and the Quebeckers chose one of their own faith and nationality to do so.That Mr.Laurier will proceed at once with this task no one doubts.He will, as he said, approach Mr.Greenway's government in the sunny ways of patriotism, and endeavor to satisfy the judgment of the Privy Council by inducing Mr.Green- way to act.As a result, one of two things will happen: Mr.Greenway will act, or parliament will have to deal with another remedial bill.Every effort wil be made to prevent the matter reaching this latter stage.The only difficulty will be the uncompromising attitude hitherto taken by the local government.But it will doubtless find some reason for receding from its position in favor of the commission to be appointed by Mr.Laurier.However, the result mav be attained, the people of Manitoba will hall with satisfaction the removal of an irri- {i he political arena.A good deal of nonsense was talked and written by political managers and organs during the late campaign on this subject, and it has pot quite ceased yet.The \u2018Globe\u2019 broadly binted that the election of Mr.Hugh John Macdonald for Winnipeg would be taken as an expression against national schools and some lesser ltghts are now disposed to assume that this is ro.They know better, of course, and their object is to afford an excuse for the restoration of separate schools by those who up to this time had strongly denounced such a course.It will not serve; and there is no need to look for an excuse; compliance with the terms of the judgment of the Privy Council is the standard to be guided by, and no apology is needed beyond that.If this requires the restoration of separate schools, restored they will be.It may be necessary to reconcile this with previous utterances of politicians; but that is another matter.\u2014\u2014\u2014t THE W.C.T.U.IN ST.LAURENT.On Thursday afternoon a number of the ladies of St.Laurent met in the schoolhouse and organized a Woman\u2019s Christian Temperance Union.Miss Scott was elected president, Miss Carruthers secretary and Mrs.R.Tait treasurer.Good temperance work has already been done in this place and the Sunday-school children have all signed the pledge but it was felt that there was plenty of work for a W.C.T.U.to do as saloons are increasing in number and working much harm among the young people.Miss Dougall, county president for Hochelaga, presided and Miss Emma Baylis addressed the meeting, telling of the good results which in several instances had followed when the word of God had been brought to bear upon the conscience of liquor-sellers.The passage \u2018Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink,\u201d was one that went straight to the heart.Miss Dougall told how the women of the world were banding themselves together for the protection of their homes against the evils wrought by the liquor traffic and urged the importance of forming local unions wherever possible.She explained how each new union received inspiration and guidance from provincial and county superintendents of departments and said that even the smallest and most discouraged little union had its important share in the great work of the World\u2019s Woman's Christian Temperance Union.re OBITUARY.Chicago, June 25.\u2014United States Senator Lyman Turnbull died this morning at his home, Lake avenue.He had been 11 for a long time, { ! CANADIANS FROM ACROSS THE LINES.About eight hundred French-Canadians from the diocese of Ogdensburg, N.Y.visited the Monument National, yesterday morning, on their return from a pilgrimage to Ste.Anne de Beaupre.They were received by the officers of the St.Jean Baptiste Society, who wished them a hearty welcome.The Rev.Curé Chagnon, of Champlain, director of the pilgrimage, expressed the joy of the visitors to find themselves in the very centre of the motherland where they could revive their hope in the continued prosperity of the French race on this continent.Abbé Chagnon informed those present that a young girl and two | children, given up by the doctors had been suddenly cured in the church of Ste.Anne de Beaupre, during the pilgrimage, and had left their crutches there.- e\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 FAVOR INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.Glasgow, June 26.\u2014The Presbyterian Convention, which has been sitting in this city since June 17, unanimously passed a resolution to-day to petition the governments of Great Britain and the United States for the establishment of a permanent board of arbitration to settle disputes which may arise between the two nations.The delegates to the convention, included in the number of which there are sixty ministers from the United States, were entertained at the Glasgow University this afternoon.The convention will conclude its session this evening.: A LETTER FROM MR.GLADSTONE.SAYS THE GUILT OF THE SULTAN AND HIS AGENTS TOWARDS THE ARMENIANS IS BEYOND DESCRIPTION.ANOTHER BANGUINARY OUTBREAK AT VAN.London, June 26.