; Firemen and Steerage Passengers Said to Have Dev Themselves to Looting the Hel oted pless Passengers\u2014Cap- of His Crew Still on Board _ Rimouski, Sept.29.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The passengers of the Scotsman, landed here by the Montfort this morning, bring in the most terrible tales of suffering that have been told in connection with the wreck of a steamer.ever Twelve to fifteen people are dead by drowning or exhaustion, scores are lame through walking over miles and miles of crags and rocks.Firemen and stokers stole from the passengers at the point of the gun, valuables of all kinds; everything is lost.It is a story incredible, but for the fact that over two hundred people bear ont the statements.LIST OF THE LOST.Among those who are lost are the follow.Ing saloon passengers: Miss Street, Montreal, companion to Miss Duncan.Mrs.Childs, wife of the stage manager of the \u201cSign of the Cross\u201d Co.Mrs.Mrs.Mrs.Mrs.the Sun Life Company, of Toronto, Miss Robinson.Mrs.Dickinson, wife of a former editor of the Toronto Globe.And the following second class passengers Dickson.Roberts and infant.M.Scottt.Robinson, wife of the manager of are lost: .4 Mrs.M.Scott.Mrs.Watson, Mrs.Talbot and Mrs.Tut- hill, Mrs.Mrs.Miss Skelton.Eliza Watkins, B.Weavers.ALL IN THE FIRST BOAT.The reason that all the lost are women is because they were in the first boat which left the steamer, and which was almost immediately swamped.The Scotsman ran ashore on the southeast coast of Belle Isle, about 2.45 on the morn.ng of Friday, the 22nd It was at once seen that in all probability the vessel would be a total wreck, and the order to save the women was given.The men worked like horses, and quickly the boats were got away, the first of them swamping.- Then the men and crew clambered down the side of the vessel to the rocks.Hardly had the vessel struck before men from the stokehole rushed to the cabins, and, slitting open valises and bags with their knives, took all the valuables they could lay their hands on.Several of them fired shotguns and tried to force men to leave their cabins.SIGNAL FROM BELLE ISLE.Captain Jones, of the Montfort, said that on the 26th, about tem o\u2019clock, the ship was signalled from the Belle Isle light house that they were in need of immediate assistance.A number of the Scotsman\u2019s passengers had walked there from the wreck, eight miles as the crow flies, but nearly ten by the road.After bringing these people on board the ship, she proceeded to where the Scotsman lay.The weather was bright and clear.As soon as practicable the boats were launched, and the work begun.The place of the disaster was on the south-east coast of Belle Isle, about eight miles east of the lighthouse.The ship lies on a ledge about thirty yards from shore, and ha sa bad list to port.he is in a very bad condition, and in the opoinion of Captain Jones will go to pieces &t the first easterly gale.A TOTAL LOSS.The vessel and cargo are a total loss, no baggage was saved, and indeed it is & wonder that so many escaped with their lives.The passengers have absolutely nothing but what they stand in._\u2026.LEFT IN THE SHIP.The work of saving tie vassrngers oceu- pied from 10.30 to nearly six in \u2018he evening, and then the fog came down, and uninriu- etely before everyone was saved.About seventy were left on the shio, but the captain of the Montfort :1gnalled the steamship Grecian to take the rest, and rhey will ikely be up in day or two.Some twenty-eight, of whom four are passengers, went back to England on the steamer Monterey.WHOLESALE LOTING, Captain Jones says that a number of the crew and some of the steerage passengers added to the trouble by wholesale looting, and on this account the immigration agents were given instructions to search everyone landing from the ship.Watches and jewellery, clothing ard money were taken by craft and force, and many of the saloon pus- Sengers are absolutely destitute.CAPT.SKRIMSHIRE A HERO.\u201cHe is a hero,\u201d he said, on the ship, He will be the The Captain said that he exactly the number of persons their lives, but it Was from He believeq they

