Kicked by a Horse.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 kville, Ont., Feb.14.\u2014The Brock- proc \u2018ties have commenced an In- ville author\u2019 ro matter that hinges on a vestigation, re ow Opinion seems to be di- murder me matter, but at all events, vided oF suspicion seems to have been en- Bd to warrant what is likely to genders close and searching investigation, bbe death last week occurred near New- cene of the Luckey tragedy, of bliss, the ® ed Geo Price, from roung man named ge \u2019 pick 8 > was supposed to have been the kicl oa horse.The victim resided with his oo and one night last week went to The stable in company with a young men gamed Brundidge.He was found there subsequently in such a position as fo cad to the inference that he had been Kick by one of the horses in the stable at the time, and was at once removed to the house.It is understood that medical attendance was called, but the sufferer remained unconscious for thirty-six hours, when denth ensued.In due time the funeral was held and the body was placed in a vault between his home and the town of Smith's Falls.The notice of the event occasioned very little comment here, end would probably have passed from memory, but for information which reach- el Chief Rose.The nature of this information is not known, but it was deemed of sufficient fimportance by the officer to warrant his laying it before County Crown Attorney Brown.As m result, the chief, accompanied by Coroner Vaux, last even- itg proceeded to Smith\u2019s Falls.They were ermed with the necessary power to institute an inquest in the matter, and upon renching the Falls secured a conveyance and drove at once to the vault, where the lay.be their arrival on the scene they found a well-attended singing class in progress.Ir.a few minutes enough of the singing pupils had been secured to form a jury, yearly all the members of which were from the neighborhood in which the supposed tragedy took place.The jury was composed of the following gentlemen: Ww.Hea- slip, foreman; R.Lampton, J.Martin, 3.Martin, M.B.Ballantyne, R.B.Ballan- tyne, H.B.Bolton, J.Martin, A.Lamp- ton, W.Lee, F.Andrews, W.Sharpe.The inquest was opened at the vault, but nothing further was done than to view the body, after which an adjournment was made until the 21st inst., when it will re- wen at Irish Creek.Post-Mortem Ordered.In the meantime a post-mortem examination of the remains will be made by Dr.Dixon, of Frankville, and Dr.Connerty, f Smith\u2019s Falls, and upon the report of hese gentlemen much depends as to the esult of the inquest when it reopens.Chief Rose says that when the body was examined yesterday, both by himself and Coroner Vaux, the claims of those who are urging an investigation, on the ground that no marks cf violence were visible, were to some extent borne out, but of course the post-mortem will likely settle the question conclusively.There was a elight scratch on one of the lips of deceased, and a small swelling on the fore- bead, but otherwise the body seemed to be uninjured.There are numerous stor- les flying about the neighborhood in con- tection with the affair, but as yet none of them have been traced to their source.Chief among them is one to the effect that the deceased had been having some trouble over property with relatives, and a rood many seem to think this the primary vause which led to the investigation.Brundidge\u2019s Story.Brundidg.: belongs to Irish Creek.Anther story of the affair puts Brundidge fa bad light.He and Price were out Iriving together, and returned late to Price\u2019s home.They unharnessed the horses, throwing the harness on the ground outside, and let the horses go into the stable, Brundidge started to hamd the arness in to Price, who was to hang it UD on the pegs in the stable.He had hung Up part of the harness, and when Brun- idge went to the door with the remainder of 1 Price fell back into his arms.This is Brundidge\u2019s version of what occurred.It was dark, and he could mot tell what Was the matter with the young man, but Supposed one of the horses had kicked him.\u20ac carried him into the house.It is said lice told his people when he was taken to the house that the horse had not ced him, and then became uncon- ICE JAM AT GALT Recent Heavy Rains Caused the Grand River to Rise.oot, Feb.14.\u2014(Special.)\u2014An ice jam ooo rred at Blair, four

City Will Also Have a New Barracks, Kingston, Ont, Feb.14.\u2014Saturday morning Hon.Dr.Borden, Minister of Militia and Defence, Mrs.Borden and Chier Engineer Weatherby, of the Militia Department, arrived in the city.\"There were several matters of imporiance necessitating Dr.Borden\u2019s presance here.Chief amoung these were the proposed changes at the Royal Military College.In view of not only the increased attendance, but also the expected further increase, it was found necessary to looz ahead towards providing further accommodation in the matter or dormitories.Dr.Borden is pleased to say that, under the present conditions, there are splendid prospects of a material increase in attendance.Col.Kitson, commandant, supplied Dr.Borden with what he considers a scheme that will successfully meet with all demands.Dr.Borden says that beyond the building of dorm- tories, it has been found necessary to erect an hospital.This will be a small detached building, set apart at a reasonable distance from the other existing buildings.It will be modern in every respect and fitted up with every necessary appliance and convenience for the use to which it will be put.In addition, a drill hall is absolutely necessary.This will likely be, provided, and will be so planned as to provide a number of rooms that will be used for purposes for which existing rooms are occupied.These rooms are required for purposes «other than those for which they are now mused.The drill hall will also be so constructed that in winter months it can be used as a skating rink, which is an aec- cominodation needed for a great number of years.The efficiency of the college and the expected increased attendance demand these improvements.Touching the proposed exchange of \u2018batteries, Dr.Borden is inclined to think the British troops will be stationed at Quebec, and that \u201cB\u201d field battery will make a sojourn at Halifax.It was pointed out by the Minister of Militia that Quebec being so much nearer Halifax than Kingston and the cost of transportation by water between Halifax amd Quebec so much cheaper than rail transportation between the far eastern port and Kingston, it favored Quebec.However, he couid not state definitely how the exchange would culminate, but he was assured there would be an exchange early in the summer.À CIVIC LOTTERY Ald.Rainville\u2019s Unique Debt-Paying Scheme, Ald.Rainville, dhairman of the Finance | Committee, has \u2018hit upon a unique scheme for the lowering of the city debt, which ils explained in the following extract from an interview given by him to the press: \u2014 \u201cI have thaought of a plan which would | enable us to repay our debt in sixty years and to economize $200,000 annually on in- \u2018terest.I refer to the plan of issuing .coupon bonds with prize lots, a plan which lis followed by the cities of Paris, Berlin land other great centres.\u201cA sinking fund is created and at stated periods a drawing is held.The holders of the lucky numbers draw prizes, which, in the case of Paris, amount sometimes to $100,000.With such an arrangement I believe we could sell 3 per cent.bonds at ja premium.'lihere is plenty of money in our banks, which does not draw more than 3 per cent.When our people can get the same returns, have a first-class investment, with the additional chance of drawing a fortune, they will rush for the bonds.It is for the people to say whether thev wish | that plan to be adapted.\u201d MONTRHAL-OTTAWA SERVICE.Beginning yesterday, a first-class sleep- ing-car service was instituted on the Canadian Pacific between Montreal and Ottawa.Sleepers will now be placed on trains leaving Windsor Station at 9.10 | p.m., and on those leaving Ottawa at 4.25 a.m.Passengers from Montreal will be :permitted to remain in the sleepers unitil 9 a.m., and returning passemgers from Ottawa will be allowed to board cars at or after 9 p.m.on the previous evening.MR.CRATHERN ENT'ERTAINS.Mr.James Crathern, president of the Board of Trade, entertained on Saturday evening the members of this and last year\u2019s council of the board.There were aro present Mr.John MeKergow, ex- president of the board, and Hon.Alphonse Desjardins, president of the Chambre de Commerce.A most enjoyable evening was spent by all.WILL SUE MR.D.L.LOCKERBY.It is understood that Dr.instructed his solicitor, Mr.W.A.Weir, to enter action in a suit for $10,000 against Mr.D.[Lockerby, for services claimed to have been rendered to Mr.Lockerby and a company in which he is interested, in connection with the promotion of a railway in the South.GUILMANT NEXT WEDNESDAY.Guilmant has had an unprecedented suc cess in his farewell tour of America so far.At Cincinnati the other day he filled the music hall which is the largest public building in the State of Ohio and where the great Cincinnati festival is held.Mons.Guilmant performs here on Wednesday next at great St.James Church.NO INVESTIGATION.The presence in Montreal of Mr.Bolduc, postoflice inspector for Quebec, gave rise to a rumor that a postoffice investigation was in progress.'lhis is not the case; everything is announced as satisfactory.De Cow has\u2019 DUTLOOK IN THE IMPERIAL HOUSE Irish Factions Are at Peace for the Moment, LIBERALS AND HOME RULE, Does Not Look as Though They Will Demand It New York, Feb.14.