(From The Herald\u2019s Washington Resident Correspondent.) | Washington, May 28.\u2014Orders were sent irom the Tressury Department last week \u2018to the commanding officers of six revenue | cutters on the Pacific coast directing them ; to proceed to the North Pacific and Beh- ' ring sea, and giving detailed instructions as to the re-establishment and maintenance | of the annual patrol in those waters.The first cutter will go northward within a day or two, and by the end of the present week all will have started to their respective stations.The patrol was suspended last year for the first time in several years, for all of the vessels were liable to be drafted into naval service for the war with Spain.The enforcement of the sealing regulations jointly agreed on be- {ween the British and United States Governments was left exclusively, therefore to the British in 1898.In some respects the preparations for this year\u2019s cruise of the patrol ileet are more elaborate than ever before.New interest in Alaska has caused the influx of lawless elements to the territory and the duties of the revenue cutter service are expected to be considerably increased this year.The most famous of all the vessels in the revenue cutter service, the Bear, which has had some thrilling experiences tm arctic waters, is expected to leave Pugeti Sound to-morrow.The orders to her commander direct him in regard to the particular duties to be performed by the Bear, but each commander in the cutter fleet of six vessels received similar orders, varying only according to the particular conditions to be met in the localities to which they are assigned.The general directions to the cutters are to proceed to the North Pacific, the Behring sea and the Sea of Okhotsk and to enforce in those waters north of the 36th degree of north latitude the provisions of the Paris tribunal of 1893 in regard to sealing.Further instruec- tions are given in view of the Act of Congress approved December 29, 1897, for under that act pelagic sealing is not only prohibited to Americans north of the 36%h degree, but in all other waters as well.Some duties are to be undertaken by the cutters {iiis year, however, that have never fallen to the lot of the patrol officers.These duties are connected with the cn- forcement of Federal laws in Alaskan ports along the coast and on the rivers.The six vessels which will engage in the patrol are the Corwin, Rush, Perry, Grant, Bear and the Nunivak.There will be no fleet organization of tlie patrol vessels.this year, as has been the case in some years, and there will, therefore, be no recognized \u201cflagship\u201d; but the Bear, on account of its splendid service and the experience of its commander, may be regarded as the leading vessel of the fleet.The Nunivak is a new cutter with non-condensing en- | gines made for use in patrolling rivers, and she is now being towed up to the inland waters of Alaska.- ee \u2014 Spanish Newspapers in

Province\u2014A Letter to a Newspaper Says Child is in a Catholic Institution.New York is much interested in a kidnapping case which promises to equal the famous Charlie Ross mystery.The stolen child is Marion Clarke, 20 months old, the daughter of well-known people.The kidnapping took place on Sunday, 21st inst.Despite the turning out of the entire detective force no trace of the chill could be found until to-day.Now a letter appears in a New York paper announcing that \u201cThe Baby is Safe in a Catholic Institution in Three Rivers.\u201d The New York Despatch.New York, May 29.\u2014An aîternoon paper announces that it has received a note sigu- ed \u201cOne of the Three,\u201d wherein the writer states that the kidnapped Clarke baby is in a Catholic institution at Three Rivers, Que.The note is printed by the Evening Journal, as follows: \u201cTo the Editor: \u201cBaby is safe in a \u2018Catholic institution in Three Rivers, P.Q., but I don\u2019t think they will give her up, They want her to grow up a good Catholic and become a nun.I quarrelled with them.That Is why I give you this information.\u201cOne of the Three.\u201d Many crank letters have been received by the Clarks and by the police.Capt.MdClusky, of the detectives, would not express an opinion regarding this latest communication.The paper says that tha style of its letter is very much like that first sent to the Clarks.Story of the Kidnapping.New York, May 29.\u2014It was- just one week ago yesterday morning that Marion Clarke, the twenty-months-old child of Arthur W.Clarke, living at No.159 East Sixty-fifth street, was carried away by her nurse from Central Park.Despite the most active and persistent search by the entire police force of the city, by a swarm of amateur detectives actuated by hopes cf reward, and by numberless newspaper reporters, no trace has been found ot either of them since.The nurse was employed Monday, May 15th, under the name of Carrie Jones.She had advertised for a position, giving no home address.Mr.Clarke answereil the advertisement, and being impressed with the girl\u2019s appearance and manners, engaged her to go to work the followinz day, without asking for references.She took only a small handbag with her to the house, saying that her trunk would arrive later.It never came.Mr.Clarke has one other child besides Marion, a baby three months old.Mrs.Ciarke has been more or less of an invalid snes the birth of her second child, and the care of little Marion devolved almost entirely upon the new nurse.She took the child for an airing in the Park every afternoon.Went to Central Park.She suggested that she take the child out earlier than usual lest Sunday mora- ing.Mr.Clarke, who was playing with the little one in front of his house, agreed to this, and Carrie Jones, as it was believed the girls name was, started across Sixty-fifth street with baby Marion in a perambulator.- She entered the park at F:ftl avenue gate near the menagerie and turned uptown under tne arch leading to the ladies\u2019 waiting room.Without any delay she left the perambulator against the bushes there, and asked the matron, Miss Madden, to look after it while she took the child to see the bears.She walked away in an opposite direction from the bear cage, and when the matron called out to her retorted that \u201cshe knew her way about.\u201d The Clarkes had engaged the girl on the understanding that she was from the country and knew nothing about the city.Mr.Clarke says he had a \u201cfeeling\u201d that all was not as it should be within ten min- ates after the nurse and child had left the house.He communicated his suspicions to his wife, and followed them to Central Park.Miss Madden saw him sitting beneath the arch looking at the empty baby carriage about fifteen minutes after the nurse had \u2018gone away with the child.Mr.Clarke went to Miss Madden and ascerfained positively what had happened.He then started what has turned out to be one of the most remarkable cases of police investigation ever known_ in this city.He went first to Captain England, in charge of the Central Park station, not far from where the child was stolen.The baby carriage Was taken to the station, \u2018and policemen were sent out to look for the nurse.No word of the abduction was sent to Police Headquarters at the time.Note Told the Story.: Mr.Clarke went back home to tell bis wife what had happened.le found a boy there who fiad carried a note given him by a young woman at Sixty-second: sireet and Second avenue.This note n:ade it clear that the child was kidnapped for the sake of ransom, and warned Mr.Clarke that if he notified the policq or let it get into the newspapers he should never see his child alive again.The name of the boy who carried the note was Fred« dy Lang and he gave a good account of himselg.His description of the woman who gave him the note was not very clear, but Mr.Clarke thought it resembled that of the missing nurse girl.The lad remembered that the woman was greatly excited, and that she went away on a Second avenue car after giving him the note.From investigations made by th police so far they do not believe that the woman Who gave Freddy Lang the nota was the alleged Carrie Jones, It may have: been am accomplice, ! Captain England and Mr.Clarke con- | cluded that the engs ol justice would be! bes teerved by keeping the case quiet until Tuesday, the time specified by the writer %{ the note that an answer to it would be waited for, but the information was unintentionally sent to Police Headquarters with the usual reports from the Central Park police station, and the news became public.; It was discovered then that the note wag printed on \u201ccopy\u201d paper, such as is used in at least two downtown newspapers offices, and that it Was punctuated and otherwise marked apparentir by some per?scn who Was accustomed to prepare copy\" for the printer.A few sheets of similar paper, together! with some clothing and fifteen cents were: fcund in the bag of Carrie Jones, left at Mr.Clarke\u2019s.Have Watched Some Persons.The police have so far made no atrestg in the case, although several suspected persons have been more or less under police supervision.All sorts of persons have, turned up with clews and suggestions! which, when run down, have proved to be fruitless.While in Mr.Clarke\u2019s house Carrie Jones talked with a boarder there about perscns she knew in Deposit, N.Y.Investigation of this clew diverted suspicion for the moment to two young Women who had recently left Deposit and who are now earning their own ving In this city.Their innocence of che abduction or any complicity in it Was promptly established.Another and the latest clew uncovered the career ot a woman who had given birth to children in a hospital, and who had changed her name.She, also, proved her innocence of any knowledge or complicity in the misior- tune that has overtaken the Clarkes.Widespread interest has been aroused in the abduction irom the moment it was made known.The city has taken mo action in offering a reward, as Philadelphia Wd in the famous \u201cCharley\u201d Ross case, but private contributions amounting.to more tnan $4,000 have been offered jor the return of the child.The bereaved parents have been overwhelmed with grief.At times Mrs.Clarke was threatened with tha loss of her reason.The father has been kept away from his business and has given the police all the assistance in his power to try to find the child.He declares chat nothing in the past lives of either himself or his wife, no entanglements or associations that might prompt revenue Or jealousy, can be considered in the case.He adheres strictly to the theory of a theft for ran- com.The real reason for the abduction and the names of the persons implicated in it are as much of a mystery now as they were when Baby Marion was lifted from the carriage and taken away by her nurse.Here are descripfiong of the missing maid and child : Description of Nurse and Child.Carrie Jones\u2014About twenty-one years old, five feet two inches tall, weight about 115 pounds, very dark hair and pale com- front teeth very promin- lexion; upper ent and chéek bones unusually ht.Wore white straw sailor hat with military pin

