Disaster Occurred 60 Miles Off Sable Island at 5 0'Clock Monday Morning.The Crew and Passengers of the British Vessel Managed to [Rescue 200 People.but the Rest Went Down to the Bottom of the Ocean.SHIP STRUCK, TOWED INTO HALIFAX An Officer on the Ship Thinks He Saw a Second Vessel Go Down\u2014A Number of Canadians Were on Board the Ill-fated Vessel.Halifax, N.S.,, July 6.\u2014(Special.)\u20141he British iron ship Cromarty was towed in here this morning by the Allan Liner Grecian, with her bow torn away by a zollision sixty miles south of Sable Island, with the French steamer La Burgoyne, which went down ten minutes later.Of the 600 passengers and crew on board mly 200 were saved.One woman was saved by her husband.The captain and otner deck officers went down with the ship.Lue Cromarly to and pahed Uv the 200 passengers and seamen who were rescued, transhipping them to the Grecian which came along at that hour.The log of the Cromarty signed by Capt.Henderson, is as follows: \u2014 On July fourth at 5 a.m., dense fog; position of ship 60 miles south of Sable Island; ship by wind on the port tack,heading about W.N.W., though under reduced canvas, going about 4 to 5 knots per hour.Our fog horn was being kept going regularly every minute.At that time heard a \u201cos raised port beam, which seemed to be nearing very fast.We blew horn and were answered by steamer\u2019s whistle, when all of a sudden she loomed through the fog on our port bow, and crashed into us, going at a terrific speed.Our foretopmast and main top gallant mast came down bringing with it yards and everything attached.Ordered the Boats Out.I immediately ordered the boats out and went to examine the damage.I found that our bows were completely cut off and the plates twisted into every conceivable shape.The other ship disappeared through the fog.However, our ship was floating on her collision bulkhead, so there seemed no immediate danger of her sinking.We set to work immediately to clear the wreckage and also to ship our starboard ancho- which was hanging over the starboard bow, and in danger of punching more holes in the bow.We heard a steamer blowing her whistle on coming back and we answered with our fog harn.The steamer then threw up a rocket and ured a shot.We also threw up some rockets and fired several shots, but we neitner saw nor heard any more of the steamer.La Bourgoyne Had Gone Down.Shortly after, or about 5.30 am., the fog lifted somewhat, and we saw two boata pulling towards us with the French flag flying.We signalled them to come alongside and found that the steamer was the La Bourgoyne from New York to Havre and that she had gone down.We laid to all day and received on board about 200 survivors from amongst the passengers and crew, reported to be in all 600.Several of the pasengers were on life rafts without oars and I called for volunteers from among my crew and the surviving French seamen to bring those rafts alongside the ship.The Cargo Shifted.Some of the passengers and seamen trom the sunken steamer assisted us and we jettisoned some 30 tons of cargo from our forehold in order to lighten the ship.At about 3 p.m.another steamer hove in sight, bound westward.We put up our signal N.C., \u201cwants assistance.\u201d Grecian Arrived on the Scene.Shortly after the steamer bore down towards us.She proved to be the Grecian, bound from Glasgow to New York.The captain of the Grecian agreed to take the passengers on board, and also agreed to tow my ship to Halifax.Owing to the condition of my ship I accepted the oer and we proceeded at once to tranship the passengers and get ready our tow line.At six p.m.we had made a connection and roceeded in tow of the Grecian towards alifax, having put a sail over the broxen bow to take part of the strain off the collision bulkhead.There was at that time 14 feet of water in the fore peak.A Woman\u2019s Thrilling Story.Mrs.Henderson, wife of the captain, was on board the Cromarty with her two children.She tells a thrilling tale of the terrible experience.The collision occurred at 5 a.m.on the 4th inst.The weather was foggy and she had risen from her bunk at an early hour as was her custom when the weather was thick.Shartly before the vessels came together she detected a steamer\u2019s whistle blowing on the port side of the vessel.The Cromarty was horn at intervals of one minute.Henderson called the attention of her husband to the sounding of the whistle, and a minute later the mate, who was nn the watch, also detected