THE C, P, R, MAKES A STATEMENT tl reseed | In Which it pts all the Blame on the Western Railroads.| + \u2014 ; nd Trunk Railway has not yet ie ie definite aetion in the rate war avhich has been inauguarted by the C.P.R.circular ordering a cut in all trans-conti- pental business along their line.The following interview by a Herald representative with Mr.Reeve, general traffic manager of the Grand Trunk Railway System, will! explain why this is so.When asked what move the Grand Trunk were making in the present rate war, Mr.Reeve lied: We of the Grand Trunk have no idea that there is going to be any rate war.\u201d \u201cBut since the Canadian Pacific has cut the trans-continental rate, will your line not take means to protect its own business?\u2019 \u201cOf course we shall,\u201d replied Mr.Reeve.\u201cWe are entitled to a fair share of Klondike business, and if we have mot made any apparent movement yet, you may be sire we are watching developments.\u201d \u201cBut are further developments meces- esry, in view of the large eut made by the Canadian Pacific?\u201d \u201cWe do not find any large quamtity of business has been tas yet attracted to the Canadian Pacific Railway on account of that Tine having abolished the established transcontinental tariff.We have mot seen much to warrant us losing any sleep over the state of affairs,\u201d said Mr.Reeve with a smile.\u201cThen they are particular considerations which make it necessary for the Grand Trunk to delay taking any action at present ?\u201d \u201cWe are here, you must understand,\u201d responded Mr.Reeve, \u201cto protect the interests of the proprietors of this railway, and mot to thoughtlesdly throw away nioney for the mere aggrandizement of our official positions.\u201d \u201cBut are you mot co-operating with the Northern Pacific and Great Northern in their cut to meet the C.P.R.cut?\u201d I understand that both the Great orthern and the Norfhern Pacific, through their ageñts now operat- mg in Canada, are quoting rates which are practically equivalent to those rates now being quoted by the Canadian Pacific.These lines, with which we con- Tect, up to the present time are paying us our usual local fare.But it stands to reason that if the situation grows worse, these lines will ask the Grand Trunk to Participate in the protection of trans-con- tinental business.When that time comes Tug dl consider what steps we shall take.We do not intend t ioi me it Tot ee o anticipate trouble \u2019en you refuse to eve ogni a thing as this so-called rate wart such i\" Maat you call this

or Miss Frances I.Willard, late president of the W.C.T.U., her estate will pass into the Temple fund, after the life interests of her secretary, Miss Anna Gordon, and of her sister-in-law; Mrs.Mary E.Williard, have expired.The property consists of \u201cRest Cottage\u201d at Hvanston, valued at $16,000, a small cottage in the Adirondacks, and $3,000 in cash, which was presented to Miss Willard on her fiftieth birtfday.By her original will the estate was to pass to the W.C.T.U., but a codicil, dated after the Buffalo convention, diverts it to the Temple fund.The Temple trustees will probably waive their rights and leave the estate entirely to the direct beneticiaries, A METHODIST ANNIVERSARY Special anniversary services were held in Mountain Street Methodist Church yesterday.During

