Titre :
Quebec morning chronicle
Sous un titre qui a varié (Morning Chronicle, Quebec Morning Chronicle, Quebec Chronicle), un journal de langue anglaise publié à Québec qui met notamment l'accent sur l'actualité commerciale et maritime. [...]
Fondé en 1847 par Robert Middleton et Charles Saint-Michel, ce journal est d'abord connu sous le nom de Morning Chronicle. Son programme éditorial est tourné vers les intérêts britanniques, ce qui plaît aux conservateurs et aux impérialistes. Toutefois, cela n'en fait pas une publication politique pour autant puisque l'on y évite les longs éditoriaux et les sujets polémiques, probablement pour se différencier du Quebec Gazette, ancien employeur de Middleton et féroce concurrent. Le contenu est plutôt centré sur l'actualité (majoritairement en provenance d'autres journaux anglais et américains), sur la vie commerciale et maritime, ainsi que sur la littérature (peu présente pendant les premières années). La ligne éditoriale du journal est définie comme suit : « [.] in the management of The Morning Chronicle we shall, therefore, begin by simply declaring, that, as we glory in our connexion with the British Empire, it will be our undeviating aim and unremitting endeavour, to create and foster a cordial attachment to those time-honoured institutions which have made her so illustrious in the annals of the world ». (May 18, 1847, p. 2)

[Traduction]
« [...] la direction de The Morning Chronicle, par conséquent, débute en déclarant simplement que, comme nous sommes très fiers de notre relation avec l'Empire Britannique, notre but sera sans détour de créer et d'entretenir un attachement aux honorables institutions britanniques, qui se sont grandement illustrées à travers l'histoire mondiale ». Sous Charles Saint-Michel (1849-1860), le journal devient le porte-parole des aspirations de la bourgeoisie commerciale anglaise et les sujets politiques prennent une part plus importante. L'esprit protectionniste, rattaché au torysme, teinte la rédaction. Durant la période de la Confédération, le Morning est utilisé comme tribune pour faire la promotion des idées de John A. Macdonald. Toutefois, l'attrait premier du journal reste avant tout la vie relative au commerce. En 1874, une fusion avec The Quebec Gazette met fin à une concurrence jugée ruineuse. Fondé en juin 1764, c'est l'un des plus vieux journaux d'Amérique du Nord. Une nouvelle entente survient en 1924. Pour mettre fin à une concurrence qui les affaiblit, le journal alors connu sous le nom de Quebec Chronicle and Quebec Gazette et le Quebec Daily Telegraph (fondé en 1875 par James Carrel, il défend les idées populaires et est reconnu comme étant libéral) s'associent et deviennent le Chronicle Telegraph. Les nouvelles prennent une place prépondérante dans les colonnes de la « nouvelle » publication. À partir de 1934, le journal est connu sous le nom The Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph. Il paraît toujours aujourd'hui. Voici les différents titres que le Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph a connus depuis ses débuts : Disponibles en ligne : The Morning Chronicle (Jan. 1847 - Nov. 1850) The Morning Chronicle and Commercial and Shipping, 1850-1888 The Morning Chronicle (Feb. 1888 - May 1888) The Quebec Morning Chronicle, 1888-1898 The Quebec Chronicle, 1898-1924 Non disponible en ligne : The Chronicle Telegraph (1925-1934) The Québec Chronicle-Telegraph (1934 à ce jour)

of the week are recurring; Heavy hail, snow and rain storms accompanied the gales.The Dover and Calais Channel service is temporarily suspended and several vessels are reported wrecked on the Goodwin Sands.The number of wrecks on the Norfolk Coast and the fury oi the storm on the British seaboard are unexan pled.Lifeboat* Have been sent out from all the stations; The Margate volunteer lifeboat has been capsized off Nayland Dock, with the result that ten of the fourteen men composing her crew have been drowned The lifeboat, when the accident occurred,\" was oh her way to rescue the crew of a large vrssel, supposed to be the \u201cPersian Empire.