H.D.SIMMONS, AGENT.AGAIN CUT DOWN The Government Majority Reduced by a Division in the House Last Night.IT NOW STANDS SEVENTEEN.ee Mr, Cochrane, M, P,, Declares That He Is Innocent of the Charge of Selling Situ- ations\u2014A Select Committee Appointed to Institute An Investigation\u2014A Vote on the Bancroft\u201d Matter, FROM OUR OWN REPORTER, Orrawa, Aug.20.\u2014The deputy ser geant-at-arms, Col.Smith, informed the House, through a letter to the Spaaker, at the beginning of to-day\u2019s session, that he had been to Quebec but could not find the Hou.Thos.McGreevy thera.He had no doubt but Mr, McGreevy left Quebec several hours before he (Smith) left Ottawa.Mr, Cameron (Huron) then moved that the charges which he had made against Mr.Cochrane be ref erred to a select committee consisting of Messrs.Skinner, Dickey, Caron, Tisdale, Mulock, German and Cameron tor investigation.Mr.Cochrane in reply read a statement to the effect that he was innocent.He admitted, however, that Gooderich did pay $200 to cancel the costs of his (Cochrane) election protest but that he {Cochrane) received no personal gain or political advantage from thig transaction.Mr.Skinner objected to seving on the Select committee and Sir John Thompson suggested that the name of Mr, White, of Shelbourne, be substituted for Mr, Skinner's name.He also suggested that charge No.3 be eliminated from the impeachment.He questioned the propriety of referring such an imdictment to a select committee, but as the Privileges end Elections Committee was now overcharged with work he concurred in the motion, Mr.Laurier agreed with Bir John that charge No.3 was vague, but ss to the question of & select committee he thought the event might prove the superiority of a small committee over the unwilling Privileges and Elections Committes for an investigation of this kind.Mr.Cameron promised to make a specific and definite statement in charge No, 3.Meanwhile he did not object to the elimination of this particular charge.He also moved that the select committee be instructed to examine witnesses on oath and to employ a short hand reporter to take evidence.(Carried.) Before going Into supply Mr.Casey asked Mr, Haggart for more definite information as to the forthcoming census.Mr.Haggart said he found it to be the sense of the House that the statistics should not be brought down till the whole censas was completed, which would shortly be done.Mr.Casey held that the House expressed no such opinion, and he askeu the Postmaster-General to keep his promise.Mr.Haggart promised to enquire at the department this evening and would give a definite answer before going iuto supply to-morrow.The Government, through Mr.Foster.expressed their great anxiety to go into supply, but they bad another ordeal t, pass through.Mr.Amyot said he had to call attention of the House to a question of grave importance, not only on account of the amount of public money involved and the graye suspicions of fravd which attached to the affair.He had reference to the \u201c\u2018Bancroft\u201d and Connelly contract for the building of the Kingston graving dock.The one question agitating the public mind for a time was this: \u201cWho is Bancroft 7?He told again the history of the Government's disgraceful neglect ot the questions raised in Parliament as to the real lessee of the Kingston post office boxes, of which Bancroft was the pretended lessee.Then, in the Public Accounts Committee, the Opposition determined to attack the citadel itself, and then before they called in the Connolly's as witnesses, the identity of him whom the country now unfortunately knows 00 well, the real character of Mr.Bancroft was then discovered in spite of the ramparts that hag been built about bim by the Postoffice Department and the whole Government.Yes, they discovered that Bancroft was a myth, fraud, an invisible agent of darkness and crime.But he went on to prove that the fraud was only possible by the neglegence, if net worse, of the Government.He therefore moved that the documents and evidence in this matter showed gross fraud, forgery and culpable neglect in tbe administration of public works.Sir John Thompson objected again to the introduction of motions of this kind without giving notice.He defended the \u201cBancroit\u201d transaction, holding that the Minister of Public Works could not have suspected that fraud was being committed and that Bancroft was a myth.Mr.Cameron (Huron) supported Mr: Amyot\u2019s motion in a strongly argumentative speech, showing that the Connollys were aware of the position of their tender and that the Minister of Public Works knew that one of the conditions in the call for tenders was ignored by * Bancroft.\u201d Why did he not reject that tender?Simply because it he bad done 80 the Connoliys would not have got the contract.Mr.Kirkpatrick denied that there was any evidence of the fraud which Sir John Thompson bad admitted.Mr.Gibson as a practical contractor criticized in a most convincing style the defence tmade by the Minister of Justice, reviewing in detail the unbroken chain of evidence proving that fraudulent prices were paid \u2018Bancroft\u2019 and Conoelly.Mr.Haggard argued that he as Postmaster General had tried to discover wbo the lessee of the post-office box in Kingston was.It he did not succeed it was not his fault.Mr.German expressed his surprise at the Governments opposition to this amendment.He held that Sir John Thompson committed a tactical mistake in departing from the precedent he established when he accepted Sir Richard\u2019s Cartnght's amendment last night.The MONTREAL, FRIDAY AUGUST 21 Government could not deny that forgery wag committed.The Minister of Pablic Works had accepted Bancroft\u2019s check.The Government admitted that Bancroft never existed and yet they denied that the check was forged.By that denial they had become accessories of the fact and should be judged accordingly.Davin concluded the debate and the division resulted as follows: For the amendment 82; against the amendment 99.The resnlt was received by the Lib- earls with enthusiastic cheera.Premier Abbott announced in the Senate \u201chis afternoon that it was the intention of the Government to appoint a Royal commission to reform she Civil Service and to create a new office~\u2014 that of comptroller of the Civil Service\u2014a kind of chief detective.Liberal members point out that this is a scheme to rermarnently destroy the inquisitorial joners cf Parliament, and they predict that Messrs.Lister and Somerville, the n ep most qualified for this work, will nct be named members of thé commission.rr rere FROM THE QUEEN CITY,

at Pekin, joined with the representatives of other powers in remonstrating with the Chinese government against the outrages commited by Chinese subjects upon foreigners.It was urged that German trade had suffered on account of the cvisturbance, When the German Catholic missionaries were damaged by a mob in 1890 the matter was discussed diplomatically at Pekin but after a years delay no result had been reached, promises of redress being given but no action taken.Meanwhile the Chinese official who was responsible for the outrage had been specially favored by his Government, whose course had tended to strengthen the malcontent element in the province.Germany attaches the greatest value to the welfare of her missions, and Herr Brandt was instructed to impress this fact upon the authorities at Pekin, The Chinese Government has telegraphed the German Government complaining of German ministers joining the protesting powers, on the ground that no German was injured in the recent riots and further that Germany is only slightly interested jn missions, and that therefore there is no need to identify himself with other powers in missionary questions,

Doubt as to the Procedure, FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.OTTAWA, Aug.20.\u2014The evidence in tbe Tarte-McGreevy scandal closed at this morning\u2019s meeting of the Privileges and Elections Committee.Mr.Girouard was in the chair, and in reply to a question by him, Mr.Edgar said he had gone through the remaining latter books of the Public Works Depart- mert, but found nething of any importance.By request of the committee both Messrs.Starrs and O\u2019Hanly were present to contradict the statements of Sir Hector made at yesterday\u2019s proceedings.Mr.J.L.P.OHanly was first summoned.He testified that the firm of Starrs & (\u2019Hanly, of which he was a member, tendered for the Esquimalt Graving Dock contract.their tender, he said, was a cheque accepted by tbe Union Bank for $7,500.This was in 1884, and a few days afer submitting tke tender, his firm forwarded $9 450, making the requisite 50 per cent of the amount of contract.The latter cheque was accepted by the Union Bank on Oct.24, 1884.At this stage of the examination Mr.Anderson, manager of the Union Bank, was called and questioned about the $9450 check.He did not remember the trapsaciion and was obliged to proceed tothe bank and hunt up the entry.Upon his return he swore the transaction took place on the day and for the amount mentioned by Mr.O\u2019Hanly.Mr.M.Starrs was then called, and said that the cheque for $9450 was given him by his partner O'Hanly, Oct 24, 1884.Witness gave the cheque to Sir Hector Langevin at his office in the Department of Public Works.Sir Hector Langevin, he said, induced him to then withdraw his tender for the contract, and asked him to write a letter to tbe department &8king to withdraw, at the same time to \u2018allege that he made a mistake about the price.\u201d Mr, Mulock\u2014Is this correct that you made any mistake ?Mr.Adams objected tothe question, but the chairman ruled it in order, and the witness said he \u201cmade no mistake,\u201d Mr.Mulock\u2014You mention in your letter about your price being too low?Witness\u2014There is noth.ng correct about that either.My sole reason for withdrawing the tender was on account ot the many obstacles Sir Hector threw in my way.Of course we were anxious toget back the $7500 in case we should withdraw.Sir Hector endeavored to show me the lowness of our tender, and then said there would undoubtedly be no extras thrown in, Mr.Starrs continuing, substantially said \u201cthat he asked Bir Hector what was then to be done, when the Minister told him to write to the department, and \u201cI swear positively,\u201d said the witaess, \u201cthat it was ir Hector who suggested all the falsehoods in my letter regarding the withdrawal of Starra & O\u2019Hanly\u2019s tender.The statements in the leter about mistakes were made solely by Sir Hector in his office, and we agread to them because we wanted our $7500 check returned.\u201d When Sir Hector saw me lay the check for $9450 on his table he said : \u201c Then you mean to go through with the contract.\u201d A long conversation then ensued between myself and Sir Hector, said the witness, after which I agreed t8 have the checks returned.Mr, Mulock-\u2014Did he hand you he checks ?Witness\u2014Yes, and as I went out the door [ heard Sir Hector exclaim: Thank God; I am relieved of him ?To Mr.Amyot witness said that he and his partoer wrote the letter together in conformity with Sir Hector's wishes.To Bir John Thompson said that Mr.O\u2019Hanly wrote the letter, He did not see Perley, the suspended chief engineer, in Sir Hectors office on the day ofthe conversation, and did not know that he made a report referring to the lowness of one tender.Perley never told him what report he made about the tender.Witness had another contract with the Government for a bridge.It was going on at the time.Some three or four years previous to 1884 he did work for the Government on the Rideau Canal.His contract for the bridge a mounted to $25,000.To Mr.Davis witness said he told O\u2019Haply all about the interview before the letter was written.Mr.Henry\u2014And you say the statements in your letter of Oct, 24 are false?Witness\u2014Yes, I do.Mr.Henry\u2014Statement about low price false?Witness\u2014Yes, it is.Mr.Henry\u2014You knew everything in thst letter was a falsehood ?Witnees\u2014Yes, I did.Mr.C\u2019Haniy was again called.He stated that he wrote the letter immediately afier Starrs returned from the interview with Sir Hector at the department, He wrote the letter at a lawyer's office, in consequence of what transpired.It was written according to tir Hector\u2019s suggestions, In reply to questions Mr.O'Hanly said he knew pcsitively well that the tender was not withdrawn because of the lownets in price.Mr.Starrs, he continued to state, brought the letter to Sir Hector after it was written.This closed the evidence in the famous scandal and the counsel for the parties concerned were requested to have their factums ready for the next meeting of the committee, which will be on Tuesday next, THE McGREEVY CASE, A Committee Appointed to Enquire as to the Proper Steps to