RATE WAR.He Says the C,P.R Has Been Forced to Cut Rates The Canadian Pacific Railway has issued the following explanatory statement, showing what reasons it had for taking its present attitude in the rate war now going on.\u201cFor years past, by arrangement with its competitors for Pacific Coast passenger business, the Canadian Pacific has been authorized to quote lower rates by its main line via Port Arthur, than those in force by way of the other transcontinental lines, the difference being $7.50 on first-class tickets, and $5 on second class tickets, \u201cThese are known in the railway world as differentials, and in this case they are accorded to the Canadian Pacific route not only on Pacific Coast business proper, but on business to points beyond, reached through Pacific Coast gateways, excepting trans-Pacific points.\u201cSome weeks ago, when the Klondike business commenced to move, and when it was anticipated that a large number of passengers would be offering, the western liners in the United States, with the cooperation of the Grand Trunk and other eastern lines, and without the concurrence of the Canadian Pacific, disregagrded the differentials that had been in force, and openly quoted the same rates to and from Pacific Coast points, as those quoted by the Canadian line.Indeed, in their anxiety to secure as large a percentage of this business as possible, tariffs were ignored, and tickets sold practically at any price that might be necessary to secure the passengers.\u201cAs an illustration, in the early part of January, agents of the Canadian Pacific Company purchased second-class tickets from several points in the Fast to Pacific Coast points, reading via the Great Northern.and Northern Pacific lines, at rates ranging from $15.25 to $21.85 below tariff; and the movement, which, in the first place, was in the mature of a concerted attack on the Canadian Pacific traffic, resulted in a war of rates between the western United States lines constituting the combination referred to.\u201cWhen it was found that the same dishonest methods that had been adopted for the purpose of diverting trafic from the C.P.R.were heing used in a more agara- vated form by the western lines against each other, it was decided to hold a meeting, and the Canadian Pacific was invited to send a representative to agree upon and equalize rates.The Canadian Pacific replied that under existing conditions their representation at a meeting would be of no avail, and at the same time suggested that the companies responsible for the de- _moralization of rates in the first place restore their tariffs, when the Canädiar Pacific would be glad to attend a meeting for the purpose of assisting in maintaining rates.¥n other words, the Canadian Pacific very properly demanded that the status of each company under the âgree- ment previously made should be first reestablished as it was wien the rade cutting.commenced, before a meeting be convened to discuss a new agreement.\u201cThe Canadian Pacific preferred not to go into a meeting to defend rights which it already possesed by consent\u201d of its competitors rather than to hear from these competitors reasons why they had broken faith\u2014reasons which, no doubt, would be accepted as ufficient by a meeting of the aggressors, where the (Canadian Pacific would be out-voted fifty to ome.\u201cMeantime the representatives of vhe western lines, unable to agree amongst themselves, have continued the policy of business cut-throats, knifing each other by secret commissions, unsigned or improperly dated tickets, and every other device known to the railway rate-cutter.\u201cNot satisfied with the demoralization of rates on this continent, they have also allowed trams-Atlantic lines to deduct commissions of $17.50 per passenger, thereby extending their system of cutting into Europe.\u201cThe Canadian Pacific hasspursued a most conservative policy, helding aloof from the insane scrimmage and standing practically alone in its efforts to bring the delihquents to their senses.\u201cFinding that it was hopeless, and that the rate situation of the western lines was growing worse day by day, the Canadian Pacific, having observed the requirements of law, which had been quite ignored by its competitors, filed a dohedule of passenger rates, to take effect February 19th, making its published tariff rates as low, as far as it knows, as the lowest that had been secretly given by any of the other routes; and it contemplates a continuation of this practice of filing and publishing as its open tariff the very lowest rates taat may be justified by the action of the other lines or any of them.\u201cThe Canadian Pacific, with its own line from the Atlantic to the Pacific, has a larger interest at stake than any of the lines forming links in the other transcontinental systems, and for the same reason it is in a better position to take such strong measures as may be necessary for the protection of its traffic, without substantial sacrifice of revenue.It does mot aim to deprive its neighbors of business legitimately theirs; but it will not remain pu-ew .and permit those meighbors to steal its traffic or reduce its revenuesby improper and unbusinesslike methods.The Canadian Pacific deplores the necessity for radien| measures in an endeavor to bring abo a better condition: of things, but its friends need not have any fear of the result, financially or otherwise.\u201d Steamship Lines Take a Hand.New York, Feb.21.\u2014Several important meetings were held in this city Saturday between the Western railway passenger agents and the agents of important steamship lines to this port.I'he agents of the steamship lines unhesitatingly sided with the American representatives and agreed to aid them in the battle against the Canadian Pacific.The western passenger agents who attended the meetings were: \u2014B.D.Caldwell, chairman of the Western Passenger Associa- tion; C.S.Fee, general passenger agent Northern Pacific; W.F.White, passenger traffic manager Atchison, Topeka & Sante Fe; John Sebastian, general passenger agent Chicago, Rock Island & Pa- cities; H.C.Townsend, Missouri Pacitic, and P.S.Euetis, general pasenger agent Chicago, Burlington & Quincy.Saturday afternoon a meeting was held with the representatives of the lines running out of New York to the west and north.The sifuation was thoroughly discussed, and at times the debate among tihe representatives of the various lines was extremely lively.The result of the meeting was that D.I.Roberts, general Passenger agent of the Erie; George Dan- lels, general passenger agent of the New York Central, and E.C.McCormick, pas- Senger traffic manager of the C.C.C.& St.Louis, were appointed by Commissioner Farmer, of the Trunk Line Association, as a committee to go to Montreal to discuss with the officials of the Canadian Pacitic the demoralization in passenger rates on North Pacific coast and transcontinental business.Outs in the West, Tacoma, Wash., Feb.21.\u2014The Northern Pacific Railroad announces a big.cut in passenger rates which became effective Saturday.The rate from Tacoma to St.Paul, Duluth and points in Minnesota, North Dakota and Manitoba is cut in two.Heretofore the rates to the above points have been $50 first-class and $40 second class.The mew rates will be $25 first- class and $20 second class.The rates from Tacoma to Chicago are $31.50 first-class and $26.50 second class.To points in Ontario and Quebec as far east as Montreal and south of the line of the Grand Trunk Railroad, Port Hurom to Montreal, $40 first-class and $30 second class, The same rates prevail from the east to Tacoma.Winnipeg, Feb.21.\u2014The railway mate war has extended to Winnipeg as a result of the cut in rates from Montreal and eastern points to North Pacific coast terminals by the Canadian Pacific, Both the Oanadian Pacific and Northern Pacific have made the passenger rates to the North Pacific from Winnipeg $25 first class and $20 second class.This is a big cut, as the regular rates are $50 first- class and $40 second class.Mr.Robert Kerr, traffic manager of the Canadian Pacific west of Lake Superior, said:\u2014\u2018\u2019We concluded that the United States lines were not living up to their agreement.They were entting rates on every hand, placing their business in the hands of scalpers, and we concluded to give the people the share that the American lines were giving to scalping ticket brokers and cut rates in half.\u201d On the Exchange, The rate war was again the chief factor on the Stock Exchange this morning, but Pacific shares were surprisingly firm.It is true that they declined sdmetling from the opening figure, 82, but the feeling was steadier than on Saturday, and prices were maintained in the face of a.generally de- elining list.The closing price this morn mg was 813.! - TORONTO'S CROWDED STREET RY, CARS.An Injunction to Lessen the Grievance Has Been Refused, \u2014 Toronto, February 21\u2014Mri Justice Fals conbridge on Saturdy gave judgment refus« ing the injunction sought by E.A.Mac- Donald and Mr.Rundle to prevent the crowding of street cars.He was asked to constitute every conductor and motorman a special constable to resist by force, if need be, the entry in or upon a car of anyone after the carrying capacity of the car was occupied, Concluding, His Lordship said : \u201cI fear that I am unable at this stage to give the necessary directions to carry out such an order, and that the only result would be serious complications, and possibly breaches ofthe peace.Whatever the rights of the parties may be ascertainad to be at the trial of the action, I must be guided here by the fixed principles which govern the granting or withholding of an interlocutory injunction, and here I can find no such clear right at law and no such irreparable injury to the plaintiffs, or to those whom they assume to represent, as to justify any immediate interference.Perhaps, before the case comes to trial the city will define its position.I at present doubt very much whether any ratepayer,or any person or corporation, other than the city of Toronto, has right to maintain an action of this nature.The contract is with the city, and the city alone.As the matter stands, I have to refuse this application.Costs of the motion are made cost in the proceedings to abide the result of the trial.BRAKEMAN'S EXPERIENCE Was Dragged Almost a Mile With a Crushed Hand.Sherbrooke, February, 21\u2014(Special)\u2014A G.T.R.brakeman, named Begin, whose house isin Levis, fell beneath a freight train botween Waterville and Compton, Saturday morning, and his right

Liberals Ottawa, Ont., Feb.21.\u2014(Special).\u2014 There is some talk to-day in political circles of another offer being made to the government from an American-English syndicate for the construction of the railway to the \u201cYukon.It de said that the offer is in the shape of a letter to the Premier and is in the first place for the building of a Tcad from Pyramid Harbor, along the Dalton Trail to Fort Selkirk.The terms are said to be more favorable than any yet published.Partres who are said to make the offer are Wilson, New York; A.Bratnover, Montreal; A.Onderdonk, Chicago, ana others.Mr.Smith, who has been here for the past few weeks, is said to be looking after the matter.It is also said that Mr.Smith will make a proposition to build the Telegraph Creek and Teslin road on better terms than that proposed by the Government to Messrs.Mackenzie and Mann.Mr.Smith is said to be working in conjunction with the Opposition of the House of Commons and his letters and efforts are not taken seriously.He has already circulated the report all over the Dominion that \u2018he has made an offer to the Government to build a road to Yukon, but no offer has been received.Sir Charles Tupper was able to inform the Premier that Mr.Smith had writ ten him the letter referred to a day after it reached Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2019s hands.The offers are evident- Ty made with a view of annoying the Government and playing into the hands of a few Yankee charter managers, who are annoyed that their schemes are cast to one side on account of the all-Canadian route.The Liberals say, that if they were found lending themselves to assist foreigners in attacking a project which has for its object the keeping under Canadian control the gold fields of the Yukon, the Conservative press would be filled with charges of treachery and treason.St.Clair Ship Canal A proposal to guarantee the bonds of the St Clair and Erie ship canal is being con~ sidered by the Government.A deputation of representatives and influential gentlemen from Kent county and the townships of Tilbury East and Tilbury Centre, accompanied by Mr A.Campbell, M.P.ior Kent ; Mr W.McGregor, M.P.for North Essex, and Mr Cowan, M.P.for South Essex, waited on the Hon.A.G.Blair, a day or two ago, and presented a petition praying that the petition of the St.Clair and Erie Ship Canal Company, asking for a guarantee of three per cent.interest for twenty years on an issue of $3,500,000 of bonds, should be granted: The three members and several of the delegates expressed themselves strongly in favour of the petition, showing that the benefits of this canal would be both national and local.The more important of the points touched upon were, the shortening of the distance between Lake St.Clair and Lake Erie by by seventy nine miles which would decrease the sailing distance, and thus increase the number of trips in a season : the avoidance of the dangers and delays of the Detroit river route ; the lessening of the cost of transport between Fort William and Lake Erie, and locally, the effectual drainage over a very large area of fertile land, now only imperfectly drained at a great cost, and the bringing a market, equal to that of a large city, to the very doors of the farms ers and gardeners.Mr.Ogilvie\u2019's Son Appointed.Morley Ogilvie, son of Mr.William Ogilvie, has been appointed to take charge of a party of the Gold Hills Exploration and Development Company of Toronto in the Yukon.The party will be thoroughly equipped for prospecting and locating claims.Hon.J.D.Edgar is president of the

