St John\u2019s, Nfld., Sept.3.\u2014A startling sensation was created here to-day owing to intelligence received from Labrador announcing that a Canadian cruiser had selzed a number of Newfoundland {ishing vessels found in Canadian waters.The seizures were made on the ground \u2018of violation of the Canadian fishery laws.A fish-laden steamer at Bonne Esperance barely managed to escape.Nobody understands the cause of the seizures, as Newfoundlanders have becn fishing there for years without interfer- Whiteley, the Canadian fishery warden, was compelled to abandon the fishery by the cruiser also.ence, The matter is causing much discussion here, and will cause very unfriendly feeling toward Canada, ani may possibly cause a revival of the tariff war between the two countries, unless a prompt explanation is given.St.John\u2019s, Nfld, Sept.3\u2014Virginia Lake, the mail steamer from Labrador, reports that one Canadian fleet of fishing cruisers, armed to the teeth with Catling guns, cannon and other weapons, is seizing all the Newfoundland vessels found in Canadian waters, an dhas conveyed them to a headquarters in the Straits of Belle Isle.A portion of Labrador belongs to Canada, and a portion to the Newfoundlad fishermen, and each country usually fishes in the territory The present proceedings are doubtless due to some hot-headed cial.of the other without interference.and incompetent offi- There is much excitement here, and the Government held a summary meeting to consider the situation, to-night.IROQUOIS HiGH SCHOOL.Semi-Cenionnial of its Existence\u2014Some Interesting Addresses.Special to the Herald.) Iroquois, £ept.2.\u2014Labor Day was sig- nzlized here by an occurrence of more tnan ordinary and everyday interest, the occasion being a re-union of pupils and exapupils, past and present teachers, of the Iroquois High School to celebrate the semi-centennial year of the existence of that institution.The High Schcol, of Whnich the townspeople are justly proud, possesses tc-day an efficient staf of teach.ers, g¢nd a {ine modern building among the best equipped in Ontario, with library, physical apparatus, laboratories, museum, and all things requisite to aid in the foundation worx of the higher cd- ucation.Many successful graduates of Metli.l College retain pieasant recollec-' tions of the old Durdas County Grammar School, or the Seminary, as it was calied in early years; and the results of its fifty years of operation are shown in the goodly number of names of its alumni on the rolls of the various universities, or prominent in the professions and other walks of life.The historical element predominated in the day's proceedings, the pzculiar Interest attached to the past of the institution lying in the high patriotic and public feeling which led to the founding of the school, and that spirit of enterprise which gives it its present important position as an educational factor in Eastern Ontario.The struggles of pioneer life in a dense bush, where every foot of land had to be wrested by unfaltering toil from the grasp of the primeval forest, the sparseness of settlement, the lack of means of communication, long deprived the U.E.Loyalists who peopled this north bank of the Lawrence late in the last century, of any but the most meagre educational pri- viieges.A school was maintained at an early date where rudimentary instruction might be obtained.Schools for more advanced education had been established in the larger towns of Ontario, but they were available only to the children of the rich, or well-to-do, when, in 1845, shortly after the passing of the first Grammar School Act, a gen tleman of liberal mind and tene- ficent public spirit, convinced of the true value of education to a people, conceived the plan of bringing home to the doors of his neighbors the best facilites for instruction of the young then available.Two adjoining farmers, James and Matthew Coons, gave the land upon which this gentleman, the late John A.Carman, for many years a resident of the village, had constructed at his own expense, a commeoedious stone school building, equipped as a rirst-class boarding school.Having obtained teachers, and provided all neccessary apparatus and equipments, he turnea the whole over to trustees as a perpetual gift to the community, For a number of years the affairs of the school were administered wholly under the terms of the trust, but gradually its operation conformed to the requirements of the School law in force from time to time, and it has long teen recognized as a regularly organized and thoroughly equipped High School with an excellent reccrd and reputation.During the afternoon and evening a series of commenmorative addresses were listened to by good audiences, largely composed of ex-pupils of the school, the names of more than one of whom had figured on its first class-roll fifty years ago.Foremost among the speakers of the day was Rev.Dr.Carman, General Superintendent of the Methodist Church, who was one of the first pupils to attend the