N.Y., are expected to arrive here in the latter part of July on a tour through Europe.They have applied to Minister Lincoln to obtain from the British Government permitsion to wear their side arms and regalia while in England.Mr.Matthews, the Home Secretary, has been consulted on the subject, and has intimated that it is impossible to make an exception in the case of the Albany Knights.The latter iusist upon the right to wear their uniform aod arms and parade tho deek of the steamer City of Chicago, which they have chartered for the voyage, although she sails nnder the British flag.To this, probably, no objection will be offered.Application has been made to the Governments of the countries on the continent which the Knights intend to visit, that they may be allowed to march through the streets zrmoed and In full regalia, bearing their banners and executing their manœuvers, The Grip\u2019s Sway in London, BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.LoxpoN, May 8\u2014 Fach of the large hespitals in

to-day ia\u2019 regard to the reported Boer *\u2018irek\u201d bein « prepared for the invasion of Mashona land, Mapacaland and other South African territory for the purpose of establishing the so-called Republic of the North, the Secretary of State intimated that troops were being sent to British Bechuanaland in order to oppose the propcsed Boer \u201ctrek.\u201d This anpounced movement of the Beers and intimated counter movement \u2018the point of massing together from the NO 112 of British troops in Bechuanaland seems to be the prelude to another \u201clittle war\u201d in South Africa.The Boers have never forgotten their successes over the British troops 1n the Trapsvaal, where the Beer's superior markmanship enabled them to inflict severe loss upon the less skilful English troops sent against them.\u2018When it first became known that the \u201ctrek\u201d was projected, 5000 Boers were calculated to be upon the point of forming the army of invasion.There was no attempt to conceal the projected raid, and the spparant indifference of the British Gevernment tothe movement caused great indignation at Cape Town and elsewhere, 80 much so, tbat meetings of South Afr'can subjects of Great Britain were called and it was openly said that if no help against the Boers was to be expected from Great Britain, it was time for the Cape colonies to de- ciare themselves independent.This seems to have somewhat stirred up Lord Salisbury\u2019s Government for the Brit sh High Commissioner and Com- mander-in-Chief at Cape Town, Sir Henry Broughton Loch, was instructad some l0days ago to inform President Kruger of the Transvaal Republic, that any movement of the Boers into the disputed territory would be eon- sidered as an act of hesti.ity to theQueen ot England.To this President Khruger replied briefly that he had \u201cdamped the trek,\u201d and it was supposed toat the affair was ended: A day or two later however, it became known ta Cape Town and e'sewhere that the force of Boers which proposed to establish the Republic of the North was composed of 20,000 Boers instead of 5,000, as at first, and, it was added, in spite of President Kruger\u2019s anxiety to live up to the obligations entered into between the Transvaal and Great Britain, it would possibly be beyond his power to prevent 20,000 well-armed Boers from carrying out any \u201ctreking\u201d plan which they might have formed.The trekers ars understnod to be upon Transvaal, the Free State, and from the Cape Governments.According to the plan announced these warlike farmers will assemble on the southern bank of the Limpopo River between May 15 and 31, and will cross the Limpopo on June 1 and immediately proclaim the Republic of the North.The leaders of the trek include men of position from both the Free Stats and Cape Colony, and all steps taken are said to have met with the approval of the famous Afrikaner Bund, which was recently in session at Kemberly, the well known mining town in West Griqualand, South Africa.It will thus be seen that the Boer move: ment to the north is a South African movement in the direction of northward expansion and is ofa serious nature, and it is bound to conflict with the claims of the British Chartered Company, to say nothing of the claims of the Portuguese South African Company.In fact, one of the objects of the raid is said to be the extinction of the claims of the charterad company, and the replacement of the company by a popular South African movement free from all control of the Imperial Government MARINE DISASTERS- A Tug Sunk

Sherbrooke to Toronto\u2014 Ventilation of the House\u2014General Notes and Gossip in and Around tbe Capital.FROM OUR RESIDENT REPRESRNTATIVE.Orrawa, May 8\u2014Mayor Clarke, of Toronto, and his customary body-guard of lawyers, witnesses and faithful aldermen were in the city to-day to re-venti- late Toronto\u2019s chronie quarrel with the C.P.R, and G.T.R.railway companies.The big deputation of Torontonian\u2019s together with many smaller delegations from less ambitious towns, appeared this morning at 11 o\u2019lock before the Railway Committee of the Privy Council in room 49 of the Housa of Commons.The ministers prasent were Bir Jobn Macdonald, presiding, Sir Jonn Thompson, Sir Hector Langevin and Hons.Messrs.Chapleau, Dewdney and Carling.About 70 interested citizens from tbe various towns represented in the different cases were also present.The town of West Toronto Junction, represented by City Solicitor C.C.Going and Mayor Clendenan, petitioned for a sub-way under the G.T.R.and C.P.R.With a view to opening up Keele-street north, estimated cost $23,000; one-third to be borne by each of the companies and one-third by the town.The pati- tion was granted.The Sherbrooke Crossing, One of the cases of some interest near Montreal was that of the City of Sherbrooke vs.the G.T.R.for a level crossing at Belvidere-sireet and azainst the C.P.R.for a similar crossing on King- street.John Bell, QC, and chief engineer, Hannaford, contended for the erection of overhead bridges; and Mr.W.B.lves, M.P., and City Solicitor Brown, on behalf of the city, pleaded for the establishment of crossings with gates for the protection of vehicles, It was decided to order level crossings, the question of apportioning the costs between the city and the companies being reserved.St.John\u2019s Crossings, The City of St.John, N.B., made application for a level crossing on Acadia- street over the St.John bridge and Railway extention line.Alderman Kelly and Mr.Chesley applied for the city and Dr.Barker represented the company.It wad stated that about a dozen regular trains paesed Acadia-street every day, making the horse and 1oot traffic extremely dangerous.Last year two fatal accidents cccurred at this point, the coroner\u2019s jury in both cases finding that the deatbs were due to the want of gates, Dr.Barker argued that the danger was not great and the traffic was small.The committee ordered that a flaz- man be appointed to signal approaching trains from the month of April to September every year.Other Crossings.The Toronto Esplanade and Don cases wera agsin postponed.The Great Eastern Ry.Co.vs.the Drummond Ry.Co.was called.Itis an ap- plicetion for crossing over the latter line at Nicolet.The questions involved were whether the connection should be by the ordinary diamond or by an iaterlocking switch; and which of the companies should pay the cost thereof.Miscellaneous Questions, Afler luncheon several miscellaneous Toronto questions came up.These are mainly involved in the esplanade ques- tien, the civic delegates from Toronto vigorously opposing what they term the C.P.R.\u201caggressions.\u201d The case was adjourned.There were in all 32 cases before the committee to-day, the majority of which were applications for protection at crcssings.General Notes, Sir Jobn Macdonald has rented his bouse at Riviere du Loup to Judge Gwynne.A visit was made to the Experimental Farm by & number of the Eastern mems bers yesterday.Dominion Day is to be celebrated on a grand scale at Ottawa this year.Among the proposed attractions being a lacrosse match between the Ottawas and Cornwalls.The Dominion Fisheries Exhibit have just deposited 1,500,060 of wbite-fieh fry in the bar of Quinte.It is proposed to stock many of tbe Jakes of Northern Ontario with salmon trout during the coming autumn.On the wall of the little office attached to the greenhouses on Parliament Hill hangs a record of the date on which the rass on the lawns about the Government vildings has been first cut since 1879.From this it appears that only once in 13 years, and that the first year of the record, bas the grass been first cut at an earlier date than it was this year.Here is the record siace 1879: 1879, April 16; 1880, May 14; 1881, May 2; 1882, May 15 ; 1883, May 8 ; 1884, May 1; 1385, May 16; 1886, April 26; 1887, May 9 ; 1888, May 7; 1889, April 25 ; 1890, May 5 ; 1891, April 25._ The ventilation of the house is being pretty generally discassed in view of the hot summer session ahead.Mr.Weas- ley, who has charge of the ventilating apparatus under the Senate and Commons chambers, stated to The Herald to-day that the whole system for airing the building should be remodelled.He had spent about 12 hours a day in and about the various rooms for the last 10 years, and he could state that the atmosphere was very often simply poisonous.This is due very largely, he eays, to the crankiness of many members who cannot stand a draught \u201cNoue of the really able members of the House ever complained on that score,\u201d said he, \u201cbut A the fellows who go down stairs too often and who on great public questions are \u2018peither hot mor cold\u2019\u2014these are the ones that are alwaysiphysically either] oo hot or too cold.If they were all like Mr, Charlton, for instance, there would be no trouble.\u201d Another great grievance is the kitchen smells.Thre are five of these altogether, the Black Rod's Cookery, the Sargeants, tbe Commons and Senate messengers, and the Library messenger\u2019s.There are also the two restaurants, the smell of sour beer from which very often invades the Members\u2019 reading room to tbe supreme disgust of the prohibition- iste.The suction pipes designed to draw off these foul odors do their work all right; but tbe numerous doors leading upstairs permit vast volumes of carbon dioxide to find their way into almost \u2018| every room on the first floor of the building.re THE RIO GRANDE FLOODS.They Were Much Worse Than at First Reported.SPECIAL DESPATOH TO THE HRRALD.SANTA Fr, N.M., May 8.\u2014Court officers who have just returned from Tierra Amoriallas say that half bas not been told of the flood that must soon sweep down the Rio Grande.At Cumberess Hill, Colo, the spow stands up beside the Denver and Rio Grande Section Houes six feet deep and thence it extends for miles covering the whole range as far as Tollee Gorge, and ranging in depth from four to five feet.All streams are running bank full.The Chama, Rio Brazcos, Wolf Creek and tributary rivers are rushing streams.In places they say the whole mountain side is covered with water trickling out from underneath the snow banks on top and spreading over the face of the decline in every direction.Thus far the weather has continued cool! in that region, hence the flcods that have passed do not begin to indicate what may follow.At Valverdea above San Marcial much land is under

Present Ones Will Remain in Force Till May 14, When There Will be a Readjustment, SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD.New Yorx, May 8.\u2014The joint commi - tee of the trunk lines to-day concluded its deliberations upon the Canadian Pacific Railway's claim for differential.It was decided to recommend that the all rail rates established at the meeting held on March 18 and 19 last should obtain until the Board of Presidents issue their ultimatum.The all rail rates are as follows: For 100 lbs.freight, first class, $1.30 via Chicago, $1.20 via National Despatch and Chicago, $1.20 via Ontario &

the Canadian Pacific.Its rate of $1.07 will continue in effect until May 14.Then the above rates will obtain until the board of Presidents make a final decision.Secretary Hoyt of the.trunk line association said it was probable that the board of Pre:idents would meet next week.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A SATISFACTORY RESULT, Charges Against a Trusted Official That Ignominiously Failed, SPBOIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD, QuEskc, May 8.\u2014The story that recently wert the rounds of the press to the effect tbat the late visit to Quebec of Mr.William Smith, Deputy Minister of Marine and Fisheries, was in connection with the plecing of buoys in the 8t.Lawrence, urns out to have been a blind employed by tne Ministerial dis- persers of official information at Ottawa, for the purpose of misleading the public.As a matter of fact the main objeet of Mr.Smith's visit to Quebec was to bold an enquiry into charges made against the management of the Quebec agency of tte Department of Marine and Fisheries.It bas leaked out that the most scandalous stories in regard to Mr.J.W.Gregory, tte agent at Quebec, were communicated to the Minister at Oitawa, first anonymously, aod then both by letter and personally, by a couple of ex- employees of the department, Both part'es were represented by counsel before the Commission of Enquiry, but go complete was the failure of Mr.Gregory's accusers fo substantiate their charges, and so thorough was their discomfiture, that their attorsey abandoned the conducting of the enquiry and atsented himself entirely f om its concluding sessions.Mr.Gregory is the object cf considerable sympathy in Quebec, in consequence of the persecation to which he has been subjected.Mr.Gregory has been the trusted employee of the department sirce 1867, and has always discharged his duties with credit to himself and satisfaction to the Government and the ccuntry, THE DEADLY FLAMES Ontario Village Wiped Out and Another One is