the sound.It came nearer and nearer and Mrs.Henderson stood near the cahin in order to rescue her children should a disaster occur.Suddenly the huge hulk of an ocean greyhound loomed up in the mist, going about 17 knots an hour.A Fearful Crash.Almost immediately there was a fearful crash and Mrs.Henderson rushed below and found her children awakened by ths shock, SIC Cessud the live ones as quickly as possible and removed them to the deck, expecting to see her own ship go down any minute.Captain Henderson, as soon as the collision occurred, ordered the boats to be lowered and the damage to be ascertained.As it was found that the Cromarty was in no immediate danger, the Britisher was put about.The vessal with which they had collided was at that dime unknown.A few minutes later her whistle was heard and several rockets were sent up.(Captain Henderson replied in like manner, thinking that the steamer was offering assistance, but in a few minutes all was quiet and those on board be- ision, Men Clinging to Wreckage.At 5.30 the fog lifted and two were seen approaching the Cromarty with only men on board.Later the weather cleared still more and men were to be seen in every direction clinging to wreckage and floating on life rafts.It was a terrible scene.No pen can picture the boats appalling sight unveiled to the onlookers | * when the curtain of mist arose, Work of Rescue Commenced.The work of rescue was commenced without a moments delay and over 200 persons were picked up and taken on card the ship.ip.Mrs.Henderson had ample opportunity of interviewing those who were rescued and expressed her belief, from what she heard, that there had been no effort to save the women.There were many foreigners on board who fought for «places in the boats.It was fully ten minutes to a quarter of an hour before the La Bourgoyne went down, and during that time there was ample opportunity offered to rescue at leust some of the women and children.As it was only one woman was saved.Mrs.Lacasse was saved and she has been on board ever siuce.The Only Woman Saved, Mrs.Lacasse, wife of Ad.Lacasse, language teacher of Plainville, N.J.) was the only Woman saved from La Bourgoyne.e crew of the Cromarty expressed belief that there must have been some foul play, seeing that only one woman was saved out of 300.Nearly all the first.class passengers were lost, those saved being Steerage and sailors, Lacasse and his wife

they were another ship, and that they (the Bourgoyne) had sunk the colliding vessel.Boats were sent out and nearly 150 were saved.Eighteen or Nineteen Knots an Hour, At the time of the collision, Mr.Stewart says, the Bourgoyne must have been going at the rate of 18 or 19 knots per hour, though a dense fog prevailed, shutting out everything not less than twenty yards away.About three hours after the Cromarty picked up the survivors, the Allan Line : sleamer Grecian was sighted and took the Cromarty in tow.About eight o\u2019clock that evening, three miles away, Third Mate Stewart heard guns and saw rockets go up, and a blue light, the signal of distress, burning.The Grecian signalled to the Cromarty that she was going to assist the vessel signalling.In a few minutes; however, the light disappeared and no more guns or rockets were discharged, the vessel certainly having sank.\u2018l'his must have been another steamer, as Lacasse, one of the survivors, saw the Bourgoyne go down ten minutes after the collision.It could not have been a boat, as they were too far from the scene of the wreck, and guns could not be discharged from a boat Waiters and Employes Saved.Following is

says he will give up the trip .just now after his recent experience.Mrs.Lacasse says the experience was in- : deed a severe one, and shoëwitnessed sights that will never leave her memory.The collision occurred Monday morning, at which time the lady was in her berth.The first she knew of the danger was when her husband rushed down into the cabin and told her to hasten on deck, as the steamer had run into a chip and was damaged.Mrs.Lacasse hastily threw on a dress, and without waiting for hat or shoes, and leaving all her belongings in her stateroom, rushed on | deck with her husband, where the passen- \u2018fers were in terror.