Bill Withdrawn\u2014Admis- sien by the Government that its Agents in the Recent Election Were Active Fartisans-How the Public Works Are Manipulated in Government Interest, FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.Orrawa, May 15,\u2014\u201cAre the members going to te kept here till the dog days discussing questions of procedure?\u201d This was the purport of a question asked by Mr.Barron in the House today, and it is the question in the mind of every man in Parliament who wishes to expediate the business of the Government.Practically nothing was done today except to advance by one stage a few of the bills on the order paper Mr.Burdett moved his bill to prevent fravds on farmers in the sale of seed grain and other articles.The bill is designed to make false representations as to the value of an article sold by an agent on the nature of an order there fore punisbable by fine and imprisonment.Spent on the River.In] answer to Mr.Delisle, Sir Hector said that $438,334 had been paid to the Harbor Commissioners and $226,554 to other parties for the deepening of the St.Lawrence river between Quebec and Montreal, between July 1887, and June 30, 1889, As to the names of parties to whom this money was paid Sir Hector said that it would take three weeks to go over the vouchers and he declined to give the information.Partisan Returning Officers, Sir.Hector also told Mr.Delisle that the Government was aware that several revising officers charged with the duty of preparing the electoral lists in the Province of Quebec had during the late general elections taken part in the contest at the hustings.Tbat Tunnel, Mr.Foster announced, in answer to Mr.Perry, that Sir Douglas Fox had made an estimate of the cost of the Prince Edward Island tunnel ag follows: For a tuncel of 11 feet diameter, £1,075,- 000; of 16 feet, £1,971,000, and of 18 feet, £1,990,000.These estimatss include the cost of land, tunnels and other contingencies.Not Informed, Mr.Bowell stated in reply to Mr.Cho- quette that the Government had not been informed that Eugene Hammond an alleged officer of Customs at Mont- magny had illegally seized and confiscated a certain quantity of liquor belonging to F.T.Lamonde, tavern keeper at Montmagny ; and that after having sent it up to Quebec he was afterwards obliged to give it back to the said La- monde, in as much as the duty upon it Lad been paid in due form.Standard Time.Mr.Kirkpatrick moved for copies of all letters, communications and reports in the possession of the Government relating to the fixing of a standard of time and the legalization thereof.He urged that a definite standard of time should be legalized.Without the necessary legislation in this respect there was, he said, much trouble.For instance,banks and polls, on election day, were often illegally opened and closed.Railway time and not local or solar time was frequently employed.Mr.Tupper stated that legislation on the subject was being considered by the Government.A Charge.The lagging pulse of Parliament was slightly agitated by a well-spoken charge made by Mr.Barron against Mr.Tup- per.The House is beginning to be interested in Mr.Tupper on account of the growing number of these complaints.Mr.Barron's protest is against the dismissal of J.R.Graham, of Fenelon Falls, from the cffice of fishery inspector for that district.He moved for all documents relating to this dismissal and said Mr.Graham had filled the office for years with perfect satisfaction to everybody.He had always been a good Conservative, but recently in his wisdom he had seen fit to support the Liberal candidate for Victoria (Mr.Barron) In the last election.That was the head and front of his offending and for that he was turned out on the world, One of his (Mr.Barron\u2019s) political opponents had boasted of having secured tbe dismissal of Mr, Graham.He therefore demanded an explanation from the Minister of Marine.Mr.Tupper stated that serious charges had been preferred against Mr.Graham.He would bring down the correspondence and [make Mr.Barron take back his% insinuations Fishery Bounties, Mr.Flint was referred to the blue- book, page 18, for information.With regard to the distribution of fishery bounties, Sir Richard Cartwright moved for a return giving comparative statements of receipts and expenditures from July 1, 1890, to May 10, 1891, and from July 1, 1889,to May 1v, 1890, and stated that it would save trouble if Mr.Foster would bring down all information on this subject.Second Readings.The following private bills wera read second time: To amend the acts relating to the Alberta Rallway avd Coal Company.Respecting the Lake Temiscamingne colonisation.Respecting the E.B.Eddy Manufac- tuiing Cp.to change its name to the E.B.Eddy Coy.To incorporate the McKay Milling Co.Treat Valley Canal Mr.Barron again raised the question with regard to the Trent Valley Canal, which Mr.Burdett asked yesterday.He said that in doing so be wished to call A -\u2014 4 the attention of the House to a telegram sent by Sir John Macdonald to Dr.Mur- by, of Trenton.That telegram wassenton March 3, just two days before the elections, and it told the electors of that district tbat the project was reported on favorably by the commission, yet strange to say a member of the Executive (Sir Hector) could not tell the House this fact when asked to do so by a member yesterday.Sir John Macdonald promised to bring down the report last session and he (Mr.Barron) submitted that there should be no further delay, as the question was one of great national interest and should not be held in a bey- ance tor election purposes.8ir Hector replied that it was a matter outside his department and hence he could not give the information.He was sure Sir John would keep his promise and bring down the report, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014e (TORONTO TOPICS.Off to Englana\u2014The G, A.R.\u2014The Bay Front Ditfeulty.SPECIAL TO THE HRRALD, Toroxro, May

of Italian emigrants bound for America.A panic seized them as soon as the vessels came together.It was found that the Stura\u2019s bow had been stove in and that the starboard side of the Buccaneer had been damsged.No one on either steamship was found to have been injored.The damage to both vessels was so serious, however, that they were obliged to put immediately into port for repairs.\u2014\u2014 New Car Works, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, New York, May 15.\u2014The John Stephenson Company, car builders, have urchased the Bernie farm, between archmont and Mamaroneck, and will

