mow it\u2019 is full.The.hon.gentleman who has complained is the chie\u2019 of the men who foisted upon the City of Montreal a contract for electric.lighting for which the citizens pay double for what they receive.The fight I am making ie a fight against dishonesty and corruption, and I can tell the hon.gentleman that there are men alongside of him who are simply doing the same thing as the, and it is a fact that the City Counct! end aldermen of Montreal are a standing disgrace and a blot upon the civilization.of this country.Why, only a year or two ago, the legislature put a check upon these men and tried to force them to remain within their appropriations.What has been done?Committee after committee has exceeded its approprfations, and two committees alone have exceeded them by seventy thousand dollars, in face of the law of Parliament, in face of the law of the land and in face of the citizens ot Montreal.offences.Why has it not been imposed\u201d How can my hon.friend come here and pretend to be a virtuous alderman when he allows these things to be done?\u201cThe aldermen werd authorized to borrow $385,000 last year to pay certain pressing claims.The bulk of that money was spent on items which ought to have come out of cutrent revenue.These men wère afraid to impose taxes, and they borrow and they spend till they ruin the city of Montreal.Men: come here sworn to serve -that city faithfully, and they do just the opposite.1 appeal to the rural mem- bers\u2014God bless them.(Laughter.) I appeal to them to stand by me in this fight.We are fighting for justice for the city of Montreal.We ask you to do to the aiby of Montreal as you would have been done by yourselves.Give these men nothing.Give them not a dollar.Give them power to borrow money, but let thenp not do it without the previous con: sent of the taxpayers.I am sorry I have had the experience of these men that 1 have had.I wish I did not own a foot There is a penalty for these | à MSW SET TET ET WR Bede A TTS TE FEW ETO Tae AIRE TET TGS.EP \u2018 of property in the city of Montreal.Peo ple are being continually driven out of the city on account of the way the affairs are.administered.My honorable friend spoke of the grass growing in the streets of Montreal.They are the men who are bringing about destruction.Their sleek voices and their honeyed words.\u2018Take this properly into consideration.I tell you frankly the city of Montreal will be nearly as bad ae old Sodom and Gomorrah, and I hope the aldermen will go out of it, and, like Lot\u2019s wife, turn to pillars of salt.\u201cMy record in the city of Montreal is a clean one.I am ready to allow it to be compared with that of my honorable friend.I have never stood up here in this House to pass laws for this company or that company with e view to puttmg thousands of dollars in my pocket.When I do that I will tell you.\u201d The Sweat of His Brow.Ald.Rainville, replying, said that if he had enriched himeelf it had been by the sweat of his brow, which the Hon.Mr.Stephens could not say.That gentleman had got all his money from his father.When Mr.Stephens had beén in.the Couns cil he had been challenged to bring à charge against Ald.Rainville, but he had never accepted the challenge.Mr.Ste phens Had insulted him on the floor of the House, where his statemente were @rivil- eged and could not expose him to an action for hbel.Ald.Raitwille cited his election for the Centre Ward as a proof of the confidence which he enjoyed on the part of the citizens of Montreal.Mr.Lomer Gouin spoke next, protesting | his good faith in proposing the amendment for Which he was responsible.He thought that some steps should be taker by which | the bill could be passed in such shape as the majority of the House should decide.Mr.Weir Backs Mr.Stephens.Mr.W.A, Weir defended Mr.Stephens against the attacks of Ald.Rainville.Mr.Stephens had never in the slightest degree attempted to obstruct the present measure.The whole blame in the matter rested on those who had tampered with.tha bill by inserting clauses of which the interested parties had not been forewarned.The rules of the House had been violated and the honor of the House would be tarnished if the bill was allowed to pass with the extraneous amendments foisted upon it.Then Ald.Rainville withdrew his motion to adjourn and the incident terminated.On To Other Business, ; The Government resolutions respecting licenses were next passed in committee.These provide that the circus license law shall apply to \u201cWild West Shows,\u201d and similar exhibitions.That temperance hotels in Montreal shall pay a license of fifty dollars; in organized districts, ten dollars, and in unorganized, five dollare.Peddlers\u2019 licenses are fixed at fifty dollars.The Exhibition Resolutions.- The resolutions respecting the Montreal Exposition Co.were next considered.These provide that with the consent of the company Jhe Government may resiliate all contracts with the company, allowing the company to keep the $34,000 which it drew after the fire of 1896.That the buildings be valued by arbitrabors and that the Government pay the amount, less $25,600, coming to the Government for the value of the buildings at the time the company took ; possession.After some discussion the resolutions were adopted without amendment.| On the motion for the second reading in the House, Mr.Grenier, seconded by Mr.Bouffard, moved an emendment censuring the Government.The House declined to censure the Government, voting the amendment down by 46 to 18.The House then went into supply.! \u2018The Private Bills Committee of the Legis: ve Council has thrown out the Phillips Chambly Bill Adapted.The Chambly Company\u2019s bill was adopted, with an amendment to provide tinat underground wires or pipes could not be laid without the consent of the municipalities interested.Lo The Union Abattoir Comipany\u2019s bill was passed, amended so that the sites of the abattoirs could not be changed without the city\u2019s consent.Support of Spencerwood.Mr.Watts, Drummond;

