CAMPAIGN.rHE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK STRIKES THE KEYNOTE OF THE FIGHT AT SYRACUSE.Kind Words for Cleveland and Sars castic Ones for Morton\u2014The A.P.A.Denounced.Syracuse, N.Y., Oct.11.\u2014Senator David Bennett Hill sounded the keynote of his campaign for Governor to-night, in this city, and with his address opened a partisan battle that promises to be historical in the annals of State politics.The Alhambra Rink, where Democrats and Republicans alike have sounded the tocsin of political battle, was the scene of the opening note of warfare.Senator Hill, in opening his speech, paid a graceful compliment to President Cleveland.He was reminded, he said, that the County in which he was now addressing the electors, was the boyhood home for many years of the present Democratic President of the United States\u2014Grover Cleveland\u2014 where, struggling with honest poverty, he acquired those habits and principles of economy which have always been distinguishing features of his official administrations in state and nation; and recollecting all these circumstances, it was deemed most fisting that the first words in behalf of Democratic principles should be uttered upon the soil rendered interesting by such pleasant memories.Mr.Hill next paid his respects to his opposing candidate, the Hon.Levi P.Morton, for whom he had \u2018\u2018nothing but the kindliest feelings and the most profound personal respect.\u201d And here the Senator first introduced what is evidently to he made one of the issues of the campaign by the Democrats\u2014the A.PA.movement.Speaking still of Mr.Morton, he said : \u201cBorn in the State of Ver- mout\u2014prohibition Vermont\u2014let me observe the State whose republicanism is most extreme and illiberal in its character, he afterwards removed to New Hampshire, where he was engaged in business for many years, as the Congressional Directory shows; and it is a peculiar and significant fact, not without special interest in this campaign, that all the while Mr.Morton lived in New Hampshire and until as late as the year 1867 the Constitution of that State was most proscriptive in its terms, and actually prohibited any person \u2018\u2018not of the Protestant religion\u201d from being Governor or a member of either House of the Legislature, and its bill of rights then provided, and still provides, that only a \u201cProtestant teacher of piety, religion and morality\u201d may be maintained at the public expense of the respective towns of the State, and this, too, in this enlightened nineteenth century.It is not impossibe that the early, narrow associations of Vermout and the proscriptive sentiments of New Hanipshire, which surrounded Mr.Morton during liis residence in those States, may have influenced his convictions upon certain public questions, and led to his selection in this peculiar crisis.\u201d Everybody knew, however, added Mr.Hill, that the real Republican candidate for Governor was not Mr.Morton, but Mr.Platt himself.Continuing, Mr.Hill said: \u201cWe should not permit our opponents to obscure the real issues involved in this election.We decline to belittle the important questions which divide the two great parties by entering upon the discussion of the abuses pertaining to the police department of a single city, as though the correction of such abuses could be made a party question.\u201cThe Democratic party of the State will not sanction Republican or Democratic blackmailing, whether discovered in Democratic or Republican municipalities, and it is an insult to the intelligence of the people to assume otherwise.We refuse to be placed upon the defensive upon false issues.The plain truth is that the police department of New York City is a non-partisan, or rather a bipartisan department, governed by civil service rules, and that the irregularities or abuses recently exposed have already implicated more Republican than Democratic police officials, and that such exposures have been followed by prompt dismissals frown the force and prompt prosecutions at the instance of zealous Democratic city and county officers.\u201d The vital issues were, he said, the question of religious tolerance and the apportionment act of the constitution convention.Of the latter he said: \u2018The Republicans last fall accidentally obtained control of the Constitutional Convention and have proceeded to place an apportionment of Senate and Assembly districts in their constitutional amendments to be submitted to the people at this election.The unfairness,the partisanship, the absolute injustice of the proposed apportionment admits of no argument.Its purpose was openly avowed on the floor of the Convention to be to secure for all the future the control of the Legislature of the State to the Republicans, and no one denies that such will be its effect.\u201d Senator Hill, after dealing at length with the details of the proposed apportionment, reverted again to the issue of religious tolerance.\u201cI condemn,\u201d hesaid, \u2018\u2018that un- Americanspirit which is insidiously fastening itself upon portionsof ourcommunities which seeks to set up a religions test as one of the qualifications for public office in this country.Any organization, secret or otherwise, which has this object in view deserves the execration of èvery good citizen.It is useless to deny the fact that aympathy for this intolerant organization has found much support in Republican circles and much aid at the polls in strong Republican localities.\u201cIn the National Constitution which our fathers framed it was wisely provided that \u2018no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.\u201d This provision reflected the wisdom of our early statesmen, illustrated their liberty-loving spirit and exemplified their true patriotism.\u201cThis sacred constitutional provision prevents the enactment of any federal statute creating a religious test for public position, but, of course, it does not and cannot prevent proscription by individuals, associations or political parties.That must be regulated by an intelligent public sentiment, which I invoke at this time in opposition to the rising spirit of intolerance which we observe cropping out on every pand.\u201d Federal issues Senator Hill handled as follows : \u201cI deny the oft-repeated statement that the Democratic party is justly responsible for the hard times through which the country has just passed.Tle financial panic of \u2018last year and the succeeding hard times \u2018were ths results of the Republican legislation enacted during Mr.Harrison\u2019s administration.You know who passed the Sherman Silver Bill and the McKinley Tariff Bill and cach was as detrimental to the finances of the country as the other, One exhausted the surplus\u2014especially the gold of the treasury te purchase silver bullion to be stored in the treasury asa commodity, and the other by its high prohibitory duties failed to produce sufficient revenues to support the Government.\u201cThe McKinley Bill was a complete failure.It virtually broke down during the last year of the Harrison administra- tion\u2014the receipts were so meagre that the expenditures of the Government nearly exceeded its revenues.\u201cThese conditions kept getting worse until the Sherman law was repealed, and they were not fully relieved until the repeal of the McKinley Law.\u2018\u2018With these two obuoxious statutes repealed, the country is now entering upon better times.Money is easicr, trade is reviving, manufactureis are resuming oper- atious, new enterprises are starting up, and everywhere there is a feeling of security, of confidence and of prosperity.Our workingmen are rapidly finding employment and the great army of the unemployed will soon disappear.\u201d \u201cThe new tariff law is,\u201d he declared, a vast improvement over the McKinley law and will clearly demonstrate its superiority as time rolls on and the business of the ccuntry shall adjust itself to its provisions.It recognizes in part, at least, the Democratic doctrine of free raw materials and in response to an overwhelming public sentiment has appropriately provided for free wool, free lumber and free salt.It may be safely asserted that the new law will not cripple nor embarrass a single industry in the land, nor threw out of employment a single workingman, nor unduly stimulate overproduction on the one hand nor exorbitant exportations on the other.\u201cIf the new bill errs at all it is in the direction of safety and moderation.If it be said that the new law in a single respect is unduly favorable to! one particular \u2018trust,\u2019 my answer is that the old law favored a dozen trusts where this may favor one.\u2018Every man, despite the Republican statement to the contrary, should understand that another general or extensive tariff revision, is not contemplated by the Democrats no¥% or in the near future.This determination, however, does not preclude the desirability of redeeming by the passage of such bills, whatever pledges we have made in our platform or otherwise for free raw materials or the re-adjustment of any objectionable sugar schedule, The depression or disturbance in business which necessarily accompanies any general tariff revision was, of course, to be regretted, but I call the attention of the country to the fact, not generally understood, that mo matter which political party won in 1892 there would have been tariff revision necessary and evitable, because the McKinley law had broken down, had collapsed and had proved utterly inadequate to meet the necessities of the Government and to furnish its required revenues, The McKinley tariff duties had been placed so high as to be largely prohibitory in their effect, and the necessary revenues were not forthcoming, and upon the advent of the present national administration to power, we were confronted with a virtually bankrupt treasury and the deficit was daily increasing.\u201d The speech contained no reference to the income tax.BREWERS ORGANIZING In Anticipation of a Vigorous Campaign for Prohibition, A deputation from the Ontario Brewers\u2019 Association waited on the prominent brewers of this Province, at the Windsor Hotel yesterday.In the deputation are snch men as L.J.Cosgrave and E.O'Keefe, of Toronto, and W.McCarthy and Geo.T.Labatt, of Prescott.They met in convention yesterday, and presented their views one to the other on the advisabjlity of forming a Quebec Brewers\u2019 Association, and ultimateley a Dominion Association.Mr.Cosgrave and Mr.O'Keefe indicated in their conversation that the present activity on their part, was to be prepared for any vigorous temperance or prohibition movement that might be sprung on them.They explained that our neighbor to the South had a Brewer's Association in every State and also a Federal Association over all.The same principle was desirable in Canada.To-day another meeting will be held at the Windsor.Tneasiness About

