Has No Connection Whatever With the Plan Being Put Forward at the Canal Convention at Washington-\u2014Mr.Dutton\u2019s Letter to Premier Thompson in the Interests of His Scheme.[Special to The Herald.} Ottawa, Jan.14.\u2014Your correspondent asked C.N.Dutton, one of the promoters of International navigation, what relation, if any,existed between the International navigation and the project for a waterway from Lake Erie to tidewater, advocated by the Canal Convention at Washington.\u2018None whatever,\u201d he replied.\u201cThat convention sought to get the United States Government committed to a political, eleomosynary institution, which, while having some strikingly good features, would follow a route bristling with engineering difficulties and would therefore be so expensive as to be elemosynary, not commercial, for the great wost would involve an interest charge - yearly equal to the saving effected over railroad freights.\u201cThe conflicts of interests, the political predominance of the New York State and compromises which would necessarily produce definite action, would inevitaby result in the adoption of the modified Erie canal route for any canal built by the United States Government\u2014and the canal would be a wholly artificial channel cut in large measure through the limestone and shale formation of New York State, and some 320 miles in length.The International navigation, onZthe contrary, is commercial, not political \u2014continental, not sectional in its nature.It connects the great lakes with the sea, the St.Lawrence with the Atlantic coast of the United States, and makes and perfects the most extended, the deepest and most expeditions ¥ © + © 7 a to east and west, & ; \u2026 plans will be reaay whi The bill comes before the railway committee.\u201cThe preliminary plans are in the hands of experienced engineers, who have a most intimate knowledge of the route.The general outline, however, may be given as follows: The summit level of the Welland canal is to be enlarged from Lake Erie to the Niagara escarpment ; from thence to the bench above Lake Ontario the descent will be made with two lifts, the locks being in double battery, and the navigation will turn east to the Niagara river, descending to it with two lifts similarly arranged.Lake Ontario and the St.Lawrence give free navigation to Cornwall, where the descent to Lake St.Francis will be made with one lock.\u201c We will go out of Lake St.Francis on the southeast, cross the Chatesuguay valley, and descend to Lake Champlain with one lock.Between Lake Champlain and the Hudson occurs the only heavy work\u2014a cut -over 13 miles long, through a 55 foot summit.Beyond this heavy eut, however, there will be free navigation in a lake made by a dam across the Hudson valley, at .Which the final drop to tide level, nearly 90 feet, will be made in one lift.\u201cIn order to give Montreal the best possible facilities, both for zust and west and north and south traffic, an arm of the navigation will descend the Chateauguay valley to Lake St.Louis, and thence to Monureal | harbor.This will give Montreal the shortest routes and best service both to New York and westward.\u2018We expect a large north and south traffic to spring up between Montreal and ports which she can easily and cheaply reach through this navigation, and are, therefore, studying to find the shortest and best route between lakes St.Louis and Champlain.The locks proposed are.to be of unprecedented height, but the pneumatic balance lock, which we shall use, makes such high lifts no more difficult than low lifts, and far cheaper to build and operate than a greater number of low lifts, Lesides being very much quicker.We expect to lock two vessels, one up and one down, in 15 minutes.The total detention at the locks, between Lake Erie and tide water, will not be two hours.The pressure is no greater in a lift of 100 feet than in one of 20 feet, and will never exceed 11 Ibs.\u201cWewillnot use one-tenth the water necessary to operate locks of the preseut system, We will use no more water to make a lift of 100 feet than to make one of 20 feet, and will handle 50 million tons a year with one- tenth the water used in the Sault Ste.Marie lock to handle 11 million tons.The project has been before the Dominion Government for some months, and I under- staid has been the subject of some little discussion and expert examination.Recent adverse comments in Canadian journals led me to addess the following letter to the Premier : Ottawa, Dec.29th, 1892.Tothe Honorable Sir John Thompson, K.C.M.G,, Premier of Canada, Ottawa.DEAR SIR,\u2014As you are aware, notice has been given in the Canadian Gazette that the International Navigation Company will apply at the next session of Parliament for a charter and franchise to construct and operate a twenty- two foot navigation from Lake Erie to Mont- veal.and to Lake Champlain, from whence the line will continue through the United States to the Hudson River.The object of the International Navigation is to make legitimate profits by serving the public need for transportation better and cheaper than the need can be served by any existing avenue of commerce\u2014and to this end it seeks charter powers under such proper and usual restrictions as your government may see fit to impose.An unfavorable attitude by ment toward the International Navigation would, of course, prevent its consummation ; and even its public suggestion in the press known as favorable to your Governinent, is an obstacle of a very serious nature, and will effectually prevent any progress until it be removed, for no one will interest or exert himself in favor of a project which is supposed to be viewéd with disfavor by that power which alope can grant it life.I, therefore, beg you to consider the matter, and if in your matured judgment you think the project one which commends itself to the favor of your Government, you will let that fact be publicly known.Awaiting the honor of your consideration, I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant, our Govern- CHAUNCEY N, DUTTON, For the International Navigation Co.Ottawa, Jan.13, 1893.* Sir,-\u2014I ain directed to acknowledge the.receipt of your letter of the 20th ult., addressed to Sir John Thompson, which he has transferred to this depariment, asking favorable consideration for the scheme of the International Navigation Company.and in reply to inform you that the subject on which you write being one worthy of consideratien and of much public interest, you will be given every opportunity of fully discussing the matter before the Railway committee of the House of Com- ons, if you so desire.x our obedient.servant, Signed)

was lowing the steamer I\u2019.T.Coles in the Tennessee river, 15 miles below Chattanooga, two flues in the boiler collapsed.Two of the colored deck hands were blown into the river and drowned.Twelve of the colored deck hands were scalded more or less seriously, and the second engineer of the Warner and two other white men were seriously scalded.Neither of the steamers was injured to any great extent.DISASTROUS RAILWAY WRECK.A Passenger Coach on the Iowa Central Drops Through a Trestle.Burlington, Jan.14.\u2014A most disastrous wreck occurred on the Iowa Central Railway, one and a half miles east of Morning Sun, Ia, last evening.As an eastbound passenger train\u2019 approached the over-head crossing the rear coach jumped the track and ran along the ties till the trestle was reached, when the coach cleared the track and fell 30 feet to the ground below, carrying with it eight passengers, all of whom were seriously injured, and two of them may die.The most seriously injured are: Rev.Mr.Miller, Mayland, Ia.; fatally : BE.8.Drummer, Wyoming, Ill; Elmer Reece, Morning Sun ; Thos.Meyer, Oakville, 1a.; unknown man from Keiths- burg, lil.Several of the other injured were also burned.\u2018The coach Look fire and was only saved by the eflorts of a gang of ice cutters at work in the vicinity.MANY MARINE ACCIDENTS.Fearful Storm Causes Havoc Along the Coast of England.London, Jan.13.\u2014A heavy snowstorm from the northeast is sweeping over England.Snow, sleet, and a high wind prevail along the coast.Many small accidents to shipping along the coast are reported.I'he steamer Brighton belonging to the Brighton Railway Company, and plying between New Haven and Dieppe, left port in a gale this morning.She had a terribly rough passage.The deck house and smoke stack were washed away, one of her boats was smashed and part of her port rail was torn away by a heavy piece of baggage while her deck was a washed.When she approached the pierat Dieppe the storm was so linding that the pilot could not see beyond her bow, The wind was blowing 60 miles an hour and the seas were breaking over her decks so rapidly that none of the eighty passengers was allowed on deck.With out any warning the steamship crashed into the pier, A \u2018large hole was stove in her bow, and fur a minute she stuck fast.Ropes were got aboard and were made fast before she was driven more than 20 feet from the pier.She began filling rapidly.A long gangway [was improvised and the passengers were hurried ashore.There was little panic.Half the baggage had been got off when the captain ordered the men to leave the ship which was settling rapidly.He had hardly followed the last man to the pier when the vessel went under.Off Dartmouth five pilots were drowned while trying to put a man aboard the cutter.The cutter was pitching heavily when the fog approached her.The bowsprit caught the gig and liited it out of the water.Allthe occupants of the gig were thrown out and but two caught the life lines thrown to them and were saved.PERSONAL.Mr.John Black of St.Johns was in town \u201con Saturday.Mr.F.Wallace Whitlock, of London, Eng., is at the Windsor.Mr.FE.King Dodds,

