regulation of rates illegal, the President expressed regret, because the conserving influence of these Asiations, both in the interest of the public and railways, could not be doubted, hut he thought the good sense nf American Railway Managerscould be truated to fini lawfulmeans for protecting the interests in their cherge, wod pointed oat thet at the worst the Canadisp Pacific bad comparatively little interest in the traffic within the scope of the several Associations and had got along very well for maoy years and until within a year cutside of them, The past four years of panic, disaster and depression on this side of the Atlantic have been oo full of unpleasant surprises, that one may well hesitate about ex ing an opinion 88 Lo the future, but he fully shared in the belief expressed in the report theta .uro for the better ie at hand, The small wheat crop of last year reslized to farmers a much better profit than the heavy crop of the year before and the shortage was felt by the carriers alone ; therefore, the late losses in the earnings sh not be tiken as iadicating unfavorable 0 tions in the business of Ihe country.Un the contrary, while the shrink sge of the earniegs from the carriage of wheat from the Last crop, as com- peared with that of the year before, will reach at least a million and m quarter of dollars, this, as stated in the report, has largely been made up by ihe increase in general business.Une of the most encouraging features of the situation is the wide attention the mines of Hritieh Columbia are stiracting sod the Brent activity which prevails there.The «ff :ct of the mining levelopmenta in that Pro viaee last year manifest an increste of 21 per the earnings of the rest of the system.Rut the miaing developments are not confined to British Colambia; io the hitherto unpro- i ductive sectinn between Lake Superior and the Lake Of The Woods and especially about the Lake Of Tha Wuody, tich discoveries have been ceportsd in great numbers nod mini ng operations are actively going on.For these and other reas'ns the outlook seems tor be promising, and if we nre blesser with an average crop the Company may fairly expect a prosperous year.The several proposals in the report ec- Jatingfro capital expenditure, to the arrangement for working the Qu'Appelle, Long Lake and Saskatchewan Railway sod to the parchase of the Montreal and Western Railway were approved.he old Board was re-elected and at a subsequent meeting of (be Directors the old cers were re-elected.THE OHAMPLAIN UOUNTY ELECTION.DR.MARCOTTE, CONSERVATIVE, RE-ELECTED BY A

they ave in a position to do so, should lose no time in repudiating the sentiments attri- bused to them by leading correspondents in the United States.They owe it to their conatry that Canadians should not be made to pass for » nation of annexationists upon the alleged authority of leading members of their governing party.Anonymous eorrespnndence does not call for very much notice, but a literary man of considerable in the United States, Mr.Wurtan E Curtis, who sveured last year the famous interview with Me.Launixe which appeared in the Chieago Record, writes as follows to that paper from Washington :\u2014*\u201cThere ia likely to bes tariff war between Canada and the United states.The Dominion Government is now revising its tariff, to be submitted for the approval of Parliament, and it may be expected that prohibitory rates of duty will be impused upon American manufactured goods, in fo'aliation for the high rates that have been placed upon Canadian Jumber, fish, sad agricultural products in the Dixaisy Bill of the bonded privilege.the wall erected by the Dixcisy Bill has shut him out of the sale of his hay and exgs and pnt wall if he can.\u2018 Inst summer |

yenrs.\u2019\u201d It will be interesting, indeed, to know who is the leader of the Liberal party in Canada that has heen counselling the deprivation Canadians of such privileges as they now enjoy in order tr force them intv annexation to the United States.2 DISGRACEFUL JOURNALISM.Myr.Mzary Der VAL, the Papal Delegate to Canada, is not only a stranger in this country, but he is the offici ol repre.nentative of the visible head of ona of the great branches of the Christian Church.In bath capacities he is entitled to frank and courteous treatment.His Excellency has been most considerate to all with whom he hus come in contact and has been particularly careful to avoid anything that could cause offence to anybody.Ît is by no means surprising, therefore, that he should feel very much burt at the intentional misrepresentation of which he has just been the victim in the columns of our contemporary, the Montreal Herald.The story of which it was made a victim purported to have come from Quebec, and waztothe effect that Myr.LANGEVIN was severely snubbed by the Dulegate when he found him hege to meet him.The despatch added that when the Archbishop was introduced to him Mgr.Der Va.remarked to hin :\u2014 \u2018Tam very surry to see you here for there is a most important letter waiting for yon at your place \u201d Archbishop LaxoEvIN, according to the sawe story, took the hint and left at once tor St.Boniface.He had intended to remain with Mgr.Der VAL andto ne- company him to Winnipeg.The Ottawa Free Press, the Dominion (iovernment organ at the Capital, sent à reporter to ascertain the truth of the story.He called at the Water street hospital and, although unable tosee Mgr.DeL Vai personally, the reporter was accorded a very pleasant interview with his secretary, Rev.Father Taurienss.The latter stated that the report was without any foundation whatever.The meeting in Quebes w35 most pleasant snd Mgr.Deu Vai and Archbishop LasokVIN exchanged compliments and appeared to be on the friendliest terms with each other.Then the repost is again erroneous when it states that Archbishop Lasumvis immediately ret out for Manitobe after the supposed snub.This was not the case as His Grace arrived in Ottawa on Friday and immediately drove to Ottawa University where he made his headquarters until his departure for Montreal.The secretary also cited Mgr.Dxu Var's reply to the French address read in the Basilica at the reception Sunday evening, when he referred to the presence of Archbishop LANGEVIN at the ceremony in most cumplimentary Ianguage.In eonelusion Rev.Father Taurizeri stated that most of the newspapers were printing the most sensational matter in connection with His Excellency\u2019s mission without imakiog the least effort to find out if there was any foundation to the reports, The Government organ in Ottawa would searcely have undertaken to correct the Government organ in Montreal, if it could well have kept silence in the matter ; but the story carried ita own condemnation upon its face and its officia) contradiction was bound to appear in some paper.There was never the slightest justification for the penning of so false and so malicious a libel of the Delegate.Nu such rumor was ever current here, as alleged, and even if it had been, an enquiry at the Cardinal's Palace from any of its many dignitaries who were present when the Delegate and Mgr.Lasoævrx 1met, would harp immediately established its falsity.COLOURS FOR THE JUBILEE REGIMENT.Our correspundent \u201cCL\u201d syggested some days ago that a special regimental

