of the dead, but that would have been imnossible, even lf they had been permitted to approach the casket, which they were not, as the coffin was tightly closed.When everything had been got in rea:liness the signal was given and the train started on its solemn errand at precisely 9.10 o'clock.THE FLORAL TRIBUTES.Besides the wreaths sent by the Queen and Sir Charles Tupper there were

MACHIAVEL.\u2014_\u2014 THE AMERICAN RAILWAY EDITOR AND SIR WILLIAM VAN HORNE.Mr.McNichol, general passenger agent of the C.P.R., back from the great rallway meeung in Chicago, smiled this morning at the notion of serious conflict with the western lines.\u201cThere is always a disposition on the part of the American lines to jump on the C.P.R.They think we take their trade and they object to our company doing a certain class of business, which they think we have no right to.This \u2018a particularly noticeable, of course, in the west.But as for conflict, tbat is nonsense, and as for that differential to London, we always had it.Certain lines would doubtless like to see our western rates increased, so that we would Jose the business we have built up, but I sald at the meeting that the company would continue to use it own lines and push its business as much as possible.The meeting was really called for the adjustment of rates, upon all the lines west of Chicago.The rates in certain sections during the World's Fair were greatly lowered, which hurt the overland rates generally.Attempts have been made to get them back to a proper basis, but so many conflicting interests bad to bes regarded, that this was found to be almost impossible.It was proposed at the meeting to form a large association which should take in all the lines west of Chicago, with local sub-com- mittees which would report to the general body.À great deal of discussion took place about this association, and there will be another meeting early in January at which rules and regulations will be submitted.The association would adopt, not a pooling arrangement, but a scheme by which business would be in som@- sort apportioned and rates fixed.The idea is a good one, and if it be properly carried out, it ought to be the means of removing friction.\u2019 Most of the large papers in the United States have a railway editor, and one of his functions appears to be to make the publie believe that the C.P.R.is the gieatest enemy the country has.It is sald to be rapacious, stealing trade in all directions.Congress is regularly called upon to pass laws which shall curb this corporation.the head of which, Sir V/il- liam Van Hcrne, is a perfect Machiavelli of cunning and unscrupulous, and to circumvent whom is the duty of every patriot and statesman.The C.P.R, with its \u2018Soo\u2019 connections, has got a great deal of western business, which 1s gall and wormwood to the local lines, and it is always In order to dish up a hot column of abuse of the Canadian It is patriotic, and thrills the ul- tra-loyal citizen.In short, it is good business.Mr.McNichol ig familiar with this, and is willing t9 laugh at it, which he probably can afford to do, as when the papers are indignant, he is feeling bis way to increased business.road.ONTARIO DEATH DUTIES.Toronto, Dec.22.\u2014A carefully prepared estimate, based on the wills entered for probate, shows that the Ontario Government will this year collect $110,000 in taxes on the estates of the dead under the death duties act.pers MONTREAL CITY CHARTER.THE LAW RESPECTING EXPROPRIATIONS.Quebec, Dec.22.\u2014During the evening sitting of the Private Bills Committee the discussion of the Montreal bill was continued by Mr.Madore, Mr.McCord, Mr.Mathieu, Mr.Delorimier, Mr.Horace Archambault.Mr.Walter Drake, Dr.Hingston, Dr.Marcil, the Rev.Mr.Jeckyll, Ald.Prefontaine and others.The room was then cleared and the committee sat with closed doors for about an hour, when clause 22 was finally adopted in the following amended form: 1.Notwithstanding any law to the.contrary, the cost of expropriating each of the \u2018cllowing streets, namely, Pine avenue.Bleury street, Cathedral street, Lagauche- ticre stroet, from Windsor street to Cathedral, and Pantaleon streets shall be paid as follows: One half by the city and one half by the proprietors remaining on tits streets or parts of streets widened, prolonged or opened, assessed to a depth not exceeding one hundred feet.For the following streets: Ontario street, from Frontenac to Eastern limits; Beaudry street, St.Catherine street, from Desery to Harbor and from Desery street to the Eastern limits: Milton and inspector streets and Viger square the cost shall be paid as follows: One half by the city and one half by the proprietors interested as per existing roll prepared by the ccmmissioners in each case fixing the limits.The committee then adjourned until ten o'clock this morning, when the consideration of the bill was resumed.Mr.Fitzpatrick asked leave to make a declaration.He sald that hg had been induced to give a vote unger a mistake last evening.He desired\u201d to rectify, if possible, the injury that he might have done to interested parties in respect to expropriations.THE CITY'S BORROWING POWER.At Mr.Stephens\u2019 request, in order to enable the deputation of bankers and thers who bad arrived this morning to raturn home by the afternoon treins, the financial clauses of the bill relating Jo the city\u2019s borrowing powers were taker up and Ald.Hurteau was heard in support of them.Mr.Atwater, on behalf of a large number of citizens, opposed the clause declaring that it was absolutely necessary that there should be some Limit to the city's borrowing power.Ald.Smith read a statement from the members of the Finance Committee and the Mayor, dwelling on the great borrowing power of the city, and recommending that the limits be not extended, and that the clause be not passed, thus leaving last session\u2019s legislation in force.Ald.Smith continued to say that Toronto and other places had suffered by going too fast, and Montreal was following in their steps.Montreal had three milliong and a half of revenue, and surely she could keep within that amount.He characterized last year's St.Lambert Hill improvement legislation as monstrous, and sald that it made one's blood boil to see the way the city of Montreal was governed, to-day, when we never know where we are.The city's assessable value is $130,000,000, while its debts are $23,500,000 which can be Increased to twenty-five millions.The assessed value kas recently increased fifty percent, while the debt has increased 150 percent.Toronto has got a good scheme of local improvements, the proprietors to pay for them and it has a sinking fund, while Montreal bas none.The speaker deal: very exhaustively with his subject, going into a mass of flgures.Mr.Stephens made some remarks intended to show that the Improvements on St.Antoine and other streets could casily be deferred.Mr.Hague next took up the debate, speaking against the clause.Even the council was not a unit on the matter and then the Board of Trade, Real Estate Owners\u2019 Association, and the business men of the city were opposed to the legislation.Only one year had passed since the last legislation on the subject and there was no reason for seeking to now overthrow it.Mr.F.Wolferstan Thomas read a resolution from the Board of Trade directed against the clause in the present bil) and added a very strong protest himself in the same sense.He endorsed all that had been said on the same subject by the preceding speakers.Being limited for time he had to sit down before finishing his remarks and Ald.Stevenson was In a similar predicament.Ald.Stevenson recalled the fact that the majority of the finance committee was against the new clause and said that his ward and all the solid business men of the city were unanirnous in the same sense.After a regular bear garden scene the committee adjourned until 3 p.m.to admit of the House sitting.BUDGET BROUGHT DOWN.FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF THE PROVINCE READ BY THE PREMIER.REFLECTIONS ON THE MERCIER REGIME\u2014MR.BHEHYN'B REPLY\u2014THE KENNEDY SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS BILL KILLED.Quebec, Dec.22.\u2014The Speaker took the chair at 3.30 yesterday afternoon, when a number of petitions were received and also several reports of com- mittees- Mr.Auge asked permission to introduce a bill entitled \u2018An act respecting the Montreal Bar.\u2019 The Hon.Mr.Casgrain raised a question of order, taking the ground that the bill, which is Introduced as a public bill, is in reality a private bill.A long discussion ensued on this subject.The Speaker reserved his decision.The Hon.Mr.Taillon introduced a bill to amend the Municipal Code.The following bills were also duced: Bill Intituled\u2014An act to amend article 2658 of the Revised Statutes respecting the summoning of jurors.\u2014Mr.Descarries.Bill Intituled\u2014An act to amend the rall- way law respecting the payment of employees of railway companies.\u2014Mr.Le- mieux.Bill Intituled\u2014An act respecting the Circuit Court of the district of Montreal.