storm-tossed w for ten hours, the wome back to the starboard side of the Scotsman which had listed to such an extent tha.threo of the bodies of the drowned of che first boat had been washed Up on board.The women avis Nnwere finaliy \u2018aken again, and it ws impossible to take anyone clse.About fifty, including the captain, were left on board the wreck, and they were Hkely to come up on the Gre clan.Cid Mrs.Stevenson is In good health and spirits, considering the terrible experience she has undergone.MISS GERTRUDE BOSWELL.Mis Gertrude Boswell, of the \u201cSign of the Cross Company,\u201d carried in her arms a small Scotch terrier which she had saved from the wreck.She had not been able to secure any of her clothes other than those she wore, but she kept her pet, al though on several occasions other passengers wished to kill It, fearing that the stock of food would not be suflicient to keep both dog and people alive.LAUNCHING OF THE BOATS.Miss Boswel, in speaking of the wreck, stated that these seemed to be considerable mismanagement in the launching of the boats.The plan was to send the wo- nen and children first, but unfortunately, In one case at least, enough sailors were not sent to man the boat.That in which Miss Boswell was placed had a cargo of thirty women and one man.There was a considerable sea on at the time, and owing to the darkness and fog It was dgagerous to land.as the roar of breakers could be heard distinctly.For ten hours the boat remained near the ship, and in that time no one had either food or water, as they had no stores with them.Four boats were launched, but one of them had no plug in it, and almost as soon as it struck the water it filled and sank, throwing the passengers into the water.Mrs.Childs, wife or the manager of the \u2018Sign of the Cross\u201d Company, was in this boat, and was drownea.Probably fourteen or fiftcen more shared Mrs.Childs\u2019 fate, There were a number of these people saved, but only after long immersion in the icy water.One lady, whose name could not be learned, was saved, but died the next day from exposure.Another lady, Miss Street, companion to Miss Duncan, of Sherbrooke Street, Montreal, was lost, and Miss Duncan herself was some time in the water before being rescued.She is very badly bruised, but otherwise she is all right.THE STEAMER SCOTSMAN NOW ASHORE AT BELLE ISLE.were then taken over the rocks to share.It was determined to make an eff:r: to save something from the ship in the shape of food and clothing, but she was in such a bad condition that it seemed unsafe to board her.Several trips were made, however, and such articles as overcoats and shawls were secured for the women, nearly every one of whom had left the ship in her night clothes.BISCUIT AND BERRIES.A quantity of biscuit was carried on shore, and on this, with a very little corned beet and wild berries, over two hundred people existed for four days.Some natural springs were found, but despite this, the bad condition of food and water brought on much sickness.HAD TO WALK TWENTY MILES.The distance to the light-house from which they were finally taken by the Montfort, is about twenty miles.It is all sharp rocks, and the suffering was terrible.MRS.STEVENSON'S EXPERIENCE.Mrs.A.W.Stevenson, of 141 Drummond Street, Montreal, told a Herald representative that she was awakened on Friday morning about 2 o'clock by a jolting and crashing that shook the ship until it quivered like a leaf.There were at least ten or twelve scparate jolts, and the vessel immediately came to a standstill, and then heeled over quickly, almost throwing the passengers out of their bunks.Mrs.Stevenson arose and got on deck as quickly as possible.There was a heavy fog at the time and no one seemed to know exactly what was the matter.Some said that the vessel had collided with an iceberg, others that another ship had struck them, and there was absolutely no idea of where they were or how far they were from land.ONE BOAT SWAMPED.In the morning, however, \u2018they found that they were close in shore under a tremendous cliff, nearly 1,500 Yeet in height.The boats were lowered and the women and children sent first, but unfortunately there were not enough men to properly handle the boats, one of which was immediately swamped, and a number of people drowned.FIVE SHIPS PASSSED.It was four days before the Montfort came to their rellef, during which time the passengers suffered the greatest hardships.Five ships passed and paid absolutely no attention to the Scotsman\u2019s signals.It is possible that they were not seen, however.PILLAGE AND ROBBERY.At any rate, the Montfort was the first to render aid, and, to add to the horror of the whole experience, the pillage and robbery carried on by the firemen an the steerage pasSengers, stripped the survivors of nearly everything they possessed.In some cases rings were pulle off the fingers of fainting and dying women.There is nothing but praise to be said of Captain Skrimshire and the officers o the ship.They acted like heroes.MONTFOKE IN SIGHT.It was bright and clear on Tuesday mora- ing when the Montfort hove in sigh 1 nd There was

befcre they could find a psæce large enongh to rest.Here they stayed on the bare rock for four days and nights.The first night they had absolutely no shelter, but on Saturday the captain sent up some

this morning washing down decks and preparing the flagship for the most magnificent naval demonstration that has ever taken place in an American port.Like activity was in progress on the other warships riding at anchor below the Olympia.The scene was a glorious one, as the sun's rays glistened on the white side of the big vessels and the black hulls of the small ones.The weather could not have heen more delightful.There was scarcely a cloud in the sky, It was pleasantly cool, and there was a light breeze from the south, strong enough to stralghten out the flags.As the morning advanced

barque Harry Merryday, from Jacksonville, Fla., which arrived last night, reports that on September 21 he sighted a wreck, which proved to be the American schooner Herald of the Morning, from Hamilton, Bermuda, bound to Jacksonville.Upon drawing near the wreck lhe made out a man on the masthead.A boat was lowered and took him off the mast.He was a negro, Horace Wellman, aged 15 years, of Hamilton.Bermuda.He was in an exhausted condition, his body jammed fast in the top.All that could be learned about his shipmates was the fact that they were missing.He said the schooner had capsized early in the morning six days before.The wreck had been floating on its heam ends a long time and had gradually settled in the water until she floated upright.her mast projecting above water.When

