Ottawa, August 5.\u2014The end of the session of 1809 has come at last.When Parliament met on March 16 the Government was criticised for the meagre nature of the bill of fare submitted in the speech from the throne.[our months and twenty days have passed; yet it is only by sitting morning, afternoon and night for wecks that the Government has been able to bring about prorogation at this date.Those who have followed the proceedings on Parliament Hill have not far to go to find the explanation.To a Dbadly-disorganized, yet noisy and leng-winded, Opposition is due the credit, if credij there is, for having protracted from the winter until the height of summer a session which might reasonably have been concluded within two months and a half.First there was the debate upon the address in reply to the speech from the throne, lasting from the commencement of the session until April 1], and covering 1,858 pages of Hansard.To what purpose?To demonstrate how faithfully each of the Ministers had carried out tbe work of his department and how greatly the autocrats who had ruled Canada for twenty vears had underrated their opponents in the Treasury benches.The Yukon crusade of the vounger Tupper, which was entered upon with the hope of discrediting the Government, when al' the other attacks upon the administration of public affalrs had failed, and to which, after much dragooning, the majority of the Conservative members had given their countenance, failed utterly when the chains of winter were relaxed and the tœuth regarding conditions in the ice-hound land of gold reached the front.The effect of the failure of the forlorn hope was to strike a Llow at the Tupper leadership from which it will not soon recover.Sir Hib- bert's second venture, when with an all- day speech and a wordy, misleading and meaningless resolution, drafted to be kil!- ed, he attempted to cover up his retreat, served but to add to his utter confusion.\"The valiant knight disappeared to bis Pacific retreat.If he ventures again into the arena of Federal politics it will be with a most unenviable reputation to live down, The vote by which the Government was sustained in the division upon the address was 101 to 48, which may be taken as some indication of the strength of the parties in the House, although the actual majority is several more than is shown by this vote.Budget and Estimates.The debate upon the address having been concluded, and the Tupper allegations having been disposed of, Parllament was free to procecd with the constructive business of the session.The budget, framed so as not to interfere unnecessarily with the industrial situation at a time when, as the result of an intelligently organized tariff and the business confidence which came with Liberal rule, commercial affairs were fn a most satisfactory condition, left to the Opposition no loophole of attack, since in view of the endorsation by the mass of the people of the changes made last ycar and the general approval on both sides of the water of the preference to British goods, it would have been folly to have taken issue openly with the principles iu- volved.Taking advantage of the unparalleled expansion of trade and the increased liicome which followed upon the change of ttovern- ment, despite the reduction in the duties, the Administration decided to take active steps towards the perfection of machinery for the still greater developrsent and exploitation of the unlimited resources of the Dominion.Thus when the estimates came down, it was found thai, lberal provision was made for the construction of perma- rent public works, aad more particularly for the improvement of the transportation facilities of Canada, in order that the trade of the West might be diverted into Canadian channels.To most of the individual items of outlay the Opposition assented.In some cases, Indeed, they demanded more.But when it was found that these items made a formidable total, the self-styled economists stood aghast, and in chorus sang of Liberal inconsistency because, forsooth, the Government, obeying the wishes of the people, proposed to take energetic steps to make possible the era of progress which all admit is dawning upon the Dominion.The Railway Subsidies.The railway subsidies which have been the subject of so much talk during the past week give evidence throughout of a determined desire on the part of the Goveru- ment to safeguard the interests of the people.In the first place, whilst encour agement is held out to a large number of roads in different parts of the country, the amount in each case provides simply for what can reasonably be expected to be done within the next year or two, the effect being to materially aid companies which are in earnest, without placing a preuium upon charter-mongering.The ciause against amalgamations, designed to keep up competition in freight rates by preventing combines with other lines, is a new and valu able provision, and whilst it cannot prevant shareholders in one company from buying stock in another, it goes as far as it is possible to go at the present time to prevent the new competitive lines being absorb:d by existing monopolies.The suggestion thrown out by the Minister of Railways that the several lines subsidized may ult! mately become part of a new transcontl nental line is Interesting, although it is not a matter of surprise to those who have been following closely the railway situation during the past few months.The clause in the resolutions providing for the repayment to the Government of part of the subsidy in the way of mail carrying and other services is also a valuable provision 80 far as the general public is concerned, the effect being to make the aid to the companies more of the nature of an advance than of a grant.The wandering criticism of the subsidies by members of the Opposition serves but to confirm the wisdom of the Government.First came Sir Charles with a charge of Liberal inconsistency, but & practical admission of tbe justice an} propriety of the grants.Then Mr.Foster who attempted to unsay what his leader had said.Then Mr.W.F.McLean who talked about his pet hobby the nationaliza- tlon of railways, without suggesting how he proposed to do the financing.Then Mr.\u2014 Osler opposed the Rainy River Railway project, which is designed to enter into competition with a road in which Le is financially interested.Then Mr.John Koss Robertson smashed into the Government for aiding the Rainy River road because he argued that its promoters were hand-ii- glove with Mr, Osler's friends.So it went on.Each in his own way expressed a more or less intelligent opinion of the resulutions which Sir Charles had approved, showing that in this as in many other ways, the Opposition has not a mind of its own.The Intercolonial Extension.Of the legislation that has been enacted perhaps the most notew orthy is that which provides fer the extension of the Inter- coionial Railway into Montreal.Here again the wisdom and forethought of the Government was vindicated.Against the Drummond County Rallway and Grand Trunk bills Sir Charles Tupper discharged his heaviest objections.Days were wasted in talk, but tbe bills were finally carried in the Commons.In the Senate the Éght was even more bitter.Casting common sense to the winds, some of the biît- terest opponents of the \u2018overnment in the Upper House went so far as to openly cnallenge the policy of the extension of the railway to Montreal, a course which the Conservatives In the Commons feared to take, however much they might have approved of it, However.the policy of the Montreal extension had been vindicated gc clearly by a brief trial under the temporary arrangement that the Conservative Senators were compelled to capitulate, and the legislation which they had suffocated two years before finally became law.The great improvements which hase been made in the equipment of the TIntercolonial clear- Iy shows that it is intended to make that read an active factor in the Canadian transportation and an element designed to protect Canadian shippers by keeping down freight rates.Beneficent Legislation.The public bills designed to improve the industrial conditions in the several prov- Inces have heen discussed and commented upon at length in The Herald as they have come un.The iron bounty and fisheries regulations will he appreciated in the Mar- Itime Provinces; the grain standard, seed grain conditions and land sale provisions will meet the urgent demands of the West; and the Yukon district provisions are designed to meet contingencies which experience has shown may arise in the future and to provide for the better administration of the new gold fields.Of the private bills, the Canada Life Act #fd a long \u2018lat of railway and other bills received the fullest consideration, and but few were croxvded out.Bitter Political Partizanship.Perhaps it was the prospect of an early appeal to the country that accounted for the unusaal bitterness of the attacks cf the Opposition during the past session.Take for example their uttitude upon the Redistribution Bill.The remnants of (he discredited party whicll sat in the House representing constituencies \u2018\u2018cooked\u2019 to suit their purpose by iniquitous gerrymanders placed upon the statute books by hem.selves, could find no language too strong for the condemnation of a bill which asked that county houndaries be observed in the redistribution of constituergies, and that the dividing of the counties be left to three of the highest judges in the laad.The Conservative majority In the Senate was got into line and this bill, which was designed tn, undo a great wrong to the electorate of Canada, and which could not be attacked upon reasonable grounds, fell a vietim to the partizanship of an irresponsible Upper House.Thus this important legislation was shelved for the present.Doubtless the Senate will see the folly of its course in this respect as well, and will, as in the case of the Intercolonial extension bills, change its mind when the question comes up again.Legislation Deferred.Of the other measures which will haw to stand over until the next session as the result of the time wasted bY the Opposl- tion in the opening months, are the major part of Hon.Mr.Blair's railway bill to Impose regulations upon companies in the building of stations where required, and in other matters, the Senate Reform resolution, the proposed amendments to the Criminal Code, Senator Dandurand\u2019's usury bill and other proposals which have been considered in the Senatd, but which there Is not time to take up in the Commons and properly weigh in the dying moments of the session.Then there are several matters, as, for example, Hon.Mr.Fielding's bill to regulate the assessments of fraternal insurance societies, which are being held over until the next session for special reasons, and at the request of the parties interested.The Prohibition Question.Taken altogether, the arguments upon the subject of prohibition which have taken place in the Commons this session cannot be said to be very reassuring to temperance people generally.The course of the Government was clear.The plebiscite showed that there was not a sufficiently strong public opinion behind the prohibition movement to justify the introduction of a prohibitory measure, especially in view of the determined opposition In Quebec.Many of the more earnest prohibitionists in the Liberal ranks were prepared to accept Provincial prohibition as a step in the right direction, but even this was repudiated hy the Conservatives, who styled themselves prohibitionists for the occasion, who would make no promise as to their own course and would accept nothing but the impossible.These latter devoted long and bitter speeches to attacks upon the Minister of Agriculture and other Liberals who had given much of their thought and energy to the temperance cause.A vain endeavor was made at a legislative committee of the Dominion Alliance and in the House to fasten an imaginary responsibility upon the Government, but the political motive was so apparent that the struggle degenerated into a farce.Mr.Flint\u2019s resolution and the amendments of Mr.McClure and Mr.Par- malee still stand on the order paper, the rush of other business at the close having prevented a vote being reached.In the meantime, the widely divergent opinions which have been expressed by the prohibition leaders on both sides of the House meet | ana the small vote poHed at tle plebiscite, show that prohibition in Canada is still far from an accomplished fact.The Cable And The Boundary.Two questions of international interest, which have occupied much attention during the session, are the Pacific Cable proposal and the Alaskan boundary dispute.Practically the solution of the Pacific Cable question bas been arrived at during the present session.Much has been said for some years past upon the question of an all-British Pacific Cable.When The Liberals came into power the solution appeared to be as far away as ever.By resolving the situation to a concrete arrangement between Canada, the Austra- laslan colonies «xd Great Britain, and by steady and persistent efforts the Govern- rent has at last succeeded in practically making the Iacilic Cable an accomplished fact.The Alaskan boundary dispute cannot be said to have made any considerable progress since the adjournment of the International Commission.Within the past two months, however, the true inward- Less of the situation has been revealed to the public bit by bit, largely ns the result of the denials of the misleading reports circulated from Washington and purporting to have been inspired more or less directly by the American authorities.The Canadian Premier has maintain- ec throughout the position of preserving as confldential questions which are still a matter of negotiation between the two great powers.We have been enabled, Lowever, without any imputation of a breach of faith to set the minds of the British and Canadian public at rest as to the fairness of Canada\u2019s position, and the evident desire of the British commissioners to secure a settlement by a reference to arbitration now that a compromise seems to be out of the question.The discus- sicns which have taken pince In the House upon these questions, whilst they have been largely considered apart from party considerations, have greatly enhanced Sir Wiifrid Laurier\u2019s reputation as a diplomatist.Even Sir Charles Tupper was forced upon the floor of the House to ac- kirowledge that he had misunderstood the rolicy of the Premier, and once having understood it, that he was pleased to give it his most cordial cemmendation and sup- rort.These questions, as well as the recent expressions of sympathy with the Tit- landers in the Transvaal, have been a relief to the struggles of party, and have done something to widen the scope of the deliberations of the session.Without doubt the Imperial sentiment is In the ascendant in the Canadian Parliament.The Election Enquiry.During the past few weeks some interest has centred in the West Huron election enquiry.The eagerness with which tlie Opposition attempted to gain publicity at the first indication of what might be construed as irregularity in the conduct of tie election, shows what little faith it had in its own case.The conduct of many of the witnesses when under examination would have Deen sufficient to convince an Impartial jury that they had heen coached with à story for the occasion.If there had been evidences of irregularities, the evidences implicate both sides, and perhaps when the end is reached, the Conservatives will have little reason for jubilation.At all events, nothing has been or is likely to be brought out.which will compare with the corruption known to have been practiced hy the Conservatives in winning elections in the past.