Principal Witness Yesterday Before the Royal Commission at Quebec\u2014He Tells about the Issuance of the Letters of Credit and the Reasons for it, Le FROM OUR OWN REPORTER, Quesec, Oct.21.\u2014The evidenca ot Mr.Machin, deputy treasurer, was resumed this morning before the commission.He continued the narrative of his eonsulta- tions with Mr.Garneau relative to the iesuance of the orders in council and payment of the letters of credit.He also gave the purport of a conversation with Hon.Mr.Robidoux on the same subject, in which he expressed a doubt as to the sufficiency of the order-inscoun- cil 237 for conversion of the land subsidy intocasb.His (Machin\u2019s) mental difficulty was tbat the preliminaries re- law in quired by other cases such as the passage of a resolution cf the board of directors of the company receiving the bonus, and an order-in-council specially authorizing this conversion, had not been complied with, Mr.Robidoux, however, satisfied him of the constitutiong'- ity of this proceeding by pointing out that tt.e crder-in-council,237, was legally sufficient in as much as it dealt not with & Dew company, but with an old com- pay being reorganized.: In anewer to Judge Davidson Mr.Machin said that the responsibility of seeing that the directors of the new company were able to fulfill all obligations did pot at all attach to his department, but to that ot Public Works.Continuing,he describedihe interview with the bank casbier in his office in tbe treasury department.Messrs.La- france, Hamel! and Gaboury, of the Banque Nationale, had some hesitation in accepting the letter of credit.but finally did so, and then the witness informed Mr.Garneau of: their readiness to proceed with the negotiations, The doca- ments were then drafied, but meantime Mr.Garzeau had lefs his office for the day.The witness then started for home apd met Mr.Armstrong at the door.The latter urged that he (Mr.Machin) should go to Mr.Gargeau\u2019s house and have the matter put through that day,as it was very important.Witness refused, but afterwards agreed to have Mr.Gabou.ry and Mr.O\u2019Regan sent to Mr.Garneau\u2019s house and have him sign the letter of credit as changed to suit the Banque Nationale.Mr.Garneau signed the let- ler that evening and it was presented at the bank at once.Mr.Pacaud was at the departmeat while these events were occurring, but witness only saw him at the door for a moment with Mr.Armstrong, but did not discuss this affair with him.Mr.Duhamel also spoke tothe witness at this time, but he could not racollect what he said.It was not important.The witness had no communication of any kind with Pacaud, nor did his department take any part in the negotiation of the letters of credit.He knew nothing of the causes which led to the visit of the bamk cashiers to his department, He had no communication with Mr, J.C.Langelier on this affair, except that Mr.Langelier had brought a list of claims to his (Machin\u2019s) office asking him to examine them.This he declined to do, saying that the responsibility should remain entirely in the Public Works Department, To Mr.Hall the witness gave other technical evidence, showing that the let- t rs of credit were paid on July 10 by the issuance of à warrant and by the checks in acquittal of the \u2018warrant, On the date when the letters of credit were issued there were no funds to the credit of the Consolidated Railway Fund, but the amount of the letters was charged to that fand when they were finally paid on J aly 10.Witness said there might have been à balance in the Railway Fund on April 28, wbich was due to other accounts, and could not be applied to these Baie des Chaleurs claims.Hence the neces sity of issuing the letter of credit, After a long and labyrinthian examination by Mr.Hall, the witness gave him to understand that when a subsidy bad been voted it could be paid from the general revenue of the Province without waiting for a loan, if any special tund bad been exhausted.Witness never saw a letter of instruction from Mr.Garneau to Mr.Thom, as he bad not read the correspondence between Mr, Mercier and Governor Angers with any degree of care.Mr.Hall with intense persistence labored hard to connect Mr.Pacaod with tbe meeting of bankers in Mr.Machin's room, but the most the witness could remember was that Mr.Pacaud had been in one of the Parliamentary corridors that day.As to the other claims against the old company, witness said they were paid on requisitions of the Public Works Depar;- ment, The only conversation the witness ever had with Mr, J.C.Langelier on the subject of Mr.Armstrong\u2019s claim was in {be office ot Mr Garneau, when Mr.Langelier asked him to exam- ive a sheet of foolscap paper purporting to contain a list of these claims, Mr.Langelier asked him to examine Mr.Armstrong\u2019s acquittal.He did so but said that it had nothing to do with his department.To Mr.Beique the witness said that when the order-in-council 237 was not in the ordinary form, he did not mean to Bay that it was not passed in accordance with the statute.As to his objection to the conversion of land subsidy into cash on the ground that it had not been agreed to by à board of directors, Mr, Beique pointed out that there was is this case no board of directors because the new company had not yet MONTREAL.THURSDAY OCTOBER 22 189] been organized.He asked the witness If, in view of that fuct, his objection would still hold good.The witness said that it seemed to him at that time that the proposed directors of the new company bad no right to demand the conversion of the subsidy from land to cash.But the attorney-general was the proper authority to pass judgment on this point, and the witness admitted that certainly Mr, Robidoux\u2019s opinion, backed by that of the assistant attorney-general, should overrule his, Regular warrants fulfilling all the conditions of the law were issued for the payment of the $175,000 as well as for the smaller claims, but these payments were not negotiated in the same way a1 the lesser ones, for the simple reason that there was not emough money in the treasury.Had there been sufficient furds, Armstrong\u2019s claim would have b-en paid in the same way as the others.Mr, Philip Dumoulin, manager ot La Banque du Peuple at Quebec, was the firet witrees at the afternoon session.He testified that Mr.Philippe Valliere came to him to bave a note for $20,000, signed by him and payable to Pacaud, discounted.Being assured of Mr.Val- liere\u2019s responsibility be accepted the ncte, charging them $2.80 for the dis- connt.The proceeds were put to Mr.Pacaud's credit.On May 6 he withdrew three checks for $1000, $5000 and $2150.He bad asked for instructions from Montreal and had orders to advance Mr.Valliere money when needed, becausa he was a good customer.He preferred to diecount Mr.Valliere\u2019s own note to that of the Government, as in the latter case he would bave to make a number of enquiries.There were notes of Mr.Facaud in the bank which had to be taken up, but these amounted to only $1700 and not to $5000 as he had stated in the investigation before the Senata, Hon.Charles Langelier arrived at the same time and stayed during the time that the negotiations were going on, In July Mr.Langelier made a deposit of $3000, be baving an account there.The amount was in ten $100 and four §500 notes.He repeated what he said before the Senate, where his evidencs wag to the eflect that one of the reasons for discounting the note was a promise on the part of Hon.Chass.Langelier that $50,000 of the money be brought back by Mr.Mercier were to bs deposited in the Banque du Peuple, Mr.P.L.Lafrance, cashier of the Banque Nationale, gave the details of the negotiation of $75,000 letter of credit.He corroborated Mr.Machin\u2019s evidence in every particular with regard to the placing of the letter by Gaboury and credited to J.C.Langelier, Against this letter of cred t five checks were drawn, two to bearer for $10,000 and $145 respectively.The balance of $75,0u0, less the discount, was drawn in checks, endorsed respectively to Robitaille, Cooper and Thom.Witness promised to produce Armstrong\u2019s bank account complete, and the commission arose.= KONOPOLITSEYS EXPERIENCE.Terrible Tale of Woe by an Escaped Bib- erian Exile, Vicroria, B.C., Oct, 21\u2014Among the passengers on the Empress of India was 2 Russian named Demetrius Konopolit- sky,who had escaped from the gold mines at Krasnuyarsk, about 150 niles from the mouth of the Yenesel River, eastern Siberia, whither be had been transported for 16 years for being concerned in the publication of a Nihilist journal, called The Will of the People.Konopolitsky wbo is worn to a skeleton by the bardships endured gives an appalling description of convict life in the mines.For six years, he says, he suffered unheard-of miseries.Kourteen prisoners were shackled together working far below ground in almost total darkness.They all slept in & room about six feet by nine feet, on bare planks, with one a little higher for a pillow.They began work at 7 am.In winter time and finished at 7 p.m,, and in summer time they worked from 4 a.m.to 7 p.m., with only one hour's intermission, between 1 and 2 o'clock.They got but one meal a day, and that consisted of black bread and water, and on Sundays they were allowed a small portion of canned beef, Almost a8 many Cossacks ag convicts stood guard at tbe mouth of the pit, t, absolusely bar all possible means of escape.Any complaints were punished most, rigorously, and on one occasion, Konoplitsky was stripped with the ex.ct ption of a belt around his waist, and shackled to a rock and left exposed to the cruel Siberian climate for 24 hoars, and all for stating to the overseer that he was net quite comfortable, At last the hour of escape arrived.Fourteen of them were working in the one shatt all shakled togetber.With a stone he managed to remove the anklete.The same opportunity of escaps was offered to the others, but he only, so far as he knows, availed himself of it, After weeks of suffering he reached Vladivo- stock.Ore of the prisoners had mau- aged to keep his passport and bad given it to Konoplitsky.Tho refugee almost corresponded with the description given, but Konopliteky bad a tattoo mark of Christ bearing the cross upon his forearm, while the passport particularly pointed out that there was no tattoo marks upon person to whom the passport had been given.The case was a desperate one and required a desperate remedy, With an ordinary clasp knife he cut the pieces of flesh from the arm.The scar is not yet healed.From Vladivestock he worked his passage on a Japanese steamer to Nagasaki, and there hid himself on board the Empress of India, where he made himself known after the vessel was out of sight of land.He was treated with the greatest sympathy and supplied with money and clothes.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Fatal Collision in Manitoba, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, .WrnxiPEG, Oct, 21.\u2014By the collision of two freight trains near Brandon last night, James Bell, contractor of Brandon ; W.Joll, carpenter from Durham County, Ontario, were killed, and D.Bunting of Rosenfelt, Man, was horribly burned and lost a leg.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014e What the matron of the Pro testant In fants\u2019 Home says about Dyer\u2019s Improved Food for Infants: \u201cThe matron of the Protestant Infants\u2019 Home, 508 Guy- street, Montreal, has used Dyer\u2019s Im proved Food for Infants for the babi e and has found it to agree with them and has much pleasure in recom endipgit POLITICAL GOSSIP, Is Senecal, the Deposed Superintendent Being Proseouted Just to Curb MR.CHAPLEAU'S AMBITION ?This Ssems to be the General Impression and fat is so, as Many Think, the Whole Thing 1s Simply s Farce \u2014 Why Are Other Departmental Boodlers Left Free ?OrTawa, Oct.21.-The announcement that à suit bad been commencad against Mr, Senecal has caused quite a commotion in the offictal world here.It gave rise 10 a romor that Mr.Arnoldi\u2019s arrest had been ordered, but inquiries showed that Mr.Arnoldi has not been interfered With.In fact he expects to resume his duties as mechanical engineer of the public works department in a few days.A well-informed Conservative expressed the opinion yesterday that the prosecution of Senecal had been ordered by Sir Jobn Thompson and Mr.Abbott with the view of embarrassing Mr.Chapleau and possibly forcing Lim out.\u201cYou se\u201d said the gentleman, \u201cChapleau Is kicking like a steer for promotion to a higber cabinet position.The premier 18 afraid to give him promotion.So be starts a prosecution of Senecal and will tell Chapleau as the evidence to be brought out at Senecal\u2019s trial may compromise him (Chapleau) he cannot ask for promotion until the trial is over.And the case may not come to trial for a year.In my opinion \u2018tbe prosecution of Senecal issimply ascheme to curb Chapleau\u2019s ambition.It ig possible that Chapleau assented ts taking action against Senecal in the hops of appeasing the feeling among the Ontario Tories against him, but I doubt that.Chapleau has declared over and aver again that neitber the country nor the Government lost anything by Senecal\u2019a boodling.If that is tha case then the Minister of Justice hag no case against Senecal, and the suit brought azaïnst him is a roaring farce.\u201d Another Conservative official was quits excited and angry when told of the suit brought against Senecal.\u201cHe is the only French Canadian against whom they have a case, and of course they must single him out for prosecntion.Why dou\u2019tthey go eftar Mr.Bradley?The case atainst him admis of no doubt.Ard Chapleau, the poor coward, allows his compatriot~\u2014tte man whom be appointed to office and whom he still praises as an honest and capable officer, to be singled out for prosecution.Wh are they lehving McGreevey, Perley, the Conpollys, Arnoldi and the others alone?Is it because they are afraid of them, How is Senecal going to hand back to the Government the money which he gave to the Conservative campaign fund in Montreal?This singling out of Seneca\u2019 for prosecution and letting the others off will kill the Government in Quebec!