In the meanwhile, Cape continue the story of military activity\u201d in the Transvaal, Natal and Cape Colony.\u2018The Boers are concentrating in the country contiguous to Natal, where the first ont- break of hostilities is likely to occur.Large contingents of burghers are converging from | various parts.on this probable batt'efie)d.The excitement continues at fever neat.ibe Commandant-General has issued a notic3 Cr- dering the commanders to assemble at a specified spot on the Natal border.The coni- mand from Krugersdorf, whose burghers checkmatéd\u2018 the Jameson raiders, embarked on trains for ic jrontier to-nigkt.There is great activity at the War Office at Pretoria.The army reserve have been called out.The arrangements to defend the frontier are now complete, and the work of equipment is proceeding rapidly.The burghers are congregating in the towns, ready to join their commandos, which, however have ; strict orders not to approach too near the frontier, and to avoid a collision with the British forces.The Boer forces are gather- Ing at their bases of action, a sho.t distance from the border, such as Harrismith, Volks- rust, Vryheid and Bremersdorf.Telegraphic communication between Cape Town and Pre- { torla has become strangely delayel during the last couple nf days.OFF FOR THE FRONTIER.| A telegram received to-day says two batteries of field artillery and five hundred burghers have started for Volksrust, and | that another five hundred go there to-day.! The streets at Pretoria present a scene of great military animation.Armed burghers and artillery men are riding about, the field cornets being engaged in warning the burghers to be In readiness at a moment\u2019s notice.A quantity of ammunition for Maxim guns Is reported to have arrived at Har.rismith.and the hurghers at Bremersdorp received rifles and ammunition yesterday.The men are practising with the Maxim guns.\u201c A number of young Boers, who have been studying at Cape Town, have started for home.IN SECRET SESSION.The Volksraad.in secret session, has passed a high treason bill, providing for the confiscation of the property of burghers who refuse service.A proposal was sub mitted to make the confiscation retroactive, 50 as to Include certain millionaires, but It was rejected.A despatch from Johannesburg reports a meeting of the wholesale and retail merchants there to consider the Fteps to be taken for the protection of the town.The chairman said he had heen informed that the Government did not intend to expel the British subjects, in the event of war.A resolution was passed In favor of forming a guard, composed of merchants, property owners and others.and empowering a cimmittee to procure funds to carry on the municipal government.ORDERED TO RETURN.From Bloemfontein, Orange Free State, It Is sald on reliable authority, that at a secret session the Raad has passed a stringent commando law.Burghers who have left the Orange Free State recently have been ordered to return, in default of £500 fine, five years\u2019 imprisonment and the con- tiscation of their property.From the British side come a few fur: ther particulars of military movements of a minor character, but all pointing towards preparations to safeguard the frontier line, in-the event of war, until a suffi cient force is assembled to take the offensive, CABINET ADJOURNED.The Cabinet adjourned at 3.153 p.m.The Ministers were heartily cheered by the waiting crowds.It is said from Boer sources that Mr.Chamberlain's proposals, snbmitted to the Cabinet, include an indemnity for the cost of sending out troops, the disarmament of the Transvaal forts, the suppression of Dr.Leyds' legation, judi- cative and legislative independencies for the judges, the equality of the English and Dutch languages, and full and complete admission of the supremacy of British interests throughout South Africa, WAR ANY MINUTE.spatch to the Times from Pretoria Rat is generally expected that a state of war will he proclaimed at any moment.Fresident K+czer granted me an interview to-day and declared he had done all possible for the sake of peace.He had accepted Mr.Chamberiain's own offer of a common inquiry, but, Mr.Chamberlain deliberately broke the thread of the negotiations, troops were massed on all sides and war was forced upon him.It was impossible to accede to the despatch of the 12th instant.Such a course would have given the land and people into the hands of strangers.\u201d As it was, his seven years proposal would, according to the field corne:s books, enfranchise 50, persons which was more than the whole number of the oid burghers.yet not one has come forward to take it.The Uitianders never really wanted the franchise.From the first they refused to go on the commandos and registered themselves as aliens.Afterwards Lord Loch secured exemption for them en the same terms as the Portuguese.He wised to indignantly deny Mp.Chamberlain's charge that he had broken his promise made during the discussion preceding the Fretoria convention of 1851, that he woutd treat new immigrants equally with the old burghers.He had always been ready to treat them so and they had always refus>d.PEACE NOT FOSSIBLE, In conclusion.I asked if there was still a possibility of peace._ \u201cXo,\u201d he replied, after a pause, \u2018\u201cunl>ss the other side will do something to make peace possible.\u201d .The correspondent adds that perhaps it is worth pointing out that the commando in question did not arise until 1894, after the franchise had been restricted by the law of 1891, \u2018which makes it difficult to sce why the former should account for the latter.\u201d SQUADRON AT CAPE TOWN.A squadron of British crulsers is gathering at Cape Town.Advices from the interior of South Africa indicate that, thus far, the natives are quiet

diminishing.Tents have been pitched on the beach to acommodate the re- furees.It is announceä from Kimbezley that a former Mayor has called a meeting of Irishmen to protest against the action of their

the new additions.which will cost upwards of $3,000, will, it is believed, render it one of the finest ins\u2018ru- ments in Canada.The chimes will include thirteen bells, and while providing these it is Mr.Gault\u2019s intention to place a clock in the tower of the church.This will be connected with the chimes, so that thg hour and quarter hours will be struck on the bells.After the practice which

