ante-chamber of the City Counci] room was filled to overcrowding yesterday afternoon when the members of the Police Investigation Committee began their labors.Most of those present had anticipated, as was evident from their expectant demeanor, that some startling charges would have been made sgainst individual officers and men connected with the force.They were doomed to disappointment.The whole sitting was taken up with a discussion as to the mode of procedure to be adopted, and when Ald.Prefontaine, who is clearly the leading spirit of the Committee, succeeded MONTREAL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER

investigation to so enquire into all matters pertaining to the discipline and general conduct of all connected with the police organization of this City, that we, 1s taxpayers, may feet when the investigation is closed that your Committee has permitted no obstacle to be placed in the way of a erucial, unrestricued and thoroughly con- J.N.Greexsnienps, Q.C.clusivVe enquiry, to the end that

Lyman, Sons and oO.| Ald.Rainville announced that the Committee were now ready to proceed to business.They would probably take no evidence at that meeting, but would settle the question of procedure.Only one complaint had lic notice intimated that the Committee itself would take such action as it deemed wise.He laid emphasis on the point that they were there as an Investigating Committee, Ald.Rainville\u2014\u201cI understand that our duty is to enquire into two things; first, any personal charges against police officials, when it would be only fair that the complaints should be laid before us first so that we could notify the parties, and secondly we are ready, although the resolution ofthe Council does not go as far as it ought, perhaps, to enquireintothe general administration of the Police Department.But 1 think we ought to expect citizens to lay before us in what particular branch they have complaints to make.\u201d Mr.Weir, for himself, asked for the enquiry into the general administration first.This was easily done, as the department existed and the officials were at hand.Ald.Smith believed they were there to enquire into the working of the departineut in the broadest sense.They were not there to condemn the police force, although such an ides existed, nor to cut off the heads of the whole force.The Committee must be just in every way, but it was due to the public, to the police force, and to the fair name of the city that the investigation should be thorough.He was sorry to hear some people outside talking as if this was a persecution of a Frencn police force by the English population and certain English members of the Council.He would refute this were it not that it was unworthy : L.T.MARECHAL.of denial.The Chief of Police was English, and it was a slur on his French brother.aldermen to say they were not as much interested as the English members in the result of the investigation.Ald.Prefontaine\u2014\u2018\u2018Let us investigate OS BSR nt) A | + Ji oi 4 7.Ail iid; Tl ~~ THE COMMITTEE AT WORK.in having his resolution adopted, it was resolved to adjourn until Wednesday next.The following compose the Citizens Committee : \\ Hon, Senator Murphy, Edgar Judge, Jos, Barsolou, L.B.McCauley, John R.Dougal, R.White, P.P.Martin, ¥.L.Hart.E.L.Bond, D.A.P.Watt, H.La- porte, H.Graham, J.Grenier, James\u2019 O\u2019Brien, W.C.McDonald, R.Reford, Warden King, Hon.G.A.Drummond, F.W.Themas, John Torrance, G.W.Stephens.J.B.Ames, Hon.Secretary, and A.F.Gault, Hon, Treasurer.All the members of the Committee were present, together with a large number of other Aldermen, including Messrs.Penny, Stevenson, Lyall, Costigan, Dupre, Marso- lais, Nolan, Leclerc, Hurtubise, Reneault and Grothe.J.N.Greenshields, Q.C., A.W.Atwater and R.C.Smith represented the newly formed Citizens\u2019 Committee; R.Stanley Weir appeared on behalf of another Committee of citizens; and F.J.Bisaillon, Q.C., declared himself to be the advocate of the police force.Amongst the citizens present were J.I.Tarte, M.P., H.13.Ames, G.W.Parent, J.Rielle, D, R.Barry and J.H.Carson.Chief Hughes was there too, and he was of course the cynosure of the gathering.He glanced furtively around him now and then, and his face several times wrinkled into a sardonic smile.He gazed anxiously at the citizens\u2019 lawyers as one after the other got up to say a few words, and a satisfied air settled upon his countenance after each had finished his remarks.Chief Detective Cullen, Captain Lapointe, Sergeant Proulx, and Detective Campeau were also interested listeners.Rene Bauset, secretary to the Committee, read the minutes of the last meeting.On the motion of Ald.Smith Mr.Bauset was appointed as permanent secretary.\u2018There were five applicants for the post of stenographer, and it was decided to appoint one English and one French.I.Gelinas was, on the motion of Ald, Bru- ret, appointed French stenographer.none of the Aldermen proposing the name of the other applicant for the post.For the office of English stenographer there were three applicants: T.P.Owens, of the Hansard staff; H.S.Stafford, late of the Star, and Mr.Urquhart.Ald.Robert\u2019s motion that Mr.Stafford be appointed was carried, after Owens and Urquhart had been rejected.Mr.Bauset read the following petition, whick had been received : \u201cMontreal, Sept.26th, 1894, \u201cTo the Chairman and Members, Police Investigating Committee, City of Montreal.\u201cGentlemen, \u2014-The necessity for security to life and property and a firm and just ¢xecution of the criminal laws in the interests of socicty, makes it imperative that the police organization of the City should Command public confidence.To this end upon occasions like the present it becomes a matter of supreme importance that the Working methods employed in handling the force and the acts and modes of procedure of the members of the force should be of t been received in writing so far.It was signed by a Mr.Adolphe Brosseau.J.N.Greenshields, Q.C., said that he appeared in conjunction with Messrs.Atwater, R.C.Smith, and Marechal, as representing a committee of citizens, and they were prepared to give the committee such assistance as they could to facilitate the investigation.At the same time they would like to know what the mode of procedure was to be, It was very important to know this.Ald.Rainville\u2014'\u2018As a committee we have not disgussed that, We are simply here to-day to hear complaints.\u201d Mr.Greenshields said it was understood that citizens were to come there with com- R.C.SurrH.laints, which were to be laid before the Bommittec on oath.Ald.Prefontaine understood that the Committee were to consider complaints made in writing, and in regard to verbal complaints, these were to be made to the Comittee in private, and the Committee would decide whether they would hear them or not.R.Stanley Weir said he represented a number of citizens independently of the Citizens\u2019 Committee and was not, therefore, associated with the other legal gentlemen present.His clients acted independently and with a view to see that justico was done to all concerned.The chairman had just intimated that he was ready to hear complaints on the part of citizens.He pointed out that that did not indicate fairly the nature of the enquiry.The Committee was there not only to hear complaints, but to investigate into the general working of the police department.This did not necessitate the laying of formal complaints.As a matter of procedure they might hear complaints first, but the investigation would not be complete without gone into the workings of the Department, The pub- whatever charges may be made against individuals first.The result may guide us in dealing with whatever evidence such officers and mien may offer when we are inquiring into the general working of the force.They may be proved not to be unimpeachable witnesses.\u201d Ald.Ruinville\u2014\u201cI think it would Le better to adjourn until the City Attorney\u2019s opinion has been obtained as to our legal powers as an Investigating Committee.\u201d Ald.McBride and Ald.Brunet dissented froin this.Ald.Prefontaine\u2014\u2018\u2018Let us know if there are any charges to be made against individuals.Rumors and insinuations have been published for the last three months, yet I have heard no specific charges made yet.\u201d Ald.Raiuville\u2014\u2018\u201c If no charges are now made, I shall take it for granted that there are none.\u201d Ald.Smith\u2014*\u2018\u2018 The resolution of the City Council does not say that citizens are obliged to come forward here and formulate specific charges against individuals.We are to make a thorough investigation into the whole police organization.\u201d Mr.Bisaillon\u2014\u2018* We ask those who have any personal charges to make to state them now.Arethere any?We consider these personal charges of very grave moment.At the next meeting we can go into the general charges aguinst the police force and the detective force.\u201d Mr.Greenshields\u2014\u2018 I say, on behalf of my colleagues and myself, that we are not hiere as prosecutors.We have come here to A.W.ATWATER.help this committee to make the investigation into the manner in which the Police Department is at present administered as thorough as possible.\u201d Ald.McBride\u2014*\u2018I move that we invesli- gate the working of the whole force first.\u201d