Arouse Public Feeling Against President Carnot to Fall Flat\u2014Ex-Minister Roche Vindicated\u2014Ex- Minister Baihaut Makes a Confession.Paris, Jan.14\u2014There is profound relief in Republican circles to-lay over the statement of Charles De Lesseps, implicating Arthur Meyer, editor of The Gaulois, as having received one hundred thousand france from the Panama Company.This, at last, briugs the Royalists into the drag net, and shows what the triends of the Republic have claimed from the beginning of the scandal, that Republican officials and journalists did not have a monopoly of Panama corruption.The fact that four Boulangist deputies are said to be put under strong suspicion by evidence before M.Franqueville is also considered as strengthening the case of the republic by showing the hypocrisy of those who assail it in the pretended interest of better government.The Government has also been considerahly strengthened by the speech of Chancellor Von Caprivi on the Army bill Luis has in a large degree diverted attention from Panama affairs and aroused a deeper interest in the foreign concerns of France and in the necessity of Frenchmen standing together against their enemies abroad.CARNOT'S POSITION SECURE.The situation to-day is therefore improved, and although the Figuro publishes a seusa- tional article signed hy the editor in chief, M.Magnard, urging Carnot in the interests of the Republic to resign, very little is heard of the editorial criticism upon the President.The attempt to arouse public feeling against Carnot has fallen flat, and men who vehemently denounced the president yesterday are comparatively moderate to-day.Itis generally believed the worst is known regarding Panama, and that no developments adverse to Carnot are possible.The discredit thrown on the Gaulois has aided greatly in relieving Carnot.The staff of that paper was active in endeavoring before th: Panama commission of the Chamber to connect Carnot\u2019s name with the Panama corruption, but when cornered declined on ulleged professional grounds to give authority for statements made.FEX-MINISTER ROCHE VINDICATED.Ex-Minister of Commerce Jules Roche is also said to be vindicated from the charge that he had shared in Panama bribery.When first accused M.Roche answered in a manner that made a most favorable impression in the Chamber.He is a man of rather short stature, and of a slight, delicate frame, but his whole appearance wore an air of determination and energy, and he was fairly successful in mastering his emotion, as in clear and firm tones he declared that he could not imagine what machination or denunciation had reduced him to this position, or with what enemy he had to perfectly at ease.He would give an emphatic contradiction to all the charges brought against him, adding that these accusations were all the more absurd, seeing that he had not voted on the Panama bill.The donial then given by M.Roche has been verified to the satisfaction of Magistrate Franqueville, who finds that the initials \u2018*J.R.\u201d made by the late Baron Reinach on the counterfoil of a check do not opply to Roche, who will, therefore, be released from accusation of complicity in the Panama corruption.It was alleged on the strength of these initials, that M.Roche had received twenty thousand francs from Reinach.The evidence against others who have been accused is said to be no stronger than that against Roche.BATHAUT MAKES A CONFESSION, The evidence against ex-Minister of Public Works Baihaut continues, according to reports, to grow stronger.Baihaut, says the Siecle, admitted yesterday that he had received 455,000 francs for supporting the Panama Lottery bill.Baihaut, it is said, will make no defence to the charges against him.He is deserted by nearly all his friends.There seems à disposition to lay upon Bai- haut the chief responsibility for the disgrace and loss to the Republic resulting from the the Panama Lottery bill, and the proseeu- tion of the ex-minister will be vigorously pushed.SOCIALISTS DISCUSS THE SCANDAL.In response to the manifesto issued by the Socialist Deputies, the Tivoli Vauxall was packed to the doors this evening with socialists of all shades opinion hent on discussing the Panama scandal.The speakers denounced the corruptions of the Bourgeoie overnment, as brougnt to light by the Panama Canal investigation, and Citizen Guesde was especially violent and extreme in his language.Guesde called attention also to the Guelph scandal in Germany as illustrating the corruption of politics under existing forms of government.The meeting unanimously adopted a resolution in favor of general amnesty to all political prisoners, and also approved the declarations of the manifesto under which the meeting had been called.THE POLICE DEXY REPORTS.The police deny the reports that fresh prosecutions are impending and new arrests to be made for complicity in the Panama canal frauds and corruption.The Committee of Investigation of the Chamber of Deputies bad a dull session to-day.The statement that the ex-minister fully confessed the bribery charges is confirmed, and it is expected Baihaut will be put on trial as soon as the present trial is concluded.LORD STANLEY AT BRANTFORD.He Takes Part in an Interesting Ceremony at the Young Ladies\u2019 College.Brantford, Ont., Jan.14.\u2014About 9.30 this morning the Reception Committee waited upon his Excellency Lord Stanley at his car and were soon driving on a tour of inspection through the city, At one o'clock the purty lunched at the Kerby House, and at two o'clock the party re-entered the sleighs and proceeded to the Ontario Institute for the Blind, were they were received and welcomed by Principal Dymond, after which they proceeded to the Brantford Young Ladies College (Presbyterian) where bis Excellency was received by Rev.Dr.Cochrane, the Governor.On science was his Excellency entering the College drawing-room the young ladies sang God save the Queen, when Liev.Dr.Cochrane on behalf of the directors in a neat and concise speech welcomed his Excellency to the college, to which his Excellency replied, after which he presented the Duiterin medal to Miss Grace Melntosh, of Vancouver, B.C.who was the successful competitor in university marticulation.The governess and teachers were then

PERMANENT.THE POPE APPOINTS HIM AS HIS FIRST AMERICAN DELEGATE.Archbishop Corrigan, of New York, Mas in Consequence Made His Bow of Humble Submission.Rome, Jan.14.-The Pope has decided to establish a permanent Apostolic delegation in the United States and has nominated Mgr.Satolli to je the first delegate.This decision the Vatican considers to be a sufficient reply to the opposition to Mon- seigueur Satolli and his mission.The Propaganda will send by the Rev.F.Z.Rooker the documents authenticating the new powers conferred on Monseigneur Satolli as permanent deiegate.In order that he may convey these documents, Father Rooker will postpone his departure for America.Pope Leo is said to be greatly interested in the situation in America, and desirous of putting an end to the ecclesiastical differences existing there.With this purpose in view the Pope is preparing an encyclical to the American episcopate advising harinony and union.TIE NEWS AT WASHINGTON.Washington, Jan.1t.\u2014Mgr.Satolli, the papal ablegute, received at the (Catholic University to-day the following cable message from Dr.O'Connell, the American secretary of the Propaganda, who accompanied Myr.Satolli to this country and recently returned to Rome :-\u2014 \u201cRome, Jan.14, 1893.\u2014Mgr.Katolli, the apostolic delegation, is permanently established in the United States, and you are confirmed as the first delegate.(Signed), O'Connell.\u201d Information was received confirming the announcement that Rev.F.Z.Rooker, of Albany, had been formally appointed secretary of the the apostolic delegation, and stating further that he had left Rome for New York, and was no doubt the bearer of the papal bull creating the delegation and confirming all the powers of Mgr.Satolli.ARCHBISHOP CORRIGAN BOWS.New York, Jan.14.\u2014On the announcement that the Pope had established a permanent Apostolic Delegation in the United States and had named Mer.Satolli the first delegate, Bishop Corrigan prepared the following, which his secretary, Father Connolly, gave out this evening: * The Sovereign Pontiff, as the Vatican Council defines, enjoys immediate episcopal jurisdiction over the entire flock of Christ.The primary of Apostolic See carries with it, from its very nature, the right to appoint a representative in any diocese of the world.To deny this is to deny the faith.Consequently, when the Holy Father is pleased to make a delegate apostolic he has a perfect right to do so.More than this, to doubt of the wisdom of the Holy See in determining to appoint such a representative no Catholic who is well instructed in his religion would for a moment think of doing.We all receive this decision of the Holy Father as we receive all other decisions emanating from him with the profoundest reverence, respect and obedience.Before the Holy See acted there might have been room for a difference of opinion.None now exists.For my own part 1 gladly receive and welcome the news in question, always supposing it to be authentic.» No official announcement of the appoint- 1 ment has reached Archbishop Corrigan, nor does he expect any.Speaking as his repre- gentative Father Connolly stated to-night that whatever might be said in regard to the result of the appointment of Mgr.Satolli as Apostolic delegate must necessarily be conjecture only.Archbishop Corrigan himself could not be seen.It was announced thav he had prepared his statement upon reading the report of the appointment and had gone out.st Archbishop Corrigan\u201d said Father Connolly, \u201c\u2018accepts the ruling of .the Holy Father as right.There was room for an opinion opposed to this action previous to the appointment.Now, however, there can be but one view of the matter.\u201d \u201cThere may be some people who will take this appointment as a direct hit at Archbishop Corrigan.Will he have anything to say in answer to them?\u2019 was asked.\u201cWe cannot help what the people think,\u201d was the reply.The Archbishop will ignore whatever may be said.\u201d A STATEMENT REGARDING DR.MCGLYNN.Washington, Jan.14.\u2014 Archbishop Satolli, permanent Apostolic ablegate in the United States authorizes the publication of the following statement in regard to the Pope\u2019s action in the case of Dr.Mec- Glynn: \u2018\u2018On the the very day of the recon- cilation of Dr.McGlynn with the church public notice was given of it with the statement that Mgr.Satolli had absolved from censure and reconciled Dr.McGlynn by special power for the purpose requested from and granted by the Holy Father, and moreover that the absolution had been given because Dr.McGlynn had willingly accepted the conditions laid down by the Holy Father as necessary and sufficient.This information so expressed should have sufficed to satisfy every one with the reconciliation carried out by authority, especially delegated by the Holy Father, and with the conditions called for by the Holy Father.Here it is well to make several reflections.1st.That as soon as it was understood that these conditions were complied with, every sincere Catholic should at once have felt himself bound in conscience to recognize that all had been done in the case that was expedient in accordance with the spirit of the Catholic church.\u20182, That the selection of the proper time and the manner to give public information of the conditions belonged to the authority of the Church, and when the Holy Father should find it opportune after the reception of the documents which were immediately forwarded.\u2018* 3.Every one could see that the immediate publication of these-conditions was for prudential reasons omitted to avoid talk that might oppose the good done bv doing away with the calamity which had for so long weighed upon a priest by reconciling him, to due respect in every case to eclesiastical authority, and before all to that of the Holy See, as well as to that of the Council of Baltimore, inasmuch as it is forbidden to treat eclesiastical matters and questions through the medium of journalism.Much more deplorable is it that persons both ecie- siustics and laymen who wish to appear as sincerely Catholic make bad use of journalism with violent and mendacious attacks beyond all bounds of respects and charity against venerable prelates whose virtue and learning, whose rectitude of character and unquestioned and unquestionable love towards the church and the Supreme Pontiff, never unacco.upanied by sincere love of country make then deservedly the objects of the speeial predilection of the Holy Father and of universal esteem and veneration.Independent Labor Party Reforms.Londou, Jan.14.\u2014At to-day\u2019s session of the Independent Labor Party at Bradford the miners\u2019 committee reported in favor of the abolition of overtime, piece work and the establishment of 48 hours as a legal week's work; the making provision for the sick and disabled, and for orphans and aged widows; the collective ownership of lands, adult suffrage and the abolition of the House of Lords.M.P.RYAN DEAD.The Well-Known Official Sinks Into His Last Sleep.A Short History of the Life of One of Montreal's Residents\u2014For Ten Years he Held the Position of Collector of Customs in This City\u2014Identified With Charitable Work and Many Societies.\u201cM.P.Ryan is dead !\u201d That was the sad message that was given yesterday morning at High Mass to the members of the congregation of St.Patrick\u2019s Church, with which the late collector of customs had been so long identified, and instantly there swept through the large congregation a wave of deep sorrow and sympathy which will have its duplication among the commercial community of the city when they learn this morning that the respected Collector hus passed to that bourne from which no traveller returns.His end was very sudden.He had been ailing for many weeks, but had recuperated somewhat, and hoped to return to his duties this morning, but iv had been ordained otherwisc.He rose yestecday morning with the intention of going to mass at St.Patrick's church, but hud hardly well begun dressing before he was called upon to answer the last summons.His brave heart had failed; its work was done, and in a few minutes the soul of M.P.Ryan had passed to its Maker.The sad news spread rapidly throughout the city, and cverywhere one could hear expressions of deep and sincere regret, for whatever political differences Mr.Ryan may have engendered during his political life, they had all been forgotten by reason of his valued services as Collector of Customs.: Michael Patrick Ryan was born in Tipperary, Ireland, on Oct, 10, 1824, and was consequently 69 years old.In May, 1840, he came to Canada with his father and mother and their family.They landed st Quebec and settled at Chambly, where the family engaged in farming.In 1853, Mr.Ryan came to Montreal and established the Franklin House, which soon became a well- known hostelry.Mr.Ryan continued in this capacity until 1859, when he entered into business as a produce merchant.Meanwhile, in 1855, he was elected to represent St.Ann\u2019s ward in the city council, where he served three years.Upon the death of the late Hon.Thomas D'Arcy McGee Mr.Ryan was unanimously elected to fill the vacant seat for Montreal West in the House of Commons, The city was afterwards redistributed, but Mr.Ryan was re-elected by acclamation for Montreal Centre at the next general election.In 1874, he was again elected for the same division, but a petition was entered against him and he was unseated.Thereupon followed the ever memorable victory of the late Mr.Bernard Devlin, the Litera candidate.However, when the National Policy campaign of 1878 came around Mr.Ryan was again elected by a large majority.He continued to represent the city division until the general elections of June, 1882, when he retired.A month later he was appointed Collector of Customs at this port, which position he has since occupied to the satisfaction of the comner- cial community.Mr.Rysn leaves a widow, baving been married in 1850 to Miss Mary Brennan, the sister of the wife of Solicitor-General Cur- ran.Mr.Ryan leaves behind him two brothers and two sisters.One is Mr.William Ryan, the well-known produce merchant of Toronto; the other is Mr.Cornelius Ryan, & prosperous farmer in the Ottawa district.Mr.Ryan has been for many years identified with charitable work in Montreal.He has been a president of St.Patrick\u2019s society ; was at the time of his death a director of St.Patrick's Orphans\u2019 Home, secretary of St.Bridget\u2019s House of Refuge, and a director of the Confederation Life Assurance company.For many years Mr.Ryan was & member of the Harbor Commission.The funeral will leave his late residence, 390 St.Antoine street, at 8.30 to-inorrow morning for St.Patrick\u2019s