COUNCIL REFUSES TO RATIFY THE COHEN COAL CONTRACT.AND LEFT THE CONTRACT FOR CAST IRON PIPES FOR NEXT MEETING, Proprietors Interested, and the City to Share Cost of St, Lambert Hill Improvements.The meeting of the City Council yesterday afternoon opened with a breezy discussion on the recent awards of contracts by the Water Committee, The Mayor was accused by Ald.Leclerc and Ald, Costizan of being partial to Knowles & Co., and Kingman, Brown & Co., cecal merchants; and his worship rctorted by saying that Ald.Costigarf was a friend j of his brother coal merchant, Cohen.The chairman of the Water Committee warmly resented; this insinuation, and told the Mayor that he treated the inuendo with scornful contempt.Ald.Savignac, usually a mild and unobtrusive debater, grew so angry at some remarks made by Ald, Leclerc that he withdrew his name as seconder of the motion that the Council ratify the Cohen contract, and the Mayor be authorized to sign it.He made a short speech full of invective, which of course drew forth an equally warm rejoinder from Ald.Leclerc, Ald.Jacques, Brunet, Kennedy, Smith Penny, Reneault and Prenoveau took a hand in the debate.Ultimately the motion was lost by 15 to 7.The discussion had lasted an hour.The other coal contracts were then held over, as was also the pipe contract, which had been awarded to the Canada Pipe and Foundry Company.The most important question, however, which came before the Council way the St.Lambert Hill widening and extension project, which has been so strongly denounced by several of the English-speak- Ing and some of the French-speaking aldermen, foremost among the latter being Ald, Savignac.In the discussion of the project, Ald.Smith, Penny and Stevenson bore a prominent part.The rejection of Ald.Rainville\u2019s motion, d the adoption of those of Ald.Smith a8d Ald.Beau- soleil constitute a signal victory for the cause of municipal reform, \u2019 On the report of the Water Committee that the contract for cast-iron pipes had been awarded to the Montreal Foundry Company at $28.90 per ton, Ald.Stevenson asked if the pipes were to be made in Montreal or not.Ald, Costigan replied that Mr.Clendin- neng\u2019s offices and stove works were in the city, but he did not know where the pipes were to be made.Ald, Stevenson\u2014\u201cThat 1s no answer.\u201d Ald.Jacques supposed this was the lowest contract, but got no answer.He cop.tinued by asking if all the pipes ordered last year had been delivered yet.He had seen pipes being delivered that morning, and it was likely that this contract would be the same, although delivery should be made within a stated time.Ald, Costigan\u2014''You probably saw them being carted from the Corporation yard,\u201d Ald.Jacques\u2014**These were coming from the foundry.\u201d Ald.Smith reminded the Council that it had no money to spend on cast iron pipes or anything else at present.The City Auditor had told them that in March they had $426,000 at thar disposal, of which $360,000 has been appropriated.He also showed that the Council bad not taken into account the liability which it had assumed nearly a year ago for Cote St.Louis debt, amounting to $239,000.Therefore, Ald.Smith said, there has been an over-appropriation of $170,000, and if this contract was signed there would be no money to pay for it.The matter was leit over until next meeting.The proceedings became very heated when Ald.Costigan asked the Mayor if he could now bring up Knowles & (Co.'s coal contract, The Mayor said he wished to reply to Ald.Costigan\u2019s attacks on him in regard to the coal contract.Ald.Costigan denied that he attacked the Mayor.Mayor Villeneuve\u2014\"Knowles & Co., and Kirgman, Brown & Co, are not my friends, but they are Ald.Costigan\u2019s confreres.He has supported them 3, Ald.Costigan, (hotiy)\u2014\u2018I nevey supported them,\u201d Mayor\u2014\"\"You never gave any reason for what you did, and you even said you did not know the price paid for the 200 tons purchased hy the superintendent, Ald.Costigan, (angrily)\u2014\"You have no right to make that insinuation.The statement is not so.\u201d (Cries of \u2018\u2019Order, order.\u2019\u2019) Ald.Costigan (continuing)\u2014\"You are making a statement that is not true.\u201d There was a wild scene for about a minute, in the midst of which the Mayor could be heard saying, \u2018Don\u2019t call me the friend of coal merchants.\u201d [This caused a burst of merriment.Ald, Costigan retorted very hotly\u2014'*The presiding officer has no right to insult or make false statements against any member of the Council.\u201d Mayor\u2014*1 am not insulting anybody.\u201d Ald.Costigan\u2014\"You know the statements you make are false,\u201d Ald, Savignac withdrew his name as the seconder of Ald, Costigan\u2019s motion that the contract be awarded to Cohen and Sons, and Ald.Leclerc seconded the motion instead, Ald.McBride wanted to know if this contract included the coal delivered for the last two months.Ald, Costigan replied that the superintendent had been instructed to buy what coal was required, and he had been careful not to interfere, Ald.Prenoveau said that he had voted for Cohen's contract because if the coal was screened at the mine it would deteriorate in transportation, He was in favor of the coal being screened here, Ald.Jacques asked if it was a fact that Cohen & Sons deposit was not sufficient, Mayor\u2014t\u2018If there is anything illegal, I will not sign this contract any more than the last one.Any contract passed by the Council and approved by the City Attorney will be signed by me.\u201d Ald, Kennedy thought there must be something wrong in all this.Otherwise he could not see why the City could not buy its coal like other people and be free from suspicion.The vote was then taken on the mo- Continued on Page Two, CANADIAN TRADE REVIEW.Nothing Encouraging in the Market for Holders of Wheat, Toronto, Oct.11.\u2014F.G, Dun and Co.\u2019s review of trade of the week says: Money continues cheap at all the leading financial centres.A more active demand would re- suit in better rates, and this is to be desired, as it would gain a revival of the industries.Dealers in dry goods, hardware, and metals report a good business.A considerable number of orders are in for shipment of heavy goods before the close of Lake navigation.Remittances are fair, although the movement of grain is slow, owing chiefly to low prices.The retail trade is fair, being stimulated in a measure by the colder weather.Wheat is weak and the movement comparatively restricted.There is little ens couragement for holders and the news generally is bearish.The average price of English wheat is down to 19s a quarter, and no such record of cheapness has been made since the sixteenth century.The lowest weekly average recorded from 1846 to 1893, inclusive is 24s 7d for the week ended March, 18th 1893, previous to which, within the period named it was only under 28s and that by a single penny.Damp and discolored wheat has sold as low as 14s a quarter, but even dry foreign wheat is low beyond precedent, Argentine cargoes being offered at 19s while a good standard wheat such as American red winter, may be bought at 2Is by the cargo.The number of failures for the week ended Oct.11th is 43 as compared with 42 of of corresponding week of last year.HENDERSON'S SUICIDE.Domestic Troubles and Refusal of Transfer Caused It.London, Oct.11.\u2014Some painful details have transpired in regard to the suicide of Mr.Patrick Henderson, recently British Consul at Cadiz, Spain.It seems that Mr.Henderson\u2019s wife, died recently at Cadiz, and this, with the unhealthy climate of that place, so depressed Mr.Henderson's spirits that he was impelled to apply for his removal to some other post.His application, however, was refused, and the unfortunate man went to the Foreign Office yesterday in order to renew his appeal.Secretary Foley was again compellel to reply that it was impossible to change him from Cadiz to some other place, whereupon Mr.Henderson burst into tears.This so affected Mr.Foley that he turned away his head in order to conceal his emotion, and as he did so Mr.Henderson drew a pistol and shot himself in the head.THE CZAR'S RELAPSE.Extreme Irritableness Makes His Cone dition Much Worse, Berlin, Oct.11.\u2014A meraber of the staff of the Russian Embassy of this city informed the Associated Pr -ss correspondent this evening that the reason Professor Ley- den was for the second time called to attend the Czar was because the distinguished sulf- ferer has suffered a relapse.This is shown in his greatly increased difficulty in breathing, and in repeated periods of unconsciousness, Within the last week the Czar\u2019s nervousness has grown worse so rapidly as to make him irritable, the -catly lessening his chances of recovery.Although the Czar fully expects to die, he is eager for his removal to Corfu, the latter step becoming imperative, if the only chance to save his life is utilized.Professor Leyden will reach Livadia on Saturday night, and will accompany the Czar to Corfu, where he Will remain until the crisis is over, having received six months leave of absence from the Prussian Government.The distinguished German specialist persists in his rather favorable diagnosis of the Czar\u2019s case and fully believes that if it is left entirely in his hands he will be able to effect a cure.[Professor Leyden has taken to Livadia a liberal supply of drugs with his operating tools and a new remedy supposed to be a specific against the disease prepared by Professor Koch and in which both he and Professor Leyden both have much hope.The officials of the Russian Embassy have no doubt that the Czar has the best chance obtainable in Professor Leyden\u2019s hands because he is to place himself unreservedly under the orders of the German physician and has as a preliminary, dismissed Professor Zaccharin, his greatest danger unless from the disease itself, But half a chance is now given nature and the doctor.The reason for the Czar's incessant worrying was first about the plainly approaching death of his son George, aud secondly the conduct of the Czarewitch, who stubbornly refuses to marry Princess Alix.The reasou assigned for this refusal is the great love of the Czarewitch for his mistress, a most beautiful Jewess, who seems to have so great a hold npon him that for the sake of keeping her he has offered to renounce his right of succession to the throne, but the Czar will not permit this, not approving of it for family reasons.At the same time the Czar fears for the yrelfare of Russia and perhaps for the peace of Europe if a regency is necessary.These worries, Professor Leyden asserts, constitute the greatest feature of the Czar\u2019s case.Athens, Oct.11.\u2014Admiral Avellan, with a squadron of four Russian warships and several Greek ironclads, cruisers and Torpedo boats, are proceeding to Corfu where they will remain during the stay of the Czar upon that island.Berlin, Oct.11.\u2014The correspondent of the Associated Press has been informed semi-officially that an extensive plot against the life of the Czar has been discovered.It is added that this conspiracy is considered by the police to be very formidable, owing to the fact'that its membership includes a large number of army officers.Many arrests, it is added, have already been made at Warsaw, Odessa and Kieff, TELEGEAPHIC NOTE; Belleville, Ont., Oct.11.\u2014Rev.S.Daw says that he has not resignea from the ministry.Brantford, Ont., Oct.11.\u2014The stock of the British American Starch Company was sold to-day by S.G.Read, the official assig.nee, for $5,000.The purchasers were D Lowery and Geo.Foster.Washington, D.C., Oct.11.\u2014The cash balance in the Treasury to-day was $118.- 724,682; gold reserve, $60,048,544, Ice Cream Socinl, Although a little late in the season, the ice-cream social under the auspices of Rebecca Degree Lodge, No.6, held last evening at the Oddfellows Rooms, St, James Street, was a great success.About 300 people gained admission to the hall, where a fine programme was rendered.Mrs.Murray of the ladies lodge presided.An address of welcome was delivered by J.Wilson, ir, G.W.Among those who took part in entertaining were the Misses Lanslefi, Wicolt, Dowling, De Carries and Cooke, and the Messrs, Stet- yler, McCarthy, Smith, Kolmmer, Greenwood, and Penning.A delightful.evening was spent, and everyone expressed good wish- es for Rebecca Lodge.PRICE ONE CENT.CAPTAIN'S FAT FEE.STEAMSHIP LINE PAID CAPT.SCHMITTBERGER $500 FOR PROTECTION.POLICY SHOPS THRIVE UNDER THE TAMMANY POLICE, Some More Interesting Evidenee Brought out at the Lexow Investigation, New York, Oct.11.\u2014The Lexow Committee\u2019s proceedings opened at 11 o\u2019clock this morning, with Mr.Forget on the stand.He is the agent for the Frehch Steamship Line who displayed a remarkably poor memory Tuesday as to where 8500 went on December 31, 1891.\u201cNow, Mr.Forget,\u201d said Mr.Goff, \u2018have you remembered what became of that $500 paid by you?\u201d \u201cI have, I puid it to Captain Max Schmittberger.The ward detective told me that as we had ceased to pay officer De Gan $10 a week for a year, the captain wanted $500, which sum the weekly payments we had not made would aggregate.\u201d \u201cDid Captain Schmittberger call for the money 7\u201d \u201c1 believe he did.Yes, I remember paying him in bills.\u201d Officer Martin C.Riley, for twenty-six years on the force, and a member of the steamboat squad during fifteen years, testified that he had $10 a week for extra ser vices on the Cunard Line Pier, but that Captain Schmittberger wanted every cent of it, He was already paying the ward detective 85 a week.He said he was taken from the Cunard Line pier and placed on a less pleasant post.Gustave Wolf, whom Mr.Forget, the manager of the French Line, testified on Tuesday.had approached him on Captain Szhmittherger's behalf, said he knew Captain Schmittberger for years.The captain asked him if he would intercede with Mr.Forget in his behalf.The witness did business with Mr.Forget, and consented to ask him not to testify against the captain.Mr.Forget was waited on by witness at the steamship, and asked by him not to reveal the $500 payment.Lawrence Carney, a youthful writer and backer of the policy business, told about the traffic.He gave as the names of notorious policy backers, A.Adams, C.P.Parker, Billy Meyers, Ed.Hogan, Charlie Mindeu, Dick Gamin and Billy Martin.The policy men were safe from interference, he said, the police being very intimate with them.To-day 600 policy shops were open.A man named P.J.Collin, living in Jersey City, receives the cipher daily from Kentucky, and gives it to the backers.He related entertainingly how the policy business is conducted.The police would saunter into his policy shop and say : \u201cDon\u2019t let newspaper men or Central office men in.You can keep open on the quiet.\u201d Carney had prepared a list of the policy shops now open in the various precincts, but said they would ail be closed to-morrow when his evidence was published.He mentioned Captains Martin and Stevens as being particularly affable to policy med.Several weeks ago Ward Detective Callaghan approached him while he was writing policy in a Front Street hotel and said: \u2018\u201cThe old man says go up higher, Carney.\u201d \u201cWhat did he mean?\u201d Bradley.\u201cWhy, to go in another room \u2014go on the floor above, so when the Parkhurst people came they would find the old shop closed, gee ?\u201d Carney then described policy gigs.He said it would be impossible to open a policy shop without permission from the captain of the precinct.Since the reform wave struck the city, policy writing had decreased 50 per cent.\u2018\u2018But it will spring up again when you Senators let up,\u201d said Carney.Carney said that on one occasion a partner policy man named Dove had to pay $650 to the Gerry Society Agents to escape their clutches, Dove had sold a slip to a boy and the Gerry poople threatened to arrest bin unless he gave them money.George W.Miller, of the annexed district, said he paid §15 to the police to have the polling place of the election district on his premises.The city allows the landlord of the polling place §50, so Miller profited $35 by the transaction.Mr.Goff said : \u201c\u2018This isthe custom, The police get $15 out of ten places in every election district.As there are over a thousand districts, the revenue from them now runs into thousands.\u201d The Committee adjourned till Tuesday.asked Uncle Dan VETERINARY ASSOCIATION, Annual Opening Meeting and Election of Officers.The annual opening meeting of the Montreal Veterinary Medical Association, held in the lecture room of Faculty of Comparative Medicine of McGill University last evening, was attended by an unusually large enthusiastic audience.In the absence ef Dr.J.G.Adami, President of the Society, Dr.D.McEachran occupied the chair.The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: President, Dr.J.G.Adami; 1st Vice- President, Dr.M.C.Baker, 2nd Vice- President, L.8.Cleaves, Secy.-Treas., BEC.Thurston, The Honorary President, Dr.McEach- ran, in an address of welcome made a brief resume of the work of the Society, than which no better incentive to earnest, successful effort in the future could be given.The ballot for new members resulted in the addition of twenty names to the list of active membership, a large number, and significant of an awakening interest in the Society, and the profession to the advancement of which it aims.Dr.M.C.Baker, upon invitation, addressed the Society in his usual entertaining style, more especially directing his attention to the new members.The cultivation of habits, of accurate observation and record were impressed upon those present.At the next regular meeting, to be held on the 25th ult., a paper entitled, \u2018The Feeding of Live Stock,\u201d will be read by Mr.H.D.Clarke.\u201d Mr.E.C.Thurston will report an interesting case of \u2018\u2018Laceration of the Muscles of the Neck\u201d in a horse.ONTARIO C.E.OFFICERS.Kingston, Unt., Oct.11.\u2014The Nominating Committee of the C.E.Convention have named the following officers for the ensuing year, who will be elected without discussion: President, G.Tower Ferguson, of Toronto; Vice-Presidents, Rev.Geo.Munro, Geo.Best, Geo.Mills, Jr., and Rev.A.F.McGregor; General Secretary, Mr.Thomas Morris, Jr.; no statistical secretary was chosen,

