Sails.London, Aug.16\u2014Sir Wilfrid Laurier sojourning at the Hotel Cecil.The Paris Figaro publishes an interview with the Canadian Premier in which the latter is quoted as raying that Canadians would be quite ready to develop commercial, intercourse with France.He believed that a tariff favorable to both could not fail to bo established between France and Canada, and that in view of the denunciation of the treaties with Belgium and Germany by England, he thought an advantageous tariff was now feasible.Sir Wilfrid alluded to his recent visit to the Holy See and said : \u201c1 think Pope Leo the greatest statesman of the century.The knowledge possessed by His Holiness of European, American and Canadian affairs aud his intimacy with the political current of the wholo world struck me with admiration.\u201d SIR LOUIS H.DAVIES\u2019 ADDRESS.Sir Louis Davies addressed the Canadian trade section of the London Chamber of Commerce.There were twenty-two reporters in an audience of sixty, most of whom were Csnadiane.Every reference made by Sir Louis to the necessity for strengthening the lies that bind the Mother Land to her Colonies was received with tumultuous applause.He cautioned investors against wild cat mining scheme* and warned intending emigrants against the sharper.He spoke, too, of the alluring accounts sent across about the Klon-dyke gold fields, and failed not to picture the perils attending ike journey to them.Of Canada\u2019s resources and possibilities he gave a glowing description.THE FAST ATLANTIC STEAMSHIP LINE.Enquiry fails to elicit the information as to heiher the Petersen, Tate Co., who undertook the contract for the new Hue of steamers to Canada, have paid the deposit due on the 30 alt., required by the contracf.it is now said that the choice of the British terminal point for the fast steamship service lies between Liverpool and Milford Haven.BALLOON SEEN FROM A STEAMER.Stavanokr, Norway, August 16\u2014The steamer \u201cKonghalfdan,\u201d which has just ar rived here, reports that at 4.50 a.m, ou Saturday she sighted between liaugceund and Ryvarden a large balloon going fast southeast st an altitude of 1,500 feet.A guide rope about 400 feet long depended from the car.It is thought probable that this was the balloon of Cetii, the uronaut, who ascended on Friday at Urendal, with a southeasterly wind blowing.FRANCO-ITALIAN DUELLISTS MAY BE EXCOMMUNICATED.London, Aug.16\u2014A despatch to-day from Rome says it is reported there that the Pope ill excommunicate Prince Henry of Orleans and the Connt

power.She is commaoded by Captain John Ferris.MILITARY ACTIVITY IN INDIA.Bombay, August 16\u2014There is general military activity in India in view of the concentration of strong reserves of soldiers on the north-western frontier.Detachments of troops from distant cantonments are moving north-westward and the railroads are kept tu*y transporting soldiers towards the scene of the threatened troubles.Many officers have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to return to their regiments, and leave of absence in the case of members of the medical staff has been st< pped and 21 surgeons have been recalled Horn leave in England.It is generally recognized that the so-called Mad Mullah is responsible for the raid near Peshawar and he uudoubtodiy plannid BABY'S COniNO.Nature intended that every woman should look forward to the coming of her baby with joy and hope, unclouded by anxiety.Almost painless parturition is quite the usual thing among uncivilized people.Even in our own country It occasionally happens with women in robust health and good condition.It ought to be the rule instead of the exception ; and it is a fact that a very large proportion of the usual pain and suffering may be avoided by looking after the mother\u2019s general health, and specially strengthening the particular organs concerned in parturition.Many mothers have been brought through the trying time almost painlessly by the aid of Dr.Pierce\u2019s Favorite Prescription.It prepares the system for delivery by imparting the organic strength and elasticity which the mother specially needs ;sborteus the time of labor and of confinement ; pro-motes the secretion of abundant nourishment for the child and fortifies the entire constitution against the after period of depression and weakness.It\u2019s use_ should begin in the early mouths of gestation the earlier the better.Mrs Fred Hunt, of Glenville.Schenectady Co., JV.K.says : \u201c I read about Dr.Pierce's Favorite Prescripliou being so good for \u2022» woman with chikl so I got two bottles last September, and Decemlier nth.I had a twelve-pound baby girl.; When I wmi confined I was not sick in anyway.