[" PS ing.ned > pa nd es ie 13 12 sos ci t To=morrow\u2014Local Thunderstorms, 92ND YEAR.NO, 155.MONTREAL, TUESDAY.JULY 4, 1899.BOND \"RANSACTION MANS ET BE STOPPED 16 Aldermen Demand | gp 2 % ecial Meeting of Council\u2014The Mayor Promise .Not to Sign Bonds Until Council Has Spoken.If it is within the power of the City Council to prevent the transfer of the $3,000,000 bonds sold to the Bank of Mont- treal by the Finance Committee, the loan transaction which has been so thorougniz exposed during the past few days War, IN all probability, be revoked and the bonds again placed upon the market.The g:n- eral dissatisfaction with the manner in which the loan was floated by the Finance Committee culminated to-day in a petition signed by Ald.Martineau, Sadler, Gagnon D - 1 - .> Ekers and Laporte, asking the Mayor to call a special meeting of Council for Thursday for the discussion of the loan.The Mayor was not anxious to bare the me.ting during the adsence of Ald.Rainvi'le « A Lu =» chairman of Ë nance, Ald.Ames and other prominent members of Couneil.A number of private consultations were held in tne City Hall this morning, at the conciusion or which the petition was withdrawn on the proinise of the Mayor that the bonds Ww ould not be issued until after the regular meeting of ouneil on Menday next.The Object of the Petition.The signers of the petition, in commo: with many others, adhere strongly to the opinion that the action ot the Finance Committee cannot be legal untd ralifiea by the Council.The Mayor stated in an interview given to The Herald last wees: that he considered the transaction ciosed, and that as scon as the bonds were printeu and laid before him, he would sign them without waiting for instructions or authority from Council.Ounce the bonds, with the Mayor's signature attached, were in possession of the Bank of Montreal, the Council would be powerless.With a view to obtalning an expression of opinion from Council before the Mayor dosed the last door, the aldermen whose names are given above, and who, it is believed, have the majority of the Council with them, prepared and signed the petition asking for a Council meeting on Thursday.Other signatures would have been attadhed, but the charter says that five aldermen can at any time demand a special meeitirg of Council for a specified purpose.Private Consultation\u201d To-Day.As soon as the Mayor reached his office at the Oity Hall this morning, he summoned City Attorney thier and Consulting Attorney Atwater, with wham he held FERRY SERVICE SAFE?Ald.Stevenson Demands That R.& 0.Nav.Company Make Reform.A WRITES A WARM LETTER, Mayor Says Acti.n Will be Taken at Once to Compel the Company to Live Up to Its Contract.Ald.Stevenson has taken steps to compel the R.& O.Navigation Company to give a better ferry service to and from St.Helen\u2019s Island.It appears that Ald, Stevenson took a trip to the island on Sunday, June 25th, and there witnessed a scene that caused him to write the following letter to the company : Montreal, June 27, 1899.\u201cChas.TF.Gildersleeve, Esq, R.& O.Navigation Co.: \u201cDear Sir,\u2014I am impelled, by what 1 gaw on Sunday last, to call your attention to the manner in which your company\u2019s contract with the city, re the ferry to St.Helen's Island, is being carried out.There was only one steamer, the Cultivateur, while your contract requires two on Sundays, holidays, ete.There were many thousands of people that afternoon going to or coming from the island, and it would be impossible for any- cne to describe the manner in which they were treated by your company.\u201cThe crowding, pushing, jostling, was something awful, although I must say that your shore hands did all that men could do under present arrangements.But with only one boat and so many thousands of people cooped up in your enclosures, packed like sheep, the wonder is that some were hot hurt or killed., \u2018Then the number of persons carried on the boat after four o'clock was far greater than is consistent with safety, end had the slightest panic or accident cccurred the consequences must have been fearful and disastrous.As it was, when the boat arrived at this side, about 5.45 or 5.50 p.m., it keeled over so far that the upper gangway could not be used to disembark passengers for over five minutes, and this, mind, after scores of people had left the boat, on account of overcrowding before she started from the island.I never saw anything like it in all my life.Hundreds declared that until better and safer arrangements were made they would never attempt to go to the island, or permit any of their families to do so.\u2019 \u201cThe ferry is, as you know, under the control of the Parks and Ferries Committee of the Council, and being a member of that committee, and the chairman being absent from the city, I deem it my duty to acquaint you with these facts, and to request that you will, for the balance of the season, adopt such measures as will faithfully fulfil the conditions of your contract, especially regarding the number of steamers which you have bound your company to provide, so that the ives and limbs of our citizens may not be endangered as they were last Sunday.The island is an ideal family resort, and it ought to be made very popular by furnishing frequent and safe means of access thereto.\u201cNow, my dear sir, having fulfilled my duty, I hope that steps will be taken by you which will render future complaint unnecessary.\u201cYours very truly, \" \u201cA.A.Stevenson.\u201d Ald.Stevenson also forwarded a copy of the letter to the Mayor, asking him, | ee a long conference, to which, of course, press representatives were not admitted.No announcement of the decision arrived at was made, but 1t was well understood that the Mayor was strongly averse to calling a meting, while Aid.Rainville, Ames and others were absent.lie char- ler was referred te, and it 1s said that the attorneys toid the Mayor that he had no option in the matter, and that the meeing must be called in accordance with the request of the petitioners.Meanwhile tite peitiorers had becn communicated with.Ald.Sadler and Ekers came to the City Hall personally, and were closeted with the Mayor for a few minutes.Ald.Martineaw, Laperte, and Gagnon were communicated with by telephone, end asked to consent to the withdrawal of the peition.The Mayor stated to them his obbLjectrons to a meeting on Thursday and they, in turn, explained why they vere ohposed to allowing the question to stand until.Monday.next.After the doors were opened the press representatives were told that the petition had been withdrawn, and the Mayor had \u2018given his promise that no further steps towards the issuing of the bonds would be taken until after the Council meeting on Monday next, and also that at that meeting the loan question would have precedence on the orders of the day.This arrangement was entirely satisfactory to the petitioners, whose object is to prevent, if possible, the issue of the bonds.Transaction Complete, Says the Mayor.\u201cMy own opinion,\u201d said the Mayor afterwards, \u201cis that the transaction is complete, and that Council has no power to prevent it.Of course, Council can pass any resolution they think proper.But the treasurer tells me that the money is new standing in the bank in the name of the city, and we are drawing interest on it.T see no reason to change my opin: ton, that the city is bound by the action of the Finance Committee.Others Think Otherwise.Several members of Council are stronz- ly of the opinion that sections 33¢ ani 555 of the charter make it imperative for the Finance Committee to ai (Council's ratification of their action before the transaction can be complete.Ald.Mar tineau, in an interview given to the press last week, took this ground, both as an alderman and as a lawyer.In view of the very large amount involved, he thinks the Council should prevent the sale to the Bank of Montreal at the price quoted in their tender, and throw upon the bank the onus of contesting the cage in the courts if they are so disposed.It is not at all improbable that Ald.Manr- tineau\u2019s advice will be followed by Council, in which case the bonds would again be put upon the market.in the absence of Ald.Ames, chairman of the Parks and Ferries Committee, to take action.The Mayor stated this morning that Ald.Stevenson\u2019s letter would be followed up and steps taken to compel the company to live up to their agreement, and give a safe and satisfactory service.0 HAVE NOT PERISHED.Ottawa, July 4.\u2014(Special.)\u20141t will be good news to the friends of U.I.Meek and D, M.Dalglish, who went to the Klondike, to learn that they have not perished, as was generally reported.The Seattle Post Intelligencer, of June 27th has the following: \u201cDr.J.R.Connoiiy, of \u2018Chicago; B.Wilchen,of Brooklyn; David Hopkins, D.M.Dalglish, U.P.Meek, of Ottawa: W, A.McLean, J.Orchid, and J.B.Duff, of Chicago, and A.KE.Haines, of Michigan, reached Dawson June 5.\u2018They were members of two Edmonton

