Rioux.\u201d THE IBERIAN.Commander Spain attributes the accident to the Iberian \u2018to the pilot mistaking Rod Island light for White Island light, and also to his leaving the bridge and going below, where he was at the time of the disaster.I have also to point out that the master was down below when the vessel struck.\u201d THE BANGORE HEAD.As for the Bangore Head, which the master claims was struck either by a sunken wreck or a boulder that had heen carried down by the ice, Commander Spain, on the contrary, belleves that the vessel was too close in to the south shore.He points out that masters nf vessels have been officially warned \u2018to make full allowance for strong downward current, and, espec- jally in thick weather, to give the south shore a good herth, which may be eas- ilv done, as the estuary is clear and apen for a width of twenty-five miles as far up as Bic Island.Hugging the south shore is only incurring unneces- sarv risk for the saving of a little time.\u201d THE LOANGO.A drizzling rain was failing when the Inango, early in the evening, grounded on Cap Rouge toint, which accl- dent is attributed \u201cto over-confidence of Pilot Frenette in considering that.he was capable of steering the vessels on such a dark night.If the ship had come to anchor the casualty, no doubt, could have heen avoided.\u201d THE EDWARD SEYMOUR.The barkentine - Edward Seymour, which ran ashure on the Island\u2019of An- ticosti.had expertemeed \u201cterrific weather\u201d after passing Cape Breton, and it was absolutely Infiossible for the master to get any sights for some three days before she was wrecked.The disaster \u2018Comes within the category of fortuitous accidents.CERMANY SAYS NO FRICTION EXISTS Declares British Government is Working in Perfect Harmony With Her.London, January 27.\u2014The following statement was authorized by the German Embassy here .\u2014 \u201cThere is not the slightest truth in the reports of friction or misunderstanding between England and tGer- many in regard to Venezuela.Both Governments continue to act in perfect harmony and wiil simultaneously withdraw the blockade at the earliest possible moment.It is to be regretted that the House of Commons Ig not in session, as a question in the House doubtless would reveal the perfect un- .derstanding which exists between the two countries.There has been no disapproval of any Kind expressed by the British Government regarding Germany\u2019's conduct of affairs in connection with Venezuela.\u201cNo date has yet been settled upon for raising the blockade, but it will cease just so soon as the representn- tives of the powers reach a final agreement with Mr.Bowen.The feeling expreased in the press here, and reflected in the cable despatches from New York, that England finds the German alllance embarrassing, ie in no way confirmed by the Government's attitude.\u201d HALF-MINUTE : INTERVIEWS Pr.Louis Laberge\u2014Cases 6 of typhoid and

for it, as we don\u2019t Import at the time Canadian products are sold, and it would simply mean raising the price on the consumers.GTA.OFFICIALS WERE AMUSE They Would Like Mr.Morgan to Indicate Which Line He Would Finance.New York, Jan.27.\u2014A despatch to the World from Boston says that J.Pierpont Morgan, according to an Advertiser story, will go to Ottawa and submit to the Canadian Government a proposition to take charge of the Dominion railways.\u2019 In case this mission is not successful, he will propose as an alternative to finance the new Canadian trans-continen- tal line.Deep and appreciative merriment, un- darkened by any shadow of alarm, expanded over the faces of the Grand Trunk Railway above dedgpatch was shown this morning.\u201cNo, ledge of Mr.Morgan's plans,\u2019 said Mr.R.S.Logan, of the general manager's office.\u201cThere are go many of these stories that we find it hard to keep trark of them.\u201d \u201cHow would the Grand Trunk welcome Mr.Morgan's kind offer to finance tne transcontinental line?\u201d \u201cWell, the despatch unfortunately does not say which one of them.There are four.so that leaves it rather vague.Even the probability of Mr.Morgan's coming to Ottawa on any business whatever was unknown to the Grand Trunk.It may interest that magnate to know, however, that he can have a pass over so much of Mr.Hays\u2019 lines as he needs to use in his trip, any time he requires it.LYNCH'S SENTENCE IS COMMUTED London.January 27.\u2014The sentence of death passed upon Colonel Arthur Lynch, who was found guilty of high treason Fn- day last, has

