After 1e «Midnight and Will Reach Quebec Quebec, Nov.12\u2014(Special.)\u2014Lord and Lady Aberdeen arrived in this city yesterday afternoon and were met by Mayor Parent and a guard of honor from the R.C.A.The distinguished party immediately drove to the citadel, where Lord Aberdeen dined with the officers last even:ng at nine o\u2019clock.Last evening Their Excellencies drove down to the City Hall, where Mayor Parent read an address on behalf of the citizens; Mr.W.C.Scott, president St.Andrew\u2019s Society, one from that society; Lady Casault, from Quebec branch national Women\u2019s Association, and Mr.F.Carbray, M.P.P.on behalf of : Irish societies.À very large number of citizens were present, and Their Excellencies he:d an informal reception immediately afterwards.This 1s an analysis of the Mayor's address, wiich covers five sheets of foolseap: On such an occasion, the first thouæht that naturaly presenis itself is the long line of illustrious statesmen and warriors .who

mutually encountered, and privations mutuaily shared,while in the more peaceful times of the English reg me, the thanks and esteem of the govern.d community were won by the manner in whieh the governors had discharged their duties and responsibilities.This will probably be the first thought that naturally arises, and: this will equally naturally lead to a reflection on the vast change that has come over the country since Champiain first returned to describe it, in 1609, yet amidst it all the past is inseparably linked with the present, and the C.P.R.,, which connects the two occaus,

Hughes succeeded in making considerable noise yesterday in reply to the Statement regarding tue $30u note the city Was asked to pay, as published in lhursday\u2019s Herald.Wiih a great tlare of head:ines it was announced in several of the papers last evening that warrants had been issued for the arrest of the managing director of The Heraid and The Herald's City Hall representative, and that they | would be served before nightfall.The headlines and the authorized statement of Chief Hughes were calculated to remove, if possibile, the impression left upon the public mind by The Herald's statement, but they lacked what should be the chief essential of a newspaper ar- ticle\u2014facts.The warrants were not issued, and in consequence, were not executed.But the evening papers that made much of Chief Hughes\u2019 loud threats realized that they had been made to play a part in his game of bluff.esterday morning the representatives of three evening papers saw Chief Hughes and he dictated to them a statement the effect of which was that warrants had been issued and would be executed at once.After he had authorized the publicat on of this statement, and the day passed without the warrants, there was a good eal of talk about the meaning of the de- ay.The Herald\u2019s exposure was the talk of the} city and of the City Hall all day ves- terday, and the interest deepened when it was rumored towards evening that arrests had been made on a charge of criminal libel.Before the Oouncil met the aldermen gathered in the cloak room and discussed the developments with an interest that has not been shown in any other municipal matter this year.Chief Hughes Makes Threats.At a quarter to five The Herald\u2019s City Hall representative, who had been threatened with arrest, went down to the Police Department to see about it.He found Chief Hughes in his office quite ready to talk about the warrants.\u201clL have been told, Chief,\u201d began The Herald man, \u201cthat you have sworn out a warrant for my arrest.If you have done so, will you kindly execute it before five o'clock, as my bondsmen are waiting to furnish bail?\u201d The Chief straightened himself up at the first word, plunged his hands deep into his pockets, and, putting on his sternest look, he said:\u2014 \u201cNo, 1 have not, and I don\u2019t intend to, but young man, 1 will teach you a lesson some dav.1 am going after the managers and editors of your paper, and L will find out who is responsible for all | the committee will make to council, full facts as already given in The Herald will be \u2018included in the report and the on Mr.Hughes\u2019 Behalf.the slanders you have published against me.\u201d When the reporter told him that he had called, not to discuss the merits of the case, but to ascertain .if the threatened warrants had been issued, Chief Hughes struck a characteristic attitude, and started to walk the floor.\u201cLook here, young man,\u201d he broke out, \u201clL am here in my official capacity as Chief of Police, and must set an example to others.But if 1 ever lay my hands on you when J am outside of my jurisdiction, I will teach you a lesson that you will not forget to your dying day.\u201d \u2018The reporter reminded him that this had nothing to do with the case in question, and said: \u2018if you have no warrant 1 have nothing more to say.\u201d \u201cYou can go to the devil, and tell them that I sent you there,\u201d was the chiel\u2019s parting shot.| The reportér retired from the chief\u2019s presence and returned to the council meeting which was in session upstairs.The Chief Has Paid the $300.One important fact in the history of this note transaction has now come to light.But before this is stated a slight inaccuracy in Thursday's statement should be explained.1t was stated that the members of the committee held the note given by Chief Hughes to Mr.Poirier.This was not exactly correct.The note was retained by Mr.Poirier but one of the members of the committee has a photograph of it and other members have copies.The discovery of the transaction was made in the Claims Committee over three weeks ago.Within a few days after the meeting at which Chief Hughes failed to explain why six horses were charged for when the department got only four, the note had been photographed.Things immediately began to get warm.What the thoughts of Chief Hughes were about this time we are not authorized to state, but on October 22nd he secured the note from Mr.Poirier by the payment of the $300.This, it is imnortant to remember was about a week after the Claims Committee had made the discovery and the attempt to secure the payment of the money had failed.Mr.Poirier has withdrawn his claim against the city for this $300, but this will not effect the report The photograph of the note will at the disposal of the council, cide to take action, as they will.be placed if they de- undoubtedly The Vice-Regal Household.| The Earl and

the residence of Mr.and Mrs.Robert Ranken, 3154 Magnolia Terrace, St.Louis, Mo., on Tuesday, when their daughter, Miss Annie, was married to Mr.R.8.Logan, assistant to Mr.Cherles M.Hays, general manager of the Grand Trunk Railway.The house was most beautifully decorated with forget- me-nots.Rev.Dr.John Logan Marquis, of Evansville, Ill., was the best man, and the bridesmaid was Miss Mary Ranken, sister of the bride, \u2018and little Norman and Neomi the twin nephew and miece of the groom, were the custodians of the wedding ring.The bride, who looked charming, was given away by her fatirer.After the cerz- mony, which was performed by the Rev.Dr.S.C.Palmer, of the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church, a brillia.Terention was held at the bride\u2019s home, and was attended by a large number of invited guests, many of whom were from a distance, Mr.and Mrs, Logan subsequently left on a bridal tour and will take up their through the European press.{ The Times says editorially, this morning: \u201cWe are gratified that the American press has not indulged in the misohievous task of reading into Lord Sailsbury\u2019s utterances i something disparaging to the United States.If the United States desires to establish themselves securely in the Philippines, it must be with British good will, since it is clear enough that they will not meet with much friendliness from the other nations of the \u2018old world.\u201d The Daily Chronicle says: \u2018\u2018Emperor Wil- Ham\u2019s visit to Spain is probably connected with Germany\u2019s ambition to secure the Caro- linas, seeing that she cannot get a coaling station in the Philippines; but there is not the remotest chance of war over the matter.The fact that the Britih lion and the \u20acmer- ican eagle will be on the same side is the best guarante of peace.\u201d The Standard, which expresses some sus- piclon as to the Kaiser's Intentions, says : \u201cPossibly Spain 48 mad enough to try to renew the war, but European peace will not be further disturbed.\u201d Berlin, Nov.12.\u2014The National Zeitung, Te- turning to the subject of Lord Salisbury\u2019s American allusions in the Guild Hall speech, says: \u201cIt may be assumed that England persistently aims at the acquisition of the Philippines or a portion of them.The American attitude toward this British ambition will afford a fairly accurate test of the strength of the Anglo-American friendship.\u201d CRITICISE REVISORS.Chambre de Commerce Asserts Its Right to Question Charter Committee\u2019s Procedure.| The following resolution was adopted by the Chambre de Commerce Council at its meeting yesterday: \u2018\u2018T'nis Chamber learns with satisfaction that the Charter Commitee at the City Hall is having prepared an estimate of the revenue which the city will receive in virtue of the chauges which will be effected by the new charter.This work, as well as the other information received by the committee, notably in regard to the taxation of workshops, factories and mills, such as practiced in other centres, should first have been submitted\u2014as this Chamber ad- vised\u2014to the revisors and to the public before the discussion on taxation commenced; and it is fortunate .that this method is to be at \u2018ast adonted, since it will enlighten the public and this Chamber on the trle situation, and is the only practical way of permitting the people to say how the raising of taxes may be effected.\u201cAnd in acting thus the Committee of the City Council, having practically placed itself in line with the views, very respectfully expressed and adopted by this Council and subsequently by the Chamber in general meeting, \u2018this 'Chamber, considering its end attained, ignores the inconsiderale attacks made upon it by the chairman of the Charter Committee, and declares that it will none the less continue what it believes to be the inspiration of duty in freely expressing its views on the mode of procedure of the revis- ors, every time that public interests are in question.\u201d , The chairman, Mr.D.Parizeau, announced the appointment of Mr.J.X.Perrault as cone of the Canadian commissioners to the Paris Exposition, and a mresclution of congratulation was adopted.It is suggested \u201csat the Counril should offer a banquet to Mr.Perrault on this occasion, which will be considered on Tuesday next.TURRET CHIEF HIGH AND DRY Quebec, Nov.11.\u2014The wrecking steamer Lord Stanley, with pumps and appliances, left this afterncon to assit the steamship Turret Chief, ashore at Bellechasse.The stranded vessel mast have gone ashore at high water, as she lies dry at low tide.She left here yesterday in ballast bound to Newport News for orders.WESTMEATH WILL SINK.The Allan Line steamship Montevidean, with the crew of the Westmeath on board, arrived at Quebec this forenoon.Captain \u2018l'almoton and his crew will come to Montreal today .He sent the following telegram from Quebec: \u2014 _ \u201cI'he Westmeath, abandoned off Newfoundland some days ago, broke the tail end of the shaft in the stern tube, the propeilor hanging by.She tried to tow, but the cable parted.The Monte- videan could not stay any longer, and abandoned the ship at midnight, the weather becoming very bad.The ship was then in latitude 53 degrees, longitude 47.39, and would sink early next day.Two Killed and Two Injured, Kamloops, B.C., Nov.12.\u2014A terribla accident took place Thursday night on the C.P.R., one mile east of Shuswap, by which two men lost their lives, and one was seriously injured.The dead are: I.Reid, brakeman, and James Little, eng- neer.John George, the fireman, was badly scalded.The boiler of the engine of a freight train exploded, and so great was the force that the engine was turned com | Pte around, the tender and two cars being wrecked.SOCIAL SEASON IN LONDON, The Royal Court Has Been Moved from Balmoral to Windsor Castle.\u2014 memes * THE CHRISTIAN ISCIENTISTS Some Hard Things Are Being Said About Them Since Harold Frederic Died.AN INTERVIEW WITH KIPLING.rl , London, Nov.12.The social ities Of the week centered in two big gares the Duke of Portiand\u2019s at Welbeck Abbey and the Duke of Newcastle\u2019s at his mansion in Clumber Park.Two splendid balls were given, the house parties of Welbeck Abbey and Clumber exchanging visits.The Duke of Portland\u2019s guests included the Duke and Duchess of Con- naught, Lord and Lady Curzon of Kedles- ton, Mr.A.J.Balfour and Lady Randolph Churchill, and Mr.Henry White, the United States Charge d\u2019Affaires.Prince of Wales\u2019 Party.The Prince of Wales has been giving a men\u2019s house party at Sandringham, and his birthday, on November 9, was celebrated very quietl, owing to the recent death of the Queen of Denmark.The Prince is now well enough to take part in the shooting, which is about to commence at Sandringham.He usually needs the aid of a stick in walking, and intends to pass the winter quietly, going abroad for Christmas, and remaining on the Continent until Easter, Court Moved to Windsor.The Queen has moved the court from Balmoral to Windsor, where she will reside for about five weeks, thence going to Osborne, Isle of Wight, Christian Scientists, The revelations made at the inquest over the remains of Harold Frederic, correspondent ot the New York Times, who died on October 19 at Henley, has aroused considerable feeling against Christian scientists.Canon Riton, preaching in Westminster Abbey, attracted attention to the matter by a vehement protest against\u2019 the growth of this and kindred sects.He is a fashionable preacher, and addresses a great social congregation, many of whom are well known to be Christian scientists, who number among their recruits Ladies Dunmore and Abin- ger.Canon Riton warmly denounced \u2018the greedy belief in quackery which is now prevalent, and he emphasized the fact that this spirit of credulity is growing up with the enormous expansion of education and mechanical and scientifie progress.\u201d He said: \u2014 \u201cBoston is the most cultured city of the most progressive nation in the world, vet parts of Boston are given up to mediums, wizards and astrologers.\u201d As an instance of this, he said: \u201cA party of women 1n Brston recently dressed themselves 'n white and sat up all night long waiting for the millenium; vet the United Stales is a practical country.\u201d Muscular Christianity.A curious instancé of muscular Chris- tianitv.arising out of a ribualistic controversy, has occurred in the parish church of Cleveden, Somersetshire, where the an%:- Ritualists threatened to interfere with the service.The vicar announced that in response to his suggestion he had received a gift of a set of the best brass Birmi.ig- ham \u201cknuckle-dusters,\u201d which, he added, he had distributed among the members of the choir and orchestra, enjoining them to use the \u2018\u201c\u2018knuckle-dusters\u201d freely, if any obstruction of the service was offered.The next Sunday, he added, that he himse:f had carried \u201cknuckle-dusters\u201d for tle past twenty years.Lord Curzon of Kedleston, the new Viceroy of India, .and Lady Curzon start fc!

