Mr.Pelletier had three bills to present.The first of these was entitled an act to assure a valid discharge to the Government, and to define the persons to whom the Government will pay over & certain part of the price of sale of the Beauport Asylum.The bill was read a first time.Mr.Pelletier's other bills were t0 amend the act respecting industrial schools, and to amend the act re- apecting reformatory schools.Three members then had questions to ask.Mr.Tessier (Rimouski) wanted to know the names of the railway companies which had been sued for the interest due on their subsidies ; what companies still owe interest, and in what position were the proceedings which had been instituted against them.Mr.Hall, in reply, said that it would take him several days to obtain the desired information.Mr.Descarries then desired to know if Mr.George Demers of Quebec had asked the Government for petitions of right to recover £3,000 amount of a certain letter of eredit signed by Mr.Charles Langelier.Mr.Pelletier replie that two such petitions had been asked for.MOXTREAL COURT HOUSE.Mu.Stephens next asked what had been the total amount paid out for the enlargement of the Montreal Court House from the year 1887 to this date, aud what amount was expended each vear.Jn reply Mr.Nantel stated that the amoiit so expended was $640,948.25 distributed as follows : y8i, Pureh:.se of

read a second time and on motion of Hon.Mr.Hall, the House went inte Committee of Supply to cousider the supplementary estimates which had been brought down yesterday.QUELK AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS, The first item considered was the estimate for agriculture, immigration and colonization.In this there appeared an appropriation of 26,500 for agricultural schools, in addition to the regular appropriation of : 83,500.Mr, Stephens objected strongly To this appropriation, which lie said was merely an excuse for giving subsidies to colleges in ikeir vicinity.He then read extracts from 4 letter which he had received from a grntlemanat L'Assomption in reference tothe Agricultural Sched?ut that place.Thisschool costs about $4500 yearly, while the soil of the farm was poor in the extreme.There was only one qualified agricultural professor to teach the pupils, and he could not teach inuch for the lack of material.There was no laboratory or shops of any kind, and only an old bundle of papers in a corner to pass for an apology for wo library.There were in attendance at the date of the letter only four pupils.As the annual expense of the institution was $1560, there would have been a great saving effected if they had been sent to study in Europe.Mr.Stephens then referred to the report of the Commissioner of Agriculture, which shows that the Agricultural School at L'Assomption had eight professors, all of whomn, with one exception, were connected with the L\u2019Assomption Classical College.This gave an average of about two professors for each pupil.On reference to the list of pupils in the report nine were stated to be in attendance.He then referred to the Roberval Agricultural School, which appeared to be an Ursuline monastery and not an agricultural school at all.Mr.Stephens argued that us the annual graut to agricultural schools had evidently been a farce, it | should be discontinued and given to the various agricultural societies throughout the Province.Certainly.he said, the parsimony shown towards these lutter was inexplicable in the light of the large grants made wo the agricultural schools with such insignificant results.« Hon.Mr.Beaubien attempted to defend the course of the (tovernment.and after further discussion the item was passed.At six o'clock the House adjourned.THE ESTIMATES.The estimates for the year ending Jüne30, 1893.were laid on the table yersterday by Treasurer Hall.Following is asunmary : 1883-94, Appropriations Special War rants and Supplementary Estimates, 5 36 31 178 92 3) 973 QU SERSTI

Alfred Marchand, journalist of | Louisville; Thos.Rivard, notary, Louis- Love and K.J.Rexford and G.W.Par.mulee, acvompanied hy several members, waited upon the Premier this afternoon to complain of the loss of reveune for the superior education fund of the province, The matter had been brought to the notice of the previous administration, and Mr, Mercier had promised $1000 yearly to the contingent fund, which amount had been paid for the last year in which he was in power.The deputation accordingly asked: that this amount be allowed aunually by the present Government and also that the inspector of superior schools be made a public officer or at least that he be paid by the Government.A request was then made that the salary of Inspector McHurt be increased to 31,000, as had been promised.It was stated that Mr.McHurt had been induced to accept the position under the impression that his salary would be $1,000 instead of $800.It was also asked that Inspector Parker\u2019s salary be likewise raised to $1,000.The Premier in reply acceded to the requests and promised that the matter would be attended to as soon as Mr.Hall, who was now engaged in preparing his budget, should have the necessary leisure.The details of the Nisters of Charity of Quebec loan and the contract between the Government and the Sœurs Grises