SUGAR.Hamburg, Oct.29.\u2014The Senate on Saturday published a decree prohibiting the importation of American live cattle and fresh beef on the ground that two cargoes which have just arrived contained several animals suffering from Texas fever.Consignments which are proved to have left American ports by Oct.28 are empted from this prohibition, but the animals imported must be killed at the abattoirs here immediately after they are landed.Washington, Oct.30.\u2014The German ambassador has informed the Secretary cof State that Germany will prohibit the importation of beef and cattle from this country on the ground that cattle Imported from this country have been found to be infected by Texas fever.While this 1s the ostensible ground, there is little doubt tkat Germany is seeking to retaliate for the imposition by the tariff of a discriminating duty upon German mest SUBAT.tarift bill the German ambassador called attention to the fact that the discrimination would violate an existing treaty stipulation.In a treaty made many years ago with Prussia\u2014a treaty still in force\u2014this government agreed that Prussian imports should not be discriminated against, but should receive the treatment accorded to the most favored nation.Notwithstanding this fact, Congress passed the tariff bill with the 1-10 cent discriminating tax included.THE LATE DR.DONALD FRASER.There has

Presbyterian Church, London.and formerly of the Free High Church, Inver- ness.The memorial, which is of handsome.proportions, is made of polished grey granite, the greater portion of which came from the famous Rubislaw quarries, at Aberdeen.It is of Gothic design, having a double base course and three panels containing the inscription.These are surinounted by moulded arches and coping, which are supported by piers and double columns of polished Xinsteary granite, and the bosses being also cf tha same material, produce a pleasing effect.The final is a cross trefflee with ring.and the whole looks very massive and original in character, and is a fitting memorial for one of the most popular and most widely known clergymen of bis day.The centre panel contains the inscription, which is as follows: \u2014 \u2018In memory of .DONALD FRASER, A.M.D.D., Born at Inverness, 156th January, 1826.Minister of the Gospel For seven years at Montreal, For eleven years at Inverness, And for

composition of these state's legislatures will depend the control of the Senate, with the same possibility as in the case of the House, that neither Democrats nor Republicans may be able to secure independent control.and the balance of power may be beld by the l\u2019opulists.In Washington the greatest interest is centred in the election of the members of the House of Representatives, and all the state elections are lost sight of with the exception of that in New York,which owing to the peculiar circumstances that surround it, is regarded as being of pouch more than local importance and is expected to have an important bearing on the presidential campaign two years hence.Vice-chairman Apsley, of tke Republican committee, sees Republican victory everywhere, and bids deflance to the united hosts of Democrats and Populists, declaring that he will have enough Republicans from the northern and western states alone to control the House without taking into account the various districts he thinks are certain ip the strongholds of Democracy.He says there will at least 195 Republicans in the next House.Chairman Faulkner, of the Democratic Committee.is a little more conservative than Chairman Apsley.He does not vet give out any exact figures, but he says the Democrats will have control of the House by a good working majority.He says the Republicans wii] not know

CUSHION.EIGHTEEN INCHES OF NEEDLE TAKEN FROM A YOUNG LADY'S WRIST.Cornwall, Oct.29.\u2014Dr.Taylor, of Mas- sena, N.Y., has taken thirty-two pieces of needles, measuring in all eighteen inches in length from the wrist of Miss Ida Wheeler, who lives a couple of miles east of that town, and almost cpposite Cornwall.It appears that as Miss Wheeler was going to bed one night last week she laid her hand on the pillow and feit something like a needle prick her wrist.She did not heed it at the time but during the night it became painful and next day was so much worse that the doctor was sent for with the above result.The pieces range all the way from one-fourtn \u2018to three-fourths of an inch long, ané many of them were found tn be badly dent.How so many pieces could get into a space on her wrist not more than two inches square is a mystery.An examination of the pillow revealed an empty needle case and it is possible that in her £leep Miss Wheeler's wrist came In contact with the bunch of needles which had worked through the feathers.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 OLD PIONEERS PASS AWAY, Cornwall, Oct.29.-\u2014Not a week passes but one or more of the hardy old pioneers of Glengarry and Stormont go to their long reward.Mr.John A.Cameron, or Kenyen Township, a veteran of 1837-38 bas passed away at the age of seventy-two years.He was an ideal Highlander, brave, hardy and honorable.Mrs.Annie McLaughlin, relict of the late Donald McLaughlin, Lancaster township, died at the ripe old age of eighty- six years.The deceased lady was a native of Scotland and came to this country when a young woman.Mr.James Johnston, aged sixty-five, died suddenly of heart disease, at his home at Point Iroquois.Mrs.Thomas Barkley, of Matilda, was over eighty-three years a resident of Dun- das County.where she died the other day.She was the last survivor of the old Dil- labough family.Her husband i8 also the last of the Barkley family, which settled in Matilda in the early part of this century.-_\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE \u2018STANDARD\u2019 SMELLS BOODLE London, Oct.28.\u2014The \u2018Standard\u2019 will say to-morrow: \u2014'The Grand Trunk has been out-manoeuvred and hustled