resignation of Hon.Thomas McGreevy was brought up by the chaipman.Many were of opinion that the vacancy should be gazetted by the returning officer of the electoral district at once and the writs for a new election issued.Regarding the protest issued against Hon.Thomas McGreevy\u2019s return after the last election, Mr.Amyot stated at the request of the chairman that the petitioners in the case were Messrs.Pinhey and Gingrae; that they had deposited the necessary $1000, and tbat the pétition was served on McGreevy whose counsel acknowledged same by letter.He expected the preliminary objections would be heard about 15 days after the present sessiou, On motiou of Bir Jobn Thompson Mr.Todd, clerk of the committee, was requested to sand for a copy of the petition «nd any other papers

the entire case and the committee adjourned.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A Murderer\u2019s Last Day, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.New York, Aug.20\u2014To-day is Ed Blair, the murderer's lust day on earch.Tbis morning Father Logan baptized him in the Roman Catholic faith and left bim in better spirits.Shortly after wards Chaplain Sutton attended with prayer and scripture readings.The remainder of the morning was spent in company with Miss Laura Blair, his sister.Conversations were directed mainly upon home topics and the young lady spent considerable time making boquets for the condemned men in the annex.Heney Blair, half-brother to the murderer, takes the execution with more ease, saying Ed brought bis trouble upon himself.The remains will be shipped at 2 p.m.tomorrow to his old home for interment, and will be accompanied by his sister.At 5 o'clock this evening Laura Blair was admitted to the reception-room of the annex to bid her brother the last farewell.She remained nearly an hour, and Warden Dyer was obliged to send for her.When told that tais wowd be the last opportunity to say good-bye the most pathetic scene ever witnessed in the institution followed, and the strong hearts of the guards were momentarily softened and tears were shed by them.She hysterically claspad her brothers\u2019 neck, kissing him and calling him his name over and over again.Suddenly she fell from his arm and caught guard Stansen around the nec and arm, nearly overpowering him, but soon lay quivering and prostrate in his support.At this opportunity Blair was removed to his death cage, When the young lady realized that he was gone from her side forever, she again went in hysterics, shrieking wildly for assistance.Her- cries were heard at the front office, and assistance was sent to bring her from.the annex.She was placed in the warden\u2019s apartment and a physician attend- edher.The prostration was so severe that she cannot be taken from the prison before to-morrow.The crime for which Ed.Blair paid the penalty of his life was a heinous oze and wes committed while he was a fugitive from justice.At Hatsberg, Putnam County, in 1890, Blair was serving a seven years\u2019 sentence in the Ohio penitentiary for burglary and it became neceésary to take him out to testify against one of his pals.At Blanchard he made a daring attempt to escape from his guards by jumping from the train.In company with two crooks he went to Hartsberg where he had planned to rob the stage, of which Arthur Henry was agent.l'he young agent was summoned to office by Blair, who professed urgent business with him.He arrived, the two palls stout and Shoemaker remained on the outside and Blair went in.He immediately pulled his revolver and demanded that Henry open the safe.He refused and was shot down in cold blood.Henry fled to Packersburg, Va., where he was .captured some weeks later.His conviction speedily followed and the sentence of death was passed to be carried ont April 29,1891.He was respitsd until June 7 in order to carry his case to 1he Supreme Court, and again until Aug.21 to get before the pardon board.Each effort failed and the murder of Arthur Henry 18 avenged.: 0 Racing at Gloucester.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.GLovcEsTER, N.J, Aug.20.\u2014First race, 14 mile\u2014Groomsman 1,Jackstaff 2, Tomboy 3.Time, 2:00}.Second race, 4}

Matches\u2014Crescents and Hawthornes\u2014The Local Prize Fight Of\u2014The Toronto Lacrosse Clab wlll be In Readiness for Montreal, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Ever since six foot Bob Fitzsimmons won the middleweight championship from Jack Dempsey, the experts, who pretend to estimate on boxing form, have taken much more interest in the fact of a man having an excess of height and rerch than ever before.Demrsey's long and unbroken record of successes, which included victories of long duration as well as short, his unusual strengt in striking and his undoubted courag made him such a favorite in his mateu with Fitzsimmons that hig friends i.the north found it next to impossible t get a bet against him.As late a 1 o'clock on the night of the battle a: New Orleans the writer saw hun dreds of dollars offered at the rae of 100 to 40, with some money a 100 to30 on the favorite.Although the news relating to the third roand\u2014the practical settler of the contest\u2014told substantially the truth of the battle, there Were still no Fitzsimmons backers, the confidence in Dempsey was yet without limit, \u201cJack has got the worst of it in the early part of more than one fight,\u201d said those who knew best, \u201cand he\u2019l come out all right.Don\u2019t you remember how the Marine and Fogarty both punched him before he licked them ?\u201d It was the man\u2019s great-record that made his admirers stand up for him in the darkest moment, They had read that Fitzsimmons ohad beaten men much heavier than himself, but that made no difference.No long and lank six-footer Who could weigh in at 154 pounds wag going to whip a sturdy, powerful, thick- eet, long-headed ring general like Jack Dempsey.There was but little reasoning for his defeat.Dempsey had entered the ring as fit as he ever was In his life, He was ably handled; a large majority of the spectators were his friends; he had all Lis well-known power, and he used it as well ag be possibly could under the circumstances.But what were they ?The principal ones were those that may be called the height and reach of his oppz- nent.Fitzsimmons, from his six-foo: point of vantage, was able to look down ur reach eight inches over the Americaa and deal with him as a full-grown man might treat a boy.Dempsey did nis best to land the muscular blows for which he his famous, but the New Zeal- -ander\u2019s long arms held him at bay, and the aim either missed its mark because the missile could not fetch or, when it did toucb, the power bad been ex- rended.Smce Jack McAuliffe made his match with Austin Gibbons, thinkers have discovered alot to com pare between this couple and the middle weights just spoken of.Gibbons is built very mach on the Fitz=immons plan: Heis call aud spare in the lower division, and McAu- life is short and solid.There is almost precisely thesame difference in height\u2014 our inches\u2014between them.Both are broad-shouldered, but Gibbons tapers from the waist up, like Fitzsimmons, while McAuliffe is solid and stocky clean through, like hig good frieny Dempsey.McAuliffe is a blcek of soli} flesh, again like the other Jack, whils Gibbons's igure is rather thin.Gibbocs and Fitzs1mmons both have light unde: pinning, the joints about and just below the thighs being small and seemingly weak.It is known, however, that in neither case Is there any weakness in the lege.Both men are good runners, especially at middle distances, McAuliffe and Dempsey both have full and wel- shaped legs, as fighters\u2019 limbs go.The length of McAulitte\u2019s arms is only about proportionate to his heignt, and his fista are of good size, while Gibbons, like Fitzsimmons, has a great reach, even for his upward length.It is a coincidence, too, worth mentioning in this comparison that Gibbons and Fitzsimmons both worked at trades, Up to within a short time, that made them pound on hard material, Gibbons was a boilermaker and Fitzsimmons a blacksmith.The \u201cshorties,\u201d McAuliffe and Dempsey, both worked in cooper shops.It can also be said that Fitzsim- mons is a perfectly abstemious man in the way of alcohol, and Gibbons hag been carefully led in the same path.Everybody who knows McAuliffe and Dempsey is aware that these boys have been for a couple of years noted tor their conviviality when among friends.All these things are being thought over, and who can say, when confronted with the facts, that there are not a great many characteristics among the two pairs that resemble each other ?In fact, the thinkers who are turning things over in their minds before making a bet on the coming match, or expressing an opinion, have bad trouble in finding essential differences as between Mc- Auliffe and Dempsey on one hand and Gibbons and Fitzsimmons on the other.It 18 stated that McAuiiffe, while à fighter in all that the word implies, is a cleverer boxer than Dempsey, and can bring Gibbons down to bis height better than Dempsey could handle Fitz- simmons.But nobody asserts that Mc- Auliffe is a better general tactician In the ring than Dempsey, who has long been cailed the Napoleon, 1tis further contended that Fitzsimmons is a terrific hitter and clever with his hands, while Gibbons is a windmill fighter, trust ing to luck in landing at all.This view is based on the fact tbat Gibbons has generally appeared to have the worst of the early parts of the fights with the men of infer- lor standing.Gibbons\u2019 friends reply to this by saying the Patterson lad has hitherto played with his opponents until be got ready to beat them, and then a determined smash or to has brought about the desired result.McAuliffe\u2019s hitting powers are what his friends depend most upon to defeat Gibbons.Jack is without doubt a hitter of extraordinary character and can use both hands.\u201cAllowing that McAuliffe does get several more body blows than Children Cry for Demotey did,\u201d said a Patterson enthu- 1.8, \"won't help him much, for he'll only hurt Lis hands.Young Gibbons\u2019 stomach, ribs and breast are just like boards.McAuliffe can\u2019t hurt him there Jack Kenney, of Harlem, who is acknowledged to be à terrible hitter of the Jack Farrell kind, played for Gibbons 8tomach and ribs with one hand aitar the other and sometimes both at once with small 10 ourtce gloves and Austin simply laughed at him the whole time.\u2019 _\u2014 No Reply Received Yet, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, New York, Aug.20\u2014The following was received at The Police Gazette office yesterday from Ed, Rothery, of Omaha, the backer of