28.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The short sitting of the House on Saturday was a very important one and probably saw as much business transacted as a lenger one would.Several government measures were advanced towards completion, and the bill to authorize the purchase of the Drummond County Ry.was read a first time.Sir Charles Tupper surprised the House in a two-fold manner.Shortly before adjournment at G o\u2019clcok.He backed down completely from his position in regard to the Anglo-American Commission and did it very neatly too.He is now quite convinced that the comnussion will reassemble on August 2 and that the result will be a complete success, while in the proposal made at the Peace Conference, for an International Board of Arbitration, he sees a means of settling the Alaskan \u2018boundary dispute which was the cause of adjournment of the commission, last d'ebruary.But as a rider to this recantation of his former expressed view Sir Charles proposes that the government should drop the Resdistribution byl so that it will have time to reconsider the matters fully, which will be discussed when the Commission mets again.If the bill is not dropped then the leader of the Opposition intimated that his party will keep the House sitting here all summer.Sir Wilirid, while promising all the consideration for the proposition which is due to Sir Charles\u2019 position and experience, reminded the House that the Bill is an eminently fair one, and that the government is willing to listen to all suggestions for its improvement so that its discussion need not take any length of time., Mr.Clarke, of Toronto,asked the Government to intervene between the Grand Trunk Railway and the striking track- men so as to obtain an early settlement of their disputes but beth the Ministers of Railway and the Premier replied that it was not the prevince of the government to step unasked in such matters.If either the railway or the men should make a request for intervention in the event ol failure to settle the matter between themselves both ministers promised that the Gonermment would do all it could.Inspection of Petroleum.Sir Henri Joly de Lotbiniere introduced a bill to consolidate the acts respecting the inspection of petroleum and naphtha, and making provision for the inspection oi petroleum at the refineries.Sir Henri rcferred to the growing trade in petroleum by tank cars and vessels, and its storage in tanks at various points.At present petroleum is not inspected until it is barrelled, and it is compul- gory to barrel the oil al once upon its arrival at its destination.This was a great hardship, especially in the Northwest, where barrels were scarce.The, bill provided for the inspection and test- ine of the oil at the refineries, after which it might be stored in tanks as long as was needed.The bill also provided for precautions in regard to naphtha and other volatile oils, requiring that they be put in red-colored barrels.Inspection of Grain.Sir Henri Joly also introduced a bill to provide for the better inspection of wheat in the Northwest, in order to remove the condition of affairs that has arisen irom the unsatisfactory inspection of wheat.The Packing of Apples.Mr.McMillan (South Huron) drew attention to an editorial in the Loronto World, referring to alleged statements of the Minister of Agriculture and Professor Mchertson, that the farmers of the country were practicing extensive frauds i the packing of apples.Mr.MeMillan stated that few farmers packed their own apples, and in justice to them the charges made should be withdrawn.The Minister of Agricuiture replied that the statement contained in the article in regard to himself and Prof.Robertson were an entire misrepresentation of anything they said on the occasion.It was true that he had directed Professor Robertson to brins up the question of the packing of Canadian apples, because 1t had been found during the past year that great difficulty had arisen in the English markets by reason of the improper packing of apples, which had arrived in such a condition as to lead to charges of deliberate fraud on the part of farmers and packers in Canada.On a former occasion when similar complaints were made, some people thought they should be glossed over.That suppression had not scemed to have done any good, for last season saw the most glaring instances of badiv packed apples in the way of deliberately putting good apples at the ends of the barrels and filling up with trash.He spoke strongly because the samples examined in England proved that the accusations were true, and he believed it was better the people of Canada should know the dangers run and the difheulties encountered bv reason of the fact that some people in the trade \u2014not all\u2014committed these offences.Therefore, he brought the matter before the \u2018Agricultural Committee.As to accusations against farmers, he made none nor did Prof.\u2018Robertson; they did not mention either farmers or packers, but simply stated that those who had packed apples in this way had endangered a large trade which could be built up by honest methods.He was satisfied it was only by the publication of dishonest methods of this kind that they could be stopped.Any hiding of it would only encourage these dishonest persons to go on with the work.The woree than insinuations contained in the article in the World were entirely without foundation and untrue.Messrs.Gilmour (Fast Middlesex) and Sproule (East Grey) defended {he farmers from blame.: Mr.McMullen said the Government should take steps to protect the trade of Canada and secure to the people of Ene- land honest fruit.In this way the repu- tetion of Canadian anples would be protected, and in no other way.The fault lay with the packers, and inspection was needed.The Minister of Inland Revenue suggested that as Mr.Penny had a bill before the House treating with the inspection of fruit, this hill might be considered in connection with the amendments to the (leneral Inspection Act, and ineov- vorated with that act.Mr.Pennv\u2019s bill called for the opening of one ar hoth ends or the removal of a stave of the barrel or one side of hoxes, of not less than ten pr cent.of all shipmants.Lieut.-Col.Mclennan (Glengarry) said it.was undeniable that the countrv was shipping an inferior article to the British markets, and steps should he taken to prevent this.That Two-Cent Stamp.The House went into committee on a bil'] of Sir Henri Jolyv's to alter the mode of computing the duty on whiskey, and practically \"adopted it.A new Tnland tevenue stamp will be necessary, and Mr.Foster advised Sir Henri to place his own portait on it, and not to consult the Post- masier-General.Sir Henri thought it unfair to criticise the Postmaster-General.The motto that gentleman had chosen for the new stamp did as much credit to his knowledge and taste as to the man who wrote it.He Was not a betting man, but he would wager that half the members did not Lnow where the quotation came from.It was in Sir -Lewis Morris\u2019 \u201cSong of Empire,\u201d written in June, 1887, and he always carried round something to remind kim where the motto canre from.Then drawing from his pocket-book a slip ot paper, Sir Henri read the full quotation as follows :\u2014 ° \u201cWhoever guides our helm of state, let all men know We hold a vaster empire than has been; Nigh half the race of men is subject to our Queen.\u201d Canadian Bank Extension.Mr.Fielding\u2019s bill to empower Canadian bauks to issue one-pound notes in other colonies, redeemabie in those colonies only except in case of a bank ceasing to do business there, was considered in committee, and some progress made.The Drummond County Bill.The Drummond County Railway purchase resolution was concurred in, and the Minister of Railways introduced an act \u201cto authorize the acquisition by the Dominion of the Drummond County Railway.\u201d Mr.Hagzart asked for some documents, which were promised to him.GRAND TRUNK STRIKE.Mr.Clarke Wants the Government to Intervene to Effect a Settlement.Mr.E.¥.Clarke (West Toronto), on motion to go into Supply, asked the House to consider the state of things which ex isted on the Grand Trunk by a strike of the trackmen.He did not want to prejudice either side.The demand of the nen was a reasonable one, to his mind, but there did not seem to be any chance for a settlement.\u2018The company owed something to the men and also to the public, and there was a danger that the strike would spread, owing to the determination of the company not to treat with the men of other branches.It was the duty of the Government to_interfere and endeavor by all reasonable means to secure an amicable settlement Between the company and the men.The men stated that they were paid one dollar a day, but some two or three cents was deducted from that, and the resuit was a wage of 97 cents for a day of ten, eleven and twelve, or perhaps longer, hours.Any white man in Canada compelled to work cut of doors all the year round ten, eleven and twelve hours a day was underpaid when he only received 97 cents for his services.(Hear.hear.) In view of the obligations of this great corporation to the travelling public, and the jeopardy in which lives were placed, the Government should interfere.The railway authorities, if correctly reported, had intimated to the trackmen\u2019s committee that it was impossible to recognize their demands in view of {he fact that the financial arrangements made to carry on the road would preclude them from giving better wages.That was not a satisfactory answer.These men, as Canadians, were entitled to reasonable and fair treatment, and if they could establish that thev had to work such hours for such small pay the sooner it was put a stop to the better for the country.Ile hoped the Government would exercise its undoubted influence as mediators, and endeavor to put a stop to this thing.Government Cannot Interfere.The Minister of Railways said he had followed the newspaper reports, but had to confess he had not been able to form an opinion as to which side the right inclined to.He could not shut his eves to the fact that in a large measure this was a question of supply and demand.He might sympathize with the men in their struggle and yet not think any duty devolved upon lim, us head of the Railway Department, to interpose.No duty devolved upon him by any statue, and he did not think the Railway Department was charged with the settle- be served by the intervention of the Gov- ment of disputes.No good end was to ernment now, though it might be possible that a stage would be reached where a third party could intervene.Until and unless the partics engaged in the struggle called in or referred their difficulties to the arbitrament of an outside party he did not think it was wise or prudent tor anvone to interfere.Certainly anyone who volunteered their services now would he coolly received by both sides.Sir Charles Tupper agreed with a good deal Mr.Blair ha! said, but stated that in many similar cases in England the (ov- ernment, where it thought the gravity of the cuse demanded, had propused that a member of the Government should inter- [vene.It was very difficult for eicher \u2018party to refuse, and the Government would he right in offering its services in the present case.The Minister of Railways replied that he had followed the English strikes sufficiently to note that the Clovernmen:® never thought it prudent to offer its services until it had reason to believe that the offer would be appreciated.The last railway difficulty had been sclved through the Home Secretery, but he did not interfere until such a course was sugresued to him by the men.Mr.Blair added that he would gladly say that if it transpired \u2018that any intervention cn the part of the Government, himself or the officers of the department would be of effect they would be happy to do what they could.{Hear, hear.) Mr.N.Clarke Wallace referred to the urgent necessity for constant and close supervision of railway roadbeds, * Sir Richard Cartwright remarked that there was a special provision in English railway law for a board of conciliation he- tween the companies and the men.The Premier's View.Sir Wilfrid Laurier said experience justified him in saying that wherever strikes occurred public sympathy went out the employes, but it did not follow that the strikes were always well founded.I* would not be right for the Government to interfere at this, early stage, and the hon.gentleman knew the Government had no more power to interfere than he had.As to precedents, he might point out that in the colliery strike in Wales, three years ago, the Government never interfered in any way, although it lasted for a year, and the Government never did interfer: unless it was asked to do so by one of the parties.If at this moment the Government was to interfere 1t would take a serious step; but the time might come, when the parties found they could not agree, when someone would be asked to interfere.As the strike has only lasted exght days there was still hope that it might be settled.If it went on the reasons suggested by Mr.Clarke might be x0cG, but at present it was the part of the Gevernment to deal prudently and not over hastily, CHANGED HIS MIND.Sir Charles Tupper Sees Success for the High Commission, and Makes a Startling Proposition.Sir Charles Tupper wanted to make a statement on an important subject, and to put everything in order Mr.Prior (Vie- toria) moved the adjournment -of the House for him.Sir Charles said the statement made the day before by the Premier regarding the position taken by the British Commissioners on the Alaskan boundary question removed a good deal of the difficulty he had felt in regard to the action of the Commission in adjourning to | August 2.It was the first time the Pre- etnies to mier had stated the position so clearly.He did not remember that it had been stated in the official communication at the time of adjournment that the reassembling of the Commission depended upon the boundary question being removed from ihe arena of discussion by diplomatie action of the two Governments.The statement of the Premier came very near to the position which he had urged that the British Commissioners should have taken\u2014that there should be no adjournment but an abandonment\u2014in view of the determination expressed by the American (overn- ment as to the terms upon which they would have the question referred to arbitration.Sir Charles said he had always treated this question as beyond and above party, and he was in a position to show that his attitude had always been that he would do nothing to weaken the hands of the British Government in dealing with gues tions of such vital importance to Canada.Now that the Peace Conference had practically agreed to the British proposal that a board of international arbitration should be established he regarded the aspect of that which yesterday seemed hopcless changed\u2014that any good result was to come from the Commission\u2014and there was good rcason to believe that the Alaskan boundary question would readily be referred to such a board.He would, therefore, assume that we could look forward hopefully to the reassembling of the Commn:is- sion on August 2, and therefore, the question presented itself in a new light.Ilis attention had been called to an article in the New York Sun, stating that all the matters before the Commission were in a fair way to settlement, and that the United States could not insist upon any such unreasonable terms for the settlement of the boundary dispute as had interrapt- ed the proceedings; but stating that ha (Sir Charles) was the great obstructor, that the Government would be quite tre- pared to make fair and reasonable concessions if it were not for the Conservative party.He might be told that he had taken a strong attitude in the House on this matter, but it would be found that there were no means the British Commissioners could makc use of more effective with the United Statese, or bet ter calculated to promote a friendly arrangement than to present the speech he had made on the floor of the House.Tlis statement that Canada was in an independent position, and that it was in a position to nlace an export duty on pulp wood, logs and nickel matte, were calculated to strengthen the British Commissioners, An Offer to The Government., \u201cI would therefore suggest to my hon.friend that, under these circumstances, he should withdraw the Redistribution Bill, have it published for the benefit of the country and allow the business of the session to be properly closed by disposing of all the other questions that are before us, In order that the Government might give that care and attention to these important matters that 1t is absolutely necessary they should give and should furnish themselves with the most minute information to strengthen the case with which they are chanced.They have had the experi nce of S1X months\u2019 negotiations, which must be most valuable to them, and having that experience they know exactly the kind of information they need and the best course to pursue in order to present the British or Canadian side of this case to the commission in the most effect:re way.\u201d After a reference to the period at which the session was necessarily called, Sir Charles continued: \u201cIt provided in the bill \u2018which the right hon.gentleman has introduced that it shall not come into operation until the dissolution of this Parliament.The necessity for that dissolution will not arise for some time, certainly is not pressing.Of course, I do not expect a statement from my right hon.friend to-day as to the suggestion I have made; it 1s a matter on which he would natural- Iy confer with his colleagues.But I would ask him to consider ny suggestion.1 felt that it was my duty under the circumstances and in the light of what has transpired yesterday and to-day to state that, in my judgment, the interests of Canada would be consulted by withdrawing this measure, which is of a character to compell us to remain here for a very long peried at this most inconvenient and most unfavorable season, and enable the business of the House to be closed and the Government to address themselves to these questions in such a manner that, on the reassembling of the commission on the 2nd of August they would be in the best possible condition to do everything that could be done In support of Canadian interests.One other point before 1 sit down, I am sure that my right hon.friend will say that I have not been fairly represented in this article.It says that the modus +ivendi whch was proposed by the United States would have been at once accepted by Canada but for the fear that the Conservative party, and especially that I myself, would take an attitude of strong hostility.My rizht hon.friend will vindicate me at all events, on that point, because he did me the honor to consult me in reference to what the Canadian government proposed when, as he knows, I gave him at once the assurance of my hearty support of the Government in the attitude they had assumed.1 mention that because it is put forward in this article as one of the difli- culties the government had in dealing with this.1 felt it right that I should draw the attention of my right hon.friend and the government to this matter, and 1 hope they will receive these suggestions in the spirit in which they are offered and give them that consideration to which they may be fairly entitled.\u201d The Premier\u2019s Reply.In reply Sir Wilfrid Laurier said : \u201cMr.Speaker, we on this side of the House may be pardoned, I am sure, some feeling ot satisfaction at the language just spoken by niv honorable friend.The wisdom of the ecurse which I took in the month of February, instead of breaking suddenly the negotiations of the Anglo-American com- nission, has been fully vindicated by what the honorable gentleman has just said.It it were allowed to refer to a past debate, I ight call the attention of the House to ihe.fact that in the debate on the address my honorable friend took a very different position, and stated that the moment we could not come to an agreement with our fellow-commissioners represent- inz the United States, we should have broken negotiations and come home.We thought that this course was not the ccurse which should be followed under the circumstances.(Hear, hear.) Sir Charles Tupper\u2014But that is practie- al'v what you did, judging from your statements in the House yesterday.You said you would not go on with the negotiations until the other questions were ra- moved.Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2014When we left we referred the question of the Alaska boundary to our respective (Governments; we stuted then ito the world that it would he use'ess to reassemble unless this matter had been disposed of.1 stated at the \u201ctime to my honorable friend and to the House on more than one occasion, that the matter had been referred to the re- speclive Governments, American and Brit ish, and that we were to reassemble on the 2nd of August.But, what would have kcen the use of reassembling on the 2nd of August, or any other time, if the very question on which we had not been able to agree were then to be found in the sume position as before?We would not proceed with the other matters pending that consideration, bus we heped that when we assembled again on the 2nd otf August the British and the American Governments, by their respective authorities, would have been able to perform what we had not been able to perform, that is to say, settle the question of the Alaskan houndary.We thought that, of al} the measures thal had \u2018been referred to us, thc most important.- We might have gone \u2018on with some other questions, but, pending that, we thought it would not be advisable in the best interests of Canada to proceed with other questions.(Hear, keur.) \u201cIf that question could have heen settled one way or the other, we could have proceeded with other questions, giving more or receiving more, as the question was set- ted one way or the other.There were MONTREAL, MONDAY, MAY 29, 1839, a a.\u2014 + \u2014+\u2014 + \u2014+ + > 4+-\u2014- +

Commissioners, They Say Do Not Give Enough Attention to Their Duties as Such.A pleasant social function, which assumed some political importance through the remarks of the speakers came off last evening at the Queen's Hotel, when the iriends of Mr.Ilenri Dubois, president ot the Licensed Victuallers\u2019 Association tendered him a banquet, on the occasion of his marriage to Miss Lepine on Tuesday next.The banquet was a very elaborate affair, served in the Queen\u2019s best style, and there were some hundred and liity guests present.Among those present were Mur.Lawrence Wilson, who occupied the char, Ald.Jacques, Messrs.Nap.Richard, 1.D.Fortin, and N.Charbonneau, on his left Messrs.Husmer Lanctot, advocate; J.A.St.Julien, advocate; Wm.O Brien, G.Gravel, Stanislas Demers, V.Laby, Ste- plien McMillan and J.B, Bureau.After the menu had been duly Lonored, the chairman presented Mr Dubois with a handsome address, and a well-filled purse.\u201cI'hen the toasts followed, filled with wit appropriate to the occasion, but which had also their serious side.Mr, St.Julien, who has represented many restaurant keepers before the liccuse cominissioners, was the first to trot cut his grievance.The Licensed Victuallers, he said, represented large interests and paid an enormous tax to the Government.That should be sufficient to give them a right to have matters affecting tn&n promptly settled.Yet, he declared, for the past three months, the victuailers had not received full justice at the hands of certain authorities in Montreal.Repeated- lv they had been summoned to the Court House only to find that the commissioners were busy acting as Recorder, Magistrate or something else, and therefore, had no time to attend to their duties as commissioners.They ought to apply to the Legislature for the appointment of a special magistrate charged with settling their own difficulties.He hoped that those who were now adjudicating the Victuallers\u2019 rights would soon gain experience and prove more liberal.Nevertheless, theme were higher tribunals -which might be consulted for the sake of justice.Mr.Henri Dubois, it 1s neediess to say, was entlusiastically

permitted to refer to the services you have rendered to your 2dopted country in advocating and assist ing in carrying out measures for the advancement of its industrial and ffancial interests.During the last eighteen years the Bank Viile Marie, under your management, has largely increased its business and improved its position, and we earnestly hope that you may be spared in health and strength for years to come to render the bank still further service.\u201d Mr.Weir, though deeply affected, made a very happy reply, in the course ot which he reminded his hearers that the success of the bank

Work.Stanley street Presbyterian Church held its jubilee services yesterday.The church has just completed a quarter of a century\u2019s existence.The morning service was conducted by the Rev.A.J.Mowatt, of Erskine Church, who delivered an address on church possibilities.His text was tak- enn from Ephesians iv, 13.He remarked that sometimes the church was spoken ot as a sort of social club.But if a church was & church at all, it was essentially different from anything called a society.So- ciet'es were man-made, whereas the | - ~ church \u2018was God-made.She came down from heaven and rooted herself in the earth, but other things sprung out of the earth and grew heavenward, and societies were numerous, but there was only ono church.In the afternoon there was a gathering of parents and children, at which addresses were delivered by Revs.W.R.Cruikshank and W.D.Reid, and at the even- inz service the sermon was preached by Rev, Dr.Mackay, of Crescent street church.\u2014_\u2014 Gulf Report.River du Loup.\u2014Clear; calm.yesterday, 4 p.m., barque.Father Point \u2014Hazy; north-east.Metis.\u2014Clear; east.Inwards, 7.30 a.m.Lake Ontario.\u2019 Martin

morning when he rendered judgment in: the case of Dr.Bell vs.Dame Garceau, widow of Alfred Friend.Dr.Bell had attended the deceased, and brought action for 5455, out of which 85 was alleged to be duc by.the widow personally for the preparation of the death certificate.The action was brought against the widow as heiress to her deceased husband.She had done nothing to accept her hubsand\u2019s succession, but had failed to renuonce her rights before the present action was \u2018brought.She was, therefore, presnmed to have accepted thie succession at that time, although she Lad cubsequently duly refused it.She iaust, therefore, be held responsible for the cost of the action, and for the $3 for services which she had ordered personally.Judgment was rendered accordingiy.\u2014e MUST NOT PILE UP COSTS, Charland\u2019s Advice About Rushing Into Law \u2014\u2014memnen: Justice Gave Juagment To-day Which He Hopes Will Deter Others From Taking Vexatious Proceedings.Mr.Justice Charland, tins morning rendered a judgment which is likely to have a salutary etfeot upon those who are inclined to rush into litigat.on regardless of costs.Lhe case was a complicated one and was the result of multiplied procedure.In the first place P.J.Bedard, the plaintiff in the present case was sued in the Circuit Court by Albert Brosseau, and condemned to pay $10.50.The judg- went not having being paid, the then plaintiff, Brosseau, proceeded to take a writ of execution for the sale of Bedard\u2019s household goods.Mrs.Bedard filed an cpposition to the first seizure in which she alleged that she was the sole owner ol the goods of the said household goods and of others on the same premises.But EN ec ; y 9 y Net ATRL Ÿ X ih ; AE i X D.Ber, ing\u201d was proposed by Mr.O.W.Lezault.| He

instead of taking note of the opposition and making a report according to law proceeded to another seizure on i the same premises and finaily to a third seizure a few days later.Thereupon the defendant in the first instance brought an action for $199 damages before the Circuit Court, allegng that all seizures subsequent to the opposition were illegal and malicious.He brought the action jointly agninst the plaintiff, Brcsseau and the bail who had made the seizure.Brosseau did not disclaim responsibility for the bailiff\u2019s action and joined { in the contestation of the action for damages, The court found that the first and second action complained off were illegal, intended to increase costs and to cause | worry, and therefore that there was ground for an action in damage.The damages, however, were merely ex- | emplary and the costs of Bedard\u2019s action formed part of these damages.These costs are very heavy and it would not be just to place the whole of them | cn defendant.\u2018The costs of s)enogra- phers were large and might have been avoided by Bedard if he had taken his ac- \u2018tion before a lower court.Consequently judgment was given in favor of Bedard for $20 and the costs or an action for $30, the plaintiff to pay all the stenographers\u2019 ccsts.The net result will likely be that both Bedard, Brosseau and his bailiff will be out of pocket, a good round sum, and Mr.Justice Charland expressed \u2018the hope that the judgment would serve to deter others from resorting to such procedure as that which had marked the present litigation, ee =