from a civil engineer which advocated the digging of a canal between the Georgian Bay and Lake Ontario by way of Lake Sim- coe.We pointed out in reply to this letter that this project was a very old one, which, after much consideration and study by prominent men and engineers of Toronto, has been condemned as not feasible.The letter of our Toronto correspondent, which glances over the history of this project and gives very clearly the reasons for believing it to be a project which cannot be realized, tells how it has dwindled down to an aqueduct scheme for supplying power for milling and electricity purposes to Toronto and the towns and villages between Lake Simcoe and Lake Ontario.This would be a magnificent proposal if there is enough of water in Lake Simcoe for the purpose.There is nothing in physical geography, however, less reliable than a lake.You have only to remove a dam or make a channel big enough, or, what is the same thing, swift enough, and the lake disappears.ee \u201cNO RESULTS.\u201d \u2018No results\u2019 is likely to be the phrase by which the venerable detective force of Montreal will be known hereafter, or we should perhaps say remembered, ag it can hardly be supposed to be long for this life.In its place will probably appear a very different body of men.If not all, some at least of them will be well educated men, speaking several languages easily and able to take their places im any company.They will have at their offices books in which the habitual criminals not only of Montreal and of Canada but of the | world will be in their degree docket- | ed and indexed with descriptions ! which no disguise short of Dr.Jekyll\u2019s will be able to evade.They will also be posted by observation and correspondence as to the presance.in the city and whereabouts of all ; professional criminals.To this end they will be found diligently taking' notes in all public places.In such\u2019 a case as the attempt to blow up the | \u2018Witness\u2019 press, for instance, such a' force, instead of waiting to be formally apprised of what the whole city was already talking about, would be informed by police methods within a quarter of an hour of the event.The officials on duty would know, without looking up, exactly what desperate characters had entered the city within the last few days and what had been their resorts, and every outgoing train of the same morning would be watched for the attempted | departure of any such.\"The detectives that the citizens are longing for, instead of spending the greater: part of the day in the detective office! playing pranks on each other like! overgrown boys, or quarrelling over ! easy cases, or cases that pay, will\u2018 have sufficient manliness to respect \u2018 the confidence reposed in them and! be out on the streets collecting facts and making themselves competent to! handle any case that may suddenly! occur.The Montreal detective of; the future, when a robbery or a mur-! der is reported, will no longer feel | that he has faithfully and intelligent- | ly done his duty when he has visited: the second-hand stores and houses; of vice.© The present system, of only allowing men who have been on the police force for many years to be detectives, is a bad one.Leng police: service should no longer be the only | door to a detectiveship.It may easily be possible to get better men off the\u2018 force than on it, and doubtless there! are on the force to-day a number of | | which trouble might arise.policemen who are by nature far bet-/ equally vain THE MONTREAL now acting as such, not one of whom has been chosen because of any marked talent for such an important office.The public is not asking what is unreasonable when it demands a detective force equal in intelligence to that possessed by other important cities.The chief detective should be a man pecullarly adapted for the position and thoroughly competent to instruct and command the men under him.The members of the committee arc men of education and men who have travelled, and consequently know what constitutes a modern detective force.The public is looking to them to remedy the state of things against which it has so long complained.re A BAD LEAD.The Liberal party will, we belicve, make a great mistake if it follows the lead of the Toronto \u2018Globe\u2019 and opposes the admission of Newfoundland into the Dominion now or at any time she is willing to enter.The great island which lies In the mouth of Canada\u2019s great river is geographically so much a part of the Dominion, and owing to its commanding position there is so imperatively necessary to her national security, if not to her very existence, that on the very first opportunity that offers this invaluable province should be welcomed to her place among the rest of the provinces of the Dominion.Newfoundland possesses, moreover, a large part of the Labrador peninsula, including hundreds of miles of Canada\u2019s mainland seacoast, and has a lengthy coterminus boundary over It is true that the entrance of Newfoundland to the Dominion will add very greatly to both the foreign and domestic problems, solutions of which the Dominion will have to work out.Owing to Canada\u2019s French population the settlement of the French shore dispute between Great Britain and France may be embarrassed by the existence in the Dominion of a strong sentiment in favor of France's claim.It is a French saying, however, that it is the unexpected that arrives, and it might very well be that once the French shore question became a dispute between Canada and France, French-Canadians would be found as true as English-Canadians to Canada on that question, as on others, and that France approached by French-Canadian statesmen in a settlement of the affair