in reference to the purchase of Beauport Asylum, resolutions ratifyiug which passed the committee yesterday, are interesting.ln their contract with the nuns the Government virtually purchased Beauport Asylum for the sam of $427,000, distributed over a term of 60 years at annual payments of ( $15,600.At the same time that this peculiar contract was entered into the Government had an offer from the Grey Nuns to take all patients at their building at Point Levis at a cost per patient of $100 a year.Instead of accepting this offer the Government entered into a contract for ten years with the Sisters of Charity of Quebec, whereby they pledged themselves to the annual payment of $18.600, less an allowance of $100 per patient for the care of the insane.At the end of the ten years.unless the contract be renewed by mutual consent the (Government is obliged to purchase the property entire.With the assumption of ownership the Government also assumes the payment of all annuities not then paid in addition to those which fall due in the future.Thus if in, say, two years, the Nuns find themselver unable to carry out their contract, as it is more than probable will be the case, the Government will have tu pay to the vendors the full amount of the annuities.But the most objectionable part of the transaction from a constitutional point of view, isthe total absence of all authorization for the Leyisla- ture to make such contract.As it is the Government have taken in upon themselves to become security for an amount of $18,600 & year during a period of 60 years, which means, in short, an obligation of over $1,000,000.The details of the loan are briefly as follows: There was a nurtgage of 8A%,0u0 on the property of the Beauport Asvlum.It was arranged between the Government and the nuns that the latter should Lorrow the money to pay this mortgage from the Standard Life Insurance Company, wnd that the Govermuent would go security for its payment.The « loan was made at 43 per vent, for SU vears, with the condition that if the nuns failed to pay the half-vearly interest the whole amount would become at once due with 5 per cent.additional to cover the cost.And | for this extraordinary loan (lid the Covern- ment become security.There was no authotizatjon by which the Coverument could become security for a loan, but the difficulty was surmounted by tlie Covern- ment becoming security, nominally, for the purchase of the inovables, Another extravrdinary feature of 1he transaction is the absence of title from the vendors, of whom there were three, Senator Landry, ; Dr, Larue and Mrs.Roy.Senator Landry i declares himself the owner of one-fourth of the property: Dr.Larue of one-sixth, and in his capacity of guardian to his minor children of one-twelfth more, and Mr.Roy has the usufruet of one-third of the balance, the other two-thirds belonging to the heirs of the late Dr.Roy.Thus it huppens that « special Jaw must be passed authorizing the vendors 10 give a complete title, and such bill is nowbe fore the House.In the meantime any, une of the heirs may claim his share of the property, and the Government would have cither to settle with them or spend money in law suits.There was some doubt as to the power of the nuns to make these transactions, and accordingly has again gone security for this power: so that if ever the nuns shonld repudiate their engagement, us was successfully done two vears ago by the nuns of the Sacre Cor, the Government will have a hundred thousand more dollars to pay.This is part of the system of economy practiced by the Government.TARIFF REFORM BILL.Committee of Ways and Means Getting itin Shape.WasuiseroN, Nov, 16.\u2014A call was issued this morning for a full meeting of the Democratic members of the Connnittee on Ways and Means to be held to-morrow, at which it is expected the first draft of the new tariff bill will be considered.Several members of the majority were kept busy to-day listening to arguments und appeals from interested persons who desired to have their views upon certain matters incorpor- uted'into the new hill.Later in the day it was decided to postpone the meeting of the majority members of the committee indefinitely.Mr.Bourke Cockrane, of New York, who has been telegraphed for had not arrived and Mr.Byuum, of Indiana, was unexpectedly called out of the city last night.Both gentlemen may be present to-morrow, but further action will depend upon their imoyements.Chatman Wilson said this afternoon \u201cWe will have work for all the majority members from now on.The sub.comuittee are about ready to report.What day we will get torelher, | cannot say, as everything depends upon all the members being present.\u201d The internal revenue feature of the hill has been in charge of a sub-committee, consisting of Messrs.MeMillin, Bryan and Montgomery.\u2018These gentlemen have so exhaustively considered their subject that they arc understood to be ready to report their conclusions to the full committee at the first meeting.But the internal revenues schedules are so interwoven with the proposed income tax that the question of what shall be done with one de- sends largely upon the fate of the other.It an income tax yielding a revenue of $50,000,000 per annuin be incorporatéd in the bill, the increased internal revenue taxation will be comparatively small, 1f it be decided not to levy an income tax, or if the revenues therefrom be not considerable, material increases in the internal revenue schedules may be safely anticipated.A Generator Disabled.The armature of the Street Railway generator, in the Royal Electric

