the story was written in Montreal, the MSS.mailed to Quebec, where it was put upon the Great North-Western Telegraph Company\u2019s wires, addressed to La Presse, Montreal.The signature on it was that of a mythical correspondent of that widely circulated journal.And all this was to test the honesty of the telegraph company.\u2018The test was sat- isfactory\u2014not in that it proved that it is dangerous to send news over the G.N.W., but satisfactory because it should terminate an evil which, it is al leged, for a long time past has been a bete noir of the news editors of the daily papers, and to the Montreal correspondents of journals of other cities which look to them for special and exclusive news.By the publication in other journals of the \u201cfake\u201d story about a landslide La Presse has brought to a successful consummation an elaborate plot to entrap the Great North-Western Telegraph Company and to prove it guilty beyond any doubt, The story is an interesting one.It need hardly be told to the public that the one aim of the up-to-date newspaper is to get the news before its rivals\u2014in other words, to get \u201cscoops.\u201d That La - Presse has 4 most =laborate and expensive system for getting good and reliable news is generally admitted, and it was therefore quite heartbreaking to find that night after night their news \u2018\u2018leaked.\u201d No matter how personal an item was, no matter how important, no matter how thorough were the arrangements to prevent any other jour- uals getting the private and personal property of La Presse, it was nevertheless stolen by some one and sent broadcast over the country.La Presse decided to settle the question once and for all.A few evenings ago Mr.Prince, the city editor.sat down in his office, and taking a map of the district of St.Edouard de Lot- biniere, selected a spot that could not be reached inside of many hours\u2019 journeying, and which knew no such luxury as a telegraph station.After a little consideration Mr.Prince evolved this special despatch : The Decoy Despatch.\u201cQuebec, Nov.17.\u2014Terrible accident just happened, immense land-slide at Riviere du Chene, few miles back of St.Edouard, Lotbiniere County.News just brought here some fifty miles distance by a farmer whose horse was played out upon reaching here this morning.The man is awfully excited.I could hardly get any definite statement from him.All he says in cries l=:\u2014\u201cThey are all dead, killed, buried alive.\u2019 He came to notify one of the victim's near relatives, Five families are buried alive.They are:\u2014Hormidas Labaure, wife and four children; Alph Lecler, his father Es- dras, his mother, wife and one child; Louis J.Castonguay, wife and six or seven children and a cousin visitor; Peter Wright and wife and sick brother; Delphis Lemay.The fifth family\u2019s name is Lauser or Lau- \u201cier, father, mother and large family, Landslige covers over ten arpente of land M Width.Houses, people and all at bottom of Riviere du Chene.N eighbors are far distant aad population is very small.Few hands searching for bodies.I reached Quebec early this morning;

T8 of La Presse building, and the des- was then mailed to a ebec, with instructions 10.30 a.m., on Wednes- patch containing the startling news was received at the very desk on which it had been originally written.In Camada there is what is Enown as the \u201cCanadian News Service.\u201d It is owned and operated by the Great North-Western Telegraph Company, and it is for the purpose of supplying th& service with the news of the day that the company steals from private despatches, Nearly all the daily papers subscribe to this service including La Presse, The \u201cspecial\u201d from Quebec arrived, and Mr.Prince awaited developments.Scarce twenty minutes passed when a messenger arrived with an envelope containing a page of \u201cflimsy\u201d Canadian Press matter, It read: \u201cQuebec, Nov.17.\u2014Bulletin\u2014Reports have reached town that five families have been buried alive by a landslide at River du Chene, a few miles back of St.Edouard de Lotbiniere, and that more than forty persons have been killed.Deputy Coroner Garneau has left for the scene of the disaster.\u201d This bulletin was sent of course to every newspaper which takes the service, and La Presses\u2019 great \u201cscoop\u201d was in one short half hour handed over to the newspaper world outside of Montreal as well as in the city.American correspondents got \u201cwires\u201d to get full details and \u201crush\u201d \u201cunlimited\u201d stories.La Presse has noticed an undoubted favoritism for the Montreal Star on the ' part of the G.N.W., and it watched tta ' St.James Street contemporary as it fell into the trap.At night the Star had this report: PERISHED IN A LANDSLIDE.Stated Thay Forty Persons Lost Their Lives\u2014Scene of Catastrophe Near St.Edouard, Lotbiniere\u2014Partial List of the Victims of the Occurrence.(SPECIAL TO THE STAR.) \u201cQuebec, November 17.\u2014Reports have reached here that five families have been buried alive by a landslide at River du Chene, à few miles back of St.Edouard de Lotbiniere, and that more than forty persons have been killed.Deputy Coroner Garneau has left for the scene of the disaster.The scene of the catastrophe is about forty-five miles south-west of here.It is difficult to obtain particulars at this hour, as the only person, who has returned from the sceae of the disaster is f in such an excited condition, that scarcely anything intelligible can be got out of him.So far as can be learned the following famides have been buried in the landslide: Hormisdas Labadie, father, mother and four children; Alphonse Esdras Leclair, father, mother, wife and one child; Cas.tonguay family, composed of eight or \u2018nine persons; family of Peter Wright, father, mother and brother; family of Lozet.These are all whose names are definitely known, but it is known that very many others have perished.The landslide covers a distance of some twenty acres.The victims lived in comparative isolation, tliere being no other inhabitants for some distance around.Those who did not perish in the landslide are working to recover the bodies of those who did.The whole of La Presse\u2019s special despatch also appeared in La Patrie.It will need but [little comparison to show that this \u201cSpecial to the Star\u201d is the same despatch thought out and written by Mr.Prince in the office of La Presse.There was absolutely no means by which the Star could have got that \u201cnews\u201d except by a theft on the part of the Great North-Western Telegraph Company.Ta Presse itself published the following in a later edition: \u2014 A PRETTY CANARD.Taken On The Wing.This Famous Land-slide of the Riviere du Chene.At two o\u2019clock this afternoon, we received from the Great North-Western Telegraph Company, the following despatch: \u2014 \u201cQuebec, 17th November, Bulletin.News has just arrived in this city that five families have been buried alive by a landslide at Riviere du Chene, some miles in the rear of St.Edouard de Lotbiniere, and that more than forty persons have been killed.Deputy Coroner Garneau has left for the scene of the catastrophe.\u201d This despatch was delivered to us by the company in the ordinary course of affairs; it may be expected, consequently, that it will appear in the other papers, those of Montreal as well as of Toronto, etc.As it is of a character to provoke a good deal of disquietude, we hasten to reassure thz public.The news of this pretended landslide is a canard (a fabrication) of the highest flight.In other words, it is a fanciful story, from which La Presse, tomorrow, wili draw some lessons which will be useful to those who believe that they can rely upon these confidential telegraphic messages.\u201d The story of La Presse\u2019s decoy was soon on the \u201cstreet,\u201d and its hasty denial of the truth of the story reached the Star office.The larger part of the edition had been printed and sold.The next best thing was to \u201cchip\u201d the story from the plate, and that is the explanation of five \u2018\u2018sticks\u2019\u201d\u2019 of blank space in a portion of the issue of last night\u2019s Star.That La Presse is congratulating itself À FAKE TELEGRAM.goes without saying.Late last night the following telegram was sent to the editors of well-known newspapers: \u2014 \u201cKindly wire me at our cost, if a telegraph company has a right to communicate, sell or deliver any private despatches wo a third individual, when they are sent by one individual to another.\u2014A.G., Editor La Presse.\u201d Among the answers received were the following: \u2014 The Tribune, New York: \u2014Certainly not unless by delivery you mean the handing over of the despatch to a third party, as the representative of the party addressed; the delivery, for example, of this despatch to your office boy instead of to you per ally.\u201d The manager of the Pacific Postal Tele graph Company: \u2014\u201cNo, uniess by expressed or implied authorization from the send er or addressee.Telegraph companies re gard such telegrams as confidential in the highest degree.\u201d Chicago Times-Herald, Chicago: \u2014*\u201cTele graph compauies aay emphatically private messages cannot be delivered or communicated to a third party.\u201d The Loston Globe, Boston:\u2014\u201cA tele graph company delivers messages to the person addressed or his authorized egent, and to no one else lawfully.\u201d New York Journal, New York:\u2014\u201cAec- cording to the laws of the United States, no.\u201d The manager of the C.P.R.Telegraph Company, Halifax:-\u201cWould be against rules of company and national law.New York Herald, New York:\u2014*Certainly not.\u201d The Sun, New York:\u2014\u201cWe do not know what tlie telegraph laws of Canada are.\u201d .The Chronicle, Quebec: \u2014\u201cIn answer to your enquiry would say that for a telegraph company to communicate.sell or deliver any private despatches to a third individual when they are sent by one individual to another would, in my opinion, be a grave breach of trust warranting a forfeiture of its charter to do business.It is as heinous an offense in law as the deliberate interception of another party\u2019s letters for the purpose \u2018of stealing the contents,\u201d The Boston Post:\u2014\u201cAs we understand the law, the person or company doing what you complain of is not alone liable to criminal action, but Is also liable for damages.\u201d The Free Press, Winnipeg: \u2014\u201cCertainly telegraph company has no right to communicate, sell or deliver special despatches to party for whom mot intended.\u201d The Mail and Empire, Toronto: \u2014\"\u201cTelegram from one party to another over the wire of a telegraph company charging tolls is sacred, and should not be di- vuiged except where it is wo ordered by a court in the interests of justice.\u201d The Ottawa Citizen:\u2014\u201cDecidedly not.Telegram is private property and company is only messenger.Press telegram becomes public property on publication, when not copyrighted.\u201d The manager Anglo-American Qable Company, New York: \u2014\u201cCertainly not unless authorized to do so by sender or re ceiver of despatch.\u201d The Petit Journal, Paris:\u2014\u2018\u201cNo.\u201d The Herald, Baltimore:\u2014\u201cNo.\u201d The Enquirer, Cincinnati:\u2014\u2018\u201cTelegraph authorities here (Western Union) say that company has no right to sell, deliver or communicate private despatches.\u201d The World, New York: \u2014*\u201cYour enquiry should be referred to an attorney.\u201d Tribune, Chicago: \u2014\u2018 Telegraph company has no such right.\u201d The Courier Des Etats-Unis, York:\u2014\u201cNever in any case.\u201d Mr.Powell, manager of the Montreal office of the G.N.W., was called upon by a Herald reporter and asked for his side of the story.He absolutely declined to say one word for publication.\u201cI would lke you to put me straight en this Quebec item,\u201d the newspaper man commenced when Mr.Powell finally appeared.\u201cOh, we'll attend to that all right, thunk you,\u201d that gentleman replied, with} aan air that foreboded a wery short interview, \u201cBut the item came over your wires, didn\u2019t it?\u201d Mr.Powell grew very chilly, \u201cI decline to be interviewed,\u201d he said.That ended it, of course.New Some Comments, The public is not concerned with the private affairs of newspapers, But in this | matter they are concerned.It is a public matter.A telegraph company is a public institution; it uses the public streets, it works under the security of a public franchise, and it is under public as well as private obligations to keep secret its customers\u2019 affairs.Its usefulness is destroyed if its customers cannot be certain that the secrets confided to it are safe and inviolable.It becomes a means of mischief if it allows messages, with which it is entrusted, to become known to anybody except those io whom they are addressed.This is true, as everybody admits, even when, through carclessness or the chance unfaithfulness of some subordinate officer, a company offends against this first principle of the telegraph business.But what is to be said of a company whidh divuiges its customers\u2019 business to their rivals-divulges it not through carelessness, but according to a system; divulgee it not by the chance indiscretion or dishonesty of a subordinate official, but under such circumstances that the higher officials must be held to be accessories.Will it, can it, be called by any milder term than theft?Who are the thieves?There is a side to this matter in which every business man and the whole community are interested.If we chose tn speak from the newspaper point of view, we would have the support of almost every newspaper and newspaper man throughout Canada, when we declared that this exposure is just what common report in newspaper offices about the Great North-Wes- tern Telegraph Company\u2019s methods hag led us to expect.4 \u201cThose who did not perish in the landslide are working to recover the bodies of those who did.\u201d Perhaps it is not true, but this is what the Star \u201cspecial\u201d told us last night.The Star should call off the rescuers.It is most unfeeling conduct to keep the sur vivors at work digging for Hormidas La- bade, et al, and those victims whose names of anxiety in which such a disaster would naturally plunge a Resgliborhood D.oubly unieelimg to keep them working in a piace which does not exist Will te Star call it enterprise or theft.Starry, dear, why not get up a Relief Fund?You haven\u2019t all the faked pews until you have the Star.It must have been a whopper of a landslide, for it reacned the Stars, The Star's \u201cspecial\u201d correspondent evi- dentiy sits in the Montreal office of the Great Nortawestern Teiegraph Company, and thus gets his spedals bot from the Wires, \u201c(Special to the Star.) \u201cQuebec, Nov.17.\u2014Reports have reached here that five famines Lave been bumed alive by a landslide at River du Ohene, ete.\u201d 1t was a \u201cspecial to the Star.\u201d The Star \u201cspecial\u201d told its readers that \u201cDeputy Coroner Garneau has left for the scene of the disaster.\u201d This 1s the very acne of enterprise.Wherever did the \u201cspeciai\u201d get thus interesting fact.It was Dot in what was stolen for viem.Where did they get it.Deputy Coroner Garneau did not go, nor think of going.The Star, we suspect, manufactured it because they supposed that a deputy coroner\u2019s services would be needed.\u201cHormisdas Labadie, father, mother and four children; Alphonse Esdras Leclar, father, mother, wife and one child; Cas tonguay family, composed' of eight or nine persons; family of Peter Wright, father, mother and brother; family of Lozet.These are all whose names are definitely known, but it is known that very many others have perished.\u201d These were all the names that wers i \u201cdefinitely known.\u201d The Star's \u201cspecial\u201d i did not wish to still further weaken con- | fidence in \u2018\u2018specials\u201d by running into indefinite particulars.} Rules for introducing into Canada Amer- ;