Thomas Criticizes the Election of Officers, The sixty-first annual meeting of the Ladies\u2019 Benevolent Society was held in the Home, on Berthelet Street, yesterday afternoon.There was a fair attendance of ladies, interested in the growth and development of the good work.and several reverend gentlemen.Rev.G.Osborne Troop, rector of St.Martins, presided.The annual report of the Managing Committee presented by Miss May Urquhart, the Sccretary, was satisfactory and encouraging, The work of the Home has gone ou during the past year without noteworthy incident.The inmates at the beginning of the year numbered 127 persons.There have heen received during the year 29 women, 11 of whom were convalescents, 56 boys, 38 girls.There were discharged 20 women, 24 girls and 33 boys, of these two girls and six boys were removed to the Protestant Orphan Asylum; four girls and seven boys were placed in situations, where they are doing well, giving satisfaction to their employers and earning good wages.The report goes on to say: ¢¢ After many years of faithful and unceasing work on behalf of this Society the Treasurer, Mrs.Wolferstan Thomas, has been succeeded by Miss Smith,the daughter of the late Hon.Judge Smith.Mrs.Wolferstan Thomas has earned and carries with her the grateful thanks of the managing committee, as well as that of all the friends and well wishers of this Society.\u201d Before this report was accepted F.Wolf- erstan Thomas had a few words to say and they were words which were not by any means arranged for on thie day\u2019sprogranune.They related to the appointment of another in Mrs.Thomas\u2019 place after she hed filled that position of trust with most eminent satis fa :tion for about 20 years.He thought it an unheard-of procedure that she should be displaced in this most ungrateful manner.Sie was his wife or he would say more.It was well known that she had devoted a great part of her time to the institution\u2019s needs, and he knew that no body of men could be found, none at all events with whom he had been connected, who would have acted with such infeeling ingratitude.He thought that her position in all matters relating to the board of management had been what it consisteutl should have been in accord with her prinet- les.: He then alluded to several things in the govcrnwent of the institution which he personally saw fit to criticise such as \u201cfa:\u2018astic modes of puvishment among the inmates of the institution\u201d and what was practically gambling in bazaars, raffles, ete., to aise funds for the maintainance of the institution.\u201d He stated that Mrs.Thomas had thought of retiring from the mangement, but before doing so, in his advice had consulted the Bishop of Montreal, who urged her to continue her services as w manager.Advice coming from such ay, bority it is unnecessary to say was acted upon.He said mauy other things in which he pointed out that although he strongly condemned the action of the ladies 1n this matter he wauld continue to\u2019 lend his support to the Home as in the past.He also read a letter addressed to Mrs.Thomas, which stated that it was with pain that the wrilers had heard of Mrs.Thomas\u2019 retirement and hoped that she would continue to interest herself in the iustitution.It was signed by Mrs.R Lindsay, C.A.Hollis, M.A.Sutherland-Smith and the Misses A.B.and J.G.Mclutosh.Mr.Thomas\u2019 statement caused consterna- tioy among the ladies.Nothing like it had ever before occurred during the sixty-one years that the institution had held annual meetings.The treasurer\u2019s report showed the general fund to amount to $7,777.87, and the cost of running to have been 87,673.06.This leaves a balance in hand of $104.81.The Permanent Fund shows receipts of $2,191.88 in the shape of legacies, etc.The Endowment Fund amounts to $2,223.50, On the motion of Rev.Dr.Morton, seconded by Rev.J.F.Renaud, the reports were adopted.In his remarks Mr.Renaud condemned every form of gambling in raising funds for church institutions.The officers are: Mrs.Cramp.First Dircctress : Lady Galt, Second Directress ; Miss Smith, Treasurer, and Miss Urgqubart, Secretary.The Board of Management and otner officers are much the same as last year.The motion proposing them was moved by Mr.F.Wolferstan Thomas, seconded by Rev.8.DP.Rose.Votes of thanks were moved by Rev.E.MeMannis, seconded by Rev.Mr.Renaud, to the oflice bearers of the past year.Prizes were awarded for good conduct and politeness to six boys and three girls, after which the meeting closed with the Benediction.THE REAL TRUTH.La Presse says: \u201cIt is known, perfectly | known in the financial world, aud it is to prevent it in all its nakedness from reaching the ears of the public, that the Star disguises it for some days by clothing it with information which appears to come from well informed people.Now, the real truth is that Hon.Mr.Hall gave in bis résignation because his colleagues, having done better in the French market, were unwilling to ratify the transaction projected between Mr.Hall and Hanson Bothers, brokers at Montreal, acting for English bankers.\u201d HORSE TAMING.Prof.Gleason Gives Another Interests ing Entertainment.Probably one of the largest gatherings that the Victoria Rink has ever held was that of last evening to see Prof.Gleason again most successfully demonstrate his ability to subdue the most unmanageable specimens of the equine race, Several very vicious kickers and runaways were brought under control before the celebrated horseman attempted to conquer the much talked of a Duke de Bourbon,\u201d by whose owner, Mr.W.Minogue, he was challenged on Saturday night last.À wager of fifty dollars depended on the result of Dr.Gleason\u2019s ability to subdue this animal inside of thirty minutes, and the Professor won handily, with five minutes to spare, amidst the plaudits of the spectators, and the inspiring strain of \u2018See che Conquering Hero Comes,\u201d from the band.The Professor was afterwards bounced four times by his admirers, who were legion, and then made a neat speech thanking them for their enthusiasm and support.MARINE INTELLIGENCE, Movements of Ocean Steamships, OBITUARY.ARRIVED OCT.2, \u2014_ ; NAME.DESTINATION.FROM.Paris.October 2.\u2014Victo: Koning, a Empressof

People Killed and Injured\u2014 Many Buildings Wrecked, Little Rock, Ark., Oct.2.\u2014A terrible cyclone struck this city at 5.30 o'clock this evening and almost devastated the business portion of the city.Several people are known to have been killed and injured, and it is feared many others not known have met the same fate, The main portion of the business centre is practically ruined, and the total property loss will probably apprgximate a half million dollars.The cyclone was accompanied by a terri: fic rainstorm and the stocks of goods in the business houses, which were unrcofed, thongh not otherwise wrecked, were de- stroved by water.The storin struck the State penitentiary, which stands on a hill in the western part of the city, with fearful force, destroying the dining room, tearing down the stable and shops, unroofing the the main cell building and demolishing the warden\u2019s office.Several of the convicts were seriously injured, one of whom died an hour afterwards.Down town the lightuing struck the Martin Block, totally wrecking the third floor.A man by the name of Eaton was fatally injured.At Main and Second Streets the tops of several adjacent buildings were pilled up in an indescribable heap.The worst damage, however, was done to property on Markham and Commerce Streets.Nearly every building in that district was unroofed and many are totally wrecked.I'he streets everywliere are filled with tin roofs, electric wires and other wreckage, and it will be several days before the extent of the damage is known.The big cotton warehouse situated at Second and Scott Street, owned by J.H.Bacum, was wrecked.It fell in.CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.Claims of Religious Orders for Repairs to the Buildings They Occupy.The Catholic School Commissioners held their regular {fortnightly meeting last evening.The members found on their table copies of the annual report for the year ending on the 30th of June, 1894.The receipts of the year were $582,423, including the proceeds of the last loan, wlkich gave $88,625, The cash on hand on the 30th of June, amounted to 55,206.There are 12,968 pupils attending the schools assisted by the board and the number of teachers is 164 men and 1Y0 women, The assets are, cstimated At (5097,942 anal the liabilities at $533,601, showing an excess of the former of $164,339.Mr.U.Archambault, the treasurer, further explained that the City Council owes to the Board the full amount of the school tax for 1894.Nevertheless, the members of the Doard feel that they havenot all the money they need.Several of the religious orders who are teaching school are asking for assistance to repair the buildings they occupy and for, other very urgent purposes.A proposition was Puade to.appoint a special committee to decide whether these claims are well founded in equity.Mr.Monk and Ald.Beausoleil did not want to enter into the discussion of these claims for financial reasons.\u2018lt would mesn,\u2019\u2019 said the latter, \u201cthat we would soon have to go to the Legislature for power to increase the school tax, and it would not be wise to do that at present.\u201d Rev.Abbe Leclerc.\u2014'*But it is a case of necessity.Our schools have certainly.been neglected.I might say that some have been practically abandoned for fourteen years.1 Know of one where a thousand dollars is due to the teachers for salary.\u201d Rev, Father Quinlivan concurred in these views, There were schools which have been doing the work of the Board for twenty years, which have been educating the children of those who pay taxes to the Board, and yet they hive been entirely neglected, The ideas of justice were no where, Mr.Monk\u2014tBut if we are to undertake to keep all the schools in repair, it is a matter of $100,000 to be spent within a couple of years.Where are we going to get that money?We have exhausted | our borrowing power and our present reve, enue is barely sufficient to meet existing obligations, It means an increase of the school tax.\u201d ® Action on this matter was deferred until next meeting.Dr.Desjardins reported having seen at the St.Gabriel school no less than 65 children crowded in a class-room which should not have contained over 40.Lt, was against all the laws of hygiene, and.he had no idea that such a condition of affairs could Le uliowrd to exist.If other schools were as crowded it was high time that something should be done.It was resolved to vote $300 to the: St.Gabrie! school to pay for the rental | of a neighboring building Where a number ; of the pupils will find room.lt was also decided that the Board ; would visit the schools in a body, to ascertain their condition.P.J.Ryan appeared before the Board: to suggest that a larger attendance could be secured for the night schools by, mo-: difying the programme of studies.He ; quoted the example of Boston, where no ; less than 5,500 pupils frequent the night schools.Better teachers, a more varied course of studies and a better graduation of classes were among the changes he sug-, gested.| Rev.Canon Bruchesi requested him to put his suggestions in writing.The vexed matter of the Jews taxes came up, and it was resolved to write to the superintendent general of public instruction to know whether the administration of the taxes collected from these people could legally be entrusted to a joint committee of the Protestant and Catholic Boards.CABINETS WILL MEET.British and French Bodies to Meet the Same Day.London, Oct.3.-\u2014The Chronicle says that the summoning of the Cabinet is a serious fact.The meeting of the French Cabinet Council, it adds, has been put forward two days, and the fact that the two Cabinets will meet on the same day is also significant.The Telegraph thinks that the meeting of the Cabinet is mere likely to Le connected with Asian affairs than with French.= \u2014 ANOTHER C(HOLFKRA OUTBREAK Constantinople, Oct.2.\u2014 Cholera has | broken out here.Nothing is known officially of the outbreak, however, although | several deaths are known to have occurred.Washington, D.C., Oct.2\u2014 A brief cablegram received at the State Department, from the United States

INVESTIGATED BY LEXOW, TRIVIAL PUNISHMENT OF POLICE ON SERIOUS CHARGES.Chairman Lexow Considers the Point Proven Against the Force in this Connection.New York, Oct.2.\u2014 Chief Council Goff surprised the Lexow Commission to-day.He subpænæd all the members of the force who had been convicted of clubbing citizens during the past year, but who, for some reason, have retained positions on the force.There are nearly one hundred cases of this character, and almost all of the officers summoned were in attendance thi morning.Many surprising stories of inhumanity were told by the witnesses.A son of Rev.Dr.John Hall, the Presbyterian divine, claimed that he had been forcibly ejected from a station-house because he had gone there and protested against an assault by an officer upon an Italian fruit pedlar.A Columbian College student told of the assaults that the policemen made upon the students while they were building bonfires in a vacant lot to celebrate one of their victories.Thomas Lucca, who looked like he Lad been throygh a threshing machine, followed.His face was swollen and his head was swathed in bandages.He told a story of police brutality.Because he asked Policeman Bernard Dunn if he had caught a thief who had stolen $4 from him, the policeman felled him with a blow.As he ly in the gutter, the policeman clubbed hum about the head until his scalp had to have twenty-seven stitches put in it to patch up his wounds.Then the police man dragged the bleeding man to the station house, where another policeman punched him in the face.He was locked up on the charge of attempting to rescue a prisoner, The witness opencd his shirt and showed his underclothing covered with blood.Policeman Richard 8.Meney was next.He admitted he had pummelled a citizen, John Strohemediel, in his own house.Senator Cantor became excited and loudly demanded that the evidence given in defence of the officer at the trial should be produced.\u201cGive the police a fair show.Are

