TYNDALL'S TERRIBLE TALENT FOR TAUNTING, Anticipation of a Greatly Decreased Conservative Majority.\u2014\u2014 A ROYAL \u201cGLOBE TROTTER.\u201d The Duke of Connaught Through Canada.Loxpox, March 9.\u2014The Dake of Con- naught, Commander-in-Chief of the British forces in India, starts from Bombay on Thursday for the tour of the world.He will visit China, Japan, and therce proceed to Vancouver and Quebec and to England.In a speech at a banquet in honor of the event, the Dake deplored the utier inadequacy of the defences of Bombay, and intimated that he would urçe this question upon the attention of the hcme authorities.Coming \u2014 TYNDALL'S ESTIMATE OF THE 6.0.XM.\u2018*A Ubiquitous Blast Farnace of fi dition,\u201d Loxpox, March 9 \u2014Recertly in one of his periodical tirades against Mr.Gladstone, Prof.Tyndall asserted that the ex-Fremier had gone so far as to characterize \u201c Pitt\u201d as a blackguard.Mr.Gladstone, who is not accustomed to notice tirades of ths Tynda'l ve- riety, paid that gentleman the compliment of demanding his authority for the statement, whereupon Tyndall has seized the opportunity to indulge in another burst of gratuitous vituperation.Though his reply to a simple question might have been made in a dozen lines, Tyndall has inflicted upon Mr.Gladstore and the public a long and viciously parased letter reviewing Mr.Gladstone\u2019s spaeches, whera- in he attempts to show that the latter has reviled Pitt's polities upon repeated occasions.Concluding, Tyndall says :\u2014 \u201cYou waited until you were seventy-six yeara of age to study the Irish question and suddenly blazed forth as an ubiquitous blest furnace of sedition\u201d Mr.Gladstone acknowledged this with a b.ief, but sarcastic expression of his \u2018hanks for the information requested end the controversy, if it may be so dignified, is ended ; much, it is assumed, to the disgust of Tyndall.ee A LESSENING MAJORITY.Conservaiivezs Kick Against the Repor.Loxpon, March 9\u2014At the Cabinet Council, which was held yesterday, Mr, W.D.Smish urged his colleagues to accept the amendment to his own motion, of which notice of intrcduction was given by Mr.Jenning\u2019s in the House of Commons last night.After a brief discussion the Cabinet rejected Mr.Smith's proposition, and resolved to stand upon its own idea of tre coastruce.tion which should be placed upon the commission\u2019s report by the Ministry.Meanwhile the Government organs are earnestly appealing to Lord Randolph Churchill and Mr.Jennings to withdraw the amendment, making ro concealment of their fears as to the effect of Lord Randolph's spzech in support thereof.Even now moderata Conservatives express the beliefthat the Government majority on the motion will not exceed fifty, while many of the Liberal politicians, who have pretty thoroughly canvessed the situation, are convinced that it will not exceed forty.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 DEATH OF EX-SULTAN MURAD.A Romance of the Turkish Throne.Beruix, March 9.\u2014The Berlin Tage- blaite prints a special despatch from Constantinople, reporting the death of ex- Sultan Murad, who succeeded his uncle, Sultan Abdul-Aziz, on May 29th, 1876, and was derosed in favor of his brother, the present Sultan, on August 31st of the same year.Murad was educated outside the harem, and in addition to the unusual attainments he thus acquired, he imbibed à dispcsition to instituts retorms entire- 17 at variance with the moslem policy and traditions.This peculiar tendency soon attracted the attention of the Sheikh ul Islam, who caused it to be understood, true or not, that the commander of the faithful was insane, the exhibition of a desire to introduce reforms being most convincing evidence, to the mind of a Turk, of the insanity of the would be reformer.Murad was accordingly deposed after a reign of three months and has since, it is alleged, been confined in a palace, though as nobody ever afterward laid eyes on bim, it is widely believed that his death occurred almost immediately after his detbronement.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 BRITISH LIBERALS JUBILANT.Signs of the Decline of Tory Rule.LoxpoN, March 9.\u2014The Liberals were never so jubilant as now, and never was the work of organization carried on so enthusiastically in their ranks.The results of the recent bye elections have made it certain that the Conservatives have lost their majority in the country and that a3 soon as an appeal to the people can be had the Gladstonians will win Rumors are egain current that Parliament will be dissolved im mediately after the psssage of the budget.The Tories seem to have anchored their hopes on the Budget, hoping by some finaunciering skill to regain the confidence which their policy in other directions has lost them.it is, however, a forlorn hope.Club gossip bas it that Mr.Akers-Donglass, the Tory whip, resigned because of last night's counting of the House, which the Government intends to explain as the result of a Libera! plot.The uo- precedented occurrence of such an important debate, ending in such a manner is, however, too significant to be explained on this bypothesis, and the public will not be deceived.The fact is that the Government has made such a mess of the Parnell commission matter that even its own supporters, though loyal enough to vote for the ministry, will not talk for them, nor countenance the further discussion of the question at issue.Em STRIKING AWE INTO THE (ZAK.The Mass Meeting in Hyde Park.Loxpox, March 9.\u2014The mass meeting in Hyde Park to-day, under the auspices of the various labor orzanizations, to protest against the treatment by the Russian Government of political prisoners, was not so largely attended ag had been ex- rected.There wera about 2,000 people present, mostly Radicals and Socialiste.John Burns was the principal speaker.He delivered an \u2018cloquent and impassioned address denouncing the outrages upon Siberian exiles and cali- ing upon the British Government to use its influence to induce Ruesia to adopt a more humane policy.Several other Radicals and labor leaders spoke, but Mr.Davitt, Mr.Besant and other prominent persons who were announced to speak did not appear.=\u2014 CABLE BREVITIES.Paris, March 9.\u2014The Customs Committee of the Chamber of Deputies has voted to impose a duty on foreign cora and corn flour.The duty on corn will be three francs, and on cora flour five francs.LiverrooL, March 9.\u2014The strike is growing worse.The coal-heavers are now out, and it is feared