Pittsburg says the iron trade furnishes good news for the community at large.It is now nearly five months since the big iron furnaces of the Mahon- ing valley and Chenango ° valley went out of blast because of the high freight rates and the alleged discrimination on the part of the railroad companies in favor of Pittsburg.The shut down alwaya means a falling off in the annual product of iron in the Chen- ango Valley alone of at least 350,000 tors.The continuance of this idlenees means a corresponding increase in these figures.It is \u2014es:imatel that the Chenango Valley manufactures one eighth of the ig iron made in tbe United States, Tne opara- tors are ready to reseme they say just 28 soon as they can get coke.Consequently the end of the coke strike means almost as much to the Mahoning and Chenango Valleys as it does to the Connellsville coke region.Sales since the shut down have been quite active and there is hardly a pound of surplus in the Chenango Valley to-day.The last

ATHLETES Men Who Have Won Many Honors on the Cinder Path\u2014Their Different Styles of Running\u2014TLe Advdatage in the Start\u2014 How An Athlete Should Train\u2014A Jumping Competition at McGill, Malcolm W, Ford, writing in Onting on sprint races says: \u201cIt is comparatively easy for a professional athlete to get into good condition and to maintain 1t; but the business life of an ordinary amateur is much against good athletic condition, It would be foolish to advise a breadwinner, who works hard from 8 a.m.to G p.r.each day, to rise early and take exercise before breafast.Not even the most enthusiastic athlete would day after day follow such a couse.Nigh is about the only time an amateur can exercise regularly, though during the summer season some can find time in the late afternoon by going straight from the place of business to the ground, and taking their.evening meal in the neighborhood of 8 o'clock.An athlete to get into his best condition mus: be free from worry.His athletic practice must come easily.He must not be continually figuring on how to leave work so as to get over to the grounds in time, ete., forin the long run such troubles will render him unfit.A few words ragard- ing diet are first in order.I have never considered this part of training important enough to think of, for anything that is on the average table will do.If athletics were made a business, it might pay to have special dishes of plain cooking served, but the difference in the effect between any dish thatcould be prepared and the ordinary fare is probably so slight that an amateur is better off without the inconvenience.After exercise his throat is apt to be dry from the increased breathing with the mouth open.The temptation 18 to pour down fluid enough to deluge the suppose thirst.If one will wait a little while he will not be 80 thirsty as he thought, except in hot weather, when he may be continually thirsty.It is not good to drink much of anything, for a deal of fluid deadens one.Eatables and drinkables are of little account as compared with exercise and rest.The most important of the modern atbletic contests is sprinting.Sprint races cont in many more entries than any other class.Lengthofthe Sprint Race, Opinions differ as to the length of the sprint race.Some claim that a quarter of a mile run is a sprint, and this distance is generally spoken of as such, bat technically it is not a burst of full speed all the way, and an actual sprint race mears full speed for every inch of the distance.Itcan readily be seen that the limit of à sprint race varies with different athletes, and while some cannot maintain a spurt for over 100 yards, others can go for all they are worth for 300 yards.The great sprint race in amateur sport 18 100 yards, although this distance is considered by professionals to be a little too short in which to display the greatest speed.With this class 120 or 130 yards is the most popu- Jar, but it makes no difference whather the race is 50 or 150 yards long.The essential points in aprinting must be mastered before one can do well at it.The start of the sprint race is perhaps 88 important as any point in the subject, providing the athlete may have speed sufficient to rank him as a good man.It is quite possible that an athlete may ke able to do 11 1-58.for 100 yards, and after becoming more proficient in starting, his figure may be 11s., without bis ghowing any more actual speed in any part ct the race except the first 10 yards, which is & part where, generally speaking, no speed can be shown on account of the athlete not having momentum enough to enable him to stride out.The first 10 yards, though, are most important and many a race has been won by an athlete getting a little ahead at that int, even though some competitor may ave clcsed the gap a little in the last 90 yards.Whether an athlete trains on a gymnasium board floor or on a cinder path out of doors, he should begin very gradually in practising starting, Starting means to hold one\u2019s self on a mark in a position which may enable him to jump off suddenly and run.The motion must necessarily be very quick, and a novice frying it with all his might.at first may produce strains in various ligaments and joints which may cripple him for some time.Strains occur so easily from starting that old hands at sprinting, when beginning practice after baving been inactive for some time use extra caution.\u201d A Good Starter Essential, Continuing Ford says: \u201cThe majority of sprinters find it difficult to stand steady when others may be causing considerable delay and bother, but continued practice will enable one who really wishes to learn to stand perfectly still always being ready to run no matter what may be going on around him.Very often when athletes know that an incompetent pistol firer has eharge of them no attempt 13 made to hold the mark, and all their thought and energies are bent on beating the pistol.A really competent pistol firer, evan ag late as six years ago, was almost unheard of in this country, Half a dozan years ago beating the pistol was such a common occurrence that an athlete wag considered very slow if he did not do it, Nothing was thought of it and the press would seldom comment on it, Baker is an ideal type of a runner so far as style is concerned.In build he is more slender than the general run of sprinters.He stands 5 feet 11 inches tall, and weighs 188 pounds in running trim.Comparing his physique - with H.M.Johnson the difference of bulk can be seen at a glance.Baker's record for 100 yards is 10 seconds.Johnson's i8 9 4-5 seconds, but the latter was a professional runner.He died last summer of peritonitis.He had & wonderful physique, stood 6 feet tall and weighed 185 pounds in running trim.He did not travel in the smooth way that characterized Baker, but more like a succession of thrusts of the legs.His rupning impressed one with the idea of a large, heavy machine propelling itself along.Baker, on the other hand, glides Luther Cary\u2019s Style.In build Cary is nothing remarkable, standing 5 feet 9 inches tall, and weighing 133 pounds.His strides measare about a foot shorter than Baker\u2019s, and bcut six inches shoiter than Johnson's; - but compared with those of Frederick Weating, the present 220-yard amateur champion runner of America, they are long.Cary has rather a labored style of running, but he is very fast.It was claimed that last fall he ran at Princeton 100 yarde in 9} seconds, but the Amatear Athletic Upion rejected the record and the probabilities are that the inexperience of the timers accounted for the fast figures, Cary wss beateu by John Owen, jr,, only one foot for the 100-yard amatear cham- piouship of America last fall and Westing was about a similar distance behind Cary.The time returned was 9 4-5 seconds, the hest amateur record in the world, and these three men are without doubt for this distance the fastest amateurs in America.Westing is only 5 feet 5} inches tall, and weighs, in condition, 127 pounds.His strides are in the neighborhood of only six feet, but he puts them in so rapidly that his speed is tremendous.He won the 220-yard championship, which was run around the tarn, in 22}¢,, deteatiiig both Onen and Cary, although the former Was only one foot behind.The time is most meritorious, for the best American amateur record for this distance made on a straightaway track by Baker is 22a, Owen is a fine sample of a sprinter\u2014 weighing about the same as Westing but several inches taller.He acts in a pusi- ness-like way when on the mark, and rons with great strength.He strides in the neighborhood of seven feet and has 8 smooth action for 4 str.nz ranner.He is the only amateur who holds a 9-45 seconds record for 100 yards, and only two other men, Johnson and Bethune, both professionals, bave equalled this time.Previous to last championship day 10 amateurs held the best record for 100 yards, 10s.Kine of these pertormances were made in America and one in England, but Owen\u2019s psrformances er:ged all these namas from the iecord slate, and be now stands as the premier amateur 100 yard runner of the world.Nerve and Muscle the Necessary Qualifica- \u2019 tion, It will be seen by the description of the physique of the fast runners that it is useless to judge .by the build of the man what his capabilities should be at sprinting.Any athlete possessing more than the usual amount of nerve and muscular force can with practice make a fast sprinter.When practicing for sprinting anywhere from half to a dozen starts shonld be taken.These consist in setting and then running off for 30,40 or 50 yards, varying the distance.A little wait should be taken between each start so as to allow the heart and lungs to get rested.If an athlete tries too many starts he will feel it in a few days, by being able to show no speed and by having the muscles of the legs continually sore.End each practice by taking a couple of spins for & 100 yards, and if practice for 220 yards is wanted, run that distance several times a week, An occasional race with other athletes is very good, although many of these tend more to tire one than to do good.Hard work should never be taken continuously, and, although the temptation may be to run as herd as possible in ractice, still this must be avoided.very move should be made with the feeling that you could do just a little more if you tried.Continually exerting one\u2019s self in practice will leave nothing for the competition.lfyou makeit a point to keep fresh in practice, you will find you can use plenty of effort for the race.McGill Athletes Compete.Some of the McGill athletes were ont competing yesterday afternoon.The principal event of the day was the running jump between Messrs.W.Cameron and C.Goltman.The result was a win for Uameron who made 18} feet.Goltman\u2019s best jump was 16 feet 11

probable outcome of the fistic encounter between Andy Bowen of New Orleans, the lightweight champion of Louisiana, and Billy Meyer of Streator, Ill, who are to fight on May 16 for $3000, of which $500 will go to the loser.The fight will be decided in the Olympic Club, in the game ring in which Fitz- simmons defeated Jack Dempsey.The men are confined to weight snd neither must weigh over 134 pounds in full ring costume, five minutes before the fight.The directors of the Olympic Club have decided thatin future all contests shall be fought with The Police Gazette champion boxing gloves, and they bave already been secured for this contest.It will be the second time Bowen and Myer have fought in the ring.On May 22, 1890, they fought for a purse of $3000 in this city and Bowen won in 28 rounds, lasting 1 hour and 51 minutes.Myer claimed that he was in no condition and he bas never been satisfied with the result of that meeting.A large delegation of western men are expected here next week to witness the contest, and thefe will be heavy betting on the result.Both men have been specially trained and each is confident of winning.Myer believes he will knock out Bowen ingide of 1 hour, Johnny