revive it.In the fall of that year the Shamrocks were the holder of the pennant, and the formation of the new league in 1889 put a damper un the matches for the trophy.In fact it had been entirely forgotten till the last meeting of the National Lacrosse Association, when the matter was broughtup and it was intimated thet the Shamrocks would bave to defend the title against any of the senior clubs in the association, The only three remaining now are the Shamrocks, Montreal and Capital.The Mon- trealers have no desire to lay for the championship so it seems, but the Capitals are ambitious and are looking for the banner.The match between then and the Shamrocks takes places to-mor- row afternoon on the Shararc ck ground; and promises to be red hot, ing .aucn u8 the Sena ors have been Igoe ting ther strongest twelve t Obuer and will put forth every eflurt to win tne championship.There is not the least doubt that the game will be interesting and some brilliant lacrosse m y be expected, as the \u201cwearers of the green jerseys\u2019 have been attending diligently to practice and could not be in finer trim for a hard struggle.The Capitals will be compelled to play the game of their life to win to-morrow, The match will start at 3 o'clock precise, as there will be a double event on for the benefit of the public.Aftar the championship game, the Montreal Juniors and Orients will meet in the District Championship series, and it is needless to say that this will also be a stunnIng game.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A Junior Game, s The Lilly and St.Lawrence teams will meet to-morrow afternoon in a friendly game on Fletcher's field.The Lilly's team are strong for juniors, tr The Match on the AK, À.A, A, Grounds, The match on the M.A.A.A.grounds to-morrow afternoon between the Staten Islanders and Montreal team promises to be most interesting, and will certainly be witnessed by a large crowd.The À mericans play a stfong game of lacrosse.They are the champions of the United States, and Montraal lovers of the game will be interested to know how they play with the Montreal combination, _\u2014 What Captain Irving Says of Saturday\u2019s Match, In speaking of the game at Montreal last Saturday, in which the Torontos were beaten so unmercifully, Capt.Irving said that the young blood which had been infused into the Toronto firat twelve had been a decided failure, They had discovered this, however, in time to avert an irreparable catastrophe, meaning that the home team wouid ba sufficiently strengthened before the next match with Montreal to enable the boys in blue to again establish their superiority with the stick.In answer toa question as to what changes were anticipated, he said that Sewell, Woodland, Dixon, Joe Irving, Scholfield, the two Car- michaels, the two Garvins, Martin, Bob Cheyne and Gale would in all probability constitute the team.With this twelve playing in good form they conid yet beat the Montrealers three games and tie them by the end of the season.Montreal is all but certain of winning one of these three games and the dual series championship, and a game between that club and the Cornwalls for the championship of Canada is already mooted.The lamentable exhibition made by the Torontos last Saturday will not affect the attendance for tne remainder of the season, as the Montrealers realized that they were opposing what might be called _a paper team.Thera is a possibility of the two teams winding up the season on even ground, and in case such an event should occur Cornwall would have to play here and in Montreal also, if an arrangement between the teams can be decided upon.The Montreal team is stronger this year than ever before, and the Toronto captain, who has seen Cornwall play this year, is of tbe opinion that they would have little difficulty in laying waste the representa- vives from the Factory town.În order jor the Torontos to reinstate themselves with the public it behooves them to de- \u2018eat Montreal wheu the two teams next Weet \u2014 Globe.a Lacrosse at the Falls, NIAGARA Favis, Ont., Aug.20.\u2014Matters in lacrosse circles seem to have taken a tudden change at Niagara Falls since tbe

doubt in the interest of the game at large it is a good thing for the championship to travel around.While the Athletics, of St.Catharines, held that#distinction for a long time, paturally all interest was cantered there.Now, Niagara Falls is coming in for their share of its patronage.The Niaga- ras have already received a challenge from Toronto, aiso oue from S*.Catha- rines for the senior championship, and a date will be given shortly.Moaday next the Niagaras cress sticks with the West Torontos, champious of tte York district, in an exhibition game hera.The Niagaras have commenced practice and no doubt wiil sive a good accoant of themselves in their first championship match.Refuses to Send Notification.OrTawa, Aug.20.\u2014Dr.McKay, the referee in the Young Capital-Pembroke match for the district championship, has refused to send the official notification to the secretary of the N.A.L.A.that ths Young Capitals won; and the Pembrokes have refused to trausfer the chalienge of che Ottawa Juniors to the new champions, on tbe ground that the match wes only an exhibition one, as they had not the medal representing the cnamion- ship in their possession when it was played.Mr.McKenna, the secretary of the N.A, L.A., knows all the facts vf the case, and will see that the Young Capitals get their rights.Tue Ottawa J aaiors, frum whom the Pembroke wor the medal June

metropolitan championship, per BASEBALL, A Most Disgraceful Scene on à Ball Field la Cincinnati.CINEINNATI, Aug.20.\u2014As a member of the society for the promotion of riot Powers did his duty this afternoon, and he was responsible for one of the most exciting scenes thatever disgraced a ball field.Cleveland claimed that he gave the Reds their first two runs.Still they have no reasonable grounds fur complaint, for he gaye them the opportunity to score five, Tbe trouble occurred in the eighth inning.Cleveland\u2019s sole run had been scored on two errors by Smith.There was one out, and McKean and Davis were on second and first respectively, when Tebeau hit a little flyto Latham.He neatly tranged it, and threw to Mec- Pbee.McPhee touched MeKean, ang then ran down the line and met Dav.s.The Reds all walked in, but Powers, by one of his own original interpretations, declared only Davis out.Then there was a fearful protest.Browning was told to hold the ball at third, but Childs ran out and grabbed it from him, and threw 1t far out into the field y Both runners scored, but Powers ordered them back, Virtue's easy fly wa- mufled by Holliday, and Davis scored the tying run.McAleer drove in two more, tard Shearon pushed one into right.As McAleer turned third to score on the drive Latham got in front of him, The Clevelander hit him between the rits.Then Latham brushed across his path once more.McAleer, usually cool, grew angry, and he gave Latham two kicks in the legs.Quick asa flash Lat- ham\u2019s right went out and by a quick Swing he caught McAleer under the jaw.Up into the airhe went and down on his back like alog.The crowd had been hissing Powers, and 8 handred jumped into the field.Zimmer came down the line hungry for a fight and he took Me.Aleer\u2019s place.Latham wanted no mote trouble and backed away.McAleer, who had scored, grabbed a bat, and joined by McKean, he went in to renew the battle.The Clevelanders rallied to the task almost to a man, while George Smith was the only red leg who stepped batween his captain and those eager to annihilate bim.During the row Shearon skipped home, while Powers ramained as impassive as an old woman in the background.The police drove £back the crowd, and ten minntes later peace reigned._\u2014 The Fate of the Western Association, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, MINNrapoLIS, Aug.20\u2014The fate of the Western Association has at last been settled.Advices this morning from Duluth and Lincoln were to the effect that neither club could go on.This leaves four live clubs ont of the original 8.They are Omaba, Sioux City, Kansas City and Denver.They will accordingly finish out the season with four clubs.They with Kansas City opens at Denver and Omaha at Sioux City Saturday.The present percents will be retained and the season lengthened 15 days.Another Baseball Deal, NEw York, Aug, 20.\u2014John T.Brush, tbe Indianapolis-Cincinnati basaball magnate, is at the Hoffman House.Mr.Brush is here partly on business and partly on pleasure.Business, however, 18 the chief reason fo- his visit to tha metropolis.It will be remembered that Mr, Brush recently had a protracted interview in St.Louis with Chrig Von der Abe, the subject being the settlement of the misunderstanding betwean the National League and American Association.A, G.Spalding then went to Boston and had a talk with President Prince of the Boston Association team.It was not long after these conferences that the Arsociation team in Cincinnati decided tbat Milwaukee would be a much more agreeable place 1n which to play ball and the result was to move bag and baggage.But there 1s another move that is much nearer the hearts of the National League people, and that is the move of the Association team from Bostoo.Tnere are two ways of accomplishing that very desirable object.One is to buv out the team and the other is to arrange some deal.It is apparent that Prince's terms are rather altitudinous, and at present the National League magnates are considering a deal for the THE MONTREAL HERALD FRIDAY AUGUST 21189] -\u2014 Solution of the problem.This is whara Jobn T.Brush comes into prominenca, He is here with a definita proposition for the abandonment of Beton by the American Association.This prop sition involves a sacrifice on the part of th- League.Von der Ahe's proposal is that the League permit the retura to the Association fold of Pittsburgn, in which event the Association team ia Boston Will be transferred to the 8 noky Cisy.But where is the League to find a town to ill the gap?Just at that point John T.Brush gets in his work, Indianapolis will jump into the breach and resume its place in the League circuit.In a nate shell that is the proposition: that Brash Yaa laid before A.G.Spalding aid other League magnates, and it is now being industriously considered.Whether it will be adopted is another question.ar No Umpire In That Game.DENVER, Aug.20.\u2014L.C.Krauthoff, President of the Western Baseball Association and John

