Quebec, Dec.7, 3 p.m.\u2014Publie business is practically suspended at the Parliament buildings.Mr.DeBoucherville is awaiting the arrival of Mr, Chapleau, to tender his resignation.The Castor element is making the most strenuous efforts to induce him to remain at the head of the Government, but the Premier can see nothing but breakers ahead and is rather pleased than otherwise at the pretext of Mr.Chapleau's appointment to retire in a huff.Nobody doubts here that Mr.Taillon will be offered the premiership, but it is not thought that he will accept.The next on the list seems to be Mr.Fiyun, who may accept, but who may not Le able to torm an administration, in which case the name of Mr.Nantel is mentioned.Mr.Nentel is one of Mr.Clapleau's intimate friends and confidents, and could dispose of all the influences at the command of the Lieutenant-Guvernor.His success is nevertheless considered uncertain, unless he were to throw the Castors overboard and come before the House with new blood and a new program.This would mean a coalition and success would depend upon the co-operation uf the Liberal element.\u201d Liverals here are reticent as to their staud iu such a case.Your correspondent had an interview to-day with a prominent Liberal M.P.P.To the question: \u201c Would you faver a programme of direct taxation consisting of a slight income and property tax?\u2019 he answered: \u2018\u201c It is hard to give youa direct reply.Personally, I favor direct taxation in the abstract, and I believe that our party is almost unauimous upon that point, but we do not favor the imposing of additional burdens upon the pcople.We consider that a change in the system of taxation is necessary and must come, but 1 believe that strict economy wonld be sufficient to ward off the most serious difficulties.We favor the abolition of the Leuislative Council, which costs $100,000 a year, the sale of Spencer- wood, which costs at least 540,000 a year, the sale of all Government property lying useless in Montreal and different other parts of the province.Such a policy wonld meet the approval of all business men and secure the stability of the Government adopting it.The present Government, instead of practising economy, has considerably increased the expenses of the public service, considered exorbitant under the Mercier regime.They have imposed taxes which business men refuse to pay, and their position at the next session will be so absurd that they will certainly fall.\u201d A rumor was circulated in*St.Rochs today to the effect that Mr.Marchand would be called npou to form à coalition government.L'Electeur, referring to these rumors, said this evening: \u201c We maintain that there has been a complete change in -public opinton\u2018since the Sth of - March, and that the victors of that day no longer possess the confidence of the majority ,of the people.\u201d DEBOUCHERVILLE BELIEVED TO BE RECONCILED.Midnight\u2014Everything, it appears, has been patched up.Mr.DeBoucherville has allowed himself tobe persuaded by Messrs.Pelletier and Beaubien to remain at the head of the party.Such is the news at present circulated.Mr.DeBoucherville's decision, if correctly stated, is absurd enough after his recent statements, but his\u2019 opponents rejoice in the hope that they will be enabled to attack and overthrow ithe government during the session.A premature crisis would not have borne lasting fruit.Mr.Chapleau has telegraphed to have his apartments in the Parliament buildings prepared for Monday.FROM THE QUEEN CITY.Toronto\u2019s Assistant City Solicitor Resigns to Go Into Private Practice.Toronto, Dec.7.\u2014Robert Mowat, nephew of Attorney-General Mowat, has resigned his position as assistant city solicitor, to take the place of the late G.Bigelow, in the firm of which deceased was the head.Warring Kennedy, the well-known wholesale dry goods man who was asked to enter the field for the mayoralty against Mayor Fleming, this morning made the following announcement : \u201c\u2018After carefully considering existing claims upon me, I find I am unable to devote the time necessary to the faithful discharge of the duties of \u201cthe high office of mayor of this city, and deeply regret that I cannot comply with your earnestly expressed wishes.\u201d It is suid now that the opposition to Mayor Fleming lies between Ald.Shaw and Leslie and W.D.McPherson.THE NEWS FROM KINGSTON.Death of an Old Grand Trunk Employee\u2014 Grain Shipment Statement.[Special to The Horald] Kingston, Dec.7.\u2014Francis J effries, 72 Years, an employee of the G.1.R.for many Years, first as haggageman and latterly as signalman, died yesterday.The following is a statement showing the quantity of grain received at the port of Kingston from United States port and tran.shipped to Montreal during the season of 1892 : Wheat, 4,125,825 bushels; corn, 2,- 075,728 bushels; rye, 268,665 bushels; total, 6,469,618 bushels.Through tie efforts of J.J.Behan, of this city, first vice-president of the Irish Catholic Benevolent Union for Canada and the United States, St.Ann\u2019s Young Men Society has joined the Union, and is the largest Roman Catholic young men\u2019s organization in Canada.Big Snowstorm in Nebraska.Omaha, Neb., Dec.7.\u2014Snow has been falling here since 1 o'clock last night.Street car trafic has been entirely aban- doncd.The snow is accompanied by a high wind, and there is a prospect of a blizzard, Many trains are late, and some have been abandoned.Business in the Sliver Market Stopped.London, Dec.7.\u2014Under fears of a suspension by the American Government of the Sherman \u201cact and some sudden change in the Indian policy, future business in the silver market here has virtually ceased.The Financial News thinks the United States will return to the Bland act.Montreal Methodist Minister Married.Brockville, Dec.7.\u2014Yesterday morning the Rev.Charles, E, Bland, pastor of the Methodist Church at St Henri, Montreal, Was married to Miss Emily Sherwood of this county.The ceremony was performed by the father and brother of the groom in the Presence of only the close relatives of the family.The bride was given away by her brother-in-iaw, the Rev.Mr.Lett, of Mer- rickville.A MURDERER\u2019S AWFUL CONFESSION.Capt.Smith Tells How He Shot a Boy and Threw Him Into the Sea.San Francisco, Dec.7.\u2014Captain Samuel Smith, the murderer of George Neal, the 16-year-old boy, of Coronida Island on Friday last, has made a full confession of the crime.He says he braincd the boy with a hatchet, afterwards casting him into the sea.The discharge of the rifle he ascribes to an accident, but admits that Neal was not dead when thrown overboard, but cried out for help.In rehearsing bis part of the tragedy, Smith displayed no feeling.He says he meant to destroy Silberry also, but when le got away with Neal he thought he get could along with the otherboy.Theonly reason he assigns for the crime is that the boys had set the small boat adrift.THE CABINET CRITICIZED.PECULIAR UTTERANCES OF THE HALIFAX CONSERVATIVE ORGAN.The Roman Catholics Complimented on Their Intellectual Supremacy in the Cabinet and Other Comments Made.[Special to The Herald} Halifax, N.S., Dec.8.\u2014 The Herald, Conservative organ, which usually is prepared to swallow everything, has an extraordinary critique to-day on the new Government.lt says Thompson is the controlling force and ablest man in the Cabinet, that the Government is good for defensive purposes, and an etlective combination for holding on to office.Ange:s and Wood, it says, are the ablest among the new men.Clarke Wallace is pronounced to be \u2018\u201cnot a very able man,\u201d who is taken into the Cabinet because he is an Orangeman.J.J.Curran is a nice fellow, \u201cbut is not known ns an able lawyer.\u201d Carling is no good; Costigan a weak man, and Caron a source of wealness to the government.All three, it says, should be dropped.Speaking of the Government in general, The Herald says: \u201cThe ministry is a strong ono, we have said, and every large race, religious, commercial and financial interest is represented.The dead weight.of the Con- servatiem of the country is bound to give it stability and strength.1t is weak in that outside, of Sir John Thompson, it has few representatives of a more progressive public spirit of the country and in this respect representation from Ontario shows marked deficiency when compared with representation from the Maritime Provinces.\u201d Speaking of the denominational phase, it says: \u201cIn this Government the Roman Catholic members are men of great ability and strength of mind.Sir John Thompson, Hon.Frank Smith, Hon.A.R.Angers und Hon.J.A.Ouimet are intellectually abler men than any other four men in the ministry.The Roman Catholics of the country can congratulate themselves upon an undoubted intellectual supremacy in the Cabinet.\u201d While taffy is thus given to Thompson, Ouimet, Angers, Smith and Wood nothing is.said «bout the ability and se - es of Bowell.foster, Tupper, Haggart or ° :ter- son.The article has .c.'ed& s nsiion among the machine Tories and 1.er- preted by Liberals as indicative the.ist which many Conservatives feel at th pr- sonnel of 1» av C by the colestinls, Weil, the moment came, The audienas was hushed in awe, and the perjormance bordered on the rites and ceremonies of a most sacred and religious kind.Onc actor samed to be the center of &ttraction.In his tall hat and flowinz, gold-threaded robe he was impressing his auditors in a most vivid manner with his imp.r- sonation ©! the high priest, All the almond-eyes performers were on their hands and kuees, kissing the bass of the pedestal on which rested an immense cross-legged bust of Buddha.The high priest, in a dignified and religious manner, slowly raised his arm in salutation.This was Peake\u2019s chamce, and he shook the thunder sheet for doar lifo and clashed tho cymbals together as though his future professional reputation depended upon it.Then almost followed ariot.Right in the most eolemn part the roli- gious ecene had been broken up by the introduction of the thunder and cymbals, and wild-eyed, pig-tailed China- men drove the American singer into a dressing room, where he hid for nearly half an hour under a confused mass of green dragons, snicker-sneesmfirogs, toads, lizards and raiment of various hues and kinds, familiar only in the great tea- growing districts of Asia and San Francisco.At last, the audience and the actors being assured by the manager that Peekes had escaped, that individual was escorted by the back way to his hotel.Monkeying with the Chinese thunder skeet had almost cost him his life.Buttercup, Poppy, Forget-Me-Not.Buttercup, poppy, forget-me-not\u2014 These three bloomed in a garden spot, And once, all merry with song and play, A little one heard three voices say : \u201cShine or shadow, sumnier or spring\u2014 O thov child with the tangied hair And las thing eves\u2014e three shall bring Each an offering, passing fair!\u201d , The little one did not understand.But they bent and kissed the dimnied hand.Buttercup gamboled all day long, Eharing the little one\u2019s mirth and song; Then, stealing along on misty gleams, Poppy came, bringing the sweetest dreams laying and dresming\u2014that was all, Till oncethe sleeper would not awake; Kissing the little face under the pall, Wet qusht.of the words the third flower spake, .\u2018Aud we found betimês, in a hallowed spot The solace and peace of forget-me-not.Buttercup shareth the joy of day.Glinting with gold the hours of play;