Interviewed at Onoe.\u2014 ~ Mr.McLeod Stewart, of Ottawa, Eh turned yesterday from England, where ne had been for the past couple ot months in connection with the Ottawa and Ge orgian Bay canal scheme.He says t ab the prospects were never so good as hi the present for the construction of this work.Capitalists are all favorably dis posed to Canada, and money can be ha for any reasonable scheme.A company has been formed under the name of the Dominion Syndicate, having a nominal capital of £50,000, but really with unlimited capital behind it, to develop the paper, pulp, mining and water power Ie sources of the Ottawa Valley.Regarding the canal itself, Mr.Stewart says that the Ottawa and Georgian Bay Canal Company has made with the Canadian Bank of Commerce the deposit of $200,000, required by the terms of its charter, being 10 per cent.on\u2019 its capital of two millions.The engineers, including Mr.Kenneth Mackenzie, son of Sir J.Dixon MacKenzie, Bart., are coming out at once to complete the surveys of the route.He expects that this will be done this summer, and is confident that the work can be completed within three vears from the first of July next.Mr.Stewart says that there will be no difficulty at all in floating the bonds of the company.A Liverpool syndicate, including some of the leading shipping firms doing business with Canada, are anxious te take up a part.While in London he had several very satisfactory interviews regarding the bonds with the representatives of Boissevain & Co., the Amsterdam bankers, who took such a prominent part in the financing of the C.P.R.He is now on the way to Ottawa to interview the Premier about the project, and says that there will be no diffi- enlty in earrying it to completion if he obtains fair encouragement from the Government, and this he hopes and expects.There are no polities about it, and there was never a more favorable opportunity for raisine the canital required.Everywhere in England he saw evidences of unbounded prosperity.In fact, in many cases customers were compelled to place their orders aibroad because the manufacturers were so pressed with work that thev were unable to fill them.For these and other reasons canital is now looking to Canada as a field of operation.The canal project was.endoreed editorially by the leading papers of England, such as the London Times, the Financial News of London, the Pall Mall Gazette, the Liverpool Tournal of Commerce, the Manchester Guardian, and Black and White of London.TUPPER'S CHARGES DISPOSED OF.Ottawa, May

From Halifax to Esquimalt, from the Great Lakes to the pole, That's the buckle of the golden zone that makes the empire whole; And every morning of her life the good Queen belts it on, And, when the strong, unbroken links are round her figure drawn, Behold the buckle shines in front, to break it let them try, For Halifax it is the hook and our Es- quimalt\u2019s°the eye.From Halifax to Esquimalt, from the Great Lakes to the ice, A buckle for Her Majesty was purchased with a price; Down from the Plains of Abraham to the hedge cf Lundy's Lane, Thro\u2019 cheers and tears, thro\u2019 blood and mud, thro\u2019 toil and spoil and pain, They bought and wrought the buckle; the mighty zone it graced; They put their arms about the Queen, and clased it round her waist.From Halifax to Esquimalt, from fresh water to the frost, They are finding out that every road is worth the splendid cost; I\u2019d rather have a shack of bark, thatched with Muskokan straw, Than a cyclone cellar, cool and safe, in breezy Arkansaw; I'd rather hear the binders break the western harvest calm, Than to hear the darkeys singing in the swamps of Alabam\u2019, I'd rather watch the violet spear flash in my northern sky Than see the faggots leap and flash when \u201cour colored brethren\u201d die; l\u2019d rather live by Moosomin, \u2019mid the prairie and the hay, Than own a smart plantation way down the Georgia way.Ah! the woods of grand Muskoka arc a safer place, I know, Than a house in big Chicago or a ranch in Idaho.From Halifax to Esquimalt, from fresh water to the snow, It will be the one salvation of the contin- below; It will be the last asylum of the folk who would be free, The prayer of Massachusetts and the hope of Tennessee.God\u2019s Park!

the International boundary between Canada and Alaska is now a principal topic of newspaper despatches between London and New York, and for Canadians, perhaps even more than for others, the despatches make exceedingly interesting reading.It is unfortunate that the American authorities ghould persist, as there is every indication that they do, in striving to fasten upon the Canadian delegates to the Joint High Commission a measure of opprobrium for the failure of negotiations on this subject, but this is in large measure compensated for by the heartiness with which popular opinion in England supports Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his colleagues in the position they are believed The Times and other leading English papers are evidently not in any way sorry that the principal share to have taken.in conducting the British side of the negotiations was committed to Canadian delegates, nor can they see that the Brit- ich commissioners have acted in regard to the Alaskan boundary in any way not consistent with their obligations.In the House of Commons, on Saturday, Sir Wilfrid Laurier valuable addition to the available infor- made a brief but mation on the subject.He explained that it had been found impossible to agree upon a settlement of the Alaskan boundary dispute.The Canadian interpretation of the documents defining that boundary Cid not agree with the American interpretation.There were, consequently, only two courses open by which a settlement could to agree upon a boundary which would in- Le arrived at.Either they were volve concessions by both sides, or the whole subject must be submitted to arbitration.It is quite plain that the first The talk of securing to Canada the possession of a port at the head of Lynn [let was quite plainly the outcome of the discussion of the question by the commission.As Sir Wilfrid Laurier further hints, an adjustment of the boundary on lines of give and take might very easily have materially influenced the progress of the negotiations on other subjects; but for reasons that were doub*- less to them sufficient the American commissioners did not see their way to recommending a compromise.It was not the fault of the Canadians, so far as can be scen, that the American commissioners should have thus eliminated the most promising means of reaching an agreement., After it had been made plain that the two parties could not agree upon a boundary, the proposition was made that the subject be referred to arbitration.Here came in the final clash which suspended, the commission.The British and Canadian delegates were willing to refer the dispute to arbitration on the lines laid down by the United States for the settlement of the Venezuelan dispute and agreed to by Great Britain.The Americans held cut for something very different, an arbitration board composed of an equal number of members on each side, or else one in which some South American potentate would have the deci:ling voice.Of this proposal it is only necessary to say that after it was made public it was promptly rejected by the better section of the press of the United States, which took the ground at once that what had been good enough for the United States to propose in respect to Venezuela was good enough to accept in respect to Alaska.Little has been heard of the proposition since that time, and the Amer: can authorities seem to have dropped if.With what surprise then do we read in the latest despatches from Washington that upon the subject being taken up at London by Ambassador Choate and Lord Salisbury it had been arranged to have a separate board of arbitration deal with the Alaskan boundary when tke plan was knocked on the head by Canada presenting as a condition in connection with the sub- nussion that in any event she \u201cshould have Pyramid harbor and a strip of territory on the Lynn canal, without reference to the general conclusions reached by the tribunal of arbitration.\u201d This despatch puts Canada in such an incredibly unreasonable attitude .that \u2018the warrant becomes stil] stronger for the wish expressed by Sir Wilfrid Laurier that the protocols might be published so as to put an end to the misrepresentation of the Canadian commis- gioners\u2019 attitude.There is such a strong similarity between this claim now attri- puted to Canada and the claim actually made by the American commissioners as contained in the official announcement made at the time of the adjournment that even the merit of originality does not belong to this last product of American correspondents\u2019 handicraft.It will be remembered that in the official stutement the American Commissioners, in addition to Their unreasonable refusal to have such a board of arbitration as was appointed in the Venezuelan dispute, included the stipulation that in any event American settlements along the coast of the disputed territory should remain American whatever the decision of the arbitrators should be.This proposal is now recognized by American correspondents as so extraordinary that they can see no more effective way of throwing discredit upon Canada than to attribute to her a similar contention.But now there comes a more promising outlook in the announcement that the Peace Conference at the Hague has been successful in so far at least as it has secured the assent of all the powers represented to a plan for submitting in future just such questions as this to arbitration.Sir Charles Tupper, whose long experience certainly entitles his épinion to respect, takes this to mean that the way is now clear for the immediate relegation of the Alaskan boundary dispute to a tribunal constituted in accordance with the decision of the Peace Conference, and that as a natural consequence there is nothing in the way of the reassembling of the High Commission in August.Sir Wilfrid Laurier is apparently wi'ling to consider this view of the case, 20 that it is just possible this little flare-up in the newspapers of London and New York may be nothing more serious after all than the prelude to a treaty which will be of lasting benefit to Canada and the United States and the British Empire.\u2014_\u2014 NEW DESTINY FOR IMPERIAL INSTITUTE, The many Canadians who visit England every year are of course familiar With \u2018the large and stately structure at South Kensington which an enthusiastic and loyal people raised as a memorial of the Queen's earlier jubilee; and they will be interested to learn that an important change has been decided upon as regards the purpose and destiny of the building, a change which, while pursuing its original scope, will materially extend its usefulness.It is no secret that for some reason or other which it is unnecessary and profitless to inquire info, the Imperial Institute has very far from realized the great expectations that were formed of it.1t was a magnificent show piece, but it was of practically no public utility.It was in fact, a large white elephant at which people would shrug their shoulders as they passed and wonder how long the deserted halls and corridors would cry out for the life that came not.Lord James of Hereford, has taken the place vacated by the lamented death of Lord Herschell, as chairman ol the executive ant it is curi- cus that his first public act in his new official capacity, to which he was nominated, by the way, by the Prince of Wales, should be the exposition of a policy which will open up an entirely new chapter in the kistory of the Institute.It has been apparent for some considerable time that : vnless some new departure could be de- vised, nothing could avert financial disaster.The excessive expenditure in struec- tural display left the building without adequate means of sustenance.The proverbial last straw came with the decision or declaration that it was subject to local taxation.Financial pressure led to the adoption of various expedients for raising money, which were neither very dignified nor commendable, having regard to the purpose for which the building exists.There hare been concerts, exhibitions and entertainments galore in the lope that they would redress a financial balance on the wrong side.At times they were successful and at other times they were not, but everybody felt that they were incongruous with the proper functions and aims of the Institute.The report submitted by Sir Frederick Ibel, the secretary of the Institute, at the annual meeting which was held the other day, showed a deficit of nearly £3,500 on the year, which bas been reduced by a payment of £1,600 on the part of the grarantors of the speculative venture of thc year, the bringing from Milan to London of \u2018the La Ecala band.It was an unfortunate venture and its ill-success will make guarantors more cautious of committing tbemselves in the future.The council has decided to abandon the attempt to conjoin popular entertainments with the prover work of the Institute.There willl be no more open air concerts, under the brilliant illuminations in those lonely gardens.Only such exhibitions will be held as will involve no very important outluy.This curtailment of operations, however, was not enough.It left the council face to face with the fact that the ordinary work of the institute was un- remunerative.1t could not put the establishment on a sound basis, still less could it defray the cost of opening a city branch in the hope of satisfying the croking of the section of the people who want information on matters relating to the Domun- ion and colonies and dependencies of the Empire without the necessity of a pilgrimage to South Kensington.It was at first thought that the institute might derive a substantial revenue by utilizing the numerous spare rooms and adopting them to the purposes of official headquarters of the representatives of the various colonial governments in London.\u2018The idea was, however, abandoned because it was felt that the Institute was.too far away from the Government departments in Whitehall and Westminster with which it is essential \u2018that the High Commissioner for Canada and the agents- general of the Australian colonies should be in close touch.From the statement made by Lord James at the annual meeting of the Institute we gather that it has now been settled that the new teaching university of London, the absence of which has been so long felt and deplored, but which the Imperial Government and Par- Lament have at last decided to establish, shall find a home within its walls.It is understood that moderate structural alterations will enable the university to be adequately removed there without in any way interfering with the work and engagements of the Imperial Institute.The Government are prepared to pay for the accommodation upon a scale sufficiently liberal to lift the Institute out of the financial quagmire.Lord James was somes what cryptic in his exposition of the scheme, but we gather that the London University will not exactly be the lodger of the Imperial Institute.The government are to become the trustees of the whole Imperial Institute buildings which will be made in part for the London Uni- wersity and in part for the Institute.The teaching faculties will be distributed in various parts of London, and the present buildings in Gower street and King\u2019s Cross, will be the nucleus around which the undergraduates will be at work.The Impemal Institute buildings will, however, be the centre of operations, the administrative offices and the examining centre and the centre for post graduate courses.Education in the true sense of the word is to be the purpose of this universily which it is intended to.be in every respect worthy of the capital of the Empire.The Institute wil] certainly fulfil\u2019 a more useful purpose in its new sphere than in the cld.lt would have been a satire upon the fertility of recourse of the English people had ats spacious rooms been devoted to no better purpose than emptiness or the familiar exhibits of colonial and Indian products.It was always somewhat of an incongruity that this vast structure should remain practically tenantless while the priceless treasures of South Kensington should be bumed as they have been in an agglomeration of makeshift structures utterly inadequate.This, however, is to be remedied for the Queen the other day laid the foundation stone of the Victoria and Albert Museum, which is to replace the present make-shifts.Many people think a great university worthily installed at \u2018the Imperial Institute, will form a more enduring monument of Her Majesty's reign than even the Victoria and Albert Museum.SE ABOUT EASTERN ONTARIO.The Star has become keen to have Fastern Ontario constituencies put into the pot along with the western portion of the province at the present redistribu- ton.\u201cIt was not an oversight when the Liberals omitted to apply the county principle in Eastern Ontario,\u201d says our contemporary.And it grumbles because South Feeds, Brockville, South Grenville and Leeds and Grenville have four members for only about 60,000 of population.For the enlightenment of the Star, it may not be amiss to show how the thin- ly-populated constituencies of Eastern Ontario went in the last election.Here is the list :\u2014 Population.Liberal.Cons.West Durham .15,374 Beith Leeds and Grenville 13,621 Frost \u2018East Hastings.,.18,050 Hurley Brockville.u00 15,853 Wood Dundas.ccoeveee 20,132 Broder East

