Spencer enormously increased the navy, and he is divided against Sir William Veruon Harcourt, for the latter attended the banquet given to the Sirdar and joined in the tribute to the civilizing result of the campaign.Indeed, John Morley himself is on record se an expansionist, for in November, 1806, he said at Glasgow, \u2018I am for à aafe England, a strong England, a just England, a right-doing England, and the bigger the better.\u2019 MR.MORLEY'S POSITION.When he and Harcourt resigned, their letters made no allusion to imperialism as the cause.Now he xays he retires from the Liberal councils because the Liberal party is going over to jingoism.That in because they have backed up a declars- tion for which he shared the responsibility.The Liberals resent his applying to th: Mr.Gladstone's denunciation of Beacons- field twenty years agu, and the \u2018Speaker,\u2019 the leading Liberal weekly, describes his speech as & monstrous indictment, end as trumpery of a ridiculous charge.But he has only ruffled the surface, for his attack rests upon no basis whatever, and when he pathetically paints the bloodthirsty baggaras slain at Omdurman \u2014the survivors of whom cut the throats of their wives and children before bolting, leaving warm, reeking corpses in the houses\u2014as the breadwinners and protec- tore of their little homes in the Soudan, his denunciations are naturally received with s smile.1 do not believe he will even make the stand in the House of Commons for his| ;, own views.As often before in his career, he is the soldier who honestly complains that the whole regiment is out of step.PROTECTORATE OVER EGYPT.Lord Salisbury is accomplishing piece- mea! that protectorate over Egypt which he recently refused to assert at one blow.The Soudan is now formally placed under the control of England and Egypt, other nations and the Sultan's suzerainty being quite ignored.It should be noted that the new proclamation includes all territories previously held by Egypt That is also the entire Baar-el-Ghazel, in which France still has seven military posts, some of which she has up to now hoped to retain as the result of negotiations.It in asserted in Paris that M.Constants, the new French ambassador to Constantinople, has orders to try to induce the Sultan to raise the whole question of the British occupation of Egypt with the promise of French support.But here is seen the significance of the policy of \u2018the open door,\u2019 for no trading nation is likely to join in an attempt to drive out Enz- land, who throws the Boudan freely open to all trade, in order to replace her by a nation which would immedistely close it hy a prohibitive tariff to all except herself.German commercial travellers are already packing their gripracks for Khartoum, and the German Government will put its blind eye to the telescope when ita attention is called to the Sultan's ical rights, SUSPENSE IN FRANCE.The week bas in France with nothing beyond those mutus) recriminations which now conatitute the daily resding of the French public.M.Jules Guérin Yesterday gave the following eo- enlled synthesis of public feeling *\u2014\u2018People discourse freely and more often now than ever about a coup d'etat which appears inevitable.Nobody knows who will accomplish it, nor in whose favor it will be brought about.That which fs known and very well known, indeed, is that the present situation esnnot ocn- tnoe much longer.The people are tired The opinion is growing that the report of acquit Dreyfus, which is à certainty, but will contain other revelations of & most painful character.Hence the (rantic efforts now being made to postpone the verdict by handing over the whole ques- | tion to à coroplete Cour de Cassation in- atesd of the Criminal Chamber only, Moanwlule, several battalions have been ordered to strengthen the garrisons at Bi- zorta and others points on the North African coast, 2,000 voluntcers having been enrolled.I learn, moreover, that a considerable force is about to be mnt from Senegal in view of the operations of & strong British expedition rear the Hinterland of Sierra Leone, alsd that the foreign legion is to be increased by two regiments of three battalions, a total strength of 6,000.A rumor reaches me that a special attempt will be made to enlist Irishmen in this force.As an example of the utter uncertainty that prevails everywhere in Furope with regard to French affairs I may point out that to.day\u2019s \u2018 Daily Chronicle\u2019 contains one telegram from its correspondent in Paris alleging that the British Ambaasa.dor there is in negotiation with M.Del cassé, and has so far arranged all matters in the dispute between England ard France that only a few details of mutual compensation remain unsettled, and another telegram from its Berlin corres pondent stating the general impression there is that the relations between Eng: land and France are so strained that the Kaiser's long visit to the British Ambas sador was to inquire the exact position of affairs, THE SAMOAN QUESTION.The Samoan question attracts little important comment here hecause the main lines of the difficulty are clearly uuder- stood.It has boen known for « long time that the Berlin act of 1889 contains no elements of finality.Germany would £0 a long way to secure possemsion of any part of Samoa, but not so far as to em- \"broil herself with either America or Eng- yJand.Trouble was known to be inevita- {bie as soon &s Matasia was allowed to return from banishment, and it is pointed out that although the promise wrested from him to refrain from any share in Samoan politics was due to Germany, it is now Germany that poses ns his supporter, and therefore as à defender of native rights under the Berlin act.The question is graver than ever before because the prospect of zn inter-oceanic cana! adds enormously to the etrategical importance of Samoa, particularly of Pa- go-Pago, which has the best harbor in the whole Pacific.Publie wpinion entre ly supports the captain of Her Majesty's ship * Porpoise\u2019 in the action he has taken, and the incident illustrates the advantage of the Anglo-American entente, no anxiety whatever being felt, since it is taken for granted that the representatives of the two countrice will act in concert.Therefore, the interests of both will be safeguarded without the slightest risk nf complications.GREAT STRIKE IMMINENT.I informed you last week of the creation of a federation of employers, including the greatest firms in all branches of industry, with the intention to Sight the intolerable and growing demands of the trade unions.Two of the strongest and mast aggressive unions are the Toiler Makers\u2019 and the Plasterers\u2019.The latter as apparently decided to bring a conflict upon iteelf.During the past year the building trade enjoyed remarkable Drosperity, every man connected with it being in full employ at high wages.This state of affaire has led the plasterers ate) LA step to increase their demands to the point which finally compels the employers to fight, It may interest both the employers and the employed in the United States to learn the causes which, unless the men retract their demands, will have brought another great industrial struggle upon this country.Recently an employer decided to construct certain partitions of plester blocks.Both the plasterers and the bricklayers claimed that this work rightly belonged to them.Both their unions informed the employer that whichever men he employed, the other would strike.He offered to arbitrate, but the offer was refused.Thereupon he closed his works while the unions settled the matter.As they failed to do so, he gave the job to the plasterers.Whereupon the bricklayers struck and for nine months he could not get a brick laid, Then the bricklayers gave way.Again the bricklayers struck because one good workman was laying more bricks than the union permitted.Union rules pow allow 8 man to lay only four hundred bricks daily, whereas the employers state that ten years ago a thousand daily was the rate.The union publishes regularly a blacklist of employers for whom sll their men are forbidden to work.If a unionist assists to procure work for a non.unionist he is fine five shillings for the first offence and ten shillings afterward.In one instance the council of a union issued instructions that on no account must the men accept the introduction of the worde \u2018skilled,\u2019 \u2018superior,\u2019 inferior,\u2019 ot 'non-unionist\u2019 into the rules agreed upon with their employers.STRENGTH OF ONE TRADE UNION.So powerful bas the Plasterers\u2019 Union become that it positively fines employers who infringe the trade union rules.For example, the Coventry Branch reported: \u201cWe bave withdrawn our members from the firm of C.Gray Hall owing to the terers\u2019 Union, moreover, limits the number of apprentices to one spprentice to seven workmen.The immediate couse of the pending struggle is Liat on the premises of & firm of London builders named Ifiggs & Hill a delegate of the union called and gave notice to the fore: men that unless they joined the union by & certain date all the employees of that firm would be called out, The foremen were previously members of the union and eveu if they rejoined it now, they would not be admitted to the union deliberu- tions.The foremen refused, and every plasterer was called out by the union, and thus the present situation has been precipitated.The plasterers\u2019 wages have never been so high, probably averaging now fifty-five cents an hour, while many men who have struck in obedience to the vnion orders are skilled workmen who have served the rame firm twenty years and are earning from fifteen to twenty dollars a weck in a country where the cout of living in much leas than in the United States.Tie infatuation of the men may be further juilged from the fact that the whole weight of serious official trade unionism is against them, Joho Rurns, for example, having denounced their action, while even the Socialiat-La- bor paper condemns their policy as fool: irh and advises the union to order them back to work.I have dw.lt upon this matter at such length because the action of the plasterers is typical of several of the principal trades unions and because ail conditions are ripe for a struggle disastrous to Rrit- ish industry, whichever side wins.In view, however, of the huge proportions of the Employers\u2019 Federation described lent week.the ultimate issue is beyond doubt.The plasterers may give way and the struggle be averted on this particular issue, but sooner or later the great fight between capital and labor on these lines is certain, and, I imagine, such matter is of great interest in the United States, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 UNITED STATES EXPANSION A NEW YORK PROTEST \u2014 MR.HOURKE COCKRAN COVETF CANADA.New York, Jan.23\u2014A mass meeting of citizens was held in the Academy of Music last might, under the auspices of the Continental League for the purpose of protesting against the policy of Im- Perialism and entangling alliances with Europear powers.