might show herself much less difficult to deal with than she has been with British statesmen.Newfoundland would bring a considerable debt with her into the Dominion, would for years to come heavily tax the national treasury, and might greatly corrupt our politics, by laying upon Canada the necessity of rapidly developing the island\u2019s resources and improvirsz her means of communication with the rest of the country.The Dominion has had to pay this price for every province or territory added to the nation since the beginning.The cost is heavy, but heavy as it has been, even in the case of British Columbia, who would wish Canada relieved of it at the expense of the loss of the Pacific coast and all that the possession of that coast promises in the future to Canada and to the empire ?It seems to us, too, that Canada has had sufficient experlence to guide her in a path that will enable her to avoid 'the heaviest and most demoralizing of the prices which she has hitherto paid for acquisitions to her territory.t Surely the worst of the political corruption hitherto suffered as a consequence of the admission of new provinces can be guarded against.The efflorescence of -corruption which attended the Canadian Pacific Railway\u2019s contract and construction can surely be avoided.Ministers of the crown and members of parliament can now be prevented from becoming rich on the boodle stolen from | the country through the agency of railway promoters and contractors.The government can be prevented from accepting bribes in the shape of subscriptions to political funds frcm public work contractors.Surely Canada has had enough of experience of this Kind to enable her to avoid further humiliaticn and shame and degradation in the eyes of the world, and such demoralization as she has suffered during the last thirteen years as a consequence of her over- sanguine attempt at the rapid development of the North-West and her endeavor to foster i ter fitted to be detectives than those healthy manufactures and promots DAILY WITNESS.prosperity by taxing}the mass of the people to subsidize a class.That Newfoundland, if admitted to the Dominion, will be inclined to clect representatives who, by supporting the government of the day, will .secure public works for their province is probable enough, but that also is an evil which experience wil! enable future parllaments greatly to lessen.The \u2018Globe\u2019 is evidently afraid that the Conservative Government, by beginning the negotiations with New- fcundland at once, will be able to use them effectively as an issue in the next general election, and by completing them afterward maintain itself in power by the votes of the Newfoundland members.This is what \u2018may happen if the Liberal party follows its lead and raises objections and places obstacles in the way of Newfoundland's admission.But 1f the Liberals allow the right and natural desires of their hearts in regard to this matter to shape their policy in regard to it they will show themselves as eager as the Conservatives to add this seaward province to the sisterhood of the Dominion, and thus defeat the purpose of the Conservatives, if it be their purpose to turn this national issue into a party question, and make political capital out of it.Whatever the Liberal party decide, it is quite certain that the people of the Dominion will support the proposition to add Newfoundland to the Dominion whenever the eldest island colony desires to take her place among the provinces of Canada.MARTINI-METFORD.THE RIFLE

with the Lee and Capt.Andrews with the Martini.Sergt.Binmore started with his magizine loaded and succesded in firing 19 shots leaving one in the chamber.Capt.Andrews fired 12, but he lost a few seconds by the jamming of a shell.The time allowed was two minutes, but though Sergt.Bin- more fired the greater number of shots, Capt.Andrews was far more accurate, as the scores will show:

Centenary Church yesterday morning, afternoon and evoning, the church being crowded to the doors at the latter service.In the morning Mr.Schi- veroa took for his text John ili., 3: \u2018 Josus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily I say unto thee, except a man he born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.\u2019 Let us look at this subject, said Mr.Schiverea, trusting in Gol for guidance.We are living in strange times.It is told by some people that we are saved by the evolution of morals; by following Christ's example and by keeping from | sin and doing the best we can, but the | unchangeable word of God says we must \"be horn agaln.the absolute necessity of thz new birth.Jesus declares positively that we must have the spiritual birth in order to be saved.It makes no difference what tho theologian, the philosopher or the Chris- tlan scientist may say, God has said that we must be born again.There {8 no reason for asking why we should be born again.If we were going to be saved by evolution or Christian science God would have said so.If we must be born again let us bow our heads in submission.The second birth, that of spiritual life, gives us our spiritual existence.We may give the flesh culture and refinement, but it is only flesh and we CANNOT GIVE IT TO GOD.to replace it with the spiritual nature.Wo must have that nature that pertains to things holy and to things in heaven.The flesh in its unregenerated state could never be happy in heaven.There are men in Point St.Charles to-day who, if brought into a prayer meeting, would he in torture.not find comfort in the prayer meeting and place him in heaven and heaven would be perdition to him.Take the aud put him into heaven, he would not be happy unless he could get whiskey there.A thing that I cannot understand is the headway\u2019 fils infernal traffic is making end so many so-called Christian men countenancing it by their