[" Ten N \u2014 Pages.The Feral.92ND YEAR.NO.1022, To-morrow\u2014More Thunderstorms, MONTREAL, MONDAY, MAY 1, 1899.PRICE'ONE CENT.EN SAUNTAIN PARK r IR THE PEOPLE Public Opinion is Strongly in Favor of the City Purchasing the Incline Ry.for the Use of the People.Yesterday may be said to have seen the real beginning for this season of the use of the Mountain Incline Railway.It had been in use for a week previously, but the summer heat of yesterday drove thousands of people to the mountainside for relief.It was observable yesterday, as always, that the service of the railway was reserved for the relatively well-to-do, for the passing of a single winter has not sufficed to enable the average mechanic to spend 8 cents each on himself and the half-dozen members of his family for the purchase of the privilege of reaching the mountain-top.Those who were well-to-do were carried to the mountain-top by the railway; those who were not well-to-do might walk there; but large numbers of those who perlfaps stood most in need of the better atmosphere of the moun- tainstop, as a change from the stuffy air of their homes in back tenements, were obliged to remain at the foot of the hill.This opens up once more the question of taking over the incline railway by the city for the purpose of making it easily accessible to thc masses of the peoole, & subject to which considerable attention was given by The Herald during thcse early: months of the winter when the revision of the city\u2019s charter by the City Council was in its final stages.We are of opinion that the City Council should now be asked to take the whole question under serious consideration, so that an arrangement may at once be made which will go into effect when the term of the railway company expires on May 1 next \u2018year.The first and best reason for insisting upon a change in the present systom is that after fourteen years the charge for a passage one way is still as much as 4 cents.If the company now in possession of the privilege had seen fit to reduce the fare to a cent or 2 cents the necd of having the city take over the property would not be so great, for then every part of the park might be said to be available to anyone, and the City Council, as representing the great mass of the popu- dation of the city, would have had little cause for interference.But the pruprietors, no matter what their reason, have not reduced the fare to a figure which is easily within ithe reach of everyone, and it becomes the duty of the Mayor and aldermen to take the steps which will end in such a reduction.No one would for a moment think of allowing the operation of a separate line of railway, say, on St.Oatherine street, on which there should be a straight fare of 5 cents, with no privilege of transfer from other lines Yet that would be precisely analogous to the situation at the mountain.It would be looked upon as an act of sheer folly to exclude St.Catherine street, or any other street, from the operation of the transfer system, and the same ought to be the view of the exclusion of the mountain railway from transfer arrangement with the general city railway system, for the mountain park is the choice breathing spot of the city, a valuable preservative of the public health.It ought to be made accessible to all at the very lowest cost.A Lower Tax Would Pay.It is not to be supposed that because the present operators of the road col- leat 8 cents for a return fare that the road can not ba wade to pay for less.The probabilities are that it could.A lowering of the fares has, in experience of enterprises of a similar kind, almost invariably led to so large an increase of traffic as to more than make up for the expected loss.And when it is remembered that on Saturdays and Sundays in midsummer it is not uncommon for fourteen to twenty thousand people, and possibly more, to visit the mountain in one day, the possibilities of euccessful operation at a low charge are at once seen to be good.Even though the road, with a nominal fare, were to be operated at a slight loss, the fact should not deter the City Council from undertaking the work, for the expenditure neces- sitabed by the deficit would be only doing for the poor people what is already done for the rich by the annual expenditure où large sums on the maintenance of carriage \u2018drives in the same park.It is a desirable thing, certainly, to have such a driveway as now leads from the base of the mountain to its top, and to have it maintained in a condition which will not reflect injuriously upon the credit of the city.But it is at least as desirable that in a city so congested as Montreal, with a deplorably high summer death rate in some wards, there should be the easiest possible access for all to the cool heights where currents straight {from the Laurentians.of pure air blow The cost to the city could not be large under any circumstances.Running six months in the year, the cost of operation could not well exceed $1,500, a sum which would be made up by an average «daily return of less than $9.If the receipts from traffic failed to make up this sum, it would Le indeed strange, but at the worst, the cost ito the city could only be the merest trifle, { lm Bl 1 Aldermen Favor the Purchase.In the previous discussion of the question there was the utmost unanimity of opinion amongst those whose views were obtained by The Herald.Ald.Sadler said he had \u201calways been in favor of the city owning the railway.If the company gets a renewal of the franchise it will not be on my vote.I also think the fare should be made so low that it will only pay operating expenses.We should not expect a profit from it, as that would be making the poorer classes of the people pay for maintaining the park, and that should not be done.\u201d Ald.Laporte said : \u201cI'he Herald's arguments in favor of the city buying the road and operating it at a small fee are sound.I have always noticed, on visiting the mountain, that the poorer classes do not go there, and the reason is tHat they cannot get there.Mr.McGibbon, the superintendent of the park, has told me the same thing.\u2018Lhe fare on the rail way should be so low that the park will be accessible to the people.\u201d Ald.McBride said : \u201cI am in favor of the city taking over the railway.The mountain wae intended for the people, and the railway should be operated so that the people could get to it.A fare of one cent each way is enough, and I think at that price it could be made to pay.\u201d Ald.Paquette said : get the fresh air of the mountain.the people want.\u201d \u201cIt would be better for the pocrer people if they could Cheap fares on the inclined railway are what Ald.Stevenson had \u201calways said the city should own that railway.\u201d Ald.Clearibue and Lareau expressed similar opinions.Mr.P.J.Ryan, organizer for Montreal of the American Federation of Labor, put the case against the present method of cperation in a nutshell when he said the company \u2018\u2018charge a fare that the average warkman cannot pay.The fare should be reduced to one or two cents, so that the poorest can ride to the mountain top and enjoy the park that is as much theirs as anyone\u2019s.The question of expense should not be thought of at all, for the roads are kept up at a great expense, but no one expects a revenue from them, and the same rule ought to apply to the railway.\u201d It may be confidently expected that many labor organizations will be heard from repeating the same view, and urging the City Council to take the desired action.WHRAT CITIZENS SAY.Opinions Expressed Regarding the Herald's Proposals in Connection With the Incline Railway.Many citizens have expressed their approval of The Herald's proposal regarding the incine railway.llere are a few: Pay the Street Railway.Mr.H.M.Bolger\u2014\u201cI am certainly in favor of having the mountain made more accessible to the working classes.It is their park, and the car service should be arranged so that workmen and all others willing to make use of it would be able to get to it easily and cheaply fromall parts of the city.\u201cTo y mind the best scheme would Le to make some arrangement with the Street Railway, by which transfers could be given up the incline railway.This would allow a person within reach of a street car getting to the top of the mountain for five cents.This would be the best scheme, I think, and the city should be able to arrange the matter with the Street Railway.The Street Railway would hardly take over the line, at least I would imagine not, so that it might be necessary to pay the railway vo much per pear to operate the line.Would Be a Great Convenience.Mr.W.L.Bond\u2014\u201cIt would certainly be a great convenience if a system of transfers could be arranged so that one fare would take a person from any place in the city to the top of the mountain.There are a great many people in Montreal who are now not able to make much Now is the time for the City Council to undertake the work.use of the mountain, to whom this would be a great boon.\u201cTI have not thought of the financial side of the question, and it would require a great deal of figuring to estimate the cost and profits of the system.I am not in a position to say whether the street railway could take over the incline railway and make it pay using the transfer system.It wpould be a good thing to have such a strong business management for the incline railway if only the street raibway could take it over.\u201d Mountain Should Be Free.Mr.Louis Rubenstein\u2014The mounta'n belongs to the citizens and was put there for them.1t is a magnificent park, and the eystem of cars connecting the city and the top of the mountain should be such that the mountain will be of real value to the citizens.That can oaly be by making the mountain free\u2014in other words, arrange the car service so that transfers can be ued by the Incline.Then people, from Point St.Charles, say, could get to the top of the mountain for 5 cents per head.; \u201cSomething should be done, at any rate, and if this could not be arranged, let the city take over the \u2018incline railway and operate it iteelf, charging a small fare.At the present time, with a car fare to the mountain and 8 cents to go up and down the mountain, it is impossible for a working man with a family to take them up the mountain for a outing.That is what the mountain is for, and it should be placed within the reach of everyone.\u201d Favors M.S.>.Taking It.Mr.James W.Tes.r, of the Laprairie Pressed Brick Company, thinks the best plan would be to place the inclie railway under the control of the Street Railway Company.With their organization and system they could take hold immediately and furnish a cheap and good service.There is no doubt but that cheape- rates should prevail from the city % the mountain top, as the poor people feel the present rates are too high.For Interests of Citizens.Mr.Fdgar Judge, when seen on the Board of Trade this morning, said: *L think the elevators should be run in the Interests of the citizens generally, and only a moderate fare should be charged, simply to cover the operating expenses.Certainly, I would be strongly opposed to granting a long lease to the present company.\u201d An Emphatic Opinion.Mr.H.W.Raphael said on \u2018Change this morning : \u201cI am decidedly against any extension of the franchise to those gentlemen who control the present company.They do not deserve tonsidera- tion at the hands of the corporation or the citizens.They took possession of Fletcher\u2019s Field without permission an built a track which is an eyesore to any person of taste.One would imagine.as they took unto themselves that privilege for nothing, that they would have kept the unsightly thing in proper order; but what have they done ?They put up a wire fence to prevent people being killed on the track.Inside this fence are tares and thistles and other attractions; the holes which are left for people to pass beneath the track, as many know to their cost, have a constant drip of oil, and no attempt ever made to rectify this.All this may please the aesthetic Mr.McNamee and his company, but as far as the public is concerned the railway is a failure as at present run, and it has feiled to take the poor people fo the top of the mountain as they promised.| say root that beastly extension out across Fletcher's Field and let the other part \u2018be put in proper condition by either the city or a company, so that the public will have confidence in it, and only be charged half the present fare.\u201d Favors Municipal Ownership.Mr.Jas.Contant.former presiaent of the Chambre de Commerce, said: On general principles, T am in favor of municipal ownership of all such things as street railways, if the municipal government is such as to give us a guarantee that the property will be exploited in an economical and efficient manner.In this case, however, the question is of small proportions.If the city can make satisfactory arrangements to take over the incline railway and lease it to the Montreal Street Railway, IT have no doubt that the result would be a vastly improved service at a lower cost.All the city need ask in the matter is to get enough returns to cover the interest charge on its investment, and 1t can get money cheaper than any private corporation.\u201d An Investment Neglected.Dr.J.M.Beausoleil said : I do not hesitate to endorse the proposition to acquire the incline railway so that it shall be operated for the benefit of the people, that is, so as to make Mount Royal Park the people\u2019s playground.Mount Royal Park is valued at $5,00,0000.It is a maz- nificent estate, but so far it has been of little advantage to those who do not own horses and carriages.Jn other words, the mass of the people are not getting the benefit of the city\u2019s large investinent in the park.Any proposition to make the park more accessible to the masses, even if it be at the cost of a small pecuniary sacrifice on the part of the city, is a good cne.There can be no more health-ziving recreation for men, women and children than a few hours spent on the mountain Oops A Splendid Idea.Dr.Germain, formerly chairman of the Beard of Health, said : \u201cThe idea of having the incline railway operated by the Montreal Street Railway, so as to give cheaper fares to the mountain top, is a splendid one.The city should not Inok so much to revenue as to the advantages which the scheme offers to the masses, but I am thoroughly convinced that cheaper fares would attract crowds and bring increased receipts.Workingmen Demand It.Mr.James Beland said: \u201cDo I favor the acquisition of the Incline Railway hy the city and transfer arrangements with the Montreal Street Railway?Why, thas is what the people have been calling for for many years.The workingman is anxious to visit the mountain, but present fares are too hign for his means.Since the city has acquired and beautified a park, its duty is to place it within the reach of every citizen, especially of the classes who are deprived of pure air in their homes.\u201d Mr.Eugene Lafontaine, Q.C., çaid: \u201cThe idea is one in the interest of the people; it should be carried out.\u201d Make the Pecple Moral.Mr.L.E.Morin, sr, former president of the Chambre de Commerce, said: \u201cI visited Mount Royal Park \u201chen I kept a horse and carriage.I have not been there since.I suppose that others who do not.keep horses do as I do.At ail events, I am for everything that will tend to attract the workingman and his family to our play grounds.Lt is not a question of health, but of morality also.If the workingman can not take his family cheaply to Mount Royal Park or some other place of rest and rccreatlon, be will | leave his wife at home and go to the saloon.\u2018And the saloon produces poverty, discontent, communism.By all means, let the access to Mount Royal Park be made cheap and easy.\u201d TORONTO PALACE HOTEL Provisional Board of Directors