Position Shown \u2014The Wioner of the Brooklyn Haadi- cap\u2014The Lacrosse Match thls Afier- noon\u2014The Cresceat Again in the Swim, \u2014 The lacrotse loving public of Montreal who have anticipated the formation of the new league between Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa have had their hopes dashed to the ground, as the old fouar- club league will run and Montreal will give exhibition games with Toronto and other clubs during the \u2018season, leaving the other four to carry out their series without any intentional interference.\u2018We predicted a few days ago that some ttartling revalations would be made in reference to the proposed organization of the triangular league, but things were kept remarkably quiet awai- ing an official reply from Ottawa as to whether they had decided to remain in the newly composed league or not.Up to last night no reply had been received by the Montreal Club but Toronto received a telegram from the Capital announcing the Ottawa\u2019s inten tion of staying where they were and this is a certain indication to Montreal that \u201d the \u201cOttawas own proposal\u201d had fallen through.In consequence some correspondence bearing on the cise is herewith presented.It is published for a dual purpose; first to show that the Montreal- ors contrary to the accusations of a certain faction in Montreal were in no way connected with an attempt to induce the Ottawas to organize a triangular leagua it being the sole desire of the latter, and secondly showing what a remark ably fine somersault the Ottawa Club took in such a short spacd of time.The club as the first communication infers was more than anxious to leave its present posi- \u201c tion and within a few days made a complete \u201cflop over.\u201d This strange proceed- * ings tends to bear out the rumors put * into circulation to the effect that some great weight was brought to bear on the club during the time which elapsed from one meeting to the other, and 1t is safe to say that the allegations already made in The Herald are about correct, and the Capitals seeing disaster abead, in the event of the Ottawas retiring, put their thumbs down on the club with threats which might mean \u201cthe exposure of some of the Ottawa club players for professionalism or something in that line like\u201d The Ottawas immediately deemed it advisable to remain where they are and still were sorry for writing tbe letter which was received by the Montreal and Toronto clubs.This letter is either a direct falge- Rood in the first place or else delegate Kent did not act according to his instruc- bons and were it is believed generally, that he 1s not the one to blame but that tbe club was tyingto play a doubla game and place bim in a peculiar and very unworthy position.The way was dark and lonely but the light brought out fresh developments which will open the eyes of the public and show how a club like Ottawa which has heretofore been respected can act the dual role and still expect; to be held up in prominence.The Montrealers never wante | the club, that is they@made nog advancement to them, a8 far as coming into a new league, and the same is applicable to Toronto.After the assertions made by the Ottawa Club to Montreal and the subsequent decision at the meeting on Mon- aay last, \u201cliar and treachery\u201d is marked somewhere in the Capital, and the mere fact that they have refrained from notifying the Montreal Club of their action bears this statement out.The game will go on with the four clubs, and the Shamrocks, such an old and respected combination, ought to be thankful that they are not connected in any way with the present melee, and still should not feel eafe at having been scheduled to play with such a club, who are pie to their face, and yet atempting to give them tke cross under cover.Montreal and Toronto also ought to be the most sat.s- fled set to-day, and so far as the team here is concerned we can say that they are free from a league and are at liberty to play where and when they will, though tbe following games have been, arranged with Torcnto: May 25,at Toronto,\u201d June 16, at Montreal.July 1, at Toronto.August 16 or 22, at Montreal.September 12, at Toronto.September 26, at Montreal.Two other matches may be playea besides the above, but a glance at the four club league achedule will show that the dates are not conflictingfand there is no attempt at opposition in the least.At the meeting of the six club delegates in the Windsor or at least, a short time revious to the meeting, it is to the knowledge of the writer that Mr.Taylor ofthe Montreal approached Mr.Kent and informed him that Toronto and Montreal would receive tbe knife and asked if in the event of Montrèal and Toronto going out would Ottawa go in for a three club league.The answer from the Ottawa man was that be had no au- therify to close and negotiation and after the meeting wben the knife did descend with such effect, the Torontos and Mont- realera declared that they were finished with Ottawa.However a letter was subscquently written by the senators to Toronto and Mr.Garvin made its contents open fo Mr.Taylor whose answer to Garvin, was as follows: MONTREAL, May 1.MY DEAR GARVIN\u2014We are perfectly satisfied to see the new league run aloug if It can, and as already advised we will entertain no roposition without consulting your club.Ehould one come we can together consider it in its merits, but we will not be disappointed if we don\u2019t hear from them.Personally I am surprised at the Ottawa reports of Mr.Kent's utierances and I am inclined to think they are published with a view of drawing out a renewal of the offer, If so I am sorry for them, &s no such offer will ever again be made to them.We have heard nothing from Ottawa and I think weshould pay no attention to anything but an official communication.We certainly made to Kent a offer and we should make no further over- Lures to them, let them come to us.Yours etc, JAS.A.TAYLOR, .This rather shows that the Montrealers were in no way inclined to join in with Ottawa.However the following letter gentifrom Ottawa to Montreal and \u2018Toronto on April 30, seems to throw light on the position of the Ottawa Club and shows their double dealing : OTTAWA, April 30.To the, Secretary of the Montreal Lacrosse ub: Dear Sir:\u2014At the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Ottawa Lacrosse Club held on Tuesday evening last I was instructed to write Montreal and Toronto Lacrosse Clubs on the present unsatisfactory state ot lacrosse matters with a view of ascertaining whether or not something could be done in the way of a remedy.Doubtless neither you nor Toronto are quite aware of the extremely difficult position in which the Ottawas have been placed in this business, You.who have been so long acquainted with the workings of lacrosse, can understand how we in asmall mixed community like Ottawa with party feelings running high in other lines than that of lacrosse, this stute of things arises and in how difficult a position it places a club like ours, which for some time back has been earnestly endeavoring to elevate the game to the position ot respectability which all its admirers would desire to see it occupy.In our effort to this end we have, especia y during the past year, been fairly successful and felt that this\u201d year we were in a position to put a team in the field of whom we could be proud and who, in regard to personuel and inuividual character, any team in the league would have no reason to say that they were such as they could have any objections to associate with The instructions given by us to our delegate were so clear and précise that we are at a loss, from his report, to understand how things have taken the,unfortunate shape they have.Briefly they were these: at a meeting of the N.A.L.A.and of the sixclub league he was to vote for the admission of the Caps provided à six club league could be formed, but not to do 80 iftheresult was to be the withdrawal ot the Torontos or Montrealers or either of them.We desired above all things to retain our connection with these two teams\u2019 as the leading exponents ef amateur lacrosse and would certainly decline to accept the Caps or any other team in their place.Our instructions went even further than this.At a meeting of our executive held two days betore the meeting in Montreal last Friday our delegate was further instructed to the following effect viz.: that before the meeting he should see Montreal and Toronto delegates and ascertain from them whether or not in the event of their still refusing to schedule with the Caps, they were willing to form à three league series with Ottawa and Toronto, leaving the other three to do as they ~aw fit.We thought this might be done and that it might be arranged that each team might play with the other two, two home matches, which would give the same number of games during the season as in the old longue and at the same time have no more travelling than heretotore.Snch an arrangement as a club we were most anxious in the interest of lacrosse and for the sake of maintaining our connection with Montreal and Toronto to enter into, How things went £0 far wrong as they did we do not understand, Qur delegate informs us that he expressed this desire to enter into this arrangement with you, but that Toronto would not give any idea ol their intention and that he made arrangements with the prose nt league lest he might Le left in the 00) In view of this state of things I write you to seo if this league: Toronto, Montreal and ourselves could not be formec and ifso on what conditions?We shall be glad to know your feelings as a elub in the matter, 1 write 10 Toronto to the same effect.Yours truly Jxo OGILVIR, Sec.O.L.C, In reply to the above letter the following was sent : MONTREAT.May 6.JNo.OGILVIE, ESQ, Hon.-secretary Ottawa Lacrosse Club.DEAR SIR.\u2014In reply to your favor of April 30, I am instructed to inform you that as our schedule with the Toronto Club is already drawn up, we think it advisable for you to make formal application to play in a series with our two clubs.I may say that if your application is satisfactory to Toronto we have BO objection to your admission providing you agree to cancel all matches made with the other league.Yeurs truly = GEOBGE BAIRD, hon.-sec.M.L.C.Meantime J.A.Taylor sen} the following to Mr.Garvin, Toronto: MONTREAL, May 4.DEAR MR.GARVEN\u2014I have yours of Saturday and note remarks.We also have heard from Ottawa and our secretary has simply acknowledged receipt and promise: te bring the matter up at our next committee meeting.Withregard to a three-club league with Ottawa as one of the three, my ewn opinion 1s that there is nothing in it for either Montreal or Toronto.Ottawa is a miserable city 10 go to and the public treat us like a lot of thieves.I thin rsonally that we gave Ottawa a better show than they deserved when we made Kent the offer we did, and that not having accepted it they should not get another.If We are to have a league let us have it small snd composed of the best teams, which I fancy would have the Shamrocks in it.However, our committee will meet to-morrow and £{ will write Fou fully on the result, I may report we will work in harmony with your club.Yours truly, JAS.A.TAYIOR, The final communication was received by telephone on Monday last previous to tbe meeting of tbe Ottawa Executive Committee and Mr.Seybold did the talking at the other end on behalf of Ottawa and we admire him for his interference and unprecedented cheek, based on the fact that he 18 not a member of the ruil ing element of the Ottawa team.He wanted to know if Montreal could form à three-club league with Toronto and Ottawa, the latter to continue playing in the pew league as well.Montreal was sstounded and the reply was brief, but spicy, and must bave sounded well at tbe other end.Serretary Baird merely said \u201ccertainly not,\u201d and Ottawa gave up the ghost.Thaws all, but it shows what strange things transpire now and again in lacrosse circles.The pew league will open up their games on June 6, 88 arranged and after all Ottawa will \u201creligiously\u201d try and win the pennant.To-day\u2019s Match.The only event in the sporting line of interest to-day, is the opening lacrosse match of the season which will be played on the Exhibition grounds, commencing at3 o'clock, Letween the Orients and Royal Caugbnawaga Indians.The latter will come acroes the lake with their strongest team and the Orient\u2019s game on this occasion will give a fair idea of their chances for the district championship this year.There should be a large attendance, The Crescents Are Out for the Pennant Again this Season.To those wbo have been laboring under the impression that the Crescents had permanently retired from the field, last evenings annual meeting was sutfi- cient to convince them of the unsoundness of such an idea.A very large muster of the members turned up eager in to continue the work which has so successfaily carried out heretofore.The secretary\u2019s and treasurer\u2019s raports were both gratifying to the members and reports of being financially em- barassed which have been spread about proved entirely groundless both reports showing success in every direction.The election of officers, although late in the season, was carried on with such enthusiasm as to show a determination to again don the maroon Jerseys and retain the pennant.The election resulted as follows: Hon.Presidente\u2014Messrs.T W.MeAnulty and James Mulialy, President\u2014Wm.Lewis.1st Vice-President\u2014Hy, Osborn.2d Vice-President\u2014R.8.Kelly, Hon.Secretary\u2014A.J.Fairtaim, Asst.Hon.Secretary\u2014S.Ward.Hon, Treasurer\u2014J.J.O\u2019Neil.[Re-elected.] Committee\u2014Messrs.A.A.Smith,T, Fisher, C.E.Ward, W, Hinton, J.McDonnell, P.Phelan, J, Jones, P.S.McCaffrey aud J.C.The retirement of Mr.McAnulty from the poeition of Field Captain which he has filled with 80 much success was received with regret from the entire association, His place will be filled by Mr.A.A.Smith who hss also done much for the advancement of the association and who will leave nothing undone to fo:low the example of his predecessor.After a bearty vote of thanks to the retiring offieers the meeting adjourned.tere College Lacrosse, FrinckroN, May 15.~The freshman la- croese team was defsated t-day by the THE MONTREAL

America, BostoN, May 15.\u2014 It now looks as though William O'Connor, the American champion, will not have a chance to try conclusions with Stansbury on this side ofthe water as was expected a few weeks ago, as it will take Stansbury all his time to get in shape for his cham- ionship contest with McLean.Mec- an\u2019s success has been rather of a meteoric kind, he having held on to high honors but a short time.McLean beat Stansbury twice running, but succumbed on the third trial.Many local sports are of the opinion that the Australian oarsmen are making money and do not propose to take any chances of losing the championship by coming to this country and meetipg O'Connor, Teemer and Gaudaur.Coming Regattas, .DETROIT, May 15.\u2014A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Northwestern Amateur Rowing Association was called for yesterday morning at the Russell House to take action in the matter of this year\u2019s regatta.There were present M.J.Buck, cf Lansivg, Joseph C.Sterling, of Monroe; F.D.Standish, of Bairo, 111, and Joha H.Clegg, of this city.No definite action was taken, but the members present recommended that the regutte be held here August 14 and 15.The Canadian regatta will be held at Barrie August 12 and 13 and this will give the Canadians a chance to come here.The National Association regatta is in Washington August 18 and 19 and the western and Canadian oarsmen could all come here before going to Waseingtoa, The board will meet again on May 27 at the Russsll House to settle the matter.Freshmen Defeated, Boston, Masa., May 15,\u2014The Harvard class

last eeason should be a matter of the greatest encouragement to our breeders and horsemen and is a convincing proof that Canada in a few years will be well able to take a front place in the breeding and training of the Jight harness horse.Of course the place of honor for the season of 1890 ameng the Canadlan flyers must be given tothe chestnut stallion Alvin, by Orpheus, who got a record of 2:14} at tbe kite-shaped track at Independence, Ia., on Aug.30; his course this year will be watched with the greatest Interest.Another performance worthy of note was that of Almont Wilkes, by | Wilkie

note that the game is now being played by the bread and butter misses of several ladies\u2019 schools in Torouto.The fact, too, tbat ladies\u2019 clubs have been formed in one or two other cities goes

crowd of typical sporting men, anxious to size up the powers of the Australian ppsihist, and wben his manager Billy adden introduced him ss the victor of over 100 hard 1ought battles, and Mitchell as tte undefeated champion of England, such a tremenduous shout of mingled cheers and disapproval went up from the crowd that it would bave raised the roof of a lees substantial theatre.Slavin looked to be in much better condition than when be appeared at Madison- square Garden, \u2018and he surprised the talent by the way he played with Mitch- e wag quicker on his feet than Charles, and Le worked

