Reading Telegrams.jis ACTS SEVERELY CRITICHSED, geared That it May Have an Unfortunate Effect in Connection With the Proposed School Conference, winnipeg, March 15.\u2014Regarding Mr.Joseph Martin's contention that the remedial act is not constitutional because it does not lollow thz remedial wder, the Tribune, Mr.Greenway\u2019s rgan, declares the contention appears quite sensible It says: \u201cA remedial ect is not law until the Manitoba Government has retused to put into force the express provisions of the act.This, of -course, Manitoba has not done, for the Remedial Bill is altogether different from the remedial order.\u201d Of the latest Tupper-Greenway incident the Free Press says editorially: \u201cjhe invitation of Mr.Greenway\u2019s Government at the premature disclosure and the omission ol part cf the message.was certainly to be expected, and might easily suggest that it would lead to a withdrawal by Mr.Greenway from the proposal of a conference, thus placing him in an attitude of unreasonable postinacy.It seems very unlikely that any such result was intended; but whether it was or not, it would be an unfortunate thing if this shculd be the effect.It would be a mistake on Mr.Greenway\u2019s part to allow anything of that sort to prevent his showing the country that he is not unwilling within the limits his province will permit to do whatever can be done to arrive at a settlement of a question which is a source of internal irritation, and of which many people are getting a little weary.\u2019 Of the incident, this is what the Tri, bune has to say: \u201cThe idea of \u2018a Firsi Minister cooly getting up and saying that he left out an important clause in & document which he read as a State paper, because he thought it had na bearing on the case, has not a parallel in Parliamentery government.It is the act of a political pauper who seeks to eke out his hand-to-mouth governmental existence for a few hours longer by a trick that would be guyed by, a gang of Police Court hoodlums.\u2019 .When the Tribune, of Winnipeg, deals -With the Conservative Government at Ottawa it is.usually quite: severe in its language.These were its words in an! editorial on Saturday: \u201cWill we let thig swinish crowa trample the pearls of lib- \u2018erty beneath their feet, while they take in their mouths the words of loyalty and patriotisin and veneration for British rights?\u2018To what can the pig be loyal put his swill, what patria has he but his, sty?Turn out the squealing, swilling, slobbering, scrunciing herd ang let the sty that has been so long a disgrace to Canada be cleanséd.The question We have to decide is: Are wg arnar tion of grinning baboons?Are we a collection of escaped but harmless lunan tics, that we allow ourselves to take seriously the acts of this Punch and Judy afrair on Parliament Hill?\u201d 1n the event of Mr.MacDowall getting the Governorship of the Territories, it is thought Hillyard Mitchell, M.L.A., of Duck Lake, will be the Conservative cann didate for Saskatchewan.HEAVY SUITS FOR DAMAGES.Banque du Peuple and Its Board for 5500,000 Damages.The directors of La Banque du Peuple

by Superintendent O\u2019Brien of fhe New York Police, was taking matters very quietly at the police station this evening, though he acted somewhat nervously during the day.He will be brought before City Stipendary Fielding to-morrow morning and McDonald and Jones who are counsul for C.B.Richard and Co., the New York bankers, who charge that they were victimized by Stern, Will ask for a remand until requisition papers arrive here.C.BE.Smith, counsel for the accused, will fight hard for his client and there is a likelihood that an effort to secure his release under habeas corpus will be made in the morning.Should Stern be released he would doubtless be re-arrested al once under another warrant.It is sup Posed that Stern sent some baggage away on the steamer Scotsman, though no check for it has been found.The wealth taken from his pockets, clothes lining and valise, amounting to well on to fifteen thousand dollars, is still at the police station.Stern carried on an exchange brokerage business at 30 State Street, New \u2018York, and is said to have also had an office on Canal Street.He states that he arrived in Halitax last Wednesday, putting up at the Beimont, à boarding house at the north end.When he boarded the steamer Scotsman he wiag accompanied by two other poorly dressed men, apparently of the same nationality, Russian Jews, but the others separated from him after he fell into conversation with Detective Power.New Yerk, March 14.\u2014Chas.Stein, 25 years old, who, it is said, has swindled 1 a number of persons in this city out of large amounts of money, was arrested in Haliiax to-day, just as he was about to embark in a steamer for Bremen.Oa March 16 last C.B.Richards & Co.reported to Captain O\u2019Brien, of the Detective Bureau, that Stein, who had been carrying on a banking business, and with whom they had had some dealings, had swindled them out of $1,401.75 by giving them a worthless cheque for that amount on March 5.phe cheque was exchanged for gold and ills.Detectives Price and O'Donohue were detailed on the case, and they learned that Richards & Co.were not the only ones who had been treated in the same manner by Stein.They learned that Knauth, Nachod & Kuhn had suffered also, and that Stein had given them a worthless cheque for $1,077 for good money.Several ether firms were \\ike- wise dealt with.The detectives learned that Stein had exchanged some of his money for Canadian money, and telegrams were sent to Halifax and Montreal to authorities there to look oùt for him.Yesterday morning Capt.O\u2019Brien received a telegram from the chiet of police at Halifax to the effect that Stein had been arrested just as he was about to toard the steamer Scotsman for Liverpool.Detective Price will be sent to Halifax to-morrow with the necessary papers to bring him \u2018back to this city.HAMMOND TRAGEDY Scene Between the Prisoner and the Vietim\u2019s Mother When the Body Was Taken | Home.Gravenhurst, Ont., March 14.