Financial Relations of the Empire to the Different States\u2014 The Peace Footing.Brrurx, Nov.16.\u2014The Reichstag was opened to-day by His Majesty, Emperor William, in person.In the speech from the throne opening the session, the Emperor said : \u201cWhen in July last I convoked the Reichstag, I expressed my hope that you would not deny me and my high confederates your co-operation in developing the army institutions, which, in the interest of the security of the Enipire, had become necessary.1 am very much pleased to tind that my con- tidence was not deceived and, greeting you to-day, I feel that 1 need to express to the Reichstug the Imperial thanks for its patriotic readiness and for the manifold proofs of warm sympathy of which 1 am pleased to have been the recipient, in vari.vus parts of the Empire.These proofs ure security to me of the satisfaction which the nation feels ut the organization that has been secured in the German army, in which there is a guarantee of protection to the Fatherland, and of the maintenance of peace.\u201cA bill will be laid before the Reichstag referring to the new regulations of the Km- pire\u2019s financial system.In order to cover the needed 1neans hills will be introduced referring to the taxation of tobacco and wine, and raising the revenue taxes.Undoubtedly with your vc-operation we will succeed in solving thése important tasks.With regard to the present situation | will state that the budget has been drawn up with the utmost economy.The expectations, which were nursed when commercial treaties were concluded.with Austria, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland that these treaties would form a starting point for regulating our commercial relations with other States have been realized.Hence treaties with Mpaih, Roumania and Servia, by means of which the exchange of goods will receive steadiness and prosperons development, are submitted for your approval.\u201cIn accordance with the wishes of my confederates, I decided to use my right to introduce against Russia an extraordinary increase of the tax ou imports.The re- veipts will be handed to you without delay.I fully hope that the present negotiations with Russia will lead to a withdrawal of these measures.* Thanks vo the energy the Federal Governments huve exercised, we have succeeded in stamping out the epidemic which, during the past year, claimed such heavy sacritices.In order-to utilize this experience and to formulate repressive measures more lasting- Iv a bill be introduced to secure effect to the resolutions recently adopted by the Dresden anti-cholera Congress.These resolutions will shortly be submitted for your appervael, Edo wine ve your foremost task and common labor with the Federated Government to cuve for the raising of means to cover the increased expense caused by the increased peuce footing of the nrmy.The proposals, which you will receive, will move on a broad basis which will be concurrent with the new regulations of the financial relations of the Empire to its separate members.The financial administration has not vet found a definite solution uf these problems.Past experience, has, however, proved that arrangements between the FEm- pire and single states van no longer be postponed.The Empire's financial system must \u201cbe built up in such manner that the past vacillations in the Fupire demands on single States will be abolished, and their payments and the Empire's return of its surplus to the States must be fixed in such manner that a legally secured share in the Empire's own receipts will be secured to the single States for a previously fixed period.Such an order of things will secure to our Nate organization, in harmony with its Federal character, the undisturbed coopération of the Empire and the single States.Your efforts will he so taxed in a solution of these tasks that the Federal Governments have considered it advisable to otherwise restrict the limits of the proposuls.Germany's foreign relations are unchanged.The country continues in the closest friendship with the allied Powers, who with us follow common peaceful aims.Germany's allies also maintain peaceful relations with all the Powers.