MONDAY, JANUARY 31, 1808.PRICE ONE CENT.MR, PREFORSSMES co ALDERMANIC = 04 NT The Mayor Will Rule as Well as Reign SPENDING COMMITTEES, .mort [2 Roads Committee Fixed Up in a Beautiful Way Those excellent citizens of Montreal who flattered themselves that Mr, Prefon- toine was leaving \u2018the sphere of active civic politics, retiring through the portals opened to him by the mayoralty, would probably have their eyes opened if they had been in a position to overhear all the armangements that have been made for the government of the Council next year.When Mr.Prefontaine\u2019s retirement was announced, Ald.Beausoleil, as being, with Ald.Rainville, the next strongest personal force in the Council, was looked upon as his successor, Ald.Rainville being supposedly wedded to the Finance Commuit- tee.But Ald.Beausoleil has been made to soe that this arrangement does not tally with the intentions of the powers that be, and he is now engaged in a struggle equal to that of any three or four of the others.A private meeting was held not many days ago, after the campaign had got well under way, and just before the @&:malgama- tion of committees was decided) upon by Council, and a slate was formed which has several peculiarities.Ald.Rainville gets the chairmanship of the Finance, as was to be expected; his colleagues are to be Ald.McBride, Connaughton, Sadler, Beausoleil, Jacques and Dufresne.Of the Road Committee, Ald.Brunet is to be chairman, his slate for colleagues being Ald.Dupre, Wilson, Prenoveau, Turner, Kinsella and Cochrane, a com- auittee framed after Mr.Prefontaine\u2019s own fheart.Membership on the Finance or Roads Committee is held to be as good as a chairmanship of one of the other ommit- tees, and, the two main committees having been formed, the other chaimnanships are apportioned as follows:\u2014 Water-Aid.Mortineau.Fine \u2014Aild.Laporte.Parks and Ferries\u2014Ald.Ames, Mount Royal Park\u2014Ald.'Bkers, Light\u2014Ald.Archambault, \u2018Markets\u2014Ald.Larue.Police\u2014Ald.Grothe.!¢ Health\u2014Ald.Ouimet.City Hall\u2014Ald, Paquette Scme changes will, of course, have to be made in the slate, now that.the City Hell, Light and Mount Royal Park Committees 'have been wiped out, \u2018but this will only exclude Ald.Archambault, who will doubtless get something equally as good, and Ald.Paquette and Fkers, who have not yet sat in Council.1t will be noticed that a dexterous attempt has been made to propitiate the better elements by promises of chairmanships.Ald.Laporte, Martineau, Ames and Fkers are all thus provided for, and wifle as regards these gentlemen, there may be changes expected when the selections come to be actually made, the present slate is certainly highly instructive.The most extraordinary eir- cumstance of all is the self-sacrifice of the old members of the Council, who give the chairmanships to the new mem.Martineau has not been in Council for more than three months, but he gets the Water Committee.Ald.Laporte has been there a year and gets the Fire Committee (the slate, by the way, provides for the election of Ald.Thompson in place of Ald.Stevenson).Ald.Lareau has just \u2018been elected by acclamation for St.Mary's Ward, and is given the Market Gommit- tee.Messrs.Ames, Kkers and Paquette all become chairmen as soon as they enter the Council.Mr.Gagnon is quietly shoved off on the same committee qvith Mr.Ames.From all of which it appears that to be a member of the Roads or Finance Committees is better than to be chairman of one of the others, a sentiment in which there is a general disposition to agree.If the right men are elected to-morrow they can make fragments of this slate.Two good men on the Roads Committee would be worth thousands, possibly mil lions, of dollars to the city in the next two years; but they must first be elected, DR- GRANT WILL \u2018NOT DEBATE AGAIN, - He Considers That He Has Done His Duty.Kingston, Jan.31.\u2014 (Special.) \u2014 Dr.Grant says he will consider no more challenges to debate the prohibition question.He thinks he has done his duty as a citizen by ventilating his views in the press and giving two nights in the heaviest part of the college session to a public debate ot the issues.His views are before the country for comment and criticism, eee WINNIPEG\u2019S GARBAGE, The City Engineer in Montreal to Have a Look Around, \u2014\u2014\u2014 Lieut.-Col.H.N.Ruttan Ald.study of the different means of disposing of garbage and of pumping water from ar.tesian wells.The Prairie Capital is grappling with these two civic problems, and Col.Ruttan will make recommendations when he returns home.Speaking of the destruction of garbage to The Herald, Col.Ruttan said that Montreal was the only city in America that disposes of its gaifbage without using coal.Here the garbage burns itself, whidh is much more economical than : in other cities, where coal is used.\u201cil Mr.Dore,\u201d said Col.Ruttan, \u201cis allowed to work out his present plans, he will still further improve his system and make it still cheaper.\u201d Winnipeg is changing its water works system, and has decided to draw its water hereafter from artesian wells.Every such well sunk thus far in the vicinity of the city has furnished an inexhaustible flow of clear water.Col.Ruttan is in command of the 90'h Battalion of Winnipeg\u2014the \u201cLittle Black Devils\u201d\u2014who made themselves so famous in the last Riel rebellion.In 1886, by a popular vote conducted in Montreal, the 90th Battalion was awarded a handsome punch \u2018bowl, having been voted the most popular volunteer corps in Canada.LOOKS WELL FOR HARDY, Liberals in Good Shape All Over Ontario, The Premier Will Speak at Kingston Tonight.Toronto, Jan.31.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The Globe this morning prints despatdhes from: its correspondents presenting the political conditions as they exist in different parts of the Province.Here and there complications \u2018have arisen because of the presence of independent candidates in the field, but the general situation is such as to give the utmost confidence to all who desire a continuance in power of the Hardy Government.In almost every constituency strong candidates have been put up, organization has been perfected, and Liberals have unit ed in the determination to win.Foun more candidates were put in the running on Saturday, as follows: \u2014East Middlesex, Dr.McWilliams, Liberal; Hal- ton, Lieut.-Col.Kerns, Conservative; Moucn Wellington, Mr.Henry Hortop, Conservative; Stormont, Mr.John Bennett, Independent.Mr.Hardy will address a mass meeting of electors at Kingston to-night, and to-morrow he will speak at Brockville.Political organizations in cities and towns are concentrating their efforts mow upon the registration of voters.The actual date of the beginning of the registrars\u2019 sittings in Toronto has not.yet been fixed, but as soon as Judge McDougall is officially notified by Col.Clarke of the dissolution, the time will be announced.The sittings will probably be held next week.EFFECT OF ENCYCLICAL, Is Confined to the Church, Says Dean Carmichael, Dean Qarmilchiael preached yesterday in St.George\u2019s Church on the supremacy of St.Peter.He took as his text Mat- they 16, 18, \u201cThou art Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church.