( X did not sillier any pain, and wnen the child J was born I walked into another room and went J to bed.I never had an afler-pain or any other j pain.This is the eighth child and the largest j of them all.I siitfrrcd everything that flesh } couitl suffer with tins other babies.I always had j a doctor and then he could not help me verv much, l ut this time my mother aud my husband were a'nne with me.My baby was ouiy seven days old when I got up aud diessed aud left my room and stayed up all day.\" the recent Swat uprising, The Mullah lives in the Mohammedan country inside the Afghan border.While the attack on Malakand was proceeding he collected and sent tribesmen to help the Swats.His raid on Shahkadar was intended as a diversion in favor of the Swat*, who were smarting over their failure to capture Malakand and Chakdar*.The Mad Mullah'ii proclamations summoning the tribes to Atjehad were scattered broadcast throughout the B*joiir, Swat Black Mountain, Indus and Kanistan districts.Local Afghan officials aided in their circulation.There is no doubt that the Mullah, in his Sh&bkidar raid had under hia command numbers of Afghan aoldierp, and it is even rumored that they were the Ameer\u2019s peers.The Ameer, it is expected, will disclaim all responsibility for the act ions of his tribesmen, but it is not likely that the Government will be satisfied by his disavowal in view ot the attitude recently assumed by him.AMERICAN DESPATCHES.THE DEATH RUSH TO THE KLON-DYKE.San Francisco, Cal, August 16-Daniel Gable, an old and experienced miner, who was one of the first to join the rush to the Klondyke, has returned and tells a story calculated to deter others from going in search of gold.He learned from many experienced mining men at Juneau and further up that it would be suicide to go before spring.He says :-\u201cThe Alaskan mining men are positive that nearly all who are trying to gel to Dawson City will be frozen up en route until next epring, and (hough their fate is uscer-tain I will not answer for the lives of the tenderfeet who are now going.\u2019\u2019 KILLED BY FEMALE BICYCLISTS.Buffalo, N Y\u201e Aug.16\u2014John Fossett, 72 years old, was knocked down by three women riding bicycles while crossing Front Avenue at Hudson street and sustained injuries from which he died soon afterwards.Mr.Fossett was thrown violently to the pavement, striking on the back of his head.He was knocked senselest.A crowd soon collected about him, and while all were trying to discover the nature of his injuries the women skipped out.DESPATCHES Death on the Railwav Track

Morning Chronicle.) Dear Sir.\u2014la Australia, on Government owned railroads but $6.50 is charged fur 1,000 milea first clsss travel.Ou the same roads workmen can ride 30 miles for 10 cents or at the rate of one cent per three miles.In Victoria, where these rates prevail, the net income from the roads is sufficient to almost pay all the Federal taxes.This is a convincing proof of the possibility of Government WITHOUT TAXATION.Australia's railway workmen are well pail and only work eight hours per day.In cheap travel Hungary is doing even better than Australia.On Slate roads one can ride six miles for one cent and since the roads were bought by the Government the men\u2019s wages have been about doubled.Belgium tells the same story\u2014fares and freight rates cut away down and wages doubled.Yet the Belgian roads pay a yearly revenue to the Government of four million dollars.In Germany one can ride four miles for one cent on the Government owned lines and last\t.\t.year the roads paid the German Government f Puty\tMarine and lushenee a net profit of equal to twenty-five million \u2019\th'\u201c\u2019\" *t-\u2014:*-t\t\u2014 dollars.Here in Canada our Governments go and come, but unfortunately they are pretty much of a sameness as regards uselessness.Some years ago a so-called Conservative Government fleeced the people of some sixty million dollars in cash and in lands to build the Pacific Railway.The sixty millions wore not to build a railway for the people.O.i ! no.The sixty millions were simply given to a company friendly to the Government.The Pacific Railway Company must have giioned up their sleeves at the nonentities who ran the country.Anyhow the Company pocketed the sixty millions and built a road which nobody can travel on or send freight over without paying the Company unjust aod prohibitory rates.The Canadian Pacific could carry passengers from Quebec to Vancouver, and make money for the price they now charge fr.