\u2014Cabling from London to the Tribune Mr.Ford says: The opening of Parliament was a picturesque function, but the debates were most depressing.The only foreign loan in siglit was one guaranteed by Russia, France and England for the deliverance of Greece, and this announcement was quickly followed by the withdrawal of the Russian candidate for Governor of Crete.Sir William Har- court enlarged upon the storm circle encompassing the world-wide Empire, and next day the Commons settled down to a good, old-fashioned debate on the Irish famine, just as though nothing had happened in India, the Soudan, West Africa and \u2018China, When Messrs.Davitt, Dillon and Healy had taken up their parable of the Irish distress, Mr.Redmond threw a burning brand into the Liberal camp in the form of an amendment in favor of an independent parliament for Ireland.This last episode redeemed the opening week from the charge of dulness by a display of Redmond\u2019s superiority as a tac- ticlan.He had agreed with Mr.Dillon to support the two amendments of the Anti-Parnellites if they would follow him into the division lobbies on one of his own.When his turn came he proved to be an enemy sowing tares in the field which Mr.Gladstone once thought white for the harvest.His speech was strong, subtle, almost Machiavellian, and compelled the embarrassed Liberals who voted against him to admire his supreme talent for mischief-making.Sir William Hanr- court answered with consummate skill, employing a tone of playful banter, and arguing that loyalty to Mr.Glandstone compelled the Liberals to vote against a declaration of national independence completely at variance with the priniciples of the home rule bill.Mr.Dillon also pleaded strongly against the amendment, while voting for it.Mr.Balfour entertained the House with genial satire and the division was taken.All the Liberals except Mr.Labouchere and two more, voted against the Irish contingent under the leadership of Mr.Redmond.The union of hearts had apparently been dissolved.This division is an event of real political importance, because it tends to throw the Irish members back upon their own re- soapoew and weakens the Liberal-National- let alliance.The reunion of the Irish factions becomes more probable when they are confronted with the combined opposition of the two great parties, as they were last might, and although bickerings and jealousies continue, they have formed a working alliance for the session.They have even invited Col.Saunderson to take part in a conference on Monday on the question of the financial relations between Great Britain and Ireland, but he is hardly likely to emjoy the privilege of playing Daniel in tte lion\u2019s den.The Liberals now have valid grounds for declining to give home rule the foremost place in their party programme, Mr.Redmond\u2019s taunts over the \u2018\u2018union of hearts\u201d are resented, and Liberal non-conformists are now free to follow their convictions and oppose any measure for creating a Roman Catholic university for Ireland.Sir William Har- court\u2019s speedy and Mr.Morley\u2019s hostile vote will be quoted against them as Lord Rosebery\u2019s remark about the predominant partner was used against him.The Liberals will be forced to attach less importance to home rule and to concentrate their energies upon policies which will appeal strongly to the middle classes.One of these is the reduction of the income tax to a peace level.The burdens of war taxation now fall heavily upon these classes, and what should be a reserve for a critical emergency is exhausted in time of peace.If there were diplomatic or other triumphs to show for them, these burdens would be borne without complaint; but the ministers are unable to boast of victory in any quarter, not even on the Indian frontier, where the campaign with fifty .thousand men has been grossly mismanaged, The Irish debate under Mr.Redmond\u2019s leadership may clear the air and leave the Liberals free to adopt policies in the direction of reducing war expenses in time of peace.Large expenditures will be ordered this year for new public buildings.Work will soon be begun on the war office building, which will occupy part of the site of the poor structure mow disappearing from Parliament and King Streets.This will make Whitehall the finest street in Lon.den.It is also promised that an appropriation shall be made for the completion of the South Kensington Museum.PETITION FOR NULTY It \u2018is Being Circulated, and With Great Expectations.A petition to the Minister of Justice is being circulated pleading for the life of Tom Nulty, the murdered of his three sisters and brother.The petition sets forth that during the trial there was much evidence of insanity and that a easonable doubt existing, the young murderer should be given the benefit.The petition is being signed by a very large number of people who argue that in the absence of any proven motive the murderers wee to all appeaances those of a man bereft of reason.It is confidently expected by those who are acting for the boy that the presiding judge will advise that the sentence be commuted in the Shortis case.STOKES IS DISCHARGED Mr.W.A.Weir's Contention as to Illegality of Arrest Upheld.Judge Lafontaine gave his decision this morning in the Stokes case, based on the charge against the prisoner cof having escaped from lawful custody.Considerable to the right of Magistrates and detectives to detain a citizen without warrant.After the evidence was in, the prisoner\u2019s counsel, Mr.W.A.Weir filed a factum to sustain his argument that the prisoner had a tain his argument that the prisoner had a right to escape from the gaol sergeant, as he had never been legally arrested.Judge Lafontaine this morning sustained this contention, on the ground that the rights of citizens, had to be protected and discharged the prisoner, who looked happy, this being the fourth time he was arrested withouta warrant and his fourth discharge.CHARGE AND DENIAL \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ~\u2014l Quebec's Mayor Scores Northern Railway Company, Says Improper Influen es Were Used With Council-President\u2019s Denial.Quebec, Feb.14.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The following letter will appear in the local papers this afternoon -\u2014 Great Northern Railway Co.Quebec, Feb.14.The attention of the directors of this company having been drawn to a state ment reported in the press as having been made by His Worship the Mayor at the last meeting of the City Council, to the effect that improper influences had been used to induce the Mayor and the members of the City Council to favor a loan by the city of Quebec to this company.We beg to state most emphatically that neither the directors nor the officers of this company had any knowledge of the matters referred to by His Worship.(Signed) P.GARNEAU, President.J.G.SCOTT, Secretary.The report alluded to above appeared in the Chronicle as foliows :\u2014\u2018\u201cIt is reported that a ceca railway contractor who deceived himself into supposing that Quebec had a Mayor and City Council who would sell themselves has lost some money in consequence of his action.The railway man felt so certain that it was | hard cash that was wanted to get through the Council a by-law for authorizing an exchange of bonds with the Great Northern Railway that he deposited $12,000 with a banker formerly of this city, but now in Montreal.The money was for the purpose of influencing the action of the Coun- cu.The game did not work, and then came demands for the return of the money.At first the banker was unable to produce the cash.Then he offered $7,000 in settlement of tlhe transaction, claiming that $3,000 had been paid out through a prominent political lawyer.This left $2,000 to be still accounted for, and when it was insisted that this must also be paid, he was met by the reply that unless the amount offered was accepted an accusation would be laid against him for attempted bribery.This t!.reat had the desired effect.The Mayor teMs that an attempt was also made to influence him in the matter.He was, in fact, offered $10,- 000 as a retainer to act for a year as counsel.This offer was promptly rejected.The Mayor has been led, he says, to make this expose, not only on account of the strictures of the press upon the Council for its failure to assist the Great Northern Railway, but also because of the alleged action of certain parties in falsely declaring that His Worship had been influenced in his action by the Canadian Pacific Railway.SIR OLIVER SPEAKS OF CHRISTIANITY He Says That it is Just as Popular as Ever.Toronto, Ont., Feb.14.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The circumstances attending the publication of \u201cThe Evidences of Christianity\u201d by the Hon.Oliver (now Sir Oliver) Mowat, some years ago, were recalled yesterday afternoon, when the Lieutenant-Governor gave another public expression of his faith in Christianity, in an address delivered in the University of Toronto Medical College, before à union meeting of the Young Men\u2019s Christian Associations of Toronto, and Trinity Medical Colleges, on \u2018The Evidences of Christianity.\u201d \u2018 The contention, he continued, that Christianity was a fable, and belief in it rapidly dying out, was as false as was founda- tionless.The fact that so many great and good men were believers in Christianity, did not prove it to be true, but it effeatu- ally meets the assertion of the agnostics.A great increase had taken place in the number of organizations working for tne cause of Christ, while the amount of em- ergy exerted in the cause and the spiritual enthusiasm which existed were unparalleled in the history of the world.Christianity indluded both Catholics and Protestants.QUEEN'S BENCH CASES List of Those Thct Will be Tried at Next Sitting.The following cases wiM be tried at the next sitting of the Court of

