and liveliest in the history of the company.The room at the Ottawa street works, jn which the meeting was held, was crowded with shareholders.It was easy to see that there was something of &pe- cial importance on hand, and it soon became evident what the dominating ldea of the meeting was and where ral interest was centred.They were there to vote, and many could not restrain their impatience while the other business of the meeting Was being dis- SE #0 anxious, Were.Ahoy JLo, ballot 5 CP i = INE Rg BY \"Every little while - Some one wold rise and ask why.the voting could not be proceeded with, and continually \u2018Vote I\u2019 \u2018vote was being called out from all sides.However the callousness of Mr.Jesse Joseph, the president, who oocupled the chair, to all of these cries and demands enabled the general business to be disposed of before the balloting began.At the time of going to press the voting bad not concluded, but the general consensus of opinion was that the following ticket was the successful one: H.8.Holt, Hugh Mo Lennan, Robert McKay, Hector Mac- kensie, John Crawford.Some doubt was expressed as to the two latter gentiemen, but the feeling appeared to be unanimous that Messrs.Holt, McLennan and McKay d be on the board, of directors for the following year.The first business aftér the opening of the meeting was the reading of the directors\u2019 report, which was as follows: \u2014 DIRECTORS\u2019 REPORT FOR 1893-4 The directors beg to submit the accompanying statement of accounts of the company for the year ending Feb.28, 1894:\u2014 Two semi-annual dividends of six percent each, amounting to $299,724.48 bave been declared.CONSUMPTION OF GAS.While the numbsr of consumers, both for lighting and heating has increased, the consumption of gas shows a falling off, caused partly by the general depression of trade as well as the higher illuminating power of the gas supplied, which has ranged from twenty Zo twenty- two oandles.\u2018 \u2018RESIDUALS.3 ip etn CHa Re: Es the decreased \u2018quitntity of coal carbonized (about one-third less)since the introduction of the Wilkinson process of oil gas, one of the latest and the most improved system known by which gas of a higher illuminating power can be produced.The various works of construction referred to in previous report, and which have been in progress for the last three years, both at Hochelaga and Ottawa street, are now finally completed, the manufacturing capacity of the company is now sufficient for many years to come.Eight miles of ns and services have been laid during The past season.To meet the outlay that bas been incurred in construction of the works, it will be necessary to increase the capital stock of the company, and a resolution to that effect will be submittea at the annual meeting for the approval of the shareholders.The officers and clerks have discharged their several duties with satisfaction to the board.The following directors retire by rotation and are eligible for re-election, viz.:\u2014Messrs.Hugh McLennan, Alex.Urquhart, Hon.L.R.Masson and Robt.Mackay.° : The report was explained at considerable length by Mr.Joseph.The cause of the increased expense, he.said, was that people wanted high illuminating power, and this could not be furnished unless they did as they were doing now.This was bad from the shareholders\u2019 joint of view for the present, but it would pay them in the end.Their works were now equal te-any on the continent.They had all the latest improvement, and from henceforth the many extraordinary expenses would be ended.In reply to Messrs.Meeker and.Marler whether the interest had been paid, Mr.Joseph explained that last year this was entered in the statement as a separate item, wbereas this year it had been charged direct to profit and loss.During last year they had paid interest on bonds, $14,786, and on special loans, $19,- 144, After a discussion on several items and explanations by Mr.Joseph, the report was adopted without opposition.- The president then suggested that power be given the directors to increase the stock from two and a-half to three million dollars.This increase was required to wipe off a floating indebtedness of over $285,000, and to provide working capital for the future.Mr.McLennan suggested that the issue of this new stock be left to the discretion of the directors, and with this incorporated into a regular motion, the resolution was carried unanimously.Here the demand that the voting be proceeded with became so general that \u2018t was utterly impossible to discuss any- \u2018hing further.Mr.Boas rose in the midst of the uproar and gave notice of several motions for the next meeting.They were, that anplication be made to Yarliament to amend the by-laws; that qualification for \u2018rectors be fixed at one hunared shares, not less; that directors retire\u2019 annually; \u2018hat every share have a vote.In the general confusion no one paid ny attention and Mr.Boas had to re- \u201ceat his notice privately to the secre- \u2018-ry to have them entered in the min- ve, Then there was a general *~-amble for ballots and a rush for the balloting room.As announced above FINS ol aibutel to the voting had not concluded when the writer withdrew.THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT.The working account from Feb.28, 1893 to Feb.28, 1894, shows an outlay of $380,631.91,

in Montreal busineas circles, it is safe to say, for half a century, was born in Berthier.His father, Henry Joseph, saw active military service in 1812-14, and afterwards fell a victim to the cholera of 1832.Mr.Joseph's early business life was spent as a general merchant and his success was great, especially ain the Belgian trade.He was appointed 'Belgian Consul forty years ago.He is a chevalier of the Order of Leopold, and the Belgian King further conferred honor upon him by giving him in 1890 the Decoration of the Civique of the First Class.Mr.Joseph was the earliest of the pioneers in the trade between Antwerp and Montreal, and succeeded so well that he retired from active commercial pursuits in 1864.He was a warm friend of Mesrs.YWi- son, and Penny, the publishers of.: Herald,\u2019 in the tam end Pr MR.JESSE JOSEPH.sident of the Gas Company in 1877, and the Company prospered very greatly.The lighting quality of gas increased under his presidency from 17 to 22 candle power; the works increased four fold their capacity, and the Company\u2019s dividend increased from 8 percent per ann to 12 percent, where .it stands to-day.Mr.Joseph is not being pushed out of the presidency of the Company, his friends assert, and in proof of this point to his support of Mr.Holt\u2019s ticket, Mr.Joseph who has $80,000 worth of stock in the Company supporting it and remaining on the board of direction to give the new president the benefit of his experience for a time.Mr.Joseph has\u201c been president of the Street Railway Company, which he retired from a year or more since.He has been for years a director of the Montreal Tèle- graph Company, was one of the original directors of the Peoples Telegraph Company, and member of the board of the Banque Nationale.On the Stock Exchange and in the financial world Mr.Jesse Joseph's is a well known face, and he has had the best reputation for shrewdness, ability and a correct appreciation of financial problems.His kindness of heart showed in detestation of cruelty to the Street Railway horses, he having declared against the use of the whip, though he could not prevent its surreptitious use.He has a fondness for dogs, and his walks abroad with three or four skye terriers at his heels on summer evenings from his home on Sherbrooke street are among his peculiar pleasures.A great many of those who with Mr.Jesse Joseph helped to build up Montreal, haw passed from the scene long since, but, he has many warm friends in the business community always glad to meet and chat with him on questions of the day in which he is usually well informed.His work for the Spanish and Portuguese Jews is understood and is also appreciated by them.Pa MR.HOLT, THE NEW CMIEF.WHILE DESIRING DIVIDENDS, HE WILL BE DISPOBED TO SATISFY THE

support.\u2018l see they say I am an Irishman,\u2019 said the prospective president of the Gas Company, laughingly, as he looked over the papers in his beautiful home on Stanley street this morning.* That is true enough, but what has nationality to do with it ?\u201d Mr.Holt is a native of \u2018dear, dirty Dublin\u2019 He went to school there, and to zollege, and finally took his degree ns civil

