public.Capital is shy, -eryone knows, and the mere runor st Insecurity must act in a manner direct ly contrary to the interests of properties that are as good as\u2014as good as\u2014\u201d \u201cGold?\u201d suggested the reporter.\u201cExactly,\u201d said the man of mines, \u201cjust as good as gold.\u201d \u2018LI notice in the article, however,\u201d he continued, \u201cone paragraph which says, \u2018What then is their true position?Tt is unfortunately that in the large majority of Mistances thev have seen the lust ot their money.\u201d I think that that statement is altogether too sweeping, at least, in so tar as the companies organized in Koss land are concerned.Referring particular- Iy to the companies included in the Ross tand Miner's stock quotations, the greas majority are bona fide, officered by men who not only have personal knowledge of mining, but have reputations to lose.during all great mining developments \u2018wild-cat\u2019 properties and \u2018wild-cat\u2019 meth.ols obtain to a great extent, and, as a rule, spring into existence at large centres : of population far removed from the mines | themselves, The favorite and most dan | gerous method is \u201cat of the schemer who perhaps takes the pain.o go to the mines | and secure a cheap proposition of undetermined value.fluential men as directors, president and so on by the gift of blocks of stock.These names are duly paraded, with the obvious result of enticing otherwise cautious investors, who cannot investigate for themselves, aud who, believing that these gentlemen whose names have been used have investigated, tumble over one another t» buy the shares.\u201cThe truth of the whole matter is that no matter how meritorious a property is, it squires time and the expenditure ot money under skilled direction to render 1t productive, and companies which promise anything else in their prospectuses justly liable to suepicion.\u201d \u201cHow many good mines do you think there will be at Rossland?\u201d was asked.\u201c1 wish I could answer that question sat'sfactorily,\u201d returned Mr.Walters, \u201cThere are sixteen \u2018square miies of sulid locations surrounding the town.Not only are first-class properties found on the outskirts, but a line cannot be drawn though the map in any direction without intersecting meritorious properties.In this particular the Rossland Camp differs from all other great mining camps, of which we have any account.Elsewhere the mines have a common general direction, and are confined to more or less narrow zones.This is not true at Rossland.It is largely due to this eccentricity that the camp was kept back from 1891 to 1895 by the adverse reports of visiting experts.Now that skill, capital and determined effort devoted by mining men from the United States has proven the absolute worth of the Rossland mines it remains to be seen whether or no Canadian capital will occupy and control the great gpld fields.Îf not, they will pass permanently into the hands of people from the other side und abroad.\u201d \\ ONE FRAUD ADMITTED.Mr.R.Meredith Deals With The Herald's Criticism-Ventilate the Subject, He Says.Mr.R.Meredith, of Messrs.À.WV, Ross and Co, when called upon by a reporter, said :\u2014 \u201cI was rather pleased to see your article, although the heading of it is certainly a little startling.Your writer has somewhat exaggerated his statements, but it is well that the public should be warned against what in some cases are little less than gross frauds.Of what has been done in Toronto, I know nothing except from hearsay, but if that be true, it woald seem that anything \u201cgoes.\u201d With our people in Montreal, it is certainly different.1 know of only one fraua that was perpetuated on the public, and that was last summer to the extent of some $6,000.Our people usually want to know too much before they put their money in.and are not caugh¥ with a big display advertisement or an elaborately gotten-up prospectus.The success of mining enterprises appears to depend more on careful management, and that is what is not often taken into consideration.The gentlemen who come here from the West usually tell us that it is only necessary to partially develop a property, when a buyer for the whole claim at advanced price can be found.The stocks that have been chiefiy taken up here aie those of companies who have gone in fo# bona-fide work, and although it is early vet to prophecy ns to their success, there is every reason to ex pect that most of them will be profitable.\u201cI do not agree that a large number of mines both bad and good will be offered for sale in Montreal this season.The boomers who have come here either for shorter or longer periods, have nearly all left disgusted with the want of enterprise in our people, and the brokers who are here to stay are not likely to sell stocks which they are tolerably sure have no intrinsic value.The mail brings us lots of prospectuses and offers of agencies for various companies, but usually the correspondence ceases when we enquire into the ¢s- sets and finances of the company.\u201cThe more this subject is ventilated, the better for all, as it wi'l help to prevent swindles and encourage investment in gond ther prosperity of our country.\u201d UNITED COUNTIES RY,

Secret Given Away Through a Letter.Boston and Explained Re Plan.Sherbrooke, April 6\u2014t~pecial.)\u2014Henry Burns, teamster tor Hovey Bros, was arrested by High Constable Aloe yesterday.He is charged with attempting to poison his wite and little four-year-old boy by putting iodine in the medirine which they were taking.For several weeks Mra Burns has been very ill, and for the last few days she bas been failing rapidly.The cause of her sickness was not known until yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, when a letter from her \"husband addressed to Miss Emma Sun- t bury, Boston, was read by Mra Burns.i The letter reveals the whole story of his \"perfidy and tells of the dastardly means {by which he intended to end the life of \u2018his wife and child.t Burns is well-known in Sherbrooke and UC all along the line oi the BP.& M.RR,, on | which for years he was employed as a | conductor, till last September, when he \"was discharged for allowing passengers to travel free or for less than regular rates.{ 11is salary driving a team was less than !what he received as conductor, but to | make up the deficiency, and help her husband along, Mrs.Burns would do dressmaking, and other light work, Her kindness to him was evidently not appreciate.ed, for, it is said, he did not treat her well.They have boarded at the Sher brooke House, and during that time Mrs, Burns hua been very uneasy about her husband, knowing that he lived a double life.On Monday night she told him that if he did not quit corresponding with Miss Sunbury she would leave him and go to her father.\"lo this Burns said, \u201cYou will go soon enough, perhaps quicker than you expect.\u201d a SHE OPENED HIS LETTER.The following morning, Mrs.Burns called at the hotel office and asked the clerk, Mr, Hall, for the letter addressed Miss Emma Sunbury, Boston, which Mr.Burns had posted before going to work.The letter was given to Mrs.Durns, and she returned to her room, to read it.It was eight pages, and began with expressions of love and kindness, but when Mrs, Burns reached the middle puges, she was horrified to learn that her husband was plotting to take her life.She read the words: \u201cMy little plan is working well.1 think a few more doses will do up the job and then 1'll be with vou.\u201d Besides these words the letter contained the whole par ticulars of his evil design.In epeaking with Mrs.McViear, a lady boarder, after rcading the letter, Mrs.Burns said, \u201cOh, I knew what was coming, and I told Henry often and often that outsiders knew of his intimacy with that girl, and that something dreadful! would happen if he continued to correspond with her.I warned him, and begged and prayed of him to have nothing more to da with her; but, no, he would not listen to me.So you see what it has come to, and what is yet to happen.\u201d If the discovery had not been made at the time it was the doctors say the result would have been certain death to both Mrs.Burns and her little one.As vet, however, they are out of danger, though Mrs.Burns is very weak.When she speaks of her husband\u2019s arrest, she savs, \u201clle deserves to be punished.Tor eleven years we have heen married and to think that he would now take my life drives me almost frantic.lt is his poor mother and father that I pity.\u201d Miss Sunbury will be arrested and brought.here as an acc-mphice.REMANDED TILL MONDAY.Henry Burns, who was arrcsted at the Sherbrooke House yesterday for attempling to poicon his wife and child, was arraigned for preliminary examination be/ore Jusiice Mulvena this morning.J.S.Broderirk, l'sq., appeared in defence of the accused.After a short examination the prisoner was remanded til next Monday.Miss Lnima Sunbury, to whom Burns had wrt- ten a