his knickerbockers were buckled at the knees, and his Sunday boots were shining like mirrors.He felt quite pleased with himself, and perhaps he had reason to, as everybody seemed to be satis fied with him.Jean Louis is quite a celebrity, even among his playmates.If he plays marbles everybody else wants to be in the game; if he leaves, or is called away, well \u2014things get dull, and the crowd breaks up.This was all made very apparent to the reporter yesterday during the few minutes he spent with the youngster before he called at the house.The Father Talks.Mr.Joseph Taillon, Louis\u2019 father, was at home when The Herald man called, and a few words of explanation as to the object of a second visit were sufficient to secure an interview.\u201cI know little,\u201d began Mr.Taillon, \u201cof what my boy does in the way of curiny people.You see, I don\u2019t work in town.I'm foreman for the G.T.R.at Richmond and I come into town on Saturday evenings only, Therefore, 1 can\u2019t tell you what people, nor how many, come here in a day to see the boy and sk him to cure them.\u201d \u201cSo much has been heard of your 1it- tlo son,\u201d said the reporter, \u201cabout his curing people, that many, not doubting at all that he is your seventh son, would like to hear from the people who have been cured, and it is #o ask you for a list of such people and their addresses that I have come to-day.\u201d «Mrs.Taillon will be pleased to tell you that,\u201d was the answer, \u2018but I can assure you our Louis has more than a local reputation.Why, every \u2018day, at the works, where I am, in Richmond, I am asked to bring my boy there, 0 that he might cure a number of people in that ice who a id to be greatly afflicted.place who are sal That's not all, either.People rom St.Hyacinthe, Avctonvale, even so far donv n as Three Rivers, where I am well known to pecple working on the road with me, ask me to send Jean Louis there, and they will pay all expenses and give him a handsome reward if he will cure them.\u201cJean Louis could bring you in a hand- soma income,\u201d suggested The Herald man, \u201cif you would have people pay for their cure.\u201d «But that\u2019s not my style\u201d answered Mr.Taillon.\u201cI am able to keep my family, and I am not going to start my son out on the road working miracles for money.I have asked nobody to come here, and I will not ask pay of those who come.If they choose to give him anything, well and good, but they are free.Of course, I can\u2019t pay out money to send him any place for other people\u2019s benefit.If they want him they can pay all expenses and our loss of time.That is only just?But I'll never make a business of my son\u2019s privilege.\u201d A Bundle of Letters.\u201cYou have great confidence that he really cures ?\u201d \u201cMy confidence, indeed, is little compared to that of those who have been cured by him.Ask those who have been here and you will see.Confidence! Here\u2019s a proof of 1t,\u201d said Mr.Taillon, pulling out a bundle of letters from a paper rack.\u201cThese will show you,\u201d he said, \u201chow far and wide Jean Louis\u2019 reputation bas gone, and will show you, too, what confidence people have in him.Here, look at them.\u201d He handed the bundle to the reporter.One letter was from I\u2019 Ange Gordien, dated April 27, in which a Mrs.John Huot enquired if the child could cure a person without seeing her, as her daughter suffered considerably from weakness in the arms.Distance was the objection to a personal visit, and an immediate answer wae asked to the above request.A lady living on Montana street, in this city, sent a postcard to know if Jean Louis would go to see her.The nature of her illness was not given, but she wanted to see the child immediately.From Fall River, Mass, a lady, Mrs.Frechette, wroie a lengthy letter exposing a multitude of ailings, adding that life was unbearable for her.Her eyelids were falling out, her head was continually in pain, and, oh! what wouldn\u2019t she do if Jean Louis would only go down there and cure her.If he went there he might be assured of a great many visits.Expense would be no consideration.A gentleman, Louis Bonin, of Willimans tic, Conn., wrote to enquire if Jean Louis could be seen at any time.If so hae + would come immediately to see him.He stated he was 50 years of age, and had been a sufferer from paralysis for forty- one years.He had great confidence, and a reply from Mr.Taillon was all that would be required to make him come.Mr.A.J.Plamondon, of Lebanon, New Hampshire, says he is one of three people who will come to visit Jean Louis in the near future if Mr.Taillon wall assure them that his boy can really cure people.LL.A letter addressed to Jean Louis him- April 26, from a Mr.Demers, asking him if he could cure him of a sore throat without sceing him.1f cured he promised to send Jean Louis a beautiful present.The letter concludes with the words, \u2018Do your best.\u201d Mr.H.Gournier, of Cape St.Ignace, writes to tell Jean Louis that he is coming to Montreal in a few days if Mr.Taillon will write to him and say at what time the boy can be seen.\u201cThese area few of the letters we have been receiving,\u201d said Mr.Taillon, \u201cand they will explain better than 1 could what confidence people have in the boy.Other letters of a similar tenor were received by the Taillon family.They are too numerous to mention, but another may be noted, as it is from a well-known gentleman on St.Francis Xavier street, who has been suffering from paralysis for over two years and wants an interview with Jean Lous.The Mother Talks.Mrs, Taillon now came in and took part in the conversation, \u201cAmong the principal cures which have been obtained through Jean Louis,\u201d sle said, \u201cmany are worthy of serious consideration.1 will give you the names and addresses and you can go and see them.I canmot tell you all the cures he performs daily of tocthaches, earaches and such aftlictions; they are too numerous.No one could remember them.An old and venerable brother of the Christian schools, whose name I did mot ask, but who told me he belongad to a community in Longueuil, came here on Wednesday suffering from paralysis in his left side.He could hardly walk.Jean Louis put his hands on him and then told him to pray.The brother came back here on Friday afternoon and told me that he had almost completely recovered.He feels grateful to Jean Louis, and promised to have his picture taken.\u201d \u201cBy the way,\u201d added Mrs, Taillon, \u201cI might tell you that five or six photographers have sent word to me that whenever J would like to have Jean Louis\u2019 picture taken I will only have to go to their studios with him.\u201d : - Here is One Cure.After further conversation regarding the strangeness of Jean Louis cures the reporter left to find Mr.Edward Bourdeau, who, he was told had been cured of when- matism in the arm by Jean Louis.Mr.Bourdeau was out when the reporter called at 71 Ferdinand street, but he met Mr.¥.X.Lussier, who vouched for the authenticity of the statement made by Mrs.Tail lon regarding Bourdeau\u2019s cure.\u201cNobody kuows better than I do,\u201d he said, \u201cI know all about it.Mr.Bourdeau is Mrs.Taillon\u2019s brother, and I am Mrs.Taillon\u2019s brother-in-law.I live in Waterloo, and up to last Friday Mr.Bourdeau lived there too.Bourdeau is a blacksmith, and worked with me for the Central Vermont Railway.For a long time Bourdeau had been complaining of pains in his right arm and shoulder, and it came to such a point that he was uable to raise the bans mer.His rheumatism got worse every day, and he became so that he could not move his arm at all.Physicians and medicines were consulted and used to no purpose.There was on chamge.Three weeks ago he learned of the cures operated by his sister\u2019s child, and he decided to come to Montreal to see him.\u201d Mrs.Taillon\u2019s statement resardinge this case had been as follows :\u2014\u201cThree weeks ago Mr.Bourdeau, my brother, came here suffering from rheumatism in the richt arm.He could not raise his arm at all.He asked Jean Louis to cure him.The child simply rubbed his arm and told him to pray.The next day he returned, and Jean Louis did the same thing again.On Friday Mr.Bourdeau came again and he was cured, perfectly eured.\u201d A Seventh Son\u2019s Power.Mr.Lussier finished his statement by declaring that on Saturday, three days af« ter Bourdeau\u2019s departure for Montreal, he had returned to Waterloo perfectly able to use his arm.\u201cDo you really believe that Bourdeau was cured by Jean Louis?\u201d \u201cOf course I do,\u201d answered Mr.Lussier decisively.\u201cThat\u2019s something I must believe.I saw it with my own eyes, and T know the thing is true.\u201d \u201cHow do you think it was done?\u201d queried the reporter.\u201cI don\u2019t know; it\u2019s very mysterious, but there is no doubt the seventh son in a family has a gift.I believe that.Tweu- ty-five years ago, I remember well,\u201d continued Mr.Lussier, \u201ca man named Joseph Guinette, who was a seventh son, lived at Laprairie.One of my relatives was ruptured in two places.Doctors, medicines, nothing could eure him.He was brought to this Mr.Guinette and in the same manner as young Taillon does he passed his hands upon him and he was cured.I don\u2019t know how to explain it, but the thing is perfectly true, and the same I say of Mr.Bourdeaus anus,\u201d A Child Cured.The next visit the reporter made was Mr.R.Wiseman\u2019s, hotel-keeper, Mount Royal and St.Lawrence Matin street.On Friday, the 22nd inst., Mr.Wiseman\u2019s Tittle son, Stanley, four years of age, was taken ill with inflammation of the brain, so severe that he became unconscious on Saturday and remained so until Tuesday.The child was in terrible pain.Mr.Wise- man had often heard of little Taillon, and he now decided to send for him.The clerk was accordingly despatched in haste on the errand, and in answer to his request Mrs.Taillon allowed Jean Louis to go to see the infant Wiseman.Jean Louis was accompanied by his eldest brother Aline.It was nine o\u2019clock in the evening when the young 7Taillon arrived, and without delay was ushered into the sick chamber.Little Stanley was still unconscious.Jean Louis placed his little hands on the patient\u2019s head, and no sooner had he done so than the sick child opened his evés and within twenty minutes the terrible pain in the head had disappeared.On Thursday the little healer returned and repeated the same operation for weakness in Stanley\u2019s lez.On Saturday he waa much better.(Continued on Page 4.), _\u2014\u2014 te 2 THE HERALD, MONTREAL, MONDAY, MAY 1, 1899 10 REFINE NICKEL IN ONTARIO Montreal Capitalists Interested in a Big Company Now Being Formed.7 rans BIGGEST REFINERY YET.fr.BR.G.Leckie Says That Canada Has Not a Monopoly of Nickel Matte.rt AGAINST AN EXPORT DUTY.\u2018Toronto, May 1.\u2014\u201cWe are anxious to establish a large plant in Canada fur the refining of nickel and copper matte, and will do so as socn as favorable conditions are assured us.\u201d So said Mr.R.G.Leckie, Managing Director at Sudbury of the Or- ford Copper Company oi New York and New Jersey to a reporter last night.When it is understood that Mr.Leckie is Canadian manager of the company, which docs all the refining work for the Canada Copper Company, whose mines are the cnly ones in operation in the Sudbury district, it will be seen that his statements have considerable significance.Mr.Leckie, wh» Was seen at the Rossin House, is on his way to Ottawa on business in connection with the formation of a company to carry out the above intention.A charter has been applied for, the bill being in charge of Dr.Haley, M.P.for Hants.It wil come before the Private Bills Committee at Ottawa in a few days.Montreal Men In It.The new company, as provisionally organized, will be composed «£ directors from the Canada Copper Company, Orford Refining Company and other Canadian capitalists.They are as follows: Messrs.tobert M.Thompson, president Orford Refining Company, New York; John J.Thompson, managing metallurgical works, Constable Hook, N.J.; Jas.R.Wilson, of James Robertson & Company, metal merchants, Montreal; E.Goff Penny, M.P, Montreal; Hon.C.C.Colby, ex-M.P.P, Stanstead; R.G.Leckie, Sudbury., \u201cWe are exceedinzly anxious to locate in Canada and do all our refining here,\u201d repeated Mr.Leckie.\u201cAt present all the nickel matte has to be shipped from Sud- bury to our refining works at Constable Hook, N.J., to be reduced to pure nickel and.copper.The Canada Copper Company 13 continually charged with desiring to work against the interests of Canada by doing ifs refining in the United.States.I want to say that this is mot the case.\u201d \u201cWhat are the conditions that are here lacking and which you now have in N ow Jersey ?\u201d 1 Ady Want Cheap Coal.\u201cIn the first place, we want cheaper coal.At present there is a duty of 60 cents per long ton on bituminous coal eun- tering Canada.While coke, on which there is mo duty, is used by the smelter af Sudbury, yet we need coal for refining, and it 1s too expensive here compared wiih what it is in New Jersey.Another important article of which we use a good deal is a flux of soda ash or of sulphate of soda, in refining the nickel.It is plentiful and cheap in New Jersey, but it is not so by any means in Canada.Should we establish here we should have to import it for a time, but no doubt a supply would ultimately Le forthcoming, We would also want to be in a position where we had plenty of power, and where there would be good transportation facilities both for the shippine of ore from the mines to the refinery and for the export of nickel to the outside market.; \u201cGiven conditions that are at all ap- Pproximately as favorable as we have in New Jersey, we shall put up in Canada the largest refining plant in the world.We \u2018have ample capital and a staff of experienced metallurgists equal to any in the world.The President of the ew company is Mr.R.M.Thom son, who is the chief promoter of the enterprise.The charter will provide for a capital of $2,000,000, but it will probably permit of an increase to 25,000,000, \u2019 Ore From Two Places.\u201cWe will not only make use of Sudbury ore if we establish here,\u201d Mr.Leckie continued.\u201cbut we will also draw on the ore from British Columbia.There is a great deal there now from the large mines which contains copper and other metals which are wasted on account of the lack of a refinery.We would have them shipped to our refinery, where all the metal weuld be extracted from them.This would, of course, be dependent upon our getting satisfactory freight rates from British Columbia.Our refinery would be made capable of treating 200 tons of matte per day.We would be at an advantage here in establishing our plant, as we have much more experience than when we bean in New Jersey.Our works in the latter place would not be given up, as we would supply them with matte from other places if necessary.As the United States only consumes one-fifth of the nickel pro-

