Swenson\u2019s Body, TWO HERALD MEN AT WORK.À Man\u2019s Hand\u2014Suspicious Spots of Blood in the Snow\u2014 A Slipper.BY OUR OWN REFORTERS.It is now six weeks since Carl Swen- son, tie Craig-street jeweler, disap- ;eared and as y-t bis whereabout -_ main envelo ped in inyetery.Specula- tio .t.u8 been rifs as t> how and why h \u2018nt away w trout leaving one scrap o raper or other clue by whicn he ia any manner cou'd be traced.Various theories bave been advanced but one theory thus far has been as good as another so fur +8 being supported by tangible evidence is concerned.One theory is tuat while under the influence of drink he waodered away and per:shed.This is supported by the statement that he was in the hanit at times of imbibing rather too freely, and frequently took long walks; in addition to this it ia also said that Jetterly he manifested some unessine:s about certain speculations.Again it is said being of a taciturn mind Le suddenly took a freak to travel, and closed his shop, purchased a ticket, and quietly stcle away and is now in some part of the American continent quietly jerusing the papers and smul- rg to himself over the fuss they are making about his mysterious disap- yesrance.Another, and what wouid seem in the light of more recent revelations to be the more plausible theory is that he was either enticed to some lonely spot and foully murdered for his money and jewellery which he carried upon his person or was way aid while strolling along the sfreets at alat> hour at night.In support of this it is asserted that he was in the habit of carrying large sums of money about with bim, a fact which was generally known, and he wore upon his fingars two very valuable diamond rings which was quite enough to excite toe cupidity of evil intentioned persons.The story of the finding of a human hand in the upper part of Rivard-street, in (Cote St.Louis, on Saturday Jast, and which was relited in Monday\u2019s Herald led two Herald ccm- missioners to further investigate the myetery surrounding this discovery the result of which is detailed below.It will be remembered that the hand in question was found in a yard back of à house at 847 Rivard-street, having been brought there by a dog.The hand was picked up by a Mrs.Beaupre, taken into the house and thrown into the stove.When the police learned of the affair, they went to tha house and recovered the charred bones and took them to No, 12 station where they still remain.The detectives were seen concerning the matter, but seemed to take little stock in the fivd as they said it was a frequent occurrence to discover portions of the human anatomy thrown out in such a way by medical students, who } ad use] tbem for purposes of dissection.Not satisfied with this the two com issios ers yesterday visited the place where the hand was found, held an int>r View with Mre.Beaupre and from wha they lesrned were sufficiently convinced of \u2018Le importance of the discovery to engage in an extended search for a pos+i- bie body to which it might belong Just back of the house where the hand was found is a wide expanse of field, which forms a part of Mount Royal Park, and which extends out into the open counry, It will be remembered that at the time it was found it was not stated whether the band was that of a man ora woman.Mrs.Beaupre says that there could te no mistake about its belonging to a male person as it was of large size, The flesh was considerably decomposed, especially about the fingers.The arm was broken or gnawed off above the wrist, There were no rings on the fingers.It was the right hand.pon further questioning Mrs.Beau- pre said tbat about six weeks ago upon Tising in the morning and looking out of the window into the street she saw a lotof blood on the snow which seemed to have been dropped from somethinz wbich was caried along.On going to the back of the house she discovered the same thing there, both on the ground aud on a low gallery.There were foot tracks in the snow but not heing well at the time, and no suspicion of foul play arising in her mind she did not go down to further inspect the suspicious circumstance, Another peculiar thing which may, however, be only a coincidence is that her dog which brought the hand into the yard disappeared on Saturday night and has not since turned up.Another lady, who saw the hand, and Policeman Lamouche, who recovered it from the stove, wera present at the interview and corroborated much of what Mrs.Beupre said.Mr.Lamouche stated that be had sbown tte hand to Dr, Jette and the doctor remarked that 1t was probably in such an advanced stage of deccmposition wben found by the dog that if there were any rings on the fingers they had probably droppel off.Several children were playing in the field at the back of the house on Saturday afternoon.Some of them were seen by the commisasionersand said that they saw the dog coming across the field with somethiog in his mouth and making towards the house.The commissioners started'o 1t to see if any further clue could be obtained, aud searched far back into the country.There is still rorsiderable quantities of snow remaining on the fields and the hollows are still filled to à level so that if a body was lying in one of these it would be simply impossible to discover it now.However, it was, directly back of the houre in question and about 100 rods from it a German slipper was found together with a Daily Star of the date of Feb.3, the issue being just a week previous to Bwenson\u2019s disappearance which | occurred on Feb.10.The finding of the slippers conforms to ose of the early published accounts of his departure, in- #smuch as when last seen on the night he dieappeared he wore slippers on his feet, À Taking the broken arm, and the fact tbat where tbe band was discovered was so far removed from a medical collage, the nearest being nearly two miles distant, would geem to effrctua\u2019ly do away with the medical studenttheury.All facts considered does it not seem possible that tle discovery of this band furnishes a valuable clue to the whereabouts of the missing Swenson, and the manner in which he may have been disposed of.?A Reward Offered.Mr.Wulff, vice-consul for Sweden and Norway, curator for the estate of the missing Sweneon, has been instructed by letters from the latter\u2019s brother to look after the interests of tha family.Mr.Wulff is getting out circulars offer- Ing & reward of $100 for information which will lead to the restoration of the Lods.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 TORONTO

IT WILL TAKE ITS COURSE.The View of Merchants in the Newfoundland Trade.THEY ARE ASKING FOR DELAY.There Will Be no Further Progress in the Matter in the Imperial Parliament Till After Easter, BY OUR SPECIAL SERVICE.Loxnon, March 24.\u2014Mr.William Henry Swith, Frst Lord of the Treasury and Government leader in the Commons, has been waited upon by a deputation of merchants engaged in the Newfoundland trade, who appeared before him to urge delay on the part of the Imperial Government in forcing thrcugh Parliament the bill introduced into the House of Lords last week by Lord Knutsford, secretary for the colonies, and which seeks to make operative upon Newfoundland the provisions of the modus vivendi entered into between France and Great Britain relative to the rights of the former upon the colony.The bill is one which is most bitterly opposed by the Newfoundlanders.Replying to the representations of the deputation, Mr.Smith informed his visitors that whilethe question was ons of paramount importance and of extrame urgency it would nevertheless have to undergo a delay of 26 days between the time of the introduction of the bill snd the date for its second readicg.This interval would afford plenty of time to permit ofthe oppenents of the measure presenting their objections to its passage.After Mr.Smith's reply in the House of Commons yesterday Sir J.P.Hennessey decided to pcstpone any further qnes- tioning of the Government outhe Newfoundland imbroglio till after Easter.A Miners Bang a Thief.BY OUR SPECIAL SERVICE.Cuarkseure, W.Va., March 24.\u2014 A miner