Washington, Nov.12.\u2014 Extraordinary interest is being showm at this Capital in the deliberations of the Joint High Commission which were resumed here on Thursday.The most auspicious circumstances attended the assembling of the commissioners and all members of the tribunal have expressed formally oreinfor- mally renewed interest in the work in hand and a strengthened hope that the negotiations now being carried on will result in rautnal advantage to Canada and the Unut- ed States.The work has proceeded without delay resulting from the absence of Sir Wilfred Laurier, who was obliged to remain in Canada to receive Lord Minto, the new Governor-General of the Dominoin and Mr.T.Jefferson Coolidge, one of the American members.It iz expected that the regular programme will be followed daily until the work of the Commission is dome.This daily programme consists of a meeting of the Joint Commission every morning for two or three hours and a meeting of the sub-committees in the afternoon.Sub-Committees Work.*\u2019 The knotty problem of tariff arrange- Freinds of Peace, in Vienna, Mr.Clemens | gpoke in English, and the despatch says, \u201cThe speech was not interpreted to the assembly, because the Government representative doubted that all Mr.Clemens said would bear translation.\u201d That is a little vague.Were the translators doubtful of their ability to turn Mark\u2019s vernacular into German, or was it that our fellow- countyman was too frank in revealing his impressions?If he will send his speech home, readers will be found for it.Hglen Faucit\u2019s Death.Lady Theodore Martin, better known as Helen Faucit, actress, made last week a dignified exit from the world\u2019s stage.She was In many particulars a notable member of her profession, being a successful performer not only on the stage but off it, and winning high renown and rewards in her profession without the sacrifice of her personal happiness.She was born as long ago : night Chief ments and a reciprocity agrement 1s oc- | cupying the attention of a sub-committee : consiting of Messrs.Fairbanks, Dingley and Kasson for the Americans, and Cartwright and Charlton and Davies for the | ans.When one considers that \u2018the tariff matter is one which is likely to prove the greatest barrier to a speedy ratification of a treaty between the two countries it will be seen that the sub-commit- ! tee has before it a most difficult and delicate task.Canadian are too well acquainted with the conspicious fitness of their representatives on the sub-committee to require any comment on these men.The American commissionesrs are also signally well fitted for the work of framing a reciprocity agreement which will be acceptable to the \u2018people of the two countries.Senator Fairbanks has not only h#d special experience covering a long period of years in considering tariff questions but in addition to a valuable previous knowledge of the subject which his sub-committee has to consider ; he has had the benefit of occupying a seat in the Senate of the United States during the extraordinary session of Congress which debated and passed the Dingley tariff lav.Mr.Kasson is probably better fitted than any other man in the United States to gerve on a committee which has to devise a scheme of reciprocity between two countries.Not only is he an expert on all questions pertaining to tariff we'ghts and schedules, but he has made a special study of reciprocity for several years.lt was this fact which led President Me- Kinley almost at the beginning of his administration to appoint Mr.Kasson a special commmisisoner of the United States to negotiate trade treaties under the provisions of the Dingley act with foreign countries.Since he assumed this 0/ice he has proven, as never before, his fitness for such work and he has had the warmest commendation of the President for his efforts.Mr.Kasson\u2019s experience in Congress was a very valuable one and many vears ago he showed a scientific knowledge of tariff primiples such as few men have ever attained.The third member of the reciprocity subcommittee on the American side is Representative Dingley, of Maine.Mr.Dingley has become famous as the author of the protective tariff law with its strong reciprocity clause, which is at present in force in the United States.Years before he framed the tariff law which bears his name, Mr.Dingley had made a special study of matters connected with our exports and imports and he was well fitted to oceuny his important position as chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means in the House of Representatives during the 55th Congress.His knowledge of reciprocity treaties is shown by the fact that although some of the most expert authorities in the United States submitted drafts of reciprocity clauses for the tariff bili a year ago, Mr.D.wiley accepted none of them without radical modification according to his own views.It is probably fortunate for both Canada and the United States that Chairman Dingley of the Ways and Means Commit- vee 1s one of the leading members of the Joint High Commission\u2019s sub-committee on reciprocity.The United States Senate when called upon to ratify the treaty which is expected to be forthcoming as a result of the commissions deliberations .will have great respect for a reciprocity clause which has been endorsed by one of its own leading members and by the chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means.! Chances in The Senate.Speculation is already rife as to the chances that the Senate will rat\u2019fy a treaty between Canada and the United States.It must be remembered that very diverse interests are represented by the Senators \u2014interests which might suffer considerably or which might be improved materially by the terms of a treaty devised for the mu- | tual advantage of Canada and the United States.On the whole, however, it is probable that by the election of last Tuesday the chances of the forthcoming An- glo-American treaty being ratified by the Senate are maberially improved.Republican legislatures were elected in enough of the States to ensure the election of a majority of Republican members in the next United States Senate.If the expected treaty should not be ready for submission to the Senate before March next, it is probable that its chances of ratification would be greatly improved by the fact that the present Senate with ite slender majority of Republican Senators would then have gone out of existence.Of course the assumption that the next Senate would regard an Anglo-American treaty with more favor, is based on the belief that the Republicans are generally more favorable to such a convention then are the Democrats.In the first piace the present Joint High Commisison was appointed under a Renublican administration in the United States.With ona exception the American members of the Commission are Republicans, only Senator Faulkner being a Democrat.All in all it would not be a misfortune if te proposed treaty shou'd not come up for ratification before the Fourth of Marvel next.Especially is this true since there (is a strong likelihood that the vast amonat of legislation growing out of the recent Spanish war will necessitate an extraordi nary session of Congress next snrin~.Walter E.Clark.Basis of Agreement, Washington, D.C., Nov.12.\u2014 The tw» m°st important questions before the International Conference on which a bas of agrecm-nt has not yet been arrived a: are rec'procity and the Atlantic fisheries An earnest endeavor will be made during the next week to make substantial progress in the reciprocity necotiitions.Sir Wiul- frid Laurier and Lord Herschell will nos be in Washington till next Wednesday, and in the meantime the reciprocity subcommittee wi'l sit daïlv.While none of the commissioners on e\u2018ther side will admit that he sees «4 way out of the difficulties surrounding the question, there is a distinctly more hopefu\u2019 feeling than during the first few recirrocity talks at Quebec.The American commissioners are now thoroughly acquainted with the fact that the five million market is really worth more to the peop\u2019e of the United States than the seventy-five million mar ket is to the people of Canada.Another gra- tifving change is that, while in 18%9 and 1890 Britain in America was regarded as a menace to the United States, any one to-dav who would rise in the Senate of the Un'ted Stures and obiect to the improvement of trade relations on that ground would be regarded: as an amiabla lunatic, ITALIAN COUNTERFEITERS CAUGHT.\u2014\u2014 Complaints were made to the City Detective Department of late\u2019

Edward Russell, of the Liverpool Post, the gist of which was given in the Sun of October 31.Kipling is very chary about talking for publication, and it does not |seem quite clear whether he knew in

spread civilization, and make an empire in doing it.To the suggestion that it was reassuring to think that the rules of religion had weight in public affairs as wel: as in private life, the response was that \u2018\u2018religion has no influence on conduct.\u201d What was of consequence was that the Boers were in favor of everything benighted, and that Rhodes was in favor of everything

in the Sherbro district of Sierra Leone last May.The massacre of the missionaries referred to in the foregoing grew out of the dissatisfaction of the, natives with the local hut tax.A number of chiefs rebelled and the insurrection spread varough the Sherbro district, where the heaiguar- ters of the m'ssionaries of the United Brn- therhood of Christ were located.The insurgents burned the mission

ran into the New York and Philadelphia express, going east on the Wilkesbharre Mountain, at 3 o'clock this morning.Five trailnmen were killed and four seriously injured.No pasengers were seriously injured.The train going east, which was composed of an express car, combination baggage, day couch an® three sleepers, had the right of way on a single track, ; The Buffalo express, in charge of Engineer Kohling, had orders to stop on a siding on the mountain, and let the New York express pass.As Kohling approached the siding he discovered that the air brakes would not work.The train was moving about thirty miles an hour down a ninety-foot grade.The engineer whis- e knew the other train was about due.He reversed his engine and stuck to his post, but could not avert the collision.In less than a minute the express from the west, drawn by two heavy eugines, hove in sight.A terrible crash followed on a curve in a deep cut.Nearly all the passengers on both trains were asleep.Many of those were thrown out of their berths by the shock, hut none were severely injured.The engines and baggage and express cars were piled up in a heap in the cut.| The passengers rushed froin the cars and heard the cries of.the injured trainmen : in the dark.lt was almost impossible | to render any assistance.Flagmen went in haste to the nearest telegraph office and sert word to Wilkesbarre.À

Meredith.The petitioner was re- sperented by E.Bristol, of Toronto, and F.H.Thompson, of Mitchell, and the respondent by A.B.Aylesworth, Q.C., of Toronto, and C.A.Harding, of St.Mary\u2019s.Several charges were gone into, and while corrupt practice was shown, the judges agreed that agency had not been proven, The vote of Mr.Duncan Miller, who was Mr.Moscrips financial agent for the elcc- tion, was disallowed, as he had put in his account an item of $20 for caretaking of the committee rroms, which amount, however, he had not received.The case is still in progress.Thieves broke into

mayor\u2019s statement of his action regarding the scavenger service was the only feature of yesterday\u2019s council meeting.The dissatisfaction felt amongst the French members of Council at the Mayor\u2019s action in giving City Surveyor St.George a certain contfol over the expenditure of money for scavenging was expressed by Ald.Roy, Martineau and Brunet.The Mayor, after a number of petitions had been read in relation to the city scavenging, explained at some length the course which he had adopted.Having procured from the City Surveyor and Sanitary Engineer estimates of the probable cost of carying on the work, and having consulted the City Treasurer, he had given orders to Mr.Dore and Mr.St.George to continue the scavenging at as little expense as posisble until the first of January.The expenditure would, moreover, be under the sole control of the City Surveyor, but in regard to the Health Department he had adopted a somewhat d.f- ferent course.It was not, however, from any want of confidence in Mr.Dore.On the contrary, he had ordered Mr.Dore to proceed with the work and submit all accounts to Mr.St.George.He had to pursue that course, as he could not undertake the chec®ne of the accounts, a detailed statement of which would have to be presented to the Legislature.Tt was not the fault of the members nf the committee that they had been placed in the present awkward position, hut was due to the limited powers granted by the Tegislature to the council.The esti mated cost of doing the work was between $10,000 and £12,000, bnut thanks to Providence, who had cast a mantle of snow : Gen.Kitchener over the streets, it was likely that a much smaller sum would be required.He did not ask the council to pass any resolution, as he knew that the members could not legally assume any responsibil- Ald.Martineau could not understand why Mr.St.George was asked to check the acounts of ths scavenging service.If Mr.Dore was a competent officer he should not be placed beneath the head of another department.If he was not a competent officer he should be dismissed.Ald.Roy, Brunet and Tareau sp-ka along the same lines.The Mavor repeated the explanation given above and the matter dropped.On motion of Ald.Beausoliel, seconded by Ald.Paquette, a societv known as the Young Bar of Montreal was incorporated.A petition from Mr.Friedlander, financial and corresponding secretary of Montreal Typographical Union, No.176, asking the council to pass an ordinance authorizing the printers\u2019 union label on all city printing, such as hooks and pamphlets,

kingdom to be world-wide, and meant, too, that the doctrine which He taught and the salvation which He brought to earth should transform the whole body social and poli- tie, and not alone mere individuals or fragments of the same.ut, in passion\u2014a Christ-like passion\u2014 for social reform and the evangelization of the nations, there is risk of forgetting what He never forgot, that men cannot be regenerated in the mass, that they are born into the Kingdom of God one by one, and that each for himself must know and seek and serve God, if he is to attain likeness to God here or come to dwell in God's presence hereafter.It is a marked characteristic of the school of writers to which Andrew Mur ray, F.B.Mever, and Campbell Morgan belong that they never weary bringing their readers back to this fundamental position, The reiteration is as wholesome as it is necessary, for, after all, the crux of the question of social and national regeneration is the new life in the individual, It is an idle dream to expect to see the wide river bed filled with a rushing tide of waters, if the streamlets in the mountains are dry.The strategic point for all permanent conouest on the larger

partial payment before referred to was made to the Cuban Espanola brigade, the money was divided among the rank and file of Colonel Parro and his officers accepting a promise of the , future payment