\u2019 The meeting was attended by an enormous crowd.Communications were read from ex-President Cleveland, Mr.William J.Bryan and Bishop Potter, regretting their inability to be present.The principal speakers were the Hon, James B.Eustis, former United State ambassador to France ; Mr, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and the Hon.W.Bourke Cockran.The latter speaker, in the course of his speech, said: \u2018I confess I am in favor of expansion if it is meant in the right direction.In this case everything depends on what is meant by the right direction.If we want expansion, why here to the north of us lies a country which is a natural part of us.Why not annex Canada?I'd be delighted to see that line of custom houses beyond our border blown into the great lakes, and our line of territory to the north of us extended to Baflin\u2019s Bay.Deeply as 1 desire annexation with Canada I would not have it by force of arm: The histories of Alsace and Lorraine and England's trest- ment of Ireland but too well illustrate the foolishness of annexation by force and coercion.Now, if England likes us as she claims she does, let her convince Canadians that their true destiny is with vs.\u2014\u2014\u2014 SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES.Madrid, Jan.23.\u2014An official telegram from Manilla states that the insurgents have agreed to surrender the Spanish civil prisoners held by them.The military prisoners will be surrendered afterwards.The despatch adds that the situation at lsilo is unchanged.Labuan, Islands of Labuan, British Borneo, Jan.23.\u2014The steamer \u2018Labuan,\u2019 Captain Penort, which has just returned from the Island of Palawan in the southwestern portion of the Philippines, re porta that the Spanish Governor of the island and & number of Spanish officers were murdered by the natives while issuing from church.The natives then re turned to the\u2019 bille, taking the women and children and some men as prisoners.AS gunboat and a mail-bost called and left again.Captain Penort interviewed the natives and brought away the governor's wife, the other women and children, and twelve soldiers, all of whom are now safe at Sandakan, British Borneo.DROP LETTER RATES.Toronto, Jan.23\u2014The Hon.Mr.Mu- lock, Postmaster-General, has written the Mayor that he will give the proposal for onecent letter rate in the city his best consideration, It will be remembered Ald.Bheppard moved for this st the inaugural meeting of the council and the resolution was forwarded to Mr.Mu Lrieklayers doing the plastering, and had look Settlement of Disputes Displeasing to the Chauvinists.| London, Jan.22\u2014The Paria cor respondent of the \u2018Chronicle\u2019 says that the virtual adjustment of the disputes - between France ard Great Britain\u2019 through uegotistions upon lines laid down by Nir Edmund Monson, the Brit: ish Ambuseador, in bis interview with M.Delcnssé, Minister of Foreign Affaire, f to satisfy the Chauviniste.; » \u2018Echo de Paris\u2019 quotes Col.Guer- in, parliumentary reporter of the army commission, aa expressing the belief that war between France and Great Britain | within a short time is inevitable, It) was this feeling, be says, that influenced | the meusures voted in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday for the defence oi Algiers and Tunis.The \u2018Echo de Paris\u2019 also says that the! audience granted to the Count de; Montebello, French Ambassador to Rus | sia, by the Czar, was intended to re-! assure France against sn Anglo-German attack or ailiance.Paris, Jan.22\u2014M.Pelletan, reporter of the French budget, made two pessi- niistic speeches last week.In the first he declared that the navy was the most petrified department in the service, It took five years to build an ironclad, while the mazimum was only three.He even had the courage to hint that corruption was rampant in the army.He also attacked the colonial system, declaring that I'rance spent $14,000,000 annually on her colonies and obtained nothing except an increase in exports with & profit of, perhaps, $4,000,000.There was, in fact, no French colonization, at all.but only a military occupation.While the army costs $200,000,00, and the debt another $200,000,000, he entirely disbelieved in the wisdom of spending $16,000,000, for the pleasure of ruling foreign populations.The speech was made to the Chamber of Deputies, which approved, applauded, and went on as before, no party daring to face t army, the colonial party, and the Cha viniste.\u201d London, Jan.22\u2014The Paris eorres- pondent of the \u2018Central News,\u2019 says there is renson to believe that My Cambon, French Ambassador to t Britain, and M.Delcassé, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, were aware ol the substance of the Anglo-Egyptian Soudan convention, some days previous to its publication.M.Cambon, the despatch says, has intimated to Lord Salisbury that France considers the agreement a violation in some respects of the rights of France, and the signatory powers represented in former agreements, but bis protest is not of a nature which will prevent the continugnce of conciliatory negotiations.THE FRENCH SHORE DISPUTE, Paris, Jan.22.\u2014Delegates from Brittany and Normandy, are now in Paris, bothering the more than usually dis tracted Foreign Minister about the French shore question.In this matter the Dretons regard the rest of France as foreigners, engaged in a shameful con- epiracy against them.The abrogation of the French treaty rights in Newfoundland would, it is asserted, ruin the Breton families, and any compensation given by Great Britain would be diverted into channels away from the real sufferers.The Bretons want the compensation to take the attractive, tangible ferm of hard cash, which can be comfortably divided among the Breton fisher folk.3.Radiguet, a Breton, now in Paris, hae conceived the idea of appealing to the Celtic race all over the world in behalf of the unhappy Celts in North-western France.le denounces Ambassador Cambon as the, \u2018Agent of Latin decay, and the enemy of the Celtic race,\u2019 and suggests that if there is to be a deal over the French shore business it should be made after a discussion between the Tiritish Government and a delegation of elected bodies of Brittany and Normandy, \u2018in order to prevent the official thieves of Paris from having an opportunity of robbing our poor population of the indemnity which may be granted them.\u2019 London, Jan.23.\u2014The \u2018Times,\u2019 discussing editorially Anglo-French relations, hints that France will be offered concessions in Madagascar as a wvet-off to the French shore rights in Newfoundland.\u2014_ «IN HIS STEPS.® MULTITUDES THRONG TO HEAR THE REV.CHARLES M.SHELDON AT TORONTO.Toronto, Jan.23.\u2014The visit of the Rev.Charles M.Sheldon, the famous author of \u2018In His Steps,\u2019 has vastly exceeded the highest expectations.Yesterday morning the spacious Bond Street Church was thronged to suffucation, the open doorways were jammed with people standing throughout the service, and police assis tance had to be secured to get fainting persona out of the church.His topic was \u2018Jesus, the Standard of Conduct\u2019 The special lesson Mr.Sheldon enforced modern conditions as they did then.Vf Jerus were here now, ssid Mr.Sheldon, he would say precisely the sme to the people as he did to the evil-doers and unfaithful two thousand years ago.Yesterday afternoon the Rev.Mr.Shel.* don made an impressive address at the Pavilion under the auspices of the Cans- dian Temiperance league, the building proving quite inadequate for the audience which wished to hear him.Last night an enormous number were unable to obtain acess to Bond Btreet Church when he preached on the golden rule under the modern phrase \"Put yourself in the other fellow'# place\u2019 This afternoon Mr.Sheldon will conduct a conference au\u2018 this evening read from his unpublished story, the \u2018Miracle of Markham.\u2019 THE NICARAGUAN CANAL.HILL PASSES THE UNITED STATES IN AN AMENDED FORM.Washington, Jan.23.\u2014The Senate on Saturday passed the Nicaraguan canal Lill.A number of amendments were made and there were innumerable short speeches during the day.There vas, however, no oppontion to the vote and the roll call developed only six votes in opposition to the tinal passage.The Nicaraguan canal bill, as 1t passed, continues the name of the Maritime Canal Company.It provides for the is suance of 1,000,000 shares of stock of £100 each.The canal compsny is required to call in ali the stock issued except that held by the Nicaraguan and Costa Rican Governments.The company is also required to redeem and cancel ail bonds and scrip heretofore issued by the company, and to satisfy all cash liabilities.this requirement, the treasury warrants to the amount of $0,000,000 are author ized with a proviso to the effect that only #0 much of the amount shall be paid as shall be required te pay the usual cash value of the rights, privileges, franchises and property at the time of the rayment, the value to be determined by commis sioners to be appointed by the resident.This being donc, the Seerctary of the Treasury is authorized to autweribe for 925,000 shares of the company\u2019s stock for the government of the United States.The present members of the Loard of directors are then to resign and a Loard of seven is tc be appointed in their stead consisting of five on behalf of the United Btates, and one each on behalf of Nicaragua and Costa Rica.The directors on behalf of the United States are to be appointed by the President and confirmed hy the Senate.No two of thew are to be residents of any one state, and no person who has heretofore Leen juterest- ed in the canal company is to be appointed to this office.They are prohibited from being interested in contracts on the canal.Fach of the directors except the President is to receive a salary of $5,000 per year, and the President is to have $6,000.There is a provision againet declaring a dividend except upon the net earnings.The company is suthor- ized to contract for the completion of the canal within six years.The pav- ments are restricted to $20,000,000 annually.