school, and who afterwards presided over it as principal until appointed to the presidency of Albert College.His address was a notable utterance in his most forcible and effective style on the value of education and its place in the building up of the Commonwealth.Touching on the Manitoba School Question, he deprecated any interference by the Dominion Government with Mani- toda\u2019s School legislation, and, if we wera to be forced into that course, claimed tha Justice of like treatment of all the other provinces, of the assumption of control of educational matters by the Dominion Gov- ily MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1895.ernment, and the inaguration of a national system.Special legislation for or against a single province was unjust.In reference to the claim of a preceding speaker, that to the proverbial \u201cthree R's\u201d of Lhe Public School Course of instruction, a fourth should be added, viz.Religion, he proposed the question, What religion shall be taught?The battle over the question of State interference with religion he said, had been already fought out in this country by our fathers and he called upon all to stand firm In the cause of true religious liberty and equality.Mr.W.A.Whitney, MA, who was for upwards of twenty-five years Headmaster, furnished some interesting reminiscences connected wilh his life-work given In the school\u2019s service.With one excepiion Mr.Whitney's has been the longest term of consecutive service in one school as Head-Master in the Province of Ontario, a fact which speaks volumes for the esteem in which he has always been held by the community.A number of other gentlemen, including Mr.H.H.Ross, M.P.,, Mr.Arthur Brown, LP.S., local clergymen, teachers and others gave addresses more or less appropriate to the occasion.On the whole, an enjoyable time was spent and much done to foster and preserve the right kind of public sentiment with regard to education.A souvenir volume of the celebration is in preparation for the press, and will contain much historical matter of interest.SCORED THE SOCIALISTS.Emperor Willinmn\u2019s Strong Words Create a Sensation.London, Sep:.4\u2014The Times\u2019 Berlin co.re.pondein.says that the Emp:ror's sharp words against Socialists in his speech to the Guards on Monday has roused Germany with startling suddenness out of her patriotic enthusiasm, and has recalled her to the political struggles of every-day life.Many comments have already appearcd in the Conservative organs app.auding His Majesty's words.! The Tagehlatt says: \u201cThe Imperial appeal will not be made in vain, but no Literal can join in the agitation for a sceond edition of the anti-revolution bills.The best way to thwart the Socialists is to grant real reforms, and give the working classes less occasion for complaint that legislation robs the poor for the btenetit of the rich.\u201d The Nord Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung also dwells upon the necessity of steps to stem the Socialistic tide.\u201cIt remains to be seen,\u201d this paper goes on, \u201cwhat fruit the speech will produce.Even the most careless might well be roused from indifference by the Emperor's threat to appeal to the army.It is a thankless task to price evil, but, considering the condition of politicl life in Germany, one is driven unwillingly to the conclusion that the Impegial words, though rescinding for a tim@ through the country, will finally be stifled by the ever-increasing din of party strife.\u201d As a revenge for the péohibition of their meetings, the Soclalists sent the following message to their friends in Paris: \"On the iwenty-fifth anniversary of Sedan, we send as a protest against war and Chauvinism a greeting and a clasp of the hand to our French com- rads.Hurrah, hurrah for intersolidar- y ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.it Bégan at 11 O\u2019clock Last Night and Was Plainly Visible.The limar eclipse last night was visible

there were also five eclipses, corresponding ta those of this year, but occurring eleven days earlier.The lunar eclipses of that year, however, were not visible to us.Glengarry Landmarks Pass AWAY.Cornwall, \u2018Sept.8.\u2014Among those who passed away in the last few days was Mr.Allan Archy McDonald, of the 8th concession of Charlottenburg.He was à genial, whole-souled Scot, and was born on the old homestead in 1812, being 88 years of age at the time of his death.During the troublesome times of 1837\u20148 he proved his loyalty by serving in the Glengarry Regiment.Another old and highly respected resident who passed away recently was John Tait, of Mille Roches, one of the pioncer farmers of Sheik\u2019s Island.He was 87 years of age, a man of sterling worth and exemplary habits.Mr.John J.R.McDonald, of Cornwall, aged T5 years, was also called to his reward.He was uo native of St.Andrew's but had resided in Cornwall for a quarter of a century.Mr.Venons Langevin, another veteran of 1837-8, died at his residence in Cornwall, and was buried yesterday morning.He was 76 years of age, and was born at St.Annes, P.Q., but came to Cornwall with his parents 65 years ago.A Stampede.An imitation of a Texas stampede occurred on St.James Street carly last evening, when 44 horses, on their way to the SS.Monte Videan for shipment to London, tock fright at a locomotive.It was somewhere at the foot of Grey Nun Street where the animals ran in hot chase upwards to St.James, then eastwards, past the St.Lawrence Hall.An electric car hove \u2018in sight, and as

