Secure His Dupes.HE OBTAINED PAPAL BENEDICTION, And in Various Ways Succeeded in Swindling Handreds of People Into Purchasing Canadian Property Which Existed Only in Bis Imagination\u2014Parisian Detectives on Their Way to Montreal, His Excellency, Jean Marie Delmas, Lieutenant-General \u201cL\u2019Ondre de la Milice de Saint Michel,\u201d is somewhere in safe hiding either in the city of Moat- real or its immediate vicinity, just where, our detectives would give considerable to know.Crossing the ocean in gearch of this illustrious foreigner are two of the smartest agents of the Paris police, for you must know that Monsieur, the Lieutenant-General, is a fugitive from French justice who has fled from his country to escape a lengthy term of imprisonment and heavy fine, punishments which are at pres ent hanging over his devoted head, the gentleman in question having been convicted on Tuesday, February 2, in the tenth division of the Crimipal Court of Paris, France, of swindling and gross fraud perpetrated on his all too confiding countrymen.At present, widely scattered over many parts of Canada, are dozens of the unfortunate dupes of this accomplished rogue, while at home, in la belle France, are thousands of others who have been similarly victimized out of millions of francs by one of the most gigantic and cleverest swindles ever sprung upon an unsuspecting public.Just at present the police are more than anxious to locate this interesting Frenchman for a big reward has been offered for his captare, by which it is hoped not only te have him suffer the punishment for which he has been justly condemned, but also to recover some of the vast store of money that for months (flowed into his coffers in a golden stream aud which he took good care to safely hide from danger of the touch of sacriligious hands before he finally folded his tent and silently stole away.There is another fact in connection with the flitting of this convicted fugi\u2018iv- which will be of particular interest t> Montreal readers.Itis that the Gv- ernment of Canada has keen more or less connected with the operations of the swindle beside which the Threa Rivers dead meat scheme, pales into insignificance, and whose only rival is that other swindle worked by a countryman ot Mons.Delmas the mythical, \u201cNew Britain\u201d colony of the celebrated Marquis ds Rays, the bursting of the bubble of continents some five years ago.How far on, if at all, the Ottawa authorities are to blame for this latest fraud is at present unknown.Still the fact remains that the Government advertising matter, Government maps of the Northwest provinces, and in fact the papers conferring an actual grant of land were largely used by Mons.Delmas in gathering his dupes to his net, and, when there, milking them of their hard earned savings.At this moment many an unfortunate tradesman; many a helpless widow; many an orphan, are completely destitate and in abject poverty, anxiously awaiting the capture of the fugitive in the hope that he will be made disgorge some cf his ill-gotten gains, while there are others, the capitalists, men of means who had invested thousands in the scheme, who are _ williog to spend other \u2018thousands in the capture and punishment of the man who successfully made them his dnpes, in their avaricious race for unearned gold.In conversation with some of the local detectives yesterday, they, while refusing to acknowledge any details of the story, appeared to desire that it might not yet given to the public, claiming that by so doing the ends of justice would be defeated.There are others, however, who think differently, and who state that by publishing the story it will warn the public against any scheme that might evolve in the fertile brain of Mons, Delmas on this side of the water.This latter view of the case was directly in line with that held by the reporter, who, after some trouble, obtained The Story ef the Big Swindle which ie now given exclusively to Herald readers.In 1888 and for several years previous M.Jean Marie Delmas, alias Camba- ceres, alias Herouval, was a clerk of the fi: st-class in the Postoffice Department, of Paris, France.In that year, however, for some unexplained reason, he was compelled to leave the department, and thoogh a well-known character in the French capital he, for a season, dropped out of sight.After a year of silence on his part he reappeared as suddenly as he had previously disappeared this time in the role of editor of a new journal then just .published.At this time the swindle and adventures of the Marquis de Ray\u2019s had apparantly dropped fron the pub:ic micd and Delmas, probably nots TERT LL which caused such a sensation on both } finding bis journalistic venture as remunerative a8 he would wish devised the plan of imitating the schems of the celebrated Marquis, and from that urtil his {jdownfall, when the strong arm of the law interposed to save the gullible public from themselves, his sthway was literally a golden one.he echeme which he evolved from his busy brain and which was to make all its patrons eventually roll in wealth was neither more or loss than the establishment of à French Catholic Colony.in Manitoba.To do this successfully ha devoted his best energies to the study of the history and geography of Canads, and being at last thoroughly versed on these subjects, be launched his venture on the market under the catching auspices of \u201cthe pious ladies,\u201d \u201cthe poor,\u201d and the \u2018\u2018ecclesiastics,\u201d and by the purely imaginary sale «flots which had no otaer existance than in his mind, the money began to flow in In a never ceasing stream into his hands.The new scheme was largely advertized.The official advertising papers, maps, etc.of the Canadian Government were free'y circulated and what purported to be a grant from the Government of à vast track of land on what the new colony was alleged to be situated, but which was actually only for a few acres in the far Northwest, was proudly exhibited 1a the general offices of the new company, On this plan populous towns were pointed ont and these towns were illustrated by beautiful pictures of the many costly churches, public buildings and other edifices which they contained, needless to add, however, also only in Mons.Del- mas\u2019 imagination.The new company bad its official organ and several other papers of which this \u201cChevalier d\u2019Industrie\u201d in person was editor in chief under several pseudonymons among Which were \u201cLes Anpales de Sainte Anne,\u201d \u201cDroit Monarchique,\u201d and also \u201cLa Marine Apostoleque et Marcbande.