Wilkes Makes a Statement in Which He Disclaims Any |Il-Feeling, 2er MISS FRENCH'S EVIDENCE, fp About as Good for Side as for the Other.per It Was One APANEE, Ont., Aug.12.\u2014 (Special.) \u2014 Magistrate Daly has decided that he will not try the bank case, and he has put the prisoners on their defence to show cause why they should not be committed for trial at the next assizes.His Worship would not take the responsibility of judgiig so important a case and, although Ponton had elected to be tried by him, he would not separate him from the others.The decision comes as a disappointment to many friends of Ponton, who thought that he would be tried at once and, of course, that it would result in his discharge.As the magistrate has refused to separate the prisoners at this stage, it is feared that he will not at a future time, und that if one goes up for trial all will go.Next week promises to bring some interesting evidence, if the defence adheres to the decision to offer it on behalf of the prisoners, and will be more attractive to the crowd of court-goers than the present Weck.The only other point of interest this morning besides the magistrates decision was a statement by Detective Wilkes at the close of his evidence, defending himself and his colleague Dougherty from imputations cast upon them by the defence Liwyere, Mr.Wilkes declared emphatically that he was doing nothing but his duty in the case, and was not animated by any feelings of bitterness towards the prisoners.Yesterday's proceedings are satisfactory to both sides and every one is satisfied with the testimony given by the seventeen witnesses beard.The Crown believes that the evidence of Baines and Wilkes st'l further implicates the ex-teller, Ponton, while a mass of evidence was put in connecting Holden, Pare and Mackie with each other, and proving their presence in the neîghborhood of Napanee for weeks before the robbery.Ponton\u2019s lawyers, on the other hand, are greatly pleased with the day\u2019s results.They place no weight on the fact that Ponton occasionally had Mr.Bains as naturally he was entitled to h when the manager was away their theory as to the impressions of keys ound in Ponton\u2019s drawer is that the piece of paper was put there by the detectives themselves.Colonel Ponton, speaking to The Herald Last night, expressed his belief that it was impossible to convict his nephew.There was no corroboration of Pare\u2019s story and they would be able to show that it contained inherent contradictions being at variance with facts di other witnesses.key, ave it and of course as well as sclomed by Miss French\u2019s evidence was looked forward % as likely to yield some sensational material, but when she left the witness stand after being there a short half hour, honors were about cvenly divided between the defence and the prosecution.The identification of the tools she saw lying on Mackie\u2019s bed with those produced in court failed.and Ger story, as a whole, told as much for the defence as against the prisoner Mackie, Ex-Manager Baines was a very nervous witness, and this showed itself in occasional bursts of irritability, partieularly under cross-examination.Regarding the figures of the combination written on the back of his calendar, he became quite angry and wished it to be distinctly understood that he put the marks there, Mr.Baines repeated that he haa suspected Ponton, but the only reason for his suspicion that he could give was that Ponton sent up to tell him on the Saturday morning that the vault would open, instead of telephoning, Wetective Wilkes was very explicit as to the finding of the paper with the impressions of the keys in Ponton\u2019s bureau drawer.Miss French\u2019s Identification Fails.There was a rustling of dresses and a craning of necks when Miss Margaret French appeared just after the court reassembled at two diglock.The witness, from whom some sensational evidence respecting her cousin Mackie was expected, was escorted up by County Constable Sills, ard after being sworn was given a chair.Miss French is a prepossessing blonde, of medium height and build, and is not more than twenty-five years old.She wore a white silk waist, with black stripes, collar and loose tie in yellow and pink tints, linen skirt, with a white sailor 1at, trimmed with black ribbon, and a white veil.It was evident that she was giving testimony against her cousls with, the utmost reluctance, and there was quite à quaver in her voice at first.Her answers were given in a low voice, but were easily audible.Miss French was examined by Mr.Osler, nnd deposed that she lives with her mother in Toronto and is a trained nurse.She is first cousin to Mackie, in whose house on Church street, Belleville, she lived for eight months during the winter of 1898-7.She did not know what Mackie\u2019s business put the room to rights.\u201cDid you ever see that?\u201d (a small crowbar).\u201cNo.\u201d 498 \u201cPid you ever see a brace and bit?2 \u201cWhat was the thing like, you saw?\u201d \u201cit was like that (pointing to the crowbar) with a handle to it.\u201d The Witness afterwards had a conversation with Mrs.Mackie about this circum: stance, but only after Mrs.Mackie had first introduced the subject.; \u201cDo you remember an occasion when Mackie came home?\u201d \u201cI remember one very cold night he came home, and he said he had been away driving twenty-five miles, that the horse ran away and the rig broke, and his face was cut by falling.\u201d \u201cWhen was that?\u201d \u2018The last of January or February.\u201d - \u201cAt what time was that in relation to the time you saw the tools on the bed?\u201d \u201cYhis was a few days after 1 saw the tools.\u201d One of Mackie\u2019s Letters.Questioned as to Mackie\u2019s hours, Miss l'rench said he often came home late, af- ier she and Mrs.Mackie had gone to bed.This she said later was sometimes ten a\u2019clocle, but more often eleven and twelve, and she was not able to tell when Mackie came in.He slept late in the morning.Mr.Osler then asked the witness if she had ever written a letter for Mackie, and she replied that she had written a letter addressed to W.Durand, Dominion Bank, but she could not remember whether \u201cNapanee\u201d was on it or not.\u201cWhat did he ask you to write?\u201d \u201cHe had written a letter which 1 copied for aim.It seemed as if two girls, or a girl and her friend, were to call on Durand and a friend of his id the bank, but that when they called there was company; and that they would call next night and be there, and Durand was to have no one in.They were to rap on the window or side door.\u201d \u201cWhat name was signed to the letter?\u201d \u201cNo name was signed.\u201d Handed a puotogiaph of Roach, Miss French said the profile view looked like a man whose name Mrs.Mackie told her wus Jack.lie came once to the house, and she also saw him outside.She remembered a summons co.ning in connection witu the broken rig, about which Mrs.Mackie told her something.Mackie visited her and her mother at 59 Mutual street, Toronto, about the time of Ponton\u2019s trial.she made a remark that it was too bad if à young man like him was to be sent down for fifteen or twenty years, but nothing more was said.Mr.Porter objected to this evidence as against Ponton.Miss French said she had never heard Ponton\u2019s name mentioned by the prisoner.On her return to \"Toronto about July 6 or 7 last year, she told her brother Peter something in consequence of what she heard and saw in Belleville.Peter is now in Montreal.Her uncle Robert, who was present at Mutual street when Mackie was there, is now in Dawson City.Defence Weakens Her Testimony.Mr.Wilson, Mackie\u2019s lawyer, directed the opening portion of his Cross-exainina- tion to eliciting what Miss French\u2019s recollection of the tools was.She knew Mackie kept a revolver, which might have been on the bureau on the night she saw the teols.- She would not accept Mr.Wilson\u2019s suggestion that it was the tray of a trunk which was lying on the bed, with the articles in it.but she thought the tools were a hammer and a knife shorpener, such as might be about any house.The lawyer endeavored to show from Miss French\u2019s evidence that it was nothing unusual for Mackie to keep late hours going to bed and getting up.\u201cWas not Mackie sick a lot Wiz sore throat?\u201d \u201cNot while I was there.but he was sick once, Mrs.Mackie told me.\u201d \u201cYou Xnew that Mrs.Mackie\u2019s little girl was being treated for her teeth?\u2019 \u201cThat was after I left.\u201d .Miss French stated that she first saw her cousin twelve years ago, but did not see him again till two years ago.Since then she had seen him often.~The witness was then relieved from further examination, The Finding of the \u201cPlant.\u201d Chief of Police Samuel as to the duplicate key compartment, which he found in the police cells.Magistrate Daly was handed up the original and the duplicate, and foud that they fitted perfectly.Carrying in a piece of fence rail and an armful of paper bundles, the chief gave evidence as to the finding of the robbers\u2019 \u201cplant.\u201d About mid-day on July 14 last, on information given him by Chief Detective Carpenter, he and that officer went down the Grand Trunk track to the first half- mile post east of the town limits.Looking directly towards the fence, they saw on the sccond board from the top the Jetters \u201cG.T.R.,\u201d below which the ground had Deen disturbed.The chief produced a piece of this board about three feet in length, on which the letters were cut clearly and evenly, about an inch and a half square each.In the hole were found a piece of oilcloth and some string, and flat on the bottom, 15} Inches down, was a piece of tin, all of which were produced.Subsequently Chief Adams found a tin box about ten or twelve feet east from the hole.This box, also produced, is an ordinary tin cracker box, about 6 by 8 by 9 inches, with one side dinged in.It will be remembered that Pare said that when the money was removed the box was kicked away into the ditch east from the hole.On Sunday, July 17, the witness visited Mrs.Blemett\u2019s shed, next the bank, in company with Detectives Dougherty, Wilkes, Thornhill, Dowd, Chief Healy and Mrs.Healy.At the place described by Pare to Healy they dug up a brace, jimmy, complete drill, broken drill, file and punch.The broken drill, he believed, must have been broken in the course of the search, as the break was new, but the other portion could not be found.Myr.Wilson was curious to know who had accompanied Adams when the box was found.The chief answered that Crown Attorney Herrington, who actually found the box, Mr.Madden, and a Grand Trunk man, who had been authorized io cut the fence board out, were with him.Adams spoke to Mr.Baines\u2019 Evidence Against the \u201cTramps.\u201d Sidney Scott, living at Richmond, near Hanley\u2019s Point, was a witness to the identity of Holdon and Mackie.Once he saw four men in his sap-house, one of whom he never saw since, Holden and Pare, and, he thought, Mackie.This was during a very rainy week in July.Pare and Holden he saw several times afterwards, Witness told Mr.Preston that he had talked with the four men in the sap- house for an hour or so.Holden had a moustache at that time.Replying to Mr.Wilson, he said he had often seen Pare sitting around the market square, nearl the bank, always alone.He was sure in his own mind Mackie was one of the tramps he saw in the sap- house.Walter Coxall, a Napanee grocer, was called to testify as to selling an empty cracker tin a year ago.He had a faint recollection of selling such a tin, the | \u2014 -\u2014\u2014 ; \u201cDid you ever notice anything out of the \"label of which was that of the tin produced.William H.Hunter told a story about finding traces of a team of horses having been under his shed one night in February, 1897, and missing a pair of robes.Later he got a letter with a Kingston postmark which directed him to look for the robes in the southeast corner of a barn the location of which was described.Hunter searched in five barns without success, but two Indians found them further on and brought them to him.While in Belleville giving information to the police, he learned that \u201cWhale\u201d Mackie, the prisoner\u2019s brother, had driven a rig that night, but Mackie could not tell him who he was driving.The \u201cWhale\u201d was prosecuted by the livery man for the damage to the rig, and had to pay for it.This was_the gist of Hunter\u2019s story, but it was told in a most rambling way and incoherent form.Noises in Ponton\u2019s Rooms.Joseph Haycock, jr., a nephew of the Patron leader in the last session of the Ontario Legislature, is also a nephew of Mrs.McGreer, from whom Ponton rented his rooms.Examined by Crown Attorney Herrington, he stated that he slept at his aunt\u2019s house on the night of the robbery, directly over Ponton\u2019s rooms, as he understood.During the night he wal awakened by the noise of a heavy body falling in Ponton\u2019s rooms, succeeded by light footsteps and the murmur of voices, showing there was more than one person there.Haycock had never seen any of the prisoners except Ponton, but one night he had met a man with a dark moustache on the stairs beside Ponton\u2019s door.Mr.Northrup took this witness in hand, and drew from him a statement that he was suffering from toothache that night, awakening two or three times.He remained positive that he heard the noises coming from Ponton\u2019s room, and that if it had been \u201chis good aunt\u2019s angel footsteps,\u201d as Mr.Northrup put it, he would have been able to tell the difference.A.W.Grange, owner of the property, gave formal testimony as to the position of the room, and as to letting in to Ponton through Mr.Douglas, of the Paisley House.Mr.Hill, manager of the Napanee branch of the bank, handed in and swore to a statement he had prepared of the cash in the bank on Aug.27 last.The amount was $21,229 and $10,000 in unsigned bills.The Former Manager Testifies.The public interest, which had been disappointed in Miss French\u2019s testimony, revived when Mr.Baines, manager of the bank a year ago, was called to the stand, and examined by Mr.Osler.Mr.Baines identified his key, which had been used by him to open his compartment, and verified the statements of specie in the bank the dav before the robbery.He gave th etotal amount as $33,140.50.On August 5th Mr.Baines said he was playing cricket in Napanee against Pic- ton, and he asked Ponton to close the safe, which did not need a knowledge of the combination.Part of the bank\u2019s assets were in Government bonds.and the ten-day balance sheet of August 10th, 1897, showed that the bank had then Government bonds to the amount of $10,486.20.The entry was in Ponton\u2019s handwriting.These bonds were never kept in Napanee, and the amount was simply a book-keep- ing asset.This was the only agency which had such an entry, and the amount was reduced every six months.Mr.Baines said that he put some ot the new tens in circulation on August 27th, the supply of tens having run short.He saw this from Ponton\u2019s report to the head office the previous night.Describing the marks on the safe, Mr.Baines said his compartment had been pried open, but the teller\u2019s compartment above had apparently, from outside view, been opened with a kev.The witness identified the oilcloth found in the \u201cplant\u201d as that which had been used to cover a bundle of mortgages deposited by a customer.Ponton\u2019s Finances.The kev to his compartment, which he had identified, had been lent to Ponton two or three times last summer, when he had occasion to be away before closing time.In replies to some questions as to Ponton\u2019s financial position, - Mr.Paines stated \u2018that he got a salary of $600 A year, from which a deduction of $18 was made, so that he received monthly $48.50.The books would show what bonus he got.He had applied for permission to carry an I.O.U.for $20, which he increased to $35 on July 30th.It stood at that figure on the day of the robbery, was reduced to $20 on August 31st, and seemed to have disappeared sometime in September.The item was criticised at the inspection, and Mr.Baines said he was blamed for having allowed it.It was regularly irreglar, but was a common practice, although against the rules.The safe combination, known to himself and Durand, was 39-66-80-43.Mr.Osler put in seven checks, signed by Ponton and paid.These were taken from his rooms and figured in the firs ttrial.Baines said that two of them had passed regularly through the bank, but the other five, aggregating $55, must have been taken up by the ex-teller out of his own pocket.The witness\u2019 eyes glistened as the Crow counsel produced the coins which he had lost through the robbery.The first lot were contained in a grey woollen sock, and the bulk of them, witness said, were like some he had in his collection.A tive flcrin Belgian piece he definitely identified as his, from the fact that he had blackened the spaces over the crown to bring out the work better.The coins were in his compartment on August 27th, and were missing next morning.Out of a dozen coins in a purse the witness selected three to which he swore pointblank, These were a Papal piece of Clement X., bearing date, either 1675 or 1679, the last figure being illegible; a Neath to- ekn of twelve-pence, dated 1811; and a colonial trade shilling, which he remembered by one side being worn.The witness also identified some ten-dollar hills with charred edges as part of the stolen series of 46,001 to 47,000.Why Baines Suspeced Ponton.The witness passed into the hands ot Mr.Northrup for cross-examination, and was questioned as to his first knowledge of anything wrong at the bank.This was on Saturday morning about nine o'clock, when Green went to his house and told him something was wrong with the lock.Baines gave orders to have Mr.Smith called in and hurried down to the bank, after getting his breakfast.It was not till the Toronto expert had opened the safe in the evening that he began to sus- rect a robbery, and when he could not get into his compartment.While in the act of opening it, Ponton said: \u201c The coppers are gone.\u201d | \u201cWhat was the first thing that oec- curred to make you suspect Ponton ?\u201d \u201cThe first thing that caused me to suspect Ponton was his sending up Green that morning instead of my receiving a telephone message as I had always on bank business.On all bank messages I had been always telephoned by Ponton.\u201d \u201cBut there never was such an oceur- rence before ?\u201d \u201cNo.\u201d \u201cThis was extraordinary bank business ?\u201cAnd should have had a telephone message at once.\u201d \u201cBut you would not like to have the failure of your bank safe to open to be shouted in the street.Don\u2019t you know that telephone messages are liable to he heard by other people on the line ?\u201d \u201cNot Continued on page 4.+ .INTOLERABLE,\u201d SAYS THE STANDARD Lord Salisbury