\u201d The reverend Dean defended the Protestant interpretation of the text, andi in referring to Papal bulls and encyclical letters, spoke as follows: \u2014 \u201cApart from his own people the power of the Pope's advice should be in exact proportion to its wisdom, for nome of us are too old, or none of us, I hope, too bigoted to learn from the wisdom of anyone.But beyond this the Pope can only interfere with Protedtantism, or the legislative action of this country, or of any other country under the British flag, in the same sense that T can.He can write to the newspapers, and this he has prac tically dome.\u201cFor his own people, such documents CORONA'S PILOT WAS TO BLAME, ship Was Two Miles Out of Her Course AND RAN ON TO A ROCK.A Number of the Passengers Return to Seattle, Seattle, Wash., Jan.31.\u2014Twenty-five of the passengers of the ill-fated Corona, which was wrecked on Lewis Island, on January, 23, arrived here yesterday on the dteamer Al-Ki, which rescued them from the lonely island.K.W.Poliock, who was a passenger on the Corona, in describing the wreck said: \u201cThe accident occurred at 9.30 Sunday morning.The morning gong had sounded to waken the passengers for breakfast.About 100 of them had already arisen.Captain C.H.Pierce and Pilot H.I.Caufman, were on the bridge.It was Caufman\u2019s first trip as pilot.The day was light enough to see the shores on all sides.Suddenly, while the ship was going at full speed, without warning, a terrible s.ock occurred, followed by a grinding succession.off lesser shocks.Instantly it was realized that the ship had struck @ rock and a scene of great confusion followed.The wheel was reversed, but the ship settled on the rock.The sea was calm.Captain Pierce ordered the boats lowered.The women were taken ashore first.By 10 o\u2019clock the passengers were all landed.The stock and some of the baggage and provisiond were then taken on shore] 104 \u201cThe passengers remained on the island until Thursday, patiently waiting for a | 4 passing steamer to take them away from a place of great personal discomfort.On Thursday the steamer Al-Ki arrived and 300 castaways boarded her.about 100 remaining on the island in the hope of catching a morth-bound vessel.\u201cAbout 10 o\u2019clock Thursday the Al-Ki met the steamer Oregon, bound from Portland, bound to Dyea and Skaguay.\u201cThe two steamers were lashed together and all but twenty-five of the Corona\u2019s passengers were transferred and started north again, \u201cIt is not believed that the injuries to the Corona are serious.\u201d Pilot H.F.Caufman, who was on duty at the time of the accident, tells the following story: \u201cPhe directions on the chart say to steer stra\u2018élit from Gibson Island to the North-West side of Kennedy\u2019s Island.In this water there are no soundings marked in the cimrt lees than seven faithomns deep ond seven fathoms is only found at the extreme end of this island, close to the shore.The soundings taken all around the island ranged from five to ten fathoms, with the exception of where the ship struck, whüdh was onl 22 fathomes.\u2018It is 6} miles from Gübson\u2019s Island, to the north-west side.I kept the ship due nortlrwest for seventeen minutes after passing Gibson's Island, and then altered it to the north-west by morth, and later she struck.\u201d Mr.Caufman declares that he was following directions laid down, and that he is not to blame.Against Pilot Caufman\u2019s declarations that he was on the direct course is the statement of the steamer pilot Thompson, who was on the boat nnd went off duty at four o\u2019clock on the morring of the accident, He eavs the rock on which Caufman ran the ship is well known to mariners,and that she was two miles out of her course.He no doubt are wacred ones, for us, mindful of the history of the past, it should have mo more influence on Protestant minds than a letter written by the Archbishop of Canterbury to the Church of England in Canada should have on Roman Catholic minds.We live under the British.flag, in a country where, ruled by a responsible Government, all creeds that | are not opposed to law, are freely tolerated and all mre equal.If the Government legislation is open to criticism the lowliest Camadian has a right to criticize, to agitate against its policy; and a wise Government would always weigh well the moral and political force of such Canadian agitation, but no Government worthy of the name of Carada could think for one moment of submitting to the interferenre of a foreign power, with regard either to the initiation or the reconsideration or the annulling of laws connected with the social arrangements of the Dominion, above all when such interference might be connected with a power that has ever | interfered with national privileges, in order to benefit itself.\u201d LENDER\u2019S RISK.| They Must Enquire Into the Amount of Taxes Authorized.Toronto, Jan.31.\u2014An important judgment was handed out by the Queen\u2019s Bench Divisional Court Saturday, defining the rights of money-lenders who seek to recover from municipalities.A number of the ratepayers of the village of Hin- toniburg, near Ottawa, entered action against the Molsons Bank, the corporation of the village, and the sheriff of the County of Carleton, to restrain those from enforcing a judgment recovered by the bank against the village for $6,000, loaned to meet extra expenditures in 1895.After the institution of this action a by-law was passed and debentures issued to meet the debt of the bank.Mr.Justice Street gave judgment as follows: \u2014\u201cY think that a bank or individual lendiug is bound to enquire into the amount of the taxes authorized to be levied to meet the expenditure, and cannot lawfully lend more than the same, although mot bound to enquire into the existence of an alleged necessity for borrowing \u2018that or any other amount.AT THE THEATRES.The Francais this

Goon-go Mohawk, the chamctenizes the accident as due to sheer carelessness, as do some of the passengers.During the stay on the island, Caufmon became more and the recipient of cautic criticisms from victims of the wreck.LEARNED IN MONTREAL.The Canadian Pacific Railway officials i this morning received the following despatch from the coast regarding the wrecks of the Corona and the

Toronto on Friday might last, and resulted in a win for McGill.The subject of discussion was : \u201cResolved that the British aristocracy does actually render such services to the State and society as to warrant its retention of present status.\u201d McGill upheld the affirmative, and was represented by Messrs.S.G.Archibald, B.A., and W.B.Heney, '99.The Toronto champions were Messrs.J.G.Inkster, \u201998, and H.Munroe, \u201998.Mr.S.G.Archibald held that the British Government as shown by the results, was the best, and compared it with that of France and the United States.The Lords had leisure, means and political training.They were born in a political atmosphere, and were interested in good legislation, being landowners, Mr.J.G.Inkster, Varsity, '98, followed, and declared that the hereditary principle upon which the House of Lords was founded was wrong.He also quoted history to show that the Upper House had never introduced legisla.ion except to defend its privileges, and always opposed new legislation on the game grounds.Mr, W.B.Heney pdinted out the permanency of the British aristocracy, which was based on ownership of the land, and not on that of the dollar.Two hundred of ita present members * * Teen members of the Commons.It hail always formulated British diplomacy, and only two Commoners had been Foreign Secretaries.Mr.H.Munroe, \u2019Varsity, 98, followed in a very ironical vein, and reminded the audience that the advantages of birth and all that pertained thereto were only for the aristocracy.The audience received the decision: with great applause, and the McGill representatives say that they received the best of receptions from the students of Toronto.ANOTHER CASE.Smallpox Breaks Out in a Maisonneuve Family.The City Health Depai:vent were