The Witness has such a poor ineffectual system of \u201cspecials\u201d that it could not get even the names that were \u201cdefinitely\u201d known.Hormisdas Labadie, father, mother and four children were as though they did not exist.Alphonse Esdras Leclair, father, mother, wife and one child\u2014even the distinction vrhichi arises from the smallness of Alphonse\u2019s family do not reveal him to that unenterprising Witness, Castouguay, Peter Wright, Lozet their families were like so many imaginary pcople.And all that the Witness could do wus to give its readers in its unobtrusive and thus \u201cunenterprising\u201d wey this information printed under the tetegraph company\u2019s stolen bulletin, which proved that they had made honest and intelligent enquiry: \u201cRegarding the above, the Quebec correspondent of the Witness wires as follows: \u201cNothing known of landslide here.Everybody is mystified.There is no such place as River Du Chene near Quebec.\u201d No such place as River du Chene?But the Star had a \u201cspecial\u201d from there.And if there is no such place it iz a mere oversight on the part of Hormisdas Lebadie, Alphonse Esdras Leclair, Monsieur Gaston.guay, Peter Wright, the family of Lozet and the other victims of that catastrophe.Two \u201cSepops.\u201d A \u201cscoop\u201d is essentially a newspaper word.It means a piece \u2018of news which is contained in one paper and not in any other.To the newspaper man the \u201cscoop\u201d is very dear, that is providing it is not on him.The pleasing part of it comes when he gets the scoop on his friends of the other papers, or more properly speaking his constant and deadly enemies.It doesn\u2019t always follow that a newspaper man getting a sccop finds bonuses in his weekly envelope, but it does frequently follow that if he misses a story there is more or less trouble.It perhaps wouldn't have been worth while going into all these details of scoops in general had it not been for the evemts of last night when, sad to relate, The Herald was scooped, and scooped badly.Not only did we neglect to publish a thrilling account (which the telegraph company kindly furnished us with, and which the telegraph editor tossed on the floor) telling of a landslide in which forty people met a terrible death, but we neglected to send a writer and an artist to make a further splurge thereon.It is true that the landslide failed to occur, but what difference was that.The mere fact of The Herald allowing other papers to contain exclusive accounts of the landslide was sufficient to decrease the circulation of the paper more than two copies, and put it into lasting disgrace.Just to think of Hormisdas Labadie, Alphonse Esdras Leclair, hig father, mother and one.child, the Castonguay family, Peter Wright and his aged mother, and others who have never existed being wiped out of existence by a common every-day landslide was too much.We admit the scoop.But the Star had the story in all its thrilling and blood-curdling awfulness, and so great was the effect of the harrowing details upon \u2018the readers of that journal that the story of the disaster had to be scooped from the press in the later editions.That made another scopp on The Herald.Yontinued on Page 8.are uot \u2018\u2019definitely Keown\u201d in wie tever and | SIR OLIVER SWORN IN mere Ontario's Highest Office Now in His Possession, THOSE WHO WERE PRESENT Lord Aberdeen Gave a Dinner Last Night in Honor of the Retiring Lieutenant-Governor.Toronto, Nov.18.\u2014(Special.}\u2014Sir Geo.A.Kirkpatrick completes his term at Government House to-day.Sir Oliver Mowat, his successor, arrived in town last evening, accompanied by his private secretary, Mr.L.J.Burpee, and drove to the Beverley street residence of his son-in-law, Mr.Langton.Sir Oliver was sworn in at Government House au 3 o\u2019clock this afternoon, Mr.John J.McGee, Clerk of the Privy Council, who came up from Ottawa last evening for the purpose, administering the oath of office.Besides His Excellency there were also present Su George A.Kirkpatrick, Premier Hardy and Chief Justice Burton.Lord Aberdeen\u2019s dinner at Government House last evening was given in honor of the retiring Lieutenant-Governor, and this evening His Excellency will tender a similar compliment to the incoming occupant of the gubernatorial mansion, QUEBEC CITY NEWS.New Issue of Stock for the Quebec District Railway Has Been Distributed.Quebec, November 18.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Hon, Edward Blake, M.P., Mr.Cristopher Ro- | binson.Q.C., and A.E.Irving, Q.C., {are in town to attend a meeting of the arbitrators for the settlement of the accounts between the Provinces and the !