\u2014The \u2018Chronicle\u2019 today publishes a letetr from Mr.Glad- Btone on the subject of the Armenians in which he says: \u2018Nobody uses language \u2018half strong enough against the Sultan and his agents.To describe their guilt is beyond all bounds.My choice is between far out-Heroding everybody and abrupt silence, for my language abstractly might plausibly be ascribed to temper whereas it would be perfeotly coldblooded.I am silent only for fear of doing harm.The European mind wants plausible excuses to cover its disgrace.I do not wish to furnish them.\u2019 The Constantinople correspondent of the \u2018Chronicle\u2019 telegraphs that the Armenian losses during the recent rioting at Van are estimated to have been 1,500 killed while the Turkish loss was two hundred.The despatch adds that the Kurds are gathering from all direoc- tions to pillage Van.New York, June 26.\u2014A special to the \u2018Herald\u2019 from Constantinople says: Another sanguinary outbreak occurred at Van ôn Wednesday and four hundred more killed.The Russians are promoting the disturbances and fomenting the revolt throughout Armenia.The correspondent has received the {following statement from Captain Vialar: \u2018I have witnessed hideous enormities.Armenian girls and women were publicly sold at auction.A mother threw her two daughters into a well before my eyes to save them from the Turks.Evidences of Turkish official complicity have been obtained by me.The foreign press should be ashamed to remain indifferent.\u201d Captain Vialar deplores the humiliating role accepted by France.© The Porte continues to hang Armenians publicly.\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE FREE SILVER TIDE.Baltimore, June 26.\u2014Senator Gorman will positively not go to Chicago for the National Convention.He does not think there is any chance at this late hour to stem the free silver tide, but believes that a free silver candidate will be nominated.He says Mr.Boies will probably be chosen.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A BIG FAILURE.Uhrichsville, Ohio, June 26.\u2014The Royal Clay Manufacturing Company, said to be operating the largest sewer pipe works in the world, has assigned.Too much stock and a lack of orders with pressing liabilities, are given as the cause of the collapse.2 THE WEATHER.Meteoroloriral Office, Toronto, Ont, June 26, 11 a.m.\u2014The following ar2 the mininum teinperatures-\u2014-Caigary, 44;

special cable despatch from London this morning: While the west of the United States is crying for free silver, England to-day is suffering from a glut of money.The banks are full.choked with idle money for which it is impossible to find any investment that would even pay the cost of the broker's commission.So phenomenally cheap is money in London to-day that it is possible to borrow practically an unlimited amount at the rate of twenty-five cents a day for every $5.000.There ts now on deposit in the Bank of England alone $250,000,000 more money than was Jying there nine months ago, and the amount on deposit has been steadily mounting up during that period and is still increasing.There was in the bank last Thursday £14,000,000 of public deposits, that is government money.The usual amount thus on deposit is from £5,000,000 to £ 8,000,000.This money is largely made up-of funds set aside for the redemption of consols and of funds deposited in the post-office savings bank, for which investment is desired.But there is now no desirable investment to be found and consols have gone so high that the government will not buy them.Private and stock banks have £50 500.009 on deposit in the Bank of Englnad, which is £12,000.000 more than was so deposited last October, and £17.000,000 more than at this time two years ago.The Renk of England's own reserve fund ten days ago was £11,500,000 more than it amounted to nine months ago and the stock of gold and bullion on hand was more than £12,000,000 in excess of the amount on hand last October.This condition of affairs in the Bank of England is a fair sample of the situation throughout the country.Everywhere there is a great glut of idle money, for which no satisfactory use can be found.There is thrown on the market here every year about £120,000,000 seeking investment.This vast sum of money ($600,000,000) represents the annual surplus cash accumulated in the country, saved from its income and is altogether apart from the income reinvested in