D-\u2014d Black Rascals Back or Kill Them.BY OUR SPECIAL SERVICE, LITTLE Rock, March 24.\u2014Yesterday morn.ng a planter claiming to belong to the first families of Louisiana boarded a train onthe Valley Route Railay at l'ulaeki,near tbe State line.He said that be Was looking for a family of negroes who had left his plantation for Oklahoma andtbat he intended bringing the\u2014\u2014\u2014 black rascals back or kill them.When the train reached Parkdale a well-dressed negro man, accompanied by his wife and three children, boarded the train.The planter told the negro that he was under contract to work for him during the year, and that unless he returned at once to the plantation he would kill him.The negro replied that this was a free country and that he was goinz to Oklohoma.With an oath the planter drew a revolver and ghot the negro through the head, killing bim instantly.The planter then walked out of the train and afier assuring the many spectators present on the platform that that was the only way to break up, \u201cthe damn negro stampede to Oklahoma \u201d returned to his home in Louisiana.The name of the planter is not known.\u2014_\u2014_\u2014\u2014 MILLIONS LOST BY THE FLOODS.The Breaks in the Mississippi Levees Do & Tremendous Amount of Damage, BY OUR SPECIAL SERVICE, New OBLEAKs, March 24.\u2014The crevasses now pouring their waters over a dozen parishes of Louisiana will prove little, if any, less destructive than those of last year.The break at Concordia, East Carroll parish, is now 600 feet wide and will flood the same section that was overflowed by the great Raleigh crev- aese in 1890, As destructive as the Concordia crevasse will prove, it will probably not do a tithe of the injury that wili result from tte Ames crevasse, just opposite the city, which will affect the parishes of Aecension, St.James, St.John St.Charles, Jeffereon, Plaquemines, Lafourche and Terrebonve, in fact, the entire basin between the Mississippi and Lafourche rivers.The crevasse is now over 400 feet wide and 25 feet deep.The section that it will affect cons's\u2018s of sugar and rice plantations, and the sugat crop at least is likely to prove at tal 1083, a8 the water will remain on the land for several weeks and completely destroy the growing cane, The fall extent of the damaze will no be felt for three or four weeks yet us the great baein in which the water flows will fill up slowly, but as the inflow can- Lot be checked until the river falls within its banks, which 18 not expected un jl June, and as the crevasse widens daily ard the volume of water pouring through is c:nstanily increasing, It is only a question of time when the basin will be ful! to overflowing and the plantation will be submerged by the back water.This was the result from the Davis crevasse in 18884, which wasin many re- specs similar to the Ames crevasse, al- though itwas not as large as the latter is likely to be.The loss from the Davis crevasse was about $4,000,000; that from the.Ames cre asse may be as much, perhaps more, A Texas and Pacific Railroad official es- t'mates tbat that line will be damaged in injury to roadbed and Joss of business by interruption of traflic at least $500,000, and the Souther Pacific will be fortanate if the injury to that line is not as much more.Both roads are already submerged for a diztauce of 25 miles.In the peighborhood of Concordia crevasse the people have flocked ia by hundreds to tha levee for safety as affording the only land in\u2019 the vicin'ty not likely to be overflowed.As one goes further from the river the land becomes lower and in a few days the water will be 10 fest deep in the rear of East Carroll and Madison parishes.Couriers were sent out as soon as the levee broke at Concordia and the people warned to leave their homes and move to higher grounds.Thus far no Joss of life is reported.= The weather to-day threatens rain.\u201d A heavy rain and windstorm just now would be a calamity, for the one woald weaken the levees and the other would whip the river into waves that would enormously increase the pressure against the dikes and cause more breaks.The river is rising slowly from Greenville to the Guif and in a number of places has reached the high water mark of last year.Court Martial at Gibraltar, BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.GIBRALTAR, March 24.\u2014A court martial to ascertain what

elepbant which was presented to Central Park by Adam Forepaugh, was 1 on the rampage yesterday morning and - came near adding another to the eight keepers he is credited with killing.Keeper William Snyder was in the cage upon \u201cTips\u201d right at 8 o'clock yesterday morning feeding the two elephants it contained, when he heard a roar, followed by a snapping of chains He knew that the big brute was in one of his ugly moods, and, fearing that he might | break out of the el@hant house, ran to his cage.As he reached the iron door be saw that \u201cTip\u201d had broken his body chain and ore around his front leg and was lashing his trunk and throwing hia- self against the sides « f his cage in great rage.He was still held by chains around hig hind legs and que around his lefs front leg.Snyder quickly entered the cage and, grabbing a clab that he used to control the elephants, st ack Tip over the hed and reached for the broken chains.Tip had fought with hiskeepers before, and proceeded to deliberately strike Snyder over the shoulders with hig trunk and knocked him down.The keeper was s trifle dazad by the unexpected attack, but was not rendered unconscivus.He endeavored to roll over to the door, fearing to rise es Tip might give him a blow on the head.The elephant, seeing his keeper at his fuet, apparently commenced coolly to follow out his plan of killing him.As Snyder endeavored to roll towards tbe door Tip made a strenuous effort to push him up against the side of the cage and run his tusks through Lis body.He snorted and dipped his head, vainly trying to reach the man with the ends of his tusks.Failing in this he changed his tact'cs and sought to roll tte keepar under his feet and trample him to death.As uld \u201cTip was gradually dragging bim towards bim with bis trunk the keaper was grabbing at the sides of the cage, the edges cf the boards of the floor, and at the same time crying fur help.It was a frightful stroggle.The infuriated beast was trampling around the foor as if he already had the keeper beneath his feet and was crushirg ous his ife.Fertunately, great as the odds in the encounter appeared to be stronuly in favor of the elephant, Park Policeman Murphy heard Snyder's cries, and, running to the rear door, saw the keeper\u2019s plight.He quickly caught the keeper by his fert and dragged him across the floor and out of reach of the elephant.Snyder's back was very sore and he wags badly bruised about the body.\u201cIt wag the narrowest escape I ever bad,\u201d said the keeper yesterday afternoon, \u201cand but for the prompt action of Officer Murphy, I would certainly bave been trampled to death.\u201d With the assistance of other keapers Synder soon chained the elephant as soon as \u201cTip\u201d had got over his rage sufficiently to be approachable.A stronger ebain was put around his body end new ones were fastened around each of his legs.This new arrangement appeared to increase his anger and he permitted no one to come within his reach.BRUSH WIERS AN ERROR.The Fish Dealers Are Complaining.THE BAY OF FUNDY HERRING.Hundreds o1 the Young Unes Have Been Killed Off by the Existence of the Brush