from then till July 12, 1807, at $6 a week; and from that till the time of the report at $7 a week.Mr.Fallon adds that \u2018\u201c\u2018Morier's pay has been charged to several appropriations.\u201d A PECULIAR TRANSACTION.The next item of Interest dates back to 1804, about the time Mr.Lafor- est got into control.He was charged, under date of August 13, 1894, with 3 hydrants, 2,018 pounds .$35.49 3 hydrants, 2,025 pounds .20.25 ¢ hydrants, 2,700 pounds .27.00 away A total of .$102.74 This matter was mentioned at the last meeting of the committee, and Mr.La- forest staved off criticism by saying that the amount was paid.It is pald, but the payment was not made until more than four years after the purchase.Moreover, the payment was not made until Mr.Du- fresne's report was ready for presentation in December, 1898.Finally, the payment was made in the name of Pierre Laforest, of Joliette, the Superintendent's father, who is now said to be the real purchaser of the hydrants.THE CITY PAID THEIR WAGES, Next in order of presentation is the list of civic employes who worked for Mr.La- forest for his private purposes.It is a long one, including Messieurs Charest, Dagenais, Beaudoin, Poitras, Marsan, Lortie, Hetu, Forest, Gendron, Desjardins, Gauthier, Brozo, Stant.Lanthier, Bachand, Lavallee, MeKircher, Gariepy, Tagnant, Bourdon, Campau, (roulet, Labelle, Simard, Hache, Larose, Bertrand, Belletieur, Robillard, Rivet, Rradshaw, Dechene, Guay.Thirty-three in all, Charest seems to have put In at Ste.Agathe most of the time he spent working for Mr.Laforest.Poitras worked on a buggy, a bookcase, a sleigh, and at Mr.Laforest's house; Dage- nais on the sleigh and at the house; Mar- san on a buggy; Lortie on the bookcase and at the house; Rivet and Bradshaw on the bookcase; Dechene and Guay on the sleigh and at the house; Labelle anda SI- mard \u2018at Frechette\u2019's shop\u2019; the others at Mr.Laforest's house.Mr.Fallon had Mr.Laforest charged with $801.96 for these services, The auditor found that the departmental books showed §913.30 to be duce.INCLUDING A CAGE FOR DOVES, Mr.Fallon sent In a statement of materials charged to Mr.Laforest, beginning in 1894.But the auditors were put in possession of a small book kept by the storekeeper, which showed goods delivered to Mr.Laforest, but not included in Mr.Fallon\u2019s statement of goods charged to him, the whole amounting to $86.95.Here are a few of the items: 10 sledges .ev tere Guuneeuan ns $18.00 1 cage for doves .veuveo.3.50 DR.CODERRE\u2019S RED PILLS PALE=WEAK WOMEN =;

that he had taken it with the understanding thint he would forward it to Montreal, to have it examined.If it tura>d out to be worthy of publication, he would print it in La Presse, but that there was no agreement as {o the payment of any money for it; that the newspaper gets all such contributions free of charge; that, in any event, the manuscript had never reach: ed the City of Montreal, and must have been lost in Her Majesty's mails, by which he had sought to forward it :0o Montreal, dlong with other correspondence, and that he was not responsible for such loss.The proof disclosed that there was no contract as to any price to De paid for the manuscript.Both parties agree that the document was to be forwarded to Montreal, 30 that the editor of La Presse might deter- ine whether it was worthy of publication.Mr.Berthiaume was constituted the deposi- tery of the manuscript for that pnrpose, and lie accepted the deposit.His obligations, as such depository, were fixed hy article 1802, of the Civil Code.He was obliged to take care of the manuscript \u2018en bon pere de famille\u201d: to deal with it as prudently as if it were his own property.He appeared to the court to have done this.He forwarded, or endeavored to forward it, by mail to Montreal.He did so just as he sent his own correspondence.Had he taken any other means he might have laid himself open to hbiame\u2014through the nezii- gence of a messenger, for instance, He chose the usual approved manner of sendiag a document to its destination.It had failed to arrive.He could not be held responsible for an accident in the transmission of the mails.He had no control over that.Mr.Rousseau not having proved his contract for $100, and Mr.Berthiaume not having been guilty of any fault through which the manuscript was lost, and could not therefore be returned.the action for the recovery ot the sum of £100, or the return of the mann- script, eould not be maintained, and it was dismissed with costs.MR.BRICE MARRIED.Cheese Bxporters Tender Mr.BE.J.Brice a Luncheon on the Occasion of His Marriage, There was a jolly gathering of cheese exporters at the Board of Trade restaurant vesterday afternoon.One of their number, Mr.Ernest A.Brice, was about to join the great army of the \u2018\u2018Benedicts,\u201d and naturally his comrades in the trade could not ler the event pass, without some acknowledgment.They decided that a luncheon would be a fitting wind up to his days of single unblessedness, and accordingly it was given to Mr.Brice, as a testimonial that his brother traders, wished his bride and himself as fortunate a journey through life as that fickle goddess \u201cFortuna\u201d would allow, Among those present were Messrs.A.WP.Grant (in the chair), A.J.Brice, W.T.Ware.F.Fowler, M.J.Farrell, William Nivin, F.Duckett, A.TI .Froemacke, and Hon.James McShane, Mr.Brice was married in the afternoon to Miss Ethel l\u2019earson, at the residence of the bride's father, Mr.Charles W.Pearson.Westmount.The ceremony was prvate.Mr and Mrs.Brice leaving for Niagara and the West by the eve C.P.R.train.y evening HIS MEN DESERT HIM \u2014_\u2014 Captain Voulet, of a French Soudan Expedition, Left In a Precarious Condition by Rebellious Soldiers.Paris, September 28.\u2014Information re ceived tc-day is to the effect that Captain Voulet, of the French Soudan expedition ] , is In a precarious position, For à while be was able to hold his men, but they bave since rebelled, and the officers, it j - ably reported, have deserted him.sre The Fourean-Dary expedition now in the Aer district of Central Africa, is said to be the objective point of the deserters.\u2014\u2014\u2014 DR.COLBY\u2019S LECTURF.The First Meeting of the McGill Liter ary Society to be Held To-night.Dr.Charles W.Colby, professor of history at McGill, delivered a lecture last evening before the Historical Club in connection with the Faculty of Arts at Me- Gill University.His subject was \u2018\u2019The Jesuit Relations,\u2019 and in a masterly review he brought under notice the origin, influence and policy of the society and its Influence npon the questions of to-day.To-night the McGill Literary Society will meet in the Art Building at the University for the purpose of electing the officers for the present session, and the transaction of other business relating to organizu- tion for the year's work and the arrangement of the debates.The menNership of the Society is larger than ever, and the discussions on the questions of the day promise to be as vigorous and as interesting as ever.ltr MUNICIPAL REFORM ASSOCIATION MEETING.Montreal.September 20.\u2014The records of the aldermen will be discussed by members of the Municipal Keform Association in Papineau Square next Thursday evening, October 5th, at 8 p.m.The meeting wiil be of interest to all electors in the east ond of the city.and should serve as a guide as to the selection of men to send to the City Council.The full records of all the aldermen will shortly Le published.In \u201ché meantime no requisition lists should ne signed for any of the present members, except those Luown to Lave clean records.!