they threatened to clear the room, Turning to Senator Cantor, he said, curtly : \u201cYour objection is without point.\u201d \u201cThe object of all this is to show,\u201d said Mr.Moss, \u2018\u2018that the Commissioners.believing the men to be guilty, let them off with a fine, instead of dismissing them.\u201d Edward C.Murtagh was another policeman who had an unenviable record for ciui- bing citizens, Henry S.Jacob :»80 had his record raked over.Then Mr.Moss read the records of dismiseals for various causes, which seemed trivial compared to clubbing cases, which were leniently dealt with, Policeman George Lair, of the Bighth Precinct, on May 11, 1892, threw Rose Smith on the floor of a saloon and tried to tear her cheek by inserting his fingers in her mouth, He then drew his pistol and threatened to shoot the woman.The Board found him guilty, and fined him twenty days\u2019 pay.This officer had many other serious charges made against him, yet he is still a member of the force.Policeman William Rohrig acknowledged he had broken a boy\u2019s jaw with a club, He threw his club and it struck the boy.He said it was an accident, but was fined twenty day\u2019s pay.\u2019 Policeman Michael J.Ryan had twisted a citizen\u2019s arm until he screamed with the pain.\u201cYou're a nice policeman,\u201d said Senator Brady to this witness.When five o\u2019clock came the Commission adjourned.The forty policemen waiting were told they would not be needed.Chairman Lexow said the case of policemen clubbing citizens and escaping with a light fine instead of dismissal had been proven, \u2014\u2014 AN IRISH SENSATION.Three Houses Belonging to Marquis of Clanricarde Destroyed.London, Oct.3.\u2014A despatch to the Telegraph from Dublin says: A sensation has been

James J.Corbett, champion of the world : According to all customs and recognized rules of the prize ring, I believe I am entitled to challenge you for the world\u2019s heavyweight championship, I hereby do so in the most business like manner possible by posting $1,000 as a forfeit for you to cover.This money will be allowed to remain up for 30 days and at the end of that period, if you fail to cover it, I believe that I am entitled to the championship without further argument.I have consulted all the best sporting authorities in Am- merica on this point and they all agreed that vou are obliged to fight me or lose the champienship by default.It is not a question of whether! am a middle-weight or welter-weiglht as long as there is a club that stands ready to offer a $25,000 purse and I am willing to comply with all the recognized rules.I am entitled to a fight with you.Incase I become the champion, I hope you will not lower the $10,000 stake money you say you will het on O'Donnell if we are matched.I, however,pray that you will not lose the championship by default, but will go into the ring and defend it like à man, as your predecessor, Johe L.Salli.van, did, who threw up his theatrical en- gagement to fight you.I certainly shall not allow any of my theatrical engagements to interfere with my defence of my honored title if it comes to me.ROBERT FITZSIMMONS, Champion Middle-weight of the World.Robert Fitzsimmons, Esq., New York: In reply to your communication of to-day I desire to state that I um the champion heavy - weight of the world.I won ab title not by defeating middle-weights, Lut by battling with every heavy-weight that stood between myself and John L.Sullivan.I dispute your right to claim a battle with me at the present time, because while you are undoubtedly the best middleweight in the world, your record gives you no - right to a place in my class.I propose to enter the prize ring once more and then retire whether I, win or lose.I waut my next contest to be with the best\u2018map in the world.I do not consider you thht man, and I do not propose to meet you and then after defeating you, be told hy your friends that you are only a middleweight after all.care nothing for the past history of the rings or its rules.My future is in my hands and I do not propose to be told by you or any other man living what I am to do.I consider Steve O\u2019Donnell a\u2018 'hétter man than you are and he will prove it when he meets you.If you accept his challenge and defeat him then you will not have to worry much about securing a contest with me.You say that O'Donnell is a fourth rater, and that you are sincere in your desire to become champion of the world.Then you should remove the only obstacle that stands between you and 1ne, especially when he is so easy.I am prepared to post $5,000 with any reputable man or newspaper in this country to be paid to you in case I refuse, to fight you after you have defeated O'Donnell.Mr.Brady has posted $1,000 as an evidence of O\u2019Donnell\u2019s good faith.You do not expect me, within thirty days, to pay attention to you, for I co not propose to do so, and 1f you are sincere then you had better arrange a match with O'Donnell at once, for the sooner you do the sooner you will open up the chance you seem to desire so much\u2014a meeting with me.JAMES J.CORBETT.Corbett Says Ie\u2019s Disgusted.Haverhill, Mass., Oct.2.\u2014 Champion James J.Corbett, after reading the despatches in the papers concerning nis correspondence with Fitasimmons, saul: \u201cIam disgusted with this whole business and tired of all the fuss, but I propose to hold to my decision not to meet that man Fitz- simmons under any conditions until after he has met O'Donnell and demonstrated his ability to spar in my class.I can be just as stubborn as any one, and I guess some people will discover this before I am through with them.\u201d Jim Hall a Would-be-Champion.Louisville, Xy., October 2.\u2014Jim Hall arrived in Louisville yesterday from Chicago.He read the Associated Press report of the fight proposed between Corhett and Fitz- simmon\u2019s managers in New York and made the following statement: \u201cI am ready to fight either Fitzsinimons or O\u2019Donnell for a side bet of $1,000 and the biggest purse.If Kite gains the championship by default, ! will challenge him at once.I have more claim on him than any one else.I whipped him and he bested me.My money is ready and if either O'Donnell or Fitzsimmons wants to fight.1 will accomodate them.\u201d Hall leaves this evening for Chicago to meet his backers.When asked what he thought of the ultimatum issued by the Olympic Club, he said : \u201cThat concern is trying to work me, but they caunot do it.I have told them what I would do, and I propose sticking to it.I will not be bull-dozed, and, once for all, I say I will not meet Fitzsimmons, and they, or no other concern or individual can force me to alter this decision.(Donnell is good enough for Fitzsimmons.\u201d Costello is Ready.Martin Costello is pleased to know that somebody is anxious to meet

A.A.A.of U.have altered their rule (re tug-of-war), rule 21, pat of the fourth paragraply, toread, \u201cno belt shall be worn by the anchor mah,\u201d thereby making bim assume the same position, and pull the same as the rest of the team, I would like to ask are we right in accepting entries for a pull to come off on the 12th inst., under the old A.A A.of C.rules, or can teams compel us to pull under the new rules, and cancel the old entries already in.An answer through your valuable paper would oblige.W.GOLDSACK.Captain of the challenging team, Royal Scots, Canada.The A.A.A.of C.being in no sense an arbitrary body, there can be little reason to doubt that 1t would not entertain a protest against the use of the old rules in this particular contest.It would be manifestly unfair to expect a team which has been trained under the old rules, in anticipation of the event of the 12th inst, to suddenly adopt the new rules.It may be taken as certain, however, that any matches arranged since the adoption of the new rules will have to le pulled according to their requirements.\u2014 Sporting Editor, Herald.Garth's Team Will be in Et.To the Sporting Editor of the Herald : Garth's light-weight

