Some Pointed Things About the Case OF ALLEGED CONSPIRAOY.a He Dwells Upon the Duties of a Member of Parliament and the Necessity of Him Belong Entirely Independent of AnyCon- tictors or People Interested in Government Work of Any Kind.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, Orrawa, Jan.7.\u2014The charges of cor- spiracy against Thos.McGreevy ad Nicholas Connolly were given to the grand jury this morning by Mr.Justice Rose.Immediately upon the opening of the court Mr.Osler formally presented the indictment against Messrs.McGreevy and Nicholas Connolly, and then His Lordship made his charge to the jury, after fully explaining the position of the various members of the firm of Larkin, Connolly & Co.at tue time the Quebec contracts were awarded.His Lordship pointed out that it was then and for the first time apparently that the idea was conceived of obtaining these valuable contracts by undue influence.The scheme devised was to obtain the influence of Mr.Thomas Mc- Greevy, who was then a member of the House of Commons and one of the Beard ot the Quebec Harber Commissioners, and in order that they might obtain the influence and as- stance of Thomas McGreevy, it was agreed to give his brother 30 per cent of the p ofits, although Robe:t was nos a member of the firm in any sense, neither having any money invested or doing any work.The 50 per cent was paid to Robert aud it brought no return in the ordinary businees way.lt amouated to à very large sum.In fact Thomas admits having received $65,000 from Roberts share of this money, $15,000 of which went to his personal affairs, while he claims that the palance was paid for political purpuses.His Lordsbip then dealt at some length with the reception of tenders and the manner in which they were moneyed out.The lowest tender waa that of Peters, Moor and Wright, but by some means, which the Crown claimed to be the 1esult of conepiracy, it was figured up so that it became the highest, and it was in the carrying out of this design that Thos.McGreevy\u2019s influence was used, He seat the firm information which he received from the engineers of the department, and afterward wrote to members of the firm, telling them what to ao in order to secure the contract.Tre plan was successful.Larkin, Connolly & Co.secured the contract, which amounted lo à very large sum, some $2,000,000 or $3,000,u00, and oui of this woney lsree sums Were paid out for otrer than business purposes.Sixty-five thousand dollars were traced irom the firm ot Larkin, Kounolly & C.to Robert, and thencs to Themes McGreevy, and other sums were paid, about which tue court weg likely to hear particulars later.Is was their duty to bu guided solely by the evidence and to base their decision upon that evidence.The law was very simple.Thos.McGieevy occupiva positions of more than ordinary trust aod importaLce.He was not only a member of the House of Commons of Canada, the highest tribunal in the country, but he wus a member of the Quebec Harbor Commissioners, a budy entrusted with many importaut works.It wus mst necessary for purity in the administration of public affairs, absolutely necessary indeed that members of Parliament, the representatives of tbe people chusen to guide the nation\u2019s affairs, should go to Parliament tree and independent men, uninfluenced by any ulterior matter at all, certainly not by any bribe or other congideratiors, and they were sent to Parliament to see that the country\u2019s affairs were properly administered, that the public money was properly expended, that public works were notconstructed ex cept where needed,and that where needed tey should be constructed at the lowest possible price, not leaving any margia to be improperly expended, and aboye all to see that public money was not administered for political purposes in any way.They could thus see how important was the position of a member of Parliament.It was not necessary for him to tell them of the importance of honesty in pubiic affaire.The very moment a member of Parliament received money from public contractors that moment he left the door open for thieves to enter and pillage the public treasury.His Lordship warned the grand jury to leave their minds free from any bias.It was their duty to be guided alone by the language used in the courts of justice.No language used outside the court in paliiation of the crime charged, spoken for political purposes, should have any effect.There were no politics in a court of justice and they must banish political bias from their mixds.It was their duty alone to see if the ac- cosed had conspired to obtain public works by undue influence.It was no answer, no justification to say that the contract was the lowest and that the Government did not lose by the transaction.All they had to find out was the simple question whether the accused had conspired to obtain contracts improperly from the Government.If whey found that there was such a conspiracy it was their duty to return a true bill, if the evidence did not prove that they should reject the indictment.His Lordship, in conclusion, said that his attention had been call ed to the efforts of evil disposed persons to influence the public mind in regard to this case by articles w Lich bad appeared in the public press.lle crown otticer had not thought iv necetsary to bave the offending parties brought before the court, but he deemed t hig duty to warn them not to be in- \u2018fluenced by anytaing they had seen in the press.dbnis case was to be tried by eyidence ] J 3 CENTS 83 PER YEAR elicited in the court-room, not by anything written or spoken outside.If the articles complained of were written in the interest of the parties concerned they were ill advised and he hoped it would not be recessary during the progress of the trial for the court to have to make any further reference to this matter.If he haa to be gave due notice that more active steps would be taken to preserve the dignity of the court of justice.Mr.Osler announced that in addition lo thelr dictment against Thos.McGreevy and N.Coonolly, indictments would also be laid against Patrick Larkin and Michael Connolly.The grand jury then retired, rm MARITIME PROVINCE NOTES.Yellow Fever Reported to Have Broken Out at Kingston, Jamaica.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, Haurrax, Jap, 7.-\u2014Advices Lave been

elderly colored woman cowhiding a young and pretty quadroon, and finishing the operation by deluging her with red ink, was seen at à late hour on Tuesday night on Halsey-street, near Central- avenue,

janitor of some flats on Haisey-street, not far from the scene of the affair alluded to.He lives with his wife, who was the wom an with the cow- bide, at No.683 Central-avenue.The couple had nine children, all of whom, with but one exception, are married.On covert street, and in the serviceof a private family, lives Ellen McHenry.Bhe is tall and lithe, and if it was not for the purple or her finger-nails and just » a slight fulness of ber lips people would never suspect that she had a \u2018race of black blood in her veins.Bome six weeks since Mrs.Wilkinson received a postal card, which asked her at what date her husband would become a widower.The writer of this unkind query explained Lim cr herself by alleging tuat John has already made arrangements to wed Eilen when Mre.Wilkineon herself had turned up her toes to the daisies.The good lady becawe jealous and inquisitive, and in two or tnree days she learned that Ellen was in the habit 0: meeting her elderly admirer.Taes lay night about 11 o\u2019clock John and the girl returned from t \u20ac y-y and g ittcring halls of pleasure 1n the veizhborhood of Bixtk-avenue, New York, and were parting at the door of the Halsey-street flat wt en bis high hat went;spinning into the gutter.Atthe same, ti me a terrible voice yelled : \u201cT got yoh, and yoh blackhusay!\u201d The voice was tLe voice of Mrs.Wilkinson, and the arm was hers also.John fled forthwith, and diving into the recesses of the basement, left Ellen to her fate, This was a pretty hard one, Mrs, Wilkinson drew irom her pocket a stout leather thong and began to thrash the girl unmercituily, Ellen took refuge at the door of à store, and eroucking down pleaded for mercy.Mrs.Wilkinson then gave her & sound tongue lashing, and after telling the crowd that had assembled the reason of her action produced a big bottie of red ink.With this she deluged the terrified girl from head to foot, ard with a final \u201cblack hussy,\u201d strode away triumphantly.Some people assisted the girl home, and it is said that John has purchased forgiveness at the price of much humiliation, tems THE RANKIN DIVORCE.The Wife in New York Hasn't Heard of Any Proceedings.New York, Jan.7\u2014The news telegraphed from San Francisco that McKee Rankin, the actor, had applied for a divorce from his wife, nee Kitty Blanchard, alleging desertion, excited no great amount of comment among theatrical people, for the couple have been separated for years, .1s.Rankin is playing in \u201cThe Junior Partner \u201d at Herrmann\u2019s Theatre, and lives with her

