Stand er Mall With Their Ola Policy\u2014Yesterday in the House.OrTAWA, March 23.\u2014Hon.Mr.Laurier was asked to-day by The Herald corres pondent it he would have any objection to saying if there would be any change in the policy oi the party in view of Mr, Foster's declarations respecting the negotiations at Washiugton.\u201cCertainly not,\u201d replied the leader o\u2019 the Opposition.\u201cThe Liberal party is to day as strongly wedded to reciprocity, that is to better trade relations betweeu the United States and Canada, as ever they were, and we are as confident of being able to secure the same as ever We were in the past.\u201d \u2018But what about the statement by Mr.Foster?\u201d \u201cWe have no confidence in Mr, Foster a8 a diplomat, and evidently he had no confidence in himself of being able to do justice to Canada when he solicited the aid of Mr, Blaine.\u201d The Liberals claim that the ministers did not want reciprocity and did not make their effort in an honest spirit.\u201cMr.Blaine hag yet to be heard from,\u201d said one Liberal, \u201cand not until then will we know exactly what did take place, In the meantime I can\u2019t believe that the door is shut to us against securing bei~ ter trade relations with the States.\u201d DOINGS IN THE HOUSE YESTERDAY, German\u2019s Right te His Seas Contested\u2014No American À bbatoir ter Montreal, Av ne opening of this afternoon sess sion it was decided to adjourn from Thursday until Monday, owing to Friday being Annunciation Day.Colonel Tisdale rising to à question of privilege proceeded to comment upon the Welland election case, indicating that he intended to attack Mr.German\u2019s ighttositin the House, pending the appeal in his case to the Supreme Court.He recited the circumstances of the election trial and disqualification of Mr.German as well as of the appeal to the Supreme Court.He contended that appeal from the judgment voiding the election could not give Mr.German the right to sit im the House as he had done, the court having declared the seat vacant.He moved a lengthy resolution reciting the facts, and declaring that as the seat is vacant the Housado order the #L@aker to issus his warrant for a new election in the constituency of Welland.Mr.Laurier asked whether Col.Tigdale had notified Mr.German of his intention to move in this matter and upon receiving a reply in the negative urged that discussion of the motion should be adjourned in order to allow members generally to acquaint themselves with the facts.Sir John Thompson stated that it was the custom to allow such questions of privilege to stand for at least 24 hours and the debate was adjourned upon his suggestion.Sir Jobn Thompson presented the annual report upon penitentiaries.Mr.Haggart promiged to lay on the table the report of the Royal Commission on the Trent Valley canal.A big deputation to urge completion of the work is expected here on Friday.In answer to Mr.Somerville, Mr.Carling stated that the Department of Agriculture had purchased 2000 bound volumes of the Dominion Iliustrated at one dollar per volume trom the Sabiston Lithograpbic Company for immigration purposes and which were distributed in news rooms, railway stations, ete.in Great Britain.Mr, Bowell, replying to Dr.Sproule, said that no order had been issued by the Department to any person giving leaveto establish an abbatoir in Montreal for tbe slaughtering of American live ca:tie for export.A number of motions for unimportant retarns were carried among them one in reference to the management of the post- office at St.Cesaire, Que., which provoked the unusnal spectacle of a speech in French from Mr.Laurier who but seldom uses his mother tongue in Par- D i tilated the gri r.Perry again ventila e grievance of the Prince Edward Islanders respecting the proposed tunnel under the Northumberland Straits.He was followed by Mr, Yeo and Mr, Davies, who supported the demand that the question should be setiled one way or the other.He protested against the continned dangles of the tunuel scheme as an election bait before the voters of Prince Edward Island.Hon.Mr.Foster declined to discuss the question, Mr.Patterson made his debut ag Secretary of State by presenting two returns apd the House rose for dinner.After recess the following private bills were read a second time and referred to committees : To amend the act to incorporate the Echool Savings Bank, Desjar- dns (Hochelaga) ; Respecting the Lake Manitoba Railway and Canal Company, Boss.(Lisgar) , Respecting the Canadian Pacife Railway Company, (Kirkpatriek); Respeeting the Alberta Railway and \u2018on! Company, Curran ; Respecting the St.Catharines and Niagara Central Railway Company, Carpenter; Respecting the Bell Telephone Co.of Canada, Curran ; Mr.Flint moved the second reading of his bill to amend the Canada Temperance Act, as the Scott Act was only in force 1 31 counties in the whole Dominion.The technical amendments proposed by Mr.Flint are of little general intexest.His object Was to restrict tke power of druggists to sell liquors, but at the same time relieving him from the penaities prescribed for selling certain patent medicines.The bill was read a second time.Mr.Bennett then resumed the budget debate making his maiden speech and receiving considerable applanse from his friends.Mr, McMullen repeated the belief car~ rent among the Liberals that the mission to Washington was made not with the idea of securing reciprocity, but rather with the object of preventing it.They would, however, find that the people of this country would not be deluded by any such trick.He pointed to the illimitable market, which tbe United States offered to Canadian farmers whose condition was most deplorable and who were determined to secure a wider market for their products.The McKin'ey Bill had frosen the Canadian farmers out of the American market and they were compelled to send thelr goods to the slaughter market of Great Britain.Mr, McMullen gave the first inkling of the result of the opposition cau- ous to-day when he unhesitatingly declared that the Liberals were not going to abandon the poliey of unresticted reciprocity.They would notgo on their knees to the United States to ask for reciprocity but they would give a full re ciprocity for compensating advantages unlike the Government who desired to save their monopolies from destruetion.The Liberals would hang their fate upor the policy of unrestricted reciprocity to which they clung with union and tenacity and which would yet be adopted.That was how they were going to fight itoutand they would not be scared into the adoption of any other policy.The Government had nailed its colors to the mast upon the policy of restriction.The Liberals were determined to cling to their principles until they were saceess- ful.Their colors also were nailed to the mast, They were there and there to stay.They would never stop their endeavors until they had secured to the people of this country the relief of which they stand so much in need.Hughes who defeated Barron followed in his maiden speech using the old arguments, and Semple moved the adjournment of the debate at 11:10 p, m, NOTES OF THE SESSION.The Duke of Connancht\u2019s Flag te Figure in Parllament\u2014The Penitentiary Report.Orrawa, March 23.\u2014The Herald\u2019s article this morning on the Duke of Con- naughts flag has attracted considerable attention bere and Dr.Landerkin has put a question to the Government upon the subject.The ridiculousness of the party which so loudly howls for the old ag taxing the new flag is apparent on all sides, and is likely to yet canse eon- siderable amusement in the House.The Indemnity for Seals.In tke Senate this afternoon Hou, Mr.Read, of Quinte, asked the Government if the Britisa or the Canadian Government is to bear the expense of indemnifying the British sealers for damages sustained after being warsod againet killing seals on the high sea last year.Mr.Abbott replied, \u201cThis matter has | been under discussion between the twa Governments, more or less, since the date at which the order was made for the restriction of the killing of seals last year.The correspondence is not now in à position to be brought down, aod I am not in a position to state exactly the conditions of the negotiation, but i daresay the hon.gentleman can decide for himself the position which the Canadian | Government has taken.Anpeyed at The Globe, Le Canada states this evening that it \u2018is rumored that Mr.David Mills will in consequence of the decent declaration of theGlobe in favor of theDaltonMcCartby, Northwest bill, take the earliest oppor-~ tunity of declaring that the Globe does not in any way represent the Liberal party, and is net in any way auth orized to speak 1n the name of that party.There is no doubt that the French members of the party are much incensed at the Globes article.The Penitentiaries Report.The 16th annual report of the Inspector of Penitentiaries, presented to-day, shows the number of convicts imprison ed to be: Kingston 586; 8t.Vincent de Paul 350; Dorchester 169; Manitoba 71; British Columbia 73.Kingston hag also 24 female prisoners.The decrease on the year is two.and the deaths were 16.Only three escapes took place during the ear.Mr.Moylan deals at considerable ength with the present labor problem, and the reform of criminals, The affairs of St Vincent de Paul continues, says the reporter, to be well conducted and the conduct of the conviets has been remarkably good.The Protestant chapel is becoming crowded and its enlargement is suggested and the inspector also advises that the use of electricity be substituted for ceal oil for lighting purposes.Warden Onimet reports the daily cost of maintemance of the convicts to be six cents per capita.Value of Newfoundiand's Trade.The extent of our trade imperilled by the Government's fiscal quarrel with Newfoundland is proved by a return presented to-day, which shows that ia 1890 and 1891, the value of agricultural goods exported from Canada to the Island to bave been : 1890.1881.FIOUT Lo.spear wonvoneonnenns $06,344 $468,409 Cattle .» 80,459 si Beef 11,683 12,171 Pork .12,448 2,596 Cheese.oovvviviinnenienannes 12,777 9,104 ;COMPULSORY VOTING, Mr.Amyot Re-introduces His Bill of Last Session, Orrawa, March 23 \u2014Col.Amyot gives notice of bis intention to re-introduce his bill, defeated last year, to make voting compulsory, It provides that \u201c every elector whoge name is registered on the \u2018ist of voters, unless be bas a valid and sufficient excuse, shall appear at the polling station of his electoral division where be is entitled to vote, in order to apply for and receive a ballot paper and exercise his franchise according to-law ;