Reverted to.THE SHAMROCK'S NEW CAPTAIN.Mr, McAnulty Accepts the Offa, \u2014The N.A.L.A.Annual Meeting on April 10.The annual report of the Montreal Lacrosse club which will be submitted at the annual meeting to be held on Aprill, ig a lengthy one, dealing with the workings of the team since the opening of the season till the trip in the winter to the States.Amongst other statements it goes on to say: \u201cOur American cousins are taking hold of the game with fresh energy and the coming geason will witness games played between teams from Brooklyn, Manhattan, New York, Staten Island, the Druids and others.In the near future inter national matches will be the rule an.not an exception.\u201d The report announce that H, R.H.Prince George of Wale has become a life member of the club The captains ofthe team are specially tbanked for theirservices.The questio of having anofficial timekeeper is raised and also the matter of amateur standing.The report recommends the following: The question of having an official time-keeper for matches played under the two hour system might be looked into with advantage as a refuree generally bas his time fully occupied looking after the players.The deciding of amateur standing of players should be left, as it now is, with the A.À.À.of C., this being the proper body to refer all charges of professional- jsm to; and we trust no change will be made in this respect.At the approaching convention of the N.À.L.A., to be held on April 10, in Montreal, notice has been given that the motion will be made to revoke Rule XIII of the Laws of Lacrosse relating to the senior championship, the old challenge system to be reverted to.This would not affect the senior league matches and would increase the number of matches to be played here, as no doubt the Shamrocks and Montreals would play for this championship.The following were the members of the team who played in championship matches last season: E.Sheppard played 4, captained 3; R.Cheype 8, A.Cameron 8, J.Wilkinson 7, J.Patterson 8, W.Spriggings 8, T.Carlind 8, J.Carlind 2, A.E, McNaughton 8, T.L.Paton 4, captained 1; George Baird 8, W.Geraghty 8, W.J.Cleghorn 1, captained 1; Dr.Shanks 6, J.A.Michaud 4, E.H, Brown captained 1, W.D.Aird captained 1, S.G.Waldron 1, J.Louson 2, C.King 1, F.M.Larmouth captained 1.The committee were of opinion that the supply of sticks should be orderedjat once and everything put in shape for early practising, so that a big push be made for first place this season.The club have been invited to play with the team of the New York Athletic Club.They will meet them during the trip to New York, when they go down to play at the opening of the Manhattan's new grounde.There seems, however, to bea great deal of opposition in some quarters to the challenge system coming in vogue again, and it is very probable that the game will be conducted similar to last year.Mr.McAnulty Accepts to Captaln th> Shamrocks.As stated in yesterday morning's Herald the Shamrock Lacresse Club would be in new hands this coming season as Mr.T.W.McAnulty, captain of the Crescents of last year, has accepted the captaincy of the team and it is cer- tein be will make every effort tn lead the club to victory.He gave his answer to the committee yesterday afternoon and at to-night's meeting ne will be unanimously accepted.Several persons were spoken to in reference to the naming of the new captain and all expressed themselves, as being more than satisfied with the proposed appointment of Mr.McAnulty.St.Gabriel Club Meeting.The annual meeting of the St.Gabriel Lacroese Club will be held to-night for election of officers and transaction of other business.The saints expect to put a strong team in the field again and will try bard for the junior championship.A Junior League in Toronto.A junior jacrosse league has been organized in Toronto.The clubs represented at the meeting held on Monday night were: Young Canadian, Maitland, Upper Canada College, Dominion, Tecumseh, Maple Leaf, Oriole, Athletics Second, Toronto Second.A committee was appointed to define a junior, and this report Was presented, which was adopted: \u2014\u201cA junior is a player who has never taken part in a district, intermediate, or genior chrmpionship match.\u201d After a lengthy discussion it was decided to limit the league\u2019s membership to seven clubs and} to elect by ballot.On the first ballot Toronto second was dropped, and on the next ballot Upper Canada College met a similar fate, thus leaving in these clubs: Young Canadian, Maitland, Dominion, Tecumseh, Maple Leaf, Oriole, Athletics.À committeo was appointed to report a name and the offices of the organization.\u201cThe Toronto Junior Lacrosse League\u201d was the title suggested, and the offices that of president, vice-president, to be filled by outsiders; secretary- treasurer and a committee of seven, composed of one member from each club.The C.L.A.rules, with the exception of its definition of & junior, were also recommended for adoption.The report was adopted.\u201cThe election of officers was postponed until the next meeting, which will be beld in a week.ee AQUATICS.A Very Favorable Outlook for Rowing This Season.H.W.Garfield of Albany, president o the National Association of Amateur Qarsmen, says: \u201c \u2018he outlook for rowing this year, 80 far as can be judged at this early day, is extremely favorable.There seem to be ndications of a genuine revival of inte rest in aquatics.The usual regattas will be held at the usual dates._ \u201cThe deplorable dispute be:wean the Paesaic River Association and the Harlem Regatta Association as to May 30 seems in a fair way of being amicably settled: The newly elected president of the Harlem Association is an active, energetic and popular gentleman, and it is generally believed be will be able to infuse new life into this time-honored organisation.\u201c At Newark new houses have been constructed, old and efficient officera reelected, and the prospects of a season of rare sport were never better in that locality.The Memorial day races it is ex= pected will attract more entries than ever, and the Middle States Association, one of the latest and one of the strongest of the prominent associations, which showed so phenomenal an entry ligt at its first regatta last summer, prom'sad to more than repeat 1te first success.\u201cIn Washington, where for years the \u2018three clubs have lived in astate of armed truce, a better state of feeling prevails and the Columbia Athletic, the Potomac Athletic, and the Analostan clubs have united in an invitation to the National association to hold the annual races on the Potomac.\u201cConsequently the national regatt.will be held at Washington during the month of August.The official announcement of the dates has not yet been made, but inasmuch as the executive comimit- tee of the national association formally voted in favor of Washington, when overtures were made by the District of Columbia Club at the January meeting, there is little doubt the national cham- plomship races will be rowed at the cap: 1tal, O'Connor Willing and Ready to Race Teemer Any Time.ToroNTo, March 24.\u2014\u201cBilly\u201d O'Connor was rather warm under the collar yesterday when he read in the morning papers of Teemer\u2019s challenge to row him at Point of Pines on May 30 for $1,000 a side.\u201cA sharp dodge on Teemer\u2019s part to advertise his race at that course with Hanlan,\u201d said the champion when commenting on the challenge.\u201cTeemer knows he can get on a race with me without leaving a deposit up for ten days.lam ready and willing to make a match, but you can rest assured it won\u2019t be rowed under Thayer's management at the Point of Pines.I am surprised and indignant at Teemer\u2019s bold ness, but the public can clearly see that Teemer\u2019s idea is to boom his forthcoming race at that place by bringing my name into what looks like a previously arranged affair.\u201d BILLIARDS, A New Game of Pool Played With a Shot Gun.Fifteen ball pool, played by shooting at the ivory spheres with a gun in order to pocket them, is the latest novelty, a table having been set up in a well-known cafe.The table is somewhat narrower than the ordinary pool table, with numbered pockets at the upperend, into which the struck balls fall, returning on an inclined plane under the table to pockets bearing corresponding numbers at the end where the players stand.The novelty of the game consists in shooting at the balls with an air gun, both when the ivories are first massed and after being scattered, the air rifle carrying a wooden ball.FOOTBALL A Crisis in the History of Association Football in Scotland.A crisis in the history of Association football in Scotland has arrived, the League and Scottish Association having fallen out over the refusal of the former to allow the members of their clubs to take part in their international trials.The selection committee of theS.F.À.are, it is said, determined to stand firm and ifso the teams for the engagements with the other countries will be drawn from a limited scope and prove far from representative.The lesgue are willing to let off men for the Intsrnationals, but the essociation will not allow the former body to dictats as to when the team may play outside their clubs and when not.prets HOCKEY.Le L, & Globe Defeat the Guarantee at Victoria Rink.There was an interesting match played between these teams in the Victoria Rink last night.The ice was in very poor

excited the interest of Bob Fitzsimmons, the middle-weight champion.Fitz was told that he could'nt make a shoe that Blatt would not pull apart.The lanky New Zealander seemed to consider such a statement a slur upon his ability as a blacksmith.He sniffed a bit and then offered to bet that he could turn out a shoe that Blatt could not break, or that two locomotives could not pull apart.Blatt heard of the offer, and on Saturday put up $150 at The Police Gazette office, with a memorandum gaying that any time Fitzsimmons covered the money he would bet $500 on himself against Fitz\u2019s shoe.The champion was notified.Zoe Dayton\u2019s Walk, PoucuxEresix, March 24.\u2014Zoe Gayton the female j-edestrian who left San Fraa- cisco Aug.27,1890, to walk to New York by April 9, on a wager

the same is the case with the rest of the party.All are enjoying good appetites.\u201d Richard K.Fox will be the referee at the finish.PEDESTRIANISM, Guerrero Says be Withdrew Because he Suspected a Fizzle, The New York Sun says: Gus Guerrero\u2018and his trainer, \u201c Happy Jack,\u201d John Burns, Noremac, and several others who had taken part in the 6-day go-as-you- please burlesque were found at the Putnam House yesterday afternoon, Although Guerrero had dropped out of the race on the third day, because, as he now says, he believed it would result in a fizzle, he seemed fo be thoroughly posted as to the future plans of the walkerg, and bad more to say than any one else.He said there was/hardly any doubt that the $10,000 or what remained of it after paying some minor expenses would be divided according to the agreement made with the entries.The $9000, more or less, would be paid over at3 p.m.to-day.After this matter is settled mcst of those who entered the match are going to Boston to engage in the 6-day walk which is to begin there on April 13, Jobn Hughes, the winner, is the only one of the walkers who is not already in excellent condition.He has suffered

betting flourished from 1820 up to 1880.In the fifties the rage became so great that books were opened on yearlings for the Derby two years in advance of the race, 1,000 to 1 being laid.The wildest speculation raged.It was no uncommon thing for an owner to take $100,000 out of the ring, and Mr.Ten Broeck stood to win $500,- 000 if his American-bred Umpire had won the Derby of 1860.When Lecturer won the Cesarewitch in 1866 the Marquis of Hastings won $260,000, the Duke of Beaufort $60,000, Mr.Wilkenson $75,000, John Day $100,600, Foy and William Wright (stable commissioners) $40,000 and