LACK OF FOOD IN THE YUKON, Capt.Ray's Report to the U.S.War Department, WILL BE MUCH SUFFERING.L - The Americans Are Afraid of the Proposed Canadian Railway, Washington, D.C., Feb.14.\u2014The War Department has made public the advices \u2018received from Capiain P.H.Ray, of the Eighth Infantry, who was sent to Alaska to report on conditions in the mining country.\u2018The reports say that trouble is threatened at various places and that there is serious danger at some points from lack of food.On the food question Captain Ray says: \u2014 \u201cThe question of food there is a very serious one, and the action of the North American Trading and Transportation Company is causing much friction.I use my best endeavors to reconcile all differences peaceably, and geit all people who are without provisions down to Fort Yukon &s soon as possible, where there is an abundance of food.\u201cl learn that while food is scarce in Dawson City, the miners in the outlying camps are fairiy well supplied.The stores are selling very conservatively.The ealing houses are all closed save one.While I consider the situation critical, I do not believe there will be any great loss of life beyond that incident to a climate §0 rigorous as this.\u201cThat there will be much suffering along the rivers and the trail, owing to the rashness and ignorance of people unaccustomed to this climate, mo well informed person will deny.\u201d A report dated Circle City, October 6, deals with the subject of miners\u2019 meet- \u2018ings, several of which Captain Ray attend- led.The first took place the night he landed at Circle City, when he found that a committee of miners had taken charge of the boat Dixon and were about to discharge her cargo.\u201cGreat injury will result to the commercial interests along this great highway if some radical steps are not taken to protect all persoms from such interference with d¢heir legitimate business.At the same time there should be some power to force common carriers to tramsport goods for any person offering, \u201cAt the present time neither of the transportation companies will tramsport a pound of freight for other traders or private parties, forcing all people coming into the territory to be wholly dependent upon their stores for their supplies, at their prices.\u201cThis failure on the part of the trams- poration companies to put into \u2018the mining districts a sufficient supply of food has not only given a serious check to the mining interests and caused great suffering but has destroyed all confidence among the people here in their ability to supply the demand by this route.| \u201cThe people here are mow afraid that the failure of the river route for freight will cause the construction of a railroad through British Nortk America to the Yukon River, above the boundary, and that the mining districts of Alaska will be dependent for supplies om a route through a foreign country, with all this means an the way of discrimination in favor of the British merchant.\u201d HIGHWAYS IN ALASKA.Americans Will Surround all Outsiders With Restrictions, \u2018Washington, Feb.14.\u2014The Senate Committee on public lands spent Saturday in remodelling the bill granting right of way to highways through Alaskan territory.The scope of the bill has been so extended as to make it practically a general measure covering land problems in Alaska and some of the matters considered are even outside of public land questions.Notably so is a proposition looking to the extension of the bonded districts for Canadian goods.The Canadians are asking this Government to extend the bonded limit up the Stickeen River to Glenora, and an amendment has been prepared to the bill under consideration, which would make the granting of ihis request dependent upon the acquiescence of the Canadian Government in the requests of American citizens for right of way for railways into the Klondike country, which.would connect with American steamships at American ports, which they have so far refused.It is believed to be the purpose of the Canadians to build a railway from Glenora and Lake Teslin and there connect directly with steamers for Dawson City, and there is understood to be a bill pending in the Canadian Parliament for the chartering of this project.Some of the members of the committee think the privilege of the extension of the bonded limit should mot be granted except for wmeciprocal favors from the Canadians.It is also proposed to incorporate in the same amendment a provision making the granting of the extension dependent upon the extension of the bonding privilege to American fishermen engaged on the Atlantic sea coast.This amendment was not considered at length to-day, but it will receive attention at the next meeting.It is said that the ämerdment has the endorsement of the Treasury Department.Another amendment which has been offered is one prohibiting the manufacture or importation of intoxicating liquors within the territory of Alaska.Senator Hambrough, chairman of the commitéce, is the author of this amendment.It received some attention at the hands of the committee at its sitting Saturday, but the sense of the committee was not taken on its merits.Many other amendments were passed upon, but all of them related to the details of land administration, and none of them was of great importance in themselves.REFUSAL CAUSED SENSATION.Vancouver, B.C., Feb.14.\u2014The sensation of the year in mining circles is the offer made Saturday by Messrs.Mackenzie & Mann, contractors for the Stickeen River Railway, to Provincial Mineralogist | Carlyle.They urged him to throw up hie Company, gineer, to take change of the prospecting of the 4,000,000 acres of mineral lands in the Yukon granted them by the Dominion Government for building the Xlondike Railway.It is understood Mr.Carlyle refused this offer, at the salary of a British Minister, because he felt himself bound to accept the position offered by the Brit.igh- American corporation to become its mining manager.TLis corporation owns rich properties in Rossland, Boundary Creek, Nelson, East Kootenay and else where.In a few months it has spent $1,- 500,000 in purchasing Rossland mines alone.BUYING REINDEER.London, Feb, 14.\u2014Lieut.D.B.Devore, military secretary of the United States Secretary of War, who has been purchasing reindeer, has arnived here from Norway on \u2018his way \u2018to the United States.The United States consul at Christiania assumed the settlement of the claims for 20,000 crowns due for the 300 to 400 reindeer purdhased, but unpaid for by Lieutenant Devore, and, as cabled on February 9th, declined until the lieutenant could furnish security.Lieutenant Devore said the promoters of a private reindeer expedition to the Klondike had tried to frustrate the Government project, thereby greatly increasing the expense.EN ROUTE TO KLONDIKE.Toondon, Feb, 14.\u2014The Canadian Pacific steamship Athenian sailed from Southampton Saturday dor Vancouver, with a fair passenger list, and full caigo.of freight.The Canadian Pacific steamship Tartar passed Teneriffe on Thursday night.SMUGGLERS AT CORNWALL Operations are Carried on From Both Sides of the River.Cornwall, Feb.14.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The ice bridge across the St.Lawrence at this point makes it very easy for the smugglers to elude the customs officers.Large quantities of coal oil and tobacco are being taken into Canada every day, and the officials have their hands more than full.The other day Customs Officer Crites captured a resident of Fast Cornwall with a sleigh load of oil, cigars and tobacco.The stuff was confiscated and the smuggler fined, Nor is all the smuggling done cne way.The other day a large number of Americans from the villages of Northern New York were in téwn and made extensive purchases of Canadian goods.Just as they were about starting for home an American customs officer drove in amongst them.He was glad to see so many of his countrymen, but to judge by their facial expression the pleasure was all on his side.ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.The treasurer of the Montreal General Hospital

