The Premier hesitated a moment and lied: \u201cU1 think I may say that Japan wants to get possession of all the ships building for her as soon as possible.- Officers have already been ordered to bring the Kasgi and Chitose to Japan, and the brilders have been requested % hasten their completion.However, I wish to have the United States understand that Japan retains the Kasagi and Chitose, not of a lack of willingness to oblige her, but because Japan needs them herself.\u201d \u201cIn case of war between the United Étates and Spain will Japan allow the war- tüips of bothe belligerents to take

the morgue yesterday by Mr.Ohas.-Mell, contractor, and by Mrs.Adams, as that ef her son, George, aged sixteen, who lived with her at No.217d St.Martin street.The inquest was held at the morgue this morning.Mr, Chas Mell, who employed young Adams as an apprentice, spoke ot him as a steady young man, who never tasted liquor, and who was a regular attendant at the Sunday school chapel on Inspector street.The untimely end of young Adams is very sad indeed, as he was the only support of his widowed mother.None of the other witnesses knew anything or saw anything of deceased till the body was found.The jury retired for a few minutes, and brought in a verdict of accidental death, AFRAID HE WILL GO MAD.An Ontario Farmer Sent to the Pasteur Institute of New York.Hamilton, Ont., March

in the Pasteur In- stitufion, it being thought that he was bitten by a cat which was suffering from hydrophobia.A; short time ago a dog owned by Mr.Johnson acted strangely, a8 if mad, but before it was shot it bit a cat and a cow.The cow died in a few days after being bitten, and this greatly alarmed Johnson, who had previously, however, killed both dog and cat.His friends urged him to go Toronto and consult specialists, and they expressed the opinion that the dog and cat were mad, and order- A him to go New York at once and he id so.THE SUPREME COURT, A'Number of Cases Were Taken!

WILL MAKE TROUBLE, He Will Sue J, Murphy, the Alleged Private Detective, for Damages.HE GAVE A LAWYER $25.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Photos Were Stolen from His Room by Reporters, He States.THE ARREST WAS AN OUTRAGE, The arrest and subsequent honorable acquittal of Henry Stonefield is likely to ccuse a good deal of trouble for.several people, particularly for John Murphy, the railway mail clerk, who, it is alleged, passed himself off as a detective, and was the direct accuser of Stonefield.The latter was brought before Mr.Justice Sicotte on Saturday afternoon, and a number of witnesses quickly proved that Stonefield was an honorable young man, ad that he had not been away from the city during the past five years.Among these for whom he worked and who can testify on his behalf are Messrs.MoCaf- frey, the American laundry; Mr.Thomas Love, ex-Ald.James, McIntyre, the tailor; Mrs.Stafford, of Beaver Hall Chambers, and a mumber of others.As was expected, Murphy, the accuser, saw his mistake immediately after the arvest was made, and was not to be found when Stonefield was arraigned.The judge in giving the prisoner an honorable discharge, declared that he was leaving court without a stain upon his character; and that the unforutnate arrest was much to be regretted.\u201cSomebody will regret it,\u201d said Mr.Samuel Harris this morning.Jt was in , Mr.Harris\u2019 auction room on St.Peter street, that the arrest was made.Stone- field was a trusted employe, and was busy at work during a lively sale when the arrest was made, .\u201cI maid,\u201d continued Mr.Harris, \u201cthat the man was no more guilty than I, and demanded that we should be shown the authority for the nrrest.Murphy promptly said that he was a \u2018detective, and that his name was Murray.When I asked to see the papers which gave him the right to make the charge, he pulled some put of his pocket, saying: \u2018There they are?but he would not let me see them.I protested strongly, saying that I would be réspon- sible for the man\u2019s appearance at any time on any day.It was no use ;.he was lugged off to jail, and though he could \u2018 prove his entire innocence in five minutes, ; he was locked up in e cell for the night.I have fully determined to stand by him and | shall not let money stand in the way of getting justice done to a man who has been outrageously treated through another man\u2019s greed for à paltry reward of money.\u201d Mr.Stonefield is undoubtedly very much upset by the occurrence.He said to a Herald reporter to-day: \u201clf British justice reigns in Canada, as.it is supposed to do, I shall expect a share\u2019 of it in my case.Take the facts and look at them: \u201cIn front of probably 300 people, many of whom knew me only by sight, and at the fime, of course, did not know of my inrocence, I was openly dharged with murder.A man who is in the employment of the Government passes himself off as a dectective and forces the high constables to drag me away to a cell where I was locked up and treated as though I had already been senténced to death.The matter will be pushed to the end in un effort to get justice done.\u201d There is another phase of the case otherwise than the disgrace of the arrest.Stone- field is a hardworking fellow, and never loses a day when work is to be found.While employed recently, he save up $25 for a miny day, and this was in his room at the boarding house.He was seen in his cell by a lawyer named Desrosiers and, he says, he sent to his boarding \u2018house, got the $25 and handed it over to the lawyer.foo is going to repay me?\u201d wsks Stone- Geld.Again, the unfortunate man worries over the publication of his likeness in some French mewspapers.It is claimed that the representative if one of those papers broke into his room and stole two photos.This matter is also placed in the hands of Mr.Edmund Guerin, who has been, retained by Mr.Harris to act for Stonefield.\u201cIf there had been the slightest evidence against me I would not have objected to the publication of the picture, providing they could have gotten it honestly,\u201d says Mr.Stonefield, \u201cbut in the same trticle that they tell of my undoubted innocence, they publish the picture of the accused man.The theft of the photos is a bad piece of business for some one.\u201d Murphy, the man who caused the arrest, is expected here at noon to-morrow, should he decide to face the result of his serious mistake, He is about 50 years of age, and has been in the employ of the postal department since 1874.It is stated that he acted entirely on his own responsibility, and that the Massachusetts authorities are not to blame.\u201d Whether or mot, the local unthorities acted with discretion will be discussed when Mr.Guerin and his client have come to a decision.JAMES DOHERTY'S DEMISE Well Kuown Lumber Merchant of Sherbrooke Passes Away, Sherbrooke, Que., March 14.\u2014(Special)\u2014 After a severe illness of only a few days James J.Doherty, aged 49 years, and ibro- ther of Mrs.H.Dorey, Montreal, diel of pneumonia at his home here yesterday

after a three months\u2019 visit in England.The object of Mr.Piers\u2019 visit was the purchase of two steamships for the Canadian Pacific Railway\u2019s Klonuxe business.These two steaîiners will ply between -Vancouved and Fort Wrangel.As reported in the Herald some time ago, the two boats were purchased from the Union Steamship Company of London, and ran formerly between Southampton and the Cape of Good Hope.The Tartar has a tonnage of 4,400 and the Athenian 3,900 tous.In case .m additional boat is required on the Japan or Australian route either one of these two steamers would be equal to the requirement of such service.They each have accommodation for 110 first-class passengers and 200 second-class.The third-class accommodation of both steamers can easily be expanded to suit 400 paseengers should business require it.Whilst in England Mr.Piets superintended the refitting and equipment of the two new stéamers.Some seventy-tive pas- sangers from England are taking advantage of the opportunity for a trip around the world in the two steamers.Both steamers are making excellent time, as the Tartae was reported at Conception on Tuesday last, and the Athenian is just seven days behind The Tartar.They will arrive at Vancouver the first week in April, HOLDEN WAS TAKEN FOR À BURGLR, And Shot Down With à Winchester Rifle, The Terrible Mistake Made by Mr.Bradfield of Morrisburg.tenet Morrisburg, Ont., March 14.\u2014A; sad shooting fatality occurred here Saturday nignt 1m which Fred.Hoiden, a young man of this town, was accidentally shot in iistake for a burglar, from the efiects of which he died this\u2019 morning.\u2018After midnight, or shortiy after, a light was discovered in the office of Bradfield Bros.& Co., hardware establishment.Burglars being suspected, Mr.Harry Bradfield was notified and with the assistance of a couple of constables, well armed, surrounded the store.A few moments later a form was seen to come out of the office, and Mr.Bradfield, who was stationed at the front door with a Winchester rifle, fired.The man dropped to the floor.A lamp was secured, and it wae fund that the suspected burglar was none other than the firm's clerk, and grandson of the or.vantner, and that a terrible mistake had been made.A physician was summoned, and it was found that the ball had passed through the upper part of one leg and lodged in the other.The bullet was easily extracted.The patient, from loss of blood, together with the awful shock, was in very weak condition, and passed away about noon on Sunday.Great Sympathy is expressed for the sorrowing mother and family, and for Mr.Bradfield\u2019s unfortunate connectivu with the affair.The deceased was only 20 years of age, was well liked and very popular, and his untimely end has cast a gloom over the entire community, JUST ANOTHER FAKE, Was the Story About Mr, Bauneau\u2019s Resignation, Speaker Edgar Dees Not Rimow Anything About It.Ottawa, March

