The mob attacked the building with stones and endeavored to set fire to it, The military was summ ed and charged upon the rioters, wounding many \u2018 of them, some seriously.MIDNIGHT, The disturbances continue, and the troops and police are overtaxed in their efforts to prevent bloodshed and the destruction of property.LATER, A mob of 2,000 invaded the Carlist Club rooms, set fire to the furniture, and endeavored to obstruct the work of the firemen.The crowd then smashed and burned a carriage standing in the court yard.Another mob attempted to burn a church.The troops prevented them trom firing the building, but were unable to disperse the crowd, which constantly increased in numbers.Finally the mob raised two barricades in the streets and took positions behind them.The military authorities have taken command of tbe city and the whole garrison 18 under Arms.\u2014__ PLUCK AND SEAMANSHIP.Testimonial to the Cnlliope\u2019s Crew.LoxpoN, April 10.\u2014A public testimonial to the officers and crew of the British war steamer Calliope is in course of preparation, and its presentation will be made the occasion of festivity both on board and ashore.The testimonial is in recognition of the heroic conduct of tte ship\u2019s company in saving the vessel by putting to sea in the teeth of the hurricane at Samos, which wrecked the German and American war vessels.The Calliope is now at Portsmouth and is visited by hundreds of curiosity-seekers daily.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 A DUBLIN STFAMER SUNK.Terrible Suffering of the Passengers.Loxpox, April 10th.\u2014The steamer \u201c North Cambria,\u201d from Baltimore for Hamburg, arrived at Dover this morning, leaking, with her bows stove and Ler fore compartment full of water.She was in collision at midnight with tte passenger steamer * Avoca,\u201d bound from London for Dublin.The \u201c Avoca\u201d was so badly damaged that she sank, No lives were lost.The passengers of the * Avoca,\u201d who were landed at Dover, relate a tale of terrible suffering.Many of them were absolutely naked and exposed to the bitter cold in open boats until they were chilled to their bones.A few of them were fortunate enough to procure blankets in which t> wrap themselves, but even these coverings afforded but slight protection from the biting winds.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u201cTHE UNKINDEST CUT OF ALL.\u201d Irish Landlords Repudiate Salfour\u2019s Bill.Dupin, April 10.\u2014The committee of the land owners convention having under consideration the Government's Irish lard purchase bill, passed a resolution to-day that the measure in its present form is most injurious to the interests of land owners, will fail to give the full measure of its advantages to ths best class of tenants, and, therefore, requires amending.\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE VIENNA RIOTS.Anticipation of Their Renewal.LonpoN, April 10.\u2014The utter inability of the Vienna police to cope with the rioters has called forth a general howl of indignation from the respectable classes, whose helpless situation against the fury of the mob is thus revealed.Count Von Taafe, the president of the ministerial council and minister of the interior, also comes in for a liberal share of public execration and censure for not calling out the military and promptly suppressing the disorder.This neglect is made the most conspicuous by the fact that there are 40,000 troops in the city whose services would have been made available within half an hour, The disturbance has now subsided, but there are grave fears of the renewal of the roitingon May 1, when a general holiday among the workingmen will be observed and meetings will be held to agitate the question of short hours and more pay.\u2014\u2014\u2014e FROM THE ANCIENT

10.\u2014TIt is announced by the Tribune, a governmeat organ, this evening, that Attorney-Gene- ral Martin has withdrawn his resignation and will remain in the Cabinet, adding that it may be that it 18 only for the time being.Being pressed for his reason for continuing in his old position, Martin says his friends were almost unanimous in condemning him for leaving the Cabinet at a critical time, when so much important legislation had been passed and which he bad done so much to create.It was represented to him that his action was unpatriotic and unfair to the Government.He recognizes the force of the position ; he saw that it was probably bis duty to stand by his colleagues and assist in the fight which he has been to a large extent responsible for creating, and so he decided to reconsider his resignation and continue in the cabinet.The Board of Trade of Regina have memorialized the Dominion Government to abolish the canteen in conneec- tion with the mounted police there, as it seriously interferes with the legitimate business of merchants.The memorial also asks for a change in the commis- sionership of police.The wife of Robert Hutchings, fireman of Ogilvies Milling Co., who has lately been of unsound mind, disappaared on Tuesday night just after visiting & friend and has not yet been found.Smith, the defaulter from New York who swindled the Corbin Banking Co.out of

atien of Jas.McLeod.charged with mar- dering his wife, began at Westville today.Catherine Sutherland, a sister of the deceased, was on the stand all day and gave rather damaging testimony regarding the ill-treatment of Mrs.Mec- Leod by her husband, and showing, to some extent, his connection with the tea which caused her illness.The steamer Siberian, from Glasgow, vassed four large icebergs on the passage, one of them a monster estimated to be a wile in length.The steamer Amalfi, from Hamburg for New York, experieac- ed severe westerly gales, but received no damage.The community was shocked to-day by the unexpected death of the wife of Capt.A, T.C.Boilean, of the Royal Artillery., She was only married last summer, and was a favorite society belle, being a daughter of Col.Stewart.She died while under chloroform, administered to enable an operaiion to be performed.She leaves a ten day old son.A despatch says that packed ice, about fifteen miles wide, lies 1n the vicinity of the Magdalen Islands, and that the ice in the vicinity of Meat Cove and Cape Ray is closely vacked.* Fifteen schooners have cleared for the seal fisheries.Seals, however, are reported scarce.To-day the necessary papers wera pra- pared to libel the steamer Southgate, towed in by the Coventry yesterday, for $20,000, but the writ has not yet been applied for, pending instructions from the owners.Some miscreants

loan the city nine hundred thousand dollars at six per cent.pending the collection of taxes.The aldermen consider this rate of ia- terest excessive and will endeavor to get the money from the bank for a smaller rate of interest.Prof.J.Louden, of Toronto University, read a paper on an international standard of musical pitch at the Toronto College of Music here this evening, and urged the holding of a congress in Toronto to select a standard of pitch for this continent.There is no change in the builders\u2019 strike ; masters and men are equally confident of victory.The men complain that the secretary of the Federation Builders Association who advertised in a Dundee, Scotland, paper for three hundred stone cutters and wrote there about the state of trade in Toronto misrepresented matters.The builders deny that they made any misrepresentation in their endeavors toinduee men to coms out here to work at the trade.St.Anne\u2019s Church was very prettily decorated this afternoon in

ALL DO IT.\u201d Bykert\u2019s Offence Nothing Out of the Way Orrawa, April 10.\u2014The Committees on Privileges and Elections met again this morning to consider the connection of Mr.Rykert with the Cypress Hill timber limit deal.Hon.Wm.McDougall, in commencing his argument on behalf of Mr.Rykert, said he would limit himseif to the precise points involved and would avoid all irrelevant matter.The authorities which he would quote would justify the dismissal of the case.In the first place he asked what offence had been committed against the laws of parliament.The order of reference gave no statement of the offence.It was not alleged that Mr.Rykert had published any letters reflecting on the honor or dignity of the House of Commons.Why then did the House take cognizance of the letters?In an action for libel it is not the writer, but the publisher of the libellous matter, who is attacked.The letters in question were not published by Mr.Rykert or by his authority.Asa matter of fact, it was Sir Richard Cartwright and the Globe newspaper who were Tesponsible for the evil consequences of their publication.There was, therefore, no constitutional or legal authority to enquire into the case or to pronounce judgment on Mr.Rykert.In the second place, he maintained the House had NO POWER TO EXPEL A MEMBER.The Parliament of Canada was a new creation, which had only the power ex- ressly conferred upon it by statute.hat clause was there in the British North American act conferring the power to expel a member?He could not find any.It may be said that the power to expsl a member for adequate cause was inherent in every legislative body.But the private letters of a member could not be considered adequate cause.He quoted from Bir Erskine May to the effect that the power of expulsion confers no disability to be again elected, and that all the cases of expulsion in England were excesses of jurisdiction, because the House could not create a disability unknown to the laws.He contended that even if the power to expel were admitted.yet there was no evidence in this case which could autborize expulsion.But the powers of English and Canadian parliaments were essentially different.Those of the English House were the growth of centuries.The Canadian Government was a legal creation.The amending act of 1875 provided that the privileges and POWERS OF THE COMMONS AND SENATE should be such as from time to time were defined by the Parliament of Canada, but not to be in excess of those of the English Parliament.The Canadian Parliament since 1875 passed no law to expel a mem- ber or define the powers and privileges of the House of Commons, The revised SUBSCRIPTION $6.00 PER ANNUM statutes of 1887 contained no definition of the powers or privileges of parliament.They were simply a revision of those of 1869.The act to define the powers and privileges of parliament was yet to be passed, But even admitting the power to expel, he held that a grave offence must be charged and proved befure the seat can be attacked.In the Sadler case Lord Palmerston and the Attorney-General for Ireland agreed in declaring that there must be conviction or confession before expulsion.There is no pretence that Mr.Rykert committed a grave offence or crime.By taking cognizance of private correspondence, Parliament is usurping powers which do not belong to it.In the third place he submitted that THE WHOLE ENQUIRY WAS ULTRA VIRES of parliament.The alleged offence was committed before Mr.Rykeri was a member of the Parliament or even before it was born.The case of Walker in England and those of Christie and Mackenzie were very instructive.They simply gained popularity from their expulsion.Expulsion in this case would SEND THE VICTIM BACK WITH A MAJORITY, not of 500 bat of very many more.Mr.McDougall, therefore, submitted that ths committee had no ground for attacking or affecting the seat of the member for Lincoln, according to English practica or procedure.There was no evidence t> support the charges.No improper infla- ence had been used ; no favor exercised, and there was no violation of the law There was only one course to follow, namely, to dismiss the case.Sir John Thompson suggested an adjournment to an early date in order to deliberate upon the matter involved.There was time left to-day, but he had come to no conclusion himself, and thought it better to adjourn to consider the whole case as well as the position taken by Mr.McDougall.The committee then adjourned until Wednesday next.FROM THE DOMINION

and the prospects would appear to be that an exceptionally large body of water will come down this spring.One of Mr.Eddy\u2019s foreman, who bas had a long experience on the river, said yesterday that he never saw the river so high at this period of the year, or so much water come down in such a short space of time.He thinks that the rise will be very hizk.A foreman just down from the Pettawawa says that the lakes and creeks are nearly all opened up.That there is a lot of snow in the woods, and he expects a big amount of water to come down.The drives will commence generally about the 25th, although some firms will begin before that date.Ratles\u2019 big boat house, which is one of the most familiar river marks at the Capital, took a sail down the stream last night.The Government has

upon the Government to-day to see what it intends doing for the reef of the sufferers by the landslide there last fall, This morning an impromptu meeting of some of Mr.Mackintosh\u2019s supporters was held.Amongst those present were Ex-Ald.Cox, Messrs.8.8.Stewart, E.L.Perkins, R.C.W.MacCuaig and several others.It was resolved that as time was so Short, and it would be impos- gible to elect Conservative vice-presi- dents for Victoria and Wellington wards in the room of Messrs.Magge and Booth and also hold ward meetings, that Mr.Mackintosh should come out for election without any convention being held.It was also resolved that meetings in his interest should be held in Upper Town on Monday and in Lower Town on Tuesday next.The Ottawa sharpshooters, who participated in the battle of Cut Knife Hill, in 1885, will celebrate the anniversary of the battle by a banquet on the 2nd of May.A fatal accident occurred in the C.P.R.yard at Chalk River yesterday by which a man named Charles Labrecque lost his lite.Labrecque was engaged as fireman on the yard engine was coupling the \u201ctender\u201d to the locomotive when he was caught between tbe bumpers and crushed so severely that he died anhour afterwards.The unfortunate man leaves a wife and child to mourn his loss.-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 TO FIND BRAINS FOR COLLEGIANS.Wholesale Terms Offered 10 the Class, New