home industries.I amtold that undoubtedly the whole of last year\u2019s accumulation and much more, remains idle in the hands of its owners.Unsatisfactory financial conditions in various parts of the world where British \u2018capital has been invested have stopped further investment in these directions, and have also caused a considergpled The troubles in the Transvaal last vear brought a great deal of money back to England.Particularly have the many and various treubles in South American countries, the defaulting of some states and the collapse of many much-boomed undertakings, brought back capital from that continent and frightened capitalists from further investment.But most of all is the British capitalist distrustful of American investment, and this, probably, is the most important factor of all in causing the present phenomenal glut of money here.Not only is money not being invested in the-United States but the withdrawal of capital from there has been exceedingly heavy in the past nine months and particularly since the first of this year.If the financial policy and a peaceful foreign policy in the United States were positively settled very much, if not practically all of this vast amount of money lying idle in England would follow in immense volume across the Atlantic.In the past two months about $50,000.- 000 has been invested in England in various cycle and cycle supply companies.The greatest of these companies is one organized solely to manufacture and market rubber tires.Of course this $50,000,000 is but a drop in the hucket taken from the whole amount of idle money, but it largely represents the small investor and therefore in that way means very much.Small companies have been organized to exploit all kinds of patents, and the latest line of com- pantes \u201care sceeking capital, and getting it ready, to boom the sale of patent mediciñes and \u2018health foods.\u201d A few days \u2018ago a company wes incorporated to build and carry on a music hall, and perhaps the oddest company of all is one lately formed to establish a proprietary club.Breweries, bakerles, dry goods stores and shops of all kinds are being incorporäted.and the shares of those which attract the public eye are snapped up instantly.\"Unfortunately there is danger that this new speculative fever will have a disastrous ending for many investors.Many of the dozens of the new companies undoubtedly have a substantial foundation but I am told that there are many others that cannot fail to experience utter collapse in a longer or shorter period, after the first payment on the shares has been made.Undoubtedly the large capitalists are looking anxiously.many hopefully, to a satisfactory settlement of the monetary and commercial conditions in the United States as the only radical relief now discernible for the great glut of .idle money in England.EES PROF.GOLDWIN SMITH.Toronto, June 25.\u2014At a meeting of the Senate of the University of Toronto tonight in connection with the receipt of the letter from Prof.Goldwin Smith, in which he withdrew his acceptance of the honorary degree of LL.D., the following \u2018resolution was unanimhously adopted, on motion of the Rev.Dr.Caven, seconded by Chancellor Burwash:\u2014The Senate has received with regret the intimation of \u2018Prof.Goldwin Smith's withdrawal of his name, and desires to place on record its disapproval of the attacks which have led him to take this step.The Senate has always kept itself free from politieal influences of every complexion, and is resolved to preserve this freedom, and in withdrawal of capital already put out.! its distribution of honors, as in all other respects, to have regard only to considerations which should guide the procedure of an academic body.The Senate further.assures Prof.Smith of its high appreciation of his distinguished services to the cause of education and the advancement of learning.\u2014_\u2014 eee THE HIGH COMMISSIONERSHIP.Toronto, June 26\u2014The rumor gains credence that instead of entering the Laurier cabinet Sir Richard Cartwright will be offered and will accept the High Commissionership to London in place of Sir Donali Smith.The fact that Sir Richard was net preminent in the electoral contest is attributed to the influence of Sir Oliver Mowat.It is stated that among Liberal manufacturers and busl- ncsz men of prominence the fact that Sir Richard would not be finance minister in case of Liberal success was confidentially made known.In consequence of Sir Oliver Mowat's removal to Ottawa the Deputy-Attorney-General, Mr.Cartwright, will.it is understood, be replared .by some nominee of the coming Ontario Premier, the Hon.A.S.Hardy.Mr.Preston has been reappointed provin- cia!