Halifax, N.S., March 14.\u2014(Special.)\u2014An immense amount of dissatisfaction exists in Halifax and Nova Scotia over the present freight rates on the Intercolonial Railway, and a revolt is brewing over the abeurd mail arrangements between Montreal and this city.There has been a general increase in the freight tariff on both local and long haul business, and it is set forth that the charges on westbound goods Lave been arranged so as to work to the advantage of Montreal merchants, and the disadvantage of the provincial shippers.There is no question about the tariff being much higher all round than under tite old management, and as the business men ot the Province and the capital city thereot were led to expect an improvement in the form of reduced rates, there is growing indignation over the situation now present ed.The unsatisfactory mail service, which has also given rise to protest, gives Hall.fax only one mail per day from Montreal, whereas, under the former railway arrangements, it had two mails per day.Two trains now leave Montreal every evening except Saturday, bound for this city, one by the C.P.R., the other by the I.C.R.Starting as they do practically at the same hour, there is but one mail to bring.These traing arrive in Halifax close together, travelling through Nova Scotia one behind the other.One of the several unfortunate results of the present arrangement is that letters posted in Montreal Friday night are not delivered in Halifax until the following Tuesday morning.Under the former time-tables there were two mails from Montreal for Halifax each day, one train, the I.C.R., leaving Montreal in the morning, the other, the C.P.R., at night.Another outcome of the new time-table is that it takes forty-eight hours to receive mail matter from Boston, while it takes only half that length of time to send mails from this city to Boston.E Fulton, a prominent furniture manufacturer, and a leading Liberal of Colches- ter County, in the Chronicle, strongly denounces the new freight rates on the In- tercolonial.After giving a comparative table of the new and old tariffs on goods which he makes, Mr.Fulton.says :\u2014\u201cT'his will show an average increase of nearly fifty per cent.on this very common class of goods.I am inclined to think it will not prove a very popular tariff with furniture dealers or with furniture buyers.You can see at a glance the position it puts local manufacturers in, as compared with jobbers and manufacturers in the West, where rates are now low.The large jobbers in Montreal, who are in a position to ship by the car load, can get a rate to Nova Scotia of thirty-five cents per hundred pounds.It appears to be the old story of the local interests of the Maritime Provinces being made to suffer, while the large conoerns in the West reap the benefit.There is a general increase of about twenty-five per cent.on goods of third and fourth class, in which are included many of the ordinary lines of groceries and hardware, but in some cases very much more; for example, a barrel of flour, which formerly was thirty-two cents for two hundred miles, is now forty-six cents, an increase of nearly forty-five per cent.One of the most vexatious things yet remaining to be noticed is the rate on small parcels.i have before me a bill of freight on sixty pounds from Truro to Londonderry, seventeen miles, thirty-five cents; and another of twenty pounds, Halifax to London- derry, seventy-nine miles, thirty-five cents.Side by side with this, I have one of 1% pounds, Kingston to St, John, over 400 miles, only thirty cents.This same parcel cost thirty-seven cents, St.John to Lon- donderry, less than 200 miles, I am convinced that this great advance in local rates will not be relished by the people when they are once made aware of its extent.\u201d In a closing paragraph, Mr.Fulton says 3t almost escaped my notice that the changes in rates were especially severe on Halifax.It will pay the Nova Scotia factories to draw their products to Halifax by teams if this tariff continues, ST- JOHN COMPLAINS TOO.The Merchants Say Their City is Being Discriminated Against.St.John, N.B., March 14.\u2014(Special) .\u2014 The feeling all over the Province over the new freight tariff on the I.C.R.is very strong in condemnation of it.Mr.Harris assured the Board of Trade here that it would be no \u2018higher and asked that it be given a fair trial.A fortnight of it shows that on goods shipped from this city to points along the line of the I.C.R.freight ranges from 10 per cent to 100 per cent higher, than under the old tariff, and the general feeling here is that the local trade will be dircted to Montral ang Quebec.It is claimed that every business man is being affected, not only here but all through the Province.Shippers of produce and lumiber are loudly complaining.In fact such a wail of discontent has never before been heard in connection with the I.C.R.The working out of the new tariff presents.some curious features.The first important fact made clear is that the rate is most increased for short distances, This is true of all the ten classes into which the goods are divided.But the rate on goods of the first class is for longer distances rather less than it was before.Dry goods are among the goods in this class.On heavy goods such as heavy hardware, the rate is higher.Speaking generally, most of the goods shippped come under ci&sses three and five, and on these there is an increase.A significant fact is that the rate on goods less than in carload lots from Montral to Campbellton is 25 cents while the rate from St.John to Campbellton is 27 cents.This is a clear | discrimination against St.John.The rate on trunks has been raised forty per cent.But a carload of trunks can be brought from Montreal for less than one can be sent from here to Halifax.This 1s a discrimination against the St.John manufacturer.Another point is that if a carload of mixed goods is sent by St.John merchants to a Provincial point, all the goods in the car have to pay the rate of the highest rated goods in it.That is, if all but a little of the freight is in, say a twenty cent.class, and the balance in a thirty cent.class, the whole lot must pay the thirty cent rate.A GENERAL DENIAL.Head Office Does Not Agree With Maritime Merchants.At'the head office of the Government System the following reply to the statement was given to The Herald:\u2014* There has not been a general increase in the freight tariff on both local and Jong haul business, neither have the charges on west bound goods been arranged to work to the advantage of Montreal merchants, and the disadvantage of the provincial shippers.THE RUSSELL CONTEST, Both Sides Are Putting Up a Warm Fight.The Roads Are in Poor Condition for Campaigning, » Ottawa, Ont., March 14.\u2014(Special.)\u2014 Both political parties are making strenuous efforts to capture Russell County.There has not been much betting on the result yet, but the little that has been is in favor of Guibord, the Government candidate.Hon.G.W.Ross is looking after the contest in behalf of the Local Government.He has got Organizer Alexander Smith with him.The Ottawa Liberals and the Liberal members of the House ot Commons are taking a hand in the fight.For the Conservative candidate, Mr.K.R.MacLennan, M.P., with George Moyer, organizer, have charge, and speakers are being supplied from the Opposition in Parliament and from Ottawa Conservatives.The roads are in a deplorable

grading of the 0.& N.Y.Railway line north of Cornwall will begin about April 1st and it is expected that everything will be in shipshape and ready for traffic within sixty days from that date.Owing to much of the work being carried on late in the geason last fall, a good deal of it will have to be gone over, especially the embankments m the ewampy places, to make the roadway perfectly secure.Brennan & Foster are already at work on Cornwall Island, and the operations south of the river will be begun shortly, George E.Thomas, manager for the Sooysmith Company, who have the contract for the foundations of the International O.& N.ŸY.bridge, has arrived in town from Pass l\u2019Outre, La., and has a staff of men at work preparing to finish the masonry.A large quantity of cut stone has been delivered on the north bank of the Cornwall Canal, and derricks to handle it are being put up.It is intended to put in the piers for the swing bridge across the canal first, taking advantage of the water being out of the canal.Everything will be in readiness when the water goes out, on April 1st, and the work will be finished before the opening of navigation.The completion of the piers in

DOESN'T LOOK LIKE PEACE, If Canadian Pacific Insists on Restored Rates Tomorrow's meeting WII Fail.MAY BE A ARMISTICE.Temporary Peace Best That is Hoped For Now, RATE WAR DEPENDS ON IT \u2014 \u201cPeace at once, or the bitterest kind of a fight,\u201d said a railway official this, morning, \u2018\u201cwill be the result of to-mor- row's meeting in New York.And to tell the truth, it doesn\u2019t look very much like peace,\u201d he added.\u201cIf the Canadian Pa- citic ot] insists that ra! e9 nugt Re restored to the old basis, pending arbitras tion of the questions at isswe, it seema to me there is not going to be much of a settlement,\u201d The officials of the western roads have been congratulating themselves on what they regard the backdown of the Canadian Pacific, because that line has consented to be represented at to-morrow\u2019s meeting of the Joint \u2018Traffic Assucfatgon in New.York.It is learned, however, that the C.P.R.has in no way receded from its original position.In fact, it is definitely unaerstood that Manager MaNicoll to-mor- row \u2018wall still demand an armistice, in the torm of a complete restoration ot rates, betone leaving to anbitration those questions from which originated the present tate war.Whether or not the American lines will agree to this, remains to be seen.\u201cAs far as I can judge from the complexion of things,\u201d said a C.P.R.official to-day, \u201cto-morrow\u2019s meeting will usher in an armistice, \u2018This does not mean ime mediate peace.It means simply a cessation of hostilities, for burying the dead \u2014\u2014 and a few other things.We want to see first a restoration of rates, and a return to the status quo ante bellum.After this has been brought about, we shall te ready to enter into discussions regarding our differential.\u201d Grand Trunk Against Differential, A Grand Trunk official, in discussing the probable outcome of to-morrow\u2019s coufer- ence in New York, said that everything depended on the action of the Canadian Pacitic.\u201c\u201cL£ the Canadian Pacific still insist on their differential there is not mudh hope for an agreement.This they have been doing right along, in the face af everything, and thus they will probably continue to do.At the miost, the only thing , that can be done at to-morrow\u2019s meeting 1s to arrive at some basis of agreement, and arrange certain preliminaries of peace.But it is a self-evident fact that the western roads will mot consent to the granting of any transcontinental differentials to the Canadian Pacific.\u201d Traffic Manager Reeve and General Passenger Agent Davis will represent the Grand Trunk at the Joint Traffic Association to-morrow, and Traffic Manager MecNicoll will mepresent the C.P.R.It is impossible to judge just how long the meeting will last.It may end in one day, or it may drag for weeks.However that may be, the result of the present rate war will hinge upon to-morrow\u2019s meeting.Although there have been a number of rumors about further cute, rates are remaining the same as before.None of the lines care to further complicate matters until the outcome of the conference ja made known.THE KAISER OFFENDED.Kaiser Wilhelm has applied through \u2018his Ambassador to the English censor of plays to have stopped a song that is being sung nightly in the London music halls.The lyric which offends His Imperial Majesty is entitled the \u201cMailed Fist of Germany.\u201d It begins in this fashion :\u2014 Fitzsimmons met the Kaiser, And they warmly hugged and kissed, Old Fitz he had his gloves on, Bill had a mailed fist.The Kaiser he grew nasty; They had a blooming row; The Kaiser hit Fitzsimmons\u2014 © Where is the Kaiser now?DREDGING LICENSES.Opposition papers have been pointing to the list of licenses to dredge for gold in rivers In the Yukon District as evidence of how friends of the Government are being helped to large slices of the public domain.As a matter of fact, the Dominion Treasury has been considerably enriched by the fees paid for these licenses, while the Ii- censees are in possession of permits, the value of which is entirely problematical.In the opinion of Messrs.Slaven and Boyle, who have just returned from the Klondike, these licenses are worthless.ACcording to them, the majority of the streams in the Territories are too small and too swift to permit of dredging operations, while in the case of the larger rivers there are only a few miles of mud that can be dredged-all below being frozen.In most cases, the pay streak is found at some distance from the bed of \u2018the present stream \u2014evidently in what was the bed of tha ancient river.Of course dredging may be successful on streams like the \u2018Saskatchewan, or on the bars of the Yukon, where the conditions above described do not exist.BRITISH AND FOREIGN MAILS.The mails for Great Britain close at the Montreal Post Office during the present week, as follows :

