NO.312.STEPHENS STATES gHAT BOODLING IS GOING ON IN THE CITY OF MONTREM.IS SPEECH ON THE NONTREAL BILL IN THE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, 14 Mr.Casgrain Intreduces and Explains His Bill en the Subject of Newspaper Libel Law, (Special to the Herald).Quebec, Dec.28.\u2014 After routine business to-day the House took up the consideration of the act concerning newspaper libels.Hon.Mr.Casgrain, in moving the second reading of this bill, said that he now proposed to assimilate our legislation on the press to that of England, and of the other The position of the newspuper provinces.There were men who man was peculiar.read his sheet every day simply to find in it an occasion for a law suit.I'he newspaper should be protected against such practises.It generally was moved by a desire to advance public interests and it should enjoy certain immunities.The members of parliament and judges were not amenable to the courts for their utterances in the fulfilment of their public duties.The journalist, whose efforts are not less useful, should at least have the right to plead his good faith and his efforts to correct any uu- intentional wrong which he may have committed.It was the object of the bill now before the House to enable the newspaper publisher to do this.The plain- iff would have to give notice of his grievance to defendant, 3 ecifying the statements complained of.Il newspaper reports of the Courts, the deliberations of Parliament or of Public Meetings are privi- ledged if published in good faith.In any action for libel, the defendant shall be at liberty to plead and give in evidence in mitigation of damages that the piaintifl has already brought actions for or has recovered damages in respect of a libel to the same urport, as the libel for which the action Pas been brought.The defendant may plead asan absolute defence to an action for libel, that the defamatory matter published by him was true, and that it was for public benefit that it should be published.Those bringing the action conld be compelled at the discretion of the Court to give security for the costs, if the action is trivial.In all its provisions the bill did not depart from any of the accepted principles of right, but rather only \u2018regulated the procedure in actions for libel.The bill passed its second reading without further discussion.The House then went into Committee on Mr, Flynn\u2019s bill to amend the luw respecting woods and forests, with the special object of simplifying the procedure in cases of seizure by Crown [and'sagents.The bill also provides that in the case of limits of small extent, and when it is in the pubile iuterest to expedite the sale, the Commissioner may sell after notice of eight days published in the official Gazette.Mr.Dechene objected to this last clause a8 giving the Commissioner of Crown Lands arbitrary powers.The bill was, however, adopted on a strict party vote.The following acts were also read a third time: An act to amend the law relating to fisheries and fishing.An act to amend the tariff tolls for making use of improvements on rivers and streams, making it similar to the Ontario and Dominion laws.An act to amend the law concerning legacies, so that uncles will have Lo pay only five instead of ten per cent.on property which they way inherit from their nephews.p An act creating the Trembling Mountain ark.After recess Mr.Auge moved that the House go into Committee on the Montreal Bill.Mr, Kennedy stood up and said that it was his duty to declare that they had not received justice before the Private Bills Committee.That Committee had been at times more like a bear garden than a legislative body.This called forth a rebuke from Mr.Martineau, who said that the honorable member from St.Avw\u2019s Ward must not vaine that he was the only citizen of Montreal.The Speaker also remarked that a member must not.refer to a committee of the House in langnage which would be insulting, Mr, Stephens then said that he wished at once to answer all the arguments advanced by the partisans of the bill by going into a short history of the civic administration.First we have had the new Street Railway contract.Everybody is familiar with the scenes in Council when this contract was awarded.Aldermen ,called others ratters, traitors, renegades and the names of some were openly mentioned as having received $3,000 for their services.Not only the English press, but La Minerve denounced this contract in unmeasured terms.Did the facts warrant this indignation?Under this arrangement thecity received a percentage of the gross earnings of the Company and pays one half of the cost of removing the snow to keep the cars running.Under the old contract the company was obliged to keep the roadway between the track and for one foot on each side of the rails in good repair.This clause has disappeared.It Is a question now if the city will not be obliged to perform this work.If so, the city, instead of receiving a revenue from the company, will contribute to its support.In 1893 the company paid, as percentage on its earnings a sun of $29,612 into the city treasury.On the other hand the cost of keeping the roadway in repair is $550 per mile per annum, making for the whole system, which isto be 50 miles in length, a sum of $27,500.Add to this $30,000 which the city has paid for the removal of snow, and you have the proof that the city has disbursed for the Company over $27,000 more than it has received from it.Why did the aldermen make such a bad bargain 7 They had much better offers rom several companies.Mr.Williams offered a cash bonus of $100,000 and a larger percentage of the gross earnings while complying with all the conditions ir.hosed by the Council.The refusal