SALISBURY, \u201cDon't Rob a Poor Man of His Beer.\u201d LoxcoNn, April 9\u2014The action of the brewers in urging Mr.Goschen, Chancellor of the Exchequer, to remit a portion of the existing duty on beer is regarded generaily as a hint which if it is not heeded will be followed by the exercise of pressure too great for even the obstinate Mr.Goschen to withstand.Al- r-z2dy the Chanceilor is reminded that Mr.G'a\u2019stone\u2019s second ministry, very much more strongly intrenched than the present Government, was overthrown t ecause of the attempt to impose aldi- tional taxation upon beer, and the same fate, it is predicted, will befall Lord Salisbury\u2019s Cabinet if it shell porsist in its purpcse to maintain the present duty on the poor mau\u2019s beverage.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 KILLING NO MURDER.Outcry Against Capital Punishment.Loxpox, April 9.\u2014As predicted in last night's despatches, it is now asserted upon unquestionable authority that the action of Home Secretary Matthews in the cese of the brothers, Richard and George Davies, the former of whom was hanged yesterday for killing his father, will be made the subject of parliamentary discussion at as early a moment as the matter can be brought up.The fact that not even the Queen's recommendation of clemency was permitted by Mr.Matthews to alter his determination to harg young Richard has deeply incensed thorsands of the Home Secretary\u2019s politicel adherents and his obduracy will cost him his seat in the Ministry if his expulsion can possibly be brovght about._\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 AN APPEAL Te THE CZARS CLEMENCY.Literary Circles Make Great Ffforts Loxpon, April 9.\u2014A movement is on foot in literary circles to endeavor to obtain the release of Mde.Tschebrikova, who is in a Russian prison for writing a threatening letter to the Czar.With this end in view, the various litarary clubs in London are preparing a joint memcrial to the Czar, praying that the lady be set at liberty, aud an effort will be made to secure the co-operation of the Government in the matter, though the success of the latter movement is doubtful, CABLE BREVITIES.FRANKFORT, April 9\u2014At this

new freight tariff of the Inter- colonial Railway will be issued in a few ays, The congregation of St.George's Church is again in a ferment, This time it is over the resignation of the rector, Rev.Dr.Owen Jones.The rector has not actually resigned yet, but he told Major Walsh, one of his strongest supportars, last night that he intended to take this course, and in consequence it is stated the great majority of those who sympathized with him in his course of action will give up their sittings, Those members of the congregation who have opposed the rector\u2019s course of action say that his resignation ig the result of the resolution passed atthe vestry mee\u2018 \u2018ng on Monday, insisting tha there should be no change in the form of service, His Lordship Bishop Lewis was next seen.He said: \u201cI have not received the resignation of Rev.Dr.Jones.My opinion has not been soaght about the dispute in the church.Although Rev.Dr.Jones has spoken to me from time to time of what was going on, X think if the statements in the papers are correct the proceedings at the vestry were a disgrace to Christianity, Objection seems to be taken to mere trifies.The rector asked the congregation to rise in the church at the entrance of the clergy \u2014a perfectly right and proper request, in my opinion, to make.That is wbat we would do on the entrance of a lady into a room, or in a court on the entrance of the officials, and why should this not be done in the presence of the officials of the church ?In almost every church in England the congregation do this, and it is perfectly right and proper.The statement was made at the meeting that High Church views are increasing in favor with the clergy of the diocese.Is that statement correct?I am not aware of any increase of ritualism.Statements like these are made simply for the purpose of exciting Protestant feeling,\u201d The writ for the election to replace the A t MONTREAL.THURSDAY.APRIL 10, 1890 late member for

morning Cadet Arthur W.Cowles, aged eighteen, son of Congressman W.H.H.Cowles, took his own life, using a revolver to do the work.He was officer of the day, and called the roll as usual and was at morning recitation.Lieut.Drewerey, instructor of tactics, went into Cowles\u2019 room an hour befora noon and found the young cadet lying across the bed with a revolver beside him.It was evident that he had killed himself instantly, having placed the revolver just above the right tample.The bullet passed through his head and was temple.Cowles had been in poor health for gome months, and was disposed to be melancholy.He was bright, however, and as attentive to his duties as his health permitted.The cadet whose quarters were in the room adjoining, heard the report of the pistol, but paid no attention to it, as it appeared to be some distance away.Cowles was in uniform, and bis suicide was evidently carefully planned.The occurrence, which is the first of the kind on record at this academy, causes great sorrow.Congress- map and Mrs, Cowles left Washington today for Greensboro.The body of their son was taken to the family home in Wilks County this afternoon,

OTTAWA, April 9.\u2014Another member of the Conservative party 1s in trouble, and although the affair may never come before the House, General Laurie, member for Shelburne, N.8., must feel that be bas made a mistake which will need a great deal of explanation before even his own party can feel that he has acted honestly towards his country.When he arrived in Ottawa for the present session be gave his residence as London, Eng.When he considered that he woald like to return to London at the close of the session he announced that that city was bis residence, and collected travelling fees of $650.The official record of the House gives the General\u2019s address as Oakfield, N.8., and when he arrived bere to-night, after his bard earned Easter holiday, he registered at the Russell as Lt-Gen.Laurie, Oakfield, N.S, The HzraLp correspondent asked him to-night how this happened when he had given Lis residence as London.Why, said the affable General, I always register the place from which I have just come.Is ittrue you received mileage from and to London, Eng.?Yes, certainly itis.But of course there is a good deal of padding put into the charges against we, and I don\u2019t know whether or not it is of sufficient importance to bring it before the House.The affair bas caused a good deal of comment here, and Conservative members are anything but pleased that the disclosure has been made.\u2014e HEAP TROUBLE POOR CHINAMAN.Uncle Sam\u2019s Unhospitable Soil.NraGARA Faurs, Ont, April 9\u2014Mun Lee, the Toronto Chinaman who bas been attemptidg to smuggle himself with three other of his countrymen into the United States, at Windsor and other points, arrived here yesterday morning on the eight o'clock G.T.R.train with his three companions and attempted to cross the frontier concealed in the closet of the coach of the train on which they arrived, but were detected by the U.S.customs officer and hustled back to Canada.The party secreted themselves all day.After dark they star*ad for Chippawa in a hack, as they had previously made a contract with a well known hackman to land them in Uncle Sam\u2019s domain for the sum of eighty dollars.After their arrival at Chippawa a boat was procured and they were rowed across the river, landis, chem near the village of Lasalle, about five miles above the Falls.When near the shore one of the Ce'estials fall out of the boat and received a good drenching.Shortly after the party put their feet on American soil U.S.special officer Lewis, of the Suspension Bridge who had shadowed their movements, nabbed them and had them brought down othe bridge and sent back over to Canada this morning.Upon reaching thisend of the bridge they were stopped by the Canedian Customs officer, but upon pro- duciag Canadian Custom\u2019s certificates they were allowed to enter the country agair.The certificates were dated Van- couvèr, B.C,, February 3rd, 1890, and issued in favor of Jung Lem, Dung Gin and Quan Dart.These thres could not speak a word of English and were entirely in the Lands of Mun Lee, who was spokes- mancfthe party.When he was questioned about who the man was that he paid the mony to for taking them across the froniier, ke said : \u201cMe don\u2019t know tookee my monee, cause heap trouble, one poor Chiramanee got wette and neely drovnee.\u201d He seemed to realize that making any further attempts would end in heaps of trouble for him and his companions, and that they would return to Toronto sadder, but wiser Chinemen.The party bad quite a large sum of money with them.They left on the express train this afternoon for Toronto.ee A TUSSLE WITH THE ELEMENTS, Heavy Work to Save a Disabled Steamer.HaurrAx, N.S., April 9.\u2014The disabled steamer Southgate, as before reported, was towed into port this evening\u201d by the Coventry from Crosaw, S.C,, bound to the United Kingdom.The two steamers had a series of fierce tussles with the elements before they succeeded in getting wel.under way for Halifax, the captain and officers of the Coventry acting in a most heroic and praiseworthy manner in thier efforts to bring the Southgate and her crew safely into port.Capt.Delacour, of the Southgate, reports leaving Placentia, Nfld., sixteen days ago for New York.Shortly after sailing the steamer ran ashore, and after jettisoning many tons of cargo she floated without serious damage and proceeded to New York.She soon met a great number of icebergs and for two days sailed through them, when she got into heavy field ice.In attempting to get out of this she broke her shaft and began to drift about at the mercy of the ice and sea.Fortunately the ice parted and the ship got into open water, where she was spoken by several vessels and obtained provisions from the brig Ajaco I.as already reported.She displayed signals of distress until Good Friday, the eleventh day out, when, at 7 o'clock 1n the evening, the Covemry bore down on her and agreed to tow her to Halifax, a distance of 300 miles.A terrible gale was raging and the sea was running very high, but the two crews succeeded in getting a hawser attached, and some provisions were passed to the Southgate, which was again running short.At 10 p.m.the tow line parted being unable to stand the fierce strain on it.At midnight, though the storm continued with unabated violence, another line was passed.This was an anchor cable, but it soon snapped too, and the Southgate was again adrift.When the cable broke all the bits on the afterdeck of the oventry were carried away and a portion of her rail was damaged.At 2 p.mon Saturday a new hawser was attached, but it broke also.The weather continued very stormy, with tremendous high seas, and during Saturday night both steamers were washed fore and aft and much diffi- cully was experienced - in preventing them from crasbing into each other.The light boxes and moveable articles on the Sounthgate\u2019s deck were washed away and one of the Coventry's boats was damaged.The tempest raged all day Sunday, Captain Delacour describing it as of hurricane violence, but the Coventry remained close by all the \u2018ime, her captain being cetermined not to desert the disabled end belpless ship.On Monday, at 6 a.m., though wind and sea were still high, and the water was sweeping their decks, the Coventry's captain decided to make another effort to get the Southgate in tow.Two steel hawsers were connected with the Southgate\u2019s anchor cable, but it snapped again, and the veesels broke apart.At 11 a.m.the two hawsers were once more made fast, and these held out without farther accident till Halifax was reached this evening.Capt.Delacour says he cannot speak too highly of the heroic conduct of the Coventry\u2019s officers in the perilous situation, and the Coventry's officers speak in equally high terms of the bravery of the crew of the Southgate\u2019s boat that carried the towing lines.The Southgate has been libelled in the Admiralty Court for $30,000 on behalf of the owners of the Coventry.ee TELEGRAMS FROM TORONTO.Business Troubles\u2014Under False Pre- tences\u2014Action for Alimony.ToroxTo, April 9\u2014Gregor Unser, manufacturer of carpets, whose mill is out on Young street, near Eglington, is in financial straits and his solicitors, Badgerow, Curry & Co., are in charge of the estate.So far no meeting has been called and no assignment made, and it is believed that an arrangement wil: be come to whereby Mr.Unser will be able to go on with the business.The estate shows liabilities of $25,000, while the assets, including some real estate, are valued at $380,000.From this showing it is expected an extension of time will enable Mr.Unser to pay one hundred cents on the dollar and still have a substantial surplus.The insolvent firms of Adam Isbister & Co.and Malcolm Iebister & Co., of Petrolia and Port Arthur, have assigned.The statement shows assets $105,000, liabilities $125,000.John Donovan, a car tender, of Lis- towel, was arrested here to-day on a charge of having obtained $30 worth of goods from a local tradesman there under false pretences.The famous assize court case of Martin v.Martin was adjourned to-day till next court.In this action Mrs.Philip Martin, of Toronto, nee Miss Katie Richardson, sues ber husband for alimony and £5,000 life insurance policy.The defendant, Philip Martin, of Hamilton, in defence claims that his wife is not entitled to alimony, and alleges several charges of adultery to justify his defence.The solicitors for the plaintiff hinted this morning that there was a settlement under consideration, and husband and wife might come together again.The half yearly meeting of the Baptist Mission Board, of Ontario and Quebec, was held here to-day.The disbursements of the board this year will amount to upwards of $22,000, an amount largely in excess of any previeus year.Six years ago there was but $6,000 raised for home missions.The McLachlan Testimonial Fund now amounts to $2,519.50.The testimonial, which is to take the form of an annuity to the poet, will be presented shortly.\u2014 Chinamen Captured.SAN DrrGo, Cal, April 9\u2014Ten more Chinamen were captured last