PASTOR FO ST, JAMES CHURCH A Sketch of Dr, Williams, of Sherbrooke, AN IMPORTANT FIGURE.\u2014\u2014mm He Has Held a Large Number of Important Offices, Shepbrooke, March 14.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The Rev.T.G.Williams, D.D., pastor, of the Methodist Church of this city, has accepted the pastorate of the St.James Methodist Church, (Montreal, and will leave bere for Montreal early in June pext.Dr.Williams is a native of Ontario, and was born near Belleville.He received his early education at the Ira quois College, and afterwards completed hig course at Victoria University.He was appointed a probationer in 1863, and was ordained in 1865.Dr, Williams is a self-made man.Like many others who have distinguished themselves, he succeeded in accomplishing the end which the aspirations of hig energetic mind had marked out by turning his hand to var- fous occupations, such as teaching and business, he was enabled to pay his way through school and college.His first ministerial charge was in the Perth district, and later he took charge of the Rawdon Church.Seventeen years of his subsequent life he spent within the district of the present Montreal conference.He also filled the position of chairman for the district for seventeen years, and was president of the conference in 1883 and again in 1890.He was a member of the General Conference in 1878, and où each succeeding conference up to the present date; also of the General Board of Missiona for sixteen years, and the General Conference Court of Appeal.His name is intimately connected with the Protestant Union, of whidh he was one of the principal agitators.On Dec.18th, 1881, Dr.Williams, in conjunction with the Rev.G.H.Graham, convoked the first meeting over which Dr.Williams presided, and the question was discussed.In 1883 the Union was tormed.The subject of this sketch was called to Sherbrooke from Montreal four years ago, and has been invited by the board to remain the fifth year of his term; but in consideration of his having been called to the St.James Methodist Church, Montreal, by a unanimous vote of the official board, the members of the church hete feel it a duty to waive any claim they might have on him here.Dr.Williams is \u2018held in the highest esteem\u2019 here.His wellknown figure will be missed in Sherbrooke, mot only by those of his own congregation, but by all denominations.He frequently exchanged pulpits with the Presbyterian and Baptist ministers, and during two months in summer the churches are amalgamated so as to allow each respective minister to enjoy his vacation.His powers as a preacher rank high, and are well known in this Province and in the adjoining Province of Ontario.Dr.Williams has always been an ardent worker in temperance matters, and takes great interest in all éducational move- _ mènts of the day.FAMOUS ROLLER BOAT The Inventor ofIt Will Build Another : in Montreal.The inventor of the famous roller boat, .Mr.Frederick Knapp, is staying at the Windsor.He is still very sanguine as to the ultimate success of his idea, and Mr.Knapp now announces that he will build a boat in Montreal and roll it across the ocean.In all probability a limited company will be formed to develop the scheme.The capital of the company will be $1,000,- 000 in 10,000 shares of $100 each.Vo CRUSH OF FREIGHT.Yort Huron, Mich.,, March 12.\u2014The amount of freight handled by the Grand Trunk at this point during the past month is unprecedented in the history of the road.During the past ten days the record for number of cars handled in 24 hours has \u2018been - broken four times.The first time it was broken 1,150 cars weré sent through the tunnel.The following day, the number was increased by 100 and on Sunday last, 1,356 cars, making 54 trains, were sent through the great subway.Tuesday last 1,560 cars came into the yards and were sent through the \u2018tunnel, 62 trips of the big Mogul engine being required to handle them.In former years when transportation was made by the car ferries 500 cars in 24 hours was big busi- mess.The.contents of the cars handled at present is mostly general merchandise, ï CORRUPTION CHARGED.St.John\u2019s, Nfid., March 14.\u2014The new tariff meets with general approval, and is expected to prove benefidial to the colony in the creation and enlargement of local industries.Some startling revelations were made in the Legislative Assembly, showing alleged corruption and extravagance on the part of the late Liberal Government.It was asserted that thousands of dollars had not been wccounted for, that the army is useless, and that \u2018\u201cheelers\u201d had been paid from the contingency votes in several de- \u2018partments.The most glaring case is one, where a customs official, ayo collected only $31 in the year.is said to have been raintained üfong the west coast of the island at a salary of $2,000.\u2014 NO NEW STATION FOR TORONTO.Mr.Shaughnessy, when shown a des- pateh from \u2018Toronto stating that the C.P.R.was about to withdraw from its agreement with the Grand Trunk in the joint maintenance of the Union Station in Toronto, made the following statement: \u201cThe report is absolutely without foundation.The Canadian Pacific and the Grand Trunk are practically joint owners of the Union depot, and neither party has ever sigified its intention or desire to withdraw from the partnership.\u201d Mr.Logan, on behalf of the Grand Trunk mada practically the same statement.ttt \u2014\u2014\u2014 aren.HAMILTON'S DENTAL, London, March 12.\u2014Lord

street east, occupied by .the Do- .minion Wire Mfg.Co., Robt.Currie, Storage warehouse, and the Zopesa Chemical Co., was found to be on fire.The brigade to be a hard one to fight.It started in the rear of the building and the marrow lane was a bad place from which to work, Several streams were soon pouring in from Front street, but in spite of the best cfforts of the firemen, the flames crept on in the rear.Shortly after 5 o'clock the roof fell in and flames leaped out both front and rear.At 5.30 the heat had become so great that the firemen were compelled to abandon the lane.There was also a fear that the wall might fall, and the narrowness of the lane would have r:ade it impossible for them to escape.As it was, several of the men were injured by falling bricks.At that hour the Dominion Wire Mfg.Co.'s premises and the Zopesa Chemical works had been completely gutted and the flames were making steady progress in the establishment of Larkin & Co.Next door east of this is the wholesale liquor store of R.H.Howard & Co., and that also was in immediate danger of complete destruction.About 6 o'clock the front section of the roof fell in.The fire raged on, but after abput an hour\u2019s hard work, it war finally got under control.It is caleulat- ed that the loss will be from $125,000 to $150,000, and may run over the latter amount, Mr.Larkin\u2019s etock of tea was valued at about $40,000, pretty well insured.Tt was completely destroyed by the fire and water Mr.Larkin says, however, that as the firm carries large stocks in Montreal and Buffalo, the business will not be hampered to any serious extent.Mr.Howard is insured fm the Hartford and other companies for $30,000.The buildings were the property of the Worthington estate.They were pretty well ingured.The fire started in Currie\u2019s warehouse, The insurance on the goods stored in Robert Currie\u2019s place was very heavy, and the insurance companies interested, of which there are twenty, will suffer a total loss, the fire having destroyed everything.The largest amounts were held by the Lancashire, $16,000; Atlas, $12,000; and Western, $12,000.: AYRSHIRE ASSOCIATION.Two Important Live Stock

