provision is ade for increasing the penalties for per- génation, ballot-box stuffing, and tearing of ballots out of -poll-books; where bailots are spoiled that the deputy returning ofli- cer shall supply new ballots; compelling them to show the faces of ballots to the ! agents of candidates when counting them and to furnish statements of the and enacting that where a polling station is pot more than twelve miles from the returning officer, the boxes shall be handed in within five hours.Japanese Exclusion Bill.Mr.McInnes (Vancouver) asked if the report of the disallowance of certain Drit- ish Columbia legislation was true, and requested the Premier to make a statement in regard to the matter.Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2014After certain correspondence with the British Columbia Government with regard to certain legislation which was passed in 1898, concerning the exclusion of Japanese labor, we came to the conclusion that this legislation should be disallowed, and we so recommended to His Excellency.The whole correspondence on the subject will be brought down at an early date.Committees Are Too Large.Sir Hibbert Tupper asked that the Public Accounts Committee, which was to have met that morning, but was postponed to oblige the Solicitor-General, should meet next day at 10.30 instead of 11 o'clock.Mr.Foster considered that committees should not be postponed by chairmen to suit one or two members.The committee should meet and adjourn if it had nothing else to do.Mr.McMullen suggested that next ses sion chairmen of committees should try to.make an arrangement for certain committees meeting on certain days.The Premier doubted if the arrangement ould be carried out.\u2018 Sir Richard Cartwright thought that the Parliament had made the mistake of having too many members on its committees.All except the Railway_ Committee were too large, and hence members were not able to attend all the committees on which they had a right to sit.If the size of the committees were reduced \u2018the present trouble would not be experienced.Dr.Sproule insisted that members had no right to run away from Ottawa over \u201c Sunday, thus making it impossible to do any business on Monday morning.Parcel Mail to Yukon.Mr.Taylor read a letter which proved that postmasters have as little knowiedge as the public that there js no parcel post to the Yukon in the winter season.The writer stated that he had.sent three registered parcels to his son in Dawson a tew weeks ago, but they had veen urn- ed back at Victoria.Mr.Taylor asked for an explanation.The Postmaster-General explained that there was no provision for a parcol service tolyhe Yukon in the winter.Mr.Taylor\u2014Were the public advised that this was so ?The Postmaster-General replied that fu'l publicity had béen given to this fact through the press.\u201cMr.MeDougall\u2014We do not know anything about that.The Postmaster-General\u2014I cannot he'p that.| Mr.Taylor\u2014When will the season of navigation open, so +hat these parcels can \u2018be taken into Dawson ?The Postmaster-General\u2014I do not know.We now have a satisfactory contract for a service by water.1 do not think It will be open before June 15.Mr.McDougall\u2014Are we to understand from the Postmaster-General that postmasters thronghout Canada are to take newspaper information as authentic ?The Grand Trunk Lease.The House went into committee on the bill to confirm the agreement with the Grand Trunk for a lease of the line from Rosalie to Montreal, with the Victoria bridge and the Montreal terminals, as well as the Chaudiere bridge and a small section of \u2018line at that end.| Mr.Foster wanted to know what rights the Government had in the line to St.Lambert and the Montreal terminals.The Minister of Railways replied that for the ninety-nine years during which the lease would run the Government had exactly the same interest in the line as the Grand Trunk, was half-owner of it, and if the Grand Trunk got anything for the use of the line from other companies the Intercolonial got a proportion f it.Laeut.Col.McLennan (Glengarry), as a practical contractor, declared that Yamas- ka bridge, the construction of which the Minister of Railways estimated would cost $400,000, could be built for $30,000.The discussion went on for some time on the cost of the alternative line between Mantreal and Levis, when Mr.Foster poll; | | Ï | 1 } | { { | asked what reponts Mr.Blair had based his estimates on.Mr.Barr said he had quoted from the estimat of Mr.Collingwood Schreiber, the Chief Engineer of government rail- avs.Mr.Foster wanted a written report containing Mr.Schreiber\u2019s opinion._ The Premier pointed out how ridiculous it was, at this eleventh hour in the dis- on such outside matters.This led to a long discussion on the right of the Minister of Railways to bring dcwn all papers asked for.Messrs, Ber- geron, Borden, and Sproule participated, and had not done at six o'clock.Opposition Waste Time.Mr.Foster, on the House meeting at eight o'clock, pitched into the Minister of Ka:lways for not submitting a detailed statement of the estimated cost of the Yamazska bridge.Mr.Blair replied that he had no detailed :watement to give.In his hand he | deld Mr.Schreiber\u2019s memo of his esti- | mate, wivich he would retuse to lay on the table.Mr.Foster declared upon this tat there was nothing m tne memo; that Mr.Blair was deceiving the House.The debate then took a turn to another phase, a statement nade by the Minister of Railways that the new line passed through some eleven towns, some of considerable magnitude.Tie Opposition challenged the statement and asked for a list of the towns.Mr.Talbot (Bellechase) gave the information, quoting the names of the towns from St.Hyacinthe to Montreal, at all of which the Intercolonial has equal rights to set down and pick up tratlic.St.Hyacinthe, with a population of 30,000, he said, had more manufacturing industries\u2019 than any town of 50,009, one industry alone, the knitting factory, employimz 1,500 hands.Mr.Bergeron, (Beauharno:s) took exception to a number of the towns, such as St.Hilaire, Beloeil, St.Hubert, etc, being included.spirited speech in which he sketched the 1 resporous state of the country between ; Hyacinthe and Montreal and the value :» à railroad of the towns and villages asng the way.Dr.Sproule declared that the action of the Minister of Railways was an invita tion to the Senate ta throw out the bill.The talk switched back to the Yamas- ko bridge that might have been built, and went on in a desultory fashion for hour after hour.At midnight Mr.Foster asked what the Government\u2019s intentions were ir \u2018regard to.adjourning.| The Premier replied that if some progress was made the House could adjourn.Mr.Foster could not see how progress 1 | } J 1 ! ; ed.