were melted by the intense heat.Some of the lunatics were burned w-hile in bad and the charred remains of others were found huddled topether in corners, while groups of partially consumed bodies on the site of the corridors showed that many persons lost their livea and sacrificed those of others in their frantic efforts tn force a building.The latest estimate of the superintendent of the asylum places the number of deaths at 52, AU the victnis were women.NO HIGHER DUTY ON VEGETABLES Montreal Growers and Dealers are Opposed to Ontario Suggestion.Tt is nor thought by the fruit and vegetable importers of Montreal that the agitation of the Montreal Gardeners\u201d Protective Association of Ontario for a higher tariff on vegetahies will result respect.The association, at their banquet in Toronto last Thursday night, urged that the Dominion Government should be approached for an increased tarift, and Mr.Archie Campbell, M.P., favored the step which Mr.st John M.PP.suggested, that the incrensed protection should be made provincial.Mr.Hart, of Hart & Tuckwell, Mc- Gill Street, was interviewed this morning upon what the results of higher protection would be to the fruit importers, \u201cIt would simply mean that would have to go out of business,\" the reply.\u201cWhat is the duty now?\u201d \u201cThe duty 18 already about 25 per cent., and were they to raise it.tin- portations would stop.1 understand that the market gardeners want the tariff made 50 per cent.The agitation so far as we can learn is confined to Toronto and thereabouts, and the Montreal market gardeners have not yel taken it up.\u201d \u201cDo you think higher tariff?\" \u201cNo, I don't.\u2019 said Mr.Hart.\u201cThere is no reason why the tariff should be increased.American vegetables are not imported at the same time of the year that our Canadian products are sold, and therefore they cannot be called some was it will result in a ed States during the winter, and there is very little Canadian produce in the market then.\u201d \u201cHow would the consumer be affected by a higher tariff?\" \u2018\u2019The consumer would get the worst of it.While the market gardeners want more protection, it is for their own benefit.Were the American vegetables shut out of the Canadian market by a higher tariff, it would mean raising the prices to the consumer.\u201d \u2014_\u2014 THE PROVINCIAL

M bi bi i i a w \u2018+ equals of Sir William Meredith, who i i k ; ve | EXT i Beaman 9 contrmn ess RETIREE Ca = \u2018 t \u20188 Prime Minister, -ordered them to quit.Mr.Foster has Foster a seat in Parliament to oppose the Liberal leaders and the Liberal policy.Obviously, this is too much to musk of flesh and blood.And yet there Is just enough sympathy for Mr.Foster on the part of the general public to ace count for a confusion of ideas on this subject being general also.There are three divisions of the population to be considered when a question dike this i§ opened.There are those.who compose the two great parties, who espouse one side or tne other because they believe: the general interest \"can best be served by the leaders of that party being in control of the legislative authority.Then there are those, not ardently devoted to the fortunes of one party or the other, and even a great.many who are, who rightly belleve that the country is the better for the presence .of its ablest men in Parliament.This element, whether it be thought of mus separate from.the parties or as identified with \"them, certainly has some claim upon them.If public opin- fon generally favors the selection of the best men for the highest order.of work, the normal response of the political parties would be to put such men where.that work would come to hand.The truth is that, however difficult it may | \u2018fe to effeot: this object, political parties Bo live up to it as a rule, and for the.best of reasons.If they fafl to satisfy he people that they have the \u2018best \u2018ymen.at the head, they do not command ./ the dontidence of the people.There are numerous examples \u2018 of this kind\u2019 at _ hand without going outside recent Canadian history.No one will deny that -an important element in - the extraor- glia ry success of Sir Oliver Mowat consisted in his being able, at all times, to command a stronger front bench than\u2019 that which opposed him.Sir Oliver always had four or five who were the -mever had anybody in the: same Class to: Help him.Again, so long \u2018as Sir John Macdonald lasted, his personal pres- -tige, which grew with years, held his party together and kept it in\u2019 office, But when he passed off the stage, and when a little later Sir John Thompson followed\u2019 him, the country was not long An appraising at its just valuation the .aggregation that attempted to continue fhe government.They were too small gor the undertaking, and when in their oInfatuation they \u2019 thought they \u2018couid ati go on with Sir Mackenzie Bowell the people flatly\u2019 been blamed: for leading = the ' revolt against Sir Mackenzie, and there were, -mo- doubt, some aspects of unworthiness mbout what was done.But there can.be na doubt that he was on sound .ground when lie affirmed that the Cabs .inet was not in a normal state because \u2018of the inadequacy of its headship.