towards him.Luckily a brave carter at the Hall, whose name could not be obtained, rushed up and by judicious management, stopped the maddened horses.The were afterwards driven quietly to the ship, none the worse for the little sportive fright.Dominion Trades Congress.London, Ont, Sept.8.\u2014The eleventh annual session of the Dominion Trades Congress opened to-day in the Council chamber.Mayor

CONSIDERED AND A COMMITTEE NAMED.Addresses by C, Boausolcil, M.P., G.W.Stephens Jr, and Other Liberals, There was a meeting yesterday afternoon in the parlors of the Reindeau Hotel to discuss the questlun of erecting a monument to the memory of the late Honore Mercier.There were some fifty active Liberals present.Ald.C.Beausol- eil, M.P., was called to the chair.In opening the meeting Mr.Beausoleil said tney were called to devise the means of honoring in à belitting manner the memory où the \u2018greatest French-Cana- dian that ever lived.Mr.Mercier had been a genius who threw new lustre on the French-Canadian name.He had teen a statesman in the widest and highest meaning of the word.His views were grand, his heart was Dbroad, and his object, which was ever the same, was to elevate his race politically and socially.He was a meteor the passing of which sent rays of light inio every corner of the province.It was the duty of those who had followed his lead, of those who had been enabled to appreciate best his many qualities to devise the means of perpetuating the memory of this great man, who might weil be set up as an example to their descendants.They all weil knew that Mr.Mercier's aim had ever been to add to the glory and greatness of his country, of nis province and of his race.Mr.Mercier was persuaded that the French-Canadians did not occu- Py the position to which they might aspire in the Dorninion, and that they diu not command the respect to which they wére entitled by their numbers and their intelligence.His lite work was Lo elevate his countrymen.Now it behooved all those who sympathised with that object to erect a monument whicn would be an inspiration ang an encouragement to perpetuate the French race under the sun of lverty and où political lite.They would have to consider the Occasion, and to ask themselves ir it was the proper lime for sucn a movement.They must succeed.All the cnildren of the French-Canadian race must unite in this patriotic worx.\u2018They must form a strong organization whicn would appeal LO ail those wno still have French blood in their veins.To fail would be disastrous.failure would mean that the krench-Canauians were ungrateful and heartless.The chairman then called upon Mr.J.O.Pelland, who had sent out the letters of invitation, to give expianations.Mr.Pelland said the idea of the movement had originated on the day of tne inauguration of the Chenier monument.All those he had met were enthusiastic.After the experience with the Chenier monument, he was sure that the glorification of Mr.Mercier would not be takely ag a provocation to people of other origins.Mr.Mercier loved his own race 100 well nui to deepiy respect the patriotic sentiments of others.Mr.Geo.W.Stephens, jr., as a Canadian of English origin, said that he was sure the erection of a worthy monument to Mr.Mcrcier would not arouse race prejudices.There were large numbers of English-speaking people who keenly appreciated the great qualities of Mr.Mercier.His greatness could not be questioned, and Canada wouldhe proud of him.Mr.R.S.Weir belleved that it would be very fitting to commemorate the memory of the late Premier.They would not find amongst men oi the time cne more worthy of such honor, nor \u2018one whose patriotiso: had been more disinterested.Perhups not a large number of English-speaxing people would contribute, but he couil say that as the clouds of prejudice cleared away, the name of Mercier was considered with rapidly Increasing respect amongst the English-speaking popuiation of the province.They could not forget Mr.Mer- cler's many beuefactions to the Protestant institutions of the province, and they were compelled to recognize his impartiality, as well as the loftiness of his ambition.Mr.O.Desmarais, ex-M.P.P., quoted the words of Hon.Col.Rhodes, that Mercier was the only man whom Quebec had ever had to compete with.Sir John A.Macdonald, and said that they must erect a monument which would compare with that on Doininion Square.Hon.W.Prevost sald that those who knew Mr.Mercler intimately knew that he had sacrificed a great deal by remaining