things to which the Governor-General is to be asked to give his signature by the outgoing régime is a number of contracts which have been promised as the reward of election service.We should be the last to impose on a Governor-General the duty of introducing anything new into constitutional usage.It has certainly been customary for resigning governments to distribute honors and appointments, but when the act recommended is obviously and materially corrupt there must surely be precedent for declining to accept the advice of those who have lost the confidence of the nation.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Mr.Laurier in introducing Mr.Tarte on the Champ de Mars declared that though Beauharnois had been stclen from him he would yet recover it.We sincerely hope so, as Mr.Tarte, co far as we have been abie to watch his course, seems to be a personality whose absence from parliament would be a loss to the nation.He was originally an out-and-out advocate of the Church.In that he expressed manfully the views in which he had been brought up.He was narrow in his race loyalty.In that he was also true to the best he knew, He was a very bleu politician, being true to that which was highest in his then limited horizon.That he was trusty is proved by the fact that he was trusted with the election funds of his party.That in managing those funds he was associated with methods not very noble goes without saying.What is to be noted is that his heart rebelled against those ignoble methods, and when he became privy to unblushing and gigantic bribery he rcvolted and exposed it.He no doubt knew at what expense he did this.In doing so he faced a whirlwind of vilification before which all but one in a thousand would have quailed.It is to him that the country owes the firing of the mine! which blew up the gates and led to the later downfall of the fortress of corruption.When a patriot in material war gathers the spears of the encmy into his own bosom that his ccuntrymen may rush through the breach to victory his memory is revered for centuries as that of a hero.What we have noticed with regard to Mr.Tarte has been that as climbing life's hill gave him an ever-broad- ening outlook, his sympathies have greatened in proportion.When he saw over the little ecclesiastical hills which surrounded his nativity he has gladly greeted the larger prospect ; and in like manner have the boundaries of race become less in his eyes as he saw that Canadians of every tribe and tongue were his fellow- countrymen.We hope, therefore, that Mr.Tarte will yet be able to represent Beauharnois.\u2014\u2014_\u2014__ DEATHBED APPOINTMENTS.The government should certainly not fill up the vacancies in the Senate, The long lease of power which the Conservatives have enjoyed has as a result of partisan appointments during years filled the second chamber with Conservative Senators.There are not half a dozen Liberals DAILY WITNESS.at present in a Senate of eighty-one members.only five Senators ; Sir John Macdonald appointed forty-four; Sir John Abbott six, Sir John Thompson five, Sir Mackenzie Bowell nine or ten.There are now only three vacancies, two of which were caused by Mr.Angers and Mr.Desjardins resigning to run for the House of Commons.It would be manifestly unwise, as well as unfair, for a moribund government which has been defeated in the country at the general elections to fill up the already overwhelmingly Conservative Senate with additional Conservatives, making an almost solidly Conservative Senate to confront a Commons with a Liberal majority.If Sir Charles Tupper fills the vacancies the Liberal Government will not have representatives enough in the Senate to debate the legislation which is sent up to the Senate by the Commons.The number of Senators is fixed, and as Senators cannot be dismissed, Sir Charles Tupper can, if he chcoses, fill up the vacancies and make it impossible for Mr.Laurier to secure any consideration at all for his measures in the Senate.A fair consideration is out of the question in any case.The Governor-General can, if he chooses, refuse to sanction the appointments proposed by Sir Charles Tupper, whose government has never had the confidence of either parliament or the people, and is therefore hardly entitled to the full confidence of the representative of the crown after it has been defeated in an appeal to the country.If the ap- pcintments are made, however, the condition of things will render the argument for the reform of the Senate proposed by the Liberals more ccuvincing than ever, for the situation will be intolerable.