POLICE ON TRIAL.Continued from page 1.mittee.It did not, he held, give the committee much scope.It would be advisable to ask for broader powers.Ald.Brunet\u2014\u2018\u201cWliat charges are made?\u201d Mr.Weir\u2014\u201cOne of the charges is that the administration of the Police Department 18 defective.\u201d 1 .Ald.Rainville\u2014\u201c\u2018That charge has not been formally made.\u201d + Mr.Weir\u2014*I make it now.You write the citizens, by advertisement, to come here and make charges against the working of the police force, and now that we are here you want to change the order of the investigation mentioned in the Council's resolution.Idon\u2019t think Ald.Frefontaine\u2019s resolution covers the case.\u201d Ald.Prefontaine (laughing)\u2014\u2018\u2018It goes too far, I suppose ?\u201d Mr.Atwater\u2014\u2018 Mr.Weir makes that charge on behalf of his own clients, It has nothing to do with us.It seems to me that the Council's resolution gives the Committee full power to enquire into the gencral working of the police and detective forces.This Committee was appointed by the the Council at the request of the police themselves, because of the charges against them which had been repeatedly made by the presss for a Jong time.The very wording of the Councils resolution recognizes that charges had already been made.We are simply here on behalf of a large number of citizens to help you to make the investigation as thorough as possible.\u201d : R.C.Smith, having read a portion of the Council\u2019s resolution\u2014** I submit that an inquiry restricted by counsel to the laws of evidence or in any other way would not restore that public confidence in the police force which has been so severely shaken.If we are tied down to make accusations against Constable So and So, and to give dates and particulars, the public will be disappointed.The public wants a complete and unrestricted investigation,\u201d Mr.Bisaillon\u2014'* There is no question of limiting proof.But the committee cannot go beyond its powers.\u201d Ald.Rainville \u2014¢¢ 1f no citizen comes forward to make personal charges against any of the officers and uten, that will end that portion of the inquiry, and we shall proceed with the investigation into the general administration of the force.I am convinced that we cannot go on at present without further powers,\u201d Ald.Prefontaine\u2014*I am willing to extend the terms of my resolution.But I declare here, now, on my own responsibility, that most of the charges that 1 havo read were directed rather against individuals than against the general force.It is only due to the force that these charges should be disposed of at once.\u201d Ald.MeBride\u2014*1 asked to have the City Attorney here, and I want to know why he is not here.\u201d 3 There was no reply to this, but the City Attorney did not appear.Mr.Greenshields suggested that the matter be referred to the City Attorney, and if the resolution of Council was not sufficiently broad to permit of witnesses being sworn in or committed for contempt he should draft a proper resolution, have it passed by the Council, and sent back to the Committee.Said Mr.Greenshields emn- phatically: \u201c\u201cWe don\u2019t want to start this thing wrong\u201d Ald.Prefontaine said it could not Le denied thatthe Committee had power to proceed with charges against officers.Let it proceed then.Ald.McBride\u2014*That is all right, but let us get right all through.We wunt a thorough investigation, hut the Chairman says wa cannot get it with this resolution.Let us have a proper resolution now before we start.\u201d Ald, Smith\u2014\u201cThe terms of the Council\u2019s resolution are broad enough to cover everything.\u201d Ald.Prefontaine asked where were the charges.There had been nothing in the papers for three months but charges and insinuations against members of the force.If there was anythimg in the charges let the Committee go ou with them, and if nov | let it proceed to the investigation of the Administration.\u201cEverybody is willing to admit that there is room for improvement, but let us know if the officers of the police force deserve what has been said of them for the last three months, Ald Rainville expressed himself quite willing to accept Mr.Grecnshield\u2019s suggestion.Ald.McBride\u2014*\u201cDo you rule that we cannot goon with a thorough investigation: as announced ?\u2019 Ald.Rainville\u2014I do not rule; 1 only express a doubt.\u201d Ald.McBride\u2014 \u201cI move we adjourn to this day week, and meanwhile let the City Attorney be consulted.\u201d R.C.Smith contended that it was not right to call on any citizen present to formulate specific charges.The Committee knew what the nature of the investigation should be, and it was particularized in the resolution and in the notice to the public.When citizens come there in response to that invitation the Committee had no right to say to them: \u201cYou must tormulate specific charges.\u201d Ald.Rainville\u2014\u2018\u2018I think it is my duty to know if citizens are ready to make specific complaints.If there isno answer I will take it there are none, and we will proceed to the general investigation of the police force.\u201d Ald.McBride\u2014\u201c Didn't I understand you to say we have no power by that resolution of the Council ?\u201d Ald.Rainville\u2014*\u201cI only expressed my doubt.\u201d Mayor Villeneuve had been sitting a silent listener up to this point, but he now rose and spoke for the only time during the sitting, He had with him the letter of August 15 from Chief Hughes asking for a thorough investigation into everything oon- cerning the administration of the police\u2014\u2014 All the members of the Committee chimed in, in chorus, *\u201cWe all want that.\u201d The Mayor continued: \u2018It is his own letter I have before me, and I saw?him yesterday, when he said he would be huppy to have a full invesvigation.\u201d Ald.Robert\u2014\u2018 \u2018We all want it.\u201d Mr.Greenshields wanted a clear and definite answer to his question whether, so long as the Committee was in session, any citizen had the right to prefer a charge if he wished, even if the Committee had entered on the general investigation.Ald.Prefontaine said the Committee could always go on with particular charges first and then proceed to general charges.Ald.Smith\u2014\u201cThen you are realy to go on now with the general inquiry?\u201d There was a lull in the proceedings for five minutes, during which Ald.Prefontaine was drafting a resolution on the mode of procedure.\u2018This resolution read as follows: \u201cThat the following inode of procedure be adopted : First, the committee shall proceed to hear complaints mude in writing or brought as the committee may decide before this committee against individual members of the police of Montreal.Secondly, to hear complaints, wric- ten or verbal, made before said Committee against the administration of the Police Department, or suggestions which way be made to it as regards the remedy to be applied in order to render it more effective,\u201d This resolution called forth a good deal of adverse criticism, Ald.Smith considered that it was for the Chairman to say what the Committee should do each day.The Chairman again asked for specific charges against the force.Mr.Greenshields\u2014** We now indicate the Detective Department as one which should be thoroughly investigated.\u201d Ald.Smith\u2014** Why not take up the question of these robberies and let us make # beginning there ?\u201d Ald.Prefontaine supported his resolution.Some system of procedure must be laid down.Let the Cofimittee establish \u2018now whether there were charges of à serious nature to be nade.Mr.Greenshleids\u2014 \u201cIf the resolution is passed you call for personal charges, nud none being preferred, all opportunity for personal charges is gone.(\u2018No, no.) That is the meaning of the resolution, and if it is not we want to know from Ald.Prefontaine what it does mean If it means that this shall be the procedure from day to day it is all right, but if perchance when yon come to the general investigation we bring up a personal charge we may be confronted with this resolutiion, and told we are too late.We want no misunderstanding.If it means from day to day, it is a matter of no importance, but it would be manifestly unfair and unjust to exclude the public from bringing in a personal charge at any time.\u201d F.J.Bisaillon, Q.C., stated that he had been engaged to represent the Police force.He considered that Ald.Prefontaine\u2019s resolution was a very fair one.A portion of the press had been for three months publishing insinuations and accusations against individual members of the police force; and it would only be simple justice to the officers and men hinted at that these insinuations and accusations should be disposed of as soon as possible.It would be very unfair to keep these hanging over the heads of the individuals sought to be implicated.Ald.McBride\u2014*\u201cIf you pass the resolution you may as well adjourn ut once.\u201d Ald.Rainville\u2014\u201cI am willing to accept it with the understanding that it does not foreclose citizens from laying charges against individuals while the Committee is sitting.\u201d Ald.MeBride-\u2014\u2018 Why uot put that in writing, I am willing to accept an understanding in writing.Ald.Smith Tho police force, through the Chief, has asked for the investigation, aud I don\u2019t think we should be dictated to.We should go ahead now.\u201d Ald.Rainville said he would not have accepted the chairmanship if he thought the Conimittee would be kept so long from looking into the general charges.*\u2018I wish to call for personal charges now, and if none are forthcoming let us procesd to the general investigation.\u201d Mr.Weir\u2014*1Iu fact, we are at the mercy of the Committee.\u201d Ald.Prefontaine \u2014 \u201cYou are at the mercy of the Committee, and you must remember that \u201d Ald.MeBride\u2014\u2018We are here to do a duty, and we will do it.\u201d Ald.Prefontaine\u2014* But we will not Le dictated to.\u201d Mr.Smith said that the lawyers were not there to dictate to but to assist the Committee.That was an invesligat- ing Committee, notfdfa trying Com- wittee, and it was not proposed on his part or that of his colleagues to make any specific churges against any individual.Mr.Weir said that the addition to the resolution limited the inquiry to members of the police torce, but in investiçating the administration of the force it might be necessary to include the Police Comnnittec.In the langh which this caused Ald.Robert was heard to say: \u2018You may be sure they will insist on specific charges.\u201d Ald.Prefontaine had another change in his resolution, This time he struck out the wousls \u2018\u2018accorliag as the Committee may decide,\u201d ani substituted for them, \u2018\u2018nevertheless this resolution shall not be interpreted as beiug a foreclosure against citizens making complaints in writing or verbally.\u201d Mr.Greenshields wanted to know if the committee were trying to depart from the resolution of the Council creating it.Ald.Prefoutaine assured him that ijt could not over-ride the resolution of Council.Ald.Smith proposed an amendment which boiled down the resolution into simple language.It read: \u201cThat the mode of procedure at each sitting of the Committee shall De: first, to take up speritie or other charges against individual members of the police force;