Washington, .Washington, D.C., Oct.11.\u2014The National Convention of the Brotherhood of St.Andrew of the Episcopal Church was formally opened at noon to-day after service at Epiphany Church by Bishop Paret, of Maryland: About nine hundred accredited delegates had filed their credentials when the Convention assembled at Metzerotts Hall, where they were welcomed by Commissioner Ross on behalf of the District of Columbia and the Rev.Randolph H.Me- Kim on behalf of the Epicopal Clergy of the city.After the address, reports from various sections were real as follows: \u2018\u2018\u2019The South,\u201d Rev.C.D.Satterlee, of Atlanta; \u2018The Far West,\u201d Rev.L.B.Johnson, of Tacoma, Wash.; \u2018\u2018Canada,\u201d Rev.H.S.McDonald, Brockville, Ont.: and *Seot- land,\u201d Rev.Arthur Giles, of Edinburgh.Already there is a good deal of gossip about the place for holding the next convention, the struggle being apparently between Chicago, Buffalo, Cincinnati and Louisville.PILLAGE AND MURDER.Kaffirs Make a Raid on Portuguese at Lourenzo Marquez.London, Oct, 11.\u2014A despatch to the Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon from Tohannes- burg, says that the situation of the Portuguese

Naked.Ottawa, Oct.11.\u2014Aylmer has a wild man, who, if he does not reside within the limits of the town, lives in such close proximity as to wake the residents uneasy.No one knows who or what he is.He is only known as a wild man and everybody is frightened of him.His headquarters are on the farm of the late Jno.Newman, about a mile and a half above the town.Every morning for about two weeks past, as the Pontiac and Pacific Junction Railway train has passed through this farm on its way cityward, the wild man has made an appearance in a field at the side of the railway track stark naked.He has not threatened to do harm, but merely stood and watched the train.Helis a middle-aged man of good build, and has a long black beard reaching to his waist.No one knows where he sleeps, and the people in the neighborhood are even more perplexed to know what he lives upon, for he never asks anyone for food.On Tuesday morning of this week before reaching the spot where the wild man makes his appearance, the engineer put on extra speed, and was running some minutes ahead of time so that the train might stop for a few minutes to allow the train hands to meet the wild wan, and still arrive in Aylmer on time.The wild man was standing in his usual place as the train approached.Stopping the train, the engineer, conductor and brakesman jumped off and advanced to where the man was standing.He started to run away, but after a one hundred yard dash they caught him.Many questions were asked as to who he was, and why he appeared without clothing, but no information could be obtained from him.Afterwards the man ran swiftly away.Since the wild man has made an appearance a story is told that seems to identify him as a person of unsound mind who was seen on the Ontario side of the Ottawa River about five years ago.A couple of weeks ago Mr.Baillie saw a man ragged and tattered that appeared to him to be the same man le saw five vears before.The man was washing his feet in the lake.He admitted he was the same man, and said since then he had walked to California and back.Aylmer people intend taking steps to put the poor fellow in a place of safety.Killed by a Runaway.Durham, Ont., Oct.11.\u2014Miss Xate Black, daughter of Mr.Neil Black, of Glenely township, was killed instantly last night.She was driving home with her brother-in-law, Mr.Patrick Sullivan,

JAPANESE, Surrender of the Chinese Steamship Ten Kyo Maru\u2014~Iiroeshima Under a State of Siege.London, October 11.\u2014A despatch from Tokio says that a detachment of Japanese cavalry and infantry yesterday made an attack upon and routed a force of two thousand Chinese at Wiju and that the place remains in the hands of the Japanese, It is reported to the Japanese officers that ten thousand Chinese troops occupy the north bank of the Yalu River, where they have completed eight batteries and building more.Field Marshal Count Yamagata has estal- lished his base of operations at Ping Yang, which is near the sea and easy of access to supplies.It is generally hoped that the Japsnese will be in possession of Moukden by the early part of November.Other important military operations are under way, but their objects are as yet kept secret.Eurly results, however, are expected.China has been formally notified of the surrender and despatch to Nagasaki of the steamship Ten Kyo Maru,

Oct.11.\u2014The Novost! contends that if the Japanese are victorious they will firmly establish themselves in Corea, proving a constant menace to Russia while the Chinese will threaten her from Manchuria.Russia, the Novosti further says, will be compelled to make continued sacrifices to maintain the Siberian frontier, a task possibly beyond her power, while her Pacific squadron will be hamperad by the Japanese fleet.As the only means of averting this, Russia must intervene, send troops to Corea and Manchuria, annex both, extend the Siberian Railway to Seoul, attain a firm footing on the Pacific, and conclude her mission of eivilizing the demi-civilized countries of Asia.* The Novosti urges Russia to follow the example of Great Britain, which, it declares, knows how to safe-guard her interests when they are threatened.ATTITUDE OF FOREIGN POWERS, Berlin, Oct.11.\u2014The Cologne Gazette in an article regarding au agreement of the powers concerning China and Japan gays that Germany does not belong to those powers which think of staying Japan\u2019s arm.The paper adds that it is reported on reliable authority that Russia does not desire to put a stop to the resent hostilities.By Russia\u2019s attitude runce will be guided.The United States have from the outset made no disguise of their friendly attitude towards Japan.Austria has given evidence of her attitude by entrusting the defence of her interests to Germany.In conclusion, the Gazette says: \u201cIt will be time enough for the powers to ensuretheir interests when Japan shall have dictated term of peace in Pekin.\u201d WIJU EASILY CAPTURED.London, Oct.11.\u2014A correspondent with the Japanese forces at Wiju telegraphs under date of yesterday as follows : Tlie difficulty experienced in transporting our guns and commissariat overland has greatly retarded our advance.The main portion of the advanced column reached Yong Chon on October 4th.No sign of the enemy was seen.On the 8th, scouts reported that a small Chinese force, under 2,000 men, were still occupying Wiju, and a detachment of Japanese intantry and cavalry supported by light artillery, was sent to dislodge them.The Chinese offered a slight resistance, and then fled in disorder across the Yalu River.The Chinese loss in killed and wounded was under 100.We occupied Wiju on the same day.We do not expect to advance further for some days, The Chinese are in force on the northern bank of the Yala.We have already located eight batteries with gums in each of them.The enemy are rapidly building new earthworks and batteries.Their force appears to be strong.The next fight will be serious.Eight leading Corean noblemen will leave Seoul on Saturday to seek an interview with the Japanese Emperor at Hiroshima.It is understood that they will petition the Emperor to maintain the Japanese rotection of Corea.Japan has ple ged erself not to annex Corea, but she will not permit any European Power to take a fnot of Corean territory or allow Russia to take any position menacing the integrity of Japan.A Shanghai despatch says it is rumored in Tien-Tsin that the Chinese Emperor recently arrived there in disguise with a few trusted servants, to enquire for himself as to the position of affairs, and Viceroy Li Hung Chang's alleged incapacity.His present activity is traced to this visit.The Corean Government has written to the Japanese Minister at Seoul, thanking him for all he has done for Corea and complimenting the Japanese commanders upon their success.The Chinese in Pekin and ,Tien-Tsin believe that Russts is actively assisting Japan by every means in her power, except a formal alliance.Both Admiral Ting and Col.Von Hanne- kin are satisfied that Wei Hai Hai has been so strongly fortified and armed since the

Costigan and Pre- fontaine.\u20147.Against\u2014Ald, Lefebvre, Turner, Jacques, Lyall, Reneault, Smith, McBride, Hurtu- bise, Savignac, Brunet, Kennedy, Ra,n- ville, Dupre, Penny, and Stevenson.\u201415.Mayor (to Ald, Costigun)\u2014\u2018\u2018Your friend is beaten,\u201d He further expressed his pleasure at the result of the vote.Ald, Costigan wanted to know what the department was to do for coal.It was decided that the other tenders should not b: taken up.Ald.Rainville, seconded by Ald.Mc- Bride, moved the adoption of the report of the Police Investigation Committee, asking for such an enlargement of powers as would permit them to hold an inquiry into the gencral administration of the police force and the detective department, and to make suggestions for the improvement of both.The report was adopted unanimously and without debate.Ald.Stevenson rose to say something about the money needed by the Fire Department and to ask the Finance Committee how much money was available.Ald, Rainville suggested that as Ald.Hurteau, the chairman of the Finance Committee, was absent, the question should be postponed till to-day.Ald.Stevenson said he had yet to learn that the care of the finances of the city rested upon the shouldersy of one man.There were six members of the committee present, and surely one of them could \u2018oJqt[jvA SEM Aguoui yon Moy Aes Ald.Rainville-\"We have plenty of money for you if you wish to conduct your department economically.\u201d Ald, Stevenson defied Ald.Rainville to prove that the Fire Department was not conducted economically.Ald.Rainville, amid laughter, promised that he would prove it at the next mect- ing, The St.Lambert Hill extension and widening project then came up.The City Attoruey, whose opinion had been asked on the mandamus, stated that \"the peremptory writ must according to law be obeyed, and the proceedings in expropriation cannot, in our opinion be postponed.No appeal can at present be allowed.\u2019 Ald.Beausoleil, seconded by Ald.Mar- solais, moved that the report of the Road Committee and the City Attorney's opinion be sent to the conunittee of the Board of Chainnen on charter amendments, with instructions to prepare an amendment to the charter under which the cost or the widening and extension of St.Lambert Hill may be divided equally between the proprietors interested and the city.Ald.Lyall asked Ald.Beausoleil what steps he proposed to take to arrest the judgment, and the latter replied that an appeal could be taken against thi final judgment.Ald.Rainville proposed as an amendment that in view of the judgment rendered and the opinion of the City Attorney which has just been read, this Council desires to express its willingness to submit to the said judgment, and to meet the obligations imposed upon it for this improvement, which the Legislature imposed on the city without providing the funds necessary to carry it out.Ald.Smith was astonishejl that such an amendment should have been propose ed.Why should the city accept a judgment compelling it to perpetrate an iniquity?: Ald.Penny stated that interested parties had laid a trap for the city.All means possible should he adopted to extricate the city froin the entanglement.Ald.Stevenson caught the real point at issue.\u201cIf we adopt Ald, Rainville\u2019s amendment,\u201d he said, \u201cwe give up the whole case.The judgment says that the improvement must be started at once.It ineans that a special tax will be levied if this judgment is not resisted, and there will be a glorious picnic in collecting it.\u201d Ald.Prefonatine made two long speeches, one in English and one in French, in which he, as usual, held up the terrors oi the law before his aldennanic brethren.Ald.Penny asked Ald, Prefontaine whether he thought it right if he had the interests of the city at heart, to try to put the city to great expense in order to further his own interests, at a time, when the city has not money enough ior the project he advocated.Ald, Prefontaine\u2014\"*That is a ridiculous question,\u201d * Ald, Savignac.denounced the project as an injustice which was being sought to be perpetrated against the wishes of the citizens and the majority of the Council.Ald.Smith made a very effective speech in which he expressed his admiration of the way in which Ald.Prefontaine had handled his, subject.The fact remained that the clause was sprung in its present shape upon the Legislature at the last moment.The Council had voted that the city should pay half and the pre- prietors half.He would propose a 1notion later on that an appeal be taken at once, Ald, Dupre said that Ald, Beausoleil was championing the interests of the city, while Ald, Prefontaine was championing those of the proprietors.He would therefore support Ald.Beausoleil\u2019s motion.Ald.Rainville altered his amendment so as to provide against the levying of a special tax for the improvemnt.lie was in favor of the city paying the whole cost rather than prevent the improvement, Ald.Rainville\u2019s amendment sas lost on the following vote: Against\u2014Lefebvre, Turner, Jacques, Gro- the, Lyall, Leclerc,

astronomer, Richard A.Proctor, delivered the first of a course of lectures on astronomy, before a very larga and thoroughly interested audi.énce.Miss Proctor was introduced by Rev.Principal McVicar, who remarked that he had at one time the privilege of hearing the late Prof.Proctor Jec- ture, and pakl a graceful compliment to the daughter who had so ably taken up her father\u2019s lite work.Miss Proetor was warmly welcomed and at once began her lecture by a description of the ancient\u2019s idea of the earth and its relations to the other planets; Progressing from the primary idea of the flat earth supported upon columns, the lecturer presented the stages of advancement in astronomy, down to the present time.The lecture was beautifully illustrated by lime light views of charts, maps and pictures thrown upon a large sheet, and Miss Froctor\u2019s practised delivery, clear and forcible, audible in every part of the hall, held the attention of the youthful audience to the end.NOTES FROM

line being built from Mat- tawa to Kippewa Lake, a distance of about seventy-five miles.It is in the main designed as a colonization road, and will no doubt open up the country around Lakes Temiscamingue and Kippewa.Over twenty- five miles of the road have been completed, and passenger trains are now operating regularly on this line.The remainder of the road, about fifty miles, will, it is said, be ready by Christmas.At any rate the Company proposes working as late into the winter as possible to complete the line.Captain Holmes, Government Immigration Agent at Winnipeg, arrived at the Russell this morning on a special car, being on a lecturing tour in company with Mr.L.O.Armstrong, the C.P.R.Colonization Agent.To-day they both visited the Agricultural Department, and had a long interview with Deputy Minister John Low and Mr.H.B.Small.Mr.Pattersgn was to-day shown the printed rumor \u201cthat he was to take the leadership of the Ontario Opposition and that the vacant place in the Cabinet was to be filled by the appointment of Dr.Montague.After modestly expressing his unworthiness to fill the place of so talented a man a8 Mr.Meredith, Mr.Patterson said: \u201cThere is nota