Darwin's Theory of Origin Pointed Out.The announcement that Dean Carmichael would -reply to Prof.MacBride\u2019s lecture on \u201cSome animal histories amd their meaning,\u201d drew to St.George's Church last evening a congregation that filled the edifice to the doors.Dean Carmichael took for his text the first four words of the first verse of the first chapter of Genesis, \u201cIn the beginning, God.\u201d \u201cIt has often been claimed,\u201d began the Dean, \u201cby thos¢ whose appreciation of their own scientific knowledge is satisfactory to themselves that the clergy are accustomed to vagueness and want of idens, and that they show an indisposition to come to close grip with many questions that press heavily om the laity.The reference is to scientific hypotheses, questions as to the origin and development of animals, the origin and development of life, the origin and development of man and many other questions arising out of the scientific study of origin.The charge is scarcely justifiable, because members of any class or corporation are not expected to perform work outside of that class.The clergy are not set apart to lecture on science, or to reconcile conflicting scientific views.They are set apurt to preach the word of God and to guard it.The only reason for a departure from this is when the word is assailed, its teachings denied or misinterpreted.Then they are naturally bound to defend that word.\u201d Intelligence in Creation.The figure of the watch and its maker Was used by Paley, said the Dean, to show the mecessity for the existence of an intelligent Creator.The mechanism of the watch implied the existence of an intelligent maker, so the universe implied the exi of an intelligent Creator.Today the figurative basis of his argument Enlds good, for what we do know of the sniverse would lead us to suppose that some mighty mind forecast it, instituted laws for its creation, set those laws in motion, and through them created the universe, The universe must have been thought out, intended, forecast, and the evidence is that a majestic intelligence, brighter than the universe itself, called the universe into existence.Matter, force tand law, the preacher continued, are elements of universe-making.But such an admission, fhe held, did not interfere with the idea of an intelligence ir creation Matter and force imply thought.Force, matter and law, it has been admitted by all scientists are unintelligent, where then does intelligence come in?We cannot possibly have order apart from intelligence, and we cannot have intelligence apart from mind.Hence the mind that gave order to the universe must have been grander and greater than the universe itself.Limitations of Natural Selection.With reference to life, animnl, vegetable and human, it is said that forms ure due to the operations of the laws of nature, preeminent among which is the law of natural pelection.Such a view does not of necessity do away with divine presence in life.Life amd the laws of life must have been in some great mind from the beginning so that the laws of life would be appropriate for that life.natural selection must be divine.But the law of matural selection, he held, must have its limitations.The existence of the law was not denied by those who refused to accept the theory of evolution, but it is controlled or balanced by another law, the law of natural protection which protects the weakest from destruction.Another restraint upon the law of natural selection was the law of equalization.The law of natural protection is illustrated by the care of a tigress for her weakest cub, and the love of the mother for her weakest child.The working of the law of equalization was seen in death, through which the sirong and the weak were brought to a level.So them the law of natural selection could mot be the main factor in accounting for wll the forms of life, Accident in Evolution.That there is order in earth, air, sea and sky cannot be denied, How did it come?Order must imply mind.lévolu- tionists say that order is {hie result of the blind operation of natural laws.Such a view of evolution taught that the eye, the rose, the ear, and the other organs of the human body were unintentional.Unintended changes took place in our animil ancestors and resulted in these human organs.Man then, according to this theory, has a combination of most useful organs that were never intended to be what they are.1t was fortunate for man that luis animal ancestors were not always subject to the opemalvion of the laws of the evolutionist.There is nothing that is, says the evolutionist, that might not have been, as far as\u2019 intention is concerned, something else.\u201cI hold,\u201d said the Dean, \u201cthat the clergy are not scientific professors, but teachers amd guardians of the Gospel.Hence their silence arises, not from their ignorance or their indisposition to come to «lose grip with great questions, but from their appreciation of the fact that it is their duty to teach dogma, and not speculation.\u201d A Protest Against Intoleramce.Darwin was quoted as admitting that he had adduced no theory against which facts could mot be brought, and in the light of this admission the preacher said it was scarcely fair to imply that thos who cannot receive evolution are poor, nervous, cowardly people whose grip of a subject is always weak.Lord Kelvin was quoted as saying that a careful review of nature had led him to believe that al living things depend upon an everlasting creator.The opinion of Sir William Mwson was also given to the effect that evolution is not a philosophy, but a pernicious delusion.\u201cI hold, then,\u201d continued the Dean, \u201cthat as there is a wide gulf between the opinions of leading scientific men on this question, mo scientific writer should seek to leave upon his reader the ASK your grocer for Hl For Table and Pairy, Purest and Best | In that sense the law of : impression.thæt evolution is a setted fact, and that only the weak and nervous and cowardly do mot accept ät.Not only is evolution not a settled fact, but ity great prinemple of the law of naturel gelection is unproved.Herbert Spencer objected to it on the ground that it accounted for neither thee begunning nor the development of matural life.I am thankful to God that the clergy do not seek to embroil their congregations in the scientific controversies scientists have among themselves.\u201cThe end of the controversy will be aq the end of all controversies.Something valuable will be gleaned.Men will know many things they know not now.This ascertained knowledge will be for good, and out of all will come fresh evidence of the truth of my text, \u2018In the beginning, God.\u201d \u201d\u2019 : CAN CURE PNEUMONIA The Important Discovery by Two Brooklyn Physicians.Several Cases Have Been Dealt With Successfully.ry New York, Feb.14.\u2014Two physicians of have made a discovery which will enable them to cure pneumonia in its worst stages and revolutionize the treatment of the disease.Dr.Charles Lundbeck, of No.107 Bergen Street, and Dr.Carl Elfstrom, of State street, are the physicians.They have spent years in research and study in trying to find a cure for the dread disease.Ur.Lundbeck, however, desires it to be distinctly understood that Dr.Elfstrom is the real discoverer of this remedy, which has already been tried with success in restoring patients to health, and that he was associated with him in developing the remedy.Dr.Lundbeck and Dr.Elfstrom are both natives of Sweden.I saw Dr.Lund- beck at his home in Bergen street last night.\u201cI wish you would eay for Dr.Elfstrom and myself,\u201d he said, \u201cthat it is not our intention to make this a money making affair, and that we are seeking no credit for the remedy.We will give it freely bo our professional brethren.But at present the matter is only in the experimental stage, or at least we wish it so understood, although we both have faith in its ! success, patients, but we would \u2018have liked to have had more results before thes matter become known to the public.In such cases too much is expected at the start, and it makes a doctor fear that his position is misunderstood.1 will give you as much information as I possibly can on the sub- | ject now that it thas been made public.\u201cThe remedy is not exactly an antitoxine, but something like it.The idea is to destroy one germ of disease by attacking it with another germ, which will, as we ex- peot, be fatal to it.The method we use is to secure from the patient what is like an anti-toxine, and this is hypodermically injected.I wish I could be more specific, but I cannot give the details in full just at present.! \u201cWe have found that what is%ike antitoxine must be secured from the patient, because the bacillus has greater or less longevity in different patients, and #t requires different treatment in such cases.Our method, to be as plain as possible, is the introduction of one poison to offset another poison.The cases we have treated thus far show that our method is swecessful in introducing a poison that kills the bacillus of pneumonia and eventually restores the patient to health.I cannot, of course, mention the names of any patients, because that would be violating the honor of the profession.\u201cI can say that we had ome particularly delicate case to treat\u2014that of a woman.She had not only pneumonia in its worst form, but also meningitis, and her kidneys were affected.Her temperature was ; 104 when the treatment was begun.In twenty-four hours it was down to 99, and in a few hours later it was 98.She has been restored to health.However, 1 wish we had had time to treat more cases before the matter was made public.\u201cWe are about to begin treatment at the hospitals, where there is a greater opportunity to obtain results.Of course, you know there never was a remedy for disease which could show one hundred per time, and under any conditions, We only say that we believe we have discovered and developed a remedy in which we have tne fullest faith, and which we hope will help humanity.We will only be too glad to give it to every physician, and we tiope to do so in a very short time.\u201d disposition, told me that he shunned publicity and would have rather gone without receiving the slightest credit than have his discovery made known at this time.\u201cIt would be impossible for me at present,\u201d he said, \u201cto explain the method of treatment.It is too early.I will tell all in a very short time.I am not seeking fame or money for the discovery.What it will bring about in the way of curing patients suffering from pneumonia, will be record enough for me.\u201d who was presemt at the interview, agreed with Dr.Elfstrom that the hospitals were the best places to get good resutvs from the remedy.Dr.Byrne has had considerable hospital experience, and he said the help of trained nurses and constant observation would aid the doctors in recordig acourate- ly the results of the remedy.RUSH FOR FERTILE LANDS.Quebec, Fet., 12,\u2014-Mr, Rene Dupont, Colonization Agent of the Quebec & Lake St, John Railway, returned a day or two ago from the County of Charlevoix, Mr.Dupont reports that he will have a large number of colonists tor the Lake St, John district next year, In all the pari-hes a large number of the farmers are talking of leaving to establish their sons in the fertile region

