Starving in New York.TIS A PATHETIC STORY.Publicity Saved Them\u2014Help Sent From Montreal; 2 Montreal theatregoers will well remember Miss Ethel Hertslet\u2014Mrs.Claude Barry\u2014for some time a memiber of the Theatre Francais Stock Company, and known in connection with many other local theatrical affairs, It will be sad news to read that Mr.and Mrs.Barry have just been saved from actual starvation in the big city of New York.Publicity, though exceedingly painful, has saved them.Mr.Barry tells the following story of the tragedy of six long weeks :\u2014 \u201cOur life for the past six weeks has been most extraordinary,\u201d said Mr.Barry.\u201cI have never dreamed it was possible for people of intelligence and energy to go to the wall as we have done.It was not bad judgment but bad luck.\u201d Mr.and Mrs.Barry both looked worn and pallid, but betrayed a dheerful devotion to each other.\u201cI came here from Montreal in October,\u201d said Mr.Barry in the New York interview.\u201cMy wife had been here two weeks and confidently expected a theatrical engagement.I am an expert accountant, and have never found it difficult to get employment hitherto.\u201cMy wife looked for other engagements and I answered advertisement after advertisement.The days went by.I got no work; she failed to secure an engagement; our money melted.My wife developed the most marvellous housekeeping qualities, end I could only watch her in amazement.\u201d Mr.Barry went to look out of a window to hide his emotion, and his wife took up the story.\u201cThere is an underlying cause for our failure to get work,\u201d she said.\u201cHundreds of men were after every position my husband sought.And my case is explained by the fact \u2018that the yellow fever in the \u2018South sent sixty-four companies back to New York during November and Decem- Der.Of course, when we came here we were buoyant and cheerful.We couldn\u2019t believe we would fail utterly, It seemed as though it wae only going to be a mai- ter of time, and so we «tudied prudence and economy.\u201cWe have walked these streets of New York all day on our different errands to save car fare.I have walked from here to Canal street, across and up and down and back home again.My husband has walked further yet.And then we came home at night to look to each other for comfort, but we wouldn\u2019t give way.Neither wanted to break the other\u2019s courage.\u201cI have tried various things outside my profession.I triad tinting photographs.The outfit cost me $3.75.The firm supplied the photographs with the glass to mount them on and promised me 25 cents a dozen.They have to be tinted with great care, and the mounting is exceedingly difficult.A bubble of air will make a big spot.It is maddening to try anything so delicate when you are excessively nervous, Well,\u2019 I ruined more than 1 could make ten times over, and I gave it ap.\\ \u201cWell, as soon as we discovered me were in for siege we bought some housekeeping tools.Our outfit for cooking cost just $1.64.\u201d The Barry showed the reporter their account book, a leaf of which read thus: Jan.10.Mutton sew.$0.11 Bread.2e 00 24 00 00 ea 05 Bread

anything.\u201d The newspaper stories brought the Parrys no end of sympathy.Mr.Barry has gained a good position, and Mrs.Barry js likely to do the same, as she has had several offers.Letters poured in on them from people who wanted help.One man, wn street-car conductor, came with a basket his wife had prepared with home goodies\u2014 two sbuffed chickens, home-mnide bread, fresh butter and jelly.The conductor said he had \u201cbeen there himself.\u201d \u201cPeople have been awfully kind,\u201d said Mrs.Barrdy with tears in her eyes.\u201cAnd it is not so much what they did as the kind way they did it.This experience has t:ught us both That the world is full of kind \u2018hearts if one can only readh them.\u201d Help from Montreal.Yesterday a member of Mrs, Barry's friends heard of her terrible position, and they at once started a subscription list.The members of the Francois stock company contributed generously, and a nice sum was sent to help = suffering artiste.PARISH 1S LIABLE Judgment Again ¢ \u201ca rque of Lon gueuil Church.The cure and church wardens of the parish of St.Antoine de Longueuil were this morning condemned by Mr.Justice Davidson: to pay to Damase J.Ouimet the sum of $607, being the principal and interest of a note for $500 and the costs of a protest.In July, 1893, Edmond Roy contracted to put in a new \u2018heating apparatus in Longueuil parish church, and completed = MONTREAL, TUESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1898.PRICE ONE CENT.% Tune following the he transferred to his work, recei.\u20ac note in question.7 \u2019 the present plaint: + brought suit to compel the church uthorities to pay it.The defence raised was that the work was not well done, and a portion of it had to be replaced, and that a previous transfer from Roy to Thos.Robertson & Co.annulled the transfer to Cuimet.His Honor found that these allegations were not true, and that the plaintiff had proved his case.After the furnaces had been in use for a winter, and after Roy had remedied certain defects whidh were pointed out to him, the cure gave him a certificate that the work was welt and satisfactorily done.Expert witnesses also swore that the work was well done.In giving his certificate the cure must be considered to have acted for the church wardens, and in doing so created a lien on them.The transfer to Robertson & Co.was cancelled by a mortgage made before the second transfer.MONTREAL IS IN THE CIRCUIT- Highland Park Club Syndicate Have Leased the Track, Detroit, Jan.25.\u2014Walter O.Palmer, secretary of the Highland Park, was in the city on Sunday night, but went almost directly to Montreal to meet Geo.M.Hendrie there by appointment.Before leaving, he stated thait the Highland Park Club syndicate had taken definite posces- sion of the Montreal track for the fifth one in their circuit.His meeting with Mr.Hendrie in Montreal was for the purpose of signing the lease for the track and of concluding other arrangements for the meeting there, provision for which had been made in the schedule of dates already announced.\u2018 L'ILE DU DIABLE.How Dreyfus Spends His Time in Lonely Exile.New York, Jan.25.\u2014 (Special) \u2014 A World representative, who is watching Devil's Isiand, famous by its French name \u2014lle du Diable\u2014throughout the globe, says:\u2014\u201cSince Napoleon was held on St.Helena no prisoner has been so celebrated as is Capt.Dreyfus, its sole occupant besides the soldiers set to guard him.That is why a New York World representative is stationed at this remote and almost unknown spot to watch., \u201cDevil's Island is only a point of rock which sticks a scraggy head above the sea line.It is much nearer to Cayenne\u2019s water front than Staten Island is to New York's Battery.I doubt if mrore than three- quarters of a mile separates me from it as I write this cable message.Its area\u2014 the total area on which the now celebrated French officer has been doomed to spend his life\u2014is not greater than that of a sing'e floor of the Bowling Green Building on lower Broadway.Its longitude is 55, its latitude is 5.Its unfertile soil gives growing place to enough trees to make it look like a grove rising from the sea.The furthest of these trees might easily be cut down by a.shot from the forts of Cayenne.Indeed, the ragged little rock is completely commanded by Cayenne\u2019s guns, but this is far from satisfaction for the French Government.The prisoner, poor Dreyfus, is so important that the efforts of a garrison are insufficient to satisfy his captors.I can look from my window and see a black blot moving swiftly on \u2018the shining surface of the water between me and the prisoner\u2019s brief territory.It is a torpedo boat, La Terrible, a boat \u2018built for swiftness and manned by trusted men.If Dreyfus should attempt to escape in any craft which ever sailed these waters the torpedo boat could overhaul him in a moment.The prisoner\u2019s indoor life is passed in a tiny hut where he has one room.In it are a bed, a table and a chair.He is provided with writing materials, but what he writes is read.Twenty French soldiers watch him.He cannot speak to them nor they to him.He is a distinguished prisoner and they are picked guards.And allways the round deep muzzles of the Cayenne forts watch closely and the sombre gliding Terrible skims and snenks smoothly like a shark around the island.Dreyfus secs none of the prisoners at Cayenne.He only sees the guards with the sealed lips.On Devils Island there is no vegetation except the pines nnd the charitable moss which oarpets the rocks.But crawling things abound.There are spiders in the hut, any one of which might save the French Government by biting the prisoner\u2019s hand.Then there would be no prisoner.The wife and weeping children in far Paris would only know that husband and dear father had died of a venomous insect\u2019s sting.Zola, the brave movelist, who is fighting all France, would be fighting for a corpse.Centipedes and scor picns abound.Dreyfus\u2019s life is a weary, weary routine.He monotonously sleeps, montonously wakes and monotonously sleeps again.His clothes are coarse.His food \u2018is plain.Cut off from all communicdtion with his kind, he lives his days and nights unconscious of the fact that all the eamth is worried by his prisonment.THAT HYPNOTIC CASE.Toronto, Jan.25.\u2014Judgment was given yesterday in the case here involving the attempted use of hypnotism to discover a theft of jewellery.Lucy Dudley, a 16 year old girl, was a domestic in the family of R.B.Noble, when several hundred dollars worth of jewellery was stolen.Noble called in the services of a hypnotist to work on Lucy and if possible discover the whereabouts of the jewellery.The result was that Lucy\u2019s health was affected and her father sued Noble for $3,000.The jury awarded $150.DR.GRANT'S OPPONENT.Kingston, Jan.25.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Rev.D| V.Lucas preached in several Methodist churches on Sunday.The night audience was very large.Several times his remarks created applause, especially when he said that Canada was the fairest spot on earth, and her people should, by the prohibition of the liquor trafic, set a noble example to \u2018the whole world.Though he was not a Liberal, he thanked God the country had a Government with the courage to say that if the people wanted prohibition.it would give it to them.WILL ANNOUNCE THE DATE.Toronto, Jan, 25.\u2014Politicinas in a position to know are firm in the opinion that Premier Hardy will announce the date of the election at Brantford on Wednesday.Though every attempt has been made to keep the secret the preparations for the elections it is known that much of the necessary work has been completed.As a matter of fact the returning officers arc already appointed, and there is every probability the elections will fake place towards the close.- GENERAL BOOTH ARRIVED TODAY He Will Hold Four Meetings in Montreal, HIS DAUGHTER MEETS HIM.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 He is Accompanied by Commissioner Nicoll and Col.Lawley.General Booth arrived in town at half past eleven this morning from Halifax, the train which was due at nine o\u2019clock, being two hours and a half late.The General was to have been met at Windsor station by his daughter, Commissioner Eva Booth, who had come down from Toronto for the purpose; but that lady unfortunately fell suddenly sick and had to remain at Brigadier Sharp\u2019s residence on Chatham Street.Thither the General repaired immediatgly on the arrival of the train and went then to the residence of Mr.George Hague, whose guest he is.Commissioner Nicoll, editor-in-chief of the \u201cWar Cry,\u201d and \u201cS.A.Publications\u201d in England and Colonel John Lawley, the renowged song writer and singer, who accompanied the General on his last Canadian tour three years ago also arrived with the General and will assist with the Montreal campaign.The great public reception will be held in the St.James Church to-night at 7.45 p-m., with the Hon.Clifford Sifton in the chair.The General will also hold a great meeting to-morrow, Wednesday at 3.00 and 7.45 in the same building.: This afternoon General Booth addressed the students at Wesleyan College.A FATAL FIRE IN SPOKANE: Five Lives Lost and Much Property Destroyed.Spokane, Wash., Jan.25.\u2014A fire, in which the Joss will run up to $400,000 worth of property, and at the very least five lives were lost, took place last night.The Great Eastern block at the corner of Post street and Riverside avenue, six stories in height, and constructed of brick, caught fire about 11.45 p.m., and in three hours was totally demolished.All of the upper two flows and part of the third floor were used for lodging purposes, and at least 150 people were asleep in the building when the hre started.While most of them escaped with only their clothes, it is thought a number perished.The last out of the upper stories reports forms lying in the halls and women shrieking in the flames.The origin of the fire is supposed to have been in the engine voom.Mrs.Stark Oliver, wife of Dr.Stark Oliver, who lived on the second floor, says ghe heard an explosion shortly before the flames appeared.The Great Eastern block was built in 1890 at a cost of $250,000, and was owned by Louis Levinski, of Sam Francisco, who carried but $50,000 worth of insurance.Because of \u2018the network of wires eu vounding the building, it was with the utmost difficulty that ladders were elevated.While they were going up, thd people were at the windows, flames and smoke bursting out about them, shrieking.Crowds of people on the streets below shrieked in gympathy with them.Mrs.H.H.C.Davies, of Nebraska City, Neb., fell or jumped from a fifth-story window.She died at the Sacred Heart Hospital two hours later.A thrilling rescue was that of Robert Masom, his wife and their two-year-old son from the fifth Hoor, on the Post street mide.From a fire-escape on the fourth floor, seven feet to one side from their window, firemen threw them a rope which Mason made fast to his bed and came down hand- over-hand, carrying \u2018his little boy, Mrs.Mason following.As she hung suspended, far above the ground, the crowd watched with (breathless interest.When she was grasped by a fireman a shout of joy went up.A BIG GANG OF MEN, But the Money Will Soon be Exhausted, and What Then?City Surveyor St.George's staff of men has been increased within a few days from gix hundred to a thousand.Nearly every unemployed workman in the city has beem given something to do at cleaning away the enow.Those wiho are not on the streets in the employ of the corporation, are on the house-tops in the employ of owners or tenants.Mr.St.George will strike a serious sand spot in the shape of an exhausted appropriation before he has removed half the smow that is now piled up at the sides of the streets.What he will do then he is not now prepared to say.The Finance Committee meets this evening and something may be done then to meet the emergency which has arisen.There is a feeling among the members of the committee that as the snow canmot be permitted to remain on the streets, as it is mow, funds should be provided for its removal even though the money is taken from tle reserve fund.MASTER TAILORS IN SESSION.Buffalo, N.Y.Jan.25.\u2014The eighteenth annual convention of the Custom Tailors\u2019 Association of America was opened at the Tifft House this morning.Representative tailors from many of the important cities of the United States and Canada were present.This morning's session was entirely taken up with the appointment ot committees on credentials, constitution and by-laws, finance, and other minor business.Among the officers