\u201d All these publications gained thousands upon thousands of subscribers.Still money was not coming 1n sufficiently quick for Del- mas, £o to bring in more dollars and to raise the prestige of the enterprise, he established an order of Cheva.iers ander the name of \u201cL\u2019Ordre de la Milice de Sainte Michel,\u201d at the head of which he placed himself with the title of Lieut.- General.Then He Dispensed Titles and Decorations.with a right liberal hand.While, however, these bonors might have satisfied the vanitv of the recipients, they did not greatly increase the contents of their purses, and to remedy this Delmas issued negotiable bonds of 50 francs each, declaring in his circulars that the par- chasers were mot only pleasing God, but by investing they would eventually reap a golden harvest.Fresh dupes bit at this new bait, and many on the strength of the bonds and the golden description of the Manitoba colony sailed for Canada.These arriving in Montreal, some of them immediately discovered that they had been victimized and sailed for France.Others, however, went west in pursuit of that ignis fatuus, the Catholic colony, and when their funds ran out had to be returned to their country by the French consuls.Prior to the re\u2018urn of these unfortunates, the last batch of which passed through Montreal in December, Delmas had conferred high honors on some others of the dupes he was sending out.One 8 carpenter named Adam, hs created auxiliary of St.Michel, with the ' grade of marshal of buildings and another named Robert he dabbed, a companion of the first clagg with joiot charge of construction in the new colony.Another named Toyonnier he created the Chevalier de la Toyonnier, and with these he rent nine musicians, who ' by paying & bandsome premium, were granted the sole privilege of giving performances in the new colony.These musiciang actually got as far as New York before they ascertained the fact that they had been victimized and were returned to France by the Frenck consul-general there.One of the crowning feats of the swindler, however, was that he actuaily Secured The Papal Benediction, for all investors in the enterprise, which proved an additional bait, but it is almost needless to add that none would have been more astonished than His Holiness the Pope, had he known the purpose the blessing was to serve.After ali the 60 francs bond that could be disposed of were sold, Delmas, at last, over matched himself by announcing the formation of another company to develop the resources of the new colony and to establish a line of steamships solely in its interest, between France and Canada, with a capital of four millions, In this scheme several capitalists became interested, but before paying in the money they had subscribed they delegated an agent to visit Canada for the purpose of visiting the new colony and reporting on the prospects of the pew line o steamships, This gentleman whose Montreal friends, under the circumstances do not wish to disclose his name, arrived in this city last August.He had letters of Introduction to Mr, J.B, Boivin, jeweler of 1578 Notra Dame- street, but this latter gentleman could give him no particulars of the new colony.To satisfy himaelf, however, of the full extent of the fraud, he went to Manitoba, but after & thorough search of the entire Northwest he failed to lccate even one of the towns which bad been so glowingly described tothe credulous Parisians, He returned to Montreal early in December and told Mr.Boivin how fruitless had been his mission.He then sailed for France shortly before Christmas.Immediately on his reporting at Paris the Chevalier Delmnis Was Arrested, for fraud, bat as his influential friends thought it was utterly impossible for such an eminent individual to be guilty of crime his release was promptly se eared on bail, but he disappeared from Paris immediately afterwards and with his flitting collapsed the golden dreams of thousands, Mr.Boivin has just received à report of bis trial, which went on the same a8 though he were present.Dozens of witnesses told how they had been robbed, and Delmas, be\" ing found guilty, was sentenced by default to three years\u2019 imprisonment and a fine of 5000 fraucs.A thorough searc : was instituted for the absconder by the French police, who recently sscured several letters from him which bora the Montreal post mark.This is why they think that he has been finally located, and that his arrest will again be accomplished.THE DAY AT THE CAPITAL.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The Minister of Justice Refuses to 8horten the Sentences of \u201cRoly\u201d

ace countant of the Ontario bank in Toronto, for defrauding the bank, was received some days ago.The JusticeDepartment after enquiring into the whole cage, have come to the conclugion that as no evidence has been presented why the semtence should be shortened, the Minister of Justice could pot advise that the sentence should be in'erfered with, \u201cRoly,\u201d as Moffat was familiarly called, was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary.About two years of the time have passed, and as Moffat is a good conduct prisoner, his sentence will soon expire.Mr.Metcalfe, M.P., presented

