Very strong.The latter, in SIR HENRY TYLIR.the course of a speech, which was real- Ir ar.apology for his policy, declared that th mejority of proxies was obtained by a.Uniair and misleading circular.Fora long time past, he said, there had been a great struggle for proxies among the proprietors of shares, and it wis his duty to announce that the committee of shareholders had now ob- lined a large majority of them.He would not hesitate to say that many of these proxies had been obtained by un- Lai and misleading cirçulacs.However, tae directors only awaited the appointment of their successors.A poil would tc needless, as the committee themselves Lust decide the method of procedure.Lk was absolutely necessary first that Cols should be made to reduce the «penses of the company, in

Henry Tyler, president of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, , and his colleagues were well advised in , tendering their resignations.The pro- :prietors of the road, the paper adds, jare to be blamed for tolerating Sir Henry and his colleagues so long.The new president will, of course, be Sir Charles Rivers Wilson.A beiter man could not be founu.He many years ago showed & capacity to dea: with greauer difficuliles affecting a higher range of affairs than those of the Grand Trunk Company.He will want the support où well-informed and intelligent colleagues.Three of them, the Times

Governments for building a tunnel under the Straits of Dover connecting France and England.Sir Henry was knighted for his distinguished service, and is altogether a remarkable and able man.SIR CHARLES RIVERS WILSON.The leaden of the opposition to Sir Henry Tyler and his probable successor to the presidency of the Grand Trunk Railway is Sir Charles Rivers Wilson, K.C.M.G.He was born in London in 1831 and was educated at Eton and Oxford.In 1856 he was appointed clerk in the Treasury and for a time was Acting Private Sece retary to Mr.Disraeli, afterwards Lord Beacorsfield, He held various

the British administrators of the Suez Canal Comrany and conmissioner to the Paris Exhibition of 1878 and acted as president oi an international commission of enquiry instituted by the Khedive of Egypt to examine the resources of Egypt.The report traced the whole of the mischief to the personal administration by the Viceroy.The result was that the Viceroy abandoned his system of government and began a system of responsible administration.Nuba Fasha formed the new cabinet and Mr.Wilson became his Finance Minister, In 1879 the Khe- dive dismissed Mr, Wilson and the latter returned to the National Debt Office, London.He was created a K.C.M.G.in January, 1880.On April 5 the Khedive of Egypt appointed Sir Charles Rivers Wilson chairman of the International Commission of Liquidation.In