east of here, last night.It is supposed he was shot by a negro whom he had discharged.One of the neighbors came to this city to-day after officers and bloodhounds to track the man.Mr.Hunnieutt had a contract to furnish wood to the railroads and mines, and had a large number of negroes in his employ.Last night after Mr.Hunni- cutt had finished supper he walked out of the dining room of his house

stinging lashes was witnessed by many people on Spring street opposite the State Prison this morning.The man was G.L.Catton, an official of the prison, and the woman his wife.Although a powerfully built man, he made no attempt to disarm the enraged woman, but sought refuge in a stable near by.She attempted to follow him, but he closed the door in such a manner as to catch her hand and hold her a prisoner on the outside.Friends interfered and induced them to settie the matter.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 WEATHER REPORT, MONTREAL, April 9, Temperature in the shade by standard

it may find some use, however, as a harmless ingredient in cheap so-called coffee preparations.Chicago Grain and Provision Markets.The upward movement in wheat continues to gain strength and May option to-day touched S2kc, but fell cff again to 81ÿc, closing at 8ljc.Corn was strong and advancing.Hog products firm, not much changed.Receipts of hogs to-day 18,000.Receipts.Shipments.Flour, barrels 4,3 21,435 14,358 \u2018Wheat, bushels.17,000 78.000 Corn, Cin 30L,000 555,000 Oats, « .129,000 244,000 Rye, se .6,000 27,000 Barley, $e .34,000 10.000 A private despatch to Mr.E.McLea- nan says : Michigan State crop reports unfavorable, average 74, the lowest in the history of the department.\u201d A year ago the average was 92 and in 1383 it was 94.Mr.E.McLennan, 22 St John street (Western Chambers), reports the Chicago grain and provision markets as follows: CHICAGO, April 9, aie hn 2 mw S81 8 &® 8 g 82 221 5 PF at =|23 sR E88 8/8 | an e : © & T1: lo jes & Ji |: | & 30H 82}- 87 81;

CHicaGo, April 7.\u2014Heavy rains last week made spring seeding late, but revived the winter wheat crop, which for the last thirty days has been subjected to very severe trials.This is the seeding season, the month in which farmers expect to be and ought to be in their fislds.Snow storms, freezing weather and rains kept them out of their fields during March, but April so far 18 giving us some good weather.Of course, at this season of the year itis better to have the ground wet than dry; in & dry season seed germinates slowly and the stands of spring wheat and oats are irregular and thin.With no storms the present week, we shall see the seeding of spring wheat in the far northwest commenced, and the seeding of oats (a crop second now in yield to the corn crop) progressing satisfactory in every State north of the Ohio River, Ail reports at present as to acreaze either of spring wheat or oats are made upon sentiment rather than fact.At this season of the year, when grain is advance ing, farmers largely increase the acreage of a crop and do just the opposite on a declining market.Farmers seem to have very little method or idea as to the area they will gow.The weather seems to be the only thing which governs them.1f good weather, every acre possible to be sown goes in, irrespective of price or demand.While there never has been in the history of this country a time when more thought and common sense ought to be used with regard to the area to be gown and planted than now, yet I look for no radical change, for reasons asstat- ed above\u2014good April, big acreage\u2014poor April, reduced.As to the winter wheat outlook, there is certainly no improvement in the condition since thirty days ago, further than this, that the weather is now such that reports come in giving percentage of damage.These all vary from 10 to 50 per cent.of wheat having been winter-killed.There is no doubt that wheat has come out of winter in a weakly condition, and that the freezes during March, which were so severe, injured more or less of the plant and killed outright à certain percentage of it.I think the fairest and most conservative way to look at the situation at the present time is this, that we shall have more or less of a spotted and uneven yield.Where the wheat bas pulled through the winter all right we shall hear of just as good a crop as was made in 1889 ; and, on the other hand, in many localities wheat will prove almost an on- tire failure.Witha warm wet April, wheat from now until the 1st of May will pick up very rapidly ; but with a cold, dry month the outcome will be just the opposite.The prospects are that spring wheat seeding in Minnesota and Dakota will be quite general the present week.The season as a whole is a late one, but a period of ten or twelve days of good weather at this time is what the country is watching and waiting for., ea Smoke Hand-Made Cigar, Nectar, 5 Cents.HALIFAX FLOUR MARKET.Havrrax, N.S.April 9.\u2014Flour market steady.Choice pastry, American, $6.75 ;

is called in France, and china, as it is known in the United States, is very interesting.The finding of the kaolin or china clay is due to à woman, and this is by no means the least of the many good things that France can credit to the account of the fairer sex.Alongside of Mm, de Stael and Joan of Arc, who recently have been named by a distinguished French author as the women in French history most worthy of honor, should be mentioned the name of à woman almost unknown to fame, whose biography never yet has been written, but whose observing eye has given to France one of her noblest industries and has made her native place ever memorable because of the art which her discovery established.The name of this unknown heroine is Mme.Darnet.She was the wife of a country doctor living in very moderate circumstances in the littletown of St.Yrieix, Department of Haute Vienne, France.Ii the law of gravitation was discovered by an apple falling, if the escaping of steam from the spout of a tea kettle firat suggested the steam engine, the discovery of the kaolin which makes the finest china in the world to-day is no less strange and interesting, Mme.Darnet, according to French custom, took some clothes that she intended to wash down to the bank of a little stream.The earth where she placed the garments was very white, but recent rains had made the white, chalky substance quite soft.She found, in washing the garments next the ground, that some of the earth adhered to the clothes and in washing it off she found that it was almost as good as soap and greatly facilitated the removal of all kinds of dirt.Overjoyed with her discovery she hastened to inform her husband that she had found a soap mine.The doctor, her husband, was a very good chemist, and after a careful analysis of the earth pronounced the one word that France was longing to hear\u2014kaolin, He straightway charged his wife to guard her secret and sought to buy the land.Bat the discovery leaked out and real estate rose enormously in that vicinity, and it is doubtful whether Mme.Darnet was rewarded for her wonderful find.This event occurred somewhere about the year 1760, about the same time tte royal porcelain factory was removed from St.Cloud to Livres, Where it has since remained, and the St, Yrieix kaolin took the place of the clay bought from China, England and else- Where.China factories now began to be established at Paris, Limoges and Bor- Jeux, Among the different manuface Urers was Mr.Jean Pouyat, who first sean at Paris, but finding the transport Oo clay very costly\u2014water communica- om Was impossible and the railroads fore unknown\u2014he removed his factory des, à city not far from the mine, bas do rablished there a factory which Le stand for more than a century and a Joarer.Monarchies, revolutions, dic- orshipe, communes, empires and re- om lics have come and gone, but through ie the political vicissitudes ex- pr Paced by the eountry the house ouyat has stood and still stands house to-day is M.erable, dignified tyra of the old school gentry, now in his 84th ve i tinctly recalls the first Napoleon oo Oe fDtertain his guests by the hour

