worse and worse.Mr.Gerald Balfour was appointed, the other day, to see the builders on the Clyde and in Belfast, with a view of arranging the dispute between them and their men.It is to be hoped that his mission will prove successful, for if the trouble lasts much longer, untold hardship will result.Aa a matter of fact, several good contracts have been lost to the builder» simply because they wore not in & position to give guarantees that the work would be turned out on certain date.The Norwegian Government wanted a lot of torpedo boats, and the order for them was sent to the builders on the Clyde.Of course, no guarantee could be given that they would be ready, at specified time, and so the order was withdrawn, and the German builders have the contract.The Government of Italy filed an order with the Clyde people for three gunlioats, and twelve torpedo boat».They were required to ho ready by a certain day, but a satisfictory promise could not be given, and that order too, was taken away.It is a pity that something is not done to bring matters to a settlement, The British Government, evidently, views the situation as a very grave one, else it would not depute a leading member of the Ministry to interview the parties interested.Hitherto, that Government has held aloof from labor questions.It is now said, iu Uttawa, that Lord Aberdeen will return to Buleau Hal] in two weeks'time, and that Parliament will be c tiled together within the next forty days, for the despateh of business.The seven bye-elections in Ontario and Quebec will take place soon, and a promise has been given that all the vacancies in the Senate will be filled up before the sessiop begins.This news will be-cheering to some, and it will set at rest the anxiety of a good many other».The correspondent goes on to say that the Government has its remedial bill ready, in regard to the Manitoba Schools, in case the Creknway Cabinet declines to act in the meantime.It is described as a moderate measure, and c»n be looked upon as a compromise.It is said that it will enact that Catholic ratepayers will be free to have their school taxes go to the maintenance of separate schools, that they will bo free to select their own text-book» in history, and that certain privileges will be granted in tho way of religious instruction.Outside of this, any separate schools thus created will be subject to public school inspection and discipline.Teachers must be sent to the Provineial examinations for certificates, and the text-books must be the authorized text-books of the Province.There will be no reconstruction of the ok] separate schools with their admitted inefbeieocy.This, the correspondent assures the public, is supposed in well-informed circles, to be the extent of the Government programme of remedial legislation.The entire Cabinet, we hear, has settled upon it, and the French Conservative leaders in Quebec, and tho English Conservative leaders in Ontario will make efforts to bring their followers into line in each of the Provinces on such a policy.Tho correspondent adds :\u2014 \u201cThe Government will justify the bill cm llis straight ground that the Catholics of Manitoba are.as Mr.Foster pointed out at London the ather day, within the constitution as finally interpreted by the courts, in asking for a remedial law giving them some kind of separate schools.\u201cThe Government hardly expect to carry West Huron, says the correspondent, but they intend to tight for North Ontario and Cardwell with all the energy they can command.They will make a strong appeal to t ie Conservatives in these ultra-Protestant ridings not to condemn them, because circumstances which they never created, compel them to abide by the constitution, but to support them because they are true to the National Policy and true to the traditions of 3:r John Macdonald.\u201cAs to the current talk of dissension in the Cabinet, the correspondenj s»ys there seems to be little reason for it, adding that, on the contrary, there is au evident determination to strengthen the Administration, by bringing in new and influential blood.\u201d The body must be well nourished now, to