of his offer entailed a cash loss in the first Year of bom tr ie S120 00 ay in 1892.But the Company which secured the contract in Montreal employed seven aldermen ag con tractors in the erection of its power house.he contracts for erecting its office building Were also divided between four or five alder.Men.Aldermen held stock in the company tthe time the contract was given, All these facts have been published in Montreal aud have never been contradicted.He who runs may read.Another brilliant transaction of the al- igen of very recent date was the electric Nd contract, which was specially engi.tog by Ald.Rainville.Ald.Villeneuve : Ald, Rainville in Council that Was acting as advocate for the comp detre Company which sewed the + \u201cNot even in the City Hall hag A0RRIRG ERITION, TELEPHONE MATCHES MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1894.a more daring public robbery ever been attempted than is now Leing tried by the gang,\u201d said one of the leading papers at the time.Mr, Louis Perreault, an ex-alder- man, wrote at the time: \u201cNever before in the history of Montreal has the impudent proposition of awarding a contract of a million dollars at the log rollers\u2019 sweet will been made without at least asking for tenders.\u201d In spite of all protest, the job was put through, and without the formality of calling for tenders, the contract was given to the Royal Electric Company at $120 per light.Thereure many cities in the United States who get the same lights for $55 and even 850.It is casy to calculate the city\u2019s loss.To show that he was not less skilled than Ald.Rainville, Ald, Prefontaine shortly afterwards engineered the Gas deal, by which the city granted a franchise to thé Coates Company on condition that gas should be supplied to the citizens ut 95 cents.The Coates Company has sold the franchise for 8400,000, and the citizens are left at the mercy of a monopoly.\u2018The contract was so framed Ly the legal lights of the Council that the city appears to have no recourse.The contracts granted by the Roads Department have always b2en arranged so as to favor pet contractors.The specifications for asphalt paving provide that the coat of rock asphalt shall be only two inches thick, while that of Trinidad asphalt must be 212 inches.This is done to favor the rock asphalt contractor who has a monopoly.In spite of that the tenders for Trinidad a-phalt were much lower than these for rock asphalt.After a long fight in 1892, Ald.Prefonfaine succeeded in having the contracts given to the Sicily Asphaltum Company, at an extra cost of over twenty thousand dollars to the city.That, effectually discouraged all competition, and since that the Sicily people have enjoyed a monopoly, of whicly they have taken advantage to increase their prices, The loss to the city may be realized from the fact that in 1892 the Sicily Asphaltum Company had contracts for $278,000.Hand in hand with the asphalt contractors goes the contractor for firimite sidewalks, Mr.Dansereau, who is a relative of Ald.Hurteau.These sidewalks are paid one-half by the proprietors, one half by the city.The contractor goes around to proprietors and offers them a rebate from the contract price.He charges the city the full price.As the price is $2.65 and the sidewalks can be laid for $1.50 he can afiord to bribe the proprietors, I might refer to the tail race job, a very small affair, by which the city lost $25,000 or to the incinerator site deal, in which land changed hands twice in the same day, and was paid for at twice its value by the city.All these scandals) have been exposed in Montreal, Still we are confronted with the challenge that we cannot make a specific charge.Well, Mr.Speaker, I will speak only for myself.While I was in the City Council I gave myseli the trouble to expose a little schndal in which Ald, Hurteau was connected, and after a fair trial before the courts that gentleman was turned out of the Council for having sold lumber to the city, under the name of Chausse & Co.The same thing might be done over and over again, ii citizens would take the trouble anl go to the expenditure necessary.Public opinion in Montreal is well aware of this, and it found expression in the last general rlection, when out of 36 aldermen only 14 were returned to the Council.Aîter referring to the Montreal Water and Power Company, and to the injustice of the expropriation system, Mr.Stephens said : I come now to the race or East End cry which has been raised by Alderman Prefontaine and his friends.I will only reply by a short statement of facts.For nearly twenty years the Roads Committee has been presided over by an East-ender and a French-Canadian, and controlled by a majority from the same section.The expenditure of that committee has been as foilows: 1,031,000 vast and ever increasing expenditure of money, the East End majority has had ample opportunity to correct any injusticz which might have been done in the long long ago to their sec- But of this tion of the city.And Mr.Speaker, they have not neglected the opportunity.The city gave a million to secure the terminus of the North Shore Railway for the East End, and now it has voted another million to get an East End Station, Tunnels and ramps have b2en opened regardless of expenses, Nearly a hundred thousand dollars were expended to build an iron bridze over the C.P.R.tracks at St.Catherine Ssreet.A subway has been erected at the Fast End of Ontario Street at a cost of $200,000, St.Catherine St.has been expropriated and Notre Dame Street is to be expropriated in Hochelaga Ward at heavy costs to the city.Hoch- elaga Ward, the extreme east, received in 1803 not less than 17,762 tons of macadam and 9,102 yards of wooden