FIRM And Bring Americans in the Yukon to Their Senses.Toronto, Jan.25.\u2014(Special.) \u2014The Board of Trade to-day received adespatch from the Victoria Board, asking them to urge the Government to close Dyea and Skag- way pass until satisfactory arrangements are put into effect by the United States Goverment for the passage of Canadian goods through the disputed territory, the obnoxious regulations being still enforced there.Mr.Edward Gurney, president of the Toronto Board, wrote Hon.Clifford Sifton urging him to find some effective means of checking the interference of Americans with the commercial efforts Canada was making in this territory.The letter stated that the Dominion Government by taking a firm stand now would avoid indefinite trouble in the future.WILL OPEN AN OTTAWA BRANCH The Banque Jacques Cartier Decide to go Further Afield., The Banque Jacques Cartier has decidea to establish a branch in Ottawa.Ait present the bank\u2019s exchange is done by the Bank of British North America, but the directors thought it better to have their own hank handle this business.The site chosen for the \u2018bank is cormer of Rideau and Sussex streets, whiere the Union Bank was for a number of years.The branch will be opened early in February, and the staff will in all probability be local men.THE CHINESE LOAN England and Russia are Both Fager to Get It.Pekin, Jan.25.\u2014Another loan conference with the Tsung-Li-Yamen has taken place, the latter receiving the Russian representative in the morning, and the British Minister in the afternoon.It is believed the British Minister, Sir Claude M.Macdonald, insists upon the opening of the port of Ta-Lien-Wan, and that Great Britain will not recede from that demand.Whether Great Britain or Russia secures the loan depends upon which exerts the greatest pressure.If Great Britain undertakes to protect China against Russia\u2019s displeasure, it is believed the loan will be concluded on the terms proposed by Sir Claude M.Macdonald, Germany's lease of Kiao-Chou has finally been fixed at ninety-nine years.The Chinese Emperor is greatly displeased.London, Jan.25.\u2014The St.James\u2019 Gazette, this afternoon, says it has authority for stating that Russia is mot likely to persist in her opposition to the opening of Ta-Lien-Wan.CITY IS HEALTHY.The mortality for the last week was the smallest in numbers for many years in the same month.The city appears to be in a healthy condition.The interments \u201cwere 83\u201473 in the Cartholie, 9 in the Protestant and one in the Jewish hurial ground.The causes of death were as follows :\u2014Diph- theria, 3; croup, 1; typhoid fever, 1; whooping cough, 3; consumption, 8; broncho-pneumonia, 1; congestion of the lungs, 8; pneumonia, 5; la grippe, 1; and infantile debility, 17.DR.ROCHE IS ILL.Winnipeg, Jan.25.\u2014A physician left the city by last evening's express for Minnedo- sa, having been called there hy the serious illness of Dr.Roche, M.P., for Mar\u201d l quete.| .A BOGUS MASON Lived High on Money.He Borrowed The Remarkable Confession of One George Fleming, Tacoma, \\Wash., Jan.25.\u2014George Fleming, who has just been convictedænd sent to the State penitentiary at Walla Walla to serve two and a half years for obbain- ing money under false pretences, has made a confession, which, if it were not corroborated by more than one hundred letters from different Masonic lodges in the United States and Camada, would be received with incredulity.Fleming is a bogus Mason, yet so skillful has due applied himself that he has been complimented by past grand masters on his knowledge of Masonry.By his own admissions he lived for years from money borrowed under false pretences from Masons, amounts varying from $10 to several hundred, or, .as he told ex-Sheriff Van Devanter, \u201caccording to their circumstances and times.\u201d The total amount of money thus obtained will probably reach $20,000, but he has borrowed so much that he does not pretend to recite ail the instances.He 1s travelled all over the world and never spent a cent for railroad or other transportation.He has so many, aliases that he cannot name them.He was known in Mississippi as Prof.Willey, in Kentucky as Alexander Craig, in Pennsylvania as William Bail, in Cincinnati and Chicago as Charles Wilson, in St.Louis as William Mays.In Paris he claims to have met and dined with the Prince of Wales and President Dudley Ward.For dessert he borrowed $150 from the Prince on the strength of Masonry.In Madrid he worked Mannis Taylor for free transportation to the rock of Gibraltar by the way of A PRETTY STIFF BLOW.Wind Attained a Velocity of 62 Miles an Hour.St.Louis, Mo., Jan.25.\u2014A terrific thunderstorm raged for an hour or more in this vicinity after 3 a.m.Tihe sky cleared after a time, shortly after daybreak, but the wind continued to blow.It increased in intensity until at 10.45 a.m.the weather bureau officials reported a velocity of sixty- three miles an hour tad been gained.August Weymeyer was blown off the Shields Building, and died in ten minutes from his injuries, A woman, name un known, is reported lying dead in some debris at 3840 Laclede Avenue, and a boy was killed by being blown from a porch roof in another part of the city.It is apparently a straight blow and not a tornado.THE KLONDIKE TRADE Montreal Seems to Be Getting the Lion\u2019s Share of It.Day by day, small parties are already leaving Montreal for the Klondike.Yesterday a party of three left Windsor station for the Arctic El Dorado, and to-day another party of four will set out for the same place.Montreal seems to be getting the lion\u2019s share of the Klondike business.A Montreal commercial man, who has just returned from the coast, stated this moru- ing that Montreal houses were doing most of the outfitting.Heavy buying orders are pouring into our commercial houses here, the lines in demand being blankets, woollen goods, caps and Klondike boots.Tue retailers of Vancouver and Victoria are looking for a tremendous trade early in the spring, and are loading up for it.In the meantime mills are working overtime on blankets and ducks to meet orders already in for February delivery, PREMIER GREENWAY\u2019S SOHEME.Winnipeg, Jan.25.\u2014Premier Greenway, when questioned regarding his railway scheme, said there would be mothing to make public until after a council meeting has been held.The full cabinet assembled at the Legislative buildings last evening and were in session until 11.30 when an adjournment was made until this mornnig.The ministers declined to make any statement re garding the questions under consideration, but it is understood that the railway project was the principal matter dealt with, the result of the recent negotiations in Toronto being laid before his colleagues by the Premier.At this morning\u2019s meeting details for the coming session will be arranged.+ POLITICS IN NOVA SCOTIA.Halifax, N.S., Jan.25.\u2014D.McPherson, M.P.P.for Halifax, and W.T.Pipes, of Amherst, ex-Premier of Nova Scotia, were to-day sworn in as members of the Provincial Government without portfolio.The Provincial Assembly meets Thursday for the despatch of business, THE TUMBLE IN COFFEE AND SILVER Has Pulled Down South America\u2019s Prosperity.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u201cDON\u201d SHEPPARD'S REPORT mater On the Trip He Made in the Interests of Trade.Ottawa, Jen.25 \u2014(Spjecial.) \u2014Mr.E.E.Sheppard, Canadian Government Commis- \u2018À sioner to the Central and South American Republics, is in the city to-day making a verbal report to Sir Ridhand Cartwright on the results of his mission.Mr.Sheppard has just returned from a fivemonths\u2019 visit to the countries of America, previous to that time having made a visit to Mexico and the Central American group of republics.He is confident that the information he has gathered and which will soon be placed before the people of Canada, may be the means, if properly taken advantage of, of very considerably increasing the trade between Canada and South America.One fact, however, which impressed him most forcibly, and which will have a potent effect on the character of the trade development, is that the task of increasing our exports to, and imports from these Spanish-American countries, must be assumed by \u2018individuals or by people interested in particular lines of business.In other words, the conditions are not such as to justify governmental inter ference.Every article of Canada make or produce, exported to the South, must be sold on its merits, in direct competition, for the most part, with similar articles exported from the United States, England or Germany.The Canadian in South America has no easier field in which to sell his wares \u2018fhan he \u2018has in Canada.He must study the needs of his customer, and offer them as good goods, at as reasonable prices, as do his competitors.To this end he must have agents or representation in the various countries, men appointed to look especially after tihe interests of one, or a few, lines of imports.Under-priced Depression.Bud this is not, in Mr.Sheppard\u2019s opinion, a favorable time ito attempt on any large scale an expropriation of the South American market.Two causes are contributing to an almost universal depression of business and stagnation of enterprise.Nearly all the countries are on a silver baris, and the low price of the whiibe metal has demoralized prices of all other commodities.The other cause contributory to the depression is peculiarly interesting, as illustrating ome of the effects of the exten- give modern system of international trade\u2014 whereby the fortunes of ome State may hang on the excess or deficit in the erops of a country on the other side of the globe.In a word, the low price of coffee is bringing commercial disaster upon South America, and this low price marks the present stage of a movement that hegan when the price of cereals the world over fell with the extension.of railroads and the development of wheat-growing areas.Coffee Hangs on Wheat.Many of the South American republics grew cereals in large quantities, but as the price of these fell the agriculturalists began to turn their attention to coffee-grow- ing.Now, the coffee shrub takes five years from time of planting to time of bearing, and, therefore, the trees planted five years ago, when grain-growing ceased to be profitable, are only now becoming a factor in the coffee market.But down has come the price of coffee, due to fears for the future, as much as to over-pro- duction in the present.Coffee that soid at 80 shillings per bag in Septemiber, 1895, sold at 60 shillings ir September, 1896, at 35 shillings in September, 1897, and in November was down to 27 shillings and 6 pence.And it is still on the down grade.The merchants to which this coffee is exported have mot yet felt the full effect of this slump in prices, owing to combinations of dealers.Silver and coffee, then, are responsible for a condition of affairs that makes the time inopportune for Canadians to expect any great increase of general trade with South America.In some lines, however, there is immediate room for great development, LL Our Fish in Demand.For fish, Mr.Sheppard holds, there is a demand at most profitable prices.But special care must be exercised in catering to the particular wants of the people.Speaking generally, fish prepared for the cold Klondike will suit equally well for semi-tropical Peru or Chili.Much of the food products destined for the interior has to be packed across the mountains by men or mules, and, therefore, portability is a prime requisite.Mr.Sheppard suggests that fish, such as ihe Pacific haddock, ¢hould be sun-dried, dessiccated and compressed into bricks, So prepared, it will command a high price in the West Indies, South.America and Central America.But to develop the fish trade Canadian vessels must run further south than Dema- rara\u2014the terminal of the line at present running.These vessels should carry mixed cargoes, lumber and fish being the principal articles that we can export under existing conditions.White pine, owing to its liability to attack from certain insects, is mot a favorite in the more tropical South American countries.This is a good market, however, for British Columbia woods.Touching on this point, Mr.Sheppard says that the Toronto Mail and Empire is endeavoring \u2018to convey an entirely wrong impression of the addresses he made before the British Columbia Boards of Trade.He did not say that British Columbia pine was not sold in South America, but that it was not sold as such, but as Oregon or American pine, In the case of this industry, as, in fact, of nearly all Canadian products going South, much loss of prestige occurs to Canada owing to the trade percolating through United States channels.This is true also of our imports from the South American countries.There is clearly here room for the development of direct trade relations.The proposal of the people of British Columbia that a line of steamships running to Panama be subsidized does not meet with Mr.Sheppard's erdorsation.In Argentina a market for our agricultural implements may be found, and 1m Chili also.Mr.Louis K.Thompson is acting as representative in the latter country of various Canadian firms, and is building a large business.Sheppard was fortunate enough to be instrumental in securing a reduction of the duty on pine.It was being raised from 30 to 65 per cent., with an added duty of 25 per cent.on the 65.Ile secured a reduction to less than 35 per cent.While away, Mr.Sheppard visited tthe capitals of Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Chili, Guatemala and Mexico.He was also in Columbia, Bolivia, and Ecuador.In most of these countries the bulk of the foreign trade is in the hands of the British, but the Germans are making great strides.The people of ithe United States are also pushing their business interests.In referring to this latter fact, Mr.Sheppard motes an interesting feature of the situation.The Sphere of British Influence.in ithe Central American countries is gradually contracting, owing to the enterprise of American individuals.The Central States are being gridironed with railways \u2014to say nothing of canals\u2014and these are almost wholly in the hands of Americans.Honduras itself is practically owned by an American syndicate, which has securcd an extraordinary franchise, under which 1t controls the customs, builds and owns a railway, secures large land grants, and, in effect, assumes the suzerainty of the country.Four or five thousand men are employed on the Panama Canal, but at the present rate it will not be opened for half a century.If it be true that the Nicaragua Canal has fallen into the hands of a British Company, it will be an encouraging evidence that British influence is mot to be entirely obliterated in Central America.AN ELECTRIC RAILWAY.Will be Built from Jersey City to Philadelphia.New York, Jan.25.\u2014The Journal and Advertiser, to-day, says:\u2014Omne hour to Philadelphia on an electric railroad from Jersey City is the latest project of the Oentral Railroad of New Jersey.The controlling stockholders of the Jersey Central will furnish the bulk of the capital of the mew venture and the Jersey Central tracks will be used for the greater portion of the way.An old elevated railroad franchise, which permits the building of a road from the Jersey Central terminal at Communipaw, to Jersey City Heights, has been secured by parties representing the Jersey Central Company.The road will be extended over the meadows of Newark and by use of the Jersey Central tracks part of the way, and new tracks where a shorter route can be built, the line will be extended through Trenton to Philadelphia.The third rail Watkins alternating system will be used, whereby a speed of more than eighty miles an hour can be attained.The principal difficulty with the electric thirdirail system along surface roads lies in the danger to life from the highly charged electric rail.This difficulty has been overcome by a late improvement which leaves the rail charged with electricity only when the car is passing over it.This invention also permits the power to be utilized for 300 miles instead of fifteen miles as heretofore.CROKER'S HARD BROTHER: He is a Domineering Railroader in Ireland.New York, Jan.25.\u2014The action of Richard Croker\u2019s brother, manager of the Cork and South Coast Railway, in anbitrarily dismissing a signalman, has provoked a strike, which threatens to spread throughout all Irish railways, says the Dublin correspondent of the World.The men allege the signalman was dismissed solely because he had taken a prominent; part recently in laying their grievances before Manager Croker.They went on strike at an hour\u2019s notice.The employes of other Irish railways have given notice that they will strike rather than handle any goods coming by Croker\u2019s road, unless the signalman is reinstated.Manager Croker is noted among Irish railroad men as the hardest and most dom- ineening of taskmasters.He is always in more or less trouble with this men.WANT TO KERP THE BUFFALO.Winnipeg, Jan.25.\u2014There is a general feeling abroad that the City Council should take steps to retain the buffalo, recently given to the Dominion Government for Banff National Park by Lord Strath- cona, at Silver Heights.It is the only distinctive attraction that citizens can offer visitors to Winnipeg, and the loss of these animals will be severely felt here.A gentleman wiho is well acquainted with the land nvithin the park stated yesterday that the matural fodder provided there 1s unsuitable for buffalo, being sour grass and not what the buffalo of the plains have been accustomed to thrive on.Members of the City Council spoken ito appreciate the value of the buffalo to the city, but cannot see how they can prevent their removal.SNOW BOTHERED THE FREIGHT TRAINS.The heavy fall of snow between Montreal and Brockville has been the cause of a blockade on the Grand Trunk line.No freight trains have got through to western points since Saturday night, and westbound express trains have been greatly delayed.The road is now pretty well cleared, however, and \u2018trains