Children Grv for thers with the latter modo It has been the ambition of the house al- Ways to lead in the matter of designs as well as shapes, and the models made would fill an immense storehouse.The work of such a factory as that of Mr.Pouyat is like an army carefully divided among modelers, designers, decorators, potters, firemen, etc.As the factory hag obtained kaolin mines no expense is spared in the first essential to good china, viz, good clay.ltis not surprising under such circumstances to note that there has hardly been an exhibition for the last fifty years at which the house of Pouyat has not carried off a prize.Few French houses have shown the enterprise cf the hcuse above mentioned.Recently a branch has been establlshed in New York and we can well afford to welcome to our country a house that is known wherever there is civilization.We can take it as a compliment when noted houses come to us With their choicest wares.The fact is becoming more and more apparent that the best services that are made now no longer grace the tables of foreigners, but adorn the hospitable boards of the land we are happy to call our own.Someone has said that \u201cthers is a civilizing effect in good china.\u201d I, for one, firmly believe it, and as I look over the Custom House reports I am bappy to note that over two-thirds of all the china mauutactured at Limoges finds its way to the United States.This is enough of itself to bespeak for us good taste, and it tells its own story of our own civilization and national prosperity.\u2014\u2014>\u2014\u2014_\u2014 Smoke Eand-Made Cigar,

people were lost in the floods of the Thames and Severn, and off the coast of Holland.During the same storm 12 English men-of-war, with 1,800 men on board, were lost in sight of their own shore.The famous Eddystone lighthouse was destroyed, and with it its ingenious contriver, Winstanley.Seven thousand Swedes perished in a snowstorm in 1719.A storm in India on Oct.11, 1737, is said to have killed 30,000 people.At Havana a storm on Oct.26, 1768, destroyed over 4,000 houses and 1,000 people.On April 22, 1782, 7,000 people were destroyed by a hurricane at Seerat, in the East Indies.A big storm drove 143 wrecks on the British coast May 26, 1861.On June 26, 1875, 250 peo- le were killed at Buda-Pesth, Hungary.fn September of the same year a storm on the coast of Texas swept many villages away and caused an immense loss of life.On December 28, 1879, the Tay bridge in Scotland was blown down and over 100 persons were killed.Destructive tornadoes in the western part of this country caused great loss of life and property in April, 1880.The great Johns- town disaster of last May in Pennsylvania is still fresh in the memories of all.Millions of dollars\u2019 worth of

p.m.QUARTERLY MEETING of 8t.George's s0- ciety, at 8.15 p.m.A VOICE FROM THE NORTHWEST.The speech of Mr.A.W.Ross of Lis- gar was, in many respects, the best that has been delivered from the Govern- went side during the recent debate on Mr.Toster\u2019s erratic budget.If its theories were unsound, they had at least a colourable pretext for their advancement, and they were intermingled with {truths that are pot always heard from Ministerial supporters.Mr, Davin may gay that the present Government is a cabinet of brainless antiques, or something to that effect, but then Davin is a privileged person that the House resolutely declines to take quite geriously ; when Mr.Ross, however, declares that in matters concerning the development of the Northwest the Government has been recreant to its trust, he strikes, a chord that reverberates in the breast of every true Canadian not reduced to insensibilitiy by boodle.Of course, he held the Liberal party equally culpable ; that from a supporter of Sir John Macdonald goes without saying.It would hardly have been decent in Mr.Ross not to say at least that much of his leader\u2019s opponents.But he struck the keynote of the failure to people or fairly develop the great inheritance which has cost s0 much when he said that the Government had been recreant to its trust.It is what every newspaper in the Northwest, Conservative and Liberal, is practically saying day in and day out, and it was at the top of Mr.Davin\u2019s mind wnen he characterized Sir John Macdonald\u2019s Cabinet ministers as brainless antiques.Mr.Ross\u2019 speech was remarkable for its sincerity, its fearlessness in telling the truth as he apprehended the facts of our national life, and its virile grappling with the stocks and stones that have been purposely throwa, or allowed to accumulate, in the path of our national progress.It was as if a man had observed an opportunity for useful labour and had gone at it with his coat off.\u2018The speech was the bubbling over\u2014 needless to say in refined and expressive language\u2014of the well of long suppressed complaint and earnest desira to end the incapable and deleteiiovs management ander which the Northwest has suffered for some years.Mr.Ross complained of one or two hampering Orders-in-Council of the Mackenzie regime.We think ourselves that the effect of these had not been duly considered when they were passed, but no Governmeat, least of all one distinguished for its bona-fides and integrity as Mr.Mackenzie\u2019s was, can altogether avoid mistakes in dealing with a new country.But the House would have appreciated a further revelation of Mr.Ross\u2019 knowledge concerning the host of mistakes, if indeed they do not deserve a harsher name, that followed so quickly upon one another on Sir John\u2019s return to power, when he had the experience of others to guide him, and which resulted in the disastrous emigration of Canadians to Dakota and other \u2018Western States.Tho weak point of Mr.Ross\u2019s speech\u2014strong in descripcive ability but weak in logic\u2014was his reference to the condition of the farming interest in the United States.The Ameri can farmers have been struggling for many years against the burdens which the system of protection has cast upon them, and Mr.Ross showed, in a very lucid and convincing mannar, the deplorable condition at wbich they have arrived, The degree to which their farms are mortgaged, the efforts they have made to meet the calls to which they have been subjected, and the poor remnant of profit, hardly enough to clothe and feed their families, which has been left to them, were ably put, but with strange inconsistency Mr.Ross voted for the continuance in Canada of that very system which {8 ruining the farmers of the United Stajes and will do the same for our own.In Canada the milistones of protection have been at work for a fe w years only; in the United States they bave been grinding the farmers for three times as long and necessarily with greater visible result.What logic, therefore, can there be in desiring fo perpeta- ate here that which has been so disastrous there?While the press of tha Northwest and of Manitoba is demanding a relief from the heavy burden of taxation and greater freedom of trade with our neighbours, Mr.Ross expects the fall tale of bricks, but withholds the straw for which the workers clamour.HARASSING BUSINESS.The tariff changes, and the extraordinary amount of bungling which characterizes thelr enforcement by the Customs Department, are causing business ymen no end of annoyance and trouble.Importers have to make their entries \u201c subject to amendment.\u201d The consequence 18 that they cannot tell whether they will have to pay an additional amount of duty or receive a refund, and therefore are unable to definitely fix prices i amended duty may sweep away thei profit altogether or involve actual loss.The order of the Customs Department to have goods entered * subject to amendment,\u201d indicates that the Government are in astate of uncertainty as to'whether or not they will adhere to the changes made, go back to the old rate, or make* further changes.They seem to have no idea of the extent to which they are harassing the business of the country by such a course, or they probably do not care, their principal object being to maintain the support and favor of the protected classes.Sach trifling with the business interests of the country is little short of infamous.Bat what can be expected when a tyro in finance like Minister Foster has the assurance to tell the representatives of the greatest lumber firms of Canada that he knows better than they do how the tariff increases wiil affect their industry ?The business interests of Canada have too long been made the football of amateur statesmen.It ig time the country\u2019s affairs were placed in charge of men possessed of ability, experience and discretion, even if they do not possess so much stilted assurance as Finance Minister Foster.WHAT IS IT TO BE?It is understood that the bill of which the Government has given notice, \u201crespecting United States fishermen,\u201d will provide for the continuance of the modus vivendi, Before it can pass the House of Commons some information must be forthcoming as to the position of the negotiations now going on at Washington between the British ambassador and the U.S.Government, with Mr.Tupper as Canadian official in wait- ing\u2014outside.There should be some clause in some bill, treaty, or other document providing a modus vivendi for those Canadian sealers who may be cast adrift in Alaska after their vessels have been seized and beached.The last ons, for want of a modus vivendi, died from exposure and want.It is very desirable that these vexed questions with the United States should be settled on an amicable, dignified and otherwise satisfactory basis, but so far Canadian experience teaches that the Government of England seek only a modus of ridding themselves of inconvenisnt questions without much concern for the colonists.Just now Newfoundland is jurging some gentle complaint on this score, and it is impossible to avoid the conclusion that if Lord Salisbury\u2019s latest agreement, whatever it may be, is of the don\u2019t-care- a-dump-for the-colonists kind some plain speaking will take place throughout the Dominion.THE CARAQUET RAILWAY, On the seventh page of to-day\u2019s HeraLD we publish from the London Railway Neus a rather interesting report of proceedings at a meeting of bondholders.of the Caraquet Railway, an enterprise which appears to be regarded by English investors as on a level with that other malodorous enterprise, the Canadian Direct Meat Company.To put it plainly, the bondholders declare, in very diplomatic language it is true, that they have been deceived and victimized, and have decided to take legal action to get their interest on the money invested, or to find out in what insatiable maelstrom it has been swallowed up.The Caraquet Railway is 67 miles long, extending from Bathurst, on the Intercolonial, to Shippe- gan harbor on the Baie des Chale eurs.It received a Dominion sab- sidy of $224,000, and, if we are not mistaken, nearly as large a subsidy from the Government of New Brunswick.The principal owner of the line is Mr.K.F.Burue, M.P.for Glou- cester\u2014practically he is the company.When bonds ofthe company were put on the London market in 1885, they were viewed with suspicion by investors and only a small percentage taken.In June, 1886, the Imperial Bank came to the rescue, and issued a prospectus setting forth the advantages and paying prospects of the line, which were backed up by glowing statements from Caua- dian Government engineers, and intimating that it wouid be a through line of communication from England to Canada.On the strength of these representations the bonds were taken up by the public.During the three years ended July 1, 1889, the interest on the bords was provided for out of the subsidies, but that fund being exhausted, and there being nothing forthcoming from earnings\u2014which for the year ended June 30, 1889, showed a deficit of over $3,000\u2014the bondholders have determined to take action against the Imperial Bank which issued the misleading prospectus.That prospectus, among other things, set forth that the road would earn a net revenue of at least £200 per mile, and as only £100 per mile would be required to pay the bond interest, £100 per mile would be available for dividends.The actual result is that the gross earnings of the road only amounted to about £50 per mile per annum, while the working expenses, in the four years ended June 30, 1889, exceeded the total earnings by £417.The bondholders are therefore fully justified in concluding that they capnot got either interest or dividend out of an enterprise which makes such a showing as that, and consequently have determined to hold the issuers of the prospectus legally responsible.As the matter is in a fair way of being ventilated in the courts, it is probable some interesting revelations may be made as to where the responsibility rests for the misleading statements placed in the prospectus issued by the Imperial Bank.Perhaps Mr.Burns could explain if he would.If our recollection of the circumstances is correct, when Sir Charles Topper asked Parliament to grant a subsidy to this road he boomed it as \u201ca magnificent undertaking,\u201d and naturally enough English investors probably drew the conclusion that the Dominion Government would not subsidize a wild-cat scheme that was not going to earn enough to at least pay working expenses.Whatever they may have supposed then, they know better now.In this connection it is rather suggestive to note from the report of proceedings of the bondholders\u2019 meeting, that Sir Charles Tupper is strangely and not very creditably mixed up in the affair.It looks as if he were allowing himself to be made a party, in conjunction with the principal owner of the road, to transactions designed to thwart the steps which the bondholders have taken to get light thrown on the true inwardness of the enterprise, just ag he seems to have been strangely and improperly mixed up in the Direct Meat enterprise.What interest can he have in compromising his own position and the reputation of the Government and people of Canada, by allowing himself to get mixed up in transactions which are calculated to work irretrievable injury to legitimate Canadian euterprises among English investors ?This is a question that requires ventilation.a] ONE OF THE STUPID N.P, ORGANS.A bumptious Tory paper, which pro- fosses a lofty disdain for the United States, their trade, their tariff, and everything belonging to that nation, and which seems to be imbued with the high-flown ideas of dignity preached by General Laurie, M.P.for Shelburne, has the following : England will take from us all the poultry, all the eggs, and all the agricultural products wo can send her, free of duty; and the duty imposed by the United States will more than counterbalance the expense of transportation.In fact, with our home market preserved intact, and our trade with England kept, we see no more reason for regarding the eoercive measures of the United States than we do for hankering after that \u2018market of sixty millions\u201d that is not able to give its prolucar Hving prices.Let us see what the trade and navigation tables say.Last year we exported goods, the produce of Canada, to the value of $77,201,804.The United States proved our best customer, taking Canadian goods to the value of $36,449,288, in spite of their high tariff, while Great Britain, to whose markets we have free access, only took $33,504,281 worth.The different classes of exports to the two countries stand as follows, (we refer to goods the produce of Canada): It will be seen that it is only in the matter of animals and their produce that Great Britaln took more from us than the United States did.Taking