\u201cfor the use of the largest sea-yoing vessels at a cost not to exceed the estimate of the engineers, and not to exceed $118, 000,000.This amount is made a permanent appropriation for the work to be used as occasion may require.The bill gives the government a lien upon the property to secure the repayment of the rioneys advanced, and the President is empowered to declare forfeiture of the property to the United States without the necessity of judicial or other ascertainment.Thereafter full title is to rest in the government of the United States.The President 's authorized to suspend payments at any time.He is also authorized to secure any change in, or modification of the terms of the concession, either from the concessionaires or from Nicaragua and Costa Rica.In case of failure in such negotiations, the President is empowered to negotiate for another route across the Isthmus.He is further required to open negotiations for the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty or any other treaty found to be in existence and standing in the way of the construction of the canal.The neutrality of the canal is znzran- teed, hut the right to protectsit against the interruptions of business between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United Staten is reserved.London, Jan.23 \u2014The \u2018Daily News\u2019 editorially says to-day : \u2018The Clayton-Bul- wer treaty is a singular document, signed by o weak American administration in peculiar circumstances, and for Lord Salisbury to insist upon its unconditional olmervance now would be neither gracious nor wise.\u2014_\u2014 KING OSCAR.Rtockholm, Jun.23.\u2014Although the health of King Oscar continues to \u2018improve his physicians have ordered him to take à complete rest.Therefore His Ma- jerty bas entrusted the government provisionally to Crown Prince Gustaf, and was that Christ's teaching when os earth has gone to Saltoje-Baden.To enable the company to comply with The canal is to be large enough : Report Makes Some Serious Charges.London, Jan.22\u2014Ths official report in the Hooley bankruptcy case bas given equal surprise and satisfaction, for the public doubted whether the receiver would bave the courage to indulge in absolute plain spesking in the matter.His charge of fraud, if proved, renders Hoo- ley liable to two years\u2019 imprisonment with bard labor.Moreover, according to the bankruptcy law, the official re ceiver\u2019a report is in itaslf prima facie evidence of the statements therein.The only possible sequel in the com: mittal of Hooley for trial before a judge and jury, on the Beeston Pneumatic Tire deal indictment.In this case Hooley bought 20,000 shares of the stock of the concern.Un the same day the capital of the company was raised from £30,000 to £70,000 Ly the creation of 40,000 £1 shares.Hooley then made the startling offer to buy up the company on the basis of £8 a share, The directors made the offer public, but sent letters and telegrams to the share- \"holders urging them not to sell, on the ground that the company was doing an enormous business.The shares ree to ' £7.The offer was eventually refused, ;but during the excitement ITooley was i unloading his shares at the top price.A net profit was made of £39,501 by what | the receiver calls fraudulent rigging of ithe market, the allegation being that { Hooley and the directors were ceting in collusion.The receiver says that Messrs {Lawson and Bradshaw, directors, took i half the profit, and Hooley the remain.; der.He further charges that Hooley destroyed every trace of the transac « tion, including books and cheques.The report asserts that Hooley paid £511,000 on the \u2018 front page dressing\u2019 of | prospectuses of his cycle companies, and altogether expended £1,000,000 for pro- ! motion expenses.He paid £31,978 in os- i tentatious charity in the same twelve { months, in which he lost £200,000, The publie in now waiting to know how some nf his asnociates can be cnm- | pelled to disgorge their huge iliegal gains.| On the other hand, there is general sympathy with some of those whose names i have been mentioned during the bank- Tuptyy examination.Tord Winchelsea, \u2018for whose name it was alleged the in- troducer received several thousand pounds, died recently.His estate has just been proved to have a net value of nothing.Lord Warwick was mentioned in connection with one company.His recent difficulty probably had nothing to do with that; yet the fact that historic \u2018Warwick castle haa just had to shelter an unwelcome bailiff is indicative of the financial distress of its notable owner.There has been talk of an application | to parliament for a government enquiry i into Hooley\u2019s allegations, made last autumn.There is no byteriun Church, ForMto, was the first

It seems probable that current eati- mates of the epeet of birds\u2019 fi be modified.On Monday, a a number of carrier-pigeons were town from the Shetland lulande This is a great distance even on éndon, birds, the total length of the journey being 801% miles.The date being only a week after the longest day of the year, the birds had the advantage of daylight during their whole flight, und the winner reached the house of its owner, Mp, Clutterbuck, of Stanmore, in vight min utes under sixteen hours.They had been liberated at Lerwick, at 3.30 am.The official weather chart of the Meteorological Uthee gave, not for the frst time, information of the utmost value for estimating the conditions of wind wnder which the flight was made, Every Sorrow\u2019 from Kirkwall to London pointed due south.In other words, i had the wind behind ere them thr the journey.oughout The result is that, in what in very nearly an approach to à migration flight, 1 pigeons travelled \u201ca speed of 37 mil 1 hour.An interest ing correspondence in the \u2018Field, following the announcement of this fact, showed how widely observers differ on this most interesting question, but the recorde approach more nearly to the lower mato in each case in which accu bas been possible, and in anv case the surmises of the Inte Dr.tintke that migrating birds travelied oconsionally at specd reaching 180 miles an hour cannot be seriously defended.Yet such a good observer aa Mr.Frohawk, one of the beet painters of birds and animals, is convinced that a godwit can fiy at a speed of 130 miles per hour, and Sir Ralph 1'avne Gallwey reckons the flight of a teal as sometimes reaching 140 miles an hour.But it has been calculated that if the godwit were flying ot 150 miles an hour, it would have to overcome a resistance of air equal to a pressure of 112 pounds square foot, or considerably more than the force of a wirdred-nule Furricane.Other cortea- pondents give instances which leave little doubt that shore birds do travel at speed considerably above 50 miles an hour; but as regards the flight of the Pigeon, some experiments carried out by the proprietors af the \u2018Field, many years ago, leave little doubt that the speed shown in the Shetland flight fs normal.Twelve vecords with.the chronograph gave a highest speed to the blue rock,\u2019 pigenn of from 33 to 38 miles an hour.Pheasants made a record 38 miles an hour, and partridges, when well on the wing, of 32 miles.Audubon\u2019s notes are more interesting and probably nearer the truth.fle found in the crops of pigeons which he shot, some rice, which they could not heve gathered nearer than Carolina, about 3% miles from the place where they were shot.From the state of digestion in which he found the rice, he concluded that 1t had been six hours in the Lirds* crops, and that they must therefore have flown the distance at the speed of about a mile 8 minute, He also estimated that the eider-duck flies at the speed of nbout 45 miles an hour, and the wild duck at about 45 miles an heur in sustained flights.One obvious chence of error in his calculation of the speed of the pigeons is the posaibility that digestion may have been partly ar rested while the birds wers flying so long a distance.Another statement dealing with the frigate-bird depends on the assumption that it neither flies by night ner slecps on the water.If this is correct, the distances travelled by these ocean birds in & single day must amount to as much as 1,800 miles; for they have heen seen at a distance of 900 miles from any coast or island.liut no one can prove that they do not fly by night, and the effortless soaring of these ocean birds suggests that their power to remain on the wing is certain: ly not limited to a period of twelve hours.It seems contrary to ail reasonable conjecture that any bird should tuzke à daily flight of hundreds of miles from its roosting-place.But there are means available for discovering the real rate of \u2018light of the frigate-bird not less accurately than that of the carrier pigeon.Accorling to the Rev.8.Q.Whitmee, the frigate-birds are domesticated by the inhabitants of the Ellice Islands.In 1570 he saw numbers of them sitting about on perches erected for them near the beach.The natives catch the young birds, tie them hv the leg, and feed them till they become tame.Then they let them loose, when they regularly go nut to sea to obtain food rod come back to roost.Advantage was taken of this hv some of the mis sionaries to estahlich a \u2018pigeon conducted hy frignte-hirds, between the islands, and Mr.Whitmee himself saw more than «ne letter arrive in a quill attacked tn the wing of a frigate-bird.Here there in a perfect opportunity, ready-made, for determining the epred of the vol rame, one of the finest fliers among the whale nation of hirds.It is not likely that the natives of these js.lende, or rather islets, north of Fiji and cast of Saman,