the parishes of that diocese, where painful evictions have been in progress, $5,000, subscribed for the Tenants Defence League by the people of Donegal.Loxpox, March 9.\u2014John Burns again denies the allegation that the labor movements organized or aided by him bave an anti-Jewish tendency.LoxpoN, March 9.\u2014A A Bible printed in au Indian language at Cambridge, Mass., in 1661, was among the rare books in the collection just sold at auction here, and fetched $510.Moyement for a Labor Boycott.Loxvox, March 9.\u2014A strong movement has been started among the workingmen of the Fast End with the object of ridding themselves cf competition with Jewish labor by the use ofthe boycott and other devices common with labor uniors.It is asserted by the leaders of this movement that the present starvation standard of wages is almost wholly due to the gradual absorption of the best work by Jewish workers because of the low rates they are willing to accept.ce.Luffalo Bill Hissed by Italinus.Rong, March 9.\u2014\"Buffalo Bill,\u201d during his exhibition on the Compagna yeater- day, offered a sum of money to any outsider who should succeed in riding a cer tain horse.Some peasants succeeded in riding the animal, but payment was refused ou the ground that they had not mounted within the required time.The audience were indignant and roundly hissed the managers.\u2014\u2014 The French Elections.Paris, March 9.\u2014The supplementary elections to-day resulted as follows: In the first district of Toulouse, Leygue, Radical Socialist, received 5,292 votes, and Susini, Conservatiye, 3255.In the second district Calvinhac, an unseated Radical Socialist, 4,396 votes; Labat, Conservative, §,124, and Hirwen, Oppor- tuniet, 4,068.Re ballots will be neces.in both districts.Moreau, an unseated deputy from Gien, was re-elected, receiving 7,633 votes to 7,224 for M, Portalis.British Naval Estimates.LoxpoN,March 9.\u2014The naval estimates to be submitted by the Government amount to £14,509,000, which is an increase of £101,000 over the estimates of the preceding year.Among the improre- ments, alterations and additions contemplated by the Admiralty it has been decided to add to the active strength of the pavy 3,395 men, many of whom, it is understood, have already been enlisted.\u2014\u2014y Dedicating the Imperial Mausoleum.BERLIN, March 6&\u2014The

Appeal to the Generosity of More Favored States.ARMED RESISTANCE T0 À SHERIFFP'S POSSE.A Tight for Hostetter's Manv Millions of Dollars, A RED CROSS PROCLAMATION.Sufferings and Destitation in Dakota.WaAsHINGTON, March 9.\u2014An appeal from the President of the National Association of the Rad Crog3 says: \u2014* Yor many weeks past the Red Cross has been in receipt of letters of appzal and stataments in regard to suffering and destitution existing among the pioneers of North and South Dakota.Thes: appeals have come t> us from trustad co-workers and thess wno speak, by rule, 27 authority on sul matters.At lest they became go urgent as to be no longer ignored.Liviog here at the National Capital it was decided to call upon the Sepators aud representatives of Congress from these new-born States of ours.As one result of the interviews then bed, Senator R.L.Cossidy, of North Dakota, wroie to Governor Jno.Miller informing him of the inquiries of tha Red Cross, under date of Bismarck, Feb.U0.Governor Miller wrots thanking the Red Cress for the kindly interest evinced end stating that he had referred the matter to Hor.H.IT.Helgersen, state commissioner of agriculture and labor INSTRUCTIONS TO GIVE ALL PARTICULARS as to the wants of their psople.Under dats of Grand Forks, Feb.21, Commissioner Helgersen wrote in part as follows : \u201cThere are probably 5,000 to 6,000 people dependeut and a gocd many more wWbo have provisions for themselves, but need fred for stock.Considerable help has been received from St.Paul and Minneapolis, also from Chicago and from several States eest and south, but thus far only enough to temporarily to relieve the needs of the destitute and much more will have to be solicited from time to time.Commissioner Helgensen accompanies his letter with à paper which contains an apreal to the public, signed by the Commissioner, as follows :\u2014\u201cThe SUFFERING FOR WANT OF PROVISIONS, clothing, fuel and feed for stock in several counties of North Dakota is un- precadented in the Unitad Stats aad needs some explauation.The destitution is almcst exclusively cc ined to the newer portion of the Sta:3, where the set- tlemen*s date back only two, three and four years, except Nelson and Ramsey counties, which have been settled about six years, These new settlements were, like earlier settlements of mcst counties, comp sed largely of people whose resources would have baen heavily taxed to succeed and keep themselyes above want with favorable seasons.\u201d The story, as told by the commissioner, is that of all our new States.Good seasons at first rewarded them, and every acre was turned over for harvesting in 1888.All appeared well until August of that year, when a severe frost, a thing unknown belore, killed the ripening grain, It did much damage on the older and better portions of the State, but it ENTIRELY DESTROYED THE NEW SKECIIONS.The bardy men did not lose their courage, but hired out to neighbors, thereby earning the money necessary for the seed and living of 1889.The unprece- derted drough of.last year was doubtless felt most severely of anywhere in the west, in the fields and families of vhe newly settled portions of both North and South Dakota.As Commissioner Hel- gensen says, a second entire failure in some sections left many people completely destitute.He adds: While nearly the entire state suffered from drouth, only seven or eight counties need much assistance.In this area are the counties where the greatest amount of assistance is needed, viz: Nelson, Ramsay, Benson, Pierce, Bottineau, Rolette and Towner.Cavelier County will also need some help as will Eddy and McIntosh, the latter in the Southern portion of the Stata, In the counties named there are not leas than 5,000 people DEPENDENT ON OUTSIDE HELP until they can raise another crop, and a still larger number will need some assistance for stock.Most of them have hay, but horses and oxen wili not be able to work safficiently to get in the spring crops unless they bave grain.The supplies heretofore received are far fromm meeting the demand, and provisions are urgently needed.The counties are well organized and supplies are distributed through the County Commissioner.The greatest care is taken to prevent the improper use of these donations.All contributions, whether money or provisions or clothing should be forwarded to said commissioner at Grand Forks, where the proper division will be made of it Commissioner Helgensen explains the condition of the State by showing that under its constitution in taking over property and debts from the former territory, it bas nearly reached the legal maximum of debt that may be incurred.It is therefore UNABLE AS A STATE TO RAISE THE MONEY and means necessary to supply the destitute.There is no doubt, from all the evidence, that the people of North Dakota are doing the very best for their suffering fellow-citizens.There is no doubt that the appeals already made and the publicity have met with warm responses from the N.W.But there is no room to doubt that very much more is needed.The Red Cross Association bas satls- fied itself astothat.Inquiries by its general field agent confirm this appeal and information as weil as other statements received.There is no need, with the excellent methods adopted by the State authorities, for the presence of the Red Cross in this field, but there is a duty before it, and before the people of the sister states as well.The Red Cross believes that its duty will be done if by this authoritative statement it shall be the means of inducing subscriptions for the suffering people of Dakota large enough in amount to meet all the emergencies that will arise.There are SIX MONTHS OF SHORT RATIONS, of unclothed human beings, of seedless ri \u2018When Baby was sick, we gave her Caatoria, When sho was a Child, she cried for Castoris, !