Duncan Ross, Boundary Creek, B.C., and À.J.Magurn and W.Mackenzie, MR.AND MRS.ALLAN LEGALLY SEPARATED, And Mr.Allan Will Pay $36 a Week to His Wife.Judge Mathieu this morning pronounced a decree of separation between Mr.and Mrs, W.F.Allan, on the ground of ill- treatment, and ordered Mr.Allan to pay Mrs.Allan an alimentary allowance of $35 per month.CANAL ACCIDENTS.Chambers Badly Jammed at Coteau du Lac on Saturday, Stone House View, via Coteau du Lac, Feb.21.\u2014(Special.)\u2014An accident happened here on Saturday afternoon on Mr.Underdonk\u2019s canal section by which Mr.8S.Chambers was jammed between a stone and a car.His injuries are not likely to prove fatal, but are very painful.He was to be taken to the hospital this morning, but the storm has rendered the roads impassable.The mail had to be transferred from Cedars and Coteau du\u2019 Lac to the railway stations by carriers on snow, as traffic by sleigh is impossible, EDITOR PUT IN PRISON.Henri Rochefort Will Serve a Five Days\u2019 Sentence, Paris, February 21.\u2014Two thousand mpeo- ple assembled yesterday afternoon in front of the Saint Pelligier prison (well-known as a prison for offending journalists) to greet M.Henri Rochefort, editor of the Intransigeant, on entering to serve a sen- tece of five days\u2019 imprisonment for libelling M.Joseph Reinach, Conservative deputy for the district of Digne and editor of the Republique Francaise, by charging him with intending to prove the innocence of Alfred Dreyfus by the use of forged documents.At first there were no signs of force to preserve order; but as the crowd increased, a company of Republican Guards, headed by buglers and drummers, a detachment of police and two squadrons of Cuirassiers were drawn up on each side of the square in front of the prison.The troops wer received with cries of \u201cVive L\u2019Armee.\u201d , It was four o'clock before M.Rochefort arrived.The crowd flocked around his carriage, shouting \u201cVive Rochefort\u201d \u201cVive la Commune,\u201d the police fbeing powerless to restrain them.Mr.Rochefort alighted, waving his handkerchief, and, escorted by the people, walked to the prison gate.About fifty of his friends, including M.Earnest Roche, one of the deputies for Paris, the editor of Le Jour, and the assistant editors of L\u2019Intransigeant, accompanied him inside the buildng, amid continuous cheers from the populace.The warders, with the governor of the prison, at their side, were waitng, cap in hand, and respectfully received the prisoner.BALL GETS HIS $750.Judge Archibald Upholds the Finding ofthe Jury, Judge Archibald on Saturday rendered judgment in the case of Hawkins, es qual, versus Roberts and others in accordance with the finding of the jury.In this case Mr.Hawkins, in his capacity of tutor to H.W.Ball, had brought an action for damages for injuries sustained by Ball on board the steamer Kildona last July.The action had been taken against the manager and the captain of the steamer, as the parties responsible.The jury had awarded $750 damages, finding that the defendants were responsible, although Ball had himself, by his negligence, contributed to the accident.Judge Archibald rendered judgment accordingly.Kven if Ball .had been guilty of contributory negligence, that circumstance could only weaken his daim for damages, not deprive him of all recourse, CAUGHT BETWEEN CARS.An Incident of the Snowstorm That Might Have Been Fatal.Mr.Alex.G.Adams, who lives at 38 Mackay street, had a narrow escape from instant death yesterday afternoon.He was walking on the car track on St.Catherine street on account of the snow, and when he heard a car coming hehind him he stepped on the devil's strip.On account of the storm he did not see a car which was approaching from the otlrer direction, and he was caught between the twa cars, and injured severely.He was taken to the general Hospital and is doing as well as can be expected.Two friends who were with him stepped to the other side of the track and were unhurt.Mr.Adams works for E.A.Smal & Co.ARCHBISHOP CLEARY.His Illness is of a Very Dangerous Character.Kirgston,

Regulation.THE CONTRACTS AWARDED.A Tribute to the Government from a Business Man.If the Canadian Government had not acted promptly Capadian merchants and manufacturers would have lost the sale of $500,000 worth of woollens, clothing, hardware, canned goods, drugs, vegetables, ete.As it is, the work of purchasing goes merrily along.On February 2, The Herald told of the arrival of Mr.L.A.Phillips, the purchasing agent of the Alaska Exploration Company, whose headquarters are at San Francisco.Ag was then stated Mr.Phillips\u2019 mission was to purchase supplies for the gold fields, and as the Rothschilds are deeply interested in the company Mr.Phillips\u2019 orders were to buv all he could in Canada, everything being equal.Since February 2, Mr.Phillips has been hard at work considering offers and inspecting samples.His contracts signed ang sealed had almost reached $200,000, when late last week he was made aware of the fact that he could not get vessels at Vancouver, and this meant that all his vast purchases would have to be shipped from San Francisco.Under the coasting laws he would have to pay duty on the goods on re-entering Canada.Should there he no way wout of such a contingency he would be forced to not only stop purchas ing, but to cancel onders already given.Mr.Phillips\u2019 went to Ottawa and he came back this morning contented.\u201cWhat a splendid lot of business men you have in your cabinet,\u201d he said to a Herald reporter.\u201cWhen I got to the Capital it soon became known what, in part, my mission was, and I could scarcely help getting into conversation on the subject.One man said: \u201cHow long do you expect to stay here?\u201d I replied, \u201cA couple of days,\u201d and you.should have heard him laugh.\u201cBut mine was a case of business, 1 Was not seeking some favor; it was business pure and simple, and fortunately fox your country your ministers are men who can handle a business proposition.I saw Hon.Mr, Patterson at 11.30 a.m., and explained my position.I pointed out that it was out of the question to make the purchases if a duty was placed on them on the re-entry.An hour or so afterwards the cabinet heard the facts, and on Saturday morning an order-in-couneil by which the goods will go through in bond was passed.That's the way to do business.\u201d \u201cAs it is mow, every shipper will get a certificate from the customs, the bales and \u2018cases will be properly marked for identification, and when Canadian territory is reached after leaving San Francisco, the certificate will be handed to the Canadian customs officer, and there you are.\u201d \u201cThen you will spend the $300,000 as at first reported,\u201d I asked: Mr.Phillips.\u201cYes, easily.Then: there will be a lot of orders, duplicates, which I may mail, As a matter of fact, my purchases just now are only limited by the transportation accomodation.\u201d Who Have Contracts, manufactürers from whom Mr.Phillips has made purchases ranging from $3,500 tm $25,000 are: The Dominion Cotton Company.E.A.Small & Co., a large quantity of clothing, McFarlane and Hodgson, all kinds.MeClary Manufacturing Company (Montreal office), stoves.Lockerby Brothers, teas, coffees and groceries im general.J.W.Morris, tents.Ë \u201c Thomas Davidson, tinware of every des cription.Dominion Woollen