have had quite recently to consider whether the question of a European war was not very near.But with great interest and consideration, the result has turned out happily through the great judg: ment and common senee displayed by France under circumstances of unusual difficulty.\u201d These appear strange words to fail from the lips of a British Prime Minister after what has transpired during the past few weeks.At the best they mean that another temporary expedient to preserve peace with France, probably to last till a Liberal Government assumes the reins of power, has been reached.At the worst they may be a cynical reflection upon an exceedingly strained situation, offered by way of contrast to the extraordinary\u2014we may almost say, unprecedented military preparations in progress on both eides ot the channel.As to the great judgment and common serfse displayed by France, peopic are not likely to forget that it was her fire-eating explorer, carrying the l'rench hand-grip across the Soudan to the Nile, that caused the trouble.It is no doubt true that while England was swept, through out the length and breadth of the°land by a stonm of rage and fury, the Fremch people were remarkably cool-headed and calm; but it is obvious from the telegrams of the last few days that the war spirit is just as rampant and that the warlike preparations are proceeding with as much energy in France as in England.A collision some day or other and that mot by any means remote, seems inevitable; and if the trouble is patched up now it will .probably ke revived at a time when circumstance are less favorable to England\u2014 in other words, when France may have a powerful ally that both can and will fight with her.That she shrinks from a contest with England singlehanded is apparent by her surrender, at the last moment, of the position she took up.France is not likely to give up her dazzling dreams of an empire in Africa to which we referred yesterday, and she will prosecute her purpose\u2014trampling x the rignts of others\u2014by methods whic are sure to provoke another storm.Some of those methods we dealt with in The Herald of yesterday.Let us now {look a little more closely at what led to the ap- poinitment of the Boundary Commission which framed the convention for the de- liritation of the hinterlands of the Niger basin.We saw France moving a la conquete on Tchad, moving to it from several bases.Twice did she declare war against Samory\u2014that powerful potentate whose name inspired terror in vast regions, far removed from the influence and forces of civilization.Sam- ory was driven first from one point and then another, and the tribes, under his sway were scattered.One defachment, about 1,000 strong, made its way to the hinterland of Sierra Leone and devasted the country like locusts.Col.Ellis was sent from the British headquarters to chastise them for their raids.The French were also on their track and this led to the regrettable incident at Waima, where, while the British force was encamped for the night, the commander of the French detachment attacked the camp believing it to be that of the Sofas.The British at once returned fire.Lieut, Maritz and nearly all his party were killed, while the British lost three officers.It was all a mistake and international complications were averted by mutual explanations ; but it was abundantly clear that the French lieutenant and his force were in British territory.This was the first of a series of collisions between the two powers, but it was the only one in which life was lost.It is not surprising that steps were taken to define the boundary of Sierra Leone in 1896 in something like an intelligible way by the appointment of the joint commission of officers.The French had still been forcing thefr conquests.Timbuctoo was oceupied and France was in possession of three important bases on the coast.Senagambia Grand Bassam end Dahomey, From each of these three her officers had heen pushing with the fiercest energy into the inter- lor\u2014aiming, as we showed yesterday, at the in.and junetion of all her possessions west of the Niger, the first step in the accomplishment of the grand ideal of an ompire extending from the borders of Lake Tchad.Expedition followed expedition until posts were cstablished on the water System of Lake Tchad.England was inert Her purpose was not ternitorial expansion, but she gave to her colonies of liagos and the Gold Coast a prosperity unknown in French possessions, her principal achievement being the foundation she laid of the export trade in rubber.It was only when France committed a series of flagrant acts of aggression that her suspicions were thoroughly aroused.When France marched mto Mossi it became evident that she had not merely ceased to accept the theony of hinterlands as constituted by the possessions on the west, but that she even ignored treaties.Kffective occupation was now the only test of sovereign rights.It was Latural tgat Great Britain should begin to make possession effectual by the presence of soldiers.An acute stage was soon reached in this struggle for the hinterlands.liad France contented herself with claiming merely the right to join her territories of Dahomey, the Ivory Coast end Senagambia, her claim would probably have been conceded.But on the top of her annexation of Mossi and the surrounding country, she put forward an entirely new pretension for an outlet on the Lower Niger.This raised a much more serious question connected with the hydro graphy of the great river.Both banks of the river up to the point where navigation from the sea ceases were held by the Niger Company, who were thus able to control the landing of arms and the like.France aimed at having a port on this stretch, at which she could ship direct her munitions of war and troops.Another element here comes into the question.This is Sokoto.As to the Niger Company\u2019s dealings with the Empire of Sokoto and its vassal states very little is known, for the eimple reason thet the company mmposes silence on all its officials as to its methods of administration.But this we know.In 1896 two of the outlying provinces of Sokoto\u2014 Nupe and lllorin\u2014which are on the west bank of the Niger, molested the company\u2019s agents, in spite of repeated warnings, and war was resolved upon.The brilliant and picturesque campaign that followed, which resulted in the capture of Bida, has been made known to the world by the graphic description of Lieut.Van- deleur.DBida was occupied, Nupe subdued, and lllorin reduced with little difficulty.But just as the company was in the midst of its successes the French marched down the right bank of the River Flo and occupied Boussa, where the Niger Company had kept an agent for years, apparently thinking \u2014 what other conclusion can be come to ?!\u2014that Englaud was not in earnest regarding her possessions in West Africa, The Franch established successive lines of outposts in territory which had been regarded as the company\u2019s sphere of in- Huence.They, as a matter of fact, covered enormous stretches with their network of outposts, and declared everywhere that they had the good will of the natives, ard that the country was theirs by virtue of effective occupation.England proved that the occupation was not effective by sending up troops to station themselves between the French pickets, and they obtained a similar amount of native support and good will.A crisis was inevitable.The news came on the top of this series of aggressions that the French were marching on So- koto.M.Hanotaux was called upon \u2018to explain, and he at once disavowed the advance to Sokoto.Other questions were referred to the boundary commission: Under the convention agreed to, England sacnificed Mossi, and the French secured the junction of their posts west of the Niger, but they evacuated Boussa and withdrew as far as 1llo.France was then cut off from the navigable Niger.But no sooner was this settled than she set to work again in another direction.She now put forward a claim to the eastern shore of Lake Tchad and the whole district round that great inland sea, thus erecting an effectual barrier to Knglish occupation between the eastern limits of Nigeria and British conquests on the Nile.lt may be remembered that the English possessions in Uganda have been pushed to the borders of the Congo Free State, and that Major Marchand reached Fashoda from the Congo.He would, had he been able to persist in his purpose, have established another French barrier between Britain\u2019s Uganda and leyptian bases.Such is the way France has done her empire building- in Africa.That she will continue the same policy in the same manner no one doubts.The .question maturally arises: How long can the inevitable collision be averted?\u201cTHE BITTER END.\u201d Col.Hughes, Superintendent of Police, spoke to the reporters yesterday about a pursuit to \u201cthe bitter end.\u201d Well, The Herald, we suppose, must resign itself to the revelations and judgment of the court room, if the chief so wills it.Meanwhile the \u201cnote or something else\u201d\u2014the chief did nat know what The Herald meant, according to the Gazette\u2019s report\u2014has been paid.Some time ago a man came to Montreal with an accusation against certain parties of having received from him the sum of ©2925 to get his son on the police force.I'he Herald alone printed the facts of the case and the account of the very singular trial which followed.The money was paid back and no more was heard of it.Now Lhe Herald alone gives publicity to the incident of the $300 account, the note is paid, and the chief\u2019s hope no doubt is that nothing more will be heard of it.The people, however, will judge for themselves whether the account ought to have been forwarded by the Superintendent of Police to the city for payment, and whether, heing before the city committee, it would not have been better for the chief to have put the matter right when it was on the point of being paid out of the city treasury.MR, FOSTER AND THH GREAT CHANGE.In the political dull season Mr.Foster has been engaged in attempting to solidify the Conservative party, his last venture being at Ottawa a few days ago.The local Conservatives had their own troubles in the last two elections, but it would appear that all the factions into which they ther divided have once more combined forces and went to listen to Mr.Foster's eloquence by way of a final welding process.The leader from New Brunswick read the members of the party a fine lesson in mutual toleration.Nothing could be \u2018more splendid, he reminded them, than a union of all classes of the community under the Conservative banners.And for their further comfort he assured them as a result of his own observations that a great change is coming over the minds of the people and that the star of the Liberals is on the wane.He had observed it in British Columbia, in the Maritime Provinces and it was most noticeable to him in Ontario.Mr.Foster has had a larger experience than any other Canadian statesman in the gentle art of proving the existence of non-existent quantities.In the course of his arduous labors during many years of hard times and financial deficits when he sought to convince people that everything was of the rosiest, he must have given rein to his imagination to an extent that now enables him to rise su perior to mere fact.Consequently it is not surprising that he sees in British Columbia a great revuision of feeling against the Liberals just at a time when the Turner Government makes way for one largely composed of Liberals.He experiences a great change in the political atmosphere in the Maritime Provinces, and who can blame him?Have not the New Brunswick Conservatives proclaimed him to be their leader and has not he counselled an attack on the government down there?It is true that Mr.Emmerson has declined to throw up his office at Mr.Foster's call, but that cannot be allowed to mitigate the satisfaction that gentleman feels over the great change.He is also very sure about Ontario, and the fact that Mr.Gibson in Fast Wellington and Mr.Dryden in South Ontario have been returned by substantial majorities, seems rather to increase than diminish his confidence in the progress of the Conservative cause.It must be very comfortable for a political leader to be able to take so optimistic & view under circumstances of such depressing character.What the Conservatives stand in need of, at present, 18 a little more buoyancy and hopefulness, and Mr.Foster talking in the style of his Ottawa address is just the man for the oc casion.There is a great change taking place all over the country indeed, but it is a change for the better in material conditions and an abandonment by thousands of people of the faith they once had that the Conservative leaders and all their ways and pomps were necessary to the safety and prosperity of the Dominion.n THAT BOARD OF HXPERTS, Suppose we decided to put the city\u2019s government entirely into the hands of three or four or five experts, where would we find them and who should decide upon their expertness, and how?We have \u201cexperts\u201d now at the City Hall\u2014Chief Hughes, Chief Benoit, Superintendent Laforest, Surveyor St.George, City Treasurer Robb, Attorneys Ethier and Archambault, Clerk David \u2014is it proposed to givé our affairs over to these gentlemen?Some of them know their duties and are besides men of judgment and probity.But we do not think our condition would be bettered ly their being put in control and made independent of the people\u2019s elected Tepresenta- tives.Would the members of the board of \u201cex- 'perts\u201d be chosen by reason of their technical knowledge, or by reason of a more cr less intimate knowledge of civic affairs and the possession of sound judgment and a desire to serve the city\u2019s best interest?And who is to judge whether they possess the necessary qualihcations, and who is to remove them if occasion should arise?Until the Witness and other advocates who theorize about a board of experts are prepared to tell us how they propose to have the board appointed and to whom it will be responsible for its conduot it is difficult to come to close grips with them.Meanwhile the board of control is a clearly-defined and perfectly practicable reform.It is not a scheme in the air.It proposes that the city shall be governed by permanent civie \u201cexperts\u201d and elected representatives upon precisely the same general lines as the governments at Quebec, Ottawa, Washington and Westminster work.The permanent heads of the various departments will furnish \u201cexpert\u201d knowledge and the controllers will direct the city\u2019s affairs in the way the citizens desire.| And if the citizens are determined to misdirect their affairs or allow them to be misdirected we know of no practical method of saving them from their folly.There is no political salvation under popular institutions except in the saving grace of reason.Beaurocracy is out of fashion in British countries.MR.LAFOREST'S LETTER.The Superintendent of the Water Department has at last allowed himself to discuss his departmental affairs.The allegations of incompetence, or worse, made against him by The Herald, he dismisses thins: \u201cA certain paper, in search of sensational items, in the hope of obtaining circulation, for some \u2018time past \u2018has published daily all kinds of stories, of which the most serious has been brought to the notice of the members of the Water Committee, and found to be as ridiculous as unfounded.\u201d This can only refer to the now famous Laforest-Fallon contract for the supply of horses to the city at a very heavy charge.The majority of the committee did indeed stand by the Superintendent, and did oot, as they very well might have, reprove him for binding the city by a secret contract.But they did take steps to put an end to that contract at the earliest pos sible moment.It is to be hoped those benevolent aldermen who let Mr.Laforest out of this scrape\u2014Ald.Jacques, Dupre, Preno- veau and Kinsella\u2014are pleased with the satisfaction he shows over their election.There are a lot more secret contracts which are going to cost the city a good deal of money before we are through with them, and Mr.Laforest must be rejoiced to know that he has a committee who are willing to shoulder the blame.For example, there is the contract with the Lachine Electric Company, by which Mr.atorest in March of this year, on his own responsibility, ordered lights to be placed in the wheel house, uhe shops and the reservoir, at a cost of $100 à year each.There they shine every night, and a few feet away ehine similar hghts provided by the Royal Electric Company.Another such contract put twelve telephones into the shops, where two would \u2018have been amp.e, and nobody knew anything about it until the other day, when the Merchants Tele; hone Company sent in a bill.And yet the man who makes these contracts and permits these extravagances finds enough complacency to write: \u201cI beg to inform you that, not being a journalist, and having to devote all my time to the good administration of my department, 1 find it impossible to enter into a controversy through the press on mat- vers simply pertaining to the administration of my department.\u201d What became of Mr.Laforest\u2019s devotion to the good administration of his department when the scandalous coal deal was going through Jast year ?Twenty thousand doilars of an unpaid coal account in one year, after ample funds had been provided to pay for the year\u2019s supply !

he is showing his devotion to the interests of his department when he gives orders to smash a number of vaiuable meters that could easily be repaired ?No wonder he falls back upon the plea that the is not a journalist, and has no time to talk about such things.But he has friends who, are journalists, friends whom he obliges by keeping their friends on the pay lists when there is no need of their services.Could he not apply to these if he finds need of making a defence ?4 Mr.Laforest continues: \u201cThe Water Committee, which controls the department\u2019s administration, have already \u2018held an investigation and asked numerous questions, all of which I answeu- ed to the satisfaction of the majority of that committee.\u2019 This is rich.It is of a piece with the superintendent\u2019s written declaration, that the contract with Mr.Fal- lon to rent horses to the city, which horses, according to Mr.F.X.Laliberte, belong to Mr.Laforest himself, on his own admission, ought to bring \u2018him great credit.Our readers have read Mr.Laforest\u2019s answers, and we believe it can safely be sand they satisfy nobody.For example, there was \u2018his catechis of Mr.Fallon, in which the latter gentleman expressed the opinion that the city owed Mr.Laforest $200, and said, further, tuat abcut $2,300 had been paid im by Mr.Laforest which was supposed to have gone to the City Treas urer.But the fact is the Treasurer had not received it.Then there is the incident of pumping out ex-a der.Costi- gan\u2019s quarries.The Herald gave the names of the men engaged and an approximation of the cost to the city.Yet the civy treasurer has received nothing for the service.1s this the kind of devotion to the \u201csimple administration of my department\u201d that keeps Mr.Laforest from denying a score of charges against him ?The Water Department just now is not nearly as busy as it was when Mr.Laforest was building aqueducts at Ste.Agathe and Lachute, and spending a large part of his time there.There is some comfort in the Superintendent\u2019s remark that \u201cbefore long, I trust, I will have the opportunity of proving publicly the fallacy of the malicious allegations brought against me.\u201d This ought to give to the members of the Water Committee and to the other aldermen sufficient em- couragement to warrant their going for ward with a rigid and complete investi gation of the affairs of the department for the past four years.NOTES AND COMMENTS, Mr.Laforest must have quite a case to present when it takes three law firms to handle itt.No wonder the Chief of Pclice was indignant against those who a few months ago insisted upon the publication of al overdue accounts.It will soon be time to call a mass meating and petition for a Royal Cominis- sion to investigate some by-paths of Montreal administration.Apropos of the City Hall exposures, it will be moticed that the Star is observing the oyster season and saying nothing, It did not even print Chief Hughes\u2019 remarks to the press.The note has been paid, but there has been no explanation of how a note signed by the Chief of Police for horses mot in his department came to be sent to the city for payment.There Seems to be an impression around the City Hall that information concerning irregularities in municipal administration ought mot to be published unless the persons implicated are willing.While the Mayor expresses to La Pate his horror of the idea that he should give advice to Mr.Laforest, the same paper makes the interesting announcement that Mr.Prefontaine\u2019s daw partner is acting for Mr.Laforest im some contemplated suits, The Real Bstate Record says: \u201cThe special meeting in the City Hall recently to discuss certain clauses of the new char | ter and more