Animals Brought Down 10 Figures.WASHINGTON, April 10,\u2014The condition of winter wheat on the first of April as reported bygtbe statisticians of the Department of Agriculture, averages 81 for the entire breath.The general average for rye is 92.8.Seeding was late in the States of the central valleys because of drought, and the soil was therefore not in the best condition, but the mild winter continued growth until tye plants were too luxuriant to withstand the usual vicissitudes of March.Recent frosts have cut down the growing plants quite generally, and in wet or submerged areas the roots have been destroyed.There are reports of recuperation by sprouting and remewed growth in this region.Where the roofs are intact, great improvements will follow with good weather.The fact that the rocks are so well developed is favorable to improvement.In the South the soil was generally in better condition, and the early sown developed rapidly, and in December and January suffered more or less from attacks of the Hessian fly.In March frcsts were very general, discoloring and sometimes killing the plants down to the ground, but not injuring the roots, except in wet places.The crop looks brown in New York, but the State agent believes it better than it looks, and the other Middle States return wheat in good condition, The Pacific coast has had an extraordinary amount of rain and snow, which have deiayed seeding and injured the early sown areas.The averages of condition of the principal States are as fnl- lows : New York, 88 ; Pennsylvania, 99; Ohio, 87; Michigan, 67; Indiana, 75; Illinois, 75 ; Missouri, 83 ; Kansas, 87 ; California, 71.The report of condition of farm animals makes the averages as follows : Horses, 94.7; cattle, 941; sheep, 93.7; swine, 95.5.The percentages of losses of farm animals by disease, winter exposure or otherwise as estimated averages, 124 for horses; 34 for sbeep and 76 for swine.The losses from winter exposure of cattle have baen very Leavy in the Northern Rocky Mountain belt and on the Pacific Coast.While it is difficult to get information from the ranches, it is certain that Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California have lost heavily in both herds and flocks by the severe storms and deep snows of a winter which has been one of remarkable mildoess east of the mountains.The report indicates the loss by exposure throughout the country of more than a million cattle and still larger loss of sheep._\u2014\u2014\u2014 BERLIN, April 10.\u2014A disastrous fire occurred at Mublheim, Germany, to-day, destroying fully one half

his friends had done it before, and he knew a sure way of beating the Exclusion Act.Finally, when pressed very hard regarding his plan, the Chinaman stated that he would not take all his money to China with him.He _would buy his ticket through a certain Chinese firm, and a small portion of his money he would allow to remain with the irm\u2014purchasing an interest in the business untilhe came ck from the country.Then by Chinese and white evidence he would be able to prove that he was a merchant.He further intimated that as soon as he returned he would sell bis interest in the mercantile house i on the fruit Ps resume his work m DErdock Blood Bitters is a medicine m ade from roots, barks and herbs, and e best known remedy for dyspepsia, constipation and biliousness, and will cure all blood diseases from a common Pimple to the worst scrofulous sore, POST-OHHCE TIME Tans rom seat ME TABLE DecrvEky, MAILS.© .re ss Pda NE, AM.| P.K.|Dntario & West.Pron I and States, | 8.30 5:18 (a) Ontarioand West Biates b 2.00| 10.00|Ontario RA ee 14 1145) States by C.P.R.8.80 16.8 ottawa byRw | 9.00! 8.15/C.P R.N'th or Ottawa 0.15 Pembroxe\u2026 .15.JC.P.R.N°th of Otepwal to Pemhroke, Port Arthar, Manitoba, N West Territories a 9.16 : seven $1210) Ale andra © | TE oa rman a olen ob: 1 gizxvilioby Atlantic | way.a.8.30 Hudson, Oka, Como, so 33 Rigaud, Carilion 2 Fortune LE Quebee, and Eastern 78 sensi |Borel,\u201d Berinier and Batiscan B ;

mercantile insurance as a preventive of business demoralization and bad debts.The main argument of the papsr was that in regard to mercantile affairs there ought to be a system of insurance such as obtained for life and fire losses.A mercantile insurance company guaranteeing bad debts would at the outset require from applications such iaformation as would warrant the transaction.These informations would be a combination of such as are furnished to the different insurance companies and the mercantile agencies.No doubt the scheme, though an innovation, is one that would ultimately come to the front.Miss Simpson, daughter of Robert Simpson, retail dry goods merchant here, was married to-day to W.Hamilton Merritt, a mining engineer.The wedding was one of the most fashionable of

protege with promises so specious that the realization of them would mean nothing short of a perfect Utopia for all; men who have been en- aowed with the gift ot such silver- tongued eloquence that they can play upon all the finer feelings of the natures they are endeavoring to beguile ; men who by this great gift, so noble when rightly and justly applied, but so debased when used only for the sordid purpose of party,or personal interest, mould, as does the potter his clay, the wills of those they promise to work in the interests of.We are told by these politicians and their abettors that under the glorious dispensation under which we now exist we are free from all those direct taxations that other and less favored lands groan beneath.When, therefore, some one raises their voice and states what is only too true, viz, that although we do not pay direct taxes on our incomes, we pay through every pore in our skin for the daily necessities of life, and that it is on the small wage-earner that this burden becomes the heaviest, they say that this class does not require as necessities those goods which are imported, and nearly doubled in price by the high tariff, but, on the contrary, that the poor man can live on the productions of this country.This sounds very specious, and to the unthinking or easily convinced appsars an incontrovertible argument.I would, however, humbly suggest that this argument is mere humbug.I would ask these gentlemen who by their eloquence endeavor to and In so many instances do convince their hearers or readers: How many productions of this country are not produced considerably cheaper in England ?and the incontestible proof of this lies in the fact that these very producing sources, to which the aforesaid eloquent politician would refer the poor grumbler, at the bigh price of living, require boistering up to the tune of even as much as 35 per cent.I dealt with the wage-earning power of the great majority in my previous letter, and have since seen no reason to alter the opinion then expressed.The whole matter, therefore, resolves itself into this : You, the masses of the people, with whom the power lies, by your vote to return to place men, by whose actions you will either gain or lose, look well to it when you are shortly asked to give that vote, that you only give it to such men, who, by their past record, and known honesty of purpose, you may feel assured will work well and heartily in your interest, which interest can never be conserved by increasing the cost of your living, and bolstering up, at your expense, some pettifogging little industries, which, if they were sound or of use to you, the people should only require such moderate protection as would not amount to a crying injustice to thousands.There are heaps of things that may be taxed, and beneficially so ; things that are not necessities of daily life, let them be taxed, but I do most strongly advocate the lessening of the heavy imposition on articles that are necessities, and in daily and hourly consumption.In thus again intruding on your valuable space, sir, I do 80 in the hope that my few homely remarks may stir my fellow men up to the stern necessity which has now arisen, viz: of making the cost of living a little more in conformity with the earning power of the masses.\u201cONE OP THE PEOPLE.\u201d