Colonel Picquart was then permitted to eddress the jury.He said : \u201cYou have heard M.Henry, Major Lauth and Major Paty du Clam bring abominable charges against me.All the steps I took in this matter had not been forgotten.I believed it was expedient to introduce light end justice into the affair for which I was cverwhelmed with insults.I am the vie- tim of good faith, and I have to pay for the propriety of my conduct and for my ettachment to the cause I consider just.\u201d After a heated altercation between the presiding judge and M.Laborie, regarding some dates, M.Henry surprised the court by affirming that the document with the words, \u201cThat scoundrel D,\u201d had Ro connection with Dreyfus, but belonged to a different lot.The real Dreyfus pa- Pers, witness admitted, he had

M.Zola\u2019s article as being the \u201cact of a great-hearted, brave man.\u201d dm an author, gave similar tes- a pures, the Socialist deputy, follow- en e criticised the Government general- ¥, and attributed the secrecy at the Ester- cay court-martial to the necessity for con- \u20acaling the contradiction in the opinions of the ex .1 in 1894 and 1897, on the bor- oroontiming, M.Jaures charged

and for \u201cdragging the general staff\u201d from its miserable irresponsibility, which is paving the way for future disasters.M.Bertilion, the handwriting expert, testified that Dreyfus wrote the

Candidate Speaks at An Opposition Meeting.Summerstown, Feb.12.\u2014As election day draws near the interest in the political fight in Ælengarry is growing more keen, and each of the three candidates in the field is prosecuting w vigorous campaign.A meeting was held here last night in the interest of Mr.D.R.McDonald, the Conservative candidate, and was well attended by the electors of both sides of politics.The chair was occupied by Mr.C.W.Craig and an invitation was extended to the opposing candidates or their representatives to take part in the discussion, and in response Mr.R.Smith, of Cornwall, took the platform im behalf of the Government candidate, Mr.D.C.McRæe.Mr.McPherson was not represented.The candidate, Mr.D.R.McDonald, was supported on ithe platform by Messrs.Pringle, Gibbons, Cameron and McLennan, of Cornwall, all of whom were given a good hear- img.and urged upon the electors the desirability of returning Mr.McDonald as their next representative in the Legislature.Mr.Smith who was allowed twenty minutes to address the meeting was also well received, and in the short time at his disposal, made a capital speech in behalf of the Government and Mr.D.C.McRae.The meeting closed with the usual cheers for the Queen and candidate.In = circular letter which Mr.D.M.Mec- Pherson a short time ago addressed to the electors of the county, he stated that he bad the support and sympathy of the Hardy Government, and all their supporters.This assertion caused some of Mr.MePherson\u2019s friends to claim that he, and not Mr.D.C.McRae, was the recognized standard-bearer of the Government.To effectually settle this point, the Freeholder and Glengarry News to-day publish a telegraphic despatch from Hon.A.S.Hardy to the effect that Mr.D.C.McRae, as the nominee of the Liberal convention, is the recognized and accepted candidate of the Government.POINT ST.CHARLES NEWS el Bazaar Open Tonight\u2014Argyles Give a Ladies\u2019

10th.Dr.Thomas\u2019$ father was judge of the Springfield circuit court.Lincoln and Douglas continually pleaded before him durzg the migratory assizes.Douglas was at that time slender as well as short in stature.He had a brilliant eye, ruddy features, and was rather vain of his unusually youthful appearance.\u201cAs Mr.Douglas was dining with us one day,\u201d says Dr.Thomas, \u201cit was suggested that we should al visit a circus, then in town, in the afternoon.\u201cI would be glad to go, judge,\u201d said Mr.Douglas, \u201cbut it would cost me two bits and I have only one.\u201d \u2018Never mind,\u201d said my father, \u2018I'll pass you in as one of my boys at half-price, and no one will suspect the difference.\u2019 And this was actually done, much to the amusement of all parties.\u201d \u201cWhen I first saw Mr.Lincoln,\u201d says Dr.Thomas, \u2018he was sitting on a dry goods | box at night, in one of the village stores, his long legs dangling down in front.He was holding a tallow candle in one hand, and in the other a copy of the New York Weekly Tribune, from which he was reading to the bystanders.The ungainly form, the drowsy eye, fhe sallow, rugged and rather gloomy features contrasted strongly and unprepossessingly with the alert figure and sparkling, buoyant and symmetrical countenance of his contemporary (Douglas), already recognized as his rival.\u201d Dr.Thomas\u2019s recollections of the two men are fresh, and make them stand out vividly before the reader.THE VICTORIAN ORDER OF NURSES MEMORIAL FUND.In view of the fact that the provisional constitution of the Victorian Order of Nurses is now in print, and that Miss Macleod, the lady superintendent, has recently visited Montreal, in order to im- augurate the work, the finance committee would urge all friends of the movement to gend in their subscriptions to the treu- surer, Mr.A.M.Crombie, as soon as possible.A committee of ladies has undertaken to select suitable quarters for the three nurses who are about to commence work in our dity, and, within a few weeks, district nursing will also be in operation in Halifax, St.John, Ottawa and Toronto.Those of our ditizens, who have objected to the scheme, on the ground of its vastness, vagueness, and impracticability, will find all their objections met and answered by the constitution itself, wherein the real aims and objects of the order are clearly and succinctly set forth.The people of Montreal will have no excuse for misapprehension in regard to a work, which is actually going on in their midst, and about which they can procure every information.ms POTATOES CONFISCATED W.J.Murphy, market inspector, confiscated twenty-five bags of potatoes Saturday on Colborne street, for being under weight, the twenty-five bags averaging 66 lbs., per bag, and had them distributed among the Little Sisters of the Poor, Montreal General Hospital and Notre-Dame Hospital: THE HERALD, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1898 A FARMER STOLE WHEAT FROM CARS And Was Sentenced to Serve Two Months in Jail.Valleyfield, Teb.14.\u2014(Special.)\u2014For over a year Messrs.Lesperance & Co.millers, here, have been finding a shortage in all their cars of wheat which have come over the Canada Atlantic Railway, and though efforts have been made to discover where the leakage ocourred, they were unable to do so.Last week they purchased three cars from McDonald & Robb here, who had received the same from Kingston.On measurement the cars were found to be about twenty bushels shont.Messrs, Me- Donald & Robb had never had a shor.age in any of their cars before, and could not account for the present one, but the mystery was cleared up in a rather unexpected manner.On Wednesday morning, Mr.O.Savage, who fives in the vicinity of the i Canada Atlantic Railway track, brought several bags of wheat to McDonald & Robb\u2019s mill.Mr.Atkinson, the manager, on examining the same, at once saw that it was the missing wacat.He told Savage they were very buwv gust then, and asked him to call round a little later, and he would empty his bags for him.Mr.Atkinson then telephoned to Mr.Robb, who came from the office to the mill.The bags were then emptied, but when MY.Savage tame to get the same they asked him to leave them, and they could let him have them when he got his flour.A warrant was then issued for this arrest, but when Chief of Police Leduc went to serve the same, Savage could not be found.Provincial Detective Poirrer was then put on his track, and late in the afternoon discovered the prisoner hiding in a straw stack on Grand Island.Savage was brought before Recorder Papineau on Friday morning, and at once pleaded guilty, throwing himself on the mercy of the court.He was sentenced to two months\u2019 bard labor.Mr.Archambault represented Savage, N.Brossoit the C.A.R., and T.Brossoit Messrs.McDonald & Robb and Lesperance & Co.Great praise is due Detective Poirrer for his arrest.Messrs.Lesperance & Co.have had a shortage in their cars during the past year of about three hundred bushels.On Wednesday evening, at a meeting of the Town Council, Town Clerk Joron resigned his office, and Mr.Lavimodiere, notary, of Valleyfield, was appointed in his stead.Jd RENEREW POLITICS | te rt vt + wipe Excite Less Interest Than Dodd's Kidney Pills\u2019 Fight With Disease, Township Clerk Caskey Cured of Kid ney Disease\u2014Fell Down With the Pain-Dodd\u2019's Kidney Pills Worked Complete and Lasting Cure.Arnprior, Feb.13.