during the day from the Secretary of the Orford Copper Company, at New York, in which he stated :\u2014\"The active agitation of the Canadian papers is having \u2018the effect which we have expected, for to-day we are in receipt of a cablegram from Mr.R.M.Thompson, our president (now in Engiand), informing us that he hae purchased and is shipping 3.000 tons of New Caledonia nickel ore to New York, and is offered 3,000 tons more of the same at 11 cents per pound f.o.b.New York.\u201d Mr.Leckie is firmly opposed to the imposition of an export duty on nickel matte by Canada, saying it would simply tie up the business at once and close the Sudbury mines, as there would be no market that could buy the product at the increased price.Although not saying as much, it appear ed from the conversation that the new refinery, if erected, will be located in Central Ontario, where there will be good water communication, and in this connee- tion it is understood that Toronto has a very good chance of securing the industry.pre ESTERHAZY'S EVIDENCE.He Trifled With the Court and Added to the Impression That Dreyfus is Innocent.Paris, April 30.\u20141Lhe concluding part of the testimony given by KEsterhazy before the Court of Cassation in the Dreyfus revision proceedings, published in the Figaro Saturday, shows that Esterhazy was asked by the president of the Court to give evidence in proof of his statement that he was really employed by Colonel Sand- herr.Instead of answering directly Esterhazy took refuge in vague suggestions, breaking in an outburst against Weill, Cure, Bertulus, and Jules Roche, who appeared as witnesses against him, and accusing them of cowardice and treachery.The president again tried to nail him to the particular point, Dut Iisterhazy, eel- like, slipped away, proving that he was trifling with the court.However, he absolutely denied ever having admitted that he wrote the bordereau, accusing Rowland Strong, the Paris correspondent of the London Observer, of being a liar.He only decided upon disappearing suddenly, he said, when he heard of Henry\u2019s death, and the Pais informed him that the streets were filled with detectives, two friends ad- wising him, that \u2018\u201c\u2018with such scoundrels there were only two remedies, the revolver or flight.\u201d Iisterhazy deposed that he went from 3Jrussels to London, owing to Strong's pressing invitation.\"he lizaro also publishes the text of Esterhazy\u2019s letter to General Bilot, written on October 23, 1897, in which he indicates the possibility that Dreyfus traced the bordereau over his (listerhazy\u2019s) handwriting.He also points out that the Jews knew he was personally acquainted with Col.Schwarz- koppen, the German military attache, and openly visited the German Kmbassy.There- tore, he could easily be made a scapegoat.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 en DUKE OF BEAUFORT DEAD.Passed Away in His 76th Year-A Sketch of His Life.London, April