\u2014Interest in the Tough-Hammond case has in nol way abated.In Bracebridge jail the prisoner maintains his cheerful demeanor and hes little to say, except to stoutly assert his innocence of the charge against him.\u2018The stomach of the de~ ceased woman was sent to Prof.Ellis, of Toronto, to-day for anaylsis.Mr.E.F.B.Johnston, Q.C., of Toronto, has been retained by Hammond's father for the detence.MHammond\u2019s father hag returned to Gravenhurst.\u2018He was unaware that his son was married to the deceased girl although he \u2018was aware that the two had been much attachea to each other when they were children.It is not yet known, if Kate Tough had any more insurance on her life than that in the Provincial Provident and the Metropolitan, but, even with that, the question arises: Where did Hammond expect| to get the money to pay the premiums?He dill not earn enough to pay his own board.Katie's wages were used for this purpose.Early in the winter Hammond got money from home on the plea that he wished to go to New York and take a situation which awaited him there.This money was, however, used for the expenses of the honeymoon.Kate Tough\u2019s mother says that Katie, in hen school days, was a great favorite at the Hammond's, who are neighbors, and used; to visit them often.: When the young people began to keep company both familles objected and after that Katie never went to the Hammond\u2019s.Then the twig in the course of time drifted to Toronto and \u2018there renewed their courtship.When Katie returned three weeks ago her mother had heard of the marriage, but had not charged her daughter with it.A week ago Katie put on her hat and ran over to the Hammond\u2019s, something she had not done for at least two years.Half an hour later shè was carried into her own home dying.A man had found her in the snow, had shouted for help and young Hammond had resporided.He helped to carry the body, Lo The girl was laid on the sofa, land her mother said to Hammdnd: \u201cI know your secret, this is your wife.\u201d - I \u201cShe is not my wife,\u201d returned the young man.( Again the mother demanded of him what he had Bone to her daughter.He said: Maybe she has taken something; perhaps she took some medicine.\u201d \u201cShe had no need to take medicine, Hammond,\u201d returned the mother.\u201cPerhaps she took poison, perhaps there is a vial or something in her room.Let us go and look,\u201d said Hammond.Then -Katie\u2019s brother stepped in.\u201cNo,\u201d he said, \u201cyou will not go ur- stairs.\u201d And with this rebuff, Hams mond walked out of the room.Katie's brethers went up to her room and searched it thoroughly.Between one corner of the -matress and the springs thev found a vial with traces of poison about it.Hammond went home and did not come back even to the funeral.i THE JOGGINS RIOT.Tromblesome M ners in a State of Siege Eu 4°.W.À.Hall, Amherst, N.S., Mar.16.\u2014The situation at Joggins mines over last

DONGCLA.Preparations at Cairo for the Soudan Expedition.INTEREST IN MILITARY CIRCLES, Considerable International Significance Attached to Great Britain's Latest Military Movement.Cairo, March 14.\u2014The advance of the British Egyptian troops from Wady- Halfa up the Nile upon Dongola will be commenced without delay, according to statements made in semi-official circles here.The Connaught Rangers have already been ordered to Wady-iHalfa.The British Egyptian troops under orders to proceed up the Nile in the direction of Dongola will consist of 8,000 men.All will carry arms.London, March 14.\u2014A despatch to the Globe from Cario, published this afternoon, says that the fast of Ramadan ends to-morrow and that it is thought there that the Dervishes will cause trouble and march northwards.The despatch adds thet mueh anxiety is felt in official circles and that the military authorities have been in consultation ali day long.Lv is reported in semi-official circles here that the expedition of British troops and black allies, which is sald in advices from Cario to have proceeded to Dor- goia, has been approved by Lord Wolse- ley, the commander-in-chief of the British army.It Is also sald the object of the expedition is not for the protection ot Egypt; but, to make a diversion in favor of the Italians at Kassala, the city which Lhe Italians captured some time ago from une Dervishes and which the latter are said to be besleging.'This is what caused the War Office to suddenly determine upon operations which will involve a considerable expenditure of money and men.This seems fo be the best line ofl action to assist Italy without drawing upon the British Treasury, while; at the same time, it will shelve indefinitely the demands for the British evacuation of Bgypt.The main cost of the expedition will fail upon the Egyptian Treasury, which is now ini à condition to hear & financial strain.In this connection, perhaps, the return of Baron de Courcely the French Ambassador to Great Britain, to Paris, may ve looked upon as significant.His departure was taken immediately after a iong interview with Lord Salisbury, which is believed to have especial reference to affairs in Egypt.It is thought that France may protest against the use of the Egyptian surplus fori a war to conquer the Soudan, but her protest will be isolated.No other power than Great Britain is likely to regard it, - \u2018and no other power will join in \u2018a protest against the expedition.The plan of campaign as submitted at the Cabinet meeting held yesterday is that five black infantry battalions, seven Egyptian battalions, and a large force of artillery and cavalry, with about 100 British officers, will compose the expeditionary forces, The same route as taken in 1884 will be followed; but, owing to the low water in the Nile, the transport of ammunition and supplies must be by camels, of which a very large number will be required.It is proposed to conquer the Soudan, province by province.Dongola will be first taken, and then a great deal will depend upon circumstances.While the campaign is endorsed by the Unionists, the Liberals wand Radical press loudly protest against it.The route which will be followed