ground that it was signed through misapprehension of its import, and that the plaintiff was misled into signing it.Mrs.Taylor, on a recent visit to Toronto, secing her daughter on the street,

Will Drop the Proposal FIGHT IS AGAINST THE COUNCIL LEADERS The Flood of Indignant Protest Against Project Continues Unabated\u2014The Aldermen who are Reserving Their Opinions Should Speak Before their Constituents Lose Patience.mane The petition to the Mayor and aldermen calling upon them to preserve to the people the use of Victoria square and to thereby establish the principle that such breathing spots should be held inviolate under all circumstances should be liberally signed by all classes of the people of Montreal.There should be no disagreement in such an emergency, for once it is established as a principle that the aldermen are at liberty to negotiate for the closing of parks and squares of this kind, the door will be opened to the introduction of all sorts of similar projects.In the development which Montreal is expected to witness in the next few years we may expect to have any number of propositions of a like nature made by enterprising corporations.No park in the city and no other civie property is safe if this deal is allowed to be consummated.The petitions should, therefore, be signed by people in all parts of Montreal irrespective of distance from or direct personal interest in the square itself.It is as well to reflect at this stage that this resistance to the abandonment cf Vie- toria square does not canstitute a quarrel between the pcople and the Grand Trunk Railway Compeny.On the contrary, the evident desire of the management to get into closer touch with Montreal\u2019s business interests is a sign of the times which everyone will welcome.As a mere matter of business, and without any reference to the moral aspect of the case, the company cannot be blamed for desiring to accomplish their intention.The company is blameless in just the same degree as a man who, requiring an overcoat in this cold weather, announces to a clothier that he wants the best coat in stock and that he must receive it as a gift or do without a coat.The merchant behind his counter would have little trouble in making up his mind when $20 or $30 was involved.Ie should have no more hesitation when it is a matter of parting with what is undoubtedly his share in a property worth more than a quarter of a million dollars.He should sign the petition to the Mayor and alderinen, and by all other means in bis power make them understand that they are to be held responsible for the \u2018honorable discharge of the trust he has reposed in them.To their honor be it said a larger number of the aldermen have already and practically without hesitation anmounced themselves as opposed to the project of closing the square.But there are stiil several of them who find themselves able to defer a decision because their constitu- | ents have not pressed the matter home to them.They are waiting to hear from their constituents.They say so publicly.If 1s not an exalted view for a public man to take of his responsibilities, it is true, and the men who plead this excuse at such a time are of questionabla service to the people who elect them, but there is the situation and the people are obliged to face it.Unfortunately the men who have lent their countenance to the outrageous proposal, either by actually expressing approval of it, or by shirking that condemnation of it which is their self-evident duty, are commonly looked upon as leaders of the Council, and their silence gives some warrant to the others.The Mayor, who is understood to be opposed to the scheme, feels constrained not to say so openly.Much as The Herald 1s pleased at being able to believe that His Worship is opposed to the closing of the square, we cannot feel that in waiting for the meeting of Council to express his views the Mayor is doing all that the people might reasonably expect of him in this crisis.His gilence in some degree warrants the aldermen who desire to do so in withhoiding the expression of their judgment.Ald.Prefontaine, chairman of the Roads Committee, openly favors the proposition, Ald.Boausoleil does likewise.Ald.Rainville, chairman of the Finance Committee, steadfastly refuses to indicate his position, notwithstanding that he is in many respects the official guardian of \u2018he city\u2019s assets.If anything, the attitude of those who, in the face of public opinion, actually and openly approve the proposition, while it is quite shameless, ig less repre- hensible than the silence of those others \u2014 who are looked to as guides in difficult cases.Lhe people must see that if from motives of their own the leaders of Council are either in favor of the scheme or defiantly silent, there is only one recourse left, and.that is the insistent demand of the peopla that their representatives shall get on ve record at once in opposition to the closing of the sqgmre, leaving the pseudo-leaders to themselves and their motives, Personal suasion is the best means to this end.The elections are at hand for one thing.But as it is not in the power of every man to personally remonstrate With his representative, the next best [thing to do is to sign the petitions whi ch demand the rejection of the project.Let il be borne in mind that the Grand Trunk want the Square much more than any business man wants to give it; that very few business men and no other citizens want to part with the square; that the persistent defiance of public opinion by the aldermen is the greatest menace to the people\u2019s interests, and let the petitions be signed by all.WHAT IS BEING SAID BY CITIZENS.Rev.Dr.Ker.Rev.Dr, Ker, rector of Grace Church, favors the giving of this site to the Grand Trunk Railway, Dr.Ker says the Grand Trunk Railway has been the making of Montreal; that for long and many a year it was the only railway entering the city, and that, had it not been for the Grand Trunk, this city would be to-day & much smaller place than it is, Common gratitude should suggest not only liberal but generous treatment of the Grand Truni by the citizens of Montreal.Ex-Ald.Cunningham.Ex-Ald.Cunningham\u2014\u201cAs a proprietor of property with considerable interest in the city I think that the removal of the offices to the square would be fa benefit to the landlords of St.Lawrence Ward, but I am not an favor of giving a publie square.1 think there are other sites thas might be used for that purpose, and if necessary I would not even object to the city buying a site for the company, providing they would erect such a building as that shown in the cut in The Herald.I was, when in the Council, an advocate of concentrating all the factories, if possible, inside the city limits.lids \u201cannoying to see little towns outside granting bonuses to manufacturing concerns in order to get our factories away\u2014this depopulates the city, and is a serious loss.By bringing right into town such corporations the value of property must be increased.In any case, if the city wants to give a site, let the G.T.R.pay a reasonable tax, Mr.H.E.McIntosh.Mr.H.E.Melntosh told The Herald man this morning that he certainly would OLpose such a move as the bonding over of Victorta Square to the Grand Trunk, \u201cIf the Grand Trunk wish to move their offices into the city,\u201d said Mr.McIntosh, \u201cthey should be willing to purchase a site.It would not be any extraordinary convenience for us business meu.There are very few occasions when we are forced to go out to their present offices for business purposes.I think it would be out- éigeous to give the railway this square.It would, of course, be à great advantage to the Grand Trunk themselves.And outside of a few interested parties, you will find the majority of business men in Montreal opposed to it.Mr.Linton\u2019s excellent letter in this morning\u2019s paper is practically an expression of my own feel- igs in the matter.I do not think the city has even the right to give a public square to the Grand Trunk Company oi to any other company, I agree with tht stand which The Herald has taken.\u201d A WORD TO COL.STEVENSON.\u201cNo Grabber\u201d writes :\u2014Col.Stevenson proposes to give part of Victoria square to the Grand Trunk Railway Company.From this action he must be intending to leave the aldermanic chair, as certaimly if he votes that way he need never come before the electors again.The citizens, as also \u2018the laboring class, wili come out en masse to the polls and put down all such who try to encroach on their rights.Perhaps, as a loyal colonel, he will give the Queen's statue to be hoisted on the root if Mr.Hays were to ask it.a BURIED THEIR SON.On Wednesday morning the three-and-a- half year old son of Mr.and Mrs, John O'Day, of Montreal, was buried in the Catholic Cemetery at Swanton, Vt., after a