the British market we are not doing that, for our trade with Great Britain is declining under the national policy, whereas it is increasing with the United States in spite of high tariffs on both sides of the line.The United States are our best customers and our natural market, and the facts and figures prove it.What some Tory papers aq know about our trade relations with other countries would fill several guod- sized volumes.A POLITICAL VESUVIUS.1 The Calgary Herald, a paper which gives the Dominion Goverament a pretty straight support in its general policy, in its issue of April 3rd, indulges in a very caustic criticism of Ganeral Middleton in connection with the Brymner fur scandal.In reviewing the case it points out that wbat the General\u2019s \u201c counsel said by ** his authority before the committee\u201d ut its first meeting \u2018\u2018does mot agres with \u201c what are understood to be the facts of * the case, and scarcely harmonizes with \u201c the testimony offered by the General \u2018 himself\u201d That is pretty severe, but worse follows.The Herald contrasts the denial made by Middleton\u2019s connsel that he had \u201cany intention of appropriating * or removing the halfbreed\u2019s furs,\u201d with the fact that \u201cunder pressure of a per- \u201csonal examination on oath befora \u201cthe Parliamentary Committee he \u201cwas obliged to admit the illegal \u201cconfiscation aad, in effect, that \u2018\u201ctoere bad been\u2014to put it mildly\u2014 \u201ca body of equivocation concern- \u201cing it.The violation of the law *\u201c was confessed, and the code which * regclates the conduct of gentiemen and \u201c army officers was not less grossly violated.\u201d The Herald then says : The Government's embarrassment is there- tore extreme.The General is an Imperial officer recommended to the Government of Canada by the Imperial Government.Ifthe Canadian Government say they have no further use fer him, how is this going to affeet his position on the rolls of the British army ?Andifheisretained in chargeofthe Canadian \u2018What will the country say to it ?militia, what will the militia think of it?' The Canadian Government may wish to let THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMEKCIAL GAZETTE.THURSDAY.APRIL 10 General Middleton down casy.1f so, the General should aid in the operation by sending in his resignation forthwith.This may seem a hard thing to do, but after all it is the easiest way out of the difficulty.À resolution of Parliament dealing with the matter would result in something vastly more unpleasant.It will thus be the first scandal ended this session, though it may not be the last ; for we incline to the opinion that we are on the eve of some rather violent eruptions of this kind, possibly a very Vesuvius of corrupt revelations.When Government organs begin to take this view of General Middleton's conduct it looks as if his \u201cusefulness were gone.\u201d There is no need to discuss that pbase of the question any further\u2014the responsibility of dealing with it must rest on the Government and Parliament.What is of ominous importance and deserving of attention is the significant suggestion of the Herald that \u2018we \u2018 are on the eve of some rather violent \u201ceruptions of this kind, possibly a very \u201cVesuvius of corrupt revelations.\u201d Rykert\u2019s timber limit scandal, the Brym- ner fur scandal, and probably its knowledge that there are numerous unsavory scandals that should be exposed, must have \u201c\u2018turned\u201d the political stomach of our contemporary, and compelled it, between the spasms, to ejaculate * a very Vesuvius of corrupt revelatione.\u201d Will Siz John Macdonald take note of this damaging confession of one of his Northwest organs ?WE very much doubt whether Mr.Davin 18 justified in citiog Philip of Macedon and Demosthenes as authorities supporting Canada\u2019s N.P.Phil once remarked that he liked \u2018to plough with a silver share,\u201d and of course the N.P.is practically a scheme of colossal and outrageous bribery, but beyond this he made no direct assertion that he would vote for Sir Jobn.And certainly Demosthenes, with the recollection of that \u201ccrown\u201d business, would never have bean caught recommending accepting testimonials in the way our ministers do.WHAT OTHERS BAYA TRUISM.Foster's National Policy can raise the tariff on and the price of everything the workingman has to buy, but it cannot raise his wages.\u2014 Hamilton Times.THE INEVITABLE RESULT.The Tarouto Monetary Times rightly concludes that the proposal to increase the tariff taxes on both sides of the border, if carried into effact, will be seriously detrimental to both Canada and the United States.Of course it will.The higher the taxes, the less trade;

Parliament-Fourth Session.(SPECIAL TO TEE HERALD.} OrtawA, April 9.The members are nearly all back from ir Easter holidays and when the ve r took the chair at 3.10 the seats Spelt ly well filled.In replying to fair ; er Corren, Sir Hector Langevin stated ission would probably be ast Pod to-mérrow to investigate the AP tion of Montreal harbor.Mr.Car- oe inted out the necessity of the mat ning attended to at once as the ice was likely to break up at any moment, Mr.Gilmor called attention to an article in 8 Fredericton paper which made charges against the Militia Department which, if trae, will make trouble for somebody.It states that although the Canada Temperance act is in force po less than four bars are allowed to be canteens.po dolphe Caron promised to make iries.; emo anderkin asked Sir John to allow the evidence in the Baltic outrage investigation to be brought before the House, a8 he understood that justice had not been evenly dealt out.The Premier replied that he would take the matter into consideration.After a reference to the death of Mr, Chisholm by Sir John, the House went into Committe of Ways and Means to discuss Mr.Foster's resolution bearing on the tariff, Aithough there was considerable discussion over the first clauses no real fight took place until clause 7 was reached.It proposed to fine and imprison any person who sends or brings | into Canada, or is found in possession of, any bill beading or other paper appearing to be a heading or blank capable of being filled up and used as an invoice.It was pointed out by the various speakers that it would be a most unjust and unfair law.During the discussion Mr.Bowell made use of an insinuation regarding the honesty of the Opposition in opposing the clause.; The first chance he got Mr.Mitchell rose and went for the Minister in such a manner that even his colleagues felt sorry for him.Mr.Mitchell characterized his words as infamous, and declared the proposed clause fo be equally infamous.He upheld Mr, Weldon\u2019s (St.Jobn) view thac the words \u201cwith intent to defraud\u201d should be inserted.The discussion went on and gradually got warm, the Opposition having decidedly the best of the arzument.Sir John Thompson claimed that the clause would be no more wrong than the law which now provided a penalty for keeping empty cigar boxes.Mr.Mitchell jumped up\u2014*1Is there a penalty for that?\u2019 he asked.Mr.Bowell answered in the affirmative, and immediately Hon.Peter took out his keys and sent a page to his room to destroy a box which he had left there.Messrs.Foster, Thompson and Bowell would not agree to any change, and the law will now stand, that if a man is found with a blank certificate he is liable to fine and imprisonment.When clause 5 of schedule A was reached there was more discussion.It referred to the duty of 30 per cent upon living animals.The arguments against this measure aroused Mr.Foster, and he made a fifteen minutes\u2019 speech, in which he made use of all his oratorical powers, but beyond this, his address amounted to nothing.When be finished, Bir Richard Cartwright rose, and, instead of using flowery language simply calculated to arouse enthusiasm, he opened the blue books and made a sad mess of the wild stataments of the Minister of Finance.Mr.Foster spoke for the visitors\u2019 pleasure ; Sir Richard spoke for Mr.Foster's displeasure, and well he succeeded.At six o'clock the committee rose.AFTER RECESS, Mr.Cuarlton continued the debate.His address was of a similar character to the one made on Sir Richard Cartwright's amendment, although he made many good arguments, which were considerably strengthened by McMullen, who seldom speaks without using facts and figures to prove his case.McMillan, Huron, spoke from the farmers\u2019 standpoint.He showed how little such an act as the one proposed would benefit farmers.Dr.Landerkin, as usual, made lots of fun, mixed up with good common sense.He said that as the Government had declared against reciprocity in natural products they should, for the honor of the country, wipe their standing offer from the statute books, Mr.Foster, he said, seemed to think it wise statemanship for Canada to quarrel with her best customers.After Mr.Mulock spoke, Mr.Bowell rose and declared that despite all that could be said the Government would not retreat from the position they had taken 1n Increasing the duties.Mr.Mills\u2019 speech was ons of the best delivered during the debate.He pointed out that the tone of defiance adopted by the Government had caused Americans to increase the duties upon products imported from Canada.Mr.Patterson (Brant), drew a number of comparisons which proved without any doubt that the Government would make a big mistake in passing such a clause as the one under discussion.He Showed that Canada was only too gad to export cattle \u2018and how could be encouraged by other countries When such a law as the one proposed Waa upon the Canadian statutes.Seats, Figher, Pope and Gilmor spoke, aller which Mr, qe journment 1.Foster moved the ad SESSIONAL NOTES.THE ALIEN LABOR COMMISSION, The alien labor commi .i mmittee met this ints ng