Line.But again the hand of the management was palsied.An unseen power was exerted at Ottawa, and the injunction went forth that the speed of the train must be decreased\u2014it was too fast for some people All this goes to show that a road conducted directly by a partisan Government is incapable of making the most of its oportunities.It is a ball at the foot of the Government, to be kicked as political expedicney dictates, And the weaker and more corrupt the Government the more is the road used to further partisan ends.Let the Intercolonial be brought to Montreal, and while its chances of success ewill be better than they now are it will still be hampered by its political connection.The natural remedy for the condition of things here pictured is the removal of the management of the road from the hands of the partisan government and the plae- ing .of it in the hands of a non-partisan commission.Dr.Weldon, of Albert, urged this course with much vigor in the last Partamen:, and it would be well if the subject.were again taken up.It is true that the Government of the day 4would always have it in its power to replace the commission with others of its own political body.but the commission could be so composed that it would be almost as permanent as the judiciary.On it could be placed men of ripe experience in the practical work of railroading, together with men of.perhaps, a more representative character.The Colony of Victoria if we remember aright, pays five thousand pounds a year to its Commissioner of Rail- ways\u2014one of the foremost English engineers, Canada can well afford to spend money freely in securing first-class men for such a commission.And once appointed, it should be their duty to do their duty\u2014 let the chips fall where they will.MISSISSIPPI FLOODS, and Villages.Report Made by the Relief Committee to Congress\u2014Distress in Ste Paul.| \u2014 i Washington, April 6\u2014Mesers.R.C.(iraves and -J.&.Menken, representing the (tizens\u2019 Reliei Committee of Memphis, Tenn.organized ior the purpose of reliev ing the people of the flooded tributary to that city.have arrived in the city.They have prepared the tollowing statement.which thev will submit to the President : \u201cFrom Marion.Ark., north of Memphus.fifty towns and villages uuder water, and miles wide.is submerged and devastated by the floed.Hundreds of thousands ot acres of cultivated soil, with growing crops.are included in this sabmerged, territory, and there are from 50.000 to 60,M0 peopl whose property has been destroved aud whose business has been suspended thereby.The amount of damage to property 1s incalculable.\u201cThis flond is the greatest and most de- siructive that has ever devastated the Mississippi Vallev.the water being 23 fect higher than the highest stage it has ever reached before.The Relief Committee are thoroughly organized ior the purpose of distributing supplies to the people oi the tributary territory, and are willing to deo everything in the r power to that end, bus they have now almost reached the end of their resnurces and reiuctantly confess the their ability to cope with the situation without ohta'ning relirf from the Government.\u201d .St.Paul.Minn.\u2026 Arrnil 6 \u2014The river ai this point 15 four feet above the danger line The flats on the West Side are mostly aubmerged.The loss w chiefiv the poorer people.who are being Weather otic as tied their surplus and that the stage here MOVEHENTR OF STSYAMERS.ARRIVED - APRII 5.MR, ELKINS\" BILL Strikes at England and Other Countries, ! ! Object to Impose a Tax on Goods Carried by Other Than American V essels- Washington, April 6.\u2014Mr.Elkins, a Republican Senator of West Vermont, ad- dr.ssed the Senate yesterday in explana- t'on and advocacy of the bill introduced by him to mmpose a tax of 10 per cent.additional on merchandise imported into the United States on other than American vessels, and 10 per cent.upon such merchandise 1: it be on the free list.In his rpecch he said under a proper policy of encouragement to American shipping, the United States, with its 8,000 miles of sea coast, its navigable rivers and lake coast, variety of climate, productive capacity, rapidly increasing population, its pqgition on th: globe -Asia on one side with 6%0.- 000.000 and Europe on the other side with 400.100.000 of people\u2014should be the leading c-n.mére al ard maritime power of the world.Jo restore lost shipping and place the United States where it belonged in the carrving trade of the world would involve a great contest, chiefly with England, not of arms but as a friendly rival for commercial supreinacy.Great Britain weuld resist cvery sten in the direction of restoring American shipping.She would not be true to hr peorle and her commercial in- sti cts, tralitirn and iuterests were she not to make everv effort in her power to maintain hr supremacy on the seas, What agriculture was to the United States, shinping was to England, and England would use all her endeavors, through wise sta.osnanship and diplomacy, to protect the same.Against this there could be no reasonatie objection.The bill simply im- jnees in ad v.!orem duty of 10 per cent, in adi:tion to cxisting duties, or in case of no duty, a duty of 19 per cent.on all goods, wares and merchandise imported into the United States in foreign vessels.1f theses same prolucte should be imported in American shups.then there is no addition: al duty, and if these products are now free they would still remain free if brought :n American ships.THER WEATHER TO-DAY.Probabilities, 11 a.m.: fair te PE Westerly (0 northerly winds: J cloudy.with local showers;

but the first and second teams have not as yet received any recognition of their season\u2019s work, owing to the C.F.A.being unable to secure the promised trophies from the donors.It is expected, however, that the matter will be settled at the coming annual meeting of the Association, which will be held on Friday evening next.The crowning triumph of the season\u2019s work was, perhaps, the winning of the Caledonian Cup.This handsome cup has to be won three nmes in succession before it becomes the property of any club amd the Point boys are determined to let no team take it away from them this simmer.After a general discussion of business the officers for the ensuing season were clected as follows: Hon, President, C.Cushing;

these matters he desired the Government to make a definite statement, and also to aunounce the policy of the Gov- ¢inm nt in regard to Greece and Crete.Mr.Balfour said the date «of the withdrawal of the Turkish troops from Crete had not vet been fixed.In the meantime, the Powers were making a \u2018joint aleclara- tion to the Government at Athens and to the Government at Constantinople as tie result of which it was hoped that peace would be maintained.This dee: laration was that in the event of a conflict upon the Greek frontier the aggres: sor would be answerable for all the consequences of a disturbance of peace, to which the Powers attached the greatest importance, and also that whatever might be the result of a struggle between Greece and Turkey, the Powers would not consent that the aggressor should derive the slightesy advantage therefrom.ATHENS EAGER FOR WAR.The Times publishes a despatch from Athens saving that the popular impa- tence with the present condition of af tairs

room to make their choice of a candidate to represent the Lib rl party of Brome at the next clections.The delegates had been out scarcely a minute, when thoy returned and announced their unanimous choice was Mr.Duffy.This declaration was received with tremendous applause, which was renewed when the new candidate entered the hall a few minutes later.The hall was speedily filled to its utmost capacity, and the chairman formally announced to Mr.Puäy that he had been sclected by a representative delegation from all over the county to be their standard-bearer.Mr.Duffy, in reply, said that he had been engaged in political contests in the county for a good many seats.lle had worked hard in the interests of the party.It was an honor which any man should prize to be selected by the Zarmers and business men of Brome as their candidate.If there had been any dissent he would not accept.As it was he considered it his duty to accept.(Applause.) But\u201d said Mr.Duffy, \u201cdo vou reallv want a member to represent vou?For the past &IX or seven years Brome County has had no representation at Quebce.If you flect me and expect me to sit there and never open my mouth during the session, and then draw my 5800 and come back again, I won't go.\u201d This announcement was loudly applauded.Continuing, Mr.Duffy said that such a member should seid the money back.If Brome stood by him he would stand bv Brome.The people have been saying that the farmers should he represented.There had been two or three metings to slect a farmers\u2019 candidate, but no agreement had been arrived at.Had they made a selection he would have been ready to help to elect a farmer.If elected he would ask the farmers of the county to elect a permanent committee to which he could submit all legislation affecting the farmers, (Great applause.) Mr.Duffy, then proceeded to explain, one by one, the differ ent planks of his platform.His method of handling the Flynn Government delighted the audience and his references to Mr.Hackett, who spoke here at the time of the Conservative convention, convulsed the meeting.Speeches were also made by C.H.Par- melce, M.P.for Shefford County, and G.W.Stephens, jr\u2026 Montreal.Dr.Du- berger, Waterloo, spoke well in French.All the speakers were well received and the meeting broke up dlighted with the chances of success of Mr, Dufty.The Liberal organization is complete and Mr.Duffy will immediately begin an energetic canvass of the county.Among the prominent Liberals present at the meeting were: J.C.Pettes, John Vernal, George Stevens, A.Kimball, O.JS.Soles, M.Goddard, Dr.Harris, R.Ball,