BETROTHED.N Feodor Ruric had been in his Circassian home a month; and during that time he had contrived to make himself very happy.Albec' had s0 far recovered from his sickness that be could ride very comfortably by being helped into his saddle; but the moiety of his strength which had returned to him brought\u2019 with it a degree of reason which open his eyes to his failing powers.y \u201cAh, Ruric,\u201d he said one day, after the young man had helped him into his saddle, \u201cI: did not used to be thus.I did not think I should ever have to be lifted to my horse's back.I must be growing very weak.\u201d \u201cYou have been weak,\u201d said Ruric, in a flattering tone.\u2018\u2018But perhaps you are growing stronger.You sit in your saddle firmly, and your horse knows your will.\u201d \u201cAh,\u201d the old man uttered, with an expressive shake of the head.\u2018\u2018Isit in my saddle because it is my nature.My limbs have become fashioned to it; and when that shall fail me, the earth will have seen the last of poor old Albec.No, no, Ruric, you canuot flatter me into the belief that I am ever going to be strong again.I cannot live much longer; but I must live to see Ivan.I hope he will come soon.\u201d .It was a pure atmosphere in which the young count had breathed for the past month.And during that month he had.been almost constantly in the scciety of Myrrah; and if be had thought her beautiful when he first saw her, he thought her ten times more so now, that he had become ac quainted with the intrinsic purity of her mind.He had lived in the light of her smiles, but he had not yet spoken to her of the deepest thoughts that moved his soul.It was near the middle of the afternoon, and Ruric bad just returned from an excursion with Albec.The air was so sweet and the thousands of opening blossoms were so fragrant, thatthe cot seemed like a prison.Albec had taken his accustomed seat by the window, and he asked Myrrah if she would not like to go out.\u201cYou and Ruric must go out and smell this delightful air,\u201d he said; \u201cfor the young \u2018man has little chance for enjoyment when he rides with me, seeing that all his attention has to be bestowed upon my poor, weak self.\u201d \u201cAnd this is surely an enjoyment,\u201d quickly returned the count, in a frank, heartfelt tone.\u2018When I cannot find enjoyment in making comfort for an old man, then let my pleasures pass from me, for I should deserve them no more.\u201d This was spoken so sincerely that it brought tears to the old man\u2019s eyes, and Myrrah showed plainly by her looks how well she appreciated it.But the young people waited not for more urging on Albec\u2019s part; and as soon as they saw that he was comfortable, they set forth.They took their way up the river and for a long distance they kept close upon the bank, For some time not a word had been spoken, but at length Ruric broke the spell.\u201cMyrrah,\u201d he said in a low, tremulous voice, \u201cdo you know I bave begun to like my new home?\u2019 \u201cYes,\u201d she replied, \u2018\u2018for you have told me so before.\u201d \u201cSo 1 have.I have told you how I loved the wild scenery, and how I loved your father, but I have more to tell you; [ have to tell you of a deeper love than them all.\u201d The young count hesitated, for he felt how Myrrah\u2019s hand was trembling.He gazed upon her, but her eyes were bent to the ground; yet he could see how the blood had mounted to her sweet face and how the golden tresses upon her pure neck moved as though a fitful breeze were playing with them.\u201cI need not be afraid to speak,\u201d he continued, \u201cfor I know you will pardon me, even if you do not meet me with approval.But I do not believe you will reject the offer my soul would make.I have long watched the light of your mild eyes, and I have read their silent language as best suited to my own feelings.Myrrab, I love you best of all I know on earth.Have you not guessed my secret ere this?\u201d \u201c1 had surely hoped you loved me,\u201d return ed the maiden, with her eyes bent to tie ground, but with less of tremulousness in her manner.\u201cThen you must love me,\u201d cried the count, in a joyful tone, \u2018\u2018for we never seek or hope for the love of that which is a stranger to our affections.Am I not right?\u201d .For a few moments Myrrah was silent; but at length she gazed up into her companions fase, and, while a flood of strange light danced in her moistened eyes, she inurmured: \u201cI know not why I should attempt to deceive you or myself, nor do I know the forms of the society in which you have been brought up.I only know my heart's love, and that I have no power to conceal it.\u201d \u201cAnd that love is mine\u2014mine\u2014mine\u2014all mine.Say that it is, Myrrha!\u201d Again the maiden was silent, and again were her eyes bent to the ground: and when she once more looked up, there was more of earnestness in her features than had before been there.ward, and their hearts were as light and Joyous as the breath of the flowers that grew in their path.When they reached the cot, they found Albec still sitting by the window; and : soon as he bad an.opportunity, Ruric told im what had passed between himself.P Myrrhe and \u201cBless you! bless you\" ejaculated the old man, when be had heard the tale of love.\u201cI have hoped that this would be so, for 1 knew \u20141 knew when you had been here ouly a few days\u2014that Myrrha loved you; and I think her heart would havs broken if you could not have loved her.But it is well now.O Ruric, she is a noble girl, She will make you most happy.\u201d \u201cI know it, I know it,\u201d returned the youth.And then he bowed his head as though he would think of something that was not present.# Albec,\u201d he at length resnmed, with a perceptible tremor in Lis features, \u201cI have yet one thing to ask.I am not in haste, but yet not yet fully mine.\u201d \u201cI understand-\u2014I understand,\u201d said the old man.And while he spoke, there came a cloud over his brow\u2014not a cloud of pain or of doubt but one of anxious hesitation.\u201cI know what you mean but the end is not yet.Wait a while ere you make Myrrha your wife.\u201d \u201cBut why should I wait?asked the youth.\u201cBecause I wish it,\u201d was the old man\u2019s reply.\u201cYou know I would not make the request without good reason.\u201d \u2018How long must it be?\u201d \u2018Perhaps not long.But de it long as it may, you will still havo the company of Myrrha to make you happy.I will tell you when the time has come.Trust me, Rurio\u2014 trust me, and in the end you shall not be disappointed.Myrrba shall be yours\u2014fear not.\u201d .- \u201c= vs a entrance of the physician at this moment put an end to the conversation, and Ruric went to seek Myrrha to come and receive any instructions the doctor migbt wish to give.In the evening the count related to the maiden what Albec had said.\u2018\u2018\u2019Yes,\u2019\u201dshe returned.\u201cI know that he has some peculiar reason for wishing our nuptials, put off, but we have nothing to fear.He spoke with me only a few moments since and 1 know that the ®arnest wish of his heart is to see us happy.\u201d Ruric had hoped to find out from Myrrha what the old man\u2019s reason might be, but she knew no more than he did: so he tried to content himself with things as they were, CHAPTER XI.THE MARAUDERS.Time passed on to early summer.Old Al bec still rode out almost every day for exercise, buthe dared not go alone, for he grew weaker and weaker.And Myrrha\u2014she was the very sun of the count\u2019s existence.He loved her more and more ns each dawning day developed mew charms in ber mind.Several times he had repeated his request to Albec that Myrrha might be secured to him by the rite of marriage, but each time the old man bid him wait.\u201cAnd wherefore shall I wait?\u2019 the count had asked in almost a frenzy of anxiety.\u201cNothing can separate us\u2014nothing can divide our hearts.Why, then, shall we be thus doomed to be kept asunder?\u201cBecause,\u201d the old man replied, \u2018\u2018the time has not yet Come.I am not responsible; so let the matter rest.It cannot Le much longer that the probation shall last.Be quiet, my dear friend, be quiet, and all shall yet end well.You need not fear for any clouds, if you but trust me.\u201d But Albec was not aprophet.There was a storm gathering upon the borders of the Stamyl of which he did not dream; snd the quiet hamlet, as it lay there in its mountain- girt retreat, slept all unzonscious of the doom that hung over it.It was late in the day that Albec and Rurie had turned the heads of their horses toward home.The air was so clear and beautiful thas they had ridden farther than usual; and when they turned they were upon the summit \u2018of a hill that overlooked the deep valtey of Stamyl; while upon the oppsite hand they could see the uneven zountry, for many miles in extent, sweeping away, with its crags and ravipesand its brooks and verdure.While Ruric gazed upon the wild scene, he thought he saw something glisten suddenly upon the edge of a little wood that lay atthe foot of one of the distant hills.At first he thought it might be some little streamlet that he had not before detected, but he soon found that such could not be the case, for the glittering points were multiplied, and ere long he was sure that he saw mounted men.\u201cWhy do you stop?asked Albec, who was becoming itapatient.\u201cI saw something in yonder woods that arrested my attention,\u201d returned the youth; \u201cbut I am ready now.\u201d \u201cAnd what do Jou think you saw?\u2019 asked the old man, as they both moved as though they would start down the hill.\u201cOb, I saw something glittering in the sunbeams and felt a curiosity to know what it was; but it proved only to be some horsemen.\u201d \u201cHorsemen!\u201d uttered Albec, reining his hotse suddenly in.\u201cGlittering in the sunbeams!\u201d he added with increasing emotion.\u201cBy the prophet Elijah, this needs looking to.Come back, come back, Ruric, and show me.\u201d Wonderingiy did the count turn hfs horse back, and when he reached the top of the hill he could distinguish the horsemen very plainly.\u201cThey are armed, I think,\u201d he said, point ing Lis finger toward the wood.The old Circassian shaded his eyes with his withered hand, and gazed off to where the horsemen were to be seen.There were as many as a dozen of them in full sight, and it was evident that there was a number more in the wood, for the glittering of more arms could be seen there.Alhec\u2019s eyes were yet keen for long distances, and he gazed long and steadily upon the distant men.His aged form trembled as he continued to gaze, and when he at length turned toward his young companion, his thin hands were doubled up and his eyes sparkled with a keen fire.\u201cWhat is it?\u201d asked Ruric, full of wond er but knowing not what to apprehend.\u201c1 think there is one of the uzdens of the Hatukai, with a troop of his followers,\u201d said Albec, again turning his eyes upon the wood.\u201cThe Hatukai?\u2019 repeated Ruric, interrogatively.\u201cYes,\u201d answered Albec.\u201cThey are a tribe - \u201cI do not know,\u201d she said with a return of tremulousness, \u201cwhat may be the meaning of the love yon bear me.You cannot fear that \u2018roy friendship would ever be withdrawn.\u201d \u201cAb, Myrrha, there can be but one meaning to such love as mine.It must either live \u2018in full fruition or die in utter despair.The object of such love must be ever near me\u2014 ever with me\u2014a life-companion of my own soul\u2014a light that shall ever shine

