says: The point that concerns men of other countries is not who directs the policy of Germany, but what course will it take?Prince Bismarck, though he could not always be interpreted with certainty, represented, in the main, known ideas, prominent among which was the status quo.William IL in all probability has pienty of definite ideas, but at preseat his policy is known to the world at large only from his speeches, Between speeches and acts there is often a great gulf, \u2018The Emperor has, for instance, declared in the most positive language that his chief aim 18 peace.So bas every monarch and every statesman within the memory of the oldest diplomat.But experience shows that it is one thing to aim at peace and another thing to secure it.The difficalty comes when the Choice has to ba made between this aim and some other aim whicn happens, by the force of circumstances, tobe incompatible with it, For this reason time alone can restore the confidence which has bsen shaken by Prince Bismarck\u2019s retirement.The Emperor, in his speech at the opening of the new Reiclistag, may reassure the public.Such a declaration will be joyfully accepted for what it is worth, a quantity which can only be determined by experience.\u201d A PERILOUS JOURNEY.Dangling Helplessly From a Balloon.Loxpon, April 7\u2014An American, named Matthews, attempted to drop from a balloon by the aid of a parachute at Croydon to-day, and came very near losing his life, The balloon had reached a great height when Matthews made his leap, but it was not so high that the great crowd of spectators were not able to see that he had become entangled in the cording of the air ship and was dangling helplessly underneath his car, the baloon meanwhile drifting away while gradually descending.In this Wiy

predicted.lf CABLE BREVITIES.~ Sr.PETERSBURG, April 7.\u2014The police have arrested & Nihilist charged with having been implicated in the murder of Prefect Mesenoff.CONSTANTINOPLE, April 7.\u2014On

Ontario House closed \u2018this afternoon.The Lieutenant-Governor\u2019s speech referred to public measures passed having for their object the improvement of municipal law and the better administration of justice, the simplification of procedure in respect of mechanics\u2019 liens, the promotion of agricultural interests and protection of valuable live stock, and the amendment of the registry laws and insurance laws, which, he said, he was persuaded, in the public interest, would be found to have been framed with due appreciation of the ends to be attained.He said :\u2014I cordially approve of the amendments made to the public and separate schools acts.I cannot dismiss the subject of education without referring to the excellent impression made everywhere by the intimation that a sister province has donated to the University of Toronto a subsiantial sum to assist in rebuilding tbat institution.I am pleased to note that the measure which you have adopted providing mining regulations has met with the general approval of those engaged in mining operations.The act will doubtless be of service in promoting the safety, health and comfort of the operatives, and gives assurance that work in the mines cf the province will be carried on npon improved methods.The measure amending the general mining act will afford to those desirous of purchasing mining lands facilities tor transactivg much of their busineas in the localities in which the lauds lie and for obtaining the information necessary to applications for purchasing.The amendments made to the free grants and homestead act will, I trust, beneficially affect not only those who may be withia its immediate operation, but the free grant districts generally.The speech exprasses a belief that the abolition of certain exemptions from municipal assessment will be found to be in the public interest Pleasure is expreseed atthe amendments made in the liquor license law and at the increasing amount of private legislation enacted during the session.The concluding paragraph is as follows : \u201cIt now devolves upon me to bring to MONTREAL.TUESDAY.eral Tee | \u2018When Baby wes sick, we gave her

the civil assize court to-day, before Judge McMahon, the investigation of the interesting White Cap case from Lambton Mills was commenced.Wm.F.Lawson, the victim, brings action against Isaac Scott, Wm.Traplin, Richard Walker and Wm.Clayton for $10,000 damages for a wanton assault committed upon him on the evening of Nov.26th last.Lawson was the first witness called.He testified that on the evening of November 26 he was in his house at Lambton Mills, when four or five men rushed in and caught hold of bim.They charged him with abusing his wife, and carried him out into a yard where there was a pump used commonly by his family and Traplin\u2019s, next door neighbors.Here Traplin took him by the throat and while Walker held his hands the others pumped water on him.After half drowning him they let him go, when he proceeded to Traplin\u2019s house and demanded to see his wife.He was refused admittance, and was again seized by Jackson and Clayton, while the other defendants rammed a rough pole between his legs and danced him about the house.He refused to get down on his knees and beg his wife's pardon, as they demanded, when they again geized him and marched him up and down the streets.Lawson denied that he had ever abused or struck his wife.Mrs.Lawson, on being called, repudiated her former statements that her husband had illtreated her.She acknowledged that she had a discoloration of one of her eyes, but said that her husband did rot cause it.The trial was adjourned until this morning.+ pe een Prince Albert Victor of Wales.Carro, April 7.\u2014Prince Albert Victor

British East Africa company for allowing American and Russian sportsmen to exhaust for mere pleusnre the resources of their territory.It would be far better to allow Germany to control the district.She would, at least, prevent buccaneering.rt Accident to a N.Y.Bankor.New York, April 7.\u2014Cublegrams received by the Morgan family to-day state that Mr.Julius 8.Morgan, the aged banker,

7.\u2014The funeral of the Hon.Charles Alleyn, this morning, was largely attended by judges and sfficials of the courts, Mayor Fremont and many members of the City Council and Parliament.The legislature and the Bar wera well represented.The remains were iu- terred in the family vault in Woodfi>ld Cemetery.The flag at the City Hall was at half-mast in respect for Mr.Alleyn\u2019s memory, as the late Sheriff was Mayor of Quebec in 1854, Two new bridges over the river Baau- rivage, a tributary of the Chaudiere, were inaugurated at St.Etienne, county of Levis, with imposing ceremonies.The new structures were solemnly blessed by Rev.Mr.Roy, cure of the parish, and appropriate addresses wera delivered by Messrs.Guay and Lemieux, members for the county, to whose energy for securing Government aid the successful completion of the work is largely due.Each bridge has a span of one hundred and thirteen feet, constructed on the Howe truse-principle, composite wood and iron, supported on two crib- work pieces filled with stone and having trestle approaches.The contract was executed by Mr.Louis Leclerc, from plans by Mr.Vallee, Government engineer.An immense crowd was present, including many prominent citizens of Quebec and Levis.A couple of schooners from the lower parishes came into port yesterday, the first arrivals of the season.A signal service report from Cape Ray says: Two schooners were lost off there on Wednesday.Crew saved.The schooners were crushed by the ice.IMPROVEMENT IN BRITISH TRADE.Coincident Falling Off of Emigration.LoxpoXN, April 7.\u2014The statistics sub mitted by the authorities in charge of British emigration, show that since January 1 emigration to America hag decreased 8,000 below that for the corresponding period of 1889.This falling off, it is represented, is due to the fact that wages have increased at home until they are quite as high, and in soma cases higher than the rates paid for similar employment in America, while the opportunities for obtaining work here are equally good.These evidences of improvement are attested by the fact that the number of immigrants arriving in England from foreign countries havo increased since January lst by more than 8,000 in comparison with the months of January, February and March, 1589.KINGSTON NEWS NOTES.Dreadful Fate of Three Miners\u2014Body Identified.KixosToN, Ont, April 7\u2014The two young men, Coulson and Lloyd, who went ous for a row on Friday last are undoubtedly drowned.Their skiff has been found on the beach at Wolf Island badly