Stage.ter London, Sept.28\u2014An advance copy of Mr.T.P.O'Connor\u2019s paper, Mainly About People, contains a letter from Mr.Clement Scott on why he is leaving England for America, at least for a time.Mr.Scott says: \u201cI go to America because, to my sorrow, 1 find that for the moment independence in criticism here is a dead letter; because the actor has been allowed to bell the cat: because truth is Still at the bottom of the well, but the chain of the bucket Is broken; because I - refuse to be a press agent in advance to ; to sell my birthright or independence for the pottage of the preliminary puff; because I am not permitted to sign my name to what I write and to be responsible for it to all the world; because I have no inclination now aud at my time of life to tilt at soclety at large and to rescue poor artists and their art from Its uureal and satiated embraces; because 1 see as plainly as I can see anything that this glitter and glamor of soclety which is misleading stage dramatists, actors and actresses and is destroying their art, aesthetically aud commercially, is a false jack-o'- lantern, miasmic marsh light, which, to my sorrow, Is undoing much that I have tried to do for years past as a labor of love; because journalism, which used to be the master, has become the slave of the stage, and because I desire to know America better.\u201cI go to America because I believe It loves independence and freedom of opinion in discussing all questions of art.\u201cI go to America because I do not he- lieve that the stage of America is tiled to the skirts and shoestrings of society.I go to study young, vigorous, healthy art.I go to encourage as far as I can, by long, varied experience, young American dramatists who are marching to the front.\u201d Atte

Concerning the Famous Artists Who Are to Sing in Montreal Next Month.New York, Sept.27.\u2014A letter from London was received in New York a day or so since that gives, in an unusually breezy style, much interesting chat and gossip in regard to the operatic company that Mr.Grau is bringing to New York this winter.It is ln part, as follows., Grau is taking over pretty much the same old set and a few new people, who, I imagine, will be very well liked.Calve goes positively.She has been far from well since she left New York, and the greatest trouble of all was that she thought she more seriously affected than she was\u2014which didn't help her any.There was considerable negotiating between her and Grau before she signed for the season, and it looked as though she were going to back out.But she sails on Saturday.You will hear her in Juliette, in which I rather fancy\u2014if you will pardon slang\u2014that she will make some thousand or fifteen hundred dollar prima donnas look like thirty cents.She and Grau, T am told, have talked over a production of \u2018\u201c\u2018Ierodiade\u201d for her.but don\u2019t count on it till you sce it on the billboards.Saleza is going to do

weep.Grau lald seige to him and did his best to get him to go, but Jean said no, or probably \u201cnon,\u201d and had his reasons, which might be put down something like this: Mme.Jean, 50; all the comforts of home, 25; Alvarez, 35; let them wait till they want me, 20; I can earn almost as much here, 20: my horses, 23: making a total of 175.Less to oblige cher ami, 50; less, to oblige Edouard, and not let him go alone, 25, a total of T5; leaving 100 reasons for not going.In explanation I may say that Jean\u2019s wife dreads the sen, and Jean docs not seem to get her over it.To go without her, give up his home life, exchange \u201call the comforts of home\u201d for a suite in the Gil- sey House\u2014for he can run home to Poland every now and then if he takes Europ@n engagements\u2014to look out at the cab horses on Broadway instead of at his fine racing stud, of which he Is passionately fond\u2014 Jean doesn\u2019t quite see it.AN ALVAREZ CABAL?Then again, though he is not old, he is not a youngster by any means, and is inclined to take life easier.Of course he wants to oblige \u2018\u2018cher ami\u201d otherwise Grau, and he hates to let Brother Edouard run around New York by himself, but\u2014 All this he has told to members of the company, but I will tell you something he hasn't told everybody.He is just a littl bit wounded, I hear.Do vou remember the extravagant, unqualified praise showered on Alvarez in America last winter, greater than Jean ever received from faultfinding critics?Well, Ît cut Jean terribly.After years and vears of hard work he thought this overwhelming praise of Alvarez was perhaps a readiness to cry down the older favorite and hai} the newer\u2014and Jean was wounded.So when Grau asked him about America and the coming season\u2014well.Jean says he isn't going.He may go after all, but it is exceedingly doubtful.At present he says \u201cNon.\u201d EAMES AND GRAU'S LUNCH BASKETS.A \u2018long talk\u201d that was indulged in was between Eames and Grau\u2014longer than an .the production y'and oze net of the piece, now set in Trou- ,agement would permit it to go on.Here \u2018Is another attestation of the