the butchers\u2019 resistance to an unjust and iniquitous tax is regarded by their fellow citizens.A moment's reflection is enough to convince any one tuat a tax that oppresses a particular trade, except perhaps such a oue where police supervision is desirable, is unjust, and that a special 1mpost levied on tradesmen who are supplying the necessaries of life to the general public is not oniy unjust but absurd, and contrary to public polity.Were it proposed to levy some new tax of $200 per unnum on the dry goods trade, for in- starce, what an oufcry would be made; what a clamor would arise, what appeals to the courts, to the parliaments, to the public, would be the result.But with other trades looking coldly on, and probably the strongest firms among themselves favoring the measure a8 an excellent way of choking off a number of weaker competitors, they would be forced to submit to the injustice and either pay or go.This is much the case with the butchers now.They are fighting against a wrong but no one seems to have sufficient puo- lic spirit to lend them a hand.Even iu pure selfishness storekeepers and tradesmen in other lines should reflect that if the Corporation is allowed to blackmail one particular trade to-day, what is to hinder it starting on another to-morrow.Now it is the turn of the butchers, tomorrow the screw may be put on the barbers, or tbe painters, or the fancy goods dealers, and they wculd not have half as good an Argument against such measure as the butchers.The decision of the courts is that the corporation has power to levy unlimited taxes on any special class, or even individual, and the public kas no recourse, It this the freedom our fathers tought for?Having crushed despotism end wrested from kings the power to levy arbitrary taxes, shall we hand ic -over to the chance rulers imposed upon us by a municipal vote?Our tather.strangled the full-grown lion, shall we quail before an incubus of our own creating ?Is there no general principle involved in this tax that itis the duty and interest of every citizen to preserve?We think there is We think every citizen should have full liberty to embark in any businees not noxious to the public weal without let or hindrance.We think that to single out any particular business to bear more than its just acd equal share of taxation is dis- horest, unjust, and an arbitrary use of power.This is not a matter which should be left to tbe butchers alone to fight out, it is the interest of every citizen.It is said that the butchers having lost their case in every court should at least give way to the voice of the law, and settle up what is called their past indebtedness, and then throw themselves at the mercy of the Council and beg for some alleviation of the future penalties attached to carrying on their trade.Perbaps the butchers cannot help themselves, but is this an honest way of look- ipg at it?We fancy not.Such a style of argument legitimately carried out would have paralyzed the arms of patriots in every age of the world\u2019s history.Such an argument might have been used in justification of American slavery, or feudalism and aristocratic privileges in France, or any other species of despotism.A thing inherently wrong cannot be made right by any process of law, and such we believe to be any attempt to impose an undue share of taxation on any class or individual.Let each one pay according to the realised property he owns, but if it is thought also advisable to fine a citizen for attempting to improve his circumstances in life, let such fine, call it busi- nees tax if you will, be levied according to the assessment of the property he occupies for the purpose of his trade or profession, But above all let it be levied on all alike, for all Rave equal access to the opportunities afforded by thefcity.The theory that such tax is paid for permission to establish a busi- mess in one certain line and to keep ou any other tradesman who has not paid that tax is untenable, Certain trades may be pronounced obnoxious ty the public weal and may be regulated by licence or otherwise, but for the open trades certain taxes should be paid, according to assessment as the contriba- tion from that particular premises to the civic parse.Bayond that the city has nothing to d» aud whether the oc.upier of the premises n.akes his livelihood by manufacturing or dealing, whether he chooses to appeal for public support wita 8 stock of groceries or mea\u2018s or fan v goods or dry goods or hardware, or eve.un asserted stock comprising specim ins of each, it is no portion of any civic official\u2019s duty to enquire.T .ess littls sile rushes into either protection or persaca tion of particular trades are long steps towards despousm and dangerous to the ireedom we all profess to aumire.At the present stage of the disputa the butcLers appear to be at great disad vantage and perhaps tie best way ont of it is to accept the Mayor's advice and offer some compromise.Then let them put their case before the public, and obtain the support of their fellow tradesmen to sweep clear away this foolish an obnoxious tax.* Each for all and Ml for each \u201d is the only true basis of enduring liberty, and twig ls the doctrine they must teach, if they wish to avoid further oppression.It is an old axiom that a body corporate bas neither a soul to be saved cor à body to be kicked, and even in a free country such bodies pass edicts without raising a ripple in the curreut of public opinion, that if perpetrated by a despct might precipitate a rerolucion Such an arbitrary measure of power was the infliction of the $200 tax oa the uu- fortunate butchers.\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE GAZETTE .Apart from statecraft, it is turely time for the German army to be ted on wheat bread.The extensive cultivation o.rye for human food indicates a low state of agriculture and a poor style of living among the peasantry.As Britain advanced in civilization, rye became virtually obsolete as a crop for human food, though ît is still grown to some extent for sheep and for the straw.This cheap \u201c poor style of living\u201d is ore of the blessings which protection belps to bring to the German people.It is in marked contrast to the cheap, good \u201cstyle of living\u201d which the English people enjoy under tree trade and consequent light taxation.As Germany advances in civilization and gradually discards ber protection system, the condition of her people will improve and a better style of living will come into vogue.She is just now being taught by a very severe and practical experience the folly of taxing the people\u2019s food.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 WHY MAKE FISH OF ONE AND FLESH OF ANOTHER ?The Gazette very properly admits that Mr.Lister was fully justified in the charges he preferred against the Sscre- tary of State\u2019s Department, so far as the beads cf the printing bureau and stationery department are concerned, and says he \u201chas done & public service in ferreting out and exposing these transactions.\u201d Very good; but while The Gazette is 80 prompt to pounce down upon subordinates like Burgess, Arnoldi, Perley, Senecal, Bronskill, and others, it has not a word of condemnation for the heads of the departments, whose dele- terivus example of accepting gifts trom public contractors has simply been followed by the subordinates.Itso far has not breathed, much less spoken, a word of disapproval of the conduct of Ministers of the Crown byrking enquiry into matteraÿlikely to affect Ministers them- telves ; though Sir John Thompson, by accepting Sir Richard Cartwright\u2019s motion on Wednesday night, very emphatically condemned the tactics employed by Chapleau, Haggart, Foster, Dewdney and Costigan, to burke enquiry into certain transactions in the Secretary of State\u2019s department.By the way, if those Ministers possessed any self-respect they would resign after having received such a slap in the face from the Minister of Justice.It is all right for The Gazette to condemn subordinates who have been convicted of wrong-doing, but it should pot stop there ; it should extend îts condemnation to the heads of departments whose deleterious example, rather than the innate badness af the subordinates themselves, is mainly responsible for the development of practices which have led tv the departments at Outawa being designated as dens of thieves, \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 OUR CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEES at Ottawa must have had \u201ca rough road to travel\u201d of late years.In such a hot bed of corruption a really honest man had no chance.If he did not follow the example of his superiors, his very presence would have been a reproach to them and some excuse would soon have been made for his removal.Following their example, however, seems only to have staved off the evil day for a short time, and now found out and discredited they are summarily packed out of their ofli- ces.The number of these tarnished re- spectabilities who will be seeking other positions is a menace to the country, and it is a mercy ot Providence that to such as these, who can cross the line in irreproachable garments and with fat purses in their pcckets, Uncle Sam readily opens his arms.lta THE CATTLE TRADE.\u2018When the time comes\u2014as it inevitably will come\u2014that Canadian cattle growers are deprived of their preferential standing in the British markets, what a howl of indignation they will raise, 1 his preference 18 worth nearly two mil lion dollars à year to them, and yet such is the apathy which bas fallen over the public spirit of the country that we nowhere hear a protest against the endangering of this valuable privilege.That the trade to be fostered in Canada gby allowing American catile to be brought in alive willever amount to anything, was pretty well exploded by the \u201c dead meat\u201d swindle, but there is no doubt some private parties will have what may be thought by their gulls a valuable property to sell Shall the chief export of the country be endangered that private parties may get righ?_THE MONTREAL That is the question for cattle growers to answer, as the first, and most direct loss will fall upon them.The people of Canada do not geem to see that this is a trap directly set by.the high protectionist party in England, in order to find an excuse for the restriction and final sto:- page of the live stock trade, which has always been à \u201cbete noire\u201d to them.If by any chance the slightest case of cattle disease should hereafter be reported, and they will soon see t) that part of the scheme, then they have just the lever they want to work upon the English people.This cattle export privilege is almost the only benefit Canada obtains for the continuation of the British connection, and yet the very pe ple who profess to be frothiag over with loyalty are the ones to endaager it.There is much food for reflection here.\u2014_\u2014 HAMILTON HERALD : People who speak of Montieal being slow because it is French are requested to observe that à woman has just been run over in that city and killed by an undertaker\u2019s team.If this does not indicate bustle and stir, it would be hard to say what odes, Indeed! Who says Montreal is slow ?When the citizens of the commercial metropolis get up a demonstration or a reception and put their best foot forward, there is nothing slow about them.If 1Le Hamilton editor thinks differently let him come down and try to run Montrealers; he will suddenly find out his mistake.\u2014_\u2014 THE TIDE OF CORRUPTION Ïs still rising tnd of the whole ministry in the House of Commons Sir John Thompson seems the only one whose skirts are clear.Whether 1n bis judicial capacity there is a Jack of opportunities, or whether the limbs of the law wivh whom he is chiefly brougbt into connection are such past grand masters in the art that they can hide their tracks better,cannot pe safely said, For the credit of our common country it is to be hoped that it is neither of these reasons but the incor- 1uptible honesty of the man himself, Anyway, it is something very suggestive after the reasons given by certain politicians for not selecting Sir John as Premier.ZLe stone which the Tory builders rejected seems to have become the head of the corner.\u2014_\u2014 THE VOICE OF THE PRESS, Has Blaine Struck a Snag ?Philadelphia Times, It appears that our reciprocity treaty with the Spanish West Indies can\u2019t bs put in force, as England, in convention with Spain, holds the right to enter goods there on any terms granted to the United States.Here 18 another case where the third party is going to be a bother to this country.Alarmed About the National Defences\u2019 New Oileans Picayune, The defenceless conditioz of our coasts and our helplessness to defend the national

