O\u2019Connor, of Peterboro, will be the celebrant i of the mass.Mr.Connolly, Toronto, has designed a monument of white Carrara marble, ! which the Archbishop approved.It will be j erected iu St.James\u2019 memorial chapel, over : the tomb of the dead prelate.The selection ; of a successor to the late Archbishop Cleary : to rests in the hands of the Bishops of Ontario, bor to make room for the cruiser \u201cY izcaya,\u201d ; They will meet and select three names for which is expected here to-morrow or the next submission to the Pontifical authorities at day from the north.The news of all kinds here is mere routine at present, there being no excitement, and even rumors are less active than usual.Washington, D.C., Feb.25\u2014In view of the widely published report that the harbor of Havana contains a system of submarine mines, a statement around whioh haa center-edjthe chief public interest in connection with the disaster of the bittleship \u201cMaine,\u201d Senor Du Bose, Spanish Chargé D\u2019Affaires at Washington, to-night made to the Associated Press the following statement, which coming from snch authority may be considered as an official denial :\u2014\u201c1 wish to state in my own* official knowledge, that no mine exists inside or outside of Havana harbor, nor ia there auy submarine defence of any kind.The report is so absolutely false anj ridiculous lhat it could only have originated in the minds of those persons anxious to incite the evil passions of beth nations for their own miserable ends.I consider the very suggestion of such a thing an insult to Spain.'' In spite of etories that come from unofficial^ sources in Havana as to sensational developments in connection with the work of the divers in the \u201cMaine\u2019s\u201d hull, the Administration remains firm in its statement that there ia no credible evidence, one way or the other, as to the cause of the disaster, and holds to its purpose to await the conclusion of the investigation now making by the Court of la-quiry.GREECE\u2019S WAR INDEMNITY TO TURKEY.The Sultan Must Shortly Thessaly.Evacuate London, Feb.25\u2014In the House of Lords to-day, Lord Salisbury said that the negotiations for the Greek loan for the payment of the war indemnity to Turkey had been delayed because of the necessity of agreeing Lhat portions of the Greek revenue should be security for the loan.\u201cI believe,\u201d he added, \u201cthat the Anglo-Russo-French guarantee is now on the point of taking effect and hope for a speedy issue of the loan.When the loan ie annonnsed uud offered in the market, the Sultan\u2019s liability to evacuate Thessaly will begin.England has guaranteed the loan, but she has not guaranteed the execution of the treaty of peace.We have reason to believe that a state of things will be speedily reached wherein the Sultan will be under the obligation of evacuating Thessaly.I quite agree that that is a consummation devoutly to be wished, because the sufferings of those people in the interval must be perfectly terrible.\u201d Rome.It is possible, in view of Kingston See being the se&t of an Archbishop, that either Bishops O\u2019Connor, of Peterboro, or MacDonnell, of Alexandria, may be elevated and a new Bishop given the vacant Diocese.This, of course, is not always done, as in several cases in recent years new men have been placed in Atchiepiscopal chairs.PNEUMONIA.PROFESSOR BROWN\u2019S TREAT-MENT.FRANCES POLICY IN CHINA.Will Not Occupy a Naval Base.London, Feb.25\u2014In the House ot Commons the Parliamentary Secretary for the Foreign Office, Mr.Curzon, replying to Admiral Lord Charles Beresford as to whether France intendedto occupy Hrinan'as a naval base in the far East, similar to steps taken by Germany aud Russia, said that the French Government had intimated to the British Ambassador at Paris, Sir Edmund Monson, that it had not the least intention of imitating any such policy in China.COL.PIOQUART\u2019S PUNISHMENT

for the treatment of a disease supposed to be either pneumonia or pleurisy, which is at present creating great ravages in some parts of this country, has copied and forwarded to the Chroniclk the following description of the celebrated Professor Brown\u2019s methods, in the hope that their publication may prove a blessing to families who reside at a distance from a physician : \u2014 PNKUMONIA.This is conimonly called /erer.It is characterized by infi-tmtnation of the parenchyma or lexrure of the lungs.The patient is generally found lying on his back, complains of pain in his side, has more or less difficulty of brealhiug, a cough at first dry, but soou accompanied by bloody phlegm.As the disease becomes severe the phlegm becomes