Ît was thick fog at | the time, and they suddenly felt the stcam- ! er take a sort of list.Captain Was a Hero.A reporter while in conversation with Mr.and Mrs.Lacasse asked them how the officers and crews of La Bourgoyne acted, after they found she was in danger, but both husband and wife said they had no experience in such matters, and were not prepared to pass an opinion, but they both agreed that the captain of the wrecked steamer acted like a hero.Said Mrs.La- casse: \u2018\u2019The poor man did everything he could possibly do up to the very last moment any stayed By his vessel in command as she sank.\u201d Mr.and Mrs.Lacasse were saved on a raft.The lady was thrown Into the water, but her husband's eyes never \u2018deft her, and as she was near a rait while in the water he managed to get on the raft and pull her on also.Soon the scene Became a tet.\u2018ble one, with hundreds of lives in the balance.The people swam i and floaved about the surface of the water | looking tor chances to save Themselves, but i the majority of them found none, and eling- | ing to the rafe on which were Mr.and Mrs.every moment the raft seemed in danger of sinking, so great was the weight.It would have been madness to allow any more weight on it, and succor had to be denied many a poor mortal struggling in the water.One poor man who had been vainly irying to save the lives of his wife and two children was pulled on the raft, and he with the others saved.Mr.La- casse said there were three priests on board, and as the ship was settling down he saw them going about the decks giving absolution to the many French and American Catholics who remained on board, and who when they saw hope had almost abandoned them, hurried to the vicinity where the priests were and knelt for absolution.As the ship settled and went down the captain\u2019 fems, ed valiantly at his post on the bridge accompanfed by one of his officers.As the ship sank beneath the surface some minutes after she created a sort of whirlpool, which sucked down everything on the surface within a cerfain radius A couple of minutes Jater, when the suction cease, those still alive saw about two hundred bodies come up out of the water with a rush, as if the sea were giving up the dead after having swallowed the ship.This scene was a horribly fascinating one for those who witnessed it.The Fog Was Dense.The fog was dense when the crash came, and in fhe darkness of death, the drowning men and women could do little to save their lives.The big steamer careened in her mad endeavor to keep afloat, but the water poured into her bulkheads, smashing all before it, and despite all endeavors of the captain end officers, who bravely £tood by their ship, 600 souls sank into eternity almost in the twinkling of an eye.Terrible and Appalling.Lernible and appalung as was the disaster whidn overlook ule french lumner, LL Would have been even more tragic nad sie SWUCK Lhe wromadly ten leec aur-

survivors who escaped the awtul tragedy that had betallen their fellow-passengers.When the collision occurred two boats were lowered from La Bourgoyne, and life rafts were thrown overboard.By these means the survivors mamaged to reach the Cromarty.The story of the collision was told by Captain Oscar Henderson, of the ship Cromarty, which was 228 days from Dunkirk to Philadelphia.In his chart room this morning he told the 400 men and women who left New York on July 1st, now lie at the bottom of the angry sea.that rolls around the grim whores of Sable island, son said: \u201cThe position of the Cromarty on July 4 was 00 miles south of Sable Island, with the wind southwest and a dense fog.The ship was heading west der cauvas.At 5 a.m.we heard a steamers whistle on our weather or port beam, which seemed to be nearing us very fast.We blew our horn, which was answered by the steamer\u2019s whistle; when all of a sudden she loomed up brightly through it, going at a terrific speed.Our foretop- mast and main topgallant came down, bringing with it vards and everything attached.T gave orders to clear away the boats ,and went to ascertain the extent of the damage.In the meanwhile the steamer had disappeared in the fog.I found that our bows were completely eut off and the plates twisted into every conceivable shape.However, the shin was floating on her collision bulkhead so that there seemed no immediate daneer of her sinking We set to work immediately to clear away the wreckage.and to ship our starboard anchor, which was haneing near the bow and in danger of punching haley in tha side of the ship.We heard a stanmes blowing its whistle, and, coming back, we answered with our fog horn.Then the steamer threw un a rocket and fired a shot.We then also threw up some rockets and fired several hints, hut we nai.ther saw nor heard anvthing more of tha steamer, Shartly after.or about 5.30 am.the fog I3fted somewhat, and we sav two hoatg milling tow it o vard us with # French