Western States, and they siate thai the two best washers so far found are inventions of Canadians.Tho working models were experimented with in the rooms of the Canadian Mining Ex- habit Co., 650 Craig street, with the follow- i1g results: The best test was one where two pounds of sulphurets of cooper were washed and 80 per cent.of the copper and jron pyrites were saved.The pulp hud been passed through a blank mesh.Four samples of this ore taken at different depths and finely powdered were most sue- cessfully treated.This demonstrated the fact that the centrifugal principle, upon which this washer works can be applied to the concentration of sulphide ores enabling the miner to successfully handle low grade propositions.Seven small grains of gold were placed in a quantity of coarse sand.The washing drove out all the sand with the exception of three or four large crys- Tals and left seven grains of gold visible to the eye.The second washer is even more simple.It can be made to weigh about eight pounds, and the prospector carries it is a covering to his pack.The use of either of these washers can be earned in \u2018half an hour.They are des tined to popularize placer mining in as much as they simplify it to a very great degree, GRAND RIVER BROKE LOOSE AT GALT.Several Bridges Carried Away and Much Property Damaged.Galt, March 14.-One of the largest and most disastrous floods in the memory of the oldest resident passed down the Grand River through Galt yesterday.The river was considerably swollen above its normal condition at this time of the year all day Saturday, and the residents ot Galt came to the conclusion that they were going to have a very mild experience in the matter of floods this spring, but their expectations were disappointed.Yesterday anorning, about 7.30 o'clock, the monster ice-jam at Blair gave way, and came rushing down through Galt at a frightful speed, carrying everything movable along with it.Blocks of ice eighteen inches thick and as large as the side ot à house, whole trees, roots and branches attached, a foot and a half at the trunk, hewn timber, loose boards, fence rails and outhouses by the score were carried along in the rushing and roaring torrent.A great amount cf damage to property has been caused.The first bridge to go down was the smaller one near Blair station, on the public road leading to Preston.The next bridge to suffer was the upper bridge, Galt.The middle span was carried entirely away, and the other two spans are badly damaged, as well as all the stone piers.The loss is estimated at $5, 000.The flooring and stone piers of the Main street bridge, and the lower bridge in Galt, have been damaged to the extent of probably one hundred dollars each.The wooden bridge known as the \u201cfoct bridge,\u201d about three miles down the river from Galt, was washed away.Factories and private residences located on the river banks have suffered considerable damage.The volume of water in the river increased rapidly and to'such an extent as to overflow the whole of the low- lying portions of North and South Water street, to the depth of two feet.The inmates of several private houses had to be carried out to places cf safety.The basement of Cherry Bros.\u2019 touring mills was full of water, causing damage to stock, and the stone work of the mill rage wag badly washed out.The basements of all the manufaciurihg establishments situated on the river are full of water and huge ice boulders, but the damage, if any, cannot be definitely stated until the water goes down.It is known, however, that the Gait Knitting Company will be heavy losers, as their dyeing works, a briok building at the rear of the mills, was completely wrecked and the first floor, occupied by the uperatives was covered with water two feet deep.Cley Bros., grocers, in the Imperial block, claim a loss to etock of over a thousand dollars.Traffic on the Galt branch of the Grand Trunk Railway, which runs parallel

coal-bearing lands on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, from the United States boundary northward.A charter is being applied for from the boundary as far north as the Alaskan line.The road will cross the Crow's Nest Pass line at right angles, and thon follow a course between the Porcupine Hills and the Rockies.It will probably touch Banff, and be extended northerly as necessity arises or advantageous opportunity occurs.Coal of a heavy bituminous character has been discovered along the most part of this route, and it is believed that a large business can be developed in supplying the large communities to the south of the border.= i.PRESBYTERIAN CITY MISSION, The report of Rev.James Patterson, the Presbyterian city missionary, shows that during 1897 he paid numerous visits to

cwused the Grand River to go on its annual Sunday rampage.Early yestorday morning the water began to rise | and about 9 o'clock the flats were almost : covered with water.Most of those living on the flats, amticipating the flood, , moved to safe quarters.At 11 o'clock the | firemen went with life-boata to the flats and took off the only occupant in the fiooded ecction.At the junction of Oxford street and the G.T.R.crossing the .water got over the track and soon had a patch washed out about two feet deep .and about fifteen feet long.Men and ,Ç teams were soon at work, and with sand ° bags got the gap filled and water stopped.: At the mortliwest part of thy jshiow grounds the walter had rieen so high thas | it was running over the top of the dyke.I Here also men and tears were at work | waking matters more secure.After dark the water on the Grand : River began to rise, and by half-past nina it had reached the top of the dyke.The | men at work repairing the dyke at the northern extremity of West Brantford | bad to abandon their work.The water began to come over the top, and they were in danger of being caught.Warning was given iaxmediately to the citizens of West Brantford to move out.At ten o'clock the fire bell rang calling for assistance.The firemen, with the life boat and waggons, and the citizens with waggons, proceeded to the rescue.Quite a number had moved out, but there are some remaining.At 10.30 it was reported that the dyke had gone.The water last night has been running through West Brantford at a good speed, three to five feet deep.Sidewalks are floating away.The Grand Trunk have an engine and some flat cars and about twenty men at work filling in with earth the part of their track that has been washed out, \"ALCOHOL DISAPPEARED.But the C.P.R.had no Right to Dismiss Mr.Jarvis for That.In the case of Jarvis against the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, Judge Archibald has condemned the company to pay Mr.Jarvis\u2019 claim for $100 for wages.Mr.Jarvis alleged that he had been engaged as storeman by the company, and that, on the 9th of March, 1897, he had been dismissed without notice and without cause.The company pleaded that Mr.Jarvis, as storeman, had been placed in charge, among other things, of a tank of alcohol, of which he had had the only existing keys, and that, about the end ot February, it had been ascertained that there was a shortage of six and a half gallons, equal in value to $27.62, and that this had constituted a good ground for the dismissal, as well as for the deduction of the amount from Mr.Jarvis\u2019 salary, which deduction had been made.The court held that a servant was bound to exercise due diligence in the care of proper- | ty entrusted to his care.If, notwithstandr ing the most faithful attention on the part of the servant, the property was lost, stolen, or destroyed, the servant was not liable.In the present case there Was nothing against Mr.Jarvis but a suspicion resting upon the assumption that he only kad had access to the alcohol.That as sumption was clearly weak.A\u2019 suspicion of misconduct could not justify an em- Dloyer in discharging a servant without notice, unless he chose to pay wages during the notice period.The company\u2019s position in the present case was untenable, ahd Mr.Jarvis\u2019 action would be maintained, ag above, with costs,