is this: There is a railway as far as Girgh, 330 miles from (Cairo.Then to Wady-Halfa, a distance of 250 miles further, there is no obstacle to Nilg navigation, but the remaining 250 miles to Dongola present immense difficulties, that portion of the river which lies between Wady-Halfa and Isakarmatta, a distance of 109 miles, is the worst part, five serious\u2019 cafaracts having to be encountered, with a succession of rapids and rocks.There is some talk about the lobbies of the House of Commons to-day that the , Anglo-Fgyptian expedition from Wady-Halfa to the second cataract, in favor of the Italians may intend to push further than Dongola, perhaps to Berber above the fifth cataract.Sir Charles Dilke is quoted as denouncing the expedition, for if it should meet with re verses, Great Britain would be comgelfed to follow up the aggressive move on a large scale and possibly another conse- guential and expensive Soudan war would result.I.ondon, march 14,=There is much rejoicing in the British army at the pros vect of another campaign in the Soudan, in spite of the past experiences with the fierce, tireless troops of the Mahdi, and the recent defeat of the Italians by the Abyssinians.That a British-Fgyptian advance up the Nile from Wady-Halfa, on Dongola has been determined upon is no longer a question in doubt.All the British officers of the Egyptian army who have been absent on leave have been ordered to return to their posts immediately, and a despatch from Cairo announces that the Connaught i Rangers have already been ordered to Wady- Halfa) The proposed campaign bas been impending for a yeär past, although it was undoubtedly precipitated by the crushing defeat of General Baratieri at Adowa, which it is believed, had a depressing effect upon the prestige of European arms and may, consequently, lead tu an advance northward of the Dervishes.But the real reason for the campaign now being prepared at the British war oKce may be found in the fact that Egypt will never be secure from attack and disaster so long as the Mahdi's power remains unshaken, \u2018Although the relief of Kassala may be the outward cause of the British advance, the possession of the fertile region about Dongola, which furnish a wealth of supplies to the Khalif# is what Great Britain is really after, and there is little doubt that an attempt to capture the Mahdi atronghold Om- durahman will follow, Cairo, March 15.\u2014The Egyptian Coun: cil yesterday stated that Lord Cromer, the British agent, had announced that a thousand British troops drafted at European stations were coming here directly to take part in the cdvance upon Dongola.It is reported that France; as a gua: ranteeing power to the Egyptian bondholders, will refuse her consent to the cost of the camraign.which is estimated at £2,300,000, being charged to the Egyptian budget, In support of this 1 ce.decision it is alleged from French sources .| decorated, ana crowds of that no movemient exists in the Soudan warranting such a campaien and that, on the contrary, the Khalifa Abdullah has lost all his authority and has withdrawn his loyal adherents from the Cas- sala district, himself fearing assassination.London, March 15.\u2014The Associated Press is abie to state, in connection with the re-opened Egyptian question, that the British Government consulted and obtained the approval of a majority of the powers before deciding upon the advance on Dongola.Co This makes the new Soudan campaign of far-reaching political.importance in its bearing upon Great Britain's relations with the European Powers, That the disclosures by recent events of Great Britain\u2019s complete and friendle-s isolation in the community of nations has given a shock and a feeling of uncasiness to the responsible statesmanship of Great Britain has been frankly admitted by British statesmen themselves.That England\u2019s diplomacy has been busy with efforts to.moke some inroads into the universal hostile array of nations has been generally understood.When the terms of the settlement of the dispute over the boundaries between the possession on the Mekong in Indo-China of Great Britain and France were made known the world expressed its wonder at the substantial concessions made by Great Britain, and the opinion was generally held that Great Britain sought to Secure an entente with France ug a-con- sideration for these concessions.Many commentators professed to see confirmation of this opinion in the suggestion offered by the Sultan a little later to Lord Salisbury that England should regularize the situation in Egypt.It was suggested that the Sultan's suggestion was inspired by Great Britain itself in order to open up a course for the evacuation of Egypt, thus removing the principal cause for irritation between Great Britain and France.The announcement of the new Soudzn campaign is clear and convincing evidence that there is to be no rapproache- ment between Great Britain and France.If further evidence were needed of this, it was seen in the prolonged visit on Friday to the Foreign Office of Baron De Courcel, the French Ambassador in London, which was cabled exclusively to the Associated Press on that day, and his subsequent departure in person to Paris to impart the result of his interview to the French Cabinet.Corroboration of France's opposition to the proposed Soudan campaign is found in the despatch from Cairo to the Associated Press, naming as the explicit grounds of her opposition that no movement in the Soudan exists warranting such a campaign, and that the Khalifa Abdullahi, the successor of the late Mahdi Mohammed Ahmed, and military chief under him in the former war, has lost all his authority and has withdrawn his loyal adherents from the Cas sala district.The advance upon Dongola wag decided upon by the British Government with a view to the favorable effect it would have upon the Italian situation in Abyssinia, as was stated by the \u2018Times, the organ of the British Cabinet, in connection with its announcement of the Soudan campaign.Almost simultaneously with this announcement comes the news of wné visit of Count | Goluchowski, the Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister, to Berlin, and the statement that \u2018as a result the Dreibund is to remain intact, and that the German Government's irritable attitude towards Great Britain, as manifested over the Transvaal episode, has beën mollified through the exertions of Count Goluchowski.The question of the hour in European polities is whether Great Britain has thrown in her fortunes.with the Drei- bund as against France and Russia.The statement.which has been promised for to-morrow in the House of Commons of the purposes of the proposed advance up the Nile by Mr.George N.Curzon, the Parliamentary Secretary ol the Foreign Office, is looked for with keen interest, in the hope that it may disclose something of the shifting of international relations now being adjusted in Europe.IT WAS ST.JOSEPH'S DAY.A Great Processison\u2014Good Sermons and an Enjoyable Banquet.The members of the \u201cUnion St.Joseph\u201d had their annual outing yesterday, on the occasion of the feast of their patron saint.The weather was most delightful and about 1,500 members mei at the so- clety\u2019's hall, corner

where an excels lent lunch had been prepared for them, and, after doing justice to the toothsome menu, the following toasts were drank with great enthusiasm: \u2018\u2019The Queen,\u201d \"St.Jean

the Herald).Ottawa, March 14.\u2014The Conservative members of Parliament are highly indignant cover the conduct of Sir Charles Tupper in using the private telegram Irem KPremier Greenway to Sir Donald Smith, knowing that the telegram was oi a purely pzrsonal character, for the purpose of making it appear that the Dominion Government was oifering a conference to the Manitoba Government on the school question.It was pointed out in this correspondence at the time that the whole thing looked to be a Indeed it is was concerned that a political conspiracy was not also being hatched.If not, why use a private telegram, which he also mutilated in the manner that he did?\u2019 To show that Sir Charles, the baronet, knew that he was aware that the telegram was of a purely personal character, and was in no way intended for the use of the Government, it is necessary to go back to March 2 and see the answer which the leader of the House made on, that day to Mr.McCarthy.Mr.McCarthy asked on that date: \u201cl.Was Sir Dcpald Smith authorized on behalf of the Government to negotiate with the Premier or Administration of the Province of Manitoba, with reference to or on the subject of the school law of that province?\u201c2.If yee; has Sir Donald Smith made any report with respzct to such negotiation?\u201d Sir Charles Tupper\u2014I beg to say in relpy to the hon.member that the answer te the first question is, No.In response to the remainder of the question I have\u2019 to say that the only communication that has taken place be= tween Sir Mackenzie Bowell and Sir Donald -Smith was of a purely personal character, no report having been made.So that Sir Charles first stated that the correspondence between Mr.Green- way and Sir Donald Smith was private and he aiterwards proceeded to use part of one of these private telegrams to \u2018assist his shaky aggregation and put Mr.Greenway in a false light before the country.He has since refused to give the other telegrams, but instead stands up in the House and admits that he mutilated the despatch which he him- sell said was private and confidential, and regretted extremely that he had done so.A political leadér in a back township would hardly be guilty of such conduct, and little wonder is it that the Conservatives are praying that Sir Charles would go back to London and attend to his duties there.Sir Mackenzie Bowell is confined to his room with lumbago, and is under the attendance of Dr.Rogers.He will not be able to be out for some days.Mr.Laurier has completely recovered and will be able to be at the buildings

was the harboring of some 80 inmates of the Longue Pointe Asylum, after the terrible conflagration whieh devasted that institution a few years ago.Her gracious offer was ost acceptable to the reverend

ACCUSED.Dr.Carl Peters Said to Have Done Re volting Things in Africa.Berlin, March 14\u2014Diegusting charges have been made in the Reichstag against Dr.Carl Peters, the African explorer while he was Imperial Commissioner to friAca in 1831.He is accused.of causing a negro and negress to be executed because they \u2018had taken a fancy to each other, Peters having had improper relation with the negress.Peters denies the charge and says they were executed as spies.The affair has caused a sensation, and a searching investigation will doubtless result.The exposure has had an adverse effect upon the colonial extension agitation.Dr.Peters is now drawing 60,000 marks from the Exchequer yearly, and is said to be doing nothing for it.Consequently, people are all the more inclined to belleve- the

seamon is being actively carried on to large extent in certain districts.Seeing 80 many violations of the law,which are reported to me,I thought it was my duty to call your attention to the facts, so that you might take the necessary steps to remedy the present state o* affairs.only yesterday Napoleon Biband, à game-keeper, stated to me that sunte the m.ddle of February, to his knowledge, there were a large number of traps in use for the capturing of muskrats.These depredations are committed in his opinion, chiefly in the County of Yamaska, in the lower part of St.Francois Bay.vo i «The persons who thus violate the law | take many precautions, and it is very difficult for the game-keeperg to fulfill their duty, for the hunters have sentinels rosted in certain places and game-keep- Oa tu.several offenders, but I will not divulge them just at present.Mr.Biband has scareû several hunters away, and he has seen thelr hunting outfit.\u201cAs I am.on the subject \u2018of violations of the hunting laws, I might mer- tion that Iam creditably fnformed that hare and partridge hunting is being car- { pied on to a large extent mn the swamps of Boucherville and in Ste.Julle.The \u2018most elementary precautions are scorned to hide these violation! of the law.Being manager of the hunting and fishing club of the Chenal du Moines, I be- eve I am authorized to ask you to put an end to these depredations and that the laws be strictly enforced.