LonpoN, April G\u2014crom Shanghai comes the statement that the Chinese are strengthening themselves on their northern frontier against an apprehended attack by Russia.China for several years hus been increasing her military force in the provinces adjoining ths Amoor, and stout forts bave been erected at points more likely to be threatened by Russian invasion.China could throw about 800,000 of the best troops into immediate action in the event of a war with Russia, while the population to ba drawn upon for reinforcements is practically unlimited.No word comes from St.Petersburg as to whether thers is ground for Chinese fears; but this silence indicates nothing.Russia is not in the habit of publishing to the world either her foreign or domestic policy.Besides, the Czars have usually allowed, rather than permitted, their generals to undertake movements that meant encroachment on neighboring States, and especially has this been the case in Asia, where vast tracts have been absorbed and extensive bostilities carricd ou at various times within this century, without any declaration of war against any body.The enemies, however, have been half savage tribes and Khans.with little authority beyond the view from their mud built towers.Dealing with China would be a different matter; for the Chinese army is vastly improved in discipline and equipment, since the affair with France, a few years ago.But even in making war upon China, it would be entirely in accord with the duplicity that characterizes the Cabinet of the Czar fo begin hostilities through some commander, whose course, if successful, might either be repudiated or adopted as circumstances seemed to dictate.On the other hand, there is the fact that the despaich announcing Chinese military movements in the direction of the northern frontier relates nothing new, boing siwply a cco lixzaticn of the ic port that China is keeping a vigilant guardianship over the provinces in which, more than a year ago, she had already stationed the flower of her army.+ SCANDINAVIA UNEASY.The Russificatioa of Finland a Menace to Sweden and Norway.(Copyright by the United Press,) LoNDoN, April 5.\u2014The scheme to convert Finland from a free State, with the Czar as constitutional sovereign, into a Russian province with the Czar as autocrat, excites considerable attention in Europe.People generally have had their eyes fixed upon Russian operatinns in she Danubian provinces and on the Darden- ells to the neglect of the encroachments of that vast and restless power in other directions.Russia is feared by Sweden not; less than by Turkey, and Sweden looks to England, just as the Sultan does, for protection {rom the grasp of the Muscovite despot.The Scandinavians are nos united in feeling for reasons apparent to the student of their history.Between Russia and Denmark there has for ages existed a strong sympathy, while Russia and Deamark regard Sweden both with unfriendly, and the former with covetous eyes.The Russification of the Finns, therefore, means one more step in Russia\u2019s advance toward an attack upon Sweden and Norway.Finland was a part of Sweden for centuries.Russia first annexed oue half and in 1808 seized the other half, but not until after a heroic struggle which is commemorated in the grandest Scandinavian epic of this age.The eyes of Europe were bent at the time upon Napoleon; otherwise, the Russian conquest of Finland would have held a place in history with the throttling of freedom in Poland.Some of the incidents, as when one Finnish soldier Leld a narrow bridge for many minutes against a large force of Russians, falling just as the Swedish army came up to the post which hig valor had saved for them, compare with tne noblest achievements on record.A people of this kind will not yield their liberties without a struggle.The Western shore of Finland is chiefly settled by the Swedish race, and most of these would either figh: or emigrate.As stated in a previous despatch, many thousands have already emigrated.\u2014\u2014, BISMARCK THE PEACE MAKER.A Review and Defence of His Policy.[Copyright by Press Union.] BERLIN, April 6\u2014Her Wasmann, a life long friend of Bismarck, in an interview to-day said that the allusion to Bismarck as the \u201cman of blood and iron\u201d is altogether unjustified, asthe whole poiitical career of the ex-Chancellor shows him to bave been a man of peace.\u2018Prince Bismarck\u2019s experience at the Liet of Frankfort,\u201d Herr Wormanns continued, \u201cconvinced him that there was not room enough in Germany for both Austria and Prussia.It became bis object to turn out Austria, and he never concealed his intention to accomplish it.He was ready to make a bargain 80 long as he was required to cons cede nothing essential, but when a bargain on those terms was not to be had he accepted a conflict, for which he knew Prussia was ready, and the result jnsti- fied bis foresight.In the settlement after Badowa he exerted himself for a restraint, which was his greatest achievement.The soldiers were against him, for they trusted their sirength, but he looked far ahead, advocated moderation as the right way to secure the future gcod wul of of the temporary enemies.In this way he gained over South Germany within a year or two, and Austria a few years later.TRE CONELICC WITH FRANCE was Leld to be inevitable afte the defeat of Austria.The military leaders were able to take it up at any time.Indeed, the general staff was ready in 1866 to enter Vienna at the risk of having the French army on their flank.In 1868, when the Luxemburg dispute arose.The military administration was for accepting the French challenge, but Bismarck was for a compromise if it couid be effected honorably.He held that a war postponed may be a war prevented, In 1870 the conditions were different.The challrnge was given to Germany in a manner which left no alternative.The theory that Bismarck had conjured it up by some deep laid 1lot is à fiction of his enemies.In the a 01k that followed, of giving a political form to German unity, the Chancellor kept the most moderate programme.When the terms of peace with Francs came to be settled, Bismarck was again for moderation.THE ANNEXATION OF ALSACESLORRAINE was forced upon him by the soldiers and by the public opinion created by the bis- torical school.His chief object since the treaty of Frankfort has been to keep the peace, while consolidating the power and influence of Germany.He has never taken a narrow view of the means to secure this end.In 1878 he made every possible concession to Russia.When he afterwards saw that he had galned nothing by this course, except an uncertain peace, he made the alliance with Austria and Italy which still exists.This enabled bim to weather the very dangerous crisis occasioned by the union of the two Bulgarias.It is the simple truth that for twenty years Prince Bismarck has been a power working for peace.\u201d The German Emperor has in view far more sweeping legislation than the ex-chancel- lor would have tolerated and will uss the resources of the State far the benefit of the working classes on a scale hitherto untried, thus outbidding the social democratic agitators for the support of the masses.Such a programme will not be acceptable to the well-to-do classes, who feel that the pocket of the State is their pocket, and that what is given to the \u201chave nots\u201d must be contributed by those who have.\u2014- A FAMOUS LIGHT EXTINGUISHED.Accident at the Bell Rock Lighthouse.Loxpon, April 6.\u2014A fog signal in the famous Bell Rock lighthouse on the Scotch coast exploded prematurely last night shattering the dome and extinguishing the light for the first time since the lighthouse was built in 1811.Fog siznala were emploved to warn vessels during the remainder of tie night, but one steamer narrowly escaped being wrecked on account of the absence of the beacon.me CABLE BREVITIES.BERLIN, April 6\u2014Councillor Striegan of Breslau was fired abthrough a window of a railway carriage at that place to-day, by unknown persons.The Councillor had just taken his seat in the carriage when the shot crasned through tie glass and grazed his head.His assailants escaped in the crowd.EERLIN, April 6.\u2014The Socialists of Hamburg have purchased the Hamburg I:cho, and