sidewalks, much more than any other ward, We do not begrudee these improvements to the East End, but we say Mr.Speaker, that the tine has come when the city can no longer boar such heavy expenditures.When Ald.Prefontaine entered the Council in 1883, the liabilities of the city were $11,940,000, and now they are $24,000,000.The plan tol increase the assessment of the property to produce an increase of revenue to face the interest charges has heen made to yield all it could give, and last year the Finance Committee found itself in the necessity of increasing existing taxes and devising new ones.The hour for the consideration of private bills being almost over, Mr.Auge consented to accept the suggestion of Hon.Mr.Hall that consideration of the bill be postponed until Wednesday next.Friends of the bill had arranged everything to secure its adoption to-night, and the delay seems to have disappointed them very much.During the time left the Klectoral League bill was adopted and also the bill to incorporate the town of Summerlea.The House then went into committees on Mr.Casgraw\u2019s libel law.The discussion ras a lengthy one, Messrs.Duplessis, Auge and Martineau declaring themselves opposed to exceptional privileges for journalists.The bill.was eloquently defended by Hon Mr Taillon, Mr.Stephens and Hon Mr.Pelletier and Hon.Mr.Flynn.After adopting the first three clauses of the bill the Committee reported progress.Hon.My.Flynn moved the House into Committee to consider the bill respecting the proposed Laurentides National Park.Mr.Fitzpatrick said that 2 not wish (Continued on Page 2.) =

Dec.28.\u2014Ex-Alderman Wm.T.Stewart was arrested about nine o\u2019clock to-night on a warrant which charged that on June 9th, 1894, he being then a member of the City Council, did counsel and in struct John J.Wright to pay him the sum of $13,000 to be used for the purpose of in ducing him, the said Stewart, and othe members of the Council to vote in favor of the franchise and cou- tract for the lighting of the streets of Toronto being given to the Toronto Electric Light Co.It will be remembered that in the recent iuvestigetion, J.J.Wright of the Toronto Electric Light Co., swore to this effect, as also that Stewart promsed to get for him a copy of the figures of the Street Railway Company\u2019s tender for the same contract.Stewart was chairman of the Fire and Gas Committee, but resigned his place in the Council during the investigation.The arrest was made at the instance of the County Crown Attorney.Stewart was brought to Police Headquarters and admitted to personal bail of $2,000 and two sureties of $1,000 each, sureties being found in a few minutes.The case will come up at the Police Court in the morning.A COUP D'ETAT.Governor J.M.Fortier Dismisses his Premier, Thos.Cote.ONTREAL has become the scene of a - ; coup d\u2019etat which - threatens to rival in interest that of Re- Æ, tellier or of Angers.J.W.Fortier, Governor of the Parlement Modele has dismissed his Prime Minister, Thos.Cote, and called upon P.Arthur Cote to form another administration.The reasons for this are set forth in a letter from the Governor to his late Premier and in the reply of the latter.The Governor was asked to call the Parlement Modele on January 9, 1895, but refused and dismissed Mr.Cote and his Cabinet on the following grounds: (1) That in the speech from the throne last session the Government made promises of legislation which it did not keep; (2) that the Government added to certain laws preambles which were fallacious or deceptive; (3) that the Government adopted important measures without properly consulting the Governor; (4) that the sanction of the Governor to certain laws wes obtained by surprise.Mr.Cote in the course of a spirited reply denies the accusation of the Governor and maintains that he acted constitutionally throughout.In conclusion he declares that he is going to uphold the cause of constitutional liberty against the attacks recently made on it in this Province and warns the Governor that this coup d\u2019etat will be blighted by the majority of the Parlement Modele.A CONSERVATIVE SPLIT.Discord in the Ranks of the Ottawa Conservative Association.Ottawa, December 28.\u2014The special general meeting of the Conservative Association for the city was held to-night in Grant's Hall, and was a lively affair.It was held upon a requisition which alleged that the Association had not been called together for three years.It wus, in fact, a movement by what are known as the McVeity Conservatives to remove the old officers and smash the \u2018\u201cmachine\u201d which they say has been running ministerial matters in this city.Mr.Taylor McVeity, the candidate for for the Legislature of the Conservative convention last June, when the President, Mayor Cox, and Treasurer, Mr.J.We.McRae, resigned over the mix in regard to the Legislative contest which resulted in the re-election of the Mowat candidates, was among those present.Vice.-President Currier was in the chair.Most of the prominent old timers cf the Association were absent and ignored the meeting, and the McVeity crowd carried vervthing, deposing the old officers en masse and electing John Asquith, President, F.W, Binder, Secretary, and Jacob Erratt, Treasurer.There were many exciting speeches, and things grew so hot at one time that Mr.Wm.Stewart, a contractor, took of his coat and threatened to \u201click\u201d Mr.MeVeity.The split is now complete, and Mr.McVeity will be in the field for the Commons against all comers.TALMAGE'S INTENTIONS.He Will Preach on Sunday Afternoons in New York.Brooklyn, N.Ÿ., Dec.28.