Electric Cars, À petition is being circulated among the Bpark-street merchants to have the city council compel the Ottawa Street Railway Company to remove the tracks from Spark-street to Wellington in case any change is made.The reason given is that the electric cars would Keep ye- hicles, particularly farmers\u2019, off Spark- street and thas injure trade.On the other hand it is claimed that the electric cars would rather benefit trade.One well known drygoods dealer says as far as the farmers are concerned they seldom shop with rigs, but put their horses up at the hotels.Four of the Jargest merchants have refassd to sign the petition and it said that several others who signed have had their names taken off.The matter will be fully dise cussed at a meeting Monday afternoon, May Be Able to

is in communication with'a relative in Arnprior with view to settling the defalcation bafore the matter comes up in court.This is the second postponement asked for and granted.The prisoner, it is said, feels his painfal position very acutely.Proposed Pacific Cable, The Imperial Government has assured the C.P.R.that they will subsidize a sub-marine cable between Vancouver and Japan by way of Unimak Island and the Aleutians.Efforts are being made in England to raise capital to construct the company.At present telegrams to Japan go via India and Singa- lon, cost $2.25 a word.By the proposed line the toll would be 75 cents, The South Pacific route via Australia will be abandoned.Referred to the Supreme Court.The Department of Justice was advised yesterday that certain acts of the Legislature of British Columbia which bad been declared ultra-vires of that body by decision of the Supreme Court ofthe province, have been referred by the Governor to the Supreme Court of Canada.This is the first reference under the amendment to the Supreme and Exchequer Court act passed last session, which provides that importans questions oflaw or fact, or those touching the constitutionality of legislation, may be refered by the Governor-in-Council to the Supreme Court for hearing or consideration.The act provides that the court shall then certify its opinion on the questions referred, which

regarding the Keewatin boundary.The point is this: The act defining the eastern boundary of Keewatin runs due north from the northeast corner of Manitoba boundary striking St.James Bay at or near Churchill.Over Keewatin Lieutenant-Goversor Bchultz has control, but east of this lineand north of the northern boundary of Ontario lies a triangular district where no Lieutenant Governor has control.Governor Schultz wants to receive ex-officio authority so that justices of the peace may be appointed and order maintained.Various Notes of Interest, Hon.J.A.Ouimet went to Montreal last

His Honer, the Recorder, \u201cBon jour Francois.\u201d The scene was the general offices of the Recorder's court; the speaker was his genial honors the Recorder, on the way to assume his teat on the bench, the scene of his judicial trials and trinmphs; the one to whom the remark was adressed was Francois Xavier, his honor\u2019s factotum, who was gathering up the books and papers in readiness for the opening of the day\u2019s proceedings.A moment later his honor was on the bench, Francois was in bis box, the \u201cunwashed\u201d had doffed their head gear, Clerk Forget had called the first case and the court was in full swing for the morning session.\u201cMary Riley, your Honor,\u201d said Francois by way of introduction, as a frail but buxom damsel of some 40 summers appeared in the pen.On Friday afternoon Mary had entered the City Hall and subsequently the police office, sadly under the influence of the cup that inebriates.The officer on duty knew Mary before; as a consequence she was immediately locked up.His Honor frowned on Mary and her explanation thatshe bad come to the station to avoid disgracing her friend the police matron did not avail, and she was sent down for six months in short order.William Henderson, the next culprit, was sent down, but only for 10 days, he not having a necessary $1 to pay for the privilege of being drunk on St.James- street.Lillie Anderson was the next to step to the front.She was accused of attacking men on St.Lawrence-street.His Honor was astonished and justly indignant at such a grave offence, and belore Lillie could open her mouth she was booked for a three months\u2019 sojourn at Valleeville.Wm.Brown, charged with being drunk and assaulting CO.Meunier, received a composite sentence of $8 or 25 days.He had the money and went on his way rejoicing, Then Melvin Breekly contributed $3, the penalty of going drunk to No.4 Police Station.James Brown, who then appeared, presented a sadly used up appearance.Drunk and disorderly on Island-street were the crimes marked down axainst him and $3 or one month for the drunk, and $10 or three months for the disorderly was what His Honor said, and it will be well along in the month of roses before William again [gniffs the air of freedom.James Clancey, on exactly similar grounds a8 Brown, was sent dowa for four months to keep him company, and the remaining 11 cases of the 17 on the sheet being mostly mild cases of simpla drunk were disposed of in the ordinary way after whicn the court retired and proceedings were suspended until this morning.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 DAYLIGHT BURGLARS.Daring Attempt to Open & Grocery Firm Safe, The premises of Messrs.Regan, White & Co., wholesale grocers of No.1 St.Helen-street, was the scene of a daylight burglary yesterday afternoon, The thieves were surprised while in the act of forcing the safe, notwithstanding which, however, they managed to make good their escape without being identified.In their hurried flight, however, they left their \u201ckit\u201d of tools behind which may serve as a clue to lead to their arrest.Shortly before 3 o\u2019clock the bookkeeper of the firm went down to see after something in the office.As he entered at the front he heard & noise in the back office, and on going to 1nvesti- gate he was only in time to see two men make their escape by the rear door.The police were immediately notified by telephone and Detective Arcand and Sergeant Dubois were quickly on the scene.It was then found that the burglars had obtained entrance by a gate on Lemoine street avd then forced the rear door of Messrs.Regan & White's premises.They had forced open a drawer in the office and obtained probably about $25 in cash and postage stamps.They then attacked the safe in such a workmanlike manner that proves them to have been professional cracksmen.Two holes had been bored through the door of the safe, one above and the other below the combinae tion, with the intention of either blowing or knocking it off.At this point, however, they were discovered and fled, but even had they succeeded in torcing tha safe they would have had nothing for their pains, as the firm banked all their money on Saturday.The thieves left behind a brace and bit, a set of drills, a piece of fuse, chisel and short jimmy, all of which are in the possession of the poe lice.It is the opinion of the detectives that a gang of professionals has struck the town, and so, the officers hope to give a good account of them before many days.SUDDEN DEATH OF A

Yesterday's Pastoral to the People.TORIES ARE DISAPPOINTED The Slanderers Are Strongly Denounced.NO NAMES ARE MENTIONED: Read the Lines Which Are Printed in Black Face Letters AND THEN VOTE; ACCORDINGLY.Some Important Utteranoes Regarding the Liquor Question\u2014Issued Under the Seal of the Archdiocese of the Province of Quebec Arguing Straight in Favor of Hon, Henore Mercier.For several days the boodle-fed organs of the Tory party had been hinting at a forthcoming joint pastoral letter fr.m the Cardinal Archbishop of Quebec and the archbishops, bishops and administrators of the ecclesiastical Provinces of Quebec and Montreal that was to denounce the Liberal party and be their death kne!l at the forthcoming provincial elections.No doubt the thought was father to the wish on the part of the Tories im so much as what they desired the contents of the pastoral to be.And now that the looked for pastoral has been read from the pulpits of the several Catholic churches throughout the city and province, though sorely disappointed, they will no doubt claim that it was just as they had anticipated, and make it as a ground work for many an article as te the denouncement of these awful Liberals by the church.Those who have heard the pastoral read, however know otherwise, for while strictly impartial from a political standpoint, as all such pronouncments of the courch should be, it will be found to hit the Tories severely and that, too, in one of their weakest spots.; First,in no measured terms it condemns bribing of every form, and heretofore bribery, and that of the most open and barefaced, has been one of the strongest tenets of Tory faith and gdependence with which to obtain and retain votes.Then, too, comes à paragraph which will likely sound most obnoxious to Tory ears, which says: \u201cHe (the devil) puts mto the mouth of those who do the speaking the most silly lies, the most atrocious abuse, the most hainous slanders, the blackest calumnies, the most unjust and the most scandalous charges.\u201d This will be a particularly hard mouthful for the new Government, their friends and spouters to swallow,for it tells as plainas words can the methods that have been adopted and used by the defunct Royal Commission and the DeBoucherville adminisiration since tbe day it was unconstitutionally pitched in= to power by His Honor, the Lieutznant« Governor of Quebec, .No doubt the organs will now make the best use of the pastoral that they possibly can.It is rot even impossible nor improbable that they might go so far as to gerble its readings.Such things have happened before, but to guard against it in this ire stance The Herald publishes the pastoral in full, as it was delivered in tke several Roman Catholic churches yesterday.The letter is the outcome of the combined wisdom and thought of the heads of the church in this province, and is worthy of the sincerest considera~ tion of the entire population, It reads as follows : PASTORAL LETTIR of the archbishops and administrators of the ecclesiastical Provinces of Quebec and Montreal, ordaining the faithfal observance of the laws made to ensure liberty and integrity of elections: We, by the grace of God and of the Apostolic See, the archbishops, bishops and administrators of the ecclesiastical Provinces of Quebec and Montreal.To the clergy, regular and secular, and to all the faithful of these dioceses, heaith and benediction in our Lord : Dearly Beloved Brethren : The Apostle £t.John, the well beloved disciple of Jesus Christ, gave to the faithful of his time an instruction which we deem it proper to place before you, so as to deepen and arouse in your souls sentiments of mutual charity and respect for God, which too many amongt you seem to forget at the elections, \u201cHe that loveth not,\u201d gays Sk John in bis *first ep'stle, Chap.IIL, \u201cabideth in ¢eath.\u201d hoever bateth his brother is a murderer, and you know no murderer hath eternal life abiding In himself (that is to say, is dead in the eyes of God.)