CHAMPIONSHIPS, tet \u2018WhatEntitles an Athlete to Claim to Be Champion Single or All Round.HOW THE TITLE CAN BE WOoN, Interesting Information Regarding the Merits of Athletes\u2014College Record; Broken at the Columbia Games\u2014aren Who Are Claiming the All Reund Chap, plouship\u2014Scatland\u2019s Great Athletes, The following contributed toa Scot'isy journal by Mr.W.M'Combie Smith will be read with interest:\u2014At the present time, while Kenneth M'Rae, the Present champion, is being hard pressad and sometimes beaten at three if not four of the five throwing feats at Scoltish games two Scolch athletes in Australia are algo claiming to be champion athletes of the world at the same feats, Before d.scus- sing the rival claims of these, it is necessary to enquires what entitlvs un athlete to claim to be champion.Tuere are two sorts of champions\u2014a champion at one cr more single feats, aud what 1g called an all-round champion.Ty be champion at any single feat one must have made the best authenticated performance at that feat, and be preparad to meet all comers at it, or have defeated all those who lay claim to tue championship at that fear.When rival claimants are in the same country or part of the world there is generally not much trouble in settling the championship, but when one or more would-be champions are in Scotland, America and Australia, the matter becomes much more difficult.Keeping in mind that we are at presen; writing of the athlet s and athletic sports of Scotland, we see tbat there are only two ways in which an athlete can become champion Scottish athlete at any single athletic feat\u2014either by beating the best Beot ish athletes in Scotland, or by making a gennine performance in a puy- lie competition out of Scotland under practically the same conditions as in rcotland unmistakably ahead of the best performances in Scotland.Taking tbe .past sesson in Scotland, George Johnston has the best record for hammer-throw- ing, his throws at Abovne being the best on record there, K.M\u2019Rae beating him only once during the season.Alexander M*Culloch has also beaten Johnston once (by an inch,) and tied once with M\u2018Ras.The only Scottish athiete who has any claim to be ranked with these tbrae is Charl: M\u2018Hardy, an Averdeenshire athlete, Settled in Australia.The only thing we have to go by in a public competition lately is his throw of 107 feet 3} inches with a 16-1b bammer at Goul- burn in January against D.Dinnie and D.C.Coss.The handie was said to be bad, but seeing that D.Dinnie, who was out of practice, and in bad form besides; and more than 15 feet behind his best form when he arrived in Australis, was only a little more than aix feet beuind, M'Hardy has nothing to show that eu- titles him to claim the title of champion Bcottish athlete at hammer-throwing.Coming to putting, Owen Duffy,although an Irish athlete, has been so long roe sident in Scotland that Le is almost always classed with Scottish athletes, and has won oftener at putting tuan any «(ther athlete in Fcotlana since Dinnie left.He is still in the front rank along witn M\u2018Rae, G.Johnston has beaten Duffy once and .McRae several times during the Ssason, and George M.Rose, the first famous Scottish athlete settled in America, who «gulust tLe home athletes, has baaten Dafly once and been well to the front all along, wi ile Itecdore Campbell Wes only 21 inches behind McRae at Inverness.Against these C.McHardy is again ths cnly Scottish athliete wuo can put forward a claim to rank alonz with them at tbe present time.At Goulbura kis put with a 28lb.stone, Scotch styie, was 30 tt.G in, and D.Dinnie says se can put à z21b.etone from 35 to 36 fret, and a 16lb.stone from 42 to 43 teet.His chance of & third prizs is, there fore, à very doubtful one against the best home athletes.The 56-1b weight is a more difficult subject.G.M.Ro:s is wilingto back himeelf to do 23 feet standing style.At Goulburn McHardy threw the 56-1b weight 25 feet 0% incu, and D.C.Ross 24 feet 2 inches, Ross complaining that MeHardy followed a vard over the mark.In addition ts G.M.Ross, George Davidson, K.McRae and G, Johnson could all beat the Australian performances.K.McRae is the champioa at tossing she caber, with Dobald McDonald and G.Davidson well up, and neither McHardy nor Ross could take a third prize at present against the home athletes.At wrestling D.Dinrie is still well abead of all Scat- uish athletes.The foregoing facts baged on actual performances show that no Beottish athlete abroad has any right to claim championship honors for any of the five feats of strength practised at Écottsh games, except D.Dinnie at wrestling.As to who is all-round champion is a Subject requiting much discussion.Every civilised nation bas champion athletes at different athletic feats.A list «f feats to excel in which would entitle an athlete to style himself all-round champion athlete of the world could be drawn up only by the leading athletes of every nation of the world, or their accredited representatives.For one atb- lete in one corner of the world to draw up a list of feats to suit himself, issue a challenge in a few papers that nine-tenths of the athletes In the world never see or Lear of, and then dub himself champion athlete of the world, is, if meant as a joke, net very funny; if meant seriously it is ridiculous.Donald Dinnie handed over that titie to M\u2019Hardy, having no right to de ao.To make matters still more complicated, wbile M\u2019Hardy and Ross are both in Australia loudly proclaiming themselves champion athletes of the world, E.Knee- bone, an Australian athlete, who has on mere than one occasion defeated Mc- Hardy, recently in an all-round contest against D.C.Ross, when there remained only the caber contest to be decided, and Kneebone was half a point ahead, Ross refused to continue the contest on the first available dsy\u2014in short, backed out of it when likely to be defeated.The result is that Kneebone has announced himself as champion athlete of Australia and Americs.There are at least a score of Ænglish-sreaking athletes, not to speak cf foreigne:s, who, if they foilowed the tactics of M'Hardy, Ross, and Knesbone, could claim to be champion athletes of the world with just as macb, or as little, night to tle title.Supposing C.M\u2018Hardy were to teat D.C, Ross and Kneeboue, Le would be as far trom being champion as ever.The all-round chan gionshtp, or any cbampiorsnip, can Lever be ecttled at cre meeting, unlees ull tha

MR.BROWN\u2019S MISSION.Canada\u2019s Commissioner to the Jamaica exhibition, Mr.Adam Brown, has returned from the West Indies and is enthusiastic, not only over Jamaica itself, but over what he regards as the exceedingly satisfactory impression made by the Canadian exhibits.Very naturally Mr.Brown thinks there is an excellent opening for enlarged trade between that country and Canada.We hope the results will not be so disappointing as they have been in some other instances in which trade commissioners were sent out.We have po doubt that under legitimate and natural conditions considerable enlargement of trade with the West Indies is possible, and the legitimate conditions are to be created by the removal as far as possible of tariff ok- stacles to trade.This isa point which Mr.Brown must press upon the Government at Ottawa.If our tariff is not so modified that vessels carrying Canadian products to the West Indies can secure return cargoes, the results from Mr.Brown's mission w.ll be very disappointing.A trade which is one-sided will not be very profitable aad will not last very long.\u2014 THE BANK OF MONTREAL.Very naturally the half-yearly etate- ment of the Bank ot Montreal, showing that for the last year, ended April 30, the earnings upon capital stock amounted to only 7 per cent., created a good deal of speculation and not a little excitement in some quarters.No doubt fall explanations of the causes of this apparently unfavorable statement will be given at the annual meeting, and speculation will therefore be of little avail just now.Itis not known that the bank has sustained any heavy losses, though there may have been eome depreciation of sscurities arising out of the financial panic last fall in London and New York.The probability is that the new manager, Mr.Clouston, on taking charge, deemed it prudent ta write off all accou:ts of a bad or doubtful character, so that he might start with a clean sheet, and Dring the institution up to its old standard next year.It does not follow that debts written off are to be wholly lost, but prudent bankers will endorse the conservative courte adcptod by Mr.Clouston, aad cotsequenily have all the greater confidence in the future of the bank.A financial institution with a paid-up capital of- $12,000,000 and a reserve of $6,000,000 can aflord to write off bad and doubtfa! debts and prune down depreciated securities, and be in all the stronger position tecause this conservative course has been adopted.\u2014\u2014 PERSONAL AND PERTINENT, The Mexican dentists\u2019 charge of $10 an houris

