BRACELET, Young Woman Makes Restitution After Lapse ot a Year.À servant in the employ of Mr.Fortin, v26 St.Hubert sureet, was arrested yesterday by Detective Guerin for an alieged theft committed last winter.The accused, Clara Rousson, dit Leroux, was empioyed à short time ago by Lr.Brenman, St.Hubert street, but as she was suspected o: thieving she was discharged, and subsequently obtained a situation at No.526 of the same street.Previous to her engagement with Dr Brennan she had work ed for Mr.Lionais at 403 St.Hubert street, where she spent last winter.Incidentally Dr.Brennan mentioned his suspicions to Mr.Lionais, who then remembered the strange disappearance of several valuab.es, among them a gold-piated bracelet, valued at about $3, aml w pearl pin, which was worth $50.Complaint being made to the departmeut, Detective Guerin Was given the case, and he succeeded in locating the woman at the piace mentioned.When he called there the woman answered the bell herself, and denied knowledge of anyone by the name of Rousson.However, she finaily acknowledged that she was the person wanted, and tbat her real name was Leroux, the other one being assumed.The bracelet was recovered, but the woman said she knew nothing of the -pin.There wus no complaint in court this morning, so the prisoner was discharged.NO NUNCIO.Rumor of Establishment of a Papal Nunciate at Ottawa Discredited.\u2018 Ottawa, Dec.9\u2014(Special.)\u2014In regard te His Holiness, the Pope, sending a nuncio to Canada.members of the Government, who were spoken to on the subject to-day, say that they have heard nothing of the matter.It is possible that some of the Bishops in Canada may have made a suggestion of this kind to the Vatican, but how it is to be carried out it is difficult to see.Britain does not recognize any such authority at present.Thera is for instance no nuncio in London, but there is in France and most other nations.The question therefore ariscs if the Pope through Britain will establish in Ottawa what is mot recognized elsewhere .in Bii- tish possessions.It is not likely that this will be done.The most that could be expected would be that the papal delegate might be located in Ottawa for the purposes of the chureh but not in any way connected with, or officially recognized by the administration.Such at any rate is how the question is viewed in official circles.THE STRIKE OVER.Bricklayers in Hochelaga Cotton Mills to Get Union Rate.The bricklayers\u2019 strike is ended and work on the cotton mills has been continued.The contractors, Messrs.Stuart & Hoggie, have agreed to pay the Union rate 35 cents an hour.They say the whale affair was a misunderstanding, as the men were to receive the difference in the rates on Mons day at noon.The contractors have agreed to pay the union nate to save time, but say that they will not pay that rate in future to any buv the best workmen.WORLD ATTACKS MR.BLAKE.Toronto, Dec.9.\u2014(Special.) \u2014The World this morning makes an attack on Hon.Edward Blake for his speech at the National Ciub last night.It says:\u2014\u201cMr.Blake has put his foot in it again, and we trust for the last time, as far as this country 1s concerned.He leaves us in a few days for England, and he gave us a parting message at the National Club last might.It was a doleful, dispiriting tale, conceived on the ultra-humanitarian, peace-at-any-price tone of the little Eng- lender, of a disbeliever in that great wave of Imperial unity now sweepina over the Tmpire.Mr.Blake trod the via dolorosa, with crape on his hat.for the movement that he himself inaugurated in Canada | years ago in his Aurora speech.It was Blake all over, and D'ake at his worst.A great advocate, as an advocate surpassed, we believe, by no other man who speaks cur tongue, a man of the highest mental \"powers, but a man lacking in courage, | | | 19,628.85 .groping in the dark, a political wreck.Lord Bacon was in many respects the greatest Englishman that ever lived; but, as Macaulay says, a man of highest mental endowments, coupled with the lowest kinds of meannesses.Mr.Blake is the same as to mind, but a mird steeped in fear and lacking in political courage.That is Blake\u2019s supreme weakness, and it has made him a big but unworthy splitter of political hairs.Last night timidity stalked ; through his speech.His usefulness is gone: his influence forever departed.Let him go.\u201cWe must leave Mr.Blake with this closing idea: that it won't be many moons before he does for the Irish cause in the British Commons what he has done for the movement for Imperial federation, that he helped to start in this country\u2014 desert it in his next frenzy of political whimsicality.\u201d COTE ST.PAUL GUN CLUB.The annual

To-day, The management of the Canadian Pacific, realizing the enormous rush of go'd- seekers which will begm with the beginning of spring are making every preparation for suitable traffic accomodation.Mr.McNicol stated to The Herald this morning that the company realized that the Stickeen route was the best, and they intended to leave no stone unturned in their endeavor to secure the best possible service for that route.It is understood that the two Union line steamers which the company has just decided upon purchasing will arrive at the Coast in the beginning of March.These steamers are both of about 4,000 tons.They have both first and second class passengers accomodation, and will be able to make two trips during the week through out the summer season.The route will be from Vancouver and Victoria to Fort Wrangel, which lies at the mouth of the Stickeen River.From there light draught river boats will carry the passengers to Telegraph Creek, a distance of 150 miles up the Stickeen.From Telegraph Creek to Teslin Lake the company propose constructing a line of 150 miles.The nature of the country dues not impose any particular engineering di(- ficulties and C.P.R.engineers have already been completely over the ground.Before the end of August travellers will he able to buy a through ticket to Dawson City.In a few months large gangs of men wiil be started at the work of construction.One of the greatest difficulties to be encountered is the navigation of the Stickeen.The current of this river is exceedingly strong and the problem consists in the construction of light-draught steamers which can, at the same time, carry powerful enough engines to make satisfactory headway.The C.P.R.Co.are keenly alive to the possibilites of the approaching season's traffic, and it is only matural that intending gald-seekers will look for the most eom- plete and convenient way of reaching the scene of their prospective operations.Sir William in New York.New York, Dec.9\u2014Sir William Van Horne is in town, and, with a number of prominent men, some of them Canadians, is staying at the Manhattan.They are discussing important business in.connection with the K.ondike road, in which much American capital will be invested.\u2014\u2014 a Ny RAID ON THE BELLA.Starving American Miners Seize the Steamer\u2019s Cargo on the Yukon.\u2014\u2014 The seizure of the steamer Bella by starving miners at Circle City ou the American side of the Alaskan boundary, brings out something of the difference between Bui- tish and American mevhods of government m vue Yukon.An American mining engineer writes from Dawson on Oct.3 to his tiem in New York: | \u201cMy last letter, written to you from on board the gfeamer Bella, after leaving Fort Yukon, under date of September 25, was maiied in Circle City Sunday, September 20, 1897.We reached Circle City Satur aay, September 25, at: seven p.m.I'he sfeamer had barely tied up her landing, the passengers going on shore in a suow- storm, when she was boarded and taken possession of by fifty armed men, who demanded all her stores and supplies for the glarving people living in the vicinity of Circle City, some 188 miners.The list they presented called for all the delicacies of the season, but all case goods having been left at Fort Yukon, likewise wines, liquors and cigars, they only found staple articles, namely flour, bacon, butter, ham and lard.\u201cI'he proceedings were very summary.There were about thirty passengers on the boat.The crew, composed of Siwash Indians, left the steamer on herarrival at Circle City.Captain Ray, U.S.A., aa- dressed the mob, but they disposed of him by not paying the slightest attention to his remarks, intimating that \u201cThis was the United States, and to h\u20141 with the fellows in Canada; that the English government looked after thém, and that they didn\u2019t propose to allow food to leave the United States for a foreign country and they starve!\u201d \u201cAccordingly they took about thirty tons of ham, bacon, butter, beans, potatoes\u2014 practically all that there was of these ar ticles\u2014and about two hundred sacks of flour.Private property was respected, otherwise we would have had a shooting match on the boat.After cleaning up the vessel armed guards were put on board by the miners, as well as on shore, to prevent any further robbery, though there was really nothing else to take, unless it was private property.\u201d CONFIRMATION SERVICES.The Lord Bishop of Montreal will confirm a number of candidates at the morning service in St.Simon\u2019s Church, St.Henri, on Sunday morning next.This service will be of a special character.GREAT OCEAN RACE.Halifax, Dec.9.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The

TURCOTTE TENANT \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 But the Landlord Defeated Him a Law.The Court of Review\u2014Hon.Justices Jette, Taschereau and Tellier presiding\u2014 this morning renderal a judgment which will be of interest to landlords and tenants, which is equivalent to saying that it will interest the entire public.A year or two ago the Hon, Arthur Turcotte, prothonotary of the Montreal district, took a \u2018house from Miss Alice Mills, and moved in with his family.At- ter some time the adars of sewer gases became so pronounced thtat it was impossible to live in the house.Mr.Turcotte called in Drs.Lamarche and Beau- soleil, who agreed in declaring that the house was unsanitary, and they advised that the family should move out.Mr.Turcotte, therefore, took rooms at a hotel, and moved his establishment, Two days later he advised his landlord of what he had done, and why he had left the house, and she said she would look into the matter.As a result of an architect's examination the house was thoroughly overhauled and its sanitary defects remedied.This done Mr, Turcotte was notified that he could move back into it.But this he refused to do, and at the same time he brought action to recover $300 from Miss Mills, claiming that this was the amount of expense he had been put to in having to pay hotel bills, having to buy coal which he was not able to use, ete.The landlord\u2019s defence was that the defects complained of had been remedied as soon as they were made known, and that when the repairs were done the plaintiff had refused to take up his residence in the house again.The Superior Court upheld the contentions of the defence, and dismissed the action.This judgment was confirmed in review this morning, with costs, the landlord thus winning in both the lower courts.TELEGRAPHIC BRIEFS, George Brunel, of the Island Revenue Department at Ottawa, died in Toronto yesterday, aged 52 years._ Dr.Campbell Morfit, the distinguished

Committee Will Open Tenders To-day.Wess SNOW GANGS ORGANIZED.Deputation Wants the St.Denis St, Sewer Built at Once, The purchase of a morgue will be con- siderad at the meeting of the Health Conrmittee at the City Hall this afternoon.Tenders have been called for and will be opened this afternoon.If the committee can find the time, the appropriations for 1898 wiil be put through.The Road Committee.The Road Committee met at the City Hall this morning to organize the snow gangs and appoint the foremen and eub- foremen.There was a full committee present and half-a-dozen other aldermen were seated around the table to look after the interests of their constituents.The chairman and Inspector St.George urged that the men employed in previous years, excepting where complaints had been made against them, be re-engaged.The employment of new men necessarily meant a logs of time.The principle was adopted by the committee and last year\u2019s lists were adopted with only a few changes.Most of the foremen and sub-foremen were also re-ap- pointed.The few new appointments oe- casioned quite a struggle among the aldermen, each of whom appeared to have a friend or friends he was anxious to have placed on.A deputation from St.Denis Ward with Ald.Prenoveau as spokesman, asked that the work of building the St.Denis Street sewer be proceeded with this winter instead of waiting until spring.The wor.if proceeded with at once, would give employment to a large number of men during the winter months.After the views of the deputation had been presented, the matter was referred to a sub-committea consisting of Aldermen Brunet, Renault and Grothe.A deputation from St.James and St.Flary\u2019s Wards was heard, asking that the name of that portion of Amherst Street in front of Logan Park be changed to T-zan Avenue.Their request was referred to the sub-committee already appointed consider such matters.Short of Money.The Fire Committee is in session this afternoon dealing with the appropriations for the year 1898.The total amount asked this year is $233,644.The amount asked by the conmmittee for 1897 was cut down 315,000 by the Finahce Committee, and the same sum was sliced off the estimates for 1896.This has left the Fire Committee with outstanding accounts amounting to $32,600, which sum is included in the amount to be asked for 1898.The salary list sums up to $123,300, leaving about $77,- 700 for the ordinary expenditure of the department.Another matter of importance which will be considered will be the appointment of a successor to A.Dronin, who was transferred from the engineership of No.10 Station to the City Hall engineer- ship.Thomas Nolan, son of the late Captain Nolan, is likely to receive the appointment.Serer THE LODGES.The regular annual