\u2014The Rev.Dr.De Witt Talmage announced to-day that he would preach every Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Academy of Music, New York.He will begin next Sunday week, Jany.6.When asked why he selected 4 o\u2019clock in the afternoon, he said: * Because pastors of New York have written saying that afternoon services would not interfere with their churches.Otherwise I would prefer morning or evening.\u201d The doctor said he had many places under consideration, one having been selected by a syndicate in England, \u201cLarge sun.s were offered me,\u201d he said, \u201cbut my business is not to make money; it is to preach the Gospel, and my lifework is in that.\u201d It is hardly possible, the dostor said, that be will ever preach in Brooklyn again, as his pastorate in that city is ended.He will, however, continue to live in Brooklyn, Travellers Elect Oflicers.Toronto, Dec.28.\u2014The result of the counting of the ballots cast in the election of officers of the Commercial Travellers Association of Canada was made known late to-night, the counting of the ballots having lasted three days.R.J.Orr, was elected

PRICE ONE CENT GOFF GOT DENIALS.NOT MUCH SATISFACTION FROM INSPECTOR WILLIAMS, Mr.Comstock Continues to Say Nasty Things About Mr.Goff and His Methods, New York, Dec.25.\u2014When the Lexcw Committee began operations on this the next to the last day of its labors, for this year at all events, there seemed to be a lull in the interest manifested by the public during the previous sittings of the Commission, but before Mr.Goff had got well under way, the court roow rapidly filled aud there wasthe usual throng of spectators.Inspector Williams again faced Mr.Goff and resumed his hard, dry denials of ever having received any money or bribes of any description.He said that he never got a dollar from illegitimate sources outside of his salary while in charge of the *\u2018Tenderloin\u201d or any other pracinct.He told a peculiar story of a magnanimous brokerage firm from which he got sonte five or six thousand dollars made on speculations, for which he was not required to put up a dollar.The firm was Fleiss and Hoy, No.417 Broadway, and Fleiss has been connected for a long time with the famous Hollywbod Whiskey Company.Inspector Williams claimed to have only about $6,000 in the banks, and he stated that he did not know how much his wife had at the present time.He got very angry when quest.iied about his wife\u2019s diamonds, particularly a diamond cross, which Mr.Goff said came from a woman of ill-repute.\u201cI never saw such & thing, nd 1brand the statement as a lie,\u201d heshoutcd.Mr.Goff kept probing him about presents and spoke of the Grand Jury of 1883, that made a presentment to the effect that Williams was manifestly unfit.for the police department.His ignorance of the gambling houses and their operations in the \u201cTend rlvin™ was marvellous, but he had evidently made up his mind to deny everything, and he did so unflinchingly, He claimed not to be worth more than $40,000 outside of his residence.Ouce when he was hard pressed by Mr.Goff, the latter said, *\u2018 you are losing Pour temper.\u201d Williams repliel, \u2018No, l am sitting on a cake of ice.\u201d But he did not look very cool.His whole examination was a series of denials, and he insisted that any and every body who accused him of wrong-doing lied.He faced the music bravely until the moment when Mr.Goff said, *\u2018That\u2019s all.\u201d Captains Delaney and Ryan, when put on the stand, were so badly rattled that the Committee and spectators alike were relieved when both men were excused.One of the most clear-cut an'l unreserved witnesses who has yet testified turned up in the persion of Police Commi sioner J.J.Martin.He answered every question put to him so frankly as to leave the impression of truth on his statements.Unlike Couwn- missioner Sheehan, he replied to all questions without the slightest hesitation and very much vulike his brother Commissioner, he produced his bank books, cheques antl cheque books and handed ther \u20184 Mr.Goff, He explained how hard 1t was for the Commissioners to find out men who accepted bribes, and said that they had to depend on Superintendent Byrnes to ferret out the members of the forces who took blackmail, He claimed that he never could procure substantial information on this point, but did not make an as it would interfers with his superior Byrnes, He told Senator Lexow and the other commissioners that, in his opinion, the Police Department could not be run by a single head, as there would Le vastly too much for one man to attend to.To-morrow will be Mr.Guffs last day as examiner for the Lexow Comunittee, but it is thought that the Senators will come back again to renew their attacks on corruption, before the new year is many weeks old, COMSTOCK AGAIN DENOUNCES GUFF.Brooklyn, N.Y., Dec.28.\u2014 Anthony Comstock was in the Gates Avenue Police Court to-day to prosecute a small case before Justice Quigley.He gave out a statement which is in reality a fierce attack upon Recorder-elect and Lexow Committe: Counsel John VW.Goff, He said, among other things : \u201cI procured positive evidence against O.D.Grey in the shape of policy slips and other things, but Golf quashed the case and returned Grey his outfit.\u201d Mr.Comstock intimated that Mr.Golf's motives in taking this step were not proper.Continuing, he said: \u2018\u201cGoffemploys thieves, cut-throats and reprobates.and promises them protection if they will perjure themselves, which they do.\u2018\u201c A reputable citizen may be accused of every crime, but he is not granted any rights.The action of the Lexow Committee is barbarous.Streep, who says le gave me $1,000, is now under bail in Erie County pending trial for selling green goods.I me of taking money because there is no truth in the charge.