Measures Advanced.IMPORTANT DECLARATION BY HON.L.P.PELLETIER.Tress Gallery, Parliament House, Tuesday, Nov.12th, 1895.Things are growing more lively about the Parliament House and the Assembly is now getting into the thick of its work.The Committees are all fully organized and a meeting of that on Private Bills was held to-day.THE LEGISLATIVE obUKCIL met this afternoon but only for a few minutes, as few bills were ready for it in the other House.Three Government measures, however, passed through their final stages in the Assembly later in the day, including that of the Premier to repeal certain taxes, though the Opposition moved an amendment which was defeated on a division of 38 to 18.The sitting of the House lasted till midnight, by which time most of the remaining Supplementary Estimates had been voted.As will be seen more fully below, on the motion to go into Supply Mr.Marchand moved an amendment to the effect that only a portion of the population was relieved by the taxes repeal ed, but this was defeated by & vote of 33 to 18.Quite a ripple of excitement was created this afternoon by the question of privilege raised by Hon.Mr.Pelletier, as reported below.Drs.Globensky and Lovejoy, Montreal, of the Quebec Denial Association, are in town oppose the Dental Bill promoted by to Bishop\u2019s College, which was presented in the Legislative Council to-day.Dr.Casgrain, of Quebec, is lobbying with them.IN THE HOUSE TO-DAY.Mr.Rioux introduced a bill to amend the charter of the town of Fraserville.Mr.Parizeau introduced a bill to amend the charter of the city of Montreal.Hon.Mr.Hackett presented a bill to amend the charter of the town of Coaticooke Mr.Panneton presented a bill to amend the law concerning the Compton model farm Hon.Mr.Flynn brought down the annual report of the Crown Lands Department for the past fiscal year.Hon.Mr.Pelletier laid on the table of the House the correspondence with the Sisters of St.Jean de Dieu, and the documents con cerning the change of interest on the amount due the Province by the C.P.R.Hon.Mr.Pelletier rose to a personal ex planation.He read to the House certain paragraphs which appeared in Le Monde aud La Patrie in which there seemed to be an in sinuation that he had received money in an irregular manner from the Temiscouata Rail way.After having read the paragraphs question and having also drawn attention to the fact that La Preate also incidentally mentioned his name in the same connection Mr.Pelletier continued \u201cI wish to declare before these rumors and in sinuations go any further that I have nothing in common with the Temiscouata Railway which has fought me in every way and against which I have contended not only on the hustings but also in the press and even before the Executive Council.I even succeeded in preventing the Company from receiving its subsidy directly and on account of the opposition made by me a syndic was named to see that the payments were legitimate.Hon C.A.P.Pelletier was chosen and I was obliged to accept this nomination because I saw that the Govern ment would pay in any case.A man with an honest reputation was at last put in possession of the funds and the trust of seeing that they were legitimately employed was entrusted to him.The persons against whom insinuations were made are free to do what they wish, but I wish to clear myself at once Now let a respectable and solvent journal (I employ these words designedly because I am tired of obtaining judgments against in solvents) let a respectable aud solvent journal, I say, take the responsibility of bringiog a direct and precise charge against me and I will prosecute aud thus afford an opportunity for all the en quiry asked for.It stands to reason that do not bind myself to prosecute certain papers which have nothing to risk either from financial point of view or with regard to the respectability of their editors.The habitual filth of these pretended newspapers does not deserve notice.Let a serious and respectable paper, however.bringadirect and precise action against me and 1 will meet it without delay.1 cannot understand why these unfounded insinuations arp made.If it is a threat to prevent certain pretended Ministerial changes some people are mistaking me greatly and doing themselves a great, deal of unnecessary harm without any reason.\u201d (Applause).Hon.Mr.Marchand\u2014\u201cYou spoke of prose cuting some of the papers in question ; prose cute Isa Fretse.'\u2019 Hon.Mr.Pelletier-:-\u201c4a Prem brings no other accusation against me than that result ing from my uamn being next to that of Mr Pacaud.Does tho leader of the Opposition find that is enough to justify au action ?\u201d After a few remarks exchanged between Mr.Marchand and Mr.Pelletier, concerning La Pairie, during which the Provincial Secre tary reminded the leader of the Opposition of Mr.Beaugrand\u2019s letters, the incident ended amidst loud Ministerial applause.Hon.Mr.Taillon moved the third reading of his bill to repeal the Act 57 Vic , chap 11 relative to certain taxes and licenses.Mr.Glsdu moved in amendment : That the said bill be not now read a third time but it that be referred back to Committee of the Whole, with instructions to replace the words \u201cis repealed\u201d at the end of the first paragraph of the first section by the ful lowing :\u2014\u201cAnd the article 119 of the Revised Statutes of Quebec as enacted by section 1 of chapter 17 of the Act 55-56 Victoria aud its amendments are hereby repealed.