* wculd show that not so could be measured, as the committee was : not passing clause by cliuse but considering the contract as a whole.- The Opposition once more took up the task of obstruction, some of the members going off to sleep for a few hours and others ceeking refresliments down stairs.Mr.Foster with some heat again insisted that Mr.Blair should produce the report of his engineers, who were officers : of the House.Mr.Blair raid it was not a report; it wag a written memorandum accompanied by a map.The probable cost of the contract independent of the large two bridges from Ste.Rosalie to St.Lambert was $485,- 440.Probably The $485,440 was based on farm kind, and did not exceed £100 to $150 per acre.The bridge over the Yamaska would cost $300,000 and that over the Richelieu $400,000.The document from which he quoted was not in the shape or character of a public document in any sense, and therefore he did not feel called upon t lay it on the table.He had g»ren t House all the minutiae in figures and facts.He had only gross amounts as to the bridges.If he had full details he would gladly have allowed Mr.Foster to see them.The cost of the bridges was obtained from the Grand Trunk Railway, which, having built similar bridges, were in a very good position for giving an aec- curate estimate thereof.Mr.Foster charged that the minister was attempting to railroad his project through Parliament on the strength of facts which turned out not to be facts, and challenged | Hon.David the minister to produce any estimate signed by an engineer.The discussion continued on those lines for some time, until the issue was raised {\u201cpresented.that under the parliamentary rule Mr.Blair had no right to refuse the production of Jocuments which he had quoted in de- ate.Finally the deputy speaker in the chair ruled that the point was not well taken, whereupon Sir Hibbert Tupner anpealed to the Speaker.Tlgereupon Mr.Brodeur called Mr.Flint to the chair, and ascending the dais, took Ms.Flint\u2019s report of the issue as chairman of committee and ruled as speaker, supporting the decision.This procedure induced a vigorous protest from the Opposition, but in the end the appeal from Chairman Brodeur\u2019s ruling to Sneaker Brodeur\u2019s decision was maintained, on a straight party division, by a vate of 65 to 20.Then the House went again into committee wilh the prospect of an all-night sitting At three o'clock the committee arose Couley, advanced Liberal, said without having made any progress and the | the Anglo-American Canadian l'ouse ad'ourned.\u2014\u2014 eee \u2014\u2014 fae m \u2014 - MURDERER TRIES SUICIDE Ferrier Who Killed His Paramour Wwouid Rather Die by His Own Hand Than on the Gallows.Vancouver, June 7.\u2014(Speciai.)\u2014Donald l'errier, condemn-d murderer, made a determined attempt to commit suicide yesterday morning.Every indication goes to chow that he was aided in the attempt by some person unkncwn.Perrier was sentenced to be hanged for the murder of Lis former paramour, Jennie Anderson.On entering Perrier\u2019s cell at New Westminster yesterday the officials found Perrier bleeding frem a gash in the abdomen and frem anciher in the left wrist.The pris- onor's bed was covered with blood.Although he was censcious, he was unable to speak.Medical men on their arrival did all they could to arrest the flow of blood, but they decline to express an opinion as to the possibility of recovery until they can ascertain the nature of the wound in the abdomen.If it severed the intestines it will be almost certain to prove fatal.The cut in the wrist severed the main artery.Perrier is quite conscious, but is very weak, and has not spoken since he was found.West Blgin Blection Case.St.Thomas, Ont, June 7 \u2014(Special.)\u2014 The charge against Duncan Bole, of fraud in connection with the West Flgin election case came up before Squire Schleihauf at Shedden yesterday morning, but the prisoner did not put in an appearance.Bail was estreated and the cuse adiourned for one weck to Bismarck town halle - Hon.David Mills copld not | | 1 | i i | | | | } | | ! | | | | i 1 | ;

be taken as an amendment to the general act and that as such this provision would be acceptable to the companies incorporated under it.Sir Mackenzie Bowell held that provision should be made for

of State for the Colonies, Mr.Joseph Chamberlain, replying in the House of Com- mone to-day, to Sir Edward \u2018TFemperiey that before mission adjourned, proposals and counter- | proposals for the arbitration of the Alas- | kan boundary were made, but the commissioners were unable to agree respecting the tribunal and terms of reference.\"I'he negotiations, however, were still proceeding between the Governments of Gréat Britain and the United States.The members of Parliament were greatly disappointed at the lack of information, and Sir Edward Grey, Liberal, and others, propose to ask further questions on the subject.Mr.Chamberlain afterwards told a representative of the Associated Press that he had acted in the matter for the Par- Secretary for the Foreign Office, at the request of the Marquis of Salighury, adding that it was most unlikely that a public statement would be made, as the highest interests of the commission were opposed to it, and silence was tne best help in the

labor they have seeured during the time the strike was in active operation and thase who returned to work and have ve- mained faithful, they have practically all the men required for their purposes at

Cable Scheme Cheered by the British Empire League, pt THEY PASSED RESOLUTIONS \u2014\u20140_}>mb Wants Every Effort Made to Overcome Delay in Co-operation of the Mother Country, ee COLUMBIA QUESTION, prenne A BRITISH Ottawa, June 7 \u2014(Special.)\u2014A despatch received in this city late last night has given rise to new hope among the friends of the Pacific cable, who have been somewhat discouraged at the apparent coolness of (Great Britain and the evident strength of the Eastern Extension Company.The despatch referred to was a copy of the resolutions passed at a meeting of the Council of the British Empire League held in London yesterday, and it is a matter worthy of mention that Lord Salisbury and Mr.Balfour are both members of the organizaticn.This despatch, which was forwarded last night to Sir Sandford Fieming, by Lieut.- Col.R.T.Denison, of Toronto, president pf the Clanadian branch of the league, set fcrth the following resolution passed upon motion of the Hon.W.T.Reeves: \u201cThat this court notes with pleasure the action of the Australian colonies and New Zealand in offering fo guarantee an increased proportion of the cost of an all- British cable, and expresses satisfaction that the Dominion of Canada is willing to share the remaining portion with the Mcther Country.