Given no Excuse for Withdraw.:g the Bonding Privilege of Canadian Railways.{Special to The Herald.) Ottawa, Jan.15.\u2014The Herald correspondent learns to-night that the Government have decided to announce to the public at once that, for the season of navigation of 1893, the rebate system in regard to canal tolls will be abolished.It s an unusual thing to make such an announcement at this early period of the year, but it is understood that it is to be done with the view of doing away with any excuse for President Harrison to make further retaliation against Canada.Thers are some fears lest the President might stop the bonding system on the Canadian Pacific and other Canadian railways.It ie scarcely correct to say that the rebates which were given to vessels landing cargoes at Montreal will be abolished, since they were always provided for by the order-in-council and stopped at the end of the navigation, but atallevents it has been decidedthat they will not be granted next season, and, theres fore, the cry that they meant discrimination against American shipping will be stopped.The announcement will also do away with the tax on Canadian shipping passing through the St.Mary\u2019s eanal.The members of the Government will not say anything furthes than confirm the correctness of the information which your correspondent has obtained on this matter.NOVA SCOTIA MINERS PETITION.Chas.H.Cahan, leader of the Opposition In the Nova Scotia legislature, who is here, denies that the petition forwarded to the Dominion Government asks for the dis.allowance of the act empowering the local Government to hand over Nova Scotia coal fields to an American syndicate.What the petition asks is the disallowance of the clauses of the act raising the royalty on coal from 74 to 10 cents per ton.TL was claimed in the petition that when the present leaseholders got the mines an assurance was given them that the royalty would nos be raised any higher.By now doing so it is argued the Government has broken faith with the people, hence the request for the exercise of the veto power in regard to those clauses.It is also said in connection with this deal that all the coaling stations on the Atlantic coast will be under the control of a foreign syndicate which would be a very inconvenient and dangerous position in case of war.- Mr.Cahan says his mission here is not in connection with this deal.As the Government bad full power to make the deal by the act of last session without calling the Legislature, he cannot see wby it has been specially summoned, unless there are to be some very important changes in in the proposed negotiations.Poverty at Three Rivers.The distress among the poorer classes of the community is not confined to Quebec and Montreal, for at Three Rivers there is much more distress than ever before, and the St.Vincent de Paul Society have many demands made upon it for relief.The Archbishop Did Not Angwer.The directors of the Canada Revue, before instituting an action for damages aguinat Archbishop Fabre on account of the ban under which he put that journal, decided to give him two weeks in which to withdraw the order.The time has expired and the directors have heard nothing from the Archbishop, It is understood that they will enter an action at once.Finding Fault With the Editor.The editor of the Trifluvien and the members of the bar of the Three Rivers district are at loggerheads, and at a meeting of the bar there the other day a resolution was assed protesting against the writings of ir.Avotte, the editor of the Trifluvien, on the ground that they were calculated to throw discredit upon the administration of justice and the bar of the district.The Herald's Progress.L\u2019Opinion Publique, Mr.IL H.Tache\u2019s bright weekly paper, has to say of The Herald: ¢ The Montreal Herald is daily becoming more important.Its editorial staff is intelligent, active and progressive.The Herald preserves, moreover, besides its purely political articles, which are truly Liberal in spirit,an absolute independence, and gives to the public telegraphic and local news which are not made sensational before reaching the public, This is the spirit that should govern the direction of a newspaper which has respect for opinion ; it is the reason of the growing sucoess which crowns the work of the present dire ectors of The Herald.\u201d DEATHS.LAROCQUE\u2014In this city.on the !4th inst., A.B.LaRocque, de Roche-Brune, M.D.The funeral will take place on Wednesday, the 18th, from the residence of his son-in-law, Ald.Hurteau, 316 Sherbrooke street, at 8.4 a.m., to St.James church.Rolatives and friends will please accept this intimation, To-Day\u2019s Amusements.ACADEMY\u2014Zola's \u201cTherese,\u201d 8 p.m.QuUEEN's THEATRE\u2014 \u201cEight Bells,\u201d 8 p.m.THEATRE ROYAL\u2014\u201cA Dark Secret,\u201d 2 and 8 m : SOHMER PARK\u2014 Variety entertainment, 3and 8 p.m.CycLORAMA\u2014\u201c\u201cCuèter\u2019s Last Fight.\" ART GALLERY\u2014Exhibition of paintings.Musse LA SALLE\u2014Historical exhibition.WiINDpsoRr Haur\u2014Lotus Glee Club Concert, 8 pam.MARINE INTELLIGENCE, Movements of Ocean Steamships.Jan.14 Arrived at From Germanic.Vi Liverpool Labrador.Portland Ethiopia.à] .New York Elbo.coaevreasse Bremen Jan.15.\u2019 Runice.Rhynland.La Champagn Hermann.ueenstown TO-DAY'S WEATHER.Westerly Winds, Fair Weather, No Deeided Change in Temperature.Toronto, Ont., Jan.15, 11 p.m.\u2014The depression which on Friday was over Nebraska moved quickly across the Ohio valley, thence off the Atlantic coast, and is now south of Nova Scotia, giving rain and snow with strong east winds in that province.The Northwest high pressure has spread round to the southward of the Lakes, causing a continuance cold weather with westerly winds in Ontario and Quebec.Minimum and maximum temperatures { Calgary, 2, 22;