people.Judging from past expariences and observations, it would appear to us wiser to send money that can be used on the ground under direction of the State officials assigned to that duty than to spand it for railroad freight in purchasing food or other articles of supplies that may be better and more properly obtained with cash in the hands of those who know where it is most needed.In this way there will be a double help gecured as the people will theraby be aided to help themselves.The Red Cross therefore adviser that subscriptions be sent directto H.T.Helgensen, Stata Commissioner of Agriculture and labor, Grand Forks, North Dakota.It urges this hecauza of the necessity, and fiom a sense of the obligation which all America owes to these ploneer brethren wuo built the new commonwealth in the west.By order of the Executive Committee.\u201d ; (Signed) CLARA BARTON, President of the American Order of the Red Cross.\u2014\u2014\u2014 ONLY TWO MEN WOUNDED.Plenty of Shooting But Bad Marksmen, NEWCASTLE, Pa.,, March 9.\u2014Constable Jacob Dindirger and two deputies went to the ranch ot tan Italians, at Wampum, on Friday night, to arrest them for stealing coal from the Wampum Coal company.The Italians, who go by numbers, refused to be taken, and the constable returned to town and organized a pc3se of 25 men.They went back, and in attampting to force the Italians to go to the lockup one Italian fired a load from a shotgun into the back of Elsie Alley.The firing became general, and one Italian was shot through the lung.Over one hundred shots were fired and four Italians were arrested.The others escaped.LATER.The posse discovered five more Italians in a back, and as the officers approached the Italians fired a volley, but they were overpowered and locked up.Alley received the full charge of buckshot in the shoulder, but the wound is not necessarily fatal.The Italian who was wounded in the lung is in a critical condition, Nine Italians are still in the lockup and the Wampum Company fear the 300 Italian laborers will attempt to reecue them, ee THERE'S MILLIONS IN IT.Fight for \u2018Stomach Bitters\u2019 Fstate.PrrrsBURG, Pa., March 9.\u2014On

9\u2014Mr.A.M.Stenhouse, in a letter to the McLeod Gazette, says of the Mormon colony :\u2014 \u201c Polygamy is negatived by prescription, and certainly is not practiced, any idle rumors to the contrary notwithstanding.Besides, on the face of it, the relative proportion of the sexes here are such as to exciude polygamy.Sistars are far outnumbered by brethren, although from the latter being constantly employed in the fields, a casual visitor to the Mormon households might argue a preponderance of the fair sex.The \u201c pcsitive proof \u201d said to be in the bands of the mounted police, is an invention of some eastern genius.A despatch from Portage La Prairie says: The following telegram was received here last night: \u201cE.H.G.G.Hay, police magistrate, has a prisoner on suspicion of being murderer of Holton, of Kent County.A scar on his groir.(Signed) Attorney-General of Ontario.\u201d He was examined here by Dr.Mac- Lin and prisoner has a scar on his right groin, this seems

on Saturday night Prendergast continued his speech on the educational bill, which he characterized as a scandalous imprai- tion and injustice to the Catholic minority in the province, who, he said, would not submit till the judgment of the highest tribunal in the land was obtained as to its legality ; and if this was adverse to Catholics they would seek homes in other parts of the province where the sacred privileges of minorities would not be ruthlessly snatched from them and trampled under foot He warned the Gov~ ernment that serious consequences might result from any attampt made to levy taxes from Catholics to support Protast- ant schcols.lhe people he represented were resoluts and would not submit to the iniquitous measure even if force had to be resorted to.He closed a seven hours\u2019 speech by expressing his unqualified opinion that the bill ultimataly would be disallowed.A bill of Attorney-Gensral Martin\u2019s, to amend the execution of administration laws in the Province, came up for a third reading.The measure proposes to give the Lieutenant Govnrnor power ta commute sentence for minor offences.Mr.Prendergast strongly opposed it, claiming the preamble hadi a direct bearing on the Saparata School Act, and was ultra vires, and would undoubtedly be vetoed at Ottawa.Mr.Martin replied that a similar bill bad been passed in Ontario, and he in- trcduced this in response to a request from Mr.Mowat, and while he knew it would be disallowed, the House intended to pass it in pursuance of the policy of provincial rights, The bill was then passed.A lively time is expectsd on Monday, when Martin (Morris) will introduce an amendment to the Attorney-General\u2019g School Act.A CBEDIT TO THE LIBERAL PARTY.Mr.Barion, M.P., Chastises a Ruflan.Lixpsay, Ont., March 9.\u2014Recently there bave been two cases wherein yourg girls have been assaultad by a ruffian, who'is said to have been recognized as a married man by name of Raymond, who, until recently, has been working as a blacksmith.A short time ago one of Mr.Barron's children was returning home from the skating rink,wher,.it is said, this man attacked the child, but her screams seemed to frighten him, and he ran off as soon as he discovered who the child was.Mr.Barron, M.P., returned from Cttawa last bight and on hearing this morning of the occurrence sent for the chief constable with the object of frightening the man so that he would leave the town, but so soon as he (Mr.Barron) saw him and before the chief constable could inteiiere Mr.Barron jumped upon the ruffian and gave him a severe beating with a stick which he had in his hand.By reason of Raymond starting to run Mr.Barron, who followed him, was enabled to repeat the dose before the chief constable could interfere.Apart from any legal justification of this course, this action of Mr.Barron will be a wholesome lesson to men of the reputation and character which Raymond is alleged to possess, FROM THE DOMINION CAPITAL, The Royal Scots Cadet Corps in the Capitol\u2014General Middleton Denies the * Looting> Charge\u2014An Arbitrary Use of Pricstly Power.Orrawa, March 9.\u2014The Royal Scots cadet corrs, of Montreal, arrived in the city Saturday morning at three o'clock and marched to the Brunswick, where they are putting up during their stay.They are under the charge of Captain and Adjutant Lyndon, of the 5th Royal Scots, to whose energy, patience and skill is due the success the corps has attained.In the forenoon the corps fell in and marched, headed by the band, of the Royal Scots, by way of Sparks and Elgin street to the drill hall, where Capt.Lyndon put them through a series of calisthenic exercises and company drill formations which were extremely creditable to \u201cthe boys.\u201d At 2.30 they gave an exhibition of drill and calisthenic in the drill hall, Inthe evening they gave another exhibition, and were complimented by Sir Frederick Middleton.The cadets to-day attended St.Andrew's Presbyterian Church.Their appearance was warmly commented upon.The corps returned this afternoon by the \u201c800\u201d train.General Middleton says that he never authorized Commissioner Hayter Reed to write to the officer who bad charge of Brymner\u2019s fur, ordering that they should be packed in three boxes, one for the general, one for Warden Bedson, and one for Mr.Reed.Principal Cavan, Toronto, has been