LN.Br.Foster Mcclares There Will Be no Supplomen:ary Estim-tes Nhs in the Scunte\u2014sessioual Notes.Session -\u2014Noings /(Special to the Herald.) Ottawa, April 30 \u2014There was a lively debate in the House Lo-day, two subjects giving tie members wide scope sor ; talk.These were tite Newroundland: question and Mr.Foster's account of the Cabinet changes.! Before business wasseniered upon Thos.| McGreevy, member for Quebec West,\u2018 wag introduced by Mr.Taylor, Government whip, and Mr.Frechette.His entrance into the House was without much show ol demonstration.Mr.Davies moved the adjournment of the House ror the purpose of again calling attention to Newfoundland affairs.Ee read froin press despatches, and interrogated the Government as to whether a promise had bean made that a bounty would ve paid by Canada on fish exported fromm Newfoundland after con- lederation, and a paragraph to that ci- fect included in the provisional terms of union.À more imporiant matter, upon which the House and country should be informed, was th etruth of the statement, that the terms of union were not to be submitted to the people of Newfoundland, but were to be ratified by the two Houses of tine Local Legislature.The reasons given for this step were that there was no money to carry on an election, and that the people were unfit to pass judgment on the matter.Md Davies protested in the strongest possible manner against Canada allowing or being privy to such a proceeding.One province\u2014Nova Scoria\u2014had been legisiat- ed into the Dominion without the consent of the people, and the fires of discontent were still smouldering.Canada\u2019 wanted no such results in this case, and, the hon.member declared that the Ie-, land should not be received into the Doc- minion unless the people themselves gel an opportunity to pronounce on the matter.Mr.Foster maintained that the press despatches were not ofricial, and that there was nothing to show that the delegates or the Government had divulged anything to their people.It was not proper to answer the question, and the Government must refuse to give any information at present.He practically admitted the truth of the statement that the people of Newfoundland will not have gn opportunity to express their opinion on the union.Mr.Laurier regretted the Government was dumb on the subject, but when the Conservative press siated (hat the ne gotiations were to conclude in a manner which he thought would be foreign to the spirit of the conference, the House had a right to look to the Government for information.He deprecated the forcing of Newfoundland into confederation as Nova Scotia was forced, and advised the Government to give the House an assurance that the will of the people of Newfoundland would be ascertained.Mr.Mills (Bothwell) reminded the occupants of the Treasury benches that the Administration was but the organ of Parliament, and was responsible io it.Mr.Foster's reply showed that the Government did not think it was of any interest to Canada whether the question was submitted to the people of Newfoundland or not, but it was a matter of grave Importance to Canada.(Hear, hear).Was the country to wait while the Government committed treason against it ?asked Mr.Mills, and he continued: \u201cThe Government has passed into the hands of men who are not able to conduct the Government of this country.(Opposition cheers.) The hon.gentlemen on the Treasury benches are not fit for the duties of their office\u2014(cheers) \u2014and the House will be derelict in its duties if it does not watch them to see that the interests of the country are not being neglected or forgotten.\u201d Dr.Weldon defended the Government, amid ironical laughter from the Opvo- sition.There was no danger of the Interests nf Consda suffering while the Government had to answer to Parliament.\u201cNot a bit of danger ?\u201d asked Landerkin.\u201cWhat about your chanical majority ?\u201d\u2019 Dr.Weldon went on to impart the information that the embers of discontent in Nova Scotia are as dead as the ashes of Julius Caesar.Sir Richard Cartwright said that, dead or not dead, the funeral obsequles of the repeal sentiment cost Canada a large sum, and might cost more.He dwelt on the evils of dragging a free people into union on a catch vote of their Legislature.A proposition for union had once been rejected by the people of Newfoundland, and it should be understood in time that it was the opinion of thls Parliament that the present proposals should be submitted to them also.Besides the case of Newfoundland, there was the more famous case of the union of Great Britain and Ireland consummat- Dr.meed by Lord Castlereagh against the wishes of Protestants and Catholics alike.Mr.Flint said that the infamous manner of Nova Scotia\u2019s admission would rapkle.in the hearts of its people till the generation that witnessed it had passed away.Mr.Edgar believed in rounding off Confederation, but it must be done fairly.He warned the Government not to be entrapped hy the Imperial Government into anything which would be injurious to Canada.Mr.Lister suggested that there might be two or three more K.C.B.'s to be had.CABINET CHANGES, Mr.Foster offered to give the House the statement of the Cabinet changes which have taken place since last session.His statement was to the same effect as already given in the Senate by Premier Bowell, and was evidently based on that.Mr.Laurier characterized the statement as being dry, bare and as non- compromising as words could make it, From this statement it was clear that the country had been deceived in one important respect, as it differed from sthe information given to the country at the time.\"Phe House was told that His lexcellency called on Mr.Bowell to take charge of the Ministry, and in regard to him Her Majesty's loyal Opposition had nothing to say.But at the time the official press stated that an other gentleman of whom no one had thought had been sent for \u2014Sir Frank Smith.In the papers per box.Æontinued on Page 2.)