Central Vermont train w°h engine number six pulled in at the Wan- dsor Station Monday the great cow- -catcher of the big locomotive wis packed close and solid with the beawifal, and her immense driving wheels were circies of frozen snow, with black iron spokes ran ning through them.She was weather- stained and blotched to the top of her fun- el.She looked like a girl after a ball\u2014 risty, worn-out and dowdy of aspect.When a Herald reporter climbed up into her cab he found the big engineer wiping down her dirty face with a big handful of oily rags.\u201cWell, how did she stand it ?\u201d asked the reporter.\u201cLike a soldier-boy,\u201d said the engineer.\u201cPretty big storm?\u201d .\u201cHm!\u201d said the man with the oily rags.Were you out in it?\u2019 The Herald man said he had been for a little while.\u201cWere you on a locomotive?\u201d \u201cOf course not,\u201d said the Herall man.\u201cThen you don\u2019t know what a storm 1s,\u201d said the engineer contemptuousiv.\u201cIf you ever want to know just what a snowstorm like yesterday's is, just fight against it for six hours on a railway engine.And it ain\u2019t no little game of tiddle-de-winks, young man, I can tell vou, night now!* \u201cHow do you mean?\u201d \u201cWell, in the first place, your engind gobbles up the coal faster\u2019n we can shovel her in.Then the snow comes pounding against your head-windonvs and thaws and often freezes there, and someone has to crawl around outside and chop it off.And we don\u2019t have any orders to stand still when we're scraping ice off a cab window, I can tell you right now, too.\u201d \u201cThen the first thing you know, her in- mands are all bolled up, and someone has to get down and clean \u2018em out, of course.And then the beautiful starts working up in the draft flues, and we have to sweat along with closed draughts.\u201d \u201cBut the real fun haunt started yet.Just wait until this here fi] of snow dgtarts to drift, and then you'll -ce your cannon-ball expresses sneaking in seven hours late.Yor it\u2019s drifts that makes your engineer sweat.And it ain\u2019t every engineer as knows just how to take a drift.It\u2019s like riding a horse and trying to take a fence.First you've got to know your engine and your train.When you see your two little thin streaks of black rail fade into a piece of blank, blinding white, that means a drift, so you just touch her up a bit, and send her pound ing at it.Sometimes she bucks, and sometimes she takes it clean and beautira!, But if she sticks half way, you just bar her off, and go at it again, like a jockey at a hurdle.Yes, and sometimes she shics and throws you.And when she does that some one or other, of course, just break: it genitle-like to your widow.\u201d REMOVE SNOW

Privy Council from the decision of .Court of Appeal in the Eddy-Bessey +.As lhe case is a celebrated one and cresting from many points of view à T& : ne of it will make clear what Mrs.: ssey gains by the decisions recently ro cered.Tue litigation was begun in January, 1:35, by a suit on the part of Mr.Eddy a.1.nst his daughter for the sum of $187,- (0), amount in principal and interest which 1.» claimed to have advanced Mrs.Pessey a A her late mother for the purchase of a: d building upon the Eddy homestead property in Hull, the McKay- Wright farm en the Aylmer road, and the Conroy farm n ar Aylmer, alleging that he was hold- ire these and had a right of retention for ¢.at sum.Mrs.Bessey contested the ¢' yim on various grounds, amongst others that the plaintiff before instituting this action should have rendered an account.She also pleaded that the money claimed t> have been loancd by Mr.Eddy was in r ality a gift to her mother and herself & xd that if the gift to her mother was, as contended by Mr.Eddy, void by the law of the Province of Quebec it was valid ty the law of Vermont, which governed the matrimonial relations as to property of her parents.She also, took a cross ¢ giv for the cancellation of a notice which \u201cfr.Eddy had registered against these 1 roperties for the sum mentioned and Jo «btain possession of them, and at the came time instituted a separate action for her mother\u2019s jewellery, clothes and other effects, which had been kept from her Yr Mr.Eddy.In the month oË July fol- owing she also took an action to compel Mr.Eddy to account under a power of attorney given by her in July, 1890, which waz to be irrevocable during 5 years.There was also an action against the E.B.Fddy Co., for two years\u2019 rent oË certain stables upon the property which had heen leased to them by the late Mrs.Eddy for 2500 a year.Upon Mr.Eddy\u2019s demand the cases were all united, notwithstanding the objections of Mrs.Bessey\u2019s Jiwver.They were finally argued in the Superior Court in the month of Sept., 3505.and in January.1897.they were ei} 1 del bv Judge Gill in favor of Mrs.\u20ac \u2018sey.Mr.Eddy\u2019s action for $187,000 i «missed on the ground that the do- \u201ca to his wife, being valid by the laws Vosriont, must be upheld by the Que- nuits though contrary to the law .+ province.; \u2018y l'esses's crogg suit for possession 10 properties was maintained.Ber + +3 ordered to give up the jewel +} other effects or pay 55,700\u2014 vid value, and ordered to render \u201cnt of his administration; and the 171d¢ Company to pay $500 for 1 vent.; Hy took all his cases to the Court \u201cax and the judgments have all ! firmed with costs against him .the one ordering him to vacate the -4 v.He properties.In this case .+ art ho'ds that it is proved that Mr.i.+ had been the administrator of the LL vables oo his wife and daughter and that os such he had a lien upon them for any balance of account which might be éd > him.The court expressly stated that it was quite probable that Mr.Eddy Lad no clafin whatever.12 refused to adjudicate upon the mention as to whether the law of Quebec or that of Vermont applied by Mr.Eddy were his own or those of his wife, also saving that it might very well be that any monies actually paid by Mr.Eddy humself avere compensated by the rcvenues of the properties.The decision of this case and dhe main action were based entirely upon the question of accounting.The principal action was dismissed in appcal on the grand that no account had been ren- dored, but as a consequence Mr.Eddy\u2019s position of administrator of the properties of his wife and daughter, he was alowed to retain possession of them until such accounts shoul be settled, subject, ol course, to \u2018the liability to his daughter for the value of their enjoyment until such time as they should be delivered to her.THT EFFECTS OF CHEAP MONEY.\u201cThe effects of the reduced rates for money in Canada\u201d was the subject

the Montefiore Club last night.The speaker pointed out that during the past thirty years Canada\u2019s borrowing and judicious spending of larse sums have led to the approximating of the rates in Camacda more nearly with those of the centres of the world.He also stated that Canada\u2019s banking system was largely to be credited with the decline of mterest, furnishing as it did abundant and cheap money through the note issue.The trend of banking has been towards incrcas- ed investments, in bonds, ete, which are gilt edge but bring in low rates of interest.The encaker cited the troubles of loan com- pamies, which \u2018have to continue increasing their reserves, and showed that insurance companies have bean wompelled to reduce their reserve basis from 6 per cent.in 1847 to 4 per cent.in 1897, the Governanent rate being 43 per cent.In summing up, Mr.Weir said it was hard for tirose of fixed income, that it would augment the value of real estate.that it reduced merchants\u2019 expenses for discounts, and finally showed that if the United States adopted a dheaper money system its competition for trade in the world would be most severe upon the older mations.The chair was

together.Chairman Rainville and Aldermen Savignac and Connaughton were present and signed a number of warrants.Ald.Prefontaine, chairman of the Roads Committee, asked the Finance Committee to grant more money for street-cleaning purposes.Of their original appropriation they 'had only $3,000 left, and this was altogether inadequate to meet even the present difficulty, much less provide for any contingencies that may arise in the future.Mr.Prefontaine raid the side streets should be cleaned this year as they had been before.Ald.Rainville\u2014*\u201cI sympaihize with you, Mr.Prefontaine, but

