Fri- jay night, in St.Andrew's Home par- ore.and made rather a quaint figure, as he recited his paean to \u2018Fair Canada,\u2019 giving ft also in the Gaelic.He was poartily applauded, and the audience +15 the largest that has ever assem- pied in the Home parlors.Mr.James Harper.president, was in the chalr, and with him en the platform were rol.A.A.Stevenson, Mr.James Wright and Mr.J.M.Campbell, past president, and Mr.Robert Reid, the poet laureate of the society.who thrilled his hearers with the lines of \u2018Kirkbride,\u2019 his beau- fful poem, recited by special request of the president.Col.Stevenson refer- ~d to the lack of segting capacity, and the necessity of a larger hall to accommodate the growinz numbers of those 0 whom these gatherings were not only r°creative and pleasure-giving, but instructive and educative.A larger hall was a neoessgity, and should be had as soon as possible.The number of ladies and children present was specially alluded to by the president, the little folk getting .a hearty greeting.-After piper McCrae had given some excellent selections: on the bagpipes.Prof.Aves save a Splendid performance on the pano.Mr.Geo.Harley was highly en- ertaining with two recitations, Miss NacDougall, Master Bain, Miss Mec- Lean and Miss Kerrigan, sang songs, all of which were well received.Master pain's song, \u201cThe Lights far Out

which ware marvellous.\u2018Auld Lang 8yne\u2019 and the Netional Anthean closed the social.THE SONS OF BENJAMIN.A NEW LODGE FORMED.Interesting and important public functions took place in Montreal yesterday among the Hebrew members of the community.A new lodge of the order of the Sons of Benjamin was formed in the city.The Hon.F.Levy, the well-known philanthropist of New York, was expected to

chiefly intn the Tinies as citizens of Canada and the United States.The order made no dls- tinetions of race.Members must be respectable and law-abiding.The order numbers 16,000 members\u2014159

who \"itll not speak English; they could do Tow.The order taught his race to Lcome good citizens.He was not go- \u2018RS to talk polities, but the cry at pre- ITU was honest government and an harest

they had such a man as the Hon.Mr.Levy at their head was itself an endorsement of its aims to educate the Hebrew race and to make them good citizens, and alsc to help them in a way that would not be mere alms- giving, which often degraded, instead of doing good.He paid a high tribute to the grand master, who, he said, had saved hundreds of poor Hebrews from being sent back to darkest Russia.The Rev.Meldola de Sola expressed the hope that other lodges would soon be opened.The Rav.Rabbi Veld, as the representative of the reform congregation, with all his heart endorsed the work of the society.They have dcne a great honor to themselves by naming the new lodge after the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen, for in them we find two teachers and philanthropists, not only for their own race, but for all.In the evening a banquet was held in the Queen's Hall.Grand .Secretary Rosenberg was presented with an illuminated address and there were some first-class specches.Among the speakers were Mr.Max Goldstein and Rabbi Friedlander.THE MISSION TO SHANTYMEN.The Rev.R.C.Brewer, Anglican missionary at River Desert to \u2018the lumbermen of the Upper Gatineau, was the speaker yesterday

was occupied by the Rev.Dr.Chintquy, who preached an impressive sermon on the power of the Bible and the necessity of a knowledge of the divine words contained in the sacred baok, They should beware of those who sald that the Bible was a dangerous book.It was semt for the consclation of the poor and ignorant as well as the rich and learned.It was the most precious of books; as far above the ord'nary Indges | Writings of men as the sun was above among \u2018the male and seventeen among: the stars.The preacher concluded with an eloquent prayer that this eoun- try, \u2018Dear Canada,\u201d might soon be blessed by the free propagation of the Word of God among its people and that every house and family might have the Bible as their guide.Mr.Hector occupied the pulpit in the Dominion

dogs.At and aftr the meeting held in Fraser Hall Mr.Hector continu>d his powerful arraignments of the ligior traffic.His expositi-m of the curse was proncuncsd to be one of the most thrilling ever delivered in Montreal.Que man wha was engaged in the liquor business and who was present, said it was the most convincing argument he had ever heard on the subject.There were present many young men