alarmed the masses of the people.Tuners has consequently been a demand for better provisions for defense of our seaboard in the way of a more efficient fleet of warships, as well as the erection of the necessary forts and shore batteries mounting the heaviest of modern guns, From the Australian Standpoins, Australian Boomerang.It is quite certain that if Great Britain does not come to meet the Colonies, the Australian Colonies, at all evenis, will never go to meet England.When the Commonwealth of Australia emblazons on 1ts banner, \u2018Free trade in Australia, Protection against the world,\u2019 there is no reason, and there will be no desire, to give British manufacturers the slightest advantage over their German or American competitors, unless we receive a substatial quid pro quo.The \u2018crim on thread\u2019 is all very well as a figure of speech, but\u2014business is business.The Crops and Taxes, London Advertiser, The high tax papers are getting raady to claim for their policy the improvement in trade that may come from the good crops and the increase in price which results from the great shortage in the old world.The fact is that the policy of high taxation does nothing for the crops except reduce the buying powers of their owners.The farmer hag to sell at the price governed in the world\u2019s markets, but when he takes his pay in necessaries of life he has to pay toll\u2014first, to the Dominion Government to be expended in too many cases for the benefit of the McGreevys and Ar- noldis, and secondly, to the monopolists, who are empowered by act of Parhament to toll the consumers for their own bene- tit.The \u201cprotective\u201d policy is a delusion and a snare, as thousands who voted for it when first proposed have since found out, and are now prepared to affirm.The Liberal Candidate in Argenteuil.Lachute Watchman, Tory, It is hardly necessary to say that our relations with that gentleman (Mr.de- Laroade) have been of the most intimate nature.Personally we shall not have one unkind word to say of him, and trust that even in the heat of the fight nothing will be said disparageingly of his ability, amiability and general good qualities, one of which is that having the ability and brain requisite to give blows, he can receive them back without whining and crying, \u201cYou don\u2019t play fair.\u201d \u2014\u2014 Why His

was quietly buried by the side of her husband ia the lawn of Polk Place residence on Sunday last.By the terms of the ex-Pre- sident\u2019s will, the Polk home passes into the custody of the State of Tennessee, to be held in trust to be occupied from time to time by his kinsman bearing the name of Polk, who shall be designated by the Legislature as most worthy.The follownig clause in the ex-President\u2019s will is interesting : \u201cShould I survive ber (Mrs.Polk), unless influenced by circumstances which I donot now foresee, it is my intention to emancipate ail my slaves, and I bave full confiience that, if at her death she shall deem it proper, she will emancipate them.\u201d * ** Ir Ingalls is neither selfish nor envious, but the mere mention of Mr.Blaine as President gives him the cold shivers and tarnishes the polish of his boots.NEw Wendell Phillips\u2019 memory is to be honored by the erection 0a public hal.bearing his name.Of course it will be a Boston institution.Mrs.Phillips is Said to have given her consent to t'e scheme, but she would not hear of a statue to her busband being put up.She knows what Boston statues look like.* x % It is no new fad for London swells to contract for their button hole bouquets.Itis a long established all the year round cust.m, and the cost is not mure than $2 per we:k fortwo bouquets a day.In the same way many gentlemen contract for their clothes, receiving a certain number of suits each year aod returning the worn ones as the new goods come in.* ® x President Harrison means to drop his lines in Echo Lake, in the Mount Me- Gregor region, and pull out & nice hamper of fish to send to Mr.Blaine, The echo of Biaine\u2019s thanks will come back to him later on.x x® The Empress Eugenie gives sad signs of failing powers and waning health,and it is but a dim shadow of the glorious Montijo who was once France\u2019s ideal of womanly beauty and whom the painter Winterhalter pronounced perfect in every charm of her sex.* x Conservative citizpns of Long Island are getting tired of being knocked out by Mayor Pat Gleason, whose idea of municipal government seems to be to floor all opposition, and are thinking of engaging John L.Sullivan as an opposition candidate.This would be a good move if there was any assurance that tLe two sluggers would not pool their iesues and flatten out everybody else.xx x Sir Charles Dilke has built himself a cosy vilia at Dochett Eddy, on the Thames, and is near enongh to London to have all its advantages as a resort without being liable to come across its unpleasantness.The Archbishop of Canterbury is a warm personal friend of Mr.Spurgeon and a constant visitor at his bedside, In the {raternity of genuine humanity there is no room for sectarian fences.Suppe, the composer, has just celebrated his silver wedding.He is 71 years\u2019 old, but when music is mentioned he throws off 50 years and becomes as joyous as a school boy.\u2014 They make

home to-day in time.\u201d The meeting Will now probably not take place till next week, as four of the members will be out of town and it will be impossible to obtain a quorum.Ald.Robert left last night for Quebec, on business connected with the Board of Cullers; Ald.Wilson is at the seaside, and Ald.Cunningham and P.Dubuc are both out of town, \u2014rer They Couln\u2019t Understand Her.Annie Nillsson, a Norwegian immigrant who arrived in the city on Monday last and Who was arrested onWednesday night for being drunk, was let off yesterday morning by the recorder as she promised faithtully not to transgress again.Annie, however, seems to have had an idea ot going in for record breaking for she found herself in the hands of the police again yesterday evening with clear indications that her promise to the recorder had been quickly forgotten.Her second arrest was for the additional crime of having stolen a watch from the house where she was acting as waitress, an eating house on Craig-street.Anoie made strong protestations of her innocence, but was so utterly incoherent in Ler statements tothe police that they were fairly puzzled to know what fo make of her and therefore had to let her go for the time being until they could obtain further information about the watch she is said to have stolen.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 They Object to the Improvements, The city clerk has received a protest from the inhabitants in Longueuil, La- prairie and other towns on the south side of the river, The protest is agaiust the continuance of the harbor improvements and threatens to hold the city responsible for any damages which may be, or bave been, caused to these towns, by the dumping of refuse from the dredging at Boucherville Islands and other «places where this work is going on.They vemand also that what has already been dumped be taken up and removed elsewhere and they object altogether to the plan of harbor improvements which is being carried on at present as they maintain tbat it is calculated to injure their property all along the south shore.The protest is signed Mayor B.Normandin, (Longueuil), Mayor T.A.Brisson, M.D., (Laprairie) and also by C.Broesard, L.Brodeur, Dr.J.A.Demers and J.B.B, Durocher.A similar protest has also been served on the Dominion Government Missing Mice Tuesday Night, Yesterday a man named Watson walked into police headquarters to inform the detectives that his son John is missing.The young man is 22-years old, married and lived at 132 Barrie- street.His complexion isdark and his hair brown.He is tall, measuring 5 feet 11 inches in his stockings.On Tuesday evening he was seen down af the Allan Line wharf.There he was talking to a friend and bade him good-bye, saying that he was going to take the Notre Dame-street cars to the Longeuil ferry; as he was going to cross over.This was about 8.30.Since then no trace of him can be found.Detective Barrett bas examined the employees of the ferry company but none remember having seen such a man on the might in question.Watson had only been in this country about six months, during which time he was peddling in company with his father.He was happy and comfortable and was strictly temperate in his habits, His friends know of no reason for his disappearance.a ee .\u2018Watches, in gold and silver of the highest grades guaranted.Correct by okservatory