TROOPS.\u2014\u2014 London, April 20.\u2014The special cablegram to the New York Times says :\u2014 The inaccurate repart of the speech ot Lord Selborne, Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, by which he was made to say that a dissolution of Parliament was imminent, would not have attracted so much attention if it were not an open secret that the Conservative party managers in the provinces have recently sent alarming reports to London concerning the waning power of their side, and warning the Government that the longer dissoluiicn was postponed the worse the election would be for them.The languor and dissatisfaction of the Conservatives in the Commong are conspicuous.Many members, disillusioned concerning Parliamentary life, will not stand again, and the Government itself is honeycombed with personal misunderstandings and cross-eur- rents of conviction.There will, however, be no dissolution this year.The Jovern- ment cannot go to the country except upon some notable issue or after some striking legislation.Neither of these is in evidence to-day.In secret councils of {he Tory party following, intentions prevail, after passing the London Government Lifl and minor measures, that the present session be closed as early as possible in August, and that there will be no autumn session.When Parliament reassembles the Queen\u2019s speech will announce a bill for the

over this bill, but it will be passed by the Government\u2019s overwhelming majority.Thereupon Lord Salisbury wit dissolve Parliament about the middle of next year.If the Conservatives win the election he will retire, Baliour becoming Prime Minister.At any rate, whether this programme be carried out or not, the announcement of the redistribution bill may safely be regarded as the signal for the next election.Lord Rosebery\u2019s Plans.Meanwhile the political developments which I anticipated last Sunday will come off next week.The extraordinary demonstration of popularity occasioned by the wedding of Lord Rosebery\u2019s daughter, which, if rumor may be trusted, has evoked some jealousy in quarters usually thought inaccessible to such sentiments, ha: decided Lord Rosebery himself to reenter within certain very definite limits the political sphere.On Tuesday he takes the chair at the dinner of the E:ghty Clu5, a militant Radical organization founded to commemorate the sweoping Gladstonian victories of 1880.On Friday he presides at the dinner of the London City Liberal Club, one of the few organizations which remained unaffected by the home rule split, and contains Unionists and Radi- .cals in equal numbers.Nothing is further from Lord Rosebery\u2019s intention that to make any kind of a bid for the Liberal leadership or to modify, so far as he personally is concerned, his retirament from active participation in politics.Tt may be taken for granted, whatever be aflirm- ed or denied by uninformed writers, that one or two things would alone bring this, about\u2014one a clear and virtually uvnani- mous call from his party, or, second, the conviction that on any particular issue patriotic duty imposed speech upon him.The latter was the case at the Fashoda crisis.But the Liberal leadership being now decided for the time, the party having settlad down harmoniously and enthusiastically to work, there is no reason why Tord Rosebery as an individual shouid not express his opinions upon certain matters of general mrincinle deeply concerning the future of Liberalism.This, I believe, is what he will do next weel, notably with regard to true and false imperialism, and the effect of his utterances in the country will assuredly be very great.The Anglo-Russian Tntente.On March 20 I cabled you that the Anglo-French African convention was about to be followed by a convention with Russia, only the details of which CATARRH OF THESTOMACH \u2014 A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Effectual Cure for It, Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable.The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied with sour or watery risings, a formation of cases.causing a pressure on the heart and lungs, and difficult breathing; headaches, fickle appetite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling.\u2018There is often a foul taste\u2019 in the mouth, \u2018\\coated tongue, and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed condition.| The cure for this common and abstin- ate trouble is found un à treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested DLefore it las time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surface of the stomach.To secure prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do, and when normal digestion is secured the ecatarrhal condition will have disappeared.According to Dr.Harlanson, the safest and best treatment ig to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diastate, Aseptic, Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and These tablets wan now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuarts Dyspapsia Tablets, and not being a patent medicine can be used with perfect sufctv and assurance that healthy appetite will follow their regular use after meals.Mr.N.J.Booher, of 2710 Dearborn street, Chicago, 1ll., says: \u201c\u2018Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes inflamed, and the poisonous discharge therefrom passing backward into the throat reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach.Medical authorities presenibed for me for three vears for catarrh of the stomach without cure, but to-day I am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart\u2019s Dyspepsia Tablets.1 cannot find appropriate words to express my good feeling.I have flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use.Stuart's Dyspapsia Tablets is the safest as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indiges- Lion, catarrh of the stomach, biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meais.Send for little book, mailed free, on stomach troubles, by addressing F.A.Stuart Co.,

return for Russian recognition cf British predominance elsewhere._ To-day's Morning Post in its second edition announces from S%.Petersburg that this agreement was signed yesterday, Russia binding herself not to attempt to obtain, or to assist another power to obtain, railway or similar concessions in the Yang-tse Valley, while Great Britain gives an identical pledge regarding Manchuria.There is some ground for the belief that the agreement is not to be limited to China.After the undeniable sharp practice of the Russian Foreign Office\u2014to use the mildest term \u2014which resulted in the immediate change of the British Ambassador, everybody will await the exact terms of the agreement before attaching any value to it.If it proves satisfactory, important developments will follow, for Witte, the Russian Minister of Finance, is a most enlightened man, and because Russian finance and commerce are in such tight straits that the most influential Russian statesman recently submitted a searet report to the Czar declaring that British capital and British purchases are absolutely essential to Russian prosperity, and adding that these will not be forthcoming unless British opinion be reassured upon Russia\u2019s policy and good-will.Meanwhile to all the Russian difficulties which I have previously pointed out new embarrassment is added.Except in Finland, whose loyalty survives even the perfidious blow at its inlependence, there is not a single high-class educational establishment open to-day.All have been closed by the police till the end of the year, and only a minute proportion of the students 13 undergoing examinations.The St.Petersburg prisons cannot find room for more students, yet arrests and domicilliary visits are occurring nightly.Many of the students have been exiled to Siberia.On Thursday last 230 girls in the Women\u2019s High School were ordered by the police to leave the city within forty-eight hours.The social disintezration thus eaus- ed now and the disorganization in the public service which will result in the future are incalculable, and add greatly to the Russian necessity for relief from external anxiety.American Affairs Discussed.The fact that the same week brings news of the Filipinos\u2019 overtures for peace and their repudiation of the attractive offers of the Presideit\u2019s proclamation, justifies those British experts who all along, declared that hard knocks from Gen.Otis and Gen.MacArthur would do far more for peace than any .printed invitations, however amicably phrased.All the London papers during the week have published columns of detailed description of the fighting, accompanied by cordial comments upon the gallantry and the tenacity of the American \u2018forces, and particularly of the magnificent personal initiative and dash of officers and men alike.The opinion prevails that if operations are now for a short time pushed on more vigorously than ever, wholly regardless of the rather insolent request for an armistice, while the bad seasor advances and the Filipino Congress makes up its mind, the end, so far as Luzon is concerned, is at hand, and the subjugation of the rest can be undertaken leisurely, piece by piece.Two other American matters are the.subject of universal talk to-day.The first\u2014and to Eug- lish readers it is astounding\u2014is the fact that responsible, indeed eminent, Amori- can cifizens send by mail to American troops in the field personal incitements to insubordmation, I presume the general American comment upon this is identical -vith that heard here, which therefore need not be transmitted.The second subject is the awful ebullition of racial hatred in the South.The recent cables announcing me this have produced a greater impression than I ever remember this matter to have evoked before.Intelligent Englishmen know well that the negro problem in the South is one of vast ditiiculty and delicacy, and our own relations witi¥ the black racas all over the world lead to much sympathy, with a determination that any white community shall not be swamped by the blacx population.But ithe savagery of the recent lynchings takes everybody by surprise; nobody was prepared to learn that such barbarie passions exis:ed in whrte breasts under the Stars and Stripes.The question is asked in blank astonishment why meither the State nor the Federal power \u2018mtervenes instantly and irresistibly.On one evening a bundle of letters on this subject from its readers reached onc newspaper office.A number of these from simple citizens of the humbler class asked Lhe editor quite seriously to tell them whether this news really referred to the well-known United States, North America, which had recently fought Spain to free Cubans from oppression and cruelty.A Policy of Duplicity.American readers have probably thought me at times guilty of partisanship in my criticisms of Lord Salisbury in the matter of China.In selt-defence 1 may call attention to one little incident.Under Secretary of Ntate for loreign Affairs Brodrick was asked in the House of Commons this week whether the so-called Belgian syndicate, which, of course, rests upon the so-called Russio-Chinese Bank \u2014 that is, upon the Russian Government \u2014 and which has a concession for the Peking-Hankow Railway had acquired the reversionary rights of the line from Hankow to Canton.This 1s a question of momentous importance to Great Britain, both because such a line 1s the backbone of the Yang-tse Valley and because the vast, wealthy, trading city of Canton is the mart of British trade from Hankow.Secretary Brodrick replied that the Government had no information upon this point.The fact is that hte official prospectus of the loan for the Peking- Hankow Railway was issued in Paris a fortnight ago, and it was stated formally on the authority of the French Minister at Peking that the abore reversoinary rights A BAD LIVER Caused Continual Suffering\u2014Mr.Biron was Cured by Using Dr.Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 When the liver becomes torpid and slug- g:sh, there is endless suffering from biliousness, sick headache and stomach troubles.The blle goes through the system, poisoning and deranging the ongans of the body.Mr.Edouard Biron, Printer, 140 Sangui- net street, Montreal, endured the miseries of liver complaint for many months before he was cured by Dr.Chase.He writes: \u2018y am one of those persons who to-day give praise to Dr.Chase for health Testcrod, After having suffered continually with liver complaint, and loss of vitality, which made me despair of life, I was advised to try Dr Chase\u2019s Kidney-Liver Pills.1 did so, and \u2018am now grateful for that advice.Dr.Chase's Kidnay-Liver Pills have oured me, and | am truly a new man.\u201d ot Dr.ase\u2019s Kidney-Liver Pills ha - rect action on these delicate organs, ang x making them healthy and vigorous ensure Pure healthy blood.One pill a \u2018dose, 25 cents a box, at all dealers, Bates & Co., Morents.| or Bdmanson, - had been granted to this syndicate.This official prospectus was duly reproduced and commented upon in the Times and other papers.Swr~ly no words are too strong to apply to a Government which attempts to befool the country in this puerile fashion.An English Joke With a Point.London society is peculiar in the fact that there is generally one particular new Joke in circulation, not to know which is ot show one\u2019s self outside the movement.A majority of these jokes, it is needless to say, come from America, the fountain of almoset all really original wit and humor of our time.This week\u2019s joke I believe to be home-made.It is as follows:\u2014 During Kipling\u2019s illness Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany sent a graceful and cordial message, expressing the hope that his lite might be spared.On Kipling\u2019s recuvery the Kaiser conterred the Order of the Black Fagle\u2014of the second class \u2014 upon Providence., \u2014_\u2014 FILIPINOS DEFIANT.They Have Not Yet Agreed to Lay Down Their Arms-and Be Good.Manila, April 29.\u2014The conference to-day between General Otis and Colonel Manuel Argueleses and Lieut.Jose Bernal, who came from General Luna, under a flag of truce, yesterday, to ask for a cessation of hostilities, was fruitless.It is understood that the Filipino commissioners were given the terms upon which the Americans will consent to negotiate.The Filipinos admit that they have been defeated, and it is expected that they will return with fresh proposals from General Luna.; Washington, D.C., April 29.\u2014The following despatches from General Otis were given out to-day: Manila, April 29.Adjutant General, Washington: pril

