SLAIN.\u2014\u2014 Sketch of the Origin of the Ditfficulties\u2014The President Palacio Prectpitated it by Trying to Succeed Himself Despite the Constitution\u2014The Leader of the Insurgents.RY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.Ngw York, April 2L.\u2014A cable to The Herald from Puerio, Cabello, Venezuela, says : This ceaport is in a terrible state of excitement over the utter route of tbe Government troors on Aprill£.At sundown on that date, Palacio\u2019s army made its final and futile attempt to dislodge a force of insurgents under the command of Gen.Mora who were intrenched at a spot beyond Polito.Twice the Government soldiers bad attacked the enemy and failed to drive it from i's position.Discouraged over their ill success, Palacios troops showed sigos of panic, but under the stirring appeals of the leader, they rallied apd again charged the foe.The encounter was brief \u2018but furious.TLey were defeated all along the lire, and turning, fled in every direction.The 10- surgents followed in hot pursuit and did notabandon 1t until the terror-stricken government troo,s were well on the road to this tywn.There were many dead, dying and wounded left upon Some of them were rebels, but ci.e large majority were followers of Palacio.Nothing definite could be learned as to the exact vumber of those 8 ain, but it is officially annouuced that the Government lost one-third of its force in the encounter.Of this lcss, by far the greater portion wae caused Ly deaertions.As soon as Palacio\u2019s men saw that they were overcome, many of them threw down their arms and went over to the enemy.The news of the battle\u2019s result spread terror throughout Puerto Cabello.It was almcst immediately f llowed by general conscription order.The town has 9000 inhabitants.Every able-bodied man among them has been forced into military service.This state of affairs naturally has had the effect of almost paralvzing the ent re commerce cf the port.The revolution in Venezuela has now been under way for nearly a mouth.It was caused by the arbitrary acts of Palacio, the President.The counstituiion of the Republic states specifically that the President is not eligitle to re-elec- tion except after one term or more shall have intervened tetween bis incumbency of the Chief Magistracy of the nation and bis candidscy for another term.Dr, Raimundo Andueza Palacio, the present President, came to tbe conclusion early in his administration that two years would not be sufficient for him in his exalted station.He sought to have the Cons itution amencel so that the President should not only be eligible to re-election immediately after completing bis term but that be should hold office four years instead of twe.The proposition was favorably received by the country, but the hitch came when the president wanted the amended constitution put in force immediately.B th Blouses of Congress held that the amendment should nut take effect except with tbe beginning of the next administration, This d1d not suit Andueza; He therefore sought by every means in bis power to get the amendment put in force immediately, and the contest thus arising continued steadily from day to day and week to week.I: reached a crisis on February 20th last.when Congress was to meet.Palacio, aware that his supporters in both Houses were in the minority, thoight to compe] the fulfilment of bis designs by instructing them to absent themselves from the opening sessions, thus making it impossible to have a qu rum.The dead-lock continued without any signs of being broken and at length the majority held a meeting of indignation, and, as a result, issued a manifesto to the country desouncicg the presideut as a tyrant and usurper, and declaring they had dissolved Congress.This decisive and revolutionary action was taken early last month, In the twinkling of an eye the people were up lo arms against the scheming ruler.He, on the other band, sent his minions right and left into the ranks of the opposition, and had them thrown into prison.Not even the person of a judge of the Corte de Casaciun, t e highest court in the land, or that of the clerk of the cou t was safe from their grasp, for both ot these high officials were igno- minicusly arrested and locked up.Their cocfreres promptly passed a reso- lation dissolving the court and densunc- ing tLe President as a usurper of extraordinary rights in violation of the constitution and contrary to the laws which he had p'eiged himself to respect and enforce.Thus Venezuela found herself without a Congress, wi:hout a Court of Appeals, and presently the Supreme Court also could no longer perform its functions.All authority was therefore thrown into Palacio's hands and he found himselt an absolute dicta- r.Tae leade:s of the Opposition in the Senate were Doctor Manoz Tebar and Doctor Bustamente.The incarnation of the revoluti n to-day is General Joaquin Crespo.He was also In the Senate when the couflict was participated, but was debarred by lack \u2018of oratorical and like abilities from taking a commanding position.When, however, it became ag- parent thas the burning gnestion could only be solved by an appeal to arms, the people, recalling his glorioue achi ve- ments on mar y battle-fields, and recognizing in him the highest military authority in the land, turned to him as the only man who was capable of leading them to victory.Cr.spo readily assented, and immediately betook himself our of Caracas, the stronghold of Pa- lacio, and in the interior, «mong bis llanerg and other f-1ttfal folluwers of Prévicus campaigos, immediately set to work to organize an army.Crespo is à man ot about 46 years of &z* an great wealth.He was President of Veneznela from 1884 to 1886, and, NO.95.lontreal Tferald MONTREAL, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1892.originally the creature and almost the slave of Guzman Blanco, at length turned against him, and is now, as he has lorg bern, one of that ex-Pictator\u2019s most b'tter enemies, The man sgainet whom Crespo is pited ie Dr.Sebastian Caranas, who bes been Palacio\u2019s right-hand man throughout bis eprire administration.In tbe cabinet he bas hitherto held tbe portfolio of Minister of t'.e Interior.Pula- cio has now appciuted him general-in- chief of the army, notwithstanding the fact that he is vot a military man « ither in training or experi=nce.He was educated for the med:cal profession.There is hardly any doubt us to how be will fare aginst such a consummate military chieftain as Ciespo.The city of Caracas, upon which all eyes are naturally turned in the present excitement, is oae of the oldest and most prominent in various other parficu- lars of the South American capitals.It was founded at the foot of tne Avila Mou.tain in 1567 by Captain Diego de Lozada, and is famed : s the city w herein the idea of South American independ- ecce since Bo grandly achieved, was born.There, also, Simon Bolivar, who is worthily refsrrec to as the George Washington of South America, first saw the lizht of day.It has a population.sccording to the census of 1888, of 70.466 souls, and though in the main not remarkable for irs architecture, is yet possessed of a fair number of imposing and pretentious structuree., \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE LAST gAD RITES.Sarnie Filled With People Aitending Hon.Alex, MacKenzie's