the price of the stock advancing nearyq seven points from Saturday.There was steady buying all morning led by L.J.Forget & Co.One of the bullish factors was said to be the story that Electric, Gas and

by no means settled, but that doesn\u2019t prevent the bulls from working the story for all that 1is worth.The stock this morning opened at 1493 and sold up as high as 1544, before the gong sounded at

Profesor Attila, the redoutable trainer of Sandow, Cyr and other strong men, and the gentleman who developed Corbett\u2019s musceles from his feet to his neck, met his waterloo to-day in Momtreal, in a very unexpected and undignified manner.He was enjoying a walk long St.James Street, in company with Mr.L.Harris, the real estate agent, when they stumbled across a party of Montrealers holding their ears and rubbing their noses and stamping their feet in an endeavor to keep warm.\u201cPretty cold weather this\u201d said one of the party.\u201cTut, tut, tut, sir,\u201d replied the professor as he opened his little autumn coat and pranced around with his hands in his trousers pockets.\u201cThis is delightful, we get it just as cold in New York, It\u2019s delightful, sir, delightful.\u201d Just then a stranger stopped, gazed at the professor, and grabbing him by the cars in good old Quebec style, shouted \u201cExcuse me stranger, but both your ears are frozen.\u201d f \u2018Jerusalem, are they?\u201d screamed the pro- ! fessor, \u201chelp me, help me.Whatll I do?\u2019 \u201cRub snow on them,\u201d said one, \u2018put brandy on them\u201d said another; \u201cput your head in a bucket of cold water,\u201d came from a third.The bystanders\u2019 couldn\u2019 help laughing at the professor as he pranced around and this made him think it was a joke.\u201cLeave it to a lawyer,\u201d was suggested as Mr.J.¥.Mackie came up.\u201cWhat'll he charge?\u2019 asked the professor.Mr.Mackie gave his services gratuitously and assured the professor that his ears were badly frozen.Friends rubbed them until the frost was well out of them ,and the developer of Sandow, Cyrand Corbett, with each side of his face and his ears locking like a fresh, boiled Halifax lobster left, saying: \u201cIt\u2019s colder here than I thought it was, Where'll I buy a fur coat?\u201d SEARCHING FOR FATHER GESSNER, Friends Are Searching in Montreal for a New York Priest.Father Martin Gessner, pastor of St.Pa- tricks Church, in Elizabeth, one of the richest and kumgeet Cathode ehurches in New Jersey, mysteriously disappeared from this rectory Friday, on the eve of a celebration arranged to commemorate, yosterday, his twenty-fifth.year as the priest of the parfsh, and it is believed he fs in Montreal, or at the Shrine of Ste, Anne de Beaupre.Eccentricities have been developed in his character within a year or two.At one time he unexpectedly forbade the usual moonlight sail of the Young Men\u2019s Catholic Association, saying that all who went would the mew church was practically finished, several citizens arranged to fly two American flags from the steeples, and to have music and speeches opposite the church, Ait the last moment Father Gessner stopped it.Friends have awmived im Montreal, and are searching for htm, but so far without success.It is generally believed that he is at Ste, Anne de Beaupre, J THE JOHN EATON CASE, Toronto, Jan.31.\u2014The suit of the Baug of Toronto in the John Eaton case against various insurance companies for losses in the Eaton fire which has been occupying the courts here for three weeks, seems likely to occupy the attention of the courts of three countries.American insurance companies are involved to the extent of about $100,000, and process was issued from the Buffalo courts @ week ago.Messrs.Rogers, Lock & Millburn have been retained for the bank, and will push matters there; while matters are in train for beginning suit in England against the English insurance companies, who are involved to the extent of over $50,000

causes.One case is very sad.Mrs, Alfred Butler, 13 Montcalm Street, with her husband and mother, went \u2018bo see some relatives, and took the Notre Dame Street car going east.When near De Salaberry Street she felt fill.All three got off the car and went into a small store near the corner of that &treet and Notre Dame, Here she became worse, and before medical help reached her she was dead.She was 23 years old.\u201che was married about a vear ago, and wag about \u2018to become a mother when her life was cut short.An old woman, Madame Sevard, was returning from mass early yesterday morning, When going ustaïrs, she suddenly stopped and fell forwands.When found.she was dead.She had been under a doctors treatment for heart disease for some time.Maximen Goyer, of St, Laurent, died in an apoplectic fit about five o'clock in the morning.At that hour he gots out of bed.; to put some wood on the fire, His wife heard a thud, and called to him.Receiving no answer, she rushed to the kitchen, and found her husband on the floor nnconscious, Medical aid was summoned, but by the time the doctor amrived Goyer had passed away.\u2018The coroner Investigated all the cases, and decided it was not necessary to call a jury, as death was plainly due to natural causes, INSURANCE COMPANY RETIRING.The Montreal Plate Glass Insurance Company gives notice in the Canada Gas zette that they have ceased to carry on business, and have insured all outstanding risks with the Lloyd's Plate Glass Insurance Company of New York.Application has been made for the release of the securities lodged with