\u2018 Should it be shown that Liberal workers have stooped to adopt Conservative ahuses in individual cases, the Government is free from responsibility, and the ventilation which will have taken place will be of advantage to the country at large, which will have to thank the Premier for his frankness in granting the fullest enquiry at the first imputation of wrong-deing.The rumors of Liberal oDb- structfon during the course of the enquiry can be directly tracea vo a desire to prevent a searching cross-examination of git- nesses who quailed when the truth showed signs of coniing out and betraying the game they had been set up to play.Session a Trying One.Upon the members themselves the session has been a particularly trying one, and nothing but the strongest pressure has been able to keep many of the Conservative members in their places as their leaders kept up the work of obstruction.There is little doubt but that the unusual strain hastened the end of Sir James Edgar, tfie respected Sneaker of tle House, whose loss is mourned from ocean to ocean.The gloom cast over the House by his loss, as well as of those of Hon.C.A.Geoffrion, a ralued minister of the Crown, and Hon.W.B.Ives, a respect?d ex-minister, has been apparent in thet: latter days, and has perhaps helped to hasten prorogation, despite the efforts of : group of Opposition front benchers to whom the making of lohg speeches is a pleasure even in the height of summer.Mistakes and Misrepresentations.The record of the session is now before the country.Very obviously the Conservatives, acting upon the suggestion developed in the party press before the House met, that there would not be another session before a general election, devoted every effort to grinding out material for the stump.In framing their plans they had not credited the genera! public with ordinary intelligence, for their tactical errors have been so great as to disgust their own supporters outside of the House, and their time wasting and misrepresentations have been so glaring as to be at once apparent to every elector who has followed the proceedings.Now they find that the Government, which has had renewed evidences of continued public confidence in the bye-elections, will probably not go to the country until 1900, and by that time all of their boasted attacks and even the most dangerously misleadthg of their half truths will have been cleared up and the Laurier ad:iainistration will stand before the people of Canada as an energetic, patriotic and united administration of able men competent to take charge of the welfare of a great nation starting out upon a period of unexampled prosperity.- LEAVES FOR THE STATES.During

Saw it Masked for McLean\u2014Other Witnesses Heard.Ottawa, Aug.5.\u2014(Speclal.)\u2014Yesterday afternoon the Privileges and Elections Committee met from four until half-past five o'clock, Williaan L.Moston, town treasurer of Goderich, declared that the statement of Abraham S:ith, placed in the mouth of HFarr, to the effect that Horton took Farr down town the night before the election and \u2018\u2018put him through his facings to see whether he eould do the job or not\u201d was absolutely untrue.\"The day before the election Horton said he heard that Farr was drinking, and he intended asking Farr if he hadn't better allow some other person to act as deputy returning ot- ficer, and it was arranged that James Yates should go up and ask Farr not to act.On the day of the polling Farr sent for him, and coming out of the polling booth said, \u201cCan\u2019t yon get me some whiskey ?\u2019 but the witnes did not get any, And that is the only time that he saw Farr that day.He had known Farr for several years, but had no business relations with him.The witness was examined at some length as to the different organizers whom be had seen in the riding during the &ltc- tion campaign, and recognized a number of the names as men whom he had \u2018seen In the riding.He described at some length an interview he had with Allan Murray about the votes \u201cof two men named Peter and William Macdonald.Murray claimed they had voted for ITolmes, and the witness claimed they had not.The witness admitted that he might have tid Horton subsequent to the election that Lilly Macdonald did not vete for Holmes, and that he could prove he didn\u2019t vote for Holmes, but admitted that if he told Murray this he was probably not telling the truth.He might have said in fun that he had Macdonald's ballot, but didn\u2019t think he 1¢ld him that.He neither had the ballot in his office nor* proof in his office that Macdonald had not voted for Holmes.Farr Voted for McLean.William Mitchell, who had already given evidence, was recalled.His evidence caused the greatest sensation, barring fights and faints, that has yet occurred in the committee, Mr.Russell asked the question, \u201cDo you know how Mr.Farr voted at the last election ?\u201d \u201cHe voted for Mr.McLean,\u2019 repHed Nit- chell, : By Mr.Borden\u2014 Q.You saw him mark the ballot, did you ?A.Yes, sir.; Q.And how did that \u2018happen ?A.Well, it occurred just as I got\\through, wy own voting.Farr saw me, an§ called me back and said, \u201cJ want you to ste how I am gbing to vote for Holmes.They have got it all over town 1 am going to vote for McLean,\u201d and he marked the, Lallot for McLean.I told him \u201cI don\u2019t want to see how you vote,\u201d but he Insisted on showing me.Q.Did you believe as a matter of fact tbat he had voted for McIean ?A.I did, certainly, for the reason 1 saw him mark a ballot and put it in the Lox.().Did you watch to see whether he put {n the same ballot he had marked ?A.Well, I could not say that.Q.You saw him mark it and\u2014 A.He showed that to me and put it in the box.Q.You don\u2019t know whether it was the same ballot or not?A.No, I don\u2019t.Q.Now had he told you anything about this before.Well, he did tell me the night before.He had told you he was going to vote?.For McLean.He volunteered it?A.Yes.Q.I suppose he knew you were a Conservative?A.Yes.Q.And his showing you the ballot was entirely voluntary on his part?A.Yes, and I told him I didn't want to see his vote at all.In answer to Mr.Borden the witness said that he did not know whether Farr had been a Liberal or a Consevative before.By Mr.Russell\u2014 Q.He was appointed by\u2014 A.Appointed by the Liberals this time of course.Q.Previously appointed by the Conservatives?A.No, he acted for the municipality.Q.Well the municipal council was Conservative when he acted for the council?A.I don\u2019t think so, the first time he was appointed there was a reform majority.Q.He was appointed by the Conservativ2 majority of the council.A.Since?Q.Appointed by a reform council first and afterwards by Conservative, they con- tinned him?A.Yes.Q.A sort of permanent returning office:?A.Yes.In answer to Mr.Borden the witness sail he could not tell whether Farr had been drinking or not.Qe Op Wanted Farr to Resign.James Yates, whe Is referred to by the witness Abraham Smith, corroborated his testimony as to their effort to keep Farr from acting as deputy returning officer as he was drinking.He flatly contradicted Smith's statements that he went up after the ballot box.He said \u201cI didn't ask for it, and if he wanted to give it to me I would not have taken it, because I had no right to it.\u201d He said that Farr had been returning officer for Goderich for five or six rears.Farr was returning officer at local elections; he \"was deputy returning ofiicer at the plebiscite »vote, appointed by the witness, and had been appointed depucy returning officer for the municipality by the Conservative majority in the Council.The committee will meet this nforning at ten o'clock.Û .rte LAURENTIAN ARRIVES TO-MORROW.The steamship Laurentian was \u2018reported passing - Heath Polat inwards at 4 p.m.yésterday, andr will \u2018reach Quebec about 3 a.m.to-morrow, and Montreal to-morrow evening, Passenger list published elsewhere.+ ESITATE TO PLUNGE Trackmen\u2019s Executive Still Meditating on Mr.Hays\u2019 Refusal.EXTENSION OF GATINEAU Government Orders an Investigation into the Moose Fark Accident\u2014 New Line to the Pyrmaids.The executive committee of the Trackmen's Brotherhood are still thinking over the announcement made by Mr.C.M.Hays, the general manager of the Grand Trunk, yesterday to the effect that he could not accede to the demands for an increase in the wages of the branch line trackmen, and that the decision of the company as to the schedule of wages already made public was final.As stated exclusively in yesterday's Herald, circulars have already been sent out by the executive informing the brotherhood of the result of the conference at Point St.Charles, and the replies of the men are being anxiously awaited by the executive.A prominent Grand Trunk official says with regard to the situation: \u201cThe last strike on the Grand Trunk lines cost the trackmen in the neighborhood of $70,000, and I do not believe they will run the risk of another strike, particularly at this time of the year.The tracks between this city and the important points along the system are in the best possible shape.This was demonstrated a.few days ago by the trial run made, when the official train attained a speed of seventy-four miles an hour.So, you see, all the talk about the danger of rails springing idle.During the time when the track- men were out, practically little work Was done, except during the last two weeks, and there was not a single accident.This shows in what condition the line was and is at the present time.I do not believe the men will allow themselves to be led into another strike.\u201d .Chairman Pole has absolutely nothing to say with regard to the line of action likely to be pursued by the committee.The Moose Park Accident.The Dominion Government has ordered a thorough investigation to be made into the cause of the accident which took place on the I.C.R.on Monday evening by which a fireman was seriously injured and damage was done to the amount of some $15,000.Mr.J.S.Price, the general superintendent, has been for the past two days investigating the circumstances.Atlantic & Lake Superior Railway.Mr.E.Berryman, C.E., who has just completed \u2018an exploration survey of the proposed extension of the Atlantic & Lake Superior Railway between Port Daniel and Gaspe Basin, is in the city organizing a party, who are about to begin the permanent survey for the location of the line.Mr.Berryman says he had over a dozen men with kim in the survey, which was important both as regards the route and the discoveries made along the line of the proposed railway.The intention of the promoters are {to limit the Atlantic & Lake Superior by the inland route, passing through some of the finest spruce forests in the \u2018country and reaching the Basin of Gaspe by the valley of the York River, following that stream\u2019 for a distance of about twenty miles.The length of the projected railway from Paspebiac, where the rails row end, to Gaspe will be about ninety miles, although the engineers will probably shorten it | someyvhat when the first location comes to be made.Mr.Berryman declares that many surprises are in store for those who visit the Gaspe peninsula for the first time, as the timber resources of that portion of the province are a revelation to even those who are familiar with the Lake St, John and St.Maurice regions.It if he adds, a province all to itself, and with a trunk line built down through the peninsula and two \u2018or three short feedens stretching out north and south, an era of remarkable development will undoubtedly set in.Mr.Berryman also states that splendid soil is to be found along the St.John and York rivers, and that with a railway and a market at their command, room will be created here for a large and thriving agrficultural population.This Beats the Grand Trunk Special Train.A fast run was recently made on the .Vandalia line with one of the new eight-wheel passenger engines.The run wag with Vandalia, line regular train No.20.The train passed Clayton eight minutes late; passed Trans- .wer station one minutes late, distance 18 miles, time 14 minutes, or an average of practically 46 seconds to the mile for eighteen miles, or 78 miles per hour.Part of the distance was made at somewhal \u2018higher speed.For instance, Cartersbusg was passed seven minutes late, and Transfer station ona minute late.Distance, 14.93 miles, ov practically 44 seconds per miie for fifteen miles, or about eighty-two miles per hour.The \u2018train consisted of eight cars\u2014two postal cars, one combination coach and.baggage car, two day coaches, two sleepers and one dining car.