circles in the first appearance in this city of the world renowned Liliputians who will come to the Acad.my of Music on Monday, November 14th.They will introduce themselves by means of a splendid spectacular play called \u201cThe Golden Horseshoe.\u201d \u2018This piece is in four aots and twelve tableaux, and has a well told and cleverly constructed plot, a series of exquisite ballets, fine scenery, most gorgeous costumes and much amusing fun, all of which is so deftly commingled that the spectators, both young and old, are constantly interested and highly amused.\u201cThe Golden Horseshoe\u201d gives to all the Lilputians excellent parts in which they can make the best use of their versatile talents, Mr.Adolf Zink and Mr.Franz Ebert, as Dick and Bob, are a couple of roguish imps who, instead of plying their trades, are on mischief and adventure bent.They meet a couple of variety actresses named Eulalie and Tootsie (Miss Bertha Jaegar and Miss Helene Lindner).om cm gly ian Of course the couples fall straightway in love with one another, especially the men, who have heard from their sweethearts that in Kolamazoo an eccentric old woman has left a will by which only a person of less than three feet shall become sole heir to her fortune.There is a hitdh, however, for there is a codicil in which the old lady makes it a condition that the heir must first find a golden horseshoe which she has hidden away somewhere in a swamp.The treasure is finally discovered by Tootsie\u2014an in- finitesmally small woman\u2014at the bottom of the sea, which she has reached by means of a submarine boat.The Liliputians will be seen at their best in \u201cThe Golden Horseshoe.\u201d Ebert is a bubbling humorist, as Adolf Zink is an instinctive comedian, and Selma Goerner an inherited soubrette.» » The most presumptuous undertaking which Mr.Phillips has yet interested himself in will be the production at the Thea- * CUFF | LINKS One of the favorite stvles of Cuff Links is

the story told ie intense from beginning to end.Its success at the Lyceum 'lheatre, New York, stamps it at once as one of the greatest plays of the modern stage.It will give excellent opportunities to the ladies to wear new and beautiful gowns, and will serve admirably to introduce to Montreal Mr.Kerdal Weston, the Francais\u2019 new leading man.A The most successful of all Finnigan series of stage stories is entitled \u2018\u2018Finm- gan\u2019s Ball,\u201d which will surely amuse and delight the patrons of the Theatre Royal next week, beginning Monday, November * » 14th.It has been entirely rewritten and brought up-to-date.The play is drawn upon an intelligent farce pattern with strong lines of humor, incident and specialties, to give it glowing charm, and the pretty dances and melodies h-re and there brighten and strengthen the picture, if one may put it so.All the scenery, mechanical effects and costumes will also be new.Tue management have always kept faith with the public, and in the present instance they will endeavor to justify the kindly feeling and liberal patronage which has always followed this very successful farce comedy.One of the latest and most pronounced comedy hits of the season is \u201cA Misfit Marriage,\u2019 which will be seen at the Queen\u2019s theatre all next week.The piece was written by Mr.H.A.DuSouchet, whose play, \u201cMy Friend from India,\u201d has probably made more money than any other farce in recent years, and whose \u201cThe Man from Mexico\u201d is being played by the widely known and popular comedian Willie Collier, with euch distinguished success.It will be presented under the direction of Messrs.Smyth and Rice, who have brought out nearly all of Mr.DuSouchet\u2019s plays, and who enjoy a well-established reputation for furnishing clean, bright and wholesome amusement.One or the most effective pieces of stage property that will be seen in Francis Wilson\u2019s performance of the # w opera, \u2018The Little Corporal,\u201d is the camel.It is a very ingenious and costly piece of mechanism, and the humor that may be derived from Wi'son\u2019s efforts to ride and conduct the mock beast across the sands of the Sahara desert, can readily be imagined.The stage equipment for \u201cThe Little Corporal\u201d was made on a very elaborate plan, and the wide diversity and character oi the scenes required the making of an immense amount of scenery, costumes and properties.For instance, the first act of the opera is laid in quiet, pastoral Brit tany\u2014sa a fishing village\u2014where the peasantry are seen in wooden shoes and bright colored costumes.Then comes a portion of Nancleon\u2019s army, with military pageantry.The second act shifts to a publig square in the City of Alexandria, Egypt, where are seen the French mingling with brilliantly-attired Orientals.Then comes the scene in the desert of Sahara, with the Pyramids in the distance, and numerous Bedouins and Mamelukes.I*he situations in the opera are so varied and come in such rarid succession that they are almost kaleidoscopic.The show is here all mext week at Her Majesty\u2019s Theatre.» BRITISH FLEET READY.London Army and Navy Gazette Say it May Face War With France Without Fear.London, Nov.11.\u2014Under the heading, \u201cAre We Ready?\u201d the London Army and Navy Gazette prints a leading editorial in a recent issue that is gipecially mgoifi- cant in view of Lord Sauisbury\u2019s speech and the French and British naval activity.\u201cTo judge from extermal appearances one would sappose that the War Office, although it has innumerable connections with the outlying quarters of the British Empire all over the world, was the most tranquil spot on the globe.But Lord Lans- downe is able, we are glad to see, to repair to his post, and a great deal of busr ness may be transacted, although the chiefs of departments are away.That is to say, they are not abroad, but they are taking advantage of this fine, open sporting and shooting weather to enjoy themselves in Various pleasant country quarters, and the inference that an observer of outward signs wculd draw from a survey ot the ouuside of Pall Mall would be that the people who are concerned there with the government of the forces of the Queen by land had mot: the smaliest fear of any urgent or unusual call upon their administrative abilities.So mote it be.\u201cThere are, indeed, people who say that if we are to have war with France this is the very moment for it, when her councils are distracted by mternal friction and when she has not yet deveioped the navv of the future with which M.Lockroy hopes to dominate in the Mediterranean, if not in the Channel.\u201cIt is diflicult to determine when the crucial moment to crush an enemy has plainly arrived, but it is certainly not ad: visable to force the advent of it in order to satisfy any civil or military theories.\u201cWithout reference to the immediate pressure of the Fashoda incident upon the government of Great Britain and what may presently be the government of France, it is quite clear that the duty of responsible statesmen and of departments concerned in the

naval base, affected him so powerfully that he is credited with proclaiming aloud his conviction that if war were declared between France and Great Britain the true policy for the British admirals in the Mediterranean was to clear out of it as fast as thev could, to take refuge, so to speak, under the guns of Gibraltar, there await reinforcements from England and to prepare for a navl campaign

assured, better provided with all that a fleet would need than it was at the time Iiord Charles Beresford beheld those terrible mountaina of coal, array of crews and equipments for the French fleet at Toulon.\u201cThere is no British admiral who, looking at the vessels available for service, would be at all uneasy at the prospect of a sudden war with France.In the Mediterranean and on other foreign stations our naval squadrons, if not immeasurably superior to any that might be matched with them, are at least strong enough to take the offensive with every hope of success.In the Channel, the force we could put afloat is surely ~ufficiently powerful to deter any French officer from making raids or dashes or experimental cruises along the south coast, up St.George\u2019s Channel, or into the German ocean.10° ARREST CARNEGIE.cet The Muiti-Millionaire Gets Himself Into Trouble, He Was Summoned to Appear in Court as a Juror, but Did Not Do So., New York, Nov.11.\u2014Justice Lawrence, in the

Canada\u2019s preforintial tariff is not working exactly \u2018to \u2018the satisfaction of its ingenious framers.The intention of this law was to encourage imports from Great Britain at the expense of imports from the United States, but it seems to operate pretty much the other way.During August last, the first month that the full 25 per cent.preferential rate took effect, the total value of principal articles exported to Canada from Great Britain was less than in August, 1896, betore any preferential rate was established; while the exports from the United States into Canada were 25 per cent.greater than in August two years ago.More significant still, the increase in exports from this country was, in many cases, in manufactured goods.It only illustrates anew that the flow of foreign trade is something Canada cannot control without seriously injuring her own people.Canadians will buy foreign goods and products where they can obtain them cheapest, and in production of many of such things the United States has an advantage more than equivalent to the 25 per cent.advantage in duties Canada gives British imports.This advantage will grow greater as the United States improves in industrial organization and better utilizes its matural resources.+ ® © 9 © © 9060000050 The Storm in the West.Toronto, Nov.11.\u2014The storm of wind, snow and sleet, which prevailed here last night, caused comparatively little trouble.Trains on the Grand Trunk main line are nearly all on time, except the Le- high Valley, which is four hours late, owing to delay across the border, and the service on other roads and suburban lines was not interrupted to any great extent.The sleet brought down some of the Trunk telephone connections and interrupted the service somewhat.\u2018The weather is clear ard mild to-day, and the snow is fast disappearing.HHHHOHHOHHHHHHHHOOHHOOHTHHOHHOOHHHHTHOO + What a Train of Ailments!

© In the west Captain Hobbe, of \u2019Varsity, last season was subjected to indignities at the hands of the O.R.F.U.clubs.\"I he amateur status of a \u201cVarsity player, El liott, was brought into question, a serious reflection on University athletics, and the nauseous tirade kept up by other clubs against Hamilton.Bitter feeling was engendered, and ait the time bruially characterized the exhibitions of O.R.1.U.clubs.Semi-professionalism undoubtedly did exist, and to disengage the club from objectionable associations there was but one alternative, and that was to resign from the O.R.F.U.Co At President Loudon\u2019s earnest solicitation the student athlete directorate encouraged the Inter-Collegiate Union idea.With AcGill and \u2019Varsity, Queen's University retired too.There always existed | an unseemly prejudice in local football circles against the Kingston collegians, and the big trips the Queen's filtcen were obliced to make, following the O.R.F.U.schedule, caused ther desertion of the Ontario football body for an allegiance to the college organization.; oo At the Inter-Coilegiate Union's initial annual meeting the \u2019Varsity, McGill and Queen\u2019s representatives firmly resolved to shun the Provincial Union clubs and endeavor to promote a heulthier spirit of competition and a higher amateur standard than had existed in football during previous years.Now the champion \u2019Var- ity fifteen want to play Ottawa City in he Cynadian championship triangular eries.President Loudon is said to have jet his foot down against it, and as Me- Jills faculty is protesting against the in- éulgence to \u2019Varsity permitting the team to play Ottawa, the prospects for a game between champion Varsity fifteen and Ottawa City are not reassuring.McGill contends that the Inter-Collegiate Union is an exclusive one, and the champions of it should not meet the champions «i any other union.To discuss this matter a meeting of the McGill club will be held on Saturday night.Lf the faculty permit the \"Varsity team to mcet the outside union champions then McGill will insist on being allowed to re-enter the team in the Quebec Union senior series.At least this has been suggested by some of the members of the club, and a very interesting time is looked for at the meeting.If Varsity plays Ottawa it will likely be the end of the Canadian Inter-Collegiate Rusby Football Union.When seen to-day Manager John Ink- ster, of Varsity, would not sav anything committal, Mr.Inkster is president of the Inter-C{legiate Union.An announces ment, he said, would be forthcoming by Saturday.Mr.R.Grant Fitzgibbon, see- retary of the Canadian Rugby Football Union, said the Inter-Collegiate Union was a member of the parent body, and, therefore, entitled to compete for the Dominion championship homors.Should they decide to forfeit their privilege, well and good.There is no use talking-any paper that is really up to date gets into trouble.Yesterday the managing director and City Hall reporter of The Herald were arrested for saying things about Chief Hughes, and then, to make matters worse, the Kingston Whig says this: \u201cI'he Montreal Herald says: \u2018The Granites\u2019 grounds, too, are not the best in the world, and the dressing rooms in the stand are abominable\u201d How fastidious! The grounds here are infinitely superior to Montreal's mud hole.The dressing rooms are as suitable, if not as fashionable, as the \u2018five o'clock tea party\u2019 team would desire.\u201d That is one of the best jokes the dear old Whig ever perpetrated.\u2018\u2018Montreal\u2019s mud hole\u201d\u2014think of that! And we have been fondly believing that.the thousands of visitors have been telling the truth during past vears when they said the M.A.A.A.grounds were without a peer in America as all-round athletic grounds.And us for dressing rooms\u2014well, Kingston's are wonders.But never mind, Kingston, you have a fine lot of sportsmen, even if you haven\u2019t got all the accommodations that the larger cities can enjoy.Was it not the Limestone City that recently sent out five football teams on one dav to do battle in other cities?That is a most creditable record.I might remark that those five teams and their opponents, ton, could easily be accommodated in the Montreal dressing rooms, and still not trespass on the rooms set apart for the tive o\u2019clock teas.OTTAWA\u2019S HARD AT WORK.Ottawa,

THE LIMIT.Boston, Mass., Nov.11.\u2014Ernest Roeber, champion Graeco-Roman wrestler of the world, went against a snag last night at the Palace Theatre in the verson of Pro- fearor Atlas, whom Roeber had met in I.is one tuing to MUX oT a &ea- .magnificent specimen of physical manhood, weighing perhans 210 pounds, and is a skillful wrestler.Under Whe conditions of the match Ioeber was to throw Atlas in filteen minutes or forfeit $30.The strong man took the defensive from the start and met every advance made by the champion very cleverly.The defence was so perfect that Roeber was all at sea as to how to get at Atlas.They worked this wad for several minutes, when Atlas secured a waist hold from which Roeber cou!d not free himself for nearly two minutes.When he did it was to assume the aggressive, and he strained every muscle to throw his opponent, but the latter was there to stay the limit, and he took advantage of every second.Aîter ten minutes had elapsed the audience, which packed the house from pit to dome, was in a frenzy of excitement, atid the brilliant work of the men was greeted with loud cheers.In the twelfth minute Roeber got a half-Nelson on Atlas and worked him over gradually, but the latter spn out of danger amid deafening applause.Roeber worked harder than ever, but he could not get \u2018his man down, and the limit expired with the men struggling.The excitement was beyond description and cheer after cheer greeted Atlas for his feat.Immediately after Referee B.D.Rhodes had announced his decision, Roe- ber turned challenger and offered to forfeit