very tenacious, so that it will adhere to the spit-cup if turned upside down.Three characteristic stages are observed in this disease, viz., congestion, lici>a(izalwn ani softening.In the first stage the lungs be come engorged with blood or congested and if the lungs are p°rciiBse 1 a dull sound is elicited, and if the ears are applied to the chest, a minute crackling sound is heard, similar to lhat produced by rubbing fine hair between the fingers and thumb.It is only heard during inspiration and is caused by the air breaking up the mucous adhesions.The urine is scanty and high colored.In the second stag- the lungs become solid or hepa-tized, resembiiug the liver S ima writers call it red softening.The dullness becomes more distinct upon percussion and a whistling sound is heard if the ear is placed to the chest.The cough is morn or less dry, but the fever is aggravated.There is great prostration, restlessness, complete loss of appetite, constipation, a loaded brown tongue, and the respiration is hurried and imperfect.In the third stage the lung softens and becomes filled with matter, and portions of the lung are not to give way.The cavities may be detected by increased resonance at some parts by percussion, and the caveruous breathing auscultation.There is also a metallic tinkling heard and the sputum becomes more liquid, looking like prune* juice, and the general condition of the patient worse iu every respect.If the disease advances into this stage, recovery is not very probable.Pneumonia may be double or single, the right lung suffers, however, more frequently than the left.If jAenrisy is associated with it, it is called pleuro-pneumonia.When characterized by great debility and prostration, and is of a low type, it is called typhoid pneumonia.The pneumonia of children is called lobular, as it is generally confined to one or two lobes of the lung.Treatment.\u2014 Bleeding formerly was done in each case, and is again receiving attention by some physicians, but I deem it injudicious, as a general thing, though it may be of ' benefit in some\u2019phletoric cases.The treatment should be commenced with a mild catharic, and the fever should be controlled with veratrum.The

west of Sherbrooke list night.The train consisted of a first class, second class, express and baggage cars, four in ail.Conductor Poulin being iu charge.The car after leaving the track completely turned over twice before reaching the bottom of the embankment.It was fairly full of passengers at the time, all of whom sustained a severe shaking up, and some being seriously hurt.The train was delayed for about an hour at : the scene of the accident and the passengers : from the first class car were transferred to ! the other cars and brought to Sherbrooke.[ Doctors Smith, Worthington, Gandier, Aus-! tin and Farwell were soon on the spot attending to the more serious coses.As far as can be ascertained the following is a list of those who were most injured :\u2014 Mr.William Campbell, of Waterville, Que., slightly injured.Mrs.Craik, Waterville, Que., slightly hurt.Miss Mary McKechnie, of Sherbrooke, seriously iu lured, Arthur Dussault, Windsor Mills, badly cm about the

of the Scottish than of the English Universities.He had the honour of being Chan cellor of the McGill University in Canada, at the head of which was a man recognized, not only as a teacher, but as a scientific mac\u2014he referred to Sir William Dawson.They had also one, who had recently gone from Duudee, aud he could say that Principal Peterson was doing an admirable work thire.He could conscientiously say that McGill University was in many respects not behind any University in America, and was, perhaps, not far from being abreast of any in this country\u2014 (applause).Certainly it was so as far as applied science wasconcerned, and that was owing to the generosity of a Scotchman\u2014A.J.Macdonald.When Scotchmen went to Canada, they did not forget their home.Professor Sinclair had referred to what undoubtedly was a good work for Canada\u2014the Canadian (Pacific Railway.When it was completed , it was determined that it should have some remembrance of Aberdeen and the North of Scotland, and when the last spike was driven in, it was proclaimed \u201cCraigeilacliie,\u201d the old watchword of \u201cStand Fast.