\u201cHoping that you will take my demand into favorable consideration and assuring you of my concurrance, if it could be of any use to you.\u201cYour obedient servant, (Signed) \u201cJOS.RIENDEAU.\u201d - CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE.Defections from the Ranks of the Club at Windsor.Windsor, Ont., March 14.\u2014Mayor Mason, of Windsor, has resigned as the candidate of the Independence of Can-~ ada party.He writes as follow: \u201cN.Guindon, President Canadian Independence Club: : \u201cDear Sir,\u2014At a convention held by your club about 80 days ago I was tendered unanimously your nominatich as candidate for the Dominion Parliament.Not being aware at the time of bers, and these views not being in ac- bers, and these view not being in accordance with my ideas, I therefore hand.you my résignatièn.My views are embodied in my address, bearing date Tth March.I may say that I shall stand ag the representative of the people and independent candidate advocating the cause of the working men, mechanics and farmers.(Signed) \u201cD, WILLIS MASON.\" The mayor characterized the: radical views of certaln members of the party us having been a millstone around his neck, Asked if he would make Lis platform the same as he had declared when le was the candidate for the Independk ence of Canada Club, he said he would and that there must be & change, elther by Canada becoming practically inde pendent or by having preferential trade with Great Britain.England should throw up à wall against other nations in behalf of Canada, as France and Germany have done on behalf of their colonies.He said F.D.Davis has also\u2019 resigned from the club.IIe explains his action in this way: \u201cI am a loyal sub.je-t of the Queen, and I am not pre: pared to go any further than Ma-on did in his manifesto.À large number of our members hold the same views while the extremists want to force upon us the manifesto of the Toronto Canadian

Christian, of London, Eng., recently contained quite a lengthy notice of its aims.It depends solely on voluntary support, and Rev.J.McCarter, the superintendent, reports that so far this has been satisfactory.QUEEN'S BENCH SENTENCES, The Pelletier criminal assault case continues to hold the attention of the Queen\u2019s Bench.Chief Justice Sir Alexander [Lacoste impdsed thé \u2018following

Creature.The new woman of the novelist is merely one of Dr.Max Nordau\u2019s degenerates.She is the creation of a writer who is hysterical and degenerate, and the world takes her as something that really exists.To be sure, there are plenty of women with \u2018\u2018pasts\u2019 and with \u2018\u2018yearnings,\u2019\u2019 and there always have been and probably always will be, bat I doubt if any woman outside of an insane asylum talks the rubbish about spiritual impacts, tells that \u2018*we are tones of one chord,\u2019\u2019 and about the \u2018\u2018vile slavery\u2019 of marriage, as do the women of Miss Pendered and Mr.Grant Allen.Writers of this sort do not represent the women of the day any more than the painted women of the streets represent the women of good society.The jaundiced writers of \u2018\u2018The Yellow Book\u201d cannot be expected to give us pictures of healthy lives.Their tastes run to worm eaten fruit.They have no liking for that which is red with the hue of health.They prefer the yellow hue of decay.Dr.Nordau is quite right when he calls it disease.The heroines of \u2018\u201c\u2018The Yellow Book,\u2019\u2019 of *\u2018Discords\u2019\u2019 and of \u2018\u2018Wreckage\u2019\u2019 might have been taken from Lombroso\u2019s study of the female offender.If they exist outside of heir creator's brains, their cases will be found recorded in scientific studies of criminology or in the ordinary police reports.The new woman as I find her outside of the pages of fiction is an industrious, healthy minded, healthy bodied young person, with a certain amount of independence, who cares more for out of door sports than for indoor follies, and who if she has work to do does it and does not waste her time in telling about it.Her spirits run high over the adventures of \u2018\u2018A Gentleman of Francs,\u2019 she laughs and cries by turns over \u2018\u201c\u2018Trilby\u2019\u2019 and thinks \u2018\u2018The Dolly Dialogues\u2019 great fun, but for \u2018\u2018 Yellow Discords\u2019\u2019 and the like she has no use.I am happy to say that little of the hysterical literature of the day originates in this country.It is almost entirely of English origin.Some of our younger writers have tried their hands at it, but they do not take to it naturally, and it is fast going out of fashion.There always will be a handful of people who like erotica, but I think there lras been a turn in the tide which even at its highest never swamped the writers of purer fiction.Rudyard Kipling and Mrs.Humphry Waid have many more readers than Grant Allen and Mary L.Pendered, and in this country our writers of clean fiction are the most popular.\u2014Jeannette Gilder, [CTR ry [aa EE T.- A Chicagoan Gibe.\u201cI see they're going to change the