Victoria.\u2026 16,849 Hughes Frontenac.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.13,445 Rogers (Patron) And the best the Star can say for the Liberal Government that let this state of affairs continue is that \u201cthe Ministers left the east alone because to meddle with it would have led them into sore trouble.\u201d Really it would not embarrass the Liberals very much if three or four of these Conservatives were left without constituencies.And York, Simcoe, Lamb- ton, Essex and Toronto dre all waiting for increased representation too.If Fastern Ontario was not thrown into the -pot along with Western Ontario counties the only reason is that the Government\u2019s bill is for the express purpose of righting the wrongs of the gerrymanders of 1832 and 1892.If the Government had desired or decided to gain as much party advantage as possible they would naturally have dene the very thing the Star and Conservative papers are complaining has not been done.But if these small Conservative constituencies in Eastern Ontariq had been wiped out the Star would have made an uproar on the score of the Government\u2019s insincerity in claiming that their measure was for remedial purposes only.Meanwhile the complaints will do no harm to the Government, because they will not deceive any thinking reader, , eo It will be admitted by all that Sic Charles Tupper made a distinctly better appearance in his remarks on Saturday concerning the prospect of a reassembling of the Joint High Commission than has been usual with him since his return to Canadian public life.His statements on this occasion were so obviously fraught with understanding of the delicacy of the international situation and so ohviously inspired by regard for the highest and best interests of the Dominion that his opponents can only wish he wouid adopt the same high tone more frequently.rT \u2014\u2014\u2014 VICS IN CAMP In Spite ofthe Rain the Non-Coms of the Victoria Rifles are Under Canvas at the Exhibition Grounds.In spite of the pelting rain the Victoria Rifles N.C.0.\u2019s fell in and marched to the Exhibition Grounds on Saturday where they pitched tents for their week's stay under canvas.When Saturday morning's rain threatened and later began to fall, some people prophesied that the Vics.would not go, but go they did and pitched their tents and arranged the camp before being dismissed for the night.As the grass was so wet it was decided to sleep in the horse stalls and a blanket spread on a hard floor was each man\u2019s bed.To say that the first night in camp was hilarious would be putting it mildly.The officers let the men tire themselves out so as to steady them for the rest of the camp, so the fun went merrily on as lcng as the men could keep awake, and censidering that it was almost impossible to sleep, that meant all night with a good many.Yesterday, however, the camp was under strict discipline and so it will remain all week.Guards were kept on the time and {he regular barrack room routine was gene through.In the afternoon the camp's company marched down to the Armory where the whole battalion fell m, and marched to the Church of St.James the Apostle, where Rev.Canon Eilegoode officiated.Reveille sounded this morning at 4.30 and soon the little village of white tents was alive with men preparing for the morning\u2019s drill.An hour\u2019s extended order walk was the programmme, despite the rain which was falling.Every care is taken ol the men so that though there are some discomforts due to the weather, these are taken good-na- turedly and the 70 men in camp are doing good work and having a good time as well.Major Hamilton is commandant of the camp and Lieut.-Col.Busteed, Adjutant (Capt).Wilton are frequent visitors.The officers of the company are Captain Fisher, Lieuts.Hagar and Gordon.The company officers will be relieved on Wednesday morning by Captain Hiam, Lieuts.Cameron, Davidson and Stike- man On Wednesday evening the band will attend and give a concert and the tombola drawing will take place.All those having tombola tickets or complimentary cards issued to the men in camp for distribution among their friends will be admitted.Every lady or

favorably commented upon by men who are in a position to know the needs of the case.There could be no better proof that it aims at a wide- gpread evil in this province than the attention it is exciting in greafer degree than is often the result of legislation introduced by a private member.Why this evil of usury has heretofore been allowed to grow unrestricted by our legislators, despite the efforts made from time to time to secure a law on the subject, may be surprising to some, but it is accounted for by the fact that interference by legislation with loan transactions is by no means as simple a matter as it would at first seem.It is always a most serious matter to restrict the right of contract.And then there is the objection that in reducing the money lender\u2019s profit, no matter how exorbitant it may De, you may be preventing some deserving man, who is temporarily embarrassed, from getting the money which he must have at any cost.While recognizing the value of these objections, the House of Lords recently approached the subject and succeeded in devising a measure which finally overcame ali opposition.The arguments used and the ideas suggested during these debates form very useful reading for Montreal readers to whom the usury question is not new.Lord James, of Hereford, who had charge of the bill, said that it dealt with an evil grcater than any that had been dealt with by legislation.Clerks had been ruined by getting into the hands of money-lenders, and being driven.to go on borrowing under the threats of exposure.The country was mapped out {in different areas in which members of the money-lending fraternity were in the habit of dealing.They enquired into the position of persous within those areas and their resources, what they had in possession or in expectancy.Then came temptation to borrow, and from that period dated in many cases the downfall of people who Lut for the temptation would not have thought of borrowing.No harm would be done to persons to whom borrowing might be of advantage by causing them to resort to legitimate means % obtaining the assistance they needed instead of going to men whose terms were extortionate.We are afraid that the practices of Montreal usurers are not more serupulous than those of the Old Country if we take the word of eminent judges for it.They tog, therefore, demand the attention of Parliament.The noble lord, answering the Duke of Argyll, also showed that interferemce by Parliament and the courts involved no new principle.The noble duke was of scne adult, who knew what he was doing, was sacred, and ought not to be interfered with, but that was nothing more than the echo of a speech the noble duke made in that House in August, 1881, with reference to the Irish land bi¥l.The House passed the Irish land bill, and after experience of its working the principle to which the noble duke took exception had been extended in different directions, Long before 1750 the courts had always been reforming, unconscionable bargains, and whenever an expsctant heir had dealings with a money-lender the courts had exercised the power of reviewing the transaction.In 1881 the doctrine was extended, and there was no novelty in taking this further step of providing that all hard and unconscionable bargains should bz open to review.On another occasion, Lord James continued, in 1872, that House passed a bill which did for the rate of interest.There was then exactly the same state of things\u2014a man borrowing and a man lending; but instead of going to the money-lender the borrower went to the pawnbroker's shop.By the act of 1872 it was distinctly laid down that the pawnbroker should not take more than 20 per cent.interest in certain cases, nor more than 25 in others.There was the whole principle against which his noble friend contended\u2014mamely, the principle ot limiting the interest charged.If his no- biz friend were right in his construction of the bill, then the Government were fob Jdowing the precedent set by the act ot Italian Warehouse, 207, 209 & 211 St.James Street, Montreal Three Carpet Warehouses To overflowing with the newest, most artistic, and effective

taken.If the money-lender charged more thon the pawnbroker, however, he was in the position that he might be able to recover the money he had lent, with interest, unless the court should decide that it was a hard and unconscionable bargain.The Court of Equity had always been reviewing bargains of such a character.In tae case of the present bill every precaution had been taken to prevent injury being done by the powerful and strong party against the weak party, whose interests were being affected by causes he could not control.As finally adopted by the House of Lords the Lill exempts from its provisions all loan societies, building societies and societies which lent money to their own members.All these societies are subject by statute to certain specific 1egulaticns, and so long as they obey the statutes under which they exist they are not to be interfered with by fresh rules.All bankers, insurance societies, and solicitors who do not make the lending of money their primary object are exempt from the operation of the bill, thus narrowing its application to those persons who notoriously carry on their business under conditions injurious to borrowers.It excepts the pawnbrokers\u2019 rates of interest for small sums because it seemed from cessive for such sums lent for a short time.The monsy lender would be entitled to receive in respect of a loan not exceeding 40s, 25 per cent.per annum; for a loan exceeding 40s, but not exceeding £10, 20 per cent.per annum; and for a loan exceeding £10, 15 per cent.per an- num.Clause 1 provides that every moneylender: (c) shall not \u2018enter into any agreement with respect to the advance and repayment of money or take any security for money otherwise than in his own name; and (d) where the advance of money to a borrower is evidenced or secured by any document, shall furnish to the borrower at the time when the advance is made, a copy of that document; and (e) shall not take any document evidencing or securing the repayment of money unless the document specifies his true name and states on the face of it that he is a registered money-lender.(Clause 2 provides that \u201cwhere proceedings are taken in any court for the ve- covery of money lent by a money-lender, the interest charged in respect of the loan exceeds the rate of 10 per cent.per annum, or that the amounts charged for expenses, enquiries, fines, bonus, renewals, or any other charges, are excessive, and by reason thereof the transaction is harsh and unconscionable, the court may reopen the transaction.\u201d The money-lender is defined as follows: \u201cThe expression \u2018money:lender\u2019 in this act shall include every person whose business is that of moneydending, or who advertises or announces himself, or holds himself out in any way as carrying on that business; but shall not include (a) any pawnbroker in respect of business carried on by him in accordance with the provisions of the Pawnbrokers\u2019 Act, 1872; or (b) any registered society within the meaning of the Friendly Societies Act, 1896, or any registered society mentioned in sections 2 or 4 of that act; or (c) any person bona fide carrying on the business of banking or insurance, or any business not having for its primary object the lending of money.\u201d Far harsher laws against usury have been in force in many of the states, some of which stop at nothing short of confiscation, and these are supplemented by liberal laws in the matter of exemption from seizure for debt.It may thus be seen that Canada, in adopting Senator Dandurand\u2019s bill would be in perfect accord with the ideas prevailing in English-speaking countries.Mr.Dandurand has put the maximum rate of interest at 20 per cent.per annum.It is experience that those rates were not ex- 4 AMUSEMENTS.AMUSEMENTS.| w'S THEATRE.HEATRE FRANCAIS, [Ei MAJESTY'S TH fal \"ALL THIS WEEK.À \u2014 THIS WEEK_\u2014 81 THE GRANDE NEW COMIC OPERA.FIRST TIME ON ANY

street from Being Wrecked Through Incompetency\u2014Some Costly Repairs.It has just leaked out that a terrible catastrophe, which wouid certainly have resulted in great loss of life and destruction to property, was narrowly averted at the high-level pumping station on Mclav- sh street a few days ago.\u2018The employs responsible for the accident are near relatives of an official and an alderman, and it 18 possibly owing to this circumstance that the facts have been kept trom the public so long.But for the arrival of Chief Engineer Coleman in the engine house at the critical moment one pf the large boilers in the pumping station would have been blown up, a number of lives might have been sacrificed, and the entire pumping plant at that place, and probably adjoining residences as well, would have been destroyed.As it was, the boiled was almost ruined and has since been repaired at a considerable cost.The accident appears to have been due to the incompetence or the gross carelessness of one or two of the employes.One of the worst features of the affair is that only a few days previously the incompetence or carelessness of the very same employes manifested itself in the same way, and then an accident was also averted by kn- gineer Coleman\u2019s timely arrival upon the scene.Notwithstanding this no action ,appears to have been taken to remove the responsible parties until the second and more serious accident ocurred.i In addition to the regular staff at the pumping house, which is said to be sufficient for the performance of all necessary work, a young man named Forest, a relative of Superintendent Laforest, and another man named Callaghan, a relative of Ald.Kinsellu, ex-chairman' of the Water Committee, are on the pay list for the high-level pumping station as assistants to the engineer, and as such are occasionally left for a short time in charge of the boilers.The first accident referred to was hushed up, and the responsibility was not placed by official enquiry.But it is known that about three weeks ago when one or both of the young men were in charge of.the \u2018boilers, they allowed the water in the boiler to get very low, while at the same time a strong fire was kept up, resulting in heavy stearn pressure.To turn cold water into a boiler in that condition js certain to result in disaster.\u2018Mr.Coleman stepped into the boiler room as the pumps were about to be turned on and so prevented a calamity.The warning apparently did not have the effect of teaching the lesson of carefulness that might have been accepted, as a little later similar carelessne:* resulted more disastrously, and almost cost the lives of those responsible for it as well as of many others, One or both of these young men were in charge at the time, about 6.30 a.m.A strong fire was kept in the fire-place, but the employes were not alarmed at the rapidity with which the water fell in the gauge.When the water was below the water-gauge and the steam gauge was registering over 100 pounds, cold water was turned into the boiler from one of the pumps.The natural result followed instantaneously.The enormous steam pressure created by the cold water coming into contact with the overheated flues was too much for the boiler\u2019s strength.As the steam burst forth from the gauges, and the fire was blown from the fire-place, Mr.Coleman arrived at the door.Taking in the situation, he turned off the water and quenched the fires.The whole thing was over in a few seconds, but the assistants were thoroughly frightened.And well they might be.Every one of the 153 stays on the boiler was loosened by the tremendous pressure that had been exerted.Boiler Inspector Champagne was notified of the occurrence, and he is said to have expressed the opinion that if ten gallons more water had reached the boiler the whole establishment would have been blewn sky-high.There are a number of residences in the immediate vicinity, and McGill University buildings

secretly, and a report of the investigation will probably be laid before the Water Committee this afternoon.Repairs were immediately begun under the supervision, of Inspector Champagne.The cost to the city will be in the neighborhood of three hundred dollars, and officials of the department are congratnlating themselves that it is not much heavier.Fortunately the new boiler wag ready for use, so no great inconvenience to the service was occasioned by the accident.THE NEWS FROM KINGSTON.Rev.John Munroe Goes to British Columbia \u2014 À Death.Marriage and Engagement.Kingston, Mav

the extent of $3,000, offered a settlement at £1,200 through his solicitor, but the council refused it and will meet to-day to finally decide on a course of action.The treasurer submits that the

Morning Sir Charles Rivers-Wilson Announced That the Strike Was Practically Ended.London, May 29.\u2014There was a crowded attendance to-day at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Grand Trunk Railroad of Canada, who unanimously adopted the Central Vermont Railroad agreement.An announcement made by Sir Charles Rivers-Wilson, president of the Grand Trunk, that the strike was practically ended, called forth much cheering.ee POIRIERS' INSURANCE, _m Ba fu The Companies Interested Contest the Claim of the Heir to the Policy.The name of Cordelia Viau was again before the courts this morning, when Mr.Justice Lemieux began tne hearing of evi- cence in the contestations over the insurance policies of her murdered husband Pcirier.The Standard Insurance Co., who Lad issued policies for $2,000, has brought an action to have the said policies annulled, and the heirs of Poirier, who are his father, mother and brothers, deprived ot all rights.Poirier\u2019s mother, on the other hand, sues for $1,000, to which she claims to be entitled.The contention of the insurance company is that, although the ap- Flication for insurance is signed by oPir- ler, he was acting under the influence ot ns wife, who had made up her mind to murder him, and that this fact constitutes a fraud sufficierit to annul the policy.rere THE PEACE CONFERENCE Yroposals Have Been Made for Remediation and Arbitration.The Hague, May 29.\u2014A brief official record of the doings of the peace conference during the past week says: \u201cProvisional proposals for mediation and arbitration have been submitted by the representatives_of Russia, Great Britain, Italy and the United States.\u201d The correspondent here of the Associated Press learns that the statement that the Americans have submitted an arbitration proposal is incorrect.Their proposals for a permanent tribunal are not ready, as a French translation is necessary.They wil probably be submitted on Wednes- ay.a St.Leon Water

are Still Firm But Deny That They Are Using Intimidation \u2014\u2014\u2014 INCIDENT ON THE LINE ty _ The committee of engineers and firemen who have, during the past week, been formulating their grievances at the Albion fiotel, had a long interview with Mr.Moree, the locomotive superintendent, at Point St.Charles this morning.When they returned to the hotel at 1 o clock t»- ay they inlormed representatives of :ha press that they had no information to give to the press as yet.They have submitted a very comprehensive detailed statement of their demands, but as tne mau- agement have promised to give these con- siaeration they deemed it advisable to make nothing public at the present juncture, either as to the nature of their claims or their interview with Mr.Morse.The men, upon their return, were very taciturn and did not seem to be at ail in a cheerful frame of mind.A good many meetings of the local centres of the order were held yesterday, at which resolutions were passed calling upon the executive to press for concessions from the company.The Grand Trunk management confidently declare that ditferences will be arranged, and that there is nothing more serious on this occasion than the questions that have come up for adjustment at former meetings between the engineers and the departmental chiefs at Point St.Charles.Trackmen Counting on Engineers.On the other hand, the Executive Committee of the Brotherhood of \u2018Trackmen, who are now on strike, seem to think that company is so serious that a strike may occur within the next forty-eight hours.They are kept posted by their local secretaries as to the feeling in different paris of the system.They are counting on a good deal of support from the engineers.As regards the trackmen, the situation is practically unchanged.In some cases they say they have been informed by letter and by telegram that the carpenters sent out to do the work of the trackmen threw down their tools after they had been eruploved for a few hours.A telegram was received from Richmond yesterday stating that thirty Italians had arrived there, but they met with such a cold reception that they remained only a couple of hours.They were unable to get any food or dring and quite a _nuwu- r of them went away in disgust.About thirty men are said to have been brought from Buffalo to London, but they left on the trackmen explaining the situation to them.The Executive Committee appear to think that the ventilation of their grievances in the House of Commas will be of some assistance to them, as it will widen the circle of sympathy on their behal*.They say there are as vet no signs of faltering in the ranks of the strikers.An Incident on the Line.A rather amusing, not to say ludicrous incident, is reported this morning in offi cial circles.It is said that Mr.Harris, the secretary of the Trackmen, and Section Foreman Mayea, who is one of the strikers, went out on the Grand Trunk line near St.Johns on Saturday, where a gang of men were at work under Mr.Dciphis Poutre, of Stottsville.They told Poutre that his was the only gang at werk on that division, and if they were actuated by any feelings of honor at all they would join the other strikers.Mr.Poutre said that he had nothing to strike for, as he was perfectly satisfied with a dollar and a half a day.1f his men felt dispos- cd to strike they could do so, but he had no desire to influence them in any way.\u201cThen,\u201d Secretary Harris is declared to Lave said, \u201cwe will give you till Monday to make up your minds, and if you don\u2019t come out then we will make vou do so.\u201d l'outre, who comes of a fighting race, declared : \u201cWe will be prepared for that.\u201d When a Grand Trunk official went over the line this morning he found the gang still at work, but the men had two guns leaded with salt on each hand-cart.They said they wanted no police protection.Another Grand Trunk official said to-day that half the men who have come out have left work because they hawe been coerced into doing so.If it were not for the executive committee, half of the men would be at work.\u2018There is no doubt,\u201d observed this official, \u201cthat the number of men on strike 1s large, but, I do not think it is so great as the executive make out,\u201d Mr.Poole, the chairman of the Executive Brotherhood says that no intimidation has bene used anywhere to induce men to come out or to prevent others taking the place of the strikers.He claims that the men are fighting the battle fairer than the company, whose roadmasters have told some of the foremen that if they did not go back at once to work their failure to support the company on this occasion would be remembered against them after a settlement is arrived at.Situation at Kingston.Kingston, Ont, May 29.\u2014The striking trackmen in this district are confident that the Grand Trunk Company will accede to their demand for more wages and shorter hours.Of the three coach loads of men who came here Saturday to take the strikers\u2019 places, all have disappeared but six, and they have expressed themselves as disgusted with the situation.They claim they are blacksmiths and bridge builders, and it was to do such work they were engaged, not to work as trackmen.At Napanee, Gananoque and other towns along the line it is difficult for such of the new men who wish to work to receive meals.Those in this city are living in the coaches at the company\u2019s expense.Saturday evening Magistrate Duff had five of the Montreal men sworn in as special track walkers at $2 per day and expenses.It is stated here that the passenger trains going east and west have orders to go fast and slow at certain points where it is supposed fhe track is not in the best of repair.Railway men are eagerly awaiting the result of to-morrcw\u2019s interview of the chiefs of the Conductors\u2019, Enginemen and Firemen with the G.T.management at Montreal.If the interview is not satisfactory it is said that inside of 48 hours there wili be a tie-up all along the line.William Jackson, one of the striking trackmen, was struck by an express train at 9.30 o\u2019clock at the G.T.R.depot.His head was deeply cut and one hip injured.He will recover.\u2014_\u2014 CENTRAL VERMONT OFFICE In the Board of Trade Building to te Abolished by the Grand Trunk.The management of the Grand Trunk have decided, as part of their plan for the reorganization of the Central Vermont, to abolish the general office of the Central Vermont in the Board of Trade Building.It has not yet been decided what position will be held by Mr.Brown, the agent in charge of the office there, but it is understood that he will not saver his connection with the com- parry.\u2018The Central Vermont ticket office on St.James street will continue, ag heretofore, under the management of Mr.Stonegrave.the dispute between engineers and the CHARGED WITH HUSBAND'S DEATH Mrs, Sparling is on Trial for Her Life at Bryson.ed SHE 1S SAID TO BE A POISONER.mt Her Whole Demeanor, However, is That of an Innocent Woman.- \u2014#-\u2014 THE ÉVIDENCE IS VERY STRONG serrer Iryson, Que, May 29.\u2014(Special.)\u2014In- terest in the Sparling poisoning case increases daily.Feeling nn the village 1s about equally divided, one part or the population holding the poisoning theory and the other as reeoiutely upholuing Mrs.Dparling's innocence.A gentleman who was at Bryson during the preliminary investigations informed The Herald reporter tinx morning that he was convinced of the innocence of the prisoner, although the evidence was strong against her.He states Luat two fucts stood out prominently; that deceased had for come time been carelessly running in and out of the house when he was suffering from measles, and that he had told his friends that he was going to get \u2018better some time after the Paris green was seen thrown about the premises.On Saturday Mrs.Johnston, of Shawville, gave evidence that prisoner had told her once that she would give Ler husband a pill if she was sure that people would not discover who gave it.William.Elliott, bailiff of Shawville, who arrested Mrs.Sparling on the day of her husband's death, swore that when he visited the Sparling residence on Friday morning Sparling had said: \u201cI got a dosë last night which will finish ma\u201d When witness asked Lim who gave if, he replied that it was his wife Alice.\\ hen prieoner was under arrest at the Pontiac House, Shawville, on that same night, she asked to see Alex.Watson and Frank Mitchell.Frank Mitchell, of Shawville, testified that when he went up to see Mrs.Spar- ling on the night of her arrest, at the Pontiac, she said to him: \u201cIf you see Alex.Watson tell him not to say anything about what we were speaking the other night, and T will not either.\u201d Mrs.Goodwin, late of Clarendon, but now of Arnprior, swore that Mrs.Spar- ling had not, as stated, stayed a week in her place with Alex.Watson shortly bcfore the death of Sparling.\u2019 Interview of the Prisoner.If Mrs.Sparling gave her husband a dose which sent him to his last long sieep, her bearing and demeanor since her incarceration and during the trial now going on little betray any indications of a disposition to commit so foul a deed.l'hrough the kindness of the court and the attorneys on both sides, the reporter was granted an interview with the prisoner at eight o'clock on Saturday night.Mrs.Sparling sat in the corridor, outside her ccll, when the reporter entered ind was introduced Ly her counsel, Mr.J.M.McDougall.She shook hands in a most cordial manner.In reply to a question as to how her incarceration in the jail had atfected her she replied that she had found it very lonely and trying at first, but latterly she had spant her time knitting and crocheting, which, along with what reading she did, vassed the time less monotonously.She was furnished plenty of reading by Governor Blondin, t& whore kindness and consideration she paid a high compliment.She stated that the only wisit- ors permitted were a few members of Mr.Steele\u2019s family, and that they did not come very often.With a slight tremor of sadness in her voice, Mrs.Sparling stated she would be twenty-three years of age in August, and that she had never seen her father since she was about two rears of age.Ie was at present in the otel business in Nipissing, and two half- sisters resided with him.Her mother had died when she was scarcely a year old, and she had been left to relatives to bring up.She was the only daughter by her father\u2019s first wife, and since he had re-married she had heard from him occasionally.From this the conversation drifted to her anticipations of the trial, and in answer to a question as to how she thought it would terminate Mrs.Sparling stated, without hesitancy, that if the witnesses only told the truth she would walk out of the building a free woman, and the circumstances which had seemed to weave the evidence of a heartless crime around her would be fully explained.\u201cWhat will you do in the event of your being acquitted ?\u201d asked the reporter.\u201cWell, I can hardly say just yet,\u201d replied Mrs.Sparling with a smile, \u201cbut I think I shall go back to my relatives in Shawville.\u201d Mrs.Sparling\u2019s cheerful manner all through the conversation was surprising, and it was difficult to believe that one who could commit the deed with which she is charged could muster such courage even with great effort.The people of Bryson seem to sympathize with the accused, but residents of Shawville are very outspoken in their belief that the woman is guilty.; - A DOCUMENT THAT WILL BF UNPOPULAR Assessment Department Asks Proprietors to Make Oath.\u2014 To Declare Upon a Legal Point Which _is Contested, The assessment department are sending out a circular to manufacturers and others whose machinery it was intended by the provisions of the new charter should be taxed, a form of declaration which they are expected to fill up and return.The declaration runs thus: I, A.B., hereby declare under oath that the machinery and other property so fixed to the land or building as to iorm part thereof at No.\u2014\u2014, \u2014\u2014 street, ward, belonging to \u2014\u2014 cost \u2014\u2014 dollars, and in consequence of the use and depreciation of the same are now worth dollurs.N.B.\u2014TIf unable to give the cost, state the present value.What is chiefly interesting about this document is that it requires the person who signs it to swear to his liavility or an assessment for which he will probably claim he is not liable at all.It has Leen decided at the City Hall that the taving clause is to be interpreted by the ecuvil code, and the civil code says machinery does not become part of the real estate unless owned by the owner of the land and building.That seems to give every tenant who owns machinery an excellent excuse for not filling in the declaration.What those who are their own landlords may do is not so clear.At present there does not seem to be anything for it but to fill in the declaration and submit to the iniquity of the taxation.rss Twenty Lumpy Jaw Qattle Dr.Laberge, Medical Health Officer, was informed this morning that there were twenty lumpy jaw cattle at the battoir.The veterinaries of the department were sent up to examine the cattle and see to their destruction.: 10 DREDGE AROUND THE GALLIA er A Final Effort to Float the Stranded Vessel Is Now Being Made

Association, has decided that this is the only method by which she can be floated.Mr.Renton, who arrived from St.John\u2019s, Nfld., some days ago, has made a careful and thorough examination of the

as the Gallia herself is concerned, she is now altogether in the hands ot Lhe insurance pecple, who for their own benefit are making every effort to get her off.As already stated, Messrs.H.& A.Allan's responsibility legally ceased the moment the passengers a cargo were removed.The ship is owned and the crèw were enzaged by Messrs.MeIver & Co._ The visit of the Harbor Board to the Gallia on Saturday was simply to give the individual members an idea of the exact position in which the Gallia lay.The board is in no official way interested in the removal of the Gallia.This morn- inz members of the board who had gone down refused to make any statement.\"here appeared to be ample precaution in that particular vicinity in the matter of buoys, ete.The court of enquiry will resume next Thursday at

from the Brooi- lyn bridge yesterday, was arraigned in court to-day.He was aiiowed to go free, as he had not apparently made his jump with any intention of suicide.XKretz seemed nore the worse for his experience.When asked why he had taken such a terrible risk, he said J \u201cl don\u2019t exactly know.It was a foolish thing tor me to do.I was impelled by something J cannot explain.I feit sure, however, that 1 would not be injured, and I had confidence that I would come out ali right.\u201d ; ree Gp em THE MACHINERY TAX.Assessors Purpose Treating Tenants and Land!o.ds Alike in the Matter of Taxation.The Citv Assessors are preparing to grapple with the assessment of machinery, pipes, wires, poles and street car tracks, etc, which have been added by the new charter to the realty list.The new charter gives to the assessors the power to require of owners of such property as to its value.Printed forms have been prepared and are to-day being sent out.It is the intention of the assessors to levy the assessment of one per cent.upon all machinery so affixed to a building as to form part of it, without regard to the ownership of the building or of the machinery.They have no intention at pres- civil code, and assessing only such ma- ~hivery as has Leen aflixed to the realty by the proprietor of the latter, and exempting the same çlass of machinery owned by tenants.Tenants and proprietors wil be treated alike, and if any are aggrieved they will have the privilege, says Chairman Dillon.of appealing to the courts.Chairman Dillon remarked this morning that the revenue raised by the new taxes levied this year would be disappointingly small.He anticipates an increase of less than $100,000, 4 so Mother Couldn!t Recover Child Judgment was rendered in the Practice Court this

polar bear sigh for a red hot stove, and winds that would tear the lettering of the pennant, but Saturday\u2019s weather came along and won the gold medal.As a source of real sorrow to the cranks its .percentage was 1.000.The weather man told us that it would be mostly fair, but this was as far off as some of O\u2019Laughlin\u2019s decisions.The gentle drops pelted down all morning and afternoon and the only people out Jere motormen, policemen and lacrosse ans.The caretaker out at the grounds took soundings every few minutes and if the Water on the field could have been turned into the St.Lawrence there would have been no trouble in floating the Gallia.Of course \u2018there was no sorrow in the Toronto \u2018camp \u2018because it saved them from another walloping, but they will have to face the music this afternoon.Felix will be in the Dox and will put the serpentine mcrrement on the ball in opposition probably to Williams.\u2019 Rochester won another game on Saturday and when Montreal goes there t.morrow (Decoration Day) to play two games there will be quite a warm time.Although our lead looms up large just at present a defeat or so at Rochester would change matters considerably and what oer way you look at it there is no ctuch in sight just now.Montreal is plaving the most consistent game of any club in the League at present with Rochester and Springfield showing up not a great many miles behind.A few days ago a Hartford paper came out with the important announcement that ail things considered Hartford and Worcester were the only clubs in the race.\u2018The man who wrote it is evidently eligible for the weather prophet business.|p NICE NEW à mone OF ROE A earn R @\\ just in.This Man\u2019s Predictions are as far off as O\u2019Loughlin\u2019s Decisions.Hartford is now at the bottom of the race, notwithstanding the fact that Billie Nash, Socksalexis and various other stars are on the team, not to speak of Crate or \u201cYoung Rusie,\u201d as the Hartford papers delight to call him, who by this | time must have a batting average of 3,- 978,461 per cent.To read the Hartford papers one would think that Crate was the only real thing in the business.Up to Saturday night there were only two pitchers in the Eastern League who had not lost a single game\u2014Souders and Felix\u2014and they both wear the Montreal uniform.When Mr.Crate acquires a similar record it will be time to hear something - about him.The Teams\u2019 Averages.Montreal is the only team in the League that now lines up the same as it did on the opening day of the season.With George sannon\u2019s greatly improved bat- tng there seems to be no necessity for a change.The team has been playing \u2018fast ball.To date they have batted :270, as against their opponents .266, while in fielding they have touched 938, while their opponents have only reached 924.Tommy Bannon leads the League in stolen ases, While none of the men are up in the \u201cwonder\u201d list of 400 hittsrs, Sher on, Dooley, Henry and Jacklitz are all r Waterproof Cloaks.Men whose business necessitated their being out a great deal to-day, and who had nothing better than an Umbrella to keep the wet off, probably sighed for that dry, warm, comfortable fecling which a Waterproof Cloak gives.Such men should provide themselves with one of our Regu- rene wg lation

far this season.He is not in the best of shape.Schiebeck has never fielded his position better in his life than so far this season, and Johnson has shown that he is an improvement on O'Brien, although the laiter is holding his own with Baltimore.Montreal has the best quartette of pitchers in the League.Souders leads the League with a record of seven games won and none lost, while Felix is in second place with four wins and none lost.Duggleby has pitched good ball, but has had a lot of hard luck, and Abbey is not yet in the best of condition.\u2018The team has shown that it can fight games right out to the end\u2014a thing that last year\u2019s team was a bit weal in\u2014and there is no reason why it should not win the pennant.Certainly its remarkable work on the present home stay is a good avgury.Of the fourteen games played, Montreal has won ten, tied two and lost two, a percentage of .833.No other club in the League has done as well, HARTFORD SHUT OUT.Springfield, Mass, May

fifteen hundred people, and the heme team simply slaugntered the Mascots, winning hands down by a score of 15 to 2.Up till the ninth innings the latter team failed to score wien the infield allowed the only runs of the game to cross the plate through errors.With the exception of this inning the work of the entire St.Johns team was simply magnificent {rom every standpoint, but the credit, if any, goes to Viau and Page, who did the battery work, Viau letting the Mascots down for four singles, all told, while l'age cut them off at second and third by thrcwing to bases.The excursion from Montreal was a big success, but the excursionists were several hundred -sports, hacking their champions of last season, The success of the St.Johns team will, urdoubtedly, turn out a large excursion when they play Hochelaga on June 11.STANDING OF THE CLUBS.Vs.Per Club.Won.Lost.cent.Montreal.16 6 727 Rochester.13 7 .650 Springfield.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.10 8 556 T'eronto.il 11 500 Providence., .e 11 12 A478

RETURN.They Are Confident That They Can y from the Roseville Team on the Two Matches.\u2014\u2014 THE NEW RACQUET COURT, remet DES The lacrosse season in Montreal opened rather inauspiciousky on Saturday, at least so far as the weather is concerned.Otherwise it was all that Montreal could desire.The local team won, and, further- nore, demonstrated pretty effectually the fact that they have a rattling good team, and with a little more steadiness all arcund and a more frequent use of \u2018head work\u201d will develop into one or the best in the country.The Montrealers were fazter men, better stick-handlers, and in far better condition than their opponents, In fact, the Cornwall team was plainly played out, and to suen an extent that they refused to play the last twenty m'n- utes of the game.This lack of condition has much to do with their defeat, for, although as stated the local boys have got a fast, strong toam together, their lack of good judgment and generalship would certainly have made a closer score had the visitors been better prepared physical- y However, it was a splendid beginning for a club that for a number of years has been only mediocre, and the chances of the inter-provincial championship coming here ace at least bright.Just where Montreal arpears to be weakest is in the defence ot their own flags and delying in the attack on their opponents.\u2018\u201cl'here is too much useless passing, and as often as not they passed to men who were too closely checked.The result was that they missed chance after chance that would have given a team of veterans the match half a dezen times.The prospects are that in a year or two M.A.A.A.will have a team similar to those of years ago, that carried everything before them.The bad weather doubtless kept hundreds away, and when the referee\u2019s whis- tl» blew there was a small band of some two hundred lacrosse enthusiasts gathered on the grand stand.The Game.Cornwall won the toss, and naturally chose to play into the eastern goals, the wind and drizzle upon tneir backs and undoubtedly an advantage.The teams and officials were as follows :\u2014

ball was put through by Day.Montreal 1, Cornwall 0.Again the ball went straight Cernwall wards, but in the ardor of the attack the local defence got strung out until Ham'l- ton had no one to assist him in the de- fenoe of his poles.The consequence wus that when the ball came back Cornwall had no trouble in scoring.Montreal 1, Cornwall 1.The superiority cf the Montreal team in speed and stick handling was now quite apparent Yet they lacked judgment, especially the home, which kept passing back to an unnccessary extent.They had all the speed and strength necessary.lrvine finally secred.Montreal 2, Cornwall 1.The fourth game lasted exactly sixty seconds.Montreal defence made a short but desperate siege, the ball going from Williams to Irvine, Porteous and Day, tae latter scoring.Cornwall 1, Montreal 3.; The fifth game opened with a continuation of the attack on Cornwalls\u2019 goal.It was tiring rapidly and in consequence the game got very ragged.Then the locals braced up, the home closed in, Ernie Christmas finally scoring.Montreal 4, Cornwall 1.Montreal still kept attacking the Cornwall flags, and although the home team were playing carelessly, the visitors were too fagged out to take advantage of it.Brown finally scored the fifth game from a scrimmage in front of the poles.Montreal 5, Cornwall 1.| There was still some twenty minutes of playing time left, but Cornwall having had enough, acknowledged it like men.MONTREAL JUNIORS BEATEN.Conway, on a pass from MeMillan, scored one goal fer the Points on Saturday, after only one scored by either

Club The Sherbrookes put up a plucky game, but all to no purpose.They seemed strong enough in the field, and their defence men worked weil, but they did not seem able to get near enough to the Quebec goals, and Moran had only a couple of opportunities to clear, and each time Li: did the trick in a most creditable man- rier.Copeman filled his position most ac- cer-tably, while Mike Murphy was a regular engine for the visitors.» The goalkeeper, and Lewis, the colored point ot the Sherbrooke team, saved their goals tune and time again, but D.Butler, Kennedy and Riley kept shooting so fast and farious that the only wonder is that the sccre of the home team was not doubled.MeManamy was effective in the field, but \u2018his shooting was rather off; in fact, the weather was such as to prevent really accurate work.Tom Butler.and Nolan, who was on for the first time, put in splendid work, while the others were fully up to their old standard.rapeau, Hogan, Slattery and Maguire, for the

HANDICAP A Record Crowd Saw Him Defeat the Favorite, Filigrane, Without Trouble, dk \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 FRENCH DERBY.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The Close of the Woodbine Meet After a Most Successful Week's Racing.\u2014_\u2014-\u2014 THE MANCHESTER MEETING.en New York, May 27.\u2014The thirteenth running of the Brooklyn Handicap at Graves- end was an upset,but not so great as it has been in some other years when a rank outsider was the winnner.Ex-Corporation counsel W.H.Clarke\u2019s four-year-old Ban- aster won to-day all alone, Lanky Bob was second and the favorite, Filigrane was third.At four o'clock the bugle called the candidates for the Handicap to the post and they began their parade past the grand stand.Long before the hour for the first event every seat in the grand stand was taken.In the fifty cent field, the 7,000 tickets that had been provided, were sold out an hour before the first race, and the hoxes had to be opened and the paste- boards re-sold.According to the estimate there were fully 15,000 in the field and at least 10,000 werc in the grand stand and paddocks.It is safe to say that 25,000 people applauded the horses on the way to the post.For about half an hour the 16 starters manoeuvred, Box spoiling one break, George Keene another, the winner, Banaster, another, and Don de Oro another.At last the starter caught them in line, the red flag swished, the time flag dropped, and the great crowd gave vent to the cry, \u2018\u201cThey\u2019re off,\u201d and the race was begun.In the first quarter George Keene and F iligrane were showing the way with Banaster in third place only a head behind the leaders, who were separated by a head.They passed the grand stand for the first time with George Keene and Filigrane going along easily in front, a scant length ir: front of Banaster, on whom Maher had something more than a steadying pull, for it took all his strength to prevent the four-year-old from jumping over the top of the two leaders.The rest of the Iot were bunched with Algol leading them, a length behind Banaster.As they rounded the lower turn George Keene and Filigrane were racing along comfortably and Banaster was still buck-jumping behind them, showing that he had a world of speed in reserve.Both Keene and Filigrane were running head and head as they straightened out, while Banaster was a length and a half back of them.Algol was still leading the second division, all being close together.On rounding the upper turn Maher, on Banaster, let out a link or two, and be- force the boys on George Keene and Fili- £:ène knew it, Banaster was sailing past tuer devouring the ground with every stride.He had a commanding lead be- fcre the jockeys on the other two had an idea anything was near.It was a wonderful burst of speed, like nothing that had been seen on the track before, and stimped Banaster at orce as one of the hizliest class racehorses.In almost the triniling of an eye he had taken a lead of full six lengths and turning into the stretch was that distance in front.The crowd yelled like mad and it seemed as ii everybody backed the winner.The run through the stretch was nothing, as Ban- aster was far, far ahead, with absolutely rothing to stop him from winning the classic stake of the Brooklyn Jockey Club.Maher had him up in his lap, to prevent him from making too great an exhibition.The only semblance of a con- tect was for .the place between the favorite and Lanky Bob.As they rushed rast the judge Lanky Bob whipped out, and three lengths behind the winner, was just a length in front of the favorite, who was a counle of lengths in front of Don de Oro.The time, 2.06 1-4, might have been a good deal faster had Maher elected to make it so.Summary: Ranaster\u2019s time of 2.06 14 breaks the record for the Brooklyn Handi- can, the record of 2.07 having stood since 1887, the first year of the handicap, when Dry Monopole, Blue Wing and Hid- #lgo

history of the Ontario Jockey Club has been the success attendant upon the spring meeting of 99 which closed to-day.The Sport of Kings has made tremendous strides in Canada the past few years, but in no other place has the improvement been so noticeable as it has in Toronto.Horse-racing here is above the level of the ordinary, and even the best tracks on the other side of the line and the patronage of the very best people in the community is convincing evidence of the realization of the standard that the club oflicials have striven for.Socially, financially and from @ racing standpoint the meeting just stretch.ae brought to a close has excelled anything ever given in this country, and the directors may be pardoned if they indulge in a little self-congratulation at their success.With black clouds in the sky and an ominous wind portending a heavy downfall of rain get-away-day.as the horsemen call it, was ushered in.Fortunately the rain held of to a large extent, and again thousands were attracted to the Woodbine.The feature of the day was the Waterloo Handicap at a mile and an eighth, for a 21,000 purse.A field of ten was seraich- ed down to 7 at post time, and with one exception all were Canadian owned.x.W.Gravdon\u2019s Duke of Middleburg was equal favorite with Bon Ino and Howe- like, J.E.Seagram\u2019s pair, with Carruth- ers & Shields Toomast and Frank Joubert, coupled, second choice, at 3 to 1.Wm.Hendrie\u2019s Lavercek was at 4 to 1, and the solitary representative of the Unite States, Jas.O\u2019Connor\u2019s Pearl, was the outsider at 10 to 1.Homelike made the early running, but tired after going seven furlongs, and The Duke of Middleburg took up the pace.He swung into the stretch a length and a half to the good, with Laverock , who trailed the bunch in the first part of the race, in second place.There ensued a great duel to the wire.Laverock got to the Duke in the last sixteenth, and they fought it out with wonderful gameness, neck and neck, to the finish.Everybody thought Laverock had won, and her number was run up unotli- cially.The judges consulted the stewards, however, and after some delay the Duke was awarded the race.Topmast was a fair third.The Street Railway Steeplechase, over theefull course, was won easily by A.M.Orpen\u2019s od mare, Florida Rose, wh picked up 150 pounds and made her field lcok very cheap indeed.R.Dyment\u2019s black gelding, Roseberry, was second, beating H.E.Simpson\u2019s Eli Kindig off in the Mr.C.W.Penniston\u2019's Montreal jumper, Burnap, was fourth, and Campbell & Hendrie\u2019s Longbrook, badly ridden by Mr.Murray Hendrie, who shows great lack of taste in riding in professional races, the poorest last yet seen at Woodbine.William Hendrie showed how good his province-bred really were in the Dominion Handicap, the sluggish Toddy Ladle winhing the event easily.John Dyment\u2019s Jessamine Porter, the despised outsider, beat the favorite, Maratana II., for second place in a hard finish.Mr.Seagram's Bandonyx was last.The first race had no less than seventeen starters.Tamora broke lengths in front of the bunch and set a hot pace to the stretch, where she quit.Rey Salazar and Wordsworth were Hghting it out together the last furlong when Newberry and Ninety Cents came from the ruck like a streak, capturing second and third money in the fiercest kind of a drive.Starter Pettingill made a bad fist of the 2-year-olds.Robert Grav was left standing at the post with Happy Hermit in just as bad a fix.Owensbcro made the pace, but could not stand the drive in the stretoh.Sarmatian came away when ready and won his third race of the meeting with his jockey sitting up.Satira got second place by 4 head in the last few jumps.Two consolation races at a mile that closed the meeting went respectively to Jack Carey, a lU to 1 shot, and Alarum, who opened at 30 to 1 and was played down to 3 to 1.First Race.Norway Purse, $350, 6 furlongs\u2014 N.Dyment\u2019s

chair.lhe report presented by the council showcd that the past year has been cne of activity and progress.In all matches the club had a decided balance of victories over its opponents though the cham- plonship of the city had been wrested from it by the St.Denis Club, by the narrow margin of one point.The continuous tournament had been a distinct success.It was won, for tie first quarter of the year by Mr.E.L.Stuwe, with a percentage of wins to games played of 74.The large number of entries in both the championship and handicap tourneys delayed their completion, but both were in an advanced state.The club was fairly well represented (in the C.C.A.tourney, two members securing prizes in the cham- Flonship class.The roll of members had increased during the year and the decided improvement in play in the second and third classes would necessitate considerable care in revising the club handicap.The finances, too, had improved.The report and financial statements hæring been adopted, the retiring officers were: warmly thanked for their services, and the following officers were unanimously elected for the coming year: + .President, Professor Cox; first vice-.president, Mr.5.M.Munn; second.vice-president, Mr.T.Ridler Davies ; secretary-treasurer, Mr.C.T.Anstey ; n embers of the council, Dr.G.Beers, Dr.E.A.Robertson, Mr.C.C.Wheeldon.The club is the oldest chess club in the Dominion of Canada, and one of the oldest in the Empire.Having a continuous existence since its establishment in 1844, iv 1s now entering its 36th year, and a confident appeal is made to its members and friends to make the coming year thorough ly worthy in every respect, of an institution which has always been representative of the best traditions of the royal game.The council has several attractions in view for the next season, and those who are interested in any branch of chess will do well to ally themselves to the premier representative of the game in this country.Particulars ag to membership, etc., may be had by applying to the secretary-treasurer (1773 Ontario street), or to any member of the club.\u2014e THE RING.BETTING FAVCRS FITZ.New York, May 27.\u2014Bob Fitzsimmons