\u201d He urged that instead of repealing altogether the taxes Î0 question, the Government should reduce them and at the same time reduce those upou successions and transfers of pro perty, so as to treat all equally.Hon.Mr.Taillon raised the question of order that the amendment was not releveut to the main motion.After a long speech on the question of order by Mr, Gladu.Hon.Speaker LeBlanc made «.u exhaustive statement of the case aud ruled that tho Premier\u2019s objection was well taken, since Mr.Glu iu\u2019s amendment really called in question a different law from that to which the main motion referred.He also added that an opportunity to bring up this question could be had ;n the future on a motion to go into Committee qî Supply or something of the kind, Mr.Gladu then moved another amendment to the effect that Paragraph 2, Section I., he struck out and that the words \u201con the day that it is sanctioned\u201d repace the words >\u2018)Dlh ()ct.1896.\u201d Mr.Qladu made a speech hacking up his motion aud asked how there could be a guarantee that the state of tho Provincial finances would be better iu October, iSlit), than now.Hon.Mr.Taillon, in reply to the \u201cHon.Treasurer of the Opposition,\u201d as he termed him, said that they were in every way likely to be better.For instance when the Conservative Government left office in 1SS7 the condition ot the Provincial finances were fair.A year later they were tangled beyond recognition.The Hon.Premier stated that it was desirable to receive the taxes up to JSOli in order to pay for the Montretl Court ilousa extension.If in tlie meantime it were found possible to do away with the taxes before October 1st, the law could be suspended.Mr.Stephens insinuated that the Govern ment had acted to a certain degree in I; id faith in announcing at the elections in Montreal No.6 that these taxes would be removed, since the impression had been conveyed by the statements of lion.Mr.Hackett, that they would 1 c removed at once instead of in a year from now.Even at the time of the announcement some pei pie had insinuated and even openly declared that the Government would never carry out its promises and that it never had any intention of removing the taxes.He was glad to see that these were mistaken in their statements.Hon.Mr.Hackett replied to Mr Stephens, who had, he said, correctly read a correct rc-uort of the statement he had made to the people of Montreal, which statement was borne out by the bill now before the House.Everybody was aupprsed to know tl at these taxes were due aud payable on the 1st October in each year.At the viry time that the Montreal election was going on and that he had made his statement to the electors, the bills which usually go out in September were being sent out for the taxes that were falling due on t he 1st October.It was not of course intended or pretended that taxes then falling due, and some of which had actually been paid, were going to be repealed, but they were the last that would he collected, and none would fall due, according to the provt sions of this Act, on the 1st October, 1896.There was no clap-trap at all about the matter, which ought to be perfectly plain whether to Mark Twain or to the member for Huntingdon.Mr.Aupi^ made one of the most forcible and most logical speeches heard on the floor of the House recently ami was listened to with close attention.He began by stating that he had never approved of the taxes which it was now proposed to remove, and he said that he had not hesitated to express his opinion and to cast his vote against the Gov* eminent on that measure iu a free and independent spirit.The Government\u2019s decision to repeal them was, however, all that oould now be asked for.It was always desirable to remove obnoxious laws at the very earliest opportunity, but he understood, and so did everyone else, that the year began October 1st each year, and if there was one thing more than another that he was oppose l to it was having laws made retroactive.He felt that these laws on certain corporations and certain individuals were unjust and that they weighed on the poor through the rich even if not directly.He was also of opinion that Montreal was unjustly taxed compared to the rest of the Province by the law in question.Still, as before said he had honestly and conscientiously stated and stood to his convictions.Now, however, that these obnoxious taxe» were about to be repealed, would it not he illogical and childish in the extreme for him, a man who had so opposed them, to support Mr.Gladu\u2019a motion aimed at theGovirment\u2019s very attempt to remove them.Continuing, Mr.Augàsaid that he had never before heard in the history of politival economy of a tax, once imposed having been repealed.This was the first instance.He would praise the Government because it deserved his praise.