Aug.12.\u2014The House of Commons met to-day at 10.30 am.A host of questions on the subject of China elicited little information, except that the Government leader, Mr.Balfour, declined to pledge the Government to prevent the ratification of the Franco-Belgian Pekin- Hankow concession.sut Mr.Balfour proposed that in the event of British capitalists purchasing railroad concessions obtained by French or Belgian syndicates in the Yang-Tse-Kiang valley, Her Majesty's Government would support and assist them, both in London and at Pe- kih, in this and in all other legitimate British commercial enterprises.The China appropriation bill then passed its third reading, and the session was suspended until 2.30 p.m., when Parliament will be prorogued.The Queen\u2019s Speech.The Queen\u2019s speech at the prorogation of Parliament is as follows : My Lords and Gentlemen,\u2014My relations with other nations continue friendly.I have witnessed with the deepest sorrow the hostilities which have taken place between Spain and the United States, two nations to which my empire is bound by many ties of affection ant tradition.Negotiations recently opened give fair ground for hoping that the deplorable conflict will be brought to a termination by the conclusion of an honorable and enduring peace.The changes which have taken place in the territorial relations of other powers with the Chinese empire induced me to conclude agreements whereby the harbor of Wei-Hai-Wei and certain positions adjacent to my colony of Hong Kong were leased to me by the Emperor of China.I trust these arrangements will conduce to the inaintenance of his independence and the security of his empire, and be favorable to the development of the extensive commerce carried on between the people of Great Britain and China.Paragraph three refers to the guaranteeing, in conjunction with Rudsis and France, of the loan to enable Greece to pay the Turkish war indemnity.he fourth paragraph expresses satls- faction at the conclusion of the convention with France, finally settling West African Questions.Penny Postage.The spesch then refers to ments made to establish at an early dale penny postage between the United Kingdom, Canada, Newfoundland and elsewhere, makes reference to the plague still existing in certain portions of Western f- dia and the Punjaub, and concludes: the arrange- Bountiful