error from which several of his predecessors in the command of the Canadian militia were mot free\u2014that of applying Old World standards of criticism to the voluniteery, forces of the Dominion.It is to De J that the still more serious mistake of forming conclusions on insufficient information, and acting there- un, has not also been committed by him.That he has eriticized in a harsh manner the 66th Princess Louise Fusiliers, on the ground that ome-half to two-thirds of the regiment are army-reserve men, when not more than forty out of a total enrollment of 150, ave members of the army reserve, is the charge now laid at the General\u2019s door.The question is so wholly one of fact, the truth of which is so easily determined, that it is difficult to believe that the commander-in-chief would have ventured his criticism if the case were, as is stated on behalf of the regiment.Judgment om his action should therefore be withheld until further knowledge of the facts are available.The Canadian militia service is mot to be improved by applying to it the standards of efficiency of the regular army, and holding officers and men to account for any serious departure from that standard.The military spirit is not strong In Canadians.There is not in this country that constant pressure of conviction that there is in England that the day may come when by our arms our rights must be defended.Our volunteers make very considerable sacrifices of time and labor for the sake of the service, and while they do not ask for compliments from- the commander-in- chief, they have a right to expect that criticism shall not be umduly harsh, but shall be tempered by a realization of the difficulties of the situation.A GREAT PUBLIC CHARACTER.With the retirement of Sir Oliver Mowat from political life this week there draws to its close a career in many respects the riost remarkable in Canadian (history.That he may now assume the duties of Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario Sir Oliver leaves the political arena of party politics in which for more than a.quarter of a century his name has never been found among the vanquished.He leaves active political life without a stain upon his escutcheon.After a life-time spent among politicians no man thinks of imputing to him any of the baseness or the dishonesty too often associated in the public mind with the conduct of party politics.Of the high repute he had earned while a judge Le has lost nothing but has added so greatly thereto that for many years his name will be used as a synonym for honesty and capacity in the administration of a people's revenue.As a legislator he has lived up io the very spirit of democratic institutions, adding to the statute book much that was needful in its season, laws that have not been nor will be repealed, because they are \u2018broad based upon a people's will.\u201d Mr.Blake has quite recently referred to the occasion of Sir Oliver\u2019s return to public life.Mr.Blake was then Premier of Ontario; and \u2018had just performed one of those acts cf gelf-sacnifice which seem to be aa easy for him as they ame impossible for most men.As Premier of Ontario he car- vied through an act making it illegal for himself and others to retain their seats botlt at Toronto and Ottawa.This done te decided to abandon his position as Premier and to accept a subordinate place in \u201cthe Opposition at Otiawa.He was naturally requested, when tendering his resig.natiôn, to suggest the name of some one who might undertake the formatiqn of a Government.With very evident satisfaction Mr.Blake told of his namirg a man viho was not in public life, who had not been engaged in politics for several years, who was fast acquiring high honor as a judge, tthe sphere of life for which he seemed to be altogether suited; of how his cpponents had challenged the selection as degrading the bench, and an affront to the-men already in public life; and finadly how Ontario had again and again approved and justified the choice he had then made, sccuring to Sir Oliver a length of rule unexampled in the history of constitutional government, Success is stamped indelibly upon every year and every period of the time that has since elapsed.Not in Ontario alons but in the other Provinces of the Do.rrimion the name of Mowat has been one to conjure with.When now at the age of nearly four-score years he takes his place ns the representative of Her Majesty in the administration of tne Province of Ontario there is no honest heart but finds him worthy of all honor.It is not a little thing to have so guided the legislation of Ontario for a quarter of à century that no aults of commission or of omission can be charged against him.Canadians will, withe cut exception, hope the new Lieutenant- Kiovernor may be spared to witness that \u20188ome consideration to Canada.same thing.know that the Parisian will call both and taking others to England, development of Canada which the not remote future is expected to evolve, and to secure and prepare for which his long public life has been devoted.+ NOTES AND COMMENTS.If there is anything of which Sir Charies Tupper was not the Great First Cause he won\u2019t acknowledge the fact, A Winnipeg contemporary considers that ib is in Quebec that the fight over the Manitoba school question should be revived.Excuse us.Mr.Tarte is still on the wing.His knowledge of harbor matters is not being gatihered from musty records drawn from departmental pigeon-holes, Sir Charles Tupper is reported as confessing to a representative of the New York Sun thet Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2019s visit to Washington was caused by Sir Charles\u2019 speech in the Commons when the Canadian \u2018preferential tariff was announced.So Sir Charles is the real annexationist.Sir Charles Tupper told an American newspaper reporter that Sir Wilfrid Laurier went to Washington because he (Sir Charles) told him he should go.Those Conservative papers-that have been criticising the Premier for his Washington visit should put the blame where it belongs.By the way, isn\u2019t it risky for Sir Charles to go away and leave the Dominion without anybody to direct the Premier what to, do, and where to go ?The Gazette's readers are protesting against that ome solitary labyrinthine editorial which it published favoring the giving of Victoria square to the Grand Trunk.It appears that even a \u201ctherefore\u201d and \u201chowever\u201d article like the one in question cannot be published with impunity.The Star is wiser.It shows its friendship to the railway company by not saying a word either way.But as between the two papers what is the difference?As between the citizen who holds the dark lantera while burglars steal his neighbors\u2019 property, and the other citizen who stands by and does not give any alarm, the difference is not great.vera FAR FROM FAILURE.The Canadian Representatives Accomplished.All That Could be Expected of Them at Washington.Washington, Nov.18.\u2014The officers of the State Department were very much surprised at the reports of the total failure or the Canadian negotiations which appeared to-day in several morning papers.One of them said: \u201cThat view is not taken by the Government in Washington.The representatives of the Canadian Govera- ment who have just left this city did not come to Washington with any expectation ct concluding any arrangement or treats during their brief stay.They entertained views upon the question of the sealing regulations and hoped to acquire accurate information as to the views of our Government upon the remaining questions which their preceding Government in Canada had failed to adjust.The only fact correctly stated in the publications referred to is that under the favorable influences prevailing the seal experts agreed upon a report.This report will furnish a good basis for further action.It goes without saying that Canada is not disposed fo make w concession upon the seal question without What such reciprocal concession or concessions are is a question not yet disposed of, but continuing under consideration.There has not been the slightest check to the negotiations further than the inevitable delay The Canadian representatives were hos- in the settlement of the sealing question.pitably received, frankly talked with and participated in a free anad frank discussion.\u201d The official added: \u201cIf ever the irritating questions can be removed between the two countries (meaning the United States and Can&da) they can be disposed of under the administrations now charged with the con- duet of affairs in the United States and Canada.\u201d NO TRUTH IN IT.Report That Allan and Dominion Lines Would Call at Halifax Subsidy or no Subsidy.Regarding the repont that the Allan and Dominion lines would call at Haiifax, although they got no subsidy, Mr.Torrance said yesterday that there was no truth whatever in the rumor.In the spring, when the passenger traffic was commencing, if there were enough passengers who wished to land at Halifax, they might call, but not otherwise.It would be costly fun to call there during the winter.Mr.Andrew Allan said practically the \u201cOf course,\u201d he added, \u201cyou ways on her first trip taking troops.there Further than that there is no truth in the rumor.\u201d R &