Financial News.The Canadian Pacific Railway has been very much in evidence of late.It is at once ubiquitous and irrepressible.Its enterprise breaks out in the most unexpected places, and produces results which startle red-tape people out of their propriety.Even the Americans have been taken aback by the Canadian Pacific.They do not know what to make of it, or how to regard it.It will not fit into their preconceived ideas of the Kaimacks as a sleepy,short-sightad race, whose destiny ie to sink gracefully into the folds of the stars and stripes when they become ripe for that distinguished bonor.Whatever e'se may get swallowed up in the almighty Union it is not to be the Canadian Pacific Railway.That seems to be well able to take care of itself, and it swallows more of American trade than the Americans like to see going pastthem, It latest feat has, like all the rest, a.dash of romantic brilliance.Without any fuss or preliminary flourish it bas started a new mail service, which cuts down the orthodox course of post between London and China by- CURRENT CHRONIQUES.0 During his Indian tour the Czarowits required 30 carts and 300 pairs of ponies todraw his baggage.He must bea

Mis\u2019 Temple, fo\u2019 de lawd, dat ar cream sass er yourn, dat aint noways diffrunt to my ole missus\u2019 white sass \u2019cept like you all don't putt no cream in yourn.But ye cripses de butter jes de same.\u201d Another time, \u2018\u2018Scallop isters?1 pintedly kin, Mis\u2019 Temple.Allers done scallop de isters fo\u2019 ole Miss.\u201d Indeed she suggested a number of new viands to Mrs.Temple\u2014generally from the frying pan, but toothsome and delicate.She brought her only child with her, a slim, brown lad of 14, who waited on table hetter than we feared from his first appéarance, at which he brushed the crumbs off with the hearth broom into the dust pan.He was his mother's pet and, considering that fact, a marvellously good darkey, almost industrious, and the best tempered boy in the world.We were not long indiscovering Aunt Victory\u2019s history.One evening we found her at the smallest kitchen table, with Reme and the slate, plainly getting a lesson.\u201cWhy, Aunt Victory, can you read?\u2019 said Mrs.Temple.\u201cYes'm,\u201d with a smirk of modest pride, while Reme added, \u2018Maw, she kin read a right smart I learned her.\u201d \u201cHow nice! Then you can read the Bible?\u201d Up went Aunt Victory's braids in a toss: \u2014\u2018\u2018Laws, Mis\u2019 Temple, I'se outer -de Bible an inter de newspapers!\u201d \u2018And I writes fo\u2019 the newspapers,\u201d .8ays Reme with an indescribable air of haughtiness.\u201cHe does 80,\u201d said his mother, \u2018\u2018Aint you never seen de Mosaic Temple?\u201d We admitted our ignorance.\u201cWell; he -does write reg\u2019lar fo\u2019 dat.\u201d \u201cAnd you like it?\u201d \u201cYes ma\u2019am, I like living in the city.But maw likes the country better,\u201d \u201cYes'm yes'm, you all got mighty gran\u2019 \u2019ouse yere, but gimme de kentry!\u201d \u2018She was one of those nut-brown Africans that have hair long enough to braid; to-night, her head was covered with a red bandana, drawn out square cornered, back of her ears, giving her a queer resemblance to the sphinx.Flinging herself forward on the table with a supple, sinuous motion that few negroes get too old to use, she let her head fall into the open palm of one hand, above the bent elbow; and as she talked this sphinx-like head rolled inher hand like a ball in a cup.\u201cOh, de kentry wid de wavin\u2019 fiel's an de red birds dat comes a peck-peckin\u2019 at de winder-an de darkies a snatchin\u2019 cotton, an sech a heap er room!

Dat come longer havin\u2019 no purtec ter, dat huccome dat.\u201d A more sullen look than I had ever seen on Reme\u2019s handsome brown face answered this speech.He pushed back his chair, muttering something about going to the office, quite with the white man's air; and so smuggisd himself out of the lesson or further conversation.Rather to our surprise, his mother made no effort to detain him.\u201cMy, my!\u201d she gurgled in the negro fashion, swaying herself to and fro, \u2018\u2018 dat boy caynt b'ar a word bout me needin\u2019 à man t' look out fo' me!

Hit am de torrer gentleman.\u201d .We were too well used to negro morality to either feel or show any particular surprise.But it seemed decent to inquire whether the departed husband was divorced from her.No, of course he was not; that was why she had come to the Rock\u2014as the Arkansans call , Little Rock.\u201cI gwine get a divorcement fo\" fo'ty dollar, de lawyer man say\u201d she explains ed; \u201cdone guv \u2019im t'irty dollar a\u2019ready.Den I go back \u2019t de kentry.I pintedly does crave 't be in de kentry agin\u2019.\u201d \u201cBut it's such hard work, Victory!\u201d I Suggested, loath to see a promising cook depart, -\u201cHard wuk?Taint puffin t\u2019 do stove ro \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 SE wuk.Gimme my hoe an\u2019 my row an\u2019 I'se happy.An\u2019 laws, Missy, it do pear like I cayn\u2019t breve in dis yere shut up town.Aint no sunshine yere.I does love de sunshine.All cullud folks jes natchelly drinks up de sun.I knows song bout dat.\u201d She had a beautiful voice, and we easily persuaded her to sing.I fancy that \u201cole Miss,\u201d whom she was always quoting, had written the song for her:\u2014 \u201cOh, give de darky sunshine, An\u2019 fair an\u2019 softly wedder.Wid a bite to eat, an\u2019 he will wuk Fo\u2019 days an\u2019 days togedder!

Yes'm,we did givea festival onct an\u2019 made ten dollars.\u201d Perhaps I should explain that negro festivals are purely private affairs, wherein hospitality is exercised at a profit, instead of expense, since the thrifty host sells the refreshments, after which there is dancing at the less pious houses and games at the houses of the \u2018\u2018professors.\u201d , At log rollings, however, the dinner is provided by the host.The log rollers clear the ground of felled trees, which they collect in heaps for burning.As Victory\u2019s memory recalled the days of her past domestic joys and social triumphs, we could see that she was moved.\u201d : - \u201cYeas\u2019'm, Lige nev\u2019 did give me ha\u2019sh wuds.Nev\u2019 did raise his hand agin me,\u201d go she continued, rocking her supple body to and fro, \u201conlies\u2019 ting I have agin his behavior, den, ben he did be so fond er coon an\u2019 possum huntin\u2019.Mos\u2019 de onlies time 1 ever given him a pint- blank hard time ben de time he \u2018sisted on gwine \u2019possum huntin\u2019 an\u2019 whilst be ben gone dat boy, my fustis chile, ben bawn, Oh!