American Consul Plauen was entered a night or two ago by burglars and a jewel casket valued at $5,000 was stolen.The casket has since been found, but the contents had been abstracted.There is no clue to the thieves.Loxpox, April 6.\u2014RBerr Steimneitz, a leading banker of Nuremburz, has been obliged to suspend business owing to the failure of some important enterprises in which he has become

yesterday and left town to-day.re Strike of Hotel Servants.Loxpox, April 5,\u2014There is a singuiar strike in progress at the popular Savoy Hotel on the Thames embankment.A new manager was recently appointed who was unlucky enough to offend that powerful personage, the chef.The monarch of the kitchen struck work, and his sixty cooks followed his example.The waiters joined the strike and next come the maids and porters.The hotel is completely upset, and unless the manager makes terms with the chef the house will lose the benefit of the holiday trade, which is an important item,

Window, THE TAX ON PORK.Opposition of the Lumber Trade to the Tarif.Orrawa, April 5\u2014The new iariff duties on pork are unanimously denounced by the lumbermen and workingmen of Ottawa, and on the part of the lumber firms at least the most determined and active opposition is being shown as the following circular will testify : Cuauniere, Ottawa, 3rd April, 1890, Srr,\u2014 You no doubt are aware of the late increase made in the duty on pork, mess, being now $3.20 per barrel.Ail other brands $6.20 per barrel.The lumber merchants of this vicinity think that an effort should be made by the trade to avoid such a heavy additional tax on the lumber business, and with that object in view desire your attendance at the Russell House here, Tuesday, the 8th inst., at 10 o'clock a.m., to form one of a deputation to wait upon tue Minister of Finance and Customs.I need hardly impress on you the importance of having as large a deputation as possible, Ycnrs respectfully, G.B.GREENE, À reporter, called this morning at the offices of J.R.Booth & Co., R.Hardman & Co., Perley & Pattee, Bronson, Weston & Co, the Madawaska River Improvement Co.All these companies express themselves emphatically against the increased tax on pork aud declare their intention of sending delegates to Tuesday\u2019s meeting and their detormina- tion to support all opposition to this policy of the Government.Letters were received from prominent Conservative lumber men outside of Ottawa in answer to the above circular, promising to attend the meeting and urging that deputations of workingmen should also interview the Finance and Custom ministers.Several of the parties interviewed volunteered the same opinion and pointed out that imported pork is one of the staple fsods used by all laboring men.Shanteymen consume only the heaviest pork of from ten to fourteen pieces to the barrel, which Canadian farmers cannot produce, at least until the duty is removed from western corn.The lumbermen declared that the new duty on pork is a direct tax on the trade and a scheme for simply getting more money to squander under the pretence of giving protection to farmers, Every lumberman spoken to denounced the pork tax, but thought that there should be no expression of individual opinions until the meeting on Tuesday.Messrs.R.Hurdman & Co.received a consignment of pork this mora.ing, upon which the extra duty imposed by the resolutions now before Parliament amounted to eighty dollars per car load.\u2014_\u2014 THE WEEKS-SUTHERLAND CASE.Mrs.Weeks Seut Up For Trial.CHBARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I, April 5.\u2014 The final act in the Weeks-Satherlana poisoning preliminary examination took place this merning, when Mrs.Weeks was sent up to the Supreme Court for trial.The judges fixed the amount of bail 28 follows.Two sureties in tweuty- two fifty each and her own bouds for four thousand, The bonds were signed this evening by J.J.Davies and A .1.McLean.a DEATH OF JUDGE BOTSFOZD, Fall Through a Club Window.Moncron, N.B., April 6\u2014Judge Bots- ford fell through a second story window in the Moncton Club last evening and strack the sidewalk, 15 feet below, on his back.He was putting on his coat and is supposed to have fainted.He was picked up unconscious.It was found that no bones were broken, but that he had sustained serious internal injuries.He regained consciousness during the night, but could not say how the accident occurred.He grew steadily worse till noon to-day, when he expired.The internal injuries consisted of paralysis of the bowels, heart and spine.Deceased was seventy-seven years old and weighed over 200 lbs.He was a pioneer member of Royal Arch Masons, belonging to the lodge bearing his name.He was subject to fainting fits, to which cause his fall is attributed.Judge Bots- ford was born av Sackville, N.B,, in 1813, and came to Moncton in 1836 to practice his profession.The Botsford family bave taken a prominent part in New Brunswick and Canadian history, the deceased being the seventh son of the late Hon.Wm.Botsford, who was Speaker of the New Brunswick Assembly and a Judge of the Supreme Court of the Province.Judge Botsford represented West- moreland in the Assembly for many years, and was Speaker and Surveyor- General, His wife, three daughters and a son survive him.He was a brother of Senator Botsford.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 FROM THE DOMINION CAPITAL, Bridge Over the Gatineau-\u2014Trouble in St.George\u2019s Chureh\u2014New Telephone Service.Orrawa, April 5\u2014The Quebec Government propose to bridge the Gatineau river at Gatineau village, near the mouth of the Ottawa.On Monday evening next the annual Easter vestry of St.George\u2019s Church will be held, and the proceedings are likely to be marked by a good deal of acerbity, especially in view of recent events.A few days ago the members of the congregation who have vigorously protested against what they considered as Rev.Dr.Jones\u2019 ritualistic practices, entered into negotiations with the rector\u2019s supporters for the purpose of sesing if some amicable arrangement, which would be satisfactory to both parties, could not be arrived at.Accordingly two delegates from each side were appointed for the purpose ot consulting with the rector and arriving at some arrangement calculated to preserve peace for the future.When the subject was mentioned to the rector by two of his supporters, however, he flatly declined to entertain the project, declaring that he would maintain his position in the church, and said that the dissentients