Sir,\u2014In the pamphlet on \u201cWorship in the I'resbyterian Church in Canada,\u2019 the Puritans are represented ss having \u2018narrow scruples and à fanatical spirit\u201d It is true that they sought to turn from the broad way of sinful indulgence and will worship, so pleasing to tallen nature, and to walk in the narrow way of holiness marked out in God's word, All honor to them for their narrowness in { this sense.But why should they be characterized as fanatical ?1f we were led to believe that the author of a certain book was a fanatic, we would not set much value up- he lon that book, and would likely consider it 8 waste of time to read it.The l'uri- tans were the authors of the Westminster Standards, to which all our ministers and elders are required to subscribe.IJo some wish to make us believe that we are the dupes of fanatice, and that those standarde are not worthy of being read and studied, much less followed Eminent writers, English, French and Reotch, write in lauding the Puritans, Hume says: \u2018It was to this sect alone that the English owe the whole freedom of their constitution.\u2019 Taine writes: | \u201cThey founded England in spite of the corruption of the Stuarts.being \u2018manifested\u2019 in the mortal flesh of ; United States; at this day they are by the teacher and the taught.The truth | their descendants founding Australia of this is seen in that n man's faith is 'and colonizing the world, Carlyle adds: almost entirely the result of the accident | \u2018I'erhaps it was among the nobler and of parentage and country of birth.I conclude, therefore, that a good secular education is \u2018all that the state can provide,\u2019 and that Christian or other faiths which may be taught can only be inculcated in affiliated institutions, main- noblest human heroism this Puritanism of ours! While Puritanism did a magnificent work in the past, it is still greatly needed to meet and oppose with the glorious gospel of true liberty, the alarming tained and carried on by those who res- | growth of the blighting tyranny of Ri- pectively believe in them.In that case the truth of Christ, as taught and manifested in the lives of the teachers, would show itself possessed of ite Divine character as \u2018 Light'\u2014as that which mikes things manifest\u2014and such godly teachers would also be its living epistie known and read of ail men.1t is high time that believers in Christ everywhere recognized the fact that while man's efforts can produce \u2018Christendom\u2019 it requires God's direct power to produce \u201cChristinnity\u2019-the former being as wood, hay and stubble to the fire of God's holiness, and the latter as gold and silver, being the resultant effect of God's word having entered his mind and heart and become à Divine seed sown by almighty power, whereby the individual has been \u2018born again\u2019 into a new life, aad just ro the seed abides forever so will the life which it has produced.These results truly are not the effect of human energy and wisdom, but of God's workmanship, The apestie Peter was told by our Lord how it was that he was enabled to mee in Jesus, the Christ, the Son of the living God-fesh and blood had not reveal: ed it to him.It is just eo to-day, snd every true Christian is exactly the same product of Divine power in grace and mercy and in this fact the distinction Ietiween Christendom and Christianity is una.Fhall, then, earnest Christiane devote dre funds they hold in ti&st from our me Master to aid and encourage the en- mrging of \u2018Christendom\u2019 through à secu- Isr college, or shall they be applied to send forth God-inspired men and women into the Soudan as true witnesses for the livisg Cod\u2014leaving results with God.who declares that hia word shall not return to him void, but that it slways ae tomplishes the purpose for which he sends is.Forme of faith are enly matters to quarrel and fghi about and embitter every relation in life, being the mere tualism and Romanism.Many in England are getting awakened to this fact, and we in Canada need to be similarly aroused.At an evangelical conference held lately at Bradford Sir Jobn Kennaway, M.P., an influential layman of the Church of England, premded, and speaking on the subject of \u2018the pres ent crisis in the Church of England: ita gravity, its causes and its remedy,\u2019 mid, \u2018Services were being held in some of their churches which a Romanist could not distinguish from his own.Almost the whole of the Roman doctrine, only excepting the authority of the Pope, was preached in many pulpits.The English Church Union, which mustered between five and six thousand clerical supporters, told them that they wished union with Rome.The tide of sacerdotaliem had met with occasional checks, but it was still advancing so rapidly that thousands of churchmen were beginning to fear that soon there would be no foothold left in the Church for the loyal sons of the Reformation.Lady Winborne, writing in the \u2018Nineteenth Century,\u2019 for lest October, says: \u2018Ritualism, therefore, thus tolerated, has grown and developed unobserved into an enormous system, until we find to our surprise and alarm, that rot Ritualism but Romaniem is the danger that is threatening us.\u2019 In a ser mon of Farrar, published in the Montreal \u2018Witness\u2019 a few years ago, he mid that the extreme Rituslistic party in the Clurch of England have been doing their Lest during the past twenty years to Ro- manize the worship, the doctrine, the clergy, and the whole institution of that Church.At « recent meeting of the Baptist Uvion, in Britain, the president said: \u2014 \u2018With a spurious Romanism and an un- scriptural priestly arrogance abroad this land of such importanée to the future of the world, still needed leavening \u201cform gt godlimess,\u2019 but without ite living l .The the sturdy here Leaver.New \u2018estament ideals, simplicity worship snd ritual and the equality of all belier- ers as priests of God, needed reaffirm- my.Referring to these last statements the \u2018English Presbyterian\u2019 says: \u2014'Not cnee, nor twice, in our rude island story has this Puritan spirit been the enlva- tion of England; it is to that spirit working through the altered forms of our generation, that we must look for the salvation mnd true expansion of Britain in the future.It is not enough to dwell upon the triumphs of Puritanism and evangelical nonconformity in the past.The battle has to be fought and won to-day.\u2019 Yee, it has to be fought, not simply in Dritain\u2014fought against those who, generally despising men like the Puri tans, and rejecting God's word as the only rule of faith and practice\u2014yea, rejecting it in their professed solemn ap proaches to Ged, even, are advocating new dogmas and new modes of worship, for which they can give no scriptural support.Which ride of this battle shall we take?Shall we side with those who honor God, his word, and all his holy ordinances, or with those whose great aim is to aggrandize or please the cres- ture?« Our wisdom is surely to side with God no matter what power or influence may be on the other side.True prophets turn the hearts of the children to the fathers.Great heights in the church throw new lustre upon eminent saints who lived before them.The individual, church, or nation that desires to stand fast in the liberty of the gospel, and not to be led back into the bondage of Popery, should beware of men who lightly esteem or belittle these who courageously fought for, henorably won, and kindly transmitted to us such precious liberties &s the Puritans have done.A.MACKAY.Lucknow, Jan.10, 1800.\u2014 RITUALISTIC WAR.ITS RESULT IS SUMMARIZED BY THE \u2018TIMES.{London \u2018Times.\u2019) The important letter from Sir Wil- lism Harcourt which we published this morning sums up clearly and forcibly, and on the whole temperately, the pre ecnt result of the controversy which has been maintained for the past six months, in our columns end elsewhere, under the varying heads of 'Lawlessncss gy, \u2018Confession,\u2019 and such questions us fasting, communion, or the reservation of the sacrament.It has been, as he points out, a controversy between those who uphold the Protestant doctrine snd practice of the national Chureh, and by a \u2018Catholic revival\u2019 It has not been, as some have endeavored to persuade themmelves, & mere outbi of \u201cNo Popery' feeling, or of & narrow.minded prejudice against some of our most energetie clergy in their efforts to put more life into tha services of (he Church.Dislike of Roman Catholies, and of their religion, has been no more lof ita essence, than sporoval of Mr.{ in the Church,\u2019 \u2018Obedience to the Cler-; those who have sought to supplant them | THE JUCGMENT OF PARIS.Kensit and his methods.What has been denianded.to ure Sir William Harcoutl's words, is, \u2018that those who are nunisters of the Reformed Church of England shall conform to the conditions and obey the law on which it has been established and by which they \u2018bold their station and their emoluments\u2019 This, in a law-abiding country, and among a law-abiding people, is not an unreasonable demand.And what has really roused the laity of the Church of England from a slumber partly of indifference and ignorance, partly of im- prience to check evils which they saw and deplored, is not merely the Romish doctrines and practices illegally and de- tiantly upheld Ly the extreme wing of the ritualist party\u2014though these are bad enough\u2014but the conviction that these are the outcome of a spirit of lawless: ness on the part of the clergy, and of what Sir William calls \u201can extensive and growing plan of sacerdotal aggression,\u201d the real though partly veiled ob- jret of which is to undo the work of the Nefformation and assimilate the doctrines and practices of fhe Church of England ax nearly as may be to those of the Church of Rome.The fact that there exists serious mischief in this direction has been clearly established, not only by discussion in Parliament and in the press, but also, as Sir William points out, by the utterances and ad- misrions of the Ritualists themselves.And even those who would bave preferred to let things slide.have