SERVICE.A Liverpool Shipping \u2018Paper's Opinion on the Subject.The Liverpool Journal of Commerce has the following paragraph rega.ding the Canadian fast mail service: \u201cThis question has not been very prominently before the public for some little time now, but it mast not be assumed that it is out of th minds of the firm which undertook *o provide a 20-knot service or forfeit £70,000.Mr.Petersen, of the firm of Mer rs.Petersen, Tate & Co, has been visiting Liverpool, and has interviewed s\u201cme \u2018three or four praminent Liverpool shipowners in connection with the service.The results, we believe, have scarcely been of a character likely to inspire enthusiasm, It is to be feared that the respondibility was somewhat lightly undertaken, considering the position assumed by thost who had specinl knowledge and experience.\u201d THE BILL DENOUNCED.Father Rhulmann Does Not Like the Education Bill.The Education Bill introduced last session by Hon.Mr.Robidoux was denounced on Sunday at a meeting of the Union Catholique by Father Rhulman, on various grounds, chiefly because, as he claimed, it had a tendency to make of education 2 political machine; of placing it in the hands of a Minister who was a politician; of creating a State School; of decreasing the authority of the clergy; of imposing state education by the fmposition upon all of taxation for public schools which is contrary to the last encyelical which fully recognized the rights of parents to select their own school and teachers.a \u2014 A BIG HAUL OF TOBACQOO.Beche Plain, Que., Jan.25.\u2014(Special.)\u2014 Customs Officer John Paquette has been on the lookout for American goods that he thought were parsing the Customs Office without properly reporting for duty, und last might he started out on a trip to see what he could find to help the Government, and was successful beyond this hopes.About ten miles above Stanstead and near wihat used to be the Terrill Mill on the Ceaticook Road, is a sugar house a few rods from the road.Nov, John thought that would be a very handy place to store away goods which could be distributed to different points at the convenience of the parties who might need them, and he decided to investigate, with the result as stated.He found eighteen hundred pounds of Lorrillard\u2019s tobaceo packed away in the old sugar house, and thinking that rather an unsafe place to leave it, he got a two- horse team and hauled the whole lot to Stanstead.It is mot generally known who the parties are that owned the tobaeco, but probably some arrests will be made very soon and then we will know more about them.In any case, it is a pretty find for Officer Paquette, and scaneone will feel as if gomething was lost.CLAN GORDON, O.8.C.At the regular

Major du Paty de Clam arrests Dreyfus, throws \u2018him into secret confinement.He hastens to Madame Dreyfus, terrorizes her, says to her that if she speaks her husband is lost.During all this time the un- © happy man is tearing out his heart, crying forth his innocence.And so the case is drawn up, as in some chronicle of the fifteenth century, in the midst of mystery, with a complication of savage expe- dients\u2014and it is all grounded on a single childish charge, this stupid bordereau, which was not only a vulgar treason, but also the most impudent imposture, for the famous secrets that were delivered wera found to be almost all without he slightest Importance.Is it then true that there are unutterable things, dangerous things, fit to set Europe on fire, which they have been forced to bury carefully behind their closed: doors?No! there was behind them nothing but the romantic and crazy imaginations of Major du Paty de Clam.All that has been done is only to hide the most preposterous of romances.To be convinced of it, you have only to read with attention the act of accusation read before the council of War.Ah!

At Paris the truth went on its way, resistless; and we know how the expected storm burst forth.M.Mathieu Dreyfus denounced Major Esterhazy as the real author of the bordereau at the very mwu- ment when M.Scheurer-Kestner was about bringing before the Minister of Justice a demand for a revision of the case.It is now that Major Esterhazy appears.Witnesses show \u2018him crazed at first, ready for suicide or flight.Then, all at once, he brazens it out, he amazes Paris by the violence of this attitude.Help had come to him, he had received an anonymous letter warning him of the manoeuvres of his adversaries; a mysterious lady had even taken the trouble to bring him by night a document stolen at the general staff, which was to save him.Here I canmot help finding Lieut.-Col.du Paty de Clam.I have elsewhere proved that the Dreyfus affair was the affair of the War Of- fices\u2014a staff officer, denounced by his comrades of the staff and condemned under pressure from the chiefs of staff.Once again, he cannot come forth innocent without the whole staff being guilty.Accordingly, the officers, by every imaginable means, by press campaigns, by communications and influences, have covered Esterhazy only to destroy once again Dreyfus.How many men I know who, at the thought of a possible war, tremble with anguish, knowing in what hands our national defence has fallen\u2014and what a nest of low intrigues, of gossip, and jobbery, has become that holy asylum in which must be decided the fate of our country! They are frightened at the terrible light thrown on all this by the Dreyfus affair\u2014 this human sacrifice of a poor wretch, a \u201cdirty Jew!\u201d His Accusations.I accuse Lieut.-Col.du Paty de Cham of having been the diabolical workman of the judicial error\u2014unconsciously, I wish | to believe\u2014and of having afterwards defended his nefarious work, during three years, by the most preposterous and culpable machinations.I acouse Gen.Mercier of having become an accomplice, at least, by weakness of mind, of one of the greatest iniquities of the century.1 accuse Gen.Billot of having had in his hands the certain proofs of the inno- cence of Dreyfus and of having stifled them, of having made himself guilty of | the crime of treason against humanity and i justice, for a political end, and to save the compromised staff.I accuse Gen.de Boisdeffre and Gen.Gonse of having made themselves accom plices in the same crime, the one doubtless through Clerical passion, the other \u2018perhaps through that esprit de corps which makes the war offices the sacred ark, never to be attacked.I accuse Gen.de Pellieux and Major Ravary of having carried on an iniquitous investigation\u2014I mean an investigation of the most monstrous partiality, of which we have, in the report of the second, an imperishable monument of naive audacity.I accuse the three experts in handwriting, Messrs.Belhomme, Varinard and Couard, of having made lying and fraudulent reports, unless a medical examination should declare them laboring under maladies of sight and judgment.I accuse the War Offices of having carried on in the press, particularly in the Eclair and in the Echo de Paris, an abominable campaign to lead public opin- jon astray and to cover their own fault.I accuse the first Council of War of having violated the law, by condemming secret, and I accuse the second Council of War of having covered this illegality\u2014 under orders\u2014by committing in its turn the judicial crime of acquitting knowingly a guilty man.My burning protest is but the cry of my soul.Let them dare, therefore, to bring me inta count, and let the trial be held in open day.I wait.Receive, Mr.President, the assurance of my profound respect.EMILE ZOLA.GENERAL BOOTH.The Programme of the Meetings He Will Address.The programme for General Booth\u2019s meetings in the city has been arranged as follows:\u2014Tuesday, at 3.30 p.m, General Booth will address the city ministers and students and Christian workers at the Methodist College.At 7.45 the public reception will take place at the St.James Methodist Church, with the Hon.Clifford Sifton in the chair.Two other meetings will be addressed by the General on Wedesday afternoon and evening in the same church.For the reception meeting the subject announced is, \u201cThe Latest Progress and the Present Standing of the Universal Salvation Army.\u201d The meeting on Wednesday afternoon will be on the line of Christian advancement, while the cocluding service will be an army meeting.CANADA'S BUTTER AND CHEESE TRADE.Hxports to Great Britain Are Growing Rapidly.Toronto, Jan.25.\u2014(Special.)\u2014A special cable to the Evening Telegram says:\u2014 \u201cCanada is entitled to the honor of ranking seventh as a butter exporter to the British market.In 1894 the Dominion exported to England 20,887 cwts., and in 1897 109,402 owts.Canada since 1894 supplied 50.4 per cent.of the cheese imported by England, the percentage for 1897 being 58.86 per cent., or 1,626,654 cwts.The cheese is of excellent quality, securing almost three-fifths of England\u2019s entire trade.\u201d GLENGARRY COUNTY AGRICULTURISTS.Lancaster, Ont., Jan.24.\u2014(Special.)\u2014 The Glengarry Agricultural Society held their annual meeting at the Queen\u2019s Hall, Alexandria, on the 20th inst.R.R.Sang- ster, president, occupied the dhair.The auditors\u2019 report showed the society was in a satisfactory financial condition.The election.of officers gave the following results:\u2014President, À.A.McKinmon;

