oË Conservative Governments.In 1884 the Government of Sir John A, Macdonald purchased from Nova Scotia the Eastern lxtension Railway, a line of eighty miles in length.On the 30th of June, 1894, that line had cost the Federal Government, exclusive oi rolling stock, $1,324,042, or an average of $16,550 a mile.During the seven years from 1884 to 1899 the operation of the line cost $538,094, and the earnings amounted to $462,465.For the extension from Oxford to New Glasgow, opened to traffic on July 15th, 1890, the Federal Government had expended, on June 30th, 1804, the sum of $1,945,497, an average of $26,834 per mile, nearly double the cost of the Drummond County Railway.The Cape Breton Railway, an extension of the Intercolonial, 984 miles long, cost the Government $3,859,884, or $41,728 per mile, nearly three times the cost of the Drummond County Railway.RECEIVES A MEDAL.Miss Jennie Riley has been given a medal by the urand Body of the Woman's telief Corps, which has been in

Which Was Not Criminal, Jurors make Some Suggestions to the Street Railway in Regard to Open Cars, The Cdroner\u2019s inquest on \u2018the body of Mrs.Isaacson was continued this morning at the Court House.The first witness examined was Authime Gauthier, the conductor, who stated that just prior to the accident he gave a signal to stop his car at the corner of Windsor and St.James Streets; that about 10 passengers boarded the car.He then sounded the bell to start and went on collecting fares in the front of the car.It wis there that he noticed Mr.Isaacson hang- \u2018ing on to one of the handle bars and as he was close to ithe motorman he told him to stop quickly, which was done within à «distance oË about là feet.Meanwhile ; Mrs.Isaacsen jumped off.The motor- \u2018man confirmed this testimony and stated | furbher that when the car started he look- \u2018ed backward and saw nobody on the steps.In the course of his remarks Coroner MeMahon stated that there had been practically two accidents within the short time of about five seconds.He said that the conductor\u2019s responsibility extended to the first one.but as it was not fatal he did mot think any criminal responsibility could be laid upon hm.After deliberat- ling Tor about one hour, the jury rendered ra verdict, stating that the death of Mrs.Isaacson was due to the negligence of the conductor, but that this negligence {could not be considered a crime.The jurors, moreover, recommended the | Montreal Street Railway to build all their open cars with two steps and to give orders to their conductors to take special care of crippled and elderly people and to the motorman to be more careful in starting tlycir cars in order to avoid accidents.HAIL STONES CRUSHED SKULLS.Topeka, Kansas, Looks To-da as if it Kad Been Bombarded\u2014Hail Stones 14 Inches Round.! Topeka, Kansas, June 25\u2014 The worst hailstorm known in the history of Kansas struck this city last night.Hailstones weighing 12 to 16 ounces stripped the trees of their foliage, smashed windows, including the finest plate glass store fronts, teut down telegraph and telephone wires, i riddled awnfings and \u2018infliated unprecedented damage throughout the city.Dogs | were struck in the streets and instantly kilied and horses were knocked to their tkuces.When the fury of the storm had { passed dead birds were found everywhere.i Frequent and terrific lightning accompan- \u2018ied the storm.Topeka looks like a city I that has withstcod an artillerysiege.There i are not a dozen buildings in the town that tare not almost windowless and many roofs | were caved in.The roofs of street cars | also were pierced.| The damage wrought can better be im- | agined, when it is known that the hail- \u2018stones ranged in size from that of a hens cory to that of an ostrich egg and that { thirty minutes after the storm one hail- 'stonz was picked up which measured fourteen dnches in circumference.Surgeons art busy dressing the wounds of persons injured in the storm and reports of inju- rics continue to be received.Many were hurt in runaways and several had their scalps fractured.A NEGRO LYNCHED, This Time the Hanging Was at Jackson, Miss,\u2014Troops Called Out Too tLate.Jackson, Miss., June 25.\u2014A negro named Mosely, who killed farmer John Strong, near Crystal Springs, Miss, a few days ago, and who was arrested at that place i yesterday and confined in jail, was hanged \u2018by a mob there at 9.50 o\u2019clock this morning.The negro had been guarded by one hundred men since yesterday, and two callg for troops from this place had been sent, but owing to the absence of Governor Ms.Laurin and the fact that it was impossible | to establish communication with Lieuten- ant-Governor Jones, who is at his home in Woodville, the troops did not start for the scene until this morning, when the moving \u2018order was received.The troops wee stopped as they were boarding the train, ee MONTREAL DOING WELL.The Victcrian Order Executive Say That Subscriptions for the Fund Are Coming in Well.Ottawa, June 25.\u2014At the last meeting jof the Provisional Committee of the Victorian Order of Nurses it was decided to discontinue the canvassing for subscriptions in the cities until after August.The movement is meeting with gratifying success throughout nearly every part of Canada.Many large subscriptions of one thousand dollars and over have been given.Canadians living in the United States have signified their intention of taking part in it.One thousand dollars has been subscribed by Sir Roderick Cameron.of New York.Collections of emall sums throughout Canada show that thé people are taking the matter up.Over one thousand dollars \u2018have been collected in Vancouver.The committee in charge in Montreal have | Among tue first thit came in was one from the principal of a firm and some fifty employes subser:bing $163.The clergymen of many of the city churches have intimated that they prefer deluving the taking Up of the collections untal the autumn when a larger number of the members of their congregations will be present to particip.te.When the collecting of the funds is taken up in the autumn, after the return of Her Excellency from Great Britain, it is apparent that tae remainder of the money required to start the Order on a good ss wid be sub.cribed readily.Tt is to be remembered that after the gift by the Queen in 1557 of £70,000 to be used in founding the Queen's Jubilee Institute of Nurses, it was nearly four years before the nurses so provided were available for service among the people in Great Britain.It is hoped that the Victortan Order will begin its active work in the most neely places in Canada, within one vear after the time when the movement was first started.This \u2018s possible oniy because Her Excellency and the Canadian Committee will have the results of the experience in Great Britain for their guidance.HIS PHIL ARMOUR CORNERED JULY WHEAT According to Statistics it Certainly Looks ag if He Had.\u2014\u2014\u2014 Prospects are thr Light Receipts of Wheat Until the New Crop Arrives.8 \u2014 New York, June 25.\u2014Philip D.Armour, chief magnate of the Chicago Beef Trust, is credited by operators in the wheat market here with having cornered the July wheat market.There are less than 20,000,000 bushels ot July wheat in the United States visible.Three millions of this is in Minnesota out of the market for grinding.Sixty per cent.of the Chicago supply is held in elevators owned by Armour, or those closely allied with him, and, according to reports, these holdings have been rapidly inrceas- ing.With prospects of light receipts everywhere until the crop begins to move, which will not be until August, many operators are wondering where the 12,000,000 to 20,000,000 bushels of short wheat, alleged to be outstanding, are to come from.VISITOR FROM INDIA ON \"CHANGE.And the Servant in Regulation Costume Attracts the Awtention of Those on the Floor.There was quite a little excitement