He done taken up wid a nigger \u2019oman!\u201d Then, just as suddenly, she lifted her head, dried her eyes and said: \u201cBut bye\u2019'm by Lige he got tired o\u2019 her.He ben raised by white folks, an\u2019 hecome a beggin\u2019 back to me to take 'im in!\u201d \u201cAnd you took him back?\u2019 asked Mrs.Temple, The sphinx-like head was reared again with indescribable pride.Victory\u2019s grandfather was an African prince, she told us once, and I can well believe her, \u201cMiss Temple, I taken him back! Me ben raised by white folk.He leff me fo' a black nigger; I never take him back!\u201d \u201cBut dow did he happen todo such a wicked thing?\u201d said Kate Temple.\u201cHow 1 know?\u2019 sullenly; \u2018she live down de ribber, whar he go possum huntin\u2019, an\u2019 she gaily young thing an'\u2014 an\u2019 doy call her mighty harnsome; an\u2019, some way, she 'tice him off.He been too shamed come nigh me; but he sen\u2019 wud dat he give me de truck in de house an\u2019 de mules an\u2019 ever'ting, cep\u2019 only hundred dollars he have at de sto\u2019.An\u2019 80 he light out.But he nev\u2019 did get no satisfaction livin\u2019 wid her.She cudn\u2019t no mo\u2019 cook a meal ¢ vituals dan she cud match me pickin\u2019 cotton, an\u2019 she taken t' goin\u2019 on mighty bad wid torrer niggers; so dey puhted ans Lige came straight t me.Mist\u2019 Thompson, he say Lige done make mighty sho\u2019 he git me back.Huh\u2014 Huh!\u201d Isomehow inferred from her conscious air that Thompson was the other man in the case.I asked her, and she admitted that he was; \u2018\u2018he was a mighty pleasant, good man,\u201d a preacher with a gift for prayer, and all the sisters admired him, I said:\u2014\u2018\u2018But didn\u2019t it ever occur to you, Victory, that Mr.Thompson might \u2018\u2018How dat, Missy?\u201d \u201cHe wants to marry you himself.you Know; mightn\u2019t he tell lies about Lige?\u201d \u201cNo'm.He'sa plumb good man.Dar aint no such prayin\u2019 like hisn in the Kentry.He done hab a revival er\u2019li- gionsence he come.\u201d \u201cBut hasn't he another wife somewhere?\u201d said Kate, who has cynical notions about negro pastors.\u201cDat jes\u2019 Reme\u2019s meanness!\u201d declared\u2019 Aunt Victory vehemently.Brer\u2019 Thompson swar t' me dat jes de talk 0 dem ornery, pusillanimous niggers in Dogtown, dat wudn\u2019t give nuffin t' de chu\u2019ch.Me an\u2019 Reme, we give $5.Dat Reme, he is a good boy, but Ise consarned baout him, kase he won't go t meetins nur t' chu\u2019ch nur nuffin, and says dat Mist\u2019 Thompeon aint a mor\u2019l man.He is prejdeeced, dat all, Mist\u2019 Temple.Dat story 'bout Sal Miller aint got wud o truff in it.Ghe got t'.avas = prejudiced witness.against Lige?\u201d THE MONTREAL HERALD SA TURDAY, MAY 16.1891, dat ar baby on somebuddy, an\u2019 so she taken po\u2019 Brer\u2019 Tiiompson dat aint skace- ly pahted lips wid her.He say he skace- ly seenher.Aint nare critter \u2018cept Reme Sanders does believe it.An\u2019 he believe anything on earth agin Brer\u2019 Thompson.I knows Reme; he jes aimin\u2019 de plumb wile; git me take his paw back!\u201d \u2019 \u201cBut could you?Would he come?said my artful friend.Victory's greats eyes flashed?\u2018He does come ev'ry month, ober t see me from Newport, in de cyars, an\u2019 walkout six mile, fo\u2019 seben months pleadin\u2019 wid me!\u201d said Victory, \u201clook like he aint *jectin\u2019.\u201d \u201cDont you think you could forgive nim?\u2019 Victory\u2019s handsome face hardened again.De fust time I say t him: \u2018Lige Sanders, I aint gwine to take you back fo' my husband twell de sun drop! You git outer my house?Dat how I talk t him.An\u2019 he go off mighty down, wid Reme.Nex\u2019 time, I says: \u2018I don\u2019t want no wuds wid ye, Mist\u2019 Sanders.\u2019 But I let him come in speak wid Reme, kase he did set a heap 0\u2019 store on Reme an\u2019 Reme on him, An byme by he got ¢ stayin\u2019 longer, an\u2019 den Reme wud hab him stay t dinner.An\u2019 Mist Thompson says he make his braggs er dat, an\u201d say I ben turning my mind ¢' him.Das rile,me.But delas\u2019 time w'n he come, _he done shaved his teard an\u2019 look so like de Lige I married dat\u201d\u2014she flung out a clinched hand to strike her breast furi- ously\u2014\u2018\u2018something hot come up, dar, mindin\u2019 me o\u2019 all dem times t'gedder an\u2019 de li\u2019le dead chillen an° all, an\u2019 ben fair choked.So I hilt my haid mighty boyish like, an marched outer de house, nev\u2019 passin\u2019 a wud wid him.An\u2019 de next dey I done rent de house t\u2019 Br\u2019er Thompson to him an\u2019 norrer culled man wot batches (meaning they were both bachelors.) t'gedder, t\u2019 Keep twell I come back, an\u2019 I drawed out my money dat I got leff t\u2019 desto\u2019; an, 1 come on yere.I done prommus Mist Thompson I git a divorcement from Lige.\u201d \u201cAnd promised him, I daresay to marry him afterwards, said I.But Victory drew herself up, proudly, \u201cNo'm, I doesn\u2019t go so easy.I only done prommus git divorcement fum Lige.I show Lige I don\u2019t nebber furgive him!\u201d \u2018We both surmised that it was more anger against the erring Lige than love for Thompson (whom we unreasonably disliked) that was at the bottom of Victory\u2019s motives.From this time our sympathies were entirely with the husband.Reme declared that Thompson stole his mother\u2019s money.He knew about the hiding place.\u2018\u2018She wouldn\u2019t tell me where she hid it,\u201d says Reme with indignation, but she owned up she told him.\u201d There had been suspicions of Thomp- gon, it appeared, in regard to some church moneys that were in his hands.Oh, yes, Reme, admitted, he had paid the money back, but not until they had lost their little hoard.«I know maw, she sets store by paw, still,\u201d said Reme, \u2018\u2018 but this fellow talks so smooth he\u2019s fairly bewitched her.I did write to paw where we ben, and I'm hopin\u2019 he'll git round.I sent him all the money maw let me keep outer my wages and my grips.\u201d The grips, I suppose, were Reme's tips, which he received on various occasions.¢\u201c Maw\u2019ll git her divorcement in two weeks she says,\u201d Reme went on gloomily, * and she lows to go back t\u2019 the country right straight, but I ain't going with her if you will keep me.\u201d Reme\u2019s prediction came true, Witha profusion of thanks for our kindness, Victory gave us warning.She was going back in three weeks to her own house.We couldn't complain as far as we were concerned, especially as she had hunted up a new cook of great giftsin sauces and salads (according to her former employer), neat, industrious, indeed lacking little of perfection excepts good temper.Reme, on this official confirmation, as it were, of his fears, became a walking statue of gloom.It was at this period that he broke a Royal Worcester plate and three cut glass wine glasses, all of which, of course, just slipped from his hands while he ¢ wasn\u2019t doing nothing.\u201d His misery over the wreck was such that Kate hadn't the heart to scold him.He cane to us later, and begged Kate not to take any money out of his wages, due the next day.\u201cMaw, shesayd you'd keep \"most all,\u201d he whimpered, \u2018cause there the nicest kind of dishes and costs a terrible sight, she says.But if you'd please not this month, I'll sure work for you, all next month.\u201d Kate reassured him.She wasn\u2019t going to take his money, but why was he so anxious to have the wages this month?Then Reme confessed that his father was in town, and so was Mr.Thompson.\u201cAnd Thompson, he\u2019s all fixed up,\u201d cried Reme, \u201cout of our money.In a black preacher coat and asilkhat.Oh, he looks mighty fine.But paw does look pint blank ghastly.You see, Mrs.Temple, he did ben sick ever since he went home the last time, and the house where he ben burned down and he lost his good clothes and ever\u2019 cent er money, and now he's come here, all ragged, aimin\u2019 to git some work and some clothes and make it up to maw.And I don\u2019t want maw t see him all in his rags, and Thompson strutting round in his high hat.Sol was reckoning I'd buy him some clothes.\u201d it turned out; our sympathy came to naught.Either Victory\u2019s lawyer got the divorce sooner than expected, or Victory, herself, found the money sooner; anyhaw, a fow evenings later Kate came to me to say that Thompson was calling on Victory.I at once wanted to look at a new experiment in puddings, left in the «cold closet,\u201d to reach which one must pass through the kitchen.True enough, there sat a smug-faced, six-foot negro, gleaning all over in a black broadcioth, with a gorgeous gold watch and chain and dazzling linen.Victory would not let us pass without introducing him.It was at this moment that there came a timid kind of half hearted knock at the door.Victory opened it.and absolutely staggered back, \u201cMy Lawd! Ligel\u201d she screamed, \u201c\u2018whut's got ye?Lige, indeed it was, and a forlorner spectacle than he presented is difficult to picture.He looked sick and wretch- ad.and his clothes ware ne hatter thal \u2018We sympathized with Reme, but, às rags.What a contrast to the resplendent Thompson! \u201cYes, Vict'ry, it\u2019s me,\u201d said pocr Lige, \u201cI know I aint fit t come t\u2019 see ye in such cloes, but I did wanter see ye so bad!\u201d : Al Victory said was, \u2018Mymy! mymy! Lige!\u201d A By this time\u2014\u2014for half unconsciously Victory had opened the door\u2014Lige had shambled into the circle of light.He saw Thompson.As if by magic his humility was rent from him, his limp form straightened, head erect and eyes burning, he shook his fist at the preacher.\u201cYou black nigger! is you darin\u2019 come twixt me an\u2019 my wife?\u201d Mandy, who was on the other side of the table, an admiring listener to Brother Thompson's elequence, jumped up with a scream.\u201cYou hush!\u201d said Victory quietly, \u201che won't dono hyarm!\u201d She turned herself to Lige with actual dignity.\u201cWho you talkin\u2019 \u2018bout, Mist\u2019 Sanders?Not me.I ain\u2019t no wife er yourn.1 got my bill o* divorcement dis very day.\u201d Lige gasped.The tears rose to his eyes.\u201cAnyhow, she ain't aimin\u2019 to demean herself to a low down, trampin\u2019 niggar like you,\u201d said Thompson, from his glistening height of broadcloth.\u2018Miss Vict'ry lows t' become the bride of a gentlemen in the profession\u2014-\" A swift blow from Lige's fist knocked the rest of the sentence out of time, Like a tiger Lige flew at the white shirt bosom and the gorgeous watch- chain.But, weakened by illness he was no match for the brawny preacher, who knocked him half across the kitchen.Mandy tittered.\u201cStop!\u201d cried Mrs.Temple, \u2018Victory! stop!\u201d Heeding her no more than the wind, as Lige, bleeding but undismayed, dashed again at Thompson, Victory herself flung the dish towel tight over Thompson's unsuspecting head, pulling from behind with such force and fury that, thus harassed in the rear, he made a misstep and all three went down together under Lige's onslaught.\"Git you\u2019 razor, Lige!\u201d shrieked Victory.\u201cYou let my husband \u2019lone or he cut you wid a razor?\u201d I believe that it was quite as much the bewildering effect of Victory\u2019s conduct as Mrs.Temple\u2019s commands that sent a calm on the turmoil.Thompson crawled to his feet and glared at Lige, also ou his feet, flourishing a razor, while Victory panted, supporting herself by the table, and Mandy called on the police out of the dining- room door, as if they were hidden upstairs, Reme\u2019s appearance at this moment rather helped the confusion, since he supposed the house to be afire, and ran to the water faucets.\u201cWhat does all this mean, Victory?\u201d Kate demanded, as soon as she had suppressed Mandy.\u2018Hit mean dat I ain\u2019t gwine hab no black niggersass my husband!\u201d answered Victory.\u2018\u2018Mist\u2019 Thompson, sah, I bids you good-day, fo'eber mo\u2019.An\u2019 I b'liebes ever\u2019 word Reme done tell me gin ye.\u201d «I shall have to ask you to leave, too,\u201d added Kate.© ag In vain Thompson begged Victory to think of the past and her promises, \u201cI didn\u2019t prommuse you nary,\u201d cried Victory in high wrath; \u201cI nev\u2019 sayd like I'd marry you, Isayd I'd git a divorcement fum Lige; an\u2019 a big fool I ben t\u2019 do it; but I done it.\u201d , \u201cMaybe,\u201d snarled the goaded Thompson, \u2018\u2018you didn\u2019t prommus you'd never take Lige Sanders fo\u2019 your husband\u2014\u2014\" \u201cWell, I ain't taken him back,\u201d came the reply with a toss of Victory's bead and a roll of Victory\u2019s eyeballs.Fo\u2019 de Lawd, I gwine marry him fresh, Dat what I gwine do?\u201d \u201cLawd bress you, Victory,\u201d cried Lige, \u201cI sho\u2019 did reckon you turn me loose, w'en ye see me in den po\u2019 ragged cloes an' him so fat an\u2019 sassy.\u201d \u201cYes, on de money he stole from us!\u201d shouted Reme, who was for having his oar in the matter.\u201cLige, you a fool sho!\u201d retorted Victory; \u201c\u2018ain\u2019t I jes' ben\u2019 had my hairt turned t' ye longer dem po\u2019 cloes de min- nit I seen ye, ye did look so distressid! An\u2019 w'en he begun a pickin\u2019 on ye, look= ed like I cudn\u2019t bar de sight er him.\u201d \u201cOh! laws.Vict'ry!\u201d gasped Lige.Thompson gave his former mistress a murderous glance; but he fished his hat from under the table and, muttering a kind of apology to Mrs.Temple, went: out with Mandy.Perhaps Mandy consoled him.There is nothing more to say except that on the following Wednesday Aunt Victory baked her own wedding cake.Chas.Cammell& Go.LIMITED.Cyclops Steel and Iron Works, Sheffield, England.JAMES COOPER, Agent, Montreal.RAILS PA \u2018 po FRANKLIN a> ELECTRIC INHALER 4 Price, 25c.Instantly cures Headache Toothache, Neuralgia.You can apply it t any part ot y for Rheumatism, the electric va away ALL PAIN, of peonte have been cured as of Catarrh, it clears all the nasal cavities\u2019 makes the Head free and purifies the Breath, _.Manufactured by Fran \u2018vec + Toronto, Agents wanted.A COMBINE The Mason & Risch PIANO, - Manufacturers have combined $0 make their Prose nigh clase ents at Gooraned Su rd\u2019s Pianos and Musio Wareroo TBE Catherine street ms \u2014 ousangds\u2019 ling Med.Co.36.INSURANOF THE ROYAL CANADIAN Fire and Marine Insurance Co.157 St.James-street, Montreal socu.ne000 HARRY CUTT, ARCHD.NrooLL, Secretary.Marine Underwriter Gro, H.MCHENRY, Manager, M.J, E, DROLE, Agent for City and District of Montre Established 1872 THE GUARANTEE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA The oldest and largestin America.Paldupoapital and resources over $1,000,000 This company transacts no other business, It has on its books the records of over 110,000 employes guaranteed by it in all parts of the continent in the past twenty-five years.8ir A.T.Galt, G.G.M.resident.Edward Rawlings, Vice-President and Managing Director, Head office, 157 St.James street, Montreal Established 1873 The Accident Insarance Company of North America Head office, 157 8t, James st., Montrest SIR A, T.GALT, EDWARD RAWLINGS, President, V.-Prest.& Man, Director It has paid over 19,000 losses covering $1,000,000 FIRE - LIFE - MARINE G.Ross Robertson & Sons GENERAL INSURANCE AGENTS AND BROKERS.ESTABLISHED 18685.No.11 Hospital-st., Montreal Special Facilities for Placing Large Lines Equitable Rates, Reliable Companies Liverpool & London & Globe INSURANCE COMPANY CANADA BOARD OF DIRECTORS, = The HON.HENRY STARNES Chairman EDMOND J.BARBEAU, Esq, \u2018W.J.BUCHANAN, Esq.ANDREW FREDERICK GAULT, Esq.Amount Invested in Canads, $1,000,000 MERCHANTILE RISKS accepted at the lowest current rates, Churches, Dwelling Houses and Farm Properties insured at reduced rates.Special attention given to applications made direct to the Montreal office, G.F, C.SMITH, Chief Agent for the Dominion, Bub-Agents.FRED O.HENSHAW, FRED MASH GEORGE C.HIAM, F.J.GILMAN, Special Agent French Department.CYRILLE LAURIN.Telephones\u2014Bell, No.135 ; Federal, No.94.ESTABLISHED 1854.PHŒNIZX INSURANCE COMPANY Of Hartford.Conn.Cash Capital = = $3,000 00 Canada Branch Head Office 114 ST, JAMES STREET, MONTREAL CERALD E HART Conoral Manager.A share of your fire insurance is scli cited for this reliable and wealthy com- y, renowned for its prompt and \u2018beral settlement of claims.CYRILLE LAURIN G.MAITLAND SMITH Montreal Agents.UNION Assurance - Society London, G.B.instituted in the Reign Queen Anne A.D.1714- TOTAL FUNDS EXCEED TWO and a QUARTER MILLIONS STERG, FIRE RISKS accepted on every description of property at current rates, T.L.MORRISSEY, Resident Manager for Canada, 55 St.Francois Xavier-street Atlas Assurance Co.(OF LONDON, ENG.)