the mine at the foot of the inclined railway, up which a few min- utes previously a car load of SUBSCRIPTION copper had been sent The car was drawn offby a wire cable which worked about a steam wrench, The car had almost reached the surface when the cable snapped, and with great force it ran downward.Before the miners could be made aware of the accident, the car reached them and nurdled them to death.The bodies were sadly mangled from the force with which they were struck and the jagged rocks in which they were thrown.The body found in the bay at Portsmouth vn Saturday has been identified as that of William Green, who has been missing since the 9th of January.A PRIVATE PUMMELLING MATCH.One of the Fighters at Death\u2019s Door.\u2018Wartersury, Conn.April 7.\u2014Thos.Peters and Lewis Carr quarrelled in Harvey\u2019s pool rooms Friday night, and adjourned their fight to the Waterbury ball grounds to settle an old grudge.Both were terribly pounded during the mill, and Peters so badly that he had to be carried home by companions, and since then he has been inseo- sible.The matter was concealed by his friends to avoid prosecution.Physicians to-day found a portion of Peters\u2019 skull had been driven against his brain and this p.m.ordered the arrest of Peters\u2019 assailant and all the assailants.Lewis Carr is in custody and the police are looking for Daniel Carr, his brother, who, it is said, kicked Peters in the head.The doctors trepanned Peters\u2019 skull, but think he cannot live.Petera hails from Winsted.Both Carrs have bad reputations.CE THE U.S.TARIFF CHANGES May Net Take Effect This Session.WASHINGTON, April 7.\u2014Representative McMillan, one of the Democratic mem- ters of the Ways and Means Committee, is quoted as saylng he does not believe that there will be any tariff legislation during the present session of Congress.He bases his opinion on the fact that the two parties are so widely divided ou the subject, and that there are two or mors factions in the Republican party on seve eral important schedules.It may be possible for the Republicans to force the McKinley bill through the house, but it will probably be so late in the present gession that the Senate will not have time to consider it.On the other hand, Republican members ot the Senate Committee on Finance say they will be ready to pass a bill almost as soon as they receive it from the house.-\u2014\u2014 PENSION FOR MES.PARNELL.Recognition of Old Time Service.W'ASHINGTON, April 7\u2014The House committee on pensions to-day authorized a favorable report on

A.M.Stanton for $150,000 a year ago caused the suspension.LATER PARTICULARS.Sistaire\u2019s Sons had been in business 40 years, A member of the firm stated tonight that the defalcation of the Philadelphia representative of the house amounted to over $100,000.He would not say how much more.The shortage, he said, was known bafore Hilger\u2019s death, which occurred March 29th.He would not say whether proceedings had been taken against the defaulter, nor whether Hilger had committed suicide, nor what was the cause of his death.No statement of the firm\u2019s affairs could be made until to-morrow.The firm expected to resume shortly, as they bad no liabilities outside of the Philadelphia office.Street rumors plate the firm\u2019s liabilities at $500,000 and ths defalcation at about the same figura.Two years ago A.M.Stanton, the Detroit manager for the firm, caused a loss of $150,000 by falsifying his accounts, bat the firm recovered from this blow and continued to enjoy a high credit._\u2014 Burdock Blood Bitters is a medicin» made from roots, barks apd herbs, and is the best known remedy for dyspepsia, constipation and biliousness, and will cure all blood diseases from a

White House.DODGING THE NIAGARA FALLS.A New Rival to the Welland Canal.WASHINGTON, April 7\u2014The committee on railways and canals to-day reported favorably on a bill introduced by Representative Payne, of New York, directing the United States to make a ship canal around Niagara Falls from a point on Lake Ontario to & point on Lake Erle.The bill provides that the canal shall be constructed along one of the routes for such a project heretofore surveyed.The route favored is 31 miles long.It is yrovided that the canal shall be lccated by a board composed of five persons to be appointed by the president.Two of them are to be chosen from the engineer corps of the army, two are to be civil engineers of recognized skill, and the other is to be, in the language of the bill, \u201ca distinguished American citizen.\u201d The bill, as introduced, provides that the fifth member should be chosen from the Chicago Board of Trade, but this was struck out in the committee, The Board is directed to make examinations of the existing surveys and to arrange all preliminary details for carrying out the project.For this work $10,000 is appropriated.For beginning the project $1,000,000 is appropriated by the bill.The canal is intended as an offset to the Welland Canal on the Canadian side of the Falls.Under treaty provisions the United States is allowed to keep but one gunboat in the great lakes, and it would be utterly impossible because of this to concentrate a squadron quickly and effectively in the event of war.It is also intended to protect American vessels against what is claimed to be unjust discrimination in violation of the treaty stipulations by the Canadian Government in the Welland canal.The treaty with Canada provides that no discrimination shall be shown in the canal, but Canada allows a drawback of 20 per cent.on duties for every cargo landed in Canada.This is claimed to be an injustice to American vessels.The proposed canal is to be 20 feet deep and 100 feet wide at the bottom and its estimated cost about $23,000,000.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 A LOCOMOTIVE STOPPED THE FIGHT.Terrible Fate of the Contestants, NewsurGH, N.Y., April 7.\u2014Last night about 11 o\u2019clock two Italians, residing at Tompkin\u2019s Cove, were returning home on the West Shore tracks from a jollification.When near Tompkin\u20193 Cove the men had a quarrel over something and proceeded to settle their differences by a fist fight.So interested did the men become in pummelling each other that they did not hear an approaching train.Notwithstanding the engineer did all in his power to bring the train to a standstill, his efforts were without avail, and the locomotive struck them, kiiling one instantly and crushing the skull of the other.Both bodies were brought hers, and the injured man (Michael G.Babe cock) was taken to St.Luke\u2019s hospital.\u2014_\u2014 AN EASTERN CUSTOM.Rolling the * Pasch Eggs.\u201d \u2018WasaINGTON, April 7.\u2014Ten thousand jolly, rollicking, tumbling children and 20,000 eggs, the children, like the oges, variegated in color and in different sizes rolling over each other iz bewildering confusion was the scene presented in the White House grounds on this Easter Monday morning, and baby McKee was one of the jolliest of the number.No such sight is elsewhere to be witnessad.It has long been observed here, and Easter Monday is looked forward to by the children of Washington with almost as much interest as Christmas.The day was balmy and bright, the grass green and the trees in the executive mansion grounds were awaking to the gentle touch of spring and putting forth their leaves.All the avenues of approach to the White Heuse were early alive with children and nurses and parents.The inevitable basket, with colored eggs, was an invariable companion.Opce upon the ground, without eoncert of action, the little ones rolled their eggs down the sloping hills and tumbled after them themselves, The music of the Marine Band

