Prescott, Introduced in the House by Hon.Mr.Laurier and Mr, Watson\u2014Papers Want :d in Relation of the West India Mission of Mr, Foster\u2014Estimates Criticised.13.\u2014 Proceedicgs of the House to-day were dull in the extrens Tins mejority of members had already left for their homes to enjoy their Easter holidays and only a handful was left ts transact business.Cors:quent'y but little was done, and as a last resort the House went into supply for an hour, even though it was a private members day.Mr.Ross (Duudas) introduced a bill to revive and amend the act respecting the Ottawa, Waddington, and New York Railway and Bridge Company.Mr Proulx, the member elect for Prescott, was introduced by Hoo.Mr.Laurier and Mr.Watson, and took his seat, LL.Mr.Mulock withdrew his bill to amend the extradition act.He asked whether a proclamation has been is:ued bringicg into force the act passed in the 52nd year of Her Majesty's reign, entitled an act to amend the copyright act.If not, what is the cause of the delay.Sir John Thomrson replied that the proclamation had not been issued.Hs hoped to be able in a few days to communicate to the House the reasons why it had not been issued, Hon.Mr.Laurier asked whether the rig for North Perth had yet been ig.sucde Sir John Thompson turned to Mr.Haggart for information and gave a rely in the negative, whereupon Mr.aurier retorted that he presumed it would be issued in a few days.A number of unopposed retures were ordered among them three on motions by Mr.Beausoleil for papers inreference to the manufacture and growth of bset- root sugar ard the bounty thereon.Mr.Taylor had a motion for a return show- iag payments to permanent clerks for extra work between 1774 and 1878, to specify the page of the auditor-general\u2019s r3port, on which such payments were reported.But as Sir Richard Cartwright pointed out that there was no auditor- general before 1879,the House laughed Mr.Taylor out of moving the resolution.Hon.Mr.Mills moved for copies of all reports made by the Minister of Finance relating to hus official visi to the British West Iudies in reference to a more extensive trade with those colonies, also speeches which the Minister of Finance made at Kingston and elsewhere in the West Indies on the subject of trade between the British West Indies and Canada, together with any correspondence OTTAWA, April which may bave since taken place on the subject with the Colonial office and the West Indian authorities, Sir Jebn Thompson said that so far as he was aware, no report had been made by the Minister of Finance, He would be glad to bring down the speeches if any record had been kept of them.He was not aware of any correspondence with the Colonial office, or with anybody else, except with the Governments of the \u2018West Indies, which would be brought down.Hon.Mr.Mills replied that he wou'd be better able to judge of the value of Mr.Foster\u2019s speeches after he had read them.The uniform practice in all such missions, was that such speeches should be reported and put on record.The Government should follow the custom of precedent.All communications concerning such a mission should be reported to His Excellency and bis responsible advisers.A Minister who went abroad upon official business owed it to the cour try to report.If they were now disregard- izg constitutional practice, the Govera- ment might some day be compelled to revert to first principles.The following private bills were passed through committees, read a third time and passed: Respecting the Boiler Inspection and Insurance Co.of Canada, Mr, Coatsworth; respecting the Nova Scotia Steel and Forge Co.(Limited, ) Mr, Fraser; respecting the 11 Telephone Co.of Canada, Mr.Curran; aa act to incorporates the Victoria Life Insurance Company, Mr.Cockburn; respecting the Moutreal Board of Trade, Mr.Curran.The amendments by the Senate to the bill to incorporate the W.C.Edwards Co.were concurred in.The House then went into committee of supply, again considering the militia estimates, The opposition criticised the management of the Royal Military College pretty fully.Mr.Mulock stated thateach graduate of the college cost the country $3000 per annum and complained that the results were not commensurate with the expenditure.Hon.Mr.Bowell stated that out of 175 graduates, 100 were either in the employ of the Government or in the Imperial service: nine in the mounted police, three in artillery schools, 80 in the Imperial army, 20 in the infantry schools, four in the Royal Engineers, and two on tLe college staff.It was intended, he said, to employ as many graduates as ossible in the Government service.The Piborals also protested against the overburdening the college with officials who nearly equalled the number of students.The Minister promised to be more economical in future.The House adjourned at 6 o\u2019clock until Tuesday next.elt Got Inspector Byrnes\u2019 Position, New York, April 13.\u2014Police