\u2014 Hon.Mr.Casgrain.The Hon.Mr.Taillon moved that when the House adjourns on Friday, Dec.21, it do stand adjourned until Saturday, 22, of the same month, and that on and after Monday, Dec.24, there be two distinct sittings of the House per day, the first from 3 o'clock p.m.to 6 and the second from 7.30 p.m until adjournment.intro- THE BUDGET.Mr.Taillon then rose, amid loud applause, to read his budget speech, speaking for nearly an hour.He showed that while the deflcits during the Mercier regime were, from 1859 to 1592, respectively, $1,380,569.18, $1,444,236,09 and $1,- 742,651.02, that for last year, 1893-94, was but $220,202.28.In the latter mentioned year the receipts include $518,406.11 from new taxes imposed Ly the present administration.Moreover, under the Mer- cler administration the expenditure was divided in the budget, a large part of it being called special expenditure and charged to capital account.This classification has been done away with by the present administration.Even from the expenditure of 1892-98 that of 1853-94 shows a diminution of $26,834.27, the tctal figures for the former year being $4,190,- 522.85, and for the latter $4,164,188.58.For the coming fiscal year, 1895-96, the estimates of expenditure have been cut down so low that they amount to no more than $3,953,875.35, or a reduction from the outlay of 1882-93 of no less than $236,- 647.50.In regard to the actual standing of the provincial finances on June 30 last, Mr.Talllon shows that the consolidated debt was $28,196,754.33, and total obligations $32,478,352.82, including the $500,- 000 of temporary loan, the $1,251,515.79 of railway guarantee deposits and 31,868, - 234.82 of railway subsidies not yet paid and for the most part not yet earned.The assets of the provinoe, including $7,- 600,000, price of the sale of the Q., M., O.& O.are $11,130,537.91, making the excess of liabilities over assets $21,342,854.91.On thls subject the hon.gentleman said: \u2018Comp&\u2014ing this statement with that of last year, {t will be Been that the funded debt has been increased during the fiscal year by an amount of $8,092,488.33, owing to the substitution of the loan of July, 1893, for the loan of 1891, and the issue of the loan of March, 1894.On the other hand the liability for railway subsidies has been reduced by the sum of $2,924 - 969.13, $928,449 of this reduction being cffected by payments of subsidies earned, and the balance, consisting of subsidies lapsed under the act of last session.The temporary loans have been reduced by $1,200,000, and the railway guarantee deposits by $250,117.25.The cash in banks is $181,376.09 more and the outstanding warrants $155,145.01 less than at the same date in 1893, the general result being that the balance of lia- biltties over assets is June 30, 1894, $1,- 608,825.26 less than it was on June 30, 1893.This statoment of Habilities and assets is, as its hsading shows, only approximate, and it must continue to be approximate until the final determination of the accounts and claims between this province and the Dominlon and between this province and that of Ontario, which are now before the arbitrators aproint- ed for the sottlement thereof, and as the Common School fund is one of these accounts soto be determined, I have removed for the present frum the assets an item of $100,060, which is a part of our clalm against Ontario in the matter of this fund.\u2019 THE TAX REDUCTION.Speaking of the desired reduction of taxation, Mr.Taillon declared that it was difficult to say whether or not the new impost could be removed next year.Already that on the transfers of real estate had been reduced one-third.He believed the first reduction to make would be that on manufactures and commerce, then that on transfers, but that that on legacies should remain.Mr.Talllcn entered into full details of the late loan, showing that the province had still the right to borrow $3,000,000 more to replace existing obligations and expressed the bellef that under present conditions no new railway subsidies should be voted.He estimated the receipts for 1895-96 at $4,255,499.42, made up mainly of Domin- fon subsidy and interest on Dominion and trust funds, $1,277,799.42; interest on price of sale of Q.M.O.