> Quebec to Toronto.Ontario and Quebec are kept apart as two distinct people owing to the rates charged by the two railway lines.The dreadful fares charged forbid Torontonians visiting Quebec, and Quebecers when told whst it ooits for railway fare to Toronto exclaim : \u201cOh ! Mon Dieu,\u201d\u2014and stay at home.Laurier, in saintly anxiety for the welfare of the people, showed the white of hia eyes when a Conservative Government threw away so much of the people\u2019s money on the Pacific Railway.Now, with a consistency which seems natural to him, he allows bis Government to throw almost four million additional on the sixty million pile of his predecessors.Not only have our Liberal Government killed their old enemies with a four million dollar kindnear, but th v have well rewarded their old friends, the Grand Trunk Railway.They have resurrected the grass-grown Drummond Railway, and dispensed, with lavish hands, large*» to some forty minor railway lines.Let all honest Liberals keep clear of the sycophantic crowd who wish to further turn our Premier\u2019s head with dangerous flattery.Instead of yelling ourselves hoarse and making puerile demonstrations, let us honestly tell Mr.Laurier that it is high time for him to take off his coat and get to work He cannot give, us the \u201cFast Line\u201d unless Petersen, Tate ft Co.kindly build it for him.He cannot get the Intercolonial to Montreal unless the Grand Trunk and Mr.Greenshields do the work for him.in fact, our Departments of Railways and of Public Works do not work.They do not know how to work.Indeed, both Blair and Tarte should be sent to some public school (not a useless separate one) where they may learn how to have a railway, a steamer or a wharf built, without waiting for some political \u201cBattlr-Axe\u201d to come along and botch the job and rob the people.Four years ago the

confidential circulars to the various lumbermen of the Province, asking their opinion as to the advisability of an export duty or a regulation compelling all lumber cm on Crown lauds to be manufactured in the Province.Lumbermen are very reticent on the matter, but no ouo denies that such a circular has been sent out.It is not known whether Premier Hardy is acting in co-operation with the Ottawa Government or not.The one proposal is a Federal one, the other a Provincial one.Possibly both Governments are anxious to ascertain which Government the lumbermen would like to see act in the matter and whether either step would seriously affect their business.YACHTING ACCIDENT IN ONTARIO.Newmarket, Out., August 16\u2014An exciting incident occurred at Roache\u2019a Point Sesterday.A

110 (JL EIrA RD - STIIA IN WA S NO T UREA T\u2014 WHA T SHE WORE.I have taken a century run.This, although it is only a season r.r so since the broad shoulder of the bicycle instructor ttia lied my tier'om frame as we bore down around the cycle path of the academy and the instroc lions to '\u2018Push\u2014keep on pushing,\u201d were freth in my ears.I would say first that a century run is not all it is reported to be.Aud that, second, any woman who can ride at all can ride a century\u2014if ! The Wheelwomen who spell their names with a capital W have always been aware of these facts, but they did not tell them, because if ! Well, they would not be such great cracks after all.It is the ambition of every woman to wheel a century.That is certain.\u201cWill yon come wheeling, my pretty m&id V \u201cCan you do a century, sir ?\u201d she said, \u201cNo, I cannot, my pretty maid.\u201d \u201cThen stay where you are, for I can,\u201d she said.It is a rhyme invented for the woman who wheels her century so easily that she finds the man who cannot do so a bore.Well, for the benefit of the woman who wants to wheel a century I will tell how it is done.I did it in a very simple place.Namely, between Grant\u2019s tomb, on Riverside Heights, and my home on Broadway, noar Fifty-fifth street.But you can do it just as I did it anywhere, provided it is level and you have a good road.I had often longed to do my century, but never dared attempt it.One day, on reaching home, I glanced at my cyclometer and found it to have registered fifteen miles.