- It -Mr.Foster has had to take rather -Mmore than his share of the blame for \u2018this transactiqn, it is probably because he lacks those characteristics which wppeal to men with warm blood in their veins, and who will not excuse a bhe- trayal even when it is intellectually defensible.If he and: his friends had Ybeen capable of rightly measuring the forces by which events, were being guided, they would have seen that the} people were bound before long to make an end of a situation that had become éftolerable, and by waiting tor the inevitable they might have \u2018saved.them- welves the lasting disgrâce o of the \u201cnest of traitors\u201d episode.Whut Mr.Foster did not recognize then, and what a Sood \u2018many other peo- ble do not stop to recognize now, is that perfect good faith on\u2019 the part of a group of political leaders is a prime essential under \u2018our system of government.It was not necéssarily so under the old system, when the favor of an arbitrary monarch was the touchstone Of power.Until well on in the reign of George IV.the.Townshends and Wynd-\" hams and Walpoles and Butes and Norths.could get along well enough if they were shrewd enough.to-capture the King's favor.It might be the elder Pitt, compelling the favor of the King by his intrepidity and his frank confi- fdênce in himself; it milght be North, confirmed in office by his willingness.to turn and veer at the King's pleasure.But on the day when Chatham, ris mind fresh once more after his gout- had passed a erisia boldly declared shat Rockingham and his friends were alone worthy of the confidence of the sition, because they alone stood.firmly By each other and by the principles - they affirmed, the lines were lald down | jen which British government in the Wfheteemth century was to be conducted.Wes1ington Tarned OUT VASUlY Super= for Hoasskieson because there was not tits cordial understanding.\u2018Aberdeen ad 10rd-John Russell, without it, sa: {wet strong \u2018government go t6 pieces, Phe principle prevailed at last, and all attempts to get along without it, ue in Ae rte!

and boldly justify their orig- with \u2018them, and that the contrary influence of this or that other minister is to dbe.discounted because of his in- ferier personal influence.The whole proceeding is damaging in jt» influence upon our institutions, but most damaging, in fts easily foreseen copsequences, to any Cabinet, which would allow the mining process to go on to its natural end.This fundamentally necemary good faith as between responsible political leaders involves, it .is plain, a similar responsibility elsewhere.If they are to be expected thus to .conserve the party's interests, to keep its defences intact, the party in turn must be expected to be loyal to its united chiefs.If we cannot all remember, we at least nearly all of us know, how in the dark days of Liberalism Sir Richard Cartwright had his constituency carved away by vindictive opponents in office.It was a time when: the tide flowed strongly against the Liberals, and especially against Sir Richard Cartwright.Nothing was heard in those days of the desirability of having him back in Parliament merely because he was a strong man.Nobody talked glibly of according him an elec tion by acclamation {in a doubtful constituency.In Sir John's day Tories were not of that sort, and it may in all humility be doubted if the spots.have undergone any notable change since.The concern was one for the Liberal\u2019 duty.Sir Richard's utility was ap- praiged at its worth and he was given a nomination in a riding where a Liberal was secure of election beyond peradventure.\u2018That was the normal course.That is how Liberals did it.That is not how Conservatives are doing it: \u2018That is how they ought to do it: If Mr.Foster has any usefulness, hé is primarily useful to them.They have a majority in Ontario, more than they gre entitled to.They have had plenty of chances of finding him a eeat as secure as Sir Richard Cartwright\u2019s.They have utterly failed in their duty.To.get him into the House, where \u2018the \u201cmore intelligent of them know he would\u2019 \u201cbe useful, they have to go whining to the Liberals of North Ontario to get him admitted.They ought to be ashamed of themselves.As for Mr, Foster, it is to.his credit that he has not shirked a fight - which, it his political associates were in any way qualified for thelr positions, he need ever have been asked to undertike.If he is beaten it will serve them right.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 .BETTER THAN APPEARED.\"The later despatches on the subject of.the Alaska reference, and the state: ments made by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, seem to authorize the belief that there yhas nôt been a reservation by the Americans of the status of Skagway and Dyea, the towns at the head of Lynn Inlet, a probability which suggested It- \"self to a former member.of the Cana- = dian- Cabinet, who evidently knew all about the earlier negotiations.Sir Wilfrid Laurier's statement is that.the commissioners\u2019 will have béfore.them, simply -the treaty between Russia and \"England, and will be expected to agree about what is meant under its terms.If that is all it comes to, it is.difficult to see how very much progress can- made, unless new evidence is presented which will be much more conclusive in its character than what was available before.It is to be supposed that the Canadian.and American Governments have already considered every particle of evidence that could be secured, and if they have widely differed there must still be room for.a wide difference.The Americans are certainly \u2018doing what they can to encourage the belief that their commissioners will hold fast to the American view, \u2018and that one of the British commissioners -may.be.brought to see through thelr \u2018glasses.Canadians can hardly be so confident, ; - .} ; ; = .THE NEW PAPER.1 \u2018has been formally \u2018decided.that a new paper shall ° appear in.Montreal) within the next few weeks, whose purpose will be.to uphold the opinions of the Liberal \u2018party before the \u2018French- speaking péople of \u2018the Montreal district.- The need of such a paper had | become pretty apparent.There is a Conservative morning paper, Le Journal, and in, the evening field, while \u2018La | Presse has for some years been friendly 4 party, and the Liberal party did its | be | 10 to 1 Againet You Sir Miram Maxim.Some years ago I found myself in a train approaching Monts Carlo.I dls vided my time between admiring the beautiful scenery and studying the suide-book which purported .to give all particulars, technical and otherwise, concerning the \u2018gaming tables.According to this book, the average | relations between the players and the bank were as 60 is to 61, and the winnings of the bank were £1,000,000 « year.This appesred to indicate tome that the players of Europe ana Amierica took £§61,000,000 sterling to Monte Carlo every year, staked it, won back £60,000,000, and left £1,000,000 with, the bank.~ The magnitude of these figures staggered me.1 could not understand IL] Surely it could not.be true.Still, it the bank actually won £1,000,000 sterling a year, and its chances were only 1 in 60 better than the players\u2019, it was Quite evident that £61,000,000 must have \u2018been staked.\u2018However, upon visiting Monte Cario and carefully studying the play, I found that instead of the players taking, £61,000,000 to Monte (\u2018urlo, and losing £1,000,000 of it, the total amount probably did\u2019 not exceed £1,000,000, of which the bank, instead of winning, as shown in the guide book, nbout 1 1-2 per cent, actually won rather more than 9 per cent.; therefore, the advantages In favor of the bank, instead of peine 61 to 60,.were approximately o 1 .4 How it Works Out.| Let us see now what the actual facts are.If red has come up twéhty times in succession, it is just as llkely to come up at the twenty-first time as it would be, if it had not come up before for a week.Each particular \u201ccoup\u201d is governed \u2018altogether by the physical conditions existing at that particular instant.The ball spins round a great many times in a groove.When its momentum is used\u2019 -üp, it comes in contact with several pleces of brass, and finally tumbles into a pocket in the wheel which is rotating in an opposite direction.It is a pure and unadulterated question of chance, and it is not influenced in the least by anything - which has\u2019 ever taken place before, or that will take place in the future.One Chance in a Million.A French mathematician visited Monte Carlo some years ago and made a.careful study of the play.Later, he wrote that the ordinary players .at Monte Carlo did not stand one chance \u2018in a milllion of.winning.This, of course, related to the punter class, who play, without rhyme or reason, numerous small sums.all-over the board.Why 1s it that the bank stands suëh enormous chances as against the players?While at Monte.Carlo I became acquainted with a married couple who went every day to the bank, drew out £40, divided \u2018it equally between them,\u201d and then went to the Casino, and play- éd until they had lost their money.They generally commenced by stak- Ing o 20fr.plece at a time.If they won, they added a 20fr.piece to thelr little pile on the table.If they.lost, \u2018they replenished thelr pile with another -20fr.piece from their pocket.On one occasion, I noticed that \u2018the wife was patiently backing red, while the husband quite as patiently backed | black.When one lost, the aiher.won, and as each put down 20fr.at each coup, they kept even 80 long as zero | did not come up, but when zero did come up they lost -haif their .stake, that is, the bank.took from the.two players 20fr., and as about one coup\u2019 was played in a minute, it.follow ed that the' zero came up .on AR.average once in every thirty- seven minutes, z Working a System.Suppose now that a single player goes to Monte Carlo, having a capital,\u2019 say.of 25,000fr., that .is, £1,000, and plays on the following \u201csystem ; He stakes a flve-franc piece.If he \u2018Wins, Well and good.- He up wine nings, and bets the same umount again.If he loses, he doubles the amount.If he loses a second time, he doubles again, and so on up to.the limit.By this system, with a capital of 25,000fr., if the player only starts to win a relatively amall sum, he stands a very wood, \u2018chance of doing.so., One must, however, consider the whole.25,000fr.as a stake for this system, and ff the player only starts in to win -60fr., the chances are about 450 to 1 that he will do s0, and his chances of losing the whole amount may be considered as one chance in 450.It 18 very evident, therefore, that if he is satlsfled to commence with.a small stake, and only seeks to win a relatively small amount .each day, having a capital of \u201826, 000fr., he stands a very good chanc :.of repeuting his win= nings a great number of times before he loses the whole amount, but the risk is always just in proportion to the amount he seeks to win, and money In the pocket is nlways worth more than \u2018| 1t 18 on the board.-1 know of one player who visited | Monte\u201d Carlo three consecutive seasons, and pald all his hot! bills and exe penses by playing th system In the manner described.However, ut the very beginning af the fourth season, he Jost the whole 25,000fr., which was considerably more than \u2018the total amount of his winnings.Still, the player does stand some chance of winning if he employs this system, Wherens by playing without any system at all, aa I have before stated, there is absolutely no chance of winning at all.[to Sir Wilffia Laurier, its traditions and associations are not those of the ' Liberal party.Of La Patrie, for many .Years an exponent of\u2019 Liberalism\u2019 in- this field, !t requires but a-cursory- reading of recerit pronouncements, both editorial and -personal, to account for - the feeling on the part of the Liberal leaders that perfect\u2018 dependence cannot .be placed upon - thät paper as a medium through *which\u2014t| oon be.kept in touch with.Liberal opinion, Liberal opinion.must have some point the people of the \u2018Montreal \"district; therefore, we \u2018have this new venture.It is a perfectly \u2018natural ang logical development, one which should surprise ño one, and of which no one should feel called upon to complain, \u2026 It should be added that the paper -begins under the best auspices, so far | at least as its main object is concerned.| Mr.Langlois, who has been marked out.from the first as the probable editor, and who has now been formally appointed, has won his spurs as editor of La Patrie in recent years.He has been looked upon as a well-informed writer, a thorough Liberal, and a_keen politician.In his hands the \u201ceditorial conduct of the new paper should be all motive In starting it we have discussed.Its path may not be strewn with roses, but te will keep on the right path.Le of contact.with the daily thinking of | that could_be-tookeä_fôr-bÿthose-whone-!