round the mountain they proceeded across the river to St: Lambert, where they were well looked after by Mr.and Mrs.W.B.Powell.The ladies were all charmed with their outing.Mr, Jos.C.Wray ccrnducted the party and was deservedly praised for the excellence of the arrangements.A special union prayer meeting was held jn St.Matthew's Church last Thursday evening, the Congreguwtional, Methodist and Baptist Churches joining with them.A special prayer meeting was held in the parlors cf the Centenary Church this afternoon under the auspices of the W.C.T.U., who are taking a deep interest in this part of the city for the coming of the Rev.B.Fay Mills in February.The \u2018Black Knight\u2019 told the story of his life at the weekly concert in Unity Hall, on Saturday night, under the au- gpices of the St.Lawrence Council, No.6, R.T.of T.Before concluding he made a reference to the plebiscite in Ontario, which he considered very satisfactory to the temperance party.The concert given under the auspices of the Ladies\u2019 Broom Brigade of Grace Church in the Grand Trunk Literary and Sclentific Institute last week proved a successful one.There was a large number of friends and members of the congregation.The chair was occupied by the rector, the Rev.Dr.Ker.The programme, which was well rendered, consisted of vocal and instrumental music, tableaux and exercises by the \u2018broom

ernor.We know, moreover, that Mr.Taillon will be made a senator, which office he will hold until Judge Plamon- don (how things follow one another!) is placed on the superannuation list.\u2019 On the other hand, the \u2018Minerve\u2019 says, this morning:\u2014\u2018Our confrere is wrongly informed.Mr.Talillon never tendered his resignation as Prime minister, and haz not the intention to do so.\u2019 A leading politician of Quebec, in conversation, on Saturday, sald it was an open secret that the Premier of the province had tendered his resignation, but that the Lieutenant-Governor had declined to receive it, as a change at this.time would bé most embarrassing to\u2019 | th drivment \u2018You: see- therg \u2018is \u2018no : thoNY \u201c3-0: Cébimet ahd \u201cthere | are already

ablest man in the Cabinet.There is another section pulling the wires for Mr.Pelletier, but he is a political impossibility so far as the premiership is concerned.Then \u2018the Ottawa minority will not allow a change at present.The (Government though in possession of a large majority has many elements of waakness, and ddes not le on a bed of roses.The latest difficulty it has to face is the very item which did so much to bring about the fall of the Mercier Government.There was $23,000 advanced for the Baie des Chaleurs Railway by the Ontario Bank, and diverted.The Ontario Bank is now pressing the Government for the repayment of this sum.But you may rest assured that the Premier will De in his place not a moment longer than he is obliged by his polftical friends to remain there.He has placed on record lately his dislike for politics, and the politics he has had to swallow are of a particularly nauseous character sometimes.\u2019 .me TASSE AGAIN AT IT.OBJECTS TO DR.CHINIQUY BEING VENERABLE The \u2018Minerve\u2019 publishes the following paragraphs: \u2018The \u2018Mail\u2019 calls Chiniquy \u2018\u201c\u201cthe venerable ex-priest.\u2019.If white whiskers render venerable, Chiniquy is decidedly so, for he is more than octogenarian, being 84 years old.But if our confrere means to say that he is \u2018\u201cvenerable'\u2019 by his piety and his virtues, we disagree with it.Sacrilege never yet rendered anyo.e \u2018\u2018venerable.\u201d That is a terrible abuse of the word.The \u2018Mail\u2019 calls Chiniquy an \u2018\u2018ex-priest.\u201d\u201d We have already established that the character of the priext is indelible, whatever his vices, his shame and his crimes may be.Once a priest, always a priest.\u2018Tu es sacer- dos in aeternum\u2019\u201d'\u201d ENDORSED BY A CHICAGO PRIEST.The \u2018Minerve\u2019 publishes the following letter reccived from Chicago: \u2018I congratulate you for execrating so bravely the apostates and all the traitors to our race.The sympathy which you received is well deserved.The \u2018Minerve\u2019 is more than ever armed cap a pie and ready to cleave the enemies of faith and country.Such is the part of a Christian journai- ist and of a representative of the Conservative party.which, if it be true to its name, must be the friend of order and right, More than ever the \u2018Minerve\u2019 has an opportunity to resume the position which has been denied it in latter years, and to frankly set up its unshaken attachment tn the Church, to our language, to our liberties, to everything that constitutes our

