At seven o'clock yesterday morning two enthusiastic individuals, it is authoritatively reported, took np positions at the dooes of Her Majesty's Theatre with the firm determination that, even at the cost of twelve hours\u2019 waiting, they would be anicrg the first, if not the first, of the public to enter Mr.Tree's new playhouse, The circumstance is mentioned as typical of the extraordinary eagerness dis played by ali kinds and classes of people to be preeent at a ceremony interesting aot oely in 1tself, but also ws, so to speak, the harbinger of what is to follow.Rumour had, it is true, been busy regarding the merite nr demerits of the play that Mr Gilbert Parker had fashioned out of his popular novel **1he Neate of the Mighty,\u201d received by New York and Washiogton with very httle favor wad by Boston with acc\u2019anation, But it is 1olerably certain that although considerable curiosity was felt as to which of these ci had exprosesd the | truer verdict, the real ut of the evening | centre] lens in the play than in the playhor An uuhience sues a limited power of septivity, and when so much his to be mark- | ed, it 18 inevitall: that something should be ° overlooked.Of the theatre itnell we have already pablished copious retails, and it ie\u2018 unnecessary therefore to return to the subs ! jeet Yet even the private view given Saturday afternoon scarcely prepared one for the dasaliog appearance of the house last night, Great as ix the number of the sente al the dd 1 of the management, every place was occupied, while many held thesnselves happy in ; that they had secured an inch or two of stand- | ing room.The Prince of Wales, who with the Duke of Teck occupied the stage box, set | an excellent example by arriving a few minutes before the time advertised for the rising of the curtsio.Mr.Chamberlain was heartily cheered as he took his place in the stalls ; and a similar compliment was paid to Nir Arthur Sullivan, looking well and sun-Lrowned after his stay in the Riviera.The overture ended, the tableau curtains parted and Mre.Tree appeared in the costume of Madame Cournal.A tremendous burst of cheering greeted her.Wh-u at leogth silence was restored, she proceeded to deliver, with charming expression, the prologue specisily written for the occasion by the Poet Laureate, Appropriately enbugh, it began with « quotation feom * Measure for Measure,\u201d containin, the words \u201cVery well met, and welcome, Consi-lerations of space prevent us from dv e epilogue in full ; but the following ines, which bring it to & conclusion, afford a sufficiently fair impression of its ecope : \u2014 For this we put on motley to the view, And travesty ourselves, to comfort you.Yet there is ue, whose vecersted name We humbly borrow.and will never shame; large and efficient choir.Tne Natwnsl Anthem was then sung with superb emphasis, the entire sudiencs starting to ite feet and And then, the preliminary part of the pro- the house settied down more io London of *'The Seats of the Mighty.The book itself ie wilely kouwn and has achieved well-deserved populsrity with a large section of the reading public.The very elements which serve to make s suc play.Bat Mr, Parker, although unfemilier to metropolitan playgoers as a dramatist, is nol sltogether a novice in stage-work.He has gained experience elsewhere, und 1t was to be expected that the results of that experience would in the present instance make themselves manifest.Lat it be said at once that in the construction and develipment of his piece he has displayed conriderable dexterity sad ino genuity.But thatitis ona level with or even approaches the same level as the book from which it is drawn, cannot he declared.Asa novelist Mr.Parker ta precise almoat to laborioumnesr.His style possceses à mnet polrehont nicety ; he can be subtle without leaving any impression of vagueness ; while the care with w hich he builds up and de his characters lsaves nocpeniog for anycharge of inconsistency, \u2018The Seats of the mighty\u2019 iv a book which, with all ita stirring rc-nes and notable adventuree, could uot honestly be accused of a tendency towards melodrama as the word is understood to- lay.But when the story comes to be reduced by the auther himself to its primary clements wh result 7 A play so frankly ss melodramatic that in thinking of it, especially of the two last acts, one tinda it difficult to clear one\u2019s mind of memories of the Adelphi Theatre.The com- mandiog position held by Dultaire in the novel remai it in true, a commanding oue on the stage ; by virtue of situstion, however, rather than of mental vigour and in tellectual torce, Doltaire, to betrank, strikes the observer as being in the play somewhat of a clumsy villain whose g luck ie, up to risin point, more conspicunus than his ability.Incidents, however, that by the novelist are male to sppesr plausible and consistent fail somehow to seem 30 when pre- seated by the playwright.Yet, accepting the pew play an a melodrama set in a highly orpate frame, there is no denying its power The to interest and to hold the attention, action begins slowly carefuily written picture of the Cour t Versailles in the time of Louis is a tritle prolix and hardly gripalîthe audience with the req e force ;