Nation river last year commenced at the Hull assizes, Turpin was tried last fall before a magistrate at Papi- neauville, asquitted on the ground that he did the killing in self defence.but there was doubt as to the magistrate's jurisdiction and the accused was re-arrested.Turpin who was cook in the shanty stabbed Deschatlets in a quarrel.The evidence so far is to the effect that Des- chatlets, a bigger and stronger man than Turpin struck the latter without provocation while ifre latter was peeling potatoes and the latter retorted with a blow of the knife he had in \u2018his hand, piercing Deschatlets heart.NEW TELEPHONE ASSOCIATION, Dctroit, Mich., June 25\u2014The advisory board of the new Independent Telephone National Association were in secret session all day yesterday and finished

to Borrow THE SUM OF §15,000,000.The Greater Portion Now Required -For Public Works.More Discussion on the Crow's Nest Pass Dsai-Red Chamber Quiet To-Day.Ottawa, Ont.June 25.\u2014(Special.)\u2014When the Louse of Conunons mel this morning, Chief \\\\ hip Taylor of uhe Opposition diew attention to the fact thav a large proportion of the membens have aiready leit {or thelr homes and received their ses- sional ivdenuuty, conurary to the law.Lhe leaders on both sides concurred \u2018that* it would be preferable to have the law strictly interpreted, and Mr.Speaker gave Lis promise to uphold this understanding.This will have the efiect of keeping the members here till the wind-up of the ses sion, THE LOAN BILL ADOPTED.The loan bill, by which the Government is empowered to float a loun of $15,000,000 to pay the tloating indebtedness of the Dominion, and carry oun the public works authorized by Parhament, was adopued.Mr.Fielding explained thati this loan bill did not give the administration power to spend a single cent.Ît was an appropriation measure.The borrowing powers of Canada, which stood at $51,000,000, when the last loan bill was passed, has fallen to $8,000,000, and for this reason a new bill is needed to cover the temporary loan of $35,000,000 now current.The canal expenditure and other large publie works, amcunting to $7,152,240, and the Crow\u2019s Nest Pass subsidy of $3,630,000 amounting to $15,000,000, exclusive of the raiWay subsidies.lt is not unlikely that this $15,000,000 will be needed within the next two years.Replying to a question by Mr.Foster, the Finance Minister stated this temporary loan was held by the Bank of Montreal with the exception of $400,000 held by the National Provincial Bank of England.CROW\u2019S NEST PASS BILL.The Orow\u2019s Nest Pass Railway bill was taken up in committee and an important point was raised by Mr.Foster that the wording of the resolution might leave matters in such shape that the Government would pay over its subsidy to the C.P.R.without obtaining possession of the coal lands, the latter yet remaining in the position of the British Columbia Southern Railway.As he saw it either the Dominion of Canada or the Canadian Pacific Railway would be put in the hole by this avrangement.Other members on the Opposition side, including Dr.Sproule, 4vho has taken up the cloak of Mr.Dsvin, had their say along the same line, and the talk was kept up till one o'clock.\u201d The Mimster of Railways assured the House that no subsidy would be paid to the C.P.R.until the 50,000 acres of coal lands had bcen conveyed to the Government, and this would be a provision of the contract.IHaving got the better of Mr.Foster, in this argument, the latter tried to cover his retreat by accusing Mr.Blair of sacrificing the interests of the boundary district.At one o'clock the Heouse arose, leaving the section still under consideration.PEACE REIGNED IN THE SENATE.All was peace and harmony in the Senate to-day.Good progress was made with business,and prorogation is looked for,if not to-morrow night, on Monday.Among the bills passed by the Senate to-day was the one giving power to the Government to impose export duties on logs and pulpwood and certain kind of ores.PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION, Articles of Incorporation Filed\u2014 Will be Held in Niagara City in 99.Albany, N.Y., June 25

by a huge downpour of rain that is reported to have done much damage in the farming districts, and considerable in certain portions of the city where the water could run from the streets into cellars.he storm started shortly arter seven and continued with great fury for over an hour.Torked lightning rent the clouds and made the city as bright as day for a moment or two: then peals of thunder followed that caused almost as much consternation in swme quarters as the recent earthquake shocks.1 - .: On sireets where the sewers were in H.Poirer, grocer, 1938 St.Catherine St.;

Fight to a Finish for he Thinks he Would Kill Sullivan.New York, June 25.\u2014\\When questioned by the Journal and Advertiser reporter concerning John L.Sullivan\u2019s challenge, Robert Fitzsimmons sald: \u201cYes, I saw John\u2019s challenge in the Journal, and it really makes me feel merry.Ha, ha, John L.Sullivan\u2014back in the ring again and says he means it.Sometimes I feel sorry for John.Don\u2019 he understand that there is no possible show in the world for him to win a fight with a man like me?Perhaps I should not say that, however, because he is evidently sincere in what he imagines he can do.And then, again, he is over there training with Bill Muldoon, and if any man alive can put him in conditïon to make a fight Mul- doon ig the man.He knows more about physical development and training than ary other man living, and he may be able to do wonders with John.\u201cI will accept the challenge to this extent: \u2014First of all, it is not to be a finish fight, so far as I am concerned.Do you think I want to jeopardize my liberty by hitting John L.Sullivan hard enough to knock him out?He would simply drop dead.To fight p finish fight with Sullivan would simply be committing manslaughter, and I do uot take a famey to it.\u201cI will go further, and give him a dance that no other pugilist has ever had and if it is not the squarest proposition you ever heard, then suggest something else that is, and I will agree to it.{First of all, I wish not to iight him fo ta finish but, better still, he can fight me to a finish, if he can do it, in a four or six round go.I will spar for points and treat hin nicely, while he can fight for a knockout.I will positively agree to led him try just as hard as he can to stop me in that time, and as an additional assurance to John that nothing disastrous will happen to him, I merely intend to keep away from \u2018his smashes and show him that I can hit him at will.\u201d THROWING STONES AT THE BISHOP, I\u2019Avant Garde

Why ?Because, in his speech at the Imperial Institute he said that that day, anniversary of the battie ot Waterloo, recalled the fact that England knew how to provide for her defence ! \u201cFor a stone, that was certainly a stone thrown at the face of one of the greatest bishops of Quebec, Monseigneur Plessis, who had chanted a solemn Te Deum in the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Quebec nn the occasion of that same victory of the English at Waterlpo.\u201cAnd all the Quebecers then illuminated their city to celebrate that victory, Were they base ?\u201d ACCIDENT ON THE SOULANGES CANAL.A Man

Suffering in the intense Darkness.The Loss to the P.& I.Co.Will be Very Heavy\u2014Three Generators Burned.A gentleman and his wife, a young lady, a motor man and conductor, bad an experience last night that none of them will forget to their dying day.They were passengers on a Park and la- land trolley car which left Lachine shortly before seven p.m.They bowled along until suddenly the rain commenced to fall and the storm broke in all its fury, The lightning quickly attacked the company 8 plant, and in a second rendered it useless.Not only were the three generators destroyed, buf the trolley wire along the railway was burned through as though it were a piece of cotton.As the storm increased in its fury the position of the three passengers and the two employes became more serious, but there was at least some satisfaction in the expectation that with the stopping of the lightning the car would resume its journey and take the frigntened people into town.The young lady had been visiting friends in Lachine, and her family graduai- ly became more anxious as the hours went by, especially as they learned by wire that she had left Lachine.Eight o\u2019clock came, then nine, and the storm abated, but left a darkness that was simply awful, and to make matters worse they had no lanterns, So dark was it that the five occupants of the car could not even see each other.By ten o'clock the position grew more serious as the party waited patiently, but in vain, for some evidence of the return of the company\u2019s power.But even had the generators been workable the wires were burned to such a serious exlent that to get the cars moving that night was an impossibility.ALL NIGHT IN THE CAR.By midnight the entire party had become nearly frantic.The men had made an effort to walk to some habitation, but the darkness was so great that they dared uot venture more than a few yards from the car.Hour after hour passed by during which time the sufferings of the young lady caused her male companions much distress.The elder lady was accompanied by her husband, so that her situation was not so serious as that of the younger, to whom all were perfect strangers.The soft gray light of the breaking day was -the most welcome sight in the lives ol the five prisoners.It soon showed them a little house about half a mile across tha fields, and it was resolved to make an el: fort to reach it.Across ploughed fields, through miniature lakes, and over barb wire fences, the tired and hungry passengers travelled, and they were glad to meet with a hearty welcome, It was six o\u2019clock when the power was successfully turned on.The party reached town shortly afterwards in a frame oz wind that can be more readily imagined than described.THE MANAGER SPEAKS.A Herald reporter called on the manager of the Park and Island Railway and got this statement :\u2014 \u201cWe met with the most sudden and violent electric storm we have yet had to centend with.Everything that could be done was done to get the cars running at- ter the storm burst, but it was quite out of the question.The loss to us will be very great, not only by the destroying ot the plant but by the general upsetting ot the business.We now have everything in running order.THE VICTIMS.The gentleman and ladies do not wisy their names to be made public.Lid younger lady is resting at home, and has