{ To the Pyramids.Scholars, Egyptologists and railway men will alike be interested to know that an electric railway has just been .completed to the pyramids of Egypt.the electric car system of Cairo, of ;which this forms a part, comprises about thirty-six miles of track, some twelve or fourteen miles of road being double track, owned by the Societe \u2018Anonyme des Tramways du Caire, of ; Brussels.The construction of these lines was commenced during the latter part of the year 1895, by the Union | Electric Company, of Berlin, and some \u2018of the road was opened for trafic on August 1, 1896.The larger portion of the lines, however, has been built since that date.The line to the pyramids starts at the west end of the Kasr-eol- Nil bridge, which is one mile from the centre of the city.The government , would not permit the railway company to lay its track on this bridge, which \u2018is the reason why the termina! is some- | what removed from the business centre.The line extends up the wast bank of the Nile a distance of about two \u2018miles, to Gizeh, and thence in a westerly direction, seven and nne-half miles, to the foot of the Gizeh pyra- \u2018mids and the Sphinx.The line is single track, with turnouts, laid with 43- pound T-rails, and bound with twoe \u2018Chicago bonds at each joint.Two trolley wires are used, supped on poles, with bracelet arms.The motar- men and cenductors are native Arabs.The trip from Cairo to the pyramids is made in fourteen minutes, bu* one hour is usually taken \u2018ur the round trip, for which a fare equivalan: to 38 cents, American money, is charged.Extension of the Gatineau.The Ottawa & Gatineau Railway Company will extend its line a part of a the way from GracefleMd to Maniwaki this summer.Mr.Bee me?int>nrnds to commence the work at an carly date; indeed, already a stafl of men .s engaged in the preliminary operatione.The plans for the construction vf the line have been filed in the ragisiry office in Hull.It is proposed to construct fifteen miles this season.as far us Blue Sea Lake.The extension will nrove @ payinr investment, as lue Gat- ineau is every year becoming more popuar as a summer resort a.d home for sportsmen.THIS INSULT CAME HIGH France Has Demanded Mineral Rights uf an Entire Chinese Province to Satisfy Wounded Honor.Tacoma, August 4.\u2014The steamer Victoria brings news of a daring outrage perpetrated early in July at Meugtsee, an important town oun the Franco-Chinese frontier.Æ band of Chinese attacked the French consulate and the Imperial maritime customs station, burning both buildings and plundering the offices.The foreigners attached to the consulate and custom-houscs es- cancd.The French have already put in a claim for damages, demanding 1,200,000 taels and mining rights in six districts of Szechuen province.This demand practically covers the whole mineral ficld of Szechuen.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 NEWSBOYS AND THE ANIMALS The Herald's Little Agents Going to See the Norris Show, They Will Be Entertained by the Dogs, Monkeys and Elephants on Monday Night.t The newsboys\u2014and that, of course, fm- plles the newsgirls as well\u2014are to be given another treat.The Herald has made arrangements for taking the youngsters to the Norris Brothers\u2019 great annual show on Monday night.A brass band wil come down town and escort them to the grounds

- Clalistic Legislation.\u201d LORD PAUNCEFOTE\u2019'S WORK .Recognition of His Labors in Cause of Peace Arouses Universal Appreciation, CASTELLANES AND THEIR GUESTS London, August 5.\u2014It Is understood that one of the principal Government measures of the coming session will be old age pensions, and there is every prospect of a hot fight over the bill.Many supporters of the Government are utterly opposed to what they term \u201csocialistic legislation,\u201d the taxpayers are in arms against the prospective heavy demands upon their diminishing incomes, and it ls pointed out that no matter how disastrous it turns out to Le such a measure could never be repealed in a democratic country like England.It is recognized on every side that increased expenditure will be requisite to meet the fierce rivalry of the United States and Europe, while signy are not lacking that Great Britain's income Is nearing high water, and there is a widespread feeling that this is no time to sacrifice millions which might be spent in insuring the country against hostile fleets.As to the old age pensions scheme, many people think it would fatdlly decrease the sense of duty towards the family and render the citizen less thrifty and energetic.To Buy An Island.Interesting information comes from the British North Borneo Company, in that lt has received a request from the Philippines asking the company to lease or sell to Filipinos Baguey Island, just south ot Palawan Island.It is only sparsely inhabited by natives.The Filipinos, who are engineering the deal, say that in case of their defeat, Aguinaldo and other leaders, with a large section of the Filipinos, may settlte at Baguey, under British protection and the company\u2019s rule.The board Is now considering the question, but it is understood that the company Is not averse to leasing the Island on very favorable terms being offered.Congratulate Lord Pauncefote.Lord Pauncefote, the British Ambassader to the United States, continues to receive numberless congratulations on his elevation to the peerage.A representative of the Associated Press yesterday saw piles of letters and telegrams on his table, but, singularly, none has yet arrived from Amer- lca.The Ambassador said: \u201cNaturally, I am averse to trumpeting my work.at the conference.Little can be said that the world does not know already.But I can express my solid conviction that a tangible commencement has been made in new methods of international dealing, especially In the settlement of the grave issues which are bound to arise at times between nations.It would manifestly be ont of place for me to discuss the Alaskan question.I am not sure I am thoroughly conversant with the later development.However, the tact, good sense and wisdom on both sides are sufficient guarantee of a final, honorable settlement.I am afraid excessive praise has been rendered me for the good understanding which exists between the two countries, but it is assuredly flattering, and it would be affectation on my part to appear to ignore the happy change which has come about recently and which none Is in a better position to recognize than the Ambassador.Owing to the prorogation, I shall be unable to take my seat dur- Ing the present sessions of Parliament, but I will go to Windsor to \u2018kiss hands\u2019 in the ordinary course.\u201d Entertained

Sunstruek While on His WayiEER to the House.Ottawa, August 5.\u2014(Special)\u2014In spite of a sultry atmosphere and a chamber\u2019 which was like an overheated oven, the few legislators still left here spent a long day in session \u2018yesterday, aud devoted hours to tall and nothing but talk, much of which has not the slightest interest for the rute- payer.Phe intense heat proved too much for one muenfber.Dr.Alvin HE.Moore, member for Stanstead, was sunstruck while on his way up to the House in the forenoon.He was -removed to hospital, where he now lics fn à serious condition.Among the subsidies discussed were those to the Quebee bridge, the South Shore Railway, and the Edmonton & Yukon Railway, gud these with others were discussed at-écasiderable length.: Upon resuming at three o'clock, the House settled down to business, and a mainber of subsidies were passed In rapid succession: \u2018Lake Erle and Detroit River.Mr.Clancy objected to the proyiso that the subsidy to the Lake Lrle & Detroit River Railway Company for à line from St.Thomas to ltidgetowu payable in the event of adequate running over the Canada Southern Railway between the two points not being granted on terms shall only be | to be approved by the Rallway Committee \u2018 of the l'rivy Council, He protested against the subsidy being tied up, ag there was very little possibility of these rights being obtained.Major Beattie, London, sald the road should be constructed as rapidly as possible, and the restrictions should be rémov- ed, as this section was necessary te \u2018connect with the London and Port Stanley Railway, of which the city of London was tlre ower ,and afford another outlet tor that road.Mr.Blair would be glad to meet _ the wishes of Mr.Clancy, but the diffieuity Tras found in the paralleling of an existing ine, i CE Sir Wilfrid Laurier pointed out that ff constructed the line would parallel an .existing line at a distance of not more than three or four or six miles, and ft had been claimed would paralyze the business of the road.i Edmonton to Yukon.\u2019 Upon the vote to the Edmonton, Yukon & Pacific Railway Co.for a railway from South Edmonton to North Edmonton, and thence westerly towards the Yellow Head pass, a distance not exceeding fifty miles, Mr.Foster sald it appeared that the pæo- moters of this railway had got charters - covering the two available passes for a transcontinental railway in the north.Fhe only person known in connection with the railway was the solicitor, and the Minister of Railways thought he knew the president of the company who had pre-empted - the pass, gnd they stood in the direct passage for a transcontinental railway.The Government had subsidized 400 miles of railway, which formed links of.a new proposed transcontinental railway, and the parties interested had also pre-empted the only two available passes.The company had obtained enormous powers .on the Luard, McKenzie, Yukon and other rivers, and the House should have further information in order that members might judge of the capability of the company to carry cut their obligations.This he asserted was a link in the scheme which is now being carried out, and is being heavily subsidized this year, for a new railway to the Pacifiz coast, and this was the ground of va tage\u201d that is being given to Mr.Pugsley qäd his company, and the Government shonld sätis- fv ilsecif of the ability of the company \u2018to carry out this scheure.- ; Mr.Oliver was at a loss to know wheth- ed the opposition was to the subsidy or to the charter.The whole scheme was fouglit from time to time, session after session, and the people of the North-West tried to save themselves by getting this new charter, and they had succeeded in getting their rights with this new company.As to the objection that this is part of a new traus- continental line, he could not see wherein there was room for objection on that head.The road would go through a part of the country which is thickly settled, and the project was deserving of the favorable attention of this Parliament, ?Myr.Foster demanded that.the personnet of the company should be given before the vote passed.i Mr.Costigan called the attention of the gentlemen who were opposing the vote to the fact that Mr.Pugsley had commenced his railway operations during the.time the {Conservative party was in power, and learned his way to the west under that Government, and his influence with the Government of that day depended as much upon a recommendation of the hon.1a~m- ber for York (Mr.Foster) as any otler.Mr.Costigan, continuing, said he desinnd to answer some slanders which had heen started against him some time ago, which he never thought of sufficient Importance to refer to in his place, as a question of privilege, in respect to a newspaper article injuring his reputation.which appeared in the Winnipeg Telegram, which intimated that he was too poor a man to undertake the trip to the Peace River at his own expense, and therefore he must have gone at the expense of the Government.The statement was made out of whole clath, and there was no foundation for it.He admitted that he was a poor man, and that he could not afford it was quite true.but he made the trip without one cent expenditure by the Government or any party.He made the trip as an honest man and bought two miners\u2019 licenses for the north and paid for them.He made the trip to the Peace River country for the purpose of obtaining FEMALE MAIL.That sounds more contradictory than it is, when attention is called to its bein a description of the largest mail received by any man in the United States exclusively from women.This \u2018female mail\u201d is received by Dr.R.V.Pierce, the celebrated specialist in women\u2019s diseases, chief consulting physician to the Invalids\u2019 Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y.It is only fair to say that it is not the man that women write to, but the doctor.One of the remarkable features of this corresponderice is that years after a cure has been effected, grateful women continue to write to Dr.Pierce, being thankful for health and for the kind and fatherly advice, which was blended with the physician\u2019s counsel, and which was so helpful in preserving the health when regained.1 The offer of a free consultation by letter is extended by Dr.Pierce to every sick and ailing woman.Every letter received is read in private, answered in private and its contents treated as a sacred confidence.To exclude any third ® party from the correspondence, answers are mailed in a plain envelope, bearing upon it no printing or advertising - whatever.Address Dr.R.V; Pierce, Invalids\u2019 Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y.Dr.Pierce\u2019s Favorite