APPARENTLY.A Tale From Texas Which Supports the Affirmative, but There Are Naturalists Who Say No\u2014Claim That the Snake's Victims Are Self Hypnotized.sod SpE : À gôpher snake at Escondido has been the cause of much earnest discussion among local naturalists.The question discussed was, \u2018\u2018Do Snakes Charm or Hypnotize Their Prey?\u201d One of the naturalists had the unusual but fortunate experience at Escondido of happening upon @ large gopher snake just as the reptile was about to overcome a trem- \u2018bling cottontail raBbit and envelop the animal in its deadly coils.For some time the naturalist watched the snake\u2019s movements, It was within 10 or 12 inches of the apparently fascinated rabbit.Silently and almost imperceptibly the snake had wormed its way nearer and nearer to its victim.Its eyes glistened with an intense brightness.Not a movement did it make which might alarm the timid rabbit, The forked tongue, which to the eye of a human being is so repulsive and intended to be terrifying, appeared to exert an entirely different influence upon the mind of the innocent rabbit: This darting tongue either excited the victim's curiosity or caused the animal to so concentrate its mind on the snake\u2019s tongue as to throw that mind into a hypnotic conditton of such strength that it could not break the spell and run away from impending death.The forked tongue darted out of the snake\u2019s mouth almost as regularly and rapidly as the needle of a sewing machine rises and falls in the cloth.The lithe body erept nearer and nearer.The rabbit was motionless.Its eye was fixed on the piercing eye of the snake.Even the waving of the wind kissed shrubs about the rabbit failed to break the spell, and softly and slowly grim death in snake form wreathed its folds about the creature.Then was the spell broken.But the strong coils of the snake were in position.Never a rabbit lived tha could break that embrace of death.Realizing at last the terrible peril, the terrified rabbit struggled vainly to escape, and ag therings of the snake drew closer about the frail form so tightly that breathing became difficult the rabbit uttered a despairing cry almost human in its intenseness and sound.It was the rabbit\u2019s last earthly utterance.An extra twist of the cruel coils and poor bunny was no more.Lungs, heart and bones were literally crushed.The snake did not relax the pressure for fully ten minutes.Unwinding itself, the snake dragged the prey under an adjoining bush for dinner.To the naturalist who watched the capture of the rabbit it appeared as if the snake had certainly fascinated the animal.:As a gopher snake is not poisonous and has no well developed fangs its only means of killing prey is by constriction.In order to catch an animal it seems almost necessary for the snake to fascinate the victim.Other naturalists claim that snakes do not possess the power of fascinating either birds or animals.One man who has given the matter much study remarked that \u2018\u2018no error is apparently more rooted in the human mind than that which attributes to snakes this peculiar power of fascination.\u201d\u201d By this power they are said to be able so to paralyze their vie- tims that the birds or animals are rendered utterly incapable of movement and wait for the attack of a snake or even go forward to meet it in fear and trembling, but without any power of retaliation.Now, any one who watches the behavior of small animals placed alive as food in the cages in which snakes are kept in captivity in the hope of seeing this marvelous power in operation will be grievously disappointed.Chickens, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, all move about with an utter absence of fear of the snakes.My belief is that it is possible to account for the popular belief that snakes possess a power to fascinate for several reasons.An observer may come on the scene and find a number of birds mohbine a snake just as they will mob an owl ôr'a Duzzard.The däthes or the bird toward the snake and their fluttering round it may easily be put down to the effect of the snake\u2019s glance, while they are in reality merely attempts of the birds to drive off the intruder.A mother bird whose young are attacked will almost certainly behave in this way and may herself fall a victim, not to the power of fascination in the snake, but to the force of her maternal feelings.It may be the mobbing of the snake by the companions of a victim that has been seized or of a mother whose nest bas been robbed; it may be simply the effect of poison already injected before the observer has come upon the scene, er it may be simple curiosity.In ninety- =ine cases ont of a hundred one or the other of these causes has been at work, What, then, of the hundredth case, and what about the fascination exercised on man, cases of which have undoubtedly been recorded?The explanation lies in the probability that it is a case of self hypnotism.It is an error to suppose that will power has anything to do with the effect.The matter has been taken up scientifically by the medical profession and it has been found that the hypnotio state of sleep or trance, or whatever it may be termed, can be produced by looking fixedly at the operator or at a coin or at the tip of one\u2019s own nose.It is not necessary to go into the question of how the result is brought about, but there is a physiological explanation.What happens then in the hundredth case is that the man or the animal may be self hypnotized by gazing fixedly at the snake, the subject being thus thrown into à sort of trance, making no attempt to move out of danger unless roused by zome exterior influence.\u2014San Diego Cor.Chicago Times-Herald.The \u2018\u2018general\u2019 of our

traveling gown.Her mother had beer dead a year or more, and she had had the constant care and companionship of her little sister ever since their affliction.The 7-year-old entered the room and went to her sister\u2019s chair very thoughtfully.Drawing a letter from the little pocket, she said: \u2018Alice, here is a letter to mamma.I have just written, telling her all about the wedding.Will you send it to her?\u201d The elder sister, a little shocked, replied as gently as possible that she couldn\u2019t send a letter to mother.Then the little one, looking quite bright, said promptly: \u2018\u2018Oh, yes, you can, because now you are married, you will be getting a little girl, and when you send for her, just give the doctor this letter, and he can take it to mamma whon he goes for the baby.\u2019 And there on the envelope was the address, printed as best she could : \u2018\u2018To Mamma, In Heaven.Kindness of the Doctor.\u2019 She took the letter, and hugged the little one to hide the tear which was rubbed off on the curly, brown head.\u2014 Washington Star.Lincoln's Modesty.The Tribune has received a Yetter from Mr.George Kluetsch, editor of the Lincoln (Neb.)