& O.Railway, $394,000; Crown lands, $936.500; administration of justice, $221,000; registration of stamps and fees, $65,000; licenses, $700,000; direct and other taxes, etc, $661,050.The proposed expenditure was published when the estimates were laid before the House.The hon.gentleman had this to say on the subject of the Dominion and provincial arbitration: \u2018During the present year, 1894, therc have bern only two sittings of the board of arbitration owing to delay asked for by the Ontario Government, but a large amount of work has been done towards the preparation of the cases on the part of the Province of Quebec.The arbitra\u2018ors have made two awards, on the Interest q.estion and the method of stating the accounts, the first on Nov.2, 1893, and the last on Aug.81, 1894.In the first award, the arbitrators decided that in making up the accounts between the Dominlon and the provinces interest on the excess of the debt at date of confederation should only be charged at the end of each half year and not in advance, as contended by the Dominion.The Dominion has appealed on this point to the Supreme Court.The appeal has been argued, and as soon as judgment {8 rendered the stating of those accounts, which ie an important and large branch of the arbitration, may be proceeded with.The arbitrators have also made their award on the matter of the Montreal Turnpike Trust debentures, maintaining the contentions of Quebec, and ordering \u201cthat all of the charges made in the accounts of the Dominion egainst the Province of Quebec for principle or interest on the Montreal Turnpike Trust debentures be eliminated from the same.\u2019 As these charges, exclusive of the interest that they would carry, amount to over $360,000, this award is a very satisfactory one for our province.The hon.gentleman terminated by saying that the present administration had nothing to blush for and It faced the future with confidence.The Legislature and people of the province ought to share these sentiments, to be public-spirited and patriotic and to work courageously to repair the errors of the past and to ensure & prosperous future.THE SPEECH ORITICISED.The Hon.Mr.Shehyn replied to the budget speech.He first congratulated the Premier and Treasurer on his effort and then started in to haul him over the coals for his allusion to the shameful misdoings of the last government.He next showed that the Conservative Gow- ernment was responsible for the existing financial condition, owing to their baving established the railway policy.The management of the sinking fund also came in for unfavorable comment, and then the railway policy was again thrown up in the government's face.He defended some of the grants made by his government on the ground that the same roads that received them had been sub- sidfzed by the federal government.There had been a deficit for a long time under the Conservative government, and the latter should throw no stones at their opponents, particularly as the Mercier Government, which they so much abused, came into power under this burden of debt.It had shown a liberal and wise policy towards deserving objects, such as the cause of education, etc., and its five years of government had added only $7.600,000 to the debt.The blame for the great cost of the Parliament Buildings and the Quebec Court House was also saddled on the back of the Conser- Pvatives because the Mercier Government had to finish them according to the former\u2019s plans.Mr.Stephens at six o'clock moved the adiournment of- the debate until to-day at three p.m.The Legislative Council yesterday afternoon, on motion of Mr.de Boucherville, killed Mr.Kennedy's bill relating to the Montreal School Commissioners.NEW

his dismissal.My letter did not allege, nor was it intended to convey the impression, that the company's action was due to its ob-' the principles beld by Mr.smith, but that it was dus to his activity in advocating thos?principles.You have at consideruble forth that what the comnany objects tn that an emplavee cC! the compaîrs should actively take sides on a gn.=ticn on which the community Is divided, even \u2018alth ugh he do so eniy on the afternoon and evening previous to the assault and that on - several ocrasions he ha! Leon left in \u201ccharge of the station during Mr.Smith's absence.In this coonection vou will re- i member that 1 informed vou that on the {eecasion first referrol tn and thaï on gone, if not all, of the provious ocrasions, i Mr.Smith had atsenteé himself from cury without permirsicn.I Yelieve that 1t was admitted by Mr.Smith himself, at the trial, tbat when he was assavited he was aslcep, although at that time he : should have beer on duty as cperator.You will alan recollect that Mir.Smith having applied through Detective : Carpenter to Mr.Brady for leave of absence to go to New Marlboro, «for the purpose of identifying one of his i assailants, and havinz ohtalned such { leave of abseace and a pass to Nowport sand return.remain.absent: fron duty i for ten days after his return from New ! Marlimro without communicatine with , Mr.Brady, and that it was while he was : so absent without leave that he delivered ia temperance