might go elsewhere and found another church, but that he would remain in possession in St.George's, Naturally enough the large majority of the congregations who have founded and belp St.George's felt disinclined to do this, especially when they reflected on the fact that they had expended on the church cash to the amount of $9,000, whilst those who supported the Rector have only pald $1,500.The estimated cost of the new Phone line, to be built by Ahearn & Soper, from Ottawa to Quebec, is $35,000.A number of prominent citizens have been interviewed on the subject of the vacancy in parliament for Ottawa city.The feeling seems to be general among lumbermen that, in view of the near termination of the present parliament, this being the last session, Mr.A.J.Christie, whose election address appears to-day, should be elected by acclamation, The Liberals are holding back, and it is pretty well understood that they will not nominate unless a second Conservative candidate should contest the vacancy with Mr, Christie, dividing the Conservative vote.Mr.J.R.Booth was waited on a couple days ago by several leading Conservatives and asked to allow himself to be put in the field.Mr.Booth returned his thanks for the proffered honor, but declined on the grounds that the pressure of business would not permit his acceptance.Mr.G.B.Pattee\u2019s name was currently mentioned to-day as a prubable Liberal candidate.A personal friend of Pattee\u2019s being seen, said ne did notthink there was anything in it, us Mr.Pattee is still in California, and had not yet recovered his health.Owing to the absence of Madame Laurier, Mrs.Mackenzie and other friends from the city, the usual Saturday reception in the Grand Union did not take place last night, The hearing of the case of Demers (the civil servant who was recently horsewhipped for seducing a girl) vs.Mrs.Nadon, in which the plaintiff charges the defendant with stealing $300 from bim, was continued before Magistrate O'Gara on Saturday.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 NOTES FROM ST.JOHNS, Speaker Marchand Meelis With an En thusiastic Reception \u2014 A Soldier\u2019s Body Found.[SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.| Sr.Jouxs, P.Q., April 5.\u2014An enthusiastic demonstration was given here tonight to-the Hon.F.G.Marchand, Speaker of the Provincial I :gislature, upon his return home from Quebec.The St.Johns band and about 1,000 citizens turned out, among whom were noticed the most influential of the town.The concourse met Mr.Marchand at the station on the arrival of the 4.30 train from Montreal and escorted him to his residence, amid great enthusiasm.One of the privates of the Infantry School named Herbert was drowned here last December and his body was found this morning floating in the river opposite the town.He was buried this afternoon with military honors from the Infantry School, the whole of B.company attending the last sai rites._\u2014 TELEGRAMS FROM TORONTO.New Amglican Church\u2014The Capsized Yacht\u2014Boom in Barley\u2014Haldimand Eletion\u2014Bricklayers® Strike.ToroNto, April 6\u2014A new Anglican Church was opened here to-day ia the eastern pars of the city.Itis called St.Matthews, and the rector is Rev.J.Scott Howard.A set of chimes costing $1,000 has been presented by Mr.McLean Euward.It has transpired that the yacht Idler, found capsized in the lake off tne exhibition grounds on Good Friday, be- louged formerly to G.B.Snaw, of Park- dale.He sold ber to Ernest Duval, who, with a couple of friends, went out sailing on Friday.The boat capsized and the the occupants were rescued.The barley market is getting a boom on in great shape and prices are advancing, but unfortunately it is too late in the season, farmers are about cleared out and many stocks in store are nearly used off.A lot of 10,000 bushels hardly equal to No.3 extra is held outside at 40c and some dealers say that round lots of No.3 extra cannot be got less than 42c, an advance of four cents in the past two days.A petition has been filed at Osgoode Hall against the return of Dr.Montague to the Dominion House as member for Haldimand at the election in February last.The petitioner is John W.Sheppard, and Returning Officer Peter Reicheld defendant.In the petition are charges of bribery by Montague personally as well as by his agents.There are also charges against the actions of Reicheld the returning officer.The Bricklayers\u2019 Union has decided not to formally declare a strike, but to declare that members would refuse to work for such bosses as would not grant the increased wage.The decision affects five hundred bricklayers, and the sane number of builders\u2019 laborers.Stonemasons will also remain idle, so that the total number of men affected will be fifteen hundred.> AN UNSAVORY REPUTATION.Charges Against a Baptist Minister, CHARLOTTETOWN, April 6.\u2014The report of a committee of sixteen members of the Baptist Church of this city, finding their late pastor, Rev.Edward Whitman, guilty on the following counts, was presented last night to the congregation : Associating with a young woman under an assumed name; misappropriation of church funds and untruthfulness.It was shown on the first that Whitman visited a young woman named Mary McWil- { liams at her father\u2019s residence, west of Summerside, under the name of George E.Churchill The matter was settled with the girl's father at the time by Whitman paying him a sum of money.Whitman claimed that he had letters in his possession which show that fhe action of McWil- liams was a blackmailing schems, but he did not produce these, saying that they were in the custody of his lawyer at Joliet, Illinois.He also asserts that the money he paid over to McWilliams bad been refunded.On the second charge defendent claimed the money had miscarried while in the hands of a second party in transit io the treasurer.He had given the treasurer a promissory note, which, however, was violated as it was in form of agreement.The committee refused to accept this alleged note and sustained the charge of misappropriation.The third count was sustained by written and verbal statements which were con clusive to the minds of the committee.Mr.Whitman was pastor of the Baptist church here for seven years, and is now pastor of a large church in Joliet, Illinois.He came here a few days ago to obtain his letter of dismissal, which had been refused by the congregation until the charges were disproved, FROM SPIRIT-LAND.A Spiritualistic Humbug Bowled Out by the Courts.SECRETARY BLAINE'S