votes.I tell you, men, the time is coming when the Christian man will have to vote against it.No wonder God says we must be born again when we have men who are nothing but money bags, who think of nothing else from Monday to Saturday but how much they can squeeze out of the poor workingman.THE MAN WHO LIVES FOR GOLD tual life.Put him in heaven and he would think of nothing else.The young girl who loves the dance better than spiritual life would be unhappr in heaven.To my mind, said Mr.3Schi- hverea, the dance is one of the main instruments in the devil's hands in sending \u2018thousands of young men and women to perdition.Archbishop Corrigan.at a large mass meeting in New York recent- lv, appealed to the audience, in Gcd's name, to stamp cut this habit of dancing.It is demoralizing.Dancers in heaven in their unregenerated state, would be in torture.The entire nature must be renewed by a spiritual nature.That which is flesh is flesh and that which is spirit ts spirit.The nunregenerated soul cannot enter heaven.\u2018oung men and young women, in God's name, do not let anything in thls world keep you from the next.What is the new life ?It is not trying to do the best we can; it is not going to church; it is not being baptized; it is not confirmation: it is not taking the sacrament.The man who takes the sacrament in his unregenerated state will be punished, and the oftener he takes It in that state the greater the punishment.The new birth is not reformation.It is doing what Christ tells us to do; it is turning from sin and coming just as we are looking, trusting and accepting Christ.All those here this morning who cannot say they are Lorn again let them declde at once.A large number of persons responded to the invitation extended to accept Christ, by rising to their feet, and remained for a short time after the service.THE AFTERNOON MEETING.Mr.Schiverea's text in she afternoon at the men's ineetinz was taken from Gal.vi, T and §: \u2018Be not deceived: God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man sowetn, that shall he also reap.For he that sow- eth to his flesh, shall of the flesh reap \u2018Every man Is a sower,\u2019 sail Mr.Schil- verea; \u2018he Is either a good or a bad man: he has Ilcarred to love God or he has not.We are all conscious of the fact that it ts impossible for man not to know he 1x sowing either goed or bad seed.The first thought in this subject is that of \u2018conscience.\u2019 One of the grandest things Ged has given to us, is a conscience.What ie conscience?It is Ged Almighty's voice talking to man.Conscience to man is like the governor tn the engine; it regulates his life.Man cannot go to ruin unless he demoralizes conscience.The war to demoralize conscience is to dirobey \u2018ts promptings.The second thought is influence.Every man without an influence is a blank.The boy is what the father is.Fathers, if you want your boys to be a credit to vou when you are dead and gone.be carefui how you live now.day are drunkards because their fathers were drunkards.If you want to know what kind of a man you are look at vour influence.shall reap a drunken life.{nations successfully and had come out | with the brightest of prospects and when | 1 saw him

Why?Because of this infernal cup.Al little while ago I visited a Keeley insti- | tute.I did not find in that institute fools, knaves or idiots, I found some of the brightest men in the United States.There is the influence of bad company This subject shows us The way to change the sinful nature Is: Take the man who does - whiskey man, in his unregenerated state, | does not care for church, nor for spiri- ; corruption; but he that soweth to the.Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.\u2019 | Thousands of men to- | Young i Every man that sows whirkey | again.A college boy, : young man who preverts vou 1 whom I knew, had passed all his exam-:a stand {or right, wii | \"ot | Which Leads to br mariee Le ; said Mr.Sehiverva, | SLOT LE su as mnch ns the rar never Lave toucher been for Li) con pa The speaker fate of Enter.Tn concede asked all the pen he said, to pice 10 00, In the large and +0 showel a desirs 4 10 ) trom the face: THE EVE The subies 7 was taken fr, I do to be wo a tale, sal nr >= Gr ai ann re qe.where poude a 5 - I Tweljiove thre nt.\u2018 CTHRTOTOS Vie VU -, GI GMT text soc Ba hedieve any jaan or wick-] or care} =- i place that vel tu) out the were of Lun ce Some provide get ow and empty pe Town petiod to erv out fr Others are hrought on ile preached gospel too preached hy the vil 9° +.yen and women will te.out \u2018 What must I da Others will not yield ra - they are led to da «9 Hs + pain they suffer: iro of God.This is wh.Christ in a Moodle mous days aud five nivt+s against the woric God, but it was of, T° ua in.Others are là +, of our text deranse comes from the goo; 1.sees the WRINKLED PFRON \u2018F who is plading vis « tien of her \" v; hs a my mother young man.unfiinchingiy de 1 0 is right and for >.rae that young ano.i the man that ¢ give me the von +, (will say \u201cI will * ; I | I refoire sat Me - er's sake.\u2019 Pet w + of salvation.There ts roth ng wud oo to-morrow or at our copverfencs > a man and woman is going 19 PCT i by this awful sin of precrastinat °, this matter is to be decided, it R&-*\" .\u2019 \u2018 0 IE Se vd M | A Tn a 894.Company I LI had oy he aw.and «wn Fehiver why.ver, - - 1,021 3 4 vo Doverai r lita, Saved 20 F+i until o 11 Moxpar, Octoser 29, p\u2014\u2014 \u2014\u2014_\" \u2014 Ta now.Procrastination makes 6 11x and agnostics than anything go es away the desirs.The men >: 1, Why actended the Mills meetings, \u201c.r.and are not saved are much +p quay now.There is less hope for \"|r thou wouldst be saved thou = t procrastinate.If we are going ; must come in God\u2019s way.Wo must havo the con- Fe saved ve syst repent.we {our WI The army of men who #° at this afternoon\u2019s meeting ac- CS iziag their bellef in what I had to , 1: zet the consent of their wills.