the Liberal party is as strong as ever in its determination to move for the freedom of trade, and it is difficult to believe that the people of the west cherish such resentment for some possible mistake, possibly committed in bygone years with imperfect knowledge of the country, as to induces them to support that which is contrary to their own material interest and the development of the province.In this matter of fact age communities do not bite off their ncses to spite their respective faces.THEY GO, BUT WHY?In correcting the figures which have been given as those of Canadians in the Western States, Mr.Ross, of Lisgar, said there were only 97,973 Canadians in Iowa, Minnesota and Dakota, while the population of Manitoba amounted to 90,612.In Dakota, he said, there were only 33,413, or about a third of the population of Manitoba.Let us be thankfal that the proportion is not larger.Most people, however, will think it a strange review of figures on which to congratulate the House of Commons.Seven thousand more Canadians in three Westarn States than the whole population of Manitoba ; one third as many in the single state of Minnesota And in the face of these figures care- folly compiled by a supporter of the Ministry the country is told by Sir John\u2019s friends that there has been no exodus from Canada.The people will now, on Mr.Roes\u2019 authority, know how far the Government statements are worthy of credence.When the Liberal press has complained of the administration of Manitoba affairs as driving set- ,$lers out of the province their assertions have been denied and stigmatized as \u201c Gritism,\u201d but here we have one of the Government's best informed defenders telling the House vf Commons that from 1881 to 1884, no less than 4,767 people left the province of Manitoba for the neighbouring States ; 1,380 in one year.How Was it that nearly 5,000 Canadians who had left their old homes to settle in the \u2018Western province of their own country, declined to remain there, and went off to the United States ?It could not be because they wera disappointed with the country ite golf; Mr.Ross would not admit that, and in point of fact the opinion is general that Manitoba is in all natural ways superior to the States on its borders.If not the country itselfthat created discontent, it must have been the rulers of that country.Perhaps some journalistic friend of Sir John will essay the task of explaining this exodus of gettlers from Manitoba and the presence of 97,973 Canadians in three westarn States alone.A LESSON TO BE LEARNED.Mr.Foster has invented a new crime.It is criminal, he holds, to say that the Government of Canada has legislated in a spirit of retaliation against the United States.It is only partially satisfactory to find that the member for Kings, N.B,, is not only the financial, but the judicial oracle of the Ministry.Bus there is some merit in the invention, because if accepted as a guiding principle of Canadian criminal law it must clothe Mr.Foster and his colleagues in striped jackets.The merit of course consists in the spirit of self-sacrifica which it reveals.We do not mean that the thing which would land our Ministers in a penitentiary is ipse facto meritorious.We have never believed that they all deserve such retribution as that.The danger which Mr.Foster so cheerfully defies arises from the fact that he is a supporter of a fiscal policy which is avowedly one of retaliation against the United States.\u201cWe will have reciprocity of trade,\u201d said Sir John, \u201cor we will have reciprocity of tariffs.\u201d The N.P.was preached by Sir John and his friends as a measure of retaliation for the abrogation of the Rect- procity Treaty, and no allusion is ever made by Mr.Foster or his colleagues to their alleged patriotism and anti-Ameri- canism as illustrated by their fiscal policy without being cheered to the echo by the Yankeephobes of the party.Then if this is a criminal offence, where are the necessary buildings to hold the \u201ccabinet of antiques,\u201d the followers in the House and tbe heelers in the country, who await conviction ?Without considering any further Mr.Foster\u2019s sudden outburst of penitence and suggested punishment, it may be worth while to point out to the Liberal leaders that in all intercourse across the floor of the House they must ever be on their guard.If they must shake hands, let it be with mailed glove.On the item increasing the duty on cattle, &c., being moved, Sir Richard Cartwright suggested in a courteous and considerate manner that in view of the proposed fiscal legislation in the United States the Government should seriously consider the propriety of omitting this item.It was a reasonable proposal, and should have been accepted in the spirit n which it was made.But the Finance Minister took advantage of the opportunity to make a bunkum speech and to make as much party capital out of it as he could.This is the usual course, and the Liberal leaders will find that the safest course, except on special and guarded occasions, is to remember that in political matters the present ministry is an organization which, like certain untamable animals, is safe only when treated as ready to spring.As some pretence is made by the Government that the present increase of duties against American goods can have no influence in fashioning the McKinley tariff bill it may be well to point out that this is a delusion.That bill has not yet been reported from the Ways and Means Committee, a body which has still time to make it more injurious to Canada.When reported it will still have to pass the House of Representatives, and after that the Finance Committee of the Senate, and at any one of these stages its features of hostility to Canada may be enlarged.Sir Richard Cartwright therefore was quite within the bounds of propriety and wisdom in pointing out that the time tor legislating against American trade was ill chosen on account of the danger the Government is deliberately incurring of causing still more mischief to the farmers of Canada, However, Mr.Foster's attempt to make capital at the expense of the Liberal party will possibly serve to show the leaders of the Opposition that their wisest course is to be always on guard, and it may tend to discourage any inclination, of which there has been sufficient, to hold friendly parley with their opponents on public questions, THE GAZETTE: The Government's majority on Sir Richard Cartwrights budget amendment was 37.The Opposition\u2019s unrestricted deluge of unrestricted reciprocity talk has had no more effect on the House of Commons than, judging by the bye-elections since last session, it has had in the constituencies.Well, it was not expected that unrestricted reciprocity talk would have much effect on the machine majority which sustains the Government.They are not influenced by facts orarguments; they are simply operated by Sir John\u2019s \u201cthumbs up\u201d or \u201cthumbs down,\u201d as the case may be.The constituencies will be reached all right by and bye.ess GAZETTE : The Troy Press has an article on \u201c Peculations by Statesnfen.\u201d The twoterms do not fill together.A statesman cannot well be a peculator, and a peculator is out of the question as a statesman.What do you make of that distingaish- ed Tory statesman, Charles Joha Rykert?SOLD AGAIN, The Victoria, B.C., Colonist, which gives an unwavering support to Sir John Macdonald's government, is very much disgusted over the free mining machi- pery clause of the new tariff which reads: Mining machinery imported within three years after the passing of this Act, which is, at the time of its importation, ofa class or kind not manufactured in Canada.The Colonist says \u201cthe concession will \u2018\u201c be really no concession at all, unless * the word \u2018now\u2019 ia inserted in the clause \u201c which extends it, and even then it will \u201cnot be altogether satisfactory,\u201d and it explains why as follows : Is tae importer of mining machinery to be compelled to prove that a particular machine or plece of machinery is not manufactured in Canada?This requirement may place an almost insuperable barrier to the import of mining machinery from abroad.It will require a minute enquiry, which it will be very difficult to make, because those whom he must interrogate will have a strong motive to give him incorrect information.* * * * Then, again, will it be possible for this or any other manufacturing concern before the expiration of the term of three years to manufacture mining machinery of the kind re quired, and compel the miner to take it without regard to its quality or its adaptibility to the work he has to do,or to import the foreign article.There is nothing easier than for the Government so to word the provision, the apparent object of which is to give relief to the miners, as to \u2014* keep the word of promise to our ear And break it to our hope.\u201d \u2018We sympathize with the Colonist in its disgust, but cannot help it.So long as it and British Columbia representatives persist in supporting Sir John Macdonald\u2019s Government against their better judgment and against the interests of that Province, 80 long will the wily chief at Ottawa * keep the word of promise to their ear and break it to their hope.\u201d The free mining machinery clause of the tariff will simply prove a delusion in practice.SMOKELESS POWDER, A good deal of the inventive talent developed in modern times has been engaged in the contrivance of ingenious methods of facilitating the slaughter of human beings.The latest is what is known as smokeless powder.Extensive experiments were made in France last week with this new agent, and they have been described by military critics as being satisfactory beyond all expectation.If adopted by the great European powers \u2014and most of them bave already placed orders for large supplies of it\u2014it will effect a revolution in present modes of warfare.Hitherto the smoke created by the explosion of powder, though it has had enormous drawbacks, has not been without its advantages.It disclosed the pre- gence of an enemy otherwise unseen, in many of the situations that present themselves on the battlefield.With smokeless powder, an army may receive volley after volley of murderous fire from an invisible enemy safely entrenched in strategic positions, and be unable, of course, to respond with effect.New tac- tice will consequently have to be devised.Bat it may probably turn out thal the invention will defeat the objects wkich it is confidently claimed that it will secure.The main advantage which it is held to offer, in the case of two opposing armies, is that each will be enabled to observe the movements of the other, owing to the absence of smoke ; and that thus the engagement will be decided with a prompt- pess and celerity undreamt of by the most energetic generals of former days.If, however, one of the combatants should use very smoky powder as well as smokeless powder, and in this way cover the battlefield with an unexpected, dense cloud of smoke, all the calculations founded upon the visibility of the foe would be upset.This consideration presents possibilities which will, no doubt, dampen the ardour of the enthusiastic admirers of this latest invention.To be sure, the difficulty would be overcome were each army to agree to use no other kind of powder but the smokeless kind.But would the agreement be loyally observed, and, if not, who would punish the offenders ?After all, the smokeless powder may end in smoke.BALFOUR'S BILL.The leaders of the English Liberal party do not seem to have yet determined upon what course they will take in reference to Mr.Balfour's Irish Land Purchase Bill.It may, however, be taken for granted that, unless it is considerably amended, a motion for its rejection will be made by one of them.The party is, as a whole, favorable to the principle embodied in the Tory measure.Itis to the means by which it is proposed to apply that principle that its members object.These are intrinsically unsound, and are at variance with all accepted canons of statesmanship.The guarantees which are offered are con- siderad to be wholly illusory.It is contended, and with reason, that in the event of a general strike against the payment of the stipulated annuities there would be no other alternative lett but to pay them out of the British Treasury, Lord Randolph Churchill\u2019s exhaustive criticisms of the bill will not be without their effect upon a large number of thuse with whom he bas been in the habit of voting, except upon isolated occasions.There are mutterings, too, of disaffection among some of the staunchest of Lord Salisbury\u2019s supporters; and threats of active oppo sition from eeveral of them are openly made.Extensive modifications in the bill may, therefore, be looked forward to with some degree of certainty.If the alterations should be in the direction indicated by the Liberals, they would doubtless withdraw their opposition as a party, leaving individual members free to vote as they might think advisable.One objection which is being urged with much persistence against the bill is that, if the Imperial Goverament once embarks upon the course-which it maps out, it will ultimately be obliged to go further, until there will be no knowing where it will stop.It may be replied that if this Course leads to justice, there can be no danger in starting upon it, and little feax that the distance travelled will be too long.Either the bill is in the direction of justice or it is not.If the former, it would reprehensible not to support it; if the lattèr, it would be equally blameworthy not to oppose it.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 ON THE WARPATH.In yesterday's HeraLp we noted the attitude taken by the Conservative Calgary Herald on the Brymner fur scandal, in which General Middleton, Hayter Reed and Samuel Bedson are mixed up, That paper appears to have entered vigorously on the warpath, and demands further and more searching investigation into ail of Mr.Lister's charges, several of which were ruled out of the enquiry by the special committee.As if to prove that there is \u201ca very Vesuvius of corrupt revelations\u201d to be made, it tells something about the pool table not generally known to the public.One of Mr.Lister's charges (ruled out by the committes) was that Mr.Bedson, warden of the Manitoba penitentiary, \u201cappropriated to his \u201cown use 8 pool table and horses \u201ctaken from the settlers at Batoche.Respecting this pool table the Calgary Herald says : \u201cThe table is in the Banif \u2018 Sanitarium to-day.It was bought \u2018from Sam Bedsan by Dr.Brett, who \u201c then knew nothing of its history.1f * Mr.Bedson can explain his possession \u201c of the pool table and his traffic in the * property, we hope he will do so.\u201d All this is getting to be decidedly interesting, and gives emphasis to the demand with which the Herald's article is headed, *\u2018Let the whole truth come out.\u201d The article in question will be found on the seventh page of to-day\u2019s HERALD.OTTAWA CITIZEN :\u2014In fighting political battles in the County of Haldimand, Mr.Colter has thisadvantage over Dr, Montague: He has * lot of money.\u201d The other fellow and his friends appear to make the greatest use of money wherever they get it.Perhaps some Government contractor, who will put in a bill for extras by-and-bye, could explain how the impecunious Tory candidate is able to spend so much money in elections, Wuy cannot the members of the Government give straight and definite answers to questions put by members on matters of public interest ?In the House of Commons, yesterday, Hon.Peter Mitchell had to interrogate the Minister of Inland Revenue half a dozen times before getting even a partially straight answer; and even then it was as hazy and indefinite as possible.AN unsophisticated Tory journal says England will take from us all the eggs we can send ber free of duty.Will she?There is room for improvement in our egg trade in that direction, for last year Great Britain took from Canada just $13 worth, while the United States took $2,- 156,725 worth.WHAT OTHERS SAY.THE VICTIMIZED FARMERS.Manufacturers combine to raise the price of their products, merchants combine to raise the price of their goods, workingmen combine to raise wages and shorten hours\u2014we all have our little combinations except the farmers.By and bye the farmers may combine too.They may decline to sell wheat except at a couple of dollars a bushel.Then there will be a pretty row in the cities.But the farmers are having a hard time of it, and they need combination just as well as other psople.\u2014Oltawa Journal, Ind.Tory.NO CONCESSIONS AT ALL.The concession will be really no cou- cession at all, unless the word \u201c now \u201d is inserted in the clause which extends it, and even then it will not be altogether satisfactory.The miners of this province, at any rate, would notget any more than bare justice if the clause read simply \u201call mining machinery.\u201d Bat if itis impossible to obtain that measure of justice, surely the Minister of Finance could be prevailed upon to make the qualification read \u201cnot now mannfactur- ed in Canada.\u201d It seems to us that the miners will get no relief whatever from the mining machinery provision of the tariff if it reads as it has been telegraphed to us by our special correspondent.\u2014 Victoria, B.C., Colonist.SQUIBS.\u2014Much charity that begins at home is too feeble to get out of doors.\u2014 When the devil wants to train up a young man in the way he desires him to go he employs Idieness to boss the job.\u2014A medical writer says that the cholera microbe is shaped like a comma.It's the colon, we believe, that the microbe makes the objective point in the stomach.\u2014\u201c'The fatal gift of beauty\u2014what is it?\u201d said Smithers.\u201c Well, I give it up, un- Jers\u2014un\u2014unless it\u2019s the Christmas present your wife gives you and you have to pay for.\u2019 \u2014\"\u201cThat is a spirited battle scene of yours.What do you call it?\u201d \u201cThe Charge.\u2019 \u201d \u201cYou ougnt to paint a companion piece showing all those fellows dead un the ficld and mark it \u2018Paid.\u2019 \u201d \u2014Walker\u2014\u201cGood gracious, Wentman, how you have changed\u2014only a ghost of your former selt?What have you been doing?\u201d Wentman\u2014\u201c Following out the * Health Hints\u2019 in the newspapers.\u201d \u2014Actress (to interviewer)\u2014\u201cSo you want the facts of my life?Well, to begin with, I was born at Newark, N.J.\u201d Inver- viewer\u2014\"1 guess I'll sorten that down a little.I'll just say you were born abroad.\u201d \u2014There is one nice thing about being an idiot.There is never any likelihood of an iaioi\u2019s blowing his brains oat.This information was given us by one who knows and 1s not based on personal experience.Smithkins (indignantly)\u2014This statement in the newspapers about me is a shame- Johnson\u2014Are you going to demand a correction ?Smithking\u2014Well, I think not.The editor might print the truth about me then.DIED, DANSEREAU\u2014In this city,on 9thinst., Mrs Sarah Wilson, wife of Pierre Dansereau, Esq., Merchant, of the firm Thomas Wilson & Co.Funeral will take place, Friday, 11th inst., fiom her late residence, No.97 Germanstreet, at 8 o'clock sharp, to Noire Dame church, and thence to Cole des Neiges Cemetery.Friends and acquaintances are respectiul'y invited to attend without further notice.u \u2014\u2014 4 THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE.FRIDAY.APRIL Il NEW ADVERTISEMENTS Carsley\u2019s Advertisement.¥riday, April 11th, 1890, NEW OXFORD SHIRTING NEW OXFORD SHIRTING NEW OXFURD SHIRTING For Farmers' Shirts.For Travellers\u2019 Shirts.For Gardeners\u2019 Shirts.For Cuachmen'\u2019s Shirts.For all out-door workers.choose from.FOR BOYS\u2019 FOR BUYS\u2019 SUITS FOR BOYS\u2019 SUITS Just received a new lot of striped and checked Cotton Suitings made specially for boys spring and summer wear : all fast colors.8.CARSLEY.Large stock to SUITS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS FOR HOUSEKEEPEHS FOR HOUSEKEEPER3 Aprons now selliny, A very serviceable line of English Check Ginghams in special widths ;