receipt of à communication from a gentleman who has, at great trouble to himself, favoured us with his thoughts and advice as to the way in which a daily newspaper for the City of Montreal should be managed.While sensible of the kindness of our friendly mentor, we may at once say that his ideas are based rather upon what the newspaper public of Montreal should be than upon what it is.In the United States, and in the cities of Western Canada, no business men and very few families of moderate means, are without their morning paver.We may say without exaggeration that a vast majority of business houses take several morning papers.A gentleman of considerable expari- ence and success remarked in our hearing thet Montreal business men slaved awey fcr an extra ten years in securing a& competence, because they stinted themselves on morning journals, and we noticed that in his office fyles of all the English papers of this city and several others were handy to his desk.His theory is that a business man who doss not regularly see the morning papers of his city heavily handicaps himself in the race for wealth\u2014that unless a very rich man \u201che cannot affard to do without all the papers,\u201d A business man who contents himself with one morning paper saves $6 a year, but he probably loses oprortunities or knowledge that would be worth sixty (times six dollars and often-times a great deal more.The gentleman to whom we refer does large business elsewhere than in the Province of Quebec, He, and those who think with him, smile at many of our Montreal ways ; they call our marchants \u201cglow,\u201d and do no! wonder that some of them fear competition with the United States.It is not difficult, of course, to size up a man who waits till the evening to read the paper : the only wonder is that he remains in the stream at all But many of such people wonder and grumble at the rapid progress of others ; others who read the papers.And we suppose that there is no city of Montreal's size in tbe Northern States of America or tha Western Provinces of Canada in which the people deny themselves the luxury of the mora- ing paper to an extent at all proportionate to that which is practiced here.Thrift 18 a commendable practice, but when it verges on injurious meanness it ceases to be a virtue.A great many people who appear to be stupid and uninformed are not naturally so ; the appearance is caused by their not having read the morning paper.We have heard of men who, because they gee the paper at their respective offices, deny their households the advantage of a morning paper.Itis conceivable that there are such men, but we hope not many of them.People who wait till the evening to ses ths paper are their own enemies ; they belong to that class of trader who in the present day hopes to pass his competitors without advertising, or the man who bases his hopes of becoming rich on the chance of someone leaving him a fortune.MR.MILLS OF ANNAPOLIs.Mr.Mills said in the House of Commons that Tue HERALD had done him a a wrong.If this is so we are sincerely sorry for it.We do not intentionally misunderstand the position of anyone, or state that which we do not believe to be true.But as to Mr.Mills.Tus HeraLp stated that the Government had awarded a contract for the construction of a building, in which certain material was to be used, and had afterwards permitted the successful tenderer to substitute another and achesper material without getting any abatement of price.We also said that the Government had purchased a lot on which to put the said building from a person who Was ia effect an intermediary between Mr.Mills and the Government.Mr.Mills saye this is not true.Our information, therefore, concerning this lot would seem to have been incorrect.But Mr.Mills unfortunately has put it out of our power to accept bis word as sufficient proof of his statement.In his denial he said :\u2014 \u2018\u201c My attention has just this mo- + ment been called to an article in the ¢ Montreal HeraLp of 6th March, and, 4 befcre the Orders of the Day are called, \u201c*Iwish to give a denial tothe state \u201c ments therein contained.The whole ** article, I may say, has not a word of truth \u201cinit\u201d Mr.Mills, therafore, stated from his seat in parliameut that the Government did not award the contract in ques- sion to Messra.RhoJes, Carry & Co, that they did not permit this firm to substitute red sandstone for granite, that sandstone is not cheaper or more easily worked than grauite, and that he himself is nct a faithful supporter of the Government.Public documents, however, show TE HERALDP to be right and Mr.Mills to be wrong, and had he been in his seat he would have heard the Minister of Public Works make the admissions on which Tue HreraLp's statements were based.Either then Mr.Mills is an extraordinarily stupid person or he is quite reckless in his denials.As he would probably repudiates the proposition that Le is an extraordinarily stupid person, there seems to be only one alternative conclusion, and if he recklessly denies that which is shown to be true and which does not ccncern himself, is it culpable incredulity or merely praiseworthy caution to receive his statement concerning that which reflects upon his relations with the ministry with the hope that future enquiries may corroborate his statement?He first did bis utmost to impair his own credit, and then accentuated doubt by declining to say when he had ceased to be interested in the lot which the Gecvern- ment had purchssed.We certainly think that Mr.Mills is hardly a safe guardian of Mr.Mills\u2019 credit.SENATOR ALLISON AND TARIFF REFORM.Senator Allison, of Iowa, has been ra- elected by the Legislature of that State to the Federal Senate.Hs is a Rapub.lican and a protectionist, and the reputed father of the Senate tariff bill passed by that branch of Congress previous to the Presidential election, and some surprise has been