still have a quieting effect in financial circles.There was no meeting of the Stock Exchange, and members were generally alsent from their offices, though some with Now York aad Chicago connections were open until 3pm.No cable quotations were received from England.The banks were also closed and the holiday was pretty generally observed.New York Stock Market.This market opened with a weak appearance, but there was a slight reaction at the close.Rock Island broke to 91 goon after the opening, but improved to 92.St.Paul sold down to 68} and Union Pacific declined 1} to 613, but improved to 62 towards the close.Reading was very weak and broke 1} to 40%.Lacka- wanna declined to 133}.Money was quiet and easy.The unfavorable bank statement had a depressing influence on he market.[SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.] New York, April 7\u2014Money closed at 2 per cent., the lowest rate; the highest rete was 5.Exchange closed steady ; posted rates, $4.85% @ $4.88; actual rates, $4.513@%$4.85 for 60 days, and 4.874 (@4.87% for demand.; .The stock market this morning was extremely dull, only 86,000 shares changing hands up to noon.The tone of speculation was weak, and prices declined almost uninterruptedly up to midday.There was considerable selling to realize, and some shorts selling, which materially aided the weakness.The noteworthy declines were: Canada Southern 4, Ohicago Gas 3, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy §, Lacka- wanna 4, Lake Erie and Western 4, M.O.P.#, Missouri Pacific preferred 3, Oregon \u2018Transcontinental, #; Reading, 1}; Rock Island, #; Union Pacifc, 18.The bears helped the decline by circulating a report from Chicago to the effect that the Union Pacific, Northern Western alliance was an inseparable obstacle to the proposed new Interstate Association.There was no increase in the epeculation this evening, but the tone was firmer and prices recovered fractionally by 2 o'clock.About 2.30 the announcement of the failure of Geo.K.Sistare & Sons reached the Exchange.The failure was attributed to a heavy defalcation in their Philadelphia branch.The liabilities of the firm on the Btock Exchange were very small, and hence the failure had very little effect on values.The closing prices were generally :(@1% r cent below those of yesterday.Total sales, 150,363 shares.Canadian Securities.{London Canadian Gazette, March 27.] The low rate at which the Treasury bills were allotted on Monday was taken as some confirmation of a previously- formed impression as to the likelihood of a reduction in Bank of England charges, and three months\u2019 choice papar can now only be obtained under discount of 2É per cent.per annum, compared with 2{ a week ago.The Stock Exchange has continued in a very stagnant condition, and no expansion in business is looked for until the middie of April at the earliest, in view of the interruption caused by the Easter holidays.As regards Canadian descriptions, no alteration bas taken place in Dominion Govera- ment and Provincial issues, while Winnipeg 6 per cents of 1875 have risen.In railways, Grand Trunk stocks have been weak, partly onsome difficulties by an operator at Edinburgh, while sales have been made in anticipation of some loss of traffic when the Canadian Pacific enters Chicago in the course of a few weeks.Canadian Pacific shares have been firm, but only a small offering of stock succeeded in carrying the price back to 74.The traffic return issued yesterday was exceedingly satisfactory, and prompted a few purchases, but with a cessation of the demand the quotation gradually fell away to its present level of 744.In other railway issues Quebec Central prior lien and income bonds are 1 higher, while Windsor and Annapolis preference shares have gone back #.The disappointing result of the Hudson's Bay fur sales has caused a drop of à in the shares, and Canada North-West Land have also been easier.The following are the prices of the leading Canadian

Steel\u2014 Light Trade in Minor Metals.(N.Y.Commercial Bulletin.) The several branches of the iron and steel trade appear to be in practically the same position that they were during the fore part of the week.Low prices have helped along the consummation of more or less business that had previously been ander negotlation, but new orders fail, as yet, to reach anything like extensive proportions, and there are no signs of à turn for the better in values.Production is on a large scale all along the line, and among the prominent steel- making establishments the tendency is towards further expansion of output, with the introduction of the most modern improvements for quick work and low cost a conspicuous feature.This is particularly the case in and around Pitts- urg, where the lerge establishments seem to be breaking previous records in their make of various forms of steel.The new additions to the Allegheny Company\u2019s plant make that concern & more formidable competitor than ever and returns from the Carnegle and Edgar Thompson establishments reveal some remarkable achievements on their part.Meanwhile the out-turn of cruds materials continues on a large scale, and prices for the latter keep down on a level with present selling rates for the productions of the mills.It is stated that a great deal of Bessemer pig, steel billets, etc.previously held by speculators, has been thrown over during the past week, and the extremely low prices reached are attributed in a good measure to those sales.It is yet an open question, however, whether manufacturers will be able to bring prices up to a high level in the near future in the face of the enormous capacity of their works and the unenviable condition of affairs in many of the minor industries.The latest advices at hand by cable indicate that European markets are even more depressed at the present time than they were a week ago, and new orders seem to be as unsatisfactory there as on this side of ihe Atlantic.The speculative brauches are shown to be very unsettled, with the latest cables quoting 478 11d for Scotch warrants, 493 114d for Middlesbrough and 58s 6d for hematite.Earopean depression has a certain degree of ucfavorable influence on this side of the Atlantic, but it is to be remarked that the lowest prices thus far reached in the foreign market do not admit of anything like general compe- tion here with home productions.Southern producers are yet very.fres sellers of pig iron, and several companies have made still lower prices for Eastern deliveries.It is emphatically denied, bowever, that strictly No.1 X foundry has been either sold or offered at $16.50 here, but admitted that desirable orders would probably be taken at $17.50 for No.1 and $17, or possibly $16.50, for No.2.Very few Southern concarns have apy considerable stock of the higher grade, as a matter of fact, and it is no secret that their current production contains but a small percentage of the same.There is an abundance of No.2 and \u201csilvery\u201d iron, however, and the statement has circulation that some New York firms are endeavoring to sell the inferior article for No.1.Repetition is given the statement that the low quotations made by some Southern companies are a part of * freezing out\u2019 tactics adopted to dishearten stockholders who oppose a consolidation of two prominent concerns, but the foundation of this statement seems to be rather slender, although talk of financial stringency being an incentive to free selling movement is common.Pennsylvania foundry iron prices cannot be quoted with any accuracy atthe moment.The appearances are that it would be a very difflcult matter to sell at above $18 for No 1 X, or $17 for No.2 X, and buyers claim they have very good reason to believe that the standard brands may be had at those figures.Prices for Bessemer pig are still very irregular, ranging between $18 and $19.50, according to location of furnace.Scotch pig has limited sale, and the market is still in pure shape abroad.The nominal prices are $25.50@$26 for Coltness, $25 for Summerlee, $22.50@ $22.75 for Daimellington, and $21.25@ $21.50 for Eglinton.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Smoke Hand-Made Cigar Nectar 5 Cents * WERELY REVIEW OF THE HAVANA MARKET.[Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce} Havana, March 29, 1890, Sucars \u2014Owing to advices of a worae character received from the United States, speculators, who were the only buyers in the market, were compelled to suspend operations, and as three-quarters of the sugar in stores has already passed into their possession, it is difficult to know, taking in consideration the high prices they have been paying from the beginning, what will be the final results of their operations.After declining continually, the market closes today very quiet and weak, as per following quotations : Cantrifugals, 95 to 97 test, in hogsheads and bags, 5}@5% 18.; molasses sugars, 86 to 90 test, in hoysheads and bags, at 4@43 rs.; mus- covadoes, 88 to 90 test, in hogsheads and bags, at 4@4} rs.Sales effected during the week add up as follows: 23,930 bags centrifugals, 97 to 96 teat, at from 6.19 to 6 rs.at Havana and 6.55@5.68% rs.on the coast;