Arthur Hill, of Saginaw, Mich., Vice-President, and E.C.Whitney, of Minneapolis, Secretary-Treasurer and General Manager.Mr.Whitney's brother is a prominent Dominion politician, Manager Whitney gives ail his time to the enterprise in the new town.The steam sawmill of the Company on the shore of Long Lake, the reservoir for logs, cut om the Company's limit, is a remarkably busy place.Power is furnished by a Reynnlde-Corliss engine of 800 horsepower with 24-fuot driving wheel and belt 48 inches wide.A shingle mill, 48 feet by 52 feet and an assorting platform, 32 feet by 276 feet are connected with the main mill.The gang and band saws are good for 900,000 foet of lumber in 10 hours, Logs to the number of 287,000 were cut in the woods this spring to bo sawed this season.The avenses of lumber already piled up in the yard for shipment are 3,000 feet long.Ten miles of small rails for will cars and 3} miles of regulation guuge are laid in the yard.Twelve thousand ear-loads of this lumber await shipment by the railroad to and through Ottawa.The Whitney limit comprises 370 miles and cost 9750,000.Employment is given to 380 handa in the mill and 650 in the wooda- The Gilmour Lumber Company of Trenton, Ont, have started an industry of about the same maguitude 32 miles west of Whitney and are sawing at the rate of 250,000 feet ® day.Their limit is on the shores of Canoe Lake, and is inside the Algomquin domain, but they bought it before the Government took the territory for a national park.Here there are from 1,000 to 1,500 cars of lumber awaiting shipment.The boom towns where thess mill men have located are far from the civilization of cities, but life is well worth living in thems.The mills are lighted by electricity.School-houses and churches are being erected, and the mails are regular.Lum- Ver is cheap and the bouses are models of stability and nestness.And, best of all, there is work for everybody.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 AUSTRALIAN CONFEDERATION.\u2018We are in recsipt of a copy of the Ade- Taide (South Australia) Obacreer, a hand- nomely printed and well-edited paper, eon- taining full accounts of the opening sessions of the Fit ist £ ue- of deciding upon the p edern- Foo of the Australasian Colonies.The paper before us contains the portraits of the delegates to the Convention and a atardy, intellectual-looking lot of men they from these pictures to be.All the Choaion in Australis proper are represented at the Convention excepting and of its abstention the Ubserver says :\u2014**Already the Convention has been delayed owing to the indecision and alorfness of the North-Eastern Colony, and only a few weeks azo members of the Brisbane Cabinet stated definitely that nd could not be re ted.Before that announcement they bad played the game of \u2018will, and will not,\u2019 and what gasrantee is there that they are not playi it again?If a Parlismentary majority in favour of the Eaabling Bil eouli not be obtained laut session after severe struggling and with the aid of the Premier, what chance is there of ita being secured in a special se-sion, and with Sir Huem Newox absent in England 1 At any rate, the Convention would be ex- ecadingly unwise if, in order to please Queensland, it adjourned before framing a Constitution.This is apparently what the Brisbane Government wants.in the alternative Queensland delegates might Cume in after the Constitution had been provera.and before tbe final adoption of Bill; but what would be gained hy that?If they agoeed to the measure they ould enter thy Federal Union without troubling about the Convention.If they did nt agree to it their attempts to alter the decisons of the Convention would bly result in unplesssat complications.The general opinion will be that Quesnaland doos not wish to appear as the old man oat\u2019 of the Australasian Federal concert ; and that now, as before, is merely trifling with the other Colomics in relation {to this matter.\u201d Canada had even more trouble with Nova Scotia in the early part uf her Confederation pro- evedings, and no doubt Queensland will fall into the line in due time just as Canada's Eastern Province did in years gone by.POTENT ELECTURAL INFLUENCES.It is impossible to read the opinions of the press upon the result of the recent elections in this Province without ing strock with the unanimity of serti- ment 18 to the layed in the contest by the F authorities, In addition THE QUEBEC GAZETTE.to the active participation of several Cabinet Ministers in the struggle, there are rts from the various constituencies, from Gaspé to Ottawa, of the improper use of both threats and promises with the electorate on the part of the Dominion Government.Even apart from tho exercise of this authority aud patronage, there is no doubt that the magic of + LAUNIER's name would have largely affected the result.Our French-Canadian fellow- citizens must have a political idol.At one time it wan PAPINEAU or LarosTaisE or Tache or CARTIER.Some few years ago it was CHarLEav.Thencame the rise and fall of Mercier.Mr.LAURIER has heen a tower of strength to his party ever since his elevation to the leadership.Tr gave him a practical command of the entire French-Canadisn electorate, at all events in the eoantry districts.Nobody will deny that the Federal Premier is eminently worthy to be à leader of his countrymen.Of a charming manner and personality he is also politically clean.His fellow-country- men are more ardent politicians than are vur's, but no English-speaking Liberal could have united them to the same extent 28 he has done.Neither the rugged Liberalism