novel.It is danced by twelve graceful voung women.The electric device is the patent of Harold Green, a young electrician of New York, and its fundamental novelty lies in the fact that the lights, 1,000 in nnmber, are operated by a storage battery from be: hind the scenes, which sends a current of 130.000 volts through induction coils a distance of 50 feet.The cahles, one of which is attached

Downpour of Rain.Almonte, Ont., Sept.28.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The annual North Lanark exhibition, which is being held here, has been seriously affected by the rain.Tuesday was the opening day, but the continued downpour interfer- cd with the entries, and rendered the grounds unfit for many of the attractions which should have taken place.The Canadian Pacific Railway trains from east and west have brought goodly numbers of vis- ftors to town.The entries are very large, particularly some of the stock entries, additional accommodation having to be made since the fair opened.There are excellent horses and cattle; in fact, the best ever exhibited here, while the stock of well-bred sheep and hogs cannot be surpassed.The poultry and fowl were a splendid exhibit.The vegetable produce could not be easily beaten.The wheat ap peardd to be fully\u201d equal to.the famous Manitoba, and last, but not least, the hospitality of the Almonte people is not beaten anywhere in the Ottawa Valley.That practically accounts for the great success of their fall exhibitions.AFTER THE HARVEST Farm Hands Are Moving to Lumber Camps Much to the Delight of the Mill Owners.North Bay, Ont., Sept.29.\u2014(Special.)\u2014 The scarcity of men for the lumber camps, which has this season been very noticeable, has this last week or so, much to the satisfaction of the lumber agents, been not quite so marked, and laborers can now be secured in fairly good numbers.The big harvest throughout the country this year has been responsible for keeping many men at work longer than usual, but now that all the farm produce is in, a large number of the farm hands are starting for the lumber camps.It is to be hoped that all the men required for the woods can be had, as the scarcity of laborers recently has caused much anxiety in lumber circles.ter HE LOST HIS BALANCE Presence of Mind of a Fellow Laborer, All That Saved John Rose of Iroquci; From a Horrible Death.Iroquois,

Civilization.Dundee, Scotland, Sept.28.\u2014On receiving the freedom of the city of Dundee to-day, Mr.A.J.Balfour, the First Lord of the Treasury, and Government leader in the House of Commons, said the Government had longed for and has striven for a peaceful and honorable solution of the perennial South African difficulty, \u2018\u2018and if that honorable solution does not prove a peaceful solution, the fault rests on other heads than ours.\u201d Mr.Balfour would not say he had given Up ali his hopes, but he now spoke in very different tones from what he should have done a month or even a fortnight ago.They had resiched a point, he added, when, If he judged aright.those responsible for the policy of the Duteh republic refused to give way: a point on which \u201cwe could not.and would not give way.\u201d This statement caused an outburst of cheering.Continuing, Mr.Balfour remarked: \u201cThe Interests of South Africans, civilization, and national honor have all made such a course impossible for us.\u201d This called forth renewed cheers.BOERS STILL HOPEFUL, London, Sept.20.\u2014The Daily Chronicle says: \u201cWe understand on the best author- itv that the delay attending the Boer re py is due to hopes still entertained by thie Transvaal of a peaceful settlement, The Doers distrust Mr.Chamberlain; they fear that if they make concessions, he will only increase his demands.Therefore they have been trying to approach Lord Salisbury directly.\u2018\u2019They trust the Premier as much as they distrust the Colonial Secretary, and if Lord Salisbury would give a pledge that the golden bridge was meant seriously they would venture upon it.We regret to say that this last desperate effort has broken down, since Lord Salisbury cannot go behind Mr.Chamberlain without creating a Cabinet crisis.\u201cIt is deplorable, nevertheless, that state etiquette should be strong enough to obstruct the path to peace.We hope it is not true that Mr.Chamberlain intends to demand disarmament, a heavy indemnity, and the withdrawal of Dr.Leyds, which could only result in war.\u201d The paper suggests that the Orange Free State should appeal for arbitration under the arrangements concluded at The Hague.The Daily News, which appeals to the Government to await President Xruger's reply before sending a second despatch, says: \u201cIf, as has heen asserted on behalf of the Transvaal, all trouble would have been avoided had Mr.Chamberlain's despatch Inst Friday said convention instead | of conventions, we do not befieve a Brit- fsh Cabinet would decline to clear the matter up.It is for President Kruger to speak.It is indeed, only a matter of a consonant: for we are convinced that it Is in his power to get the consonant cut The Pretoria correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says: \u201cThe Transvaal executive is absorbed in war preparations.Many Boers oppose aggressive action on religious grounds.There have been local thunderstorms and rains at Johannesburg and in various parts of the Orange Free State.\u201d AN EXPLANATION.London, Sept.28.\u2014The Press Association issued the following statement this evening: \u201cWe learn that the centres or Interest in the Transvaal controversy are really at Lisbon and Berlin, and this consideration it is thought in some quarters may cause a further adjournment of the Cabinet.\u201cPhe future administration and financial control of the Portuguese possessions in South Africa are held to be an integral factor in the present difficulty.The friends of President Kruger urge that it would be manifestly unfair to insist upon a partiar reduction of the forts at Pretoria and Johannesburg as long as Lorenzo Marques remains under the Portuguese Government, and it is probable that the