S\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 What Yale Men Have Lost in Weight From Taking Part in Games.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A Very Interesting Study of the Direction of the Yale Gymnasium.New Haven, Nov.5\u2014Dr.William G.Anderson, director of the Ya gymnasium, has for a year been engages 1 a sCl\u20acil- tific study of the effects of various ath- {letic sports.He has conducted experi- | nents on sixty-four athletes, and the Iresuits throw light on many points disputed by medical and gymnastic authorities and by the opponents and advocates of athletics How much in weight and nerve force does it cost an athlete to take part in any event or game ?Dr.Anderson's carefully conducted experiments will answer this question pri marily and many others incident to at.He has completed his experiments with the track athletes of the university, and has begun upon the football eleven.He will take the oarsmen and baseball team next spring.Dr.Anderson said to-day, \"in speaking of his research : \u201cI feel too great care cannot be taken to \u2018accept only correct data in arriving at my results.All the figures I have accepted have been secured after personal obssrva- tion, and in no case has hearsay been sufficient to induce me to accept weights.Those of the track men were taken before and after competition at the annual field games.The following table shows the number experimented upon : Av.Loss, 100-yard dash .3 0.66 440-yard dash .9 0.88 1880-vard run .\u2026.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.10

intdrcollegiate competition that figure might have been reached.The figures show conclusively that the quarter mile is the most exhausting of the short runs, even more so than the half mile, and nearly as much as the mile.with the candidates in the bigh jump, the hammer throw, and the shot put, but the loss of weight amounted to almost nothing.At the games the weather conditions were not conducive to extreme exertion.The day was cold, the track heavy and the attendance small.The spirit of competition was mild.Tt was noticeable that the new men lost more than the old.The veterans were calm, almost indifferent.This fact goes to prove that worry in athletic competition may be responsible for the loss of more weight than the \u2018actual physical exertion.At these games R.G.Clapp broke the American record in pole vaulting, yet his loss in weight during the event was only half a pound.His new record was made after repeated efforts.\u201d Dr.Anderson has prepared a table, compiled from the figures taken at the field games, in which the greatest variation in the loss of weight is shown.It follows :\u2014 Greatest Loss, Quarter mile .sue causes nca sc ee + Half mile .\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.de csa secs ne % Mile erie 1 Mile walk 0.0.sone000 a Least Loss, Quarter mile .terererieennna 21 Half mile .Cetera, 1 Mile iii iii irene 34 Mile walk Lessons san naneu se 2 From this table it will be seen that the most expensive event, physically, in the intercollegiate track list is the one-mile run and then the one-mile walk.The table is likely to throw cold water on the efforts of several colleges which are trying to have the one-mile walk thrown out of the annual competition as too exhausting.These colleges propose to introduce tie two-mile run instead.As Dr.Anderson's table shows that the one-mile run is more exhausting than the one- mile walk, and as the two-mile run would probably be still more exhausting, the arguments of the reformers are shown to be worthless, The greatest instance at Yale of loss of weight during competition, or rather gain of weight because of absence of competition, is recorded in the case of George L.Cadwalader, the football centre rush.(Cadwalader was very heavy, and Trainer Keene Fitzpatrick used special means to keep down his weight.One Saturday afternoon after the close of the weekly practice Cadwalader weighed in at 28 pounds.He rested Sunday, and on Monday afternoon reported again for practice.He then tipped the scales at 249 pounds, his two days\u2019 rest having meant fourteen pounds to him.Bob Cook, the Yale crew coach, is authority for the statement that, during the hard practice at New London, candidates have been known to drop ten to twelve pounds a ay.hanpens when the candidate is a substitute whom, because of some emergency, it is necessarv to work up for \u2018varsity use.The Yale oarsmen will be weighed next vear just before and after the race with Harvard.No figures are vet available from the baseball candidates.From unofficial statistics it is believed that their loss of weight is one or two pounds in a game, except in the Harvard and Princeton contests, when the excitement causes a loss of about five pounds, The same careful! experiments were made ° | From experiments made of the weight tof athletes practising in the gymnasium it pounds daily.Dr.Anderson\u2019s experiments have special interest because it is understood that DPrc \u2014\u2014 °° 9 \u2014\u2014 © ® © \u20ac © Miss Cochrane and Miss Parker, of Compton.are the guests of

Western packers are reported sold out, and for wholesale lots of tomatoes and corn 85c to 90c is asked between houses.Favorable reports are heard from local boot and shoe manufacturers regarding spring orders, and Quebec makers are aiso said tA be better employed.In leather, while business cannot be called active, there is more engiry evident, and some good sized orders for ecle and dongolas have been placed.The demand for hides is quite equal to the present receipts, and values are steady at the figures for some time prevailing.Busi ness in cements is quieting down with the Approach of Frost.Receipts this week were pretty large, some 15,000 bibs., but a good proportion of this was to fill old orders.Money continues plentiful, and the call rate is easy at 4 1-2.Owing to the abandonment at sea of the largest freighter coming to this port, the Westmeath, with large supplies of glass for this market, which can only be replaced at enhanced cost, prices were again advanced Thursday 10c¢ per fifty feet.The Trade Bulletin also speaks well of trade and says: \u201cWithout any actual increase in the volume of new business during the past week, the wholesale trade has appeared more active than it really was, as there has been a great rush in shipping goods before the high winter freight rates come into force on the 15th inst, (next Tuesday).Appearances have, therefore, been somewhat deceptive to many who regarded the extra stir in the shipments of merchandise to all parts of the country, as a revival of new business, whercas it has been chiefly the execution of former orders té avoid the higher freight rates that will come into force in a few days.Making full allowance for this, however, the business of the past week has shown a Fair Average Volume.and most departments of \u2018the wholesale trade report a very healthy state of affairs twith brighter prospects than for a number of years past.The principal of 21 sarge boot and shoe manufacturing concern stat- § ed a few days ago \u2018that he finds from the weports of his travellers 910w on the road that traders in general have unbounded confiden-e in the future, as farmers have large quantities of grin which promise to roalize remunerative prices, besides an abundance of other products, and if remittances are a little slow at times they are safe.It is well known that many farmers, although they receive cash for vheir products, take as long credit as they can ossibly squeeze out of the country store- eepers.\u201d\u201d J The Crop Outlook.There is no doubt that the wheat erop in Manitoba has rounded up a good deal better than was at first expected.Wueat in the States is also looking better, but corn on the other hand is not looking well @t all.Prime, the crop authority, in speak- | irg of the situation, says: \u201cI do not know | of a single state to-day in the entire length and width of the corn belt where the crop ASTHMA CURED \u2014and Perinenently, The Dark Con- .tinent yields from its jungles the Weoenderiul Kola Plant.Nature's Remedy.Medical science has, by the discovery of this wonderful botanical product put a per- tranent cure within the reach of all humanity : for this most distressing and Lberetofore in- ; curable affliction, and to-day it is being uni- ! versally tested the world over and proving the welcome balm.Clarke\u2019s Kola Compound has proved the unfailing formula and testimony is written every day of the cures it is \u2018 accomplishing in cases that were considered | hopeless.R.D.Pitt, of Kamloops, B.C.suffered for 35 years from the great oppres- diveness of asthma.All the consolation he could get from the most skilled physicians was that he could be only temporarily relieved, he would always be troubled.He took one bottle of Clarke\u2019s Kola Compound and Bot great relief.Three bottles cured him, and, to use his own words, \u201chaving suffered as I have for years, I can appreciate what | à blessing this great remedy must prove to sufferers from asthma.\u201d All druggists sell ft.Two dollars per bottle;

of the Snowstorm.Sup is coming up to expectations either in quantity or quality.We have not had frost yet severe encugh to dry out the corn and make at fit to cb.It will take at least thirty days cf good weather to put corn in condition to keep.Corn this season must be very carefully assorted.I look for no new corn in the market until early in January, if then.The stock: of old corn have been rcduced very materal- ly during October and November.Cattle and hogs are now on full feed.I du not believe the consumption of corn in this country was ever as great in its hiscory as | it is to-day.I think it will be found that before another crop of corn comes upon the market that we shall have reduced ail our reserves to a wonderfully low point.The winter wheat crop shows mo signs of having come to its growth for 1898.The crop everywhere is still stroug, healthy and vigorous.The acreage has heen increased in nearly every state in the winter wheat belt, and should no disaster happen to the crop, and while it may be a Letle early yet to forecast coming crops, everything pornts to the finest \u2018prospects the winter wiheat has experienced in many a season.\u201d The Apple Trade.1t is estimated that there are fullv 250,- 000 barrels of apples stored in Canada that will go forward to the British and Continental n:arkets.The shipments from Atlantic ports last week were 99,840 barrels, of which 54,153 barrels were shipped from Montreal.The exports for the sea- sen up to the close of last week were 510,- 070 barrels, as compared with 347,124 bar- vels for the corresponding period year, and !.347,060 barrels for the same time in 1890.Recent sales in Liverpool have resulted in nets that are very satisfactory and some very unsatisfactory; for » \u201c «> instance, cables of sles have been received showing nets in the west at $2, $2.10, $2.25, $2.35, $2.50 and $2.75 per barrel, while other returns make a very poor showing, namely, nets of $1.00, $1.25, $1.10, $1, C3¢, &le, 50c and 45¢ per barrel.In this market there have been sales of car lots of straight greenings at $2.75, and three cars of pretty fair winter stock brought 82.50.Good to choice cars of winter varieties have realized $2.5) to 83, and ordinary cars from 81.90 to $2.23.I'he sale is reported of a choice lot of nearly 2,000 barrels of fine winter varieties, mostly red fruit, at $2.50 f.o.b., at a point northwest of Toronto.\u2014Trade Bul- ; letin.Small Corn Yield.The final returns to a leading authority on the estimated yield of corn by counties make the product of the year somewhat smaller than the average of a recent series of years.The average rate of yield is reported at 23.2 bushels to the acre, which with the area devoted to \u2018he crop, makes a total production of 1,%63,- 000,000 bushels.Last vear the average rate of yield was 22 bushels, and the corn crop from a slightly larger acreage yielded 1,822,000,000 bushels.The report places lowa again in the lead, with 252,000,300 bushels, followed by Illinois, with 204,000,- | 000 bushels; Missouri, 179,000,000 bushels, | and Nebraska, 138,000,000 bushels.This estimate of the American Agriculturist does not in any way undertake to discount the loss of quantity, but more especially of quality, which has recently occurred in every portion of the corn belt by reason 6f the continued prevalence of storms and wet weather.The loss is said to be by far the greatest that has occurred from this cause in any year of the past two decades.The question of quality has a large bearing upon \u2018he question of supplies, as it necessitates extravagant and mopid feeding of a con- siderab'e portion of the crop.There is no falling off in the export movement from Montreal to Europe, although from now on the number of steamers going out will be smaller.The shipments for the week ending Nov.10 are as follows: Floun, 29.359 sacks; corn, 83,917 bushels; wheat, 272,297 bushels; peas, 50,- 458 bushels; oatmeal, 1,325 sacks; beans, 587 sacks; seed, 52 Packs; oats, 57,564 bushels; Trye, 16,617 bushels; flax seed, rice flour, 300 sacks;

The country has safely passed the trial of \u201coff year\u201d elections, which for forty years have always shown a tendency to a change of policy, but this year has en- trench-d sound mcney, behind a majority impregnable for at least four years in the Senate and has retained a working ma, or- ity for sound money in the House, for though some members classed as fepubli- cans are for silver, as many classed as Democrats are for the gold standard.Other business conditions are not 4s favorabla and with labor questions causing no general trouble, with no anxiety about money and with heavy crops, met by large foreign demamd, there is every reason now to lock for improvement.No doubt the, result of the elections will also facilitate the settlement of pending questions with Spain.; Before this election everything except political uncertainties favored business enlargement.The volume of trade has beon the greatest ever known in October, and the greatest ever known in any month, excapt December, 182.The record on November thus far shows clearings 10.4 per : cent.larger than last vear and 3.3 per cent.larser than in 1892.The railroad earninzs in October have been 5.2 per cent.larger \u2018than last year and 8 per cent.larger than in 1892.Foreign trade shows an increase nf 20 par cont in Octaber in exports, with 26 per cent.in exports from New York last weck, while immorts showed a am of only 22 per cent.In October and credits against forsion bankers were piling up at gn incomvemient rate.There Was and is absolutely no anxiety about the enrreney, and the treasury is only too girone.When enormous exvorts of products are considered it seems quite impossible for the country to meot with serious mone- tarv trouble, especially in view of past surplus in favor of this country.Failures for the first week of November were $1,646,525 in amount, against $3,- last : THE HERALD, MONTREAL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1898 \" 009,637 last year, of which $247,314 were manufacturing, against $1,408,050 last year;

the limitations of a newspaper article it vrould hardly be possible to go over all the factories, big and s:r:all, in Montreal and vicinity, but reports from.some of the leading firms and companies in different - ines show that manufacturers are thriving and that the business might alinost be de- seribed as \u201cbooming.\u201d The cotton companies, with their great capital, are probably better situated than oshers to meet the changed conditions, \u2018that is to gay, to make up for a decrease of profits on a small production by multi- .plving these smaller profits with a large production.The specific duty on oilcloth was removed at the last tariff revision, and This made a material reduction in the amount of protection, but the Dominion Oileloth Company promptly set to work to meet the new conditions.A serious factor in the cost of production is the amount of labor required to stamp or print patterns on the dloth in the ordinary method, that is, by hand.The company found that a printing machine had just been perfected to do this work, and immediately bought one.A pretty good barometer as to the con- [dition of manufacturing is the business | done by machine and engine works.The Laurie Engine Company report that for the past six months its business exceeded the corresponding period of the previous year by 50 per cent.It now employed 200 men, a9 compared with 150 three years ago, and is working a night as well as a day gang.The Canada Paper Company has doubled its capacity in the last two years.To the Springvale and Windsor mills it has just addéd the St.Francis, a magnificent new miil, capable of making 25 tons daily, and costing about $250,000.The company |now employs about 300hands, am increase lof about 100 in the past two years.| There is not much change in the flour milling business.The output and the number of employes are about the same.Mr.Robert Meighen, president of the Lake of the Woods Milling Company, says that there have been considerable additions to the milling capacity of Manitoba.Mr.W.W.Ogilvie has erected on the city mill property, part of the Gould estate, a new 2.000,000 bushel elevator, and intends to rebuild the Gould mill, The Canadian Rubber Company reports that there is a material inerease to its business, and that the volume is satisfactory.Competition, however, is very keen, owing to the numercus rubber factories in Canada, and profits are not as satis factorily as they were in former veans.The Canada Paint Company, Limited, has increased its business about 20 per cent.as compared with two years ago.There are now about 120 employes, which is an increase of mine or ten as compared with the corresponding time last vear, causing also am increase of about $100 per week in wages.The Montreal Rolling Mills Company also show progress during the last two vears.The company has made considerable additions to its plant, the capacity | of wire mill and wire nail machinery having been increased bv at least ome-third.,Of course, the year 1896 was a dull year In expectation of tariff changes, and the output was smaller than in 1895, but making allowance for this, the output in 1997 was, relatively, larger than in 1896, and the production of 1898 will exceed the previous years.In comparison with 1898 the value of the product will be about , 25 per cent.less, that is to say, that owing | to the changes in the tariff and the great competition that exists now in the manu- [facture of iron and steel, the consumer 18 getting the goods produced by this com- :pany on the average very nearly one-quar- ter less than was paid a couple of vears ago.At the same time the output of the mill has increased, and the number of emploves have increased from 550 in 18%6 to ahout G0ON this vear.The pay (roll, however, has increased in a greater proportion.The scale of wages has remained the same, but the men are paid \u2018strictly by piece-work in the rolling mills and ag the output of the mills has in.ceased the total \u2018Ç larger.wages paid will be ee BUG FOR FORTY YEARS For Money Which Had Been Investe in Montreal Real Estate.Dolliver Buried Thousands in the State of Maine Before Dying, and It Was Stolen.More than forty years ago old Jim Dol- liver, a rich owner of timber land and mills, buried 42,000 in gold somewhere between The Forks and Murnhy\u2019s, in Northern Maine.He had come from Momttreal atonz the old French voyageurs\u2019 trail, and.reaching The Forks, had told the landlord of the hotel that he had ben followed\u2019 by a party of French and Indian outlaws all the way from the St.Lawrence River.\u201cIL have nearly five score hundred vel- low sovereigns in my batteau,\u201d said he, \u2018and if 1 don\u2019t bury my mc .cy now tha crazy devils will rob me before I get to Vv aterville.\u201d He left the hotel at 10 o'clock that night, and was away three days.On his return he remarked to the landlord: \u201cWell, I've put that monev where the Archangel!