admitted that something must be dome.The Prime Minister has said as little an he cculd; but the leader of the House of Commons has felt obliged to speak out about the \u2018crisis,\u2019 which he was at first dirposed to put aside as imaginary.And, last but not least, the Episcopal Bench has been uroused to the necessity for dealing with matters of the existence of which the bishops must have been aware, but which, from a disposition to avoid friction, or from willingness to interfere with men whom ther knew to be devoted clergymen, they had too long overlooked.They have realized that (in Canon Gore's words), \u2018a state of lawlessness and chaos\u2019 exists, and that they mut deal with it.For this \u2018awakening of the Bishops\u2019 Sir William Harcourt is entitled to take some credit to himself.His vigorous and trenchant exposure of the lawlessness of some of the clergy and of the supineness of their ecclesiastical superiors has contri buted in ro slight degree towards the | awakening of that public opinion in 'which he rightly sees the only effective |inatrument for the reform of abuses, ec- ! elesiastioal or civil.And it must canse him lively ratisfaction to see one bishop after another grasping the nettle more firmly and finding, perhaps to their surprise and certainly to their relief, that it does not sting so much as they feared it would.Those bishops who, instead of trying to minimize the extent of ritual lawlessness, have had the courage to deal firmly with it have set a good example to their brethren, and bave Leen reward- od with a reasonable measure of success.The Bishop vf Bath and Wells, in putting down his foot upon the \u2018reservation of the sacrament,\u2019 and the Bishop of London, in demanding alterations in the services at so well known a centre of extreme doctrine as St.Albans, Holborn, have shown that they are not afraid of responsibility.And it must be admitted that the clergy thus far interfered with by Episcopal monitions have, with a few discreditable exceptions, shown themselves willing to obey an authority which they could not without the gravest incon: sistency repudiate.The vicar of St.Albans, indeed, qualifivs his submission by a somewhat arrogant appeal for prayers that the bishops may be brought to a better frame of mind; but the main point is that he recognizes their authority.And we are disposed to agree with Sir William Harcourt that this authority and the law upon which it rests are sufficient without fresh legislation.The bishops have power, if they will fearlessly use it: and the law as it stands is sufficient if it is properly employed by those whose duty it is to enforce it.That this fact is dawning upon the Episcopal Bench is, as we have said, largely due to Sir William Harcourt.But credit must also be given to the Archbishop of Canterbury for his wise and statesmanlike attitude; for his clear exposition of the law of the Church of England, and of the limits of ritual divergence permissible under it; and also for his weighty appeal to the conscience of men who et one of the most solemn moments of their life have made « solemn promise of canonical obedience to their bishops and to the law of the Church, not to set an example of faithlessness and dishonesty.The recent conference of Bishops at Lambeth has been private, and all that we know of its proceedings are its declarations as eet forth in the Archbishop of York's pastoral and summarized for us in Sir Wil- lism Tlarcourt\u2019s letter.We agree that they are on the whole satisfactory, and that, if loyally obeyed, they afford a solid basis for upholding the principles of the Reformed Church of England.The episcopal injunctions prohibit the introduction, at the individual caprice of the clergy, of services and ceremonies not clearly suthorired or sanctioned by the prayer-hnok.They condemn the \u2018sn- richment' of the office for the Holy Communion from the liturgies of earlier ages or of other branches of the Catholie Church, and the introduction of \u2018euper- atitious and extravagant acts of devotion\u2019 alien to the teaching of the Church and y Jauvart 24, 1899, enfeebling to the spiritual life of the worshippera They forbid the ceremo- nisl use of incense, \u2018asperging\u2019 of any kind, burning candles before pictures, and all reservation of the Holy Sacrement.They condemn the use of Roman terminology such as \u2018Mase\u2019 and \u2018Viati- cum\u2019 ; the practice of holding a commu nion without communicants ; the invocation of angels or mints or the Virgin Mary ; prayers for the dead, and the quirement of confession as a necessa: preparation for the Moly Communion, as \u2018distinetly contrary to the teaching of \u2018the Church of England.\u2019 It may still surprise some to learn that all this has been allowed to go on within the national Church, There is, however, no doubt of the fact, and, this being so, it is high time that those who are responsible for enforcing the law, which is #o audacious: ly set at naught, should act, and act firmly.We hope and believe that the hishops at last intend to do so.They have the power, and public opinion will support them in its exercise.Slishops cannot well, in these days, be punished, au Lord Ralishury seems have suggested, for not enforcing the law.Lord Salisbury himself would find difficult to do as the great Reformation statesman, William Cecil, did, hy making a clean aweep of hishopa wha resisted the establishment of the Church of England and the prayer-book an the hasis of the supremacy of the Crown snd the Acts of Uniformity.Rut a modern premier can strengthen the bench by hin recommen: dations to the sovereign in the choice of bishops, and he can at least throw the weight of his personal authority and the prestige of his high office inta the scale of those who desire to purify the national Church from unauthorized and misleading innovations.We trust that, under wise and firm administration, peace may be restored to the Church.\u201d mers [For the * Witness.\u2019 A WASSAIL.Here's a wasmil to our fathers\u2019 of the sen, Sons of Odin and the north\u2014the Vikings bold,\u2014 To the srms that swept the hull, To the hands that cleft the skull,\u2014 Raven's croak and battle-thunders rolledt Here's & wassail to our foemen of the deep !

unpleasant experience whilst hunting with the North Stafford Hounds.The meet was at Dorrington, near Woore, and dur- lin's horse put his foot in a hole as he was in the act of taking a stiflish fence, and a second later horse and rider went crash over and through the hedge into the next field.It was thought Mr.Chaplin was badly hurt, but such, happily, did not prove to be the case, although he was a good deal shaken.Mr.Chaplin has been peculiarly unfortunate in the hunting field.Just two years ago he was one of a new year\u2019s party invited to Trentham to meet the Prince and Princess of Walia.When riding with the Meynell Hounds on that occasion he was thrown from his horse, and so severely injured that he was laid up at Trenthamball (the Duke of Sutherland's residence) for two or three weeks.Mr.Chaplin is not a light weight, and fifty-eight years of age, so that a fall from « horse may be for him a serious matter.Elizabeth Walford, domestic scrvant, late in the mervice of Mr,

Christianity, his caustic criticism and intensely human portraiture of vital traits of character woven with dramatic story-telling power, have made his work the contention of critics, denominations and philosophers everywhere, Now condemned as a degrading realist, now exalted as a Christian idealist, he has stirred the thinking world.TOLSTOY'S HOME LIFE.Count Tolstoy's home at Yasnia, Pol.1ana, is a straggling two-story building with wide veranda stretching slong the front and sides.Jt has been stripped of all luxurious furnishings, only the mo- necessary articles being left to make the femily comfortable.The Count denics himself even this degree of comfort and occupies à bare cell-like apartment, de.{ached from the rest of the house, here he keeps his garden implements, and also the tools, and materials of the shoemak- ere craft, to which he devotes consider.able time in earning his livelihood.There are no servants about the household, More than one gnest has resigned his horse to a grey-haired hostler who aîter- {ward proved to be the host.Manual labor he believes to be enjoined by scrip- ure and a part of each day is spent in tilling his own or bis neighbor's field with the other men, or in work about the farm\u2014mending hedges, repairing roads, felling trees, or busied in other needful directions.Two of his daughters and a secretary decipher and arrange his writings, and the whole family cheerfully concur so far as possible in his plans.Much of the Count\u2019s time is devoted to receiving the visits of bin peasant neighbors, who come to him for advice upcn every conceivable subject, and whom he meets upon common ground as men and brothers.The entire Christian system is expressed in a nutshell, according to Tolstoy, in the Sermon on the Mount, ther

dressed in a bicycle sit and cnme swinging along at an easy gait.Just ahead of me there was a little Chinese :aundry, and the Chinaman was standing in the doorway.When Kipling reached him he addressed the Chinaman in Chinese and began s rattling converse tion with kim in that language.The Chinaman gave a gasp of surprise, but answered him, and in « few minutes Kipling had him smiling from esr 10 ear, and both of them were jabbering away in Chinese faster than « horse could trot.\u2018I understood afterward that every time Kipling came to town he stopped for a chat with the Chinaman.The |