Mr.G.H.Massey, engineer for the enntractors, and his assistant, Mr.H.A.Wright.These gentlemen exgained all\u2018 the details of the construction scheme, and | srewered the many questions which were asked.| | Co At the Powér House.The generator room of the power house wag first visited.The machinery is not in place yet, but everything is ready to receive it, so that the visiting engineers could easily eee all the arrangements for generating and distributing the electme power.When the work is complete there will be eight large generators, giving some 95,000 horse-power.These will be.operated by sixteen huge turbines, which :#e already in plæce.At present there are two small dynamos in running order, one for lighting the buildings of the Power Company, and the other for supplying power for a mill in the vicinity.Yesterday one of these dyramos was in operation, and Mr.H.A.Wright explained the devices greatest efficieney.Ome feature which was much admired by the mechanical engineers present was the Snow patent regulator, by which the dynamo controls the supply of water power automatically.The entire hydraulic worlg #® being done by the S*illwell-Bierce and \u2018 Smith-Vaile Company, of Dayton, Ohio, under guaranteed results, among which are the maintenance at all times of a working head of 28 feet, and the delivery to the shafts the electrical generators of not less than 20,000 horse-power.There were eight units 2,850 horse-power.Each of these units or sets of wheels is connected directly, without intervention of any gearing or appliances to cause loss of energy, to the shaft of one electrical generator; in fact, the shaft of each set of water-wheels, and of cach generator is practically one continuous shaft, thereby reduding to & minimum the loss of energy and the occasion for the expense of repair.Besides these eight sets of wheels and generators, there are two sets of water wheels, each operating an exciting generator of capacity sufficient to supply the excitation current required by all the gpn- erators.Immense Water Power.The dam gives a head of water twenty- eight feet in height, and utilizes the entire power of the Richelieu river.The reser- veir or head race thus crected extends up river from the dam to à point where the level of the water at the head race of the dam merges with the matural level of the river, such point being more.than a mile and a half above, thereby .securing a very long deep mill pond, which, with the high working head of 28 feet, effectually removes all possibility of that bugbear.of water powers in cold climates, frazil.The location of the dam has been selected at a point where the highest known rise of water in the Chambly Basin below the dam will not affect the level of the tail race, consequently all possibility of interruption due either to frezil or back water is removed, this being further provided for by a further drop of seven feet at the end of the tail race.Benefit to Montreal.The current i8 conveyed from the power house at Chambly to \u2018the city of Montreal by two separate lines of poles and wires.Should ah accident happen to any: part of c'ther line of poles or wires necessitating repairs, the current from such line will be cut off, and all the power required will be transmitted by the vofher line during fhe time such repairs are being made.This will prevent interruption to the service or danger to employes, as there will be no current pussing over the line being repaired the other line carrying all that is required.: Speaking a year ago of the benefit of this power to Montreal, Mr.Brown, the general manager of the Royal Electric Oo., said: \u201cThe diminished cost will very extensively, increase the use of light; ex- terlors as well as interiors of buildings, anticipation mor a fanciful picture, but a very probable nearby , weality.The Lundeeon.When the visitors bad examined the power house and the dams to their heart\u2019s content, they were summoned to the Switchboard Chamber, where a substantial luncheon was served.The wants of the inner man were first attended to.Then cime toasts and speeches.First of all Mr.W.S.Willett, the president of the Chambly Co., addressed a few words of welcome to the engineers.In the absence of the president, Mr.T.C.Keefer.C.M.G., vicepresident G.H.Duggan aicted as toast master.At the head of the table near him were Mayor Willett of Chambly, Mr.John Kennedy, chief engineer for Montreal Harbor; Hon.J.R.Thibaudeau, Mr.W.H.Brown, Mr.J.A.L.trathy, Mr.P.Gossler, Mr.P.J.Derli , Mr.L.D.Magie, of the Royal Electric Company.All the members of the Engineers\u2019 Society were present, including representatives from St.John, N.B., and from Winnipeg.The toast of the Queen was received in the usual loyal manner, after which Mr.K.P.Hannaford proposed the health of the Chambly Manufacturing and Power Company.Senator Thibaudeau responded.A few years ago, he said it was almost impossible to do enything in electricity.In those days Royal Electric ghares sold for ten and fifteen cents.Now it.was possible to establish such a mag nificent power plant as that which they had just inspected.Mr.Brown also spoke a few words, æaying that thought he was not an engineer, he was glad to say that the success of the works at Chambly was due entirely to engineering skill.+ And mere than that he thought this was but a forerunner of a great number of such enterprises.Senator Thibaudeau next proposed the President and members of the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers, to which Mr.Herbert Wallis, a \u201cpast president of the society responded.Rival Oompany Toasted.Engineers Macklin and Massey were next toasted, after which Mr.J.A.L.Strathy proposed the rival company, the Lachine Hydmulic and Land Oompamy.\u201cWe don\u2019t thinly for a moment,\u201d said Mr.Strathy, \u201cthat we are the only pebble on the beach, but we are un good sized one.\u201d Mr.McLea Wallbank responded for the La- chine Company.He hoped neither com- rany would be any the worse for the other\u2019s existence.He had the best of feelings towards the other company, and hoped the competition between the companies would always be honorable.\u201d This ended the speech-making, and after singing \u201cGod Save the Queen\u201d the visitors crowded into the sleighs and were driven tn the station.A number of them drove to the old fort and joined the train on that side of the river.Annual Banquet.The evening was spent at the Windsor v here the society lad its annual banquet.Mr.Duggan occupied the chair and fulfilled his duties in his usual happy manner.The banquet was a pleasant ending to a very pleasant day.THE SEMINOLES ON THE WARPATH, Their Object is Said to be to Get - Revenge.Warriors Leaving a Trail of Blood Behind Them in O.T.Dallas, Texas, Jan.12\u2014A \u2018gpecial to the News from Oklahoma City, O.T., says: \u2014\u201cThere is an uprising in the Seminole Nation, and one hundred armed Indians have killed twenty-five citizens of Pot tawattamie county, this territory.\u2018Lhe Indians are seeking to avenge the recent burning of Lincoln McGeisey and Palmer Simpson, two Indians of the Seminole tribe, who were accused of murdering and outraging Mrs.Leard, of Maud.A special train load of armed citizens has gone to Marlborough, ten miles from Maud, and excitement is higher than ever known before.1 South McAlister, I1.T., Jan, 12.\u2014A telegram receiV®l here at 6.40 o'clock last ' evening by the train despatcher of the Choctaw & Gulf Railway, states that a band of 150 Seminole Indians is on the war path, and is leaving behind it a trail of blood.A telegram was sent by \u201cthe railroad\u2019 station agent at Marlborough.: The brief information conveyed was that the Seminoles were avenging the work ot the mob of white men that burned the two Seminoles, and \u201chad already killed twenty-five men, women and children.tente ete 1 SABBATH.DAY LAWS.Loid\u2019s Day Allance Asks for Radica Changes.Toronto, Jam: 12.\u2014The hottest time in this session of the Legislature was for two hours and a half yesterday afternoon in the big reception room of the Legislative buildings, when deputations representing the Lorde\u2019 Day Alliance and also interests and industries all over the country that are opposed to the provisions of the act now before the House, were heard by Premier Hardy, and the Hon.Messrs.Ross, Gibson, Dryden, Harcourt, Harty and Davis._ Those opposed to the bill were heard first.There were eighteen speakers, including Nichol Kingsmill, Mr.Cockshutt, A.T.Woëd, M.P., of Hamilton, who said that if the blast furnace there could not run on Sunday it would ruin that industry; J.B.Morfort, J.Bell, QC, M.Conners, B.F.Folger, the Kingston forwarder; Jas.Haverson, Mr.Gildersleeve, R.& O.Navigation Company; Sir Frank Smith, \u201cOntario Navigation Company, and others.The Lord\u2019s Day Alliance speakers were J.K.Macdonald, J.Paterson, J.F.Mc- Laren, Rev.Dr.Caven and Rev.J.©.Shearer.The latter dicclaimed any intention of interfering in any way with the industries represented.Mr.Laidlaw, Q.C., asked if the decisitn of the courts, interpreting the word \u2018\u2018traveller,\u201d were reversed, wculd the Alliance work for the abolition of Sunday cars.Mr.Macdonald declined to answer.Premier Hardy, in reply to the deputation, said he did not want it to be thought the bill would renew the old street car fight.The bill left that matter just where it was.The question of Sunday observance was a very difficult one.Difii- and windows will be illuminated for decorative effect.Public or street lighting will not alone be extended into every street, byway and lane, but lamps will be increased in number in every thoroughfare, because possible within rensonable expenditure, and the city will become bright, cheerful, healthful and clean, and its streets at night be as safe as under the glare of she noonday sun.This is no idle .ber of industries affected was greater than culties had cropped up that the Government did not know of.\u2018The whéle matter would be carefully considered before being disposed of in the Legislature, The num-¢ anticipated.He promised to consider all these things in passing the bill.The Allan Line &8.Laurentian from Liv- enpool, arrived at Pontl4nd at 6 amu.on Tuesday, NON-CONFIDENCE = MOTORS, Several Voted Down in the Legistature.-_ \u2014\" CONSERVATIVES VOTE NAY.Two Cast in Their Lot.With the word per insertion.cent na price of four.\u2014 F r spanlel, Y FOR SALE\u2014A fine water oP ost.1 ship Ticket Board © FOR SALB\u2014 Member Jet December, 1898, Apply C H ] Herald Office.: J h, ra FOR SALE\u2014Famous bed-busg, roach, Jat FOR SALE\u2014For the millloz, xindling 0 ta ~\u2014 m\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 FOR SALE.Lead balf & ts under this Six inseriions Advextisemen old, Apply 162 St.SALE\u2014Light sleigh, FOR od order.Apply 156 ith robe, in Ottawa Street.All membership fees paid up 25¢, and mice killer in.tins, not ~luar ed if it does NO- $1, Money return eo agonts your house, treet 31 71 Main S selling this.ng $2.00° cut maple, $2.50;

but the arguments of the champions of the late Government had the additional effect of sending into the ranks of the Liberals a staunch Conservative like | Mr.Girard, of Lake St.John, and, on one motion, Mr.D\u2019Auteuil, of Charlevoix.The Opposition\u2019s measures, therefore, were singularly unsuccessful, and their carefully charged autillery only did execution in the recoil, The four or five want of confidence motions set forth one or other of the grounds upon which the Opposition pretends that the Government has exposed itself to censure.When the Hom.Mr.Marchand moved concurrence in the loan resolutions, Mr.Marion proposed a motion of want of confidence in the Government.The Government was sustained, notwithstanding.by 47 to 17, Mr.Girard, Lake St.John, hitherto an uncompromising Conservative, and elected as such, voting with the Government, The Hon.Mr.Marchand mext moved the House into Committee of Supply, and the Hon.Mr.Pelletier moved a fresh vote of mon-confidence.The division which fol- Yowad, dhowed that out of @ House »f sixty- five members, forty-eight had confidence in the Government, among them again being Mr.Girard.A subsequent motion of mon-confidence proposed by Mr.Duplassis.resulted in still further discomfiture for the Opposition, for Mr.D\u2019Auteuil, Charlevoix, another strong Conservative, voted in the majority, together with Mr.Girard.Then Mr.Normand, Three Rivers, took a (hand; but \u2018his motion of mon-confidence, cunningly framed, received as little support as amy of the others.Mr.Marion\u2019s Motion.That all the words after \u201cthat\u201d in the motion be struck out, and replaced by the following : \u2014 \u201cThis House observes that the Government asks to be authorized to borrow $1, 500,000, alleging that™tt is for the purpose of paying the floating debt and the subsidies to which certain companies may be entitled.\u201cThat in the statement of these liabilities which the Homorable Treasurer and Prime Minister have verbally communicated to this House, he has erroneously included in the sum total of the subsidies amounting to $1,121,967.03, a sum of $482,- 963.57, representing the land subsidies converted into momey at seventeen and a half cents per acre, and not yet earned, and! for which the act of last session, 60 Victoria, ; chapter 4, authorized a loan.\u201cThat in the statement laid before this | House and setting forth the details of the | expenditure for certain services for the year 1898-99, the Government estimated at the sum of $50,000, the interest to be paid on a loan to be effeated to the amount of $1,250,000, and hes mot estimated the interest to be paid on a loan of $1,500,000.making a difference of $10,000 more for the annual interest.\u201cThat according to the figures of the receipts and expenses for the year commencing 1st July last up to the 8th D:ccraber last there is a deficit of over $400,000, not including the repayment of railway guarantee deposits and railway subsidies.\u201cThat certain appropriations euch as those for surveys and the prose:xtion of forests voted for the current yeir are already exhausted and the (overnment has not made any provision to pay the accounis due and those which will become due Le- tween.now and the cnd of June for such : services.\u201cThe resolutions do not specify the special engagements that are to Le met by that loan, and thwt if such resolutions become law, the Government may mak2 use cf that loan to meet the deficits that it is preparing for itself for the current and following years.\u201cThat the Government has not indicated the ways and means necessirv to meet the financial situation as it has represented it to us, and that it has wot indicated the retrenchments which according to it should be made in the Budget.\u201cThat the information and explanations given by the Honorable Treasurer are not satisfactory, and do not warrant this Hovse in adopting the resolutions to smthorize the loan in question; moreover the entire conduct of the party now in power whon it Was in opposition protests against its present policy.\u201cWherefore this House refuses to concur in these resblutions.The vote\u2014Yeas, 17;

that the bank was the creditor of Mr.Trottier when it was voted; that the Court could not decide the question as to whether the resolution was ultra vires, as that question had not been raised in the plea, but only in the replique.From all the circumstances of the case, it was evident that the directors in voting this pension had intended that it should hold good as long as Mr, Trottier should live, and that they did not intend to take away with one hand what they gave with the other.The amount was not excessive, and as Mr.Trottier needed it for his live- fihood the judgment was confirmed.MORTALITY OF THE WEEK, There was a slight decrease in the mortality for the past week, the total number of interments being 107\u201489 in the Catholic &nd 18 in the Protestant cemeteries.The deaths from diphtheria have been gradually decreasing, until one patient succumbed during the past eight days, being complicated by a severe attack of croup.The causes of death were as follows:\u2014 Coxsumption, 22;