The mystrery of Being and not Being.3 \"Why does Mary exist?Does Mary exist?She had come iu, looking very doubtful, and the reason was that the more she thought it over, the less could she see Why she existed.This came of reading a work entitled Why Do We Exist?\u2014a kind of book that ought not to be published.for it only makes people unhappy.Mary stared at the problem with wide, fixed cyes, until Icompelled her to wink by putting another in front of it, namely.Do You Exist?In her ignorance she thought there was no doubt of this, but I lent ler a Bishop Berkeley, aud since then she has taken to pinching herself on the sly, just to make sure that she is still there.HER SCARF.So far I had not (as will have Leen noticed) by a word or look or sign broken the agreement.which rendered our platonic friendship possible.I had not ever: called her darling, aud this because Ihave reflected a good deal on the sub- Jeet, I could not porsuade.myself that this was one of my ways ot addressing Thomson.And ! wouid have continued the game treatment had it not been for her scarf, which has proved beyond ail bearing.That scarf is entirely responsible for what happened to-day.It is a strip of faded terra-cotta, and she ties it round her mouth bafore xo- wig out inio the fox.Iler face is then sufficiently irritating, but I could endure it by looking another way did she fiot recklessly make farewell remarks through the scarf, which is very thin.Then her mouth\u2014in short, I can\u2019t put up with this, L bad warned her repeatedly.But she was like a mad girl, or parhaps she did not understand my meaning.\u201cDou\u2019t come near we with that thing round your mouth.\u201d I have told her a dozen times.I have refused firmly to tic it for ner.I have put tha table between me and it, and sh asked why?{through the scarf).She was quite mad.And to-day, when 1 was fe Tine rather strange at aay rate!

that more, probably, than any other cause, has supported the manufacturing growth of the United States.\u201d Without stopping to question the right or a Government organ to practise he ocoupation, which has been fommoply asoribed to the Opposition as Îts exclusive privilege, of belittling the efforts made by Government to increase immigration into Canada, we cannot help being bewildered by the account, which the sbove quotation gives, of the causes to which the manufacturing growth of the United States is due.Such a doctrine we had conceived to be rank heresy among protectionists.We had always supposed it to be an essential article of the protectionist\u2019s creed, that by far the most effective method, if not indeed the only effective method, of building up manufactures in any community is to prevent it as completely as possible from trading with the outside world ; but now we are informed that the growth of manufactures in the United States has been due to the increase of its population \u201cmore probably than to any othe, cause.\u201d This would be sound enough doctrine in the economical theories of Liberalism and Free Trade.But it seems like putting the cart before the horse, or, in more learned phrase, confounding effect with cause on the theory of protectionism.For to what must such a doctrine lead ?If manufacturing industries are to be fostered by increasing the population of the country \u2018more than by any ether cause,\u201d then obviously the prime object of all those who wish to foster such industries must be to encourage, by every available means, an increase of population that will fill up the millions of unoccupied acres, and create an increased demand for the products of factories.But the inducement, whichattracts most powerfullyand universally to a country, is the prospect of being able to enjoy, at a minimum cost of labour, the necessaries and comforts and refinements of civilized life , accordingly every measure, which enhances artificially the natural cost of these desirable objects, simply tenda to.obstruct that increase of population which is indispensable to the increase of manufacturing industries ; so that, according to the doctrine of our contemporary, protectionism, instead of encouraging such industries, in reality interferes with the most influential cause by which theycan be promoted.Are we to conclude that even the most redoubtable champions of the National Policy are being drawn into the current of that great revolution in economical ideas which is sweeping protectiemism into they The ghosts of defunct bodies, fly # Our conjecture is confirmed by the concluding words of the article from which we have quoted : \u2018\u201cThe number (of immigrants) who become agricultural pioneers is 50 small compared with those who desire to become citizens or townsmen, that the latter have to look for the opportunity they desire where a greater advance into tho uncultivated new lands creates a greater market for the products of the factory and the citizen.\u201d Apparently our contemporary is beginning at last to see the objections which Liberals have all along been urging against a policy which not only enhances the natural attractions of city life, but artificially aggravates the disadvantages of life in the country by compelling agriculturists to contribute a large proportion of their earnings to support a manufacturing aristocracy.We hope the Government organs will continue to supply their readers with such wholesome economical instruction as the article from which we have quoted.The Liberal press may thus soon be relieved of its cducational work.A Word For Clarke Wallace.In its estimate of the new Cabinet The Herald yesterday endeavored to give credit where credit is due.It therefore cheerfully reproduces to-day The Gazette's carefully worded encomium of Mr.Wallace, the under secretary whose preferment, along with that of Mr.Wood, is designed by Sir John Thompson to solace the Province of Ontario for the loss of Mr, Carling\u2019s portfolio : Mr.Clarke Wallace, who becomes administrator of the Customs department, has had a lengthy experience in mercantile pursuits, and is qualified above perbaps any other member of the Commons for the charge of this important branch of the public service.He isa gentleman of wide personal popularity, attained by courtesy, intelligence, and amiability.Indeed in his native province he is probably better known and numbers more devoted friends than any other man in public life, All of this is quite within the mark.Mr.Wallace's enemies will acouse him of nothing worse than figure juggling on the stump and a steadfast determination to err not on theside of independence of party exigency.He is strong enough by reason of his following in the House to make good this failing, and should avail himself of the present opportunity.The President's Message.It is charitable to attribute to President Harrison's recent and heavy bereavements the peevishness of his message to Congress on Tuesday.His declaration of continued alleginnce to the principle of protection would have been in better taste if he had refrained from his querulous employment of the vulgar argument that free imports mean starving workingmen.The bitterness of his references to Canada may be explained, but not excused, by the fact that his administration has not had great cause to respect the Canadian Government for its good faith or good works.The avowed hostility of the present Canadian Government, should not have prompted his senseless suggestion of war upon the Canadian railroads, for neither he nor any of the tail twisters has ever been able to show how the American Government could injure the Canadian roads, without inflicting a like injury upon the American roads.The president is a beaten man, feels like one, perhaps, and certainly talks like one, He has made more statesmanlike deliverance than this, and upon these he should be judged.The Liberal Convention.\u201cIt would be amusing indeed,\u201d says the Halifax Herald, discussing the proposed Liberal Convention, \u201cto witness the blundering efforts of the Grit leaders to formulate a consistent policy.\u201d It would be more amusing to witness the helpless attempts of the Tory leaders to formulate a policy of any sort without the dictation of their masters of the Red Parlor; and their attempts to carry that policy into effect without the assistance of manufacturers\u2019 blood money, sweated rom the suffering taxpayers, would be a screaming farce.Butthe Liberal leaders do not need to formulate a consistent policy.Just so surely as the present Government is on record for the reduction of trade and the paralysis of the commercial and industrial energies of this country, so surely and consistently are the Liberal leaders on record for the reduction of the duties on British goods, the establishment of closer commercial relations with the United States and the broadest and most general expansion of the trade of the Dominion.The Liberal leaders will not be asked to formulate any policy.The proposed convention will relieve them of that duty.THE ANNOUNCEMENT of the appointment of Douglas W.Cameron, of Toronto, to the position of assistant accountant of the House of Commons will be received with pleasure by all the members of the House and a wide circle of acquaintances.He is a son of the late Chief Justice Sir Matthew Crooks Cameron.For several years he has filled the post of Chief Clerk of Government whips and has performed his duties in such a manner as to render himself not only invaluable to his masters, but popular among the members of the Opposition and all the frequenters of the Commons during the sessions of the House.He is a young man of sterling qualities and well acquainted with all forms of office work, and should make a most efficient officer at his new post.YESTERDAY MORNING the esteemed Gazette condescended to let those of its readers who had not already seen The Herald of the previous day into its jealously guarded secret af-the results of Sir John | entirely ignores the Department of Marne and Fisheries and passes over the hopeful scion of the house of Tupper in contemptuous silence.By way of recompense it announces that Mr.Bowell and Mr.Angers are to have seats in the Upper House and that Mr.Chapleau has been appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec.But perhaps this information was prepared for The Weekly Gazette.SHOULD THE City council entertain the Road committee\u2019s proposal to give half a dozen electric companies the right to plant poles and string wires in the street, that clause in the agreement with the Royal Electric Company, which is supposed to provide for the burial of the wires» will be openly acknowledged to be a farce.Solong as a single electric pole remains above ground there is one pole too many in the air, and no electric company should be given any privilege within the city limits, except under an agreement which calls for the burial of all its wires within specified limits and time.WHAT LEssoNs were to be drawn from Jay Gould's life should have been drawn before that life was at an end.But Jay Gould is dead, and the common sense of the consideration that he is past repentance for what inisdeeds he may have committed should work with the common decency of respect for the dead to the suppression of publio execration of his memory.Way Nor have made the Lieutenant- Governship of Quebec a new federal portfolio and obviated the necessity of Mr.Chapleau\u2019s removal to Spencerwood ?POLITICAL NOTES.Nine Dominion constituencies are now open: Sherbrooke, Terrebonne, Montreal Centre, L'Islet, Vaudreuil, Soulanges, North Hastings, Brockville aud West York.Says The Ottawa Free Press: \u201cMr.Angers descent from the bench to take the lieutenant governorship of Quebec, his partizan conduct while occupying that position, and his new jump from Spencerwood into the Dominion Cabinet, ought to dispel at once and forever the idea that the members of our judiciary are above politics and without partizan bias,\u201d The Progressive party, which is running Phillips Thompson as a candidate in Toronto for the legislature, has drafted this platform of principles: (1) The initiative and referendum; all important measures to.be submitted to popular vote; (2) abolition of the contract system in public works, and payment of union wages on works under public control; (38) abolition of grants for immigration; (4) better supervision of factories; (5) appropriation of the rental value of land for public purposes; (6) public control of public franchises with a view to ultimate nationalization of industry; (7) payment of aldermen, abolition of property qualification, and increased powers for municipalities.STAGE AND PLATFORM, Miss Pelletier\u2019s Concert\u2014Attractions at the Theatres.All the theatres are being fairly well patronized this week.\u2018The Foresters\u201d closes its engagement to-night.A special | matinee will be given at the Queen\u2019s to-day, \u201c\u201c À Struggle for Life\u201d having proved a great success.The usual performances at the Royal are given every day.QUEEN'S THEATRE.Next week Eva Mountford will make her second appearance in this city, in her own version of East Lynne, Miss Mountford appearing in the dual role of Lady Isabel and Madame Vine.She will te supported by the young actor, Mr.Elmer Gaudin, and a capable company.In speaking of Miss Mountford\u2019s performance, an American newspaper says: In addition to her boldness in coming forward as the star in this exacting play, Miss Mountford had also laid claim to consideration as its author, for hers was a practically new version of the novel.She bad not departed from the original plot, but there were improvements throughout the text, and changes in the character, the comedy lines, and the situations.Miss Mountford will find this drama a valuable investment, THE HENRY COMPANY, This famous organization will be seen at the Theatre Royal for one week commencing with the matinee Monday, Dec.12.This company of vaudeville stars will present a double program opening with a.rural comedy entitled \u201cA Rustic Reception,\u201d and closing with J.H.Smith\u2019s musical travesty *\u201cTa- Ra-Ra.\u201d Among the artists will be found Miss Marie Rostelle, Matthews and Bulger, Thos.Lemack, comedian late of Evans and Hoey Parlor Match Co., Will West, singing and character comedian, Sisters Dewitt, musical artists, Melle.Texaskansas, Cook and Clinton, the champion lady rifle shots of the world.\u2019 MRS.BERTRAM'S CONCERT.The Fraser Hall was well filled last evening on the occasion of a musical and dramatic entertainment given by Mrs, Bertram and her friends.The opening selection was a pianoforte solo, operatic selections, performed by Miss Gwendoline Mitchell.This was succeeded by a song by Miss Lucy Bertram, recitation by Miss Libby Vineberg, song by Mr.A.Richard, all of which were very well given.The second part of the program consisted of tne rendering of \u2018The Chimney Corner,\u201d a domestic comedy in two acts by T.H.Craven.This was fairly well presented.The cast was as follows : Solomon Probity (aged 91).Frank T, Brown Peter Probity (aged 60(.Henry E, Codd John Probity (aged 21).Steacie Chas.Chetley (sollicitor).W.A, Tremaine Sifter (a detective).H.Giles Mrs.Peter Probity.Miss Mamie Bertram Grace Emery.Miss Belle Boyd Between the acts piano selections were given by H.Richards, MISS PELLETIER\u2019S CONCERT.The delightful musical entertainment iven in the Association Hall last evening by Miss Helena Pelletier, one of Montreai\u2019s favorite vocalists, and her friends, was not attended as well as the merits of the beneficiary and her friends deserved.Not only did Miss Pelletier maintain her usual reputation, but the whole of her friends present gave their hearers a most artistic and intellectual entertainment Mr.J.H.Dixon\u2019s reading was a great feature and Sig.Vegaras\u2019 efforts were such as to deserve the very warmest words of praise.THE PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.This morning at nine o'clock the sale of seats for the \u2018* Messiah\u201d concert, to take place at the Windsor Hall on the 20th inst., will commence at Nordheimer\u2019s, to the society's subscribers.To-morrow at the same time the sale will commence to the general public.The following soloists have been engaged for this concert : Soprano, Miss Rose Stewart;