the Grand Trunk Railway who were compelled at great inconvenience to themselves and families go over to the other side.Several oth witnesses gave testimony of a similar character.Mr.J.Cook, a Gananoque farmer, gave evidence as to how the act affected farmers.He said that he did not believe there were ten men in his district but were opposed to the measure proposed by Mr.Taylor.What they wanted was protection, not retaliation.In reply to a question put by Dr.Wilson, he said that the only place where he knew foreign labor was in force in Canada was in an establishment belonging to Mr, Taylor, the mover ot the bill under discussion.Mr, Taylor admitted that he had three American mechanics in his works.The committee will meet again next Tuesday.DEPUTATION OF MONTREAL CHEMISTS.Messrs.W.8.Patterson, J.H.G.Drelon and J.McArthur formed a deputation to-day from Montreal.They represent the chemists of the city, and are here to urge upon the Ministers the necessity of rearranging the tariff as far as chemicals are concerned.RAILWAY AND CANALS COMMITTEE, The Railways, Canals and Telegraph Lines Committee had a lengthy sitting this morning, spending their whole time in discussing the proposed Inverness and Victoria Railway.Dr.Cameron strongly opposed the scheme, and when the vote upon the preamble was called for, the committee was almost unanimous in declaring it

April 9.\u2014Young Mr.Cornell says that the reports about his father do him an injustice.He says that the reports concerning the mental condition of his father, which were published six months ago, were false.No one knows as well as Mr.Cornell himself why the recent judgments have been allowed to be entered against him, and when he is ready to explain the matter he can do so.Until then if is

general impression being that Bill Barnes got his just deserts.It was Governor Proctor Knott who pardoned the dead desperado, and not Governor Buckner, meer How Mr.Morgan Met His Death.LoxpoN, April

Beaulieu.As the vehicle was nearing Eze a railway train passed, upon which Mr.Morgan observed a friend (Mr.Spencer Brunton).Mr.Bran- ton waved his hand, and Mr.Morgan stood up in his carriage and

Manufacturers\u2019 Association by relating a story of benevolence, says the Newark Journal.A friend of his, he said, was walking down to business one morning when he saw a young woman with a baby in her arms sitting on a church step and weeping.The man, whom Mr.Murphy called Jones, was touched by her apparent des- tress and asked her what was the cause of it.*I1 walked into town,\u201d she replied, \u201cto have the baby baptizad, and now it will cost me $3 to have the service performed.I haven\u2019t the money and I don\u2019t know what to do.\u2019 \u201cWell, that's a small matter,\u201d said Jones, \u201cI haven't $3 in change, but here's a $10 bill, Take it and I will wait here for the change,\u201d The woman returned in a short time and handed Jones $7.He patted the child\u2019s head and went down town, rejoicing in his own goodness.He felt good all day and his countenance shone with an unusual brightness.His associates all noticed the change and finaily one of them asked him the cause of it.\u201cI am happier than usual to-day,\u201d said Jones, \u201cand the reason of it is that I did three good things on my way down town this morning.\u201d He related the occurrence and wound up by saying: \u201cSo I performed a deed of charity, started a little child on its way to paradise\u2014and got seven good dollars for a counterfeit $10 bill.\u201d treme One Little Piggle 1 owned a litter of pigs.They throve well until a month old, when their throats swelled, and spite of all remedies they all died except one, which was nearly dead.Laughingly I said I would try Yellow Oil, and gave it a thorough application.He improved at once, and soon Was all right.Wirrrau Wrnpson, Brinsley, Ont IN THE COURTS.A Saloon Keeper Who Sold Liquor to a Squaw Gets Into

latter compromised its claim for $700,000 against the Grand Trunk Railway due on St.Lawrence and Atlantic Railway bonds held by it for the promise of a $300,000 station, to be constructed by the latter, was up for hearing yesterday in the Superior court.The city comptroller, Mr.Robb, in the course of his examination explained to Mr.Barnard, Q.C., that the city made a compromise, \u2018 because you, yourself, said, in your opinion, that the possibility of seizing the G.T.R.Co.was by no means certain, The difficulty of collecting the amount would, in itself, quite suffice to warrant a compromise.this difficulty consisted in ascertaining on what objects belonging to the company we could realize.I did nothing, it is true, to ascertain in what, exactly, the difficulty consisted, but I submitted the matter to the then City Attorney.\u201d WANT HIM IMPRISONED.Messrs.Cruikshank & Ferguson, on behalf of Messrs.Birchell & Wickett, of Toronto, yesterday filed a petition to have Mr.M.C.Mullarkey, the insolvect boot and shoe manufacturer, confined to jail for one year.The grounds on which the petition is founded are that he secreted his property and effacts with intent to defraud his creditors; that within a few months of his failure, when he must have known he was insolvent, he drew large sums from his business for his private business, and in the last month $5,000; that there is an unexplained loss of $78,000 from his statement of December, 1888, and December, 1889.Mr.C.J.Doherty, Q.C.who appeared for Mr.Mullarkey, reserving argument on the facts, which he denies in every particular, argued that the petition comes too late, namely only one day before the expiration of the four months of delay allowed by law.Decision was reserved by Mr.Justice Mathieu.MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.A woman residing on St.Phillippe street was arrested yesterday morning by Private Detective Malo on the charge of having stolen a certain quantity of jewels, the property of Mr.Joseph Ver- mette, watchmaker, on St.Lawrence street.The accused pleaded not guilty and was remanded for a couple of days, pending the results of the examination.Charles Brown, or \u201cLittle Horace,\u201d is said by Mr.Payette to be acting in a very peculiar manner, hiding himself as much as possible in bis cell and diving into it from the Corridor always on the approach of the officials.The Chinaman, who a few days ago arrived in the city by the C.P.R.from British Columbia, and who was found to be insane on his arrival in Montreal, was yesterday remanded for eight days by the Recorder for medical examination.re COULDNT LET SUCH GAME ESCAPE.The man had been sitting in the box office for two hours willing to seil seats for the grand Sunday concert, but buyers were few,