Jumped the Track Near the City.ft\u2014\u2014 IT WAS RUNNING TOO FAST.Engineer Was Careless and While Rounding a Curve the Accident Happened.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE COMPLETE LIST OF NAMES, psc Rochester, N.Y., April 30\u2014The most disastrous railroad wreck that has ever happened on a Radchester railroad occurred at 2.48 o'clock this afternoon on the Rochester & Lake Ontario Railroad, better known as the Bay Railroad, about one- half mile north of the city line, when two cars on an excursion train filled with passengers left the track, while going around a curve at full speed, and were completely wrecked.\u2018I'hree passengers were kilied, a dozen fatally hurt, and over fifty injured.The following is a partial list of the dead and injured : Dead\u2014John Helberg, aged 20, died at Homeopathic Hospital.J.Tierney, aged 24, died at the City Hospital.Unknown man, died shortly after being removed from the wreck.The seriously injured : Julia Sullivan, 18, fractured collar-bone.George Brasser, 36, compound fracture of the forearm.Emil Steingraber, 23, back badly jured.Otto Hahnke, 21, both legs bruised and bones of right hand broken.Wiliam Goodman, 22, severe scalp wound.; Emil Sehram, 18, small bones right foot broken.\u2019 .John Bierschall, 42, compound fracture of right leg.: Emma Tuefel, 17, nose broken, face terribly lacerated.2.© James Lombard, internal injuries, may prove fatal.J.E.Moore, H.L.Aiborie, Oscar Dor- schal, William Doerror, C.Rhinehart, John Sullivan, Charles Werner, Joseph Zimmer.The two latter are very seriously injured and may die.in- Running Too Fast.The train, which was crowded with excursionists bound for different points along the shores of Lake Ontario, left the lay depot in the city at 2.41 o'clock this at- ternoon, about fifteen minutes late.Every seat in the coaches was filled, and a large number of people were standing on the platforms.The train was made up of an engine, one closed and two open coaches.There is a yrade about 100 yards from the corner of North avenue and Ridge road, and when this grade was reached the speed of the train increased perceptibly.Those standing on the platforms clutched the railing and standards, and the passengers 1n the open cars clung to their hats and capes.Down the grade swept the train, its speed increasing almost constantly.When the fatal curve was reached, the engine rounded it with startling rapidity.Next to the engine .was the closed carriage, and when it reached the curve it veered over to the north, and rode around the curve on the wheels on the left side.It had negotiated but part of the bend in the track when it left the rails and shot straight ahead.There was a sudden crash as the couplings between the engine and coach were severed, and then it again veered over and ploughed through the earth for several feet before dropping on its side in front of the Ridge Road Ho- el.When the first coach left the track the engine sped on down the track and the other coaches were forced off the track.The second coach scraped alongside of the one that left the track, tearing away the platform and otherwise injuring the car.These cats, impelled by the force they had already received, ran ahead for about 100 feet.\u2018The engine whirled on down the track, and was not stopped until it had gone nearly a mile.The closed coach, which was overturned, had in it a partition that divided the front part from the rear.The front compartment was a smoking compartment.In it were several men, and standing in the entrance were two women and a little girl.\u2018These were thrown into a jumbled mass against the roof of the car, and were pinioned under the seats and the partition in the car, which was torn to splinters.John Hilberg was standing on the platform between the second and third cars when the crash came, and was caught between the two cars and crushed to death.His body was removed with great difficulty and sent to the morgue.A few minutes after the accident occurred railroad men and others were at work removing the sufferers from the wreck.Little Emma Tuefel was among the first of the wounded taken from the wreck.Her face was covered with blood, her nose broken, and cuts and bruises over her face, hands and arms.George Brasser, who sustained a compound fracture of the forearm, was found pinioned under a heavy beam, and was removed with considerable difficulty.The work of rescue was energetically carried on, and as soon as each sufferer was taken out he was sent to the hospital.Ambulances had been quickly summoned from the city and although it was a long run.remarkable quick time was made.The ambulances carried extra doctors, so that the wounded were quickly attended to, and the more seriously hurt were hastily removed to the several hospitals, PAINTERS WILL ORGANIZE Yesterday Afternoon There Was a Mass Meeting Under the Auspices of the Federated T.& L.Council, Yesterday afternoon, under

disappearance, though at one time it was reported that he had been engaged in a row with some companions and that possibly he had been thrown from a bridge and drowned.Lying on this bridge was the coat of the missing man, and letters found in the pockets not} only established Mis.identity, \u2018but showed also that he was shortly to have been married to a young lady who at the time was here on a visit.On the claims of foul play made, Detective Rogers, of the Provincial Government, visited the scene and made an investigation.His report did not bear out the foul play the- cry, and nothing further was heard of the missing man until the receipt of the telegram yosterday morning.Mr.James Snell leaves for Rose Point to-morrow morning, fcr the purpose of identifying the remains of his son.Rufus Burer, one of the oldest and most respected residents cof the County of Leeds, died at the General Hospital here on Saturday.He was born in South Crosby in 1820, and spent most of his long

CO.Jas.S.BRIERLEY, Managing Director, MONDAY, MAY 1.[\u2014 TWO YEARSOF PROSPERITY.In the debate following the introduction of the Kielding tariff in 1897, Hon.Mr.Paterson, Minister of Customs, ventured the following statement of the probable outcome of that tariff: \u201cWhile some may think that we have net gone far enough, and others that, in some lines, we have gone too far, yet I am rejoiced to know that these resolutions meet with the approval of the people of this country.And 1 am rejoiced to believe, as 1 do believe, that this country will go on prospering and increasing under the benefits of the measure that has been miroduced for the consideration of the llouse.And, should the House adopt it, 1 believe an era of greater prosperity is about to dawn upon Canada, and that irom ocean to ocean, every pravince and every portion of every province will fecl the quickening and reviving influence of the resolutions that have been submitted.\u201d No Conservative, we imagine, would hare denied to Mr.Paterson, who had a large part in the work of revising the tariff, the privilege of thus expressing his fullest confidence in the outcome oË that work, but it may, perhaps, be question- cd if any Conservatie who then heard or read Mr.Paterson\u2019s remarks, was quite prepared to see his predictions so amply realized as they are found to be after two vears have passed.And yet Mr.Fielding is expected to lay before the House to-morrow a statement of the affairs of the nation, the details of which may be expected to indicate an even greater measure of prosperity than was predicted by Mr.Paterson and the other speakers for the Government in the budget debate of two years ago.It is true that in that time there have been two abundant harvests and that excellent prices have ruled; but that has not been the whole secret of the country\u2019s success.No matter how good the crops or high the prices the industries of Canada would not be in the secure position they occupy to-day were they still operating under the Foster tarf, with its many anachronisms.The whole iron industry of the country was, prior to introduction of the Fielding tariff, completely disorganized.The high duties on pig iron, the badly-gauged duties on rolled iron, and the still worse duties on iron in the final and semi-final stages of manufacture, were the source of constant discouragement to all whose capital was invested in iron-using industries.Within a week after the Fielding tariff was introduced, those manufacturers who were large users of iron had openly expressed their satisfaction with its terms.Iron enters into almost every process of manufacture to some extent, so that the advantage arising from the sensible handling of the iron schedule was not confined to one set of industries.Other industries have been encouraged in many other ways.It would be interesting to point cut just in what way the various industries of Montreal, for example, were relieved from taxation by the remission of duties on articles entering into their manufacturing processes.What is well known to the heads of these industries is that some considerable advantage has been given to every one of them by the painstaking revision of the tariff undertaken in 1897.Conservative organizers and parliamentarians find so many traces of satisfaction on the part of their old-time principal supporters that they have taken to reproaching the Liberals for having stolen the principle of protection.The whole extent to which the statement is warranted is that this Government has given manufacturers their material cheaper.Conservative are, of course, not quite honest in this charge, for everyone knows that protectionists have always beer.willing in theory to put high taxes on anything without much regard to whether the article protected has to be used in some higher process or mot.In fact, protection aims to make everyone rich by high taxation.Free trade, on the other hand, has succeeded in Great Britain because it enables the British manufacturer to compete against the world through being relieved of taxation.That is the whole difference between the two systems, and if the Canadian manufacturers are learning that the much-derided Free Trade theories are more conducive to their success even in their present limited application than all the boasted practicality of high tariffs, it must be admitted that a long and a safe step has been taken in the direction of that tariff reform towards which the country set its face in the election of 1896, _\u2014\u2014 SIMPLER WEIGRATS AND MEASURES From time to time we hear the Chambre de Commerce or some otirer body call for the adoption of the metric system in Canada.At the present day the change would be hard to accomplish, and it will be so long as England and the United States, the two natioñs with which we carry on the bulk of our trade, do not take the lead.But it is perhaps not generally known that if Thomas Jefferson could have secured the adoption of his ideas, the United States would have begun using the metric system of weights and measures when it began using the decimal system of money; and that Canada would likely have adopted both when it inaugurated its responsible Government.To-day the metric system is in use in all of the most important civilized nations, except those of English tongue, who go on with their cumbersome computations which foreigners do not even attempt to understand.eet J It is somewhat with this matter as with the revision of the calendar.Furopean na\u2018ions had adopted the Gre gorian calendar long before England thought of doing so.It was not until merchants and manufacturers sew that English conservatism wa® injurious to English trade that the change was made from the old style to the new.Something like a real campaign on behalt of the metric system has at length been started in England, and the reason urged for the change is the commercial one, as in the case of the calendar.The sudden increase of interest in this far from novel subject is due to a developing appreciation on the part of British manufacturers of the long obvious fact that dangerous trade rivals owe something of their suc- ocss to the use of size, value and weight units that are known all over the world.Canadians will welcome the day when they can adopt a system of weights and measures in harmony with their monetary system.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 THE CHURCH AND THR HABITANT: The Orange Sentinel is very much exercised over the fate which it believes threa$- ens our fellow-citizens, the French- Canadians, at the \u2018Hands of the Church of Rome.The immediate cause of its anxiety is the fact that the foundations of the new cathedral at Nicolet have given way and that' money will be required to strengthen them.Thereupon the Sentinel expatiates as follows i= \u201cWhatever the final decision may be as to the amount of costs for the repairs the taxpayers of the diocese will have to foot the bill; and as a result they are up in arms against the new tax which they will have to pay.The papers assert that the diocese is already burdened with heavy taxes which crush out the farmers, and that further imposts mean ruin.The whole Province-especially the rural dis- tricts\u2014seems stirred over the case, and many people are beginning to enquire how long they are to continue to be taxed in this way by such a powerful and wealthy body as the Church of Rome.It is asserted in Quebec that the greed of Rome as thus exemplified is larzely responsible for the exodus from the Province, and that the New England States have now hundreds of thousands of ¥rench-Canadian re: sidents who would have gladly remained \u2018n the Dominion had they not been ground into abject poverty by a system of clerical taxation not known in any other part of the Empire.We trust to see the people of Quebec protest against this clerical taxation and oppression, and that at no distant date the Church of Rome in Quebez and elsewhere will have to subsist exclusively on the free-will offerings of her own members and not on taxes and imposts wrung from a poor people.\u201d The Herald has no special mission to interfere in these matters, but as the Sentinel is ewidently laboring under serious misapprehensions, it might as well be set right.When the Sentinel! speaks in the same breath of a diocese burdened with debts and of the wealthy Church of Rome it makes a distinction which it would probably be at a loss to define more clearly.The Catholics of the Province of Quebec are not compelled by law to contribute for anything else than the support of their own parochial church and of their pastor.Whenever they contribute towards any other religious work they do so voluntarily; and tor that the Sentinel will no doubt praise them, as it says in another column of the same issue :\u2014 \u201cThere is nothing that so clearly demonstrates the earnestness of one\u2019s religions convictions as their willingness to put their hands in their pockets and contribute their money to church enterprises.\u201d The only clerical taxes permanently authorized by law are \u2018the tithes.\u2018These were originally the twenty-sixth bushel ot all cereals raised in the parish by Catho- lies, and were paid in lieu of a salary to the cure.The collection of it is never pressed before the courts except in rare causes where there is ill-feeling between the parishioner and the pastor.In recent years many parishes have arranged to pay a salary to their pastor instead ot tithes.In the case of the building of a parish church, the matter is considered by the freeholders, who have the right to decide how much they will expend and how much they will assess themselves, the same as the ratepayers of any municipality, and their representatives, the marguilliers, Lave the right to supervise the expendilure ot the money and to audit the books of the parish.As to the French-Canadians being ground down by the weight of clerical taxes, we have heard it stated by the very men who read the Sentinel that the progress of French-Oanadians in the Fastern 'T'ownships is due to the material assistance which they receive from the Church of Rome.In conclusion, it is only fair to add that we have been unable to see that the whole province was \u201cstirred over the case.\u201d Correspondents who send such news abroad are doing a work most likely to perpetuate misunderstanding between the two principal provinces of the Dominion.\u2014 IMPROVED RAILWAY RUNNING.The announcement that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company have decided to begin the laying of their permanent way with rails weighing 100 lbs.per yard will be received with interest by the travelling public.Anything that adds to the comfort of long distance rallway travelling is sure to be eageriy welcomed, and smoothness in the running of trains is even a greater desideratum than the sumptuous internal equipment of cars.It is weli known that by increasing the weight of the rail vou increase the power of its resistance, and thus add to the smoothmess of running, and apart from this, heavy rails are far more durable than light ones.As maintenance of way is a costly item in railway accounts this change will probably be the beginning of a great economy.An increase of 20 lbs, per yard\u2014that is to say from 80 to 100 lbs.\u2014is a very great jump indeed, and if ought to give marked results.Some of the leading English railway companies decided a couple of years ago, largely on the recommendation of Major-General Richardson and the other engineering inspecting officers of the Board of Trade, to begin the replacement of their 05 1b.rails then m use, with rails weighing 103 lbs.The wisdom of the change was fully justified by the results, for the jolting motion of carriages was greatly reduced and the smoothness in runming became an added luxury to travel.Up to the present the difficulty in the way of increasing the weight of rails on this continent has been the fact that the weakest spot has always been the joint.Various devices have been tried with a view to increasing the strength of the rail splice, but without entirely watisfactory resuits.A evlvania Railway which appears to answer all requirements, and this the Canadian Pacitic have decided to adopt after trying it in their own workshops.It possesses in an unusual degree the qualitice of strength, stiffness and simplicity of con- gtruction.As every engincer who has given attention to the rail joint problem linows, the perfect rail jomt must give to the two ends of the rail which it holds the same stiffness to resist transverse strees that ms possessed by the rail itself.The common angle bar joint canmot do this by reason of the limit of height in the matter of distance between the head and flange of the rail.\u2018I'he BBonzana joint which the C.P.R.have decided to adopt embodies the simplest and most effectual plan of strengthening the angle bar that has yet been devised.The parts of this joint are rolled in practically the same form and in the same manner as the ordinary angle bar, except that the flange of the bar Is made about three inches wider than usual.After being rolled and cut into proper lengths the plate is re-heated and pressed by dies into the required form.The result is a largely increased bearing on the tie and a deep and strong truss under the rail joint with gusset plates connecting the horizontal or bearing flanges.The splice is at once simple, strong, economical and rigid.Although the company propose to limit this change, in the first place, to fifty miles of track this ts only because they could not at the present time get the steel required to enable them to have tha new rails and joints manufactured in Canada for a greater length of road.The change will mean a large capital outlay, in the first instance, but as it will probably have the effect of doubling the length of the life of the average rail it will mean in the end a great economy.When it 1s borne in mind that about $200,000,000 ia spent on this continent in maintenance of way it will be realized that any change which results in even a fractional lessen- } ing of expenditure is to be welcomed.Should this departure mean an economy of only 10 per cent.on the total outlay on maintenance of way\u2014and Mr.Peterson, the engineer-in-chief of the Canadian Pacific, thinks it will represent more than that\u2014 you have an annual saving of $20,000,000 on the expenditures of the various companies.To the Canadian Pacific it will mean more than to most systems on account of the great length of its track mileage.QQ M.ROD'S LECTURE Treats of the Origin of the French Novel-Why Love Holds Such an Important Partin Them.Escorted by His Honor Lieutenant- Governor Jette, Archbishop\u201d Bruchesi, Chief Justice Lacoste and nearly all the professors of McGill, M.Edouard Rod, the apostle of intuitivism, made his debut in Montreal as a lecturer at the Windsor Hall Saturday evening before a large and brilliant audience.Mr.Rod deserved the honor bestowed upon him because he 1s one of the foremost novelists and critics among the young generation of French writers.Born in Switzerland, educated in the schools of his own country and ot Germany, he was for several years professor of foreign literature in the University of Geneva.He has written several novels and critical works, such as \u201cIdees Morales du Temps Present.\u201d He has been called the apostle of intuitiviem because he has laid it down as a rule that the artist must study himself in order to know and love others.In all his writings he shows the nitural inclinations of a moralist.\u201cThe moral and ethical influence which a volume may have upon the world at large,\u201d says a recent writer, \u201cinterests him more than its purely literary value, which, he concedes, is to some extent a matter ot opinion.\u201d The lecture of Saturday evening, however, was not burdened with theories.It was a simple lesson on the origin and character of the French novel, that terrible thing of which everybody speaks ill, but which everybody wants to read.Mr.Rod looks upon the French novelists as the successors of the French poets Corneille and Racine.These two great men, for whom he professes fe hizhest admiration, had analyzed the human heart as few writers have done in their immortal tragedies.To imitate them, however, was a task above the power of the common of mortals.To popularize the literature of fiction, a form more accessible to the average writer was needed.It was Madame de Lafayette who pointed the way towards the new field by nuh- lishing the first \u201cRoman d\u2019analyse,\u201d in the very year in which the last of the great travedies of Racine was given to the world.The novel was free from the iron rules which the tragie poet felt bound to observe; it was an open field in which everyone was free to enter with the chance of finding a nuzget of gold or some precious stone.This form pleased the French mind.and it ranidly attained that popularity which it stilt holds.In discussing the different kinds of novels Mr.Rod did not take into account the historical ones, which he considers as irregular, nor did he discuss the old quarrel hetween naturalists and idealists.He admitted only two classes, the novel \u201cde moeurs,\u201d in which are pointed the manners and life of a whole community, and the novel \u201cde caracter,\u201d in which the passions and the feelings of a few nersons are analyzed.He hastened to declare that the latter held by far the most prominent place.: Mr.Rod next explained that the French novelist: usually did not onlv confine himself to the study of a few characters, hut, moreover, selected these characters from among a very small group, always thé same; because in this circle passions were most easily develoned.This permitted him to say that the French novel did not hy any means give a true picture of the life of the French nation as a whole.If asked why French novelists always select such characters, why love always plays such a large part in their works, hix answer is that the novel is intended to picture men and women at a decisive moment in their life, when every side ot their nature reveals itself, and love it is which generally provokes such decisive events.It is one of the maxims of Mr.Rod that \u201ca work of art exerts an aesthetic in- fluerce on those alone whose mental peculiarities are reproduced in its charae- ters.\u201d Saturdav eveninz he frankly told | his audience that the novel couM never become a book for education.The reader must be in a position to witness the scenes described as they look upon the daily events of real life.Al forms of art ccntain a germ of immorality.For that reason there were those who would banish every form of art.He did not azree with them, and he expressed the hope that the French novel would long continue in popular favor.\u2014\u2014m\u2014\u2014 Geo.P.Baird.Ex-M.P.Dead.St.Jehn, N.B., April 30 \u2014Mr.George F.Baird,