Kingston, Shion was THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE FRIDAY APRIL 11 TO goxIN1ON PARLIAMENT.sith Parliament-Fourth Session.[sPECIAL TO THE HERALD.] Orrawa, April 10.In the House to-day the following bills introduced :\u2014 .Lie act to amend the Indian Advancement Act, chapter 44 of the revised sta- tes\u2014 Hon.Mr.Dewdney.ve act further to amend the act re- ting the inland revenue, chapter 34 de the revised statutes\u2014Hon.Mr.Cos- re act respecting fishing vessels of the United States of American\u2014Hon.Mr.Te Tops act to amend the Seamen's Act, chapter 74 of the ravised statutes\u2014Hon., Colby.Mme Peter Mitchell asked for an explanation from Hon.Mr.Costigan and Sir John Thompson.Both ministers replied, but in such a tone that neither the members or press could hear one complete sentence.Mr.Mitchell asked how long the modus tirendi with the United States was toe hn Thompson answered for one Yo.Mitchell.\u2014Have you any hope of an amicable settlement ?Sir John Tompson\u2014We have hopes.Mr.Mitchell\u2014Vague hopes.After an enquiry by Sir Richard Cartwright about the banking bill, the bringing down of which Sir Hector Langevin evidently knew nothing about, the House went into committee and passed the firsc dause of Sir John Thompson's interpre- ion act bill.; peaking to Mr.Costigan, Mr.Mitchell asked : Has the hon.gentleman withdrawn that bill which was under discus- gion the other day for the stamping of ther ?te Costigan\u2014The bill is on the order Tr.Pr Mitchell\u2014Y ou still intend to prose- cate that bill?Mr.Costigan\u2014It is on the order paper.Mr.Mitchell\u2014I asked a question.Do you intend following up that bill ?Because 1 have understood that it is to be dropped.Parties interested have asked me to ascertain whether it was really dropped or not.Mr.Costigan\u2014Representations have been made by gentlemen interested in the bil.Both sides have been heard and we have promised that their recommendations should be considered before any further action was taken on the bill.Mr.Mitchell\u2014Then it is not settled ot.Yr.Costigan\u2014No further action has been taken on the bill.Mr.Mitchell\u2014It seems to me that session after session the Department of Inland Revenue changes and tinkers with the law when there is no reason forit We onght to have some settled policy with reference to the legislation of that department.There was a lengthy discussion when the house went into committee to consider Sir John Thompson\u2019s bill, intituled An Act to further amend the Criminal Law.The first clause which met with gerious opposition was that which referred to the punishment of employers\u2019 foremen and guardians.Mr.Mitchell and others did not disagree with the object, but pointed out that c«re should be taken to prevent blacki:ail, which might easily be successfully carried out if the act was passed as proposed, It was finally passed on a vote of 48 to 29, the only alteration being that the age of the female was placed at thirty years.A number of other clauses were discussed and passed before the committee rose and reported progress at 6 o\u2019clock.AFTER RECESS, The debate on the criminal amendment bill was continued.Mr.Blake drew attention to the Mormons in the Northwest, and spoke on information received by him from a friend in Utah to the effect that the exodus from Utah to Canadian territary was with the object cf escaping from the action of the United States law forbidding polygamy.He referred to visits made by persons of distinction in Canada, and regretted the tone of addresses made to them as being a species of encouragement given before the true intent of these immigrants was fairly established.The drift of his remarks was that there was great danger of the assurances given by the Mormons proving to be illusory, and intended only to meet the exigencies of the moment, and said that in the framing of the law now under discussion machinery should be provided to deal promptly and effactively with any attempts that might be made to practice polygamy.The Miuister of the Interior said that a Mormon delegation had visited Ottawa, and in asking for certain concessions as to the manner of holding land, had given Inost positive assurances that polygamy Was not, and would not be, practised.A discussion followed, several members taking the ground that Mormons Were not wanted here, and their coming should be discouraged.Mr.Mitchell contended that as Mor- Mons made excellent settlers in the matter of cultivating a country, and as we ad a large country and wanted settlers, 80 long as they were compelled to obey the laws they ought not to be discouraged coming, Sir John said they ought not to be encouraged, and would not be, in any idea of reintroducing their polygamous Practices here.They were nof wanted that but had been given to understand py they would have to conform to the Wold S had told them that polygamy - Not be permitted in

excellent one, Mr.Ferrari gavs two piccolo solos in a very creditabl> manner.The pubils of the schools rendered some very good choruses.The proceeds of the evening's entertainment will go to the French Society of Stenographers.There was a large and appreciative audience, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CLUB NATIONAL.A large gathering of the members of Le Club National and their friends took place last evening at the rooms of the Club on St.James street.Mr.Ernest Desrosiers delivered an interesting address on the Ireland of the present day.He declared against the present agitation for Home Rule, and expressed himself in strong terms against thé Irish population in general, Mr.H.J.Cloran, who happened to be present as one of the memuvers af the Club National, denied in toto the allegations of the speaker, and denounced them in very strong terms, and said Mr.Desrosiers did not know what he was talking about.After a few remarks from the secretary, Mr.de Ladarantaye, the meeting was adjourned tll next i'ri- day evening., \u2014 em \u2014 PHARMACY EXAMINATIONS.The semi-annual examinations of the Pharmaceutical Association of the Province of Quebec for major and minor candidates have just closed.Thirteen cau- didates for the major and thirteen eandi- dates for the mincr presented themselves for examination, when the following gentlemen received the requisite number of marks to entitle thera to be registered as licentiates of pharmacy and certified clerks respectively: F.R.Gravelle (gold medalist), A.J.Lawrence, A.E.Gravelle, J.Emile Roy, A.Belan- ger, B.Lyman