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE OVATION.The ovation given last night to Mr.Leurier upon the Champ de Mars was the greatest expression of political sentiment since constitutional government was granted to the Canadian people.So vast and so dense was the crowd and so overcharged was its feelings that it was felt to be dangerous to protract the proceedings there, but there was a spontaneous adjournment to the St.Lawrence Hall, Mr.Laurier\u2019s hotel, where St.James street was soon nearly blocked from St.John street to the Place d\u2019Armes.For such à demonstration there was sufficient reason, for the event chronicled was the greatest since the constitution was granted.The one thing that the late election revealed above all others was that the country is a free country, and that its people aprreciate and are capable of self- government.There has arizen in the hearts of Canadians from the Atlantic to the Pacific, irrespective of race or party, a pride of country never experienced before.The outgush of affection from the English-speaking pecple towards their French-speaking countrymen is universal and genuine.The feeling is that an incubus which rendered free institutions un- wcerkable has been lifted, that a stone has been removed from the nation\u2019s heart, and that we are now one people and one nation.French-Canadians and English-Ca- nadians have worked together politically before, but never through fellowship of feeling.It has only been a pooling of majorities.The British Tories practically agreed with the managers of the Parti Bleu that each should be supreme in its own region.It never gave any satisfaction to the priests that Sir John Macdonald, by force of a strong Orange following, should reign in Upper Canada, or that the old Loyalist Conservatives should control the Townships.They only knew that by supporting that arrangement they would be supported in their encroachments on the liberties of their own people.It never gave the Orangemen and Loyalists in question any satisfaction that Lower Canada was ruled from Rome, but as they had the alliance of the Mouton vetes in parliament they endured it.Quite different is the present alliance, when free men in all parts of the country have sprung to each other's aid, and when those are foremost in the fight who had been looked to with least hope.Henceforth Canadians are one people.Nor was the occasion more worthy Mr.Mackenzie appointed the great ovation centred of receiving such honors as no Canadian ever received before.It is no small thing that one pure, true, large-minded and strong-souled man should arise in \u2018whose patriotism and konor and sympathy every element of the people can ecually confide.We are especially glad that Mr.Laurier is a French- Canadian.None but a French-Cana- dian could have equally brought about this unity of spirit.The French element being in the minority in the the more timid with regard to coôp- ccnfidence reposed in themselves in the person of their chief.But, apart frcm that, there are qualities in which the French-Canadians excel us.While there certainly are matters in which our French-speaking countrymen have not hitherto coped with their Eng- lish-speaking neighbors, we must give them the palm for that delicacy of feeling and manner, that quick perception of what is agreeable and appropriate, that readiness for shaping those perceptions into words and deeds which is more seldom found among ourselves.While of all these charms of behavior Mr.Laurier is by nature the master, he is also, what is not always found in the those who have associated with him most closely, and who have felt his to admit.He has proved a marvellously tireless, prudent and capable general, who has marshalled his campaign with unfailing wisdom, quick decision and masterful action.laurel sits on worthy brows, and we look forward to an era of national prcgress and prosperity such as we have not before enjoyed.THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.As was to have been expected, the lic attention to such a degree that commercial affairs have been almost entirely neglected.Nor will matters likely settle until the change of government takes place.It is satisfactory, however, to know that the change will take place almost immediately, and it is also satisfactory Lo know that it is the intention of Mr.Laurier, as announced, to make public his policy respecting tariff changes at an early day.The bank statement for the month of May is just to hand, and shows a decrease of $259,529 in note circulation as compared with April, and an increase of nearly $1,000,000 compared with last year.Public deposits on demand show an increase of almost $1,000,000 since April, and a decrease of $3,800,- 000 since last year.Deposits payable after notice have increased $1,- 300,000 since April and $6,900,000 since May, 1895, the total now standing at $121,934,000.The balances due agencies in the United Kingdom fell from $5,858,000 in Arviil to $4,- 945,000.On the other side of the account the specie shows an increase of $226,000, and the legal tenders a decrease of $86,000.Notes and cheques of other banks show an increase of $812,000, indicating that the note circulation was still shrinking at the close of the month.The loans in foreizn countries, chiefly in the United States, show an increase of $2,130,000, being $18,564,000 in May.Balances due from the United Kingdom fell from $5,036,000 to $4,632,000, or $400,000.Current loans fell from $210,292,000 to $206,970,000, or $3,300,- 000, which accounts for the additional loans made in the United States and explains the greater ease in the