\u201d | The Emperor concluded by expressing the hope that with God's aid the blessings of peace would be in the future preserved to Germany.The ceremony of opening the House was the same us usual.While the peaceful scene of opening the session of the Reichstag was proceeding in the White Hall, another scene, which many persons regarded as ominous, was taking place outside the Castle.Inside the Emperor was demanding urmy expenses, while outside detachment after detachment of troops was arriving from the Berlin, Spandau, Charlottenburg and Lichterteld barracks, to take the oath of allegiance to Emperor William.The troops took up positions in the Quundrangle, facing the White Mall.Most of them wore white helmets, and to those in the upper part of the \u2018castle, looking down into the court-yard, it appeared as though there had been a very heavy snow fall.For the first time in the history of the Prussian troops on an oe- casion like this the men carried no rifles, Side arms were the only weapons carried.All the soldiers, officers and men were on foot and each regiment had its Land, Within the hollow square formed by the troops were two altars facing the castle.At the windows stood the Empress and Princess viewing the spectacle.At 12.45 p.m.Emperor William, heading the color company which carried the flags of all the regiments, guards and the several army cerps advanced from the St.George\u2019s court vard into the centre of the square.Thereupon a Protestant and a Catholic Chaplain made short addresses, after which a staff officer read Lhe outh of allegiance to which the brigades responded separately.\u2018Then, as the concluding forinula, the oath was taken separately.The commandant concluded by calling for three cheers for the Fupevor, and then Emperor William spoke to them.Light | He said: You have sworn to me allegi- \u2018unce and you are hound to serve Dime by land or water.lt is a highly important day foryou.Youhavequitte-icivil callings to follow the call of the colors of the Father land.Mans things\u2019 appear strange in your new relations, but observe zeal, fealty and in your duties fear God.Exercise manly discipline and the old Prussian virtues as Cod may dispose.\u201d The populace of Berlin is greatly angered because of Lhe strict measures taken by the police to-day.Among other thivgs forbid.: den tlie public was entrance te the Lust.gartén, which was about the only place | where the ceremony of taking the oath ! could be seen to advantage.CROFTON AT CHICAGO.He is in Jail There, Not Being Able To Furnish

Co.Witness suid the first audit he had anv recollection of .was of was made in March, 1888.The two Connollys, P.Larkin and himself were present at the auditing.He could not say that wu balance was struck at this audit.He remembered that a discussion arose over the giving of 82,000 to Mr.Perley, Government engineer of the Quebec harbor works.This wiwonnt wus set aside and put to expense account.There wus also a discussion on this ocea- sion, it might probably have been on another also, over another $2,000 that Owen E.Murphy had exceeded in an expenditure of 825,000 iu January, 1887.Witnessstated that this amount had heen credited to Murphy's account and charged to the expense account of the firm.This concluded Mr.Osler\u2019s examination and Hon.S.H.Blake then opened his cross- examination.In answer to Mr.Blake's questions witness said he had been in the employ or engaged in business with his brother, Thos.McGreevy, for forty years \u2014-from 1851 to 1891.From the yveur 1851 to 1860 he (witness) was employed as un overseer or foreman over the works of construction carried on by his brother.Some of the contracts taken by Thomas MeGreevy were large.In 1860 he received the contract for constructing the Parliament Buildings; witness became superintendent of this work.Thos.McGreevy was also awarded the contract for building the North Shore Railway.The figure of this contract was between four and five million dollars.Between the years 1851 and 1860 the total amount of the contracts entered into by Thos.Me- Greevy, the work of which was supervised by witness, exceeded eight millions of dollars.Witness testified having entered into an agreement with Thos.Metireevy.He agreed to contribute 30 per cent.of the capital and give the whole of his time to the business.Befors entering into this agreement witness hal intended to tender against Lac- kin, Connolly and Co, on the cross-wall contract.He had intended to make the tender in his own name.Some time afterwards he und his brother dissolved partnership and Thos.Mctireevy entered an action against him and in 1890 received judginent for $54,000.\u201cI'here has heen a hitter feeling between you

lus brother, went to the eleetions in the Quebec district.Witness then stated that he had claimed from his brother, Thes.McGreevy, a commission of five per cent.upon all the money he had handled for him.Not getting the amount of his claim he entered an action against the laiter for $3000, which sum represented about tive per cent.of the $117,- G00 belonging to Thos.Metireevy that had passed®ciirough his hands, Robert MeGrecyy continuing, in reply to Blake, gave some further information in regard to the cross wall tenders and said that while he did uot think the information supplied by Thomas from the departmtnt, was that which should be properly given to him, still it was of no benefit, nor was it used in connection with the tenders.Wit- nexs said that he did not charge 5 per cent.for handling the 858,000, only on the 8117,- Out, He did not remember saving yesterday that he showed the agreement respecting the dredging 10 N.K.Connolly, who, he said, was preseut at the meeting which drew it up.As a matter of fact he did say ves.terday that N.K.Connolly saw it, which would go to show that Connolly did not see it before.Mr.Blake pointed to this as proof of a bad memory.In 1889 witness said there was friction in the firm, and Connolly offered Murphy, who also represented witness, to