TACTICS.It is difficult to see just what is going to provide anything like a heated discus- sien in the approaching Ontario elections.Up to the present time Mr, Hardy and his coileagues have been exhaustively defending their record\u2014which the Opposition do not seriously attack\u2014and Mr.Whitney has been industriously organizing an Opposition which finds no measures to oppose.The Administration ini the last session took the wind out of the sails of the Opposition by adopting a vigorous timber policy.The parties are pretty much at one on that score.The Opposition do not even mildly criticise the Administration\u2019s mining policy, Here they are at one again.There is no religious issue\u2014as yet; no temperance issue wherein anyone could distinguish and divide between one side and the other.There are dim fore- shadowings aibout changes in the educa tional system if Mr, Whitney were to be returned to power, but they fail to evoke any strong interest.There are speeches that would, if collected and bound, make à decent-sized library, on \u2018the question ot cash surplus, a disputation which will be regarded by the ordinary elector with pretty much the same aversion he was wont to display towards knotty arithmetical propositions in his youth.It is thus the parties face each other for the conflict of an election, Mr.Whitney must be given credit for a considerable measure of tact.He has succeeded in understanding the disposition of the Provincial electorate better than his predecessor, in many respects an abler man, ever did.Twenty-five years have brought to the present Government a reputation for sagacity, economy and probity that is almost as unquestioned as a proverb.Instead of assailing this invulnerable reputation by an attack whose ef- feotiveness must depend upon his own ability to argue men out of their settled convictions, he has aimed to show that there is not so much difference between him and his opponent after all, and that me het \u201crs is out of office the circum: ++ ces favor his being a little better than tov, if anything, Mr Whitney and his eu ls assert that they have assurances of vty divisions which will result in the i of their candidates, and they act I\" {hey really believed it.: © probabilities are, therefore, that the .Onching contest will evolve a different « oË issues in almost every constituency.str.Whitney evidently prefers letting the - parate organizations wage their own wars, rather than dismay his foliowers by centering their attention upon a struggle in which he would be almost single\u2018hand- cd against six men, all of whom are at least his equals in ability, and most of them this superiors in effectiveness on the platform.We may depend upon it that if there is not to be loud war between the leaders there will none the less be plenty of strife in the constituencies.Disraeli had it that war is man\u2019s second nature, and in this country, as a usual thing, a general election ds as mear war as we get.The spirit of the man who found life no longer worth living because of an edict forbidding the wearing of arms, has not yet been quite evolutionized out of existence, and if a general election could be held without quarrels, heart-burnings, and disappointments there might almost as well be no election at all.We shall probably find that a party fight without great issues can be just as lively as one in which matters of contention of the first importance are held in full view.It is possible that a quarter century ot power and patronage has raised up enemies for the Government among its for- It would be odd if such were not the case.The late Mr.Fraser used to argue that an Administration would be better without the power of patronage.But, however the case may stand, it is no small tribute to the sincerity of the Liberal party that, in all its history, there have been mone of those divisions that have broken and almost shattered the ranks of the Conservatives.In the Ottawa Cabinet to-day there are four leading men who were at one time Conservatives.We have heard something of a nest of traitors.Between Mr.Clarke Wallace and his leader there yawns a gulf.We have heard mer friends.something of Mr.Dalton McCarthy's schism.The records of the Liberal party will be searched in vain for such cases.able to Mr.Whitney may ba induce men to enter this contest who will render him worthy assistance, bigger men than those from amongst whom he is now obliged to choose his lieutenants; but he will not be able to recruit them from the ranks of his opponents, and that in itself is no mean eri- tevion of the kind of rule Mr.Hardy and his colleagues have been giving the Province for so long a period.THE LONDON TIMES ON CANADA\u2019S GOLD FIELDS.The Canadian goldfields are commg 1m for & great deal of discussion in England.At meetings of various kinds, the Ontario, British.Columbia and Yukon districts are engaging attention.Lord Dufferin, who has become financially interested in an Engiisa company formea to purcnase and deveiop Canadian mines, has been teiling his co-directors about his trip to British Columbia and up the Alaska coast, when he was Governor-General.The Times of January 12th has an editorial article on \u201cThe Gold of Canada.\u201d Lord Strathcoma and Mount Royal has made the prediction that quite 150,000 persons will visit Canada on gold-hunting bent, in 1898; and there are other indications, including the prosecution of mining brokers for defrauding share purchasers, that attention in Britain is being fastened upon this quarter of the globe, ° The Times bases its article upon à paper read before the Colonial Institute by Mr.E.P.Rathbone, formerly inspector of mines for the Transvaal Republic, who vi\u201cited Western Ontario and British Col- um' in last summer ait the instance of some Etglisa capitalists.In his address Wir.Rathbone dealt comprehensively with the conditions.of mining in Canada, giving it as this opinicn that the Klondike will produce at least as much gold as was taken from Cariboo in the sixties, that there are still probably many deep level gravel beds in Cariboo as good as, or better than, those surface beds then worked at Williams Creek and elsewhere, and that the real strength of Canada\u2019s claim as a good field for mining operations, depends not so much upon the existence of these alluvial de- pciits, as upon the fact, of which he convinced himself, that the rock formations ère of tive right kind for profitable quartz mining.\u201cGold mining in this sense,\u201d the Times comments, \u201cis a new industry in Canada, dating only from about the year 1893, and its development will be watched with all the interest naturally awakened by the great possibilities it opens out.The search for alluvial gold may be carried on to a very considerable extent without leav- | ing any permanent mark upon the country.It does mot call for the investment of large capital or the erection of permanent plant.It can be and usually is carried on by a shifting population whose mushroom towns are deserted ae lightly as they were built it must speedily do even in the most favored spots.\u2018Tt is a different affair when men settle down upon a well-chosen reef to extract gold from the solid rock.It means extensive plant, large capital and permanent cffort.It results in the creation of organized communities making the place their home and forming the nucleus of agricultural \u2018and manufacturing organization.So carried on, gold mining is a pioneer industry Which opens up new provinces and may even call into being new States.\u201d One of the principal uses of the Klondike will be to attract the attention of gold- seekers to Canada\u2019s advantages in this line of permanent enterprise.TRADE WITH BRITAIN FOR DECEMBER.According to British Board of \u2018trade returns, there was a great increase in the bulk of trade with Canada for the month of December as compared with December, 1896.The goods received from Canada were to the value of £972,657, an increase of £303,- 341, or 45.32 per cent.The goods sold to Canada amounted to £253,750, an increase of £46,421, or 22.39 per cent.The principal items of increase in goods sent from Canada to Britain were for cattle, £16709; wheat, £85172; butter, £15,521 cheese, £109,526; eggs, £11,937; sawn wood, £88,518, Of goods bought from Great Britain the principal increases were for cotton piece goods, £22,318: linen piece gocds, £4,439; worsted fabrics, £18,558; £5,949, The total trade for the year 1897, between Canada and Great Britain, was £19,222,790, as against £16,245,063 for 1896, an advance of almost three millions sterling.\u2014 \u2014\u2014 earthen and china ware, The Toronto World is frank enough to say: \u201cAlthough we have in recent issues expressed the opinion, and still entertain it, that the British Government is seriously studying the problem of establishimg some sort of commercial federation between the component parts of the Empire, we are bound to admit that Mr.Ohamberlain\u2019s recent utterances concerning the affairs of the West Indies do not seem to countenance the idea that preferences are likely to be gramted in favor of oolomial products in the ports of the United Kingdom.\u201d \u201cToronto\u2019s new Court House

Legislature and Government building for the Province, caused a strue- ture that was calculated to cost $500,000, to actually cost $1,500,000.\u201d \u2014The Gazette.when the \u2018pay gravel\u2019

letter of the 20th inetamt, desiring an expression of my opinion about the preservation of Mount Royal Purk, I beg to say that whether elected or not, as representative of St.Lawrence ward, I shall do my utmost to prevent Mount Royal Park from being occupied by any persons or corporations for any sort of commercial enterprise.It would indeed be a great calamity, and in every way disgraceful, were that beautiful park given over to enterprises that would mar the quiet and beauty which now invest it with so much charm.I am delighted to know of the existence of your association, and am glad to observe that it is vigilant.I am sure that it vill have the cordial co-operation of every intelligent and patriotic citizen.\u201d ; Herbert B.Ames: \u201cIn reply to your circular desiring my support

definitely decided to retire from the contest.A story was etarted to the effect that Mr.Guuthier would be elected by acclamation owing to a decision on the part of Mr.Dufresne to follow Mr.Cas- grain\u2019s example, but Mr.Dufresne says there ig no truth in the report.He went into the contest, h® says, to stay in it until the close of the polls, and he has had nc reason to change his purpose since then.The supporters of Mr.Momn, candidate for Ald.McBride's seat in West ward, are doing a lot of hard work for their candidate.A meeting was held at 218 St.Jnmes list evening at which Mr.Mann

building | should cost only $500,000, when the plans were submitted, and before the Contracue were let, that figure was put out of mind.| The peculiarity of that building is that | every increase of its cost was authorized by vote of the Legislature before it was made and before any unprovided-for obligations were incurred.If Mowat-Hardy | lines are to be judged by the Parliament | Building, Then they have the approval of the Ontario Opposition, whidh has never | challenged this.The acuteness of that Op- | position to criticise other building expen- | ditures is seen in the great attention which has been given to the Humber piggery.MAYOR OF ST.LAMBERT.Mr.A.J.Whimby has been requested by a number of his fellow-citizens of St.Lambert to accept a nomination for Mayor of that town, the

vice-president, S.R.Wickett; treasurer, Warring Kennedy.The statement of assets and liabilities is as follows: \u2014Assets, Bracebridge debentures and accrued interest, $7,923.97; first mortgages, real estate and accrued interest, $19,753.48;

CANUTE MURDER TRIAL Interesting Evidence Was Given Yesterday, Some x Dectective MceVaskill Heard\u2014Defence Tries to Prove Intimidation, St.Scholastique, Jan.25.\u2014At the opening of the court yesterday Mr.Poirier drew attention to the fact that one of the Montreal newspapers had published on Sat- urdey two sketches represented as having been made by the prisoner in her cell.He protested against the impression being given to the public that the prisoner was employing her leisure in this way.While it would not affect the presemt trial, it might possibly have some effect on a future one, should, for any reeson, à new trial be had.These sketches could not have been obtained elsewhere than in the prisoner's house, and they were not given by her or with her permission; and their publication showed want of diligence \u2018on the part of the Crown guardian.The judge said that the jury were not allowed to see any newspapers, so there could have been no harm done, as far as any influence on their mind was concerned.It was the duty of the High Constable to see that the premises were properly guarded, and he would urge on that official the necessity of seeing that the guardians immediately in charge did theur duty.The first witness heard was Assistant Gaoler Groulx, who had heard some snatches of conversation between the prisoners while in durance vile, Mr.Poirier objected to evidence being received of statements made by the accused while laboring under intense excitement.He was prepared to prove that as the result of her interviews with the detective and others her mind was in such a condition that any statements by her couid not be considered made freely or voluntarily.He asked that before the present witness\u2019 examination be gone on with, he be allowed to put Coromer Mignault in the box to prove the condition of mind in which the accused was at the time the assistant gaoler heard the conversations referred to.Crown Prosecutor Mathieu said he only wanted to prove some words which passed between the prisoner and Sam Parslow when she did not know there was any witness near, and when there could have been no question of fear or compulsion.The court held that a conversation between the two accomplices was a different matter to confessions made to detectives.If later on it were proved that this conversation was the natural outcome of the confessions made to detectives, he might possibly make of them a reserve case, but in the meantime he had to overrule the objection.The assistant gaoler then swore that shortly after the arrest the accused called out, \u201cSam,\u201d and Parslaw replied, \u201cEh 7 The accused then said: \u201cSay I was not there and it.will be all night.\u201d The witness then went to the prisoners, and told them not to speak so any more.On another occasion he heard the accused say several times: \u201cKling, kling.They make me crazy, and then I will go out.\u201d A sister of the accused was then called, but her evidence was so contradictory to that given by her at the preliminary enquiry that very little value can be attached to it.After recess Detective McCaskill was called, and related his doings up to the moment when he obtained an avowal from the prisoner.Mr.Poirier then subjected him to very severe cross-examination in order to prove that any confession he may have obtained Was not given voluntarily, but es the result of menaces or threats or pressure equivalent to threats on the part of the defective.When the circumstances under which the confession was obtained are proved, them the question of the legality of its admission will be argued by the counsel.Mr.Poirier made a motion based on article 667 that the Crown witnesses be de tained in court in case that any of them shold be required by the defence.Judge Taschereau asked that the particular witnesses required be mamed, as the defence could not possibly want all of them, but on Mr, Poirier insisting that it was out of his power to name at present those he required, the motion was granted.Today Mr.McCaskill\u2019s examination was resumed, CONCERT AT ST.JAMES.This evening a concert will be given in St.James\u2019