Boycott \u2014 Guttenburg\u2019s Death \u2014 The Board of Control Reinstates Some Joockeys\u2014Wagner Takes Hold of the Washington Baseball Club, aa bi] Perhaps one of the most original inventions ever produced 1a this quarter of the world, says the Boston Herald, is one that Mr, James O, Brown, of this city, has recently patented.He believes tha! by its aid alone can the two-minute trotter become anything but a chimera.At first sight the drawings of his remarkable invention appear somewhat complicated to an eye accustomed to the light ard elegant racing sulky, as they represent a wagon weighing about 2,000 pcunés aud carrying a 4-horse-power engine, or other suitable propeller.Brown's \u201c horse-developing machine \u2019 is \u20acsentially a wagon with heavy rubber-tired wheels, having in itself su - ficient motive power to move at the ra e of a mile in two minutes.From th front of the machine heavy shafts protrude, and between these the horse whose gait has to be \u201cimproved\u201d is forthwith installed.Onca there he is entirely at the mercy of his driver.A stout belly band of steel, leather covered and padded inside, encircles the stomach of the staed, while equally unbreakable quarter strap, breeching and breast strap hold the horse as in a cage.Although the restraint is there, it does not gall in the least, so long as the animal does what is wanted, but if he tries to break he will find the quarter strap in his way; should he wish to lie down and roll he will surely be prevented by the belly band, and should he not go fast encugh he will find the inexorable two- minute machine thundering in his rear, and, by a mild but irresistible pressure on his hindquarters, inculcating the beauty of celerity.+ The driver, wno has control of all this complicated mechanism, sits on a seat much like an ordinary mortal.In his hand be holds the reins which are included in the outfit, just to accustom the animal to their presence, as he could be as effectually guided without them when once safe between the shafts of Mr.Brown's \u201cdeveloper.\u201d By pressing upon sundry levers with foot or hand the man on the box seat can either increase the speed of the machine, turn the horsa and forebody of the wagon on the right or left, raise or lower the shafts, and, in fact, act the part of an irresponsible despot should he desire to show the quadruped in the shafts who is boss.Mr.Brown claims another valuable quality for his invention.By its aid he can exercise ag many as 10 colts at a time.In order to do this ho affixas a pole to the rear of a wagon, takes off the shafts, and to the end of the pole aforesaid adds a heavy cross tree, with wheels at either end, and having shafts for the attachment of five horses on either side of its centre part.Itisthe intention of the inventor to arrange for the supply of one ofthese machines to every track in the country.es TURF, The Board of Control Reinstates Some of the Jookeys.NEw Yorx, Jan.7.\u2014The Board ot Control held a most important meeting in the Cumberland, Fifth avenue and Twenty-second-street, yesterday after- Loon, the session laeting for more than three hours.That the Board lost ne time in getting down to business is shown in the amount of work done during the afternoon.The news that James Rowe had received the appointment of official starter was received with delight last night by the friends and well wishers of this capable and conscientious young man, who makes a success of everything he uader- takes.Rowe, whose work with the flag last year was most meritorious, was easily the favorite for the position, although there were a number of applicants.The board stipulates that he shall not be interested either directly or indirectiy in any stable ofrace horses or in their winnings, or in any betting on the races during the term of his appointment.The conditions are undoubtedly severe, but as far as Rowe 18 concerned,the board can rest assured that in him they will have an official in which the public and horse owners will have the fullest confidence.His career as jockey, trainer, horse owner, and starter will bear the closest investigation.Several trainers and jockeys were licenged, but the granting of all privileges to Jockeys Edward H.Garrison and Martin Bergen, whose licenses were revoked last season, is by far the most important work done by the board yes- térday outside of the appointment of Rowe.Garrison earned his reinstatement, and it is to be hoped that Bergen has learned to control his temper, and that in fature he will refrain from telling racing officials to a pie, whether the said racing officials are fond of pie or not.Garrison is a changed man since last July, and the public may look for some brilliant work in the saddle during 1892, Jockey Jimmy Lambley, whose license was algo revoked, is among thosa ;whose application was favorably considered.The following trainers were granted licenses for the current year: Jacob Pincus, Emanuel Harding, J.W.Rogers, A.J.Joyner, H.B, Durham\u2019 James H.McCreery, W.B.Gilpin, E, Cahill, Mat thew MM.Allen, Jobn J.Hyland, Augustus Hannon, Edward Feakes, Edward McGarry, Matthew Byrnes and John Moran.Lo These jockeys had their applications favorably acted upon: Edward H.Gar- yisop, Harry Eirod, John Lawmbley, James Lambiey, John Donovan, John Keefe, Patrick McDermott, William Midgley, Martin Bergen, Frank L.Good- ale, H.Booth, Wallace Graham, Samuel J.Doggett, Isaac D.Murphy, Michael Costello and William Sims.Patrick McDermott rode yesterday at Guttenburg and of course he will not ra- ceive a license.The Board of Control wili meet again Tuesday next and will then adjourn until next spring.Mr, Phil Dwyer will Children Cry for go to the Indian River country to,remain until Aprile A Well Enown Farm Bold, \u2019 MronLwTowx, N.Y.Jan.7.\u2014Mr.J.D, Willis of Brooklyn, the well-known horse-breeder, has sold the property near this city known as the Middletown Stock Farm to Mr.R.D.Campbell of A Friendlander & Co, New York City.\u2018The property consists of 110 acres of land, on which are a mansion and capacious barns and stables.The price paid is reported to be $15,000.The farm is noted as having been for many years and until his death the home of tLe great Orange county sire, Old Harry Clay.Mr, Campbeli\u2019s purchase inclades a number of brood mares and young stack which have been kept on the arm, Bought by Keene.It tures out that a number of brood mares and fillies purchased in Engiand during the recent sales at Newmarket were in reality bought for Foxhall Keene, instead of Mr, Belmont and other parties to whom report assigned them at the time.Included in the list were the two St.Simon fillies, Katharine IL (winner of the Brockleaby stakes in 1891) and Citronella, both of which wers supposed to have been bought for Mr.Belmont.Altrgetner twenty-two mares and fillies of the most aristocratic lineage wore bought for Keene at a cost of &55,415, strong proof that he maans to stand in the very front rank presently both &s a turfman and breeder.Thirteen of the mares were bred lasé year to such fashionable sires as Gallisrd, Ceru- ieus, Hawkatone, Clairvaux or Macheath, Chitabob, Ayrshire, Althorp, Torpedo, Kilwarlio, Merry Hampton and Foxhall, and as their produce will be foaled in this country, Mr.Keene will be well equipped two years hence to test the comparative merits of English and American bred racers.New Orleans Exemovted.New York, Jan.7.\u2014The exemptions of New Orleans from the racing boycott is causing a lot of unpleasant comment.It is notorious that racing there for some years has been considered in this city as simply on a par with the shell game.Only a handful of people attend and the races are run for the benefit of pool rooms throughout the country.There is very little stable rcom there for people Wh » would want to race houestly.It is not looked for.The track depends for support on softheads and on pool rooms, and the game is permitted simply because gamblers control the State of Louisiana.These gamblers itis not in the interest of a very large part of the Board of Control in this city to antagonize, as the interests of both are equal in identity and in illegality.Some members of the Board of Control are grasping after the entire racing \"profits in thie State by the employment of the same means they exercised in obtaining control of Louisiana for selfish and improper purposes.New York, however, is not Louisiana, a fact which will be forcibly brought home to the Board before the racing season of 1892 will be half over, The Garfield Derby.CHicaGo, Jan, 7.\u2014The Garfield Derby tor 1892, one and one-quarter miles, for three-year-olds, it is announced to-night will be for $20,000 cash, guaranteed.There will be 14 other stake races for the spring meeting of 1892.The stakes for the summer meeting of 1892 are to be announced later.For 1893 the Garfield Park Derby for three-year-olds, one and one-quarter miles, will be for $20,000, guaranteed;also a stake for one mile for three-year-olds, $10,000 cash, the same conditions as the Derby;also a thee-rquarter mile stake for two-year-olds for $10,000 guaranteed.Ali horses bred and owned in Australia, Ireland, England and France at the time of entry, will be allowed five pounds.Guttenburg\u2019s Death.The World says: The holiday crowd at Guttenburg yesterday was smaller than usual, although the weather was pleasant and the racing up to the average.There was some curiosity to see if any of the leading jockeys would defy the Board of Control.The only jockey of any standing who rode was Taylor, and bis performances last season on the big tracks caused tears of agony to flow down the cheeks of his unfortunate supporters.Penny also rode, bat beside these two there was no one of note.Those whose memories revert to many & well lost race in the past will utter glad cries of joy when they note in the list of jockeys wbo cannot now ob- {ain licenses Master Flynn and Master Martin, Both these young gantlemen were unfortunate with favorites.Of course, none of the great jockeys appeared.Both Garrison and Taral, who were announced as surely going to ride, have sent in their applications for licenses to the Board of Control.Garrison was at the track yesterday, but there is no probability of his throwing away the princely revenue he will earn next summer for the pittance of the Hill track.An idea of the standing of the jockeys in yesterday's races may be obtained by glancing at their mames.There was an able and distinguished youth named Pfankuchen, probably a late importation of Gottlieb.There were Master Lurrissey and Master Nol- son\u2014Archer\u2019s both.There were J.Davis and Irving and Nelson, all notable names on the turf.RING.He Hurt His Hand, The Sun says : There was some rather lively talk in town yesterday when the word was passed that Tom Callaghan, \u201cthe Irishman,\u201d had hart his right hand on the head of Bill Dwyer, the Port Richmond featherweight, at the Ariel Club of Philadelphia on Saturday night.It seems that Dwyer started in to do a \u201ccooper- around-the-barrel\u201d act, and was quite successful in touching Callsgban often enough to cause great enthusiasm among the spectators.In the second round Callaghan, who doesn\u2019t hke to be fooled with, started im to put his man out.He let go his right and failed to connect on the jaw, but landed on the rear of Dwyers head insead.After that Callaghan fought on the defensive, and was touched up quite nicely.Tne result was that Dwyer received loud applause for the showing he made azainst Joe Early\u2019s latest discovery.The truth is, that when Callaghan put that right hand on Dwyer\u2019s heat, which blow, is might be mentioned, sent Dwyer t3 his ! knees, \u201ctbe Irishman\u201d made a great big puff on the back of his hand, Whea he returned to his corner, aad Early saw | Pitcher\u2019s Castoria | THE MONTREAL HERAIL what be had done, he at once ordered Tom to keep away to the end of the four rounds.Subsequently Callagh.an made no attempt to use his right, and Dwyer had all the best of the leading.The following despatch from President Charles Noel, of the Olympic Cub, of New Orleans, was received yesterday : \u201cWill Mitchell fight Fitzsimmons for à $12,000 purse on Feb.27 ?\u201d Evidently the moyements of the flyer, Charley, are no: of enough importance fo the New Orleans people to make them trace the Englishman\u2019s tracks, for Mitchell and Slavin fled from New Yo k on Sunday morning.But thisreply was sent : \u201cDon\u2019t think Mitchell will fight anybody, but please address all communications to bim personally.Believe he is in Ch¥ago or somewhere west.\u201d ATHLETICS, Good Weight Lifting by Meyer, of Berlin >, Association, One of the best amateur weight-lifting performances