Hinton.burgh, from Mr.J.Cameron, a contractor of Quebec.The price was 818,000 cash, or nearly $1,300 per acre.This price is far in excess of the ruling value of land in that vicinity, It is understood the land was bought purely on speculation, and that it will be platted and sold in building lots.NEWS FROM QUEBEC, Anglican Missionary Society \u2014 The Carnival Scheme.{Special to the

arrived at Point St.Charles about 9.30 last night, too late to bring him up to the stable, but he will reach Star's livery stable between nine and ten o'clock this morning.Mr.Beaver, who is in charge of the horse, says Prof.Gleason will have his hands full to-night, as the horse is seven years old, and his owner has never been able to do anything with him.The stallion Black Devil has torn down two box stalls at Star\u2019s stable, and late in the afternoon the proprietor sent word that he would not keep the animal in the stable over night, but he was finally prevailed upon to do so by leaving two of Gleason's men in charge.This horse will make à great fight to have his own way to-night and a lively time may be looked for, as he kicks, strikes, bites and does everything that a vicious brute can do, LAKE ONTARID'S STORM.Schooner Hartford Wrecked and seven Men Drowned.Rochester, N.Y., Oct.11.\u2014 Storm signals have been displayed at the port of Charlotte for the last three days, and the high winds have done considerable damage, as well as caused great inconvenience.The waves are dashing over the pent: day.The steamer North King, ie ir at Charlotte Monday, has become storm-bound, and all passengers and mails from Canadian ports across the lake have been sent by way of Suspension Bridge.The harbor is filled with boats waiting the subsidence of the storm.The tug Wilson, with a long

Raiiways Across Peat Bogs and Swamps, The Canadian Society of Civil Engineers held its regular monthly meeting last evening.A paper from the pen of Mr.D.A.Stewart on the building of railways across peat bogs or swamps was read.In some parts of Canada large areas of peat bogs or swamps are met with; and when locating lines for railways, the engineer frequently has to carry the line over these, or avoid them by taking a line objectionable in other ways, and in some cases it may be impossible to avoid them altogether.In building railways over such ground, the method of construction in most cases wiil either be to form a raft of some kind on which the weight of the track and trains will be, as it were, floated over the yielding mass beneath, or to fill in hard material until a solid bank is formed from the bottom of the swamp upwards.In thisway railways have been carried over swamps so deep and soft that one man could push a hole into the muck for twenty feet or more aud pull it out again.Mr.Stewart's paper deals at length with the various means taken to overcome the difficulties of this conscrue- tion.Discussion on the same subject will take place at next meeting.; The scrutineers prescuted the following report, which was adopted : \u201cWe the undersigwed scrutineers declare that the following gentlemen are duly elected in their respective classes.Members\u2014John

Frederick.The blunt out-spoken Zacharin may be compared to Professor Bergmann and Professor Leyden, with the suave Dr.Mackenzie.There can be, the paper adds, only one meaning tothe summoning of Professor Leyden.The Chronicle also notices the Jewish origin of Professor Leyden, and says that it is the irony of tate that impels the persecutor of the Jews to seek the assistance of a Jew.London,

Port Huron, Mich., Oct.11.\u2014The Grand Trunk elevators at Sarnia are blocked with grain, and there are no cars available to relieve the glut.\u201c The Klumpke Sisters.Miss Dorothea Klumpke, who has distinguished herself in Paris, and who passed her examination befare the Sorbonne so triumphantly, presenting a thesis on the nature of the rings of Saturn and receiving her doctor's degree, is à sister of Miss Anna Klumpke of Boston, an artist who has a studio on Beacon street, and who is known as a portrait painter of very exceptional power.Her sister in Paris, who has been made a doctor of science, presented in her thesis before the Sorbonne a very new and original theory regarding the rings of Saturn\u2014that they are composed of solid masses rather than of gaseous or fluid substance, as has heretofore been believed.There is still another of these talented sisters, Dr.Djerine Klumpke, who is a doctor of medicine and is living abroad, English Horsewomen, Different observers have commented upon the increaso of women riders in England who ride on the off side of their horses.The English woman has been taken as a model in horsewoman- ship, and Ler departure in this respect will certainly have its influence, It is said that already the sight is sufficiently common in Hyde park to have ceased to arouse comment, and though it still looks odd \u2018\u2018and not thoroughbred, you know,\u201d its cause of being is sensible enough to procure sanction for it.According to thoso who know, riding on one side of her horse whero a woman rides almost daily has a tendency to give an undesirable swing or curve to her figure, and the idea of an occasional change is on the same prineiple as \u2018\u2018running the other way'\u2019 around a circle.A Tribute to Rosina Vokes.Rosina

cycle I wear a cycling dress\u2014what is the difference?\u2019 No one being prompt to reply, she siowly rode off, no doubt feeling she had materially up held the right of women to defy Mrs.Grundy and all her tribe.We have since heard that this same Amazon had parade ed herself before Her Majesty at Crathie Bazaar.On her way there she entered a smoking compartment at Dinnet Station, and caused mucly perplexity im the honest minds of a coterie of Aberdeen bal lies, who were in doubt as to whether she were or were not one of their own sex in garments of indifferent cut!\u201d \u2014 A Mississippi Jury\u2019s Verdict, \u201cThere could scarcely be a better illustration of what a certain legal many eilld \u2018colossal inefficiency\u2019 than this story of a verdict given by a jury some years ago in Coahoma \u2018 Uounty, Mississ- ipri,\u201d\u2019 said an attorney of that state \u201cThe case under trial was that of anman who\u2014accidentally, as almost every on believed\u2014tataily shot a friend while the two were off with a hunting party.\u201cThe accused person was a prominent citizen of the place and had the respect and love of the whole community, and as the trial proceeded the faces of th they at last retired it became evident to them that the prisoner could not b acquitted cf all blame in such as serious they decided that it he must be consid: ered guilty of something as light as possible.Accordingly the foreman gra: vely anncunced on their return to the court room that they had found the pris oner guilty of drunkenness, \u2018Despite the gravity of the case, à ripple of amusement ran over the court room at this verdict.\u2018lhe judge immeci- ately charged the jury, this time with considerable severity and great clear ness, and again they retired.\u201cA long interval elapsed, but at last they came straggling in, Once mor?the foreman confronted his Honor, and thus announced their final decision: \u2018Wa find the prisonrr guilty of manslaughter, he said, \u2018but\u2019\u2014and this in a tone of defiance\u2014\"we don\u2019t none of us believe he done it\u2019 \"st, Louis Republic.rer = THROW IT AWAY.There's no long, er any need of wearing clumsy chafing Trusses which give only partial relie at best: novor dure, but often inflict great injury, inducing inflammation, strangulation and death.HERNI A Breach), oF fupture, no matter of how long standing, or of what size, is probe and permanently cured without the kbi and without pain.Apother Triumph in Gonsorvative Surgery is the cure, of MORS Ovarian, Fibroid and other sy varieties, without the per of ILE TUMOI large r owever large PIL UMORS, Blovuin.and othe diseases of the lower bowel, promptly cu without pain or resort to the knife.« STO E in the Bladder, no matter hot large, is crushed, puivoriaé and washed out, thus avoiding cutting.TRI af urinary passage is IE ey lets, on above digenses, sent gealed, in plain \u20ac0 velope, 10 cts.(stamph).Worcp's DISPEN SARY MBDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N.X- ite ht ity ng bg In.ep er, its ot on h) at 1t re Wj ire \u2018ess Way Sta.vas ire cry her vas es, nt de- iss ing hie ent ect nd the ny ous id ass Ta- the rise urt ith ar ast pra ind Wa 1, ve 1 19d yes, jet en ng on H MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1894.£5 J) mg cer É 2 AS ord a ALY) BRN A ny > DR.TALMAGE GIVES HIS IMPRESSIONS OF WOMEN AS VOTERS.New Occupations For Women\u2014The Duchess of York\u2014The Gainsborough Returns, Mrs.Amelia Bloomer\u2014Purity and Poll tics\u2014Woman Suffrage Means Peace.Rev.T.Do Witt Talmage has visited New Zcaland, and in his usual breezy, gonsational style writes home, giving hia {impressions of the country, which are very favorable.In his letter ho says: Another surprise to me is that female suffrage is in full blast.Ifound elegant ladies telling of their experience at the ballot box, and I hereby report to the American ladies now moving for the right of female suffrage that New Zea- land is clear ahead of them and that the experiment has been made here successfully.Instead of the ballot box degrading woman, woman is here elovating the ballot box.And why in New Zealand or America or anywhere else should man be so afraid to let woman have a vote?As tnough man himself had made such a grand use of it! Look at the illiterates and the incompetents who have been elcoted to office and see how poorly the masculines have exercised the right of suffrage.Look at the governments of nine-tenths of the American cities and sce what work the ballot box has done in the possession of man.Man at the ballot box is a failure.Give woman a chance.I am not clear that governmental affairs will be made any better by the change, but they cannot be any worse.New Zealand has tried it.Let England and America try it.It is often said in America that if women had tho right to vote they would not exercise it.For the refutation of that thécry I put the fact that in the last election in New Zealand, of 109,000 women who registered 90,000 have voted, while of the 194,000 men who registered only 129,- 000 have voted.This ratio shows that women are more anxious to vote than men.Perhaps woman will yet save polities.I know the charge that she is respon- gible for the ruin of her race since she first ate the forbidden {fruit in paradise, but I think there is a chapter in that matter of Edenic fruit not written.I think that Adam, when he saw Evo cat- ing that apple, asked for a bite, and getting it into his possession ate the most of it, and he immediately shook the tree for more apples and has been eating ever since.If woman did first trangress, I cannot forget that she introduced into the world the only being who has ever done much toward saving it.Woman has started for suffrage, and she is a determined and persevering creature, and sho will keep on until she gets it.She may yet decide