WiNNiNPEG, March 23.\u2014Canadian Pacific strize was settled here to-day the reconciliation being brought about by a delegation of company's locomotive engineers who for two or three days have been endeavoring to restore peace, The terms of settlement agreed upon were these : All men who have been discharged and who have gone on strike also any employee who has been discharged for refusing to take the place of any striker or who has voted to strike to be reinstated without prejudice, If it can be shown to the committee of engineers, who have mediated between tne company and the trainmen that aay of the strikers commit:ed an assault apon any official of the road, he to be dismissed.This to apply tte Pacific and Eastern division as well as the Western division.A committee of five engineers, namely, A.Kennedy, W.J.Watson, A.Broach J.Brownlee and C.Pope, to settle the points on which the trainmen and the company differed.That the arrangement between the general superintendent of the Pacific division and the trainmen, that the rates on the Western division are to be taken as those on the Pacific division, is to be carried out, unless in the meantime the trainmen and the general superintendent of the Pacific division have already settled the matter.Throughout this strike the engineers have been endeavoring to act as peacemakers and to bring about a satisfactory and honorable settlement.From the ' inauguration oftbe strike they have never wavered in their loyalty to company bat have worked diligently to bring about an amicable snd satisfactory settlement.This is probably the first case of a railroad strike settled in such a manner and the terms of settlement indicate in what } high esteem both parties hold the em- gineers, To-night trains departed with regular conductors and train crews, and everything is now running smoothly.Both sides are willing to await the decision of the engineers, haying full eonfidence in their fairness.Great satisfaction is generally expressed at the happy and early settlement of the difficalty.Many expressions of compliment to the engineers are heard\" FROM THE SEAT OF WAR, Men Roturned te Their Work at Winnipeg Yesterday Afternoea, Wirxmirea, March 23.\u2014Itis currently reported that the big strike on the Canadian Pacific Railway is practically over and the men are returning to work.Neither party seems inclined to state exactly the present position of affairs, but it is understood that the locomotive engineers who have taken no partin the trainmens strike, tendered their good offices, last night, towards the settlement of the dispute and their offer was accepts ed by the company.If this be true it is more than likely that the difficulty will be brought to a speedy finish during the afternoon.This is said to be the first case of the settlement of such a strike in guch a manner, and it speaks well of the estimation in which both parties hold the engineers.Later\u2014The strike hag been declared off, and the men are returning to work.NEWS FROM THE WEST.The Special Police Will be Home by the Soo Express.FROM THE HERALD SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.Norru Bay, Ont, March 23.\u2014Arrived

Haul From Armstrong.SUGQGHSTED AN BNQUIRY \u2014 He Was Promised a Legislative Councillor- ship as a Reward, and Mr, DeBoncher- ville May Resign if He Boes Not Get it\u2014 A Very Interesting Stery from Quebec; x Quæsec, Marck 23.\u2014 An intimate friend of Mr, Owen Murphy tells the following story which Mr.Murphy himself will be he says prepared to corroborate if ra- quired, It may prove interesting to those of your readers who like to peep behind the sceres.It is very rurprising that Mr.Murphy did not get the seat in the council said this gentleman for if there is a man to whom the Conservative party should be grateful it is Mr.Owen Murphy.A fact not generally known is that Mr.Murphy was the organizer of the movement which lead to Mercier's downfall.Mr.Murphy had heard incidentally from Armstrong and others that a large sum of money had been laid hold of by Messrs.Charles Langelier and Ernest Pacaud.He discovered through the banks certain suspicions transactions dope by this gentlemen, got wind of the Valliere deal and several others.Towards the same period he entered into commue nication with Mr.L.Pelletier and Mr.Chas.Fitzpatriek.In fact these three gentlemen acted together throughout.On one occasion Mr.Murphy crossed over to the Island et Orleans to find out .what Fitzpatrick knew but discovered that the latter's information was not as accurate as was his own; nevertheless one seemed to corroborate the other as to the role played by Pacaud and Chas.Langelier, At that time Mr.Murphy supposed that Mesers.Pacaud, Langelier and others had divided the money between them, each taking $10,000.He repaired to Ottawa end communicated what he had discovered to Senator J.J.Ross, who in turn told it to the Ministers.Mr.Murphy predicted beforehand that the evidence that would be produced would suffice to oust Mercier from power.He at the time, however, knew nothing of the Langais deal and of one or two other Mercier transactions.Finally, the Government consented to the Senate investigation of which the result is known.In acting in this way Mr.Murphy remarks that he violated no confidence, that Mercier and his friends had never shown him any, and that he was per- feetly free to act as he chose.He had several times put Mr.Mercier on his guard against certain of his Ministers, and he claims to have been the prime factor in the withdrawal of Mr.James McShane from the Cabinet.When Mr, Murphy found that matters in Quebec were turning out as he had foreseen : © suggested to Mr.J.J.Ross tnat!e Boucherville should be called to form an administration.His name, he said, would be a tower of strength, and he would rally the clergy to the Conservative standard.The battle having been fought and won Mr.DeBouchervilie sent two gentlemen to Mr.Murphy to express the gratitude the Premier felt at the immense service Mr.Murphy had rendered bim in bringing back the Conservatives to power and offering him a seat in the legislative council if be thought it a sufficient recognition, Mr.Murphy answered that he was quite satisfied, that he bad acted on principle throughout.Some time after, Mr.De Boucherville sent for Mr.Murphy, and in presence of Mr.J.J.Ross and of Mr.L.P.Pelletier, renewed his offer of a seat in the council.At that time there was a question of Hon.John Hearn coming out in Quebec West, and it was thought that Murphy might induce him to do it Mr.Da Boucherville and Mr.Ross remarked that it John Hearn withdrew from the council there was no reason for not naming Murphy immediately in his place.Bir Adolphe Caron had frequent interviews with Mr.Murphy concerning the Quebec West election which he was extremely anxious to win.It was at Sir A.P.Caron\u2019s request that Mr.Murphy made himself responsible for Mr.John Hearn\u2019s election and undertook the whole organization.Some time after the election Sir Adolphe called at Mr.Murphy's to renew his thanks.* Murphy,\u201d he said, \u201c our friends at Ottawa are overjoyed, can we do anything for you.\u201d \u201c Not at present, thank you,\u201d said Mr, Murphy.* Is everything all right in Quebec,\u201d said Sir Adolphe, alluding to the seat in the council.\u201c Yes, I believe it is,\u201d said Murphy.\u201c Well,so do 1,\u201d returned Caron, \u201cI bave been speaking to the Ministers about it and all seems right.\u201d After this ccmversation Mr.Murphy was appointed to the vacant seat for Stadacona in the Legislative Council.But at the last moment there was a bitche Mr.Murphy and bis friends do not yet know exactly where it comea from, but they jhink that De Boucherville is sincere and that if Mr.Angers prevents him from redeeming his word he will resign as Premier.\u2014_\u2014\u2014