H.F.Jackson, J.R.Parkin, Montreal; R.W.Williams, J.Rivers and Jos.E.Morrisen, Quebec._\u2014\u2014 NINE HOURS A DAY Discussed at the Carpenters and Joiners Meeting Last Night, The united meeting of carpenters and joiners was held in the Ottawa building last evening to consider the question of working nine hours a day.A resolution was passed to that effect which will be sent to their employers.It is proposed to take effect on the lst of May next.The following gentlemen, representing the different unions, were elected as delegates to interview the employers: Messrs.Jos.Fordie, J.A.Rautelle, representing the Union 311; Messrs, Louis Lefebvre, L.Thivierge, N.Ruiron and F.Denis, Unlon 134; Messrs.Andrew O'Leary and Jas, Cameron, Union 376.The members appointed by the amalgamated society were Mr.John Lanyon, D.Scott and W.Alkin.\u2014\u2014 THE JUBILEE SINGERS.Their Concert Does Not Materialize\u2014 The Reasons Why.The concert by the Jubilee singers, announced to be given in Queen's Hall last evening, did not come off.The reasons given by Rev.W.8.Kane and Mr.Carter, Manager of the Company, are the following : That when the hall was negotiated for nothing wes said by the lesses about payment in advance, the impression left on their minds being that payment would be made the night of the concert ; that only last night, when the time to open the hall arrived, were they informed that payment in advance was required ; that they went to interview the lessee, who refused to be seen on account of illness; that Mr.Carter offered $25\u2014all the money he had about him\u2014and his bank book as security for the balance, and that the lessee\u2019s agent should occupy the box office till that balance was taken in.This, they say, was refused and tha people who came to the hall had to go away.They further say that if they had been informed payment in advance wag required, they would have been prepared for it.This is substantially the case stated on behalf of the Jubilee Singers.The lessee of the hall has, of course, to be heard from.The agent of the Jubilee Singers says the tickets will be good for the concerts, which will be duly arranged for, and announced in the papers.He also threatens an action for damages, \u2014\u2014\u2014 THE PIONEERS OF AMERICA.The Very Reverend Dean Carmichael lectured before a large audience in the school room of St.George\u2019s Church last evening.The subject of his address was \u201cThe Early Frenchmen and Early Englishmen in America.\u201d The learned lecturer, in the course of a very able and interesting discourse, spoke of the early arrival of the French in Canada and the English in Massa chusetts and Virginia He went on to speak of the heroic nature of the representatives of the two countries, but it must be borne in mind that the French were supplied with money and even with wines by their Government at home, and were also given bounties for the number of children born to them, whilet the English received nothing from the home Government.On the one hand they saw the heroic Frenchmen.striving to form a country, but their efforts were frustrated by the strong arm of the Church which ruled them with a rod of iron, rendering their efforts fruitless.On the other hand they saw a small body of self-reliant men raise a hitherto almost unknown nation up into one of the greatest nations on the earth.Even their clergymen used to preach on Sunday and throughout the week go axe in hand to hue down the mighty trees of the forest.At the close of the lecture a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the Dean for his masterly effort.le ST.GEORGE\u2019S SOCIETY.Proceedings at Last Night's Meeting.The quarterly meeting of St.George\u2019s Society was held at the home last night, the President, Mr.C.P.Sclater, in the the chair.The meeting was attended by Hon.J.XK.Ward, Messrs.Percy J.Evans, T.J.Bedford, Wm.Clark, W.Aidley, C.8.Aspinall, W, Norman, J.H.Redfern, Joseph Richards,

number of candidates for the vacancy on the Board of Assessors caused by the death of Mr, À.Hamilton.Those at present known to be in the field are Mr.N.A.Normandin, Mr.Charles Prevost, Mr.J.Dubuc, Mr.J.B.Resther, ex-Ald.Lamontagne and ex- Ald.Joseph Poupard.Before Mr.Justice Mathieu yesterday morning Messrs.Charles Berger, T.P.Hood and Dr.P.O'Leary were appointed commissioners for the expropriation of Rousseau Migeon for the construction of an outfall sewer, and Messrs.Henry Joseph, jr, T.P.Hood and Alfred Roy were appointed commissioners for the opening of Kent street.The Chief of Police says he will take no action in the case of cockfights outside the city.But the cockfighters do not need, it seems, to go outside the city for safety.It is said that twenty birds were made to mutilate each other, and seven were killed, at one of these brutal contests on Easter Monday ; the scene being no further away than Point St, Charles.The alternative schemes for which $200,000 was voted by the City Council, namely to construct a tunnel under the Champ de Mars from Craig street to St.Paul street, or to open up St.Lambert street from Notre Dame street to the river, is sure to cause a warm fight in the Council, the members for St.Louis and St.Mary wards strongly favoring the former, which is equally strongly denounced by some of the other aldermen.Ald.Prefontaine, chairman of the Roads, strongly champions the St.Lambert street scheme.Messrs.J.O.Pelland, Jos.Riendeau, Eusebe Geo.Phaneuf, Ls.A.Lapointe, Edmond Ls.Ethier, Jos.Monette, Chas.Desmarteau, Armand Dion and Theotime Lanctot, all of this city, have been incorporated under the name of \u201c La Club de Chasse et de Peche du chenal du Moisic,\u201d with & capital stock of $5,000.The notice in the Quebec Official Gazette states that the incorporation is \u201cfor the purpose of benefiting the health of the members and to afford them recreation in shooting and fishing.\u201d The City Electrician, Mr.Badger, has received from the Gamewell Company, of Boston, two beautiful and ingenious electrical apparatus that he is contemplating introducing into his department.Their purpose is to instantaneously announce the crossing of any wires or their contact with any earth connections.The working is very simple.A switch moved by clock-work is brought into contact with each circuit every fifteen minutes, and in case of any derangement of any part of a circuit when the switch comes into contact therewith, it is instantaneously announced by the ringing of a bell connected with the apparatus, and calls the attention of the operator, who immediately takes measures to have the trouble removed.\u201cEASTER FANCIES.\u201d The Ladies of the Y, W.C.A.Hold a Fair at Their Home.The members of the Yonng Women\u2019s Christian Association held what they termed apn * Easter Fancies\u201d fair, at their home on Metcalfe street, yesterday, the object of which was to defray the necessary expenses of refurnishing and decorating the large hall at their rooms on Metcalfe street.The hall was beautifully decorated with bunting 2nd flowers.The several stalls were plentifully laden with toothsome delicacies, the qualities of which, judging from the activity shown by the lady attendants, were being adequately tested by the lady customers.The stalls were distinguished by the colors which predominated, Yor instance, the cake table, presided over by Miss Uates, was dressed ont in pink ; the home-made candy stall, presided over by Mrs.Bryce and Miss Hillyer, with orange and white; the flower table, presided over by Mrs.Grafton, Miss Linton and Miss H.Jamieson, with pink and green.Besides these there was a lemonade stall, presided over by Miss McLea and Miss {Walbank ; whilst at the end of the halliwas a delightful retreat, fittingly styled, The five o\u2019clock tea bower,\u201d over which: Mrs.Linton, Miss Jamieson and Miss Scott exercised full sway, and in the most charm- ing manner dispensed cup of the very best souchong to their customers.The chief attraction, however, was the millinery stall of dainty little bonnets and bats exquisitely trimmed, the handiwork of the young women who have learnt millinery at the classes taught by the association, In a very short time the whole of the stock was disposed of, necessitating a replenishing.Two little boys dressed in fantastic costumes offered hume-made rolls just fresh from the oven.In fact, all of the goods were home-made, and from actual experience the reporter came away with a high opinion of the culinary ability of the association.Any surplus left over after the hall is finished will be donated towards the proposed new Convalescent Home.The association is doing a good work in holding educational classes, of which four hundred young women have availed themselves.For the modest sum of $1 they can learn shorthand, typewriting, German, French, dress making, nursing, and last but not least, cooking in all its branches.2 \u2014 SENT TO JAIL BY HIS WIFE.A barber, residing on Visitation street, tried yesterday morning to commit suicide by taking a dose of white vitrioL Dr.Bouchard, who was called, administered a strong emetic, and the foolish fellow was well enough to appear befora the Recorder yesterday afternoon.His wife testified that he was in the habit of beating her.Under the circumstances, His Honor sentenced him to two months at bard labor in the common jail.\u2014\u2014\u2014ee\u2014\u2014 12 TARING TIME BY THE FORELOCK.In a special interview with Cure Sen- tenne yesterday, it was learned that all efforts would Le made by the Sulpician Order to secure the great Dominican preacher, Father Monsabre, of Notre Dame de Paris, for the next Lenten season.Rev.Father Monsabre is regarded as the greatest preacher produced by France during the present century, and is an illustrious disciple of the famous Pere Lacordaire.LECTURING HOTELKEEPERS.Yesterday afternoon aboutsixty of the hotel-keepers were summoned before the License board.The names of those known to bave violated the law were read before the court.Judge Dugas referred to the means taken to check the effect of that portion of the law which permits the courts of justice to cancel the certificates of license, by the issuing of writs of certiorari and writs of prohibition by the Superior Court, so that out of the 15 or 18 certificates annulled last year, not one of the establishments affected could be shut.The experience of the commissioners was that all sorts of promises would be made by the applicants befora the confirmation of certificates, but too great a proportion of them will immediately afterwards ignore their promises and become persistent violators of the law.Judge Dugas said in conclue sion that the Commissioners thought it their duty to notify those present, in order that they should be exceedingly circumspect in their conduct.The Commissioners would not say that they would refuse certificates to those so accused, but they reserved discretion in the matter.The Judge binted that he personaliy would not sign any certificate for those whose licenses were annulled last year.-\u2014\u2014\u2014 NEW SERVICE FOR CANINES.There have been so many lives lost by falling of walls in this country during the past two months, says an exchange, that firemen have been exercising their ingenuity in devising a method of discovering the whereabouts of the victim without loss of time.If is stated that in Paris, bloodhounds are used for this purpose.The animals\u2019 fe:t are protected from injury by a mixture of soot, vinegar and borax, the latter being the principal ingredient, and thus he is able to pursue his search in safety among hot ashes.The utilization of the services of a dog gives one a new idea of his vaiue, and the fact that a blood- bound, instead of being employed to track living human beings, is used to discover the remains of dead oues is suggestive of tae progress the world has made in humanity.In view of the many cyclones, tornadoes and other calamitous happenings to which parts of this country are subject, Le, Louisville last week, this ought to give an added interest to pure bloodhound breeding over here, for this French idea is well worth imitating.\u2014 English Paper.\u2014\u2014___ REAL ESTATE BUSINESS.There were 263 real

