Case.Poston, Mass, July 21.\u2014(Special.)\u2014 William Henry Holden, arrested for the robbery of $31,500 from the Dominion Bank at Napanee, Ontario, left this city for Canada in charge of Inspector Burke and Constable Edward H.Sills, of Na- panee.The prisoner was brought before Commissioner Fiske yesterday afternoon, and after listening to the greater part ot the evidence voluntarily offered to go back and give himself up to the Canadian authorities.| Assistant District Attorney Casey appeared for the Government.Peers Davidson of Montreal represented the Dominion Bank.The defendant was without counsel.Holden asked few questions of the witnesses, at times he smiled grimly at some of the guesses made by them, and once he laughed heartily at a piece of evidence, that of High Constable Sills of Napanee, who arrested Holden and Pare a week before the robbery, on sues picion.The Magistrate thought he saw nothing suspicious in either of the two gentlemen, and after a reprimand they were lot off from the charge of vagrancy.Inepector Burke, the first witness, told of the arrest of Holden, at the latter's home at 70 Hunneman street, and of how Mrs.Holden tried to dispose of a large package of Canadian bills by burning them.In- spedtor McCausland corroborated his testi- money.Egerton Hanley Baines, manager of the Dominion Bank at Napanee, told of the theft from the Dominion Bank of $31,500 and also of a private collection of coins belonging to him.He kept the coins in the safe.The safe was in two compartments.The teller had a key of the upper half and he had a key to the other, in which, invariably, he kept his rare coins.He identified the following coins which were found in Holden\u2019s possession as belonging to his private collection :\u2014- \u201cA five france Belgian piece with three ink merks on the margin; a silver penny of Charles I., with a small hole in the edge of the coin; a silver token piece, with worth \u201cNeath,\u201d dated 1811; a papal piece of Pope Clement X.and a colonial ghil- ling of George IV.\u201d Witness told of a package of 1,000 $10 bills, Nos.46,001 to 47,000, letter A, stolen from the bank.The bills found on Holden which witness examined, were numbered 46,440 to 46,468.The bills lacked the signature of the cashier in order to be negotiable.Constable Sills and Inspector Watts, of the Boston force, testified, and after the latter had concluded, Mr.Casey turned to the defendant, and said :\u2014 \u201cMr.Holden, do you wish the Government to furnish any more evidence?\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d replied the defendant, \u201cI am willing to go back to Canada and give myself up to the authorities there.\u201d The extradition papers were then made, out and were signed by Holden in a bold hand.\u2018 Napanee Prisoners Remanded.Napanee, July 21\u2014(Special.)\u2014It was expected that when the three prisoners now in Lennox County Jail, charged with the Napanee bank robbery, were taken before Magistrate Daly this morning the publie would have an opportunity of seeing William Ponton, who has never lost his position as the centre of popular interest.The friends of the ex-teller were, however, disappointed, for the brief magistrate\u2019s court was held in the jail building and no one but the constables and newspaper correspondents witnessed the proceedings.It was a very informal court.The magistrate sat in an easy-chair in the parlor of the jail turnkey\u2019s apartments, and the prisoners were brought before him singly, and quickly remanded to jail again.Ponton came first, and entered the room with a bow and a smile of recognition for everyone.He appeared to be pleased at the little break in jail life, and when he was told by the magistrate that he would be remanded until Friday, but would probably be brought into court for his prelfmin- ary examination before that, possibly on Tuesday, he acquiesced readily.Mr.Daly asked onton if he had seen his lawyer gince the latter had received permission to visit the jail, and the young man replied, laughingly, that Mr.Porter Fad never_called on him.When the remand was made Ponton b ; 1 the smile still on poved Dimself out with Mackie Not Comfortable.The next prisoner was Mackie.He came in between two constables, and had none of the sang-froid of his companion.very nervous an ill at when he was told that he would be agers remanded he leaned over the table to the magistrate and said: \u201cY ; ou i that if the Crown could not how Lome reason for a remand the tria] would go on.\u201d Mackie was told tha i would be settled when his case Cn point formally.It was explained to him Tat the present proceedings were only taken to expedite matters.Then the Bellevuile man was taken away, and appeared to be rather relieved at escaping from the gery.tiny of those in the court.© came into the room with i of one who is accustomed to such little êâlfairs.He took the remanding proceedings as a matter of course, and showed no ésire ta question the action that the Suthorities were taking in regard to him.| e, like his fellow prisoners, was in his ordinary attire, but his appearance indicated a knowledge of how to make prison life as comfortable as possible, for his clothing wag well adapted for lounging, and he lolled in his chair with his slip- pered feet stretched out.When - the Gene magistrate had signed the commitment he noticed first that his case had been disposed of and rose voluntarily to leave the room.Investigation on Tuesday.All the men will probably appear on Tuesday next, when the investigation is éxpected to open.Holden, when he arrives, will be remanded until the same date as his friends, but will be brought up with them on Tuesday if the case can be reached by that time.No bail was applied for and none of the counsels for the prisoners were present.Ponton\u2019s nerve, whether he is innocent or guilty, is winning him renewed confidence.He has always a laugh for everyone who visits him, and there is no trace of baggadocio in his manner.He appears to bear no resentment against the detectives, and treats the present accusation as a trouble which has unfortunately to be borne, and might as well be taken cheerfully.Holden w arrive here probably in charge of County Constable Sills this afternoon, and upon his arrrival an effort at identifying him as one of the tramps who were arrested here as vagrants and ordered out of town shortly before the robbery wi was made.Bouquets for Ponton.ee, July 21.\u2014(Special.)\u2014 There som th be here some of the same sentir mental sort so frequently heard of e se- where, who persist in sending bouque 8 and other expressions of sympathy to those charged with crimes.It has been whispered that several are now sending in flowers and the like, but this class does not represent the general feeling here by any means.Ponton\u2019s lawyer, Mr.Porter, from Belleville, has now free access to him, an there are no more reasons for complaint on that score.He no doubt made all the capital he could out of the fact Laat he did not get free access to Ponton\u2019s cell the first day he came.It is not Tat all probable that the case has suffered in any way in consequence of the want of free dccess between coun- gel and client on Monday and Tuesday.No steps were taken in that case during | that time.No one else meddléd with him, and it is probable that had any one done so he was quite capable of taking care of himself.It is now supposed that when Ponton\u2019s case comes up on Friday bail will be allowed if the parties are not yet ready to proceed.The case of Mackie, of Belleville, does not excite so much interest here.He was little known here except to a few sporting characters.The reports are still very confidently ma 4 that some of the missing coins and some of the stolen bills were found on or about his premises, though the fact is not yet well confirmed.His lawyers, Messrs.Wilson & Wilson, of this place, have had ne communication with him.They have also obtained an order that the detectives shall not be allowed such access.They state that there is not a particle of truth in the report that he has \u201cweakened\u201d at all, or .that he has admitted anything.If is said he has given way to his feelings a good deal, because of his family and friends, and that may have led to the rumors that he showed signs of weakening.Belief in Ponton.A visitor to this town cannot fail to be impressed by the fact that ir?:rest in the bank robbery proceedings is äll-prevailing.Neither can he withhold his admiration for the very remarkable exhibition now being given by the good people of the town, whose confidence in the innocence of the young man Ponton is so great to amount to a positive virtue.Ordinarily, when a man\u2019s reputation is attacked, the disposition is to believe the report of evil, Most men know that to fall is only human, and do not concern themselves long with the effort to assure themselves of the probity of any individual, In Napanee however, it is not possible to generaise on any such basis, for The second arrest of the young ex-bank clerk, so far from convincing people that there is reasonable ground for believing him ilty, has had quite the contrary effect.Soy one in Na- banee can furnish the stranger within the gates with arguments so excellent as to amount almost to a demonstration of th fnocence of the accused.