previous address, spoke in terms which it was impossible to understand whether it was derision or respect.lteplying to the demand for the names of the company he referred hon.gentlemen to the charter of tue company, and as no one took exception to the powegs given to the company at its inception, it wus too\u2019 late now on that score.For his own part, he would be glad if the projected liue formed a part of \u2018new transcontinental scheme; if it were he would be glad to hear of it.If the scheme were meritorious it should be supported.2 Mr.Suthérland did not believe there was any scheme before Parliament more deserving than this particular road, which would run through a most fertile country which is well settled.The people wauc railway facilities aud should get them, and this was the proper way to develop the country.Special clauses bad been inserted in this bill, which it would have been well if they had: been inserted In charters in the past.If the road could be continued from Edmonton to the coast and to the city of Vautouver it would be of great value to the country.It would return to the Dominion Government one hundredfold the amount of the grant in a very short time.Mr.Haggurt- said that the House had learned from the member for \u2018Alberta and Mr.Sutherland that this was à part of a transcontinental scheme, as those hon.gentlemen had, defended it as such.It was contended this was a road, commencing im Untario, going up Ly Winuipeg, the Swan river and on to the coast.\u2018This was perhaps one of the greatest schemes ever introduced into the Canadian Parliament.The Minister of Railways, having sent \"to his department for the petition of the company asking for a sibsidy, he read the document, which was handed.to Mr.Foster \u2018and \u2018Mr.Haggart, and shortly after wards the item passed.7 Upon the item for the Rainy River, Mr.Richardson moved in ameadment that a clause be inserted providing that.the rates for wheat on that portion of the road which is subsidized should mot be greater than its proportion of a gross rate of 8 cents per 100 pounds between Winnipeg and Fort William, .This amendment was voted down, only five members voting for it.Mr.Sutherland, speaking after 8 o'clock, stated that the whole question of the cost of this road had been gone into by engineers of the Ontario Government, wito had ve- ported that the line would cost not less than $27,000 per mile, which seemed to fully warrant the payment of the doubie subsidy.«> .The South Shore Line.The Premier sald, regarding the subsidy.to 82 iiles of line of the South Shore Railway, from Sorel Junction to Lotbiniere, that this line was designed to opex up the | river fromt along the south bank of the St.Lawrence, an excellent agricultural country.Mr.Bergeron asked 4f this would be a link in the Atlantic and Lake Sdperior Railway.The Premier replied thit it would not.The late Government hid.made the mistake of promising aid to two rallways in this country, one of which was owned by the \u2018A.& L.S.Railway.Messrs.Monk (Jacques Cartier); Bergeron (Beauharnois), Morin (Dorehester).and other Conservative membérs \u201cargued that this was the proper route to hai?taken In extending the Intercolonial\u2019 to Montreal Thé Quebec Bridge.To aid the construction of a \u2018bridge across the St.Lawrence at \u2018Quebec the sum of $1,000,000 was asked.Sir.Wilfrid Laurier gave a short outline of the scheme.The bridge, with its approaches, would be 3,280 feet long, the central span being 1.600 feet-long, and with a clear height of 150 feet above high tide.The estimated cost of the stone substructure was $1,200,- 000, and of the steel supersfructure $2,- 460,000, a total of $3,660,000, exclusive of the cost of the approaches, which were expected to cost $400.000.The capital stock of the company was $200,000, of which $50,- 000 had Deen paid up.Mayor Parent, of Quebec, was president, and all the leading business men of the city were shareholders.Between $30,000 and $40,000 had already been spent, and the company was prepared to proceed with the undertaking.They could count upon a subsidy of $500,000 from the city of Quebec, and expected to obtain one from the Provincial Government as well.The Pederal Government would, , retdiin the same conttol.over rates and tolls as in the cdse of a railway.The railways which would supply trafic for \u2018the bridge were the Intercolenial,.Grand Prunk and Quebec Central, on the sout'a shore, and the Canadian Pacific, Lake Sh, John, .Quehec, Montmoreney and Charle- voix and Great.Northern on thé north shore.Mr.Walter Shanly had estimated in 1885 that the traffic would be 160 cars going \u201ceastward and RO cars going westward daily, which at $4 per car would mean an annual revenue of $250,400.Two vears ago M.Walsh, of the Quebec Central.made another estimate of 70 cars a day from the Grand Trunk, 60 from the Inter- - colonial.44 from the Quebec Central, 30 from the Drummond County \u2018and 3 from the Canadian Pacttic, on which the annaal revenue would be $239,164, 1 Dr.Sproule (Fast Grey \u2018contended that it.was.not a fair principle, either with railways or bridges, to calculate the percentage of earnings on the capital paid up with.the subsidies added.THe Minister of Railways said this view \u2018had commended itself to his own mind, and he saw no objection to adopting it.He coulä not see that any injustice wontd be done to the shareholders.This bridge was not being promoted ns a money-making enterprise, and he would take steps to insert this provision.deciding what would be fair rates, would Invested, and tlre dividends would not be calculated unon money which the snare- holders had never nut in.After some further debate the vote was passed.A nurber of small votes were disposed of and the subsidy resolutions were finally renorted.The House rose at 12.55 a.m.THE FUND IS GROWING.Seventy-Six Presbyterian Ministers

THE HERALD, MONTREAL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1899, 3 CLOSING UP ON THE LEADERS The \u201c Champs.\u201d Trim the Stars and Rochester Gets Walloped by the Ferry Boat Sailors in Toronto.Winters HE prize fat man and rapid thinker of the League, Mr.Pat Powers, who recently injected the elixir of life into the Syracuse Stars, will be pained to learn of the proceedings yesterday afternooh out in Dooleyville.To say the least, \u201che Stars put up a better game than Washington did the day before, but the champions played circles around them, and won in a canter.Mr.Winters came to town with the fyracuse team, but entertained numerous original thoughts of his own, and declined to play with Montreal.Pat Powers got such a hustle on that he resorted to the tclegraph wires, and had a message ticked off to Dooley to the effect that Winters was ordered to report.Pat would have sent the message by stage coach if be could have, but unfortunately the coach had just left.\u2018Winters, however, received the Intelli- £ence with a stony stare and demands wore salary.The whole matter looks as if Mr.Lynch had his hand in and had been giving Winters some able hints to how to be sassy and indeperdent.Lynch has a percentage of .1,000 at this sort of thing, and many managers of the League realize by experience that it is More Satisfactory to hold a debate with a board fence than with Mr.Lynch.However, Winters has two things before him\u2014either play with the team or take a rest on the bench without salary.Farmer Brown pitched for Syracuse, and wus overjoyed to hear of the magnificent.outlook for wheat in Manitoba.\u201cThe crops on our side,\u201d said the Farm- == (\u201cA peach,\u201d said Mr.Brown,\u201d slightly raising his left foot.) \u20ac.picking a few stray pieces of hay out ôf his hair, \u2018\u2018are in great shape, especially the midsummer choke cherries\u2019 and the ice cool cucumbers.\u201d \u2018Are the potato bugs numerous ?\u201d\u2019 asked somebody.\u201cHow 7\u2019 said the Farmer.\u201cThe potato bugs, are they numerous \u2018\u2019Wa-a-al, yes, they be some plentiful in patches, but the\u2014say, excuse me, will yer ?I got ter do a little pitehin\u2019.\u201d\u201d And the Farmer walked into the box to get walloped.He gave \u2018\u2018Shy\u2019\u2019 his base on balls, and then Tonuoy Bannon lammed it away out to the Arena fence for a home run, Johnson made a hit and also scored, mak- Ing it 3 to 2, as the Stars managed to get two men over in the same inning.The home run business was an epidemic yesterday, and home runs will soon be as plentiful and popular as kissing bugs.Tommy Bannon soaked out two of them, both hits being In The Field, while Georgie Bannon and Williams consigned a couple of balls into St.Catherine street.There was no scoring again untill the sixth, when Syracuse tied it, Willams\u2019 Loomer over the fence doing the business, Lezotte came to the bat and made a gingle, but lingered long on first while Smith and Griffin had their death warrants signed by Shearon aud George Ban- non.The fireworks started in the seventh, and the champions made a runaway race of it.George Bannon started by putting the ball over the fence, and of course came in for the usual liberal applause from the crowd.Jacklitz followed with a wallop for three bases, and scored when Lezotte in right field made a juicy muff of \u201cDug\u2019s\u201d fly.\u201cDug\u201d went down and anchored off second on the play.\u2018Shy\u2019\u2019 advanced him a base on an in- 9, à 3 ë (ODEN > SICK HEADACHE Positively

Griffin in centre introduced an entirely new act.Sandy started after Tommy's hit like a limited express.He went all right for about ten yards, when suddenly He Went Up in the air like au Indian at a

Expended in the Contests Between Great Britain and America\u2014Cost of Shamrock and Columbia.Tt is a common reproach of foreigners that the first question an American asks abecat anything is, \u201cWhat will it cost?There is no doubt that the average citizen of this continent does like to know what a thing means in a monetary way\u2014especially if it means pleasure\u2014for people on this side of the Atlantic do like to get a fair equivalent for their cash in some way or other.Therefore it is only natural that just now when the great yacht race\u2014a contest of the sort in which only the greatest of nations can indulge\u2014is in preparation, both Awerl- cans and Britons are asking: \u201cWhat will it cost to contest for this trumpery cup, worth so little in cash, but go much in glory?\u2019 The answer to this can be given only ap- oroximately.Directly it will cost in hard cash fully $1,500,000.Indirectly it will cost the people of the two nations many millions in loose change.In considering this matter it must be remembered that the primary cost of the yacht is one of the least factors.\u2018The Shamrock, with repairs, extra sails, anl alterations will, before the season is over, cost close to $200,000.The Columbia will cost about $25,000 more.lo run them for the season will cost each fully $50,000 mora.Then comes the real cost.In this must be counted the cost of the tenders, the trial boats, and many other targe incidental es- penses on this side of the ocean.1t has cost a small fortune to refit the Defender and keep her in trim and run her during the season, and this will make up an enormous {otal.The steam tender which accompanies the two yachts is even more expensive, While it can be justly claimed that Commodore Morgan's new steam yacht, the Cox- sair, was bhullt purposely that her owner and his fellows in the syndicate might at all times follow the Columbia, the primary cost of the Corsair was $400,000, and up to the close of the racinz season she will have necessitated the outlay of $50,000 more for expenses.Sir Thomas not a Yachtsiman.Sir Thomas Lipton was never consldered a yachtsman untll the present season.He never has before owned a yacht ot any kind.While his friends declare that he has always taken a general interest in the sport, his name was never mentioned in connee- tion with a pleasure craft until his challenge for the America's cup was announced by the Royal Ulster Yacht Club.and wis accepted by the New York Yaciit Club.1People who know declare that he joined the Royal Ulsters for the express purpose of inducing that organization to issue his challenge, and it is known that this is the first yacht club to claim him as a member.Not long ago Sir Thomas bought the steam yacht Aegusa, whose name he quickly changed to Erin, in hono- of his native land, and this vessel, according to present plans, will convey the Shamrock across the Atlantic.From her bridge her owner and a party of distinguished guests will watch the great international yacht .race.ani American yachtsmen will have an opportunity of comparing the Erin, built on the Clyde, with the Corsalr, constructed oun the Hudson.In most judgments the American craft is by far the handsomer of the two.Her design, however, can hardly be classed as native, for Beavor Webb, the naval ai- chitect who is responsible for her modei, Is an Irishman, who has been in business 1n the Tuited States since 1855.when his ~nt- ter Genesta, owned by Sir Richard Sutton, ras defeated by the Puritan.A simi-ar fate befel «his cutter Galatea, owned wy Lieut.Henn, R.N,, in 1886.Since that titnc Mr.Webb has designed a nuuiber of fine vessels for American millionaires, His