Richmond\u2014 At Present the Thieves Are Unknown but Clues Have Been Foand, Once more the Canadian Express Company is called upon to trace out and punish the perpetrators of a daring robbery which bas been committed siyme- where between Portland and Montreal.On Tuesday night messenger Mc- Laughlin left Portland and during his jourcey as far as Richmond he collectad ten packages of money and valuables.It was bis duty to place these parcels in a canvas bag; this is then tied and sealed and when Richmond is reached it is handed to the town agent.As far as yet known this program was carried out.certainly the bag was handed in to the Richmond office.Here it stayed uatil the arrival of the Montreal-Quebec train, when it was landed to Messenger W.J, Taylor, whose duty :t Was to distribute the ¢on- tents at their respective destinations alcng the line east of Richmond.A:ter the bag was received by Taylor he had some hours to wait ; his intention wes to open the bag, take out the way bills, check the packages and piace them for distribution.Not thinking to see whether or not the seal was genuine he broke it and opening the bag pulled out the contents.To him they were strange packages and to add to his astonishment the way bill was missing, Hastily tearing open the packages one af.erthe other he discovered that all 10 of them were tilled with brown paper.Reeling back with astonishment he thought of the awful crime which had been committed and which he had discovered, thinkicg at the same time of the unpleasant situation in which he found himself.The paper was replaced and the wires soon brought a message t) Montreal that the company had been robbed.Assistant Superintendent Sparl- ing at once left for Richmond, and after spending the day in investigating concluded to return and report to the sugerintendent., This report was anything put favorable, yet in it there were words of hope, as a clue was discovered which will likely Jead to the arrest of the guilty parties.Yesterday Messrs.Bryce and Sparling again lett for Richmond, and all day was spent in enquiries, but nothing of special importance was learned.- It ie, however, thought that the robbery took place in Richmond and that the bag which Taylor received was not the one which was delivered by Mec- Laughlin.As to the extent of the loss it is absolutely impossible to get any idea until the way bills are found or the various agents along the line are communicated with, These bags at times contain very large sums of money, often run ning into many thousands, so that it is very probable that should the thieves succeed in keeping out of the clutches of the :law they will be the ricker by a large amount and the express company will be mulcted to the extent of the robbers gain.Taylor is a trusted employee of tha ccmpany and while no suspicion rests upon bim, his friends are nevertheless forry that his name should be mixed up in such a serious affair.Detectives have been engaged and before the night falls it is likely that some interesting devel- opements will take place.ee.CANADA'S FIRST LORD ARRIVES.He 1s Interviewed and Agrees With Mr, Van Horne Regarding the Rumors, Lord and Lady Mount Stephen arrived yesterday morning at the Bonaventnrs Depot, having travelled from New York by the Delaware and Hudson train.They were accompanied by their nieca, Miss Weehan, Lord Elplimstone and Mr.Russell Stephenson, and were received by Mayor McShane and a large number of the leading citizens of Montreal.In congratulating Lord Mount Stephen on the bigh honers conferred upon him by the Queen, the mayor said the city was proud of this distinction, wbich was an honor to Montreal as well as to Lis Lordship.The party procesded without delay to Lord Mount Stephen\u2019s residence on Drummond-street and later in the day the familiar form and face of the late president of our great Canadian rallway was to be seen on St.James- street where he was exchanging kindly greetings with such of his old Montreal friends as he chanced to meet.When seen at his office, later in the day and asked about the rumors of the amalpam- ation between the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk railways he said that there was no truth whatever in them and in fact such a thing would be impossible both legally and in every other way.These rumors appear to have been confined to this side of the Atlantic, as hts Lordship said he had never heard of them in London and had they existed there he would have been sure to know something of them.Speaking of the election of Mr.Duncan Mclbtyre to the Grand Trunk Board of Directors, he said that if it meant anything at all it certainly indicated that the two companies felt bound to recognise each others existence, but he thought also that it was an indication of a more friendly feeling between the two railways.Lord Mount Stephen says that he does not intend to make any prolonged stay in town; be has only called here to transact a little private business, after which it is his intention to go down the Gulf for a few days, and on his return he will take a trip over the line to the Pacific coast.His interest in the Canadian Pacific is as great as ever, and he says the stock of the company is now becoming an investment-security.During the last financial panic in London the C.P.R.stock stoud at ite highest, and was not in the least affected when many other securities suffered considerable depression.A number of prominent English people are beginning to take an interest in the Northwest, and many of them purpose paying that region a visit during the autumn.China Wants No Naval Demonstration.Paris, Aug.20.\u2014Official information has been received here to the effect that the combined action of the representatives of the powers in China is succeeding in bringing the Chinese Government; to look upon matters in their proper hight._, The local authorities are becoming more conciliatory Sand it begins to look ag if it will not be necessary to make the proposed naval demonstration in which the wharsbips of all the powers represented in Chinese waters were to take part.AT THX RECORDER'S MATINEE, Prisoners Who Were

The Annexation Committee of St.Cunegonde held their adjourned meeting yesterday morning for the purpose of receiving the legal opinion for which they had been waiting, and afcer this had been discussed the following resolution was adopted: That whereas the matter of annexation of St.Cunegonde to Montreal is now legally in possession of the city of Montreal and cannot therefore be interfered with, therefore ail persons interested are earnestly advised to register no vote whatever on 25th and 2th inst,, as said vote would be in all respects void, and we affirm that said vote as called for over signature of (.N, Ducharme, City Clerk, is of no force, not having been authorized by resolution of Council of St, Cune- gonde.It now remains to be seen what further steps will be taken by the anti-annexa- tion party in the matter.Meetings and counter meeiings have been held fir some time past, and the end of the fight seems to be as far off as ever.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014

IN ABUNDANCE.CONTINUATION OF THE EXAMINA- | TION OF BANK MANAGERS, Mr.Barwick tells the senate Railway Com mittee Where that $10,000 Come From, FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.Orrawa, Aug.20.\u2014As the opening of the Baie des Chaleurs investigation this morning Mr.Barwick annouaced tuat Mr.Chrysostom Langelier would appear before the committee on Tnursday and the chairman said that Mr.Lan- gelier might be asked to be here on Tue:- day next.This was agreed on Mr, Barwick continuiog his statament of yesterday said that $10,000 paid: to Hon.Mr.Mercier come indirectly from the $288,000 voted by the Federal Government.Mr.P.B.Dumoulin, manager of the Banque du Peuple at Quebec, was the first witness, He said that on May 10 Mr.Pacaud drew $7000 from the account in his bank, which account was secure 1 by one of the\u201d $20,000 checks signed by Chrysostome Lanpgelier.fur.Louis Marcoux, Secretary-Treas- urer of La Caiese D\u2019Economic, was then allied, and produced copi-s of the eatries of deposit vi the $7000 check of the Banque dun Peuple, of wh'ch Mr.Dumoulin Lau just beeu syeuking.That caeck was deyorited with another check of $7000 to the credit of L.Sirois, and this document which he proouced was a cert:fied extract of the cash book and ledger account of Mr.Pacaud and showed a deposit of $8000 on May 16 last.Producing the dep sit slip he showed that the depoaic for $8000 was made up of a check of $1000 and the check of $7000 just referred to.On May 16the witness depossted that $7000 with the Banque Nationale and on this slip was shown the $7000 which was credited to Sirois.Mr.Dumoulin was here recalled aod identified the deposit slipof $7000 on May 18 (Monday) being for the same check wbich was marked on May 16.Witness said it appeared to be the same Pacaud\u2019s check, At this juncture Mr.Marcoux was again brought back and identified a check for $8000 drawn by L.P.Sirois on May 26, last.Continaing he said that this check was drawn by Sirois to pay to Mary Jane Fry, it being understood tbat Blrois was Dame Fry's financial agent.He said that Mary Jane Fry was the proprietor of the house bought by Mr, Pacaud on Dufferin Terrace.Mr.Barwick then said that in this $8000 was $7000 which came from the $100,000 letter of credit, which came from the $288,000 of Dominion subsidy.He claimed that he had traced $45, 000 of that subsidy to Mr.Pacaud and his friends and that was all he was able now to prove.He therefore asked tha these witness be discharged.Messrs, Marcoux and Dumoulin were then discharged, Mr, John J.Macdonald was the next witness, He testified that he was a contractor of River du Loup, He was asked to go over the Baie des Chaleurs Road by Mr.Heaton Armstrong, banker, of London, England, Mr.Armstrong said he was asked to take hold of the road by Mr, Mercier.Witness went over 60 miles of the road in October last and made an offer to tie Quebec Government.He was accompanied by Messrs.Malcolm aud McCarty, of Toronto, as practical men to examine tue road.\u2018With Mr.Heaton Armstrong and Mr.Hector Cameron he went to New York to meet Mr.Mercier to come to a mutual understanding as to the offer Mr.Mercier had made to Mr.Heaton Armstrong.This was at the Albemarle Hot I, New York.Mr.Mercier offered Mr, Armstrong $10,000 a mile for tbe 40 miles to be huilt, or $400,000, and Mr.Armstroag was to take the bonds and subsidies from the Dominion Government.The $400,000 was to be paid in subsidiss rom the Quebec Government.Mr.Armstrong, the English banker, was to furnish bonds for $20,000 a mile fcr 100 miles and the Quebec Govera- ment was 10 guarantee the bonds.Mr.Armstrong was to deposit $840,000 in cash with the Government to guarautee the int.rest on tiie bonds.Shortly after the witness met Mr.Pacaud in Quebec and he wanted to arrange that the witness was to get nothing till the 100 miles was completed, Pacaud went tothe Government and ascertained tbat this \"was satisfactory.Witness then went to C.N.Armstrong in Mont- treal and got ail the information he had sbout the road.He again went over the road and ascertaining the cost of the work and inquiring as to the claims outstanding againet the road, and obtained further information from Mr Pacaud as to the debts on the road He first offered Mr.Riopel $150,000 to pay these debts apd declined that he would become further responsible.Riopel refused and witness increased the offer to $175,000.Riopel, he thought, accepted the offer and witness immediately wired Mr.Hector Cameron t> come to Quebec and draw the legal agreement.This was about the first week of February.Mr.Cameron came ts Quebec andthen Mr.Riopel backed ont, stating that he wanted a share in the ccntract, In answer to Mr, Brown the witness £aid that Mr.Heaton Armstrong was ready to put up the $175,000 in the Bank of Montreal to meet the debts on the road according with his agreement wih Mr.Riopel.Out ot this $175,000 Mr.McFarlane or his creditors were to get $75,000 for his claim against the road.Mr.Macdonald estimated that he would have to run the road at a loss for the first four or five years.He gave an estimate of the total outlay wuich be would have to make on the road.Among the estimated expenses he allowed $5000 to be paid to Mr.Pacaud as commission on advances of subsidies which he expected Mr.Pacaud to get from the Government for him.This he considered perfectly legitimate.The agreement with Mr.Riopal broke up, as be said, in February.Aitarwards he saw Mr.Thom in Montreal and learned that the Quebec Goverament had of- ered $610,000 to Mr.Cooper to construct the road.Mr.Macdonald said this was $160,000 more than he offered to do the work for.Mr.Thom expecied to make $300,000 out cf the work, but thefwitness did not agree with that estimate, Mr, Thom thought himself very smart in getting the order in council worded so that he would not have to run the road alter its completion.As to CN.Armstrong\u2019s claim M Thom, according to the witness, sai that it \u201call went into boodle.\u201d Mr.Rio- pel told the witness that Armstrong would take $30,000 for bis claim.The witress contended that there was nothing due to Armstrong as he got more in subsidies than Armstrong\u2019s work was worth.He held that Armstrong\u2019s work was worth at most $12,000 or $13,000 a mile exclusive of rolling stock.His niopion was the first 60 miles never cost | $20,000 a mile as Mr.Ararstrong claimed., An ample sllowance wauld be as he i said, $12,000 to $13,000.70 Mr, Power witness said that no : meml er of ihe Quebec Government had | ever told him tust Pacaud was the r«- | cognized agent of the Government.He only dealt with Pacand as an experienced commission agent in whem he had confidence on account of his experience sith him in other transactions.\"ie Mr.C.N.Armstrong the witness said Mr.Mercier did not agree st the New York meeting to give a new charter and take the road from the old company.; .Mr.Thom questioned the witness as to his statement that Mr.Armstrong's claim bad ali gons in boodle.The witness said that the statement was made in Mr, Thom\u2019s office in Montreal.Mr.August Edge, formerly private secretary to Col.Rhodes, and now secretary to Mr.Ernest Pacaud, was called aad identified à document authorizing bim to get certain checks at La Bangne Nationale.He said that Mr.Pacaad left Que bec on Monday last to go to New York for Europe.He left on Sunday for Ottawa, but on board the train he was told that he would have to bring documents with him.Ha waited till Monday for the documents.elf RAIN-MAKING IN TEXAS, Gen.Dyrenforth's Explosives Brought Down a Torrent Over a Wide Area, MipLaxp, Tex., Aug.20.\u2014 lhe first experiment here with Gen.Dyrenforth\u2019s rain-making balloon was made yesteriay and was a great success.There were a iew ecattered clouds in the sky at the time the exre-iment was made, but no indiction of rain.Several kites with dynamite attached to their tails were sent up immediately after the balloons, and the dynamite was exploded by elect:icity, while rend-rock powder was exploded.Great volumes of white smoke ascended, only to be beaten down by the rain, which at once began falling and continued for four hours and twenty minutes.Incoming ranchmen and trainmen say the rain extended over an area of many miles, and Prof.Curtis, meteorologist for this rainfall expedition, estimates that it covers an area of not less than 100 miles.Between the C ranch and this town, a distance of 25 miles.the roads are badly washed out.Ag this despatch is being written, late this afternoon, the sun is shining in a cloudless sky, but heavy clapsof thunder are heard in the direction ot C ranch.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 American Patents in Germany.BERLIN, Aug.20.\u2014A patent lawyer of Berlin, Mr.Edwon A.Brydges, declares that hundreds of American patents,some of them of great importance, have been cancelled here and the use of these American inventions made free to whoever cares to have them.This has been due to ignorance of the requirements of the German patent law on the partof Americans, Paragraph 11 of the Imperial German atent law of 1877 provides that a patent can be withdrawn after the lapse of three years.1.If the patentee neglects to work his invention in the country.2.When it appears conducive to the public interest that permission to use the invention be granted to others, and the patentee refuses to grant such permission for adequate compensation and on good security.\u2019 Many Americans have paid no attention to this paragraph.They have failed either to work their patent in Germany or to dispose of the right of manufacture to some German house within the three years\u2019 legal limit, Another cause for the forfeiture of many American patents in Germany has been the failure to pay the taxes due.\u2014_\u2014 Arrival of the French Fleet in the Solent, Porrsmoura, Aug.20.\u2014The French fleet entered the Solent to-day.M.Wad- dington, the French Ambassador to the Court of St.James, formally received the visitors.As the visiting fleet passed Spithead the French war ships saluted the flag of the British Admiral, which salute was promptly returned by the flagship, the Luke of Wellington, and by a garrison battery of artillery.The vessels of both fleets dipped their ensigns as the French vessels made their way towards Cowes.\u2018When the French vessels arrived off Cowes they saluted the royal standard, which was flying from the tower of Osborne.In this salute the guardship in Southampton water, H.M.8.Invincible, responded with a salute to the French flag.Queen Victoria and Princess Beatrice witnessed the arrival from the terrace of Osborne House.The anchorage is under the meadows of Osborne Park, having been selected by the Queen herself.er Another Outrage by Turkish Brigands.CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug.20.\u2014An Italian railroad inspector, who was at work about 70 miles from Salonica, has been abducted by brigands, and he is sup- poged to be held a prisoner pending the payment of a heavy ransom.The body of a murdered railroad workman was found near the spot where the inspector was last seen, and it is supposed that he was killed in order to prevent him from giving the authorities the cue as to the route taken by the brigands.No news has been received up to date of the Frenchman Ruffier, who started about a week ago to ransom his employer, M, Raymend, who was held a prisoner by the brigands.terse An English Clergyman Disgraced, LoxroN, Aug.20.\u2014Before the Hall- sham