Chairman\u2014*\u201cAnother thing that we wish to call your attention to is the upper guard pier.We are having culverts built there, which will let suflicient water pass through to keep the harbor: clean.\u201d Mr.Tarte approved of this plan and the uestion of harbor improvement was dronped.The following letter from the harbor solicitors was read: \u2014 \u201cIn answer to your letter of the Ind July last, asking our opinion upon the question as to whether the Commissioners have power to build fixed grain elevators, we beg to state we are of opinion that, according to the terms of sections 20 and 23 of the act 57-58 Vict., chap.48, the commissioners have undoubtedly such power, provided it be for purposes of increasing 1e useiuiness of the harbor o ilitating the traffic therein.\u201d © faclitating A communication was read from the secretary of the Harbor Commissioners of Three Rivers, com laining of the great speed at which vessels passed there, and asking that pilots be instructed to slacken speed when passing the floating buov.It was decided to instruct the pilots as requested, such request being in accord win the by-laws.The Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Co.wrote asking for compensation for being compelled to move to let the work on the harbor begin.The secretary read the terms of the contract: \u201cSubject to removal, should the proposed improvements require «uch removal.\u201d The letter was referred to the Board\u2019s solicitors.Ir.Wanklyn, of the Street Railway, appeared before the Board to submit plans for a service on the wharf to ferries and Quebec boats.The Richelieu Company had asked the company if 1t would be possible to lay a track there.The M.S.R.pompany's present track was located on erri street, terminating at Commissioners | street, and it was proposed to put a single track across Commissioners street down to the western ramp, and across ihe Grand Trunk tracks, and along the Victoria pier.This would only be about 800 feet of track, and it would add greatly to the convenience of the public.The route would be a combination of the Amherst street route, and would be reached by all the other voutes running east and west.Mr.Wank- lvn explained that the wires would be too bigh to interfere with traffic, and the poles would be in sockets, and could be taken down in the fall.The matter was referred to the engineer, Harbor Improvement Committee.The proposed trip of inspection was then discussed.Mr.Tarte was very strongly in favor of it.and thought much good would result.The chairman pointed out that cothing could be done till the city approved of the new plan.The trip should not be taken till then.Mr.Kennedy asked Mr.Tarte about the time limit.The plans, according to the must te in the Minister's hands by September 12.\u2014By the time these other ports had been visited there would not be time to have the plans drawn in detail.Mr.Tarte\u2014\u201cThat will are not going to take each other by the throat.All I wanted by saving September 13 was to get the work started as goon as possible.1 an very glad to see we are moving on now.There will be no more delay now\u2019 The mee ing then adjcurned Section Men Win a Strike.e Ottawa, July 6.\u2014The strike of section men on the Canada Atlantic and Ottawa.Arnprior and Parry Sound system resulted last night in a complete victory for the men.\u2018The management of the railway system was waited upon by a committee of engineers and conductors, who acted 4s intermediaries.They offered the immediate settlement of the strike at $1.10 a day.This is an increase of 10c per man.It was the original demand, but when the company declined to treat on that basis the men asked for 81.25 a day The offer was accepted ,and all the men who went out on strike last week ,nuImn- bering nearly 600, will return to their duty to-morrow morning.The increase of 10¢c a day per man means a gain for them in the aggregate of nearly $22,000 a year.\u2014_\u2014 Killed by the