interested have no desire to come into prominence, therefore names are withheld.!The money necessary to ranthe clob ina proper manner has been d'a osited however, the constitution has been drafted, and everything is now in readiness for the first contest, which may take place within a few weeks.The new club will be run on the same basis as the Olympic of New Orleans, and bears the same name Premises have not been secured as yet but any affair which may be arranged during the next few months will take place in one of the halls, The management intend baving a fight at least every month and will offer purses according to the worth of the men.An effort will be made, to begin with, to have Hawkins and Lucie come together in a 10-round contest, and the fight between Duane and Black Frank will probably be pulled off also.The club, like in other cities, will be recognized by the authorities, and therefore there will be no interference, The Tug of War.The tug of war between the police

Supported by the Northwestern Clubs, Says The Columbian, published at New Westminster, B.C,: The efforts made by Mr.A.B.Mackenzie, while in the east, to have a team from the leading Canadian lacrosse clabs make a trip ag far west as the Pacific coast during the coming sumier, were heartily supported by many prominent lacrosse men in Toronto.The cost of such a scheme, however, is the great drawback to it, the chief difficulty lying with the rail give reduced rates to and the regular rates are so high that it is doubtful if the team could make expenges.Mr.Mackenzie's idea was to have the eastern team play through Manitoba and the Territories, and then come on to British Columbia; play the hree provincial clubs, make up a team {rom the three, and take in Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, San Francisco and other cities, playing exhibition games in each.\u201chis was a capital plan, and would prove very beneficial to the national game, if carried cut, but Mr.Mackenzie doses not + 3pect it to take form this year, though next year his labors may bear fruit,\u201d \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 TURE, the team, The Career of Foxhall Keene, the Cross Ceuntry Rider, Foxhall Keene, who was seriously injured while riding to hounds in Ireland a weak ago, 1s a wiry, well-built young man, 26 years old, about five fest eight inches high, and weighed 13S pounds when he sailed for England.He is as daring a rider as ever rode to the hounds.The country in Meath and the adjoining county, Westmeath, 18 a dangerous bunting country, as the fields are tall of blind ditches and holes.It would have to be a severe and quick stumble or fall to throw Fox- hall Keene in the manner described in the reports of the accident, agit is said that the horse fell on his knees ona level piece of ground, where his rider bad given him free rein, or his head.When he fell, Mr.Kneene was thrown many feet in front of the horse and struck on his head, breaking his nose and knocking out several of his taeth, He was picked up ia an unconscious c one dition, but uickly came round, and was reperied as being in a fair way of recovery.\u2019 Young Keene is well known as one of the best, if not the very best, gentleman rider ia America.He had a small stable on the turf in 1891 and had à fair share of success, although Tournament, for which he paid £35,000, proved a failure.He won races with Alonzo, Candelabra, Queenston, White Rose and others.He intended to devote his entire time to his racing stable this year, as he bad made it astrong one by the which showed high-class form.He made a number of purchases in Eng- iand at the Newmarket sales last Da- cember.rc Reared by Hand, \u201cAugur\u201d writes in London Sporting Life: \u201cSome of the best ranners ever known have been nourished from the milkpail The most notable instance, perhaps, was Beeswing, whose dam died shortly after her birth, and Mr.Orde hed a cow put apart for the use of the foal.Jemmy Watson, of Bells Isle, remembered her, and said that she would follow the dairymaid into the large Yorkshire kitchen and neigh for ber breakfast, being the pat of the placa.From the first Beeswing was a hard little lady, and she grew on to bo the pride of her owner, who scarcely liked to 8ee ber go offin due course to the training stable.Here she soon gave proofs,t hough, road companies, who are not inclined to: THE MONTREAL HERALD?that being nursed and patted had innoway damaged the constitution she had 1uner- ited from her sire, Doctor Synta;.She became the idol of Yorkshirs and Nor- thumberland, and in her mighty stru:- gles with Lamercost on Newcast:e Moor, nobles, citizens and pitmen joined in delirious excitement whenever the bonny mare won.TLen she must be regarded a8 the first mare of the \u2018Stud Book\u2019 s8 the dam of Newminster ; and so when some little orphan colt or filly is seen drinking cow's milk with an aptitude very pleasing to the groom who has arranged the wholesome meal, thers is a consolation in knowing that Bees- wing, the stoutest mare of her day, and the greatest brood mare, was so sas- tained as a little one.\u201d Again : \u201cI notice that Her Majesty\u2019s Stud has lost the valuable mare, Bonns Bouche, by Macaroni, her dam Cauldron, by Newminster, in foaling, and that her banling has been saved, and will be reared by hand.This is apropos tomy remarks of yesterday about bringing up such little orphans, and I am reminded by a correspondent that Lord Falmouth was a great believer in foals from nearly all mares being helped intheir early growth through the aid of cow\u2019s milk, and Bowman, his lordship's stud groom, pow in charge of Mr.Greenall\u2019s establishment, was also a great advocate of the cow as an assistant, My correspondent insists, though, oun one cow being kept for one or two colts, no change of milk, and that she should be fad on much the same stuff as the mare, crash ed oatsin particular.On no accoun should such a cow be turned sut 0 young Spring grass if there 18 any, an l Ler milk is best to begin with about tw months after she has calved.\u201d \u2014_\u2014 RING, Sullivan Bas Not Agreed to Fight Peter Maher, New York, Feb.13.