Interviewed.WASHINGTON, April 6\u2014The State De- pariment is like aclam.It is practically shutup.The officials who are easy of access are not at liberty to say anything for publication, and Secretary Blaine, who is, is not to be seen.All efforts to find out anything about the recent or or pending negotiations about the fisheries question, or the seal fishery question in Bebring Sea, or the reciprocity negotiations with South American Republics, have been futile.The State Department officials will not even admit tbat such negotiations are in progress.They have even gone so far as to refuse to affirm that Mr.Charles Tupper was in Washington, when he could be geen any day at the Arlington Hotel, from which he has made frequent visits to the residence of Secretary Biaine, half a square distant.In fact, but little or no information of public interest is given out from the State Department, and Secretary Blaine, since the death of Walker Blaine, who was the medium of communication between the public and the secretary, has lost in the estimation of many of his warmest friends much reputation by his secretiveness about affairs, of which the public had a right to be informed.\u2014 PAN-AMERICAN RECIPROCITY.Senator Chandler Favors the Scheme.\u2018W AsHINGTON, April 5.\u2014Senator Chandler says that the first information he had had on the subject of the proposition to establish reciprocity as an offset to the proposed duty on hides was that which he obtained from reading the United Press despatch on the subject.\u201cI hava not given the subject extended consideration,\u201d he said, \u201c and I would not care to pass judgment upon it without careful consideration.I should be inclined to say though that we could well afford to establish reciprocal relations with any of the countries of the western hemisphere which would adopt our tariff system and schedules, 1 am quite inclined to believe that it would be wisa to establish these relations with all countries between the borders of Canada and the Isthmus of Panama.It would not be in any sense an abandonment of our system of protection, and it would guarantee to us the almost exclusive trade of this continent.In extending the boundaries of our tariff system along so much more of the coast line we would, of course.have to undertake the added responsibility of protecting ourselves from smuggling, but Iam inclined to think that we would reap a great advantage from the relation.\u201d \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 WATER FAMINE AT CINCINNATI.Awkward state of Things in the Suburbs.CINCINNATI, April 6.\u2014Clifton, an out- lving suburb, which has a contract with Cincinnati for its water supply, and Avondale, which has a similar contract, have had their water supply cut off for several days.Puice Hill, Walnut Hill and Mount Auburn, all within the city limits, are supplied with water only a few hours each day.There is not over a day\u2019s supply of water in the city