as to whether he had ever eatd that it was he who had murdered Laplante.Tetrault emphatically denied that he ever said so to anyone.Donat Laplante was examined regard- mg the locality where he accompanied Constable Ducharme and Henry Beaupre, tud explained to them the different locations of his late father\u2019s property.I'he following is Constable Ducharme\u2019s report submitted to the court: The orchard near which Laplante was last seen by Henrv Beaupre is situated about 900 feet ,or tive acres, from the place where the body was found.~The pasture where the horses were found by Gnillemain and young Donat is shout 2,550 ft, or 14 acres, from the house of the victim.Cirard\u2019s dwelling, where Beaupre\u2019s team met Bienvenu, is 5,150 feet, or 15 acres, from Lanlante\u2019s house.The Crown coneluded this forenoon, and yoo ; ; this afterncon the defence will oemmence îts evidance.YESTERDAY'S EVIDENCE.St.1iyacinthe, P.QQ., July 6.\u2014(Special.) =-When the court reopened yesterday afternoon, Louis Tetrault was again put im the box, and in cross-examimnation gave almost the same evidence as in the morning.The defence obtained from witness it statement regarding his habits and gen- cral conduct, and endeavored, apparently, did you ever say tnat 7\u201d Witness\u2014\"1 never did.\u201d Mr.Blanchet\u2014-\"She told me that if 1 wouid kill my uncle she would give me i bail of his money.\u201d Is that statement | true ?\u201d \\Vitness-\u2014\u201cNo.\u201d Mr.Blanchet\u2014\u201c \u2018When all would be settled my aunt was to come to the United States to marry me.\u201d Is that true ?\u201d Witness\u2014\u201cN.o, sir.It is false.\u201d Mr.Blanchet-\u201cAhout four o°clock, Oet.30th, she gave me three glasses of brandy.\u2019 Did yon give Guillemain any brandy, Mrs.Laplante?\u201d \\Vitness\u2014\u201cNo, sir, I did not.\u201d Mr.Blanchet\u2014 \u2018She told me not to spend the money, but to look for a place for her in Biddeford, and that she would soon come and live with me\u2019 Did you ever spealr like that to Guillemain ?\u201d Witness-\u2014\"No, sir: by my husband\u2019s death 1 had been left without assistance; I was poor, and I was willing to accept the support which my husband\u2019s brother in Biddeford tendered me.\u201d Donat Laplante and Miss Vitaline Ber- thiaume were called to corroborate these denials, but the defence did not find it unecessary to hear them, and a corroboration of Madame Laplante\u2019s denial were accordingly noted.At four o'cdock Mr.Bourgault asked that the court adjourn, as he had a journey to make which necessitated his immediate departure.The adjournment was granted.No one could know from the lawyer for the defeuce where he was going, but it is very probable that he will travel over the route taken by Louis Tetrault froin St.Hyacinthe to St.Liboire.What the result of his journey will be is a matter of mere conjecture.The Grocers\u2019 Picnic.The Grocers\u2019 Association meets

rebuking thie lawyer for this interference in his private affairs, and also by his too laconic and evasive answers.He stated that he had been in St.Hyacinthe on the 30th ot October last, and gave a detailed account of lits journey back to St.Liboire, his home.He had not known J.B.La- plante, but he knew hie brother, Isaie La- plante, who lives in Biddeford.He had nol known that a letter had been sent to Johnny Laplante asking for money.Witness had received $20 from a butcher in St.Hya-inthe named McIntyre; he had also borrowed $150 from Mr.Brisette, a notary in St.Hyacinthe.With that money he had paid some debts.When at the time of the inquest his trunk had been searched $47 had been found there.That money was his father\u2019s.A blood-stain hud been found on one of the bills in the trunk.He could not say how it had been stained.lle could not say if the money was that which he hud received from Mr.McIntyre.Mr.Louis Pelletier was then heard.He is a farmer of St.Liobire, and a brother- in-law of louis Tetrault.He stated that Tetrault had arrived at nis house in St.Simon from St.Hyacinthe on Qctober 30th, about 6.45 p.m.le had leit for Lis own home about 9.30.etrault had been intoxicated when he had gone to witness\u2019 home.Witness could not recall the conversation which had taken place, but said \u2018that they had spoken just like farmers would when they got together.Madame Pelletier and Mr.Alexis Te- trault, her father, were also heard.Their evidence was absoluthly unimportant, the former simply corroborating her hus: hand's evidence, and the latter adding very meagre details to explain the exist- euce of the 47 which had been found in Louis Vetrault's trunk.Judge Tellier remarked that the afternoon seemed to be devoted to the trial of Louis Tetraut, and complained of the time lost in obtaining evidence of no importance.Madame Laplante was then recalled.Several declarations of Guillemain\u2019s, found in Romain Rodrigues deposition, were read to her, and to cach she gave a flat denial.Mr.Blanche!\u2014\u201cIn this deposition, Mra.Laplante, Guillemain says: \u2018About two weeks hefore the murder I wanted to go to see my sister in