\u201cWhy,\u201d said I, \u201cI have only been up the street a few blocks.\u201d Yes, that\u2019s so,\u201d replied an experienced wheelwoman, \u201cand that is allaoentury is.\u201d Accordingly I \u201ctrained\u201d for a few days, riding two or three times a d iy, until I felt pretty sure I would do six times fifteen without feeling it.I also read all the cycle notes of century-makers.I read how a tandem couple started for Philsdelohia from City Hall, New York, and arrived hack the same day, without any trouble\u2014in about twelve hoars.And then I read tST the feat of Mrs.Harriet Folger, who did her double century within twenty-four hours, \u201cShe is no more expert than I,\u201d I ¦aid to myself in encouragement.And as matters turned out 1 was not far from right.One morning I rose at 5 o\u2019clock with a determined look on my faco and donned my prettiest bicycle suir.And I want to say here and pow that there is no such aid to long-distance bicycling as a pretty bicycle suit.No woman can enjoy a walk unless she is well dressed, and I do not believe that any woman can wheel long or well unless she wears a becoming as well as comfortable suit.There are those whosay y ou cannot ride hygieo-ically unless yon put on certain awful woollen undergarments, hideousness personified ! And that you can\u2019t do yourself justice on a wheel unless you are attired in bloomers.But this I do not believe.I hold that the average woman who wants to ride well and do herself credit on the wheel must clothe herself conventionally or she will never be a success.As I started out that day I felt a thrill of pride on seeing myself n fleeted from my glass in a suit of neat blue duck, a pair of high boots and a straw sailor hat\u2014the ideal toilet for ladylike cycling.For bicycle riding there must always be some preparatiou.1 have read that the am-lcies train upon an empty stomach in the morning before breakfast.But for pleasure aud comfort there can nothing be done before breakfast upon a wheel.At least a glass ot milk must be taken, or some fruit, or something to \u201cstay\u201d the stomach and take away the empty feeling.To tide upon an empty romach is too much like running an engine without fuel.Un that morning I pirtookof a light breakfast and mounted my nickel steed in front of my door and set out to do my \u201ccentury.\u201d Now, before explaining bow I did it, I want to give, and to get, a clear under-tanding of just what constitutes a century.Certain members of the L.A.W.originally claimed that it meant riding 100 miles without stopping.Bnt this was soon argued down.It would be impossible in practical riding to go 100 miles without dismountiog.There are too many obstacles in the road.A wheelman meets a track and must dismount or be run over.Again, there is a muddy nlacc in the road, or, again, a beginner, that bete noir of the cyclist, cuts off the path ! I; was also argued that no one cpuld or should trv to ride 100 miles without stopping for refreshment.So the question, in the L.A.VV.ranks at least, was settled by deciding that as long as the 100 miles were ridden within twenty-four hours it would be a \u201ccentury run.\u201d In riding I have always found that a per-sou can ride furthest alone.This for teveral reasons.First, that the desire to talk, aud so spend one\u2019s force, is less.And, secondly, because one can take one\u2019s own pace withou t regard to any one else.And in any kind of work this is desirable when the best results are to be obtained.Accordingly I set out on my century run alone.From my home to Grant\u2019s tomb, counting in the devious ways which you take to get sphalted streets and the prettiest scenery of the drive, is about six miles, or twelve miles for the round trip.This takes me along the new wheelman\u2019s path on Riverside, and through all the beautiful windings of the drive, and, finally down the hill and up the grade that lies back of the famous tomb, it is said to be the \u201cwheelman\u2019s path to paradise.\u201d But while I will not go to extremes regarding it, I will say it is only surpassed by the boulevards and wheelman\u2019s paths iu a very few places 1 have iailed.It is certainly ideal, overlookiog as it does the Hudson si its broadest, sad giving view of the Palisades up above.To wheel from my home to the tomb and back is nothing.And without stopping I took the journey twice.Tncu, dismounting, climbed my front steps, and, without telling my people at home of the herioc self-imposed task before me, I had breakfast with the rest of the family.I wish to say right here that no woman had evtr a more devoted family than 1, nor a more ideal home circle, and to remark that I had voiced my intention of doing a century that day I should have been straightway prevented from mounting the wheel again.Even my Utile daughter wonld have joiued iu the family protests, and between her and my devoted mother I should have had to \u201cgive in.