for refreshments and direots the laying of the table.She isa fine musician and plays for the dancing herself, but this is not an indispensable qualification, for it is always easy to supply the music.However, there are other requisites for success in the occupation, and first of all is a love for children and a thorough understanding of how to give them a royally good time.Miss Ashburn is familiar with all the old games and in devising interesting new ones.She enters into the sport with the liveliest zest, leading in the play, and is watchful to draw in the diffident, backward children who otherwise would play the tiresome role of wallflowers.She is clever and ingenious also in varying her programmes and providing some novelty for the rapidly succeeding parties.At a recent one the climax was a fishing pond.In a bay window, screened off from the room, were as many parcels as there were guests.A little boy was appointed fisherman and given a fishing rod, and he drew forth the packages.Each parcel contained a toy, and after Miss Ashburn had called the little folks about her and likened them to the pi- goons of Venice, of which she told them, the fishing began, The fascinating uncertainty as to the contents of the packages kept up the interest to the end, and when the last fish was drawn the dining room door was opened, and the little folk went in to enjoy a dainty feast.\u2014Boston Woman's Journal The Duchess of York, The attention of the visitors at St.Moritz is at present concentrated on the two morning glories of the place\u2014her royal highness the Duchess of York and her mother, the Duchess of Teok, both of whom go about as freely and with as little form as the very natives themselves.There are a fow young people in attendance, it is true, but the hotel register alone betrays that.In the morning the Duchess of York walks about with a friend of her own age and seems to be very jolly and having a thoroughly good time, though it consists in nothing more than walking about to the different springs, ocoasion- ally stopping to listen to one of the many bands and looking in the jewelers\u2019 windows with as much interest as if she had never seen any of the bucketfuls of jewels all her own packed up at Bt.James palace awaiting her return, It is surprising there is never a crowd following or surrounding her, perhaps because it is difficult for a stranger to distinguish her among the throngs of English girls going about.She, like the rest, invariably dresses in serge Bair and coat, with sailor hat.You have all read so much about her that J hardly need describe to you a girl taller an the average, with heavy awkward \u20acor, Low ong sixonals tha German Ly pe, Willd VOEY ois: trousse nose and large lips so red as t.suggest rouge, but withal a thoroughly jolly, good natured expression, Thc Duchess of Teck is Bo stout that walking is no easy matter, but nevertheless she strolls about among the shops, receiving a very cordial welcome from all, for she is an old habitue of the place, and it is said more generously inclined than her august cousin, Vio- toria.\u2014Boston Transcript.Dawu Con The Gainsborough Returns, Stepping into an ultra fashionabla London shap two weeks ago, I asked the little milliner in charge to show me the very smartest hat designed for the opening season.Wzih the nbiquitous \u201cThank you\u2019 of the English saleswoman, regardless of ?-hether you or she is doing the favor, my request was granted.It was a Gainsborough.Had one of the famous framed ladies stepped down from the wall of the academy and offered her picturesque hat for sale the resemblance could not have beca more perfect.And this shape beyond all question is to be the correct head covering for winter weather.Velvet is the material preferred, though felt, of course, is always in vogue.At the right side, set at a coquettish angle, are a bunch of curled ostrich tips, while two narrow bands of velvet overlaid with jet passementerie encircle the crown, and lastly a brilliant jet buckle is decoratively placed, completing a charming confection.The hat must be tilted a bit to the left, and underneath the right side of the brim must be added a long eared bow of light velvet that contrasts prettily with the hair and complexion.Nine women out of every ten are delighted at the revival of tis fashion, for the picturesque is always the most becoming.The hat I saw was of black velvet and black tips, the jet orystallizing two pink velvet bands, while the bow on the under side was of the same material.It was sold and sent home later to a New York woman and will probably be the first one worn there, although orders were already being filled for American buyers.\u2014London Letter in Detroit Free Press.Mrs.Amelia Bloomer.Not many people know how the name of bloomer came to be applied to the style of woman\u2019s dress sometimes called the divided skirt.Mrs.Amelia Bloom- or, after whom the garment was christened, resides with her husband in Council Bluffs, their residence today being the one in which they took up their abode 40 years ago, when Council Bluffs, now a city of 25,000 people, was à somewhat straggling village of 800 souls.Mrs.Bloomer, flow 76 years old, carries her years easily, her 54 years of married life having been unmarred by other than the fleeciest of temporary clouds.It was in 1851 that she began to wear the costume which is now known throughout the English speaking world as the bloomer.She was then living at Seneca Falls, N.Y., where she was publishing a temperance paper called The Lily.In addition to being a Prohibition advocate the paper also devoted considerable space to the subjcot of woman suffrage.A Mrs.Miller, who in 1851 paid a visit to Seneca Falls, appeared in the bifurcated dress, and Mrs.Bloomer published a description of it.She and Elizabeth Cady Stanton acdgpted the style and advocated its general adoption.Mrs.Bloomer wore the costume on several lecture trips, and in this way it became associated with and finally known by her name.By and by Horace Greeley took the subject up and was followed by othet editors, the result being that the bifurcated dress became known all over the country as the bloomer.\u2014Chicago Post.} Purity and Politics.In the west, says a Woman\u2019s Journal correspondent, \u2018\u2018the practical inconvenience that might be feared from the vote of immoral women has not been found to result where equal suffrage is an established fact.Judge Kingman of Wyoming says: We have had no trouble from the presence of bad women at the polls.It had been said that the delicate and cultured women would shrink away and the bold and indelicate come to the front in public affairs.This we feared, but nothing of the kind has happened.In Kansas during the early days of municipal suffrage for women an attempt was once or twice made to bring out bad women to vote in the interest of a particular candidate.In each case, as soon as the matter got wind, the goed women of the place turned out in great indignation and buried that candidate out of sight under their votes.\u2018\u201cAs the good women everywhere outnumbered the bad ones a hundred to one, candidates have grown wary by experience and now avoid any attempt to get the vote of the bad women as they would shun the smallpox.The dispatches from the Colorado elections reported that the three classes of women who generally neglected to vote were the very ignorant, the ultra fashionable and the demimonde.These women, as a rule, take no interest in politics and seldom vote unless special effort is made to bring them out, and the effort, as we have seen, is not made because it has been found that it does not pay.\u201d - IS THIS POSSIBLEY Are the Advanced Women Agitated Mere- 1y Because They Are Not Beautiful?Bix wood cuts of advanced women recently published by a newspaper are calculated to suggest to the beholder several thoughts of a painful nature Making sil allowance for the well known shortcomings of the woodcutter \u2014recalling indeed more finished por- traits\u2014these she-males are homelier than inartistic sin or unleavened virtue.Flashing a dark lantern into the caves and subterranean passages of memory, where such objects are packed away\u2014 æcanpialle 0?niehto after a late \u2014mnot one face favored by heaven out of the whole pack of advanced women smiles into view.Some there are that in youth may have been prepossessing, but there is no record that at that remote period they were advanced.Of the younger recruits there is not one that a man would turn his neck to look at\u2014not one, not one.And we all know that there are men that will walk backward to stare at any woman decently good looking.Now, the question naturally arises, Would these same women be advanced if they were possessed of that divine prerogative of their sex\u2014beauty?If they were even round and rosy and pretty?It is all very well to talk about the commanding strength of heredity and curtailed power of the environment, but just transform an ugly woman into a pretty one, and she will leap from pessimism to optimism like a torrent of water that has been unnaturally dammed.For men make this world a very pleasant place for pretty women even for those who dc not take undue liberties with the decalogue.Most women with beauty marry young and are quite content to let some one else fight the battle of life for them.If they make a mistake, they quietly divorce the deficient party in the contract, and, with ripened judgment, marry again.Those who don\u2019t marry and are forced to earn their own living find the way much easier if they please the eye of man, and naturally they take an optimistic view of life.- I am not prepared to deny that they meet many bold, bad men in the financial arena, but a keen witted girl can manage any man, and such trials are not to be mentioned in tho same hour with the dreary, hopeless, mud footed, backbone wilted tramp of the homely woman.The latter will \u2018\u2018get there, of course, if she has brains and persistence, but no success can compensate for that bleak and mortifying retrospect.No wonder she curses unsympathetic man even from the platform and in the polemical novel.She would bo justified in cursing the whole scheme of creation.Many of the prominent advanced have had a decent enough time of it financially.But just as surely as their viewpoint is stunted and warped they are plain, and man has not made their desert blossom like the rose.The world is all wrong to them, and they would make it right by shouting denunciation of man as he is spoke, not reflecting that shouting ruins the inflections of the voice and distempered thoughts turn the complexion green and life blue.The odd pags of it is that these women when thoy®vrite their novels invariably make their propagandist heroines beautiful.Bewitchingly, seductively, stormally, regally or circeanly beautiful aro these young women of paper who would resolve man into his elements and remake him after a pattern which would immediately bring the human race to an end.These writers paint women that physically represent all they themselves yearn to be, never reflecting that those pretty heads would not harbor their own distorted and indigo views of life five minutes.In the hands of a man author those same heroines would make the pages hum.But these wood cuts suggest another alarming question.Is beauty on the decline?For the ranks of the advanced are now many and many thousands strong.The suffrage movement, the temperance movement, the antiman movement, the anti-in-general movement, all of which may bo grouped under the general head of womanism, are filling space like a mighty flock of crows and hiding the light of the stars.Of course their chil- dren\u2014if they condescend to bave any\u2014 will be hideous, and the ultimate prospect is awful, for nothing that the human brain can evolve can ever take the place of beauty, whether it be beauty of face, of art or of a mountain under a purple mist.And as these women are as absolutoly without the sense of beauty as they are without proportion and humor the natural result will be, if they multiply and overrun the earth, that beauty and the perception of it will disappear.If nature manages to survive, she will be partitioned off into the tract arable and the tract unarable and can change her foliage to cinnamon pink if she lists, while, as for art, it will disappear altogether.The only hope this plenet has is that man will respectfully but firmly decline to marry the advanced woman, in which case the evil will be confined to the present generation.But there are as many feeble souled males in this world as there are distempered females, and the danger lies in their trembling admiration for and final absorption by the amazons of this immemorial quarter, in which case let us all thank our several fates that although we may be in at the death we will be spared the contemplation of a misbegos- ten posterity.\u2014Gertrude Atherton in New York Sun.Joined the Salvation Army.Miss Lamson and Miss Judson, two society young women of Cleveland, recently astonished their friends by joining the Salvation Army.They have been living in barracks in Cleveland and will now receive final instructions from General Booth.Both of the young women gave up homes of luxury.Miss Lamson\u2019s father is judge of the court of common pleas, and Miss Judson\u2019s family is quite wealthy.mrad Alexander Dumns\u2019 Kindness.Mme.Celine Chaumont tclls a story of Alexander Dumas which illustrates his kindness of heart.He met her at a time when she was little known, poor and almost starving herseli to keep a sick husband and their child.Not knowing the circumstances, Dumas, who was shocked at her appearance, told her she ought to go home, eat a good meal, and drink some good wine, which she explained was impossible.That evening she found that a big basket had arrived at her house accompanied by the following letter in Dumas\u2019 handwriting: **My Dear Child,\u2014I am dining at Brebant\u2019s with a few friends and drinking a claret which would restore your calor and strength.Do me the Kindness to taste it.Don\u2019t thank me; what I do is only for love of art.I said you would show talent some day, and you must have a chance of proving it, or I shall look like a fool.You needn\u2019t be afraid of depriving us, Brebant says he has got another hot.tle.Cheer up!\u201d The people quickly recognize merit, and this is the reason the sales of Hood's Sarsaparilla are continually increasing.Hood's is \u2018\u2019on top.\u201d T.W.Foster s new dining room open to midnight.Oysters served in all styles \"at short notice, Cor.St.Paul and McGill Streets.THE PAVED (CONTINUED.) \u2018Ah! but I have thick black hair, not lovely and golden, and great dark eyes-\u2014\u201d Then you must be like your mother.She was a beautiful woman, Benedetta, and a noble one, although not one of the rish or well-born of the earth.Your father was of a good race; and long years ago, when he came to settle in Rome, left, I believe, grand relations who were angry enough at his choice of a profession.But your mother was the only daughter of a dear old mutual friend of.ours, Benedetto Branconi by name.He kept a curiosity shop there at the cornen of the Via Tre Fontani.He never sold much.He was more of a virtuoso than a merchant, and loved collecting relics rather than parting with them\u2014a true artist, but not a man to make much money.It went to his heart to sell the bits.of antiquities bé had been at such \u2018pains to gather together, and Ibave known him hide away in a corner some pet trifle of virtu for fear any one should take a fancy to it and want to buy it.He could give your mother little or nothing in the wav of a dower, so it was but a menage of love and lentils that your faths er had.But Olinta Branconi was a woman to brighten the darkest life and to make even poverty beautiful.Your father did wisely in 2is choice, though K doubt if those relations of his up in the North would have thought so.But they probably never heard of kis marriage, non of your existence, my Piccola.\u201d ©] don\u2019t want them to hear of me,\u201d she whispered confidingly.; \u201cPoor as they -were; however, I doubt if ever a mother looked with greater joy upon the face of her babe than did yours; and, as it had been agreed upon that the child was to be named after her father, you were called Benedetta.\u201d ¢Is my grandfather alive yet, Maestso?\u201d?\u2018Oh no, child.He died years ago, in his little room, at the back of the curiosity shop.His collection bas been sold, and Branconi\u2019s name removed from the door long since.\u2019 There was another short silence, then he spoke again, it seemed with something of an effort.; \u2018Detta, sit up; I want to tell you more.Have you ever thought of leaving Italy, and \u2019Nunciata:\u201d She began to tremble.\u2018\u2019Leaving Rome, Maestro?would come, too?\u201d \u2018Do you love me then, Piccola?\u201d The little crampedwp figure suddenly slid down upon the floor, and bending low, laid its lips upon his feet.\u2018That much, Maestro! more than that!\u201d \u2018Come back, Detta; give me your attention.When your father \u2018died, his works were all sold, and they realized a fair sum of money.For, with the cruel irony of fate, so frequent in this world, men\u2019s tongues began lustily to praise the dead artist whose grave had been first dug by their contempt.Had you been penniless, little one, you would always have had a roof to shelter you, if nothing more\u2014for that I promised youn father upon his death-bed, and you would Buf you Oh, much, much have been welcome for his sake.For, from the first day I saw.him, I loved him\u2014in the years when I, too, had eyes to see life's clouds and sunshine, as well as to hear its harmonies and discords.\u201d He paused a moment.\u201cBut after that sale yom were by no means penniless.\u2019Nunciata, who, as you know, had been your mother\u2019s servant, was glad to stop on and take, as best she could, a mother\u2019s place toward you; and she has done her duty faithfully, for she is an honest soul, though sometimes rough.But the sum of money is almost untouched, for you have cost as yet little or nothing; a child like you, content with, simple fare, and, I fear,\u201d and he \u2018touched the coarse material of her dress doubt fully, \u2018*almost in rags.Dut I must do my duty toward you, Piccola.You must rot be allowed to grow up ragged and untaught and wild; you must go to school and be civilized, and learn to know somes thing of your own people and language.\u2018Are you aware that you are an Englishwoman, my Detta?\u201d \u201cNo, no!\u2019\u2019 she exclaimed, breathlessly.@I am Italian\u2014Roman!\u201d \u2018But your father was English} She was silent.\u2018\u2018And before his death he told me his wishes concerning you.He had changed, his mind then, and was sorry, ke said, for your sake, that he had so cut himself off from his relations.They were not really bard \u2018or unjust, he thought.He had been impulsive and seif-opinionated as a youth, and in too great a hurry to resent interference and to shake himself free from Control.It was perhaps, natural that they should have treated his artistic schemes but coldly, and he admitted that the many years of estrangement that had since ensued, were due chiefly to his own proud spirit, which shrunk from reconciliation with those whom he felt, with bitter humiliation, might point to his unsuccessful career as the fulfillment of their own predictions.But, under the shadow ofr death, pride is apt to melt away, and family bondg to renew their force; and your father, Detta, began to think more of your welfare and less of his own independence.Old associations began to press upon him; be began to regret the ties he had flung away; and I think his heart yearned after his old home and his childhood\u2019s days.\u2018Do not let her grow up an Italian\u2019 he paid to me, speaking of you.\u2018Some day, when she is bigger, send her to England, if you can.Write to my relations; perhaps they will be good to my child for.my sake\u2014it has been more my fault than theirs-\u2014I never could stand a word of interference.\u2019 But, Piccola, time flies fast, and the years have gone over our heads, more quickly than I thought.You are growing up into a big girl, and we must folfill your father\u2019s wishes.I must write to these relations fof yours, whose addresses he gave me.Heaven grant that they are not dead and buried! Bat we need not beg of them, at any rate as yet; there is money enough and plenty of your own to send you toschool for many a long day, and teach you many things.And after that, if they do not want you, why then, Piccola, we shall have done as he wished, and you \u2018can but return to youn old Maestro, to keep his home for him till he dies.There was no answer, but he felt the heaving of the small bosom pressed against his own.\u201cSo now, Detta/ you must be brave and wish to go to England, will you not?\" \u2018But will you come too, Maestro?\u2019 \u201cI cannot take you there, my child; How could a blind man?I must find some one to go with you: As for me, I shall, of course, remain in Rome.\u201d A bitter cry wang through the empty room.\u201cI must go alone?Not without you, Maestro.Oh, not without you!\u201d \u2018J thought my Piccola was brave?\u201d \u2018\u2019But I love you!\u201d And flinging her arms around him, she burst forth into _passionate weeping.long; CHAPTER IL; Two months bad passed.\u2018A: bright Jans tary sun was shining down on the stone- paved courtyard of the old Palazzo.An open arcade, supported by columns, ran round the yard, and beneath this, perched on a rough stone stool, sal Detta ,swinging her feet impatiently, and paying but little attention tothe piece of coarse knits | ting which had been placed in her hands.Annunciata, a stout, comely woman of the middle class, dressed after the fashion of her townspeople, horried in and out \u2018chrough the various open doors, intent upon household cares, while Pippo was busily engaged in teasing two kittens at play in an adjacent corner of the courtyard.\u201cWhen will Ino come?Is it not nean noon:\u2019! asked Detta for the third or fourtly time.\u201cDio mio! Can she not tell by the height of the sun?I have no time to be always running to look at the clock,\u201d was Annunciata\u2019s somewhat impatient responses while Pippo paused in his whistling, re+ marking scornfully: \u2018Poverina! Can she not do without ten sweetheart for a few minutes longer?\u201d Detta bent down, and deliberately seizs ing upon the missle nearest to her hand, flung it at Pippo\u2019s head.He, knowing by.experience that a bunch of uncooked onions is apt to be disagreeably hard, ducked adroitly, and at the same moment An- nunciata darted out and arrested the girl\u2019s hand.\u2018Santa Maria!\u201d she exclaimed; \u201c\u2018dost thou think vegetables are bought merely.to be knocked about here and there in thy silly fooling?\u201d But the next moment the scene changed, as a youth entered through the open doorway leading out into the street.He was tall and slim, and moved with that peculiar grace so common among Italians.His features, too, were Italian in their classic beauty.Liguid southern eyes looked out from the low white forehead surrounded by clustering black curls, giving fire and expression to a face which otherwise, with its clear-cut profile and finely moided lips, might have been almost too statue-like.At his coming Pippo ceased to tease the cats, while Detta flung down her knitting, and ran toward him with a joyful exclamation.\u201cI thought you would never be here,\u201d she exclaimed; \u201cit is so dull without you.Your mother will not let me go out by, myself.\u201d \u201cMy mother is right,\u201d said the boy, gravely, putting his arm with familiar affection around her shoulders.\u201cA little maid like you should not ramble about the streets of Rome alone.\u2019 \u201cCome, then, quick,\u201d she said, \u2018\u2019and let us have dinner; then we will start at once for our walk.\u201d Raffaelino dived into the dark kitchen, and presently returned bearing two basins of steaming soup, which he placed upon a stone table at one end of the arcade.\u201cHere we are,\u201d said he.\u201cWe will have our dinner out in the sun, Piccola, will we not\u2019 (To be Continued.)