new undertakings, he has found time to build himself a lordly mansion at the base of the mountain, where, lifted above the struggle and passion of the street, the eye and spirit may be refreshed by a bit of wild, sweet nature at the elbow.And time was found to invest in.other mat- ter\u2014gas and iron end electricity.Mr.Holt has invested in gas both in the United States and Montreal; has money in the Dominion Bridge Works\u2014was, Indeed, director of that concern, but retired; is at present a director of.the Royal Electric Company.He knows a great deal about these three things, for his mind, while susceptible to the appeal of the tasteful and the elegant, is of an intensely practical bent; and as the president of the Gas Company, the public are likely to find a thoroughly modern man, who has grown with the growth of idea, whose instincts will always place him in the van of progress, and who, while desiring.lividends, will be disposed to give the public a satisfactory service, In fine, Mr.Holt is an active, strenuous force, successful in his own particular domain; intelligent in all matters of practical moment; a, man who, equipped for a special sphere of work, has passed over the boum s, and become a man of affairs.There might be added an urbane manner, a relish for the details of all business matters with which he is connected; and the new president of the Gas Company would seem a desirable ruler for a big corporation.elf + A FREE BREAKFAST TABLE.TRE TEA AND COFFEE AFFAIR BETTLED FAVORABLY TO THE CONSUMER.Mr.W.J.O'Hara, collector pro tem'at | the pert of Montreal, this

northern section, was given carly this morning, and the indications are that the strikers are making the decisive movement of the strike.A moh of seven hundred men passed Mount Braddock half an hour

other towns along the Youghiogheny River are thoroughly armed, and there is grave talk or organizing a posse and seizing the bridge over the river to prevent the strikers from crossing.Such a move would undoubtedly hasten the pending crisis.It would divide the strikers and prevent concerted action and would also show the foreigners that the 1aw abiding citizens are awake to the situation and will stand no more lawless de- monsirations.The strikers would then hurl their fight or remain divided by the river.The route to be pursuad after crossing the river is not certainly known, but will most likely be to Moyer, which will be-the first plant north of the river to be: attacke The fact that the strikers in the vicinity of Moyer offered no interference last night confirms this theory.\"It is believed the attack on the Moyer plant was not made last night in order that all the strikers in the region can be present when it is made.A report has just reached this place from Valley saying that a flerce riot occurred there this morning, and th3t twelve Hungarians were killed outright and sevral injured.The first disturbance occurred at Moyer at ten o'clock this morning,

Toronto, April 5.\u2014The refusal of Mayor Kennedy to attend the liquor men\u2019s convention and to extend a civic welcome has created considerable excitement.The Mayor told the deputation of liquor men that he would resign the mayoralty before he would bid gpch visitors welcome, The convention is drawing up the oath of membership in the License-holders\u2019 Protective Association.: rtp e THE M'KAND JURIES.ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO BRIBE THEM.New York, April 5\u2014The \u2018Herald\u2019 gives the details of a Pa attempt which was made by means of the wholesale use of money to prevent the conviction or Gravasenders.The chief feature in the revelation is that a determined attempt was made to bribe not only one jury but all the juries which might have been drawn and that the attempt was partially successful.Thanks to the incerruptibili- ty of the majority of the McKane jury, the scheme was laid bare in time to prevent a miscarriage of justice.The names of the men who have confessed are not mentioned in the article, but the \u2018 Herald\u2019 says the confessions were made In writing in the presence of witnesses.arr THE WEATHER REPORT.(Special to the \u201cWitness.\u201d) Meteorological Office, Toronto, Ont., Apri 5.\u201411 a.m.\u2014 Following are the mirimura teraperatures:\u2014Calgary, 26; qa Appellb, 22; Winnipeg, 22; Parry Sound Toronto.37; Montreal, 36; Quebec, 2: Halifax.32.Probabilities for the next twenty-four hours: Fresh westerly to north-westerly winds ; cloudy to fair; not mueh change in temperature.Montreal, April & Readings by Hearn & Harrison\u2019s Sjandard Barometer at nocn to-day: 20.75; yesterday 29.79.To-day: temperature, max.48; min, 83; yesterday: max.41; min.29.quest the Band of Hope will repeat its.recent concert in the lecture hall of the John Y.McKane and the other indicted , ~~ KE 0 A A aie + \u2014\u2014 LST pe WY 0 0 ÿ SUR r a PE 7 AC EPS 7 are peor.A SH tar RST ee REE, or CR b am | HOPE \u2014 At the residence of George D.-Beware of imitations BIRTHS, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.Notices of births, marriages and deaths must art ably.be endaraed with the name and address gf the sender, or otherwise no notice can be taken of them.Birth notices are inserted for Lic, marriage notices Jor 0c, death notices for 25e prepaid.When announcement of funeral, extended obituary or verses \u2018mecompany such notice further charge will be made.- Notices received Jrom annual aubsoribers inserted Jree.BIRTHS.LAURIE\u2014At.Quebec, on the 2nd instant,the wife of Dr.James Laurie, of a son.'