\u2014In the county of Renfrew, the coming elections for the Ontario Legislature do mot excite such deep and widespread interest as is being taken in the contest between Kidney Diseases end Dodd\u2019s Kidney Pills.This struggle has never for a moment been in doubt as to the result since it began, Every \u201cbout\u201d has ended in favor of Dodd\u2019s Kidney Pills.Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Rheumatism, Dropsy, Lumbago, Sciatica, Neuralgia, all Urinary and Bladder Troubles, Diseases of Women and all Blood Impurities yield quickly and surely bo the magical influence of Dodd\u2019s Kidney ills.And in every instance, where Dodd's Kidney Pills have been used, the disease lias been cured.Dodd\u2019s Kidney Pills bear exactly similar relation to all Kidney Dis cases, as anti-toxine does to Diphtheria\u2014 they are an infallible cure.The case of Mr.James Caskey, clerk of Ramsay township, has been the principal topic of conversation for some days past.But any one case of a cure by Dodd\u2019s Kidney Pills is no ecomer reported, than another is made known, and so it goes.Speaking of his experience with Dodds Kidney Pills, the says: \u201cI suffered for years with severe pains across my back.\u201d (Denoting diseased kidneys.) \u201cAt times these pains were so \u2018bad that I would fall down.They were accompanied by great constitutional weakmess.\u201cAfter commencing the use of Dodd\u2019s Kidney Pills, I felt immediate relief.This was followed by a complete cure.I have not felt my old trouble since.\u201d Dodd\u2019s Kidney Pills are sold by all druggists at fifty cernits a box, six boxes $2.50, or will be sent, on receipt of price, by The Dodds Medicine Co, Limited, Toronto, nt.TROUBLESOME KRUGER.His Re-election Does Not Tend to Settle South African Affairs.New York, February 14.\u2014A London despatch to the Evening Post says: \u2018Paul Kruger\u2019s triumphant return to the presidency of the Transvaal, though expected, is of course not pleasant news for Englishmen, for the expectation is that he will persist in refusing, as long as he dare, the internal changes which Mr.Chamberlain long ago demanded on behalf of British capital in mining enterprises, and will pursue a line hostile to the British resolve to preserve supremacy in South Africa.\u201cThe first test of his intentions and real strength is the struggle now pending be~ tween him and Chief Justice Kotze.Asa part of a long prepared plan, Justice Kotze submitted on the eve of last week\u2019s election, an ultimatum to President Kruger, claiming the right of the high court to revise and set aside the legislation of the Volksraad.The truce between the President and the Bench, which Chief Justice Villiers, of Cape Town, arranged, is now ended, If President Kruger refuses to inevitable, out of which many developments may come, at once or later.\u2018Meanwhile, by its new constitution, Rhodesia secures the machinery of an FEng- lish erown colony\u2014that is, a legislative council, partly elected by the people and partly nominated by the Imperial Government.The Chartered Company is restricted to commercial business, relinquishing to the new legislative council and the Imperial Government its civic and military functions.Messrs.Rhodes and Belt take the places of the Duke of Fife and Lord Farquhar on the Board of the company, and Mr.Rhodes keeps a firm hold on the politics of Cape Colony, which really is the key of the British position.This is, in outline, the plan of campaign on behalf of British supremacy in South Africa, the facts of which as yet are unknown here, except in little driblets, and this plan is to fit in with a firm British hold on the sourees of the Nile, on Niger- land and the interior, so as to keep British lines intact from Cairo to the Cape and from West Africa to the Red Sea.It is a bold game and France is the only foreign power that can seriously hamper or imperil its consummation.rt rite.amps \u2014 Allans\u2019 steamship Siberian sailed from Philadelphia at noon on

shuffle at Smith\u2019s, Falls, Ont., and as a result of it two employees of the Dominion Express Company are under suspension.On the occasion in question the train from Brockville arrived with five express packages of money for Montreal.Joseph Halfpenny, the agent at Smith\u2019s Falls, sorted out the packages for the east.put them in a bag, and left them on top of the safe.The travelling messenger who had brought the packages from Brockville was present, and slept all night in the station, Mr.Halfpenny was absent from the station for only a few minutes, but when the messenger took charge of the bags he reported that one bag of money was missing.He was at once suspended, and Mr.Halfpenny\u2019s suspension fo)lowed.No suspicion whatever attaches to Mr.Halfpenny.Carelessness is the only charge against him.\u2018 NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY.The programme arranged by the Natural History Society of Montreal for its half- hour lecture series is as follows:

or Maine, which has to do with the Klondike trade.The provisions of the bill are not of themselves particularly disturbing to Cenada, but bearing in mind the Senator's well-known enti-Brit- ish proclivities, it is not difficult ¢o find in them that which may give rise to trouble later on.The bill provides that any foreign vessels arriving in United States waters shall report to the nearest collector or deputy collector, and shall not, on penalty af seizube and confiscation, proceed any further inland or transfer her cargo or passengers to another vessel without a special permit from the customs officer.The permit is to be issued subject to regu- ations made from time to time by the Secretary of the Treasury, Ostensibly the bill is introduced for the purpose of preventing Canadian vessels from engaging in a coasting trade between American ports, but as this is an occupation already illegal there does not seem to be adequate occasion for the introduction by Mr.Frye of this more comprehensive measure.Looking for other reasons for its introduction, it is not difficult to surmise what they may be.It is scarcely concealed that the bill is to hamper Canadians in the navigation of the Stickeen and Yukon rivers, where those rivers are in United States territory.The bill is, therefore, a sort of counter-stroke against the Canadian Government's all-Canadian route to the Klondike.The Stickeen-Teslin Railway will undoubtedly draw the great bulk of the trade for the Klondike by that route.Few travellers will be found willing to take the risks of the mountain passes, long foot journeys, and dangerous water trips when they can get comfortable and quick pas- sage \u2018by boat and rail to the head of Tes- \u2018lin Lake and boat passage in safe waters from there to Dawson.Wrangel, the port at the mouth of the Stickeen, is therefore certain in the near future to receive the bulk of the business now done at Dyea and Skagway.\u2018There is, however, this consideration, from the American point of view, that Wrangel does not afford the same facilities as Dyea and Skagway for discriminating against Canadian cities in favor of \u2018Seattle Between Dyea and the undisputed Camadian boundary there is a strtp of American territory over which merchandise has to be carried, and Canadians are subjected to inconveniences involving the payment of duties according to the American tariff and delays in getting back the money so paid.But at Wrangel Cavadian vessels will be in waters the free navigation of which is guaranteed to them by the treaties of St.Petersburg and Washington.Canadian vessels, it is proposed, shall there meet Canadian river boate and exchange passengers end freight.Mr.Frye's purpose seems to be to interfere with this proceeding.Whether or mot Canadians would huve anything to complain of under bis law would depend on the nature of the regulations.It would no doubt be quite possible to discriminate against Canada by imposing onerous charges upon the Uan- adian vessels transferring cargoes at the Wrangel docks, In the event of such measures \u2018being employed, Canadians would have several courses open to them.They might resort to Port Simpson which is in Canadian territory, and depend upon river boats from there to Telegraph Creek on the Stickeen.There is a somewhat dangerous ocean stretch of about sixty miles across Dixon\u2019s Inlet, which makes this method undesirable, but Mr.Jennings tells us that the Hudson\u2019s Bay boats have utilized it.This would obviate the mneces- sity for calling at Wrangel at all.Senator Frye seems to \u2018have had this alternative in mind, for his bill provides that vessels from other than United States ports cannot - proceed inland without a special permit.This is obviously in direct opposition to the tenor of the treaty, for if free Navigation is made dependant upon a permit of a customs otticer the navigation is not free at all.There might be no objection to such measures as are necessary to ensure that only British vessels shall use the river, but to make funther navigation of the river depend upon the issuance of a permit would be to practically override the treaty.To override a treaty by a statute was attempted last year by Congressman Towne and the western railways, and the attempt was defented by the United States Executive.Nor, of course, would it be permitted, without challenge, by the other parties to the treaty.The action of the Senator from Maine is interesting to (Canadians chiefly as an indication of an unwholesome disposition to reflect the eelfish views of Seattle im the legislation of the republic.The New York Tribune, the leading Republican organ, in discussing the Canadian railway project, expostulated