in public life.He subscribed $100 towards the monument.Speeches were also made by Messrs.Chas.Champagne, Ald.Dupre, P.N.Breton, A.Pichie, Chas.Marsil and others.It was finally moved by Mr.Charles Champagne, seconded by Mr.W.S.Weir, that steps be taken immediately to erect a monument to Mr.Mercier, and the resolution was adopted unanimously.The following gentlemen were then appointed a committee to perfect a permanent organization: Hon.'J.B.Robi- doux, Hon.Wilfrid Prevost, Hon.J.K.Ward, Hon.Louis Tourville, Hon.Horace Archambault, Hon.James McShane, Messrs.C.Beausoleil, M.P., Robert Mac- Kay, Ald .Jas.Brunet, R.S.Weir, Dr.E.P.Lachapelle, J.N.Greenshields, R.Lemieux, J.O.Pelland and the presidents of the Young Liberals, National, Chenier, Mercier, Letellier and Laurier Clubs.; The intention is to erect a monument which will cost between thirty and forty thousand dollara.\u2018 CORNWALL NEWS.Cornwall, Sept.3.\u2014Joe Burdock, an old negro, who is said to be 105 years of age, died at

The farmers at last have wheat in quantities to sell, but they can get no one to buy it.The market is declining and the buyers do not intend to put out any cash until the bottom has been reached.But they are graciously permitting the farmers to store their wheat in their clevators, and &iis is to be paid for when \u201cthe combine\u201d has decided on the price it will pay.Mr.Willison, the editor of the Globe, who {s writing a series of letters from Manitoba, soon discovered this nigger in the wood-pile.He says: \u201cThere is an hostility scarcely veiled between luc uiiling or grain-puying interest and the grain-producing interest.It may be that in the potato patches, upon tender plants and vines, upon the wheal fields, one can find no traces of frost, but the grain-buyer will shake his head wisely and ominously, and whisper in your ear his conviction that there has been serious frost and widespread injury.It there be frost at all it is likely to be heavier on the Grain Exchange than in the wheat fields.One buyer took me aside and gave me solemn warning of the harm I would do to the country by sending to the East \u2018booming\u2019 reports of the wheat prospect, and thus encouraging a bear movement on prices.But even if to conceal the truth would help prices a pollcr of depreciation would hardly help settlement + .* \u201cThe millers and the elevator interests have undoubtedly profited hundreds of thousands by the increase in prices since the last crop was marketed, and some of this wheat is still in hand to compete with the new crop.The suspicion of frost gives the buyer an advantage.The rarmer seems to fear the mere report of frost as much as the actual damage.He believes that the suspicion of frost will enable the buyer to bear the price of his crop from two to four cents a bushel, and that a large percentage of the loss which he thus suffers goes directly into the pockets of the buyers.The buying interest is organized, the farming interest is unorganized.One can understand the farmer's fear and his efforts to provide independent means for the handling of his crop.\u2018Thus far, however, the elevator charges seem to be moderate, and but an average measure of success has attended the efforts of the farmers to build and operate elevators on the co-op- erative plan.\u2018The three great grain- handling concerns are the Ogilvie Milling Company, (W.W.Ogilvie, letter writer, president), the Lake of the Woods (Milling Company, (Robert Meighen, letter writer, president), and the North American Elevator Company.At every station the great structures of the two first named corporations tower into view, and nothing is more suggestive of the enormous crop of grain that is produced by the 25,000 farmers of this young province.\u2018The estimate for this year is that the farms of Manitoba will yield 60,000,000 bushels of grains of all kinds, and the stock and dairying interests are reaching dimensions of first-rate importance.There is no more fruitful land under God's sky, and we are rearing here, under climatic conditions that are severe for the winter months, but are tempered by a summer of rare beauty and benignity, and increasing conveniences and comforts, one of the best popuiations of the continent.But to return.The North American Elevator Company is a newer enterprise, and there 1s some expectation that it will prove an active competing agency for the older concerns.This 18 doubtful.There is little doubt that an understanding as to prices prevalls on tha Grain Exchange at Winnipeg, and there is not likely to be any very determined competition among the elevators.There may be now and then a spurt as a result of exceptional conditions, but.in the face of vast experience, one can only conclude that where combination is possible and profitable competition ie impossible, and that, as in the case of the rallways, a rigorous war of rates 1s the sure forerunner of an effective \u2018understanding.