Saturday arternocn.After their conference they were to draw up a repgit to present to the meeting oi the men, On Friday Sartwell gathered his em.Ployes together and announced to them that, in view of the state of business, the company had voluntarily come to the conclusion that an increase of wages to the extent of ten per cent.should be given, adding that he hoped the amicable rela tions between employers anil employed at the works would loug continue.\u2018This announcement was received with cheers, and the workers, who knew nothing of the meeting of the comnutiee, dispersed well satisticd with the outlook.It was too late to countermand the cath- ering ordered 1or Saturday might, und when It touk place some inkling où what had happened was spread abto.«1, the general opinion being that in some way Marsten had been too clever by half, and had met with an vnuexpected check._ The young man, however, faced the meeting in good fettle.and congratulated them on the jucrease offered.The men were in jubilant humor, and they cheered everv- thing that was said with the utmost impartiality.Marsten told them frankly why the meeting had been called, and he exulted in the tact that the wecent unex: pected turn of events had made any dis- cu-sion unnecessary.1 have heard it hinted,\u201d he omntinued, \u201cthat I.have been out-generalled by Mr.Sartwell, but we can stand a lot of beating on these lines.Mr.Sartwell is evidently afraid of the union now.If the niere rumor that we were about to make a demand induces so stiff-neclind a man as lived, it goes to show the tremendous influence we can wield by all standing firmly together.lt is said that the misplacing of a comma in arract of Parliament once cost thé country a hundred thousand pounds.\u2018I'he one word \u2018now,\u2019 spoken quite usthinkingly by Marsten, made Gibbons grind his tect.in helpless rage.He saw Marsten triumphant and his own administration dim in your present office, where they grudgingly pay vou barely enough to keep body and soul together.I dun't mean the men in these works, but all workingmen evervwhere,\u201d \u201cRather a large order, Marsten.\u201d \u201c1 know it is, but I feel equal to filling

which so terrorized him.I and my friends succeeded in breaking up the sirike, vet vou discharged me a week after, and [ \u2018doubt if Mr.Hope ever gave a thought ta his promise from that day to this.Your capitalist is notoriously timid and thoroughly selfish.The work- Ingman has his faults, of course.and he is himself the greatest sufferer from them; but in generosity he is miles ahead of any capitalist that ever lived.\u201d \u201cThen you are determined to fight, Marsten.\u201d \u201cOh, no, Not if you give in.\u201d \u201cHow often shall we have to give in?\u201d Until such time as the compensation given to the workers is at least equal to the amount taken out by the so-called proprietors of the business.\u201d \u201cAh, that is Utopian, which is simply another word for nonsense.Now, why not be perfectly frank and say you are resolved to fight us?\u201d \u201cMy position is this Mr, Sartwell: 1 don\u2019t want to fight for fight's sake, and 1 have no revengeïul desire to humiliate you or to defeat the firm for the mere glory ci victéry: but T sm convinced the men wii not get the fair share of what thev make until there is a fight and a decisive victory.A few years ago the very right to combine was Utopian and nonsensical 1m the mind of the capitalist, vet that right ix one of the undisputed facts of to-day.The capitalist won't concede anything until he is forced to do so.Therefore, there must be a struggle, and 1 am bound to choose my own time and my own battle ground.We are ready to fight now, we are going to fight, and I believe we are go ing to win.\u201d \u201cFxactly.That is what T wanted to know.As to winning, we shall see.1 quite agree with you that there is nothing so satisfactory in the long run as a square, stand-up fight.and let the best man win.The combatants have a mutual respect foi each other atterwards.The trouble _15 that the contest is rarely free from the side issues that affect the final result.In ting case you are not sure of your backers, nei be ee T were the owner of this establizh- ment.I would bring on the war instantly, carry it through with the relentlessness of a Rarbary pirate, win it, of course, and have the most contented men in England in mv employ ever after, As it 15, the trouble is not going to be decided by either vour gencralship or mine, but bv the relative constancy of our backers.Tf the men

either way.and will not be decided on the meri's of the case at all.It 1s a toss-up, and, it f we were scnsible men, we two would | ettle it now by twirling a penny In the l air: besides, if you do

prospects for the Liberal party in Champlain are of the brightest description.It is a hard county to win, but the reporis are that it will be won, and won handsomely.It has been so strongly Conservative that only the overwhelming Liberal wave which is sweeping over the country can explain the indications of victory which are everywhere reported.The Con: servatives relied upon the interference of the clergy, and when that did not come to their help in the way they expected they are said to be quite downhearted.Interference there has been, and use of pulpits against the Liberals, but clerical dictation is like other injurious stimulants-\u2014it must be increased in its doses if it is to have effect, while if reduced in strength its effect is entirely lost.And so it is that although Bishop Lafleche has in his last circular letter gone as far as a bishop should ever go under whatever circumstances, and the cures have conducted a vigorous pri- vale canvass, the people feel, by contrast with the last election, almost as though they were being left perfectly free to do as they choose.Being left to their own inclinations they will to-morrow elect a supporter of Mr.Laurier and his policy of conciliation and mutual good-will, THE BOOM IN MINES.We publish to-day a second article on the subject of mining investments.In it we endeavor to deal with the claims made, through the medium of advertisements, on behalf of properties whose stock is offer ed for sale.It is our opinion that a number of these representations, whether true ov false, have little or no direct bearing upon the real merits of the properties.They are in many instances set before the public in lieu of other und more important facts by which a sound judgment upon the merits of the propositions might better be made.They do not amount to actual mis-statements, but they do convey a false impression concerning the status of the mines referred to, by giving undue prominence to minor details, while, at the same time, neglecting to furnish those assurances which are the first essentials in the consideration of a mining investment.We believe that by this means the public are often misled, not being able to discriminate between what is essential and what is not, and thus being induced to invest their money on the basis of assertions which have little or no real weight.We also publish elsewhere a number of interviews with gentlemen connected with the mining business in this city, on the subject of our article of yesterday, in which approval ®is generally expressed of the course we have taken.These gentle: men, it may be frankly said, do not in any degree represent the class of mine promoters whom we desire to criticize and condemn.It is pleasant to know, that they are in accord with the views expressed ycs- terday, and believe that in the end the expose will result in benefit to legitimate mining.Yet, we do not wish to be understood as sceking the approbation of the mining frafernity.It may be that before we are done with the subject we will meet with criticism from these gentlemen, us well ag from others, on the ground that we are checking investment and needlessly retarding the development of the country.This consideration will have no effeet upon our course.\u2018Whatever influences are ot- fended, whatever interests are affected, our object will still be to prevent the spread of illegitimate mining speculation in Montreal, to defeat the schemes of irresponsible boonsters, and so to assist in the genuine and permanent development of the country\u2019s mineral wealth.THE FLOATING DEBT.Mr.Hall, in his budget speech, May 20, 1892 (page 1S), estimates the floating debt où 1st July, 1892, as follows :\u2014 Cash deficiency.tienen.$1,411,808 Temporary loans.152,000 Railway guarantee deposits., 1,741,807 Llailway money subsidies .2,623,293 Railway land subsidies converted into money .Diito, which may be 165,205

which a!l parties arc responsible.Deduct this and it leaves the Mercier Government responsible for $!,502,907.Of this amount the following items are the common property of both parties :\u2014 New Parliament buildings.$735,463 New Court House, Quebec.673.139 Montreal Court House .21,324 Royal commission, Q.M.& O.Railway .teen.12.000 Payment to Jesuita .40,0 0 Totad.«cv

$13,000,000 increase come in ?cnunt 1596, it was on 30th June lust, §31,211- 282.According, therefore, to the official figures the Mercier Administration increas- od the debt by $7.054,860, while the F:ynn Government increased it $5,001,409.Mr.Flynn boasts frequentiv of having reduced the debt by 52,000,000.What is there in his boast ?Ou reference to 37 Vie, cap.J, schedule A., being the re- pert of the Commissioner of 1ublic Werks for 1893, the amount of lapsed subsidies exclusive of the aecond 25 cords of the lapsed subsidies is shown to be $2,- 018,709.\u2018This is how Mr.Flynn has reduced the debt.But as these subs'dies were included in the amount of ind bt~d- ness placed against the Mercier Administration, that indebtedness must also be reduced in all fairness by the 82.018.700.if the Flynn Government is to take credit from them.In fact this reduction of liabilities for which Mr.Flynn takes credit is due solely to lapse of time.Good management had nothing to do with the reduction.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014e.rn MICHAEL HENNIGAN.Michael ]Tennigan yesterday met the death of a hero.He took his life in his hands, in a desperate effort to save his comrades, and the pity of itis that the noble sacrifice was in vain.And yet not in vain, for he has given another example of manly courage-another proof that with the Occasion often comes the Man.Mich ael Hennigan might, in the ordinary course of nature, have gone to his grave without the world suspecting that the heart of a hero beat within him.But that plunge into the darkness where his comrades lay, revealed him in the full stature of a Man.He did not die in vain.WHAT HAVH THEY DONE?It is of no consequence to us now what the Mercier Government did.The ques- ticn calling for answer is, What has the T'aillon-Nantel-Flynn combination contributed to economy reform ?Have they reduced the Province\u2019s annual outgo ?The ordinary expenditure exclusive of special expenditure ran in: 1891 last Mercier