of Mr.Mackexziz nor the eloquence of Mr.BLake could have accomplished what the nationality of Mr.Lar kIER hasdone.Neither the hero-worship nor the political fidelity of the average French-Canadian may be divided.Sir Joss A.MacposaLD and Sir OLIVER Mowar, both at the same time held the confidence and support of Ontario, the one at Ottawa, the other at Toronto, In Quebec this condition of affairs would have heen practically impossible, at least for any considerable period.It is probable that Quebec would have followed Ottawa by a small majority in the late elections, even without the glamor of Mr.Lavmixx\u2019s name, for she has always done so since Confederation.She remained Conservative until a Liberal Government canse int> power in the Dominion.When Mr.Mackeszik was Premier, Mr.JoLy ruled for a time in Quebec.When Sir Jory A.MacposaLp resumed the Federal Premiership, Quebec uickly relapsed into Conservatism.Mr.Erciex's appeals and peculisr methods were strong enough to carry the Province for a time against the political complexion of the Federal authorities, but the clec- torate seized the first opportunity afforded it to get back into line with the politics of the Dominion Government.Just no they have permitted themselves to be swept along upon the samo tide that flonted Mr.LAURIER into power at Ottawa.OF course there has heen a go «d deal of the usual miscepresentation pli, opponents on the part of the ition press and orators.This has bees: largely aided and facilitated by ths eonduct of the Post Office De ment at Ottawa, which has afford facilities for the distribution through the mails of campaign literature and newspapers ia the interests of the Opposition, which it has denied to their opponents.One of the principal missepresentations circulated against the outgoing Guvernment is that with reference to the taxes.Though rendered by the extravagance of the Mercier Administration, its apologists have succeeded, to a very great extent, in fixing the responsibility for them upon those by whem they were courageously imposed.This subject is dealt with in an exceedingly intelligent manner in the course of the following editorial article, taken from the columns of the Toronto Mail aw! Kmpire: = \u201cMr.Flyon's {iovernment in Quebec suffered yesterday a complete rout.The Conservative majority bas diva red, and the new House consists of 53 Liberals, 19 Conservatives and one ind dent\u2014a majority of 33 Liberals over all.T hail been supposed for some time back that the parties wostd eum pretty close together in the final heat.Bat sn overwhelming disaster, even though the Liberals predicted large gains, as ia their custom, was mever seriously anticipated by either side.It is difficult to indicate all the circomstances which have produced the el There can be no question, however, that the tide which rose is June last was a potent influence.Nor can there be any doubt that the Fiyoa Administration has been punished for the sins of its Liberal predeces: sor.IL was itself an essentially cleno and honourable Government.But it had of necessity, in order to cover the defaleations and extravagances of the Liberals, to resort to that most unpopular of expehienta\u2014direct taxation.The people assucisted the taxes with ths Government which Juid them on, sad pot with the party which produced the conditions that iemdered their imposition imperative.While Mr.Fiynn had restored the financial equilibrium, and had relieved the public of a large measure of taxation, there remained the fear of further imposts.The Premier assured the electorate that alerm was groundless.While he took this positinn kis opponents pointed to their friendship for the Ottawa powers, aod indicated that the Certain way (co esospe laxes was through a Liberal triomph, which would be followed by ial concessions from she Federal chest, concessicns which Mr.Flynn could not possibly secure.The victory was thus ic & measure purchased with the promise that Federal mney should be devoted to the relief of the Province, or, to put the thing plainly, 10 the liquidation of the liabilities which the excesses, and, indeed, tha thefts, of the Mercier Gove crmment had produced.Colour was given to the Opposition pledges by the perticipa- tion of the Federal Ministers in the struggle.Iorael Tarte, Sir Henri Joly, Mr.Fitzpatrick and Mr.Fisher engineered the election for Me.Marchand, and openly advocated hie cause.Of course these Ministers were especially netive because, uoder the new system of Proviscisl and Federal alliaocez, the Prviocial party renders election service in time of need in return for the influence which the Federal er exerts om its beha'l.Mr.Flyon, while defeated, has experienced an hosourable reverse\u2014a reverse of which he has wo need 10 be ashamed.He governed the Province honestly and well, and he passes into itiom with not a shadow upon his name, but, om the contrary, respected amd honoured by all thooghtful citizens.The re.eult is vot deplorable for Mr.Flynn or for the Conservative party.It is deplorable, however, for Quebec, and for the Dominios.Quebec restores the old faction uuder à ent leader ; and while the Province perilled becanse of the fionncial ;possibiliti which this action presents to men who were not too hooest in the past, the Dominion is equally endaugered, vecing that the old wWrongs, and Dew ones as well, may, owing to the terms of the oom) between the Federal and Loeal Liberals, be visited upon us sll.