World on Bicycles.The New York Sun says: The rather bazardous undertaking of attempting to ride around the world on a bicycle has never been attempted since Thomas Stevens returned from his successful trip some years ago, bat on the outward- bound steamer Teutonic, which sailed for Queenstown yesterday, were two well-known wheelmen who contemplate repeating Steven's exploit.The courageous young men are Messrs, G.D.Mitchell and E.E.Stevens of Washington, D.C, They boarded the steamer aecompanied by two safety bicycles, a camera, and only the requisite weerlng apparel required for such a trip.In answer to a query as to whether they had no misgivings as to the outcome of their trip, they said that during 1889 they had covered a good portion of western Europe awheel, and that the attractions of that ride had induced them to attempt the more perilous trip.They expect to consume about two years in making the journey.While they will attempt to conclude their trip in as short a space of time as possible, they will not hurry themselves.Cyclometers are attached to their wheels, which wilt record the entire distance they travel.Wheeling in England, At the spriug race meeting of the Surrey

the original of the accompanying cat, John W.Moffat.He was born in Montreal 28 years ago and at an early age went in for athletic exercises, thouzh his first appearance of nots was in1884, He was then a member of the Montreal J anior Lacrosse Club, In the spring of that year he took part in the M.A.A.A.games and made a remarkable fine showing, winning two scrateh races for the mile and half mile.The same yea: he joined the Montreal Amateur Athleti : Association, and the following seaso 1 1885, be made the other athletes open their eyes, His particular race was th: mile acd half-mile and up to 1890 his record Was most creditable.In 1885 a the Canadian Amateur Athletic Asso ciation games held in Toronto he won the Lalf-mlle in 2-1 1-5, and mile in 4-36.In the former he defeated the visitors from New York and some of the crack ronners of the Irish Athletic team.In the handicap games of the M.A.A.À.he aleo won the mile and half-mile and also succeeded in capturing firat place for these two distances at the McGill Spring games of that year.Besides the above he was the successfull contestant in the croes country championship, In JOHN W.MOFFAT.1886 at the M.A.A.A.spring games he won two seconds in the mile and half mile respectively.During the month of June he went down to New York to compete in the American championship games but, his lez went back on him and he was defeated.On returning to Montreal he took part in the M.A A.A, fall games and carried off the half mile.The C.A.A.A.games were beld in Montreal during that year and Moffat won the half mile in 1.59% and mile in 4.34 establishing two new records.He also won the mile at the McGill games the same year.In 1887 he was again the winner of the half mile in the spring games and also carried off prizes at the Toronts exhibition.Two weeks later at the championship meet of the C.A.A.A.Le again won the half-mile, making the time 1n 2:1 4-5.In the fall games of the M.A.A.A.he won the half-mile and won two Jubilee races at the games of the Montreal Garrison Artillery.In 1888 Moffat was once more successful in the half mile at the spring games (handicap) and won his favorite race again at the C.A.A.A.games covering the distance In 2:3 2-5, and also competed in tbe American Aesociation games winning the half mile in 2:23.He also won several prizes in 1888 atthe games in Yonkers and in

afternoon with reference to the report that be was to assume the management of the Philadelphia Athletics.Mr.Powers said: \u201cI have never accepted nor declined the offer as yet.I am somewhat discouraged with the meagre attendance at the games in Buffalo thus far, and if it is not to be better I think it would be à matter of business for me to accept the Philadelphia offer.If the Philadelphia management decides to negotiate for my release and the ai- tendance here does not increase, I think the best policy for the Buffalo directors is to let me go.\u201d Country Baseball,

is simply an impossibility to land a fair bit outside of the grounds.There is almost room enough for another diamond beyond centre field.When tbe ground becomes hardened by the summer sun, a hit that gets by the outfielders in nine cases out of ten must be good for a homs run.ee.CRICKET, What They Want for Going to Australia to Play, The professional cricketers who have had the offer of going out to Australia with Lord Sheffield have almost with one accord put in claim for £100 more than was paid with Shaw and Shrews- bury\u2019s team.Lord Sheffield, however, knows the figures perfectly well also.A certain Gloucestershire gentleman of cricketing tendencies (whose initials are W.G.), has estimated £3000 as the figure which will recompense him for loss of time, interference with business, etc, The figure is by no means out of the way; because a medical man cannot disappear from the.arena of pills: and plasters and undertake a tour in Australia without inflicting great injury on big practice.Lord Sheflield, however, will probably lean to the opinion of Shrewsbury, that professionals are nes 80 expensive a8 amateurs in a mater like this.It is stated tbat Dr.W.G.Grace might probebly set up a practice in London after his return, Cricket in Ottawa.FROM OUR OWN REPRESENTATIVE.Orrawa, May 8\u2014The Ottawa Cricket Club put in good teams for their matches on May 23 against

have stopped \u201cfointing for a lead,\u201d and it is now \u201cstraight from the shoulder\u201d or nothing.One or the other must now go on record ag a weakener.Who will it be?Law- lor said yesterday that while Courtaey\u2019s reply W:8 not in any way an answer to his challenge, etill Le wuald accommodate him and play a home-and-home match, the best ofeleven games, for $200 a side,

following from The New York Post will be of interest to Montrealers : Tbe fourth anniversary exhibition at Durland\u2019s Riding School last evening was attended by a great crowd of spectators, as though everybody had come ,in hope that the storm would keep everboay eice away, so that there would oe seats to spare.But, on the contrary, every place was occupied from which even the heads of the horses could be seen.After a display of trained saddle- hortes, a school class-ride was conducted by Mr.Nyegaard with great smoothness and accuracy in the changes of evolution.A platoon of the Central Fark mounted equad was drillled by Rounds- man Eagan, being much and deservedly applauded for its fine appearance and discipline, and successive members of the squad afterwards chased and caught a tuppoeed runaway, in a manner not highly exciting, since often the officer started in the lead, and waited for the runaway to come up.Atthe conclusion, a handsome flag was presented to the squad by Mr.Darland\u2019s pupils.The high-jumping contest was by W.A.McGibbon on Grattran, W.8.Elliott on Sportsman, and Mr.David Levey on Elmbank.McGibbon took Grattan over 81x feet six 1nches, Sportsman fauing in bis four tries at that height, and Mr.Levey with Elmbank quitting at six feet lhree inches.No thrilling accidents occured.The exercises concluded with a very pretty floral quadrille under Mr.Nyegaard\u2019s diraction, and a jeu de barre ridden by Messrs.S, Knight, N.Curren, and J.Minasner.The horse Grattan was formerly owned by Mr.B.J.Coghlin one of the finest judges of horses 1m this city and its rider Mr.McGibbon is son of McGibbon, Fark langer.W.8, Elliot who rede Jprrtemau is a brother of Mr.Frank Elliot of the Montreal Riding School.Ed, At Guttenberg.GUTTENBERG, May

Tcams Arrange Theft Matches =\u2014Composition of the Capital Toam\u2014La.crosse Will be Played To-day\u2014Races a¢ Guttenberg and Washington\u2014The St.Lambert Éoatiag Club\u2014Cricket News, \u2014 FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT, Crrawa, May 8.\u2014There is a great air of mystery surrounding any lacrosse ne.gotistions that may be going on just now in the city.That some sortofa deal is being made is well known, but what it is is most carefully held secret, Not the least doubt that the Ottawas want Montreal and Toronto in the city for matches during the season, and the assumption is that a league will be ar.anged between these clubs and ihe Oz- tawas, and with ths ead in view tne latter have written to Toronto and Montreal, butso far have received ouly un acknowledgement of the receipt of beir offer.President Henderson and his committee refuse positively to give apy Information on the subject, but your correspondent learned from the president and secretary of the Capitals -bat the Ottawas had an idea at the time of the convention that they would play exhibition matches with the clabs not of ths Jeague and no objection was raised and they understood it was likely that these clubs would arrange a regular schedule, but that the Ottawaa were \u201cpledged not to go back on the present league as it now stands,\u201d should the clubs mentioned also make a schedule, lacrosse will fairly hum in Ottawa during the coming sea son.The Ottawas are trying a defance player named H.James from the West and be is a likely man.The Capitals will play Allan McKay of the Reafrew\u2019a and will also get some other new men to fill vacancies on the team.[There have been communications received by the Montrealers and ,Torontos but neither clubs well divulge just what the offers are but something of interest to lacrosse people will transpire within a few days.] SrortING EpIT)R.A New Ltague Proposed, The Emmet Lacrosse club are the promoters of a new scheme.They are desirous of forming another lacrosse league in the city, the clubs playing on about an equal with the Independent Junior League and Junior League teams, and for this purpose a meoting will be held in the St.Ann\u2019s Young Men's Hall, on Wednesday evening next, to which the Bt.Denis, White Star, Gordon, Independents and Clippers are requested to send delegates.There are several clubs unable to obtain admission to the junior leagues already in existence, and this proposed new organization ought to be taken advantage of, and tae meeting on Wednesday night should bring fur- ward many delegates.Another Schedule Made, À mesting of the representatises of the junior clubs who play for the district championship was beld last evening in the St.Lawrence Hall.The following being present: Chairman T.W.Mc Anavlty, J.H.McKenna, Shamrocks; W.Cox, St.Gabrial; C.A.Lockerby Montreal; S, C.Carver, Cote St.Paul; Fred R.Alley, Orients; A.A.Smith, Crescents.The following schedule was