lectures at Richford.It 18 not custoinary with this company \u2018to discuss With persons not directly in- in the dealérs ii a contraband article, from the\u2018 Mass., : to the i terested the reascna for discharging rp.iahinz, rowariing or otherwise dealing with its men.bat yon will recalleet that in this rasé an exception was male and \u201cthat I offered vol every facility, includ | ing free transportation over our line, if | !you would, by virttingz Inealtties in which | | Messrs.Smith and Brad were sarlefr yourself as to *Ye pronriety of Mr.Smith's discharge, ard it will also be within vour memory thut I offered {5 ar- renge a meéctips hetwean vourself an Mr.Bradv, or.if it was desired.to meet your committer myself to digeuss the \u2018 marter.None of t sc offers was taken advantage of, anl so far as I know none of tha suggestions ade were {ol- lowed.It is not, however.as | have said, necessary to go into these details in o-der to support tho conclusion that Mr.Smith's vsefalness as agent for the Canadian Pa- ctfic Railway Company is over.The - \u201c - 4 tl known : ton of the occult influence which had brought about Mr.Smith's dismissal.Your offer to meet our committee and discuss the question was retrlered nugatory by the digmissal of Mr.Smith.In the management of your company it is nat our par: to interfere, but when an emplovee of your company is dismissed.as alleged by the assistant superintendent and now confirmed by yours=2lf.for publely advocating those principles wilieh this Alliance is orzanized to promot», and for promoting the ohser- vances of tho laws of his country, it is right for us tn express io you the prote:t «f a very large portion of the people of Canada, and th=ir indignation at secing of their number thus suffer for conscience sake.It is, of course, for tu» company to judge how best to promote iis own business, but when so large a prrtien of the public as those who support temrnerarre laws and seex their eufercoimnent is openly snubbed in the interests.and it wenll som at the instance, of jllicit and On murderonus transport of which your company seeks profit, we mav fairly ask the question whethor the company is acting even the part of worldly wisdom.Your dselara- tion that if one of the company's ofiicers or employees so conducts hims-lf as to antagonize a section of the community, or even in a manner which is likely to bring about that result, the company\u2019s interests are iniuriously affectel, and the company will naturally do what every husiness man would do, namely, \u2018protect Îts interests by his removal, is definite and distinct and seems to apply definite attitude arsumed towards the advocates of temperanca by vour as- cistant runarintendent.His conguct is certain to be Tremermber-d with res-nt- ment all over Canada.so lonz as his continuance in offievs and tha endorsement oi his at are the Index of the policy of yeur comyany.I rcmain, dear sir, Very rezpectinily vour,, J.Ti.CARSON, Secretary._ \u201c> - IN DARKNESS.A corre-pondent

and acting mayor at Quebec.Mr.Justice Davidson proposed the fo!- lowing resolution: \u2018That this meeting of the citizens of Montreal desires to express its deep sorrow at the death of Sir John Sparrow David Thompson, P.C., K.C.M.G., Q.C., Premier and Minister of Justice of the Dominion, and wishes to place on rocord its sincere appreciation of his dovoted and eminent services to this country.\u2019 This was seconded by 8.St.Onge, and was adopied without a dissentient voice.\u2018The next resoluticn was proposed by Pishonp Bond, as follows: \u2018That this meeting desires to convey to T.ady Thompson tbe respectful assurance cf the heartfelt sympathy of the citizens of Montreal wilh her and her family in their irreparable loss.Mi.Ilenry Hogan seconded the resolution, and it was unanimously adopted.Senator Desjardins moved, seconded by Judge Pagnuelo: \u2018That this meeting rec.ogr*zes with pleasure the establishment of a national fund for Sir John Thonp- son's family fm commemoration of his high character and distinguished services to this country, and hopes the citizens of Montreal will respond generously to the appeal.\u2019 After this resolution was passed Mr.Calixte Lebeuf interrupted the meeting with a proposition to call the fund a Conservative instead of a national one, but his motion founi no seconder.* The last resolution was proposed by Sir Joseph Hickson, seconded by Senater Murphy, and carried as follows: \u2018That to committee of gentlemen be appointed to further the collection of subscripticns from the citizens of Montreal, together with a treasurer to receive such contributions for deposit in the Bank of Montreal.