\u201d AUSTRALIAN MILITARY DEFENCE.The appearance of Australian trcops in the Royal procession on the vecasion vf the Diamond Jubilee will not only be an unique spectacle, but will also illustrate the readinezs with which the colonists are prepared to assist in defending their shores agaiuat hostile attack.New South Wales was garrisoned by British troops from its foundation in 1788 until 1870, when they were withdrawn.In the following year colonial regulars were raised, and consisted uf one battery of artillery and two companies of infantry ; the latter were disbanded in 1872.In 1876 the artillery was increased by a second, in 1877 by a third, and in 1890 bya fourth (depot) battery.It now consists of one field battery, fully equipped with guns and horses, and three garrison batteries.Men between the ages of 18 and 40 are enlisted for five years, and may rc-engage for two or five years.A suuner's pay is 2s.3d.per diem, in addition to free rations cf bread, meat, and groceries, free kit on joining, wnifurm, burrack accommodation, fuel and light, and medical attosdauce.Special rates of working py are given, as also increased rate of pay.on re-engagement, Rewsrds are given for good conduct, as in the Imperial service, but no pensions.Each non- commissioned officer, trumpeter, and guu- ner, on re-entering for a further period of five years, is allowed £2 to supply deficiencies in kit.The standard height has been reduced to 5ft.8in.There is alsua corps of permanent sub-warine miners, receiving 4a.per day.Members of the permanent force before being permitted tom ry must have served three years, been of good character for two years, and have £10 in the mavingsf bank.The tirst volunteer force was enrolled in Sydney in 1854, and consisted of one battery of artillery, one troop uf cavalry, and mix companies of infantry, numbering between was enrolled, consisting in the first instance of two batteries of artillery in Sydney and one battery in Newcsstle ; one troop of mounted rifles, and fourteen companies of rifles in Sydney and suburbs, and six companies of rifles in the country districts, numbering 1,696 of all ranks.The mounted rifles ceased to exist in 1862, hat in 1867 four batteries of artillery were raised in Sydney, and the several compi- nies of Sydney and suburban rifles were reorganized and formed into two regiments.Towards the cluse of 1867 the Legislature passed an Act of Parliament, which authorised the issue of grants of land, as part payment, to all such volantecrs as served continuously and efficiently for a period of five years.In 1874, however, it was deemed expedient to discontinue these francs.During the period of their enrrency the annual numerical strensth of the volunteer furce had been raised to 2.484 of all ranks.At the suggestion of Sir W.JEkvois and Major-General Richarbson, C.B., the volunteer furces wore again Te-organized in 1878.Except in the reserve service, where the maximum axe has been fixed at 45 years, voluntcers can only be enrolled between the ages of 18 and 40, subject in every instance to a standard examination as regards height, chest measurement, sight, and general physique.The annual training of the FE tially-paid force consists of nine days continuously in camp, snd three detached whole days ; in addition there are 13 half- days for cavalry ; eight half-days and 20 night drills for artillery, including shot practice ; fourteen half-days and 13 night drills for engincers (ticld companies); 11 half-days and 11 wight drills for submarine miners ; 13 half days for mounted rifles ; 13 half-days with course of mys ketry for infantry ; 18 half-days Tor medical staff corps; sme for army service corps.Duration of parades : \u2014Whede day, six hours ; half-day, two hoors ; night drill, one hour, except for submarine miners, which is two hours.Cavalry and mounted rifles attend a course of 1musketry.annually in addition.Fach corp is inspected annually at one of the daylight parades.(Mficers and non-commissioned officers also attend c'asses of justruction apart from the above.Pay is granted to all ranks according to scale :\u2014Gunner, sapper, or private, 8s.a day for continuous training, 84.for each detuched day, 4s.for half day, and 1s.for each mght parade, 124.for course of musketry, with a bonus of £1 124 at the end of the year if he qualities as an efficient, and, in case of the engineers, for extra proficiency.À cadet force has been established in connection with the ublic school system, which will practically fave the effect of training the greater portion of the rising male population to the use of arms.These cadets were, in 184, affiliated to existing partially-paid regiments and corps, and came under the Major-General commanding.With the advent of Major-General Hutton, A.D.C., to the command of the forces, several changes, having for their object increased efficiency, combined with economy, were effected.The head-quarters staff was reorganized, and the military secretary's department placed under the direct supervision of the Major-General commanding The cavalry and mounted rifles were formed into a mounted brigade, and the cavalry into mguadrons instead of troops and districts combined \u2014 the mounted rifles (changed from mounted infantry) into companies with combined districts, and squadrons and compavies further divided into half squadrons and half-companies.The name New South