¢ ,_ tonton thus has the ad , Ing upon his trial with these of enteras of the community.He ; sympathy h y.8 accorded, as he ore, ber ihe benefit of every doubt.1 by the majority of the 18 accorded the benefit of doubt nn he every statement which might seem to implicate him.Where one gets a little under the surface, However, it must be confessed that all is not so o plain sailin as might appear.The broad statement id made that Ponton was a ve opylar young man prior to the robbery.1 0 ad gaging manners, and is today well thought of by the ladies of the town, who came to know him at tennis parties and similar functions.The men, however, wiil say that he was not exacly as appearances might be assumed to indicate, that he kept undesirable company, had acquired habits that were not commendable, and that there were well defined limits to his supposed social prestige.In the present circumstances the officers of the law are naturally regarding more closely those attributes of which the sympathetic section of the community knew least.Hence the conflict between the acts of the Crown and the sympathies of the people.The whole story of the robbery as it has been pieced together with untiring patience, if it does not in the end bring home conviction against Ponton, at least forces upon the authorities the necessity of ordering his arrest.There is knowledge of his movements for a long time prior to the robbery.There is evidence that he and Mackie, the Belleville man, had been intimate to an extent that would probably surprise many in Napanee, and it is said that when the time for the trial comes, it will be possible for the Crown £o \u2018indicate almost the precise time at, which he became mixed up in the plans of the other men.It may be said that this is the least clear of all the phases of the situation.The recent arrests in Mcntreal have an important bearing upon it, and before many days this aspect may aiso be cleared up to the satisfaction ot the Crown.Pare\u2019s confession is straightforward and damaging in the extreme, and there is understood to be so much corroborative evidence that, bad though his record is, his statements carry considerable weight.Pare\u2019s Story.Pare claims to have been introduced to the scheme through Mackie.Just what suggested to the latter the idea that this was a favorable opportunity for bank robbing Pare does not say.But the story goes that for sce months Mackie and some others been cudgelling their brains as to the best means to accomplish such an end.It is an unfortunate circumstance for Ponton that many of his associates in the towns where he worked were not ot the most desirable character.e is an athlete, and did not shrink from engaging in boxing contests with men of shady ree putation.He was associated with Mackie In a minstrel organization.He knew intimately others in Orillia and Belleville whose reputations are not of the best.Before Pare\u2019s introduction to the scheme he had already made some progress.Holden had come to Belleville on a visit from Montreal, and Chief Carpenter, of Montreal, had set word to Belleville faat Holden and his family were on the verge of starvation, and that it would be well to keep an eye on him.Others were \u2018n the game, too, at one time or another, but none of them with the requisite nerve.or experience until Pare put in his appearance.Ten or more persons were concerned at one time or another, and perhaps even more than that number par- ticipMed in the division of the spoils, but there were only four actually present when the robbery took place.awyer Lyons, of Belleville, was asked by a client at the inception of thé plot to what extent would he be liable in the event of a bank at Napanee being robbed.A clerk, it was told, was fixed.What answer was given does not appear, nor does the name of the client as yet, although the story is that Mackie was the man.Mr.Lyons did his part by warning the banks of their danger.Had his client been talkin over the subject with a Napanee ban clerk?Had Ponton\u2019s intimacy with Mackie anything to do with the matter?The trial wili tell.Later on when others came into the case, plans of a more definite character were, according to Pare, made for the ac complishment of the conspirators\u2019 de- Ponton and Durand were to be signs.ATK waylaid when bicycle riding, held up, beund, forced to divulge the combinations of the locks on vault and inner safe, then gagged and left to themselves.Ponton knew the key to the outer combination, Durand the key to the inner one, and, acording to Pare, Ponton was to obtain Durand\u2019s company to the ae- sired spot.This, it was to be borne in mind, was before Pare himself arrived.Are These Gags.There is a disposition to discredit the statements ascribed to Pare.I had a look this morning at an interesting collection of articles of which he probably knew mothing, but which go far towards confirming the foregoing statements, A little more than a year ago, months before the robbery, and just about the time the game was hatching, a pair of old hats, two masks, three gags, and a number of stout cords, some of which werd already provided with nooses at one end, were found near the town, and handed into the office of the Crown #ttorney.They will be put in as evidence if the op- pertunity should offer.This scheme evidently was thought rather dangerous, as was tlie other one of breaking in om a card party, and forcing the same information.Ultimately, probably, on the advice of Holden, Pare was sent for.Pare is an extraordinary man.He is an expert mechanic, and has his wite about him, He does mot herd with criminals.He is looked upon in police circles as ome of the ablest bank robbers ever in the business.He very quickly decided that there must be no hold-up.He would have no blood-letting, and his experience made him believe that a hold-up meant probable murder.Moreover, threa or four unwilling men could not be held up by less than five or six others, and that would let too many into the secret, and too many into the division of the spoils.Pare and Holden, both hard up, tived ous in the bush.Mackie, it is said, visit~ ed them at times.Ponton, it is alleged, went out to consult with Mackie, but this did not suit Pare, who demanded that Ponton deal directly with him and Holden.Ponton then, the Crown will sek to prove, gave Pare the combination of the vault.Pare went in, took the key of the central iron gate from its resting place on the back of the vault-lock, and made himself familiar with the premises.There was a big box of coppers in the vault, whose contents are checked only at long intervals.Pare helped himself modestly, keeping himself and Holden provisioned with the proceeds.Some of these were found on him when arrest ed later.Things were not going rapidly.The hold-up scheme was again talked over as the best means of getting the key to the inner combination.Pare protested against it.He said something else must be done, The Clue to the Mystery.This is what the Crown will try to prove was done:\u2014Mr.Bains, the manager, was to go for holidays on August 5._Ponton was to be delayed in balancing his cash.Mr.Bains, anxious to get away, was to request Mr.Ponton to lock the safe.It turned out that way.But the inner safe was not locked; it was left open.Pare went in at night, removed the cap from the back of the safe lock, and easily learned three or four numbers of the combination.hen he filed down the bolts, so that, if he could not manage the fourth, he would have little difficulty in forcing the door, This revelation, said to have been made by Pare, was news to all ôthers concerned, but a safe expert is said to have verified it in the last couple of days, To rob the safe that night would have invited two difficulties.First, attention would be at once directed to his accomplice; second, there were only $18,000 ia the safe, not enough for Pare\u2019s calculat- (Continued on page 4.)