\u201d So I did as all great conspirators have tione\u2014I held my peace aud remarked after breakfast that I thought I should ride again.This time my little girl accomoanied me, aud together we \u201cmade the tomb\u201d twice.It may seem a monotonous trip to go over one\u2019s tracks so many times in a single day.but the true wheelwoman feels none of that weariness common to other travellers.As Frances Willard says, \u201cIt is walking or flying six inches above the ground,\u201d and the sensation is so delightful that the true devotee never tires of it.After luncheon I took the trip twice mere, scoring another twenty-five milea, and later in the evening I wheeled around the picturesque tomb twice ug-tio, so completing my \u201ccentury.\u201d I should advise any woman anxious to ride a century for her own gratification to stop often to rest.Let her ride slowly, yet not slow* enough for the \u201cback pedal.\u201d Let her ride easily and without effort, yet without any endeavor to stop.The grade of the road will determine this.Going down bill she can almost coast, and going up she can push easily.Site will find it to her advantage to ride across the road and back, going up zigzag as the donkeys climb the steep Alpine roads, and to diverge, if possible, into cross paths to break the hill.I should say it it easier to ride a century than to walk ten miles, and I think any woman who has done both will bear me out in this.While riding the century I would advise the wheel-woman to drink as much as she wants of anyciol, bat not iced, drinks and (6 eat often and lightly\u2014a cracker, a sma-sandwich, an apple or other light refresh ment being just the thing needed to give her staying pow er.Should I advise auy woman to ride a century ?Yes, as often as she pleases, for cycling is to my mind of all the sports the prettiest of them all 1 Lillian Russell.We respectfully invite members of the Cle gy to see .Our Special Assortment of Materials For OHM ORMSHTS -AND- VESTMENTS.The Largest Stoek in Quebec in GOLD ASD CLOTff .Silk, Moire Anliqne and Dam-£66 AJtar Fronts, Tass Is, Loops, Cords, Braid.Fringe, 1 ace, etc., I bread and Cannelilles, Artificial Flowers and Altar Ornaments, Chasuble and Stole Cloib, in fine and halt fine aold, Moire, Curly Ground and Sparks;

each much io learn one of the other, and in order to accomplish this result they must be broüglit closer together.Herein lies the nobleness of tho work accomplished by our distinguished compatriot, Mr.Laurier.Since he has been in power is it not noticeable that the Province of Quebec is more respected than formerly ?All of this shows that tho barriers on either sides are falling.\u201d The writer of the article goes on to show that he does not wish to Hatter Mr.Laurier, and wisely remarks that did he do so he would be his worst enemy.In fact he criticiz a him, saying : \u201cAccording to us he has shown weakness in accepting a title which seems to us unsuited to this new world democracy.\u201d At the same time he recognizes, as everyone must, his good qualities, and in view of the brilliant success which he achieved as Canada\u2019s representative asks all to join in welcoming him hume.The tone of tho article all through is characterized by \u2022 moderation and thoughtful good sense, and a more general exhibition of such a way of looking at things could not fail to do a world of good.The whole tenor of the extracts recall a saying which the writer once heard from a French