the Ignorance, but it Didn't Work That Way.' LIBERALS HaD A FIELD-DAY The Manner in Which They Exposed to the People of Canada What the Hon, John Carling did not Know About Matters Pertaining to his Department was De- cldedly Interesting, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.Orrawa, April 21\u2014The Hovsa reassembled to-day, and in a sitting of nearly eight hou s did considerable bust- ness, in which, as usual now-a-days, the honors of debate rested with tte opposition.They were able to prove that Mr.Tupper\u2019s bill to amend the steamboat inspection, was an invasion of toe rights of parliament, and they bad an overwhelming advantage when Ms Carling endeavoied to explain the estimates of the Agricuitural Department.Rarely in the history of Canada has the responsible head of a department shown himse'f so hopelessly ignorant of the details of the department which his colleagues say he has at his finger enda, If Mr.Carling cannot do better than be did to-night the whole of his party will come to the opinion of the Conservative M.P.who said to The Herald to-night: \u201cand that is the man for whom we have to bear the odium and degradatign attacked to the London elections.\u201d The S,eaker forurally announced the election of Dr.Colter in Carieton, N.B., and that gentleman was introduced by Hon.Mr.Laurier and Mr.Gilmore, and took his seat, amidst Liberal applause.S.r Jon Thompson introduced a bill respecting witnesses and evidence.He explained that the bill, among other things, gave an accused person the right to testify in hfa or her own behalf.The bill was read a first time.Sir John Thompson said that Vice- Regal assent having been given to them, he would move that the House do tomorrow resolve iteelf into committ-e upon the resclutions respecting increase of judges salaries, Ihe motion was carried.Lord Knutsford's Message, A message was received from tbe Gov- ernor-General, trai smitting to the House a despsten from Lord Knutsford, colonial secretary, in reply to a message of sym- pati.y sent to the Prince and Princess of Wales at the opeviog of tie session.Lord Knutford\u2019s reply reads thus: DowNING STREKT, March 31, 1892, M.LorD,\u2014I have the honor to acknow- leage the 1cceipt of Your Loidship\u2019s despatch of the llth instant, and lo acquaint sou that I have communicated to their Royal High- nesses the Prince and Princessof Wales, the addresses accompanying it wbich were presented to you by the Senate and House of Commons of Canada on the occasion of the death of H.R, H.the Duke of Clarence and Avondale, The [\u2019rince and Princess of Wales have been much touched by these expres- ions ol condolence, and hue desired me to request that your Lordship will convey to both Houses of the Legislature of the Do- minjon their best thanks for the sympathy expressed in these addresses which has been an additional solace to them in their bereavement, Steamboat Iuspectlion Act, The Houss went isto commit\u2018es on the bill to amend the steamboat iuspec- tion act, the provieions of which have already been explained in Tne Herald, During the discussion ou the measure Mr.Hazen declared that the old act respecting steamboat inspection bad been a dead letter and pever carried out whereupon, Hon.Mr.Mills declared that his statement fully justified big contentiun that Parliament should take more interest in measur s it was assed to pass.The House should be mcre than a mere registering machine for the Government and the time had come when an end thould be put to the system oy which Parliament was asked year by year to amend Legislation pending for the working of the various departments, Mr.Hazen'\u2019s remarks were in bis opinion the worst possible criticism of the methods of the administration of tbe Marie department by Mr.Tupper ard wera un- doubtable proof that affairs had been malad ministrated.Mr.Hazen rushed to Mr.Tupzer\u2019s defence and claimed that the Legislation was Justified by marine regula ions in force at its passage, bat which had since passed away.Mr.Welsh poked fun at Mr, Hazen\u2019s newly acqu'red knoasledge of marine matters.!t was something new fora lawyer to be 80 well posted about life boat and buck:\u2018s.Ia Lis opini.n the regulation requiring these articles to be of metal was ridiculous.He asked the Hous whether in the event of a disaster ut sea it would prefer to trust for safety \u20180 a metal buckei or a good oaken bucket.His answer came quickly, for from both sides came cries of \u201cthe old oaken bucket.\u201d Mr.Davies protested against the principle of tbe bili which sought to give ower to the Governor-in-Couacil.egislation was the privilege of Parliament and sh.u!d not be relegatad to any other body.\u2018The bill was discussed at some length.Commodore Welsh caused some amusement by bis statement that 1t seemed to him that the object of the bill was to compel every vesssl flying tue Dominion flag to carry a lawyer on board.The bill was reported.The Militia Estimates, The House then went into supply, taking up the items for the permanent corps, #470,000.Mr.Casey quoted ex- ten:ively from General Herberts report to prove that the permanent schools had turned out an utter failure.Mr.Bowell promised to consider the general\u2019s remarks, but denied that the permanent schouls had been mismanaged by the department.The large number of d-sertions was, he claimed, due to the small rate of pay and tha enforcement of too severe regulations.The whole question was surrouodod by many difficuities, and he hoped, with the gene eral\u2019s aid, to overcome these and to make the permaueat forces the success they should be, After recess the consideration of the militia estimates was resumed, Mr.Bowell stated that in his opinion schools had been a reat prac:ical value to the 3 force.He would endesvor to asodity the 8Y8tem by whch officers had to go the schools ty secare their certihcates.Col.O\u2019Brien complained that under the Present aystem tue schocls lost their é.ucational character and were losing thal characteristic by becoming mere regiments for show purpores.What Mr.Carling didn\u2019t Koow, On the item for the experimental farms Mr, Carling said that it wes not yet B 8- sib'e to reduce the expendi ue.The $75.000 spent last year was bearly sufficient to meet tle requiremens of tue farms, He hoped however to in future reduce the expenditure considerably.Mr.MacMillan (Huaron,) complained that the House had been deceived in reference to the amount required for these farms.When they wero Grat started Mr.Carling promised that the centr.) farm and all the Branch stations would not cos: more than $200,000 yetsince then far more had been expende?.The annual egpsrditure it was predicted would not exceea $40,000 yet, now, $75,600 was asked, In reply Mr.Carling fell upon the excuse that full details of the vork dore had been given in the reports of Prof.Saunders and others distributed all over the country.Last year 4728 samples of new oats wera distributed to the farming ¢ mmupity, also 284 samples barley, 2221 dt sprivg wheat, 959 of corn, 149 ot rye and 235 of potatoes, and bad been eftensed by satisfactory results.He referred to the grain growing experiments, the instruction given in butter and cheese, and the tests of different varieties of fruits as proofs of the good work done by the farm, , À Slipshod, Haphazard Way.Mz.Davies asked what had been the totel expenditure on each farm, the re- ceipté from each farm, and the loss upon each station.Mr: Cariing was unable to give the in- formgtion, whereupon Mr.Davies protested against proceedibg with the estimates without these fignres.Such a slipskod, haphazard way of asking Parliament t>transact its business was ridi- culoug.In England the head «f every depatment gave full information before asking Parliament to vote its estimates, Mr, Patt-rson, of Brant, supported the doctripe laid down by Mr.Davies, and thereüpon the Finance Minie:er rushed to bis colleague\u2019s assistance, by stating that tbe adnption of the Liberals proposal woul introduce a very unwhole- som\u201d system into the House.(Opposition, hear, hear).The Government could not covsent to such a policy.M .Patterson contended that it was the Ministers duty to bave all information concerning his department at his finger ends, .My Carlirg protested that all informa- on foncerniog the farms was in Prof.Sandpr\u2019s report for last year presented to Patlian edt.Mr, Patterson asked him to state briefly wi:at was In that report, but tbis only served to further illosirate the ministers igncrance for he fell back upon the excuse tuet he could not he expected to dg he resding for tLe opp sition, When Le sat down Mr.Daviis said tha{ the Ministers manifestation of ignorance was the best justification for his requ-st for information.Mr.Carl- ing\u2019s statement that Saunders\u2019 report for this year would be ready next week was the very reason why the estimates should not be proceeded with, Not orly did the Minister not know wuat he should, but his report contained noue of the facts necessary and required by parliament.Two Rowed Barley Question, Mr, McMillan urged a better syste of book-keeping in order thatthe farmers might know whether the farms paid expenses.Dr.Sproule tried to defend the minister by urging that all the icformation asked fur bad already been distributed 18 paunnhlet form, Sir Richard Cartwright protested against the delay in producing the Experimental Farm's report.He asked Mr.C rling to state what were the prospects of prcducing two-rowed barley in Canada, as well as of developing our trade with Great Britain in eggs and other produce now shut out of the United States markets, Mr.Carling replied that Prof.Saunders told Lim that wbenever six rowed bsr- ley could be grown two rowed was a success.He read a letter from an English expert stating that two rowed barley grown in Canada was worth 92 cents per bushel, and as barley could ba grown aud shipped from Toronto for 27 cents, a profit of 65 certs was leit for the farmer.He urged that Canadian tarmers should take greater care ia preparing their barley for the market.Mr.MeMil'en from personal experience said that it would pay the farmer better to grow 6 rowed barley and pay 30 cents duty by sending it to the Buffalo market than it w ud to grow 2 row:d barly and ship :t ty England.Col.Tyrw.itt\u2019s experience was that the tworowed barley was more protitable than the six roxed species.Last year the former nettd him 8 ceats per bushel more than the latter.Mr.McMillan (Huron) said his ex- petiance was the same as that of Mr.McMu'len while Clarke Wallace mentioned the names of several of his con- sti utuents who had been successful with the two rowed barley.More Evidence of Neglect, Mr.Charitoa ridiculed the policy o the Government to s:cure a marxet in England at great expense +hile they neglected all opportuni.tes of æcuring vur ratural market across the border.The discussion afterwards turned on the minor details of the expenditure, bat on these the Liberals got as little satisfaction from t.e minister as before.Mr.Casey made a good bit when he remiadcd the committee that they should mt blame the minister, for instead cf attending to his exparimental farms he had been attending to experimental voters\u2019 lists.Ladoga wheat and other varie:ies of grain were not handled, all to the disadvantage of the minister.In answer to Mr.Mu'ock Mr.Carling admitted that there had been several cages of tubercu- logis on the farm last fall, but that no effort was made to discover where the disease originated.20 The remainder of the agricu'tural estimates wer» passed, and the House adjourned at 12:25 a.m.pe At the Girl's Evangelistic Hall, St.Catherine street, yesterday a good number of peop'e assembled to bear one of the popular lectures that have been pro, vided by the Y.W.C.T.U.The speaker w1s Dr.Wesley Mills.who took for his gubject \u2018The Biolozical Education of Children.\u201d The lecture was most inte:- esting and was attentively listened to throughout, IN MUCH TROUBLE The Government Getting Into Deep Water Over the Caron Erquiry Burking.LIVELY TIMES PROBABLE, Str Adolphe Caron (Claims That the Government Has Just As Much Right to Protect Bim From the Liberal Search Light as They Had to S8quelch the Charges Against Mr.Haggart.SPECIAL TO ThE HERALD, Orrawa.April 21,\u2014There is mush disturbance and anxiety in Ministeria circies over the disposition of the charges preferred against Sir Adolphe Caron.The discuzsion upon Mr.Edgar's motion cannot be resumed until Monday, and possibly not until Wednesday, and in the meantime the ministers do no! know whether to grant an inquiry or refuse it.Sir John Thomrson\u2019s plan was to vote dwn the r:so!u ion onl the day it was moved antd hen laugh at those who charged him with violating his promises trus\u2018ing to a short public memory to have the who'e business buried and forgotten in a short time.Bat he ran foul of rules of the House and the debate was adjourned.Then tbe trouble began.The foilowers of the Government from Octario do not like the Postmaster General and would like to see bim ousted from the Minist'y.hey are not wilung to incur the odium of burkirg an inquiry for .he sake of shielding him and the Langevin men see no reason why Sir Adolphe should Le treate] in a way different from Sir Bec'or, Public feeling has b-en worked up over the matter to a con:iderable ex- t-neu, and the Government organs were instructed t> announce that after voting down Mr, Edgar's motion, the ministers would themselves ask for an iuveetiga- tion.But another hitch has occurred.Sir Adolphe does not want any inves:i- gativn.He says the House of Commons refused to investigate the charges preferred by Mr.Lister against Mr.Haggart last session, and wants to know why thiere should be one rule for him and another for the Minister of railways.What a Conservative Contractor Says.Speaking of the situation to-day a well known conservative contrac'or said: Sir Adolphe has lots of nerve.He will not lie down and allow otuers to climb out of trouble over his body and Dis reputation.1t is not S r Hector the kickers have to deal with now.Sir Adolphe will dia game and he will not allow pimself to be sacrificed to save colleagues or party.The money he got from the Railway companies was spe:t for the beuefit of the party not for his own benefit.All the men now in power are enjoying the fruits of his expenditures and they will only show ingratitude if they go back on him now.Mr H ggart does not want any inquiry in the Caron cate, because if Mr.Edgar's request for a committee of inquiry is granted, the House cannut very d \u20ac ntly refuse Mr.Lister a committee it he renews the charges he made last session in r-ference to the section B affair.If the Government makes one rule for Sir Adolphe and another for Mr.Haggart\u2014if it shields one and allows the otier to be exposed\u2014the Que ec men will say that the purists in the Conservative pariy ara only after Frenchmen\u2019s scalps, And that would bs awkward.Hence Mr, Haggart thinks the Edgar charges should ba ignored, He does not want the \u201cSec'ion B\u201d matter investigated, and there are other members of the House who now carry their heads very tigh who would have to make troublesome explanations if it were shown on whose advice election contributions wera charged as expendi ure for \u201cgiant powder\u201d by tbe \u2018\u2018Section B\u201d contractors.Who was it that advised the \u201cSection B partners to draw money from the firm individually and hand it over to the campaign fund treasurer so that the amount of the irms contributi n would not be recorded ia the account bo ks.Yov would be surprised if I tld you.À large portion cf the \u201cSec ion B\u201d money was used in the conspiracy to defeat the Mowat Government in 1883 aod 1884.\u201d NOTES OF THE SESSION, Last cholce for the Bisley team,\u2014Moatreal and Ottawa Railway.Ottawa, April 21.\u2014Mr.J.N, Gren- shiglds, Q.C, is 'n town on busivess to