\u201d Mr.Comstock said he was willing toap- pear before any body of reputable newspaper men or lawyers, but he did not expect justice from any body of investigators, \u2018who will accept testimony from confessed perjurers and guarantee them protection.\u201d Sir John Thompson's Faneral.A large number of prominent people arrived in the city last evening on their way to Halifax to attend the state funeral.There were three private cars at Bonaventure Depot ready to depart at five minutes to eight thisa m.One car was a special of D.Pottinger\u2019s, General Manager of the I.C.R., one the Governor-General\u2019s, and the other a special sleeper.The passengers who will occupy these carriages to-day will comprise the Governor-General and hissuite,D.Pottinger, Lady Thompson, Sir Chas, H.Tupper and Lady Tupper, Hon.Edgar Dewdney, Licutenant-Governor of British Columbia, and Mrs, Dewdney, and also the officials of the road comprising Jno.M.Lyons, W, H.Price and F.W.Robertson, Judge Greene of New York will arrive at 7.30 this morning and is expected to join the party to Halifax, by special car of course.Miss Thompson arrived here yesterday morning to join the party.She was accompanied by Mrs.Sanford, who, however, will not go to Halifax, but will return to Hamilton.Ancient Order of Foresters, Court Unity No.7042 held their regular half yearly meeting at 1149 Notre Dame

New York, arrived here to-day, and reported that in latitude 55 north, longitude 12 west, she sighted the Dominion Line steamship Barnia, Captain Couch, bound from Portland, Maine, via Halifax for Liverpool.The Sarnia had lost her rudder.The Anchoria passed hawsers to the Sarnia, and towed her for two days.Severe weather was then encountered, the hawsers parted and the Anch- oria was obliged to leave the Sarnia at a point dbout 130 miles west of Tory Island.Portland, Me., Dec.28,\u2014The steamship Sarnia, reported disabled by the steamer Auclioria, sailed from Portland for Liverpool ou December 13.She had on board about 50 cabin passengers, 1,100 sheep and a heavy general cargo.Her officers are Captain Couch, *Chief Officer Moore, Chief Engineer Skelhorn, Chief Steward Graus- sield and Surgeon Dr.Roche.The Associated Press dispatch from Glasgow was the first news received by the ship\u2019s agent in Portland regarding the accident to the Sarnia.The above dispatch was confirmed at the local office of the Dominion Line Company where a dispatch had been received stating that the Anchoria had passed the Sarnia, hove to, but making no reference to the latter having lost her rudder, nor to her having been towed by the Anchor Line steamer.The Sarnia left Halifax on December lows having on board 28 cabin, 35 intermediate and U5 steerage passengers.She was under command of Captain Couch w'o is very well known in Montreal.At the Montreal office they had received no copy of the passenger list from Halifax but stated tuat rnere were no Montrealers on board.among the cabin passengers were a party of 20 from Nova Scotia, The Sarnia carried a general cargo, and took on at Portland 97 head of cattle, 1,133 sheep and a large consignment of apples.The ship was built by Charles Connell and Co., of Scotstoun, Scotland, and was launched on June 30, 1882.She is an iron vessel of 3,712 tons, lenzth 375 feet, and beam 40 feet.During the summer of 1803 the Sarnia had another thrilling experience in mid-ocean when she broke her shaft and drifted about for over six weeks, being finally towed into Liverpool by the Allan S.S.Monte Videan, The ship was then under command of her present captain, Captain Couch, and after her adventure she was refitted.MR.FOSTER'S MISSION.The Westminster Gazette Refers to the Appointment.London, Dec.28.\u2014The Westminster

theory that Her Majesty\u2019s charities are mot commensurate with her wealth, This iS, because not more than a tithe of them ever get noticed in the papers.The Queen is extraordinarily generous; and Windsor practically lives on the Castle and the \u201cCastle set.\u201d Every shop in the High Street and Castle Hill has an account with the Queen, who is Jlavish in her orders, but extremely particular as regards their execution.Cases for local charity and relief are daily put before the Queen, and never in vain.Endless sums are annually disbursed by Her Majesty's appointed agents, without a soul\u2014beyond the recipients of the bene- fit\u2014being any the wiser.The death is announced of Rev, Charles Brodrick Scott, D.D., who for twenty- pight years was Head Master of West- aiinster School.Dr.Scott took his d- gree in 1848, when he was Senior Classic and a Wrangler, having previously gained the Pitt Scholarship.He became Head Master of Westminster in 1855, a position which he held till 1883.He was appointed a prebendury of St.Paul's Cathedral in 1873.The Queen has finally made up her mind to go to Nice, arrangements were )-on- cluded on the 8th inst.with a large hotel on the hill of Cimiez in anticipation of Her Majesty's visit in March next.The suggestion that the post of Professor of Modern History should be offered to Lord Acton is not likely to be acted upon.Neither, there is reason to believe, would the offer be accepted if it were made, Lord Acton has too many claims on his time to undertake it.Failing Mr.Gardner or Mr.Lecky, there ds a strong feeling in favor of Mr.Frederic Harrison, whose learning and power as a speaker are admitted even by those who differ most widely from some of his views.But these names Ly no means exhaust the list of suitable persons, and it is quite a mistake to suppose that Lord Rosebery is in any straits about finding a successor to Mr.Froude.An interesting} proof of the effect: which the opening of