depression caused by the famine.| \u201cGentlemen of the House of Commons:\u2014 \u201cI thank you for the liberal provision you have made for the defence of my empire.The sacrifices asked of you are severe, but no greater than the exigencies of the present time require.I am glad to rec- cgnize the value of provisions to which you have assented for increasing the strength and efficiency of my army.\u201cMy Lords and Gentlemen:\u2014 \u201cI see with much gratification that you have this year added to the statute book an important measure assimilating the local institutions of Ireland to

fundamental institutions of the realm.\u201d After expressing satisfaction at the adoption of bills enabling accuseds to testify in their own behalf, for preventing the abuse of patronage and the occupation of benefices of the Established Church, \u201cthe principles of which bills have been generally accepted for many years, though, hitherto, Shere has been no opportunity to make them

usual routine of business had been finishell P.G.M.Pearson made the presentation, and in doing so spoke very highly of the services Mr.Lowe had rendered to the order during his term of office.Bro.Lowe thanked the officials for the presentation and hoped that he would be spared health and strength to still continue working for the order.P.P.G.MeHardisty and McDowell also addressed the meeting.The

Wednesday\u2014Sir Charles Tupper Will Speak.On Wednesday next the Canadian Medical Association opens its annual convention in Convention Hall, Laval University, Quebec.A very large attendance is looked for, as delegates will be present from all the provinces.The Association elects its president one year in advance.At the last annual session Dr.Beausoleil, of this citv, was chosen for the high office, and will assume the duties attaching to it on Wednesday.The principal subject which will \u201cbe dealt with will be that of inter-provinéial registration.This topic has been discussed at every session of the Association since its organization in 1867.At first it was regarded as chimerical, but as the years advanced those in favor of such a system of registration became more numerous, and of late years it has been apparent that the realization of the scheme was not far distant.At last annual session all the provinces favored it, with the exception of Ontario.Seeing that they stood alone, the Ontario delegates have decided to make it unanimous.At fhe last meeting of the Ontario board a committee to deal with the question was appointed.The committee is composeal of the following eminent medical gentlemen: Drs.Thornburn, Dickson, Moore, Rogers, Pyne, Williams and Taylor.The adoption of the British Pharmacopeia as the standard for Canada will also be discussed.The students now use the French, German and American books indiscriminately, and as a result there is not the uniformity for weights, measures, etc, that should exist.It is believed that the Association will decide in favor of the adoption of the British work.This will make a uniform standard throughout the Empire.(An interesting feature of the convention will be an address by Sir Chas.Tup- per, Bart, \u2018the first president of the Asso- clation.BOUM IN VIRGINIA.It Has Advanced 22 Points in Three Days-It May be $1.20 in a Few Days.Rossland, B.C, Aug.12\u2014Iron Colt shareholders met to-day and decided to

THIS EVENING, Several of the Conservative Back.Benchers Were Heard from Yesterday.THE CONSTABLES\u2019 \u2014 mn Toronto, Aug.¥2.\u2014(Special.)\u2014It looks as though there might be a division at the Legislature on the address some time to-night.The House sat until one o\u2019clock this morning, when Mr.Cardeallen, of Hamilton, moved the adjournment of the debate.This, of course, means that he will resume this afternoon.He will probably be followed by the Minister of Education, and this great oratorical duel is expected to form the grand finale of the debate.It was rumored about the corridors yesterday that Hon.William Harty would not fight the protest against him in the Kingston election courts.The Opposition were somewhat nonplussed yesterday to observe a little change of tactics on the part of the Government.Mr.Hardy has evidently determined that, if prolongation is to be the order, his followers shall not be a party to it.In accordance with this attitude the Ministernalists listened like sphinxes to the aggressions of three Opposition back-benchers, and made no sign that the thrusts had penetrated their political hearts.Mr.W.A.Kribs, of South Waterloo, talked on the address for over an hour, assailing the Government on every point from present issues to the surplus.Mr.Kribs sat down, and spectators looked across the floor to see someone rise.They were somewhat startled, however, to hear further opposition thumping, and looking back beheld Dr.Elisha Jessop, of Lincoln, on his feet.He was more complaisant than the last speaker, but insisted that Mr.Hardy was in full retreat, and refused to accept the Attorney- General's version of his alleged statement about not having men capable of filling the position of Minister of Agriculture.Mr.H.G.Lackner, Conservative, had been the first of his party to represent North Waterloo in the Legislature since Confederation, and he so told the House.He made another attack, reviewing thé alleged failure of the Government, and badgered them about calling off their dogs and stopping the debate.course of a good oratorical effort he touched legally upon the constable ques tion.Mr.Beatty, of Leeds, started the discussion m the evening.It was supreme folly, he said.to suppose that in the case of Mr.Gibson the decision of Hamilton would be reversed in the event of another election.The electors of the strongest Liberal riding in the province have said they do not want the Minister of Agriculture in that or any capacity.They approved of neither his policy nor ms methods.The Government had violated the spirit if not the letter of the law by calling the House without a full Cabinet.A suggestion he offered was that owing to the increasing importance of iron ore an opportunity was afforded the Government to divert some of the trade to Canada.\u201clet a competent man be sent to England to interview the prominent iron- makers and iron masters of Great Britain, taking with him samples to show the quality, and be able to fully explain what Canada has to offer.It has been said politics is a game, but all games have fixed rules, and it is not fair to change these rules, as is attempted in the present case, after the game has begun.\u201d The thread was taken up by Dr.Pyne, who in paying the usual congratulations to the Speaker, said that with two portfolios vacant the Government had not offered him one.\u201cIt is evident, Mr.Speaker, that you have gone as far as VOTES, you can go.In future you will have to look to us for advancement.\u201d (Ape plause.) Dr.Pyne said the Government ought to awake from its Rip Van Winkle sleep of twenty-five years and do something with the iron ore of the country.In denying the analogy of the Macdonald precedent, Dr.Pyne said the unblemished reputation of the judiciary of Canada had never been questioned for thirty years.The debate was continued by Mr.Kidd, of Carleton; Mr.Hodgins, of MMid- diesex; the M'avor of Hamilton and Mr.Little, of Cardwell.Mr.Carscallen, of Hamilton, moved the adjournment of the debate, AT CHAUTAUQUA.Their Excellencies Received a Warm Welcome on Their Arrival Last Night, Buffalo, N.Y., Aug.12.\u2014A special to the News from Chautauqua, says: The Earl and Countess of Aberdeen arrived at Mayville at three o\u2019clock last night, and were met at the station by the officials of the Assembly and a pariy of about three hundred Chautau- quans.A special boat was waiting at the dock, and the distingulshed guests were conveyed to the Assembly grounds shertly after their arrival.It is the Canadian Governor- General\u2019s and his accomplished wife\u2019s first visit here, and an claborate programme has been arranged in their honor for Recognition Day, August 17, and it is quito probable either the Earl or Countess will deliver the annual Recognition Day address.This morning the Earl and Countess attended the grand concert in the amphitheatre, which was given under the personal direction of William H.Sherwood.Received Fatal Injuries.Toronto, Ont., Aug.12.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Frank Traiters, a steamfitter, died last evening from injuries which he recelved yesterday morning at Mimico Asylum.He was employed by the city to do some work on a radiator in the asylum, and while on his knees detaching some pipe the radiator toppled over on him, fracturing his