they are the deliberately expressed opinions of a straight Conservative journal which on many questions gives steady support to the policy of the Dominion Government.What the Macleod Gazette says, however, constitutes an emphatic endorsement of the position taken on this question by THE Hrraup and other Liberal papers, by the Liberal opposition in the House of Commons, by Parliamentary supporters of the Government from the Northwest, and by honest Con- gervatives and Conservative journals everywhere, when they can muster up courage enough to give expression to what they believe.That the Dominion Government's \u201c immigration policy \u201chas proved to be a most dis- \u201cmal failure \u201d was proved beyond dispute in the House of Commons in the discussion on the immigration estimates.The answers cf ministers, particularly the Minister of Agriculture, showed that the Immigration department was ina state of chaos, that the money spent on immigration was absolutely wasted, that the departmental statistics of immigration in the country were incorrect and thoroughly unreliable, that, in fact, the Minister of Agriculture was, by the system forced on him, necessarily helplessly and hopelessly ignorant of the work of this branch of his department.Our Northwest contemporary takes the figures furnished by the Minister of Agriculture and proves thereby that, as between immigration and emigration, Canada last year lost 3,000 people.The Government spent $126,00C and say they brought 27,000 immigrants into the country as compared with 37,000 the previous year.At the same time they admit that the exodus from the country for some years past amounted to 30,000 annually.As the Gazette pertinenily puts it : \u201c Dar- \u201cing the past year, then, there was a \u201c total loss in our population of 3,000, \u201cand it cost the country $126,000 to lose * that number of peopla.The total gain \u201cin two years is only 4,000, and, assum- \u201c ing that the expense connected with \u201cimmigration for the previous year was \u201c* equal to that of the past year, we find \u201c that a gain of 4,000 in population in \u201c two years cost us $252,000, or about a \u201c quarter ot a million dollars.In that \u201c two years over 60,000 people entered \u201c* Canada, and of that number only 4,000 \u201c remained.This cannot be considered \u201can altogether satisfactory state of * affairs.It is little short of disastrous.\u201d If guch an expose were made by a Liberal newspaper it would be promptly charged with \u201c running down the country.\u201d Such a charge, however, is not likely to be brought against the Conservative Macleod Gazette, Our contemporary demands that a remedy shall be applied to this *disastrous \u201d state of affairs.It very properly says there ia neither rhyme nor reason in spending money year after year with no practical results from the expenditure except absolute loss.\u201c What Canada wants,\u201d says the Gazette, \u201cis not so \u201cmuch a policy for bringing in settlers \u2018as a policy for retaining them in the \u201ccountry after they get here.If we can \u201cmake Canada artificially, as she is na- \u201cturally, a desirable and valuable field \u201cfor settlemuent; if our policy toward \u201c people already settled here is so liberal \u201cand generous that they are satisfied, \u201cand have no reason for thinking that \u201cthey can do better and will be treated \u201cbetter elsewhere, half the battle is won.\u201cThe other half of the battle can be won \u201cby a vigorous railway policy in the \u201cNorthwest.\u201d The Gazeite, of course, is speaking mainly for the Northwest, and naturally wants a vigorous railway policy for that section.There is, however, a great deal of truth in what it says.If there was less money wasted on useless immigration officials, and on useless railway schemes designed for the purchase of constituencies, and some of it expended on useful works in the Northwest, the country would derive some advantage from the expenditure.But this will not be enough.We want a chsrge of Government\u2014that is the frst step towards reform.Then we must have fiscal reform and redaction of taxation, to be followed by the establishment of closer trade relations with the United States, and the rescue of the country from the incubus and blighting influence of eleven years Tory misrule and corruption, which are fast making Canada a hissing and by-word.These things can only be accomplished by placing thereins of power in the hands of capable and upright men, who will recognize it to be their duty to legislate and administer the laws in the interest and for the benefit of the people, and not for the aggrandizement of a few party politicians of the Rykert stamp.JUST LIKE THEM, \u201c Dor\u2019t put him under the pump,\u201d was an inhibition speedily followed by the enforced lavation of the person referred to.Don\u2019t go in for annexation, says a Tory paper in the west, because of several matters corollary to American citizenship, but, \u201cannexation would un- \u201c doubtedly bring great material gains \u201c to Canada.It would pour into thosa \u201cparts which are well endowed with \u2018natural resources à vast flood of \u201c wealth and enterprise, &c., &c.,\u201d is the per contra held out by Sir John\u2019s journalistic friond in Calgary.Itis not enough to so burden the paople of Canada with taxation while refusing to allow them to trade with the States that numbers, who never before thought of such a thing, now discuss annexation as a means of relief, but the press which supports the present Ministry must needs talk about Canadian provinces becoming \u201cthe field of the American speculator, \u201c the American capitalist, the American \u201c tourist and the American adventurer.\u201cWe would probably have more banks, \u201cmore railways, more canals, more \u201c mining, more reckless trading, more * politics, more people, more everything.\u201d Here is one Tory journal indirectly sap- porting annexation because of the great gain that would ensue, while others oppose reciprocity with the States because it might, as they say, lead to political union.rer A VOICE FROM THE NORTHWEST.The Saskatchewan Herald, published at Prince Albert, declares squarely in favor of freer trade, and inferentially for lighter taxation.It states what is an obvious fact, \u2018 that our prosperity and suc- \u2018 cess a8 a country depends largely upon \u201cits agriculture,\u201d and adds: The commercial interests of the country are also of vital importance to its welfare.No country can be prosperous if its commerce is not in a healthy condition; and as we believe that the prosperity of our commerce as well &8 of our agriculture depends upon the greatest freedom and facility of access tothe mar- Kets of the world, we shall persist in the advocacy of these conditions.Respecting the future of Canada, our contemporary boldly says : We desire to see the growing sovereignty of our country\u2014this Canada of ours.We do not wish to be forever a dependency of a country, no matter how much beloved, which wields it8 sceptre trom a distance of five thousand miles.And we are equally averse to becoming a subservient portion of the neighbouring Republic, no matter how we may cultivate its cousinly friendship.We believe that Canada should grow from its own roots which have been stuck deep and firm into the rich and strong soil of the northern half of this new continent.And while cultivating friendly relations with the mother land and with our sisters of the great Colonial Empire, we have no faith in that enthusiastic dream which has led such a large number of politicians to favour some undefined scheme of Imperial Federation, In other words, the Saskatchewan wants Confederation to be carried out to its logical result\u2014the buiiding up of Canada as an independent nation.\u2014\u2014 McGILL IN LUCK.The report that Mr.W.C.McDonald, of this city, would make a handsome gift to McGill University has materialized, and it is now announced that that gentleman will donate $150,000 for the faculty of Jaw, to be applied to the endowment of two chairs and promoting the interests of the faculty in general ; and, also, $50,000 for the endowment of à chair of experimental physics.In addition to this, he proposes to erect and equip two buildings for the university\u2014 one for a department of technical education, and the other for & department of physics.These will cost at least $200,000, so that Mr.McDonald\u2019s gift to McGill will amount to the princely sum of $400,- C00.These munificent donations will greatly increase the efficiency of the equipment of McGill, which now occupies the front rank among Dominion institutions of learning, and are a fitting sequel to the endowments made by the late Thomas Workman, and others who preceded him.Workman and MeDonald are both good names to have associated with the university in counection with those of McGill, Redpath, Smith, and other benefactors.Still, we presume there is room for more names and more donations.Men who spend their wealth on objects of this kind build themselves a monument far more enduring than brass or iron, and leave their memories enshrined in the hearts of a grateful people.\u2014_\u2014 Tre peculiar enlightment and civilization of the United States is shown in the recent appointment by the State of Georgia of a \u201cWhipping Boss.\u201d The appointment appears to be for \u201ca camp,\u201d whatever that may be, in which only women are confined.The right to \u201clarrup your own nigger\u201d seems to have been extended in Georgia to larruping Your own women.It might be pertinent to enquire whether they burn witches in Georgia À PETITION hs been filed against the return of Dr.Montague for Haldimand.Private advices lead us to believe that most scandalous practices were followed in this election, and if the assertions of the complainants can be proved, it would £eem that the disqualification of Dr.Montague will accompany his unseating.SIR JOIIN AND THE ANDERSONS.Whose word is to be believed, that of Sir John Macdonald or that of the Messrs.Anderson?Sir John said in the House of Commons that the reason why the Andersons abandoned the fast line scheme was because they were unable to get the neceesary capital.This very injurious reflection upon the credit of that firm was naturally resented by them.They addressed a letter to the press declaring that Sir John had misstated the reason of their action.Now the Montreal Gazette, in an inspired communication from itseditor at Ottawa, reaffirms Bir John\u2019s assertion, by saying: \u201c The main reason must have been an \u201c inability to interest sufficient capital * for so large au undertaking.\u201d We do not think this is quite fair on the Andersons\u2019 firm.By other people, if not by Sir John\u2019s immediate friends, they bave been regarded as a firm of the first class in the mercantile marine circle, and if that is a correct estimate of their standing it is extramely improbable that they would be unableto obtain the necessary capital.Remembering the plethora of money in England seeking investment; in view of the facility with which some unknown promoters obtained hundreds of thousands for such a scheme as the Direct Meat Company of Three Rivers, not to mention others which are advertised in the London papers, it seems very unlikely that any first class firm would find themselves mnable to procure capital for a scheme in their own line of business Intended to form part of a great Canadian route between England and the East.It is much more probable that the Ander- sons found Sir John backing out of some part of his undertaking, and knowing his reputation, declined to be caught in a trap.Of course he is anxious to throw the blame on the Andersons, even though by doing s0 he may impair their reputation.es Tue Regina Leader, supposed to represent Mr.Davin\u2019s views, vigorously protests against Mr.Dewdney\u2019s proposal to remove the Land Commissioner's office from Winnipeg to Ottawa.Says the Leader : \u201c The system of doing the busi- \u201c ness of the Northwest fifteen hundred \u201c miles away has long since been proved \u201c à grand mistake.\u201c Ottawa know the Northwest like men \u2018 on the spot, and then look at the enor- \u201cmous delays caused by sending to \u201c Ottawa on every detail! The thing isa grievance now\u2014it will be worse than a \u201c grievance if the Land Board is taken \u201cto Ottawa.If moved it must be, then \u201c the Territories is the place for it.\u201d If Mr.Davin persists in supporting a Premier whom he declares is no statesman, and a Cabinet which he asserts has no brains in it, what can he expect?Mr.Davin is as much responsible as any man in Ottawa for the mistakes committed in the Department of the Interior.Prry the sorrows of a poor old government.Not even its friends will stand by it in the changes of its tariff.First we see the urbane Mr.Kenny, of Halifax, informing 8ir John that \u201cnationally, \u2018* commercially and financially,\u201d he has been going too fast, and further, that his increased pork duty policy won't do; and now we find the lumbermen o: | Ottawa district calling a meeting to protest against this same change in the tariff.Probably the usual course will be adopted, and another back-down be added to the list.GAZETTE :(\u2014Hon.Mr.Mitchell, in his gpeech Jn the budget debate, complained, as a publisher, apparently, of the increased duty on stereotype plates for the use of daily newspapers.The hon.gentleman does not appear 10 have been explicit enough.What are these stereotype plates for the use of daily newspapers and how are they worked ?* Dear, dear, if we only had time to avail ourselves of it, what a field for work there is in imparting information to the Gazette.In its own columns there is a portrait of an elderly gentleman who invites people to know themselves and discourses on \u201cexhausted vitality.\u201d This is one of those importations on which the Gazette will now pay 2 cents a square inch.There is another portrait of a young woman carrying a cup of cocoa, another blotch about angemia-chlorosis, and one about somebody\u2019s emulsion, all of which the Gazette imports from the States.As to \u201chow they are worked,\u201d the editor had better go up and learn in the composing room.\u2018WHAT OTHERS SAY.THE M'KINLEY TARIFF BILL, The tariff pill, then, as we have seen already, is not satisfactory.It ought to be and must be changed very materially by amendment in the committee or in the House, or else it should never be allowed to become a law by the assistance of Republican votes from the Northwest.\u2014 St.Paul Pioneer Press.REDUCTION, NOT INCREASE WANTED, Western farmers can receive benefit from Congress only by such raductions of the tariff on the necessaries as will iower their cost of living.That is the only way in which the tarifl can bere ormed to the material advantage of farmers, and if it is not done by the Kepablicans in this Congress it will be by the Democrats in tbe next in a radical and, perhaps, reckless tashion.\u2014 Chicago Tribune.NEVER CAN BE ADJUSTED.But has protection benefitted the farmer by an extension of his howe market?It is true that under protection a lot of manufactures have been started into life (requiring, however, more protection to keep them alive, every now and then) but they have not increased the value of the home market one whit.The policy might have been advantageous in this respect if the home market could have been * protected \u201d from the competition, not only of the Western States but of our own Nortb- west, without destroying itself, And this is just where the theory of protection breaks down so far as the farmers of Canada, at any rate, are concerned.Farm products can only be kept out by a high tariff ; and a tariff high enough to keep out the farm products of the United States would, in How can officials at\" one year, ruin every wage-earner in the country.Inthe second or third year, perhaps, home competition would have brought prices down, but in the meantime the home market would have been entirely destroyed.The truth is protection never can be adjusted.The complex and ever-varying phases of a country\u2019s trade render it impossible to frame \"a tariff that will act with anything like equality upon all interests.In theory the policy of protection is admittedly wropg and in practice unmanageable.\u2014 Sherbrooke Examiner.SQUIBS.\u2014She (just gone Into housekeeping)\u2014 How did you like the shirt I ironed for you, Alfred?Didu\u2019t I do it beautifully ?He\u2014You do nothing by halves, my dear.You did it up brown, of course.\u2014Freckled Old Lady\u2014I want two pounds of your best steak, young feller.Butcher (who has been reading a late article on the compiexion}\u2014Yes, ma\u2019am, for the face or the table ?\u2014Book Agent\u2014Now, sir, here is a complete dictionary of all the slang phrases in use in any part of this country.Every man should have it.You want one of Householder\u2014No, I guess not.You see, my daughter is home from boarding school.\u2014Congress\u2014Can you hold a world\u2019s fair ina 1892 ?Chicago\u2014No ;