brokers\u2019 offices being generally closed until Tuesday.Banks were, of course, open for business, bat only those who had payments to make were on hand.The local market for sterling exchange was very dull, and rates were firmer.Between banks, sixty day bills sold at 9 1-18@9 3-16, aud demand 9 9-16@9 11-16.Over the counter rates were 92 for sixties, 95 for demand ; cables, 104.Posted rates in

discounts from 43 to 4 per cent., this making the third movement in the rate during a period of three weeks.The interest given by the joint stock banks for money on deposit is now only 2} per cent, and the discount houses are allowing 24 and 2$ respectively for money at call and notice.Excepting that the Bank of Belgium have lowersd their standard from 3% to 3 per cent, continental bank rates are unaltered.The reduction in the bank standard here having been generally looked for, the effect on the open market has been very slight, and at the moment the discount rate for three months\u2019 choice paper is firm at 21, as against 3 a week ago.Gold continues to flow to this country from abroad, but foreign exchanges have gone back, the Paris rate being now 25-23, à fall on the week of 2} centimes.The New York exchange shows very little variation ; and as regards the likelihood of gold being taken for Buenos Ayres, nothing fresh has transpired.For the rest of the current month money will probably command fairly good rates, Cape of Good Hope and Quesns- land loans being already before the public for sabecription, while a Victorian , issue for £4,000,000 is expected almost daily.In addition, Treasury bills for £2,500,000 are to be tendered for, payable ou the 28th inst., the mataring series being for nearly a half million less ; while of the latter a considerable amount has, itis known, already passed away from the money market.The India Coun- ¢il will also be calling in money, and altogether loans will be a good deal wauted up to the dividend payments early next month.In the stock markets the stagnation of business continues, the public almess wholly abstaining from transactions.Some Colonial government stocks have been depressed by the introduction of new loans, Queensland aud Cape issues having especially gone back, but Canadian government stocks sbow no alteration.In Provincial issues, bowever, British Columbia 43 per contr.ard the last issue of Quebec 5

own ana make à fe ir profit if the entire duty on raw aad refined sugar should be swept away.The United States, he said, could suc- cessfolly meet the competition of the outside world in this particular without reducing wages to the extent of a single cent, because of superiority in mechanical appliances hers, which reduces the actual cost of refining, even with the higher margin of wages, below the old world level.This testimony was coa- sidered by tbe country to be perfectly trustworthy when it was given.No refiner or any one else having a practical knowledge of the business attempted at that time to impeach its accuracy, nor has anybody tried to do it since then.The expert opinion here cited should be recalled by the people at this moment, when the represeatatives of the Trust are protesiing before the Ways and Means Committee azainst the cut on refined sugar which that body proposed.It is a fact of some interest to the people that the Western Republican members of the House insist that the cut is not deep enough, and that is should go farther.In this mauter the Trust represents a few dozen refiners, while the Western opponents of the Trust stand for the 65,- 000,000 consumers of sugar.No sensible, honest person doubts that the refiners could make reasonable profits if the margin of protection extended to them were even half of that proposed by th committee.\u2018Lhe Trust could, two vear- ago, have stood absolute fres trade, ac cording to one of its magnates, and no body imagines that its advautages ani tency in this direction have been les- eped in the interval\u2014St.Louis Glob: Democrat.\u2014\u2014\u2014 BOSTON PRODUCE MARKETS.Boston, April 5.Burrer.\u2014The butter market is in an easy position.The receipts of naw creameries are