Yacht Cost $373,000.The price pald by Sir Thomas Lipton for the Aegust was $375,000.The craft is pretty to look at, as well as fast and sea- worthy.She was designed, built, and en- gined hy Messrs.Scott & Co., of Greenock, for Commendatore Floria, an Italian yachtsman, in 1897.She is 264 feet over all, 252 feet on the loadwater line, with a Dea:1 of 31.65 feet and a depth of 18.5 feet.Her gross tonnage is 994.Her null, which ts of steel, was built up to the highest requirements of Lloyd's.She has a single seraw, which is propelled by triple expansion engines of 2,500 indicated horse-power, wich four cylinders of 24.40.and (two) 45 inches in diameter respectively.Steam is geuer- ated in two Scotch boilers with a working pressure of 180 pounds.The yacht is magnificently fitted up with the latest luxurious and fashionable equipment.She has been overhauled and refitted at an expense of $25,000 at Cowes.Yt is worth mentioning that the large saloon has been decorated with pictures of all the yachts that have contested for the America cup.The vacht carries a ship\u2019s campany of fifty, all to'd.The pay roll amounts to $300 a week.Nobody but the Herreshoffs, Commodore Morgan and Mr.C.Oliver Iselin know the exact cost of the Columbia.Those sharps who estimated her prime cost at more tnan $300,000 have evidently gone off at half cock.It must Dbe remembered that the yacht is simply a shell, her frames bet'ng of nickel steel, and her plating a thin fm of manganese bronze.She has no expensive interior fittings.In fact, she has no fittings at all: When one remembers that a superh, down-to-date.steel steam yacht ilke Corsair TI.204 feet on the water line, built up to the highest requirements at Lloyd's.with machinery of the finest and equipment most luxurious.can be built for $300.00.it seems ridiculous to assert that a bont ninety feet on the water line, with ahso- Iutely no garnishing below the decks, will cost as much to construet.In most judg: ments, and in that of sevérhl naval 'architects, $200,000 Is a liberal estimate, and affords a very large margin of profit for her builders.Mr.A.J.McVey, a yacht designer and writer of Boston, has compiled the follw- ing table, which he says shows not the lowest actual cost of the Columbia, but a very liberal one: To labor, 50 men, five months, mechanics $2.75, helpers $1.30.$15,000 Tobin bronze.nickel-plate.needed.12.290 Castings, holt], screws, ete.3.000 Frames, deck beams.ties.straps, etc.4,000 Steel spars, mast $1.000.hoom $1.300.gaff $1,100, bowsprit $600.4,000 Rigging.3.000 Blocks, aluminum straps.made.£009 Joiner work, hatches, companionways, fittings,.4.000 Pine deck, laid.3.000 Lead, ninety tons.R00 Sails, complete, and made.3.000 Total.$70.000 It shonld be remembered, however, thit the Hereschoffs have a reputation for ou- taining good prices for their work, and that Nat Herreshoft\u2019s fee for tha design wili De heuvy.Mr.Morgan will, therefore, pay as much as he has stated.The expenses of running the Columbia can be learned approximately by means of à little calculation.Her skipper will probably get $2,000 for the season, with, perhaps a handsome present if the Shamrock is defeated.The mate may be paid $100 a month.Lach of the 31 able seamen will ve paid 830 a month.The second mate will get $40 a month, and each of the four quai- termasters will he paid $35 a month.All of these were shipped at Deer Island, Me, and about half of them sailed on the Defender.The expenses for \u2018\u2019grubbing\u201d the crew will be ahout 50 cents a day for each man.It is understood that in all the races Columbia may happen to win this season the men will get $5 each for \u2018racing money,\u201d In the tabulated account of Commodore Morgan\u2019s expenses of the season the totar comes to $546,540.No allowance has beea made for deterioration, which is hard to estimate, nor for the Insurance of the Defender and Columbia, which would be high, if.indeed, underwriters would consent to take the risk.On the other nand, no deduction has been made of the $225,000 paid to Commodore Morgan by the Governnu:nt for Corsair II., although this allowance, perhaps, ought to Le subtracted from 0d ERALD\u2019S.Legal Directory | 2e

Captain ! Come long quick: beapy hole in rock \u201cI found him peering into what I took to be the entrance to a bear or fox den.I asked Lin how far he had gone in, and he replied about twenty feet, but that it was too dark to see anything.I told him we had not lost any bears or wild animals in the cave, and did not care to look for one fn so dangerous a place.Giving the China- man my revolver with which to back me up, I fired my Winchester several times into the cave.The renort sounded like a cannon, and I waited patiently for the ap pearance of some wild animal.Nothing came out, and we decided to go in.\u2018\u201c\u201c\u2018After clearing away some of a fresh rock slide that almost blocked the entrance and making an improvised torch, we entered the hole cautiously.With Lin in advance we crawled some six feet, and found ourselves in a sort of room.It was about twenty feet square, with a high rock in the centre which had evidently been used as a table.On the north side was a crude sort of fireplace.Going further back, we noticed the entrance to a soméwhat larger chamber.\u201cWe had no sooner entered this than I saw six balls of fire glaring out of the darkness directly ahead.Lin moved his light to one side, and by its glare I saw a monster form rise and come toward me with a rush.The beast was almost upon me before I remembered the \u2018Winchester.I raised the weapon, and with no aim pulled the trigger.As luck would have it, I killed the bear.\u201cIn the excitement I lost sight of Lin, vho was having a touch of excitement on his own account.He, too, had seen Dalls of fire approaching.He took one hurried shot with his revolver, but fired low, and hit the bear that was making for him tn the loin.He threw away the gun, and, whipping out his long cooking knife, pré- pared for a hand to hand struggle.Ms opponent, a half grown bear.was on him in an instant.The pair rolled over and over.Whenever Lin was on top he plunged his big knife in to the hilt.I could not shoot, as the Chinaman and the bear were tco mixed up.The Chinaman finally won out, but not until the flesh about his arms and limbs had been badly torn.The other cub was easily killed.We decided to return to the boat that night and send Lin and our dog drivers after the meat the next day.Found a Panorama.\u201cAs soon as the Arctic sky indicated a stretch of good weather Lin and I started out to investigate our discovery.We hauled two days\u2019 rations , an oil stove and blankets on a sled and found the cave with little trouble.The day was very cold and we were very tired after our five hours\u2019 trip.Lin soon had a refreshing dinner ready which he served on the ancient stone table.It was while smoking my pipe after this meal! that I chanced to notice the pe- cullar drawings on the walls, which made our discovery most interesting.\u201cAfter carefuliy brushing off the wall with some hay that we wore inside our Arctic socks, a carefully drawn panorama, which I judged to he the history of the people who occupied the cave in former times, was disclosed.The first scene, crawn in red on the white sandstone, was very plain, It showed three small boats, with three people in each, putting out on & stormy sea from a rugged coast.On the shore stood a crowd of people waving farewell.About three feet further along was another drawing in which the same thr3e DR.CODERRE'S RED PILLS PALE\u201cWEAK WOMEN 80X OF:5Q PILLS 50 CENIS boats figured.The boats had evidently clossed ine sea aud were landing on a iow shore .Between the pietures were drawings of whales, walrus and seuis.The tuird drawing was lour Icet Lrom the second and showed three boats coming up a wide river.\u201cAfter examining these scenes closely 1 came to the conclusion thut the natives bad crossed Bearing Seau aud come up cither tbe Yukon or nuskokwim river.Or it is quite probabie that the Yukon once towed along tbe buts in the side of which \u201cwe found wae cave, and entered the sed LY tbe passage now kLowu às the ls up- Over, furniture repaired.polished an dow bolstered, in firs:-class style;

MONTAGUE AND CAPULET.By Mary McHenry.At Christmas-time a woodchopper brought me a present which lie took from his pocket wrapped in a red handkerchief.His last present having been a little snake of a beautiful opalescent green color with a forked scarlet tongue that was always very much in evidence, I watched the unfolding of the handkerchief with curiosity mingled with some distrust.\u201cA mouse!\u201d I exclaimed, as I saw a pointed little nose and a palr of bright beady eyes.\u201cA squirrel,\u201d said my father.\u201cA flying squirrel,\u201d announced the chopper.\u201cNot much of a flying squirrel.Why, he hasn\u2019t any wings at all!\u201d sald young Richard, with his wise air, The squirrel had no wings, but an expansive skin stretching from fore leg to hind leg answered the purpose, and served to buoy him up in his long leaps from the tree-tops.The little creature in the woodsman\u2019s hands was smaller than a chipmunk, of a brownish-gray color, white underneath, with a big brush of a tall, and a coat finer and softer than anything I had ever touched except the back of a bat.The great difficulty was to find a cage for the frisky little feliow.First we tried a bird-cage.Like a gray flash he was out of that, flattening himself like a sheet of paper to slide between the wires.Then there was a great commotion.The feminine members of the family stood on chairs, held up their skirts, and schreeched shrilly, While the rest of us engaged in an excit- Ing chase after the extremely nimble and slippery pteromys.The woodchopper finally caught him, and fastened him up in a stoultly built wooden box with wire mosquito-netting tacked over conservatory opening from the dining-room, and I congratulated myself that my latest Christmas present was safely housed.The next morning that box was empty.The flying squirrel had gnawed a way through the wire netting.Later in the day he was found curled up among some dead leaves in an empty flower-pot.We left him alone there, placing some nuts near, and for nearly a week the little creature remained in strict seclusion, curled up under his bushy tail in the flower-pot.Then he began to venture out at night, running about over the shelves, and among the plants, scrambling up the windows, and sometimes taking a flying leap out into the dining-room.Thinking the dead geranium-leaves a poor substitute for the presumably luxurious furnishings of a hele in a tree, I placed some cotton and some dry pine-needles in the old flower-pot, and a very cozy retreat Mr.Flying Squirrel arranged out of the material thus provided.He constructed a cave approached by a tunnel, so that the only way to be sure whether he was at home or not was to stick your finger through the cotton roof of the cave, If he was there, you zot a convincing nip from the long, sharp teeth, Two weeks later, the woodchopper brought Me a second flying squirrel out of the same hollow chestnut where he had found the first.Since tliey had lived in the same tree, we felt sure that the two squirrels must be near relatives, or at least intimate friends.We were anxious to witness their joy upon being reunited.; Bnt they failed to manifest any joy.When the newcomer was placed in the conservatory, he scuttled up the side of a window as fast as he could.The other firing squirrel seuttled up another window as fast as he could, without stopping to welcome the long-lost brother.There they sat and glared at each other for three days, They chattered and chir-r- rd in shriil defiance, deadly wrath shown in every twitch of their sensitive whiskers.We were convinced that the fatal mls- take had been made of bringing together two deadly enemies in that narrow room, members no doubt of rival families among the flying squirrels.Our member of the Shakespeare Club named them Montague and Capulet, and, for want of anything clse, so we continued to call them.There was great suspense and excitement during the time the sharp-toothed little creatures under the roof of the conservatory sat and watched each other as two lions on the verge of mortal combat might watch.We feared they might fight it out while we slept.And so it was; the crisis came and passed unnoticed.One morning the tops of the windows were empty : Montague and Capulet had disappeared ! I looked for scattered fur, biondy footprints, marks of a hard-fought battle, and quite expected to find the niangled corpses of both my lately con- guered pets.What I did find when at last I gently peeped under the cotton in the old flowerpot was this: two little flying squirrels cozily curled up in the same nest.Montague\u2019s fore legs were lovingly laid across Capulet\u2019s neck, and the pink tip of Capulet\u2019s little nose poked out contentedly trom under Montagué's shoulder.I replaced the cotton, fecling that I was only an eavesdropper after all, After that the squirrels lived together, apparently well content with each other and with their surroundings.\u2018They slept all day in their nest of cotton, and scampered about among the plants and through the house all night.It is the habit of flying squirrels to feed and travel about principally at night.They were very sliy.Remembering former success in the taming of a gray squirrel, we were disappointed at the difficulty of gaining the confidence of our little pets.They learned to take a nut from my fingers, but would not submit to any fa- wiliarity in the way of handling or fondling.At the approach of strangers they would whisk out of sight and hide among the flower-pots.They were as unsatisfactory as small children in that\u201dwe were never able to show them off \u201cbefore folks.