CHAPLEAU-TARTE LETTER- Portions of it Given to the Press and Widely Published.\u2014\u2014\u2014 The following appears in the Kingston News, Brockvalle Times, the Toronto World, the St.John Sun, the Moncton Times, and, probably other papers: \u201cYour correspondent has at last secured the full details of the famous Chapleau- Tarte letter, the text of which cannot long be delayed.\u201cThat the head of the Executive of this Province has been for months plotting with Hon.Mr.Tarte to first secure control of the Quebec Legislature, and later on form a coalition with both mt Quebec and Ottawa, does not mow.admit of any doubt, \u201cOn the night of November 17, 1896, Sir Joseph A.Chapleau, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Quebec, and formerly a Conservative leader, sat down before midnight at Spencerwood and penned an extraordinary political epistle to the archenemy of the Conservative party, Hon.J.Israel Tarte.The letfer was marked, \u2018Private and confidential,\u201d and it was not written in the second person, \u2018You\u2019 being used instead of \u2018Thee\u2019 and \u2018Thou,\u2019 ns is generally the case when intimate friends write and speak in French; and for this reason the letter may be termed a political document, \u201cSir Adolphe beging by declaring that he owes Mr.Tarte an apology for not having replied sooner to the Minister's first letter.Then His Honor comps direct to business, and states that Mr.Tarte, being the Conservative element in the Cabinet, is in constant conflict with the Grits of Ontario, and the radicalism of Quebec.\u2018Shoot the banditti\u2019 adds Sir Adolphe, \u2018they deserve nothing else, being only on ticket-of-leave.If they give you trouble, these Castor-Rouges, I edn assure you that 1 have had no less difficulty with my Cas- tor-Bleus.\u201d : \u201cThe Lieutenant-Governor then proceeds to reproach Mr.Tarte, yet he does it very tenderly, for declaring at St.Scholastique that the Libetal war cry would now be \u2018On to Quebec!\u2019 \u201cThis sentence will be understood when it is presumed that Chapleau and Tarte were working for a fie as the result of coming Provincial elections, and His Honor writes: \u2018The time is at hand at Quebac when we are to put our projects into exe- eution.\u201d \u201cReferring to the St.Scholastique Înci- dent, His Honor added: \u2018I may be per pitted to say that you were imprudent.\u2019 \u201cThen with regard to the two political organizations known as the Liberal and Tory parties, Sir Adolphe Chapleau expresses his contempt of them in the following language: \u2018The parties are but so many pens where the voting cattia are kept.We do not belong to this little chapel, but rather to the Grand Temple, where all the r:en of good will do congregate.\u2019 \u201cSir Adolphe then tells Mr.Tarte that thev must meet in order to fix upon more definite plans.\u201cReferring to the newspaper press the Lieutenant-Governor again writes: \u2018You will perceive by the tone of La Presse that it favors our plans.Berthiaume is well disposed, and he and Dansercau will look after that.Do not mind certain articles, however, as Blumhart is difficult to control.As for Le Monde, N'antel is well disposed.He is not your enemy, but he is the proprietor, not the editor.Martin does ont know our plans, but he is a good watch-dog and defends his master\u2019s castle with desperation when he thinks it is attacked.\u201cSir Adolphe Chapleau likewise writes that he met Laurier and touched upon the question, but as yet he had received no reply; and again, \u2018You have not forgotten the role I played in preventing ambitious Nowa Scotia from ruling the country with a panty founded forty years ago, and tn which the bad elements predominated over the good.\u201d \u201d\u201d RAILWAYS.INRIA The Quickest, Most Direct and Popular Route to the KLONDYKE \u2014AND - YUKON GOLD FIELDS, Choice of several routes, and impartial Information given, Full particulars as to sailings of all Steamers from Pacific Coast cities for Alaska, and accommodation reserved in advance thereon.Through ssenger quoted, passeng Alaska pamphlets and maps contalning full information as to the Yukon district, furnished on application to any Grand Trunk Agent, and \u2018freight rates CITY TICKET OFFICE, 137 St.James St, and Bonaventure Station.Ihtercolonial Division, On and after Monday, the 4th October, 1897, the trains of this Railway will run daily (Sunday excepted) as follows: Leave Montreal by Grand Trunk Railway, from Bonaventure Depot Leave Montreal by Canadian Pacific Itaillway, from Windsor Street Depot ,, +++0+.Leave Levis .19.45 Arrive } River du Loup a.Trois Pistoles v.\u2026.\u2026.: Rimouski .: Ste.Flavie .\u201c Littie Metis Campbellton Dalhousie .Bathurst .\u2018\u201c\u201c New Castle «.o.\u201c Jltiit 6.30 15.55 \u201c ppneton III SEL 10:80 13.00 \u201c Halifax °°.18.30 22.10 The trains to Halifax and St, John run through to their destination on Sunday.The buffet sleeping car and other Cars of express trains leaving Montreal at 7.50 o'clock, run through to Halifax without change.The trains of the Intercolonia!

both processes are neces- gary.We are handicapped by floating liabilities that will take teneyears to pay, even with the extra quarter of 1 per cent.It \u2018is not too much to say that extra taxation might have been avoided, bub the time for doing so was years ago.It cannot be avoided now.The spendthrift cannot demolish his debte by inerely expressing contrition for what he has done.There are obliga- tions\u2014promises to pay in one way or an- other\u2014amounting to nearly two millions hanging over the heads of Montreal taxpay- ars, and, as Ald.Prefontaine says, \u201cIt is time to face the music.\u201d That real estate owners can be vigorous enough in caring for their own, we are sometimes reminded, when half-a-dozen or so of them undertake bo have a street widened.If all the rest were kept on the qui vive from year to year by the likelihood of variation in their tax bills, we might expect a more wholesome state of affairs at the City Hall, and instead of aldermen running the gamut of extravagance and then cynically calling upon the taxpayers to \u2018face the music,\u201d we should have the taxpayers ever vigilant in their own interests, and the aldermen \u201cfacing the music\u201d in good earnest at every election.By all means let us have à variable tax rate as soon as possible so that Montreal may get down to business on a right basis.MUNICIPAL COMMITTEES.Two aldermen whose views on the municipal situation were recently given in The Herald expressed the opinion that an altogether unreasonable amount of a business man\u2019s time is consumed by a faithful attendance upon the work of the committees.As we have repeatedly pointed out this is -one of the most serious obstacles to the improvement of the Council, If a man of affairs finds it necessary to go to the City Hall almost every day of the week, and to remain there for several hours that would otherwise be devoted to his business affairs, he is quite likely to find, after ome term of such experience, that the demands upon his time are al- togsther too great, with the result that he retires from the Council, and both by example and precept discourages other business men from accepting candidature for aldermanic honors.\u2018 The amalgamation of committees, which has been recommended by a special committee, and may be adopted by Council this week, will do much to remove this obstacle to getting better aldermanic candidates.To have seven committees 1n charge of the work now done by eleven would effect a considerable saving ot time, and if a majority of the aldermen were really solicitous about doing the work of the city as it should be done, the new system could be made to give a good measure of satisfaction.\u2018Lhe amalgamation now proposed should not, however, be looked upon as more than a short step in the path of reform.Under the best rircumstances we can hope for we are not likely to have a board of aldermen so unreservedly devoted to the interests ot the citizens that responsibility for expenditures and patrcnage can with safety be gpread over even seven committees.11 one of these committees were in a position to exercise a directing influence over the others the result would be better, as the plans of all the committees would be subjected to revision by a committee not personally interested in them.The Finance Committee is supposed to exercise some such function as this now, and in order that it may more faithfully discharge this duty, it is stipulated in the new amalgamation scheme that the members of the Finance Committee shall not be members of any other committee.Examination, however, discloses that this rule will give only a partial remedy.As things are done now, the estimates of all committees come before the Finance Committee for revision.The Finance Committee apportions the money at ite disposal.If a member of \u2018the Finance Committee has a pet scheme going through any of the other committees, there is an inducement for him to see that plenty of money is put at ! the disposal of that committee.But when the Finance Committee has thus apportioned the funds, its responsibility ends.Its members are not held to be at fault if necessary work 4s left wnprovided for; if, for example, there is not evough money provided to keep the Fire Department in work: ing order.Interest on the debt they never fail to provide, because the debenture hiold- ers have the remedy against sudh a failure in their hands, and the courts are ready to apply it; but almost any \u2018other necessity can be dodged.If this committee were responsible to Council for all that ie done and could veto one expenditure or suggest another, our municipal government would be put upon a better basis.It is oË no vital importance to the community whether the Finance Committee be given the re quired powers in addition to those they now exercise, or whether a still smaller executive -or- administrative body be formed within the Council.So long as responsibility is divided amongst all the committees and so long as the dhairmen thereof regard themselves and are regarded by their committees and eyen' by outsiders as petty kings, there is small hope of making an end of extravagant methods, The smaller the executive board by which the city\u2019s money is expended, according always to the Council\u2019s order, the better for the city.The proposed amalgamation is à move in the right direction.But it is not enough to eolve the problem of how to get a better class of men into the Council, AAAS NAS Sir Wiilam Van Horne on Municipal Extravagance.It is not creditable to the Intelligence of the workingmen that they are \"so easily led to believe that \u2018the poor get the benefit of the\u2019 extravagant inun:- cipal expenditures.The poor puy for them all a good many ites over and with the certainty of a law of nature, Every niunleipal extravagance chills capital as checks enterprise, and the resuit falls at once upon the workiag classes.The wasteful exendiiuare of a hundred thoussud dvilars may, in Its effect upon capital and enterprise, cust dane working classes a milllon; for enterprise and capital cannot be confined within the limits of any ty, and they are quick to get out of the reach of attack or unjust taxation, If they are unfairly treated at home they are sure to go abroad, and who sufyers then?There never can be prosperity among the working classes where the employment of cauital is not safe and profitable.In all communities where the conditions do not admit of profitable enterprises and the accumulation of wealth by corporations and individuals, the lot of the poor is wretched, indeed,\u2019\u2014From a letter dated Jan.28, 1697.$ L The business situation in the United States, viewed \u2018through the medium ot Wall street, appears to be on the mend.In that centre, during last week, securities took on a good deal stronger aspect, the result of heavy speculative trading.It would be important to know whether the buying came from the public, or was more of a professional speculative character.Public purchases of stocks would be a splendid sign, and the source of the buying may in fact become known if the volume keeps up during he present week The market has had various trade reports lmid before it, and the fact that atocke have liad an upward tendency is most encouraging.It is evident that confidence 1s placed in these statements, and the trade of the coming monthe.In such indus tries as the iron trade, the woollen trade and the boot and shoe trade, the indications are said to be extremely encouraging, pointing, as they do, to a larger volume of business than me been experienced for a long time.In all these industries, moreover, the basic conditions are unusually healthy, this being particularly the case with iron and boots and shoes, in spite of low prices in both lines.Another con sideration is the better business being done by the railroads, and aa the result of this geveral advances in dividends are expected.Then there is the improbability of gold exports for some time to come, although any statement in this matter is more or less speculative.The best authorities say that if gold does go forward it will not be in very large quantities, Added to these business signs and symp- tons is the reassuring belief that Congress will not prove a source of serious disturbance.MONTREAL'S COMING TRADE, The Parry Sound Railway is rapidly coming Montreal-ward with its preparations for handling large quantities of Western grain.The elevator at Coteau Landing with a capacity of balf-a-million bushels, which was announced in yesterday's Herald, is another evidence, following upon that furnished by the million bushel elevator at the other end of the line at Parry Sound, that Mr.Booth and his associates are in earnest.\u2018Montreal's interest in the enterprise does mot need to be stated.Whatever grain comes to Parry Sound and to Coteau Landing wid -come to Montreal.The trade currents are flowing toward this city.And in this direction they muet continue to flow.The lines of trade in Canada are going to be east and west, not north and south.Montreal will be the New York of this northern half of America and will share in and reflect the growth.not of one Province or section, but of the \u201cLOCHFYNB,\"\u201d $1.75 per Express, LA INTIMIDAD.Price per 100, Favoritos .In boxes of 50.$10.50 Conchas Bouquets .In boxes of 50.12.00 Reina Victoria Ele- gante .+.cesses In boxes of 50.12.50 Panetelas .In boxes of 50.14.00 H, UPMANN & CO.Conchas Extra ., .1n boxes of 50.9.50 Princesas .In boxes of 50.11.30 Puritanos Finos .In boxes of 50.12.50 Regalia Real .In boxes of 50.13.00 Principe de Gales .In boxes of 50.- 15.00 Perlag .In boxes of 50.17.00 Regalia.Elegante .In boxes of 25.18.00 MANUEL GARCIA (Alonzo), Petit Bouquets .In hoxes of 50.11.50 Bouquets .In boxes of 50.15.00 Petit Ducs .\u2026.\u2026.In boxes of 50.13.50 CABANAS.Conchas Especiales.In boxes of 50.10.50 Puritanos .In boxes of 50.12.00 Petit Dues .In boxes of 50.14.00 Regalia Excelente .In boxes of 50.19.00 Magnolias .In boxes of 50.19.00 BOCK & CO.(Golden Eagle) Puritanos Finos .In boxes of 50.12.50 Brevas +.+.s\u2026ou00 In boxes of 100.15.00 ;