candidature of Mezsrs.R.Wilson Smith and T.Goff Penny.Mr.E.A.Cowley presided.Mr.R.Minogue, speaking for several cabmen on the Mance street sand, announced that the stand would voluntarily furnish eleven cabs on election day.Mr.H.B.Ames defended the objects of the league.They had 160 trusty young men in St.Antoine Ward to man the polls, forty in St.Ann's, and fifty in St.Gabriel.They needed seventy- five in St.Lawrence.He constdered the representatives of B*.Lawrence Ward as objectionable as any in the Council.He could take them to a store on Bleury' street where none man had voted sixteen times for Ald.James.This sort of thing must be stopped.Mr.W.E.Doran quoted from the Archbishop's pastoral that a vote was a solemn duty for which a man was responsible to God.He considered Ald.| James and Ald.Griffin honorable men, but \u2018held that they had not acted for the best interests of the city.Mr.F.Wolferstan Thomas sald he had never before attended a municipal meeting but

from the recent lettens in your valued paper (the answers to which were given by the Pre- gident of the Volunteer Electoral League), that its platform is misunder- gtood.It is composed of strong, e\u20acar- nest young men of all shades of pol- tical and religious opinion, and of many racial elements; in {ts ranks are liberal, radical and socialistic thinkers, and those of the opposite and more conservative school.It can be readily understood that with so many shades of opinion no \u2018fad\u2019 or \u2018ism\u2019 would or could be tolerated.Its line of cohesion and of action is in the broad view of the practical needs and qualification tor public life as expressed in tlie following objects: b.\u201cTo encourage the nomination of candidates of known integrity for public office.\u2019 c.'To use all legitimate means to secure their return.\u2019 111.\u201cIt has no.desire to nominate candidates unless forced to it by the apathy of citfzens.\u2019 While no candidate would have its support that could not stand being judged by tthig rule, yet, as in every thing else there are grades of flinese and goodness,the league \u201cn the measure of sense at its disposal is wisc enough not to demand impossible perfection, and very wisely again throw the Te- sponsibility of the choice of candidates where it properly belongs, i.e,, the electorate excepting always when they neglect to do this duty.\\ For okvious reasons it is extremely difficult to induce fit men to accept office in the City Council, and all credit and help should be extended to those who.are ready to sacrifice their time, interests and often inclinations, without demanding ali perfection.And now a plea for the \u2018League.Their work is arduous, sgelf-sacrificing, wth no more hope of reward thah duty done.It requires a large expenditure of time to cover a large ward such as St.Antoine, sub-divide it all in divisions over which is placed a responsible head, who in turn has under him a small body for each palling distriot for whose work he is held responsible, and the selection of keen, alert and intaligent men for this work, instructing them in all its phases so that on the day of election its weakest ilnk will bear the strain.This covers two months hard work.Surely, Mr, Iditor, this deserves better than the captious eriticism of those who demand that thor favorita \u2018ism\u2019 should ke the prominert qualification and abuse the League because (t is not 80.A misrepresentation cf a recent speaker deserves.some notice in hi3 um- called for and untruthful

indeed is, in my humble opinion, absolutely necessary that the greatest caution and conservatism be exercised in order to avoid disaster.I am convinced that the border line of safety has been reached, which if exceeded js sure to result in a retroaction, from which it will take years to recover.I am as much {in favor of publle improvements as any man, but I believe in spending the p#ople's money economically, and in accordance with the natural growth and progress of the city.I want to see applied to the management of civic affairs the same methods that are commonly applied to private business.It will be my earnest effort to see that all contracts are granted with due regard to the rights and Interests of the citizens, and also that contractors and companies, golding civic contracts, are compelled to fulfil thelr obligations to the letter.F3.Instance, the Street Railway Company should no more be permitted to evade the conditions of its contract with regard to the providing of sufficient accommodation for the public, or the making of the winter roads passable for citi- zeñs\u2019 vehicles than a contractor who submits a tender for a certain quality of material should he permitted to supply an inferior article.ft It is only by strict attention to such details as these that the burden of \u2018general taxation can be lightened, the city\u2019s credit maintained, end a safe progressive policy of city improvements carried out.I have felt thet some cxplanation of my views was due to those electors of the ward whose personal acquaintance I have not the pleasure of having made, : : 1 have the honor to be, Your obedient servant, BR.WILSON SMITH.\u2018Housefurnishings, &c.ARPET LAYING, UPHOL- -/ STERING, ete.\u2014Carpets Cut, Made and Laid, Lifted and Peaten, Shndes, Spring_ Rollers, etc, sup- \u20ac plied an pa up.resses can be retu anne ay.HENRY HAMMOND, 222 and .2%4 St.Urbain street.18 years with Thomas Mussen, Keg.Furai- ture repafred.Orders attended to gonally.Te phone foes.n personally a J = TOWNSHEND, HEADQUARTERS FOR -BUDDING, Ring up 1908 for experienced man to call respecung PRESSING and PURIFYING Bed Feathers and PURIFYING and REMAKING ;

but in addition educational visitors had the benefit of saparate school exhibits from forty-four states, which were under Roman Catho- Me regime.As regarded England, she made no exhibit, proper specimens being merely sent in from London and South Ken- sington.Taking the United States exhibit as a whole, Mr.Parmalee led his audience to infer that their educational system was by no means so far-reaching and thorough as én several of the coun- tres of Europe.He had found, for instance that photography entered very comap.cuously into the method of exhibits, giving the likenesses of a large number of alleged educators, but giving little or mothing of the results of the work done by them.He (Mr.Parmalee) felt at & loss to discern the lessons to be derived from this photographic system.Our own exhibit was in many respects quite equal to it, if mot better, as to solid work accomplished by pupils.The speaker then referred to the exhibits of France and Germany, giving the palm in every sense to France.Germany pro- i bably came next.The speaker then de- ' tailed at length, and very graphically, i the whole French system as laid down i to bim by the French Government 1 agents alluded to a9 in charge of the section.Most conspicuous in that system was the socialistic plan of school government.Local boards of instruc- : tion to prescribe subjects to be learned by the pupils were unknown.If a certain item was \"0 be taught, the Minister of Instruction sent out the order and every school in the country had that item and it was taught.The schools were strictly secular.The grading was by pupil not by class.In France actual school work began im the very cradle and continued to the finish, and at [ Chicago work might be seen by pupils of two years old.The system was such that a dally record of every boy's exercise in school was kept in a book.This book was, at the end of every few weeks, carefully laid away and the whole at the end of say, three years, or when thé boy completed his schooling, was compiled tato a volume.The volume, 5\" & specimen one of which (about twice i the size of Lovell\u2019s Directory) Mr.Par- uw melee exhibited to the audience, was ; .kept by the Government.It contained a phot of the boy when he began .school, with a short account of his un family, his age and the .clrcumstances gL of his entering, together with his character during his term at the school, aptitude, etc.Thus the Government was enabled to keep an eye on every pupil that entered and went out of its schools and on the other hand the boy could refer to his \u2018record\u2019 in Government possession for character at future time.Mr.Parmalee noticed that the handwriting of the French pupils as exhibited, was peculiarly good.This, however, would seem to be outcome of the French national character.He at the same \u2018me found mot a few mistakes in the exercises, the teachers also having made mistakes in the corrections.The establishment of government là braries in connection with every school É of any size was à very important fea- > ture in system.Invariably there were two of these; one for the pupils, generally of about six hundred volumes carefully selected to the various ages of the pupils, and one for the teachers as well selected.Strong efforts were being made to reform the system of athletic exercises.Reference was made to the paternal care exercised by the French Government for the infant classes as well as fn providing food for the poorer pupils at school.\u2018Nurse teachers\u2019 took charge of all pupils from the age of two to gix, and whose business was to see to their physical wants as well as mental instruction.In the towns a pupil could go to what was Known as the \u2018school ; canteen,\u2019 the-schools being as much as 0 - possible in groups, where he could pro- eure a plate of hot soup and meat and vegetables for a sum of from one to thres cents.Tickets were issued for these meals, and If a pupil was too poor to pay the amount he got the food for nothing.As for the \u2018general lessons\u2019 E: Chicago educational exhibit, the speak- .er could only say that the chief lesson : was that the same drawbacks existed in the United States and in fact many A other countries, as regarded the teach- 5 ing profession, &s in our own Domi- E nion.He had been told of a teacher in § one state getting $10 a year.It was Ry.not, however, for the teacher to der spair; he feared that till government made the salaries such as to encourage candidates to prepare themselves more thoroughly matters would stand as they j EE a att as Ph cl Je erage eyo Ee of the Rev.Mr.Rexford, principal of the High School.Mr.E.W.Arthy read a brief essay at the opening and also a poem of his own, \u2018Mount Royal ; songs were sung by Mr.Crawford and Mrs.Scott Peacock, all of which were applauded, as were also Mr.Rexford\u2019s remarks commendatory of Mr.Parmalee\u2019s address, at the close.\u2014_\u2014 THE KING'S DAUGHTERS AND SONS.The quarterly meeting of the King'e Daughters and Sons will be held in the Y.W.C.A.Rooms, 101 Metcalfe street, on Thursday evening, Jan.25, at eight o'clock.The Rev.G.Osborne Troop will occupy the chair.A large attendance is earnestly desired.{ were.The speaker was frequently applauded.The chair was occupied by the.THE EASTERN C.P.R.STATION.(To the Editor of the \u2018Wlitness.') Sir,\u20141 am reported in your paper of last night to have said that the projected C.P.R.station at Dalhousie square was \u2018a speculation of real estate owners.\" I said, on the contrary, that it would fulfil the original intentions of the Ottawa Government which, through the influence and exertions of the late Sir George Cartier, had almost given away the immense grounds, the extensive and solid buildings of the military and cavalry karracks, for the express purpose of the grand head station of the Pacific Railway.I added that, in that part of the city the company could obtain any space of land for storage budld- ings, shunting car sheds of any dimensions and dwellings and cheap facilities for the majority of its employees.It cannot be denied that Dalhousie square is the most prominent and splendid central plateau of our city, hence its former site as the \u2018Citadel.\u2019 Its view extends from Varennes to Laprairie, reaching every mountain, to the farthest eastern horizon.J.C.ROBILLARD.Montreal, Jan.20, 1894.THE MUNICIPAL CONTEST.SPEECHES BY THE ASPIRANTS TO THE MAYORALTY.The speechmaking after the nominations on Saturday was of the usual lively kind.Ex-Mayor McShane got first choice, and, having read his printed speech about the same as published, in French, did some extemporizing.He declared that, as always, he intended, if elected, to work for the people, and not for any class or clique.He spoke of the auda- clous attempt to wrest from the people their most sacred privilege\u2014the liberty of electing the first magistrate by popular votey This attempt had been directed against himself, personally.Speaking of the papers, he declared them all against him, but said that he had a stronger force than the press at hig back, viz.\u2018the people.The press on February 1 would see how useless all its effonts against McShane were.He thanked Messrs.Hall, Mercier and their friends for not permitting the attempt to deprive the people of their right to vote to succeed.He then offered to .8hake hands with Mr.Villeneuve, and no matter which won\u2014to shake hands when the elections are over.After saying he would never be crushed, that he was an Irish Catholic, etc, he sat down.Ald.Villeneuve stated that he had only yielded to great pressure when he had consented \u2018to run as Mayor.His friends were anxious to have a French-Canadian in the civic chair.With respect to opposition at Quebec, no one had worked harder than the speraker to conserve the rights of the people.Mr.McShane knew this.The Montreal members had decided to sacrifice the clause relating to the east end depot rather than allow citizens to be deprived of their rights.What right had Mr.McShane to come before the people to-day?When Mr.McShane had opposed Mr.Grenier the French-Canadians - had supported ; Mr.McShane, who had then said he wbuld be satisfied with one term.If the people believed that the understanding between the races should be respected, the speaker\u2019s return by a large majority was certain.Mr.McShane had said that not more than five Itish Catholics would vote for Ald.Villeneuve\u2014 Mr.McShane\u2014No, never.Ald.Villeneuve\u2014 \u2018The statement appeared in the \u2018Witness\u2019 and \u2018Herald.\u201d You never denied it, although you had ample time.\u201d Ald.Villenueve went on to show that the Hon.Edward Murphy and many other Irish Catholics intended voting for him.Let the Irish Catholics remember the unwritten compact.The French-Canadians could exclude their English-speakinz feliows from all share in public offices and dignities if they wished.Yet they never abused the power which superiority in numbers gave \u2018them.The speaker gave his word of honor, if elected, to withdraw at the end of his term, and give his support to the Engtish- Ald.Prefontaine expressed his gratitude to Hochelaga for his election by acclamation.He also announced that he withdrew from St.Denis Ward in consequence.As chairman of Roads, he had tried to render justice to ail.Reproaches had been his, and no one was perfect.If he had unwittingly committed errors in the past he would try to do better in the future.Ald.Kennedy said he had been sorry to hear Mr.McShane give all the praise for -what had happened at Quebec to Messrs.Hall and Mercier.In point of fact no man fought harder for Montreal than Ald.Villeneuve and the speaker.The Council was called a band of bood- lers and adventurers, but he challenged any man to say that Ald.Kennedy ever got a dollar he did not honestly eam.His opponent, he declared, was brought out by a clique and sald.Mr.Phelan would curse the day they brought him out.Mr.Martin Phelan, who opposes Ald.Kennedy, denied being the representative of any clique.He pointe® with pride to his record in this city for the past twenty years and said he was not a good hand at cursing.Aldermen Leclerc, Savignac, and Re- neault, and Messrs.Grothe and Bayard also delivered addresses.The following is a corrected list of the persoms nominating Ald.Villeneuve: Sir Donald Smith, the Hon.Edward Murphy, Jacques Grenier, A.F.Gault, Hugh McdLennan, W.W.Ogilvie, Andrew Allan, the Hon.Horace Archam- bault, Henry Hogan, Francois Marti- neau, M.P.P., Damase Parizeau, M.P.P., H.Beaugrand, Ald.J.C.Robert, T.Berthiaume, Ald.Prefontaine, Mayor Desjardins, and many

Lefort, who was in her &th year.Mr.Brossard \u2018had been ill for a long time, and his wife's death was caused by over exertion at his bedside.They had been married 49 years and were universally

Editor of the \"Witness.\u201d) Sir \u2014Some days ago a report was passed by the Council appropriating $13,000 to pave Notre Dame street east.Following promptly upon this action is a public advertisement for an asphalt pavement, to be tendered for on \u2018the 24th January next.The district to be paved Is from Dalhousie square to Papineau avenue.There is no doubt the contract will be awarded to the Sicilian Asphalt Company, Mr.James Cochrane manager.It is important that the project should be carried into effect immediately.The new Council might conclude to use the presant granite blocks, whiich were laid in 1884.The roadway was Jaid from Monarque street to Lacroix street in first-class style, with syenite blocks, and concrete foundation, under the supervision of the Road Department, covered an area of 8,742 yards and \u2018cost $24,232 or $2.77 a square veard.It is true that the street has been widetied.The old stone blocks could be used again.They are as good as new.At any rate, consider $139,000 for paving the street from Lacroix to Papineau square.Assuming that there is double the number of yards to pave crew\u2014l7,482 yards at the estimate as reported would be over eight dollars a yard for paving.Every taxpayer is interested in completely changing the old regime of aldermen.If the old set continue to control the Council double taxation must be the result.Mr.Robb, in his evidence before the Private Bills Committee, at Quebec, fixed the liabilities at $24,600,000.\u2018The valuation of taxable property in 1893 having been $113,463,195.This would mean that over 21 percent of its value will be hypothecated.for debt.In addition to this the city contributes to the provincial revenue 985,435 out of a total of $1,456,042.So that Montreal, besides contributing to its own indebtedness, contributes nearly two-thirds of the provincial taxation.Ald.Prefontaine was introduced with the Hochelaga ward annexation in Dec., 1883.The total liabilities at that date were $11,940,067.In December, 1893, they are represented to have been $24,600,000.A specimen of what we may expect is to be found in the financial exhibit of 1892: DR.Cost of