the Tower Bridge is likely to have upon the property in the neighborhood was given when the Old King\u2019s Head, in Great Tower Street, was put up to auction at the Mason's Hall Tavern.The property is held upon a building lease direct from the freeholder for an unexpired term of 78 years, at a large ground-rent of £500 per annum, The opening bid was £8,000, and, after an exciting competition, a sale was declared at £11,950.Mr.Bramwell Booth, chief of the staff of the Salvation Army, made a bold experiment on the 5th inst.when he took a \u2018\u2018turn\u2019\u2019 at the Plymouth Music Hall.After several artistes had contributed their portion to the evening's entertainment, Mr.Booth, accompanied by several officers, in their scarlet uniforms, appeared on the stage.At first there was some opposition, but when he commenced to speak on the social and rescue work of the Salvation Army all interruptions ceased, and the crowded audience listened for fifteem minutes with attention.At the conclusion Mr.Booth was loudly cheered.Sir M.Hicks-Beach, speaking at a dinner of the Gloucestershire Brewers\u2019 Asso: ciation at Gloucester on the 11th inst.said the brewers had reason to complain of the treatment they had received from Parliament last session.Local option would afford only a partial and occasional remedy for the evils of intemperance, and Parliament, in dealing with the trade must recognize khat there was, on the part of the majority of the commnaity, a legitimate demand for alcohol to be moderately consumed.Reason told them that they ought to attempt to suppress, not the use, but the abuse, of alcohol, and justice demanded regard for the interests which Parliament had long made the sub- fect of taxation.A large company were present on the 12th inst.at Earl\u2019s-court, at the laying of the corner stones of the Imperial Pa lace and Empress Theatre, which are to form a portion of the forthcoming Empire of India Exhibition at Earl\u2019s-court, The ceremony was performed by Mrs, Imre Kiralfy.A company has been formed and under Mr.Kiraliy\u2019s direction upwards of £90,000 will be spent on the erection of buildings.Admiral Sir Thomas Brandreth, K.C.B., died on the 10th inst.at Farnham.He was bom in 1823, and educated at Eton.He entered the navy in 1838 and retired in 1800.In 1854 he served in the Baltic, in 1867-G8 he was private secretary to the First Lord of the Admiralty, in 1875-78 Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, superintendent at Sheerness and at Cha- tham 1877-81, Controller of the Navy 1881-85, and Lord Commissioner of the Admiralty 1882-85.Admiral Brandreth took a prominent part in the management of the Naval Exhibition.IRELAND.John McKenna, 14, was brought before the magistrates at Beltast un the 11th finst,, charged on remand with che rian- slaughter of the five children who lost their lives in the panic at Raglan street school.Mr.Spiller who yprosscuted, said that ns the result ol the exhaustive coroner\u2019s inquiry had exculpated the boy from turning out the gas cn ihe night of the accident, the police did not wish to press the case.Mr.Yodder, R.A.said he would not by any means imply \u2018that, even on the evidence given at the previous meeting, he would have committed McKenna for trial ior mwman- slaughter, but in the circumstancés ne hought the best order ne could make was to discharge him without prejudice.This course was accordingly adonted.\u2018The mystertous disappearance recent- fy of Mr.Halleday Crotty, a Dublin gentleman, and brother to Mr.leslie Crotty, the well-known opera manager and singer, has occasioned consideranle anxiety to his friends.gleman dined with a well-known barris- ger in Harcourt Street, Dublin, and atter- wards accompanied his host to the Queen\u2019s Theatre.Later, both gentlemen, accompanied by two Iriends\u2014a lady and her husband\u2014drove on a car to the \u2018Burlington, where all but Mr, Crotty alighted.He [proceeded on his way alone, and since then nothing Las been peen or heard of him, For æ aqnarter of a century he has held an oflicial position in the Bank of Ireland.At the Ulster Assizes, Beltast, on the 11th inst, two telegraphists named P\u2019Connor and Lartsy, employed at the Beltast Postotlice, were sentenced, the former t: 18 months and the latter to 10 months\u2019 imprisonment for conspiracy to defraud certain bookmakers, on june 18 last, by post-dating telegrams to then laying money on races alter the results were known.Atl the same us- pizes two telegraph messengers in the Postoffice, named Ferguson and Wallace, were sentenced, the former to on: month and the latter to 14 day\u2019s imprisonment for disclosing the contents of telegrims on November 6.The annual meeting of the Cork Defence Union was held on the 8th instant.The report stated that owing to the dissensions among the Nationalists honest men were now able once more to carry on their leg:timate business free from the tyranny and violemce of a few years ago.Interference with those who rented or worked evicted farms had also been very much lessened, and the fear of boycotting \u2018The missing gen- and outrage had to a great extent passed away.Evicted tenants had been able to approach their landlords and to agree with them as to terms which made their reinstatement possible and mutually bhene- ficial.The defeat of the Evicted Tenants Bill had largely contributed to bring about this result.There were still parts of the country where there was agrarian trouble, and during the year there occurred on farms in charge of Defence Union caretakers, two cases of burning hay, one of stealing hay, one of injury to machinery, one of brutal injury to a horse, one of beating a caretaker for threshing on an