the municipalities must assist the Government.There are cities in England of from three to four hundred thousand souls which allow these schools from $26,000 to 350,000 a year.How could the corporation of the city of Montreal more profitably employ a sum equal to our subsidy from the Government\u2014$10,000 a year.With such an additional amount, the number of our pupils would soon reach 1,000 to 1,200.Montreal would become the great centre of industrial teaching for the whole country.The citizens, who are always interested in sceing that their money is judiciously expended, would take an interest in the development of these studies, to which they have hitherto been so indifferent.J.W.Hughes said he took the greatest interest in the cause of practical education, because as a practical mechanic, who served an apprenticeship under the old way of teaching a trade, he had for many years watched carefully and anxiously the progress and career of a large number of apprentices to his own trade, plumbing, and learned to know and feel the necessity of something or some method that would replace the old-time way, which the development of modern ideas and prac tices has completely done away with.He urged on the pupils the importance of sobriety and industry, and of reading the literature of mechanics.Addresses were delivered by other gentlemen, and then the were distributed.The list of successful competitors for prizes are as follows: Freehand drawing (advanced), Mr.E.Dyonnet, teacher\u2014I1st prize, S.Robertson, $10.00;

tall, muscular, and clean- shaven, and his features much resemble those of the martyr President.Recently his mind has given way.He is the son of Thomas Lincoin, a wealthy farmer and hotel-keeper, who died in 1839.John inherited $30,000, and in his time was regarded as a great sport.His money went rapidly, and he was finally compelled, through family estrangements, to go to the country a'ms- house, His wife, Mrs.Annie Lincoln, died at Bxetor, this county, a few days ago.During the war John Lincoln made a trip to Washington and called on the President, and the cousins had quite a long chat,

Finding it, Renfrew, Ont., April 30.\u2014On the evening of March 6 last Mr.James Mc- Creary, of Aruprior, while travelling from Renfrew to Shamrock, dropped on the road a vaziise containing $1,600.The loss was afterwards advertised, but the valise was not recovered.It seems that on the same evening Mr.McCreary met, at Culhane\u2019s hotel, Dr.F.Yones, of Den- bigh, who was on his way to Renirew.Next day Mr.McCreary and Mr.Geo.Jarnieson drove to what is known as the \u201cFinger Board\u201d and remained there for some time.While there Dr.Yones passed on his way home from Renfrew.They questioned him, and he told of having met three men on the road, and had also seen on their vehicle a valise, the description agreeing exactly with the appearance of Mr.McCreary's lost valise.Dr.Yones also described the three men so minutely that they were afterwards sought out and interviewed.They proved to be Admaston farmers, but had not seen the valise at all.A detective was employed and a warrant was issued to him to search Dr.Yones\u2019 premises at Denbigh.But no trace of the valise was found.Dr.Yones was arrested, however, and the preliminary trial was held at Renfrew on Tuesday before Magistrate Fady.Mr.James Young, one of the witnesses, proprietor of the Ottawa House, stated that Dr.Yones had stayed in Renfrew, and had had two valises, one of which corresponded to the description of the lost valise.This he had handed to Mr.Young to keep for him while he remained.The Magistrate ocommitted Dr.Yones for trial and he was brought to Pembroke.There was a long and patient hearing of the case, and then Dr.Yones elected to be tried by a jury.The trial will come off at the June sessions.A clock with every box of the Clock Cigar, and an Alarm Clock in every tenth