money market which took place during the month.Overdue debts fell from $3,706,000 to $3,373,000, no doubt largely due to the amounts written off by the several banks which closed their books on May 31.Altogether, the statement reflects the quiet con- ditjon of trade, and in view of the lower prices prevailing for butter and cheese it is somewhat surprising that the circrvlation should be ahead of that of last year, The large increase in deposits is not a good sign at this season, as it shows an accumulation of funds for which the owners find no inimediate use.The local stock market has been somewhat feverish during the week, the dull times usual at this season \u2018having been accentuated by the holding of the general elections.The slight decline in some of the stocks than was the personality in whom â Dominion may be pardoned for being eration and for

to say good-by to their retiring pastor, the Rev.E.Richardson Kelis), and to welcome the Rev.W.H.Stevevs, who has been appointed as Mr.Kelley's SUCCEssor.There was a very large attendance.Theroom wastastefully decorated with flags and flowers.Mr.J 5 Sorley occupied the chair.Mr.John Nichols in a very happy speech reviewed the work of the past three years an in very high terms referred to the excellent services rendered by the Rev.Mr.Kelley, Everybody was sorry to lose him from =t.Lambert, where he was greatly beloved.Mrs.Webster, vice-president of the Ladies\u2019 Aid Soclety, in a nice address, spoke of the very pleasant association they had enjoved together as pastor and people, and while they would have much to remind them of Mr.Kelley, their society was desirous of having him take away some remembrance of them, and asked his acceptance of a beautiful student's lamp, which they hoped would dispel some of the darkness that in the future might gather around him.Mr.Kelley made a suitable reply after which Mr.W.H.Rosevear made the address of welcome to the Rev.Mr.Stevens.St.Lambert had always had good men for its pastors, and he knew enough about the incoming one to assure the people that he would not be an exception to this rule.It was especially pleasing to welcome with their new pastor his excellent wife which was a new feature in St.Lambert Methodism.The Rev.J.Murray Watson of the Presbyterian Church said some very kind and happy things about the friendly relations existing between the two churches.Mr.Kelley, he sald, was a man after his own heart.and he was sorry to have him go away, but he was sure his successor would receive a cordial welcome and assured him of his readiness to co-operate in every good work, but wished it to be well understood that neither of them was to encourage members of the other's church to forsake alleglance to their own.Mr.Severs gave a recitation ard Mr.Carson a reading.Mrs.Buchanan, Miss Rid- dington and Mr.Percy Webster's singing were very pleasing features of the programme.The Rev.Mr.Kelley and the Rev.Mr.Stevens both spoke very feel: ingly and looked forward to continued success in the work of the Church.Ice cream and cake were supplied by the Le- dies\u2019 Aid and enjoyed by the happy company and after social intercourse the meeting adjourned.me THE \u2018CAMPANIA'S\u2019 NEW

26, 1896.SOME OPINIONS.THE CANADIAN PRESS UPON THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION.The result shows that the country, as a whole, does not want Tupperism, and is quite content to trust Mr.Laurier.We have every confidence that that trust will not be misplaced.\u2014Guelph \u2018Mercury,\u2019 June 24.The \u2018Journal,\u2019 which supported the Conservative party in the general elections of 1887 and 1891, and whose sympathies have been generally Conservative and are likely to remain so if the party lead- ors wlll permit, holds nevertheless that this Liberal victory is a good thing for Canada.It was time for a change for two reasons, first to teach a lesson to the unscrupulous elements of the Conservative organization, secondly to give the Liberals a chance to identify themselves loyally and resolutely with the fortunes and progress of thelr country.It was worth the while of the people of the Dominion to risk something for these objects, to risk some disturbance of tariff and trade, some possibility of incompetence in the public guidance.The Liberals have won, they must now prove themselves.and the country\u2019s eves will be keen.\u2014Ottawa \u2018Journal,\u2019 June 24.We cannot refrain from expressing our sincere regret that the government ever entered on the dangerous coercion policy.We stated months ago that a coercion policy would not save them in Quebec and would paralyze their friends in other provinces.This is just what has happened.\u2014'Orange Sentinel,\u201d June 25.The result in Halifax is especially to be regretted, as at present it appears that the election in this constituency bas resulted in the return of two Protestants, whereas the rule has been to have this constituency represented by one C'atholic and one Protestant.The defeat of Mr.Kenny, which at present seems probable, is a great loss both to the constituency and to parliament; but that the result is sectarian and not political is the worst feature.