how the tytheman kept the ntale sinners awake by tapping.them on their heads with a rabbit's foot, fastened to the end of a long stick, and how he did the like office for the gentler sex by tickling their noses with a rabbit's tail attached to the other end of the aforesaid sticks, and how he was by law authorized to smartly rap the boys who should dare to fall asleep; these and many other interesting features of old New England religious usage were narrated in Mr.Barnes\u2019 pleasantly humorous way.In conclusion he recited the following amusing verses descriptive of the singing in those good old fashioned day: The Old Fashioned Choir, I bave fancied, sometimes, the Bethel-bent beam \u2018That trembled to earth in the patriarch's dream, Was a ladder of Song in the wilderness rest, From the pillow of stone to the blue of the ent, And the angels descending to dwell with us ere, #*Qld Hundred,\u201d and \u201cCorinth,\u201d and \u201cChina \u201d d \u2018\u2018 Mear.\u201d an All the hearts are not dead, not under the sod, That those breaths can blow open to Heaven and God! Ah, liver Street\u201d leads by a bright, golden road\u2014 O, it is not the hymns that in harmony flowed\u2014 But those sweet humored psalms in the old- fashioned choir, To the girls that sang alto\u2014the girls that sang air! \u201cLet us sing in his praise,\u201d the minister sald, All the psalm books at once fluttered open at Sunnod their dotted wings in the words that he Whit he leader leaped into the tune just And poftely picked out the key-note, with a -And the vicious old viol went growling along At the heels of the girls in the rear of the song, I need not a wing\u2014bid no genii come, With a wonderful web from Arabian loom, When Lhe world was in rhythm and life wasits rhyme; Where the streams of the years flowed up noiseless and narrow, That across it there floated the song of a sparrow; For a sprig of green carraway carries me there, To the old village church and the old village choir, When clear of the floor my feet slowly swung, And timed the sweet praise of the song as they sung, Till the glory aslant from the afternoon sun Seemed the rafters of gold in God's temple be- 1 gun! You may smile at the nassals of old Deacon Brown, Who followed by scent till he ran the tune own\u2014 And the dear sister Green, with more goodness than grace, Rose and fell on the tunes as she stood in her lace, And where \u201cCoronation\u201d exultingly flows, Tried to reach the high notes on the tips of her toos ! To the land of the leal they went with their song, Where the choir and the chorus together be- ong, 0, be lifted, ye Gates! Let me hear them a ain\u2014 Blessed song, blessed Sabbath, forever, amen ! The choir then sang a couple more pieces of the old-fashioned melodies in such excellent form that many persons present expressed a desire for a revival of the old- fashioned music in the Sunday services.President Stephens brought the meeting toa close by announcing that the club meets the first and third Wednesday of every month, and was always glad to welcome ail persons interested in its exercises.Probable Opponents to Mr.Curran.Dr.Guerin, Mr.E.Guerin, Mr.B.J.Coghlin and Mayor McShane, are mentioned as probable opponents of Mr.Curran on his re-election rendered necessary by his acceptance of the office of solicitor-gen- eral.Street Inspectors on the War Path.Street Inspector Flynn\u2019s staff of 22 specials were started on their Western round yesterday.The officers have received instructions to enter actions for all street obstructions, snow on roofs or sidewalks, slippery foot paths, ete,, without any preliminary notice.Under these strict regu- lutions householders should govern themselves accordingly.St.Henr!

Maher has defeated quite a number of good fighters, among them being \u2018\u2018Jim\u201d aly, the ex-sparring partner of the champion, \u201cJim\u201d Corbett.Maher attributes his defeat at the hauds of Fitzsimmons to stage fright and his inability to hit the lanky :middle-weight.He says that Goddard\u2019s style of fighting suits him exactly, and that he will be able to hit him without trouble, and eventually knock him out.The fight is attracting attention everywhere.THE RETURNS IN MONTREAL.Those interested in the Goddard-Maher fight, which takes place to-night, can get the full returns round by round at Theo.Lanc- tot\u2019s restaurant, 1761 St.Catherine street.The News at the Lyceum.The Lyceum Theatre has made arrangements with the Great Northwestern Telegraph Company to report the Maher-God- dard fight, round by round\u2014direct wire with the Coney Island Club.Maher-Goddard Fight.Harry Gilchen will receive the news of the Maher-Goddard fight Ly rounds at his restaurant on Lagauchetiere street.Jim Corbett Arrested.Boston, Mass., Dec.7.\u2014James Corbett, pugilist and actor, wus arrested yesterday.The action was brought-by- Joseph A.Lun- non Lo recover 85,000 for an alleged breach of contract to spar with him (Lannon) at Lannon\u2019s exhibition in this city March 16 last.Corbett failed to show up on the night in question, and the management of Lannon\u2019s exhibition were obliged to close the doors without giving the performance, The defendant was not taken into custody.Jordan Training at Halifax.Halifax, Dec.7\u2014Cal.Johnson the boxer is in the city and will train to meet the 140 pound man at Manhattan club, New York, the night before Christmas.He is also to be in condition to fight within six weeks any 138 or 140 pounds man, probably at, Coney Island.CURLING.The Montreal Club\u2019s Standing.Ar the semi-anuual meeting of the Montreal Curling club, held recently, the financial statement was presented, and it showed that the club fad a surplus of $7,000, on the same liabilities as last year, and they have their new rink and new club house to the good.BASEBALL, The Clipper Won.The committee of the Clipper Baseball club were requested by a number of friends to secure covered busses for their monthly hop, which is to be held to-morrow evening, and have done so.Should it be possible for sleighing it has been arranged to run covered sleighs also, and these will leave corner Guy and St.James streets at 7.45.and from Vinet and St.Antoine at 8 p.m., returning (as has been requested) by lower road and Wellington street bridge.FOOTBALL.Queen\u2019s Football Men Elect Officers.{Special to Tho Herald.)

IN \u201c\u201c WANG.\u201d One of The Herald Representatives Has a Chat With Manager McKinney, Who Tells of the Big Monster.Few theatre-goers have any intelligent conception of the mechanism of some of the \u2018\u2018animals\u201d that are in the cast of modern spectacular drama or comic opera.A long time ago when the heifer was part and parcel of *\u2018Evangcline\u201d it cuused an infinite amount of merriment, but few ever stopped to think how it was done.Although its construction was simple enough, the effect was wonderfully amusing.FRAME WORK OF THE ELEPHANT.A representative of The Herald met manager John W.McKinney last evening at the Academy of Music, and through his courtesy was cnabled to critically examine the working model of the monster mechanical elephunt in \u201cWang,\u201d DeWolf Hopper\u2019s delightful comic opera, which will be presented at the Academy on next Monday evening, for the first time in this city.\u201cThe elephant,\u201d said Mr.McKinney, in explanation, \u201cis a much more complicated oreature than any other mechanical property ever used on the stage, and while it amuses the play-goer, its mechanism is one of study, and the men who do the elephant act are not enjoying themselves as much as the people who are in front.With these men playing elephant is hard work, especially as the elephaut is constructed on scientific principles, and in order to make it work properly several consultations were held with the editor of the Scientific American, as well as with several prominent bridge engineers and architects.\u201cI'he body of the Hopper elephant is built upon the cantilever principle and by the law of mechanics its weight, as well as the weight of its rider, is thrown downward and is squarely distributed to the eight points of union as indicated in the above picture,\u201d DIAGRAM OF THE ELEPHANT'S HEAD.A.Wheels for the eyes.B.Wheels for the trunk.C.Cord for drawing trunk inward.D.Cord for drawing trunk outward.E.Leather thongs for operating wheels.F.Hook from which head is suspended.The two men \u2018\u2018who make the elephant,\u201d fore legs and hind legs, have something else to do besides stainp about on the stage.They are joined together by a yoke which fastens the neck, shoulders and arms of each man, and this yoke serves as a communication between the two men.When the front legs want to make a movement, this yoke prompts the hind legs as to their action.If the front legs want to advance, that movement naturally draws the hind legs.By the mechanical construction of the \u2018\u2018beast\u2019 the rider is enabled to shift his position on the back of the elephant at will.f this law were violated or not adhered to, the elephant\u2019s equilibrium would be

commented upon by the salmon kings of the Pacific Province, Cannery men here do not like the idea.They fear that the new commissioner may be a second Mr.Wilmot, of the Ottawa fisheries department.Mr.Wilmot was a member of the commie- sion appointed to enquire into the salmon fisheries of this Province.His inquiries, the canners contend, Were conducted in a spirit of opposition to them.Mr.Wilmot's notions and ideas of salmon May apply to the finny tribe in Atlantic waters.But here the canuers draw the line.The habite of salmon in Pacific waters differ in many particulars to the habits of Atlantic ralmon.That the new ficheries commissioner may follow in the waka of Mr.Wilmot is the drcad of the British Columbia canners.H:uce the appointment is not received here with good grace.he limitations of \u2018the salmon catch by agreement last year has had the dewired cffect upon the markets of the world.This statement is made by several prominent canncrfice of the Frazier

clection.Cleveland and Harrison were upon every tongue, but the name of Dewdn:y had no place that day.The excitement over the Canadas Western has subsided.But the scheme, is still alive, and will probably be carried through.Two surveyors are in the fi 1d.Th y will be aided by others chort- ly.This railway eventually aims at an Atlantic terminus, with Victoria as the extreme western point.The first portion of the road will be built from Victoria to Seymour Narrows, on Vancouver Island.The mainland portion from Seymour Narrows to the castern boundary of British Columbia will follow in construction.Seymour Narrows will be crossed by ferry.A bridge or tunnel ig contemplated.A party of Chicago capitalists, who are behind the scheme, are expected in British Columbia the end of the month.And the statement is that the pick and spades will soon be called into requisition.Real estate along the proposed line is being boomed, and Victorians pride them- cefves that the capital will be

legalcap, foolscap, ete., and the name foolgcap, with the supposed origin, interested me,\u201d said Joseph A.Reich, in the Lindell rotunda.\u201cThe word foolscap is said by some to be a corruption of The Italian foglio capo, à full-size pheet of paper; others say it is from folio khape; Webster's Dictionary says it is from the water marks used by the old paper makers, which consisted of a fool's cap and bells on the paper.This lagt wees to be tho true explanation, Among \u2018the monopolies which Charles I disposed of in order to increase his rev- enups was the manufacture of writing paper, which at that time always bore the royal ars im water mark.Under Cromwell, parliament, with hatred for this law, and in order to bring it into ridicule, ordered a fool's cap and belle to be wubstituted fro the royal arms.This water mark was afterwards removed, but the name has ever since been retained.\u201d\u2014Globe-Democrat .THE ELEPHANT\u2019S LEGS.The legs of the elephant are made

British Man-of-War\u2014Salmon Rings Opposed to a Fishery Commissioner.[Special Correspondence ofthe Horald.} The Court Martial upon Capt.Lamb- ton and Stali Commander Bawden, of the British mau-ol-war Warspite, has afforded food for thought.Capt, Lambton and Staff Commander Bawden were in charge of the Warepite wlien she ran upou à rock in Menzies Bay Aug.10 last.The Warspite has since been in the dry dock, and the accident will cost the Llm- perial Government a sterling sum.By order of the Admiralty Capt.Lambton and Staff Commander Bawden were court martialled, The Court martial was held ou board the ship Wavspite.The defendants proved that the Admiralty charts did not indicate the rock.The charts marked deep water, And al mariners testified that they had always considered the spot safe.This evidence did not suffice to excuipate Capt.Lamb- tou and Stall Commander Bawden.The court martial reprimanded them.They did not keep clear irom shoals and rocks, as \u2018the navy regulations directed.The judgment of the court martial is much criticized.Mariners affirm that the chart \u2018is the only guide.And lor following that guide two British naval officers have been reprimanded, The court martial has served a good purpose.It has proved that the Admiralty charts should not be relied upon.The accident to the Warspite has closely followed the accident to the

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1892, SAYS FAREWELL.Hon.J.A.Chapleau to the Electors of Terrebonne County.His Significant Remarks Bearing on the Spirit of Toleration in the Different Provinces and the Relation Thereof to Their Confederation\u2014Will not Give Up Interest in Public Affairs.Ottawa, Dec.7.\u2014Hon.J.A.Chapleau, the new Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec, yesterday issued his letter of farewell to the electors of Terrebonne, the constituency which he has represented for so many years both in the Legislative Assembly and in the House of Commons.He wrote as follows : To My Dear Electors of the County of Terre- bonne : Gentlemen,\u2014Twenty-five years ago you gave a young man, a child of the county, the mission of representing you in the Legislative Assembly at Quebec.Since then you have never withdrawn your confidence from him in his good as well as in his bad fortune.On ten different occasions you have re-elect- ed him, and it would seem that between you and me, as it is needless to say that the young man of 1867 was myself, there existed & long termed agreement for life and death.Providence has decreed otherwise and you will understand that in recalling the past, in speaking of what I owe you, it is not without a pang of the heart that I see myself obliged, on the absolute order of my medical adviser, to retire from ¢ active political life to tender you my resiguation as your member, and to bid you adieu, For several years I have struggled against a cruel malady which 1 have been unable to conquer in the midst of the all absorbing occupations of political life.Many changes have been wrought in the county of Terrebonne since I entered public life in the first days of Confederation.It was then a group of isolated parishes far removed from the great centres of population, and people only circulated with great difficulty.The efforts of the courageous ioneers of the north were far from produo- ing all their fruits.The creation of a Parliament at Quebec with great financial resources at its disposal enabled us to change the aspect of affairs in Terrebonne and elsewhere.Thanks to the attention Which the Legislature of Quebec was able to give to the local interests of the country, your ublic men, the Hon.Mr.Masson, M.le Bure Labelle, whom we still mourn, the Hon.Mr, Nantel and myself, succeeded first in giving this vast country colonization fouds and afterwards railways which placed t in communication with the great markets of Canada.Eight of your parishes already have railway communication, while the others are in close proximity to the arteries of commerce which carry everywhere comfort and activity, if not immediate wealth.With our system of cultivation a parish can only contain a small population, comparatively to its area, and when all its lands are fully cultivated there must fatally be a ourrent of emigration.The heirs not being able to indefinitely divide the paternal domain, as the principal hive sends out - §ts swarms in the neighborhood, your an.eient parishes have seen groups of young settlers go further north to found establishments which rival in wealth and importance ge most prosperous sections of the country.ou must congratulate yourselves on having seen your sons settle near you and thereby increase the national wealth, instead of going, like so many others, to con- Hribute to the aggrandizement of the neighboring States.It would be unjust rot to mention here the considerable aid which the Federal Parliament gave you in fulfill- Ing its generous policy towards the railways of the country.When a man like myself has had the advantage and the honor of representing in Parliament a county for a quarter of a century, there must exist between the electors and himself bonds much stronger than those born of ordinary common interests.Yor myself, there are between us relations almost of kinship, which are strengthened by time.You will permit me, under the influence of this sentiment and supported by the authority which a long experience gives, in formulating these wishes of happiness for you, to entreat you to conserve intact those gocial and religious traditions which are the fountain source of patriotism and which constitute the rampart of our national institutions.It is from its own strength that the eople must seek their salvation, because it E while thinking of the province of Quebec that it may well be said that \u201cthe people pre the living soil of the country, and it is from them that originates all that goes upwards.\u201d You see how important it is to - paintaïn in all its fullness that which has been your strength in the past and in the resent, to assure your future.On this sub- Fost I may repeat to you in a few words \u2018what I said some daysago in Montreal.The public men of Canada should all strive to ive effect to that beautiful and fruitful tra- ition of conciliation and bonne entente which was the presiding idea of confedera- * Hon and which has since brought to our pountry success, progress, and \u2018\u2018 peace with drder.\u2019 I have the firm hope that the different Jegislatures of the country will give evidence pf that spirit of tolerance which the church Yo-day recognizes under all forms to which hristianity has adapted itself and that the old provinces which have constituted the strength of Canada will not refuse to in- ppire themselves at the sources which have iven them their existence and stability.If t were otherwise, we would be disposed to have again placed in question and discussed new the conditions of union, which alone pan make a great nation out of the hetero- encous elements of our provinces only if t grants to the minorities the guarantee of their rights, privileges and immunities, without which these minorities would never pave accepted a compact which formed the asis of Éonfederation.Tolerance in its most elevated sense, mutual concessions within honorable limits, reciprocai esteem and respect for the religious creeds and races which have made our country great, prosperous and hopeful of the future\u2014this is the cement employed by the fathers of Confederation to bind them together and Place them beneath shelter from the des.ructive action of time.Let us inspire ourselves from the edifice of our nationality, and Canada will live in future generations like those imposing monuments which challenge the admiration of the world by the vastness of their proportions and the astonishing solidity of their construction.You are aware that this is the principle of conciliation which has guided me through my public life, overriding personal and local considerations in the crisis which we have traversed and in which Ihave figured.It was this principle which inspired me with courage in the days of struggle and to it I owe the reward which in the days of triumph the sentiment of duty accomplished eives.Tn my political career that was my first guide, and no matter what may be tue suture which Providence reserves for me it will be my last thought.In bidding you adieu I hope it will not be final, because if my strength returns [ will again be at the service of my fellow-citizens.1 do not intend to disinterest myself in the country, and particularly in the county of Terrebonne.Remember that I am one of your own and that 1 cannot remain indifferent to anything that concerns you.In discharging the delicate and important Junction of the representative of our Sovereign, I must, while remaining aloof from all intervention in active politics, follow with greater interest than ever the movement of the country towards material and intellectual progress, and second and encourage it within the limits of my attributions, and the measure of the means at m disposal.In recalling past struggles Ÿ wish to remember only the devotion and friendship of those who did not thinkasI did in politics; I wish to see only to-day, now that all this scene is far removed, butrfriends 1 where I had formerly opponents and partisans.We have so long worked together without occupying ourselves with ceremonious formalities that I had almost forgotten the words which 1 had intended using, to offer you my sincere thanks for your support, so constant and so kind; to express the profound regret which I feel in leaving you, and which will take the place, I am sure, of that official declaration of my gratitude which isfeternally acquired by you.I have the honor to be, as always, your obedient and devoted servant.(Signed) J.A.CHAPLEAU.Hon.Mr.Chapleau will be accompanied to Spencerwood by Mr.Alex.Clement, who has for some 18 months past been his private secretary at Ottawa.IN THE CIVIL COURTS.The Arab Trouble Ended \u2014 Bickerdike & Crowe vs.the Allans, ete.In the case between Ameer Lutfy versus Ameer Batal, Lutfy received judgment to the extent of $750.Judge Tait presiding.Before Judge Tait a petition for a writ of certiorari against the decision of the Recorder condemning Maria Lessard to pay a fine of $150 for selling liquor without a license came up in the Practice Court yesterday.An action was taken in the Superior Court before Judge Tellier yesterday whereby Mr.Robt.Pollock claims damages to the amount of 5,000 from Mr.L.Valli- quette for injuries to his son caused by a piece of ice falling from defendant\u2019s roof.The action taken by Messrs.Bickerdike and Crowe against the Allan Line steamship Co.has been ordered to be tried by jury.This, it will be remembered, is an action to recover damages for alleged depreciation in value of a consignment of cattle sent by Messrs.Bickerdike and Crowe to Dundee, but delayed owing to the steamer running short of coal and having to put in at St.John\u2019s, Nfid., to recoal, several days being thus lost.FAREWELL TO THE BOYS, Sir William Dawson Sends a Letter Full of Good Advice.Before leaving for the South, Sir William Dawson issued a very warm and interesting letter to the students of McGill, in the course of which he said: I had hoped in the present session to be among you as usual, doing what I could officially and personally for your welfare, but was suddenly stricken down by a dangerous illness.At the moment, I must be separated from the work that has always been to mea pleasure, and you will excuse me for addressing to you a few words on topics which seem to me of highest moment to you as students.I may group these UNDER THE WORD \u2018\u2018LOYALTY.\u201d We are all, 1 hope, loyal to our University, and to the University as a whole, not merely to any particular Faculty of it.McGill has endeavored, more than most universities, carefully to adapt its teaching to the actual wants and needs of the student, whether in the matter of that general academical learning which makes the educated man, orin the special training which fits the graduate for taking his place creditably in the higher walks of professional life.To this, I think, its success has been largely due.Yet with all the breadth and elasticity of our system we cannot perfectly meet every \u2018case, and there are still desiderata, the want of which is most deeply felt by those engaged in the management of the university.Our course, however, has been onward and upward ; and it may be truly said that no session has passed in which something has not been added to our means of usefulness, The future, indeed, has endless possibilities, and there will be ample scope for improvem®nt, and, perhaps, also for occasional complaints, when the youngost students of to-day have grown to be gray-haired seniors.You have good cause notwithstanding to be proud of your University and to cherish feelings of gratitude and affection to the wise and good men, who, amid many difficulties, have brought it to its present position and are till urging it onward.You should be loyal to the ideal of the the student.You are a chosen and special band of men and women selected out of the mass to attain to a higher standing than your fellows in those acquirements which make life noble and useful.It is not for you to join in the follies of frivolous pleasure-seekers, or to sacrifice the true culture of your minds and hearts to the mere pursuit of gain.Your aims are higher and require isolation from the outer world, and self-denial, in the hope'that what you are now sowing and planting will bear good fruit in all your future lives.Live up to this ideal, and bear in mind that the self- control and habits of mind which it implies are of themselves worth more than all the sacrifices you make.In the meantime, you remain here to ursue useful work, I go to seek restored ealth elsewhere, and can only rememler you in my prayers.Let us hope that when the winter is past we may meet once more, and that I may be able to congratulate you on well merited success, not merely in re gard to the prizes and honors which few can obtain, but in that abiding education of the mind and heart which McGill offers to all her studious children without exception.The Dairy Association, The general annual meeting or convention of the Dairy Association of the Province of Quebec will take place in Ste.Therese, county of Terrebonne, on Tuesday and Wednesday next.The proceedings will be carried on mainly in French, but there will be a special English sitting on the forenoon of the second day of

yesterday stating that the State of Georgia's cattle were toland at Aberdeen under the same conditions as formerly.This gave rise, it is said, to a rumor among cattle exporters that all restrictions had been removed by the lmperial authorities.The firm above mentioned, however, think it is only an exception made in the case of the State of Georgia.A Policeman\u2019s Brave Act.Yesterday morning the horses drawing an express wagon belonging to the Canada Meat Packing Company took fright and dashed off at a furious rate, to the danger of pedestrians.On reaching the corner of St.James street constable Poirier grasped the bridle of the near horse.He was thrown to the ground, but although dragged a considerable distance, held on, and finally succeeded 1n staying their furious course.A Scene in St.Jean Baptiste Church.According to La Patrie, the Chapel of the Congregation, on St.Jean Baptiste street, wags, on Tuesday evening, the scene of a serious panic.The church was filled by young women in attendance on the retreaf, now in progress there, who were listening with interest to the sermon ot Rev.Father Clapin, when suddenly the preacher lost consciousness, and fell forward over the front of the pulpit.Immediately a rush was made for the doors, and some dozen women fainted.Order was, however, finally restored without any serious results.Mrs.Toodle\u2019s Pop Corn, 5 different

held their regular meeting yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock.Among those present were Mr.D.McMillan, Rev.J.Nichol, J.T.Pitcher, Sadler, Ker and Geo.Cruikshank, Mr.Reneau, Jos.Richards, Rev.Ricdel and Ed.Sandreuter.A number of short speeches were made showing to what extent the work of relief had been carried on, and that in each case every possible means had been taken to protect the Board of Relief from being imposed upon by the large number of applicants who were not deserving of their care.It was shown that during the past month 405 lots of provisions, 33 quarter cords of wood, and half tons of coal haa been distributed.Every effort is being made to stop the fall immigration, and is meeting with success.In most cases these immigrants arriving in the fall are compelled through poverty to seek the shelter of the Refuge during the winter, as it is almost impossible to secure work for them.Itis also very noticeable that a large number come in from the country in the fall, and the majority of these are thrown on the charity of the city.It is generally believed that a still greater amount of relief will be required during this winter, and a special appeal will be made to the public for donations, which will, no doubt, be obtained.The following resolution was moved by S.Emily, seconded by Jos.Coristine :\u2014 That out-door relief be commenced on Thursday, the 22nd day of December inst, and carried on every week as usual during the winter, aud also that the following gentlemen be ap- ointed to make an appeal to the public, lhrough the press, for donations to carry on the work, viz., Chas.Alexander, Wm.Reid, Jas.Moor, Hon.J.K.Ward, Jos.Richard, G.Cruikshank ; carricd.The second resolution was as follows : Moved by Rev.J.Nichol, seconded by Rev.J.T.Pitcher, that the thanks of this meeting be and are hereby tendered to the Board of Outdoor Relief for the careful and efficient manner in which they have distributed the gifts of the benevolent public of the city, also to the city missionaries for the kind way in which they have investigated every doubtful case of application for relief from the Outdoor Relief Board.Carried.The meeting lasted for an hour, and as no further business was to be brought up the Rev.Mr.Ker dismissed the meeting with the benediction.If you are nervous and dyspeptic try Carter\u2019s Little Nerve Pills.\u201d Dyspepsia makes you

Electric Company Said to be About to Increase Their Capital.Wednesday, Dec.7th, There was very little change in local stocks to-day, and although the feeling was somewhat improved it was not especially marked.There is very little disposition to speculate, and the general tone is very dull.The satisfactory report of the Commercial Cable Co.published yesterday naturally created a better feeling for the stock, and at a time of usual activity would have proved a strong bull feature.As it was, the advance was insignificant, the close being 175$ bid against 174% bid last night.Sales were only 50 shares at 175.Pacific wasa fraction higher on better quotations from London, where it closed 92.In our market it opened 894 and closed 898.Bank stocks were fairly active with Montreal the strongest feature of the day, selling up to 230} at the close, against 2294 last night.Commerce was firmer at 1438, Peoples steady at 109, and_a single share of Toronto changed hands at 250.It is stated on the street to-day that the Royal Electric Company is before long going to Increase its capital from $750,000 to $3,- 000,000.Shareholders are to receive three new shares at par for every share they hold, 80 that if an investors stock cost him 250, his holdings after the new stock has been issued will cost him an average of $137.50 per share.ut is understood that the new capital will be applied partly to pay off bonds which the company has received advances on, and partly to increase their plant and bring in water power from the Cham.y.Money keeps easy at 3 per cent for call loans, with funds abundant at that figure.At the session of the Stock Exchange today, Mr.A.W.Morris, M.P.P., was elected a member.Mr.Morris is a partner in the firm of Lamontagne, Clarke & Co, Sales Were as follows : MORNING BOARD.225 Pacific.894 7 Montreal., 23 = Cable cavvsc es oh 3 Sommerce.vee His sasreusse .eople\u2019s.50 N.W.Land.89 ples 109 AFTERNOON BOARD.50 Pacific.89% 27 Dom.Cotton.135 17 Montreal.\u2026 299 1 Toronto 5 5\u201c Sol 250 Messrs.Mercdith & O\u2019Brien, St.Sacrament street, report closing prices as follows: MONTREAL DAYLY HERALD.THURSDAY.DECEMBER 8, 1592 out success to bring on a discussion of an American proposal.From Washington came the news that Senator Hill had introduced a bill to repeal our present silver law.The West sent more roseate views on the large movement of grain to the east and general merchandise back to the west, and reports of earnings were generally of a favorabls character, including a gain of $107,000 Ly Mo.Pacific for the last weok of November.It looks to us as if this stock must pull up again and eventually resume dividend.Any decided upward movement to the whole market just at present seems improbable, but a favorable solution to the various financial questions just now agitating the east wonld probably give us a decided change for the better.The early afternoon market was fairly firm, the majority of the trading element continuing to work on the long side.Messrs.Lemontagne, Clarke & Co., bankers and brokers, 183 St.James street, have received the following quotations by direct wire from New York: Closing.DescrrpTiON.High Low.Bid.Askd.Sales Atchison.354 SE, 35 | 16582 Am.Cot.OH | am al] ©] sos Do.pret.803] R80} 80 a 100 Am.Sugar .1073} 106}| 107%} 1074] 43045 Do.pref.| 102\u2019| 1013] 1013] 102 2 Am, Tobacco.1224 1223 122] 122% 100 Balt, & Ohio.| 943] 944} M 95 700 .8941 9041.99; 0§| 6055 1123} 112 1360 78 783] 8130 121 121812.89 22 = 8231 6953 C.St.P.M.&O.f 499} 48) 48 49 300 c Do.pref evened he il ili anada So.5 55.55; 2 : 56% 35% 5 il æ > De ° prié.canecfeus ee 9 st.¥.Co.67 47865 D.8.8.& A.\u2026 5 Cu ni RULES D.S.S.& A.pfd.FPT 8 à.Gen'l Elec.114 113} 113$| 114 2689 Hocking Valley.| \u201cag 273) D 30 1500 Lake Shore.180 1203 1303 1304 750 Louis, & Nash.| \u201cipl \u201crg 71 713 3100 LE &W.pra 74 Boe.Mo.Pacs a 2 id60b 0.Pac.54, 5 Mich.Cent.leone ees] pide Soh) 100 M.K.T.pre 95 \u201805 2 954 300 Manhattan.1304 132 130 Minn.& St.L.JE 130 tH 5 ceucce Do.pret.pe 43 443].N.Y.&N.E fai aL 8400 178 17 18 488 is 498 138 94 241} 248] 6480 54 55 800 1008 109$.110$| 1200 17} py in 800 \u201cig 12 2 1360 188) 183) 188| 1410 47| 463) 464) 47, 2250 _ Do.pref*.923 92 92 93 3230 Nat.Cordage.| 1383 1383] 138%| 1383| 940 Do.pref.n3| 114 |.Phil.& Reading, ñ 553 553] 33550 Pac, Mail.978] 283 400 Pullman.Rich Term\u2019, Yo, pref.So.Pac.St.P.& Dual.Texas Pacific.9 9 ToL A.A.&N.M.| 36% 36 Tenn.Coal.36h| 364 Union Pac.37H| 36} W.&L EB 2051 20ÿ Wabash.\u2026.1j 11|< 144 11H 300 Do pref.| 243 4 a #1 400 Western Union.!

trading in both stocks was very heavy, and in sugar there was u feeling that the stock would be dangerous to short at these prices, and that if half the good talk of the property was true, the stock could not remain long about these figures.In D.C.F.there seemed more or less of a fight, but the stock was Yery well supported at the decline, and the feeling is growing more bullish on it.The advance of 5c in the price of spirits, and the Probability of an advance in the Government tax it is argued must favorably affect earnings, In the general market this morning, including Grangers, there was some unsteadi- hess, and Rock Island and Missouri Pacific acted heavy.In the coalerslthefitraders tried to bull eading with but scant success, the pool Pouges supplying them with stock on rallies.Philadelphia sent new reports that income Interest would positively be paid in cash.There was but little talk on gold exports, ut exchange rates were firmer, and any advance will probably

Chicago, Ill., Dec.7.\u2014The only encouragement to holders of wheat to-day is the price which is 78) bid against 783 sellers yesterday, with Liverpool very much depressed 4 to 1d lower.Paris ie about 15 centimes lower, and all reports say poor demand.Yet clearances of wheat and flour figures over 600,000 bushels.Receipts at primary points reached 1,200,000 bushels, with about 1,100 cars at Minneapolis and Duluth alone, This causes a very bearish feeling throughout the country and among flour traders on different exchanges, Notwithstanding all this bearish outlook market appears very strong, buying for investment \u2018continues right along, brokers come in on every weak spot and take offerings, giving up the names of commission houses.The parties for whom the purchases are made still linger in the pastures among the dark horses.The low price and extensive buying by strong parties is the bull feature.Eastern shippers are taking considerable corn and trying to contract for No.3 yellow, to be delivered along in January, the price ranging in the neighborhood of 384c, a great inducement to shippers in view of contract corn selling for May delivecies at 4ze.It appears to day as though the short sellers would not make make many holiday presents from their profits on that side of the grain market in the near future.was a good deal evening up in the provision pit and slight changes in price after opening.Messrs.Lamontagne, Clarke & Co., have received the following from Messrs.Coun- selman & Day, Chicago, over their private wire : The grain markets were very quiet, but showed a slight improvement at the close.The Northwest continnes to send liberal selling orders here, although it is estimated that they have already sold two bushels for every one they have in sight.short selling has gradually congested the market and we think will before long work its own remedy in a sudden and radical advance in prices.The absorption of May contracts by heavy capitalists has been enormous.There was good buying of corn and oats by shippers, the best strength being shown in near deliveries of corn.The Cudahys were liberal and, continual sellers of January pork, lard and ribs, and although they supported the market by moderate purchases of May product on the soft spots, the net result must have shown very heavy liquidation on their part.Chicago, Dec.7.\u2014In wheat

well, the balance of the market is showing very little activity.In fresh lots of dairy a very gaod demand is reported at about 19 to 2lc, Lower grades of dairy held at about 18 to 19c find a very slow market, and holders would shade prices in order to effect sales.There is a fair demand passing for Western roll butter at about 17 to 196.We quote values as follows : Creamery, Sept.ceversrereeennnns oe 2B to2ic Creamery, SUINMET.«0% 21 to Æ2c Townships dairy, now.ve .21 to 29¢ Morrisburg and Brockville, n a.104102140 Western dairies, new.2.18) to Western roll, new.wes 18t019c The Utica Herald says: There is no change in the butter market to\u2019 be noted.Every western creamery is said to show wintry defects and brings only 4c above state stock.The latter is worth 30c for the best, and state dairy half tubs remain still at 27c.Cheese.The local market for cheese keeps very firm, apd buyers have to pay advanced prices for best quality goods, of which the \u2018stock on hand is small.It looks as if the amount of cheese in the country is not goin to pan out as much as was expeeted, an holders are therefore on the top of the market.Best Western Septembers are quoted 10$ to 11c, and Octobers and later from 4 to 4c lower.The Liverpool cable is steady at 53s for white and colored.Here is a little item taken from the New York Bulletia which shows a part of the situation : *\u2018 It is reported that only one Philadelphia hopse has made an important accumulation of stock this season, and that the others propose to buy along from time to time such odd parcels as their necessities may happen to suggest.\u201d Similar statements may be made concerning other cities and towns, and they assist the present owners of stock in bearing up under rather a dull market.The Utica Herald has the following on the cheese situation: The whole tendency of trade in the last few days has gone to show that foreign trade is holding off entirely from the purchase of our best quality of stock, and is simply looking out for bargains in cheese at I04c and under.For the | present, therefore, the market depends wholly upon home trade in fine full cream goods, and the weather has been so unfavorable that the New York market has shown a very dull appearance.Stock, however, is pretty well concentrated in the hands of parties who are in no hurry to sell, and who believe in higher prices ultimately.Domestic buyers have not stocked up as in former years, and the theory is that sooncr or later they must have the goods.Another special feature just now is the purchase of choice small skims by Eeglish exporters.It has generally been supposed that the American dealer had à special claim upon these goods which John Bull would scorn to touch.New it i3 openly acknowledged that John is picking them up in default of full cream stock not to be had at his own price.We all know that these light skims are very nice goods, showing by trial and hy analysis quite as mucl: fat as any of the Canadian full creams, and algo as much as some of our own summer made goods.But the skimmer has been in them, to a greater or less extent, and we are astonished that Johnny Bull should condescend to accept of anything tainted by the skimmer, eape- cially at the prices he is obliged to pay.Eggs.Dealers in eggs report very little trade passing at present, and although offerings are much larger, the general tone of the market is quiet.In strictly fresh stock vices still continue firm at 23¢ to 25c.A arge supply of held lots, summer gathered, are on hand, and offerings at present are made within the limits of 1Gc to 18c.Western lined are quiet, with dealers holding at about 14c to 15e.The New York market is steady at 30c.Dressed Poultry.The poultry market to-day did not show any special change, and although receipts were much heavier the market in general remains about steady.In geese the demand is very slight, and as the stock on hand is large\u2014the market being fairly glutted with them\u2014it is rather hard to quote prices, which range according to size and quality.There is a good demand for turkeys at about 9c to 10c, a good inquiry for ducks at 8c to 9¢; and chickens at 7c to 8c.We quote values as follows: Turkeys, Ducks porto Chickens, Goese, per 1b.,.Pigeons, per Ib.Another Large Shipment of Poultry.Messrs.Scott, Henderson & Co., have just received a large shipment of mixed poultry and game from Winchester, consisting chiefly of turkeys, chickens, ducks and geese.The whole lots weighs in the vicinity of 12 tons, and for the present it seems as if our local trade is going to be well supplied.Ashes.Ashes continues to show a very quiet tendency owing to light receipts.The market for pots is very quiet, with $4.60 considered an outside quotation.In pearls trade is very dull, and $5.20 to 5.25 are the present figures.We quote values as follows: Pots, first sorts.Pots, second sorts.Pearl, first sorts.PROVISIONS.In provisions to-day the market is still showing a very strong feeling.The demand is ver fight at present, especially for mess and Canada short cut pork, which keeps higher in sympathy with the west.; In dressed hogs the market is fairly active, ut at the present prices very little packing can be done, therefore all arrivals coming in now are purely for the local trade.Prices still have a very wide range, but 86.75 to $7 about covers the market, We quote values as follows: Drossed hogs, per 1001bs.$6.25 @ 1-15 Canada short cut mess, per bri.19.00 @ 20.00 Chicagu extra clear, per brl.00.00 @ 18.00 Western mess pork,

the corner of Raohel and St.Denis, when a buggy driving at a furious rate knocked them both down, the wheels of the buggy going over them.Fortunately the vehicle was light and they escaped with their lives, but sustained rather serious injuries.Sergeant Seuilliere\u2019s son had his leg badly cut, his shoulder dislocated, a bad cut on the head as well as other bruises.His companion sustained a severe shaking up as well as a broken leg.The latter was taken to his home on St.Hubert street, where lis injuries received attention.Young Soullieres managed to crawl to his home near by, and on his father opening the door to admit hin, was so exhausted that he fell into his father\u2019s arms in a fainting fit and was carried to his bed.The driver did not stay to see whether they were killed ot not.The Recorder's Dilemma.Recorder de Montigny had another incorrigible boy up before him yesterday morning, but on account of the action of the Provincial Government he could not send him to the reformatory, much to bis regret.He told the father of the boy, who was present, that if necessary he should lock the boy in a room to bring him into subjection.The parents ban very little hope from this mode of punishment, but promised the Recorder he would do his best.Another boy who was brought before him was likewise dealt with, His Honor threatening that he would prosecute the parents if

MONTREAL, 2 MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1892.ERSKINE CHURCH MATTERS.A BIG MERTING WHICH GRADUALLY GREW SMALLER.Many Motions and Amendments Proposed, Withdrawn, Lost and Carried\u2014In the End There Was Nothing Done.From present appesrances Erskine Church congregation, if nothing definite is done soon, will find themselves without a building in which to worship.It will be re- niembered that some time ago their present site and building at the corner of St.Catherine and Peel streets was sold.Oue of the conditions of sale was that they should vacate it within two years.A cominittee wus appointed, as reported exclusively in The Herald at that time, to select a site for a new church, Several were chosen and three or four congregational meetings held to decide upon the matter.Nothing definite was done and as about thres months of the two years had elapsed, a meeting was called for lust night to see if some decision could be arrived as.There was a fair attendance of members and adherents when the meeting was opened in Erskine ohurch basement a little after eight o\u2019closk, Dr.Ault in the chair, bat before 1t closed it had dwindled away coneid- erably.After some talk the meeting proceeded to discuss three of the sites that had been selected.These were 5 One on Bishop street, near Sharbrooke; one on the corner of St.Luke and Guy streets; and one on Sherbrooke street, at the head of Crescent.The former was thought by the committee to be too small.It was pointed out that the Guy street lot had been secured for the church as à cost of about $21,000, but it would fetch mors if sold now.To erect a church on the Sherbrooks site would involve & debt of about $40,000.It was not certain if the latter lot could be secured, and even if 1t could it would cost about $55,000.A discussion arose on the question of the likelihood of the Street Railway company putting a line along St.Luke street.If they did this the site would practically be Spoiled for ohurch purposes.Mr.David uile said thas he and Mr.Hodgson had scen both the City Surveyor and Alderman Wilson on the matter, but could not ascer- taid whether they would construct a line on this street until the by-laws before the coun- eil were adopted.One speaker said that even if St.Luke street were left out of the by-law, if the company wanted they could by means best known to themselves get permission from the council to put à line there.Dr, Warden advised that the Guy street property Le secured, if they found they would be free from the electric railway on St.Luke street.He suggested that if they paid $21,000 for this site, about $30,000 be spent in a church building, This would leave about $25,000 on hand, instead of their being saddled with a debt.This amount they could use to help sister churches in oorer localities to obtain suitable buildings n which to worship.Motion here followed motion, amendments and sub-amendments were moved, but none of them were put to the meeting, although they were discussed at considep- able length.Finally, seeing the meeting dwindling away, some one moved an adjournment to the call of the chairman ¢f the rd of managers.This was lost.A motion to the effect that the meeting express ite preference for the Guy street lot was moved and seconded.This was at once followed by an amendment that if the Sherbrooke lot could be purchased for a sum not exceeding $65,000, the meeting express its preference for it.The amendment was put after the meeting hed been in session two and a half hours, and was lost by a majority of three.The motion was put and carried by a majority of one, a mere handful of members being present to vote.Immediately the vote had been taken the meeting proceeded to break wp.The remnant were, however, called together, and Dr.Warden moved that the site committee ascertain definitely about the intentions of the Street Railway with reference to St.Luke street, and further endeavor to obtain another site to submit to a congregational meeting to be called as soon as possible.This was carried, and the meeting dispersed.CITY HALL MATTERS.Great Meeting of the Finance Committee Yesterday.Two long and strictly private mestinge of the Finance committee were held yesterday.The fires began at 5 o\u2019clock and lasted until pearly seven, and the second meeting opened shortly after eight and lasted until 10.80, when the conclave tinally adjourned.Ald.Hurteau, acting chairman of Finance, resided, and thers also present Ald.Mo- Bride, Farrell, Boisseau, Perreault and Clendinneng.The City Clerk was also in attendance, So strictly private were the proceedings that even aldermen not members of the committee were refused admittance, and although some of them sat around the city treasurer\u2019s office for quite at time,they were as much in the dark as to what was going on as the most ordinary citizen.After the meetings the financial magnates maintained a strict silence, but it was ascertained by The Herald that the matter discussed was the city\u2019s new four per cents, to float which the civic delegation is now in London.More than one cablegram passed between the delegates in London and the committee in Montreal during the afternoon and evening, and it is understood\u201d that the big financial undertaking is now positively and satisfactorily arranged.Two offers were discussed, it is said, but that of the Bank of Montreal t the most favor and was finally accept- et, and it is stated on the best of authority that the arrangement so far as the city is concerned is the best financial transaction for the city that has ever been attained by its financiers, At the Freneh Mock Parliament, The usual weekly meeting of the French Mook Parliament was held last evening in their club rooms on Notre Dame street, where there was a good attendance.The motion on the budget submitted by the Liberal cabinet was, after a lengthy and animated debate, carried on division by a majority of 22 amid loud applause.Chief Hughes Recognizes Bravery.Chief Hughes was eulogistic last evening over the conduct of constable Poirier, who 80 bravely arrested the madcap career of the Canada Meat express waggon, in Victo.riæ square yesterday morning.The popular head cf the force was also equally eulogistic over the conduct of Constable Authier, who gallantly plunged into the St.Lawrence river at Hochelaga a short time ago and succeed in saving the life of a wharf laborer.He will bring these acts up before the next meeting of the Police Committee and suggest that they be rewarded.Charged with Bigamy.Deputy High Constable Lambert arrested yesterday afternoon one Dominic Mignac, a native of Italy, a car cleaner at the Oan- adian Pacific Windsor street depot, on a charge of bigamy.Mignac arrived from his native clime about two years ago, leaving a wife and two children anxiously awaiting the time when a letter should arrive with the necessary capital to enable them to join him here.They were doomed to disappointment, and the reason was explained yesterday by the faithless spouse's arrest, he having married a Miss Louisa Gouin, of St.Adele, Terrebonne \u2018æunty, two months ago.The marriage having come to the knowledge of his first wife's brother: who is aleo in this city, he at once laid the pocessery information, and on being brought efore Judge Desnoyers yesterday afternoon Mignac pleaded guilty, but told the judge that he was under the impression that he was perfectly free to marry in a strunge country.He was committed to the Oourt of Queen's Bench.SAID TO BE IN MONTREAL.A New Yorker Who was Robbed By an Employee.; The New York Sun has the following : The Armour Packing Company has brought action in the Supreme Court to recover $15,000 from Charles G.Sinclair, known as George H.Saunders, for several years cashier of its office in Manhattan market.Henry E.Wise, auditor of the company, makes affidavit that Sinclair embezzled large sums, certainly as much as $15,000.His honesty had not been suspected until his disappearance about Nov.14.The firm received the following letter, which resulted in an examination of his accounts : DerLivaN HOUSE, ALBANY, Nov, 18, Mr.H.E.Wise.I sh DEAR SIR: By simply adding up the ca book for October and R Jvember you will find the amount of my

there to his credit of $1,100, which, the firm declares, is part of the money he converted.A careful look through the Windsor Hotel registrar shows that C.G.Sinclair, the gentleman in question, has

frame building at Burlington, Carroll county, occupied by John A.Graham for saloon purposes, was dynamited at 2.30 o'clock this morning and completely ruined.The explosive material was evidently

properties to the extent of 200,000 marks, or $30,- 000.It seems that Mr.Villard met Bismarck when he was in Berlin about the time the plan to consolidate the Milwaukee street railways was placed on foot and Bismarck became interested to such an extent that he has invested the above sum in the stock of the syndicate.TELEGRAPHERS WILL STRIKE.The Rock Island Railway Refused to Treat With Their Employees.Chicago, Dec.7.\u2014The management of the Rock Island Railroad company has declined to treat with the committee that has been trying to induce it toadopt a new schedule of rules and wages for its telegraph department.The committee was from the Order of Railway Telegraphers and assumed to represent a majority of the Rock Island operators.Officials of the company have discovered that the committee carried no authority from its operators in any number worthy of notice.The men held a meeting at the Palmer House to-day, at which Grand Chief D.G.Ramsey, of the Order, presided.The matter was discussed at great length, and the sentiment was strong in favor of a strike, and at the end of the session the following order was issued : Chicago, Dec.7, 1892.\u2014Bulletin 13.Rock Island

continuation of the disoussion before the National Agricultural Association brought out some interesting remarks, Mr.Chaplin declared that foreign competition was not the only cause for the fail in prices of agricultural preduets.The continuous rise in the value of gold was quite as serious a cause.The immediate remedy for that would be a retiæn to bi- metalisn, in regard to which he said the statement on the subject recently rade by Archbishop Walsh of Dublin was the most convincing ever published.Mr.Chaplin said heeurnestly hoped the conference would adopt the principle of bi-metalism.The Farl of Wincheslea and Nottingham suggested the formation of a wnion of landlords and tenants.He offered to give £2000 to assist in the foundation of such a union.William Saunders, a Radical member of Parliament, attempted to denounce protection, but was hooted down.Ho then attempted to offer an amendment to Mr.Chaplin's resolution declaring that the fall in prices of agricultural products was the natural result of improved methods of production, but the conference would have none of the amendment, and refused to allow it to be put to a vote.Francis Smith, a member of the London County Council, made a short address in which he remarked that a return to protection meant a return to barbarity.This statement was greeted with hoots and yells, Mr.Nethersole, à farmer delegate, proposed a resolution affirming that the unfair competition of untaxed foreign imports with home products was an injustice that called for immediate removal, and that therefore all competing imports ought to pay a duty not less than the rates and taxes levied on home produce.Mr.Nethersole\u2019s resolution was adopted by a large majority.Mr.Robert Lacy Everett, (Liberal), member of Parliament for the Woodbridge division of Suffolk, moved a resolution declaring that in the opinion of the conference the continuous fall in prices, which is so injurious to agricultural interests, is lar ely due to the appreciation of gold and the.Fall in exchange between gold and silver-using countries, and that the best and most effective remedy would be secured by an agreement on a broad international basis to reopen the mints of the leading nations to the unrestricted coinage of silver and gold.The resolution urged that the British Government be earnestly requested to co-operates with the other governments represented at the Monetary Conference now sitting in Brussels to secure such an international agreement.The conference adopted the suggestion made by the Earl of Wincheleos in regard to the formation of a union of landlords and tenants.Mr.Fowler, a Kentish farmer, moved as an amendment to Mr.Everett's motion that the conference had no faith in any changes in the law regarding the currency as a remedy for agricultural distress.Mr.Chaplin closed the debate by declaring that the owners of gold did not approve the motion because the more gold appreciated the better it was for them.Gold, he added, had appreciated in value since silver was kicked out in 1873, throwing a greater demand in gold.1t was à curious coinoid- ence that since 1873 the world had experiencing a prolonged and serious depression in every industry tor which no other reason could be assigned.The resolutions were then carried, there being few dissenters.THE NEW FRENCH MINISTRY.It is a Better Result than Could Have Been Expected, Says The Times.London, Dec.7.\u2014The Paris correspondent of The Times says: \u201cThe new Ministry is a better result than could have been expected from the muddle.The joining of the Premiership with the foreign portfolio is not a happy idea, for the Foreign Office ought to be as staple as possible, and not placed at the mercy of a fidgety member, The removal of M.Bourgeois from the Ministry of Public Worship must be a concession to the Pope\u2019s new Republican attitude, It 1s impossible to imagine that the Cabinet has accepted power without a firm decision to keep the Panama Canal Committee within constitutional rights.It is probable that the Ministerialists will forestal Biosserin's bill, and show clearly that the committee\u2019s powers will be made compatible with respect for regular legal processes.Their policy must be one to strip Boisserin\u2019s bill of its odious revolutionary marks.The Chamber, which has been quite mad during the past ten days, may he expected to pull itself together at the sight of the old familiar Ministers; otherwise public opinion will be instantly in arms.\u201d The Rev.Gentleman Remanded.London, Dec.7.\u2014The Rev.Mr.Kemp.thorn has been remanded at Shrewsbury charged with two attempts to assault Lis cook, a girl of 18, named Edwards.The girl alleges that she saved herself only by desperate struggles on each occasion.She informed Mrs.Kempthorn.Greatest Season In Its History.Sault St.Marie, Mich., Dec.7.\u2014St.Mary\u2019s Falls canal closed to-day after the greatest season in its history.The freight which passed through this year reached 11,241,000 tons, an increase of 2,325,000 tons over last year.Every important article of commerce shows an enormous increase.Grain increased 61 per cent., flour 48 per cent., and iron ore 38 per cent.The Penalty of Advertizing, Toronto, Dec.7.\u2014The medical council of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, sometime since erabed from the rolls of qualified pratitioners, the name of Dr.Washington, of McCaul street.The reason for taking this action was because Dr.Washington advertized liberally,

CONGRESS.ROTHSCHILD\u2019S WITHDRAWAL OF HIS SCHEME DOES NOT DEBAR DISCUSSION.Several Delegates Think that the Failure of the Conference Can Yet Be Avoided.B-ussels, Dec.7.\u2014An important section of the Monetary conference holds that Mr.de Rothschild\u2019s withdrawal of his plan for a solution of the silver question doesnot debar further discussion of his proposals, the committee to which the plan wus referred having presented it for the consideration of the conference, thus taking it out of the hands of Mr.de Rothschilds.Both Senor Toka and M.Sainstellette hold that a failure of the conference can yet be avoided by a majority of the delegates recommending either the Levy project or the amended de Rothschild plan.\u2018The scheme proposed by C.F.Teitgen, the Danish delegate, is treat.with indifference.It may be dropped without discussion.The proposal advanced by Sir C.Houlds- worth, though approved by the prononnced bi-metallists,is not considered by his colleague worth wasting time over.The uncertain attitude of the French delcgates in influencing the other representative whose countries belong to the Latin union is apparent.It is the opinion of many of the delegates that the French Government does not desire the conference to decide anything.An interview has been published here with Leon Say, the French tinancier.M.Say declared that he thought the attitude of both the English and American delegates was a deplorable one, and especially that of the Americans, who appeared to be without any definite proposals.In regard to the de Rothschild proposals, M.Say declared that he thought they solved nothing.Henry W.Cannon, one of the American delegates, has asked the committee to discuss the proposals of the American delegates as stated to the Plenary Conference.Montefore Levi, President of the Conference, opposes the proceeding to discuss the American proposals.He bases his objections on the ground that the committee was appointed to discuss a special question on referance from the conference, and that the American proposals are related to fundamental principles that would better come within the competency of the conference.A majority of the committee concur injthe opinion ot President Levi.E.Benjamin Andrew, of the American delegation, and J.M.Boissevain, of the Netherlands, will speak in favor of the American plan, when it is discussed tomorrow.In an interview to-day, Signor Simonelli said : ¢ It is still impossible to predict the upshot of the conference.You see what unexpected things are happening at our meetings.President Levi has received a communication from Mr.Allan, member of the Institute of Civil Engineers, who has had much experience in India, suggesting that the silver producting countries agree each to impose a fiscal duty on all silver exported, except ou their own silver coins, the duty being on a sliding scale equal to the difference in value of the market price of silver and the international minimum value, less a fixed percentage on coinage; no silver thus exported being under the standard minimum value, but to be free to command exchange in its favor.The proposal, it is expected, will be discussed by the committee, but it is doubtful if it will be seriously entertained, in view of the fact that Mexico and other silver producing countries have clearly explained that they cannot agree to any restrictions of the silver industry, COMMENTS OF THE TIMES.London, Dec.7.\u2014The Times, in commenting on yesterday's proceedings of the International Monetary Conference, Says : \u2018Sir William Houldsworth's plan is the drollest yet proposed, and may serve to amuse certain delegates with the notion that they are making valuable contributions to economic science.Mr, McCreary\u2019s speech is chiefly remarkable for the frank admission that the United States will take the earliest opportunity to repeal the Sherman Act, or, in other words, abandon the experiment which Europe had been invited to undertake.\u201d THE EDITOR'S XMAS BOX.It Wasa Big One and Worth Something.The Christmas tree at Zenith City was boing stripped and my present waa the last of all.There was a hush of expectancy, as, in response to the invitation of Judge Begad, I stepped upon the rostrum to pluck the gift from the tre with my own hands.During the evening I had earnestly regarded a guany bag, which depended from a sturdy limb mearly at the back of the tree, with its bottom resting on the floor, and which, someone bad whispered, contained my \u2018present, The bag was about six feet long and seemed to be well filled, and Th my innocence I peopled ite interior with & new suit of clothes, an overcoat and hat, and perhaps a trunk to keep them in on week days, telliug myself fthat at last my sturdy editorial warfare for the good of the town had won appreciation.With happy heart and beaming smile [advanced and pulled the end of the bow- knot which bound the bag to