\u201d Itis rumored in official circles that His Excellency the Governor-General ha ruggested to Premier Abbott that S.r Hector Langevip\u2019s name be strack from the list of Privy Councillors for Canada.in accordance with the precedenis in tue Fox and Melbourne cases in England about the beginning of the present century, and the more recent case of Sir Charles Dilke.Mr.Abbott hss promised to consider the matter, but Sir Hector's friends will enter a vigorous protest against such a proceeding, The Journal yesterday contained a statement which professed to give an unqualified denial to the assertion of The Globe that Mr.Chapleau had offered himself to the Liberals.He said there Wes not a word of truth in the gtory ; he had never approached any Liberal, directly or through an intermediary, for any such purpose, He had never offered to leave the Jonservative party, or made offers direct or indirect with that gbicot, His denial was complete and pal.It is onderstood that in the course of the session, at a time when things first began to look blue for Sir Heetor, a prominent Conservative meteMr, Chapleau and eald be had just heard it stated that he, the Secretary of State, had sent g man to Laurier to sound him about going over to the Liberals r.Chapleau was not quite sure he had heard arigh end asked his informe \u2018ment not to repeat the statement.This being done,Mr.Chaplesu said that he was quite willing Mr.Laurier should be asked whether anything of the kind had taken place, and he ventured the assertion that neither Mr.Laurier nor any other man would dare say to his face that he, a Cabinet minister in the fall enjoyment ot the confidence of his colleagues and sbaring daily their councils, hed committed such an act of treachery.Tho Journal, which makes the above statement on behalf of Mr.Chapleau, contends that the omus of proof now rests upon The Globe._ The same paper, witha view to discrediting it, refers to the story now get agoing that it is settled Sir Hector Lan- evinis to be Lieutenant-Governor at Quebec, succeeding Hon, Mr.Angers, who is to be takeninto the reconstructed Cabinet.The Journal, which may be taken as representing the views of the more independent section of the Cabinet, says: \u201cThere ig very good reason to state that, if anything of the kind has been arranged, it must have been between Sir Hector and Hon.Mr.Anger; themselves, and that none of the minig- try are &t present committed to any such solution, whatever may be the cage later on.A suggestion was once talked ove- that Sir Hector be made Lient.-Governo: of Quebec in case of his resignation.It wa: pimmediately pointed outto the premier tbat if such an appointment were decide 1 on it might have disastrous consequea- ces in Dominion politics.It is not by any means sure yet, that contractors have no further revelations to make.It would be a pretty reflection, inthe event of such revelations aml their event.remotely touching the late Minister of Public Works if tbat gentleman were actually in office, the representative of the Governor-General and the ultimate constitutional authority, in the political complications that might ensue.The same series of events that bar Sir Hector out of the Dominion Cabinet, are consequently held to bar him out of Spencer- wood.\u201d Another matter that is much talked about, is the French Coneervative leadership.It is spoken about as though there wasan election and a recognized head.There is nothing of the kind.It appears from the recent events that Mr.Chapleau leads the majority, and whilst tbat is the cage, Bir Hector can no longer be recognized as leader in that province._\u2014 THE GRAND TRUNK REPORT.Disappolating Results for the Half-Year, but Bright for the Future, Loxpox, Oct.21\u2014The Grand Trunk halt-yearly report was issued to-night, in view of the meeting on Oct.30, The directors admit tte disappointing results of the half-year\u2019s operations, the net traffic receipts being £471,775, as compared with £549,469 for the preceding half-year; and the nes revenue receipts being £502,288, as compared with £591,- 891 for the previous half-year.The decline is caused by the low freight rates and low fares, and the deficient harvest of last year.This year's harvest, however, is soexcellent in quality and quantity as to assure improved traffic until this time next year.The prospects of the company are more hopeful than for some time past.The condition of the road is such as to enable the company to earn increased traffcs.The directors feel justified in expecting a general improvement in the position of the company.The St.Clair tunnel greatly redounds to the credit of the company, and will be of immense advantage to the system.Two &greements in reference to the Water- Joo Junction Railway will be submitted to the meeting.Mr.George Allan has heen elected a director, in place of Mr.Campbell, resigned, and Mr, Alexander Hubbard, deputy chairman of the Great Western Railway of England, will be proposed in place of Mr.Dickson, de- ceaged.The selection of Mr.Hubbard a8 a director is regarded as most significant.Messrs.Hubbard, Allan and MacIntyre wore exactly those suggested to the board when discontent with the company\u2019s former «policy was at its beight, This desire to bring tre policy of tte company up to date, together wth the excellent harvest prospects, incline the public to view the report very favorably.à treet.Hold to the Charges, ToroxTo, Ont., Oct.21,\u2014Mr.Chapleau denles, says the Globe, the statement of tbe Glebe that he offered through an intermediary to desert to the Opposition last session.Nevertheless the charge is true.It is a matter which cannot very well be pettled by controversy at long range.The House fs the place for testing our assertion and Mr.Chapleau\u2019s counter-assert- ion, for those who have a direct knowledge of the circumstances will then be face to face.Next session, therefore, should Mr.Chapleau still be in the bumor, let him state his case in the presence of the Liberal members and he will get hie answer, namely, that besijes siding in tbe impeachment of Sir Hector he did offer through an intermediary to croes the floor with all the followers he could muster and that the Liberals declined to have anything to do with him.\u201d -\u2014 Mr.Chapleau\u2019s Condition.Orrawa, October 21.\u2014Thecon dition of Hon.J.A Chaplean, who was taken ill very suddenly yesterday, is giving his friends here and elsewhere very great slarm.Enquiries are pouring in from all directions.Mr.Chapleau passed a very satisfactory night.He slept well and this morning he seems to be greatly improved.Of course he is confined to bed, and will not be able to resume work for three or four days.Dr.Church does not regard his patient\u2019s condition at all alarming, _\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 SHE JUMPED FROM A MONUMENT, A Baltimore Woman Leaps from the Top of the Washington Shaft, BALTIMORE, Oct, 22.\u2014Miss Alice Hecht daughter of Moses Hecht, one of the best- known and most substantial Hebrew citizens ot Baltimore, threw herself from the top of the Washington monument in this city about noon today.No one saw her jump, but there can be no question that it was a premedited suicide.She Was terribly bruised.She was discover®d by a man who started to go up the monument.He notified John urns, the keeper's son, who was then on duty.The body was taken to the morgue, where it remained unidentified until this evening.The suicide must have been contemplated, for Miss Hecht had made visits to the monument often enough to make her face familiar to Burns.It was not until Saturday that she plucked up sufficient courage to make the ascent.She came down in a short while and went away.This morning she came again, and, after handing young Burns the usual fee of 15 cents, went up the winding stairway.Burns said she appeared to be despondent.Some time afterward a man who had been on the monument told Burns that there was a lady at the top who had appeared to be sick.He had questioned her, but she had answered that she was only nervous, and he had left her.Burns went up, but found that Miss Hecht had recovered.He came down, and, looking up from the outside, saw her looking toward the east.It was only a few minutes after this that her body was found, Mr.Hecht declined to give any information as to the cause of the suicide.It is known, however, that for some time she has been melancholy, She was 30 years old and was very short in stature.Until abous five years ago she went in Hebrew society a great deal.As her companions became married one after the other, Miss Hecht began to brood, and life seemed to have lost its charms for her._\u2014 Transients, give the Mec- Nally House a trial, 742 La- gauchetiere-street, 3 CENTS: 36 PER YEAR CONSPIRACY CASE._\u2014 Michael Connolly Tells How He Made Out a Note For $400,000 For Fun, IT WAS TAKEN SERIOUSLY.The Witness Teils All About the Mysterious Bancroft, the Invisible Personage That Bothered the Heads of the Privileges aud Elections Committee\u2014Not to be Believed on Oath, \u2014\u2014 SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.- Quesec, Oct.21.\u2014The Murphy-Me- Greevy conspiracy case was resumed in the Criminal Court this morning.Michael Connolly was the first witness.He described how he scribbled out the famous $400,000 nots and turned it over to O.E.Murphy, who saw it was good and put it in his pocket.The witness did not owe Murphy anything at that time nor was he worth $100,000.Whea Murphy came to Quebec in 1880 he was known as E.[Murphy, while in 1885 he called himself O, E.Murphy.Only on one occasion had Murphy ever said anything about the note from the time it was made up till it appeared in court.That was in the winter of 1888, They had been getting some payments from the firm and as they came out Murphy said jokingly: \u201cThis would be a good time to pay that note.\u201d Mec- Greevy asked what note was that, and Murphy said he had a note of Connolly\u2019s for several hundred thousand dollars.McGreevy said the note was no good.Witness was examined at length upon the different items in the account put in by Murpby in the Civil Court to prove that consideration had been given for the rote.As to the item of $5000 for his +xpenees to England, witness explained tbat Murpby had entrusted his money to him to save it from being seized and the} went to England together.When they parted on the other side witness handed Murphy the balance of his money, come $10,000, in British sovereigns.Cross-examined by Mr.Belleau, wits ness ssid he had known Murphy intimately in New York.The first time he used the initials O.E.was when witness introduced him to the cashier of the Union Bank.Witness had paid mo at- testion to Murphy's jocular remarks about the note, as he always believed that Murphy had destroyed the note.He had considered Murphy as an honest man, and never believed that he would have taken advantage of that, He acknowledged that it was a very foolish thing for him to make the note, but he had only done it to amuse hime self, and looked upon the whole thing as à joke.Even when Murphy put the note in bis pocket he had never looked upon it seriously.Here Mr.Belleau asked, \u201cDo you know Bancroft?\u201d At this question Mr, Connolly, who all through the evidence wore a placid countenance, began to smile and while exchanging glances batweea his counsel and the cross-examiner, allowed the question to be put the second time be- lore he answered, \u201cNo, I do not.\u201d \u201cHave you not had some transactions with such a person 7\u2019 The witness was again moved by the question and then burst ous : \u201cI will explain all.\u201d Mr.Fitzpatrick objected to this question as being irrelevant, butthe objection was overruled and Mr.Connolly continued : \u201cAtthe time of the graving dock contract I put in a tender for the firm and another lower for Bancroft.I put up the necessary deposit of $20,000.This Taster happened to be tne lowest and Bancroft was to take it.I got a foreman in our employ to impersonate Bancroft and we completed the work.That is all the Bancroft story.\u201d After luncheon Michael briefly concluded his evidence.Martin Connolly was called, and swore that Murphy was always borrowing from the firm and always in debt to them, therefore it was absurd that they should give him a note for such an enormous amount, Mr.J, Lavergne, M, P.for Arthabaska, Was called to prove that the two last witnesses were not to ba believed on oath.Mr.Lavergne swore that their evidence before the Privileges and Elections Committee was utterly incredible, they having contradicted themeelves on oath.This case will probably last a week.ce LATE SPORTING NEWS, Coutinued From Page Two, Connolly N.A L.A.Meeting, A meeting of the council of the National