some interest this morning in a revenue case, the first one under the new license law.Joseph Schneider was charged with selling liquor on Sunday, and a revenue officer swore that he had bought liquor there on Sunday.According to the new law, the defendant is allowed to go into the box and Schneider swore he had not sold liquor on Sunday.There was no further evidence on this point.Judge Dugas said that if the defendant was to be allowed to go into the box, and his evidence accepted, there would be no convictions.He thought that unless there was strong evidence to the contrary the revenue oflicer\u2019s evidence would be accepted, even if contradicted by the II conce-holder.Schneider was fined $75 and costs.* Where the Waters Meet,\u201d The Montreal Belt Line Company's cars will leave

Over the Corre sponding Nine Months a Year Ago, In the past nine months Montrealers have paid out $1,035,277 in street car fares, which 1s just $83,159 more than they paid during the corresponding months last year.The figures given are for nine months because the Street Railway Company\u2019s year ends in September, and it is just nine months since then, In the attached table it will be seen that the earnings during the month just past are the largest yet recorded, amounting to over $133,100.This is an increase of $2,477 over the same month last vear, which is considered remarkable in

Canada Fall Under the Tax Imposed by American Congress.ces THE INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED By the Canadian Pacific Freight Department: Regarding the Use of Revenue Stamps \u2014 on ALL SHIPPING DOCUMENTS, The Funeral This Afternoon Largely .Attended by Revresentative Busi | ness and Mercantile Men.The remains of the late ex-Ald.William | Rodden arrived in Montreal this morning and were taken to the residence of his brother, Mr.R.J.Rodden, 356 Wood avenue.At his late home at Plantagenct Springs a special service was held yester- Mr.Elmenhorst.A large number of personal friends and residents of that place attended.At six o'clock this morning i ! ! i \u2018 | free It will be learned with surprise by many that Canadian railways operating partly in American territory and doing business in the United States are paying a full share of the war tax now being imposed in that country.The following circular, issued from the office of Mr.G.M.Bosworth, freight traffic manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway, shows what special requirements have to be fulfilled.\u201cThe Act of Congress, known as the \u2018War Revenue Act of 1898,\" will take effect July 1, 1898.It requires railway companies to issue to the shipper of all goods received for transportation, a bill of lading, or receipt, for each shipment.To each such bill of lading or shipping receipt, and to each duplicate thereof, an Internal Revenue Stamp of one cent must be affixed for goods shipped to points in the United States; and a similar stamp of ten cents for goods shipped to any foreign port or place (including Canada) on a through bill of lading at a through rate.\u201cAll stamps must be cancelled by the person using the same writing or stamping thereon his initials and the \u2018date of attach- | ing the stamp, or by such other method of cancellation as the Commissioner of Internal Revenue may prescribe.\u201cThe provisions of thls Act require stamps to be attached only to the bills of lading, or shipping receipts, which are retained by the agent for his record, or which are sent to the agent at destination or point to which .billed, or copies sent to auditors, foreign day afternoon, conducted by the Rev.Sheriff Hagar and a few personal friends at Plantagenet Springs carried the body from the house to the railway station, where the remains were placed on hoard to be taken to Montreal.A few days be: fore his death Mr.Rodden called the members of his household to his bedside, : and a short service of singing and prayer | was held, and he addressed to around him a few simple and earnest words as to the value of the Christian life and character.The funeral from his brother's residence on Wood avenue at half-past two o'clock this afternoon was very largely attended by business and