and he said, EFor Gods love, say no more.\u201d But she answered, saying, \u201cNay, I have so much to say.\u201d And she came nearer to him for a little space; and her head drooped down- \u2018word, like a flower full of rain.\u201cAnd she did knit and unknit her white fingers as they hung before her.And she said, \u201cThere is no guerdon worthy such a knight, but if an thou\u2014\" Then all on a sudden did she reach out both arms towards him, and her fair hands, palms upward, and the scarlet leaped to her very brow ; but she lifted her little head \u2018 proudly, albeit her eyes were dropped downward, and she said unto him, \u201cTake me, for I am thine.\u201d And he trembled from head to foot, and parting his lips as though to speak, reached out his arms and clasped her.And when I realized what I had - done, I did drop my cross-bow and took to my heels, like one followed by goblins.\"Now, even as I hope to be saved, I but just come to recognize that this was my second eavesdropping.So be it.I have vowed, and must keep my vow.It was all made clear to me that night, when Marian did relate to me how that the Spanish woman had slain herself by swallowing : flame.At which (though mightily pleased, God forgive me, on account of my lady and the earl) I was more than ever thankfulthat Lord Robert had escaped alive and unwed out o\u2019 th\u2019 clutches o\u2019 th\u2019 Spanish wench.And here it occurreth to me that - I have not yet told that Marian did know from the first of my lady\u2019s going up to town dressed as her brother.This I record more on aecount of its being a marvellous instance of a woman's keeping her \u201ctongue than to shame Marian, who | had often read how that wives \u201cshould submit themselves unto their husbands as unto the Lord.Howbeit, all ended so happily that » I had not the heart to scold her.With the first frosts pf October my lady and the ear! were wed Methought the queen herself could not have had a finer wedding, and certes no woman could have had a nobler spouse.He was yet pale from his wound, but most soldierly of bearing and proud of carriage.He was clad all in white, like my lady.A more beauteous apparel I have never seen, His doublet was of cloth of silver.with a close jerkin of white satin embroidered in silver and little pearls.His girdle and the scabbard of his sword were of cloth of silver, with golden buckles.His poinard and sword were hiltcd and mounted in gold, together with many blazing orders and richer devices that 1 know not how to enumerate.My lady\u2019s gown was all of white satin, sewn down the front with little pearls, like those on my lord\u2019s jerkin, and her ruff was of soft lace, not stiff, as was the fashion, but falling about her bosom most mo- destlyland hecomingly.Lord Robert methinks, was eke as goodly, after his way, as either his sister or Lord Denbeigh, being close clad from head to foot in crimson sarcenet, slashed all with cloth of gold.My lady had given me some suiting clothes for the occasion ; and as for Marian, methought in hernew gown of sea-green taffeta, with her new ruff and head-gear that she looked as fair a matron as any mother of fine lads in all England.IV.Seven monthsthey had been wed, and it was May again.Methought such love had never been on earth since Eden.\"Twas gladness but to see them.And all, moreoer, was 8» well with Lord Robert, who folks did say, was in mighty great favor at court, and like to become a shining light in the land.\u2018Twas on a May morning.The trees were a-lit with birds, and the sound of waters set all the winds a-singing.All at once comes my lord, and sets his hand on my shoulder.Then I know that something dire hath happened.And he saith, \u201cFriend, where is thy mistress ?\u201d And I tell him that she is out among the roses.Then saith he all at once, \u201c The Queen hath sent for me\u2014I must to war, And I could do naught but stare at him.And he said to me: \u201cIn an hour I must be gone.Say naught to thy mistress.I will go don a suiting dress, and do thou bring me my sword and give it into my hand.\u201d And he went, returning shortly, and I gave him the sword.It was then that we heard the voice of my lady without, and she sang a song of the spring-tide, The words 1 have ne'er forgot, though I did but hear them once : \u201cForO! For O! The cowslips blow, And the ground\u2019s all gold below me ; The speedwell\u2019s eye Peer up so bli\u2019, I swear it seems to know me ! ¢ The lady-smocks In silver frocks + Do flout the sonsy clover ; The humble bee Consorts wi\u2019 me And hails me for a rover.Then trip, then trip, And if ye slip Your lad will lend a hand O The lass in green With black, black een, Is the fairest in the land O.\u201d And as the earl listened methought he would have fallen, grasping my shoulder, old man as I was, and bending down his head upon it And I did stay him with my arm, as though he had been my very son-\u2014for old age is father to all men.So my lady comes in, with her Id hair blowing, and her white kirtle full of red roses, and seeing her lord goes to meet him.But when she noted the soldierly fashioning of his dress, and the sword irt at his thigh, she opened her ps as though to cry out, but no sound escaped them.And her kirtle slipped from her hold, and the red roses lay between them like a pool of blood.Then she saith unto hin, \u201cTell me.Quick, quick!\u201d And he lifts her to him, and saith \u201c Sweetheart, my Queen hath bidden me come fight for her and for my country.\u201d And she saith naught, only clasps him.But by-and-by she cries out, saying, \u201cGo not! Go not! Else wilt thou kill me.\u201d And so speaking, falls like one dead at her lord's feet.Then I, running like one distraught to fetch Marian, do tilt pell-meil into Lord Robert, who hath come down to Amhurste for a week or so of rest \u201cHeydey!\u201d Gr he.\u201cWhat Jack-a-lent hath\u201dTrighted thee ?\u201d And I told him all.Never a word said he, but went straightway and got upon his horse, and clapped spurs to its sides, and so out of sight.And all that night my lady lay pigh to death, so that there was ne'er a thought in the breast of any for another soul.Therefore Lord Robert was not missed.Ere two days were past came a man with despatches, and we found out how that Lord Robert had substituted himself for the earl (having acquainted the Queen with the cir- cumstances\u2014and he being, moreover, so great a favorite), and how the Queen had granted Lord Den- beigh leave to remain in England a while longer.And so his lordship was with his lady when their child was born, but Lord Robert was killed in the wars.They grieved sore for him, and for many weeks would not be comforted.And even it was said that the Queen mourned for him, and did banish all festivities from court for the space of several days.But like as the stars do pale in the morning sky, so pales the orb of sorrow before the rays of the great sun, happiness.And though he was ne'er forgotten, and though the tears would spring to my lady\u2019s eyes heard she but his name mentioned, yet she did smile again and was happy.It chanced but this morning that Marian and I, leaning from the window that overlooks the cast terrace, did see a most winsome sight.\u2018Twas a fair morning, and May again, and on such mornings as these my lady would go forth on the east terrace with the child.And there grow all such sweet flowers as my lady loves\u2014the red mule-pinks, and dame\u2019s-violets,such as are sweet o\u2019 evenings, but marvellous fair to look upon both by sunlight and moonlight.And the south wall was all thick with the yellow violets, so that my lady's head looked like the head 0\u2019 a saint against a gold platter.And there did my lady sit, on a quaintly wrought bench, with the little lord.And this morning, when she was seated, and the babe curled against her bosom, and Marian and myself thinking o the pictures o' the Virgin Mary and the blessed Jesus (saving that my lady\u2019s kirtle was was all of a white and gold, like the lilies, knotted in her waistband), she looked up on a sudden, and lo! there was the master coning along over the grass towards her.When he saw who it was that sat there, he doffed his plumed hat like as though it had been the Virgin Mary for very truth, and he paused a minute, but then came on.When my lady saw him who he tas, there came a fair red o'er all he white o\u2019 her throat and face; ay, and withal over her very bosom.And she put up one white hand, JOB PRINTIN with her wedding ring on\u2019t, and made as though she would shield the sun from the babe\u2019s eyes.And all this time my lord came slowly over the grass, as though the sweet sight did pleasure him both far and near.And when he was approached, he stood, still with his hat in his hrnd, and looked down at the babe and its mother and was silent.Then the child, fecling mayhap that its father was near, twisted over towards him reaching out its waxen arm, and smiled right knowingly ; whercat my lord did pluck the great plume out 0\u2019 his hat and lay it across my lady\u2019s bosom; moreover, he knelt and put an hand on the babe.but his arm he held about his wife.\u2018 Then did she draw both my lord and the child to her, and pressed them against her, but her face she lifted Godwards.And something spoke within our hearts that we turned and left the window.(THE END.)