nothing doing.The New York Commercial Bulletin of Saturday has the following review of the week\u2019s business: \u2018The market has been in very bad shape all the week.Fresh- made butter bas come forward very freely, and as is the case at this season of the year lacks keeping properties, and holders therefore bave urged ssles in every possible direction, but notwithstanding every inducement in way of lower prices and liberal terms it has besn impcssible to prevent stock from piling up in first bands.Prices have steadily declired every day and have ruled very irregular, as buyers have not been allowed to go away on any reagonable offer.At the close 23(@23ic are the extremes for Elgin creamery, and 21@213c for other finest Western, with just as geod quality obtainable at the lower as at the higher figure by shopping around.Slightest defects causs a drop to 19@20c, and really nice goods that on a quick market would pass with the best have been oblained at these latter prices.June creamery is very dull and weak.Really fine well-kept would be difficult to obtain below 12¢, or possibly 13¢, but equally as difficult to sell at those prices, while the bulk of the remaining stock is urged for sale at 6¢c to 8c.New State dairy tubs bave been plenty and declining with creamery, with 20¢ about all that can be depended upon at the close, though fancy selections of Delaware County occasionally held a trifle higher.Old State dairy very slow and weaker to sell, though some of the finest marks are held for a special trade.Fresh Western packed in moderate supply, but scarcely any wanted, and prices lower and uncer- sin.We quote as foilows :\u2014 ~Cents\u2014 Creamery .ooesesses 21 @23 Eastern TOWNships.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.16 @18 Morrisburg.15 @16 Brockville.36 @I7

are purely nominal, in the absence of any important transactions.Small lots of fine, white and colored are being taken by the retail trade at 10}c@10jc per lb.The New York Commercial Bulletin, of Children Crv for _ A.Pitcher\u2019s Castoria.Saturday, has the following review of week's business :\u2014Cheese down to present writing hes maintained a generally good position, with a further gain to the credit of the curren: week.[o be sure, the season has now reached a point where the division of the crop year takes place, and some of the trade seem to think that in view of the comparatively small remainder of old stock its tailing out is of no general consequence ; but there is a chance fur a great deal of dickering with the next four or five weeks, and the possibility of quite # flurry in values on the strictly fancy grades.White, in particular, is thought well of, and one party has already made a big move to control the supply by taking what was left in Montreal, the accumulation here already being 80 placed as to be practically an assistance to an effort for & rise.Colored is in somewhat less strong position than white, but owners are carrying it at about the usual relative difference in value.On the rest of the stock there has of late been a little irregularity.The count of supply on hand April lst did not indicate a very large quantity in the total of every quality, but recent demand was of somewhat less vigorous character, the season ls working along to a close and several holders of anything at all faulty seem to feel that delay in selling is not advisable whenever demand develops naturally, and in a few cases it has looked as though they felt like puslirg matters à little.The best move made was in securing an opening on foreign account fur quite a respectabie block of stock, includiug full-cream and fail-made light skims, very few of which would rank on the line of perfection, such as the Lome trade requires, but commanding rates about on a parity with quotations for sometime current, or say llc for colorad and lille for white where the buyer was not over nice in selection and the holder felt in any way anxious to secure custom.The main feature, however, is that it helps reduce the general stock, and if more demand comes from abroad may accomplish the stiffening some are calculating upon before new cheese is reached.At the best, however, the market is becoming a very small one and of no special importance as influencing matters bevond a few weeks, but affords an opportunity for operators to exploit that peculiar wisdom that always develops after a thing ie accomplished.The annual farce of \u201chow to make quotatiors\u201d is also being enacted by those who know, or think they know, all about it, and with the ewstomary ludicrous results.We quote the market as follows : ~Cents\u2014 Finest September.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.0.104@101 Medium.\u2026arososossanss \u201c10000 ve 94@10 Low grades.VO ae 6@7 Chicago Grain amd

as well as at home.Occasionally impracticable offers for important quantities for India and China, whieh have been hanging about for several days, have been slightly improved, but not to a sufficient

rushing in through a gap six hundred feet wide.The nuws of its collapse does not occasion any surprise.Most of the plantations atfocied are already more or less inundated by the waters from breaks lower down at Eastons and Huntingtons.Many of the best estates in the country will, however, be flooded to a very considerable depth.The bustling little town of Bolivar near by will, probably, be partially overflowed, although it stands on high groung.By adding to the volume of water from the breaks lower down the back country will also be invaded, and the difficulties of Greenville will probably be increased.CHICAGO.The Tribune this morning prints the following : Bishop Vincent, of Buffalo, whoisatthe Palmer House, considers the Bennet law issue in Wisconsin the most important event in the year.Before long, said the bishop, the Catholics and German Lutherans will condemn the compulsory education law in Illinois and other States.I have watched the progress of this issue in Wisconsin ever since Mr.Bennet framed the law which has become famous, and I believe the issue of compulsory education will supersede at the next Presidential election all tariff and other political interests.The great question as to whether Americans or Roman Catholics shall rule this country has reached a point where an open fight is inevitable.While the Americans have been sleeping the Roman Catholics have been laboring with untiring enargy and their efforts have not been futile.They are building up a power in this country which threatens to prove disastrous to the United States, Not only do most of the Roman Catholics put their children in parochial schools, but they place Catholic teachers in the public schools to exercise an influence over the children of other denominations.Smoke