of the latter there was $3760 which had Deen subscribed and had not been taken up, the amount now re ma'ning )in the hands of the ireas- urer *for sale, The actual receipt of rental was $45,225, with a surplus of $5,000 in membership accounts, giving a total of over $50,000.There was still unlet in the building a rental of $5,575 so that if the total offices were let the total income would be $55,000.The estimated cost of running the building was from $45,000 to $46,000, hence the balance in favor was nearly $5,000, when all the offices would be iet.Mr.Judge remarked that he knew of few office buildings in the city that could show a better record.W.W.Ogilvie then outlined the doings of the Council during the past quarter, mentioning the formation of a new bransh assoriation during the year, and that two new branch associations of the Board have been formed, the Metal and Hardware Association, numbering about 50 members, and the Bankers\u2019 Association, which includes most of the banks of this city.The Board was under obligation to Thos.J.Drummond and E, S$, Clouston for their successful efforts with regard to their respective associations.The adopted plan for the harbor improvement and protection from floods was read as follows: It becoming evident that there was a disposition on the part of a small section of the public and some members of the Harbor Board to favor the present errction of works not included in plan No.6, long since adopted and now partially completed the Council unanimously adopted the following Tesolu-, tion: \u201cThat the Council hereby approves and endorses the action taken by its representative on the Harbor Board (Hugh McLennan) and its president (W.W.Ogil- vie) in urging that the Harbor Cemmis- sioners carry to completion plan, No.G before any new works on the harbor are commenced.\u2019\u2019 The desired reduction of canal tolls was again mentioned.The survey of tides and currents in the Gulf was brought up and satisfactorily.reported upon, The inchusion within the port warden\u2019s jurisdiction of vessels trading to the Gulf ports and Newfoundland was announced, Some changes in Customs duties no longer retractive were reported upon, Then came the trade with Australia and the Colonial Conierence at Ottawa, and the manner of entertainment accorded the visitors while here.The Building Committee announced the changes made in the building during the quarter., J.A.Cantlie then reported on the Insolvency Bill Committee, indicating that the bill as it stood was not conducive: to reliable business methods.He showed that to be consistent with the work already done it would be necessary for a He then! es Mr.Ogilvie said that the freight ¢ r Fort William to New York was the san as from Fort William to Montreal, ang that was 633 cents.Mr.Thompson said the rates were not quite the same, as one cent a bushe] was charged for taking grain from Largeg in New York.Mr.Ogilvie said it didn't matter anyway.À line syndicate from New York was buying up 1-3 of the font crop of Manitoba.Mr.McPhee argueq that Canadian Lake vessels could\u2019 not compete Mr.Ogilvie asked if it was generally\u2019 known that Canadian Lake vessels , laid up this summer.Mr.Thompson said the point wag that Canadian steamers traded from Fort wy, liam to Buffalo, instead of to Montrey) but he hoped that this would not he al ways so, if the merchants choose to awaken and compete vigorously.The meeting was concluded by a resolution moved by D.C.Thompson, seconded by Edgar Judge, which was carrieq unanimously, that the Councll of this Board is hereby requested to avail jtsey of the power given it in by-law 33 to ad opt a regulation providing that on and after January lst, 1895, only members of the Branch Associations of the Board shall be entitled to the privilege of the Exchange floor between the hours of 11:39 o'clock a.m.and 1 p.m.; it being under, stood though that such regulation shall permit of any member of the Board passing, at all hours through the Exchange Hall to the Reading Room.Cre LONDON\u2019S LORD MAYOR, London, Oct.2.\u2014The Senior Alderman Sir Joseph Renals, representing the Alders, gate Ward, headed the poll to-day in the voting for a successor to the present Lord Mayor of London, the Right Hon, Georg Robert Tyler.The poll was an unugyy| proceeding and made necessary by the oy.position which developed on Saturday last against the Senior Alderman, who, accor.ing to rotation, should have been electeq without opposition to be the next Log Mayor of London.The opposition to Si Joseph Renals grew out of the fuct that during the post few years he has been à promoter of a number of companies whiun have not paid a dividend, and, as some vf the recent Lord Mayors have also figured ip u not very flattering manner in company romotion, the opposition to Sir Joseph Renals, chiefly upon the part of the Radicals, grew so strong that the contest of Saturday was postponed until to-day, in order that a poll of the London liveryn:en could be taken.PERSONAL.W.J.Spicer, General Manager of the Chicago and G.T.R.at Chicago, is at the Windsor.He is accompanied by Geo.B, Reeve, Tratfic Manager of the same line, Capt.J.T.Towers, St.Catherines, is at the Hall.R.A.Starr, Ottawa, is at the Hall.Sir Casimer and Lady Gzowski will arrive at the Windsor this evening.Arthur White, general freight agent of the G.T.R., Toronto, will arrive at the Windsor this evening.Cattle For France.The first consignment of 400 Canadian cattle per steamship Bruxelles, arrived today at St.Malo, France, The lut were landed in good condition, and are expected to turn over a fair profit.The next shipment of 450 head will leave this port on the 5th instant on theSS.An.vers bound for the same port.Three other steamers will leave this port with consignments of 400 Northwest cattle each:before the season closes.During the winter the steamers will leave from Halifax.J.C, Murray has received the contract to fit up this line of steamers with cattle berths.Night Schools.Last evening was the first to receive ap plications from those who intend to attend the free evening schools; 20 applications ar required to afithorize the opening of a class, and a report of the applications received must be sent to the Government this week.At the various schools visited it was reported that while the number of appli cants on the first night is perhaps a little below that of last year, those who do apply seem to be more in earnest.The average age of applicants is about 15 years of age.Which Mr.Campbell ?A gentleman who gave the name of Mr, Campbell was arrested last eveniug at the Bonaventure Depot.The indirect cause was the demand of a gateman to get his tickets the immediate couse was a slight altercation beginning in wordy warfare,and ending in an uwuwilling arrest by the policeman on duty at the depot.Mr.Campbell, who appeared a perfect gentleman, was immediately bailed out by his brother.McGill Games.At æmeeting of the Graduate Society of McGill Uuiversity last evening which was very well attended.The eommittee re commehded that a cup shall be given as a trophy to the Faculty of the students making the highest number of points, in the McGill annual games.Those taking first place in any event will count five points, second three points and third one point.PROVINCE OF QUEBEC, DISTRICT, or Montreal.No.2301, Superior Court.Olivier Salvas, of Montreal, plaintiff, vs.Louis Perron and Charles Lafond, of the same plnce, defendants.On the 12th day of October instant, at nine of the clock in the foreroon, at the here- representative of the Board of Trade Council to be present at the neXt sesslon of Pamtiament when the bill should, come tofore business place of tho said defendants, Noe.717 St.Lawrence Street, in the City 0 i Montreal, willbe sold by authority of Justice, ! allthe goods and chattels of the said defendant, seized in this cause, consisting of a stock 0 up.| groceries, refrigerators, shop fixtures and one He thought that a vigorous effort should be mado to have the clause that was thrown out last session re-inserted.location of claims and the opposition by bankers.committee on Provincial legislation.introduced to the Board's attention the | said defendunts,, No of!

THE GENERAL PUBLIC, JOHN DREW SCORING THE SEASON'S SUCCESS IN NEW YORK.Comic Opera Doing Well in New York \u2014The Latest Comedy, Tho most glaring evidence of the hope- fess inability of the New York theater go- {ng public to appreciate a really good and quiet plece of work is to bo found in the comparatively scant patronago accorded Mr.Richard Mansfleld at the Herald Equare theater in Bernard Shaw's satirical comedy, \u2018\u2018Arms and the Man.\u201d\u201d The play has practically no plet.The story is like the hair in the mortar\u2014barely enough to make it hang together.But it is not calculated to appeal for criticism on the score Of consecutiveness or perfection of construction.It is made up of a series of delicate but none the less forceful eatircs on all sorts of humbuggery to which we daily make obeisance and of which nearly all of us are guilty.These \u2018\u2018bits\u2019\u2019 are strung together in a charming and excep- SCENE FROM \u2018ARMS AND THE MAN.\u201d tionzlly skillful manner.The dialogue of \u2018\u2018 Arms and the Man\u2019 is crisp, direct, entertaining and always witty, with usually an unobtrusive half tone of sarcasm to make tho picture stand out the brighter.Mr.Mansficld in \u2018Arms and the Man\u2019 is seen as Captain Bluntschli, a Swiss officer who is supposed to bo a hero, but who will run at the rustle of a picce of thistle down.It is a part which does not permit of the display of what the melodramatic managers would call \u2018strong work,'' but it does require a great deal of finesso and subtlety to make it tolerable.When it is stated that Mr.Mansfield is perfect in the character, some idea of the excellenco of his acting may bo formed.The supporting company this year is better than usual, and tho production, comparatively trifiing though it would appear to be, has been made with the conscientious attention to detail which characterizes all of Mr.Mansfleld\u2019s offerings to the public.It really seems that there would be enough lovers of what is best in art in this city to furnish a home for a stock company hoaded by Richard Mansfield.\u2019 \u201cA Galety Girl,\u201d direct from London end en route to Australia, is at Dals\u201ds Landsome theater, whero it is packing tho louse to the doors at every performance.This must be gratifying to Goorgo Ed- wardes, the proprietor of the piece, and Augustin Daly, owner of the house, but it is enough to make the old timers weep.Daly\u2019s has lost its exclusiveness.It is no longer solely the home of all that is best in the drama.Anything bearing the stamp of reasonable respectability which is also likely to pay can get into that playhouse now.Mr.Daly's own company and his magnificent, accurate and always thoroughly artistio productions had lost their potency with the New York patrons of tho drama, it would be easy to find an explanation for this chango of policy, but that is not the case.It is to bo hoped that Mr.Daly will hereafter do as has been in- timatod\u2014play his company six months in his New York theater and six months at bis house in London.But to return to \u2018\u2018A Galety Girl.\u201d It is a {lake of semiinusical froth interpreted Ly a company of clever men and women, the latter good looking, asa rule, and clad in somo scenes in perfectly proper costumes, which are nevertheless extremely risque.This may appear to be an anomaly, but it is fact.The suggestiveness of tho costumes is destroyed by the neat manner in which they.are worn.The dialogue of FA Gaiety, Girl\u201d contains much that is bright, and the musio is always pretty because the composer is evidently blessed with excellent memory and the ability to mako use of it.\u201cThe New Boy,\u2019 a farce \u201cby Arthur Law,' ia tho current attraction at the Standard theater.Tho story of **The New Boy'\u2019 deals with the adventures of a very small man who is married to a very large Woman.An in£oritance and all that sort of thing make it necessary for them to dissemblo.They always dissemble in Eng- Msh farces.The husband is passed off as tho new hoy at tho boarding school, Natu- tally ho goes, through a series of very thrilling experiences at tho hands of his companions, who are not aware of the fact that ho is old enough to bo their father, etc.'Thero is, of course, an alleged side plat concerning shares of the \u2018Dry Cham- wagne\u2019\u2019 company, with which a supposedly suave villain, Felix Roach, has a good deal to do, but it is not a bit funny and might as wcll be omitted.Take the lines of the above \u2018plot\u2019 and even some of tho broader details.It is an old, old friend.In other words, it is Wills\u2019 charmingly written little story, \u201cVice Versa,\u201d combined with another work by tlie same author.\u201cLittle Puck,\u201d in which Frank Daniels starred for years, was taken from Wills\u2019 books, but due credit was always given on the programme.\u201cTho New Boy,\u2019\u2019 inmy opinion, Is not near as good a farce as \u2018\u2018Little Puck.\u201d This is probably because the material is now more worn.The thing, however, which is inoxplicable is how an astute manager like Charles Frohman could be deluded into permitting such a thing to be advertised as a novelty and boomed in advance out of all proportion to its merits, *\u2018Charley\u2019s Aunt\u2019 was new to us, and it was the flrst of its kind in this country.That is why it was such a great success.\u2018The New Boy\u2019\u2019 may also prove to be n winner, but it will not be as the Tesult of its merite.Augustus Thomas\u2019 \u2018New Blood, \u2019 which \u2018appeared to have met with some favor in Chicago during the summer, is tho offering at Palmer's theater.Here it has fallen fat as a pancake.Every one is advising Thomas to stick to character comedies like % Alabama\u2019 and \u2018In Mizzoura.\u201d Mr Thomas is a very ablo as he is a very fortunate playwright.It makes little differ ence to him whethers \u2018New Blood\u2019 suc- Coeds or fails at Palmer's for tho reason that the play which is to follow it, \u201cThe Capital, * is also from his pen.\u201cThe Capital,\u201d I hear, doals in an interesting manner with lifo in Washington and rather exposes to ridicule semo of the hollowness of that city of falso protenses.There is a general impression here that The Capital\u2019 is to create a sensation and that it will prove the bit of Thomas\u2019 life.According to Frederick Edward McKay, ¢ bright young feuilletonist, most of the andsome ladies of the stage

opera has had a big boom in this ° country, and the men who concoct this form of entertainment are particularly busy and correspondingly happy.Charles A.Byrne and Louis Harrison, the co-li- brettists of \u201cThe Isle cf Champagne,\u201d \u201cVenus and \u201cPrincess Nicotine,\u201d have just completed another book, which is called \u2018The Bangdoolah of Swat.\u201d J.Cheever Goodwin, whose two works, \u201cThe Devil's Deputy\u2019 and \u201cDr.Syntax,\u2019 are now on view in Broadway theaters, was obliged by overwork, as Is well known, to give up his contract to do \u201cThe little Trooper,\u201d and now I hear that after a very short rest he is to begin another libretto for a well known star.Harry B.Smith has only recently finished ** Rob Roy,\u2019 but has, I hear, started on another comic opera already, and most of the other well known librettists arc also very busy, though not to such an extent as the composers.Regis nald de Koven has just laid down his pen on the score of '*Rob Foy,\u201d bus his time iz pre-empted for at least a year or two.W.W.Furst will follow \u201cThe Little Trooper,\u201d\u2019 so it is said, with somethipg more ambitious before the close of