French messageries steamer, after which entered my name at Singapore Club, which isa magni- gant institution; building of Eastern dimensions and luxury; attendance by natives, with greatest empressements; view out on the straits, from which the breeze keeys the magnificent rooms de- lightfuily cool.Mr.M.to whom I had letters, took me home with him, to a specimen of luxury, for which I was quite upprepared.His firm own an estate of 60 acres, on which each of the partners has a residence.The chief characteristic of the houses, with which 1 was forcibly strack, was their great size and the extent of ground which they cover, adapting them to ths clmate, giving very large rooms and wany of them.My bedroom, wita large four poster surrounded by mosquito nettirg, bath room and adjuncts, was one of many similar suites.Th : ¢iniog Lall extends through tne hous: irem front to rear, table inthe centre where Lest protected from the heas, a surge billiard table at the back, all quis ured ard exposed to every current of air, as are the surrounding rooms, somd o which are used as open conserrat ries, The out houses are connected with tle mwain building by corridors.The drawing room is above the dining room and of the same extent.At dinner we sat down three, and were waited upon by as many Chinese in white togas, ete, and after dinner adjourned to the billiard table for rest of evening.Before drees- ing next morning we were served with a collation of fruit, mangasteens, chicos, bananas and papayas, after which we wandered and lay about, dressed and had regular breakfast, and then drove to town.\u2018The offices and warehouses are also on a grand scale.TLe Empress of India lay and coaled about three miles below Singapore, from which wharf there runs a steam tramway, fare 1} penny.While waiting for the hour of departure, we were amused by the native Malay boys, in all kinds of boats, in naturalibus, excepting a breech cloth, waiting to dive after coin which we threw them and which they invariably recovered; four or five would spring into tbe water head first, when one would emerge with the bit.The mystery to me was, how in the subaqueous struggle, the coin was ever recovered and how in the water they could see it.The black urchins, tbough stimulated by cupidity, eeemed to enjoy the fun immensely.They showed wonderful dexterity in recovering their boats and paddles.They would jump into and seat themselves in a cockle sized wherry, which with one unaccostomed, would have turned upside down, then they would haul her cut with feet or bands in no time.This performance is of daily occurrence as they wait on all the steamers touching here, of which there is a very large number.Hone Korg, March 23.\u2014We arrived here after a pleasant steam at 10 o'clock p.m.We went on shore, presented our letters, and walked about seeing club, shops, etc, and being favorably impressed with the general appearsnce.The town is on an island at the head of an harbor about five miles from the sea, land locked and said to be capable cf sheltering the navies of all the world.The apprcach is very striking, thread ing our way among islands aud finally coming on the town which is on a side hill, giving it a most commanding appearance.From the summit of th: bill, the prospect is extensive and varied, the harbor with its islands and numer ous veesels of all nationalities.One of tne gentlemen whom I brought a letter o intr.duction, is Chinese commissioner o customs.He placed his steam launch at my disposal for an afternoon to sai around and insrect the harbor, which I did, taking these of our fellow passengers who wished to go, all enjoying the trip very much, and finally bringing up on the Powan, the steamer for Canton; on which we passed the night, arriving rext morning.Spe is very much like a Hudson River or St.Lawrence steamer; the staterooms, however, are larger.We got an excellent dinner on board, wine, veer and brandy included, for $1.50 Cni- nese currency\u2014 $6 20 to the £ sterling.After dressing, coffee and toast, we started in parties, each having a guide, who engaged chairs for us and himself\u2014 each chair had three coolie bearers with the smallest modicum of clothing\u2014they started off ut a smart walk, and kept it up ail day.Any other mode of progression would have been impossitle tor a stranger, a8 he would very soon get lost among the crowds in the narrow and similar streets, most of which one could nearly reach across standing in the middie.Canton is a kina of mixture of Venice and Amsterdam.The canals, lees numerous than those of Venice, are bridged in the same way, and have to be crcssed by mounting on one siue, and descending on the other, the latter requiring some care to prevent falling over on the bearer.The crowde in their varied costumes, and shops with their contents would beggar description.The shops are in every yariety, but those for comuestibles largely predominating, fish, tiesh, fowl, vegetables and fruit, raw and cooked in every variety; all kinds of bandicrafis exposed to view in the door- less and windowless bazaars, one very conepicuous industry being that of the barber.Our guide, who was one of the best, frequently stopped and took us into the shops, temples, markets, etc, and explained everything in an English, understandable by assidious attention and questioning.Satin embroidery, ivory, earrings, jewelry.weanons, nat've paintings and curios.In one kind of a market place we saw a hash of cat, in a frying pan, from which the natives were regaling themselves, There was also cooked dog, which they thought less delicate, and the hind quarters of a large canine were exposed as those of a sheep, with ue.We saw only one live rat being kept to fatten and eat, and some salted dried rat, like aried salt fish, exposed for sale.One of the moss striking and novel sights which we encountered v.48 the funeral of a rich Mandarin.We had to stop and let it pass, but were well rewarded for the delay.There was every possible variety of men ard boys, in palanquins, mounted and on foot, numerous musical bands, die- coursing ail kinds of sounds, one very I sely rerembling a Scotch bagpipe (the kind vf introment we did not see).The PioceBsion was said to number over 1000 nin and boys, costing the heirs 60 cents ter tbe former and 30 cents fur the latter each, and all the paraohernalium a l:ke Prc port'or; eo that dying would be, for a rich man, a very expensive luxury.To convey any idea of the affair by descrip- ticn would be impossible, suffice it to say it was the most gorgeous and unique procession we ever saw, perhaps nearer 1 to cne of a managerie than any other.Canton is the largest, most populous and most characteristically Chinese city, in the country.The effluvia decidediy Yeat those of Cologne in number, variety and intensity evenin the present cool season.Of the population (2,000,000)80,~ 000 live on boats from the sam pans carrying two or three, to the junks, 200, or 300 tons burden.The carrying trade above Canton, is now monopolized by this aquatic population, and although the river would be practicable for large steamers up to a town 12 miles higher, tke Chinese government dare not grant à concession for them, dreading the hostility cf this amphibious and dangerous proletory, which is as piraticalasitis commercial, and is only kept in order by the knowledge that the foreign steamers, are well provided with arms and ammunition, snd the ca, adility of using them.Our vessel had several stands of arms in the saloon and swords in the staterooms ; this, to guard not only sgainst attack from without, but also from an uprising on beard, as they coa- stautly carry large numbers of natives, We had 800 of such, many if not most, ot whem would only be deterred from piracy by fear.Last January about 60 desperados shipped on the Namoa, an English freight pescenger steamer.When well clear of the harbour, they suddenly roge on the cfficers and crew, st ot the captain and one European pas- serger, shut the others in the deck hcuse end rifled the vessel ofall they thouzht valuable, they were joined by confederate junks, in which they carried off ther booty about $20,000 worth, leaving the sbip\u2019s people at liberty, but disabled machinery, etc.Going on shore they fied to the mountaints with their plunder, and were, till lately, at liberty, but we heard that some of them bad recently been \u2018aken and tried betora an English tribunal, which did not find the evidence complete enough to convict, and let them go; Lut the Chinese who were less scrupulots about the leater, caught, convicted them in five minutes, and chopped off their heads.Let us hope they got the right men.After passing the day, as above described, we re-embarked on the Powap, dined, and went to bed, having earned a good night's rest.Arrived next morning at Hong Kong, srent the day getting money, ticket and packing and set sail inthe Jhenninah rench Messageries maratime, to which tie C.P.R.had transferred us.The Empress of India being detained at Hong Kong until April 7, when she takes her place on the mail route.We thus get a week longer in Japan and join her on April 17 at Yokohama, to sail for Vancouver.We found the Jhenenah all that could be desired, in food, attendance, rooms, &c.We arrived early on Monday morning at Woosung, the port of Shanghai, break- tasted and steamed up to Shanghai in tne company\u2019s launch, arriving at 10 a.m.We found Shanghai a very clean and pleasant town, magnificent buildings and harbor full of shipping, and showing every sign of great prosperity.The weather, although warm, was not at all oppressive, Passing Nagasaki, at which place the French steamers do not call, we entered the Inland Sea on Wednesday morning.This large sheet of water is all thatit has been described, the temperature was delightful and the scenery wonderfully beautiful and variegated.Threading our way constantly among islands of every shape, both in the perpendicular and horizontal, the outline of the former sharply cut aud the Jatter indented by bays, many of which had small picturesque hamlets.The views at different points reminded me at one time ot the Scotch lakes, at another of Switzerland, and a third racailed our Thousand Islands and a fourth the islands in the Baltic between Stockholm and St.Petersburg.Some of the islands aie rccky and bare, others verdure-clad in a kird of coarse barley.They seemed w«nderfully well adapted for goats, but they say neither they nor sheep can stand the climate or food of the conutry.Thursday, April 4\u2014We arrived a Kobe before breakfast, and were initiated into Japan.Although the Japanese and Chinese have many features in ccmmen, both of Mongolian origin, and similar in religions, both practicing the fhirto end Buddbist rites, lauguage nearly similar, yet there are very marked differer ces which at once strike the traveler.Tle Japanese appear much mote cleanly in their streets, houses and cloth- ir g, and the women are here seen in numbers, and although we should not call them pretty, they are generally of pleasing appearance.They are by no m.eaps indifferent to the love of approbation which they manifest particularly in which struck us as being profuse and of a glessy jet black and made the most ot.Later, boweyer, on expressing our admiration to a resident Eng- lsh lady, she exclaimed at our mpocence, saying the gloss depends on grease, and the quantity is supplemented, as with ue, by the hair dresser.They are ail, even the poorest, manipulated by a capillary artist, once a week.and sleep «n a wooden pillow about two inches wice on the upper surface, so as not to derange the fabric, to this, they are go gccustomed from childhood, that their sleep is not disturbed For the color of their skins, in which they try to imitate us, they are largely indebted to art.Although the young women thus manage to present, to A superficial view, a very patsable figure, the older ones go off very early, many being toothless and ill fayored.The people all appeared guave, good tempered, obliging and jocular.À missicnary informs me that they are generally poor and live on very little, yet there 18 very seldom any suffering.We spent our first day in Kobe at cur consuls, bsnkers, etc\u2019, and got local permits for Osaka and Kiots, which had to be countersigned at the police office, and ordered pasports from Tokyo, to meet us at Kioto.I am surprised that & people so imitative should keep up this rempant of barbarism.We lunched and dined with a gentleman to whom we bad an introduction and started next morning for Kioto, calling at Osaka, where we lunched at a good hotel and saw a castle and pagoda, ascending the latter six stories high by a very primitive staircase, and when we reached the top bad to roll out onto agallery through a horizontal slit 18 inches high, The view was very extensive, repaying us for the climb.This being a Japanese holiday, which are even more numerous here than with us, we met crowds smoking opium and enjoying themselves, We arrived at Kiota at 6 p.m., in time for dinner, which was excellent, the hotels differing fron any we bad seen before, consisting of several buildings on a side hill We visited a very fine Buddhist temple, large and clean, the reverse of those at Carton.An ordinary service was proceeding within the altar enclosure, very large and gorgeous,the paraphernalia and robes of 1he priests much resembling our Roman Cathelicones.They had half a dozen wooden blccks, which at first I tek for gourds, which they assiduoasly tl.e attention they bestow on their hair, 1ntersected with gardens, fountains, etc.\u2019 beat with a mallet; also each had a me- {| tallic kind ofa bell, which tuey beat with a hammer, accompanying al with a& low, monotouous bumming drawl, varied with occasional discourse.From here we next weut to Yokobama by rail, arriviog April 8.The jourcey vy rail is exceedingly beautiful and 1utsresting, giving a good idea ut Japan se irrigation and agriculture.A great breadth of rice plantations, over which they have great ccmmand of the water, letting it on a: needed, and all operations done by band.Tie other grains, barley and oats, all gown in drilis and billed np as cora 13 with vs, the