Fredrickton, N.B., and Baldwin Mills and Toronto.The hardware order will be a very big one but Mr.Phillips will not close until he has had a chance to compare figures.He has only five days in which to complete his work in Canada but negotiations are so well advanced that he will have little or no trouble.Mr.Phillips speaks in the highest terms of Montrealers and Canadians in general.He says there propositions are well planned on business principles and that honest dealing was always on the face of any negotiations.Mr.Phillips leaves on Sunday night next for New York.stationery of WEATHER

United on the African Question, QUEEN'S HEALTH IS GOOD.À Latin Alliance Suggested for South America\u2014Gable Notes, London, Feb.21.\u2014The danger of leaving explosives about in the shape of armed bands roaming in disputed spheres under youthful officers has been amply illustrat ed in West Africa, where the intermingling of French and British troops has already caused incidents which threaten the most grave complications.- Happily, the positive instructions of both Governments have thus far been «beyed, and an actual collision has been averted.But the fuse is alight, and unless France withdraws her provocative attitude, or Great Britain continues the graceful concession policy she has hitherto observed towards the lrendh claims, an explosion is bound to follow.Some explanation of the attitude ot France may be found in the desire of its Government to turn French minds from the inquisition, provoked by Zola, while 1t must not be forgotten that the Minister of Foreign Affairs, bears upon his shoulders the burden of elections close at hand, and has to face the threatenings of the colonial party to swamp the Government if it shows the faintest sign of yielding.Next week the supplementary estimate of 150,000 pounds for the West African expenses will be presented to the House of Commons, and an interesting debate may be expected.Probably the most vital point is not so much the possession of territory as freedom of commerce.36 British officers and non-commissioned officers group smiled Saturday for West Africa, accompanied by immense quantities of war munitions.As even the un- alarmist Statist points out, the troubles augment.It says: \u201cBesides India, we have on hand the eampaign on the Nile, fighting in West Africa, Uganda, Zulu- .land and Charterland, numerous disputes with France, the relations between the United States and Canada are far from satisfactory, and there are critical situations both in the far East and near West.Added to this, the state of France, the struggles of the nationalities of Austro- .Hungary, the unrest in The Balkans, the apparent breaking up of the concert and the uncertainty as to how the Powers will group anew, the arming of Japan, the Cuban imbroglio and the state of South Africa, and it must be admitted that the general outlook is not reassuring.\u201d The papers emphasize the impor tance of the information conveyed to the House of Commons Friday night by Mr.Chamberlain.The Daily News, the official Liberal organ, which is in no wise a jingo, comes out with a strong editorial declaring that the negotiations with Paris are mot running smoothly, and that the relations between Great Britain and France are dangerously strained.It adds: \u2014\u201cWe do not deny that the situation probably affords abundant room for compromise, but it is irhpossible without loss of national honor, to say mothing of national interests, to\u2019 let ourselves be ousted from territories where we have clear rights.Lord Salisbury has shown himself to be squeezable enough in many parts of the world.His disposition to come to terms by splitting the difference is known of alt men.He is, rightly too, for peace at almost any price, but the price of letting ourselves be squeezed out of territory which we believe will be recognized to be within our sphere of influence, by the agreement of 1890, would surely be too .high.\u2018The real point at issue, it should be remembered, is not so.much the possession of territory as freedom of commerce.It is not in China only that the policy of \" restored so man the \u2018open door\u2019 is essential to British interests.The French have already possessed themselves of territory behind Gambia and Sierra Leone.Nobody need grudge them this territory for its own sake, but what has happened?The coast colonies are cut out from trade with the interior.The most vital point now in dispute is the control of the Niger river.We assert our right to it up to Say, and do eo mainly in order to secure free navigation of that great waterway as an avenue of trade.\u201d Will Help Salisbury.The News appeals to the parliamentary Free Trial To Any Honest Man The Foremost Medical Company