a road macadamized or any local improvement what- \u2018ever made which the local council disapproves, they can go to Quebec and Quebec will taka upon itself to order those works to be done, and will undertake, moreover, if necessary, to impose and collect the taxes! Is it mot, then, evident that the Quebec Legislature has committed a blunder in taking upon itself to administer our raunicipal affairs?Is it not manifest that its scope should be confined simply to the orgamic Jaws of the municipality, and its interference limited to cases involving the general interests of the country?Ts it not evident, in fine, that, in arrogating to itself powers which both the letter and the spirit of the act of union refuses to it, the Tegislature has acted unconstitutionally?The matter is, in every respect, go important, so serious, so pregnant with riske and Cangers to our municipal institutions that we are justified in asking of the Lieuten- ant-Governorin-Council not to sanction such a law, but to submit the question of its fegality ta the Clovenor-Generadin-

be happy to hear any new proposals that they might wish to make to \u2018him.We hope, then, that, following out the rule of moderation, of kinddi- ness and of brotherly love of which the Holy Father speaks, the authorities will succeed in rendering to the Catholics of Manitoba the fol satisfaction to which they have a right: They ought not, in the meantime, howefer, to refuse partial concessions.It Patrie.\u2014~The Encyclical will Le received with respect by our fellow-citizens of other creeds thei: ours.They will find in it the proof thatrthere is nothing in the |- policy of the Vatican to do violence to their consciences, but, on the contrary.The desire of the Pope is that the people of this country should enjoy in civil and religious peace the 'constitutional privileges which belong to all good and floyal subjects of Her.Majesty.La Patrie adheres, without hesitation, joyfully, to the line of aonduct marked out by the Sovereign Pontiff.La Presse \u2014With the Encyclical, which is the very word of the head of the Church, one of fhe most troubled pages of the contemaprary history of Catholic Canada.has been closed to all doctrinal controversy.The natural right of the parent and the divine right of religious authority are defined and asserted.The admirable statement of Him who is the infallible teacher sums up in a tangible and visible form the very principles on which the Catholic conscience is moulded.The obligations are outlined, and the duties stated.The imprudence, the rashness, the errors and the encroachments of the past on a sacred and exclusive domain in the heated times of political passion and sectarian hate are no more possible.The course of the Catholic appears clear and evident, stripped of all ambiguity and all misconception.La Presse, in coffformity with its traditions, with its reiterated professions of faith, with its previous attitude on the particular question treated of, accepts without any restriction, without misgiving, and with absolute acquicecence, the judgment of Rome, not only in the letter, but in they spirit of it\u2014in a word, in all the ful ness of its scope, and of all the.results which episcopal authority, to which alone belongs the faculty of ite interpretation, may deduce from it.To the representatives of the Holy See in Canada, the bich- ops, and to them alone, really belongs the right to interpret and comment upon the papal dooument.The duty, then, ot a Catholic journal is to follaw the guidance, to give ear to the corizels, and to put in practice the rules and advice of the competent authority with entire submission.The schnol question, in its religious aspect, is thus fenced within bounds got hereafter to be overleapt.The territory on which Catholic Rome plants herself is not less inviolable in the eyes of the faithful than was, formerly, the ground on which ancient Rome concentrated, round one centre, her invincible force.And the whole of Canada ought fo-day to congratulate iteelf\u2014sincere Protestants as well as Catholics, and all men of peace and goodwill\u2014on seeing this vexatious question thus simplified.If the confidence of Protestants has \u2018been, hitherto, ghock- ed at the divisions and quarrels of Catholics, by the diversity and lukewarmmess of their demands, henceforth our citizens of another race, being witnesses of the fusion of all opinions in one common judgment, will have no longer a pretext to refuse the constitutional rights, unanimous ly demanded in accordance with conscience.The School Question.Le Canada (Ottawa).\u2014As regards the appointment (by the Provincial Government) of a Catholic inspector, authorized to select the books intended for the religious instruction of Catholic children\u2014 hat guarantee does such an inspector offer to the Catholic minority ?Will he, in the choice of those books be influenced by the true spirit of the Catholic religion ?May he mot, on the contrary, act under the inspiration of the freethinking, indifferent, and infidel school ot Voltaire, to which, unfortunately, belong a great number of men who have received Catholic baptism ?The