Recorder\u2019s Court.Constable Reteau saw a man standing at a shop window on St.Catherine street last night, and apparenfiy concluded that the man was a criminal.The constable went to hîm and roughly said: \u201cWhat are you doing here ?Get out of here.\u201d When the citizen remonstrated the constable said : \u201cIs that the way you speak to a policeman?1 arrest you.\u201d And the citizen was

Trust Company entertained the stockbrokers to lunch this afternoon on the occasion of the brokers moving back into the company\u2019s building, 11 St.Sacrament street.Improvements amounting to $30,000 have been made in the building.It is now, perhaps, one of the handsomest blocks in the city.The two entrances, the front from St, Sacrament street, and the other from the court off Hospital, are finished with tile flooring, white marble dado, wood trim, and ornamental plaster ceilings, finished in old ivory tints.The staircases are also very fine, being made of orna- rental iron work, and finished in bright aluminum, while the steps are of white marble of a very superior quality.The bulls and bears will hardly recognize themselves in the magnificent new stock exchange, so great has the change been made.The hail itself is 64 feet long and 32 feet wide, and finished in quartered white oak.The walls are painted in green shades and the ceiling in old ivory tints, both of which present a beautifully striking effeat.The floor of the exchange hall is laid in wood rubbed down in oil, and the superior appearance over the old quarters is most marked in every portion ot the room.The rostrum will be placed in the south end of the hall, while the space set apart for the interested public will be located at the opposite end of the room.Mr.Barclay Stephens, general manager ot the Western Loan & Trust Company, has arranged for the location of his company\u2019s own offices on the east side of the ground floor, and they will also be finished entirely new, the counters and fixtures be: ing of white maple.Fhe company have also arranged for an acetylene gas'plant on the premises, it being their intention to furnish their own gas, There are no less than twenty-two fine offices in the whole building, all of which are already engaged, with one or two exceptions, and they are furnished throughout in white ash, while the floors are laid in tiles.An entirely new steel structure made these improvements possible, and it is the company\u2019s intention to add two more storeys to the building before the end of the present year.There is likewise ut completed one of the best types of electric elevators, built and equipped by Messrs.Leitch & Turnbull, of Hamilton, Ont.The Emperor Breaking Out Again.London, July 21.\u2014The Berlin correspondent of the Times says :\u2014A singular

Come Next to August, 1890, Which Was a Record-Breaker, fm IMPORTERS ON THE MOVE\u2019 Preparing for the Preferential Rates on Imported Goods of British Origin.RECEIPTS JULY, '97, $553,000, a The Montreal Custom House has never had such a busy month during its existence as that through which it is now passing and it is altogether likely that not less than $1,000,000 and possibly $1,- 100,000 will be handed over to the government treasury as the total of the month\u2018s receipts.This is the biggest total for any one month with the exception of August 1890.During the latter the duty on sugar was raised to 2 1-2 per cent and this of course made a mighty swell in the receipts; in fact broke all records.July 1899 will, however, not be far behind.Up to the 20th inst.the receipts were $755,000 leaving $245,000 required during the remaining eleven days to reach the million mark.It is quite possible, however, that the total may be $1,100,000 or only $98,000 less than the record breaking month of August \u201990 which was $1,198,000.As against the difference in the receipts, however, must be put the $200,000 by which this month\u2019s receipts wiil be shortened on account of the 1-4 per cent rebate on imported continental goods.But on the other hand this cut is the explanation of the greater portion of the increase.The reduction in the duty is just during the month of July and naturally importers are making all haste to get their goods in \u201cwhile there is a dollar to be saved.Germany, Austria, Belgium, and France are contributing the greater portion of the

taking advantage of the 1-4 per cent cut the present month would to all appearances have reached $750,000.An jnteresting item in the receipts of the month was that of $33,000 for duty on a cargo of rice from Rangoon, India, shipped to Messrs.Ross.Receipts in Toronto.Torbnto, Ont., July 20.\u2014The duties collected at the local customs this month are expected to reach over half a million

that month.ALD.GALLERY AND DEPARTMENT STORES._\u2014_\u2014 He Thinks the City Would Be Better off Without Them, and Wants Them Abolished.The project of Ald.Gallery to abolish departmental stores has

Age\u2014Alien Labor Law Well Enforced.Toronto, July 21.\u2014Mr, William Margach, Crown Timber Agent at Rat Portage, was at the Parliament Buildings yesterday.He reports that the lumber industry in northwestern Ontario is flourishing in a manner that has never been witnessed before.The mills west of Port Arthur and Lake Superior all ship to Manitoba and the N orthwest Territories and the demand for lum is exceptionally good.This is due to the fact that the farmers enjoyed a splendid harvest and good prices last season, and that the outlook for this season is almost equally as promising, causing them to make extensive improvements to their dwellings and barns.\u201cWas the Jaw against the employment of aliens enforced in the lumber camps in your vicinity?\u2019 Mr, Margach was asked.\u201cMost decidedly,\u201d was the reply.\u201cI myself went around the lumber camps in the Rat Portage district and took the name of every alien employed.Then I notified the foreman in each came that he must remove all aliens and they were removed.\u201d \u201cWhat about mining in the Rat Portage district?\u201d \u201cThe Sultana, Mikado and Regina mines, and a number of other properties

like to allude to, and that is the importance of the Jake fisheries in that region.Owing to the fact that the Dominion and the Province have been quarrelling as to who should exercise jurisdiction over the fisheries, no licenses have issued for a long time, and the great water stretches in that region teem with fish which are simply dying of old age.Now that the question of jurisdiction has

Starved.Vancouver, July 20.\u2014A case of wholesale murder, which seems hardly possible in this enlightened age, has just come to light in Japan, the victims being twenty- six sulphur miners, and their murderer, for he must be held responsible for their death, no less a person than a wealthy Makusu mine-owner.He did not go out and shoot them, nor order anybody to do so, but he left them on the island to starve to death.The men were sent by Makusu to work in a sulphur mine on an island called Chirripori, off the coast oi Hokaido.The men were supplied with a few months\u2019 rations, and no more were taken to them until a short time ago, when the owner of the miné received an order for a ship load of sulphur.He then sent a steamer to the island.The crew, of the steamer, being unable to see any signs of life, paid a visit to the mine, and in rude cabins found the bodies of the twenty-six miners, who had starved to death.An official investigation is to be beld.As there was no food of any kind on the island, and as vessels seldom pass in sight of it, the men were entirely help: less.BOSTON\u2019S MAYOR AND ALDERMEN Are Expected to Arrive Here on Saturday and Will be Entertained.The

Japanese Government has abandoned the protest against the annexation of Hawaii.The Government is satisfied that results already secured by Japan in Hawaii will not be disturbed.On the annexation bill being passed by the United States, the Japanese Minister at Washington was instructed to negotiate with the United States Government on those lines, and the United States Government is reported to have no special objection to meeting Japanese wishes in that respect.No Inquest on Dr.Moffatt.Toronto, July 21.\u2014Coroner Johnson yesterday withdrew the warrant for an inquest on the death of the late Dr.Moffatt, who died while under the influence of chloroform.The coroner\u2019s investigation satisfied him that the circumstances were not such as would require any enquiry.The remains will be interred this morning in Mount Pleasant cemetery.Another Mission School Burnt, Vancouver, July 21\u2014Word has come from Canton of the destruction by incendiary fire of an American Board mis- gion school in Hoi Ping district.The energetic American consul will take strong measures to ensure justice being done in the case.Rioters Terribly Punished.Vancouver, July 21\u2014Horrible torture was suffered by the participators in the recent Ningpo riot.The unfortunate wretches were put in separate cages, the- top of which just fite the neck, while tha bottom of each cage is regulated so as to afford no rest for the body, only slight support being possible by using the toes.As the man\u2019s feet and body grow tired the whole weight of the body is thrown upon the neck until the agony produced by this position forces the poor wretch to use his toes again.No food is given to the sufferer, who exists in the living hell for two, three and sometimes five days.Forest Fires.Peterborough, July 20.\u2014The dry weather of the past week has had a great effect on the northern s of the country, and destructive bush fires have broken out in many parts, causing considerable loss and much apprehension of greater damage.Standing timber in many parts has been destroyed, and it is stated that the fire is now within a very few miles of the Scott timber limits in Cavendish and Anstruther, now the property of the Dickson Co.If the conflagration gets within the boundary great loss must result.Between the drought, the frost and the fires the settlers in the northern townships have had a