\u2019 Eloquent speeches and sympathetic were made by the chairman, Ald.Mec-.Bride, Mr.Justice Davidson, Bishop Bond, the Hon.Senator Desjardins, and the Hon.Judge Pagnuelo, etc.Mr.Geo.Hadrill was appointed secretary to the mheetinz.A FRENCH OPINION.The \u2018Croix\u2019 blames Mr.Calixte Le- Beuf for pretending that the French- Canadians cf Montreal are in most dest!- tute circumstances, when as a matter of fact, money is more than ever being squandered for useless or dangerous amusements, such as theatres, balls, barrooms, etc.It thinks that such language will be detrimental in the eye of outsiders who are .not acquainted with that if a Liberal government were to take the place of the present administration, Mr.LeBeuf would then at once see everything in a different color.Referring to the Thompson fund, the \u2018Croix\u2019 says that help to the peor and ald to the widow of the worthy

Nov.12.Vv hen the meetings opened the city was in a vortex of political excitement.The municipal election had been an unusually strongly contested and exciting one, but almost immediately matters of religion took the precedence.The audiences increased each day until the first Sunday when the three largest edifices in the city were packed to their utmost capacity.It soon became necessary to limit attendance tween certain ages, mothers and men\u2019s pe and admit by ticket.A deepening religious conviction was apparent at every service, until enquirers were numbered by scores and hundreds.A unique feature of the meetings was two days, Wednesday and Thursday of the second week, devoted to an evangelistic convention, all pastors represented in the union movement throughout the state being invited.A large number came.Free rtertainment was provided for them, and a morning service was added, Mr.Mills preaching, and other brethren speaking.Methods of successful work were discussed, and in the afternoon and evening the great object lesson of a revival at white heat instructed and inspired.Friday of the last week was observed as a niid-week Sabbath.From ten till twelve, and from three till five every leading business place in the city was voluntarily closed.Roman Catholic, Jew and Protestant, without dissent, closed their doors, and the city officials ordered all saloons closed.pervaded the streets, and great audiences gathered to hear the gospel, morning, afternoon and evening.It was the most impressive spectacle ever witnessed in this city.The last day, Sunday, the morning and early evening services were held in the Opera House, hundreds being turned away at 10.30, when enquirers and the unconverted with an immediate friend only were admitted.At 6.30 two thousand men assembled, and with almost painful hush and expectancy and eager- ress listened to the word, scores of them accenting the invitation to confess Christ.Two similar meetings had been held for mon only previously, and at each service more came than could be accommodated.At three o'clock a converts\u2019 meeting was heid in the church, and an overflow meeting in the First Baptist Church, both Sunday quiet: where a representativ> of tle unhlusping!ly eves, thai tures,\u201d mother sex is set forth so of thousands of in the focus , if a man's own mother, sister or Jaugh- ter, stood thus

paragraph from a western paper: That class of ministers who go from place to place, and from one denominatien to another, seeking xet- tlements, should be carefully watched by our presbyteries and churches.Many of them are suave, plausible and tongue, | but they are wolves in sheep's clothing.By some means they frequently succeed in getting into our pulpits in the Jarxe towns as well as in the rural Cis:ricts, For a while they Ne satisfaction, snd are regarded as inen of wonderful gifts, and so they are in their wav.Their true character vnfortunately is not known in many cases until they have destroved: the church and demoralized the com- | munity.It is discovered, however, bo- | fore they go away that they have ruined ;« churches elsewhere, or are under su-= : picion, if not suspension, in our own cr other denomirations.is it not time tn sound tue note of elarm, and call upon our presbyteries and churches to be on, their guard against such men?It is lamentable io find how casily gnHled our sessions and chirch members are by these ecclesiastical tramps.Would to God we could convince our people of two things, namely: first, that ministers of real worth and true eloquence are not running about the country seeking any place that may by chance be vacant: and second, that it is all-important to ascertain the antecedents of & man before inviting him to preach in a vacant pulpit.It would be a great blessing if all the churches could be persuaded to consult the presbyteries mcre than they do in regard to the character and atanding of the candidates for their vacant pulpits before they are invited to preach thers Fortunately, the number of the men des- scribed above is very small, but it ought to be made smaller.A word to the wise is a good Latin proverb.Cexamp.e