meeting of the League of American Wheelmen held Jast month, when James R.Dunn was re-elected president of that organ.izatiom, bicyclists have been displaying unusual activity as to the movements of the head of that body in the way of his selection of officers.It was understood that C.S, Davol bad declined to accept the office of chairman of the Racing Board for another term, and as this position is one of the most important in the league it was thought that Mr.Dunn would exercise great discretion in his selection of a substitute for Mr.Davol, but the aa- nouncement in The Sun of yestarda of the appointment of C.S.Randall to the position, while verifying the rumor which has been going the rounds, is condemned by the eastern wheelmen.Mr.Randall 1s a resident of Chicago, while it was the impression bat, in the face of the difficulties with he racing men here in the east and the rrapgement of an alliance with the A.A.U.and L.À.W., ail of which will have to be adjusted by the Racing Board, Mr.Dunn would have given the preferance to » man in this locality.It is now the hope that Mr.Randall will select for his constituents on the National Board men who are throughly familiar with the existing difficulties surrounding the L.A.W.While no action has been taken by the League of American Wheelmen on the matter of an alliance with the Amateur Athletic Union, on account of the absence of President Dunn, it is the general impression among the wheelmen that the form of alliance as proposed by the A.A.U.is a very fair one and should be adopted by the league.This is not a step toward an amalgamation scheme, as supposed, but on the contrary is simply a movement for the adjustment of suspensions and other difficulties which may arise between the two bodies.\u2014Sun.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 QUOITS, Hall Will Have His Challenge accepted (3.The Conditions of the Match, BY OUR SPECIAL SERVICE, New York, March 24.\u2014Joseph Hall, who challenged

report from Rock Ledge, Fla., that Michael F.Dwyer, the junior member of the old firm of Dwyer Brothers, has bought the Indian River Hotel property of J.M.Lee fur $100,000 gives credence to the

pugilist, now in Australia, is receiving great praise for the showing he made in bis recent battle with Joe Goddard, the Barrier champion, who bested Jackson in eight rounds.The Australian steamer

thero are still some eight competitors who rank a head of him according to the,expert\u2019sgrading and consequently he stands no chance of winning the grand prize.Questioned ¢5 to whether there would be any reference made to the collapse of the Y.M.C.A.building by those who denied the superiority of American architectural talent, Mr.Walbank eaid that he did not wish to make capital out of another man\u2019s misfortune, but the incident, coupled with a similar collapse of tha Board ofTrade building in Toronto, might Le used as an argument, but not by him.He was never opposed ts fre> trade in talent, but he did resent what he considered unfair discrimination.es The Fraser Institute Library.Æditor Herald: Your remarks under above heading have excited much attention.Yousay: \u201cHere is au institution endowed by a departed citizen;

disposition to favcr the Grand Trunk, but justice demands that we should express our \u2018| opinion of the conduct of Sir Charles Tupper and his outrageous statements in reference to that institution.Toat this gentleman, wbo is a paid employe of the Governmeat, shoull deliberately leave his office in London and launch himself into the contest in a Dominion election and be justified in so doing can scarcely be believed by ary dispassionate man.But he has done it and has villified in & most unjustifiable way an ipstitution that has done great service to Canada \u2014 interfering with the liberty of the electors of the country.It is well-known that we are no especial friends of the Grand Trunk, but in common justice to that company we must say that the course pursued by Mr.Seargeant in refusing to mix up his company in a political contest is one that the public justifies.One thing the public should demand and, that is the immediate removal of Sir Charles Tup- per from his present position, for his out- ragecus course in the recent elections.As a matter of justice to the Grand Trunk we, who have opposed them for years, give this as our honest opinion.il A NEW POLITICAL FORCE.It appears that one of the objects of the new Conservative club recently organised in Montreal, is the purification of election contests\u2014a very praiseworthy object to have in view.One of the methods to be adopted, it is said, will be the exclusion from membership of the Tory heelers who organised the oppo- tition to Sir Donald Smith in the recent election campaign.No doubt the experience of the last election has vividly impressed upon the members of the clab tte meed of reform in political campaigns.As at present cone ducted, even apart from illegitimate expenditure, they are entirely too costly to candidates ard their friends.The plan of making candidates pay handsomely for their seats in Parliament has several bad effects.First, it opens wide the doors of Parliament to unscrupulous men whose only qualifications may be their wealth or their having a \u201cpull\u201d upon the party.When mea of this stamp find their way into Parliament and pay handsomely for it, they generally devise some way of getting their money back and directly or indirectly are reimbursed out of the public treasury or are allowed to boodle it out of the public domain\u2014the inside history of the Cypress Hills timber limits furnishing a very pertinent and interesting illustration.Representatives of that kind bring disgrace upon Parliament and the country and generally are the men who are ready to sacrifice the interests of the people at the nod of the wealthy monopolist.Their motto is, \u201cmake hay while the sun shines,\u201d the country footing the bill.The value of such men as representatives is infinitesimal.Another evil connected the vicious methods in vogue in election contests is that they demoralize the electorate, , actually teaching them to look upon the franchise privilege as a merchantable commodity, instead of being regarded, as it is, a sacred trust, for the honest and honorable exercise of which every man should realize his responsibility.It is needless to dwell upon th's point.Compelling candidates to pay hand.scmely for getting; into Parliament, apart from the moral enormity of the practice, is very short-sighted, In nine cases out of ten such men can hardly be expected to give the people honest representation.Their first and natural care will be to look out for them- telves, and even their legitimate efforts on behalf of their constituents will be warped by their being obliged to keep a vigilant eye on the main chance\u2014the prospects of their own candidature.If the people want honest representation\u2014 if they want to see boodling and corrupt wire-pulling and all the unscrupulous methods to which they have given rise, eliminated from Canadian public life, they must elect their representatives free of expense, or at least comparatively so.If it be necessary to spend one, two or three thousand dollars for legitimate purposes in an election contest, the party, not the candidate, should furnish the money.If this principle were acted upon by political parties\u2014and the active and influential men of parties can enforce it if they will \u2014and if personal canvassing were placed uncer the ban of the election law as an illegal practice, a great step forward would ke taken in the purification of election contests.But then what will be the use of the active and influential men of political parties adopting such methods, if the Government cf the coun- country is to be permitted to do by wholesale the work of corruptly influencing the electorate\u2014promising expenditure of public money on public works in constituencies in return for political support, or threatening to withhold legitimate expenditure because political support is refused.That is one of the most infamous of all illegitimate election methods becauss i is one which the law cannot reach.Take two striking examples, When the election campaign of 1887 opened B8ir Charles Tapper saw tLat the Government were in dauger of losing three counties in Nova Scotia\u2014Picton, Colchester and Cumberland\u2014because promises made in connection with the Oxford-New Glasgow railway enterprise THE MONTREAL HERALD, WEDNESDAY.MARCH 25, 1891.\" hed not been carried out.Tupper was equal to the emergency.He pledgsd the Government te build that railway and defray the cost out of the public treasury.The bait tcok ; the three counties remained Tory and the country has had to foot the bill for a purely local line to the amount of $2,000,000.There is no need to comment on so indefensible a transaction as that.Then take the last election campaign.In the addresses of candidates, particularly those on the Conservative side of politics, it will be found that nine cout of ten candidates who appealed to \u201cthe free and independent \u201d made their principal plank, the securing of soms rew public work for the advantage of their coveted copstituents.It is quite probable that many of the pledges,owinæ to the defeat of the persons who volun- teereéd them, are non-fulfillable.There is, for example, the note of hand of Mr.Chateauvert, in Quebec city, for the desired St.Lawrence bridge and the removal of the million dollar incubus upon the North Shore Railway\u2014engagements which were not mede without the knowledge, if not the sanction, of the Government.Then there was Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s promise that Quebec would be made the terminus of the fast Atlantic mail service, though it is a notorious fact that a similar promise had been previously made to Halifax and St.John.The object of making such a promise was to secure the defeat cf Mr.Langelier and the election of Mr.Chateauvert.The prof- ered bribe baving failed no doubt the Government will hold itself absolved from carrying out Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s promise\u2014at least that will be in strict accordance with their views of political morality.It is no new thing to find Tupper\u2019s political notes of hand going to protest ; numbers of them have gone that way since 1878.If the new Conservative club of Montreal is going to enter honestly and bear- tily into tbe work of purifying elections, it ig to be hoped it will place under its ban the illegitimate and corrupt election methods pursued by Sir John Macdonald\u2019s Government in bribing constituencies by wholesale, or as Sir John himself put it, bribing the people with there money\u2014a few pertinent illustrations of which we bave given above.THE LAND QUESTION- British Columbia has a land question.It is the old case of speculating syndicates being allowed to purchase large tracts of land, ostensibly for stock-rais- ing purposes, which has led to immense sections being almost depopulated.The Vancouver Daily News-Advertiser charges the Government with discriminating in favor of the large speculator or stockman, as against the farmer and settler, and substantiates the charge by showing that while in the bill now before the Legislature amending the land laws it is proposed raise the price of agricultural land to %o per acre, or to just double the present price, the amount to be paid for pastoral grazing lands remains as at present at $1 an acre.The obvious effect of such legislation must be to hinder the settlement of farmers and to lock up large tracts of the public domain in the hands of speculators.So far as stock-raising purposes are concerned it would be very much better for the British Columbia Govern- mentto lease the land, subject to sale for agricultural purposes with reasonable compensation to lessees.This system of disposing of large tracts of grazing land at a nominal price is a very vicious one from two points of view.The steady ircrease in price which must result from the growth of population and other causes inures to the benefit of the speculators, not of the public treasury, while the Government baving absolutely parted forever with control of the land loses the opportunity of placing settlers on it.Our Vancouver contemporary points out that these evils can be avoided by leasing, not selling, land for grazing purposes.It claims that these lands can be leased at a rental which will bring in a larger revenue than the interest which would be derived by the Government on the amount obtained for the sale of the land, while at the same time the stockman gets the use of it at a less cost than if he had been compelled to purchase it.When a lease expires, it can either be renewed at the same or a larger rental or the land can be opened for subdivision or settlement ag the circumstances may seem to show is the most desirable in the public interests.There can be no doubt that the Vancouver paper is right.It is probable that most ofthe Provinces have suffered to some extent from having valuable agricultural lands locked up in the hands of speculators, and if it can the British Columbia Legislature should guard against such an unwise policy being fastened upon that Province, Manitoba and the Northwest furnish very pertinent illustrations of the evils of such a policy.Large tracts of land are in the bands of railway companies which seem to be doing very little to promote steady and rapid eet- tlement ; while speculators who have got control of large tracts of farming and wooded land are holding it for fancy prices and thus very effectively blocking settlement.This point was noted and very severely criticised in an interview by one of the British farmer-delegates whe visited the Northwest last autumn, \u2014_\u2014 TRADE WITH HAWAII According to a San Francisco despatch there is likely to be a disagreement between the United States and Hawaii over the new commercial treaty,and the Queen and her Cabinet are said to be looking to Canada and Australia with a view to arranging with those countries a treaty cn lines similar to the old treaty between the United States and Hawaii.The Canadian Government might do worse than mattar some sttention.tbe United States and Hawaii has been very profitable to both countries, and if Canada could secure the trade of those islands it would probably be of more value to us than ali the trade we can get with the West Indies under existing circumstances.Just now, however, 8ir John is probably too busy in figuring out how he is going to keep his bungry snd quarrelling family in order, and speculating whether or not it is worth while to send reciprocity delegates to Washington on what several Tory or- gens say will be & wild-goose chase; while several Cabinet Ministers are spending half their time In making vicious passes with sharp instruments at each others\u2019 political throats.While these pertorm- ances are going on trade with Hawaii, Newfoundland and the United States can wait.re UNJUSTIFIABLE EXPENDITURES.The Auditor General's report, as already noted, contains some interesting details of expenditure.It reveals the fact that not only did the people of Canada pay Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s subscrip- give this ial Institute in London, to the amount ot 820.60, but also that the Chief Suaper- bad his club dues paid by the country, swelling the deficit on that road by the amount so paid\u2014$30 to the Halifax Club and $26 to the Rideau Club.Now, if it is right that the clab dues of Sir Cbaries Tupper and the Chief Superintendent of the I.C R., should be paid out of the Dcminion Treasury, how can the Government refuse to pay the clab dues of any other public official who sacures admission into such institutions ?It may be gaid that amounts of this kind are comparatively small, but they represent abuses which have been cresping into the public expenditure fir years past, and if transactions of this kind are not exposed and checked, the whole vicious system will be aggravated.Why should the taxpayers of Canada be compelled to pay for such luxuries for public officials who are in the receipt of band- some salaries, who have house rent and furnishings free, and have also every cent of their travelling expenses\u2014 even the \u201ctips\u201d to the hotel waiters\u2014 paid out of the trezsury out of the money wrung by taxation from the pockets of the people?Expenditures of this kind are a swindle upon the people of Canada.It is to be hoped that they will get a thorough raxirg up at the approaching session of Parliament, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 EDITORIAL NOTES.Tuixcs must be getting somewhat mixed in Tory rin\u2014circles, we mean, at Ottawa, when prominent Conservativas suggest with approval the possibility of a coalition fovernment on the lines laid down in Blaky\u2019s