\u201d Canada was no longer a single colony, but an aggregation of eight colouies or provinces under the Dominion\u2014a nation in short, and a nation in as close relationship with the parent State as it was possible to be\u2014(applause).Blood was thicker than water, and the truth of that was exemplified in Canada\u2019s desire to enter into closer trade relationship with the British Empire than with other countries.They used to think it necessary to proclaim her loyalty, but now there was no such necessity, for there could be no question as to her loyalty to the Mother Country.He would heartily welcome all Scotchmen or Englishmen who went there.Canada had resources within herself, capable, when developed, of making her one of the richest countries in all the civilised world, and latterly her name had been before the world with her British Columbia, Western Outario, and the Yukon or Klon-dyke gold fields.Many Aberdeen men woold, no doubt, go out, and give a good account of themselves, for their oatmeal brioging-up would have fitted them for withstanding hardships to which others might succumb.All would not be successful, but amongst those who were woold be many who would return to Scotland, the country they loved so well\u2014(applause).Whilst they became good Canadians, they did not love their country one whit the less, if occasion required\u2014which he hoped would not be the case.There were those in Canada who, for the protection of the mother country and her interests, would not need to be asked to step forth ; they would come forward of themselves and show by their actions that they looked upon themselves as being Scotchmen and Englishmen in heart, equally with their brethren io the Old Conn-try\u2014(loud applause).He was glad that he should have paid his first visit to Manchester under such circumstances.Fifty years ago.he was within an ace of coming to Manchester to take up his lot with Cheeryble Brothers ; but Fate ordained it otherwise, and he had grown op with Canada to have a love for Canada, but at the same time to keep a deep and cherished affection for his country\u2014 Scotland\u2014(applause).SPEECH BY LORD AND MOUNT STRA THCONA ROYAL.Where to Put It.\u2014A\u2014I\u2019m thinking of dabbling a little in stocks.What\u2019s a good thing to put your money in?B\u2014Your inside picket.\u2014London Tit-Bits.(¦ From A berdeen Free Press.) Lord Strathcnna and Mount Royal, the High Commissioner of Canada, was the principal guest of the Aberdeen University Club of Manchester at their annual dinner, held in the Queen:s Hotel of that city last night.Dr.George Thomson, Oldham, presided ; and amongst those present were R^v.W, C.Russel), Uarwen ; Mr.Alfred Hopkinaon, Principal of Owens College, Manchester ; Mr.8 R.Piatt, High Sheriff of Lancashire ; Sir XV.H.Bailey; fir.W.J.Sinclair (Hon.Secreiary) ; Dr.J.Niven (Hon.Treasurer) ; Dr.Leach ; Dr.R ixiou, Blackpool ; Dr.Fiddes, Urmston ; Dr.Duffat, Liverpool ; Dr.Reid, Stafford ; Mr.W.Wilson, Salford; Dr.Milligan ; Dr.J.M.Rhodes ; Dr, J.Scott ; Dr.Cox, Eiinburgh.After the usual loyal toasts had been hor.« pared, Tht Chairman submitted the toast of \u201cThe University of Aberdeen.\u201d He said he was sure they would all join in the suggestion that the following telegram should be sent to one ot their old teachers, Sir John Struthers, Edinburgh, who had been honoured by Her Majesty during the past year\u2014\u201cAberdeen graduates at the annual dinner in the Queen\u2019s Rote), Manchester, send you hearty congratulations on your well-earned knighthood\u201d \u2014(loud applause).Compared with some of the other Universities, Aberdeen might be regarded as a somewhat small and unimportant University\u2014(\u201cNo, no\u2019\u2019).The Northern half of Scotland was the poorest half of that country, so far as \u201cbawbees\u201d were conctroed, and the Aberdeen University had played a very important part in the development of Scottish manhood in a way that permitted its educational advantages to be uiilizid by young men of very moderate means.Some young fellows he knew had lived ou very little more than oatmeal\u2014(laughter)\u2014during their University career.Like other Universities, that at Aberdeen was a civilizing influence for the benefit of the world, but no University sent out a larger proportion of her sons to other countries than Aberdeen.It fell to (he lot of few to advance the cause of civilization to such an extent as Lord Strathcona, and 1(1930 undergoing their educational careet at Aber^ deen could now be imbued by (he examples and traditions of the past, and could go out into the world rçsolyed to do something in their day and generation for the advancement of mankjnd\u2014(-inplause).Rev, W.C.Russell responded, remarking that their love for their University was as fresh as it was in the minds of their children.Their memories of Aberdeen would last as long as they lived, and when they spoke of themselves that night, they paid a tribute to their own youth aud a tribute to the Alma Mater who nourished them\u2014(applause).Dr.Sinclair, in