Commissioners got through a good deal of business yesterdny morning at their monthly meeting, Rev.Dr.MacVicar pe sided, and there were also present t e Venerable Archdeacon Evans, Rev.Prar cipal Shaw, D.D., Daniel wilson, Ald.McBride, Ald.Costigan, and E, W.Ar- hy, superintendent.Yn rene announced that he had a communication from the Rev, M.de Sola, stating that as the previous day was the Jewish Day of Atonement he could not attend the meeting proposed to have been held in the evening to confer on the Jewish school question.Archdeacon Evans asked if any com- mumication had been received from the e oard.he nan sajd that he understood they were waiting for the decision of the Superintendent of Public Instruction as to the legality oi the proposed ement.A Earthy read the report of the Night Schools Comniittee, which was adopted.This merely gave the names of the centres and teachers.The Board agreed to increase the salary of Miss E.Binmore from $580 to S600 per annum, and that of Miss MR.Charlton from $320 to $340.The report of the High School Committee stated that the result of the June examination, although the schools did not furnish either the first boy or the first girl in the A.A.list, was satisfactory, whether as compared with previous years or with other schools at the present examinations, It was recommended that the First Form, containing 90 boys, be divided into three, that Miss Sinclair be promoted and Miss Grafton, of Berthelet Street School be transferred to take her place; that the 2nd and 3rd Preparatory classes in the Girl\u2019s High School, numbering 84, be also divided into three, and that Miss Marion Taylor, Sherbrooke Street School, be transferred to take charge of the additional class; that the voluntary class in gymnastics be reformed under Mr.Macaulay; that Miss Smardon be engaged temporarily as teacher in the Girl's High School at a salary ot $32.80 per month; that 2 monthly half- keliday for punctuality be given on the first Saturday of the month; and that tha rector, lady principal, and superintendent arrange for an open session of the two schools at an early date.The report was adopted with all recommendations, THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.The report of the superintendent gave the following figures in regard to the attendance at the various schools under the Board's care during the month of September: Ann Street, 377 pupils, increase 14; Berthelet Street, 507, increase 15; Britannia, 128, decrease, 9; Dufferin, 624, Increase 168; Girl's High School, 476, increase 10; High School, 599, increase, 58; Hochelaga, 85, increase, 11; Lans- downe, 681, increase, 27; Lorne, 612, increase, 28; Mount Royal, 710, increase 428; Riverside, 624, increase 163; Royal Arthur, 446, increase 34; Senior, 171, decrease 242; Sherbrooke Street, 394, decrease 151; Victoria, 556, decrease, 41, The total attendance amounts to 6,990, and increase of 507, 1,444 of these being educated free.There are 408 Jews and 140 Roman Catholics, The Board has in its employ 200 teachers, about one to every thirty-five pupils.The increases in the attendance at Dufferin, Riverside, and Mount Royal schools is owing to the enlargement of these buildings, The decrease in the Senior school was due to the removal of the public school department, and that in Sherbrooke Street School was owing to the reduction in dts capacity.The opening of the Mount Royal and Dufierin schools had resultei in a better distribution of school districts, but the superintendent regretted that it is not yet convenient to reduce the number of classes so that no teacher shall have more than {forty scholars under them.To do this about sixty additional teachers and as many more class rooms are required, In the public schools half the classes contain more than forty pupils, and of these many contain between fifty and sixty.Mount Royal School is now the largest under the Board, and the erection of the new building has attracted more residents to the district, who have moved in to educate their children there.The capacity of Sherbrooke Street School is reduced to eight class-rooms, and it 1s also well filled.It is the only one of the old schools not enlarged, and he suggested that the time had now come to consider the advisibility of enlarging it.A committee might be appointed to consider the matter and report, Respecting the teachers appointed at the last meeing they had been assigned as follows: Miss Struth- ers and Miss Everett, to Lorne School; Miss Howe and Miss Lamb, Riverside School; Miss Ross, B.A., Royal Arthur School: Miss Reid, Mount Royal; Miss Curran, Hochelaga, Archdeacon Evans, Dr.Shaw, Ald, Costigan and Mr.Wilson were appointed as a committee to look into the Sherbrooke Street School matter, The following ladies were taken on as teachers, and their assignment left to the superintendent: Miss M, Dalgleish Miss Sarah Maxwell, Miss J.G.Palmer, Miss Ada Ræftford, and Mrs.Walton.An application from the trustees of the German Day and Night Schools for a grant of $200 to aid them in their work was acceded to, VW.A.Kneeland, B.A Riverside School, wro the formal opening of zhe new building, outlining what he considered would be an interesting programme.Dr.Shaw and Mr.Arthy were instructed to make all the necessary arrangements.Mr, Kneeland also wrote in regard to making use of the building once a month for public lectures or other educational Means, which would at the same time bring in a small revenue which might be expended in the formation of a school 11- brary, This was referred to the same Conunittes, Archdeacon Evens, although he rais~d some objections, was glad to see the enthusiasm shown by this headmaster, The Eastern W.C, T.U.was granted Permission to hold their monthly busi Ness meetings in a room of the Lans- downe School.On the motion of Ald.McBride the treasurer was instructed to look into the position the Board would be in in Case of a fire breaking out while any Portion of a building was being used for other than school Purposes, Several minor matters and routine bus- {ness were disposed of.its > head-master of te in reference to STOLE