Bullstin, hag received a letter in which be is threataneq with a Leavy suit for libel unless certain retractions are made and ample apology given.For many years it is a well knowp: fact tbat shippers of grain have com plained of being the victims of dis.honeety somewhere, and many of them: say tl ey have lost very heavily, It will.be remembered that a little over a week.ago two men were practically caught ip.the act of stealing and selling ten hays of wheat.They pleaded guiity but declareq.that they only took the sweepings., Thig was, however, afterwdads proved untrue as the grain was good No.2 wheat.Both men were gent to jail for fifteen days and the Montreal Elevating Company.were the prosecutors.This wouid have.+nded the case had not gn interested pper taken it upon himself to ask Mavager McDougall why he did not make the arrest as soon a8 detective Barrett discovered the thieves.Mr, McDougall seplied that he had no power 10 order the arrest of the men.The Trade Bulletin of the 14th inst, after giving Mr.McDougail\u2019s answ r to the sbipper and telling of a similar reply tent by Mr.McDoug-1Vs solicitor to (he directors of the company, makes the following remarks: Tbe Trade Bulletin of Aug.14 stated that Mr.MeDougall, the manager of the Montreal Elevating Company, instead of acting promptly in ordering the arrest of the two men above referred to and making a searching inquiry into the taeft, treated the mutter with indifference ang even went so far as to get a letter from a legal authority giving it as his opinion tbat it was not in Mr.McDougall's province to arrest the men caught selling the wheat for $10, but that it rested with.the owners of the grain te take action, although the Elevating.Company were the custodians.It, however, was soon evident to the directors of the company that Mr.McDougalld was the proper authority to prosecute, and even then, according to the Trade Bulletin, the prosecution became an unwilling one and did pot pass the investigation as far as the shippera still think it was 1ts duty to do.It 18 this article which Mr, McDougal looks upon as a libel, and Mr.L.H.Davidson, of Davidson & Ritchie, writes.to Mr.Mason demanding a retraction.The editor at once placed the matter in the hands of McLaren, Leet, Smith & Smith, and will be guided by their advice.In reference to this matter a Herald reporter spoke to several prominent Corn Exchange members yesterday, aad in every case the feeling seemed to be one: of pleasure that the question had at last been brought to the notice of the public, and perhaps might come before the authorities.One shipper stated that he forwarded à cargo of grain to a British port and when it arrived there it was found to be 800 bushels short, and so careful were the authorities on the other side to make sure no mistake occurred on their part, that they removed the boards at the bottom of the vessel to eee that no grain was in the bold, and then re-weighed the grain.Surely, this shipper says, in the light of the repeated shortages that bave occurred in grain shipped from this port, and thes strong suspicion that irregularities have been carried on for years by parties connected with the Elevating Company, it was bigh time for the manager to not obly take prompt action the moment he Was furnished with incontrovertib e proof of an actual theit, but to inst:tuts a full and searching enquiry into the affair to find out by others who must have been cognizant of the ir.egularities, how long this thing had been going on.The feeling among sbiprers is that the manager of the Montreal Elevating Company conspicuously failed to do this, and it is this remissness on the part of the management which the Trade Bulletin criticizes, aud for which it is threatened with à libel suit.ENGLAND AT THE CHICAGO FAIR.Commissioner McCormick Thinks Her Exhibition Will be a Good One, New York, Aug.20.\u2014Among the passengers on the White Star steamsaip Teutonic, which arrived yesterday, was Robert McCormick, resident commissioner to Great Britain of the Chicago World\u2019s Fair.Mr.McCormick was for two years secretary to the American Legation in London, and resigned to accept the commissionership.He has opened offices in Victoria-street, London, almost opposite the United States Legation.He sald to a reporter yesterday : * Persons whose opinion is worthy of consideration, and who were disposed to feel that there was no object in Great Britain\u2019s being largely represented at the Exposition by the products of her mines and workshops, are now conyinced that even if the McKinley tariff, which has baen such a bugbear, had turned out to be a stone wall through which they could not penetrate with their goods, it would still be to their interest to ex- bibit.The reason for this is that they now believe that representatives.from every market in the world, to which they send their goods, will be at Chicago in 1893, and Great Britain's manufactures must be there to contest the field which has hitherto been hers almost exclusively.Sir H: Trueman \u2018Wood, secretary of the Society of Arts and Mr.James Dredge of the Royal Commission are coming over on the Augusta Victoria, sailing from fouthamp- ton on Sept.5, in company with our own special commission, who returns then.\u201d \u2014_\u2014 How a Beauts ul Flower