UF HIS FRIEND.The Strange Experience of Dr, Brunelle ON SUNDAY EVENING, A Short Time After He Was Informed of His Death.Dr.Brunelle, 698 Sherbrooke street, had an experience on Sunday evening which seems to support the views of those who believe in telepathic communications.He was sitting in \u2018his study, when he heard a knock at his door.Thinking that it was his little son, he called out, without looking up from his book, Wihat do you want ?\u201d\u2019 The knock wwns repeated and the door opened, when, to the doctor's amazement there entered the room hie friend, Dr.Garceau, of Boston.\u201cHow did you get into the house?\u201d first asked Dr.Brunelle,\u2014for there had been no ringing at the hall door, and then rushed forward to grasp his friend\u2019s hand.As he did so the supposed visitor vanished completely, and Dr.Brunelle, on recovering somewhat from his astonishment, began to think himself the victim of am extraordinary hallucination.Half an hour wf- terwards o telephonic despatch reached him informing him of the death of his friend, Dr.Garceau, fn Boston.Dr.Brunelle expresses his views on the occurrence as follows: -\u201cI do not believe in apparitions.Learned men might perhaps attempt to explain this affair by the concurrence of fluids, magnetism, electricity or other forces of which the nature is, for us, still wrapped in mystery; as for me I do not refuse to believe that Providence may have acted here and have adopted thie method of making me believe in this class of phenomena.\u201d memes ess | NEWS 1 BR, | The Hom A.G.Blair,

presented his mew play, \u201cA Secret Warrant,\u201d at the Academy, and the manner in which This clever young Montrealer\u2019s latest dramatic work was received by the HOODOO 4 large audience showed clearly enough that: Mr.Tremayne is a man with a dramatic future.Not that Mr.Tremayre has quite come, as yet.He has a few theatrigal lessons to learn, a few melodramatic tendencies to eliminate, before his hand will reach its proper cunning.But \u201cA Secret Warrant\u2019 has in it the germ from which comes noble work.Mr.Maniell\u2019s absence from his company and the cause thereof has been so energetically advertised that further mention of the aator\u2019s purely domestic affairs wouid be superfluous.If he was absent in body, he was present in spirit.For Mr.Howard Hall has caught up Mr.Mantell\u2019s manner and mannerisms with much cleverness, Miss Minnie Radcliffe was almost the only member of her eumpany who spoke, and did not elocute, her lines.She redeemed a dubious part.Mr.Harry $t.Maur was an excellent Marquis de St.Victor.With the exception of the priggish Phillips, Duc d\u2019Orleans, the suppurt was commendable.During the performance there were re peated.and hearty bursts of applause.At the end of the third act, in response to the call for the author, Mr.Tremayne appeared before the curtain, end in a briet but happy little speech, thanked the audience for its appreciation.Theatre Francais.The performance at the Francais this week is excellent in every respect, and is a complete change to anything Mr.Phal- lips has presented this season.In Lotta'e celebrated play, \u201cPawn Ticket 210,\u201d Miss Roberts gives us another evidence of marked ability and wonderful versatility.1t is hard to believe that the sorrowing heroine of, say, for instance, \u201cLynwood\u201d and the happy romp, Mag, \u201cPawn Ticket 210,\u201d are played by the same artiste.But it is so, and her work throughout the evening was exceedingly enjoyable.Belasco, who wrote the play, might have had Mr.Townsend in his eye, so thoroughly did he prepare a part suited to the talent of that gentleman.Mr.Townsend's old pawnbroker is a eplendid character study.lt is true that it is the best male role in the piece, but this in mo way detracts from Mr.Townserd\u2019s work; it is thoughtfully and well done.Mr.McGrane\u2019s old villain was also very commendable.It showed much careful study.The return to the company of Mies Angus was the occasion of a warm reception to that young lady.She is a Montreal favorite, and will doubtless add laurels to those already won.The play is interesting throughout.It deals with the pawning of a child of the age of seven, and at the opening of the play she is seventeen.In order to save an old man, who turns out to be her father, she con#®nts to marry the pawnbroker, but he is killed; the villain is arrested, and it ends happily.It is full of bright comedy.The vaudeville is headed by Miss Gertrude Haynes, a phenomenally good organist, who plays upon a magnificent instrument built especially for her.Trick playing is also a feature of her performance.Her act is original, and delighted everybody.Madj Lessik is a wonderful gun manipulator, and Magee and Crim- mons tell funny stories, and wind up with a boxing match.It would be hard to find a more diversified programme, Quéen\u2019s Theatre.In \u201cCoon Hollow\u201d the Queen\u2019s has got a performance that is well worth going to see, for from start to finish there is \u2018scarcely a dull moment.The dancing is good, and the songs have the right ring to them.The dances by Misses Asher, Jones ang Gordon were well received.The steamboat scene, the cotton press tragedy, all tend to make up one of the finest shows of the season, and should draw crowded houses all week.The Royal, Phil Sheridan\u2019s \u201cCity Sports\u201d drew the bumper house of the season at the Royal last night, and this has been a season of big houses.A burly policeman standing at the door announced quite early in the evening that there was room for no more, and many turned away disappointed.There are a few features in the show which it would do no harm to eliminate, but then there are other stage novelties which more than make amends.One of these is the high and broad jumping exhibition.Mr.Baker, who, it seems, is within his rights in claiming the championship of the world; is a very neat athlete, and his dhallenge to meet anyone is mot likely to be accepted in Montreal.Edward Woods, the boy preacher, gives a neat exhibition.A match has been arranged between him and an unknown, to be produced by Tom Boyle.It will take place at the Royal on Thursday evening.\u201cDOROTHY\u201d GIFTS.After the curtain had rung down finally on the last performance of \u201cDorothy\u201d Saturday night there was a pleasant little scene on the stage before the \u201ccompany\u201d disbanded.Mr.Bell, who go efficiently acted as stage manager, was presented with a handsome silver-mounted dressing case, Mr.Henders making m neat speech in doing so.Professor Goulet received a travelling bag, also eilvermounted, Mr.Giiles making the presentation.Both gifts kad suitable inscriptions, amd were acknowledged by the recipients dn brief speeches.HAD TO PAY UP.Yesterday mornify Judge Bourgeois gave judgment in the case of C.A.Barnard, advocate, vs.And.A.MacDonald, of St.Johns.The judgment went in favor of the plaintiff for $4,049.47.The suit was based upon a claim which had been trams ferred to the plaintiff by the Comte Chas.de Bouthillieir Chavigny, who had secured it through his sale of the pottery at St.Johns owned by the defendants to a French syndicate.The amount claimed had originally been $10,000, but Chavigny admitted having been paid the difference between the total amount and the figure of the judgment.MR.CLARKE'S RECITAL.Mr.Edouard Clarke, the blind pianist, gave a concert in the hall of St.Mary\u2019 College Ist evening, which was well at-' tended.Mr.Clarke\u2019s selections were taken chiefly from the old masters, but the modern school was mot forgotten, some of Ohopin\u2019s and Liszt's beautiful compositions being rendered with marked effect.The Bhapsodie Hongroise No.12 was one of Mr.Clarke\u2019s best efforts.The choir of the Church of the Gesu added not a littla&o the concert which was a great success, and a deserved tribute to the beneficiaire, VICTUALLERS HAVE A BANQUET.Their Annual Gathering Was Held Last Night, WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.Prominent Members of Parliament Were Among the Guests.The Licensed Victuallers\u2019 Association of Montreal, having decided to have a banquet, which is hereafter to be an annual affair, went at it in their usual manner and made a great success of it.The Queen\u2019s Hotel was chosen as the scene of the social function of the association and the success of the event showed the wis dom of the choice.The pretty dining room of the hotel was decorated with flags and bunting and multicolored electric lights which formed a brilliant star in the middle of the ceiling.The dinner itself was one of the best and served in excellent fashion.During the progress of the dinner, the orchestra played a number of selections from favorite operas.President Henri Dubois was chairman of the evening and round him were grouped the guests of the association, among whom were: Mayor-elect Prefontaine, Hon.J.E.Robidoux, Hon.Horace Archambault, Hon.T.C.Casgrain, Messrs.R.Lemieux, M.P.; C.Beausoleil, M.P.; J.G.H.Ber- geron, M.P.; L.A.Chauvin, M.P.; Thos.Fortin, M.P.; J.O.Pelland, M.P.; H.B.Rainville, M.P.; F.D.Monk, M.P.; J.A.C.Madore, M.P.; H.Dupre, M.P.; C.A.Chenevert, M.P.; Lomer Gouin, M.L.A.; P.E.Leblanc, M.L.A.; Dr.Lalonde, M.L.A.; Major Desjardins, of Maisonneuve; Lieut.-Col.Hughes, James Haverson, of Toronto; H.R.Ibbotson, J.N.Greenshieds, A.T.Lynch, E.N.St.Jean, C.Robillard.Letters of regret at absence were received from the Governor-General, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and a number of other prominent gentlemen who found it impossible to be present.When the good things prepared by the manager of the Queen\u2019s had been partaken of, Mr.Henri Dubois, the president of the Association, rose and amidst great cheeering proposed: the toast of the Queen, and after it, that of the Governor-Gen- eral, both of whidy were given musical honors.The chairman then called on Messrs.Ethier and Lawrence Wilson to propose the next toast, that of the Federal Parliament.Mr.Wilson congratulated the association on the success of the banquet.After a few words on the objects of the association he took up the question of prohibition.If a prohibitory law were passed, it would require an army of men from the Atlantic to the Pacific to enforce the law and even then smuggling would be carried | on to a very great extent.But such a law would not be passed; he had faith in the members of the Federal Parliament.Mr.J.G.H.Bergeron, M.P., responded from the Federal Parliament.Each time that prohibition had come pp he had voted against it\u2014not that he was against temperance; but against a prohibitory law.The Licensed Victuallers\u2019 did their business in accord with the laws, and he was sure, worked for the advancement of the Province of Quebec and of Canada.Messrs.F.D.Monk, M.P.; L.A.Chauvin, M.P.; T.C.Cas- grain, M.P.; R.Lemieux, M.P.; and H.Dupre, M.P.; also replied to this toast in a very happy strain.Mr.Casgrain introduced the question of revenue in case of prohibition and said that in the Province of Quebec alone $400,000 would have to be raised by direct taxation.Dr.Lanctot proposed the health of the Provincial Government which was responded to by Hon.Messrs.Robidoux amd Ar- chambault, and Messrs.Lomer Gouin, M.L.A.; P.E.Leblanc, M.L.A.; C.A.Chennert, M.P.; and Dr.Lalonde, all of whom were very happy in their remarks.The next toast was the City of Montreal which was proposed by Mr.J.D.Pelland, M.P.Alderman Prefontaine responded.BUILT HIS OWN COFFIN.Carleton Place, Jan.25\u2014James Me- Pwen, who hms just died in Beckwith Township, aged 84, was a public benefactor in more ways than one.When friends died it was he who fashioned the coffins in which, their remains were laid to rest.À score or more coffins were constructed by him.Some time ago his hands, which had fashioned many coffins for friends, turmed to work in his own behalf, and he built this with superior care.It lay in an outbuilding until the other day, when it was brought into requisition for the object with which it was com structed.CHARGED WITH CHILD THEFT.Toronto, Jan.25.\u2014The name of Mrs.Elizabeth Osborne, was on the Police Court calendar yesterday, the charge being that she had abducted a little Hebrew girl, named Levinski for the purpose of sending her with a theatrical company.The case was set for the 27th.Mrs.Osborne says she has a large family of her own and never dreamed of abducting other people\u2019s children.The girl, in question, she alleges, came to her place with a story of cruelty, and remained there until her parents claimed her.ABBE VILLENEUVE ILL, Rev.Abbe Villeneuve, whio returned from Europe last September, is dangerously ill at the Hospice Auclair, suffering from paralysis, and fears are emtertained for his recovery.He is in his sixtieth year.The Abbe is the author of the \u201cComedie Infernale,\u201d a book which created a furore some years ago.He lived for a number of years in Europe, but previous to going there had been parish priest of Albany.TO DISCUSS FREIGHT RATES.Mr.A.H.Harris, general mamager of the Government Railway System, left yesterday for the Lower Provinces.He will stop at Moncton, N.B., on his way to Halifaz

championship match in the Cornwalk Brockville tie of the senior series of the Ontario Hockey Association was played here last night, between the local seven and the St.Lawrences of Brockville.lhe match was fast, and interesting one erlivened by brilliant individual play, and hard checking.The visitors were a trifle heavier than the locals, and used this advantage to good effect.The mateh could not be called a rough one although Butler, of the St.Lawrences, was ruled off three times, and Masterson, of Cornwall, once.In the first half Brockville scored after about five minutes play, and almost immediately tallied again, but were called back for an offside.\u2018Then the Cornwall forwards took a hand in the game, and urache several dangerous rushes, whidh resulted in two goals, the last of which was disallowed, for an offside.Tlils evened the score but in spite of all their efforts nelilier team coulu break the tle in tails ball, yen the second haif had been in pro- giesd about ten minutes the Brockvilie ror- wares rusined the rubber down the ice, and « Serininage resulted in front oc the Cora- vals\u2019 goals.Out of this Conmell emerged, and his shot scored the deciding game.Cornwall made desperate efforts to even the score, and during the balance of the Iveif had things ail their own way, but the inability of the forwards to shoot nullified all their hard wordk.The Brockville tean hock thelr goals, and time was called vith the score two to one, in favor of the &t.Luwrences.Following are the teams and the officials: Cornwall, Position.St.Lawrence.Peacock.oo

3lst inst, but at is doubtful whether it will be played then.Brockviile has no covered rink, as re- «ired by the rules of the O.H.A., and an ¢Tort will be made to have the game jlayed din the

College Street men winning by 9 goals to 7, the score at half-time being 5 to 3.Although winning this game, the T.A.C.is oat of tle race for the season.Peterboro had a lead of ten goals from the last game, and the Athletics could not catch up.The game was a good exhibition as well as fast and interesting to watch.There was again trouble over the goal umpires, and both were changed, in fact, two of the visitors\u2019 goals looked like gifts from Umpire Mackenzie.The battle was commenced by Chadwick scoring for the T.A.C after a pretty rush, which he often repeated during the game.From this out, the game was fast and furious, and marked by many brilliant plays on the pact of both teams, as well as by some good combination work.During the first ha!f Davidson was ruled off for tripping, and in the second half Bellyhem was also given a rest for the same offence.Gill coll'ded with Handisty and was laid off for five minutes, when he again resumed work.Phelan, King and Wasson did the best for the visitors, while Young, Chadwick and Hardisty did good work for the T.A.C.WHY THE WINNIPEG VICS ARE NOT COMING BAST.Winnipeg Free Press\u2014The Victoria Hockey club have decided not to send a team

serious meeting of the executive committee.The publie of Winnipeg will, no doubt, be disappointed, as well they have cause to be, but the decision is said to be final.In the past the citizens have generally put their hands in their pockets and subseribed the necessary amount to defray the expenses of the team, and no doubt they would be willing to do the same again if there was a prospect of regaining the hockey championship of the world.The committee upon sizing up the situation, have considered it the wisest move on the part of the Victorias to remain at home for another year at least.Two reasons have driven them to this decision.The first is, that a team, such as would be considered good enough to win the Stanley Cup, cannot be got together, although the material is in the club; and in the second place, should they decide to send the team they can get together, it would not be able to get into shape.McCREADY\u2019S TEAM WON.There was quite an exciting game of nockey in

Time He Had Showing Englishmen How to Ride.New York, Jan.25.\u2014Tod Sloane is home again.The little American jockey, who went to England last fall, and who was despised by the wiseacres of the English turf, has returned laden with the highest and best honors\u2014the hcnors bestowed on \u2018him by the men who were opposed to him and who condemmed him until his riding commanded not only their approval, but their praise.Todd was a passenger on the steamship Campania, which arrived in New York Sunday.Two or three aatresses, half a dozen newspaper men, and as many per- | sonal friends greeted him as he walked down.the gang-plank.The little lad who compelled the \u2018hostile Englishmen to believe that the Americans nct only knew something, but a great deal, about jockeying was as quiet and modest as when he started for England several months ago.Irom the steamer Sloane went to ine Hotel Imperial, where he expects to remain for a couple of days before starting for San Francisco, where he will ride until spring.\u201cI had a very good time on the other side,\u201d the midget said in reply to a question as to his experience in England.\u201cThey treated me very well over there,\u201d he continued, \u2018\u201cexcept that I thought 1 won my first race with St.Cloud, and I still think so.The best justification I can have for this opinion is the criticism of some of the leading turf critics in England, who with me believe that I won the race.\u201cBut I am willing to take all the for tunes of racing; and this is one of them.I am willing to let my record of winning mounts in England talk for itself.My percentage was better than that of any jockey ever born on the other side.\u201cDespite my success in England, I still believe America is the best country in the world, and I know I can make more money here than on the other side.I have no idea of breaking away from my engagement with the Fleischmanns, and will ride for them next season.\u201d YESTERDAY\u2019S BILL AT OTTAWA.Ottawa, Jan.25.\u2014An.unfinished and three-minute race was the bill promised by the C.C.Turf Club yesterday afternoon.Only a small crowd was present, and the sport was timid.In the fifth heat of the \u2018\u2018named\u201d race Sable Noir and Bob Grant came under the wire together, and the heat was given to Grant, to the dis- Meas lan.a dn a ttm mn satisfaction

horseman\u2019s fears prove well founded, it does not follow, however, that Hamburg will be a losing investment.Mr.Daly is quoted as saying to a reporter of an evening paper: \u201cHamburg\u2019s forelegs were not sound at the close of last season\u2019s racing.If he stands the training this year, he should capture some of the rich 3-year-old stakes.Should he break down, however, he will be

meeting to be \u2018held in the Monument National Hall, Tuesday, Jan.25, at 8 p.m.Some prominent speakers and several aldermen elect have acceptad their invitation to attend and address the n.eeting.The majority of civic fathers are in favor of granting the requests of this movement, which are reduction of tax, regulation of speed, regulation of watering ard cleaning of streets, and enforcement of by-law preventing throwing of nails, glass, etc., on streets.It it also the intention of committee to work with aldermen in sopping the rowdyism that has been displayed by so many \u201cscorchers\u2019\u201d on the leading streets, and which thas been to the serious detriment of cyclists being classed as anything but a class that were to be al- Inwed to use the streets only on suffrance.It is anticipated that much good may re- sut from the co-operation of wheelmen with civie authorities, and it is earnestly roped that every cyclist that has the interest of wheeling af heart

Buffalo.Buffalo, N.Y., Jan.25.\u2014Shortly before three o'clock Eastern League directors came out of executive session, and President Powers announced that the only business of interest transacted was the ratification of ithe sale of the Scranton franchise to Charles D.White, who will place a team in Rochester.Shortly after four o'clock the conference between the Eastern and Western League delegates was called to onder.At this meeting it was agreed to make a salary limit of $2,000 per month for a team.In case the manager is a player these figures may be increased to $2,125.It was decided to petition tha National League not to adopt the proposed amendment to the drafting resolution, which provides that a National League Club may have thinty days in which to try a player before finally accepting him.There was some discussion as to the drafting of players by the National League im the interest of minor leagties, which have not the authority to draft, but no ac- {tion was taken.At the conclusion of the joint meeting another session of the Eastern League directors was held.As the managers of the Wilkesbarre Club showed conclusively that it was financially able to maintain its position in the League, it was decided to continue as an eight-club league with Springfield, Providence, Wilkesbarre, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Toronto and Montreal.Judging from ithe promptness with which the business was conducted, there was very little, if any, friction.Many of the delegates left the city to-might.THE ST.HYACINTHE TEAM.St.Hyacinthe, Jan.25.\u2014A meeting of the

was decided that the team should be run under the management of the Cercle Montcalm.They will purchase a ground 400 feet by 300, and build a large grand stand, and expect to have everything completed for May.There will be a few changes in the team from last year.ROWING and SAILING.MAY BE LAST OF GOELET CUPS.These Time-Honored and Important Yacht Races Probably Hnded.New York, Jan.#.\u2014~The fear is expressed by officers and leading members of the New York Yacht Club that the death of Ogden Goelet will cause the permanent suspension of the world famed yacht races named for him that have been sailed off Newport, R.I., for sixteen years during the club\u2019s August cruise.Mr.Goe- let made no provision in his will, it is said for the continuance of the prizes that he annually offered, and if the executors of the estate or the heirs do not take up the matter and favorably consider it, the last of the interesting contests have been sailed.Since 1882 these races have been the feature of the yachting year, excepting, of course, the periodical battles for the America\u2019s Cup, but even then the club's champions for the defence of the latter have invariably taken part in the annual struggles off Newport as one of the trials necessary before meeting their foreign foe.Owners, skippers and crew alike have sought to win a Goelet cup.Yachtsmen everywhere took the deepest interest in the struggles.Thousands from the decks of steam and sail yachts, excursion steamboats and working vessels viewed them.Newport Harbor, with its picturesque shores, and the fleet around Brenton's Reef Lightship, presented pictures year after year of unequalled beauty.There was a charm for society about the race that never failed, except in the worst possible weather.It was the contest that made Newport the cynosure of all eyes in the yachting and social worlds.The history of the races for the Goelet cups is the history of maval architecture to a great extent as applied to yacht building for the time.Veterans of the sport will recall the many stubborn fights for the trophies.They will readily become reminiscent, and tell you of baftles between sloops on the one hand, and between schooners on the other, that make the most exciting nautical yarns.They will tell you of almost fortunes being spent by owners hoping to win one of these blue ribbons of the yachting season, and when failure after failure caused the effort to seem almost hopeless, that success finally crowned their efforts.No series of races ever instituted, in fact, have been marked by more earnest rivalry, and should they now cease there must be a positive blank in the yachting seasons to come, \u2014 BRITANNIA AGAIN SOLD.London, Jan.25.\u2014Mr.John Lawson Johnstone, of Kingwood, Kent, has sold the racing cutter

Edward Joblin, one of the oldest residents of the town died, aged 86.He came to Canada from England sixty-one ago, locating in Brockville and has lived here ever since.He was a builder by trade, and was connected with the construction of most of the municipal buildings in town.He was never married, and left about $45,000, of which he bequeathed $5,000 to Brock- ville Gencral Hospital, and $1,000 to Trinity church, $500 each to St.Paul's and St.Peter\u2019s churches, $1,000 to Mrs.Alex.Heath, $200 to Hon.John F.Wood, $500 to John D.Warwick, and $100 each to the three daughters of the late George \".Powell.Deceased also held mortgages against L.Black, Brockville, $300, and Mrs, Haisley, Elizabethtown, both of which are released by the terms of the will.The balance of the estate about $35,000 goes to a niece and three nephews in England.a THE PRESBYTERIAN REVIEW, Editor of The Herald : Sir,\u2014I understand that efforts are being made by the publisher of the Presbyterian Review, of Toronto, to induce the Presbyterians of Montreal and district to pledge support sufficient to justify the establishment in this city of an office from which the Review could be issued simultaneously with its issue in Toronto.Now, sir, I, as a Presbyterian, thoroughly recognize the advantage of having a paper representative of the interests ot Presbyterianism in this city, but I fail to see why we should be indebted to Toronto for such an organ, since, to a moral certainty, we should only rank second in respect to the attention that would be given to our interests, in such a publication.Moreover, Mr.T.R.Clougher, the publisher of the Review, while, no doubt, an excellent man, is not a Presbyterian, but is prominently identified with the Anglican Church, and publishes the organ of that Chur¢h\u2014\u2018 \u2018The Church Evangeliat,\u201d\u2014if 1 mistake not.For this reason, and without, I hope, displaying any particular lack of Christian charity, I do not think him the best conceivaible person to publish a Presbyterian paper.Hence, I cannot help expressing the hope that, if a Presbyterian organ is desirable in Montreal\u2014and I decidedly think it is\u2014 we ought to be able to find a Presbyterian publisher to issue it in this city, and have its contents especially dealing with the in- fterests of Presbyterianism in this city and Province.Yours ete.,