Glasgow Railroad in order to save the counties of Pictou, Colchester and Cumberlaad from going Liberal.Sir John Macdonald bad tocarry out the corrapt bargain and the country bad to pay for it.HAMILTON SPECTATOR: We challenge The Herald to produce any reasonable testimony in support ot the idea that any treaty of reciprocity with the United States could be made except on condition that the tariffs of the two countries would be identical, and that the United States would have the advantage of their superior weight in making those tariffs.Sir Charles Tupper, on the other hand, says a satisfactory treaty can be secured, but than Sir Charles is a\u2014well, a great stretcher.If The Spectator believes what it says it should at once ask Sir John Macdonald to send Sir Charles Tapper back to London and to keep Sir John Thor pson and Hon.Mr.Foster at home for the present.THE GAZETTE: cial says a number of Ontario farmers and their families, who settled in South Dakota some eight years ago, passed through Winni- siniboia Territory, with six carloads of stock.The Commercial adds that one hundred families of these Canadians are expected from Dakota in three weeks, bound for Yorkton.These are tae people, or some of them, who were driven ont of Manitoba and the Northwest by the infamous adwin- istration of Sir John Macdonald\u2019s extraordinary land laws in 1880 to 1884 and everybody will be pleased to know that they are coming back.But unfortunately the exodus from Eastern Canada and particularly from the Maritime Provinces continues and threatens to assume larger proportions than ever.How deeperate was the attempt made to secure the election of ex-Senator Howlan inPrince County, P.E.L., is shown by a fact which recently came to light.Not only was the attempt made to bribe the Province en bloc with the tunnel project, but a strong effort was made to induce Mr.Perry to retire.Mr.Perry, who is ccmparatively speaking, a poor man, states that after he had been formally placed in the field by the Liberals he was offered a senatorship, the office of paymaster in the P.E.Island railway\u2014a Government work\u2014and also $10C0 in cash if he would retire from the contest.This was in line with the attempt made to bribe Dr.Mousseau to retire from the contest in Soulanges, and with the offer of a Senatorship made to a Liberal candidate in Manitoba for a similar purpose.Mr.Perry spurned the bribes and the peo;le elected him .by 300 majcrity.inteudert of the Intercolonial Railway : peg last week on their way to Yorkton, Âs-.The trade batween Ÿ \u2018tion was