be sent for with a carriage, and the gentlemen who are signing candidates\u2019 requisitions simply because they can sell them hoop irom and springs had better consider their other customers, who will surely suffer by increased taxaition.\u2018 G.W., STEPHENS.\u2014 THE OLD BREWERY MISSION.PRESENTATION TO MR.M\u2019CONICA.There was an all-round grand concert and a presentation at the Old Brewery

\u2014_ + THE WILSON BILI, DEBATE.AN ATTEMPT TO INCRKASE THE DUTY ON CANADIAN LIME DEFEATED.Washington, Jan.20.\u2014 During the tariff debate in the House, to-day, Mr.Brookshire (Dem.from Indiana) spoke in favor of the Wilson bill, holding that its passage would not result in Canadian goods coming to this country for the reason that Canada did not produce all she needed for herself.Mr.Payne (Rep.New York) replied to the assertions of Mr.Brookshire, and said the state of Indiana was not likely to feel the ill effects of the Wilson bill in Canadian competition as keenly as New York on account of proximity of the two countries on the New York border.Mr.Dingley (Republican, Maine) offered an amendment changing the tariff on lime from ten percent ad valorem to six cents per hundred pounds.He said that manufacturers of lime had gone over into Canada and purchased lime quarries there rather than pay the higher American wages, and he wanted a tariff put on lime sufficient to compensate for this difference in wages.The tariff proposed in the Wilson bill] was so low that lime might just as well have been put on the free list.Everything that went into the manufacture of lime was labor.He presented figures of the cost of the production of lime in this country and the cost in Canada, showing that thirteen and a half cents was the lowest difference that can be estimated and that this difference is due to the fact that lime manufacturers here pay $2 to $2.25 per day for labor against $1 to $1.25 in Canada, and that the proposed reduction of the tariff would cripple the industry here and necessitate a reduction of wages.Mr.Talbot (Democrat, Maryland) asserted that lime did not need a higher protection than ten percent ad valorem.Mr.Martin (Democrat, Indiana) spoke against an increase of the duty on lime.The vote was then taken on Mr.Ding- ley\u2019s amendment and it was lost by a standing vote of 68 in the affirmative and 11 in the negative.e\u2014\u2014 DROWNED WHILE SKATING.SAD DEATH OF A DUNDAS YOUNG LADY.Dundas, Ont., Jan.20.\u2014A most distressing drowning accident occurred on the canal here this afternoon, through which one young lady lost her life and two others had a very dose call.The recent rains had flooded over the ice and covered all the rough spots, making it tke a sheet of glass, and crowds were enjoying a skate this afternoon.No bad spots In the ice were noticed except one near the second inlet, where a hole was plainly visible and all avoided it by keeping to the opposite side of the canal except three young :adies, Miss Clark, Miss McKay and Miss Ross, who, while going down the canal this afternoon, did not notice the hole and skated into it.A young man named Wyatt saw the accldent, and securing a plank hurried to the spot and succeeded In rescuing Miss McKay and Viiss Cla k.Miss Ross was keeping herself up by having her hands on Miss Clark's shoulders, but to allow Miss Clark to gat out with the aid of the plank, she removed her hands and missed catching the edge of the fice and went under it.JIer body was recovered about an hour and a half \u2018afterwards.-\u2014e\u2014\u2014\u2014 A CHURCH IN ASHES.Moncton, N.B., Jan.21.\u2014St.John's Church here, one of the handsomest Presbyterian churches in the Maritime Provinces, was totally destroyed by fire last night.The entire church, furniture, together with three organs and school library, was also destroyed.The loss is heavy;