i898.John Beauret, of the Hopkins party, was drowned on July 21 last, and Orchid, September 8, both in Peace River.POSITION IS NOT VACANT.Ottawa, July 4.\u2014(Special.)\u2014There came a telegram yesterday.'from Montreal announcing the death of one of the employes in the House of Commons post ofiice service.An hour afterwards the rush to Ar.Speaker began, some score of persons applying for the supposed vacant position, but late in the evening, as the other clerks of the branch were bewailing the demise of their confrere, who should walk into the office but the late lamented himself.Not until the returned clerk had divested himself of his coat and set to work at his usual vocation were the staff fully persuaded that the telegram referred to a namesake, and that the newly arrived had merely returned from a holiday jaunt and not from the great beyond.er TALK OVER AMENDMENT.Ottawa, July 4.\u2014(Special.)\u2014General Manager Hays and General Assistant Wainwright, of the Grand Trunk, had a talk last night with Sir Mackenzie Bowell and Senator l'erguson in regard to the proposal to amend the Grand Trunk agreement bill now before the Senate, so as to give the Government power to abrogate the traffic arrangement between the G.T.Rand Intercolonial upon a year\u2019s notice.So far as can be learned the senators did not commit themselves to an acceptance of this compromise.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 TRUSTED EMPLOYE DEAD.Ottawa, July 4 \u2014(Special.)\u2014Napoleon Laflamme, for twenty years a trusted employe at Rideau Hall, died last night at his residence, 110 Bolton street, after several days illness from hemorrhage of the brain.He was 53 years \u2018of age, and received the appointment at the time oi the visit of the Princess Louise to Canada.He was well liked at Government House, and during his illness was attended by, a physician sent by Lord Minto.The 2.1 neral will take place to-morrow to the Basilica and Notre Dame