\u2018I STILL HAS HOPES NCE PUNISHED Bernard Kert, of St Lawrence Stree Given Two Years, JUDGE'S SEVERE REMARKS, Prendergast, a Thief Who Tried to Kill a Constable by Exploding a Cartridge, Gets Seven Years.In the Court of Special Sessions yesterday Morning Judge Desnoyers gave warnings to law-breakers.Bernard Kert, a retail shoe dealer, of St, Lawrence Street, was charged with receiving boots and shoes knowing them to have been stolen, and was found guilty.Judge Desnoyers, in pointing out the gravity of the charge, said that the man who received stolen goods was worse than the man who stole them.\u201cIf there were no receivers,\u201d he said, \u201cthere would be no robbers.\u201d A few years ago a person on a similar charge had been sentenced to ten years In the penitentiary.This sentence had its effect, as for a long time afterwards there had been very few arrests on the charge of receiving stolen goods.\u201cSome storekeepers seem to forget that sentence now,\u201d remarked the judge, \u201cand It is necessary that an example should be made.It is with much regret that I have to sentence you,\u201d said Judge Des- noyers, \u2018as I am, like you, the father of a family, and I feel for your wife and your little children, but I have a sworn duty to perform.I must protect society, and I hope others will take warning.must sentence yon for two years to the provinelal penitentiary.\u201d A scene followed the last words of the judge.The prisoner's wife, a tall woman, who during the entire proceeding kept het eves fixed on the prisoner, let a scream and fell swooning in the arms of her father, who was sitting near her.Kert's mother, an elderly lady, wept and sobbed aloud, and had to be carried outside by two policemen.Outside she screamed.Of the crowd gathered around her a few gentlemen endeavored to quiet her, but she would pot listen, and pulling herself from then she literally rolled herself on the grass in the park in front of the Court House, until a carriage came and took her away.Joseph Leblanc, who a few days ago pleaded guilty to a charge of assault and attempt to steal a purse from Miss Eliza beth Roy, of Back River, was also given two years.A severer sentence was reserved for Jas.Prendergast, an ex-convict, who when taken in charge by Constable Hunter a few days ago threw a cartridge against a stone and caused it to explode.He was charged with theft and aggravated assault.Prendergast only stole a coat from Miss Alice Brennan, of St.Thomas Street, but in view of his apparent attempt to kill the constable and his previous bad record Judge Desnoyers said he was obliged to give him seven years.WRITING HER MEMOIRS.Lily Langtry Will Attempt to Give Some of the Impressions Gleaned During Her Long Career.London, September

people.Mr.Samuel Smith, of London, presented 4 paper on the gradual growth of sacer- dotaltsm In doctrine aud 1n teaching lu England.Mr.Smith Is a member of the Tritlsh Parllament.His paper was

Fellowship.Ct Boston, Sept.28\u2014The International Congregational Council received greetings this morning from the pan-Presbyterian Council In Washington, to which President Angell sent a telegram.Some clusing business was taken up.The committee én the future of the International Congregational Councils reports in favor of hold Ing them periodically at intervals from five to ten years.Standing committees and sec- rangements fur such future councils.In- vitatlons were received to hold the next council in Montreal, and in Sydney, Australia.The decision was referred to the standing committee, Rev.A.J.Lyman, D.D., of Brooklyn, ad dressed the councl] on Congregational Independence and fellowship from the Afuer- [can point ot view.Dr.Lyman sald that the duty of Congregationalists Is to stand for the unity of the many-battalioned church together with the legitimacy of cach great body composing it.We must set the pace In the practice of gracious comity between the denominations, and not only comity but rational and strenuous und practical co-operation In Christian work.That Is what we are for.We must everywhere make a start in these things.We must stand for the dual principle of individual denominational right plus inter-de- nominational co-operation.Somebody must do this and always start to do it, and we are the somebody, because we have the logic That les behind it.Rev.John Brown, D.D., of Bedford, Eng., spoke on Congregational independence and fellowship from the British point of view.At the afternoon session an address on \u201cThe Living