proposing the health of Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, said that gentleman was a man who had al( h(a liie aud rest ; been associated with great commçtciàl enterprises.He had also ^ad 9,q Ris shoulders the weight of a great political torce, the chief part of which was that relating to this country and the interests of the great Dominion of Canada \u2014(applause ) He was one of the comparatively few men who hal made Canada what it was\u2014namely, one of the most pros-, perous of the colonies of Great Britain, *od probably one of the most loyal\u2014(appTavt&e.) During a time when soçae ihe leaders of the subjects of the Crown who figured in the recent jubilee celebrations, were flirting with ; the Uqi(ed plates, Lord Strathcona and his (rieuds were sturdily loyal to the Empire.Scotland went in for expansion, and amongst its greatest expansions had been that Greater Scotland which extended from Montreal to the city of Victoria, 00 the Pacific\u2014(ap-plaus.) Lord Strathcona, in responding, said he regarded it as a great honor to be the guest of the Aberdeen University Club.He went back in memory perhaps more than anyone present.He went back sixty and odd years, with knowledge of what the Aberdeen Universities did in those days.There were then the old King\u2019s and the newer \\larisohal Colleges.He had not the advantage of the teaching of the Aberdeen University, but he knew much with regard to many who had, and he belisvad (h.a1 ibey would say that to th?learning they there received they were yery largely indebted for their subsequent prosperity.- Mi\\ny of those who went to the Universiiy at Aberdeen io these days had very IRtlé of this world\u2019s wealth\u2014in fact, if they had £10 for th* whole session they were considered rich.They thus had to be particular about small things, and were admirably fitted to deal with (he greater things iu other parts of the world ; in whioh they might, in after life, find the|r spheres of action.Many Scotchmen had blessed tha day on which they went to the University of Aberdeen.It had been said that that University could not compute with the seats of learning at Edinburgh, Oxford, or Cambridge ; hut Aberdeen University had dine as much for its graduates and for humanity as any one of the other Universities\u2014(applause)\tIt began by teaching them frugality, and they felt lhat, in looking to their Alma Matir, they w«nt out into the world with a character to gain, but also one to preserve.They had long been important factors in the advancement of education and of commercial iuicrcste, and he would say that the Uni- AM03 R.ENO DEAD.HE WAS THE OWNER OF THE FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL AND LEFT A LARGE FORTUNE.Amos R.Eoo, owner of the Fifth Avenue Hotel property and one of the largest holders of real estate in this city, died at 11 o\u2019clock Monday morning at his home, 32 Fifth ave* nue.Until about a month ago Mr.Euo made his home at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where his son, Amos F.Eno, lived with him.He was in his eighty-eighth year, and his health had been poor for several years.About three years ago he had an attack of pneumonfk, and since then he had been failing steadily.His son Amos looked after hii large real estate interests, and he spent much of his time at his country house in the town where he was born, Simsbury, Conn.He was born on Nov.1, 1810.In company with his cousin, J.J.Phelps, father of the late William Walter Phelp», Mr.Euo came to this city in 1831.The two young mm brought with them all the earthly goods they owned tied up in a couple of bandana handkerchiefs.They had been clerks in country stores and they soon found employment in a similar capacity here.A few years later, having saved a little money, they formed a partnership and opened a dry goods jobbing house in Exchange place.They boarded in thoee days at 57 John street with David Hale, who had just started the Journal of Commerce.Although they had little money aud no friends to indorse paper for them, they soon made their house an impôt taut one.Then they dissolved partnership, and Euo became head of the house of Eno, Makoi y & Co., and Mr.Phelps the head 3f Phelp?, 1 Chittenden & Bliss.In 1850 Mr.Eno retired from the dry goods business with a fortune cf $500,000.He invested his money in real estate, and in 1857 began to build the Fifth Avenue Hotel.The site for the hotel was then so far uptown that his project wag called \u201cEao\u2019s folly,\u2019' and the hotel Qame sear causing his ruin before it w«te finished because of the financial pauiç of lhat time.He finally secured the assistance of Paran Stevens