snd those quietly shook hands as they met, whispered a word or two, and left the apartment, so that others coming into it should find room.Que noteworthy incident of the afternoon was the arrival of the Presbyterian and Methodist Theological students, who had assembled together at the college grounds and then marched over to view the remains of the t preacher.THE REV.MR.DUCLOS.The Rev.Mr.Duclos, who conducted the funeral service over the remains oi the late Dr.Chiniquy at the house, 65 Hutchison street, said: \u2018Friends and fellow countrymen, we have met herc to-day to honor the memory of Dr.Chiniquy and to express to the family our deep sympathy.We do it with all the more sincerity that this death removes from our midst a friend, a father, whose life and work have been mingled for the past forty years with the religious life of the country.This death draws the veil over the most prominent personality and silences the most eloquent voice of French Protestantism in Canada.\u2018As the \u201capostle of temperance,\u201d the young abbé acquired in his own country a well-merited reputation as à popular orator ; since he passed into the ranks of Protestantism, for most legitimate reasons, Dr.Chiniquy attained a uni: verse] fame as theologian, controversial: ist and orator in the truest and widest sense of the word.\u2018This is not the moment to give a sketch cf the works of the man whose death we now lament.When, after these trying rcenes of mourning, the calm of every-day life will have been restored; when the atmosphere has cleared, and when, unable to see him, we shall recall his memory, then will be the time to speak of his labors as a writer and a re former, \u201cWhat is freshest in our memories and in unr hearts to-day is the preacher en- on deavoring to restore to his people the Saviour which had been taken from them, It is the controversialiet trying to remove obstacles to free circulation of evangelical truth.\u201cThere is na doubt that the reputation which the young abbé had made ns à nreacher of temperance has largely tributed to the popularity of his last forty years, but it is nevertheless true that Dr.Chiniquy was endowed with ecrtain facultiea which account for the esteem, the affection and devotion of a large portion of the population of the province, in epite of his so-called apos- tacy.Thonwands whom anathemas could not retain within the pale of the Church of Rome will never forget the cordiality and the Christian and affec.tionete solicitud> with which he greeted them;

a man who, in ten or fifteen years, will be claimed as a national glory.One could read in a recent publication this harmful insinuation: \u2019Is there not something like a melancholy expression of painful regret felt in Dr.Chiniquy's letter to the Archhishop *\u201d To regret what * One wonders is it pity or contempt which one feels at these words?\u2018After all, Mr.Chiniquy knew his people.He knew that he had to call things by their proper names ; he knew that he would not produce the desired impression if he clothed his thoughts in conventional courtesy, and he spoke openly.Strenge to say, when Mr.Chiniquy clearly expressed his thoughts so as to be understood by his people he was accused of using too strong language (\u2018\u201cexcèa de langage\u201d), and when he is moderate and considerate and remains within the limita of strict politeness bis sincerity is doubted.Oh, logic! Oh, inconse- quence! \u201cIt seems,\u201d was written at the same time, \u201cthat it is difficult without the help of the Church to die, when one has been Catholic, when one bas been a priest, when one has believed in confession, in the remissions of sins, and when one has oneself given absolution.\u201d We answer yes, but when one does not believe any longer in these doctrines, for geod and valid reasons, what then ?Nothing is easier, on the contrary, 1 have been by the bedside of men dying in the faith of Christ, and especially 1 had the privilege of being with the de ceased.I have seen him in danger among strangers, in danger among his own.have seen friends, gentlemen and ladies, at the peril of their lives, shielding him with their persons, and then I have seen that defenceless man turn towards his assailants, saying, heart-broken, \u201cDear {riends, when will you see light ; when will you understand that I want nothing else but your good, your emancipation, your happiness and your salvation ?\u201d And then in these last days I have heard him, and others have heard him, calling bis Baviour in his prayer, \u201cLaving a desire to depart,\u201d and that cry from his heart was not wrung from him by pain.No ; this ery came without suffering, in the calm possession of all his faculties and clearness of his faith.I have seen him in the supreme moment, his hand in mine, uplifting his soul in » last and long look towards heaven, without agony, without anguish.Leaving to those he 80 tenderly loved the care of his remains and the luminous path of his soul, he ascended into the arms of his Saviour, \u2018No, friends and fellow countrymen, it is not difficult to die without the help of the Roman Catholic religion when one has Christ for » Saviour, the way and the door to heaven.\u2018Now, venerable father and colleague, in the name of thousands of fellow: ecuntrymen, I thank you; 1 thank you for the example of temperance and sobriety given them; I thank you for the forty most beautiful and faithful years of your life given to the proclamation of the gospel.At the Master's call you have Jaid down your arms, but the fruits of your labors will recall your sojourn amougut us.Thiv home where you have greeted us\u2014-thewe churches in which your voice was heard \u2014 these schools where young people veapect- fully listened to you in silence;

Mesars, Thos.Gilday, county master of the Orange Order; J.R.Dou- gall, Walter I'aul, tl.Contant and W.F.Lighthall, Over a hundred Orangemen walked ahead of the hearse, and some hundred students and friends, while following the remains were several hundreds on foot and many carriages.Students of the four theological colleges, Diocesan, Congregational, Methodist and Presbyterian, attended m a mixed body and nunbered over a hundred.The students of the French Methodist Institute, headed by the Rev.I.Pinel, assembled nt the church and numbered about seventy-five, AT THE CHURCH.A public funcral service was hold at Frskine Church, which was crowded, many hundreds being unable to secure admission.The casket having been borne into the church, the Rev.Mr.Mowatt, the pastor, opened the service hy repeating the Lord's Prayer.After hymn 32¢ had been sung, the Rev.Dr.Boudreau read in French from the scriptures and the Rev.Dr.Coussirat prayed in hia native French tongue.The Rev.Dr.Mac- kay, of Crescent Street Presbyterian Church, read from the scriptures in English and the Rev.Dr.Fleck, of Kmox Church, prayed.MR.LAFLEUR'S ADDRESS.The Rev.Mr.Latleur opened his nd- dress in somewhat the following terme : * Here, in the mysterious silence of the last sleep, rests the marvellous voice of the great popular orator of whom fiod made use for so many years to work up great social reforms, first of all among his people.Religiously inclined {rom his infancy, he prepared himself for the priesthood.Im the full strength of hia youth, with all the ardor of a avophyte, the young ecclesiastic bad already mca.sured, with a terrified eve, the ravaees of intemperance in the use of intoxicating liquors.He felt n divine inspiration taking hold of him and ind i fight that giant which sa the auxiliary of all that is bad, depraved and vicious in the world.\u2018fhe great work was comparatively casey, for, with the exception of a few refractory curés, the clergy encouraged and helped him, opening their parishes and churches to receive him.But most in sympathy with him were all the moral and reiig- ious women of the country at large; human sufferings called and greeted han aloud.It was the mother, the wife, the sister, the daughter, who accompanied with their prayers and throbbing hearts the man who came to vanquish the destroyer of their happiness, the enemy of their pesce, the despoiler of all that was precious and sacred to them.No wonder, then, that he was triumphantly cs corted from place to place.Tavern keepers alone, who made no nore n.oney out of their sad traffic, cursed his work.Continuing, the reverend gentleman briefly referred to Dr.Chiniquy's work, at that time, among Protestants, the result of which was several conversions to the Roman Catholic faith, and he then related how, for causes still not rufficient- ly explained, Dr.Chiniquy was suddenly stopped in his temperance career, end sent by Bishop Bourget as a missionary to the French-Canadians in Illinois.V'ray- ers and tears to have him remain in bis own country could not make the ecclesiastical authority yield.A few years after, when he had established his parish of Ste.Anne de Kankakee, the press announced a lawsuit between him and the Bishop of Chicago, concerning some church property.Little did \u2018he apostle of temperance think at the time that his fight was about to begin with the Church iteelf, that is to my, its clergy, its authority, its riches, ita numbers, the prestige of unity, and with all those troined in that school.From that time dates the correspondence between deceased and the speaker, Upon Dr.Chiniquy\u2019s invitation, Mr.La: fleur visited him at this period, and, referring to this event, he said this afternoon:\u2014\u201c\u2018After an almost consecutive conversation of fifteen hours, we went down on our knees to pray the invisible Master to direct, enlighten and strength: en him for that sublime moment when the perspective of a reformed faith opened a new world to his astonished soul.I shall never forget his look, and the pallor of his fi glittering with a new celestial light.Me had just under sicod, after many other things, that the God whom we had just addressed in spirit and in ti , was much greater than the one ich he professed to have held in Mis consecrated hands.Having abandoxed his belief in confes- i his last atachment, although the It reasonable, The unity of his church seerned to him very factitious and very superficial, but he feared Protestantism with all ite denominations.He had not rt understood {hat God is great enough to manifest himself and even be pleased to do eo, in every group of his children, just as the sun, his image, gives light to their abode and life to all things.\u2019 Continuing, the preacher said that, after being thus struck down on the road to Damascus, it might bave been profit; able for Dn Chiniquy, as for Paul, to re- main three years in study and meditation before going into the arena.