COMMISSION ADJOURNED.Work Already Accomplished.The British-American Joint High Commission sat yesterday for two hours only and adjourned to the 20tn instant.It had been expected that before separating for the adjournment, the Commission would have au-thoriEed some statement of the progress so far made by it in its work.Neither the Chairman, Lord Herschell, Senator Fairbanks, leader of the American delegates, or either of the Secretaries had anything to communicate however.There are some minor matters upon which the Commissioners would have no difficulty in agreeing if they stood alone, and upon which the principal lines of a tentative settlement have been laid down.But the trade question persists in looming up in connection with almost all of them, and if any settlement of this is insisted on as essential to the drafting of a new treaty, it still appears absolutely certain that the work of the Commission must come to naught.Sir Wilfrid Laurier will not entertain the idea of withdrawing the British preference, and the American Commissioners have no idea of favoring the extension of reciprocity with Canada, while she casts her favors in an opposite direction.The matters so far dU* cussed have been the alien labor laws, the Behring Sea seal fisheries, the Atlantic inshore fisheries, the Alaska boundary dispute and the bonding privilege.The nearest approach to a positive agreement has been reached in the matter of THE ALIEN LABOR LAWS.The American Commissioners are said to be ready to consent that the United States alien law shall not operate on the Canadian frontier, providing Canada passes and enforces laws excluding identically the same classes of immigration as the United States do.Canada will gladly do this.The abrogation of the Rush-Bagot Convention will probably be acceded to as far as Canada is concerned.The other matters discussed have all been hold over for reconsideration.THE ALASKA BOUNDARY DISPUTE is understood to divide the Commission as much as ever.The abrogation of the bonding privileges enjoyed in the United States by Canadian railways is not insisted upon by all the Commissioners from the United States.The inshore fishery question is far from set* dement.Not only is very little importance attached by the American Commissioners to the use of the Canadian fishing grounds by Americans, and very much to the value of the American markets for fish, but Sir James Winter, on the part of Newfoundland, wants to step in and have authority to negotiate a direct treaty with the United States irres-pective of Canada, protesting against bis Colony being commercially ostracised by the Uoited States, because of Canada\u2019s action in extending preferential trade to Britain.THE BEHRINO SEA MATTER bids fair to be settled if the question of indemnity can be arranged.It will oost about $740,000 to buy cff the Canadian pelagic sealers, which amount represents the actual capital they have invested in their undertaking.It is argued ihat it would pay the United Slates to spent this sum because of the return it would yield in the increased seal life upon the property of the Republic.The Dominion Government would rid itself of a harrasaiug subject by paying the indemnity itself, bat is un* likely to do so unless sure of some equivalent therefor.If Canada makes any agreement on this head, she would enforce it, or have the British Government do so by enactiog a closè time for seals for 20 years, or whatever period may be agreed «fo1, in Canadian waters, and by declaring pelagic Mealing in the Pacific illegal to British subjects for the same period.Finance Committee.THE TALK OF THE TOWN, City and District Gossip in Brief.Montréal A steamer will leave Quebec for to-morrow at 3 p.m.Remember \u201cThe Maine\u201d ! ! !

disposition are kindly remembered byall who are acquainted with them.The Catholic Register thus refers to Mrs.Ward :\u2014 \u201cMemories of the Oxford movement are stirred by the death of Mrs.Ward, wife of the late William George Ward, who was known as 'Ideal* Ward in the days of the secessions from the Anglican Church in 1845.In that year Mr., and Mrs.Ward were married, and both j3ined the Catholic Church a few months later.This was after the famons scene in the Sbeldonian Theatre, Oxford, when Mr.Ward was deprivad of his degrees in consequence of the views contained in his work.*The Ideal of a Christian Church.\u2019 Mrs.Ward waa the mother of Monsignor Ward, President of St.Edmond\u2019s College, \\V are, and a domestic prelate of the Vatican.One of her daughters is Prioress of