IROUSES MELE, The Starting of the Porto Rico Expedition Has Been Delayed by the Admiral, purement GEN.MILES WAS IRRITATED And in Response to His Despatches the President Stirred Sampson Up a Little.mere INVOLVED rn Washington, July 21.\u2014President McKinley is thoroughly aroused over the delay which has occurred in the starting of General Miles and the expedition under his command for Porto Rico.For several days General Miles and his trcops have been aboard their transports at Playa del Este waiting the naval convoy which is to be furnished by Admiral Sampson.The troops have been sweltering in the crowded ship under the broil- Ing heat of a tropical sun, while General Miles has been chafing under what he believes to be inexcusable delay, and is bombarding the War Department with despatches urging in the strongest terms that the navy be hurried in its preparations for the expedition.> Instructions of the most positive nature have been cabled to Admiral Sampson to supply the necessary convoys for General Miles\u2019 transports, but notwithstanding these inetructions, Admiral Sampson has proceeded with his preparations with a deliberation that is exasperating officials cre.The President, who has been giving the Porto Rican expedition his personal atten- tion\u2014as he has given, indeed, all phases of the war\u2014finally became deeply concerned lest the part of the Porto Ricsn expedition that has already sæiled from this country should arrive at the point of rendezvous in advance of General Miles and the navy.It is feared that if General Wilson's command, which sailed yesterday from Charleston, should arrive in advance of General Miles and the naval convoys, serious danger and possibly disaster might result, as General Wilson's ships are absolutely without protection.Strict Orders to Sampson to Move.Tully realizing the necessity for prompt action in getting General Miles and hia Cuban expedition started, President Me- Kinley, this morning, iesued personal orders through the Secretary of the Navy to Admiral Sampson that he should proceed immediately to Porto Rico with General Miles.The President\u2019 orders are susceptible of no: misconstruction.They are imperative to a degree seldom employed except Wa cases of extreme emergency.They are of the sort that will brook 10 delay in their execution.Admiral Sampson must Mart at once or the President himself will know the reason why.No ex cuses of an ordinary mature will be ac cepted by the President for further delay.hile no official information that the fleet has sailed had been received at the War Department up to 9.30 o'clock this morning, it is beliéved that General Milcs and dris troops under convoy of the navy have departed from Cuba.Blanco Isolated From Madrid.Washington, July 21\u2014Two days ago General A.YY.Greeley, chief signal officer cabled instructions fo his officers in Nan- tiago to seal up and place a guard aver the three cable lines connecting Santiago with Cienfuegos, whence by a land line, communication is estabifshed with Havana.To-day Genéral Greeley was informed that his orders had been carried into effect.The closing of the Cienfuegos cables absolutely isolates Havana and General Blanco from Madrid.Blanco\u2019s only means of communicating with the overnment at Madrid now is by the Kay est cable which is under the strictest censorship by the Government of the United States.DANGER IN DELAY, Transports Are at Cavite, Hong Kong, July 21.\u2014The German steamer Wuctan, at this port, from Ca- vite, reports that the United States transport China, with American reinforcements for Admiral Dewey, arrived at Cavite on Saturday last, and that the other transports arrived on Sunday.The Wuctan also brought the news that no advance had been made by the American forces.They were awaiting the coming of General Merritt, who was expected to reach the place within ten days.The insurgents still invested the town.The news of the destruction of Admiral Cervera\u2019s fleet, al Santiago de Cuba was received at Manila on July 17, and created consternation among the Spaniards.Police Prevent Trouble.The Counc of St.Louis du Mile End met Tuesday evening for the transaction of routine business.After the meeting Mr.Crevier made a complaint against several of the aldermen, saying that they were incompetent.As an _example he said the contract for benches in St.Louis Park had been given without the question being brought before a regular meeting of the Council.This caused a lively discussion between Mr.Crevier and the aldermen, which might have ended seriously if the police had not appeared and cleared the hall.rs A Senatorial Rumor.Winnipeg, July 21.\u2014it is stated on good authority that Isaac Campbell, Q.C.,

Terms, armement THE CUBANS ARE KEPT OUT Sem Vessels Cannot Discharge Their Cargoes, and Food is Still Very High in Price.\u2014\u2014\u2014 GEN.GARCIA REPORTED DEAD, Lol SS, Santiago, Tuesday, by Herald\u2019s despatch boat to Port Antonio, Ja., July 21.\u2014Civil order has been completely restored ih Santiago, and no excessive celebrations of victory are permitted.All the cafes were closed last night, for the authorities are anxious that nothing shall mar the good lmpressions made by the orderly manner in which the city was transferred from Spanish to American rule.The Spanish and United States troops Yesterday were both patronizing the places where intoxicants were sold and were drinking toasts to each other from well filled glasses.The municipal authorities thought it better to restrain the joyousness of the victors for the present.Stores where food and clothing are for sale are being re-opened and the Americans are the best customers.The soldiers are much in need of wearing apparel, and now for the first time since their landing on Cuban soil they have begun.to take heed as to their raiment.The food problem will soon be solved, for Government transports entered the harbor to-day and began to discharge their cargoes of provisions.This greatly simplifies the work of the commissary department, which has no longer to arrange for the transportation of supplies over muddy trails.Several merchant vessels were prevented from discharging their cargdes on acecount of the exacting demands of the Spanish revenue officials, who tried to collect from them.The owners refused to pay duty on the ground that Spanish rule was abrogated in the part of the island surrendered to the United States and that no other legitimate taxation had yet beén established.They also held that the goods were not dutiable because they were shippéd from the United States.A delegation of American merchants to whom cargoes of food were consigned laid the matter before General Shafter to-day.He will give a decision to-morrow.The only result of the collection.of duty will be to increase the cost of food.ood is already high enough in price.On the day of the capréulation a very simple luncheon for four newspaper correspondents cost $16.The American officers and newspaper man, who had been without decent food for weeks, eagerly purchased all that the Cafe Lavenua offered at any price.The supply of the establishment was exhausted, and it cannot be replenished until the vessels laden with food for sale have been permitted to unload their cargoes.Santiago is still depending upon wells and cieterns for her water supply.The supply from outside the city is still cut off.It will probably be restored in a day or two.Engineers were sent to-day to repair the pipes, which were broken by the American troops in order to divert tha water supply.Cordial Relations Exist.Most of the citizens of Santiago are delighted with American rule.Exceedingly cordial relations exist between the officers and soldiers of both armies.They met and fraternized in the cafes, which were open yesterday.The places were filled with groups invariably composed :of wearers of both uniforms, chatting and exchanging reminiscences of the recent unpleasantness Many Spanish and American officers exchanged swords as remembrances of the campaign.One Spanish General told me that he felt no seuse of humiliation in surrendering to an American army.\u201cYour people,\u201d he said, \u201care brave and generous foes.We can yield to you without disgrace, but we would rather have left our bones in Cuba than to have made terms with the native Cubans.We are entirely satisfied with the treatment we have received at the bands of the American officers.Defeat has left no malice in our hearts.\u201d Sentiment throughout the American ar- ny is vastly more favorable to the Span- jards than to the Cubans.The Cubans have not yet been permitted to enter the city, in accordance with a promise made bv General Wheeler to General Toral.Even the Cuban residents feel that it is better that their compatriots should not come into the city at present.The American troops in the city consist only of a skeleton regiment acting as provost guard and some officers.The main body of the army is on the hills, with every man eager to get a glimpse of the interior of the conquered city.Dr.Orlando Decker, a