sell out that 524 shares in all the contracts for 830,000.This was vetoed by the Harbor Commissioners.Consequently the Connollys had to buy out Murphy and witness, for which they paid £70,000, although they had only 574 shares.After answering two or three questions put by Mr.Osler, Mr.Aylesworth examined the witness for a few moments in regard to the $10,000 paid by him to Murphy on behalf of his lrother Thomas.Witness said he was interested in a debt of $5000 towardg which 55000 of the 310,000 went to pay.He could only say that Murphy told himn he paid Thomas the other 35000.John Gallagher was next examined, He was shown the tenders put in for the cross- wall contract with his name attached.He did not remember having signed any of the documents in connection with this matter.Chaules Mctireevy, who was an engineer for the Harbor Cemmissioners during the time the south wall tenders were given out, was the next witness.To Mr.Osler he showed that there was access between Thos.MeCreevy's office up stairs and the Harbor Commissioners down stairs, through a trap door.He was sent by Murphy to Thomas Melreevt's house for the purpose of getting the south wall tenders, which he got and gave to Engineer Perley.This would be on the day they were opened or the day afterwards.He made a copy of the tenders.To Mr.Blake witness said that he was employed on the survey above the graving dock taking soundings.He could not say when he made à copy of the tenders.To Mr.Aylesworth witness said that it was to McGreevy's house, and not to Murphy's, that he went for the tenders.Mr.Kerr then nioved that the depositions taken in the Exchequer Court, being the evidence of W.K.Connolly and Michael Connolly, should be read.\u201chis was objected to by defence, and after argument the Judge said that he would allow the evidence to be read, but that he would reserve a case for the defence on any point they might choose.The Court then adjourned.THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT.A Defeat For the Government on Woman Suffrage.Loxbox, Nov, 16.\u2014The debate on the parish councils or local government bill oe- cupied all the time of the House of Commons this evening.Walter McLaren, Radical, a pronounced woman suffragist, moved that the committee be instructed to insert in the bill a provision enfranchising women who would be entitled if they were men to vote in local government and parliamentary elections.Henry Fowler, president of the Local Covernment Board, opposed for the 1ninis- try Mr.Mclaven\u2019s motion.Women already possessing the right to vote on local affuirs, he said, would have also the right to vote for parish councillors.\u2018The multiplication of amendments threatened tv prolong the debate indefinitely und suffocate the bill.\u2018The House then divided on McLaren\u2019s motion, which was carried by a vote of 147 to 126.The announcement that the Government had been defeated bye majority of 21 was greeted with ironical cheers from, the Unionists and shouts of *\u2018Resign.\u201d Among those voting against the Government were Sir Charles Dilke, Advanced Radical; James Stansfield, Radical, and former President of the Local Government Board; Justin McCarthy, leader of the Anti-Par- nellites; John Leng, Advanced Liberal; John Burns, the labor agitator; Edward Blake, the Irish Nationalist from Canada, and William O'Brien, Anti-Parnellite.The Daily News mildly lectures Mr.Fowler for having led the Government to defeat in the House of Commons last evening.\u201cHe failed to recognize the essential justice of Mr.MeLaren\u2019s position\u201d it savs, \u2018\u2018\u2019Phe Franchise proposal can be effected without

Things to Go So Far.Loxnox, Nov.16.\u2014Owing to the reported irregularities in the management of the Bank of England several cases have occurred where refusals have been given to cash Bank of England notes bearing the autograph of Frank May, late chief cashier of the bank.Mr.May was involved, it is said, in the operations of the firm of Coleman and May, the junior member of which is the son of Mr.May.The firm got into trouble and the governors of the Bank of England decided that their cashier had better retire from their employ.CASHIER MAY IN TROUBLE.Bustox, Nov, 16.\u2014\"The Herald's London correspondent cubles the following regarding the trouble in the Bank of England : Scme days ago it wus publicly announced that Chief Cashier F.May, of the Bank of had resigned his osition after twenty years of service, and would retire on a pension voted by the directors.It now appears that Cashier May not only retires, but his resignation was demanded by the directors and no pension is given him, for the reason that he has involved the Bank in a heavy loss.The cashier was entrusted with almost absolute power in making investments.A short time since the directors found cause to question the soundness of his judgment which was subjecting the Bank to unaccustomed loss, They voted to retire him \u2018on a half pension, After a further igvestigation of the nature of his investments, they decided to retire him peremptorily, and refused to pens sion him.It seems that this officer's son was chairman or leading director in some of the so-called trust companies of which so many have gone to the