\u201c+ make up our minds to do what \u201c< vs tp do.What saves men is \u201c> à fuil surrender to God.Take a werd.Put your trust in him.oo walt for feeling cor emotion, these = gs vom after.\"2 - nolusion, Mr.Schiverea made a seine appeal to these who were unsaved \u201cLoxe a start.A large number res- -1.! and remained for an after ser- .«here many more signified their de- is +2 live better lives.ce AID FOR LAVAL.OLLE(TIVE PASTORAL LETTER FROM THE BISHOPS OF THE PROVINCE.«be \u201cA os rm ma a 4 collective pastoral letter signed by J the Roman Catholic bishops of the ecclesiastical province of Montreal, was pad in all the churches, yesterday.The pet of the document is to solicit aid on p:naii of the Montreal branch of Laval [versity 7x2 letter opens by referring to the im- ze of university work which is des- tty train and form the leaders among rapns.The popes bave always given tye sreatest attention to this work, ana > many discussions that preceded .-.fnal establishment of a Roman Ca- 3 university in Montreal show how -portint the question was considered by e coumunity.The bishops then go on to set forth the present position cf the different faculties, go! they say.\u2018In the earliest stages the +ury of theology had its palace at the ¢ » .{ the mountain, in a seminary, Lo which none other in America, perbaps not even in Europe, could compare.\u201d In re- zar! > the faculties cf law and medicine, jou know, dear brethren, that we may say that they are practically without shelter, ¢.- the lectures of these faculties are de- \u2018rered in halls, which are poorer than the H1> class-rooms of our elementary \u201cls, This state of affairs has lasted «ently long.We would have been bappy to end it had it been within our prwer.But the difficulties which hin- d-red the execution of our projects seem- el insurmourtable.Finally, providence came to our assistance.The Seminary ot S:, Bulnice.after giving to our country two establishments, of which we may be proud\u2014the Caradian College in Rome,and tte Montrea!

DEFENDED \u2014 THE oo UT source for relief.The ultimatum is in the plainest of English, and it is made quite clear that the Manitoba Government will not consent to the Tre-estab- lishment of separate schools in this province.Some months ago the Provincial Government received from Ottawa a memorial of a committee of the Privy Coun- eil of Canada upon the petition of the Roman Catholics of Manitoba and the Territories for relief in regard to school matters.The hope was expressed In the document that the legislatures of Manitoba and the Territories would consider the matters complained of in the petition and take measures to give redress.To this\" document the Manitoba Government makes the following reply, and while it is in terms the answer of the Provincial Government to that of the Dominion, it may also be taken as the former government's answer to the Roman Catholic deputation which recently waited upon it, as the questions at issue are identical in the two cases:\u2014 This government has bad under consideration a report of a committee of the Honorable the Privy Council of Canada, approved by His Excellency the Govern- or-General on July 26, 1894.The hope is expressed in the above-mentioned document that the Legislatures of Manitoba and the North-West Territories respectively will take into consideration at the earliest possible moment the matters which are complained of in the petition which is the subject of the report, and which are said to create dissatisfaction among Roman Catholics, not only in Manitoba and the North-West Territories, but likewise throughout Canada, and may take speedy measures to give relief in all matters in relation to which well founded complaint or grievance is ascertained.THE SCHOOL LAW is enacted by the Legislature and the duty of the executive is to carry out its provisions.Educational legislation, however, is of such importance as to be matter of government policy, and it is therefore to be presumed that the above report has been forwarded, in order that the executive may declare its position on the subject matter of the report.That portion of the report which deals with educational matters in Manitoba, takes as its basis certain statements contained in a memorial addressed to His Excellency the Governor-Generad-in-Council, by His Eminence Cardinal Taschereau, the Archbishop of Quebec, and by other archbishops of the Roman Catholic Church in Canada.* The first statement of fact is as follows: \u2018In 1890 the laws were passed changing school system and replacing it by other enactments, which are.for a portion of the community, a source of grief, regret and hardship.The result of the new system is purely and simply the legal suppression of all Roman Catholic schools, with the rights and privileges they enjoyed previously to school laws in 1890.Roman Catholic ratepayers have now to help to support Protestant schools, which are exactly what they were and to which, naturally, Roman Catholic parents cannot conscientiously gend their children.\u2019 The second statement of fact is as follows: \u2018 That for the last four years the Roman Catholics of Manitoba have been subjected to urfair and unjust treatment resulting from a change in the school laws in 1890; that they have asked in vain for relief.and that, instead of a remedy, they have been made the victims of fresh injustice in the new Manitoba law, 57 Victoria, chapter 23, assented to on March 2, 1894, one of the provisions of which forbids aid to be given by any municipality to any school not conducted according to the school system adopted in 1890.The effect of this enactment is stated by the memorialists to be, \u2018that no municipality, even one exclusively Roman Catholic, without a single Protestant in its limits, has any power to levy a single dollar for Roman Catholic schools, while a Roman Catholic municipality, where there are ten Protestant children, {s obliged by law to levy on all Roman Catholics.ag well as on the parents of the ten Protestant children.the money required for the education of the ten Protestant children.