of Boston, who was then perhaps the most successful hotel keeper in the country and who furnished money to finish the house and took a lorg lease of it.After the hotel befan to pay Mr.Eoo bought the triangular piece of ground across from the Fifth Avenue Hotel, between Broadway and Fifth avenue and other properties in that neighborhood, aud the rapid growth in values brought him wealth.His fortune is estimated at betw^ou $10,000,000 and $15,000,000.Hoyt\u2019» IWtre is one of the buildings in that neighborhood which belongs to his estate.In 1897 the assessed value of 'nia real estate was $5,685,-000.The aqtaal value was, of course, much greater.In (835 Mr.Eno was married to his cousin, Lucy Phelps, of Simsbury, and she died about fourteen years ago.Mr.Eoo was a man of uuus ial intelligence and foresight.It is an interesting illustration (f the vigor of his mind lhat in his old age he took up.the study of Latin, French and Italian, and acquired a reading knowledge of all three without other assistance (ban his dictionaries.In the latter years of his life, before his eyesight failed, he was accustomed to spend many of his evenings translating Dante, Cæsar or Victor Hugo.Mr.Eno leaves six children.They are Amos F.Eoo, Dr.Henry C.Euo, ot 109 East Tweniy-first street ;

but February 12 is we believe, so observed in eight States, New York, Now Jersey, Connecticut Pennsylvania, Illinois, Minnesota, North Dakota and Washington.State holi days, however, are very numerous and varied iu character, and it quite a different matter to recognize them by national legislation.Some of them are purely local, like January 8, in Louisiana the anniversary of Jackson\u2019s victory at New Orleans; March 2, in Texas, the an niveraary of her independence, and April 21, that of San Jacinto ; April 19, in Massachusetts, for the battle of Lexington; May 20, in North Carolina, for the Mecklenburg Declaration ; July 24, in Utah, Pioneers\u2019 Day ; August Hi, in Vermont, for Bennington ; September 9, in California, for her admission to the Union.In Virginia, the two Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida January 19, Lee\u2019s birthday, is a holiday, while the two latter States honor \u2022 in like fashion June 3, the birthday of 1 Jefferson Davis.Even as to religious holidays there is a wide discrepancy among the States, Good Friday, for example, being observed as a public holiday in five, and All Saints\u2019 Day in only one.Labor Day is widely observed, yet n >t universally ; Arbor Day is a legal holiday in over a dozen States, but | there is a wide variety in the days selected.Decoration Day is May 30 in most of the Northern States, yet in the Southern States other days, and not the same iu all of them, are chosen for the Confederate Memorial | day.Congress has usually uonliued itself PERSONAL.The Hon.Mr.Duffy left last night for Montreal.We are sorry to hear of the indisposition of Major Imlah.Mr.Choquette, M.P., arrived from Ottawa yesterday mornirig.We are sorry to learn that Lady Meredith h still in a very weak condition.Hon.T.C.Casgrain ia expected here to-day bo plead before the Coart of Review.The Attorney-General, Hon.Mr.Archam bault, returned here yesterday morning.Hon.F.G.Marchand and Hon.Mr.Ar chambaull, left last night for Montreal by C.P.R.Geo.Prowse, Esq., of Montreal, arrived here last night and registered at the Chateau Frontenac.H.B.Ames, Esq., of Montreal, was here yesterday in connection with the Department of Public Instruction.Rev.E.I.Rexford, Rector of the Montreal High School, was in town yesterday and left last night for Montreal.The Hon.Judge VV.YV.Lynch, of Koowl ton, was here yesterday and received a warm welcome from many old friends.The marriage of Dr.Simard, jr., and Miss Marchand, which was announced some time ago, is fixed to come off on the 3rd May.Sir Adolphe Chapleau arrived in town last night, and will be the guest of the Hon.P.Gémeau, Haldimand street, for a few days.Principal Peterson, of McGill University, was here yesterday to attend the meeting of the Protestant Committee of the Council of Public Instruction.Amongst those who left by the C.P.R.out going train last night were Dr.Bazin, of Montreal, P.Valliere, John Ferguson, W.Sharpe, and Mr.and Mrs.Geo.Staton.Mr.McLaren, of Huntingdon, has been appointed by the Government to fill the vacancy on the Council of Public Instruction caused by the death of the late Dr.Cameron, M.P.P.Ignatius Donnelly, the apostle of the 3a conian authorship of the plays attributed to Shakespeare, is in Montreal the gnest of hia < ouiio, Mr.M.Donnelly.He was married in Minneapolis on Tuesday to his typewriter and they are on their honeymoon.Mr.Donnelly