wall during the last twelve months, revealing a lamentable state of financial unsoundness.In the companies in which his son was so deeply interested the cashier of the Bank of England invested large sums of the bank\u2019s money by virtue of the discretionary power entrusted to him.The collapse of the companies swamped these investineuls of the Bank of England.The amount is not yet definitely known but it is stated to be not less than $1,000,000, and it may possibly be $2,000,000 or $3,000,000.One of my informants, whose word is an authority in this city, says he believes the Bank of Knglaud hus lost several hundred thousand pounds.The cashier has been summarily removed, but the bank probably has no means of proceeding against hi, because there is nu indication of dishonesty on his part, but only of exceeding bad judgment, und it is said he acted within the limits of his authority, but the revelations will come about in a curious way, for the cashier, being discharged, has not a penny to his name, and his creditors are about to proceed against him in the Bankruptcy Court, where a full investigation will be demanded.1 am also informed that an application to bankruptcy will be made this week.The papers are already drawn up.\u2018lle marvel is that the Bank of England permits this, for the result must show how fallible its administration is, and public confidence will be seriously disturbed.Financial men cannot understand why the bank allowed matters tu come to the verge of this dangerous disclosure, Of course, nobody imagines that the Bank of England could be seriously affected, in a purely monetary point of view, by any loss «in which an unfortunate official may have involved it.The Bank is strong enough to withstand many such losses, Loxpox, Nov.17.\u2014The Times this morning in its financial article concerning rumors of irregularities in the management of the Bank of England: *\u2018 Probably we have heard the last of these rumors in London, but as likely as not the uneasiness will remain in places remote from here.Still we think tle bank would do well to make known how small comparatively is the basis on which the reports rested.The majority of city men ix of our opinion, but the minority holding that the least said the soonest mend: ed.The minority has an argueable case, its chief argument being that a declaration trom the bank would be a precedent by which the Bank would be bound whenever rumors of losses \u2018should arise.This is fallacious.First it woald not be a sure precedent as other institutions have not found it so; secondly the present case is a peculiar one and could not.\u201d The Standard says : \u2018\u201cFhe meeting of the bank directors yesterday was protracted.As the story went they discussed whether the resignations of two directors should be accepted.The names were even mentioned, though entirely without official authority.Whatever the intentions of any members may have been it is certain that none actually resigned, \"It would be unseemly, even pernicious, if any did sq at this juncture.\u201d BREVITIES.Samuel Cole, the man who so brutally illtreated his wife a week ago, is still at large.The police are looking for him, but up to the present have been unable to locate him.Coroner McMalion held an inquest at the General Hospital yesterday on the body of a three year old boy named Oscar Tollston.A verdict of \u2018\u2018accidental death due to swal lowing rat poison\u201d was given.The police are looking for three young men, who yesterday morning entered the store of Mrs.Murray, 177 McGill strees, and stole three suits of new clothes.After which they quickly decamped.Mrs.Murray is a cripple, and consequently the thieves got safely away before

Yorkers Like James A.Herne's \u2018*8hore Acres\u2019'\u2014-Many Actors Out of Work~They Hate Drama tio Sohoois.et Nxw York, Nov.15.\u2014 The Silver Shell,\u201d which Mr.and Mra.Kendal produced

departure for London, where bo has taken up his resi- ACENR FROM \u2018\u201cTHE SILVER SHELL.\u201d Gétes The fact that a pair of recognizedly great English actors should have bought a play dealing with a European subject and written by an American was enough to excite interest and to insure in advance a lenfent hearing.But it would be a perversion of the truth to say that \u201cThe Silver Shell\u201d came up to expectations.The first act is dreary and unnecessarily talky and explanatory\u2014in short, prolix.The second act is somewhat better, and the third act is the best; although jt is exceedingly artificial, and the inteudedly strong curtain is worked up to with the refreshing awkwardness of an apparent amateur \u2014altheugh report has it that Mr.Dam is a playwright of some experience.But it is the fourth and last act in which the great letdown occurs.À drama which hasdealt almost exclusively with auarchists, plots to kill the czar, dynamite bombs and secret agents is suddenly transformed into a sort of \u201cLittle Lord Fauntleroy,\u201d in which the old man and young child episode of that famous but rather namby pamby play is closely followed and in some respects even surpassed in stupid appeals to what is sup posed to be sentiment.