\u2019 It is also stated that the act of 1894 decrees confiscation of schoo! property in all districts which do not submit their schools to the new law, even although school property may have been acquired by Roman Catholics with their own money.THE TRUE FACTS may be briefly stated as follows: Previous to the year 1890 there had been two sets of schools, Protestant and Roman Catholic, and provision was made by law for their maintenance and government.The maintenance was effected by a spe- cla]! school rate, levied upon each district for its own purposes, a general municipal rate levied by the municipality and divided among the school districts in the municipality, and a grant from the government, which came out of the provincial treasury.In 1590 the above system was entirely changed.and a single set of schools was established.These schools are maintained by rates and grants, as above set forth.They are non-sectarian public schools.The law makes no definition between Roman Catholics and Protestants, or between denominations of any kind.It is true that the Roman Catholic people complain that they are not treated as they should be, but the ground of complaint has not been properly stated.It is sald that unfair distinction is made against Rcman Catholics.As a matter of fact no distinction has been made against any one.The Roman Catholic people demand that they shall be singled out from the rest of the community, and that special class legislation + - The statement that the Roman Catholic people are compelled to pay for the education of Protestant children creates a false impression.The law is not responsible for any such effect.The correct statement of the fact is that all taxpayers contribute to the education of all children whose parents send them to the public schools.All taxable property is assessed for public school purposes, and all citizens have the same right to make use of the public schools.Roman Catholic people have the same power to avail themselves of the schools as Protestant people.The religious exercises are non-sectarian, and are not used except with the sanction and with the direction of the trustees elected by all the ratepayers without distinction of creed.If a Roman Catholic refuses to take advantage of the public school, and decides voluntarily to maintain another school, he is exercising his own judgment in the same way as any person who prefers to send his children to a private schoë, to the support of which he contributes.Neither of such persons, however, by so doing gains any immunity from payment of school rates.As to the question of confiscation of school property, it is to be observed that the same question was the subject of argument before the judicial committee of the Privy Council in the case of Barrett vs.Winnipeg, and that tribunal ex- prassed the opinion that the Roman Catholics were somewhat better treated than the Protestant people in regard to the disposition of school property under the act of 1890.In so far as the act of 1594 is concerned.there is no ground for the statement attributed to the memorial that it decrees the confiscation of school property, in districts which had not submitted their schools to the new law.The act of 1894 has reference to the distribution of grants of money raised by taxation upon all taxable property.It deals with the public schoo! system and in no way affects the ownership of any property of a schoo! district which does not submit to the Public Schools act, and which is, therefore, not a public school.THE QUESTIONS WHICY ARE RAISED by the report now under consideration have been the subject of most voluminous discussion in the Legislature of Manitoba during the past four years.All of the statements made in the memorial addressed to the Governor-General, and many others have been made repeatedly to and been considered by the legislature.That body has advisedly enacted legislation which gives to every citizen equal rights and equal privileges, and makes no distinction respecting nationality or religion.After a harassing legal contest the highest court in the British Dominions has decided that the Legislature in enacting the law of 1890 was within its constitutional powers, and that the subject of education is one committed to the charge of the provincial legislatures.Under these circumstances, the executive of the province sees no reason for recommending the Legislature to alter the principles of the legislation complained of.It has been made clear that there is no grievance, except it be a grievance that the Legislature refuses to subsidize particular creeds out of the public funds, and the Legislature can hardly be held to be responsible for the fact that their refusal to violate what seems to be a sound and just principle of government creates, in the words of the report, \u2018dissatisfaction amongst Roman Catholics.not only in Manitoba and the North-West Territories, but likewise throughout Canada.\u2019 It is further to be observed that 1nas- much as the Public Schools act of 1830 bas been held to be within the jurisdiction of the nrovincial Legislature, and the act of 1894 is but an amendment of the act of 1890, made for the purpose of more fullv carrying out the plain intention of the first act, it is sufficiently clear that the act of 1894 is within the jurisdiction of the Legislature, and deals with a subject which provincial authority has power to regulate.Disallowance of the act of 1894, as suggested by the memorialists, would be a most unjustifiable attempt to prevent the Legislature from performing that duty which has been judicialiy declared to appertain to it.and it may be assumed that such dis- allowance would call forth an emphatic protest.The government and legislative assembly would unitedly resist by every constitutional means any such attempt ro pterfere with their provincial autonomy.