and every business man in New York and every other commercial city will severely feel them ; and as I stated at first, the members of the committee at Washington know nothing personally of im portations.Unless the McKinley bill is very much amended, ihe result of its passage will be exceeding bad for this metropolis.Though men import dry goods the women do most of the consuming, hence my notice of the offensive measure.WOMEN ARCHITECTS.An architect said that there were but two women architects in this country, and that these were quite as successful as the average man architect.Your correspondent is acquainted with two young women architects who are mors successful than the average man architect.One of these young women has caused to be built several charmingly planned houses in California, where economy of space being the drawback, has made every square inch, 80 to speak, tell.In every room, whether large or small, there is adequate closet room, and the architect in question has not placed doorways that open in impossible places.The beauti- fol and tke useful go hand-in-hand, and it is with pride that the greatest possible convenience and comfort is alled with the greatest compactness, the least expense and much beauty.As the architect declares: there is no practical diffculty in the way.Certainly she can master all the details of the office work\u2014the designing and draughting.Tbe average woman has good taste, and tbe average woman knows more than a man about what is really needed in the arrangement of a house to secure comfort and convenience.Mr.J.Loftie, on \u201cThe House Without\u201d\u2014The Art Amateur for April\u2014says : The great difficulty is that few architects of ihe present day study proportion (cf course, he refers to the average man), and most of them are quite convinced that if a design is bad \u201cits faults can be concealed by ornament (most wemen dressmakers think the same).This is a sad fallacy, and one which has ruined the appearace of some of the finest of our streets.Balance is b no means necessary.The hall door veed by no means be in the very middle of the principal front.It is quite possible to design a building in which the blank walls will take their proper part in en- hauncing the general effect.These are little facts at which the intellects of our average English architects stagger.GENERAL SICKLES, Governor Hill surprised the natives by asking Daniel E.Sickles, ex-minister to Spain, and a brave war general, to become sheriff of New York city.Daniel Sickles accepted, and has become the head of the great Tammany organization.He has delighted hosts of honest Democrats, for he is known to be a theroughly upright man in all business affairs, The General was born in New York and comes of good old knickerbocker stock.He studied law under Franklin Butler, and was admitted to the bar in 1843.Sickles joined the Democratic party, and in 1847 was elected to the Legislature.When the war broke out he raised the Excelsior brigade of volunteers from New York, and in March, 1862, was confirmed by the Senate a brigadier-general.He did gallant service at Williamsburg, Malvern Hill, Fair Oaks, Richmond, Antietam and Gettysburg, at;which place he lost a leg.He joined the regular army in 1866 and received his brevet as major-general for gallant conduct before the year had passed away, In 1869 he was placed on the retired list with fall pay of major-general.He was appointed Minister to Spain by General Grant in 1869.Sickles relinquished his post in March, 1873, and took up the practice of | sttempt ut light opera.law in New York.Aud now the old bero has taken upon himasel the task of purifying the sheriff's beach, and every honest citizen feels that this mos: important, thoroughly abui-d post wid bave a worthy occupant, THE MIKADO.On Monday night last the Broad way Theatre was completely filled to listen to Gilrert and Sullivan's charming opars.The work is eapitally rendered by Mr.J.C.Duffs company.It is notextravazaut to say that no better performance than Le prerent has ever been given, both as to principals and ensembie, while the sceuery 18 bandsome and appropriate.L,by Pell is the \u2018best Ko-Ko we have seen, aud Mr.Charles O.Bassett the most tuneful Nanki-Pooh heard hero; his firat i Misses Lilly Pust and Louise Baudet equally carry honors 28 Yum-Yum and Pitti Sing.\u201cThe Three Lites Maids from S:hool\u2019 wus sung with unusual dash.The whole is entirely enjoyable.SPRING FASHIONS, Everything is to be vandvked this fpring, from parasols to petticoats.A petticoat in black crepe lisse, with double ruffles and « deep frill around the edge, is ie vogue.It is also developed in white crepe.Oi the hues of gray and beltotrope referred to in my last letter, L may add that their popalurity 18 wondaer- fally on the increase.Mauy of these Cowus Wil bave un entire patricoat of silk, with the Clotli vierdrezs draped in long straight folds and sunnle gathers, with a sah of moire or of soft suk, the ends beivy frirged Red {fringes ure to be tha stylish trimmings daring the coming season.De- recding from a piace of passementerie, it covers tue entire front breadth, or is half a yard deep on the edge of the front draperies.DRESS-COAT EFFECIS eitlerlong or of medium length, with becoming vests, vie with pointed bodic3s that are plaited front and back.These two distinct styles emphasize\u2019 pleasingly the contrast between the soft aud wholly feminine modes and those which hint of masculine attire.Differing entirely from beth the fashions just mentioned, but just as attractive and artistic, is the gown with fuil paniers.These draperies fall from the hips in points suggestive of a former favorite, the peplum, a return of which is gladly hailed by tasteful women.The paniers, the full tops upon the sleaves {or the plain portions), the front plails of the bodice or basque, or perhaps, the centre of the front apd collar, in chemisette fashion, are made of contrasting goods that are more ornamental than the other parts of the gown, although fashion approves with equal emphasis of a costume en suite.Bometimes the entire basque or bodice and the panier differ from the skirt, a liberty that is most suggestive to the ingenious dressmaker.OLD ENGLISH FASHIONS to be developed in flexible fabrics for houge wear until the coming of summer show many attractive and timely features.China silks, zephyrs, batiste, sateen, crepe de Chine and all diaphanous goods suitable for evening wear are made up in these charming styles, with girdles, and more or less full sleeves.Women wbo have pretty throats will omit the high collar from house dresses of this kind and wear instead a ruff of lace, silk muslin or lawn, or perhaps an Antionette kerchief, or a broad, ornamental turn- down collar of wrought lace or mull, Again, referring to Vandyke trimmings, we may say that tucks and ribbon arranged in parallel rows divide favor for skirt decorations, Upon silks and woollens the vandykes are applied across the lowar part of the skirt in front and are made of passementerie or of heavy laces sewed flatly to position ; or they may be cut from the goods and their edges finished with pipings of the same or apother hue.Sometimes an elaborate effect is produced with prints that are decorated with several rows of piping in artistically assorted colors sewed closely together.In other cases prints of wool goods are deeply and coarsely button-holed with loosely twisted silk in effective tints; and, again, wben cut from firmly woven woolens, they are pinked.: THE THREE GENERAL STYLES OF WRAP.The jacket, the long cloak, and the cape, are varied, modified and combined until each class shows almost as many different varieties as there will ba bryers.Large buttons and very hand« some ones of pearl and gold and silver «nd crochet fasten the wraps they adorn.The high collar belongs to every class of wrap.While the skirts oi the dress-jacket are much longer than formerly, the demi dress and morning jackets show some quite short ekirts.Nothing could be more comfortable than the new morning jacket, fitted to the figure in the back with broad, double-breasted sack coat front fastened by a few big buttons, with rolling collar ending in little\u2019lapels made by turning back the corners of the fronts, plainly stitched, and made of fine warm cloth.It is the ideal jacket for all cool mornings and evenings, for yachting and for all summer outing use.CHEVIOT THE FAVORITE CLOTH, Checks are seen; but navy blue and black much oftener.The buttons are round, very large, and usually lasting, Sometimes little breast pieces are attached tothe jacket, to be removed in warmer weather.Theege fill up tLe opening at the throat left by the lapels, and are closed by small buttons.The more expensive jackets of this style are hand- gomely lined, which adds to their beauty.For the dress jackets, black corkscrew, diagonals and serge are shown.All these blacks are made up with the tight back and shaped front, some have revers, turned back flat and running to the bottom of the skirt; others the broad, rolling collar all tbe way ; both styles have the vest.All have the high shoulders, and the sleeves vary in degrees of dressiness according to the cut of the jacket; the style last noted has a plain coat sleeve with strap near the wrist, bearing buttons like those which fasten the front.A PARISIAN WALKING SUIT.The material is & soft gray wool, with large black polka spots, and the jupe is very little draped in front and entirely plain behind.Around the edge of the jupe is a wide bias band of black surah with heavy twill.The wool corsage is entirely plaited behind and shirred in front over a chemisette of the black gurah ; the latter is extremely full and held in at the waist with black silken cords and tassels.The highly-gathered sleeves are made of the surah.A PARISIAN MORNING TOILETTE, very becoming, has the princess dress made of the new uncut velvet, and its apron front makes the train very narrow.The train is of rich black brocada, with side folds of plaited lace.The correct velvet waist has a chemisette of plaited crepe lisse; and a superb jet fringe falls from it half way down the apron front.This fringe is made in deep, sharp points.The crepe lisse bonnet has a small, high crown, with a large jet butter- Children Cry for Pitcher\u2019s Castoria.which hag a THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE TUESDAY.APRIL 8 -2 fly in front and a crepe veil behind fall- lug to the very edge of the train.A DINNER DRESS, _ The foundation is a soft, rich silk of the heeehes weave, of a deep grayish bine, lie t01sty moon on the lake shimmer, The back breadth, which sweeps out iu a praceful dem -train, is of fine b'ack Chantilly lace, with aa effective border design, while the waist, rleeves and side panels are entirely veiled by black Brussels net, embroidered in tolid black and gold desis, Upon the front of the skirt is a tablier of jot embroidered on tulle, which runs up ia points alipest to tie waist, and the bottom hangy loose in a deep fringes with tassels.A jet mot:f is at the frout of each side panel, and the front of the waist is triteimed to mation the tablier.Another dinner gown Liss the right half, from throat to hem of black Cnantil- ly net, of a showy pattern, while the lef;