\u2018But circumstances would not allow this, and hardly a year alter he commenced the battle, be passed as he was, like the apostle, to make his faith known.But bow different this battle from the first one! It will be varied, multiplied, difficult and covering a number of grou: He will no longer have to tight a single enemy, the huleous vice of intemperance, detested by all honest people, but this time he will have against him all the women, those who are sincerely religious, and even the worldly women who pretend to have rome devotion.He will have against him, in a compact mass, the whole clergy, themselves intoxicated, not with vulgar liquor, that demoralices, but with the subile nectar of clerical pride, which manifesta itself in sumptuous ceremonies, in the profession of divine privileges, granted to them alone, and in numerous more or lens theological works which pretend to justify all the encroachments made upon the sacred test of the serip- tures, upon reason and upon bumsn conscience.Not having had the opportuni: ty to get a thorough training in the niceties of theological discussion, it was no wonder that Dr.Chiniquy\u2019s former popular cloquence could not render him the mime wervices as of old, for doctrinal discussions hardly admit of popular eloquence.Ilowever, justice was not done Dr.Chiniquy when lie was denied all success as a Protestant preacher.Many will never forget his accents when, his hand on the Lible, he depicted with emotion what that book iad done for the durch and commenced to do for humanity, Still more unjust has it heen towards him te accuse him after setting aside the mont vulnerable part of his ancient faith, of having also east aside and abused his own people to cast hin lot with strangers.for he could say, and he often did say with st.I: \u2018[ sav the truth in Christ, ¥ lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, that I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.(Romans ix, 1, 2) \u2018What I wish in my heart and prayer is that my brethren in the flesh be paved.Atter qroting further from the Epistle, the speaker referred as follows to the work done hy deceased :\u2014\u2018 This great, powerful and constant worker did all that Le could.We ave not here to judge his work.That work is now done and Cod will do for it as for ours, he will cause to live such portion of it an is good.Some few yexrs ago the angel of death, which is an angel of Grd, hed al ready appezred to him in a fugitive manner, and said : \u2014 It is I, and 1 will return: | come to warn but net to frighten you\" One evening, when he had been very sick and after I bad prayed by his indride, he said to me, \u20181 have seen death very near, but I did not fear, for I can say, like Bt.Paul, * For me to live is Clrist and to die is gain.\u201d This was sai with euch simplicity and casur- ance that I never had any fear concerning the moment when life is judged, nor any fear that he might feel the need of any ceremony of his former Church to give him the assurance of his salvation.The angel of Death came this time and touched with his powerful hand the wonderful organism and stopped it.He han entered a profound sleep, from which the Spirit of God will awaken him in n new organism.Let vs adore in silence the work of the Eternal Father.THE REV.PRINCIPAL MACVICAR.The Rev.Principal MacVicar, epeaking in English, said: We are met to consign to the tomb, \u2018in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life, through our lerd Jesus Christ, the mortal remains of Dr.Chiniquy.And now that his life work is done, and he rests from his labors, it may be profitable to ask, how are we to regard him?1 answer: He was a distinguished man, of unique personality and mission, who will not soon be forgotten.In many respects he stood alone, a commanding figure in onr country and century.His ancestry and education 1 need not trace.This has been done by his own pen, and his cxceptionally high endowments, his lit- crary, theological and dialectic skill and genius have beep sufficiently dwelt upon by the press.His numerous publications, translated into many languages, and widely circulated in many parts of the world, are a lasting monument to his ability and industry.His missionary labors, were not confined to one country or continent.His apostolic zea] in disseminating the truth carried him through Canada, the United States, Britain, Australia, Tasmania, the Sandwich Islands, New Zealand and portions of Eurcpe; and by means of his printed works, brilliant und fascinating in style, he has been heard, and will continue to be a powerful factor in the thought and life of regions upon whic his eyes never rested.\u2018He being dead yet speaketh.\u2019 He will be tememberd as an enthusiastic reformer.In early manhood, and, indeed, to the end of bis long life, this was his proper role, not an easy one as proven by the experience of all true re formers; religious, social, and scientific.The qualities required for such a mis son are of the highest order\u2014Faith in God and man, courage, patience, gentle ness, love, indomitable perseverance, a spirit of self-sacrifice and willingness to work and suffer and die for the truth and the vindication of buman rights.Jt would be too much to say of the deceased, or of any mere man, that he (ossessed these and kindred attributes in perfection, but the record of his man struggles give evidence of the hi degree in which he manifested many of thom; and that he achieved memorable ruccessés has been acknowledged by all.\u2018This was conspicuously the case in his ®heroie singls-handed battle with the demon of intemperance, when he gained a glorious victory, for which he received marked recognition by the citizens of Montreal, and was publicly thanked by the Parliament of the province in 1831.This is but one instance of victory.Need 1 remind you that he lived to see meny other views for which he contended, triumphant, We all know how toleration, independent thought and ac tion regarding matters cwvil®and religious, huve advanced during the last forty years.In these respects Quebec of to-day is mot what it was for the preceding century, and, by the blessing of God upon the labors of the deceased and of others who will continue his mission, brighter days are yet to dawn.What is needed is a larger measure of his faith and manly fortitude.How often in his muititudinous controversies did he appear hedged in upon ali sides, ~surrounded by frowning, impassable, mountain difliculties, but his courage never gave way.In the face of them all, like heroes of the past whim we delight to honor, his cry was ever, \u2018Who art thou, great mountain?Who is weak, and I am not week?1 can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me.\u2019 What if in the conflicts through which reformera necessarily pass there is more than a little which they and we, as well as timid, case-loving, peace-loving, onlookers deplore! Shall we not, in spite of this, und in the exercise of that broad Christian charity which rejoiceth in the truth, and thinketh no evil, credit them in the face of convincing evidence to that effect with sincerity of purpose, and manliness of conduct in secking to be first pure and then ce- able?1 tell you what you ail bou, that men of this type are speciaily needed in our day, and should be higbly estermed\u2014men of undaunted boldness and holy rachness, if you will, who fear not to challenge things as they are and have been, and who risk everything in the effort to secure to their fellow-men the fuil enjoyment of their God-given heritage of civil and spiritual freedom.This vas the practical altruism by which Dr.Chiniquy was largely characterized.Hence I venture to think, further, that he will be remembered as a true patriot, The fire of loyalty to our Sovereign and country burns with ardor in the breasts of his fellow-countrymen, but in none with greater intensity than was felt by the heart of him whose re- moins lie silent before us.His was a patriotism, love of country, which was thoroughly outspoken, based upon Christian principles, and therefore united with a catholicity of spirit which enabled him to rejoice in the good and prosperity of the many other countries that enjoyed his labors.Hence with the Master, he could heartily say, \u2018The field is the world, and with the apostle of the Gentiles he uniformly felt and said, \u2018My heart's desire and prayer to God for my countrymen is, that they nay be saved.\u201d With all his love of freedom, and as the champion of the right of private judgment and free speech on the platform and in the press, this was the great impelling motive of his life, that his dear countrymen might enjoy the liberty with which Christ makes his people free.We do not say that in his strenuous efforts for thin purpose he never erred.God forbid.None could be more ready than Dr.Chiniquy to confess to Ged in the closet his weakness and failures and sins.And how often have thousands beard him eay s0 in public, and declare that his only hope was in the all-suffi- cient and infinitely efficacious blood of atonement, which cleanseth from all sin.In this faith be lived, and in this faith he died.You lave read his testimony on his denth-bed to this effect ; an were the lips that are now silent once nore unsealed they would declare with an eloquence inspired from the kingdom of glory\u2014'It is true\u2014I know by bles sed experience that Jesus Chriet, and he alone, saves to the uttermost, all that come unto God by him.