Divinity, the Rev.Alexander Robertson, of Venice, Italy, who was presented by the Rev.Professor Coussirat, D.D.Mr.D.Guthrie, B.A., then read the va'edictory address.He said that it would indeed be hard for the class of '34 to describe the feelings which filled their hearts and minds at the close of their college course, and they could hardly realize yst that they were about to sever resident connection with their alma mater.It was, perhaps, the tendency of graduates after leaving oollege to weaken ties and become indifferent to alma mater, but they should remember all she had done for them and do all that they could for her in return.Their college was the connecting link between the eastern and western sections of the Presbyterian Church, and enfolded within its walle English and French in all \u201ccuality.It afforded to each the same advantages and claimed the same loyalty, and the common and constant presenta tion of the same interests bound the Union Jack and the Tricolor inseparably \u2018>gether by cords of true Presbyterian \u201cine.Mr.Guthrie then sald farewell to the kind friends outside the co:lege and thanked them for the gift of many plee- sont hours spent in Christian homes.He noid a glowing tribute to the professors.vith whom they, the students, had lived 25 a hand of brothers, and bade farewell to rlassmates in feeling terms.Principal MacVicar then presented di- ! plomas to the graduates of the year, namely: G.C.Pidgeon, B.A., D.Guthrie, B.A., L.R.Giroulx, J.R.Dobson, B.A.E.A.MacKenzie, B.A., A.D.Fraser, A.C.Reeves, B.A., N.A.MacLeod, B.A., J.Maynard, J.M.Kelloch, M.A., Robt.Eadie, R.Ballantyne, W.C.Clarke, J.E.Charles, B.A., B.Sc., and J.A.Savignac.Sir Willlam Dawson then addressed the graduating class as follows: \u2018I have been honored with an ffivitation to address the recipients of a degree for which 1 am not myself eligible, all my academical distinctions being of a secular nature.I have, however, the gratification of being an aged man, if not an elder in the technical sense, and of one often having the pleasure of listening to preachers who were my own students, and perhaps it may be thought useful sometimes to reverse this relation and that those preached to should occasionally address the preachers.In any case I may hope as one who has lived through, and that with some observation of his surroundings, bearly three-fourths of one of the nineteen centuries, to say to you some things that may be suggestive and helpful.\u2019 The address which followed was of the deepest interest, being limited to this one thought, \u2018 the importance of basing everything on the Word of God and of constantly gaining in knowledge and spiritual comprehension of the Holy Scriptures as living force within.\u201d \u2018For vou and for all,\u2019 said Sir Willjam, \u2018the Word of God, which is the swoïd of the spirit, is the first and only weapon, and your motto should ba \u2018 The bible, the whole bible, and nothing but the bible.\u2019 In that inspired book the main subject is Christ the Messiah.He is its Alpha and Omega.To him it bears witness from its first page to its last and the whole constitutes the development from the beginning to the end of time of the divine programme of salvation for man.I cannot regard you as having yet entire mastery of this weapon.The student has his time much occupied with the surroundings and accessories of the bible, and ît is not until the soldier of the cross has proved its temper and his owp coolness and skill in many a hard tought fleld that he can be considered as fully expert in the use of the sword of the spirit.It requires much study, much experience and much living on the bible and by the bible to be \u2018\u201c Mighty in the Scriptures.\u201d In conclusion Sir Willlam said, \u2018 Born of God into the new heavenly family, may you grow in wisdem and knowledge.May your last days be your best, the glorious setting of a sun which will rise to an eternal y.It must be so if you will enter into the divine lite as described by Christ and follow the closing advice of his apostle Peter.\u2019 Principal MacVicar in closing convocation said: The work of the session now about to close has been satisfactory throughout.We opened in October last with an attendance of ninety-two in classes of all grades, being an Increase over previous years.By the good providence of God the health of professors and students bas been excellent.Uninterrupted harmony and conscientious devotion to stufly have characterized our entire collegiate community.Indeed, in some Pmstances, over-exertion rather than any tendency to remissness in duty, was what had to be guarded against.The fifteen gentlemen who have just received their diplomas form the largest class we have yet sent out, and I £ confident they will, by-the aid-of di Ete a good account of themselves in time to come, and that the ministerial ranks of the Church will be much strengthened by their presence.They enter upon their great life-work in the enjoyment of the hearty confidence and goodwill of every member of the faculty, and our desire and prayer in their behalf is that their future career may be distinguished by still greater success than that which has been achieved within these halls or as students of the university.With the addition made to-night to the roll of our alumni it now contain two hundred and sixteen names.Some of these have gone to their eternal rest and reward, But the most of them are still in active service, and they, along with the large body ot students annually upon the mission field during summer vacations, form a great spiritual force emanating from this centre.The Sunday morning meetings of professors and students for prayer and conference, which were inaugurated at the beginning of this session, have been well attended and ares believed to have been a valuable means of grace to all.Not long since I had occasion to speak words of high appreciation of the late Mr.Peter Redpath, for years an active member of our board of management, and one of our many generous benefactors.His benevolence and many admirable qualities need no eulogy from me.Another conspicuous figure bas been recently removed from college circles by the decease of the Rev.Dr.Geo.Douglass, principal of the Wesleyan College.He was a good and brave man.We, in common with thousands of others, wiil long remember his eminent services to the cause of truth and of his country.1 have only further to mention that 188 volumes were added to our library during the past year; forty-six volumes having been purchased by Mr.David Mor- rice, chairman of the college board, and seventy-seven given by Sir WHliam Dawson.And to-night Mr.Warden King presents a copy of the life of the Rev.Dr.Andrew Bonar to each member of the graduating class.To these and all other benefactors we tender most cordial thanks.We wish to see the growth of the library keep pace with that of other departments, and we should therefore be specially pleased to have funds placed at our disposal to enable us to purchase recent and most necessary works.1 trust also that the scholarship fund will receive early and effective attention from the board of management.The Doxology was then sung by all present and the Rsv.Dr.Campbell pronounced the benediction, thus bringing a most memorable convocation to a close.PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE ALUMKL The annual meeting of the Alumni Association of the Presbyterian College was held yesterday afternoon, at the college After the

followed the presentation of prizes, Migs Abbott being the favored recipient ef two lovely bouquets.The degree of C.M., M.D.was then conferred upon C.H.B.Armstrong, Kingston, Jamaica ; Miss M.EK.Abbott, St.Andrew's, Que.; Leandre C.Brunet, Roxton Falls, Que.; Narcisse G.Contant, St.Romuald, Que.; H.E.Denny, Montreal, Que.; Geo.Fisk, Abbotsford, Que.; Archippus Harry, Kingston, Jamaica, W.!.; T.E.Montgomery, Phil- lipsburg, Que.; W.J.McNally, Calumet Island, Que.; G3.A.Trenholme, Kingsey, Que.The oath was administered to the new doctors by Dr.Geo.T.Ross.Dr.Fisk delivered the meritorious valedictory in an able manner.He thanked the citizens of Montreal for many kindnesses received, whereby the lives of the students had been ofttimes brightened and thelr leisure time spent in the pure, sweet atmosphere of the home circle \u2018to their present comfort and lasting good.The efforts of the professors on their behalf were deeply appreciated.They had entered the college course with crude {deas respecting medicine and the supposed ease Of attainment; their feelings had undergone a great change; they had learned how to study, and learned also, no matter how hardly and intelligently they studied, success was yet far away.He spoke of the onerous duties of the professors, which inereased more and more as the dictatorjal method was re- laced for methods more intelligent, and Le believed the day was not far distant when chairs of Bishop's College would be endowed.The University magazine, \u2018The Mitre,\u2019 had been of great service and interest, and they trusted that its ture increase.Dr.Kenneth Cameron, in response, sald it was a graceful and time-honored custom of the faculty to bid their graduates farewell and wish them sucoess before leaving to enter on the great path of life.quired the highest point of honor and integrity.They had an official ethical code to which they should stick through life and should make up their minds not to give a certificate for any empirical purpose whatsoever, and also take a careful watch upon the use of narcotics and stimulants not only for patients but also for domestic use.Their watchword should always.\u2019 Principal Adems said the professors in this faculty gave their services and actually lose pecuniarily by the sacrifice of their time for the benefit of the Students and the community at large.The announced resignation of Dr.Perrigo from the chair of surgery, which he has held for ovar twenty years, was referred to with regret.The principal then referred more particularly to the work of that institution, of which the medical faculty, with its twenty-one teachers and fifty- five students, was only one portion, though a useful and valuable portion.Earlier In the day they had held the corporation meeting and a good showing had been made.Poverty, of course, they would not so much plead as proclaim.Poverty with solvency; they were able to pay their way, but they were not able, aut af thelr profits, to endow or to extend thelr work.They hoped to in- tags, Tather \u201cthin &fminish the- staff, and to enrich their curriculum\u2014and here they looked for larger revenue from new: liberality as well as from increased members.: As they had in the college the very important and almost inestimable advantage of the residental system as at Oxford ard Cambridge, so in Bishop's College school they had a repreSentative of the system of the English public schools.They had 30 students in the college.They had 20 boys.in the school, and hoped to have a larga number in the autumn.He thought the doctors might prescribe the Lennoxville air to the parents of the Montreal boys for their sons for the greater part of the year.The \u2018public school system of England there adopted and adapted has certain moral advantages of the highest kind.There remained the duty and pleasure of saying a word of encouragement and congratulation to those whose special day this was \u2014the graduates of the medical faculty.They were ten in number, but they were from a broader constituency than at any other medical school in this province.They admitted and welcomed women as well as men, and hoped they wotild always have them both on their roll.He hoped, too, that women would alsp be £dmitted to the musical degrees this year, and, finally, to the arts degree when the time was ripe.We, therefore, welcome and congratulate Miss Abbott in following in the steps of Dr.Grace Ritchie; and we deeply sympathise with her in the loss of those relatives who would have rejoiced in her - success today, ofie of whom, Bir John Abbott, was 4 man whose loss was felt throughout the whole Dominion, We also congratulate our graduates from the West Ia- dies, where we are well and favorably known, and also weleome our French coppatriots as well as our English friends.Your profession, medical graduates, 18 one of noble work and immense usefulness as well as of vital responsibility.May you