\u2019 It is quite likely that Manitoba is raising an elevator problem and many of the other economic problems that are breeding in our western civilization.\u201d What a comment on the patriotic epistles of the letter writers last June, when, having captured all the wheat in the country, they favored the farmers with higher prices far the wheat that they didn't have, and advanced the price of the flour that they had to buy.This season will see history repeat itself.Prices in Manitoba wiil be beaten down to the lowest possible figure by'an understanding between the \u2018\u2018combine\u201d of buyers until ninety-five per cent.of the wheat is in the elevators, and for the remaining five per cent.there will be a make believe scramble that here and there in the province will shove the price up.Perhaps Mr.Ogilvie and Mr.Meighen will then write some more letters to that prince of windbags and mountebanks Montague on the effect ot a protective tariff on the price of wheat; but then there is also the possibility that they won°t.It is understood that a good deal of their conceit in their epistolary performances has been knocked out of them.MERCIER AND MACDONALD.The French Canadians are credited by the western Conservative press with a desire to erect a monument to the memory of Honore Mercier, and this press, which nowadays depends for Its existence mainly upon the clouding of poor Mercier\u2019s memory, is screeching with well-feigned indignation at the idea.The Toronto Mail and Empire says that \u2018the question at once arises whether the monument will stand as a public recognition of what his country owes him, or of what he owes his country.\u201d The Hamilton Herald says: \u2018Mercier stands for nothing but political corruption.His picturesque and in some respects brilliant career is dark and disgraceful, and instead of seeking to perpetuate his memory the effort should be to let it sink into well-earned oblivion.\u201d To such the Hamilton Times replies forcibly : \u2018There would not seem to be anything astonishing in the proposal to erect a monument to Mercier, seeing that we honor in bronze and apothe- osize a man who, notwithstanding that he called God to witness \u2018these hands are clean,\u201d was proved to have boodied and stolen more than anyone ever thought of accusing Mercier of taking; whose political creed was power at any price; who sacrificed principles, friends and country for office; trampled on the constitutional rights of the people, stifled the popular voice by methods the most edious, and fortified himself by perversion of the law-making power and by corrupting his followers.\u201d AN INVINCIBLE ALLIANCE, Speaking of the necessity for the protection of English-speaking missionaries in China, Harper's Weekly says: \"Of course the nature of the task almost necessarily involves an alliance between the British and the Americans, and there are à good many people who dislike jingoism and who have a wholesome contempt for the jingoes, who would regard an alliance in such a cause between the two great English-speaking powers with profound satisfaction, and in the hope and belief that it would put an end to the worst forms of jingolsm, which so affects its victims that they lle awake at nights in the haunting fear that Great Britain is stealing some mid-ocean rock, out of which some American might possibly some day try to make some money.Would Mr.Lodge, or Mr.Morgan or Mr.Frye, or any other of our well-greaved heroes, who thus far have been fighting with the weapons of Thersites rather than with those of Achilles, prefer to see the missionaries harried rather than that England and the United States should become allies for their preservation ?Is it better, in their opinion, that the germ of Christianity, which the missionaries think it their duty to plant in China, shall perish than that the Indiana and the Terrible shall fight side by side in the same cause ?If such is really their opinion, we think they are making a tactical blunder, for we fancy that a majority of American citizens would prefer to see their country fighting with England in the cause of missions, rather than to see her fighting against England in the cause of nitrates or land or strategic points or coaling stations or any other form of pelf.\u201d Harper's Weekly speaks for what we are fond of calling the better element of the people of the United States.It suggests an alliance which would not be confined to operations in the yellow waters that lave the shores of the battered East.Into such an alliance, it &s probable, Great Britain would be pleased to enter so soon as the element for which Harper's Weekly speaks so ably should have become the paramount influence in \u2018\u2019American\u2019\u2019 politics.RESPONSIBLE FOR INCREASED EX PENDITURES.The Gazette says that every dollar of increased provincial expenditure on ace count of interest, public works and railway subsidies in 1894 was made a Hability by the policy and the legislation of the Mercler Government.This can only be considered a deliberate mis-state- ment.But a few days since we reviewed the railway legislation of the present Government, and it was no other than the Gazette which replied that that legislation \u201cmight\u201d be defended.Therefore our esteemed contemporary cannot plead ignorance of the fact that by this legislation a half million in cash was voted to certain companies on condition, as a Con servative paper put it, \u201cthat they should not bulld railways.