Opposition to avoid the temptation to make parliamentary capital out of the national embarrassment, but rather to \u2018strengthen Lord Salisbury\u2019s not too vigorous hands in maintaining the vital interests of the country.The foregoing comments represent a large section of popular opinion.On the other hand, evidence is not wanting that though the negotiations drag and promise to be prolonged and tedious, no immediate rupture is necessarily to be apprehended, and that the danger lies rather between the military chauvinists of both countries in the disputed Hinterlands.Thue the Chroniele\u2019s Paris correspondent sends statements from \u201cA double and independent source, given with the highest authority, from which it appears that the situation, though diffienlt and perhaps grave, ® not hopeless.The Chronicle's correspondent says :\u2014 \u201cMy first distinguished informant said that instructions had been given both sides, and I consider the chances of actual collision are by no means imminent.St:ll, as we stand to-day, England and France are in the meshes of intermingling spheres of influence, and there is no sign of yielding on either side.While the frontiers are left undecided, the interests and friendship of both natione are stake.The mischief lies with those dread- -ful Kings, who alvernately claim protection from both sides.\u201cThe representatives of France and England will fairly compare some of the so-called treaties, and [ am quite sure that M.Hapatoux will Le most conciliatory.You must not forget that the French Minister of Foreign Affairs bears on his shoulders the burden of the elections that are close at hand.Kaiser May Be to Blame, \u201cOn the French side,\u201d continues the writer, \u201cI was able to gather something more than confirmation of the above.\u2018You must not forget, said a French - statesman with whom I spoke, \u2018that there is a gadfly which is constantly inciting a quarrel between France and England.The German Emperor, with his fertility of resource, never los:s a chance of being amiable toward France.He considers that he has already soured France on her Russian alliance, and the commercial rivalry between his empire and Great Britain is evident.I will not say whether a consciousness of this has crossed the deliberations of the commission sitting at the Quai D\u2019Orsay.Remember, however, that the restless temperament of William II.must be brimming over with jealousy, while he feels that France and England are communing reasonably and amicably, while he is left outside.\u201d oo Stead on the Situation.All the afternoon newspapers to-day comment upon the gravity of the West African situation.Business on the Stock Exchange was flat, and Consols were 4 of a point lower, À striking article in the Westminster Gazette, by William T.Stead, says: \u201cThe news from the Niger is only serious because of the news from France.The net effect of the news from Paris to-day is that France is once more in full revolution.The third Republic, although nominally still in power, no longer exists.The long expected upset has arrived at last, and has arrived, almost to the very day, exactly fifty years after the revolution of 1848.The coup d\u2019etat of General Boisdeffre differs from the coup d\u2019etat of Napoleon III.only in the degree of brutality of its accessories.Then the chief of the French : general staff, the nerve centre of the gra matter of the brain which directs, controls, and governs the whole armed force of France, enters into a court of law to proclaim to a jury that unless they return a verdict to his liking, the chiefs who are at the head of the army, and who organize national defence are weady to leave their task to others.There is mo longer any Republican government in France.\u201d A Latin Alliance.There is a curious discussion in the Spanish press as to a possibuli- ty of confederating the Latin Republics of South America with Spain, against the United States.El Pais contends that the Spanish republics are weak through isolation, and that if united in a military and diplomatic alliance, they would be the first power in the world.in territory, the second in population, and that their armies and navies would have sufficient power to insure respect.El Pais says: \u201cIt is well known that the greedy Yankees, once the Panama Canal is opened to the world\u2019s commerce, will do all that their perfidy can suggest to wrest it from the Latin countries of Central Am- érica, even as England seized the Suez Canal.Tending in this direction is the desire of the Americans to secure Cuba.\u201d Referring to Latin alliances, the Spectator, in a long article, points out that there 13 no doubt of the existence of special relations between France and Spain, which have lately been strengthened, and says: \u201cThere are well-informed people who believe, that when in the autumn the United | States and Spain almost collided, the United States found there was a stiffness in the Spanish attitude which could only be accounted for by the fact that Spain knew she could appeal to a power which could not neglect her demands.Continuing, the Saturday Review ex- Dresses the belief that France allowed the United States to understand that considerations of importance to her would not allow her to see Spain treated in an unfriendly manner, and that a Spa: - ish appeal to France was the result of the | latter\u2019s intervention.\u201d The Spectator explaing that if France had not helped Spain, the latter would have applied for admission with almost certainty of success.Some Cable Notes.A confirmation of Queen \u2018Victoria\u2019a excellent state of health is found in the official announcement that it is Her

WAR CLOUD OVER WEST AFRICA À French Force Advancing on British Possessions.RECEIVES ORDERS TO HALT Sir Charles Dilke, an Authority, Considers Situation Dangerous.Alkassa, Gold Coast, Protectorate West Africa, Feb.21 \u2014Intelligence has arrived vancing toward Sokoto, capital of the Sultanate of Sokoto, on the Sokoto river, in the extreme north of the Hassau States, and that six French officers, with a force of two hundred men, have arrived at Ar- gungu (Argung) and Tagga.The former town is an important place on the Sokoto river, about half way between the Sultan\u2019s capital and the river Niger, and is within the Britsh sphere.The Sultan of Sokoto has commanded the French force to halt about forty miles from the capital.The Royal Niger Company/s representative, Deputy Agent-Gen- eral William Wallace, is holding the company\u2019s forces, with ammunition and stores, in readiness, and is awaiting instructions to assist the Sultan of Sokoto and to secure French evacuation of British territory.London, Feb.21.\u2014It is asserted on good authority that the Royal Niger Company has been instructed, after trying all peace able means to compel the retirement of {the French from British territory, by force.The Sultanate of Sokoto is a feudatory of the company and was recently placed under Britsh protection.The situation is regarded as extremely grave.Great Britain\u2019s force in the protectorate district number between 5,000 and 6,000 men under Britsh officers in Lagos and Gold Coast Hinterland and at the three .separate points of British and French territorial disputes, Boria, Wae and Argun- gu.The Daily Mail says it has received confirmation of the news from Sokoto.A \u2018Dangerous Outlook.Sir Charles Dilke, the well-kmown authority on foreign affairs, whose question lin the House of Commons Friday night elicited information from Colonial Secretary | Chamberlain, regarding the dangerous situation in West Africa, said in an interview that he thought the other powers would not interest themselves in the Anglo-French dispute, for the reason that the West African question was only of vital interest to England amd France.The state of affairs in West Africa he added, was wfhat he had always anticipated might be reached in Newfoundland at any moment.He had considered the Newfoundland question the omly dangerous one between France and England, because of the ever-present risk of conflict on the spot | which would appear to engage national \u201chonor.\u201d Now there was imminent risk of i the same thing all over West Africa.New York, Feb.21.\u2014Mr.Ford, cabling from London to the Tribune ys \u201cThe ; only grave incident of a week of torpid and turgid debate in the Commans occurred .early this morning, a few minutes before adjournment.Sir Charles Dilke, evi- i dently by prearrangement with his old-time colleague, asked Mr.Chamberlain whether a Britsh force in the Lagos Hinterland had been ordered by a French force to haul down its flag.Mr.Chamberlain replied { with a portentous air by reading two despatches received from West Africa a few hours before, and declining to comment \u2018upon them.One confirmed the report that a small British force at Borea had ; been ordered by thirty Sengalese to lower ; its flag, but had refused to do so; the other \"declared that protests had been exchanged ' between the rival outposts on the edge of i the British scttlements of the Gold Coast, | and that a French station had been established in a district which had been proclaimed as lying within the Britsh sphere | of influence.A painful sensation was caused by this official disclosure of aggressive action, after | the failure of the protracted negotiations in Parig to secure a ssttlement of the rival claims.The outposts of each side are i small detachments, but, their presence under arms confronting each other in territory claimed by cach is proof that the gituation is critical.Whatever may be the real value of the Hinterland, the British and French Governments have taken up a position frém which it is not easy to retire with dignity, while it is difficult ! to avoid the reproach of yielding to me- | nace and undue pressure.CIVIL SERVICE INCREASES.Editor of The Herald: Sir,\u2014Good Liberal though you are, I think the Civil Service clerks are suffering con- + siderably in consequence of the stoppage of the annual increases.When the subject was brought up in the House of Commons, Sir Richard Cartwright was very emphatic in his denunciation of the pernicious system of giving increases to all, wheather deserved or not, and declared that promotion and increase should be by merit only.now\u2014the C.8., servants are told plainly that there will be no increase of pay, and the plain Inference Is that if they are not | satisfied, and don*t like jt, they can leave, This, it seems to me, is à most unbus*- ; nessllke and unwise method.There is not a business in which a person engages, in \u2018which some hope is not held out, and often ; an agreement entered into, that his salary ; shall be increäsed as he becomes more effi cient.A government should be carried on on business principles, and having pledged itself to give certain increases to its servants, should keep its pledges.To be economical is a good thing\u2014to be wise and just is better\u2014and to begin at the wrong place to economize is neither wise nor just.There are thousands of salaries that | could be cut down without any particular hardship to those who are deprived, in consequence, of a few luxuries, but to be de prived of forty or fifty dollars a year, means à good deal to those who are struggling along on a salary of four hundred.I do not believe the civil servants would complain, if every salary, from the highest to the lowest were to be reduced in proportion, but, as it fs, they not only feel that it is hard, but are smarting under 3 sense of injustice.The Post Office clerks, for example, are paid as much ns an ordinary day laborer\u2014 a man who digs dralns, lays pipes, etc.They are required to be fairly well educated, intelligent, and honest.To them in entrusted the care of the people's mall, and they are responsible, yot the forty dollars a year increase is withheld on the plag of economy.Co Further comment is unnecessary.Sherbrooke, Feb.18.Ziska.THE EQUITATION