C, Andrews of the New York Steam company has invented a scheme for beating the coal trust monopolists which he is shortly going t> put in cper.= tion.This is to bring coal direct to New York from the Pennsyle vania mines in a liquid form by meaas cfan immense pipe line weich is to be constructed for the purpose.The coal Will first be ground tr a fine powder and then mix:d with a large volume of water, which will be pumped into the yipes by powerful edgines.The gre.t Veiocity of the water as 1t passes thraugh the pipes, the estimated speed being from six to seven miles an hour, will prevent the coal dust from set ling, and 1t will be discharged at the New York end ot the pipe line in a liquid resembling in appearance ordinary ink, but of somewhat thicker consistency.This inky water will be allowed to spread out Into extensive tanks, where the coal dust will quickly settle to the bottom.The sediment will be collected and compressed into coal bricks of various size ready for use as fuel.Despite the immense first cost of this uadertaking it is c.aimed that it will be a money-making scheme.The idea is said to be President Andrews\u2019, and he has been working on it for the last eight years.Patents have been secured covering the various new processes Involved and machines for working the powerful pumps required are now being contructed ia Steubenville.Word on the pips line, which will start from the Connellsville coal region in Pennsylvania, where a large coal field has been secured by those interested in the scheme, will, it was 8aid to-day at the office of the steam company, be begun in a few days.The line will be construc:ed of 15 inch pipe, end it is es im+ted the discharging c-pacity at the New York end wiil be 10.000 tons of coal dust a day.À model of the proposed pips line on a small scale has been in operation in this city for some time, Itis connected with the steam company\u2019s station at Madison av- esue and Fifty-eighth street.The model pipe line extends about :wo blocks, starting from the station and ranning back to it again.It is said to work with compleie satisfaction and to prove that the scheme is perfectly feasible.The grinding up of coal and compressing it into bricks for fusl is not a new process, ee McCALL SUSTAINED, Program ot the President of The Now York Life Fully Carried Out.New York, April 13\u2014The annual election of the trustees of the New York Life Insurance Company took place today.47,00 votes were cast, the largest number in the history of the company.The entire number of votes cast were in favor of the

attack on the executive officers of the company.The resignations of trusters Edward Marein and Robert 8.Collins were accepted.The trustees ratified the election of Hugh 8, Thompson, civil Bervi.e

development of a country, as illuge trated by the sales of farm lands in the Souris district, in which section for the first three months of 1881, the sales were only 960 acres, whereas for the past