evicted farm, also a case of beating a man and his sons for bing on friendly terms with a caretaker, himself an evicted tenant, for taking care of an evicted farm in North Cork.Thirteen evicted farms had been relet during the year.Some excitement has been caused in Belfast by the announcement that a considerable number of forged American Industrial bonds have been circulated there.As far as can be learned fully £200,000 worth of these bonds were issued, and £150,000 have been circulated in London.It is stated that about one-third of them have found their way to the north of Ireland.One Belfast broker who received and circulated bonds to the extent of £3,000, has been in America instituting inquiries.He is now on his way home, It is reported that a London partner in the company which issued the bonds, has disappeared, and that the company will lose £200,000, Not a little indignation was felt at an eviction which took place on the 1Ç#h inst.unexpectedly at Ballincollig at the instance of the War Office.À resolution was recently adopted by the Cork Board of Guardians protesting against the eviction of nine families during the present inclement season, and the sherifi received instructions not to proceed with the eviction.On the 12th instant, however, the eviction of Edward Magner, who held 167 acres from the War Office, took place during the temporary ansence of the tenant.On his return he found his wife, family, and chattels on the roadside, The sheriff was protected by a force of police, There was no disturbance.SCOTLAND.The officers and crew of the steamer Hungarian, of Dundee, which stranded during a dense fog in the Gulf of Both.nia on the 18th ultimo, arrived at Gran.ton in the Carl XV, from Gothenburg on the 5th inst., and proceeded to Dundee.The Hungarian was timber laden, on a voyage from Sundswall to London.She was bullt at Port Glaszow in 1879, is 984 tons register, and owned by Messrs, Bell & Sime (Limited), Dundee.Although much damaged, she was subsequently floated off by a salvage company, and towed to Stockholm for repairs.The captain and chief engineer remain by the steamer, In connection with the proposed enlargement of Inverness Railway Station, it is uhderstood that the present engineering works, which have so long biccked the way between the south arrival and north departure platforms will be removed to Needlefield, where in re cent years extensive carpenter and other workshops have been erected, and upon their site a large and commodious through station will be built.A tablet has been erected by the Edinburgh Burns Club near the base of the Calton Hill, Edinburgh, as a memorial of Wilson, Temyleton and David Kennedy, the famous Scottish singers.THE COLONIES.Sir James Francis Garrick, K.C.M.G,, who is about to retire from the post of Agent-General for Queensland, is a very successful colonial lawycr.He was born in 1836, and admitted a solicitor in Queensland in 1861.He entered the Legislative Assembly in 1867, and six years later was called to the Bar at the Middle Temple, In 1885 he accepted the position of Agent-General in London for Queensland, when he was made a C.M.G,, and received the knighthood of the order in the following year.He was delegate from the Colony of Queensland to the Australian Federal Convention which was held at Sydney in 1883.Sir james is only fifty-eight years of age.Dr.Marloth, who was appointed by the Cape Government to examine the nitrate of potash deposits near Preiska, on the Orange River, reports that no payable deposits have yet been found, but that the examination warrants a further search Being made {or richer leds.Mr, Ward, the Colonial Mreasurer of New Zealand, recently explained the policy of the Government for the coming session.[le said that there would De a readjustment of the tariff, and that an extensive scheme of Local Government would be introduced.Measures would be brought forward ta provide for old-age pensions, for the final settlement of the liquor question, and for progressive settlement and the opening up of the country.Mr.Ward condemned the apathy of the British Government with respect to tlie proposal to lay a Pacific cable, and he regretted that the powerful influence of one man was of inore ini- portance than the wishes of the people of the colonies.He held that the opinion of the colonies with respect to Samoa Rhouldh be treated with respect, as it was prompted by the best spirit, and almed at the welfarc of the Empire, Re- ferrine to the legislation of the past session, Mr.Ward said that the Act providing for advances to settlers on the security of their holdings had already had the effect ofconsiderably reducing the rates of interest to private persons, The Government had purchased a million acres of land in the North Island for purposes of settlement, He sympathized with the call which had been made upon them, bat thought it prudent that the bank should relieve itsclf of the asset of the Estate Company\u2019s debentures.FOREIGN.The most extraordinary precautions are taken in Spain to provide for the safety of the sovereign at night, His slunbers are watched throughout the night by the moterof de Espinosa, a body of men who for 400 years have enjoyed the exclusive privilege of guarding their royal master or mistress from sunset to sunrise, They arz bound by tradition to be natives of the town of Espinosa and to have served with honor in the anny.They lock the palace gates with much ceremony and solemnity at midnight and open them again at 7 o\u2019clock in the morning.Their fidelity to the person of their sovereign does not admit of question.After a violent scene, by a vote of 307 to 215, the French Chamber of Deputies has just decided in M.Mirman\u2019s case that a Frenchman\u2019s obligation to periorm military service suspends his powers as a representative of the people.M, Mirman had been exempted from military service ou enxeax:ng to teach for ren years, but resigned his professorship before the time was up, when he was elected deputy.The Minister of War then ordered him to foin his regiment on Nov.1, and the Chamber agrees in the view that he must serve his term before he can take his seat as a deputy.The great wealth, either of the Mormon Church or of the individuals at its head, has been again demonstrated by the recent investment of $10,000,000 hy the \u2018First Presidency\u2019 in 2 new corporation called the Utah Company.This new com- pe \u2014\u2014 \u2014\u2014 ee tee MONTREAL DAILY pany is to operate coal mines, a railroad, a bathing