A general meeting of the bondholders of the Caraquet Railway Company was held on Tuesday, March 25, 1890, at the offices of the English Association of American Bond and Share Holders, Limited, 5, Great Winchester street, to receive the report of the Bondholders\u2019 Committee.Mr.Joseph Price occupied the chair.The Chairman said they were aware that 8 meeting had been held in that room last March to elect a committee to look after the interests of the bondholders.The selection wus made, and the members of the committee were appointed from the names taken at the door, and comprised the largest bondholders in the company.They had hsld several meetings, and ne had no doubt they had noticed outside criticisms in the news papers to the effect that had been doing nothing.It was impossible for those who were not advised to know what was being done, but they had held meeting after meeting in the interest of the bondholders.Then they came to January, and what they all felt would take place did take place, the default in the interest on the bonds.The committee then prepared their report, and that report bad been delayed for reasons which be would give them a little later on.Now, in connection with this unfortunate undertaking he thought it would be the best way to deal with the matter in a very simple form.First of all, to consider what they were led toexpect, in the second place what they had received, and the next place what the difference between the promise and the performance had been, and afterwards as to who was responsible for it.It would then be for them to take into consideration what steps should be taken for their own protection.In the first place, what were they Jed to expect?There were two prospectuses issued, the first by Messrs.Mee and Billings asking £50,000 out of £100,000, £20,000 f which it was already privately subscribed.The second prospectus was issued by tbe Imperial Bank asking for £10,000, sothat it was very clear that on the Mee and Billings\u2019 prospectus there cculd only have been £10,000 subscribed by the public.In the Mee and Billings\u2019 prospectus they gave various statements, rome from the Government engineer, and estimates of other Canadian railways, on which they estimated the probable annual receipts per mile at £650, and that, taking the working of the line at 60 per cent, there would be more than double enough to pay the interest on bonds.Then he came to the Imperial Bank prospectus, and they stated that the ordinary share capital of the company was $950,000, or £190,000, the whele of which had been allotted in Canada.Yor that $950,000 of stock, there were only eighteen shareholders, the principal one being Mr.K.F.Burns, who held 17,360 shares, so that out of his own investment he must bave found ÿ868,6C0 in cash.Of course, the only conclusion they could come to when they saw such a list of shareholders was that it was a very nominal subscription.At ibe same time in the Imperial Bank proepectus they said that the bonds were se:ured upon 40 miles of railway in operation, 20 milee in course of construction, and on £44,460 uncalled capital of the compeny.He did not know where the uncalled capital came in, becauss, according to the prospectus, the total amount was subscribed by these people, but the important point in the Imperial Bank prospectus was this, that the amount required out of revenue to pay the interest was only £100 per mile, and that a carefully prepared estimate based upon the earnings of the line then open (about 40 miles out of the 60) showed that arevenue of at least £200 per mile could be expected.In order to do this, they would require a gross revenue of £600 per mile, which agreed with Mee and Billings\u2019 estimate of £650 yer mile.That was what subscribing bondholders were led to expect.Now what did they receive?The gross receipts bad averaged £50 per mile.It would, therefore, be perfectly plain to any person not connected with the working of a railway that the idea of a railway of (0 miles paying £50 per mile meant that if they employed fifty men at £1 a week all the gross receipts would be absorbed.He would give them what the gross earnings of the railway were for the last four years.The prospectus of the Imperial Bank was issued in June, 1886, and at that time the line was 40 \u201cmiles in length, with twenty miles more under construc- vor, In 1886 it earned £2170; in 1887, £2530; in 1888, £2,010; and in 1859, £3,550.With regard to the railway it- telf and the capital of the railway, the line was given now as 68 miles in length, and the Government had granted subsidies to the extent of $372,000.The bonds were for $500,000, and the stock $950,000, said to be paid up to the extent $872,000, There were 131 bondholders in the com- veny, coverir g £100,000 of bonds.There were 31 subscribers under the Mee and Billings\u2019 prospectus, and 100 under the Imrerial Bank prospectus.The contract was originally stated to be for £4,800 per mile.We regard the line itself, he leerd that it was a very cheap line to build, with every advantage on the spot, cheapening the construction and cheapening operations.The rails were only 50 1b.rails, and he was told the line ig in very bad order.Now the question was, who was responsiole for the statement which had been made ?The committee thought if any one had subscribed for their bonds on the faith of the statements in the prospectus they bad a claim on the issuers.The committee was formed in that room by taking those i who had the largest interest, irrespactive of whether they bad subscribed under cne of the prospectuses or had bought in the cpen market.Of course they would see by the report ofthe committee that : tbe main point was the opinion of coun sel with reference to the issue of the prospectus by the Imperial Bank.Counsels opinion was clear as to that.It would not be prudent for him to read the whole of the opinion, but he would read them the following extract : \u201cThe paragraph which purports to set out the security for the bonds proposed to be issued appears 10 us to allege that £193.32 has en expeuded, and that there remained a sum of £14.460 in share capital issuad but no.carted up, which was or would be available.It is suggested that the substantial truth of desirable to go into that ma\", hnt he might mention that Mr.Lovely\u2019s name Lis allegation is doubtful, and if untrue it | 8pPeared in the Imperial Bank\u2019s list .constitutes a serious misrepresentation, and though it is possible that the bank may ba ! able to show that its representation if not well founded was not made recklessly, so th at tho holders complaining ran considerable risk of failure, we think they wouid be justified in taking iegal action against the bank upon it, so far, at any rate, as to obtain discovery.\u201d He had mentioned that there had been some little delay with regard to the issue of the report of the committes, and that had arisen with regard to a matter which came to the knowledge of the committee a fortnight or three weeks ago.It was suggested that negotiations had baen going on with the Canadian Government and might be carried to a successful termination, to obtain something for the railway.The members of the committee thereupon suggested that he should see Sir Charles Tupper, the High Com- miesioner for the Dominion,and ascertain his views.When he went down to \u2018Westminster he was astonished to find that a petition bad been sent out from this country, and it was more astonishing to him because the parties knew that there was a committee in existence.He was more greatly surprised to find that Mr.K.F.Burns had been in this conn- try and the committee did not know of it, and that he had attended a meeting at Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s wish with regard to the negotiations.Sir Charles Tupper told him that negotiations had been going on, but it would not be prudent to state what he said.Well, he went so far as to say that he had cabled out to the Government not to act on the first petition until Mr.Burns had arrived out.He called yesterday morning, and found that Sir Charles Tupper was away on the Continent, but bis secretary telegraphed up to Lim Jto say that he had not received ary answer, and the position was that there was a petition over there, and that subsequent representations would be made on Mr.Burns's arrival, and no doubt Lie was there now.Of course it would be far more satisfactory if they could come to some arrangement with tbe Canadian Government, rather than resort to law vroceedings, but the question was, What would the Canadian Government do?Of course they were all aware that a great number of repre- centations were made in the prospectus with regard to assurances from the Government engineer with reference to this line receiving certain support, and that it would, perbaps, be made a part of the through line of communication from England to Canada.He did not know what the form of the petition was.He had written to Messrs.Mee and Billings to ask, but they had treated that like they had done a great many other communications.Their answer was that the committee had not taken them into their confidence, and that they did not know why they should act in a different way to what they had done.Well, he thought they should have told the committee what the petition was.He might say that Mr.Dalley, the broker of the issue, had treated them in the most frank manner, and he saw po reason why Messrs.Mee and Billings should not have done the same.The firm thought they were perfectly justified in doing what they did with rezard to the negotiations behind the backs of the bondholders\u2019 committee, who would have been very willing to have joined in any steps for the general interests of the bondholders.Before any resolution was put to the meeting, he thought it would be better to invite any bondholder to make observations or to ask any questions on which the committee were able to give information.Mr.Morgan said he was the solicitor acting for Messrs.Mee and Billings, and he was instructed to ask the chairman to be good enough to read the letter from Messrs.Mee and Billings of March 24.The chairman said at the last meeting of the committee they were anxious to know what form of petition had been sent, and they sent over to Mesars.Mee's office, but utterly without success.In view of that, he wrote the following letter : \u201cMarch 24 \u2014Gentlemen,\u2014You are no doub* aware that a meeting of the bondholders of the Caraquet Railway is to be held here tomorrow.From an interview with Sir Charles Tupper at the beginning of this month, I learn that you and the trustees and Mr.K,F.Burns had been to see the High Commissioner with reference to a petition to the Canadian Government.It was surprising that, knowing as you do the existence of a committee representing the bondholders, you did not inform them of the steps which would be taken.Being desirous of laying all the information I can before the bondholders, I have tried through the secretary to the committee this morning to make an appointment with Mr.Mee, but so tar unsuccessfully.I therefore write to ask you it you can give the committee a copy of the petition ; also, if you have any return of the operations of the line later than June 30, 1839.\u201d The secretary went with the hope of seeing Mr.Mee, but not seeiog him, left the letter, to which came the following reply, which Mr.Morgan wished him to read: - \u201cMarch 24.\u201cTo Joseph Price, Esq, English Association of American Bond and Shareholders: \u201cDear Sir,\u2014We have your favor of this date informing us of the meeting of bondholders of the Caraquet Railway, to be held to-morrow, but we have received no previous notice thereof.\u201d (It was advertlsed in every newspaper of importance in Loudon.) \u2018 With reference to the interview to which you refer with 8ir Charles Tupper, when Mr.Burns was present, should Sir Charles Tupper, when you more recently called upon him, not have thought it expedient to inform you of what took place, we fear thai we cannot do so.\u201d (They assumed what they did not know.) \u201cCertain negotiations are proceeding with the Canadian Governmgnt, but we have not the permission of any of the parties moving in the matter to make the same public, and indeed during the progress of the negotiations referred to which it is hoped will be carried through satisfactorily, and which are of a character likely to benefit the bondholders, it is considered very undesirable that there should be any comment thereon.We have not been favored in any way with the confidence of the bondholders\u2019 committee, and therefore see no reasoa why we should act differently to what we have.We regret that we have not received the returns you ask for or would bave pleasure in supplying them.\u2019 Colonel Sparkes asked if the committee bad been acting with the directors or trustees of the company.The Chairman said the six directors were in Canada.Colonel Sparkes said he bad had a letter from General Frazer in which he informed him that there had been a letter sent by them ts the Canadian Government.The Chairmau-That is the patitior Colcnel Sparkes said he thought pre- bably the terms of the letier would have been alluded to.The Chairman said that was what be had tried to get from Mr.Mee, Colonel Sparkes said that was in Ng- vember last.The Chairman said he only found it out a few days ago.Colonel Sparkes said General Fraz>r was mistaken in the matter.He had not had the experience of the Evelish and Canadian money market, and he had an idea that the things Weie treated in the same way.Mr.Lovely said the chairman be 1 51d them counsel's opinion of the position of those who had subscribed to the second prospectus issued by the Imperial Bank Could he say what was the position o those who, like himself, had subscribed under the Mee and Billings\u2019 prospectus ?The Chairman thought it would not be Children Crv for A bondholder asked if there were any other parties interested in the railway any ordinary shareholders, ' The chairman said there wag $950,000 of ordinary capital, and there were only eighteen subscribers, of whom Mr.XK.F.Burns held 17,360 shares of $80 each.Mr.Geo.Coulter (a member of the committee) said he thought the committee had been placed at great disadvantage by not knowing the text of the recommendation of the trustees to the Canadian Government.He did not consider that the document was in any way privileged, and he called on Mr.Morgan the solicitor to Mr.Mee, to say whether be was willing to let them know what it was.He also called on the gentleman who had just sat down (Colonel Sparkes), who was not bound to secrecy, to tell them what the communication was.If these gentlemen were not willing to state it in public, they might communicate it privately to the secretary.A bondhoider asked if at the last meeting, when tte committee was appointed, either Mr.Mee or Mr.Billings was present.The Chairman said Mr.Mee was pre- £ent, and he promised to help them.Mr.Morgan said he was afraid he had not much information.He knew certain negotiations were proceeding, but he did not know the nature of them, and Mr Mee had given him no authority to make any statement.A bondholder\u2014Why did] you come here ?Mr.Morgan said they had taken their own course iu these negotiations, and the reason they gave for it was that they bad not tke permission of any of the parties moving in the matter to make the same public.He did not know that he could give them any information.A bondholder thought Mr.Morgan had come there to hear all they had to say and tell them nothing, (Laughter.) Mr.Brandon (solicitor to the committee) said Mr.Morgan represented the trustees besides being present on bekaif of Messrs, Mee and Billings.Colonel Sparkes said so far as he knew the trustees and English directors had asked the Government to take up the whole organization, take over the railway and so on.The chairman said thet was very indefinite ; they could only take the bonds and pay the money for them.Colonel Sparkes said it struck him that the Jetter was a curious one.They had askéd to have the trust bond transterred to him, and that the Government should enter in and preclose.Mr.Coulter\u2014By payment of the bonds.Colonel Sparkes said it appeared that would have to be agreed upon.The chairman asked if General Frazer bad told Colonel Sparkes that.Colonel Sparkes said he had sent him a copy of the letter written to Sir Charles Tupper.Mr.Coulter: Could you let us have a copy of the letter ?Colonel Sparkes said he could not without asking General Frazer's parmission, although, when he came to the meeting, be had no idea it was a privileged communication, but he would gend a copy so the chairman, Mr.Brandon asked if Mr.Morgan could tell him whether the deed of trust had been registered in Canada.Mr.Morgan said he understood it was sent out there for the purpose.Mr.Coulter said it was very necessary that every bondholder should communicate any valuable information which he ad.In reply to abondholder, the Chairman said they had communicated with the Imperial Bank asking if they deferred taking action while negotiations were going on with the Canadian Governmens, whether they would be prepared to allow the matter to stand over without prejudice.The answer to their letter was sent by the solicitors of the bank to their solicitor as follows :\u2014 \u201c March 8.\u2014Dear Sirs, Caraquet Railway.\u2014 Mr.Brown, the manager or the Imperial Bank, Limited, has handed to us your letter of February 28.Wefailt>see en what possible ground counsel can consider the bank responsible.Wehave seen a prospectus and a bond, apd in our opinion the bank had done all that possibly could be required of them.Mr.Brown regrets that your clients should have suffered any loss in the transaction, He hopes that you may be able to make some favorable s*rangement with the Dominion Government, but under all the circumstances he must decline to enter into any understand - ing orarrangement such as you suggest, and would prefer leaving the matter asi.stands.\u201d Of course they would see if proceadings were taken against the Imperial Bank they would have to discloss what they made the estimate upon when they said that £200 per mile would be the net return, which would mean £600 per mile gress, and would mean £36,000 per year.The earnings at that time were only £2,- 200, and had never been more than £3,- 400.They would have to find oul what they bad in their possession to justify them, and this could be ascertained by legal proceedings.In reply to another bondholder, The chairman said in Canada the smallest rate of working expenses would be 66 per cent.Mr.Passmore asked if the directors were pot equally responsible.The chairman said in the first prospectus the names of the directors were given, butin the Imperial Bank prospectus the uames of tbe Canadian directors wete left out.A bondholder said a scatement in the prospectus was that the revenue was increasing by leaps and bounds, and that the line would not only pay its expensas but earn a dividend.The chairman said, unfortunately, that wag a mera statement in the prespectus, and it was one cf those unfulfilled promises.The line only had two locowmo- tives, and it must have been a great strain on them to earn £50 a mile, (Laughter.) If they went into legal proceedings it would be very interesting to find out where their money went to.The point had been tbrown out to him in a very significant way that the bondholders wanted to know how much went out to Canada, and how much remained hera, (Hear, hear.) After some further discussion, The chairman moved:\u2014* That this meeting is of opinion that the committee should take such general and legal action as they may think expedient in the interests of the whale body of bondholders, aud that for this object their hands should not be fettered by any special in- structiors.\u201d Mr.Somuel Green seconded the motion, which was carried.The Chairman then moved :\u2014* That the holders of bonds in the Caraquet Railway Company do forthwith deposit their bond with the English Association of American Bond and Share Holders, limited, against tue certificates vf the committee.\u201d Mr.Samuel Green seconded the motion, which was carried.The Cbairman next moved :\u2014\u201c That the contribution of £1 1¢s rar bond towards the expenses be levied upon all bonds.\u201d ° Mr.Samuel Green seconded the motion, wbich was carried.A vote of thanks to the chairman then brought the proceedings to à cloge.\u2014 \u2014-\u2014-\u2014\u2014 pe Pitcher\u2019s Castoria.| Smoke Hazd-Made Qigar, Nectar, 5 Cents.APRIL 10 PROTECTIONISTS WARNED.Farming Never Before So Unprofitable.(Huntingdon Gleaner.) To the farmer, an incomprehensible feature in the debate now going on at Ottawa on the budget, is the positive affirmation, by those who sit bn the government side of the house, that the country is highly prosperous.Mr Foster started by declaring that the year has been \u201ca fairly satisfactory one,\u201d that the condition of the farmers \u201cis one of fair prosperity,\u201d and he was followed in the same strain by orator after orator.The representations made to the contrary, by the members of the opposition, were held op to scorn as mere bugaboo, a preaching of the blue ruin; the talk of unpatriotic men, who secretly yearn for annexation.We have no ulterior object in view; we do not want to make farmers discontent ed in order to induce them to agitate for commercial union.We simply look to the facts, and it is undeniable that farming was never as unprofitable in Canada as it is the present time.Not a single article the farmer produces commands a fair price, and, what is worse, there is a ready market for none.For what he has to sell he has to seek out a purchaser.The result is, that there is stagnation in the rural districts, a decline in the value of farm lands, and an increased disposition among the young men to leave the hemestead.The farmer reads of the mechanics and laborers in the cities striking for higher wsges aud 9 hours to Le counted a day\u2019s work, while he is struzgling as he never did before to make ends meet.He feels that there is an inequality between his lot and that of others; à discrimination made by the government to his injury.The farmer would not complain of the falling-off in the prices of what he has to sell, if there was a corresponding reduction mn what he bas to buy.What tells against him, is his selling what he produces in free competition with the whole world, while the government prevents him buying where he sees fit, and forces him to take the goods of certain manufacturers protected by duties ranging from 20 to 35 per cent.If the freedom of tbe Canadian farmer waa not restricted in the matter of buying, if he was allowed to purchase wberever he deemed he could do best, he would certainly be in a better position than he is.Here we have an explanation of the singular course pursued by those of our politicians who are in league with the manufacturers.At a time when they are advocating to still further raise the tariff, it would not do to admit that the farmer is laboring under depressed circumstances, and 80 they resort to the fiction that he \u201cis fairly prosperous\u201d and proceed to lay 5 cents here and 10 cents there more on each dollars worth of what the farmer buys.As a matter of policy, we believe the manufacturers are making a mistake in seeking to iucra:83 the tariff at the present time.They may be pleased to regard the farmer as a patient beast of burden, who can be induced te carry a heavy load by holding befora his nose such straws as duties on American pork and beans, but they will be undeceived at the next election.A continuance of the old duties might have been allowed to pass, but to increase them at such a time as the present, is to arouse a feeling of resentment that may end in the toppling over of the so-called nation al policy.The greed of the manufacturers has over-reached itself, PATTI'S BOARD BILL.Adelina Patti pays her bills for lodging and board out of her own pocket.It cost her nearly $200 a day to live at the Hoffman House.In one month in Chicago she paid $1,000 for board and lodgings.It will cost her more to live in New York this