says that he will soon get out a new book explaining his theory at length.The death is annonneed of Lady Abbott, widow of the late Sir John J.Abbott, at one time Premier of Canada.L*dy Abbott passed away at one o\u2019clock yesterday, at the resi dence of her son, after a very short illness Her maiden name was Mary Bethune, daughter of the late Duan Bethune, of Montreal, and she was married to Sir John J.Abbott in 1849.The Dowager Lady Derby, Lord Salisburv s stepmother, it in such a feeble state of health that it has not been considered judicious to inform her of her son Lord Sack ville Cecil\u2019s death.She is devotedly nursed by her daughter, Lady Margaret Cecil, who has tho painful task of answering her mothet\u2019s questions about her brother who is gone as best she can.Lady Darby is seventy-four years of ago.___________________________ Men\u2019s Neckwear*- Now in Stock.Comprising the Latest Designs and Colorings, Latest Shapes and Styles, at popular prices, 15c., 25c., 50c.LATEST SPRING- NOVELTIES, IN MEN\u2019S COLORED SHIRTS, Are Now Being Sold at Economical Prices.ONE PRICE ONLY.Fenders, Andirons, Coal Vases.Table Kettles.TELEPHONE 2157.High-Class Cutlery Carvers and Scissors in Cases.F.Simard k tie., 137 St.Joseph St., St.Roeli\u2019s, Qnettee, February 23.1898.'\t** (A Wiio\u2019ll Melt the Ice ?very serious poem written for serious Chronicle ) Q lebec, old city of renown, From out whose gray walled battlements Great frowning guns look down Upon the real thing ;

On the 5th of December, 1893, when the first report of the Finance Committee upon the question of the Great Northern Railway was considered as an order of the day, that report required the Company to give security upon immoveable property situ tied within the city limits and free ffom all previous incumbrance*.An amendment was moved by Mr.C.Panet Angers, seconded by Mr.Amélés Rjbitaille :-\u201cTnat the report be amended by adding at the end thereof the words : \u201cor xuch other security to the natufaction of the Council.\" That amendment which was favourable to the Company was put to the vote, twenty-six (26) Aldermen being present besides His Worship Mayor Fiémon'.The vote gave a division of 13 for and 13 agaiost.His Worship the Mayor gave hia casting vole against the amendment which was declared lost and the report wae adopted as originally drafted without any modification.Or let us see the names of those who voted for the amendment.For :\u2014 Aldermen Foley, Kirouac, Leonard, Letellier, RobitatUe, and Councillors Augers, Boisvert, Chambers, Parent, Rancour, Staffird, Thi-biudeau, Vincent (13).Against Aldermen Bé'.and, Delille, Fiser, Gagnon, Hearn, and Councillors Bussieres, Dechene, Dussault, Gignac, Griffin, Colé, Paquet (13) Thus at the very first stage of this debate the present Mayor has given evidence of his good will towards the Company, by favoring the removal of an obligation which would have stood as a stumbling block to the enter prise, had it not been removed by a subse quent action of the Council.And in the presence of the attitude of the then Mayor, am safe in eaying that the present administration has done more for the Great Northern Railway than the late administratiou.And thus banished the accusation preferred against me of being inimical to that enterprise.Let us now examine and compare the two reports of the Finance Committee upon this question.The first report of the Finance Committee, dated the Ifith of November, 1893, which Mr.Garneau avoids carefully to mention, concluded as follows : \u201cThat to secure t e payment of those $256,000.00 of debentures at their maturity, hypothecary securities should be supplied to the oity of Quebec upon immoveable property situated in the limits of the city of Quebec and free from previous incumbrances.\u201d This report appears to have been adopted unanimously, eight members of the Committee being present, with the Hon.John Hearn, Chairman ; one of the shareholders, we are told, of the Great Northern Railway Cimpany for $10, 000.But the clever Chairman having to chose between his personal interest as shareholder in the Great Northern and his interests as a large property holder and as representing the property owners of the oity, exhibited his usual prudence, and when culled upon to adjudge the demand of the Great Northern Railway Company, took the safe side to guard the interests of the oity and insisted upon having mortgages as aforesaid.In Jannary, 1897, the same Committee, presided over by Alderman Tanguay, another of the shareholders of the Great Northern Railway Company, adopted a report recom mending to grant to the Company their request on condition that the Company