are about to have the bustle again, There is no doubt about it.All you have to do to be sure is to go to the dressmaker who best knows the styles and she whl tell you that the newest costumes all have that idea in view.The bustle in its present form is bound to be popular, for it is far from being the monstrosity of a few years ago.Neat and graceful, it is just large enough to round up the hips and give a stylish set to the skirt and prevent it sageing.The modern idea.is to use the bustle in the only sensible way\u2014that is, to suit the individual.Bustles are being made in great varietv.both long and short, and some much fuller than others.The stvle most in vogue is moderately long, and has hin extensions which wil suit the woman who 1s 'tall and not too full of outlines.A pad of some sort is essential in order to be fashionable.7 I WHY THE CPR, CUT ITS RATES, Wanted to Supply Eastern Millers WITH MANITOBA WHEAT.The Export Movement Had Prevented This.Mr.G.M.Bosworth, triffic manager of the Canadian Pacitic Railway, returned yesterday from a trip to St.John, N.B., where he and other Montreal men had been celebrating the finst sailing of the {Gallia from the Canadian winter port.Asked by a Herald representative as to the conditions which haa induced the recent lowering of rates from Fort William to Montreal Mr.Bosworth said the company expected there would be a pretty large movement of flour this winter which ought to be encouraged by the lowering of the rate.He thought there should also be a fairly heavy movement of Manitoba wheat eastward to supply the Montreal and Ontario millers.The new rate brings winter delivery within three cents of summer rates to millers.The export movement of Manitoba wheat lras been so great for the last few months that Ontario millers have not laid in their usual stocks.The fact that there fs a great deal of wheat in Ontario does not in Mr.Bos- worth\u2019s opinion materially affect the situation as it is being rapidly exported in response to the brisk demand, so that it will not be long, possibly three or four weeks, before Manitoba grain begins moving.While this is what the railway company expect, Mr.Bosworth added, it will not be surprising if very little wheat is moved, for as a general thing there is not much brought on in winter and only the com- bimation of exceptional market conditions and a reduced rate is likely to alter the usual custom.He would not be at all sur prised if before very long some Manitoba grain were to come forward by rail for export, although it would be rash to pro phecy about thaf, the export trade being subject to the influences of many circumstances.Grain merchants who know the grea* amount of grain that has been handled by the railway west of Fort William this fall \u2018nefîne to the opinion that the C.P.R.have made this reduction in the expectation of being thereby enabled to bring their rolling stock east with full loads rather than light.By most of them it is considered improbable that much wheat will move east by rail unless the preseat brisk de- rand continues or increases.This, however, is not thought to be altogether improbable, as the shortage in wheat is expected to continue.Harvesting in the Argentine will have begun this week, and tefore long the influence on the situation from that quarter will be measurable.One well-posted grain merchant

Couldn\u2019t Decide.memes Cornwall, Dec.9.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The fall assizes opened here yesterday before Mr.Justice Meredith with a docket of seventeen civil and six criminal cases.Brunette vs.Bergin, was an action for the immediate payment of a legacy.Judgment for defendant, His Lordship holding that the legacy was not payable till the death of a devisee named in the will.Plomandon vs.Cornwall was referred to the Drainage Referee.Maisonneuve vs Roxborough, an action for damages for alleged distress was dismissed.Anderson vs.Hall, action for damages to defendant\u2019s bush by fire set out by plaintiff, verdict for plaintiff for $200.Queen vs.Baker, embezzlement and JME olittl, = Queen vs.Sharpe, perjury, were sent over to the General sessions.This brought the Court to the murder case of Queen vs.Mary Dupont, of Alexandria, who is charged with murdering her infant child.E.S.C.Huycke, of Co- burg appeared for the Crown and D.B.Maclennan, Q.C., for the prisoner.Miss McCullough, an eye witness of the murder, described the cutting of the child\u2019s throat in a barn by the prisoner.The wounds inflicted on the child consisted of two deep gashes in the neck under the left ear.The mother carried the body into the woods and hid it and here it was found by the doctors and the constable.The defence set up a plea of insanity.As usual the médical testimony was of a very conflicting character.Doctors Graveley Wagner and Senator McMillan considered the prisoner irresponsible at the time of the murder while Doctors P.A.and Donald McDonald considered her sane at the time and Dr.Hamilton who had examined her in gaol also thought her sane and responsible.Mary Dupont, the mother of the prisoner said that her daughter was but sixteen years old.Since early childhood she had been subject to fits of a more or less severe character, and after these fits she had illusions and thought she saw unusual things such as angels.Other witneses also testified to having seen the prisoner in fits and to her having hallucinations afterwards.This was all the evidence.Mr.Maclennan made a very strong address for his client seizing on every favorable point and urging upon the jury the strong mature of the evidence pointing to the prisoner's insanity.Mr.Huycke\u2019s address was short but clear and forcible.His Lordship reviewed the evidence dispassionately and told the jury that the whole question turned on the sanity of the prisoner.If on the evidence they found her sane they should bring in a verdict of guilty but if they thought she was insane they would acquit her.The jury then retired and are still out.It was after tem o'clock last night when the jury who had been out over four hours returned.The foreman stated that they were unable and there was no prospect of thier being able to agree on the question of the prisoner\u2019s insanity.They were accordingly discharged and the case will be re-tried at the next assizes.EDUCATING THE POOR.Knights of Labor Think There Should Be a Change.A very unportant subject came up for discussion at last night\u2019s meeting of Dominion Assembly, 2436, Knights of Labor.One of the members called the attention of the members tc the complaints in the press regarding the inability of poor peop:e to pay the necessary school fees and so their children had to go without education.This was especially the case where there were large families.The discussion on this point became general.Some contended that when parents were \u2018too.poor to pay the school fees, their children should be educated free of charge.Others objected that that was creating a system of pauperism that was despised by the people.It was finally resolved to petition the Legislature to enact a law making education free and compulsory, so that such a state of affairs as is at present in vogue will be wiped out.The secretary anmounced that Lord Strathcona was unable to be present at their annual banquet, but that he had

WRITTEN In New York\u2014Then Vanderbilt Sails for Europe, New York, Dec.9.\u2014The Jargest life in- srance policy ever issued was written in this city last Monday, calling for $1,000,000 insurance upon the life of George W.Vanderbilt, who sailed for Europe to-day.The policy was what is known as a twenty-pay.ment life contract, and provides for a pres mium of about $35,000 w year.After Mr, Vanderbilt has paid that sum yearly for twenty years, the payments cease, and the principal becomes due at his death.The next largest policy ever written is said to have been for £1t0,000, entered into by an Eglish company, which re-insured much of the risk in other concerns.The largest transaction of an American company, it ds said, occurred a few years ago, when $500,000 of insurance was issued upon the lives of five members of the same fami- lv.Once or twice, it rs said, policies of $350,000 have been issued, and have attracted considerable attention in insurance circles.Some of the companies have a rule Trot to write more than $200,000 upon the life of one individual, however good tha risk may be.Others are sometimes willing to take $250,000, but generally re-insure a large portion of it immediately.It is only within a comparatively few ycars that anything like such sums have been written.Forty years ago the companies never issued more than $10,000 upon one life, and when, they consented to write as high as $20,000 upon single risks it wag considered remarkable.a, COAST RATES RESTORED.\u2014\u2014\u2014rmtm The Cut Will Not be in Effect After Sunday.Toronto,