\u2018 he was much impressed with the magnitude of the work before Dr.Thomson.It had been the general impression that the field was too small to necessitate the appointment of a regular missionary, but after hearing Mr.Lighthall's report, it was his present belief that the field was too large end Dr.Thomson needed help.Short addresses were given by the Rev.Professor Scrimger, the Rev.Dr.Campbell, the Rav.Dr.Smyth, the Rev.T.S.McWilliams, the Rev.John Nichols, Rev.A.J.Mowatt and the Rev.B.Scctt, all of whom were in thorough sympathy with the movement on foot with regard to benefiting the Chinese.Dr.Thomson was cailed upon to give an address and said: Wa have in this kind of effort city, home and foreign nrissions combined, and then went on to show its importance in two particulars, the argument of need and advantage.There are in the hundred and fifty laundnes and other places of business and boarding houses some 450 Chinese.At times this number is considerably increased by a transient population.There are EVIL INFLUENCES AT WORK and recently a heathen funeral passed through our streets to our consecrated 3,0} the General Assembly to appoint \u2014~issionary well qualified to work and | _- good amongst theses peopls.He was: \u201cad to say that that petition had been: granted.and that Dr.Thomson, who was FAMILIAR WITH THE CHINESE rsople and the Chinese language and who }:bored for many years in Canton, China, à 1 besn appointed.It gave him plea- \u201cre to welcome Dr.Thomson to the An interesting historical narrative of \u201c> work which has been

largely Presbyterian at nome and abroad.In several decades we have had a number of faithful foreign and native workers in the part of Canton province whence these men come, beside about twenty schools, chapels and churches.Canada is really China's nearest and most accessible Christian neighbor.Your generally better treatment of the Chinese in the east than in the west or in the United States is also to our advantage.Furthermore, it seems a remarkable providence that so many are thus sent to us under such favorable influences and so separated from the depressing influences of

examinations for tuberculosis and the results are rather astonishing.The Board was compelled to stop work because of lack of funds.The report says in part: \u2018There can no longer be a reasonable doubt that tuberculous cattle are extensively distributed throughout the dairies of the state, forming centres of infection in their respective herds; that the milk from such cattle fs bad and in many cases, though not acting perniciously upon all who partake of it, is still suf- ficlently dangerous to warrant an earnest precautions and as effective prophylactic measures as in the case of smallpox, typhoid and cholera.y N Ny | TH TR us TE TH HE 4 TE Ji.HT i fi ' 6) N I rR HG (TL Ti TUE Pen | | 7 3 HL oe i i Un : i 4 EVA { i FH Ii pre Teg fon verging) rr Ey A Be rey 704 PT ae TA BY ob yore = expo

the trunk line presidents was held to-day in this city and important action was taken on eastbound passenger rates and passenger commissions.For some time there has been serious cutting of rates, and at the several meetings recently held no agreement could be reached which would tend to maintain rates.At a meeting in Buffalo a few weeks ago an agreement was formulated line presidents and executive officers.This agreement brings all the roads in the association to maintain rates on eastbound passenger business and to abolish passenger commissions after Jan.1.The subject of making a similar agreement on west bound passenger rates was discussed and referred to the exequtive committee.On Thursday the immigrant and differential difficulties between the trans-con- tinental lines were adjusted in this city, by representatives of the different roads.The agreement stipulates that the Canadian Pacific shall have 20 percent of the New York and Boston immigrant traffic to its own local territory and it shail stay out of the business via Philadelphia and Paltimors.There is no agreement on business landing at Canadian ports.This will be competed for under an agreement between the Grand Trunk and the Canadian Pacific, and both are to act as feeders to western lines on business from such ports via Chicago.The differential agreement allows the Canadian Pacific to quote lower rates of $10 first-class and $5 second-class on all California business via its Port Arthur, lake or mail route and by ocean from Victoria.> THE WAR ON VICE.POLYGLOT PETITION TO BE PRESENTED TO UNITED