The first resolution was in reference to the proposed increase of taxation, and was proposed by Mr.John Barry, seconded by Mr.Alphonse Champagne.It wae as fol lows :\u2014\u201cThat the proprietors of real estate at this meeting assembled energetically protest against the proposed increase of the taxation of real estate in Montreal; that real estate already bears all the charges it can reasonably support; that this meeting complains particularly that this increase of taxation is to be imposed without any notice whatever, and even without the City Council demanding it; that this meeting energetically protests egainst any costly public improvements being made while the city is without the necessary means to meet same.\u201d In supporting his resolution Mr.Barry expressed his desire to draw special attention to the action of the Mayor, who, he said, took upon himself to have amendments made to the charter providing for taxing people without asking or bringing it before the Council or the city.Mr.Barry was also very emphatic in his opinion that the voters in St.Ann\u2019s, St.Mary\u2019s, and St.James\u2019 divisions should call on their representatives to resign their seats as soon as the session was over at Quebec.Mr.Foster remarked that the lethargy exhibited in the past in regard to taxation wag unpardonable.In half a dozen years twenty-five millions had been spent and the city had got nothing for it, end property was worth less than nothing.If their nanny Eye Glasses.Don\u2019t spoil your Oculist\u2019s prescription by having it careless- [i ly executed.When he gives | you an order for glasses, let us § fill it for you.g Filling oculists\u2019 prescriptions is our oculists ONE J BUSINESS.: HENRY BIRKS & SONS | PHILLIPS SQUARE.property to-day they could mot get fifty per cent.as much as they could a few years ago.If no one moved in the matter the result would be in time that no one would have anything left.St.An- Toine street\u201cwas to be widened to benefit a few speculators.Mr.Foster concluded by calling on property owners to rally together and resist iniquitous taxation and ruinous schemes.J Dr.Lamarche made a rousing speech lu support of Mr.Barry\u2019s resolution, protesting in vigorous language against the proposed tax.There was some very sharp criticism of the members of the Council from the ex-alderman, who went over the deals of the last few years in reviewing the situation to which they had brought the city.At the same time he pointed out that the composition of the Council was in the hands of the people themselves, who were to blame for sending such men to represent them.The electors were too ready to fellow any man who was put up or who put himself up, without inquiring what his end was in becoming a candidate.Now that an opportunity was at hand to change the complexion of the Council the people should put in power men who would act honestly and in the interests of the city.It was the duty of every citizen to take part in the general elections, and have a definite programme on which to oppose the present aldermen.Mr.Leveque read a statement which he hadaprepared from the annual reports of the Ulity Treasurer and City Comptroller.The consolidated debt now stands at $24,434,428, and the floating debt at 82,- 392,229, the latter being made up of the fcllowing items: Open accounts, $630,772; harbor loans, \u20188560,822; temporary loans, $16,504; other engagements, $1,184,041.Adding the $872,824 which the city would now have to borrow by the new bill the total debt would reach the high figure of $27,609,479.The following summmary of the increase in taxable property was given as a comparison with the disproportionate increase in the burden of debt and taxation: 1894, $135,267,765; 1895, $137, 72,09; 1896, 139,969,315; 1897, $147,784, In 1896 the Legislature authorized & new; loan of $587,440, an increase of 28 per cent.over the previous year.It was now sought to saddle theci ty with borrowing powers of $872,424 more, an augmentation of 48 per cent over 1896.The revenue last year was $2,886,061, and the expenditure $2,865,641, leaving a balance of $420, which was not sufficient to pay interest on the proposed loan.Mr.Lemoureux added hie protest against against the general extravagance of the Council.Mr.Hart also supported the resolution, and urged those present who were not members of the Association to join it.He pointed out the good service rendered by the Association during the last ten years, and added: \u201cIf it had not been for the action at various times of the Real Estate Owners\u2019 Association tne city would be bankrupt to-day.\u201d After speeches from Mr.Frigon, and Ald.Reneault, Mr.Barry's motion was put to the meeting and carried by a unanimous vote.Mr.Dryadale proposed, seconded by Mr.Lamoureux, that the following resolution adopted at a recent meeting of the members of the Real Estate Owners\u2019 Association be confirmed: \u2014\u2018\u201cThat the Legislature be dsked to refuse any augmentation of the borrowing power of the Uity ot Montreal that the aldermen may ask for until the new charter promised by the said aldermen be completed and until new sources of revenue have been found in order to meet the additional interest which would be thus incurred.\u201d This was carried, and the meeting then adjourned.Messrs.Nolan, Delisle, Le- veque, and Turgeen wemt down to Quebec this morning to: lay the resolutions of this mass meeting before the members of the Legislative Asembly.Mr.Gustave Lamothe left for the same purpose last night.IN STE.CUNEGONDE.The Municipal Contest Getting Warm\u2014 Last Night's Meeting.Ste.Cunegonde electors had a rousing meeting at the Town Hall last night, when the six candidates for aldermanic honors made speeches asking for the vote and influence of the people.There are contests in three wards, the following gentlemen being the candidates: \u2014Mr.C.P.Fabien and Mr.Ernest Campbell, candidates for the South Ward; Mr.Noel Emond and Mr.Joseph C.Guay, West Ward, and Mr.noie Lippe and Mr.Joseph Roy, East land.Each of the candidates was backed up by a number of speakers, among them being Mr.Drouin and Mr.J.L.Ladurantye, for Mr.Campbell.Mr.Fabien\u2019s cause was well looked after by Mr.L.T.Maredhal; Mr.Lippe, was advocated by Mr.T.Pag nuelo, and Mr.L.J.Loranger pleaded for Mr.Guay in the west, and Mr.Lippe in the east ward.The speeches were listened to amid much enthusiasm, the arguments in favor of the different candidates being fréquently applauded.OPPOSE THE SCHEMES, Board of Trade Council Endorses Mr Bickerdike\u2019's Stand.The Board of Trade yesterday despatched the following message to Mr.Robert Bickerdike, M.P.P., for St.Antoine Ward, endorsing the stand he has taken in regard to the expropriation clauses in the montreal bill: \u201cMontreal, January 11fh, 1898.\u201cR.Bickerdike, M.L.A., Quebec.\u201cCouncil Montreal Board of Trade en- dorseg position taken by you in opposing expropriation schemes, and prefers that bill should be withdrawn rather than passed as amended by the committee.\u201cJOHN McKERGOW, President.\u201cF.W.EVANS.\u2018Chairman Municipal Committee.\u201d - DEATH OF MICHAEL LALLY.Cornwall, Jan.12.\u2014(Special.)\u2014A very sad death occurred on Saturday evening last.Mr.Michael Lally was seized with a sudden acute attack of Bright's disease, and inside of two hours he was dead.He was one of the most popular young men in Cornwall, and his untimely death is sincerely regretted.He was 35 years of age, and had been married just two months op the day of his death.He was a younger brother of Frank Lally, the well- known lacrosse man, and a nephew of J.G.Snetsinger, M.P.The funeral took place yesterday morning from the residence of Mr.Frank Lally.WA WA GOLD RUSH.Sault Ste.Marie, Mich., Jan.12.\u2014Re- ports from the Lake Wa Wa region state that the work of developing gold claims iz being pushed vigorously, and that the petitions made for the region last fall have been substantiated.It is expected that as soon as mavigation opens up there will be a rush of prospectors from all over the country.The Johnson claim has panned out well, if reports can be believed.A shaft thirty-two feet deep has been sunk, and free gold in the sugary quartz has been found in large quantities.The Lawlor claim shows the same results.The Harvey Dreany claim is also devel oped.2 - THE HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1898.x T NEWS NOTES 3 Seth Cole, license inspector for the city ot Brantford, is dead.Miss Margaret Goldsmith, a student at Albert College, Belleville, died suddenly.On Thursday, Kingston will vote on a bonus to the Abbott Rolling Mill Co.A.W.Hawley\u2019s drug store, Trenton, has heen damaged to the amount of $3,000 by fire.Zeigler & Hyndh, general storekeepers of Guelph, have assigned, with liabilities of $25,000.Thomas Meston, for several years secre- tary-treasurer of the Hamilton (Ont.)

HERALD, WEDNESDAY JANUARY 12, 1898.\u201cTWAS A CREAT VICTORY.Victorias and Montreals Play a Very Fast Game, VICTORIAS 4, MONTREALS 3.Vics Secured the Victory in the Last Few Seconds.meer AT THE CURLING RINKS, The Toronto Lacrosse Club Will be Strong Next Year\u2014Sports of all Sorts It was a great game that nearly two thousand peaple witnessed at the Victoria Rink last night, when the Montreal and Victoria hockey teams met for the first time in the championship series this season.A week before, the two teams had met, and the Montreals scored a signal victory.Montreal was, if anything, stronger last night thah on the former occasion, and the Victorias had the same representatives, That rather indicated a Montreal victory last night, but there was something in the old habit the Vics had of winning a championship game and losing an exhibition one that made the followers of fha Montreals ask for big odds in any betting that there was, and gave the Victorias a confidence in themselves that the facts of the case would hardly warrant.The old habit stood by them, and in ten minutes the Vies plucked victory from one of the fastest hockey matches ever played in the Victoria rink.The immense building was filled with spectators, and every play, however trivial or unimportant, was cheered to the echo.As usual, the Montreals had the greater number of sympathisers, and the slightest failure of a Victoria to secure the puck was the signal for storms of applause.The old antagonism to Mike Grant, of the Vics, was displayed Ly a crowd of dis graceful hoodluns, who hissed and jeered that sterling and gentlemanly player incessantly throughout the game, Those who displayed such lamentably poor taste are in no way connected with the Mont- realers, but are made up of that riff-rait Who alwäys attend hockey matches and cndeavor to see how they can best display their gross ignorance of good manners or good hockey.Once, avhen, in fairly checking an oppoment, the latter fell, there was a storm of hisses and moans of which Grant was the target that was a disgrace to sport and an exhibition of vulgarity that one would hardly expect to find in Montreal.Mike Grant is one of the best players that ever held a stick, and it is for that reason that these hoodlums treat him as they do.The game certainly was one of the fastest ever seen here, but it was by no means as full of good hockey as the average match.It was its speed that made it such a magnificent game, and the sensational victory of the Victorias, when there was but a very shont time to play, that made it one long to be remembered.The best team won.The score was very even, and the little &ifference in it indicates how much better the Vics are than their opponents of last might.In the first hall the Montreals scored three times to their opponents\u2019 once.This gave the M.A.A.A.supporters every reason to predict victory, and they were consequently very confident of the result.But the play in the first half was by no means altogether in their favor.Owing to the magnificent defence work of Grant and Hartland Macdougali, Lewis was not called upon to make as many stops as was Collins.But, on the forward divisions, the Montreals showed | up to \"better advantage, the four men working both individually and in combination, to perfection.It was a positive delight to a lover of good hockey to see their rushes, and the clever manner in which they were stopped by the Vics\u2019 defence.Only R.Macdougall, of the Victoria forwards, showed up to his best advantage in \u2018the first half, his stick handling and speed being superb.The Vies did not get in that combination work that has made them champions several times, The second half opened as the former one closed, the Vies getting by mo means time.passin the A ay the Kine somewhat fool Rly.\u201chedly, and checking oolishly.The play was a little slower, the defences lifting to one another with almost monotonous regularity.But when the puck became mixed up with the forwards the play was fast enough tg excite the most b'ase observer.The ex citement became intense, and.neither side had any advantage, Within eleven minutes of the time to finish the play was greatly in favor of the Vies, and they #cored three games, which gave them the match.The last was scored a few seconds before time was called, and it was not known until then that the Vics hag hundreds of friends in that big rink full of people.Two of the games were scored by the aid of combination work that could not be excelled, and the last from a long Scrimmage in front of the Montreal goal.\u201d Of the victors individually it is hard to say anything.Each man put up a superb game, and to each man just one-geventh of the victory is due.Mike Grant's superb 0 Ang Was perhaps the distinguishing fea- Lut e.[Lime and time again the puck went rom 18 stick directly into the Montreal goal, and it was a wonder \u2018he did not score.His whole game was perfect.Hartland Macdougall made a splendid point, and Gordon Lewis made same sen sational stops.Shirley Davidson played through! the second, half with one hand practically useless, but he played a brilliant game.Bob Macdougall was the star forward of the two teams, and Gra ham Drinkwater and Earnie MeLea did their share of the work admirably, The former as captain handled his man cleverly, Collins in the Montreal goal played a wonderfully good game.At times the shots passed into him as if from a gatling gun, but he was equal to them, and { Baird made à magnificent defence.Both lifted well, and the laiter\u2019s checking was just about perfect.McKerrow, Horsfall Locke and Howard are a quartette of forwards that will keep any team in the world guessing.| As the season grows older they will be found working together like four parts of a piece of machinery.Their passing last night was good when they tried it, and their speed was remarkable.Among other characteristics that made the game a wonderfully good one to watch was the almost total absence of long stops.Only once it delayed while a skate was being fixed.Another feature\u2014and a most commendable one, when the speed of the match is considered\u2014was that mot once did the referee have even to warn any player for rough or foul work.But few games can claim such a record.The off-sides were notably few.Mr.Chittick, of Ottawa, made an ac ceptable referee, and Messrs.Wall and Elliott were the umpires.Messrs.Finlay and MoRobie held the watch.The teams lined up as follows: Victoria.Montreal.Lewis.Goal.\u2026\u2026.Collins H.MacDougall., .Point.James Grant.Cover.Baird Drinkwater.Forwards.McKerrow R.MacDougall.< os + -.Horsfall Davidson.\u201c .Locke Mclea.\u201c «.«.«Howard The games were scored as follows.Montreal, by Locke.Victoria, by McLea.Montreal, by Locke.Co Montreal, by MeKerrow.=.Victoria, by Drinkwater.Victoria, by Drinkwater.Victoria, by R.Macdougall.The Play.The match opened by a rush on the Victoria goals which were relieved by Grant.For a time Collins had some hair raisers but none got past him.The players were just getting their footing when the Montreal forwards swooped down on Lewis and the umpire\u2019s hand and a mighty shriek of joy went up together.Montreal had scored first blood and Locke had done the trick.From the face the Vies rushed ®he puck into Collins\u2019 garden but Baird made a good relieve.A moment later Bob Mac- Dougall secured the puck and a piece of that old.combination work that has made the champions famous, resulted in evening the score, MoLea doing the needful.Then it was nobody's game for some time, both goalkeepers making splendid stops.At last the Montrealers did some pretty passing at the end of which the umpire\u2019s hand went up giving Montreal a goal although it looked as if the puck went too high.Locke made the shot.Both teams got in some good work after the face and each goalkeeper distinguished himself.Grant did some excellent defence work.The game was very fast and most exciting.The Vics showed better form for some time But their attempts to score failed.From a face- off\u2014the referee at last saw an off-side\u2014 McKerrow scored for Montreal.Faulty passing lost a lot for the Vies when play was resumed.They were put on the defensive until Bob MacDougall relieved by a good run which changed the scene of operations.Collins made a beautiful stop, Grant made a couple of lifts that came within an ace of scoring.Then time was up.Second Half.Collins had the first shot to stop in the second half, and both teams did brilliant work.There was a hot siege on both goals.The game slowed up somewhat while both defences exchanged comph- ments.When the Montreals got it their team work was superior, and they very nearly scored several times, Grant and Hartland Macdougall did some great defence work.Baird was a very hard nut for the Vics\u2019 forwards to crack, and he was seldom passed.Neither side had any perceptible advantage for some time.From a face near the Victoria goal.Davidson secured the puck, took it all the way down the ice, passed to Drinkwater, who shot and scored beautifully.It was a magnificent piece of play, and set the Vie sympathizers well nigh crazy.Hartland Macdougall\u2019s skate broke at the commencement of the next game, after both goals had been made the target for a few swift shots.Just as the whistle blew Lewis had made a beautiful stop.When play was resumed it reached a whiriwind velocity, McLea brought the puck all the way down the ice, and passed to Drinkwater, who scored in grand style.The Vics started the next game with a dash, and the excitement ran high.The Vics had the best of it.Collins made several great stops, and the defence relieved by a lift.But Mike Grant was there to return the puck, and he did it.Nearer and nearer, the hand of the watch approached the time for finishing.The score was a tie, and the epectators were frantic with excitement.The Vics stormed the Montreal citadel, and it was a grand struggle.Shot after shot was stopped, but the Montrealers could not get the puck away.But a few seconds remained to play.Tt would be a draw\u2014but, no, Bob Macdou- gall had the puck.In like a shot from a cannon it went, but only to strike Collin\u2019 pads and bound out.Again the same player secured it.In that short .one .> 5 , 0.Heth, \"hie tad he me am pening .ad ended in a great victory for the Vietorias.\u2018hen the -timer\u2019s signal sounded, and the ice was black with a howling mass of Vie- torians, \u2019