MAKE SPEECHES, The Quality of the Granite a Great Iwprovement on the Limestone.2 The Road Committee paid a visit of inspection to the Corporation Quarry at Outremont yesterday afternoon.À start was made irom the City Hall about 11.30 o'clock, and owing to the bad state of the roads it was not until an hour later that the quarry was reached.As the day was a holiday and very line, quite a number tarned out on the oc:asion.The Mayor and Aldermen were invited, and thoss who accepted were Aldermen Prefon- taine, Jeannotte, Stevenson, Villeneuve, Boisseau, Hamelin, Wm.Kennedy, J.B.R.Dufresne, Patrick Kennedy, À.Dubuc, itolland, Brunet, Wilson and Maloue.Among the officials of the Road Department who were present were: Mr.St.George, City Surveyor; Mr.F.B.Lavallee, Deputy City Surveyor, Messr:.John Brophy, John Barlow, P.O'he:lly, James Lowe and J.P.Flynn.A number of contractors ware also present, among them being Messrs.E.St.Louis, F.D.Lawrence, J.D.Lamou- tagne, James Cochrane and L.Vaila- quette.WHAT WAS SERN AC TIXE QUARRY.\" When the yarty arrived at the quury ihe stone crusher was first visited, and afterwards the quarry.Fifty meu are emploved about the works, aud seventy- five are epgaged in carting the stone from tke quarry to the city.Betwseu two buudred and fifty and thr-e huudrad tons of stone are crushed every day for macadamizing purposes.The Bteam power for the crusher is furnished by an oid Grand Trunk locomotive, which, although it could stand some repairs, still does duty fairly well The visitors were then called ta the quarry, where a blast was about to be set off.Some of the more timid aldermen, on receiving the news, ratreated to a very secluded position,while Aldernian Prefoutaine, the chairman of the com- mitlee, set off a blast of seven charges by u.eans of an electric dynamo.There were niceteen charges to go off, the ra- waining twelve being set off by Alderman Rolland, chairman of the Finance Committes, who was called on as being the greatest gun in the crowd.The blasts having been successfully accomplished, the results were viewed.Some immense blocks of stones were blasted and the result was considered very satisfactory.When crughed the stone makes splendid macadam, being far superior vo the lime stone.SATISFYING THE INNER MAN.An adjournment was then made to one of the quarry sheds where lunch was served, alter which some interesting speeches were made.Alderman Prefontaine spoke of the visit which had proved an interesting cue, and regretted the abseuce of the Mayor, who was too unwell to undertake the drive.Ald.Rolland was called on to respond on behalf of the Mayor, whpso health had been drunk, and in doing 85, said that be believed the present Finance Committee had been the most generous of any.Ald.Jeannotte\u2014Not for the Police Committee.Ald.Rolland took cecasion to say that he thcrough!y believed in permanent work.Since tLe rs-opening of the quarry the old lime stone has been replaced by better material, and, as a con- sequerce, the dust and mud nuisances Lave been greatly alleviated.Ald.Rolland, seconded by Ald.Stevenson, then proposed the ealth of the chairman of the Road Committee.In doing 60 hie sald the commiitze had received & large amount of mouey and hoped they would spend it well.At this point, tho Chair:nan, Ald.Pre- fontaine, was presented with a handsome bougnet by Mr.Hefferman, the foreman, on behalf of the workmen of the quarry.Ie then made a speech reviewing bis connection with the Com- miftee and the work which it has beea endeavoring to perform.Wheu he took the chairmanship he realized that unless larger appropriations were grauted it would be useless to expect good road- waye.After arriving back from the western trip, the Comunittee realized the wants of the city in regard to permanent roads and Mr.St.George was instructed to make an estimate of the cost of such.It was found that six or seven aillions could be profitably speut, but the Finance committee could only agres to ask for a million a year for two or three years.After promising that the money received would be well spent, he referred in complimentary terms to the services performed by the staff of the Road Department.Short speeches were aftorwards made by Aldermnen Jeannotte, Stevenson, Villeneuve, Wilson and Wm.Kennedy.In the remarks of each alderman the road cflicials came in for good words, Atter derarting for the city several aidermen, including the chairman, eu- juyed the hospitality of Ald.Brunet at his residence on Papineau Road.Mr.Lavailee, the Deputy' City Sur- vevor, says that what is needed for carrying the stone from the quarry to the city is a tramway, the old carts being very slow and much more expensi ve.He thinks that some arrangement could be arrived at with the Street Railway Company for the use of their tracke at night for the distributiou of stone through the city.\u2014\u2014 Smoke Hand-Made Cigar, Nectar, 5 Cents A BAD FIRE.The Dominion Blanket Co.'s Premises Guitted.About 8 o'clock last evening smoke was geen issuing from a window on the top floor of No.7 St.Helen street.An alarm was rung from box 413 and the brigade turned up in good time, the apparatus from No.4 station leading the van.The fire seemed to be asmall matter at first, as no fire could be found near the smoking window.When the fire- wen work.d their way back into the buiiding 10 the part occupied by the j.uminion Blanket Company, that part was found to be blazing on three flats.Tue fire was burning fiercely up the elevator 8baft, which, being open, gave the fire a good chance to work its way up.Large quantities of material for the manufacture of blankets were on fire and gave considerable trouble before being extinguished.Although the fire bad been burning quite a while before discovery, and had __ THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DA worked its way into the partitions, it was confined to the premises of the Blanket Company, which are the heaviest loosers.They occupied a portion of three flats and cellar.There was fire on all four floors when discovered, but it 18 vot known whether the fire started in the cellar around the furnace or on the second flat, the burning embers falling down the elevator shaft and setting fire below.A watar-closet on the second flat alongside the elevator was almost entirely consumed, and looked as if the fire might have started thera, After two bours fighting the flames, the firamen returned to their stations, followed an hour later by the salvage corps.Some of the adjoining offices were damaged by smoke and water.The quarters ofJ.S.Sbearer & Co., manufacturers\u2019 ageuts ; George Barry, hides and leathers; P.H.Troude, leather dealer, and C.Peverly, agent Pratt\u2019s astral oil, wers more or less damaged by smoke and water.À quantity of oil was stored not far from the seat of the fire, and would have made a dangerous blaze had it been ignited.The galvage corps spraad forty-eight covers, and saved considerable merchandise.He CE 5 Cents Smoke Harê-Made Cigar, Nectar, \u2014ee ST.ANK'ST.A.& B SOCIETY.The annual entertainment of St.Ann\u2019s