expressed that his candidature for ra-slection to the Senate should have been supported by some Democratic tariff reformers.Tae Washington correspondent of the New York Herald professes to explain the situa tion py declaring that the Senator has developed into a strong tariff reformer, largely on the lines laid down by the Democrats in the Mills tariff bill.It is said he repudiates the Senate tariff bill as expressing his own convictions, saying that it was dictated by a variety of protected interests, and intimates that he will declare for a revision which will ensure a material reduction of duties.The recent State elections in lowa and Ohio have convinced him that the paople, particularly the farmers, want a reduction of duties on goods largely used by them, and he has arrived at the conclusion that consumers should be considered as we'l as protected producers.It is intimated that he will support free wool, free lumber, free salt, reduction of iron and steel and sugar duties, as well as concessions to copsumers on many other points.If this diagnosis of Senator Allison\u2019s position be correct it may be taken as pretty good evidence that tariff reform is making very satisfactory progress ammng our neighbours, > TIE SENSITIVENESS OF CAPITAL.If anything were wanted to show the plethora of capital which exists in free trade Britain, it would be supplied by the experiences of Mr.Bender, in the formation of the \u201c Canada Direct Meat Company.\u201d Not only is the capital | lying dormant in the proverbial © old stocking\u201d to be extracted for schemes that appeal to the generosity or cupidity of the owner, but it exists ia | the shape of loosa cash in the Briton\u2019s breeches pocket,ready to ieap forth at the first plausible call.Of the members who make up the subscribers of the threa quarters of a million dollars already paid ip to the credit of this preposterous scheme, it is safe to say that few sinned through ignorance.The province of Quebec is not a terra incognita to the British public.There is very little danger of iis resources being over-estimated by the class of people whose money is always ready to tempt Dame Fortune.According to their reading, Quebec 1s but little better than a howling wilderness whose few inhabitants have a desperate fight for a livelihood against the severity of the climate, the sterility of the soil and the exactions of the tax gatherer.They have also a vazue idea that the small surplus, where any is leit to the habitant, is annually swept away by the voracious tithe collector, and if there is one thing more than another impressed on their minds it is that Quebec is not famous as a cattle ranching country.In spite of all their knowledge, or as we should call it, prejudice, a skilful prestidigitatear in figures, a clever juggler in words and phrases, comes along and by a few artistic touches the whole scene is changed.The province becomes a country flowing with milk and honey.Cattle from a thousand hills are seen wending their way to the abattoirs of the new company.Nay, 80 anxious are the very beasts to add to the shareholders\u2019 dividends, that, in many instances, the cattle voluntarily cut themselves into joints and sell their hides, horns and hoofs in the retail market, 80 that the company have only to pack up the portions fit for the British gourmand, and receive for the offal a larger sum in ready money than they paid for the beast itself in the first instance.The pity of the whole thing is that when once the rose-coloured medium, through which this attractive picture is seen, is dispelled, the whole scene is apt to become too bare and desolate.By contrast everything looks much worse than it really is.The capitalist once touched in his breuches pocket remembers the lesson, and, for AL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZE SQUIBS.the future, no matter how genuine the | enterprise placed before him, let the plan | of its operations inclade the word \u201c Quebec!\u201d and the pockets are buttoned up with tremulous haste.He at once closes his ears to the charmer, and charm he never 80 wisely his chance is nil.So it comes about that genuine speculations are left untouched ; that mines, minerals and industries that need only a little of the aurplus British capital to ensure the most ample returns, will in future languish in vain for a few drops of that golden stream that a Bander has so easily diverted for a time to his own garden plot.\u2014_\u2014 PRACTICALLY COLLAPSED, The Pan-American Congrass has strack asnag.The delegates have been able to agree on various points, but as regards a customs union between the United States and the countries of Central and South America, they are all agreed that under existing conditions it is impracticable.The majority of the committee to which the trade question was relegated for consideration, seem to ba- lieve that\u2014if it could be obtained\u2014abso- lute freedom of trade between the three Americas would be desirable and would prove as beneficial as between the various States in the American Republic, but deeming unrestricted reciprocity impracticable for the present at least they confine themselves to recommending that partial reciprocity treaiies should be negotiated among the Americin nations, whereby each may agree to remove or diminish their respective import duties upon some of the natural or manufactured products of one or more of the other mations in exchange for similar and equivalent advantages.if good results flow from the operation of this partial reciprocity\u2014and the committee was of opinion that such would be the case\u2014it is recommended that the number of articles on the free list might be enlarged in each case from time to time until they attain, through the development of the natural elements of wealth, other sources of revenue or an increase of the existiug ones, which would allow the contracting nations to reach unrestricted reciprocity as a free trade among somo or all the American nations.These recommendations, however, did not secure the unanimous endorsement of the committee, for a minority report, signed by Alfonso of Chili, and Pina of the Argentine Republic, was also presented to the Congress.It agrees with the majority report in holding that a customs union 18 impracticable, but recommends that the Pan-American conference dismiss the entire question of improved trade relations between American countries.These delegates hold that as long as the United States levies a tariff on wool, which is the principal article produced in their countries, reciprocity would not benefit them ; and that if the United States will not consider propositions for putting wool on the free list or greatly reducing the