MAY RUE IT, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The Day to Expect to See a Surplus is Probably Past.een London, January 20,\u2014Sir Michael Hicks- Beach, Chancellor of the Exchequer, speaking at Bristol, last evening, ridiculed the notion of providing granaries ae has been euggested in eome quarters.He eaid he was convinced the British navy was strong enough to hold its own, and in any war England would have anany friends ready to supply corn.\u2018 Referring to the coming \u2018budget estimates, he said these would show that the Government was fully alive to keeping up the standard of the army and navy; though, he declared, it was not creditable to Canada or fair to English taxpayers that such a colony should practically contribute nothing to the naval defences of the Empire.He hoped Canada would soon turn her attention to this matter, adding that he was convinced that if she did not tthe day would come when she would have \u201cA rude awakening, which would be entirely her own fault.\u201d In concluding his speech, the Chancellor of \u2018the Exchequer announced that China had approached England for assistance to pay the Japanese indemnity and that the negotiations were still pending.The newspaper statement om the subject, he characterized as inaccurate and incomplete.The Government was not ashamed of these megotiations and believed the country would approve them.He could see mo reason why foreign powers should object, but if the negotiations failed.Great Britain would take her stand on the existing treaty rights.Replying to a deputation of sugar refinery workmen that waited upon him yesterday, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach said the Government had readily accepted Belgium\u2019s invitation to a sugar conference, and would do its best to secure a sans- factory \u2018result.He added that he believed the feeling of the country was so strong in favor of cheap sugar that any proposal to prevent the importation of bounty paid sugar would meet with the greatest opposition, : In the course of an interesting reference to revenue, the Chancellor of the Exchequer said the though the period of supluses was coming to an end.There would be a surplus for the present year, but there were so many claims to be satis fied that it was unlikely that taxation would be reduced.He said an effort would be made to supply the deficiency or sailors in the navy, and confirmed Mr, Chamberlaïn\u2019e previous anmouncement as to a West India grant.With respect to the financial position and prospects of India, Sir Michael Hicks Beach said that both had improved lately, so much so that he believed it would be unnecessary for England to contribute financial aseistance in connection with the frontier war.INCORPORATION A CURE, Pilot Belisle Thinks Abuses Would Cease if They Had It.More complaints were heard at the sitting of the pilotage commission yesterday afternoon.Mr.Louis Belisle, secretary of tbe Pilot Committee, nnd æ pilot of 26 years\u2019 standing, approved of what had been said by the preceding witnesses.His only personal complaint was that in.1882 he had been suspended for two monthe on account of the Lake Champlain grounding because of a badly placed buoy, although the president told him there was mothing in it.He did not think it possible to have a good organization without incorporation, and was of opinion that all pilots should be put on the tour-de-role.He also thought that the pilots should be represented on the Harbor Commission \u2018when pilotagy: matters are under discussion.There were by-laws made by the Pilot Committee, bus he was not sure that there were ever fines for infractions of these by-laws.Examined by counsel Mr.Belisle said that for the present trade the channel cught to be thirty feet deep and five hundred feet wid~.or even seven hundred at bends.At fimes vessels raced in the river, but this was the fault of the officers and the pilots protested.To Mr.J.X.Per raul Mr.Belisle eid the opinion of captains was that the pilots here were firsi- class men, but insufficiently paid.Mr.E.P.Boucher, engineer of buoys, presented a statement dhowing that out of twenty-one accidents last season only one was due to m: misplaced buoy, proving that the contractors did their work well.If he were a pilot he would say the more buoys there were the better.CONCERT AT

a half ago.Among those who have delved into this mine of romance with success ds Ww.A.Tremayne, in his play \u201cA Secret Warrant.Robert B.Mantell produced the drama, and plays the dashing character of a captain of King's Guards with ell the aplomb and vigor that distinguish his stage work.period of the play is 1720 when the Duc d\u2019Orleans as Regent, ruled France.Mr.Mantell comes to.the Academy next week.i Few plays have been received with such universal commendation as C.E.Calla han\u2019s Tennessee comedy, \u201cA Romance of Coon Hollow,\u201d now completing æ fourth successful season.On its origimal _production in Chicago the crites of that city were a unit in predicting ite success.The New York press was equally unanimous in commenting on the piece during its run at the Fourteenth Street Theatre, and from Boston to New Orleans there has not been a dissenting opinion on the merits of the phy.\u201cThe soft Southern drawl,\u201d which permeates the language of the characters had a particular dharm.\u201cA Romance of Coon Hollow\u201d is announced for the Queen\u2019s Theatre for next week.Flynn and Sheridan\u2019s \u201cNew City Sports\u201d big show will make its appearance here next week, with twenty-five artists.The following are a few of the many engaged who will appear: First and foremost the Robinson-Baker trio, tthe world\u2019s famous jumpers and leapers; Crissic Ti- dan, queen of burlesque; Smilax Si .Hi Tom Wiard, eccentric entertainer; Rosa Burke, female boxer and bag puncher; Nima Oovelle.Plancon on Thursday.The turn out for the Plancon concert on Thursday will be a great one.It looks as if every seat in the Windsor Hail will be hought up.The urtistes are great, and no expense has been spared to make this concert of Mr.Harriss\u2019s surpass his best ef- forte on previous occasions.It \u2018e rumored that there is just a bare possibility cf a very distinguished contralto being heard in addition to the list of talent advertised.Madame ID\u2019Alvigny, a noted Parisian contralto, has recently arrived in New York, and Mr.Harriss is endeavoring tu bring tbout her appearance at the Plancon concert on Thursday evening.Charming little Lotta made mo secret of the fact that of all her successes \u201cPawn- ticket 210\u201d was the greatest both from a financial and an artistic standpoint.It is difficult to say how a more pleasing change in the programme of the Francais could have been selected than this excei- lent play.The parts will undoubtedly suit the stock company in a manner that will be highly satisfactory alike to Manager Phillips and his patrons.An effort is just being made to get Miss Gertrude Haynes the celebrated organist for -i1.xt week's programme.Mr.Phillips has made her a very flattering offer and it is expected that she will accept.There will also be another great \u201cheadliner\u201d in the team now known as Magee and Crimmins.Both are artists of note and as partners in vaudeville should give an entertainment better than which it would be hard to find.POSSIBILITIES OF B.C.Vancouver, B.C., Jan.20 \u2014The sessions of the British Columbia branch of the Federated Canadian Mining Institute, which have been very largely attended, closed last night.Many important (papers were read, notably one by Mr.Hedley, metallurgist, of the Hall Mines Smelter, on the smelting possibilities of British Columbia.In this paper Mr.Hedley re marked that no one knew what the Roas- land mines were capable of producing.Wild statements had been made on this head, but he believed that a 500-ton p'ant could \u2018be erected, and run so economically that it could make a smelting rate of $7 per ton f.o.b.Rossland would soon have to increase its capacity.If these ores will smelt a concentration of 10 to 1, using twelve and a half per cent.coke, and ten per cent.barren flux, that figure will leave a profit to the smelter.He considered, however, the possibilities for eue- cessful smelting were far greater in the Boundary Creek district, where the variety of ores was greater, and a perfectly self-fluxing ore is obtainable.Messrs.Bell and Blakemore, representing the eagtern societies to the federation, were present, and also delivered addresses.tte DISMISSED THE MOTION.The Court of Appeal has dismissed the motion in the case of MacDonald vs.Gali- van, made by the respondent, who had moved for provisional execution of the judgment granting respondent a monthly allowance, notwithstanding the appeal which bad been taken to the Supreme Court.The Court held that it had no jurisdiction and the motion was dismissed, \u2014_\u2014 DEATH OF WM.BiuK.Detroit, Midh., Jan.19.\u2014Wm.Beck, a son of Jacob Beck, a well-known miller of this city, died very euddenly

Big Salmon River, Dec.9th, 1897.\u2014In my letters thus far I have paid some attention to our experience and what we have accomplished en route.There is one phase of this expedition, however, which appears to me to far transcend in importance these experiences, interesting though they may be.What I now have particular reference to is the data and information we have obtained regarding the condition of affairs in this country during the winter season both as to the condition of the population and as to the condition of the rivers, lakes and country generally for travel and transportation.Hitherto, it can be said mothing has been known, save to a few explorers, of the condition of affairs in this country in winter.When I say this I mean nothing of practical benefit to the publie.We may \u2018have known before that the thermometer dropped to 60, 70 and 80 below zero, and that in the winter time there was some probability of encountering ice, but we were uninformed as to the facilities for providing the country with its food supply, and what the possibilities were for transportation in wintër, either as a matter of convenience and comfort, or in case of emergency and necessity.If at the present moment this expedition were to turn about and proceed back to Ottawa at once, I have no hesitation in saying the mass of information which it has already obtained concerning this country would enable the Government to formulate a policy in regard to it which would many times recompense- the people of the Dominion for the expenses of the expedition.Sixty-two men have already passed this point since our arrival here, en route from Dawson to the coast, and they report a thousand more on the trail or about to be, and it is worthy of note that every single man of these sixty-two, be he well supplied to convey him out, or be he almost destitute, be he the possessor of a good: claim, or otherwise, every single man reparts the country rich beyond imagination; and were the people only secured against starvation the future of this country would not be in doubt for a moment.Thèse men say that there are miles upon miles of dirt earth that will pay $5, $6 and $10 a day, but that the cost of living is too great to bother about it.They say too that the washings of gold in Dawson the coming spring will be the greatest in the history of the world, and this in spite of most adverse circumstances.The Wealth Fabulous.7° The future of this country, However, does not depend upon $5, or $10 dirt.The \u201cwealth here is undoubtedly fabulous, but a sufficient number of claims can be found to pay from $20 up to keep all the population, the food supply in the country can support for some time to come without bothering about small pay dirt.It is awful to see these poor fellows coming out from Dawson, some of them with dogs, the others pulling sleds themselves or packing.Some of them have stood the trip well, but others have their faces badly scarred from being frozen | and are altogether in a pitiable condition from short rations.It must be a severe shortage of food that will make a man undertake such a journey, but an exceedingly rich country when nearly every man of them says he will return as soon as he can secure supplies.Six months\u2019 or a year\u2019s supply is mo use im this country.It must be 18 months.What, use with food to last, say until June, when no provisions can be landed at Dawson before July at least by the St.Michael route?It is nat now, but the awful month before supplies can be imported that suffering and distress will be rampant.Food is bringing most.gold in Dawson City, and the man who has 100 sacks of flour there new can secure a bonanza gold claim.Fcod is the cry in this country and the only way to get it is by transportation + Repairing of Gomplicated Watches Is a specialty with us\u2014al] (64 work guaranteed.Watches ff.may be safely sent by registered mail.A wooden box will be mailed free if desired.: HENRY BIRKS & SONS [4 PHILLIPS SQUARE.| fs\u2019 aa ols Pte A and until transportation is provided let the people stay out.If they do not, the same awful tramp awaits them as the poor fellows now passing have been forced to take.Perhaps, after all, the hardship and endurance necessary to secure the gold are the same here as elsewhere.There is no royal road to wealth any more than there is to learning, and the man who comes \u2018to this country must always bear this in mind.A reporter of a New York paper essayed to make a flying trip to Dawson and return by St.Michaels.He wrote to his paper telling them he had crossed the Chil- koot in so many hours, reached Dawson in so many days, and told the public all a man needed coming to this country was a gripsack, and that there was plenty of food for everybody.This same reporter is now frozen-in 300 miles below Dawson, and in all probability will share in the starvation into which he had so little compunctiory about rushing others.Just at this moment a courier has arrived from the Little Salmon River, stating that one Kill had been robbed of $8,- 600 on the trail and that two or three men were under arrest and were to appear before the Court at Little Salmon, where Judge McGuire\u2019s party now are.The message also asked us to intercept and search five men to-night camped a few miles below us, which we shall do in the morning.Everyone going out appears to have more or less gold.Yesterday a man passed who said he had $40,000.Must Have Food Supplies.The one thing more than anything else I would like the Canadian and American public to fully appreciate is the absolute certainty of running into abject misery, if not starvation, should they persist in coming into this country on a short food supply.Every day brings confirmation of the direful shrinkage in Dawson, and the certainty of great distress in the spring and early summer months.I repeat, the country is fabulously rich, but until transportation has been increased and made capable nf bringing in sufficient supplies to provide the people of the territory with food, men are taking \u2018their lives in their hands in coming here.We have had scarcely any snowfall since we came ipto this part of the country, though the snow lies om the groumd several feet deep.The snowfall here appears to be very limited, but every might there is a heavy frost of about one-quarter inch, and the snow becomes deeper every morning in consequence.The air is dry and crisp, and we can stand out in the open without cap or coat at 10 or 15 below zero for many minutes without feeling the cold or in danger of being frozen.Even two weeks ago, when it ranged around 50 below zero, we did not feel it cold though we had to wrap up well, or one might get frozen and mot know it.The one great boon to the moor travellers coming out from Dawson is the endless supply of good timber along the rivers.We shall probably leave this camp in about a month for the Little Salmon, whence we shall strike for Dawson.An Exciting Robbery, Big Salmon River, Dec.10.\u2014We have had quite an exciting day here to-day.The robbery I spoke of in my other letter has created a small flurry.On a warrant sworn out by C.©.McGregor before Capt.Starns, at the Little Salmon River, we detained and searched a party of five men en route for the coast.Shortly afterwards a party of four men and ond woman arrived with dogs and sleds also en route for the coast.Oh, that poor woman! I was really ashamed of the camp, Every man Jack of them (your correspondent excepted, of course!) rushed about her as if she were a curiosity.Old \u2014\u2014 froze on to her and led her up to our temt, where I was busy getting some mail in shape.The first thing the good lady did was to trip as she was coming into the tent, upset the stove and le sprawling on the tarpaulin.Of course I rushed to her assistance, while B.surveyed the land: scape.A moment later the good Major ordered that the woman be accorded the hospitalities of his tent, and of course I had the laugh on B.I would like to bring to the attention of the Government \u2018how \u201cperfectly calm, how perfectly collected\u201d I was under very trying circumstances and the chivalrous politeness with which I assisted the good woman, even though we have been so long degenerating with out the refining and elevating influences of her sex! : The robbery affair was quite entertaining.Capt Bliss was detailed to make the search of the five men, Phil Walsh and myself assisting, Our Indians were also on the scene and fully armed in case of any resistance.The men of course.were sensible and opened their packs without hesitation.The money has mot yet been located, though two men are under arrest at the Little Salmon, and their trial is now going on there.It is altogether likely that the money has been cached somewhere, and it will be a very difficult maitter to find it, .Dangerous to Travel.\u2019 It is pretty dangerous travelling in this country, with money though everybody does it.It would be such an easy matter to make away with a man without ever being found out.I venture to say that many a man has come to this country who will never be heard of again.I feel quite certain many men \u2018have \u2018been drowned im the rivers and lakes this last year of which no account is known as yet, and many men will likely be lost on the trail this winter.You see, friends in the East will not be surprised at not hearing from their friends here perhaps for a year, and it will be a long time before it can be known just what catastrophes may have taken place.Many and varied will be the reports you will read of circumstances vere from the men en route out, and they will all be colored to suit the various schemes the men themselves may have on hand for making money.The most refined, intelligent and apparently reliable man who has yet passed here called at the camp to-day, and he stated that no anxiety need be felt regarding the food \u2018condition in Dawson, at the same time telling us that the police had been put on whort rations.From information from all sources thus far I would say circumstances appear very gloomy for Dawson before the arrival of the spring supplies.A delegation, we learn, is en route to wait upon the Government regarding the new mining regulations and will pass here tomorrow, In this event we should be able to obtain some very reliable information, though in any event the opinions of the hundreds odd men that have already passed here must not be overlooked.One McKay passed here this morning with seven dogs and two sleds.He was taking out a small party to the coast, and was charging $600 a passenger.And to be a passenger one bad to supply 300 pounds of grub and work as hard as the man, McKay himself, and of course foot it as well.Dogs, though, are worth from $150 to $300 each.Very truly yours, DUFFERIN PATTULLO.Situations Vacant\u2014Free insertion in Herald and on Herald Want Bulletin.ALLEGED N.B.MURDER \u2018Which has Come to Light after Lapse of Time.St.John, N.B., Jam.19.\u2014(Special.)\u2014 What looks very much like a story of fraticide comes from Point Du Chene, Westmoreland county, Laat November the body of Owen Hamil, farmer, was found in a box car near the station.A wound on the right temple seemed to be the only cause of death, and it was surmised that he fell, striking his head on an iron bar.This seemed so apparent at the time that the coroner's jury remdered a verdict of accidental death.But later some talk was made about the affair, and stories began to circulate that there was foul play.At the inquest a sister of the deceased said she saw him the might before his body was found.Persons who have been enquiring eay this is not so, and that Hamil was not home the night before.It is said that the deceased was on bad terms with his brother, and the latter had been heard to make threats that he would kill Owen.Hearing this talk the Crown officers sent a constable frem here to investigate.The constable who has just returned says he strongly believes Owen Hamil was murdered.He says the cireum- stances do not bear out the theory of accidental death, amd the behavior of the family of the deceased is suspicious.He advised the attorney-gemeral to take action at once.The brother suspected is still at Point Du Chene, quite unconcerned at the pensation the affair \u2018has made in the vil age.Situations Vacant\u2014Free insertion in Herald and on Herald Want Bulletin.\u201cTHE SS.CASTILIAN, The New Allan Liner Will Be a Very Pine Vessel.Messrs.H.& A.Allan\u2019s new steamship Castilian will take her place on the Liver- pool-Montreal route next spring, at the beginning of the St.Lawrence season.The contract called for her completion by the end of 1897, but owing to the engineers\u2019 strike her building was delayed.The Castilian, when completed, will have oa registered tonnage of 8,800; her length will be 520 feet, and her beam 58 feet.She will be half as large again as the Parisian, and her entire passenger accommodation will be situated within 75 feet of the centre, Although she is not intended for what is now known as a fast boat, she will have a speed of about fourteen end a half knots per hour.She will have passenger accommodation for 150 first cabin, 120 second cabin, and 800 steerage.The saloon, staterooms, and smoking room, will be all

different temperatures in the separate chambers, RIGHTS OF PURCHASERS.Distinction Between Ordinary and Sheriff's Sales.The Court of Appeal yesterday after noon \u2018heard \u2018arguments in Deschamps vs.Bury, an appeal from a judgment in the Court of Review, reversing the Superior Court.The point raised is as to tne status of a purchase at a dheriff\u2019s sale.Deschamps petitioned to have set aside an adjudication \u2018to him at sheriff's sale of an immovable property on the ground that the property was substituted by will to the children of the defendant in the suit in which the execution issued, and that as they were not represented at tue sale he was lable to eviction.The lower court upheld his contention, drawing a distinction between an ordinary purchaser and a purchaser at sheriff\u2019s sale.Ant ordinary purchaser having paid the price voluntarily, cannot claim it back unless he + troubled or evicted, but the court was of opinion that under article 714 of the Code of Procedure, the purchaser at dheriff\u2019s sale has the right to have it set aside if he is liable \u2018to evietion for any reason.In the Court of Review this distinction was mot acknowledged, and the judgment} was mneversed.Tige Court of Appeal reserved judgment.Situations Vacant\u2014Free insertion in Herald and on Herald Want Bulletin, QUEBEC CITY NEWS.Quebec,

has been framed and will be published in full in à few days.In the verdict Mr.Mott has dealt gently with his friends of the American Cycle Racing Association.C.Sv.Ashinger, builder of the short track which caused the trouble, is censured for his negligence in not properly measuring the track after its completion.A.B.Batchelder, a member of the American Cycla Racing Association and official handicapper of the New York State division of the League of American Wheelmen, is given the option of withdrawing from the organization named or resigning from the latter office.The American Cycle Racing Association is mildly reprimanded and cautioned that in future applications for sanctions must be accomplished by official track

paced.This challenge will remain open until further notice.I would like to see some ot the European riders accept my challenge, Lehr, the German champion, preferred.\u201d St.Louis, Mo., Jan.20.\u2014In reply to the challenge issued by Jay Eaton,, the champion indoor bicycle rider, offering to ride against anybody in the world, a telegram was received by Eaton last night from J.W.Morgan, the well-known cyclist in New York, saying he had posted $500 with a New York newspaper to match a rider with Eaton.At L.A.W.headquarters it is thought Morgan is backing either Lehr, Michaels or Bald, \u2018 * CYCLING CHAT.Edouard Taylore, the French middle.distance champion rider, who was injured while racing with Frank Starbuck at Philadelphia on Saturday night, arrived at the Hotel Bartholdi, New York, on Sunday.The Philadelphia physician who examined the rider found that his left shoulder and right knee cap were partially dislocated.Both were easily replaced, and Trainer O.L.Picard expects that Taylore will be in shape to race within ten days.Taylore was a lap ahead and seemed like a sure winner on Saturday night when his pedal struck the floor and threw him down.Taylore was paced by nearly all the men who have piloted Michael to victory and it was noticed that the Frenchman rode exceptionally well.It now appears that manufacturers are not running after bicycle racing men to ride their wheels for a salary during the 1898 season.The falling off of the trade\u2019s support of racing men began in 1886.In 1897 the lack of support was marked, and this year there are precious few racing men who can boast of being salaried by a maker.Many who Jest year drew salaries and expenses cannot this year get even expenses.In this dilemma the speed merchants are going back to first principles and actually buying their racing wheels according to their judgment.Fred Loughead told The London News that he is out of the racing game now, and will devote his attention in future to his father\u2019s business in Sarnia.LACROSSE.THE OAPITALS' STORY, John P.Dunne Makes a Lengthy and Interesting Statement.Mr.JohnP.Dunne has given the following letter out for publication.It will explain itself: | To the Chairman of the National Senior Lacrosse League of Oamada.Dear Sir,\u2014As a desire was expressed at the meeting on Saturday last that I should formulate in writing the views which I had the opportunity of laying before the Lacrosse League on the subject of the \u201cbonus\u201d given to our players after the season of 1896, I will now submit for your consideration the following statement in three divisions: 1.The only part of the commonly ac- capted sporting definition of the word amateur that applies to the case mn ques tion is \u201come who has never taught, pursued or assisted in the practice of athletic exerises as a means of obtaining a livi- hood.\u201d The men who compose the playing part of the Capital Lacrosse Club are without a single exception, in the receipt from sources wholly unocommected with lacrossa of income sufficient to give them a respectable maintenance.The amount of the bonus, which, it must be remembered, the players had no means of expecting, 1s so relatively insignificant as to preclude all poesbility of the thought that such a sum was either given or accepted as a means of livelihood.And no better proof can be given of the entire absence of anything like pre-concerted arrangement or anticipation in the premises than the statement that the idea of giving the \u201cbonus\u201d (instead of the absolutely unobjectionable \u201c\u2018souvemir\u201d) emanated in 1896, at all events, from the present writer at the close of that season.2.That the undersigned does not think that the giving or accepting of the said \u201cbonus\u201d constituted a breach of even the letter of the definition above quoted.For, let it be supposed for a moment for the sake of argument that such a sum given in a aingle season could be construed \u201ca means of livelihood,\u201d still in order to come within the range of professionalism, or semi-professionalism, the men would necessarily have to contract for am amount more or less fixed, or, at least, anamount im ready money.Yet not only was there a complete lack at any time of such a contract, expressed or implied, but, also, as a matter of fact, the players were not e/ware until the accounts of the season had been ¢losed and the receipts checked that it was the intention to give them a present of any description, much less a present of this kind.In this case there was a complete absence of two out of four conditions necessary to a contract; there was no valid consideration or expectation of any kind; and there were no contracting parties.3.The real reason for giving the \u201cbonus\u201d was that the executive, who felt that their men richly merited something in the way of a souvenir of the hard- fought fields of 1896, were rather in a quandary as to what form it should take to suit the taste of every individual player, and at the same time as a matter of impartiality to keep the cost of such souvenir at the same level in all cases.y man, is glad to have, Ottawa our players were already provid: ded in a handsome manner with almost only form of gift which one may be ; ting, as well as any dad to hay namely, a

circumstances above indicated was greater than mig at first be imagined.\u2018The intention, there fore, in all good faith, was simply, by act ing as we did, to enable every player please himself.: In submitting this statement to your candid and careful judgment the present writer may be permitted to remind you, and through you, the public et large, that the present \u201cunpleasantness\u201d in which our club is momentarily involved had areen from an honest and manly endeavor z= our t to purify the national game.the Capital Lacrosse Club had felt that there was any taint of professionalism or of wemi-professionalism in its men or în its methods, it would have been the east- est thing in the world\u2014a thing, too, popular with a certain small but noisy section of the community\u2014to have refrained from the action culminating in that very lawsuit out of which comes the desirability of this present statement.But, conscious of their rectitude, the executive unhesitatingly seized upon the first opportunity that seemed to present a sure means of exposing the tactics of a numerically insignificant clique.It seemed, indeed, as if such an opportunity had been offered on one or two preceding occasions, but it would be too tedious to recount here why it was deemed impossible to then take effective action.In 1897, however, our executive was convinced that the way was clear to act boldly, and without any respect of persons, in defence of the best interests of the game; and it is now respectfully but withal firmly submitted that it seems subversive of those very interests which we all are so anxious to conserve, that this club of ours should be embarrassed for having conscientiously essayed the performance of a painful but still pressing duty.And the undersigned ventures, in fine, to submit that the great, generous public which loves clean, scientific and manly sports, will cordially endorse the action in the premises of the Capital Lacrosse Club.(Signed.)

intention of entering the Henley regatta again this year, it is interesting to note that a certain element.of the English rowing contingent have not regained their good humor since the young oarsman won the Diamond Sculls last year.In a review of the rowing events of 1897 the London Sportsman makes the following comments om the American victor: \u201cIt was evident that he had been tutored from à very early age, and has turned out one of the most finisher scullers that we have seen.This may seem a rather rash statement to people who only witnessed his soulling towards the chose of his heats.To them he appeared to have a very \u2018dirty finish,\u201d but it must be borne in mind that he was never extended until the final \u2018heat.\u201cNo one could find fault with his rowing against Blackstaffe; at least, in the early part of their race.He only struck 32 in the first minute, while the Englishman put in five or six strokes more, but still the American drew rapialy away, and there is not the slightest doubt that few of our best professionals row a harder, cleaner and more powerful stroke.For this he is indebted to the tuition of hig father, who was in the top class of professionals when ptoressional \u2018rowing was at its height.\u201cThere is not the slightest doubt that Ten Eyck has not only been taught hg to row, and how to row well, but he was also taught all the tricks of the professional waterman.These he showed off to perfection at Henley.Grave suspicion was cast upon his amateur status, even by his fellow-countrymen, long before he left f£or England, and the Henley Regatta Committee gravely debated the question whether he should be allowed to row.\u201cOnce they had decided the question in his favor, the young gentleman, proceedsd to row a secret trial, which is always voted bad form at Henley, and during his various heats displayed an apt knowledge of various waterman\u2019s tricks which an English amateur is not supposed to learn, not to mention practice.\u201cWe must put on record once more our admiration for Ten Eyck as a sculler, but venture to think he was out of his sphere at Henley.He received a good \u201csend off\u201d from the professional rowing men of Put- ney before returning to America in the shape of a dinner given by a local publican, but the amateurs were conspicuous by their absence.\u201d ame mer tie Situations

Richard Cartwright Was the Principal Speaker at the Annual Banquet Last Night, OUR INCREASING TRADE.A Cause for Congratulation on all Sides\u2014Government Defended, Toronto, Jan.20.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Al most successful gathering was that of the Toronto Young Men's Liberal Club, at their annual banquet in the Rossin House last night.Mr.R.J.Gibson, president of the club, made an excellent chairman Among the most prominent guests were: \u2014 Sir Richard Cartwright, Mr.A.S.Hardy, Premier A.B.Warburton, of Prince Edward lsi:and, Messrs.G.H.Bertram, M.P., Geo.Casey, M.P., James Innes, ex- M.P., Hugh Blain, J.H.Mackenzie, J.S.Willison, Alex.Smith and George Ross.Sir Richard Cartwright, in replying to the toast, was received with loud cheers.In reminiscent mood, he recalled events in the House of Assembly, thirty-five years ago.Never since confederation had the prospects of Canada seemed beter than at the present moment.At the present moment the greatest need of Canada was an increase in population.For many years the progress of the Do- minjon in this respect was far below what it ought to have been.For his own part he preferred quality to quantity, and above all, he desired that the citizens of Canada should remain in Canada instead of being driven across the border ta seek their homes in the United States.The tide, however, now seemed fo have turned, and many of those who had left the country were returning.As Minister of Trade and Commerce, he naturally looked to tthe exports from the country as an indication of the standing of the country.In the fiscal year of 1896 the exports of Canada attained the figure of $109,915,000, the greatest \u2018amount reached to that period.Last year these exports reached the figure of $123,930,000, an increase of $14,000,000 over the best previous exports.For the period of seventeen, months ending November 30th last, since the Liberal Government attained power, the increase had been $28,000,000.Crow\u2019s Nest Pass Railway.The Government's reasons for assenting {0 an outlay of $3,000,000 for the construe- tion of the Crow\u2019s Nest Pass Railway was stated.The Government was aware that if this project was not undertaken by them it would be undertaken by others, and much trade diverted into American channels.They saw that much money would be added to the revenue of the country by entering upon the enterprise.Other of their friends complained because the Government had not constructed this Tailway as a publie work.But experience had taught him that Government works cost more than other works, and they did not want, to have another Intercolonial Railway in the Rocky Mountains, Furthermore, if the work had been carried on as a Government work, it would doubtless be a precedent for many other applications of a similar kind.The Government was also attacked in some quarters for making expenditure in opening up the Klondike, and for expecting some return therefor.They had reason to expect at least 100,000 persons in that region at an early date, and they were attacked for trking measures to establish the sovereignty of the Dominion there.Canada and the Empire.Referring to the relations of Canada and the Empire, he spoke of the precedence given to Canada at the Jubilee.Great Britain, he said, now recognized the important part that Canada played in the Fmpire.It was therefore most advisable that Canada should at all times preserve a coolness of judgment in dealing with the United States.He advised Canada to set to work to dieabuse the minds of citizens of the Remarblic of two things, first, that Canada could not live independently ot them, and second, that Canada was mot prepared to barter her inheritance for any material advantage.Canada went to the United States, not as a beggar, but prepared to give measure for measure.No man more than himself had reason to entertain feelings of antagonism to the United States, and yet ha dhose to cultivate by all honorable means friendly political relations, if nothing more, with the Republic.The Empire, he said, owed as much to Canada as Canada owed to the Empire.Canada had proved that she ap- prcciated her relation with the Empire, by making a substantial reduction in thie rates of duty upon British goods, and John Bull speedily decided between Tory promises and Grit performances.(Applause.) Premier Hardy Confident.Hen.A.S.Hardy, on rising to respond, was reecived with tremendous cheers.Ie extended a graceful welcome to DPromier Warburton, of Prince Edward Island, a stranger in their midst.Referring to Provincial politics, he asked what had become of the vast array of arguments that the Opposition launched farth so boldly against the Minister of Education when they were hundreds of miles away ?It seemed most extraordinary that reporters should have followed members of the Opposition about the country for the express purpose of mis- ropresenting their speeches, for these gentlemen spent much of their time in correcting what they said they \u2018had not said.In no one of the six elections he had already participated in, since being a member ot the Government, did the prospects look so bright as for the present.(Applause,) There was reason, he said, to be hopeful in view of the splendid standard-bearers that had been nominated to take the field for the Government.He called attention to the fact that every dollar of the debt incurred by the Government had been assented to by the Opposition under Mr.Meredith, Mr, Whitney and other leaders, In view of their protestations about the debt, therefore, one would have expected them to oppose the railway aid resolution, voted this session.They had offered no opposition whatever, Furthermore, among the men present when a deputation had waited upon the Government recently, asking a million and a \u2018half dollars for a railway to James\u2019 Bay, who did they think were present?\u2014Mr.Craw- - ford, Dr.Meacham and Mr.St.John, the man who talked about mortgaging the old homestead.He defined the difference between the timber policy of the Opposition \"and that of the Government to be that the Government proposed to stand by its pledge, made to licensees for theqyear ending April 30th, that they would not be required to manufacture in Ontario for that year, LAKE CARRIERS ELECT

th Sustentation Fund.The Anglican Synod re-assembled this morning for the continuation of business, After the usual routine business Rev.Dean Carmichael moved a vote of thanks to Dr, Ker for his lecture on Bishop Patteson, list night, and said that he had never rca:.\u2018ihe motion was carried, the Bishop expressing his great pleasure at Dr.Ker\u2019s address.Wlhén notices of motion were called Rev.W.P.Chambers gave notice that at the next meeting of Synod he would move that this Synod being in favor of the principle that women as well as men have a place in the church, and a right to spend and be spent in His service, hereby empowers the law officers of the Synod to take the neces- gary steps to remove the disabilities imposed upon women in\u2019 the temporalities act in order that women in this diocese may be restored to the position Holy Secrip- ture and Holy Church accord to them.Several other notices of minor importance were given for the present session.The time of this morning\u2019s session was spent in a discussion on the superranuation fund.Ven.Archdeacon Evans presented the report of the fund which showed that forty-seven of the dergy had qualified themselves by the payment of their fees, and rank on the fund, while sixty-seven had not.Moreover, in many cases no collection had been made for the fund.The archdeacon moved that the Bishop be respectfully asked to enforce the canon which calls on each clergyman to pay five dollars a year to the fund, and make an annual collection for it.The discussion was carried on by a large number of members of Synod, clerical and lay.Dean Carmichael stated the \u2018case clearly and with his accustomed Humor.The canon, he said, was pluin and there could be no excuse for failing to obey it.Besides, from a business standpoint, the clergy ought to pay up.\u201cIf a man came into my study to-morrow,\u201d said the dean, \u201cand said that a number of business men were desirous of benefiting the clergy, and that they had formed a fund so that a clergyman could obtain a considerable grant if nny infirmity should overtake him, by paying an annual fee of $5, no irout lying mn the shelter of a reck in a placid brook would jump more wagerly at the bait than I would ut that offer.If I refused and told the members of my family about it, I am afraid they would shake their heads and say \u2018the old man is going.\u201d Rev.Frank Charters\u2014\u201cMight I ask if the trout in the placid brook would wait ten years before touching the bait?\u201d The Dean\u2014 \u2018The bait would be so estimable a morsel that the trout would wait and pray for the ten years to hurry up.\u201d It was pointed out first by Dr.Norton, and emphasized by other speakers that young ministers did not pay up expecting to move, and in thet case thay would lose what they had paid.Dr.Norton con demned this practice, as the payment was to the fund, and not simply a personal matter.Other speakers, however, defended the non-payment of the five dollars fee on account of the small salaries paid to many of the ministers.On being put to the Synod the motion was carried.The Synod has still a lot of business à the order paper, which will be rushed off this afternoon as much as possible.be held to-night.SHOULD GO TO SEA, Pilot Apprentices Should Make at Least 8 Ocean Voyages.Judge Lavergne,

Ste.Anne de la Perade, and Delavou Naud, pilot, Deschambault, were heard.They favored the widening and deepening of the channel, particularly at the curves; the reduction of the number of ptlots and the compelling of apprentices to make at least three ocean voyages, in order to give them experience with big ships.The Hon.Charles Langelier appeared for ithe pilots; Mr.J.B.Allan for the Harbor Board, and Mr.F.HK.Meredith ior the shipping interests.\u2018 WESTMOUNT IS FREE From a Judgment for $100,000 Given Against It.The citizens of Westmount can breathe for a \u2018time at least there will not be a judgment of $109,000 to be set against the surplus which they are so proud of.The Court of Appeals this afternoon maintained the appeal! of the town and reversed the judgment of the Superior Court, confirmed in review by which Mr.R.Warmington was awarded $100,000 damages for land which he alleged was wrongfully taken in opening up Sherbrooke and other streets in the municipality.The judgment in Bulmer vs.Warmington was confirmed.It is probable that both cases may go io the Supreme Court AMEDEE IN TROUBLE He is Again Arrested Charged With Several Offences.Jos.Amedee Lapointe, who

Admitted Several Important; Witnesses Were Heard This Morning.Joliette, Que, Jan.20.\u2014(Special.)\u2014 There was very little evidence taken at the Nulty trial this morning, but the defence scored its first important point, the court, on motion of Mr.De Salaberry, ruling out the damaging admission made by the prisoner at Morin\u2019s Hotel, Joliette, the same day as his complete confession was made The first witnesses called were Idmond Morin, blacksmith, of Rawdon; Johnny Trudel a friend of Tom\u2019s, and Joseph Leduc,.a Joiiette policeman.The prisoner\u2019s mother was also put on the stand, and she adwitted Tom had spoken of getting narncd, but she did not think Le was sericus.After her evidence she was taken awa, ty hii husband, who appears to have bisken down completely, sobbing frequently during the morning.Detective McCaskill was put in the box end was called upon to explain what took place while he had Tom Nulty in a room by himself at Morin\u2019s Hotel, Rawdon, two days after the murder, and endeavored to get a confession from him.Mr.P.Span- jeart, of the Star, was called before him and was asked to give the details of what tok place before the reporters in the hotel that day.It will be remembered that while the prisoner was being quedtioned bafore the vewspaper men Detective McCaskill took Tom into another room by himself and Questioned him.When Mr.Spanjaart arrived at this point in his recital, Mr.De Nalaberry, counsel for the defence, asked that the detective be put on the stand, and the Coonrt granted the request.Just what took place then has mever before been made public.In reply to Mr.De Salaberry\u2019s skillful cross-examination, the detective said he had accused the prisoner, after pointing out what circumstantial evidence he had against him, of being the murderer.He had also taken great care to warn him that anything he might say might be used against him.Asked as to whether he had mot stretched the truth a little in placing what he knew against the accused before him, the detective said he had placed matters in the strongest light, but had been strictly truthful.Mr.De Salaberry asked the count to strike out this testynony, as the prisoner was evidently laboring under strong excité- ment and the detective admitted he was a nervous jumper.His Honor Judge Del.orimier concurred, and this part of Tom\u2019s story will not go before the jury.The court then adjourned for the morning.: A DESIRABLE CHANGE.Montreal Merchants who have occasion to write frequently to European correspondents in order to ensure their catching the first mail from New York frequently post the letters a day before the mail is closed in this city.The post office authorities have not, in the past sent these lettters on first train, but have held them for \u2018the regular British mail with the result that if the trains miss connections with each other or with the steamer, the care exercised by the writers in posting their letters early goes for naught.Representations that the letters should go forward as soon as posted have been made to the authorities and it 1s probable that in the future thie will be done.TWO CONVICTS FLOGGED.The long threatened came at last.Cardinal and Poudriard, the leaders of the disturbances at St.Vincent de Paul penitentiary, wera whipped on Tuesday afternoon.The convicts were marched to the bal- coties of the centre of the prison, and there were spectators at the flogging.Both men took their punishment well.There thas been no shouting among the prisoners since, and the mild revolt seems to be over, WANTS DAMAGES FROM THE CITY.Just five weeks ago Mr.Morris Wright slipped on the sidewalk on St.Catherine street near the Queen\u2019s Theatre, and broke ms right arm.He ckims that the city allowed the sidewalk to be in such a bad \u201ccondition through the half clearing away of the ice, that it was dangerous to pefestrians.The case is in the hands of Mr.Peers Davidson, and the city is to be sued for heavy damages.SUB-CONTRACTOR\u2019S LIABILITY.Mr.Justice Curran has given judgment for $109.15 in favor of the plaintiff in the case of Theophile Guerin vs.Abel Chapman.The defendant had a number of build: ings erected on Shearer Street, the contractor being a Mr.Dwyer, who gave a sub-contract to the plaintiff for some painting.Dwyer failed before the work was completed.and the Court held that the defendant was responsible for the work done by the plaintiff from that moment.NEW CITY OFFICE.The Government Railway system will on May lst move its city ticket office from the present localion,

vs.Corporation of Oxford.In 1870, the county, by by-law, subscribed $225,000 to the St.Francis and International Railway, and authorized the Issue of six per ceut, debentures for twenty-five years to vaîlle tbe sum.To meet the interest and principle a tax of five mills on the dollar was imposed, with a provision that any surplus from dividend or the sale of stock should be applied to the reduction of this sum, Shortly after this the three townships in question were dismembered from the County of Compton, but remained Jable for their shave of tbe special tax.The county, at the expiry of the twenty- five years, brought action to recover arrears of the tax and got judgment against Oxford.The two other municipalities brought counter mctions, calling on the county to account, but were defeated im the Superior Court, which declared \u2018that as the relations were simply those of debtor and creditor the debtor had no right to ask for an ace court, The majority of the

judgment he was allowed $1,500, which was afterwards re- dured to $1.000 in the Count of Review on account of the contributory negligence.Mr.Justice Bosee, in rendering the judg- .ment of the Court,