Ludwig Englander is finishing a score for Thomas Q.Scabrooke and another, Cleopatra,\u201d for Lillian Russell; Richard Stahl will, T hear, soon emerge from his retirement at Hot Springs, caused by

split with Gilbert, has mustered up courage to do an operetta.126 saccèss of the present New York theatrical scasen so far is Henry Arthur Jones\u2019 play, \u2018The Baublé Shop,\u201d now running at the Empire theater, with Joha Drew and his company as the interpreters.\u201cThe Baublo Shop\u2019\u2019 tells an interesting story in an entertaining and logical manner.There are no forced situations, and tho plot unfolds as naturally as the petals of a rose.Viscount Clivebrooke is the leader at his party in parliament, and as his party happens to bo in power at the time he is a very important political figure.His most bitter rival in the house is Mr.Stoach, a coarse fellow, who, as the result shows, i8 willing to go to any lengths to humiliate Clivebrooke.Clivebrooke meocts Jessie Keber, the daughter of the proprio MISS ADAMS AND MR.DREW IN \u201cTHE BAUBLRK SHOP.\u201d tor of a toy store, who ekes out an existence from the sale of the trifles which hs invents.The parliamentary leader is fascinated by Jessie and assiduously cultivates her acquaintance, though not with the most honorable intentions.As he comes to know her, however, tho purity , of her character, her ingenuousness and her confidence in his honor gradually cause him to realize how despicable he had intended to be, and he really falls in ' love with her, offering ber marriage.She accepts.Meanwhile Stoach has caused Clivebrooke to he followed, and at midnight surprises him with Jessic in the toy- shop.Hoe threatens to expose his rival in parliament and does so.Clivebrooke was set down for a specch on public morality that day, but was howled down, and his party suffered a crushing defeat.Ho resigns his seat, and after the usual difficul- tics have been overcome marries his sweetheart, Jessie Keber.As Viscount Clivebrook Mr.John Drow bad a thoroughly serious role, for which many persons affect to believe he is unsuited, but which he performed like the genuine artist that he is.Hiscarnestness, sincerity and polish made up a perfect mo- salc, with not tho smallost bit omitted.His work in \u2018* The Bauble Shop\u2019 also dern- ' onstrated that he has not those narrow limitations which most people are wont to attribute to men whom they regard as farceurs, or, at the best, light comedians.Mr.Drew\u2019s stage presence is excellent, and it is to bo hoped that his manager will afford him the opportunity hercafter to be scon in vehicles more serious than such frothy trifies as \u201cThe Masked Ball.\u201d\u201d Miss Maud Adams as Jessie Kober added to the excellent reputation which she has built upon the foundation of her dainty acting in \u201cThe Masked Ball.\u201d She possesses discrimination and strong dramatic power.It is difficult to imagine how her conception of the role of Jessie Kober could be irnproved upon.This young actress\u2019 rise has beerfalmost phenomenal in its rapidity and steadiness, and I am one of those who expect to find in her within the next few years one of the most successful stars on the American stage.The other members of Mr.Drew's company are thoroughly competent, the most notable sketch being contributed by Mr.J.E.Dodson, for several ycars with the Kendals, as the inventive but drunken toy dealer and inventor, Matthew Keber, who unwittingly almost ruins his daughter\u2019s reputation.Francis Wilson, like every actor who has aggressive physical peculiafitics, is ag | ardently admired by one set of theater goers as he is sneered at by another.Each side is firmly set in its convictions, and therefore any discussion of Mr.Wilson's methods is time wasted.He is now appearing nightly with his company in J Cheever Goodwin and E.J akobowski\u2019s comic opera, \u2018The Dovil's Deputy, \u201d atpAb- boy\u2019s theater.At the beginning it may be said that \u2018\u2018\u2019Tho Devils Deputy\" is 8 genuine comic opera.There is no horseplay in it and very little of Mr.Goodwin's slang, although ony of the vernacular in such a work is too much.The story is not elaborate or intricate, but 16 LA consecutive, MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1894.and TNAU IS IOSUCGO MUFO Cris woe oo om

A LATE WRINKLEIS THE, SUMMER GIRL\u2019S DRESS SUIT CASE.Bachelor girls continue to rob poor man of his scant possessions.The last wrinkle wrenched from the dude is the dress suit case.Almost any hour in the long summer day girls may be seen running in and out of town with sole leather or hogskin case in one hand and a cane shaped umbrella in the other.They areoff to or back from a sail, a boat club concert, a country dance, a summer resort hop or a clambake, and the case contains the proper outfit\u2014 duck or sail cloth for the water, taffeta for the musicale or something indescribable for the ballroom, with shoes and gloves to match.There is no telling who started the dress suit case fashion.Credit is divided between coaching parties and country weddings.Even with special trains and private oars it is hard to wear a drawing room toilet on the journey and escapo anneyance.If accidents do not happen, there is apt to be prolonged anxiety, and that is exhausting.Professional entertainers, who fiddle, warble, read fortunes in cards, stars and hands and charlatans who go to private houses purporting to conduct conversa- tious between the dead and the credulous have long carried valises, but this is the first time in the history of trunk: making that girls have handled dress suit oases.There is no sex in the innovation.Prices range from $5 to $40, according to the leather used.The design is uniform, containing minimum space for a shirt, waistcoat, dresscoat and trousers.It is exceptional to find anything but canvas lining or even a pocket big enough for a comb.A few havo telescoped covers, but they are too clumsy to te popular.The trimmings are of the simplest design.A very good case made of cowhide sells for $18.The $12 article is not bad, but cheaper goods are heavy to carry and ugly to look at.Fabrics of this season lend themselves to close packing.The crushable silks, crepons and crinkled silk and mull do up and undo as nicely as linen.Parallel to fashion runs the business enterprise.Women who sell books, jewelry, corscts, trimming and dressmakers\u2019 supplies for a living carry their samples in a dress suit case.The butler and hall men have a good opinion of a dress suit case and frequenfly grant privileges that have to be speedily withdrawn.Still another article has Leen plundered from his highnoss\u2014the key chain, latoh key, guarding ring and all.Instead of fastening it to a brass button and wearing it in her pocket the guard is put in a button of her waistcoat and the keys worn where tho good shepherds carried the stray lamb, or else a buttonhole is worked in the skirt band, and the chain dangles at the side after the manner of tho time honored \u2018\u2018huzzy.\u2019\u2019 Only $40 or $50 gold chains are worn this way.Silver chains hang inside the skirt, pendent from the belt.\u2014New Yerk World.A Grand Feature, 0f Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla is that while it purifies the blood and sends it coursing through the veins full of richness and health, it also imparts new life and vigor to every function of the body.Hence the expression so often heard: tt Hood's Sarsaparilla made a new person of me.\u201d It overcomes that tired feeling so common now.Hoods\u2019 Pills are purely vegetable, perfectly, harmless, always reliable and bene- BIRTHS, BELL\u2014On September 28, at 187 Cadicux St., the wife of J.W.Bell, of a daughter.239 FLYNN\u2014On September 29, at No.3 McCord St., the wife of P.J.Flynn, of a daughter.239 McEWEN\u2014At 12a Park Ave., on September 28.à son to Mr.and Mrs, A.McEwen.239 MARRIAGES.AITCHISON -