When the Legislature Opened.THE FIRST FULL REPORT.prete Economy is a Necessity in the Province of Quebec.The Hon.Mr.Mardhand in his speech in the Legislature on the address in reply tc the speech from the throne outlined the political issues in the Province so clearly and concisely that it will be read with great interest.It is here reproduced at length: >, Mr.Speaker; .My first duty, an agreeable one, is to add my congratulations to those of the hon.leader of the Opposition to the hon.members whoo have proposed the address of this House in reply to the speedh from the throne.They have acquitted them- | calves of this task with a skill which does \u2018hem honor.Their debut promises and proves how well they are prepared to play an important part in our deliberations.The sentiments expressed by His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor, with regard to the sixtieth anniversary of the accession cf Her Majesty to the throne, will find an echo, I am convinced, not only in these halls but ralso throughout the province, Nowhere in the vast Dritish Empire, have the virtues of her who for so long has presided over its destiniew, excited more ad.yuiration and inspired more devotion than in the bosom of our loyal population.In thanking Providence, on \u2018the occasion of the Jubilee celebration, for the benefits of so hippy a reign, a reign which will be ever memorable in history, we have asked that it be prolonged for many years yet.I regret deeply, and I am certain that the large majority of my (honorable col- lengues also regret, that the honorable leader of the Opposition did mot think it his duty to fully approve the paragraph of {ae speech from the throne on the subject of the Jubilee celebrations.He told uw: that he could not admit that the part \u2018alin by the representative of Canada at tho:e celebrations was useful as well as tuilliant.He admits the brilliancy, but d ries the usefulness.I had hoped that I» would have taken a broader view of the situation.Why this note of discord?Does it come within the province of one of the me-nbers of this House to belittle the role played on that occasion by the most illus.irious child of the Province of Quebec?How can he fail to be proud of the fact that, by the confession of every witness of those ceremonies, the honorable Prime Minigter of Canada there tools the first 1 vk, after his Sovereign.The potent echo of the applause which ~-orvwhere greeted him, in England as in Frasce, resounded' to the very limits of ihe Dominion.But Sir Wilfrid Laurier #120 did much in London that was of prac- {cal utility.Can the hon.leader of the Opposition deny that the First Minister of nada rendered immense services to his -mintry bv the eloquence with which he oke, and contributed to make it better \u2018own before so many audiences, as dis- \u2018\u2019aguished as they were numerous and in- \u2018ential?Was not the denunciation of ~~» commercial treaties, a measure of great i portance, the result of his labors and tg skill?And because the speech from the throne Tuded th the useful side of the visit of \u2018ne Canadian Premier to England, for the - 1bilee festival, is it just to reproach us withy seeking to introduce Federal subsets into debates in this*House?But, Mr.Speaker, I must now return to the consideration of the affairs of our 1 covince, mentioned in the speech from tie throne, and which have formed the \u201cthiect of a lengthy criticism at the hands i § the hon.leader of the Opposition.He {nds the speech from the throne insuffi- cat.T shall reply that we have adopted, 3 our line of conduct a policy of Promising Little and Accomplishing Much, Too long the province has had:to be sat- isfled with promises from those whom it entrusted with power.More than ever the time \u2018has come to act.) à The hon.leader of the Opposition finds - strange that we should rejoice at the fict that the province has had an abun.cant harvest.He asks if we claim the vierit of it.No, Mr.Speaker, we have not for a moment thought of imitating cur friends onsthe left, and pretending, as they did when they occupied the minister- inl benches, that we are the authors of everything good that happens to the agricultural classes.Has he not just told us 8 Disease weaves its web ÿ around people a little at a ÿ time.They are not danger- , ously ill all at once.The \u201c*5/## _beginnings of illness are mere trifles.First a little indigestion, perhaps; or headaches; or an occasional bilious turn.It is hard to realize how you are be- mg tangled up in the strands of sickness until you are fairly caught.Nearly all serious illnesses begin with Some stomach or liver trouble, or with a costive condition of the bowels.These functions have got to be put in good condition before there can be any recovery from any disease flo matter what its name or nature, and it îs because Dr.Pierce\u2019s Golden Medical Discovery acts directly upon the liver and digestive organs that it has such a marvelous effect upon all diseases of malnutrition, It gives the digestive system power to assimilate nourishment and make good blood; it drives out bilious poisons; it creates the red, vitalizing, life- iving ele- uients in the circulation; and builds up the weak and wasted places in every corner of the constitution.Taken in conjunction with Dr.Pierce\u2019s Pleasant Pellets, it relieves obstipate constipation and keeps the bowels in a perfectly natural condition.Mrs.Ella Howell, of Derby, Pe Co., In writes: \u2018In the year of 1804 1 vas taie Ina storiach trouble\u2014nervous dyspepsia.There was a coldness in my stomach, and a weight which seemed like a rock, Everything that I ate gave me great pain; I had a bearing down sensation: was swelled across my stomach; had a ridge around my right side, and in a short time I was bloated.I was treated by three of our best physicians but got no relfef.Then Dr.Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery was recommended to me and I got it, and commenced the use of it.I began to see a change for the better.I was so weak I could not walk across the room without nsdistance.I took Dr.Pierce's.Golden Medical Discovery and his \u2018 Favorite Prescription\u2019 and onc bottle of the \u2018Pleasant Pellets.\u2019 began to improve very fast after the use of a few bottles.The physicians who attended me said my disease was leading into consumption.I had quite a cough, and the home physician gave me up to die.Æ thank God that my cure is permanent,\u201d { empty puffing, but by acts.that, if our farm produce has obtained \u2018better prices in foreign markets, üt is due to his government\u2019s policy?Will he permit me to reply that agricultural progress is largely due to the intelligent efforts of the farmers themselves.My honorable friend has been able to observe for him- sclf, and in the clearest possible way, what the farmers of the province thought of our opponent's vaunting of what they call- ecd their agricultural policy.1 Every government speak$ of its devotion to the cause of agriculture and colonization.The government which has spoken most had done the least.We intend to act otherwise.We shall work earnestly for the progress of agriculture, not by For this object we undertake the improvement of our country roads.The honorable leader of the Opposition has loudly claimed for his administration the merit of this policy.We have the right to dispute his claim.After five long years of imactivity in this respect, as in maay others, our predecessors have apparently recognized the importance of improving our country roads, But this new policy was only suggested to them by the approach of the elections, and the necessity of doing something to regain, by what means they could, their lost popularity.The hon.leader of the Opposition is surprised that the speech from the throne should allude to the progress of our manufacturing industry, and he reproaches us, in this connection, with again encroaching upon the domain of the Federal Parliament.This is simply an effort of imagination on his part.Why does he tax his ingenuity thus to bring forward propositions of such a nature for the empty pleasure of finding fault.I am quite well aware that tariff, trade, banking, ete., questions, belong to the Federal domain.But that cannot prevent us from remarking that our manufacturing industry is progressing, and rejoicing at it.And what is the particular cause of this progress?It is generally known, and the honorable leader of the Opposition should not ignore it.Quite recently the glad news was circulated that some capitat- ists had decided to Invest Many Millions of dollars in utilizing some of eur great water powers, and that they were going to establish in our province new and important industries.At the présent mo ment a town is springing up from the ground at the place called Grand Mere.The same thing will soon be seen at the Shawinigan Falls.This industrial activity is due to the development of the natural resources of our province.What harm can there be in publishing the fact through the autihorative medrum of an address from the representative of the crown at the commencement of our legislative labors?What harm is there in expressing the hope \u2014-the conviction\u2014that the province will obtain large advantages from this progress of our manufacturing industry, thanks to the utilization of our immense water powers?Is it not a grave exaggeration to pretend to see therein & danger to the constitution.My honorable friend has greatly changed in a few monthe.Not long ago he claimed for himself the credit of all the progress which the province had made.Then, Mr.Speaker, he was Prime Minister, now he is so mo longer.Finances of the Province.As a result of the extravagant administration of our predecessors the financiul question continues one of the most important and most difficult of those which the Government and the House will have to consider.We do mot intend now to waste precious time in recriminations; but we owe it to the province and to the House to tell, in this connection, the truth ~the whole truth.Need I recall the fact that our opponents when they came to power in 1892, undertook to settle bur financial difficulties by reducing expenses, by economy, by wise and prudent administration.Those who trusted their promises were able, for some timie to believe that they would keep them.Thanks te half a million dollars raised by the new taxes, which they imposed during the first session, their treasurer, Mr.Hall, was enabled, one day, to claim to have balanced his budget, even counting, as he did, the crdinary expenditure, the total disburse- rients, with the sole exception of the sums paid for railway subsidies.The illusion was brief.Extsivagance resumed its sway and things went from bad to worse, to such an extent that Mr.Hall felt obliged to hand in his resignation, not wishing to yield further to the importunities of his colleagues.From that time forward disguise was laid aside.After the accession of my honorable friend to the direction of the administration, extravagance had no limits until he was forced to resign.In what condition did we find the finances of the province when we accepted the responsibility of power?Instead ot the surplus, of which my honorable friend boasted so much during the electoral campaign, I had to face for the year 1896-97, ended June 30th last, a deficit of $084,043, The expenses exceeded the estimates by £206,864.Caleulated on the basis laid by Mr.Hall, this deficit amounted to $1,365,- 000.Public money was distributed without stint or system, evidently to destroy the effects of the unpopularity which our opponents had earned by their ragh policy.We found ourselves face to face with numerous engagements contracted by our predecessors without the previous authority of the House.Mr.Speaker, our first duty is to Honor the Obligations cf the province and to maintain its credit.The honorable leader of the Opposition should be the last to be scandalized that the Government should find it necessary to borrow in order to consolidate the floating debt created by the deficit for the year 1896-97 of nearly a million dollars, and tn provide for the engagements made by the preceding administration.That administration is alone responsible for the administration of the provincial finances since 1892, up to the last general elections.The hon.leader of the Opposition ought to be aware of the condition of the treasury when he left office, consequently ha knows better than anyone else, the ab lute necessity for the loan of which the speech from the throne makes mention.The hon.leader of the Opposition wil} permit me to say that he is makins false calculation when he hopes to hold us up as in contradiction with ourselves by recalling our electoral declarations.I do mot hesitate for an instant to reaffirm those declarations.I am opposed to all borrowing, to-day and always.But, Mr.Speaker, to avoid the wecessity of horrom.irg, expenses of all kinds must be kept within receipts.We had promised to seek this result in future if the people of the Frovince of Quebec entrusted power to us, and we rely upon obtaining tit by means of an administration, economical and prudent.without iniuring the efficiency of the public service.That is the task we hava undertaken and which we shall strive te accomplish.if the House, as we hone, agrees to give us, for its execution, cordial and patriotic support.We ghall endeavor fo reduce the nmnual exprmeed to the lowest nosble figure and we hope thus to establish the desired equi.Ebrium.Tn nlace of commencing, as our predecessons Aid, hy the imnosition of new taxes, with tihe nromises of economies not rentized, wa shall commence hy economy.and if.after having exhrusted all our ef- forts in this direction, our hopes wers se THE HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1897.not completely realized, and an imperative necessity to create mew sources of revenue in order to save the honor and the credit of the province arose, it, would only be to make up for the remnant, thus considerably diminished and reduced to ite simplest expression.But we must first of all provide for the needs of the moment.And what are these needs, created by the want of foresight and the culpable prodigality of our predecessors?A deep deficit to fill, enormous obligations to meet.But, Mr.Speaker, I shall be permitted to recall to the hon.leader of the Opposition that we fever promised that, if we came to power, we weu/d Refuse to Borrow to Pay the Debts contracted by our predecessors.We never promised that we would dishonor the province by refusing to meet the obligations regularly contracted by them.In public, as in private business, the evil does not con- gist in borrowing, when one can do so, to pay one\u2019s debts, but rather in extravagantly incurring indebtedness, without reason, without reckoning the result.The necessity to borrow is to-day the effect of n cause.The extravagant policy of the Lon.leader of the Opposition and of his friends during their last year of power, is the cause.They are responsible for the cause; we have to bear the effect.We hope that the majority of this House, like the great majority of the electorate, will do us full justice in apportioning the.responsibilities.To us the responsibility of paying the obligations incurred by our predecessors; to the hon.leader of the Opposition and his friends, the much heavier responsibility of having incurred those obligations.I do mot wish, Mr.Speaker, to anticipate discussion upon the details of the financial question, which will be debated in the course of the session.It will be my duty as First Minister and Treasurer of the province, to give a complete expose of the situation and of the means which we shall have adopted to meet it.Let it suffice to-day to ask the hon.leader of the Opposition whether last year, to redeem the millions of acres of land granted to railway companies, at a total cost of a million and a half dollams, in raising the expenses to a figure of $084,043 above the revenue, and $896,864 above the estimates, he did not know (that he was imposing upon the Provincial Government, whichever it might be, the necessity of borrowing money.I believe too much in his good faith to think he would 8eriously deny it.The Question of Dismissals.The hon leader of the Opposition has a grievance against us.He reproaches us reply in two words to that.gratuitous accusation, and I lay down our policy on that point as follows: We claim the right to redress, when it is possible, the frjustices committed by our predecessors who made dismissals without cause.We shall only dismiss unfaithful employes, and for cause.Our opponents have placed us in the difficult position of dismissing the employes they have appointed without necessity, especially after the defeat of the late Government at the geneml elections when they had no longer the right to make eny new appointments.It is a painful duty, Mr.Speaker; but it is a duty.We cannot admit that, because it has pleased a defeated ministry to make, before retiring from.office, a number of useless appointments, swelling the budget by means of a very considerable sum annually, we are obliged to confirm those appointments and to pay salaries to those persons whose services are in no way n°eded.It is unnecessary to say more on this point for the time being.We shall take the responsibility of the policy that 1 have just declared, in connection with the civil service, because we know \u201chnt it is perfectly in accord with our cons:i- tutional rights and powers.I shall add with pleasure, Mr.Speaker, that vublic employes who do thetr duty faithfully can rely at all times upon the justice and the protection of the Government.Education.I can reassure the hon.leader of the Opposition in respect of the legislation of which mention is made in the speech of his Honor, the Lieutenant-Governor, relative to Public Instruction.We shail be faithful to this article of our programme.I shall keep the promises that I made to the Province.That the present system 1s susceptible of progress isa thing admitted by all who have given a little attention to the question.But the improvements we propose will in no way touch the laws of religion and morals, I do not hesitara to say that the great interests of religion and morality are as safe in our hands as in those of our opponents.I await the discussion of the bill that we propose, to express at greater length my views upon a subject of such importance.Provincial Boundaries.As the Speech from the Throne says, we shall submit a bill to fix positively the northern limits of the Province.On this point again tha hon.leader of the Opposition claims for his party all the credit of the policy which will result in an increase of the extent of the territory of the Province by more than sixty seven millions of acres.This pretension of the Opposition ig in mo wise justified The extension of the Provincial boundaries to the nortu ig, above all, the work of the late regretted Mr.Mercier.He had worked for the settlement of this important question with all his well-known energy.If it is not yet finally settled, it is because of an error on the part of my honorable friend, the leader of the Opposition, who thought that a decree of Council sufficed, when, incontestably, legislation was required.It is idle for him to excuse himself on the ground of the divergence of the English and French texts of the British North American Act.It is evident that the intention of the two texts is the same.The consent of the Province to the fixing of these limits could only be given by a law adopted by this legislature.My honorable friend was mistaken in thinking that a decree of the Executive Council would suffice.We shall (repair his error.New Policy.Our policy shall be really à new policy.We shall practice economy, not by words like our predecessors, but by deeds.We shall work boldly for