with those Americans who not only want liberty to take all the Ca- radian gold they can get, but who strive aldo to discriminate ngaînst Canadian goods.The advantages derivable from the fact that the goldfields are within the Canadian boundary, the Tribune points out, are advantages by which the Canadian Government \u2018have every right to profit.We cannot but think that thie view will prevail in whatever deliberations may take place at Washington.If, however, the contrary should prove to be the case, adequate provision thas been made by the Ca nadian Government to meet the emergency.Besides our treaty rights to mavi- gote the Stickeen, Canada has still another string to her bow.Ewen though the \u2018Stickeen were mot available yet the plan for a Canadian route would mot fail.As the London Times pointed out the Canadian Government must be supposed to have considered wll these phases of the subject.Certain it is that there is provision mede for the extension of the Stickeen-Teslin railway soutihywards, through Canadian territory to a Canadian ocean port.If, for reasons which do not appear, the route by way of Wrangel be impeded, it will simply mean that the railway will have to be pughed south at once, and {hat Wrangel, inetead of being the scene of great activity in shipping, will have to yield its place to a Canadian port farthér' south.The lightering privilege has adways been conceded at St.Michael\u2019s, and there is mo reason to believe it will be contested at Wran- gel.A good case may be made out that leave to transfer goods from one Canadian vessel to another, without going tmto dock, is past of a reasonable interpretation of the right to free navigation.But with the pecuniary advantages to be derived by the pont from the use of the docks and the availability of Port Simpson, there is some ground for hoping that this point will not be raieed.Senator Frye\u2019s bill, however, must be taken as one more indication that a Klondike milway within Canadian territory is a pressing necessity, and as a proof that the Government have acted wisely in ensuring its prompt construction.\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE COMMITTEES OF COUNCIL.Mayor Prefontaine ie to be warmly congratulated upon the very marked expres sion of confidence in \u2018him shown by the new Council.Mr.Prefontaine has been so long identified with the Committee on Roads that it was only a graceful act on the part of the newly-elected aldermen to appoint to that committee men who were known to be well disposed towards the Mayor, and willing to give him openhearted assistance in the prosecution of great measures for the city\u2019s welfare.It was a striking tribute to the new Mayor that the members of his old committee, with whose assistance he has done so much in the past, have been continued in the enjoyment of the confidence of their colleagues.The Roads Committee consists of Ald.Brunet, who has been all along known to be the Mayor's candidate for the position; Ald.Ouimet, Dupre and Wilson, who have fought many a hard battle under Mr.Prefontaine\u2019s able leadership; Ald.Gallery, who is willing to win his spurs as a follower of the same leader; Ald.Tur- ver, whose reputation as one of the strong men of the Council must have won him the consideration of the Mayor and his colleagues; and Ald.Martineau, the one member of the committee to whom the general public can look with reasonable hope that he will take the larger and better view of public affairs.The expenditure of the Roads Department, without any\u2019 allowance for such schemes as may crop up, is a little over a quarter of a million-and then there will be schemes.The good government forces are to.De felicitated, and no less warmly upon having secured an absolutely dominating in- finence in the Parks and Ferries Committee, which will have supervision of the expenditure of almost $14,000.Recognizing the importance of seeing that so vast a sum should be properly administered, nearly all the successful good government candidates were reserved for it.Ald.Ames himself was made chairman, and for associates he was given Ald.Laporte, Gagnon, Clearihue and Roy, to say nothing of Ald.Stevenson and Lareau.Taken as a whole it must certainly be considered the best committee of Couneil s0 fau as acceptability to the public is concerned.It also has the merit of being acceptable to the Mayor, because it ensures the careful expenditure of almost fourteen thousand dollars, and leaves him free to devote himself to guiding the destinies of the Roads Committee, whose membership, while equally acceptable to him as an impartial Mayor, will be sure to make large demands upon bis time and avail itself of bis large experience.\u2018The interesta of the city would be vastly better served if the committees were just transposed, but the change would not suit the Mayor so well.The protest against the supposed design of squeezing the English aldermen out of chaitmanships was effectual, and resulted in the selection of Ald.Stevenson, who has effectually demonstrated his incapacity as chairman of the Fire Committee, to be chairman of that committee again, and in the choice of Ald.Kinsella, who has distinguished hiifiself on the Roads Committee, to be chairman of the Water Commit- : tee.Ald.Laporte, whose services entitled him to every consideration, has got neither | a chairmanship mor a position on the Finance or Roads Committee.An alderman of his stamp should have been preferred before most of those who were chosen, and the impression cannot be avoided that it was for this very veason that his name does not get a place.With Mr.Ames on the Police and Fire Committees, and with Mr.Gagnon on the Water Committee, Mr.Laporte may yet be able to do very valuable work for the city.But none the less are our congratula- tione extended to the new Mayor.The composition of the Roads and Parks Committees is a work of art.NOTES AND COMMENT.The selection of the Roads Committee shows how much Mayor Prefontaine has agreed to be a mere figurehead.Ald.Brumet, Wilson, Ouimet, Dupre and Gallery constitute a solid Prefontaine majority on the Roads Committee.The way Ald.Tapor Laporte got \u201cthrown down\u201d in the Prefontaine caucus is the best tribute to bis usefulness to the city.The aldermen who supported Mr.Pre- fontaine for Mayor just to be rid of him are finding out that he is still on hand.The Mayor will agree to having the Parke committee reformed, so long as the Roads committes is satisfactory to his ideas, Ald.Martineau has a great chance to distinguish himself on the Roads Committee, But he will have to do it single handed.The good government forces have control of the Police, Fire and Water Committee They should set about shaking up these departments at once.The selection of Ald.Gallery for membership on the Roads Committee was a striking evidence of the Mayor's regard for the new alderman.It is all very well to \u201csee that justice is done to his English-speaking confreres,\u201d but a mayor has to \u201csee that justice is done to his own requirements too.\u201d The Finance Committee does not look to be too well constituted, but there is not the same aspect of unanimity about it that distinguishes the Roads committee.The Gazette announces that the English- speaking alderman were given their proportionate representation on all the important committees, Their proportion on the Roads committee, is made up of Ald.Turner and Gallery, and the Roads is the most important committee of all.The excelent article which appeared in The Herald on Saturday by Mr.W.D Gregory on \u201cMunicipal Toronto\u201d was taken from \u2018The Outlook, New York, which gives a great deal of attention to municipal! problems.The Waterloo Advertiser says of the Yukon contract: \u201cThe contractors in faot incur great risks with the chance of great profits.So far as the country is concerned the contract will attain what is imperatively necessary, that is, easy and rapid communication with the Yukon gold-fields, making their development possible under gafe conditions and diverting the immense \\ trade thet must result from the rush of population to the Klondike into Canadian channels, That is the point of view which most concerns Canadiam merchambs, manufacturers, farmers, and, indeed, all classes, The Government has acted throughout with commendable promptness and zeal, and with an Bye single 0 te public interests.There will be some kicking from disappointed (private interests over the Mackenzie and Mann contract.No less than thirty applications were coming before Parliament for Yukon railway charters, but the bargain the Government has made anticipates and heads them off.In the scramble for charters and the subsequent dickering and squabbling among tha chartered companies there would have been fatal delay.Time is an essential element of the contract and the arrangement the Government has come to with a respon- gible firm is the wisest and best under the circumstances.\u201d QUEBEC CITY NEWS.A Tobacco Firm Will Start a Planta tion Near Montreal.Quebec.February