\u201d The lifeboat was about two miles off when she was overturned.Heavy snowstorms have prevailed in several parts of France.THE GERMAN-CHINESE SITUATION.A special from Shanghai announces that the Emperor of China has declared that he would rather forfeit his Crown than agree to the condition demanded by Germany as redress for tho murder of the two German missionaries, Nies and Hennle, and the destruction of German mission property in the Province of Shang Tung.Admiral Diedrich, the German commander of the Kiao Chau B»y, the despatch further states, has proclaimed martial Uw in the district around Kiao Chau.China, the despatch concludes, desire* that her dispute with Germany be submitted to arbitrators appointed by Hoilandand Belgium.It is reported here, in well-informed circles, that the views of the Russian Government have undergone a change as to the situation at Kiao Chan B»y.Seeing the large force that Germany is assembling there, Russia is inclined with France to oppose German action.A special despatch from Shanghai says that nine men have been arrested for assisting in the murder of Germany's missionaries.It ia currently reported that France, Germany and Russia have entered into a compact for tire acquisition of Chinese territory, Germany taking Sharg Tung, Russia taking Corea, and Frsnce taking Fokien and Formosa, The movements of the British and Japanese fleets are supposed to indicate suspicion aa to the conduct of the other Powers.Japan object* to a German occupation of Kiao Chau until China has paid the war indemnity.THE FRENCH CABINET CRISIS.Paris, Dec.2\u2014M.Darlan, in spile of the request of hi* colleagues, has persisted in resigning the portfolio of Minister of Justice, and in consequence the President has now accepted his resignation.M.Meline, the Premier, will take the portfolio of Minister of Justice ad inltnm.THE GERMAN OCCUPATION OF KIAO CHOU.Berlin, Dec.2\u2014AM sorts of wild rumors are current here and at Kiel, probably based in the main upon the speech of Emperor William at the opening of the lleichatHg, as to the relatione between Germany and China, but moat of these are discredited.The National Zeituny has confirmed the statement of the Emperor that Germany\u2019s only object in the occupatiou at Kiao Chou is to protect German missionaries in China and the alarmists\u2019 stories arc now taken with a liberal allowance of salt.A sensation was caused tc-day by a report that the Chinese had massacred 200 German sailors behmging to the German ciuiser division in Kia«» Chou Bay, but there has been no confirmation of this, while the latest despatches from Admiral Von Diedrich, commander of the division, which were dated the afternoon of November 28, make no reference to fighting at Kiao Chon.The Berliner Tayblatt is responsible for the statement that two additional cruisers are going to Kiao Chou, bringing the force there to ten ships with 4.000 men and 140 guns.The same j uroul says also that a force of marines including the crew of the Imperial yacht \u201cHohenzollern,\u201d is going to Kiao Chou, but there is no official confirmation of these assenions, although they are held to indicate that a permanent occupation is intended, especially as it is understood that China does not insist upon evacuation.ANTI-GERMAN RIOTS IN PRAGUE.Prague, Dec.2\u2014The political situation in Austria-Hungary has caused rioting here.The trouble began Tuesday evening, when the windows of the German theatre, schools, restaurants, residences, and newspaper offices were broken.The troops eventually cleared the streets.Many people were injured and a number of arrests were made.The rioting was resumed Wednesday morning and grew worse at the day progressed.Tho Synagogue windows were smashed and the windows of the houses of Jews dieplaying German trade signs in several streets of the Jewish quarter.From six o\u2019clock in the evening the streets 12 00 Ligbmlng Ex-(press to the West.7.0t> Mail tr the Wert.8.C0 Express f rom Boston, Portland and West.P.M.were held hy twClte battalions of infantry and a squadron of hussars.All traffiç was stopped and the shops and business Hoüsfc.ï closed.In spite of the m litary a large Czech mob made a descent during the even In* cn the German quarter and plundei e 1 houses find shops in aeveral streets Fne furniture of a well'known German café was piled up in the street arid eel on fire» Vt hen a detachment of soldiers approached to dit; peree the rioters the soldiers were greeted with slhowers of stones, broken glass and other minailee.The officer in command ordered his men to make ready to fn;e, bu-, at the orgent request of a police o*ioUl the order was not carried into effect.Shortly after nine o\u2019clock a mob attacked a cartridge factory at Zizkhow, a suburb of Prague, on the other side of the Moldan.The troops stationed at the factory fired a volley into tile Cfowrd; It is known that at least two pereoas were kyi*!^ outright and it is feared that othera \u2022 wére Billed .Oh Wounded.The same body of rioters set (fre t6 à hou^e at Zizxhow but the flames were soon (/Uetioh-ed.In varions other portions of the city .ana the suburbs windows were smashed and German sign boards demolished.It is said that the mob w*s incite 1 by articles in the Czech newspapers and by a LLe report that the German students had organized an attack on theCsech National Theatre.At a late hour the threatening crowds made repeated rushes and attempts to storm the German newspapers, but by eleven o\u2019clock the town was quieter and the soldiers withdrew, except patrols at threatened points.In Smichow, i the northwest suburb .