\u2014\u2014\u2014 MR.DICKINSON NOMINATED.Gorrie, Ont., Oct.27.\u2014The Conservative convention of East Huron met yesterday, the attendance being large and enthusiastic.The executive committee, to whom had been submitted the names presented at the last meeting, reported recommending that Mr.E.L.Dickinson, barrister of Wingham, be nominated for the House of Commons.The recommendation was unanimously adopted.Mr.Dickinson, in a pithy speech, accepted the nomination.Addresses were then made by Dr.Chisholm, T.Garrow and N.C.Wallace, Comptroller of Customs.The latter was enthusiastically received, and his remarks were loudly applauded.The meeting closed with cheers for the Queen, Mr.Wallace and Mr.Dickinson.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 PROTESTED THEIR OWN ELECTIONS.St.John's, Nfld., Oct.27.\u2014A political bombshell was exploded here to-day, completely puncturing the effect of the Whiteway success in the election in the Tririty district on Tuesday last, when three Whiteway supporters were elected.These three candidates, during the counting of the votes and before the result was known.flled a formal protest, claiming that the election was invalid owing to the fact that a number of voters were without ballots.The government now claims that the protest made by these men is sufficient to nullify their election.A new complication is thus added to an already extraordinary situation.from the Georgian Bay to Lake Huron, surmounting the intervening lofty plateau by means of locks each way supplied by water from the summit level.It has long been admitted that the supply of water available for this purpose would be wholly Inadequate even for the amount of shipping that Mr.Capriol had in mind, and a fortiori for the large number of large vessels that now traverse the upper lakes.Nobody has for many years past said a word in favor of the construc-\\ tion of such \u2018a canal.The last promoter of the idea was Mr.David Blain, who, when he represented West York in the House of Commons, obtained a committee to investigate the proposal, with the result that he educated himself out of it and turned afterwards to a ship railway as a more feasible plan of overcoming the difficulty.Nothing has ever bgen done to bring the latter within the domain of the practical except to secure from the Ontario Legislature a charter for its construction; and it is safe to say that nothing will be done until, first, the use of ship railways bas been proved practicable on some less extensive scale than would be involved in this experiment, and second, the St.Lawrence canals and much of the river are deepened for the passage of larger vessels than are able to pass at present from Kingston to Montreal.For two years past Toronto has been stirred by a controversy over another project known as THE SHIP CANAL AND AQUEDUCT SCHEME.This differs from the project of Mr.Ca- priol in one important respect\u2014he gave the public to understand exactly where the termini of his canal would be, the route, it would follow between these points, and the source from which he expected to obtain an adequate supply of water; the present promoters cannot be induced to say where their ship canal is to begin or end, or whether they are to depend on water from the summit level to take the ships up and down the slopes.Apparently, so far as one may infer from their loose talk on the subject, they propose to carry vessels from the Georgian Bay into Lake Simcoe by means of Lake Simcoe water\u2014an undertaking that presents no formidable engineering obstacle.The mystery that no one has yet penetrated is how they are to get vessels from Lake Simcoe to Lake Ontario.The intervening height of land is very high and is miles in breadth.A deep cut canal, fed from Lake Simcoe, is well known to be the only possible solution, but there is not water enough in Lake Simcoe to mairtain a heavy traffic and the cost of making such a cut, including the disposal of the removed \u2018rock\u2019 would be so great as to take the project quite out of the range of the practical.All this is now tacitly admitted, as indicated by the way in which the canal feature of the scheme has been quietly dropped by the promoters.They still adhere, however, to the \u2018aqueduct.\u201d When that was first proposed it was to serve a twofold purpose.First, to furnish a supply of water for domestic use to Toronto and other places along the line of the stream, and second, to furnish power for manufacturing and illuminating purposes, the water power being converted into electric energy.Last year's discussion had the effect of eliminating the water supply feature from the scheme.The public seem still divided in opinion as to whether Toronto should continue to draw water from Lake Ontario or try to secure it from Lake Simcoe by gravitation, but there is a growing preponderance of popular support for the view that the city must in either case control its own water works.Practically, therefore, the great \u2018Ship Canal and Aqueduct\u2019 scheme has been whittled down to A POWER AQUEDUCT and recent events seem to indicate that even it has received its deathblow.The promoters have been unprecedentedly earnest and persistent in their efforts to secure from the City Council beforehand a franchise of the city streets for main laying purposes.Such franchises have already been given to the Consumers\u2019 Gas Company, the Telephone Company, and the Electric Light Company, and