duties these delegates consider it a waste of time to discuss the improvement of trade relations.Commenting on this outcome of the deliberations of the Congress on ths trade question, the Chicago Tribune says : Before the Pan-American conference met the Tribune predicted that the representatives of the United States could hardly expect to secure vent for our manufactures in Central and South American countries if th.great wool product of those countries was not admitted at the portsof the United States free of duty or at greatly reduced rates.Tho Pan-American delegates certainly would uot give without getting anything in return.It would seem absurd to expect the countries which they represent to buy goods from th» United States and pay in their tariff-taxel wool product which they can sell to batter advantage in markets to which they have free admission, As the Valparaiso (Chili) Union raid: \u201cThe United States was pretending to realize the impossible or the absurdity to sell to all the world without, buying anything from anybody.\u201d The same paper succinctly said : \u201c If we buy of the English it is because they do not repel through a protective tariff the articles we produce and of which we can avail ourselves to pay for what we buy.\u201d This is à correct statement of the difficulty, and the committee of the Pan-American conference has found no way to avoidit.Further discussion of the conflicting reports will now be in order in the conference, but it is already plain enough that if the United States gains anything in the way of Improved trade with the countries of Central and South Ameriea it must be on the principle of give and take.Fora Republican and a protectionist journal, that is putting it pretty plainly, as well as truthfully ; it cleariy implies, without expressly saying so, that if the American Governmenc and Congress allow their trade and tariff policy to ba dictated by the protected interests of the country, there is no use talking about improved trade relations with foreign nationg.This fact should have some weight in Canada, where we have 80 much talk of extending our trade with the Antipodes, the West Indies, the Argentine Republic and Spain (don\u2019t forget Tupper and Spain), by means of shipping subsidies and other artificial expedients.Unless we are prepared to make tarif concessions to those coun- tries\u2014on the \u201cgive aud take\u201d principle ss the Chicago Tribune puts it\u2014the amount of trade that will be built up by the artificial expedients will not amoung to much\u2014two or three ships and a few voyages will do all the trading.-_\u2014 Jonx M.Forees, a prominent shippar and ship-owner of Boston, was before the House Committee on Merchant, Marine and Fisheries, at Washington, last week.He told the Committee that protection had killed the American shipping industry, that it could not be revived by bounties and subsidies, and that the only hope of revival was thr free trade in ships, and free raw materials and supplies.Ha wants | American citizens to be allowed to purchase foreign built ships ang register

Meredith\u2019s Towards Ontario Catholics, fet The Imp.Fed.Fad and Its Folly.For practieal purposes, and with a view to arriving at a just opinion on the vexed question of minority rights and privileges, a comparison between the position of the Protestants in Quebec and the Catholics in Ontario is perfectly in order.This will be all the more instructive if we take into account the character of the agitation which has been started in Oa- tario with reference to saparate schools.And here I may be parmitted to observe that it would be well, indeed, could the adherents of the several forms of Christianity come to some equitable uader- standing with reference to public school education.But since such an understanding seems at present unattainabls, there is no use in an agitation whica can only breed discussion, as it is manifas that the separate schools in Ontari and the dissentient schools in Quebec stand or fall together, and that neither the Catholics of the one province nor the Protestants of the other wili ever consent to the abolition of the educational rights they enjoy under the federal compact, .So much has been gaid and written about the extraordinary privileges accorded the Catholics of Ontario and the disabilities under which Protestants of Quebec are laboring, that a plain statement of facts is much needed in the interests of truth.In his famous speech at London, Oat., Mr.Meredith, leader of the Ontario Opposition, complained that under Mr.owat\u2019s administration the Catholic Separateschools in Ontario had increased in number from 167 to 285.Rev.Mr.Rexford, Protestant Secretary of the Quebec Council of Pablic Instruction, de- se REGISTERED LETTERS must be posted 15 minutes earlier.[A] Postal Car Bags open till 8.15 a.m.and 7.45 p.m.[ec] Postal Car Bags open till 8.15 a.m.{B] Postal Car Bags oben till 7.30 a.m.REGISTERED LETTER MAIL for the New England States\u2014for Boston, New York and Southern States,\u2014 closed only at 3.20 p, m.& Portland, Me., 7 p.m.GREAT BRITAIN, &c.By Teutonic, White Star Line, 3 p.m.Tuesday, March 4 By Aurania, Cunard Line, (c] 6.30 p.m.Thursday, March 6.By Caspian, Allan Line, [a] 7.30 p.m.Thursday, March 9 By Aurania, Supp.[c] 7.00 a.m.Friday, March 7 By Lahn, N.G.Lloyd Line, 6.30 p.m.Monday March 19 By Lahn, N.G.Lloyd Line, Supp.7 a.m.Tuesday, March 11 By Vancouver, Dominion Line, {a] 7.30 p.m Thursday, March 13 By Servia, Cunard Line, 3 p.m.Friday March 14 By Eider, N.G.Lloyd, {c] 3.00 p.m.Friday, March 14 By City of Paris, Inman Line, 3.00 p.m.Tuesday, 18 By Werra, N.G.Lloyd, [c{ 6 30 p.m.Thursday, March 20 By Sardinian, Allan Line [a] 7.3) p.m, Thursday March 20.By Werra, N.G.Lloyd, Supp.[¢] 7.00 a.m.Friday, March 21 By German'c, W.Star L, for 6.30 p.m, Monday, March 24 \u2019 By Saale, N.G.Lloyd Line, 6.30 p.m.Monday, March 24 By Saale, N.G.Lloyd Line, 8upp.7.00 a.m.Tuesday March 25 By Peruvian, Allan Line, [a] 7.30 p.m Thursday, March, 27 ;

Club at the wheel honse were tae scene of a very exciting shooting contest on Saturday.The occasion was the match shoot for the challenge cup, and the con testanis were five members of tha St Johns Gun Club and five members of the Montreal Gun Club, the holders of the cup.The St.Johns isa very youug club, and when it was first known that they Lad challenged the champions, it was thought that they had very little chance of winning.In consequence a large number of sportsmen journeyed out tu witness what they termed the \u2018 youngster\u2019s debnt,\u201d end as is often the case with a first appearance it proved of the most successful kind, to the utter chagrin of the friends of the champions.Tue St Johns men proved to be thoroughly weli acquainted with the handling of the rifle, and though the wind was not exactly of the most obliging kind, they brought down tbe Puoria\u2019s in a masterly manner which proved so effective that when tle scores were called out by the referee, it was found they hal defeated the champions by two birds.The visitors were heartily congratulated on the plucky tight they had made.The teams cheered each other and then returned to the city.After the shoot for the cup several sweepstakes wera shot for in which the shooting was much better than in the cup 1natch.Following is the summary :\u2014 CUP AT FIFTEEN BIRDS, Montreal Club.J.Jones,