and if they cannot make the laws, they can by this means prevent the making of the Jaws which the people\u2019s chamber passes.\u201d Any such act, Mr.Blake declared, would be \u201csimply am unconstitutional way of thwarting the people\u2019s will.\u201d There is undoubtedly a strong effort being made at Ottawa to induce the Con- gorvative majority in the Senate to reject the Yukon Railway bill, and there can be no manner of doubt that those who urge the rejection of dhe bill do s0 in the hope that thereby there wili be a material political advantage gained by the Opposition.If it were clear that nothing but advantage to the Conservatives would follow the rejection of the bill there are few who would mow have serious doubt as to its fate, but the fact is that the leaders of the Senate, upon whom the responsibility of a wrong step must fall, are far from certain of the co uences of rejection of the kill.Sir Frank Smith, Mr.Sanford and Mr.Drummond are all understood to be opposed to taking any action that would defeat the bill, and as these gentlemen may he considered as representing the sentiment of the business community their influence will doubtless count for a great deal.Sir Charles Tupper, the leader of the party, is also said to be satisfied with the opposition that he has offered to the bill in the House of Commons, and will for this and cther reasons use his influence with his friends in the Senate to prevent interference.The other factor in the s?tuation is Eir Mackenzie Bowell, whose party feel- irga arc admittedly strong, but who is in no mood to endanger his personal reputation for the sdke of Sir Charles Tupper, whom he hae not yet forgiven, nor for the sake of Mr.Foster, Mr.Wallace and the cthers, whom he never will forgive.Reporte from Ottawa indicate that Sir Mae.kenzie is preserving a sphinxz-like silence, aiming to get all possible advantage out of the situation when the moment for action ghall arrive.This struggle withing \u2018the party shows, at least, that a few of the leaders of the Conservative majority in the Senate realize the impropriety of any attempt to dictate to the popular chamber on sudh a question as this.Those Senators who have seen the conditions change, and who now find them- aclves.representing districts that were Liberal, may well pause before inviting the consequences of thwarting the will of the popular chamber.One Quebec division, for example, has a Conservative Senator, appointed long ago, and three Liberal members, elected quite recently.And this condition must naturally be repeated in many other divisions.It is not believed to be probable that the Senate will reject the Yukon Railway Ml, but there is, nevertheless, some danger arising out of the desire to obtain a party advantage.It is as well té bear in mind at the outset that this question of party advantage is the only one that seriously The Conservative Scnators are thämking not so much whether sult of their votes will have a good or evil effect on their party and their house, ABUSING MONOPOLIES.The Toronto Star makes the application to the Uovernor-m-Uouncil of the Bell Telephone Company for power to increase its rates to subscribers, and the consequent attacks on that company as being a monopoly, and therefore, not entitled to considerable, a text Tor suitable ve- marks on the unfair attitude assumed by &o many people, and so many papers, toward corporations.A moment's reflection will show that there is no possible reason why five men, pooling their money, in order to conduct an enterprise that demands a large amount of capital, should be entitled to either better or worse treatment at the hands of the public, or of the (Government, than an individual embarking on a similar enterprise.In all probability the combination of capital will result in the direct adventage of the community.One of two courses is open to the public with reference to services which are in their nature natural monopolies, or which can most economically be conducted as a monopoly.The public can itself, through municipal, Provincial or Federal authority, assume control of it, or it can delegate a monopoly to one company.We may as sume that if the public does not take control, it is because it is more advantageous to leave it in private hands.In that case it is oniy according to the simplest political morality that the private concern should be treated fairly and not tharassed and abused.Yet public opinion\u2014often swayed Uy demagogues\u2014is ever ready to put the harshest construction on the actions of incorporated companies, and to accuse them of being enemies of the public weal.Commenting on this well-known attitude of the public the Toronto Star says: \u201cBusiness companies are denounced with- cut stint; grasping, grinding.selfish, soul- Joss and several other similar adjectives are get aside for their especial benefit.The desire of the directers to make money for themselves and the shareholders is cou- sidered unholy, and nearly everything they do is looked upon with suspicion, The politician who may say a word in thew favor, who may dare to endorse one of their requests, is treated as an enemy of the people and the creature and tool of monopolies and corporations.So common has become this habit that it is becoming exceedingly uncomfortable to accept a pos- tion on the directorate of a corporation.\u201cThis was the sort of talk indulged in by several of the deputationists who opposed the Bell Telephone Company's application, and, in objecting to further similar tirades, Mr.Blair was merely asking that business, and facts, be stated, not dema- gogiery.\u201cThe Telephone Company may be wrong in its wishes, but it is entitled to fair play, and arguments against its demands will have far more effect than the sort of pleading w uinst which Mr.Blair protested.The Bell Telephone Company is a business concern, its directors are honorable business men, and its shareholders a good class of the community.The company gives a good service, pays its debts, treats its patrons well, and requires courtesy in its employes toward the public.It saye it is lcsing money on certaïn parts of its business, and asks .power to increase rates.If the application is not well founded it can best be defcated by argument, not abuse; if it is justified, them unquestionably it would not be fair to the company to ask it to continue to operate at unprofitable rates.\u201cThe Bell Telephone Company, along with other companies which serve the public, have rights as well as the people, and one of those rights is the right to the decent treatment which is cvery decent man\u2019s due, and which is also due Mr, Blair, whose objection to demagogic tirades is Lot necessarily endorsation of the company\u2019s application.\u201d : BLKINS AND HIS FIGURES.Senator Flkins\u2019 absurd speech on the Canadian Pacific Railway is aptly described by the Boston Herald as indicating \u201ceither profound ignorance of the subject or en entire indifference to truth.It is one of those cases where the exaggeration is so obviously gross as to defeat the end the speaker doubtless had in view.\u201d This conclusion would be justified were the people who heard the speech, or who read it, as well informed on the history of the Canadian Pacific Railway as is the Boston Herald.Unfortunately, they are not, and there is little doubt that the Senator\u2019s speech Las done much to strengthen the false impressions as to the relationa of the C.P.R.to the Canadian and British Governments that have for many years existed in the minds of many citizens of the Republic.The Herald is a nctable exception to.the rule that the papers of the States have published Senator Elkins\u2019 speech without attempting to place before their readers the facts in the case.Our Boston contemporary, on the contrary, analyses the Senator's sbabe- ments, and proves them, one and all, gross perversions of the facts.It shows that instead of receiving $215,- 000,000 of public money, as alleged, not compared with the grants of money to partial transcontinental lines inj States, such as the Union or Northern Pacific, the subventions to the Canadian transcontinental \u2018line are comparatifaly small, The C.P.R.receives a subsidy for carrying mails to China and Japan, but it has nothing to do with the Australian or Atlantic lines of steamers.\u2018The amount received by the C.P.R.for carrying mails is less than $800,000 a year\u2014only about two-thirds of the sum paid the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railway for mail service between Lake Superior and the Pacific.The railways of Ohio received for the mail services during the past fiscal year $4,387,000, or about six times as much as the C.P.R.received.In the matter of freight, the United States Treasury reports show that last year only 5,350,000 tons of American merchandise were carried by Canadian roads.Senator Kikins said that in 1895 the U.P.R.alone carried 800,000 ¢ons ofl such freight.He also alleged that the U.P.R.is annually depriving its Amer- fcan competitors of $50,000,000 in earn- irgs.The gross earnings of the C.P.R.last year were $24,000,000.The Herald utterly upsete ail the Senator\u2019a figures\u2014but, as facts have no terrors for this gentleman, we may expect him to cling to his figures, be they up or down.A DISORGANIZED OPPOSITION.The character of the opposition to the Yukon Railway bill was well shown in the amendment offered by the Opposition.This amendment was not laid before the House until the debate had proceeded for weeks, and until every phase of the ques- econemiocal production and distribution to tion had been thoroughly discussed.After £L one-third of this sum has been given;

not only so, but it was found to be impossible to draw a resolution for which all the members of the Opposition would vote.Messrs, Costigan, Bethune, Blanchard, Hale and Hughes, the first for many years a Conservative minister, and the others firm adherents of the party in ordinary matters of policy, voted against the resolution offered in the name of the party by the member for Halifax.It is matter for common remark at Ottawa that the Opposition is practically devoid of discipline so far as the proceedings of the House are concerned, but it was to be expected that, on so important a mea- cure ns this, some show of harmony might have been made.The House is frequently treated to the spectacle of ome or more junior members of The party attempting to catch the eye of the speaker at the same instant as Sir Charles Tupper, who had evidently not been consulted on questions of tactics in the House, but surely this pulling and dragging might have heen expected to cease when, after weeks of consideration and discussion, it became necessary to frame a simple resolution in opposition to the policy of the Government.And when, instead of this result being attained, a former Cabinet Minister and four others voted against the amendment tendered by their associates in opposition, the public can only conclude that the insubordination and lack of harmony in the party, which became manifest at the first caucus of the session, extends even farther than wag then made to appear.The'friends of the Government who have watched the conduct of ¥his debate with interest from the day the announcement vas made until now, have every reason to be pleased with the success of the Ministers in justifying their action.The final tribute to their success in this respect was the inability of the Opposition to frame an amendment which could commend itself to the Conservatives in the House.MAY LOOK FOR ANDREE.Washington, D.C., March 14.\u2014lhe State Department has received from the Government of Sweden and Norway King Oscar\u2019s conditional acceptance of the offer made through the United States Government by Walter Wellman to carry free ot Charge upon his North Polar expedition steamer, Laura, which is to sail from Trom- soe, Norway, June 20th, a party of Swedes to search for their countryman, Professor Andree, in Franz Josef Land.The Government of the King does not expect to send out a search expedition, says the Minister of Foreign Affairs at Stockholm, but if no news of Andree is received by uly, gratitude would be felt if Mr.Wellman would permit several persons familiar with the Arctic regions to accompany his expedition for that purpose.The Government of the King has learned with deep gratitude of the courteous and generous offer made by Mr.Wellman.ALL PAPERS DON'T.Employer\u20141 have placed you in a responsible position, and I hope you will not abuse my trust.Clerk\u2014Certainly not; only the news papers abuse a trust.W.J .PALMER, SITE po Practical Watchmaker and Jeweller, 372 ST.ANTO!NE STREET.Fine Watch Repairing | RECA PES | Gazette du Oredit (Paris),\u2014Here is a fact which should give the measure of the speculations for which the gold bearing placers of the Canadian! North-West serve as a pretext in England.A syndicate entitled \u201cTHe Klondike Gold Syndicate,\u201d with a capital of 25,000 pounds sterling, in one pcund shares, promises its shareholders | interest of 20 per cent per annum, payable monibly.It offers to each purchaser of one hundred one pound shares a free pas sage to Dawsén.\u201cAn enormous profit says the prospectus, \u201ccan be made on this ticket, through the inpouring of emigrants into the new Canadian gold fields.\u201d Too much importance must not be at- iteched to these\u2019 inducements, more or less ingenious and peculiar.less indicate a-state of opinion of which unscrupulous jobbers will seek to take advantage.oo .In its last number the Canadian Gazette said that every day 120 to 150 persons came to the High Commissioner\u2019s Office 1n - London seeking information on the differ ent methods of reaching the Klondike.\u2018Twice as many come to the Canadian Pacific London office.These figures give an idea of the excitement which reigns in London.Le Colonisateur Canadien\u2014Reflect a little.We are told that at least a hundred thousand men are going to the Klondike this year.These hundred thousand will spend on travelling expenses and pro- | visions at least a \u2018thousand each, so that the gold seekers will spend a hundred millions this year.- Does anyone imagine that a hundred millions of gold will be got out of the Klondike next season?No dcubt some will be fortunate; but the others?It is just a lottery; but a lottery where not only.a few dollars saved, or to spare, are risked; the stake is much more valuable; life or at Jeast health is staked on one chance in a thousand.La Verite\u2014They do well who laugh at La Presse\u2019s project to divide the Klondike into two dollar acre claims, for never was such a senseless scheme laid before the public .La Presse\u2014This (Friday) morning the House rejected the Borden amendment by 119 to 65, and adopted the main motion by a majority of 39.This vote clearly indicates the state of mind of the majority of the House.The Yukon deal will be accepted by the Liberal party as was the Drummond project, as will any job, no matter how monstrous it be, prepared by the Government, and whose rejection would mean defeat of the Government.It is upon this fear of the loss of power that the Ministers speculate.\u201cIt must go through or we go out,\u201d said Mr.larte, and so the bilk goes through.But this vote takes none of their force from the just and thoughtful criticisms of the opponents of the bill, and in mo wise lessens the value of Mr.Foster's masterly address of last night.La Patrie\u2014La Presse continues its disloyal and calumnious attacks upon tha Laurier Government.There is nothing astonishing in our contemporary daily defaming the eminent and sincere men whom the Canadian people has placed at the head of affaire.What does it matter to those exotic scribes that Mr.Laurier does honor to his Province and his country?I acts and men are nothing to those people.: Lia Patrie\u2014Who would put money in it?We hear it répeated every day that the three millions of acres granted to Mackenzie & Mann are worth