Mniister of Public Works, accompanied by his daughters, has been spending the past two days in this locality inspecting our publie buildings and Government wharves.Mr.Tarte arrived in Pictou Sunday afternoon, and was met by Mr.E.M.Macdonald, M.P.P.Under Mr.Macdonald\u2019s guidance Monday was spent in ex- ambining the harbor of Pictou, and subsequently in visiting the coal mines at Westville.On Tuesday the party, after being joined by Mr.Lemieux, M.P.for Gaspe, and Mr, Tarte\u2019s son, proceeded to New Glasgow, where, under the guidance of Mr.A.C.Bell, M.P., and J.D.Me- Gregor, the iron furnaces and steel works were visited.Mr.Tarte was much in- teresttd in the various processes of metal working, which he witnessed, and expressed himself as surprised and delighted at the magnitude of the works.The party was entertained.at luncheon by Mr.J.W.Carmichael, M.P., and immediately after took the train again for Pic- tou, when they sailed to Charlottetown and the Magdalen Islands.The impression produced by the Mia- ister of Public Works was excellent, the only regret being that his visit was necessarily so short.It was the intention of the Liberals of Pictou to tender him a banquet, but this pleasure had for the present to be foregone.A TRUST COMPANY.An Addition to Montreal's Financial Institutions Now in Process of Organization, Another has been added to the long list

Leaders, But None of Them Have a Majority.ANOTHER ELECTION LIKELY, Mr, Beaven, Who Has Been Unsuce cessful Up to Date, Gives His Views, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 TURNER'S STRONG FOLLOWING, parer Victoria, B.C., Aug.12.\u2014Late last night Mr.Beaven stated that he would not announce until to-day the upshot of his efforts to form a Cabinet, and discussing the political situation, he said \u201cThe result of the general election hag left matters in this province in a very peculiar position.Practically there are three leaders among the legislative mem.bers-elect.Mr.Turner has the largest following, sixteen; Mr.Joseph Martin has nine; Mr.Semlin has eight.In addition, there are two members-elect ag opposed to Mr.Turner who have not defined their allegiance to either Mr.Sem- lin or Mr, Martin, and are commonly eredited with a preference for Mr, Cotton.Then there are three Independents, making a total-of thirty-eight members.Mr, Joseph Martin is credited with declaring that if Mr.Semlin ts chosen leader of the Opposition he will resign his seat, This statement he did not deny when it Was put to him\u2018in my presence, Some of Mr.Semlin\u2019s friends strongly resent Mr, Joseph Martin as leader of the party or as a member of the Government if one is to be formed.\u201cUnder such cireumstances how can either of these gentlemen carry on the government of the province.If all the Independents are given to Mr, Turner, he has only one-half of the House.IE Oppositionists should all unite on ong leader they are in the same position with this additional peculiarity, that one of the number is believed to have been ineligible as a candidate.In addition to all of these complications, election pel: tions are filed against nearly all \u2018the members returned.\u2019 After speaking in support of the position that the Lieutenant-Governor has absolute freedom of choice in the Seice tion of Premier, and stating that substantial reasons had been advanced to him for the choice made in this instance, Mr.Beaven proceeded : +] immediately put myself in communication with prominent men in ditferent sections of the province.Mr.W.W.B.Melnnes, from Vancouver; Mr.Joseph Martin, jor Vancouver; Mr.Charles Semlin, Cache Creek, very kindly consented to visit the capital and consult with me as to the position of affairs.Mr.Cotton I did not { Invite, his coming being of his own accord.1 did not offer him a seat in the | Cabinet.\u201cI take the vlew that representation in the Cabinet should be given to Kootenay, ale, Vancouver city and the northern gd southern districts of Vancouver is- and.\u201cI met with every encouragement from quarters I least expéetéd, dut I encountered the most un comprouiising opposition from Mr.Joseph Martin.Mr.Sem- lin, if a free agent, I am convinced would work for the interest of the country, but I ascertain that I cannot expect assistance from his or his friends.The opposition, therefore, of these two gentlemen, representing as they do sixteen members from mainland constituencies, renders it-necessary for me, in order to be successful, to appoint members of the Cabinet from gentlemen strong and popular in their districts, but at present without seats in the Legislature.\u201d Mr.Beaven adds that this would necessitate another general election, which he hesitated to advise on account of the great disturbance in the business of the province which would result.As an alternative, he might decide to thank His Honor for the confidence reposed in him, and ask to be relieved from further duty in the matter.He hoped to be able to decide to-day which course to pursue.The Colonist, commenting editorially on the interview with Mr.Beaven, says by duty to advise the Lieutenant-Governor that Mr.Turner is the proper perso\u201d, to call upon to form a Cabinet.It is TF: derstood that the member-elect referred to as ineligible is Mr.Prentise, whose naine it is said was not upon the voters\u2019

newspapers have, thercfore, taken it upon themselves to denounce as absolutely false the report that Lieutenant-Governor McInnes stipulated with Hon.Mr.Beaven that his son, W.W.B.McInnes, M.P.for Nanaimo, was to be taken into any cabinet Mr.Beaven might be able to form.However, Mr.Beaven practically admits that his task will be unsuccessful.He cannot form a cabinet, Mr.Beaven has intimated that he may have a definite announcement to make this evening as to his undertaking to form à cabinet, but so far he has not made the expected communication.Mr.Beaven denied the statement published that Mr.Cotton had had an interview with hin He also denied that Mr.Remlin had re fused to join his administration, and added that the situation was boiling down into two positions, one of which was the abandonment of the task he had undertaken or the calling in of others outside of the Op- pcsition partv.Mr.Semlin had an interview with the Lieutenant-Governor but had nothing to say for

been diplomatically one of the busiest since the outbreak of the war.There have been no fewer than three cabinet councils, in addition to \u2018various diplomatic conferences.Though the text of the protocol was not received until the evening was well advanced, the Government had been well advanced, the Government had been made ly acquainted with its contents through Paris.The matter was practically settled at the Cabinet meeting this afternoon, and the recelpt of the document, therefore, only required a meeting of the Cabinet for iormal acceptance.The ministers adhere to the statement that the protocol contains no modifications of the original terms, but only new suggestions, They expect it will be signed at Washington to-morrow (Friday), and that a suspension of hostilities will be announced.] Duke Almodovar de Rio, Minister of Foreign Affairs, assures the correspondent oi the Associated Press that the negotiations for the peace treaty will take place in Paris, but he says the commissioners have not yet been appointed.The terms of the protocol will not be published until the instrument has been signed, Madrid, Aug.11.\u2014The ministerial council this

my disposal offers of positions on the com- nussion were made to Senor Moret, Leon y Castillo, Mgr.Merry del Val, Almodovar, ond Senor Barnabe.Senor Moret, I understand, would not accept the mission under present conditions, because he considers the possibilities of any agreement by such a committee as hopeless, and, un- authoritatively, I may state such is the opinion of the Government.This, as is generally known, figures prominently in Spain\u2019s peaceful reply.Senor Sagasta \u2018was to-day in an optimistic state of mind.A member of the minis- tr sald that the suspension of hostilities would be deciared before the end of the week, and peace is certain.That is the Sounish view.Maurid, Aug.11.\u2014This afternoon I had a conversation with a politician and one of {ie best friends of

much importance to this class, which contributes a substantial sum toward Peter\u2019s Peace.The Vatican strongly opposes thg expulsion of the Trailes from the Philippines.Sagasta could give no

the United States.Washington, D.C., Aug.11.\u2014The interest in Government circles centred today in the press despatches from Madrid as the first news of the decision of the Spanish Government would be made public there, and there was no likelihood nf anything being known officially in Washington during the day as to Spain\u2019s decision respecting signafures to the peace protocol.After the

AT THE GUNS, \u2014_\u2014 Correspondent of a London Paper Has Words of Praise for Americans.aa .- London, August 12 \u2014The Daily Telegraph to-day contains a graphic descrip tion of the naval battle at Santiago from its special correspondent at Siboney, under date of July 4, in which the writer presents \u201csome considerations ghowing the terrible potency with which the United States ships and crews disposed of their enemy, the feebleness of the Spanish defense, and the lennons which other navies can draw from the results of the battle.\u201d The correspondent says: \u201cThe Spaniards, no doubt were hopelessly outmatched, but the damage, per- gonal and material, that they inflicted on their opponents was so small in proportion to tho.weapons at their command that I am convinced had the conditions been reversed, the American sailors would still have won, though, of course, at an immensely increased cost.Co \u201cThe battle also proves that it is useless, or worse than useless, because it gives a false security, to have modern ships and modern guns unless the men who are to work them are thoroughly trained in their use.In the Spanish Havy such a thing as target practice was rarely heard of, and the gunners were only indifferently and infrequently drilled.In ithe Amerfean' navy, on the other hand, target practice and\u2019 thorough drill were incessant.The result was that when the day of battle came the American gunners were able to give an exhibition of markmanship in sea gunnery that has never been equalled in the world, and which the sailors of no other navy, not excepting even the almost overtrained gun captains of the French navy, can hope to excel, or even to equal.raining and training alone, is the essential.European races are nearly all equally courageous, and all are equally well armed, but victory must rest with that military.organization which best prepares its men during the time of peace.\u201cSo far the lessons of the naval portion of the American war are: \u201cThat fast battleships are everything.\u201cHave big batteries on board.\u201cTeach the men to shoot well.\u201cAs for personnel the Anglo-Saxon can beat anything that floats.\u201cThe battleship is, and must be, the great arbiter in naval warfare.Protected or partly protected cruisers will be helpless except against their own class, and then victory will go to the ship that keeps up the most rapid and most accurate fire.The ship with the heaviest battery siands the best chance of success, other things being equal; and it is to be regretted that own naval authorities do not arm our our ships as heavily as some of our neighbors in proportion to their tonnage.We devote no doubt, increased space to coal and reserve ammunition; but, as Lord Charles Beresford says, \u201cIt\u2019s no use having tons of ammunition on board if you havent guns to shoot it quickly enough at your enemy whenever he appears.\u201d AN AWFUL CRIME, A New York Policeman, While in a Drunken Rage.Kills His Entire Family.New York, Aug.12.\u2014Policeman Henry C.Hawley, of the Tenderloin Station, while in a fit of drunken rage, shot his wife, his mother, Mary Hayley, his son, four years old, and his daughter, six years old.He then shot himself in the head.He was removed to Bellevue Hospital, where he died soon afterwards.\"Policeman Schottmeyer, of the Broadway Squad, was informed about noon by some workmen that they heard revolver shots irom the back room of a house on Sixth avenue, between 56th and 37th street.The policeman hastened to No.643, where he knew

Station, rushed up the stairs.\u2018I'he two policemen proceeded to the front door of the apartments and Hawley was again asked to open the door.Af that minute the men heard two shots, and bursting in the door a horrible spectacle met their eyes.Two children lay in the passage connecting the parlor with the next room, with btood onzing from ugly wounds in their heads, Hawley and his wife were found in the dining room.Both were stretched out on the floor, their bodies lying in pools of blood.The mother of Hawley, Mrs.Mary Hawley, was in the kitchen, unconscious from a wound in the neck.All were alive when ambulances were rummoned, but Hawley and the two children died shortly after reaching the hospital.Hawley was in uniform.The last words of Hawley\u2019s wife before becoming Hho clous were:

Salishury Finds Himself in.The Object of Russia in Securing Port Arthur Has Been Made Plain.St.Petersburg, Aug.12.\u2014Following in the footsteps of the Novosti, the Novoe Vremya eulogizes the Marquis of Salisbury for the wisdom with which he keeps in check the Russophobe outburst of members of his party, and the prudence with which he endeavors to obviate all pretext for a misunderstanding between Great Britain and Russia.The paper says that it observes that unfortunately more than half of the British public shares Mr.Chamberlain's views, but cannot understand why the Russo- rhobes are apprehensive of the Russians at Port Arthur.The Novoe Vremya then says: \u201cThe results of the cession to Russia of kort Arthur and Tai-lien-Wan will not show themselves for some time to come.A considerable period must elapse before these ports can serve the purpose for which they were intended by the Russian foreign policy, that of providing a permanent outlet in the Pacific Ocean.Quite otherwise is Russia\u2019s position in Indian frontier, where everything has been long organized for military action if some extreme excess of ill-will upon the part of Great Britain should drive Russia to such action.\u201d Vancouver, B.C., Aug.12.\u2014 There 1s speeding through the Rocky Mountains, as fast as the C.P.R.express will carry him, no less a person than Chevalier Luz- zotti, a high Italian official of the Corps Diplomatic, who has been in Peking working with the help of Sir Claude Macdonald, British ambassador to China, on ve- half of a PeKin syndicate and the Anglo- Indian Company, which obtained large concessions from the Chinese government.When Chevalier Luzzatti left Pekin, ail seemed fair for the interest he represented, but since then a storm cloud has arisen between Great Britain and Russia.\u2018The Chevalier only learned of the develon- ments which seem tending towards war between two great powers, when he arrived in Vancouver on the Empress ot Japan, and he caught the express that afternoon and will get to London as fast as steam can do the journey by land ind sea.The Pekin syndicate which Luzzatti rép- resents is backed by the Rothschilds, Hambros and the Marquis of Lorne.1t gecured the privileges of working coal, iron and petroleum mines in central and southern Shanghai, one of the richest mineral provinces in China.The Chevalier, speaking on the Empress, to the informant of the correspondent, said the coal wealth of the district was particularly promising.The granting of the concession to the Pekin syndicate has been followed by one to the Russo-Ch1- nese bank, which Chevalier Luzzatti savs is contrary to the conditions of his :0n- tract.He is considerably alarmed at the developments.A $10,000 SUIT.Trouble Over Stokers for Furnaces and P'ire Places, The American Stoker Company have taken out an action for $10,000 against the General Engineering Company of Ontario, Lirited.\u2019 Both companies are engaged in the business of manufacturing and \u2018selling mechanical stokers used in connection with furnaces and fireplaces in steam boilers, The plaintiffs complain of circulars issued by the General Engineering Company, and of threats made to prospective purchasers of stokers, and to the public generally, to the effect that the American stüker is an infringément of patents alleged to be owned by the Ontario company, and that all persons using the American stoker would make themselves liable to action for damages at the instance of the Ontario company.The American Stoker Company claim that their stoker is protected by Canadian patents; that it does not infringe the patents of the Ontario ©3iApany, and that the circulars and threats issued by the latter have prevented them making sales, and interfere™ With their büsiness, It is alleged that the threats made by the Ontario company were made for the purpose of intimidating the trade.\u2018An interim injunction may be applied for.Messrs.Facmaster &

statements:\u2014 \u201cWe have again come together from every part of the land where our jurisdiction extends, for the purpose of reviewing and revising the labors of the past, and maturing such measures for vhe future as shall best advance the intercst and honor of our organization.The pleasure I have in meeting with you upon this occasion is increased by the satisfaction and hope which the present condition and prospects of the order are so well calculated to create.During the past year, as citizens and Oddfcllows, we have been highly favored.Health, peace and plenty have abounded in our land; the dark cloud of pecuniary embarrassment which for a time depressed the energies of our people and retarded the progress of our order is fast passing away, and the future is full of brightness and promise.The country has been generally prosperous, the wheels of industry have moved regularly; bountiful returns have crowned the labors of the husbandman, and with the propitious condition of material affairs our order has fully sympathized, Notwithstanding the numerous organizations that have sprung up within a few years past our order has not suffered, but is stronger and better today than at any former period in its] history in our jurisdiction, or the world at large.As we.take up the work of the session let it be with hearts and minds aglow with the spirit of Oddfellowship, that we may legislate wisely and well, to the end that the interests of the order may be furthered, fraternal feelings gtrengthened, -and the influence of benevolence and charity be more widely felt in our jurisdiction.Let true friendship, the cardinal principles of our beloved order, prevail in all our deliberations, so we shall accomplish that whereunto we have been sent, and return to our several homes quickened for larger and better work in the year before us.It affords me great pleasure to be able to state that the progress of the order during this year has been, in every par: ticular, highly gratifying.The roll of membership, notwithstanding the losses by death and suspensions, has been highly increased.Our finances are in a sound and healthy condition, and we may congratulate ourselves that at mo period in the history of our order has the outlook for the future been more bright and promising.In his official address the Grand Master will make the following recommendations:\u2014 First\u2014That the committee on appeals should be appointed by the Grand Master, and to remain in office during the year to decide all cases of anneals.as this would take a great responsibility and work off the Grand Master.Second\u2014I would suggest that this grand body should have two days\u2019 session, as T consider that a great many representatives do not have the pleasure of taking part in the discussions or work that comes before them.The Grand Secretary.The Grand Secretary\u2019s report will sav: \u201cWith a gain of six new subordinate lodges and 265 members, it would appear that the Grand Lodge of Quebec is doing its share towands girdling the world with the principles of.Friendship, Love and Truth.Never before were our ranks larger or have our members done more efficient work, and never before have we made such rapid advancement.The grand success of the past year, instead of causing us to fold our arms in slumber, should insnire us for the future, so that next vear, like this, may be unyr®- cedented in our history.Summary of Work and Standing, June 30th, 1898.Number of Lodges last report .30 Error in last report .\u2026 \u2026.\u2026.1

Relief As- scciation: ) To the Grand Lodge of Quebec, 1.0.0.1: We, your Advisory Committee, beg leave to report having attended the annual session of the Oddfellows\u2019 Relief Association held in the City of Kingston on July 20.There were present a large attendance of members and representa tives from the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec.The printed reports showed \u2018hat the past year has been one of the most successful in the history of the associa tion.During the year $35,000 was carried to the reserve fund, which now amounts tc $140,000.The surplus of assets over liabilities is $151,226.43.Legislation was adopted re-classifying the risks ' in hazardous occupations, restricting residence in the tropics under certain conditions, and admitting the Re- bekahs to the benefits of the association.The directors were also empowered to seek such legislation as would enable them \u2018to extend their work to the border states.lt is gratifying to know that the largest percentage of increase in membership came from the jurisdiction of Quebec.The average age of new members is 31, and the average age of the total membership 18 37.The death rate for the year was 5 3-4 per 1,000.Bro.J.A.Robb was chairman of extension of the work.| M.A.Boyd, chairman mileage and per diem._ | T.J.Potter and D.J.Dickson, on Finance Committee.| C.J.Brown and H.L.Cohn, on Uin- stitution and

whole respectfully submitted.J.A.Finlayson, J, S.Walker, = M.J.Boyd._ The Grand Lodge of Quebec.The Grand Lodge of Quebec was instituted in 1878, and little progress was made for the first ten years, the order showing a gain of only 197 mempers in that time, making a total membership oi 808 in 1888.The following year, 1889, the onward march of the order in this province commenced when the energetic Grand Master J.J.Reed granted a dispensation to institute Wellington, Nelson and Equity lodges, the former of which reported 110 members within a month.Eighteen hundred and ninety-five stands as the banner year, Grand Master C.J.Brown having instituted six subordinate lodges with a gain in membership of 24], making the total membership 2,150.In this year three Rebekah lodges were also instituted in the jurisdiction.During 1896 two new lodges were instituted by Grand Master J.A.Robb, Knowlton, and Bedford, both of which promise well for the order.The grand master during the year offered a trophy for competition in the initiatory degree, open to all lodges in the jurisdiction.The event created great interest among the six lodges which entered teams.Wellington lodge, No.20, was adjudged the winner after a close contest, and received a beautiful banner.Eighteen hundred and ninety-seven, the Diamond Jubilee year of Her Most Gru- cious Majesty the Queen, added another new lodge to our list, and also brought out the popularity of the order among the fraternal societies of the day.The seventy-eighth anniversary was celebrated by a grand concert in Windsor Hall, the largest in Montreal, which was» unable to accommodate the large number that wished to attend, Over 1,500 were present, while many were turned away.Grand Master Joseph Wilson, Jr, presided, and Bro.W.H.Hoyle, P.G.M,, ot Ontario, was the orator of the evening.The event was the most successful ever held under the auspices of the order.Tha present year has equalled 1895 {the banner year) in the number of new subordinate lodges instituted, and excelled in the gain in membership, the net gain for the year being 263.and the total membership 2,771.Remedy for Burns and Scalds, Accidents are

Montreal and who desire lodging until they secure employment are charged a nominal fee of 40 cents a day.; .The usefulness of the society is sufficiently manifest to one who considers that since last April over 200 women immigrants have been assisted and placed in respectable homes, The society is known all over Canada, in Winnipeg and Vancouver as well as in Ontario and Quebec.Moreover the society is fraternally associated with several similar philanthropic institutions in the Cid Country which enable the society here to do much good.Latterly the managers have been contemplating an extension of the work to include Norwegian, Swedish and other Scandinavian immigrants.The home is open to all pationalities.Correspendence has taken place with the Minister of the Interior with a view of obtaining further assistance from the Government.At the present time the society receives a small bonus of $1.000 from the Dominion, and $500 from the provincial Government.The balance of the funds tion is raised by internal revenue, from board, fees, etc., and from private subscriptions and donations.The office-bearers of the society are as follows: \u2014DTresident, Mrs.Cox; first vice- president, Mrs.Gillespie; second vice-pres- ident, Mrs.Cramp; third vice-president, Mrs.Reuben Taylor; secretary-treasurer, Mrs.Vosburgh.Leiter Borrows $1.000,000.Chicago, August 12,\u2014Levi

interest of 4 per cent.Payments of $5,000 or more of the principal after one year on any interest day is granted by a special clause in the instrument.Newfoundland Politics, St.John\u2019s Nfld., August 12.\u2014A bitter controversy is raging here over a petition being circulated by friends of the governor, Sir Herbert Murray, praying the Imperial Ministry to permit him to withdraw his resignation and continue in the governorship.The petition is promoted by parties favorable to giving Newfoundland the status of a Crown colony, and it is supposed by politicians on both sides, who regard it as an insult to them, as the thin edge of a wedge working toward a revocation of the colony's charter The Government party is especially opposed to the movement regarding the petition as an unwarrantable interference.Warships Coming North.Halifax, N.S., August 12.\u2014The proba- ability of a speedy conclusion of pence has left some of the British ships in the West Indies free to join the flagship Renown at Halifax.Most of the North American squadron have been on duty near the scene of naval operations, but now that the war is practically over they are expected to come to Halifax.In addition to the Pearl and Talbot, now on their way to this port, it is stated that the torpedo boat destroyer Quail and several other warships will report to Admiral Fisher at this port