of the province.Other Questions.The hon leader of the Opposition has not thought it his duty to limit his criticisms to the subjects mentioned in the speech from the throne.He has gone farther, and reproached us with what he calls our sins of omission.He is anxious to know what will be our railway policy, our \u201cbetter terms\u201d policy; whether we shall abolish the Legislative Council.He should not be go impatient.He will know when it is suitable that he should know.But let me tell him that I am rather surprised at his recent zeal for the procuring of \u201cbetter terms.\u201d Whatever he pretends, he is deceiving himself if he imagines that he can alter public opinion.He ought to tell us why, from 1892 to 1896, as long as his poH- tical friends were in power at Ottawa, he did not think of demanding justice frou: with having made unjust dismissals.1} for \u201cbetter terms\u201d dates from the acces sion to power of Sir Wilfrid Laurier.The trick is too evident pot to be understood.My honorable friend ssid a great deal during the campaign about &is determination to keep federal and provincial polities strictly distinct.He expressed the same determination oñ the floor of the House to-day.We are agreed on that principle, and I should tell him that there is no partnership between my Government and that of Canada.But, Mr.Speaker, it is at least strange that my honorable friend should have become such An Ardent Partizan of the complete separation of the two policies during thie provincial contest, only when he could not longer rely upon federal intervention in his favor.Does he believe that the electors of the Province did not understand that, if he repudiated his old friends in federal polities, it was only because he found their friendship too compromising, after their defeat.The hon.leader of the Opposition asks himself why he is to-day on the opposite side of the House.He has been good enough to tell us.According to what he has told us, he fell from power, mot on account of his errors and his bad policy, but because the electorate desired to give a new vote in favor of Sir Wilfrid Laurier.That is no doubt a compliment to the Prime Minister of Canada.But my honorable friend deceives himself.It was ms Government and not that of the Hon.Mr.Laurier which was on trial on the 11th of May last, and it was his Government that was overwhelmed on that day.He was punished for his faults and because he had failed to keep his promises.Mr.Speaker, we have commenced our task with courage, after the vote of conf- dence which the electors have cast in our favor.The task is difficult; but we shall succeed, with perseverance, in sccomplish- ing it.In the acomplishment of our pr- miges and our programme.we rely upon the cordiat support of our friends.The Head Office of The Herald has been removed to [AI St, James Street.ROSS MACKENZIE'S OBSEQUIES.Last Service Over His Remains Held at Toronto Yesterday.tt preps Toronto, Dec.9\u2014The funeral of Campbell Ross Muackenzie, the once famous lacrosse player, took place yesterday afternoon from his former residence, to St.James cemetery.The body arrived last evening from British Columbia.\u2018\u201cArchie\u201d Mackenzie, the deceased\u2019s brother, uccompanied the remains.At 2.30 in the afternoon a brief service, at which only the family attended, was conducted at the house.The public service was held in St.Simon\u2019s Anglican church, which was crowded with friends.An opportunity was given after the service to view the remains.About the red-cedar casket were ar- ringed many handsome floral tributes.They came from friends in this city, from Winnipeg and Montreal.There was a large pillow, composed of white roses, Roman hyacinths, lilies and carnations, with the words, \u201cAt Rest\u201d inscribed upon it, from the employes at work on the Crow\u2019s Nest Pass Railway.A broken column, from the Toronto Lacrosse Club, of white roses on one side of the base and pink ones on the otler side, and the letters \u201cT.L.G\u201d\u201d on a shield between them at the base was also noticexble.Among the other designs were a snowshoe from the St.\u201cGeorge Snowshoe Club, of Montreal; a wreath from the C.P.R.employes at Montreal; a St.Andrew's cross from Messrs.H.RE.Beasley, C.L.McDonnell, and W.F.Car- pon, of Slocan Oity, and an anchor from Superintendent and Mrs.Leonard.Thege were also flowers from the deceased\u2019s cHfl- dren and family on the casket.In the funeral procession were all the old members and a large number of the new members of the Toronto Lacrosse Club, besides representatives from the St.George Snowshoe Club, Montreal, and the Amateur Athletic Association of Canada.The pall-bearers were all old friends of the deceased and were Messrs.T.W., Jubb, John Drynan, Robert Baker, John Massey, William Suckling, James McGee, of Toronto, and Samuel Struthers, of Montreal.The chief mourners were: Mr.Campbell, (fatihver), Archibald and Donald Mackenzie, brothers; Tred.W.Harcourt, and Chas, A.Hesson, of St.Catharines, brothers-in- law; John Mackenzie, of Hamilton, uncle, and the deceased\u2019s four sons.TERRITORIES WANT ONE OF TWO THINGS.Hither an Increased Grant or Complete Provincial Autonomy.Regina, Dec.9.\u2014Premier Haultain, of the North-West Legislature, in his budget speech yesterday, dealt at length with toe financial position of the Territories and their demands for further aid from the Dominion Government.Their present position in the Territories \u2018was an advance upon the past, and to-day they stood in a unique position.Their progress had been { gradual, and in the intermediate stages they had had their financial difficulties.They were now, so to speak, standing upon the threshold of provincial power.With the increase of their jurisdiction they ought to consider seriously, both the Government and the House, their new duties and their greater responsibility.Parliament had given them at their own request increased powers, and they carried with them greater burdens and larger financial responsibilities.New duties meant more money.DIarlia- ment, however, while very generous in extending their legislative jurisdiction had not been equally generous in increastug their legislative grant.Year by year they had new powers and new duties, until now they approached very closely to a provincial basis, but they were a long way from provincial grants or subsidies.He said there were only the two alternatives, either go on as.they avere and obtain a larger financial grant, or get provincial recognition; and when \u2018he said that, he meant one Province for the Territories and the Territories as they existed to-day, not with any portion cut off on the north-west or cut off in the east, but with the Yukon and its gold fields, and not with the east added to the older Province of Manitoba.(Applause.) He believed that when the time came, and he thought it war verv rapidly coming,if it had not already arrived, that there must be one Province for tne whole of the Territories, with all its various resources, including the gold mines of the Yukon.Cornea cause intolerable pain.Hol'o- way\u2019s Corn Cure removes the troulle.Try it, and see what an amount of pain is saved.The Head Office of The Herald has heen removed to 141 St.James WEAK MEN suffering from DRAINS, LOSSES, WEAK BACK, 2 IMPOTENCY, VARICOCELE, etc, I say to you \u2018as man to man, as physician to patient, DRUGS NEVER CURE.Why not use nature\u2019s own simple remedy, ELECTRICITY ?ESS > With request, free of charge, of my belt.) my ELECTRIC BELT SUSPENSORY I cured 5,000 last year.Book, \u201cTHREE CLASSES OF MEN,\u201d explaining all, sent sealed free upon Or, if you live near by, drop in and consult me (There is but one genuine Electric Belt and that is the Sanden, Don\u2019t be deceived by cheap, worthless imitations, Ihave had 30 years\u2019 experience and control patents covering every part YOUNG SITUATIONS VACANT, \u2019 OR OLD, and SUPPORTING WANTED\u2014A carpenter and tinsmith, Apply, with references, 41 Windsor Sfreet.WANTED\u2014A neat intelligent girl to exam- ! ine shirts.One who has bad experience preferred, Apply 96 St.Peter Street.WANTED\u2014Good finishers in fur lined coats.Yearly employment.Chs.Desjardins & Co., 1537 St, Catherine Street.WANTED \u2014 Experlenced salesladies for Xmas trade.Also two lads about 18, quick and correct at figures, for parcel office.Apply to Mr.Stuart, at The S.Carsley Co., Ltd., Notre Dame Street.WANTED\u2014For a drug store, an apprentice, speaking both languages.Little or no experience necessary.Apply J, À.Gauvin, 1286 St.Catherine Street, \u2018 cen\u2019, a word per insertion.PERSONAL\u2014Boston Dental DENTISTS.this head half a Six insertions Advertisemts under for the price of four.Parlors, 1350 Notre Dame Street.Beautiful gets of \u2014 000000000 gro ZX RE WITHOUT DOURy 3 best medium between t} employer and the unemployeq.the buyer and the seller, the landlord and the tenant and in fact between any and all n who want anything and those who want to dispose VA of anything.Try an adver.W tisement in the Want Column and be convinced, Ads for situations wanted \u201c OT situations vacant inserted, for local advertisers, three times free of charge.Be sure and use the Herald when you want anything.0.0 000000000 le, OCF AIT Nn = Z > ete ey SITUATIONS WANTED-MA Lg, \u2014_\u2014 WANTED\u2014Man wants work of any Is a painter by trade.A BS 6h Elizabeth Street, ddress A WANTED\u2014Situation as head stablem , an, by 4 young man.Best references, Box A 2, Herald, ces.Address carry anything in the trashy line.goods houses.Roger & Galet, Parls, Violet, Paris, CHAPMAN\u2019S Aguel, Paris, PHARMACY Perfumery \u2014in No other druggist in the city carries a better stock of HIGH-CLASS PERFUMERY than we do.In this department we do a trade extending to every part of the city.This has only been secured by giving our customers satisfaction.We Our bra Some of our brands are: Grossmith, London, Seely, Detroit, DISPENSING OUR SPECIALTY.do not nds will not be found in the cheap dry Crown Perfumery Co., London, Co'gate & Co, New York, \u2019 .2687 ST.CATHERINE STRENT.Tel.4087.Rubber Feet.: Ask for tho Corny, clammy, cold and painy.\u2019Doctor says that rubbers did it!

MARKETS.The speech which Hon.Geo.W, Ross delivered before the British Empire League | at Toronto last Saturday was appropriate to the occasion and mo doubt suited to the temper of the audience to which it was more immediately addressed, and possibly to a large portion of its newspaper audience outside St.George's Hall.It was, so far as we can see, a tolerably straight acceptance of a platform which no leading Liberal has before adopted.He went further than any other leading Liberal in this country has gone, in that he argued not only the advantage to Canada of en Imperial zollverein, but the | proximity of some such arrangement; and argued also mot only the greater permanence of advantage resulting from enlarged trade with Britain as compared with enlarged trade with the United States, but the ultimate disadvantage and, in fact, ihe actual danger of encouraging a profitable trade exchange with the American nation, With regard to the first, it is, as Mr, Ross says, a question more for discussion in England than in the colonies, The arguments which Mr.Ross advances why the English workman should tax himseif on his béeadstuffs, meat, wool and sugar\u2014 the $790,000,000 worth of food products which are imported besides that which is grown in the Islands\u2014do not appear to us, we must say, to be as strong as he evidently regards them, But if they are sufficient to convince the English workingman and the English statesman the colonies will have no reason for complaining.With all that is said regarding the security and might which will be Britain\u2019s when she and her daughters enter upon that close- bound union toward which the eyes and aspirations of every Briton have this year been turned, we have the heartiest agreement.But it is not clear to us that that union will be best furthered by making the struggle of life harder in the British Isles, The advancement of peoples has never been promoted by taxation, whether exacted or self-imposed.The whole trend of affairs at present is toward the unification and inter-dependence or self-dependence of the Empire.let us not get in a hurry.British progress has not been a slow progress and we cannot go far astray if we mark well the conservatism which has been below and behind it.Nor do we think there is any indication that the chariot of Empire which is rolling round the globe will he pushed into a much faster gait, than it i* now travelling, by the efforts of those empire-builders who are in a hurry, Upon the question whether public cpinion in England is moving toward the point where taxes will be imposed for the benefit of the colonies, our information does not agree with Mr.Ross\u2019, and we suspect that even careful observers going into England upon a visit might casily mistake the true import of the Imperialistic sentiment which dur- ng this jubilee year would very naturally suit itself to the ears of the visiting kinsmen from the \u201couter marches.\u201d It is, after all, in its probability or improbability that preferential tdade is in or out of practical politics.For our part we have not seen any reason for believing that the project is near enough to acceptance in England to warrant ws in Canada building any plans upon it, With Mr.Ross\u2019 attitude towards the United States we in large part, but only in part, agree.It is certainly to Canada\u2019s interests that ler trade channels should be established where they are least liable to |.disturbance.The trade which we ectablish in the British market is not at the mercy lof tariff fluctuations and party exigencies.This is the key to the subject of markets.The importance of this consideration is paramount and until the United States turn their backs upon protection and follow in the footsteps of Great Britian\u2014a day which may nob be as distant as it now appears to be\u2014this alone should be sufficient to keep the eyes of the Canadian husbandman turned towards the Atlantic and the open market to which it is the highway, rather than toward that southern market whose advantage by reason of its nearness is les sened \u2018by its uncertainty and its tariff imposts.Meanwhile, however, we see no sufficient reason for slackening in any degree our exertions to push our trade in every quarter where we can sell at profitable prices.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 NORTH-WEST LAND SALES, A most significant statement has been issued by the North-West Land Company.It shows the recent operations in North-West land and the figures given speak eloquently of development and progress in our western country.Sales 6f land by the \u2018company from the beginning of the year to the end of the month just closed amounted to over 33,777 acres, compared with only 14,847 acres for the corresponding period a year ago, an Increase of 18,930 acres.Turned into money the sales make an equally impressive showing.The value of the land sold within the same period is seen to have been $184,500, compared with $33,027 during the same period last year, a gain for the present year of $101,472.With regard to the present time there is no contraction of business.In fact the returns by months show steady and even development.The figures for September and October exhibited substantial increases while there was a splendid advance in November, the sales during that month exceeding those of last year by fully 2,965 acTes, representing a money gain of $18,379.The whole statement, in fact, is most cheerful, and with C.P.R.sales correspondingly large, it is obvious that an üm- petus has this year been given to the settlement of the North-West.GRAIN FROM THE WEST IN WINTER It is believed that the recent cut in the C.P.R.freight rates from Fort William to Montreal was caused chiefly by the exceptional conditions of the grain trade this year.The crop in the west was a good one to begin with and the high price paid for wheat for immediate delivery induced farmers and buyers ta rush the grain to the seaboard while the lakes were open.This necessitated the employment of an unusual amount of railway rolling stock along the line west of Fort William.Now that the season for shipment by water is practically closed there must be many cars in the west for which there is no present use; and this added to the fact that there is a shortage of cars for the eastern business has probably led to the reduction being made, the expectation being that the cars will now be brought loaded instead of empty.The shipments by water route in the last few months have been so heavy that it is thought the greater part of the grain has already been brought out of the west and that, under normal conditions, what remains there would probakily continue in the elevators until spring.New York operators are said to luve purchased large stocks of western grain which they are holding in the eastern \u2018elevators in the expectation of a further rise in price.This being the case only two considera tions would be likely to influence western linlders to ship their grain at \u201call rail\u201d rates, If the stocks held in the east were to be so far reduced that the operators must have grain even at the cost of the extra five cents a bushel, which even after the recent cut is still the excess of rail over water carriage, there would naturally be an inducement to forward more from the west.Secondly, if there should be a margin in the cash price in the winter months over the price expected to be paid for wheat to be delivered in May or later sufficient to cover the extra charges there will be a strong inclination to part with the stocks now in Manitoba and the west.By the recent reduction the C.P.R.has placed itself in a position to get the advantage of these not improbable conditions.Some business may also be expected, unless the company\u2019s calculations are astray, by the demand of Ontayto millers for Miamy.toba wheat.Ontario flour has been ship- { ped out of the country so fast that it is now said to be impossible to get sacks enough to supply the demand.Another fact which may cause a demand for Manitoba wheat of the best quality for Ontario use is that owing to rain in the

the preceding season they secured from the same herd 43,- 917 skins.In 1897, three American and twenty-five British schooners engaged in sealing in that portion of Behring Sea covered by the Paris award, their catch amounting to 16,464 skins.During the preceding year thirteen American and fifty-four British vessels took 29,500 seals in Behring Sea.During 1897 u catch of 7,858 seals was made off

was the smallest in volume siuce the subject has been under Federal supervision, where it was placed by the act of August 3, 1882.In fact, it is the smallest of any fiscal year since 1879, during whidh year 177,826 were reported to have arrived.During the year now reported 230,832 persons arrived, ot whom 228,952 were permitted to land and 1,880 were debarred nnd deported in ac cordance with law.Of those deported, 328 belonged to the class known as alien contract laborers, and 1,289 were returned as belonging to the classes of aliens prohibit.el from admission under the act npproved March 3, 1891.In add'Hion, 263 Persons, who had become public charges within one vear from arrival, were returned either at the expense of the steamship line by which they were brought or at the expense of the immigrant fund.The heavy decrease in immigration is attributed largely to recent restrictive legislation.The Currency.On the currency matter Secretary Gage makes the recommendation that proper legislation be enacted which will establish separate und apart from the ordinary operations of the Treasury as they relate to revenue and expenditures, a department to be designated and known as the Issue and Redemption Division.To this division the sum of $125,000,000 in gold should be set over fromi the general fund in the Trea- =ury, to be used only for redemption of silver certificates, and all the silver dollars now hdld for redemption of silver certificates, and all the silver bullion and dollars coined therefrom, bought under the act of 1890, should be passed to the same account.Further, that the sum of $200, 000.000 in the legal tender notes of the United States known as greenbacks ba collected as hereinafter deser\u2018bed, and deposited in the said Tssue and

yesterday there were special services, yesterday being the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.The music was especially fine in most of the churches.At Notre Dame Riga\u2019s Mass was sung.The soloists were Messrs.Briere, Giroux, J.B.Dupuis, Jos.Hudon, W.A.Dansereau, J.A.Payette and N.Fortier, Mr.Dusgsaulti was the or- gamnist, .The same mass was rendered in the Church of St.Louis de France.At the Church of the Gesu, Gounod\u2019s \u201cMesse des Orpheonistes\u201d was rendered with full or- dhestral accompaniment.Nichou-Cheron\u2019s thirteenth mass was given by the choir of St.James Church on St.Denis Street.Sermons appropriate to the day were preached in all the churches.Services were held in the evening in almost all the Catholic churches of the city.At The Theatres, : LOC 663606 6COGOIVSOOHOS For an engagement of three nights and ome matinee only, Primrose & West\u2019s minstrels are to be at the Academy of Music next week, the matinee to be given at popular prices.As it has been a very long time since a minstrel company has visited Montreal, the engagement should prove more than ordinarily successful.It is promised that in Primrose & West's company this season will be found more capable people in this line than usually are carried by this kind of an organization.The principal comedians are Ezra Kendall and Carroll Johnson, both well known in this city, Kendall's specialty consists of a monologue in which he takes the audience into his confidence, and tells them all about his own experiences.Comedy seems \u2018to have first place in the hearts of the patrons of the Theatre Fran- cais; leaving aside perhaps the latter day social plays which are served up between times.Melodrama is undoubtedly a great\u2019 favorite in the milder sense of the term, but it remains for the better class of comedy to serve a greater end, \u201cNiobe\u201d which was written by Harry and Edward Paul- ton, has been secured for next wezlk\u2019s presentation at the Theatre Francais, and there is every reason \u2018to expect that it will prove one of the banner weeks of the season.In New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, and\u2019 last but by no means least, London, it was the grealt- est drawing card of last season, and now it is to be produced' in Montreal for the first time in its history at popular prices.Ar elaborate scenic and dramaitic production will be W.A.Brady\u2019s magnificent presentation of \u201cUnder the Polar Star,\u201d at the Queen\u2019s Theatre.As the title of the play suggests, it treats of life and adventure in the Arctic regions.A party of gallant explorers start out in search of the North Pole.The story admits of the miost elaborate of scenic displays, which have been utilized to their fullest extent.This play is the joint work of David Belasco, the author of the \u201cHeart of Maryland,\u201d and Clay M.Green, and is laid in the Arctic regions.Theatre Royal.Rice & Barton\u2019s big burlesque and vaudeville organization, which they call the \u201cGaiety Extravaganza\u2019\u201d company, comes to the Royal next Monday for a visit of ! one week.Managers Rice and Barton are well known and always welcome to

Terrib,© Dynamite Guns on Them, Havana, Deg 9.\u2014The further report on the capture of Guisa hy General Garcia confirms yesterday's despatch; and the report adds that the entire garrison of the town, composed ot 80C men, died he oically without surrendering.Only forty-five Spanish soldiers survived, and thay were made prisoners by General Garcia.The Spanish: official report describes the terrific cilects of the pneumatic dynamite gan used Ly Geremal Garcia.The insurgents fired seventy-twc dynamite shots on the forts, Each shot wrought terrible havoc.The gun was operated at a short distance from the \u2018own.Not a house remains in Guisa.All were blown to pieces.Besides the dynamite gun.the insurgents used two field pieces, six and eight-pound- ers.General Garcia sent word to the Spaniards before the bombardment that they would be pardoned it they would surrender.The only answer was a ghout of \u201cLong live Spain!\u201d end a general volley from the forts.The destruction of the town was completed in 12 hours.Besides 800 regular troops there were at Guisa some 300 others, militia and volunteers.The total loss of the patriots is inot exactly known, but it is large.Colonel Tovar, who arrived with his column to rescue Guisa, reports that it was terrible to see the dead Spanish soldiers half buried under the rubbish of the forts.Colonel Tovar commands the Spanish brigade of Manzanillo.He attacked the insurgents at Piedras, and fought the battle that was reported in the Sun on last Saturday.According to Tovar\u2019s report, he dislodged Garcia from his positions.It is said in official Spanish circles here that al! danger in Bayamo is over now that General Panda has arrived in Man- zanillo.General Pando arrived yesterday in Man- zanillo, Santiago de Cuba Province, whence he sent a long cable despatch to General Blanco.General Pando reports the continuous fighting of his column against the insurgents since November 23, especially with the forces of General Gomez in Santa Clara Province.He also gives his first impressions about the war in Santiago de Cuba, declaring that the insurgents are numerous, well armed and daring, It is generally believed that General Pando\u2019s intention is to begin an active campaign against Generals Garcia and Rabi, and to protect Bayamo and all the towns threatened by General Garcia in the inberior of the province.His arrival at Manzanillo has caused a great deal of enthusiasm among the Spanish there, who were panic-stricken over the news of the destruction of Guise.If General Pando starts for Bayamo severe fighting is expected on the road \u2018between the two small towns of Pe- ralejos and Barrancos, where the insurgents are very strong.Pando was welcomed to Manzanillo by the Governor and the municipality and delivered an address that ended to arouse the hopes \u2018of the Spanish loyalists.The town of Gulsa had 8,000 inhabitants.It was only six miles from Bayamo.It had à military commander and a government entirely distinct from those of Bay- amo.In Bayamo the Spamish garrison numbers 3,000 men, and it is strange that no attempt was made from Bayamo to save Guisa from utter destruction.The Head Office of The Herald has heen removed tn 141 St.James Street, INNOCENT MAN RELEASED.Kingston, Ont, Dec.0.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Dr.Francis Yones, of Denbigh, has been pardoned from the penitentiary, after thirty months\u2019 imprisonment for theft.He says he was an innocent man.Detective Greer of Toronto, agrees with him.Yones claims that he was the victim of a conspiracy for which he will sue those responsible, for twenty thousand dollars.The crime was the alleged stealing of a valise dropped from a rig between Renfrew and Shamrock, containing $1,490.Yones has written a book on prison life.He says he took a self-sealer, put the manuscript in it and hid it in the lake near the prison.On his release he secured a boat and got his copy.It will make a book of 275 pages.He will likewise lecture on prison life.GERMANS SUFFER A REVERSE.London, Dec.9.\u2014According to mail ad- vices from Batanga, on the West African coast, southeast of the Cameroons, in the Banoko country, a German expedition consisting of six white officers and two hundred natives, recently met withh a severe reverse at the hands of the Mboulies, a warlike tribe which.has long harrassed the German trade caravans \u2018to the south of Batanga, in the Molinji country, ans especially along the Campo or Ntem River, which divides the French and German territories.A German warship with troops 1s already on the way to the Cam- croons to reinforce the expedition which is being organized to punish the Mboulies.MESSAGH SATISFACTORY TO SPAIN.Madrid, Dec.9.\u2014The Premier, Senor Sagasta, in an interview regarding President McKinley\u2019s message to Congress, is quoted as saying he thinks the, message satisfactory, because the threat to intervene in Cuba was made merely to give satisfaction to a portion of American opinion, without the intention of executing it.The Premier remarked that the Government would not make a declaration on the subject; said he believed the President's words would have influence with the insurgents and, accordingly, the Cortes would not convoke until the Government had ascertained the effect of the message upon Congress.The Imparcial, commenting on the message, says:\u2014'It shows a certain cleverness and evil intention when it refers to filibustering expeditions.Mr.McKinley speaks with what appears to be excessive cynicism to those who have not lost all notion of justice.The Government must show the Yankees that the Spanish flag floats over Cuba, and that they have yet lo tear it down.\u201d riidaliotd HECECHCHCHORONSC RORY 5 HERALD MENU.=

Will Probably be Refused, THE M.AA.A FEES QUESTION, After a Great Deal of Discussion Nothing is Done\u2014The Fight of the Year-\u2014Sports of all Sorts.When the Amatenr Hockey Association of Canada meets in the M.A.A.A.clubhouse on Saturday night, the most important matter to come up for discussion will be the applications of clubs for member: ship in the association.One of the most interesting of these applications is from the Capital Hockey Club, of Ottawa.This club is making every effort to have its application favorably received, but the way things look at present the ambition of the club to get into senior company will not be realized.The revelations in lacrosse at the Capital will affect the hockey club and until the whole lacrosse trouble is straightened out, Ottawa teams will probably find it hard to get into any more amateur associations.It would be a mistake for the A.H.A.to admit the Capitals as things are now, but it is also a mistake that there seems but little danger of making.These teams wish to be admitted into the intermediate series, the Crescent Hockey Club, of Quebec; the Sherbrooke Hockey Club, of Sherbrooke, and the Overland Athletic Club, of Montreal.All these clubs should be admitted, and probably will.Their presence in the league will ensure first-class intermediate series this season.The Sherbrooke people have always showii commendable enterprise in encouraging amateur sports, and the association could not do better than to let them in.The Victoria Rink is now in possession of the hockeyists and the three senior clubs have commenced practising.The tChamroeks have thus far shown the most activity, and they will certainly have a first-class team to go after the championship this winter.For the first few matches the Victorias will not probably have the services of Graham, Drinkwater, R.Mac- dougall or Shirley Davidson.The last- mentioned will not be here for any of vue g«mes, and the others will mot get out except to practice for the game in which they will defend the Stanley Cup against tha Victorias of Winnipeg.But the Vies vil be strong all along the line.The Montreals have all the old men in harness nnd as soon as they work off superfluous Hed they will display championship form in the most approved manner.The Stanley cup challenges are getting numerous.The latest is that the Toronto team is going to get after our Vies for the ugly trophy.If the club was well up in the conditions it would not talk of such a thing.The Gazette man yesterday morning made the valuable discovery that the Capitals cannot play for the trophy.Tuis was nine months after the challenge vas put in, and after the Gazette man had written columns, off and on, about the Capitals in that connection.The discovery was \u2018therefore a most important one, the only drawback being that he did not know what he was talking about.Our Winnipeg correspondent, in his description of the Winnipeg hockey team, which will tour here next month, omitted {lie name of Harold B.Shaw, captain of the team, and one of the best players.Shaw bas played ir the Ædst,- but has greatly improved since going to Winnipeg.lle makes a splendid captain.KEEPING HOCKEY CLEAN.A Busy Season for the Officials in Accomplishing This Object.\u2014\u2014 Toronto, Dec.9.\u2014 (Special) \u2014Referring to professionalism in hockey the Globe in its sporting columns says: \u201cIf the officers of the Ontario Hockey Association intend to make full use of the powers with which they are clothed they must look for a busy season.It is common talk that some of the clubs that professed at last Saturday\u2019s meeting to abbor the slightest taint of professionalism were then and are now busy hiring Players.Inducements of all kinds, dircet and indirect, are being offered to men of skill on the jee either to remain with their old clubs or to associate themselves with other organizations, Lacrosse and other games are not in the same class with hockey in the offence of veiled professionalism, if a tithe of what one hears or sees 1s true.And the.worst feature of the situation is that it can be no better until there springs up a sound and healthy public sentiment about such things.The real spirit of sport is so choked by over weening partizanship and the greed of vie- tory that even with the authority invested in them by the organization of Ask your grocer for dsor ; vrobable that the Capitals will get in.which they are the executive the officers will find this a difficult task indeed.\u201d HOW THEY DO IT OUT WEST.Winnipeg, Nor\u2019Wester:\u2014Captain Shaw is in receipt of several letters from clubs in Fastern Ontario and Quebec, which are of a very encouraging nature, and he expects to be able to make a definite announcement in regard to the trip very soon now.The sporting public of this city will without doubt do all in their power to assist the boys in getting away, as it will, without doubt, be the means of bringing other scalps into camp, than the particular trophy which the champion \u201cVic's\u201d will set out after with every hope of once more bringing it to Winnipeg.It may perhaps be thought by some that a visit by both of the senior teams this year will be too much of a strain upon the well- known generosity of the people of this provinae whe usually subscribe so handsomely when called upon to assist in sending away a team -after a championship from this neighborhood, and therefore all efforts along that line should be confined to sending the \u201cVics\u201d after the Stanley Cup.But while in most cases the argument might hold good, in this case it cannot fully apply, as in connection with the \u2019Pegs proposed visit, the officers of that club are receiving assurances, in fact financial guarantees which it is hoped will do away with the necessity of asking for much assitance, and it is a foregone conclusion that whatever help is needed to send the \"Pegs away will be cheerfully given, and will not be allowed to interfere with the sum required to send the Victz rias down, and the good that will result from such visits will be shown by the games which will be put up by both of the teams on their return, and will be of more interest to spectators than they are even now.CAPITAL HOCKEY CLUB.Ottawa, .Dec.9.\u2014The Capitals are now ready to go on the ice and get in shape for the Stanley cup contest.The club was organized for the season Tuesday night, and their supporiers are now looking forward to the hockey season with.considerable interest.The club will buckle down to hard work as they will meet the Victorias in about three weeks.It seems likely that the team to meet the Victorias wiil be the game as that which won the series last year, and will include: \u2014 Wilmot, goal; Watters, point; E.Murphy, cover point; P.Murphy, McGuire, O'Connor, \u201cDude\u201d Baldwin, forwards.In other matches the Capitals may play Alf.and Moxie Smith, of last year's Ottawa team, who, however, are not elizib'e for the Stanley cup contest.President James Davidson occupied the chair Tuesday night, and the following officers were elected: \u2014 Hon.president\u2014David Maciaren.Hon.vice-presidents\u2014Dr.J.I.Chabot and P.H.Wall.President\u2014James Davidson.Vice-president\u2014Phil Grimes, Secretary\u2014John Carruthers.Treasurer\u2014E.J.O'Neil, Captain\u2014E, Murphy.Executive commiitee-.Join Murphy, Frank Hannum, F.11.Cleary, J.Temple- ton, K.Hinchey and M.F.\\Whitly, The splendid record which the tesm made last year waz referred to in the raport of Secreary k.T.nchev.Refcrenve was also made to tn: fact that the club has applied for adi::-sion to the senior league.The fact that the Ottawas have promised their support to the Capitals was referred to in un appreciative Way.THEIR PROSPECTS.This is the way an Ottawa paper discusses the chances of the Capitals: \u201cConsiderable interest is being taken hers in the annual meeting of the Canadian Hoe- key Association, which will take place in Montreal on Saturday night next.The Capitals have applied for admission to the league, but it seems very doubtful whether the team will get in or not.\u201cThere are two rules, which may debar the Capitals from entering.One is the requirement that a team must win the intermediate championship of the assoeiation before entering senior ranks, and the other is that an objection from any one club now in the league would prevent.A vote to sustain the Capitals must be unanimous.\u201cThe Ottawas have expressed a willingness to assist the Capitals in getting into the league and seem willing to waive the requirements of winning the championship.\u201cHowever, if the feeling of the Montreal clubs can be determined by the comments of the Montreal press it seems very im- The Montreal papers have already pointed out the requirements of the rules and have ventured the opinions, that the Cap1- tals will not get in.\u201cThe Capitals will be busy before the meeting, urging the support of the Montreal teams, The Otbtawas will be represented by Harvey Pulford, Weldy Young, and George Murphy.\u201d THE GAME AT CORNWALL.Cornwall, Dec.9.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Thie hockey season will open in Cornwall on | Christmas night, when the local team will | meet their old rivals, the Morrisburg team, | in the Victoria Rink.The latter team will probably not \u2018be as strong as last year, but the home \u2018team expect to place a stronger team than ever om the ice.Like all former contests between the two teams, this match\u2019 will be close and exciting.Cornwall is now admitted into the Ontario Hockey Union, and it is possible it may mot re-enter the league with the Capitals and Brockvilles, They wil make a strong bid for the Ontario championship.ANOTHER ASPIRANT.- \u2018Toronto, Dec.8\u2014The T.A.C.hockey men have come to an agreement with officials of the club and the cherry and black will again flame on the ice.It is likely that the club will challenge for the Stanley Cup now held by the Victorias of Montreal, as an unusually strong seven will be gotten together.Among them avill be Hardisty, late of Rat Portage, and formerly of Montreal; and Dulmadge, also of Rat Portage, said to be the best goal-keeper in the business.Other western men are likely to be on the team.BAY OF QUINTE HOCKEY LEAGUE.Kingston, Dec.9.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Hockey clubs in Belleville, Napanee, Deseronto, Picton and Trenton have re-organized the Bay of Quinte Hockey League, with these officers: \u2014Ilon.president, F.W.Taylor, Deseronto; hon.vice-president, W.Mof- fatt, Picton; president, H.Corby, Belle- ville; first vice-president, S.C.Warner, Napanee; second vice-president, R.Weddell, Trenton; secretary-treasurer, F.M.McKeown, Belleville.\u2014\u2014\" SUBURBAN HOCKEY CLUB.On Wedn\u2019sday night a meeting was held in the Richelieu Hotel, presided over by Mr.R.C.Wilson, when a new Suburban Hockey T.eague was organized.The clubs admitted were the Parksides, Rose- dale, Montreal West, Second Mount Royal and St.Laurent.The meeting was adjourned until Saturday evening next when the schedule for the coming season will be drawn up.THE STAR CLUB.The Star Hockey Club will hold a general meeting this evening at 8 o'clock sharp, at 389 St.Penis Street to transact business of importance.All members are requested to be present as well as those wishing to join.THE WHEEL.SIX DAYS\u2019 RACE.New York, Dec.8.\u2014At midnight the indomitable eighteen were still pedaling their way, lap after lap, around the high-banked froor of Madison Square Garden.From midnight to midnight Miller had put more than 350 miles behind him.This marvellous record on the third day of the race carried him mlong to a total of more than 1,200 miles in seventy-one hours, 139 miles ahead of the former record.During this weary journey Miller has peen off the track only a few hours.With the exception, perhaps, of Stephane, the Frenchman, Mil ler had, up to a late hour in the afternoon, taken less time to sleep than any other man on the track.And notwithstanding this, Miller is seemingly sn as good condition as he was yesterday, when experts claimed that he and Rice, the Wilkesbarre coal miner, were in the best shape of all the riders.The next mam to Miller at the present time is Rice, and he is something more than fifty miles behind.But he is strong, and seems to have the same determination that carried him almost to the front in the big race of last year.Last year\u2019s champion, Teddy Hale, whose great ride promises to be fpr outdone this year, is now making up ground.He is almost 175 miles behind the leader, but nevertheless, he has crept up from tenth place, which he held last night, to eighth piace, and is certain to go up much higher before the end is reached.After sixty hours of what seemed to Americans to be the fiercest kind of rivalry, Stephane has given in to Rivierre and the latter has put more than a hundred miles between himself and his fellow countryman.Indeed, Rivierre holds a dangerous place in the front rank.He is third man in the race and thas a good lead on those below him.Stephane, Rivierre\u2019s quondam rival, took the sulks to-night, which accounts for his lost ground.He disappeared from the track for a couple of hours and even after that only rode at intervals.Waller, who made such a wonderful effort during tne second day, but who, too, got stubborn later on, has returned to his work with renewed vigor, but he is now far behind.During the Matter part of these events there was considerable wommotion in tha Carden amongst the 10,000 spectators, occasioned by Miller falling off his wheel asleep.He was raised from the track and carried to a dressing-room.He returned a few minutes later and went on with his steady grind.The score at 12.15 a.m.follows: Miller.+ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ +.+ 1,219 Rice.++ vo ve

pretty soon.Either the men will have to stop sprinting as they are now, or else they will break down.In my opinion, most of the men who have tetired from the Tace were not so much affected by the pace, though, of course, that had a great deal to do with it, as they were by \u201ccold stuff\u201d\u2014ice water, cold liquids and cold foods that were given them.Of course, a man\u2019s throat gets parched and his tongue dried in this smoky air and by the constant riding, and they want some thing to cool their mouths and throats.They beg for ice water and very often have it given them.But when a man is under a great strain, as they are, and is perspiring, cold fluids are sure to have a result, and a bad one, before long.I think that this was the cause of Waller's collapse after he had led for thirty hours.I am sorry for him.His condition was pitiable.His legs were all right, his head was clear, and he was as strong as an ox, but his stomach was almost gone.He couldn\u2019t eat anything and keep it down, and I am afraid that his dhances Lo win, which were so bright, are gone.I said yesterday that I considered Ste- phane and Rivierre dangerous men, and my predictions were correct.When Ste- phane took the dead he had not been asleep since the start.Along in the afternoon he slept for an hour, and Miller took lis position as leader from shim; but the Frenchman returned to the track greally refreshed, and started to sprint, and I still say that he i= a dangerous man.Rivierre has not done quite so well, but will be heard from later in the week.Miller, Rice and Schinner are working on a different system from the Frenchmen and Hale.They come out after a rest and sprint at the rate of seventeen, eighteen and nineteen or twenty miles an hour, until \u2018they begin to feel thoroughly | exhausted; then they rest and sleep.Stephane, Rivierre and Hale are riding at a considerably slower pace, with an & csrional burst of speed which only lasts for a lap or two, and are depending more on their ability to stay on the track as long as possible.It hardly seems to me that the pace can be maintained throughout the week.Waller held it, and collapsed.It forced Ash- inger, Shock and Reading, three veteran six-day riders, to retire, and I think before long the speed will be slackened.Rice is making a.beautiful effort.He seems absolutely tireless.His riding throughout the day, by which he pulled himself up from sixth position to thire, was a great performance, being for the most part a sprint all the time.Schinrier, thie Chicago man, is hanging on better than I thought he would, and Pierce and Moore are still dangerous.Teddy Hale, the dhampion of last year, has recovered from his sickness and his knee is comiæg around in good shape.He tells me he is confident of pulling up, and he is gradually coming along toward the front.Dut he has a long lead to overcome.One hundred and fifty miles is a good deal in a race of this kind, even at the finish of he second day.However, the men in front of him may collapse, and then his steady, plodding gait will carry him through.He } tells me that while he is not confident of winning, he thinks that he has got a big chance to move up to the top gradually, and is feeling very much better than he was yesterday.JIMMY MTCHAEL.THE OXFORD CAFE.University street.Hand-picked Malpeque Oysters received daily from

Changes Concerning Fees.After all the discussion and careful consideration that the fee question of the M.A.A.A.has received, nothing has been done.This year a great many members, under the present system, will become life members, and the association will cease to derive benefit \u2018from their fees, thereby losing considerable revenue which was needed at this stage of the association\u2019s life.Two changes, both improvements in the present state of affairs, were advanced.They were published in yesterday's Herald.The special meeting of the association held last evening to \u2018take some steps in the latter was largely attended, and both motion and amendment were thoroughly discussed.Mr.Dodds withdrew hs motion, leaving the amendment before : e meeting.When a vote was finally taken the amendment was defeated, leaving things just as they were previous to the time when the fee question first came up for discussion.THE RING.FIGHT OF THE YEAR.December 13th is going to prove an unlucky day for either Dan Creedon or Kid McCoy, for on that date the pair will face each other at Long Island City to battle for the middleweight championship of the world.MeCoy is at work on Staten Island, and in his multifarious correspondence assures all of his friends that he is in the pink of condition, writes Domino in a Cincinnati exchange.The Kid can certainly give all the other fighters points on how to work the letter racket.Nobody has heard a word of Creedon, but he is down at a little lake resort not far from Chicago, alone with his brother, Temmy Tracey, and private reports from there are that the Australian is nearly shaped up.He will not leave Chicago for New York until about three days before : the fight.Creedon was really undergoing a long course of training for this fight, and it will take him little effort to get fit.He has been getting ready for over six months this time, and should be fit.All that he is doing now is for wind and speed, with a little rough work to keep his hand in.It does not look like there will be any doubt about either man being in condition.Both of them know what depends on the fight, and, however we may differ as to their pugilistic merits, it must be acknowledged that both are level-headed enough to know the necessity of getting fit.Co It will be a great fight, and the developments in regard to the two styles of fighting will be interesting.Creedon is one of the fighting type, fully versed in the intricacies of boxing erected on the foundation that exper ience has shown to be the best; a speedy two-handed and hard punicher.He is old in experience and his gameness has been proven in \u2018the test.MoCoy\u2019s style is an enigma to the old ring students.He has discarded aibitrarily all of the old cus toms.He has worked in a lot of new fads and brought back a lot of work thait had been rejected because it was found ineffective under the old style.He has never been asked to stand up to the test before a man in the champion class, bar Rypn, and whether his theatric innovations are to become a part of ring game, he is better than any one of the players I have named.Taking McHale from a minor league and placing him in faster company will cu¢ no ice with Mac.He is born for fast company, and will stay taere.\u201d | In speaking of this wager during the past week Mr.Wagner said to a Washington Star reporter: \u201cMr.Irwin, my brother and I have been on very close personal and business terms for a couple of years back, and through us last season Arthur made more money in one season that he ever did before, and I have no reason to doubt his \u2018gincerity in this prediction.From other | sources the same glowing accounts come ' to me of MceHale\u2019s ability, and if but half what is said to him comes true I will be perfectly satisfied.\u201d ANSON\u2019S RETIREMENT.Chicago, Dec.9.\u2014The Record says that ! Adrian C.Anson\u2019s retirement from the managership of the Chicago Baseball Club has at last been practically decided upon, and a means found whereby it en be dome satisfactorily to all concerned.The veteran player, captain and manager will be \u2018given a berth in the club, which will carry with it few duties, but a liberal salary, and which will also permit the captain, if he so desires, to bramch out in the minor league business.THIS IS DIFFERENT.Scranton, Dec.9\u2014The story \u2018telegraiph- ed from Syracuse Tuesday night that the Kastern League franchises of Scranton and Wilkesbarre had been transferred to Newark and Rochester respectively, is denied here.The Scranton owners say that they have given an option on the sale of the club to the promoters of a local stock company.The matter is to be definitely settled about the 20th instant.If the deal goes through it is probable that Thomas R.Brooks and possibly H.P.Simpson, the active members of the present ownership, will be interested in the new company, TURF AND TRACK.ROMANCE OF THE TROTTERS.Here is a good one, for the most part true: \u201cThe elemegt of chance enters so largely into trotting horse transactions that to the speculative mind it possesses a rare fascination.C.W.Williams offered to sell the colt Axtell when one year old for $300.He kept him two years longer and sold him for $105,000.A breeder was offered $5,000 for a colt when it wus six months old.He declined the offer, and kept the colt until it was four years old, and then sold it for $85, and the horse, ona of the best bred ones ever registered is now hauling a tip cart.The trotting mara Alcidalla who now has a record of 2.10}, and has won over $15,000 during the past three years, at one time could have been bought for $300.A brood mare that sold nine years ago for $11,000 has not yet produced anything of value, while Manette, who was at one time traded for a cow, is the dam of Arion, who eold for $125,000.For a yearling colt by Jerome Eddy, his breeder was offered $2,500, but he con- ciuded to keep him, and at six years old sold him for $200.Clarence Alexander paid $20 for Senator A., and with him has vron over $10,000.A little black colt, weary and footsore, tagging along behind a \u2018prairie schooner\u2019 in Missouri, was sold for $25, and six years later was the champion pacing stallion of the world.A Kentucky breeder refused to hitch up a royally bred stallion unless a prospective purchaser would take the horse at $20,000 if he proved satisfactory.Five'yenrs later the breeder sold the .stallion for $800.\u201d Now, will some one work will be one of the results of the big i please rise and explain when Direct was pattle.My Lo views on the matter have | sold for $25 in Missouri, for he is the only been frequently expressed, but the ring : 4, a, ; : is the real test MoCoy is not @ hard ; back stallion that has ever enjoyed the hitter, and his ability to stand gruelling punishment is untried.STUART WILL OFFER A PURSE.\u201cDan\u201d Stuart has decided to make an effort to arrange another contest between Robert Fitzsimmons and James J.Corbett for the heavy-weight championship of the world.Mr.Stuart told of h's intentions in regard to the big fellows on his arrival in New York from Chicago.The Texas sporting man says he believes the sporting public wants Corbett and Fitzeimmons to meet again, and he will do all in his power to have them face each other.Mr.Stuart said he intends to see both principals and their managers in the course of the next two weeks and submit to them articles of agreement calling for a contest to a finish, | to take place next July.\u201cI will offer them a liberal purse.\u201d said Mr.Stuart, \u201cand guarantee them absolute protection.In order that they may not lose anything if I fail to carry out my agreement I will post a substantial forfeit.I have three places in view, and they ure much more accessible than Carson Citv.One of the places is within forty-eight hours\u2019 ride of this city, and I have been gnaranteed that there will be no interference.I have looked over considemble territory for the contest during my trip west and south, and I am convinced that if Corbett and Fitzsimmons mean business they will not have any difficulty in settling their d'fferences in a pugilistic way.\u201d Stuart said he did not care to name the size of the purse he would offer for the battle.He does not expect anv trouble in securing the signatures to articles of agreement.\u2014_\u2014 RING NOTES.Jack Ward, of Baltimore, and Jack Me- Keck \u2018were matched yesterday at the Police Gazette office to box a preliminary to the McCoy-Creedon contest on December 17th.There will be a reception tendered to the three \u201cJacks,\u201d Skelly, MeAuliffe ana John L.Sullivan, $i December 10th, at the Empire Theatre, in Brooklyn.After the performance the \u201cJacks\u201d will be given a banquet at Skelly\u2019s Hotel, next door to the Greenpoint Sporting Ulub.Suhivan, Skelly and McAuliffe are the three boxers who took part in the memorable carnival at New Orleans in September, 1892.A number of prominent vaudevil'e stars have offered their services, and will attend the reception, BASEBALL.MANAGER IRWIN'S WAGER.Here is a unique wager made by Manager Arthur Irwin of the Toronto Club with Mr.Earl Wagner at the recent annual meeting of the National League in Philadelphia.Messrs.Wagner and Irwin were the centre of a group of baseball and newspaper men when the new players secured by the Washington Club from To.ronto came up for discussion.In the course.of the conversation Mr.Irwin said to Mr.Wagner: \u201cI will bet you a $50 suit of clothes and let you decide the bet that Jimmy McHale turns out next season to be the best player vou ever saw.I hive been in baseball a long while, witnessed the work of Jimmy Fogarty, Curt Welch, the Tanges and the Keefens, and if McHale ja not a better man than any of them to your mind I lose my bet.He may not bat as hard as Lange or Delehanty, but playing the game between the lines, that is, in fielding, base running and playing the fine points of the game at critical stages of the honor named.\u2014Chicago Horseman.A CLEVER STARTER.New Orleans, La., Dec.8.\u2014Curley Brown is among the recent arrivals from Nashville.The Cumberland Park people were so favorably impressed wilh the excellence of his work -at their recent meeting that they \u2018have already tendered to him the position of starter on all the tracks of the circuit to be operated by them next year.This circuit will include Nashville, Highland Park, Detroit, Fort Erie, Toronto, and perhaps one or two other tragks in Canada.In all probability Mr.Brown will do the starting at these BOWLING.WHEN AND WHERE.The Clubs in the Canadian Bowling Association Will Play Matches.\u2014 \u2014 Below will be found the schedule for the Canadian Amateur Bowling Association: \u2014 Dec.11\u2014Ottawa A.A.C.vs.Quebec B.& B.C.Afternoon.Dec.11\u2014Ottawa A.A.C.vs.St.Rochs AAA.Dec.18\u2014Victoria Rifles B.B.vs.Montreal AAA, Dec.18\u2014St.Rochs A.A.A.vs.Quebec B.& B.C.Jan.8\u2014Montreal A.A.A.AAC.Jan.15\u2014Quebec B.& B.C.vs.Montreal A.A.A.Afternoon.;

the champion of the newest balk-line billiard game.After the battle on Saturday night Schaefer served a written challenge on George in the hall of the Brunswick-Ballce-Collender Company.Ives to challenge in his behalf, and announced that the defi would be mailed to \u2018the donors of the emblem at once, together with a cheque for a preliminary deposit to bind the match.The question of the priority of these two challenges was decided by A.F.Troescher, of the eompany, in favor of Schaefer.Troescher said that the challenge had been formally served upon him at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning.Jake challenges Siosson to play a 600-point match, eighteen-inch balk line, one shot in balk or at anchor, for $500 a side and the emblem.He authorizes Troescher to deduct $250 from the second prize money of the tourney, which he won, to make good a preliminary deposit.His challenge stipulates that the game must be played within sixty days from Tuesday or the emblem forfeited to him.Ives\u2019 partner arrived at the Brunswick warerooms at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, and dictated a challenge in the \u201cYoung Napoleon\u2019s\u201d behalf.The one that Ives said would be mailed had not been received up to that hour.This proposition was added to the formal challenge required under the rules: \u2014 \u201cIn case Mr.Slosson should wish to change the rules I will play him a game of 3,000 points, 500 points each night, for six nights, and wager $5,000 to $2,500 that 1 can defeat him.\u201d Troescher told Ives\u2019 partner that as Schaefer had got there first with his challenge no consideration would be given to Ives\u2019 remarkable suggestion.in the handicap tourney at Chicago mext month, and it is likely that, as he has be a competitor.It was his original intention, however, not to enter.FOOTBALL BIG FOOTBALL RECEIPTS.Philadelphia, Pa., Dec.8.\u2014University of Pennsylvania Football team has played football so successfully that it has had this season $59,000 of gate receipts tq its credit.It has played fifteen games and its gross score is 465 to 20.The highest gate receipts at any game this season was in this city on November 20th, when 26,000 people entered the enclosure.It is estimated that the public paid $38,000 to see that game, but the club receipts fell a trifle under $20,000 by many tickets getting into the hands ot speculators.With the exception of Harvard the game, which is alternately played in Cambridge and here, and whose ¢receipts are divided equally for that season, the home games were played upon a basis of division which gives the visiting club 33 1-3 per cent.It will be seen that the University ot Pennsylvania team have had something over $35,000 for their fifteen games.\u2018I'he lowest day\u2019s receipts were $2,463, taken at a game with a state club.NIPPED IN THE BUD.Atlanta, Ga., Dee.7.\u2014Governor Atkii- son to-day vetoed the anti-football bill.He sent a message to the House stating he haa vetoed the

Fairly Firm in London\u2014 Montreal St.Railway Earnings.There was not much similarity betwe=n wheat and the local stock market this morning.One was on the boom and the other, stocks, were on the heavy side, going in some instances just a shade lower.Dullness too was quite an important feature of the local market and while what little business therd was was fairly well distributed, the lis?of sales is by no means an imposing one.Toronto Railway fails to show the snap it did some time ago, though there was no important change either one way or the other.Sixty-five shares changed hands at 86 and a little later 125 shares at 85%.Canadian Pacific in London was just a ghade firmer at 83 and here it was quoted at 81}, with sales of 175 shares.Comer- cial Cable was steady at yesterday\u2019 advance and there were few sales of Duluth preferred at 63.Coal shares were not active and business in the cottons was likewise limited.Montreal Street Railway earnings yesterday amounted to $3,436 an increase over the same day last year of $92.In Wall Street.Wall Street conditions this morning were outlined by the following wire to Mr.C.D.Monk: \u201cMarket regarded as substantial.Commission business much improved and heavy investment buying in bonds considered evidence general movement likely continue.Failure of sugar break to affect list considered satisfactory evidence of market\u2019s character.Conservative opinion still advises purchasers of active stocks on all recessions.Western Union quarterly statement indicates considerable competition on the part of Postal as the increase should have been larger otherwise.Talk continues bullish in sugar in spite of failure to declare extra dividend.Believed this would have been done but for premature gossip on the point Agreement

less than ten per cent., and will affect about 28,000 employes.The cause of the reduction is the depressed condition of the cotton market, which does not enable print cloth, it is asserted, to be manufactured for the price now prevailing, which is the lowest on record.A CORRECTION An item in the Herald yesterday announced the death of Mrs.Roy of Val- leyfield.The name should have read

shippers, returned from st.John, N.B., yesterday, and on \u2019Change he spent a few minutes in talking over the prospects for the winter port.Mr.Carruthers @imself has completed negotiations to ship a large amount of grain via St.John this winter, and is therefore thoroughly in touch with the situatioa.\u201cThe people of St.John,\u201d he remarked, \u201care evidently enterprising, and when you take into consideration the fact that the city is of about 45,000 and that nearly a million dollars has been spent in improvements, the results are remarkable, and, altogether, I think they deserve a great deal of credit.\u201cThe grain elevatar,\u201d said Mr.Car ruthers, \u201c\u201chas a capacity of from 250,000 to 300,000 bushels, and the feeling is that in order to accommodate the growing trad.there ought to be one of about 1,000,000 bushels\u2019 capacity.On the other hand, the shed accommodation for package freight is splendid, and in this quarter little improvement is needed.On the wihole, however, I think that the outlook for St.John is exceedingly bright and business the coming winter will be active.The mere fact of the steamers coming to the port has already given new life to the local trade there.\u201d _\u2014 ADVANCE IN GLASS, Prices Are Up From Five to Thirty Cents, A Moderate Sized Business Doing m Mixed Paints.There has been a uniform advance in glass and\u2019 prices are up all the way from gc to 40c.The change was decided upon at a recent meeting of the trade.In the paint market there has been a good trade in progress and orders for mixed paints have been coming in fairly well at current quotations.Linseed oil is firm abroad and the tone here is more or less in sympathy.Values are as follows: Choice brands of white lead, Government standard, $5.373; No.1, $5; No.2, $4.62}; No.3, $4.25; dry whice lead, 5c; red lead, pure, $7.244; zinc white, pure, $7.25; glass.$1.40 first break; $1.50 second break, per 50 ft.; $3.10 for third break, per 100 ft.;

This Morning, Ottawa, Dec.8.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Hon.Mr.JIills, Minister of Justice, received a cable co-day stating that the Imperial Privy Council bud dismissed the appeal in the cise of the Dominion against the Provinces in regard to the appointment of {Jucen\u2019s counsel, ; This means that the Ontario statute is valid, and that all the provinces have the risht to appoint Queen\u2019s

\u2018that a dectaration has been substitued for the oath to be made in Canada on the entry for export of articles not lisble to any export duty and others than wre exported under eustoms or excise

days\u2019 bicycle race opened in Madison Squage Garden, just half the number of original starters were still forging their way around the \u2018track.The frightful pace set by the leaders on Monday and yesterday had done its work well.OÙ the dozen and a half who were still straining every nerve to win fame and woney, there will probably be only about dozen who will finish out the race.Miller has a splendid lead with which to begin the last half of the contest.He was riding strong this morning, and cov- cred about thirty miles in easy style between 7 and 8 o'clock.«C.Rivierre, who was fifty miles behind.and the five men who were close upon Rivierre\u2019s heels, were all in first-class shape.From this bunch it would be hard \u2018to pick the winner.The rivalry between the French and German riders is one of the curious features of the contest.Schinner, Miller and Waller, when on the track together, always encourage each other amd make combined efforts to get the better of Rivierre and Stephane, while the Frenchmen stick close together and coach each other in their native tongue.Waller, though he has made spasmodic efforts to regain the lead which he held yesterday, is mo longer considered a serious faator in the race.Hale, who probably receives more applause than any of the contestants, plods along witih terrific energy, but seems unable to make any perceptible gain upon the

night and early morning.Miller's wheel slipped frem him ws he was aboul to dismount, and he fell down the incline, but was not hurt.Rivierre fell in the same way, with- vut any worse result.Beacon

night had it not been for bis trainers, who insisted upon his keeping on his wheel.Early this morning Gray\u2019s trainers followed their man around the track with a stick, urging him to \u201cget a

Brockville, Dec.8.\u2014(Special.)\u2014\"The Hi- nance Committee of the Town Council have sold to R.Wilson-Smith, of Montreal, local improvement debentures amountihg to $17,641.48 at 102}.The debentures bear four per cent.interest, and run for twen- $y years, THE SCHOOL REPORT Of the Protestant Board of Commissioners, FINANCES SATISFACTORY.Floating Debt is Now $23,786 02\u2014 Improvements Projected, The Protestant Board of School Commissioners have issued their report for the two years ending September, 1897.At the cutset, the report says: \u201cDuring the two years that have elapsed since the publication of the last report, no change has taken place in the personnel of the School Board; Rev.Dr.Mac- Vicar, Ven.Archdeacon Evans, Alderman James McBride, and Alderman R.Costi- gan, having been re-appointed on the expiry of their respective terms of office.\u201cThe Board has under its direct control fifteen schools, with an actual daily attendance of 7,708 pupils, as may be seen from the following returns.lt also subsidizes two other schools\u2014the McGill Mo- cel School and theBaron de Hirsch day school, After dealing with the various departments of the schools which are declared ta be in a satisfactory condition, the report thus speaks of the Board's finances: Since the date of its last report, the Board has disposed of the disused school buildings on Panet Strect, as well as the vacant lots adpoining the Aberdeen School.Arrangements have also been made by which those mortgage debts of the Board which had matured, ambunting to $44,000, were consolidated and placed at four and a quarter per cent.interest with the Canada Life Assurance \u2018Co, thus effecting a considerable annual saving.The floating debt of the Board for the ersction of school buildings, arising from the excess of expenditure over receipts, amounted as will be seen by reference to the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities to $23,768.02 on the 30th June last.The increased cost of maintenance now leaves only a small surplus of annual revenue over ordinary annual expenditure, much too small to enable the board to undertake further building operations.At the same time, as already stated, a new building for the senior school and increased s¢hool accommodaticn in the north-eastern part of the city arc immediately required.Two courses only are open to the commissioners, either to refuse to undertake further capital expenditure for the purposes indicated, or to borrow money for those purposes without prospect of repayment.To the first oi these the commissioners, regarding their4responsibilities as limited by the means now ut their disposal, unanimously adhere, ana in their opinion an increase in the rate ot the city school tax will be necessary in the near future if the legitimate demands of public education are to be met.P.C.CURRY\u2019S FUNERAL.It Will Take Place To-day to Mount Royal Cemetery.The funeral of the late Constable Curry will take place from \u2018his residence, 108 Canning Street this afternoon starting, at 2.30 o\u2019clock.The service will be held in St.Jude\u2019s Church and the body will be interred at Mount Royal Cemetery.About sixty of the late constable\u2019s comrades will attend the funeral in uniform.accompanied by the Poice Band.The detachment will be in charge of Captain Leggatt and Lieuts.Taylor and O'Donnell.It is expected that a squad of firemen will also be in attendance.BONUS FOR COLD STORAGE.The Minister of Agriculture has decided to extend the offer of a bonus for cold storage in connection with creameries which was Inaugurated at the beginning cf the season.The plan adopted was to grant a bonus of $50 for the first year and $25 cach for the two following years to such creameries as woul erectsind maintain cold storage warehouses of a given capacity.Many associations in different varts of the Dominion took advantage of the offer by adding cold storage apartments to their establishments; but in numerous instances awners of creameries became apprised of the offer too late to take advantage of it.These have made out a strong case for the continuance of the offer and accordingly the bonus has been extended.Such creamery associations as this winter provide themselves with adequate cold storage will receive the $350 bonus next year with $25 each during the two years following, making a subsidy of $100 in all.A bulletin to this effect will shortly be issued by the Department of Agricul ture, and all creamery owners desirous of earning the bonus will be supplied with working plans for constructing the requisite cold storage rooms.DEATH OF FRANK LABELLE.The last act in the life of Frank Labelle, once a well-known saloon-keeyer in Montreal, came yesterday afternoon, when he died at

RACQUET GAMES, À Splendid Match at Courts This Morning.A DOUBLE-HANDED GAME.eee The Visitors Give a Fine Exbibition of the Game, Every available seat in the gallery of the Montreal Racket Club was occupleu av twelve o'clock yesterawy, when the Lig double-handed game between Geo.Siand- ing and Mr.Ashworth on one side and Peter W.Latham and Albert Bridger was commenced.There was considerable bru- liant play, and the spectatois were liberal in their applause.Now that the great players have come and given an exlubition of their prowess, the members of the club are congratulating themse.ves on the rare treat that the visit of Messrs.A worth, Standing and Latham gave them.Never before in Canada was such grand playing witnessed on a court, and it 1s doubtful if its equal will be seen aga n.Peter Latham, by his recent pertorm- ances in London, in New.York and in Boston, has ampiy vindicated his title to the championship, and his confrere in yesterday\u2019s game, Mr.P\u2019ercy Ashworth, who until a year or so since, was the amateur champion of England, is one of the most agile and hardest hitting players that ever entered a court\u2014and this in spite of his almost diminutive physique.lf the use of such a term is permissible, one might say that in playing racquets Mr.Ashworth is practically \u201cubiquitous.\u201d Wherever the ball is, here, there, everywhere, there 1s Mr.Ashworth within touch of it.Standing, the New York man, is also a grand player and made up a peerless trio.Albert Bridger, the local professional, kept up his end well to-day.He re ceived a masty blow on the head from a ball.The score which is given below will give an mdication of the evenness of the play.Love sets were almost the order of the day, and in the \u2018total aces there is but little difference.The visit of the three players has done much for racquets in the city, and greater interest than ever is being taken in lic club.The score this morning follows = A vi is ull score o e matoh OO ne entorday at the Racquet.Court, between Mr.Percy Ashworth, late amateur champion of England, and Peter Latham, professional champion of the world, Latham gave Ashworth seven aces in each game, which, it will be noticed, added to his score of 49, brought his score up to 98, a very brillant performance.1st Game\u2014 3 shworth .7.00010330\u2014 7 PB Latham Las aa en ane aa 00006

ABOUT MEDALS Dr.Borden Will Interview Imperlal War Officials, It seems ta strange thing to have haps pencd, but it is stated on good authoritiy that there is no official record of the veterans of the b'enian raid ever having been engaged in the defence of their countny.The pay lists and rosters of the regiments that served during the raids were destroyed by order of Major-General Herbert, but it is said that Sir Adolphe Caron, who was Minister of Mililtia at the time, knew nothing whatever about it.| As a major who served in the raids said this morning, \u201cWe have not a shred of official evidence to show that ever we were in the honorable service of Canada, in case we wanted to prove that we were.This is too bad, not to speak of the outrageous vandalism of destroying rosters which must be of such historic interest, both regimentally and to posterity.\u201d Nothing definite has really been done in the matter of granting medals to those volunteers who served in the raids, and Dr.Borden, Minister of Militia, authorizes the announcement that no one need make any applications to the department at present, as absolutely no decision has been reached, nor will be until Dr.Borden has had an interview with the Imperial au- London, and during his visit will see the officials of the War Office concerning the issue of medals.All that has been done so far by them iis to advise the Canadian Government that they are willing to recommend medals for the me nwho took the field in 1866-70.When Dr.Borden returns an order-in-council will be issued to guide applicants for the medal.So far as the regulars are concerned, the Hon.Secretary of State for War has issued a notice to applicants who belonged at that time to the Imperial forces, that all applications for medals should be addressed to the General Officer Commanding the Troops in Canada, at Hali- ax.Major-General Gascoigne \u2018has been granted the Jub:lee medal in recognition of his having sent such an excellent contingent to represent Canada at the Jubilee celebration.A KLONDIKE LINE.Capitalists in Canada Making Arrgnge- ments for a Service.Mr.James Roche, member of the Imperial Parliament for Kerry, left

Vice toria and Vancouver, by way of the Stickeen route, \u2018to the Klondike.Yesterday Mr.Roche had interviews with the officials of both the Canadian Pacific and the Grand Trunk Railway, but these interviews, Mr.Roche stated, were absolutely private on nature.fe nas already made à most thorough personal examination of the harbors and landing points along the British Columbia coast.The syndicate which he Tepresents has already purchased two suitable steamers, of 4,000 tons each, from the well-known Cunard Company, and they expected these steamers would be at Vancouver by the lst of March, all prepared to start out on their trips.Mr.Roche believes that these two steamers will be capable of accomplishing two trips a week, leaving both Vietoria aid Vancouver.He is confident the rush for the gold fields at the opening of the season will be tremendous, and he stated that his line could have received at least 15,000 prospective passengers already had they started to book ahead of time.Inquiries are pouring in, not only from England, but from all over the continent, - W.D.& H.0.WILLS.\u201cThree Castles,\u201d \u201cBristol Bird\u2019s Eye,\u201d and \u201cCapstan Navy