concern for the public verelfare by condoning and defending Bir Jokn Thompson's gag rule.Tue Gazelte «was contemptible enough in all con- @cence, while ignoring the matter ; but since breaking silence it has sunk fo à still lower dep:h of infamy.Within the past year The Gazette has defended the mingonstitu ional investigations by the Senate of a matter not within ita juris- «dicton, on the ground that the people\u2019s Énterest justified it.For a similar reason it applauded the vsurping by the L'eut.- Governor of Quebec of powers which even an autocratic sovereign a century ago would have hesitated to use; it justified tbe dismissal of the Mercier Govern- æment; it approved the deliberat- break- \u201cing of the clause in the British North America Act commanding the holding of 8 meeting of the Quehec Legislature man who was responsible was R.G.Brow ), a Toronto stock-broker who had effected a loan upon tke shares through bis Montreal correspondents, a well-known firm of stock\u2014brokers in tois city.; high official of the bank at once 1: ft for Toronto to interview Mr.Brown, but that euterprising individual had already got wind of his comiog and at once left for the domains of Uncle Sam, whers it is understood they have as yet failed to locate him.Brown afterwards returned the money and the shares were sent to the judge.ee THE FIRST CASE, An Attempt to Convict Under a Remarkable Law, The time of the Pulice Court was occupied yesterday afternoon with a pecu.iar case inasmuch as it was tre first of the kind ever brought before the courts.Judge Desnoyers presided.Ferdinand Collin was accused by Revenue Icspector Curless with having in his possession manufactur«d tobacco not put up iu packages.Mr.Sharpe, on behalf of Hon.J.8.Hall, representing the Dominion Government, conducted ths pro- secu'ion, end Mr.St.J«an appsared for the defence Ths defence claimed that the tobacco found was simply for per- sooal, use and this was substantiated uoder oath, Mr.8harps quoted trom the Act under which the case was taken, and while admitting that the law appeared abeurd, claimed that farmers growing tobacco were the ouly ones who could hold any quantity cat for personal use.Mr.St.Jean contended tat this was rediculous.Wha! would bas the use of purchasing raw tobacco if the purchaser could not use it?He said thas he frequently had as great a quautity of tobacco for his own use as that found in the possession of the accused.Judge Desnoyers said that he inclined towards the contentions of the defence, but as it was the first case of the kind he would take it en delebre for tbe purpose of examining the several sections of tha act quoted.The penalty for the offense is a fine of rot less than $200 or more than $500.The tobacco found in zny case.to be confiscated.DR.PARKHUKSI\u2019S DEFENCE, Ke Claims to Have Proved New York Police to be Lenguea With Criminals, New Yok, april 13.\u2014Dr.Parkhurst has a letter to the citizens of New Yo:k City, in which he says: \u201cMy object is not #0 much to defend the methods which I have seen it wise to adopt as to put in distinet shape the one object toward which I am working, whether as preacher or as president of the Society for the prey«ttion of crime.\u201d In the sermon preached from the same pulpit tour weeks later, 1 accepted the situatioa and squared myself to it, or tried to, and took and maintained the position that not only were the general charges that I had previously made, supported by facts, but speciically, that liquor saloons, gambling houses and otuer disreputable places, were protected by the police department apparently for a valuable consideration.My contention was then as now, and will continue to be with the controling powers of the police department, considered as the guardian of criminality, meaning by that simply what was comprised inthe presentmer of the March grand jury which beld up that department befure the community in the e character of a criminal, and it s'il hangs there.The evide 68 wblch with the aid cf detectives and friends I was essily able to collect, was secured with the dis- tint end of showing by unimpeachable testimony something of the extent of in.iamy and publicity of certain crimes with the necessary inference that if a police furce as com petent as ours is conceded to be, and in the possession of al those legal powers known to be accorded to it, fails to hold such crimes in stern check, it can only be because of having entered into some evil alliance with them.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The Grip Had Crazed Her.Itraca, N.Y., April 13.\u2014The wife of Alfred Hasbrouck committed suicide last night by jumping into Fall Creek from the bridge ai Forest