The lip of Melody grew still, But through her tears smiled Sorrow} And winter crept across the hill, And snows came on the morrow.Then Sorrow cried, \u201cTho\u2019 Spring be missd May we not fare together?\u201d And Melody amd Sorrow kissed Amid the snowy weather, And taking up his silent lute Where Sorrow\u2019s tears still glistened, Sweet Melody, no longer mute Sang low while Sorrow listened, And Melody and Sorrow passed Down happy hill and hollow, And tardy April brought at last The summer and the swallow! \u2014Arthur J, Stringer.MONTRPAL SIGNS.The American visitor who walked up St.Lawrence Street, the other day, became profoundly impressed with the high sound ing names of some of the stores, Generally he found that the smallest stores had the biggest names, while the owners of the larger concerns seemed satis fied to merely announce their names aud the business they were in, \u201clI can\u2019t remember them exactly,\u201d he observed to a friend in the hotel last night, \u201cbut some of the names were wonders.On a small candy place you would see \u2018The Philadelphia.Confectionery Store.\u201d then Baltimore something else, and so on,\u2018 The Canadian friend who was with him, thought, however, that the Main Street signs faded into insignificance compared with a colossal announcement that used to grace a dinkey concern on Craig Street.\u201cIt was one of the smallest places I ever saw,\u201d \u2018he said, \u2018amd what did the owner do but erect a partition and go halves with a Chinese laundry outfit.Without exaggeration I should say that the owner's store\u2014 a boot and shoe concern\u2014then measured about five feet by tem, and when he got his repaliring tools in, and then got in himself, there was a beautiful state of cone gestion.There were two windows, the Chinamen getting one and the shoe man the other.But the sign the latter put out made his window look dismal, After some difficulty I learned üt off by heart, Te

St.John train, No.29, or what is called here the Provincial express, was wrecked in the cut at Orono Basin, Mills at 3.45 this afternoon, and six cars, including the smoker, were turned topsy-turvey into the ditch.One of the passenger cars, in which were a large number of people, was almost entirely demolished.Two persons were killed, and more thal a score injured, several probably fatally.Canadian artillerymen will give a royal welcome to their British brothers in arms next August, when a team from the army will come out bere to compete with the men who go successfully faced them at Khoeburyness.Ç On Saturday afternoon the council of the Dominion Artillery Association met in Otaiwa to discuss the arrangements to be made, and the result of their deliberations will be submitted to the general officer commanding and the Minister of Militia.At the meeting there were present Lieut.-Col.Irwin, president of the council, in the chair; Lieut.-Col.Cole, president of the association; Major Donaldson, secretary; Lieut.-Col.Cotton, Lieut.-Col.Macdonald, Major Burdman and Lieut.- Col.Coutlee, Obtawa Field Battery; Major Hibbard, Second Regiment C.A.; Major Mead and Capt.Myles, Toronto Field Battery.; It was decided that the annual competitions be held at Fort Dufferin, St.John, N.B., which has all the needed qualifications.It has the moving target and sea ranges that are indispensable, and also sufficient battery accommodation to enable group firing with 64-pr.guns on traversing platforms, group firing with 40-pr.R.B.L.guns, and shifting ordnance com- without any crowding or delay.In addition to these qualifications, the sea range is open and unobstructed and the company ground good.As regards the other places thought of, the camp site at the Island of Orleans is very restricted and the space for guns cannot be increased.The range is a tidal ome and unsuitable for continuous firing ait a moving target.At Halifax the sea range is very frequently obstructed, and the Government \u2018have no ordnamce available, or any emplacements from which 64-pr.guns could be used at a moving target.The following programme for the com- pctitions was arranged:\u2014 (a) Group firing\u20142 guns, 64 pr., moving target, D.R.F.(b) Group firing\u20142 guns, 40 pr., moving target, D.R.F.(ce) Single gun\u201464 pr., stationary dar- get.(d) Single gun\u201440 pr., combined with disabled ordnamce.(e) Shifting ordnance pr., \u201cA\u201d and \u201cB\u201d shifts.The details will be arranged by the executive after the annual meeting of the association, which takes place on February 10.After the competition the British detachment will proceed to Quebec by rail, Montreal by boat, Ottawa, Dese- ronto (where the field artillery competition takes place), Toronto amd Niagara, returning here by boat.No resfliction will be put on the number or rank of the detachment, which will arrive in Canada about August 29.competition\u201464 BRITISH POLITICS.New York, Jan.30.\u2014\u201cThe Chancellor of the Exchequer is now in Downing Street every day,\u201d saiys Mr.Ford in his London letter to the Tribune, \u201cand the other ministers are in their London residences.Cabinet meetings being frequent.The clubs are already filling up with members of Par- lioment.Sir William Harcourt will return next week to Richmond Terrace, where he will again have Lord Onslow\u2019s house.His followers are anxious to waste all their ammunition at once by proposing amendments on the Indian frontier war, China, Crete, the Soudan and every other foreign question, but he is too wary a commander to adopt these tactics.He believes in keeping up a steady fire throughout the session.The Government\u2019s most vulnerable point is the frontier campaign, which has been badly managed, but probably debate on this question will be deferred until Sir Wililam Lockhart\u2019s return to London.All persons agree that the session will be a long one, with Irish local Government and army bills well to the front.The London bill will be kept back until Whit- suntide and possibly held over until another session.Lord Salisbury will receive next week a delegation from nineteen vestries, which desires incorporation as nineteen cities.* His reply will probably be cautious, for his previous speech has been taken up by the Progressive party as a direct challenge ,and the March election will be fought on the issue raised by him.The Progressives have opened their campaign this week with great enthusiasm in a mass meeting at St.James Hall.Their main plea is that unity of government is essential if London is ever to haye those enlightened municipal policies by which other English towns have benefited.Tory, Liverpool and Mr.Chamberlain\u2019s Birmingham being included, Lord Tweed- mouth was greeted with loud applause when he declared that the ground land- Jord who sits still and grows rich at his ease must contribute directly to London taxation.This municipal fight will be hotly contested and the Government will hardly venture to persevere in the dismemberment of London if the progressives carry their elections.The moderates have the ground landlords, the monopolies and the vested interests behind them, and also the true Conservative feeling that London is too big to be governed by a centralized administration.New York, Jan.30.\u2014The London correspondent of the Times says:\u2014The approaching session of Parliament is regarded with more eagerness by the public than I remember seeing in England before.If the people had the naming of the sub- jecls to be considered they would put In- Jin fare in the front of all the rest, and the reform of the army next.Politicians are busy preparing for field engagements on both these topies, but the sessions rare- lv follow the programmes mapped out in advance.If the concert of Europe goes to smash over the Cretan business, as now seems probable, or if either China or the Soudan develops an actual war scare, Parliament will be easily induced to forget the unpleasant side issues in the fervor of martial excitement.London, Jan.30.