attendance at night, many of the Ontario members being Tardy\u2019s meeting.Fi 8 orders of the day, Sir Charles upper referred to Mr.Fisher's speech of the previous evening, and his statement in regard to the concession of the con- bractors in the matter of end sections, and his own desire to see a provision compelling the majority of the directors to be British subjects.He asked that the Government would place a notice on the order paper of any changes they might desire to make in committee.Sir Wilfrid Laurier stated that the Gov- ent was glad to receive any sug- Cestions touching the details of the bill.He could not at present say that the Government was ready to do as the teader of the Opposition asked, Dredging Licenses.1 Mr.Davin stated that it was common talk in town that a number of dredging licenses had been issued, and that large banking transacting were taking place on them.If licenses were being issued why was the public not advised of it, and given an opportunity to apply?Why was the Government blinding the people.Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2014\u2018\u201cThere is nothing at all blind about the matter.The mining regulations have been published, and everyone can take advantage of them.Freryone can make application for a dredging license, and if they apply according to the regulations the Government cannot refuse them.If any banking transactions are.taking place that is a matter with which the Government has nothing to do.1 tepeat that there 19 no blinding of the publie, mor is the Government going blindly.\u201d o notable speeches frst was that of who supported in a Hughes Satisfied.Major Sam Hughes (Nonth Victoria) tesumed the debate from the Opposition benches.He rose amid absolute silence from his own side of the House, but after a few seconds\u2019 pause he got a hearty hand-clap.{rom the Government side.The gallant Major said that he felt himself in an embarrassing position, as he felt it his duty to go against his leaders and vote for the Government.While this was an all-Canadian route, the only fault he had to find with it was that it did not start from a Canadian seaport, and thus give 8 route entirely on Canadian soil.Reckless men from all parts of the world would gather in that country, and it might some day be necessary to send in troops to keep order, when a route entirely on Canadian soil would be a great boon.Major Hughes devoted ten minutes to answering the objections of his Conservative friends to the bill.He trusted the Government to fix the rates of toll, and had no fear but that they would fix them fairly for the railway and travellers both.Of the \u201cmonopoly\u201d clause, he declared that no Canadian business men, politicians, or patriots would abject to the bill, because the Government reserved the right fo build the extension of the road to Canadians.There had been a great out- ry against the land grant, but it only amotnted to one block in twenty-six, and be had no doubt that the contractors would have preferred to get 5,000 square miles in one block wherever they selected than to take small sections scattered over the \u2018country.Time was the essence of the whole matter, and the Government was to he commended for its prompt- ude.The United States regulations in Alaska had been amended, and the diffi \u2018wittes which had existed would no \u20acr present themselves.Another objection made was that ten ders Were not called for.Members on that side semed to forget that the history fon he Conservative marty was that ten- nev | nr ta publie Tange pe in I