partaken of.The club has received invitations from Quebec and Ottawa to give concerts in each place, and it is very likely both will be accepted.Skating.THE TOURNAMENT AT ST.PETERSBURG.The London Sporting Life has the following: \u201cIt may be interesting to your readers if I give you my opinion on the skaters here.The question is often asked, Are the Russian skaters superior to the Canadians or Dutch in ornamental or figure skating?I have been four wecks bere watching the practice at the Yousp:ff Gardens, where thers is a beautiful ekating ground, and have seen the chief exponents\u2014both ladies and geutlemen.All go in for large field figures, doubtless owing to the immensa size of tbe ice-bed.In Canada figure skating is mostly carried on in covered rinks, the ice-beds generally being 300 feet in length and 100 feet wide.As a consequence, Canadians have to practice smaller and more difficult movements.Although these require greater skill and grace, they are not so well appreciated in Russia as larger and more acrobatic movemeute.Since the arrival, however, of Mr.Rubenstein (the Canadian champion) the Canadian system ofskating has be>u more closely observed and practiced.In my opinion the Canadians and Amsri- caps in figure and ornamental skating are a long way ahead of the beat exponents in Russia.In the competition held here for the championship the figures executed by the representatives of Finland, Stockholm, Vienna, Moscow and Germany were the most awkward I have ever seen, even the simplest movements were ouly performed by a great deal of force, their hands and legs flying in all directions.In regard to acrobatic skating they certainly shine, but in America or Canada such skating would not be tolerated by the judges.One of the best skaters here is Mr.Lebedeau, who closely observes the Canadian style, and with more practice he will make a formidable opponent to even such finished skaters as Mr.Rubenstein.The ladies here, I must say, are very nice skaters, and some are very graceful in their movements ; but I have seen none equal to Some of our American lady skaters.\u201d \u201c The international figure skating contest took place at the Youspoff Garders, and was largely attended.Mr.Lisbadean was reckoned a sure winner, as the list of figures\u2014or \u2018diagram,\u2019 as it is called here\u2014were considered the hardest ever devised for a competition, and the Canadian champion would have to follow very different kind of figures to those in which be proved victorious in America and Canada.Rubenstein showed some remarkably fine place skating, and was cheered by tbe large and fashionable audience, evidently took great interest in tbe competition.Finally he came out abead by quite a number of points, and, with the exception of Mr.Lebe- deau, of St.Petersburg, nobody else bad the ghost of a chance.Tne competitors were Mr.W.Bosch, Moscow ; Mr, F, Hunt, Stockholm (champion, Mr.W.Dinstel, Vienna (champion); K.Kaiser, Germany (champion); R.Smadgren, Helsingfors; D.Katim, HBelsingtors (champion); Louis Ruben- stein, Montreal, Canada (champion of America, representing the Canadian Skating Association), and A.P.Labe- deau, St.Petersburg.At the close of the competijion the following were returned tLe winners of the prizes: Louis Ruben- stein, 1; A.P.Lebedeau, 2; W.Dinstal, Vienna, 3.Next a competition took place, in which five special figures were designed, and, although the Canadian seemed to win, when the returns were made out he was only awarded second prize, Mr.Lebedeau taking first, and Katani, Helsingfors, third, and then another competition took place for specialties, but the Canadian did not compete, baving caught a cold.Tha ice was very hard, and there was a strong wind blowing across the ice, which made things very uncomfortable.This competition I thought the Helsingfors skater, Katani, won, but he was orly awarded second prize.In the evening a dinner was given by the Skating Society in the Restaurant Coutant.About 100 sat down, and after the repast, which was served in excellent style, the prizes were presented to the winners, amidst cheering and a musical flourish from the band.The visitors were toasted, and Rubanstcin received quite an ovation.Dancing and singing followed, and with the singing of the national anthem the party broke up.Thus ended the most important international skating meeting ever held in St.Petersburg.\u201d ORANGE LAKE YACHT CLUB RACES\u2014SAM SEE'S RECORD NOT BROKEN.NewsurcH, N.Y., March

Extension of the Mountain Incline Railway to Bleury Street.\u2014\u2014\u2014 Will 19 SPoiL FLETOHERS FIELD \u2014_\u2014 The Matter Discussed by Aldermen and Citizens on Saturday.ee Last fall the Mount Royal Lnclin® Railway Company commenced to exten their railway tra:k from the base of 8 3 mountain to Bleury street, for Y,nich provision is made in their charter.Part of the work is through a rock -cutting, which took considerable blasting to effect a passage, the remainder baing an elevated track.When the Golf Club House was reached a difficulty arose.The Park Commissioners were opposed to the track being laid across Fletcher's Field, clai ming that it would destroy the appearance of the field as well as interfere with its usefulness as a play ground for the city youth.The matter was referred to the City Attorney, who, the company claim, decided against them on a technicality.As the work now stands, the track extension, itis asserted by the company, is of no use unless they be allowed to extend it.The track ends abruptly on the edge of field on trestie work, from 10 to 19 feet above the ground.The spring 18 approaching and the directors of the company are desirous of proceeding with their work in order to be ready for the summer's work, which they expect to be very heavy.: In order to try and get an expression of opinion on the matter, and lay it fuily befcre the Park Commissiouors, they were invited, together with other aldermen, to visit the work on Saturday after- OOD.Among those present were Mayor Grenier, Aldermen