\u2014The most hopeful fact of the moment in Ireland is the sucecss of the Congested Districts Board.Its fixed income is only $206,000 and it works \u2018for love,\u201d yet already it has managed to redeem parts of Irelands from destufion in improving the quality of potatoes and introducing industries like beekeeping.Farmers in some places actually are paying for their holdings with the proceeds, the honey bee thus replacing the pig as the SED i.on SA Boni.The dead are: Jennie S.Murray, St.i Stephen, N.B.; Mrs.D.Cunningham, ) Troy, Maine.The train was running over the Maine Central tracks and left Bangor a little late.At the time of the derailment, which wus due to spreading rails, the train was running at about thirty-five miles an hour.It was made up of a combination baggige and mail car, parlor car, smoking car, two pas- scnger coaches and a private car of President F.A.Wolson, of the Maine Central, which was occupied by President and Mrs, Wilson and two ladies, on the way to St.John to pass Sunday.The accident was connected with an unusual incident.The train is not scheduled to stop at Orono, but the conductor found that a number of University students held tickets for that station, so he signalled the engineer to make a stop.It was just after this signal that the accident came.No worse spot for a derailment can be found on this line.There is a high embankment for miles, and every car save President Wilgon\u2019s, was overturned.TYÉ mass of wreckage fortunately did not take fire, as these cars were equipped with steam- heating apparatus.The death list is small, which seems almost miraculous.\u201cDUN'S\u201d SUED.One Hundred Thousand Dollars for Alleged False Rating.Wheeling, W.Va., Jan.29.\u2014A damage suit for $100,000 was filed here yesterday in the Circuit Court, by attormeys of the Alexander Lumber Company, against the R.C.Dun Company.The bill of particulars alleges a false and malicious rating issued on January 27, 1897, by the Dun Mer cantile Agency, in which it was said, among other things, that the plant was built on an extravagant plan, and badly managed, future prospects clouded, credit impaired, and advised creditors to obtain security if possible.RFPORT FOR THE WEEK.Following is the

month shows an increase of $34,000 over that for January of last year.The announcement that the ministry 1n- tends to request the Imperial Government to send a royal commission to visit the colony is hailed with great satisfaction.The Government anticipates that the send- mg of such a commission would result in liberal financial aid to settlers on the French treaty coast, following the example of the recent Imperial grant to assist the West India sugar planters.MORE RIOTS IN INDIA.Bombny, Jan.29.\u2014Serious riots have {aken plice at Sinnar, in the Nassick district of this Province, agninst

extract from the Canada Lancet dwells particularly on the value of a standard English preparation in the treat- 1aent of affections of the liver: \u201cOne of the chief points of Abbey\u2019s Effervescent Salt is its superiority as an aperient\u2014tuking the place of nauseating mineral waters.It is particularly useful in cases of obstinate constipation, without being attended with debility of the stomach and bowels; not having the reactionary effect peculiar fo most aperients and cathartics.It also directly excites the hepatic function, making it invaluable in chromic liver affections.\u201d The daily use of Abbey\u2019s Effervescent Salt will keep you in good health.Sold by all druggists at 60 cents a large bottle, Trial size, 25 cents.A WELL-DRESSED GENTLEMAN Is the

Major Earle, Lieut.Hall and seventeen men of the Yorkshires were wounded, Major Earle severely.Seventeen privates are reported as missing.The receipt of the despatdh has caused a great sensation (here, and further details are anxiously awaited.Tt appears that a combined movement was planmed to cut off the retreat of a number of Afridis, who had been driving their cattle to graze on the Kajural Plain, west of Bara Fort.Two columns marched from Alj Musjid and Jairud to block the way north, a third column, from Bara, marched westward over the plain toward the hills; while a fourth, consisting of the Yorkshire Regiment, and a regiment of Sikhs, advanced from Miaha with a view of getting to the rear of the Afnidis and preventing their escape.The first three columns performed their allotted movements without loss, meeting with very few of the enemy.The fourth, under Col.T.J.Seppings, left Maman;

+ twelve Yorkshires are missing, including one who was wounded and captured by the enemy.Major Earle\u2019s injuries are serious, \u2014_\u2014\u2014 REBELS ENTRENCHED.Brilliant Work by a British Officer in East Africa.30.\u2014The Daily Mail has received a letter from Usoga, Africa, dated Dec.1, giving the latest news of the disaster that befell the expedition under the command of Major MacDonald and Mr.Jackson.Despatches have already told how the Soudanese mercenaries attached to the expedition revolted and killed: 16 British.The Mail\u2019s letter says that in addition to the British, the mutineers killed 50 Silths and Swahilis.The Sou- danese, after being finally repulsed by the expedition, took refuge in a fort where they murdered in cold blood three Englishmen whom they had captured.The victims names were Thurston, Wilson, and Scott.The letter goes on to say that the rebels are in a strong position in a good fort on a peninsula.They have two Maxim guns.Major MacDonald is invest ing the place as best he can until the arrival of relief, which was expected in two days.The reinforcements consist of a body of troops under command of an officer named Harrison, who has, since he heard of the revolt, performed a brilliant series of foroed marches from Machakos, come hundreds of miles southeast.He first reached Ngouge, where Sir A.Hard- inge, commissioner and consul-general for {the East Africa Protectorate, joined him.He next pushed on and relieved the post at Lake Naivasha, which was in deadly peril from the revolted Soudanese.He next relieved El Doma ravine from a similar plight.Then, without resting, he pursued the retreating horde of rebels through Nournea, a port on Vietoria Ny- anza, and expected to join Major Mac- Donald on December 2 or 3.The writer says it will then be possible to put the finishing touches on the rebellion before tthe troops from Mombassa arrive.The posilion of the rebels in the fort is so strong that perhaps the investment will be prolonged with the object of starving them out.They now receive most of _ their supplies from the lake, but this source of supply will be partly cut off by Major Macdonald, who will place a Maxim gun on board a small steamer.The Usoga expedition is anxious regard- \u2018ing the fate of 'the garrisons on the Un- \u2018voro frontier.Communication with them has been broken.It is not known whether the Soudanese on the frontier have rebelled or not.Such is the extent of the reliable news regarding the situation.What has happened since December 1 is not known.London, Jan.BEDFORD DAIRYMEN.Many Speakers Present at Yesterday's Convention.Cowansville, Que, Jan.29.\u2014The innovation of having but one day for the annual convention of the District of Bedford Dairymen\u2019s Association, was not altogether | a success.The convention did not waste \u2018much time on business routine.The old Board: of Directors was promptly re-in- stated in the places they so satisfactorily fill.There are three for each county in the district, viz: Brome, Hon.S.