meeting of old High School boys has been called through the public press for the purpose of doing horor to Dr.Howe, the retiring rector.Such a movement is eminently fitting.It would be difficult to name a single agency contributing more effectively to the world\u2019s well-being than the public school, and I can think of no public service more decerving of grateful recognition than that service to which Dr.Howe, with rare devotion, has given the energies of lus life.For more than 40 yearw, with conspicuous ability and success be has discharged the duties of the sition from which he is now retiring.hree generations of Montreal's leading citizens have felt his influence.The constant teaching of his life has been thoroughness, faithfalness, unselfishness \u2014the very pulars of good citizenship.Has any one done more for Montresls pros; erity or tor her fair name?CITIZEN., The Pedlar License Question.Editor Herald: Your view of the pedlar question is all very well\u2014from your pcint of view\u2014but there are other points of view trom which it may be regarded in a different light.One of these is the point of view from which the housekeeper views the question, both in her own interest and in that of her servant girl.A servant who is disturbed at her work and compelled to run up stairs half- a-dozen times in a morning to answer the bell to the peripatetic pedlar, or the mistress of the house who is calied down stairs an equal number of times to say that she doesn\u2019t want any more brooms or needles or what not, has some claim to hearing which is entitled to respect.If the ring of a pedlar could be distinguished from that of any other person I would in my own house rig a contrivance that would empty a bucket of water over the itinerant pest.ANTI-PEDLAR, County of Bonaventure, Editor Herald : The election of William Le Fauvel, for the County of Bonaventure bas been contested, the contestants having waited unt.l the last bour to try and deprive the bonest electors of this county of their electoral rights.The petitioner 18 Henry Welman Gardener, and man of all work to L.J.Riope), ex-M., P., for this county, who was ashamed aud afraid to present himself for re-election on March 5, last.It seems that the most respectable and those of prominence, whe supported the Conservative candidate, refused to support the petition and some of them say that the proceedings are disgraceful, as the petetioner is only a squatter on the common of New Carlisle and although his name appears on the voters list in reality he is not a qualified voter.M.J.Keliy, Weight and Measures Inspector, bas acted a prominent part in this contest, together with our late M.P, and one or two other government suckers, who no doubt expect to make a decent grab from the Government for their mean act.But nothing otherwise could be expected from these gentlemen, as some o1 them are well-known in the county.It is very strange that the Government have not sufficient employment for their employees, than to have them going about the country minding cther peopls\u2019s business, It is a well-known fact that some of tbe Conservatives in tbis county used every means appertaining to bribery and corruption to secure the return of Lr.À.A.Laferriere, their candidate, but it was ot no avail, as the county was sick of the miserable clique then in power.This is the first election that has taken place in the county for the last 30 years, where the electors exercised their free franchisee, as heretofore the undue infla.ence used by the Conservative laaders | secured the return of the Conservative candidate; but had no such influence ever been used, and every elector al- } lowed tô enjoy his own opinion this county woula always have been represented in Parlianient by a Liberal member, \u20181 he member elect, William L.Fauvel, 18 an honest straight forward business man, holding the responeibie position of manager of a large fishing firm and in every way qualified to fill tbe position in which the people of tae county have placed him.Baving such impositions representing us in Parliament in the past, soould not cause any surprise at Mr.Fauvel being elected by such a large msjority.But ehould bis election te annulled and a new election take place, be will not only be re-elected by 700 majority, but will obtain a majority of 1000 at least.New Carlisle, May 5.AN ELECTOR \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Is This Another Bender Scheme?i Ottawa Free Press.Our Lord Bigh Commissioner is branching out a8 a*millionaire.He has taken an active

servant of the people, who bas quartered himself and his family upon the publictreasury, should actively participate in an election contest.His attempt to bribe the: Grand Trunk, y&nd his sursequent attack upon its man- sgemwent when it refused to be bribed, .are remarkable for their brazen impu- \u2018dence.TLe result of the election of the .Grard Truüok directors in London shows i that po

enough for the people to sit in it if the cold appesrance which he has with him ell the time is to be taken ag a criterion.: I met him at Lake George some time ago and I think he is gradually settling down until he won\u2019t have life enough to reach the next tox, ; ER * As far as the amacsur dramatic circles are concerned the season is at a close and taking it as a whole I must say that it bas not been at all satisfactory.Trae some cf these who have appeared before the public have shown an 1mprovement buttaking it as a wbole I think they have been simply satisfying a desire to pose upon the stage ana have not tried to improve their acting in the least.Mrs.Warner\u2019s school has done well and the cicsing was a credit to her though why she should neglect to invite the press is pot for me to say.Surely tLe young folks would have wished to see themselves mentioned in the papers.As it was, I looked in The Herald, but there was no recognition of the performance, nor could it be expected when no invitations were sent.* Yesterday afternoon I paid a visit to Æoumer Rink in company with Mr.La- joie, and let me tell my readers that the undertaking is one which noi only does credit to Messrs.Lavigne and Lajoie, but to the city of Montreal.Until you have seen it you bave no idea what an immense concern the pavilion Is.S:and- ing away up at the top of the gallery I looked down upon the stage and so far away from it was I that 1 doubted whether I could hear auy ore speak fromit.My doubts were soon at rest; Mr.Lejoie, in an ordinary tone of voice, asked me to come with him to the refreshment room.I went.To describe the Park would take more space than my editor would allow me, 50 1 will be content just now to tall you of a few things which I heard and saw.In tLe first place we fjuod Mr.Lavigne ip the heighth of his glory.Tuers he was in a lsrge room leading tLe great Belgian orchestra in their frat relearsal.Oh, euch music.It was Dbeautifal and if you dcn\u2019t agree with me when you hear it I am very much mistaken, Every man of tte 40 musiciars is an artist ia every sense of the word, and the monsy which they bave cost is only one of the many eviderces tbat they are the best that can be prccured.When we left the music room we atrolled through the building, and I noticed that everything possible has been done for the comfort of patrons of the park.Dressing rooms and refreshment rooms are especially provided for those who take reserved seats in the spacious and comfortable gallery.As far as entertainment is con- cerced nothing could be better.At the opening on Wednesday nignt the full orchestra will be present and will be assisted by Miss Luckstone and Miss Vandyke, two ladies wbo have wou the highest place accorded to singers on this continent.1n addition to this that well known laughter maker Harry Kennedy has been engaged, As a veatriloguist he is one of the best I ever heard, and 1 for one shall eagerly look forward to his visit The program is excellent and there will be thousands of people present to enjoy it.x Correspondence.*®x Please tell me where to writeto a frierd of mine who is with Hi Henry's Minstrels.The company has closed its season and I donot know where you will find him excerpt through a dramatic paper, Do you know if Mrs.Langtry is coming to this country during next season?No.Ebe says she will stay in Enge land another year or two, whateyer that may mean.(6 Do you know if it is a fact that the Queen\u2019s Hall is to be occupied by the J.C.-Duff Opera Company daring the summer.Whenis Sohmer Park going to open and what kind of amusement are they going to have.By answering the above you will much oblige a reader of The Herald.In regard to the first question I may say that it is more than likely that the Duff Company will visit the Queen\u2019s Hall this summer.Iexpect to be able to give you full particulars next week, In answer to your second question please Toad my trip to Sohmer Park, To decide a bet\u2014Is there a Bijou theatre in Pittsburg?There ig.Is it \u201cThe Parlor Match\u201d Co, or the Academy which closes the season here moxt we ok?The company.=r In connection and contrast with the fees paid to latier day prima donnas, the honorarium offered to Jenny Lind by Lumley in 1846 is worth recording.The terms were £4500 for four months, wita a furn shed Louse and a carriage ani pair thrown in.IfI mistike not, these pay- : ments in kind have evtirely gone out of fesbion.x Within the past wezk or two saveral ladies of the stage whose relations have hitherto been very pleasant have found their friendships strained to the utmost point of tension.Aliss Adeline Stanhope and Minnie Seligman, who were both employed in \u201cI'he Power of the Press,\u201d do not at present speak as they pass by, and it all came out of some stage business that threatened seriously to impair the effectiveness of some of the scsnes of the play.® & * Respectfully dedicated to the man who introduced the anti-tights bill iu tte United States Congress: I.Ales! alas! it did not pass ! My law against tightson the stage ;\u2014 Press agents say tnat I\u2019m an ass; And spread upon each printed page I find atiacks upon my fame, Because.forsooth, I did ray duty In stigmatizing tights as loose Of morals and deveid of beauty.! IL Go up, ye baldheads ! go and sit Night after night in the front rows; 8it where the dizzy burlesque blonde Her foot can twirl close to each nose; No more I'll struggle 'gainst your sins, Let tights corrupt the pablic taste; And let each actress\u2019s atuire, ; ; Quite like her talent, run td waist.IIL.I care not, I have done my best ! They mock at me, this wayward throng; They clothe my horse in pantaloons, And drape my hens in skirts o\u2019er long; § On my piano\u2019s legs they put those A Huge panta-let\u2019s not not tak of thos?; Ah me ! they will not be retormed, They want more dancing and less clothes.Iv.The flashing blue and gaudy green Of marching Amazonian armies Delight the rustic gazer's eyes, = And Isay that\u2019s just where the harm is; I'd have the Amazons wear skirts; That dangle like this new spring trail; But why propose such things, to have Young men and old men at me rail?v.Go! parer fences high and low , Wilh glowing pictures of high kickers! Go range the variegated tights Where the artistic footlight flickers! I'll warn the giddy youth no more I'll wage no further useless fights; 'Tis evident the modern stage A +& 7 Can\u2019t get along without its tights! x x x * The death of Barry Sullivan is cabled from London, Eng., under date of May 3.He has long been ill and the end was not unlooked for.Mr.Sullivan was born 1n 1824, had been on the stage half a century, and first came before the American public Nov, 22.1858, when he p'ayed Hamlet at the old Broadway, fthis city.His second visit here was made in 1575.* * a CST * Miss Fanny Davenport was better yesterday, though still quite weak.She will leave th's morning on the limited in the confident expectation of being wall enough to appear in Chicago on Monday night She bas had enough this season to unnerve any woman, beginniag with the fire at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, ar d ending with the preearious condition oi her mother, upon whom she has been in attendance more Jor; less every day of ate.\u201cDIEG: wyTr XU I had a chat with a friend of mine this week regarding the famous Car- mencita.He thought that everybody here knew about her, but for my own part I don\u2019t think that she is known outside those who clossly follow up theatrical matters, The dancer Otero sailed a day or two ago for France, and she took with her as her earnings $9,000, which seeraed a colossal sum to her.But itis small compared with the earnings of Carmsn- cits, who since fashion smiled upon her bas been rapidly aiding royally to her bank account and is now worth more than §50,000.When she came to tue U.8.two « 8be did uot have a Jenny.> = The granddaughter Zof \"Charles Diek- ens, Miss Mary Dickens, has gone on the stage.She has lately made an Englih provincial tour in \u201cLittle Lord Fauntleroy.\u201d Sry oi hg * % iii Fonan Mm A weil-known Montreal told me yester- pay that he knew for a fact that a new theatre is soon to be built in this city.Heard this 80 often that 1 don\u2019t believe it PauL Pry.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Willyum Was Clever.In almost every seaside town there is some thriftless ne\u2019er-do-well, who, although he never has any regular occupation, is generally a good skipper and is always at the service of the summer resident for any job which does not bear the aspect of regular labor and includes an occasional drink.\u201cUncle Jack,\u201d of Ryemouth, was one of these characters, and he was engaged one day fora fishing trip by a Boston gentleman who was a native of the seaside town.\u201cWillyum,\u201d said Uncle Jack, who, with a pipe between his teeth, was keeping a lazy watch over the tiller, \u201cmy gals subscribed for the Home Garland awhile ago and them Bawston fellers sent me a bill the other day for $10, four years\u2019 subscription.Naow, I hain\u2019t got no $10, Willyum.Don\u2019t you think you could fix this for me when you go up to taown?\u201d The Bostonian promised to do what he could, and Uncle Jack banded him the bill from a greasy\u2019 piece of leather which he called & pocketbook.Shortly after, being out on another trip, the old man asked: \u201cWilyum, did ye fix them ere newspaper tellers?\u201d and Mr.R.answered, \u201cYes, I did, Uncle Jack.\u201d \u2018With a pleased grin tbe other inquired: \u201cAn' haow did ye manage it!\u201d Looking at his inquirer with a sober face, Mr.R.responded: \u201cWell, I went in there and told them that you were a miserable, drunken old loafer, without a cent to your name, and they settled for $3.\u201d The old man's jaw dropped a little, and after a pause of full fifteen minutes, he said: \u201cThat was clever of you, Willyum, but don't you think you kinder raised \u2014 with my reputation in Bawston?\u2019-\u2014Boston Bulletin.Latting Bim Down.Husband\u2014I won enough money last night at poker to get you a new dress.\u2018Wife (sobbing) think you might stop playing those horrid cards, John.You know what it might lead to in the end, and to think that I should ever be the wife of a gambler, This is t-t-too much.What kind of a drees shall I get?A Double Liability, She\u2014\u2018\u201cYou never hear of women cashiers embezzling or running off with their employer\u2019s money.\u201d He\u2014*\u2018Not often;