improvements, such as street widenings, should be carried out for the present, because the expenditure in connection therewith is mot merely the emount paid to proprietors ms compensation for the value of their lands or buildings, but incidentally the large outlays involved in street pavings, sidewalks, drains, water services, to say mothing of subsequent damages for having carried out such improvement.And in future, improvements of this nature should be carried out at the cist of the proprietors benefitted.If, however, a public improvement should be considered necessary, in the general interest of the city, the ratepayers should be afforded an opportunity of deciding whether they require such improvement, and any expenditure necessitating a loan should he submitted to, and approved by the majority in number and value of the ratepayers under special by-law, and a special tax should be imposed for its repayment.pu Claims for Damages.All daims for damages should be thoroughly sifted before being paid.In my cpinion hundreds of thousands of dollars have been unnecessarily expended in this connection, bo LD dem 14 Markets.It is worfh considering whether it would not be desirable to rent markets by public competition until such time as dt may be deemed expedient to abolish all except one central market.The Aldermen.The question has been frequently discussed, both in the Council and outside ot it, as to whethar the aldermen should be paid for their services.I have to acknowledge that one result of my experience has been to change my mind on this subject.I am now decidedly of the opinion that not only should the aldermen be remunerated for their services, but that they should be relieved, as far as possible, of attending to purely administrative duties.And it is worthy of serious consideration whether it would not be in the best interests oË the city to appoint paid commissioners to superintend all details m connection with the civie administration.These commissioners might have associated with them the heads of departments, with the Mayor as chairman, who might form an advisory board, and submit all matters to the City Council, which would act ag a legislative body, but their recommendations should be subject to a veto of a two-thirds vote of the Council.The commissioners might be three in number; one of whom could be elected by the ratepayers generally, one by the real estate owners, and one by a two-thirds vote of the City Council; said commissioners to be under the control of the City Council, and subject to dismissal for cause by a two-thirds vote of the Council.Mount Royal Park and City Squares.Although attempts have been made to encroach upon Mount Royal Park, I am glad to say that the City Council has had the good sense to oppose any such encroachment.(Montreal is renowned for, and justly proud of, her parks, and no trespass should be permitted on either her parks or squares.Surrounding Municipalities, The question of the annexation of t¥e surrounding mumicipalities is one which will have to be faced in the near future.The necessity for this has been urged by my predecessors, and as time goes on this necessity becomes greater, and likewise the difficulties in connection therewith.in anticipation of annexation, which, for obvious reasons, is regarded as a {foregone conclusion, the municipalities are incurring large debts for improvements.When annexation takes place a fair redistribution of ward representation will be in order.Harbor.During the past year strong efforts were made to induce the Federal Government to carry out the necessary works in conmyction with harbor improvements, but, although several conferences were held, nothing but promises and disputes over plans have resulted.I sincerely hope that the City Council, and the city ot Montreal generally, will make such representations to \u2018the Federal authorities as will induce them to make the neccessary improvements in the national port of tie Dominion without delay.Charter.Although I was most anxious that the important work of the consolidation and revision of the city charter should be accomplished during my term of office, owing to various causes, including the celebration of Her Majesty\u2019s jubilee, it was found impossible to complete the work.A fair commencement has, however, been made, and it is now well under way, and will mo doubt be completed during the present year, in good time for the next meeting of the Legislature.It is both undesirable and undignified that the city of Montreal should have to go to Quebec year after year for amendments to her charter.Under certain restrictions, she should be accorded full power to regulate and govern her own affairs.Thomson Line 8S.Cerona, sailed from

AT THE CAPITAL fincas A Free Fight One of the Interesting Features.VICTORIAS WON BY 9 TO, 5, Pulford and Young Disgrace Themselves by Rough Work.\u2018 POOR ICE AND POORER REFEREE.The Shamrocks Defeat Quebec\u2014The Victorias for New York \u2014Other Sport.Ottawe, Feb.14 \u2014(Special.) \u2014Three men carried, insensible, from the ice, two stun- wed by bad falls, a free fight, an umpire almost mobbed, and a score or more minor incidents, combined with some hockey, kept several \u2018bundred spectators highly excited here on Saturday night, when the Victories and the Ottawas met for the last time this season in the championship series.The Victorias won, but that is only ome of the minor incidentals.When there was so much rough play, it is not jikely that it was confined entirely to one side\u2014at least a person saying so would be acoused of being very partial to the side he exonerated.The Vics are mot paints; they have as yet shown no signs of wings sprouting through the backs of their garnet jerseys.But they are young gentlemen who can take an astonishing smount of rough treatment without losing their tempers, and without \u2018laying for\u201d their opponents to pay them back in their own coin.On Saturday night they were fouled in every conceivable way, but they behaved themselves like gentle- mn, and the most ardent Ottawan could vot help but admire them for their conduct.Of course, they were not immaculate, but, when their fouls are put alongside Ottawa\u2019s, the comparison is one that will do the Vies everlasting credit.1t was a great victory for the champions, and the wonder is how they won under such treatment.The men responsible for the disgraceful work were the referea, George Hamilton, and Pulford and Young, Ottawa\u2019s defence.The referee was either thoroughly incup- able of fillkng his position or grossly partial to the Ottawas.He can choose the cap that fits\u2014it is of little consequence which it is\u2014but he should never referce again.He ~llowed Pulford and Young full sway.lo those who follow hockey nothing more need be said.When those two men take the bit in their teeth they can surpass any pair in the way of dirty, underhand and brutal tactics.The Greatest Offender was Pulford.He is a great, big, etrong man, and he picked out Cam Davidson, the smallest man on the Vics, as the special object upon which to vent his bloodthirsty temper.Nothing was too low down or cowardly for him to do to his little opponent, and, with such a referee, he disgraced himself in a thorough man- ner\u2014in faet, that is all he succeeded in doing well all night.He informed Davidson that he was laying for him, and also told Bob Macdougall that he was going $0 cut his head open.If anyone thinks T em unjustly severe on Pulford, the fact that when, in a fair and square body check with Mike Grant, he was laid out flat on the ice, hundreds of Ottawa people cheered, showed that hie own townspeople, who wanted the Ottawas to win, were thoroughly disgusted with his playing.Young Was Himself only a little more so, as he soon discovered that the referee had one eye on the Vies and the other eye closed.His two greatedt achlevements were thoroughly cimracteristic of him.Once he skated up behind Cam Davidson when the puck was not near him, lifted Pavidson\u2019s feet from the ice, bringing the game little player to the ice with a force that stunned him.Young then skated back, and in a hypocritical way, expressed sorrow that Dav.d- son was hurt, and asked how it happened.At another stage in the game he climbed over three or four tiers of seats and struck a twelve or fourteen-year-old boy in the face with his stick.A gentleman sitting behind the youth hit Young a blow in the face in part payment for his more than cowardly conduct.But' more of that anon.Once Young did manage to foul a man bigger than himself.lt was Mike Grant.He came up from behind, hit Grant, and skated away as if he were chased.After that he steered shy of the Vics\u2019 stalwart cover point.Weldy was go buay fouling players that he forgat all about fainting, and the only times he was accountable for delaying the game was when \u2018he knocked out some of bis opponents, Two Little Incidents will go to show what an ideal referee Mr.Hamilton was.Once Pulford was trying to squceze the life out of Davidson against a post, and when they got separated the referee warned Davidson, not Pulford, that if such a thing happened again he (again Davidson, not Pulford) would go off.At another time Young cross-checked Molea as badly as that artist in cross-checking can.McLea smiled goodpaturedly at Young, and took the treatment as only a gentleman can.The referee said nothing to Young, but informed Melea that he was not to smile like that, as it irritated Young.This may be hard to believe, but it is an absolute fact.Another incident fs worth giving.Cam Davidson took his treatment from Pulford like a man; he never complained to the referee or anyone else.Once he resented a nasty strike in the back by Pulford, and 4Anrned face to face with his big tormentor.Pulford evidently thought Davidson meant fight, and immediately appealed to the referee.The referce promptly warned Davidson.But all tthe Ottawas were not like their defence.With The Ottawa Forwards no complaint can be found.They were no worse than the Victoria forwards, and nei- | ther quartette did anything much out of = i i