Farrell, Cunningham, Conroy, Villeneuve, Clendinneng and Wilson.The following citizens, interested in various ways, wers present : Messrs, W.J.Turner, Hon.James McShane, F.B.McNamee, James Harper, A.McPherson, W.M:- Gibbon, Park Ranger; W.8.Walker, Ww.Mann, W.J.Whithall, B.J.Coghlin, J.McClanaghan, J.D.H.Lecuyer, J.Wilson, Jr, Alex.Hamilton, Jame Williamson, Thos.Arnton, James Strachan, and several others.Shortly after 3 o'clock the party drove up from the City Hall to the Golf Club House and made an inspection of the ground and work.The Park Commissioners are Alder- Villeneuve, chairman ; Wilson and Farrell.Asthe chairman is a shareholder in the company he refrained from taking any part in the discussion, and Ald.Wilson took up the discussion and strongly upheld the contentions cf the committee, that the proposed track would spoil Fietcher\u2019s Field.The Mayor asked why the track could not be curved so as to ran down the hill instead of running across.He thought that would get over the difficulty.Ald, Wilson held that such a plan would spoil the field worse than a straight track.The mayor said he was not of the same opinion.Mr.McNamee said he came in a friendly way to discuss the matter and to iry and impress the aldermen with the desirability of carrying the extension to Bleury street.He scorned the idea that the track would apoil the field, claiming on the other hand that it would beautify it and be quite an attraction.The company, he said, want to make the mountain accessible to everybody by extending the railway, aaa they will land people at the summit of tbe mountain from Bleury street for five cents, the same price charged for going up the side in the past.Mr.Mann said the public want the work carried to Bleury street.Ald.Wilson\u2014*It is the shareholders of the company that want it.The public don\u2019t want the field destroyed.\u201d Mr.McNamee claimed Lis rights as a citizen.He said the company were given a charter which allowed them to build their track to or near Bleury street.Qa the strength of that be put his money into the company, and now, on the strength of a technicality, they are denied the right to complete a work which is in the public interest, The City Council oppoees foreign capital being spent in the city, and when they should encourage local capital, some of its members are found strongly objecting.The discussion was carried on with considerable animation on both sides, but the circumstances were not favorable.The crowd had been standing in the snow for about a quarter of an hour and was beginning to feel the effects of the cold atmosphere.At this point, an invitation from Mr.McGibbon to adjourn to \u2018to his house on the mountain was hailed with delight, and a start was im mediate- ly made for the ascent of the mountain road in cabs, At tbe Park Rangers comfortable abode everybody was made at home, Mr.Robb, City Comptroller, assisting Mr.McGibbon very materially in doing the honors.After a substantial lunch had been enjoyed, the discussion, which had been adjourned at the foot of the mountain, was resumed under more comfortable circumstances, The Mayor was the first speaker and said a few words in favor of the railway extension.He was followed by Alderman Villeneuve, who, in virtus of his position towards the city and company, refrained from activity in the matter.Alderman Wilson, being called upon, said he was in favor of doing the greatest good to the greatest number, Ald.Clendinneng wanted to see the best access possible to the mountain.Hon.James McShane was called for and made Some remarks bearing on the Importance of public parks in relation to cities.Tbe people of the United States, be said, have spent millions on their public parks.No other city can boast of such a great natural park as Mount Royal, and as in this age we live to help the people, the park should be made as easy of aecess as possible by building the track to Bleury street, The services of Mr.McGibbon, as Park Ranger, were highly spoken of by Mr.McShane and he thought he should be better paid than he is.Had it not been for his honesty and integrity, the park would have cost the city much more than it Ald.Wilson, thinkiog by the tone of some of the speeches that peecl veople though he was working in the interests of fe wealthier classes, said he was not influenced by any class, but was acting on the dictates of his conscience, Mr.Innes, M.P,, of Guelph, Ont., who was present, the guest of Mr.Williamson wag asked to say a few words.He referred to the beauty of the Mountain Park, having visited it in summer, and said Montreal ought to be proud of such a beautiful spot.He said the feeling between the Provinces of Quebec and Ontario, about which so much is said, 13 all on the surface.; Mr.F.B.MeNamee upheld his contention that the proposed extension © the track is in the interests of the macses.\u201cIt is all very well,\u201d he said, cr the wealthy men to talk, when they can go .o 0° seaside or Lo the country and escape tbO eat and other drawbacks of a large cit, in midsummer.The working classes must bave fresh air as we\", as rich people aud the only place * oy can get it is on the mountair, They cannct afford to drive up, or can mothers carry five or six rauldren up.The company will extend their track and make it possible for every person to reach the mountain and still leave the charge as formerly.\u201d Hs was in favor of encouraging the buildiog of elevated tracks all over the city.Ile aleo referred to the services of Mr.Me- Gibbon.Mr.B.J.Coghlin was called for, and alter paying a tribute to the park ranger, said the mountain was intended for the working clasees, and hoped they would facilitate the task of reaching it.He advocated a similar railway on the west side of the mountain for the working people in that quarter.; Nr.James Williamson, in speaking of the mountain, said other cities would give millions for such : one.What is wanted is to make it acc®ssible lor the people.It will save the lives of hundreds of poor children who could not otherwise get fresh air.Before the company left for the city, Mr.McGibbon was cailed on, and in the course of his remarks made refereuce to the west end park agitation.Toe city instead of buying small patches h-re and there, should buy Nun\u20198 Island, connect it with the city by a bridge and ruu the horse cars across.That 18 what would be best for the wes: end people.The party reached the city shortly after seven o\u2019clock.Mr.McNamee, in conversation with a HERALD reporter afterwards, said he felt sure the city would give them the right to proceed with their work, as its agcom- plishment wiil greatly benefit the working classes.- \u2014\u2014 ee Smoke Hand-Made Cigar, Nectar, 5 Cents THE