to the Evening Post says that Cubans arriving from Siboney report General Garcia dead.New York, July 21.\u2014The last word directly received by the Cuban Junta in this city from General Garcia was dated before Santiago, July 11.It was a cable message and stated briefly that he was woll and that the progress of events was satisfactory.At that time Garcia was to the west of Santiago guarding the approaches from expected reinforcements to the city.General Garcia was one of the older and abler of the Cuban revolutionists.Admiral Sampson spoke in high terms of his soldierly and intelligent bearing when he went on board the flagship.His special field of operations for the past two years has been the province of Santiago, where he successfully evaded the superior Spanish forces sent out to defeat and capture him.Calixto Garcia was in his sixtieth year and was regarded by the Cuban insurgents as one of their most-intrepid soldiers.In the ten years\u2019 war his skill, bravery and energy won him continued promotion until he received a general's star.In an action in\u2019 1874 Garcia was surrounded by Spanish troops.Rather than surrender he shot himself through the chin with suicidal intent.He recovered and was sent to Spain.He was released in 1877, when the peace of Zanjon was declared.Garcia at one time eet out for New York and organized an expedition to Cuba.He landed in Santiago de Cuba, but was taken a prisoner a second time.He eluded the vigilance -of the prison guards in Spain one night after a fifteen years\u2019 imprisonment and fled to England.Garcia was the promoter of the Hawkins\u2019 expedition which left this city, January, 1896, with 300 men and a large quantity of supplies and ammunition.The ves- gel sunk.He next fitted out the Bermuda, which was seized upon the eve of her departure in February, 1896, by a United States Marshal and his deputies.Garcia was - arrested and released in $2,500 bail.He at once made another start and landed in Cuba several days before the day set for his trial in this city.For the last two years he has been engaged in conducting the campaign of the Cubans against Spain \u2018in the province of Santiago de a.Men's Pay Withheld.Washington, D.C., July 2l.\u2014General Shafter\u2019s army in Cuba will not for the present receive any pay from the United States Government.This has been definitely decided by the Washington authorities upon the recommendation of Major- General Shafter.The Paymaster's Department of the army had made definite arrangements to pay the American army in Cuba some time next week.Paymasters had received orders to proceed to New York city, and there take a vessel to Santiago.Preparations had been carried so far that the money to pay this army had, 1 understand, been put on board one of the transports now at New York.Secretary ATger cabled General Shafter to this effect, and General Shafter immediately replied advising the Secretary for the present to postponc the payment of the troops.General Shafter\u2019s reasons for not paying the troops under his command at the present time were very forcible.He said in his despatch that the distribution of more than a million dellars among twenty thousand troops in foreign territory would have a most demoralizing et- fect upon the entire army He intimated that the things needed by the men could be supplied by the Government, and by the people of Santiago.The money intended for the troops at Santiago has been temporarily deposited in the sub-Treasury at New York.The troops will not be paid for at least à month.Immune Regiments Wanted.Washington, D.C., July 21.\u2014Major-Gen- eral Shafter, in one of his despatches to the War Department, requested that the two regiments of immunes designated for police duty to Santiago, be embarked from the @rtted States as rapidly as possible.War Department officiais are doing their utmost to follow his request.and it is now hoped that the regiments will leave the United States on Friday morning.After their arrival General Shafter will order all of the regular troops out of the zone of infection, and encamp them on the high hills adjacent.The immunes were enlisted from Mississippi and Texas.Officials feel very much encouraged at the slow progress thus far made by yellow fever among the American troops.ft is the feeling in the Medical Department that the authorities now have the disease thoroughly under control.Secretary Alger has cabled General Shaf- ter to have prepared a complete list of those suffering from yellow fever and those who have recovered.This information will be cabled to the War Department and immediately given to the public.The Government is under obligations not to place on board any of the steamships chartered to carry the Spaniards back to Spain any prisoner showing symptoms of yellow fever.It will undoubtedly be at least à month before the Government can complete its arrangements for sending General Toral\u2019's men to Spain, and in the meantime it will be necessary to place the men under the most rigid sanitary rules.Any Spaniard showing the slightest symptoms of yellow fever will be immediately put in a quarantine hospital.THE AMERICANS WILL ANNEX PORTO RICO.The Policy of the Government is Said to be to Make the Island a Military and Naval Station, Washington, D.C., July 21.\u2014Permanent annexation of Porto Rico to the United States is the avowed policy of the administration.Whatever may be the ultimate disposition of Cuba, the Philippines, the Ladrones and the Canaries, Porto Rico is to be made a strong military and naval station, commanding the entire West Indies and controlling the approaches to the Gulf of Mexico, the Carribean Sea and the future canal across the Isthmus.°°\" © When the United States undertook to drive Spain from the island of Cuba, it foilowed as a logical consequence that the Spanish flag would be swept from every oint in which it floated in the Western hemisphere, and though some of the inhabitants of Porto Rico may not like the change, there is little doubt they will soon learn that the Government of the United ; States is preferable to that of Spain.- Members of the Porto Rican Junta in | | THE HERALD, MONTREAL, New York city, who have been working for the formation of an independent form of government for the island, have received little encouragement from the administration.General Miles has agreed to accept the services of Dr.Julio Henta and several other members of the Junta as guides and interpreters in his coming campaign, but the administration has been very careful not to make any promises about recognizing the Junta when Porto Rico has fallen, ter WATSON'S FLEET AN INTIMATION TO EUROPE That the Americans Will Make Their Own Terms With Spain When Peace is Called.Washington, July 21.\u2014In directing the organization of the formidable Kastern squadron and giving its commander-in- .enief instructions to proceed to the coast of Spain, President McKinley was actuated by a desire to not only terrorize the enemy but to impress all Kurope with the sea power of the United States.I am able to make the statement on the authority of an American official who is in the confidence of the President, the formation of the Eastern squadron and its despatch across the Atlantic will be a notification to the Powers of Europe that it is the purpose of the United States to compel the Madrid Government to comply with any demand that it may choose to make.lt was for this reason that the Eastern squadron has been considerably strengthened.As first organized the squadron with but two battle ships, one protected cruiser and the auxiliary cruisers would have been suflicient to have disposed of the remnants of Spain\u2019s navy, and have bombarded the Spanish ports as long as such action was deemed desirable, Unuer the supplemental orders which have been sent to Commodore Watson, he is to hold himself in readiness to proceed to any point that the President may desire.Operating in Spanish waters, he will be in a central position and can return to the American coast to protect American ports or can proceed to the Philippines to reinforce Admiral Dewey if any attempt be made by a third power to wrest any of those islands from the United States.I heard further talk to-day of adding the armored cruiser Brooklyn to the Eastern squadron, and should this be done, Commodore Schley will be made second in command, he being junior to Commodore Watson.Besides {the Brooklyn, the authorities are discussing the advisability of attaching gunboats to the fleet, such as the Princeton, the idea being apparently to represent each type in the fleet.It is now intended that Commodore Watson\u2019s fleet shall consist of four battleships of the first-class, one battleship of the second class, two protected cruisers, and three auxiliary cruisers, but this intention may still be changed by the report which the authorities are hourly expecting from Rear Admiral Sampson regarding the condition of the battleships and their fitness to go abroad.Should the Brooklyn, Cincinnati and Princeton be added to the

Subject of Some Dis¢ussion\u2014Eastern Abattoir Clerk Is Appointed.The Market Committee of the City Council met yesterday and discussed the coal tenders.Ninety-nine tons of hard coal are required for heating purposes in the various city markets, and twenty-seven tenders were received.Twenty-six of the tenderers, the combine men, quote $5.10 for stove and coal and $5.85 for egg.lhe one non-combine dealer, Charles Char- tand, quoted $5.95 for stove coal, but did not quote for egy.Ald.Wilson said that the combine coal was the best coal obtainable, and the difference in the tenders amounted to only >13.The better plan was to take the combine coal at combine rates, Ald.Gagnon objected, and wanted the contract to go to Mr.Charland.On motion of Ald.Lareau, it was decided to give the contract for twenty tons of stove coal to Mr.Charland, and the contract for maple to the Wilson Company, the balance of the contract for coal to be divided among seven of the tender- ers selected by meinbers of the committee.A letter from Chief Detective Carpenter wad read stating that he had been unable to locate Mr, \"Métras, the missing clerk of the East End abattoir market.Mr.Cyrille Asselin was appointed to the posi- ion.Remarkably Fast Cars.The Montreal Park and Island Railway have recently put on the Cartierville route cars that cover the ground at the rate ot forty-five miles an hour.This