4 OF TEST CNST om 2365.57 CAT: mai ASE FPE OAT REAL treasures in his delirium, and died in the act of shooting a Mohawk chief, who had invaded his sick fancy for the purpose of robbing him.Papers found among his effects showed that he had drawn £8,500 in English gold from a Montreal bank a month before hs arrived at The Forks, and as this sum did not appear in the inventory of \u2018his estate, it was believed generally that the money was buried within a day's journey of this postoffice.For a dozen years after Dolliver\u2019s death his heirs advertised for the missing wealth, and increased.the reward until the finder was entitled to 75 per cert.of all he should discover.Hawuing spent nearly $3,000 in advertising, the heirs gave it up as a bad job, after which the people who knew the story continued the work at their own expense.For, twenty years the digging went on at all seasons.Whenever a man or a boy ran short of money and had nothing else to do he shouldered a pick and shovel, and, taking a week\u2019s supply of food on his back, went into the woods between Murphy\u2019s and The Forks and went to digging.Some located the treasure dn dreams, others made deep excavations in mellow hillsides, where the labors were light, and very many hired expert diviners with apple limbs and witch hazel rods to help them along on the road to wealth.In October, 1880, Saunders Atwood came here from Winterport and brought an elertric battery with him, which he said could detect an English farthing under four \u201cfathoms\u201d of solid earth.When he went away two weeks later he showed a handful of nglish sovereigns all stamp- | ed with dates thirty or more years ago, '% and said that he had unearthed the whole of the missing wealth.But while the people accepted his theory that the proper time to dig was on the dark of an October moon, they repudiated the story that he had found any of the missing coin.; \u2018this fall, when the muscles of the, farmers thad grown hard from digging: potatoes, about forty men packed up a\u2018 | few tools and made ready to start on ; another \u2018search for Dolliver\u2019s money as soon as the old moon should change.They were loating about the hotels and | stores one night when word came from , Montreal that Eugene Beaupre, an aged | and rich Frenchman of that city, had | lately died, confessing on him deathbed : that he had seen Dolliver conceal the gold: | fl in a hollow pine stub and had gone and taken it away after the rightful owner had returned to \"The Forks.This information was verified later by an announce-' ment that one Eugene Beaupre, late or Montreal, had died and left an estate amounting to 860,000 to different charities in Canada «nd Maine, saying in his will that the guu was made as a \u201cpar tial atonement for a grievous sin committed in the State of Maine in October, 1856.\u201d .Conservative estimates indicate that more than 12,000 days nf hard labor have been expended in digging for Dolliver\u2019s wealth, and that fully 30,000 tons of earth and stone have been dug up and turnea over by men who were looking in Maine for money that was safely invested in | Montreal real estate.One In Seven DIES CF CONSUMPTION This ds proven by statistics.Two-thirds of all the cases of consumption begin wilh catarrh.From these facts you can figure out what chance you have of escaping death by consumption.It is easy to neglect catarrh until it works bs way insidiously into the lungs and be- comes consumption.It is easy to cure catdrrh if you immediately resort to the use of Dr.Chase\u2019s Catarrh Cure.Dr.Chase\u2019 Catarrh Cure Is delightfully healing and socthing, It olears the air passages, makes breathing free and easy, relieves the pressure which causes headacae, makes the berath sweet, and restores hearing.Dr.Chase\u2019s Catarrix Cure is a positive cure for Catarrh.25 cents a box.Blower free.t 4 Dr.Chase's New Receipt Book, cloth | bound, 500 pages, tegular price $1.00, | sent to any address in Canada on receipt of 50 cents and this coupon.Ed- manson, Bates & Co., Toronto.(7) | DYSPEPSIA MEANS SLOW SUICIDE.Because Poor Digestion Slowly Starves the Body.Poser Dodd\u2019s Dyspepsia Tablets Make Digestion Perfect\u2014 They Digest the Food and Restore the Stomach to Health.Put a sturdy, healthy, vigorous plant in a potful of poor soil, place it in a dark, un- ventilated room, and give it no water, and \u201che consequence will be that it will wither become weak and puny, lose ils natural color, and finally die.- The same thii'g exactly, happens in the case of a person afllicted with Dyspepsia.The source of nourishment is cut off.Every organ and nerve is starved.A moment\u2019s thought will show that there is only one way to remedy such a state of ; affairs.That is to restore the supply of nourishment.Dyspepsia is the result of imperfect digestion.Make the digestion perfect, and Dyspepsia and all its attendant evils will disappear and vigorous health will take the place of weakness and misery, just as a plant will grow healthy and strong, when placed in a good light, and given plenty of rich soil and water.Nothing under the sun will make perfect a poor digestion, except Dodd\u2019s Dyspepsi% Tablets.They digest the food.They bring the stomach to a condition of complete health, and enable it to carry out proprely its own work.In this respect, as in every other, Dodd\u2019s Dyspepsia Tablets are unlike all other Dyspepsia remedies.The patient does not have to use them for ever.They create no \u201cTablet habit,\u201d and their good results are seen almost immediately.Dodd\u2019s Dyspepsia Tablets will convince you of their efficiency, by curing you.They are sold by all druggists, at fifty cents a box, six boxes $2.50, or sent, on receipt of price, by The Dodds Medicine Co., Limited, Toronto.\u2019 - OUIS For the excellence of its Wines the house of Louis Roedercr stands in the foremost rank throughout the world.(1X1 I] Jy .Yoederer.TWD Within three months, lately, 80,000 dozen of the Louis Roederer Wines were sold to the trade in England.The Paris Figaro, states, \u2018\u2018that during the visit of the President of the French Republic to Russia, 300,000 bottles Louis Roederer Champagnes were con- umed at the various banquets.\u201d \u201cWHAT WE HAVE WE'LL HOLD.\u201d viz., our repu tation for FBT:STIC ADVERTISING CALENDERS AND NOVELTIES.ST.LAWRENCE LITHO, and PUB.CO, Temple Building: Telephone 142.E.C.CURRIE, Manager.Chromo advertising cards at 75¢ to $5.00 per thousand.THE BANK OF TORONTO DIVIDEND NO.&.Notice is hereby given that a DIVIDEND OF FIVE PER CENT.for the current half year, being at the rate of TEN PER CENT.PER ANNUM, upon the paid-up capital of the Bank, has this day been declared, and that the same will be payable at the Bank and its Branches on and after THURSDAY, the Ist DAY OF DECEMBER next.THE TRANSFER BOOKS will be closed from the sixteenth to the thirtieth days of November, both days included.By order of the Board.(Sgd.)

Reception at Sohmer Park Last Night, meer A PARADE TO-MORROW.This Evening There Will Be an \u201c At Home\" at Windsor Hall to Citizens.Von relent wm EXECUTIVE DELIBERATES TO-DAY, fimo That Forestry is a vital force in the social development or the city and Province was proved last evening by tue splendid demonstration organized by the Courts of Montreal, which was held at >ohiner Park in honor of the first visit of the supreme executive of the Independent Order of Yoresters.Notwithstanding the much-to- be-regretted absence of the distinguished head of the Order, Dr.Orouhyetcka, through illness, the inclemency of the weather, and the condition of the streets, tlie celebration was a complete success.The members of the supreme executive who rule the destinies of the Order arrived in Montreal early in the evening and took up their headquarters at the St.Lawreice Hall, where their dazzling and picturesque unirorins excited much curiosity and interest.The members of the Executive Council are men of fine physique and dignified and stately, they looked in the unique attire of blue and gold, epaulettes, belts, swords and headdress with white feathers\u2014emblematic of a rustic order of knighthood, devised by the Supreme Chief Ranger as the distinctive feature of the highest tribunal of the Order.The Inde- vendent Order of Foresters is an organ.za- tion which has sprung in a remarkably short space of time from a nucleus of a few hundreds into one of the most powerful benevolent institutions in the world.Toronto is its ohief Canadian centre, and from that city it has spread its ramifications throughout the length and breadth of the Dominion.All over the Motherland and the United States it spreads its beneficent wings joining mankind in a vast brotherhood, whose aim is the cultivation of the highest virtues of a sturdy and independent manhood.\u2018Lhe supreme executive \u2018holds triennial sessions in centres far apart, as may be gathered from une fact that three years ago the meeting place was London, England, that this year it was at Torcnto and that three years hence it will be Los Angeles, California.To-day it holds a special session in Montreal, and the local courts took advantage of tlie occasion to demonstrate to the ruling body how well and firmly the roots of Forestry have been planted tn Montreal.In front of the St.Lawrence Hall a procession of carriages wad formed to convey the Supreme Executive, the chief officers of the Courts of Montreal, most of whom wore the costume of Royal Foresters, the Mayor and other invited guests to Sohmer Park.As it passed through St.James, St.Lawrence, St.Catherine, Visitation, Craig and T\u2019anet streets, the procession was loudly cheered by the crowds that lined the thoroughfares.By the time the park was reached the vast building was literally packed from floor to ceiling\u2014many in fact seeking coigns of vantage on the rafters, by an audience which must have numbered between six and seven thousand.The proceedings were characterized by the greatest enthusiasm.As the members of the executive took their seats on the platform, which was decorated with the banners and regalia of the Order, they were heartily applauded.The chair was occupied by Mr.P.N.Breton, the supreme organizer, who was supported by Mayor Prefontaine, Judge Wedderburn, of New ~runswick, Past Supreme Ohief Ranger; Mr.A.Gosselin, Mr.J.W.Stocles, Sherbrooke, High Secretary; Mr.O.W.Be.dard, Quebec, High Chief Ranger; Mr.Victor Morin, Supreme Vice-Chief Ranges; Nr.H.A.Collins, Supreme Treasuve: Mr.R.A.Drapeau, Mr.J.A.Perlier, Hngh Treasurer- rH, G.Geiger, \u2018Toronto; Mr.J.A.MeGillivray, Supreme Secretary; Dr.Mill, Dr.J.Poupart, Dr.Rose, Toonto; Messrs.Dr.F.S.Mackay, James Casey, A.Dunlop, J.H.Gilmour, C.A.Stone, I.11.Luke, S.T.Hunter, E.S.Cumming, J.B.Alarie, Peter Strathern and many others.Touching references were made during the evening to the cause which prevented Dr.Oronhyeteka from being present\u2014he was prostrated by typhoid fever in To- ronto\u2014and the chairman called for an expression of sympathy and esteem from the audience on his behalf, a call to which the audience at once responded by rising from their seats en masse.The chairmam, after a few words of cordial welcome to the visitors and of congratulation upon the splendid success of the demonstration as testified by the thousands in the building and the thousands who were outside unable to gain adinis- sion, read letters from Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Hom.J.I.Tarte, Mr.Robidoux, Mr.Bergeron, Judge Choquette and

as the representative of the Supreme High Chief Ranger, by Mrs.J.B.Alarie and Miss Lucienne Breton, an interesting little girl about ten years of age, who with charming confidence snd simplicity handed her bouquet to the judre.Attached to the triubte was a card with an inscription in gold letters, \u201c\u201cPresented by one cf the million children pro- tecued by the order.\u201d The judge acknowledged the gifts in suitable terms, and kissed the child ow both cheeks, to the great delicht of the audience, who cheered Fim heartily.He expressed sincere regret, on behalf of himself and colleazues of the Supreme Executive, that Dr.Oron- hyatelha was unable to be present owing to unforeseen circumstances to receive the gifts himself, Ie also returned sincere thanks for \u2018the welcome the vis:tors had received.An address to the Supreme Chief Ranger and members of the Supreme Executive, accompanied by a magnificent iilu- mirated album, was presented to the judge by Mr.F.G.Kearns, by him \u2018to be con- veved to the Supreme Chief Ranger.it contained the following sentiments :\u2014 \u201cWhen the word reached us that the { Furreme Executive of the Independent Orcer of Foresters would meet in Montreal to-dav, a thrill! of joy was felt in the ranks of tlie great army of Foresters cf the Province of Quebec.\u201cEveryone felt, evervone said, that it would be a field day, and \u2018that the sine had come for us Foresters to show to the word, by a magnificent display, how dosely and cordially we are linked to- pethor in liberty, benevolence and concord.\u201cWe all hastened here, with our faini- lies, \"with our friends, so that, by the spectacle of our uniom, they might sce and consider what a power we are, and whit a protection we offer.\u201cThis popular demonstration of the gubordinate courts of Montreal must appeal eloquently to you and convince you that those who called you to your important offices, and who placed in your hands the safeguard of the interests of our families, voiced faithfully, in that respect, our feelings and wishes We have indeed confidence, Worthy Chiet, that the hand which, within a few years, has succeeded in welding for liberty, benevolence and concord the great forces, until that time scattered, and represented by 150,000 men, will always safely and surely direct to a good end that civilizing and benevolent power.\u201cWe have confidence also that those who now surround you will always devotedly further that aim, proving themselves worthy of their chief.\u201d Mayor Prefontaine made an effective speech in French, endorsing the sentiments expressed in the address.He recognized in the cordiality of the reception given him the excellent disposition of the peo- pie towards himself and highly appreciated it.He was afraid that in these recent days he had been somewhat spoiled by the kindness of the people of Montreal.He was glad to be present at this magnificent demonstration to prove by \u2018his presence that the confidence reposed in this great federal society was deserved.The I.0O.F.had the inestimable advantage of having admittedly efficient officers and he trusted it would maintain the progress which had marked its career since its re-organization.He himself had b&n a Forester for seven $1.60 dozen.JOHN SHIRT TAILOR, 381 ST.CATHERINE STREET.in the