for amounts of under $3,000, showing an encouraging activity in the right direction.The call for acre property continues to be strong, and enterprising men are now always on hand when any good epportunity offers itself to substitute improvement values for farm land values.Houses are renting very slowly\u2014the higher priced ones being the most difficult to get off.New houses have been taken up fairly well, but there are many houses built anywhere from ten to twenty years ago that must be brought up to the present standard of ths first- class house hunters\u2019 requiroments as regards heating, plumbing and style, or the rents must be reduced.Some owners will have a good opportunity this summer to make the needed improvements.a CONSUMPTION CAR BE CURED By proper, healtbful

the Practice Court, yesterday morning, Mr, McGibbon presented a petition to annul the resolution of the City Council authorizing J.B.Roy to collect horse market taxes for his own benefit.The ground of the petition is that the city has no right to thus farm out the revenue, and that the proceeding is illegal.COURT OF SPECIAL SESSIONS, In the Court of Special Sessions yesterday Judge Desnoyers presided.David Wells, the man arrested on the 23rd of March last for wounding his room mate, John Jackson, with a razor, was sentenced to three years in the peniten- tary.THE RECORDER'S COURT.In the Recorder's Court yesterday, 12 disciples of Bacchus were before Recorder DeMontigny.A laborer who was drunk and loitering on Juror street! was fined $5 or one month.; His companion, who had taken another direction, was arrested on McGill for the same offence, and fined also $5 or one month.The young woman arrested for stealing a watch from a shoemaker, while on a visit at the latter's place, was remanded, pending the results of the enquete.A carter for loitering and concealing his badge had to pay $3 to the eivic fund.The evdry day drunks were let off easy yesterday by the Recorder, who imposed on them the small fine of $1 or 10 days.THE POLICE COURT.In the Police Court yesterday, before Judge Desnoyers, a young man arrested on a charge of assault on a woman was remanded till the 17th inst.The young man is married and has a boy of ten years of age, who occasionally deserves correction.The day before yesterday, one of the women residing next door interfered, and, in consequence, was assaulted by the young fellow, hence the arrest.Alfred Harvey, the voung man arrested for satchel snatching, was sent to the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench.John Burke, charged with stealing a bedstead, was sent to the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench.BULLDOZING THE LICENSE COMMISSIONERS.The License Commissioners, not very long ago, refused a license to Mr.Wise- man, of St.Lawrence Main street, whose application had been opposed by a majority of voters in that district.Yesterday a writ was served upon Judges Desnoyers and Dugas, calling on them to appear before the Superior Court on the 24th inst.to show cause why they should not be compelled to issue the license.\u201cIt is further ordered,\u201d so runs the document, \u201cin virtue of a judgment rendered on April 10th, that you take into consideration the application of the said Wiseman for confirmation of the said certificate produced by him to obtain a license to keep a restaurant oa St.Lawrence street, and grant it, in your discretion, or refuse confirmation of said certificate under pain of bodily constraint on ycur refusal to confirm the said demand for confirmation of said certificate of license.\u201d One of the judges concarned is considerably amused at this thing.-_\u2014\" - MONTREAL AND THE GRAND TRUNSK.If the Seminary Collected Its Claim, Why Not the City ?Sir Joseph Hickson was examined on Wednesday afternoon in the case of Stephens vs.the City.Mr.Barnard questioned him at considerable length on the solvency of the Grand Trunk Railway Company at the time of the compromise, and the replies were to the effect that generally witness considered the company in a position to meet or settle all just claims upon it.Mr.Roy, City Attorney, was also examined as to the legal opinions given by him, and upon which the compromise was arrived at.Mr.Roy's examination was continued yesterday morning, when Mr.Barnard asked him if he remembered the members of the Council having been treated as spoiled children by the Grand Trunk.The reply was that often the members of the Council, like other public men, were given free passes, but nothing special was done in that way at the time of the agreement.Mr.G.W.Stephens\u2019 evidence went; to show that the amount of claim abandoned by the city against the company was practically and substantially a free gift to the company, He believed that the transaction on which the city\u2019s claim against the G.T.R.was based was a pure and simple loan, that the stock subscribed and held by the city was merely a collateral security for the repayment of this loan, that _the pretension that the city was an ordinary shareholder was, to his mind, groundless.He had carefully perused all the documents entered into between the city and the St.Lawrence and Atlantic Railway, and they, he thought, showed clearly that the transaction consisted of aloan by the- city.The Seminary of Montreal, which had a similar claim against the G.T.R., had been able to collect it in full.When asked how he explained the conduct of the Council in connection with the compromise, he stated that the Grand Trunk Railway was a very influential and powerful corporation, with a vast amount of patronage at its disposal.In cross-examination by the counsel for the city, to the question whether he knew any one member of the Council who had been unduly infiaenced, he answered that the members were, unfortunately, not in the habit of confiding in him, that he would be the last mau they would tell of such doings.Questioned again as to the solvency of the G.T.R.Company he stated that he considered the city\u2019s claim so good that when in the Council he had offered to collect it himself gratuitously, but had been unable to get anything done.Hagyard\u2019s Pectoral Balsam loosens the phlegm, curing coughs, colds, hoarseness, croup, asthma, bronchitis and all affections of the throat and lungs.Pitcher\u2019s Castoria.ne ian tii E

firstly, those which are only £kin deep (which are not now to be considered) ; secondly, those which are caused by a bad state of the blood, and which attack various parts of the body in different Ways.Skin disease shows itself in the HEAD, sometimes in the form of Dandruff, which no amount of brushing and combing will get rid of, and sometimes in the form of Scaly Eruptions.In the NECK, by an enlargement of the glands (commonly called Glandular 8wellings).which, if unchecked become very unsightly wounds.In the ARMEITS, and the inside of the ELBOWS, by an inflamed Roughness of the Skin, which is very painful when washed.In the HANDS, by deep Cracks or Fisaures, which, if healed for a few days, speedily open again, or by horny-looking patches.in the LEGS, > Hard, 5 ny and Tndamed Swellings, or y 1 ore or less deep.And on the BODY, in Red Scaly Patches, which as often as rubbed off, form again, or in the discharge of a thin, watery ficid of a very disagreeable nature.In all these cases the treatment must be twofold.An Ointment is required to relieved Itching, and medicine must be taken to change the state of the Blood, aud render it pure.Both these requirements are supplied by Dr.Roberts Celebrated Medicine The OINTMENT called \u201cTHE POOR MAN'S FRIEND.\u201d \u2014AND THE\u2014 ALTERATIVE PILLS.Called \u201cPilulæ An tiserolulæ,\u201d These two medicines have now stood the beet.of 100 years\u2019 trial, having been introduced tury, public in the latter part of the last cen- They may be obtained of all Chemists oi the Proprietors, hor of BEACH & BARNICOTT, BRIDPORT, DORSET, Prices 1slid, 26 9d, 11s and 33s each.Jan.ddreow AND LIOUO John Hope & Cg MONTREAL, AGENTS IN CANADA FOR JOHN DE KUYPER & SUR MARTELL & CO., Cota + Botterdan E& J.BURKE, Dublin, TTERSON & HIBBERT, Lop, BULLOCH, LADE & CO., Glasgoy, WM.JAMESON & C0.Dublin, CANTEELL & COCHRANE, Dublin De JOHN H.R.MGLSOH 2 BROS.Ale and Porter Brewers, 1006 Notre Name Street Montreal, Have always on hand the various kinds ALE AND PORTER IN WOOD AND BOTTLE, Families regularly supplied, -_\u2014 ADRIEN ET FILS,EPERNAY FINE CHAMPAGNE, Carte Rose, Carte Blanche, Carte D°\u2019or, Extra Dry, Price Lists on Application.FREDERICK KINCSTON, 25 Hospital Street, Montreal, HOTELS.LAWRENCE 135 to 139 St.James Street, MONTREAL.HENRY HOGAN, Proprietor, ZF The best known Hotel in the Dominion, ST.LOUIS HOTEL QUEBEC.This hotel, which is unrivalled for size, style and locality in Quebec.hus jusi been completely _Lranstformrd and modernized throughout, being refitted with new system ot drainage and ventilation, passenger elevas tor, electric bells and ligh:s, &e.In fact, all that modern ingenulty and practical science can devise to promote the comfort and convenience of guests has been supplied.CHATEAU ST.LOVIS HO{EL CO., Proprietors.HOTEL BRUNSWICK, Fifth Avenue, New York.This most fashionable and centrally located hote} has been renovated from top to bottom, and is now re-opened under management of R.H.Southgate upon the American and European plans.This hotel is the favorite resort for Canadians.MITCHELL, RANZLER SOUTHGATE, Proprietors.Comfortable Rooms, $2 per day;