\u20141t was eaid yesterday that John L.Sullivan had agreed to fight Peter Maher before the Metro politan Club of New Orleans, provided that Maher defeats Fitzsimmons in the Olympic Club on March 2.It is claimed that the Metropolitan Club has offered a purse of $35,000 for the bout, and the New York representative of that club told a Sun reporter yesterday that the program had been completed.The arrangements were made quietly, the Metropolitan\u2019s representative said, but word received just before he saw the reporter satisfied him that both men had signed articles, and that there could be no doubt about the making of the match conditionally on Maher's beating Fitz, It was also said that Sullivan signed in Chicago on Feb.9,and Maher on Wednesday last.Maher was at his training quarters at East Hampton when visited by the agent of the Metropolitans.When the suggesticn was put to Billy Madden, Maher's manager, Madden a; cnce agreed, and said he was willing to put his name to paper any time, Sullivan had demanded that there should be a side bet of $10,000, and Madden agreed to that, too, saying: \u201cWhy, we have a forfeit of $5000 up now to make a match with the champion for $10,000 a side, and that money will go.\u201d The time of tbe match wi:l be about three months aftsr John L.concludes his engagement with a theatrical combination, which will be in June.Madden said that the champion could select his own date, because he is the chan- pion.Despatches from Leavenworth, where the big fellow ig showing, differ as to what action John has taken toward making the match.One says that \u201cJohn L.Sullivan smiled when he read that Maher wanted to meet him, and remarked that it would be a cinch for him.\u201d Another despatch made it that Sullivan denied that he had signed with Maher, and denounced the whole story.\u201cIt\u2019s & \u2018bloody lie\u2019 made out of whole cloth,\u201d said be.\u201cI

name has its attraction to many.The history of our ancestors, whichever part of the old werld was the Cradle of our race, shows a coniinnal conflict going on between the forces of liberty and despotism, between the wishes of the people and the monarchical and aristocratic party.As the forces of liberty waxed stronger and gradually triumphed we find them ever asseciated with the name of Liberal, while the forces of the reactionary party gathered urder the banners of Toryism or Con.gervatism, In Canada, at the present time, party names have lost much of their significance, and yet historical association and the natural bent of a free and liberty loving psople should incline the bulk of the electorate to the Liberal gide.The fact that the Conservatives have held almost uninterrupted sway in the Dominlon House of Parliament for so many years, and that the result of the recent parliamentary by-elections have in almost every cage gone against the Liberal party, should therefore give rise to reflectionn What has the Liberal party done to lose its hold upon the Aff:ction of the people ?What has it left undone that it is deprived of the faith of its natural supporters?The fact that the country under Conservative control is making no progress, that its population is almost stationery, that its trade with foreign countries does not increase, and that the only portions of the national balance sheet that show a continual growth are the amount of the national debt, and the cost of government, does not fieem to inspire the distrust for Tory rule that one might expect.Perhaps the fault is in our program.Perhaps we are pursuing too much of a mere policy of negation and the cry \u201cagin the Government\u201d is not of itselt sufficient to arouse apy enthusiastic support.It is certain that the possession of office puis a vast Tower at the service of the Government and that it has been used most un- Bcrupulously to assist the election of supporters, but something more than boodle has been at work to enable the Conservative party, in spite of the loss of its ablest chief and the late scandal.cus revelations &s to its leaders, to march on from victory to victory.Tis scrength is not caused by 2uy enthusiasm for the party program, for its policy is merely one of expediency, without promise or principle.TLe national policy is falling into disrepute and a good many of its provisions are mow recognized by by the people as most atrocious in- ptences of the worst features of c aes legislation.Its hold on the paople is daily growing weaker; but at all events it is a common platform on which all sections of the parly can meet and agree to sink minor differences.It glves its supporters at least an intelligible cry, a cry that can be understood by the most Ignorant portion of the electorate.What can we show in opposition to it ?It is the want of 8 common rallying cry that has been one of the principal causes of cur late defeats.For the want of 1t we have fallen too much into the hands of local and sectional parties, and many of our contests have been fought out on such side shows, losing sight altogethar of the great national issues involved.Our leaders would do well it they took some of these lessons to heart.Let them formoulste distinct planks for the graat Liberal platform such as shall ap- pealto the intelligence and common sense of the electors.Let them give us à shoit catechism or A.B.C.of Liberalism so that each voter may be able to give a correct and definite account of the faith that is in him, The giant we bave to fight against is the great and gory N.P., or high protection.The most logical and direct contrast to this would be a policy of frèe trada, or tariff for revenue only and on this platform it Would not be dific lt to persuade the great bulk cf the nation to reasse nble, and tke opposition could so plainly be shownto be inspired by self interest that it wou!d lose much of its value.Not quite go direct or logical a method,though still effective, would be a policy of tariff reform; but unless our leaders specifically agree upon the daties to be swept away, those to be reduced, and tose to bs maintained, the cry of \u201ctariff reform,\u201d lacks the definitness and completeness necessary to appeal to the popular imagination.By its very uncertainty it might arrayi nterests against us that should be in our favor.Then we have the two cries of unrestricted re ciprocity and restricted reciprocity, and it either of these is to be the battle horse its meaning must be so fully explained that no mistake can be made, These are the four principal weapons on which the Ligh protection principle may bs met.Any one of them might prove suc- versful, | ut at present ag guem to ba try.ng to fight with the tour at once and the r-snlt is disappaist'nz.Patriots, and especially patriotic Liberals have often lound in defeet the stepping stone to victory, and if our recent disappnint- ments are the means of giving definite- nets to our counc: ls and directness to cur aims; if from this forward our candidates are encouraged to stand by the program instead of coquetting with side intereats, gaining the votes of half a dozen cranks here and there, and at the same time exciting the distrast of hundreds, we shall have no reason to regret the Liberal Waterloo of Feb.11, 1892.