dealt with the advantages which the order offered to its members, remarking that as an institution for the welfare of humanity it had no superior in the worid.Not Very many years ago it consisted of 369 members, and had a deficit of $4,000.but since ils affairs had been taken in hand by Dr.Oronhyateka, who was one of raturc\u2019s noblemen, it had prospered until | the 369 members had become 150,000 and : the deficit had been turned into a reserve frnd of three and a half million dollars.He hoped that under the banner of \u201cunity, enevolence and concord\u201d with a garland | entwined with the rose, shamrock and thistle with the mayflower of the States and the manle of our own dear land, it would extend its beneficent mission and that when the little cloud which seemed to be hovering between Dover and Calais disapeared, there would be added to the chaplet the lily of France.An address in French was then presented hv Mr.Eugene H.Gordon to Mr.Victor Morin.congratulating him on his elevation to the position of Vice-Supreme Chief Ranger, and expressing the sense entertained by Court Champlain\u2014the banner Court of the order\u2014of the excellent services the \u2018had rendered as president.Mr.Morin acknowledged the address in appropriate language.Speeches were afterwards delivered by Mr, McGillivray, Mr.Collins, Sunreme Treasurer, Dr.Milliman and Dr.Poupart.The proceedings were varied hy an excellent musical programme and by selections by the Harmony Ban\u201d.This morning the Mavor held a reception im honor of the executive and this even- ire they will be entertained at an At Home and dance at the Windsor Hotel, French Protestant Churches.An effort was made some time ago t) ascertain the strength of the congregations in the nine French Protestant

Alphonse Ouimet presiding\u2014has annulled the election of Mr.Etienne Blanchard to the Legislature for the County of Vercheres, but has refused to disqualify him.Soon after the proceedings began Mr.Blanchard admitted acts by agents which would void the election, but in spite of this the petitioner continued \u2018his proceedings with a view to disqualifying the respondent.The court held that the two specific acts alleged against him were innocent.\"The payment of $300 to the general campaign fund was one which Mr.Blanchard had a perfect right to make, none of the money being used in his own election.The sending of $1.50 to a poor, sick man named Malo was an act of charitr, the man being a staunch Liberal, and prevented by illness from voting in any case.The costs of the case, after Mr.Blanchard\u2019s admission, were placed upon the petitioner, and Mr.Blanchard was allowed the costs of witnesses in regard to the specific charges.Presentation at Westmount.Mr.R.8.Auld, baker and confectioner of Westmount, was called into the waiting room of his establishment the other evening and presented with a handsome clock and chair as a token of esteem from his clerks and drivers.Mrs.Auld was not forgotten, for she was made the recipient of a hand-painted ice-cream set, and the presents were accompanied by an address.\u2018I'he hakers and conf®tion- ers, not to be

are here to bring about peace.Their efforts have so far been unsuccessful.White citizens are enraged and are determined to rid the city + negro domination.South Carolina has been telegraphed 8 for help, and several thousand people are expected from there and from the vicinity of this city and county.The committee of negroes which was ordered to remove the printing press of the Record, Alexander Manley\u2019s paper, which printed an article reflecting on white women, out of the city, And given twelve hours to reply, failed to respond within the specified time.Attack the Newspaper Office.Two thousand armed white citizens headed by ex-Congressman A.M.Waddell, marched to the Record office, broke open the doors, amashed the press and cases to pieces with sledgehammers and burned the building to the ground.While the house was in flames thousands of mfle bullets were fired into the place.A few negroes attempted to resist, amd after one was shot the others dispersed.In response to a fire alarm, the engines turned out, and the firemen were ordered to protect surrounding property.No disguises were worn by the citizens, and every man was sober and deliberate.After the building was reduced to ashes.the crowd repaired to the corner of iifth and Market streets, and was addressed by Col.Waddell.The speaker declared that Manley, the negro editor, had forfeited his right to live, and said that he should be shot on sight.Detachments of armed men were then despatched to various sections of che city.Their headquarters is at the armory.The burning of the printing office created a great commotion among the negroes ot the town.The rumor spread that the whites were going to burn and murder in the megro quarter, This rumor reached the negro employes of a cotton compress numbering three or four hundred, who quit work and hung about the streets.Othe: negroes congregated in the negro section and it was in one of these that the first tragedy was enacted.Negroes, It Is Said, Fired First.The men were standing on a corner and were ordered to disperse.They declined, and it is claimed fired into the whites.A fusilade was immediately opened upon tham by the whites and three negroes were killed.Two whites were wounded slightly.One negro ran down the street and passing a residence fired a rifle at William Mayo, white, standing on the veranda, shooting him through the lungs.This negro was recognized, pursued and captured while hiding under a bed.It is said he confessed to the shooting.He was riddled with shot by his captors and killed.Mayo, while lying on his veranda wounded, shot two negroes.In the meantime the town was in a state of excitement.More whites rushed to the scene from every direction, the local military company was ordered out and a battalion of United States naval reserves proceeded to the vicinity of the trouble With a rapid-fire gun.About 1 o'clock some negroes in a house fired upcn a passing party of white men.The house was surrounded and four negroes captured and taken to jail.One negro broke away and ran, but was shot down and killed before he had proceeded half a block.9 There were other affairs of this kind, and several negroes were killed during various times in the disturbed sections.The total number killed was sixteen.Tha bodies of most of the negroes are lying in the streets.The negroes are now completely cowed, and none can be seen on the streets.The red shirts in large crowds are patrolling the city to prevent any rising of negroes, : Other Cities Offer Help.As the news of the riot spread through the neighboring cities, they offered to send help.As night fell, the town was completely patrolled and guarded.Very few negroes were on the streets, and they were not allowed to congregate , where.The city is in the hands of a new municipal government.\u2018The board of aldermen resigried, one by one.As each alderman vacated, the remainder elected a successor named by the citizens\u2019 committee, until the entire board was changed legally.They resigned in response to public sentiment.\u2018The mew board is composed of conservative Democratic citizens, The Mayor and Chief of Police them resigned, and the new board

Monts.Immediately.a, TWENTY-FIVE PATIENTS Will Be Accommodated, and They Will Be Treated in a Scientific Manner.\u2014 Pur - Dr.MONTREAL DDCTORS APPROVE, R.A.J.Richer, of this city, 1) has just completed arrangements for the establishment of a sanatorium at St.Agathe des Monts for the exclusive treatment of consumptives.A final decision was reached in the matter yesterday afternoon, and the work of construction will commencez on Monday next.A couple of years ago there was an ag'- tation among the medical profession in Canada for the building of such an institution in each of the provinces.The object of the promoters 6f that time was toriums have long ago convinced the medical profession that consumption, in certain stages, when treated under favorable con- dit:ons, can be permanently cured.The physical features surrounding Ste.Agathe des Monits render it desirable for the location of a sanatorium, as it has, moreover, an altitude sufficient for all practical purposes.The establishment will be situated in a emall valley formed by the chain of Laurentian mpountains, end will have an elevation of six hyndrea metres.From a scenic point of view np mrore picturesque spot could have been osen.\u2018The sanatorium will be under the direction of Dr.A.J.Richer himself.Lhe edmission of patients will be made on the recommendaition of Dr.H.A.Laileur, associate professor of medicine at McGill College, who will also be consulting physician of the sanatorium.The therapzu- tical department will be directed by Dr.Robert Wilson, of Point St.Charles.At first there will be accommodation for twen- ty-five pat ents.: The water for the sanatorium will be supplied by a spring capable of supplying from twenty to thirty gallons to the minute.Two glazed verandas, each provided with fireplaces, will add to the comfort of the patients during the colder season.Drives and supervised walks will offer a certain amount of diversion for the patients able to indulge in them, and trained nurses will be in constant attendance upon the patients who will require their services, The building will be three storeys high, and will cost in the neighborhood of $8,900.The public will certainly hear of the proposed sanator'um with the greatest pleasure.Patients suffering from consumption whoo have undergome a systematic treatment have, in all cases, been benefited, and in a great many cases they have been cured.Statistics from consumptive sanatoriums in Europe show that 42 per cent.of the cases \u2018treated by the w have been permanently cured, whilst the percentage of rermanent cures under ordinary treatment has been very few.Dr.Richer was seen by a Herald representative yesterday, and, questioned as to the special treatment a consumptive patient received in the samatorium, he replied \u201cThe principal obligation of the patient is first that he eat well.Mind you, to the extent of overfeeding.The French word \u2018\u2018suralimentation\u201d conveys the idea better.The second obligation is that \u2018he patient receive the proper amount of rest, and the third that he live in the open air in an altitude of pure air.\u201d .The proposed sanatorium will be completed by the month of May, 1899.Of course, it will not be an institution ot charity.Dr.Richer enjoys the confidence and goodwill of the medical profession in Montreal, and is eminently fitted for the rew institution.Ordens have been given to the contractors to begin their work cn Monday morning.FROM THE CAPITAL.Another Yukon Railway Company

public sanatoriums for the treatment of consumptives, and to make them free institutions.The site proposed for the one in this province was at Ste.Agathe des Monts or at St.Faustin.But the scheme did not mature, real men, who had been relied upon for the necessary funds, refused to lend their aid to a charitable institution so far removed from their personal supervision.The one result of the agitation was the | establishment of a consumptive sanatorium at Gravenhurst, Ont., which to-day is the only one in Canada.Dr.A.J.Richer, of Montreal, who is to erect the \u2018Laurentian Sanatorium\u201d at Ste.Agathe, has had the matter for a long time under consideration.During his stay in Europe he pursued special studies in connection with the treatment of tubercular diseases.and there had opportunities of making observations under tthe most eminent physicians.On his return to Montreal Dr.Richer worked for the erection of a sanatorium in the province of Quebec.The conviction

AS THEY STAND.eens ASHINGTON, Nov, 11.\u2014In administration circles there \u2018is greater rejoicing over the large and absolute safe sound money over the capture of the House during an off year by the party in power.The Senate was the stake for which the Republican managers played with the greatest skill and energy, and it is said that Senator Hanna, who is a past master in the art of raising and disbursing political campaign funds, practically ignored the House contest and rolled his barrel in the direction of those States in which Senators are to be elected.oo A member of the administration in discussing the situation, says : \u201cThe Senate stands for six years, while the political complexion of the House is constantly changing.With a substantial majority in the Senate the administration may go ahead with its present foreign and finan- cal policy without fear of interruption or the injection of the free silver poison 2 i Se S + ni 2 majority in the Senate, than is

safely figure on at least twenty-three Republican Representatives from New York, with the pr spe-ts of a greater numer.\u201d He says he cannot understand how they were so badly off in their calculations, and bis personal pride was jarred by their misleading predictions.He has always prided himse.f on making conservative estimates in a political battle, but the re- suits in New York completely destroyed bis reputation as a political forecaster.He admits that he was badly Tuesday night when the returns from Greater New York came in.He reasoned it out that if New York, with àts superior organization and systematic campaigning was swept away in a Democratic tuw wave, it was almost useless to look for refuge in other directions.Relief signals, however, began to appear in the far West toward Wednesday morning, and then he took fresh courage and proceeded to figure out a Republican victory with only fifteen Republicans from New York.MERRITT IS PLEASED.The American General,

Republicans will lose no time after March 4 next in proceeding with a côm- plete reorganization of the Senate.All of the principal offices in the Senate, j including the Secretary and Sergeant-at- i Arms of that body are now held by Democrats.Through the political sagacity of Senator Gorman, of Maryland, the Democratic leader, a combination was effected between the Democrats, the free silver l apublicans and Populists, by which the { political offices in the Senate are held by ! Democrats, while the Republicans contro the majorities on the various standing com- inittees.\"That compact, which mow retains mo many Democrats in the fat Senatorial offices, will be brushed aside after March 4, and there will be a grand scramble for the Senatorial pie counter, by the Republicans.The «poils in the Senate are of but minor importance to the Administration compared with the big sound money majority in that body.President McKinley can now proceed with his foreign and domestic politics secure in the knowledge that the free silver issue is no longer a menace to cvery legislative proposition brought forward.In the face of the returns the present free silver majority will hardly dare to block routine legislation at the coming short session.It is well understood and freely expressed in administration circles, that no attempt at financial legislation will be made this winter by the Republicans.The present condition of affairs is said to be moderately satisfactory, and there is no dispodition to further agitate the already muddy free silver pool.In the next Congress, when Republicans have control of both branches of Congress and the executive, they may put through such financial legislation as they deem necessary for the campaign of 1900.Some of the Republicans who failed of re-elec- tion last Tuesday, are inclined to resent the way in which they were ignored by the financial backers of the Grand Old Party.Tt ÿs an undisputed \u2018fact that Chairman Babcock of \u201cthe Republican Congressional Committee, was short on campaign funds this year as compared with two years ago.Many Republicans were continually calling on Chairmam Babcock for financial aid, but he was not able to meet their demands, notwithstanding the assessments levied on nearly all of the Republican officials under the Government.Chairman Baboock says the campasgn is closed so far as his committee is concerned, may \u2018| and he is satisfisd «the House is Republican by from eight to twelve majoruty.H.?is ready to close up Congressional headquarters and go to his home in Wisconsin, where he is supposed to hold a first mortgage on the seat in the Senate whick dena.tor Mitchell will vacate March 4th.Mr.Babeock is greatly disappointed at the result of the Congressional elections in J of all nationalities, were most anxious that the United States should retain the Philippine Islands.\u201cWe have a fine trade with North China, which could be strengthened by coaling stations and headquarters in te EastEast, without interfering with British interests.\u201cI do not think it true, as the Russian papers say, that the Pacific will become an merican lake.But one thing is certain about the Philippine Islands, we must either take them all or drop them all together.\u201d U.S.WILL LOSE HER.The Maria Teresa Will Be Taken Possession of by Britain as a Derelict, Nassau, New Providence, Nov.11.\u2014The British Admiralty authorities here are going to take possession of the Maria Teresa as a derelict.The American Consul has protested against this course, claiming everything less the salvage.The steamer Antillia is leaving here for Cat Island with cusaom officers and police on poard.Opinions differ as to the chance \u2018of saving the cruiser.Although she has been aground eince Thursday, the Maria Teresa rests in an easy position, and the weather is moderate.\u2014_ 4 WIPED OUT THE FAMILY.Sr\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A Resident of Indiana Kills His Father, Mother and One Sister, Scottsburg, Ind., Nov.11.\u2014A telegram received by Fern McClellan, of this city, to-day from Glasgow, Ky., states that last night his brother-in-law, Robert Brown, shot and killed his father, Louis McClel- ing, his mother and sister Bertha, and dangerously wounded his brother.The tragedy was the result of family troubles.Tney live in the country, four miles from Glasgow.Officers have Brown stirrounded in his ba à taking place.Over a hundred shots have been fired.The officers have come to town after Winchesters.Brown opened fire first, If Brown does not surrender, the barn will be burned.A large crowd is going from own.\u2019 !