it ie to hie credit that the Victoria\u2019: .score was not a larger one.James and rungements arrived at with the Victorias to play au exhibition nwätch here on the 22nd instant, says the Ottawa Citizen.The Capitals, it may be said, expect to win the Ottawa sintermedinte series, and the winners of the series are scheduled to play the Montrealers here on the above named date.The Capitals claim with gome show of.reason that TT the Ottaiwas and Victorias play here the same evening in- lerest in their match will be destroyed.However, they are of the opinion that the Ottawas will consent to change the date.Certainly it would be % commendable and sportsmanlike act on the part of the senior team to comply with the request of their sister club.WINNIPEG VICS WON'T COME EAST.Will Not Play for

the last four years, and oniy once was the visit returned.Such enterprise on the part of a city about one- eighth the size of Montreal should be recognized, and, besides, the generous support of the

Away With Uncertainty.abaya Baltimore, Md., Jan.12.\u2014Chaïrman Mott, of the L.A.W.Racing Board, has received a detter from Henry Sturmey.Coventry, England, secretary of thie International Cyclist Union, stating that there are mo official world\u2019s racing boards.Mr.Mott began am investigation into the matter at the time Edw MeDuffie, 42 Boston, tried for records on the Willow Grove track, at Philadelphia .MeDuffie\u2019s remuneration depended on whether he succeeded in breaking or equalling world\u2019s records.He did some remarkable viding, tieing Stocks, of England, at 1.35 2-5 for the mile.Several of the records were clipped.Then McDuffie claimed pay for world\u2019s records.Mr, Mott allowed the records and registered ,them as official far this country, or within the jurisdiction of the League of American Wheelmen, \u2018When asked whether \u2018he would centify officially that they were world\u2019s reconds, he said he could not do so.He believed them to be world\u2019s records, but had no documents in his office to sustain his belief.Mr.Mott says he saw that it was a hardship, both for the promoters who went to the expense of providing pacers, and for the man who made the records, to have the matter still left uncertain, and wrote to Secretary Sturmey, to inquire whether there was not come way of settling the matter.Mr.Sturmey swggests that each organization send him its official records on Jamuary 1 of each year.He will then compile them and send copies to racing boards, chairmen or similar officers throughout the world, so that each may decide for himself what are world\u2019e records, WANDERERS TO MEET, An important meeting of the Wanderers\u2019 Bicycle Club will be held to-morrow evening at 54 Beaver Hall Hill.Every member is expected to be present.ATHLETICS.THEY WILL BEHAVE, The Ottawa Lacrosse Club Has Had Hnough of Professionalism, In discussing the expected action of the A.A.A.of C.in the Capital lacrosse trouble, the Ottawa Citizen says :\u2014 It is likely that during the present week the public will be made acquainted with the decision of the Amateur Athletic Association of Canada in regard to the Capital Lacrosse Club.It will be remembered that under examination in the celebrated lacrosse case Secretary Dunne admitted that the players of 1896 had received bonuses.The A.A.A.of C.had a copy of the evidence given at the trial, and sent it to a sub-committee appointed to The sub-committee has arrived at a decision, and this decision, with a copy of the evidence, has been mailed to the members of the association, who will vote on the matter.Ît is the general opinion that the sub-com- mittee has mot been too severe on the club, and that their decision is that the players of 1896 only be suspended from the amateur ranks, But whatever the finding of the committee, certain it is that in the future not even semi-professionalism will be countenanced by the Capital executive.No bonuses were given last year, and the executive say that no bonuses will be given in the future.) Anent the above the Toronto Star has the following : No more important matter than this has ever engaged the attention of the A.A A.of C.On the decision ot the executive depends the entire fabric of amateur sport in Canada.The principle involved is fundamental, and if the A.A.A.of C.declines to temper justice with mercy in the intempretation ofits own definitions, the verdict will affect the status of a great number of athletes, not only.in the east, but in and around Toronto.It thas been remarked with force that all the lacrosse players in the big league have \u2018been put upon their defence.This is perfectly true.But the trouble does not stop there.The Capital lacrosse team numbers among its members several of the leading footballers and hockeyists in tie east.These men have participated freely in football and hockey events for several | avound the ring, time, with Tully gaining, he years past.It is notorious that in PRE conversation they have made no bon sa their professionalism, but have | y mitted that they have been pal not their services; and it is inconceivable th at ey colleagues in the clubs with which © o have played hockey should have en er norant of their status.Unless ou \u20ac norance could be shown the AA.Lo would be justified under its rules ig on listing such members of these foo hockey clubs as \u2018have AI Capital lacrosse players.ame to pursue the argument further, it Wi | be seen that the ramifications of the on y tion of the rule might be limited only DY the confines of Canadian aport.LACROSSE.THEY WILL BE STRONG.The Toronto Lacrosse Club Will Have a First-Class Team Next Season.reprit Toronto, Ont., Jan.12.\u2014(Special.)\u2014 Those on the inside of Toronto lacrosse circles are predicting great things for the boys in blue next season, and even if the Capitals were unmolested by the AAA.of C., there would be nothing to touen them in the big league, they say.It appears that the committee of the Toronto Lacrosse Club has been working quietly since the lute disastrous season closed, with the result that the very men wanted at Rosedale are willing to carry the colors to viotory in \u201998.Paddy Murphy will be taken into the T.R.Co.along with Grif- fiths, Grimes and Gamble, which would warrant the rounding up of the strongest team that ever represented the club since the days sf Ross Mackenzie.A gentleman who is in touch with all the doings of the committee and players, gave out the subjoined list of men who have already agreed to go on the lacrosse field for Toronto the approaching summer, and the team would be placed as follows: Goal, Allan; point, Griffiths; cover, Wheeler; first defence, Yorke; sedond defence, Grimes; third defence, Gale; centre, xamble; third home, Moran; second home, P.Murphy; first home, Burns; outside, McVey; inside, German.\u2018 BASEBALL.GOSSIP FROM THE DIAMOND.Frank Connaughion, the well-known shortstop, who was formerly with the Boston Club and afterward went to New York, and has been playing in Kansas City for two seasons, thinks he will retire from the diamond for good and devote himself to business.Perhaps the arrival of a bright little daughter also has its influence on Frank to decide not to wander from his own fireside.In case he sticks to his determinat:o1, Manager Manning may try in bis p.ace Charles Perry, a shortstop who played in Atchison, Kas., in 1897.Frank Bancroft makes a goodmpoint in the changing of the present distance in pitching.He says: \u201cIn the days when the pitching distances was but forty-five feet no interest was manifested in a game in which a leading pitcher was two or three runs ahead of hs opponents, It was generally understood that the star pitcher who had the opposing team so far in the rear would win his game, and so the crowd would sometimes leave before seven inpings had been played.To-day it is duserent.Rallies in closing innings are numerous.A team may be six or eight runs behind and still have hopes\u2014 and frequently will realize them\u2014to win out.This uncertainty makes the game of to-day more interesting than those of a decade ago.As far as helping batting ig concerned I do not think, it should be curtailed by a reduction of the pitching distance.A good batter will be a good batter at a fifty-five foot pitching distance.The present pitching distance shou'd not be interfered with.The games now are what the public want, and there is no necessity for a change.\u201d POWERS IS DICKERING WITH BOTH WILKESBARRE AND NEWARK.Wilkesbarre, Pa., Jan.12.\u2014President Powers, of the Fastern League, was not successful yesterday in his mission to buy the Wilkesbarra Club, and he left for Rochester.Yt is said he is just as wel pleased, as he has always been friendly to Wilkegbarre.Mr.Powers declined to say whether he wanted the Wilkesbarre franchise for Rochester or Newark.Several of the directors of the home club, when seen, eaid they would not think ot accepting the terms offered by Powers.The baseball situation here, therefore; may be summed up as follows :\u2014Unless Wilkes.barre is paid a fancy price she will not surrender \u2018her franchise in the Eastern League, but will go to work at once and place a strong team in the league for the coming season.CORBETT WANTS IT, TOO.St.Louis, Mo., Jan.12.\u2014James J.Cor- bett is the latest customer of Chris Von Der Ahe for \u2018his baseball franchise and team.Corbett said that he would like to buy the PBrowns, and was willing to put up a good piece of money for the club.\u201cIn fact,\u201d said the ex-champion, \u201c1 have a man working on it now.1 would like to buy, and properly managed it would be a good thing, and would pay me micely after I had the team strengthened.Of course I will have to lose some money for a year or two, but in the end I would get it all back.\u201d THE RING.\u201cTHROW UP THE SPONGE.\u201d There have been many amusing incidents in the twenty-four-foot ring, but Peter Felix, the Australian heavyweight, relates one that takes the cake.While travelling through New South Wales with a company of wrestlers and sparrers, they reached a town possesssing a champion slightly more aggressive than the usual run.All he lacked to lead the world was opportunity, He weighed 175 pounds, and Artie Tully, a 128-pound boxer, was selected to meet the champion.In the first round there was sparring with honors easy.In the second round Tully made a rush, banged the champion on the Jaw, and floored him When he arose he began a wild race with Tully in hot pursuit As the champion rushed past his own cor- ter he shouted to his seconds: *\u201cFhrow up the sponge!\u201d \u201cThere ain\u2019t no sponge!\u201d seconds,\u201d as he dashed past o lap.As he made the circuit shrielked the n the second for the third Really: howled fran- \u201cWell, throw up the bucket! a chair!\u201d Throw up \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 - OXFORD CAFE, No - University Street.Meals a la carte until midnight FREE BOOK = MEN ONLY LOSSES, CELE, etc.about the inventor, an which deals with those weaknesses resulting from RORS OF YOUTH, 1s DRA WEAK BACK, IMPOTENCY, v4 : It explains to you fully just what BL TRICITY cures and CURES PERMANENTLY : the world-famed DR.SANDEN E oung or ol , BELT for WEAK MEN, young olj, TER it I cured 5,000 last year.0 such as DRAINS, Non Ely ly CONSULTATION FRE;