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE BISHOPS\u2019 MANDEMENT ON ELECTIONS, The united pastoral, or mandement, of the Bishops of the Province of Quebec, on the duty of faithful children of the church in elections, proves intensely dis\" appointing to the Tory party.With the purblindness that is one of the chief characteristics of the party, they had imagined that the church would depart from the traditions of centuries in order to give them support, and their feelings may be imagined when they find that their own lapses from the ways of truth and honesty are just as severely dealt with as those of anyother party.Infactto all good Liberals the falminations of the church seem directed chiefly against the Tories, because, ag they well know, the bribery, corruption and intimidation which with them may be counted only as accidental accessories are, with the Torles, the mainstays of their political power.The pastoral cats the ground right from under the Conservative feet, and the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in some of their meeting places would lead one to believe that he had got into the wrong train and taken the direct line to Sneol.It will be very advantageous to the Liberal cause if the Liberal papers take care to publish the mandement far and wide.There are many simple, faithful souls, who have voted the Conservative ticket for years, who will recognise how much they have been deceived and who, for the first time in their lives, will be encouraged to throw an honest and unbiased ballot.The Bishops have shown themseves too astute to be led into the Tory trap, and their red hot shot is poured into all who seek to debauch the electorate by fraud, bribery, falsehood or trickery, and not, a8 was hoped, only into the Liberal party.All they ask for is a fair, honest, open expression of the people\u2019s opinion, and that is just what the Liberal party will never feel under the least dread about.\u2014>#- THE \u201cUNco\u2019 GU\u201d again threaten to pester the City Council with their impracticable proposals this afternoon, These modern Pharisees attempt to impose upon our legislators with their unctuous platitudes, and would persuade them that the saloon {s an institution imposed upon us by hostile legislaticn, and that the bulk of the population are anxious for their abolition.They know well enough that the day public opinion should veer round to their point of view the saloons would close of their own accord, for no one would be found willing to carry them on for the mere fun of the thing.The ~ttempt it imrose-ou Montreal any part of the ghastly dullness of a Toronto Sabbath should be resented tooth and nail.TEE AMERICAN PRESS is not very complimentary to our commission to Washington, and, in fact, calls it by many ugly names, such as \u201cbogus commig- sion,\u201d &e.Where they make a mistake is in imagining that this commission, issued solely for the purpose of throwing dust in the eyes of Canadians, is in reality sent to Washington in British icterests.These Zanies of the American press, like our own Tory confreres, have not yet learnt that Britain is their best customer and pays cash for everything she buys.In fiscal and economic matters they still range about on the same scale as the chiefs we real abou in Stanley\u2019s Darkest Africa.a Br.GABRIEL'S MAY Le called the \u201cBaby Ward,\u201d but there is not much sign of childishness about it.It has seized upon the opportunity afforded by the new levee to obtain a pablic park of about twelve acres that willin time be the envy of the city, Its direct view over the river and exposure to 1t4 cooling breezes will make Et.Gabriel Park a favorite place of resort, and as soon as it is opens ed we expect to ses a direct line of cara from the Post Office to the park that will, in the summer season, be one of the best paying lines.rere Ir IS FORTUNATE that the corporation had backbane enough to resist the demand of the McGill C llege authorities for

an acceptable amusement to Linety-nine per cent.of the world.Those who disapprove of it ar» uFUaliy these Who know the least aboat it, and they sometimes work tneinzelves up into a fury, putting on their re 1 paiau sud featbers to fight an evil that cnly exists in their own imagination, fur they exemplify the French motto, Hon ui soit qui mal pense.Dancing is not only an amusement unsurpassed in atiractive- Less, but it 18 & healthfal exercise wh ca \u2018 Las restored the weakened physical powers of many & man and Woman,wh le as a means of diverting the mind and, resting the weary brain it has no equal.! Children dance from infancy, and what | is this but Nature\u2019s own endorsement?Preminence has Jlavely been given to an attack upon darcing made | by a minister, who imputes serious moral evils to the practice of round dancing.Butit is hard to see how it can be anv more pernicious than for two persons to be together in a walk, or during an evening call, orat any othr time or place.If the intentions are not honorable there is always risk of the dreaded hand finding ita way aroun the lady\u2019s walst, and many of the game that are substituted for dancing are muc more open to the charge of immorality than is this pastime which is partic - pated in within the view of others, know what I am talking aboat, by many ministers who condemn the art »f dancing cannot say the same thing, A à dancing master I have pupils of all religious denominations, and the only ev that I observe is that children are som »- times driven to deceive their parents, and take lessons on the sly on account of the opposition to the amusement.I sometimes ask myself, if dancing is the evil thing some would make it out t be, why is it that the 700 or 800 children, ranging from three to 16 years of age, that attend my schools, enjoy the poetry of motion and the winning dance with such evident pleasure.Then I obsarve that the 1000 adults that yearly pass through my hands will not dance with the opposite sex unless they are good dancers.This would not be the case if