Americans.eae WAR.FEELING IN MADRID.The Spaniards Would Prefer an American Protectorate in Cuba to Native Rule.acne THE IMPARCIAL CALLS FOR PEACE.renee Madrid, July 21.\u2014The remarkable thing to-day is that the jingo organ, the Impar- cial, says that Spain must assuredly ask for peace, and that no other course is pos- gible.The same paper says in a leading article that the conduct of the North Americans towards the Spanish prisoners has been more humane than that of the Germans to the French prisoners in 1871, or the Russians towards the Turks.Premier Sagasta to-day, on leaving the Council, emphatically and hotly denied that the Spanish Government ordered General Toral to give up Santiago.General Polavieff is here.Upon him are centred great hopes of peaee.On the other hand, it is my duty to state that a Cabinet Minister to-day said that peace seemed far from realization.There appears to be much ill-feeling owing to the statement that the capitulation of Santiago was made upon the under- \u2018 standing with President McKinley that it meant the conclusion of hostilities on the side of the Americans, but, on the contrary, it merely means increased energy in the pursuance of a war of territorial cap: ture.This is quoted as showing the tenor of popular feeling, which did not : stop short of the opinion shared by most of the influential members of the Ministry that the United States has been systematically tricking Spain and getting the ! better of her, the surrender of Santiago, which it is here stated was under false retences, being the culminating point of such perfidy.I am sorry to have to state that this evening the war sentiment once more prevails, war to the bitter end, añd it is further stimulated by the firm attitude ot the Cuban volunteers.American Protectorate Preferred.After talking with many leading members of the Chamber and the Senate of \u2018 different parties, I ean positively state that the opinion already indicated in previous telegrams reigns; that is that Spain to-day prefers an American protectorate to Cuba independent under the insurrectionists.A fairly logical argument, which seems universally to have taken hold, is that the riches of Cuba in the main belong to Spanish residents, and that those inter- pols will.be better guaranteed in .the ands of a powerful civilized nation Iike the United States than under the power ot the insurrectionist negroes of Mani- _geral, with minds filled with revengeful ' geLtlments.| \u201cA.Spanish general to-day said that Qe | was confident that the Cuban volunteers ; would fight with the Americans against the separatists of the Manigua.I repeat these opinions, confirming those previously given, because they are essentially living reflections of the sentiment forming the foundation over which the ail-ubsorbing question of prompt peace might easily be uilt.Santiago\u2019s Surrender Explained.Madrid, July 20, 4 p.m.\u2014A semi-official note has been published here explaining the cireumstances from a Spanish stand- of Santiago de cint of the surrender \u2018tba.It declares that the letter which General Toral \u201cis alleged to have written to General Shafter\u2019 is apocryphal as the telegraph version \u2018contains a statement which it is impossible for General Toral to have made because it is untrue that his Government authorized him to capitulate.\u201d The note continues: \u201cWhat happened was that the War Minister received two telegrams from Captain-General Blanco.The first described General Toral\u2019s position, which was most pitiful because of the want of provisions and immunition It also detailed the enemy\u2019s proposals.\u201cIn the second telegram Captain-tiene- ral Blanco gave the terms ot the capitulation and requested instructions.The War Minister réplied to both by telling Cap- tain-General Blanco to leave every initiative to General Toral, for it was impos- THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1898, THE PREMIER PIANO Of

Spanish Hope for the Philippines.Madrid, July 21\u2014Senor Sagasta and General Correa, Minister of War, declare that the latest news from the Philippines is of the most favorable character.General Correa\u2019s advices indicate that the insurgents are now displaying \u201conly a lukewarm hostility towards the Spanish troops.\u201d Captain-General Augusti sends an ofii- cial despatch asserting under date of July 14th that while the blockade is becoming very strict, the ememy has lost heavily in several recent engagements, \u2018by whicn the morals of the American force have been weakened and the Spaniards have been greatly encouraged.\u201d \u201cThe despatch alleges also that the garrison is ready to fight to the death, and \u2018that General Monet and several officers who had escaped from Malabebe have arrived here.\u201d Captain-General Augusti concludes as follows : \u201cModestly and without exaggeration, which is contrary to my character, 1 kave described with loyal candor the situa tion to which I am consecrating all my efforts for my country and my king.\u201d An official despatch from Captain-Gene- ral Blanco announces that the greatest enthusiasm prevails at Havana, and that the feeling in favor of resisting the Yankees is universal.It further asserts that the ¢om- manders of the volunteer forces at a conference under the presidency of General Arolas, military governor of Havana, 1esolved to exhaust their resources and d% rather than surrender.The American warships, tHe despatch says, are off Man- zanillo, apparently awaiting instructions, but tthe

the Crew says the Drills Were Regularly Held.\u2014\u2014\u2014\" The French Maritime Court Will Investigate Every Feature of the Accident.e\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 New York, July 19.\u2014General Agent Bocande, of the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique, arrived from France on the steamship La Navarre, of that company\u2019s line.M.Bocande was 11 Paris on a business trip when the news was received there of the sinking of the steamship La Bourgogne.M.Baconde exhibited with pride a letter received by President Perier, of the company, from Ambassador Porter, written on July 7, the day after the peceipt of the news of the catastrophe.\" The letter, on behalf of the entire personnel of the embassy, extends \u201csympathy and tears for the victims of the awful accident,\u201d and pays \u201cjustice to the hero- jem that was displayed in those terrible circumstances by the officers and crew of La Bourgogne.\u201d ; Speaking of the causes of the disaster, M.Bocande said that such accidents were likely to occur so long as sailing vessels and steamers frequented the same ocean paths, \u201cBut no one who is at all familiar with the discipline and care exercised in \u2018the navigation of the French line vessels,\u201d said \u2018he, \u201cwill say that tha sinking of La Bourgogne could have been avoided, at least by her officers and men.Not since the sinking of the Ville du Havre, in 1873, has the French line between Havre and New York lost any lives through a similar accident.Our vessels have made 2,600 trips since that time, and I think this fact speaks for itself.Such accidents will occur, however, so long as vessels cross the ocean.\u201d When asked concerning the charges made by passengers on La Bourgogne that no facilities were afforded for launching small boats, and that consequently many boats went down with the \u2018steamer, lashed to their davits, M.Bo- cande stated positively that such statements were false.\u201cI make all allowances for the excitement vmong the passengers immediately after the collision,\u201d he said, \u201cand say they simply do not know precisely what occurred.\u201cNo steamship line pays greater attention to drills and precautions for the safety of the passengers of its vessels than the French line.In the first place, when any vessel of the line reaches Havre, every one of her boats is not only lowered into the water, but also sailed some distance, in order to discover if any of the seams have opened during the trip.This drill is compulsory, and is never omitted, and i know that the boats of La Bourgogne were thus tested before she left Havre on her last voyage out.During every voyage three separate drills are engaged in, on each vessel.These drills are called \u201cFire Quarters,\u201d \u201cCollision Drill,\u201d and \u201cAbandon Ship Drill.\u201d \u201cAt collision drill all the watertight bulkheads are closed, and all pumps are worked.At fire quarters, the opera- \u2018tions are the same as resorted to in case of actual fire, such as working the pumps, leading the hose, etc.In \u201cabandon ship\u201d drill, every officer and member of the crew that can leave his duties takes his station at the boat of which he is regularly assigned.Every boat is \"lifted from its cradle, and swung out rn the davits to make sure that all the oist apparatus is in working order.\u201cEach of these drills must be indulged in at least once during every trip, and oftener at the discretion of the captain.I bave known captains to order these drills as often as three times on a single trip.We cannot have them every day for the reason that they disquiet the passengers.They are usually \u2018held during the early morning, before many of the passengers are awake.Every day at moon the captain makes an inspection of the vessel from stem to stern, from top to bottom, and the second captain does likewise at mid- right.very watch officer, before going off daty, sounds the \u201cwells\u201d to the see that mo leaks have developed in the hull.I do mot see how we could do wore.\u201d M.Bocande\u2019s attention was called to the statement of some of the passengers of La Bourgogne, that no drills whatever had been held before the collision, and he reported the statement that such drills might have been held while the passengers were asleep.When asked about the charges of cruelty on the part of the crew, M.Baconde said: \u201cOf course, I know no more of the actual facts than the general public.I do not believe, however, that in whatever confusion and excitement, that the crew were guilty of the acts.No man or woman can go through such a terrible catastrophe and give a detailed coherent story of what occurred.\u201d He was asked if the company would gpecially investigate \u2018the charges of brutality, and to this M.Bocande replied that the French Maritime Court would no doubt investigate every feature of the accident.He denied that his line had lost passenger and freight traffic since the accident, and said that the few persons who cancelled their passage on La Bourgogne were to be encountered at every sailing.He said that the French Senate had voted the bill for the new Government postal contract with the French line on July 3\u2014the day before the Bourgogne disaster, The contract requires fifty- two round trips a year, and for this purpose the line is hurrying the construction of two 23-knot vessels\u2014the Lorraine and A Martyr to Diarrhoea.Tells of relief from suffering by Dr.Fowler's Ext.of Wild Strawberry, There are many people martyrs to bowel complaints who would find Dr.Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry a wonderful blessing to them.It not only checks the diarrhea but soothes and heals the inflamed and irritated