And I am so tired of being poor, so tired of turning old dresses, patching my boots, .saving car fares to buy gloves.Ol, Bert! don\u2019t Jook as if you wanted to cry.You are well rid of sucha selfish littlehorror as I am, you are indeed!\u201d \u201cI will try to think so,\u201d he said pressing his white lips together for a moment before speaking.\u2018I hope you will be very, very happy.But\u2014if you should find, on consideration, that\u2014\" \u201cNow, please!\u201d she said, looking up at him with misty eyes.I only want to say, dear\u2014I may call you dear once\u2014that life with me, although not such a life of luxury as your cousin Frank offers, will not be absolute poverty, while I have my strength to work for you.\u201d ee - \u201cBut yo hav§ only a salary, and not a large one.\u201d RATES \u201cVery trüe!

But I am glad it is over, and now-good-bye to poverty, music lessons, and make-shifts.I will accept Aunt Jane's invitation!\u201d Aunt Jane's invitation had been to the effect, that as her father had wished her son and her niece to marry, she thought it would be well for said niece, Elsie Reed, to make a visit to L\u2014 and become gecustomed to her future home.aie Bef in, 5 it was only three hours after her parting with Herbert Bedlow when Elsie drove to the depot to take a train for L\u2014\u2014and leave poverty, quusic Jes- sons, and, perhaps, true, earnest love behind her, forever.So She assured herself, an gi 7 **Her welcome was a warm one from her aunt, but Frank was stiff and embarrassed.Every wish of the little heart was gratified in the new home, Dresses.bonnets, jewelry, were given her with lavish hands, and she flitted from oue superb room to another, trying to fancy berself the mistress of the wealth around her.The grand piano, under her skilled fingers, gave forth treasures of music, all of the showy, brilliant type, and her voice, like a bird's, carolled the blithest ballads.But surely no bird or butterfly was ever more restless in a gilded cage than Elsie in her new home, She was never still Walking, riding, driving, gardening, flitting here and there, till Aunt Jane, a model of repose, wondered she did not drop down with actual exhaustion.«1 don\u2019t sleep well unless I am tired,\u201d she said once, in answer to some gentle remonstrance.\u201cBut, my dear, at twenty, you surely know, you ought to sleep well.\u201d \u201cTwenty! I feel as if I was fifty!\u201d and having made this tremendous assertion, she flitted from a French window, and down the balcony steps like a child of ten.It was April when old Mr.Reed died, and in September his grandchildren were to be married.There was only Aunt Jane to care for the details of Elsie\u2019s trousseau, for the young girls was an orphan, and her jathes\u2019s marriage had been displeasipg 0 her grandfather.But for the kindness of Aunt Jane and Frank, she would hawe had scant welcome at during the old man's lifetime.But Aunt Jane wes equal to the emergency.and the profusion of Elsie\u2019s bridal wardrobe yvas geod earnest of the luxuries to corafier her marriage, \u201cI wonder, now,\u201d Elsie thought, after the rapid flight ifte the garden already described, \u2018what ig Frank's opinion of all this.Four blessed months have I been in this houce, afk as not once spoken a word of loye to mf He is all courtesy, gentleness, and\u2014B will say it once\u2014stupidity, but about 4 much like a lover as a walking eane, suppose he don\u2019t like having his wife willed to him, like a teapot or a cake-basket.Why couldn\u2019t my grandfather have left me a ting, finy little fortune all my own?I, pol wear more than one drs aÿ a time, after all, and nobody can eat more than one dinner, if they order enough for fifty.Oh, dear!