have?And there is none Who can say yes.\u201d Both sides of the House were silent.\u2018These two simple questions reduce to nothing the theory of the milliards, so dear to our socialists and so often

brief war, wherein the United States has nothing to gain, except a sense of dis agreeable duty faithfully performed.It is a simple truism in polites to say that vastly greater issues hang upon the American policy with regard to the fate of na then anything the United States may do concerning Cuba and Spain.It 1s now almost true that mothing short of a distinct and decisive American endorsement of the British policy in the Far East can avert a odllision between England and her continental rivals.I say almost, because it is not yet guite clear whether Russia and France are convinced that Great Britain is in earnest that she will go to war rather than permit the partition of China ot the closing of the British markets there.This dowbt, if it exists, will soon be removed, for the Salisbury Government has taken means to carry conviction to the mosl sceptical diplomatists on this point.Then, and the time cannot be long delayed, the Franco-Russian attitude will change or the war which these countries by their recent policy, have almost been inviting, will come.Russia Will Hesitate.\u201cMost dbeervers are fnclined to believe that Ruasia will manage to postpone the fatal day, for her present unpreparedness, despite her ultimate intentions, is notorious On the other hand, if Great Britain is canvinced that the conflict is inevitable, sooner or later, it will be greatly to her interest to force the issue, : \u201cThe British war preparations for months past have been om a vastly larger ecale and more thorough than the present measures undertaken in the United States.There is need of mo argument on this situation to demonstrate the vast import- snce of the American attitude.It is this obvious importance, probably, which has @ven rise to free discussion of an Anglo- rican alliance in the past few days, a disuossion which is more prominent on your side of the Atlantic, according to the cable despatches, than on this side.i shud be said unreservedly that there land th e slightest expectation in Eng- at an alliance will be made at the Bom coment Or in the present situa- Enol: is hardly necessary to add the ngligh denials to those from Washington that

things.The spectacle which a united country has presented under the leadership of President McKinley has commanded the respect of England, excited the warmest feeling of sympathy and silenced cavilling criticism.\u201cThe touch of Anglo-Saxon fellowship is here, but imagination is lacking, for all the speculation with which the cables have been loaded during the last fow days.The conjectures respecting the Queen\u2019s intervention in the Cuban affair; Sir Julian Pauncefote\u2019s mysterious errand at the White House; the hypothetical questions nddressed by the State Department to the European powers, and the American eagerness for alliance with England and Japan, are not seriously discussed here.The fact that causes general stisfaction is the complete change of feeling in America toward England since the Venezuelan affair and the rejection of the arbitration treaty.\u201d - Washington, March 14.\u2014The progress made upon ships of all classes building for the navy is accurately presented in a report made by Chief Constructor Hichborn.The battleships Kearsarge and Kentucky, which are to be launched on March 24, are 56 per cent.completed, and the Illinois, building at the same yard, and contracted for one year later, is 43 per cent.finished.The Alabama, a sister vessel, under way at Cramps\u2019, has made the same progress, and at San Francisco the Wisconsin, a prototype, is 35 per cent.completed.Only one cruiser is building, the Princeton, at Camden, N.J., and she is within 6 per cent.of completion.This vessel will be delivered in one month, and when commissioned there will be no other unprotected cruisers building for the navy.Of the torpedo boat class the Rodgers at Baltimore is 92 per cent.completed; the Rowan, building at Seattle, is 91 per cent.completed, and the Dahlgren, building at Bath, is nearly half completed, but neither of these boats will be in service under three months.The Farragut, Davis, and Fox are between 60 and 70 per cent.completed; the Morris and Mackenzie are little further advanced, and the (McKee, Stringham, Goldsborough, and Bailey have just a little more than started.The submarine boat Plunger is but 65 per cent.flnished and is two years overdue.This list comprises every boat building for the navy.At the present rate all will be in commission within sixteen months.WEEK AT WASHINGTON.Tne Doings of the Past Seven Days Wil Make History.Washington, D.C., March 12.\u2014While today was not marked by particularly important events,the history of the week just closed will form a record of what can be accomplished in a short space of time under the spur of recessity to provide for naval defence.Beginning with the appro priation of $50,000,000 to be expemded by the President without limitatwon, there followed rapidly the placing of orders for crormous quantities of war supplies, the institution of negotiations for the purchase of ships abroad, the enlistment of mem for the navy, the creation of two additional regiments of artillery, the commissioning of monitors, cruisers and rams, the manning of new posts along the sea coasts and finally the re-arrangement in military practice.\u2018 The President held a long conference about moon to-day with Secretaries Alger, Long and Gage.It is presumed that their subject of discussion was the finances of the situation, à subject which coma not be fully treated at the Cabinet meeting yesterday, owing to the short session.After the conference the statement was again made, with the emphasis that has characterized every

largest orders of shot and shell for heavy calibre guns ever given, including armor piercing projectiles and deck piercing and torpedo shells.These projectiles are for the heavy fortification guns now mounted along the sea coast.The purchase is not to be made under the $50,000,000 defence appropriation bill, which grants $940,000 for a Teserve supply of projectiles and powder.A WONDERFUL WORK Done by the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge.Two hundred years ago a band of members of the Church of England, in London, formed themselves into a society for the purpose of promoting the dis- &mination of Christian knowledge, not merely among people speaking the English language, but among all the peoples of the earth.Most wonderfully has this object been accomplished.And this year, wherever the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge has during the past two centuries served the cause of Christianity, is being celebrated the bi-cen- tenary of the society\u2019s organization.In Montreal, yesterday, special ser- Vices in commemoration of the occasion Were held in St.Georges Church.His Lordship the Bishop preached fm the morning, and the Very Rev.the Dean in the evening.Both preachers spoke in termd of warmest appreciation df the great work of the society had done and is doing.Dean Carmichael graphically sketched the position of England in relation to the other nations of the world in 1698, and today.During these two centuries.of marvellous maitional and material growth, Englishmen, moved by that strong sense of duty which is the saving grace of the

and Another Method Sought for.Toronto, March 14 \u2014Presbyterians are wrestling with the knotty question of the supply of the vacant pastorates and the settlement of itinerant ministers.The probationers\u2019 scheme has been condemned and the committee is hunting for another method.The committee which was appointed at the recent conference in Knox Church to prepare a raport on the matter has drawn up a report to the General Assembly, which will be submitted to.the Presbytery for discussion at the April meeting.The committee has found the present system to be unsatisfactory and will report that it sometimes prevents resignations where resignations are advisable.The committee will ask that \u2018every minister, when settled in a pastoral charge, shall be required to spend at least five years in said charge, before applying for hearing in vacancy.\u201d It will be proposed that every presbytery shall choose annually a committee consisting of three members, to whom all applications by settled ministers and vacant charges shall be submitted, and by whom all appointments shall be made.The committee will ask the Assembly to appoint for the synods ot Montreal and Ottawa, Toronto and Kingston, and Hamilton and London, a supply committee, to whom all licentiates desiring settlement and ministers without - charge shall be reported by presbyteries, and through whom they shall receive hearings in vacancies.\u2014 U'KEEFE IS AHEAD Looks as if Liberals May Gain a Seat.1 Mr.Brewer, the Conservative Member .for Bast Higin, is Seriously Ill.Ottawa, March 14.\u2014The recount of the votes polled in the Provincial elections in Ottawa was continued till midnight Saturday.So far, George O'Keefe has gained eighteen votes, thus making him five ahead of Mr.Powell, giving him credit for eleven votes in the rejected polling booths.Only about half the vote has, however, been as yet recounted.The moss perplexing case that has occurred wae the unravelling of the returns from poll No.7, in Dalhousie Ward, where W.A.Cole was deputy returning office.He neglected to fill in form 11 in poll book.The poll book shows that 192 persons voted and there are 199 ballots in the box.These ballota were cast as follows: \u2014 Lumsden, 112; O\u2019Keefe, 87; Powell, 100, and Slattery, 95.The returns made to the sheriff on election night on the form supplied for that purpose gave Lumsden, 111; O'Keefe, 83; Powell, 105, and Slattery, 65.Stratford, Ont., March 14\u2014The South Perth election recount is still unfinished and an adjournment has been made until