Wales Cavalry Regiment was altered to New South Wales Lancers.The artillery was divided into three divisions, namely \u2014DBrigade division field artillery, three batteries (ume permanent and two partilly paid) ; 1st garrison division, three companies (permanent) ; 2nd garrison division, four companies (partially paid) ; the term company being adopted for garrison artillery.The en- gincers and aub-marine mivers (permanent and partially paid) were amalgamated under the title of Corps of Engineers, then distributed into four companies\u2014\u2014twc field companies, one sub-marine mining company (permanent and partially paid), one electric company.The reserve rifle enmpanies were dishanded at the end of 1892, but they have with few exceptions, reformed into civilian nifle clubs, At the end of 1895 the permanent troops, including the head quarters staff, numbered 628 ; the partially paid troops, 4,1 ; volunteers, (including a regiment of Scottish rifles), 171 ; and 20 chaplains and medical officers, forming a total of 5,019, to which may be added about 2,000 members of rifle clubs, bringing the number up to 7,000, THE BRIDGE AND THE INTER.COLONIAL RAILWAY.It will be remembered that the Quebec Board of Trade, soe time ago, addressed a memorial to the (invernment at Ottawa, protesting inst the extension of the Intercolonial Foilway to Montreal.Having apparently ascertained that the Government is bound to persist in its determination, the Board has again addre-sed the Premier, this time for the purpose of urging that if the extension becomes an accomplished fact, the rond should nt least be extended in the first place to the city of Quebec, na originally intended, In order to make Quebec x western terminus of the line as well as Montreal, it will be necessary to bridge the St.Lawrence here, and this work should either be effected by the Guvernment or should be largely assisted by it.We are therefore in thorough accord with the communication forwarded by the Board to Ottawa, and trust that it will produce the desired effect.Its demand is quite moderate and fair and is supported by the soundest of reasoning, as our readers will see for themselves.The letter is as follows :\u2014 Quesxc Boarp or TRane, Quebec, May 14th, 1897.The Hon.Wilfrid Laurier, Prime Minister, Ottawa, Sre,\u2014The Council of the Quebec Board of Trade respectfully submits, with reference to its memorial of the 27th March Iast, praying that the question of the extension of the Intercolunial Railway to Montreal may be deferred until next session of Parliament, for the several reasons therein set forth :\u2014That, if the Governmeut has quite decided upon such exteu- sion, the Council would respectfully request that the following couditions may be attached thereto, in the interest of the city and district of Quebec, which has always expected, since Confederation, that Quebec would be the western terminus of this railway, namely :\u20141.That the Government will build, or assist in such a manner as will ensure its immediate construction, a bridge over the River St.Lawrence at or near Quebec, together with a connecting line into the city, and a union terminal station in Quebec, to be used jointly by the Interconial Railway.Canadian Pacific, Grand Trunk, Quebec Central, and other railways.2.That upon the enmpletion of this bridge and terminal facilities in the city, ashare of the Interculunial traffic way be directed to Quebec, by making this city the terminal point of certain of the Intorcolunial trains from the east, thus making two western termini for the railway, at Quebec and Montreal, in the same manner as St.John and Halifax are its eastern termini.3.That the section between Quebec and Montreal may be treated as a distinct division of the Intercolonial, in the same way as that between Moncton and St.John, and that a good train service be put un between Montreal and Quetec, which will make use of the Quebec bridge.4.That the workshops and car shops for the use of the mileage of the railway in the Province of Queber may be built and maintained ia this city.It is à well established fact that a connection with a large city is most valuable as u source of traffic to any railway, and this Board is of opinion that if the Intercolonisl trains ran into and out of Quebec, the railway would derive additional trafic which would far more than pay the interest upon the capital necessary to build these connections.If the Government have any doubts upon this point, it is respectfully suggested that the question be referred to a rd vf Engineers aud Railway Managers for report.A connection at Quebec would give the Intercolonial the benetit of the traffic of the Canadian Pacific, the Parry Sound, and other north shore roads, 30U and 400, but practically ceased to exist! which will be very large.in 1856.Iu 1860 a second volunteer force city oue of tho termini of the Intereu- Making this lonial would be a powerful factor in sectr- ing capital for the proposed bridse at Quebec, and wonld greatly increase the value of the docks at Quebes, in which some three millions of dollars rf Govern ment money have been invested.The Council earnestly hopes that the Govern: ment will take the above suggestions int ; favorable consideration.I have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedient servant.N.LeVasseun, Secretary Quetwe Board of Tradeev \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 