\u201cThat in view of the admitted value of the Pacific cable to the Empire and of the probably profitable results as a commercial enterprise, the committee ex presses the hope that avery effort will be made to overcome any obstacle that may delay the co-oneration of the Mother Coun- trv ir the undertaking.\u201d The Duke of Devonshire was present at the meeting, and the strong resolutions are being received with general satisfac \u2018tion by those who have heard of them, both in Great Britain and Canada.Suits British Columbia, In reply to a question by Air.Melnnes, of Vancouver, the Premier explained the nature of the Government\u2019s measure dis allowing anti-Japanese legislation of the British Columbia Legislature.The state ment was substantially what has already appeared in The Herald.Speaking to The Herald correspondent last evening, Mr TcInnes stated that the measure as submitted would not cause much complaint at the coast.The people of British Co lumbia understood the situation, and he was satisfied.Tt was a matter of satis faction that the disallowance did not affect the legislation protecting white miners in the coal mines of the Province.THOSE BRAND NEW CARS Ottawa Has a Peep at the Intercolonial\u2019s Treats for Those Who Patronize the Road, Ottawa, June 7.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Many mein- ers of Parliament, and among them most of the Down-Easters, were to be seen in the groups of citizens which hovered about the Central depot yesterday, attracted by the opportunity of inspecting the brand new Intercolonial train, which has been lving on the siding since Monday night.The visitors were well rewarded for their pains, for a more handsomely equipped train has rarely ridden the rails.A dining car with the most modern appliances, two of the easiest running of sleepers, two comfortable first-class day coaches, an immigration-encouraging colonist car, a ggage car and a postal and express car complete this up-to-date train, which is one of six which are being added to the rolling stock of the Intercolonial to meet the demands of the increased traffic resulting from the extension of the line to Montreal.Each car possesses new features which reflect the greatest credit upon the progressive management, which has shown itself eaual to the occasion, and has met a growing trade with accommodation which should ensure the continued popularity of the Intercolonial.A peculiar interest has been given to the appearance of the train in Ottawa owing to the negotiations now in progress by which it is hoped that passengers may be carried direct from llalifax to Ottawa in an Inter- colonial car.The effect of the general inspection of the coaches to-day has been to silence the report circulated in a section of the Conservative press to the effect that \"the \u201cGovernment has\u2019 been starving the line.- The management has not only supplied adequate accommodation for the trade of Eastern Canada; it has not been content until it has secured the best, that money can buy or enlightened good taste design, in order to promote the comfort dnd convenience of \u2018the patrons of the line.The train which drew forth so many ncomiums here yesterday is in charge of fr.W.K.Reynolds, press and advertising agent of the Intercolonial Railway, and will probably be started on the Mont- DANGER IN SODA.Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its Excessive Use, \u2014 pese Common soda is all right in its place and indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking and washing purposes, but it was never intended as a medicine, and people who use it as such will some day regret it.We refer to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit which thousands of people practice and one which is fraught with danger; moreover the soda only gives temporary relief and in the end the stomach trouble gets worse and worse.The soda acts as a mechanical irritant to the walls of the stomach and bowels and cases are on record where it has accumulated in the intestines, causing death bv inflammamtion or peritonitis.\"Dr.Harlandson recommends as the safest and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dyspépsia) an excellent preparation sold by druggists under the name of Stuart\u2019s Dvspep Wheat showed a little more life to-day, end at one time this morning there was a disposition to do much better.July opened 18 better than last night's close at 7518, snd after going te 757-8, went d®wn to the opening price, where it stood at 12.30.À wire to à local broker said: \u201cEuropean markets are practically bare of spring wheat, and they are liable at any time to come in as liberal buyers.This drought in Roumania and South Russia will also seriously affect the corn crop.Antwerp cables us definite news that oumania and South Russia wheat crops are already half lost.\u201d Chicago, (special.)\u2014The Trade Buletin says of wheat situation: \u201cThe supplies of flour and wheat in all positions on July Ist, 1898, were eqmal to about 42.000,000 bu.Crop of 1898 was 675,000,000 making total supplies for the cro year of 1808-4 about 717,000,000 bu.is there will be disposed of as follows: Comsumption, 375, 000.000; seed, 72,000,000; export.220,000,000; total 617,000,000 and .eave on hand in all positions on July 1st, 1889, 100,000,000 bu.Calculation now is winter wheat wield of 1899 will be about 25,000,000 and spring wheat, 275,000,000 or a total crop of 530,- 000,000.With the quantity remaining on hand on July lst.the total supply for coming crop year would be about 650,000,- 000 or 67,000,000 bu.less than the year of 1898-1809.77 Milwaukee (sperial.)\u2014A buver for a house that exports grain says: This talk about spring wheat having been seeded ur.der unfavorable conditions and having gol a bad start must come from people who have better sources of information than the grain shippers are able to obtain.We have heard from elevator men who handle the grain raised in hundieds ot counties in the wheat belt, and nine cut of ten say the crop is in promising condition.The seed was put in a l:ttle late, but it germinated well and we have had big crops in years when the plant cid rot average as well early in June as it does now.Of severe general storms, which are the kind that really damage crops, there has not been one.Ever corn, which so many reports sav iz in a bad way owing to cold, wet ground ete, is looking better than it