feel certain it has a great future.With the exception of a few properties, the claims are in the early stages of development, but sufficient work has been done to prove the exist- cuce of large and well-defined quartz veins, carrying considerable value in gold and silver.So far as I could learn, the average value of the ore in a number of these properties ran from $16 to $20 per ton.At present, owing to the excessive cost of supplies and the expensive processes at present in use for cx- tracting the gold, some of the ore cannot be treated at a profit.Railway facilities, however, will produce beneficial results.Later cn, with the adoption of improved jrocesses, good profits can be made on even the low grade ores.Pos: sibly 18 per cent, of the goid is carried off in the tailings, and no doubt it will \u2018be successfully treated later on.\u201cThe Republic seems to be different from the other mines in the camp.It has \u2018faults\u2019 that separate the ore chutes, and the values, instead ot being disseminated through the entire unbroken veins, are concentrated on ore chutes.This accounts for the higher values we derive compared with the other mines as far as developed.Our pay streak varies in width from three to twenty-four feet.The mine has at least a million and \u201ca half tons of ord in sight.The value of the ore shipped to the smelter before the completion of the mill averaged $165 a ton.The average value of the ore will now run 869 a ton.The high-grade ore chutes from which the smelter shipment was taken, was recently broken into above the No.1 level.Assays show values ranging from $100 to $330 a ton, thus greatly increasing in value the ore in sight in the mine.: \u201cExperiments are now \u2018being made,\u201d continued Mr.MecCuaig, \u201cwith a view fo improving the method of treating the ore.A considerable saving has already been effected, and as soon as it reaches a satisfactory state, a mill three times the capacity of the present plant will be installed.Just now the mill handles 35 tons a day, paving, after all expenses are deducted, a monthly dividend of $31,590.The mine is now in position to ship 200 tons of ore a day.My estimate of $60 ore throughout the mine does not take into consideration the high grade chute in No.1 level.We are running a tunnel 2,250 feet long io tap the vein at a depth of 800 feet If the ore is as good at that level as it is above, the value of \u2018the ore in sight will be more \u2018than doubled.\u201d \u201cIs the control of the mine held by Canadians ?\u201d _ \u201cit is.The present dividend of $31,500 a month will be increased as soon as the cost cf treating the ore can be reduced.The present mill earns more than the dividends.\u201cI am tanking a conservative view when I predict that the Republic will yet prove to be the richest gold mine on the Am- concluded Mr.Me: SAYS D Cuaig.In further conversation, the Montrealer who so successfully handled the Payne mine deal denied that he was connected with the deal that recently resulted in the consolidation of the Pearl, Surprise and Long Pine properties in Republic Camp.Mr.MeCuaig and his experts left thid morning jor Summit Camp to examine the \u201cB.C.\u201d mine, which recently passed into the control of James Ross, the mil- licnaire contractor, and other Montrealers.New plant has heen ordered, and the property will be developed this summer on an extensive scale.Mr.MeCvaig takes a very sanguine view of the future of the mining of the enormous gold-copper ledges of the Boundary district.Fern Head Office.The Fern Gold Mining Company has heen reorganized, and the head office transferred from Vancouver to Nelson.Evening Star.The Evening Star, on Springer Creek.is under bond to Maokenzie, Mann & Sutherland.The

into consideration an agreement entered intn hy the directors of both companies for the amalgamation of the properties.Under the preposed arrangement tiie shareholders of the Hammond Reel will be given an opportunity of taking up the shares pro rata.The new company will get the 40-stamp niill, etc, and the large sum of money now in the treasury.It is thought that the board of directors will embrace Sir Pirhard Cartwrizht, Col.Sweny, Clarkson Jones, Walter Macdonald, Senator Cox, IL.W.Folger, of Kingston, and John Morty, of London, England.Canada Mutual Mining Co.The work now being done by the Canada Mutual Mining & Development Company upon a number of properties will draw the attention of investors to two or three other mining camps as well as Ross- land.The Minnie No.2 on Red

this summer.Little Giant group on Lookout Mountain has all assessment work and surveying completed, and crown grants will be obtained in due course.The company has several times been asked for an

THE RED ARMY DEFEATED.The Staff Ride Ended on Saturday W.£1 a Victory fcr the Blues, St.Catherines, Ont, May 27\u2014The staff ride concluded at this point to-day.The blue army took up the pursuit of the beaten red army and advanced on St.Catherines, which was held by the enemy.\u201cThe first infantry brigade moved by the Hamilton-St.Catherines stone road, and the second brigade by the middle road, one mile \u2018north.The artillery marched with the former, and on arriving within a couple of miles of the enemy\u2019s position, moved two miles south to near Decew's Falls and came into action on the extreme right of the blue army, protected only by the cavalry screen.The attack of the blue army proved successful and the enemy aetired beyond the Welland canal, but still held Clifton in force.This afternoon General Hutton met all the officers who had taken part at the Welland House, and criticized the campaign.He congratulated the officers generally on the success of the ride which he said was the most realistic and enthusiastically conducted he had ever attended.The blue ammy on the previons day had been declared to have lost heavy in killed and wounded, providing thereby an inter- » esting exercise for the medical officers in arranging for the hospital supplies and remcival of the wounded.The operations of to-day had consisted in the pursuit of the beaten enemy, and the co-operation of the cavalary brigade on the Decow Falls-Thorold high ground.The operations, the General said, were of the most in teresting character, not only strategically, but tacticaliy and provided an excellent illustration to the staff and regimental officers of their duties in actual warfare.Lhe umpire-in-chief and umpires held a conference prior to the general resume of the whole three days\u2019 military operations when each officer in turn, was called upon to explain his orders,\u201d and the rea- scns for the various movements for which he was responsible.The General expressed himself to all concerned, as extremely gratified with the result.He especially thanked Coli.Kitson for the care, experience and thought which had been given to the training of the \u2018officers of the staff ccurse which rendered the present exercise possible and successful.The lessons learned and experience gained by all would the general felt, be ample recompense for three days\u2019 hard riding and some discomfort.The sixty officers left for their homes this evening.All were enthusiastic over the success of the first stafi ride held in Canadac NET LOSS $230,000 The

SUICIDE THEORY ACCEPTED The Deceased Had Showr Signs of Derangement for Some Months Previous.ere WELL KNOWN IN Pts.MONTREAL The mystery surrounding the disappearance of a monk from the frappist monastery at Oka, was solved on rriday aft2r- noon, when his body was found on the banks, on the Oka side, of Lake of Two Mountains.His name was Father Leon.\u2018The monks became convinced that their \u201cFather\u201d had drowned himself, and were untiring in their efforts to find the body.The strong winds of Thursday and Friday helped to carry the body down the lake where it was found on the Oka side by two monks.Prior to his entering the monastery, Father Leon lived in Montreal, his name being Edward Ilardy.A brother of his is employed in a wholesale house in this city, Hardy, evidently, had pronounced re!i- gious tendencies, for from 1882 till 1892, he was a \u201cBrother of the Christian schools.\u201d As a member of that institution he tauzht in St.Roch\u2019s skhool, Quebec, and tuer

Ottawa, May 27.\u2014There was a dramatic opening to the session of the House yesterday, when, upon the orders of the day Heing called, Hon.John Costizan rose in his place and told how his sense of selt- respect and public duty had driven him to cut himself asunder from the political organization headed by Sir Charles Tup- por and known as the Conservative party.Ta deliberate words, carrving with them ithe force of the utterances of an independent man who places the duties of manhood before the influences of political cabal, he proceeded to refer to the chain of circumstances which led to the downfall of the Conservative party and to the qiccrediting of its self-imposed leaders in the minds, not only of the independent electors, but of the better element in the l'onservative party itself.It was a bad three-quarters of an hour for Sir Charles Tupper.In opening, Mr.Costigan referred to the manner in which unworthy motives had been credited to him by Sir Charles Tup- per when the Opposition leader had been | confronted with the statement of his posi- tior as announced in The Herald, and to the unwarranted attacks made by Mr.Join Ross Robertson in the columns of the Toronto Telegram.Armed with his\u2019 double-barrelled gun, an editorial writer and a cartoonist, the so-called independent member for East Toronto (Mr.Robert- | eon) had accused him of never having apposed a Government, when as a matter of fact, he (Mr.Costigan) had been one of the old guard which had fought for Conservatism during the years from 1873 to 1875 when the Conservatives were in opposition.Slanders Refuted.The much-abused man who had taken his political life in his hands sooner than be a party to the tactics of Tupperism | next refuted the twice published slander, first given publicity in the Toronto Mail and recently revived in the Mail and Fm- pire, accusing him of an attempt to betray Sir John A.Macdonald in 1884.Mr.Costigan proved the true nature of the old slander by the words used in Parliament by the late Conservative chieftain himself.The bitter statement lof Sir Charles Tupper when shown The Herald's announcement of Mr.Costigan\u2019s position was next considered, and before the references to the dark pages in Conservative history which marked the deposition of Sir Mue- kenzie Bowell and the elevation of Sir Charles Tupper had been concluded it was not difficult to understand the bitterness of the disappointed leader towards the man who would not be a party to his ambitious plans.Mr.Costigan went on to say \u2018that he had enjoved the confidence of Sir John A.Macdonald, Sir John Abbett, Sir John Thompson and Sir Mackenzie Bowell; he could not say that he had enjoyed the confidence of Sir Charles Tup- per.It had been with reluctance that he had entered the Tupper government, and he had only consented to do so upon cer-\" tain express conditions regarding the protection of the rights of the Irish Catholics, the conditions having been clearly set forth in a letter to Sir Charles at the time when the Government was beins formed.Sir Charles\u2019 statements regarding his motives for severing his connection with the party he held to be entirely unworthy of the leader of a great party.If such attacks were repeated Sir Charles would find that blow would be returned for blow.While he had been a member ot the Government he had been as loyal to the Government as any man in it, more lcyal than some, as had been evidenced by the stand he had taken when the new crusade was started to unhorse Sir Charles himself.During his political career ot thirty-eight years he had done his best to discharge his duty by his constituents and to the country generally, and he resented charges of want of honesty or frankness.He was satisfied to leave the judgment of his course with his friends.He had started carning wages as a hired man, he had and, if he had not grown rich from poli- ber of the House as the leader of the Opposition was.He had voted against the Yukon Railway contract last year, not because he disapproved of the principle of but because he did not agree with the He had voted against the Opposition policy in the recent Yukon charges, for he believed a more This was shown by the result of the election in Funeral of Miss Heelan.The funeral of the late Miss Margaret Heelan, daughter of Lieut.William Heel- an, took place from her father\u2019s residence, 127 Mackay street, on Saturday morning.There was a very large attendance of their friends at the funeral.The celebrant of the mass was the Rev.Father \u2018Donnelly, assisted by the Rev.Fathers Sinnott and Shea.yy _.Fire in a Brewery.ompany, 606 St.Paul street.; -On reaching the spot, the firemen dis- overed that the sawdust between the ipper floors had become ignited.It was \u2018ound necessary to tear up the flooring in order to get at the seat of the fire, a very difficult one to cope with on account of the intensity of the smoke.The saw- an \u20ac 7 Brockville.The reckless way in which personal character had heen sacrificed had been enough to damn the chances of any man whom the Opposition might have named as its candidate.The reasons given by Mr.Costigan for the severance of his connection with his old party were substantially those which he gave in The Herald interview some weeks ago.When referring to them he said that he would sooner fall telling the candid truth than save himself by misconstruing facts.Referring to Sir Mackenzie Bowell, he said that whilst the ex- leader\u2019s course had been different from his own, he felt sure that Sir Mackenzie had as little confidence in Sir Charles as he bad himeelf.Sir Mackenzie Bowell was one of tle listeners in the Senator's gallery when Mr.Costigan made the reference to him.Sir Charles\u2019 Bitterness.Sir Charles Tupper had evidently keenly felt the exposure of Tupperian tactics \u2018by the man who had been strong enough to cut himself clear of them.His reply gave evidence throughout of his personal ulwill.Indeed, so great was his bitterness that once, when referring to Mr.Cos- tigan, he went so far as to deliberately recall the conventional words of debate \u201cmy honorable friend,\u201d and used \u2018tne | words \u201cthe honorable gentleman\u201d instead.Despite the full explanation made by Mr.Costigan, he insisted upon attributing unworthy motives as the explanation of ihe course taken by that gentleman.He objected to Mr.Costigan\u2019s description of the Hibbert Tupper Yukon charges as \u201ca brutal course,\u201d evidently forgetting how prone he himself was to indulge in loud-sound- ing superlatives.Indeed, almost in the next breath Sir Charles used some of the choicest specimens from his heavy vocabulary when framing an insinuation regarding the administration of Yukon affairs.He even allowed himself to be carried away by his own eloquence, and, leaving Mr.Costigan for the moment, he treated the House to a chapter of his Sherbrooke speech where he gave utterance to his fond conceit that his son's innuendoeswlhich had been frowned down by the electors of Brockville, were being taken seriously to heart by the people of three continents.It was at this point that Sir Charles again fell into his chiof weakness, self-worship.Referring to Mr.Costigan\u2019s course in retaining for a time his seat among the front benches of the Conservat:ves, he associated with the air of a dictator \u201cThe seat was not his.lt was mine, and le held it because he was a colleague of mine.He was placed there by me.\u201d (Laughter).Mr.Robertson\u2019s Mistakes, Mr.John Ross Rcbertson, who followed, did not attempt to withdraw the statement made in the Toronto Evening Telegram, of which he declared himself the owner.He took advantage of the occasion to fashion another of these epigrammatic sentences, of which he is so fond, taking as his subject an epitaph for Mr.Costigan.A moment later Mr.Robertson announced a cable message to his paper announcing that a New York correzpondent of the Londen Times gave the Canadian Government credit for breaking off the negotiations cf the International commission by its course regaring \u2018the Alaska boundary.His newspaper jaw dropped when Sir Wilfrid Laurier explained that the despatch contained no statement that had not already been made and discussed.Sir Henri Joly de lLottiniere, belore the Costigan issue was droped, stated that the investigations that would be made before the Public Accounts Committee, would show Sir Charles Tuüper's insinuations to be entirely foundationless, A Strange Frequency.Sir Louis Davies yesterday submitted a return of the list of United States fishing vessels not Lavirg mocus viveridi certificates, to which conisessions were granted in the Atlantic ports cË Canada, during Novemiber and December, 1898, and January and February, 1899.The report shows that in all, thirteen vessels were granted these privileges, the Department of Marine and Fisheries expressly stating that the concessions were not to be considered as precedents.In concluding his report to Sir Louis Davies, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, Mr.F.Gourdeau, Deputy Minister, says: \u2018\u2018The frequency of these requests for «concessions is more than strange.\u201d Senator Clemow Curious.In the Senate, this afternoon, Senator Clemow gave notice that he would move for a return showing full particulars of all cases entered in the Exchequer 'Court, from July lst, 1883, to May, 1839, and appeals to the Supreme or other courts.He aiso gave notice that he would move for a return showing all interest paid on claims during the same period, and ask if it was the policy of the Government to refuml the payments of interests on overdue claims.Mr.Britton\u2019s bill to amend the act re- spectinig certain works over navigable waters, was read a \u2018third time, and passed.A bill to incorporate the