squeezing was the desired object rather than dancing.If it is true that dancing was confined t» fallen women thousands of years ago, that is no argument for this enlightened ago in which woman has been elevated and given some measure of liberty to think and act for herself.We know that dancing was a religious rite among the early Hebrews and many other pations, and we know that the most virtuous people now dance and that great bappiness often is brought about by a dancing party.If dancing was considered a wrong form of amusement, it was chiefly owing to the early priestho.d, and they doubtless discountenanced it for the reason that they may have seen in it a formidable competitor against their observances.It is certain that those who dance show more respect for the opposite gex and excel in the art of deportment; and young men are mors apt to keep away from saloons and billiard rooms when they are accepted at a lady\u2019s house and can take part in making otbers happy during a pleasant evening.Ladies who hear such tirades against dancing know that they are false and that gentlemen do not take advantage of them as represented, and the men who are termed rowdies are often whiter im mind and heart than their denouncers.All ministers are not opposed to dancing.I have a sermon by a Methodist preacher who said that he saw no harm in dancing, aod he supposed the reason why he Lad not learned was becauze his fest were too large, and that well-known and much admired gentleman, the late Dr.Stafford, once denounced card-playing, but after 40 years ignorance of cards played a game of whist, and he found it such a pleasure that he condemned it.If the ministers would dance themselves and participate with others in the poetry of motion, they would agree with all the world and myself that dancingshould be the most honored of pleasures.A clear mind and good conscience with love for music will never be corrupted by a pleasure so openly enjoyed as dancing.I thank you, Mr, Editor, for giving me so much of your valuable space, and I hope no one will think from anything that I have said that I am an antagonist to Christianity.I only wish to advocate the gaining of knowledge by experience as essential to the utterance of an ins'ructive discourse.I only regret that my tongue and pen are not as nimble as my feet, that I might the better urge ministers to confine their remarks to the things they know, and to ask them and all who are inclined to be censorious to give dancing a practical trial before they condemn it.A.Ror Macpoxavp, JR BLAINE THE INTERNATIONAL CITY.CATEWAY OF 2 CREAT NATIONS © WHERE COMMERCE © MOVES WITH TIDE AND RAIL.Send to the nasdersigned for maps and pame hlets which will inform yon about Blaine, Bogor Sound and the new state of Washington.Blaine the future Metropolis, Popu~ lation 1889, 75;

Dripping may be used.Chop the cold potato into dice, fry in the same way with a little more butter and some shallots and parsley chopped fine, mixed with the potato, and you have potato lyonnaise.They are nice fried on a griddle.Some oooks dip the round slices of cold potato in egg (yelk and white beaten together) and thon in fine bread crumbs before they fry on the griddle in lard and butter.These are very dainty and good.It is advisable to fry until they are surely tender within.Test with a straw.MINCED POTATOES.Potato minced and then flavored with salt and pepper, moistened with a little cream or milk and melted butter heated in a skillet and then left to brown for a few minutes (five or ten), makes browned hash.An easier way to brown the hash is to heat it in a sauce-pan and then turn it into the buttered pan.It can be browned on top of the stove or in the oven.This is a delicious dish and not difficult to prepare.The hash must not be swimming in milk, but simply be moistened; it is bash, not stew.Onions or parsley may be added to taste, and some people like the flavor of celery salt in the hash.SLICED AND BAKED.Another toothsome preparation of cold potatoes is to slice them in thick slices or cut them in long quarters, dip them in melted butter that has been salted and peppered; then dip them in flonr and bake them in the oven for ten or fifteen minutes.A hot oven is required.A SIMPLE METHOD OF MASHING, The simplest form of mashed potatoes is made by taking hot boiled potatoes, mashing and mingling them with cream and but- tor until the mass assumes the right consistency, which varies with the individual taste.Then salt and pepper, and the dish 4s ready and by no means to be derided.Sometimes this mash is mashed with a machine, of which there are many good ones in the market, and any one of them will make home happy for from 25 cents to $L Almost always the texture is improved by whipping the mash with an egg-beater.An air of importance may be given this simple dish by merely brushing the top with tae bread crumbs and bits of butter, or, better, drops of melted butter.POTATO CROQUETTES.fo make à perfect potato croquette you must have your mixture as moist as an artist can handle\u2014which is about three times as moist as the ordinary cook can manare, which, again, is why the ordinary 6.11 am Dec 20 .\u2026\u2026.\u2026.Adriatic.\u2026.Ji.13.9 pm Jan 6 .*leutonic.Jan 2), 10 {0am Jan 13 +.Britannic.Jan 27, 2 pm *Majestic.\u2026\u2026.Yeb 3,10 am Germania.® *Teutonic, .2 \u201cs.\u20260u*Teutonice.\u2026.Mar 16, 3 pis 9 sr.Britannie,.,, Mar 25, 1 30pr Mari6 .*Majestic .,.Mar 30,8 pm Saloon Rates\u2014$50 and v \"wards according to accommodations and steame* selected.Return tickets at reduced rates, *Superior second cabin accommo.ation on.these steamers, Second Cabin Majestic and Teutonic, $35 and $40.For sailings 2 and 18, $40 and $45, Steerage Tickets through from Montreal to Europe at low rates, For further information and passage appl H.Maitland Kersey, 29 Broadwsy , New York, B.¥.Coghttn, 364 8t.Paul street, Montreal, Wm.F.Egg.C.P.R, Ticket Agent, 266 St.James street.INMAN LINE ROYAL MAIL STEAMERS FOR QUEENSTOWN AND LIVERPOOL Carrying the United State Mail, PROPOSED SAILINGS: From New York 1892 or and City of Paris,.Wed.Jan 6, 16.30 a m City of Berlin.* \u201c 20, 9.308 m City of Chester.* \u201c 27, 3 pm City of Chicago.,.* Feb 3, 9 um City of Berlin.,.* \u201c17, 40a wm City of New York.,.\u201c24, 2831p m City of Chicago.\u2018 Mar 2, 8 au Rates ot passage, JF0, 380 and $100, accortin: te accomncodation, all having equal zaloor privileges.Children between 2 aud 12 years of age hal fare.Servancs;