\u201d It is no exaggeration ta say that the strongest wish of Dr Chiniguy\u2019s heart through life was that his countrymen, whom he passionately loved, might ec- cept this glorious incasage.1 testify what I have seen.I have been with him in the solitude of his chamber, when he prayed for them with an earnestness which reminded me of what is recorded of Knox, the great Scottish Ieformer, when be cried to God, \u2018O give me, give me Scotland or I ie.Finally, I venture to think that the memory of Dr.Chiniquy, as a broad: minded, far-seeing Christian patriot will have a permanent place in the history of Canada, and prove an inspiration to thousands of his countrymen to cling to the truth, snd the Saviour he eo fervently proclaimed.That truth he ever scught to put into the hands of every man as his birth-right.Te its supreme h {and infallible authority alone, and not te any man or counsel, he yielded unquestioning submission, and by th preaching of his blessed Saviour, who is \u2018the way, the truth, end life, he was honored of God in bringing many thousands from darkness to light.Theve shall be his joy and crown of glorying be fore our Lord Jesus at his coming; and then it will appear that tbe struggles and sorrows of life, however ful snd prolonged, are not worthy to compared with the glory that shall be revealed, for \u2018they that be wise shall shine ay the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness us the stars for ever and ever\u2019 Amen.DR.AMARON'S ADDRESS.after Speaking in French, Dr.Amaron, giving expression to his grief, proceeded with a brief sketch of the career of the illustrious dead.A priest of the Church of Rome, Dr.Chiniquy, st the demand of conecience, had descended from s high position of ecclesiastical and worldly glory to become « simple minister of the gonpel of Jesus Christ.In doing so he knew very well what | \u2026 JANUARY 24, 1899, persecutions would meet him, he knew that his work of intellectusl emancipation would not be understood, but with that energy end indomitable courage which always characterized him, and the strong conviction which faith in Christ alone could give, Le abandoned everything to unfurl the banner of the gospel.A great trust had been confided to him; the question was, would hs be faithful to it?would lie proclaim the evan- gelieal truth to the end ?Having been a priest, would he face death without the ministry of the Church ?Those who knew him intimately, who knew his plety and understood his motives end purposes, never doubted for 8 moment his sincerity snd fidelity, to the end.He was accused of having very many faults.The defects seen were chiefly due to the cleri.eal education he had received and which he had combated so vigorously, He remained \u201cfaithful to the last.On Dec.4 he had presched a remarkable sermon in St.John\u2019s French Presbyterian Church, and on the following Sunday he rpoke for an hour and a half at the French Methodist Church, On Dec.18 he preached to the scholars of the mis- son at l\u2019oint-aux-Trembles, and on Chriat- mas eve, with his young nature, he participated in the Christinas feast of the Sunday-school of St.John's Church.On Christmas Sunday he occupied his place in St.Jobn\u2019e Church for the last time, and partook of Holy Communion.That afternoon, at the Convalescent Home, he delivered what was his last mesmege.During Dr.Chiniquy\u2019s iliness his faith wustained him.In an interview which the preacher had with the Archbishop, he (Dr.Amaron) promised that if the aged minister expressed the desire to see him, his liberty of conscience would he respected.In conformity with this promise, he frequently enquired of Dr.Chi- niquy if the faith which he had preached for forty-five years sufficed him at the last moment.Lifting his hands to heaven he said, \"The road which leads me to heaven is straight\u2014Jesus Christ\u2019 Two days later he said, \u2018It is beautiful to reach the end of life's voyage.Heaven opens before me.What more could be given me.How could I mise the road, when Jesus the loving Saviour leads?\u2018If a man dying in this faith is not saved,\u2019 exclaimed Dr.Amaron, \u2018then is no salvation possible.\u2019 This final triumph of the minister of God was a triumph for the gospel of Christ.During his life he preached the truth to thousands of souls, and by his triumphal death he lifted the veil that had concealed the truth from many timid ones, who, having lost trust in the old system which he condemned, had not yet had the courage to embrace the evangelical faith.His cereer taught that to shandon all to accept Jesus Christ was happiness in life and in the moment of death, the crown of immortality.ON THE WAY TO MOUNT ROYAL.It was not until five o'clock that the church was emptied of the crowd of people.The street for over half & mile was crowded with people.All classes wère represented, and that not by dozens, or scores, but by thousande of both women end men.The French element, including a good sprinkling of representatives of the decessed pastor's first faith, was more in evidence in the vicinity of the house on Hutchison street: the English, naturally, at the church.Those who assayed to follow the procession into the sacred edifice, but could not gain admission, numbered probably over a thousand, and d when the doors were aguin oponed the number had not diminished, but increased.Blowly the church emptied; the loved remains were borne again to the hearse, end the long procession headed for Mount Royal Cemetery.At an hour when the prosaic duties of life chained a great many of those who loved him to workshop or office, not lens than eight thousand persons turned aside out of respect to the memory of him \u2018Whose every thought and every deed, Did bold within itself the seed, Of futtre good and future need It was quite dark when the funeral reached Mount Royal Cemetery and the remains of Dr.Chiniquy were deposit in the vault, as is usual at this season, to await interment in the spring.MESSAGES OF SORROW, Messages of condolence in comforting terms were received from Mr.E.H.Rainey, master of British Columbia Orangemen Mrs, Joanna M.Reeves, of Toronto ;

Such a dispute would never have occurred if Jesus Christ has established Peter as the greatest or the lire: of them.They would surely have known it, and Jesus Christ would have answered, \u201cHave you so soon forgotten that PPeier is the greatest among you, that hie is the first among you from the day in which 1 appointed him the fundamental stone of My Church ?* but far from answering thus, the Ron of God rebuken Ii apostien and tells them positively, \u201cThe kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them.A Bat it shall not be so among vou.\" (Luke xiii.2325) Not only that mode forged primacy of Peter has never beén acknowledged by any of the apostles, but has been openly and positively denial by Paul.\u201cFor tle that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumeision, the same was mighty in me towards the Gentiles.\u2019 (Gal.9.) \u2018And when James, Cephas and John.\u201d who seemed to be the pillars, \u201cperceived the grace that wan given unto me ther pue to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship that we should go unto the henthen and they unto the circumcision.\u201d Here Peter ia named only after James, a thing that never would have been done by 8t.Paul if he had known anything nf the marvellous superiority and primacy of Peter over the rest of the apostles.\u2018The following are the words of Rt.Paul: \u201cBut Antioch, | bstond him to the face, because he was to be blamed.(Gala- tiana, ii, 11).It is evident that Paul had not the least idea of any kind of superiority of Peter over him when he withstood him to the face : and still more when he wrote these lines, 1t is clear that the Holy Ghost inspired Paul to rive ue the history of hin so stern withstanding to the face of Peter thet even to the threshold of ctermity 1a cifer ) we might not be seduced Ly the grand THE, MONTREAL imposture of the supremacy of Peter, which is the corner stone ui the apostate Clinrch of Raine, SNL will never be a Raman Catholic, be the dteman Catholic Church ae vlotatrous.it warships God ?Ve but the Gnd wham 1t worships is made with a wafer at wn wafergod that ie on oate altar.Every hour of his life & priest in guilty of the cris Auron commuted when he [vrnehtes 10 worship a golden only dilivrenes between bios avd Saran is that Anton's gl wis made of wold and tht of the priest 1s made of some dough inked hy nona or servant pire between two weil-polished and ted irons.\u201cThe Roman Catholic h has a Christ on its altars, Yes.And it is very devoted and truly pious towards that Christ, \u2014 or, rather, those ( hrista;

for his Father had for- Lidden such an eheurd and idolatreus act when nu Mount Sinai, in the midet of the thunders and lightuings, le said, \u201cThou shalt not make to thee y graven image, or aay likeness of anything that in in herven above, or that ie in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself 10 them, nor serve them, for I, the Lord thy God, am n jealous God, visting the iniquity of the futhers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that me\u201d Christ came to accomplish, and not to break bis Father x commandments.He could nov give the Church of Rome the permissivn or the power to break them by ardering it, an it pretends he to make an engraven wafer, turn it into God, and bow down before it: for this is idolatry \u2014 rk, shameful wlnlatry.When Christ told us to eat his body and drink his blood, he was speaking in the same figure as when be suid he would eat the Passover.\u2018Though Christ maid, \u201cI will eat the Passover,\u201d he was not able to ent the Passover, for the simple reason that the presage of the exterminating angel over Egypt could not be eaten.But the lamb which was eaten in remembrance of the \u2018l'asmover.would be enten, and that lamb was cnlledd the \u2018l\u2019assover,\u2019 because it represented the Passover.By the rame figure of speech the body and bloud of Chrixt would not be eaten.But the brend which represented that body would be caten: and the bread ba had then to be called the \u2018body, by the same reason and by the same rule of fan.was called the \"ane guage that the lamb \u2018Pansover,\u2019 though it was not the uver- just in the same way, and by «me rule of language that when lok at the marble statue of Queen Vie trie, we sa his is Queen Vietoria,\u2019 thongh it 1+ not Queen Victoria nt all.*3) I will never be a Roman Catholic, because every Laman Catholic heap and primst 1 forced to perjure himself every time he explains a text of the holy scriptures.Yes, though it is à very big word, snd a hard world, it is the truth.From the dey that he hun sworn when he was ordained a priest to interpret the holy scriptures only ac- conling to the unanimous consent of the holy fathers, he Lax seldom preached on a text of the scriptures without being guilty of perjury.For, after having studied the holy fathers with some attention, | 2m ready to prove that the holy fathers bave been unsnimous in only one thing, which was to differ on almost every text of the scriptures on whi they lave written.For instance, & priest cannot say that the Ttooks of the faccal are inspired without perjuring himself;