It having been admitted that a large quuntity of furs, robbed from the half- breed Lremner, were appropriated to the use of General Middleton, Mr.Hayter Recd and Mr.Sam Bedson, Warden of the Manitoba peuiteutiary, one of the most sericus charges made by Mr.Lister, M.P., be'ore the Parliamentary Committee, has been fuily established.Mr.Lister at the same time formulated other charges, to wit, these :\u2014*\u201c That this was \u201cpot au isolated transaction but was \u201cpart of a geries comprising the follow- \u201cing: (a) That furs taken at Batoche \u201cwero appropriated by General Midale- \u201cton.(b) Tuat horses were taken by \u201c General Middleton and appropriated to \u201chis own use.(¢) That Badgon appro- \u201cpriated to bis own use a pool table and \u201chorses taken from the settlers at \u201c Batoche.\u201d \u2018the Committee declined to deal with any charge except that in reference to the furs, holding that the House had not autherized them to take up other charges.This i8 no reason, however, for the House itself not ordering enquiry into ALL the charges.Now that so much has been laid bars we may as well have the whole story.Did General Middleton appropriate those horses?There are those who believe he did, and 1f he did and if bo has at least one such horse in his pos- sessiou atill, how is such conduct to be defer.ded ?And why should he not be held accountable and be made to pay for tkis additional act of plunder?Then there is tbe case of Mr.Bedson.Did he take the borees which he is charged with apuropriating ?If this accusation is as well voucled for as that of the pool table, it will go hard with Mr.Bedson.Of the pcesession of the pool table there can be no doubt.The table is in the Banff Sanitarium to-day.It was bought from Sam.Bedson by Dr.Brett, who then knew nothing of its history.If Mr.Bedson can explain his possession of the pool table and bis traflic in the property we hope be will doso.It isfeared he can not; and if it can be truthful urged against bim tbat be was guilty of appropriating private property in this way, how is he to continue in the public service ?Mr.Reed's case stands somewhat differently from the others.He is connected only with an appropriation of furs ordered by the General, and may have considered himself justified in accepting what the General gave him.At all events he returned the furs.But we find no order of the General for appropriating horses.pool tables or other plunder, even if such an order were worth a rap.Now that the blistering scandal has been placed in such a position that it can be dealt with faithfully in the light cf the public, now that ail the actors in the scene are in Ottawa within reach of Parliament, it is to be hoped that no technicality will be permitted to arrest a full and free and most searching enquiry into every charge Mr.Lister has undertaken to father.To stop short now would be a faithless and short-sighted couree.The country demands that the bottom facts be disclosed and that whatever punishment is found to be deserved shall iall where it belongs, ~The Government, which has been so badly served, should take the initiative in extending the larliamentary enquiry vntil all the points raised have been covered and every example of wrong doing has received its fitting reward.=>.FIRE INVESTIGATION.The following is a summary of the evidence taken befors Fire Commissioners Perry and Poirier, at the investigation into the fire, which took place in J oseph Gravel's saloon, 2265 Notre Dame street, March 27th : Joseph Gravel testified :\u2014The day before the fire I had left the city for St.Placide.The saloon is rented to Alphonse Perreault.I hold an insurance in the Scottish Union for $2,000.My losses aro $400.About two months ago I took a saizie gagerie against one Archambault, who has gince left for the United States.I do cot krow who set the place on fire, but I have no hesitation in saying that the fire was an incendiary one.Alphonse Perreault testified that on the cay of the fire he left the premises about 12 o'clock p.m.in company with Alphonse Morin, carter, and Francois Dragon.Morin drove him home on St, Louis street.When he left there was no sign of fire.He holds the license, but rents the bar and fixtures from Joseph Gravel.He (Perreault) has no insurance.The first knowledge of the fire was whea be arrived to open.Has no doubt the fire was an incendiary one, but cannot see who could have done it.He has no enemies to his knowledge.Alphonse Morin, carter, testified that he bad left the place with Perreault about 12 p.m.and drove Perreault home on St.Louis.F.Dragon and Perreault left the premises together.There was no tign of tire at the time, _ ee TEACHING GROWN FOLK.Miss Harrison\u2019s Last Lesson to Her Mothers\u2019 Class.\u201d Miss Elizabeth Harrison gave the last of the series of ten lessons to the \u2018\u201cmothers\u2019 class\u201d\u2019 at the Art Institute, Chicago, on Wednesday morning.The course has been highly successful, the class having grown steadily in numbers.It will be reorganized next fall to further pursue the study of Froebel\u2019s system of child culture.A number of questions were answered by Miss Harrison before the regular lesson began yesterday.* Specify some simple things which the children can do in the home life to occupy othem aright?\u201d Miss Harrison was asked.\u201cThe mother lacks resources and the child gets into mischief,\u201d she said.\u201cThere are three essentials which the child should be supplied with\u2014a black board, a pair of scissors, and « paste pot A child three years old or over can oc cupy .hours with the blackboard with ever increasing delight if given occasional assistance and suggestions.These three things wil! exercige important faculties.With the blackboard the child employs its memory for reproducing what it sees or has seen.With the scissors it uses the analytic faculty, and in putting together with the paste-brush what hag been cut out by the scissors the little one uses its 6-0 thetic or classifying faculty.* Even more essential are the outdoor occupations.Isuggest for the children a pile of sand, a load of kindling-wood, and a swing.The sand pile satisfies the instinctive desire to master material pature.The kindling satisfies the inherent desire to construct or build things that have a certain permanence.The swing will satisfy the instinctive desire for freedom.\u2014to fly through the air like the bird does.The sense of flying satisfies the childish longing for freedom of motion.\u201d The lesson for the day was then taken up.\u201cThe true attitude of growth is that of one hand reaching up for help and the otber reaching down to help,\u201d said Miss Harrison.\u201cThe little child naturally looks up.All people about him (or her) arc stronger, larger, and more capable.Iv is more difficult to teach him to look down on those weaker than he and to reach out a helping hand to them, The instinct to do go is strong in the child, but we too frequently ruin or pervert it by such ill-considered taunts as, \u2018Sze, your little brother can do that as well as you,\u2019 arousing either his jealousy or the tyrant\u2019s gense of \u201csuperiority over the weak.* A god-like nature his, For the gods look down.Exclaims Aurora Leigh.The power to help another human life is the greatest on earth.Let each one strive to give this power to the children.But a formal doing for some one else engenders Pharisaism.Let it always be voluntary with the child.A little friend of.mine said to his mamma after she had given bim money to put into the contribution box at Sundav-school : \u201cGuess I won't buy any more heathens, mamma; Ili save the nickel and get some crayons.\u2019 \u201cThe child had no sympathy with the heathens.He did not know them or care about them.It was a vague, ute terly useless thing to the child\u2019s mind.Better far would be some simple little action expressing his love for something.All right doing is grounded on right feeling.Arouse the affections of the child for something less than itself.You can begin with the younger baby, letting the little boy or girl pretend to take care of it, and nearly all animals will quickly respond with signs of Joy to a child's care.\u201cBut, to be truly godlike, the child must learn to nourish without receiving à quick return, to have not only tenderness and generosity but patience and courage: Every child should be given the care of plants.Give it things to cherish which will rish if it stays away, and teach it to be patient and to wait witb faith for the results, This will teach it to plant the seeds of kind words and wise helpfulness and not expect to see the results.All the great work of the world has to be done this way.Patience and courage win the great battles of life.\u201cFroebel has called children the \u2018seed corn of thefuture.\u2019 Let me impress upon you these points: \u201c1.The nurture of the seed must begin even before it appears on the sur- ace.\u201c 2, The seed must bave the right kind of soil from wbich to draw its nourishment.The child must have the environment.\u201c3.The seed must have plenty of sunshine; and to follow the idea further the child needs positive rather than negative training.\u201c4 There is danger in too frequent transplanting.This thing of moving around from boarding house to boarding house and of much travelling is highly prejudicial to the healthy development of the child.5.\u201cPlants must be watered at the proper time.Many a mother has forced ber child into Jying by accusing it of wrong-doing at the moment of discovery when the child is weakest to resist the temptation to lie.It is not with impunity that you can penetrate into the sanctuary of a child's soul.It will rebel against the attack and close like the sensitive plant that is approached rudely or inconsiderately.6.\u201cThe lily cannot be watered directly on the roots.Each plant requires its own kind of treatment.\u201d 7 \u201cWe must not expect our plants to blossom in a day.\u201d Miss Harrison, in taking farawell o the class, spoke of her * owu little chil dren,\u201d the neglected waifs, some of whom bad been gathered into the free kinder- gardens on the north, south and west sides of the city.\u201cIt is a mistaken idea that motherhood is motherhood the world over,\u201d she said.\u201c The brutality of some mothers in tke lower class of society to their children amazed and startled me.Thousands and thousands of little ones are kicked and cuffed about until they get old enough to go on the street as refugees.How can you expect them to grow up into honest, truthful, God-loving, and God-fearing men and women?They have never had a high 1deal held up before them.To such as these the kindergarten is a God-sent messenger.I wish I might enlist your sympathy and assistance in this work of doing in some measure for the poor little outcasts what you are so earnestly and zealously doing for your own loved little ones.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014 Cleveland Critieises Blaine.BosToN, April 8\u2014In a recent interview with Samuel Mendum, secretary of the United Question Clubs, ex-President Cleveland criticised Mr.Blaine\u2019s attitude towards the South American Republics in a pleasant way and said he thought the Secretary of State would eventually gee the wisdom of coming oat strongly for reciprocity.The ex-President also alluded to the damaging effect which a reimposition of the duty on hides would have upon New England leather indus- fries, and said the effect of the McKinley bill would be to increase the demand for a real reform of the tariff laws.ps Blaine and Brazil, Rio Janeiro, March 15.\u2014Secretary of State Blaine has sent out circulars to all Ministersand Consuls, possibly in South America\u2014certainly in Brazil \u2014request- Ing information in regard to the means of extending American trade in their localities.As most of these officials are new men, they will naturally require gome time to got the desired informa tion.The Consul General at Rio, Mr, Oliver H.Dockery, 18 very assiduous in his efforts to comply with Mr.Blaine\u2019s request.All commercial businesses are asked to give their opinion, and such opinion thus obtained is made into a despatch.If American trade is to make headway in Brazil great improvement in the mail service is demanded.The mails from the United States are now very irregular.They are supposed to come every three weeks, but as a general rule it is from four to six or even seven weeks before a letter mailed in the United States reaches its destination in this country.The most expeditious way now is to send letters by way of England.Children Cry for Pitcher\u2019s Castoria.THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE FRIDAY.APRIL 11 ~ CARS INSTEAD oF CARRIAGES.A railway company in Allegheny is meeting with some success in its efforts to have adopted there the South American custom of funeral parties going to the cemetery in horse cars instead of carriages.An official of the company is quoted as saying: \u201cOur road now does service for nearly all the burials which take place in the South Side Cemetery It is the custom in nearly every case where the funeral takeg plece from a residence along the liue ot the road, or in Mt.Oliver, for tne friends to notify the Company that the services wil be held at a Certain hour, ant to have tLe cars lu waiting at that hour at & cenvenient point.A side track has Leen placed in the vicinity of tne cemetery gate, and the cars on reaching that Point are run on to this sidiag aad walt there until the services in the cemetery are concluded, and then return to the starting point.The number of cars placed in service depends largely on Circumestances.Some persous who are well known and popular have a large concourte to follow tueimn to the grave, while at other iutermente the attendance is small.With these accommodations at band all the expense necessary to ba undergone by the relatives of the ae- ceased is the hiring of a bearss and one or two carriages for the mourners.Lf desirable the cars can be chartered, or each person may pay Lis or her fare.This cepends entirely on arrangemeuts previously made.\u201d WHY A CHICAGO WOMAN WANTS A DIVORCE.Ross Peters, one of the most prominent men of the Chicago Board of Trade, a partner of the la Lester, the sto:k broker, has been served with divorce papers of an extraordinary sort by his wife, who, as Miss Marion E.Howard, of Brooklyn, v.edded Peters a fow years ago.The wedding was a faultlessly stylish affair and seemed particularly charming by reason of the fact that both parties were young, handsome and very wealthy.Mrs.Peters\u2019 attorney is W.A, Foster, ove ot the lawyers in the avarchist and Cronin cases.Her bill charges that Peters is 80 engrossed with club life that he has no time or inclination to attend to the demand of home.From the time the couple commenced housekeeping, a few weeks after their marriage, Mr.Petars, his wife says, has been making her life miserable, 2nd for many months has been coming home nightly from 12 to 3am.He awakes some time before noon, and wants the morning paper at once, and he has often pushed his wife out of bed and compelled her to bring him his favorite journal.Mrs.Peters is very fond of amusement, particularly theatre, but Peters, she says, goes to the playhouses alone, refusing to take her along.The lasttime he accompanied her anywhere was to the dog show a year ago.Mrs.Peters\u2019 parents, she says, gave her a $3,000 trousseau, the principal dress costing $10 a yard at wholesale in New York, Mr.Peters continually avers that the costume was illy contrived, mean ond penurious, and her parents should have been ashamed of it.During their entire married life, it is said, Peters did not give her over $150 worth of apparel.Mrs.Peters savs her husband criticises her manner of eating, saying she devours her food like a * hog,\u201d and that her voice is \u201cdisagreeable,\u201d \u201ccoarse\u201d and \u201cvulgar.\u201d The bill concludes with a statement that though Peters has failed to furnish his wife with clothing, and viciously curses at the bills of the household, he is a constant patron of the most expensive tailors in America.THE HORSE DIED FROM GRIEF.That horses are capable of emotion is susceptible of proof, there being many instances on record where the death of a horse has been traced directly to grief, One instance is as follows: A circus had been performing in a small Pennsylvania town when a trained horse sprained one of his legs so that he could not travel, The leg was bandaged, and he was made as comfortable as possible.He ate his food and was apparently contented until about midnight, when the circus began moving out of town.Then he became restless and tramped and whinnied.As the caravan moved past the hotel he seemed to realize that he was being dasert- ed, and his anxiety and distress became pitiful.He would stand with his ears pricked in an attitude of intense listening, and then as his ears caught the sounds of the retiring waggons he would rush, as best he could with his injured leg, from one side of the stall to the other, pushing at the door with his nose and making every effort to escape.The stableman, who was a stranger to him, tried to soothe him, but to no purpose.He would not be comforted.Long after all sounds of the circus had ceased his egitation continued.The sweat poured from bim in streams and he quivered in every partof the body.Finally the stableman went to the house, woke up the proprietor and told him he believed the borse would die if some circus horses were not brought back to keep him company.At about daylight the proprietor mounted a horse and rode after a circus.Hoe overtook it ten or twelve miles away, and the groom who had charge of the injured horse returned with him.When they reached the stable the horse was dead.The stableman said that he remained for nearly an hour perfectly still and with every sense apparently strained to the utmost tension, and then, without making a sign, fell and died with scarcely a struggle.The veterinary who was called remarked, after the circumstances were told him, that unquestionably the horse died from grief.If it is poasible tor all the mental faculties of the horse to become abandoned to grief to such an extent as to cause death, how much more does he appeal to the sympathy and regard of mankind.\u2014- \u2014\u2014 TOM IN THX PRESS.How a Philadelphia Evening Paper Lost One of Its Editions.Newspaper office cats have been fabled for their voracity and mischief-making propensity of getting into forbidden places.\u201c Ben,\u201d the brindle mouser of the Evening Bulletin, outdid any of his predecessors, however, by stopping the press the other afternoon, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger, Unluckily, for himself, he accomplished this feat only by sacrificing his own life.There Was no four-o\u2019clock edition of the Bulletin, and, instead, subscribers received the five o\u2019clock edition.It all came about through a frightened cats escapade.\u201cBen\u201d was just a year old.He is said to have been named after one of the pressmen.\u201cBen\u201d (the cat) was a noted ratter, and kept tha press-room cleared of tte vermin which might otherwise have preyed on the paste and the glue used in making the press rollers.His favorite spot for an afternoon nap, \u201cbetween editions,\u201d was on a foot-board alongside of the four-cylinder Hoe press.The forms were liftad on the press and locked securely.Pr2ssmen Thomas McSorley, John Connor, Frank Connor, Benjamin Esler and Thomas Hopson took their places prepared to \u201c feed the sheets\u201d to the press, and Engineer Jacob Lodge started the machinery at ten minutes to four o'clock.\u201cBen,\u201d started from his dreams of possible encounters with myriads of rats, sprang to'this feet and attempted to make a short cut across the lower foot-toard of the press to reach the opposite side.Voracious tapes carried cat and sheets of unprinted paper together downward, and then upward.There was a quick, sudden jar tuat shook the press; the ink rollers appeared to spring from their journals, and were beut by the obstacle they had encountered, and then a harder jar fellowed as a mass of paper emerged between the main and smaller cylinders, and there was flung out by the fies ou tbe opposite side of the press a very much flattened-out edition of \u201cBen,\u201d about a yard long and resembling a small floor-rug.The shock threw off the driving-belt aud the press stopped.The forms bad to be lifted from the cylinder and carefully scrubbed to remove the adhering for and fragments of 1 \u201cBen.\u201d lt was also fouud tha: the ink- i rollers had got bent.As a result, alto- + gether, the Bull tin lost an edition.\u201cThis is not the first cat that lost its life in that press,\u2019 remarked Business | Manager W.F.McCully, after enduring ia cloud of puns about \u201ccatastrophe,\u201d * cataclysm,\u201d and the like.* Twenty years ago another cat want to sleep in- Side of that big cyclinder, and awoke aîter the press began ruunirg.She at tempted to escape and was beheaded.Her gore ran over the paper and spoiied the whole edition.Our Mr.Peacock had a rat-terrier which chased a rat under the prets one day and got on the belt.The dog was carried arouud the belt and killed.\u201c Duringthe war I worked as night pressman on the Inquirer.Wa used to print off one side and then wait a couple of hours to print oft the second.Daring the interval between running off the first and second sides & rat got into the big cylinder to gnaw a bone.When the press started he tried to get out, but was caught by the tapes and carried around the cylinder and mashed as flat ag a pancake.He spoiled any quantity of sheets of paper.We had to pick out the remains from the type with pveedles, and it was 8 frightfully tedious job, I remem- er.ee Bitl Barnes Fired First.LEXINGTON, Ky., April 9.\u2014Distorted statements regarding the tragedy which took place yesterday at Chambers Station, in which members of the Barnes family were interested are circulated.1 saw a man from Menifee Co.who witnessed the affair.He said : \u201cA, Barnes and G.Stevens were loading flour on a waggon when the train came up.Bill Barnes, his son, brother-in-law and a friend, all armed, were in the coach.Bill stepped to the door and opening it fired on the two men loaning the waggon.\u201cThey promptly returned the fire, killing Bill Barnes and Kelley Day.Albert Barnes and George Stevens were not hit.After the shooting the last two men gave themselves up.The general feeling is that Bill Barnes ought to have been killed, but great sorrow is expressed for the loss of young Day, who was a splendid citizen.I don\u2019t think there will be any more trouble.It was not a factional fight at all, and now that \u201c Devil\u201d Bill Barnes is out of the way we fear no further bloodshed.rt A Trip to Manitoba.Last year I went to Manitoba on the C.P.R.At Rat Portage Igot