a Lot of People IN SATURDAYS MATCH, Seawanhaka\u2019s Challenge Accepted \u2014 - Skating Association Meeting\u2014Vic- toria Hockey Club\u2014Other Sports.Will those people and papers outside of Montreal, in discussing the final match for the Dominion Rugby championship, kindly mention that \u2018there is at least a remote possibility of the McGill team being Hamilton\u2019s competitor?Everyone takes it for granted that Ottawa College is going to play with the Tigers here on Thanksgiving Day, and the bare possibility of McGill winning next Saturday has not been even hinted at.However paramount the university at the foot of the mountain, there is a feeling that \u2018the McGill football team is very much in it and this feeling will grow to a certainty when, the referee blows his whistle at the end of the match at Ottawa next Saitur- day.The McGill players are practising hard, and will be ready for the battle of their lives on Saturday.Young, at quarter.is showing up well, and, while he is not expected to be as good as Davidson, he will be well able to fill the position, and he can be banked upon io be valuable to his team.The scrimmage has been strengthened up, and will be ready for the big College trio.The wings of McGill are better than those of College, and the back divisions are about equal.In fact, there is no reason in the world why Me- Gill should not defeat College on Saturday, and there are many who think {hey will.The Montreal wings were weak last Saturday, and at that College won by only one point.With wings like those of McGill against them, and other things being equal, College will probably find that if they come here on Thanksgiving Day it will be in the capacity of speetators and not as players.So don\u2019t forget that McGill is in it to the bitter end.The team will be accompanied to Ottawa by a large number of friends, as the game will undoubtedly be the best the Quebec League will see this season, the Thanksgiving game not excepted.Neither team will engage in rough work, as it will be careful to lay no men up for the final game five days later.The team winning at Ottawa will have to keep its men intact to win against the Tigers.Footballers will 1ead with pleasure the dispatch on this page to the effect that Osgoode\u2019s protest against the Hamilton Tigers has not been allowed.The Osgoode people did some pretty small thing in connection with the protest, and it is to their eredit that they are somewhat ashamed of themselves.The Tigers have played a good sportsmanlike game all season and the string of protests filed against them every time they were defrated invoked for them the sympathy of all unintereste® patrons of the game.It is satisfactory to note that they are safely out of the Ontario jungle.In their prowling around here on Thanksgiving Day they will be treated well.There will be a mauntain bigger than the famous one that ma ks the site of their town, right in view of the grounds and no protest will be filed against them after the game.There won't be enough of them left.Captain Gleeson is justly indignant at the statement a Hamilton paper credits to Captain McGiverin of the Ottawa City Club.His letter in another column is none foo strong and Mr.McGiverin cannot very well hold his peace.He should either deny the charge that he expressed the views attributed to him or apoligize for them.Such a statement made against any feam is outrageous.AND NOW, LOOK OUT, Hamilton Tigers Are Safely Out of Ontario Jungle and Are Licking Their ©Chops for the Quebec Morsel.Toronto, Ont, Nov.18\u2014(Special.)\u2014The O.R.F.U.last night disallowed Osgoode Halls protest and the Tigers are now the undisputed Rugby champions of Ontario, end as such will meet the Quebec Union champions for the Canadian championship in Montreal on Thanksgiving Day.The affidavits, about fifty in number, simply showed that crowds were on the field and it was dark, that time was overspent twenty minutes, that timekeeper Duke Collins was incompetent, and had money on the game.Walter Dick is exonerated bv Osgoode.Delegate E.G.Osler read the affidavits and then Captain Courtney King- stone was called in and dwelt on the evidence and on the fact that Osgoode did not protest on the grounds of cash lost by backers.The evidence submitted showed that Duke Collins was an incompetent timekeeper, and had gone around talking against Osgoode.He had played the last ten minutes of the game under protest, and had so informed Referee Pope.The erowds and darkness were awful.He called for a verdict on the evidence.Timekeepers Collins and Dick were then heard, and both denied the contents of the affida- vita, Mr.Dick was told by the Osgoode delegate, Mr.Osler, that the evidence cteared him, and no mention of him was in it.Then the Union got down to business, Mr.Darcy Martin asked the chmip to rule if the protest was in order; he claimed al} the protests were questions of fact, The cnair ruled questions of crowds and dark.nese ont nf nvdor, ne 54 weng all n aneation of fact.The discussion then was ag to the time, and the vote was at hand.A meo- tion by Mr.Osler to play the game over was voted down by five to three.For the motion, Messrs.Osler, Jones and Easson.oleman\u2019s CELEDRATED DAIRY, HOUSEHOLD AND FARM PAOMPY SHIPMENT GUARANTERD CANADA SALT ASSOCIATION CLINTON.ONT.6 \u2014\u2014 At > 3e 2.atl - Against, Messrs, Counsell, Martin, Gilmour, Moncrieff and Fitzgibbons.\u2018The motion to throw out the protest was carried by five to three, by the same voters.The Osgoode people were a bit ashamed of some of the grounds of their protest, and dropped them when it came to their consideration.Such a point as the referee\u2019s failure to declare the result had no foundation, and in fact was so small that the Union threw it out at once.Nothing was considered except the allegations that the timekeepers were interested in the result and this was settled by the unanimous vote of the executive moved by Mr.Jones and seconded by Mr.Moncrieff, both law school men.Previous to the consideration of Os- goode\u2019s protest the charge of professionalism against Ripley, of the Hamilton team, was taken up, and Ripley was acquitted.*Varsity II was suspended.until the club pays London\u2019s expenses amounting to $41.This is the official statement of receipts and expenses in connection with the game at Rosedale last Saturday: Receipts, $1,304; expenses, £192.Each team gets $445, and the Union $222.GETTING BACK AT HIM.Capt.Gleeson,the Beau Brummell ofthe Gridiron, Has Something to Say of CEPT, ILCUIVOLIN 8 SUALEMONLS.Ottawa, Nov.17.\u2014The bitter agitation created over the recent toolbaly suspension has nol abated in we least.if anythang, the rivalry aud bitterness between College and Ottawa City and their admirers PE keener than ever, and, as a consequence, stories wüich rellect on the local ifteen, but of which the club\u2019s promoters are utterly innocent, are in circulation.To-day 1t was hunted unat Ottawa would anono- polize both railways, in order to deprive College or the benerits that might be derived from an excursion to Montreal on Thanksgiving Day, where, it is almost a foregone conclusion, College will have to go to play for the Dominion dhainpicnship.Not a man in the Ottawa team ps cessed to know anything of the report, and there 1s reason to believe it may have emanated from u Hamilton despatch in which Hal McGiverin, the Ottawa, captain, is credited witit \u2018bringing 150 rooters to Montreal to cheer for rlamilton.ln the same despatch certain statements are attributed to Mc- Giveriu which are a gross libel on the College teaan.Captain Gleeson resents these in the following letter; \u2014 \u201cThe following message was sent to the Montreal Star in reply to a paragraph which appeared in last evening s issue: \u2014 \u2018Perhaps no better evidence could be olier- ed of the scoundrelly spirit that animates certain disappointed footballers than the despatch published in yesterday\u2019s Star, and credited to Mr.McGiverin, captain of the Ottawa Football Club, in which occurs the following sentence: \u2014 \u2018Mr.MecGiverin expresses the belief that Ottawa College will beat MoGill, and will also beat Hamilton, not because Ottawa College people can play better football, but because they will disable Hamilton\u2019s best players right at the outset.\u201d If Mr, McGiverin or any responsible person will dare to repeat this false, cowardly and unutterably mean charge, and will attribute it to any specilied player or Players of the Ottawa College Club, he shall be given an immediate op- | portunity of proving his statement.In tine | past three years Ottawa College has played ( final matches for Provincial or Canadian championship with Montreal, Queen\u2019s and Toronto University.In none of these games was a single player on either side obliged to leave the field through being disabled.The charge which Mr.McGiverin is reported to have made is nothing more than the cruelest, most prejudiced anl most cowardly kind of slander.* (Signed), E.P.GLEESON, \u201cCaptain Ottawa College 1*.B.C.\u201d The general opinion here is that the Ot- tawus will hardly go to Toronto Saturday to meet Osgoode.One of the possibilities, however, is a visit from Osgoode on Thanksgiving Day.This story that Hamilton would revolt against College and not play for the championship in Montreal when they are in duty bound to do so, unless Oollege and Hamilton otherwise agree 10 play in Ottawa, is considered ridiculous.That an attempt was made to have Ham.\u2018ilton do something of the kind is not denied, for such a scheme was freely discussed last night among Ottawa Club supporters.Apart from Gleeson\u2019s resentment of the remarks attributed to McGiverin from Hamilton, College is saying nothing, but doing the best they can to get in form for Saturday.When McGill comes to Ottawa, one of the best matches of the season is expected, as every football enthusiast knows that for years McGill and College have played games which were always remarkable for brillianey, and the best of good feeling exists between them.College [is working indoors, but may be able to turn out on the campus before Saturday, now that the snow has disappeared \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 AS PATIENT AS JOB.How Hundreds of Students Waited Their Turn to Buy Tickets for the Yale-Harvard Game.The great game of football between Harvard and Yale on Saturday resulted in a score for neither side.This result was not unexpected, for some of the closest and keenest observers of the powers and practices of both teams, before the game was played, would express no opinion as to the result.One of the features was the extraordinary interest which this game of football developed.Every available bit of space from which the piay could be seen was filled, and every seat on the ground was taken à week ago.Phe sale of reserved seats commenced on the morning of Saturday, 6th instant, and at nine o'clock on the previous Thursday night the line of purchasers began to torm in front of the ticket office, and was maintained through Thursday night, Friday and Friday might until the opening ot tihe office on Saturday morning and al! that day.It ds not uncommon for the line ot ticket purchasers to form the night betore, but its formation two nights before was a novelty.The line stretched along sidewalks, across avenues, through the college yard and around the buildings.A system of relays prevailed amoung the different classes, so that men in the line could be relieved for meals whenever tired nature gave out.There they stood or sat, mut- fled up to the ears, in nvinter coats, at- ghans, sweaters, blankets and wraps of all kinds.One of the papers moted as No.19 in the line the son of the Governor ot Massachusetts.As the day wore away many devices were introduced to rest the waiting men, and Morris chairs, rickety camp «chairs, rocking chairs, steamboat chairs, were introduced, and later on beds were brought out for the night, and many slept or tried to do so.\"The studious men were occupied over every conceivable task \u2014drafting out electrical, devices, reading \u201cQuo Vadis,\u201d \u201cJevons\u2019 Logic,\u201d \u201cDiana of the Crossways,\u201d and Cooper's noveis, Une enterprising man got out his table, student\u2019s lamp and books, and made an impression by grinding out his lessons far the morrow.Of course, this all-night work made men hungry, and the night lunch carts as they drove along sold out ther stock many times.Flarirg torches of ail kinds along the line added to the weirdness of the scene, a scene which, take it Lor all and all, was unparalleled.Of course, there is something more than a ridiculous seats.In the first place a sense of honor is developed along the line, and no man would attempt to take any advantage ot his meighbor.There is developed, too, a patient, enduring and persistent feeling which will do many a man service in the trials of his life.And, of course, the long line of waiting men developed strongly m almost everybody who saw it a desire to witness the contest.Speaking generally, almost everybody who saw the sight would feel a strong desire to get even a glimpse of a struggle which so many men were making a determined effort to view from a favorable position.Probably there were thirty thousand witnesses of Saturday's play.HERE'S A CHANCE.There are a whole lot of football players in the Highwayman Opera Company that holds the boards at the Academy next week.They are anxious to take on some aggregation of Montreal players and ale not particular as to size and conditioms.They want to play, as they like the game and will donate the proceeds to some charitable institution.Aong the players in the company\u2014there are 38 people in it altogether\u2014are Jerome Sykes and Harry McDonough, the two comedians; Joseph O'Mara and Reginald Roberts, the two tenors, V.Wheeler, Geo, O'Donnell, Max Freeman, Harry Stinmann, Frank Wil- Lams and others, who would be able to give a good account of themselves.If there is any enterprising football club that wishes to be annihilated it can get a match by writing to the sporting editor of The Herald.This is a good chance for one of the years at McGill to show what it can do on the gridiron.The Highwayman people will play either the American or Canadian game.THEY WANT TO SEE.Philadelphia, Pa., October 17.\u2014The advance scale of seats for the University of Pennsylvania-Harvard football game, whidh takes place at Franklin Field on Saturday, has been unprecedented.The indications are that over 25,000 persons will witness the great struggle.New Haven, Conn., November 17.\u2014It is believed that the top motch was reached in the speculation for tickets to the Yale- Princeton game this morning.A few seats were sold for $12, The prevailing price is $10 for $2 seats amd $5 for $1.50 positions.Nearly every leading hotel of this city has every room emgaged for the crowds coming.In many cases prices have been raised in anticipation of a rush, PUNTS AND ROUGES.Princeton realizes that the coming game with Yale will be a tough one, and are training accordingly.Unless postponed until the following Saturday the match for the Dominion championship will be played here a week from to-day.The Hamilton Spectator says: \u201cIn protesting that game, the Osgoode Hall law- yerets merely manifested the legal instinct which prompta them to appeal a lost case.\u201d There is no danger of the Hamilton Tigers entertaining Captain McGiverim's peculiar idea of having the Tigers and Ottawa City team play off for the Dominion championship.Present indications are that the anti- football crusade will reach its climax a number of days after the close of the pigskin game without scoring a single touch down, A prominent Princeton coach says that Yale\u2019s rush line is much better in every way than Princeton\u2019s, but that the Tigers\u2019 backs are superior to Yale\u2019s, and that Princeton also has an advantage in the kicking department.The action of the Quebec Rugby Unian in suspending the Ottawa Club does not meet with approval in Brockville.The Ottawa players are nearly all avell known there, and it is not believed that they were so muclr more guilty than other clubs that they deserved suspension.Quite a discussion has arisen in England over the wearing of buckles on shin-guards.Everyone knows the rule relating to nails, etc., projecting, and doubtless soma damage, if nol very great, can be done to a player\u2019s face or head by the brass buckle of a shin-guard.At the last meeting of the Consultative Committee of the Football Association it was held that buckles on shin-guards were distinctly illegal.Alderman Plotke, the Chicago alderman who proposes to prohibit football in the Windy City, made quite a spectacle of himself at the Chicago-Wiscensin game on Saturday.Ie made frequent comment on the plays and took copius notes for reference.After the game he said that he was more firmly than ever of the opinion that football was brutal and should be forbidden in civilized communities.The Ottawa delegates who attended the last Quibec Union meeting which suspended the Ottawas intend to make a full statement at the Ottawa A.A.C.meeting on Thursday night.This will include a lot of information that has not previously come to light and it is said will show conclusively that the action of the union was not done on the spur of ithe moment, but was previously arranged for dome time.THE KENNELL.THE COLLIE SHOW.The Intelligent Canines Will be on Exhibition in Evans\u2019 Hall Tomorrow and Saturday.\u2014\u2014\u2014 The first exhibition of collie dogs under the auspices of the Canadian Collie Club takes place to-morrow \u2018and\u2019 Saturday in the Evans Hall, corner of Inspector street and Chaboillez Square.It will be seen by the list of entries given below the exhibition will be a successful one as far as dogs are concerned.All that remains to make it a success in other ways is the liberal patronage of the publie.The show will be a splendid one, and one of the most interesting kennell shows ever given in Canada.Mr.John Allan has donated a handsome silver mounted umbrella for the best black, tan and white collie in the show.The financial success of the show now depends entirely on the weather clerk, but no doubt he will favor the club on this, its first venture.Following is the entry list:\u2014 (Mags No.1.\u2014Veteran dogs\u2014Rev.Dr.A.B.Mackay, Prince Charlie; Mr.Frank S.Foster, Auchecairnie

SKATING.SKATERS MEET.The Annual Meeting of the Skating As sociation Held Last Evening\u2014Will Affiliate With A.A.A.of C.pod The annual meeting of the Amateur Skating Association of Canada was held in the M.A.A.A.Club House last evening.There was a good attendance.The chair wus occupied by Major Freeman, as the president was absent.The principal feature of the business transacted was the decision of the Association to afliliate with the Amateur Athletic Association of Can- tda, thereby strengthening the latter organization\u2019s hands.The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Hon.president\u2014Lieut.-Col.¥.C.Hen.shaw.President\u2014W.G.Ross.First vice-president\u2014Major Freeman.Second vice-president\u2014J.A.Taylor.Hon.secretary-treasurer\u2014Louis Ruben- stein.Oouncil\u2014H.Montagu Allan, T.L.Paton, David J.Watson, W.P.Irwin, F.B.Irwin, W.G.Robertson, O.E.Stanton.The annual report was presented as follows: Gentlemen,\u2014The council of the Amateur Skating Association of Canada takes great pleasure in presenting to you their report for the past year\u2014a year of great importance to the association on account of the holding of the world\u2019s championship races under our auspices.At the last annual meeting we had the pleasure of reporting that we had received permission from the International Skating Union to hold the world\u2019s speed skating championships, both amateur and pro fessional.This meeting was held on the large open-air rink of the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association, on Friday and Saturday, 5th and 6th February, and can be termed ene of the greatest skating events ever held in the world.After a great deal of correspondence and trouble on the part of the president and the sercetary, entries were secured from three of the fastest European amateurs, viz., Julius Seyler, of Davoz, Switzerland, the amateur champion of Europe, and Alfred Nass and M.Lordahl, of Christiana, Norway, the former being holder of the 500 metre amateur record and champion ship.We are greatly indebted to these gentlemen coming so great a distance to uphold the honors of their countries, and they proved themselves \u201cfoemen worthy of their steel.\u201d Nass again proved his prowess in the 500 metre race, winning it in 46 4-5 seconds, and thereby equalling his previous world\u2019s record.Lordahl, although not so fast as his countrymam, 1s also a great skater, and will likely be heard of again in the way of breaking re cords.Seyler, unfortunately, owing to his late arrival, had not recovered from the effects of his voyage, and did not show up to advantage; nevertheless he proved to be an exceptionally fast mam, with wonderful endurance.The prominent Canadian amateurs who competed with the Europeans were :\u2014J.K.McCullodh, of Winnipeg; John Davidson, of Toronto; W.H.Merritt, of Nt.John; Thos.Moore, of Montreal, and a number of others.According to the rules of the International Skating Union, the world\u2019s championship is awarded to the competitor winning three out of the four events, and J.K.McCulloch, upheld Canad; by winning the 1,500, 5,000 and metre events, and the Proud ti) world\u2019s amateur champion for 1897 ot the special medal of the Interna); and Skating Union, emblematic of the ru Dhis medal was duly received by he retary and forwarded to Mr, MeVulloon The champion\u2019s performances were wa darful, and the ovation ihe received : ou the popularity of his victory.Proved The professional events Were No Jag : teresting than the amateur races and a following well-known flyers compet the John Nilleon, Olaf Rudd, Joe Dopagy Harley Davidson, Howard P.Mosher ue, W.T.Letts.Nillson was the star of oy aggregation, and won each of the 5 events, viz, half mile, one mile than miles and five miles.These races y oe all yell contested, but Nillson wag good for the rest of the field.Hugs.Davidson and Donaghue were good » onds, but none of them could

had been run under our rule, however y is altogether probable that faster time + t made by this method of skating, The management of the M.A.A.A.Rin} deserve our congratulations for having t; \\ track 1n the best possible condition (eg ae ally as che weather was rather wn i able) and the rink was prettily decorai.i with numerous flags and bunting, ° Owing to the lack of entries, no figur skating championship was held this year and we regret to notice the declining interest in this department of s ating.I: is surprising that there are none but loca] competitors for this event, and we hope that next year we will be able to Téport 3 revival in figure skating.During the las two years this association has offered Prizes for junior, green and senior championships but even these inducements do not attract competition, and while we in Canada should have the finest figure skaters in the world it will not be surprising if the Americans should caputre this championship in the future, as it is rapidly gaining favor in New York and other American.cities, On the evening of the 6th February, à very pleasant dinner vas held at the Windsor Hotel by the members of this AFSocia.tion and the officials and competitors of the meeting, when the prizes won during 10,009 get Way Ww Mange.© Wag Continued on Page 7.Ci +++.\" +.Purse-Looseners for Friday and Saturday Cloak Department.LAST FRIDAY

winners.During the evening, the secretary, Ar.Louis Rubenstein, was the recipient of a handsome diamond pin, presented by ihe association as a token of appreciation of his services.Another pleasing feature of the dinner was the speeches made by Messra, Seyler, Nass and Lorhah!, who thunked the association for their kindness while in Montreal.The presence of Mr.Sam.Montgomery, of New York, sec- retary-treasurer of the National Skating Association, with his remarks on skating, was loudly dheered.oo The thanks of the association are due to Mr.J.Schultze, whose assistance \u2018was invaluable in the way of translating tue European correspondence, and acting 1s interpreter for the foreigners, also to Mr.| E.H.Brown, secretary-treasurer of the MA AA, for the assistance given the secretary in the management of the meeting.1, Recently an invitation was received from the International Skating Union, requesting that we should send a delegate to the annual meeting to be theld in Copenhagen, but the secretary replied that it would be impossible to send one this year.As will be seen by the statement of tha treasurer, the finances of the association are in a very satisfactory shape.The whole respectfully submitted, LOUIS RUBENSTEIN, Hon.Sec.-Treas., A.8.of C.\u2014 THE CRYSTAL RINK.Secing that the football season is about over skating is assum.ng the principal talk in athletic circles, and if the predicted cold ivave shows itself the enthusiasts of Montreal will take advantage of the opportunities afforded by the Crystal Rink which will, without dobut, be.the first open this coming season.Mr.Sam Rok- ertson, vhe propri tor, has been working on the ring for the last two weeks and ho is exerting eve'y effort to have it in readiness for Thanksgiving Day, November 95.For ten days water has been sprinkl- el on the rink with snow, s'nee (he latter made its appearance.The well-known Crvstal rink will not be used for senior hoi key matches this season in any slime or form as the proprietor intends to devote all evenings to skating.An efficient band will be in attendance every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday eve ing and Sat- nrday afternoon as well.The usu-l mas querades will be one of the principal features of the season.Hon.president\u2014Mr.John Kilcullen, sr.President \u2014P.O\u2019Reilly.Vice-president\u2014Jas Ohailt, Second

CUP.Mr.J.Arthur Brandt's Irregular Chal.Jenge is Not Accepted\u2014The Seawan- hakas Will Sail for the Cup.As was predicted by The Herald some time ago, Mr.J.Arthur Bianut\u2019s challenge for the Seawanhaka Cup has not been accepted by the Royal St.Lawrence Yacnt Cio.Mr.Brandt cabled a cualienge, but did not get his club to back it up.Under the deed of gift of this cup, ali chal eng.s must be given by a recognized cluy, no individual challenges being recognized, (and under the last amendment of the deed, during a per.od of thirty days following a race, the challenged cuv had the opuion to choose which of the challenges offered it would accept.After that period, the club challenged must accept any chalienge offered by a club.Mr.Brandt was given any amount of time in which to have his club challenge, but he evidently handled matters in a very hap- Py-go-lucky manner, as nothing was heard from him.Meanwhile, the Seawanhaka Club hid challenged to again get possession of the cup.The St.Lawrence Club took no action on this challenge, as it recognized the good that would be done to yach.ing by having a boat from across the water sail for the cup, and consequently Mr, Brandt was treated with a consideration that a club nearer home would have not enjoyed, The Seawanhaka Club, too appreciated the fact that it was most desirable to have a boat from Eng'and sail for the cup, so it did not press for the acceptance of its challenge as it could well have done.The Royal St.Lawrence Yacht Club continued to wait, the Seawamhaka Club did likewise, but nothing was heard from Mr.Brandt.He was given more time DID YOU SHOO of a very large tish he caugat, ® @ 9 Q ° He teresting at this time of the year, NS ford the sportsman a capital chanc ©s , it.and the res.of thos=

have enjoyed any marked success in engiue.ring the general list during the past few days, excepting of course in the case of Street Railway, which is stil on its upward move.Such securities as Pacific, Toronto, Cable and Halifax have failed to exhibit any pronounced tendency either one way or the other, although apparently having a very firm undertone, The fea'ure has undoubtedly been Street Railway, and for a time this morning at was hoisted another notch.The volume of trading, however, showed quite a material falling off from yesterday, being even less, in fact, than the trading of Wednesday afternoon.The bulls are still laying stress on the earnings which continue remarkably good.Another security a little more in evidence to-day was Toronto Street Railway; in fact, next to Street, it commanded the most attention.There was trading at 814 to the extent of 275 ; shares, while 450 shares went at 844 and | 50 at 848.i Halifax Railway was steady on yester- | day\u2019s basis

Nov.18\u2014The Rev.Dr.1G.H.Houghton, for many yeans famous as the rector of \u201cThe Little Church Around the Corner,\u201d the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration, in 29th Street near Fifth Avenue, died last evening at his home in the rectory adjoining the church.Despite his advanced age the death of Dr.Houghton was a surprise even in his own housdhold.Dr.Hounghton was born in Deerfield, Mass., in 1820.After graduating from the New York University he devoted three years to the study of theology.About the year 1846 he was admitted to the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal Church and his first post was as assistant to the Rev.Dr.Muhlenbach, in the Church of the Holy Communion.In 1848 the ambitious young clergyman organized the Church of the Transfiguration, which was destined to become in af- ier years the world-famed \u201cLittle Church Around the Corner.\u201d It has borne that name for a quarter of a century.The circumstances through which the title was | bestowed were as follows: George Holland, an actor, and for a long period of years a member of the old Wal- lack company, died on December 20, 1870.In arranging for the funeral Joseph Jeffer- sn amd others called upon the Rev.Mr.Sabine, pastor of a fashionable churdh in Madison Avenue, and asked him if he would condudt the funeral services.Ascertaining that Holland had been an actor, the Rev.Mr.Sabine declined to conduct the funeral services, and when asked by Mr, Jefferson and his companions if he could tell them where they could get a clergyman \u2018the remarked that perhaps they might be accommodated at \u2018The little church around the corner.\u201d The dead actor\u2019s friends went to that little church and were received with kindly consideration by the Rev.Dr.Hough- ton.This incident formed a live theme i for talk all over ithe country and it es.! tablished \u201cThe Little Church Around the \u201cCorner \u201d firmly in the affections of the { public as well as of the thertrical profes- | ston.Since that time many prominent ao.tora and actresses have been buried from , that church, In October the 49th anniversary of the \u2018founding of the parish and the 48th of ths t founding of the rectorship of Dr.Hough- ton was celebrated.PERISH ON THE TRAIL People Trying to Reach Dawson City Are Having a Very Hard Time, San Francisco, Nov 18.\u2014George Hope, of