but it seems probable as she lies within the protection of a harbor and is mot wholy submerged that much valuable property may be recovered if the necessary action is taken without delay.The vessel with her stores, guns, material equipment, fittings and appurtenances cost approximately $5,- 000,000.As an illustration of the value of single items which may have escaped serious injury it may be said that the 10 inch guns of which the Maine carried four, were worth, with their mounts, $43,500 each Aside from the duty resting upon the government to recover and bring to this country for burial, if this may be done, the bodies of the officers and men who lost their lives in this disaster, it is believed that much valuable property may yet be saved from the vessel.In amy event it is of the utmost importance that whatever is to be done in this mat&er should be entered upon without delay.\u201cThe sinking of the Maine will be made the subject of immediate and exhaustive inquiry and Congress will be fully advised of the results of sudh investigation.\u201d HAD NOCUT MEAT LICENSE Butcher Prosecuted Under the Civic By-Law, Under the civic by-law wholesale traders in meat are not compelled to pay the ordinary license imposed on butchers, keepers of private stalls, but they cannot sell less than a carcass at a time.Last week, Mr.Nelson Bickerdike, of 196 St.Paul Street, was prosecuted before the Recorder\u2019s Court upon a report of the meat inspectors charging him with selling a quantity of cut roasts, and the case, after being argued at length, was taken \u2018en de- libre.The points raised by the defence were that the quantiy of meat sold in the present instance weighed about 2,500 1bs., consequently more that the carcase of an animal, and that it was not retailed but sold in one consignment, as it was received from Upper Canada.The retail butchers complain that whole- ealers have taken the habit of bringmg on from Ontario large consignments of cut meat, which is resold here, in quantities of one thousand, or more pounds and comes directly in competition with their own trade for the carrying on of which they pay a special license.They also allege that these consignments of meat are not made up of carcases of animals cut up ready for delÿvery, in which case the wholesalers might pretend that they are still selling only a carcass at a time, as required by the by-law, but that the consignments comprise only, certain choice pieces, such as roasts.The decision of the court will, no doubt, be awaited with interest by the meat trae in general.SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION Will Hold its Annual Meeting in the City This Week.The annua} meeting of the Sunday School Union of the Province of Quebec will be held this week in Stanley street church.A series of three meetings are planned, beginning on Thursday evening, and continuing Friday afternoon and evening.A.very attractive -programme has been prepared.oo .Miss Bertha F.Vella, one of the most prominent Sunday School workers, of.the continent, is to be ix Montreal, and will address each meeting.Mias Vella is the Superintendent of Primary work fn.Mas.sachuetts, and @ memfber of the International Primary Teachers\u2019 Union.She is a woman of exceptional ability, and a specialist in her line.Sunday School teachers, parents and others interested\u2018 in \u201cChild KLONDIKE HELPS Indian Guides Will Go With Hamilton Party.A VALUABLE SUGGESTION.Several large Orders Have Been Received for Snowshoes, _ Caughnawaga, Feb.21.\u2014(Speoial.)\u2014 About the middle of March next, Pete Canadien, who, in 1873, with his brothers, Louis and Michel, accompanied as Indian guides Mr, Tyrrel, C.E., the head of the Government exploration party through the barren, lands, and Frank M.Davis, the former dominie of the Boys\u2019 School here, will start to accompany the Mackenzie River Klondike expedition party of Hamilton, Ont.The party will start from Ed- wonton, In connection with the hardships resulting from the scarcity of provisions now experienced by the XKlondikers, Indians here state that intending Argonauts should take a leaf from the experience of the old Indian hunters.When the latter were in for a long hunting expédition, they were wont to take with them about fifty pounds of corn flour prepared in a certain way.The quantity was sufficient to sustain a man for three months.White corn is roasted like coffee, and ground, then mixed with maple sugar to suit the teste, This flour could be used with advantage when the miner is compelled to eoonomize his other food.Caughnawagas are enjoying the boom caused by the discovery of gold in the Yukon territory, and are rushed with orders for snowshoes.Never before in the memory of Indians has there been such a demand for snowshoes ae at present; the Montreal] merchants, not contented to await delivery, are here continually out bidding each other; the result is that snowshoes are getting dearer.The other day an Indian, a member of the tribe, left for Vancouver and Victoria, B.C., bringing a considerable quantity of snowshoes, which he intends selling to the Klondikers, He also wants to deal directly with the coast merchants, and do without the Montreal merchants.HOW TO SKATE.J.K.McCulloch Discusses the Subject in a New York Paper.J.K.McCulloch, champion skater, writes the New York Journal ae follows: \u2014 There are two styles of speed skating\u2014 the one usually seen in the smail covered rinks of Canada and the artificial ice rinks of New York, and the other that which is used on large outdoor tracks.In the first instance, sort, high skates are required, with three-sixteenths of an inch blade.The right skate should be sot to the inside of the shoe and the left fastened along the middle of the sole.Thus equipped with the proper outfit for small skating rinks, the novice whould skate as often as possible at an easy amd steady pace until he can take the corners as freely as he skates on the straightaway.The skate runners should be rounded slightly, go that ome can slide around the corner on the foot.This is a good test of the proper curve for the blade.Do mot try to oun the corners, as that is very exhausting., Neither should you slide them, as some do.This sliding corners constants ly shows that the skate blades are not properly designed to turn comners freely.A skater who glides the corners gains most of his speed on the straight, and one wha mmo around the turns gaing his speed on the cormers.Now, a good smail rmk, skater evens up his speed om corners and sides, and will go faster and stay bet~ ter than either a runner or a slider.When the novice finds that he can turn the corners well at a slow pace he should try aprinting a lap at top speed.His trouble.will now begin.He finds that which was easy at a slow pace very difficult at top speed, but let him persevere.When he can spring one lap he should try two, then three and four.Your is usually enough, and on most rinks is equal to a quarter of a mile.\"The novice should try tliese aprinta corners in so short a time.Let the body assume whatever position is most comfortable.At a elow pace you can carry your hands clasped behind your back, swinging them when sprinting, - Requirements for Large Rinks, The skates for large rinks are longer, sixteen to eighteen inches, and thinper im the blade, omesixty-founth to onesix- teenth, and not so high; carry the back almost horizontal, with arms folded across it, save when sprinting.Then swing them from side to side as vou skate.Most novices will find it easier if their long, thin blades are not straight on the bottom, but round up alightiy, just enough to be noticeable.A slater requires a great deal of prac tice, and my advice is to skate at every opportunity.Practise sprinting and distance work on the long skates as on the short ones.An excellent way of practising is to skate a half or mile and count the strides.On the mext trial try to do the same distance is a few less strides, making the same time for the course.Attempting to skate a set distance with as few strides as possible will cause the novice ito stride out as hand as he can, and he gradually alequires a good style.Constant practice at this is sure to make one a strorg skater.The rules for training for skating do not differ from those for any other athletic sport, At the same time, skating is more difficult to learn, and it takes longer to become proficient in it than in any other game now in vogue, There is one thing I wish to warn young skaters against, and that is the danger of catching cold.A cold caught on the ice sometimes leads to something more eeri- for that matter, cannot be too careful in regard to their health.In the way of skating outfits, buy the best.Have tights that do no bind in any way.Lost, but not least, skate in every race possible; don\u2019t be afraid to meet anyone, no matter how fast he may be.You.learn a little im every mace, and, although you may be beaten a dozen fimes, persevere, and eventually you will be a winner, QUEENS DEFEAT BROCKVILLE, Kingston, Feb.21.\u2014{Special)\u2014The old nine champions of Ontario once tmore demonstrated their superiority on ice by de- Brockville, here on Saturady night, In the second match of the semi-finals.It was a brilliant exhibition of hockey, though at Study,\u201d should not fail to hear her.| times, the visitors were a little \u201craggy\u201d every day, as nothing teaches one to cut.CAUGHNAWAGA, | | | | | | | [ ous, and young skaters, and old omes, too, | feating the St.Lawrence hockey team, of | rsa JOHN MURPHY & C0 Housekeepers NOTICE !

in fact there is too much for ms to properly deal with.| The tendency to invest money in new business is slightly on the increase, Farmers are also in a better position than for some years past.The fact that they are travelling more and are shipping more goods is apparent from the increased railway earnings.Another important fact which goes to show their prosperity is that loan companies are finding it difficult to place out moneys, the farmers having no need to borrow.\u201d , .- 1898.LE VIEUX TEMPS.(From Dr.Drummond\u2019s Habitant Poems.)