be removed, it is said stocks of wheat, and especially flour in Paris, have been allowed to become practically exhausted.While the figures given are not official, and thought to be extreme by exporters, they admit that stocks compared with a year ago (when they were 2 1-2 million, against 160,000 reported now), are undoubtedly very emall.It was rumored yesterday afternoon that there was a sale of 100,000 bushels of Manitoba wheat in New York, but it could not be confirmed.The price received was aid to be a good one, No.1 hard Manitoba there being quoted at 103c over the option.The rival coffee roasters, the Woolson Spice Company and Arbuckle Bros., have once more reduced prices, a cut of one- half eent per pound being announced by each concern yesterday.This brings the net price down to 8} cents per pound, which is not much more than half the price when the fight began.In the meantime, however, prices of green coffee have been steadily declining until they are now at about the lowest level in the history of the trade.: The local money market still remains easy and there is an abundance of funds on call at 4 per cent.GRAIN UP WEST, Wheat Quiet\u2014Peas, Oats and Barley All Firm, Toronto, Ont., Jan.12.\u2014Market quiet.Flour\u2014Quiet and prices are unchanged; straight rollers, $3.80 to $3.90 middle freights.Wheat\u2014Quiet; prices weak early, but the feeling\u201d better at close of the day; red winter sold outside at 8lc to 82; spring sold on Midland at 82¢ for No.2, and goose 773c Midland; Manitoba wheat steady, with No.1 hard quoted at $1.02 grinding in traneit, Toronto freight, 9Uc to 91e Fort William, and 98c Owen Sound and Midland.Barley\u2014Firmer, with No.2 quoted west at 32c to 34c; No.3 extra sold at 28c, and feed at 26c to 27c.Oats\u2014Firm, with sales of white at 25c west and at 24c for mixed.Peas\u2014Firm, with dealers quoting all the way from 50c to 58c north and west.Buckwheat\u2014Dull, with cars quoted at 80c to 3lc outside.Rye\u2014Dull, with quotations unchanged at {4c west and at 45¢ east.Corn\u2014Quiet and prices unchanged; sales at 27c west for new and 28c for old.Bran\u2014Fair, with sales at 87.50 to $7.75 west; shorts rule at $10 to $12 middle freights.Oatmeal\u2014Unchanged, with car lots in bags quoted at $3.20.MONTREAL BUYING.There Wus a Little in Toronto Cattle Market Yesterday.The Toronto cattle market yesterday is reported by wire as follows: The receipts were fair and trade was active at the Toronto cattle market ta-day.Hogs and miloh cows sold higher, and although the feching was firmer in other lines, prices did not advance.Several buyers from Buffalo and Montreal were present.Reports of an improved market in Montreal had & good effect on the trading here.Re- ccipts were forty-six cars, including 202 sheep and lambs, 1,800 hogs, about half a daozen milch cows and springers and a dozen calves.Total receipts for last week: Cattle, 1,646; sheep and lambs, 1,139; hogs, 4,813; weigh Tees, $97.61.Export cattle\u2014There was more demand; good steers ruled at 33c to 4}c and bulls at 2c to 33c.Odd choice cattle gold at 4e, Purest and Best for Table and Dairy No adulteration.Never cakes.THE HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1898.BULLS AND BEARS \u201cBROKE EVEN Wheat Held.Steady About - all Morning, \u2019 SUGAR TAKES A TUMBLE.\u2014\u2014\u2014Y Gossip of the Street and the Board of Trade.|, \u2014\u2014\u2014 this morning, and prices on the Wndie were somewhat irregular.The May option closed last night at 91, and this morning it opened at 90% to 903.It remained around that basis for some time, but, after going up to 913, and ol again to 903, it touched 913.That was the highest figure reached up to 12.30.At that time wheat was quoted around the opening basis.Wheat puts for next week were quoted at 88 bid, and calls 95.~The second cable was dull and § lower.The receipts of grain in Chicago to-day were :\u2014Wheat, 18 cars; contract, 4; corn, 366 cars; contract, 99; oats, 165 care; contract, 32.The estimated receipts of hozs in Chicago to-morrow are 36,000.MONTREAL THE SECOND APPLE SHIPPING PORT.How This Year's Exports Compare With Those of 1896-7, \u2014\u2014 New York Leads, Montreal Comes.Second, and Boston Third.)