Inspectors Have Acted in Error.Seria Washington, Sept.28.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The action taken by the Canadian Government, \u2018in remitting the fees heretofore charged for the inspection of vessels on the Great Lakes in Canadian ports, is understood to have resulted from the publication in The Herald recently of some remarks made by General Dumont, the supervising inspector of steam vessels.Gen.Dumont declared that the collection of such taxes was an unjust imposition on American vessel owners on the lakes, and he charae- terized the system In rather scathing language as an evidence of ldck of reciprocal courtesy on the part of Canada.Tne United States authorities have inspected Canadian vessels at ports on the Great Lakes free of charge.It now turns oyt that the strictyres ot the Inspector-Genérai were ünjustifidd, for the Governor-General of Canada sent a very courteous letter to the Treasury De- partrient stating that the collection of inspection fees by officials of the Ontario Provincial Government was done under an erroneous construction of the Canadian Steamboat Act.The Governor-General assured Assistant Secretary Spaulding that the fact was regretted, and that not only would fees not be required in future, but all fees collected since January 1 last woud be refunded to the vessel owners who paid them.This removes 4 source df annoyance which has existed for some time on the lakes, and which led to the severe criticism published by the Supervising in spector-General.The privilege of having vessels of each country cfficially inspect ed at ports in the other country is regara- ed as a very great conventenée and sometimes às à necessity by vessél owners oi Canada and the United States on northern waters.AFTER THE MURDERER Possibility That the Clarenceville Tragedy May Be Cleared Up High Constabie Gale Promises Some Developments in the Néar Future.After years of unceasing work, there is a probability that the person or persons who committed the Edy murders at Clarenceville will be brought to justice.It has been known for some time that High Constable Gale of Quebec had ohtain- ed important clues.These clues have been so faithfully followed that a sensation is promised within a very few days.Mr.Gale was in town to-day on his way to the neighborhood of the scene.He called on Mr.McCaskill of the Canadian Secret Service.To a Herald reporter he admitted that \u2018\u2018something would drop\u201d soon, but beyond this would say nothing for publication.Mr.and Mrs.Edy and their daughter Emma, it will be remembered, were foully murdered in June, 1893, at their homd, Beach Ridge, near Clarenceville.The house was afterwards fired and destroy.d.tp WANT MR.R.WILSON-SMITH TO GO.Ex-Mayor R.Wllson-Smith

STOMACHS THAT WON'T WORK That Retain the Food and Refuse to Digest It, Make the Head Heavy and the Nerves Weak.Need Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, There is a cure for dyspepsia.Sufferers who have tried noxious nostrums will probably be skeptical, but skepticism vanishes when Stuart\u2019s Dyspepsia Tablets are tried.Whether the trouble is dyspepsia of long standing, or merely a simple case of ind gestion, rellef is prompt and pronounced.The less the trouble the fewer tablets need be taken, Heaviness after eating, sour stomach, as indicated by belching, fatigue with slight exertion, or with no exertion at all, disturbed sleep, nervousness, constipation, depression, \u201cblues,\u201d these things can commonly be set down as symptoms of dyspepsia.And dyspepsia Is merely indigestion in an aggravated form, By promoting perfect digestion, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets produce strong nerves, restful, refreshing sleep, pure blood and good, sound, healthy flesh.They make the skin clear, the eyes bright, the mind cheer- ul.Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a medicine and more than a medicine.They di- pret the food and make it easy of assimi- ation, and they relieve the inflamed, diseased condition of the membraneous Hnings and the glands of the stomach and bowels.They help the digestive organs over the hard places, and put them into a healthy, active condition.They effect a quick and

SITUATION.Wall Street Will Get $1.750,000 Gold From the Other Side.Large Loans Were Made at 20 Per Cent Yesterday\u2014Some Did Not Advance Rates.Another gold import transaction, involv- Ing a shipment of $750,000 from London next Saturday, was reported by J.& W.Seligman & Co.this afternoon,\u201d says the N.Y.Post.\u201cSterling bankers attributed the engagements thus far announced to New York money rates, asserting that the difference between rates prevailing at this centre and those dbtainable in London explained the possibility of profit in import transactions at thé\u201d present basis of exchange.One prominent house said that a considerable Import movement would likely begin soon if money held firm at New York.Other bankers expressed similar views, although one institution, which has had a great deal to do with previous movements ,intimated that the October disbursements might relleve the situation sufficiently to prevent any considerable engagements, \u201cThe money market continued very disor- flered to-day, most of the loans still being made by foreign houses.The rate went up to 20 per cent,, and large sums were loaned in the neighbothood of that tignre.Renewals on the Stock Exchange were generally negotiated on an 8 per cent.basis, although some money was put out at 6 per cent.Some of the banks marked up their outstanding loans, but one prominent Wall Street institution continued to accommodate customers at 6 per cent.To-day\u2019s transactions were generally negotiated on the supposition that readjustments would not be asked for before Monday.\u201cAdditional transfers of silver to New Orleans were arranged for at the sub- treasury to-day, and currency shipments by banks to out-of-town points continued heavy, Gold certificates amounting to 8770.00 were received for distribution today.The sub-treasury is, to some extent, using these certificates in settling its elearing-house balances,\u201d VISITED HIS