\u201d With all their friskiness they did but little damage to the plants among which they lived.It was one of our pleasures to watch their graceful and amusing antics as they chased each other over the shelves and flower-stands, After a time they would venture into the dining-room In the evening, when the lamps were lighted, and entertain us hy an exhibition game of tag around the cornices and over the pictures and tops of the cupboards.But it was when the house was dark that they had their fun.They would seamper through all the rooms, and chase each other madly up and down the banisters.Then, if you had not shut your bedroom door and fastened the transom, there was likely to come a scratching and scampering and a tip-tip-tipping across the carpet.Then a rustling among the papers on your desk toid that your midnight visitor was eating the latest letter from your dearest friend, or a crash on the Lureau left you sure of the destruction of your favorite perfumamyottle, Or there ryight follow a scrambling up the head- beard of the bed, a rush through the air over your head, a thud on the counterpane, and the pat of four little feet galloping away over your recumbent body.Oh, there is fun in having a pair of frolicsome firing squirrels thoroughly at home in a house! Sometimes they forgot themselves or were overtaken by drowsiness during their nigtt- ly romping, and would go to sleep in the fold of a curtaln or in a convenient slipper.One morning, as an aged and highly respected guest of the house was putting on his fur cap in the hall, there came a mighty vell.There stood the dear old gentleman staring blankly into his cap, and there, on top of his gray head.sat Montague winking and blinking at being so rudely arousad from a pleasant nap.As warm weather came on, the troublesome question was, What to do with the flving squirrèls during the summer ?With the doors and windows standing open they could not be kept fe the house, and es- | ror, cape about the grounds meant their almost certain destruction in the claws of some prowling cat.To shut the active little creatures in a cage seemed a poor return for the pleasure they had given us during the winter: besides, it was doubtful if we could find a cage from which they would not manage to escape.One fine day we put them into a covered basket and carried them out to the woods on the hillside near the place where they had been captured.When the bas- Ket was opened they sat for a moment twitching their whiskers, then whisked out and seampered off across the grass, without a backward look or a single chirp of thanks for their winter's board and lodging.\u2014\u2014 THE ENCHANTED PRINCESS.By Clara J.Denton, There was once upon a thine a queen named Agnes who was very unhappy De- cause her son was about to marry a beautiful but ill-tempered princess, \u201cHe cannot be happy with her; I know he cannot,\u2019 she would moan to herself in the still hours of the night as she lay awake brooding over the future.But one night, after several hours of anx- lous tossing, she fell asleep, and a dream so beautiful came to her that when she awoke in the morning a happy smile was on her lips.She lay quietly thinking for a few minutes, and then she sald to herself, softly: \u201cI'll try it.\u2019 3 She crept out of bed and seated herself upon the floor.This was not an easy task for her, for the swiftly flying years had made her quite stout, and a little stiff in the joints, But she did not mean to be overcome by trifies.As soon as she was comfortapty seated she closed her eyes and said aloud, but very softly: \u201cFairy, fairy Lovelight, with the wand of gold, Come and do my bidding ere the day grows 0 , Then she waited, and In a few minutes she heard a soft rustling behind her.She turned her head and saw in a larze chair near by a dimpled, chubby little woman wrapped in a long gray cloak and looking at her with kindly eves.\u201c80 you obeyed my dream-children?\u201d\u2019 said the little woman.' answered the queen, \u2018\u2018of course I There was nothing else to do.\" \u201c\u2018Umph!\u201d said the little woman, crossly; and then she began to grow smaller and smaller, until the queen, fearing she wonld disappear entirely, threw her arms out toward her and begged: \u201cOh, don\u2019t go vet.\u201d \u201cI am not going,\u201d said the falry.\u201cTI AM only growing smaller because I am offended.\u201d \u201cOh!\u201d said the queen, ready to cry, \u2018I vnderstand, and, indeed, I don\u2019t wonder that you are offended.It was certainly neither kind mor polite to say what I did, but I am sure you will forgive me when you know how desperate my situation is.\u201d \u201cI know all about it,\u201d said the little woman, who, being mollified by the quean\u2019s ready apology, was now rapldly regaining her natural size.\u201cIf I hadn't known all about Ît, I should not have taken the trouble to send my dream-sprites to you.I am the fatry Love- light for whom you were cammg.I have always looked after the Hioldern ramiiy, and now that this trouble for your son Theobald is so near at hand, it seemed best for me to interfere.But before we go any further.suppose you get up and sit in a chair.I am sure you will be more comfortable, and as I only ordered you to sit on the floor to test your obedience, it is quite useless for you to remamn tnere any longer.\u2019* Although it had been hard for the queen to sit down on the floor, it was much harder for her to rise from it.She made two or three vain attempts, and finally, as a last resort.caught at the large cnalr In which the fairy sat, and by its help, after much tugging and groaning, managed to stand upright.She had been so absorbed in her struggles that she had not noticed her visitor, but now, as she turned her eyes that way, she saw, to her horror aud amazement, that the small figure had grown so large that lt nearly reached to the ceiling.At this unexpected transformation the queen stood transfixed to the ftoor mn ter- gazing with frightened eyes at the rapidly growing form.Presently her wits returned to her, and she turned to flee from the room.Then the fairy calle® out, in her soft, silvery voice: \u201cCome back, come back! you have nothing to fear.\u201d Slowly the queen returned, keeping her eves warily on the fairy, however, who now hegan to dwindle away very fast.\u201cYou are weak-hearted indeed,\u201d sne said, \u2018to run from a little thing like tnat.I was only laughing.\u201d \u201cLaughing!\u201d exclaimed the great amazement.\u201cYes: you have seen that when I am queen, in | offended I grow smaller; by the same rule I grow larger when I :üm pleased or amused.That is my way of both smiling and laughing.\u201d \u201cOh!\u201d %ald the queen, \u201cthen I suppose one can tell, by the rate at which you expand, the amount of pleasure you reel?\u201d \u201cExactly,\u201d said the fairy; \u201cyou really catch the idea very cleanly.\u201cThen you must have been greatly pleased just now, though I cannot Imagine what you found to laugh at,\u201d \u201cIf you could have seen yourself getting up from the floor!\u201d said the fairy, beginning to expand again.\u201cOh, well, never mind, never mind,\u201d said the queen, much annoyed.and seeretly think- Ing the fairy a very rude person; \u2018we will let that pass.I dare sav I was a funny sight, but I am sure you did not come here simply to see me show mv awkwardness.I am sure vou can and will help my poor child Theobald.\u201d ® \u201cTL will try,\u201d said the falry, who had by this time returned to her natural size.\u201cbut it is not an easy thing to do.The Princess Salome, whom your son wishes to marry, Is enchanted by a wicked falry.Y don't know what would become of you poor mortals if it were not for the law In fatry- land that for every evil enchantment placed upon vou there exists a counter one that makes it powerless if the person happens to hit upon it.But if it should be revealed to him or her by any one, it loses Its power.Do you understand?\u2019 \u201cOh, yes,\u201d said the queen: \u2018you mean that if you should go to the Princess ana tell her what to do, she could not be helned hy obeving vou.\u201d \u201cYes,\u201d said the fairy, \u201cthat is it; we must Manage matters in some way so that the Princess will not only want to do the thing that will help her, but will carry it out fully, without any advice or command from any one; and, of course, it remains with you to arduse this desire.\u201d \u201cOh, I will do anything, anything,\u201d promised the queen quickly \u201cThere is another difficulty,\u201d continued the fairy.\u201cIf the enchantment is not broken, before the close of her twentieth birthday.there is fio power that can effect it until her thirtieth birthday.\u201d \u201cOL!\u201d sobbed the queen, \u201cand her birthday is so near!\u2019 \u201cFortunately,\u201d continued the fairy, hopefully, \u2018\u2018the charm requires but one day in whieh to work.Now listen, for my time is almost up, and I cannot repeat the directions.This is the charm that will save the Princess, From the time she is dressed in the morning until she is undressed for the night, she must not spend one idle moment.It is of no consequence what her work may be, but she must keep at it continually, pausing only for her mcals.If she can do this for one whole day between now and the close of her twentieth birthday, her evil temper will be gone, and she will be the most charming princess in the round world.Her character will be as beautiful as her face.\u201d \u201cIt sounds very simple,\u201d said the queen, with a sob, \u201cbut I fear it can never be done.You kndbw, of course, that the Princess is as idle as though she were dead.She never did a single useful thing in her life.\u201d \u201cI know it, and if she spent some of her energy in work, she wouldn't have so much to waste in temper.But now my time is up, and you must manage as best you can.\u201d There was a soft, whizzing sound, a tiny spark of light that went out in a second, and the queen was once more alone.Then you may he sure she set her wits to work.She thought and thought, planned and studied, and by and by she had an inspiration.The next day the court ladies were all summoned to the queen's presence, and she made them this little speech: \u201cT have invented a new sort of quilt which will be useful to poor people, and I want to begin one right away, so that they may become the fashion before winter sets in; but I must have your help.Therefore I ask you to bring to me to-morrow as great a variety as possible of small pieces of silk and satin.The one who brings the largest and best collection shall have à ball given in her honor as soon as the quilt is finished.\u201d The queen\u2019s next move was to invite the Princess to be present on the following day to help her to decide on the claims of the various collections.By this means the Princess was present when the queen commenced what she called a \u2018\u2018crazy quilt,\u201d which had never even heen heard of before.As the good queen had hoped, the Princess Salome became infatuated with the beautiful \u2018\u2018crazy quilt,\u201d and declared her intentior.to make one \u2018some day.\u201d Then the wise queen told her that if she would work with her she might have the beautiful and novel quit for her own when it was finished.It took the Princess nearly a whole day to make up her mind, but, as every lady at court had begun one of the new-fash- foned quilts, she was caught on the wave, and rose one morning so full of thoughts about the silk \u201ccrazy quilt\u201d that she could hardly wait to begin it.The good queen kept close beside her all day, fearing every moment that the natural indolence of the Princess would assert itself and thus destroy all her hopes.But the Princess worked on ail on, scarcely stopping to eat until the clock struck the midnight hour.Then, you may be sure, the good queen went to bed with a quiat mind.When the quilt was finished, the queen sent a herald to proclaim through the land that there should be a week of feasting and rejoicing.Great merrymaking followed.Everybody was given a holiday: even the poorest wood cutter in the land took part in the general oy.Many people wondered why there should he so great a celebration over the introduction of a new-fashioned quilt, even though it were useful to people who wanted to yse up bits of scraps.But Queen Agnes kept her own counsel, and no one knew all that the quilt meant to her: for the enchantment was broken, and Salome ever afterward was both sweet- tempered and industrious.G00 0000000020000 0000000 SELECTED.\u2014+-+-+-+-e+-\u2014-+-0- 0-0.WHAT MADE THE DIFFERENCE.The new boy was sitting on a big stone post at the foot of his driveway, when Peter drove the cows to pasture.\u2018\u201c\u2018Hallo !\u201d drawled Peter, slowly by._ \u201c\u2018Hallo !\"\u2019 sald the new boy, pleasantly.*\u201cCome fishin\u2019, will\u201d you ?\u201d \u2018\u201c\u201cCan\u2019t,\u201d drawled Peter.\u201cI've got to work !

The doors were all closed, so that ft couldn\u2019t get out of the room, but it could run so fast and dodge so quickly that not one of them could get near it.\u201cI'll go and get the cat,\u201d said Harold.He ran out of the room, and soon came back with the cat: but just as he came in, the mouse slipped cut, and that was the last ever seen of the it.Whether it ran down stairs and out of the open door, or whether it found some safe hiding-place, no one ever knew.But whenever any one heard a mouse gnawing, or found a nibbled apple, the_boys would say: \u2018\u2018I guess that was Aunt Kate's mouse I wonder how it likes Springfield?\u2019 LITTLE-OH-DEAR.See what a wonderful garden is here, Planted and trimmed for my Little-Oh- Dear!