is more active than in our own district, to look upon the expenditure of public money in the vicinity of Quebec as being, to a great extent, waste.But a change is taking place iu public opinion in this connection, and people are commencing to appreciate that the vast country north of Quebec has valuable resources which only require de velopmeut.The following article from tho Richmond Times is an evidence of this feeling :\u2014 GRAND\u2019MERE vs.KLONDYKE.\u201c Tbe public prints are full of exciting i with regard to the newly discovered gold fluids in the Klondyke regioo.Intense interest is felt in this discovery and the gold fever has seised on young and old who are ambitious to make a fortune iu quick time.\u201cNow that the public festivities are over the news from the gold region is the one great snbiect on the tapis everywhere.To the seriously disposed there are nevertheleae, nearer home, right here in the old Province of Quebec, up on the Sr.Maurice River, io the almost unlimited forest of spruce tbat stretches from Grand\u2019mère to the James Bty, treasures that may well vie with those of Klondyke in richness and which are vastly preferable from the point of view of certainty of results.\u201cAt the invitation of the Great Northern Railway, a party headed by the Bon.Premier Marchand and Hon.T.H.Duffy, Mio-isur of Public Woiks for the Piovince of Quebec, accompanied by Hon.Mr.Turner, L U., aod Messrs.Tessier and Robitaille, M.L A \u2019s, Hon.Frs.Langelisr, M P., M.T.Stensoo, M.P., and P.S.G.MacKenzie, advocate, Richmond, and about twenty other

Pierre, where a Urge saw mill and pulp wood establishment gives employment to a considerable number of hands.\u201cLeaving the Like St.John Road at this point the excursionists switched on to the Great Northern Railway, whose ultimate terminus is to he Parry Sound, and after a ruu of some fifty miles reached the station of Graud\u2019nière, which Aakes -fts name from a large rock rising out of the middle of ths St-.Maurice in a must picturesque manner, and presenting at its summit the figure of an old qrand'mere or \u2018grandmother.\u2019 \u201cIt G at this spot that the visitor\u2019s mind is struck with the stupendous results that trust flow from the intelligent application of capital to the development of the unlimited wealth growing wild in the vast forests of this region.\u201cHere, at Grand\u2019trère, a pulp mill coetiog one million dollars has been established some four years.A computed force of 400,000 horse power of water rushes down the falls on either - a|(fc of old grani'mere, who has looked on the waste of this vast force for centuries uuiold.\u201cTo-day, about one-tenth of this power is utilized to drive the machinery of the immense pulp mill that has been doing a thriving business since its first establishment.But the inspiring point of the whole trip is the animated scene presented to the view of over five hundred men preparing the foundation for a paper mill that will convert- into finished paper the pulp that is now shipped in its wet state to the U.8 to give Uncle 8am the profit of converting it into paper.\u2019 the

surprise to people at home after the previous refusal of his application.Tho decision of Justice Tyabjkk may be legal, but it does imtstrike us aspolitic, especially in face of the fact that Tilak\u2019s paper, the Kesari,continues its impertinences.Should Tilak fail to surrender at the given time the Bombay Government will bo properly befooled.As it is, the people of India will see in the admission to bail an acknowledgment of weakness\u2014the capital that the Oriental agitator lives and feeds upon.There was a very s atisfactory attendance at yesterday afternoon\u2019s meeting called for the purpose of arranging for a popular demonstration in honor of Sir Wilfrid LaUKIEK.As will be seen by our report jit another column, a Committee has been parity struck to make all arrangements for such demonstration, which is likely to take the form of the presentation of an address of welcome The .Griffiths Cycle Corporation will handle English» wheels only next year.The Welland Vale Manufacturing Company art out with a new and very handsome transferfor their \u201cPerfect\u201d machine.They are also to the fore with something in the Way of a ladies' chain guard.The Goold Bicycle Co.are now working on their \u201998 models.Mr Knowles states that next year\u2019s \u201cRed Bird\u201d will embody in its construction some decided changée.The Gendron Manufacturing Co.received an order from Caps Town, South Africa, on the 5th instant.Their English representative, F.Ed.Harrison, has also placed a further order for immediate delivery.Mr.A.O.Very, treasurer of the Warwick Co., spent several daye in Montreal.Although not ready to talk business for \u201998, the Warwick will come out with several new improvements, and samples will be on the road early in the fall.The Company will put a chainless wheel on the market.The Canadian business has been very flittering, and next season they will branch out very extensively.CYCLING.