the establishment of temperance coffee houses on the wharves was held in the Mechanics\u2019 Institute yesterday afternoon.Rev.J.A.Newnham, who has been the prime mover, occupied the chair.Among thoee present were Mesdames Radford, Wheeler, Ohling, Cush- ing, Doran and Murray; Rev.Robi.Lindsay, Rev.Mr.Smith ; Messrs.E.L.Bond, Richard Whita, Geo.Hague, R.Reford, Saml Carsley, J.McLennan, Geo.H.Stevens, W.Paul, J.H.Carson, A.M.Featherstone, John Burns, James Dick, John Craig, J.Baiilie, J.Ritchie Bell, \u2014 Ramsay and others.The Chairman said that they had met for the purpose of fiading out what could be done in the way of promoting temperance coffe houses or lodzings on or near the wharves fur the laborers engaged in the shipping interests.It was beyond a doubt that something in that line was much needed.Mr.Naw1- ham next informed the meeting what steps bad been taken so far.Ths Cafe Company had been requested to take the matter in hand, but their answer was that they would need another $1,000 worth of stock taken up, and aiso desired to be protected agaiust any loss.Tne shipping interests all acquiescad in tie work, but there was a littie difference of opinion as to whether they should only give meals, or lodgings and have recreation rooms.All agreed, however, that it was a good work, and should be started immediately.Itinvolved an outlay, and whether that should ba by subscription or stock could be decided later on.It should be made to pay if ran on business principles.He thought $1,000 was ample to furnish it out.Mr.McLennan said that it would b2 a great convenience if the laborers could get their meals or lunch daring the day near their work.Such an undertaking would have the advantage of the keeping the menout of temptation.The Beaver Line would be glad to see it started aud would suppor it if the men got a substaatial meal.\u2018Mr.R.Whita informed the meeting that be had had a conversation with the Deputy Minister of Marine and Fisheries with a view of securing the premises occupied by the Harbor police.The Government intended using them for stores, He thought, however, if a resolution was adopted requestieg Sir Donald Smith to use his influence with the Government it niight be got on easy terms.He balieved in having the meals first and the question of lodgings could be dealt with at a later period.Mr.R.Reford stated that his firm employed a good mauy men during the summer months.+ The married men generally had their mid-day meal carried to them by their wives, lt was the custom of the steamship lines to supply their men with meals when working late at night.The company he represented would support the movement and build a shed where the meals could be distributed to the men.In answer to Mr.White, Mr.Baillie said that they had usaally about 150 men working at night.Mr.Carsley was of opinion that many of these places had failed for lack of value given, and said that the tea or coffee should be sold by the pint and bread by the pound.They should have weights and measures on hand so that the people would gee they were receiving fall value.\" Mrs.Radford, of the W.C.T.U, was in favor of purveying for others as well as the laborers.A Mr, Skelly, who has had some experience in temperance and non-temper- ance houses in the old country, said that when be gave up the liquor busines he did very little business.By-and-bye, as his reputation spread, he took in as much as £100 on a Saturday night.He considered that a good, substantial meal could be supplied for 15 cents.The chairman at this point read a lst- ter from Mr.John Torrance, of the Dominion Line, who recommended the starting of such places where meals could be served, and suggested having a recreation room, and promised his support to the scheme.Mr.Stevens, of the Hope, said that he was an anxious a8 any one of them to eee the project carried out.He was going to speak from practical experience, and would say that the lodging portion of the scheme would not pay.IIe had spent some $5,000 on such an establishment at the corner of St.Paul and Barrack streets.They supplied the men of the Beaver line at nights for two years.They had a good dea! to contend with in the men who wanted to get whiskey 1n- stead of coffee.There were at the time nineteen saloons in the locality, and when one cf them offsrel to supply the suppers for 15 cents the men went there.The late Captain Bowden did all he could to keep the men away from the saloons.Mr.Stevens threw out the idea of having three sheds from 60 to 70 feet long and located near the Allaus\u2019, Bsaver and Reford sheds.If the shipping companies would stick firm to their purpose and make the man go to these, good would be accomplished.It would be to the advantage of employer and employee if the latter could ba pravailed upon to abstain from whiskey.Mr.Reford corroborated what Mr.Stevens bad said regarding liquor.He thought the companies might be able to counteract the influence of the stevedores on the matter.Mr.White moved, seconded by Mr.Featherstone, \u201cThat in the opinion of this meeting it is desirable to arrange for the providing of meals on temparance principles for the people employed about the shipping on the wharves.\u201d This was carried.Mr.Featherstone then moved, seconded by Mr, White, \u201cThat a committee, consisting of the Rev.Mr, Newnham, Messrs.McLennan and Reford, be ape pointed to wait upon Sir D.A.Smith, M.P., and Mr.J.J.Curran, M.P,, in regard to securing the harbor police office for this purpose.\u201d Carried.The following committee waa appointed to make full enquiries for the carrying out of the scheme : Rev.Mr.Newnham (chairman), Messrs, E.L.Bond, D.W.Ross, A.M.Featherstons, Jas.Baillie, J.H, Carson, Mrs.Radford, Mrs.Cushing and Mrs.Wheeler.This committee will mest in the Dominion Alliance office on Monday after- nocn at four o\u2019clock.The meeting then adjourned.= Tz

two inches above summer level.There is a wide clear space in the middle of the river, but the ice still holds fast along the shore.Raports from points down the river indicate that the ice still holds fast but is in a bad condition.Last night\u2019s rain storm will probably have the effect of starting the ice at a number of points.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Smoke Hand-Made Cigar, Nectar,