CG.P, R.Hotel Stopped by a Ginger Ale Man\u2019s Heirs, Quesec, April 21.\u2014A most ridiculous difficulty has momentar:lv s\u2018oppad the work of construction of the new C, P.R.ho:el on Dufferin Terrace.Some few years ago a party named Potvin obtained from Mr.Langelier, then mayor of the city, permission to erect a temp rance hotel for the refreshment of promenaders on the terrsce He accordingly set to work and succeeded in building probably the ugliest kiosk which was ever er.cted in America.This ill-fated buildiug was from the beginning a bone of contention.It was at first located betwcen two russian guns below the Wolfe Montcalm Otelisk.Sir A.P, Caron then Mire ister of war forthwith sw ped down urs on Potvin declaring that he was on military ground, and must vamoose.The corporati n got frig\u2019 tered, and transferred at corsiderable cost Potvin ard his kiosk to the present site, granting at the same time a lengthy contract for the sale of soda water and ginger ale.As ill luck weuld have it the spot chosen happens to be precisely the place selected by the C.P.R.for the construction of their new hotel, but like the famous squatter on Logan's farm, Potvin, or rather his heirs, for the unfortunate man died in the interval, refuse to be sat upon.They even refuse $1000 offered by the Corporation to \u2018get out.This ridiculous hitch cannot possibly be serious; meanwhile, how- aver, work is suspansed.The C.P.R, has ecrved a formal protest on the Gove ernment, and the Government hss in turn pro.ested the Corporation.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 OUT OF SEASON \u201cROORBACKS.\u201d The Lie Given to More Sensational Nova Scotia Boodliug Stories, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, HALIFAX, April 21.\u2014Bome very sensational stories have been telegraphed to Tory papers respectiug alleged \u201crevelations\u201d made in connection with the Victoria Co.road monies.It was said that Benjamin Roper\u2019s name was attached to documents showing that he had expended the sum of $629, whereas he had only expended $93.25, that Roderick Campbell swore that he spent only $34 whereas, he purported to show an expenditure of $118; that Francis Me- Kennon swore to an expenditure of $30, whereas the return showed an expenditure of $129, The evidence given showed that in each of these returns were included the returns of four or five sub-foremen ag well as the forrman named in the road scale.The superviser grouped the returns in that way for conveniance sake, but only attached the declaration of the foreman.It was an irregular and improper method of making up the returng and calculated to prova misleading, but there was not a cent of money misapprpriated.The expenditure was made bona fide, the work wag done and the men paid.Wi h regard to the retarn of R.E.Burke who swore thut he had not expended any money or signed any declaration purporting to show an expenditure of $140, it may be stated that while the cass is something mysterious, your correspondent is ine formed that the work was done in Burke's case and with his knowledge.The Government, however, have decided to further investigate thig and other cases, and will take steps to p oce:ute and punish any man wbo may ve showa to have acted 12 a frau lu ent manner.The iuvestigation closed tonight, so far as the taking of evidence is concerned.There has b:en no evidence adduced connecting the members for Cape Breton and Victoria Couaties in any way with any improper or fradalent transaction.>.Charged With Attempted Murder, Peter

Khedive.He saya that the ruler of Egypt showed that he obtained a wonderful grasp of state questions for such a short time as he had been reigning.The Khedive informed the correspondent that the cabinet possessed his complete confidence, and that tha rumors to the effect th.t ths members intended to resign were quite unfounded.Since the dispute which had arisen in regard to the firman of investiture he had ré ceived his first autograph letter from the Sultan.The Sultan addressed him in the most cordial terms and his communication was to the eftect that while desiring that the coolness existing between the Kbedive and Ghazi Mukhtar Pasha, the High Commissioner of the Sublime Porta, should cease.he had forbidden the latter to interfera in the internal Affairs of Egypt.The Trouble in

st comolets one, ct Boulanger.In the work the author, Gen.Yung, hes described as an eye-witness every incident in the bray\u2019 General's life from the period of his extraordinary popularity as Minister of War to his downfall.Th:s boos is said to be most eulogistic.Mr, James Anthony Froude, who suc- eeds the lata Mr, Freeman as llegius Professor of Modern Hisiory at Oxford, represents a very different school of his- nrical etudy from that in which his pre- Jec-gsor excelled, for while Mr.Freem: n was laboriously accurate and scientific, Mr.Froude is picturesque and drama ic, not to say theatrical.Mr.Froude will be seventy-four years old next Saturday.His name.it may be interesting to know, is pronounced to rhyme with \u201c d ude.\u201d Algernen Charles Swinburn was fifty- five years old on April5.\u2018The bays are growing yellow on the post\u2019s temples and bis rea has not been very productive of récent times.Tbera is no more chanting of \u2018\u201cLaus Vereris\u201d as there was in the * better bright gray golden mora\u201d of youth, and the \u201cdusk of dolorous years\u201d appears to have cent his muse into a retreat for senectitade.This is to be regretted, for Mr.Swinburne has reacued a period of life at which many poets begin to do their best work.There are few more rugged figures among the Scotch scholars ot the present generation than is Pr ,seesor Blackie, of Exinburgh.Though wighty-three, he has never worn a pair of spectacles, and for thirty years be had no need of medical advice.He attributes the vitality of his old age to his custom of living by an unvarying system, and it is noteworthy that Oliver Wendell Holmes, who is of about the same age and equally well preserved, told an interviewer some t me sgo that his own good health was due to his habit of living strictly by rule, even to the temperature of hig bath.1.is interesting to know that Professor Biackie does not go t: bed until the clock strikes twelve.He rises at half past seven, and always after his mid-day meal be takes an hour's nap.The Pope\u2019s private fur une makes him by far the richest man in Rome, though bis wealth has shrunk very greatly from the 45,000,000 lire left by Pius IN.Much of the shrinkage has been due to unfor- tunata investments in building bonds and in corporation stocks\u2014investments made for the purpose of receiving as higher rate of interest than that paid by the Rothchilds.The Pope gives his direct personal attention to financial tran actions such as soverigus usuaily intrust to a secretary or Chamberlain.He keeps his safs in his own apartments, and always carries the key to it himself.The ve y remarkab!e stitemeat is made that Fanny Crosby, who is known wLerever church music is heard, from her * Pass me not, O gentle Saviour.\u201d is the author of 3000 hymns.The most famous of her religious songs was written twenty-three years ago, and since that time she has continued to produce them with unremit:ing industry Ste lives now In New York, and is sixty-five years old.No other writer ot hymne, not even Dr.Watts, has been so prolific, though Dr.Robert Lowry, of Plaiufield, New Jer:ey, is said to have produced several hundred.It was he who wrote \u201cShall we gather at the River ?\u201d Two interesting little anecdotes of two of the most famous of British authors come almost coincidently from across tbe water.Professor Blackie relates that one Sunday evening when he was calling on tue Carlyles, and the Sage of Chelsea talked on unremittingly, without aljow- ing Mrs Carlyle a word, he went over to the philosopher, shook him bv the shoulders, and shouted, \u201c Let your wife speak, you mons'er!\u201d The viher re- mivi-cence, told ty Mrs.Hardy, tbe rovelist\u2019s wife, of Bit Walter Scott, is that on one occagion when Sir Walter informed his wite that he was to receive a large sum for a certain book, Lady Scott replied, \u201cAh! then I cau buy a new carpet.John Murray 1V.has for several years

talk of half an h: ur, by a vote 179 to 43, ig describe by a Democratic member who voted for it as \u201ctLe toughest piece of legislation that ever passed the House\u201d It prohibits absolutely ihe enirance of any China.man into the country, and practically, without discussion, without popular demand, without any sign of general oub- lic knowledge of such a purpose, erbitra- rily abroge es treaties, and thereby ir- vites China to expel summarily and at an evormcus sacrifice to their interests the lsrge American colony in China.Under the circumstances it must te regarded as an ect of bad faith upon the part of the House, and, could the bill become a law, upon tke part of the country.it is impossible, however, that the Senate should coneur in such legislation or that the President should #p- prove the bill, which would even forbid the return ta this country of Chinese resideats whn had left it for any purpose, however large and valuable the:r pecuniary and other interests here might be.Although the Democratic party is responsible for legislation in the House, yet of the 43 negative votes upon the passage of the bill more than half were Deme- crats.\u2014_\u2014 A Cigar