$30,000; I'red Littlefiald, $20,000; Garrison, $20,000; Hamilton, $15,000, and others from $5000 to nothing.Prof, John Robinson, the swimmiag icstructor at the Boston Athletic Association, has signed a contract with the new Chicago Athletic Club, and will go to the Windy City next month.There is a farm at Glens Falls, N.Y., that is the only one outside of California with three stallions at 1ts head with records of 2.20 or better, The horses referred to are Robert McGregor, 2.174; Autograph, 2.184, and Del Mar, 2.20.These horses also represent the three greatest branches of the Hamblatonian family\u2014those of Alexander's Abdallah, George Wilkes and Electioneer.Among the facts developed about last sesson\u2019s trotting is that the fastest 4- year-old pacer and the fastest 4-year-old trotter of last year were sired by sons of Alma Mater.This wonderful daughter ot Mambrino Patchem who has 95 descendants that have trotted or paced in 2.30 or better, is but 19 years of age.Five of her sons and daughters have trotted into the 2.30 list, and her three eldest sons are producers.Two more of them will be found in the producing column at the close of next season.It is again reported that Adam Fuchs of Pittabarg has accepted, on behalj of his pacer, Frank Dortch, 2.154, the late challenge of Bob Stewart, to match Grant\u2019s Abdallah against any pacer east of the Rocky Mountains, except Hal Pointer, tor $2000 a side.Thejannouncement is made from Lox- ington, Ky., that Clay & Woodford of the Runnymede stud, are ab.ut to return to the turf, and will haye a stable of about a dozen horses for the season of 1892.It is said the horses will bo trained by Brown Dick, who will make his headquarters at the Louisville track.Millard Saunders writes from California to C.W.Williams as follows: \u201cWe will, of course, make entries in most of your colt stakes.I am anxious t> know if we can get any kind of a race fir our two-year-old filly Faueta (2.22), paclig I would like to get a race for her, ani I think 1t possible Mr.Jewett would enter Rolo, and that ought to make quite an attraction.\u201d Many Kentuckians are criticising C.W.Williams for offering sach large stakes with such small entrance fees.One cf them said to me the other night: \u201cI don\u2019t see how in the name of com nan sorse Williams can afford to offar stakes with 1 per cent.entrance fee.The man must be crazv.I have had many D trecks, and the only reason I can give for the Iowa man offering stakes with entrance feés 1 to 5 per cent.is that success has made him mad.Then, too, he splits the payments np so small snd gives the pominaturs every chance to get out if they finu their entries are not fit to take the final preparation, Oh, yes, I admire Wilhame\u2019 pluck and enterprise; but mind what I teil you\u2014he will go broke in less than three years if he persists in offering $6,000 stakes with only 1 to 5 per cent.entrance.\u201d o Continued on Page Eight.\u201cGerman Syrup