APRIL 14, THE TROUBLE IN WYOMING FIGHTING BETWEEN SHERIFF'S OFFICERS AND BUSTLERS, CATTLEMEN AIDING THE OFFICERS.The Affair Assnming Serious Proportions, a Fight Haviog Taken Place in Which Many Men on Both Sides Were Killed\u2014 \u2018fhe Kustlers Sending out for Re-inforce- ments\u2014Ualted States Troops Called Oat: RY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.GasrxB, Wyo., April 18.\u2014Fightiog between cattlemen and sheriffs\u2019 officers on one hand and \u201crustlers\u201d on the other, bas been going on for a day or two, and according to reports, at least 50 men have been killed so far.The most sanguinary combat ie said to have taken place not far from Riverside, between the posse of Sheriff Angus.of Jobneon County, numbering 150, and a large party of rustlers, during which the latter are said to bave lost 28 ard the former 18 men killed, Many were wounded on both sides, but the number is not koown, The fighting was altogether with rifles at long range.Sheriff Angus went to the aid of Fred.Hesse, and Charles Ford, who with 100 men, had 50 rustlers, under command of #Nate\u201d champion, surrounded at the \u201cT\" a ranch on the Powder river, ro: far from Gilletie, but were cut off from the town.Champion was kilied in the fight.Telegrams from Gillette say a party cf 40 rustlers passed through there Monday, going to the reliefof rustler Champion, but whether these were the men who met the sheriff\u2019s posse is not positively known, In the fight at the\u2018 T\u201d ranch several men were wounded and some killed.All the Platte River towns are filled with ranchmen who have been driven in by the rustlers.Couriers are scouring the coanty for reinforcements for the rustlers and they are rapidly comirg in.They claim they will be two bundred or three hundred stronger to-day and able to handle any force the invaders can muster.General Barber last night received a telegram from President Harrison stated that he had in compliance with the request made by Barber, for United Sixtes to protect the State of Wyoming from domestic violence, ordered the Secretary of War to concentrate a sufficient number of the soldiers trom Fort McKinney,Wvo., to co-operate with the authorities in effecting a settlement of the present difficulties between the cattlemen and rustlers, The troops wili lose no time in going to the scene of action.\u2014e>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 An Importaut Warning.To the Editor of the Herald : Dzar Sin, \u2014The followlng paragranh which recently appeared in the legal re- poris of the Toronto newspapers, is of vital importance to the people of Canada : Q.B.AND C.B.DIVISIONS, Before STREET, J.FULFORD V.HowE.\u2014Hoyles, Q.C., for the plaintiff, George Tay!or Fuitord, vf the town of Brockville, druggist, mnoved for an injunction restraining the defendants, 8.L.Howe and W.A.Howe, from selling pills in imitation of those sold by Lhe pluintif under the name of \u2018Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills tor Pale People,\u201d and thereby infringing the p aintitt\u2019s trade wmark for such pills registered under that name which, the plaintiff alleges, by reason of hls extensive advertising, is wet known throughout Canada, Judgment granted for a perpetual injunction.An old adage has it that \u201cimitation is the sincerest flattery,\u201d but when imica- tion takes the form of palming off upon the public worthless, perhaps positively harmless drugs, iu imitation of a popular remedy, it is quite time the public js aroused to a sense of the injustice done them.There is no otber proprietary remedy in Canada to-day tuat approaches Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills in the esteem and confidence with which it is regarded by the people.And justly eo, as this remedy hus to its credit cures in cases where even the most eminent men in the ranks of medical Science bad pronounced the patients incurable.\u2018These cases haye been thoroughly investigated by such leading newspapers as The Toronto Globe, Hamilton limes, Spectator and Herald, Halifax Herald, Detroit News, Albany Journal, LeMonde, Montreal, and others, and their accuracy vouched for.Thus Dr.Wilhams\u2019 Piok Pills bave achieved a continental reputation, with the result tbat we find dealers here and there imposing upon tue public by selling in their stead tor the eaake of extra profit, worthless imitations.These 1mitatio.s are sometimes given names somewbat approaching the origi nal, while in other Csses the dealer, while not openly offering an imitation, imposes upon tbe customer by declaring that he can give them sometbing \u201cjust as good.\u201d In still other cases Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills are openly imitated in size, color and shape, aod are sold in loose form by the dozen or hundred as the g-nunine Pink Pills.Against all these imitations the pubiic should be constantiy en their «vard.Theres absolutely no otuer pill, or no other remedy, that can take the place of Dr.Williame' Pink Pills as a nerve tonic and blood builder.To purchase apy \u2018mitation.any substitute, or any remedy said to bes \u201cjust as good\u201d is a worse than useless expenditure of money.The public can protect t:em- selves against all imitations ot this great remedy 1fthey will remember that Dr.Williams\u2019 Piok Pills are never sold in balk,or by the d zen or hundred.They are always put up ia neat round box Crom fe.Bo Manager ansdian Rank Commerce __ For Sale to Close Consignments, Bleaching Powder, Soda, Ash, Sal Soda, Sal Ammoniac.or Common and Nasareth