firstly, those which are only skin decp (which are not now to be considered) ; secondly, those which are caused by a bad state of the blood, and which attack various parts of the body in different ways.Skin disease shows itself in the HEAD, sometimes in the form of Landruff, which no amount of brusbing and combing will get rid of, and sometimes in the form of Scaly Eruptions.In the NECK, by an enlargé- ment of the glands (commonly called Glandular 8wellings).which, it unchecked become very unsightly wounds.In the ARMPITS, and the inside of the ELBOWS, by an inflamed Roughness of the Skin, which is very painful when washed.In the HANDS, by deep Cracks or Fissures, which, if healed for a few days, speedily open again, or by horny-looking patches.In the LEGS, by Hard, Shiny and inflamed Swellings, or by wounds more or less deep.And on the BODY, in Red Scaly Patches, which as often as rubbed off, form again, or in the discharge of a thin, watery fluid of a very disagreeable nature.In all these cases the treatment must be twofold.An Ointment is required to relieved Itehing, and medicine must be taken to change the state of the Biood, aud render it pure.;

present.Commodore G.H.Duggan occupied tie chair.The minutes were first read, foilwed by the reading of the treasurers statement, which showed the club to be in a sound financial condition, there being a balance of one hundred dollars to carrv over for the coming year.The secretary\u2019s report stated that, in submitting the second annual report, the committee had mach pleasure directing the attention of the members to the very gatisfactory advancement the club had made during the past season.The list of members had greatly increased and large additions bad been made, and were still being made to the club fleet, both sail and steam, the two combinsd placing the club well to the front amongst the yacht clubs of Canada.The club greatly needed a club house or rooms, especially during tbe long winter months.go that the members could congregate and read the yachting journals and record of the club.A lively hope was ex- preesed that the incoming committee would see their way clear to procure & gite for the same.In the meantime the club was greatly indebted to the M.A.A.A.for the free use of their rooms for the holding of meetings, &c.The report then went on to give in detail the results of the club\u2019s races, which have al ready appeared in lug Heravo from time to time.They comprised eleven sailing races, with sixty-six entries asd two steam yacht races with fourteen entries, making a capital show ing for one season's work, and that, too, only the second season of the club.\u2018he report concluded with calling attention to the socials held by the club in the M.A.A.À.rooms during the past season.These bad been fairly well attended, and the interesting papers read by the commodore and Mr.Gibeun, as well as the knotting classes, would no doubt bring forth good results during the coming season, which, from present outlooks, bids fair to be a very prosperous one.General business was then taken up, the first item being a recommendation from the committee that an amendment to the sailing rules be made, compelling all yachts and boat owners to carry lifebelts, or equivalent life-saving apparatus, under pain of being disqualitied in races.After discussion the matter was left to the incoming committee to deal with it.On motion the new office of honorary commodore was created, but by general acquiescence the appointment was left open to a future meeting.Mr.E.Kerk Green then moved \u201cthat a committee be appointed to select a site uring the coming eeagon for the erection of a permanent club house for the storage cf the club\u2019s boats and also club rooms fos the members.The motion was carried and Messrs.E.Kerk Green, C.H.Lavigne and J.Smith were elected a subcommittee by a unanimous vote.A motion was then made to the effect that time allowances be extended to skiffs as well as yachts.An amendment reading that the iength plus beam be considered in the rating was ultimately carried.An amusing discussion then ensued as to the desirability of tbe members adopting a club uniform.One member thoaght a cap with the club colors would Le sufficient, but this was thought to be too airy a costume, and a modest member quietly suggested that a jersey be added.Amidst much laughter another member still more retiring wantad a pair of boots, but a still more esthetic \u201cOscar Wildonian\u201d was of the opinion that a pretty badge of the club's colors was all sufficient to adorn the handsome forms of the St.Lawrence river Naree.\u2018This was thought \u201ctoo utterly too too\u201d by the rest of those present and amidst roars of laughter the idea was allowed to lie over for the present.After this humoristic diversion, the meeting once more settled down to business for the election of oflicers which resulted as follows : Hon.Commodore.Commodore \u2014G.H.Daggan.Vice-Commodore\u2014A I:vine.Rear-Commodore\u2014k.J.Beama\u201d.Secretary\u2014D.A.Poe.Treasurer\u2014A.G.Walsh.Meagurers\u2014J.T.Gibson,