St.Catherine street, were burglarized and about $500 worth of goods was stolen.There was no cue to the thieves at the time, but after a lot of hard work, Detectivie McLaughlin succeeded in finding where the gcods had been sold.Last night, Martin Dwyer, 19 years of age, a boiler maker, 340.Fullum strezt, was arrested in connection with the theft In the police court this morning he plead: ed guilty to a charge of being implicated in the burglary.The case was enlargea pending further enquiry.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 OARMELITE PRIORESS DEAD.Rev.Sister Abxina Rose Ste.Marie (nee Lanthier), prioress of the Carmelite 3 Mod NTAIN ROAD, Westmount Appoints Committee to See Street Railway.ONE FARE FROM THE CITY y Mr.D.Willlamson\u2019s Proposal to Organize a Syndicate to Construct the Road.The experiment of holding afternoon meetings of the Westmount Town Council has not so far been productive of encouraging results, and yesterday it was exactly an hour after the advertised time that a quorum was got together.This left about another hour for the transaction of business.The most interesting question boa .discussed was that which related to the project of an electric railway to give access to the more elevated sections of the town.The desirability of such a line has long been admitted, and it only remains to decide to whom to entrust the task of carrying out the work.Although some hostility to the Street Railway Company was expressed at yesterday's meeting, the feeling appeared to be that it would be in the best interests of the citizens if such arrangements could he made as would ensure transportation from any part of the city to any part of West- mount for one fare.It was ultimately decided that a sub-committee should confer with the Street Railway authorities on the subject, consideration of the proposition of Mr.D.Williamson, who would endeavor to organize a syndicate, but who desires a delav of two months for the purpose, was held over.Arlington Avenue Cession.During the hour preceding the meeting there was a good deal of informal discus sion relative to the terms on which Arlington avenue should be ceded to the town.Mr.J.Stevenson Brown, representing Mr.Milburn, an interested proprietor, pleaded strongly for a proviso that no electric or street car line should be built on the new avenue.The councillors present, Messrs.Walker, Bulmer, Light- hall and Redfern, did not appear disposed to accept Mr.Brown\u2019s offer; holding, for one thing, that no council had legal power to adopt any resolution billing upon its successors, and also that any special provision in favor of Arlington avenue would be a bad precedent, as other proprietors ceding streets would desire to make similar stipulations.Mi.Stevenson professed to having obtained from certain officers of the town assurances that his views would be met; but there seemed to have been some misunderstanding on this pcint.When the meeting was called to order, Mr.J.R.Walker, Mayor, took the chair, and the other councillors present were Messrs.J.H.Redfern, W.D.Lighthaïl, T.C.Bulmer and Alexander McIntosh.A number of items on the order paper were rapidly disposed of.A letter was read from Mr.Murray, representing the William Murray estate, withdrawing signature to the petition for arbitration re Westmount avenue extension.\u2018The number of signatures being fhus helow the legal minimum, the petition was formally reiected.The question of the Mountain Electric Railway was next reached.The secre- \\ary-treasurer read a letter from Mr.David Williamson, expressing a desire to endeavor to organize a syndicate for the construction of the line.First of all he would require exact information as to what was needed, with specifications, ete.He asked for two months wherein to organize a syndicate, prepare estimates.make surveys and perform other necessary preliminaries.Mr.Redfern said that he had had a long conversation on the subject with Mr.Wanklyn, of the Montreal Street Railway Company.There were some obstacles fo that company\u2019s making (he necessary extensions of its line, owing to the possible objection of certain parties to cede land that would be required; but Mr.Redfern had told Mr.Wanklyn, and believed, that the influence of Mr.Forget could be successfully employed to overcome such obstacles.The Mayor dwelt upon the need of prompt action in the matter, and finally a motion by Mr.McIntosh, seconded hy Mr.Lighthall, constituted Messrs.Red- fern, Bulmer and Lighthall a committee to confer with the Street Railway people, Mr.Williamson, and all interested parties, and report.DR- AMARON\u2019S CALL He May Go To St.Anne, Ill., If There is Not Better Financial Prospects For St.John\u2019s Church.The Montreal Presbytery will meet on Tuesday, July 11, at 8 pm.in Knox Church, to dispose of the call from ihe Presbyterian Church of St.Anne, Illinois, to Rev.Dr.Amaron, pastor of St.John\u2019s Church of this city.In an interview Dr.Amaron stated that he would regret very much to feel constrained to sever his connection with his congregation.Klders, managers and people were kind \u2018enough to say that the church had never been in a more prosperous condition, and that a change of pastor was undesirable.When Dr.Amaron took charge of St.John\u2019s Church, some four years ago, it wus burdened with what coufe De called a heavy debt for a missionary church.Over $8,500 has been paid off.Apart from a mortgage of $4,000, the interest of which the church must face after this year, there remains a floating debt of $1,000, supposed to be covered by a legacy of $1,000 which, however, does not seem to materialize.The creditors are becoming impatient and want their money.Dr.Amaron says he does not know where to look for this money, that it is 1v- possible for him to prepare for his pulpit work, which is exacting, and do the increasing amount of pastoral and missionary work a church of the character of St.John\u2019s requires, with any measure of sue- cess, when so much time must be given to financing.His decision on Tuesday will depend largely on the vesponse of the friends of French evangelization, and on their readiness to assist this mission church.If nothing can be done in \u2018lis direction, it looks very much as if Dr.Amaron will be lost to the work of Freuch evangelization in Canada.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ARGONAUTS AT HENLEY.They Have Made Many Friends and Will Make a Bold Bid for the Chal lenge

Prisoners.St.Jom, N.B., July 4.\u2014(Special.)\u2014De- tective Greer, criminal inspector for Cn- tario, arrived at Campbellton this forenoon, and at once visited the jail.Ie recognized the two prisoners captured last week by the sheriff as the Napanee Bank robbers, Pare and Holden, and at once gave orders to have the guards strengthened.He will leave this evening for Toronto with the prisoners.When Pare and T Holden were captured, they were supposed to be planning an attack on the Bank of Nova Scotia.It is supposed they had picked up some confederates, and the attention of the authorities was directed to the suspicious actions of a crowd of ive or six persons.Making a most careful inspection the sheriff satisfied himself that the two leaders were Pare and Holden, and at once effected their arrest.» reset PLANS WENT ASTRAY mmr Coup d'Etat of Conservatives Flashed Harmlessly in the Pan.[SRE SESSION NEAR ITS END.But Sir Charles Hibbert's Revelations Have Reacted Like a Boomerang on his Party.-\u2014 (Staff Corréspoudence of The Herald.) Ottawa, July 4\u2014The end of the session is at last in sight.Some weeks ago August would see the members back in their homes, and that there was a reasonable probability that prorogation would some

expected that the ses- pion will end by July 20th, but unless there is great expedition at the close there is a chance that the slate will not be cleared until some days later.The past week in the Commons was eventful, in that it saw the final working out and dismal failure of the Conservative coup of the session.When the House met in March the Opposition had the general election in its mind's eye.every action of the Government, and appreciating how popular Liberalism had become throughout the Dominion, the Conservative members were convinced that an appeal would be made to the country before they were again called together.They were also deluded by the Opposition press into the belief that the Government was in a state of panic, which could be turned into utter rout by a determined onslaught.Tliey proceeded to grind out volumes of election material, to their own confusion.The de- Late upon the address was protracted beyond all bounds without exposing a single point of weakness in the armor of a (Cabinet, cach member of which is a (rained parliamentarian, thoroughly acquainted with the detailed administration of his department.He Led a Forlorn Hope.To Sir Hibbert Tupper, who had promised a Government crushing revelation of maladministration, fell the honor of leading the forlorn hope.For months the ex-Minister of Justice had been gathering \u201cmaterial,\u201d by the use of agencies, which showed how little his ideas of the duty of a public man bad been influenced ty his responsible position in the late Government.Knowing how little Yukon affairs were known in the world outside, and trusting to the paucity of the information which straggled to the front from the snowbound gold region, he chose the subarctic territory as the basis of the attack which he proceeded to make with true Tupperian recklessness.Before his pyrotechnic exhibition had spent itself the weakness of his case was demonstrated.Tupper, the elder, attempted to bolster up a defence for a defenceless onslaught, but there the campaign of slander fizzled cut.The forlorn hone had proven a greater failure than the month of windy pothings hurled across the floor of the ITouse during the debate upon the address.He Returns to the Attack.Sir Hibbert excused himself, with a promise of more later, and retired to British Columbia.Forced to make some excuse for his rashness, he returned with a lengthy indictment against the Department of the Interior, an indictment the weakness of which he attempted to disguise in another mass of words.Meanwhile affairs in the Yukon had been thoroughly ventilated by men familiar with the facts and of unquestioned integrity.Again Sir Hibbert had counted without his host.Hon.Clifford Sifton\u2019s reply completely demolished the array of foun- dationless charges.The debate which followed served to expose the maliciousness of the Tupper game, and the statesmanlike administration of the Minister of the Interior.The net result is to still further weaken the Tupper leadership, and, what is perhaps more painful to Sir Hib- bert\u2019s self-esteem, to weaken his influence as a constitutional authority and to place him in an unenviable position with regard to the judiciary of the land, with whose reputation and standing he was as willing to juggle as with that of subordinate officials.Indeed, were there another well- known man in the ranks of the Opposition not already disqualified from some other cause, it is highly improbable that the Conservatives would longer tolerate the tyranny of the Tuppers.Now the end is approaching, and the i | | bound traffic \u2018Knowing the success which bad crowned .Opposition arsenal has been exhausted to no purpose.In the Commons a fight wifi be put up against the Redistribution bili, but this will not last as long as was at first imagined.The unquestioned fairness of the means by which the Government proposes to undo the work of the iniquitous Conservative gerrymanders has taken away all justification for noisy partizan cbseruction, and as such tacties have already been employed to a dangerous ex tent, the patience of the rank and file of the party

question.Speaking of the subject last night, Sir Mackenzie Bowell stated that he had entered into no agreement regarding a compromise, but as was stated yesterday, it is understood that Sir Mackenzie has no desire to thwart the principle of the bill this gession, and that he is satisfied so long as the east- is secured to the Inter- cutanial without binding the road to a prolonged arrangenient with the G.T.R.Some weeks ago The Herald expressed the opinion that the Redistribution bill would also pass the Senate, and despite the great effort being made by Sir Charles Tupper to force fie Conservatives in the Upper House to become his instruments in securing the defeat of a most proper and popular measure, there is no reason to believe that the situation has been altered in this matter.The bill will probably be warmly debated in the Senate, but it should pass.Thus will the Liberal programme be carried out substantially as submitted, and the Ciovernment\u2019s record for the session will Le sustained despite the many and ques- {ionable artifices resorted to by the Conservative leaders to foil beneficent legislation by diverting attention from the real issues before

Dreyfus Studying Documents in His Case | NOT WHAT HE EXPECTED Maitre Labori Spent Several Hours With Hig Client This Morning in Explanations.Bennes, France, July 4.\u2014Maitre La- bori paid another visit to Captain Dreyfus at ten o\u2019clock this morninz, remain- inz with him until noon.The lawyer found the prisoner to be in much better spirits than yesterday, and in the resistance Dreyfus has shown to the frizhtful blow he suffered in the judgment of the court-martial and his terrible existence on Devils Island, combined with his marvellous recuperation of physical and mentai strength since he left Cayenne, Maitre Labori saw the strongest proofs of his innocence.The counsel was almost joyful in appearance on leaving the military prison to-day, and beyond doubt his interviews with Dreyfus have given him the most favorable impression respecting the outcome of the court-martial.Dreyfus spent yesterday and this morning in studying the documents relating to the Esterhazy and Zola trials.Maitre Labor, during this morning's conference, explained to him the obscure points.Dreyfus was naturally astonished at many mn- dents, and at the attitude of various persons since his deportation.; Madame and Mathieu Dreyfus are to ; ; 5 .see the prisoner this afternoon, wnen Mai- tre Labori will again visit him.RAILWAY COMMITTEE BUSY St.Henri Applicasions Allowed to St: nd Over\u2014Toronto's Request for Grace Crossings Vigorously Opposed.Ottawa, July 4.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The Railway Committee of the Privy Council had a heuvy list of applications to consider this morning, owing to the postponements involved by the meetings of the committee and of the House.The application of the corporation of the city of St.Henri regarding the opening of (zareau strect across the tracks of the G.T.R., and that of the G.T.R.regarding the fixing of the additional expense at the crossings of the G.T.R.by the Montreal Street Railway, were allowed to stand over, as was also the application of the Kingston, Narvanee and Western Railway, now Bay of Quinte Railway, for permission to cross the C.P.R.at Tweed.A protracted discussion took place over the application of the Bedlington and Nelson Railway Company for running powers over the Crow\u2019s Nest line of the C.PR.Judge Clarke, for the C.P.R., ar- gued that the calculation of the compensation should be based upon the cost of \u2018construction to the company.Hon.Mr.Blair announced that the com- mitiee had decided to allow the B.& N.It.Company the powers asked.the rental to be raid to be $475 per year per mile for the distance of eight and one-half miles over which running rights were asked.This arrangement was to run for ten years, after which the B.& N.R.Company is to have two years\u2019 notice, should the C.P.R.decide to resume the lfull nse of the line.Mr.Gemmell, for the B.& N.Co, asked for an interim order to permit of the connection heing proceeded with, and it was agreed to have this arranged

Entries\u2014Twenty Per Cent.Increase in Receipts.Friday last, June 30th, havin, ended the fiscal year in Canada, the accounts of the public services for that period are beginning to come in.It has been a growing time in all departments, due to the marked increase in trade which, making itself apparent in the closing days of 1897, has gone uninterruptedly to the present por- lod, and promises to continue for a while yet.With a view of learning the indications of that usually rel'ab'e baremetor, the customs house returns, a rerorler this morning questioned the ccllector as to the results of the year\u2019s work.\u2018In point of business,\u201d sud Mr.White, \u201cno previous twewe months at all proach the year just ended.There have, indeed, been jperlods of larzer revenue collections, as when the sugar duatizs alone were high enough to produce a revenue of three millions at this port.but in respect of the volume of business passing through the customs house, the year 1893-9 dwaris all its predecessor:, \u201cLook at our receipts, for instance.Five years ago the total amount collected at this port was $35,£83,34y; in the two succeeding years there was some betterment; in 1897-8 we received the cons'dcrable sum of %7,207.005 in duties, and in the year just clo-d we have taken iu no less than $8,662,770.That represen's a gan of 20 per cent, or $1,455,7t0, in a single y.æ, and reflects accuralely the expansion thrë trade of the Dominion Las experienced.But these figures do not t:li the whoie story of the work of our staff.In addition to the customs revenue, we collect that of the Harbor (Commissioners, some 8250,000, the pilotage dues, ano her $80,035; sick mariner and steamboat inspection fees, $10,000, and as much more as this last figure from minor sources.So that, in ail, our take fdr the year has been upwards of $9,000,000.\u201d One-Third at Montreal.\u201cI observe,\u201d Mr.White went on to say, \u201cthat the total customs revenue £ r the whole Dominion during the year was $25.- 400,000, so that one-third of this principal source of public revenue arises irom the port of Montreal.\u201d CL \u2018What about your expenditure\u2014does it Keep pace with your revenue ?\u201d | \u201c0, quite the contiary; though 1 do not think it would be considered a ve- markable thing if the great growth of work had produced a rising expenditure.The facts, however, are these: Nearly ten years ago, 1 1860-1, dhe salaries at this port azgregated $140,621, from which {igure they were in the immedite succeeding years eut down appreciably.Thus, in 1994-5 the slaries did not exceed $130,000; mn 1867-8 they.amounted.to, $128,450, and last vear were $128,794, or practically unchanz- ed.Now, heving in mind the increase in work, as indicated by the augmented value, it seems to me a noteworthy fact {hat the business of the port has been carried on without, practically, the addition of a doliar to the cost of the service.Our contingent expenses, it is true, have ricen.Three vears ago thev amcunted to $9,154, and last year to $10,650, but theh ny- whole of this increment is attributale to the greater cost of customs cartage anising out of the larger number of pack- | ages sent to the cxamining ware house.In a word, tais is ain uncontrollable iteni of expense.l'or instunce, in 1873-45, tl.number of packages seme to the wo.house for lappraisers* examination

to apply to oct the real amount of work performed by the staff.Ten years ago the entries heic bare- Jy exceded 100,000, which was then regarded as a high figure.Five years later, in 1894, they had gone up to \"150,000, In 1893 they reached the then unprecedented total of 169,607, and in the year just closed have numbered no less than 188,883.That is to say, on the average no fewer than 615

Line of the Projected Extension of Hutchison Street.The question of the ownership of certain lots of land which will ultimately, :n all probability, form a portion of Hut- chison street, was at issue in a case decided last Friday in the Court of Review, the case being that of James 5.Thom- insolvent, and A.W.Stevenson, curd- tor, and J.Cassie Hatton, Q.C., petitioner, and the Masson estate opposants.The Court of Review, confirming the judgment of the Superior Court, dismisses tire \u2018opposition to the sale of the lots, made by the Masson estate, and decides that, at the time of Mr.Thomson's abandonment of his property, the deed of cession to the city had not been completed.In 1804 Mr.Hatton had obtained an order from a judge upon the curator of the insolvent estate of Mr.Thomson to bring to sale certain lots, some of whiclt formed a portion of a projected street known as Hutchison street.\u201cThe curator issued his warrant, and the sheriff seized the lots and advertised them for sale on August 14th, 1894.The Masson estate, proprietor of contiguous lots, cpposed the sale of lots 11 and 30, unless they were sold subject to a right of pass son, port of the fires for the mon of June.The buildings in which fires occurred are classified as follows :\u2014Dwellings, 21; banks, furniture stores, butchers\u2019 shops, tea and coffee stores, dry goods stores,

for the sum of $35,945, part cash, In 1891 Mr.Thomson sold some of the property to Mr.Burdon, and another portion to Messrs.J.and A.G.Whitley.Mr.Hatton purchased Mr.Burdon\u2019s portion subsequently, and the Masson estate, Mesers.Whitley.On the Ith of De- tober, 1893, Mr.Thomson abandoned his property.Mr.W.A.Caldwell was ap- Jointed curator, and was subsequently replaced by Mr.Stevenson.The lots now in question were advertised and sold in December, 1891.The court had to decide, first, had Mr.Hatton the right La have the lots sold onthe insolvent, Thomson ?And second, could they be sold not subject to the servitude of right of way ?The Masson estate contended that Mr.Thomson was not the owner of lots 11 and 30.having dedicated them to the city as a public street, and the city having accepted them.The court held that it had not been proved that the city was proprietor of the lots.No doubt it had exercised certain rights on these lots with the consent of Thomson, such as laying a sewer and water pipes., The Gas Company had laid its pipes.Telephone and telegraph poles had been erected, and there vas no doubt that these two lots son street, and did not differ in any T° spect In appearance irom that portion #, the street which the city had taken\u2019 off now apparently formed part of Hutchi ; ja real, pEed tly Smyih, former iy When Thomson bought the two blocks of land they were fields each surrounded by a fence.Hutchison street ran up wo within about 123 feet of Prince Arthur street, and there was a fence running across the street at that point, that 1s to say along the northwest line of subdivision lot 150 of lot 44, which wus named in the original deed to Thomson as one of the southeast boundaries wf the block on the southeast side of Prince Arthur street.The city register oË public streets showed that the city had only taken over the street up to this point, which corresponded with the southeast boundary ol subdivision lot 11 in question, and had never taken over any portion of the projected convmyation of Mraï- chison street on lots 11 and 2% now in question.- The proof showed that the sewer was laid at the demand of the Board of Ilcalth for sanitary purposes, and the regular city sidewalk stopped at 125 feet south of Prince Arthur street, lr.Nt.George refused to macadamize or to lay sidewalks in that portion of the street in question.The city did nothing on this portion but lay the drain.As Prince Arthur gtreet and a large portion of Heat- chison street belong to the uty, the gir- cumstances of erecting an electric hight pole or other poles even on the small portion of the street, as represenfed oy the lots in question, would aut furnish any ground for saying that the street belonged to the city.As to the water pipes, they were laid in private as well as in public streets, and the gas pipes were, of course, laid by the Gas Company, sometimes after notice and some- tines without notice to the city.As to the point that mno assessments had been paid on these lots in question, the proof showed that it was not customary for the city to tax streets and lanes belonging to private mdividuais when they were unfenced and thrown open to the public, and the reason ap parently was that property fronting © streets becomes much more valuable ar the city gets taxes on the increas value.In the absence of any writing sho ing that the city had taken over th lols for the purpose of a public sire and in face of the evidence of Mr.» George, the city surveyor, and other ficers of the city, who said that it} not done so, the court did not th the oprosants had made out their tension that the city was now vested these lots.f x COMIN St.George's So Taylor Church ve gt.Henri Cou St.Cunegond and Labor : sæi Methodist nels meets, Grounds, r Ar

altar of family obligation, does not regard this Beason as one of uninterrupted festivity, and is truly glad when autumn brings the folks home again and the routine of his life is once more taken up in the way that he enjoys it most.Club life and up-river Jaunts pall after awhile, and the closed- up house, with its odor of musty furniture, its shrouded pictures and general @ir of desertion, jars his feeling as would the continual greeting of some ghost.He misses all those little attentions that male home home.When he comes in at might at whatever hour pleases him thete 38 no one to greet him, and he would even find it in his heart to welcome a rebuke for his late return, the sound of even a querulous voice being infinitely pleasanter than no sound at all.He may not be the feast bit of a

and with malice aforethought neglect meal tilïme or refuse to eat a fair amount of food, but they will not take the trouble to cook dishes suitable for them.I found at least a dozen women out of the

made a beautiful and impressive one, but has also the significance which would appeal to peonle.Blne eves are said to be the weakest.Upturned eyes are typical of devotion.Wide open eyes are indicative

Brown eyes are said by oculists to be the strongest.\u2019 Small eyes are commonly supposed to indicate cunning.the downecast eye has in all ages been typical of modesty.i Lhe proper distance between the eyes is the width of one eye.People of melancholic rarely have clear blue eyes.Eyes with long, sharp corners indicate great discernment and penetration.The white of the eye showing beneath the \u2018iris is indicative of nobility of char ager.ray eyes turning green in anger or excitement are indicative of a choleric tems perament.When the upper lid covers half or more of the pupil the indication is of cool deliberation.An eye the upper lid of which passes horizontally across the pupil indicates mental ability.Unsteady eyes, rapidly jerking from side to side, are frequently indicative of an unsettled mind.It is said that the prevailing colors of eyes among patients of lunatic asyluns are brown and black.Eyes of any color with weak brows and long, concave lashes, are indicative of a weak constitution.Ives that are wide apart are said by physiognomists to indicate great intelligence and a tenacious memory.Eyes of which the whole of the iris is visible belong to erratic persens, oiten with a tendency toward insanity.Wide open, staring eyes in weak countenances indicate jealousy, bigotry, intolerance and pertinacity without firmness.lyes placed close together in the head are said to indicate pettiness of disposi tion, jealousy and a turn for fault finding.When the under arch of the upper eye- Yid is a perfect semicircle, it is indicative of goodness, but also of timidity, sometimes approaching cowardice.All men of genius are said to have eyes clear, slow moving and bright.This is the eve which indicates mental ability of some kind, it does not matter what.Blue eyes are generally considered effeminate, but this is a mistake, for blue eves are found only among Caucasian nations, and the white races rule the world.temperament THE CUISINE.Some Good Recipes Specially Prepared for The Hera1d, Corcica Soup.Put a quart of weak stock into a saucepan with half a pound of peeled potatoes, one onion, cne carrot, a turnip and a teaspoonful of mixed herbs tied in a muslin ng, Let the vegetaoles simmer until quite tender, then pass them through a sieve and return the puree to the saucepan.When it boils pour in half a pint of milk which has been smoothly mixed with one tablespoonful of flour and stir until the batter thickens.Season the soup with salt, pepper and a little grated nutmeg;

no woman can walk comfortably or well in shoes that are too small for her feet.Do not wear too small gloves.\u2019 Avoid tight lacing, and all forms of dressing which compress the organs of the body.Daily Bints to Housekeepers ;

in fact, it would be liable to sink her.The Siddartha was bound from Jagle sonville, January 16th, for Liverpool, # Th a cargo of lumber, when she was abandoned February 22nd in latitude 39 north, longitude 30 west.It will be seen from this that the vessel has drifted considerably since she was abandoned.So often has the derelict been reported by important transatlantic liners that the British Government decided finally to send two of its craft to clear it from the ocean.thin slices of hot buttered \\ DENNISON, Photographer and Engrayer, 2264 St.Catherine Street, Now open at MARTIN'S Old Studio, Cor.ST.PETER and CRAIG STS., as a Branch.in a few days.SCOTTISH UNION National Insurance Co.of Edinburgh ESTABLISHED 1824.Total ASSEtS.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.$44,222,472 83 Invested Funds.raccuse .23,965,472 83 invested in Canada .2,035,940 86 MONTREAI.OFFICE\u2014 {7 ST.FRANCOIS XRVIER STREET WALTER KAVANAGH, Chief Agent.$500,000 to loan at Reasonable Rates \u2018 Office Supplies.No house in Montreal is better equipped with office supplies of all kinds, stationery, etc.Printing, Bookbinding, Ruling, Embossing, Reliefs, etc.,, quickly and cheaply executed., JOSEPH FORTIER, 254 ST.JAMES STREET.;