JUBILEE CELEBRATION IN QUEBEC.Tt lias been already announced in these columns that the Finance Committee of the City Corporation has voted 82,500 towards the arfebeation here, on the 22nd June, of the Quees\u2019s Diamond Jubilee, In the morning of that day there will he held the inauguration of the Victoria Park, to which Her Majesty has been good enough to allow her own name to be given upon the request of His Worship the Mayor, Should the weather prove Grand Ma-s will be performed in the open air.In the afternoon there will be sports of al} kinda.At night there will bean illumination of the city and of the park with fireworks, etc.A loyal address will no doubt be also forwarded by the Council on behalf of the citizens.So much fur the civic part of the show, Tt would be interesting now to know what may be looked for from the military authorities and what the School Boards intend to do for the children.A military review, either upon the Esplanade or the Plains of Abraham, at an hour that would not interfere with the park inauguration, would seem to be quite appropriate: and profably the school children of the city minht be miansed at the same time and place and join in singing the National Anthem.accompanied by the presentation of small flags or something of that kind.THe occasion might also be marked by the commencement of the achool vacation on that date.We look to the young snd live element of our School Boards to take action in the matter.Already the Levis School Board has set us an excellent example.As our Roman Catholic friends are leading in the way of « special thanksgiving Mass for the 22nd, it would also be interesting to know if there iv any intention of having a joint Protestant thanksgiving service, as for instance in the English Cathedral.Whatever is to be done or proposed to be dune by any class or budy of citizens ought to be made known at once, 8 that such arrangements may be made sll round as will effectually prevent any clashing in points of time, of the various items of the day's programme.THE CONVERSION OF THE {DEBT.The Government has the satisfaction of knoving that it has done good, substantial work for the Province, though the latter has failed to appreciate it.The Montreal Gazette states that the Bank of Montreal has completed the ficst operation in connection with the conversion of the Provincial debt, as authorized by legislation and passed at the last session of the Legislature.Subscriptions were asked the other day at the Bank of Montreal in London far £600,000, 3 per cent inscribed stock of the Province of Quebec, at the price of (#34 percent.The interest dates vf this first is-ue are the Ist of April and October.Enquiry yesterday clicited the fuct that the amount of £600,000 was fully subscribed.The following appeared in the prospectus :\u2014This stock is issued auder the authority of he Act of the Province of Quebec, 60 Victoria, chapter 2 (1897), for the conversion of the existing Jans of the Province.The stock will be exchanged for the debeatures of the existing loans, or, if sold, the proceeds will be used nolely for the redemption of the existing debentures, Under the authority of the above Act, a sinking fund is provided for the redemption of the increased debt caused by the conversion, in aldition to which the price of the Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa Æ Occidental Railway 137,600,000), und the grant of the Dominion of Canada to the Province for the construction of the said railway (£2,794, 000), which have been appropriated for the redemption of the loans of 1874, 1876 and 1878, are in proportion as these nana ma; be converted or redeemed, approprist fur the payment of the new issue.TRADE WITH AUSTRALIA.Frequent references have been made in the columns of the CaroxicLE to the importance of a development of Canadian trade withthe Australian Colonies.The sfficial returns relating to the external trade of New South Wales for 1816 state the imports at £20,561,000, against £15,- 192,000 for 1895, an incresse of £4,669, 000 being shown ; and the exports at £23,« 010,000, against £21,934,000, the increase in this instance being £1,076,000.The totals include gold, the movements in which affect other Colunies rather than New South Wales uself.Deducting, therefore, imports and exports of gold, the tals of merchandise are as follows :\u2014 Imports, 1845, £13,926,000; 1898, £18,.079,000 ; increase, £4,153.000.Exports : 1895, £18,789,000 ; 186, £19,123,000 ; increase, £334,000.The Colony, in fact, exported more than it imported by £4,- 843,000 in 1895, and by £1.044,000 in 1806.The trade between New South Wales and the other Australanian Colonies in steadily increasing, the total New South Wales imports amounting to £94,659,000 in 1896, against £7.321,000 in 1895, an increase of £2,238,000 : and the total exports amounting to £8,374,000, agaiost £7,690,000, the increase being £784,000, This shows the intercolonial trade of New South Wales to have been in an exceedingly prosperous condition in 1896.The Hon.F.G;.MagcHaxD, the coming Premier of the Province, is the only member of the Legislature who hes sat continuously in it since Confoderatiom.His Worship Mayor PARENT and the members of the City Council ate entitled to the gratitude of the citizens fur the continued vigilance and success with which they administer the city\u2019s financial affairs.The recent all-absnrbing political contest has prevanted