the kill to be filed by the \"PRODUCE MARKET.A Rather Discouraging Outlook fo Oheese and Butter.: The cheese market still plods along in pretty much the same groove, the demand {from the other side amounting to very little, while as usual holders kdep firm in their ideas.It is extremely doubtful if buyers would go above 84c for the finest cheese in the markjet, whereas dvoldens are still asking the prices we dave been quoting right along.There is very little export enquiry for butter, as the markets on the other side are in generally pretty poor shape.The outside idea for finest is 18}, and Western dairy rolls are quoted at l4c.The demand for eggs today in small lot® was somewhat better and a fair trade was done.The tone of the market was about steady and prices show no further change.We quote fresh stock, 22¢ to 23c; Montreal limed, 150 am] western limed, 12 1-2¢ to 13c¢ per dozen.There was a steadier tone to the market for dressed hogs to-day owing to an improved demand and smaller receipts.In a jobbing way a fair trade was done at $6.60 to $6.75 for light and at $6.40 to $6.50 for heavy per 100 lbs, MONTREAL SPECULATORS Make Money in Manhattan in the Wall Street Market.Something About Geo.Gould's Action Towards the Stocks.Montreal speculators have made money in two of Wall Street's stocks, Manhattan and Metropolitan Traction.The latter have proved the most profitable but interest in the other is still very keen, and the following statement made by a gentleman connected with Metroplitan Street Ry.will be read with interest: \u201cThe important move on the local chess board at present is the letter Gould to the Rapid Transit Commissioners.We are all anxious to know what he has said because upon his actions rest the issues of rapid transit for this city in the mext year or two.What he has said to the Commissioners he will not divulge on the ground that it is for the Commissioners to say what the public shall know.There is no doubt that Mr.Gould has every opportunity which an official of a great company like Manhattan can want to make the plant serve the purposes for which a great city like New York needs it.Under these circumstances Manhattan has in it very great possibilities and upon the judicious use of them depends the future value of Manhattan stock.It looks at the present as if Manhattan were speculatively considered a good purchase.Mr.Gould certainly has with him the active co-operation of those public interests which are needful in the extension of local enterprises.\u201d PRODUCE SHIPMENTS.Cheese Exports Are Still a Little Ahoad of Last Year.The shipments of cheese from Montreal last week were only half of what they were the same week a year ago, but since the closing of navigation the shipments this vear are still a few thousand boxes ahead.Butter shipments of late have also been small, but, like cheese, they exceed the total of last year.The comparative figures are as follows :\u2014

now asking 55c for car lots of No.2 white, north and west, and prices are getting above an export basis.Speculators, however, are buying.A round lot of blue peas offered at a British port at equal to 52¢, north and west, but was not taken.Speculators are, however, bidding 53c west and 54c east.Locally, the situation is very strong, and the latest quotations were 63¢c to 65c afloat May

Prices Are Cabled a Little Easier from Liverpool.Cable from Woodall & Co., to Eben James, say that 3,000 barrels sold; market slow and prices about 2s easier.It is believed, however, that this decline is only temporary, and is caused by the recent heavy arrivals, Carthaginian, from Portland, on 28th instant, and Grecian, on Ist February, for Glasgow.FIFTEEN CUPS OF TEA FREE.: Arrangemients have been made with about 200 grocers in Montreal to redeem the coupon which will appear im Joseph Tetley & Co\u2019s ad.in next Saturday's Star.This coupon will entitle the holder ta one cent in cash, to

Trade.\u2018Wheat again reached the dollar mark in Chicago this moming, but it only stayed there for a moment.The market for cash was erratic, almost wild.There was a jump of 5} cents a bushel within a comparatively short time, and after the top figure was reached there was an immediate slump of 3 cents.The excitement, however, was mainly confined to January, though the feeling both in May and July was bullish.January closed last night at 95, and opened at 943.There was a eteady gain after that to the dollar mark, with a subsequent slump to 07.The starting point for May wheat was 934, and the tone was firm all morning, the price at 12.30 being 933.July wheat at the same time was quoted at 84%.Second cables on wheat were quoted steady, at a decline of 3 The estimated receipts of hogs in

business has been done up west at steady figures.Ontario wheat has changed hands up west at equal to about 95c to 96c here, and Manitoba wheat on private terms.Oats are a little firmer if anything, at 28§c in store, and buck wiheat 18 quoted at 363c to 37c.The tome of the market is strong and in view of the continued advance in wheat, holders are inclined to ask better prices.Values are as follows:\u2014Winter wheat patents, $4.60 to $4.85; straight rollers, $4.25 to $4.30; bags, $2.05 to $2.10; best Manitoba strong bakers\u2019, $4.90; second do., $4.50; and low grades, $2.70; Hungarian patents, $5.30.A firmer feeling prevailed in the meal market in sympathy with oats and an advance in prices is anticipated daily.The demand as yet does mot show much improvement, and business is still quiet.We quote:\u2014Rolled oats, $3.40 per barvel, and $1.65 per bag; standard meal, $3.25 per barrel, and $1.574 per bag.There continues to be an active demand for feed and as supplies are light the tone of the market is very firm, with prices tending upward.We quote:\u2014Ontario \u2018bras, $12; shorts, $13 per ton in bulk.Manitoba bram, $13.50 to $14, and shorts, $15 to $16 per ton, including bags.Business in hay to-day was slow and the market is quiet with no change in values to mote.We quote No.1 at $10.50 and No.2 at $8 to $8.50 per ton, in car lots, ADVANCE IN CATTLE Canadians Are Up Half a Cent in England, But Even Then There is Little Money to be Made.There was an advance in the price of Canadian cattle in England yesterday, but even with that shippers say they are not able to clear any money.The advance means about half a cent 2 pound, a London cable saying :\u2014\u201cOwing to shorter supplies of cattle and an improved demand there was a stronger feeling in the market, and prices show an advance of 3c since last week for both American and Canadian, while Argentine stock wag firm.Choice States sold at 114c: Canadians at 10jc; and Argentine at 10c.The market for sheep was weaker, and prices declined 3c, choice Argentine selling at 113c.\u201d \u201cThe Local Market., The offerings at the Fast End abattoir Included about 700 head of cattle, 50 sheep, 50 lambs and about the same number of calves.The supply was again large, consisting chiefly of common to fair stock, and as there was only a limited demand a large number were left over unsold, mot- withstanding the fact that holders of the same were disposed to accept lower figures.In order to sell out.Good to choice cattle were only in fair supply, for which the demand was good, and prices were Fully.sustained.Ome holder .of a choice load asked ae high as 4c, but it is doubtful he realized this figure.One or two shippers were looking around, but did mot operate, for they say although the markets abroad have improved, still present prices: will not warrant them paying the figures | asked here for choice stock.A few really choice beeves sold at 4kc to 4c; good, 3ic to dhe; fair, 3c to 3ic; common, 2}c to 23c; and inferior, 2e per lb, live weight, There 18 à good demand for sheep for export on account \"6f the recent sharp advance in foreign markets, and at present prices they would make considerable money.The re- ceïpts here are very small, and prices firm at 310 \u2018to 38c per Ib.Lambs met with an active demand at 4ke to 42c per lb.Calves sold at $8 to $11 each for good, and at $2 to $6 for others.RECENT LOAN COMPANY FAILURES.An Agitation Started in Toronto for an Investigation.Toronto, Ont., Jan.25\u2014The World is advocating an investigation into the circumstances of the recent failures of two land and loan companies.It says to-day : \u2014\u201cA mere winding-up of the Farmers\u2019 Loan Company, and of the Toronto Financial Corporation will nat satisfy the public.It is in the interest of all the other companies organized under the Ontario law that the investigation be made.They are more or less suspected, and, we believe, unfairly, because these two have \u2018been engaged in wrong practices.It is in the interest of ithe public that the investigation be held, in order that proper safe- guands be thrown about people doing business with these companies.It is not just to the loan companies, it is not just to the public, that a full and searching investigation be delayed.And especially ought the public men who have been asso- icalted with these ventures insist on a thorough investigation.No other corporation of any kind, whatsoever, can afford *o carry on its board men who have been as sociated with these companies until such an investigation has been made.Responsibility must go with a man\u2019s name.\u201d MONTREAL STOCK EXCHANGE Canada Colored Cotton Co.| 60 543] 60 35 Do do.Bonds| 99 96 98 964 Dominion Cotton Co.xd.97

limbs seem commonly liable to accidents.Cases of stags dying with interlocked antlers are recorded from time to time, and Buckland gives an account of a curious accident which befell a big stag in Windsor Forest.The poor beast had been standing on its hind legs to nibble leaves from a thorn- tree, and caught its hoof in a fork in the trunk.This threw it on its back, and Though red deer are in this country mainly found wild on mountainous ground, we much doubt if they are reallly a mountain species or specially clever on rocky ground.Mr.J.G.Millais mentions one pass where the bones of deer that have missed their footing and fallen down the crags may frequently be seen.Broken limbs are very common, even among park stags, generally due to fights in the rutting time.This must usually lead to the death ot deer in all districts where large carnivora are found; but the astonishing way in which broken fbones, or even worse injuries received by wild animals, cure themselves if the creature is let alone, shows that the most serious accidents meed not lead to death, even if left to nature.The most striking of recent instances is the case of a doe antelope at Leonardslee, which smashed its hind leg high up, and 80 badly that the bone protruded.It would have been shot, but it was observed to be feeding, as if not in pain.It survived the winter, and was seen to swing the injured leg forward to scratch its ear before the bone get.The fracture reduced itself, and the cut skin grew over the place, leaving a scar.Later, though lame, it was perfectly well, and reared a young one, A tiger, recently killed in the hot weather, had a bullet wound a week old which had smashed its shoulder.This ound, though a very bad one, was perfectly healthy and there was evidence that since it was inflicted the tiger had eaten no flesh, but only drunk water.In the Waterloo cup coursing in 1886 \u201cMiss Glen- dyne\u201d and \u201cthe runner-up\u201d for the cup were slipped at a hare which went wild and strong.When killed after a good course by the two crack greyhounds, it wae found to have only three feet.This may be compared with the accounts of a collie dog, recently quoted in the papers, which had one forefoot and ome hind foot cut off by a reaping machine, but which still manages to help with the flock.Dogs, which ought to be little liable to acci- denty, are very frequent sufferers, largely from their association with man and intense desire to participate in all hig doings.One of their commonest mishaps arises from their love of riding in carts.| They become quite clever at scrambling or jumping in, but are not \u201cbuilt\u201d for jump- mg down on to a hard road.If the cart moves as they make their spring the danger is increased, and forelegs broken, usually just below the shoulder, are very commonly seen.Dogs also have dangerous falls when on he ground, accidents usually ascribed only to bipeds and hordes.A greyhound going at full speed will trip, fly head over heels, and break a leg, or even its neck.\u201cMaster Magrath,\u201d in 1870, went through the rotten ice of the River Alt, from which Altear takes its name, while following the hare, and nearly died from the effects.But the strangest mishap which the writer has ever seen fall to the lot of a dog was the case of a setter which tripped over a sitting hare.The dog, a large, heavy animal, was ranging at high speed in a field of thinly-planted mangolds.As it passed between the rows its hind feet struck something, and it nearly tumed a somersault.The object was a squatting hare, which, as the dog flew over in one direction, quietly scuttled off in the other.\u2014London Spectator.Mr.R.A.B.Greenshields returned from Ottawa last night.Hon.N.C.Cormeir, of Plessisville, ig a guest at