COAST FOR NOTHING Western Roads Make an Announcement, READY TO GO FURTHER Third Class or Emigrant Fares do Not Cost Anything, As a result of the C.P.R.cut, western roads have called on all of their agents, as well as foreign- representatives of the sicamship companies to boycott the Canadian road.They then asked the trunk lines to join them in their fight against their big rival, but, ws Traffic Manager MecNicholl stated this morning, the trunk lines have declined to do this, appreciating the fact that the C.P.R.is merely protecting its own interests in making its present cut in rates.| The western roads have now announced their intenfion of carrying third-class pas- _sengers for nothing, at once, and if the irate war is not speedily settled, to carry \u2018first and second- class passengers also for absolutely nothing.On Saturday the western roads sent out their circular ordering what 1s practically # boycott of the C.P.R.STREET GANG FOREMEN MUST OBEY ORDERS, Fuller Powers Given to City Surveyor St, George.-~ Careless or Incompetent Men Will be Discharged.The Roads\u2019 Committee held its first meeting this morning with Ald.Brunet, | (chairman); Turner, Dupre, Ouimet, Mar- tineau, Wilson and Gallery present.Ald.Kinsella addressed the committee on be- \u2018half of Michael Furlong, who asks the city #0 recompense him for damages sustained 'to his steigh on McCord Street.The acoi- dent was due to the excess of snow on the street.The claim was referred to the City Attorney, the Finance Tommittee, and the Street Ry.Company.Ald.Paquette amused the members of the committee by making a speech in which he asked for justice to St.Louis ward in the expenditure of public moneys by the committee.Ald.Martineau drew the attention of the comitte to the disproporion of foremen to workmen in he corporation gangs.He knew of some instances where a foreman had only two men under him and he did mot think it just to the ratepayers.Mr.St.George explained that the men had all the work in certain sections to look after.Ald.Martineau could see no benefit in this.If the foreman had mo men to do the work his time was wasted.Mr.St.George will report upon the question at the next meeting.At the request of Ald.Prenoveau, chairman of the Health Committee and on motion of Ald.Martineau, it was decided to leave the scavenger department with\u201d the Health Committee until the council passed upon the transfer.A lengthy letter from Mr.St.George was read in which he pointed out the great necessity of the formen of the corporation gangs being placed beneath his control.So long as these men were appointed by the commmittee they would continue to disobey orders and defeat him in his efforts to have the work done economically, The work had already cost $73,000 and the total cost for the year would not be less than $105,000.Ald.Martineau wanted this lack of eco- momy explained before the report was adopted.Mr.St.George's explanation was that the men disobeyed orders and removed more snow from; some streets than was necessary.The committee agreed to give Mr.St.George power to discharge foremen who mglect their duty or disobey orders, THE SUPREME COURT.A Couple of Cases Which Interest Montrealers Heard.Ottawa, Feb.21.\u2014In the Supreme Cou on Saturday, the anguments Pin The Na tional Assurance Company vs.Bernard, were concluded, and judgment reserved.\u2018Burland vs Lee wa then heard.The appeal is from a judgment of the Count of Queen\u2019s Bench, which affirmed the verdict of the Superior Court for $3,000 damages for an injury received through appellant\u2019s fault whilidt working an embossing press in appellant's establishment in Montreal, known as the Union Card and Paper Works.It was claimed that owing to the unusual speed and irregular action of the press the plaintiffs right hand was crushed and had to be amputated, making him a cripple for life.The appeal asks a reversal on the ground that the accident was attributable to (the plaintiff's unskilfulness and want of care in the operation of the machine.Stuart, Q.C., and Francis McLennan for thre appellant; St.Plerre, Q.C., for respond- t On concluëion of the arguments in Bur- Yand vs.Lee, judgment was reserved, and the appeal of the Canada Paint Company vs.Trainor was heard.The plaintiff was employed by the company to feed a printing press, and used a box as a seat whilst doing her work.The box was not nailed, but set loosely upon a platform, and as she was mounting her seat one day it tombled over and she fel and crushed her foot in the gearing of the press so severely that she was obliged to have a couple of her toes amputated.She recovered $1,800 damages in the trial court, which attributed the accident to the company\u2019s fault in failing to provide proper appliances to work the machinery without danger.The judgment was affirmed by the Court of Queen's Bench at Montreal, and the pre- : sent appeal seeks a reversal on the ground that no éauvit was proved against the company, but that the evidence showed the accident to have been caused by the plaintiffs recklessness and want of care.Stuart, Q.C., and Francis MoLennan for the appellants;

Health, DISINFECTION BY STEAM Is Recommended as a Substitute for Sulphur\u2014Üther Business.\"The Provincial Board of Health met Saturday in their offices, 76 St.Gabriel street.There ere present Dr.&.I.Lachapelle, president; Mr.H.R.Grs», Drs.R.Craik, A.Methot, L.Catellier, J.L.Desroches, W.Verge, E.Pelletier, secretary; J.A.Beaudry, inspector; W.Johnston, bacteriologist.The board is rather annoyed at new cases of smallpox cropping up from time to time since July last, but after referring to its various instructions to local boards of health, which are responsible for their execution in all details, the Provincial Board found such instructions to be very complete.; Five applications to take ice on Lachine Canal for \u201ccooling purposes only\u201d were considered by the board.¥: being represented that for many coolers in the city, when ice is once introduced, it is never taken out (it melting there), it was decided to allow local boards of health to permit the cutting and: storage of such ice, provided (1) it be for cooling purposes only; (2) the storage to be in houses or coolers so arranged that they may be dlosed and sealed by the health officer of the local board of health, \u2018and not be reopened except by his permission; (3) that \u2018bonds be given to the satisfaction of the health officer that the ice will not be delivered from such houses.Lung Testers Condemned.The proprietors of \u2018the \u201cLung testers,\u201d which have been placed in various restaurants of Montreal, having asked the opinion of the Board as to their causing no danger to public health, the Board could not see it in that light; as for instance, tuberculosis, diphthema and other diseases can be propagated through the mouth piece of the instrument.It was resolved to recall the attention of the Board of Health of Montreal to a recommendation made to them by the Provincial Board of 1892, to use steam in their routine distnfections.Steam disinfection is mudh more efficient than sul: phur fumigation and preference should be given to it for all articles that can be taken to the disinfection station.The Pro- vineial Board is also of opinion that if the lacal Board was offering steam disinfection instead of sulphur fumigation at the death of a consumptive, although the disinfection is not dbligatory in such cases, more consents from families would be secured.of.Health of Montreal, since two years for the collection of certificates of death, was reported as working very satisfactorily and, therefore, the Provincial Board resolved to recommend to other cities and towns to adopt it.It is decidedly an improvement to have the certificates deposited at the Health Office when the in- out delay than to have them collected first at the cemetery.The Provineial Board seeing that there was a movement among barbers to adopt their instruments has decided to make suggestion as to the best methods to be followed in this direction.The board's regulations were amended has reason to suspect that a contagious disease exists in the family of one ot certified that the disease is not contagious, press about the control of schools by the

\u201cImmoral Consideration\u201d Defence Failed.\u2014\u2014 The action of Beament Shepherd against Jaines Skelly and James Gannon was maintained this morning by Judge Doherty, who rejected the defence based on the ground of immoral consideration.Gannon had been employed to make collections for Lefbevre & Co.Getting behind with his ;returns, he gave notes for the amount of ithe shortage, \u2018these netes being endorsed | ,by his cousin, Skelly.The notes were i negotiated before maturity with the Can- {adian Bank of Commerce, whose cession- \u2018aire Mr.Sheppard, the present phain- tiff became.The main plea to the action | was that Skelly had endorsed the notes under the threat that if ®= did not do so criminal proceedings would be taken «against Gannon, and that such a consideration was agamst good morals, and had the effect of invalidating the note.The court held that the ~ threat alleged hud | not been proved, but that it had only been established that Messrs.Lefebvre had threatened to dismiss Gannon if Skelly did not endorse.Under the cireumstances judgment would go for the amount tof the notes, $269.BIRTH WARE \u2014 At 166 St.Charies Borromee