that one wy well hesitate about egjiressing an opinion as to the future, but § fully share in the belief expressed in the re, of the Directors that a turn for the better is at hand.The small wheat crop of last year realized to the farmers a much better profit than theheavy epop of the year before, and the abortage was folk by the carriers alone ; therefore our late lonses in sqmipgs should not be takon as indicating unfavosable conditions in the business of the countyy.On the conteary, while the shrinkage in our earu- Tags from the carriage of wheat from the last crop aa compared with that of the year before will reuch at least a million and a quarter dollars, thin, as stated in the report, has largely been made up by an increase in general business.One of the most encouraging features of our situation is the wide attention the mines of British Columban age Attracting ani the great activity which prevails there.The effect of the mining developments in that Province last year is manifest in an increase vf ZI per cent.in the freight and passenger earnings of our Pacific division, which em- hraces the lines between the Columbia Biver and the Pacific const.The new trafic coptributed, of course, more or lena to the earnings of the rest of the system.Bat the mining deyelgprjents aro not con- tined to British Columbig.lj; the hitherto unproductive section between Lako

is in excellent eonditi throughout.The Directors have fortunately been able to continue ita improvement without interruption, increasing its efficiency year by year and at the same time greatly reducing the cost of transportation.As an illustration of this Sir WiLiIAaM VAN llokse said that the improvements which have been made since 1857 in permanent way, and especially in the suhetitution of the bighest type of permanent bridges for the original timber structures, has enabled the Company to largely increase the weight of its Jncomotives and the eize of its trains, and to effect a very large saving in the cost of its tram service, in addition tn the large mving which has been made in the cost of maintenance of way and in other directions.fn 1858 the average »iz> of freight trains was 11.75 Inaded cars, while last year it wns 16.31, au increase of 39 per cent, and leaving aside the decrease in the price of fuel, the cost of Incomotive service Lux year was less by $1,149,020 than it would lhisvo been at the cost per ton wioved in 1888.The President said that he doubted if the Compauy has over invested any mony which bas brought a more satisfac.wry Feturn, and the amounts still required fur improvements, would, he wax sure, produce sn equally good return.Te was highly compliontary, indeed, to the management that the whole vf the 53 wrd nies.these Colonies, have you not

RELIEF FUND.We caunot to warmly congratulate the members of the Mayor's [odinn Famine Relief Committee upon the success that has followed their appeal to the puidic of Quebee.The Mayor is specinlly entitled to prominent notice for the active interest taken by h'm in the matter, and for his regular attendance at the meetings of the Committee.To the Lord Bishop of Quebec, to whm is due the credit of initiating the movement, and tv the an- thorities of the Archhishoprie, who from its very inception gave it all the encouragement and aid in their power, public gratitude goes forth.The clergy of all denominations are entitled to pablic thanks for bringing the claims of the pror starving people of India to the notice of their res- peetive congregations.The cullectors have all performed a somewhat difficult and often thankless task with ne small measure of success, and Mr.Larraxce has made as most efficient and zealous tres- surer.It is gratifying to note that none of the above have been forgotten in the votes of thanks passed by the Committee at its final meeting.Speciel thanks are also due, ton, both to Alderman T.H.Norris and to Mr.Evwaxo Forey for baring frequ=ntly acted as Secretary in the enforced absence of the propor offizer.The citizens of Quebec are to be warmly congratulated for the liberality that they bave shown in subscribing to the fund.The result of their enatributions is seen in the $4,600 and moce forwarded to the Governur-General through His Worship the Mayor, and by ce nections and experience, which has beer.and dovelopment of the steamsnip trail between Great Britain and the St, to establish and tou operate fast trans Atlantic steamship service at lenat as chenz- dy as those who are compuative strangers to the route.When the ALLaNs tendered for this service a year or two ace their offer wis the most advantageous one received by the Government, and there was univers mtisfaction at the announcement that they were to have the enutract.Why it has not heen to them is well known to our readers.Party politics stepped in, and with the advent «of the new Adminstration to power, theofferof the ALLAN wan dropped and new plans were laid.The Prrreses offer is undoubtedly much lower than that of the ALLANs, and the CHRONICLE does not ark the Govern: ment to do otherwise than to accept the most advantageous offer.It should be thomughly known, however.whether there is net an enormous difference in the two services proposed, and also whether the ALLANs were invited this year, when Mr.PETERSEN was, to make an offer based upon the present prices of atzel and shiphuilding.This is a matter of material difference to the taxpayers who are to pay the Lill.As an illustration of the change in value of iron and steel within the last few years, our readers have only to contrast the present estimated coat of the proposed bridge over the St.Lawrence with that made a few years ago.Our Liverpool contemporary is quite right in its contention that the Federal Government is justified in endea- given mainly instrumental in the establishment Lawrence, aml which certainly might) be able THE QUEBEC GAZETTE, WEDN COMMBEBRCIAL.Lamber