Matoh Te-Morrow Night\u2014Otta- wa Bowling sod Billiard Teams\u2014Why Schaefer Was Defeated by Frank Ives for the Billard Championship\u2014Trettiag and Miscellancens, Montrealers who were interested in Mitchell and Slavin during their sojourn here last week, will, no doubt, be anxl- ous to learn the true story of the squabble between Charley and Jim Corbett, in New York, on Monday night, and the following facts are taken from The San.The repert goes on to say that after Mitchell, Frank Slavin and his two brothers had imbibed tresly, they went to Miners Theatre where Corbett Was to appear and were Fe fused a box, A few moments before Corbett entered the honse, Mitahell and his party returned, clad in reefer jackets, and, it was said, \u201carmed for a row,\u201d Mi: ckeil having boasted in am up-town saioon that he was going \u201cto do Corbett.\u201d Sbudry visits to the bar placed \u201cEngland\u2019s boxirg champion\u201d in fighting trim, and on she entrance of Corbett Mi.- chell rushed up to the Americas, applying tke viless epithets, causing Corbest to finally say: \u201cGo away, [don't want - row with a drunken mam.\u201d To this Mitchell returned hearty curses and squared off.Corbett then wens into the theatre.Mitcnell paid for seats and aleo went in.He accused Corbett of taking away his match with Sallivan and other engagements.Intense excitement at once prevailed.Manager Moore sent for the police, fearing \u201ca stampede of the house,\u201d as he put it.\u201cPunch him, Jim.\u201d \u201cStand your ground,\u201d and Various otber encouraging cries were hurled at the American, Finally they were pushed out into the lobby.At last Corbett said: \u201cI can\u2019t stand this any longer,\u201d and started to get at the cursing Englishman, He made one powerful swirg as Mitchell, which fall short.The sbouts of the crowd and Corbetts apger seemed §o seber Mitchell, and ne made up bis mind that it was about time to get away.He deshed out of the theatre and ran up the Bowery.Corbett ran after him, but soon returned to his work.Corbett afterwards said: \u201cI was very sorry to have this affair occur, but my friends can easily see that I was mot to blame.I can whip Mitchell and he knows it; that is why he ran away from me to-night.I guess he\u2019s gone to England by way of Third-avenss,\u201d and the tall Californian laughed merrily, showing his well kept ivories.Continuing Corbett eaid: \u201cJust because I make a bona fide match with John L.Sullivan, Mitchell proposes to queer me by kicking up a disturbance.He fight?Why, a good fight isn\u2019t included in his make up.It was not on my account that Manager Moore refused the Mitchell party a box, but because of à desire to avoid a brawl with a drunken boxer, which was, to say the least, undesirable.I am glad now that my blow did not land, for I would not like to have my New York friends think that I took advantage of Mitchell while he was not sober.All reports to the eontrary, my match with Sullivan is bona fide.\u201d I will ges into the best condition, and with youth, seven more mouths\u2019 growth, snd work, the best, perhaps, of all\u2014expsct to win, and 1 regard John L.Sullivan as the greatest pugilisithat ever lived.\u201d The best part of she whole affair was that Frank Slavin spoke pleasantly to Corbett, and the salutation was returned with fervor.Corbett on his appearance on the stage was grested with lond cheers.Mitcheil and Slavin afterwards had a Tow over a game of pool.They were playing, the loser to pay dinner.Billy Thompson, their manager, being in the game.Miichell pitched six balls and placed another for Slavin go that Thom pe eon might te stuck in.Follewing is the result: Slavin struck an attitude and indig- Dantly remarked thst he would rather psy for his own dinner than be mixed up in any job on a frisnd.Mitchell ssid: \u201cYou are a great big kid.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m ro billiard sharp, anyway,\u201d retorted Slavin.\u201cYou are aliar,\u201d said Mitchell.\u2018I can fight you, and you know it.\u201d \u201cIt takes money to fight in this country, and you harn\u2019t got any,\u201d replied the Australian.By this time the loud and angry tones of the billiard-room pugilists had attracted a large crowd to the billiard-room.Edwards asked Slavin and Mitchell to stop making a noise as a personal favor to him.Slavin quieted down at once and sulkily followed Mitchell and Thompson to the bar when more drinks were ordered.Slavin leaned on one corner of the bar and recounted his woes to a party of friends and Mitchell held forth to bis friends on another eorner.Mitchell said: \u201cWe've had a good many squabbles since we've been together, and five times I have been eom- pelied to lick him.I\u2019ve licked him with the gloves, rough-and-tumble, and all ways.I've made him beg for mercy every time, and I could do it again, and I will.When I had à row with him iu Romano\u2019s, I bad him down and would have gouged his eyes out, only I asked him to say when he had had enough and he was cur enough to ask me to let up, I'd lose my eyes and my life before I'd quit, but I'd much rather be tried for murder shan have a fellow on trial for killing me.Slavin isn\u2019t fast enough to go to a faneral, and he knows it.He\u2019s got a good left in him, and that is all there «is to his fighting.He'll whip Jackson, Corbett, or Sullivan, but he can\u2019t whip me, neither can any man in the world,\u201d 8lavin was gruff and manly.He folt that be had been insulted and injured, and refused to anewer any of the questions Mitchell put to him.Frieads tried to patch up the difficulty, but Slavin was obdurate.He would not eat with Miteh- ell, and stood in the corridor extrolling Australian fighters, while Mitchell and Thompson dined alone, WRESTLING.Roeboer Says That His Match With Rebinet is on the Square.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.New York, March 23\u2014Ernest Roeber, the

New Zeaiand ex-amatear sculler, who has recently shown tat he hag a fair claim to the scalling championship of the world, which James Stanbury holds, has determined to takeit.He has sought à match with Stanbary since soon efter the latter recovered the title from McLean, but the cham .ion\u2019s backers have demanded a heavier stake than he saw fit to row for, and consequently there has been a deadlock, but the six months within which the champion may dec 1e à Challenge since his previous contest for the horor having elaps-d.Sullivan announces +nat he will approach Etanbury again, and, failing a satisfactory snewer to hls challenge will claim the championship and go to America.Sullivan in beating Bubear, the English sculler, and Dutch when he put up the record for the Parramatta champlonship course, showed that he was made of the right metal for a champion, and has gained many admirers, Of course, Stanbury has proved that if he will get into proper condition he is one of the fastest scallers the world ever saw, but his own supporters, who are numerous, are aware that in taking up Sullivan he is undertaking a task which will require that he sbould be at his beat to succeed in.Latest advices have been to the effect that the race between Stanbury and Sullivan for the championship and £300 à side will be rowed on the Parramatta, May 2.TROTTING.The Challenge for the Filly

March 23.\u2014Ex-Cham pion Jacob Schaefer answered on Sunday in Chicago the question which every billiard lover has been asking since Frank Ives's easy victory over him on Saturday's match for the world\u2019s championship, namely, \u201cWhat ailed Schaefer?\u201d The Wizard said that all there wag to it waa that he was out of condition, and that anybody could bave beaten him in the shape he was.He said he expected to win, but that he discovered at the outset that he couldn\u2019t roll the balls right.He repudiated with heat the suggestion that he \u201cthrew\u201d the game.He said also that he was very glad that Ives had won, in one respect at least.The victory admitted Ives tothe ranks of the firgt-class exerts, and hereafter bilhards of that class would pot be limitea to contests between two players.He says that he will challenge the winner of the Ives-Slosson match, which is to be played within 60 days, either here or in Chicago.Billiard lovers familiar with the vicissitudes of the game acquit Schaefer of any suspicien of net trying to win the Ives mateh.As a matter of fact Schaefer couldn\u2019t afford to play a crooked game.It is known that he wished to go to Ea - rope 88 holder of the emblem next month, and that the unexpected defeat bas materially injured his professional prospects and may upset his plans.No man with so much at stake as he had could afford to \u201cmonkey\u201d with a championship match.Besides that Schaefer's past reputation as a siraight player, his admirers says, precludes the possibility of any dishonest work on his part.George Slosson began his regular ractice yesterday for the Ivas match.Fe will play every night hereafter at the Columbia rooms until the match occars He hopes that Ives will consent to play in this city.Slosson will practice with Foss and other well-known amateurs, Slossen Will Hays to Play Ives in Chicage.CurcaGo, March 23,\u2014In an interview Son would have 0 play him in Chicago.The young Napoleon feeis that

money that he can beat Slosson at 800 points, 14-inch balk-line.Schaeffer to-day gave away all the emblems and cues he has won in past tourneys and matches, Has gave Bookmakar Mahoney of New York two trophies, and at 6 o'clock to-night was willing to give his saloon to auybody that wantad it.He says he will not play another match game until after the World's Fair.ATHLETICS, Strong Man Kennedy

engines replaced when doing the same work during January last year, Messrs, John & Henry Gwynne have received from the Haarlemmermeer PolderBoard, Haarlem an order for a pair of \u201cInvincible\u201d patent compound condensing centrifugal pumping engines, each guaranteed,io deliver 350 tons of water per minute toa mean height of 15 ft.7 in: They are intended oreplace the historic Cornish compound single-acting pumping engines, ereciea in 1849 (which were manufactured by the Hayle & Perran Foundry Company, Cornwall), at a total cost for buildings and engines of £121,831.These pumps were capable of raising 640 tons of water per minute on the 4:75 meter lift, and, used 682 1b.of coal per W.H.P.per hour, and, until lately, were considered to be the most economical pumping engines in the world

private.How Mrs.Rudyard Kipling Looks, Mrs.Rudyard Kipling is described as tall, very slender, and a pronouncad brunette.Her long, dark hair is combei straight back from a handsome forehead and smoothly banded about an exceedingly well-shaped head.Mier eyes are superb, large, dark and lustrous, with 1n- felligent fires of expression that never fail to charm and interest those she meets.Perhaps it is her slender height, derk eoloring, and great eyes that command one\u2019s attention always when maet- ing or seeing her, for those who have caught only a glimpse of or had the privilege ot an introductiun to the young woman never fail te be deeply impressed.Though a room be filled with women of far more beauty and apparent charm, sue, om entering quietly, instantly excites attention, and holds for everyone present a curious half-magnetic attraction, potent and inexplicable.(ne seems at first to feel rather than see or hear her resence, although by her simple, graes- fai, and entirely composed manner she is evidently quite unconscious of the strange quality she possesses for both men and women.A Turkish Woman Poes.Hadje Hanoum, dasghter of Suhhi Pasha, minister of State in Turkey, has published some excellent poetry.She is considered by native eritica to be one of their sweetest songstresses.From time immemorial! Islam women have Written poetry; ome of their early poetesses was called the \u201cSappho of the Ottomans.\u201d She lived in the reign of Bejazet 11.The aunt of Fuad Pasha, the great Turkish reformer, was a poeters of no mesn meris.But Hadie Hanoum is said to excel them all in depth, sweetness and passion.Her poems have been set to some of the best- loved national music and are sung by Turks of all ranks.Partof a Kitchen Outfit, A home tool-chest is an essential part of the outfit of a kiichen.Every housekeeper shonld be provided with a thoroughly good hammer of ordinary size in addition to the tack hammer; two good screwdrivers\u2014one of medium and one of small size ; & saw cf a size convenient jor a woman to use, and not too large to saw a ham bone; a gimlet, a file, wrenches, and boxes of nails and screws in several mizes.These articles should be kepi in # atout box with a cover, and should be out of the reach of wandering children seeking what mischief they can devise.However usefal manual instruction may be to the rising generation, n.housekesper wishes that the window ledges and other parts of the woodwork of her house should be a field for such practice, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Little Majorie, \u201cWhere is little Majorie ?\u201d\u2014 There\u2019s the robin in the tree, With his gallant call once more From the boughs above the door!