now in good hands, and will start in the championship series this year with their old-time vigor and determination.and it is safe even now to say that Montreal will hold a more honorable position at

lot.For eome time past they have been having a series of bowling competitions for which pins of increasing value were awarded for the best weekly, monthly and season's average.The results have been kept in the dark as though the players were ashamed of their work and fearful lest the outside world should hear of their doings.The association has two good® alleys and can probably boast of some expert bowlers and the athletic fraternity would no doubt like to hear of some of their accomplishments.On April 20 a series of team competitions will begin, to ba continued every Thursday until] completed.Four teams have already jrut in for this competition and several others are yet expected to enter.A GOOD SEND-OFF.ST.GEORGE'S e RECEPTIONS TO COL.HENSHAW AND \"HONS MACKENZIE.The members cf the St.Gaorge\u2019s Snowshoe club were \u2018all up\u2019 at the Club House last evening to do honor to Col.Fred Ilen- shaw and Mr.Ross Mackenzie.The reception to the former was one of congratulation on his approaching marriage.To Mr.MR ROSE MACKENZIE.Mackenzie it was of a sadder nature, being one of farewell on his leaving Montreal ic assume the managership of a railway at Niagara Falls.Of course the evening opened with a banquet comprising all the toothsome delicacies to be had whether in or out of scason.The president, Mr.B.Hal.Brown, proposed the health of \u2018Our Guests\u2019 in % happy manner and voiced the sentiments of every member of the club in his references to the many excelient.personal and public qualities of the two gentlemen whom they had with delight assembled to honor.\u2018We have,\u201d he concluded, \u2018met to honor twc such men as Messrs.Henshaw and Mac kenzie and our demonstrations of enthusiasm may be pardoned if somewhat strong.It would be strange were they otherwise because stronger two have never received a oint send-off.\u201d Both gentlemen replied feel- -Ingly to the toast and assured those present of their contitiued interest in 8t.George's club, of which they would always treasyre many pleasant memories.Late in the evening more substantial testimony of the club's esteem was given to the guests of the evening.Col.Henshaw was thq reciplent of a solid silver lamp, two silver candelabra and a beautifully illuminated address, while Mr.Mackenzie was presented with a large picture containing four views of the cluk house, also a handsorne gold watch.After graceful acknewledgmeonts from the recipi ents the party gave itself up to general enjoyment and until the small bours had well advanced the hall rovounded with chorus and merry shout which indicated that : right jolly good time was being spent.OORNWALL'S PROSPECTS.Cornwall, April 3.\u2014~The annual meeting of the Cornwall Lacrogse club will ba hele en Monday evening, of next week, April ?Of all the senior clubs Cornwall 1s perhaps making the least noise, but \u2018still water run: deep,\u2019 and the national game is far from being a defunct isstie in the factory

majority of last year's team will be in the fleld and with the help of considerable scung blood the team that will wear the blue and grey this summer will bring no discredit to the game of Cornwall.Much depends, however, upon the reloction of an aggressive executive committed - The Cornwall Juniors are preparing for the season and will hold a grand ball in the Music Hall on the evening of the N.A.L.A.convention here.& Macdonald, the advocates who drew the instrument, mean a good deal more than simply the names, having reference to the theology, ancestry and family, and In the same conuection it may be added that lawyers are much puzzled as to whether the signatures would legally stand the test of our Engiish courts should the document be contested, and in such case it would be for the full bench of judges to decide how far a signature in Chinese character is valid outside of China.The test, however, is never likely to be required, the present parties being highly educated