COURSE Government Will Adhere to Their Announced Policy.Mr.Foster Thinks the House Cannot Give its Sanction to the Proposition.Ottawa, June 235.\u2014Wpec:al.)\u2014The House | was very anxious to-day to hear what the Gcvernment ww going to do in the matter of the subsidy for the extension ~f the Interodionau! Radway to Montreal.At the morn:0g and afternoon sessions Mr.I'oster was look.ng for iniormat: non the subject, and the leader of the House pro- uused to make a statement later on.SIR RICHARD EXPLAINS.After recess S:r Richard Cartwr ght rose and said : By consent and your goud will, Mr.Chairman, I will just reply to the hou.Jeader of the Opposition on the puint he was enquiring ubout.As l understand him, he desired to know why we had brought down an estimate for the purpose of paying rent to the Drummond County Railway and -the G.T.R.during a lew months of the coming financial year.1 would simply say this: We are of the opinion that, under the circumstances, 1t is very desirable that the experiment should be tricd at any rate for a few months, with the object of seeing what the resuit would be of extending the 1.C.K.into Montreal.We consider, of course, that the action taken by another body in this respect was ill-advised, but at the sume time, as it had been taken, it is pro posed to proceed, not on the basis of any agreement, because as a matter of course that ie at an end now, but we think it 1s desirable that the experiment should be tried.We think it important, whichever way it goes, that the liouse and country : should have an opportunity of judging whether we are right In our contention, in which case the objections would disap- paaz, whether we have been mistaken, in winch event it would not be necessary for us to proceed further with the experiment.For these reasons we desire to ask the House to give us the power of carrying out for a few months the experiment ot connecting the I.C.R.with the city ot Montreal, as originally intended.Mr.Foster\u2014Will the hon.gentleman oblige the Commons by stating, not in minute details, the lines of the agreement upon which the Government propose to make this experiment.Mr.Blair\u2014I may say that we are not in & Position at this moment to state the terms of any agreement between the Government and the G.T.R.Company or any other company, whose righta it will be necessary to acquire and use for the purposes of this extension.We have made no agreement as yet, but we contemplate tie extreme probability of our being able to make an agreement which will commend itself to the Government and will enable us to acquire the use of these lines for the term we have mentioned within the sum we asked Parliament to grant for that purpose.Of course, as to the details, 1 could not now give any information.That would be obviously impossible.Since the action was taken in another place, wa have had no means of considering the subject or of entering into negotiations with a view of making a temporary arrangement.\\We are strongly convinced that the policy of extending the 1.C.R.to Montreal js a sound one, and we shall adhere to it.\u2018Wo think that it is not in the interests ot the country that the I.C.R.should any longer than is absolutely necessary be compelled to terminate at the point where 1t now terminates, and we shall address our sclves to the making of such arrangements, if Parliament gives us the grant, that wili enable us to do so and as will give the matter a fair trial.I do not wish to convey to the committee the idea that the experiment with the time at our disposal, now about nine months, will enable us to make, will cover the ground adequately, but it will give us some infvrmation and it may poss:biy be that we muy ask lar liament for means to continue the expert- ment for another year.\"These are matters which will come up in due season.MR.FOSTERS OBJECTIONS.Mr.Foster\u2014My hon.friend will see that a great many difficulties surround the arrangements U the Government sunply come duwn, without any matured plius at all and ask fur a vote oË SISU,OUU or slc0,- 000 for what, as 1 undurstand it, is altogether in the air.The oid agreement Las passed away.That, us | understand my bon.friend, is the position: but ¢ ths House will grant tham this amount of muaey they will try 10 make some ar rangements by whien they can ga into slontreal.That ie simply asking the il.use to g.ve them a large sum of monez wi:h- où: any conaltions attached to it at all, witnout anything on which the Housa ca buwc that vote.I wish to point out an- otter matter which occurs to me.No arrangement or experiment that m'ght be made under conditions of that kind, in the shore space of eight or nine months, would be coneidered satisfactory either by those who are in favor of making this miranze ment, or satisfactory proof by those who du not see the wisdom of it.May I ask if any sum of money has paæed t> the Dru:nmond County Railway under the pre pæec«! arrangements ?Sit Richard Cartwr:ght and Mr- Blair (both at once)\u2014None whatever.Mr.Blair\u2014I may say that there it a Fimmitation to the oblgations which the Government would assume im connection with any arrançement we might make, and that is the limit of the sum voted by Parliament, and hon.members will see further that the sum named corresponds with the ammount wh.ch was agreed upon between the two companies should be the consideration for which we should acquire the necessary facilities for extend ng the railway to Montreal.And presumably the arrangement which may be en\u2018ered into temporarily may be on the lines, certainiy it will not be for a sun in excess of the terms which have been agreed upon, and which now, by reason of the action which bas taken place, is at an end.I may suy further, that, so far from there having been any arrangement at all be:ween the Grand Trunk Railway Company or the Drummond Crunty and the Government, under which they would receive any consideration from the Gnvernmen*, there has been an entire absence of anythitz of that kird.The only thine that has \u2018akrn place is that we have giveca to the G.T.'R.Company an assurance that we will ask Par::ament to make to that company the usual 13 per cent.grant for the re &:s'ruct on and enlargement of the Vie tor:a br: lgv\u2014ihe 6sss'aue We grant not lo exceed pow, us\u2019, SUBSIDY YOR THE ROAD.1 may wad, further, that it is our pur.puss to ack

personal ex- : plaration in regard to the statement which had been aredited to him by Sir Mackenzie Bowell to the effect that the Crow\u2019s Nest Pass Railway bill would be held over unless the Intercolonial extension bill becomes law.Mr, Sutherland wished to publicly deny that the had ever given ex- pressun to any such sentiment.COURSE OF BUSINESS.Sir Richard Cartwright, replying to a question by Mr.Foster observed that the Franchise and Superannuation bills had been dropped for the present session as well as a resolution by Mr.Mulock providing for the deductions to be made from | the Civil Service to keep up the proposed superannuation system.The bill to amend the Criminal Code which has come down from the Senate stands for a mutual arraugement between the Government and the leader of the Opposition.The reso- bution to provide for the payment in bounties on iron and steel manufactured from Canadian ores will he pressed, also the Crow's Nest Bill.The resolution to cmpower the Government to raise $15,- 000,006 to cover the floating indebtedness: the railway subsidies and an act respecting certain savings banks in the Province of Quebec.This, as will be seen at a glance, comprises a very considerable programme with ground for much discussion.The discussion continued on the items in the customs vote, which are put there , to «pable the Minister of Customs to put down smuggling.From this the Commit- tec passed to some Supplementary post- otlice estimates.The old story of dis- Tuissals was once more gone over, and got so tiresome that even a Ci nservative like Mr.Bergeron got up and protested against the waste of time.He declared that he had refused to bring up such petty cases frem his own county.If the people were not satisfied with what the Government had done they had themselves to blame for putting it in power.Tor this Mr.Faster called him down in an undertone, but the member for Beauharnois was not to be blutfed, and expressed his opinion {that these discussions were all nonsense.PUSFOFFICE ESTIMATES.; After the Interrolonial statement at the \u2018evening session the cons\u2018deration of the post-ctice estimates was continued, and from that the Committee drifted into Trert Valley canal estimates.The Gov.ermn.ent asked in the estimates for $I8,- , S00, the cast of running the Baie des Cha- feurs railway for five months, The de- \u201cficit in that time was 210,000.The Opposition denounced the taking over for experiment of this line.and Mr.Foster dec! wed that it discredited the Minister of Railwiavs, The Liberal members for the Gulf counties praised the Government \u2018for running the line.A number of stray Cites in the estimates were got rid of, \u2018leaving these nearly completed and the House rose at two am.WHAT THR SENATE WILL DO.Senator Miller Moves for the Appointment of an Investigating Committees.\u2014 When the Senate met at eight o\u2019clock, Sir Mackenzie Bowell referred to the de- niui made in the House of Commons by Mr.Sutherland, the L.beral whip of state- \u2018ments, whica the newspapers atiributed Ito him in his speech last evening in the 'Senate.Nir Mackenzie said he would not charge the reporters with having m:are- ported him as he might not have made hiinself plain.What he intended to say about Mr.Sutherland was that he had |Seoate refused to assent to the Drummond for power to