men went into one of the ccaches, some distance from the depot.They used ro revolvers, but wore masks.Two took each side of the car and nearly every passenger was relieved of a watch or pocketbook.The job was done so quickly that no one seemed to realize what was occurring until the men had gone.Not a hand was raleed against them and hardly a word was said by the robbers.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 NOTES AND NOTICES.Gold medal and diploma.\u2014Highest honors of the World's Columbian Exposition awarded to Behr Bros.Piano.Also gold medals and

winter clothing for a very respectable, but needy man.Some of your readers, I am sure, will gladly come to my help in this matter.I will arrange for his food, or, at least most of it, during the winter.But to provide him with the necessary clothing is beyond my power.Already the drain upon my resources is coming from so many quarters that I am at my wits\u2019 end.The man for whom 1 make this appeal : is between seventy and eighty years of | age, has seen better days, is well known; about five feet nine in height, and is proportionately built.He needs everything.If any of your many readers will kindly drop me a postal card I will gladly send for any parcel.This man would willingly make any engagement to shovel snow, or to do other odd jobs, during the winter, and thus earn a trifle to pay his rent.JOHN NICHOLS.131 Lusignan street, Dec.21, 1894.ADVERTISEMENTS.A BRIGHT STAR.A SKETCH OF THE MAN WHO LED MARY ANDERSON TO FAME.ALSO PIAYED LEADING ROLES WITH BOOTH, BARRETT AND THORNE.(From the St.Louis \u2018Chronicle.\u2019) One of the most conspicuous figures in the Stageland of America to-day is John W.Norton.Born in New York City forty-six years ago, the friends of his youth were Thomas W.Keene and Frank Chanfrau.We find Keene a star at the age of twenty-five and Norton in the flower of early manhood, the ieading man for Edwin Booth at the famous Winter Garden Theatre.He was starred with Lawrence Barrett early in the 70's, and alternated the leading roles with Charles Thorne in New Orleans.In 1876, Norton met Mary.Anderson, then a fair young girl who aspired for stage fame, took her under his guidance and as everybody knows led her to fame.Mr.Norton is now the proprietor of the Grand Opera House in St.Louis, and the Du Quesne Theatre, Pittsburg.One afternoon in June he hobbled into his New York office on Broadway, and encountered his business manager, George McManus, who had also been a rheumatic sufferer for two years.Norton was surprised that Mec- Manus had discarded his cane.Who cured you ?he asked.\u2018I cured myself,\u2019 replied McManus, \u2018with Dr.Williams's Pink Pills.\u2019 \u201cI was encouraged by Mr.McManus\u2019s cure, and tried the Pink Pills myself,\u2019 said Mt.Norton to a \u2018Chronicle\u2019 reporter.\u2018You havo known me for five years, .and know how I have suffered.Why, during the summer of 1893, I was on my back at the Mullanphy Hospital, t#lthis city, four weeks.I was put on the old system of dieting, with a view to clearing those acidulous properties in my blood that medical theorists say is the cause of my rheumatism.I left the hospital feeling stronger, but the first damp weather brought with it those excruciating pains in the legs and back.It was the same old trouble.After sitting down for a stretch of five minutes, the pains screwed my legs into a knot when I arose, and I hobbled as painfully as ever.After I had taken my first box of Pink Pills, it struck me that the pains were less troublesome.I tried another box, and I began almost unconsciously to have faith in the Pink Pills.I improved so rapidly that I could rise after sitting at my desk fer an hour, and the twinges of rheumatism that accompanied my rising were so mild that I scarcely noticed them.During the past two weeks, we have had much rainy weather in St.Louis.But the dampness has not had the slightest effect in bringing back the rheumatism, which I consider a sufficient and reliable test of the efficacy of Pink Pills.I may also say that the Pink Pills have acted as a tonic on my stomach, which I thought was well nigh destroyed by the thousand and one alleged remedies I consumed in the past five years.\u2019 22 SICK HEADACHE Positively cured by these : Little Pills.They aiso