spiendid musical programme was carried ont successfully by a number of amateurs.Rev.James Lonergan, parish priest of St.Bridget's, deliversd an address on Temperance, at the close of which Mr.J.J.Curran, M.P., eulogized the speech and moved a vote of thanks to the speaker.\u2014\u2014 \u2014\u2014 \u2014 THE BRAIN AND ITS FUNCTIONS.The third lecture in the Y.M.C.A.medical course was given in the parlor of the Association building last evening, the lecturer being Dr.James Stewart.He chose for his subject \u201c The Brain and its Functions,\u201d and judging from the applause with which be was from time to time interrupted, his audience greatly appreciated the rare treat he afforded them.He handled his subject in a practical and professional way, and in order to make it the clearer to his audience il- Justrated it with carefully prepared diagrams, which served to elucidate hs lecture 1n a thoroughly agraeable and interesting manner.Befors conciuding he devoted a few moments to the subjezt of phrenology, which he ridiculed as a science, remarking that it never was aad never would be one.Dr.Kelly, who presided, proposed a vote of thanks in a few appropriate words, and after Dr.Stewart had promited to give another lecture next Monday, ou tbe effects of intox1- cants and tobacco on the brain, the meat- ing dispersed.\u201cSmoke Eand-Made Cigar, Nectar, 5