used to repeat over and Cover azo to his friends.From that tige until the present he has shown signa lot a weakening of the brain.Upon one ce- \u2018casion he claimed that a man bad in- sulied his landlady and he demanded satisfaction.He proposed a fight to a finish with tive ounce gloves, and then went into rapid preparation.On the day nominated in the bond for the meeting of the two men, only Gammidge, it is needless to say, [put in an appearance.He snon became ;unfit for the office work in which he was kept busy, and after wandering around the ;city in an aimless condition for weeks, he igot a place with the Street Railway Company He war soon out again, however, \u2018and then he talked of nothing else but re- vehge on somebody, and finally of suicide, He spent several months eearching for some one with whom to fight.Finally when navigation opened he wandered down to the wharves where day after day he sat looking into the water and wondering if he could walk upon it.i It is thought that a few months of \u2018care and nursing at the Verdun Hospital will restore his mind to its normal condition.THE FRESH MR.DE BARRY.Toronto, June 25.\u2014There is a good deal of talk in railway circles here and in labor circles over the proposed attempt of Inspector de Barry, of Buffalo, to prevent Canadian crews handling trains of Canadian railways after they cross the border and run over American railways.General \"Superintendent T.W.Leonard, of the ; Canadian Pacific Railway, says that provi- sio: was made in the American Alien Labor Law allowing Canadian companies ! to retain their own crews running over tha American roads under certain circumstances.He thought Inspector de Barry would have a prettv hard job to get the | retuliatory legislation he talked about.On i some portion of the Canadian Pacific road | cast of Montreal it would be necessary to | change the crews several times as the | trains run in and out of Canadian and | United States territory.It would, he ! thought, be as much against the interests | of the American roads as against the Cana- , dian roads to have such retaliatory legislation as that threatened.RIVER RAILWAY CLAIMS Toronto, June 24.\u2014A motion was made yesterday at Osgoode Hall for the continuation of an injunction recently obtained on behalf of Mr.D.I.Burk, of Port Au thur, against the provisional directorate, of which he is one, to prohibit them receiving a first payment of %7,000 in the sale of the Ontario Rainy River Railway.The purchasers are Mr.William Mackenzie, president of the Toronto Street Kal way Company, and his brother, Mr.Lon- ald MacKenzie, who, as railway contract ors here and at Winnipeg, proposed to RAINY Mr.Burk-asks that the injunction, in accordance with what he claims to be the requirements of the original charter, be continued until all the claims for construction aga.ust the directorate are paid or secured, so that he may be freed from personal liability for any portion of them.Ar gument was adjourned for a week.STREET RAILWAY LAW.Hamilton, June 24.\u2014An inquest in the | case of Charles Guy, conductor, who was | killed on the Radial Rauwayv, took place last

HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1897.A THINS POOR HD À FEAST The Princess of Wales Fed 300,000 of Them \u2014\u2014\u2014 eNJOYED THE GOOD THINGS \u2014\u2014 State Reception Held at Buckingham Palace Largely Attended.preparations Complete for the Naval Review Which Takes Place on Saturday.tt n, June 24\u2014The Princess of J abies dinners to the poor to-day were very successful.About 300,000 deni- sens of the slums were sumptuously enter- wed at the various centres.The Prin- 25, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, Pancess Victoria of Wales and Prince and Princess Charles of Denmark, visited the principal halls where the feasts were given.\u2018ne Princess of Wales requested the Lord Mayor to deliver this message to all the divers, as follows: ~Alvhough 1 am unfortunately unable to be present at all the dinners for my poor, ] shall be with them in spirit, hoping that they will enjoy themselves, and give three d'eers for their Queen.\u201d The children at the Pgople\u2019s Palace were all cripples.Some were wheeled in bath chairs, others limped in on crutches u:o the banquet hall, and many had to be arried in.As soon as the royal party rerched the platform two little cripples presented bouquets of flowers to the Princess of Wales and to the Lady Mayoress, The scene was most affecting, and nearly sil eves were moist.The Prince of Wales, in behalf of the Princess, expressed the pleasure which it afforded them in being ahle to bring some degree of happiness to the children.He then called for cheers for the Queen, which were heartily given.The members of the Royal party then nade a tour of the hall, and, before leav- irg, the Princess of Wales took up a glass of ginger ale, which had been served to one of the little cripples, and emptied it to the tealth of the childien.At the Central Hall, Holborn, 17,000 people, young and old, partook of the banquet served.When the Royal party entered the hall the food was apparently forgotten.All present stood up and cheer after cheer shook tha building.Un making à tour of the room the Princess of Wales turned to an old Irish woman and expressed the hope that she had partaken of a good dinner.To this the old woman replied: \u2018\u201c\u2018God bless you, dear,\u201d and patted the Princess on the shoulder.The members of the Royal party frequently shook hands with and spoke encouraging words to ragged waifs, The same scenes were witnessed at Clerkenwell.This has, emphatically, been the Princess of Wales\u2019 day, and her idea of giving a treat to the poor has been erowned with the greatest success.She was everywhere received with much enthusiasm.The day was very hot and the Princess wore the simplest kind of a muslin dress with figured mauve pansies.At the People\u2019s Palace the Princess herself made the first block of ice-cream with a patent freezer, to the delight of tue children.At the various adults\u2019 feasts it was at first decided not to allow beer tp be served; but the Lady Mayoress interceded, and all present had \u201ca reasonable allowance.\u201d THE STATE RECEPTION.On behalf of Her Majesty the Prince and Princess of Wales gave a state reception this evening at Buckingham Palace.ihe occasion was one of unprecedented brilliancy, the guests numbering over 1,600, und included all the special jubilee visitors and the admirais, captains and oflicers from Spithead.An enormous growd watched the arrivals ut the palace, while the streets converging there were filled with carriages.The ball- rom scene was ome of dazzling splendor.The guests promenaded through the gor- gevus salons of the palace while the bands payed dance music.Among those present were the Duke and Duchess of York, the Duke and Duchess of Cobourg, the Duke tid Duchess of Fife, and the Duke and uchess of Teck.THE SPITHEAD REVIEW.Portsmouth, Eng., June 24.\u2014Already there 18 a big assemblage of yachts in the Solent to witness the great naval review of Saturday next.Practically all the war-