Earth, in clammy wedging earth, They banked my bed with a black, damp girth.Under the damp and under the mould, 1 kenned my breasts were clammy and cold.Out from the red beams, slanting and bright, I kenned my chesks were sunken and white, I was a dream, and the world was a dream, And yet I kenned all things that seem.I was a dream, and the world was a dream, But you cannot bury a red sunbeam.For though in the under-grave's doom-night I lay all silent and stark and white, Yet over my head I seemed to know The murmurous moods of wind and snow, The snows that wasted, the winds that blew, The rays that slanted, the clouds that drew The water-ghosts up from lakes below, And the little flower-souls in earth that grow.Under earth, in the grave's stark night, I felt the stars and the moon's pale light, I felt the winds of ocean and land That whispered the blossoms soft and bland.Though they kad buried me dark and low My soul with the seasons seemed to grow.IL I was a bride in my sickness sore, I was a bride nine months and more.From throes of pain they buried me low For death had finished a mother\u2019s woe, But under the sod, in the grave's dread doom, I dreamed of my baby in glimmer and gloom.I dreamed of my babe, and I kenned thathis rest Was broken in wailings on my dead breast.Idreamed that a rose-leaf band did cling; Oh, you cannot bury a mother in spring.\u2018When the winds are soft and the blossoms are red She could not sleep in her cold earth-bed.1 dreamed of my babe for aday and a night, And then I rose in my grave-clothes white.I rose like a flower from my damp earth-bed To the world of sorrowing overhead.Men would have called me a thing of harm, But dreams of my babe made me rosy and warm.I felt my breasts swell under my shroud; No stars shone white, no winds were loud; But I stole me past the graveyard wall, For the voice of my baby seemed to call; And 1kenned me a voice, though my lips were dumb; Hush, baby, hush, for mother is come.I passed the streets to my husband\u2019s home; The chamber stairs in a dream I clomb; I heard the sound of each sleeper\u2019s breath, Light waves that break on the shores of death.I listened aspace at my chamber door, Then stole like a moon-ray over its floor.My baby was asleep on a stranger's arm, \u201c0 baby, my baby, the grave is so warm, \u201cThough dark and so deep, for mother is there!

But my charms have vanquished, and you have wasted away, inwardly consumed by the fetich poison.Day by day, I made you drink powdered glass, and you knew it not\u2014now, I am avenged, and I will take your ill-gotten ins, as wagss of my long servitude, fom return $0 my people, from whence | your lying enanared : d >.Alida was seized with a fever, and Pythia patiently waited and watched with the girl, treating her fever skillfully with simple herbs, so that before many days she was convalescent.Then she said to her: \u201cAlida, I must leave you, and go to my people, whence I came.May the sun ever shine for you, and no shadow cross your path to molest you.I bear youno ill-will, and if I can be of use to you, speak.\u201d Now Alida remembered that the sooth-~ sayer had told her that Pythia knew who her father was; but she was afraid of the stern, dark-haired woman, and had dreaded to ask her, But now she felt encouraged.Pythia had been kind to her in her sickness, and had invited her confidence, so she said, timidly: \u201cDear Pythia, when you go I shall be left poor and all alone.Can you tell me who is my father, that I may claim his protection?\u201d \u201cI can,\u201d answered Pythia, with a grim smile, \u201cGod in heaven have mercy!\u201d cried Alida, \u201cI can bear it no longer!