Her appearance in face, form and dress V&8 Urpr-pesgesrisg.She was usually \u2018B¢ in a short gown of gray, wita lutker-like bonnet, and with coarss, fuday face she presented aoything but à fashionable presence driving through the streets in a8 clumsy cart, with her plain costume, on her errands of mercy or business; she was never a subject of ridicule or derision, but always of respectful deference; even the ms.chievous street hoodlum doffed- - his ragged cap and stood waiting to serve her.She never questioned the religion or creed of a suffering one; it wag suff.cient to know they wers 1n want, to such she gave largely.The needs of the orphan appealed most Strongly to her sympathies; especially to those who were made fatherless and motherless by that fatal pestilence, the yellow fever, she gave large slices of her income.At tbe time of her death her remains lay in staie two days and were viewed by thousands of people.The funeral took place at St.Patrick\u2019s Church, and was the largest ever known in the history of New Orleans except that of Jefferson Davis.The procession of carriages extended for miles and included every religious erder, every civic society, the priests, clergymen and People of every church and denomination, with the children from all the schools and _numerous orphan asylums in the city, old and young, rich and poor, ignorant and wise, all turned ont to do honor to the memory of one plain, uneducated woman, for her deeds were great.The whole of her fortune was bequeathed to the different orphan asylums without regard to faith, The spot chosen for her monument by a grateful public is called Margaret place and lies directly in front ofthe Female Orphan Asylum, which she helped to establish, Good-bye, God Bless You, I l1ke the Anglo-Saxon speech With its direct reves ings; It takes a hold and seems to reach Far down into your foelings; That some folks deem it rude, I know, And therefore they abuse it; But I nave never found 1t 50, Before all else I choese it I don\u2019t object that men should air The Gaelic they have paid for, With \u2018\u2018Au revoir,\u201d \u201cAdieu, ma chore, For that's what French was made for, But when a crony takes your hand At parting to address you.He urops all foreign lingo, and He says, \u201cGood-bye, God bless you!\u201d This seems to be a sacred phrase With reverence impassioned; À thing come down from righteous days Quaintly but nobly fashioned, It well beeomes an honest face, A voice that\u2019s round and cheerful; It stays the sturdy 1n his place, And soothes the weak and fearful; Into the porches ot the ears It steals with subtle u netion, And In your heart of hearts appears To work its gracious funct on; And all day long with pleading song It lingers to caress you I\u2019m gure no human heart goes wro!

and the establisb- ment of a modus vivendi betwean the Prussian Government and the Duke will certainly facilitate a approchmeat be - tween Russia and Germany, A DANGER TO THE COUNTRY.The Difficalties Against Which the Opposition Have to Fight, Toronto Telegram {Independent Con servative:\u2014The Liberals sitting in Parliament represent very nearly, if not quite, half the people of this Dominion.The Government is strong enough to realize that its opponents are the follow.countrymen of its supporters, Liberals love Canada: They have put their lives in peril 2for it, and are devoting their treasure to its development.It is not justice, but polities, to gerrymander the Grits, until in some counties a minerity elects two members and a msjority one.Again, the Governments candidates have the advantage of fighting the election on lists revised by officials who give every doubtlul point in favor of their own party.By typographical errors at Ottawa, Grit names that were put on mystar- iously disappear, and Tory names that were struck off mysteriously re-appear.It a Grit triumphs oyer all these dificals ties, he is robbed by the authority of a county judge, and \u2018's venerable usurper takes another man\u2019s seat amid applause from the Government benches.A Government that is Britigh in profession cannot afford to be altogether un- British in practice, Partisans embittered by defeat, see their country\u2019s politica Americanized by gerrymanders, the trickery of returning officers, the devices of fine workers in the printing bureau, and the usurpation by county judges of a free constituency\u2019s rights.Indignation may drive them into line behind leaders who will think that they might as well be beaten with annexation as their battle cry, as be cheated out of their rights upon nobler ines, .Ifthe Liberal leaders did declara fo: annexation, they might carry nearly as many constituencies as they hold now, not becavse the Liberals want annexation, but becauss they have been so maddened by the injustice of this Government to its opponents, that they would gooner vote fora Turk than a Tory, ae Winter Work on Farms.This morning I will speak to you upon one aspect of a matter which may pro- mots our common happiness and prosperity,\u2014that of making more and better food in the winter time.The task acd occupation of the farmer is to devote his talent and strength to solve these problems that (ace him, in such a Way as to bring back from nature, as mach as possibie of all kinds of food which contribute to the support of the race to which he belongs.Now, a man whe follows dairy farming and provides focd for the people during the summer months only, 18 like à man who, owning & button factory, shuts it up for the winter saying, \u201cClosed because the weather is cold.\u201d With ull the plant idle, all the hands discharged Do income thronghoutthe winter months he could never compets with another button manufacturer up in Port Elgin who runs hig factory all the year round.No mora can a farmer in Waterloo, who does a profitable business for only halt the year compete with a farmer over in Wiscorsin or in England, who keeps going ali the year, and has an income in every month ofit.Winter dairying has Aotiung in itself that is hostile to sam- er dairying any more than ghirt-mak- ing in winter has in it anything that is Lostile lo shirt-making in summer.Perhaps you make a difiersnt class of goods: that is all.At the same time, business should run the year round in both instances.\u2014From an address by Prof, Robert:on.\u2014\u2014\u2014 What 8 pity it is, that his face is all pimples ;

journal.02 THE WASHINGTON NEGOTIATIONS.In the matter of the negotiations for the renewal, or increase, of our trade with the United States.the country seems to have been unfairly treated by the Gov- ermment.Throughout the transaction they have never been taken into its confidence.They have been buoyed up by false hopes, and shreds and patches of Information have been allowed to leak out, as if by accident, just at the right time to influence an election.Tuere can be no doubt but the balk of the Canadian people are vitally interested in this question.If Canada\u2019s trade has increased in other direstions, it does not make Canadiams one whit less anxious as to their standing with the great nation #0 the south, our nearest neighbor and our most valaable and reliable customer.Our trade with other lands may be subject to vicissitudes by .Alteration in the policy of those countries or by political changas, or even interrupted or broken off by the chances ot war.If Britain had been tempted at one {ime by the vast amount of her commerce with the United States to heve turned her attention exclusively west- Ward and ts bave framed her commercial polity to secure its continnance, what must have been the effect upon her & tisans of the famous civil war, and the aftr adoption of a strictly protective policy in that country ?As it was she suffered a serious temporary check to her progress, but with the world as customers, trade soon found other chan- 1èls,.We inthesame way may loxisiate for extended commerce with the distant shores cf Europe, the islands of the Mexican Gulf, the unstable repablies of South America; but the United States is our world, and it requires the cultivation of her friendship, and an equal chance of trade with her millions, to ene sure our prosperity.Our government, unfortunately, do not seem to take the same view of the case, Their initiation of a protective policy has so taken pos sestion of them that they are eager to soize any pretext to recommend and forward the so-called National Policy.From this point of view a complete disruption of the former commerce with the U.8.was almost welcomed, as forcing Canada into the position they wished it $0 occupy.When, in pursuancs of his promised policy ot extending the United States markets by the means of reeipro- city treaties with Canada and the South American Republics, © Mr.Blaine once more held out offers looking to the renewal and ex- ten-ion of the former trade,our ministers dared not openly refuse to negotiate.They guaged the temper of the Canadian paople too correctly to offer opposition, and even pretended to accept with en- t msiagem.Commissioners were appointed, and under the infiuence of the hopes excited by the new departure, no doubt, many voters changed sides at the general elections.When the commission returned with nothing accomplished much disappointment was expressed in ihe country.Another meeting was arranged, and now, secure in power and placs, short work was made of the American proposals.From Mr.Foster's account of the ns- gotiatiuns, given in his budget speech, it is pretty evident that the Government did not play to win.Quite the reverse.As Bir Richard Cartwright said they went to Washington for a refusal and they got it.They desired to kill effect~ uauy the dangerous agitation for wider trade relations with our meighbors which hss been prevalent throughout Canada for years; and they flatter themselves that they have succeeded.Possibly, if Mr.Foster's statement is an accurate description of what took place at Washington, they have succeede-; for the conditions Mr.Blaine is said to have insisted upon will not commend themselves to the Canadian people.But before jumping to conclusions it will be well to await a statement by Mr.Blaine.The past treatment of this matter by members of the administration just ties us in hesitating to accept Mr.Konter's statement ag à fair and full re- distinct refusal to grant any assistance.THE MONTREAL HERALD, THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 1892.port of the Washington conference.This 1 hesitation is strengthened by the manner in which the announcement - wad made, When the commissioners returned from Washington they should have submitied & protocol to the Governor General and subsequently to Parliament, covering the negotiations, This would have been dignified and proper: it would have carried the weight of & carefully prepared state paper.In place of that we have an ex-parie statement, made by a not over-scrupalous speaker In the course of & campaign argument, for that is what a budget announcement in Canada has come to be.Mr.Foster standing in the House of Commons with & crowd of claquers behind him, intent on scoring heayily against the trade policy of the Opposition, was not at all likely to give a thoroughly candid summary of negotiations extending over many days and coveringlcomplex questions.Reciprocity is the new cry of the Republicans.They are anxious to extend the trade relations of the United States in every direction, and South American Republics and Islands in the West Indies have had no difficulty in making satisfactory reciprocal arrangements.It does seem very peculiar in the light of this fact that it is only when Canada makes an offer to Washington that Mr.Blaine suddenly becomes pernickety and inclined to exact hard conditions, It is more than likely that the chief difficulty in the way of reciprocity with with our neighbors is the private determination of the Dominion Cabinet that the national policy in its present form is good enough for Canada.: QuEenxc VOTERS who changed sides on the understanding that the Dominion Government would aid in the building of the much coveted bridge across the St.Lawrence, are sorely disgusted by the They will not be so ready to accept new promises in future.Purchased votes will, in future, be C.O.D, in the Ancient Capital.ln Tux Star says: \u201cIt is believed that an agitation is to be commenced hers for the repeal of the obnoxious tax which the Mercier Government placed on commercial corporations,\u201d Now the statement that the tax originated with the Mercier Government is deliberately unfair, not to say dishonest.The com- | mercial corporation tax was a legacy from the Conservatives, and the Mercier Government merely collected it as they did other taxes which they found upon the books.lm SOME COMFORT FROM THE BUDGET.Taken on the whole, Minister Foster's budget speech is perhaps as favorable as could have been expected.We would greatly have preferred that a different fiscal policy should have placed the country in à more satisfactory financial condition.It has always to be borne in mind that Canada is but thinly populated and from its very size the providing of the mesns of intercommunication, when reckoned per capita, presses a great deal heavier upon her people than would otherwise be the case.It is therefore greatly to be desired that the trade and internal resources of the country should be developed by increased iramigration, and that measures should be taken to stop the exodus that is #0 sadly retarding our progress.A nation is not made up of Bank capital, ur savings banks statistics, or money sunk in factories, and though a great flourish may be made in these lines still the patriot looks round for the men and women, the blood and muscle that form its true power, and mutters the hackneyed lines about the country where \u201cwealth accumulates and men decay.\u201d It is even questionable whether wealth does accumulate under the present system, for while pointing out increased \u2018\u2018rests,\u201d enlarged factories, pheromensal growth of a few cities anc so forth, the upholders of protection are careful to cloge their eyes to the reduction of the country population, and the lessened value of farming property.It is indeed probable that in Ontario alone the decline in value of country estates, and the gradual shifting of the ownership fromthe working preprietors to mere usurers, mortgagees and banks would be fally equivalent to all tLe gains in national wealth pointed out by those who only count by ths dollars and cents apparent in the coffers of the great companies, or the increased valuation of the favored cities.In spite of all drawbacks there are, however, grounds for congratulation in the budget showing.1f the country no longer increases its population by leaps and bounds it is something to be thankful for that its rulers are begining to recognize ity altered circumstances and are cutting down expenses and turning a deaf ear to reckless schemes of expenditure.The establishment of financial equilibrium is the first requisite for the attainment of a renewed prosperity.The millions spent, and sometimes squandered, in the opening up of our resources have been the most powerful weapon in the maintenance of the protective policy.The illusive appearances of prosperity have been kept up by expenditare of loans obtained in foreign countries, and as this means of paying native labor and enabling our financiers and contractors to amass fortunes will be no longer available, the people will the more readily be induced to make an honest estimate of their position, We are in the position of extensive property holders whose almost unlimited credit has enabled them to make vest improvements, but now that there is no excuse for further borrowing the problem before us is, whether we can live within our income, and whether the loans have been so judiciously laid out that the return from the works will be \u2018being gored.Su XA NN Eh I PRÉ EE EE I EEN PT RR ET (ee Castoria 15 Dr.Samuel Pitcher\u2019s prescription for Infants and Ohildren, It contains neither Opium,