Police Committee over a proposal to deal with vile houses.One of the new members afforded amusement to the old heads on the committee by proposing such a thing.The English-speaking members were no parties to this raillery.\u2018Tell the proprietors,\u201d said Mr.Kennedy, \u2018that if they let their houses to bad people their names will be published in the newspapers.\u2019 \u2018You would not be able to find the proprietors,\u201d was the reply.Mr.Kennedy was honestly anxious to do something.If the committee wants to do something, which we do not believe, we can tell them how.If they cannot find the proprietors, which seems to be generally possible when the object is to tax them, they can at least find the property.There is nothing so responsible as real property.It is always there when you look for it.Get the law so amended, if amendment be necessary, that the fines will be levied off the property, and keep on fining as long as the property is used for immoral purposes.There may then be some fortunes the less to create ecclesiastical and benevolent foundations with, but there will also be a more manly and less degraded people.From the tone of the proceedings in the Police Committee we could easily have a more manly and less degraded pecple.If proprietors plead that they did not Know that their property was s0 used, we know of no more effective way of letting them know.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE DRY GOODS DUTIES, The Dry Goods Association's attitude in regard to the revised tariff has been somewhat misunderstood.The association is in favor of a reduced tariff and of a reduced tariff only; it is utterly opposed to specific duties and to any increase in the protection of manufactures except in one instance.What it has in effect asked for is that all dress goods, carpets of the better class, velveteens and woollen shawls, the duties upon all of which have been advanced under the new tariff, should be lowered to the old rates, which were in each case ad va- lorem ones.The government might very well grant the petition; people generally who have been expecting a reduction are very indignant over these increases, which, tt must be remembered, are in the duties on goods of which the famifles of farmers and artisans and salaried men buy by far the largest portion.The Dry Goods Association, While peremptorily refusing to ask that the Po, we my ume A TE NL be 18 adn id w] that the protection duty of thirty-two specific duties be reimposed on ready- made clothing, or that the same high rate as before be reimposed, does ask and a half percent be raised to forty percent, and the reason !t gives for this is that the duty on cloth, the raw material of the clothier, is thirty percent, which by the protectionists\u2019 theory leaves the clothier with only two and a half percent protection.It will be noticed that in .calculating comparative rates of protection the protectionists themselves proceed on the theory that the manufacturers extort the full rate allowed by the tariff, though when arguing for protection in general they deny this theory.Anyway, the ready-made clothiers say they are only given two and a half percent protection under the new tariff, and the Dry Goods Association asks that the duty on ready-made clothing be raised to forty percent, thus increasing their protection to tem peroent.We do not see why the clothiers should be given any protection whatever ; they are privileged in being given two and a half percent, and have no right to even that, not to say ten percent.The Dry Goods Association says, \u2018Very true, but \u2018 under a protectionist system they should \u2018be given in proportion to the other pro- \u2018 tected manufacturers.\u2019 We say the other manufacturers should be deprived of their protection privileges and placed on an equality with the great mass of the people, who benefit nothing and suffer loss from protection.The government, instead of raising the duty on ready-made clothing from thirty-two and a half to forty percent, thus increasing the taxation upon the working people, should lower the duties on cloth from thirty percent to twenty-five percent, or even twenty percent, and thus relieve the great body of taxpayers, who have more need of relief than the few manufacturers have of additions to their wealth.Why did not the Dry Goods Association demand the reduction in the duty om cloths as the true remedy for the grievance complained of, instead of asking that the burdens of the poor be added to ?2 THE FRENCH TREATY.After urging for many years her claim to negotiate her own treaties, it is not a hittle humiliating to Canada that on the very first occasion on which this privilege has been granted her she should have to repudiate the treaty which her representatives have made and signed.It has always been set forth as a difference which tells greatly in favor of our system of government as compared with that of the United States that when a treaty was made with Great Britain it could be counted on as made, the government making it having a majority in parliament always ready to back it, and being governed in its negotiations by the need of making the terms agreed L upon such as the majority on which they were dependent would approve.Under the American system a president negotiates a treaty to suit his own views ity, if not probability, is that the Senate to which the treaty will be submitted for ratification will repudiate it.To give weight and value to Canadian diplomatists abroad # is in the highest degree desirable that their acts should be understood to be in harmony with the views of parliament and certain of ratification.In our very first essay at treaty-making, however, we seem to have failed in this.The failure is due, however, to the very fact that it is our first attempt, and that we did not understand the business, and have made sôme blunder about it.The government itself does not approve of the French treaty, though after long consideration it has at last decided to ask parliament to ratify it.The signing of the treaty was evidently sanctioned by ene member of the Government who, tkrough some unexplained rhisappre- hension, did mot understand that\u2019 he \u201cwas sanctioning the signing of it.That is plain from the fact that the same member of the Government went on giving instructions as to negotiations after the treaty had been signed with his consent.[Even after it was signed the Government tried to get out of having to ask Parliament to sane- tion it.It is only \u2018because France and Sir Charles Tupper force the point of honor that they now reluctantly consent to introduce the legislation necessary to make it law.Members of Parliament should remember that while the Govern- ent is bound in honor to ask them to ction it, Parliament is not bound either by honor or anything else to sacrifice the interests of the country by doing so.On the contrary the members are bound to defend the interests of their constituents.Whether the Government, in case Parliament decides not to sanction the treaty, will feel bound to resign is a question for themselves.We do not think they would be bound to do so.It is clear that while a majority of Parliament, including the Ministry themselves,\" do not like the French treaty, they have confidence in the Government from whose obvious and in effect acknowledged mistakes, they, in refusing to sanction thig treaty, as they have a right to do, and ar is their duty to do, only wish to save the Government itself as well as the or those of his Cabinet, but the possibii- | | { method is necessary in order that the 4 = country.Parliament, without regard to .grouped under comprehensive schedules.another feature equally good and equally ly, the change from specific to ad va- - lorem duties, is found to be still more -from the * party, should feel at liberty to deal with this treaty as the interests of the country dictate.If Parliament is bound in any way to sanction the mistakes of the Government of the day, then there would be no use in reserving treaties for tite sanction of Parliament.It is manifest the constitution provides for the sanctioning of treaties by Parliament in order to provide for just such cases as the present, when it is necessary to save the.Dominion from the evil effects of a bad treaty, mistakenly entered into by the Government of the day.If they sacrifice the interest of the country to the supposed interests of their party or of the Government the Ministerialists will be guilty of something like disloyalty; they will at least show a lack of patriotism.\u2014 \u2014\u2014\u2014 A CUCKOO CRY.Mr.Faster\u2019s revised tariff is not an ideal measure from the point of view of tariff reformers, but those who call it a deformed tariff are protectionists or imitators and cuckoos of protectionists.The word \u2018deformed\u2019 has been somewhat overworked in this connection.The Liberals of 1879 rightly called the protectionist tariff of that year a deformed tariff.Specific duties and all sorts of deformities characterized it.When the Wilson tariff bill was introduced in the United States Congress the protectionists of the United States called it a \u2018deformed\u2019 bill, and because it was a sort of punning play upon the reformed tariff proposals the expression was largely used by those who are given to using phrases which are really empty of meaning.The Wilson bi} is a big measure of reform both as to the manner and the matter of the bill, and the protectionists, by op- | posing it as they have done, manifest their dislike of its reform proposals.Foster's revised tariff is a reformed tariff ; it is as to the form of it a great measure of reform.The grouping of many descriptions of goods of one kind is characteristic of a free trade tariff, and is utterly opposed to the protection- | ist system by which each kind of goods, and each variety even of the same kind of goods, is placed separately in order that a duty may be placed upon it as high in rate as the manufacturer of that particular variety or kind of goods may think neces- gary to protect him from competition.That is not possible where the goods are By grouping them thus the finance minister has given protected manufacturers Yo understand that the day of extreme protection, when any little manufacturer eould run to Ottawa and have such a duty placed on any description of goods as he might desire or believed necessary to enable him to begin the manufacture of it, has passed away.That in itself is no mean reform.This feature of the tariff, when taken in connection with prominent in this reformed tariff, name- antagonistic\u2014antagonistic in actual effect, as well as in form\u2014to protection.Under a protective tariff one class of goods is placed in many different clauses under many different rates of duty, and generally under specific or mixed specific and ad valorem duties, simply because this manufacturer of each variety may get what protection he wants, and because the rate of duty may be better concealed taxpayer.Under protection it is only the coarser and heavier kinds of goods that home manufacturers can compete in against foreign manufacturers, and the specific duties are imposed in order that they may fall heaviest upon the coarse goods to the benefit of the manufacturer and the cost of the people, while the finer, lighter goods pay less duty in proportion to their cost, to the disadvantage of the government treasury, to the advantage of the well off who use such goods, and to the disadvantage of the consumer of the more heavily taxed goods, who, in addition to paying a hcavy bounty to the manufacturer by reason of the heavy specific duties, is compelled to pay taxes upon other goods in order to make up to the revenue what it loses owing to the specific duties falling lightly upon fine goods.Thus, a tariff in which each variety of every kind of goods is placed in a separate clause and subjected to specific duties, favors the pockets of the manufacturers to the disadvantage of the revenue ; favors the manufacturers to the disadvantage of the people generally ; favors the rich to the disadvantage of the poor ; it is inevitably and grossly inequitable as to Incidence and disguised and secret as to the amount it extorts from the taxpayers, and it opens wide the door of the legislature to all who wish to extort bounties from the taxpayers for their own particular benefit.Such is the tariff that has been in force since 1879.The new tariff changes not all but a great deal of this.Under it goods are grouped for the most part in quite comprehensive schedules and fairly inclusive clauses ; and for the most part ad valorem duties have been substituted for specific.Where protected manufacturers are interested the ad va- lorem duties are for the most part below the equivalent of the specific duties.Now, what is the effect of the change ?1 be reversed.The result of substituting | reduced ad valorem duties for specific duties over large classes of goods, in- oluding both light ahd heavy, coarse and fine, cheap and costly, is to lessen the: protection enjoyed by the manufacturer | upon the heavy, coarse, cheap goods, which ; they principally manufacture, and to | increase the duty ™wpon the fine, light, | costly goods which are imported, and the! revenues from which go into the treasury of the country.If the ad valorem duties be only equivalent to the mixed specific and ad valorem duties, mo more is exactéd from the people as a whole, but ! the poor pay less, the rich pay more, the : manufacturer gets less, and the treasury : gets more.This is not a deformed | tariff, but a reformed tariff; it is no! wonder that protectionists papers call it a deformed tariff, but we do wonder that tariff reformers, in order to make a point against the government, are found cuckoo- ing this thoughtless phrase.It must be thoroughly understood, however, that while the new tariff is a reformed one, it is not a satisfactory one.It makes no substantial reduction in taxation to the people at large.\u2019 It adds to the taxation of many people, while lowering the taxation of many others.But there is no reason why the taxation of all should not be greatly lowered.The estimated reduction in the, tariff is from thirty percent to twenty- | eight percent, a beggarly two percent.i The reduction in the American reformed j tariff is, it is estimated im some quar-.| ters, between fifteen and twenty percent.| | The new Canadian tariff reduces taxation a million and a half\u2014that of the United | | States reduces it seventy-six millions.The government made a great mistake | When, in deciding to go so far in the | so far short of effective reform as to re- | duction.It is a practical lightening of their burden, not a method better in theory, that the people, who feel the : burden of taxation greatly, most care for, and this the government may find, \"out when the elections come on, if they do not learn it sooner.\u2018 tr THE FRENCH TREATY.SIR JOHN THOMPSON ANNOUNCES THE GOVERNMENT'S INTENTION OF RATIFYING ÎT.» YESTERDAY'S BUDGET DEBATE GIVEN, UP TO THE EXPRESSION OF FRENCH-CANADIAN VIEWS\u2014SCHOOLS QUESTION IN THE SENATE.(Special to the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Ottawa, Ont., April b.\u2014Mr.Prior will move a resolution for a scheme to grant pensions to the members of permanent corps, and headquarters and district staffs.Mayor Calgary, of Collingwood, and Messrs.Lockerby, John Long, J.L.Barton and Martin Barton, accompanied by Messrs.Sproule and Tyrwhitt, waited upon the Government to-day, and asked for an appropriation of $5,000 to dredge the Collingwood harbor.His Excellency, the Governor-General, sent for Mr.Laurier this afternoon, and entered into conversation with the Liberal leader in the lobby of the Senate.There was not a great deal of interest in the debate on the address in the House of Commons yesterday.It was carried on by Messrs.Belley, Bruneau, Campbell, Amyot and Monette.It was, it will be seen, almost altogether a French-Cana- dian day.The important announcement was made by Sir John Thompson, in reply to Sir Richard Cartwright, that the Government intended to ask Parliament to ratify the French treaty.He said this much and no more.IN THE SENATE the debate on Mr.Bernier\u2019s motion for papers in he North-West school case was resumed by Senator Scott, of Ottawa, who glanced retrospectively at the subject, and referred to the pledges given to the minority, pledges in which the whole Dominion bad concurred.He read from the official records to show that the establishment of separate schools met with the concurrence of everybody then in public life.There were, he said, intolerant men in both the Roman Catholic and Protestant Churches, and the only course open for them was to bear and forbear.The religious instruction of children was of great importance to the community as a whole.A pious Roman Catholic was a much better citizen than a bad Roman Catholic.Public opinion in all lands had now a tendency towards Christian education.He alluded to the opposition offered by the late Mr.George Brown to an amendment proposed by the North-West Act of 1875, prohibiting the introduction of Roman Catholic schools in the Territories.That was a case where one of the fathers of confederation felt bound to sink his individual views in order to carry out the spirit of the British North America Act.He blamed the Government for not vetoing the ordinance of 1892.The hon.gentleman severely criticised the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council for their opinions expressed in the Manitoba school case.He thought they showed a lamentable lack of knowledge of our federal system, and@™Phat their conclusions were illogical.The judicial committee was represented in this country as of imposing majesty, but in reality it had no more dignity than those Courts in the United States of which we sometimes read that the presiding judge sat in his shirt sleeves.He charactefized its decision in the Mani- By reversing the method, the results will toba school case as most unjust.The provision In the British North Ame 4 {| Act and the

Lian began to think this young man must be more than a little cracked.\u2018That terrible, awful Academy \" he always began with painting, and then went on to fiction and the drama.\u2018Have you ventured yet within its walls ?Have vou tried to look at the blurred can vases that they call pictures ?they have\u2014they really have\u2014their uses.Whenever\u2014which is seldom\u2014I feel any touch of hope or opticism, I burry to the Academy.That cures me.\u2018J have been several times to the Royal Academy.\u201d The girl spoke clearly and decidedly.\u2018I have not yet seen half the pictures.There are many Very fine paintings there.many full of imagination ; many of the finest drawing ; many rich in colors ; many With the truest sense of nature.There has certainly never been any time her English art ood on a higher lev a .ne was so astonished that he dropped his \u2018pince-nez\u2019 into the soup.He was quite silent for the space of five min- nu Ron you do mo the honor of listening to me,\u2019 he said, recovering a little after he had wiped his glasses, \u2018I shall be able to prove to you that the Art of Painting exists no longer in this country.\u2019 Tm you ?But I should refuse to listen to anyone who proposed such an absurdity.No one who understands the merest elements of the Art could poa- sibly think so.Can you paint, or draw?Have you attended any school of Art ?Do you know the powers and limitations of color ¥ \u2018It is not necessary for a critic of my school to be also a painter.\u2018On the contrary.Without a knowledge of the technique, no one can possibly be a critic.We will not speak any more, if you please, about Art.\u2019 Her color had risen slightly.She spoke with such firmness that the young man quailed.He tried her again on the subject of the drama ; the absolutely contemptible condition of which is, with his school, a mere axiom.\u2018I cannot for a moment accept that assumption of yours,\u201d she said.\u2018The drama of the day has some very good points.People want to be amused, first of all, and there are some very amusing pieces now on the stage.They like a good story, and there are some excellent stories for them to see and hear.Have you ever written a play ?\u2018 \u2018N\u2014no.Not yet.I may have ambitions.\u2019 \u2018Then you must speak humbly.A young man cannot be a critic of the drama at all unless he has the praetical knowledge gained by experience and attempt.When you are older, and have proved that you possess something of the critieal faculty\u2014which is rarer than the ereative, 1 bslieve\u2014you may perhaps be allowed to speak.Meantime you talk very confidently of decay.Is there + 1 he could tell her all, and claim her, absolutely claim her, as his own.Once he met Archie at the club.\u2018Ah !\" he eried, \u2018pulse answers pulse.The Equa! Man and the Equal Woman.Lucky dog ! One night, however, he saw a thing that forced upon him the necessity of immediate action.It was at a dance.He went there in order to meet her.For himself, he could not dance.She could, however.She danced without aitting down.Yes, once she sat down, and Raymond saw her, in a conservatory, with a man\u2014no other than the wretched impostor of a popular novelist already mantioned.Love was in his eyes and in his attitude as he bent over her and whispered.A cold chill crept down Raymond's back.He was not prepared for the appearance of another man.Next day he called in the morning.He was pale and solemn\u2014the time was come\u2014he was about to claim his bride.\u2018You wish to see me alone, Mr.Ridge?asked Lilian.She had a fine color, and her eyes were brighter than usual, She understood very well that a declsive moment was coming.This little man, who talked a jargon, and was always meeting her in unexpected places, was going to speak.\u2018l have coms,\u2019 he sald, \u2018to ask, if I may venture, for an explanation.Have you treated me as I had a right to expect ¥ \u2018You\u2014had\u2014a\u2014right\u2014a pect ?\u2019 asked Lilian.the meaning of this ?\u2018I mean,\u201d he replied, coldly, yet with anxiety, \u2018that when a girl has been made for a man, cut out for him, provided with accomplishments for: him, enriched for him, made the Ideal woman\u2014the Equal Woman\u2014for him, he has a right to expect consideration.You have scoffed and mocked at me.I have lald bare my soul for you, and you laugh at it\u2014' \u2018Oh!