to-day took an unexpected turn in the direction of the bank stocks, Montreal being the feature.Buying orders for this stock were numerous trom outside the city, and there was a rush to secure what there was, causing the stock fo jump up to 227 at first and 1t afterwards sold up to 2284.It is also reported that a large selling order which has been hol ling over for some time has been closed, and this eased the sto:k; 321 shares changed hands.Hochelaga, Molsons, and Outario were also bandled and Commerce sold up to 140 for a small block.There has been a steady demand for this latter stock lately and under steady buying it has advanced 4 per cent in the last week.Cable was very active to-day and was a little stronger opening ai 158} or § better than yesterday and sold up to 1584 but weakened a little this afternoon.The total dealings amounted to 2,000 shares.Street Raiiway was a little beiter than yesterday, opening at 221, but weakened somewhat this afiernoon.R:chelieu contiaued to advance opening at 75 a full point better than yesterday and touched 76}, this reing the highest point reached by the stock for some time.550 shares were dealt in.Telegraph was steady at about yesterday\u2019s figures and was not remarkably active.The dividend cheques have not been sent out as yet, and some dissatig- faction is expressed at the delay.The cotton stocks continue to gain

13.\u2014AII the good effect of the reduction of the Bank of Evgiand rate bas been lost upon the stock market because London has been on holiday ail this n esk ; there hes been none of the foreign buying which under ordinary circamstapces would be natural.Instead the market has been virtually abandoned by all the interests that have foreign relations, and such in- térests are of a good deal more consequence than the average observer is likely to imagine.In our market, too, the week\u2019s business practically ends tu morrow, for, with tbe Good Friday holiday intervening, the session of Saturday will amount to nothing.Under such circumstances there can be no temptation to trade except by those who care only to scalp.With the beginning of next week however, there ought to be opportunities ample enough to induce free trading.Issues between the bull and bear sides will be clearly defined.The bear contention is that there is no puolic in the market, no sap- port, no basis for a rise, that many THE MONTREAL HERALD, stocks are selling far above their intrinsic values,above quotations warranted by present earnings and pear by prospects.The ball claim 18 that stocks are under their real worth that they bave been unduly denressed by scares and raids, that the big earnings of the past month have n ignored, that money 18 almost unprecedently cheap.For the present it is

following: The condition of the money market during tte past week have been very si:ailar to those usually incidental to the termination of the first quarter of the year.Short money has been very much wanied, while discount rates have receded.The market began to go to the bank at an early date, 8s that the pressure just at the end of March was not excessive.There was, nevertheless, a good deal of movement of balances, and supplies were reduced by twospecial demands.Inthe first placa, the India Council called in money very largely 10 order to place themselves in funds to retite a million of Oude and Robilkund three and a-halt debentures, due on April 1st, while there was also à good deal of calling in of loans by bankers with a view to the presentation of satisfactory monthly gta ements of account.Brokers have complained a good deal of the action of the banks in thus callivg in money so freely at a time when there is an extra demand, and they have designeted the last day of the month as the bankers\u2019 \u201cshowe window day.\u201d They complained that the fact of bankers not keeping larger reserves, and simply calling in money at the last day of the month, not only disturbs the value of money for that particular day, but raises the value of short loans for fully a week previous In all probability money a week hence will be extremely cheap; but on Thursday last brokers had, in many cases, \u2018o go to the Bank of Engiand, and pay as much as 3 per cent, and over, and some of the brokers bad again to go to day.Some brokers who bave not had easy money books have qucted high rates for discount, but this has not pravented a good demand in other quarters, and the rate for three months bankers\u2019 acceptances, which a week ago was within a tractiou of 1 per cent, has steadily failsn until we have had business at 1§ per cent, and that, too, not for forward business, but inready bills.Brokers have even taken bills at 1} per cent, at 96.95 and with the condition of paying for them after the dividend distribu tions.The : quotation for 60-day bills, which was also very firm at about 1} to 2 per cent early in the week, bas also give1 way, and six months\u2019 bills, which were retused at anything under 1, bave since been taken at 1§.One circumstance which, apart trom the prospect of easier money, has helped to depress discount rates has leen the absence of the foreizn demand for gold, which fr soms montbs past absorbed every available amount coming to hand in the oven market.This foreign demand bas vow entire y cvdsed, and the Bank of England has received several amouu's of bar go'd.press Baffles Human Conception.Nature\u2019s all poweriul healer is die- covered and when imbibed freely radiates the arterial network of the boly, absorbs and