ABKOTTS, CAMPBELL & MEREDITH, (e).A report from Messrs.Macmaster and MeGibbon, Solicitors of the Company, that the titles to its Mills have been duly examined, and that no encumbrances exist, Applicants for shares may examine these documents, copies of which may be seen at the Company's offices, and at the various offices of the Banks mentioned above., The Consumers Cordage Company is pros bably the second largest Manufacturer of Cordage and Binder Twine lin the world, and claims the following very material advantages over its competitors :\u2014 ; 1st.Ample capital to conduct its business which cnables it :\u2014 (a) To buy 1ts raw material in larger quantities, and at lower prices.(b) To use only the.latest and most improved machinery, thus keeping its mills n the highest state of cfficiency.2nd.onomy in selling and distributing its manufactured product.srd.The business covers s0 wide a territory (its manufactured goods go to almost every civilized country in the world) that it cannot be seriously Injured by local troubles ; and its Manufacturing establishments are so scattered that the danger of severe loss by fire is very slight.4th.Lower cost of production.(a).By maintaining the sharpest com tition between its several mills,it is enabled to introduce in all the best methods found in each.(b).By spreading its commercial expenses over a larger output, | (ec) By placing in one hand the purchasing of the Raw Materials and Manufacture ing supplies for the several Mills, thus securing lowest prices.(d).By manufacturing for themsélves many of their supplies.The Company has always found it In its interest to divide the economies effected in production and distribution with the Consumer, and since ils existence the Consumer has, upon the average, bad a better article at a lower prico than previously.The Company does not claim to have any monopoly, or to earn monopoly profits; in fact, it has noldone so.Since its organization it has been able, owing to the advantages above referred to, to earn a net return on its present capital of not less than 10 per cent.per annum (as state ments in their Bankers\u2019 hands will show), and the Directors believe that these profits will be maintained in the future, as the cost of production and distribution shows each year a marked decrease.The Dividend for the year ending 31st October, 1892, was at the rate of 84 percent.per annum.The past recordof the Compsny and its present position justify the Directors in believimgthat quarterly dividends ofoneand three-quarters per cent.can be prid{and should the profits fer the present year be as large as the outlook promises, the final quarter's dividend might be imcreased.Any farther 1miormalien may ne had at the head office of the Com:

therefore a few suggestions that have been gleaned from women who have solved the problem of a livelihood may not come amiss.To begin with, a tasty, deft-fingered girl who haw always had a reputation for making one dollar do duty ior five, ean turn fhat quality to good use by farming out her taste to those who Rave none yet are willing to pay for hers.She can send out.circulars agreeing to furnish a house from the kit-| chen stove to the piano lamp in sums people are 4villing to expend for that purpose.Many will be glad to avail themselves of the artistic possibilities ehe can furnish as well as to get rid of the bother of trying to do the thing themselves.For a girl who has ana- tural gift in this direction, it will be a real pleasure to devise quaint con- cecits and put her ingenuity to the test in the matter of making the money ge as Tar as possible.Professional shoppers and table decorators are also sure to make a good living.A \u2018\u2018duster\u2019 is a recent but necessary adjunct of swell households, it being no more or less a careful.ladylike \u2018creature who dusts the costly por- celaing and bric-a-brac that are too rare to de trusted to the servants.One or more persons on the jist would make this a very paying and pleasant occupation, If there is any one thing in the culinary line that you know how to make particularly well make & specialty of that.Daintise for the sick are things that are always in demand, for there arc very few who know how to pre- pars broths and gruels so that they taste at all palatable to the guerulous convalescent.The mending of fine chiva i= remunerative and pleasant work if ou have an endless stock of patience and \u2018particularly skilful fingers.If.however, none of the things mentioned appear to tally with your capabilities do not de discouraged, but sit down and brush the cobwebs from your perplexed drain and wou are certain to stumble on some unusual and paying ozcupa« tion for which you have a taste.\u2014Phi- ladelphia Times.HOW TO DARN STOCKINGS WELL.It is Just as Easy as to Do Them Badly if One Knows How.The secret nf successful darning lies Qu \u201cranning\u2019 the thread of the darning cotton so far on each side of the hole that it does not immediately fray and pull out of the goods.Take n long thread of darning cotton to begin with and run it at least hali an inch along the \u2018goods on each side of the hole.Continue this until the hole is snugly covered.Now cross these threads in the regular darning style.taking care that To darn very large holes, such as are apt to occur with even the most careful steppers when shoes are loose at the heels or are ill-fitting, something more than a thread of darning cotton is necessary.A case like this requires a patch.Such holes almost always occur in the heel, go that in treating of the method of mending them it is safe to take the heel for a model.From the leg of ar old stocking, such as 18 sure to be found in your basket, Cut à kiteshaped piece of goods about five inches lon aud four inches across.Turn the stocking wrong side out and lay the kite upon the heel, so that the long pointed end rmns up the back of the leg and the lower rounded part is at the base of the heel.\u201cRun\u2019\u2019 down the centre of the kite with a stout linen thread, taking rather large, loose stitches.Now, \u201crun\u201d in the same way across the kite-shaped piece, letting the thread be Very slack.The next step sto sew the patch tightly ta the heel,which is\u2019 done by stitching it around the outside, If deitly done there will be neither wrinkle nor crease to tell th: wWearer that so important an operation ha: taken place upon the heel of the stocking.1 Patches that mre made of materia! other than bits of old stockings are apt to be harsh.And it is by their use that the patened stocking has fallen into dis- pepute amont comfort-loving people.But, let the housewife give this sim- pie little method a trial and she will live to rejoice that such a useful bit of knowledge has been added to her list of househoid facts.\u2014Philadelphia Times.An Ideal Sleeping Apartment.In the sleeping apartment of a young woman, the daughter of à man many times a millionaire, the wall paper is pale gold.on faint slate color.The gilt bedstead is pushed against a square of plaited silk oi pale gold, with slaie- colored silk bows at the corner.À similar background of plaited silk rises to the ceiling above the toilc: stand.On that are pitcher, bowl and soap dish, for you must know that running water is supposed to invite sewer gas.These picces of crockery are all the finest ware.A beveled edged mirror six feet high swings on brass rods above the floor in one corner.She has also a iolding glass, which reflects her ears, back, hair and neck.There is an open fireplace, besides a hot air register, a dressing stand laden with pretty toilet boxes like a bird cage, in which ivory canaries trill sweet- iy as each hour begins; easy chairs and rocking chairs to match the watl paper and furniture; a pretty little prie dieu and a wealth of bric-a-brac, completing an effect that is exquisite, dainty and inviting beyond comparison.Connected with this room the young millionairess has another apartment where she writes and paints when she feels called upon to do so.This room was on inspection the other day, says the St.Louis Post-Dispatch.This may account for the succeeding remarks or it may not.Nowhere was there a hint of disorder\u2014there were no shoes lying about or article of clothing or chairs or bed.Everything was as neatly ordered as the most critical visitor could wish.There were two tiny kid slippers peeping out from under the bed, but they seemed part of the artistic finish of everything.\u2014Buffalo Evening News.* He Hesitated and Won.The young man hesitated.struck 1.- \u201cMy dear Miss Hattie,\u201d\u201d he said, \u20181 am going\u2014-\"\u2019 He hesitated agaig.\u201cOh, don\u2019t be in a hurry, Mr.Felix;

wire from New York: The market opened active and excited, with promiscuous buying by commission houses in the same stocks most active yes\" terday, with the Grangers well to the front, and Western Union showing the most gain.An excited opening was expected.in d.c.f., and there was .no disappointment, as the stock on heavy forced sales ran off rapidly before the decline was checked, on sensational scare articles in morning newspapers regarding attacks to be made in Congress, and reports of a petition to have dealings in the stock stopped on the Exchange.Reports from the West contradicted the talk of poor business by the company and estimated the company\u2019s earnings.at present as $2,000,000 per month.The decline seemed to induce realizing in other quarters of the market, and the tone from around eleven o'clock was heavy in Grengers and the general market, with exceptional decline in Manhattan, which \"broke 170.The buying of this stock continues most persistent, and we hear that holders of five sharcs of the present stock will have the privilege of subscribing at par to three shares of the new issue 1t seems fairly certain also that the New York and Northern Road is to share in the prosperity of Manhattan.The same people who have been buyers of these two stocks have also taken up Reading, and are large buyers of it.The bank statement was exceptionably favorable with an increase of some #6,500,- 000 in the surplus reserve, reflecting the steady flow of money from the interior since Jan.1.Money is distinctly easier and commercial paper bid for at 5 per cent.for good double names for 3months or longer.The statement had little effect on the market, which ruled nérvous and unsettled to the close.Po Messrs.Lamontagne, Clarke & Co.,

New York Exchange market: While exchange shows greater firmness the rise has not made gold exports any more probable than was previously the case.The developments of the week seem in fact to tend in the other direction.The Bank of France has been for some weeks past the only European governmental institution which offered a virtual premium for consignments of American specie through the allowance of interest on the amounts from the date of actual shipment.It is now stated that the Paris institution has no farther intention of offering such inducements, and that all offers for gold in this market based upon that understanding have been withdrawn.The statement is also made that a discount will be charged on small American gold coins, which fact is under present circumstances calculated to retard if not to discourage shipments.As an immediate consequence of this action posted rates for sterling exchange were advanced jc to $4.87 to $4.89, while actual business in demand rose from $4.87} to 84.874 to 54.872 to $4.88, the rise being the approximate amount of the difference which the change of conditions abroad made in the ability of bankers to cover sales of sterling here through remittances of specie to the continent.It should, however, noticed that commercial bills are still very scarce, and that fears were excited that transfers of specie would be required at the close of the week to adjust balances.The market on Friday was, however, barely steady at the advance, and no gold was engaged.Messrs.W.L.S.Jackson & Co., foreign exchange brokers, report the market as