For, as the dews of evening fall, Another fellow may be courting her\u2014 This makes me more homesick than all.\u2014Roy L.McCardell in Puck.\u2014 A Woman\u2019s Opinion of Woman, The Woman\u2019s Tribane:\u2014 Walter Besant recently asked the question: \u201cWhat is woman\u2019s greatest charm?\u2019 Of course the cor undrum must be answered satisfactorily to men.So, in considering it, one mi.st put one\u2019s self in man\u2019s place and try to remember what bas been the chief characteristic of women viewed relative to the men who found them charming.It is not beauty ; many of thoss who bave held men enthralied have been remarkably plain in appearance, Neither is it grace of manner ncr elegance of carriage; for these have also mary times been wanting in those whom men have found irresistible.Nor is it the tender love of the mother, for this has in untold cases failed to win a word of appreciation or tenderness or even respect from men who have shamefully maltreated aud deserted the mothers of their children, Nor indeed is 1t the unflagging devotion of the wife, for this aiso has ofitimes been spurned.In those who have ruled the hearts of men or many of the numerous qualities which gn te make up the generally charming woman ray be lacking, but the one of indispensable quality neoes- sary ty make a man concede that she possesses the \u201cgreatest charm\u201d is that of eympathy with him.It therefore is a Yarying quality according to the standard of the beholder.It may be intellectual or epiritual sympathy, or an appreciation of physical powers ; but no man thinks a woman is charming anless he feels that in some measure at least that which be deems best and most admires in himself is felt and appreciated by the woman, trey Children Should Have Several Rooms, Mrs.Gladstone in the Ladies\u2019 Home Journal, The meals shoud be taken where there is no litter of toys;

it would be against nature to dos0.And time goes on, and the secret places of our nature grow more and more numerous and deeper and mora unfathomable.And then all of & sudden there comes into our lives a new element\u2014some one who does not have to be told, who huows without a word, and then gradually every thing that we have kept apart and all for ourselves becomes the property of shat one person, and .n some mysterious way are the more ours from that very fact.There are some divisions that multiply.Nothing that is worth having comes easily, dces it, after ali?That sounds trite, but is is not: it is ag great a truth as any ever writt-n, and we finaliy come to appreciate it all the more for the mistakes we make in its application.Half a dozen times in every life some thing that seems very good falls at our feet or into our bands without a particle cf effort of our own, and as we gather it up rejoicing we think that for once and in one case the old adage is proven false, aud then all of a sudden our acquisition becomes of little or no value, or else it slips away from us, and the effort that we did not have to make at first is necessitated if we desire to keep that which is in our grasp.Our hearts are pioneers, they go out from us impetuously bunting homes for themselves and never resting, try first one abiding place and then another, and turning from all till at last the right home is found, and then our bodies follow.If we remoin silent till there is something to say that will astonish the world we make a great mistake.The most beautiful concert owes no more of its success to the prima donna who receives all the applause and flowera than to the chorus, who thongh almost unnoticed, form the full, rich background and basis for the brilliant work in front.\u2014 \u2014_.Mother and Children.There appears to be a curious tendency on the part of many men to lavish upon the little ones the affection once exclusively the wife\u2019s A division of demor- stratinn would be both natural and gratilying to a womap, but too often she is ignored in this respect entirely.The boys and girls are joyfully greeted by the boms coming father, while the wife is carelessiy nodded at over their sunny heads.A wise observer once said, \u201ctrouble comes with the first baby it it is coming at all.\u201d Different ideas of government are often the entering wedge of dissension.The little one sometimes separates the father and mo her, and at its cradle the busband goes away from the wifs in thought and deed just when she needs him most, While she rocks that cradle she thinks deeply, and in the readjusiment of Ler ideas wifehood is merzed in the stronger force of motherhood.She demanrs more of her busband mentally and morally than ever before, because he is baby's father, and is sometimes disappointed.In the matter of expenses paterfamilias is apt to be more generous in his allowances for the needs of the children than for the less tangible wants of their motber.He admits that clothes can be outgrown, but is sce tical about their going out of fashion.We are to'd that a mother becomes unse fish, For herss!f, yes ; but is she not tempted tv» overlock the claims of cthers in seeking all good thicgs for her children ?I doubt if the mother, burdened with the care of her child\u2019s living and the fear of its dying, cae half enjoy tne beauty p-r se of childhood.The outsider can rejoice in all the loveliness, oftener with more appreciative ey s, because they are not blinded by dread.Heredity, to a conscientious woman, is simply appalling.How can she punish a child frr faults inherited trom herself?Can she be happy as she notes the growth of à dispcsition which should, for the good of the race, end with ber husband\u2019s life ?Can she help being afraid when she looks at the little son, who is a pccket edition of the father-in-law in a drunkard\u2019s grave?It is possible, too, for her to discover that her children, though gazing at her with ber mother\u2019s eyes and speaking to her in the tones of a voice that has made the music of her life, are aliens in th: ught and deed.But, some one says, I know all that; there are years of patient care and toil\u2014 years, perhaps, when the husband and wife go their separate ways, one rearing the children, the other going om alote, absorbed in business interests, forgetful of the woman left behind ; but when the sons and daughters are grown, matters adjust themseives.Not always.The fair girl graduste becomes the faded litt'e mother\u2019s rival, and in the devotion of father and daughter the wife is still left ont.It is generally the rough boy, with that warm, loving heart which makes boys so dear the world over, who dimly divines the situation, and with bearish hugs and mammoth pats cheers and sustaing the Jonely heart.While it lasts it is the sweetest thing, this romance between the mother and her scn;