Probably not.Disease and death, sorrow and suffering, sin and selfishness still afflict mankind, while the means of amelioration are in the main withheld from the masses who cannot purchase them.We of this favored land, where is room for all, where harvests are abundant, and a livelihood is earned with comparative ease, scarcely realize the conditions in the older nations.Increase of population and industries produces wealth, but to what extent does the worker share it?Wealth means caste.Concentration means overcrowding, and overerowding, misery and vice.The struggle for bare existence becomes dasperate, and the weaker morally, intellectually and physically are trodden into the mud.London, the capital of the world, with its 4,000,000, counts its submerged tenth of the utterly destitute, the degraded and the \u2026 dangerous, whose lives are crushed with .hopelessness or defiant with despair, and their souls shrunken with famine; as though the fair pyramid of civilization rearing its apex high and yet higher into clearer skies, but bears with the more merciless and intolerable oppression upon the writhing mass of human atoms at its base.Has statecraft then no remedy\u2014religion no panacea?It would seem not, since these conditions exist and are developed in the broad light of day, under eulightened rulers and in the very shadow of abounding churches\u2014in so-called Christian nations, that, disregarding the wretchedness at their doors, exhaust their revenues in covering the earth with armies and whet their knives for one another's throats.All Christendom is building war ships and materials of war, while one among them in the fase of an appalling famine that may go nigh \u2018to disrupt the empire, in the name of orthodox religion, is hunting the helpless and wretched offspring of its own soil as terriers hunt rate.To what extent does all this represent the teachings of the Founder of that reli- glon, who eighteen centuries ago claimed all mankind as His brethren, whose tenderest sympathies went out most of all to him who most needed them, and in whose name such cruelties are to-day at the close of this enlightened nineteenth century suffered and committed?It would seem that these teachings have been lost to the comprehension of a modern civilization, that, immersed in the pursuit of wealth and power, material in its aims and life, selfish and even brutal in its Thethods, practically ignores the misery at its door, and to the purblind vision of a petrified theology that substitutes iron-clad dogma for the simple doctrine of Human Brotherhood-\u2014contention for charity and logic for love.aply comes in the operation of a cyclic law, that towards the close of each century rouses anew the dormant spirituality of a material world and working in the secret fibers of being touches the soul of mankind with a sense of unrest and unsatisfied aspirations.\u2018he evidence of this is everywhere, In the impatience of earnest minds with the crackling of the dead husks of dogmas ; in the awakening of the broader spirits in the churches; in the election of Phillips Brooks to an episcopate ; in the declaration by Heber Newton of the universality of the church ; in Lyman Abbott\u2019s profound assertion of \u201cbelief in the power of the human soul to discern spiritual truth ;\u2019 in Edison\u2019s subtle suppositions that atoms are inteliigent and immortal ; in Dr.Lodge's speculations as to the existence of other spheres of being and potency than the one of which we are conecious, and yet with which we may be in contact ; of Prof.Crooke's researches into the higher conditions of matter and his faith in the existences of enormously greater natural forces than those with which we are familiar ; in the thorough exploration the dangerous secrets of hypnotism are receiving, and the general investigation by scientific men of the more recondite powers of nature; in the spread of a mistaken \u201cspiritualism

old merchant?writes on harbor improvements and the necessity of increasing the revenue of the commissioners.There can be no doubt but the shipping returns of the past few years have been grievously disappointing, and last year, with the big crop from which so much was expected, was in shipping circles the greatest disappointment of the decade.For several years the commissioners have been engaged on plans for the improvement of the harbor and to facilitate the operations of commerce.They have now plans agreed upon and full authority and ample provision of funds to make a commencement and we should be glad to see some sign that these official Rip-Van-Winkles were waking uptothe work in hand.While we have in some respects a situation that should make our port ons of the first in North America, we have also some cruel natural disadvantages to fght against, and cannot afford to raisa additional and artificial barriers to commerce.The heavy taxation, or high tariff, to which imports are subject is of iteelf sufficient to destroy all prospects of advantageous trade, but beyond that there are disadvantages which the Harbor Commissioners have the opportunity, if they only had the desire, to remove.One of the first things is to raise the wharves 80 that permanent warehouses and other buildings may be erected in place of .the trumpery wooden sheds that gave such a mean appearance to the first view of tke city from the water front.Then some facilities a little greater than the 8bip\u2019s own donkey engines should be provided for the loading and unloading of vessels, and a complete set of hydraulic cranes, lifts and elevators should be at the command of ship-masters.This raising of the wharves would also solve the flood problem and enable the commissioners to do away with that horrible dyke whichis such a dfgfigurement to the city.There are so many ways in which the action of the commissioners could improve the appearance, the trade and the 1evenue of the harbor, end at the same time so much benefit the city at large that we must confess to feeling as anxious as a schoolboy looking out for his holidays, tasse the good work ommencad.- WE CANNOT SEE MUCH SENSE in the mania for changing the names of well known landmarks.If the name were of itself objectionable there would be an excuse, but the name of Cote St.Antoine has no unpleasant ring about it and is known to thousands who would be thrown nto confusion by the projected change to Westmount.\u201cA rose, by any other name, would smeil as swest,\u201d and the scent of Cote St.Antoine cam only bs altered by attention ta, or neglect of, sanitary requirements, aud not by change of name.Cote St.Antoine has, At all events, the merit of sounding like & separate municipality, while West- mount is more suggestive of a villa residence than an embryo city.let Mg, MAINWARING, THE PROMOTER of the Electric Railway scheme in tcis city, received the following telegram from Ottawa to-day: \u201cTelegram recef{ved, Electric cars running a8 regularly and successfully as in summer time, Streets occupied by our tracks in perfect condition for sleighing; the problem of winter electric traffic is admitted to have been successfully solved, AHERN & SOPER.\u201d Our own experience with the street cars in the city has not been quite so bappy.If the adoption of electricity will do away with the annoying imte:- ruptions so continually experienced by climatic conditions, it should have a great effect towards changing the onposi- tion to the projected route up Bieury, \u2018When next the proposal i8 brought before the council we should like to see at all events a trial allowed so the new system.lemme ALTHOUGH WE ARE VERY FOND of brag ging of our progress and wonderful free- wom we occasionally come across reports -of assumption of despotic authority by local boards and city councils that are enough to bring the blush of shame to the cheek of every true lover of constitutional freedom.The latest case in point is that ot the council of Gravenhurst, Oat., which bas passed a by-law prohibiting chil.ren under sixteen from loitering (n the street ait-r 3 p.m.This see.na a step