\u201d Thus, in his last report, Mr.Moreau, the Government engineer, sald on page 48 : \u2018The Quebec, Montmorency and Char- levoix Company does not appear disposed to continue the construction of its line beyond the third section of ten miles, which is on the point of being completed.\u201d Consequently the subsidies voted for all that part of the line beyond the third section reverted to the provincial treasury and the liabilities of the Province were decreased by s0 much.Instead of keeping the money in the treasury the Government has distributed it between a number of Mr.Beemer's railways, which were already built and in operation.It is also the Tallion Government which, by extending the time given to railway companies to earn their subsidies, has prevented another milllon of liabilities from being written off the banks.To meet these two half millions of liabilities for which the Taillon Administration has made itself responsible, will require a loan of a million, the interest on which Will have to be paid by taxation, while the Province has derived practically no benefit from the expenditure.\u2018As to public works, the principal item is the Montreal Court House.It is a well known fact that two-thirds of the expenditure on that building have been made under the direction of Hon.Mr.Nantel and to suit consclentious Mr.St.Louis.If the expenditure was made necessary by the Mercier regime, how is it that in the estimates prepared by the present Government at the end of 1893, after they had been two years in power, only $16,000 was put down to complete the work, while $125,000 was actually spent ?: But Mercier must be responsible.That is the only answer the Taillon Government can make to explain their broken pledges and their extravagance.NOT GENUINE AMATEURS.A sport that calls for such elaborate scrutiny as bicycling should be frankly professional or palpably amateur.British sporting ethics has drawn the line sufficiently straight in cricket and in rowing and sculling, two distinctively British sports; and the same spirit has been followed conscientiously through the whole run of British athletics.To be a professional sculler, cricketer, or footballer, out and out is in itself no dis grace; any more than to be a professional actor or singer.Modern economy finds an honored place for those whose calling it is to provide for the wholesome recreation of their fellows.But in athletics, as elsewhere, | ithe professional should stand clearly distinguished from the amateur, if the requirements and possibilities of amateurism are not one of the superstitions of a supersensitive race.Among bicyclists the temptation to race for the glorification of some firm of bicycle manufacturers is strong in itself.It is intensified by the sanction accorded the practice by the so-called amateurs\u2019 associations for the encouragement of fast wheeling.But the man who profits financially through the advertisement which his racing prowess affords any bicyclemaker is, in point of fact} as much to be distinguished from the genuine amateur as the man who races openly for a prize in money.Open professionalism does sport no harm, except in so far as it tends to widen the influence of the gambling element.Veiled professionalism means death to amateur sport, and Canadian athletics have not been free from the working of the curse.\u2018The Class B bicyclist, the product of a vicious Americanism, should have no place in Canada, and the Canadian Wheelmen's Association and all affiliated bodies in the Dominion would elevate

Principal Grant, of Queen's College, arrived in the city Monday evening, after à very muddy drive in from the Middle Bluff, where he had been visiting relatives.Last evening he was seen by a reporter of the Tribune at the residence of Chief Justice Taylor, Fort Rouge.Though only nicely disembarked from his voyage through Red River mud, Principal Grant consented to give his views on the question at present most agitating the public mind, i.e., the Manitoba school question.\u201cI liked,\u201d said the great educationist, \u201cthe suggestion in the answer of the local Government to the remedial order, the suggestion that a commission of educational experts enquire into the working of the present and of the old system, so as to get at the actual facts of the case.I think this wise, because the one thing settled by the Privy Council was that the Dominlon Government had jurisdiction under the constitution.That being so, the question for the Dominion Government to ask was surely this: Would it, or would it not, be wise for us to exercise this jurisdiction ?