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The Rallway\u2019s Extensive Preparations for Handling the Wests Grain This Year.Railway officials with offices in this city are already busily engaged in making preparations for the coming wheat crop.It is not often that the outsider realizes the extent of these preparations.i This year the railways will have to handle the biggest grain crop in the history of the West.Just so soon as harvesting begins a stupendous flood of wheat will come pouring down on the eastern seaboard From the West.This year farmers are anxious to sell, and there will be little delay in grain movement.So the railways for the last few weeks have been kept busy getting~ready for their snare of the work.The Canadian Pacific, the Grand Trunk and the Canada Atlantic are all heavy wheat carriers.But it is, of course, the Canadian Pacific that is the great artery through which the golden wealth of the Canadian North-west will flow to the east for export.For weeks past the superintendent of car service and his agents have been carefully watching the distribution of rolling stock, and so placing their hundreds of cars that tney will be most convenient for immediate service.Rolling stock that has been\" on ror- eign tracks has ben traced, and ordered hnme.Every old or injured grain car on wheels that can be put into service is being overhauled and made ready for use.Such cars as can be spared are being ! glowly distributed along the line in the | West.and placed upon side-tracks at country stations, so that they may be all ready when the rush begins.To help the farmer of the West get rid of his year\u2019s output at once the Canadian Pacific will this year allow him to load directly into grain cars, the following announcement to that effect having been posted: \u201cCommencing with this year\u2019s crop, the Canadian Pacific Railway Company will furnish cars to producers of grain to be fosded direct from waggons or teams,provided there be no unreasonable delay about loading the cars.\u201d This circular will be welcomed by many thousands of western, farmers.who have hitherto been denied the privilege of loading direct on to cars at points where elevators exist.For weeks past the railway officials have been carefully gathering information relative to the probable grain output.For months they have been watching the crop prospects, and governing themselves accordingyv.Latest reports show that this year\u2019s crop will be tremendous, and railway men, accordingly, are jubilant.Good crops always mean good times for them, and although it makes heavy work along the line for several weeks, the railway man never objects.GEORGVEILLE This resort, although its visitation of fire has been a heavy ome, is still booming.Fortunately, none of the summer boarding houses with which Georgeviile is so well supplied, were touched by the flames.The only real loss to the place was that of the Hotel Elephantis.There is, however, much talk of another building going up soon.The past week has brought many new guests to this pleasant spot, and the Owls Head Hotel is rapidly becoming a great centre of attraction.Among those to arrive at Lake Hall last week were Mr.David Denne, Mrs.Denne and family, of Montreal.Mr.Fred.Macduff is a guest of Mrs.A.G.Sheriff, at Cedar Cliffs.day from town to spend a few days with his relatives here, and inspect the ruins of the Camperdown Hotel, which belonged to the Murray estate, of West- mount, of which he is an executor.On Thursday the Victoria Band of Skerbrooke and a large party of people from the city enjoyed a trip through Lake Memphremagog, spending a very pleasant day on these far-famed waters.Last week\u2019s arrivals at Birch Bay Camp included Hon.Rev.Dr.S.J.Barrows, Washington, D.C., and Mr.Athole Me- Bean, Hartford, Conn.Mr.G.F.Armitage, Sherbrooke, was in gr on, Monday, adjusting losses by re.- ar.E.H.Carter, of the Bank of Commerce, Montreal, is spending a few days with Mrs.Carter at Woodlands.Miss Dunlop, Montreal, and Mrs.and Miss Wellington are guests at Cedar Clits.Mrs.John Murray, Mr.W.A.Murray and party visited Mr.Walter G.Murray at Massawippi on Sunday last.Mr.and Mrs.F.L.Fellows, Montreal, are staying at the Mansion House for the remainder of the month.Tha rather picturesque ruins of the Camperdown Hotel and Hotel Elephan- tis, with the other ruins from our recent fire, has attracted many sightseers from surrounding towns, notably Stan- stead and Magog, during the past fe days.° Ne George E.Archibald, secretary of the Sabbath School Union of the Province, who is spending July with his family at Portland, Me, has written a letter to a friend here notifying him that there would in all probability be an attendance of about 250 at the Summer School, commencing August 13, and the boarding-house keepers are, therefore, preparing for the rush.Despite the vush of the 15th inst., there will be lots of room for all who come, and nobody will be crowded.\u201cOur Camp\u2019 this season is occupied by Mrs.A.P.Grier, Mr.Ward, and a party of friends.It 1s one of the prettiest spots along the western lakeside, and the little yellow qctagonal cottage on the point is singularly attractive with its American and Canadian.flags always flying.The party is from Brooklyn, N.Y., which is Mrs.Grier\u2019s home.Trout Rock Cottage is the new home erected for summer use by Mr.S.A.Young, of Methuen, Mass.just opposite the Owl's Head Hotel, on the eastern shore of the lake.It is sheltered from strong northerly winds by the projection of Bay View Point, and the pretty water front is one of the most charming on the lake.Mr.Young is one of the expert trawlers for \u201clunge\u201d on Lake Mempure- magog, and he catches these delicious lake trout almost daily.Mr.Bienvenu is another fisherman who has almost phenomenal luck in the catching of these large fish, and his services are quite as much in demand.Prof.Chittenden, of Yale University, has, I understand, been fortunate enough to engage the services of this expert for the next six weeks.Accelerated Car Service.Owing to the great amount of traffic the Park and Island Railway have increased their service, and their cars now run as follows: \u2014 Around the Mountains, utes.To Back River, every 15 minutes.To Cartierville, every 20 minutes.To Lachine, every 15 minutes.every 10 min- Putting

was a good deal of activity, that is, activity compared with the markets of the past month or more.The movement was largely confined to Gas, Street Ry., and Pacific, and becides being active all three stocks went higher.A stir in Gas has been looked forward to for some time past, while Street Ry., on the other hand, is being bulled quite persistently on the strength of the larger earnings.In Pacific the factor has been the rate war.The improvement virtually started in London yesterday when the impression gained ground that the rate trouble was nearer a settlement now than it has ever been.Stress was of (surse Jdaid upon the reported meeting between Sir William Van Horne and Mr.Hill, of the Northern Pacific, in St.Paul, but it is pretty generally believed here that Sir William: didn\u2019t go to St.Paul in regard to the rate business at all.Another significant thing is the statement made by Mr.Shaughnessy to The Herald representative this morning to the effect that the Canadian Pacific wiil not Make Any Concession, and that it intends to stick to its present policy.; Pacific sold up another fraction in London this morning to 87 1-4, and in this market the stock advanced to 85, the range for the morning being 85 to 84 I2 Over 300 shares sold.In point of activity and strength the market was led by Street Ry.Nearly 1,000 shares sold on the basis of 270, and the

being put through on that basis.Halifax Ry., sold around 132 to 133, and War Fagle changed hands at $2.60 to $2.61.The hot weather is having its effect on the Street Railway earnings, and yester- dav they reaclted the Jirge total of 44 893.83, an increase over the same day fast year of $623.73.On Monday Toronto Ry.earnings amounted to $3,402.90.a decrease of $516.04, ad on Tuesday $3,370.83, a

Shoots at the Man Who Shielded the Wife.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Bullet Went Wide, and the Man Who Fired It is in Gaol.Cowansville, Que., July 21.\u2014(Special.)\u2014In attempting to protect a woman who was threatened with death by a passionate and brutal huband, Mr.William Ulric Cotton, son of Sheriff Cotton, Sweetsburg, was himself shot, but fortunately he escaped injury from the bullet.The affair occurred at Sheriff Cotton's residence, in the Township of Dunham, yesterday afiternoon.Lucy St.Martin is employed there as a servant, and her six-year-old daughter lives with her.She refuses to live with her busband because the latter is worthless and refuses to provide for her, Yesterday, St, Martin called on his wife and asked her to come and live with him.She again refused, and the wretch threatened to shoot her, at the same time displaying a revolver, She ran from the house screaming that her husband was trying to murder her.Young Mr.Cotton was at the time tue only member of the tamily at home.te was sitting on the balcony, and when be realized what was going on he stepped into the house before St.Martin came oui and closed the door to prevent him doing

\u2014 Season Here Opens August 29.\u201cThis continent will never have known such a season of stock companies as that whith commences in a very few weeks tier: aow.1 believe there will be from 70 to 73 running the entire season.\u201d These were the words of Mr.W.E.Phil- bips, manager and lessee of the Theatre Francais to a Herald reporter.Mr.Phil- Lips has just returned from a three week\u2019s trip through the principal American cities in which he has been inspecting the better class of theatres in America and conferring with his New York agents as to dramatic and vaudeville talent for Montreal for the coming season.The most interesting part of lus statement was that which had reter- ence to the personnel of the company ta be under his management.He said: 1 cannot give you the entire roster just at present, as there may be one or two changes in my plans, and I am still in correspondence with several leading artists who, I expect, will accept an engagement at the Francais.One thing I can say, however, 1s that Mr.Drew Morton, who has so successfully managed my stage for two seasons will again act in that capacity.Among the other old favorites whom 1 have reengaged are Miss Nellie Callaghan, who has such a host of friends in Montreal, and Mr.Walton Townsend.I can promise you that the company will be first-class in every respect.\u201d nN In reference to vaudeville Mr.Phillips said, \u201cI have booked some of the very best attractions: that are to be found in America.You know it is not by any means an easy thing to provide say four or five good vaudeville acts every week the season round.We cannot always personally sce the acts we engage, but I have endeavored to be present at as many entertainments as I could crowd into three wecks, and out of the lot have only engaged the very best that I could see.Another thing I might mention, they want more money, but of course you don\u2019t care about that.Nor do you need to.1 am quite willing to spend money to get the very best that is to be had.Another thing that will be difficult, though I shall overcome it, will be thasecuring of good plays, there being so many stock companics now the demmæd is vory great, and therefore holders of such plays as I want are makin up their minds to get all they can out o them.\u201d \u201cT return to New York,\u201d concluded Mr.Phillips, \u201cvery shortly, and expect to be home again with my entire company in time to give them a good rehearsal for the opening on August 29.\u201d »> Commercial Tax Cases.The Collector of Inland Revenue has

for arson.The petition for Beizer\u2019s release asks that he be set free in September next.Chief Justice Sir Alexander Lacoste, who tried the case, and eight of the jurymen who brought him in guilty have signed the paper praying for his freedom.Among the names on the petition are Messrs.James Price, James McShane, Robert Bickerdike, M.P.P., James Elliott (Molsons Bank), John Edgar (Green, Sons &

Mr.Wainright States the Case for the Railroad\u2014Mr.Hays is Not at Home and Things are at a Standstill, Oncer again the Grand Trunk officials and the Finance Committee are at loggerheads.It now looks as if the contemplated solution of old difficulties is as far away as ever.The company has refused to accept the site on the terms imposed by the Finance Committee.I'he Mayor has had a conference with Mr.Wainwright, who, in the absence of Manager Hayes, is representing the company.When seen by a Herald representative this morning, Mr, Wainwright stated that the McGill street site had only been ac- eepted on the understanding that the city give a sufficient area of the property owned by them to enable the company to put up such a building as would be suitable for their purposes and a credit to the city.The general manager agreed to this in order to meet the constantly expressed, wishes of merchants, and after his proposition, which he was asked to make, for the old Haymarket square had been refused, he agreed that if the Council would make a distinct counter-offer he would be willing to consider it on the understanding there should be no further controversy, and that the building could be proceeded with without delay.This was dene, and the offer accepted in the same language in which it was made, but notwithstanding this, new conditions have since been added to the proposed agreement by the Finance Committee which the cempany are not prepared to comply with, and thus the matter rests.Mr.Wainwright further stated that, the company propose to spend a large amount of money in the construction of the general offices for the convenience of the company, and they have an impression they should be allowed to spend it in their own way, seeing that they have accepted the provision that the plans of the building to be put up shall be subject to the approval of the Council.The obligation to which the company chiefly takes objection is that compelling them to use none but local labor in the construction of their buildings.The ofti- cials say that mahy of the men they and their contractors employ on works of this kind live outside the city, and that the obligation as it stands would simply put them under the thumbs of one or two city trade unions, who could impose what orerous terms they chose.Another clause objected to is that tha land shall revert to the city in case, at some future time, no matter how distant, the offices should be removed from the proposed site., 177 St.James Street.2387 St, Catherine St.West, 1553 St.Catherine St.East, mme DECISION THE GARNISHEE LAW.Most of Dr, Devlin's Salary Protected by Law, Although He isnot Exclusively a Civil Servant.An interesting decision was rendered this morning by Mr.Justice Loranger, defining the application of the garnishee law.The salary of Dr.F.E.Devlin, Govern- { ment physician of Longue Pointe Asylum, had been aistrained for a debt.Dr.Dev- !'lin opposed the seizure on the ground that, under the new code, three-fourths of his salary was exempt.This was answered hy an argument that, as Dr.Devlin did not devote all his time to the care of the inmates of the asylum, he could not be regarded a Government salaried employe, The court took a different view, and decided that Dr.Devlin\u2019s salary was protected to the extent of three-fourths, and rendered judgment accordingly.ST.FRANCIS COLLEGE STAFF COMPLETED.ee The Protestant Schrol Commiss on rs Have Leased the Institution on Favorable Terms\u2014A.0.U.W.Lodge Richmond, July 21.\u2014(Special.})\u2014A lodge