Are you keeping the terms of the will because you will not thrust me out of a sharein grandfather\u2019s will?Are you breaking your own heart\u2014\u201d \u201cStop, Elsie! There are many questions.\u201d \u201cAnswer my first one, then.Do you love somebody else better than your little cousin?\u201d \u2018\u2018\u2019Yes}\u201d was the murmured gnpswer.\u201cOh, so dol! so do I!

I love her! How I would have worked for her! In time I might have conquered fortune, and given her the riches she coveted.My little love! So patient, so industrious, so tender, until this will come to part us,\u201d i Unhappy thoughts do not tend to improve health, and in July, Herbert looked haggard and pale.He was entitled to a holiday of two weeks, and took it atL\u2014\u2014.Elsie did not dream that he wasnear her, but he saw her every day, heard the brilliant music that floated out from the window, under the touch of her fingers, saw the dainty riding dress, the pretty home dresses that flitted about the garden, and thought: \u201cShe is happy.She never loved me, or she has forgotten me.\u201d .So he was not so much improved by his trip, as he might have been had he Ton, ETE TREE TY - hem towards the waist, until finally the wee | ed hand\u2014the gloves were of cream color embroidered with pink\u2014this Trainon ex- \u2014\u2014 THE MONTREAL HERALD SA TURD/Y MAY 161891, THE REALM OF FASHION te mr ee + WEARING APPAREL THAT IS ATTRACTIVE AND FASHIONABLE.Dresses for the Home, the Street and for Travelling Described\u2014The Kind of Parasol You May Carry and be in Style.Two young women who sat side by side in church at a spring wedding were finely typical of two ideals.The younger wore a chamois-colored outfit bound as to its edges with black silk and rounded away on its front like a man\u2019s three button cutaway.The white coliar stiffly starched threatened the pink ears, the black tie was knotted in a bow that was irreproachable, the natty vest was cut low to display a full dress shirt with lines of white embroidery and gleams of diamonds;

Caughnawaga who had been supplied with too large a quantity of liquor, which cauged him to act in a manner peculiar to drunken Indians.Special Constable Spiers thinking that the Indian, whose name is Ignace Baubien, had created a sufficiest amount of amusement, arrested him aod he will probably recover his senses before being brought up to-dy.It is not known where he obtained the intoxicant.eee No Truth in the Report.It was reported around tow last night that the body of Mr.D, McClanaghan, missing for some days had been found in the Lachine Canal, with $500 on the person.A Herald reported visited the Bt.James and Stanley Hotels, several of the police stations and also communicated with the coroner.No one could give confirmation to the report which is undcubtedly untrue.It probably origin- uted in the repcrt of the finding of a body in the Cornwall canal), and a request that city detectives had been requested to go up and investigate as foul play was suspected.rt Exhibition Committees Busy, At the office of the Exhibition Company yesterday, several committees.were busy and various points taken up.Amongst other things, the Carriage and Hardware Committee agreed that no

STATEMENT OF THE BUSINESS DONE DURING LAST YEAR.The Earnings of the Bank Darlog the Past Six Months\u2014Those Interviewed Say It's a Bad Showing, The rumors which have been current for some weeks past in financial circles as to the disappointing character of the statement of the business done by the Bank of Montreal during the year ended April 30, 1891, were confirmed yesterday when the results of the year\u2019s business were published.The statement shows that the earnings of the bank during the last six months to have been only 14 par per cent, and those for the whole fiscal year to have been but 7 per cent on the capital stock.To pay the dividend of 10 per cent a large draw has been made on the profit and los3 account carried forward.The figures are as follows: In 1889 the amount of the profit and loss accuunt and profits for the year ending April 30, 1889, was $2,067,417, out of which a dividend of 10 per ceat was aid, and $50,000 reserved for new bank Paildinge, leaving $817,417 carried forward to profit and loss account.The statement in 1890 showed that $200.000 bad been deducted from profit and 1sss account for rebate on bills discounted and current, leaving that account standing at $617,417, which added to the profits for the year, $1,577,311, made a total of $1,994,728, out of which 10 per cent dividend was paid $1,200,000, leaving a balance of profit and loss carried forward of $794,728.This latter amount, added to the profits earned this year, $344,999, makes a total of $1,639,728, or $355,000 less than the previous year, and $427,689 less than the earnings for 1889.The following is a comparison of the profits for ei ch fiscal year s.nce 1885, and the percentage of profits to capital: Percentage Year.Profits of Year.of

SOCIETY.The Acting-Mayor Cannot Control the City Council and He is Looked Upon as a Huge Joke\u2014An Alderman Talking for a By-Law\u2014Other Humorisms, Yesterday afternoon's meeting of the City Council was at once the noisiest and the most amusing that has been held for a long time, All the fun was caused, unwillingly and In all probability unconsciously, by Acting-Mayor Shorey.None of the aldermen would take him seriously, and his loud and repeated calls for order, accompanied by innumerable majestic waves of his hands, served only to make confusion worse confounded.At times the concerted shouts and cries of about 20 of the aldermen made & din which was simply horrible.Several of the em- rloyees of the departments on the third floor, on which the council chamber is situated, were sorgrised by the uproar and ran into the ante-room to ascertain what was going on and to take a peep at the boisterous aldermen, It was a special meeting, called primarily to consider and pass by-laws, a large number of which are upon the order sheet.Yet not one by-law was taken up, The only business done was to grant $2500 for the purpose of receiving and entertaining the members of the Royal Society of Canada.As will be seen from the report given below, this was passed only by the casting vote of the acting-mayor.The following were present: Ald.Stephens, Germain, A.Dubue, Griffin, Perreault, Robert, Hurteau,Clendinneng, Gauthier, Lamarche, J.M.Dufresne, Tansey, Grenier, Boisseau, McBride, Farrell, P, Dubuc, Savignac, P.Kennedy, Martineau, Brunet, W.Kennedy, Wilson, J.B.R.Dufresne, Thompson, Malone, Btevenson, Jeannotte, Prefontaine and Rolland.Ald.Villeneuve came in a few minutes before the close.Acting-Mayor Shorey looked the pink of fashion when he ascended the dais.He had a brand new suit on, wore white gaite®, and had a little red and white bouquet in his button-hole.The moment he took the chair he ordered a glass of water.This created a titter amongst the aldermen, who had evidently made up their minds to treat Mr.Shorey as a huge joke.City Clerk Glackmeyer, who is seriously ill, was granted three months leave of absence.Ald.Jeannotte rose and stated that he wanted a by-law passed prohibiting music, acrobatic and other performances on Sundays.\u201cI want that printed at ones,\u201d he said.Ald.Stephens\u2014*\u201cThat is simply a notice of motion.\u201d Ald.Jeannotte insisted that the bylaw must be printed at once.Ald.Stephens\u2014*Is the by-law ready.\u201d Ald, Jeannotie\u2014*\u201cYes.\u201d Ald.Dubuc\u2014*\"No, it is not.It is only a few minutes since the Police Committee adovted the motion recommending the by-law.\u201d Ald, Stephens\u2014\u201cThen Ald.Jeannotte is leading the council all astray.\u201d Ald.Dubuc wanted to know if any committee had the right to git on the same day as the council.\u201d Several aldermen said \u201cno.\u201d Ald.Stephens\u2014\u201cThat motion of the Police Committee is utterly null and void, since to commiitee can sit on the £ame day ss the courcil unleas for urgent business, and provided they bave the sanction of the mayor.The Police Committee had notthe sanction of the mayor o sit to-day.\u201d Ald.Jeannotte proceeded to make a tpeech in his characteristic style of ora- \u2018ory, alle;ing that Catholics, Protestants, mewkers of all denominations, in fact, throughout the city were in favor of the by-law.He was interrupted by criesof *\u201cad- jeurn\u201d and \u201cnext.\u201d Ald.Prefontaine acd Stephens rose one after the other to points of order, but Acting-Mayor Shorey who is not well up in the ordinary rules of debate, decided in each case that Ald.Jeannotte had the floor.Ald.Stephens told Mr.Shorey in French, that his decision was wrong.Ald.Shorey looked confused.He did not understand what Ald.Stephens had ssid.He appealed to the latter to speak in English.(Loud laughter.) His request was not accedea to, , The joint report of the Finance and Fire Committess recommending sp-cial appropriation of $565,000 for building new fire stations and for the purchase of the ground in the rear of No.4 Station, brought Ald.Stephens again to his feet, He criticised the report and said the sures were too bigh.Why should $14,600 be expended om buying three and {four houses with backyards, which were situated behind No.4 Station?They only needed a little more space there.He would like to know from the chairman of the Fire Committee on what cal- cu'ations he bssed the amounts asked for.Ald.Stevenson made a long explanation, in tke course of which he said that the proposed fire station in St.Jean Bap- tisie ward was urgently needed for the protection not only of that district, but of the wkole city.The report was adopted.On the motion of Ald.Rolland, the petition from the Historical Society asking that the name of Port-street should be changed to Vimont-street was referred to tte Road Committee, On the moticn of Ald.Rolland the 22 order of the day wes taken up.It was the report of the Finance Committee reccmmending tbe city to grant $2500 towards defraying the expenses of re- ceivirg and entertaining the me:bers cf the Royal Society of Canada.He moved that the report should be adopted, .Ald.Stephens, seconded by Ald.Me- Bride, moved #8 an amendment that it thculd lie on the fable for six months.\u201cCarried\u201d shouted a number of members wben the amendment was read.Ald.Prefontaine opposed the grant on two grounds, In the first place it was not large enough to do anything worthy of Montreal ; in the sccond, considering all the city\u2019s needs at present, it was too much.The money should rather be applied to useful works of improvement, tuch as sidewalks and roadways.(Heer, bear.) .Ald.Rolland thought the money, if granted, wculd be judiciously spent.Ald.Steverson supported tne grant.He read extracts from a pamphlet on the nature and ojec.8 of the socie.y, which - Was recertly reviswed in The Herald.During his speech Le was frequentiy in- MAY 16, 1891! terropted by exclamations of impatience, Ald.Marti eau, with a solemn look on his face, said, addressing the chair: \u201cWill yon allow me to say a few words in French.1 donottalk English very fluently ?\u201d Acting Mayor Shorey \u2014 \u201cWhat! French! Give us as little as possible, please.[Loud laughter.) Ald.Martineau gave his reasons for supporting the grant.He thought that it would Le a capital advertisement for -the city.% Ald.Clendinneng in a lengthy and eloquent speech defended the proposed grant, After descanting upon the importance of science, be said that if the oad and Health Committees had any scientific knowledge amongst its _members the city would be the better for it.Many receptions had been given by the corporation, which, when the bills for the champagne, etc, came in, cost the city as much as $2500.\u201cWe lose $2500 worth of time in this council,\u201d he coan- cluded, \u201cby thedilatory tact.cs pursued by certain aldermen.\u201d Cries of \u201cvote,\u201d \u201cvote,\u201d \u201cvote.\u201d Ald.Germain, who always speaks in French, next gave his views.At tue outset he was interrapted by some laughter which was caused by tbe gesture of disgust which Acting-Mayor Dhorey made when the sound of French reached his ears.Ald.Germain at first resented the imputation that the Health Committee was lacking in science.What they lacked was moaey te carry out measures recessary for the hygienic welfare of the city.The corporation had fpent money in entertaining the British Iron and Steel Institute and several societies and bodies from the United States; and he did not see why it should not spend money on entertaining a native association like the Royal Society of Canada.Ald, Griffin agked who had invited the society to come here, but nobody raptied, Ald.Wilson said the citizens of Montreal would themselves entertain the visitors.' They had always been noted for their hospitality.He was opposed to the voting of any public money for the purpose.Ald.Jeannotte contended that the money would be better spent in providing more policemen for the city.If they granted this amount, they ought also to grant $5000 for the St.Joseph\u2019s Society and $10,000 for the Si.Jean Baptiste Society (laughter).Sir Donald Smith was rich enough to pay that sum out of his pocket.He felt that it would be an insult to Sir Donald if the gum of $2,5000 were voted by the council to help him and others to entertain these gentleman as they ought to be entertained.Ald.Tansey said he had gone that morning to the city surveyor asking him to lay down a few street crossings and sidewalks to his ward, but he said he could not.There were loud cries of \u201cvote, vote,\u201d and \u201corder, order.\u201d Acting-Mayor Shorey told Ald.Tansey to sit down until he restored order, This he did net succeed in doing.Ald.Tangey rose again, but was greeted with yells of \u201cvote, vote,\u201d which were keptup by over twenty aldermen for fully » minute, many of the aldermen thumping their desks all the time.The council] was a veritatle bedlam.Ald.Tansey added to the uproar by shouting what be had to say at the top of his voice, but his words were of course drowned in the wordy tumult made by his colleagues.He ultimately sat down.When order bad been partially restored, Ald.Martineau rose \u201c just to make one or two observations.\u201d Then the racket broke out again.As soon gs it was quelled, Ald.J.B.R.Dufresne and W.Kennedy axpressed a desire tbat the council should adjourn, But the other aldermen wanted ts vote on the motion before the council, and they bad their wish.Ald.Stephens\u2019 amendment was lost by 16 to 14, the voting being as follows: For\u2014Ald.A.Dubae, Roberr, Tansey McBride, Farrell, 8avignac, P.Kennedy, Brunet, Wison, J.B, R.Dufresne, Bteshens, Thompson, Jeannotie and Prefontaine,