Wholesale Markets.The grain market this week has hardly been up to expectations, and although it is brighter than last week, that 1s saying very little.The demand has been fairly good, especially for peas and oats, but we have heard of very few large trausactions in any grade of the market, as most dealers do mot seem disposed to sell if there is any chance of higher prices.In barley there-is not much doing outside of a few small wants, malting grades of which sold at about 48c to 53c.Feed was also quiet, with offerings reported at about 38c to 4le.Wheat is dull locally, but in sympathy with outside markets values are firm.Receipts of wheat this week amounted to 37,225 bushels, against 24,907 bushels for the week previous, and corn, peas and oats | were all heavier than last week, while barley showed a small decrease.We quote values as follows: No.2hard Manitob&.\u2026.$lc @ 83e No.Shard Manitoba.sosscacce te @ Te orn, daty paid.\u201cee a.c c Peas, per 66

of the substantial bulls are steadily increasing.The Northwest is still very short and very bear- .ish, but very nervous, and the quick response of foreign markets to any advance here shows that the

improving, and for the last day or twostock held at about 21c has met with considerable inquiry ; better stock, offering at about 23c, although in fair supply is not wanted.The demand at present centres on dairy.made goods, especially stock of choice quality, which meets with ready sale at about 20c to 22c.Lower grades are not so active, but nevertheléss a small inquiry is noted.Sup.- plies of Western roll are not over large; and as demand is fair good stock is firmly held at about 19c, while rather \u2018inferior grades are quoted at l7c to I8c.Morrisburg and Brockville makes are scarce with values within the range of quotations.Receipts this \u2018week amounted to 1220 packages; against 3631 pkgs for the week previous: We quote values as follows: : Creamery, late make.s+uscs: 21 to

market quickly developed a decide firmness, which it held throughout.Values are strong with best white held at about 1ljc., and best colored at lle.We have heard of several large sales this week, the best part of them based on the above quota: tions.In the Northern States thé feeling is also a strong one, and values have advanced accordingly.In the district of Ingersoll, prices show but little change, and we have heard of very tew sales, but we think values are 10ÿc t3 118.The English markets continue to rise, and to-day the Liverpool market is quoted at 53s 6d, being an advance of 1s 6d in two days.The London market is rather quiet, mostly owing to the fact that holders are unsettled in their views, and although they have been receiving and can receive 54s to 56s, they are holding for higher\u2019 prices.Receipts this week amounted to 60 boxes, againt 172 boxes for the week previous.Eggs.The market for eggs keeps strong, as it has done all through the week, influenced by light supplies and favorable reports from other markets.The demand is as good as can be expected with the prevailing high values, which naturally have a tendency to check the consumption.In strictly fresh stock values are exceedingly high, with goods of this quality 'moving at about 28c to 30c, but stock for boiling purposes is away up, aud cannot be got under 30c to 35c.Choice limed stock is also firm, with sales reported at about 17c to 190.Western limed is somewhat easier, and is available at 144c to 16c.Supplies of good fall held stock are not large, with the demand about in proportion.The feeling in New York is very firm with best stock moving at 35c.- Receipts were none whatever, against two cases for the week previous.We quote values as follows: : Montreal liméd

market very quiet this week, and although the demand is reported to'be very- good the light supplies on hand canuof begin to furnish is.The scarcity at present is generally attributed to the fact that the holiday demand pretty well picked up all the poultry available.Values of course are exceedingly strong on account of the shortage.We hear of sales of turkeys during the latter part of the week at 13c.Chickens are in good demand, and sales are transacted at about quotations.Other grades are scarce and firm.We quote values as follows :\u2014 Turkeys.per Ib C ilito 0 13 Ducks, perlb .010 to 012 Chickens, per 1b 010to 011 Geese, per lb.009to010 Pigeons, per lb.000ee 006 to 008 Ashes.The state of the market has been showing signs of - improvement this week, owing to the fact that receipts are coming in more freely, and as the demand is 1bout sufficient to absord anything that comes in, the situation is more evenly balanced.There is no special change to report in values, first pots selling at about $4.25.Other grades are quiet.Receipts this week amounted to 19 barrels against 10 barrels for the week previous.We quote values as follows: 1 closed at £18.70 Jan.; $19.05 May, \u20181 Pork

pork.The local market in sympathy keeps strong and at the present high values, very little demand is experienced.A few small sales were reported for Cenada short at about $22, but ouiside of that we heard of nothing in the way of transactions.Receipts of dressed hogs have becn exe ceptionally light this week, which gave s chance.for values to keep strong.We heard of males during the week at about $3 40 to $8.75 for car lots, and about $8.73 te 30.00 for jobbing account.We quote values as follows: Dressed hogs.per rascuusse 50 $9.00 Canada short oat Rela bri.sr 2 5 Chicago extra clear, per

\u2014\u2014\u2014y THE TAX QUESTION An Outline of a New Scheme Laid Before Mr.Hall.Present System Denounced as Unfalr\u2014Some Interesting Faets and Figures-The Seheme Impraetieable and Could Not Be Carried in the Legislature, Says the Honorable Treasurer\u2014Labor Men Anxious.On Saturday afternoon at the gov- sroment offices, Bt.Gabriel street, the Hoa.Mr.Hall, provincial treasurer, was interviewed on the tax question by a deputation representing the commercial interests of Montreal.Among those pres- pnt were: E.B.Greenshields, president of the Board of Trade; Edgar Judge, L.Morin, president of the Chambre de Com- .merce; C.P.Hebert, Geo, Hadrill, Walter Paul, Joseph Fortier, A.M.Feather- ston, J.B.C.Lanctot, James Baylis, D.L.Lockerby, J.Lewis.Mr.Hall received them courteously.He would be glad, he id, to receive sug- gestione of improvements on the present tax laws of the province.He had .given the matter a great deal of study and consideration, and had, in the time wt his disposal, done his best.He was \"puoly ome of the many, and had therefore not been able to accomplish all , he had desired.Mr.Greenshields, who spoke as a representative of the Board of Trade, said the great objection to tbe present laws \u2018was the gross discrimination authorized by them, especially between Quebec and \u201c Montreal; In many cases taxes identi- \u201ceal in their nature were 100 per cent more in this city than in Quebec, IL _ there was to be any discrimination between these two cities, it should be in the other direction, since, proportionately to the business done, rent was \u2018much lower in Quebec than here.Ha urged that the tux should be uniform.opposed the taxing of personality and \u2018stocks of corporations and merchandise; \"and was of the opinion that the best method of raising the requisite revenue would be.by \u2018a tax on rentals, care- * fully adjusted.Mr.\u2018Morin having expressed much the \u2018game opinions in French, Mr.Edgar Judge epoke on behalf \u2018of the Corn Exchange.He was Inclined to favor a \u201ctax en fentals graduated so as to im- pos a higher rate on those who carried \u2018mo stocks, \u2018but had merely office room.Mr.James Baylis.on behalf of the citizens\u2019 tax committee, submitted the following Buggestions, as those of the tommittes of khe merchants who recently - organized to oppose the collection of the taxes as at present levied: \u201cI spoak on behalf of the citizens\u2019 tax committee, a deputation of which is now here, and have asked me to present this paper $n their name as the outline of a echeme of taxation that we might present to the eftizens for their approval, \u2018aud to.fhe provinefal itressurer as that which we would recommend for adoption.No scheme which we can devise will be perfect, and we only submit the tollowing as a basis for discussion, out of which we may be able to elaborate something more perfect\u2014but one must \u2018have something to begin with, and it fs no use complaining of what has heen done, if we have not something to suggest ar better and more \u2018acceptable.There, may be momething in the paper startling in its daring and aggressiveness.But all reforms present great innovations and the most startling.in this will be the claim for \u201cno exemptions.\u201d The whisper \u2018has become a voice, and the voice will soom be heard in thunder tones, \u201cNo exemptions,\u201d apd _ those now exempt from taxation would do well to Histen to the voice, ere it becomes a cry for epollation and confiscation.The things that have been, may be again, for history repeats Îteelf, and when justice\u2019 makes a demand, her voice pre- Yails in the end.\u2019 \u201cVox populi, vox Del.\u201d \u201cThe wheels of God grind slow, but they grind small.\u201d \u201cWe therefore! ay it down as & first ptineiple that all who receive Government protection and service should contribute equally to that Government's maintenance, the making and enforcement of law being lor the good of all.This principle strikes at once for the removal and destruction of all exemptions, but it would be wise for those now exempt Jo be leaders in this movement, Protestant and- Catholic alike.The question to be polved is how to make every citi- ven sentribute his fair share, and that the \u201cdead hand\u2019\u2019 no longer paralyze the \u201cworking hand.\u201d Labor aleo is asking eapital to share in all burdens.\u201cWe, as the citizens\u2019 committee, do not agree with the proposition to make the tax upon rentais only, but rather sug- that the tax be universal throughout the province.We look upon the present tax is a move in the right di- tion (the inauguration of direct tax- etion).Our objection has been ils nn- equality and injustice.\u201cWe all wish to see the credit of the province maintained, but that must be allied with honest and economical government, and \u2018we will support a government that will give that.In the tax bill mow denounced, We declare that some of the citizens of Montreal are made to bear sm unequal burden, and that particularly the retail trade ie taxed beyond its power to bear.There is no reason in a rich doctor or lawyer making $20,000 a year being let off with $6, and a poor shopkeeper, barely making a living, charged $60.\u201cThe tax being mude universal, the municipalities should collect it and pay ft at once over to the government, their own assessment rélls be the basis, and that they be allowed a commission for he exponse of doing it, and that author- ty or power \u2018be given to enforce its collebtion.\u201c1st.We suggest that the tax be a pro ome,l evied on all real estate, however held, without any exemption, and.for the present raise mo question upon valuation.\u201c2nd.To equalize proprietor and tenant, the.tax be put also on rental, and where the aswessmest rolls exist, as in the city of Montreal and other cities, that the assessed rentals be taken, and everywhere where the proprietor is oc- rupier, make 5 per Cent upon the valuation as the rent.\u201c8rd.In.virtue of his suffrage tax, every voter a nominal sum, say $1.\u201c4th.Tax the paid-up capital of corporations at the same rate as real estate, which will under this scheme be infinitesimal, and in view of this, and the objection.to the real estate transfer tax, tonsider if \u2018the corporations tax and the tax ou real estate transfers cannot be abolished at Bn early date, the object being that all classes of investment shall be reached equally and equitably.\u201cWe now come to the question as to the amount required to be raised, and the amount thers fs- to raise it upon, and here we are à good deal in the dark.There are & few statistics available, and the illustrations now submitted are to some extent hypothetical, although approximately correct.Outside the cities of Montreal.Quebec, Three Rivers, Bherbrooke,.St.Hyacintbe, Bt.Johns, Levis, Sorel, Huli and St.Henri there am, say, 1,000 municipalities) whose assessment rolls will $300,000 each.1,000 Municipalities at 300,000 each.$300,000,000 Montreal assessment, say.150,000,000 The other 8 cities,

brokers and bankers and employees on large salaries who are not living in rented houses but occupy rooms or board at hotels be reached?We have not been able to ascertain what the real estate transfers tax yield.Nor yet what the comniercial corporations tax yields.We woud suggest for consideration that you insist upon statistics being furnished by the municipalities under penalty.Also a penalty for erroneous valuation.Enact that registrars return value of all mortgages under penalty, \u2018 Any property may be claimed for sale at an advance of 25 per cent.over valuation.This would make neighbors inspectors.The propositions in Mr.Baylis\u2019 address were much too radical for Mr.Hall When ho got his breath aiter the conclusion of the speech he said the achepue was 1impractieable aud could not be carried in the legislature of the country.A universal tax, or a poll tax was utterly impracticable in the present ten- per of the legislature.Similarly 1t Was useless to talk about the abolition of tax exemptions.The Government had been convinced of the absolute necessi4 ty ol additional revenue, and they had but limited powers for using it.One method was to make a pro rata assessment on personal property.This would be dangerous and would he thought result in Montreal being called upon to pay much more than her fair share, which wae the very thing that the merchants were at present complaining of.Another method wae to levy licenses .on traders.This seemed to them the only practicable thing they could do and they have adopted it.He admitted that they had made mistakes in levyinx it, but these would be remedied.They were anxious to levy it with perfedt fairness, and to so perfect it that no one on whom the state had a just claim \u2018Should escape.If he raised the rev: enue by a business tax on rentals he did not see how he could levy less than 71-2 per cent.Thiz remark called forth immediate protests, and there ensued a general discussion.participated in by Mr.Hall and nearly all those present, on the merits ol raising a revenue by a pro cata assessment on rentals.The majority of the deputation seemed to consider five per cent.as quite high enough and while Mr.Hall could not make any pledges for the Government the impression was left by his remarks that he too was in favor of this and would endeavor to make it the basis of the amended tax laws.The case of wealthy people who occupy their own residences and build- inge was diecussed and it was contended that some means should be devised whereby they should be called apon to contribute something to the Exchequer.Mr.Hall was in doubt as to just how these persons could be legally reached, but promised to look more closely into the matter.It was half past six when the liscus- sion, which had begun nearly four hours before, came to & Close.The merchants were favorably impressed with Mr.Hall's apparent willingness to give effec to their wishes.THE LABOR MEN ANXIOUS.Mr.Hall received a deputation from the Central Trades and Labor Council yesterday morning.\u2018Among them \u201cwei Messrs.L.Z .Boudrault, 4.A.Rodier and U.Lafontaine.They wished to ask the Provincial Treasurer when the city amendménts to the charter bill were coming before the House.They wanted to know, so that they could have a deputation in Quebec to watch their interests.They particularly wanted to see the clause with reference to the abolition of the property qualification inserted and if pos- sibte carried.The City Council had adopted a motion supporting this, ns reported in Saturday\u2019s Herald.Mr.Hall informed the deputation that he could not exactly say when the bill would come up for discussion, He, however, promised to let them know \u2018in good time.The deputation thanked him and withdrew,

is understood that the local leaders of the Liberal party intend to protest the election of Mr.Leclair in Terrebonne upon the ground that, after the returning officer had given his receipt for the §200 deposit money, he had no right to refuse the nomination paper of Mr.Bohemier.The case will raise an interesting question in electoral law, and will be watched with much concern by politicians.Mr.Bourassa Will Not Run.A deputation waited on Mr.J.B.Bourassa, the well-known purveyor of Bon- secours market, eight days ago to ask him to allow himself to be put in nomination tor the City Council in oppesition to Ald.Jean- notte.He asked for eight days grace in order to deliberate upon the offer made him, and after a conference with Ald.Jeannotte, who intends to retire after twelve months\u2019 more service, he has decided not to run, but will beat the ward\u2019s disposal at the end of the twelve months.Beauharnois is about to construct water- works at a cost of

it is proposed to introduce into the Quebec Legislature this session.Norman Trenholme opened the proceedings by a short speech, in which he said several proprietors in the municipality thought it desirable that steps be taken to secure good government and prevent unjust taxation.With this end in view this meeting was assembled to look into the new charter, and see that it is properly arranged.The municipal indebtedness of Cote St.Antoine is $500,000 and the assessment roil is 85,000,000, which he thought preity nearly covered by the value of the property.The present taxation is 10 per cent, which is higher in proportion than in the City of Montreal, and this high rate does not cover the cost of fire stations, public parks, a new town hall and many other improvements which have to come.Ir.Trenholme wanted to have it distinet- ly understood that he made no charges whatever against the Council, but what he wanted was that things be looked into and a check put on the heavy expenditure for a time at least.The new charter could not be too sharply looked after.Over $80,000 has been expended for sewers and streets through farm-lands, where houses are long distances from each other, in the west end ward, and the cost of this is borne by the whole town, those in the east end having as inuch to pay as those in the west who are benefited.In the new charter, special attention should be paid to such expenditures as these and those benefited by the improvements should bear the expense.He proposed that in the new charter the town be recouped, by special taxation, for these expenses.He was followed by Mr.Greig, who expressed his opinion that the burden of special improvements should be borne by all, and that this was the only feasible way for conducting the municipal affairs.Mayor Hutchison said that Mr.Tren- holme\u2019s statements were in many respects erroneous.He did not think there was much.complaint on the part of the taxpayers of the Cote about the state of municipal affairs, and he did not think the council should be influenced by a few \u2018\u2018 cranks\u201d who were never satisfied.Then there ensued a lively discussion on the subject of drains, streets and other improvements.Mr.Trenholme objected to'abolishing the commissions in expropriation cases, as this was the only way in which to ascertain the real value of property.The Mayor strongly condemned commissions and instanced a case where two proprietors only had caused an expense to the town of $1200 for lawyers and witnesses.He proposed that instead of commissions two men be appointed to ascertain property values, one by the proprietor and one by the town, and in case of dissatisfaction the case be decided by arbitration.He thought this a perfect system.Ir.Trenholme thought it a perfect system of injustice.Several others addressed the meeting, after which an adjournment to Saturday, the 21st inst., was moved by Mr.Pinkerton and accepted.Among those present were: Mayor Hutchinson, Hon.J.K.Ward, Messrs.James Shearer, Norman McLeod, Thomas Bulmer, E.Tighe, Greig, Rae, Gibb, Murray, Walker, Beckbam, Tucker, Grenier, Aug- ley, Stone, Ross and others, ~ Ald.Rolland in New York.Ald.Rolland arrived Montreal to-morrow morning.Fur Store Burned Out.A fire broke out in the store of Mr, Isidore Boileau, furrier, 1584 Notre Dame street east,

O.Legendre.An invitation was received from the Retail Dry Goods Association to meet them next week, to discuss the matter of early closing, and was accepted.It was decided to send a letter to each member of the Legislature containing copies of resolutions adopted by labor societies and others in favor of the early closing of stores.Enclosed is also a circular letter asking their support.Ît was reported that subscriptions in aid of the work were coming in very satisfactorily.The meeting, which was a very enthusiastic one, closed with the usual notés of thanks, The merchants\u2019

companies.The case is attracting o great deal of attention among theatrical people and sone interesting evidence is expected when the case comes to trial.STAGE AND PLATFORM.The Attractions Which Montreal Managers Promise For This Week.The New York Recorder recently rendered the following judgment on the performance of Mrs.Potter and Mr.Bellew in Zola's widely discussed play, which will be seen at the Academy to-night : Mingled surprise and disappointment were the sentiments provoked by the reappearance of Cora Urquhart Potter and Kyrle Bellew in the much-talked-of \u2018\u201c Therese,\u201d à dramatization of Zola\u2019s morbidly realistic novel, \u2018\u201c\u2019T'herese Raquin.\u201d Surprise at the real excellence of the performance, and disappointment over the total absence of anything approaching the sensational features which it was believed furnished the sole excuse for the reappearance of Mrs.Potter on the local stage.\u201c8 BELLS.\u201d There is every promise of a treat at the Queen\u2019s Theatre this week.The attraction is thus spoken of by an American paper: \u2018The novel scenic mechanical effects are the wonder of the stage craft.In the second act a large ship is wrecked, aud rolls over and over, while three of its passengers scramble for \u2018dear life, which not only delights the audience, but is a \u2018sure cure for the blues.\u201d Bright music and rollicking fun abound throughout the play and the theatre always resounds with merriment.This laughing suceess is in three acts, and ample opportunity is given the Brothers Byrne and their company to display their talents, which are of no common order.\u201d Mr.Thos.Perry, an old and respected manager, has charge of *\u20188 Bells,\u201d and during a conversation last night he said that he could pledge his reputation on all that has been said ot this attraction.\u2018\u201c A DARK SECRET.\u201d Big crowds may be expected at the Theatre Royal this week.The Portland, Me., Press says ofa \u201cDark Secret \u201d : Never in the history of the stage has such a successful attempt at realism been brought before the public.The play deals in melodrama of the kind that while it has a villain he does not still pursue her, but she pursues him, and in the end virtue is triumphant and as usual all ends well.The scenery is not only beautiful, but of the most realistic kind.Most notable are the Old Church at Henley by moonlight, and the scene of the Henley regatta.THE NORDICA-SCALCHI CONCERTS, The most interesting novelty announced for the concerts, Jan.18 and 19, is the pro- duetion here for the first time in concert form of Mascagni\u2019s beautiful opera \u201c\u2018Caval- leria Rusticana.\u201d About a vear and a half ago this opera, by a hitherto unknown composer, was first produced in Italy.Its success was immediate and wonderful.Two of the artists who are to appear here, Mies Campbell and Sig.Del Puente, were in thefirst American performance.The opera is only in one act, and not over an hour in length, yet, it is claimed, that it seems as if all the fire, passion and dramatic melodies of several grand operas were condensed into this short work.he opera will be preceded by a short mise :cellaneous concert of different operatic num- \u2018bers, and the performance will undoubtedly be attended by one of the finest audiences of the season.On the second evening, Thursday, the third act of Gounod\u2019s \u201cFaust\u201d will be given in costume and with proper stage accessories.THE STAR COURSE.To-night\u2019s concert at the Windsor is likely to be a big event.The Lotus Glee Club needs no praise to assure Montrealers that its members are of the best in the land.The humor of the night will be provided by that excellent artist, Mr.Marshall P.Wilder, whose reputation is too well known to need comment.The Windsor should be crowded to-night.AX ENJOYABLE \u2018\u2018 AT HOME.\u201d The Merry Social Club held their second \u201cat home\u2019 on Friday evening in the Queen\u2019s Hall.There were eighty-seven couples in the opening march, which was led by the president, Mr.P.W.Fogarty, followed by the other officers of the club.Dancing was kept until an early hour.SATURDAY POP.The Fraser Hall was well filled on Saturday as usual for the \u2018\u2018pops,\u201d and there is no doubt these entertainments afford relaxation to \u2018the large number of people, Percy Evans, who is well known in the \u2018 artistic coterie as a musical and dramatic critic, was the chief entertainer.He contributed *\u2018Mr.and Mrs.Meddierils experiences\u201d and \u2018A tale of two Uncles,\u201d and \u201cHow a :e:itation should Le dore: Mr.Evans has aimed at entertainmeni that is the very pinnacle of the art of comedy, and has made a very great measure of success, Mr.Arthur Ware mystified the people with his clever card tricks and second sight.Mr.Wadhams gave some mandolin and banjo solos, and Mr.Robinson some comic selections.Miss Riley played the accompaniment, and rendered two piano solos very well, Considering Whom They Will Invite.The Reception and Invitation Committee in connection with the forthcoming carnival of winter sports, held a meeting in the Windsor Hotel on Saturday.The meeting was held with closed doors, but The Herald was informed afterwards, that the

chair, Col.Massey, Col.Bond, W.L.Maltby, W, G.Ross, (i.W.Stepliens, jr., and Geo.L.Cains.Canadian Poultry jn England, The tariff on poultry shipped to the States has caused poultry dealers to turn their attention to the mother country, and one of the first to make the experiment was Mr.Thos.Deery, the well-known dealer of Bonsecours market.Just before Xmas he shipped some 30,000 lbs of turkey and geese, averaging over 12 lbs each, and has now recaived advices inflorming him of their ready sale, which after all expenses netted him.a clear profit of 3 cents per pound.On the.other hand he shipped a large quantity © of the same class of poultry to Boston, which after expenses and.duty had been paid, netted him hardly one per cent.It is needless to say that Mr; Deery feels elated by his English venture, and has his buyers out all over the province picking up the best they can of the feathered tribe.He will ship to England next month some 60,000 lbs.of ducks, turkeys, chickens and fowls, all of the best quality, and looks confidently forward to a good market.ase-Sanborns | ve ÿ The BOSTON, offee quality of the Coffee we sell undef our trade mark is our best advertisement.This

held a meeting the other evening to consider their financial position.The church has been without a settled pastor since last June when the Rev.W.H.Pulsford resigned.For the past few months the Rev.Dr.Barbour of the Congregational College has been acting pastor, but the financial position of the church has not improved.At the meeting referred to above, it was found that on the past twelve month\u2019s income and expenditure there was a deficit of about $2000.This, with a mortgage in the neighborhood of £16,000 on the church is a heavy burden.A resolution was adopted calling on the church to look out immediately for a suitable pastor with a view to settlement.It is thought with a permanent pastor the prospects of the church would become brighter.BREVITIES.A meeting of the stenographers of the Court house will take place Saturday for dis: cussing the advisability of forming an incorporated society.The Canadian Mutual Loan and Investment, Company of Toronto is applying to the Legislature for permission to extend its business to Quebec.The missing boy, Camille Hurtubise, who wandered in his sleep from his home 304 Chenneville street at an early hour on Saturday morning, has been found, and returned to his mother.For selling light bread, Charles Beau- chenes, grocer, 435 Marie Anne street, was fined $10 by the Recorder on Saturday morning.Mr.Beauchenes claimed to have bought the bread from a baker in St.Jean Baptiste ward.Mr.Wm.Barry of Colhorne street died yesterday, at the advanced age of 94 years.Deceased was born in County Cork, Ireland, and was for fifty years a resident of Montreal, forty years of which time he was in the service of the late Sir Hugh Allan.The visiting governors for the present week to the Protestant House of Industry and Refuge and to the Home at Longue Pointe are Messrs.Warden King.The report of the Board of Ou Relief for week ending January 14th a the number of families receiving provisions to be 169, two more than last year.Besides these there were 3} tons coal and 26} cords wood distributed, The Hon.John S.Hall, Q.C., M.P.P.Provincial Treasurer, leaves for Quebec this morning.He says he is anxious to get the estimates before the House and in the hands of the members as soon as possible in order to expedite business.The Notre Dame Hospital ambulance was telephoned for on Saturday atternoon to the Montreal Brewing company for Charles Anderson, an employer, who had fallen off a roof while clearing it of snow.He sustained a fracture of the leg and other injuries.The Papal Zonaves of this ci re j received from General de Chane hy phlet containing tie rules of the Confraternity of the Sacred Heart established by the General at Basse.Motte, Belgium, in inem- ory of his former companions in arms, The Civic Board of Health determined that this season at 1 pure ice [hall find its wa o guard against this sanitar i have been placed -on guard at he ucemen the ice cutting operations, both on the canal and at the Coteau St.Louis quarries A fire in the coffee aud spice mills of C, À.Liffiton & Co, St.Gabriel Locks, at au early hour on Saturda morning caused about $1,500 damages.Tho cause.is s .- posed to have been a spark from a rinder which smouldered during the night The loss was fully covered by insurance ° ° Le Quotidien, of Levis, has just had it office lighted by electricity, and, in it Fy sue of Saturday, pays a compliment to Mr.A.J.Corriveau, of the Canadian Electri al Supply and Manufacturing company vl put in the apparatus and fixtures Thi pues the inauguration of el lighting.David Morrice and officials are t least no im- y into the city.Levin.ectric.lighting in \u2014 A CAPITAL OF $100,000.\u201cThe Gaspesia Railway Company\u201d Ask Ine corporation.Another railway scheme has just been promoted in this city, for the Legislature is to be asked to incorporate ¢\u2018The Gaspesia Railway Company\u201d to construct a railway from a point on the Intercolonial Railway between Sainte}Flavieand St.Octave de Metis, both in the county of Rimouski, to a point at or near Saint Jerome de Matane, and thence to continue and prolong the railway through the county of Rimouski, and the county of Guspe to the Gulf of Saint Law.reuce, at a point terminating in the vicinity of Point Saint Pierre, on the south shore near the mouth of Gaspe Bay.The head office of the company is to be in this city;