who seems to be so deeply concerned for the welfare of the English sbarehold- ers in the Grand Trunk Railway.What is Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s record in this country ?Has he ever warned investors against the many worthless Canadian schemes which have from time to time been placed in this country ?We do not remember ever having heard his voice except on one occasion, and that was in a case in which we ourselves took some interest.About 18 montbs ago à company was promo'ed in Eagland called the \u201cCanadian (Direct) Meat Company.\u201d His advice then was quite contrary to what itsbould bave beer.Acting upon reliable information which we had in our pcssession, we publicly denounced this company.Oo the very day thatthe prospectus was advertised the following letter from Sir Charles Tupper appear:d in a daily coatemporary :\u2014 17 Victoria-stre et, Westminster, S.W.Nov.16, 1859.DFAR MR, ISAACs\u2014In reply to your letter -of yesterday, I beg to say that, although the position I occupy precludes my expressing an opinion upon any proposed company, I cannot but regard with much interest the pro- sal to bring the great meat supply that \u2018Canada is able to produce in more immediate contact with the consumers in this country.Considering the cost of meat in Canada, and the price here, together with the faciii- ties for placing it in this market in prime condition, I cannot but think that a well managed company ought to make a good profit, and at the same time ba of great service both to Canada and the consumers here.\u2018Wishing you every success in this important enterprise, I remain dear Mr, Isaacs, yours faithfully, CH ARLES TUPPER.Joseph M.Isaacs, Esq, It should be mentioned that Sir Hector Langevin, a member of the Canadian Government, was named on the prospectus 8s ore of the managing committee of the \u201cDirect\u201d Meat Company in Canada.We commend the atteation of our readers to the concluding sentence, \u201cWishing you every success in this 1m- portaut enterprise.\u201d In eonsequence of the warning articles which appeared in The Statist, two of the promoters\u2014or rather one of the directors and the soli itor of the company\u2014wers sent out t) Canada to investigate the truth of our remarks (this being the outcome of a meeting whieh resul'ed from our articles, Sir William Marriott being in the chair).\u2018We were vigorously denounead, and refused admission to the meeting, which resolved to investigate the statements we made, but the \u201cmissionaries\u201d who where sent out to Canada did not take very long to discover.that everything we had said about \u201cthis important enterprise\u201d was absolately true, and on their return they advised the immediate liquidation of the company.Unfortunately, before our remarks were thoroughly appreciated in this country, about £94000 of calls outof the total capital of £350,000 had been paid in, the whole of the £350,000 having been taken up by the public, and we have no doubt tbat Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s letter had a great deal to do with this succes.Fortunately, as we have shown, only £94, 000 was paid in, and of this amount we believe that about half was parted with very hastily to the vendor, who was to receive £150,000 out of the total capital of £350,000 for his precious concession of 100 acres of land alongside the St.Lawrence River.This \u201cconcession,\u201d we believe, has since been offered to another company for £5000, its original cost to the vendor being just nothing! .In liquidation proceedings last week in the Court of Chancery a curious revelation was made.It seems that out of tbe £150,000 in cash and fully-paid Bhares which was to be paid to the vendor \u201cdear Mr, Isaacs\u201d was to ra- ©eivedg £50,000 in cash and £70,000 in shares, £120,000 altogether! It will, therefore, be seen how very valueble Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s letter was likely to prove to Mr.Isaacs, and itis well known this letter was thoroughly well used by those who were inviting subscriptions for the stares, We think that befors the Grand Trunk shareholders allow their minds t» be influenced by the attacks of Sir Charles Tupper upon their company they had better read between the lines, and ascertain for themsalves in whose interests he is now attacking the Grand Trunk Company.+ Ifthe\u2018effect of Mr.Seargeant\u2019s manifesto is to promote a friendly feeling between the United States Government aud the Grand Trunk Railway Company, the interests of the Grand Trunk shareholders will be better served than they would have been had Mr, Sergeant held his hand.As to the effect upon Canadian rail- Ways of a Reciprocity Treaty between Canada and the United States, it should Dot take a business man very long to understand that the abolition ot the Custom Houses between the two countries Would probably very nearly double the traffic of the Grand Trunk Railway.We are ro annexationists, and we do not Want to lose Canada ; we are simply regarding the matter from the common Sense standpoint of men of busi- ners, There is.no doubt that when Congress assembles the McKinley tariff\u201d will be greatly modified.f 80, we would ask any reasonable man, Who understavds interchange of traffie, on which rajlway companies depend sn largely for their profits, whether it would not ba better for Canada to have unre- strict>d reciproci y with theU niteëd Stat-s, With & moderare tariff at the seaboard ?Fer be it from vs to recommend such a view while the McKinley tariff lasts ; but the Mckinley tariff \u20188 not a thing which will last very long, and we ventura to entertain the view that with onrestrictd_reci;rocity Canada wonld prosper, aud she would become evena bet er gcustomer to Great Britain than she is tr-dav.8 far as the Cansdian railways are concerned, unrestricted interchuuge of business would prob tly double their American traffic.Th's is the direction to which things ace tending, whether we like it or not, and a peaceful solution of this great question would not only be a blessing to Canada, but a'so to the Mother Couotry.Since the foregoing was writen we are in possession of Sir Henry Tyler's letter to the prees.from which 1t appears that Bir Charles Tupper having failed to seduce Mr.Seargeant to throw the weight of the Grand Trunk Company\u2019s influence on his side, turned round, and makes what we consider a very unfair attack on the Grand Trunk Railway Company.We commend the consideration of this fact to the attention of the English pro- rietors of the Grand Trunk of Canada ailway Company.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CANADIAN RAILWAYS AND THE ELECTIONS._ From The Railway News, The following letter from Sir Henry Ty'er, dealing with the unmerited attack of Sir Charles Tupper on the Grand Trunk Railway, has been forwarded to us for publication :\u2014 To the Editor of The Railway News.ER, \u2014I have read the \u201c bitter attack,\u201d 88 ic is properly termed, which Sir Charles Tupper, the Canadian High Commissioner, who recently left tais country to assist in the Canadian elec- tious, made cn the Grand Trunk Railway Company in a speech delivered at Amherst, Nova Scotia, on March 9.Bpeakiog four days after the elections, and stiil laboring evidently under considerable excitement, he alleges, if he 18 correctly reported, that I and the office s and servants of the company, whom he calls \u201ccraven Grand Trunk creatures,\u201d have \u2018\u2018\u2019united with the enemies of Canada, in the United States and out of them, to play the game of the United States to destroy Canada \u201d ; and he says much more in the same strain.This \u201cflash and outtreak of a fiery mind\u201d might be almost pardoned during the heat of an election, but rather savours of \u201ca mind diseased\u201d when the battle has been fought and won.After such events, even less distinguished politicians, and all sensible stat:smen, hastan to forget any extravagances of expression, and cease to dwell upon annoyances, either suppose or 16al.I most now ask for enough of your space to exposa all the; inaccuracies to which 8'r Charles Tupper is reported to have committsd himself, I shall, however, be fully prepared to reply to them at the proper time and on a suitabls oc- Casion.As regards the votes which may have been given by the officers and employees of the company, I have no in- formrtion; but I have before me a document, just received from Canada, which affords a clue to Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s excessive indignation, in the shape of à practical verbatim report of au interview between Sir Charles Tupper and Mr.Seargeant, the general manager of the Grand Trunk Railway, a week before the electiona.Sir Charles Tupper called on Mr.8 argeant st his house in Montreal at 1 o'clock on Feb.25, represeating how true a friend he had been and continued to ba, to the Grand Trank Company, stating that he had complimentarily ref ried to it as being the pioneer company in recent addreeses, and, whenever occasion occurred, on tthe other (this side of the Atlantic.Buttbere was now, he g ated, a great issue before the country, and it was extremely desirable tbat the Grand Trunk Company stould announce its policy to sustain tha present Government, inasmuch as there bad been an idea that the feeling of the employees of the Grand Trank Company was not altogether in that direction, and it would be very gratifying to him (Sir Charles Tupper) if Mr, Seargeant would say that this was a mistake, and tbat, on the contrary, the Government had the sympatby of himself and the employees ofthe company.Mr.Saargeant explained that, personally, if he had any leaning in the course of his busy business career, he had been a Conservative (which Sir Charles Tupper was delighted to hear), but in his present position his politics were Grand Trunk litics, and he had it clearly before im that the only course wbich he could take consistently with the feeling of the board was one of non-intervention (from which Sir Charles Tupper dissented).Mr.Beargeant referred to the petition which had been made to the Government by 11,000 shareholders of the Grand Trunk Company, and he did not think that it would be politic or proper for him to issue any definits instructions on behalf of the board to the, officers and employes of the company.He suggeste that such instructions would in ali probability be resented by them, and wight lead to results the opposite of those which were contemplated.Mr.Seargeant added that he was aware that the Canadian Pacific Company had taken direct and pronounced action in support of the Government, and he had even ten informed that in connection with at least one election an order had beeu issued on bebalf of that company t» vote for the Government candidate undet pain cf dismissal from the service, He certainly could not take such a course, either from his own standpoint, or mav- ing regard to the non-interference policy of the board.The question of the coal duties was discussed at this interview.Sir Charles Tupper admitted that they were no doubt onerous on the company.Mr.Seargeant informed him that they involved a payment of $300,000 to $400,000 (say £60,000 to £80,000) a year, an amount which would, if taken off, enable the company handsomely to increase its dividends; and he pointed out that, if that duty were taken off, the eastern coal- owners might have a much lar- gor market, and might be able successfully to cope with the United States competition along the coast as far ag, at least, Boston, and at interior New England points, and at Portland, where there was a demaud for coal at.the present time.Coal was also required on tbe Atlantic division cf the Grand Trunk, and a very large market might be opened to eastern coal proprietors, whilst the Grand Trunk and manufacturing industries of Canada would be largely bene- fitt-d.Sir Charles Tupper stated that heknew Sir John Macdonald was in favor of tte ramova! of the coal duty, but was obliged to admit that h's son (Mr.Tupper, the Minister of Fisheries) had differed from Sir John on that point, and added, \u201cYou must remamber that he was at the time addressing an audience interested in the retention of the duty.\u201d The question of a subsidy for lines to be ccrstracted in New Brunswick in the Grind Trunk interest, with the view to a cennection with Halifax and St.John, was also referred t , S r Churles Tupper Stating that no personal pledge could be given on the subject further than that the matter would be brought before the cebivet on the first occasion of their meetirg, which would ve after tae elac- tions.After & long discussion Sir Charles Tupper concluded with \u201ca warm appeal for the support of the Grand Trunk company in the present emergency, and promised that the company should, in the event of the present Guvernment being sustained, receive the fullest and moet friendly support if and when it st ould be required.\u201d This interview and Mr.Seargeant\u2019s report upon it would never have been again referred to if Sir Charles Tupper had not thought proper to daliver tne speech under discussion, and I mach regret that I am now compeiled to refer it.To put the matter in the mildest light, it reveals the too obvious reas os which actuated Sir Charles Tupper in making his speach.Sir Charles Tupper comes, it will be seen, cap in hand to Mr.Seargent a fow days before tue elections, saying everything that is complimentary to the Grand Trunk, and representing himselfas its true friend, in the hope ot inducing Mr.Seargeant to issue ine structions to his officers and employes to vote for the Government; and because Mr.Se.rgeant, though expressing his personal predilection a3 in favor of tha nservative policy could not consistently with the irstructions of the bard and his duty to the sompany cocrsent to issue the in- ttructions thus required of him, Bic Cnarles Tupper delivers, à few days afte - tLe ele tions, a speech condemning, on falee premises, the whole action of the Grand Trunk Company for many years past, and smiting the company, \u201chip and tuigh\u201d with all the invective of which he isso able a master.Without further laboring the subject, I will only say in conclusion that Her Majesty has no more loyal subjects in the Dominion than the officers and employes of the Grand Trunk Company ; that I personally\u2014and I may say the same of my co-directors\u2014have no other titics in Canada than those of tne +rand Trunk ; and that I have neyer to my knowledge ever seen any of the leading gentlemen connected with the praseat Oppcsition.My co-directrrs aad [ hava, inveed, personally much sympathy with Sir John Macdonald, whom we must all admire for his ability and resource, in , occupying a very difficult position, hovw- ever much we may sometimes disagree with him when it is our duty to advocate, as we always do, the interests of the Grand Trunk Company, have no means of knowing, and I do not desire to ascertain, how our officers and men bave individually thought prorer to vote, any more than L should interfere in this country with the votes of those who are connected with industrial enterprises with which I am associated.If their vo'es have, as Sir Charles Tupper suggests, been in some instances cast against the Governmeat on {his occasion, I do not think that the members of the Canadian Government will be less disposed in the futura than tl ey have been in the past to act fairly by the Grand Truok Company.I even believe that the company will be in a bes- ter position with regard to the Government, in consequence of any indepandi- ent action wbich may have been taken by their employees than if Mr.Sergeant had, as Bir Charles Tupper wishei, exhibited subserviency and issued instrac- tions to them to vote in favor of the Government.Mr.Seargeant has, as he informed Sir Charles Tupper, a delicate and difficult position to fill, having regard to all interests, and he has performed, and is carrying out, his duties in this and other respects in a wuy that deserves the approbation aud support of every one connected with the company.\u2014I am, sir, your obedient servant, H.W.TyiEg, President Grand Trunk Railway.Grand Trunk Railway Company o° Canada, Dashwood House, 9 New Broai- street, London, E.C.,