| A.Fisher and H.8.Foster, Knowlton and George H.Boright, Sutton; Missi- | quoi, Thos.Hunter, Venice; R.MeKill, - Mystic; M.Rumnter, Cowansville; Shef- ford, J.A.Hayes, L.H.Lawrence, West Shefford and Gardner Stevens, Waterloo.Aa a subsequent meeting of the directors \"the officers were re-elected as follows: H.S.Foster, president, Thos.Hunter, vice- president; Stevens Baker, Cowansville, sec- rutary-treasurer.| Mr.Derbyshire was first speaker and : without having a specific subject gave one : of his bright, hopeful and humorous little | talks on the outlook for the dairying in- ; dustry in Canada and what could be done | to improve it.Mr.President Foster gave an excellent address dealing with a variety of subjects.| He wants better roads, fewer cheese factories and bigger ones, better built and better furnished.He congratulated the association on the progress made since its organization in 1868, which\u201cte thought - was commendable but he saw much yet Mr, Jas.Mackinnon had prepared a motion on the tuberculosis question, which was adopted, and a copy transmitted to the Minister of Agriculture, who, unfor- | tunately, could not be at the convention, | as ve had promised, being detained in Ottawa on important business.The motion read, urged upon the Minister of Agriculture the necessity for the appointment of a board of cattle commissioners.E.P.Stephens spoke about tuberculosis also.Prof.Robertson, the Dominion Dairy Commissioner, was called upon, and his speech took up mosti of the.afternoon session.He gave mudh good advice on the care and feed of the milking cow.Like Mr.Derbyshire, Prof.Robertson emphasises and reiterates the fact that absolute cleanliness in everything that has to do with the manufacture of butter and heese is absolutely essential in order to produce unexceptional goods.A.W.Grant and Jas.Alexander, of Montreal, made short speeches.Mr.Derbyshire had heard that a Board of Trade for the sale of cheese was about to be started in Shefford County.It was a mistake.What we needed was langer boards and not more of them.Big organizations give power.If a board at Cowansville can put on 6,000 or 7,000 boxes each week.: Prof.Fletcher's address was the prinei- pal one of the evening.Insects injuricus to fruit, and weeds injurious to land, were his principal subjects, + Almost with reverence does the jgrocer\u2019s boy regard Chase & Sanborn\u2019s Seal Brand Coffee.Often has he been admonished to bring only Chase & Sanborn\u2019s Seal Brand, he now realizes that it stands in a class by itself.The best people to whose houses he is sent demand this brand.No matter what he may forget, no matter what he may bring wrong, he never makes a mistake in bringing another kind of coffee when Seal Brand is ordered.All grocers sell it, in pound and two-pound tin cans.SPAIN ALARMED.Visit of U.8S.Battleship Maine, Havana, Excites Apprehension.to London, Jan.29.\u2014The Correro, organ of the Carlists, discussing the visit of the United States battleship Maine, to Havana, thinks the Spanish public is justifiably alarmed, adding: \u2014\u201cAs a matter of fact, it is the Government itself which is seriously alarmed, though every effort is made to disguise it.In spite of the official statement of Admiral Cerveras, the admiral of the fleet, on Tuesday last, at a conference with the Minister of Marine, when he asserted that the recent evolutions had demonstrated the perfect condition of the Spanish fleet, Admiral Cerveras in reality reported that there was not a ship ready for service; that the vessels not actually in dry dock ough to be there, thac many of the boilers were defective, that some ships were not yet armed and that most of the vessels require cleaning.In view of the perfidious- ness of the United States, it fis not surprising that such neglect and helplessness creates alarm.\u201d According to the same paper, great nn- portance is attached to the conference between M.Patanotre, the French Minister to Spain, and Senor Gullon, the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, who, it is said, discussed the action of the United States.It is well known that there is great alarm im France at the course of events.The fact that M.Patanotre is intimately conversant with United States nffains, lends additional importance to the matter.Madrid, Jan.30.\u2014It is announced that the Spanish fleet will proceed to the Canaries to engage in manoeuvres there.Madrid, Jan.29.\u2014It is understood here that the Supreme War Council will sentence Lieut.-General Weyler to two months\u2019 imprisonment, but that the Government will grant him a pardon.Cartagena, Spain, Jan.29.\u2014The first- class armored cruiser Vizcaya is starting for America.\u2018The rest of the Spanish squadron is preparing to rail for Havana.The ironclad Cristobal Colon (formerly Guisepe Garibaldi IT.), will accompany the torpedo flotilla later.Havana, Jan.30.\u2014Senor Antonio Govin, the Minister of the Interior, in the Cuban Cabinet, is said to have brought the authorization of the New York Cuban Junta to megotiate with the insurgents and the Spanish Government for the establishment of peace.It is reported that Senor Braulio Acosta, one of General Pando\u2019s emissaries at Manzanillo, has been hanged for offering money to the insurgents to induce them to surrender.MR.WITHALL'S WILL, One Million and a Half, of \u2018Which $20,000 is for Charity.RAILWAYS.CANADFA] CHANGE E.Taking Effect, 1st February, 1898.Improvement in Vancouver Train Service The Pacific E ss for OTTAWA, WINNI- Ë PEG.MANITOBA and NORTHWEST POINTS, KOOTENAY, and PACIFIC COAST.KLONDIKE, Etec., Will leave Windsor Street Station, Montreal, at2.00 p.m week days.Eastbound Atlantic Express is due to arrive in Montreal at 2.00 P m.week days, Improvement in Ottawa Service.tion, 9.30 a.m.2.0) p, m., and 9.10 p.m.Dalhousie Square Station, 8.30 a.m.and 4.30 p.m.Trains leave Ottawa at 4.25a.m., 8.30 a.m\u2026 10.055.m.3.45 p.m.Windsor Street Station at 8.05 a.m., Station at 12.45 p.m.and 9.55 p.m.Joliette local will leave at 5.00 p.m.\u2014 Best Route to the KLONDIKE ao YUKON GOLD FIELDS.Steamers are intended to sail from 23rd;

31.DEFEAT THE RING\u2019S CANDIDATES.No more serious mistake could be made by those who wish to see Montreal improve its position among the leading cities cf Nouth America, than to negleot the first duty of citizenship in to-morrow\u2019s elec- Lions.The extraordinary exertions made by candidates whose election may be taken as the sure presage of large and undesirable expenditures, are alone enough to warrant good citizens in turning out and working hard for the other candidates.We hear of thirty thousand dollars being spent In a single ward, and of ten thousand dollars being spent by a single candidate who has already spent that much in two previous elections without success.We hear of combinations between certain candidates which peveal the true nature of the intention of a majonity of the new council if all goes well.Men whose good intentions there is the most reason to suspect are \u2018slated\u2019 for the most important chairmanships.Other chairmanships are assigned to men who have never been in the Council and whose only chance of election depends upon the use of money.The weakest men in the Council and the men who can be easiest handled, are \u201cslated\u201d for the membership of the spending committees.