business doing in cheese here and there, and the movement gives promise of becoming larger.Prices fail to show any change.The idea for finest Ontarios is about 8%c, while col- cored goods could be obtained at 8c.Que- becs are 83c.The cable is the same.Butter fails to show a great deal of change, mad om.the whole the trade is largely of a jobbing character.The range for creamery is 19¢ to 19ic.The \u2018tone of the egg market is firm at the recent advance.Fresh stock is steady at 23c to 25¢ and limed is quoted at 15c to lôc.: There was considerable enquiry for fresh killed poultry,of- which the offerings were limited and prices for such \u2018were firm.The supply of frozen sbock was ample and the call for tthe same was only moderate, We quote turkeys, 8ic to Ofc; chickens, be to 8c; ducks, 8c to 8c, and geese, 5c to 6c per Ib.The demand for dressed hogs to-day was slow, owing to the fact that buyers generally filled their wants pretty well yesterday, consequently the market was quiet with no change to note.In a jobbing way light weights sold at $6.50 to $8.75, amd heavy at $6.25 per 100 lbs, THE CROPS.Prime, the Anthority, Situation.Prime, in the Daily Stockholder, says: \u201cSo far as weathér is concerned we have had very little to complain of since the opening of the new year.We have had no rain or snow to contend with, but clear skies and bracing temperature.Condition of corn in crib, not been better for many seasons than to-day.This arises from the fact that the dry fall gave every opportunity to mature, and put it in excellent shape to keep.As to winter wheat it made a pretty good headway during December.Reviews the Mr.W.H.Gillard, president of the Canadian Wholesale Grocers\u2019 Association, and Mr.T.H.Macpherson, M.P., both of Hamilton, have been visiting the whole | sale grocers of Montreal the last two days, Wheat was mot very lively in Chicago | FLOUR FOR - THE KLONDIKE, Millers Expect to Do a Big Business.50-POUND SACKS SELLING.There is Also an Active Demand for Other Lines.a pri Oups The leading millers are preparing for a big Klondike flour trade, and some of the smaller millers as well.According to what has been said on Change, orders are already beginning to come in from the coast and there is every probability of a large trade in the near future.Both Ontario and Manitoba flour is being called for, and the millers of both brands are sparing no efforts to supply the demand.It is more than likely that the fifty pound sack of flour will prove the most popular for this business, at least most of the demand so far has been for sacks of that weight.The sacks are especially prepared, being of heavy material, and of course waterproof.Speaking of the prospects for the trade, a leading miller said:\u2014\u2018\u2018Yes, we are on the sharp outlook for Klondike business, and expect big things to come of it.It is still a little early of course, to say just how it is going to pan out.but I don\u2019t think that we will be disappointed in our expectations.You will find that the largest houses have more men on ithe Coast hustling for business, and you may depend: on it that they are doing all they can.The outlook for general trade, too, is very bright.Some say that 250,000 men are going out.This may be exaggerated, but supposing only 100,000 go.It is estimated that they will spend all the way from $500 to $1,000 each for outfits.Just think what that means for businoss.\u201d In Other Lines.Everybody brings in more orders from the coast to the people here, who are making a apecialty of Klondike supplies.A grocer stated this morning that he knew for & fact thet more orders had been received, for foods, while the woollen: men say that orders are actually crowding in ron them.The clothing men also report an increased demand, while the boot and shoe men say they are still pretty busy on the enquiries sent in some time ago.PRESENT POSTION OF WHEAT IF MANTORA Many Buyers Withdrawn from the Country Markets, The Dealers Are Not Coming Out Very * Well Financially.: - eu PA res \u2018 ; Speaking ¢f the Wheat situation up west the Commercial says: \u201cLocally the wheat market is very quiet.A good many buyers have been withdrawn, only one bueyr for the combination being left at a number of markets, besides of course independent buyers and millers.The millers have been taking most of the Wheat which has changed hands in car or round lots; and they have also been buying direct from farmers, as usual.Prices paid to farmera averaged about 76c at Manitoba points, and 78c has been the ruling price for car lots, at country points, based on a 19 cent freight rate to Fort William.Dealers were offering quite freely at this figure on Thursday, but yesterday the feeling was firmer.The dealers who are buying from farmers and turning over their gmin to nillers, have just about been making profits of operating their elevators.The price paid for car lots in the country is equal to £0c to 91c afloat Fort William, which is mbove export basis.No.2 hard 8c legs than No.1.No.1 northern nomi- ual at about 1c under No.1 hard.\u201d MONTREAL GRAINA Moderate Business Doing\u2014Feed and Hay More Active.There is @ very fair business doing in the local grain market at present, with the tone about the same.Oats, however, are said to rule a little on the easy side, \u2018while on the other hand peas are firmer, in sympathy with higher prices in the west.Values are: Ontario red winter wiheat, Pdo; white, 93c; peas, 52¢c to 53c; oats, 28c; Tye, 514 to 52c; buckwheat, 35)c to 36c; and feed barley, 33c to 35c; malting barley, 45¢ to 50c in store.There is a alight export demand for Manitoba tiour at present snl a Litthe business has been done at steady prices.The local demand is fair.Values are as follows: Winter wheat patents $4.65 to $4.85; straight rollers, $4.30 to $4.40; bags, $2.10 to $2.15; best Manitoba atrong bakers\u2019, $4.00; second do., $4.50; and low grades, $2.70; Hungarian patents, $5.30, The meal market continues quiet, the demand being only for small lots to fill actual wants at steady prices.We quote:\u2014 Rolled oats, $3.45 per barrel, and $1.67} per bag; standard meal, $3.25 per barrel, and $1.574 per bag.i, The tone of the feed market has been gradually on the mend lately, and business in an export way direct with the mills has been excellent.Dealers are getting somewhat better prices.Ontario bran, $10.75 to $11; and shorts, $11.50 to $12 per ton, bulk; Manitoba bran, bags included, at $11.50, and shorts at $12.50 per ton.The receipts of hay are increasing, but the demand is good for choice stock, com- sequently supplies of such are not accumulating to any extent, and prices ane fairly well

Will Begin Work Soon, MAKING READY FOR SESSION Mr.Tarte's Arrangements for Lighting the Buildings.Ottawa, Ont., Jan.12.\u2014(Special.)\u2014John Appleton, president of the Trades and Labor Council of Winnipeg, has been appointed & member of the commission that is going to enquire into the alleged grievances of the workmen on the Crow\u2019s Nest Pass Railway.This has, no doubt, been done at the instigation of the labor men of Winnipeg, wio have taken an interest in this matter, and were largely instrumental in getting the commission appointed in the first place.The othe! two coinmis- sioners, Judge Dugas, Montreal, and Frank Pedley, of the Interior Department, wiit leave here to-morrow for Winnipeg, where they will femain over for a day, after wards proceeding to the Crow\u2019s Nest Pass Railway.The work of the commission will probably last for five or six weeks, a8 a large number of witnesses will have to be examined.Some Old Claims.rremier Murray, Attorney-trenerai Longley and Mr.Ross, of Nova Scotia, had \u2018an interview with the Cabinet yesterday afternoon in regard to some old claims which the Eastern Extension Railway ot Nova Scotia had against the Dominion.The claims are reported to amount to some $600,000 or $700,000, and are about fifteen years old.The Apnpoaching Session.Thére will be a meeting of the Cabinet almost every day now until Parliament weets.The Premier has notified all the Ministers to be on hand, and not to leave the city without notifying him.not likely to be any very large questions outside of the plebiscite bill, which wilt be brought up for discussion during the session.Of course, there will be a good deal of legislation in connection with the Yukon, ° Lighting Parliament Buildings, Hons J.Ï.Tarte was seen to-day in regard to the arrangements 'he has made for lighting the Parliament Buildings and also for fire protection.A sum of $75,000 was granted for this purpose last \u2018session.\u201cWhen the item was being put through Parliament,\u201d said Mr.Tarte, \u201cMr.Foster suggested to me in the House that I might avail myself of the power of Ahearn & Soper, instead of the Government going into the business with a plant of its own.This is what I have done.I have made à contract with Messrs.Ahearn & Soper for the power and also for four motors and fire pumps.The amount of this will be about $60,000.The reason for not asking for tenders was that I was depending upon the Ottawa Street Car Company and the Ottawa Electric Light Company for power.On that account I could do better with Ahearn & Soper than any one else.I sent Mr.Ewart, the chief architect of the department, to New York to see what prices Messrs, Ahearn & Soper were charging, and I found I could not get them any cheaper.The result of the arrangements is that 1 wull save aboui $12,000 or $13,000 a year in lighting the buildings.The\u201cgas will be discarded, as well as our old obsolete electric Ight plant, and the buildings wil be supplied with electric Tights as I have mentioned.There will be two sources of power, the Ottawa Street Car Company and the Ottawa Blectrie Light Company, so that when one power fails, the other can be utilized.\u201d Pfemier Coming to Montreal.8ir Wilfrid Laurier and Hon.Mr.Tarte left for Montreal this afternoon.RAILWAY NEWS.Washington, D.C., Jan.12.\u2014The Inter- tate Commmerce Commission has

Its purpose is the bringing to the affention of all students the claims of foreign missions, with a view of increasing the missionary force, and also fostering an aggressive missionary spirit among the educated leaders at home, Its loyalty to the regularly organized missionary agencies of the churches cannot be questioned.Its leaders are trained carefully for their important work of direction and supervision.Its method of missionary education is necessary and fundamental.Its recognition of responsibility along financial lines is necessary if the movement is to realize its purpose.Its care to seture only those for the missionary service who are well equipped, and, above all, of \u201cspiritual power, is a cause for gratitude.- The claims of foreign missions have been presented in over eight hundred institutions of higher learning of all kinds on this continent.This rguerment has brought to our notice four thousand volunteers, and the prayer for mak has given place to prayer for

discussing the enterprise on Change to-day were quite enthusiastic over the scheme and expect that it will go a long way towards expanding the business.\u201cAnything that will concentrate more grain within easy reach of Montreal,\u201d observed one gentleman \u201cshould be well supported, as it gives us greater opportunities for doing business.\u2019 \u201cFrom one standpoint,\u201d remarked Mr.Edgar Judge who was present, \u201cit is a \u2018good thing, as it will cost less to bring the grain form Coteau by barge than it would if the grain were brought to Montreal and had to pay terminal charges.In the winter time it will be an admirable ds- tributing point for grain both for export and local use.\u201d The elevator is being constructed by Mr.J.R.Booth, of Ottawa, for the Canada Atlantic Railway, and will be ready by the time navigation opens.THE SECRET OF SEX Professor Schenk Explains His New Discovery.Can Cause Boys to be Born Into the World.Vienna, Jan.17.\u2014Professor SchenX, of the Vienna Unversity, whose reported discovery of the secret of sex startled civilization last week, made, yesterday, the first authorative statement of the results of his experiments.Dr.Schenk for more than thirty years has been studying the development of the human and lower animal embryos, and is\u2018 the recognized leading authority in that branch of science.He is a thoroughly serious scientist and does not exploit his discovery for money.He refuses to treat patients for fees, however tempting: When asked: \u201cCan you give :pbsitive information of your discovery \u2018with regard to the treatment of women anxious to have sons?\u201d Professor Schenk answered: \u2014\u201cI gave the treatment under seal to the Vienha Imperial Academy of Science, where it will be tested and published.But, I can tell you the results of my discovery and leg you have the \u2018scientific facts \u2018upon which my discovery is based.What lies between is my secret.If I say 1 can determine the sex of a child to be born, you must understand that I can bring it about that the woman shall become the mother of a son and not a daughter.\u201cMy treatment has no other aim thon causing boys to be born.I made the discovery many years ago and subjected ib to proofs.It is my own choice that I am the father of six sons, four of whom are alive and strong.I have achieved similar results in the familles of relatives, friends and some persons in whose ability 7 to keep a secret I have full confidence\u2014 fourteen cases in all.\u201cBut I cannot treat every stranger who may appeal to me.I must be able to watch the patient, must be certain that my directions are scrupulously obeyed.I consider every new case an experiment, a test of my discovery.1 must have certainty.\u201cI can bring it about with human beings or with animals having one young at a time that this offspring shall be male and with animals bearing many together, that the majority shall be male.\u201cMy discovery is based upon the scientific fact that the blood of a grown-up man contains five million blood corpuscles, the bearers of life- -giving, nourishing oxygen, while the blood in a grown-up woman contains only four million.This difference is the basis of differences in sex and of the different moral and physical working powers in man and woman.This proportion is observable in the slightest quantity of blood from a man or a woman.\u201cAll my efforts are directed toward producing the embryo the right number of blood corpuscles required by the male.I have succeeded in attaining this effect by | suitable nourishment of the woman and bv influencing the metabolic process in the change of matter.\u201d WAS TOHAVE BEEN MARRIED TODAY, But Instead He Got a Nine Months