Saturday morning and concluded at four p.m.All the disputed ballots have been decided except one in which the number had been torn off.This ballot is marked for Beck, the Conservative candidate, and with it he has a majority of two.Judge Masson will give a final summing up to-day at two © clock.Toronto, March 14.\u2014Rev.Dr.Dewart stated Saturday that as there are forty- six tendered ballote, the election of Mr.Marter, in North Toronto, will be protested.Toronto, March 14.\u2014It is said by Conservatives that it was the intention of the Ontario Government to have Hon.J.M.Gibson nominated in Russell County, and Hon.G.W, Ross attended the nomi- ation for the purpose of gauging the feeling of the constituency and proposing the defeated Minister if advisable.It is said, \u2018however, the Minister of Education would not take the risk of nominating a gentleman so little known in the riding.The St.Thomas Journal seriously discusses the appointment of Mr.MacNislt, Liberal member for West Elgin, to the position of Minister of Agriculture, in place of Hon.John Dryden.The Journal speaks of the appointment as a certainty, and says it would provide another opportunity for testing the trend of public feeling in that constituency.If reports are to be relied upon, there may be developments in Fast Elgin.Mr.C.A.Brewer, the Conservative candidate, is said to be seriously ill from blood poi- covery.So another seat may shortly be vacant.| Co HOSPICE OF ST.ANNE.Has Recently Been Acquired by a Que\u201d bec Religious Institution.?Quebec, March 14.\u2014(Special.) \u2014 The Little Sisters of St.Francis, incorporated at the last session of the Queec Legislature, have acquired the Hospice of Ste.Anne, at Baie St.Paul (Murray Bay), including the farm, farm stock, agricultural implements,

all old: timers of the mining camps, and has had posdibly more frontier experience than any woman in Canada.Speaking to a.report er, Miss Cashman stated that she had spent three years in and around the Cas- siar and Klondike regicns, having gone into the Cassiar with the rush of 1874.For three years Miss Cashman travelled in the Cassiar, and nearly as far north as the present Dawson City, being

great amount of snow and slush and at the time the Coquitlam ieft it was very difficult for men to get along the trail without pack horses.Some parties are getting along quite well having ascended the river a distance of 75 miles, and others have progressed to various points from there to the mouth of the river.Small steamers can now go up the river and land their passengers on the solid ice so that with the exception of the quantities of slush that make travelling hard, things are looking more hopeful.Skagway, March 6.\u2014Via Seattle, Wash., March 12.\u2014Rumore were rife a day or two ago that serious complications were threatened between prospectors bound for the Yukon and Canadian officials, at the new custom house, fourteen miles from Skagway.It was reported that three hundred men had banded themselves together for the purpose of resisting payment of duty.Investigation, however, proved that the story was unfounded.Duties are being collected with the greatest regularity, and there has been no refusal to pay them.Those who have paid duties say that that the Canadian customs officials have not shown an arbitrary or exacting spirit, On February 27th, a Montreal party, with

inspector to Lake Bennett.\u201cNo,\u201d replied Captain Strickland.\u201cYou're on British soil, and you can tell your convoy to get.\u201d Inspector Cates returned to Skagway, and reported the occurrence to Deputy Collect or Floyd.Mr.Floyd will continue to instruct the convoys to accompany any goods to Lake Bennett, even if they are turned back by the Canadians until he hears from Washington.Between Skagway and White Pass there are estimated to be 6,500 people lining the route, but beyond the Pass an equal number are making their way over the lakes.With the burning of the steamer White- law, the outfits of 110 passengers were destroyed.The steamer itself is said to have been fully insured.OF THE HUMAN KIND.The well-known orientalist, Prof.Ah]- wardt, has at

car was within a few feet of McEnroy.The latter evidently failed to hear the clanging of the bell, and before the motorman had an opportunity to stop his car MeEnroy was knocked down, the car going

Burns, Jockey.Other Sport.San Francisco, Cal., March 12.\u2014The gen- cral opinion here to-day is that \u201cJoe\u201d Choynski is a clever, honest fighter, with a good, vicious, jabbing blow, that he uses at frequent intervals, landing on the face, and that Sharkey is a mad bull.Choynski could no more stand before him last night than a sapling can stand before a hurricane.Tt was Choynski\u2019s jabbing on the nose that | augered Sharkey.: Two or three well directed blows were delivered, and then the sailor lost all control of himself.He rushed his man around the ring time and again, dealing blows that would have done credit to a sledge hammer, and at last, by impact of fist and body together, literally hurled his opponent \u201cthrough the ropes and down among the foet of the spectators, who were dancing and yelling like a lot of wild Indians.It was when the police interfered, and the referee, George Green, otherwise known as \u201cYoung Corbett,\u201d distinguished himself and had a narrow escape from personal injury by his remarkable ruling that = twenty round contest was a draw in the eighth round.In San Francisco's experience with prize fighting many odd things have occurred, but surely nothing equal to the exhibition last night was ever witnessed here before.The sport here has been killed, that seems pretty sure.Which Mun Won?Jf Sharkey fought as men say he did, then Choynski should have been given the Cecision, according to the opinion of local gporting men, but if Choynski had the worst of it, and he was unquestionably unable to go on, then the \u201cSailor\u201d should have taken the money.One man has been robbed, however you look at it, is what sporting men here say.\u201cl was robbed,\u201d Shurkey said to me, immediately after the fight, \u201cChoynski never had a chance.He went through the ropes this way.\u201cI hit him on the shoulder with the left end then put my right on the point of the jaw.My timekeepers counted ten on him twice, and he wus dead out.I suppose the only way to fight a fellow in this town is to have netting around the ring so that in case I hit him he won\u2019t fall out.\u201d Choynski did not agree with his opponent.\u201cI never had such rough fighting in my life,\u201d said he.\u201cFor a few rounds every- tning went along all right, but when I commenced to jab Sharkey on the nose he commenced his old time style of rough fighting.He fouled me at least fifty times, liitting in clinches and trying to break my back against the posts.I should have had the decision.\u201d .\u201c\u201cSolly\u201d Smith, feather-weight, said: \u201cThe decision given by George Green was absolutely the worst I ever heard.I can\u2019t imagine how Green figured out that any fight could be made a draw on a foul.That's nonsense.Then he was wrong in stopping the mill on a foul.Thera was none committed.The referee himself admits that there was no palpable foul.\u201d Goddard Scores Green, \u201cJoe\u201d Goddard\u2014Green gave a farcical decision.How can a contest be declared a draw on a foul?\u201cJim\u201d Jeffries\u2014Sharkey fought foul all the way through.Green explains his actions satisfactorily to himself at least.\u201cIn the last round §harkey rushed Choynski to the ropes and both men clinched,\u201d said Green.\u201cSharkey kept pushing and when one of his hands was freed, I do\u2019t know which hand it was, he shoved it up under Choynski\u2019s chin and pushed him through the ropes.That was a foul, but I wus not sure that the foul was intentional.There was a mint of money on both men, and I did not wish to burn up either end of it.\u2018Joe\u2019 was dazed by his fall and unable to go on, still, as I could not be sure Sharkey intended to foul him, I don\u2019t see how else I could have decided.I think my decision was just.\u201d © HOCKEY.\u2018A RAILWAY MATCH.The C.P.R.Delorimier avenue offices added another to their already long list of\u2019 victories on

Amateur Standing of Students.New Haven, March 12.\u2014The Executive Committee of the Inter-Collegiate Track Athletic Association met here this evening to take action on the letter received from the English universities regarding an international athletic meet.The delegates resent were: President, I.N.Smith, Yale; Captain Perkins, Yale; Oliver Shiras, Cornell; J.D.Winslow, jr., Penn.; J.C.Barring, jr, University of New York; B C.McVitty, Princeton; J.T.Williams, Columbia, and B.H.Haynes, Harvard.Pre, sident Sullivan, of the Amateur Athletic Union, was present to consult with the committee, concerning the registration question.He wis given a hearing, and the committee appointed a sub-committee of three to draw up a new resolution to be present el to the A.A.U.It is understood that the Inter-collegiate Association will not withdraw from the position it has taken, but nothing official can be learned until the committee meets to-morrow.Another subcommittee was appointed to enquire into the charges made by Capt.Brown, of the University of California, charging professionalism in Eastern colleges.The commmittee will dispose of the atter.The letter irom England wa then read and the committee Will to-orrow draw up a reply.The letter from Cambridge University Athletic Union is as follows: C.U.A.C., College, Feb.21, \u201998, To Oliver Shiras, New York.Dear Sir, \u2014In acknowledging the challenge you sent ,us from the American universities I promised that the matter should receive our full consideration and said that we were already in communication with the Oxford U.A.C.The two committees have considered the various difficulties to be overcome.On some of the points you were willing most kindly to consult our convenicnce.Others could, no doubt, be removed by subsequent arrangement.But there is one great dii¥- culty which we fear makes it impossible to arrange at the present time any meeting between the American and the English universities.The status of representatives of this club as amateurs and as students is, and is rightly required to be, beyond suspicion.But if we are properly advised, these points are not equally clear in \u2018the case of some American mniversities and colleges.We gladly recognize that some of your colleges are doing their best to remove such difficulties and your letter fürther assures us of your wish to render the status of your members beyond suspicion.We trust that this result may soon be attained, but for the present we feel that the most prudent course in the interest of amateur athletics both of America and of England, is to decline your proposals under existing conditions.We thank you for your Tetter and hope that at no distant date it may be possible to arrange such a meeting as you are good enough \u2018to propose, I am, Yours faithfully, F.L.Cayler.President C.U.A.C.None of the members of the committee would express an opinion as to what action would be taken to-morrow, nor what would be the reply.President Sullivan said regarding the registration difficulty, that he wae anxious to avoid difficulty wth the colleges, but that some sort of registration for amateurs was absolutely necessary and nobody had proposed a better arrangement than the one now in effect.This evening President Swift, of the Intercollegiate Track Athletic Association, announced the appointment of a committee to draw up the reply to the letter of the English universities.He said the reply would request that the Cambridge and Ox- for athletic authorities state, what, in their opinion, constitutes eligibilty for amateurs.The committee would also ask for an exchange of ideas on several topics and an exchange of rules governing contests would be requested.The committee would work toward an understanding such as will be likely to bring about an annual international meet.The American colleges, he said, are willing to concede all that is reasonable, but believe that the Englishmen have been misinformed