if not, then probably all it can realize will be omething handsome in the way of experience.And experience teaches wise men as well as fools.It is not likely that there is any power to stop the transfer ot the shares of any Company from one holder to another.Therefore the shares of the minor Company may be found registered in the names of persons interested in'the major Company at any time.Of course the Consumers Company does not by that process merge its corporate existence with that of the old Company, nor does it become defunet; but for reasons which will be so well understood that they need not be described a sort of paralysis will seem to affect the former, aud a corresponding measure of self-satis- faction and sense of security will affect the latter.At this stage of the movement there will be found to be one solitary and independent gas company; and if it were to speak out it would, in answer to the anxious and perhaps from its point of view impertinent enquirer, submit the well known interrogatory: **Well, what are you going to do about it?\u201d What are you going to do about it, or rather what can you do about it, is the problem that the citizen has to place before the City Council.Candidly we doubt if they can do anything, excepting as we huve already stated, Supposing the Corporation should order the Consumers\u2019 Company to take up their mains and to got out of town?That would be palpable folly for a score of evident reasons, the strongest of which would be that the citizens affected would not consent to be deprived of gas because of a difficulty between the Gas Company and the Corporation.That recourse would clearly be a failure, but there yet remained the plan of call ing upon the Company go on and lay their mains and supply gas.Snb- ject, however, to the paralysis already mentioned, let it bo anticipated that no more mains would be laid, and that the supply of gas would be unsatisfactory after some one or more of the many ways of \u2018how not to do it,\u2019 with which £as experts are supposed to be familiar, it might turn out that the contract of making the Company carry out ita contract was by long odds the harder of thetwo.The law maybeallinfavor of the municipal corporation, just as the law of industrial economy makes it the obliga\" tion of a horse to pull his load.But the law does not provide for the untoward contingency of baulkiness in a horse or of disability in a gas company.The forcing of the Gas Company will be the counterpart of taking a horse to water; the point is soon reached, there being unwillingness in either case, when force becomes impotent.To our view the City should not spend time and money in the vain attempt to recover spilt milk.Let it profit Ly experience and resolve to make a better job of it next time.Tee THE VAGARIES OF MUNICIPAL CRITICS.The world is prolitic of fools, and will be so long as it continues to be largely a fool's paradise.It is, therefore, a facile deduction that those who with avidity every sional idea, seize ill-considered sensa- especially it it be in the form of startling interrogatory, and accept it as embodying all the elements of essential Philosophy, are likely to have not a few, of a sort perhaps, to listen to their lunaticisms.Is marriage a failure?Is fife worth living?What, were Christ to visit Chicago?with many other flip pant.triflings upon the margin of great issues, have led a contemporary to lean to the view that with us \u201cmunicipal government has broken down.\u201d is supported by quotations from Bryce\u2019s \u201cAmerican Commonwealth,\u2019 observations upon Chicago by, that tem- perate and non-sensational critic, Mr.Stead.What Bryce said with New York in view, and what it served Stead\u2019s purpose to say of Chicago, do not go to make much of a case against municipal government.Neîther is there, we trust, anything in the way of irregularity in Mentreal of sufficient magnitude or demerit to justify its classification with New York and Chicago.If municipal government with us, which is the perfection of form, is in any respect a failure in practice, it is largely due more to popular weaknesses and error than to the tendency to aldermanic vice.The man who is chosen from amongst his neighbors because of acknowledged honesty, intelligence and ability, to represent them in the municipal Council does not usually become a bood- ler, nor does he persist in doing everything the wrong way, as soon as he takes his seat.The probability is that he gives honest, faithful, and able service to the public.His knowledge of affairs increases with his opportunities and his experience; and that very knowledge thus gained so directs him sometimes that he does things in a way that to some who have not his knowledge may appear to be entirely wrong.There is no subject upon which the ratepayer is so ready to form an opinion as upon those matters determined at the City Hall; and he who knows least of what he may be talking about, often expresses his opinions in the most dogmatic fashion.It is commonly correct to say of the average ratepayer when he is \u201ckicking,\u201d to use a vulgarism, that he does not know what he is kicking about.It is a common enough thing to elect good men; but unfortunately it is almost equally common to abuse them so early and so promptly after electing them, as though they were elected in order that they might be abused.Those who know say feelingly that no sooner does an alderman succeed in making himself really useful in his sphere, than he is set upon and with deliberate purpose on the part of some and with thoughtlessness and ignorance on the part of others, maligned until that usefulness is destroyed.That there are aldermen who prostitute their positions for personal gain to the prejudice of their trust is not to Le disputed; but they are an exception to the rule no matter what the ignorant, and self-righteous may say; and they are not a sufficiently numerous exception to give a sinister character, as a matter of course, to either the municipal representative or the municipal institution.Were the press or the electorate to do their part as well as the municipal system affords the opportunity, the occupation of the municipal crank would be gone.CONSERVATIVE FINANCING IN QUEBEC.The four million dollar loan floated in 1801 by Hon, Mr.Shehyn, then Provincial Treasurer, was b®ne which in the opinion of Hon.Mr, Hall who succeeded to the Treasurership \u2018\u2019no business man would justify.\u201d The iniquities of this loan formed the subject of some very entertaining stereoption views by Mr.Hall; and Conservative speakers generally used it as a text for sermons on the incapacity of the treasurer of the Mercier administration.Accompanying these criticisms were prophecies of the improvement in Quebec\u2019s financial standing in the world\u2019s money markets that would follow hard on the advent to Quebec of a Conservative Government.There has been such a Government in power at Quebec since December, 1801; and in the intervening period the province has tad something to do wich foreign money-lenders, It should be interesting to observe in what manner the predictions of Mr.Hall and his friends have stood the test.The Shehyn loan of 1891, taking into accountthe discount and the cést of floating it was equal to $4,000,000 at par bearing interest at G6I2 per cent.It was not a good bargain; perhaps it was worthy of Mr.Hall\u2019s condenmation as being one tno business man would Justify.\u2019* The Province received only 48D francs 25 centimes for every 500 franc debenture issued, with interest at 4 per cent.But this loan ran only two years, and in 1893 Mr.Hall and his colleagues had an opportunity of showing what they could do by floating a new loan on better terms and paying off the old one.After scurrying about Europe for months they were obliged to renew the Ican with the Credit Lyonnais for two years on terms which were actually humiliating.The Province received only 470 francs on every 500 franc coupon, as against 480 fr.25c.in the Shehyn loan; and when to this immense discount was added the travelling and incidental expenses and the commission, the Province paid as the cost oi floating the loan no less than $276,393,- 000.This made the yearly outlay on the loan 71; per cent, or one per cent worse than the loan floated by Mr.Shehyn which \u2018\u2019no business man would justify.\u201d The terms governing the repayment were onerous in the extreme, By article 3 the Province binds itself to issue a loan before Dec.31st, 1894, for the retirement of the 20,000,000 francs.If this loan is not effected the Government must remit to the lenders before January 15th, 1895, the titles of a consolidated loan not exceeding forty years, sufficient at 90 to redeem 42,554 bonds maturing on July 15th, 1895.The lenders will make arrangements with the Province as to the price at which these bonds are to be sold; failing an understanding the bonds will be sold at public auction.Beside these humiliating conditions and enormous discounts the Shehyn loan looks like a model of financing.The only excuse which the Government could make for this proceeding was that in 1893 owing to the financial panic prevailing on the European bourses it was impossible to make a loan of any sort, and it was obligrd to renew the loan and MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1894.the meanwhile restored by the administrative and financial reforms about to be carried it would be possible to make a loan at vastly better terns.Whether the excuse was good or bad it \u2018\u2019went\u2019\u2019 as the slang of the day has it.This brings us down to the present.The time is at hand when the new ioan must be floated, Money is cheap and is looking for investment.Cheerfulness and courage have replaced gloom and despondency in the European money world.We have had in this Province for several years the inestimable privilege of being governed by Taillon, Pelletier et al.The merchants of this city have been bled in large amounts as special taxes for the purpose of rehabilitating the injured financial standing of the Province.\u2018The circumstances are therefore propitious for making a new loan on less burdensome conditions, But what has Mr, Taillon done?During the illness of the responsible Treasurer he has, without seeking to ascertain the possibilities of financing in other quarters entered into an arrangement with the very firm which drove so hard a bargain when it had the Province on the hip, by which this obligation will be met by selling through the Credit Lyonnais enough & year bonds bearing 3 per cent interest at 77 per cent to cover it.This is an outrageous piece of jobbery which will probably give the final blow to what little credit Quebec has left, The discount is so enormous that it is bound to injuriously affect all provincial securities, and it adds no less than a million and a quarter of dollars to the debt of tha Province.Mr, Hall has shown his opinion of the transaction by resigning from the Government; and no man, careful of his reputation, will care to vick up the portfolio he has dropped, if approval of this shameless job is part of the proceeding.WITHIN SIX WEEKS.The Merchants\u2019 Telephone Company to be in Operatiou.The Merchants\u2019 Telephone Company held its annual meeting yesterday afternoon, Mr.F.X.Moisan, president, being in the chair, and Mr.J.M, Marcotte, acting as secretary, Messrs, F.X.Moisan, L.E.Beauchamp, Odilon Vanier, Arthur Gagnon, Jos.E, Beaudoin, the five directors whose term expired, were unanimously re-elected, From the report of the President and of the Treasurer, it appears that the company has done about three-fourths of the work necessary to put into operation eight hundred instruments.The capital stock was then about exhausted, but the directors having full confidence in the enterprise, have volunteered to lend the necessary amount, that is $30,000.After some discussion it was decided to accept the offer of the directors The loan is at eight per £ent.This it is said will ensure the completion ot the company\u2019s fine and within five or six weeks 1.will have its instruments in operation, The directors were also authorized to float debentures to repay the above loan.Thanks were voted to the board of directors for their devotion and ability in the adminstration of the affairs of the company.THE LARGEST PIANO PURCHASE EVER CONCLUDED IN CANADA.\u2014_\u2014 ° (From N.Y.and Chicago Musical Journals.) A GREAT PURCHASE.A.P.Willis, the well-known dealer, of Montreal, recently gave an order to the R.S.Williams Co., Toronto, and the Bell Organ Co., Guelph, Ont., for one thousand pianos and five hundred organs which are to be put on the market in Eastern Ontario, the Province of Quebec and the Maritime Provinces.This is the largest purchase of the kind ever made in Canada.These two factories, Bell, of Guelph, and Williams, of Toronto, are larger, wealthier, and more enterprising than all others in the Dominion of Canada combined.A magnificent stock is exhibited at Willis and Co.\u2019s, 1824 Notre Dame Street, and at branch offices in three provinces.An Investigation will be Held.At yesterday\u2019s meeting of the Harbor Commissioners it was decided that in compliance with the suggestion of the Montreal oard of Trade an investigation should Le held into the grounding of the 8S.Hamilton, and it was ordered that a summons be issued to the pilot to appear on Friday morning, the 05th instant, at 10.30 a.m., with a view to make such enquiry.The death of Pilot Uldoric Toupin, at Quebec, on Monday, on board the ship Mindet, was reported.A number of routine matters were dealt with.Extract from a Scotchman\u2019s Diary, s.d Monday\u2014A half gill to wash awa\u2019 the effects o\u2019a dry sermon, 3d.Mid-day\u2014A gill to wet ma lips for dog whistlin\u2019, being oot after the sheep, 1d.Forgatherin\u2019 with the neebors, twa gills, 2d.Mair dog whistlin\u2019, a gill, 1d.0 4% Tuesday\u2014A wet mornin\u2019.A gill, 1d (there being some holes mm ma plaid).Dag whistlin\u2019 through the day, twa gills, 2d.Consoling wi\u2019 Jock Macdonald over the loss o\u2019 his wife, fower gills, dd.0 7 Wednesday\u2014Market day.Forgather- in\u2019s, sax gills, 6d.Dog whistlin\u2019, twa gills, 2d.Gills wi\u2019 folk I had nae mind o\u2019 whatever, 4d.Gill wi\u2019 the man that sang \u201cAuld Lang Syne,\u201d Idg.Thursday\u2014A gill to try to bring to mind whaur I peeled ma knuckles in a poleetical argument, 1d.Introducing Jock Macdonald to a likely lass to mak\u2019 his second wife, twa gills, 2d.Sundry dog whistlin\u2019s, twa gills, 2d.05 Friday\u2014Amang the sheep, fortifyin\u2019 mesel\u2019 for Jock Macdonald's wife\u2019s funeral in the afternoow, twa gills, 2d.Anither on the road to keep mesel\u2019 trae gresting [= fo for the puir body, 1d.Dog whistlin\u201d, 1d.The funeral, sax gills, Gd.010 Saturday\u2014To keep the mist oot 0\u2019 ma plaid, the holes no being mendit, a gill, 1d.Gieing in the banns for Jock Macdonaid\u2019s marriage.fower gills, 4d.Dog whistlin\u2019 and forgatherin's, three gills, 31.0 8 Sunday\u2014The Sabbath Day.A wee drap to clear ma throat for crying on my dog, a gill, 1d.Aun- ither at Luckie\u2019s when the bells are ringing, 1d.Some brandy, HOMCEPATHY.Opening of the Hospital for the Prac tice of its Principles.Another hospital has joined the sisterhood of Montreal's beautiful circle of charities.Nearly 50 years ago Dr.Fisher introduced homapathy into Montreal and Canada.From the earliest day its supporters have hoped for a hospital where liomæpathie treatinont should prevail.In 1865 the Montreal Homœpathic Association was incorporated and given power to establish a dispensary, a hospital and a college.On Nov.16.1893, the association accepted a gift of $10,000 to be used in founding the hospital.To-day the hospital is ready for patients.This happy consummation is due to the combined labors of the association through its Boaid of Governors amd of the Woman's Auxiliary, which was founded last February by sixladies and now hus a membership of over 60.The houseat the corner of McGill College Avenue and Burnside Street has been put into first class order, its rooms and plumbing all made just as they should be for efficient hospital work, while the delicate coloring of the walls, and the interesting pictures thereon are sure to help in the good work of healing.The thirty-four beds are divided among the men\u2019s, women\u2019s, and children\u2019s wards.The hospital is true to the reputation of homœpaths for liberality,and shows it in throwing open its private rooms to the patients of any properly accredited physician.The management rests in a Committee from the Board of Governors; the Governors and members of the Montreal Homeepathic Association who, by the payment of $100, have constituted themselves life Governors, or by paying $10 are open to election as elective Governors.Of the Governors the following are the officers: Mr.Samuel Bell, President; Mrs.Charles Morton, Vice-President; W.G.Nichol, M.D, Secretary; Jos.Gould, Treasurer; Committee of Management, Miss Ames, Mrs, W.B.Lindsay, Mrs.Van Horne, Mrs.Mackenzie, Mrs.Thomas, Mrs Nichol, Mrs.R.C.Fisher, John Wanless, M.D., H.M, Patton, M.D., James Baylis; \u2018E.G.O\u2019Connor, Advisory; Miss M.E.Baylis, Secretary.The new hospital presented a brilliant and beautifully attractive appearance « on its opening to the public last night.The building was ablaze with light, and the rooms, which were prettily decorated with alms and flowers, were crowded with adies and gentlemen profuse in their praise of the result of the Committee's careful work.Bright and clean and pleasant is the new institution which is deserving of strong public support.Woman's Majority, She\u2019s long been a pot and a plaything, A toy for king and for sage, Beloved of the best and the bravest, But woman is coming of age.Oh, it's out of tho far eastern harem And into the college's door.Oh, it's down with effete superstition, For woman's & minor no more.Then look to your laurels, ye statesmen.The bird pines no more io the cage.She's spreading her strong snowy pinions, And woman js coming of age.ee Life and Love.Let us live while the heart is lightest, Let us love while tho heart is strong, And laugh while the day is brightest, And quicken the morn with song.Let us mourn for no joy untasted, Let us envy no bliss gone by.The pleasure ungrasped is wasted.Tomorrow we die, we die! \u2014Robert Clarkson Tongue, By Benning & Barsalou.Trade Sale By BENNING & BARSALOU, AUCTIONEEBS, At their Salesrooms, Nos.86 and 88 St.Peter Street, Wednesday, Oct, 3rd, at [0 a.m.REGULAR SALE DRY GOODS.Also (by order of the curator), in lots to suit the trade, J.Harris\u2019 Bankrupt Stock of Ready Mado Clothing, T'weeds, Coatings, Hats, Caps, Furs, Trunks, ete.Also (for the account of a Cigar Manufacturer).1,000 assorted Cigar Moulds.Also, 35 pleces Floor Oilcloth, 75 pieces Stair Oilcloth, 59 Rugs, Mats, ete.Also, a Retail Bankrupt Stock of Dry Goods, comprising the assortment usually found in a Jobber's stock, such as Tweeds, Muslins, Flannels, Dress Goods, Cloths, Furnishing Goods, Hosiery, Neckwear, Underwear, Shirts, and a variety of other goods.Also.at 230 o'clock, peremptory sale of 30 cases Housekeeping Linens.Also cases Boots and shoes, \u2018The whole in lots to suit the trade.Liberal terms.PEREMPTORY SALE \u2014OF\u2014 30 Cases Housckeeping Linens (Job) AT AUCTION by Catalogue.The undersigned will sell at their stores, Nos.86 and 88 st.Peter Strect, on WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3rd.a large and important consignment of Houre- keeping Linens just received by the S3.Buenos Ayrean, from Glasgow, B.and B.Montrent.30 Cases Scotch Linens, Nos.681\u2014705 comprising Bleached and Half-Bleached Linen Damask, Dice and Bleached Cloths, Bordered and Plain Crash, Apron Checks.Dice Crash, Sheeting, Tea Cloth, Padding Dowlas, B.and W.Bengals, Linen Duck, Huck Towelling, Shoe Duck, Huck, Glass, Damask, Cras Towels, Doylies, etc., ete.The whole without any reserve.Cataloguges mailed on appiication, .#8 The attention of buyers is invited to this important sale, sale at 2.30 o\u2019clock sharp.BENNING AND BARSALOU, Auctioneers, By M.Hicks & Co.Turkish Rug Sale The Auction Sale of Turkish Rugs, Carpets and Embroideries will be continued this afternoon, at 2.30 o\u2019clock, in the warehouse, Beaver Hall Bill (corner Jurors Street).Every lot must be sold, as this is the last day of sale.M.HICKS & co.Auctioneers VOSBURGH & SPRINGLE, DENTISTS, 947 Dorchester Street.\u2014Telephone 3085.Sun Life Building.\u2014Telephone 2939, J.BARKER VOSBURGH, L.D.S, JH.SPRINGLE, D.D.S.L.D TSE Bring your FURS now tobe altered or repaired, so you can have them when necessary.Best work dono.Lowest prices.Long established, Satisfaction guarantecd.R.KORNMAIER «& CO., 43 Bleury Street.Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Co.NOTICE OF DIVIDEND.An interim dividend of three per cent has been declared, payable at the Company's offices, 228 St.Paul Street, Montreal, on the 10th October next, to Sharcholders of record the 29th September 1894.J.R.BOURDON, r Secretary-Treasurer Montreal, 26th September, 1894.PROPERTY FOR SALE Cheap Building Lots.CLARK STREET-25 x 84 fect bo lane, $31 cash, and 72 monthly payments of $3.40 without interest.ST, LAWRENCE STREET-\u201425 x 84 fect to lane.Cash $35and 72 monthly payments of $4.75, witRout interest.DUROCHER STREET\u2014% x 100 feet.Cash $35 and 72 monthly payments of 85.80 without interest.THE MONTREAL FREEHOLD CO, (LIMITED.)