shall clearly show that they will obtain from the Governments subsidies to build the remaining sections, and that the Company shall demonstrate that the loans of the city shall accomplish the completion of the line with its terminus at Quebec.Did not this report open wide the gates of the City Council to the promoters of the Great Northern Railway, and is it not evident that all that remained to be done by them iu order to obtain what they sought was to convince the Council by satisfactory statement of their position ?Is it the fault of the Council if the Company did not succeed in winning our adhesion, and in inducing m to adopt the conclusions of the rep >rt ?But no ; instead of endeavouring to conquer the goodwill of the Council it has been found preferable to attack the Mayor and Council in the newspapers, to the very eve of the general i lection,and whilst on the one hand a scandalous offer in the interest of the en terprise had been proffered to me, which I have denounced at the last meeting of the Council, an offer which has been made to me not several years ago, but since a few months, rumors were adroitly thrown in cir culation to the effect that I was being con trolled by the influence of the Canadian Pa cific Railway Company.Let us now enter into the financial aspect of the question.First I must state that it is to be regretted that the long letter of Mr.Garneau contains so little data which might enlighten the public as to the financial state of the Company and offer some justification for the persistent obstinacy with which they attempted to force the Council into that loan of $256,000.00.The only course left to me is to take the letter of the Company, dated November 21st, 1895, and to compare it with the paltry information contained in the letter of the 19th instant.Let me first consider the position of tho Company in 1895.In 1895, you said (hat there remained 90 miles of railway to be built, and that the amount subscribed and paid them by the shareholders was $99,500.You added that the subsidies were :\u2014 Of the Federal Government .$297,600 Of the Local Government.438,250 to the Company that this amonnt could easily be raised by selling the $1,488,000 of the Company, balance remaining on $2,000,000 of debentures authorized by the Legislature, of which $512,000 were to be given as security to the city.This is the real financial position of the Company according to the letter of the 21st of November, 1895.Now let us see the real actual position of the Company.I take your own figures.In your letter of the 19th instant You say that the amount of private capital subscribed in the enter-$ Great Dissolution SALE \u2022\t-A *\ts»> Electro Plated Ware Spoons, Cruets, Jelly Servers, etc, etc.SLEIGHS.SKATES.HOCKEY SUPPLIES.prise is.In 1895 it was only.300 000 99,500 Then you have received an additional sum of.Yon say that the subsidies voted by the two Governments amount to.$1,022,000 In 1895 they amounted only to.735,850 $ 260,500 To Divide Estate.CH I N IC\u2019S BRANCH STORE HAJLiF-PRICE- 28 Fabrique Street TELEPHONE 702.SUBSTANTIAL REDUCriOXS IN Then yon have received additional subsidies for.\t$ 286,150 Say in private capital and\t! subsidies\t\t\t546,650 Add to this (taking the information as supplied by yonraelves) bonne from the town of Jolictte\t\t$\t40,000 Bonne from the town of Hawkesbury\t\t10,000 Bonne from St.Elizabeth\t6,000 Celebrated Sheetings.Belfast Damasks.Crashes, Towels, Napkins, White Cottons, Embroideries, Etc.Everything Reduced.PROVINCE OF QUEBEC.DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND FISHERIES.WOODS AND FORÏST8.Quebec, 5th February, 1898.Notice is hereby given that.conformably to sections 1334, 1335 and $ 602,650 to be deducted from the $897,750 balance required to complete the 90 miles of road, thus leaving to be found only the earn of $\u2022295,100 which could be raised by means of the debentures which the Company ia authorised to issoe to $2,000,000.and yet it ia of pnbiic notoriety that quite recently you have applied to the Local Government for subsidies to the amount of $346,000.In 1895, you asserted that if the tiity would To facilitate the closing of the affairs of the partnership onr valuable Stock is offered much below regular prices.The redactions are on all classes of goods.j In the following Hat onr regular prices are given and also the rediieed.Lacés\u2014Oar centre tables of Laoes are in loHu, you assertea tnai h wie ciry wouiu \u2022 ^ half-_pric Death\u2014South A merle in Nervine Is Hope and Health In all Such Cases.Mr.C.J.Curtis, of Sandwich West, Got., testifies : \u201cI had a very severe attack of La Gripp»-, which loft me very weak ;