guard for the Empress, who are to do sentry duty before her apartments at her palace and are to serve as her escort at reviews and state functions.For palace duty the uniform consists of a white

Ald.Clendinnenz stated that experience had shown that more gas lamps are needed in snmmer than in wiater, and thought that ths Committes ousht to come to some arrangement with the Gas Company by which the city could get the extra lights in summer without having to use them in winter.He inuved that Mr.Badger and the chairmaa be authorized to communicate with tise Gas Company to see what could be done to carry out the proposal.After the motion was carried, another one to instruct Mr.Badger to places lamps on the posts already located was carried, afier which the Committee adjourned.The Health Committee.A meeting of the Health Commities was called for the same time as the Ligbt Committee, but as some alderman are members of both, the business of each committea could not go on at the same time, and tie Health Committes had to wait until the other was through.Hereafter one is to be :alled an hour before the other.There were present at the Health Committes Aldermen Hame- lin, chairman, Shorey, Gauthier, Germain, Brunet, Clendinneng and \u2018Tansey.The application from Mr.Darling for sewers on St.Catherine and Davidson avreets was recommended to the Council, as were the following sewers applied for: Guilbault street, between Arcaud;

a sergeant and several others, and if they cannot look after him the committee should get more.He said that when complaints are made against Mr.Mann it is time to go for him.He did not say he was fulfilling his contract, but held that the officials were not looking after their business.Ald.Clendinneng said that when he was chairman there had been complaints against him, and had held back warrants on that account.He saw no way, after enquiring closely into the matter, than fcr the city to do the work.Ald.Gauthier\u2014* Then it would be a good job to wipe out the Health Committee.Ald.Clendinneng said that the Council could decide what to do with the matter, \u2018The committee, he said, is held up before the citizens as noodles and know- nothings, and he wanted to bring the + cavenginz matter before the people.As Alderman Clendinneng\u2019s motion was carried, the whole matter will be ventilated 1 the Council.Ald.Shorey wanted some information about the removal of dead animals.He cited a cage in which great difficulty was experienced in getting a dead dog removed, it being three days before it Was accomplisbed.Numerous complaints bad been sent to him about the delay in removing animals.Inspector Radford said that Mr.Lynch, the contractor, does his work most promptly and effectually.Mr.Papineau, advocate, appeared be- ore the committee con behalf of Jean __ THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DA Baptiste Bertrand, to lodge a complaint regarding the seizure of the ica house and Contents of a man named Labelle.The seizure was made by tne Health Department, because the ice had been cut at the quarries.Mr.Papineau complained that ice cut at tha quarries bad been taken to the abattoirs.In reply to Ald.Clendinneng, the Medical Health Oilicer said that tue lca bad been taken without his permission, and tbat the inspectors at the abattoirs were instrncted to take no ice, except that cut on the river.;