Mill-street MONTREAL.9 L | | A PAINT (OBI With English Capital Invested Therein Now Being Agitated in Canada.CHANCE OF SUCCESS VERY POOR.Mr.Wm.Smaill, Manufacturers\u2019 Agent Has Been at Work on the Scheme for Months, WHAT THE DBEALERS SAY, A Few of Them are Decidedly in Favor of Such a \u2018\u2018/Consolidation,\u201d While Most of the Leading Manufacturers are Emphat- i ically Strongly Opposed to the Scheme\u2014 | The Effect Upon the Market, For a year cr {two English capital has l een freely invested in American industries of different kinds and trusts formed to further (?) the interests of trade.That Canadian industries bave also attracted the attention of these wealihy speculators seems not at all uniikely.At least they are said to be after Canada's pairt manufactories.The prospec's for another Canadian combine are very bright.An agitation wes started some time ago for the amalgamation of all pain manufactories in Canada and in yesterday\u2019s Herald a despatch from Toronto announced that the combine had been formed.A Herald reporter started out yester- -day to see what he could learn about the new \u201cconsolidation\u201d and was well rewarded for bis efforts.The Moving Spirit Talks, Mr.Wm.8maill, manufacturers\u2019 agent, who was acredited with the scheme of organizing the combine, was the first seen.He frenkly admitted that be bad had something to do with some such a scheme as the despatch mentioned, but that it bad fallen through, This scheme has been on foot, he ssid, for some time, and about a month ag-, April 2, he issued a circular to the manufacturers thooughout the Dominion pro- \u2018posing that the different manufactories should all be brought under one large company.The proposal was to \u201c counso- lidate \u201d not to combine.lt was after mature deliberation and aithorough study of the matter that he had formulat-d this scheme believing that it would be in the interest of all concerned that a \u201c con- solidaticn \u201d should be brought about.At present there were about 15 manufac tories in the Dominion competing for the trade, in many cases at ruinous rates.He was pertonaliy knowing to the fact that goods had been sold under cost in order that the selier might get them on the market, Moreover the expenses attendant upon the maintaining of these 15 separate institutions was very large, which if brought under one head could be measureably curtailed.According to his figures a consolidation of the kind proposed would save in expense alone a sum equal to a dividend of five per cent upon the capital invested.Again he said that the limited market did not require so many manufactories as at present existed, If we had the population of the United States it would be quite different, but we had not, and the supply was ous of proposition to the demand.was his experience that co-opera tion was better than competicion ard to avoid cut throat competition which was at present going on he thought the best way out was co-opera 4 cn.A Confidential Circular, The letter to wbich Mr.Smaill re firred was shown to the reporter and wes marked \u201cprivate and confidential.\u201d T} e propcsal which it contained was {bat a list of all the plant, stock, etc.in each of the manufactories should be mede out, and that their respective values should be regarded as so much atock in the single new concern.Italso stated that the names of all parties communicating with the sender would be kept a profound secret.\u2018This letter was sent to 15 different firms throughout the country, but from only two or three did it met with a favorable response.As a consequence of this indifference Mr.Smaill said the \u2018\u201c\u2018consolidation,\u201d as be was pleased to call it, was dead, for the present at least.Mr.Smaill attributed the failare of negotiations to the fact that many of tbe manufacturers objected to sinking their individuality in a large concern.Be forther stated that he was acting as an intermediary in the matter, as a paid broker, and was not in any wise personally interested in the affairs.Although Mr, Smaill did not state who tbe parties most interested in the \u201cconsolidation\u201d were they are understood to ke a syndicate of English capitalists.The Wm, E, Johnson Co.Will Not Join, Mr.Balfour, president of the Wm.E.Jobnson Co., Ltd., speaking on the subject, copsidered the despatch in yesterday morning's papers as premature, There was really nothing to found it on.There had been some two or three meetings held to discuss the matter bat nothing bad come of it and nothing was likely to.As far as the Johnson Co.was concerned, they bad decided not to entertain any proposals on the subject.That cempany would certainly not be amongst the number amalgamating.They were now doing the largest business in the Dominion; their works, stock and plant represented a very large amount of capital and it was not feasible that they should close up, sell tbeir stock, etc., and wait for a small 5 per cent.dividend, or, perbaps, no dividend at all.No one could anticipate what the prospects would be and it would be absurd for them, or other manufacturers, to place their business in the bands of a new management, of which they knew and could know absolutely nothing.Any firm doing 80 must lose all indi- viduali:y, and, in consequence, 1f the trust sould not succeed, the many years, not to speak of the trouble and money that had been expended in producing their particular brand, would be lost, A new start would have tobe made and the vltimate result conld be imagined, Mr.Balfour personally did not think it at all likely that the combine would te formed.Manufacturers Would Lose Their Individu- allty, Another prominent manufacturer who desires bis name withheld was seen, He st:ted that it was not feasible and that n« thing could come of it.In the first plece it would not be pessible to get the (anagian manufacturers to combine together.Each bad the!rindividual plant and interests and they would of necessity loge this individuality if they amalgamated ucder one management.A very large combine had quite recently been organized in the United Étstes with a capital of some $3,000,000 in the interests of the shot and lead busi- nets.À great many firms had entered tte trust and put their stock and plant in, on a basis much more advantageous to them than the proposed amalgamation here; one of the largest manufacur- ers being elected president of the trust.Now this gentleman has entered an action in the courts at Cincinatti, claiming that his firm had been induced to go into the trust by misrepresentation.Tus is significant es showing what a difficult and slmost impossible thing it is to carry on successfully such a combine.It ig proposed by the Canadian combine projectors to put things on such a fooling a shall have the effect of stimulating trade and raging prices which now are very low, it being a fact that scacely one firm is now making money.As regards its eftects in increasing trade, the present position in this respect is such tt at nearly all the factories are pusbed to their utmost to fill orders.As to raleing prices, that effect, if reached at all, woula only be tempor- arv for the public are ever averse to combines and as there would of necessity be some manufactures who would notenter the trust and who bad a good reputation inthe paiut trade, wLat was there to prevent that man forming a counter truat and undersell and consequently kill tLe existing combine.This uncoubtedly would occur, as the public would naturally buy wbere they could get & good arucle cheapest.Then again such a firm cr counter combine wou'd have retained their old customers, the reputation of their brand and consequently their individuality.In this gentleman\u2019s opinion there was not the slightest chance of the proposed combine materialising.Mr, Famsay Dou\u2019t Think it Will Win, Mr, hameay, of the firm of A.Ramsay & Son, ha not seen the despatch in The Herald.but on being shown it did not hesitate about saying there is nothing in it at all.\u201cThere was talk about it some time ago.Nothing, however, was done ard notbing woula be done.\u201d He had nothing further to say on the subject at all.P.D.Dodds & Co.Are Opposed to it.Speaking of the combine the manager for P.D.Dodds & Co.said that there had been some talk of organizing a combine and their firm had been approached in the matter.For the last six weeks he bad heard nothing of the matter and did not expect to.Aeked as to whether his firm would join a combine he replied emphatically, \u201cNo, they would not, it would de detrimental to their interests to do so.\u201d \u2018When asked why that would be the case, he replied that \u201ctheir firm are making epecial brands of colors which are well known and are the results of long years of practical experience.If a combine was in operation and a central factory was established, specific brands would be in danger of losing their identity, and farther the public would have no means of knowing whether they were getting the genuine article until they experimented with the new colors of the combine.All the labor and money spent in producing their goods would be lost in a vain attempt to make & little more by monopoly.It the combine was organised it would no doubt try to kill their firm by opposition, but he wes of the opinion that notwithstanding such opposition the firm would outlast the combine, The average life of a combine is, in tbis gentieman\u2019s opinion, \u2018about five years, and in that time he thought their firio would have increased their trade, ag be did not imagine that their customers would prefer to pay more for anun- known quality of color when they could get for iess money the class of goods which bad hisherto given good satisfaction.Ferguson, Alexander & Co.Would Like It.Ferguson, Alexander & Co.whose managing partner, Mr.Munro, is away in the west, were called on and Mr.W.H.Evans was found in charge.This gentleman stated that as far as he was awdre personally there had been some talk of a combine but that things had never been put into shape and he was sure there was nothing of the kind on the tapis at present.\u2018When asked whether his firm were in favor of a combine Mr.Evans said they would be in favor of a combine, if it would tend to stop the ridiculous cutting in prices going on and prevent so much lead and colors with fictitious labels being foisted on the public.The reporter asked Mr.Evans whether a combine would not cause the vari- ovs brands now manufactured to lose their positicn in the market, By way cfreply Mr.Evans took him into the factory and showed him a brand of color which the firm had spent 50 years in producing and that if the com- bire would necessitate a central factory making all brands, how was any ope to know whether the brand which would be called for and represented as the one made by them would be guaranteed.The same men would not be making it and the probabilities were that the brand would not be as good.In the event of a suitable combine being formed, the ublic would demand their favorite rands, and unknown snd bogus brands would be left out in the cold.It might be better for the public, but whether the proprietors of those brands which are not known would care to lose their identity 18 more difficult to judge.The success of any combine would be problematical.: Mr, Evans says hat the feeling in the city seems to be tbat combines are not very favorably thought of in paints and oils.Lewis Bros.Favor the Scheme., Mr.F.Lew\u2019s, of Lewis Bros., when spoken to about the matter said that be had heard of the proposal to form a combine, and as a wholesaler he would be lad to see it brought about.It had fal.en through, however, but possibly it might be revived in the fall.As matters row stood the paint business was in worse than a chaotic state, and there was vot a cent to be made 80 keen bad the competition become.In reply to the question if in his opinion & combine would raise tbe price of paints, he replied mcat certainiy, but at the same time consumers would get a better quality than at present, He added thas the.failure cf the combine was due to the bucking of a single manufacturing firm in the city.Hill & Forbes Against It.Mr.Hill, of Hill & Forbes, wholesale and retail paint and oil dealers, was also seen.He said that he had heard nothing of the proposed combine, ' \u201cWhat would be your attitude towards THE MONTREAL HERALD SATURDAY MAY 9.1891 it in the event of & combine being formed ?\u201d \u201cI do not encourage combines in any sbape or form, and as I have managed to do business altogether outside ofthem so far, I think that I can get along wich- out having anything to Jo with them in futore.\u201d .\u201cDo you think that such a combine wonld last any length of time?\u201cNo, I do not.\u201d R.C, Jamieson & Co.Will Stay One: The next firm called on was Messrs.R.C.Jamieson & Co., manufactarers of varnished, paints, etc.\u201cYes,\u201d said Mr.Jamieson, when asked by The Herald man, whether he had heard of the proposed combine, \u201cI heard ofitsome six or seven months ago.Efforts were made then to start it at once and I received enquires, as to whether I would co-operate in this matter.I took so little stock in the scheme that I did not even reply to the enquiries.As it bas hung fire so long I du not think it will amount to anything.\u201cIn the event of a combine being formed you would not, then unite ?\u201d \u201cWell, I do not think so.From what I know of the scheme, I do not think we should fall in with 1t.\u201cDoubtless, an effort will be made to close up the smaller concerns.\u2019 \u201cYes, but they will tind that the small manufacturies are not so easily frczen out.\u201d Would be Sorry to See it Formed., Mr.Johu F.Gibsone, manufacturers\u2019 agent, 10 Sacremout-street, said he sbould be personally very sorry to see a combine formed because it would possibly prevent his selling wherever he wished to.\u2018 However,\u201d he said, * the scheme is very much in embryo so far.The chief trouble seem to be the large amount of money required to give the profits that were expected to be realized.He was of the opinion that a syndicate of English capitalists was at the back of the scheme, Mr, A.Frappier Would Favor it, RB A.Frappier & Company are wholesale and retail dealers ia paints and oils on Craig-street.The head of the firm was asked if he had heard of the proposed combine.\u201cNo,\u201d be said, \u201cI have not.\u201d The reporter then read to him the despatch published in yesterday\u2019s Herald.\u201cI am very glad to hear it,\u2019said Mr.Frappier.\u201cOf course, I have mot had time to study the subject, tboroughly, butif & combine were gotten up having as its basis the improvement of the trade in Canada I think it would do good.There has been for the past few years a cuiting of one another's throats between wholesale men.Each bas been trying to undersell the other and the consequence is that the market is flocded with trash.If a combine were formed it would be the means of raising the slandard of Canadian paints.My cuttomers sre principally first-class painters, who want the best, and as the Canadian product has deteriorated so much, they are buying American goods.\u201d He also said that if the sale of paints was conficed to the paint-men and not including the varnish men, it would materially benefit the trade, as the latter often sold paint at cost, making their profit on varnishes.A OOLOR C MBINE.Paint Manufacturers Getting Ready to Or- ganise\u2014Factories to Ba in Toronto, Montreal and Halifax.From The Toronto News.The latest thing in combines is a proposed union of the paint mauufacturers in Canada.The firms which are about to enter into combination are A.G.Yeuchen & Co.and the Toronto Lead and Color Company, of this city ; Wm.Johnston & Co., Ferguson & Alexander, \u2018Wm.Ramsay & Co., P.T.Dodds & .Co., of Montreal, and Henderson & Potts, or Halifax, There are to be thres factories; one in Toronto, one in Montreal and one in Halifax.The nominal capital will be $1,600,000, and the paid up capital about $700,000 or $800,000.The originator of the scheme is Wm.Smaill, manufacturers\u2019 agent, Montreal, and all the establishments mentioned have fallen 1n with the idea.The only thing in the way of immediate orzaniza- tion is the fact that two of the directors of the Johnston factory in Montreal are oprosed to going into the arrangement.Is 1s thought, however, that these two will be soon brought over to the will of the majority.Lists of questions have been sent out to be filled up by the factories mentioned giving the amount of business done, the value of plants, etc.J.W.French, secretary of A.G.Peuchen & Cos manufactory, told a News reporter this morning that the idea of the combine was to stop the cutting of prices by manufacturers, to cut down expenses, save bad debts and make the margin of profit on goods larger thereby.It would save $25,000 a year in travelling expenses alone, he said, to say nothing of freights, etc.When the combine is formed it will pay a dividend of 20 per cent, according to calculations, as the manufacturers can treble their output with the same expense as at present.Mr.French said that the combine would not affect the general trade in prices.It would bave a tendercy to better the trade, as finer goods could be made at the prices which prevail now, and there would be less adulteration of stcck.To show that the combine could not put prices away up on the trade, he explained that many of the shareholders and directors of the combine are in the jobbing trade tbemselves.The matter will be in abeyance until the Montreal objectors come into line, re

WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE COMMERCIAL SITUATION, No Material Change From Like Week of Last Year, Though Cold Weather Has Hindered, SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD.New York, May 8.\u2014Special telegrams to Bradstreets, as in preceding weeks, do nct show a general growth in the vol- ame of trade in staples, although there are instances where business is reported quite active and equal to expectations, even exceeding mest of the like weeks a year ago, Minneapolis tells such a story as does St.Paul, and somewhat modfied the like is true of Omaha.There has been a pronounced giia at Chicago.Nowhere else are announced expanded volumes of business and records in excess of 1890.Cold weather has interrupted the buying of some seasonable goods, but not seriously, West and south the crop outlook is all that could be desired.Sugar is eaid to be a little late in Louisiana and spring wheat in the Northwest, but except the probability of a smaller area planted to cotton this month sll agricultural staples promise heavier yi.lds than last year.Industrial disturbances the firat week in May have been numerous and costly.Nearly 25,000 coal miners struck for various causes, although a general eight bour demand was not made.The totat number of industrial workers on strike is pot far from 50,000 as compared with 54,000 one year ago.Crude iron on the whole has not gained any strengtb.There is no improvement among yarn spinners,or,manutacturers of print cloths, prices of the latter having declined to 215-16c less 1 per cent, the lowest ever reached.Low grade domestic woolis lc lower.- Leather and hides are dull without change.Lumber is quite variable, being in disappointingly slow demand at Bos:on and Philadelphia, but in good demand at Minneapolis and St.Louis.Tobacco ig somewha$ more active and a shade higher at Cincinnati, but is slow of sale at Philadelphia.Tin plate is advancing in California on the prcspect fora very large fruit crop there.: Bugar is weak aud icoffon raw and refined on weakness abroad.Gold shipments, fears of light money aud uneasy conditions abroad have created a depressed tendency in share speculation, although the harmonious railroad meeting, the punishmen of rate cutting and the adoption of plans to render the Western railroad agreement more stringent had a sustaining effect._ Exports cf wheat and flour az wheat increased again this week, equaling (from the United States exclusively) 2,- 273,174 bushels.The total July 1 to May 7is 84,170,043.In a like portion 1890 was 93,270,000 bushels.Official reports with estimates indicate that only about 77,000,000 bushels of wheat visible and invisible remained in the United States on May 1.Total stocks of wheat, United States and Canada, afloat for Europe and available in Europa show tbat supplies have fallen off, Jan.1 to May 1, 1891, only 16,075,000 bushels, compared with 38,096,000 bushels in à like portion of 1890 and 43,966,000 bushels in 1889.In the province of Ontario ganeral wholesale trade 18-enly fairly active with collections moderately prompt.Staple groceries are more active at Torovto.Dry goods sales at Montreal have been out Quebec trade is quiet.Cattle export business is good.The Dominion raports 31 business failures this week against 41 last week and 26 this week last year.The total number Jan.1 to date ig 777, against 724 last year, ; \u2014_\u2014 For