«f Prague, and a thickly populated Industrial quarter, at a latehour in the efreniug a riotous mob attacked and plundered the German National School.The rioters lired shots at, tho police detachment which arrived on the scene to disperse the mob, whereupon the commanding officer, acting with great promptitude* drew his revolver and Ured atone, of the ringleaders, the bullet piercing his arm» He then arrested the man, and the result of this energetic action was the dispersal of the mob wiihoilt much further difficulty.The German gymnasium in the Alsstaedter-Riog in the centre of the city, was plundered by a mob, which was finally dispersed by a combined charge of soldiers and police.It has b»en dangerous for Germans to venture into the street, as sny use of the German language meet* certain assault.A meeting of the German Society In honor of the eightieth birthday of Professor ïheodore .Momoseen was prohibited by the authorities, who feared it might end In a collision with the Czechs.Yesterday\u2019s riots woald have been less serious but that the troops available early in the day were insufficient to cope with rioting* over so extended an atea As a txsult of the riots and disorders of the last twenty-four hours the authorities have pro claimed the city under martial law.The Chief of Police, who is a Céech, was discover ed encouraging the rioters and has been suspended from office.It is now known that the number of injured Germans reaches 3,(Hl0.They are being cared for at the various hospitals.The distut bances yesterday amounted almost to a rebellion.Thousands of Czechish miners streamed into Prague last night from the surrounding ct untry to assist the rioters.The scientific instruments in the German University and High School were destroyed and valuable archiv's preserved for a long time at tho Kinsky Palace, tho largest in the A 1st ad t, were burned.Two special sufferers from the riots arc Baron \\ ou Achrenthal, a representative of the German landowners in the Rcischrath,and Count V on Salm.Baron Von Aohrenthal\u2019s Palace is on the Wenzels PUtz.The mob smashed tho windows and tore ont the window fia nes on the ground floor on Tuesday night.Sini'Jar outrages were committed at Count V on Salm\u2019s Palace, which is the editorial office of the German paper Bohemia.During the night the Achrenthal Palace was bearded up, but the rioters soon removed the planks and threw large stones Into the luxuriously furnished rooms, smashing valuable objects of art and costly furniture.Damaga to the amount of many thousands of florins h is been done to German firms, clubs and other institutions having German proprietors or patrons.No performance was given at the German Theatre last night.The constant cry of the rioters was : \u201cDjwo with the Germans !\u201d \u201cDown with the Jews.\u201d Ladies venturing on the street were obliged to wear the Slav tri-color in order to avoid attack.German signboards are being hastily removed bv thiir owners and replaced with Czech inscriptions.Nobody dares to utter a word in German.The Kinsky Palace was plundered of its furniture, which was thrown through the windows, heaped in the street and set on fire, the inob hindering the fire brigade from approaching.Tho Wenzels I\u2019la'.z, where^the revolution oi 1848 began, har been the chief centre of excitement.It is about sixty yards in width and 750 yards iu length ami will hold 100,000 people.THE NEW AUSTRIAN CABINET.Vienna Dec.2\u2014The prospects for the new Ministry are ominous.The assignment of portfolios haï beea received on all aides with frigid reserve audalthough the dismissal of Count Baden! has allayed the spirit of rebellion iu Vienna and the German towns, anarchy has broken out in the Slav and Czech towns and provinces.It looks as if Baron Gautch would have as great difficulties to face in the demanda of the Czsohs and Social ista as Count Badeni had.Seeing the success that mob influence has had in V ienua in bringing about the downfall of ( ount Baden\u2019, the Czechs are trying by the same influence to bring pressure to bear on the new Cabinet.The Parliamentary situation is unchanged and hopeless.Baron Gautch has conferred with \u2018he leaders of the majority and the leaders < f the minority, but so far both parties appear irréconciliable.DESPATCHES.Tito Poirier Murder Case.A Verdict of Wilful Murder /.gainst the Accused* A