and quite properly, too.The American, on the other hand, with equal propriety, regards the Canadian with the good natured condescension always felt by the freeman for the man who is not.free.A funny instance of the English attitude toward Canada was shown after: Lord Dunraven's inglorious fiasco last September, when the Canadian yachtsman, Rose, challenged for the American Cup.The English journals repudiated him on the express ground that a Canadian was not an Englishman, and not entitled to the privileges of an Englishman.In their comments many of them showed a dislike for Americans which almost rose to\"hatred.The feeling they displayed for the Cana~ bians was not one of dislike.It was one of contempt.\u201d .- : = If it were possible for Mr.Reosevelt to insult anyone, this might be regarded as insulting.His discoveries regarding the mental attitude of Englishmen toward Canadians, and of the repudiation of Mr.Rose by the English press on account of his being a Canadian, are unworthy of notice, but the statement that Canadians have not a complete freedom is so utterly at variance with the facts as: to occasion surprise that Mr.Roosevelt should have written it.If Mr.Roosevelt intends to write any more magazine articles he might take the trouble to choose some subject unon which he is informe.THE TROUBLE AT 8T.JOHNS.n a letter to a contemporary, a person, signing himself \u201cAn, Officer,\u201d has seen fit to take ex~ ception to the comment made by the Herald upon the methods employed at St.Johns military school.Had this officer read the Herald's article with the same care that he implies he has given to a perusal of \u2018regulations, he would not have fallen into the errors that he hag.\u2018The Herald has not said one word in extenuation of the offence which the men committed in refusing to parade, but what the Herald has said, and; what it repeats, is that, after proper punishment has been awarded the men, a searching enquiry should be made into the methods employed at St.Johns toward the imparting of military instruction to attached men.\u2018The experience of \u201cAn Officer\u201d is that many men sent to the schobls In winter are \u2018unfit for soldiering, as they do not like barrack life.\u201d This is fharmingly ingenuous.Is it to be expected that men will like a barrack life, the chief diversion of which is shovelling snow?Our contemporary\u2019s correspondent has discover ed that the writer of the Herald\u2019s articles has never taken; a course at St.Johns, or at any other military school, and hence, by inference, is unqualified toi speak on the subject.(Common-sense and not military science is wanted in dealing with a matter of this kind, and this is a fact which some people, other than mutineers, will have ample opportunity of appreciating before the incident fs dismissed.It is interesting to note that \u201cAn Officer\u201d forgot to indicate his present whereabouts, buti a certain glib use of such unfamiliar terms as \u201cregimental depots\u2019 would indicate that he was not fdr from the seat of the trouble himself.His careful attention is directed tb a letter, which appears in another column, from one 'who has attended the school at St: Johns.It is'one of several communications which have been received in endorsation of the Herald\u2019s position.TBE AUTOCRACY OF IGNORANCE, A personage decked in glorious apparel], glittering with gems, seated on a magnifical throne, and surrounded by a mob of sycophants, rubbing their noses in the dust before the throned one, may pass in oriental climes, where a burning sun entails an invertebrate morality, as the proper sort of thing to represent majesty({ and government, but in other lands, where blast and storm demand sturdier mortals, the whole thing is looked upon as a costly bit of panto- the tinsel {the only way for them to know this \u2018t.the wilderness.Anglo-Saxon race, even in the old days, very quickly cured anyone who attempted to arrogate the rights of the people.The fiercely independent Spirit of the Viking hordes, who only honored the chief for his own intrinsic power, clearly shown forth, dominates their children to-day, revealing itself in the indomitable pluck and undying energy that pervades the very air of our land.The people are the power, the incarnation of the Divine, wielding and owh- ing all power, to be governed by none save those whom they choose as their representatives.The day of the divine right of anybody to do wrong 13.gone; and gone for ever, with all flummery and bombastic phraseology which served to please the children of the race.The genius of our folk is to move slowly but like the mighty \u2018good when it does move, it sweeps all before it in its resistless rush.In lands where education is not, where piety is measured by ignorance, and saintship by the stench of the filthy rags of the holy ones, the people are held in vile servitude by the tyrants who live on the toil of their dupes, but so soon as it is realized that each one is as great as he is in the sight of God and no.greater, then autocracy falls and liberty blesses every home and life, The demand and need is that the people realize their power and is by education.The true education, that does not produce men who must live under glass shades lest any breath of fresh air may blow on their delicate organisms or shatter their fragile theories, but men who are fit to face the tempest-rage, firm in convictions grounded in knowledge.We demand that the people rule themselves, and further, that in order to do this they be edu- Rated as brothers with one common aim and as meg fit to be trusted in life to read and-learn of the ways and wonders of the great law-abiding\u2014yet fres \u2014Universe of God.In one of \u201cthe great Libraries of Southern Æurope, rich with splendid works, a very treasure trove of accumulated knowledge, when the student goes, he meets with all manner of difficulties before he can cross the threshold, and then when he does get in, he finds that his real troubles have but begun.Face to face with thousands of valuable works, eager to learn, he is struck dumb wher he discovers there is no catalogue, and worst of all that every book is turned with its face to the wall.A sleek cufstodian smiles at the woebegone traveller who finds out what bigoted igmorance can do to balk research.Co to bo Masses of knowledge in our land are thus buried and hid from the people, who too oft gly eup In despair before such ways, instead of rising up in one united revolt and asgerting their, sovereign right.Day by day the, voice of the people is being heard; it is growing and will grow til it makes the welkin ring with its intensity.Liberty must be proclaimed from Halifax to Vancouver, from every town and village and lonely cot in Let the centres of pors- lation, where there is human sympathy to help, take up the cry, and begin by demanding the right of every man to vote for the representatives of the education of his town.We*have the right to : elect our members of Parliament and we should have the right Io elect the members of ever} educaticnaï board.Knowing that by having fit and proper men there, the young will be so educated as to know how -to vote for the rulers of the nation of the future.There never can be a pure and honest Government until there are pure and honest voters; there never can be pure and honest voters until the people are so educated as to realize and know their own powers and responsi~ bilities.