L, E.Morin, jr; O.Faucher, J.Contant and C.H.Catelli.The duty on raw sugar came in for the lion\u2019s share of the deliberations of the council.After a lengthy discussion in which all present tock part, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: \u201cResolved, that owing tothe fact of the American Government having suppressed the duties on raw sugars imported into the United States, this Chamber is of the opinion that the Canadian Government should likewise suppress the duty on the same sugars entering the Dominion, with a view to placing the Canadian sagar trade on a similar footing to same trade in the United States, and also with a view to preventing smuggling to Canada from the United States.\u201d A resolution of condolence with the family of the late Mr.J.C.Marchand, in his lifetime a wholesale grocer in the city and a mem- ter of the Chamber, was passed.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 He Wants His License Renewed.A petition for the issue of a writ of mandamus was up before Judge David- gon, in chambers, yesterday.St.Amour, a hotelkeeper of St.Francois de Salles, wanted to compel the local council to renew the licenge Le has held for the past 16 years, and which they refuse t> renew.There seems to be no reason for refusing it, resting on the option of the council.It was argued that the council could exercise their discretion in a case of this kind.Insumming up vesterday morning the learned judge said that tbe license law of 1878 gave a power of discretion to municipalities, but this clause was repealed by 44-45 Vic., cap.4, which sets forth when licenses shall be refused and would seem to leave no alternative with the parish municipalities but to grant the license when all the conditions and formalities Lave been complied with, although the power of uiscretion still exists with the City Commissioners.His Honor considered the question of sufficieat im portance to deserve more than a mere decision in Chambers and consequently ordered the writ to issue with a view to Lave it fully argued in open court.ell an.ot \u2014\u2014 AMUSEMENTS OF THE DAY.The Conservatory of Montreal Orchestral Concerts, The reputation of the European artist: who form the grand orchestra of the Montreal Conservatory of Music which appears for the first time in America in the Queen\u2019s Hall on Monday and Tuesday evenings for that most deserving charity, the Protestant Hospital for the Insane, is of the best.The honors conferred on the individual members of the orchestra is a sufficient guarantee of its greatness.Among the artists composing the orchestra, who are to act as professors at tke Conservatory, are: Achille Lejeune, violin soloist, first prize, with highest honors.M.Goulet, violin soloist, first prize, with highest honors.Jean Closset, violin soloist, first prize;

He felt proud that on this, the first occasion on which he had addressed a public meeting in Canadas, he shonld have been obliged to speak, not of the cruel persecutions which Ireland hid suffered during recent years at the hands of an alien government, but of the division which unbappily exisred in the hitherto united ranks of the Irish national party.His colleague and himself had come to take rounsel with the Irish people of the United States and Canada as to the crisis in the Irish situation.There were those who had stated that it was unwise to introduce into the country the trouble that now distracted the Irish Parliamentary party.(A voice: \u201cWhere will you get a fair jury if you don\u2019t come to America?\u2019\u2014laughter and cheers).He justified the action of his colleague and himself by stating that the Irish people in the United States and Canada had sustained Mr.Parnell in his long struggle for Irish freedom during the last 16 years and bad therefore a right to be informed of the true mature of the trouble which had recently arisen in the ranks of his party.Surely Mr.Parnell was entitled, after 16 years of suffering and struggling for Ireland, after the matchless services he had rendered during that time to his coantry, to ask that, before ha was coat aside, his representatives should be hsard in America and Canada.(Cheers) Mr.Redmond compla\u2018ved of the character of the news taat was cabled to the press on this continent about Irish affairs.It was ell one-sided.The news agencies has been \u2018\u201c\u2018captu red by the opposite party.\u201d This was an additional reason why Mr.Parnell\u2019s representatives should come over here to state the facts of the case; and baving stated them, to aek the people on this side ¢f the Atiantic whether tney (the Paropellites) were not justified in taking the stand which they had.He then entered into a lengthened dedcrip- tion of the causes which\u2014viewed from the Parnellites\u2019 standpoint\u2014had produced the present crisie.If was not because an English jury had given a verdict against Mr.Parnell in the divorce court that Mr, Parnell had been asked to resign, It was because English opinion and influenca had been brought to bear upon affairs which should only be considered and settled by the representatives of Ireland.(Cheers) Mr.Redmond then\"went on togive a decided ly ad captandum picture of the efforts of the English Government to traduce the characier of Mr.Parnell, and to drive him out of public life.English money, he said, \u201ctens of thousands of pounds eterlir g,\u201dto tempt Irish conviots living in British dundecns, aud yearning for their liberty, to come forward and perjare themselves in order to ruin Mr.Parnell.Then came the Piggott episade.All their attempts bad failed, The present would fail too.(Applause).Parnell offered no de\u2019erce in the divorce case.He had his own reasons.The Irish people believed in their hearts that when the truth became known Parnell would not appaar to be altogether 80 guilty as he was now thought to be.(a pplause.) For his own part, it all England accused Parnell of having failed in bis duty he would say that ail Eug- land lied.The Leiuster Hall meeting and the sssembly in the famous \u201c committee room No.15 \u201d of the House of Commons were nex t alluded to in detail, and the McCarthyites were denounced as persons who are \u201c making the very air of Ireland foul with their denunciations of Mr.Parnell\u201d The origin of all the trouble was Mr.Gladstone's declaration that he would not give Home Rule to Ireland unless the Irish party salected someboly else to lead them ios'ead of Mr.Parnell, But men like himself and James O'Ke:1y would let Gladstone know that they would never desert Parnell (applause).Then Mr.Redmond began to abuse the Liberal party.Irishmen were \u201chunted like dogs by police on their own land under Gladstone.\u201d Parnell was next described by the young Irish orator as a man who bad \u201cfought single-handed the whole Erglish nation,\u201d and as \u201cthe mag ical 1rishmar\u201d who had brought the two Engl'sh parties to his feet.\u2018They (tbe Parnellites) would continue to sap- port their leader because of his ability lis experience, and his unselfish devotion to his countrv (cheers) and be- catse he had made :t :he vita! prnciple of his pa ty tr remain indep>ndent unti: tt ey left tne Bat sh Hous» of Common forge od.(Cheers.) Many influences wer working againet them\u2014(a voice on the platform: \u201cReme\u201d.)

CIVIC COMMITTEES MEET.A LETTER FROM MR, LUSHER BEFORE THE ROAD MEN, An Alderman Makes a Well Timed Protest Against Closing the Quarry\u2014A Sensation at the Finance Moeting, The Road Committee met yesterday afternoon.Ald.Prefontaine presided and all the other members ot the committee were preser.t.Petitions were received from proprietors in St Catherine-street asking that the paving should be dome in io.stalments and not at the same time so as to avoid the inconvenience which would result from the obstraction of traffic; from proprieters on Ontario- street and Pine-avenue protesting against the cost of sewers there; from proprietors and tenants of Notre-Dame-street west asking for a new roadway.Thibaudeau appeared before the coms the committee to urge that it should purchase from theMontreal Jail a large quantity of broken stone.There was at present 25,000 tons of broken stone in the yards there, which were consequently full.Hitherto the city bad taken all the stone from the jail.If the city did not take this stone at once, or a considerabla quantity of it, it would be necessary to stop the work and thus keep 300 prisoners idle inside the jail all through the gummer months.Mr.St.George said that as the Road Department was financially situated at present, if they took the stones from the jail they would have to stop work on their quarry.Ald.Prefontaine asked the city surveyor whether it would bs cheaper to take stone from the jail or the quarry.Mr.St.George replied that figuring it out from the price vsually paid to the jail for broken stone, it would cost more to cart stone from the jail than from the uarry.Sheriff Thibaudeau said that he would give the stone for 80 cents a ton instead of $1 as was charged before.Ald.P.Kennedy protested against any arrangement which wonld necessitate the closing of the quarry, thus throwing horest mex out of work in order to find employment for convicts.Mr.St.George suggested that the stone at the jail might be utilized for conerete for permanent paving, if they insisted that the contractors should do the work by day work.Several streets in the neighborhood of the jail would be permanently paved soon, and it would be very convenient to take the stone therefrom.The sheriff was asked to writs to the committee on the subject which he had brought forward, and was assured that the committee would report to council.Ald.Prefontaine, when the sheriff had gone, stated that it was possible that the male inmates of the jail might be employed upon the quarries next winter, We paid thousands of dollars every year for the maintenance of prisoners, for which we get no return.He thought we should turn their labor to as profitable an account as possible.It was decided to ask council to grant a special appropriation of $10,000 for the purchase of broken stone from the jail, $2000 this year, $8000 next year.A letter was received from Mr.Lusher, manager of tbe Street Railway company stating that their line up to St.Jean Baptiste-street would be ready to-day (Saturday).Another letter from the same source complained of a deep and dangerous gully on the same route near Park-avenue, within a few feet of the tracks; and the company said that they would hold the city responsible 1or any damages a ising from loss of life and injury to property caused by the failure of the city to provide safeguards.The secretary was asked to acknowledge the receipt ot these communications,and also of a protest from the Street Railway Company against a bill which the city bad compelled them to pay last year in connection with their lines.A bill for over $3000 for work done, delays, etc., in connection with opening streets, was read from the company, amid laughter, and referred to the city attorney.Mr.Lusher also asked that the Road Committee would give them permission to take up the tracks on St.Lawronce- street, so that the company might lay down a double track.The city surveyor reported in favor of granting the petition of proprietors on Notre-Dame and St.James-street that the asphalt should not be watered during the day.Ald.Prefontaine brought up the subject of the speclal appropriation of $35,- 000 for grading, etc., Pine-avenue, On- tario-street, and a portion of St.Catherine.He suggested that he should go before the Finance Committee and ask for the money out of their appropriation for next year, since the work had been begun.it was resolved to report to council in favor of 8 new by-law on sewers.: The Finance Meeting.Yesterday afternoon the Finance Committee held a meeting under the membership of Ald.Rolland, there being a'so present Ald.Martineau, Farrell, McBride, Hurteau, Perreault, Prefon- taine, Wilson and Malone.A letter was received from ex-Ald.Beauchamp declining to act as a witnesg in tbe expropriation of Inspector-street.Mr.Louis Lepage was nominated in his ace, Ald.Prefontaine brought up the £ubject of the special appropriation of $35,0C0 for the grading, ete., of Pine- avenue, Ontario-street and St.Catherine- street.He said thst much of the work had already been done.It was strange that the city attorney bad decided that grading was not permanent work.The opening of new sires 8 was permanent work, but not the grading of them.He a-ked that the Finance Committee should give them the money and charge it to tbe Road Committee\u2019s appropriation fur next year.} It was reeolved to recommend the council to sanction this.Ald.Prefontaine took occasion tr observe that he doubted the soundness of the opinion given by the city attorney that grading was not a permanent improvement.However, steps wouli be taken to amend the bylaw at the nex session cf ti e Provincial Legislature, A little sensation was created whe Ald.Prefontaine incidentally remarked that there was no sewer o.Drummond-atreet, above Sherbrooke: street.Large houses worth from $40,000 to $50,000 were situated there and they bad for the last 12 years cr more been draining into cesspools.1be members of the committes ex- | pressed their astonishment that this should te so.A pew asphalt sidewalk was asked for Prince Arthur-street, the city to pay ha!f the cost, and this was concurred in, The report ofthe Road Committee on permanent improvements was then read | and discussed.The following was agreed stood animal on this succeestul deal.to:
