EDDYS AD, TO-DAY Is A POINTER FOR YOU.EIGHTY-SIXTH YEAR.NO.2.MONTREAL, TUESDAY MORNING.JANUARY 3, 1893.READ IT! PRICE TWO CENTS RED HOT ANARCHY Barcelona the Scene of a Wildly Enthusiastic Gathering.4 Second Edition of Louise Michel Makes Her Appearance on the Stage and Greatly Excites Her Auditors\u2014A Baptism of Blood Advocated\u2014The Government Preparing to Deal With the Prospective Outbreak, Madrid, Jan, 2.\u2014Fifteen lLiundred Anar- thists held a reunion yesterday evening in Barcelona to celebrate the New Year.There was much incendiary talk, and several of the speakers predicted a reign of bloodshed and terror in Spain during the year just opened.The leading Anarchist, one Molas, declared that he meant to inaugurate 1893 with a baptism of blood.Great shouts of approval and torrents of denunciation of the grandees and middle classes followed this declaration, as a female anarchist, Theresa Claremunt, sprang to the platform.She isas fierce an enemy of the established order of things as Louise Michel, and a good deal more handsome, \u2018Go home,\u201d she cried, with flashing eyes and tossing hair, \u201cgo home for the present and save the centimes your oppressors allow you to earn while they revel in wealth.Save the wretched pittance to buy rifles and prepare to execute on the bloodsucking capitalists and their miserable tools, the destruction provided for them in the anarchists\u2019 programme.\u201d Howls and shouts of applause broke in upon the words of the speaker.\u2018\u2018 Give them no quarter,\u201d she cried ; \u201cno quarter.I will lead you to the points of the bayonets.\u201d The whole audience scemed frenzied by the woman\u2019s wild utterances, and there might have been a dungerous demonstration but for the interference of some cooler heads, who succeeded in calming the excited gathering.The authorities have not attempted to interfere with the movement, which they believe to be fomented by French, combined with Spanish anarchists, but they have made extraordinary preparations for the possibility of an uprising, and the garrison of Barcelona has been considerably strengthened, and the number of sentinels at public buildings increased.The Minister of the Interior has received information that several hundred pounds of dynamite have disappeared from depots in mines of Luinare, in the south of Spain.The local police have not yet discovered the thieves or the direction they took with the explosives, The authorities continue to receive threatening anonymous letters both here and the provinces.The police are closely watching the anarchists n every part of Spain and particularly at Valencia, which is regarded as an active centre of the anarchist movements.A cir- oular has been sent to the provincial authorities containing instructions for their guidatice.ANARCHISTS IN FRANCE.London, Jan.2.\u2014The Paris correspondant of The Chronicle says: \u2018Many Anar- hist revolutionary proclamations have been found lacarded in Paris.They are eagerly read by the people, but the police efface them 18 quickly as possible.There is no doubt prepagations hove been made for street manitestations, but such attempts are not likely to be serious, as.the poiice are fully cognizant of the plans »f the revolutionists.At an anarchist meeting held in Belleville yesterday, one orator, Labouchere, was hooted by the audience who believed he was a police agent engaged in fomenting anarchist alarm to divert public attention from the Panama scandal.GERMAN MINERS\u2019 STRIKE.TROOPS CALLED OUT TO PREVENT AN OUTBREAK.The Number of the Strikers Has Been Greatly Augmented\u2014No Merey to be Shown Them by the Emperor.Berlin, Jan.2.\u2014The authorities are considerably agitated by the serious character of the strike of coal miners in the Saar district, and yesterday 4 battalion of the 29th and 69th regiments, and a large force of gendarmery were.ordered to the scene of the disturbance.The number of strikers has increased rapidly and now they number about 22,000.Many of them have arms and serious rioting is reported at several points in the district.The leaders of the strike have forced thousands to join them, who would have preferred to remain at work, and their object appears to be not so much to attain an alleviation of the condition under which they have been employed as to excite an insurrection.The suthorities have received information that socialist and anarchist agitators are behind \u2018he movement, and the kaiser has given orders that all lawlessness must be sromptly suppressed at any cost.The mili- wary are under instructions to enforce order without mercy for rioters, and to protect those who wish to work in returning to the sines.The authorities hope that with sufficient military and police protection there will be no difficulty in getting the mines into working order again.The rioters, it is said, will be suppressed if it takes an army corps to crush them.THAT SCHISM.Some More Detalis About the Split in the C.H.B.A.Ranks.In its report of the C.M.B.A.proceedings on Saturday, The Herald said that it was with the authority of Supreme Deputy Me.Garry, of Rochester, that the new grand council was instituted.This should have read Supreme President McGarry, of Franklin, Pa.In an interview with Grand President P.O'Reilly last evening, The Herald reporter was complimented on the correct report published by his paper.He informed The Herald that accompanied by Vice-President Nugent he had waited on the Rev.Father Sentenne last evening, who had explained to them the Notre Dame Church episode.He had assured them that the action of Father Marre was not on account of any orders from the Bishop, as none had been issued.The fact of their not having any service was due to his own forgetfulness.He had forgotten all about the arrangements made previously and so neglected to have provision made for a mass, With reference to what Mr.Fraser had said about its being an American organization, it was no more American than the Grand Council of Canada.They were both under the ruling of the Supreme Council.Mr.Deare was from Windsor and had come down to organise the Council av Mr.O'Reilly\u2019s special request, and he was the one who organised the first branch in the Province of Quebec.A Poem by William Watson.The Chronicle publishes this morning a a short poem written on Sat urday last by Wiiliam Watson, who became insane recently.The poem is entitled *\u2018A New Year's Prayer,\u201d and is regarded as an indication that the poet's sanity hasbeen fully restored.THE LEGISLATURE CALLED.January 12th the Date Fixed for the Open- ing\u2014Quebee Notes.[Special to The Herald.Quebec, Jan.2.\u2014An extra of the Quebec Gazette was published to-day calling the Legislature for the 12th instant for the despatch of business.In the same issue is mentioned the swearing in of Messrs.Hall and Casgrain as members of the Administration with the same portfolios as before.A very large number of gentlemen called upon the Lieutenant-Governor to-day.Mr.Gaspard Huot, the popular pro- rietor of the restaurant at Montmorenci alls, died yesterday.The bachelors\u2019 picnic, which was to take place there to-day.was in consequence indefinitely postponed.,À SHAKY REPUBLIC.FRENCH PRETENDERS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE PANAMA SCANDAL.But the Imperial and Monarchical Ideas Seem to Have Been Rooted Out.New York,Jan.1\u2014TheHerald\u2019s cable says: The year ends badly for French politics and the internal situation of France.The political crisis continues to develop, and notwithstanding the desire of the Government to hush it up, it is, I believe, impossible to stay the scandal.livery day brings some new proof.Yesterday 1t was stated that five Deputies, three of whom are radicals and ore Boulangist, are compromised.We cannot tell what to-morrow may bring forth.Two things are very serious.First, the discontent in the provinces, and, second, the dissentions among members of the Government.On the first point all letters from the provinces are unanimous in declaring that the Panama scandals have produced a profound impression upon the population.DOWN WITH THE THIEVES.The affair is simple and understood by the simple masses.For the peasants, all the present Deputies, without political distine- tion, are robbers, no matter what pa:t they took in the Panama business.So violent are their sentiments that Deputies have been hooted in several towns.At Nantes they were unable to speak at a public meeting, the Auvergne peasants drowning their voices with cries of \u2018\u2018 Down with the thieves !\u201d It may therefore be confidently predicted even now that the elections of next October will bring about an entire change in the composition of Parliament.Approximative calculations give as the probable proportions 250 reactionists, 100 socialists, and 200 republicans of the existing shade.A SPLIT IN THE CAMP.There are serious divergencies of opinion among the members of the government on account of the bud state of trade.The last Cabinet council was very stormy.The Ministers wish to oblige ¢ 33,344\u201d to tender his resignation, which he energetically refused to do.They then brought out a photograph of a letter written by * 33,344\u201d to Cornelius Herz at the time of the Presidential election of 1887, in which he said: \u2014 \u201cI beg you in the name of services rendered to prevail upon Clemenceau and his friends to vote for me.\u201d \u2018 33,344\u201d cannot deny the authencity of the letter, but argues that it does not affect his honor.He says he renders too great service to the national defence to think of quitting office, nnd he will not go.CARNOT READY TO RESIGN, President Carnot then took part in the discussion, and was, the Ministers say, very calm and dignified.He declared that the new situation required new men, and he was quite ready to resign.He hoped his example would be followed, and added that under existing circumstances it was necessary that the man presiding over the destinies of France should represent before foreign nations the principle of unity and national defence.He will, therefore, in his message, recommend resignation, and designate ag his successor, Admiral Gervais, who commanded the French fleet at Cron- stadt, and who represents the strong Franco- Russian alliance.The speech produced a deep impression upon the Ministers and persons in the secret, who believe that the resolution come to by President Carnot will produce a greater effect in the country when it is known than any other news, especially in the terribly low state of public funds.During the week French rentes have dropped five per cent.A HAPPY NEW YEAR.Notwithstanding all this Paris goes on as usual; all the Parisians are in the streets, their arms full of parcels of New Year's gifts.Whatever may be said by those who fail to understand the Parisian population, the crisis is entirely political and not social.It is possible that in a moment of bad temper the people may throw the Chamber on one side, but they will do so as if they were getting rid of a troublesome burden with a sigh (\u2018\u2018Ouf!\u201d) of relief rather than anger.Buv there is no precursory sign of a violent revolution.A violent socialist movement exists only in the imagination of a few visionaries.A hundred of them might march to the Place de la Concorde, but would get no further, nor would their number increase.Dynamite explosions are possible, hut they have nothing to do with politics.NO REVOLUTION POSSIBLE.I repeat that France is the last country where a socialistic revolution would be possible.1 well know my fellow citizens, having always lived among them, and have ing friends both in the Faubourg St.Antoine and the Faubourg St.Germain, and I believe that any violent revolution is impossible in this country.That we have been dragged into the mire is incontestable, and how we shall come out of it nobody knows, but I am convinced that not a hundred shots would be fired in the whole of France if anybody attempts to overthrow the Republic.As nobody has either the couruge or the strength to do this, we can be perfectly reassured.Those prophets who predict socialist troubles in France shortly only prove that they do not know what they are talking about.MONARCHICAL MACHINATIONS.London, Dec., 31, 1892.\u2014\"The Orleanists have by no means abandoned the hope of gaining the throne of France through à revulsion in republican sentiment caused by the revelations in the Panama affair.What the present intentions of the Orleanists are it would be had to say, but it is evident that some project is contemplated that is intended to lead to the overtvrning of the republic and the establishment.of a monarchy.The Comte de Paris has telegraphed to his son, the Duke of Orleans, who is now traveling in Indo-China, to hasten his return in order that he may take part in the deliberations of the Orleans party.In English circles it is believed that there is no chance of the machinations of the French royalists and imperialists proving successful.It is thought that the French government by pursiung those implicated in the Panama scandal to punishment, will establish the Republic on seunder foundations than before, and will render such an evil as the Panama affair hereafter impossible.Big Decline of Securities.Paris, Jan.2.\u2014-The Economiste says the decline of securities on Furopean exchanges since the beginning of the Panama proceedings amounts to at least 2,800,000 francs.FLEMING ELECTED By the Biggest Majority Ever Given a Mayor in Toronto.The Result of the Polling for Aldermen at Ottawa\u2014The Mayors Elected in Various Ontario Cities\u2014Early

OTTAWA.[Special to The Herald.} Ottawa, Jan.2.\u2014The municipal elections passed over quietly here to-day.There was no contest for the mayoralty, but still a good vote was polled.In addition to the elections for aldermen, there was voting on four bonus bylaws, one for the Ottawa and Parry sound road for $150,000 and another for the Kingston and Smith\u2019s Falls road for $40,000, a third for the Cummings Bridge, payment of city\u2019s share for construction, and the fourth for expenses of procuring a park site.The results of the aldermanic elections were as follows, being given according to how they stood at the close of the poll : Victoria ward\u2014Scott, MacLean and Donald Mason.- Dalhousie ward-\u2014Feterkin, Jamieson and Maguire.Wellington ward\u2014Corry, Aslie and

Destroyed.Goderich, Ouat., Jan.2.\u2014The Western hotel, Ed.Sevarts proprietor, was wholly destroyed by fire this morning at an early hour.The building was a large frame structure and burned like tinder.Nothing was saved, the inmates losing all their effects and only getting out with their lives.The large stables adjoining the hotel were also consumed with their entire contents Two valuable horses were burned.The blacksmith shop belonging to Lewis Elliott was also destroyed with contents.The hotel was covered by insurance : $1000 in the Royal, 8500 in the Western and also in the North British.The cause of the fire is unknown.Afraid of the Unemployed.Vienna, Jan.2.\u2014The municipal government has been so alarmed by the prospect of a demonstration by the 25,000 unemployed in the city that it has appointed many special policemen and ordered that special precautions be observed to prevent riots.Made in Montreal.No.1 salvage, at No.2 rire station, received their new winter sleigh last evening, the hand work of Mr.A.Durocher, carriage maker, Notre Dame street east.The equipage is a masterpiece and fitted up with a patent brake, the invention of Capt.J.Naud, of the brigade, who was formerly foreman of No.1 salvage waggon.The whole turn out reflects credit on Mr.Durocher and demonstrates that it is not necessary to go to the States for patrol waggons,

Mac- Donald has decided to hold his seat in the commons for another session.This is gratifying news to Winnipeggers, us it will also doubtless be to his rellow-members in the House, and many eastern friends.Dr.McEachran, of Montreal, inspector of Dominion live stock.is here, and states that cattle in all western ranges have thus far wintered well, notwithstanding several rather severe storms.He dces not think the dressed beef trade will amount to much this year at least.NEW YEAR'S CELEBRATION.HOW THE DAY WAS OBSERVED IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE WORLD.The Governor General\u2019s Last Reception of the Kind at Ottawa\u2014Washington Never So Dull.[Special to The Herald.) Ottawa, Jan.2\u2014There was more than the usual number of callers who attended the reception given by His Excellency the Governor-General in his office in the Eastern block to-day Letween 12 and 1 o'clock.This was no doubt due to the fact that it will be the last New Years day that Lord Stanley is likely to be here as Governor-General, his tern of office expiring next summer.Calling on New Year's day, judging from those who followed the old time custom, to-day, is pretty much a thing of the past.The weather was extremely pleasant, although the roads were a little heavy from the snow fall of yesterday, and the street cars were running bright and early.WASHINGTON WAS VERY DULL.Washington, Jan.2.\u2014To-day was the quietest New Year Washington has experienced within living memory.The White House was not only a house of mourning, but was quarantined by reason of infectious fever, Consequently, there could have been no presidential reception had not domestic bereavement forbidden it.Cabinet officers and leading officials of the Government followed the example of the chief executive and the entire omission of all the official receptions deprived the day of all the life and color which the brilliant uniforms of the diplomatic corps and the officers of the army and navy usually give to the occasion.Speaker Crisp, being sick, though not seriously, Mrs.Crisp did not receive.At nearly all the leading hotels the custom which has been observed for many years by the lady guests of holding a reception in the parlors was this year omitted.Very few private residents kept open house.® With all the departments and places of business closed, there was scarcely anything except the open bar-rooms and restaurants and the closed churches to distinguish the day from the dullest of Washingtons dull Sundays.AN IRISH CELEBRATION, Dublin, Jan, 2.\u2014A party of Parnellites at Kilrush who were celebrating the new year \u201cbecame imbued with bitter political animosity after they had filled themselves with Irish whiskey,and determined to wreak vengeance on their political enemies, the Anti-Par- nellites.They marched in a body to the rooms occupied by the Workmen's club and made an attack with stones upon the building, smashing all the windows and doing other damage.The mob gained fresh accessions while this attack was going on and when a proposal was made to attack Temperance Hall 1t was received with shouts of approval.In a short time the latter building was in as bad a state of wreck as the Workmen's club.The police were absent and no opposition was offered to their rowdyism.The mob attacked the residences of the town commissioners, who are supporters of Timothy Healy,and the houses of other men who have been active opponents of the Par- nellites.Considerable damage was done.Towards morning the mob dispersed.Today a number of the rioters were arrested.BAD WEATHER AT HALIFAX, Halifax, Jan.2.\u2014 There could hardly possibly have been a rainier day than prevailed in Halifax from dawn till dark.It lessened considerably the attendance at the levees, but still the numbers that turned out were fairly large.Levees were held by Lieut.- Governor Daly, Archbishop O\u2019Brien, Bishop Courtney, Gen.Sir John Ross and Consul General Frier.AT THE PRAIRIE CITY.Winnipeg, Man., Jan.2.\u2014The reception at Governinent House to-day was a grand success.The number of people who called was much larger than on similar occasions in previous years, the spacious drawing- rooms being thronged continually during thé hours of the reception.All classes of the community were represented by those who paid their respects.His Honor was attended by members of the Cabinet and district military staff.Mrs.Schultz also held a reception assisted by à galaxy of prominent Winnipeg ladies.Among well attended receptions in the city to-day was that given by the young Conservative Club at the club room.Nearly all leading citizens enjoyed hospitality of the young guard.ST.JOHN'S RECEPTIONS WELL ATTENDED.St.John, N.B., Tan.2.\u2014The holiday was very quietly observed to-day, due in a measure to the heavy rain.Various organizations held receptions all being well attended.The Lieut-Governor and Lady Tilley had a very large number of callers.A DESTRUCTIVE DISINFECTOR.A Steamer Passengers Property Destroyed at Halifax.Halifax, Jan.2.\u2014All passengers ticketed for the United States now arriving here by English steamers have to be fnmigated at Halifax with dry and live heat.Their goods are all placed in disinfecting machines for a car.Satnrday the heat reached nearly 300 degrees and a good fur coat belonging to one of the passengers was rendered valueless while a valise, the property of the same passengers was so frizzled that its owner would not take it with him.The Emperor Very Determined.Berlin, Jan.2.\u2014All the reports of the speech «delivered by Emperor William at the New Year's reception yesterday concur in stating that His Majesty in referring to the army bill said that the Reichstag would be dissolved if the bill was not passed.PERSONAL.Among the arrivals at the Richelien are: \u2014 S.O.Lamarche, New York; H.B.Huot, A.C.Brosseau, St.Hilaire ; J.C.King, Ottawa ; H.Coleman and wife, Springtield, Mass.Among the arrivals at the Riendeau are :\u2014 L.A.Prevost, Ottawa; KE.Valois, Quebec ; D.Beauchemin, Sorel; Mr.and Mad.Petit, St.Jerome; A.Lacroix, Belgium ; Jas.Crebossa, Sorel; Jas.Kelly, Ottawa ; J.Fiset, St.John\u2019s ; W.H.White, Quebec ; W.Giguere, J.Martel, Rutland ; L.8.Pelletier, Gaspe; D.Thibaudeau, Quebec.Balmoral Hotel, Montreal, has a central location, is lighted by electricity and heated by steam.AT THE THEATRES Wilson Barrett Makes His Debut in Montreal.A Good Series of Amusements Well Attended \u2014A Real New England Circus\u2014Variety and Athlete Performances at the East End Theatres\u2014Many Matinees Are Promised For This Week.\u201cThe Silver King\u201d is a great play.Though it belongs to the melodramatic class, it is not to be mentioned in the same breath with the ordinary spectacular performance.It borders on great drama.It compasses the great experiences of life; it pictures wrong doing, unavailing repentance, fidelity and deathless affection ; shows the weakness and the beauty as well, of human life ; bristles with morals, though it is not a play with a purpose.He would be a callous man indeed who could sit through a performance of -\u2018\u2018The Silver King\u201d and not have some chord in his heart stirred by the story.It is the play\u2019s \u2018humanness,\u201d to use a word that Webster does not recognize, that is the secret of its abiding popularity.\u2018\u2018 The Silver King\u201d never had a finer presentation in Montreal than yesterday afternoon in the Queen\u2019s, when Wilson Barrett opened his Montreal engagement with it.Much of Mr.Barrett\u2019s reputation is identi- tied with \u201cThe Silver King.\u201d The play itself is partly his production.It was first produced at his London theatre, and he was the creator of the role of Wilfred Denver.A peculiarly forceful and sympathetic interpretation of this character, therefore, marked the performance of the \u2018Silver King,\u201d which yesterday enchained the interest of an audience that completely filled the Queen\u2019s Theatre.The part calls for versatility.Wilfred Denver passes through crises to simulate which requires uncommon tragic power.Mr.Barrett was in turn the drunken man, mad with despair at having lost his all at the Derby; the insanely angry man searching for his enemy to kill him ; the supposed murderer of Geoffrey Ware, overwhelmed with terror and remorse: the fugitive from justice, lashed into madness by the furies of memory ; the beneficent and benevolent \u201cJohn Franklin\u201d trying to find a balm in the doing of good, and then the vindicated man happily reunited to his wife and family.Mr.Barrett was particularly powerful in the first act when he recovers from his stupor in Geoffrey Ware's drawing and finds the dead body of his enemy beside him.First his face showed astonishment, but as there gradually dawned upon his sluggish memory the remembrance of the events preceding his unconsciousness, his face changed to an expression of inexpressible terror and horror.The shock sobered him at once, but the delirium of liquor gave place to the frenzy of remorse.His interview with his wife (Alice Belmore) which follows, was another powerful and affecting piece of acting, in which Miss Belmore fully participated.Again, in the second act, Mr.Barrett did some wonderful work.His reading of the famous prayer, \u20180 God, turn back Thy universe, and give me yesterday,\u201d was a triumph of elocutionary power.His interviews with his lituie daughter, *\u2018Cissie,\u201d were very affecting, and brought many handkerchiefs into play.Mr.Barrett's conception of the part was wonderfully complete : * Wilfred Denver\u201d walked the boards a very distinct and positive individuality.Mr.Barrett was assisted in making the performance one of the greatest successes in the history of the Queen's by the support of a fairly capable company, by perfect stage management, and by admirable scenery.The famous roie of \u201cThe Spider\u201d has had better interpreters than Mr.Cooper Cliffe, and the same may be said of Mr.Melford\u2019s \u2018\u2018Eliah Combe.\u201d This does not mean that these gentlemen did baldy, but there are degrees of success, Miss Belmore as \u201cNellie Denver,\u201d the tender, trusting and faithful wife, was almost perfect.Her acting is marked by great naturalness and delicacy, while nature has been kind to her in the matter of the charm of personal appearance.Mr.Franklyn Me- Leay, who as 2 Canadian is the object of much interest, had the part of Cripps which did not give him much scope for the display of his abilities.Mr.Manning as \u201cHenr Corkett,\u201d was clever.Miss Pollis Smit as \u201cCizzie Denver,\u201d was as pretty and artless as child actresses usually are; and soon established herself in the good graces of the audience.Some of the cleverestacting was done by the minor characters.Parkyn, Bronson and Binks the trio whose discussion of the murder outside of the \u2018Chequers Inn,\u201d so disturbed Denver, had but little to do, but did it perfectly The interview between Mr.Geo.Franklyn as a \u201cTipsy Passenger,\u201d and Mr.Lynd as a \u201cRailway Inspector\u201d was also capitally done.he stage management left nothing to be desired.There were no exasperating delays between the acts.Indeed, delays would be fatal to the \u201cSilver King,\u201d which is a five act drama with fifteen scenes.The scene shifting was done like magic, the stage being temporarily placed in darkness, and the play ran along rapidly.All the original scenery was employed in the production.Some of 1t was very fine, particularly the ** Street in Clerkenwell,\u201d ¢\u201c The Exterior of the Chequers,\u201d and *\u201c The Grange.\u201d The greatest enthusiasm on the part of the audience marked the production.Of course Mr.Barrett carried off the lion's share of the applause, but clever work by Miss Belmore and other members of the company was not allowed to pass unnoticed.Recalls followed every act, all the principals being in turn called to the footlights.In the evening when the play was repeated the *\u201c standing room only \u201d sign was again displayed, and the enthusiasm of the afternoon was repeated.The audience included about one hundred students, who as usual made themselves heard.After the performance they assembled outside the theatre and when Mr.Barrett took his place in his carriage they unhitched the horses and drew him to the Windsor.There Mr.Barrett made a brief address, thanking the students for the compliment jand wishing them à Happy New Year.Mr.Barrett\u2019s engagement, judging by the opening day, is going to be most successful.His repertoire for the weck is: \u2018\u201cBen-My- Chree\u201d for to-night; \u2018\u201cPharoah\u201d Wednesday and Thursday; \u201cClaudian,\u201d Friday matinee and Friday evening; Saturday matinee, \u2018\u2018Pharoah;\u201d and Saturday evening \u2018\u201c\u2018Hamlet.\u201d A REAL CIRCUS ON THE STAGE.The rage for realism, so called, on the stage, has found one of its most characteristic outlets in * The Country Circus,\u201d which in two performances at the Academy yesterday afternoon and evening, entered on what is likely to bea successful week's engagement.The audience in the afternoon was not holiday-size, but there was a great house at night.Enthusiasm reigned at both periormances.What there is of drama in the piece is slow enough and painfully inartistic.It is an unsatisfactory imitation of the cheapest features of those New England dramas of which the popularity is now on the wane.There is no plot.There is not even a will, nor a mortgage, nor any other stolen paper.The characters are cominonplace and their sayings are funny only in spots.But when it comes to the circus, all the sweet, nameless wild entha- siasm of circus day returns.The advance agent is an artist who pastes bills on every available space, from the barn door to Gifted Perkins\u2019 back.He isa hurricane of enterprise, but keeps the audience awake.He does ** the advance agent\u201d act through two otherwise dreary scenes, and then he leads on his circus.A procession nearly a mile long, passes through the public square of Brockton.There are about 15 brass bands.A score of gilded chariots rattle across the stage, aud wild animal wagous and proudly cuparisoned charges, with gorgeously dressed riders, and countless attendants, give the scene a wonderful reality.In the next scene the stage is transformed into a regular circus tent, with a real ring, reat dirt, real saw dust and several real artists.These latter, whose names are, for some inscrutable reason notfoundin the bill of the play, are Mad.Venus, an agile and graceful bareback rider; the Devere family of tumblers; Signor Scaffel with trained goats and dogsandavery clevermonkey; Jas.R.Adams, the \u2018Emperor of Stilts\u201d; Little Rose, a clever tot of a trapeze artist; Mlle Herminie, a globe balancer and exhibitor of trained birds; Dashway sud Vidella, horizontal bar artists, aad George L.Woods, who shows a remarkable troupe of trained ponies.The part of the advance agent and ringmaster is well taken by Walter Gale.Ferdinand Hight as Captain Joe Glass, Arthur Howard as Gifted Perkins, Arthur V.Gibson as Doctor Swop, Miss Anna Vislaire as Savillia, Mrs.8.K.Chester as Aunt Hulda, aud Mrs, Bessie F.Hight as Silence Suow, all make the most of their small parts, ** The Country Circus \u201d is exactly what ite name implies, neither more nor less, and is a good show of its kind.It will run all week with a matinee on Wednesday, F riday and Saturday.GUS.HILL RETURNS TO THE ROYAL.Gus Hill, honorary member of the M.A, À.A., and his world of novelties, now in the tenth year of success, opened \u201ca week\u2019s engagement at the Theatre Royal yesterday afternoon.Being a holiday the crush at each performance was tremendous, and hundreds were denied admittance both at the matinee and night performances.Gus Hill always has given a good all-round variety show and his company this year is fully up to the standard.The fun begins with Leonard and Flynn, Irish comedians who are followed by Bryant and Saville, in a musical sketch.Their turn concludes with a well rendered cornet solo in E flat by Saville.Gus Hill followed with his wonderful performance with 30, 50, 75 and 115 lbs.Indian clubs, also introducing all the trick swinging known in the art of club manipulating.He is undoubtedly the finest club swinger in the world, and he backs u his reputation as such with a $10,000 challenge.The Dillon Brothers gave something new as black face artists.Their parodies on well known songs of the day \u2018\u201ctook on\u201d in great shape.They introduced their Blizzard Dance for the first time in Montreal.Estelle Wellington sings charmingly, and is a very clever daucer.Van Leer and Barton, eccentric, rough, knockabout comedians, pleased those who like that sort of thing.Baggeson, the anatomical puzzle, the human corkscrew, is a wonder.He dis.tinetly shows that the osseons portion of his structure is on hinges, as the man can almost tie himself into a knot.Harris and Walters givs » pleasing tira i songs dances and comedy.The olio conclude with the antics of the Zulu Twins.Baldwin aud Daly, in acrobatie feats, high kick.Ing, grotesque dancing, legmania, etc.They were very good.The entertainment concludes with a silly afterpiece entitled * School for Scandal.\u201d There is abselutely nothing in it.\u2019 THE LYCEUM REOPENS.The Lyceum Opera House reopened last night, under entirely new management, with the Muldoon Athletic and Specialty Company as the chief attraction.The theatre has been entirely remodelled, and no liquor is now sold on the premises.A variety program of more than usual excellence was offered.By far the most interesting part of the entertainment was that afforded by the wrestling and sparring exhibitions.The first of these was the wrestling match between Lawrence and Seichler, in which Lawrence showed superiority in various points.The event which created the most excitement, was the wrestling match between Muldoon and Roeber, in which Mul.doon, a much older man than Roeber, showed great superiority.While in a bout of fifteen minutes Muldoon shows up much better, Roeber with his strength and grit would, in a match to a finish, show far in front of Muldoon.The last event on the program was the sparring match between Dick Burge, lightweight champion of England, and Jim Hall, champion of England and Australia Pre- viows to the match the management announced that either Burge or Hall would meet all comers in their respective classes.GROSSMITH IS COMING.George Grossmith, the famous London entertainer, will appear as the Windsor Hall on the 11th aed 12th instant under the management of Messrs.Harriss and Vert.To the English citizens of Montreal there ig no need to commend Mr.Grossmith; he is as much a household word in England as is The Times.But to others it may be well to remark that George Grossmith is not only the creater of the principal roles in Gilbert and Sullivan\u2019s successful creations, but that heis to-day probably the most successful monologist in the world.To be able to entertain for two hours unaided by any one, and with only a piano as an incidental ad- junet; to keep that audience constantly in a state of good humor, and to arouse its en.thusiasin at frequent intervals, is a gift which few possess.In fact, perhaps only one man in the world is known who can da this, unaided by costumes, jugglerv, scenery or other stage accessories.That man is George Grossmith.No other word is so well suited to describe what Mr.Gross.mith doess He entertains.He is not in the ordinary accepiauce of the word an Ii.personator.He is an entertainer by the use of methods peculiarly his own.TO-DAY'S WEATHER.Strong West and Northwest Winds-Fair ana Cold Weather

downward writing of 7 ; the long vowels ; and the method of writing them In this lesson we shall consider They are not difficult, but they are of such importance that we shall confine our remarks exclusively to them, 50 as not to overburden your mind with too much at a time.The first and easier of the two is the method of writing a LONG VOWEL Jefween two consonants, and the second and most

short exercise and partly Before proceeding to do this, however, it will be necessary to point out the important difference in the position of the second-place short vowel, as compared with the second-place long vowel.* Teacher\u201d you will see that \u2018\u2018a SECOND-PLACE short vowel is written d¢fore the SECOND comsomant;\u201d whereas we learned just now that a second-place long vowel must be written always after On referring to page 14 of the Attention to this will save you much The power of the short vowels will, perhaps, be most conspicuous to the learner in the vowel-terminations of words, as: Fl laid, 1 lady, f shade, ( shady, from the very first, We exercise.Thus, \u2014j is owed, or ode ; |- is dough or doe ; and E is door ; A is aim, \u201c7° is may, and

making a distinction in the manner of writing a second-place vowel, according as it is long or short, writing it after the preceding consonant when it is LONG, and before the succeeding consonant when it is SHORT, is, that we may know whether a second-place vowel, when it is written, is long or short ôy its position, and independently of its being written heavy or light.In quick writing, or when a thick-nibbed pen is employed, the vowel signs are not always to be depended on in this respect, and therefore position must be studiously regarded, and that, too, + room, > roomy, First and third-place short vowels are written in the same places as their corresponding long vowels.only to lighten the signs for these.You have, consequently, We may now do our That part which we have left to be done by the learner himself, the writing of the shorthand words, must be done slowly and carefully and not without due deliberation as to the vowel required, and the proper place of the vowel.Additional exercises for this lesson will be Exercises 14 and 15 on page 14 of the \u201c Teacher.\u201d EXERCISE $.Long and Short Vowels, Corresponding ale ell medifed and is pronounced air,

many people must have usked themselves one time or another.Unless in patronizing conversation with a schoolboy, or a girl i nber early teens, no one would think of starting a chat by asking: \u201cHave you read Vanity Fair?How do vou like Ivanhoe?or what do you think of David Copperiield?\u201d And so we are apt to come to the conclusion that these ounce celebrated authors are going out of date like the authors oi Pamela and Rasselas.Mr.W.H.Mallock, however, comes to our aid in the Arena with an article none too dry, in which he discusses the matter from a highly optimistic point of view.Concerning the late of Thackery, to be eure, he expresses some hesitation, not to say doubt.Ile fears that the creative genius that gave birth to Becky Sharp, Colonel Newcome, Laura, and a host more, was too narrow, confined himwseli too completely to the portraiture of the lije of the upper ten, and only a limited and narrow phase of that, was ,in & word, too aristocratic ever to be widely and lastingly popular, Of Scott and Dickens, however, Mr.Mallock tells a difierent tale.He thinks that the foundation oi their lasting fame is laid in the fact of their being thoroughly national.\u201cScott,\u201d eays his friendly critic, \u201chas made it (Scotland) a country familiar to two hemispheres,\u201d and again \u201cThe imaginary events of his novel have almost taken the place of the actual events of history; and it is his novels, rather than history that make it seem an historical country.\u201d Of Dickens, again Mr.Mallock speaks ju yet warmer terms, laying much stress on the fact of the author\u2019s acquaintance with the middle classes, and sees in that an assurance of his continued popularity.In a literary sense, at any rate, Mr.Mallock is a thorough democrat, and on: cannot but feel that this has had some influence om his prophetic soul.\u201cBecky Sharp\u201d will be immortal.despite the fears and doubts of Mr.Mal- lock.Have you ever read \u201cVanity Fair,\u201d by the way?I can fancy that you are smiling.\"What do you take me for?\u201d That is what you are thinking.But still I ask agaiu, \u2018Have you read \u2018Vanity Fair?Some people\u2014a good many.indeed, want to be acked a question at least three times over, like St.Peter, before they catch the real drift of one's inquiry.Have you only read it once?Then you have but skimmed through it.Most likely it bored you and you skipped about half of it.You put down the immortal Becky as à \u2018\u2018horrid thing\u2019 without any idea of how well the character is drawn.and as for the rest, well, it was \u201creally very tiresome:\u201d for the life of you you couldu\u2019t see what there was in it.One wet day when there was positively nothing to do.and you had nothing

Health, From the old world comes the alarming announcement that cholera is again on the increase.The epidemic which stretched its bony fingers hitherward over the seas last fall and which still squats upon the nearer shores of Europe, followed the same course as those other great plagues which from time to time through several generations past have devastated the east and sorely affected the west.It sprang into being in one of the great Indian pilgrimages about four years ago, traversed Persia and Afghanistan and entered Russia.There, from the outposts of the railways, it ran across Europe with more terrible velocity than it had ever acquired in the days of slower travel.It reached the sea during the past summer, afflicted Hamburg cruelly, terrified gay Paris, frightened even sturdy England into putting her shutters up, and sent a tentacle or two across the Atlantic.The winter cold struck it where it lay and it fell asleep.Such has been its course in other times, and it is upon the similarity of the circumstances of the present epidemic to those of past plagues that the most eminent sanitarians of the day found their fear that cholera may visit this continent next summer.The deadly comma bacillus is not killed by the cold.It is simply put to sleep.In the warmth of the spring time it undergoes the process known as recrudescence, and springs again into the full possession of its hideous activity.It has happened in former epidemics that when the cholera reached the Atlantic it was checked by the advance of winter, but upon the revival of the germs in the following spring, it crossed the ocean to America.So, it is argued, will it do next spring.It is argued on the other hand that an epidemic of cholera on this continent would be an impossibility under the present circumstances.In the the old days, when the plague got a footing in America, there was no efficient quarantine and no attempt at local sani- tion.Nowadays the seaboard of both the United States and Canada is said to be so well protected by quarantine that the cholera would never be admitted to either country.It is argued further that the labors of state and provincial and Local boards of health, and of skilled sanitarians on all parts of the continent have resulted in a wide diffusion nf know- ledge of the laws of hygiene and that the cleanly and intelligent peoples of the Republic and the Dominion would run no dangers of great affliction by a disease which lias been described as a disease of fear and dirt.All this is very true, and it is improbable that the plague will again obtain a firm footing in America ; but the comparative immunity from epidemics which this continent enjoys is due to a aystem of wise precaution which must be encouraged and extended rather than retarded, and any course which tends towards the complete protection of the continent from all danger of epidemics should be carefully considered by the Governments of the two countries.Cholera knocked last fall at the gates of Great Britain, but the people of the mother land were not seriously alarmed.They had reason to be confident in the efficiency of the health officers of the Imperial Government.The United Kingdom is blessed, perhaps, with the most efficient system in the world, and on that account, during several years back, has enjoyed the greatest possible immunity from epidemics.Some such system is already sought in the United States.There is now before Congress a bill the establishment of a National quarantine.The Lill was prepared by the House sub-committee on quarantine, and provides as follows: That wherever State quarantine regulations exist the hosp!tal service of the revenue marine, under the direction of the Treasury Department, shall have the power to enforce the laws and regulations of the different States.Where there are no State quarantine rcgula- tions, or where inthe opinion of the Marine Hospital service the quarantine regu ations of the States are not sufficient to prevent the introduction of contagious diseases into the United States, the Marino Hospital service shall report the facts to the Secretary of the Treasury, who, if in his judgment it is necessary or proper, shall order the Marine Hospital service to make such additional rules and regulations as are necessary to prevent the introduction of such diseases into the United States from foreign countries or into one State from another State.In commenting upon this measure an American exchange says : It is obvious that this bill does not go far enough.What is necded isa measure which places that responsibility for the quarantine of our ports squarely and solely on the Federal Government.The law should not be permissive, but mandatory in its character.It should inolude not only New York, Philadelphia and Boston, but lesser American scaports ns well.Incomplete quarantine would be worthless.Quarantine depending for its efficacy on the co-operation of State and federal officials would result in endless disputes and complications and would prove in many cases to be absolutely valueless, In a similar manner the existence of active and efficient boards of health in the provinces, and notably in Quebec and Ontario, might complicate the difliculties that stand in the way of the establishment of a federal board of health in Canada.Bat the necessity of the creation of such a body was clearly demonstrated during the cholera scare last fall, when the Provincial Board of Health of Quebec ran foul of the Immigration Department of the Dominion in its preparations for the preservation of the health of the province.The Ontario Board, also, in the regulations which it proposed for the arresting of the plague on the Niagara frontier, was hampered by the possibility of a clash with Federal authority.The danger was and will be as imminent at Niagara Falls as at Grosse Isle.The Federal authorities are concerned alone in the maintenance of the quarantine station in the St.Lawrence, which, except upon a complete stoppage of European immigration by the American government, could not be in any sense as effective a means of preventing the admission of cholera to the Dominion as a well equipped station at the Falls.Three or four cases of cholera might be safely quarantined at Grosse Isle, while twenty thronged across the Niagara frontier from the State of New York.The Provincial boards of health have their uses; they have done good work; in any scheme of readjustment of authority, their prerogatives need not be largely altered, but the preservation of the health of the Dominion cannot be compassed by such purely local agencies.The building of a luxurious shelter for such cabin passengers as quarantined at Grosse Isle will not keep smallpox out of British Columbia or guard the Niagara frontier against the cholera.It is not probable that the constitutional act would raise any serious obstacle to the establishment of a féderal board.The work is obviously of a national nature, and should be directly under the control of the federal government.That Government has made laudable expressions of its determination to perfect its preparations for resistance to all forms of epidemic.It should not consider any thing less than a complete revision of the health laws of the Dominion.It acts at present upon the advice solely of the minister who for the term is charged with the conduct of the affairs of the Quarantine Department.The minister is advised only by the officer of the quarantine stations.No reflection is cast upon the capability of these men, but they should not take the place of a board of of the most eminent sanitarians in the land.A Splendid Scheme.The distinguished promoter, E.À.C.Pew, whose energies for several months past have been bent upon the successful manipulation of certain magnificent railway enterprises in Mexico, has been giving The Toronto News the outlines of a new and splendid scheme for the betterment of the state of the Dominion.Mr.Pew suggests that Canada and Mexico enter into a treaty of reciprocity in stoves.He says: There is a great field in Mexico just now for our stove manufacturers if they take advantage of it.Stoves are just being introduced into that country.Hitherto they have been unknown, a primitive kind of fireplace having been used for centuries instead.Sofar all the stoves that have honn introdnnad ave fram; tha may be!

Sir, \u2014T was not a little surprised in reading your leading article in this morning's issue, under the caption of \u2018 An impending Calamity,\u201d to find that it is an attack on me, offensive in tone and couched in à spirit of hostility, which, I venture to assert, 18 wholly uncalled for on the part of The Em pire, and unprovoked by anything that have either suid or done inimicul to the party, te which I think I may claim as much right, if services and devotion count for anything, to the privilege of belonging a8 any man now in public life in the Dominion.You refer to my political course as à series of \u2018\u2018 prolonged and entertaining wobbles, and suggest that I am now preparing to sever finaily iny connection with the Conservative party, with which, as you so truthfully say, I have been so long associated, by repudiating the National Policy.As to the past, the only important occasions upon which I differed from my party friends were : i 1.With reference to the Act respecting the Jesuit estates, which I thought, and stil think, ought to have been disallowed under the veto power by His Excellency the Gov- eenor-General, and I spoke and voted accordingly.2.With reference to the provisions regarding the Northwest Territories whereby the French language had been made official and put on the same basis as the English tongue, which, I endeavored, with a measure of success, to expunge from the statute book.3.The enactments as to the separate sohools in the Northwest, which I have sought, and at times aided by some of those who are now Ministers of the crown, to re- eal.P 4.I did most strenuously object and protest against the scheme of redistribution cf seats which the Government introduced last session and which, shorn it is true of some of its most objectionable features, passed into law.But is the Conservative party in favor of the Mercier Jesuit Act?df the dual system of language in the great Northwest?Of the compulsory system of separate schools umposed on the inhabitants of that part of the Dominion against the feelings and opiu- ions of nine-tenths of them?And is it only when the Reform party in the local Legislature imposes a gerrymander system that you, as an exponent of Conservative views, cau see its iniquity?I must crave leave to doubt, sir, whether the honest Conservative sentiment of this province, or of the Dominion, if Quebec be excepted, is at variance with my views upon any of these questions, and that what you are pleased to characterize as my \u2018\u2018entertaining series of wobbling,\u201d was in truth more in harmony with the feelings of the Conservative party than the line taken by those who differ from me, It is most certain that as to all these matters, with the exception of the redistribution of seats measure of \u2018last session, I had with me gentlemen who \u2018mow hold high rank in the councils of the Conservative Government.As to the future, your apparent desire to condemn me induces you to judge me in advance of my supposed offence, MightI suggest that it would at least have a greater appearance of fairness, to which uny one, much less a shareholder in your journal as I am, whose money you are spending in the dissemination of this hostile criticism, is entitled if you delayed the decree of condemnation which you made up your mind to pronounce until the attack \u201cwhich you anticipate, is delivered on the National Policy ?It is true that I did in a few words which I uttered at Mr.Parkin\u2019s meeting, held recently in this city at the Auditorium, inti- matemy view that a reduction in the tariff in favor of Great Britain would not be injurious to Canadian interests, and would be productive of much benefit, in my judgment, in developing the growing feeling in the nother country in favor of fair trade, which might lead to tariff arrangement of mutual advantage to Canada and the empire.Is that a sentiment which is looked upon as treasonable in the inouth of a Conservative?That my views on the trade question differ from those of the present Government I have no means of determining, but I am unwilling to assume in advance that the Government of Sir John Thompson is so blind to uote the signs of the times as to suppose that the National Policy is perfection, or tages that we, who were its advocates, expected from it, and that the changes which have since occurred, and are daily happening, do not require at the hands of every well-wisher of his country a consideration with an open mind of the present trade policy and relations of the Dominion, While it may be that your instructions are that the National Policy is to be upheld and that no interference with it is to be permitted, I, as you say, not havin had any part and not having been consulted in either the formation of the Government or the framning of ite policy, have not the same opportunity of reaching that conclusion; and therefore I prefer, and in this I am fortified by the advice of my friends, that I should not anticipate differences between the Goy.ernment and myself on the trade question until they are made manifest by the statement of the Government's policy, which cannot be very much longer delayed.I have the honor to be, sir, Your obedient servant, D\u2019Arrox McCartHTY, Toronto, Dec.30.The S.P.W.&C.gratefully \u2018acknowledges the following subscriptions: J.R.Dougall, E.B.(ireenshields, Robertson, Fleet & Falconer, 810 each;

members within the last week.Amongst the callers were deputations from the Montreal, Caledonia and Thistle clubs.The Thistles outdid themselves yesterday in the elaborateness of their spread.The luncheon was a rich one, and a jolly crowd Bat down to it.The proceedings were varied by songs, speeches, etc.The Caledonia, Montreal and Heather clubs also gave luncheons, and the at.tendunce at every one was large.Deputations from sister clubs visited them all.There were no matches of any importance played at auy rink during the day, but, nevertheless, hundreds of curlers enjoyed a game even if it was a scratch one.SKATING.Louis Rubenstein on Toronto Ice.Louis Rubenstein, the Canadian champion figure skater, was in town on Saturday, He said his main object in coming up was to have a whirl on Toronto bay, and in the afternoon he had a fine spin over the smooth puriace of the bay\u2019s frozen sheet.Heenjoyed the outing greatly, and performed a few fancy tigures that attracted the admiration of the by standers.Later on, he paid a visit to the Granite rink, and admired the size and excellence of the curling rink which he was especially anxious to see.He said that the curling ice wassuperior to anything in Montreal, although the skating rink could not, of course, compare with the Victoria rink.He still avers he will remain steadfast to his determination, made two months ago, uot to engage in any public contests.He is playing a little hockey now and then, and the matches are his only appearances in public on ice.He 1s very much enamored of bicycling, and is a dead gone

approval of the M.A.À.À.board of directors.ATHLETIC.Imported Athletes.Casper W.Wiitney in Harpers Weekly writes about the imporied athlete as jol- lows : .Another English athlete has returned to the land of his nativity, after having competed under the colors of an American club during his sojourn in the United States.This department has frequentiy criticised the importation of athletes, claiming it to be baneful to amateur fport, aud in the end harmful to the oi- fending club, It is well enough for us to import hackneys and hunters until We have established an American breed, but the imported athlete is & drug on the market.The home product excels It quantity, and, as a rule, in quality.Aside from the right or wrong in (he matter, it is curious the athlete managers of a club caunot see far enough ahead to realize what an extremely poor policy they are following.It should be plain to the captain of every athletic club that in these days of \u201crounders\u2019\u2019 dependence ou stars is precarious.Devoting all energy to the acquisition of a & few crack performers, and ignoring the great bulk of green material which every athletic club contains, is & very short- sichied policy.The pronounced success of Harvard in track athletics is entirely due to the able hundling and keen judgment of their trainer, James Lathrop, Who has beeu smart enough to appreciate the value of developing all the available material.The consequence is that Harvard has always two or more \u201cgood\u201d men in each event of the Intercollegiate championship programme, and not infrequently the \u201cgood\u201d man beats out the \u201ccrack.\u201d That the system is a good onc wus proved last May by the improved showing of Yale and Princeton.But aside from the mere policy of the matter, the importation of athletes sets up a harmful precedent in American athletics.That any foreign athlete, of more or less reputation, may land on our shores one day, and have some American club emblem clapped on him the next, is sickening to sportsmen and discouraging to the novice training faithfully for & place.There ought to be a iaw framed by the Amateur Athletic Union prohibiting foreign athletes from representing an American club until they had been in \u2018this country ome year.Fancy av Englishmar, who had not been in the country a month, contesting for an American championship as a member of an American club.And yet that was precisely the situation when Curtis.the English walker, corapeted in the Amateur Athletic Union championships under the colors of the Manhattan Athletie Club two years ago at St.Louis.Fortunately he did not win either of the events he entered, but the fact remains that he walked around the track with a Cherry Diamond on his chest.Curtis remained over here only a short while, not a year, I believe, during Which time his chief occupation consisted in exploiting the Cherry Diamond at all the games held in this vicinity.Having been offered no position more lucrative, he sailed for \u2018\u2018the old country,\u201d where he is engaged, it is currently reported, in putting his experience in substantial form, under the happy title of \u201cAmerica as Viewed by a Tramp Athlete,\u201d or \u201cWhere Was I At?\u201d The largest jobber in the imported article has been the Manhattan Athletic Club, and its experience in handling British goods is large and instructive.With hardly a single exception, every one of the Euglishmen who have crossed the Atlantic to wear ite emblem has torn himself from the allurements of the metropolis and sailed home again.It would take too much space to go into details, and my one object here is to draw a moral from the lesson.What substantial gain does any club achieve by the few points some foreign athlete may place to its credit during his bondage?Would not the same amount of time and money spent on developing home material result in & more permanent athletic blessing ?There is no doubt that every club which has yielded to the blandishments of the newly imported article has done more harm than good.The New York Athletic Club\u2019s experience a few years ago with Barry will probably last it a lifetime.Amateur athletics are none too healthful to-day, outside of the colleges, and it behooves clubs to look alive.Give us more of the American athlete; he is the best in the world to-day.TURF.To-day\u2019s Entries at Guttenburg.New York, Jan.2.\u2014 The following are the entries for to-morrow\u2019s races at Guttenburg: First race, 1 mile, for beaten horses.Prince Howard.122

Doble Has a Pair of Record Holders.New York, Jan.2.\u2014The intelligence that Stamboul, 2.073, the king of trotting stallions, had been sent to Budd Doble, and had safely arrived and been housed next door to Queen Nancy Hanks at Terre Haute, was a surprise to New York horsemen, who thought that Mr.Harriman, who had announced his intention of breeding the horse to a few mares in Orange county, would keep him at home until spring at least.Doble will undoubtedly give the great son of Sultan a vast amount of attention next season, and he will, no doubt, make every cffort to keep the double record in his stable.He will have formidable opponents in Martha Wilkes and Kremlin, and Nancy Hanks and Stamboul must needs be at their best to hold their own.The well- known driver, Ed Bither, who drove Jay Kye See and Phallas in their best days, says that Kremlin is a better-gaited horse than either of the sous of Dictator named above, and he is confident that 2.05 will not stop the son of Lord Russell this year.Bither, by the way, does not believe that the pneumatic-tired sulky was in itself responsible for the great reductions in time in 1892.He thinks that Kremlin can pull an old-fashioned, high-wheel sulky over any of the geod mile tracks in 2.07 or better some time during the present year.It would be interesting to have the trial made, and as Mr.Wiggin, the owner of Martha Wilkes, has expressed his willingness to send the daughter of Alcyone to Cleveland and start her under the same conditions as attended the effort of Maud S.when Harold\u2019s splendid daughter took her record of 2.08%, the matter will probably be settled for good and all before next September.Bither thinks that track building has played no small part in the improvement of speed, BASEBALL.Boston Signs Catcher Lake.Boston, Mass., Jan.2.\u2014This morning at President Soden\u2019s office Catcher Fred Lake signed a contract to play with the Boston League team for the season of 1893.Lake was à member of the Boston team two sea- MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, sons ago, but was released after a fair trial.Last season Lake played with Milwaukee and Kansas City, of the Western League, and showed much improvement, especially in batting.The signing of Lake means the release of one of the three men who caught for Boston last season.Gauzell is sure of remaining, so that either Bennett or Kelly will be missed from the champions next season.Lake is a cheap man, while the other catch- ersunder reservation are all high-priced men, with big reputations.Lake reccived one month\u2019s salary in advance.THE RING.Charge of Crookedness About the Burge Fight.New York, Jan.2.\u2014Judge Newton, of the Coney Island Athletic club, was very indignant yesterday over Manager Benton's statement, blaming him for the failure of \u201cDick\u201d Burge to make a match with \u2018\u201cJack \u201d McAuliffe.Newton emphatically denied the imputation aud said : \u2018Burge is to blame.He cannot hight below 140 pounds.The reason I declared the match off was because of crookedness on the part of the Burge party.As near as I can get at the facts in the matter Burge had agreed to lay down for McAuliffe in a certain round, and his backers were to bet on him that way.This game was to have been worked, I understand, if McAuliffe agreed to fight at 133 pounds.If the weight was made at 138 pounds, Burge was to do his level best to win.McAuliffe was not a party to the deal.McDonald, Burge\u2019s trainer, knows more about the matter than anybody else out of Burge.He holds a certain paper which expluins the situation thoroughly, and if Burge refuses to make up with him he may make its contents public.At any rate, the Coney Island Athletic Club would have got the worst of the deal.We are not promoting \u2018fake\u2019 fights and for that reason we refuse to have anything whatever to do with the Burge-McAulifle contest.They Are in Town.Dick Burge, lightweight champion of England, is with Wm, Muldoon's Athletic and Specialty Company at the Lyceum this week and will be seen at every performance in conjunction with Jim Hall, the champion of England and Australia.HOCKEY.The Game Inaugurated at Ottawa.Ottawa, Jan.2.\u2014The hockey season was inaugurated here in good state this morning by teams composed of the first and second Ottawas.The seniors played their back division with the seconds\u2019 forwards, and a splendid match was the result, both sides having scored a goal at the end of the hour's play.Russell, Young and the Kirby brothers showed to advantage as usual, their forward play being very effective.The teams were as follows : Seniors.Juniors.Neove.\u2026\u2026\u2026.\u2026\u2026\u2026.Goal.Chittick Russell.Point.Birkett Young.Cover point Grant Kavanag

hockey players were busy at the Granite rink yesterday morning, In spite of the change in the weather, the ice was good and the spectators were many and enthusiastic.The first was between the champions of Toronto and Montreal Bank leagues, the Imperials representing Toronto and the Bank of Montreal the city by the St.Lawrence.The teams were : Bank of Montreal, Montreal goal, S.Wood ; Point, C.Thompson ; cover point, C.D.Robbins; forwards, T.H.Pressick, a.S.Lowe, (Capt.) G.C.Smith, R.Wal- ace.Imperial Bank, Toronto, goal, E.A.Chadwick; point, T.8.Merritt; cover point, P.H.Darrell; forwards, N.Patterson, A.G.Langtrey, G.Brown, A.Creelman, (Capt.) Referee, Mr.A.H, Kerr.The visitors had the best of the play in the second half, but were hard pressed in the first, when Creelman scored once for the home team, but the Montrealers put the puck through twice.In the second half they added four more, while the Imperials got none, Montreal thus winning 6 goals to 1.The scorers for Montreal were Smith, 2 ; Lowe, 3 ; and Wallace,/Chadwick and Lowe, who is a well known cyclist, were conspicuous for good play.In the second match, for which Mr.Kerr was also referee, the Toronto branch of the Bank of Commerce turned the tables on the Montrealers, defeating the visiting team representing the Montreal branch, by the fine score of 12 goals to none.Eight times in the first did the local men score, and half as many times in the second.Henderson put the puck through six times, Hedley twice, Montgomery twice and Gordon and Stevenson once each.The Toronto men played a strong game all through and were rewarded with enthusiastic cheers.The teams were : Toronto, B.of C., H.E.Sowell, goal; A.Rideout, point; T.L Stevenson, coverpoint; W.Henderson, J.Hedley, H.P.Gordon, C.Montgomery, forwards.Montreal B.of C., S.Burrel, goal:

Money Will Be Drawn From Circulation and May Invite a Panie.Will the United States tax on whiskey be increased ?If increased will the new rate apply to stocks now in bond ?Can the business of the United States stand the enormous drain of $200.000,000 such a policy would entail ?These questions are agitating not alone the whiskey trade, but business and political circles.It is no longer a question whether the Whiskey Trust is at the bottom of the movement for an increase of the tax from 90 cents to 21.25 a gallon or whether that combination would reap the lion\u2019s share of the profits from the increase.The point is made now that such an increase would tend to draw an enormous sum of money from immediate circulation, provided the government reaped the benefits, or would throw an equally enormous sum into the hands of speculators without any immediate Lenefit to the government.It all depends on the shaping of the bill that shall ultimately become a law.The proposition to increase the tax is made ostensibly for the relief of the Federal Treasury.It is contende® that at the end: of the present fiscal year there will be a deficit in the Treasury of $20,000,000 to S25,- 000,000.This deficit may be increased materially during the ensuing year by tariff revision.Therefore it is that the increase of the whisky tax is proposed.It is argued further that the present annual consumption of whiskey in the United States is 100,000,000 gallons, yielding, at the present rate of tax, $90,000,000, or should the tax be increased to $1.25, it would yield $125,000,000, or an increase of $35,000,000, a sum only a little more than |.the estimated deficiency of this year, and considerably less than that of next year.Hence it 18 contended that the proposed in- crense is absolutely necessary, and the only apparent present means of relief.That argument carries with it the supposition that the Scott bill, now pending in Thatis a query on which lawyers, states men and whiskey dealers differ strongly.WHAT THE FIGURES SHOW.The bill purpotts to be an amendment to the existing Internal Revenue law.That law fixes the tax on distilled spirits at ninety cents per gallon.When it was passed it was made to take effect at a date in the then future which enabled holders to withdraw their goods from bond at the pending rate.he Scott bill merely amends that law by striking out the fixed rate of ninet cents a gallon and substituting $1.25.Whether that would apply to stocks now in bond is the question.According to the Commissioner of Internal revenue, the annual consumption of whiskey in this country is 100,000,000 gallons.\"By the same authority, the production of whiskey during the fiscal year ending with last June was 112,812,723 gallons, or nearly 13 million gallons more than the consumption.At the same time there was in bond on June 30 last 127,596,339 gallons, or 27,506,339 ore than a year's requirement.It is estimated by Bonfant's Circular, an authority in the whiskey trade, that the stocks of whiskey in sight on October 1 last were 169,204 341.This shows stocks in bond and duty paid equal to nearly two years\u2019 supply.II that in bond, which is estimated at 119,421,599 gallons, should be withdrawn and the tax paid at the present rate, there would be no necessity for the payment of tax on a single gallon, at the proposed increased rate, within less than twenty-one months at least, though consumers would be required to pay an incrensed price for their whiskey fully equal to the increased tax.To make that plainer, the increased tax on this 169,204.341 gallons now in existence would repre- sens $59,253,019.35, every penuy of which would go into the pockets of the present holders and speculators, and not one penny of it into the Treasury.It is estimated that 119,421,599 gallons of this visible supply is now in hand.If that can be withdrawn at the existing tax rate of 80 cents a gallon it will yield the Government $107,499,789.10.Then if the tax is increased to $1.25 it would add 35 ceuts a gallon to its market value, or $41,797,559.65, all of which would be clear profit to the holders.This shows something of the immense sums involved inthe 1ssue.AN OPERATOR'S ESTIMATE.The whisky business is peculiar in more ways than one and one peculiarity is that the better the stuff is the less readily can it manipulated through legislative action.thus the high grade whiskies are, as a general rule, honestly made and require from threeto five yearstomature for use.Then there are other grades the foundation for which is the raw spirits the Whisky Trust makes, which are doctored up with a little flavoring and coloring, hastily rectified, and go into the market as ordinary whisky, réquiring only a few monthsto mature.Then, too, there isa modern process called \u201ccontinuous distillation,\u201d which produces what passes for whiskey in a very short time.Finally, Kentucky turns out a vast quantity of what is known commercially as \u2018\u2018quick aging\u201d whiskey, which finds its way to the drinking bar in an incredibly brief time after it leaves the distillery.I have before me an estimate made by a Broadway operator of the visible stocks, divided according to these 1ecognized differences of character as follows :\u2014 25000 000 High grade Eastern goods.,000, High Blade Kentucky goods.coe 10,000,000 Low grade Kentucky goods.70,000,000 Spirit grade (unfinished) good.000, Total.158,000,000 There are, of course, rough estimates, and as will be seen these vary from the gross amount as estimated by Bonfant\u2019s Circular by about 10,000,000 gallons.But while it is an estimate, approved by a large number of dealers to whom I submitted it, F.O.Boyd, manager of the National Export and Warehouse Company, while agrecing in the sum total, differs radically on the distribution of the goods, especially the Kentucky product.e nearly reverses these figures, making the high grade supply 65,000,000 gallons and the low grade, including quick aging and continuous goods, but 15,000,000.The point of this difference will be apparent by remembering that the high grade goods require from three to five years to mature, while the others can be almost.immediately put on the market.BIG PROFITS.The estimate shows then, according to the table, 38,000,000 gallons not affected immediately by the operation of the proposed amendment to the tax law, or rather which cannot be immediately benefited by its operation, and 120,000.000 that are subject to speculation.Or, if Mr.Boyd's estimate is preferred, the speculative stock is only 65,000,000 gallons.At the gre~ter estimate the increased value to be put on the goods by the passage of the Scott bill would be $42,000,000, and at the lower estimate $22,750,000.Either would be a pretty respectable prize to work for, and would afford a reasonable sum for Congressional manipulation.VAST SUMS REQUIRED.It is probably true that the trust as an organization has bought no whiskey, but the men who manage and control it have been the large speculative buyers in the last few weeks, and now hold enormous quantities of the visible supply of low grade goods, as well as contracts for the delivery of the bulk of that which can be manufactured before next July, when they calculate that the amended law will take effect.I have an estimate that it will require no less than $200,000,000 to pay for this whiskey and the tax on it to evade the proposed increased tax and reap the profits of the increase in price.This vast sum of money must be taken from the ordinary channels of business to work out this gigantic speculation, and I am asked if the business community realizes what this means.- -New York

mankind to a common brotherhood of unity and Christian charity, you have chosen, as a Methodist, to intercept the message of love and to raise your solitary note of discord in the prevailing harmony of Christ- mas-tide, by an appeal to religious prejudices directed against the public career and the character of Her Majesty's First Miuis- ter of Canada.And why?Disguise it as you will, the sole motive of your diatribe is that the resent First Minister isa Roman Catholic.f that be not the motive, answer me, ye winter winds, what other earthly motive can there be for this disturbing appeal?Let us exninine some of the ressons you âllege against Sir John Thompson\u2019s accession to the office of Prime Minister, and try and reach an intelligent conclusion.Soine of the truisms you indulge in are scurcely worthy of comment.\u2018\u201cThe greatness of a statesman is authenticated by his achievements.\u201d This sentence you illustrate » by several references to English and Canadian political history\u2014Burke, Pitt, Carning, and Sir John Macdonald \u2014all these were great in the light of their achicvements\u2014so you say.And you draw an adverse inference against Sir John Thompson because he has hitherto, in vour opinion, achieved nothing.Well, opinions differ,and I think that most Canadians will agree that the success pe has achieved has been achieved by success.ut assuming that he has as yet achieved no great political effects, what bearing have your references to English and Canadian politicians of the past?No bearing whatever.All the men you cite have been leaders of parties.Sir John Thompson has only just now been invested with leadership, and therefore he has never had the opportunities or power of leadership, and logically your a priori argument hes no basis to rest upon.Next, reverend sir, you have attempted to create prejudices und arouse passion agoinst the first minister, owiug to the criminal code which he introduced and helped to place upon the statute book.A more partisan aud unfounded indict ment could scarcely be imagined.Let me inform vou that that criminal code is merely borrowed from England\u2014substantially it is à consolidation of English criminal law and in several respects it is a distinct advance upon that law.The law of abduction if it do contain the defects you attribute to it, is the creation English statesman and jurists\u2014the same that was in force when Burke and Pitt { and Canning and Palmerston successively exercised their influence upon British legislation\u2014and you eanuot indict Sir John Thompson for the defects of the code on this subject without at the same time impeaching the statesmanship and wisdom of British legislators and jurists of the past\u2014the great men whom the world honors, and whom you, yourself, seem inclined to look upon with admiration.Equally unfounded is your attempt to fix upon Sir Johu Thompson the sole responsibility for the expenditures in the public service, an for the fiscal policy of the country.These were a part of the political system before 8ir John entered public life.Whether they be justifiable or not, you cannot impeach him for them without at the same time attacking the Canadian electorate at large, who have solemnly and emphatically en- | dorsed these matters at the polls.How ARE WE © AES ENE AEE.STE.AIRS TE = OS TIEIE a \u2014\u2014 of \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 unfair, is it not, to single out Sir John for respousibility, when the truth is that such responsibility must be divided among the J electors in general?Aud the unfairness of | your attack in this respect becomes more evident, when 1t is considered that Sir John \u201c has not yet met his first parliament since his elevation to the premiership.Reverend sir, you are not judging, you are prejudging the man.Let .us, Reverend Sir, now come down to the main question\u2014for, after all, your prevailing objection to Sir John arises from hisreligion \u2014this is the real motive of the diatribe.Your professions of toleration in one sentence are unmasked in another sentence by contradictions so obvious that no one can be deceived by them.Jesuitism, Roman Catholicism, clerical power\u2014thesefamiliarthemesof the partisan, are drummed up for service.When every argument fails, we must be content to have these topics eternally flung in our faces.Like the goblins who are invoked to terrify little children, these things are used to frighten and intimidate, You tell us a beautiful legend about the Roman Catholic Bishops, and the improper influence that they exerted at a former general election\u2014that a treaty was actually made between them and the Conservative sparty.You state that you received assurance of this fact, at the time, from the lips of a great Conservative leader.Are we to understand, sir, that you approved of this alleged treaty ?If not how comes it that you remained silent so long\u2014 that, knowing of it, you never lifted up your voice asa protector of the country, against this political crime during these long years ?I don\u2019t propose to enter into any discussion relating to this matter and will merely say that uniil you have given to the public the name of that great Conservative leader who took you into his confidence, you can.Dot expect aby answer at the hands of a Roman Catholic.But there is a more general question that I will discuss without hesitation In referring to the esteemed prelates of the Catholic religion in Canada, you make use of this Janguage : \u201c\u201c When men hold the power of absolution that shuts heaven and opens the portals of a retributive immortality, all realistic to the minds of uneducated credulity, you are vonfrorted with a factor that is ®t war with every responsible goverament.\u201d Thanks, Reverend Sir, for the phrase, *\u2018uneducated credulity.\u201d 1t is, however, not original with you; we've been accustomed to it; it has done duty in the past in poli- tico-religious polemics; it has proved a potent engine to raise the prejudices of men.Above all things its chief use has been to cast reproach upon the religion of Roman Catholics.It is used as a term of stigma, and generally by men who should not use it, But it should never emanate from an intelligent man like you, Reverend sir, whose training and environments should have taught you to shun its use.What do you mean, Reverend sir, by reproaching the Boman Catholicelectorateby wholesale in this manner?\u201c\u201cUneducatedcredulity\u201disanimpud- : ent phrase when applied to them.Take them man for man and you will find Roman Catholics just as educated and free from unreasoning credulity as the members of any other religious denomination in this country.Reverend Sir, I will not imitate your example.I will not cast epithets at the Protestant community as you have done to the Roman Catholic.\u201d I recognize the general liberality, intelligence, ability, and honor of the Protestant citizens of Canada.I spent the first years of my life wholly among Protestants, chiefly among Methodists.My birthplace, \u2018the village of Appleton, did not contain any Catholic fanaly except ours.Yet my father and his family always lived on terms of the clozest friendship with their neighbors.When sickness or trouble came to any of the villagers they vied with each other in performing acts of kinduess and affection.They trusted one another and did not stop to enquire into questions of creed.Reverend Sir, this was the Methodism that I became familiar with in boyhood, a wide, liberal, generous Methodism which has a heart large enough to sympathize, in Christian charity, with all other creeds, whieh has friendship for all and enmity to none.I have reason to believe that that same Methodism yet prevails in Canada, and will continue to pravail here, and I hope, Reverend Sir, that your will yet learn to trust Roman Catholics, whether they be ministers of the Gospel or laymen, it the same broad spirit of confidence.Confi£=nce honor to be Yours sincerely, Epwarp MaHox.Ottawa, December 28, 1892, Mr.T.W.Russell, M.P.To the Editor of The Herald : Sir,\u2014Will you permit one of your readers to express his surprise at your briei editorial of to-day in which you sate that, Mr.T.W.Kussell, M, P.for Mid- Tyrone, Ireland, caunot be regarded as a Liberal but must be considered a Tory.Surely a man can be a Liberal without being a Gladstonian.The Liberal party existed when Mr.Gladstone was wasquer- ading as a high Tory, and it is going a little too far to say that because Mr.T.W.Russell could uot swallow the convictions of a lije-time as readily as Mr.Gladstone did his, that he has ior.eited bis right to be regarded as a Liberal.Mr.Russell's views are to-day precisely what they were in 1883 when he was selected to carry Mr.Gladstone's banner in a Lancashire coustiturney.At tuat time the United Liberal parity went to the country in opposition to Home Itule and if unyone had suggested that Mr.Gladstone was nursing a Home Rule scheme in his brain it would have been scouted us a malignant Tory slander.Mr.Parnell, prior to the election issued a manifesto to the Irish electors in Great Britain calling upon them to cast their votes against the Liberal candidates.Mr.Gladstone stood upon the hustings at Mid-Lothian and begged the country to giwe him a majority that would render him independent of the Parnellites, because, he said, if the Liberal party after the elections found itself in the position that it would be in, Mr.Parnell\u2019s power to say \u2018unless you do this and unless you do that, we will turn you out to-morrow.\u201d Ile thought that the Liberal party could not be trusted to do what was right.Sir William Harcourt, whom Lord Salisbur has named the \u201cFalstaïf of English poli\u201d tics,\u201d employed his vituperative powers to their utmost in denouacing the Tory party, because he suspected that it was coquetting with Mr.Parnell.The elec- tious proved that Mr.Gladstone\u2019s fears were well founded.Mr.Parnell was in a position to dictate terms to the Liberal party.And the bulk of the Liberal party showed that Mr.Gladstone was a true prophet when he declared that under certain conditions it could not be trusted.The men who in November went to the country bitterly hostile to Home Rule, who denounced Mr.Parnell and his party from every platform, were in the following April asked to stultiiy them- sélves and vote for Home Rule.The bill was sprung upon the country without even the members of the Liberal party being consulted.Mr.Gladstone thought that he should be regarded as a political Pope, and that the members of his party should not think for themselves, but be prepared to support any proposal no matter how wrong or fantastic, that might issue from his brain.The bulk of the Liberal party, in obedience to the word of command, turned their backs upon all their previous opinions and convictions and accepted Mr.Parnell as an ally and a leader.But the men who were the cream of the Liberal party, who had given it power and prestige, who had been the backbone of Mr.Gladstone\u2019s previous Administrations refuse to stifle their convictions at the bidding of any man, and voted against the Home Rule bill.The Liberal Unionists, of which Mr.Russell is so prominent a member, form the true Liberul party.Their views are the views held by every great Liberal statesman since the Act of Union was passed, and more than that they are the views held by Mr.Gladstone himself up to the time he was 77 Years old.Therefore unless you lay down the proposition that Mr.Gladstone is the fount of Liberalism and that no man can be a Liberal unless he is prepared to say yea even if Mr.Gladstone were to assert that London was the capital of France, I fail to see on what grounds You can refuse to comsider Mr.Russell a Liberal or a Radical.The measures he has supported in Parliament have certainly been such as Mr.Gladstone him- el a few years ago would have considered a little too advanced.As for your point that Mr.Russell is advocating rebellion in Ulster, it seems to me that you are scarcely air to Mr.Russell.What he says is that knowing the plantation counties as he does, he is sure that they will never submit to a Land League Parliament.It seems to me that it is the duty of a statesman to point out danger when he sees it ahead, and to endeavour to avoid it.It would be just As reasonable to find fault with a sailor on the lookout who gives warning that there are breakers ahead, as to find fault with Mr.Russell because he states that Home Rule will produce civil war.ULSTER.Ottawa, Ont., 31st Dec, 1892.A LITTLE KIPLING.The Story Writer and Poet the Father of a Yankee Baby Girl.Brattleboro, Vt., Jan.1.\u2014A daughter was born late on Thursday afternoon to Mrs.Rudyard Kipling, wife of the well- known Eugiish writer, who is spending the winter here with his wife\u2019s relatives.The family residence of the Balestiers, Beachwood, and the Bliss honicstead are located about four miles north of the village, on rising ground commanding a long stretch of Connecticut river scenery, the mountain opposite, and the terraced village sloping aown to the rver.Kip- Ning is having a $10,000 house built in wis lovely spot, which will be named \u201cCrow\u2019s Nest.\u201d Meunwhile he is living in the little white-painted storcy-and-a- half cottage built for the farmer on ile Bliss estate.Mrs.Kipling was Miss Carolyn Bale- stier, a sister of C.Wolcott Balestier, the writer who died abroad recently, and who wrote in collaboration with Ar.Kipling.She is a little under modi- um height, slender and petite, and has dark brown eyes and dark hair.The arrival of Miss Kipling on the scene explains the much-discussed question of wby Kipling abaudoued his trip to Samos and other Pacific islauds, which was attributed to the loss of a large sum of mouey by the failure of à bank.Mrs.and Miss Kipling are both doing well.COLD DAY FOR THE COMPANIES, Judge Macdougall Makes Large Increases in Confederation and North American Assessments, Saturday was a cold day for the insurance companics.The companies in question were the Confederation Life and the North American Life.The Assessment Department assosseé the Conicduration Life $150,000 on in:ome, ard the company appealed to have it reduced to $15,000.The income ci the North American was assessed at $6,000, and this at th erequest of Assessment Commissioner Maughan was raised to $50,000 by the Court of Revision.Both assessments were then taken to the County Judge, and Saturday, Judge Macdougall gav ehis decision in both cases.The assessment of the Confedera- tien Life was raised to $168,000 and the North American to $52,000.À large force of men- were at work on Saturday laying out the river road to Longueuil, \u2018ronto.The Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company, which is the coal department of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, has broken away from the Reading combine and decide to handle and sell its own coal, beginning with the New Year.This is important news; good news for ull who buy coal.It means a falling out among those who have recently banded themselves together to maintain a crucl monopoly.That means competition, and a probability that in the not tar distant future lower prices will prevail.* This 1s the present that comes with the new year to shivering thousands all over the East.When coal barons fall out poor people bave & chance of getting warm.Now notice the chain of events that has led up to the disagrecment between the monopolists.The Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company severs relations with the Reading company on account of decisions in the New Jersey courts regarding the legality of the deal.The litigation wus the direct result of public indignation, which was the fruit of many articles on the subject printed in the New York Herald, which educated and stimulated those most concerned intoa clear and aggressive conception of their rights, THE FORMAL NOTICE.I called at the office of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company yesterday after- hoon and had a talk with Vice-President Williams about the situation.Mr.Wil.lias showed me the following statement, just issued, which will be posted in various places where the operations of the company are carried on :\u2014 NEW YORK, Dec.31, 1832.Taking effect January 1, 1893, the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company resume possession of the wharves, depot and yards formerly controlled by ii, and having purchased of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Comn- pany all stock situated thercon has resulted the sale of its coal under the foilowing organiza- Mr.P.B.Hellner, generalsales agent, at No.143 Liberty street ; Mr, L.A.Powerson, sssis- tant-general sales agent, at No.143 Aberty street, Mr.W.R.Bachelder, Eastern agent, at No, 125 Milk street, Boston, Mass.; Mr.J.E.Flemin, , Newark agent, at No.48 Congress streei, Newark, J.HK.MAXWELL, president, Tasked Mr.Williams what was the cause of this change of base.\u201cIt has been induced,\u201d he replied, \u201cpartly by the legal complications aud portly by the new arrangement of the eading Company with the Finance Company of Philadelphia, by which the latter bandles Reading coal.There are many reasons why we prefer to finance our own operations.\u201d But was not the Lehigh and Wilkes- barre Coal Company bound to the Reading Company in the previous arrangement by a long term contract ?\u201d \u2018Undoubtedly such a contract was made when the Reading company leased the Central Railroud of New Jersey.But the New Jersey court says that sich a lease was llega , and hence the contract is null and void.THE PROSPECT FOR CONSUMERS.*\u2018What is the annual coal output of your company ?\u201d *\u20181t amounts to about three million tons, but a large part of this has been kept back from reaching Eastern markets by the Reading company.We shall now be free to mine and ship as much coal as we please.\u201d *\u2018Is this break with the Reading company likely to result in a fall in the price of coal per ton?\u201d Mr.Williams hesitated before replying: \u201cI don\u2019t think it is;I certainly hope it is not.You see, with the vast expenses for machinery, etc,, and the constantly increasing difficulty of extracting the coal there is not much money in our business, People make à great mistake in believing the contrary.No, I dow\u2019t think the price of coal is going to be materially affected.This year the competition of the Lackawanna and Delaware and Hudson coal companies did not prevent the Reading company from foraing up the market price of coal.They simply followed the rise and profited by it.We will do the same.\u201d Proposal to Introduce the Kangeroo, Some far Western and Southwestern newspapers arc seriously discussing the desirability and possibility of introducing the kangaroo into those regions, Much is urged as to its utility, because nt its economie value in \u2018flesh, fur, and foot wear,\u201d and some little about the novel sport it would aflord, taking in this particular the place of the defunct buffalo, It is said the kangaroo would do well in regions altogether unfit for other stock.Some say it would be more profitable to raise kangaroos than steers, Mr.Robert C.Auld appears to have been iirst to suggest the scheme, Ostriches, he says, are a big success in California, and he thinks kangaroos would be more widely profitable.\u2014 TBAVEL BY THE \u2014 REIL Se NEW TOURIST CARS WHICH NOW LEAVE MONTREAL A8 FOLLOWS: on THURSDAYS and FRIDAYS - TUESDAYS for BOSTON and NEW ENGLAND, TORONTO, Detroit, Chicago,

During the Year.The year 1892 closes with a record of events of more than usual importance to the investment interests of the country.It has witnessed a culmination of public opinion upon a monetary question of the deepest significance, not only to the United States, but also to the civilized population of the world at large.After centuries of the joint use of gold and silver upon a fairly even parity of value, it has become a world-wide question whether the use of silver shall be abandoned, or broad international arrangements shall be established for giving that metal stability of value and perpetuating its use as a form of lawful money coordinate with gold.Such a crisis has been threatening to the existing currency arrangements of every nation; and so far as it affects monetary systems, it equally concerns vested interests, outstanding obligations of every kind, and commercial values the world over; and especially does it concern the delicate relations between the debtor and creditor classes.In the United States the problem is espccially urgent; for we have, within late years, committed ourselves to the fate of silver by incorporating the metal into our currency system to the extent of several hundreds of millions of dollars.Satisfied that there is no way of reaching a permanent settlement of this question except through a common international agreement, our government this year procured the assembling of a congress of the nations, to formally consider the problem.After a free interchange of views and the discussion of certain proposals, the conference adjourned without accomplishing any definite result, but to re-convene in the spring of 1893.Taking an impartial review of the work of that body, we are driven to the conclusion that, although the subject may receive further earnest discussion between the several governments, yet the jealousies and prejudices surrounding the case are so formidable,and he theoretical and working differences so great,that it seems virtually hopeless to expect the concessions and the commitments from the various powers that are indispensable to a sound and lasting international settlement of the question.Thus the end of the year finds this country confronted with the question\u2014 how best to take care of ourselves under the circumstances ; and with no more effective means of protection than that of suspending, temporarily at least, further addition to our stock of silver.* On the last day of 1892, therefore, there is no question that more seriously occupies public attention than this one\u2014will Congress be found willing to thus act?This isreally the most important problem that we have to carry over into the New Year; and yec we may hope that our legislators will not fail to enact the explicitly declared verdict of the late election on this issue.So far, therefore, as respects our own country, the symptoms indicate, however, that the ominous silver-cloud of danger may soon disappear from the horizon.Next in importance among the events of the year, is the emphatic demand for a change of commercial policy asserted by the result of the Novemberelection.That verdict was hardly unexpected, and therefore its coming has excited less interest than might have been expected.Not the less, however, is the foreshadowed change one of vast importance.For the last thirty years, our natural development has followed the direction of lines drawn and made effective through legal enactments.The effect of these enactments has been to establish in this country a higher range of prices and a higher scale of wages than have existed in any other country, and also to place, in a certain sense, an artificial valuation upon a large portion of our national wealth, The policy to be executed by the new Congress and Administration aims at the revival of the process that has been in force during the past generation.Itaimsat lower prices wnd therefore correspondingly lower wages ; snd it consequently means lower valuations for whatever is produced, bought or sold, or held.It remains to be seen to what degree these changes of values may be enforced, and whether it will be decided to make the full change at one stroke or through more gradual approaches.It is to be hoped that the latter course may be adopted ; but in any case the character of the effects must be the same\u2014to reduce values.Wall street will understand how to interpret such a change; but it is not likely to all into the mistake of discounting the effects too early in advance, For the change Is a very complex one, and will not be without its counteractions and ameliorations, which call for cool watching rather than precipitate action.Among such ameliora- tions, these deserve due weight: That, if manufacturers are embarrassed by a fall in prices, they will find remedy in themselves, reducing wages and in getting raw material cheaper ; that, if labor receives lower cash wages, the expenses of living will at the same time be correspondingly reduced; that, if the income from some investments should be reduced, the reduced income would have purchasing power equal to that possessed by the former high income; and that, if some few industries wil be exposed to suffer in consequence of their lack of natural advantages, many more will be benefited through lower prices opening to them foreign markets from which they have been excluded, But with every disposition to put a lenient and fair construction upon this industrial revolution, it is not to be concealed that the stage of its introduction must be attended with some disturbance of business and with losses to certain interests; while the ultimate outworkings of the sweeping change must await the uncertain verdict of experience, Another important feature in the financial movements of 1892 has been the largeness of our exports of gold, which is all the more significant as following the preceding year of à large like outflow.In the case of each of the two years, the trade balance has been so largely in our favor that æ net import rather than large net export of specie tight have been expected.The facts as they stand, however, are to be explain d only on the supposition, confirmed by observation, that very unusually large amounts of our securities have been returned from Europe: and that occurrence finds its explanation in our silver policy having raised aistrust as to whether our investinents may not become payable in that form of money.Mach must depend on whether 1893 provides a remedy for that distrust by suspending the Sherman Silver Act.So far as respects railroad investments, 1892 has been an uneventful but on the whole very satisfactory year.The creations of new line have been upon a strictly conservative basis, nor is there in any direce tion any symptom of forthcoming speculs- tiveenterprises.The earnings have at least: kept up to the usual average rate of progress, so that dividends have been maintained.There has been no reaction from the tendency towards substituting sound business principles of management for speculative methods, which has characterized our great railroad systems during recent years It is also satiafactory to note that there has been some abatement of obatructive interference from legislation.Decisions have been rendered against powers claimed by the Inter .State Commissioners, which suggest future check upon intervention from that source; and similarly the law has, in important respects, restricted the assumptions of State Legislatures as to their powers over common carriers.In some quarters, an unwelcome symptom has appeared in the creation of consolidations designed to create monopolies manifestly hostile to the public interest; but the reception awarded to these aggres- sions by the courts and the public is not calculated to encourage future like attempts.Under all the circumstances, although the ship of affairs has encountered some perilous weather in 1892, yet she enters on the voyage of 1893 with fairer skies and with prospects of smoother sailing for the port of 1894.Canadian Securities in London.The Canadian [Gazette of the 22th ult.has the following : As

markets, consiguments amounting up to date to no fewer than 100 tous, and comprising about 20,000 birds, have been landed at the port of Liverpool alone during the past few days.The first consignment of the season consisted of sixty tous, and was shipped by Messrs.Sanders & Soule, of Kempt- ville, Chesterville, and Morrisburg, Ontario, The birds, numbering some 12,000, arrived in splendid condition, and were despatched to various centres in the North of England, and some were forwarded to Messrs.Thomas Borth- wick & Co., of Simthfield market, London, where, with later consignments, they are now being sold both wholesale and retail.The Allan Line steamer Sardinian and the Cunard steamer Aurania brought forty further tons; and so far as can be ascertained at present there will be between 40,000 and 50,000 Canadian turkeys lauded in Liverpool and Glasgow during the present 8easol.It is gratifying to learn that in the majority of cases shippers have profited by the advice given them in the Dominiun Government bulletin based upon the advice of the High Commissioner and the Dominion Government agents in this country.A few small lots of both turkeys and geese were LA MONTAGNE,

Canadian Gazette on Tuesday, made special complaint of the geese in this respect.They were, he said, not quite up to the mark, and Canadian shippers should clearly understand that they should not be plucked.As a whole, however, the consignments have arrived in excellent condition, and are of ver ood quality, comparing favorably with English birds.The price quoted by Mr.Borthwick is about 64d.or 7d.per lb.Last year many of the consignees buried the heads of the birds under the wings, but this year the packing shows much improvement in most cuses, the heads being packed iu paper.nquiries made during the present week show that there is a strong feeling in the trade that Canada may with ease develop a highly profitable market here.Two things, however, are essential.In the first place, as is suggested above, strict attention must be paid to the advice of the Dominion agents, who know the requirements of the market, and in the second place there must be no tampering with the quality of the consignments.They must be uniformly of a high class.Last season, says Mr.Brooke of Leadenhall Market, the trade was spoiled in a measure by want of uniformity.One lot wouldbeof good quality and thenext be musty.The birds should, he adds,al ways be sent over in a chill-room.With proper organization a splendid trade could, he believes, be built up from Canada for fowls and ducks, as well as turkeys.Another point which may be worthy of consideration 1s raised by Mr.Brooke in regard to the time of shipments, \u2018There seems,\u201d he said, \u201cto be an idea in Canada that Christmas is the only season during whichtosend poultry to the British markets.This, of course, is not so.With English producers turkeys and fowls of all sorts are most plentiful during October, November and December, and a great mistake has been made in former years by Canadian shippers who, in their hurry to get the birds ready for the Christmas market, sent them across in bad condition.Arrivals in February, March, and April, and even May, would find & ready sale in this country, and English people are very partial to Canadian turkeys because they are rather \u2018wild\u2019 in flavour.\u201d Arriving at Christmas time, Canadian poultry find British markets almost flooded not only from English and Irish, but from French, Belgian, and Dutch poultry yards.It must also be remembered that the prices of all home products this season are lower than has been the case for à long time past.\u2014Canadian Gazette, THE SLAVES OF BORNEO.HOW COOLIES ARE OBTAINED FOR THE TOBACCO PLANTATIONS.Decoyed from China by Stories of Wealth Without Labor\u2014They Suffer Revolting Cruelty, \u201cI can assure you that the former slaves of the south were in Paradise when compared with the Borneo slave of to-day.\u201d The speaker was Mr.Challinos, of the Ceylon Tea Company, who had just landed in New York aiter having lived for 20 years in the Indian Archipelago, & large part of which period was spent on the Island of Borneo.\u201cWords are nov adequate to express the horror of the traffic in human souls that goes on in that archipelago region.The only means of realizing the full force of the pernicious system is to see it in operation.I now reter to the system of supplying Chinese labor to the tobacco estates of Borneo by the slave traders of Hong Kong and Bingapore, where we find these brutes\u2014'labor agents,\u201d they style themselves\u2014in all of their detestable power.\u201cTo \u2018the \u2018labor agent,\u201d if you please, the Borneo tobacco planted goes, saying that he is in need of 300 coolies.There is no native labor in Borneo, you know, hence the draft is made upon the slave dealer, who promises the planter that the men sball be forthcoming, and that it will cosy him $100 per man\u2014this is Mexican money, which, by the way, is in almost universal use down there.Out of this $100 the slave dealer agrees to pay each coolis about $30\u2014which sum the tobacco pianter, if he is a \u2018just and wisc man,\u2019 is expected to deduct from each coolie\u2019s wages and, of course, put into his own pocket.Thus, you see, the \u2018poor slave is paying the first instalment on his own hire.The slave dealer, or \u2018labor agent,\u2019 begins operations by sending bis own agents out into the highways and byways of China to acour the country and spread Bensa- tional! tales of newly-discovered gold fields in & beautiful El Dorado.\u2018Little work and big pay,\u201d says the agent, and by this and other false enchantment he ipduces \u2018the requisite number of ignor- .ant, hall-starved Chinamen to join the expedition.\u201d NO WOMEN.\u201cAll men ?\u201d was asked.\u201cYes.Women are never found or a Borneo tobacco estate.The agents, having got their men together, compel them to sign an agreement that each slave will pay the planter $30 and work on the plantation a twelvemonth\u2014363 days, for bear in mind there are no Sundays, holidaye or days of rest on a tobacco \u2018plantation.It is hardly necessary to say that not one of those poor wretches knows the purport of the document to which he has put Lis mark\u2014 for they can\u2019t read or write, The agents next proceed to have each coolie photographed.Then each one is branded across fhis breast, or on the small of his back, with the initials of the owner of the estate under whom he is brought into bondage.This marking process is done with caustic, and leaves an ugly, deep- burned, indelible scar about five inches in length, The brand serves to iden- tily the coolie should he attempt to run away, an act which he is certain to attempt when he finds out the sort of life to which he is doomed.\u201d \u2018And \u2018there is no governmental interference im these cases ?\u201d \u201cOnly one case has ever been brought to my knowledge.It happened oun my last voyage irom Singapore.There were 180 of Khe unlortunate, doomed devils on board of our boat.They all had been brought down from the country and taken passage, totally unaware of their destination until they were two days out, when one of the slaves gleaned the fact during & conversation with a Chinaman who was on2 of our crew.Th n for the iirst time, the appalling truth dawned upon them.They learned that they were in the wake of hosts of their fellow countrymen who had fallen vie- tims \u2018to the slave traders and sold their liberty for a mess of pottage.Thereupon these fellows took matters into their own hands at a lively pace.Mutiny followed, and as areeult th~ #kipper was obliged to put back to Singapore.Here Gov.Douglas was appealed to and, after hearing the complaint made by the coolies, he compelled the captain of the vessel to release them.But, bless you, this one case brought to official notice is only one out of the hundreds that go unhindered.As @& usual thing there is no opportunity to put into port at the instigation of the mutineers, because they were cowed and thrown into irons before they have time to organize, and thus they are carried on against protest.\u201d \u2018And f{ipally\u2014\" ./They arrive at Sandakan, where they are unloaded like so many cattle and sent \u2018to \u2018the estate to which they are bound.\u201d IN NORTH BORNEO.\u201cWhat about Borneo ?\u201d \u201cA more handful in North Borneo, and it is this locality of which I speak.{hey comprise the Malays, who are the Dyacks of Borneo ; the Bataks, and other wild tribes of Sumatra, and the aborigines of Northern Celebes, and of the Sula Island.It is necessary here to diverge for a moment from the personage of tbe slave in order that I may give you a better understanding of the peuple into whose hauds these poor slaves fall, \u2018There are undoubted signs of Bor- veo having had at one period & dense population all along its river banks.There are the remains of finely tilled gardens and grand old trees, while even great numbers of piles remain, which again go to prove former habitation, for we know that all of the Malay houses are built upon piles.Therefore, when confronted by these evidences of former settlement, it is à question as to what has become of the people.The only answer Comes from the chioftains, who tell us that the races have in times past s0 continually made war upon another that the end came in extermination.To be sure, there are villages to be found along the banks of these beautiful rivers \u2014ior [poetically beautiful they are today.But even these settlements are situated wide apart.And thus it is that the old custom of head-hunting has very nearly died out, because the few people and the prohibitory law combine to defeat any attempts at tead- hunting, although it must be admitted that one village is only too glad to rob its neighbor of as many heads as possible as trophies of bravery and daring.\u201d : \u201cWere you ever hunted for your head?\u201d I asked, half in jest, not counting upon a serious answer.\u201cYes, once\u2014once only,\u201d the Englishman answered, promptly, \u2018\u2018and to my dying day I shall never forget it.A band of Dyaks chased me around the foot oi & mountain.Away I flew, the savage Dynks after me, until I reached a fallen tree, where I discharged my rifle and thus keeping them back, I gained my camp.And these Malays are the very fellows who at length become the galling yoke around the ranks of the slaves, What a Malay will not do for money is not to be classified in the category of crime.They are a standing and ever ready aid to the tobacco planters, who offer & reward of $5 per head for every runaway Chinese slave they capture and return to them alive.Thus menaced upon every side, freedom is an absolute impossibility.The slave escapes one night, That is comparatively an easy matter.For days he may hide himself in the interior.There ho stops, in a vast, trackless forest, without food and with no possible means to obtain it.Many a day he avoids the river's edge, for this is the highway to and from the estates.Then, when the natives of North hunger seizes him in its mad grip he grows bolder\u2014tamer might be a more fitting word\u2014auntil finally his cravimng appetite drives him to the river, with the quivering hope that he may meek somo compassionate soul who will at least give him a bit of food.And about \u2018the first person that he does meet along the river bank is a Malay\u2014some of these human devils who are always prowling about for coolies.The Malay grects him with a winsome smile.That is a part of his stock in trade.This smile ensnares the coolie, and he begs the Malay to give him food and nid him to escape to the coast.Rich promises are made by the Malay, who induces the coolie to enter his gobong (native boat), when he pounces upon the weak, bungry and.unsuspecting slave, binds him hand and foot, and, after stripping him of every vestige of clothing, lands Lim, stark naked, upon the estate of the coolie\u2019s former master and receives his $3 reward.Frequently eight or ten coolies escape together, and finally wind up face to face with the alluring Malays, and this means bloodshed, for an ax fight is sure to precede submission.\u201d NO WAY OF ESCAPE.\u201cAnd there is no avenue of escape when the coolie is once pursued ?\u201d \u2018No.It occasionally happens that a coolie, when hard pressed, will take to the water and attempt to ewim to the opposite bank of the river.But what then?He becomes the victim of still more appalling torture.1 have seen an ugly crocodile worry a coolie as a terrier worries mn rat, and, with cries of frightful agony, and the water whipp.d into foam and stained with blood, the poor coolie at last gave up the battle \u2018and paid the penalty with a horrible death.\u201d \u201cThen the slave never voluntarily returns to the estate?\u201d \u201cVery seidom ; for any fate would be preferable ko their reception at the hands of \u2018the planters.But I have known cases Where the wretches came back, driven in by the pangs of hunger, of course.I saw one poor fellow, the very life-blood wrung from his heart at every step, as he dragged his weary body back and wan, famished, exhausted, he fell dead at his master's feet.But death is fthe sweetest relief from each bondage after all.Yes, it's a pitiful state of affairs down there in Borneo.The frightful dragon of slavery draws his loathsome length over the land, leaving the slime of bondage to fester beneath \u2018the sun of nineteenth century ci- viligation, And we so-ealled Christians gaze npon it with fettered tongues, until it becomes us to ery out: \u2018Look at us! \"We are the advocates, the models of modern reform and liberty.We will admit that the southern slave lay shackled, hand, foot and body, across a line of rancorous, hubbling contention.But if Le had an enemy, he also had a friend.In the case of the coolie slave \u2018the affair is all one-sided.No persou defends his case.If he does fight for himself! his side falls defeated and he dies.Hundreds of thousands of men laid down their lives to qu nch the hot fires of secession.Not a man ever died for the abolition of coolie slavery.It is all a seli-fought battle with them.Their life story is short, sad, appalling.Capture, under the deception of labor agent's subjection, the caustic brand; the hellish slave driver of the tobacco estate\u2014and, perchance, escape.II so, recapture and punishment too harrowing to mention.Perhaps they plunge into the river.And if they do & more horrible death awaits them, as they scream in \u2018the agony of despair and terror and listen to the sickening cracking of their own bones between the crunching teeth of the ugly crocodile.\u201d \u2014New York correspondence St.Louis Globe-Democrat.Restaurant Ke per (\u2018n

JANUARY 3, 1893.4 IN HIS NAME.Sunday School Scholars Open the New Year Well.The Anniversary Services at the Central Churches Are Well Attended, And the Year Was Fittingly Inaugurated by Prayer and Praise From Juvenile Voices.In accordance with custom for over half a century past the children attending the various Sunday schools of the Protestant churches cf the city, with the exception of the Anglicun churches, gathered ot central points yesterday morning to inaugurate the New Year with prayer and praise.Thess gatherings have been successful in past years, but those of 1893 were more largely attended, and more enthusiastic than in any previous years, and bode well for the religious life of young Protestant Montreal.THS PRESBYTERIAN GATHERING.A merry scene was presented by the

them,\u201d came from the throats of the children in reply to this salutation.Mr.Smith then addressed them in a short speech, which was followed by the hymn ¢\u2018 Jesus loves me, this I know,\u201d which was joined in heartily.Rev.Dr.Barclay then addressed the meeting, fellowing which were responses and other hymns, and addresses by Rev.E.Scott, editor of the Presbyterian Record, Mr, William Tees, representative of the Methodist Sunday School Association, and Rev.J.McGillivray, of Melville church.The service closed by the Lord's prayer repeated by all, and the Benediction.THE METHODIST REUNION.At St.Jame: Methodist church yesterday morning, the sixty-fourth annual New Year\u2019s gathering of the Methodist Sabbath schools of the city took place.Every part of the spacious building was packed, many having to stand up in the aisles.It is estimated that about 3,500 children and 500 teachers were present.Rev.Dr.Douglas was inthe chair, and on the platform were: Rev.W.J.Hunter, Rev.8.P.Rose, Rev.T.G.Willlams, D.D., Rev.W.H.Graham, president of the Montreal Methodist Conference ; Rev.F.A.McAmmond, Rev.E.Thomas and Dr, Alexander.The meeting was opened with the singing of a hymn, prayer by Rev.8.P.Rose, and a short address by the chairman.During the course of the morning a number of gentlemen were called upon by the chairman, all of whom responded in bright, interesting speeches.One and all expressed themselves as happy to see so many young children being brought up under the great moral influence of the Sunday school, and dwelt on the power, in later life, for combatting the evils of the would, of the remembrance of some boyish victory over sin.If the children were virtuous now, they could, and would be virtuous in after years, Rev.Dr.Scrimger represented the Presbyterian Sunday School Association of Montreal.He told the children that he had, in a vision, seen a large number of huge boxes being brought te the church.There was a box for cach person present.These boxes were quite empty, however, and given to the children to fill.Their dimensions were 52 by 7 by 24, but these, he explained, were not the usual yards, feet and inches, but were weeks, days and hours, the length being 52 weeks, the height seven days and the width 24 hours.Tach pupil had received one of these boxes and it was his duty, during the coming year, to fill it with good words and good actions.Mr.8.P.Leet, representing the Congre- gregational Sunday School Association, made a short speech and then introduced little Miss Garlick who recited one of Miss Havergill's well-known New Year's poems.The report for the past year was then read by the secretary, Mr.J.H.Carson, showing the contributionsof the various Sunday schools to the mission fund: I.Peckard,

Emmanuel Church on St.Cather ine street.Tie childrea of Poimt St.Charles, Calvary and Zion Sabbath schools, with their teachers and superintendent to the number of about 4U0 drove in sleighæ to the churoh, where about 200 of Emmanwal\u2019s scholars were in waiting.The superintendents in charge of the other Sunday schools were Zion, Mr.Thos.Moodie; Calvary, Mr.John R.Dougall, MA.; Point St.Charles, Mr.Charles Cushing.At the church, after opening bymas by the scholars and prayer, a brief address was given to the Rev.E.M.Hill, pastor ot Calvary Church.The members of the Methodist denomma.- tion had sent on their delegate, the Rev.J.T.Pitcher, who gave a very practical and interesting address to the children.The pastor of the Point St.Charles Congregational Church, the Rev.Thomas Hull, ga*re an address, and was followed by the Rev, Dr.Barbour, Principal of the Congregatic nal College and acting-pastor of Imimaiwel Church, This bristled with points for the children to take note of, and was most attentively listened to.After a clesing doxology, heartily joined in by the children, the gathering broke np, all uniting in saying that it was one of the moat successful and enjoyable gatherings they had ever seen.The children drove back in sleighs to their several schools, where they dispersed.OUR FIRE LADDIES.Some Figures About Their Work During tfhe Past Year.The

medals awarded by the city as a reward to those who assisted in rescuing the survivors of the Minne-Wa-Wa war canoe accident are to be presented at the council meeting to-morrow afternoon.When the vote of council awarding the medals passed the Mayor hinted that possibly others were entitled to medals besides those named by the president of the Grand Trunk Boat Club.It now transpires that two names were omitted from that list, viz, those of Messrs.Charles and George Beattie, who, from the facts of the case, appear to be as much entitled to themedals as the others.On the day of the accident Messrs.Root, Ryan and the Messrs.Beattie rowed to the old St.Lambert wharf to enjoy a day\u2019s fishing.The boat was left anchored in the cove inside the wharf near the St.Lambert shore, while they started fishing at the outer end of the wharf near where the war canoe upset.Seeing the accident all four men started for the boat toattempt a rescue, and it was Mr.Charles Beattie who cut it from its moorings, there being no time to raise the heavy stone anchor.All four then drew it across the old stone wharf and launched it near where the crew of the canoe were strugglin in the water, As the boat was only a smal one Messrs.Root and Ryan rowed out to the rescue alone, the Messrs.Beattie having to remain and render any neede assistance from the shore.Now, as Messrs.Root, Ryan, the Messrs.Turton and Mr.Gilbeault are to receive medals it would seem but fair that the Messrs.Beattie should receive the same recognition, a8 without their assistance the boat would never have been launched.Then again one of the Messrs.Turton and Mr.Guilbeault, who are to receive medals, never left the shore any more than did the Messrs, Beattie.These facts of the case are now made public for the first time and the Mayor and council will probably see that justice will be done to all who were, on the fatal day in question, instrumental in saving human life.The Windsor Celebrated.According to the good old custom, the Windsor Hotel gave a lunch in the cafe yesterday for all comers, guests and friends.The steward, Mr.Isaac Ebbitt, spared ne pains to please every one, and was ably seconded by the chef.The long table, put up opposite the refreshment platform, was crowded from noon till after 2 o'clock, over 400 partaking of the hotel's hospitality.An excellent menu was provided, including salads, game and entremets, a boar\u2019a head, game pie, a noble saddle of venison and pyramids of sweets.Arrested on Suspicion.Detectives Lafontaine and Campeaun, on the look out for \u2018 confidence men\u201d operating round the railway depot, yesterday morning arrested two men, whose actions aroused their suspicions.They gave their names as Miller and Wilson, but refused to give their addresses or any further account of themselves.On being searched the usual bogus checks and bills were found upon then, as well as the supposed gold watch, worth about $3.They were locked up and a description of them nas been sent to several cities in the States.One of the parties answers tho description of a man who \u2018\u2018buncoed\u201d a party at the C.P.R.depot a little over à month ago.North Hastings\u2019 New Member, Mr.A.W.Carscallen, member-elect for North Hestings, is a descendant of the U.LE.Loyalists, His grandfather was a captain in the British army.When comiug to America he settled at the spet where Albany now stands, and in 1787, with that great army of U.E.Loyalists, having forty acres of land confiscated for his allegiance te the British throne, came to Canada and settled at Fredericksburg, where the member for North Hastings and his father were born, the latter of whom served im the rebellion of °37.Mr.Carscallen is 48 years of age, and came to the County of Hastings 36 years since.He has since made Marmora hig home.Mr.Carscallen has always been interested in the lumber business, and is now largely interested in the development of mining, besides carrying

Still in the Field \u2014Some Differences of Opinion &s to the Choice of Candidates.The actual proceedings at last night's assembly in the Bonsecours Market ball, to ratify the nomination of Senator Desjardins for mayor, was largely of the nature of a fiasco.It was undoubtedly the smallest gathering that ever assembled in Montreal's historic meeting pluce to discuss or decide on any question of public importance.At the outside there were probably not mere than two Lundred people present at any time, including the small boy and a large detail of police, under Lieutenant Scullieres.The meeting, notwithstanding that it was of the shortest duration, broke up in disorder, as it turned out that those present were nearly equally divided as to which should be the nominee \u2014 Senator Desjardins or Mr.Joseph Duhaivel.When The Herald representative entered the hall at about 8.20 o'clock, Mr.J.X.Perrunlt was hunting up names to move and second two resolutions which had been prepared for adoption.The meeting convened at about 8.30 o'clock, Mr.Perrault ofliciating as chairman.On the impromptu platform were uoticed Ald.Villeneuve, M.P.P., Ald.Hur- tubiseand Mr.Francois Martineau.There were also present : Mcssrs.A.Barsalou, A.Rastoul, Joseph Lamarche, J.Poupart, P.Leclair, M, Richard, L.A.Lapointe, C.Desmarteau, A' Fausse and À.Demartigny.Mr.J.X.Perrault delivered almost the same address as was given at the meetin held in the Riendeau Hotel.He recounte.hew it was now the turn for à French Cina lien mayor and instanced as a reason tha.next summer would witness the celebration of the 230th anniversity of the founding of Montreal and the unveiling of the sta.ue or Maisonneuve.Many distinguished sons of old Frauce would also be at- trusted to Montreal \u2018\u2018en route\u201d for the Chicago exposition, and it was but just that that there should be a French mayor to do the honors of the city.Senator Desjardins was the proper candidate to represent with honor the French nationality.He was a man who had attained the highest dignity aud positions.He was a representative of the commercial wealth of Montreal, and had time and again been elected in the County of Hochelaga as the chosen representative of the people.He for one was prepared to lay uside his po:itical inclinations to work for and place Senator Desjardins in the Mayor's chair.Mr, Francois Martineau then spoke in a similar strain, ending by moving the foilow- ing resolution, which was spoken to by Mr.A.Rastoul : Moved by Messrs.Martineau.A.L.Hurtu.biee and Carpal, and scconded by Messrs, N E.Fausse, A.Demers, P.Daigle, J.Lamarche\u2019 P.M.O, Turgeon and G.Basque: \u2014 \u2018Whereas, the French citizens of Montreal desire to celebrate in a befitting manner tho 250th anniversary of the founding of the eity and to offer hearty hospitality to the distinguished men of France, who will in 1883 honor us by their presence at the celebration ; Therefore resolved, that under the circumstances, the high position of Mayor of Montreal for 1893 belongs by right to a citizen of French origin, The resolution was declared amid applause.Ald.Villeneuve declared that out of the 36 aldermen of Montreal no less than 30 were in favor of Senator Desjardins as the next mayor.At this point & French Canadian, who represents an eastern ward, requested, as favor, that The Herald would not publish his name as among those present.\u20ac was evidently not among the thirty.Mr.Derome, à member of the Butchers\u2019 Association, asked leave to state that the butchers of Montreal were not unanimously in favor of the re-election of Mayor Mc Shane.Me.L.A.Beauchamp, president of the Retail Dry Goods Merchants association, rose to move a second resolution.Mr.Phaneuf wanted to speak in favor of Mr.Duhamel, and Mr.Perrault, who was trying to prevent him, was advised to close the proceedings, which he finally threatened to do.Great disorder prevailed for a time,but Mr.Beauchamp managed to speak.Ald.Villeneuve then moved the second resolution as follows: \u201cMoved by Ald.J, O.Villeneuve, seconded br Messrs.G.Boivin, F.Vanasse, L E.Beau- \u20ac amp, M.Richard, R.Renaud, L.O.Lapainte, A.Gibauit, A.Clement and P.Leclair: That it is the opinion of this meeting that the high character and distinguished qualities of Mr.A.Desjardins, president of the Jacques Cartier bank, merits the ratification of his candidacy for Mayor of Montreal, and that this meeting pledge itself to take the necessary steps to secure his eloction as Mayor during the exceptional year of 1893.\u201d The resolution was declared carried, and at once the uproar increased.There were cheers and catcalls, applause and hisses, amid which both Messrs.Per- rault and Phaneuf attempted to speak at once.Finally, as the noise continued, Mr.Perrault and about half the meeting left the hall and started for the residence of Mr.Desjardins to offer him the ratification of the nomination, while the other half remained to listen to Mr.Phaneuf and other speakers delivering addresses in favor of Mr.Duhamel, who, it is understood, is also in the field as a candidate.The portion of the meeting which had gone to interview Mr.Desjardins assembled in front of his residence on Dubord street, from the steps of which he delivered an able speech, accepting the nomjnation on the grounds that he could not refuse the unanimous request of the French citizens of Montreal.Mr.J.C.Robilliard followed ina lengthy address, in which he referred to the grand way in which the French Canadi-ns treated the Irish immigrants, who from stricken Erin had come to these shores, and which he claimed was & reason why the Irish should vote for Mr.Desjardins.Other gentlemen followed in brief addresses, und the gathering dispersed.adopted A New Dominion Liner.Messrs.Harland and Wolff, limited, of Belfast, are now under engagement to build a new steamer for the Dotninion line of steamships,

OF PROTECTION.If it Is Good tor the Nation Why Not Equally so for the Province, the Township and the Individuals.{Henry George on Protection and Freo T: rade.] Th emore one considers the theory that every nation ought to protect itself against every other nation, the more inconsistent does it seem.Is there not, in the first place, an ob- Tious absurdity in taking the mation or country ae the protective unit, and saying that each should bave æ protective taritf?What is meant by uation in the protectionist theory is an independent positical division.Thus Great Britian and Ireland are considered one nation, France another, Germany another, Switzerlaud another, the United States, Cunada, Mexico and each of the Central and South American republics are others.But these divisions are arbitrary.They do mot coincide with any dilierences of soil, climate, race or industry\u2014they have do maximum or minimum Qf area or pupulatigu.They are, moreover, con- stanily changiug.The maps of Europe and America used by school children tu- duy, are very dilierent irom the maps their l&tners\u2019 used.The diiference a hundred years ago was greater yet, and as we go larther back still, greater dii- ferences exist.According to this theory, when .the three British kingdoms had separate goveinuients, it wae neccessary for the weil-being o1 ail that they should be protected iruiu eacu otuer, aud should Ireiand achieve independence that necessity wouid recue;but wiile the three countries are united under one goevrnmeut it does uot exist.The petty states ol which a few years ago italy and Germany cousisted, ougnt, upon this theory, to have paid, as they once had, tarius between tacin.Yet now, upon the same theory, they uo lounger need these tarif1es Alsace und Lorraine, whon provinces of France needed to be protected against Germany.Now that they are German provinces they need protection against France.Texas, when part oi Mexico, required & protective tarif against the United Staces.Now, being a part of the United States, it requires a protective tariff against Mexico.We of the United States require a protec tive tariii against Canada, and the Con- adians a tariff against us; but, if Canada were to Come into the Union, the necessity for both of these tariffs would disappear.Do not these lncongruities show that the protective tarifi is destitute of scientific basis;t hat instead of originating in any deduction from principles or induction from facts, it has been invented merely to serve the purposes of ite in- veutors?Political changes in no wise alter soil, climate or industrial needs.If the three British kingdoms do not now peed tarifis againet one another, they could have not have needed them before the union.If it is mot injurious to the various states of Italy and Germany to trade freely with each other now, it it could not have been injurious before they were united, If Alsace and Lorraine are benefitted by [ree trade with Germany now, they would have been benefitted by it when Fremch provinces.If the people of the opposite shores of the St.Lawrence and the Great Lakes would not be injured by the free exchange of their products should Canada enter the American union, they could not be iujured by freedom to exchange their products now.Consider how inconsistent with the protective theory is the free trade that prevails between the states of the Ainer- ican union.Our union includes &n area almost as large as Europe, yet the protectionists who hold that each European country ought to protect itself against all the rest, make no objection to the free trade that exists between the American states, though some of the states are larger than European kingdoms, and the differences between them, as to nat- aral resources and industrial development are at least as great.If it is for the benefit of Germany and France that they should be separated by a protective tarit: does mot New Jersey need protection from New York and Pennsylvania?and do not New York and Pennsylvania also need protection from New Jersey?And if New Engiand needs protection against the Province of.Quebec; and Ohio, Illinois and Michigan against the Province of Ontario, is it not clear that these states also need protection from the states which adjoin them in the south?What difference does it make that one set of staies belongs to the American union.and the other to the Canadian confederation?Industry and commerce, when left to themselves, pay no more attention to political lines than do the birds or fishes.Clearly, if there is any protective theory it must apply not only to the great political divisions, but to all their parts.If a country ought not to import from other countries anything which its own people can produce, the same principle must apply to every subdivision; and each state, each county, and each township must need its ewn protective tariff.And further than this, the proper application of the protective theory requires the separation of mankind into the emallest possible political divisions, each defended against the rest by its own tariff.For the larger the area of the protective unit, the more difficult does it become to apply the protective theory.With every exteusion of such countries as the United States, the pos sibility of protection, if it can be applied only to the major political divisions, becomes less; and wera the poet\u2019s dream realized, and mankind united in a \u201cFederation of the World,\u201d the possibility of protection would vanish.On the other hand, the smaller the productive unit, the better can the theory of protection be applied.Protectionists do uot go 50 iar as to aver that trade is injurious.They hold that each country may safely import what it caunot produce, but should restrict the importation of what it can produce.Thus discrimination is required, which becomes more possible the smaller the protective unit.Upon protective principles the same will no better suit all the states of our Usiion than the same sized shoes will fit all our sixty million people.Massachu- sotts, for instance, does not produce, coal, iron or sugar.These, then, on protective principles, ought to eome into Massa- ehusetts free; while Pennsylvania eh- joyed protection on coal amd iron, and Loulsiane on sugar.Oranges may be grown in Florida, but not in Minnesota; therefore, while Florida needs a protective duty on oranges, Minnesota does not.And so on through the whole list of states.To protect them all with the same tariff is to ignore as to each that part of the protective theory which permits the free importation of commodities which cannot be produced at home; and compelling them to pay higher prices for what they cannot produce, to neutralize the benefits arising from the protection of such commodities as they do produce.Furthermore, while Massachusetts, on the protective theory, does not need protection on coal.iron and sugar, which she cannot produce, she does need protac tion against the beet, hogs and breadstu\u2019ts with which she is \u201cdeluged\u201d from the es Le indust:ics, anl of which pio.ection wouid enable her to raise enough for her home consumption.On the other hand the west needs protection aguiust the boots and shoes and woolens of Massachusetts, 60 that western leather and wool could bs worked up at home, instead of being carried long distances in raw form, to be brought back in finished form.In the same way the iron workers of Ohio need protection against Pennsylvania more than they do against England, while it is only mockery to protect Rocky Mountain coal miners against the coal oi Nova Scotia, British Columbia and Australia, which cannot come into competition with them, while not protecting them against the coal of low a; or to protect the infant cotten mills oi the south against Old England while giving them no protection against New England.Upon the protective theory protection is must need against like industries.All protoctionists agree that the United Stated has greater need of protection against Great Britain than against Brazil-and Canada against the United States than against India; all agree thai if we must have free trade it should be with the countries most widely: difier- ing as to their productions from our own.Now there is far less difference between the productions and productive capacities of New Hampshire and Vermont.of Indiana and Illinois, or of Kansas and Nebrasks, than there is between the United States as a whole and any foreign country.Therefore, on the protective theory, tariifs between these states are more needed than between the United States and foreign countries.And «ince adjoining townships differ less in industrial capacities than adjoining states, they require protective tarifis ail the more.- The thirteen American colonies came together as thirteen independent sov- ereignties, each retaining the full power of taxation, including that of levying juty on imports, which was not given up by them until 1787, eleven years after athe Declaration of Independence, when the Federal! Constitution was adopted.ii the protective theory, then dominant iu Great Dritain, had at that time had the hold upon the American people which it afterward obtained, it is certain that the power of protecting themselves would never have been given up by the states.And had the Ukion continued as at first formed, or had the framers of the constitution iacked the foresight to prohibit state tarifls, there is no doubt that when we came to imitate the British system of protection we should have had as strong a demand in the various states for protection against other states as we have had for protection against foreign countries, and the arguments now used against free trade with foreign countries would to-day be urged against free trade between the states.Nor ean \u2018there be auy doubt that if our political organization made our townships independent of ome another, we should have in our townships and villages the same clamor for protection against the industries of other townships and villages that we have now for the protection of the nation against other nations.But to- follow the protective theory to its logical conclusions we caunot stop with protection between state and state, township and township, village and village.If protection be neediul between nations, it must be needful not only between political subdivisionsbut between family and family.1f natio.ns should never buy of other nations what they might produce at home, the same principle must forbid each family to buy anything it might produce, Social lews, like physical laws, must apply to the molecule as well as the aggregate.But a social condition in which the principle of protection was thus fully \u2018arried out wouid be a condition of atter barbarism.% MILITARY MEN.Recoive and Exchange Greetings Over the New Year.New Year\u2019s, the day of visiting, and good wishes was well observed yesterday by the volunteers of this city.Receptions were given by the Montreal Field Battery, the Garrison \u2018Artillery, the Prince of Wales Rifles, the Victoria Rifles and the Sixth Fusiliers.Considerable surprise was expressed by the non-commissioned officers and men of the Fifth Royal Scots, on arriving at the drill shed, to find their quarters closed as they were expecting that the usual officers\u2019 reception would be held.This is the first time in inany years that the Scots\u2019 quarters have been closed on New Year's Day.The first armory visited by The Herald was Field Battery A, where there was a strong turn out of officers and \u201c\u2018non-coms\u201d to welcome their friends.The armory was prettily decorated, every one expressing the greatest admiration for the tasteful way in which the armory sergeant had the harness and saddlery arranged, and the clean and bright appearance of the swords and steel work on the same.For an hour or more the place was crowded, many old members turning up to wish both officers and men a happy New Year, The Gurrison Artillery\u2019s quarters until a late hour were crowded.Deputations from other corps kept dropping in, helping to swell the crowd and all wishing the same thing; \u2018\u2018many of them, old man.\u201d The Prince of Wales Rifles\u2019 reception was well attended, especially by the veterans one of whom, Mr.Wallace, had been a member of the corps for the last 39 years and\u2019 was with them to the \u2018front both in \u201866 and 71.The officers of the P-W.R.were nearly all present to help Lieut.-Col.Butler in his duties as host, and to receive their numerous friends, > who kept them busy, all the time coming in a steady stream, The Victoria Rifles (officers and sergeants) received in their respective mess rooms at their own armory.Towards noon, the officers of the other corps, having come up from the drill shed, arrived in large numbers to pay their respects to Lieut.-Col Starke and the officers of the * Vig?and many took advantage of the occasion to look through the \u201cVics » pleasant quarters giving them much credit for having built u > such a comfortable home for themselves, Most of the officers\u2019 visitors called on the sergeants, who conducted their receptions on strictly temperance principles, and ull were glad fo share in the coffee and sandwiches which were py i Tresor provided for their re.Lieut.-Col.Houghton, D.A.G.: Li Col.Muttice, B.M.;