morning when the court opened for what was expected to be the last day of the trial of Oscar Wilde and Alired Taylor.Counsel for the Crown, when the proceedings opened, withdrew the charge of conspiracy against Wilde, saying that he dusired to avuid any difficulty in placing the prisoners in the witness box, Sir Edward Clarke, Q.C., counsel for the accused, demanded a verdict of not guilty on this count, but the jude refused to allow it, Sir Edward Clarke, in tie opening speech ior the defence, denounced the conduct of a large section of the press, saying that it was such as to prejudicq the case of his client and imperil the interests of justice, Wilde was then placed upon the stand and absolutely denied that there was a word of truth in the charges of indecency brought against him.He answered the questions of Sir Edward Clarke in subdued tones.During the examination of the prisoner by his counsel it was apparent that there was a remarkable dhange in the character of those attending the trial.It was evident that many of Wilde's friends were present in court and the general atmosphere of the place was less hostile to the prisoner than upon previous occasions.Sir Edward Clarke made a masterly speech to-day.In so doing he claimed that Wilde was a martyr and that he ac cepted a verdict of not guilty in the Queensberry case only because it was evident that it could not be properly tried then.But it could now be determined on a proper issue, said the counsel.When Wilde was placed in the dock it was evident that he had been well coached for the occasion.He seemed to have lest all his airy swageer which so disgusted all who witnessed it during the former trial.Mr.C.F.Gill, on behali of the prosecution, began his cross-examina- tion on the same lines as that of Mr.Edward M.Carson, Q.C., who defended the Marquis of Queensberry against the charge of libel, and quoted from the sonnet to Lord Alfred Douglas.Mr.Gill asked what was the nature of tha lovers represented in that poem.Wilde, with marked deliberation and emphasis, answered : \u2018\u201cIt is a love not un- darstood in this century.It ts the love of David for Jonathan, A deep, spiritual effection as pure as it is perfect.It is something this age does not understand.It mocks at it and sometimes puts one into the pillory.* As Wilde finished his answer there were loud cheers from the gallery, which called forth a rebuke from the judge who threatened to eject thuse who took part in the demonstration.After a short cross-ex- amination, during which Wilde denied everything, Charles Parker was examined and oross-examined.London, April 30.\u2014Sir Edward Clarke, in concluding his address to the jury, contended that there was no real evidence against Wilde except that of blackmailers, whose testimony should be utterly discredited.Counsel then appealed to the jury not to convict his client unless the evidence against him was overwhelming, and asked the jury to liberate from a terrible position \u2018\u2019one of the most renowned and accomplished men of letters.\u201d London, April 30.\u2014It has been learned that immediately after her husband was arrested, Mrs,

W.Griffey, one of the leading lawyers of Clinton, came home last week the picture of healtn, ease of mind and mental vigor, after four weeks\u2019 treatment at the Carbondale Keeley In- Institute.In conversation with the Democrat\u2019s editor he declared he never felt so good before in all his life.Discussing his experiences at Carbon- dale and his impressions concerning the worid-famed \u2018\u2018Gold Cure,\u201d Judge Griffey said that it was the grandest boon the world had ever been given, and that Dr.Keeley must have had a beneficient Providence at his side when he discovered the wonderful elixir.Adverting to the Car- bondale Keeley Institute, which is an authorized branch of the main Institute at Dwight, he said that it was hardly possible to conceive of a more delightful home for a sufferer.He grew eloquent In, his tribute to Dr.Young and his grand wife, who are in charge of the Carbon- dale Institute, declaring them to be the most delightful, comforting and elevating Christian couple he had ever known\u2014the value of whose labors in the moral vineyard could not be estimated by the human mind.He said that the elimination of the dreadful thirst for strong drink\u2014which appetite with some men becomes an ungovernable mania or disease\u2014was to his thinking only a small part of the good work being done by Dr.and Mrs.Young.That to him the home of these good people is a moral training school, a place of peace to the erring, and an ablding place of the God of mercy and reclamation.Mrs.Young, the cheerful and kindly woman, who is an invaluable assistant to her noble husband, has a magnetic charm of manner which controls and soothes the wildest bacchanal, and draws him from his thralldom back to life, to love, to hope.Judge Griffey says the effects of the treatment are truly magical.From the haze and mist with which the insidious monster has beclouded the mind, and the enervation and desperation with which the body has been afficted, one grows back to himself, recovers his mind, his faculties, his sight, hearing and feeling, and looks about him, amazed and delighted at his new birth.Happily to the right-think- ing man there is no shame at the world\u2019s knowledge of his deliverance; but, like the new professor of faith in religion, his heart opens and the divine afflatus tills his being with a desire to go forth and seek others and lead them to the fountain which contains the true elixir of life.We have never seen a more enthus- lastic graduate of the Keeley Institute than Judge Griffey, and it is good to look upon his beaming face.\u2014~Clinton (Ky.)