Favor\u2014Tampering With the Gloves\u2014 Elbow and Knee Tricks.There are probably hundredsbf &icks of the ring, by the use ol some of which unscrupulous fighters may often turn the tide of the battle in ther favor; and there are other tricks which may be used to advantage by honest apd square boxers.This latter class of trigks of cleverness, however, are not prohibited by any of the rules governing sparring contests, and so can be practiced with impunity by those who know and are disposed to takeadvantage of them.When a contest is for a large amount of money theru is a graut temptation to some of these who have money at stake to try and give their favorite the advantage in some way.Often this is done by tampering with the glovés, A boxer cannot be too careful in regard to this, and both he and his seconds should keep an eye on the opponent's corner to see that nothing is done to the gloves.One of the commonest methods of tampering with gloves is what is known as \u2018\u2018wringing\u201d them, This is done by working all of the hair away from the centre and into the fingers and back of the glove, This leaves it so that when the hand is closed there is very little hair covering the hitting portion of the hand.If the gloves are four-ounce ones and are well \u201cwrung\u201d there will not be as much hair covering the knuckles as there would ordinarily be in two-ounce gloves.Consequently the blows delivered, not being cushioned, will do more damage.Perhaps the easiest as well as the most dangerous method of tampering with he gloves is by placing some sort of drug upon them which when placed against either the eyes or nostrils of the other man will affect him badly, either deadening him or blinding him for a moment or two, when the mau with the drugeed gloves would have time and the opportunity to either knock his man out or gain a lead which 3 would be next to impossible for the dr.!zged man to overcome, Some who read this may smile and say that this method of tampering with the gloves would be next to impos sible in its accomplishment without being observed by some one.If one is disposed to be unfair, however, it is very easy to do, as when the principal is in his corner and his seconds are working on him it would te possible for the second to pour the contents, 0: a portion of it, of a half-ounce vial ujam the pugilist\u2019s side or thigh.Then what would be more natural than for the man to rub or scratch his side or thigh with the end of his glove.As a matter of course it is unfair whew two boxers are clinched for either one of them to strike when breaking away.It is often done intentionally and is passed over by the referee on the supposition that frequently a man in the excitement of the moment forgets himself and delivers thie blow without the, least intention of doing anything unfair.Now, in my battle with Jack Dempsey, and when we were breaking away, he hit me, but I firmly believe it was an unintentiorzal blow, and he immediately excused himself.Unlike him, however, there are pugilists who strike the blow intentionally every time they get a chance, and then say it was an accident.Then there are many tricks which can be done with the elbow or knee.Of course they are fouls and should be claimed by the man upon whom they are practised.Nevertheless, unscrupulous pugilists often use the elbow when clinched, placing it against their opponent's throat and forcing his head back, or in the pit of his stomach and pressing it with all their strength right at the point where it will do the most damage to their antagonist's wind.It is at close quarters also that the knee is used, aud a blow from it often passes either unobserved by most of the outsiders and the referee, or is done so adroitly that it looks as if it were an accident.Another trick which has been used very snccessfully by some boxers when contesting under London prize-ring rules, is when wrestling with an opponent to make it a point to fall heavily on top of him, crushing the wind out of him as much as possible.Then some tricky fighters, when they feel tired and want Lo gain time and wind, will fall down when only the faintest suspicion of a blow is struck, and sometimes without being struck at all, thereby being enabled to take their ten seconds on the floor and get just so much rest.I considér feinting the greatest of all thelegitimate tricks of the ring, and it is a proficiency in feinting which makes a pugilist clever more than anything else There are an almost gum- berless variety of feints\u2014in fact they are too numerous to describe, &l I don\u2019t know-as they are describable, so that\u2019a person so unaccustomed to ##ing sparring would be able to understand what was meant.Feinting can only be learned by practice and experience.There van be feints with both hands\u2014 at the heart, etc.Such blows as the piv«= and t.% shift I consider tricks of the ring and they are very good tricks, too, if one knows how to do them well, and the bis delivered by these two methods are aimncug the most powerful and effective tivit can be hit.\u2018What is known as the shift to boxers can be accomplished in several ways.The first is to feint with your left, then step in toward your opponent, placing the right foot in front of the left, and at the same time change the position of the arms, bringing the right up across the face with the elbow pointed toward your opponent.The left should have been brought back when you stepped in with your right, and should immediately be let go at your antagonist\u2019s hedd or stomach, whichever you think can be reached the easiest.As you strike, the Puritan and 01d Chum Plug Cut Smoking Tobaccos.The increate in sales of thess two brands is