This comparison is made up of similar items, « In 1891 there was a special expenditure of $830,000, and in 1892, the amount was $551,000\u2014in addition to the ordinary expenditure.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.When the Liberals came into power there were ten Liberals exclusive of Hon.Mr.McClelan (now Lieut.-Governor of New Brunswick), in the Senate \u2018out of 81 members.There are now seventeen.There are two Independents and one Conservative, who will probably vote on most issues with the Administration, making twenty in all.The ten Liberals in the Senate at the time of the general election were Hon.R.W.Scott, Speaker Pelletier, and Messrs.Dever, TLewin, O\u2019Donohoe.Power, Reesor, J.KR.Thibaudeau, Me- Innis, (B.C.), and Wark.The seven Liberals since appointed are Sir Oliver 4 Mowat and Messrs.Bechard, Cox, King, Lovitt, Mills, and A.A.Thibaudeau.The two Independents are Messrs.Snowball (N.B.), and Sutherland (Manitoba).Besides these, Mr.Boulton, a Conservative, supports tariff reduction.The Administration, therefore, must depend upon Conservative support or abstinence from voting to carry its legislation through the Senate.: \u201cThe Montreal Herald says: \u2014° What the people of Quebec want is efficiency in the public service irrespective of comparisons with previous Governments.\u201d Well, this is exactly what they have got.And they have more too, They have the efficiency that can compare with previous Governments.But it is just these comparisons that The Herald and its friends don\u2019t want at all, the reason for which is so plain that it is understood by everybody.\u201d\u2014The Quebec Chronicle, Now, now, the Chronicle has not been reading The Herald very closely\u2014and it may be an excusable negligence.But if it bad read, perhaps any other issue than the one from which it took the above extract, it would have seen that we have not shrunk from making comparisons.We have made them not because we justify all the expenditures of the Mercier regime, bnt to sLow that the Flynn Government is no itnprovement upon it.The Chronicle will, in fact, find some of these comparisons in an adjoining column at this very minute.The Orange Sentinel, speaking of the Speech from the Throne, says: \u201cThe references to the settlement of the Manitoba School Question were temperate, dignified, and such as will meet with general approval from those who want to see Gan- ada governed by Canadian statesmen and not by Roman Catholic Bishops.If Hon.Mr.Laurier sticks to the position he holds at present he will have the goodwill of Ontario on this question.\u201d And assuredly he has the good-will of Quebec.\u201cCanadian,\u201d writing to the Toronto Mail and Empire, says that \u201cthe proper way to secure a fast Atlantic service is for the Government to allow a liberal amount cach week for the carriage of the\u20acnails, and let the fastest boat of any line leaving the port each week take the mails.\u201d But what if the fastest boat of one line proves slower than the slowest boat of another lire?The East and the West of the Province having declared in favor of the school settlement, symmetry requires that the centre should wheel into line.Watch Champlain to-morrow.°° The boomster who boometh boomily in Toronto, should be allowed to confine his operations to

in Chinese Waters, to be Strengthened.Washington, April, 6\u2014The Office of Naval Intelligence has received from the ; American naval attache at London full: details of the new ship building plan of the British navy, recently agreed to by | the Admiralty Office.The amount of | money involved in the programme is Upward of $2,000,000 greater than the estimates in any previous year, and shows a purpose on the part ot Great Britain to continue the work of increasing her navy! and preparing for an emergency.The : plan indicates that there is little dispo-, sition to hold ships in reserve, and that \u2018 as fast as ready for service they will be! commissioned and assigned to squadrons.| It is further stated that, in view of the recent action of the powers in greatly strengthening their fleets in foreign waters the Admiralty will augment its squadrons in the Mediterranean, on the Chi nese station, and in the Channel waters.The importance of the Chinese station has become strikingly apparent, and has called for \u2018higher ranking officers on the ships and a Rear Admiral always in charge.Four first-class battleships are shortly to join the fleets near Greece, and three others are to be assigned to the Channel fleet.Two powerful ships are to he sent ont to Asia, and half a dozen more will replace smaller vessels on the North American and West Indian station.The amount nf money that England will spend this year in increasing and supporting her naval establishment is slightly more that $115,000,000.NEW SHIPS BUILDING.Great Britain proposes to lay down in the next few months four first-class battleships of about 14,80Q tons, three , third class cruisers, two sloops of war, four twin-screw gunboats, and two torpedo boat destroyers.Besides this increse to the establishment, the Queen is to have an elaborate yacht which will probably take the place of the Victoria and Albert, the old side-wheeler used by royalty for years.The new yacht is to be laid down at Pembroke, and will be the most sumptuous vessel of its kind afloat.Plans have al ready been completed, and it is expected that the keel of the snmp will be in place by the late spring.Of the foregoing vessels, three battleships, the three cruisers, and the two sloops will be built in the Government dock yards; the remaining battleship, the four gunboats, and the two torpedo boat destroyers will Le built by contract.The propelling machi nery and boilers for all the vessels except the two cruisers and one of the sloops will be ordered from private firms.The battleships Canopus, Goliath, and \u2018Ocean are now on slips which are to be occupied by the three new Government-built ves sels, and as scon as they take the water, in a few months, the construction of the latter will be begun.The present programme of Great Britain for theb wilding or war vessels is one of the largest cver undertaken, and comprises more classes of ships than ever before.During this year and the early months of next year she ivill have completed or have in @burse of construction fourteen first-class battleships, cight first.class cruisers, nine second-class cruisers, ten third-class cruisers, two sloeps of war, four twin-screw gunboats, fifty-two torpedo boat destroyers, eight light draft) steamers for special service, and one royal yacht.Thus the total number of vessels of all classes under construction during the year will reach the enormous aggregate of 108.Their agregate displacement will be bout 380,000 tons, and the aggregate indicated horse power 800,000.It is nticipated that during the next financial year sixty-six of these vessels will be completed for service, including fifty torpedo boat destroyers.In the.last month a large number of British ships have been armed with quick-firing guns to replace guns either obsolete or inferior to the new designs.THE MEN REQUIRED.To man her.warships Great Britain last year made appropriations for 93,750 men, including otlicers, seamen, boys, coast guards, and royal marines, or an increase over the previous year of 4,900.The actual number borne on the rolls last January, when a census was taken, shows 92, 322 of all classes.While the numbers of wen coming forward for most of the ratings have been most satisfactory, some difliculty has been experienced in obtaining the necessary number of engine room artificers and artisans owing to the general revival of the shipbuilding trade.The Admiralty, owing to the vast increase in the number of available fighting ships in the next year or two, has asked that the total number of man be advanced to 100,058, and this number will probably be allowed.The proposed additions are distributed among all branches, and include 12 officers, 240 seamen, 265 engine room artificers, 2,000 stokers, 1,000 marines, and 514 artisans, : It is noted, the renorts say, that as the navy grows there is greater neces-ity for erlargmg the engine-room force.The xpension of the flcets has called for further additions to various chisses of officers.I'orty more medical men will te added, thirty accounting officers or payma-ters and ten chaplains aud naval instruc- tora.Besides these there will be a large increase in the line force.Great Britain hag recently made new arrangements as regards the traning of naval cadets which will 20 into 10rce this year.It has been decided to gradually raise the entiance age for cadets by one year and to shorten their/ course of instruction in the training shirs to about sixteen months.The examivations où all candidates for appointments are therefore to be greatly modified to meet the rew requirements.Under the new sy- tem about 190 cadets will be passed through the Britanuda yearly instead of mn le tl A EEE n-.- been found wanting in executive officers, owing to the severe duties imposed by the new vessels and the large increase of the establishment.One hundred more oflirers of this rank will be provided.NEW COMMISSIONS.Tn continuance of the policy of cominis- sioning the new ships as soon as they are ready for service, the following further changes will be made the coming ygar :\u2014 Another first-class battle-ship of the Majestic class will be added to the Channel Squadron, and four battleships of the same class will replace in the Channel Squadron others of the Royal Sovercign class, which in turn will be sent as reliefs to the Mediterranean.The battie-ships so relieved will take the place of the older ships in the naval ports at home.Under the programme for the improvement cf foreign naval stations Bermuda comes in for a large share of money.Extensive dredging :s to be done, ra that the heaviest draught battle-ships may secure safe anchorages at all seasons.Money is also provided for surveys for big docks at Jamaica and Bermuda.Three immense dry decks are to be tuilt at Gibraltar, one to be 850 feet in length, another 550, and a third 450.There is also to be a new dock at Hong-Kong.NOTES FROM