\u2018Ilaere is to be a regular saturralia of |spendimg, in which the \u201cfriends\u201d of the chosen ones will, of course, always be remembered.We most gincerely hope timese calculations will be frustrated.There is just one way to do it.Men of the right stamp must be elected to-morrow.There are already some worthy men in the Councu wihio have been elected by acclamation, and there are obhers who would be good aldermen, if being good were popular.There are yet others who would act rightly by the city\u2019s interests if they were afraid to do otherwise.We have no hesitation mn gaying that a band of \u2018half-a-dozen aldermen could break up all the cliques and rings in the Countil in six months.There is the right kind of material before tive electors now for the formation of such a coterie, and the choice must be made tomorrow by the electors between them and the undesirable contingent.The election of Mr.H.B.Ames is conceded by those who least desire to see him in the Council.He can omly be defeated by tthe apathy of the friends of the cause be represente.The same may be said of Mr.Arthur Gagnon, in St.Louis Ward.Little as his presence is desired by the cliques, Mr.Gagnon\u2019s election is looked upon as a cer tainty, despite the opposition.of Ald.Beau- soleil and his brother.The sentiment of the wand is with Mr.Gagnon; it is now only a matter of voting.The others are not by any means in as good a position.Mr.Paquette hias already made friends of the mammon of iniquity, 80 to speak, so that all the undesirable influences of the old Council wil lbe thrown in his favor, and nothing but the most fatithful work cam bring about the election of Mr.Couture, who is by ali odds the more desirable candidate.Mr.Lafontaine\u2019s campaign in St.Denis ward has not been, it is maid, waged with that debermi- nation which is desirable.It is to be hoped this is not the case and that St.Denis ward, which hag a worthy representative in the person of Ald.Martineau, will send another in the person of Mr.Lafontaine.But it means hard work all day to-morrow.Mr, R.S.Weir is making à strong fight in St.Lawrence wand against two very strong candidates.Mr.Weir's friends should leave nothing undone to ensure his election.One of the worsé cvils in some parts of the «ity has been abstention from voting, and there has been more than one historical case where @ beaten candidate has been able to count enough of his personal friends whose voles had they been cast, as they unfortunately were not,would have wiped out his opponent\u2019s majority.Mr.Edouard Roy is opposing Ald.Grothe, the chairman of the Police Committee, who was responsible for much of the improper expenditure recently cxpos- ed.He deserves energetic stpport.Mr.Robillard, who is opposing Ald.Brunet, should be elected if for mo other reason than that his election will put an end to the absurd pretentions of hig opponent as the leader of the Council, a position for which he is ubterly uaquali- fied, and which he could only obtain and hold as the nomince of tha Mayor-elect.Mr.Mercier, Ald.Beausoleil» opponent, has good claims ini his own right, aside from the \u2018fact that he is opposing one of the most dangerous of the old aldermen.Ald.Beausoleil in this campaign is like a lone prospector on Alaska\u2019s shore.He is left out of all the calculations, and has taken to making his own.Every man\u2019s hand is against him municipally, and his hand is against every mam.The only provision that has been made for him on the Mayor-elect\u2019s \u201cslate\u201d is a place on the Finance Committee.He has his own set of candidates in the field.He is fighting Ald.Brunet, Ald.Marsolais and Mr.Gagnon, as well as attending to his own opponent, Mr.Mercier.He is à master of combinations, but .some of them ara pretty sure to go astray this time, for he lias the forces of good gov- éme Ee a a \u2014 a ernment solidly against him, and the other | cements have manifested their distaste | for his undoubted ability by giving him i the cold shoulder.\u201cWhen two men ride of la horse one must ride behind\u201d AN.| Leausoleil, in the attempt to improve his | relative position, may lose his seat altogether, Ald.McBride ought to be returned by a good majority.Of Ald.Stevenson, too, it can at least be sand that he has in his time done good service for the city, and that he is 'amenable to public opinion when it is vigorously expressed; more- aver, the combination-mailners llave assumed the election of his opponent in ad- vanice.AÏld.Connaughton is an alderman whom St.Ann\u2019s Ward cannot afford to part with, and we do not for a moment believe lis election will be seriously endangered.But there van be no doubt that a mighty \"and well organized effort is being made to secure a certain combination in the.Council, and Ald.Conmaugh- ton is exactly the kind of man who would be left out of such a combination.For that reason he should be returned to the Council with \"a majority that will be a vindication.of [his excellent record in the past.The one thing necessary is to vote.Vote for the right man.Vote early.See that your friends vote.See that they vote early.The man who votes early is sure that no one else votes in his name.It is bad enough not to vote; it is worse to be refused the privilege because someone else has voted on the name earlier in the day.SHALL CANADA HOLD HER OWN?The proposal for the Canadiam Yukon Railway having been generally approved by the people and press of the country, it remains now only for the promoters of other projects to expend their disappointment through the newspapers.The country will then settle itself to watch with interest Messrs.Mackenzie & Manm\u2019s great struggle against time and Arctic difficulties.Col Domville, M.P., who is promoting a rai- way into the Yukon and has been out on the Pacific coast etudy\u2018ng the conditions, gives it es his opinion that the contractors cannot carry out their engagement.Another good authority, whose opinions The Herald printed on Saturday, gave it as his opinion that it is the greatest railway undertaking ever contracted for by men in Canada.The country through which the road must run, is either \u201cstanding on .end\u201d or under water.By those persons, therefore, who know something of the contract, the difficulties of the work are appreciated more mearly at their value.The question for the country is whether the contractors have received too much for undertaking it.The absolute necessity for pushing the work through this year is not questioned.This is the paramount consideration.It is the key to the whole subject.There is going to be an expendi {ure by Klondikers this year, of a hundred million dollars, either in the United States or in Canada.Where shall it be spent?In Canada, we all say.Then we must lose no time nor spare any effort.An all-Cana- dian railway must be rushed through.It must be built, not as railways are usually built, but with the speed of a war work.We are accustomed to the phrase, commercial war; well, this struggle for the incalculable advantages of the Yukon trade is as near an approach to it as Canada has ever experienced.Shall we keep our own commercial territory?Shall we prevent the threatened commercial in- vasion?There is no difference of opinion on this point anywihere in Canada.The Camadian Yukon Railway is a commercial emergency projeat.Like all works of this character it will prove to be excessively ocoetly to the contractors by reason of that fact.But more than that, it de also a famine railway.On this account, too, # must be pushed through that stretch of ice, rock and bog with extraordinary speed\u2014pushed through within a time which the promoters of the project declare to be a year too -short.The question is mot an academic one as to \u2018the best theory of railway construction.