\u201cMet a\u2019ain Hill,\u201d dent of Cycling, has tion of the late proposed relay race Cacouna : \u2014 The annual relay race from Lovia to Cacouna was to have taken place July 31st, but owing to the condition of the roads on the first part «\u2022f the relay it was postponed and will bo run later.There was more interest than usual takeu this year, as besides trying to beat previous records there were two handsome gold medals presented forcompetitipo by the Warwick Cycle Company\u2019s Manager, Mr.T.T.Cartwright, for the best time made over the previous year.It was expected that the lime would be reduced considerably, The boys went down on the train to spend Sunday at the St.Lawrence Hull, Cacouna, where the management did all they could-to make the time pleusaut for them.After the grand ball ^iven iu honor of the Quebec Cycle Club, the boys had a cook\u2019s parade, which gave the culiugcrs and visitors a cltanco to see something novel.The baud, under liaudinaster Carrel, was a revelation, and would put Bandmaster \u201cCollie\u201d Ross to shame.Tno Drum Major, Mr.T.T.Cartwright, wus a picture, amt it is safe to say his costume was fetching.All the costumes were striitly up-lo-dutc.After screnudiog every cottegc iu town, the parade arrived at the Hull at 1 a m., and at ones commenced to let the inmates realize whàt it is to have a C.W.If you are mating a collection jj Spoons among the prettiest and of old silver we will be glad of ^ most interesting shown in Can-an opportunity to show you our ^ ada.stock of quaint old fashioned^ These Spoons are made in All Sales\tI Solid Silver Ware.\t£ Coffee, Tea, Sugar and Bon-Bon ¦ ffcYl I# ft A\tWe tave Tea Scectus, apply to the Parish Priest of St.Francois, or to tne Principal House, at Sill* r/, near Quebec , July 17,1897\tAm PASSBNGBRS.Saloon passengers per Beaver Line ss \"Lake Winnipeg,\u201d Captain W H Taylor, from Liverpool\u2014Mr J H Allden, Mrs Alldcn, Master AUden, Master H Allden, Miss A Atkinson, Dr Blair, Miss Blair, 51r J W Bradley, Mr Cope, Mr A G C Dinnick, Miss Fitzgibbon, Rev F Gill, Mr Harkness.Mrs Harkness, Mrs Holding, Mrs S P Kirkpatrick, Dr Knecktel, Dr Loveless, Mrs Loveless, Miss M Hoars, Mr J W O\u2019Hara, Mr S H Henderson, Rev W M Patton, Mrs Patton, 51r R H Ponter.Mr R G Priest, Mr R Roberts, Miss Stevenson, Miss J E Stevenson, Mr R T Score, Mrs Score, Mr C Spem er, Mr J Stevenson, Dr L W I, Ware, Miss Wilson, Mr J Mclvor, Mrs J Mclvor, Mr W Paine, Mrs Paine.Harper\u2019s Bazar.During August Harper's Bazar will con tain interesting articles on \" Alaska Bracelets,\u201d by Eliz* R.Scidmore, and on \" The Huyavrouw in New Amsterdam,\u201d by Helen Evertson Smith ;

that he had struck the man in question and knocked him down, pleading self-defence.The row, he said, arose through his refusal to draw a load of wood for the victim.Berouard lay in an unconscious condition between life and death for some days.Lnngchamp was brought np before the Police Court aud was admitted to bail.which will be offered at prices up to now unknown to the public.1 SPECIAL JOB

Chromclk reporter at his hotel Dut night.Mr.Miller was sitting in the hotel olfi:e calmly smoking his pipe, and when asked what he had to say ab.ul the Gn enall affair, answered, \u201cWell, there is not much to say, for it was only au accident.The rumors of young Greenall having been ab .sed on the way out are absurd.'iThe boy who was hurt had never been sent up alolt as I considered him too small.Of course he and his companions had to work the same as the rest of the crew, hut were only given light work to do.The four stowaways, Greenall included, all gained in weight on the way out.The report that he had been ill-used was set afloat by some dissat sfied hand who had left the ship.The case will probably cloae today and the Capt tin, one of the seamen and myself will return to Chicoutimi.