before another is given away a large number of the aldermen are determined to find out something more than the public as yet know about the feasibility of the scheme and the financial standing of the promoters.On the former point it bas so far proved impossible to extort anything from those who are urging the city to confêr the franchise.One letter has appeared\u2014' from the engineer of the Public Works Department of the province\u2014in which the writer endeavors to show that if the deep cut aqueduct were made through the height of land the rainfall of the Lake Simcoe basin would keep up a sufficient supply of water for power purposes.The soundness of this opinion is questioned but even if this were true it does not touch the very important conjecture whether the cost of the deep cut would not be too great to make it possible to carry out the scheme.No light of any importance has yet been thrown on tbe financial side of the scheme.Mr.Comstock the millionnaire \u2018medicine man,\u2019 of Brock.ville, is the president of the company but he stated the other day in a published interview that though he has paid an instalment of the preliminary deposit he does not know who the treasurer is.Talk of this kind is not calculated to inspire the public with confidence in the project.The worst blow the latter has yet recetv- ed, however, was given to it at the last meeting of the Public Works Committee of the City Council.THE LATTER HAD REFERRED THE SCHEME \u2014 including the conditions on which the street franchise should he granted\u2014to the committee with percmptory instructions to report on it definitely one way or the | other.The committee promptly added a clause to the agreement depriving the aqueduct company of the privilege of selling electric energy to any other parties at a lower rate than to the city of To- ronto.The chief promoter at once point- purposes.\u2014 GRAND TRUNK AFFAIRS.Toronto,

HORROR.SIXTEEN PERSONS PERISH IN A FIRE TRAP.Seattle, Wash., Oct.27.\u2014The people of this city were shocked to-day by a hotel horror, which overshadows in its fatalities the great fire of 1889, when the greater portion of the city was laid in ashes.In the destruction of the West street hotel this morning at least sixteen inmates lost their lives amid all the agonies and horrors of cremation under such surroundings.The victims identified so far by shreds of unburned clothing are as follows: \u2014 F.W.Boltman, Angus McDonald.C.Wilson Anderson.Mrs.J.W.Huffman and two daughters.Andrew

debate.The subject was, \u2018Resolved, that the existence of the English Hcuse of Lords is beheficial to the empire.\u201d This resolution was ably defended by Mr.Mitchell, law \u201996, who during his discourse, stated that if the aboliticn of the House of Lords took place, the constitution Great Britain would also fall, and that i?was necessary to have a second chamber to keep the representatives of the people in check.Mr.Donohue, law \"06, followed in support of the negative, and during his discourse, showed to good advantage the irrespensibility of the peers, and claimed that by refusing to sanction a bill passed by the Commons.they were objecting to the voice of the people of England.One of the points of the nega- \u2018 tive was that the House of Lords did not : represent the people, an a body which fire trap with a maze of passages which .\u2018would confuse any person in the absence of lights.The impossibility of escape from such a death pen, when flame« were licking up everything within reaci and suffocating smoke filled the heated air, \u2018was apparent to the firemen and horrified spectators on the street below.When the department responded to the alarm the building was a mass of flames.The news quickly spread that there were half a hundred guests in the blazing trap, twenty of whom were transients.It was half an hour after midnight when the fire apparatus came rushing to the scene of death, but the fire broke out so suddenly and with such force that the flames spread to every part of the structure, and a terrible panic prevailed among the Inmates.Escape by the narrow stairways was cut off to those that got that far and all rushed to the only avenue of eseape, the windows overlooking the street.Not a person in the building escaped with anything except tbe clothes they had on them.After two hard hours work the firemen had the flames under control.Only the gutted hulk of the hotel was left.As soon as the work of scarching for the dead was considered safe it was begun and thirteen bodies were quickly found.In one room were found the blackened bodies of a man and his wife and children, An arm of one child was thrown carelessly over the side of the bed as if it had passed from life without being awakened to suffer.In one corner of another chamber of death were the bodies of a man and woman sitting erect.All the flesh haa been burned off.The skulls were blackened and grinning.The stumps of the man\u2019s arms were closed over his head, as if he had died fighting the flaming foe.In the charred hand of a woman, found twisted and contorted in a hallway, was a bunch of grey hair, torn from her head in the agony of suffocation.In all parts of the trap were picked up skulls and bones nf those who bad been living guests a few hours before.A coroner's jury was summoned, and, after hearing the testimony, returned a verdict to the effect that the fire was caused by the explosion of a lamp.The furv also expressed its opinion that such buildings were totally unfit for lodging purposes, and recommended that proper steps be taken to prevent the recurrence of such disasters._\u2014\u2014\u2014 CHRISTIAN WORKERS\u2019 CONVENTION.Rochester.Oct.27.\u2014The second session of the International Christian Workers convention opened at the Central Church in this city at nine o'clock yezterday morning with