reviving the ecclesiastical fashion of miter-wearing, having appeared lately at a confirmation service in both miter and cope.The miter is a pi-tuvesque headdress which has always heen the acc pie d symbol of episeopal offes and since the reformation Engli-h b'shops have retained it on thrcir note paper.their plate and the pancls of their cirriages, though not on their heads.By some Dr.Crdighton\u2019s .revival is approved and it is suggested that a procession of prelates in cope and miter would form an effective feature of the diamond jubilee procession.Many of the spring toilets worn by London\u2019s fashionable women are described as most remarkable both in form and color.An orange silk and black chiffon tea jacket was worn last week at the private view of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colors and among the hats which appeared on the same occasion were a scarlet straw toque trimmed with violets and a mam- math mauve siraw weighed down with red roses, One lady wore a gown of royal purple, branched with gold.Mrs.Lang- try's unfailing taste in dress asserted itself in a costume of fawn and black and a hat adorned with pink roses of a lovely shade, Mrs.Bernard Beere was picturesque in 11:ck satin, with touches of pale blue, a high black hat and a sable mantle.FOR SUNDAY CARS.The Feeling Seems to be Growing More in Their Favor in Toronto.Toronto, April 5\u2014(Special.)\u2014The City Council wa& engaged this afteirnoon in arranging a date for the ivote on Sunday cars.The Mayor and most of the aldermen are anxious to submit the question to the people at once, and alth.ugh a email minority would like the vote held over till the very hot weather sets in and people will feel the need of cars more, it is probable the wishes of Mayor Fleming will carry, a bylaw is to be subm.tted fixing the date for May 14.The advocates of Sunday cars are pleased that a new registration will be taken, as\u2019 this will let in eome thousands of young men, who are expected to lavor Sunday cars.The first sermcn against Sunday cars wes preached yesterday by Rev.Mr.Obery, Methodist clergyman, but there is no general movement to oppo-e them yet.The Lord's Day Alliance will vndoubtedlv do so, but the clergye will not take so active a part against Sunday cars as they have in the past.The reason for this is that in recent years the population has moved north and west, and many of the wealthy down town churches, notably, St.Andrews, Preshyterian, the Metropolitan, Methodist and St.James Cathedral, Anglican, find great difficuity in keeping up the attendance owing to the inconvenience people have in reaching them.On this account former members cf these congregations have jrined other churches, and the membws who remain and who are financ'a'ly re-porsible wou'd be glad to see Sunday cars if they would keep the congregation together.A strong support is also expected from the business community, gencrally under the belief that the cars would lead to some revival in trade.Spanish grandees whn take to the stage mav not play under their own names.Une of them recently applied to the authorities for permission to disnlay all his titlea on the bills, but a decree has been issued making this illegal.England, on the contray.has no such law.and there would be nothing to prevent the display of a long list of titles and the alluring addition of a resplendent coat-of-arms, except the protests of the would-be actors friends, who would no doubt set up a frantic clamor against such a move.; It is estimated that there are now in T.ondon and the provinces over 1,000 men and women engaged in the daily perfor mance of opera or musical comedy: the majority of these attained such knowledge as they have of the praetical work and details\u201d of the stage by actual experience and not by any previvus technical educa- Duped.His Wife Made a Verbal Agreement, but Her Evidence Was Not Admitted.Editor of The Herald : Sir,\u2014The extraordinary position that à wife, acting as her husband's agent, lu competent to bind him in a transaction, i yet is not competent to be heard as a wit- | ness in rebuttal of the other contracting party's evidence as to what took place (no ; Writing baving passed, and no third per- :son having been present) is affirmed in the following little sample of Canadian law, or judicial misconstruction of same\u2014 i 1 do not know which, In giving the details 'T have no axe to grind, as, though myself the victim, the thing is done with, the money paid, and there is no appeal.Indeed, the matter would be out of my mind but for the instance it furnishes of what others (perhaps less able to bear it) have or may have to put up with; and the reflection born of experience that while many sutfer few protest, and thus bad laws\u2014 and worse interpretations\u2014are perpetuated.What between laws that want alter ing, laws that are altered (at will) My those who administer them, and the tameness with which a suffering public submits without protest to such vagaries, there 1s little hope of speedy reform.To say nothing of the absurdity and injustice of a custom constraining people, the conditions of whose lives and work are ; uncertain and migratory, to engage a house for a year on end, there is a very natural idea abroad that to bind a tenant for that period, a written lease is neces sary.Nothing of the kind, apparently.lf the landlord is prepared to swear that the tenant engaged verbally to take the house or tenement to the ena of the leasing year, and a cousin, a sister or an aunt will, though not present at the taking of the house, state that at a prior interview \u201ctill May\u201d was mentioned, then the tenant will stand committed till May, just as though a lease had passed.In addition to this, if the tenant\u2019s wife happens to have conducted the transaction for him, he will be denied the benefit of her evidence, though bound by her (alleged) action.But to particularize :\u2014 Expecting to leave the city, but uncer tain just when, I sold my house so as not to be tied, and sought a house on short or optional tenure.This was in the early fall, and two houses offered, at equal rent, one commodious, suitable and newly-done up, but lease required; the other small, dilapidated and otherwise unsuitable, but offered without lease for just so long or short as the tenant might require, the landlord\u2019s pull in any case being that, how: ever short the tenancy, his place would be put in order, and made habitable, which it then was not.On this solitary inducement of remaining untied, we took the house in other respects least suitable, Now, mark.My wife took the house\u2014 in my name, of course\u2014though no writing of any kind passed, and the landlord wha let her the place for as long or as short as we liked, \u201cif only a month,\u201d repealed those words to me a few days subsequently when we \u2018met.Thus, when, later on, he claimed to hold us till May, and demand: ed a higher rent than he had originally agreed after that date, I thought I had two witnesses, myself and wife, to prove what the agreement had actually been.However, havihg given notice that we would be out by the end of February, met no protest or objection, and acocrdingly got out, we were informed on my wife's delivering the key and paying the rent to date, that rent till May would be claimed.Of course I let him claim, feeling secure in the justice of my position.Judge of my surprise, and that of my advocate, when we got into court, to hear the judge decide that my wife\u2019s evidence eould not be accepted, though he heard the landlord at length, and also the latter\u2019s sister as to a prior interview; that he assumed my wife as my agent had committed me till May, and he therefore found for the landlord for the full amount.Now, Mr.Editor, I nave no further personal interest in this matter, as I should certainly never be bitten by the same dog again; and I am not going to throw hard and his sister.I content myself with saying that my wife went into court prepared to swear that she had not taken the house till May, and that she had taken it distinctly and unmistakably on the terms suit us; yet she was not permitted to enter the box.Had the court, in ruling that she could not be heard for her husband, tion) in the transaction could not bind him, then some consistency would have been manifested, but\u2014\u2014! My writing this will not have been quite in vain if it should serve to warn others when making agreements for less than a year to have it in writing, however short the tenancy proposed; but if it should also wake any considerable number of peoples up to a sense of the unsatisfactory state of the landlord and tenant law, and the looseness with which \u201cjustice\u201d is dealt out in our courts, so much the better.Yours, ectc., ONCE BIT.SOME LATE NEW THINGS.A new device for use in the sick room consists of a spoon having a dial in the handle, with the hours and half-hours marked on it and an arrow revolved by a knob, to indicate the time for each dose of medicine.For the purpose of preventing scarfpins {rom coming out a handy new device is composed of a small piece of wire coiled into a spring and attached by a chain or cord to the tie, the pin being pressed into the end of the coil.One of the moge handy wrapners for use in doing up newspapers and the like has a plurality of slots placed in a straight line across the outside thickness of the paper, so that when it is grasped in both hands and given a slight twist crosswise it breaks along this line.For the prevention of stealing ligiuds from barrels by attendants in a store a new faucet has an automatic measuring, regis tering and recording devise which will show the amount drawn from the barrel, the mechanism being locked in a metal case to prevent tampering with it.A recently designed trolley-line repair wagon has a folding frame work to which the platform is hinged, the front and back portions of the standard being drawn ! together by a screw to raise or lower the ' platform as desired, the whole resting on an auxiliary truck when not in use.A good deal of agitation is going on just at present in Belgium regarding the relative importance of the French and Flemish languages.One Sunday recently saw 20,000 people assembled to urge the equality of the two languages, and later in the day a Flemish theatre was crowded by a similar body gathered for the same purpose.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.The Society for the Protection of Women and Children gratefully \u2018ackuowledges the following subscriptions : Mayor R.Wilson- { Smirh, $5.Dr.Howe, $3: T.Rerthianme 15 Munderioh & do.$5; C.Lacaillr & Co.>; er 2, $#; Watso Cony $200 + i Foster EXCITED Over the Public Tests of [unyon\u2019s Marvellous Remedies.A MULTITUDE Crowded the Munyon Offices Yesterday to See The KIDNEY CURE Put on Trial\u2014Scores of Patients Were Present and Ready for the Test\u2014Some Learned for the First Time of Their Serious Condition \u2014Bright\u2019s Disease Had a Hold on Others, but the Kidney Cure Was at Once Set at Work and Cure Will Come.TO-DAY THE FREE TEST CONTINUES.REMEMBER-KIDXEY REMEDY FREE.EXAMINATION AND ADYICE FREE.There is no abatement of interest in Mun- von's public tests of his marvellous remedies.All day yesterday the spacious offices, reception-rooms, and consultation- rooms were crowded with people wearing anxious faces, and with a due sense of the serious nature of their mission.Kidney trouble is not to be trifled with, and the man or woman who neglects it iy more than likely to have a full-fiedzed case of Bright's disease on their hands before they know it THE RECEPTION OF THOSE WHO SEASE.AMINATION IS FREE!