SIMPLE FIRE ESCAPE.Suecessful Exhibitions Yesterday.Several hundred people witnessed the trial of the novel fire escape of Mr.Val Klase, at the New York building yesterday afternoon.Twenty-seven descents were made in forty-five minutes from the eight story.The appliance is simplicity itself, consisting of a common hemp rope fixed to the top of the building, the lower end being held about thirty feet out on the road.Then thers is a sliding string or cradle or web which firmly encircles the arms of the rescued person, who is able to regulate the rate of descent at will.The rope is colled twice through a small running frams of iron, which is fixed in front of the body.Mr.Klase offered $500 to any one who sustained as much as a scratch in making the aerial drop, and his invitation to descend by the appliance was accepted by severalin the crowd.If permission be obtained, Mr.Klase will arrange for a series of descents from one of the towers of the Notre Dame church

NEWS.The N, A.L.A.Convention at Ottawa.PROPOSED CONFEDERATION OF THE LACROSSE CLUBA, \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 Annual Meeting of the Montreal Curling Club.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Lacrosse.THE N.A.L.A.CONVENTION.The annual convention of the National Amateur Lacrosse Association will be held in Ottawa tc-morrow.The dels- gates selected by the several clubs whea asked as to what special business will come up before them, one and all replied that it would be simply of a busi- ness-like character and not sensational.These views, however, are not entertained by parties well up in lacrosse circles, and one of them yesterday afrer- noon, in reply to the query, \u201cWill it be a quiet session ?\u201d remarked, with a knowing wink, \u201cI do not think so.\u201d \u201cWhat do you expect will prove ths bone of contention ?\u201d was asked of him.\u201cWell, I cannot exactly say, but from what I hear the professional status will prove a hard nut to crack.You see, there are several men applying for reinstatement who bave undoubtedly received money for playing lacrosse, and if these men are once more admitted to the amateur ranks then lacrosse will sink into the same quagmire from which it was rescued last season.I consider it would be a retrograde movement and it would cause irreparable damage to the national game.It must be an amateur game or nothing,\u201d he exclaimed in decisive tones as he bade his interviewer good-bye.Another player spoken to said that he heard the association were going to try and do away with the senior series, as played last season, but what the Convention had to do with the mattar he for one could not see.)t was purely a friendly arrangement between the senior clubs, and outside of the Association altogether.\u2018What do you think of the applications for reinstatement ?I earnestly frust the Convention will decide in no uncertain manner against the reinstatement of any player on wh the slightest taint of professionali res\u2018s The game last season received a great impetus, and it certainly would not tend to its advancement if these men were readmitted.So far as could be gleaned, this question of reinstating will form the chief subject for discussion at the coming convention, but it would be well for the delegates to consider whilst in session the sage remarks put forth by an ex- president of the Montreal Lacrosse Club at its annual meeting a few days ago, in which he advocated the advisability of having four associations, viz., Manitoba, Western Canada (from Kingston and Pembroke west), Eastern Canada (from Kingston and Pembroke east inclusive), and the Maritime Provinces, each association to have its local officers, with a central council to decide on the rules of the game, the rules of matches to be decided by the local officials.In fact it would be run on the same basis as the political governments are run to day, the council of the whole to act in the same capacity ag the Dominion Parliament is to the Provincial Goverament, viz, a central point for all local disputes concerning the rules of the game.The plan is a feasible one and sooner or later will have to be adopted and the convention cannot do better than take the \u201cbull by the horns\u201d and settle the question once for all.One tbing is certain, that owing to the popularity of the game and the great growth of clubs in each district, one association would be too unwieldy.The sooner the decision is arrived at the better, then, no matter in what section of Canada the game is played, the same rule as to how the matches are to be regulated will be of a uniform character.It would be in keeping for a Montreal delegate to move a motion to that effect and, judging from the opinions expressed by members of the various clubs, it would meet with general approbation at the hands of the delegates.THE SENIOR SHAMROCK CLUB ELECT DELEGATES FOR THE N.A.Le À.At the usual monthly meeting of the Senior Shamrock Lacrosse Club the fol

appreciation of the different artists in the company, filled the Academy of Music last night.The lay has evidently lost none of its popu- arity, and for the remainder of the week can be counted upon to draw crowded houses, UNCLE TOM\u2019S CABIN.The two performances at the Royal yesterday of the above well-known drama were largely attended, and the audiences were thoroughly pleased with the treat afforded them.The scenic effects are particularly good, and the management are to be congratulated on the hit they have made in presenting the piece.THE ABBOTT OPERA SALE.The Abbott opera sale will begin this morning at Nordheimer\u2019s, Diagrams will be open for all performances, six nights and two matinees.Prices are\u2014 Evening, $1.50 downward, accordiag to location.Matinees, $1

owing to the fact that the matinee 13 an extra performance.This is the first time this season Miss Abbott has consented ts sing eight timesin a Single week.She will be supported in every perfor marca by the strongest cast of the company, grand chorus and orchestra under Carl Martens.The operas are elegantly staged and sung.In Toronto, where Miss Abbott is filling the week, the theatre is packed at every performance thus far, and seats are sold for the week.The audiences are surprisingly enthusiastic and the city press speaks in the highest terms of the compaay.PAUL'S RETURN.The Dramatic Club of the M.A.AA.gave a \u201cDress Rehearsal\u201d last night in the Gymnasium Hall of Watts Phillippe\u2019 comedy, \u201cPaul\u2019s Return,\u201d which is to be publicly presented on Friday evening.There was a large and appreciative attendance of the friends of the Association, and considering that it was only a rebearsal, it passed off very successfully and without any of those tedious delays between acts so frequently noticeable in amateur performances.l'his, however, may be accounted for, in part, by the fact that the one scene suffices for the three acts.The cast is a good one and possesses all the ability required to give a thoroughly capital interpretation of the difficult play they have undertaken.However, judging from last night's rehearsal there is, in the cases of several members of the company, room for improvement.With one or two exceptions there was a marked tendency on the pari of the memuers to rush through their lines with almost unpardonable disregard for the particular forcible features of the dialogue, and con- giderable improvement in this respect might be good naturedly recommended.Again, a few members were prone to become a little stagy, but this defect can epsily be overcome with anotber rehearsal or two.Paul is not as forcibie at times as he might be, and yet, at the close of the last act, demonstrates that he is possessed of considerable dramatic power and energy.The interpreter of the part of Richard Goldsworthy, while well up in his lines, would also make a better hit if he could throw a little more feeling into both his declamation and gesticulation, and Blanche could, with considerable success, make herself feel more at home in the part which suits her so well.Of those taking the characters of Max Von Stein, Howard Flyntskin, and Beatrice, there is nothing to be said but in praise, and the last mentioned was rewarded for her capital portrayal with a bouquet by ap- preclative friends.On the whole, as an amateur performance and a rebearsal, it was very creditable to the dramatic section of the association, and all those who will have the opportunity of seeing if on Friday night can exract a most enjoyable evening\u2019s amusement, » CALEDONIA SOCIETY SOCIAL.The last of a series of enjoyable socials under the auspices of the Caledonia Society, will be held ts-morrow evening in St.Andrew\u2019s Home, During the winter months many have taken advantage of these to become the better acquainted with each other.Apart from this pleasure the musical and literary portions of the evenings have been of a high standard, ang there is no society in Montreal \u2014and probably in the Dominion\u2014that is doing more to foster a brotherly love than the Caledonian Society of Montreal.Their socials have been successfal, and it goes without saying that the closing one will be on an equal footing with its predecessors.BLIND ASYLUM CONCERT.The concert given last evening in aid of the Nazareth Asylum for the Blind, at the Queen\u2019s Hall, was a decided success, both musically and financially, the elite of the French Canadian society being present in large numbers.An excellent programme was prepared for the occasion.Miss Eugenie Tessier, as usual, charmed her audience and Miss Therese Boucher, who rendered Dancle\u2019s No.4 Symphony, especially arranged for the violin, deserved great credit.Miss Boucher is a young lady with great taste for music and has a bright future before her.Two blind pupils of the Nazareth Institution, Miss A.Wilscom and Mr.H.Prefontaine, were very successful in their piano duet.A picolo solo rendered by Mr.Baker was well appreciated.The choir of the insti tution contributed some very good choruses, which were loudly applauded.The second part of the programme was equally enjoyable, Mr.Paul Wrallard being greatly appreciated ia his recitation of the French humoristic piece * Les Chateaux en Espagne.\u201d The evening's entertainment was brought to a close by a selection given by the brass band of the Nazareth Institution.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Smcke Hand-Made Cigar, Nectar, 6 Cents + LOST WIKE AND MONET.A Lumberman\u2019s Misfortune Causes Him to Seek