affairs has been secured | from the best of authority : When the Joint High Commission adjourned it was because it had reached an apparently insurmountable obstacle in the shape of the Alaskan boundary question.After the adjournment the two Governments took up this question with a view to settling it, and thus removing it from the path cf the many other important issues involved.There were numerous de- tuys, owing to the need of exchanging views between London, Washington and Ottawa, and the authorities here became convinced that an adjustment was hopeless.But the feeling in London was more hopeful, and when Sir Julian Paunce- fote reached London on his way to The, Hague he held conferences with Lord Salisbury, which resulted in a definite proposal for settling the boundary issues and removing it as an obstacle to the work of the commission.The chief point of this proposal was that a separate tribunal of arbitration should pass on the bcundary question.It was communicated to Ambassador Choate and by him to the State Department.When the plan was received the Dresi- dent was at Hot Springs, and it was felt desirable to await his return before giving a final answer.There was little or no doubt that the answer would be favorable.Just as the acceptance was about to be given the officials here were surprised to have presented what they re- | garded as an extraordinary condition which Canada imposed in connection with the submission of the question to arbitration.This condition was that, 1n any event, Canada should have Pyramid Harbor and a strip of territory on the Lynn Canal, without reference to the general conclusions reached by the tribunal of arbitration.This port and the strip of territory on the coast would have carried also the back country leading to the interior.This condition, coming after the arbitration plan had been formally proposed and was about to be accepted, caused not only surprise, but some degree of indignation among the officials here.After canvassing the situation, the view prevailed that Canada wanted arbitration which would insure a favorable decision on her side, or else, if the decision was unfavorable, would give her rights in Pyramid Harbor and on the Linn Canal contrary to the general decision of the arbitrators.Tt was decided not to accent this condition, and a peremptory refusal Was given to the proposition.\u2018 \u2019 hus the matter stands, There is every reason to helieve that the officials here will not vield to Canada\u2019s condition Tf it is withdrawn, arhiffation may vet be arranged as a means of settling the boundary.Lhe oninion in tha highest quarters seems to he positive fhat without some such adjustment of the bourd- ary matter the : the Joint High Commission on the many other topics considered is improbable.Canada Said to Have Veto Power.New York, May 28.\u2014The London correspondent of the Tribune says: \u201cIt is now reasonably certain that the American ambassador has not succeeded in convine- ing Lord Salisbury that Canada ongirt not to have absolute veto power upon the Foreign Office in arranging the diplematie settlement of questions at issue between England and America.The scries of conferences held here between Sir Julian Pauncefote and Lord Salisoury and Mr.Choate has ended in the adoption by the Foreign Office of the Ottawa proposals and the complete arrest of negotiations for the re-assembling of the Joint High Commission.The leading English journal begs the question when it asserts that Americans do not grasp the idea of the Mother Country\u2019s relations with self-governing colonies, and that it is as much out of place to talk of Canadian opinion as the power behind the British Government as it would be to use similar language cf the opinion of any American state.\u201cCanada does not hold the same relation to the British Government as a single state to the Federal Union; Canada is a colony, free to legislate for and to govern itself, but it has also come to have exceptional power and influence over British diplomacy, which no other colony exercises.This is the plain fact, which the Times conceals when it suggests that Americans do not understand .England\u2019s relations with Canada, Australia does not control British diplomacy in the Far East, nor has the Cape Government exercised the weto power upon the Imperial poliey in Africa, nor has British Guiana taken possession of the Venezuelan boundary question as a local rather than an Imperial issue.Canada alone has the distinction of being the «self-willed power behind the Foreign Office.A Change of Feeling.\u201cEnglish journals, with the exception of the Daily Chronicle, in their comments upon the deadlock, over the Anglo- \\meri- can negotiations respecting the Clayton: Bulwer treaty, the Alaska boundary and other issues, are slow to recognize the essential truth that Canada blocks the way to the settlement of all these questions.Sir Wilfrid Laurier received an effusive welcome in the jubilee year for his services to England as a colonial imperialist who was willing to place her merchants on a favorable basis; that policy has not been taken up by other colonies, and its commercial results have not met public expectations.(ood feeling with America has taken the place of that fervor for imperialism which was conspicuous in the Jubilee year.Thig is shown on publie occasions like the dinner at the Hotel Cecil, on the Queen's Birthday, when an English audience wildly cheered Colonel l'av- lor\u2019s American specch and stood while the \u201cStar Spangled Banner\u201d resumption of work by | was played by | | the band; whereas the series of dull replies from India, Canada, Australia, South Africa and the Crown colonies Was received listlessiy.| \u2018Canadian statesmen are disappointed over tlie results of this preferential tariff scheme and jealous of the increased intlu- ence and popularity of America in the mother country, and are bent upon holding the balance of power in international negotiations, even if various vexalious questions remain unsettled.This is a phase of the present deadlock which the English press does not consider.Americans need to understand it in order to place the responsibility for the possible failure of the Anglo-American Commission where it belongs.Happily, it is premature to forecast that failure xs a foregone conclusion; public opmion here is really in favor of the settlement of all outstanding questions with America, and the two countries are on exhibition at The Hague as working together for the high ends of peace and progress.\u201d Canada\u2019s Position.New York, May 28.\u2014The London correspondent of the Times, Henry Norman says: **.\\ long pessimistic telegram by Mr.Smalley to the Times upon the Anglo- American commission produced à streng impression yesterday morning.He declares the official American view to be that Canada prefers her grievance for the purpose of Canadian party polities to a reu- sonable treaty.He represents all the concessions to have been otfered by America, and adds that the American acceptance lof the adjustment agreed on by Lord Salisbury, Sir Julian Pauncefote, and Mr.Choate was being drafted when Lord Salisbury, under Canadian pressure, re-demand- ed practically all that Canada had ever asked in the conferences.Tinaily, he pro phesies evil consequences of the present i relations between Ottawa and Londnn, as threatening to affect disastrously the relations between England and the United States.The Times gives prominence to his despatch, but treats it with veiled sarcasm.It explains that Mr.Smalley is \u201ca good American himself, whose business it is to expound American opinion.\u201d To this characterization of its distinguished corres- ; pondent, which will perhaps not be universally subscribed to on your side, the Times adds: \u201cOur correspondent has not ' the smallest doubt as to the cause of the delay: it is all the fault of the British and the Canadians\u2014especially of the Canadians.\u201d\u201d The article concludes that it will be time enough to pronounce a definite opinion on the attitude of the Canadians and the Imperial Parliament when we have their account of these transactions before us.\u201cThis precisely expresses the best opin- \u2018ion here.Nobody is ready to believe \"that we are so wholly in the wrong until the official correspondence proves this to be the case.In this connection I venture very respectiully to make a suggestion to vour authorities.It is simply this : Publish at once the whole of the correspondence and negotiations.By diplomatic etiquette any country has the right to do this after due notice to the other party to the negotiations, in order \u2018that simultaneous publication mav be made by them.This is essentially a matter in which public opinion of both countries ought to be allowed to make it- \u2018self felt.If publication showed that Mr., Smallex\u2019s account of the British-Canadian action is accurately inspired, a sharp expression of public opinion would follow here.\u201cEngland does not propose to sacrifice any Canadian rights, but quite certainly the British\u2019 people would severely disapprove of the support of Canada in any , obstructive action for merely partisan pur- \u2018poses.Your readers may remember that { Lord Salisbury conducted the Venezuelan .negotiations until the two countries were ion the verge of serious rupture,\u2018 but as | soon as the light was let in, public opin- i lon here insisted upon an immediate and equitable settlement.The same result would follow in this case.There is no information to be got out of the Foreign Office, for, during the last year or two, British foreign affairs have been con- | ducted with almost Russian secrecy and autocracy.It would he deplorable he- \"yond words if, with the grave matter of the Ciayton-Bulwer Treaty looming up, another and unnecessary misunderstanding were allowed to develop in the : dark.If the State Department will only announce its intention to publish a full account of the negotiations, with documents, on a certain date, the danger will vanish.\u201d Newfoundland Pleased.| | | St.John\u2019s, Nîld., May 28.~The an- ; nouncement of the failure of the Joint igh Commission negotiations gives general satisfaction here, because it will enable the colony to resume independent reciprocity in fishery products, which the : Americans are desirous to concede, in return for unhampered admission to the bait supply in Newfoundland waters.Tt is believed here that, in view of Canada\u2019s failure, the British Government will not object to Newfoundland

to the reports of the Queen's failing sight and the likelihood of an operation being performed on Her Majesty's eyes, says: \" Lhere has been no official denial cf the announcement made by \u2018Truth that the Queen has been advised by a specialist to consent to an operation tor the removal of a cataract from one of her eyes, and it is safe to assume that the public will not hear muen about it until it is done, for the Queen has a strong feeling distressing her subjects unnecessarily.\u201d | The London correspondent of tin Sun says: \u201cTt is nearly two years since the Sun announced on the authority of one of the Queen's principal medical attendants that Her Majesty had become almost blind.The statement was ridiculed and even semi-officially denied.There comes the melancholy confirmation to-day in the news that Dr.Pagenstecker, the eminent German oculist, will endeavor by an operation next week to restore the sight of one eye, which has been sightless for a long time.The infirmity, which is a partial organic failure of the sight, in addition to a cataract, has made the slow progress usnal in such cases, but for a long time now the Queen has been practically Je- prived of her evesight.She has been loathe to submit to an operation, and it was only decided on after a long family consideration.Tt was partly to reassure and sympathize with his grandmother that, according to trustworthy informa- | tion, the Kaiser a few days ago, made a | secret visit to London.\u201cDr.Pagenstecker, who is remaininx in England until the Queen is ready to make use of his skill, is a famous operator, who has treated Mr.Gladstone, Sir William Harcourt and many other prominent patients.The actual date of the operation has not been disclosed, but it is understood that it will be performed some time next week.\u201d HON PILES AND TO PROVE THE WONDERFUL » VIRTUES OF DR.CHASES OINTMENT The only absolute and guaranteed cure for ITCHING SKIN.and burning.MR.A.CADORET, 1269

Perspiration and language will flow freely when the valets at the inns see her coming with all that luggage.Just at this very minute, if you happen to be passing a Broad street brownstone, you will see carts and vans in front of it owerflowing with the \u201cboxes\u201d of the girl, waiting to be hauled to the station and shipped to the patieut moilers at Bar Harbor or Newport or anv other place where scalps are to be found.Just here be it said a girl's traps \u2018\u2018aren\u2019t what they used to be.\u201d Not at all.They are magnified and multiplied galore\u2014so that the old-fashioned Saratoga \u201cwould not be in it,\u201d nor would they be in the Earatoga, for the hats have swelled to such proportions that one would not find room in the tray, let alone the seven or ten required.No, decidedly, the trunk for everything, the trunk.And thereby hangs this tale.Have you seen the hat trunks?The Held hats must have one all to themselves and so must the golf goods and the gimcrackery, and the bicycle alone needs a queer-shaped thing like the top of a piano for its own special use.And then there are the shoes, and the riding habit and the saddle; it has a calf leather trunk of its own with a rest inside for the saddle to ride perfectly joltless.The girl with her one dress suit case and tiny steamer trunk, timidly venturing forth to smaller conquests will gaze with awe upon the various and sundry fittings for the wealthy person who can travel with all this luxury.The largest trunk of the \u2018set\u2019 belongs by right, of course, to the frocks themselves, which hang in rows like Bluebeard\u2019s wives, by their necks, on \u201changers\u201d for the purpose, and are warranted not to \u2018\u201c\u2019wab- ble\u201d or crush.And in these times of chiffon, think what that means! This trunk leoks like a wandering house to let, but it is, I assure you, really a trunk, though it opens sidewise and lets down all around like a cuffbox.It holds the dresses all in an upright posture, in a very elegant manner, and knows nothing of wrinkles.-\u2014 ee HERE AND THERE.Ladies now carry their handkerchiefs up their sleeve.\"This is the most striking result of the new fashionable tight dresses, which make pockets impossible.Men first began stowing their handkerchiefs up their leit sleeves in evening dress, They copied the custom from soldiers, wlio, having no pockets, devised the scheme.Thus what promises to become a universal custom originated, like many other fashions, with the Army.Women should lay up in lavender sweet memories of the dear capacious pockets that once were their treasured posses sions, for Fashion has ruthlessly snatched them all away, and it is quite unlike!lv that pockets will ever be known in real Inxuriance again.For that which has been permitted to go into disuse only gigantic efforts will bring back, and then but in a very girl must have a and everything in Much Modified Form.What receptacles of usefulness pockets were once! There are old zrandmothers who will show you great bags, worn by them beneath the skirt, detachable bags, fixed to the waist by a belt.To get at it, a A Lan D; IN S its wearer had to make a somewhat in- clerant dive beneath her dress.Jut when it was reached it was a verl- table sack, holding handkerchief, keys, a purse, letters, and any number of odds and ends.When these receptacles were crushed under by the advent of pockets formed as part and parcel of the skirt, the first blow at pockets as a whole was struck.Yet the dress pocket that succeeded was capacious, and placed in such a position that contortions were not required to get at it, nor did the gaping mouth of it invite a thieving hand.By contriving to place the pocket in about as inaccessible a place as it was pos- gible to discover, the next blow at the genus was hurled.What wrenches, what stand-up fights women had to adventure on before even the whereabouts of \u2014Cor.Richmond and Carling Streets LONDON, ONT.Geo.C.Gibbons, Q.C.Fred.F.Harper.BUCHAN, LAMOTHE & ELLIOTT ADVOCATES.ETC, CANADA LIFE BLDG.189 ST.JAMES ST.MONTREAL.FINLAYSON & GRANT Custom House Brokers, Forwarders and Warekousemen P.Muikers, Beli Tel.Main 1303 P.O.Box 424 William Reid & Son, ACCOUNTANTS AUDITORS, INVESTORS, INSURANCE BROKERS.FRED G, REID.Special Agent for Sun Fire Insurance Co.° 30 ST.JOHN STREET, à bake slowly for half an hour.Beat the whites of the eggs to a froth, with 1 tablespoon of sugar, spread this on the top of the pie, and brown it.Mrs.HLA.[A \u2014\u2014 A \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 P) Daily Bint to Bousekeepers TUESDAY\u2014MAY 30.The greatness of character which we should cultivate is independence of worldly position, aml lies wholly in spiritual stremgth, high moral principle and tender love of humanity.BRHAKTFAST\u2014Fruit.Potted Ham.Omelet, Stewed Potatoes.Egg Muffins.Coffee.DINNER\u2014Rcast Sirloin of Beef.Browned Potatoes.Asparagus on, Tcast.Lima Beans.Lettuce.Radishes, Barberry Jelly.Strawberry Shortcake.Whipped Cream.Coffee.LUNCH\u2014White bread and butter.Berries.Black Chocolate Cake.Tea.STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE, To one quart of flour add two teaspoons of baking powder and one teaspoon of salt, stît, then rub in two heaping tablespoons of butter and add two cups of milk or sufficient to make the dough roll out nicely.Roll cut the dough until one icnh thick, then put it in an ungreased pan and bake it in a moderate oven for three-quarters of an hour.Split the cake while warm, spread generously with butter and cover beth halves with strawberries and sugar.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 ; Abattoir Scheme and the Clergy.(La Semaine Neligieuse, Quebec.)