\u2018The Silver Shell\u201d is said to have been a success in England, although it seems incredible, but I am of the opinion that it will never \u201cgo\u201d with American audiences.Still, who knows?The success of such plays as *\u2018Fedora\u201d naturally had the effect of bringing into existence a host of dramas in which Russian exiles plotted in Paris against the life of the czar.The secret agents of the czar and a woman with more or less of a past were necessary concomitants of these dramatic brain offspring.All of them suggested \u201cFedora,\u201d but none of them ever approached it in point of human interest, virility of treatment or strength of construction.The subject has been such an alluring one to dramatists with more appreciation of their ability than originality that many a frail craft has been launched upon the sea where Sardou\u2019s masterwork was triumphant.Up to this time the result has always been the same.Imperfect equipment has caused the comparison, which was inevitable, to be to the detriment of the imitators with the usual tesult\u2014disaster.It is scarcely to be expected that Mr.Dam could write a better play than Sardou on lines laid down by the great Frenchman, and yet that is just what he seems to have imagined he could do, and just what he has not done.Were It not for the fine acting of the Xendals, articularly Mr.Kendal, \u2018The Silver hell\u201d would come dangerously close to being a flat failure.No matter what Boston and Philadelphia may have thought of James A.Herne's play, \u201cShore Acres,\u201d New York appears to have taken kindly to it, and the notices which oar usually hypercritical critics have given the piece are particularly commendatory in their tone.Whether this will amount to enough to guarantee *\u2018Shore Acres\u201d a lopg life in this city remains to be seen, but it is certain that every one who bas seen it is enthusiastic in its praise.It would be a bard matter to find a more perfect or more wholesome play than \u2018\u201cLiberty Hall,\u201d and yet it drew very small andi- ences to the popular Empire theater, with its fine stock company.Why?Ask the managers, and they will tell you it is be- .MR.HERXNE IN \u201cSHORE ACRES.\u201d cf the public appetite has undergone a change, and that the days of thoroughly wholesome and natural plays, unless they have lots of \u2018\u2018ginger\u201d in them, have gone, pot to return for at least a decade.Upon this hypothesis a short run might be predicted for \u201cShore Acres\u201d in this city.Upon the basis of its popularity with those who have seen it, it ought to be good for as long as the management cares to keep it on.It is difficult te predict in such mat ters, for old Time usually settles it to suit himself anyway.| A statement has been widely published to the effect that there are 8,500 actors st present ont of employment in New York city.This is the vericst nonsense, Although the original assertion was, of course, not based upon intentional mis representation.It is doubtless a fact that the sum total of the names of unemployed stage peoplo registered at the different theatrical agencies will reach 8,500, but as most of these people are entared at three, four or five offices it wiil at once be seen that there are probably less than 1,000 out of work in New York.Even this, however, reveals an alarming eondition of affairs and should prove a warning to ambitious amateurs against apesding their saviræa in tie generally futile task of preparing themselves for a eall- ing which is already so Lorribly overcrowded that experienced people ars unable to obtain engagements at salaries which mean eonstant pinching and in many cases privation.Just now the regulgrs are particularly bitter against theso cailed dramatie schools, which, they say, are year after year dump ; Ang hordes of incompetents upon the market.Asthese amateurs are willing to work for nothing-and-glamour per week, the real actors are frozen out.and to such an extent that many of them have given up the stage and actually taken to work as a means of earning a livelihood.It goes against the grain of the average hamfatter to be as other plain mortals, but oxygen unadulterated with aught more tangible than Kialto dust microbes is not very \u2018\u2019fill- in,\u2019\u201d\u2019 so the dreadful alternative has to be adopted sometimes as a last resort.Let every person who takes Qn interest in the progress of thie American drama keep an eye on Henry Guy Carleton, who can stutter and write as humorously asany man in this country.I have never seen a poor piece of work from his pen, and it almost seems that he is incapable of it, He isan erratic genius, however, and won't work except when he feels like it, and then only in his own way.However he is a very busy man just now.The other day he completed a comedy, and submitted it to Charles Froh- man, who accepted it for John Drew, It will be produced in Boston during the latter part of next month so that everything will be running smonthly by the \u2018ime the comedian reaches this city for his annual engagernent.Mr.Carleton is, I hear, also hard at work on a scrious drama for a stock company, and he is under contract to deliver a play to Nat Goodwin in time for next season.So that he ought to find enough to keep bim busy and earn enough to make him comfortable during the coming year.Guy Carleton is likely some day to surprise most folks by writing the much heralded but still not arrived \u201cgreat American play.