Should Never Have Been Accepted, Sir,\u2014Having read carefully the entire dls- cussion in the House of Commons in reference \u2018to the\u2019 militia contracts, \u2018and as entirely disinterested parties, and as wholesale manufacturers of over twenty years\u2019 experience in this city, we feel iustified.-in stating our opinion in this matter, which we know must interest every citizen of this country.That the militia of this country have been so long silent and accepted the clothing furnished Ly the department is to us a mystery, for a glance at the kind worn for years past, and which has been made by country hands at low, starvation prices, justifies us In saying that it certainly was the poorest furnished by any solvent country in the world.Is there a single manufacturer that will.testify that clothing can be made by women in the couatry, as well as by skilled labor obtainable only in large cities?Aud why should not our militia have clothing, uniform, properly made, and with a semblance of fitting?late efforts were made by the Department of Militia and Defence to improve the style of uniforms, and now when union factories were opened and skilled labor employad, and the clothing no doubt made up properly, having an entirely different appearance, a hue and cry is raised that the contractor \u20183 overpald and the Government swindled.How members of the House of Commons, without any knowledge whatever of how clothing is made, can attempt to hlame the Government for any partiality and the ig- roring of low tendecers, is conclustve proof in itself that they do so to gain notoriety, aid to satisfy sonie contractor left mm the cold.The Government should pay no heed to howling, but keep right on making its clothing for the militia in the very best possible manier, and imitate the mother country.where no expense is spared, and where clothing is made under Government supervision, by competent skilled tabor.A Wholesale Clothier.pp tern AN ANTI-PROTECTION LETTER.Editor of the Herald: Sir,\u2014The very substantial increase in our customs revenue which followed the reduction in duties in 1897 and 1899 sbould allay the fears of those who asserted that such reductions would result in a loss of revenue and force the Government to resort to some form of direct taxation.As it becomes generally known that a reduction in productive duties, no matter In what country enforced, results in an increase of revenue, the main objection, as far as Canada is concerned, of getting back to a revenue tariff will diminish.; We have but to trace the influence shen reductions must have on effective demand to understand why it Is that an increased revenue from imports results.To do this we must keep in mind two well established facts, namely, that about 90 per cent.of the people are wage-earners, and that about the same proportion live up to their income.A good deal of the confusion which sur vounds many economic questions might Le nvoided were these two facts kept in mina.With our eyes- open to our surroundings, and these facts before us, a simple but logical explanation of the seeming anomaly ts possible.We all know that after the Fielding tariff was brought downea general scaling down of prices took place.In 1898 when the preferential duties went into full force this scaling down process was repeated.Now inasmuch \u2018as 90 per cent of the people spend all the money they have, whether prices are high or low, this scaling down would immediately give rise to a proportionate increase in effective demand.To supply the increased quantity demanded would certainly require an increase in the number of persons engaged in production and distribntion\u2014thus decreasing the nuvwm- ber of the unemployed.A decrease in the number of unemployed invariably forces wages to rise.We have, therefore, as a necessary result of the lowering of the tariff, an enormous increase of the number in receipt of wages find an actual increase in the average wages of those who were employed prior to the reduction.The degree to which these improvements In the position of the wage-earners inust have Influenced effective demand may be nnderstool when we consider the simple, but not very well understood fact, that all the wealth of things produced each year by the community represents, less a small fraction, the amount of wages paid for thelr actual production and distribution.Judging from an estimate of the annual production of our farms made by an official of the Agricultural Department the annual production of wealth from all sources In Canada must be in the neighborhood of $1.500,000,00.Now, as thls sum roughly represents wages paid by employers and wages paid to those who employ themselves and pay themselves out of the proceeds cf the things they produce, it is easy to understand why an increase in the average number and pay of the wage-earners under contract, and an increase in the purchasing power of wages generally, which a decrease In the price of commoditles necessarily ln- volves, must have produced the business activity that has characterized it last, and the first ten months of the present fiscal year.The general increase In the wages and in the number of people In receipt of wages enables the community as a whole to spend more money in the purchase of the cheapened commodities than they coula possibly spend when wages were lower, wage-earners, fewer, and prices higher.Imports would increase in proportion to the Increased purchasing power of the people.Allowing for all conditions under which production is carried on.it is easy to see that the Fielding tariff must have increased the purchasing power \u2018of wages fully 20 Per cent.Assuming the aggregate annual production of wealth to be $1,507.000.000 prior to the reduction of the tariff, this nerease of 20 per cent.in the purchasing bower of wages would give rise in the course of a year to a demand over and above what, up to this point.had been called for of some $300,000,030 worth of commodities.- The extra hands necessary to produce and distribute this increased quantity is sufi- cient to account for the decrease in the number of the unemployed, and consequent Increase in wages which has occurred since that tariff was put in force.This Increased demand has kept our own engines Of production and distribution busy beyond their ability to supply it.thus forcing us to increase\u201d our orders abroad.Hence the Increased revenue from imports.Manv influences are at work under the conditions produced hy onr yet excessive protective tariff vchicH will tend to check the expansion of onr foreign trade for the next vear, and must shorten the period of ovr present spell of prosperity.The most unfavorable ecircuinstance we have to contend with at present is the rapid expansion of our protected industries and the formation of trusts and combines known to be going on.Al protected manu- Tacturers and their advoecat=s, hoth fn and out of Parliament, maintain that in the fhsence of protective tariffs their products Would sell for less than {it costs to produce them, and there can he little doubt Of the truth of this contention, This contention of the manufacturers be- Ing true.a considerable percentage of the total output of all our protected industrial establishments must represent an actual destruction of the wealth of the community.Phis destruction of wealth is represented by the difference between cost of produe- tion under protection, and what the selling Price of the ame products would be in the Absence of protection.-Assuming the output of our protected În- flustrial establishments to be $300,000.000 for the current fiscal vear (about the total for 1801), and the difference between cost of production under protection and the felling price in the absence of protection to be 10 per cent., the wealth destroyed by these nrotected establishments would equal $30,000.000 during tde year.thus contracting the purchasing power of the community to that extent.Under present conditions we know the output of these industries to be lucreasing enormously, necessarily retarding the expansion of the profit-prodne- Ing undertakings, from which all the âlis- burcements of the community must be drawn, It should he kept in mind that the protected industries are.like the Government.the idle and indigent, a charge on those citizens in our midst who devote themselves to the production of things which would sell for more than cost of production In the absence of protection.dieting these facts, it may De pre- icted with some degree of certainty that ot i distance.our revenue on imports for the next fiscal Year will show less buoyancy and trade generally less expansion than was expert enced during the past two years.Could we get the tariff below the protective point, our expansion in population, wealth, manufactures and trade would be rapid beyond the dreams of the most san- gulne.Under such conditions, all Indua- tries would add wealth to the state, for those that did not would be qulekly adan- doned.H.Washington.Ottawa, July 21, 1899.teats LEARN TO SWIM, COST WHAT IT WILL Editor of The Herald: Sir \u2014To avoid further cases of drowning, as occurred last week, I think it will be very useful for the many readers of The Herald to publish in the next issue of your valuable paper, the following rules\u2019 for accidents on water: When upset in a-boat or thrown into the water and unable to swim, draw the breath In well, keep the mouth tight shut, do not struggle and throw the arms up, but yield quietly to-the water; hold the nead well up and stretch out the hands only below the water; to throw the hands or feet up will Pitch the body head .dosn and cause the whole person to go immedidtely under water.Keep the head above, and everything else under water, Everyone should learn to swim; no animal, aquatic fowl or reptlle requires to be taught this, for they do it naturally.Few persons exist who have not at some time or other seen a bullfrog perform his masterly movements in the water, apd it would detract from no one\u2019s dignity to take a few lessons from him.In learning, the beginner might sustain himself by a plank, a block of wood, an attachment composed of cork, an inflat®l bladder, a flylng kite or a stout cord attached to a long rod held by an assistant on the land.I repeat again: Learn to swim, cost what it will, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 PANTALEON STREET.a Kditor of The Herald : Sir,\u2014A notice signed by Mr.Robb, City Treasurer, has just been received by a certain number of proprietors interested requesting them to settle without further delay the special tax imposed on their properties with regard to the costs of expropriation of this street, and further stating that the contestation of the special roll has been decided in favor of the city.Has it become necessary to resort to subterfuge at the City Hall in order to extort money from the real estate owners?Let it be known to those interested that absolutely no judgment has been rendered in this matter, except, perhaps, by the magnates at the City Hall.The municipal elections are not very far off, and perhaps the aldermen may be too daring in counting on the continued apathy of the electors.It has been admitted for the last few years that the personnel of the City Hall, hoth administrative and clerical, was the enemy of the citizens, and a great wave of dislike is gradually growing against this house, where so much iniquity is hatched.The bomb will explode of necessity one of these days; in the meantime let us look into this famous Pantaleon street question.According to Vie.57, ch.57, the last law with reference to this matter, the cost of the widening of Pantaleon street must be paid one-half by the proprietors of the district fixed Ly the expropriation commissioners.Pantaleon street has not been widened except for about one-half of its total length: the balance has been opened up across ground where no vestige of a street previously existed.The case of Pau- taleon street is analogous to that of Lu- gauchetiere street, near the C.P.Railway station, in which case the courts decided that \u2018the words enlarging or widening were not synonymous with the lengthening of a street or the opening up of new ground as a continuation of an old one.The case of Beaudry.stréet, continued from Craig street to Notre Dame, is still before the courts, and certainly if the sam of $163,000 given by the law to the City Council for the construction of the Brock street tunnel \u2018was found insuflicient, it is no reason to force the real estate owners of the district to furnish the balance necessary to correct the false estimates of the engineers, The law does not allow thé alteration of the limits of such a district.As to Pantaleon street, the distriet cannot be called to pay for any part except that actually.widened, and not for the continuation of the said street, which sald continuation could only be made on the demand of the majority in value and number of the fronting proprietors.At the City Hall it is known that the citizens are not formed into a compact mass to resist this kind of thing, and advantage is taken of this fact to despoil them little by little, especially is this the case of proprietors.f real estate.\u201cwe moy also add that the strictly legal aspect of the position assumed by the City Hall in this matter is sufficiently doubtful to warrant their looking twice into the matter before launching the city in a suit against any citizen capable of defending their pretensions.himself against p M oprictor.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE NATIONAL GRAIN ROUTE.Kditor of 'The Herald: ne ue sir \u2014For some years past the cons - tion of n line of railway from Georglan Fay to Toronto has been advocated, and especially so during the past year by the newspapers, the City Council, the Board of 'I'rade and the citizens generally of Toronto.The object of this railway Is to open up the shortest route for grain from tiie head of navigation on the Upper Laises to ocean navigailon at Montreal, utilizing the minimum of land and maximum orf vater carriage.* ds line of railway\u2014generally known as the Air Line\u2014would probably be built fron: Collingwood to Toronto, as being the shortest portage between Georgian Bay ana Lake Onthrio, as well as being a route without any obstacles in the way of cou- struction and with easy grades.This railway, in connection with lake vessels of the largest capacity on Upper fakes, and between Toronto and Montreal, and connecting again at the latter place with ocean steamships, would be 1 a position to offer through rates Iron Chicago, Duluth, Fort William, etc, to Liverpool, Glasgow and other ports Tha could successfuliy compete with any grain route on the continent, and not only so, but reduce the cost of the transport on grain to such an extent as to be of immense benefit to the western farmer, The question of through rates would hold good as regards hmports destined for western cou- sumption.With all our natural advantages Cun- ada gets but a small proportion.of tne grain trade of the west, some 27,000,000 of bushels last reason, as compared win pearly 250,000,000 of bushels, passing through Buffalo alone.: It would seem that this scheme, ofTer- ing as it would a large saving In time, and freight rates, to tne rest, increasing the carrying trade or the Dominion and the business of its chlet cities Is a matter that might well be urges ou the attention of the Dominion Government, and on those of the provinces us Ontario and Quebec.If the Montreal Board of Trade were to heartily join the Toronto Board in urging the Gorernments to aid this project as a national undertaking, it would not be long before it was consummated.This route: would not interfere with trat- fic of the present Trunk lines, except, perhaps, as te rates, as it would introauce a new volume of trade into the Dominion.Unfortunately I am not able to enter into firures, as all my original estimates, tanies of distances, rates.etc., are in the easr, put I have no doubt all those particulars wili be furnished from Toronto.A feature of this route that might be worth mentioning, and that\u2019 is a cargo of grain arriving in Collingwood in tne morning would be on its way down Laxe Ontario to Montreal in the evening.I am, Yours truly, Frank Moberly.Loss:anu, Juiy, 1899.; pre i EXPERIMENTAL FARMS, Editor of The iJerald: | A Sir, \u2014 reat deal that is nncomplH- po nog Intely been said