and your body swinging with the blow will give it great force, while Your left foot is brought back into its proper position as the body is swung around toward the right.The head should be slightly bent forward in.doing the shift, The second method is to wait until your opponent leads with his left, then immediately bringing the left foot behind the right, pointing the right elbow as before, with the left hand in front of thestomach.Strike at once with the left for the face or stomach, at the same time bringing up the left foot to its proper position.Another way is when you are infighting, place your head close to your op- ponenÿs breast.Take your time and change your position slowly, as he cannot ht you much while your head is wlose in to his breast.The blow you give in this case is a half-arm cross upper-cut for the right point of adversary\u2019s chin.In every case where the shift blow is delivered the boy should turn to the right, with the head slightly bent forward, as the blow is struck.The knees should be well bent while the body is swinging with the blow, and the teeth should be tightly clased, Regarding the pivot blow, I want to say, first of all, that it is a very dangerous blow, and should neverbe practised wlen sparring with a friend.If it is done properly there is nothing in the rules which prohibits its use, but if one dges not know how to do it right he had best wot attempt it at all, as he will only hurt himself and perhaps commit a bad foul.I'& aps the best wav is to wait until your ad-rersary leads with his left, instantly st® it with your left, and as you ai\u201d stopping it turn or pivot with the right arm slightly bent and the palm of the hand turned down and the hand closed.If you have calculated right the right side of the right hand should land good and hard on the right side of your adversary\u2019s jaw or on his jugular.A different way of delivering the blow is by trying to get your opponent torun after you.Let him get as close as possible, and when within reach spin around as quickly as possible.This isthe way.I believe, that Jack Dempsey was defeated by George La Blanches The proper way to pivot is to turn or spin around.on the ball of the left foot, lifting the right foot from the ground and swing it around.This will add £.\\ ze to your blow.If you should miss the pivot blow you will find yourself in a splendid position to deliver the shift.Above all things make your opponent do all the walking backward possible, as it will tire him out quicker than anything else.At present I can\u2019t think of any more tricks of the ring to tell about.\u2014Robert Fitzsimmons.LOVE AND THEFT.A German Bookkeeper Swindles His Employers Out of an Immense Sum.Few sensational trials have attracted so much attention in the country as that of H.Vettors, son of the sub-mayor of Chemnitz and a lieutenant of the reserves, for the embezzlement of 1,627,602 marks, says a Berlin !@;ter to the New York Tribune.The ®ijal was brought to a close last week in Bremen, where it daily drew crowds of anxious people.In 1878, Vetters, then 24 years old, was appointed cashier and head bookkeeper of the firm of Plump & Heye, the wholes¥'e grain.dealers of the former Hanseatic city, He rerf#d rooms in the house of Mrs.Henrietta Cohn, a dressmaker who had been separated from her husband a few years before.Vetters soon fell in Jove with his landlady and determined to marry her.Although he traveled as far as Heligo- land, he was unable to get permission to make the divorced woman his wife.Vetter's family connections placed him above suspicion.His employers, who did an enormous-business, had boundless confidence in his honesty, and placed no restrictions upon his management.Mrs.Cohn\u2019s venture was unsuccessful.Her continual losses aroused the pity of Vetters.He wished to stand high in her favor and determined to relieve her.There was only one s*4y to do this in the face of his small sélary.He decided upon that way.In 1881 he embezzled 20,000 marks.The first step only was beset with difficulties.It was a matter of ease for Vetters to increase his theft in 1882 to 82,900 marks.To steal soon became a second nature with the man.In 1883, he stole 47,000 marks; in 1884, 80,000 marks; in 1885, 95,000 marks; in 1886, 140,000 marks; in 1887, 200,000 marks; in 1888, 434,000 marks; in 1889, 470,200, and in 1890, 111,400 marks, The command of such large sums of money enabled Mrs.Cohn to live in luxury.She moved into a beautiful houss in one of the principal avenues, where she dispensed a lavish hospitality.She enlarged.her business and soon stood at the head of the finest establishment in Bremen.More than fifty girls acted as her clerks.In addition to large salaries which they received, she presented them with sums of money and sent them repeatedly on trips of pleasure at her expense.There were no fixel prices in her shop.She purchased at any price and sold at the offer of the customer.Other dealers were unable to compete with the \u201cwealthy\u201d proprietor, and people began to wonder why she continued the expensive luxury.She kept no accounts and had no books.Figures and clerks ran wild.She li%d as a princess, and her carriages and servants were the envy of the town.But the end came.By mere accident, the eves of the guileless firm wera opened.Vetters was detected in his crime.With Mrs.Cohn, who 1rofessed to believe that he had inherited a large fortune, the man was arrested.After an impartial trial the judge sentenced the defaulter toten years\u2019 imprisonment.His accomplice will spend seven years within penitentiary walls, In consideration of the enofmous sum stolen, the sentences are light; for only a few thousand marks of the 1,600,000 were found in possession of the

Inundation Committee, was called yesterday to the statement made a few days ago by Mr.Henry Bulmer, chairman of the Harbor Commissioners, to the effect that it was not the Harbor Commissioners wt.o were to blame for the ipactivity in proceeding with the preliminary arrangements for going on with the harbor improvements.\u201cBut,\u201d said Ald.Wilson, \u201cthey are not ready for us and they have mot made arrangements for their share of the necessary money yet.\u201d It was pointed out to him that Mr.Bulmer states that they have already all the money they want for the present and are only waiting for an answer fo their letter asking for a conference with the Civie Committee.\u201cI never heard of any such letter having been received by the city, but however we will have the conference shortly, Some members of my committee who I am anxious to have at the conference, have been away a good deal lately on political business bat now that the thing is all settled we will have the

Quality of Their Brands.It bas taken the best part of a lifetime to establish them.They have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars fo introduce them.Having obtained the confidence of tte public they wish to merit a continuance of same.A (deterioration of quality in their brands would mot alone destroy the structure upon which they have spent their time, money and labor, but would result in a loss of that confidence the public have favored them with that money again spent in advertising new brands could not purchase.Therefore is it to be supposed that any sane business man would be so foolish as to destroy in 3 short time what it has taken so long to establish?Their brands, \u201cCable,\u201d \u201cMungo,\u201d \u201cEl Padre\u201d and \u201cMadre e Hijo,\u201d are undoubtedly the