us hitherto from paying editorial attention to the statement of the expenditure and revenue for the tiscil year endud on the 30h April last, which was submitted to the Council by the Mayor at its last meeting.The citizens have again the satisfaction of learning that the vutlay has heen well within ths appropriations and that there has been a surplus in the financial operations of the year.The appropriations for the year amounted to $614,055.75, while the actual expenditure was but $609,344.64 showing that the out- iay was within the amount appropriated by 84,711.11 aud that the surplus of receipts over expenditure was $8,999.53, Mayor PARENT seems to have succeeded, with the aid of his Council, in effacing altogether the era of deficits in our municipal finances and wo cungrstulate accordingly Seventy millica people know Hood's Sarsaperilla purifies Lhe blood, strengthens the system and gives good health.hh Yesterday there arrived at Havana from Spain the Jecres putting isto force the reforms which the Government decided on March 15 should be established in the Pru vinces of ¥s ua (lars, Matanzas, Havana and Pinar Del Rio.£7 Pais, the organ of the Autonomiste, and all other dailies, congratulate the Qu:-0 Regert on the event.Vesterday morning ao inmate of the Brockville Asyluu, named Sammers, committed suicide by hanging.For the D.amond Jubilee ceremonies the Qacen\u2019s serv :nts are to h completely new uniforme These ociforms are most coatly, being in ecar'et and gold.All extra servants «agaged for the month for the Queen's service are to hve uaiforms als, including the men who vil wait upon the Colonial Pre miers.ropitious à | J, WEDNESDAY, MAY Closing of the Military Sehool The military curse of inatraction which opeve:d on tie 26th of January last closed on Saturday morning.Toe achool, which wa carcied on at the Drill Hdl, was under the command of Lt -Col.Dacheznay, DOC.Major Benson, of the R.C.A., war appointed Adystant, and on bis sailiog for England on ;

Press GALLERY, HOUAR or Commons, Orrawa, May lîrn The loug expected report of Commissioners Meredith, Nizcn and Fraser, appointed to investigate into the affaire of the Kingston Penizentiary, was presented to Parl ent to-day.Itisa lemgthy document of ninety type-writtea pages.Sweeping changes are recommended in the report.The Commissioners say that the regulations area dead letter and that laxity snd disorder prevail everywhere in the institution, = Discipline is nil.The chief viicer, Warden Metcalle, a worthy and well-meaning man, is oot a die- ciplinarian sod makes no effective efforts to keep up the discipline: of the prison.He haa not a at, loval or judicious supporter or adviser ia the lleputy Warden, The Warden and his Deputy are held to be primarily responsible for the very low state of discipline now prevailing in the institution, and also for the marked inetliciency and neglect of duty of a large number of the subordinate officers, There is said to be & lack of harmony, constant quarrellings, cabelling and jealousy, and general neglect or disregard of the interests of the prieon.| These quarrels aod divisions amoog the staff lead to the existence of cliques.Then the fact of « number of the otlicers being closely connected by family ties leads to suspicion and dislike oo the par\u201d uf the other otlicers.1he disastrous consequences arwing from the laxity or absence of discipline are said to be legior, Keference is made to 8 number of esrapes of convicts io proof of this.Then allusion ie made to the pernicious practice of allowing lockers to the convicts in scveral of Lhe shops end elsewhere, in which the prisoaers can put away out of sight of the officers, under lock and key, enythiug they plesse, In these lockers all kinda of tools, files, sawe, kpives, etc.handy for a prisoner iv effecting his escape, wre hidden.Onjection ja made by the Comniissioners to the presence within the prison walls of the families of four ofticers, which is held to be onjectiouable on disciplinary grounder, The Commissioners copdemo the practice of sub.or.linate otlicers aad even convicts onmmu- vicating directly with the Inspector over the head of the Warden.The Inspector, however, had largely discouraged the tice ; subsequently, however, when the Inspector found the Warden held beck communications, he had informed the officers that they would be al liberty, when submitting reports to the Warden, to send copies to mim, A freiLful cause of trouble and difficulty in the administeation of the Penitentiary, the origin of some of the worst scandals affecting the highest vilicers of the institution, has been the practice of allowing officers to make purchases of goods from the l\u2019enitentiary shops or from the farm aod fuel snpphies and permitting them to have work dope for them in the shops, Similar evils bave resulted from the practice of allowing the officers to keep anima for their own use.Nuch o system leads ipevitably to a confusion be tween the property of the prison and the pri- veto property of the officers.The Commiesioners recommend that no «fficer be permitted to make purchases from the prison shope or to have work dooe for themselves in them.The Comniissioners think that the preseat :sulem of distinguishing three grades of prisoners in the penitentiary is unsatisfactory and costly.Ac regards clothing, they recommend berenîter that the same kind of cloth should be used for all convicts anid