Exhibiting in Montreal \u2018WHERE ARE THE BREEDERS ?Why Not Form a Provinoe of Quebec Asso- ciation\u2014Record of the Trotting Stallion Allerton\u2014Saturday\u2019s Lacrosse and Foot- bell-Windles\u2019 Record is Correct\u2014To- ronto Lacrosse Club Incorporating.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Irving Montgomery is the strong man now exhibiting in this city under the name of Sandowe, while the original is performing feats of strength in England.Earle H.Eaton, writing of strong men, gives the storg and bas the following: To the man of ordinary or even more than ordinary strength, the feats per- iormed by some of the modern Samson\u2019s seem incredible, and one cannot refrain +rom doubting their genuineness.Thera are tricks in all trades, but while the strong men undoubtedly deceive the public in some respects they also give marvelous exhibitions of strength that are bona fide.One ot the most powerful men the world has ever seen is Louis Cyr, who was born near Montreal, of Alsatian parents, 27 years ago.Cyr lacks half an inch of being six feet tall, but he weighs over 300 pounds.He has long curly yellow hair, and when he performs his marvelous feats he must resemble Samson of old before Delilah treacherously bereft him of his strength giving name.Cyr\u2019s mother was very strong, and thought nothing of carrying a barrel of flour up several flights of stairs, Cyr never conridered himself very sirong until one day when he lifted a wagon load of brick out of a rut.Afcer that he concluded that his forte was de- fsing the laws of gravity.Cyr hes lifted 4000 pounds of pig iron with bis hands and back and without using barness.Snouldering a 300-pound barrel ot cement with ooe hand, lifting 516 rounds with one finger, balancing his wife upon bis chin and raising with his back a platform holding a 232-poand dumbbell and 20 men (aggregate weight 3337 pounds) are among his everyday feats.Eugene Sandow, the European champion, 1s a German athlete, as shapely as Apollo and as etrong as Hercules, He only weighs 202 pounds, but his phys- Jquu 8 lucguiücent.He is credited with Faving pu: up a 312-pound dumbbell with one bund, This performance is probably exaggerated, as Cyr's best sim- 1lar foat is with 265 pounds, and Sane dow has never approached Cyr\u2019s other ests.Sandow has an English double calling himself Sandowe, who is now exhibiting in America, and whose real name is Irving Montgomery.The latter handles heavy weights and breaks strong chains and straps with bis hands and by chest expansion with remarkable ease.His exhibition partner, Cyclops, is a giant who thinks nothing of running about with three big men and a 150-pound dumbbell], or of breaking a heavy iron ring by the contraction of his biceps.dsmson, the chain breaker, and Hercules, his brother, are botu_ very strong mer.They bail from Irsland and their real name is McCann.Hercules not long ego defeated Eugene Sandow in London, but he could not perform some of the Gar man\u2019s feate.Samson can break a silve dollar between bis thamb and forefinger, a feat, it is said, that but one other man living, the Czar of Russia, can perform.Samson breaks chains capable of sustaining 6,000 pounds, it is alleged, with his hands, bus there is a great deal of trick- £ry about chain breaking.Paris was recently asiounded by the feats of Apollon, u 25-year-old French® man, who weighs 250 pounds, and who «can lift three horees, hold 100 pounds out at erm\u2019s length, and play catch with a 160 pound weight, Kenredy holds the record for lifting 1030 pounds with both hands, and Se- Tastian Miller has also performed this feat, but less fairly.John Whitman, the modera Ajax, can raise 250 pounds with Lis teeth and prevent eight men from pulling a strap from his mouth, At teeth lifting Ajax has no equal.He has also pushed a 35,000-pound freight car which eight men could not move.Milo, the German champior, has also quite à record as an iron-jawed man, but not long ago Whitman defeated him for the world's championship.Fred Paulsen and Charles P.Blatt both have good records as chain and horseshoe breakers, For a slight man Edwin Checkley, the expert on athletic training, performs many remarkable feats, among them the lifting cf a 20C-pound man in each hand, \u2014 TURF.Win.Hendrle\u2019s Purchase, The only Canadian purchaser at the Belmont sale was Mr.Wm.Hendrie, of Hamilton, who secured the mare Genev- ra by imp.Australian\u2014imp.Genista by King Tom, for $650.Genevra has been bred to £t.Blaise.The grand total of the sale, Including the horses in training which were disposed of last December, amounted to $612,500.This beats the record, surpassing Lord Falmouth\u2019s sals in 1884, though the average is not so good, 79 head of Lord Falmouth\u2019s stock bringing $571,098.A Female Turf Writer.For nearly all the well written accounts which have appeared in the newspapers of happenings on tae kite shaped race track at Independence, Ia., the public is indebted to the bright pen of Miss Ada L.Tims, who enjoys the distinction of being the only newspaper woman in the world having the turf as an exclusive specialty.She ig a young woman of 20.From childbood she has been familiar with the irside workings of printing offices.In ber own sprightly way, she says: \u201cI always had an innate fondness for everything connected with a newspaper, from an air spring press to an em quad, from the mapaging editor to the devil,\u201d She did her first work on the Sioux City Journal, as Independence correspondent, beginning in June, 1889, With that paper as a start she added to her Jist the Chicago Tribune, Herald and others until she now has a list of fifteen of the leading dailies in the country.\u2018The present season she was made the representative of the Associated Press at Independence, : .Miss Tims is dashing without being, bold.She goes to the pool box, the À track, tbe hotel corridor, or wherever else her work calls her, with & womanliness that always commands rospect.While obliged to be versed in pedigrees and records from a business standpoint, she never indulges 1a * horse talk\u201d socially.As a writer she is bright aud clever.She can do a race with a breezy realism that all but reproduces for the reader the whirr of; the drivers\u2019 whips on the homestretch and the fast clatter of horses\u2019 hoofs as they come dashing under the wire.Loates Expresses His Opinion.Loates,\u201dthe English jockey, who is taking an enforced vacation, before leaving Americs, said: \u201cThe feature of racing in this csuntry whichstrikes me as being oddest is the trouble the starters have with tue jockeys.They appear to be natuial enemies and are always fighting.It iso\u2019t that way ia England.The rules governing jockeys are strict, and particularly in regard to their conduct at the post.If a man does not bring his mount up to the scratch in good shape he is warned that a repitition of bis conduct will throw him out of a job for the rest cf the meetiny.His re ord is closely watched, acd if be continues to make any bad breaks the starter or starters make a report of them to the stewards, and the jockey either emigrates or re tires from the business.He can\u2019t ride in England again.The jockeys and starters are therefore friendly and the former help tbe latter to get the horses away on even terms.It is no use to get much advantage on the start, because the flagman wor\u2019t have it that way.Its his business to see that the horses get away 1p a ling, or as near it as possible, and h3 comes pretty nigh doing 1t, too.\u201d Not Allowed to Ride.New York, Oct.21.\u2014Both Marty Bergen and J.Lumbley had made anamber of engagements to ride at Guttenburg today, but did not do so owing to an edict from John A.Morris, who on Thursday at Morris Park took it upon himself to act for the entire Board of Control on declaring that if either of those boys rode at Gattenburg while their present suspension was in force they would never get a license 28 long as he was a member of the Boaid of Control.When this became generally known at Guttenburg ttere was the greatest indigaation among all classes, and many poluted remarks were made.Sale of Thoroughbrads, , New York, Oct.21, \u2014 The thoroughbred bresding stud of Mr.L.J.Rass of Los Angeles, California, comprising the promising youg sire Argyle, and a num ber of highly bred mares, including several imported from Australia, was sold by Tattersalls of New York yesterday.Many well-known breeders, including Charles Reed, owner of the $100,000 St.Blaise; Pierre Lorillard of tha Rancocas Stud ; Milton Young, J.T.Megibban, Col.Clay and Wm.Schulte of Kentucky, J.E.McDonald.J.H.Shults & Son of Park- ville Farm, and John MacKey, representing J, B.Haggin of California, were present.The thirty-seven head brought $29,375, an average of $794.Mr.Rose, who was phenomenally successful as a breeder of trotters, established his thoroughbred stud three years ago, and tbe news that he intended selling out was a sarprise to nearly all who knrew him.He expected Argyle to bring $20,000 at least, but although the son of Monday is a superb, strong, welil- muscled thoroughbred, with a high reputation as a sire, considering his opportunities in the stud, bidding was very slow.Messrs.Lorillard, Terry and Schulte were the comienders, and Mr.Echulte, who is in the dry goods busi- ress in Louisville, secured the stallion for $5100, just $100 mor» than Mr, Rose paid for him before he had shown his ability to get such winuers as Fairy and Rinfax.Fhe brood mares in the main were cheap, some of the imported mares being rare bargains.We Have None in This Province.It is a remarkable thing and shows Jack of enterprise on tbe part of horsemen here,about that there 18 no Breeders\u2019 Association in this province.Throughout the United States, Province of Ontario and down east, where associations were years ago formed, they are flourishing, but in the meanwhile Quebec appears to be dead.What is required is a little energy oun the part of some of the big \u2019uns and once the matter is taken 1n band it will materialize.In tbe townships, wbere the stock can be found, the initiative should be taken and let them have the credit for forming the Province of Quebec Breeders\u2019 Association.TROTTING, The Hal Pointer-Direct Pacing Fight Not Yet Over, The Direct-Hal Pointer pacing fight is not yet over.The horses meet twice in the next two weeks at Nashville and Columbia, Tenn.Both towns have new and fast tracks, and both pacers are being keyed up for supreme efforts.A Lexington last Wednesday Direct worked three miles in 2:113, 2:104, 2:10}, with a half in 1:02, and two-quarters in 30 seconds.At Cambridge City, Iod., Direct was timed a quarter in 27} seconds, with ap eighth in 13 seconds, a 1:44 gait.The last eighth of the first heat in the Terre Haute race, which Direct won, was in 13} seconds.That eighth beat the Pointer, tho.The talk about trickery in that race was ciaptrap.Mr.Salisbury agreed to pace Direct on a good day and track.The goin: was heavy and soft.Itsuited Hal Pointer and not Direct.Mr.Salisbury says if Direct is beaten on a hard, em oth track the pacing beats record will be broken.Tbe record is Hal Pointer\u2019s Cleveland wile ia 2:10, 2.10}, 2:10}, There is a small knot of Chicago men who have seen both horsesgo who will match Direct on a smooth, dry track for $50,000 a side, ard they will do 1t on the opinion of the test jndge of a trotter or pacer in America.Jay-Eye-See\u2019s Owaer Ill, J.I.Case, the well-known horseman and manufacturer, owner of Phallas and Jay-Eye-See, is dangerously ill at his home in Racine, and his recovery is considered doubtful.He may hve some weeks and the end may be only a few hours off.Mr.Case owns breeding farms at Racine and Louisville, Ky.His bigh threshing machive plant employs 1500 men.He is estimated to be worth $2,000,000.Allerton\u2019s Record, A writer in the New York World gives the following about the great trotting stallion Allerton: Allerton, 2:09}, belongs to the lucky Iowan, C.W.Williams, of Independence.This man had, in 1885, two mares, both by Mambring THE MONTREAL HERALD THURSDAY OCTOBER 22 1891 Boy, named respectively Lou and Gussie Wilkes.Their sire had a record of 2:26}, and was by Mambrino Patchen, (a full brother of the famous old mare, Lady Thorne.2:18}) dam by Strader\u2019s C.M.Clay, jr., granddam by Berthune, thoroughbred.Mr.Williams thought he would get good resalts by breeding these mares to sons of George Wilkes, but not wishing his eggs in one basket, he bred Lou to William L., (full brother to Guy Wilkes, 2:15}) and the producs was Ax- tell; and bred Gussie Wilkes to Jay Bird, and the produce was Allerton.It is now ancient history how Williams drove Axtell to a record of 2:12 as a three-year-old, and then sold him to a Terre Haute syndicate for the enormous sum of $105,000, and kept Allerton, \u2018who 18 now worth mors money than Axtell This little breeding venture made him a 1ich man, and his luck has done à great deal to encourage breeding in a small way.Allerton was trotted out ia 1888 when a 2-year-old, and won several small stakes, but made no remarkable showing, his best mile being in 2:42%, and he failed in an effort to break 2:40, besides being distanced in 2:31.In his 3-year-old form he did astonishingly well,but was overshadowed by his stable companion, Axtell, and was beaten by Lady Bullion, Roderick Dhu and Tinker Still, be won several good races, and at Chicago, Aug.23, beat a pi:rty of aged horses, trotting the third and final heat in 2:18}, and impressing all who saw him with the fact that he was a hrs of bull-dog courage.In 189) he was beaten in contested races by Margare 8.and McDoel, but won one race in which he trotted a beat in 2:15}, and Nov.1, against time at Indianapolis, he owered bis record to 2:134.TLisseason he did not leave home until quite re- ently.He started at Indianapolis n a race against Nancy Haaks, n which he was a good second in every heat, and the time of the heats,2:12,2:124,2:13 shows that it was far and away the fastest race ever trotted.Allerton bas been occupied for the most part this season in trotting against time at Indianapolis, and his efforts culminated Sept.19 when he lowered his record to 2.09%.If should be borne in mind, however, that this track appears to be three or four seconds faster than the oval tracke, aud while his record is three-quarters of a second less than that of Nelson, the performance of the Maine horse must be fairlyconsidered superior.The question of supremacy between these two stallions was, however, definitely settled in the most satisfactory wat ner by bringing them togetier in a raceon Oct 8 over the same track at Grand Rapids, Mich,, where Nelson had trotted in 2.10.À great deal was at stake, more in raputation than ia money.Before the start Allerton was a slight favorite.Nelson had the pole, and a little advantage in the star, and led all the way to the finish in 2,13, but it was so apparent to observers that Allerton was going within himself that after losing this heat he became a much stronger favorite than before, The observations were correct, and Williams had no difficulty in driving his horse to victory in the next thrse heats in 2.144, 2.15 and 2.16} and fully establishing him in the place of premier trotting stallions of the world.Heis a dark brown in color, with white hind feet and ankles, and stands 153 bands.He is inbred to George Wilkes, his sire being a son of that horse and his grandsire being also by him.-\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE GUN, Au Importaut Trap-Shooting