\" Tne boy leaves a widowed mother in Liverpool.Mr.Miller also informed our reporter that the boy\u2019s foot was only hanging on by a piece of fl»sb, and that at Father Point it was also found that his leg was fractured below the knee and hta hip was dislocated.The doctor at first had hopes of saving the limb.Mr.Miller is the Becoud Mate of whom all the talk was about and tie will probably bo heard at the inquest to-day.A Heavy Rain Storm.The rain storm which visited Quebec about noon yesterday was pretty nearly a record breaker or record maker, for the water oame down in sheets for close upon half an hour and gave some idea of what the Deluge must have been.In five minutes there were large streams of water in the streots and in lep, raging torrents poured down wherever thei waa any marked incline.In fact on many of the more hilly streets where several streams met there was a dashing rushing brook ex tending over the whole width of the roadway and varying from three or four to eight or ten inches in depth.In numbers of places it seemed as if a canoe might have floated easily and pavement planks swam down with the greatest ease.Two ladders lay in front of the Pust Office before the storm began and when it ended it was found that they had been swept over the Buade street steps to Moun tain Hill.Upou these and other steps tons of stones and earth were deposited by th water and at the foot of many of the hills piles of mingled atones and earth were heaped up.I\u2019ieces of road metal varying in s'z) from that of a man\u2019s fiat to acv eral pounds in weight were awept along by the torn-nta as if they bad been feathers and everywhere the indications of the fury of the storm were in full evidence.The thuuder and lightning which accompanied the rain were of a nature to terrify anyone of a timid disposition and in most residences and stores th.) darkness was so intense that artificial light had to be oalled in to allow of work being performed.Enquiries at the Qb?servatory elicit the faot that the rainfall for the half bonr was about .85 inches, an ex tremely heavy fall for such a brief apace of time.Two of the lightning receivers of the Quebec District Railway were destroyed by the electric fluid.The lightning receivers are placed on different poles with a disconnected wire along which the electric fluid runs, falling into the ground.In this way the lightning is prevented from going to the power house and causing a great deal of damage.The lightniog receiver ou the pole at the top of Scott street had the lop blown off and the wire was burned out.Lightning fell near a barn at Etchemi-i belonging to Dr of the Legis lative Assembly.A cow was struck and two of Mr.Larooque\u2019s children who were outside just succeeded in gaining the shelter of the barn in time to escape.A large ball ol fire fell on the road near the Cove Field SteM at Diamond Harbor.People who saw it fall say that on striking the ground it burst, spreading m different directions, the pieces being about the sjge qf an egg.la the Comman lant\u2019s Office at the Citadel there was very nearly being a tragedy.The elcotric fluid had struck a telegraph pole outside and partially shattered it.It ran along the wires into the office, emitting there a great blue flame, completely butning and twisting up the telegraph instruments, and giving a slight shock to both Col.Wilson and'Captain Thacker, who were iu the office at the time.A Great Spectacle The proposed reproduction of a portion of Her Majesty\u2019s Great Diamond Jubilee Procession in London, with ceremonies in front of St.Paul\u2019s Cat hetlral, sod immense tableaux* of incidents during the Queen\u2019s Reign, at- the Toronto Exhibition from the 30th t.f August' to 11th

front of their houses or bhops, structure\u2019, etc., projecting into or over tho streets.The law.Vic , ch.57, sec 33, sub-seC.7, of the year 1865, reads as follows : \u201cIt is strictly prohibited to have any gallery, window, pertico, staircase, sign, of other obstruction, extending or projecting from any house or building into or beyond tbe line of any street, road, lane or public place in the said c ty ; and the City Surveyor shall, without previous notice, cause any such to bè removed at the expense of the proprietor of sdeh house or building ; which said costs and chargea shall be recovered bv an action of debt by the said Corporation before the Recorder\u2019s Court.\u201d In spite of that law, constructions projecting into certain streets have been tolerated.But on account of certain difficulties recently raised concerning constructions of that description, I feel ob.igtd to enforce tbe law above quoted.In consequence, I give notice to and require all whom it may concern, to remove and suppress, without delay, any construction, obstruction, or thing whatsoever, projecting into or over streets in this city, including bay-windows, oriels, signs, barbers\u2019 posts, sunshade posts, door steps, galleries, etc., etc.CHAS.BAILLAIRGE, City Engineer.Juno 16, 1897 THE QUEBEC GAS COMPANY HAVE on Exhibition and for sale at their office, the celebrated Mc^lary