No.200 Centre street an old gentleman whose history at this time will be interesting to the Point people and others as well.This gentleman, Mr.Wal ter Burke, was born in England a number of years before the Queen.He joined the First Dragoon Guards at the age of nineteen, and along with his regiment he took part in the military exercises at the coronation of Her Majesty, having a good recollection of the pageant of that time.1n 1850, Mr.Burke, atter twenty years\u2019 service in the dragoons, emigrated to Mont: real.He soon joined the Montreal police, and was an active member of that force up to January last, when on completing forty-four years of full service he was retired.He was for twenty-seven years ranked as sergeant, and during that time had charge of nearly every police-station in the city.Mr.Burke is a stalwart, fine- looking man, and, old as he is, appears hale and hearty.He goes out walking nearly every day, and never misses an op: portunity to pay a visit to Capt.Egan and the \u201cboys\u201d of No.9.When Mr.Burke was retired last January he was promised six months\u201d extra pay.lle waited and waited but did not get it, Then he made enquiries, and was told he would only get two months\u2019 extra pay.He waited again, but still no money came.Last Monday Mr.Burke called at the Mayor's office to see about the money that should have been received by him long ago, but the Mayor was out.A grand musical and dramatic enter tainment was given by the school children of St.Gabriel\u2019s in honor of their pastor's patronal feast last might.The affair took place in the old St.Gabriel school house, which was prettily and tastefully decorated for the occasion.Over the paltform was hung a large motto, extending a cordial greeting to the pastor.The programme was rendered in good style.Proceedings were opened with the chorus, \u201cCome where the lilies bloom,\u201d by the St.John Evangelist Convent girls, who looked very beautiful.Then followed a triologue entitled \u201cThe Musical Bore,\u201d by Walter Daly, Hugh Thompson and Thomas Mure phy, boys of the Sarsfield school, A unique play entitled \u201cNo Cure, No Pay, was presented by the following St.Charles Convent girls : Eva Laprairie, Mary Mar nell, Florence Deegan, Nellie Clarke, Ethel Hendry, Lily Deegan and Jessie Hannah.The young ladies took their parts well and received much applause.A declamation, \u201cThe Priest\u2019s Leap,\u201d by Hugh McAlear, elicited vigorous encores.The recitation, \u201cErin\u2019s Flag,\u201d by Percy Dunberry, was well received, and a song by Miss Kathleen Swain made a decided hit.The farce, \u2018À Love of a Bonnet,\u201d was presented by a number of St.John Kvangelist Convent girls, including Miss Cassie O\u2019Brien, Alice Byrne, Annie E.Kelly, Julia Robert, Lizzie Leahy and Lillie O'Neill.Miss Anne J.Skelly\u2019s rendering of \u201cA Legend ot Brejenz\u201d was exceptionally good.Among others who took part were the Misses Nora Watt, G.Watt, Bernedette, Renme, Leonard Rennie, and M.Rennie.An exhibition of fanev marching and physical drill by the St.John Evangelist Convent girls was a feature of the entertainment.\"The programme was closed with a few remarks by Rev.William O\u2019Meara, P.P.The electric cars are running along Guy and Seigneur streets now, and prove very convenient ic the residents on those

opened in the home of Joseph Melton, near Bordley, in Union county, the father found his two little girls laying in it smothered to death, Laura, aged 7, and Jennie, 5.While their parents were absent the children had been playing \u201chide and seek\u201d with three other tots.While searching for a good hiding place, the two evidently thought of an old trunk in the celler, crawled into it and closed the lid.A spring lock made it an air-tight tomb.Wholesome and entertaining fie- tion for summer reading will be the feature of The Herald's Summer Fiction Supplement the come ing months.Wvery

Important Meetings Will be Held at the Colonial Office\u2014 Premier Laurier Satisfied.London, June 2¢.\u2014(Toronto Telegram Cable.)\u2014It was hinted some days ago that the Colonial tro.ps woud be given a wp to Scotland and for a brief stay be the guesis of the hosp.able wty of Glasgow, To the disappuintment of many and notably the Cunadians, the idea has been abandoned, Colonial Secretary Chamberlain said today, after the meeting at the Colonial Othee that it was owing to the brief time between now and the departure of the Colorial troops, that the idea of visiting not only Glasgow, but Birmingham, Man- dhester and other large cities, had to be abandoned.This forenoon the ancient university of Oxford coferred the degree of Doctor of Divinity upon the Most Rev.Robert Ma- chray, Archbishop of Rupert's Land, and Primate of all Canada.The first of the series of meetings which Right Hon.Joseph Chamberlain, Colonial Secretary, intends holding at the Colonial Office during the sojourn of the Premiers of the colonies in London was held to-day.Mr.Chamberlain devoted much of the time to Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the topic of their conversation being the Canadian tariff resolutioms, and the preferential fey- ture of them.The Trades Council of the city of Lon.den will invite Sir Wilfrid Laurier at an early date, to address a mass meeting of industrial workers.Col.Prior\u2019s

last the members and adherent s of Melville Presbyterian Church, Westmount, were called together to consider the very important step of giving & call to à minister.The Rev.Mr.Cruikshanks, of St.Matthews Church, Point St.Charles, acted as moderator.After some preliminary discussion, sa £nr- mal resolution was carried, affirming \u2018hat the congregation wae.now prepared Lo moderate in a call.Two candidaise were duly proposed, Rev.Dr.MeKenzie, of St.Stephen, N.B., and the Rev.Mr.Winfield, of Ottawa, Ont.A vote being taken, it was found that Dr.McKenzie was by far the most popular candidate with those who voted- As the choice could not he made unanimous at the time, it was deein- ed advisable to adjourn the meeting till a later date.Many of the staid and old speakers who claimed the right to use liquors and tobacco as seemed right in their wisdom.Applause greeted those who declared that prohibition and teetotaligm were enemies of the temperance cause.During Jubilee Day some rascals made an attempt to break into the store where The Herald branch office is, at 4228 St.Catherine Street.In doing so they smashed a large plate glass window in one of the doors.Through the prompt action of Cour cillor T.C.Bulmer, who happened to be near by at the time, the police were called, and two boys, suspects, were retained until the officers arrived.Opn investigation it bas been found that these boys were wanted for other charges of stealing and the charge of breaking the winddow will be brought agaist them next Monday.Myr.Bulmer and the police deserve great credit for prompt action.Mr.A.T.McCormack went to Platts- burg last evening.Special attention is called to the new advertisement in this issue of Mr.Thomas Fessenden, the leading boot and shoe merchant of the town.ANGLO-BELGIAN | EXPEDITION.Reported That Baron Dhanis and His Force Were Massacred by Mahdists.Brussels, June 25.\u2014The Reforme says it learns from a good source that the entire Dhanis expedition to the head waters of the Nile, including Baron Dhanis himself, has been massacred.Baron Dhanis, last year, enlisted 6,000 men in the Congo Free State to take part in a secret expedition, The British Government allowed a number of its Haussas troops to join the expedi- ticn; bub it was officially denied that an Anglo-Belgian movement had been concerted against the Mahdists.The general impression, however, was that this force was intended to aet in conjunction with the Anglo-Egyptian expedition up the Nile and take the Mahdists between two fires, and eventually complete the re-conquest of the Soudan.Early in December last it was reported that the expedition had met with disaster and that Baron Dhanis had been killed.Later it was authoritatively stated that there was no ground for the report that the Baron had been killed, and that when last heard from, in September, he was at Stanley Falls, 600 miles from the nearest Dervish forces.Every lover of Good fiction will

for the forty-two and a half mils that remain uncompleted between Moose Park and Chaudiere, it being a condition that this subsidy is to be refunded if the whole line is purchased or leased by the Government.In addition, $157,500 is asked, for the purpose of leasing the completed line, and of securing running powers over the Grand Trunk for a period of nine months, in order that a test may be made of the value of the proposed extension of the Intercolonial to thie city.No moneys bave been paid to the Drummond County or Grand Trunk Railway companies, the only obligation the Government has entered into in respect to th being to ask l\u2019arliament for the customary subsidy of fifteen per cent.of the cost of enlargement of the Victoria bridge.In the Senate Senator Miller has given notice that he will move for a special oxmmittee of that House to enquire into Drummond County Railway matters.Briefly stated, such is the situation ab Ottawa.The Government, met by unusual conditions, in carrying out a detail of public policy which it is convinced is in the best interests of the country, adopts a samewhat unusual, but wholly constitu.ticnal course.Believing that the extension of the Intercolonial should be made ut once, and no doubt feeling morally bound to implement, as far as in its power, the agreement it had arrived ab with the railway companies, and which has been endorsed by the people\u2019s representatives, it makes provision for the building of the missing link of railway, and for a temporary lease of the lines.This will enable Parliament and the country to judge by results the wisdom of the proposed extension, and will give the Senate ample time to prosecute its proposed search efter scandals.It is to be regretted that the exigencies of the aituation have made it necessary for one of the Houses of Parliament to antagonize the other.We may feel that the Senate, as at pre- pent constituted, is an anomalous part of our system of Government and ¢hat iis tctions, when partisan considerations intervene, are seldom entütled to respeot.The course it has pursued in the present instance will centainly tend to strengthen in the popular mind, this conception.of the Senate.At the same time, its inherent reason for existence is that it may act as & check on the popular assembly, and while blind and unreasoning exerciso of that power is additional reason why the Upper Chamber should be ended or mended, the ignoring of its right to perform its constitutional functions has to be justified by most unusual conditions.That these prevail in the case under discussion, we are satisfied, else such careful legis tators and striot conservers of the conati- tution as Sir Oliver Mowat and Sir Richard Cartwright would not be advising Parliament to follow the course now adopt ed in regard to this matter.The Toronto Mail and Empire says :\u2014 \u201cSir Oliver Mowat did not know much about the Drummond deal when advocating it in the Senate yesterday.Here are the particulars the galiant knight could not tell :\u2014Ninety miles of the railway were built for S1,000,000 in round figures.\u2018That million dollars is made up of $643.103 ot subaidiea.and $400,000 of cash.For the possession of the ninety miles the country is to pay interest on $1,505,000.\u201d Sir Oliver might well be ignorant of these \u201cparticulars,\u201d for they are inaccurate.Ii, as the Mail and Empire admits, the ninety miles of road which are constructed have cost $1,000,000, then at the least calculation the company will have to expend, for the oampletion of the remaining forty-two and a half miles, five or six hundred thousand dollars.This will bring the total cost to the company of the completed road up to the figure which the Government proposes to pay for it.This is on the Mail and Empire's own basis.\u2018ihe | mistake which our contemporary makes is | in supposing that the $1,600,000 which the Government proposes to pay the Drum- mond County Company is for the ninety | miles now completed.Yor that amount the completed road, about 135 miles, must be handed over.The Mail and Empire should resd the agreement it is condemning.The investigation which the Senate is propomng to make into the Drummond County Railway purchase will be welcomed by the Liberals of the whole country.But the inquiry should go the distance that the accusations have gone.It will be an admission of cowardice i the Senate, ster having thrown out the agreement on the ground that there was something corrupt about it.should now ebirk investigation inte their own charges.was not entitled.These figures are fairly etartling.Leg judged politic to secure.diture.justified.plicable, EE a a tions were at hand and

the late Government when a pretext was to be found for the dismissal of some Rouge employes, which may explain the exceptional economy.islation, for some cover if one were to credit the late adm\u2019nistration with pure motives, has cost the couniry nearly eighty-seven thousand dollars more than in 1895-96.And yet four of the principal constituencies in the Province were left unrepresented during the last Prvincial Parliament, because, forsooth, an economical administration feared to incur the expense.Thus necessary expense was equandered in distributing sinecure offices among electors whose support it was The cost of civil government was increased nearly $23,- 000; but this is trifling beside the enormous increase in the expense of the administration of justice.How often has the Attorney-General pointed with pride to the economies effected in this department without any impairment to its efficiency?It vas a favorite boast of Mr.Casgrain that be had weeded the law offices of useless officials, increased the remuneration of the deserving, and reduced the total expen- His sucocessor has made the same bcast.Agriculture and colonization have cost over a hundred

side most impressively.The utter unfairness of the plan did not appear to the superficial hearer or reader, who was not reminded of how the expenditure for 1804 had increased over that of 1893, and how the resignation of the Hon.Mr.de Boucherville had been the signal for a renewed and successful attack upon the Provincial Treasury, and how the era of deficits, which had seemed almost at an end, had been restored with a flourish of trumpets, It is well known now with what lavish expenditure the Flynn Administration boped to purchase from the electors a verdict to which it knew it Attempts were made to corrupt electors individually and bloc.\u201d This cost money, and the Province has to pay.The following table of ex- peuditures for the year just ending with the year 1895-96 will give

considerable sum of public bonuses has nothing to do with the price which the Government is now justified in paying for the acquirement of the road.his fact may set us thinking about the whole question of subsidizing railways.1% may suggest to some more advanced thinkers that we should face boldly and at once the possibility (perhaps probability) ot Canada determining at some future date to purchase and operate all her railways.It may be an argument in favor of the \u2018n- sertion in future subsidies of a clause which will provide that in the purchase of any subridized railway the amount of the pu&- lic subsidies which have gone into its construction shall be deducted from the purchase price.But in the present instance the questions To be answered are simply : Whether or not the Government has chosen the proper route for the extension, and whether it is paying more for the Drum- mond County Road than it could build an equally serviceable road?Warm approval is given by the Toronto World (Conservative) to the policy of the Dominion Government in extending the In- tercolonial Railway from the country town which is now the western terminus of this Government road, to the commercial metropolis of the Dominion.Our Toronto contemporary says that dhe bringing of the Intercolonial to Montreal establishes \u201ca line of railway from Montreal to the At lantic wholly under state control and in Canadian territory.The Government\u2019s policy will act as a complete and sufficient check to any attempt on the part of the G.T.R.or C.P.R.to dictate freight rates to the Canadian exporter or importer.Here.toforc these two companies were masters of the situation east of Montreal.What the pe:vle of Canada desire is that the fMov- , ernment\u2019s railway policy shall aim at controlling rates, securing competition and afiording running rights to other roads.The question of mileage is a mere matter of detail.It is not a policy.\u201d { .Chauncey Depew, in writing about the Jubilee, did a graceful act in recalling to the minds of his countrymen the fact, too olten lost s'ght of by our American ,cousins, that Queen Victoria has always I dispiayed sincere friendship fur the people coi the United Stales.Mr.Depew said: \u201cShe has alwaye been cordial in her friendships and anxious for the loftiest rela- ! ticaship with the United States, Her messages, sweet, tender, and womanly, to the widow of Lincoln, and the wife of dying Garfield, gave her a warm welcome and a prominent memory in our \u201cAmerican hanes.\u201d Mr.Bergeron\u2019s plea in the House for - the emplwyment of convict labor on the public highways had much to commend it.When following ordinary industrial inter- mural pursuiis the convicts come in com- .petition with free labor, whereas it they , were building roads they would be doing a work of general value and interfering wits polling mre serious than the holiday which the farmer takes once a year under the deiusion that he is road -mak- ing.It\u2019s just like these Yankee friends of ours to claim credit for everything in sight, even ii the only thing ia sight at the moment is the Queen's Jubilee.Ac cording to Mr.Depew, the American re- volut'onists, by teaching British mtates- men the leawan that Englishmen woud not stand taxation without repreeentat:on.rein.| \u2014_ compelled such a change in Britain\u2019s treatment of her colonies as made the Jubilee procession of Tuesday a possibility.And there is sufficient truth in the statzment to make it thought-provoking.\u201cThe Senate them went on with the tariff bill, and Sir Mackenzie Bowell easzd the mind of the Government by announe- ing that he did not intend to move to throw out the combines clause.\u201d\u2014lhe uu- zette.For this the country should be properly thankful.The venerable old gentlemen of the Senate will not, it appears, prevent the country from getting everything its elected representatives devise for the public benefit.The tone of the members of the Government, both in the Senate and in the Commons, in discussing the action of the Senate on the Drummond County arrangement, has been admirable, and not calculated to provoke a breach of the peace.The old gentlemen appear not insensible to tlus, and having made it quite clear that they are doing business at the old stand, will probably refrain from rejecting the supply bill.À correspondent suggests that the banks, insurance companies, and other large institutions should allow their electric decorations to remain for Dominion Day, and 1or the return of the Canadian contingert from London.With the first band in the London Jubilee procession playing the Washing:on Pos: march, the ehest \u2018development of John Philip Sousa must now be somatbing abnormal.THREADS AND THRUMS.What a tiresome child it is who is weary of all its toys, who doesn't want to play with anything, and just whines around, wearing raw edges on the tempers of its elders.More tiresome still are the people to whom nothing is worth while, who have sapped all the joy that a selfish life held, and who mourn and wail and want to die because somebody has more possessions than they have.People who have it in their minde that possessions make for happiness have to unlearn a great deal betore they are ready to learn the truth.1d rather be a shiitless old tramp in the streets who had never harmed anybody but himself than a man with bu'ging pockets and a omacience that cries when it is dark because he has robbed his workmen or betrayed the trust of those who set him in a high place.\u2014 What a queer way a man takes to dust! off his bat.If it is knocked offi or blown off, he fusses after it and then stares ruefully at the dust end\u2014rubs it with his sleeve, which he deftly catches in his hand.A woman wou'd blow at it and shake it and get out her little \u2018\u2019hbankey\u201d and swish it, and have a very elaborate time; but never in this wide world would she rub it with her aleeve.What an after-the-ball look decorations have when the fuss is over! Even the big V.R.on the mountain is passe, while some of the wind-toæsed Chinese lanterns look decidedly the worse for wear.\u2014 \u201cMr.\u2014 took the three children to the Wrid West show,\u201d said a Little woman to a big neighbor; \u201che didn't want to go bimself, but he'd promised them\u201d: and she went on trundhing her baby carriage and looking quite wise.A good many fathers and mothers said just such things, and then they went gaily off and bad a fine time.Ii was auch fun to watch the riders clinging to the saddie, riding horses without saddles, lassoing, shoot.ng, doing musical rides and having races which no one ever won, and which was only a wild scamper around the ring.It was a g'on- ous evening when we were tire.and it was not too crowded.The peanut man, the peppermint man and all the other od- | dities sang their droning songe.The ln- d:ans whooped and sad \u201c\\Vow-wow,\u201d and \u201cki-yi,\u201d the weird music of the Uoesacks rose and fell on the gir and it was all very amusing and oetlandish and interesting.There is, I think, no prettier sight on haif holidays than the crowds of poorty- dressed children roaming over the mountain and tiling their hands with butter cups and daisies end clover.And the picnics you come wpon\u2014father and mother and aunties and babies of all ages, squatting in the grass, feasting on the contents of a fat, warped, old basket, and then going home in the late twilight, tired, dirty, fairly intoxiceted with the fresh air, and, oh! so happy.MADGE MERTON.AT THE HOTELS, | AT THE WINDSOR.F H.B.Macdougall, Montreal.| W.B.Kingsmill, Toronw.;