(Applause ) Mr.Gladu too had opposed the t^x-on property and wished to see it removed, but he would ask if it was not the most just that cpuld be devi»ed.Jt had been claimed that the law to be removed crushed the poop and wounded the widow.How then could anyone blame a Government that shotved its good wishes for the people by removing it ?He was honest and independent enough to vote against the Goveninu-tU on imposing obnoxious taxes, but he would support it on this question and whenever he could would do so.He demanded if the Opposition ever asked for the judicial sense of the House, and said that the member for Yamaska had not given a single decent reason or argument in favor of his contentions.He agaiu hid the greatest pleasure in congratulating the Government and he assured it tint it had his support iu all just schemes of taxation since money must be raised to keep the fi.iancial uffurs of the Province in a healthy umdilion.(Loud applause.) The vote on the amendment proposed by Mr.Gladu was then taken and resulted as follows : \u2014 For\u2014Messrs.Bernatchez, Bisson, Dechene, Girard (Rouville), Gladu, Gosselin, Liliberte, Lemieux,

the city must pay the cost of their maintenance in jail.Hon.Mr.Casgrain\u2019s Bill respecting the jndiciil closing of inventories was passed through Committe of the Whole, read a third time and passed.It provides as follows : \u2014 \u201cInventories judicially closed by protho notaries of the Superior Court, clerks of the Circuit Court or their deputies, since the coming into force of the Revised Statutes are declared to have been validly close I, and power is conferred on the said officers, for the future, to judicially close inventories, cases in which such formality is required, as if the said settion 23 of chapter -78 of the Consolidated Statutes for Lower Canada had not been repealed.\u201d Mr.Stephens asked for a statement show ing all commissions and expenses incurred iu the negotiation of the loan of December, 1894,\t£>,333,000.Curried.He also moved for a return of all cares in the various Courts which were en délibéré on the 1st November 1895,\tand this was refused by the House on a division of 32 to 16, after the Attorney General haa pointed out how costly and com paratively useless such a return would be and how easily the information desired could be obtained through another source.Mr.Stephens\u2019 motion for^ statements of all sums paid during 1895 for printing was withdrawn after Hon.Mr.Pelletier had stated that all the contracts hud been submitted to the House.Mr.Stephens moved for a statement giving the nanje of tfie epntractor fqr the supply of flone for breaking, at the Montreal Gaol, in the fiioa) years, 1893, 1894, 1895- Curried.He altt > moved his resolution tq hold factory inspectors liable for official neglect and en larged upou the necessity of insisting upon efficiency in such inspections and especially uponthe necessity of tire drillia large factories, etc.Mr.Raker ridiculed some of the proposals involved in the resolution ami the sense of the House being evidently against it the mover dropped it.Mr.Gladu\u2019a motion for a statement showing the amounts in capital and interest due to the Government on the price of suies and leases of Crown Lands since Confederation Was adopted with some modifications sug gested by Hon.Mr.Flynn.On Mr.Taillons motion that the House go into Committee of Supply ou Supplementary Estimates, Mr.Marchand moved iu amend ment \u201cThat this House is of opinion that the modifie ition of the taxes proposed by the Government and announced in the Speech from the Throne only relieves a certain por tion of the population of this 1\u2019roviuce from the onerous and unjust burdens that have been imposed upon it, and that it is desirable that these modifications should be effected in a manner to relieve equally ail classes of taxpayers.\u201d Hon.Mr.Taillon, in reply to Mr.Marchand, expressed his surprise that those who were responsible for the impositiou of the taxes should insist so much upon their repeal.Those that remained were equally a charge upon all classes of the population.The discussion was continued by Mossrs.Gladu, {Martineau, Lussier aud Dechenes, aud was of a very monotonous aud uninteresting character.The amendment was defeated by 33 to 18 ami the House went into Committee of Supply and after exhumtive explanations passed lour or live items, including those for agricultural schools and lecturers aud Imperial Insiitute.The House a-ljourucd at

support.Hon.Mr.Garneau stated that the Company were prepared to hand over to the city bonds for double the amount loaned.Betides the money loaned would only become payable as the sections on the Great Northern Railway are completed.MR.R.H.DOr.KLL explained the course of the railway and described the country through which it runs.He demonstrated w ith great clearness the important jro/e played by railways in civilization and the prosperity.of cities.If the city grants the loan asked for it will show its appreciation of progress and thus give an impetus to new enterprises.A bridge will eventually be built across the river here and then Quebec will become the greatest transshipping point in America.He was sanguine that Quebec's future is yet to be made.Its geographical position is a commanding one.It only requires the exertion of our leading representative men to make the ancient city a most prosperous one.If the city does not help the Great Northern Railway, the works on the road will be suspended immediately.If, ou the contrary, tlie city now accedes to the demand the Finance Committee could leave the room that night with the assurance that within two years the Parry Sound Railway will be an accomplished fact.Mr.Chateauvert spoke in the same strain.\u2019\tHON.D.A.ROSS pointed out that it w\u2019as a patriotic action to provide work for the unemployed laborers, five hundred of whom from this city alone, would get immediate employment.There is no doubt but that Quebec can rival any other city in America if it lets loose tlie energy required to develop its incomparable advantages.MR.J.O.SCOTT bore testimony to the earnestness of the Directors of the Parry Sound Railway toward the Great Northern Railway in nuking Quebec the terminus of the Parry Sound.He said the Company was now negotiating to sell its bonds and as soou as this was doue it would repay the loan to the city.He gave details concerning the financial condition of the Company and other statistics will be furnished the Committee at its request, for its next meeting.Meanwhile, a large number of the city\u2019s unemployed are anxiously awaiting definite action on the part of both the city qq^i the Company.Newest Styles in Collars.SOME OF THE ARTISTIC AND DAINTY ACCESSORIES FOR GOWNS.Electric cira have certainly put on tho market a largi number of horses, and have tended to the

states that crush or stock collars will continue in style made of velvet, silk or satin, as woolen goods are usually too heavy to lie in loose folds.Rosettes at the sides are rather passe, but points of the same ora contrasting material form a pretty finish.These points are named after the Parisian modiste Faquin.One point i» turned over on etch side, being an inch and a half wide at the top and a sharp point at lire bottom whero it i» even with Jthe 1 >wer edge ot the straight or crush collar.Another style has a crush collar, with two pointed tabs and a tiny knot on each side Airing out like a pair of bird\u2019s wings.For a demi evening dress a collar that is very becoming to a short, full neck is of velvet, forming a deep point.The ends meet in front under two small rosettes, and the hick is three inches de.p.To the edge of this is sewed ten inch lace, which is shown its full length front and back, while aro ind the points it is only three inches be low the velvet.By adding this collar and a hi It, crushed or shaped in a point of velvet, a house dress may be wonderfully freshened Pretty collars and belts of number twelve fancy figured or striped ribbon are made by shaping the centre front with a Y or dart At the back the hooks and eyes are con cealed by four loops on each side ; two long ones project sidewise and two shatter loops are thrust straight out backward.Theo for further decoration, straps of the ribbon may be added over the shoulders, ending half-way to the belt back aud front under a small bow which may hold a fancy buckle.LACE CURTAINS AND WINDOW DRAPERIES t NEW

Dear Sir,\u2014Your editorial in reference to Mr.Dobell\u2019s letter I have read.And I hereby request you to print the objectionable letter in question with my full signature to it, so that the public may judge whether my letter was a \"rùjmarolt,\" or not.I may be harnessed by some short comings, but so far no man has had the hardiness to accuse me of cowardice !

but it had failed to achieve a successful voyage, and had lain at the river\u2019s bottom for years with its freight of letters for the besieged Parisians, some of whom, however, had the gratification of receiving them five years after date.As to Mr.4-hapleau.The Toronto 67/o5e\u2019s Ottawa correspondent says that Mr.Chapleau insists on a re-organ izalion of the Ministry if he has anything to do with it.Mr.Ouimet would have logo.Clarke Wallace will be required to pledge his support to remedial legislation and, in default, \u2019¦eceive his walking ticket.Premier Bowell himself must give a pledge to resign immediately after the approaching session.This latter condi ion, the correspondent states, Sir Mackenzie Bowell may not know to be included in Mr.Chapleau\u2019s demands, but the Lieut.-Governor bus at least made it plain to others in the Cabinet and out of it.Mr.Chapleau will rule the Cabinet if he enters it.Fapm Pupils.Why any one should pay £25 to be taught farming, as a number of young Englishmen have been charged in Kansas, or $25 or even 25 cents, is something almost beyond the comprehension of the average Canadian.In the Old Country, the practice of paying premiums by apprentices to any trade is a time-honored one which does not prevail in the new w^rld where, on the contrary, the em-bryotic mechanic is usually paid a certain amount of wages during his apprenticeship.There have been, it is true, some Old Countrymen who have been induced, through the representations of so-called emigration associations which not infrequently wear a serai-philanthropic cloak, to pay handsome honuses to Ontario farmers, but he would be a pretty useless individual lacking either in brain or brawn who could uot engage himself on a Canadian farm without being taxed heavily for the privilege of working for nothing and boarding himself, The fact that during the past autumn five thousand young Ontario and Quebec farmers secured remunerative employment in the harvest fields of Manitoba would indicate that there is room for a good many persons wishing to acquire experience in the art of agriculture\u2014and who are willing to work \u2014without that expense to themselves or their fathers which is imposed by these associations The Governments, whether Local or Federal, should be the agencies through which these strangers should be placed on farms, and every facility should be afforded them by Government officials in their laudable aim ; at any rate, it would be one step towards the inauguration of th«t vigorous immigration policy of which we have heard so much and seed so little.\u2014 Montreal Star.INSPECT THE LATEST IMPORT For Overcoats Choicest and (Low in Price.D.MORGAN, October 28, 1895l l .sew «lore results ujilaw For Esquimaux Point, &c.STEAMER \u201cOTTER\u201d IS INTENDED TO leave Quebec on Tuesday, 12th instant, at 12 o\u2019clock Noon.Calls at Rimouski following day.A.FRASER ft CO., Agents, 98 St.Peter Street.November 11, 1895.INFORMATION WANTED Thomas scott, collector of ¦ Customs, at the Port of Quebec, died 1810.Will anyone holding letters from the above, or able to threw any light upon his family connections, kindly communicate with J.HINDSON, Peel Square.Barnsley, England.November 9, 1895.\tGp Books !

and Sir Rivers stated to me, in terms which I could only regard as highly complimentary, that I should comply with his wishes were I to take a seat on the English Board, aod so have the opportunity of acting in the capacity of an advisory director there.1 thought, perhaps, after twenty-two years of experieuce on this side of the Atlantic, and considering the great sympathy I have always felt with your efforts to improve the railway practice of the continent, with a knowledge of the difficulties with which you have to contend, and my participation in your counsels, that I might be useful in London in connection with the future proceedings of this Board, as well as io relation to more domestic Canadian matters.I, therefore, accepted the proposal, and my mantle, each* as it is, has fallen upon Mr.Charles M.Hayes, Vice-President of the Wabash Railroad Company, who will, in the early part of next year, act in my place.I hope you will exteud to him the consideration which you have always shown to myself.I think it only proper that I should make this statement orally, rather than by official intimation, because I should not like to leave America without personally expressing to you the pleasure I have always fel\u2019- in work ing with you, and my sincere gratitude for the many acts of kindoess and*consideration which y»n have extended to me during my connection with the Trunk Line Association.I shall be exceedingly happy if, at any time, I can be of service to that association, collec lively, or to its members individually, and shall always feel the deepest interest in your proceedings.(Applause.) REMARKS OF MR.DÇPEW.Mr.Chauncey Depew, President of the New York Central, said :\u2014We, all of usl have heard, with regret, that Mr.Seargeant is to leave us.He certainly lakes with him the personal good feeling and warmest friend ship of the members of the Trunk Line and Central Traffic Associations.The relations of the Grand Trunk to both these associa lions have been very difficult, from the fact that it is operated in a foreign Dominion and io the United States.It requires a man of rare good judgment, patience, and courtesy to act harmoniously with the competitive interests with which he has to contend in the West and in the East.Having had ex peri ence in this association as president of the New York Central Railroad, for about twelve years, and with the different representatives of the Grand Trunk Railway as they have come here, I want to say for Mr.Seargeant that there has never been a period, either during my connection with the association as a member, or for many years previous as assistant and counsel to the president of our company, when the harmony between the Canadian and American railways has been as great or sincere as since Mr.Seargeant has been the representative of the Grand Trunk.I offer the followins\u2019resolution as an expression of the individual and collective opinion and sentiment of the two associations : \u2014 litHolved,-That we, the President and General Managers of the railways in the Trunk Line and Central Traffic Association, learn with profound regret that L.J.Sear géant, Eiq., of the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada, will, on account of his acceptance of other duties abroad> in connec tion with that Company, cease to be a mem her of our organizations He has brought to the discussion and decision of the important questions which are constantly before us such ability and fairness that he has materially assisted io our deliberatioos.He carries with him to his position our cordial regard aod best wishes for his health, happiness and success.MR.INGALLS* TRIBUTE.Mr.Ingalls, President of the C.A G.T.Railway, then said :\u2014I want to second that resolution, and add my testimony to the fairness and generous consideration which Mr.Seargeant has always brought to the dis eussions of railway questions in the Trunk Line and Central Traffic Associations during the last seventeen or eighteen years.In his loss we are only consoled by the fact that we all feel that it is of the greatest importance to us that there should be some one in the London Board of the Grand Trunk Railway who undestands railway affairs in America, and we shall depend upon him for his good words and influence in London, to help us out.I do not remember a man who has ever left our Associatiou that has carried with him more profound respect and sincere good wishes of his associates than Mr.Seargeant.The resolution was adopted unanimously, and, on motion, the meeting adjourned until November 19lb.Mr.Earl P.Stanley, who is described as \u201ca prominent mining engineer of San Francisco,\u201d has been interviewed by the Victoria Colcnii*t, and has waxed enthusiastic regarding the British Columbian mining prospects.\u201cI have,\u201d he said, \u201cbeen through the better known mining sections of British Columbia over and over again, and when I say that British Columbia is the greatest mining country in the world, I am prepared to prove it.So impressed am I with this fact that I have brought my blankets along with me, and will henceforth be a British Columbian.I want to be here and be better known than I am to British Columbia people, when the boom is on in this Canadian Pacific country, iu about three years\u2019 time, for I think t ie greatest mining excitement of modern times is due to strike here about then.\u201d South Africa is now having its imiiugs, and it seems as if the western Province would have its turn next.Smokers of imported Egyptian Cigarettes pronounce the

appropriate to the Christmas season.It is by Katharine Tyuao Hinkson and is called \u201cOur Lord\u2019s Coming and Childhood\u2014Six Miracle Plays.\u201d There are also to be full page drawings by Mr.Patten Wilson.Mrs.Hinkson's utterance of Catholic faith is said to be exquisite in its simplicity aud sincerity, and Mr.Wilson\u2019s drawings are sure not to be only beautiful in themselves but in perfect sympathy with the text.Although there is much controversy about him it may safely be said that Mr.William Watson stands at the head of all the younger English poets.Of course Mr.Ssrinbume and Mr.Morris have a position quite apart, but excepting what may come from them, a new volume by Mr.Watson is in the opinion of many critics the publication of the year iu verse.\u201cThe Father of the Forest\u201d is announced for immediate publication by Stono A Kimball.Mr.Hamlin Garland\u2019s long expected novel is at last announced for immediate publication by Stone A Kimball.It is now some years since Mr.Garland has published anything except short stories.During this period the critics have united in saying that his touch has become firmer and his sympathies broader.So it is confidently asserted that this new story is by far his most important piece of work.It is, as the title implies, a tale of Western life, being called \u201cRose of Dutcher\u2019s Coolly.\u201d Stone A Kimball announce a novel by H.I».Marriott Watson, entitled \u201cGalloping Dick\u2014being Chapters from the Life and Fortunes of Richard Ryder, otherwise Galloping Dick, sometime Gentleman of the Road.\u201d Some of these chapters came nut in the Chap-Book and were full of excitement and color.A highwayman of the Restoration period is as picturesque a character as a novelist has ever had, and Mr.Marriott Watson has proved his ability to handle the material.A curious condition of affairs in the autumn publishing trade is the relative importance of memoirs, aud books'of letters.The supremacy of the novel is of course iu no wise threatened.Yet it is probable that Stevenson s \u201cVuilima Letters\u201d w ill this year assume the importance of a new novel by the same hand.Indeed to a true lover of Stevenson nothing could he mure fascinating than a study of the well-beloved Louis himself.The bicycle, ar everywhere el.-e, is having an immense vogue at the national Capital, where thu asphalt