Co-operative Company, to be managed to add to the wealth of the church.The new academy at Athens is built of marble from the same quarries which furnished the marble for the Parthenon and its sculptures are brilliantly decorated in red, bluz and gold.This might be considered barbaric if it were not classical, but since the discoveries made in excavating at Athens within the last twenty years, it is no longer possible to doubt that the ancient Greeks often painted their choicest marbles in the most gaudy colors.The announcement made by the XKhe- dive of Egypt to Nubar Pasha that a slave of his harem is about to become a mother and that the child, if a boy, will be heir to the Khediviate causes great discussion; yet this course, the Times Cairo correspondent remarks, is strictly in accordance with Mahomedan law and has many precedents, one being that of the Khedive\u2019s father, Tewfik Pasha.Straight Cut 19¢ per package.A Leading House in Montreal.There is probably no dry

The market was quite active and strong up to the close of the day.Richelieu sold up to 844, and Street Railway made further advances to 169 for old stock and 167 for new.Gas was } weaker.Meredith and O\u2019Brien\u2019s Montreal market letter said :\u2014 The year has finished up with a strong and active market.Street Railway scored another substantial advance, and Gas was in fair demand, Richelieu even has come into favor, and some 500 shares were traded in.This stock has not been in favor for some time, owing to the tailure of the Company to negotiate their bonds, but the buying today seems to indicate that more favorable negotiations are in progress.The feeling to-night is very bullish and the prospects for the New Year are for a strong and active market unless anything occurs between this aud next Wednesday to cuange the feeling, For a holiday week, this has been an unusual one Business has been good nearly all the time and there is a constant demand for the active stocks.While we \u2018are of opinion it is well to be cautious and do not advise our friends to climb in too eagerly, the sentiment is so strongly in favor of A higher prices that in spite of the fact that: stocks look high, there is no sign of any material set back, : \u2018To-day\u2018s highest, lowest and closing prices and net changes from yesterday\u2019s losing | prices for actual sales arc as follows: MORNING BOARD.Eales.: High.Low.Close, Chge.800 Gas.193 193 225 Street Ry .\u201c 168 168$ 43 4£0 Street Ry., new.H 164 1664 +t 3 2 Dell Teiephoue.J 151 12% 5 Telegraph.5 133 153;

Anthracite sale agents to-day decided to limit production in January to 45 per cent.of capacity, which is equal to 2,300,000 tons.No change was made in prices either here or in the West.Philadelphia special: President Earle has notified the various brokers desirous of essenting their stock and income bonds under the Reading plan to send him a list of their holdings, which will be accepted after the present week is over, as the clerks at the Finance Co.cannot properly handle the heavy deposits of this class of securities now being made- Inquiry at the Lead office developed the fact that the ruling of Attorney-General Olney in the matter of drawbacks on oil cake is very important.The Company is Just now a heavy importer of fluxseed owing to the shortage of the domestic crop.It is also one of the leading exporters of oil cake, on which it is allowed a drawback, he decision adds materially to its revenues.There is more than the usual interest shown in affairs of the Distillers\u2019 Co.by Tepresentative members of the American Distributing Co.The impression among Some well posted people is that the American Distributing Co.is the buyer of Distillers\u2019 stock at these prices, and proposes Sooner or later to turn upin control.It is claimed that the American Distributing Co can make the Distillers\u2019 Co.a paying pro- party by butting in about 81,000,000 of vesh capital, The circular of the Present Management says that $2,500,000 is wanted ph of this $1,000,000 is for the purpose of sétributing its goods in Eastern territory, no American Distributing Co.is in cop.and | 15 one million can be saved at once, \u201c\u20ac DY placating certain interests, which, it is stated, lies in it i tiona] can be saved, power, $500,000 addi.\u2014\u2014 FINANCIAL NOTES.The Bank of En land i i 2 por iy gland rate of discount is Money inthe local market is quotgd at ner 4 per cent.on call, and discounts on Cantile paper at 64 to 7 rer cent, Money in the open market, London, wag Quoted to-day at 15-16 per cent, Consols in London opened at 103 7-16, claing at 103 7-16 for money, and opened as 1034, closing at 103 4 for the ac- gount.y In New York call loans were quoted at 14 to 2 per cent.French rentes sold at 102 frs.80 at the opening and 102 frs.80 at the close.French Exchange in London opened at 25.16 and closed at 25.16.Berlin, Dec.28.\u2014Exchange on London;