His History.\u201d Commenced His Career on the Turf When 13 Years Old.Tommy Burns, the crack jockey, has written a history of his career as a jockey.Here it is: \u201cI don\u2019t know how rniany mounts I have had, nor how many winners I have ridden since I became pro- nrinent.In fact, I don\u2019t know when I did become prominent, unless it was at Milwaukee in the summer of 1896.I rode at least one winner a day for 60 days there, and it got so toward the last that nearly everything I rode was a 4 to 5 shot.James McCormick was there with Burns and Waterhouse\u2019s horses, and he wante# to take me to California with him.I don\u2019t know whether Tom Hurns, who had me under control, was willing to let me go or net, but he left it all to me, and I said \u2018No,\u2019 and the deal was off.I continued to ride, for Mr.Hurns, and for whoever else Mr.Hurns allowed me to ride, until last fall, when he transferred his contract with me to J.W.Schorr, who paid him a bonus of $6,200.\u201cI was born 19 years ago at Port Hope, Ont.That seems like a funny place for a jockey to come from, but it\u2019s mo funnier than Kokomo, Ind., when you figure it out.The way I got into the icing buei- mess was quite matural.Tom Hutms is my second cousin, and he was always around YLorses, runners and trotters, and from the time: I was eight years old\u2014I was very small for my age\u2014he kept telling my father \u2018and mother that some day he would take me away and make a jockey of me.I was more delighted wlth the idea than I was with my early experience in that line.\u201cMy folks kept me at school until T was between 11 and 12, and then thev let me ro with Mr.Hurns, being quite sure that he would take care of me.He took me to Windsor, and my education as a jockey great jockey, but if he doesn\u2019t get the right mounts ndbody will ever notice him.A boy may be riding a 100 to 1 shot, and may do something at some part of the race that will attract somebody\u2019s attention.The next time you see him on a 10 to 1 shot, and perhaps he will be first at the finish.I don\u2019t pay much attention to the betting\u2014I never bet myself or have anybody bet for me\u2014but a jockey can always tell how he is getting along by the odds that are quoted against his mounts.It is not hard for a jockey to make a reputation if he hag it in him, but it is easier to lose it.\u201cI rode with Tod Sloan and his brother, Cash Sloan, at the Indiana tracks.At that time Tod was not eo pronounced as he is now, and I wasn\u2019t paying any more attention to him than he was to me.1 don\u2019t remember how be rode, but from what I can understand his style is not the same as mine.I sit well forward on the horse, but do not ride with as short a rein or lean as far over as he does.1 believe in getting away from the post well, and manage to do so as often as the next.\u201cI believe ulso in taking the shortest way of the track, and taking any legitimate chance to get through when I'm pocketed.I have never found any difficulty in protecting myself and getting even in case anybody tried to shut me off.I depend more upon my hands and heels than upon the whip.I use the whip only in the last few strides, when the finish promises to be close, unless I am \u2018pack in the bunch on a loafer.\u201cI pay a great deal of attention to traîners\u2019 instructions, but I find in f£o® cases out of five trainers do not know how their horses should be ridden.\u201cI ain glad of the chance to go Fast next summer, and I am saticfied that I will be able to give.a good account of myself.I may go to England ix'*99\u2014if I'm good enough.\u201cT.Burns,\u201d THE CHAMPION THREE YEAR OLD.Speculations as to What Animal wi, Win the Title.Just now it is not profitable to make a prediction as to the coming three-year-old champion.Hamburg was undéubtedly the crack two-year-old last year, and if \u2018has ever played here.ous candidate in any company had he not been raced to death.He has been running in California all winter, and it is doubfful he will be in shape for the spring derbies.Basing an opinion on their two-year-old form, Hamburg, Previous and Plaudit look to have the best chance in th: important three-year old stakes.RACQUETS.MR.SHAW'S CHAMPIONSHIP The Boston Player Wins the Canadian Title.Pinal! Game on Saturday Afternoon, Shaw vs.McTler.On Saturday afternoon the final game for the racquet championship of Canada was played in the Montreal Club\u2019s court.It was won by Mr.Shaw, of Boston, run- ner-up in the recent contest in Boston for the championship of America.Mr.Shaw \u201cis a very brilliant player, and probably the best amateur from the States that It was most unfor tunate that Mr.Rolland, champion of America, had strained a tendon in his leg last week and was unable to meet Mr.Shaw, Great interest would have been taken in the game.From the showing of Mr.Shaw in the Montreal court it was evident that he would be able to give Mr.Rolland a closer game than the finals at Boston.Mr.McTier was Mr.Shaw\u2019s opponent in the final on Saturday.A number of spectators were present, luncheon having been served to a large party before the game.Mr.MeTier started out very rapidly from the first.Mr.Shaw was not properly set before the game had gone against him.Mr, McTier

me off, but he called back to me fo hold on and let him run.\u201c1 cbeyed instructions, and the horse ran four miles before he stopped, tired out.He never did any good afterward.\u201cBefore I was put to exercising on the track I learned how to keep my seat by practicing on a pony that must have had a dash of broncho in him.He used to buck with me, and T spent as much time on the ground as I did on his back.\u201cI rode my first race at Roby, Ind.in the winter of 1892, My mount was Governor Porter, owned by Captain R.R.Rice.The weather was cold and I slipped the breeches and colors over my ordinary clothes and weighed out with everything at 55 pounds.James Mclaughlin was starter, and he was very kind to me at the post.1 finished second to Jimmy Irving, who rode Walcott, and every one said I did well.\u201cColonel Lewis Clark set me down at Memphis, for, as he put it, trying to put Jockey Morrison over the fence.He did not let me ride again until after the Louisville meeting opened.After my reinstatement I travilad all night fram Louisville to St, Louis to ride Macy in the Inaugural Handicap.I won, and returned the same night to Louisville, where I won most of the important stakes.\u201cI rode all summer at 85 pounds, and can still do 90 without reducing.At my present rate of increase I think I shall be able to ride below 100 for two years more, and possibly longer.I am naturally smail.My father is a little bit of a man, and my mother is not much bigger.I have three brothers younger than myself, and they are all as small as I was at their age.My oldest sister is two years older than I am, and she weighs about 110 pounds.We all call her big.\u201cIf I were asked what I owe my success to I would say the opportunities and the horses.A boy may have it

the other colts owned in the east, Previous was the only two- year-old in the same class with Hamburg, but he was most inconsistent.Good judges predict that Previous will make it hot for Hamburg in the three-year-old events.They will not meet in the Withers, the stake in which Domino and Henry of Navarre, Handspring and Hastings fought their first battle.Hamburg and Previous will meet in the Belmont.This race will furnish a Archduke, half brother of (%ifford, who Beat Hamburg at Saratoga, will not be a candidate for honors in this country, having been shipped to England by his new owner J.S.Curtis.The Hugenot, brother of the famous Henry of Navarre, won a number of good races, but he is not likely to develop into a crack like his illustrious relative.These include the best of the three- year-olds owned in the east, but it may be that some of the others will show improvement in their three-year-old form and carry off the rich stakes.The writer believes that if Mr.Hendrie\u2019s Harvey had not gone oft at Saratoga last year he would have been a factor in the fall stakes at the eastern tracks.At Toronto, Hamilton and Detroit, the colt showed high form, but he was taken ill at the Spa and was un- äble to fill his engagements.He has wintered well, having furnished into a grand colt and should be a great three-year-old.Because he is by Himyar some critics pre- diet that Harvey will not grove a stayer, but the same argument has not been used in the case of Plaudit, who is by the same stallion.Plaudit is owned by J.E.Madden, the former owner of Hamburg.This colt is the favorite for the Kentucky derby.He was a good two-year-old, and while he beat Ben Rrush over a distance of ground, he finished behind Mr.Hendrie\u2019s Laverock in a race in which he was the favorite.Plaudit is one of the best of the western three-year-olds.His most formidable rivals are Umbrella, Bill McGuigan\u2019s Bannock- burn, Lieber Karl and Presbyterian.Last spring Bannockburn was a high-class two- year-old, his best race being against How- land.Unbrella Bill has high hopes that Bannockburn will win a number of stakes for him.Lieber Karl and Presbyterian never won any races last summer against the crack youngsters.Virginia Bradley\u2018s Traverser would have been a danger- 2 A = 2 2 3 8 = 2 2 g Z HE =% Ee #2 ea HR u I Vu 4 just received into stock the first lot of