Experiment to Test Charles Tanguay\u2019s Story.Judge Dugas had a small sheet before him yesterday, only three names being upon it, and these were minor cases.Rose Anu Dragon, wife of Joseph Can- tin, the first prisoner, got ten days for stealing a box of cigars.The last to step to the front was a wharf laborer named Charles Tanguay, charged with stealing a cheese, the property of the Dominion Steamship Co.He pleaded that he took the cheese out of the water, 150 feet from a steamship that was loading cheese, it had floated down to were he was stand.ding.The judge thought this story too thin and remanded him until Wednesday next.In the meantime an experiment will be made by the Court to see if a Canadian cheese will foat.\u2014\u2014 DISFIGURED THN LOOKOUT, And the Tintype Outfit Was Orderad or The trouble between Mr.McClanaghan, the restaurant-keeper of the mountain, and the Mount Royal Committee, was discussed at a meeting of the latter held yesterday, Mr.Coyle, Q.C., Assistant City Attorney, said that Mr.McClanaghan owed the city $920 for rent.He had been instruct- al to collect it, He found that Mr, Mec- Clanaghan had a large counter-claim against the city\u2014a claim for about $11,- 000.He had entered an action for the payment of the rent, but found that Mr, McClanaghan had engaged a number of lawyers to contest the claim for rent.The counter-claim was for the stoppage of the sale of beer on Sundays, and for the renting by the city of a portion of the premises already rented to Mr.McClana- ghan, He suggested that an effort should be made to effect a settlement.Ald, Stevenson asked for a written detailed statement of Mr, McClanaghan's claims and of the money he owes for rent.It appeared that he had furnished this statement, but that it had been mislaid in the City Attorney's office, The question will be considered at the next meeting, when Mr.Coyle will present a copy of the statement in question, together with a copy of the City Attorney\u2019s opinion thereupon, Ald, Stevenson wanted to know who had given permission for the placing of a tin type photographic outfit on the lookout.It was a monstrosity and disfigured the place.It should be taken away.Nobody knew who had given permission, A reference to the minutes showed that a Dame Lemire had applied to the Committee for permission, but that it had been tabled.She had put up her apparatus without permission, Park Ranger McGibbon\u2014\"\u2018It would not be there ii I had my will.\u201d It was decided that Dame Lemire be no- tifiel to take Ler tin-type affair away.The removal of a fruit stand and an advertising fence from the vicinity of the corner of Mount Royal and Park Avenue was also ordered.Ald .Stevenson refused to sign warrants for which there was

had been in poor health for some time past, the jury returned a verdict of death from natural causes.Mileage of \u2018\u201c\u2018Bents,\u201d The captains of the various police stations called on Mr.Brophy of the Road Department yesterday and asked him to indicate the mileage of the \u2018\u2018beats\u201d covered by their men.He gave them a large map and asked them to work their \u201cbeats\u201d on it, and when this is done he will name the mileage.It is understood that the information is required for Superintendent Hughes, who is compiling his annual report.Warden, King &

tenderers.Kn.gineer Pearson and his men are taking down the old furnaces with all possible despatch.Another Hitch.There may yet be some difficulty over the Water Committee coal contract.The Mayor has for the present refused to sign the contract awarded to Cohen and Son.The reason he refuses is that he is not certain whether the awarding of the contract was legal, because the deposit of Cohen and Son wag not in conformity with the specifications.These called for a deposit from each tenderer of ten per cent.on the cou- tract to be awarded.Cohen and Son deposited a cheque for §1,600.The proper amount is $1,781.05.If this insufficiency of their deposit does not render the contract with Coben and Son illegal, Mayor Villeneuve says that he will, of course, have no hesitation in signing it.McGill Notes, At a meeting of the students of the Arts Faculty Wednesday Messrs.E.E.Howard, 0.E.LeRoy and H.Marler were appointed as Sports\u2019 Night Committee.Their instructions were to confer

Belligerents.London, Oct.11.\u2014A despatch received here from Tien-Tsin, says that the Chinese officials no longer deny that the Japanese fleet commands the Gulf of Pe-Chi-Li.It is said that the Japanese admiral pays a weekly visit to every important station on the GuM, and makes his inspection leisurely.Eight Japanese cruisers sounded the entrance to the harbor of Wei-Hai-Wei for three hours on Saturday last, and then went across to Port Arthur, where they made observations without getting within range of the guns of that place.The Japancse fleet returned to Wel-Hai-Wei on Monday last, in single line keeping, their distances splendidly, and heading straight for the harbor.When almost within range, the fleet separated, and hovered around the narhbor entrance.The fort fired a few shots at the japanese; but the latter did not reply, and continued making observations until Count Ito's; flagship,.the steel cruiser Hashidate\u2019s eight(en guns fired once, whereupon the fleet reformed and steamed away in the direcs tion of Taku.The Tien-Tsin despatch adds that a Chinaman who was arrested there upon suspicion of being a Japanese spy, was tortured until he admitted the truth of the charge.He is to be executed.The same desgatch says that four spies have been arrested at Port Arthur for cutting the submarine wires connecting with the torpedoes.It is also stated that the fire which occurred at Tien-Tsin last Friday was of incendiary origin.TRITLE ALLIANCE TO INTERVEKE.Washington, Oct.11.\u2014The cable report that the Italian Minister at Pekin, in pursuance of instructions from his Government, had offered his services its mediator in bringing the China-japan war to a close, is construed at the legation here as a possible move on the part of the Triple Alliance\u2014Gemmany, Italy and Austria\u2014to intervene.Thus far all reports of European intervention in the war have spoken of England, France or Russia as the moving ,bowers, some reports stating that they would act together and others that they would act separately.But \u20ac action of Italy is taken to indicate \u2018That the three powers which have no territory in Asia, viz: Germany, Italy and Austria, are not wholly disinterested observers, while the powers which have Asiatic possessions, England, Russia and France, talk of intervening with a view to enlarging their possessions if China is dismembered, JAPAN WILL NOT ACCEPT MEDIATION.Berlin, Oct.11.\u2014It is semi-officially stated that nothing is known here cf the report that China has requested the mediation of Germany in the war between the former country and the japanese.A Japanese newspaper received at one of the legations here says: \u2018\u2018No offer oi mediation oa the part of a third power should be accepted by Japan until her objects shall have beem completely attained, which is to place Corean independence on a secure footing and to so crush the power of China as to leave her totally unable for many years to come to attempt any retaliation.\u201d Berlin, Oct.11.\u2014The semi-official Co- legne Gazette states that the powers have agreed not to oppose a Japanese advance on Pekin.LET THE POWERS INTERVENE, London, Oct.11.\u2014The Standard this morning publishes a leader in which it argues in favor of the immediate intervention of the powers, including the United Statesy in the Chinese-Japanese war.It urges England to take the initiative in the present awkward complications through Russian intervention.It thinks that Japan would be satisfied with the neutrality of Corea, a money indemnity and the possession of the I.oo Choo Highlands and the Island of Formosa.CAPTURE OF AN IMPORTANT POSITION.Shanghai, Oct.11.\u2014Shan Hai Kwan, where the Japanese are reported to have landed 40,000 troops, is directly on the line of the railroad now building from Tien-Tsin to Moukden, and is of great strategic importance.In fact, the opin- fon has been expressed that if Shan Hai Kwan is captured there is nothing to prevent the Japanese from marching on Pe- kin.A Japanese fleet was reported to have been sighted off Shan Hai Kwan on September 28, London, Oct.11.\u2014A dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Yokohama says that the Japanese Govermnent has decided to raise an intérnal war loan of ten million pounds, which, wogether with the new taxation for war purposes, will bring the resources of the Government up to twenty-six million pounds.A minority in the Cabinet favored a foreign loan owing to the recency of the last internal loan, Berlin, Oct.11.\u2014It is stated here that China has asked Germany to use her good offices with a view of terminating the war between China and Japan, London, Oct.11.\u2014A dispatch from Shanghai says that although the Chinese Government has plenty of men at its disposal, there is a total lack of modern arms for their use.This deficiency, the dispatch asserts, the Germans are endeavoring to supply.Many of the Chinese soldiers recently sent to the front have been armed only with jingals and bows and arrows.The families of the custom officials at Pekin are arriying at Shanghai by every steamer.WISH RUSSIA TO ANNEX THEM.Berlin, Oct.11.\u2014The

Analyse the Reason for it.Knoxonian, in The Canada Presbyterlan, | writes:\u2014It goes unsaid that Wilfred Laur: jer is at the present time the most | attractive political personality in the Dominion.Other public men excel him in certain lines, taking him all round, Laurier is easily first in the matter of personal popularity.Many of his political opponents admire him as much as his political friends do.There is a type of Grit that never admires anybody.The bitter, jealous, fault-finding Grit thinks that his duty to his party requires him to be continually prodding and kicking his leaders.Grits of that kind do not ad mire Laurier, for the simple reason that they never admire auybody but themselves.Nearly all the other people in the Dominion, however, do admire Laurier, and, for the time being at least he is Canada\u2019s most magnetic man.The causes of his popularity are hard to analyze.It is impossible to lay youn finger on any one quality and say, \u2018Now, that is the secret of Laurier\u2019s popularity, and strength.\u201d In the State he occupies much the same position as Dr.Donald Fraser ocoupied in the church, We neven pet saw a man who could explain the secret of Donald Fraser's power in the pulpit.We have heard a number of very, shrewd men try, but not one of them seemed to succeed even to his own satisfaction.Donald Fraser was not what is popularly called \u201ca man of the people,\u201d yet the people rarely failed to follow him.If he preached three times on Assembly, Sabbath in any Canadian city he drew the largest and most representative crowd of people every time, no matter who preached in the other churches.Laurier is not 8 \u2018man of the people\u201d in the sense in which vulgar demagogues nse that term.He is a polished, refined, highly educated gentleman.Like Donald Fraser, he has a good deal of style about him.He has! tone, genuine tone, without the slightest suspicion of shoddy or pinchbeck.The toughest old campaigner would not dare to slap him on the back and ask him to come in and \u2018\u2018take something.\u201d He is as unlike the old-line liquor-up, hail-fellow- well-met politician as possible, and yet he draws as large crowds as ever gathered around a public man in Canada, It ought to be remembered, however, that so far, whether by accident or design, Laurier\u2019s largest meetings have been held in the most cultivated communities.York, Brant, Peel and Winnipeg have each a population that for taste and intelligence cannot be surpassed in any part of Canada, or, for that matter, in many parts of the world.It would be easy to name communities in which the Opposition leader might find his fine eloquence eclipsed by some orator whose stock in trade con- Bisted of vulgar stories told in a vulgar way.Laurier\u2019s success as an orator has been won in Ontario, in the face of some immense disadvantages.He is a Frenchman, and for years it has been the business of certain parties in Ontario to stir up feels ing against their French fellow-citizens.He is a Roman Catholic, and since the æutamn of 1886 the most persistent ef forts have been made in Ontario to turn Protestants against Catholics.He represents a party that has been in a mins ority since 1878, and that, perhaps, never bad a larger majority against it in the Commons than it has now.He is not rich.So far as we know he has few, if any, influential connections.He has no offices to give.Nearly all his Parliamentary life has been spent in Opposition.And yet Wilfrid Laurier is easily the most popular man in Dominion politics.We do not pretend to state, much lesg to analyze, the causes that have given Mr.Laurier his high place at a comparatively.early age.He is an honest man, but wa hope honest men are not so soarce in Cane adian public life that common honesty, confers high distinction.He has a fine manner, but so has nearly every French man in the House, and several who are not Fronchmen.His English hag a peculiar charm because he learned it from books, while most of us learned part of ours on the street.He has no such humor as D'Arcy McGee had, or as Sir John Macdonald Had.He Las no such strength as George Brown had.Better voices than his could be counted by the dozen.He has a fine physique, but so have many other men.His position as leader explains nothing, because if he had not been what he i8 he never would bave been leader.Besides, it is the business of a certain type of Grits to belittle their own leaders.The Grits who under various names ttied to knife Sir Oliver last June as a rewazd for his twenty years of faithful service would natyrally think all the less of Laurier for being their leader: Very likely Laurier\u2019s success arises from a combination of qualities rather than from any one quality that mainly makey him what he is.There sre men of that kind.We have always thought that Donald Fraser was one of them.Itis hard to explain the power of a man of that kind.They are men of a fine, strong combination, and because their strength arises from the combination, you cannot name any one quality that makes them strong.THOS.GAUTHIER Accountant, Commissioner, Liquidator

half-yearly 5 per cent.Oct.15.Books closed Oct.1 to 15.Te- FINANCIAL.\u2014_ Thursday.Oct.11 The Stock Market while fairly active at this morning's session, had on the whole a weaker tone.Gas was the depressing influence.Many and various were the comments on the \u2018\u2018strect\u201d respecting the decision of the Company to put the $100,000 of new stock, the balance of the $500,000 issued, directly on the market, instead of, as had been expected in some quarters, giving it us a bonus to the present shareholders at par on a ratio of about one share in five.The company will probably 10 lize about $80,000 profit, without increasing the capital to that amount, by the plan of action they have decided to follow, as they expect to get about 180 for the stock.In consequence of the unfavorable comment in certain quarters, à bear raid was made on the stock at the opening, and the first sale was made ut 1824, ex-dividend, or 3 percent.lower than the close yesterday, and 4% percent.lower than yesterday\u2019s highest.Subsequently the stock rallied fractionally, at noon selling at 183} ex-dividend.Cable was lower iu sympathy, as after touching 143, it closed at 1444.Street Railway, new was } better, while in sympathy with the better feeling and consequent advance in London, Pacific advanced to 664 or F higher than Wednesday's price.Bank stocks were quiet but steady.Money is still easy and in abundant supply at 4 per cent, on call.At the afternoon board, business was exceedingly dulll but prices were a little firmer, Gas sold at 1833 tp 184, and a few Merchants Bank at 167.There were no, othet sales.Contrary to expectation, the Street Railway dividend was not declared to-day as the figures are yet completed, Meredith & O'Brien's Montreal market letter says: The resolution passed by the Gas Company was not at all favorably received by the \u2018\u2018street\u2019 and the stock opened 3 points below yesterday\u2019s close, but under steady buying it recovered Laif the decline.There is however a bearish feeling in it and calls were freely solid for tomorrow at 185.Calle, too, was weak in sympathy with Gas and the whole list, with the exception of Street Railway, was more or less off, Canadian Pacific made a rapid advance in London, recovering more than was lost yesterday.As we anticipated the earnings of the Company are beginning to show up better, and it is quite probable that the result of the year's business will not be as small as the bears expect.The afternoon business was confined to Gas and the market closed dull,