[f there were plenty of time ahead of them, ministers might consider all sorts of fine schemes for getting a railway built without cost to the country, either in land or money, In the present situation the supreme thing is time.If the railway is not started ait once, steam communication with Dawson City by an all-Canadian route must be postponed until the fall of 1899.Two or three hundred millions of money may have been expended in the Klondike trade by that time, and Canada would have lost ten times as much as the railway will cost.While our Government were peddling around with a charter to save some land\u2014which, be it remembered, the Government is willing to give away to all-comers\u2014the country would lose a year\u2019s trade and ten times as much as the whole land is worth.It is sufficient evidence that the contractors have not too good a thing, when their competitors tell us they cannot carry out the conditions which the Government has imposed, and when it is known that the promoters of every other project drew off as soon as the Government stated that no cash assistance would be given.THE DANGER OF FAMINE, Tales of the most gruesome nature are coming from the Klondike which demon- stmte the imminence of famine in thas far-off, frost-encircled country.Men who to last through the winter, and with no stores from which to obtain them, are leaving Dawson City on the long and perilous journey to the coast towns, preferring in the dead of winter rather than wait on starvation rations for the incoming of new supplies in the spring.It is already several weeks since this exodus began, and must be difficult to form any estimate of the number who have braved the return trip since then, and equally difficult to measure the necessities of those who remain in the camp over winter.Tt is perkaps easy to argue that men who trust themselves ia such a place mm.- 2 aie.en alll kin EE oo find themselves without provisions enough | to face the trials and privations of the trip | THE HERALD, MONDAY JANUARY 31, 1898.without ample provisions deserve no consideration or pity.The fact is, however, that all men are reared nowadays under circumstances in which there is ample food and other necessaries of life if there is only the money \u2018to be had to pay for it, and we may be fairly certain that really understood the necessity of absolute self-dependence after he left the coast cities.Few indeed who have been reared under the complex conditions of modern civilization are capable of being turned loose into the .ways of savage men at a moment's notice, and if most of those who went into Dawson Oity failed to carry with them enough of the necessaries of life to last them the better part of a year, we may indeed blame them, but it is easy to understand their neglect.Dr.G.M.Dawson summed up the hardships of gold+hunting when he said that the Yukon country had untold quantities \u2018of gold to be found in places \u2018that are ridh just in proportion to their difficulty : 0 access.The harder the place is to get at, the better the raturns will be.It was always tthe case with gold mining.The California fields were away at the other side of the continent, and to reach them it was necessary to sail around the Horn, or to traverse immense stretches of alkaline wastes where men perished of thirst.Many were caught in the mountains in winter and perished of cold and want of food.In West Australia the low hills that hold the gold are mot reached without theroic struggles against the terrible sand-storms of the desert and against the agonies of thirst in a land where a waber power is more valuable than a gold mine.In the Yukon the danger arises not so much from the cold, for Nansen says the arctic weather is the \u2018best in the world if you are prepared for it, but from the fact that a barrier of ice shuts out all communication with the civilized workd beyond.It is more than probable that as the beleagured residente of Dawson City watch the spring sunshine and wait for the time when the waters above them will come down free of ice and bearing boatloads of provisions and clothing, the daily anxieties, hopes and discouragements will lead to such conditions as will keep the Administrator and his police busy in preserving order, so busy that fit will be fortunate if there is mot a serious cutbreak before the first boatloads come in.As there is unhappily every reason to believe that there will be shortage of food supply and the imminent dread of death trom starvation at Dawson City in the spring, too much cannot be eaid for the promptitude with which the Government has met this aspect of he situation.The gleigh road from Wiangal to Teslin Lake will enable supplies to be sent to the head of river mavigation in time to be rushed down stream as fast -as the ice departs.Teslin Lake and the Hootalinqua River being so far south of Dawson City, the ice will break up earlier there {ham lower down, so that within a very few days of the clearing of the river from in front of Dawson City, the first boatloads of supplies should be there.And if the sleigh road will serve for this year, the railroad will be an inestimable boon to the country next year.The prospects of a famine with the present relatively small population are bad enough, but with from fifty to a hundred thousand men thus cooped up inmtive arctic fastnesses there would be no end of horror.It has been stated that to take in the quantity of food necessary to supply so many people as will go imto tae Klondike this.year, if all the food had to be taken over the Chilkoot and White passes, would \u2018be an utter impoassibility.If the Klondike next year is not to be such a pandemonium as no mining camp has ever yet witnessed, a railroad before the first of September is an absolute necessity.It will give more than two monihs to take in provisions that can be taken in no other way.If only from the necessity of preventing famine, therefore, the Government were bound to grapple with the railway question at the earliest possible moment.It is fortunate for the country that there were men at hand to take over the responsibility of constructing the road in the time that has been specified.If there is wealth for Canada in the Klondike, the best means to ensure the exploitation of that wealth has assuredly been taken.\u2014 NOTES AND COMMENTS Vote!

comments, as my candidature is all you reproach me with, being as yet an untried representative.I beg to state here that although coming forward for the third time in St.Louis, on each occasion I consenbed to be a candidate \u2018upon the eamest demand of the beat and most influential elements of the ward, barring none, among whom are representatives of commerce, industry amd labor, as weil as