\u2018As in the days of old, tha flaming cross was sent out to summon every true man to come and fight against the common foe, 80.now: must the standard of liberty go forth, blazing with the, light of knowledge td arouse the people to one united and determined onslaught on the hideous enemy of our land and time, self-conceited and arrogant official Ignorance.\\ æ A WORED\u2019S FAIR.Tt was suggested by the Herald, as long ago as September 24 of last year.that no great fair should be held in tMcntreal until 1897.It was admitted freely by the Herald df that time, \u2018as it must be universally admitted now, that nothing advertises a éity or Ja country more widely or effectively than a great fairs It was remarked at that time that \u20acCanada needs such advertising now, and needs it badly.The value of those great works of development, for which the Canadiang \u2018have taxed themselves, will never be adequately recognized in the world at large, except on some such basis; \u2018and the best way to attain that end,\u201d said the Herald, in September last, \u201cjs undoubtedly the holding of a world's fair in the centre of distribution, in she commercial metropolis of Camada.\u201d But, the Herald sald, such a fair must be worthy of the Dominion and the metropolis, and it disewssed in the following terms the question as to the holding of a fair in 1896.vo The time for preparation is \u2018exceedingly short, and the circumstances of the country will hardly be propitious.The Federal Parliament is on the paint of being dissolved ,and can hardly be can~ vassed in time to secure am adequate appropriation before the adjournment of the coming session.Until next spring the country will be disturbed by a political agitation, which will monopolize the attention of many, and will affect all.The practical politician will be abroad.exercising his pressure on the Ministers; and there is danger that any money.voted by the Federal Government \u2018would be spent more\u2019 for the benefit of the cams paign than of the fair.At the same time the municipal elections are coming on, bringing their quota of excitemment and disturbance.The condition of civic finances 1s not brilliant, and will not improve, until next spring, so that{ a large appropriation from the.city could hardly be expected just now.The Provincial Legislature is also on the ragged edge of its existence.The agitation preceding the election will be in full blast next summer.A large appropriation from that source also cannot be expected until more pressing needs have been attended to.But by 1897 all the elections will be over; the burning questions which are now agitating the country will have been settled as far as it is humanly rossible to mime to amuse the children.The settle them; Montreal improvements now! took place on Saturday and was con- | any indiscretion on oun part which has sturdy, independent children of -the | 80ing on Will have been completed;

she knew her father\u2018s nature too well to have any doubt of his whereabout now, if he were alive.Her maid brought the intimation that & man named Johnstone wanted to mee Mrs.Malcolm.- , es \u201cSend him in here!\u201d said ret, quickly.\u201cThat is from the camp,\u201d observed tho doctor ; \u201cI hope your correspondence may not betray us some day.When you have read your letter you will find me in \u2018the garden.And the doctor quitted the room as Neil Johnstone, the old servant of El- vanlee, entered, Neil had discovered his master\u2019s secret, and, determined not to be separated from him, he had obtained an engagement in the canteen of the regiment, and he was now the chief manager of it.His services proved invaluable to the husband and wife, who during the period of suspense had found no opportunity of meeting.Johnstone had acted as courier, and hitherto he had accomplished his task without difficulty.As Mrs.Malaolm received the letter he now presented, her face glowed with pleasure.For the moment all the ter+ rors which surrounded her were forgotten.She took Johnstone's\u2019 hand, thanking him with an earnestness that made the old man proud, and inspired him with the courage to risk anything to afford her so much joy.He was to wait for an answer, and he had to sede about a barrel cf whiskey \u2018up the town,\u201d which was his ostensible mission to Dunkeld; as he informed his mistress, he went off on that errand, promising to return speedily.Co he opened; the letter.The sight of the words dazzled her eyes as if the sunlight had flashed in them, blinding her with its glory.As she read, she almost fancied that his voice was aude ible : she had never known how sweet a sound it was until left with only memory's echo of ft.\u201cMy own wife\u2019 She Kissed the insensible paper, and \u201cAy, Malcolm, al- i Marga- ways yours} \u201c My own wife\u2014nearly a whole year has passed since we were together: Scarcely a year, and yet a dreary age of misery and suspense has been concentrated in that brief space.\u201d\u201d She paused, dwelling upon every word.Was their separation so short as that, and she had grown so very old?Only a year kince she had watched by his bedside in the cottage, waiting for the end.Only a year since he had risen, as it were, from the arms of death, pale and feeble, but strong in the great ambition which quickened him.\u201cAs a commsn soldier,\u201d he had said, \u201cI will take service for King George} and in the ranks I will win back my honor or die.\u201d She had not had the heart to dissuade him very strongly, for she had seen that it was this hope which had given him life.Bo, when she had been alarmed byl learning that Colonel Strang had discov ered her retreat, Malcolm had gone away.Since then he had found some destraction for his thoughts in the ex- \u20acitement or battle, of hazard in thé field and in the camp, and in the wild Joy of feeling that every new venture brought him one step nearer to the goal.But to her there had heen left only the bitter dread of unknown calamities which lengthened hours.\u2018Ah, Malcolm,\u201d she sighed, *\u2018it has been a long year?{ Then she read; om.+ + ; \u2018But the Hour of our \u2018triumph is near.I have returned to-day successful from an expedition which nobody but myself would undertake.\u2018The general has publicly acknowledged my services to the Government; and thanks to his favor, I hope In a few days td be able to \u2018declare myself, and to claim the reversion of the sentence so hastily pronounced upon me.Be glad, then, for our separa~ tion will only endure a little while longer.Commend me to our sister Ag nes and to your own good thought.\u201cYour true lover and husband, MALCOLM.When she had read this many times, finding with each perusal new pleasure from its tidings, she sat down to write the response.She had just taken the pen 4n hand, when \u2018the doer opened and the domestic announced, $ ;