on a candidate for alderman for the ward.Ex-Alderman Hurtean addressed the electors and said that his only reason for coming forward was that he had been requested to do so by a large majority of the electors.He a's» said that his past conduct in the council was a voucher ur the future.Mr.L.A.W.Proulx was next cailed to the platform and said that, although it bad been his first intention to oppase Ex-Alderman Hurteau, be had finally docided not to do so.This annouauce- ment vas received with great enthusiasm.Ald.Prafontaine, who was prasent, congratulated Mr.Proulx on his decisivn, and spoke in favorable terms of the career of Mr.Hurteau as an alder.nan.The meeting then dispersed.ANNEXATION OF STE.CUONEGONDE Fer School Purposes Conde:nnod by the Mayor, Who Interviews Premier Mereier.Mayor Grenier held an interview last evening with Premier Mercier, at the latter\u2019s residence, with reference to the advisability of withdrawing the order-in- Council, passed during the last session of the Local Legislature, rclative to the annexation of a certain portion of the West erd of the City of Montreal to Ste.Cune- gonde for school purposes.Hon.Mr.Mercier, in reply, stated that the motion had been passed in Couucii simply because Archbishop Tals hal recommended it.The mayor said that tha board of Catholic commissioners had hardly enough money to support thair os schools aud that therefore il was unfa-c for the city to take charge of schuols belonging to other municipalities.It was finally agreed that Rev.Cure Sentenne and Mayor Grenier should interview Archbishop Fabre oa the question and, providing His Grace should give his conssnt to the withdra val of his first letter recommending the proposed annexation, Mr.Mercier will be willing in the interests of Montreal to withdraw the order-in-couucil granting Ste.Cunegonde the powers in question.ee trcke Hord-Made Cigar, Neotar, § Cents.\u2014\u2014 ENTERPRISING DULUTH.A Novel Freight Train Coming Over the C.P.R.to Montreal and Bosten.Interest in Duluth and its manifold enterprises Las been very keen in Montreal since the visit of our aldermen to the Zenith City, and the lateat enterprise of the wide awake business men at the head of Lake Superior deserves more than passing wention.There is now en route from Daluth, via the Caradian Pacific Soo line, a train of fiftean new cars loaded with flour for Boston and other New England points.The various com- povents of thess cars, together with their contents, are the product of the Dulu:h local manufacturing and miiling indas- tries.The cars are built entirely of iron +nd steel.The bodies, frames, wheels, + xles, &c., were made aud put together 'y the Minnesota Iron Company, of West Daluth.Such enterprise is characteristic of our energetic neighbors, and it ig gratifying to find that the Short Route through Cenada, between the Northwestern and New Eaglaud States, is being made available for the transit of througa freight by such novel means.\u2014_\u2014 A WOMAN WHO IS WEAK, NERVOUS and leepless, and who hae cold hands and feet cannot feel and act like a well person.Carter'slren Pills equalize the circulation, remove nervousness,

evening.Mr.Watt occupied the chair.Dr.A.Lapthorn Smith read a paper, the subject of which was \u201c A New Automatic Protector Against Dangerous Electrical Currents.\u201d\u201d He discussed the question as to whether there was any real danger to users of telephone and telegraph currents from the proximity of heavily charged wires.Afl- ter referring to the numerous accl- dents recorded to life and property he came to the conclusion that the danger was real.He then reviewed the means in present use for the protection of houses and their occupants from the entrance of dangerous currents, and found that none of them really guaranteed the protection supposed to be got.The principal objection to many of the electric protectors in use was not that they were not automatic, but that, having acted once, they became useless.He then described a new automatic protector and gave a detailed description of the principles on which it was based, describing tbe effects of the different strength of corzents and sizes of wires.The construction of the instrument was thoroughly explained and its virtues tested.The lecturer was accorded a hearty vote of thanks for his entertaining and instructive paper.Several new members were ad uitted.mn TEMPERANCE WORK.The Monthly Meeting of the Women\u2019s Christian Temperance Unjon.The usual monthly meeting of the Women\u2019s Christian Temperance Union