Ottawa Cricket Club last epening, final arrangements were made for the reception of the English cricketers, who are to play here on Thureday, Friday and Saturday next, aod from the reports received everything in connection with their visit promises most favorably.The committee in charge of the dance to be given in the Russell oa Friday night bave been working like Trojans, and the affair will be, without doubt, most successful.A large wumber of in- vitatiors have already been issued and more are being sent out as f.st as the ap- blications are reseived.Owing to the short time at tbe uispcsal of the committee these invitatins have not been issued a8 rapidly as they would like, but they ask the citizens to make allowances for the amow t «f work in hand, and although some lave not yet been invitad, the delay is in no way to be considered a slight on the part of the club officials, Applications should be made to Mr.B, T.A.Bell, secretary of the Eastern Association ; Mr.C.F.Fox, secretary ot the Cricket Club, or to any other ot the committee.Mr.Bell, who has just retugned from Montreal, reports that over ous hundred ladies and gentlemen from that city have expressed their intention of attending the match and ball, and as arrangements have been made with the G.T.R.and CPR.Companies to ran excursions duringthbe game, a large number of strangers fre expected from Montreal, Kingston, Toronto and other points.A telegram was received from Lord Hawke last night saying that his team would be here early Thursdsy morning.They come straight from Toronto.The distin- guisbed visitors will be quarier.d at the Russell.In the despatch giving the names of the homs team, published this morning, the name of Mr.E.Turton wes inadvertently omitted, and the many friends of Ottawa\u2019s demon bowier will ba glad to see tha mistake corrected, as his presence on the team will greatly tand to make the game an interesting one.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE

firs} relay bicycle race ever held in America will take place on Saturday, Oct.31, from Hartford, Conn, to New York, Joseph Goodman, editor of The Cyclist of Hartford, Conn, is now in the city making arrangements for the race, The novel contest i8 the outgrowth of the military manceuvres ot the late operations of the Connecticat militia.Although the cyclists did good work in the manœavres 1t was thought advisable to see what they couid do in an emergency during a war, if the railroads and telegraphs were destroyed, as bearers of messages.The distance to be covered is 127 miles.1t is to be done in eight hour: which will necessitate a speed of 16 miles an hour over hill and dale.Two riders will be in each relay, so that in case of accidents to ove the other can make the connection.The relays will be stationed at every ten or twelve miles.As each local club along the route will fursish its two fastest men for participation considerable enthusiasm will be evokad along thie course, as each relay will try t2 make the best record.The race will be aq excellent test, as the road is hilly and difficult.The star: from Hartford will occur at 7 a m.Trial Against Time, In a trial against

343: Federal 1012 Editorial Rooms-Bell, 751, Feder al,i0 WEDNESDAY MORNING OCT 21 = THE COMING STATE ELECTIONS.Considerable interest and significance attaches to the State elections which are to take place in the United States in November, chiefly because of the exteat to which trade issues are involved, and also because the results will indicate the extent to which the Farmers\u2019 Alliance is likely to prove an influential factor in national politics.The influence of the Alliance will be exerted mainly 1n the \u2018Western, but also to some extent in the Middle and Southern States.There are, however, five States in which mcre than ordinary interest 18 attached to ihe contest about to take place bscause of their bearing upon the residential contest next year.These aie Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Obio and Iowa.Independent journals regard the contests in these S'ates as very important.Messechusetts is a Republican State, Lut i's clu-time Republican majority of 70,00, bas gradually dwindled until last year it elected » Democratic Governor, Mr.Ru:sell, by 10,000 majority, besides which tre Democrats captured several Congressional districts formerly held by the Republicans.Governor Rus- tell hss made an excellent record.His administration of the State Government has greatly strength ened him in the estimation of the elec- torale\u2014w hile giving satisfaction to the best elements of the Democratic party it bas practically disarmed his political cpponents, Tue Philadelphia Times claims that Massachusetts may now be fairly claimed as a doubtful State, and Foiuting to te fact that the son of \u201cWar Governor\u201d Andrew and a nephew of Senator Hoar are Democratic members of Congress, says \u201cit is not difficult to understand why the State is debatable.The yourg men of New England, and es- 1ecially the more intelligent and pro s1essive of them, have been steadily drifting away from Republicanism into the Den ocratic ranks, and that 1s why Governor Ruesel: was elected last year, and why his election 1s more than possible this year.\u201d New York has long been classed as a TDemccrat:cEtate, so far as the Governor and State officers are concerned, though tLe arrangements of electoral districts, till last year, generally gave the Republicans control of the State Legislature.This year the contest for Governor is doubtful, Indeed the Republicans are animated by the convie: tion that they can win.There is a revolt against Tammany\u2019s methods of political administration in New York and Brooklyn which is making itself folt throughout the State.Governor Hill has been especially subservient to the Tammany wing of the party, and Mr.Flower, the Democratic nominee for Gov- erncr, is a member of that organization.1Le Republican candidate is spoken of by independent journals as able, aggressive snd ropular and the outlook at present points to the election of a Republican Governor and possibly the election of the entire Republican State ticket.As our Philadelphia contemporary already quoted puts it: \u201cThe people of New York are fretful because of the political methods which rule the Stats, just as the Republicans of Pennsylvania are fretful over the methods which have brought this State to robkery and shame, While New York like Massachusetts may be regarded as doubtful, we regard the success of the Repnblicans a8 quite probable.\u201d Pennsylvania is an old-time Republican State\u2014*the Keystone State\u201d it was formerly called.Last year it elected a Demccratic Governor, the result of a wide-spread revolt against the political methods of Senator Quay, who long held the position of Republican \u201cboss\u201d in that State, To-day the State is not regarded as doubtful, but reasonably certain to vote Democratic by a decided majority, just as New York, a positive Democratic State, is reasonably certain to go Re- publicar.Not only has Governor Pat- tison made an excellent record as chief Executive of tbe State, but wholesale 1evelations cf peculation and dishonesty cn the ps1t of Republican State officials I ave thcrovoghly demorslized the Re- , utlicen jany managers and inspired the prepiv Wiu à Cetermination to throw «D corrupt #nd prolifically profligate rule 314 Open the door for thorough re- dum, does is WLY Yennaylvaniy s pretty certain to go Damocratic.Ohio is a Republican State, and though the Democrats have on several occasions elected a Governor, they have never been able to re-elect one, and that may be the case this year.The politicalaitu- atiod in tha.State is thus described by The Ptilade)phia Times: \u201cOhio is now desperately contested by two man who are corapicuous for ability, and both admittedly popular.The opposing candidates for Governor are the present Governor Campbell, and Congressman Mec- Kinley, the author of the McKinley Tariff, Both are able campaigners; both are thorougily clean, honest and progressive men, and either would make a highly creditable executive.McKinley has the advantage of an admitted party majority of some 20,000 in his favor, but tbere is little doubt that he would be defeated if Campbell had the united support of his own party.He made an heroic battle against the corrupt political control of Cinciouati, even to tha extent cf calling an extra secsion ofthe Lezislature to correct the abuse of power by his own par:y officials.Be thus offended all tue corrupt elements of the Democracy of Ohio, and is likely to suffer very largely by party defection, simply because of his integrity, He will gain corsiderably in the rural portions of the State on the Tariff issue, but it is now expected that Cincinnati and Cleveland will both give large Republican majorities, and thus assure the election of McKinley.Unless thsre shall be scme unexpected balt of the present apparent tide, it will be safe to assume thet McKioley will be the next Governor of Obio by 4 majority ranging from ten to fifteen thousand.\u201d Even if he should be defeated, tue large vote Campbell is certain to receive in the rural districts, on the tariff issue, will demonstrate the strength of the movement for tariff re- torm\u2014the sweeping away of the protective system and the adoption of a tariff for reyenue only, to which he has boldly and resolutely committed himself and bis party.His election, in spits of the apparent odds against him, would be regarded all over the Usion as a knockdown bl.w to the protection system.Until a few years ago Iowa was one of the strongest of the Republican States, but war tariff taxes, national profligacy, general Republican demoralization, combined with the prohibition issue, have practically had the effect of converting it into a doubtful State.Two years ago tLe Democrats elected the present Gove ernor Boies by several thousand majority, bat failed to elect any of the other State officers.Boies has made a thor~ oughly creditable administration, has been unanimously renominatad, and is stumping the State with a reasonable prospect of being his own successor.The strength of the Farmers\u2019 Alllance will bs demonstrated by the vote received by Governor Boies.He was elected by that element two years ago, and if he shall be re-elected it would clearly indicate that Iowa must be transferred from the Republican to the doubtful column,svan in national contests, That is the view taken by The Philadelphia Times, which concludes its review of the situation by paying of Iowa: \u201cWhile the State is admittedly doubtful, the chances seem in re-election of the Democratic Gove ernor.\u201d The people of Canada must necessarily feel somewhat interested in the results o° these State elections, because they will indicate, to some extent at least, the progress and force of the revolt against the high protection system which seems to be steadily gaining ground, of which wa have evidence in the fact that the Democrats have got beyond the idea of tariff reform on protection lines, and are now unequivocally committed againat protection in any shape, and in favor of a tariff for :evenue only.elf THE NEWS IS CONFIRMED that Dr.Montague, M.P,, for Haldimand, intends to settle permanently in British Columbia This means that he will not ran for Haldimand again.The riding has been badly gerrymandered, but when the seat is vacated the Liberals will be ready to work and win.fl THERE IS A CONSENSUS of agreement among Canadian papers that Mr.N.F.Davin can be persuaded to enter Mr.Abbott's reconstructed cabinet in order to save it from destruction, He is willing %o be the saving salt, so to speak, The only consideration he wants is a portfolio with salary attached.Whether his services are ayailed of or not we have no doubt his grateful countrymen will heartily appreciate his self-sacrificing spirit, THE POLICE AS SPIES, Those who have been entrusted with the command of bodies of men know how necessary it is to preserye the morale of their force, Discipline is an excellent thing, but, to make sure that it will not fail at the crucial moment, it must be founded on self-respect.This is as true in regard to civil police as it is in regard to the military.The policeman has well-defined duties to perform, and should not be asked, or required to go beyond them.If spies and informers are needed to suppress secret vice and crime, or detect violators of the license laws, for instance, special agents should be employed for these purposes.Human nature and the necessity for maintaining a proper morale in the police force are potent comsiderations for those in command.Whether the sentiment is rightly founded or not is beside the question, for there is an innate contempt among the mass of mankind for him who plays the part of a spy and takes upon himself the role of an informer.All the ablest and most experienced police captains deprecate the ides of requiring such service from or- cinsry constabler.It breaks down their puilertapect, sud by 80 Colug dusroys | posed to war.THE MONTREAL HERALU THURSUAY OCLfOBER 22 1891 the morale of the entire body.Msn with a sense of personal honor will not sneak up alleyways, peep through key holes, put their ears to shutters to fini out what private citizens are doing in their own houses.Laws requiring them to do so fail, and must always fail, for no gentleman at the head of a capable, solle respecting body of men will ask them t> do things of this kind whigh he would scorn to do himself.The conclusion is obvions.If Sunday liquor selling and similar offences against the law are to be discovered and punished, a license inspector and his staff are the men to d» it This is the true view of the question, and the gooner it is adopted aud acted upon, the sooner will the evils uf the kind relerred to be overcome.i THE PAMIR REGION.The growl of the Russian bear through a St.Petersburg newspaper with reler- ence to Pamir may be accepted, in a senee, u8 official, as novhing is published there without official permission or official inspiration.The threat recen'ly uttered has, therefore, a significance that would pot attach to anything emanating in the same way in other capitals of Furope.The immediate effect has been to tura all eyes towards Pamir, or, &s it is eometimes spelled, Pamear, and people are anxious to know something of the counuy.It is a very high apd mountainous table land sf Central Asia, known among Orientals as the roof of the world.It extends between Afghan- 1stan and the Chinese possession of East Torkestan.In shape it may be compared to a wedge, whose point to:ichas the British territory in Upper Cashmere.In configuration it is a stupenduous knot of motintains, from which radiate the great mountain chains of Asia.The altitude of the tableland is sixt:en thousand feet above the sea level, and trom this mountains tower to an altitude that dwarfs many of the most celebratad peaks of the world.The country is extremely cold, and from its eternal snows rivers take their rise which flow in different directions till they empty into tha ccean on three sides of the continent and the Caspian sea.Russian claims to have sovereignty over this rygion have never bien advanced till now, although it is said the Cossa:ks have roamed through its dreary defiles for the last ven years.They certainly could not have got there sooner.In reality it was a sort of No Man\u2019s Land, but could be made an aveuus for the descent of an army on Ivdia Its strategic position alone constitutes its importance, The question of sovereignty depends on whether it belongs to Afghanistan or Chinese T'urkestan.