B.C.s RACES.C:od Trotting at Yesterday.Lepine Park Toronto Wants the International Meet \u2014 Local and General Sporting News.New York, June 24.\u2014International mort received a fillp yesterday when Marcus Daly, the Montana mining king, and owner of the Big Bitter Root breeding farm in Montana, cabled a princely offer to John Gubbine for his colt Galtee More, tue winner of the recent Lnglish Derby.Piuæing through (hicayo, en route for Buite, Mont, Mr.Daly svopped over long enough to send the following cablegram to Mr.John Gubbins, Knocknany, Ire land: \u2014 Wili give $125,000 cash and half his turf winnings for Galtee More.Questioned as to his reasons for making such an offer, Mr.Daly said:\u2014\u201cl want Gaitee More becuse 1 think he ia the greatest thoroughbred of the age.I know the stock he comes from, and his progeny should be as valuable as his an- ceotry.For my part I would not care to race him much.I would retire him tu Bitter Root stud after a season or two on the track.Galtee More's pedigree goes back to the fsmous sire Stockwell on both sides of his breeding and is enriched by many of the greatest names in the English Etud Book.Ilis sire, Kendal, was by Dend Or (ae Derby winner in 1880), by Doncaster, by Stockwell, and his dam was by Springfield, by St.Albans, by Stock- well.Galtee ore was bred by Mr.GubbMins, whose colors he carried to victory in four of the five races he contested as a two- year-old.The colt was not started until the Stockbridge meeting the last week in June of last year.lle won the Hurst bourne Stakes at that fixture from several amart youngsters.When attempting to concede Brigg two pounds in the great Lancashire Breeders\u2019 Produce Stakes at the Liverpool July meeting he succumbed by a head to Mr.Leopold de Rothschild\u2019s volt.But at Goodwood carrying a seven pound penalty in the Molecomb Stake, he got home a head in front of The Wake.In the Rous Plate at Doncaster, Galtee More, with a steadier of 131 pounds up, won from Peacock, carrying 119 pounds.Later in the week he won the Middle Park Plate, the most important two-year- old event on the English turf.Lord Rose.bery's Valasquez, conceding three pounds was beaten a dozen lengths.Velasquez, at even weights, 126 pounds, was beaten by the Irish colt in the recent Derby by two lengths.Galtee More began the present season by winning the Twe Thousand Guineas and the Newmarket Stakes, and since the Derby was run he has won the Prince oi Wales Stakes at Ascot.He has six or seven valuable engagements still to come, including the Doncaster St.Leger.Mr.Gubbins is no stranger to this country, fur he came here many years ago, and ramained until the death of a wealthy relative in Ireland.PEAPICKER'S THREE STRAIGHTS.The rain early yesterday epoiled the attendance at Lepine Park, but ait did not spoil the races.The track was in excellent shape, when the weather conditions are considered.In the 40 class Pea Picker had a picnic, and Sam Desautels was very happy.lle had everything his own way, and won as he pleased in a walk.He drove out and took the heart out of the others about the time the quarter was reached.In the 2.12 class the same story was told over again, and Last Re- (quest proved her ability to carry her mark without much trouble.Old Charley Taylor got a great personal reception, but he did not have much chance for a winner with Robert B.Jones Ordway was somewhat of a disappointment, and a bad breaker, and the little money that went into the box was lost.Following is the summary :\u2014 Purse, $150; 2.40

MONTRE \\L QUOITING LEAGUE À special mesting of the Montreal Quoit'ng Leigue wis heid last evening.Mr.Alexander Lindsay.president.in the chair.There was a fair attendance of delegates from earh of the clubs.The fret question considered wis the pratost frem he St.G-hriel Club againet three members who were p'aving in the Montreal Chub agers them, aa they had nat sent in their written resignations tn the Cub to wh ah ther had fermer!y belarzel.Aîter orneiderahle dis-uasion the protest Was reg ed, g ving the mich that the burn, Smith's Falls; Wiliam Eavee, jr., : Owden, Montreal; G.Gingras, Voltigeurs, r Montreal Club had won to the St.Gabriel Club.The next questron to be decided was the mavoh last Saturday between the M «trea and Su Lawrence clubs.The Momreal Club cla:med the me:ch be cause four of the members of the St.Law- rene Club refused to play the Montreal Club's spare men after 6.15, although being on vhe ground all afternoon.The secretary of the Montreal Club, before the draw took place, gave the secretary of the St.Lawrence Club his lst of players and spare men.After considerable d:scuss:on the match was given to the St.Lawrence Club, ATHLETICS, LOUIS CYR ABROAD.Louis Cyr, the champion strong man of the worid, spent the day in Anaconda yesterday, and last evening he gave al exhibition of his marvellous strength to an aud.cnce at the Turner Hall, says the Anasconda, Mont, Herald.Mr.Cyr claims | to have earned the title of champion in i his class beyond a duubt, and from the records produced there does not seem to be any way to dispute it.Mr.Cyr beheves in not only exhibrung his strength from & platform, touring it by himself, but he has for yesrs made it à point to meet all | Cla:mants of championship honors.lt 15 à notable fact that in every instance where Mr.Cyr has met an opponent, he has defeated him.The last to succumb to the Canadian's herculean strength was Johnson.\u201cIhe Terrible >wede,\u201d whom he met in Chicago last year.Johnson quit after the fourth test.With Sandow and Samson Cyr has never been able to ar | range a match.lle has repeatedly en- deavored to do so, and deposited money at various times and places for these men i to cover.Sandow once challenged Cyr, M.McKay, Albert Moore, Bertie Spooner, | but when the latter took up the challenge Eugene backed out.Cyr is a Canadian, and hails from Montreal.His we:ght is at present 330 pounds, but 10 pounds less is his average.Mr.Cyr has been in this high altitude but three weeks, and when he first came here he was unable to perform at all, so short was his breath.He improved rapidly, however, and is now able to monkey as ot yore with his little two and three hundred pound dumb-bells and other similar apparatus.At the Turner Hall last evening he was greeted with prolonged cheers and his every feat was loudly cheered.T'wo of the the heaviest men in the house, standing on a platform, the total weight by actual figures made last evening being 3,112 pounds, and his pulling against twe horsca A platform of rough planking had been laid on the floor beneath the stage and on this the horses were placed, one at either side of Cyr, to whose arms were fastened straps connecting with the harness.At a given signal the two horses commenced pulling, and it could be seen plainly that there was a great strain on the strong man, but he stood it for fully two minutes, when the horses ceased.Such a pull would have torn an ordinary mortal into shreds, but with Cyr it was different.Cyr has a younger brother in the middie- weight class, who is also a wonder.Great strength has for centuries been a predominant feature in the Cyr family, and no weaklings have showed themselves up to date.Louis Cyr may pay Anaconda another visit before the season is over.CRICKET.STOPPED BY THE RAIN.Tondon, June 24.\u2014At the Oval to-day the Gentlemen of Philadelphia began a cricket match against an eleven representing Oxford Past and Present.The home tearm won

the recent contest between Peter Maher and Tom Sharkey promises to result in another match.Before Shar- key left for Europe last Wednesday he issued a sweeping challenge ko fight any heavyweight in the world to a finish, Maher preferred, and posted £2,500 forfeit to guarantee a match.Yesterday Mater\u2019s backer, Buck Connolly, telegraphed from Pittsburg that he would meet Dan Lynch, who is Sharkey's representative, as the Police Gazette Office at noon today to arrange the details of a matca for 85.000 and a purse.It is understood that an effort will be made to have the affair take place

Baron de llirsch school took place last evening at the Dufferin school.Notwithstanding the rain there was a good attendance, and the etforts of the echulars were much appreciat-d.Mon.George Vashing- ton Stephens, M.L.A., presided, and was supporteu by sir \\Vilham Llingston, Rev.R«bbi Veld, Rev.Rabbi de Sola, Dr.D.A.Haut, Messrs, 1.Rubenstein, J, Scher man, L.Holstein, D.A.Ansell, president of the school; W.H.Baker, the superintendent, and a number of ladies.Apologies for non-attendance were read from ' Rev.Dr.MacVicar, chairman of the Pro- | testant School Commissioners; Mrs.de Sola, president of the Montreal section of the Council of Jewish Women, and others.The opening address, in English, consisted of a jubilee ode, and its sentiments brought forth loud applause.The report of tha superintendent stated that the statistics of the school at the termination of the seventh season shows the steady but sure development of the educational work which has een carried on.A total of 431 children have attended the school during the year.The higness number who attended in one month was .336, and the average attendance for the year has been 287.At frequent intervals during the year children have had to be refused admission in consequence of the crowded condition of the school.In order to meet the requirements of the Babrew population of the city, arrangememts are being made to enlarge the present building or to procure other suitable premises, sufficiently large and commodious to supply the accommodation needed.Fo» this purpose a special donation has been sent by the Baroness de Ilrsch, who con- tirues to take as great an interest in the ir.ctitution, and especially in the education of the young, as did her revered and lamented husband.Rabbi Veld, Jewish chaplain, reported on the religious knowledge and Hebrew of the school.He said : \u201cOn a thorough examination of each class, in accordance with the syllabus approved of, I convinced myself that the teaching had been sound and complete, and that the children had full knowledge of the subjects in which they had been instructed.I consider that the way in which the children conduct themselves whilst in school, and the progress they have made both in Hebrew and religious knowledge, an honor and a credit not only to the children themselves, and to the teachers, and the committee of management, but likewise to the whole Jewish community of this city.The instruction imparted will undoubtedly make the pupils good and useful citizens of the country of their adoption.And if they only keep in mind the moral lessons they have received they should grow up truly religious and law-abiding men and women.\u201d Brief speeches were made by the chair man, Sir William Hingston, Rev.Rabbi Meldola DeSola, Rev.E.deGruchy, Mr, D.A.Ansell and others, the proceedings closing with a vote of thanks to the chairman, the president of the society, etc.The prize list is as follows :\u2014 FIRST INTERMEDIATE.Isaac Flanders, Montefiore Club medal for general proficiency and good conduct.Rosie Rosener, Hirsch memorial medal for Hebrew.Rebecca Pashinkofsky, S.Davis\u2019 memor- al medal for Scripture.Wiilie Genser, silver medal for general proficiency and Hebrew.N.Lubersky, silver medal for general proficiency and Hebrew.Ida Sigler, silver medal for general proficiency and Hebrew.eral proficiency and llebrew.Rebecca Rabinovitch, silver medal general proficiency and Hebrew.Joseph Pashinkofsky, general progress and Hebrew.Eli Crown, Hebrew.Max Schiiefer, spelling.Jacob Rosenberg.drill.Isaac Friedman, singing.Morris Solomon, good conduct, Louis Crown, Hebrew.David Inger, grammar.Isaac Fianders, French.Betsey Usher, regular good conduct.Rebecca Valinsky, home work.Mary Konchensky, French.Rosie Goldner, writing and Hebrew.)

Brave Action of Captain and Four Men.Refused to Overload Boat and Remained to Meet Death on a Sinking Ship.Quebec, June 25.\u2014A sad story of death on the ocean and the noble devotion of a captain and some of his crew was received here yesterday when the steamship Antwerp City arrived up with twelve shipwrecked men on board, the sole survivors Ada Alexandrofsky, silver medal for gen- | tor , of the crew of the barque Magnhild, which : was lost off Newfoundland.On the 9th \u201cinstant the barque Magnhild, of Christi ania, Captain Tolefsen, a wooden vessel ot , 1,461 tons, sailed from Philadelphia with a cargo of 1,800 tons of anthracite for this port.For thirty years she and her cap- .tain have been regular visitors here.Up to the morning of the 21st she experienced | fair weather, but on that day when about seventy miles north of the Bird Rocks, off Newfoundland, she encountered dense i fog, and the vessel lay to.Soon after\u201d | wards a heavy wind from the south-east i raised a big sea and she rolled heavily.Being caught in the trough of the sea the cargo shifted and the vessel turned over on her lee side, being thrown upon her | beam ends.The water came half-way up | the deck, and, as a last resort, the masts : were cut away, but in their fall they erush- | ea two of the boats, and also ripped up the deck.Soon the water entered the | opening and the wet anthracite, as stip: .pery as ice, went even more to leeward.| The captain, considering the position peril.| ous, ordered the long boat, which was i upon the house, and was the only souna ! boat left, to be launched.The men were | al upon the house, and twelve of them entered the boat.When they were seated | the captain refused to embark, and remarked to the other five, who included the first mate : \u201cThe boat will swamp if we go on hoard, and we may as well die here as anywhere.\u201d Seeing that the danger became every moment more imminent the boat reluctantly pulled off under command of the second mate.Ten minutes later the Magnhild gave a heavy lurch and slowly disappeared.The first mate was seen by the boat\u2019s crew clinging to a large hatch, snd an effort was made to reach him.\u2018l\u2019he wind, however, was too heavy and they drifted apart, and were soon separated.This occurred at 1 p.m.Monday, 21st, and \u2018for twenty-four hours the boat tossed | about at the mercy of the waves, \u2018'Lhen the steamship Antwerp City, which was running before the wind, sighted her and picked up the men, turning the boat adrift.Although some of the crew hope that the mate may yet be picked up, others are sure that he was swept off the hatch, Moreover, the officers of the Antwerp City think that other vessels usually pass too far out to even run across him.\u2018The .steamer\u2019's crew state that the long boat, which was the longest of any of her lite- boats, would easily have held the whole eighteen men, but the captain did not wish to risk the lives of the twelve men in it.The missing men, who it is morally cer tain are drowned, are :\u2014Captain T'ollatsen, First Mate H.A.Hansen, Stewart Hans Wickner, Cook Wilhelm Jarsensen, Able Seamen Alex.Sjogren, Carl Carpener.The eurvivors have been taken charge of by the Norwegian Consul here, Mr.Schwartz.They had very little hardship before being rescued.ee etree CHICKEN THIEF SHOT.Syracuse,