represented both nationalities and \u2018every walk in life, There were people who by tesining and educution wore well qualified to appreciate the wonderful voice and technidul wkill of the wrent

ond paying ua tribute of respectful adipirition to the woman who In the greatest vocal artist this country hus produced, \u2018 1 wan not a coldly -erttienl audience, but a guthering of warni-henrted friends of Madame Albani.That fact became npparent when she first npe peared.Before she sang si note the audience arone ind extended a spone taneous and tumultuous welcome.After cvery song there was un repetition of the demonstration, and an Invarl- able encore.On each accasion the des mnnd wan griciously granted.Every seat in the hall had been obtained long before the day of the concert, and an hundred extra chairs hnd to be pluced on the ntage for those who insisted upor.being given accom- inodatfon.From a musléal point the concert \u2018was & notable one.In ndditien to the great Canadian singer other artists of ulmont equal note fürnished numbers \u2018for the programme.Madame Albani Wan heard in four regular numbers and as many encores, She first sang \u2018Moxart\u2019s \u201cL\u2019Amero,\u201d Mudame Beatrice T.angley playing on obligato on the violin.Madame Albani, sided by a rhorus, under the direction of Professor Couture: next gave Mendelssohn's \u201cHear My Prayer.\u201d A double number, \u201cFour Lenf Clover\u201d and The Birda Ko North Again,\u2019 by Willeby, were the next, and the last number was the prayer and aria \u201cL'Estace de Ia Vierge,\u201d by Massenet.For thls Mr.Jchn Cheshire played a harp obligato.The programme wns opened by the \u201cKreutzer Sonata\u2019 of Beethoven\u2019 rendered with great skill and feeling by Mndame Reatrice Langley on the violin and Miss Adela Verne: on the piano.\u2018The harpist, Mr.Cheshire, pluyed as a So Wagner's \u201cStar of Love.\u201d A triple-plano number from Scartatti was delightfully -given by Miss Adela Verne.Miss Katharine Jones showed the superb qualities of a fine contralto voice in Lambert's \u201cA Barque at Midnight and Lawson's \"Leezie Lindaay.\u201d The numbers which appealed most strongly to the feelings of' the audi-.encé were two ancores by\u2019 Madame.Al- bani, \u201cThe Last Rose of Sum \"and \u201cSouvenirs du Jeune Age.\u201d - Mr.Albert Archdeacon, the baritone, who was to have been heard in several numbers, wis indlspesed and could\u2019'not appear.As many could not get meats for last night's concert, - arrangements: have been made

priest, who allows himself to be accused and convicted of murder rather than violate the sanctity of the confessional, to which the wife of the real murderer had previously entrusted the secret, gives

the simple, \"kindly nature of the good priest is convincingly portrayed, the struggle between his feeble humanity and the Inspiration of his high calling, the horror of being branded as a criminal in the eyea of his beloved parishioners and of enduring the shame of a felon's death; the pathos wit.which he bids good-bye to his peaceful presbytery, | his garden and his flowers, and the lofty yet

defence, and Messrs.J.P.Cooke, and $.W.Jacobs.for the prose- ' eution.Thos.F.Milloy, the nominal .complainant in the case wis the first witness, He said.that he had heard Wener and Hart admit that they had received $525 and $200 vespectivély from Weber for going bail for Komicnsky.He had heard that Ko- mienaky raised this money on his stock when he wus insolvent, but did not know it to be the tacts When asked what interest he had in the case, he replied that he had been retained by Mr.$, ,W.Jacobs as a detective, When this witness had been heard Mr.(ireenshields asked that Mr.Wener and Mr.Hart be put in the box immediately, as he felt sure that their evidence would convince the .judge that there was.not even a prima facie cage against them.They\u2019 were.Very anxious not to he delayed as they were about to sail for Engalnd, And Mr.Greenshields held that even if every- true, it would not make a case.against them.The prosecution objected- to this on the ground that they had