\u201d It fs a difficult matter to earn a reputation as a playwright, but it is a mighty useful thing after it has been obtained.Despite the immediate failure and prompt withdrawal of David Belasco's \u201cThe Younger Sen,\u201d Charles Frohman has already signed a contract with the author to have a play ready for the opening of the regular season at the Empire theater in the fall of 1894.It takes more than one good manuscript to earn & reputation, and it takes more than & single poor one to destroy it.Many persons labor under the impression that dramatic authors are very poorly paid for their work, That chis is a great mistake is manifest when it is known that Bronzon Howard, William Gillette, David Belasco MI88 NANCY M\u2019INTOSH.and several others are wealthy men, while Augustus Thomas is well provided with this world's goods, and most of the well known writers for the stage are in receipt of handsome incomes, in most cases several times as great as that of a senator of the United States.\u2018l'here are of course persons who sell a play for a few hundred dollars, or dispose of it for a royalty of $25 or $50 a week, but usually the goods are dear at the price.It is a pleasing sign of the times that farce comedy is on the wane and that present day melodrama is becoming scarce, the survivors in most cases being works of some inherent merit.A prominent New York manager a few days ago told me that he had figures to prove that this is the worst theatrical season this country has had since 1850.He thought this was due to the fact that many outsiders had been induced to go into the business by such phenomenal successes as \u201cShenandoah,\u201d \u201cHeld by the Enemy\u201d and \u201cThe Girl I Left Behind Me,\u201d and that the fallings by the wayside were what all sensible men expected.still the effect on the shows which continued has been disastrous.The same manager, however, admitted that the strong attractions have never known a better season.In other words the people are getting tired of being humbugged, and if the recent financial stringency has brought about this changed condition, it will not have been an unmixed evil, Nancy McIntosh, the American prima donna, who in the leading role of Gilbert and Sullivan\u2019s new opera, \u201cUtopia, Limited,\u2019\u2019 has created a good deal of a furore in London musical circles, is just 23 years of age.Hhe is an amateur athlete in a small way and is a particularly good borsewom- an.She looks more English than American, being a handsome, well formed

opera, which was then on the stocks.Miss McIntosh felt tlattered, but thought of the episode as only à pleasant coipliment, especially as she heard nothing more of it for months.When she had almost forgutten about it, she was one day summoned to sing for Bir Arthur Sullivan and Mr.D'Oyly Carte, with the result that a three Tears\u2019 contract was at once signed.And that is how sweet Nancy

To-day's highest, lowest and closing prices, the number of shares sold, and the net changes from yesterday's closing prices for actual sales were as follows : Sales.High Low Close Chan.650 Pacific.734 73 73} HE 5 Telegraph ca 1 1404 140 180 Street R 1653} 165 166 6 Montreal Cotton.121 121 121 2 Gas 2 Gas.200000 179 3179 179 50 Bell Telephone.140 140 140 25 B'k Montreal, xd.20 20 20 3 Molsons.159 138 159 $1500 Corp.4 p.c.bds.100} 1094 100} t Increase.Total shares sold: 923, and $1500\" bonds, Messrs, Meredith\u201d & O\u2019Brien, stock brokers, 16 St.Sacrament street, report the closing prices on the local stock exchange as follows : Nov.16.Nov, 15, \"lul>lw DESCRIPTION.Canadian Pacifio Railway.734 734) 72 113 DSS Aue iieiinianinenns 7h 8 TH 6 D.5.5.À.pfd.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.| 17 154} 16% 15 Grand Trunk 1st.Wabash, pfd.Conmmercini Cable voi! 3136411 Montreal Jelexraph Co.1414 1402 \"ai 140} Rich and Ont, Nav, CO.64 G2 643] 624 Montréal Street Railway.167 1165 [170 {165 Montrer: Gas Co.1708/175 (180 179% Bell Telephone Co.- STH loyal Electric Co.cere ]eeaedea denen Intürcolonial Coal Co.jp.604.Can N.W, Land Co.vf Montreal Cottor Co.\u2026 127 }110 Donminior Cotton.Co.119 1110 Cunada-Lolored Cotton Co.18475 Merchants MZ Ca.00e coef [BOLL Montredl Loan and Mort, Go.|.j.|\u2026.{.Montreal 4 p.¢.stock.cede fees Cable New.sanasaussuaus vus BANKS, *Mountreal.oviiinnnnn.223 ti 225 a *Outatio.L113 1104313 1107 People's.cere -|l20 ji15 1120 (115 Molsons.c0sesc ces Je [IST (160 1156} *Toronto.FT Ae 235 a 234 Jucques Cartier.[126 116} *Merohants.153 [157 1152 Eastern T'ownships.sees Union.we *Commerce,.Merchants\u2019 Bk.of H'f'x Viebec RE ile Marie.So Hochelaga.116} Nationale.veel BONDS.C.P.R, Land Grant 3s.Canada Central @s.Champlain & St, Law.63 Montreal Cotton 6e.Dominion Cotton 6s.Canada Colored Cotton Royal Klectrio s.Bell \u2018TelephoneCeo.*Ex-dividend.London Stock Exchange.Messrs, MacDougall Bros., stock brokers, 69 St, Francois Xavier street, were cabled the.closing.prices of American stocks in London as follows | | Nov.16/Nov15Nov.14, STOCKS.Aichison.\u2026.once 193 19 Caundia Pacille viernes 70 71 \u2018om Cable.ieee een ae eas ;