Taotai Shung is believed to have been the person who has kept the Japanese so well informed of the movements of Chinese ships in the past, and it is said that it was he who notified the agents of japan of the Kow-Shing expedition, which led to the sinking of that transport and the drowning of over 1,000 Chinese soldiers.Oficial advices received here from To- kio say that Japanese Government has declared lead to be contraband of war.The docks at Nagasaki, Japan, are full of cruisers and other vessels undergoing repairs.The Japanese troops, it is stated, in Japanese advices received here, are rapidly approaching Moukden, the capital of the Chinese Province of Manchuria.The Japanese army which has been marching upon Meukden ever since the battle od Ping-Yang, (where the Chinese were completely defeated, losing over 16,000 men, the majority of whom were taken prisoners) recently occupied Peichou on the frontier of Manchuria, without opposition, Later advices from Tien-Tsin say that nothing is actually known of the destruction of Taotai of Tien-Tsin, but it is believed that his Japanese friends have succeeded in smuggling him to some place of safety from which he will shortly escape to Japancse territory.Ît ,s said that the Taotai is not the only Chinese ofti- cial implicated in furnishing important war news to Japan.CHINESE FORCES DEMORALIZED.that Shagghai to-day states that the Chinese war council continues to sit, but the disorganization is appalling.The corruption in the Commissariat passes belief, There is no clothing for the troops and food is scanty, weapons and war munitions bought and paid for can nowhere be found nor traced.The great Chinese camp between Tien-Tsin and Taku is filled with raw levies and disorder is rampant although executions are frequent.The men are without rifles.Foreigners do not not vsnture in the camp unless they are amply guarded.Most of the Europeans have gone to the coast towns for protection.Many Chinese merchants have also migrated to the coast towns, feeling that they will be more secure with the foreigners.Remnants of the Chinese force from Ping Yang have reached Mouk.den.They lost everything and tell dole- lul stories of the fight.THE INVADING JAPANESE ARMY.Yokohama, Oct.1.\u20141he Japanese army has reached Anju in northeastern Corea, the frst colurn advanced to Chong Ju and Kusonz further northeast,

America\u2019s cup.\u201d \u201cThere is a great deal of talk of such action on the part of several English yachtsmen, but I do not know definitely who will build such a yacht.\u201d \u2018In your opinion, is the Vigilant fast enough to beat the Britannia in American waters under the condition which would govern a race ior the America\u2019s cup?\u201d \u2018\u2018Yes, the Vigilant could easily

the tax already collected from the C.P.R.and G.T.R.for the privilege of having stock yards in the city.It was at the instance of the Abattoir Company that the tax was originally levied, as they claimed that these stock yards interfered with their business, and was in some sense a violation of the city\u2019s contract.The privilege, for which each of the railroads have been paying §5,000 a year, has now lapsed ; and 1t was recommended that the Finance Committee raise the annual tax to $7,500 in renewing the stock yard privileges.CURLING AT LACHINE.Xew Covered Rink to be Erected.Lest