bases a rather peculiar argument on the publication of Mr.Mackenzie\u2019s confidential letter written by him in 1875, when be was Minister of Public Works.In that letter Mr.Mackenzie said : I would like much to be reli.ved of the Puablic Works department; but I cannot see my way to that at present, It is the great spending department, the possible great jobbing depar:ment, the department that can make or juin the Govern- mert at such a time as this, when $25, 000,000 are at the power of its head to Epend on public works.Friends (?) expect to be benefited by offices they are unfit for, by contracts they are nut entitled to, by advances not earned.Enemies ally themselves with friende, and push the friends to the tront.Some attempt to storm the office.Some dig trenches at a distance and approach in regular siege torm.I feel like the besieged lying on my arms night and day.I have offended at least twenty Parliamentary iriends by my defence of the \u2018citadel.\u2019 A weak minister here would ruin tbe puty 10 a mentih, and tue country very soon.From this The Gazette goes on to dilate on the corruption revealed in Mr.Mackenzie's letter; it regards it as cone clusive testimony of the absence in the Liberal party of the honesty to which it lays claim.This is going far afield for a plea.No one pre ends that human nature is radically different according to whether it is labelled Liberal or Conservative ; there are men in both parties who would be quite willing to loot the public treasury, provided they got the chance, The point in Mr, Mackerzie\u2019s letter wbich the public wi:l see, if The Guzette dies not, is that when tke Liberals were iu power the vultures did not get a chance.The leader of the Liberal party, possessing the confidence of an overwhelming majority of the adberents of that political faith, was the Minister of Public Works, and combined the fanc- tions of the two great spending departments of to-day, Railways and Canals and Public Works, The Government was engaged in building the Canadian Pacific Railway and millions of dollars were annually spent directly by the department.Yet Mr.Mackenzie's admin'stration stood the test of a searchirg investigation by his opponents after they succeeded him; it was flawless, That was how the Liberal party, through i's chief, conducted the public works department.Turn now to the other side of the sheet ard compare Mr.Mackenzie's administration with Sir Hector Lange- vins In the latter\u2019s time the department became what the investigation last session showed it to be: the feacting- ground of harpies.We know of at least a million dollars stolen from the people from under Sir Hector Langevin\u2019s eyes, and yet the enquiry last year was little more than a flash of light.The railway department had serious charges prepared against it last session, into which an investigation was denied, and to-day Sir Aldophe Caron isim- reached of grave offences.These facts should have made the Gazette pause, The Liberals do not pre- {ess to be impeccable, but they do claim that their leaders are honest men.Mr: Mackenzie was the Liberal Minister of public works; his record ig stainless.Sir Hector Langevin was the Conservative Minister of Public Works, and his record is black as night.One man sternly resisted and suppresed the would-be boodlers; the other permitted his department to be turned into a huge engine of fraud and corruption.The Gazette is entitled to all the comfort it can get out Mr.Mackenz.es letter.\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE ATTACKS MEAN NOTHING.Hob.G orge Brown during his lif:\u2014 time was the target for every possible missile of slander.Now, no one denies him a high place among the wor.hies of the Canadian nation.Alexander Mackenzie had his personal honor and bonesiy i.pugned a hundred times during his leadership of the Re- torm party.Yesterday he wes buried amidst tbe sincera sorrow of an undivided populace.Hon Edward Blake was a traitor, a time-server a man of ignoble impulees as long as he was in public life; now ail recognize him for a high-minded patriot.These facts indicate how little attention shou'd be paid to the farions on- tlaughts which are now beirg made on characters of Mr.Laurier, Sir Richard Les Cartwright and tbe other Liberal leaders.Twenty years hence everybody will recognize them for falsehoods; but there are few who will have to wait that long to ascertain their true character.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 SAWING OFF.A practise hasgrown up o late years amongst politicians of compromising breaches of the law commitied by one party against similar offecces committed by the other party.The result is that offences against the laws of the country go unpunished, and there is a general gapping of the foundations of public morality.There should be an end to this iniquitous system o: compromises to ccndone breaches of the law.Pending an election contest, accusations ara freely made against public men of deliberate theft from the public treasury.No sooner is the contest over than the very parties who have cried out most loudly for the punishment of the guilty parties are the first to suggest that the parties whom they so loudly denounced should go scot free bacause resort to prosecution would be considered to be persecution.If the standard of morality of public men is to be improved there should be an end to this.The law should take its course.Be the criminal high or low ; punishment should swiftly follow the offence.Respect for law will only be maintained by its impartial administration.It isthe duty ofthe Government of the day to see that the law is administered impartially and without fear or favor.À firm adherence to this principle will meet with public approval.Fiat Justitia ruat coelum.\u2014\u2014< CARON AND MERCIER.Some of the Congervative comments on the Mercier and Caron enquirles are amusing reading for Liberals.A favorite statement just now is that the Liberal party have been moving heaven and earth to effect what is known as a saw- off, tetween the two cases; that 1s to say, that if the charges against Mercier | were comiortably dropped, no more should be heard about the charges against Caron, There have been offers of compromise, but the Liberals did the rejec:ing not the proposing, The Caron charges affect one who is still one of the chief pillars of conservatism and from their own knowledge of tha morals of the whole party, its snp- porters are anxious to shut off enquiry, as they do not know who may be the next person implicated.They do not seem to, object to be governed by mibisters nnd=r suspicion, and so long as the machine works well, would apparently as lief bave it under the management of a tainted corruptionist as of the squarest man in the Dominion, \u20ac The ideas of ths Liberal party are directly opposite to this, The pcssibility of individual corruption, of people making a cloak of Liberalism to serve their private ends is admi.ted, but immediately on detection the cry of \u2018urn the rascals out\u201d is nowhere raised louder than in the very racks of the party.With euch a contrast in morals and methods there was nowhere any ccmmon standpoint from which a compromise could be arrived at, If wrong has been dcne by any one in our ranks we are perfectly willing that the cffending party should fall under the lash of the law.We do not believe in a general whitewashing day which should restore all tainted politicians outwardly to a state of pristine purity.Sir Adolphe must face the music.The Liberals bave no intention of abandoning their demand for an investigation.The friends cf Sir Adolphe Caron are fully aware of that fact cow.Public feeling against the a:tempt of Sir John Thompson to stifle the enquiry is daily growing stronger, and will force a radical change of program on the part of the administration.Sir Adolphe is on trial, and he can acquit himself only by jrov- ing his innocencz.He may as well 1e- cognize tbis faci at once.1f he has any counter-charges to make, as his friends hint, he had better proceed to make them forthwith, The Herald, for one, wants to see daylight let in on every rascally bit of buginess that has been done \u20acuring the past decade.\u2014>#-# For the sake of common decency and fair play, the press of the province opposed to the late premier, should bear in mind that they sre not prosecuting attorneys in the cases to be tried at Quebec cn April 28th, The well-known rule ot keeping silent on a case while it is sub-judice should not be departed from in this instance.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE FINANCE COMMITTEE meeting this afternoon will take ths first step towards filling the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr.Glackmeyer, the late city clerk.It is rumored round tbe City Hali that the opposition to Mr, Gosselin\u2019s promotion has been withdrawn and that he will secure the unanimous nomination.If this is true we tender our congratulations both to that gentlemen and to the City Council, \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014- THE COUNCIL ARE COMING to our views as to the appointment of a head of the Health Department.The committee will recommend tue appointme:t of a Sanitary Engineer with a salary of two thousand dollars to commence and a sanitary inspector commencing at $1,200 Looking at past complicativLs that have been occasioned by officials not working amicably together, would it not be as well to secure the cLicf first, and let him have some voice in the minor appointment.\u2014_\u2014t\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE BRANTroRD Expcsitor gives these as the achievements by Mr.Mackenzie during bis five yea:s tenure of office: Vote by ballet; eleciion trials by judges: simultaneous voting; property qual- fication of M.P\u2019s abolished; C.P.R begun; Dominion Supreme Coart established: fisheries award; reduction in postage to United States; enlargement of canals; Government estabiished in the N.W.T.; free postal delivers; Manitoba amnesty and N.B.school questions settled; Dominion Military College, It is a noble record.\u2014\u2014e MR.MERCIER\u2019S FROSECUTION, Comments of the :: Provincial Press on the Situation.La Presse: Hon.Mr.Mercier is gum- m ned to appear before Police Magistrate Mr.A.Chauveau, on the 28 inst, charged with having, in complicity with Messis.Charles Langelier and Pacaud.conspired to obtain $60,000 from the Public Treasury.In brivging them to answer to the accusations the Boucherville Government is only doing its plain duty and its action should be approved by horest men of all parties.While we app ove of the action taken by Govern- nent, it, however; by no means follows that we rejoice over the arrest of Mr.Mercier.On the contrary it is with profound ecrrow that we are cumpelied to chronicle the appesrsnce of an ex- Premier of Quebec before a police tribunal.From now to the end of the drama we shall only recognize Mr, Mercier as an accused person, that isto say as a citizen called to - defend his honor and his liberty before a court of Justice, and shall content ourselves with giving our readers an impartial account of the prcceedings from now tlil the time the verdict is given.La Patrie: The news of the arr: st of Mr.Mercier has taken all tbe world by surprise.Mr.Mercier went to Quebec and placed himeelf at the disposal of the authorities.He was there given aseu- rance that he would not be prosecuted during tte present term.He was allowed to return home and then came the arrest at the time when least expected and in a way to cause the utmost scandal and to wound as much as possible the feelings of his family ard friends.This is adding persecution to injury and such c¢nduct on the part of the Government will be justly appreciated by the public We believe that the Government have acted against their judgment, and that, but for the indiscreet promises made on the hustings to jnstify their usurpation and to preserve by any means the usurped pow:r, they would base dropped all further proceedings in the case.It seems strange, as Mr Mercier says, that he should hawe been turned out of office for tbe Baie des Chaleurs affair but should be prosecuted for the Langlais traneactions, La Minerve: During the late electoral cam,a\u2018gn Hon, M.de Boucherville and M.Casgrain both promised that Messrs.Mercier, Pacaud and Langelier should answer before the courts for the liberties they had taken with the Provincial treasury.Thsw.snota vain menace, ss was pretended in certain quart:rs, and yes*e.day the thre gentlemen named were summoned to appear before the police magistrate of Quebec on the 28th inst.The charge is that by a shameful conspiracy the accused have appropriated the sum of $60,000.This is wbat is known as the Langlais scandal.There is no doubt but this is only a small portion of their depredations, but it is probably the most shameful theft during the regime to which the people have just done justice.Le Canadien: \u2018We sincerley regret that the Quebec Cabinet should have resolved to adopt this extreme measure, The trampling of victors upon their van- qu shed enemies is no longer the custom of countries advanced in political civilization.Our Province is much more in need of peace than of spite, of @ncord than of wrath, of harmouy than of violence.Mr.DeBoucherville and bis colleagues are absolute masters of the sita- ation.\u2019 The Star: The Premier's repeated references to his intention of prosecuting all parties implicat:d 1n the spoliatinn of the province were as blunt and certain of comprehension as decency would p>r- mit on the eve of a popular election, If no legal aciion had been taken, the province would have felt that bis pledge had been broken.Le Matin: The Hon.Precurer General has given instructions to the Crown advocates to take criminal proceedings agairst Mr, Mercier and his accomplices.And it is only the commencemeut of the dance; but before long other boodlers will have to answer to their scandalous traunsactio- 8 before ti.e courts of justice of the country.\u2014_\u2014r\u2014 GLEANINGS FROM THE