main motion catry on tbe same division ?\u2019\u201d asked the acting-mayor.He wes answered by a volley of mingled cries of \u201cyes\u201d and \u201cno\u201d and \u201cvote.\u201d The vote was taken, and ths numbers were 15 for and 15 against, Ald.Malone Laving changed his vute to the side of thoee who were opposed to the grant.Acting-Mayor Shorey gave his casting vote in favor of tLe motion and it thera- fore carried, Ald.Villeneuve entered the chamber now.On seeing bum Ald.Jeannotte moved a reconsideration of the vote just taken.Ald.Hurtean protested against this, as involving a less of time.Ald.McBride\u2014\u201cWhat about the loss to the city of $2500?\u201d Ald.Villeneuve rose to speak, but before he uttered a word Ald.W.Kennedy moved to adjourn.Aid.Clendinneng\u2014\u201cIf Villeneuve is allowed fo speak, ll speak myselt till midright.\u201d À vote was taken on the motion to ad- jeurn.Assistant City Clerk G-sselin announced that it had been carried by 15 agairst 14, and Ald.Snorey declared the council adjourned ana left the chair.The vote actually stood 15 to 15, and £exeral aldermen including Ald.Robert, drew attention to the mistake.It was pointed out, however, that the acting- mayor had declared the motion carried, and had left the cbair so that the council stood adjourned, notwithstanding the error in the count.\u2018 .\u201cIt is simply disgusting,\u2019 said Ald.Robert, who had a by-law to push forward.\u201cIl came back from Oitawa to look after the Road Committees\u2019 by-law on wheel tires,\u201d said Ald.Prefontaine; \u201cand I might as well bave stayed there.It is really too bad.\u201d ram More Acceptances of the Invitations, The Private Hospitalities Committee for the reception of the Royal Society met last night.Mr, J.Stevenson Brown

Joel C.Baker, R, U.Adams, Jas.Cantlie, Jobn Pinder, F Duckets, E.H, Lemay, Geo.Denholm, C.H.Gould, S.C.Stevenson and several other prominent business men of the city gathered in the Board of Trade rooms yesterday.They met to bear what Canada\u2019s Honorary Commissioner at the Jamaica exhibition had to say in regard to the Canadian exhibits.Mr.Robert Archer, president of the Board of Trade, was in the chair.The first product touched on by Mr.Adam Brown was Canadian flour.\u201d The charge had been made that Canadian flour would not keep in the tropics.This he was fully prepared to deny.On Dec.23 the first shipment arrived in Jamaica.Sixty days later the baking commenced and was continued unt: April 23.On that day it was just as sweet 2s anut.Oneday Sir Henry Blake bought free admission to the Exhibition and it was taken advantage of by from 28,000 to 29,000 people.Five thousand loaves were baked from Canadian flour, that had been four months onthe island, and given to them.The result was that now the islanders clamor for Canadian bread.\u201c To-day,\u201d said Mr.Brown, \u201c if the millers of Canada take advantage of the opportunity they have the trade of the West Indian islands at their feet.\u201d The people who are an essentially loyal people, want to do business with those who live under the game flag.The railways arc prepared to offer reduced rates on flour to Halifax, which will help to Place it en the same basis as New York.n his report to the Government Mr.Brown will offer suggestions as to the best means of obtaining the best results from the exhibition.On his way home he callsd at Bermuda, a small and sparsely populated island, but found that the few people that are there must bave enormous appetites, as a large quantity of bread is consumed.One baker, who did not have the Government contract for supplying the troops, averaged a baking of 9000 barrels a year.The inbabitants of Jamaica are very large corsumers of butter and cheese, but previous to the exhibition they had never even heard of Canadian dairy products.This cheese was purchased by tbe Governmert from various dealers throughout the Dominion ane so Mr.Brown was enabled to tell the spectators that the cheese on the table was a fair specimen of the Canadian article, and not simply from one locality.It was landed in first class condition and wag very carefully examined by the judges, who will give it very high awards.An auction was gotten up on Canadian principles and the exhibits in this class were sold in small batches.In some cases the bidding was so high that Mr, Brown told the buyers that they would save mceney by sending to Canada direct for their cheere, The second shipment sold equally well.The Canadian court was decor- aed with sheaves of grain from the Dominion, Ontario and Quebec Governments.Every variety was roe presented there and was the wonder of J the natives.The bacon was very generally liked nd although higher in price, they were wiilirg to pay for it.We already have the West Indian fish { market, but Mr.Brown suggested that the shippers should send out a better Guality, so as to escape the odium of sending out & very poor article, The potato samples embracing 90 different varieties, were left entirely to Mr.Brown's discretion.He decided that the best way to do the most good with them would be, not to eat them, but to plant them, and so he gave a large proportion to the Government director of gardens, and tke remainder to large institutions.On the day that the exhibition opened Mr.Brown gave some for seed to a gentleman living seven miles from Kingston, and on the dsy he left he received a bag of potatoes, the product of that seed.These he was carrying with him to Ottawa to present to the Department of Agriculture.In the near future Canada will be the market for the sale of Jamaica potatoes, Everything else had been scooped by the Canadian carriages, pianos and organs, furniture, boot und shoes, stoves, tir ware, refrigerators and implements.The Canadian manufactures were substantial and honest.The great trouble with the manufactured cottons exhibited was that they were too well made and too heavy for the climate.Light Canadian tweeds found a ready market.Mr.Brown thought that the council of this city had never spent money more judiciously than when they sent out that magnificent picture