the long drift from the main tunnel.There were nc developments of importance during the week.Se F.McCrae, the manager of this property, is in the east conferring with the leading stockholders, and it is thought when he returns that the force will be increased and the work pushed with even more energy than at present.Deer Park\u2014The crosscut on the 300-foot level has been run for a distance of 30 feet \u2018and \"for 20 feet has been in ore.There is considerable calcite and talc in the ore.There is no sign yet of a foot wall.The management states that if there is any encouragement to warrant it, a large sum is available for development work.\u201d Sunset No.2.In the main.shaft of Sunset No.2, which is now down a little over 400 feet, the ledge has widened to seven feet of healthy-looking ore.The new vertical shaft on the No.3 ledge is down 60 feet, and is evidently very near the vein.Twenty-five men are at work.The White Bear.The workings on the White Bear have been pumped clear of water and development is now in progress.* hae Southern Belle.On the Southern Belle and Snowshoe contractors have made 76 feet in the cross-cut from the main tunnel.The Snowshoe ledge is expected to be met in about 35 feet more.It Is Denied.\u201cA London, Eng., letter states that: \u2018\u201c\u2018\u2019The- officials of the New Gold Fields of British Columbia deny that their company has purchased the Velvet Mines Limited, the Velvet on Sophie mountain, in thé Trail Creek inin- ing division.The New Gold Fields Company is largely interested in the Velvet, but it has not bought back the property, and does not intend to do so.\u201d Parry Sound District.Parry Sound gives promise of becoming a good mining district.Work is progressing well at the McGown mine, and already the company has given an order for a 10-scamp mill, and plans are being perfected for the Ore bins of a capacity The Parry Sound Star says the waters of McGown lake have been lowered about six feet by the company.A large pit, some 30 feet in diameter and 25 feet deep, has been blasted out.; The walls of the pit tairly sparkle with pea- : cock copper, while a close examination reveals native gold in spots.The ore ranges and carries a good percentage of gold.The miners are now engaged sinking a shaft, which will be put down to a depth of 50 feet, and then drifts will be run in different directions.There are other rich prospects in the district, upon which development work is in progress, the Hattie Bell being a very promising proposition.The Victory-Triumph.The final details of the transfer of the Vic- tory-Triumph to the Trail Creek Mining Company of London, are almost completed.It is said that the shgres of the Trail Creek Mining Company have been well subscribed in London, and, indeed, the company should be a popular one with investors, as in addition to the excellent showing on the Triumph east vein, it is claimed by the management | that the Velvet vein runs into the Triumph ground at a point not more than 400 feet .from the Velvet's recent discovery of an enormous ore body.\u2014Rossland Miner.The Evening Star.The Evening Star is now in a position to justify it being called a mine, says the Ross- land Miner of the 28th ult.The lower tunnel is in for a distance of 500 feet, and the upper tunnel for a distance of 350 feet.The ledge is from four to five feet in width.The ore chute is, therefore, 180 feet in depth and .i >, it i x- trio in charge, Mr.Potter, Mr.Callaghan, a sed.70 feet in length, as far as it Is © Further work, it is certain, will demonstrate that it is muen larger.The assays made by the management for the purpose of obtaining an average of the ore all over the chute reveals that it runs $25 te the ton.The intention is to sink an incline tunnel from the bottom of the lower tunnei at a point under the winze.This is to be sunk a distance of 100 feet further, and it will be practically a continuation of the winze connecting the lower with the upper tunnel.This will prove the ore body for a distance of 280 feet, and demonstrate the Evening Star to be a mine beyond the peradventure of a doubt.The surface showings at the mine are said to be immense.In places the veins near tlie surface are 20 feet in width.The ore in these gives high assays from the grass roots, and are surface signs of pay ore at depth.The ore is an arsenical iron, and principal value in gold.Two car loads of unsorted ore from the new find sent to the smelter gave returns of a little over $20 to the ton.a VICS' TOMBOLA.A List of the Prizes and the Winners

ALLEGED Trackmen\u2019s Executive Say G.T.R.Ha Not Fulfilled Promises-Made on Saturday.NO PLEDGE WAS Say the .Management\u2014The Men Again Called Out by Executive.Curious Contradictiens.[a IN A MUDDLED STATE \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u201cBroken pledges\u201d are all the talk =t the headquarters of the executive of the Brotherhood of Railway Trackmen at the St.James Hotel to-day.\u201cBroken pledges forsooth !\u201d quoth Mr.McGuigan, at his office at Point St.Charles, \u201cno pledges vere given and therefore none could be broken.\u201d The most singular feature of the present struggle is tne hopelessly contradictory versions of it put forward by the two parties to the dispute.The contradictions have been apparent throughout the whole of the short history of the confict.The Grand Trunk, it is true, have not had much to say, but whenever they have spoken their statements have been hopelessly at variance with those put forward by the brotherhood.The two difficulties explained in $5 Herald yesterday, have culminated in the strike being called oft.These difficulties were the fact of the men having to submit written applications before being allowed to resume work and the refusal of the subordinate officials ot the company in certain cases to accept the services of the strikers.Organizer Lowe who was not present at the interview between Mr.Taylor and Mr.lowell ane the Grand Trunk management on Saturday, says the understanding arrived at was that all the strikers were to resume work.Mr.Hays, on the other hana, who was present says, \u2018I was particular to have 1t understcod that 1 made no promise of any character whatever in connection with the trackmen returning to work.We are re-employing as rapidly as thet a] plications can be reconsidered, such of the old men as we \u2018have work for and whose conduct during the strike was not objectionable.In the maze of contradictions and conflicting statements onc thing only stands out clear and it is that from some cause or other the whole.affair has drifted into a wretched muddle in which the men appear to have only the haziest notion of the true position of affairs.It is true that a concise and bt%sinesslike statement of the whole case should be pre- gented to the public.Bombastic circulars full of rhapsodical nonsense are useless.\u201d Organizer Lowes gives an explanation of the object of his visit vo Ottawa on Monday last.He says a few scattered ra ports from the men began to come in asking whether they were to make a new application for their paces.As the reports began to multiply he thought that scmething was wrong asf took ve first train for Ottawa.He was unable to see Mr.Taylor but he says Mr.Powell was indignant at the course the Grand Truni wad taken in the mattev.Me expressed great surprise and concluded that some minor official had blundered.Mr.Lowe is fortified with mnch correspondence with regard to recent developments.Aniomugst it is a letter from Mr.II.A.McKenny, the secretary of the organizations at Ot- GIVEN, STRIKE tawa to the effect that the mediation ot the members of Parliament was the outcome ol a conference between Mr.\\Vain- wright, the general assistant manager ot the Grand Trunk and Mr.Taylor, M.P.The Grand Trunk emphatically deny this and point to the significant lact that the flving trip of the Conservative.members to Montreal on Saturday followed immediately upon Organizer Lowe's trip to Ottawa on Friday last.Secretary Molkenny's statement diced by Urganizer Lowe reads thus: \u201cMessrs.Powell and Taylor interviewed Mr.Hays, in Montreal, en Saturday, at our requesi, to obtain irom him the best proposition he would make looking to à settlement.This step was taken in consequence of a conference on Friday be tween Mr.Wainwright, of fue G.T.R., and Mr.Taylor, MP.The two members of Parliament reported to us that Mr.Hays bad stated to them that if the trackmen saw fit to return to work the differences between the men and the company would be negotiated immediately by Mr.Hays with two members of Parliament.They aiso reported that Mr.Hays would make mo promises as to what he would do other than this.The track- men were averse to accepting Mr.Hays proposition without first consulting our local organizations, but we finally request ed Mr.Pole, chairman of the Grand Trunk trackmen, to send out telegrams to the men to go to work this morning.Accordingly, all along the Grand Trunk system the men reported themselves for duty to-day, whereupon they were informed that all the men who had not gone to work on June 3rd would have to make a written application, and have it passed upon by the company before they would be taken on.; \u201cTelegrams came pouring in to us from all parts, some notifying us even that men had been dismissed.Among the tele grams received were the following : \u2014 Bridgeport, Ont., June 5.\u2014Foreman refuses to employ men not working June 3rd.Answer.\u201d ; Another telegram read : \u201cHave receiv: ed orders, from roadmaster, that any trackmen not on duty Saturday, June 3rd, will not be permitted fo resume work without first making personal application and being accepted for re-employment.Please reply quick.\u201d \u201cOn receipt of these messages, we saw Mr.Powell, M.P., and got him to write a telegram to Mr, Hays, which I sent.\u201d \u201cMr.Hays replied in the following telegram :\u2014 : \u201cH.A.Powell, M.P., Ottawa :\u2014 \u201cMontreal, June 5\u2014 Your message received.You will recall 1 was particular to have it understood by Mr.Taylor and yourself that I mad: no promise of any character whatever in connection with the trackmen returning to work.We are reemploying as rapidiy as their applications can be considered, such of the old men as we have work for, and whose conduct during the recent strike was not objee- tionable.You are misinformed about trackmen being refused employment un- pro- \u2018der any other circumstances.(Signed, CTIIAS.M.HAYS.\u201d Mr.P.McKenny continued : \u201cTo this telegram Mr.Powelt gave me the following repiy, to be forwarded to Mr.Hays :\u2014 \u201cChas.M.Hays, General Manager, G.T.R,, Montreal :\u2014 \u201cYour telegram received; you made no promise other than to enter into negolia- tions concerning grievances if strikers returned to work.This applied to

GEO.TAYLON.\u201d Such is the correspondence as given out by Organizer Lowe, who says he opposed the idea of mediation from the first, and believed the committee could have done better alone.Ile expresses himse! surprised at the action of the Grand Trunk, and that in future no heed will be given to verbal promises.The ar rangements would have to be in writing.The countermanding of the order to go back to work appears to have been done piecemeal.Mr.Inwe claims that few of the men are now at work.The com: pany, on the other hand, say that but few of the old hands are now out.CHINESE SMUGGLERS CAUGHT Sherbrooke is Made the Centre of Operations.A Man Now in Montreal Is Said to Be Engineering the Crossing of the Heathens.Sherbrooke, June 7.\u2014(Special.) \u2014After considerable shadowing and close watching à raid has been made on a nest of Chinesz smugglers, and as many of the malfactors as could be connected therewith are now in the clutches of the law.There are still more on whose trail a constant watch is kept, and all efforts are being employed to break up the gang and put a stop to smuggling.Sherbrooke it seems is one of the dump: ing off posts.This iias long been suspected, but no one seemed to make 1t his business to inquire into the matter, so, of course, the Chinamen continued their operations unmolested until finally they became fearless and bold.Sherbrooke being near the Lne offers excellent chances to carry out the smuggling, and the advantage is not let slip.A little contingent of these are observed about town from time to time for a few-hôurs.Then they depart no one knows or seems to care where.\"A day or two ago several United States officials guarding the border seized a rig with three Chinamen and the driver.They were making for Uncle Sam's domains and violating the Chinese immigration laws.\u2018their route is an old one, and from-all accounts has been a successful one.They would reach Coaticook either by rail or rig, and drive from there to North Strat- ford, N.H., and continue by rail to Portland and Boston.The little party now under arrest are held over at Newport, Vt., to await their arraignment before the district attorney.The smuggling plans have been arranged and executed, it is alleged, by a man formerly of Burlington, later of Coaticook, and now living in Montreal.The officials state that the last lot of Chinamen were landed at Vancouver, B.C., and were sent over the C.P.R.to Montreal, where they are taught signs and signals and a few words in English, after which they are scattered about such places as Sherbrooke, Coaticook and other bordering towns, then driven over the line by night in closed cabs when they can take the night trains.Not long ago a local Sherbrooke driver got himself into trouble.He escaped, but not till he had had several narrow escapes.The affair was hushed up, but he lost his two horses and almost new hack.after a chase of several miles.When his pursuers overtook him he jumped from his rig, struck a Nanev Hanks gait, and escaped.The officers fired two shots, but they failed to bring the fugitive to a halt.Fear ing to be caught on the train home he walked the entire distance, twenty-five miles, and has never inquired what became of his rig.GALLI DECISION HELD BACK.It Won't Be Announced for a Few Days Yet Quebec Asks for Less Noise \u2014 The Laying of Tracks on the Wharf Will Cost $8,000.The Harbor Commissioners met