tion.material for serious considera- Twenty-two tons of bacon represent an amount of capital not to be despised in this country, and the arrival of the cargo in England in such a condition as will make it a dead loss cannot fail to have a, serious effect upon the bacon industry in Canada.When it fe said, that the British trade returns for July indicate an increase in the Canadian bacon trade of £230,000, or more than a million dollars, in the seven months of 1898, such a mishap must be looked upon as important.Canadian bacon Gan only sell in England when it is landed in such condition that it can compete in texture and flavor with the best in the market, and unless the Canadian producer can.be reasonably sure of having his goods land in such condition he can hardly be expected to increase his operations to the extent which it is generally believed the conditions in Canada will admit.The Milwaukee, it will be remembered, went aground in the Richelieu Rapids, near Quehec, and was greatly delayed in consequence.The Carlisle City, according to yesterday's despatches, struck bottom in the same vicinity, and is laid up at Quebec awaiting repairs.The sum of the matter seems to be, therefore, that there is at least one spot in the St.Lawrence where for some reason navigation in not absolutely safe.It is vital to the interests of Montreal and of the whole country that the whole course of the river from Montreal down should be made absolutely safe.Ship owners, who are primarily inter ested claim that there are two improve- should be made if the be The sys tem of pilotage, they claim, should be improved by being thrown open to free comments which risks are to lessened.petition and a better system of buoying should be adopted for the more dangerous places.Recommendations were made last year by Major Bond for the better luoying of the very channel where these accidents have taken place, and shipping men support Major Bond\u2019s suggestion.For some reason the advice then given was not found acceptable by the officers of the Marine Department, confidence in whose judgment must at least be impaired by the accidents which have oe- It is to be hoped that these accidents will have the effect of directing the attention of the Minister of Public Works and the Minister of Marine to the serious obstacle put in the way of the port and the Dominion by the present unsafe condition of the curred this summer.river, and that adequate measures will be taken.A RAM NAMHD DAN.Conservatives all over the country will be overjoyed to learn that the Opposition in Ontario has a new rallying ery and that, faithful to the best traditions of the party, no deviation has been made from the time- honored practice of keeping the live-stock of the province in the fore-front of the political fight.To the calf with a cough of blessed memory, and to the lone pig which blazons on the escutcheon of Mr.Qt.John, unhappily no longer in the House, there has succeeded a ram named Dan.This ram named Dan is to be made the subject of a searching investigation at the instance of Mr.Hodgins, the Cons-r- vative member of the Legislature from Mid- dlesex.Dan, it appears, was once the property of Mr.Hodgins, who sold him.Afterwards, Dan got into the Guelph Agricultural College, and Mr.Hodgins got in to the Legislature, and now Mr.Hodgins, being in a positien to demand the infor- * mation, proposes to find out how Dan oot into the College farm.The despatches are pot very clear on the subject, but we talke them to indicate that whoever bought Dan from Mr.Hodgins sold him to the farm at a profit, and Mr.Hodgins wants to find out how much that profit amounted to.He, himself, he asseverates, knew nothing about Dan being on the farm until, being there himself one day, he saw Dan and recognized him.Hence the demand for an investigation.The investigation will probably indicate whether Dan\u2019s former owner ig consumed with remorse at having the poor fellow come under the subjugation of the wicked Grits.May it be that he regards Dan as à mascot, and having got into the Legislature himself, hopes, by having Dan adopted by the party, to see his leader some day change over to the Government] benches?Time will tell.Afcantime the calf with a cough sinks far- A ther intq dhe depths of QR dlidiind John and the lone pig fade into yet more inglorious memory and the ram named Dan has the field and all the corners thereof to himself, \u2014 THH EXILES RETURN.Senor Carranza has come back to Mont- veal after having been requested by the Dominion Government to leave the country, and Senor du Bose announces his in- \u2018ention of coming back here to test his right to residence.There is something about these appearances which savors of an appeal to the courts, and as it is never safe to say that any claim is too ridiculous to admit of its being tested in this Way, perhaps comment may best be reserved until the case has been developed.Ii.as is not improbable, Senor Carranza has merely come here to secure passage for Europe, there is not much use in finding fault with him, although it would have been more in keeping with the demands of courtesy if, having been instructed to leave the country he did so with good grace and remained away until such time as an unreserved welcome might be given him.As it is his conduct compares very favorably with that of his colleague, for Senor Carranza attends to his own affairs in a quiet way and refuses to be interviewed.while Senor du Bosc threatens Mr.Chamberlain and Sir Wilfrid Laurier with pains and penalties, and excites nothing but a measure of good-humored amusement.Senor du Bosc may, if it so please him, and if the war is really over by that time, come back here and enforce his right of residence to his heart\u2019s content, paying the highest rates at bighest-priced hotels.But he cannot make the Canadian public believe that he and Senor Carranza were here studying the mysteries of golf, on their last visit, of that they were engaged in any other business than furthering the plans of the Spanish Governtnent if it had any plañs.All are ready to agree that in obeying orders and serving the cause of their native land they were doing their duty, and were consequently deserving of praise; but there were two parties concerned in the operation, one of which was the Dominion of Canada which, as part of the British Empire, did not propose to allow the laws of neutrality to be flagrantly violated.Nothing but harm, so far as we can see, can come of offensive proceedings being taken by or on behalf of the Spanish envoys.They can accomplish nothing beneficial to their own interests by running their heads against a stone wall.\u201cThe Hamilton

Excursion to Lake St.John.Quebec, Aug.11.\u2014A large farmers\u2019 excursion left for Roberval by the Lake St.John express train yesterday morning.The excursion numbered about three hundred, and was composed of representative farmers from all parts of the province, from -Gaspe to Pontiac.Among the number was a delegation of French- Canadians from the State of Maine, who, if they find the Lake St.John country what it has been reported to be, will move their families there, accompanied by almost the whole of the settlement where they now live, \u2018their intention being not only to cultivate land, but also to establish mills and other industries at Lake St.John.Today the whole party leave Roberval by special steamer for River Pribonica, where they will examine the land in that beautiful valley, said to be the finest in the distriet for purposes of settlement.The present excursion was organized by Mr.Rene Dupont, colonization agent of the Lake St.John Railway, who, with Mr.Carufel, of the Montreal Colonization Society, accompanied the party.Quebec Horseman Dead.Quebec, Aug.11.\u2014Mr.George Hough one of the best known horsemen an finest whips who ever drove in the

page 1.if you get the right connection.many telephone messages go wrong ?\u201d (this with some little heat.) \u201cWhat was the next suspicious circums- stance ?\u201d \u201cThat was the only suspicious circumstance.\u201d The Combination on the Calendar.Mr.Baines repeated that he and Durand had the safe combination, while Ponton and Green had that for the vault.\"The combination was noted in a sealed envelope deposited in the Merchants\u2019 Bank, only to be had on the joint signature of two officers of the Dominion Bank.Ponton\u2019s combination was not in writing, but 18 was written on the last leaf of his calendar.He did nov remember having written it, and would have sworn that he had not written it, but he discovered it.and it was in his writing.Mr.Northrup put a number of questions to prove that there were several clerks who would lawfully have a knowledge of the combinations.The witness went over the Juniors who have been in the bank for two years past, and stated that Jones, Barron, Ponton, Lowndesbor- ough, Green and Tucker would have lawfully the vault combination.The safe combination would be known only to Durand and himself, and remained the same in 1897 as in 1898.\u201cHow did you come to discover the combination written on the calendar ?\u2019 asked Mr.Northrup.\u201cT found it while I was looking for the moon\u2019s changes,\u201d replied the witness curtly.\u201cWhy were you looking at the moon\u2019s changes ?\u201d was the next question.Mr.Baines grew heated as he answered this question, and faced Mr.Northrup with uplifted finger.\u201cBecause some people at our house the night before were discussing the matter,\u201d he said, \u201cand I looked it up the next day to verify it.I was astonished to find the cémbination, and I took it and showed it to the detectives at the first opportunity.\u201d i \u201cDid not the detectives ask you about it?\u201d \u201cI tell you, the detectives never asked me about them.\u201d Ponton\u2019s Knowledge of Bonds.The witness did not think that Ponton need necessarily know anything about the bonds, as to whether they were in the safe or not, though there was a chance that he might know that there were no bonds there.Mr.Northrup also cross-examined as to Ponton\u2019s 1.0.U.and checks, with a view to bringing out that he did not place some money, which he 18 supposed to have had, to his credit and take the checks up against that, but paid the checks out of the money in his pocket, as it might have been applied to the redemption of his LOU.Mr.Baines said that of course he could have forced Ponton to take up the 1.0.U.with any money he deposited, but the teller knew he Was good-natured and there was no likelihood of his doing so.Of the money in the bank that day, there was more good money than for some days previously, but taking signed and unsigned notes together, there was less, as some thousands of dollars worth of tens had been signed and sent out within the preceding tortnight.The amount in Ponton\u2019s compartment was $18,110, and in the manager\u2019s $15,000, including the unsigned notes, and 3300 in signed notes which should have been included in Ponton\u2019s cash.After some further questioning on details, Mr.Baines was releasp4 by Ponton\u2019s counsel.Mr.Preston asked him a lot of questions on the subject of his old coins, and had him identify all he could over again.Found in Ponton\u2019s Room.Shortly before six o'clock Detective /iilkes was called and was examined by Mr.Usler simply as to what he found in Ponton\u2019s room.The Pinkerton man was cool as a cucumber, and gave his answers with great deliberation.He stated that he arrived here on Labor Day, some days after the affair, and then ensued the fol- lewing