\u2014_\u2014 * He waO DRIVES fat oxen shouid himself be fat,\u201d says the ancient proverb.Applying it to oar own country in these days, we should say: if the people want honest government and sincerity 1n pub- Lic life, they must themselves be honest and sincere.Water will not rise higher than its head, and as in Canada government is according to the popular will, tue virtues and vices of the masses are the virtues and vices of the Government.The history of politics, indeed all history, goes to show that the character of the rulers is a reflection of the character of the ruled.Sparta was impregnable in its poverty ; Rome fell amid the accumulated treasures of a conquered worid.In some countries, when evil days cam?upon the people through internal corruption, there existed a saving remnant whose integrity preserved the national life and defended the liberties of the people.That we have such a saving remnant cannot be doubted, but is it ttrong enough in this Province and in the Dominion to rescue the country from the evils that have come upon it?\u2018Time will tell.tl ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF WAR.President Harrison's speech on war and arbitration before the Methodist Ecumenical Council was worthy of the chief magistrate of a great republic.The spirit of the age is undoubtedly op- Humanity is shocked at the idea of wholesale slaughter, and the practical good sense of Christian people condemns as the extremity of stupidity and brutal folly all attempts to settle international disputes by the sword and gun.But it is doubtful if war has ever settled international disputes.Ciyil wars have settled internal disputes between parties ju nations, but betweeh nations hardly ever, The nations of Europe haye been at war with each other for many centuries, and they may be said to be still at war, for the present ,eace is but a long exhausting truce.The higtory of those countries goes to prove that war produces war.At Waterloo France paid the penalty for Ler wars of conquest under Bonaparte, and at Sedan the older score, incurred by Louis XVI, was cancelled.The vision of universal peace, disarmament and arbitration, is fascinating to philanthropic minds, but is it practical?War is barbarous, so 18 the greater portion of the world and humamty.Universal peace is an Impossibility till all nations are thoroughly civilized, and the civil power becomes supreme over all governments.We must recognize the fact that though man has been a long time on this planet it is only a little while since he began to know what the world is like.Even in its mcst civilized places there are compara- itively few really civilized people.Want, vice, crime, would be unknown in a civ- lized country.War is characteristic of of a savage state of society, and no amount of superficial polish can efface the savagery of a warlike nation.We may applaud the President of the Great Repub- Jic when be speaks of the blessings of peace, but we are convinced all the same that there can te no such thing as peace \u2014L\\.rsal for many censuzies to Come, When ail the earth is cleared up, all mankind brought up to tbe standard of the best men, and government will cease, because no longer needed, to coerce people who will do right by na- taral impulse, then there wilt be no more war.Bat not till then.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-\u2014 HAMILTON SPECTATOR: The other offenders will be corralled in due course, and the Abbott Government will probably be able to make it thoroughly understood that the

Uurest\u2014The Lives of the People Utterly Mliserable\u2014Wby Missions Are Attacked, re New York Times.\"ON THE YANG-TSE RIVER.NEAR CuIN K1ANG, Sept.10.Imagine the Miss1ssippi thrice as large and ten times as dirty and yon have the Yang-tée.Theoretically it is a magnificent river; practically it is a deluge of thin, yellow mud, moving slowly through cozy marshlands to the ocean.It is hard to tell where the river leaves off and the land begins.1he resemblance is nct accidental, but bereditary.The great plains which constitute the granary of China were deposited by succes- give floods of the huge river.Wherever there i8 a cutting you see that the soil is made up of thin layers of mud, which have been left by retreatirg waters and dried into fine earth under the fierce .senjight.Tuere is very little beauty to the landscape.It is a huge meadow, which breaks bere and there into small hills On every bili is a walled city, some vil- jages of a few dozen houses, each tenans- ed by a score of poor agricultural labor -e18, &nd others vast citles like Chin Kiang, where a hundred thousand men can bo marskhaled in line at an hou\u2019 \u2018notice.There are numberless hamlets on the plairs and even the river's edge.Human life is so cheap that the prospect of an inundation or a landslide does not yrevent millions of people making their hicmes where in the interim they can grow enough food to keep body and soul together.Only day before yesterday a section of the river banks a half mile Jong and from 1010 200 feet wide, slid down into the water, carrying with it a hundred houses and shops and some five hundred huwan bsings.Many of the men swam back and saved their lives, but the rest were swept away.The calamity created no excitement nor commotion, and, in fact, bardly made food for comment, Land Immeasurably Rich, The fertility of the soil more than de- 8eryes its fame.lt grows from two to four crops a year, according to what is planted, and each crop is worthy of the \u2018wheat fields of Nebraska.An acre will support & Chinese family and £iva 8 surplus.Everywhere on the land are store houses filled with grain, and on the water junks and steamers carrying the vern ment has paid the money, sms $150,000 ard that thesoldiers have not receivad a Sirgie cash, It has been \u201csqueez-d\u201d by tbe vflicials.No Wonder There is Rioting.This is the district where there bas been little rio\u2018ing.The only wonder 0 any European in the East is that there is not rioting all the time.There ought to be more than rioting; there ought to be revolution.The Chinese Government, with charact:ristic wisdom, calls the riols \u201canti-missionary\u201d ang \u2018anti-foreign,\u201d end the press has baen led or Cajm'ed into treating the events in that ight.As a matter of fact the first statement is a deliberate untruth.Missionaries, far from being unpopular among the Chinese, are looked up to and treated with respect by the most zealous Buddhists and Mahomedans.There wes a riot in Wahu, in which a miesionary and Custom House officar lost their lives, but fanaticism did not enter the affair in any way.The real facts, which have not yet been pub- ished, are as follows : The missionary had been informed that the proprietor of an infamou brothel in the slums cf that city had a number of babies for sale, Although both the Chinese and European law pronounce the buying and selling of bables a crime, he determined to secure 88 many as he could and save them irom a hideous fate, These luckloss waifs, male and female alike, are sold and bought for the basest purposes.He went to Lhe establishment, bought out the entire stock, had them dosed with opium to prevent their crylog in the open air and then to cap tLe climax of his folly bad them packed like butcher's meat in butchers\u2019 baskets, a baby to a baske twelve inches in diameter and eigh inches deep.A basket was tied to either tnd of à bamboo pole and this, placed on 8 ccolie\u2019s shoulder, wastbe wav in which the four progeny of sin were tolbe carried under a blazing sun four eMiles from th slums to the missionary\u2019s house.Al went well for a mile, when one of the babies, pot sufficiently drugged with the opium, awoke and screamed from the azony cf its position.A crowd collected and forced open the basket despite the angry words and blows of the missionary and coolie, and the mome t they saw the child, a poor diceased wretch, their indignation knew no bounds.They killed tbe missionary and also a Custom House officer, who unluckily came to his aid.This was the worst of the so-called \u201canti- missionary riots of the Yang tse,\u201d Under the same circumstances the parties involved would have bad a shorter shrift in any city of Christendom.Why Missions are Attacked, But why, it will probably be asked.hsve the rioters picked ont the residences of missionaries and foreigners for destruction if the riots are not anti-mis- Slonary in character?The explanation is very simple.Thev dara not atlack the yamens of the mandarins, for these are well guarded.They could aud for- erly did sack and burn the establishments of the merchants and tradesmen.In these cases the mews of the outrage seldom reaches the seat of Government at Peking, and when it does 1t is go dlg- torted by the officials that little or nothing is ever done by the highest authorities.But wnen a foreigner\u2019s property is injured his Consul immediately appeals to his Minister, and he as promptly demands restitution from the Tzung-li-Yamen, or Iwperial Cabinet.An indemnity is decreed against the district where the outrage occurred, and the officials of that district are dismissed and dishonored.Thus, for example, rioting occurred in Tan-Yang and Kiang- Yin in the second week of May and, three months afterwards to a day several of the greediest officials had been cashiered the imperial service, and those who were allowed to retain office were required to pay the indemnities, $12,000 in the former and $9000 in the latter city.Timely Waraing, In every instance the mob have given friendly warning to the issionaries and foreigners weeks and months in advance, not once but a dozen times.It has been ors} and written, and always to this effect, \u201cWe are going to destroy your property to get even with our wicked officials, We do not wish to hurt you in any way.You will lose nothing, as you will get by indemuity, which they will be compelled to pay, two dollars for every one you lose.So please move away next week, and do not come for 60 days.\u201d This breathes much fire and fury against missionaries, doesn\u2019t it?Yet this hus been the course of the rioters in every instance.Sensible gentlemen of the gospel took the hint gracicusly, went to Shanghai, had a happy time and are now about to receive a handsome dividend for their trouble.The rule pursued by the ministers is that the indemnity shall be punitive rather than compensatory.Thus the Chinese officials are obliged to pay $50 for a $10 bed and $100 for a worn-out suit of clothes not worth $5.; And yet these riots are \u201canti-foreign\u2019, riots, but not in the sense wherein that phrase is usually employed.At the present moment the Chinese Government 18 as foreign to the people as when the Manchu Tartare conquered the ems pire 300 years ago.The term \u201cforeign devils\u201d is applied five times to officials where it is once to a European.At the \u201cforeign devils\u201d who govern and not those who come from other lands gre the populace addressing thetr insurrec- tionary movements.The Government knows its darger only tos well.The same thing occurred years ago and every official would have been swept into the sea bad it mot been fir European rifles and revolvers, General Ward, Chinese Gordon, and other Imercenariesg and hired cut-throats bought by the authorities at Pekin with the fabulous wealth stolen from the people.The Government and the Powers, The same mcvement 18 going on now.Tbe Chinese Government is wiser than before.It calls the first steps of the revolution \u201canti-missionary\u201d rio's and invites the great powers to aidin punishing the rebels and Frotecting their own countrymen.The powers fall into the trap and the Mongolian statesman revels in the sight of a magnificent navy, with marines and soldiers, true as steel and far braver thar his own raw levies, patrolling the Yang-tse and protecting nearly every coast city, which costs him nothing, will never betray him and will keep him on his thr ne, where otherwise he would be depcsed and beheaded inno time.Itcannot last forever, The rin\u2018s will continue and spread from province to province.The time will arrive when the indemnities will not be paid and then the empire will be dismembered and divided up among the European nations.This is what the revolutionary leaders are striving for and it will he à 1ed-let'er day in the calendar of civiliza- ion when they succeed.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Freckles, Freckles, eruptions, sunburn aad all Spots of the gkin which resist the action of toilet Vinegars disappear rapidly