that the three grades should be distinguished by s.ripes upon the sleeves of the coat or jacket, The Commivaioners strongly coodema the manner is which visitors are allowed to see the prison.They think that atrict reguia- tions should be enforced whereby it will not be possible for » visitor to commuaicate with the prisoners.The Commissioners desl with the question of economical management sod suggeat à change ia the practice governing the purchase of sopplies.They say that large purchases of goods have been made from time to time that were either not required at all or were greatly in excess of all reasonable requirements.Evidences of waste in the use of food supplies came dicectiy under the observation Pure Com missioners.The Commissioners condemn the chief trade instructor end suggest that when the prison in put under competent control it 1 be one of the firat duties of Dre executive to consi-ler the question of the fitness of the chief trade instructor.It im pointed out that numerous coatly instruments have disappeared from the engineer's depar:- meat, illustrating the flagrant laxity of his mansgement.e manner of disposing of discatded prison property is condemned.The sewage works in connection with the priecn are desrréhed av badly planed, improperly constructed, fsuliily equipped, in.etfictent Jn operation, ext ent to main- taia and revolting to attend.The engineer is Do: responsible for the design of the pre- eent system, but he 1e not blamelres as regards its equipment in operation.Io desling with the water supply tor prison purposes, tuere np- pears to have been the grossest incompetency 0a the part of the engineer, The heating system is said 10 be operated without regard to the favorable conditions which exit to secure ecouomy in expenditure.The labor of convicts is not directed with the forethought, judgment and precision necessary to secure the beet resulis.Tue method o posiog of the products of prison labor is steongly condemoed.The prison ferm is held to be badly menage i aod the recommeuda- tion is made to dispose of it, thereby con- tragtiog the tield of disciplinary supecvision, The prison iuilustries are held not to be well selected or well arranged to secure Lhe best results, The tsjlor shop is over supplied with oonvicte for the work done Tu coût of ibie department is escemive, The hinder twine factory is likewise over supplied with coavicte, The Commissioners then make à comparison of the per rasta cost for m tenance in the Penitentiary and at the Cen tral Prisve, Toronto.The average for the five years showing for the Central Prison 172 per head sad al Kingston $219.No acoouut has been taken of the earnings of the prisoners in the above statement.The building occupied as a criminal lusatic saylum is strongly condemned and suggestions are made whereby lots of the poor unfortuoates can be improved.Reference is made Lo the fact that fn connection with the book-keeping at the prisom there were documents missing and papers destroyed.Many of the officers evinced » great unwillingness to give evidence.The Commimiouera make reflections upon ex-Warden Lavelle and say that it was clearly proved, although not eo reported, thet ns Warden he was freely supplied wich prison supplics and (arm produce, to none of which be had any legal right.Referring epe- cially to the present Warden, the Commis siopers say that their relati h him during their protracted inves ion had been most friendly sod that he afforded every facility to them to conduct their enquiry.For the important pusition of Warden they are of opinion he possesses some valuable qualifications, They believe him to be à mau of kind and amiable dieposition, z-al to promote the interests of the but they say he ia neither a di nor n man of business, nor does he the power of commanding men, They feel that it would be in the public interest and in the interest of the prison if were slowed to retire.The Deputy Warden, William Sullivan, is strongly condemned.Several specific cases of carelessness and negligence oo his part led to the escape of convicts, suggest that he also should be allowed to retire.The Commissioners think also that a chavge in the office of the prison surgeon is desicable and recommend Dr.Strange\u2019s retirement and a younger and more energetic officer appoioted in his place.James Deviin, the prison engineer, the Commissioners say, has received many gifts from contractors aod middlemen and the) characterize his conduct as repeatedly dishonest.Moreover, he has beer, in constant conflict with both fellow offiers end convicta When asked by tha Con.missioners to hand them his letter book he did ao, but with several pages tors out, and these pages the Commissiouers have not been able tw procure, They recommend his dismissal from the service.The aturekeeper, Patrick O'Donuell, ina been in the service of the Penitentiary for 39 years, The Commis sivoers find several ivstunces where he has reoeived pecuniury recognition from lirma.They recomma>nii that he t lowed Lo reti The assistant

recommendations include the following :\u2014In order to secure the services of a competent man as Warden, the remuneration shoul oot be less than 83,000 per annum, with residence, unfurnished.The prisoc regulations should Le thorvughly revised and the duties of each officer defined.cflicer of the prison to purchase any articles from the prison stores or to keep animals on the prison premises,