\u201cFairly well, I should say, if this key was not a little smaller than the impression.\u201d - \u201cIXow does the impression compare with exhibit 87?\u201d (Baines\u2019 key.) pe \u201cI should say that that was quite a perfect impression.\u201d \u201cIs exhibit 6 a machine-made key or a hand-made key?\u201d \u201cIt was a hand-made key.\u201d \u201cHow do these two keys correspond one with the other?\u201d \u201cIhe brass key seems to be a little smaller than the regularly made key, but the notches in it would appear to corres pond to those in the machine-made key till you get to the shoulder, which is not part of the operating of the key.\u201d \u201cAnd you found that impression ?\u201d \u201cI found the impression on the right- hand side of the upper bureau drawer, under the paper linings in Mr.Ponton\u2019s bedroom, the third from the entrance.\u2019 \u201cDid you find anything else in your search?\u2019 1 \u201cNo.\u201d \u201cWas anything else found in your presence?\u201d \u201cYes.\u201d \u201cDid you see the checks found?\u201d \u201cI did not, personally, but Detective Dougherty found them in the pockets of Ponton\u2019s clothes that were hanging on one of the walls.\u201d Mr.Porter undertook the cross-examina- tion of the witness, spending much time ag to the examination he had made, as to the manner :n which the bank, vault, and safe were entered.The marks gn the doors, the exact condition of the compartments of the safe, and the state of the locks were enquired into, but the witness gave all his answers under a certain reservation.He had a note-book in which he had jotted dows the facts as he had found them at the time, and he wished to use this to refresh his memory, having been engaged in many other affairs since then.Mr.Porter would not consent to his referring to the book, and insisted on him exercising his memory.The cross- examination was still in progress when the court rose at half-past six, THE PINKERTON MAN Tells the

asked witness whether he had any explanation to give as to his evidence of yesterday.Detective Wilkes\u2014\" \u201cOh, yes, I was entirely at fault in my evidence of yesterday.From my notes I found that before my arrival the compartment doors had been put in perfect order by Mr.Young.\u201d Wilkes, in reply to Mr.Porter, sald that he believed the employees in the bank at the time were Manager Baines, W.H.Pontor, Wm.Durand and William Green, three \u201cWillies.\u201d This concluded the examination of the astute Pinkerton man.Detective Wilkes, before leaving | the stand, made the following statement : | \u201cYour Worship, there have been some assertions made in court as to a feeling of bitterness on the part of Detectives Dougherty and myself towards the prisoners.1 think it is only just to cum selves to state here publicly that we have never had any bitterness towsrds any of the prisoners and have not now.If we had any bitterness it would be due to the unprincipled methods, as we think, of lawyers engaged by the defence in making assertions in open court which had absolutely no foundation whatever.There is nobody in Canada or anywhere else that can state truthfully I have ever done or said anything fmproper.1 just desire to make that statement, and I think it due to me that I shonld be permitted to do so.\u201d Bank Inspector Bogert was sworn and stated that he had nothing to alter in his evidence of last year, which was put | in as evidence in this trial.The testimony of William Normile was also | taken as read.Mr.Osler intimated that at this stage the lawyers would like to know whethor Magistrate Daly intended to try the ease\u2019 or send it forward to the assizes.If'his Worship was taking this as a preliminary hearing the Crown would rest its cass then and there, and not call further evidence which it had as to the noises in Ponton\u2019s rooms, the movements of the prisoners, ete.This further evidence the Crown would have to produce if the case was to be tried now.Against this latter course Mr.Osler argued in the first place that the fact that while one prisoner elected to be tried summarily the others did not, would debar the police magistrate from trying the case.Another reason for treating this as a preliminary hearing and sending the prisoner on was that the Crown was still pursuing \u2018other lines of inquiry and conducting correspondence which might result in important evidence.Mr.Porter contended that his client had a constitutional right to elect, as he had done, for a summary trial, and that the magistrate must try the case.It would be unfair to his client, having elected to be tried at the opening of the hearing, for the magistra te to reserve his decision until this stage and then not try Ponton.The defence was entitled to know all the evidence the Crown had to put in before being called on to produce their witnesses.Mr.Porter told His Worship his contention was that there was no evidence on which to convict Ponton now, and there was no evidence on which he could then be committed for sequent trial.Bubseq Osler argued on the point of the magistrates decision that the present was the time.Magistrate Daly announce real College with honors, then studied philosophy and theology in the Grand Seminary; received tonsure and minor orders from Archbishop Fabre; completed his theological studies in Baltimore Seminary, Md., and received archdeaconship from Rt.Rev.Bishop Curtis in the Baltimore Cathedral, and the deaconship from the hand of Cardinal Gibbons.He was recalled by Rev.Bishop Goesbriand, of Burlington, Vermont, to be ordained priest, and work as missionary in New England, latterly at Richmond, Vermont, where he took sick.In September last an operation was performed.Interment will take place at Richmond, Vermont, on Tuesday next.Drawn Into a Thresher, Kingston, Aug.12.\u2014Special.)\u2014A fatal accident occurred near Westbrooke, in the township of Kingston.A young man, W.Baker, stepped on the feed board of a threshing machine, and was drawn _into it.On being taken from the cylinder it was found that he had sustained serious injuries.One leg was amputated, but his life could not be saved.He succumbvd to his injuries.\u201cSoapy\u201d Smith's End Was Near.If a report printed in the Skagway News \u201cbe true, there was, the Victoria Times suggests, a desperate method \u2018in the late \u201cSoapy\u2019\u201d Smith\u2019s madness which prompted his defiance of the citizens\u2019 meeting at which he met his death.The News says: \u201cWhile we have not been able to see it, nevertheless it is a fact that three days before Jeff Smith met bis death on the evening of the 8th inst.a paper was received here containing an account of the murder of a man named Kneady, which occurred in Colorado several years ago, and which implicated Smith.It seemed that Smith and a pal killed Kneady, and that the pal recently weakened and gave the secret away.Extradition papers were issued for Jeff Smith by the Governar of Colorado, and the news having been telegraphed ahead reached here in an Astoria, Oregon, pa- er before an officer could arrive, and just three days before Smith was shot.The paper was received by a well-known and responsible business men of this city, who, in the presence of another husiness man, equally responsible, handed it to Smith, calling attention to the article.Smith read it and turned deadly pale, his only remark being : \u201cIt is only one more of the many lies circulated about me.\u201d From that hour, it is said, \u201cSoapy\u201d Smith was a changed man, and it was doubtless the knowledge that he might soon be encompassed by the strong minions of the law that prompted him to attempt the strong play that resulted in his death.Realizing that his days of freedom were numbered, he risked all on a big bluff that failed to win.W.J.PALMER, Practical Watchmaker and Jeweller, 372 ST.ANTOINE STREET.Fine Watch Repairing the first his intention was not a the case if the whole of the ptison- ers did not elect to be tried by him.Mr.Osler, as being in the place of Crown was his counsel and le was, Le ave à statement as to his duty from such an able lawyer.Mr.Osler rould have to take the responsibility for his action, as he was going to take that gentleman\u2019s advice.It would be hardly right in view of the importance of the case, as well as because only one prisoner elected to be tried by him, and it might prejudice the Crown case for him to try it.It would be no economy to dispose of one prisoner there as the whole case would have to be gone over again in any event.His Worship Tiought Mr.Osler was merciful to the police magistrate, who got nothing extra for the seventeen days he had spent on the case.Tt was intimated to the defence by Mr.Daly after a short interval that he yas now prepared to receive evidence for the defence.Mr.Porter asked for time to read over the evidence and \u2018get his witnesses together.Mr.Osler\u2014\u201c\u2019Are you, going to give evidence?\u201d _ Mr.Porter\u2014\u201cAs at present advised, I am.Mr.Osler\u2014\u201cThen we will reserve argument till after that.\u201d After a long consultation between the lawyers it was agreed that on Tuesday at two o'clock.the defence will be ready to give evidence if they wish, and if not, the magistrate wil hear argument for and against committing the prisoners for trial.At half past ten the court adujourned until that hour.\u2014\u2014\u2014e After a 8ig Fortune, Hamilton, Ont.,

day he faced the Stars, it was evident that they couldn't pound the ball at the right time.They managed to gather twelve hits and yet only made four runs.It will be seen by the score that O\u2019Brien was whacking the ball for keeps, and he hammered out two doubles and a single.O\u2019Brien has not been batting up to his gait since he joined Montreal, and it looks as if he is now getting into hs