the Union Depot to-day the scenes rivalled those at the Grotto of Lourdes, so graphically depicted by Zola.Every train that arrived, from the first break of day to midnight, was filled with its quota ot sick, fe'ble and emaciated invalids, who had come for treatment by Schlatter, the New Mexico healer.This is the last week of the healer in Denver, and the visitors are afraid that when he reaches a larger city it will be next to impossible to approach him for the laying on of hands.Cripples are as numerous as the able-bodied among the travellers, and the lower hotels are turning away guests, who desire to be within reasonable distance of the goal when the sun rises in the morning, and they get ready to take position in the almost'end less line that haunts the healer\u2019s neighborhood.One special train arrived this evening carrying 300 penons from along the line ot the Union Pacific Railroad, to whom free passes had been given by the management, so confident are the railroad men in the supernatural powers of the healer.A circular had been issued by the Union Pacific, announcing that the train would leave Omaha last night, and all who suffered among their employes would be carried to Denver free of charge.When they arrived here this evening the interior of the depot resembled a hospital, for they came on crutches, with broken limbs, distorted arms and fractures of various mem \u2019 bers, that defied the best surgical skill of the railway company\u2019s physicians.It is stated that this extraordinary faith of a corporation is due to the remarkable cure effected in the case of the wife of General Mauager Dickinson.IffiARETTES lore Sold Than of All Other Brands Comhined.The Situation in Paris.New York, Nov.10 \u2014M.Jacques St.Au^uat 24.1895.At Death\u2019s Threshold.\u201c Gail Hamilton \u201d Tells of Her Sensations During Her Late Illness.Since her partial restoration to health.Miss Dodge has written the history of her experience at the threshold of death.She says that she was taken ill lost spring, while locked in a room in the Blaine mansion at Washington.She felt that she was falling, and realized (hat something very serious had seized her.Her most intense feeling was a realization of the shock that her friends would receive when they broke open the door and found her dead upon the fli-or.She felt that the shock would be lessened to them if they should find her lying in a natural position upon the sofa, and so she made a mighty effott with her fast ebbing strength to cross the room to the sofa.She reached it, but stumbled and fell on the floor beside it.She realized the situation when her friends found her, and could *hear them as they spoke about her, although apparently she was unconscious.Then came a long blank, that lasted how long she knew not.At times she would partially recover consciousness.and wonder w hether she were dead or not.Her brothers, Stanwood and Brown Dodge, both of whom are dead, one of them dying less than a year ago, appeared to her and conversed with naturalness.She sometimes felt that she would like to speak and inquire if she was really in the other world, but found it impossible to enunciate a syllable.The still tongue that sometimes seems to show a wise head may indicate at the same time a nut very aggressive conscience.Aggressive union in good deeds is better than mere formal union in

and quiet, the public standing round the great bankers to watch their faces.The fact is that if the crisis continues no one can tell what will happen.The number of banking houses that have closed their doors is very great, but the Dumber of private persons who have been ruined is still greater.All classes of society were carried away by the mining craze.A former king has been obliged to pay 4,000,000 francs, through a Jewish banker, who is friend of his.A speculator who has been on the Bourse for five years loses 25,000,000 francs.The head of an establishment that is known everywhere, loses 15,000,000 francs, and his oldest brother is said to be so angry that he refuses to assist him io carrying for ward on the Bourse to the end of the month which would entail a still greater catastrophe Meanwhile, this morning, the Finance Min ister summoned M.Vermencl, the broker, and Baron Alphonse de Rothschild, to ask for their opinions.These geutlemeo declared that the crisis was due to the fact that peo pie sold Turkish aod French securities to buy mining shares, and that when they wished to sell their mining shares they were unable to find purchasers, and the crash came.Sore