Miss Elizabeth Rodgers Beach is due the honor of rousing the interest of the American nation in this great work.As a result of her efforts the American McAll Association was organized March 29, 1883 at Phila- delpliia, and last year 837.690 was sent to France to help on the good work.A cordial vote of thanks svas tendered Mrs.Graham for her most interesting paper.After remarks had been made by

sub-committee of the Jubilee Memorial Committee was held iu the City all yesterday afternoon.A report was submitted, and after some dis cussion adopted, recommending that the piece of land bounded by St.Dominique street on the west, Market street on the north, Dorchester street on the south, and (Cadieux street on the east, should be ex- | propriated and converted into a public\u2019 square or ornamental garden.It was cs- timated that this scheme would cost $100,- .000.It also recommended that the scheme ! for the establishment of an order of nurses | for outlving districts of the country was practicable and worthy of support, al- | though practical details had not been furnished.The establishment of a permanent ! fund in aid of the various hospitals of the i city, naming particularly the General, | Royal Victoria, Notre Dame and Western, was considered as immediately practicable.This should be on lines similar to the scheme recently organized in London under the patronage of the Prince of \\Wales.MEMORIAL COMMITTEE.The full Jubilee Memorial Committee met after the meeting of the sub-commit- tee yesterday afternoon, to hear a report from the sub-committee as given in ihe report of that meeting, and to draft a report for the General Committee.Mr.(ieorge Hague presided, and among others present were :\u2014His Worship Mayor Wil son-Smith, Charles Chaput, Charles P.He bert, Mr.H, Stikeman, Mr.F.Wolierstar Thomas, Sir William Hingston, Dr.Craik, Chief Justice Lacoste, J.X.Perrault.and J.R.Dougall.A scheme was also presented in comnce- tion with the sub-committee report in favor of the erection of a viceregal residence.This, however, did net meet with the approbation of many of the members of the committee, although vigorously supported by His Worship and Mr.George Hague.Mr.Thomas objected to the proposal, and Mr.J.R.Dougall, in the course of a lengthy address, expressed his disapproval of the scheme of a viceregal residence.In answer to a question, Mr.Hague said that personally he was inclined to favor the scheme.Mr.Charles P.Hebert thought that the hospital scheme would be certainly the most popular.If they tried to raise 3100, 000 or so for a viceregal residence, there was a possibility of failure, whereas by the hospital scheme, supposing only a small amount was collected, it could be used zs the nucleus of a fund which would continually grow and the interest in which would be kept alive.Mr.Stikeman said benevolence should be the keynote of any scheme they might adopt.They should try and help poor people who had been unfortunate and through sickness or from other eauses were unable to help themselves.Mr.Charles Chaput referred to some of the previous speakers being interested in hospitals.He was not, and could speak independently.He strongly favored the viceregal residence scheme, The Mayor in a vigorous speech supported the suggestion of a viceregal residence.Benevolence was the object of the memorial.He had nothing to say against the hospitals, but he believed the greatest benevolence of all to be the giving of work to the unemployed.Here was a means cf giving work to many, including cabmen and dressmakers, and for these and other reasons the viceregal residence scheme should meet with support.The suggestion that Montreal could not raise the money was all trash.The city was well able to support a viceregal residence.Despite any talk that might be heard, he hoped the day would never come when there would be no need for one in this country.This scheme, in his opinion, would not take anything from the hospitals or any other scheme.Supposing they raised a small hospital fund ?Would it be a credit to Montrea|?Many citizens did what they could now annually to support the hospitals, and this should be continued.They wanted some permanent memorial of this Jubilee year that could be looked back upon, something substantial.He hoped this suggestion would be submitted to a mecting of citizens to consider.Further discussion was joined in, among others by Sir William Hingston, Mr.Cha- put and Mr.Hebert, and finally it was decided to recommend the adoption of the schemes named in the reports for the establishment of a hospital fund, the Hotel Dieu being added to the list of those that should share in it.It was also decided that the part referring to the Victorian Order of Nurses be adopted, and that the General Committee be asked to appoint another tommittce of citizens to consider question of a viceregal i : meeting then closed.gal residence.The \u2014\u2014\u2014 Prison Treatment of Drunken Women Among men, as is well known, dri [ rin leads to crime.Among women, however rink itself is the main crime.Not mun more than ten per cent.of the female prison population is accounced for by ot tences against the person or the property of others, the prisons being filled to repletion with chronic female drunkards who are slaves to the vice, and are no sooner discharged from one short sentence than they return again as drunk as ever: and it becomes a very serious question indeed whether prisons are being put to their proper purpose when they are thus used as more or less permanent homes for chronic drunkards.Dr.Pitcairn, assistant surgeon to Holloway Prison, in a paper recently read by him on the prison treatment of inebriates, said that he could noi remember to have met with more than ten or a duzen male drunkards whose convictions exceeded, or even reached, a score, but that ihe records of the police courts conclusively showed that \u201conce a drunkard always a drunkard\u201d was almost an axiom in the case of females.The worst of it 1s thas ¢committal to prison soon ceas:s to have any terrors for these women, or zo bare an et- fect whatever in checx'ag their downward carcer.À prison should az least be à j'ace to dread; but in reality the brisouer finds herself treated with kinduess, is Warmiy clad, fed amply, if plainly, works to a considerably less degree than when at 1b.ertv.and sleens amid znol and sufh-ient bedding in a warmed and ventilated chsm.ber.What 1s there deterrent 1n this, when a woman once has fallen so as not to feel ashamed * The matter is greatly aggravai- ed by the fact that so many of these women are actually ill in consequence of their drinking habits when arrested, and thus they are perforce treated as invalids throughout their entire sentence of \u201chard labor.\u201d The prison thus becomes a hospital for drunkards supported at the public expense.Nothing could be more calculated to bring the law into contempt than such a use of our prison svstem.Much that has been said about the necessity of legislation for inebriates has been founded upon the terrible social evils which acenm- pany the unpunished drunkenness of men: but an equally gond case could be founded on the fact that the punishment of drunken women is turning our prisons into mere drink hospitals.and destroving the deter r nt influence of imprisonment.\u2014The Hospital.Mrs.Frank Redpath.Ontario Arenue, gave a charming aml instructffo entertainment on Saturday afteruoon to à numher of her very young friinds.A short ant friendly talk was prepared and given to the little ones on \u2018Cllld life in Japan.\u201d and some of the beautiful magic lantern slides belonging to Mré.Ames were shown, and much appreciated LY the

Track\u2014Local and General Sporting News.The Jondon Field continues its comments on the admission of foreign crews to the Henley-on-Thames regatta.In its edition of March 20 it says: \u201cInternational Boat Racing at Henley\u2014 The Manitoba Free Press of February 26, states that the Winipeg crew which propose to compete at Henley have reccived an offer from a member of a firm of dis tillers to entertain them while :t the pbove town; but we are also informed, on authority which we have no reason to doubt, that, so far from this offer being spontaneous, it was suggested fron the other side.This looks very much like advertisement No.2, apart from being of an eleemosynary nature, so far as the crew is concerned.\u201clt appears to us that the fact of getting up a putlic subscription to sand men from Manitoba to England 1s of itself elone sufficient to disqualify the crew, even if the latter did not contain mechanics, lumbermen, or what not.Jt is np very different thing when the expenses of a crew are paid by that crew\u2019s own club; but to open a public subseription- es for sufferers from famine or plague\u2014is surely a horse of quite another color, and of itself an absolute disablement.\u201cA correspondent in British North America informs us that there are plenty of genuine amateurs in Canada, and good sportsmen in the English sense of the word, and that, were a crew composed of such men to go over to Henley, no one would be more glad than he to see them successful, but that this affair is quite another thing altogether.He says: \u2018You are opening the door and letting doubtful competitors in, as far as | can sec, partly fromm the sporting instinet of giving an opponent every chance, even a bit more than you will be willing to accept yourselves, and partly, perhaps, from a slight touch of Imperial Federation emotion; but you do not realize the kind of pack who are awaiting to crowd iu.This crew, were they an English and not a Colonial crew, would certainly not be allowed to row at Henley.Would a club which was represented, as was the Winnipeg Rowing Club, by a professional mechanic, (in the Saratoga regatta, where C.J.was rowing in the present crew) be lloyd to become affiliated to the A.R.\u201cThe Manitoba Free Press, in its wrath at the expose, observes that \u2018not the least satisfactory feature which attaches itself to the princely offer of hospitality to tha Winnipeg oarsmen is the well-deserved rebuke which its very expression bestows upon the Field\u2014a journal that at one time stood high in the esteem of sportsmen the world over, but which latterly hus shown signs of decadence and that peevish fault-finding invariably associated with senility.Its strictures on the Winnipeg crew, in which it aliows itself, through the Little England spirit, prejudice or ignorance, or a combination of ell three, to describe them as \u2018foreigners,\u2019 could not possibly have a better answer than the distillers\u2019 recognition of their etatus as British amateur sportsmen, though residents of a distant portion of the Empire\u2019 We have made a careful eearch, but are quite unable to find the word \u2018foreigners\u2019 used in any remarks which we have felt it incumbent on us to offer in this matter.\u201cMeanwhile the Times of Wednesday last, March 17, contains the following Teuter\u2019s telegram, dated Winnipeg, March 5: .\u201c \u2018Owing to statements in the English Sporting newspapers that the members of the Winnipeg crew are unable to conform to the rules of Henley Regatta, the crew will not visit England unless directly invited by the Henley Committee.\u2019 \u201cWe have not forgotten that the St.John, N.B., crew, which competed at the Paris regatta of 1867, as amateurs, and subsequently rowed Renforth\u2019s crew for money, when he collapsed in the race and died, were lumbermen.\u201d CAPTAIN GALTS DEFENCE, Winnipeg.Man., April 5\u2014G.F.Galt captain of the Winnipeg Rowing Club, has written to the editor of the London Field replving to that journal's strictures on the cinb\u2019s four-oared crew.in connection witb their entry for the Stewards\u2019 Cup event at Henlev.In his letter Mr.Galt says: \u201cThe state ment that a member of our crew worked in 2 lumber camp must be inspired by some ene who.from unworthy motives, wishes to prejudice our men in tne cyes of the r gatta authorities.It is quite truc Osborne, who rows No.2, did spend a month or six weeks in a lumber camp, but it is a gross misrepresentation to conyey the idea that he is in any sense a lumberman, artisan, or laborer.lt is not uncommon for Noïng men uf good family iu Canada to obtain situations for limited periods in lumber camps either for the benefit of a complete change, or it may be merely for the novelty of roughing it in the woods Mr.Osborne informs me that some years ago he wus not in good health.and was advised by his physician to try this ex periment.Although h: was employed as inspector, he probably did a certain amount of manual labor, but surely it is absurd to recall such an incident, and endeavor there by to convey the impression that this young man is in any sense & lumberman or a laborer.\u201cIt is quite true a subscription list has been opened for the purpose of defraying the expenses of onr crew, but I do not think this fact has any bearing où the case; nor should it in any way effect the amateur standing of our representatives, Young; men employed in othces cannot afford to travel thousands of miles at their own expamse, and no crew from Canada is Likely to undertake the trip unless some financiai assistance is given.\u201cShould our men go to Henley they will do so entirely from a love of true amateur sport: they have no other object, and if the slightest intimation is given by the proper authorities that their presence at the regatta 18 not desired, or if they thought for a moment that a hearty welcome by their brother oarsmen did not await them in England they would at once give up all idea of taking any part in the regatta.\u201d ROGERS AND GAUDAUR.The Worcester Teelgramn says: Rogers was scen at his home at Lake View last evening, and when shown Gaudaur\u2019s answer said: \u201cI am surprised at the answer, as when Gaudaur and I talked over the probability of my challenging him for the championship sooner or later he said te wanted to row the race on Lake Quinsi- gamond.In asking him to row at Wor cester I only complied with his wish, and realizing that $300 a side was not a large enough stake for a champion to row for I offered $100 for expenses, which would make his possible winnings in reality 2600.Now he says he will not row me at Worcester for less than $1,000 a side, but that the sum of $300 each is large enough if I will go to his backyard at Orillia to row him.He sasy nothing of alowing me expenses.1 have some rights to be considered in making a match as well as he, and will not go to Orillia to race him, for reasons.1 will go to Toronto, which is within 90 miles of Orillia, and make the race for the same terms proposed in Worcester, he to allow me $100 for expenses.Or I will go half way to meet him and row on Silver Lake or any other lake in the central portion of New York under the same conditions, neither giving or taking expenses.In the event of his accepting either of these propositions the date named Ly him, May 24, though very early in the season, will be acceptable to me.Should either of the above propositions meet with his aproval, or should he reconsider his refusal to come to Wor cester on the terms namud, I shall expect him to send articles of agreement to me for my signature, and I will post $100 with the Toronto Globe as a forfeit to bind the match.\u201d Concerning all of which the champion maintains his refusal to go peddling about for a $500 vace.Neither at Toronto nor on any New York State lake, nor at any place but Orillia can Rogers have a race for $500 a side.He tells the Orillia News-Letter that \u201che thinks that in conceding Rogers his own distance aud his own purse he is not unreasonable in asking him to be allowed to name the course.He will allow Rogers $100 for expenses.Of course if any other place is willing to give a purse he would not be unwilling to waive his right to name the course.\u201d The News-Letter says: Orillians, however, intend .donating na purse for the race, so that it is to the interest of the men to row here.lt is intended to hang up %L,000, and one half of this amount has already been raised.Ouvillia can depend on the race for May 24.DORVAL BOATING VULUB.At the annnal meeting of the Dorval Boating Club, S.H.Cass, was elcoted president, and A.J.Grant, secretary.The club\u2019s prospects for this season are particularly bright.TURF AND TRACK.WORK AT THE WOODBINL.Toronto, April 5\u2014-With roses at work on the Woodbine active training for the Untario Jockey Club's meeting neat month may be said to be now well under way.Upwards of fifty horses are quartered in the neighborhood or the track, while half as many more ave located in and around the city receiving their gallops on the toads.The outlook was never so encour- pging for a successful meeting here in point of numbers as well as quality, and the weather too will enable the trainers to pive their charges a cavcful preparation, whereas in other years they have had to rush their horses, so that they never have been able to give as good an account of themselves us will be the case this season.The rain of last night should help the track greatly.It is now in fairly good condition, thanks to Mr.George Briggs, whose efforts the past week have been increasing.The most forward-looking horses now at the Woodbiue are Mr.J.P.Dawes\u2019 lot, which arrive! from Montreal last weck in charge of the veteran cross-country rider, Ben Pope.Though the trainer says they have done but litile work, they are all light in flesh.and look as though they required but little lightening up to send them to the post.lt is to be re- gre'tel that the stable crack, Red Pat, will hardly sport silk at the O.J.C.neet- ing this spring, owing to the accident to his knee at Morris Park last fall.From appearances it would seem that Pope will be very lucky if he gets a clever jumper to the post this season, although a prominent.veterinary surgeon gives it as his opinion that with careful training and time Red Pat will again perform between the flags.The new member of the stable is Defender, a guod-louking brother to Banquet, which Mr.Dawes purchased in New York last fall.Play or Par, who was seen here last fall, will this year trv his luck with the hunters, having been qualified, it is alleged.last fall, while Raval (George, who now looks \u201cft.\u201d will perform \u201cthrough the field\u201d in the open Traces Sleepy Bille hardly looks as weil ar might be.having taken on little

NEGLECT *& CATZ NY S Bar 3 \u201c f lowing report of the operations during the vear: To the officers nd members of the Shamrock Lacrosse Club: Gentlemen,\u2014In conformity with ithe terms of the duties of my office I have the honor to present the following report of the workings of the Club during the term now expired The Executive of the Club held thirtyone (31) regular and special meetings during the vear, and the attendance was as follows: G.A.Carpenter, 30; E.Quinn, 29; T.Wall, 27; M.J.Polan, 26: W.Lunny, 26, M.Doheny, 25; C A.McDonnell, 24; W, H.Kearney, 24; J Penfold, 23; W.Stafford, 22; L.Z.Boudreau, 22; M.Ryan, 22; J.Tumnity, 21; R.J.Cooke, 18.One of the undesirable features of the operations during the season was the frequent changes in the office of captain of the team, no less than three members being called at different intervals to fill that position, Messrs.F.O'Reilly, W.J.MeKenna and M.J.Polan, all of whom were well qualified to discharge their duty.It is, however, a source of danger to have recourse to such proceeding, and the executive and players of the future should endeavor to secure the services of a member of ample leisure.wno, at the opening of the season, would assume the work and carry it on to its close.Turning to the actual work of the team, it is desirable at this juncture, on the eve of another season, to direct your attention to the fact that the players should endeavor to commence their preparations at an earlier stage, and settle down to practical methods.in order to reach a fitness ta resist the strain imposed upon them in the first championship matches.Last vear the team turned out to practice very regularly, but there was a lack of earnestness for a few weeks, and at a later stage the result was very apparent.It is of the utmost importance that cffective and painstaking work should begin with the first, practice.Your committee entered upon the active discharge of its duties determined to add another year to the championship record, but, unfortunately.circum stances occurred at different intervals which rendered it utterly impossible Lo attain that end.The protest of the vornwall Lacrosse Club in connection with the mates on the Ist of July in Cornwall, and the severity oi the decision rendered by the referee of the lust match with the Capitals, were two sources of difficulty which vour executive did not anticipate.and both of which proved disastrous in r-gard to the accomplishment of its desire to capture the championship trophy.lt is unnecessary to here enter into a regital of the facts in connection with these untoward cir cumstances, or to refer {o the manner in which the League finally dispused of them, as you ave familiar wiih all the details, but it is timely to say that the trial of these cases before the Committee of Management of the league made it quite apparent that there is urgent need for a full revision of the constitution and by-laws of that important governing body.Fifteen matches were played during the season, aud your executive received invitations from many cities in the United States and Canada, which they were unable to accept.Among the number may be mentioned Boston, Pittsburg, King ston, Halifax, N.S,.aud Vancouver, B.C.The Toronto Lacrosse Club defaulted in the last match of the season, and your Executive arranged with the Tecumseh Lacrosse Club for the date fixed with the former.RECORD 1836 CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES.\u2014 Goals\u2014 \u2014Games\u2014- Teams.Wou.Lost.Wou.Lost.June 13\u2014Capitals at Ottawa Wi 1 1 T Sept.19\u2014CapHtals a

warmly greeted.Mr.Ross delivered a neat speech, thanking the members for the kind reception accorded to him.He said he did not come to the meeting in any official capacity.He referred to the efforts of the Tecumsehs to awaken a new interest in the national game in the west, and said that the club had made an application for admission to the Senior League, and ir it was not accepted 1t would simply mean that the Tecumsehs would cease to exist.lle repeated his former statement that he was only present as an old lacrosse player, anxious to behold a strong teams in the lacrosse arena, and

one of the largest in point of attendance ever held heve.About one lundred enthusiasts were present, and, judging by the number of prominent citizens who were on hand, it is evident that a determined effort will be made to bring the senior championship of the world to Cornwall this season.Mr.D.Munroe, the retiring president, in his address, expressed regret that the players had not turned out earlier last season, as it was due to this fact, that the failure to win the championship was largely due.During the latter part of the season, when Cornwall men got into good condition, they defeated both the Capitals aud the Shamrocks.He felt sure that the players were well aware of their mistake last year and that ti would not be repeated.The reports showed the fi nances of the club to Le in a good condition.Mr.Mandyside Black, who has been trea- purer of the club for a number of years, and Mr.Maleolm Macpherson, who haa been seeretary for a couple of seasons, were earch presented with valuable gold rings.accompanied by addresses express ing the club's appreciation of their wer vices.The rings are of solid gold, and very heavy, and have a couple of lacrosses and the initials

C.P.Rand G.T.R.in reference to the transportation of wheels to and from the annual meet on July 1.Meretofore wheels have been carried free, but a fee is now levied on all bicycles on ordinary occasions and the roads have not ye: signified their intention in regard to the coming meet.¥ the request for free (transportation, submitted yesterday by.Mr.Webster, is refused, it will stremgthen the vote in favor of the proposition to be made at the Good Friday meeting in Toronto, to hold provincial or district meets on Juiy 1.The winners of these events to meet on Labor Day in some eentral city.CYCLING NOTES.The question of the hour\u2014Where will the meet go ?The Perth and Portsmouth Clubs have assured Chatham of their support.Kingston wheelmen are said to have a leaning towards Chatham for the C.W.A.meet.Brantford is making up ground at a great rate in the struggle for the Dominion Day plum.The Illinois wheelmen were unsuccessful in their endeavors to have a bicycle baggage bill passed.There will be no troublesome racing question to bother the C.W.A.parliamentarians this year.The scrap for the meet has assumed un- looked-for proportions, and now there is a prospect of a hot time at the C.W.A.convention.The report comes from Minneapolis that Johnnie Johnson has rebelled against riding under Eck\u2019s management again this year, and that he has refused to sign a contract with the Spalding team.The New Jersey Legislature has passed the bicvele baggage bill, which in every essential detail is similar to the Armstrong bill, which is the title of the act now in force in New York Btate.It provides that bicycles shall be carried as personal baggage on all railroads in the State when accompanied by their owners, The gear case craze, which has struck several cities in the States, has not reached Toronto.The advantages of a chain protection of this sort are appreciated by the great majority of the riders, but they do not care to sacrifice the appearance of their wheels in order co insure au easier running mount and a clean chain.Efforts are being made to arrange a se- rics of match races between Coulter, the one-mile unpaced champion: Becker, the five-mile champion; and Hackenberger, the twenty-five-mile chamyion, to be held in Denver the latter part of June.It is pro posed to have one race at one mile, an other at two miles, and a third, if neces sary, at five miles.The Racing Board ot the L.A.W.will be required to go on record for or against Sunday racing within a few days.Chair man Albert Mott has received an applica: tion from H.C.Fourton of New Orleans for a sanction for a race meet to be held at the Crescent City on Sunday, April 11th Mr.Fourton states iin his letter that the Sunday racing element of the Western States know of his action, and intimates that the move is in the nature of a test case.Chairman Mott savs he will an nounce the decision of the board early next | week.The undersigned wants the puhlie and Herald readers to remove his present stock to their homes before the first of May or after, viz., pictures, picture frames fancy goods, books, stationery.wall-paper.baby carriages, express waggons and

Northern.The basis for this talk appears to be in the main surmise, although there is a certain amount of circumstantial evidence available.Rumors lately current to the cffet that President Winter of oNrthern Pacific may be succeeded by Mr.Lamount receive only indirect denial from Mr.Winter, who is not willing to discuss the matter.The old rumors that President Van Home of the aCnadian Pacific is likely to retire soon are again in circulation.\u201d WALL STREET GOSSIP.Interesting Paragraphs From the Big Financial Centre.J.S.Bache & Co.telegraphed their local manager, C.D.Monk, as follows:
