YEAR.NO.179.MONTREAL, TUESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1899.PRICE ONE CENT.TO LORD MINTO- XK TO SIR WILFRID 4%; An O1\u201c * 2% » ntrealer Carries an Important Invitation GB .from Let, vo to His Excellency, the Premier, vabinet and Ladies.Mr.F.W.Fitzpatrick, the Deputy United States Architect of Public Buildings, of Chicago, was in the city yesterday on his way from Washington to Ottawa, to there make arrangements for the date and reception of the committee of citizens from Chicago that is soon to present the formal invitation to Lord Minto, Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Cabinet to visit that city and attend the laying of the corner-stone of its new magnificent post-office building on October 9 next.This building, that will house all the Federal offices in Chicago, is to be one of the greatest structures Uncle Sam has ever erected.Tt will rival the famed Congres sional Library in splendor, and will far out-class it in size.It is 400 by 300 feet square for three storeys, the balance of its height it is cross-shaped, and the juncture of the arms is surmounted hy a dome 100 feet in diameter and 300 feet high.It is steel-framed in construction, a feat in engineering, some of the piers extending down a hundred feet into Chicago's mushy soil.The walls are to be of grey granite, cach story carried upon steel girders and columns, a form of skeleton construction that has not before even been attempted; that Is, a monolithic granite casing upon steel- framing, some of the huge granite columns welghing over eighty-six tons each, and all these and the great projecting cornices of seven feet and over being supported by an apparently spindly net-work of steel.The steel framing is now up to the fourth of the sixteen storeys of the dome.The building will cost $4,000,000; there will be $1.500,000 worth of granite used, or over H00,000 cubic feet\u2014the largest single contract ever let; 19,000,000 pounds of steel enter into its construction, and over &1i,- 000,000 of marble will be used in its interior.It Will he Chicago Dav.The citizens of Chicago, who never do things by halves\u2014as was demonstrated by the World's Fair, if nothing else ever did\u2014 have asked the Federal Government at Washington to allow them to take the laying of the corner-stone in their own hands.Permission having been obtained through the chief architect, Mr.Henry Ives Cobb, a committee of citizens was organized, with the postmaster, Mr.C.M.Gordon, as chairman.The day selected, \u2018Chicago day,\u201d the Oth of October, is the twenty-cighth anniversary of the great fire of \u201871 that razed Chicago to the ground.Most elaborate preparations are being made for the ceremony.It will be a three-days\u2019 carnival, and several hundred thousand dollars will be expended in the entertainment of the city's guests alone.The President has already accepted the invitation to preside at the ceremony, and Secretary of the Treasury Gage will offoi- ate as master of ceremonies; the Cabinct, Senate, House and judiciary will attend as bodies, the Governors and their staffs of the several States will be there, and the Legislatures of the adjoining States will be present; so also will be most of the diplomats and foreign consuls.The President of Mexico has signified his Intention of accepting the formal lnvita- tion that will be presented by a committee that will be introduced to Lim, through the ordinary State Department channels, on August 5, and arrangements have been made for his entertainment upon a most elaborate scale.A special train will be made up for him at his capital that will convey him and his party\u2014Cabinet officers, their wives, attaches, etc\u2014to Chicago.Splendid suites of rooms at the hotels are being specially prepared for him, and after the banquet that the city will give its guests on the evening of the Oth, that sume train will convey him on a tour of insyee- tion and social visits to the principal cities of the United States, that will last over two weeks.In spite of the little frictions that have occurred between our two countries, the Americans have always expressed the kindliest feelings for Canadians \u2014 socially, at least\u2014and now the people of Chicago desire to bury all the little political hatchets and, for that day anyway, clasp hands in the heartiest manner with their neighbors on the north.Through Mr.Fitzpatrick, Sir Wilfrid has already Deen asked infor- wally to consider an invitation.Mr.Fitzpatrick ts exceedingly anxious that His Excellency and Sir Wilfrid will set an early date for the reception of the committee, and promise a favorable consld- cration of the invitation, so as to allow him ample time to make suitable arrange- ments\u2014that lhe promises will surpass anything that Has been done before in that line\u2014for the transportation and entertainment of the distinguished gucsts of Chicago he hopes to later escort from Ottawa.He takes a personal, as well as official, interest in the matter, being an old Montreal boy.He was born here In 18635, educated here, and assisted Architect Thomas in the erection of the Canadian Pacific Railway workshops at Hoclielaga in 1882, after which he, like Major Gircuard, sought and found distinction in other lands.In the civil service he holds the same grade as a lieutenant-colonel in the military service, is highly respected in Washington, and either alone or in association with other architects has had and actually takes care of, outside of his official duties, a splendid private practice.Some of the finest buildings in the United States attesting his skill as an architect and engineer.Mr.Vitapatriek married Miss Agnes Lanctot in 1853, the eldest daughter of Mederic Lanctot, the old-time Liberal leader and former law partner of Sir Wilfrid Laurier.He is a cousin of Sir Charles Fitzpatrick, and is also related to Senator Raoul Dandurand.In speaking of him to-day, Mr.Wm.Walker, of Lachine, an old-time friend of hix, said that \u201clitzpatrick had developea into an all-round expert,-a splendid engineer, an artist of the highest order, a literary crank, an athlete, and is now giving his attention to the raising of nine as Lealthy little Canucks as can be found in the States.\u201d .Seldom a month passes that his name is not scen as author and illustrator of some article in one of the leading magazines.The August number of the Arena contains a sample, a rather enthusiastic description and history of the Liberal party in Canada, extolling Sir Wilfrid and the other leaders, gomething with which we cannot agree with in principle, yet we must admit 1s a splendid literary and artistic work.The Invitations, Besides the planning of the festivities and arrangements, all the splendid invitations to this ceremony have been designed and executed by Mr.Fitzpatrick, too.He showed me a photograph of the one he had just completed for Lord Minto.A rich purple velvet cover, upon which is clasped the Minto arms and monogram in enamel and gold, is lined with a delicate moire white satin; inside of this is the invitation that Mr.Fitzpatrick has engrossed and illuminated most delicately.the top is a dainty water-color of the building, and the initial letter of the Minto title surrounds @ miniature of His Excel lency himself.The wording reads : \u2018The citizens of Chicago request the honor of your presence at the ceremony of the lay ing of the corner-stone of the United States Federal building in their city by the I'resident, Monday, October 9th (Chicago Day), 1899.\u201d It is signed by Governor Tanner, nf Illinois, Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, Post master Gordon, and two hundred of the principal citizens of Chicago.It Dears the great seals of Illinois and of Chicago, is bound with the natiopal ribbons, and the cover, in book form, Is fastened together with an English gencral\u2019s sword-knot; altogether one of the handsomest invitations ever secn in this country.Sir Wilfrid's Is only a trifle less gor geous, bears a splendid miniature portrait of lLimself\u2014Mr.Fitzpatrick made it and the frontispiece of his Arena article from the same photograph, taken by Bruce, of London\u2014and is fittingly bound in red satin.The committee will also formally invite the Countess of Minto and Lady Laurier, the Cabinet officers and their ladies and friends, and Mr.Fitzpatrick hopes to take a train of four or six cars of representative Canadians to Chicago as the guests of that city for at least the week of October oth.BADLY HURT IN RUNAWAY Miss Pillon, Living near

Lying Has Infected the Organs of All Political Parties.FROM NEGRIER EPISODE Alleged Seditious Language Was But the Expression of the 0)inion of a Brilliant Leader, GEN.DE GALLIFET'S IRON HAND Paris, July 30.\u2014The political barometer is falling, and the atmosphere of the boulevards \u2018is once again recharged with electricity.The same elements that caused the Boulanger cyclone are gathering in consistency and threaten to form a new storm centre of perhaps equal intensity.The Nationalists, Anti-Semitics and the Clerical Reaction, adopting former Boulanger tactics, are striving tooth and nail to unite against the present regime all the available factors of discontent and disorder.The Judets, the Rocheforts, the Mille- voyes and the Drumonts are making supreme appeals to the Chauvinism of the masses by ignoring or distorting the facts bearing upon the Dreyfus case as established by the full bench of the Court of Cassation.By a sort of counter-irritant method these apostles of revolution are diverting the public mind from the strict legal issues into which the.fortheoming trial at Rennes has been resolved By the unanimous decision of thirty-seven judges, composing the highest tribunal of the nation, Epidemic of Lying.Never before has there been such an epidemic of heroic lying.The Petit Journal docs not hesitate to proelalm in a flaming leader that it is the German Emperor who Is compelling the Cabinet to order the Rennes court martial to acquit Dreyfus, and that Gallifet's removal of Gen.Negrier is \u2018\u2018a preliminary victory won by the German army on the eastern frontier of France.\u201d Meanwhile, several of the most violent Dreyfus organs seem also to Lave lost their heads, and shower indiscriihinate abuse upon the army, which is at once taken advantage of by the reactionary press to endeavor to disseminate disloyalty and dissatisfaction among officers and soldiers, the policy of the enemies of the Republic now being to prevent the masses from cunsid- ering the Dreyfus trial in its purely legal aspects, and to raise new Issues based upon political passion and pseudo-patriotism.Punishment of Negrier.Outside of France It does not yet seem to be understood that not one of the score of dramatic sensations that have characterized the Dreyfus affair during five years has made such a deep impression on the public mind as the punishment of Gen.Negrier.This time it Is not a mere bit of melodrama enacted by a curbstone politician like Deroulede, or a brigadier at the head of a couple of line regiments, like Gen.Roget, but punishment for an act of Insubordination is inflicted upon the commander of an army composed of four army corps, occupying the lines of defence of the eastern frontier, destined to meet the first shock of the enemy In time of war.Nelther the Government nor the public ean close its eyes to the fact that the seditious language attributed to Gen.Negrier is merely an expression of the opinion held by some of the most brilliant army leaders.Gen.Ne- grler hus received over two thousaud visit- | ing cards and a thousand complimentary letters, and shouts of \u2018Vive Negrier!\" resounded yesterday at the review of the Garde Republicaine at the Champs Elysee.It is the custom for tue Supreme Council of War tq assemble on the first Thursday of cach month, consequently on August 3 Gen.de Gallifet, in Lis capacity as Minister of War, will preside at this council, the members of which are Gen.Jamont, commander-in-chief of the French army, and Gens.Herve, Giovannelli, Pierron, Bru- gere, Zurlinden, Zede and Duchesne.The vacancy caused by the removal of Gen.Negrier is not yet filled, and it is already whispered that further disciplinary mea- gures are likely to follow.Many prominent officers belong to families imbued with heredith hatred of the Republic, and the discontented element is undoubtedly strong.Gallifet has incurred its fury, but, barring these would-be Praetorians, the ranf\u201d and file of the army is Republican to the core.Gallifet the Man.Gallifet to-day is the only man in France who can keep the generals in order.It may be accepted in the United States as a foregone conclusion that he will not shrink from employing any measure to do so.An incident at the review of the Garde Republicaine yesterday illustrates the ferocity which a Parisian mob {s'gecasionally capable of.During the march past a few gamins recognized Adjt.Buxain, who In 1894 executed that portion of the sentence requiring the degradation of Dreyfus by stripping him of the Insignia of his rank, breaking his sword, etc.Shouts of \u2018Vive Buxain!\u201d\u2019 and *A bas le traitre!\u201d were heard, but the majority of those present refused to take part in this brutal demonstration, more painful to Adjt.Buxain than to anyone else.\u201cin order HARVESTS IN EUROPE Satisfactory Reports from England ahd the Continent with Improved Prospects in Russia.London, July 30.\u2014The propitious weather experienced has had a marked effect upon the corn flelds.Wheat has ripened In England very rapidly, while in a few dais- tricts in the south the harvest has already begun.With

crop comes out at not more than 110,000,000 hectolitres.French holders of wheat have been showing less eagerness to effect sales.IT WAS ACCIDENTAL.u Decides That John Farley, To ation, Did Not Meet With Foul Play.An inquest was held at the morgue Yyes- terday into the death of John Farley, late seamen of the steamship Turret Chief, who disappeared on the night of July 17th, and whose body was found on the 21st in the canal at the back of the Dominion Ccal Company's wharf.: Marks were found on the body, and it was at first thought that he had been the vietim of foul play.It was shown, bow- ever, that no quarrel had taken place on the ship on the night of the disappearance, and the sailor's clothing did not show marks of a quarrel.Mr.Robert MeGraham, the night watchman deposed that he had not heard any nolse on that night.IIe had rot seen Farley come aboard, and it was probable that he had fallen into the water from the quay.I\".Berglund, ship carpenter, corroborated the evidence of the previous witness.Hn had not heard any quarrel on the night of July 17th.The jury after a few moments delitera- tion returned a verdict of accidenaal death.NEARLY ADEATH AN HOUR One Village in

Cumberland streets, was entered by burglars, who were evidently out for the cash alone, as none of the articles in stock were tampered with.The marauders were, however, poorly repaid for their

RE-OPENER Trackmen's Executive Again at Headquarters Claiming That Grand Trunk Ignores Agreement.THE TEN CENTS ADVANCE Offered the Men on the Main Lines an Apple of Discord in the Brotherhood.ENGINEERS AND FIREMEN SETTLE ee The difficulty between the Grand Trunk Railway Company and the tracimen is not yet settled.The executive conunittee of the Brotherhood of Trackmen have returned from their homes and are now in session at their old headquarters in the St.James Motel, where they directed the strike some two months ago.The terms upon which the recent strike have been settled are a source of dirappointment, vexation and frritation.Mr.William Pole, the chairman of the committee, has issued a circular in which he set forth the result of the interview witli Mr.Hays, the general manager, in which it is explained that the company, while consenting to an increase in the wages of the trackmen on the main line west of Toronto, refused to concede a similar increase on the main line in the eastern division and on the branches.The men, says Mr.Pole, regard the advance of ten cents a day on the main lines west of Toronto as an attempt to create a division in their ranks.In declin- Ing to make the increase uniform Mr.Hays pointed out that the freight on these main lines is heavier than on the others and on the branches, and hence the wear and tear on the track is greater, but Mr.Pole states that this difference in the west is equalized | by the shortening of the sections at the points where the traffic is heaviest.There is a strong disposition among the men to insist upon a general advance, and should this be refused there may be another strike.The Government Vigilant.The latest phase of the dispute has been brought under the notice of the Government at Ottawa.It will be remembered that when tle difficulty between the management and the trackmen was at its height Mr.James Sutherland, at the request of the Prime Minister, undertook the delicate task of mediating between the parties, and Le managed the difficult duty so skilfully that the basis of a settlement which, having ra gard to the highly antagonistic attitude assumed by the two parties, had been well nigh despaired of, Was arrived at.The understanding was that the men should ge back to work at once and that within thirty days the general manager should meet the trackmen\u2019s representatives and discuss the differences existing.In the meantime any man who was refused his old position was to hâve the right of appealing to the general manager.The Premier %as now been informed by the members of the Trackmen\u2019s executive that although the thirty days provided for have expired Mr.Hars manifested an indisposition to meet the representatives of the men, pointing out as a reason for his non-com- plinnce with a request to that effect the fact that the trackmen on the main lines had their wages raised.Dissatisfaction on Branch Lines.The greatest dissatisfaction prevails among the men on the branch lines, whase demands for additional remuneration have been unceremoniously rejected.They have sent numerous protests to the chairman and secretary of the Executive Committee, and demand that the compact with regard to the conference with Mr.Hays shall De carried out so far as the men on the main main lines are concerned, they have got the increase in wages.But they have other complaints.They want Mr.Hays to recognize tlie organization, a thing he has not done at any stage of the negotiations.They furthermore demand that they shall not be peremptorily transferred from one section to another, and that they shall be paid for working overtime.Mr.Sutherland has again been in Montreal for the purpose of interviewing Mr.Hays and of using his good offices to prevent the reopening of a breach which it was hoped had been closed.Mr.Sutherland was authorized by the Premier to say that the Government sincerely hoped there would be no recrudescence of the difficulty.Engineers and Firemen.The committee representing the Brotherhoods of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen on the Grand Trunk Railway, who have been in conference for a number of weeks with the officials in the motive power department at Point St.Charles with regard to the various subjects in dispute between the company and this branch of their empioyes, have at last concluded their labors.Mr.P.M.Arthur, of Cleveland, Ohio, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Lecomotive Engineers, and Mr.F.DP.Sergeant, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen.are in the city, and have been in conference with Mr.Cameron, the chairman of the Engineers and Firemen's Grievance Committee, and they have expressed their concurrence in the agreement arrived at between the company and the committee\u2014an agreement which is regarded as a satisfactory adjust: ment of the grievances of which the men complained.The result of the conferences with the company has been a new schedule of wages and new regulations as regards work.and these are pronounced as satisfactory to all concerned.The new scale will come into operation forthwith, si USE il \u2018TO DISCONTINUE OF INCENSE &

of the City Police and Detective Forces, Cannot be Found.A communication has been received at the City Detective Department from Chief of Police Smith, of Burlington, Vt., requesting information regarding the whereabouts of John Fuller, of that place, who was once a member of the city police force, and who is thought to be in Montreal.Fuller disappeared from his home, Champlain street, Burlington, on Friday, and he has not been seen since.He had been in fll-health of late and had become despondent.It is said he frequently expressed a wish to do away with himself, and on that account it is feared that he may have drowned himself in Lake Champlain.Some hope is entertained, however, that he came here to look for work, and efforts will be made to locate him.A MYSTERY CLEARED.A Man

THREE NATIONS German Emperor Said to Desire a Con~ tinental Alliance Against Great Britain, America and Russia.London, July 30.\u2014The National Review, tn an article discussing the probability of an alliance between France and Germany against England, has reached the conclusion that such a move is within the bounds of practical politics.The writer points out that Germany's future expansion must be colonial, and that France has similar interests.In this respect both France aud Germany are somewhat barred by England's widespread holdings.The common belief that England is the enemy of every power with eolonial or maritime ambitions, the writer asserts, supplies both Frenchmen and Germans with an argument in support of union.Emperor William, it is urged, is acting upon the supposition that, much as France dislikes Germany, she must dislike England more, after the Fashoda incident.The 1im- peror dreams of forming a coalition of cen tral and western powers of the Continent, to be used, first, against England; secondly, against the United States, aud finaily, against Russia, though at the commeuce- ment the latter power will be included In the German

behalf of charity in Londen during the past fortnight, and the sums of money realized at and in connection with them astonished me.The one in aid of St.Marr's Hospital, in which some energetic Americans were interested, and where there was an American stall, realized $110,000, while another for the help of the Charing Cross Hospital, in which royalty figured, raised $70,000.Part of this money was raised In a way I think we have not yet adopted \u2014a way that adds new terror to that already frightful institution\u2014the charity fair.Because there are many persons who do not belleve in fairs and many more who Know too much to be caught visiting them, the London folk send both circulars and visitors from house to house in search of contributions.An American lady told me of a still more unlooked-for exhibition of enterprise at one of these bazaars.It was A plece of private enterprise on the part of her dressmaker, who is a Frenchwoman.This ingenious artist read the names of the duchesses and countesses and lady swells of mnay sorts who were to attend the fair on behalf of the Charing Cross Hospitai, so to the pavement in front of the fair building she repaired, with a small camera.When the ladies filed out she snapped her instrument at each one who Was smartly dressed, and especially at each one who obviously wore a gown of Paris make.When her plates were printed she invited her customers to call and see the pictures\u2014greatly eniarged\u2014which she had gathered of all the newest and most stunning frocks in London.Her English customers easily recognized the faces of the great ladies in the photographs, and the dressmaker got orders for coples of nearly all the gowns, .HERE AND THERE.\u201cIn preparing for the summer holiday do not forget the rainy days

barrels of flour, and the bric-a-brae, pictures, aud furniture with various dry-goods and groceries.By the time I had learned all this I Lad determined to see if Eph did not own something which was

p.m., for home.Doyle and Kehoe were fighting, while at North Sydney.Immediately after the boat left with the three men, the fight between Doyle and Kehoe again started, and soon Doth men were in a rough-and-tumble fight.Within a short distance of home the men, who were then locked in each other's arms, fell overboard.Strange to sity the men, when falling out of the hoat, newer let go their

practice\u2014all too com- mon\u2014of condoning the crimes of per- gons who have money enough to make restitution.Nothing could be more fatal to the well-being of the community than the conviction on the part of the poorer classes that the law is not for all alike, but that there is one law for the rich and another for the poor.Yet such conviction, if entertained today, would not be without reason, and if we have many more exhibitions of defaulting bank clerks escaping the just penalty of their crimes through the instrumentality of influential friends or the payment of money, the conviction will become deep-rooted.Canadian law must be equal There must not be \u2018\u2018one law for the Jew and another for the Gentile.\u201d name, THE CANADIAN PARLIAMENT AND THE TRANSVAAL QUESTION.Yesterday\u2019s debate in the Canadian House of Commons and the resolution of sympathy with the Uitlanders in the Transvaal, couched in terms that are at once broad, Uberal and patriotic, must be exceedingly gratifying to Her Majesty's ministers, and cannot fail to strengthen their hands in dealing with the exceedingly difficult and troublesome position of affairs in South Africa.Expressions of opinion of an authoritative character upon the Transvaal issue have already been received from Australian and other parts of the British Empire, but it is no exaggeration to say that no assurance of moral support will have the weight that attaches to the unanimous pronouncement of the Parliament of Canhda.The wise, eloquent and temperate language in which the Prime Minister commended the resolution to the House gives an emphasis and value to the expression of Ca- padian opinion that will, no doubt, be fully appreciated.No one can fail to agree with the Premier that the development of the British Empire has reached a condition ana degree of consolidation so that no part of it ean affect to be indifferent to 2nything that may be going on in any otcer part.In addition to that, Canada, a# a country that is rich in- the potentialities of mineral wealth, and keen and vigorous in the development of her mineral resources, is far from indifferent to the condition of things in the South African Republic, where the miners who are instrumental in building up the prosperity of the country are debarred from the common rights of citlzen- ship.It is interesting to contrast Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2019s statesmanlike utrerance on the subject with the tortuous and canting phrases used by President Kruger in his last big speech In the Volksraad on the 15th of July, According to the report of that speech, cabled through Reuter\u2019's agency, Mr.Kruger admitted that he was the first in 1800 to make the franchise as stringent and narrow as possible, because by so doing he kept in view the independence of the state, being afraid that the old population would be swamped.At that time the EKe- public scarcely counted 10,000 burghers, and he had to keep others away, no matter how many good ones there might be among them, as otherwise they would have out: voted the old burghers.The 10,000 had how increased to about 30,000.Why then should they remain so strict now?They could now give a little, and even before the present controversy commenced he en- fleavored to get through his then fixed plaa as set forth at the meetings at Heidelberg, Rustenburg, and Johannesburg.The president went on to say that he had always considered the independence of the state safeguarded against cvery alien, and had thereupon proposed nine years instedd of fourteen.Sir Alfred Milner at the Bloemfontein conference wanted too great a reduction of the number of years\u2019 residence required before the franchise could be ob: tained, to which he had not been able to agree because of the danger of buing oat- voted.Later on the president declared himself to be in favor of seven years\u2014for the sake of honesty .and righteousness.Mr.Kruger candidly admitted as regards the Independence of the country that so long as they acted fairly and honestiy it would not be endangered.The Republic would secure Its independence by actiug of îts own accord in an honest and righteous spirit.This peculiar argument is met almost as If by anticipation by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who sweeps away the sophistry thus: At first blush it may be said, and perhaps with some reason, that if the people of the Transvaal had chosen to refuse the rights of citizenship to any but their own race, they were within thelr own rights; that to nations as well as to men the old saying applies that every man's house is bis castle.That would apply if Mr.Kruger had not allowed the Uitlanders to go into his territory to found and build citles, develop the country, and if he had not (aken their money and filled his treasury with it.But having allowed the Uitlanders to go Into the country, and become residents, the least that would be expected by those who took up their abode thereln was-that having assumed the duties of citi- tenship, they should be given the rights.* As for Mr.Kruger\u2019s proposals even in their latest amended form the British Government hold that they do not constitute even a Tfalr instalment of reform.They may, however, be welcomed as an approach to the just demands made by Sir Alfred Milner, and an indication that the rest will be substantially obtained as an earnest of future reform, such as the Secretary of State for the Colonies spoke of in his recent Eir- mingham speech.The Imperial Government are, however, in duty bound not to relax the efforts, moral and material, which have been thus far successful until the essential conditions of Sir Alfred Milner's scheme have been fulfilled.To insist upon the fulfillment of these is clearly the duty of the Imperial Government.and In this they will be materially helped by the resolution passed by the Canadian I\u2019arllament.As Sir Wilfrid Laurier felicitously said yesterday, \u201cIf there ts any country in the world it is tbis country of ours\u2014Canadu\u2014 where we can proclaim this principle that wherever men of différent races, but races of equal rank are found, who live together under the same government, the only policy which can give adequate justice to all, which can give satisfaction to all\u2014a policy which will give every citizen without any question of birth the same rights, the same liberties, the same privileges, the same aspirations.\u201d This is something that I'resident Kruger has never realized.Sir Alfred Milner never went quite so far as to ask for this, although, unquestionably, it ia what ought to be conceded.Even as re gards what Mr.Kruger says he Is willing to give there is no certainty that his promises will be given effect to.The Volks- raad, although it endorsed the president's scheme, \u2018still retained a number of condl- tions which might be so interpreted as to preclude those otherwise qualified from acquiring the franchise.\u201d Those vexatious conditions, as they have been called, may be used, says Mr.Chamberlain, \u201cto take away with one hand what has been given by the other.\u201d We sincerely hope not.It is satisfactory to observe from the recent despatches that the British nation is now of one way of thinking as far as the Transvaal is concerned.The criticism which began to manifest itself in certain quarters, has now ceased, and the Govera- ment have made it certain that they are a» firm as ever in support of Sir Alfred Mil-, ner's Bloemfontein policy.\u2018Her Majesty's Government,\u201d says Lord Salisbury, \u2018\u2018have put their hands to the plough and will not turn back.\u201d \u2018We have come to the conclusion,\u2019 observes Mr.Chamberlain, \u2018that the grievances of the Uitlanders are substantial, and the situation is a matter of Imperial concern.We have taken up thelr case, and we are bound to see it through.™ ee THE JACQUES CARTIER BANK.The suspension of the Jacques Cartier Bank will bring anxiety to many homes and cause very considerable embarrassment to many business men.Yet there fs reason for hoping that the ultimate result will not be by any means as disastrous as is feared will be the case with the Ville Marie.The failure of the last-mentioned bank has been the direct cause of the suspension of the Jacques Cartler, the directors of which have deemed it better to suspend payment than to try and meet the sudden demands made upon them through the distrust and suspl- cion created by the disclosures in conneec- tion with the failure of the Ville Marte Bank.It is to be regretted that temporary assistance was not forthcoming, so that another course could have Deen followed.The suspension in rapid succession of two banks, each doing a business among the French-speaking population of the Fro- vince, must have a very distressing effect upon a large class of depositors and stockholders, representing the most thrifty and industrious elements in the community.Much of this could have been avoided if it had been deemed wise to have accepted the assistance which it is understood was offered.The directors, however, decided that the best interests of the bank\u2019s creditors would be served by suspending payment, The last statement of the bank shows a paid-up capital of $300,000, and a rest of $265,000.The assets liable to depreciation are: Overdue debts, $42,855; real estate, $30,405; mortgages, $27,949; bank premises, $130,000; unclassified assets, $43,781, a total of $284,090.In the same category must be placed the current loans, amounting to $3,836,016.On the nature of this item, of course, depends the solveiwy of the bank.If the value of the first {tem® mentioned be scaled down fifty per cent.and est!- mated as being $142,493, the current loans could suffer a depreciation of nearly twenty per cent.before the surplus assets, ns shown, would be wiped out, without touching the double llability of stockholders.It would appear therefore, that the paper discounted must turn out exceedingly bad Da- fore there will be any loss to depositors, or even to holders of the bank\u2019s stock, rte THH LATE SIR JAMES HDGAR.The death of Sir James Edgar removes one of the most experienced of Canada's public men.The event, although foreshadowed by a prolonged illness, came with startling suddenness.Sixteen members elected to serve in the present Parliament have dled during the three years which have elapsed, and when to that number are added the Senators who have passed away, the record is striking enough to attract\u2014as It appears to have done\u2014the profound attention of the political world which moves and has a fleeting being on Parliament Hill.It is sufficient to warrant remarks of the kind made by Mr.Foster last evening in directing attention to the littleness, after all, of our political differences and the unnecessary heat with which they too often are discussed.The late Speaker was not a great offender in either of these respects.He was an ardent party man, but not an extreme or unfair one.He combined great zeal for his party's success with great amiability and urbanity toward the individuals composing the party opposite.He did not make personal enemies, but possessed in unusual degree the power of separating personal and gen: eral questions.Under a gelf-possessed exterior he had a nervous temperament, and, until his fllness seriously Impaired his strength, a great capacity for work.For twenty years before his election to the Speakership, he had been in the front line of every Liberal battle.He had been entrusted by his party with some of {ts most onerous dutles, the most notable perhaps being the post assigned to him to give what assistance he could to the Hon.Mr.Tarte In the prosecution of the McGreevy charges.He, too, it was who was given, shortly afterwards, the post of responsibility when charges were to be laid in Parliament against Sir Adolphe Caron, tharges which were altered by Sir Adolphe\u2019s colleagues 80 that thelr further prosecution became out of the question.As a speaker, Sir James Edgar was incisive.clear and concise.He handled facts and figures with marked lucidity.His more studied speeches on tariff problems stand as valuable contributions to the political literature of the country.On several occasions he made unanswerable presentations of certain abuses of high protection to which the Conservative policy had given rise.He was moderate in his language and judicial in his manner.His voice was not suited to public speaking, but he possessed many of the other elements which constitute that forensic style of speaking whieh has now almost displaced declamatory eloquence from English-speaking Parliaments.His talents and tastes in the field of literature would have won for him a creditable place if he had not devoted himself so exclusively to a field which, until the honor paid him by the House of Commons and the subsequent honor of knighthood bestowed by his sovereign, had given him only twenty years of hard figh#ing in what have come to be called the cold shades of opposition.Certainly no member of the Liberal party better deserved these honors and his comrades-in-arms, as well as his opponents, we are sure, will regret that he bad such brief enjoyment of them.AWAITING ORDERS The Grand Trunk Trackmen May Go on Strike at Any Moment, A CIRCULAR IS ISSUED.Chairman Pole of the Executive Says That the Replies to it Will Determine What Will be Done.Chajrman Pole of the Trackmen's Brotherhood, was looking keen and bright when he was seen by a Herald representative at St.James hotel yesterday.\u201cI've had six weeks of the pick and shovel since last I saw you,\u201d he said, \u2018away up near the Sarnia tunnel, and 1 fecl Ingthoroughly good form.\u201d \u201cIs there going to be a fight, after all?\u201d \u2018Well, I would not like to say just yet.I am waiting for orders.Here is the circular we have sent out, and upon the replies we get to that will depend our action: \u201cMontreal, July 28, 1899.\u2018Dear Brothers,\u2014Ouce more we are in Montreal on your service.Our committee is W.Pole, chairman; Joseph Harris, secretary; James Imirie, Robert Grey, and D.Campbell.Since the arrangement with Mr.Hays, your chairman and secretary have not been idle.Secretary Harris had a good deal of correspondence with regard to the members of the committee, and Chairman Pole was holding meetings at Strathroy, Glencoe, Komrnoka, and arranged for mecet- ings at London and other places.\u2018Having made sure of our men for com: mittee work your chairman wrote Mr.Hays for passes for committee men and at once got them from Mr.Hays, and so we are here once more with all divisions of G.1.R.system represented.\u2018\u2019Having met and consulted together we pont to see Mr.Hays, according to the date ed.\u2018\u2018Agreeable to arrangement, we met Mr.Hays at his office at 11 o\u2019clock July 27.\u201cWe found Mr.Hays had sent Instrue- tions that men on main lines getting $1 per day were given an increase of 10 cents per day.On branch lines no increase to be given, and no increase to anyone getting over $1 per day.For instance, from \"l'o- ronto to Sarfila tunnel and Sarnia tunnel to Niagara Falls, the Increase would be given to those getting $1 per day, but from Toronto to North Bay or Pinasay branches, no increase would be given.Of course, this would give no increase to yard men or men working from Norton\u2019s Mills to Portland, and no increase to yard or any other foremen.\u201cTo be entirely accurate, he did say that he wonld leave it to General Superintendent McGuigan and general roadmaster fo pick a foreman here and there and give an increase, but this only applied to individual Cases, \u201cWe told Mr.Hays we would not accept any such arrangement.\"That any Increase given must be universal, and what was given to one must be given to all employes under a roadmaster, yard foremen, yard men, all section foremen and men, whether on branch or main lines, and whether pay fs $1 $1.20, $1.50, $1.75 or $2 per day.Mr.Hays expressed surprise that we came down at all, thinking this offer of 10 cents per day for the few mentioned would be quite satisfactory.\u2018\u2018After a good deal of discussion to and fro, we told Mr.Hays we could not ao anything with this offer, but would let the men know just what he offered, and let him know the result.\u201cNow, brothers, it is for you to say what the next step shall be.For our part.we utterly refuse to accept it, hut of course will he guided by vour instructions.\u2018Let a man go over your district and get the views of your members, and any who mary not he members, but want more pay, and let us have it quick.- \u201c(Signed) William Pole, chairman: Joseph Harris, secretary: James Imrie, R.Gray, D.Campbell, executive Committee.\u201d The various signators to this circular were present when Mr.Pole was feen by The Herald.oo \u2018The grand secretary of the brotherhood at Ottawa seems to be pretty active, Mr.Pole?\u201d \u201cA little too active,\u201d replied the chairman of the brotherhood.\u201cIt would have been better had T been informed of the feelings of the members directly, but he has acted upon communieations that he has received without consulting ws at all, and we do not think it is right.Mr.Lowe, the organizer, was here on Friday, and has gone back to Ottawa to see his family, from whom he has been absent for a long time.He will be back again to-day.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014pt\u2014 THE APPEAL ON BEHALF OF ST.JAMES CHURCH.(\u201cOld Fogey\u201d in the Metropolitan.) In connection with the public appeal made on behalf of a certain Montreal church, Î believe I am right in saying that the gencral public have not responded to.the exteny of five thousand dollars.1 mean, of course, in the way of new subscriptions, All the large amounts had been promised hefore the press was asked to come to the rescue.Any enterprising newspaper can collect one hundred thousand dollars for a famine funa or for an Armenian fund.the public belng quite content that the disbursement shall remain in the hands of persons at a great distance, of whom they know nothing.In the case of a church the affair 1s strictly denominational.Modesty would have dle- tated that the appeal should be confined to the adherents of that particular sect, and that it should have been addressed to the people through the medium of the denominational papers.\u2014\u2014\u2014p\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A STREET-CLEANING NEWSPAPER.(Toronto Printer and Publisher.)

Hen.Mr.Foster Express Their Heartfelt amd Personal Sorrow.SEVENTH DEATH THIS SESSION.Ottawa, Aug.1.\u2014(Speeial.)\u2014The news of the death of Sir James David Edgar, member for West Ontario and Speaker of the House of Commons, coming suddenly and unexpectedly as it did last night, caused a great shock to every one.The sitting of the House was at once suspended and an adjournment taken until this afternoon, when, as custom requires, a new Speaker will be elected.Brief but heartfelt words of appreciation and regret were spoken by Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Hon.Mr.Foster.The Premier was greatly affected, his voice shook as he referred to the late First Commoner, and the eircumstance that death has been unusually busy this session.Shortly before it commenced Mr.R.W.Jameson, of Winnipeg, and Hon.J.F.Wood, of Brockville, died, both suddenly.Since March 16 there have passed away Hon.W.B.Ives, of Sherbrooke, and Hon.C.A.Geoffrion, of Cham- bly-Vercheres, besides Hon.Messrs.Boul.ton and Sanford in the Senate.The late Speaker is thus the seventh of Canada\u2019s legislators to pass away this year, and his death makes the fourth vacant seat in the House of Commons.There was considerable speculation last night about the House as to the next Speaker, and several names are mentioned for the high position.Importations of Grain.The Minister of Customs stated, in reply to Mr.Clancy (Bothwell), that 4,313,220 pounds of binder twine, worth $296,153, were imported into Canada during the nine months ending March 31, 1899 To Mr.Henderson (Halton) the minister stated that up to June 30, 1898, there were imported 720,842 bushels of oats, 43,821 bushels of peas, 556,273 bushels of rye and 239,685 bushels of wheat.The importations for the nine months ending March 31st last were 71,827 bushels of oats, 20,802 bushels of peas, 81,852 bushels of rye, 46,0153 bushels of wheat.Forest Preservation.In Supply, the estimates for Dominion lands were taken up, and the discussion resumed.Mr.Clancy objected to an iteumn of $2,500 for the salary of the Chief Inspector of Timber and Forestry, and condemned the appointment of Mr.Stewart on the ground of want of proper qualification.Mr.Foster stated that Mr.Stewart's testimonials were that he was a good land surveyor and timber valuator, but not skill- de in forestry.Unless a man with higher attainments was got, the public would have no confidence in the office.The Minister of the Interior explained that the office was a new one.The duties of the inspector would be the supervision and preservation of the timber resources of the Dominion.Mr.McNeill (North Bruce) commended the Minister for making a serious effort to prevent the great waste of timber that is going on continually all over the Dominion.A Half-Breed Colony.A grant of $2,000 was asked to enable the trustees of the colony at St.Paul des Metis to supply seed grain and farm 1m- plements to settlers in distress.The Min- tster of the Interior explained that this colony was established by the late Government in 1895, under the auspices of Father Lacombe, and a grant was made to tt.Mr.McNeill £eared that the Government would he subjected to great nressure if it set the precedent of making such a grant.Mr.Sifton said the amount was not exorbitant.The reports showed that the work was a meritorious one.but he claimed no credit for it, as he was only carrying ont the work begun by the late Government._ ; Lt.-Col.Hughes moved that the item be struck out, but Mr.MeNeill hoped this motion would not be adopted, as he wished to obtain assistance for some settlers on Indian lands in the northern part of Bruce ounty.Cn \u2018Sifton said that & much larger graat had been made by the late Government without voucher or any information of any kind as to how it was paid.Their scruples came too late now.The Government had taken the word of Father Lacombe and one of the other trustees that there was need of assistance, and he was prepared to stake his reputation as a Minister upon the accuracy of the statements made by these gentlemen.The Government was prepared to trust Father Lacombe and the trustees to see that the money was properly expended.The members of the Opposition did not seem to understand the principle upon which for twenty years they had been voting money for various purposes.Mr.Foster admitted the responsibility of the late Government for starting the colony, but said it had never heen intended to make the grant an annual one.Sir Wilfria Surprised.r Wilfrid Laurier expressed surprise at fe attitude of the Opposition to the vote when they knew it was simply following in the track of the Government which inaugurated the colony in 1895.Fatner Lacombe had been the apostle of the half- breeds for more than half a century, ana had gathered them from wandering abeut the Northwest and endeavored to convert them into self sustaining farmers.The plan had not been entirely successful, put there had heen enough to encourage tne Government to give further assistance at- ter a lapse of four years.The vote would not be asked every year, and in this case was given with full rellance, on the honor of Father Lacombe.- Tne half-breeds were in a peculiar position, ana the Government recognized that they were to some extent the wards of the nation.This vote was more a matter of chariy than anything else, and the Government must be allowed some latitude.Mr.Lariviere (Provencher, Cons.) regretted that opposition should be shown to this vore when money was spent on less deserving objects.Mr.Davis (Saskatchewan) said that these balf-breeds had been deprived of their means of making a Uvelihood, ffeighting and hunting, and being unable to support r themselves, Father Lacombe had taken them in hand and was trying to make them self-sustaining.Messrs.Casey (West Elgin), Fraser (Cuysboro\u2019) and Oliver (Alberta) spoke iu favor of the vote, which was passed De- fore the House rose at six.The Speaker's Death.The House wis in Committee of Suppiy when the Premier centered shortly before half-past eight with an open telegram in his hand.Mv.Ellis (St, John), who was acting as chairman, adjourned the proceedings, the mace was placed on the tabie, and Deputy Speaker Brodeur took the clair, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who was deeply moved, said: \u2018Mr.Speaker, it nas been so often my duty during the present ses- tion to have to arise to announce the sad news to the House that I feel most pain- folly the Liecessity under which I aim or being again placed in the position of performing this sad duty.We have been really Hving in the shadow of death since this session opened.Death has been unrelenting, and it has chosen its victims from among the oldest and most exper- fenced members, 2 1¢ opening of the House, befor : Speech from the throne wis oie ve had to doplore the death of a very respected member in the person of Mr.Wood.Ata later day we had to deplore almost simul- limcously the deaths of Mr.Ives and of Mr.Geoftrion, one à member of a former ad- Ministration, the other a member of this administration, and now we have to deplore the death of the First Commoner in the land.The news has just reached us that Sir James Edgar, Speaker of this House, has just departed this life.I have no words to say how great the loss is to us, personally to me especially, and I am sure the House will agree with me that to the House generally it is a most painful loss, Sir Jaunes Fdgar had been, up to the time of his election as Speaker, a strong party man, but, I believe, a fair opponent, Since be has becn in the chair I believe it will be the consensus of opinion on both sides of this House that he discharged his duty with great dignity, with fairness and with general acceptance.To his loved ones, to his family, the loss is simply irreparable.I have very little, indeed 1 have no more, to say, but it must be my sad duty to more the adjournment of the House and that when it do adjourn it do stand adjourned until to-morrow at 3 o\u2019clock.Hon.Mr.Foster\u2014 Mr.Speaker, the suddenness of the news adds to the regret and sorrow that we all feel at the death of our fellow-member and the First Commoner.He was, of course, more intimately known to gentlemen on the other side of the House, to his own political party and personal friends, but I am sure that we on this side of the House, especlally those who have been in this Mouse for the last fifteen or twenty years, have always known him as a Man of worth and standing.The position of Speaker of this House is a difficult one under the best of circumstances, The little differences of opinion which arise are always unduly magnified in the heat of debate, but I am quite sure we all believe the late Speaker had no other object or wish than to preserve proper order and decorum In the House, and that his decisions have been as fair and as equitable as a man could make them in his position.I join with my right hon.friend in tendering to his family most sincere condolences.Death has come very suddenly; ft has come to our side of the House as well.Colleagues on boti sides have been stricken down very suddenly without a moment's warning, and both sides have been afflicted.If only goes to show us that, as my right hon.friend has said, we are all living in the shadow of death, and it is a salutory lesson to us that in all our little differences, which are only little differences, we are all members of one human family, bound over a very short road for a land unknown.I think it ought to temper, as I have no doubt te does temper, the heat of party strife and the impetuosity of party debate.At these times we more than at any other time find that we are all men and brothers.This side of the House joins with mv right hon.friend and his friends in our sincere regret at the untimely death of Sir James Edgar, and join with bim also in most sincere condolences with the family and friends.The House adjourned at 8.23 p.m., but the members remained for a long timé in the corridors and smoking rooms discussing the event, which has cast a gloom over Parliament in

Population of U.S.Will Be in New York on Dewey Day, New York, July 31.\u2014J.E.Root, of the New York Central, estimates that there will be 3,000,000 visitors in New York on Dewey Day.This, with the normal population of the city will bring the total up to 6,500,000, a twelfth of the whole population of the United States.How New York is to care for 3,000,000 visitors is a problem.Even 500,000 persons, it is estimated, would crowd owdinary accommodations to the limit.If instead ot 3,000,000 only 2,000,000 should come.it is estimated that each will spend $15 in the city, exclusive of railroad fares.This would mean $30,000,000 dumped into the city within seventy-two hours.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u201c\\\u2014\u2014\u2014 DUM-DUM ¥OR THE GUARDS Illinois

road, due to a landslide which followed a cloudburst, resulted in two persons being killed outright, while many believe that the remains of three others who are missing will be found in the ruins.Twentysix people were injured, many of them quite seriously.The wreck was one of the most remarh- able and horrifying in the history of the Erie railroad.A cloudburst and storm, which lasted two hours, occurred shortly before midnight, and a section of the bank fell on the eastbound tracks directly in front of an eastbound freight train composed of sixty cars.Several trces and all telegraph wires went down with the baak, and the freight cars and the engine were turned over across the westbound track.Twenty-two of the cars were derailed and piled up on the westbound track just as the westbound Chicago express tor Buffalo, which left New York at 11 o clock last night, put in an appearance, running at the rate of fifty miles an hour.The engine of the express train crashed Into the wreck and the baggage car, coms bination and buffet car and two Pullman sleepers were piled up on the tracks in.mediately in front of the wrecked freight cars.The first sleeper was split in two parts as a result of the accident, and the pas sengers were thrown thirty feet down the bank.Fire at once broke out and four cars cf the express train and nine of the freight cars were burned.PEACE IS STILL DSTA, te tee ty Irish Leaders Said to Be No Nearer Reconciliation, - 1.3 = Redmond Proposes to Make Another Tour of the United States to Replenish the Payty War Chest.London, July 31.\u2014The opinion prevulls in many quarters that no results will come from the negotiations proceeding for the selection of a néw Irish leader, and a general political reconcillation of the vartoas Irish factions.John Dillon's policy is said to be to leave the leadership question open uutil the next general election.He will then try to smash every Healyite and Redmondite candidate.Blake and Davitt both approve this course.In the meantime all the faction leaders are busily engaged .in libelling one another.Even the attempt to start a national fund for the purpose of raising a monument .o Parnell in Dublin set them all by the ears.Redmond, fearing the government will suddenly dissolve Parliament, proposes to make another tour of the United States to raise funds for the party war chest.He is hopeful that, in view of the approaching Presidential nominations, the American pol iticians will feel constrained to give money to the nationalist cause.RE.SCHOOL INSPECTORS.The examination of candidates for the