Renewal of the Medus Vivendi of Last Sessien\u2014President Barrison\u2019s Mistaken Idea.WASHINGTON, March 23.\u2014The Presi- -dent's message transmitting Lord Salisbury\u2019s reply to the last note of this country relative to the modus vi vendi, was laid before the Senate in executive session at one o'clock to-day.Lord Salisbury\u2019 reply is & virtual reiteration of kis declination to renew the modus vivendi on the game terms as existed last year.After half an hour\u2019s discussion the correspondence was referred to the committee on foreign relations.The correspondence was not made public.The President in his letter announced that he had made a rejoinder to Lerd Salisbury\u2019s reply.Lord Salisbury\u2019s refusal to consent to a renewal of the modus vivendi is accompanied with several counter propositions, the reading of which was received with 1l-suppressed irritation by the Senate Lord Salisbury does not in bis note refuse to enter into a modus vivendi of some kind, he does mot flatly refuse to be à party to some arrangement, but diplomatically speaking he \u201cfails to consent\u201d to the proposition made by this government.Inasmuch'as the Senate has refused to make the correspondence public it is exceedingly difficult to get a a clear statement of the exact idea intended to be conveyed in the diplomatic language of such correspondence as that laid before the Senate to-day, but undoubtedly the impression generally conveyed by the reading ias tnat Lord Salisbury has refused to renew the arrangement of last year Loxpox, March 23,\u2014The Graphic says: The despaich of a portiom of the Paeific Squadron northward shows that Lord Salsbury is not disposed to recede from his position, Happily there is plenty of time for the negotiations.President Harrison has apparently taken Lord Salisburys compliance for irresolution, hence his swaggering rejoinder.A little more correspondence and reflection will show bim his mistake.The Morning Post says: It is impos.gible to believe that when the glamour of the elections is removed from the eyes oi American Statesmen, they will fail to Tecognize the inherent fairness of Lord Salisbury\u2019s proposition, so small a matter cannot cause a'friction between two great nations allied by blood.The Daily News says: If the states men and diplomats on both sides do not soon find some modus vivendi, the arbitration will soon be no more than one -of those good intentions a certain place is paved with.As appsarances go, President Harrison will not necessarily score at all points.DEEMING ON

COREFESPONDENCE.Codification of Crimiual Lawa.Eorror HERALD: The Min:stér of Justice bas a big work before him during the present session at Ottawa with the above question.A perusal of the criminal law bill which he has preferred for the consideration of the House shows the importance of the legislation which he intends to introduce at an early period.I am informed that the draft of the new bill bas been already submitted to a number of judges and lawyers: of the country in order to get their opinions on the merits of such codification.Although the measure had been laid before Par- Jiament at its last session, it is not likely thatit would be adopted during the session It is a comprehensive measure dealing with the whole subject of crimes and misdemeanous and with the rules of procsdure before the courts of criminal jurisdiction in the country.I am inclined to think that this legislation has not been sufficiently discussed by the press.The discussion which will take place in Parliament will enable the public to judge of the extrinsic value of the changes and modifications made in the different statutes.À special committee ofthe House of Parliament will in all probability be appointed to examine the general features of the measure and report before the end of the session as to the advisability of adopting it this year.At all events I hope that the work of codification of our criminal laws will not be rushed through in a hasty manner 80 as to leave on the statute books of our country a general measure inferior to former legislation.Tae Min ister of Justice has the responsibility o that important messure.I have great confidence in his wisdom and prudence te deal with this delicate question, but I dare suggest that he should get an expression of opinion fiom the different sections of the bar ot the country or of a special commission appointed for that purpose before asking Parliament to sanction this important legislation.An authoritative report coming from that source would no doubt greatly lessen his duties and afford the Yarliameut of Canada an opportunity of testing the feeling of the legal traternity, and of all classes of the community on the above subject.Lex.Montreal, March 23.Farm Crops.Eorror HERALD: There is probably no work undertaken by the agricultural experiment stations at the pregent time of 80 much value to the farmer as that which relates to the introduction and testing of new varieties of the seeds of the various kinds of farm crops.The tendency to deterioration with nearly all kinds of crops as grown at present is so well understood by farmers that they are constantly on the lookout for a change of seed.It is very important that when such change 13 made it will have reference to varieties, the superior value of which has been demonstrated.by repeated tests.In the introduction and testing of these varieties, to say nothing of the origination of others, the experiment stations will find work which, like the atory in the fable, will never have an end.The bulletin recently issued by our station on \u201cexperiments with spring grains\u201d brings out some facts relating t» the introduction of new varieties which should received the careful attention of every tiller of the soil.Reference is made therein to the testing of 81 varieties of oats for three years.The larger number of these were imported from Europe and other countries, but all the leading Canadian varieties that could be obtained were tested with them, and under similar conditions.By Canadian varieties, I mean these which have been grown in this country for anumber of years, Ot the 81 varieties thus tested, we find that the 9 varieties taking the lead are from imported seed; and they give an average of 4 1-5 bush.per acre more each year than the best of the old sorts grown previously, And this superiority in several of the imported varieties is not confind to oats.We find results very similar with barley.With barley, the five varieties taking the lead are all imported; and if we include the Scotch improved, which has not been in the country for many years, we have 12 imported varieties anead of the common six-rowed Ontario barley, which stands first among the old varieties hitherto grown.Thess 12 varieties gave an average of 43 bushels per acre per year over the Ontario six- rowed.The comparison of the imported varieties of spring wheat grown with the old sorts has been carried on virtually for but two years, but the results obtained point In the same direction.Some of the imported varieties have thus far taken the lead.The seed of some of these varieties hag already been widely distributed.There can be but ore ce sult.The old varieties which have served their day will be discarded, and others of superior merit grown in their place, When the superiority of the more newly introduced varities hasbeen demonstrated by the experiment stations, the general introduction of thess is accelerated insomuch that in a few years the growth of improved varieties may become general, a work that required several years to effect, before the establishment of Experiment 8 ations.It is true that some of these variecies will not be equally well adapted to all parts of the country, but it 18 equally true that, owing to the large number of sorts which is being continually brought into the country, some of these will be found specially adapted tothe wants of each locality.The influence of this work upon the profits of our agriculture cannot but be considerable.\u2018The continuous 1ntrodue- tion of improved sorts of grains and seeds of various kinds cannot bat increase materially the yields per acre.If we put this annual increase of the different kinds of cereals at but ons bush.per acre, which is surely mot extravagant, what do we get?The crops on the basis of the average grown in 1891 wouid be indreased as follows : Vvinter wheat, 849,956 bushels; spring wheat, 510,634 bushels; barley, 553,158 bushels; oats, 1,840,636 bushele; peas, 753,453 bushels.Value the winter wheat and also the spring wheat at 85c per bushel, the barley at 45c, the onts at 50c, and the peas at 55c, and we have the following increase in values: Winter wheat, $722.462; spring wheat, $434,038; barley, $248,924; oats, $552,190; pease, $413,840.Total, $2,371,463.Divide the gum by two, lest the estimate should be considered extravagant, and we have $1,165,737.Add to this the money benefits accruing from the introduction of new varieties of grasses and clovers, potatoes and field roots, experiments in dairying and in feeaing the various kinds of live stock, and those which relate to tree-planting and horticulture, and we get some idea of what these experiments stations are capable of doing for the interests of agriculture, I do not claim that they have accom lished so much up to the present, but ab they are soon Likely fa be able to prove thus helpfal.And yet there are some 11 our midst who say these stations are only a bill of expense to the country, Ont.Agric.College, Guelph, March 21, 1808, Taos, Susw.lc A SHIP AGROUND, \u2014\u2014\" A Serious Accident to 3 German Steamer at Halifax, HaurAX, March 23,\u2014About 8.30 this morning the men at signal station at Citadel Hill telephoned to A.G.Jones & co's office that the steamer Wilhelm Oelsner, of the Hansa Line, from Hamburg snd Antwerp for Halifax and Bog- ton, was shore at Trump Cap, Nova Scotia, Jones & Co.are agents of the line and they immediately sent to the Steamers assistance tue tags A.C.Whitney and Henry Hoover and three lighters the Collector Robbie Burns and Highland Maay were sent to be in readiness if was found necessary to discharge the cargo.Later the Luem- burg and the Rescus also went down.Wiihelm Oelgner, Capt.Bremar, was chartered by Hansa Line to take the place of Europ which has also been chartered by them, but owing to an accident to her machinery could not proceed on the voyage.Oelsnor has goods from Axtwerpand Hamburg for this port and for St.Johns, she also has good for Boston.The Osisner is brig rigged built by Schlesgar Downs & Co.Newcastle tyne in 1879, classed A 1 at Lloyds under admiralty inspection triple eXpansion engiues, 130 horse power, 1426 tons gross, 917 tons nst 248 ft.long, 32.7 beam, 20.3 depth o hoid She was originaiiy called G.W Ward, afterwards Tripoli, aod latterly the W:lhelm Oelsner.She went ashoras about 8ix o'clock this morning, and it is supposed that the captain misjudged his distance aod came too close to the eastern shore, running on tbe ledges about halfs mile east of the buoy.Tne vessel was lightened by a portion of the cargo being thrown oyervoard, portions of which were s-cured by the fisher men, abd when the lighters and these were loaded with the Boston cargo, the steamer Lunenbarz tugs A.C.Whitney aud Goliath got hold of her and got her off this afternoon.The steamer was aground fore and oft ahd there were several inches of water in ber engine room.She had not a pilot as she ran inside of where they are usually stationed and was not observed by tnsm.She has a hole in her bottom and so great was the leak that the pumps uf tug 88 well as her own were necessary to keep ber afloat.Considerabie cargo has been discharged so that the vessel can float with her own pumps.Tha cargo will all be discharged and a furtuer survey made.Hauzrax, March 23.\u2014Capt.Brsmner, of the steamer Wilmer Qelsner, states that he arrived off tae port last night, and not being able to secure a pilot anchored about a mile and half off Davis Island about 11 o'clock.At 6 o'clock yesterday morning, he set the \u2018Jack\u2019 for pilot, and after waiting some time and none showing up, he ordered the ancnor to be hoisted, and steamed anead for the barbor entrance, Avout half an hour after the ship struck on the rocks aad remained.After she had been in this position for soms time, a licensed pilot put in an appearance aad came on board.Previous to this a fisherman had boarded the steamer and informed the captain that it was the western shoal of Tham Cape whers the vessel was.At 7 o'clock, evening, there was about 17 inches of water in her hoid.The work of dischar:ing her entire cargo was commenced immediately on her \u201creaching the wharf and continued alt night, Af.er this is done, she will likely be placed in the dry dock for examinations and repairs.About 10 o'clock tonight the water was found to be gaining considerable on the pumps and applica tion was made to the chief of the Fire Department for the services of steam fire engines to assist in the pumping, as it was thought she woald sink in the dock, but subsequently this was found imprs - ticable.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A VERDICT 10-DAY.Hiamilten\u2019s HBensationa!

said the Crown evidence did not make out a strong case against the prisoners and was insufficient to justify condemning two men to death, The evidence of theCrown was that of two accomplices, a\u2019 couple of detectives and a few thieves and scoundrels, while the defence was an alibi in the case of each.risoner.He dwelt on the danger of re- ying on the evidence of accomplices backed by that of detectives.He showed the jury how the detectives had suppressed facts connected with the case because they would prove favorable to the prisoners, He agked the jury to judge the prisoners by the evidence and not from previous convictions formed before the trial or by reading sensational newspaper articles.A verdict won't be reached till about noon to-Morrow.a Made Insane by Grippe.There was à sad ecens witnessed in the Recorder\u2019s Court yesterday afternoon, when an unfortunate women named Mra.Philomene Pelletier, residing on Manufacture s-street, Point S .Charles.accused her children of perss- cation and amid a torrent of profans abuse spat in her dau zuters\u2019 faces.The unfortunate, who is 57 vears of age and the mother of eight children, became : violently iuvsane from the effects of an attack of la grippe.For her own and her family\u2019s safety she was arresied at the instance of two of her daughters.The unfortunate was sent to the IL.ongus Pointe Asyinm.feociety of Canadian Englmeers.The recently formed society of French Canadian Epgineers and Machinists met ou Tuesday night in their new hall on St.Lawrence street, which was formally opened by Boiler Inspector T.O.Champagne, who has taken a great interest in the society since its organiza- ion.Upwards of 150 members pre- tent.Mr.Champagne promised to present to the society handsome models cf high and low pressure engines, and 1 1so the model of a boiler.It was an- pounced thatseveral manufacturerswould ttend future meetings of the society for the purpose of explaining to the members all that was new in mechanical invention.The society, although but a montb old,already has a larger membership than the English one, devoted to the same purpose, and from present appearances, has a flourishing and useful i n store, np GIbben's Toothache Gu M4 ail çhom- | sis Price, 254, 2 J.B.WILLIAMSON, ORTHER OF = FETINE: JEWELRY prAMOND Necklets, Pendants, Brooches, Bracelets, Ear-rings » and Finger Rings always on hand or made to order;

the water cannot, therefore, become dirry, while its evaporation is checked.The handles of the buckets have projecting ends, which slide between two guides, a lug being provided at each end of the handle, which fits into recesses in the guides and prevents a bucket being drawn out by the suction of the bucket above it, Taking hold of the handle to lift a bucket turus the lugs clear of the recesses into which they tit and the bucket can then be | raised.Metallic Glass, Now.À Dresden, Germany, firm is introducing a compound of glass and wire, which possesses remarkable resisting}power to sudden changes of temperature.The process of manufacture consists of furnishing glass, while in a hot plastic condition, with a flexible metallic layer, like wire netting, the metal becoming completely imbedded in the glass, and thereby being effectively protected from rust.As a proof of the toughness of the compound, it is said thas the glass may be sprinkled with cold water while it is in a highly heated state, without the surface being materially damaged.\u2018The glass made by this process is especially abapted for skylights, the powerful resisting qualities of the material rendering the use of the ordinary wire protectors unnecessary.It has also been successfully employed for the manutacture of hollow glassware, and is particularly suitable for making glass vessels which have to stand a high pressure or which are subject to hard usage.As the glass cannot be broken without causing considerable noise, and as it is not readily cut with a diamond, it is claimed that the substance is in a measure burglar proof.Nailless Horse Shoes.The tests that have been made by à street car company of Paris, of a new form of nailless horse shoe, have been so successful that the company has decided to employ this shoe exclusively in the future, The pew shoe is made of Bessemer steel, and in appearance is similar to the ordinary iron shoe, except that it has a bent lever that attaches itself half way up the rear of the hoof without in any way compressing it.A clamp encloses the hoof, parting the two heels of the shoe, and is supported on the top of the lever, which wholly sustains it and thereby prevents compression of any part of the hoof.The shoe is also fitted with three small interior clamps, which penetrate the horn of the hoof, and prevent displacement of the shoe without the preliminary raising of the clamp.A number of private firma in Paris have also tested the shoe with success.It is considered by many that this form of shoe will sooner or later revolutionize the farrier\u2019s industry.Photography\u2019s Latest Triumph.News comes from Germany that a photographic Apparatus has been constructed by the use of which the interior of certain parts ot the body of men and the animals may be reproduced, It consists of à small cylindrical camera placed in the interior of a rubber tube, the whole being inclosed in a case containing two hemispherical shutters.Before the lens arc placed two small incandescent lamps.A battery for the lamps and a rubber bulb to open the shutters completes the apparatus.A simple pressure of the bulb pushes the camera forward in its cylindrical case ; at the same time the current is turned on the lamps and the shatters are opened.As soon as the pressure ceases the camera returns to its place, the lamps are extinguished and the shutters closed.Experl- ments seemed to give satisfactory results.Latest Medical Discovery.An antidote for poisonous snake bites is reported as the latest discovery of medical science.The discovery is credited to Albert Calmette, a surgeon in the French Navy andja director in the Pasteur Institute at Saigon.The antidote is a liquid having for a base a salt of gold.Subcutaneous injection of the preparation, it is declared, not only des stroys the effect of a snake bite, but makes à man snake-bite proof for life.Highest Electric Lighting Station.What is believed to be the highest elecs tric central station in the world is located at Pontresina, in the Swiss Alps, the altle tude being 6,000 feet above the sea level The inhabitants of this sequestered noo formed a co-operative society and intrqu duced a dynamo, operated by the wate) falls near the place, which have a fall of 430 feet.Each lowly shepherd\u2019s hub &à now supplied with electric light and power;

was duil and irregular.The coal stocks opened about 1 per cent.lower than they closed yesterday on rumor that Governor Abbott had vetoed the Reading bill.This was not confirmed although it is the general impression: the bill will not become law.Itis also believed that the silver bill will be killed.The room traders were sellers at the opening and again within about half an hour before the close.org The talk amongst the more prominent brokers is of a bullish tone, but in our opinion the market does notoffer special inducements to intending speculators, Money easy.New York, March 23.\u2014The Post's financial says: An effort was made to force up the market again at the opening to-day, but with less success than yes terday.Lake Shore mounted 1 1-3 point in the first hour and fell back with equal rapidity long before noon.The Sugar manipulators touched their coveted %0al of par, but the price was held only Wwithgreat difficulty at that figure.New Engiand held only for a

the silyer question is curiously confused.Despite a general Belief that the House will pass Mr Bland\u2019s latest effusion, stock marke values have scarcely been impaired, an the price of silver itself has taken a extraordinary downward plunges.Stoc: Exchange manipulation has certain! r not brought about this singular result.Less than 100,000 ounces have been sold on the Exchange in the last fortnigbs, & period, nevertheless, signalizad by a decline of 14 cents per ounce.To all appearances, the real sel - ing has come on the open market from the smelting works and the demoraliz - tion in price arises from the continued over-production.Our Government has bought as much silver this year as it bought a year ago, and we have shipped to Europe 20 per cent more than we did in the same period of 1891.Still the supply far out-runs the demand.The Wariness of Stock Exchange traders in the bullion market, and the reckless emasbing of prices by the producers, suggest that some of these purblind financiers are at last beginning to see daylight, and to realize that the $88,000, 000 worth of uncoined silver, stored up at Washington under the law of 1890, is à \u201cvisible supply

strong apd believers in, wheat would have an opportunity to recover some of their losses.\u2018To-day there were 40 boat loads taken for export.Liberal buying orders were reported from several of the

Officers for the Fire Brigade\u2014 Sub-Committee Appointed to Belect the Sites for the Propesed Inoineraters in the Wards\u2014The St, Jean Baptiste Sewerage Question, The Fire Committee met at 2 o'clock yesterday, with Ald.Stevenson in the chair.There were also present Ald.Perreault; Tansey, Robert, A, Dubuc and Grenier.A claim for $263 from Mr.Albert Jette, of 1243 Ontaric-street, for alleged damage to his property by fire, was presented, He based his claim on the grounds that there had been unnecessary delay in getting the water quickly to quanch the fire ewing to the hydrant being frozen.Chief Benoit stated tha there was not a delay of two minutes on this score, and the committee decided not to entertain the claim.In the case of the widow Gagnon Whose husband was recently killed by the Bkinner ladder when going to a fire, jt was decided to appoint a sub-commit tee to confer with her advisers as to the settlement of hez claim against the city apd the chairman, Ald, Perrault and Chief Benoit were requested to carry this out and report to the committee.The chairman then said he was an xfous to get to the appropriations, which would require a good deal of consideration, as some of the items put down in the original list would have to be discussed and very probably altered.This turned out to be the case and the items already published are not in all cases correct.Tee following return shows the expenditure of the department last year and the estimates for the present year : Require- Expended, ments.1891.1892.Pay list.95,750 550

Total.$152,704 $172,434 In addition to the above the following amounts will be asked for in connection with departments under tbe control of the Fire Committee: Fire Alarm Department, $18,650; Building Inspecior\u2019s Ds- partment, $2500; Boiler Inspector's Department, $1309.This with the Fire Department's $172 434, makes a total appropriation of $194,- 893.In discussing the items in which changes were made, the chairm an said be wus averse to asking for more than the board eof chairmen was likely to allow.\u2018the present year's estimate is about $20,000 over the expenditure of last year which is made up chiefly by the 1n- cressed pay-roll for the extra men needed in the two new fire stations in St.Gabrie: and St: Jean Baptists wards.There ts also the $7000 for a water tower and $3000 for an extension trackfladder.A long discussion was held anent the propcsed incressed pay for a medical at tec dant for the Fire Brigade, The appropriation last year was $400 and it was proposed to increase it this year to $1000.The chairman strongly objected to this while Ald.Robert was just asstrongly in favor of it.Finally a compromise was effected and it was agreed to ask for $800 and to have two medical attendants, one for the East and one for the West End of the city, it being understood that for the remuneration of $400 each they should only be called to attend firemen in cases of accidents and not in general rickness.The Question of Incinerators, The joint Health and Finance Committee met at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon for the special business of dealing with the scavenging question and fixing pites for incinerators, which hag been so trequently before the Health Committee ard Council and as often shelved.There was a lerge attendance of aldermen in addition to the members of the Financa and Health Committees.Ald.Rolland presided, and thers were also present Ald.Perrault, Clendinaneng, Hurteau, Tansey, Robert, Nolan, Brunet, Kennedy, Villeneuve, Stearns, Gauthier, Germain, Wilson, Farrell, Beausoleil, Cunningham, Grenier, Stevenson and Cresse.The mayor was also present.Mr.Roy, city attorney, and Dr.Laberge, health officer, were in attendance.The chairman read the reports of the Health Committee recommending the sites they had selected, ous in the west end, between the Grand Trunk Railway and Muilin-street, and the otber in the east end of the city on Delorimier- avenue near Ontario-street, Ald.Gautbier explained the situation, inwbrch the Hea!th Committee bad been placed and which had caused the delay 10 dealing with this question.Hestated that they had reported to council in favor cf securing two sites for inciterat- ors, and asked for an amount of money to purchase these, but council had never noticed their report.Ald.Stearns stated that when he signed the report referred to it was with the reservation that was attached to it.His reason for this was that he wanted to have the question discussed in Coua- cil but that august body would never condescend to touch the subject.He objected altogether to the sites proposed in the report before the Joint committee and was strongly of opinion that they should never be allowed to be built within the city limits as they would prove & nuisance in more ways than one, They should most certainly be outside the citv limits.Ald, Wilson said that the site proposed in the St.Gabriel Village between the dyke and the river was the moat suitable one that had been mentigned This was supported by Ald.Tansey andf Clendinneng and after an hours discus gion in which several members took par Ald, Hurteau proposed that the proposed site in St.Gabriel, between th «yke and the river, be adopted for one o the incinerators for the West End.This + as finally carried after several other zu ofions had been made, objected to and « fsated., Ald.Clendinnerg proposed to divide 11 ¢ ity into three districts ingeoad of 1v 0 a.nd PBA an incinerator in dach the three districts to be the West, Centre and East, This motion was received with favor by the majonty of the aldermen present but the difficulty arse as to where the divisions Should be made and a long and tedious discussion followed in which one or more representatives from every ward took 8 hand, The chairman had the greatest difficulty in maintaining even a semblance of order as several of the aldermen would insist upon speaking at once, each one wishing to protect hie ward from the nuisance that was likely to arise from the incinerator being built in it, .Ald, Clendinneng then made an sddi- tion to his motion to have the city divided into three districts and added \u201cthat the Health Committee be appointed to decide the boundaries of said dis\u201d tricts and report to the Joint Comittee.Carried.Ald.Hurteau proposed the following sub-committee to ix the sites for the incinerators in the Centre and East Districts: Ald.Clendinneng, Tansey, Stearns, Brunet, Beausoleil, Gauthier and German.Carried.An attempt was then made to take up the scavenging question, but the chairman stated that by the order of the Council they were met to discuss ineiner- ators and the sites for the same, and the scavenging question could not be taken op at that meeting.It being near 6 o'clock the members adjourned.&t.Jean Baptiste Sewerage Question: The committee appointed to deal with the St.Jean Baptiste sewerage question met yesterday in the City Hall, there being just sufficient present to form a uoram.Ald.Villeneuve presided, and Ald.Grenier, Wilson and Kennedy were present, The chairman in his opening remarks stated that, as he understood the matter, the city should pay one-half the cost of the cutting, and that both the sewer and water pipes were to be laid in the one drain.Some mistake had occurred whereby residents had paid just twice their share, and the meeting was called to try and arrange what amount should be refunded them.In his ward poor people were taxed $12 per yard for a 3 by 2 foot excavation, when they should only pay at least one- balf that amount according to the original agreement, After much consult= ing of the books and by-laws, the matter was left over to the next n eeting at the suggestion of Ald.Grenier, who also moved that the tenders for the excavations of Durham-street be produced at the next meeting, as well as & statement of further particulars concerning the great differences in the amounts charged per yard in certain sections.He stated that in some parts the cost was $28 per yard with the pipes and sewers in the same cut, while on Durham-street in some paris the price was as low as $2.25 per yard.Ald.Wilson pointed out that the exea- vations on St.Lawrence Main-street cost less than on the other and smaller streets, the difference being about $6000, as the total cost on the Main-atreet was $9783.Chairman Villeneuve said that labor was much cheaper when the Main-street was laid as were also materials etc: He bad also interviewed the city treasurer who considered the amount fo be paid, by the citizens as capable of reduction.After further discussion it was unanimously agreed that the citizens who had been overcharged for the filling in of the excavation should have the money refunded, Having thus agreed it was decided to adjourn the meeting till all the members could be present.To Meet This Moraing, The committe on electric and elevated railways is called for 10 a.m, this morn~ ing.The committee to arrange the Chicago trip meet at 2:30 p.m., and the Finance Committee at 4 p.m.-_\u2014\u2014\u2014

of the Province would shortly issue a mandement abolishing in all parts the religious feasts falling on week days.Our confrere accompanied its report with a comment to the effect that it would be a good thing for business interests, especially in large cities like Montreal not to have so many holidays, the frequency of which proved suchan interruption to business.We know from an authoritive source that this rumor is absolutely without foundation and that the archbishops and bishops have des cided nothing on this subject.The Herald tbat is so interested in the Queen\u2019s Birthday,

PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY- PRESENTATION OF SAINT-SAENS DELUGE LAST NIGHT.IT WAS A BRILLIANT SUCCESS.Intensively Dramatie Betting of a Great Theme\u2014Excellent Work of the Qhorns and Orchestra\u2014The Soloists-Coming Attractions at the Theatres.The seventeenth season of the Mon- trea! Philharmouic Society opensd brilliantly in the Windsor Hall last evening, under the care of an artistic coterie, The great novelty that the Society has prom ised for this season was performed last aver ing, namely Saint Ssens * Deluge,\u201d and it can certainly be said that the anticipations of the people were not aroused without just cause, for a more majestically inspired work has, perhaps, never been written, Its orchestral and other requirements are gigantic and éonasti- tute the chief difficulty of its produce tion, and it is therefore all the more gratifying to ba able to say tha the interpretation it received at the hands of our Philharmonic Society, was worthy of the masterpiece they performed.Itis hard to conceive a more intense:y dramatic setting than the great French maestro has given to this subject.It is written in three parts The first, ie à description of the earth on the early days after creation when na ture was flourishing under divine favor and a race of giants existed, The tran quility of the opening strains give an idea of health and plenty, and a few bars of majestic character denote the strength of the nations.The decline is marked by the same subject played on different instraments with diminished effect.Then, gradually the decline becomes more apparent till the wickedness calls forth the outburstof divine wrath, which is portrayed in the magnificent chorms and trio \u201cThis race I'll exterminate.\u201d A more lofty cenception than this chorus it would be impossible te imagine.If conveys the idea of outraged torbear- ance, impelled by the medium of over strained sufferance, yet working without the slightest suspicion of revenge to an overwhelming distinction.Its beauty and power is beyond description and it makes a fitting close for the first part and introduction for the second, which is entirely devoted to the portrayal of the Deluge, through the medium of a most elaborate piece of orchestration, in w hich the voices only take part in the form of à simple recital of the passing events.The vivid realism of this piece of work and the splendor of tie tone eoloring is marvellous, and has all the power and scope of the French school of orchestration.The power of imagination die played in the treatment is enly equalled by the perfect ekill with which the various insiruments have been combined to convey the idea of a premonition of impending disaster which quickly takes the form of a revolt of the elements accompanied by the shrieking cf the wind, the pattering of the rain increaging gradually to a torrent, coatinual shocks of earthquake, spreading terror amid thick darkness, the dashing of the waves and the flight of the frenzied towards rocks and hills to escape destruction.But the most wonderful effect is achieved by the representation of the rising of the waters which is done by the chromatic ascent of notes with horns and finally the violins which are heard in startling relief amid the remainder of the orchestration, As the representation reaches the ciimax the volume of sound gradually die away and the vast silence is introduced by a gradual and prolonged diminuendo on the concluding notes ot the part.The third part is very rich in orchestral coloring and representa the flight of the dove and gradual subeid- ence of the waters, the descent of the ark, the revival of nature under the divine favor, the covenant, the rainbow of promise, and finally the Benediction of God in a magnificent pupil chorus to the words \u201cNow increase, grow and multiply.\u201d ; Saint Ssens \u201cDeluge \u201d is not merely a piecs of brilliant imagination that pleases the ear.Itis a deep and profourd study and to the musician is replete with interest.The fundamental ideas are all represented by subjects or \u201clight motives\u201d which are beautifully modulated and worked out throughout the score, among them being one representing Divine Wealth, another representing Divine Favor, and one indicative of the personality \u2018and righteousness of oab.The work is majestic in style, scholarly in development, and rich in musical conception and is at the same time a charming tone prem and a Jeep and a profound aesthetic stady.Tre work was preceded last evening by Gade\u2019s \u201cEr! King\u2019s Daughter?\u2019 which is a light graceful work of rather sombre caste The story being of a knight who was enchanted by the eri maidens and whom the Erl King\u2019s Daughter tried to tempt from his allegiance to his bride.Sir Olaf resisted and paid the penalty with hip life.The work is beautifully orchestrated and is very lyrical in character.The chorus this year is quite up to the standard of the Philharmonic society and it is hard to imagine finer choral work.They sang with brilliancy and precision and with good effect in light and shade.Their rendering of the grand chorus in the first part of the deluge being particularly fine.The principal work, however, fallsto the orchestra which is a beaatifu!l one, their rendering of the descriptive music in the second part of the deluge was a grand effort and the effect will not leave the memory of the Montreal public for a long time.The wood wind ure excap- tionally fine and the horns, are perfection, The timpani were managed with perfect precigion, an absolute necessity for the Deluge,and ths s trings were very brilliant thoughsometime overpowered.Of the soloists Madame Clark Poole the contralto does not require an introduction.She was in splendid voice, but the soloists have not very much work in the Deluge, every thing being subserviant to the descriptive narration of the orchestra.Madame Ford, of Cleveland, the soprano, did very well; ber voice is pleasing though lit tle uncertain, and her style 1s artistic and dramatic, Mr.Heinrich was indisposed and had to omit some of his music.Professor Couture conducted with his usual energy.Any one who supposes it to be any easy task to conduct such a work as Saint Saens Deluge makes a vest mistake, for the requirements of th score are exacting on each individual ex ecutant and doubly 60 on the couduetor.Professor Couture gave an admirable reading of the score, and the s ciety ar?to be congratul-ted on the success of their concert.Events at the Theatres, The Duff Opera Company will appear at the Academy of Music next Monday inæ well selected repertoire of comic opera, On Monday and Tuesday the \u201cQueen\u2019s Mate\u201d will be given.On

hour and five minutes and make a strong appeal on bebait of nis client.Mr.Quinn, Q.C,, followed fr the Crown.He spoke five minutes longer than Mr.Weir, laying particalar stress on the fact that Moore was an American citizen, while the victim of the shooting was a French Canadian.Judge Baby charged strongly against the accused, reminding the jury in his closing remarks that they wers beund to find a verdict in strict accordance with the evidence adduced during the trial, or else lay themselves open to perjury.The case was given to the jury at 1 o'clock and the court took recess until two.When the court resumed in the afternoon, the jury in the shootiag case not being yet ready witha verdict, à youta pamed John Scanlan was placed op trial charged with the robbery of $39.95 from a little boy

guilty on the first count of the indictment, taat of shooting with intent to murder?\u201d \u201cNot guilty,\u201d was the unauimous reply of the jurors.\u201cHow do you find on the second count, that

Justice Will Mot Pardon Him Early this week a rumor gained cur= rency in town that ex-Detective Fahey, one of the most notorious crooks that Montreal has ever sent to the penitens tiary, was about to be pardoned.It wag said that an alderman headed the petition for his release and that a number of prominent citizens had signed their names toit.So confident did Faney\u2019s friends become that it was currently reported that Fahey would be released to-day.Unfortunately for Fahey, bot possibly fortunately for the community at large, the Minister of Justice does not consider tbe possession of agreeable manners adequate grounds for releasing a dangerous criminal from the punishment awarded him from his crime.Information from Ottawa, which may be relied up n, says that the effort to secare s pardon for Fahey has completely failed and that :beère is no prospect of his 14 vesr san- \u2018ence of which only four years have heen served, being abridged.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014