mercantile men\u2019 who knew him in Montreal during his long and honorable business career; by aldermen and ex-aldermen of the City Council, who appreciated his worth and usefulness in advancing the city\u2019s real interests during his fifteen vears\u2019 occupancy of a seat at the city\u2019s Council board, ani many others.A service was held at the house, at which the Rev.Dr.Evans and Rev.Prof.Warriner officiated, after which the remains were taken to Mount Royal Cemetery for interment.There were no pallbearers.His only brother living, Mr.R.J.Rodden, was unable to go to the cemetery; he has been very ill all winter, and is only able to sit up with difficulty.The other chief mourners were: M.J.A.those | t Ritchie, of Toronto, and Messrs.William ! T.Rodden and R.Montgomery Rodden, ; nephews; Messrs.William Lyall, Jobe.Whyte, Wm.J.Walker, Edward Murphy, R.MeCrudden, Guy R.Dewar and Robert Lamb.: The members of the Montreal Veteran Volunteer Firemen\u2019s Association attended the funeral in a body.The late Mr.Rod- den had been a member of the old Union Volunteer Fire Company as a young man, and while attending a fire was run over and had his leg so badly jammed that he always had a bend in it, from which he suffered very much at different times.HON.H.J.MACDONALD IN MONTREAL The Leader of the Manitoba Conservatives Predicts a Victory for Them at Next Biections.Hon.Hugh John Macdonald and Mrs, Macdonald, of Winnipeg, arrived in the city yesterday and left to-day by the Richelieu & Ontario steamer for Toronto.Hon.Mr, Macdonald was waited upon by a number of his Conservative friends while in Montreal.To a reporter Mr.Macdonald stated that he did not consider it at all probable that the Greenway Government would appeal to the people before next vear and that there would be another session of the Manitoba Legislature betore the general elections.Mr.Macdonald, it will be remembered, ; Was, some time ago, chosen leader of the Manitoba Conservatives, and, as he has no seat in the Legislature, he was asked if he had selected the constituency in which he would run.To this the hon.gentleman replied in the negative, but added that his name had been mentioned in connection with South Winnipeg, probably because he lived in that division, but no formal nomination had yet been tendered him.He very naturally predicts bright prospects for the Conservatives, carrying the Province at the next local elections.OFFICIALS SUSPENDED.Chief Keeper, Engineer Derry and Steward Martin Are Alleged to Have Shown Favors to Dr.Hamiltou,

possible rising in Spain, freight agents, agents of connecting lines, or otherwise used in process of transporting the shipments, do not require stamps.\u201cThe Act requires that a bill of lading, or shipping receipt, must be issued for each shipment.Whatever is shipped by one consignor to one consignee at one time, whether it be a single article, package, or carload, or whether it be several carloads, constitutes a shipment within the meaning of the law.and for such shipment one stamped bill of lading, or shipping receipt, must be given.This Act refers only to bills of lading, or shipping receipts issued to shippers upon acceptance of property for transportation, and does not refer to, or require stamps to be affixed to, receipted freight bills given upon payment of transportation charges.The Act also requires that cheques on banks or other depositories must bear a two cent stamp.Cheques received in payment of freight, or for other monies due the company, dated July 1st, or thereafter, must not be \u2018received unless bearing such stamp.; \u201cBonds of indemnity require a stamp of fifty cents, and such bonds must not be accented unless such stamp is attached.\u201cCertificates or affidavits presented by any shinper or consignee in regard to damage to , freight, overcharge in rate or weight, or for other purpose, require a ten cent stamp to be attached thereto, and such certificates must not be accepted hy agents or representatives of this company without such stamp being attached thereto.\u201cThe act requires that a stamp of 25 cents shall be attached to each power of attorney.Agents will not accent such power of attorney or accept or deliver freight thereunder, unless the same shall have a proper stamp aflixed thereto.«Warehouse receipts for any goods, merchandise, or propertv cf any knid, held on storage in any public or private warehouse or vard, require a 25 cent stamp.Agents must not accent such warehouse receints from