to Mr.Gibson for the valuable services he had rendered to tbe club during the past geason.This was happily agreed to.A vote of thanks to the commodore brought the most harmonious meeting to a close.A NEW CLASSIFICATION ADOPTED.The Corinthian Yacht Club, of New York, has adopted the system of classification by corrected lengths, and fixed the following arrangement of classes : (lass A, under 20 feet ; class B, 20 to 25 feet ; class C, 25 to 30 feet; class D, 30 to 40 feet ; class E, 40 to 50 feet ; class F, 50 to 60 feet.These classes will apply to the Corinthian Yacht Club's spring regatta, which is to be sailed Wednesday June 18, cver tke regular club course.The sub-division of clagses is probably the best that has yet been adopted by any of the clubs.The class of 40 to 50 feet is intended to meet the conditions of all the existing forties on this side, and will also admit any such boats as the English 20-raters, or any new boats that may be built to compete in that class.The class of 50 to 60 feet will also be found to include a fine lot of boats like Clara, Whileaway, Atbelon, Cinderella, QOriva, Daphne, Bertie, Isle, etc.Bowling, XO.2 TEAM DEFEAT No.1 TEAM.A bowling

down on ope side, and black.broad-rimmed felt bats.Such an outfit is not very well adapted for a baseball uniform, still the monks played a fairly good game.Tba catching was especially good.Long flies were almost sure to be gathered in by the outfielders, but grounders invariably went through the infielders, who would then gather up their long robes and scamper after the ball.\u201d Hunt.THE

opening of the 14-inch balk line handicap billiard tour- pament at the Central Music Hall tonight was a big success.The greater portion of the large auditorium was occupied by club men with their ladies in kniliant and showy costumes, and the crowd numbered upwards of 3,000 enthusiastic men and women, who were interested in the game from beginning to end.The tourney waa opened by Geo.T.Slos- son, of New York, 500 points, and Wm, H.Cotton, of Rock Island, 111,250 points.Henry Rhines, of Chicago, was referee.and the veteran Chas, Matthews, of Chicago, marker.Cotton won the bank and chose the black ball.He counted two and misged on a provoking Kiss.Blos- son\u2019s hands were cold and he sat down with a single point.The westerner was nervous for some time, but earned the crowd\u2019s plaudits in the fifch inning by a beautiful long rail massee.Slosson lost the balls in the second inning on a kiss and in the third on a difficult open tabla table carom.In the sixth Slosson had the ivories anchored, but lost them after counting twenty.Cotton caught the spheres shortly in an upper corner and manipulated them for 19 and found the anchor.He continued to nurse them deftly, tied and pa-sed Slogson\u2019s best run, toyed with the balls masterly, lost the anchor, counted open table shots and was kissed off after counting 47.Slosson answered with 19 crackers.Cotton opened the 11th with a tremendous 4 cushion point and before he sat down scored 22 of as pretty billiards as could well be seen.Then both encountered bad positions but Cotton was gaining on the New Yorksr on the handicap basis, the score being 112 to 165 for 14 innings.Slosson started the next with a sky rocket and went earnestly to work to gan his necessary points.He tapped the balls along the rail, nursed them with tender caresses, made draws, banks, masses, open table and all sorts of brilliant caroms, and rested with 135 points, after an exhibition of which a master alone could be capable.The score now was, Slosson 300, Catton 121.In the seventeenth ianing Slosson found the globes in a soft place and worked them to his credit for 77 buttons, the last 20 of which were beauties.Catton seemed to be getting wrecked on a sea of ill luck and extremely rattled.Again Slosson grabbed his stick, and after a half dozen punches brought the balls to anchor.From the subsequent nurse he extracted 50 more, then played around 1be table for 18, and sat down with a total of 84.Catton counted only one in three innings, when his opponent walked o the table and plunked out 42 easy caroms and won the game.The score was as follows : Slosson \u2014 1 33 23 71120 21913 921 0131 35 277 5 74 42\u2014500.Cattoo\u2014 23051427 4700240690 120 1 0\u2014134 Averages\u2014Slosson, 25 ; Catton 614-20.Heiser and Ives

be free men,\u201d He contended that, although living in a free country.people were often subjected to slavery of the worst description, the taskmasters being business, pleasure, worldliness and ignorance.How great was the tyraony ot these taskmasters when even such a sacred festival as the Passover failed to draw some people to the house of God.lt seemed as if nothing but sici- ness und death could direct their thoughts to religion.The sermon concluded with an earnest appaal for an effort to cast off the yoke of irreligion.The Rev.E.Friedlander officiated in the M~Gill College Avenue Synagogue, and in the reformed Temple Emanuel the services were conducted by the Rev.Mr.Eisenberg.5 Cents.ACADEMY OF ARTS.Arrangements Being Made for the Exhibition and Annual Meeting.Mr.E.Byron