its meetings are closed against the public and the reporters.Consequently the public and the press are dependent upon such reports as they can gather from members who have been presept, for an account of what goes on.\u2018It would be wonderful if reports thus obtained were not partial or inaccurate.; In the first place the Dry Goods Association are in favor of the ad valorem system of duties, and gre out \u201cand out opposed to the specific duties which they as a body peremptorily refused to request the Government to revert to, in any case, though-the association was asked by certain of its members to do so.Second, the Wholesale Dry Goods Association is opposed just as stoutly to the reimpositiom of any of the higher rates of duty which prevailed under the old tariff, and have declined to ask for the impositign of a higher rate of duty than that which prevails under the revised tariff in any case\u2014with a single exception which will be noticed hereafter.In the third place the Dry Goods Association demand further reductions of duty and demand only reductions except in the one case before referred to.In the fourth plaee it is not in favor of any changes which will result in any protection to manufacturers which has been removed or lessened by the present revision of the tariff being restored in whole or in part, with the exception noted.This, which is givan on authority, will all be news and good news, to the public, which had en led to believe differently by the reports that have been made of the proceedings of the association.The association assail the new tariff at about half a dozen different points.Their chief object of attack is, perhaps, the | duty on dress goods.Under the old tariff these goods paid ad valorem duties of 22%, 25 and 27% percent.Now, ub- der the new system of scheduling they are put in with woollen goods, which were formerly under a specific duty of ten cents per lb.and 20 percent ad val- orem, and are now placed under a duty of 30 percent.Now the association does \u201c not, as reported, ask that all woollens be placed under the old system of mixed specific and ad valorem duties or under the old rates.They d6 not want the woollen cloth duties which were formerly 10 cents per lb.and 20 percent ad val- orem restored; they prefer the\u2019 present reduned rate of 30 percent ad valorem.But they do \"want dress goods removed from the woollen schedule and placed by themselves, afid the old duties upon them restored precisely because the old duties were pure ad-valorem ones and were lower than the present duties upon these goods both low-priced and high priced.The Government has increased the duties all round; the Dry Goods Association want them reduced all round.Again, in regard to velveteen, these goods are so scheduled that the duties upon them will be raised; the Dry Goods.Association ask that the lower duty he in effect restored.In the same way there is some doubt about the effect of the scheduling upon shawls and the demand is that the duty upon them be not raised.The duties on the higher classes of carpets too, e needlessly raised.The Dry Goods Association would have the Government lower the rates of duties which have been raised and keep those which have been lowered down at the lower rate.The only instance in which the Dry Goods Association have asked for an increase in the duties is in the case ot ready-made clothing.Under, the old duty of 10 percent per lb.and 35 percent ad valcrem the coarse makes of heavy clothing were protected to the extent it is roughly estimated of about sixty percent.Under the new tariff an ad val- orem duty of 221% percent is substituted.As cloths pay a duty of 30 percent the ready-made clothing manufacturer has protection to the extent only 21% percent under the new tariff.The ready- made clothing members of the association asked the association to petition the Government to reimpose the old mixed specific and ad valorem duties and the old rates.The association refused to sanction any return to the specific duties system, even in one inStance, but it did consent to ask the Government to advance the new rate from 32 1-2 to 40 percent.Mr.E.B.Greenshields, the vice-pre- rident of the association, is desirous that the general views of the association and the purpose of its resolutions, sent to the Government, should be thoroughly understood by the public., and for this reason the resolutions were published yesterday.As to his views on the tariff changes, Mr.Greenshields sends us the following: \u2014 \u2018Under the old tariff the duties on carpets were: \u2014Tapestry carpets, 25 percent; Brussels, 25 percent; hemp, 25 percent; wool, 20 percent; and 10c a square yard; union 20 percent and 5c a sq.yd.In the new tariff, the result of changing the specific to ad valorem duties and making one rate of 30 percent in all kinds, is that the Government has in practice increased the duty om tapestry and Brussels carpets, which are imported to 20 percent, on printed cottons the reduction is very slight indeed, being from 32 1-2 percent in the old tariff to 80 percent in the new; people expected Lowa Amen er yam 42 ns and should have got a reduction, to at least 25 or 27 percent.On woollen and union dress goods, the Government has increased the duties about 20 percent.The duties under the old tariff on these goods were according to cost price 22 1-2 pc., 25 pc., or 27 1-2 percent, an average duty of 25 percent.They are under the new tariff put in with all imported woollen goods and charged 30 percent.Velveteens are placed in the same schedule with the woollen goods and thus the duties are raised from 20 percent to 30 percent, an advance of 50 percent.Shawls also are advanced after the same fashion.\u2014 STOLE LARD, BLAMED LIQUOR.THEN HE LIED TO THE JUDGE AND GOT A MONTH.William Bonay pleaded guilty in the Police Court to stealing lard from the Queen\u2019s Hotel.\u2018I would not have done it if I had been sober, Your Honor, and I hope you will consider that and let me off this time,\u2019 murmured Bonay, in self-commiserating strains.\u2018So you want me to condone your drunkenness, do you?asked Judge Dugas.\u2018Well, I tell you what I will do, I will give you six months for being drunk, and take up the larceny charge after.\u201d But, Your Honor, I mean Your Lord- \u2018ship, I assure you I was hardly drunk at all.What should I get drunk for?Where is the man who can say I was drunk?Yes, Your Worship, as I have said, I was perfectly sober.\u201d And Wm.Bonay straightened himself up and endeavored to look sober.Of course the judge had to laugh a little; but to the credit of Wm.Bonay, be it said, that he looked as if he had not the remotest idea what the judge was laughing at.\u2018So you were not drunk?\u2018No, sir.\u2019 \u2018Well, for stealing the lard you will gpend one month in jail.\u2019 William looked pleased.\u2018That drink excuse will soon be played out here,\u2019 said the High Constable as he marched William back to the cell.William shook his head thoughtfully, but commerted not.mr THE CHURCH OF THE ADVENT.The Church of the Advent, corner cf St.Luke street and Wood avenue, a Chapel of Ease for the Church oI St.James the Apostle, held its regular Easter meeting on Tuesday, the Rev.Canon Ellegood, rector, in the chair.A goodly number of the congregation, including ladies, (were present.After reading the report of the retiring wardens, which was most satisfactory, a vote of thanks was accorded to them, for their untiring zeal in the interests of the church.The annual election resulted as follows: \u2014 Rector's warden, Mr.Geo.Dunford;

Toronto, April 5.\u2014The alarmed liquor sellers of the province, panic-stricken by the great prohibition tidal wave, of which the plebiscite majorities are the evidence, are in secret session in the Victoria Hall devising ways and means to protect their interests.Diligent enquiry among committeemen and other delegates elicited that the convention would appoint an executive committee with power to take up and sift to the bottom any grievance that any delegate might report against Government officials, or municipalities, and in cases where litigation is consider- od advisable to see the matter fought out in the courts.For this purpose the convention will appoint a solicitor.A political platform which, they say, will be non-partizan and will be confined exclusively to the interests of the trade, is to be adopted.The delegates claim that the liquor license holders of Ontario control ninety thousand votes.Fifteen hundred delegates\u2019 certificates have been i8- sued by the convention committee.The convention, either by deputation, or through the officers of the Hotel-keepers\u2019 Protective Association, will apply to the Provincial Goverenment for these amendments to the Ontario License Act: 1.That license-holders shall be made eligible for municipal offices.2.That municipal councils be permitted only once in four years to change the number of licenses.8.That the powers to pass restrictive by-laws by license commissioners be curtailed.4.That the closing hour be made general throughout the province.The delegates, wearing large flaunting H.P.A.badges, are to be seen in every part of the city.- \u2014_\u2014\u2014 THE FIRE RECORD.London, Ont., April 4.\u2014The Ontario Car Works were badly damaged by fire to-day.The high winds prevailing rendered the work ofsfighting the flames a very arduous one, and the firemen were kept on the move for over three hours.What the loss will be is not readily estimated.There.was a number of machines of some value, and a large boiler in the engine room, and several derricks and similar machinery were located in the foundry.All were damaged, of course.The buildings cannot be restored to their former condition for less than $5,000.The origin of the fire is unknown.The spark theory is advanced, but it is far more probable that the place was set on fire.The place has not bëen used for several years.It belongs to Mr.Geo.Burland, of Montreal, who holds a large mortgage upon it.Oyster Bay, April 4.\u2014The summer residence of the late Mr.C.B.Moore, at Cold Springs Harbor, was burned this morning.The residence

glass factory will close down on Saturday next, the Burlington glass factory in about two weeks.Both factories are operated by the Diamond Glass Company, which controls two smaller concerns in

INJURED\u2014 MEUNIER, THE FRENCH ANAROHIST, IN THE TOILS.Paris, April 4\u2014A bomb was exploded at 9.15 p.m.on the window sill of the Restaurnat Foyet in the Rue de Conde, near the Luxembourg.The restaurant was two-thirds full of late diners.Pieces of the bomb flew through the room, smashing glass and crockery.Everybody started for the doors, but the panic abated as soon as it became evident that only one bomb had been placed.When the police arrived they found only three persons injured, one of them, the Socialist poet Taillade, who was wounded severely in the head.The end of the restaurant facing the Rue de Conde was partly wrecked, the window sill and two or three feet of the wall being blown out.The plaster was cleaned from the ceiling as if with a knife and everything on the nearest tables was in fragments.Not a window in the Rue de Conde front of the building was left whole.The windows of houses for 200 feet up and down the street were smashed into small bits, and the pavement was strewn with glass.The whole neighborhood was shaken, and the audience in the Odeon Theatre, hardly one hundred and fifty yards distant, was badly frightened by the report, but the manager quieted their fears.= Immediately after the explpsion there was one arrest.The policeman who arrived at the restaurant first was informed by a bystander that a man then walking hurriedly down the street had just run out from the building next door.The policeman overtook the man and arrested him.Another arrest was made by the police before midnight.Besides Taillade, a woman named Vignia, who accompanied him, and a waiter were injured severely.Many others were scratched by flying glass or were bruised by falls.The bomb was a preserved meat can filled with dynamite and old nails.A waiter who was near the window at the time of the explosion, says that he saw a workingman, about thirty years.old, place the bomb in a ower box on the window-sill and then fun down the street.His description of the man tallies with the appearance of the prisoner taken immediately after the explosiqn.London, April 4\u2014The notorious French Anarchist, Meunier, the accomplice of Francois and the avenger of Ravachol, together with a friend, was arrested this evening by Igspector Melville at the Liverpool street station.The police of three countries have been tracing Meunier\u2019s movements ever since the explosion at the Cafe Very in Paris, almost two years ago.The charde on which he was arrested this evening was the murder of the proprietor, who died of his injuries a few days after the cafe was blown up.The motive of Meunier and his accomplices in exploding the bomb was to punish the men who had betrayed Ravachol to the police and secured his arrest in the cafe.Both he and his comrade fought desperately, but the porters and several persons from the crowd helpea the inspector.He will be brought up in the Bow street court in extradition proceedings based on the charge of murder.His companion will be tried for aiding him in his attempt to escape.\u2014\u2014> TIME TO ACT.JOHN RAYMOND SAYS IRELAMD MUST HAVE A DIBSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT.Dublin, April 4.\u2014The convention of the Parnellite section of the Irish National party, which was held in the Rotunda yesterday, was attended by nearly all the leading members of that wing of the Irish parliamentary party, and also by representatives of other®sections of the Irish National party.Mr.John E.Redmond presided, and made a stirring speech outlining the policy of the Irish Independent (Parneilite) party.Mr.Redmond said the political situation had become so changed that the leaders of \u2018the Independent party fdlt that they could no longer continue to bear alone the weight of responsibility for the party's future.\u2018If Mr.Balfour,\u201d he said, \u2018were in power, he would conduct the government of Ireland by methods quite as constitutional as those followed by Mr.Morley.Therefore, any further exercise of patience on the part of the Irish members of Parliament will be a weak and cowardly betrayal of the interest which their constituents have entrusted to them.Before any national measure is adopted, a general election is necessary.\u2019 Mr.Redmond believed in constitutional agitation when it was conducted by men who were absolytely fearless; but if such agitation were conducted in a farcical manner, as it had been by the leaders of the anti- Parnellites, it were better that it should be abandoned, and resolute\u2019 men and stern methods called into requisition as soon as possible.Irkland\u2019s only hope was an immediate return to the path of resolution and independence of the English parties, which had been followed by Mr.Parnell.Mr.Redmond was frequently interrupted by enthusiastic cheering.The Mayor of Cork offered a resolution declaring that all claims to the confidence of Irishmen had been forfeited by the Government, and urging all Irish members of Parliament, as soon as possible, to do everything in their power to bring about a dissolution of Parliament.The resolution was unanimously adopted amid cheers.Mr.Redmond made an appeal for funds to maintain the newspapers supporting the Parnellite party, declaring that he would at once retire from Irish politics if these newspaners were allowed to die.Subsrriptions for their maintenance should be made at once.A resolution was passed pledging the delegates to endeavor to raise funds in their respective localities.\u2014\u2014\u2014 MURDERED BY SOUDANESE.Paris, April 4.\u2014The Government has received information that a French 'reconnoitering party in the southern part of the Soudan, was recently attacked by a band of natives in the village of Nzanpa and Lieut.Cerfe and three soldiers were killed, and six others of the French party | were wounded.The chief of the village recalled his men when he made the discovery that it was a French party he was attacking, and humbly apologized for his act.He explained that he mistook the native soldiers for a party of warriors of a turbulent chief in the Bourior region whom he has long intended to punish Se ey BAYAN on mae ee enn when he

Government would continue to en- Ncourage the association.General Herbert said a shipment of new rifles had already been made, and was now on the way.There would be nine thousand Martini-Henry available in a few months and next year he hoped to have all the shooting done with this new rifle.He had submitted\u201d a proposal for the econ- version of the old Snider rifle so as to arm the whole force with the new weapon.This proposal had been approved by the Minister of Militia, and consent also given that the Sniders, the property of individual riflemen, may be included.This conversion of the Snider into the new arm will be done in England, and with the view of arming the whole foree, so that the old \u2018Brown Bess\u2019 will become a thing of the past.Lieut.-Col.Gibson

consultation between Colonel Breckenridge and his lawyer, Major Shelby, he thought the case of the defence might end at that point, but he asked the court to adjourn then in order to give the defence time to consult as to what it would do.Judge Bradley agreed to the adjournment, but before the crier formally announced that the court was adjourned the crowd began to move out.Then Judge Bradley became angry and stiffening up he cried: \u2018Take your seats; go back there, take off your bats.\u2019 This was the introduction to a scorching lecture to the spectators, in which he said that the curiosity exhibited by them had been disgusting.Corridors had been crowded by the crowds, crowds had assembled before the office of counsel.The spectators, he said, were also on trial for their common