THIRTY MILLION PEOPLE IN DANGER OF STARVATION.Ocly a Falut Idea of the Calamity Can Be Got from the Figures Presented\u2014 Ignorance aad Fatalism, \u2014_\u2014 New York Tribune.The great famine in Ireland was a Scourge upon part of a people of five or 8ix millions.The present famine in Russia is starvation for five or six times five or six millions.These figures give some faint idea of the magnitude of the calamity.Government officials report, Dot on rough estimate, bat after careful investigation, that more than 32,000,000 people in European Russia are at this moment in danger of sctral starvation : a danger that can be averted only by extraneous aid.It is as though half the people of the United States were abso- lately destitute, having not a week's fopd in hand, and not a dollar to procure at With.Such a situation is without comparable precedent in modern history.That it is not only possible, but it is an actual fact, suggests some extraordinary considerations regarding the social and industrial economy of the empire and the responsibilities of the \u201c\u2018paternal\u201d Government.It is no anomaly, and it seems ine xcusable, that such a famine Should coms to such a country, and it is only to Le accounted for by some reason ouiside of the ordinary processes of nature.In a vague eort of way Russia is thought of as a huge country, not thickly settled, and largely composed of wild forests and untilled plains.Ba this conception of it is far from the truth.Some one bas called the Volga River te Missisippi of Russia, and the name is Not inaptly given.Just as aptly the whole of Southern Russia might be compared with the basin of the Mississippi, It has not its railroads and other high- Ways, its progress, intelligence and civilization.Buti\u2018 has its teeming population, its soil of 1nexhaustible richne 18,its abundant harvests, and, in the rough, all Its vast potentiality of prosperous pro- düction.Nature has done her best,and if the country has not come up tothe standard of nature, the blame mast be laid elsewhere.The whole region is \u201cfitted, not for starvation, but for feeding the world.The fact is that tha great farming regions of Southern Russia are comparable only with thoss of the Western United States in extent and fertility.In the Don Cossack couatry oue may ride for miles across a single farm, cr ranche, as the American would callit.Wheat fislds of 20,000 acres in ons unbroken expanse are not uncommon.And the live stock is correspondingly numerous.On a Consack estate one may find many hundreds of horses, fine blooded animals; tue droves of kiae are past all numbering; and to have 1,000,000 sheep on a single pasture is not deemed extraordinary.The yield par acre from these grain fields compares not unfavorably with that in Dakota and California.If the land were tilled as 1r- telligently as in America 1t would be fully cs productive.And the forage grasses of the pasture plains are as rich and abundant as any in tae world, The blight of all this splendid razion may be described in two words : Igno- 1t is the policy of tlie Czar\u2019s Government to keop the people ignorant.Never since teaching slaves to read was a penal offsnce in the Southern United States Las there been Such & systematic and relentless suppression of popular intelligence as in Kus sia to-day.The principle on which the Government acts is to make education proportionate to wealth, The result is, of Course, thut the masses of the peo- pie who bave no property are denied ali priviieges of instruction.Bo the peasantry in what would be the garden of all Europe are 2lmost as stupid as the clods iliey tread upon, and as lost to modern progress #8 the denizens of mid-Africa.Amid these boundless wheat fields one sees them driving in primitive carts, such 88 were used in the time of Peter tbe Great.In their homes they have no more of comfort or refinement than the Sioux in a Montana tepes.Nor cas fatatism be found, more hopeless and more banefulin Stambont itself than among the Russian p:ople.Whatever evil fall upon them tney ery, \u201cIt is the will of God!\u201d and they go straight on in the old way, inviting an § insuring a recurrence of the self-same evil, Such a thing as learnine from experlence is ut- turly unknown.The single instance of fires will show the deadly extent of this trait.Fire is the perennial curse of Russ1a.The villages are all made of wood, apd all the houses are so connected that à fire in one is almost certan to sweep away tha whole village.There are large towns that have for generations been totally destroyed every few years.One bouse catches fir, and'the whole town goes, like a row ot tumb- ling-blccks.The people rush into the street, ring the bells, bewail their loss, and cry, \u201cIt is God\u2019s will!\u201d When tha fire bas burned 1tself out they rebuil 1 the town.But one could as wel] par= suade water to flow up bill as to get ttem to take precautions against fuiure confiagrations by building houses detached from each other, or of less cor- bustible material than wood and raw.tis the will ot Ged, they think, that the town shall be periodically consumec.So, 1f t?rough their own 8 npidity or negleat any otber calamity befall them, it is the willof God.Nay, the status quo 18 1tself the will of God.If God wanted them to have good roads, He would provide them ; for men to alter what God has given them is impiety.And so they hug their ipnorauce and squalor to their hearts, and the fires, aud the fl rods, and the famine, and content themselves with repeating the parrot-cry *It1s the will of Gad!\u201d And so it comes to pass, as Scitykoff has said, that the Russian pessant wears boots of bast instead of leather, does not even know what & bed is, uever ea sg meat or butter, but plods on as stupidly and as hopelesslv as his oxsn.© They Come into the worid like insects, and die like summer flies.\u201d Wretcoed as he is, tbe Russian peasant is so hardegen, s, callous, that he scarcely seems to realize his condition.Only she most extrème provccation can abuse his Epirit.A few weeks ago, the sight of thousands of bushels of grain being shipped out of the country did madden him, and there was a wild outbreak of wrath.But even that bas now subs\u2018ded.The cry was raised that it was the Jewish speculators who were exporting grain, and so the wrath of the populace was deftly iurned upon the much-suffering Children of Israel, The truth is thatno Jews were concerned in the grain shipments at all, The spac- ulators were, every one of them, Orthodox Greek Christians.| The only available food of some mil- 1 Lous of people is now what lgcaled \u2014\u2014\u2014me \u201chunger bread.\u201d The only ingredient of this that bears any relation to proper food consists of will sweepings and mill- yard scrapings.The latter is sim ply the upper layer of the ground surrounding the mill.\u201d It contains, of course, a certain percantage of flour and grain that has been trampled into tue soil, but which has become almost entirely rotten.The remainder of ths \u201chunger loaf\u201d is made up of the bark of trees, moss, and the leaves and rools of various weeds.Even for this vile staff the starving people have to pay more than the usual price of wholesome bread.How wtiolesome the \u201chunger loaf\u2019 is way be imagined from the fact that farmers will not feed tte mill sweepings \u2014its best ingredient\u2014to their cattle, because, as they eay, it causes spasms and bloating and fatal diseases and does not even temporarily satisfy tbe cravings of hunger.And y:t that is the only food that is being put into millions of humag Stomacks.Worse than this, in many places this \u201chunger food\u201d is made en- tiresy without a trace of grain, its cam- ponent parts being bark, chopped straw, pig-weed and the powderad excremen: of cattle, This is the only food of mil- liors, There is much talk about the benevolent efforts of the Government and the nobility.Various wealthy people, pro- vincia! governors and others, have \u201chan- ger-bread placed on their tables every day.That is to say, they have loaves of coarse black bread, made of ground peas, bark, ete, ostentatiously displayed ou platters of fine china.And while they are eating the choicest of white bread, they look curiously at the loathsome Lleck mass, and say, \u201cThat's the sur the reasants bave to eat!\u201d The army offcers lere have stopped drinking champagne and a great flourish of tram- pets is made over the fact.Bat they bave merely substituted otber wines, equally costly.In fact, there is in St Petersburg society little indication of real sympathy with the starving myriads of the provinces.It is true that the Governmert is giving millions of roubles to relieve the distress.It is a'so unhappily true that gross scandals have already arisen concerning tha distriba- tion of this fund, several cases of wholesale fraud having cccurred.Mcreover, whiie t} e Government gives with one hand it smites with the other.The tax-gathers are uncommocly husy in the famine-stricken provinces.They demand from people wgo are accuaily dying of hunger the full payment of al] taxes.Ifthe demand is not immediately complied with, the knout is broug=t into requisition.And thea the last poor remains of the delinqusnt\u2019s property ara confiscated.In one village, for exainple, the tax-gatherers seized every caicken that Was to be found, some 300 in all.The Russian papers themselves report there things.Accordiog to The Nedelya, in one place, where tlie people were exceptionally destitate, confiscation of all property was not sufficient t2 cover the taxes.So the collector had fifty of the people severely flogged with the krout and sent to prison.Then he reported to tbe Government what be had done.À tew days afterward he was himself arrested and lccked up.Why?\u201cFor lack of zeal!\u201d That is to eay, he did not flog enough people, or did not flog thom severely enough.In à month or six weeks at most, it is calculated, the wretched resources of \u201cbunger-food\u201d even will be exhaustad, ard the famine will reach its culmination.The case is unspeakably tercible now.What it wil be thea doles imagination, \u2019 McNally House, gentral, clean and quiet, 742 Lagau-

colonies the Spaniards begin by building a church; the, French, a ballroom; the English, a tavern, The fo:lowing anecdote is sometimes given as illustrating the difference in character between John Bull and hls Galiie neighbor: \u201cAn Englishman and 4 Frenchman were travelling together in à diligence, and both were smoking.Monsizur did all in his powor to draw his phlegmatic fe'low-passenger into conversation, but to no purpose.At last, with & auperabundance of politeness, Le apologised for drawing his attention to the fact that the ash of his cigar had fallen on his waistcoat, and that a spark was endangering his neckerchief, The Englishman, now thoroughly aroused, exclaimed : \u201cWhy the d\u2014\u2014 can\u2019t you let me alone ?Your coat tail has been on fire for the last ten minutes, but I didn\u2019t bother you about it.\u201d In the words of Humerton this difference has been well summed up: An Englishman ig pleasant because he is not noisy, not troublesome, not obtrusive, not contradiciory, and because he has the tact to avoid conversational pitfalls and precipices.The Frenchman is agreeable because he is lively, is amusing, is amiable, is successful in the battle against dullness, and wall take tronble to make conversation interes:ing.The following story may, I think, be not inappropriately placed under the above heading, as 1t certainly character- iges the Englishman, the Scotchman and the Irishman: When an Englishman gets out of a railway train he immediately goes about his business.A Scotchman under the same circumstances looks behind to see if has forgotten anything; while an Irishman glances round\u2019 to see if anybody else has left anything behind.\u2014Newcastle Chronicle (Kng.} \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 Dyspepsia in its worst forms

day evening atthe Bonaventure Depot, George seems to have had a good day of it, and at all events had raised sufficient \u2018funds to get drunk, noisy, and what was worse, insulting.In plying his vocation he met with a lady passenger at the depot, and because she did not come up to his standard of liberality, he commenced to abuse her in language that soon attracted the attention of the officials and police, who proceeded at once to remove him from the depot.George was too full of fighting whisky to yield quietly, and go violent was his resistance that it took four strong policemen to remove him, crutches and all, to No.6 Police Station, where he kept things lively till a late bour.At 11 p.m.when viewed by a Herald reporter, George was still full of \u201cgo,\u201d and looked more l:ke a newly- caged wild man of the woods than anything else.He will appear before his superiors this morning to receive a les son in good behavior.St.Ann\u2019s Big Fair, A very well organized

woul « willingly retrace their steps rather than be pummeled to death in their desire to patronize a good cause.On the opening night of the fair, the plan already alluded to] was adopted with eminent success, ets An Average For Sixteen Years, In the annual report of the superintendent of the Montreal water works for 1890, Mr.McConnell shows the comparative cost of raising 1,000,000 gallons of

London at the Surrey, and has been twice revived in Australia.This ie its third season in America, but first visit to Moutreal.The company comes direct from the Grand Opera House, New York, and brings a car load of scenery ; nothing of the Queen's Theatre scepery 18 used.The twelve scenes used to illustrate \u201cMy Jack\u201d were paiat- ed by the late Matt Morgan, America\u2019s greatest scenic artist.A notable feature is the weird and and African desert of the fourth act.The lifeboat used in tha storm scene of the first act hasseen actnal service at Sandy Hook, N.J.It was 80 badly straiced

attraction comes to the Royal next week.The Boston Globe says: Alarge and enthusiastic audience saw the first production of \u201cDevils Mine\u201d last night.It is a lusty and cleverly constructed western drama, with plenty of power and many highly dramatic situations, together with much other matter that proved pleasing both to the eye and the ear.Though not baing able to lay claim to great originality, it is a thoroughly satisfactory all-round performance, in every way worthy of the gratifving reception it received.The story is interesting and vigorously written, the characters thoroughly contrasted and admirably drawn, the whole presenting an ensemble filled with the color and charm, the manly honesty and rugged heartiness of the crude and cordial Westerner, a8 seen on his native heath, Every scene of the play has something to cause hearty laughter or deafening applause, and keeps the audience as busy acknowledging the hits as the actors are making them.\u2018

recorder fined bim $25 or six months, and as he lacked the necessary \u201clong greens\u201d he took the six months, Willlam White was drunk and had a little gun- gun-gun.A copper saw little Willie

the Clergy, \u201cWhat do you Orangemen think of the recent attempt of Mr.Chapleau to gag the Protestant clergy 7?\u201d asked a Herald reporter of a well known Orange magnate who is likewise a strong Conservative and one who shouted lond and luatily for \u201cthe old flag\u201d at the last election.\u201cYou want to publish my opinion, do Fou ?\u201d was the answer.\u201cWell, I do not mind your doing Bo.Mr.Chapleau made a big mistake, but he doubtless meant what he said.While 8ir John was alive we supported him almost to a man, because we found him willing to do the square thing by all.But nuw things are different.Mr.Chap leau\u2019s speech is calculated to give an 1dea of how matters will go if he has any power.When he attempts to silence tue Protestant clergy he reckons without his host.To silence the clergy he must tramp on the necks of 300,000 Orangemen in Canade, most of whom are at present strong supporters of the Government.\u201d \u201cWhat do you think of his chances of being appointed to the position of Minister of Railways and Canals ?\u201d \u201cln my opinion be will never get it.If he does there will be arow.Speaking for myself I have no hesitation in saying that it Mr.Abbott rewards the man who attacked the Prolestant clergy, the Conservative party Will never get my vote or my support, and 1 know of hundreds who think the same way.\u201d \u201cDo you think N.Clarke Wallace,your grand master, will be taken into the Cabinet?\u201d queried the r porter.\u201cI certainly do.But if the Premier thinks to \u201cfix\u201d the Orange vote by so doing, he iy greatly mistaken.While we consider it a great honor to have our grand master in the Cabinet, we do not feel like selling our principles as the price of that honor.Then, again, that novely is wearing off.We put Mr.Mec- Kenzie Bowell there and for that reason thousands of Orangemen throughout the Dominion fought for the Conservative Government.But you know how hestood upin the last Parliamentand unblushingly stated that he was in the Cabinet because of his ability, and not because of Orange influence.Ability! If N.Clarke Waliace is taken into the Cabinet I aup- pote, in time, he will state the same thing.Wallace is a friend of mine.I believe he is a good and true Orange- man, but at the same time I must be candid and say I fail to see where his great ability lies.No; his pul), if he has any, lies in his position as grand master ot tbe Orange order.Itis as good as settled now that Mr.Wallace will be in the new Cabinet and will likely take the portfolio of Minister of Customs.\u201d \u201cDoes it not seem a little inconsistent for the people, with all your pretentions of loyalty to the British Crown, to support a Government with an alleged an- nexationist at its head ?\u201d \u201cIf you refer to Mr.Abbott, I have only to say that there are mot half a dozen Orangemen in Canada who approve of his being Prime Minister.Our organ, The Sentinel, has spoken out afrongly on that question, and if the Conservative party wish to retain the sopport of the Orange- men they must chose another Premier.Mr.Abbott does not meet the views of the Orange party in many particulars, That he played an important part in the first annexation movement in this country is beyond a doubt, and that is in itself a sufficient reason why we cannot support him and be consistent.Then again, he is a renegade Orangeman.| There was a time when the order in Montreal had considerable political and social influence, Atthattime Mr.Abbott joined a city lodge and took an active part.When he found it did not pay him he turned round and went fishing im other waters.A man who does that is not to be trusted and it puzzles me to know why the French Catholics support him, As far as his obligation goes he is always an Orangeman.His record also in the Facific Scandal is not such as angels usually smile upon.Summing the man up ali round, I have come to the conclusion that I cannot and will not support him.\u201d \u201cWho do you think, then, will likely be Premier?\u201d \u201cWell, there is Some talk of Mr.Meredith runningfor the Dominion Parliament.He can get a constituency any day in Ontario and there is no doubt he would prove a good man.Dalton Me- Carthy is algo a good man and the Con- gervatives of Ontario would stand by him to a man, He is looked upon as a firebrand by some, bat it must be acknowledged that he is consistent and has a clean record.But I think Meredith will be the man.\u201d \u201cComing to a squeeze, you Orangemen, can be relied upon to support any man before accepting Mr.Laurier?\u201d \u201cYoung map, that's where you make # mistake.If there is anything we admire it is a consistent mao, and I can tell you right bere and you can say it in The Herald, that Mr.Laurier is held in the highrat esteem by us.We admire his clean record, his pure character and bis cunsistent course.I am sorry I cannot say the same about Mr.Abbott or Mr.Chapleau.Mr.Laurier's enemies are not among the Orangemen.À consistent Roman Catholic is to be prefarred any day to any turncoat Orangeman.\u201d tts.A BOOK OF ETIQUETTE.A Work in Manuscript in the Ambrosian Library at Milan, It is extremely interesting to turn over the pages of a book of a period as early as the thirteenth century which was penned with the object of giving instruction upon points of etiquette.Such a work, in manuscript, lies among the priceless treasures in the Ambrosian Library at Milan, and is entitl-d \u201cDe Quinquaginta Curialitatibus ad Pensam,\u201d It may be said to be the father of buoks of etiquette.It is somewhat strange to find that a manual of etiquette existed in a period so far removed from the days in which polite society donned powdered wigs, wore red heels and black patches, and spoke im pastorals.We expect to reap a harvest of entertaining court manuals from an artificial age when majesties played at being shep- berds and shepherdesses, and when whole courts, armed with ribboned crooke, flocked to mimic Arcadias, but in such an age as the thirteenth century books of etiquette are rare.The quaint little manuscript volume of Monkish days was written by one Fra Bonvesin, who strives to impress upon his readers the utmost importance of being well-bred and refined.Cleanlicess is next to godliness in his code of morals; he admonishes one before eating to wash a THE MONTREAL HERALD THURSDAY OCTOBER $3 1891 one\u2019s hands, and to wash them elezant.ly.\u201cDo not,\u201d we are told, \u201cbe in too great a hurry to take your seat at table before being invited; if you should find Your place occupied, make no distarb- ale about the matter, but politely yield.\u201d Once seated, one is, above all, warned not to omit to ssy grace.\u201cIt is, to the extreme, gluttonous and vile, and showing great contempt to tue Lord, to think of eating before having asked his bleesing.\u201d Grace having been satisfactorily said, one is enjoined to sit decently at table, not with iega crossed, nor elbows on the board.\u201cDo not,\u201d continuss the monk, \u201cfill your mouth too fall; the glutton who fills his mouth will not be able to reply when spoken to.\u201d One is further recommended, whea eating, to speak little, for when the mouth is open, in the fable of tha fox and the crow, one\u2019s food is apt to drop.Bome cautions advice is proferred with reference to the manner in which one is to drink.\u201cWhen thirsty swallow your food before drinking.Do not dirty the cup in drinking; take it firmly wih both hands, so as not to spill the wine.If not wisbing to drink, and your neighbor has dirtied the cup, wipe it before passing it on.\u201d It will be noticed that the cup is by no means a small one to be requir-d to be held \u201cfirmly with both hands,\u201d and the further advice must certainly have been seasonable, to beware of taking too much wine, even if it be goed, \u201ctor he offends trebly that does so ; agaiust his body and his soal, while the wine he consumes is wasted.\u201d If anybody arrives late during the progres sof the meal, one is advised not to riss, but to continue eating.The sixteenth \u201ccourtesy\u201d is particularly interest~ ing to those exasperating persons who cannot sup their soup without as- tuming tbe most uncouth and ungainly attitudes, and emitting the most unpleasant and barbarous noises.These persons are adviseu notto \u2018\u2019swallow their spoons,\u201d while they are farther admonished, if conscious of this dis.agreable habit to speedily correct themselves, aud also to avoid eating their food with a noise as of munching or gobbling.\u201cIf you should sneeze or cough, cover your mouth, and above all torn away from the table.\u201d Do not, one ie urged, criticise the dishes, or say, \u201cThis is badiy cooked, or too salt.It you should happen to see anytning in the food which is disagreeable, do not refer to it ; if ic is a fly or other matter, say nothing aboutit.\u201d This is excellent advice for those who loved to grace the festive board in the land of ants and cockroaches.You are to attend to your own plate, and not to the plates of others, casting the beam, as it were, out of your own eye before glancing at the mote in your neighbor's eye.If with ladies, however, one 18 told to carve first for them; \u201cto them the men should do honor\u201d Fra Bonvesin is particular in requesting his reader to have a care as to what he pats on his plate at one and the same time, and not to mix together all sorts of viands, meat and eggs.\u201cIt may,\u201d considerately adds the writer, \u201cdisgust your neighbor.\u201d \u201cDo not soak your bread in wine,\u201d and the monk gives a caution to any of his friends whom it may concern, \u201cif anyone should dine with me, and thus fish up his victuals, I should not like it.\u201d \u201cDo you eat coarsely or valgar- ly; and if you have to share your bread with anyoue, cut it neatly if you do not wish to be thought ill-mannered.Always remember if a friend be dining with one to help him to the choicest viands.When dining with any great man, cease eating while he 18 drinking, and do not drink atthe same time as he; when sitting next to a bishop, do not, however, drink till he drinks, nor rise till he rises.\u201d The next piece of advice would seem more properly addressed to the host than to the guest.Those who serve at table are to be clean, and \u2018let the servants be free from any smell which might give a nausea to those eating.\u201d Our thoughts are carried by this admonition to Stripes, the servant of Major Ponto, whose waiting at table is thus described by the author of the \u2018Book of Snobs\u2019 ;\u2014\u201cThe honest fellow\u2019s ybands were very large and black; and a fine odour of the stable was wafted about the room as he moved to and fro in his ad- mipigtration.\u201d The scrupulous inonk adds nothing about the guests; one might have expected him to express an opinion as to the perfume which was permissible, and to warn the \u2018\u201cbourgeoisie\u201d from using any bot recognised fashionable scents.He might have given vent to his feelings as does the poet Campbell when he says: I cannot talk with eivet in the room, A fine puss-gentleman that\u2019s all perfume, A good hint 18 given by the observant ecclesiastic on & very unpleasant habit which has lingered on almost to the present day.The guest is not to wipe his fingers on the table-cloth.\u201cLet the hands be clean, and above all,\u201d says he, \u201cdo not at table scratch your head, nor indeed any portion of your body.Do not, while eating, fondle doge or cats or other pets ; it is not right to touch animals with hands which touch the food.\u201d Another extremely vulgar habit is prohibited by the mandate.\u2018Do not, when eating, pick your teeth with the fingers.Do not,\u201d he continues, \u201click your fingers, which is very ugly and ill-bred, for ting- ers which Are greasy ere not clean, but irty.Fra Bonvesin, as behoves a good and conscientious monk, gives excellent advice with reference to the tone that the conversation at dinner is to take.Having already mentioned that to speak properly one\u2019s mouth must of necessity not be filled with food, he goes on to lay down the laws of polite and entertaining conversation.\u201cDo not,\u201d one is thoughtfully reminded, \u201ctrouble your neighbor with questions; if you require anything from bim, wait till he has fimshed eating.Do not,\u201d he adds, \u201ctell at table doleful tales, nor eat with a morose or melancholy air, but take care your words are cheery.When at table avoid wrangling and noisy disputes; but if anyone should tranggress in this manner pass it over till later\u2014do not make a dig- turbance.\u201d .The Lombard monk next gives his advice with reference to the appurtenances of the table.\u201cIn handling your bowl or plate at table,\u201d says he, \u201cplace your thumb only on the edge.\u201d Each guest in the days of the writer, it will be remembered, was supposed to bring with him to the banquet his own knife and spoon; forks, though known from a very early time, not being used generally until comparatively recent days.Quaint cases were made for the two or three knives and spoons that the diner out in days of yore provided himself with.These leathern cages with their silver or their goid mountings, and their ancient en gravery, may now be found on the shelves of the curio collector, or among the collection of relics of the past in the museum.The monk advises his audience not to be too ostentatious, \u201cDonot bring with you to table,\u201d says he, \u201ctoo many knives and spoons, there is a mean.\u201d That golden mean is the keynote of the whole of his remarks, and governs those precepts which he has laid down in his book, a work written to correct the errors of a time when the old aristocracy was beginning to give way before the new and rapidly increasing current of wealth holding plebeians, who at this time were endeavoring tyemulate the soca! refinements of their high born contemporartes.» ee PEOPLE I HAVA MET.Mary S, Hancock Gives Her Impressions of the Hobbyist.A Hobby is the salvation of the person who takes it up.It affords aa outlet for spare emergency and unappropriated hours, and is a wholesome means of letting off the superfluous steam generated by active brains and natures.I suppose we have all gone through the various forms of crazes which we are pleased to call hobbies.Through their inssrumen- tality we get a Lubbock, who tells ss more about bees than we could hope to find ous by ourselves; we get a Buckland who chats away about sharks, and snakes, and other small deer in instructive and wholesale fashion, very dead to old ss well as to young people; and we get also such men a8 Wood, and Jeffries, besides a hostcf others, who reveal to our wondering minds, another world, every whit as interesting as our own, if cn a smaller £cale, \u2018We, ourselves, confess to having bean ten with the same mania.You, dear boy, have your hobby, have you not?ever mind if it be only stamps.Stam are curious, and,possibly to some minds, i teresting.Wo do not all think alike, d we?Some of us have \u201ccollections\u201d as caricus 8s Jovoes\u2019s, any day.There i for instance, the young lady who goes for crests.What a rare show she akes with her album! Upon my word, it 18 both gorgeous and beautitul, and i tructive too, in its way.Read the mottoes underneath the rampant lion, or the dogs, or the yriffins, and you will discover the noble thoughts that animated and actuated the men of those bygone days, whom we are apt to treat as vastly inferior to ourselver.Only the other day I myself became the proud possessor of 8 wonderful book of autographs.It came to me in a remarkable way, and L value it, because\u2014 for one tning\u2014there I find a page oat of Carlyle\u2019s M.S.of the \u201cFrench Revolution\u201d\u2019\u201d\u2014also, a letter of Mrs.Sigourney\u2019s inviung Thomas Carlyle and his wife to a friendly \u201cdish of tea;\u201d and telling him at the end, that she \u201ctnought well\u201d of his \u201cHeroes, and Hero-worsbipl\u201d Happy Mrs.Sigourney! Happy aze in whicu to find oneself alive! Besides these, I have a scrap of Gordon\u2019s in which he says that he has tried to do his duty; a letter of Father Mathew; another of Cardinal Wiseman\u2019s; and a host of autographs belonging to interesting, but more modern, personages.Therefore, with these in my possession, and the consciousness that I shall add to them on every possible occasion, I am not likely to sneer at the collectors of ane more or less valuable articles, Queer things -some people do value, though, do they not?The man dies, and his death reveals the fact that he has possessed a rare and extremely valuable collection of\u2014snuif-boxes, There they are, brought to the hammer; lovely things, encrusted with diamonds, and enriched by dainty miniatures; grotesque things, in ugly shapes and forms; huge things, made and meant for hard everydav wear and tear.One lady I knew, had a passion for collecting the hair of celebrated people.Another made it her business to add stick to stick, from stout oak saplings down to thin and fragile-looking canes.You have known people who had fais for newts, gold-tish, and water-beetles.All very pretty\u2014while they lasted.I will also tell you a story, if you will promise on your part never, no, never, on any pretext whatsoever, to.reveal to my friend that I told it to you.You promise?Very well.She had a large aquarium, holding gallons of water; it stood in a window, and In the sunshine the 1.ttle beetles paddled their own canoes of t odies contentedly to and fro, while the big newts (tritons)sat on the rock in the widdle, and looked with wicked, wide- cpen eyes at the little fishes that ducked nd dived, and swam around.Itwas a ision of perfect harmony.There were o sinful creatures to prey upon the un- « flending; fresh water plants kept the 168t crystal globe sweet and pure; and the days passed merrily and joyously.The only, departures were those made by the lovely opal-winged May-flies, as they woke to life and flew away through the open window, to bask in the summer sun.But, alas ! it is not always summer; indeed, on the whole, we may agree that there is uncommonly little of it up here.And winter came; chill winter, with bite ing winds and sharp frosts; and one cold Sunday morning\u2014misfortunes often occur on Sunday morninge; why, I wonder?Lo, and behold! There was a crack in the glass.A piece cut clean out, as if by a glaziers diamond; and the inmates of the aquarium were dispersed abroad, taking an airing.The fishes were gathered up, speedily \u2014more than half-dead, poor things.Tha water-beetles, after a sharp stern chase, were captured and led captive as before, only in smaller vessels.The plants were mopped up with the \u201crocks,\u201d the sand, and the rest of the debris; but the jolly fat newts made their way with speed downstairs, and were only discovered on the next washing day, when they were found, reposing for conveniences sake in the house-boots of the washerwoman ! The last member of the party\u2014a lean and lengthy leach\u2014made his exit by unlawful means, I have no doubt; and may even now, for anything I know to the contrary, be \u201ccarrying on\u201d at odd moments, by performing sanguinary feats of terror upon the innocent and confiding people wno come into his neighborhood, Well, well! Chacun a son goat.If you need the company of asnall, ora beetle, or even :a blind-worm to keep You out of mischief, for goodness sake go and yet it, and stick to it a8 long as it willstick to you.I don\u2019t suyyose anyone who is sensible will grumble at it; and for the others, well, don\u2019t mind them, that is all.Now,there is 2 man in my mind\u2019s eyes who is rabid on Hobbies.He would always write the word with very large capitals if he could.I am not going to describe him, I shall only tell you that he is neither rich, nor grand, nor high.He works hard enough for his living; just as hard as any one else ; and, as hig work consists in waiting upon others in & very humble capacity, {do not suppose he earns a very lordly income by its means.Very little time to waato\u2014 very little money to squander.He is not the man to squander anything.Did I not tell you he was a Hobbyist?He collects\u2014what ?Everything, Nothing comes amiss.Rare old chiny reposes on his shelves ; ancient weapons hang upon his walls.Antique bronzes, valuabl pictures, duskv volumes, coins, and re- ics of the past:\u2014these form his treasures, these fill his home, And, at the possession of what is intere esting is in itself an education, go thig man i8 quite knowing as to his collect ion.He can discass with a connoisseur \u2014\u2014\u2014 on the merits of some dim, but rarg dish of ancient china; or talk pleasentiy about tbe picture, you see hanging upon the wall above your head.An archdeg.con\u2019s wife dces not disdain to ask hiy opinion as to the value of her own treag.ures; and clerics are his constant friendg and visitors.Dearer than ought else are the things for which he has scraped, ang saved and pinched.They are very bean, tifal, very wonderful.We tell him 80 as we hold the hard-working hand that bas collected all these things, « You must be very bappy to have gatherad these together,\u201d we say.\u201cAnd so I am: and eo is the missus, Bless you! she likes \u2019em as if they were childer.\u201d He is only a working man; bat he hag the tastes of @ man of culture and ye.finement.Such à man was also Thom, Dixon, the corkcuiter, Ruskin\u2019s friend, dressed.Such men honour the age by belonging to it.Out of their own hume ble surroundings, they create for themselves the rarest of Paradises, All theee treasures have been picked up at odd moments; and are the result of much self-denial, You can imagine with what delight he picks up something ney \u2014a bit of Barnian ware\u2014a coin from Hadrian's Wall\u2014a \u201cblock\u201d of Benwick\u2019g bide.; If you meet him, you will probably paes him by.Yet the lesson he teacneg.18 fuil of value.Itis & grand one.It iy this-\u2014how to make the most of our ep.vironments.A difficult task is may be \u2014 yet perfectly feasible.\u2018The greatest living master of tbe E 1st language, John Ruskin, tells us that.\u2018the most helpful thing, and the most.sacred work which one man can do for another is to teach him, not how to bat ter eimself, but\u2014bow to satisfy himself\u201d This, &8 a rolley-man eaid to me the otber day, is to teack bim the same grand lesson\u2014how to make the best of his environments.You cannot repeat this toy often, Life, with its nullness, its dreari.ness\u2014the dullness and the drearinesg begotten of labor\u2014requires soms other legitimate means of drawing off our at tention from its cares and concerns, Some fly to pleasure, to gambling, to drink, to questionable amusements.Tne humble toiler draws back, his instincts lead him to the beautiful, the interesting, the beguiling hobby of collecting art treasures.It is slow work.One thing at a time.1 dare say he began with very humble \u201cfinds\u201d; just a few simple things got together to please the refined nature which was lying dormant below the rotigh exterior, and zradually he educated himself to a correct estimate as to what be should take and what he should leave behind, until his possessions ag.sume the proportions they have at press ent, when they may be said to be worth many hundreds of pounds.To be bound down to the narrow run of one\u2019s everyday life only, woald he, indeed, a cruel destiny.Nature herself presents innumerable chanuels of safely; and a hobby must lie outside of oar work, if it is to afford us all we desire and need, by way of recreation and pleasure, My Hobbyists wife shares nis sympathies.This is well.How many à wife would simply shrug her shoulders, and turn up her nose at his \u201cfinds!\u201d And how some women can perform this deli« cate feat! How she would banish hig fossils, and throw his musty relics into some dark hole and corner, and speak derisively about them\u2014not always be- bind his back either.Many a woman makes her own mischief.She has not the wit to see that while she is thwarting her \u201cman\u2019s\u201d little pleasures, she ig stunting his inner growth, dwarfs ing the relations that exist between them and fostering much that is evil in his nature.She do not realize that if a man has nothing to occupy Lis heart and his brain while his hands are resting\u2014the devil will fill up the vacuum for him, by finding something which she will not like at all.She may depend upon it.By all means, let us cultivate our Hobe bies:\u2014out of them willjcome the gilding that sets off the picture of a happy life.1f it be a weakness to have a hobby, do not be ashamed of it.Emerson teilg us \u201cour strength grows out of our weakness,\u201d It argues the presence of strong individualism, and shows us the trae man below the external surface.The man is known by his hobbies.An intellectual mind rises above the miserable pettiness that pleases smaller folks; it cannot be eatisfied with greyhounds and rabbits, and dice.A world lies before it, like a vast sea; and into that sea it most dive, bringing back with it things new and old to brighten, and beautify, and elevate the Hobbyist\u2019s life.\u2014Newcastle, Eng., Chronicle.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Commercial men try the McNally House, 742 Lagau- chetiere-street- Mothers, Read This! *Dyer\u2019s Improved Food for Infants is the best I ever used for my babiess.Price 25 cents.Try it.W.A.Dyer & Co, Montreal._ rm A Peg Top is a first-class cigar and L.Of made of good tobacco.Try 1t.Grothe & Co., Montreal Bick Headache and relisve all the troubles tng dent to a bilious state of the system, such aë- izziness, Nausea, Dro 3 ] wsiness, Distress after eating, Pain in the Side, &c.While their most.tetarkable success bas been shown in curing + Headache, yet Canrtz's LrvrLa Liven Prize are equally valuable in Constipation, curing | and preventing this annoying complaint, while they also correct all disond 3 ' stimulate the liver and Even if they only cured Ache they would be almost priceless to thos but forumates the Sg § ut fortuna ces not : here, and those who ee one will find, fo iE Fe pa oy n wi But all sick rors ACHE Is the bane of 80 many lives that here is wher®.we make our boast, Our pills cure 5 while others do not.'ARTER'S LITTLE LivER Pras are very small | and very easy to take, One or two make 8 dose.They are strictly vegeta not gripe or.purge, but by thelr tie action please all who use them.In vial 5 cents ve for $1.Bold everywhere, ar sent by mail = CARTER MEDICDIE C0, Mew Tak A Small PL Small Dosa rinted and published by THE LHERALD COMPANY LIMITED, Hon Peter Mitchell President, at No.i È è coast} THE HERALD is Beaver Hall Hill.Montreal to whom many ef the \u201cFocs\u201d were ad: % ."]