way perferential advantages as regards consular fees.In return for these concessions they asked that the Norwegian Legislatures should grant the King of same control over the armed forces of Norway which he has over the armed forces of Sweden.The Norwegian Commissioners, on the other hand declared a new act of union superfluous.They refused to regard the consular service as necessarily among the common affairs of the two countries, or to allow Norwegian Ministens taking part in the conduct of foreign policy to be tried by a special cour because they prefer to be ahle to impenrh them before their own tribunal.Finally, they refused to bind themselves in any way to contribute to the national defence, The Afridis Are Quiet.There is much satisfaction in Government circles in India over the placidity with which \u2018the Afridrs have accepted the newly announced policy with regard to the Khaiber Pass.Representatives of the tribes, who \u2018had been summoned to }'egia- war, were informed that the Indian Government had resolved to take and hold the pass, to build fonts at Landi Kotal, Jagnrad and other strategic points, and to exerci\u2019 jurisdiction over the entire terri- | tory.Outside the pass the Airidis are : to manage their own affairs, but they are to deal only with the British Government, A railway will be built through the pass, if necessary.The ;allowances, hitherto paid to the tribes, will be: continued, but will be dtopped on the first indications of any misconduct against the British or their allies.The Afridis, who were represented very fully, accepted these terms readily, and with apparent frankness, making no protest against either fonts or railroad, but asking for compensation in the case of any occupation of cultivated land.Their demand for the surrender of the women who had fled from them into British territory was refused, but they were told that their fugitive head men might return and would not be molested.The settlement seemed to be entirely friendly, and is expected to be permanent.Orders for Battleships.The British Admiralty has just asked Clyde shipbuilders to submit tenders for the imuLewiate cowtruction of four new battleships, one first-ciass cruiser, and twelve \u2018torpedo-boat destroyers.The bat tlé-ships are to have a speed of nineteen knots, and in fighting power are to eclipsa anything afloat.They will have four 12- inch, 48-ton, breech-loading guns, firing 850-pound shot, with a muzzle energy of 330.20 foot-tons.As to the cruiser, the specifications call for a speed of not less than twenty-three knots on the full-power tnial under natural draught; the horsepower to be 30,000.This speed is remarkable, in view of the fact that there is to i be 1,250 tons of coal on board, and that the vessel is to have a deep belt of speci ally hardened nickelsteel of six inches ia, thickness, and extending from ram to stern.In addition, she will have protected decks and two rows.of breakers along and over the machinery spaces, the maximum coal capacity being 2,500 tons.This is 500 tons less than the capacity of tha Powerful and Terrible.The new cruiser, which 1s described as an experimental one will also be strong in gun-fire.She will have two 9.2-inch 22-ton guns, firing 380- pound shot, with a muzzle energy of 109.10 tons.One of these will be placed on tha forecastle, as in the Powerful; but thera will be no poop.This is to save weight.The vessel will be 500 feet long between pemend.culiars, 71 feet beam, 26 feet draught, and 14,100 tons displacement.She will be stronger in ranid-firing guns than the Powerful class, These guns will number sixteen, each firing 100-pound shot, and the number of shots fired per minute is to be 128.: 3 O THE HERALD, a 2-0 MONTREAL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1898, MORE LIGHT ON DREYFUS CASE, Italy and Germany Combined to Force the French War Office to Tell the Truth, WHAT GERMANY KNOWS, Esterhazy Was the Culprit and Gave Many Valuable Documents to Germany.\u2014 ASTQUNDING TALE, IF TRUE.er AN The National Review again gives special prominence to the French military ecan- dals.Mr.F.C.Conybeare presents \u2018side Lights on the Dreyfus Case.\u201d The editor, Mr.L.J.Maxse, puts forward what he calls \u201cThe Key to the Mystery,\u201d besides dealing with it in the chronicle.What Forced the Forgery to Light.Mr.Conybeare gives his explanation of the reopening of the case : \u201cLong ago the Italian Government, through Count Ternielli seems to have informed M.Hanotaux that the letter naming Dreyfus, by brandishing which before the jury Peilieux and Boisdeffre secured the first condemnation of Zola, was a forgery.The Italian ambassador even extorted from M.Hanotaux a promise that it should not be used again on pain of exposure 'by himself.In July a new foreign minister, M.Delcasse, replaced M.Hanotaux, who, with the rest of M.Meline\u2019s ministry, had been cleared out.At once M.Cavaignac, with fresh eclat, brandishes the same forgery from the tribune of the Chamber.Re- sult\u2014the Italians, backed by the Germans, threaten exposure unless the French themselves make a clean confession.Fairly cornered, the officials of the War Office, with the help of limedight, detect as a forgery a document which half of them already knew to be such.Follows the denouement, forced on the French Government by outside pressure, and not stream ef emigration fresn European countries to the Lniied States, Souwn America and Australia, und no crease of popua- Lion in any Lurupean couniry from Juumi- Bration Irom other countries \u2018han Europe.Lhe devasialing wars wndah, thooreticaily, at leas, reduce tive po;

Youll be drowned,\u201d said Nell Weston, the oldest girl in the party.\u201cPhil, don\u2019t you try it, even if Jack does.\u201d \u201cNo, Phil, don\u2019t try it,\u201d chorussed the others; \u201cand, Jack, don\u2019t you, either.1t doesn\u2019t make any difference how well you can swim; you might get caught, and, Phil.any,way.\u201d Phil winced.They did not believe he was as good a swimmer as Jack and this made it all the harder for him to refuse.On the other hand it made Jack still more eager for the attempt.\u201cCome on! Follow your leader, don\u2019t be an old granny!\u201d the called, as with a leap into the air he dived head first into the whirking current.Phil made a motion as if to follow, then hesitated, turming pale.It was hard for him not to do it.It would establish Jack\u2019s reputation as the best swimmer, and, though the girls had opposed the undertalring, they would be all the prouder of Jack when he came safely to shore.\u201cDon\u2019t go.the surface and struck out boldly the boy could eee that they were watching with admiration.Once more he was on the point of plunging, and once more the sce- thing flood made him hestitate.Fie foved life, and in this attempt there was danger.He was restrained by a, wise prudence, which for the moment scemed to him base cowardice.He could not turn his face to the others for shame, but with them stood watching the swimming boy intently.Suddenly, he uttered a low eclama- tion, which was echoed by the others.More than two-thirds the distance across Jack had struck the swiftest part of the channel and was about to be carried below the last point where he could tant, There would be no turning back, and the swimmer was making a frantic euxt Lo reach the shore before he should be swent beyond it.They saw him struggle and swim as only Jack could swim, and then\u2014perhaps it was because of the long swim that tired him\u2014they saw \u2018his strokes grow weaker and weaker and then cease altogether, while the swirling green water caught him like a bit of driftwood and swept him out where there were no shores save those that lay behind.It alt happened more quickly than I have told it.The girls watching gave a wild scream and then another as right from their midst & second figure rushed from their middt a second figure leaped into \u2018the rushing water.It was Phil Morrie.He did not hesitate now and fhe did not attempt to reach the other point.He headed straight for the sea, and, being comparatively fresh, it seemed to them that he swam \u201cwith dneredible swiftmiess.They could see Jack still floating helplesaiy, making no effort, and going rapidly out with the tide.\u2018They watched Phil as he gained and at last overtook him.They grew pale and silent with fear, for they did not believe that say ons could battle with that fierce ele- rent.bathers.The west watched Phil and Jack tossed by the billows and now side by side, Phil striving to work his way Jsttle by little out of the swift chanmel and dragging Jack after him.They were far out to sea by this time, Bo far that every other moment they were \u2018hidden from thet rose between.ed to the watchers ae if Phil also had given up and whe drifting helplessly.But they eaw at last that he was working to the left, geting out of the strong current, Then they knew that he wag taking it cooly and steadily, and when at length they eaw that he had turned end was heading for the beach they gave a great cheer.Slowly, very slowly, but surely and steadily the boys came in.Jack, wholly exhausted but ooliscious, and clinging to Phil\u2019s shoulder, and Phil swimming low and with long, even strokes, riding over one billow only to climb the next that rose before him._\\s they drew nearer at | Don\u2019t do it, Phil!\u201d they: were calling to him, but as Jack rose to | tt Two girls left the crowd and ran ; cailing up the beach towards the other .view by the billows ! So far that it seem- | | the little group ran down the sand and | the ink to water.\u201d waited for them breathlessly.The bathers from above were also coming in a great crowd by this time.\"There was no life-saving station at this point, but there were men among them who were brave and strong and eager to save.Only they came too late.Phil had already done battle with the ocean.and won.As the bathers reached the shore, the sea, as if realizing its defeat, lifted up a great wave, like a mighty living creature, that caughw, both boys, and, bearing them far up the shore, flung them angrily on it, and ran back growling and frothing to its lair.The crowd gathered hastily about them.Phil was panting and weak, and Jack was half unconscious.When presently he was able to speak he reached over and got hold of I\u2019hil\u2019s hand and said weakly: \u2014 \u201cWou're the best swimmer on the coast, Phil, and 1\u2019ll back you against any of them.\u201d \u201cOh, pshaw, Jack! you\u2019d have made it all right, alone, if you hadn\u2019t got used up tirst by that current.\u201d And the girls said, as girls always do:\u2014 \u201cOh, Jack, we knew you couldn\u2019t get across.We told you not to try it.\u201d And Jack never did try it again.Albert Bigelow Paine.\\ The New Neighbor.Some mew folks took the Jones\u2019s place, Where Pete Jones lived before.; There were no boys, only one little girl; So, though it\u2019s might next door, | We didn\u2019t make friends for quite a while, Wihich Ma thought wasn\u2019t right.She told me I must go and call If 1 wanted to be polite.Of course I had to go, you eee, And 1 marched through their front gate Her mother opéned their big front door, And I was asked to wait.When Sue came down, she was wosy red, While I felt sort of queer.We both said \u201cHow d\u2019ye do?\u201d at once, But Sue would not come near.Wihait next to say I couldin\u2019t think; She giggled and I frowned.Then \u2018her mother brought some cookies out, All crispy hot land browned.I took two, and Sue took three, I tell you, they were nice!

\u201c Dovetrot\u2019s got a star under hia coat.\u201d The man quieted down at once.He looked inquiringly at \u201cDovetrot,\u201d as the children, unrebuked, called the good, broad- chested, not very tall, old gentleman.His Quaker garb was dove-color and a way he had walking also suggested the name \u201cDovetrot,\u201d by which he was familiarly known in the community.Dovetrot didn\u2019t deny the boy's statement, but looked at the brawny teamster with a quiet, sleady eye that commanded respect.All this time the fallen horse lay panting, with his limbs outstretched and trembling, and a look of despair in his eyes.Dovetrot got down on his knees to rub the aching joints, while, at the same time, he said to the man: \u201cNow, do thee get a bucket of water.Quick !\u201d amd to the poor beast he said.in soothing \u2018tomes: \u201cThee\u2019s got a hard master, poor boy; but maybe we can make him batter.Poor boy, good boy.\u201d He repeated this softly many times, until the irnitated nerves became quiet, and the look of distress passed off.\u201cNow, help him to drink,\u201d said Dove- trot, soothingly as he brought from one capacious pocket a ¢in basin and from the other a little bag of oats.He put some water with the oats and \u2018held ithe compound under the horse\u2019s mouth, After eating, the poor beast\u2019s spirits continued to rise, and without any i eet.The crowd cheered and the driver laoked ashamed.\u201cNow, thee don\u2019t want to yell at thy faithful servant at any time,\u201d said Dove- trot kindly; \u201cif thee will feel of his pulse before and after thee has shouted at him in à cross way, thee will find it has jumped ahead at a gallopin\u2019 rate under thy harsh, hard tones.When it don\u2019t make him nervous and feverish, it makes him stubborn and ugly\u2014like it does his brother, man.Horses don\u2019t like to be \u2018ordered around,\u2019 as the boys say.Why can\u2019t thee be polite to them when they are doing thee a favor ?They are wonderfully kind and and aoccommodatin\u2019.They never haggle about what \u2018thee is going to pay them, but pitch right in and do their very best.\u201d All this time Dovetrot was rubbing the \u2018horse\u2019s nose, and occasionally his knees and , \u201cAnd thee seldom even thanks them,\u201d he resumed to the driver.\u201cNow come on, my boy,\u201d in a chering tone to the horse, and the animal started his load, from before which Dovetrot had removed the stones, and followed his benefactor lke a lamb.A string of small boys brought up the rear, while the driver walked at the side holding the lines, and looking as though he had found an idea.The boys had witnessed scenes like this before, and one of their number had goi- ten up an impromptu song to the tune of \u201cKind Words Can Never Die.\u201d They now all joined in singing this, stamping their feet as they danced along to emphasize the words, which, we must confess, had more truth in them than poetry: ankles, and saying, \u2018Poor boy, good Kind words is Dovetrot\u2019s way, Quaker way, dressed in gray;