As long as such ideas prevail as those advocated hy the True Witness correspondent, just so long will the corrupt nature of Montreal's clyvic affairs be the talk of the whole Dominion.The numerous expositions of the rottenness of Montreal's municipal machinery set before the public by past year or two should act as a deterrent to any such scheme as that advocated by the correspondent.The common-sense method is to elect the Dest business \u2018men that can be induced to come forwardss.no.\u2018matter of what race or creed\u2014men who would have the interest of every inhabli- tant of the city at heart, and not those who would narrow down their labors for the benefit of one-sixth of the population.The writer complains that two or three offices which were once filled by Irish Catholics, who have since passed away, are now occupied by members of other races or creeds.If these departments are not being administered to the satisfaction of the publie, then he has a perfect right to protest, but the ground to take is not one of race or creed.The only qualifications which the people should look for in an aspirant to a seat at the Council board should be capability, honesty and integrity, and when all classes of citizens realize this and eliminate the race and religion question from civic polities, the necessity for The.Heralll to open up subscription lists for the purpose of keeping the streets in a respectable condition will cease.H.St.V.Montreal, July 31.terra THE ECONOMICAL GOLFER.[ do not practice with a cleek, And scar the lawn like any vandal, But limber up my muscles with My umbrella handle.i I do not \u201cputt\u201d into a hole That makes the grass look brown and gloomy, But into a tomato can, Whose open end is roomy.When missing strokes I do not waste Swear words as lurld as a garnet, But rest content with milder terms, Like \u201cHully smoke!\u201d and \u201cDarn it!\u201d Nor do I squander pennies on Real caddies that are bad and muggy But place reliance on my dear Beloved little Puggy.And when I'd practice my address, Unlike some wasteful scions, I do not use a brand new ball, But whack the dandelions.\u2014Harper\u2019s Bazaar.G Welling Presents D at Reasonable Prices.Silverware of Every Description Watches, Clocks, Jewellery, etc.REPAIRING DONE ON THE PREMISES JOHN WATSON, À 2174 St.Catherine St., Art Ass\u2019n Building.Opp.Bible House.SUMMER JEWELLERY.We place before you the choicest line of summer jewellery ever shown.These articles have been seletted with great care and represent the very latest and most unique designs of the season.And they are by no means dependent oon handsome appearance for th®ir attractiveness.The high standard of quality will cer- :ainly provo à strong point in their favor.Narcisse Beaudry & Sons, 270 ST.LAWRENCE ST.Electric Signs.Advertise your business with electric signa which is the cheapest and most effective method of advertising.Special rates on appli- catica.Lachine Rapids Hydraulle ana Land Co., Limited.NOMINION PIANO, We hold the exclusive agency of the Dominion Organ and Piano Co., Limited, of Bowmanville, Ont.The Dominion Piano occupies a foremost position on the market for its universally recognized superiority.Inspection Invited.FOISY FRERES, 1760 to 1766 St.Catherine St.COAL OIL \u201cCrown Acme?\u201d Brand is a Water-White Oll, made expreesiy for Family use.It is entirely free from Sulphur and gives a brigkt white flame without smoke or smell.Sold at a lower price than American oll.Ask Your Dealer for It, \"he Herald during the | Quotations and samples furnished to the Trade on application to The Imperial Oil Co, Limited Board of Trade Bldg., Montreal.Telephones 5332 ani S99.Main.To the.WALL PAPER TRADE, 1899-1900 Our New Line is complete.Our Colorings are rich and beautiful and our designs popular.Our Travellers are now on the road,and it will be to the interest of every wall paper dealer in Canada to see our samples.They are the most attractive we ever produced.Wait for them.COLIN McARTHUR - & C0, Montreal Wall Paper\u2019 Factory 1030 NOTRE DAME ST., MONTREAL: HOTELS.ST.LAWRENCE HALL 185 to 189 St.James Street, MONTREAL HENRY HOGAN, Proprietor.The best ¥uown hotel in the Dominion.Baumorat CASTLE HOTEL DONTREAL, American Pian.\u2026.§200 to $4 00 European Plan.$100 to $250 Free \u2018Bus to and from all trains and boats.THE ST.ELMO.Cor.of McGill and Recollet Streets.The Best 25¢ Dinner in the city.BEST ALES, WINE sand PORTER on draught or in boitle.Polite Attention.Prompt Service.THE GROVE, BEACONSFIELD.REDUCED RATES\u2014SEASON 1899 Cottage, containing 4 bedrooms, sitting rcom, bathroom, etc., furnished complete, $160.Board, $6.00 per week;

First-class return 7s.6d.It was ridiculously cheap.What a glorious ldea it would be to go down and spend the day by the sea! All the way down in the train the bishop felt his spirits rising.When he reached Sandwell-on-Sea, if it had not been for the traditional costume he wore, Dr.Carhart would have been quite capable or buying a spade and bucket, and proceeding at once to the serious business of building castles on the shore.As it was, he confined himself to wandering about the little town, and discovering the many changes that had taken place.At last, he found himself upon the beach, hot and dusty, and somewhat tired.The bathing men were busy with the machines: the tide would not be full for an hour or two, and only a few of them were occupied.An irresistible longing for the watér came over the bishop.It was years since be had tried to swim, but he felt full of vigour and confidence, and decided to indulge himself.As Dr.Carhart approached the bathing vans he smiled to himself on recognizing how exactly his feelings resembled those of the schoolboy fifty years ago.When the bishop emerged from his machine he took note that there were only three others at the water's edge, and that his was at the end of the row.The numbers were rather difficult to dccipher, as the paint had\u2018peeled off in places, but he made out that his van was numbar five, and that the others were all in double figures, This point settled, he abandoned himself to the enjoyment of his bath.It certainly was a glorious day.The water, which had crept slowly in over the sun-dried sand, was deliciously warm.Sandwell has a perfect beach.It slopes so gradually that timid bathers can swim for a long stretch without getting out of depth.The bishop found, after a little practice, that he could go for quite a long distance, without stopping.If he got a little out of breath, that was only because he had put on a good deal of flesh since last he bathed in the sea.And even that had its advantages, for he found he was much bigber in the water than when he was a boy.The number of bathers had greatly increased by the time the bishop was ready to go ashore, and the line of bathing boxes straggled along the beach nearly as far as the rocks.Number five had been drawn back a little way as the tide advanced, and it now had a row of hoxes beyond it on the left, while those on the right had been drawn np, high and dry, half an hour before.Dr.Carhart signalled to the bathing man, and presently he, too, was drawn up on tn the shingle.\u2018Phe horse had barely been unyoked.and the bishop was divesting himself of his wet bathing suit, when he made a dreadful discovery; he had got into the wrong box! He hastily wrapped the towels round him, and called to the man to come back.\u201cMy man,\u201d said Dr.Carhart, \u201cI am sorry to trouble you, bnt I have made a mistake in the number, and I find { am in the wrong box.\u201d \u201cWhat number was yours, sir?\u2019 asked the man.\u201cNumber five,\u201d said the bishop.\u201cThis here is number five.\u201d \u201cThe number was very indistinet,\u201d said the bishop, \u201cI may have been mistaken.But it was a single number, certainly, and there cannot be many now in the water that look at all like five.Go down, like a good fellow, and see if you cannot discover the right one.You will very easily identify my clothes.I am the Bishop of Graytown, and you will see my gaiters near the door.\u201d \u201cOh, come, that won\u2019t do!\u201d said the man, looking very wise all at once.\u201cWe hain\u2019t been so crowded with bishops as all that.We 'ad a bishop, a very pleasant gent, early on.I drawed him out of the water myself \u2019arf an hour back.He's gone this long time, galters and all.\u201d Dr.Carhart surveyed the garments that lay in confusion in a corner of the van, and a light broke in upon him.«He has stolen my clothes,\u201d he said to himself, with conviction, \u201cWhat was the number of his box?\u2019 He asked, after a moment.\u201cNumber three.\u201d \u2018It may have been a mistake\u2014at first, The numbers are very much alike,\u201d said the bishop to himself again.Then he add: ed, aloud: \u201cWhat was he like, this bishop?\u201d \u201cA very nice gent,\u201d sald the man.\u201cAn he tipped you a shilling like as if he was giving the benediction.There wasn\u2019t no mistake about him.He was a bishop, every Inch of him.\u201d The man's manner had become slightly aggressive, and Dr.Carhart judged it wise to draw in his head, and to don the clothes that had been left in place of his own.At least he must have some decent covering before he could make any further enquiries.\u2018Tne clathes fitted him fairly weil, that was some comfort; but they were anything but clean, and it was only after a good deal af hésitation that as be left the machine he found himself arrayed in a pepper-and-salt suit, a colored shirt, a \u201cdickey,\u201d\u201d and a red tie\u2014a very different garb from that in which he entered it.Dr.Carhart has admitted since that the great mistake he made at this point was in not going direct to the police station.He did not at once realize the importance of losing no time, and he still had a lingering hope that he might find his clothes in one of the other bathing vans.He paced backwards and forwards along the beach many times, and went up to each van as it came out of the water.He met with no syun- pathy in his quest.Some of the bathers were simply angry, and others treated the enquiry as a joke.At one van, however, there seemed to be a ray of hope.\u2018The occupant, a fair-hair- ed, pleasant-looking young man, listened to the bishop's question, which had by this time become a formula, with every appear- alice of interest.\u201cA bishop's dress?\u201d he repeated, thoughtfully; -\u2018gaiters?\u201d\u2019 \u201cYes, yes.\u201d \u201cHigh up, choke-you sort of thing round bere?\u201d indicating his neck.The bishop nodded.\u201cI'it a stoutish figure?\u201d \u201cExactly I\" The bishop's excitement had become intense.\u201cNo,\u201d remarked the young man, \u2018there's nothing of that kind in this box.I wish\u2019 I could oblige you, I'm sure.I don\u2019t know where you will pick up a rig-out of that description, unless you go to a theatrical costumer.\u201d \u201cThen you've not seen\u2014-\" faltered the bishop.The young man broke into a laugh.\u201cIt's a good line, and it's not been done before, that I know of,\u201d he said; \u201cbut I'm not taking any this time, thank you.\u201d The bishop turned away despondently.ile was too deenlv disappointed for re: proach.A few yards away he met the bathing man, who stopped short, eyelng him suspiciously froin head to foot.\u20181 don't want apy loafing round my boxes,\u201d he said, roughly; \u2018you'd better keep on the promenade.\u201d The fair-haired young man sauntered up at that moment, putting the finishing touches to his toilet as he did so.\u201cExcuse my troubling you,\u201d he said to the bathing man, with an excellent imita tion of the bishop's way of speaking, \u201cIi have had the misfortune to lose my clothes, by mistaking the number of my van.Do you happen to have seen a bishop's dress\u2014the gniters\u2014\u2014\" The bathing man gave a start of recognition, and turned to the bishop.\u201cWell, I'm blowed !\u201d he said; \u2018\u2018so you was the bloke as was pertending to be a bishop ! You'll just clear out of this, or It'11 be the worse for you, I tell you straight.\u201d Dr.Carhart's first natural impulse cf anger subsided suddenly as he looked nt the clothes he was wearing, and realize that in appearance he was a regular \u2018\u2018sun- downer.\u201d Ye turned meekly and walked towards the town.He saw at last that there was no hope of recovering his own garments except with the help of the police.He had not gone many paces along the promenade when there was a little stir of excitement among the loiterers near the bathing boxes.The group rapidly grew into a crowd, and the bishop's late companions hastened towards it.There was a murmur of excited voices, and suddenly that of the bathing man was heard loud above the rest.\u201cThat's him ! Pepper and salt and a red tie.It's the bloke as wanted to person- ate a bishop.\u201d The crowd surged forward, and scatser- ed across the roadway.Two figures detached themselves from the rest, and eame rapidly forward.One of them carried an ofticinl-looking paper.He put his hand on the bishop's shoulder.\u201cI've had a nice hunt for you,\u201d he said.\u201cI was just on my way to the police station.\u201d said the bishop.\u201cWell! you're a cool hand,\u2019 sald the bathing man, admiringly.\u201cAnything you say will be used as evidence against you.\u201d said the man who held his arm, as if he were repeating a lessou.\u201cI beg your nardon, I dont\u2019 understand,\u201d said Dr.Carhart.\u201cWell, we'll make it a bit clearer when we get to the station.\u201d The man chuckled at his own wit.and was greeted with a roar of delight by the crowd.The bishop luekily did not lose his head.At the police station he found, to his consternation, that he was arrested on a charge of sending begging letters, and obtaining money under false pretences.\u201cIt\u2019s all a most unfortunate mistake.\u201d sald the poor bishop, while they were emptying his pockets, and discovering no end of ineriminating documents.\u201cMy name is Carhart\u2014Dr.Carhart.I am the Bishop of Grartown.I am staying at present at Bord's Hotel, Charing Cross.\u201d The inspector paused with his pen In his hand.and looked keenly at the bishop.\u201cThis is a very extraordinary statement,\u201d he said.\u201cIt's an extraordinary affair altogether,\u201d rejoined Dr.Carhart.\u201cI came down here from London this morning: I spent an hour or two in the town, and then went on to the beach.1 bathed, and stayed in the water thirty-five or forty minutes.I found when I came out that T was in the wrong box.When I stated this to the man In charge, he told me that a person wearing the dress of a bishop had left half an hour before.I am reluctantly forced to the conclusion that the owner of the clothes I am now compelled to wear has stolen mine and made off with them.\u201d \u201cHave vou any evidence to bring In support of this charge?\u2019 asked the inspector.\u201cI have no evidence on the spot.\u201d said Dr.Carhart, \u2018\u2018unfortunately the bathing man.who might have assisted me, takes me for an imposter.\u201d \u201cWell, I'm afraid I can*t do anrxthing with an unsunported statement,\u201d said the inspector.\u2018You wil lhave an opportunity of saving whatever you wish when you are brought up before the Magistrate to-mor- row.There's nothing else for it, that I can see.\u201d \u201cDo you mea nto say that I am to remain here.in custody, until to-morrow?\u201d cried the bishop, aghast.The inspector nodded.\u201cBut surely, at least.you can take some Nicans to test the truth of my story.Telegraph to Bord's Hotel.Inquire at the station.Let me go to London, where can establish\u2018my identity.\u201d \u201cYou'll go to London to-morrow, in cus.fody, I've no doubt.\u201d sald the inspector, grimly: \u201cI don't see why I should spend anything on useless inquiries.\u201d The bishop polluted some small silver coins lying on the table among the contents of his pockets.\u201cYou ean use that money, and I will refund it to the person to whom these clothes belong,\u201d he said.The inspector hesitated: for the first time he scemed to have a doubt.\u201cVery well.\u201d be said at length: \u201cI will send a wire to Bord\u2019s Hotel.and one of our men shfll Inquire at the station.\u201d Dr.Carhart sat down to wait in perfect good humor.The man who had heen