delivery, Cash wheat is about 2} to 3 cents per bu.higher.Desirable qual- i:ies scarcely obtainable except at an extravagant premium.The weather in the spring wheat region continues very unfavorable for seeding.The movement from interior elevators towards vhe seaboard is quite liberal, indicatioss are that the clearauces will be large and the farmers deliveries ligbt uniess the price should materially advance.There was quite an active demand for good grades acd sample lots of corn and oats.St.Louis rsported } million corn taken for export.Receipts of hogs are fairly liberal, but the demand for bog product was much larger than it has been for several days past.Speculative futures were higher, partiy due to the advance in wheat, The advanca in cotton is already being felt favorably

of the present year amounted to 12,100 tons of ore, 6057 tons of regulus, 1415 tons of copper and 3898 tons of precipitate.Of this 611 tons of ore and 376 tons of regulus comes from Newfoundland, the balance being from South America, South Africa, and the Continent.The total exports for the same period are 3114 tons 17 cwt.Stock of foreign copper produce unsold in Swansea on April 20d is as follows: 3077 tons ore, 7877 tons copper and 580 tons precipitate, which is equivalent to about 8630 tons fine copper.In addition to the above thers is in Warehouse here 2102 tons of English Copper (G.M.Bs.) which is a reduction of 450 tons on the quantity in Stock on the 2nd ultimo.The Sales during the past month consist of 950 tons of Mason and Barry's precipitate to arrive at 8-9; 110 tons Indian Ore at 8-4} and 150 tons Nama- qua Ore at 8-9 per unit, both spot.Chile Charters for the first hall of March wera estimated at 1000 tons and for the second half 750 tons fine, The total visible supply of Copper is given as adout 54200 tons against 56700 on the lst March, thus showing a decrease of 2500 tons.À very 1«rge trade was done in G, M, B.'s lsst month, and the market at certain times was active and excited in cone sequence of the reported negotiations for restriction of out-put of the American mines having been successfai, and the possible willingness of the European companies to co-operate in the same di rection.As, however, it did not become definitely known whether an arrangement had actually Ween arrived at, prices did not long remain at their bighest point.The reported caviug in of the main shaft of the Anaconda Mine also helped to put prices up for soma days until £47 158 was reached on the 22nd for cash parcels.A reaction subse quently set in and £45 103 was accepted on the 30th, but a slight improvement took place on the 3lst, when business was done at £46 58 cash, and £46 17s 6d, three months.Quotations to-day are as follows: Cop- per\u2014Ores and

single exception of 1848, and secondly by the utter collapse of the silver market on the r-jection ot the free coinage bill in the United States, bars being down to 39d, the lowest price on

atterd to the arduous duties involved in the secretaryship of the association.The proposition was seconded by several members ana carried unanimously.The abolishment of the office of treasurer gave an opening for a vote of thanks to be tendered to the gentleman who bad filled tbat position so well during the past.This office will in future be amalgamated with that of the secretarv.After the general meeting was finished the president thought that as most of the committee were then present it would be better to call a meeting of the officers for the purpose! of electing the team captain ard

There they also found a clue to the alleged thieves.Shortly after noon they arrested a young man named Mont- petit.They then went in searcb of the second, a man named Ouelette.Lafontaine, claiming to be a butcher in search of help, got Ouelette\u2019s mother to send for her son, and by followirg the messenger they succeeded in effecting his arrest.On Lis person was found a gold watch stolen of Mr.Boudreau, a butcher of Inspector street, last October; thus another robbery mystery was solved.A chain stolen with the watch was traced to Xavier Vendette, watchmaker, of 2,381 Notre Dame street.The two alleged thieves will be arraigred in tke Police Court to-day, A Petite Cote Farmer Burned Out.The dwelling and outbuildings of Mr, Patrick Donahue, farmer of Petite Cote, were slmost

Mr Cardinal entered the shop of a barber named Thouin {2 be shaved.There were a lot of people in the shop, and while he was being ahaved bis umbrella was stolen.He sued to recover the cost of the article from the proprietor of tke store, The Court deciled that barbers were responsible for any article lost by their customers while in their shops, and in consequence gave judgment in favor of the plaintiff for the price of the umbrella and costs of suit, e\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014r An Alleged Bold Bad Man, The sensationalism with which the arrest of one John Murray on Tuesday night was garnished lost considerable of its merit und r the light of cold facts when the accused was called in the Police Court yesterday.Instead of being accused of having a numberless collection of keys for the stalls of Bonse- cours Market, and a quantity of supposed stolen fruit in his possession, he was simply charged with the petty thefc of a \u201ccornhusk\u201d mat.Of such little value was the ar!icle in question that its owner refused to prosecute, and asa consequence John Murray was discharged from custody.BREVITIES, The ferry steamer for Longueuil now runs regularly, leaying at the same

formally opened by Sir Donald A.Smith who had only returned from Ottawa by the even- Ing train and came straight from the depot.He entered the hail a little before 9 o'clock, and after making a close and careful 1uspection of the exhibits, with wbich he seemed very much pleased, he ascended the platform accompanied by the president, Mr.Me- Kenna, and the Rev.Edgar Hill.The president briefly introduced Sir Donald who said it had given him great pleasure on previous occasions to formally open the Montreal florists show of spring flowers, and he had equal pleasure in performing that duty again.He said the gardeners and florists of Montreal were worthy ot ail the support that could be given them.A few years ago such a display as they now saw could not be got here; the people of Montreal had to send to Boston and other cities for rare flowers but now they were grown here in the city and were much fresher and better than when they had to be brought from a distance.There were great difficulties to contend with here on acc unt of climate hut Montreal need not now be ashamed of any city, Sir Donald then introduced the Rev.Edgar Hill who he said could tell them more about flowers than he could.Tne Rev.gentleman spoke in high praise of the endeavours made by the gardeners of Montreal to cultivate such beautiful and rare flowers as they saw in the room there.He said we should always welcome flowers for they came to us after winter and as the harbingers of spring.He hoped the citizens of Montreal in their efforts in preducing such specimens as be had just been examining, and then they would see larger and finer displays year by year.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Nearly Ready for the Steamers, The wharf rat has awakened from his short winter sleep and is to he seen daily on the wharf.The only thing he can see at present is the cleaning off of the ice and snow and hundreds of men are working at this in order to have everything in readiness for the erection ofthe sheds and the arrival of the steamers.The Beaver Line wharf was considerably damaged by the ice, and a diver paid a visit there yesterday morn- 1Ng to ascertain what repalrs would be necessary.The diving apparatus was a curiosity to quite a erowd of people who watched the proceedings a: d criticised the dangerous nature of the work, Most of the ramps have been opened and Some of the steamship companies have already started to haul material.THE &, T.R's.GRBAT LOSS.Death of General Passenger Agent Willlam Edgar, Yesterday, The flag on the General Officag of the Grand Trunk Railway was at half mast yesterday out of respect to the memory of the late Mr.William Edgar, general passenger agent of the G.T.R.system, who died unexpectedly at 11 o'clock yesterday morning at his residence, 262 Bishop street.Mr.Edgar has been ailing for some time past.He had an attack of the grip early in the year which conficed him to the house for some ten weeks.His invincible energy led him to return to business before he was properly recovered, and this premature exposure resulted in bis contracting a severe cold which culminated in an attack of pneamonia that proved too much for hig already enfeebled constitution, Mr.Edgar was widely known throughout Canada as an able railway official.His frank and genial manner with bis subordinates won for him their affection.while his bnginess talents comntanded their respect.His death will be regretted by all who ever came in con act with him, and tae fact that he leaves 8 widow after barely six montba of married life, is an additional claim upon their sympathy.Mr.Edgar was born at Birkenhead, Cheshire, on June 14, 1841.He came to this country a mere boy, and on October 13, 1856, at the age of 15, he secured a position as junior clerk in the stationery department of the Great Western Rail- THE LATE MR, EDGAR.way.This was his first step upon the railroad ladder; but he was destined to mount to its highest rungs.During the twelve years that followed he rose step by step, being at different times clerk in the stores and audit departments, and rising to be chief clerk iu the General Ticket Agents office, In July 1869 he was appointed district passenger agent for the Western Divisiun with headquarters at Detroit, and in the following Jannary he became General Ticket Agent for the same road.In November 1875 he became General Passen_er Agent for the Great Western, and on the absorption of that road by the Grand Trunk Rallway he received the appointment of Assistant General Passenger Agent over the combined roads, and was stationed at Toronto.In July 1884 he was promoted to be General Passenger Agent for the Grand Truck system, and r°>moved to this city, and this important position he held up to the time of his untimely decease.Mr.Edgar was only 50 yeats old when he was called away, and yet he had been over 34 years in the employ of the two roads.He was well known, not only in Canada, but throughout the United States, and his genial presence and kindly manner will be missed at the many meetings of general passenger agents he wag in the habit of attending.He was a member of the church of St.James the Apostle in this city, and the funeral services wi'l probably be held there.The funeral is fixed for Saturday afternoon, Sympathy in Hamilton, HAMILTON, Ont., April 13.\u2014The news of the death of William Edgar, general passenger agent of the Grand Trunk Railway in Montreal, was received here wih much regret.Mr.Edgar came to Hamilton with his father when only a boy.He learned the railroad basiness here and lived here almost all his life.He was very popular in business and Social circles, and hundreds of friends will mourn his death.Many Hamil- tonians intend going to Montreal to attend the funeral on Saturday.22m A SATISFACTORY YBAR.Annual Meeting of the Dominion Cotton Company.The annual general meeting of the Dominion Cotton Company was held in the Company\u2019s offices in this city yesterday afternoon.Mr.A.F.Gault occupied the chair, and among the shareholders present were Messrs Jacques Grenier, RL, Gault, J O Yilleneuve, 8 Ewing, C Gault, David Morrice, J HR Molson, J P Cleghorn, Charles Garth, Dr.Lovejoy, J.McLennan ard others.Owing to the low cost of raw cotton during the period under review, and the fact that, as each mill was run upon the lines most fitted to its capabilities, the cost of produ ction has been diminished to the lowest possible point, the year\u2019s business was a satisfactory one.During the twelve month's the Company paid four quart-rly dividends of 2} per cent.each, aud was able to carry forward a small balance to the credit of profit and loss ; with the result tnat the stock rules to-day at 165 to 170.The company now controls the output of 10 mills carrying 4500 looms.Of these, 500 looms are run exciusively on goods for the China trade, It paid outin wages during the year the sum of $758,- 659 to 1ts 3500 employees, and it used 26,000 bales of cotton in the manufacture of 44,000,000 yards of cloth and 9,000,000 yards of print, The directors reported that they had acquired the Darling property, measur- L.g 65,000 feet, opposite to the Hochele ga mills, and intended te erect thereon Spacious storehouses.The old board ot directors was then re-alected and the meeting adjourned.eel BACK TO ST, BONIFACE.Rey, Father Drummond Departs From the St, Mary\u2019s College, Bt.Mary'e College, Bleary street, is at present without & rector as the Rev, Father Drummond, 8.J.the late incam- bent of the office has been sent to 8t, Boniface, Man, to assume the duties of joint examiner for the University of Winnipeg.The rev.gentleman was formerly statiened at St.Boniface where he was highly esteemed sothat he will be no stranger in the new field of labor.The Rev.Father Hudon, superior of the Jesuit order in Montreal has not yet decided on Father Drummond\u2019s successor as rector for St.Mary's College, The position, however, will probably be filled immediately after Easter, HONORED BY ALL CLASSES.Funeral ofthe Late Mr, Charles Glackmeyer, City Clerk.The funeral of the late lamented city clerk, Mr.Glackmeyer, took