yesterday afternoon, Mr.Robert Mackay presiding.It was thought that a decision would be given, as to the grounding of the Gallia.However, as the commission sat In private, the result will not be known for a number of days.It is understood there are still some details of the case to be considered., The question of the extension of the G.T.R.tracks at Windmill Point was introduced.Mr.Kennedy reported that of these tracks 2,000 feet would be upon land belongin to the Harbor Board, 500 upon land in ispute between the commissioners and the G.T.K.and about 300 feet that they did not claim.The cost of building these tracks would be about $6,000.The chief engineer was instructed to proceed with the work after the necessary documents for the protection of the commis sioners\u2019 land had been drawn up.The Pilot Committee reported on a number of pilots who had left the lines by which they were first engaged, and gone to another without proper authority.The committee recommended that a resolution be passed compelling pilots who wished to retire from a company to notify the Harbor Board of their intention along with the consent of the company.Should his request be granted, he would then be placed on the tour-de-role.The report was adopted.À letter from the Quebee Harbor Commissioners was read complaining of the noises made by the whistles of Montreal vessels, and asking that masters, pilots, etc, be requested to confine their steam whistle signal when calling for pilots to actual necessity.The request was agreed to.\u2014\u2014 Chocolate Creams.If you are fond of these delicions creams give us a call.We have 30 or 40 different varieties, and can please the mos: fastidious

CASES There Are No Less Than One Hundred of the Sharks in Montreal.] \u2014\u2014 SOME AMENDMENTS SUGGESTED \u2014_\u2014 Ottawa, June 6.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Senator Dandurand\u2019s bill respecting usury was discussed at the meeting of the Banking and Commerce Committee of the Senate this morning.Hon.David Mills announced that after a conference with Senator Dandurand he had suggested that the bill De amended by reducing the maximum rate of interest from 20 to 10 per cent.per annum, on contracts, and from 10 to 6 per cent.per annum after judgment.Senator Dandurand said that it was his intention to propose another amendment to the bill providing for a fine of $1,0M for all persons making a practice of usury.Senator Dandurand, after explaining the provisions of the bill, read a number of letters and telegrams which he had re- ¢eived from Ontario and Quebec commending the provisions of the biil.Amongst them he read a letter from Mr.Heniker, solicitor in Montreal, for the Canadian DPacitic Railway Company, who has charge of all garnishments issued against the employes of the company in that city, stating that he had received garnishee orders against he employes of the Company on claims which stipuiated & rate of interest of five per cent.a week.He read another .letter from Mr.Geo.G.Foster, advocate, of Montreal, stating that an employe in the Court House in Montreal had had his salary garnisheed for & usury noie which was orignally $60, but which, with interest added, now amounted to a sum which wouid, if the man surrendered.one-fifth of his salary, take thirteen years to discharge the debt.There was also a letter from Mr.Hans- ford, barrister, of Toronto, instancing the case of a widow in that city who had borrowed from a usurer $100 on a mortgage, and had then charged $10 and costs and five per cent.a month.After two -vears she had been called on to pay the principal of $100, costs $10 and interest $120, on the original loan of $100.When he had taken this matter up rst Senate Dandurand s#id \"that he: understood that there were about, 20 usurers in the city of Montreal, but investigation since had shown him that there were over one hundred plying this business in the city.He pointed out that in 1897 the then Minister of Justice had introduced a bill in the Senate which had been passed by Parliament designed to put a stop to the practice of usury by providing that the rate of interest per annum should be clearly stated on the face of the instrument.It was thought at the time that this precaution would be a warning to unwary borrowers, and would make usurers ashamed to make the exorbitant charges possible when the rate was specified by the day, week or month.In order to show that this provision in the law had not been thus efficacious, he produced blank forms of promissory notes used by usurers in Montreal in which the interest charge of five per cent.per day or 1,825 per cent.per annum was stipu lated.This was proof that it was impossible either to shame the usurers or warn the unwary borrowers, for these note forms bad actually been used in hundreds of cases.Since introducing the bill he had found that the general consensus of opinion was that he had made the maximum rate of interest too high, and after conferring with the Minister of Justice, he had decided to propose that the maximum rate of interest that could be charged on all contracts be reduced from 20 to 10 per cent.per annum, and that the rate on amounts after judgment be reduced from 10 to 6 per cent.per annum.But he also intended to propose another amendment to this clause emponvering the courts to grant interest as high as 20 per cent.on certain short loans when in the opinion of the court the circumstances and risks of the lean warrant such a high rate of interest.Bon.David Mills said that he had suggested reducing the maximum rate of interest as stated by Senator Dandurand, because the general consensus of opinion seemed to be in favor of the reduction, and that the high rate would result in exlcrtion, especially in rural districts.Sir Mackenzie Bowell said he had a writ in his hands in which a claim for interest at 180 per cent.per annum had been allowed by the courts on a contract.He was strongly in favor of the principle of the bill, and the proposed reduction in the maximum rate of interest.Usurers shculd be crushed out of existence if at all possible.Senator Kirchoffer thought the bill was @ move in the right direction, but was ot the opinion that its provisions should be even more stringent.Senator Villeneuve was in favor of the Cramps and Colic Always relieved promptly by Dr.Fowler's Ext.of Wild Strawberry.When you are seized with an attack of Cramps or doubled up with Colic, you Want a remedy you are sure will give you relief and give it quickly, too.You don't want an untried something that May help you.You want Dr, Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry, which every one knows will positively cure Cramps and Colic quickly.Just a dose or two and you have ease.But now a word of A proof to back up these Y4 assertions, and we ta have it from Mr, John J Hawke, Coldwater, YY Ont., who writes: \u201cDr.Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry is a wonderful cure for Diarrhea, Cramps d pains in the stomach.I was a great ufferer until I gave it a trial, but now I ve perfect comfort,\u201d USURER'S DAY |: principle of the bill, but pointed out the anger of restricting the rate of interest too much.tenator Clemow suggested an amendment to the clause providing for the imprisonment of the lender in cases where the courts adjudged that there had been an cvercharge of interest, if necessary, to £ecure the return of the amount of the covercharge, by which the principal of the lcan should also be forieited.Scnator Dandurand said it was his intention to propose an amendment providing for a fine of $1,000 upon all parties convicted of professional usury.At the conclusion of the discussion, on mction of Senator Mackenzie Bowell, the bill was referred to a special committee composed of the Minister of Justice, Senators Clemow,Danddrand, Miller and Wool, to consider and frame the amendments suggested to the hill.\u2014 DEWEY SAILS FOR HOME.On Board the Olympia He Left Hong Kong.and the Band Played \u201cHalil Columbia.\u201d Hong Kong, June 6\u2014The United States cruiser Olympia, with Admiral Dewey on board, left here at four o\u2019cloci this aiter- noon.The weather was wretched.It was blowing and rairing hurd at the time of the warship\u2019s departure.While passing the British cruiser Powerful, the band of the Olympra played the Pritish National Anthem and gave a bugle salute.There was no firing.The Powerful replied with a similar salute and her band played \u201cHail Columbia.\u201d As the Olympia passed the Italian Admiral\u2019s ship the Olympia\u2019s band played the Italian National anthem and gave an admiral\u2019s salute, which compliments were returned.Then the Olympia\u2019s band played Auld Lang Syne,\u201d and the band of the Powerful played \u2018Home Sweet Home.\" Admiral Dewey is aparently anxious to avoid all demonstrations.es es Hon.W.B.« v.s6y

Anticipated by the Civilized World Aspirants in Order of Probability Are Oreglia, Parocchi, Vanutelli, Gotti, Svampa and Rampolla.London, June 5\u2014\u201cEvery one is convinced at the Vatican that the reign of Lec XIII is drawing to a close,\u201d writes a Rome correspondent.\u201cWho will be the next Pope?\u201d is the question he has set Limself to answer.\u2018he choice of the next Conclave is being anxiously anticipated ty the whole civilized world, but it is this very anxiety that makes a prediction difficult, seeing that such great political influences are silently at work to sway the vote from one candidate to another, Another difficulty is the multitude of \u201cPapabili.\u201d Every, cardinal of any prominence has claims to be considered \u2018\u2018Papa- bili,\u201d and this qualification may consequently be applied to about one-third of the Sacred College.\"The correspondent says that of this number only six have any reasonable chance under present circumstances of succeeding to the tiara.He gives them in order of probability as follows: Oreglia, Parocchi, Vannutelli, Gotti, Svampa and Rampolia.i As Cardinai tamerlengo and Dean of the Sacred Coilege Cardinal Oreglia has a great advantage over his fellow candidates.By virtue of his office he exercises the Papal authority during the \u201cinterreg- pum.\u201d Teo Xill., it may be recalled, was Camerlengo to Pius IX.Moreover, Cardinal Oreglia is the candidate of the reactionary party, the irreconcilables who at present tule in the clerical world at Rome.Another likely candidate wnose present office would give him great weigat is Cardinal Parocchi, the Pope's Viecas- General in Rome, which make- him a kind of vice-Pope.He also is of the \u201cintransigeants,\u201d all the more so because he has to make amends for youthful liberalism.\u201cHe would unite the magnificence of Leo X., the gemality of Pius IX.the learning of Leo XIII., and, if necessary, the heroism of Pius VI.\u201d Such 18 the magnificent summing up of his manifold giïts and accomplishments.Coming next to the \u201cPapabili\u201d who have come out in favor of conciliation between Vatican and Quirinal, we have Cardinal Se- rafino Vannutelli and Cardial Svampa.'Ühe former would, it is said, be the candidate of the Triple Alliance.There are, however, objections to him because his brother, Cardinal Vincenzo Vannutelli, would have the reversion of the coveted post of Secretary of State.Cardinal Svampa\u2019s candidature is curiously enough due to the fact that the prophecies of the Abhe Alalachi regarding Papal succession might apply to him, just as they apply to Cardinals Oreglfa and Gotti.The latter is the only monk among the \u201cPapabili,\u201d and is so exquisite a diplomatist that no one can tell whether he is reactionary or conciliatory in his tendencies.It is sa™l also that Leo XTIT.has jestingly referred to him as \u201cmy successor.\u201d Last.but by no means least, is Cardinal Rampollo, perhaps the most interesting personality among the candidates.His is a hold, downright nature, brooking no on- position and implacable in hatred.\u201cShould he be called on to succeed Teo XITT., it is known beforehand that the conflict between the Holy See and the House of Savoy will very quickly become acute, and that anv schemes for reconciliation will be relegated to the Greek kalends.\u201d \u2014 INTERNATIONAL TROUBLE AVERTED, The Meagher Case is Unravelled and Laid Before the House of Commons.=== NEWS FROM THE GALLERY Prince Edward Island Claims\u2014 Returns Show No Charge for Stamp Plates.nar APPLICATION OF THE PREFERENCE re Ottawa, June 7.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The international tangle arising over the arrest of Meagher on the Detroit river, and brought up in the House recently by Mr.M.K.Cowan, of South Essex, Ont., is unravelled in an interesting return brought down in the House of Commons yesterday.The evidence submitted by Mr.Cowan went to show that Meagher had been taken by force in Canadian territory on the charge of smuggling and had been taken across to the American side and brutally treated.In a memorandum submitted to the State Department at Washington on December 7th, 1893, Hon, David Mills, Minister of Justice, set forth the case as represented to him, pointing out the principle of international law involved and asking for the release of Meagher and the handing over of Avery to be tried on a charge of forcible abduction.A reply came on January 23rd, through Sir Julian Pauncefote, stating that Meagher would be discharged.This was follow- cd by a letter from Mr.John Hay, head of the United States Department of State, dated Washington, January 2lst, regretting the unfortunate case coming at à time when such a triendly feeling existed between the two countries.Mr.Hay did not agree with all the facts set forth by Hon.David Mills, and did not admit that there had been an international violation of sovercignty, and expressed thé hope that Meagher, having been discharged, the case be not pressed further, in View of the present :micable understand- mg.On February 16th Mr.Mills ex- Fressed satsfaction with the proposal of Mr.Hay, but stated that he did not want to stand in ile wav of Meacher should the latter wish to take action for false arrest.his communication was acknowledged by Mr.Hay on March 9th.Prince Edward Island Claims.À return presented in the House yesterday by Sir Louis Davies set forth at length the recent correspondence-between the represeniatives of the province of Prince Edward Island and those of the Dominion in the matter of the claims outstanding between the two Governments.The return opens with a minute of the Executive Council of P.E.I.submitted by Lieut.-Governor Howlan on December 29.1898, setling forth the claims of the province.The document is signed by Premier A.R.Warburton, Hon.J.W.Richards and Hon.H.A.Macdonald.On March 28, 1899, Sir Wilfrid Laurier submitted a reply to Hon.D.Farquharson, Premier of the province, reviewing the several claims advanced.Sir.Wilfrid pointed out that the communication between the island and the main land had been greatly improved in recent years, and that $180,000 had been appropriated for another ship to supplement the service now given by the Stanley.The Canadian Premier further pointed out that further railway facilities for P.E.I.were in pros pect.Regarding the dispute over property rights in the sea coast fisheries, he suggested the reference of a stated case to the Supreme Court for adjudication.| The question as to the refund of the annuity paid by the province to ihe widow of the late Hon.E.Whalen had been referred to the Minister of Justice for an opinion, No Charge for the Plates.The following information regarding the issue of jubilee postage stamps is included in a return brought down yesterday by Hon.A.W.Mulock, in reply to a motion made by Mr.Foster.Number of stamp plates engraved and their denominations: 1-2 cent stamp, 1 plate; 1 cent, 4 plates; 2 cents, 2 plates; 3 cents, 10 plates; 5 cents, 6 cents, 8 cents, T0 cents, 15 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, $1, 2, $3, $4, and $5 each one plate: making a total of 29 plates all told.There waa no special or exctra charge made for these plates, the cost per thousand (20c.) com- rlete of these stamps including all changes whatever.The cost of Jubilee stamps per 1.000 complete was thus, twenty cents.The number of plates enzravel for the : 2 cent Canadign Imperial stamp was twelve.There was no charge made for engraving these plates.The cost per 1,009 of this stamp complete was 45 cents.Application of the Preference.A voluminous return was presented including the correspondence with the representatives of the various foreirm governments following upon the adoption of the preferential tariff by the Canadian government.the communications indicat- inz the gradual application of the principle of recinrocal treatment to a

Partially Paralyzed\u2014 Ninth Voltigeurs to Celebrate an Anniversary.Quebec,* June 5.\u2014!Special.)\u2014Last evening quite a sensation was caused at the Palais after the storm had cleared away, when the prostrate body of an old man could be seen lying on the street.On assistance reaching him, it was at first feared that he was dead, but on examination it was found that he had been struck by lightning and that he was partly paralyzed.He was carried into a neighboring house, when he recovered his speech and said his name was Larue, and that he boarded in St.Sauveur.He stated that he was coming from Lower Town when he saw the storm come on, and that he attempted to run across the street in order to gain more shelter, whrn a sudden flash blinded his eves, and he Irnew no more.The unfortunate man was later on during the evening removed to his home.! The officers and ex-officers of the Ninth Voltigenrs at the meeting in the 341 hall last nieht, which was very fully attrndad, decided to celebrate the return ef the reciment from the Northwest in 1885 a the anniversary of its storting for the front, owing to the brigade ramn heing fived for vext month.Another meeting will he \u2018held to make ye negessarÿ\u201d ar- rarcemeants.$ Lo The Guehec Dincezan Senod ohens here this evening.and will contirne far tha remainder of the week.© 1% is said that the session will be most, interesting.© .The Methodists and Mr.Tarte.(La Patrie.) The Toronto Evening News approves the Methodist Conference * censure of Mr.Tarte.Our confrere\u2019s attitude does not surprise us, for it is a Tory organ, full of prejudice and spiteT but the attitude of the Conference cannot be justified.Here are clergymen assembled in deliberation to promote the cause of their church and who constitute themselves the adwo- cates of a handful of peonle who desire | to acknowledze neither authority nor law.The Methodist Conference takes under its protection a lot of bandits, most of whom come from Newfoundiand, and some of whom call themselves Methodists; adven- i turers who established themselves at Fox ' greund they occupy, and who persist in their intention of hunting in the domains of Mr.Menier and there committing depredations.Mr.Menier paid for the island of Anticosti in good ringing money.He is about to spend millions there on public roads, piers and havens of refuge; he will next establish important industries there; he is stimulating the march of progress and civilization.Now, has he not a right to enjoy his property like the Americans at Grand Mere and elsewhere, like the English in different parts of Canada?Capital is without distinctive odor, and if it happens that that which is at present employed in the development of Anticosti is French cavital, it has a right to be treated like other capital.There should be no question, and there is no question, of race or creed in this affair.One would be inclined to sav that certain fanatics were afraid to have French gold + axding in the development of the country.+ If Mr.Menier violated our laws, or ic nored Canadian authority, we would be | the first to recall him to a sense of duty rand to draw the attention of Parliament ; to him; but he respects order established; | he sows the seed of fortune and makes progress flourish in the great island cf the Gulf, and it is the marauders of Fox Bav who do not wish to submit to the law.If the Fox Bay bandits were Catholics we would employ the same language.Delieve us, the facts which wil! soon be broucht ,to lizht concerning the deeds of the Fox Bay colony, will cause bitter regret to the Brockvilie Conference at having meddled in this affair, and will condemn those who busy themselves in defending take up bad causes without knowing them.Molson building, closed on Saturday last!