whose name appeared in The Herald on Saturday, and whose experience with the child healer appears most extraordinary.Reference is made to the tamily of St.Henri.Mr.and Mrs.Leboeuf have now the greatest confidence in the child healer, and state that in certain ailments relative to the head especially, they would have recourse to Jean Louis Taillon immec- diately.Mr.Leboeuf was quite willing to furnish The Herald reporter with ail informa tion regarding the cure of Mis children\u2014 cures which he considers nothing short of miraculous.There is no doubting Mr.Leboeuf\u2019s confidence.\u2018l'here is, no doubting, either, the children are well.The writer saw them running about.Mr.Leboeut\u2019s story is better told & his own words: \u2018My daughter, Rose, who is not quite 8 years of age, was taken si:k long before Christmas, and it resulted in a cankerous disease setting in upon her | tongue and the inside of her cheeks.The little thing suffered terribly.Her tongue became full of holes ands her cheeks were blanched as though she were dead.Her mouher spent all her time attending to her.Ivery quarter of an hour she would wash out the child\u2019s mouth with a solution which the doctor had prescribed.A strange and disagreeable odor came from the wounds.We had a good doctor attending hor, Dr.He did his best, and yet we could see every day the holes getting larger and larger.Her tongue was almost eaten away.When I say almost, 1 mean that half was gone\u2014disappeared completely.She was pronounced incurable.We were told she would bleed to death once the veins in the tongue were \u2018 touched.What could we do?Things had been thus for three months, when, one day, a Mrs.Courtois gave Mrs.Leboeuï the address of Jean Louis Taillon.We owe a lot indeed to that child! Mrs, Le- boeuf went to see him on Sunday.I think 1t was the Sunday before Christmas.Little Rose could not speak a word, and her mother asked Jean Louis if he would cure her.The little boy passed his finger two or three times in the little girl's mouth and said to her: \u201cYou are cured.You say a Pater and Ave.\u201d Mrs.Leboeut and Rose came home.Well, sir, you will hardly believe me, but it is true.When Rose got up next day the white sores and pus had disappeared; the day following the holes in the tongue were completely healed, and the third day she could talk as well as ever\u2014she was perfectly well, Miraculous?What do you want me to dhink?It's my own child.I know what was the matter with her, and I know what I am saying.That's not all Jean Louis has done for us.Our son, Oscar, 3 \u2018ears of age, was rescued from death by Jean Louis in\u2019 a manner perhaps more miraculous than was our daughter, Rose.\u2019 Saved a Boy.Mr.Leboeuf\u2019s story regarding his son Oscar, is exactly the same as told by Mr.Wiseman about his boy Stanley.Oscar was suddenly taken ill, about à fortnignt before Easter.He complained that his little head was in pain, and at times he would pull hig hair and cry.When we asked how he was he would place his two hands over his head and trrow himself on the pillow.He grew worse and became unconscious, We were thoroughly frightened.We spoke to him, but we got no answer.Dr.was called in, but he could do mothing to relieve the pain, and said he thought it was inflammation of the brain.I was afraid to go to work lest little Oscar should die while I would be away, and death was expected at every moment.Sunday after Easter I thought of young Taillon, and I hurried over to him, and asked his parents to allow me to take him to see Osear, which they did.Jean Louis came in and just placed his little hands on my boy\u2019s head, and immediately Oscar opened \u2018his eyes and stared | at me, then at his mother, and did that for nearly twenty minutes.He then started | to ery, and asked for a drink of water.The next day Oscar was better.Yes, I have great confidence in Jean Louis, and I believe it is because he is a seventh son that he has a gift cf curing people.\u201d The fact that Mrs.Leboeuf has been thus favored by young Taillon has given her quite a prestige in the neighborhood, and she receives many visitors inquiriag as to the truth of the reports regarding the cure of her children.Cured Rheumatism.It was through her that Mr.Collin, of Beauharnois, of whom The Herald spoke on Saturday, came to visit Jean Louis at his home.Mrs.Leboeuf is a cousin of Mr.Collin.That gentleman was suffering from rheumatism in his hand, and couldn\u2019t do his work on the farm.Mrs, Leboeuf To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.All Druggists refund the money if il fails to .cure.2c.: Clement, wrote to him about the cure of her children, and advised him to come and try for himself.He came about eight days ago, when little Louis rubbed his hand.The following day the swelling had disappeared and to-day Mr, Collin is well, and avers that his cure is due to young Tailbon.A Chronic Headache.Mrs.Joseph Roy, sister of Mrs.Leboeuf, who lives at 28 Delinelle avenue, was also cured by Jean Louis.She had been suffering from a headache for seven years, a chronic headache.\u201cLvery morning when I got up,\u201d she said, \u201cI would suffer terribly; sometimes I could scarcely see; I went to Jean Louis, the same day as Rose Leboeuf, that is before Christmas.He rubbed his hamds on my head, and in a few hours I was completely cured, and I have never been troubled since.\u201d Mrs.Desormeau\u2019s Case.At his tender age Jean Louis makes no difference as to who his patients are.He has no preference.Mrs.J.B.Desor- meau, of St.Henri, suffered for years with a pain in her chest.She could scarceiy breathe, and felt a great pain when lying down.She called on Jean Louis, who passed his little hand on her chest and requested her to pray.\u201cI felt as though something were burning me,\u201d she said yesterday afternoon.\u201cI had a strange sensation go through me, but then it was all over, and the next day when I awoke I was well, completely restored, with no vestige of pain.\u201d Cured of Blood Poisoning.Mr.Edmond Gatien was not at home at 231 St.Ferdinand street when a Herald reporter called to see him yesterday, and his daughter Rose alone could be seen.She substantiated the statements made in The Herald on Saturday regarding the cure of her father.\u201cHe had been suffering terribly,\u201d she said, \u2018from blood poisoning in the leg.He passed through all the hospitals, and yet he mever got better.One day he went to see Little Taillon, The little boy rubbed his leg and now he is better.\u201d Mr.Gatien\u2019s house had not been the easiest place to find.The reporter didn\u2019t know the number, and Mr.Gatiet did not seem to be well known.But when the reporter asked for the man who had been cured by little Taillon everybody knew who was meant, and thus the house was pointed out.One of the most recent cures of Jean Louis is that of Mrs.Omer Lefebvre, 408 Duplessis street, but as time failed she could not be seen.Mrs.Lefebvre had been suffering from a sore throat for a long time.She underwent three opera- ticns.Yet no cure was effected, and she was quite discouraged.Last Tuesday she went to sce Jean Louis, who, as usual, simply touched her throat.She went hcme, and when she returned on Friday to see Mrs.Taillon the wounds in her throat had commenced to heal.She expressed the greatest confidence in Jean Louis, and thanked Mrs.Taillon for what he had done to her.Miss Emond\u2019s Cure.Another person to whom the reporter was referred was Miss Ludowiska Kmond, of Beauharnois, now stopping on St.Ferdinand street.Miss Emond had paralysis in the right leg, which descended into the foot, causing a lump to Jorm under the heel.It was most uncomfortable, and Miss Emond limped.Having heard of Jean Louis\u2019 meny cures she had confidence and came to sce him on Thursday, the 2lst inst.He touched the affHicted limb.On Friday Miss Emond could walk without pain, and to her great astonishment and pleasure on Saturday the lump was gone.Sunday she went to church without limping.\u201cImagine how proud I was,\u201d she said.Miss Emond believes it was all through Jean Louis.An Earache Cured.David Villenneuve, a resident of Mount Royal street, expressed great confidence in Jean Louis, and said he had been cured of a terrible earache by the little fellow.\u201cI had earache for three months and could get nothing to alleviate the ain.Did you ever have an earache ?No?Well, it\u2019s the sworst thing in life.I was three months nursing it when | heard that Jeon Louis had cured Mr Wiseman\u2019s little boy.I had him rub my ear.I was cured right off.1 mean what I say, and I have great confidence in a seventh son.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Catholic School Commissioners.JAt a meeting of the Catholic Schoo] Commissioners held Friday afternoon, it was decided after a lengthy discussion

food value of meat, for instance, depends largely upon the amount of nutritious juices kept in it whilt 1t is being cooked.\u2018This is one of the great savngs made possible by using gas to cook with.Careful experiments have been made by experts (Dr.Macadam, of Glagow, among others), and they show that while mnat in a coal range yeilds 60 per cent.of the raw material, in a gas range the yield

gambling den, the Ciub St, Jean Baptiste, with premises at 8 St.mimnique street, Was raided by the Detective Department last night.This makes an alleged pool room and an alleged gambling house which the detectives have brought before the courts, and.developments will be anxiously awaited.Chiet Carpenter said this morning he was quite determined that no moss would gather on the ball he had started rolling the other day when he raided the National Horse Assurance Association.Several complaints were made recently regarding the Club St.Jean Baptiste, and it was for that reason that immediate action Was decided upon.Chief Carpenter and Inspector Kehoe with the entire detective staff, made a descent, upon the place late last night.The chief found a dozen people around a stud poker table playing the game.The game was stopped end the party placed under arrest.One hundred and thirty- two dollars waz \u201cstaked\u201d on the table at the time.The table was seized and likewise two other

1437 St.Catherine street, will deeply regret to learn of the sad accident wnich occurred to his young daughter, Aurore, yesterday afternoon, from the results of which she died at the Notre Dame Hospital early this morning.The little girl, who was about five years of age, was playing with her sister, six years of age, in front of the family residence, 295 Amherst street.They had gone across the street and attempted to run back again, when a car ran them down and cruelly mutilated the little body of the younger girl.Motorman N.Four nier, Who was in charge of car No.301, said : \u201cThe little girl suddenly darted to pass in front of my car, and before could reverse the motor bo stop the car the foremost wheel had passed over the girl.\u201d Conductor Joseph Lenoyes said : \u201cThe car was going at a slow speed at the time of the accident.How the accident occurred I cannot understand.The little girls were playing together, and were far enough from the car to allow the motorman bo proceed without slacking speed.Suddenly they started to run across the street, and one of them was run down.\u201d The Notre Dame Hospitæl ambulance was summoned, and the Little sufferer was taken to the institution, whera it was found that her left thigh Was cut in two, the right thigh was broken, the left leg literally cut into two pieces and the right leg broken.7 The doctors did all they could to save the child, but nothing could avail.The It is understood, however, ! heepital parceled up'in a newspaper.De- ~pite her great suffering.the little girl did not lose consciousness, and recognized her parents at the hospital.The scene between the parents and child wae very pathetic.Little Aurore said she didn't want to die, but she wanted to stay at home.She became unconscious, however, a short time after, and died at one o'clock his morning.\u2018 An que is being held this afternoon.freee DIOCESAN COLLEGE, Followinz are the results of the examination at the Montreal

scientific.The game was an interesting one.Bo:h Diggldby and Souders did the twirling for the champions, and if there are no errors in the score sent by wire both pitchers were hammered very hard, Worcester piling up something like eighteen hits.On the other hand, the champions were marks for Mr.Horton, and only made six, half of which were contribute by Shearon.But it was not ever thus, for Herey Jerkey Horton was one of the easy things Lat used to appear hele OClasivildaa)y aso season.Shearon\u2019s batting was a featurc.He made a single and then hammered out two home runs out of five times at bat.Kidlet Jacklitz also smacked out a homer, and Henry is down for a ttwo-bagger.(rrandpa Dooley is credited with a single, and he and Schidbeck are down for a double play.oo Shy of course, has a black mark in the error column, but he accepted move chances than any other man in the infield.The Montreal pitching dopuariment made three errors between them.The score at the end of the eighth was 11 to 9 in favor of Worcester, and aftr Montreal had tied it in the ninth the Worcester farm hands went in and won.\u201cLumbago\u201d\u2019 Doescher umpired, and it is presumed that he smiled his

to-day and thes work done was by far the fastest of the year.Van Ant werp, owned by J.P.Dawes, of Montreal, broke down while going at a 58 clin, the cause being a bowed tendon.This horse was a magnificent animal and was sold for $1,000 as a yearling.Ald.Sheppard\u2019s Morphcus filly Buffoonery went a quarter in 24 seconds.She was after wards sent a mile in two minutes.\"SPORTING COMMENTA question which the district council ot the C.W.A.should take up is the arrests which have been made lately in West- mount.The Council of that town has passed a by-law forbidding anyone to ride faster than ten miles an hour through the streets.On this by-law dozens of cyclists have been arrested by the West- mount police (who no doubt are infallible judges of speed), and the poor unfortunates have had to give $2 bail or leave their wheels.A Now, ten miles an hour is a pretty good pace, and very few know how [ast it 1s till they have trie dit themselves.For an ordinary man to judge it even with a watch is impossible, and the policamen making the arrests should be obliged to make proof of the speed at which the men were going.A mere statement to the effect that in their opinion they were riding faster than ten miles an hour is absolutely of no value.It is all very well to have a law to prevent \u201cscorching\u201d on the streets.but when this la wis made an excuse for arresting people who are not violating it simply because the matter of speed is left to the policeman, it is time for the council to act.The Distriet Council meets Friday nizht and should not fail to take up the question just referred to, and there are others which they should attend to.Standing on the corner of St.Catherine and St.Lawrence streets yesterday, the cars were noted as they went past, and the heights of the fenders from the ground measured.They ran from six to eighteen inches from the ground.eFnders such as these are a mere farce, and the company should be made to remedy this.The answer the company has made several times is that they cannot get good fenders, as a satisfactory system has not been invented.That is all \u201crot.\u201d Send a few Ottawa fenders to Montreal and it would be a big improvement.The Shamrocks were again denied application to the Q.R.U.They made the same mistake as they made before, namely, they applied for admission \u2018to the Senior League.Now the Shamrocks are a new team, and like every other has to begin at the bot tion.Then Mr.McDonnell asked to have the Shamrocks admitted to the Intermediate League.This divided the meeting, some being in favor, others being against it, and the final decision was that there were already enough clubs in the league, and another would make the series too long.Had the Shamrocks sent in their application for the Intermediate League a week or te ndays ago so that the clubs could have been notified, and their delegates been prepared ofr the question, they would have stood a better chance for admission, As it stands, a good many are dissatisfied at the action of the Union.-\u2014 THE RING.WYATT WOULDN'T FIGHT.Cornwall, April 30.\u2014Some fifty Cornwall sports went to Hogansburg, N.Y., last night, on a \u201cmoonlight excursion,\u2019 to see a 20-round fightbetween Wyatt, the Ottawa lightweight, and Jack Dowling, the Irish cyclone, late of Birmingham, England.Why the fight did not taken place, Wyatt and his manager, LeBarr, can best answer.They kicked on the size of the gate, $50, and refused to go on.The crowd wanted a scrap and Dowling and his friends offered to let the entire receipts and a side bet of $150 go to the winner, but even this failed to draw Wyatt into the ring.Evidently he was not anxious to fight, and some Cornwall people were unkind enough to think that it was because he considered discretion the better part of valor, and dreaded the result.George Brownrigg, of Cornwall, went on instead, and sparred six lively rounds with Dowling.\u2014\u2014e ATHLETICS.FIELD DAY AT PHILADELPHIA, Philadelphia, April 29.\u2014 Yale carried off the honors at the annual carnival of relay races held under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania on Franklin Field Lo-day, the wearers of the blue winning tie one mile, two mile and four mile championship relay races.Although Pennsylvania was disappointed in the outcome of these events, she is happy

inches, held by Myer Prinstein, of Syracuse University, The latter was ¢lso entered in the event, but the best he could do was to jump 23 feet 2 1-2 inches.Over 8,000 persons attended the carnival of

tariff war between Canada and the United States is looming up, says the London Chronicle of the 19th instant.Such an extremely deplorable conflict is the natural and almost inevitable issue of the breakdown of the Anglo-American Commission, unless the diplomatists of the two countries succeed in arranging what their commissioners failed to negotiate.Canada made the perfectly fair offer of *\u2018free logs for free lumber\u201d\u2014that is, she would let the Michigan sawmills import tree trunks to saw up on the condition that planks sawn in Canada should not be kept out of the United States by a hostile duty.The American sawmill owners had a sufficient \u201cpull\u201d at Washington to block this arrangement.Canada now taxes the export of logs, as she is wise to do, in order to prevent the Canadian forests going the way of the Michigan forests, which have been practical ly all cut down; and now the American Government contemplates prohibiting Ca- nadian-sawn lumber altogether.In that case, Canada will put an export duty on nickel-ore , thereby seriously handicapping American warship building.America will retaliate with something else, and so the wretched struggle will go on.\u201cCanada has the right on her side in this matter, and the only hope for peace is that the American Federal Government will be wise enough to cease penalizing the rest of the United States for the benefit of Michi- tom.So the League refused the apphea- gan saw-mill QWOGTE meet \u2014 QUEBEC RUGBY UNION MEETING Shamrocks Refused Admission to the League on Account of Number