Such a straight côld dose as Ottawa got on Wednesday night would drive ccld chills down the spire of a brass monkey.The *Big Four\u201d do not need Ottawa, If they bave to accept them they will do 89; simply because they have already committed themselves thereto, but their desires arein the direction of a four club league.\u2018What is the use of Ottawa?\u201d they argue.Ottawa never drew a full gate yet, either 1n this city, or even at home; and the last city that any lacrosse man would wish to play in is the ambitious one that wishes to place two teams in the field this year.Ottawa is no use from a lacrosse point of view.That is whatlacrosse men say ; and they ought to know.The result is, that Ottawa\u2019s efforts to get ir to the swim were received with a cool indifference infinitely more aggrava'ing tian a direct refusal, and that a schedule for a four -club league was drawn up right under the nose of the unfortunite man who announced himself as the representative of the amalgamated Ottawa teams.\u2018Sic transit glor'a mundi.\u201d This year Ottawa i8 not in it, no matter what standard its representa'ives may travel \u2018under.The balance of power no longer Stands with the Capitals.It lies in the hands of the \u201c Big Four,\u201d aud they will use it for all it is wortn.Bye, Bye! Ottawa ! Ottawa is Disgusted.Orrawa, April 21.\u2014The result of yesterday\u2019s convention in Montreal was a bard blow to the lacrosee-loving people of this city.Everybodv is disgust d with the outcome, especially the supporters of the Ottawas, who all along placed t5o much confidence in Montreal and Toronto.They expected more than a fair show from these teams, and richly deserved what tte majority of the senior representatives did with them.Their own friends are indignant, in fact the illicellug agaiust the executive of that organization is general.Nobody has any pity for the club because it instigated the trouble by resigning irom the four club league.Itisstill main\u2018ained the executive fell into a big trap when they withdrew fr-m last years league, and just how they are going to redeem themselves is causing no end of anxiety among the c:ub\u2019a supporters.All the blame for the exclusion of the Capitals and themselves is being laid at their feet.To-day the Capitals were in great Spirits for the reason that the Oitawas had to bite the dust as well as themselves.That club bas the sympathy cf the public and regret is felt over their expulsion because they have always and on all occasions acted in a manly spirit.Ever since the result of the conference became known the talk has been solely confined to the amalgamation question.It is well-known Lere that if Ottawa is going to have lacrosse the clubs will have to unite, but at present a settlement cf that question seems to be a far way off.It is almost a certainty that neither of the clubs will ever take the initiative in the matter, and here is where the hitch is likely to take place, as well informed members of the Capitals this afternoon stated to your representative that they would amalgamate on their own terms.hey claim to have à good hold on Ottawa and will do their utmost to keep them down in order to get even with them for their resignation act.Tha same 1In\u2018ormaut said the Capitals would under no consideratinn give up their name, no matter what the < nsequences may be te.The public are greatly agitated and it will be no surprise if an indignation meeting is called early next week.The people want lacrosse and they are going to do their utmost to have both clubs disband immediately and organize anew.This is apparently the only way out of the difficulty and it is pot improbable that it will be acted upon.A prominent lacrosse man who is acquainted with the inner affairs of both clubs said to-night that an amalgamation conld be affected if the matter was left to arbitrators.This latter suggestion found favor with many and in the end both excutives may leave the situation entirely in the banda or desinteres-ed parties.As yet there is uo signs of either clubs weakening, but everybody is clamoring for an amalgamation at once.BICYCLING, The Moatreal Club Annual Meeting last Night, Decidedly the largest gathering of the M.B.C.that has met for along time attended the annual meeting last night in the M.À.A, A.rooms, between 40 and 50 prominent wheelmen in connection with the club being present.Among others were Messrs E O Rasicoe, JD Miller, 8 Baylis, W McCaw, G S Low, W G Robertson, A Harries, Louis Rubenstein, A T Lane, Gordon Kingen and W 8 Weldon.In presenting the 14th annual report, Mr.A.Harries said : The season had been the most successful, and the individual mileage was the highest since the formation of the club, This may be accounted for from the fact that the captain had offered a gold medal for the best individual mileage for the year.This medal was won by A, A.Bimpeon, with a total mileage of 1,054, which is 314 miles ahead of the best individual attendance.Ninety one rides were held, and 53 members attended one or more.Messrs.W.Mc- Caw, H.R.Loranger, M.Rubenstein, L.Rubenstein, A.A.Simpson, L.& D.Han- naford, made atour of the Eustasrn toæn- ships vititing 7 towns.the distance covered being 87 miles.At the C.W.A.meet at Hamilton only a few members attended on accrunt of the distance, but G.8.Low took three second prizes at the races.P.J.Berio broke the Canadian record for half mile, by covering the distance in 1.16 2-5.Tho race of 8 miles to decide the rivalry betwaen the ordinaries and safeti»s, composed of eight teams each, resulted in favor of tbe criinary by fourteen points.The Children cry for THE MONTREAL HERALD, FRIDAY,

Peloquin rode to Lachine on New Year's Day.The committee would urge on the members the necessity of individually working for the good of the club, both by their attendance at rides and meetings and obtaining new members, as there are from 200 to 300 wheels men in Montreal who do not belong to any club, end who would no donbt join us if they were approached on the subject.This was followed by Mr.W.8.Weldon\u2019s report of the club\u2019s financ\u2018s; which showed an expenditurs of $520.24 aganst an income of $532.35, leaving & balance on the right side of $12 11.The following were the

door step and \u201cbugle.\u201d Two names were balloted fur and Mr.Darling was elected.Mr.Lane, the president, desired to call the attention of wbeelmen present to the accident which was reported in the day\u2019s papers, in which a little girl had been ipjured by a bicyclist.He boped all members of the club would be especially eareful that they would keep their own side of the road and be cautious in turniog corners.Mr.Millar added that if cyclists were nst more careful there would be an attempt to legislate them off the roads.This could not be done, but it was well to avoid ail unnecessary friction with the public, The meeting then adjourned.BASEBALL.Raia Interferes With Several of Yesterday's Games, NATIONAL LEAGUE.At Brook!yn\u2014Rain.At Pittsburg\u2014Rain.At New

meeting of the Britannia Football Club was h: Id 1ast night in the St.Lawrence Yacht Clubs\u2019 room, St.Catherine-strset, at which about forty members were present.The treasurer's report showed a balance of $34.48, despite the faet that the club had been under unusual expense in the formation of a hockey club.Mr.Murphy, the secretary, pressnted the following report : GENTLEMEN : In presenting the 17th annual report for the season of 1891-2, your secretary regrets being unable to record a larce number of victories, but would recall with pleasure the heartiness cfthe members in attending practices, and the increasing loyalty to the old club which has bern characterised of its supporters in its defeats as well as successes.One of the brigh'est features of the season was the addition to the clubs membership of 36 names, during the football season, The foilowing is a record of matches p ayed : FIRST TEAM.Oct, 17\u2014Britannia ve.McGill .Won Oct, 24\u2014 vs, Montreal .,.Lost Nov,

intermediate teams won and lost their respective championship, The ser ior victory of Oct.17th was p-1ti-u- larly creditable to the ctab, as the former champions had already defeated two teams and were in good condition.The spirit of determination which won this match seems to have forsaken the team on the following Saturday in a remarkable and anaccountable manner and the result was the biggest defeat on record.Ir will a's0 be observed that although favored with an exceptionally fine season, a very small number of matches were played.The challenge system was responsible for this very unsatisfactory condition of affairs, and it is therefore a mater for congratulation that your representatives succeeded in having a motion passed at a meeting ot the Quebec Rugby Union to the effect that the challenze system be a ols ed, and some form of tie syst-m be adopted this wiil cot only ensure a large number of matches, but will also gettls dates definitely.Ata special general mie: ting held 1n March 1891, it was decided to form a8 hockey club and secure a permanent club room.These plans were successfully adopted, and our present bright and convenient ¢'ub room was secured, hut it has not been used to as great an extent by the members as was desired, The bockey movement has proved a most desirable step.The practices have been largely attended, and the club membership largely increased.B this means 2S new members were ad- m tteito full member.hip, making 56 in all, besides which, 24 members were admitted to hockey privileges only.Your secretary expresses tLe pleasure he has had in being associated wih such an energetic and harmonious committee, and would express the hope that the new spirit of friendliness will continue to characterize its members and that they may be inspired to make the determit:ed effort which will ensure for Britannia more than one title of champions.ALEXANDER MURPHY, Hon.Sec.The following officers were elected for the coming year : Hon

team to this country early in September.At a meeting of the Germantown Cricket Club some weeks ago it was decided to try to get either an Irish or an English team to play in Philadelphia the latter part of the com- irg season.Mr.D.Newhall has laitel, received news that shows Ireland is taking a lively interest in the matter, and will send over a cricket team that will try hard to wrest the laurels trom the Quaker City lads, The match will be played at Manheim the last week in September, under the auspices of the Germantown Cricket Club.The team that will meet the Irish gentlemen will be sr-lected from the best crickefers in the city, and will be a strictly all-Phila- delphia one.\u2014_\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 LATE COMMERCIAL NEWS.New York Provisions.BY

coal stocks were the decided exception.The rumored engineers\u2019 strike on Reading uemoralized both this stock and Lacka- wanna.Grangers, too, were weak, and as London was again a moderate seller, there were fractional concessions in all arbitrage stocks.Lake Shore seemed to suffer from liquidation, but was unattended with heavy trading.The market 88 a whole was dull and quiet.Messrs.McDougall

via Portland, but still ten shillings under what was predicted a month ago.Fer the May steamers the rate will be 6¢ shillings (uninsured) on the Dominion, Beaver, Donaldson and Hansa lines, and 65 shillings (insured) on the Allan Line.The intention was to charge 70 sliliings, but although the shipments will be heavier than usual in May, the amount of new boats offering is so large that spaca will be plentiful, and hence rates are only ten shiliings over last year\u2019s fizares.The fact that the restric.tiors as to the movement of imported cattle have been removed from Glasgow has brought up the price to 6d for choice breves at that port, and the cattle shipped by the Montreal syndicate, already referred to in The Hcrald, should realize a very fair margin of profit for their owrers.\u2014\u2014#> The Kohr failure.The last scene in the career of Robr & Co., wholesale liquor merchants of tbis city, closed yesterday.Ifthe estate pays three cents in the doilar to ordisary

for shipping cattle from this port is fast approacning and the steamship companies have announced the rates for May as follows : Dominion, Hansa, Donaldson and Beaver lines, 60s uvineured, and on the Allan line, 658 iu- sured.Although this is 10s higher than the openiog last year, it is not considered much out uf the way.\u2018The prcsrects for a large business being done is excellent and May is exprcted 10 be a heavy month.The situation on the oth_r sice has grown mure favorabla to the recep tion of Canadian cattle, the restrictions having just been removed from Glasgow.Other places naving previously done this, it i8 more than likely that by the time the first shipments from here arrive out that all restrictions will be taken off.The steamship lines report that May space i8 largely booked and a week or so will see things pretty lively on the wharves.lt isto be hoped that the early shipments will reach the Old Country at Children Cry for the right time and give confidence to

in con- Nection with the direct taxation is all a myth.The tear and dread of pol ticians to allude to this subject confirms the view entertained by many, that the farmer generally does not kuow that he is taxed i.e.the tory 8ys:em of levying tax op every article he boys, makes it possible for the Suspecting to fancy he is not taxed at all, Journalists are equally guilty with politicians In this matter.They think it would be imposing upon the iutelligence of the people to tell them what they thiok every one knows, but it is evident that the struggling mass of farmers, who have but limited time to Investizate, do not know, or they would Dever cast their votes as they do.Mr.Foster, our Finance Minister, puts it in a way calculated to mystity and deceive.In addressing a political meeting in Ontario, he said the Dominion Government were collecting from 15 to 18 million dollars annually for duties on imports.The hon.gentleman exultantly asks: \u201cHow do the Liberals propose to raise that large amount with tree trade?\u2019 as though he was actoally wrenching that amount from Yankee pockets: I wou!d be disposed tu answer the question by ask- lag another.WHO PAYS THAT AMOUNT?Canadians every dollar, and only a part of it ever reaches the government treasury, the customs collector gets the lion\u2019s share.Mr.Foster was a first class advocates of temperance principles, until he was unfortunately made Finances minister, then his glorious vistors of prohibition and a temporary milleniam passed away as quickly as the morning dew.About savea million dollars is co.lected iu varluus ways from the liguor trafic, and I think I hear him arking the tem- kerance people, how they propcse to wake up that loss?He forgets to tells US that whilet we get seven millions as tue price for the liberation of the evil Spirits, it actu :lly costs twice that amount to catch them again.It is just possible that when the Hon.gentleman, steps down from his exalted Position, to again mingle with the creatures of this world, that he may be possessed of fellow feelings line other people, and return to his first love again.Tory politicians would have the people believe that direct taxation would be an awful calamity, their imagination is exceedingly fertile.They portray in the most vivid manner, the revenue collec'or driving off the last cow ur pig, and the half-starved family looking for the last time with tears in their eyes on dear old Bossy, that has kept starvation from their door so long, What nonsense.The present syst:m of taxation bears heaviest on the p or man, as it is levied on what we buy, and the man with a large familv is generally the poor map, aud actually consumes more than his wealthy peighbour, This tax does not rush the bask siock.It does not reach the mortgagee.It does not! touh the rich merchant.It dues not touch the rich manufactrrer.It does not interfere with the professional man, or trouble the money lender.All thos+ are only taxed on what they actually consume, the same as the; poor man, the system tends to make THE POOR, POORER, AND THZ RICH, RICHER, Never, until we res rt to direst taxation, will the people r alize that it is thay who have to find the 413 million dollars that Mr, Fcs:er proposes to take this year.It amounts to $41.50 for each family.A great many people act as though they imagined that the Govera- ment were possessed of some \u201cAladdin\u2019s lamp\u201d whereby they araenabled to create any amount of genuine bard cash, and the more they can manage to screw out the bettar.If we collect from 15 to 18 million dollars revenue annually on im-~ ports, what can the amount be that we pay to our Canadian manufacturers that produce no revenue, only what goes to corrupt the electorate, for we manuiac.ure most of the articles for consumption.To illustrate, cotton cloth is worth six cents per yard in the States, bu: as there is nearly three cents duty per yard, it 18 nine cents here, which we pay retail.If the article was import d the Government would get the three cents, but it is one of taose articles that are so heavily prot c:ed that we do not import it, but we pay the three cents all t::e same, as a bonus to the manufacturer.Would it not be as well to let one manufactarer go us to drive out hundreds of farmers.We export about forty-eight million of dollars worth to the States annually.On this amount we pay about fifteen million dollars duty that finds it way into the U.8.A.Treasury.WE PAY THE DUTIES BCTH WAYJ.Here is a chance for criticism.Our journalists don\u2019t talk in that way.Direct taxation is very simple.I have been a municipal secretarv 22 years, and know something about collecting taxes.In my collection roll I have several columns, say :1.Municipal tax ; 2.road ; 3 special road ; 4.school, and sometimes I bave special school tax or railroad tax, or any «ther tix that the Council or Commi:- sion choose to levy.I could have a column for national tax, it would not give me much trouble.All are collected together, but whether I hive few or many taxes to collect, my salary i8 always the same.Xvery dollar levied would go direct to the goverament, and a much more equitable system might be introduced.Sir Jobn A.Macdonsald\u2019s wonderful scheme for preparing the voters\u2019 list at a cost of over four hundred thousand dollars, need not ¢- st one cent.The municipal secretary is the only per- gon competent to make a correct list.He knows the ratepayers and all about their qualification, but the aim of the government is not economy.but to find situations for their supporters.211 revising barristers with tLeir employees were quite an acquisition to their ranks.Every one, cf course, were Tories.Kingsey Falls.W, W.Towxe, 8 THE MONTREAL HERALD, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1892, ALDERMEN KEPT BUSY \u2014 NO LESS THAN \u2018THREE COMMITIEES MEET YESTERDAY, SURE TO HAVE ELECTRIC CARS \u2014 The sub-committee have apparently made up their minds.\u2014Ald.Stearnsemphatic on health matter.No delay in protecting the health of the city, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The sub-committee on electric railways presented thelr amended repart to the full committee yesterday afternoon.The document is a very voluminous one, and deals with the whole 31 sections of the by-law which was passed some time ago to authorize the Montreal Elevated Railroad Company to consiruct and operate an electric railway on Park- avenue and B'eury-street.; The committee seems now determined to have electric railways all over the city and tae report Landed in by Ald Rainville not only deals with the above mentioned railway, but with all the streets on which it is propcsed to bulld electric roads.The members present were quite unanimous in adopting the idea and decided to call for tenders at once.Parties wishing to tender may do so for any portion of the city they wish, naming the street on which they propose to run, each tender to be accompanied by a deposit of $lU00 per mile of railway to be built.Before the meeting clcsea thers were three offers in by three different parties to commence operations at once if they were granted à Charter to do 60 and In each case they would uncertake to have the electric cars ruuping by Sept.1 of this year.These officers were from Messrs, Main- waring, Bickerdike and Bishop respectively.Particulars of the routes of these railways have already been published.In addition to the above the mayor announced that he knew of a company that wanted to lay 100 miles of electric roads in the city and they bad $25,000, 000 at their back, Changes in tl.e By-law, In discussing the by-law some important changes were made : Cars are to be run from 6 a.m, to 12 p.m.instead of 11 p.m.a8 previously proposed.The cars are to run not less than every five minutes, except from 7.30 to 12 p.m,, when they must run not less than every 10 minutes.The limit of the charter is to be fixed at 18 years from Sept.12 1892.All alterations in s r ets where the cars run shall be made by the city surveyor, and then charged to the railway company.This is for the sake of uniformity and to secure the streets being properly macadamized or paved as the city requests.The company will be bound to give transfer tickets all over the city.The fare charged must not exceed five cents for each trip.Purchasers can have six tickets for 25 cents.[a After 12 p.m.charge double fare, The company shall be bound to provide sleighs in winter when the electric cars cannot run.In the courge ot the discussion, ald.Rainville said be thought it wonld be impossible to have electric cars on those streets where the City Passenger Company bad a double track.The mayor: \u201cI beg to differ with you.What are we here for?Is it in the interest of the city passenger railway, We care for no body, but we will have the best system we can get,\u201d After some further discussion the meeting adjourned till 10 o\u2019clock tomorrow morning when further details of the proposed lines will be discussed.Mr.Mainwariog's Proposnl, The following 18 the proposal 1anded in by Mr.Mainwaring: To His Worship the Mayor, and Aldermen of the City of Montreal.GENTLEMEN,\u2014AS the time required to construct an electric road before the next exhibition is limited, I hereby make you the fol- lowlpg propositions: 1, Iwill build an electric surface road.overhead trolly system to be used with iron poles, on Bleury-street and Park-avenue, from Craig-street to Mount Royal-avenue, and bave it in operation before the 1st of September next.The whole to be to the sauis- faction of the cit.engineer.2.I wiil agree to do this, and take the Road upon precisely the same terms and conditions as may be arranged hereafter with the Montreal Street Railway Company, or any other Company who mey a.quire the right to run electric cars in the city of Mont- reai.8.Iwill build electric railway lines upon any other streets now proposed by you, if I am notified to do so before the first day of April, 1898.4.In the event of no arrangement being arrived at within two years with any other Company, I will consent to have the amount payable by me determined by arbitrators, The city to appoint one arbitrator, I one, and the third to be appointed by these two arbitrators.5.I will agree to a system of transfers with any other lines; monthly statements to be made with thos.Companies.The above offer is not an unreasonable one, s it is the only way of ensuring the building of the Road in time for this years\u2019 Exhibi- the company may ¢ on.The city will have the advantage of seeing à road in operation next winter, which will enable them to see how successful it is before they bind themselves to have the system all over the city, and they will be able to impose more careful conditions 10 proteet the interests of the city, if necessary.It will enable competitors for the franchise for the whole city to judge 0 how much they can afford to pay for the privilege; and the city will get more than they would if tenders are advertised for now.Iam, yours truly, R, A.MAINWARING, Mon al, 21st Apri], 1892, THE HEALTH COMMITTEE, Proposal to Appointa Sanitary Engineer and sanitarv inspector, The Health Committee met at four o'clock yesterday afternoon Ald.Germain in the chair.There were also present Ald.Stearne, Beausoleil, 1ansey, Gauthier, Cresse, Lamarche, Brunet, Kennedy, Nolan and Cunningham.The Mayor was also present for a short ime, The chairman read a tender from Messrs, Lyman Knox & Co.offering to supply chloride of lie to tLe health department at 2§ cents per pound.It was agreed to give them the contract the amount of which is about $300.The ease of Lessard, the guardian at St.Helen's Island baths wes again before the committee and it was decided to retain him in Lis present position as no blame could be attached to him for the drowning of the boy last year at the baths, Ald.Tansey said that he had heard several complaints about Lessard letting out boats on hire to parties who visited the Island and that be spent more time in attending to tbis than to the baths.It was arranged that Lessard should have one bout for the purpose of looking after the bathers and it was decided to appoint a sub-committee to enquire into the abuees complained ot at St.Helen's Isiand baths.The scavenging question was then taken up and the committee decided at once to call for tenders to be in by Thursday next, for the scavenging of the c-ty for eight montbs from May 1 next; for the removal of night soil and for the collection of dead animals for one year from May 1 next.Each tender to be acccm- panied with a deposit of $1000 as & guarantee for the due fulfillment of the contract.Ald.Stearns wanted to know what had become of the $5000 deposited by the present contractor who it had been stated had not carried cut his contrect, \u201cWhy,\u201d said he \u201cwas it not confie- cated ?\u201d Ald.Beausoleil stated that the, contractor had signed his contract in due form.Ald.Stearns : \u201cAnd was that all tbat he put up tbe $5000 for?My idea is that the money was deposited for the carrying out «f the contract snd this has not beeu done,\u201d Aid.Cresse : \u201cAll the cit; contracte are bad y carri-d out.\u201d After some furtber discussion ths matter dropped as Ald.Cunniugham remarked that the committee had never found fault with the contractor.The question of the vacant Sanitary Inspectorship was then taken up and the petitions from the Medic3-Cnirurgi- cal Society and the Knights of Labour were read, In comment:ng on these the chairman of the committee should take into c -neideration the recommendatiuvns made by tbe medical fraternity and endeavor to sacure the services of a thoroughly competent man to fill the cst.P Ald.Stearns said the committee had now a chance to make ths position worthy of the city of Montreal, and he was greatly in favor of having two thoroughly competent officers in the Health Department.The rapid growth of the city demanded it, and he would propose having a first-class sanliary engineer in addition toa sanitary inspector.He moved that the commitiee report to council for a special appropria- ticn for this, The motion was strongly supported by Ald, Beausoleil, who said now was the opportunity to reorganize the department, and he was quite in favor of appointing two first-class men.Ald, Gauthier also tavored the idea, He said there many reasons why he would support the motion, one of the chief being that the department were badly in veed of a sanitary engineer, and this position wonld be still more essential when the city built their inc.nerators.The salaries proposed were: Euginelr, $2000 a year to commence with and advancing by $100 a year to $3000; inepector, $1200 a vear, advancing by $50 annually to $1500.The motion was put to a vote and carried by 3 to 2.Ald.Beausoleil proposed that application be made to the Local Legis:ature for authority to purchase land outside the city on which to build three or more incinerators.Ald.Gauthier moved in amendment the following sites for the thres :\u2014 De- lorimier Avenue, Papineau Avenue and Mary Ann Street.Ald.Kennedy : \u201cI would like to know if Ald, Gauthier is sincere in this motion,\u201d Ald, Gauthier: \u201cAre you not in the habit of making motions when you are not sincere?Answer me that.\u201d Ald.Gauthier: \u201cWe are losing too much time, ard 1 propose we adopt the gites 1 have meniioned.\u201d Ald.Be.usoleil: \u201c You will never get them within the city.They must be like the abattoirs outside the city limits.If you dou\u2019t apply fur property outside the city, we shall be in the same position next year as we are now.\u201d Ald.Stearus; \u201cI will vote for this, we have been so long and done nothin2, let us decide upon something definite now.The application to Quebec will be made at an early date.The Fire Commilitee.At the meeting of the Fire Committee yesterday nothing of much importance touk place, excepting the appointment of John Naud, jr., as the captain for the new station, and that of Theophille Fauche to fill the vacancy thus made at Station No.15.Eighteen dollars was allowed for damage done a milk wagon, that came into collision with a reel.Two ropresentat ves of Insurance companies were present to ask the permission of the committee for a poor widow to occupy and lease a house owned by her, which was not built in accordance with the rules of the Building I: spector, who took ac.ion forbidding the use of the house, The petition was laid on the table, and no doubt will be granted.Another petition, but a written one this time, comprising the rames of nearly all the residents around the locaiity, was placed before these gentlemen asking that the erection of the steam engine for Bastien and Vali- quette at the corner of Guy and Albert streets be notallowed on the grounds that the smoke would be offensive; but after a letter had been read from tke inspecter showing there was no grounds for complaint, tbe petition was set as:de, and Bastien and Valiqueite can have their s:eam engine.The question as to whether the building of houses on those streets which are being repaired should be uniform was nex: brought up, or whether builders on the side that was not knocked down were allowed to build as they pleased, according to the old law, and to set le the matter a council was appointed to cee whether all builders could not be made {0 accord with the new law, viz, the building erected shall be three stories in heighth and of stone or iron.There was quite a dispute over the account of Tr.ffle Bastien for repairs done to No, 14 Station.It seems tbat the contract was for §3500 and an aadi- tional $928.60 making a total of $4428.79 of which $2800 was paid leaving a balance of $1628.60, but that the bill made ont by Mr.Bastien calls for $1666,79 as balance due and claims the $38.19 difference between his account and that of Mr.Brown, the inspector, for putting in some beams.It was finally settled by placing both Mr.Brown\u2019s account for commission, and Mr.Bastien\u2019s accourt together, to be sent to the Finance Committee for payment.Ald.Perreault moved a vote of thanks and a cheque of $50 to the firemen of tbe Canadian Rubber Works for services rendered during the Bonsecours market fre.This motion was unanimously carried, Michael Hubbard was granted a paid- up policy in the Fireman's Benevolent Icsuracce Co., on account of having resigned from the service.A resolution was passed asking that the new fire bell for Notre Dame Church be made by the original manufacturers in Londen, es À Bad Scaftuld Accident, An accident that m£y yet be attended with fatai result, occurred at 8 o\u2019ciock Y-S8terday moruing on St.Lawrence near Guilbault-streets.A Mr.Therrien, a cigar dealer was taking down a scaflold in front of his

a special thanksgiving service $63.83 bad been realized.There had been 180 admissions to the association, an increase of 5I over last year.The work of Miss Forrester, the bible woman, was spoken of, and several instances were cited where much needed aessist- ance had been given.The Helping Hand sewing school, composed of little girls, met every Saturday in the Inspector Street Sunday school.The various religious services had been well attended, and had proved very successful during the year.Speaking of the present building, the report said that although larg: enough when first occupied for the needs of the association, it was now far too small.A site had been procured on which it was hoped they would soon be able to erect a building suitable for the increased work of the association.The Treasarer\u2019s report ou behalf of the Building fund showed that $1,000 were urgently needed to liquidate pressing demands.In the general fund the years receipe bad been $3,671.44.The expenditure $3,500.31, leaving a balance on hand of $171.13.The next report was that of the Working Girls Home, It showed that from April to December 1891 there had been 200 transient, 2 to 4 permanent and 35

of the association as a whole, referring to the emplsyment agency and educational clagses in particular.In the employment bureau 86 applications had been received, of whom 35 had been supplied with situations.The library had been much appreciated by the members, and although it was a very fair one, a further gift of books would be most acceptable.The educational classes had never been mora successful, the physical calture de- partmment under Miss Barnjum being very well attended.A touchiog reference was made to the death of 010 of the teachers, Madame Amos, the teacher of the French and German classes.Miss Williams had le t to take up mission work in West Central Africa, aud the best wishes of the association went with her.Thanks were rendered to all friends wbo had reudered aid to the association during the year.sir Wm.Dawson was the next speaker and was briefly introduced by the chairman, Rev.Dr.Barbour.He delivered a pleasing and appropriate address, ccn- gratulating the asacciation of tue work it had done in the past.He spoke of Christian un.ty saying it was when Christian people of any denomination joined in doing some good work.Sir William concluded by congratulating the members on the excellence ot the reports that had been read, and expressing his good wishes for its future prosperity.The day nursery report said that it bad just closed the fourth year of its existence.Sixty-two parents in the last twelve months had availed themselves of the help given by the nursery, and ninety-six children had been admitted.The total number cared for had been 7794.The nursery had been closed four weeks during December on account of messles.The staff at present consists of matron, head nurse, daily teacher, assistant curse and servant.The kitchen garden and

is in English.And itis these same people that do rot wish to hear a word of annexation to the United States, because they pretend that such annexation would cause tLe disappearance of the official use of our French language.RIVER AND HARBOR.Items Gathered Around the Wharves\u2014A Race for Montreal.The lat of the three lightships on Lake St.Peter was placed in position yesterday.A large gang of men

city is correct, the riflemen generally must be greatly disappointed, for I am aware that they had expected from bis reputation thas he would at least appreciate their work às à practical suldier unprejudiced by a flash of uniform or mere display of drill.The uniform which this branch of the service is ordered to wear, is certainly not intended to be attractive; it was probably intended to be useful, though it is doubted whether it possesses even that quality.While they are debarred from euch dazzling show parades as trooping of colors, bayonet exercise, elc., as not adapted to their duties, and have no opportunities to show their actual work except in actual service at which times they have always conducted themselves in & manner to insure the high- sk com=- mendation.Ex-Rr