very much like that of New York, one day sh Hily lower and the next a slight ime provement can De seen.This morning prices for Bt.Paul and L.N.with a few others are J to Iz per cent higher, with the balance of the list about equal to New York's close.The whole market is very strony on reports -of an alliance between England, France, Germany, and Russia.NEW YORK STOCKS.L.J.Forget and Co\u2019s New York letter said: We see nothing in the situation at the moment to have any materlal change in prices, and the tone here is likely to be infiuenced by the trading for the professional bear element.Bull talk still is prevalent on Gas.We would sell Sugar on rallies.The break in Cordage was due to the fact that there has been an order to sell the stock in the market for several days, and yesterday Mr.Goi- couria was instructed to sell it for best Price obtainable.The decline brought better buying than has appeared on Previous slumps.The dullest kind of trading and a superabundance of professionalism would serve as well as anything else for a description of to-day\u2019s Stock Market.A little buying for London account and the information that there was generally a better feeling in that market which extended to Americans failed to produce more than a moderate rally this morning, and the expectation of the traders that there would be an artifical gold shipment if the continued strength of exchange did not cause a natural transaction of that kind, failed to create any real impression on prices.Sugar wus very strong in the early trading, and W.U.was attacked by the traders late in the day, without conspicuous success, while Cordage recovered part of its recent decline on scattered buying.The general market held firm at the close, and some few improvements were shown.\u2014 NEW YORK GOSSIP.Messrs, Meredith ang O'Brien's gossip by private wire from New York contained the following: Wabash first week October decreased 207,000, Texas Pacific increased s51,-

the Consolidated Exchange this morning.COMMERCIAL.Thursday, Oct.11.There was a pronounced increase in the amount of grain inspected in Montreal the past week.as will he seen by the following detailed statement: Wheat, 13,740 cen- tals No.2 Chicago Red Winter; 16,320 centals No.1 Manitoba.Corn, 280 centals No.3; rye, 840 do.No.1: 860 do.No.2.Barley, 576 centals No.2.Peas, 1,200 centals No.1; 68,700

quiet.There is a very tired feeling in all the markets in grain.The persistence with which private crop agencies assert that the actual production considerably exceeds the amount indicated by Government data has finally impressed holders in view of increased supplies at commercial centres, and the apathetic condition of foreign markets which are for the time being depressed by the plentitude of offerings from exporting countries.In ordinary times the ratio of exports to production would be a bull argument in both grain and provision markets.The total yield of all cereals in the United States in 1894 is ofli- cially declared to be less than the indicated production of corn alone, based on the returns of acreage and condition ninety days ago.SHog product, too, is selling at a loss com- ared with the price of the raw material, Pu the general condition of business throughout the commercial world is such that the exercise of an unusual amount of patience seems necessary to those investors who would hold speculative properties until the return of the flood tide, which is sure to follow small'crops and low prices.The estimated receipts of grain in Chicago to-morrow ave a8 follows : Wheat, G7 cars; corn, 120 cars; oats, 175 cars.Minneapolis reccived 478 cars and Duluth 385 cars.The receipts of grain in carg in Chicago to-day were as follows : Wheat, 70 ; contract,18, Corn,127; contract,102.Outs, 164; contract, 116.Hogs, 20,000.Chicago special: Correct figures onacre- age ore claimed to be thirty-three million seven hundred and seventy-four thousand acres, increasing the crop to four hundred and forty-one million seven hundred thousand bushels of wheat.The Government figures are: wheat crop 441,784,000 bush.; corn crop 1,129,878,000 bush.; cats 662,161,500 bush.crop.We figure that the report makes a crop of 435,- 000,000 bush wheaton an acreage of 33,245,- 000 bushels.Beerbohtn\u2019s cable report to-day says: Cargoes off coast, wheat quiet; corn, nothing offering, Ou passage and for shipment, wheat not much demand; corn rather casier.French country \u2018markets quiet.Weather in England, unchanged.Liverpool, wheat, less disposition to

does not appear to have helped the Chicago grain markets to any great extent, both wheat aud corn being lower.December wheat opened at 53kc, advanced to 53ic, fell again to 53kc, and afterwards

absolutely needed to fill out shipments and go no further.Advices from the other side are essentially of the same character, with no particular change noted.Holders here from an outsider\u2019s point of view take the things pretty contentedly and show no disposition to force businesa.If they did, there is no doubt but that we would have [to subtract about }e to ic from the figures given below.Meanwhile it can be characterized as a waiting game all round, with everyone waiting influential developments on the other side, The cable to-day quoted 49s 6d, and private cables mention

doing now, even jobbers being inclined to hold off.The dullness, however, has not brought about À any material change in prices, though it has hardly been prolonged enough for that.Shippers are doing absolutely nothing, a remark which will probably be repeated unless things improve on the other side, Finost CTEAMOry Le.cs aan sc sc cc 000000 20e to 2lc Townships, dairy lie to 180 Western.a ssene

FALL.A prominent freight agent remarked on *Change to-day that he thought the tonnage would be considerably less this fall than it has been for some years past.\u201cOf course,\u201d he said, \u201cthere will be sufficient space for all requirements: in fact almost more, but business is so excessively dull that many of the steamers going out this week will not come back.\u201d LIVE STOCK Thursday, Oct.11.\u2018The market is completely prostrated, but no worse than it was two weeks or so ago.Skippers are doing just as little as they pes- sibly can, and on what they are doing losses are the only results.Cables from Liverpool and Glasgow to-day were extremely unsatisfactory, inasmuch as sheep which have at least been making even money, are now coming out on the wrong side.This is due as the cables stated to the cxcessive shipments of American sheep.The decline has not been a surprise to anyone, ib being quits plain a week ago that there were al together too many going over.Shippers at the local markets to-day were paying about 8e¢ to 3c for sheep, but the latter figure was only obtainable on selections.There were few, if any, export cattle changed hands.Butchers\u2019 cattle were fairly active at the Point, while hogs were in less demand and lower.The probabilities are that towards the end of the season freight space will be getting prevty scarce.As it is there is not any too much, and with a good 4,000 head of cattle still to arrive from the Northwest, firm freights may be looked for.At present engagements are being made to Liverpool and London at 408 to 42s 6d, and to Glasgow and Bristol at 30 shillings upwards.Insurance premiums are firmer with risks being taken at 1§ p.c.to 2 p.o.There were about 500 head of butchers cattle, 60 calves and 1,200 sheep and lambs offered at the East End Abattoir to-day.The butchers were out in large numbers and there was a much better demand than on Monday, but there was no advance on the prices of cattle, common and inferior beef critters still bring very low rates.Ten of the best cattle on the market were sold at 3ÿc per Ib; pretty good cattle bring from 3c to 34c do.Calves were rather scarce and brought higher prices.Common calves sell at from 45 to §6 cach.Shippers are paying from 3je to 3Ëc per lb for good large sheep; good lambs brings from 3jc to 3jec do, common lots are trom 2ic to 3c per lb, and the culls sell at from $1 to $1.50 each.Tat hogs are lower in price, selling at from Be to 54c per lb.WHEAT SITUATION IN MANITOBA, In Manitoba the wheat situation has been entirety changed in one respect by weather conditions, says the Winnipeg Commercial.The heavy stream of wheat which was pouring into all country markets last week, was entirely checked by wet weather.On Monday country deliveries were large, but a general rain and snow storm set in Monday night and the weather continued drizzly all the week, { There was some effort at clearing up on Friday, but it was drizzly again this morning.This entirely cut off farmers\u2019 deliveries, and fn districts where the roads are heavy, wheat will not be moving actively for some days, even with clear weather.Threshing has stopped all the week, and undoubtedly a good many stacks would be damaged from the wet, though the bulk of the crop has been threshed under very favorable conditions.Some damp grain may be looked for when threshing is renewed.The stoppage of farmers\u2019 deliveries has been a relief to shippers as well as to the railways, as country elevators were packed with wheat and the condition was approaching & glut all over the country.Shippers appeared happy at the change.The rain was also badly needed by the farmers for fall plowing.The movement eastward was in fair volume, though not so large as last week, and would reach about 200 cars per day.If all the wheat of this crop were dumped together, it would easily grade No.1 hard, that is of eourse excluding unsound ain, such as smutty stuff, There is much talk about mixing wheat in transit at present, but the fact is there is very little wheat available for mixing, as it Is nearly all No, 1 hard.The rate from Duluth Is quoted at 2Ixc to Buffalo and 4c to Kingston.Prices in Manitoba Country markets have been about the same, though only mominal most of the week.At some points prices were 1 to 2c higher.We quote 38 to 41c to farmers in Manitoba Country markets, as.to freights.Car lot prices were firmer, though in the absence of country deliveries, couniry shippers were not offering much.THE EGYPTIAN COTTON CROP, Londpn, Oct.11.\u2014A despatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company from Alexandria, says that varying temperature, feos and worms, have somewhat affected the cottoa crop.The first picking, however, is good, and the second promises well.THE DAY IN WALL STREET.New York, Oct.il.\u2014The Evening Post\u2019s Wall Street review says: It is a matter of great regret that the Government crop reports command so little confidence.The best expert opinion since the September estimate was published has agreed that the Agricultural Bureau\u2019s corn harvest figures were too low by nearly 400,000,000 bushels, In this blunder\u2014if blunder it really was\u2014the Octaber estimate persists; and though the estimate is ralsed some 19,000,000 bushels over September, the difference is too small and the reasons offered for it too indefinite to change public opinion.Ii even the Government's revised estimate of October were confirmed, the year\u2019s corn harvest would be the smallest since 1874.The figures of outside experts place it merely on a level with 1887 and 1890.This is unpleasant enough and has its part, no doubt, in the current strength of sterling.In August, by the full Government export figures, issued today, we sent abroad only 846,745 bushels corn, against 7,166,494 a year ago.The crop report, therefore, had no influence on stocks ; indeed, the grain market\u2019s unchanged prices showed with what indifference the estimate is regarded.TELEGRAPHIC MARKETS, Toronto, Oct.11l.\u2014Market, dull.Wheat car lots of both red and white sold North and West frcights at 58c; No.1

ape.Yesterday afternoon a body was found in the bay which so far as recognizable was that of the missing man.It is uncertain how he came to his death._ The Mecen Pilgrim Traffic.An account of last year\u2019s pilgrimage to Mecca is now published in Consul Richard\u2019s report on the trade of Jeddah.As the principal day of the Haj fell on a Friday, it was anticipated the number of pilgrims would be very large, but the reality outstripped the most sanguine an- ticdlpations.At Jeddah and Yambo over 90,000 landed\u2014that is, about doulde the average\u2014and, in ail, from 250,000 to 300,000 persons went to Mecca during the season, British India supplying the largest number.Cholera, it will be re membered, raged in the Mecca valley while the pilgrims were there, the daily, number of deaths being at least 1,000, and, subsequently, the disease broke out at Jeddah, where they were waiting for embarcation, and from 500 to 600 deaths occurred daily.Mr, Richards says the official estimate of deaths of those who travelled by sea, which was 9,577, was certainly below the mark, while no fewer than 15,000 of those who went tc Mecca by land perished, Thus last Haj will be memorable for the extraordinary number of the faithful who took part in its ceremonies, and for the ravages, which were far greater than any previous record.\u2018Indeed, to a great cxtent, this may be considerod as aiy ordinary sequence of cause and eftect, although, undoubtedly, the fact that the simoon was blowing steadily and unintermittently for 11 days during the latter end of May, while the heat during the first ten days of June was unusually intense, contributed not a little to the development of) conditions under which the rapid spread of the dis ease was inevitable)!