of sixty-nine years.The late Mr.Joii-cosur was at one time Asuisiaut Provincial Secretary.The deceased gentleman had also been President of the Institut Canadien of this city, and was formerly associated as advocate, with Sir Narcisse Belleau.The late Mr.Jolicaur was much esteemed by the large number of friends and acquaintances with whom he was brought into contact.The Chronicle extends its sympathy to bereaved family.Exhibition Notes.tho Visit to Laval University.The ladies accompanying the delegates of the International Conference here, visited the Seminary and the Laval University yesterday morning, accompanied by Messrs.L.J.Demers, of L'Evenmeut, and Mr.Newton, of the American Associated Press.Mgr.Laflamme, Rector of Laval Uoiversity, and the Revd.Abbé Mathieu, Rector of the Quebec Samiuary, asked the Revd.Abbé S.A If.Lortie to take the visitors through the University, and especially into the museum, the fine art gallery and the library.The visitors paused for a moment iu the lower, where they viewed the splendid panorama which is to be seen from it.The Revd.Abbe Lortie then conducted the visitors into the Chapel of Mgr.de Laval, where the various object* were reverently viewed, includiog the vestments of the first Bishop of Canals.The visitors were delighted with what they saw and took souvenirs with them, to remind them of their first visit to the former French Colony of America.After the sight-seeing the visitors returned to the Chateau for lunch.Tbe Crops at Lake St.Jobn.The crops io tbe Lake St.John valley this year are somethiog phenomenal.Mr.Girard, M.P.P., who was io town a few days ago, says that the wheat is nearly all cut and stored, and other grains are being reaped.The hay crop this year was immense and is being pressed for export.The farmers are all very jubilant at the good prospects and are going to make a big show at the Provincial Exhibition at Quebec as well as at the District Exhibition at Chicoutimi.The Lake St.John Railway Company intend to carry exhibit* to both Exhibitions free of charge, which, of course, encourages the farmers very much.Emergency Meeting of tbe W.O.T.U.The regular

greater degree than almost any other member of the animal world.And he is not only gregarious in the sense of dwelling with others in more or less large communities, but these communities are frequently swayed in the most unintelligible manner in one common di ection, which may he as much opposed to sober sense and sound reason as is the action of a flock of sheep, which, if the leader should take a high jump over a small stone, imitate his example until the last sheep in that flock has taken that unnecessary jump.But it is in connection with money tbvt this propeusity of the human race to imitate and follow others, regardless of all logic and common-iense, is most prominently displayed.In the time of William III , a sum equal to half the cash known to be held in the Kingdom of Sootland was subscribed by vast numbers of that ordinarily astute, far-seeing, and gifted race, for the promotion of a visionary Colonial scheme, which soon irretrievably collapsed, utterly ruining in its fall thousands of indiscreet and incautious families who had sunk their all in tbe foolish venture.The \u201cSouth Sea Bubble,\u201d however, presents perhaps the most astounding example in all history of this strange peculiarity of the human race.Companies were formed in rapid succession for all manner of abturd and unattainable objects.One company was floated, the purpose of which was no less than to pay off tbe National Debt.The prospectus of another, the shares of which, doubtless, like all the others, went to a tre-meodous premium, atated that the object cf the company would be announced as tcou as practicable ! All classes, from the Prince to the peasant, rushed in a frenzy of wild excitement to buy shares of the most ludicroui-ly worthier» and grotesquely extravagant character, impoverishing themselves and their families in their vehement and fiery madness, and furious haste to acquire the colossal wealth which was promised them by the wily and unscrupulous promoters, and investing every penny they possessed in the purchase, at heavy premiums, of these worthless securities.Up and up go the premiums.South Sea Stock has touched 1,000, and all the rubbish on the market is rising by leaps and bounds.Every day brings fresh buyers, the more wary and astute, who had hitherto kept aloof from the madness, now plunging in with all the ardour of the most reckless.But at last comes the inevitable crash\u2014appalling and tremendous.Stocks which the day before commanded huge premiums are now absolutely unsaleable.A wild and uncontrollable mob, exasperated at their losses, furiously endeavor to batter down th* dosed doors of the brokers and dealers.W idows stand at a distance helplessly weeping in the contemplation of their impending ruin ;