Klondike, He says a heavy storm had been vaging on the Pass.\u201cThe other day a man told me that at I least twenly men had perished on the | trail within the last few weeks.I have | not been able to verify this statement.At | every town and every settlement, where prospectors are compelled to stop, the men have stories to tell of the danger of the journey.Their advice is to avoid the trip vow at any cost.\u201d A CUP FOR À COLONEL.Teronto, November 17.\u2014(Special.)\u2014 Lieut.-Colonel Denison and the other officers of the Governor-General's Body Guard, and a number of officers from.dat-

the Body Guards.The presentation and the toast \u201cTo our guest\u201d were made by Col.Deni- son, who referred to Col.Dunn\u2019s long con- pection with the regiment, which he join- ea m 1853, ard

prevails among the people here in regard to the attempted capture of Ladouceur.The four men who came from Quebec did not make a very serious attempt to accomplish the purpose of their mission.They reported that he had escaped across the line, and it was therefore useless to continue the chase.It is the general impression here, however, that the Quebec men were wrong, and that the deer slayer is still in Compton county, and that any officer presenting a warrant against him would have no difficulty in taking him.Ladouceur calls himself a guide, but he does not belong to the Me- gantic Club.HONORED THEIR TEACHER.A very large number of pupils and ex- pupils of Mr.A.D.Lacroix, of Montcalm School, met last night and celebrated the fortieth anniversary of the teaching career of that

Halifax, November 18.\u2014 (Press despatch.) \u2014All of the officers of the 66th, Princess Louise Fusiliers, have sent their applications to Ottawa to-day for their discharge.It is claimed that General Gascoigne, when he rebuked the 66th Battalion regarding the army reserve men, had gained his information from an outside source.Tihe information so furnished turns out to be bogus, and the Government has been asked to have General Gascoigne recalled.Mayor Stephen has communicated with the Minister of Militia, Dr.Borden, demanding an investigation, and stating that the general's arraignment of the 66th was contemptible, mean, unsoldierlike, ungentlemanly and unwarranted.The excitement here is intense.Mayor Stephen says he has evidence to show that General Gascoigne was primed before | he made the inspection to administer a rebuke to the 66th, and that he went to the drill ground with the wilful intention of doing it.It wow turns out that the furnished im- formation on which General Gascoigne\u2019s bogus charge was made was given by one who had been discharged from the 66th.It is also alleged that the general was furnished with other wrong information about the 66th at a dinner he attended here.\u2019 FAKE TELEGRAM STORY, Continued from Page 1.NEWSPAPER RIVALRY.Le Minerve, this morning, has the following reference to the aubject:\u2014Two evening papers yesterday published, with many headings, a Quebec despatch relating that forty odd persons had been swallow- ed up in a landslide at Riviere du Chene, | Lotbiniere County.Another evening, paper, La Presse, publishes the following: (Here follows La Presse\u2019s article of yesterday.) The truth appears to be as follows: La Patrie, in alliance with the Star, is now waging war to the knife against La Presse, in alliance with The Herald.That explains published by these papers about certain murders, La Presse, rightly or wrongly, thought to show that the Great Northwestern | Telegraph Co.was using private despatch- | es and distributing them to other papers.And it invented the story of the landslide in question, which it had wired to it from Quebec.Suits in damages are now memtioned, etc.It will be an interesting episode in this unscrupulous contest which certain newspapers are waging with sensational news items as weapons.And the only thing that slid was the G.N.W.The manager of the G.N.W.is the only man not recovered from the landslide.It is expected he will be taken out with his feelings hurt.The Star's \u201cspecial\u201d service has one arm in a sling to-day.Injured yesterday in the landslide.ROTHCHILD'S PARTY FOR THE KLONDIKE.Four Englishmen and a German Cook

the three are Walter Purdy, Captain I.Thomas, W.Whitfield and Charles Fischer, « German eook.The party will go by, Edmonton.They will camp half way out and make a rush in the.spring.It was stated last night that they were representing Baron Rothschild.NOT A DUEL BUT A SUIT The Latest Development in the St.Louis-Demers Assault Case\u2014Dam- ages Estimated at $200, Mr.Horace St.Louis, advocate, declining the ordeal, by combat, offered by Mr.R.J.Demers, on the ground that it is antiquated, and unknown in modern procedure, has instead entered an action against his adversary for $200 damages.The action arises from an assault alleged to have been committed by Mr.Demers upon the person of Mr.St.Louis.Mr.Demers, it is understood, will plead provocation, which Mr.St.Louis denies.FIRE

SERVICE, Through Train to From Montreal on Dec.1 FAST PASSENGER SERVICE Arrangements Being Made for Quick Freight Transportation to and From the Seaboard.The arrangements for the coming ofgihe Intercolonial Railway into Montreal over the lines of the Drummond County Road | are now complete, and \u2018the first of December will see through trains running ; over the national railway beiween Mont- i real and St.John anf Halifax.It is intended by the Minister of Railways that the inauguration of the new line j dhall mark an important epoch in the \u2018 management of the Intercolonial.Acting under his instructions, the officials ot | the road at Moncton have been engaged for some weeks in perfecting the passenger cand freight arrangements necessitated by the running into Montreal.These are \u2018 now about complete, and comprise, in addition to fast freight trains between Montreal and other through points on the line, a fastor passenger service.The daily express for Halifax and St.John will leavé the Bonaventure depot at 7 p.m., and arrive in St.John at 7 o'clock in the evening of thy next day, making the trip in just 24 hours.The western express will leave St.John about 4.39 every afternoon, and will reach the following day, in order to enable travel- | lers to make connection with the Grand : Trunk and other trains for western | points.À decided improvement is also contem- : plated in the freight service.Trains are to \u2018be run between Mortreal and the various terminal points on the I.C.R., es pecially St.John and Halifax, in competition with the Canadian Pacific.It 18 the intention of the Minister of Railways that if possible the trains_over the line which he controls shall make better time between Montreal and St.John than do those of the Canadan Pacific.No effort will be spared to place the road a business basis and to make it a keen, though friendly, competitor with the C.P.R.It is not likely that there will be any rate cutting, although the Inter- | colonial is now in a position to make its \u2018own rates between Montreal and eastern points, which it was not able to do before, having had to consult the Grand Trunk in reference to all through rates.It is hoped that large quantities of Ontario freight for cxport will find its way to the sea by this route during the coming winter, including a considerable amount which has hitherto been exported through Portland.The business men of tha west are apparently quite in sympathy with the Government in its determination to build up a Canadian winter port, many of them, including some of the largest manufactures, having promised to ship vita the I.C.R.to St.John, rather than to a foreign port.pet NAZARETH ASYLUM The Annual Dinner Which Was Held Last Evening Was Very Much Enjoyed.The annual dinner for the benefit of the Nazareth Asylum was held last evening, and was a most enjoyable and successful affair.The large hall and class rooms \u2018were handsomely

congiatulations on the successful issue of the affair.The officers are :\u2014 SIR HENRY DOULTON DEAD.London, Nov.18.\u20143ir Henry Doulton, head of the firm of Doulton and Compar 7, Lambeth

imitations, both home and foreign.All these imitation productions are composed of cheap and worthless ingredients, very destructive to the materials operated upon.The crude materials employed by the manufacturers of imitation dyes cost but a fraction of what is paid for the Diamond Dye \u2018color stock.In the preparation of Diamond Dyes no cemmon soap grease is used; nor is any foreign ingredient used as part of the mixture to increase the bulk.All adulterated dyes are fatal to good materials.Beware of these common dyes if you value money, time and goods.Diamond Dyes are the only