that those who have not paid their water tax are therby disqualified as voters, but to this the Mayor and also Ald.Conroy, the chairman of the committee, see some objections.In case of sickness, or acci lental failure of work, they argue that soms men, who are otherwise good citizens, are deprived of a vote, in consequence of a mere temporary embarassment.Sea- timentally, no doubt, the objections are right, but technically the Board of Re- visors could not do otherwise than uphold the law, just as it stands.There are many excellent reasons why the system of collecting the water tax should be altered and, we think, the city itself, and the large proprietors especially, would be greatly benefited by a change which would lessen cost of collections and at the same time almost do away with the bad debts that at present amount to a very heavy percemtage on the amount of the gross rate.The sort of philantrophy displayed by worthy aldermen who maintain the present mode of collection and yet profess themselves so pitiful to the poor people who are hurt by it, lays them open to the charge of wishing to \u2018run with the hare and hunt with the bounds.\u201d Itis well known that many proprietors are averse to any change that would lay the charge against property, and leave them to collect the amount in increased reutals.To retain their votes one can see that aldermen have to appear to support the old system; while to catch another large vote they have to profess great aversion to it and be profu:e in promises to neutralise the consequences to those who will not or cannot pay.Now this action is in reality offering a premium to impecunicus or dishonest householders to withold their payments.The bold and honest course is to point out to the taxpayers that to enforce the penalty, in so far as cutting off the water supply, is to invite the attack of epidemic diseases.Bad water and dirt are now generally recognised as the two main breeders of contagious diseases, and deliberately to invite their attack by cutting off the water supply is to fly in the face of all the canons of sanitary science, To attempt to mitigate the consequences by the renovation of that old institution the \u201cparish pump,\u201d or open hydrants, does more credit to the heart than the head of the proposers.On second thought they will be among the first to see that such a scheme would be not only an expensive one for the city, but demoralising to the citizens.A parish pump in a hamlet is all very well but Montreal has outgrown that era by two centuries.Hydrants would have to be far more plentiful than post office boxes, and almost equal in number to the lampposts to place one within easy reach of every poesible applicant.Imagine, in a cii- mate like ours, seeing a procession of thinly clad females waiting their turn for buckets of water.We say \u201cthinly clad\u201d advisedly, for people who could obtain suitable winter clothing would be very ssldom among the applicants.The cold, the miserable exposure of poverty, the degradation implied, would break the hearts of an independent and high strung people, like ours, It seems just as fair to make each tenant pay his share of roadmaking and lighting, on penalty of not being allowed on the streets, as to charge water tax or cut off the supply on non-payment.Water, air, light and means of communication by streets Jor roads, are among the things a workingman looks to his landlord to supply; bit he expects to pay for such accommodation in the shape of rent.If he cannot be supplied he can move his capital, his fingers, brains, or muscles to some other stand, and the city and the proprietors thereof can have no redresss for their lgss.WE TRUST THAT THE DETERMINATION of the street inspector to enforce better attention to the state of our city side walks will be entered into as a \u201ccampaign of education.\u201d To commence in the small back streets may bo a tempt ing opportunity to display authority without fear of coming into collision with the rich and powerful, but will do very little towards improving the condition of the city.It is great thoroughfares, where the busy throngs are to be found, that want mcst looking after and which are generally the most neglected.Enforce proper attention there and the smaller fry in the side streets will not be long in learning the lesson.\u2014\u20140o THE SIRKET INSPECTOR is well advi sed in bis determination to clear the streets of the waggons, carts and sleighs which are left out to the hindrancs of traffic, The impudence with which some people appropriate public property for private purposes requires some check, and when be bas got through with the vehicles we should like to call his attention to the doorsteps which are often allowed to project half way over the side walk, to the great danger of pedestrians, \u2014\u2014\u2014 Ageut OC, P.R.Mr.F.M.Up'on, Agent C.P.R, Toronto, Ont., says: \u2018 My

the Forty- sixth Congress he would take the cases essigned to him, hand them to his committee clerk and say: \u201cYou are a lawyer; I refer theses cases to you just as à claim against a

Commissioners regularly, and I would call attention to a feature which will, IT am persuaded, command the thoughtful congideration of all concaraed for the public good.1 notice at the last meeting of the Board the chief business was the opening of tenders for work required, Nos this is all for spending, and the question arises, what steps are being taken for the increase of the income ?We had the Federal Finance Minister months ago on a trip to the West India Islands seeking commerce, and everybody knows the United States have gobble up that trade.Does it never occur, Mr.Editor, to our Cabinet Ministers that, in the first instance, Great Britain (if it were only from loyalty) deserves our first thoughts?From partisan ideas (Tory, of course), the mother country\u2014 our best market for agricultural produce \u2014is,to my mind, scandaiously used in such tariff barriers being artidcially erected against her, If trade can only be allowed to take its natural course, and the Government will reduca 30 co 65 per cent, duties (on staple goods) to about 20 per cent., I prophesy tha income of our port will be doubled within five years, and trebled by 10 vears, and the Government have a finurisbing budget as well.AN OLD MERCHANT.\u2014#-\"# What Shakespeare Might Haye Said To take or not to take: that is the question, Whether \u2019tis better for a man to suffer The pangs and

when so many suffer untold ag- noies from indigestion.Of course he would have gone onto say that a man must be u fool not to take the \u201cBome- thing\u201d which would pat an end to the \u2018pangs

Engineer Martin Sheedy, of Oswego ; Fireman Albert Cady, of Norwich, Both engines exploded soon after they etruck and were blown into twisted scrap iron.Engineer Young was dis- | covered standing op his feet among the broken parts of his engine, tightly pinioned against the heavy bara.He was alive, but died soon after.Fireman Cady was found crushed and lifeless in the wreck.Sheedy\u2019s burned and mangled remains were under the debris of the engines.Lhe accident was caused by SBheedy\u2019s carelessness in running on the accommodation train\u2019s time.His engine was going about 40 miles an hour when it BALTIMORE, Jan.7,\u2014The Chicago limited express, which left here last evening over the Baltimore and Ohio, was partly wrecked this morning near Fair- mount, W.Va., by the falling of a patent coupler.Several Jaseengers and train, bands were injured, but none fatally.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 AN UNDERTAKER PERPLEXED.Quarrel Between Count and Ceuatess Pats Him in à Quoer Position.PouGHKEEPSIE, N.Y., Jan.7.\u2014Richard L.Valentine.an undertaker in the village of Millerton, has asked the courts to help him out of a perplexing situation.Count de Batony1 married the daughter of W.R.Smith, of the village, a short 1ime ago, and took his brides to New York.They had a misunderstanding, it ig said, and the count sailed for Austra- lig.Before leaving he placed $600 in Undertaker Valentine's hands, the interest on which was to defray the expense of keeping the graves of the Countess\u2019s mother and father green.Now, the Countess doesn\u2019t appreciate tbis little trait of sentiment on the part of her hug- band and claims the $600, Undertaker Valentine doesn\u2019t propose to pay it over antil the courts decide.The Countess is about 45 years of age and is quite handsome.pr MINER3 THREATEN BLOODSHBD: Theo Tonnessee Troops Preparing for an Outbreak, KnwoxviLs, Tenn,, Jan.7.\u2014An ont- break among the Coal Creek miners is expected at any moment Eugene Mar.rill, the leader of the miners, has called @ meeting for to-morrow night, and trouble is expected after that, The State troops are preparing for it.When a United States flag was run up today the soldiers cheered it, while a miner yelled: \u201cIt won\u2019t stay there long.We'll shoot it down and you with it.\u201d The following circular is being sent among the miners: The convicts shall never gain a foothold bers again.Our prayer must be blessings on our people and destruction on the convicts, lessees and State militia.We must act with prudence and ive tit for tat.No matter what comes\u2014 eath, destruction or anarchy.We must stand together.One hundred and sixty-8even men think they may intimidate us.Shall we endure?Never, The time to strike once more for our families and home is almost at hand.ema CANNOT OR WILL NOT SEE, The Czar of All the Russias Apparently Igmorant of His People\u2019s Sufferings.LonnoN, Jan, 7.\u2014The Czar ig either wiltoliy blind to the situation of affairs -in his empire or the true condition of the pasants bas been kept from his know- edge.e has stated that no wide spread famine exists in his dc- minions, and that the saffer- ings of the poor are due entirely to a partial failure of the crops, which tae Government finds no trouble in making up from the stocks in the provinces where the crops were not affected.Large numbers of peasants are arriving at St.Petersburg buoyed up by the hope that in this city they will be able t2 find work, but these hopes are not realized.The Prefecture of Police is billeting these peasants on the wealthier hou se- bolde:s of the city, a number of whom are obliged to lodge and feed as many as {en of these sufferers.pe The English Quakers who have been making a tour of the Russian famine- stricken provinces are convinced that «the distress resulting from the famine is widespread, and they hope that all nations will prove their sympathy with ths sufferers in a practical way.A TALK WITH A TRAVELLER.Chat With the Philadelphia Wife of a ! Noted Diplomat.Mme.Romero, wife of the Mexican Minister, has lately returned to Washington after a pleasure jaurt as far as the Pyramids.She is a Philadelphia girl who married Senor Romero some years ago, and who has since that time been noted as one of the most accomplished women of the society circles of Washington and Mexico City.Her travels extended through Russia and Greece, and she also took a taste of Tur- * key.A SAD LAND.\u201cEgypt,\u201d said Madame, while talking it over with a New York World repor- ler, \u201cis aland of sadness.My impressions there were of amelancholy type during my entire sojourn in that land of sandy deserts and lonely pyramids.The heavily veiled women seemed to be wrapped around in an atmosphere of sadness.Nature intended the Egyptian woman to be one of the noblest of her sex, and she is said to Le beautiful.Beauty, however, does no good in Egypt, for the veil covers the face and ou see nothing but the eyes peeping out between the two veils fastened together by little round gilt tubes which rest just over the bridge of the nose.The women as they move through the streets of Cairo make one think of a procession of mutes at & funeral.MME.ROMERO.THE PYRAMIDS, \u201cThe Pyramids are grand.Mr.Romero went up the highest with the assistance of five Bedouins as guides, but I had not the courage to try the climb.The stones are laid one on top of the other in great steps, many of which are as high as a table, and the feat is by no means an easy one.AN EGYPTIAN WEDDING PROCESSION.In going from Alexandria to Cairo we saw & wedding procession.The bride-elect was elaborately mounted on a camel caparision- ed in gorgeous trappings.She was seated in a chair beneath a tent-like covering of bright cloth, and behind her sat four of her girl friends all decked out with jewels and trinkets of every kind.These chanted a melancholy song as the procession slowly moved across the lands to meet the bridegroom, who came to greet his bride upon & eautiful white Arabian steed.As the two came together the bridegroom turned and they rods side by side towards the home prepared for their reception.A crowd of their relatives surrounded them and the whole made a most picturesque group.Mme.Albani and the Queen.Mme.Albani could, if she would, tell some very interesting things about Her Majesty the Queen, who has been most cordial to her.Last October when she was staying at Old Manlodge and the Queen was in Balmoral she was treated almost like a member of the royal household.La Diva caught cold one day while listening to the music of the bagpipers, who play every morning for the royal family, and her physician ordered her immediate retirement to an even temperature and a boa of onion peelings, to be renewed every few hours.All engagements had to be cancelled, among them the Birmingham festival.The Queen was so solicitous about the artiste that she went in person to comfort her, and twice a day despatched a member of the household to ask after her health.These are honors that few women on or of the stage cap boast of, Give Your Wife an Allowance.When a wife needs money, she usually | | | repares herself to ask for it.Her need is fia before the head of the house, mach as a daughter would make a request, and it is frequently refused.\u201cWhat do you want money for?\u201d \u201cWhat can you do with it if I give it to you?\u201d I had not supposed the last I gave you was gone,\u201d or some other uncomplimentary remark in the husband's reply.Her judgment is criticised.But how can it mature and improve so long as the husband carefully conceals his financial affairs from his wife, and she is permitted to have no more financial experience than a child?Pity the woman who, with such inexperience, finds herself a widow with property to look aîter\u2014the helpless victim of à cold and scheming world.The Pretty Woman.A pretty woman must first of all have clearly cut, regular features.She must have full, clear eves, She must have a skin that is above reproach, untouched by rouge or powder.She must have glossy hair that has never known the touch of bleach or dye.She must have a white, expressive hand, preferably a small one, but not of à necessity, if it is well kept and white.The must know how to put on her clothes, or she loses half her beauty.She must fully understand what best suits her in the way of hair dressing and cling closely to that.\u2014-Boston Globe.Their Duplicate Eyes, The feminine gossiper of the New York Press says there are two girls in New York who are well provided against emergencies.They have duplicate eyes safely packed away in their jewel boxes against possible accident, When they were in Vienna last summer they visited the Salviati Glass Factory, where artificial eyes are made.During their visit they were surprised at the very steadfast gaze of one of the workmen, but, of, course, took no notice of the seeming impertinence.A few days later each received a little box, which, being opened, was found to contain most accurate copies of glass of their lovely eyes and ¢ little note requesting their acceptance, and saying that they might at some future tims Le found a great convenience.The Men the Women Want, What we want isa man who appreciates the extreme value of water and of soap, of flannel wash clothes and of big towels.A man who wears his clothes as if they grew on him and has them made ot good materials that are quite in tone.A man who makes his scarfs subserviend to his brains, and who doesn\u2019t wear either pale blue or searlet hybrids as his throat.A man whose shirt is as immaculate as his honor.A man whose shoes shine as brightly er his eyes.How to Manage a Husband.A Southern paper offers $10 to any wo THE MONTREAL, HERALD ee |

CLAIM TO BE THE PLACE.Ths Former Appears to\u2019 Have the Call- Routes of the First and Second Voyage\u2014 The Second Expedition Believed to Hav Been Up Through Hudson\u2019s Strait.When Columbus was making charts à Lisbon as a means of livelihood he dreamed of a country which he thought was a prolongation of the eastern shore of Asia.He lived to discover the land of his dreams, but it was not a continuation of Asia.It wasa new continent, stretching north and south from the Arctic to the AntarcticCircles.In like manner that other discoverer of renown, John Cabot, found another land than that which he expected.From over the waters of the great undiscovered seas there came to Cabot a vision of a country on which were blowing icy breezes, and where silk, Brazil wood, gold and precious gems were in profusion.fa his firs vogage, 1497, he sought the land of his dre he object of his second voyage, a year later had for its end the same.In these voyages Cabot discovered land which gave him a cen- spicuous place as a discoverer.His discoveries, like most great events, have caused considerable controversy.This is in part due to the lack of facility or failure to appreciate the importance of such events by the chroniclers of the period in question.In the Magazine of American History the Rt.Rev.M.F.Howley, D.D., P.A., has undertaken to settle the question as to the landfall of Cabot.There is much in the article that is argumentative, the writer having made the assertion in the opening paragraph that he proposed to establish his point before he let go.He has certainly done so to his own satisfaction, at least.Dr.Howley is a Newfoundlander, reared as he says in the tradition which has been held from time immemorial that \u2018Bonavista, happy sight,\u201d was the landfall.And from that point of land he proceeds.to establish his claim that somewhere in.that section, on the coast of Newfoundland, John Cabot ran up the standards of England and of Venice, or St.Mark.Leaving to the author his own well-ar- ranged arguments, it is only necessary te present the story of the voyages of the man who came so near getting the crewn that rests on the brow of Columbus.The patent or commission of Henry VIL \u2018to John Cabot and his three sons, Louis, Sebastian, and Sanctius, is dated March 5, 1495, old style.The expedition did not set out at ence, for even in those days there were jealousies between nations.Spain, se .8low to give encouragement to its own, later, intrepid discoverer, had, through its Ambassador at the English court, instituted intrigues by which the sailing of the Cabat -expedition was delayed until the following Year.THE COURSE OF THE FIRST VOYAGE, The first Cabot expedition, consisting o ane small ship, the Matthew, left Bristol May 2, 1497.The crew censisted of eight- en men, principally from Bristol As stated in a foregoing peragraph, chronicles were not only few in those days but uncertain.So that all accounts of the first voyage of Cabot are meagre.Enough is known, and this is in accord with the article by Dr.Howley, to state with certainty that Cabot sailed east from Bristol, rounded the southeast coast of Ireland, bent to the north, and after a few days left the north on his right band ard began to sail west.This voyage consumed three months\u2019 time, On the return there was living in London a Venetian merchant, Lorenzo Pas- qualigo, who wrote to his brcthers im Venice that \u2018\u2018our countryman,\u201d meaning Cabot, had returned from a voyage, and that 700 leagues west he had discovered land.A letter from Don Raimondo Soncini, envoy of the Duke of Milan at the court of Henry VIL of England, was written about the same time as the one referred to above, The envoy was well acquainted with the Cabots.imondi wrote: \u201cSome months since his Majesty sent a Venetian who is a reat navigator and who has great skill in iecovering new isles.He has returned safe and sound after having discovered two isles, very large and fertile.He places the discovery of the new land at 400 leagues from the west coast of Ireland.\u201d There are conflicting statement respecting this voyage, or the result of it, but a accounts agree that the first land discovered op the yage was that which now appears on the maps as Cape Farewell, on the lower point of &reenland, This being a bleak and barren spot, also a headland, Cabot believed there was an open ocean still to the westward.He pushed on some three hundred leagues and again discovered land.This must have been either Labrador or Newfoundland.Dr.Howley 18 quite sure that the land was Newfoundland.It was discovered June 2, and was called by Cabot, St.John.The date of the discovery was on St.John\u2019s day.From all the data obtainable, they are in support of the landfall of the first voyage, being on the east coast of Newfoundland.Old maps which are not regarded as accurate as one could wish, arr \u201cso in support of this claim, THB SECOND VOYAGE OF CABOT.The Discoverer returned by the sam sourse.In 1498 the second voyage was made and we have something more tangible about that.In it we have some allusions to latitude which did not appear in the first account.It is agreed that Cabot in his secend expedition had in view the same object that prompted kim in the firat, that was to find a passage to Cipiango and Cataia, the imaginary land of spices, of the silk and Brazil wood, of the gold and precious gems.Hence he made for the same place at which he discovered land on the previous voyage.This is made india- utable by a letter from Raimonde of Dec.10, 1497, in which eccur these words: \u201cHe [meaning Cabot] intends starting from the point already occupied the previous ear, to go farther toward the east [meaning the west], coasting along all the time,\u201d This second expedition started on the beginning of May, 1498.It consisted of six veasels and 300 men.From all descriptions of the adventures of this second expedition, encountering large quantities of ice, days that were almost perpetual, the nights being very bright, the conclusion is inevitable that Cabot in his second voyage went very far north, near the seventieth degree of latitude.Ramusio, one of the writars of that voyage, says Cabot went es far north as 67°.Another writer, Gomara, wrote : \u2018\u2019They went beyond or above, the Cape of Labrador, that is, Cape Chidiey or Chudley, and even went farther than that \u2014to the sixty-seventh degree toward the pole\u2014into Hudson\u2019s Strait.\u201d\u201d It isstated that encountering 50 much floating ice the men in the expedition came discontented and Cabot was obliged to put about and return to Baocalaos, the lace of landfall, either Labrador or New.Prondiand, Thence he coasted along souths wardly and westwardly as far aa Cuba yn.til, as Peter Martyr 8, hg reached the latitude of tho Straits Ji Hercules (Qibral tar), sad he

bad Cabot sod RAILWAYS northward on his second voyage he would bave discovered the Gulf of St.Lawrence and gone up the St.Lawrence River, thus robbing Jacques Cartier of the glory he achieved later.In conclusion, the assertion that Cabet\u2019s landfall was somewhere on the east coast of | Newfoundland, about latitude 49 or 50, is substantiated by the great number of names occurring in the exact order that is given on the earliest maps; as for example, Labrador, Fortune, Contereal, Fuego, Aveo, or Bird Island, Bonavista, Bonaventure, Buccalaos, Bay of Conception, St.Francis, Cape Spear, Fermeuse, Renouse, Cape Race (or De Rasso), St.Mary's, Cape Pine, Bay Despoir; and after these, coming to the island of Cape Breton, we have St.Paul's, Cape Smoky (Fumoso), Cape Breton, etc.As these names occur on those early maps shortly after Cabot\u2019s discovery, so do they exist today.There is no vestige of Prima Vista, no suspicion of a knowledge of the Gulf of St.Lawernce, or the island of St.John (Prince Edward Island), so that until stronger proof be forthcoming it would be unreasonable, on such a doubtful one as this supposed map of Cabot, to upset the traditions which have been held unbroken for so many centuries, and which are founded on the most authentic records ir wr possession.LOVELY WOMAN.What the Greatest Minds ian the Worle Have Said of Her.Remember, woman is most

Justice Coleridge on Nov.9 for the purpose of being sworn in according to the old custom, the Lord Chief Justice said in the course of his remarks: It may possibly be permissible to doubt whether the mere change of place from the Guildhall to Temple Bar has been the chief or the only reason for the diminution of great commercial cases in our law courte.It may be\u2014I don\u2019t say it is\u2014~that the mercantile men of London prefer to have their causes settled sim- Ply, quietly and inexpensively by sorae sengible, honorable man, who knows his business and who they can trust, to the enormons expense and endless delay which ofen follow the litigation of questions ia courts of law; and I must eay, for my part, that I think a man must have uncomwon devotion to tbe science of law if he prefers to have settled questions which Lord Ellen Lorough and Lord Mansfield left unse'- tled, at the expense, perhaps, of hundreds of thousands of pounds, to having his own individual particular case, which interests him beyond all other cases in \u2018tbe world, decided by.some sensibla mercantile arbitzator in whom he has faith.An Engiish trade paper, commenting upon these remarks, says: Tne head of the English law courts could not have teken à better opportunity {o britg this decay of commercial litigation before the public.It is undeniable that many basiness firms, not Children cry for only in the city of London, bnt all through the country, have tacitly decided that commercial litigation is in the majority of cases but a foolish and costly proceeding, wbich seldom accomplisnes the real end for which iv is begun.The cost of law and its uncertainties are bringing the whole legal profession inte disrepute, and han- dreds of business men have had more than enough of botb.In the medical world the highest in the profession can te seen for a two-guinea fee.How much law can be obtained for two guineas ?Either submitting a dispute to the judgment of two or three familiar with the customs of the particular trade, or to a board of arbitration, is infinitely a better and less c¢ stly plan than going to law, :ud commercial men are beginning to tee this very clearly.New York Stocks.Metsra Oswald Bros., brokers, 13 and 15 Hospital-street, have the followin over their direct private wire: : New Yorx, Jan.7.\u2014The market showed some indications of natural life to-day.-Severalot the stocks scored material advances at one time or another during the day and then d'sappoin*ed expectations by falling below the c! »;- ing figures of last evening.Chicago Gas was the main stock whose scintillations a.ernately brightened and darkened the market.It moved at one time to £0 and then took an immense slump for a day practically free from excitemeni and closed at 73.It looked as if the bears were testing the market and the stock referred to seemed to be the instrument sejected to be worked.Bull efforts to hold quotations were of no avail.Realization sales continued.the country returns geemed to be coming in, and as a final result the majority of the stocks in the list were found atthe end of to-day below the figures of yesterday.Yet tha market was stronger than that of yesterday and the losers were not so many.It is probable that the movement toward lower prices will require reinforcementa to push uotations much below their present fgures.We think the market will decline a little more and advise purchases when it does.Messrs.McDougal; Bros., stock brokers 69 St.Francois Xavier-street, report the New York market as follows: om gd TO-DAY §

States for 1891, made by the statistician of the Department of Agricalture, the crops of corn, wheat and oats (inclal- ing all but 2 or 3 per cent.of the cereal aggregate) are reportel.The total for corn has only been exceeded once.The wheat product is the largest ever grown in any country, and the yield per acre in the United States ia the largest ever reported by the Dapart- ment of Agriculture.The total for, oats was slightly exceeded in 1869.e ag- grogates are as follows: Corn\u2014Area, 76, 204,515 acres; product, 2,060,154,000 bushels; value, $836,439,228.Wheat\u2014 Area,

bushels.The aggregate of ail cereals is tte largest yet produced and will supply 54 to 55 bushels per unit of population.The wheat supply is the largest ever reported in proportion to population, averaging 9.4 bushels to each person, against 9.2 for the largest previous crop in 1884.The average value to the farmer is 40.6 cents for corn, 83.93 for wheat and 31.46 cents for oats.The value of wheat is greater than in any year since 1833, that ot the short crop of 1888 alone excepted.lent Leaf by leat the roses fall ; One by one our dear ones die, O, to keep them with us still!

No.1 regalar, 50 to 55c; No.2 regular, 40 to 45e; No.3 regular, 30 to 85¢.Stocks of wheat in store at Fort William on Dec.24 were 789,071 bushels, beirg an increase of 137,507 bushels for the week.\u201d errs.AMERIOAN MAREHFS The Chicago Markets.Messrs.Schwartz, Dupee & McCormick of the Board of Trade, Chieago, report over direct wire to Oswald Bros., men- bers of the Montreal Stock Exchange, 13 and 15 Hospital-street, giving the highest, lowest, opening and closing at Chicago for to-dav : .3 aL 4 |= 2 EE = 3 = W HEAT, .JaD.0000 5 8s$i 83% Feb.vaveefiscuce Nar Lu dfrcssrefsssne fes at ai ay.3 34 COBX .Jan.pu 382 Feb .8: 383 Mar.89;

May sold bee tween 41} and 41ÿc, and closed at 4itc.The Government estimate on corn is just about the aggregate heretofora es-« timated by the trade, consequently the Government figures were not particularly influential.Oats quiet without much change.Provisions opened somewhat easier on large 1eceipts of hogs, and advanced slightly from the early break and then dropped to $11.20 for May pork, but closed firmer on the news from the stockyards that hogs were higher on heavy purchases by shippers.Messrs, Lamson Bros.& Co.Chicago telegraph Messrs.Meredith & O\u2019Brien brokers, St, Sacrament-street, over their private wire as follows: Cuucao, Jan.7.\u2014The government report of the wheat crop of 1891 was the controlling influence in tbe market today.Jt was generally be'ieved that tha estimate would not exceed 600,000,000 bushels.The 11,000,000 extra seemed to have completely discouraged holders.The trading was not very heavy the fore rart of the session.Exporters were buying a little, which gave the mark.{ tbe appearance of some strength.Later, holders began to sell out and the market became weak.The bars improving their opportunity made it still weaker, cicsing about 3c per buab.lower than yesterday.The qaestion now is : will this government report prevent exportars from buying until their stocks become completely exhausted and thus cause the market to feel the effect of the full weight of the stocke and raceipts?Should that be the case there is little encouragement for bulls at the present.Shippers are still unable to obtain cars and the decline in wheat caused a similar feeling in corn and oats.The receipts of hogs were again quite large and the demsnd for hog product is good, prices being fairly well maintained.During the decline in wheat, speculative futures were lower in sympathy, but the osing was firm at a shade higher than the opening figures.\u2014\u2014ret\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Chicago Notes.Messrs, Meredith & O'Brien have received the following over their direct special wire : Receipts to-day: Wheat, 139;