\u2014Halifax \u2018Herald,\u2019 (Con.), June 24.HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED IN LONDON.Toronto, Ont., June 26.\u2014The \u2018 Evening Telegram's ' special cable, dated London, June 25, referring to the results of the elections in Canada on Tuesday, has the following: \u2014 The \u2018 Times \u2018 says the Liberals have achieved a good victory.The \u2018 News \u2019 calls it a great upheaval, and adds that the Conservatives have been smitten hip and thigh.The \u2018 Chronicle\u2019 says that by this decisive election Canadians have shaken themselves free from the grip of the clerical-protection party.Sir Mackenzie Bowell, when seen this morning, said the news came to him as an unpleasant surprise.The Hon.Edward Blake, M.P., said the result was not unexpected by him.Mr.Sandford Fleming, C.M.G., who is here with Sir Mackenzie Bowell as a delegate to the Pacific Cable Conference, said he looked to the government being sustained and that the Liberal victory was to him a genuine surprise.Many anti-remedlalists here express the greatest satisfaction with the result of the elections.Shippers look for an improvement in trade.THE SITUATION.(Toronto \u2018 Star.\u2019) The Liberals have now a majority that they can work with, and if the party is managed properly there need be but little fear of disaster for the next four years.Mr.Laurier\u2019's majority will probably be twenty over all opposition when the returns are final, and perhaps even more than that.A government can always count on winning a number of by- elections during the first year, for by- elections favor the party in power.In 1891 the Conservative majority was thirty, and in two years it was more than fifty.In 1887 the majority was twenty-nine, and in a couple of years it had grown to forty-nine.Mr.Laurier's majority of twenty may reach thirty-five or more before any complicating questions arise.THE ORDER OF THEIR GOING.(Toronto \u2018 Mall and Empire.\u2019) The government may resign without further procedure, or may walt until it is defeated in the House.Either course is constitutional.Nowhdays the people themselves, voting in a general election, are a competent tribunal to decide the fate of a Ministry.Formerly Parliament alone was.\u2018Up to 1868,\" Todd says, \u2018 the general current of precedent was decidedly in favor of a Minister, beaten at a general election, accepting his defeat only at the hands of Parliament: and this custom was grounded on the salutary doctrine that it is only through Par- llament that the nation can speak.\u2019 Since that time all the British Administrations, save one, that have failed to carry the country in an appeal to the constituencies, have resigned soon after the election.The exception was the Salisbury Administration in 1892, which went through the form of being defeated by Parliament on the address before it handed in its resignation.Last year Lord Rosebery followed the modern practice by handing in his resignation soon after the result of the election showed that the country was not with him.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE REV.J.J.GUTHRIE.The Rev.J.J.Guthrie of London, Eng., who has besn for some years chaplain to the Cadet Training Ships in the Thames, London, will be the speaker at the young men's meeting to-mor- row, Saturday evening, in the Young Men's Christian Association.His large experience amongst men has rendered him an effective worker in that line.He has spent the winter in mission work in New York city and suburbs.Mr.R.H.Buchanan will preside at the meeting.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 OBITUARY.Kingston,

white duchess satin trimmed with Irish point lace, ' and pearl ornaments.the gift of the groom.The bridesmaids were all arrayed in white muslin and presented a very attractive appearance.After the ceremony a collation was served in the spacious dining-room to which the guests did ample justice.From 7 till 9 p.m.a reception washeld,which wasattended by a legion of friends and congratulations and kirdly expressions of good-will were heard on all sides, evincing the high esteem in which the young couple are held.The presents to the bride, of which there were about one hundred, were valuable and useful and much admired by the guests.The groom was the recipient of a handsome suite of dining room furniture, the gift of his associates in office and his employer, Major Bond.About ten o'clock a large number of the guests proceeded to the Dalhousie station where they awaited the arrival of the bride and groom.When they made their appearance the groom was taken in the sturdy arms of his many friends and bounced high in the air, the groomsman being treated in a similar manner, then amid the waving of handkerchiefs, showers of rice.laughter, cheers, tears and the notes of \u2018Auld Lang Syne\u2019 the happy pair started on their wedding tour to Lake St.John and the Saguenay.They will remain away about three weeks, returning to Montreal via River du Loup and the St.Lawrence.1 THE Y.M.C.A.BICYCLE CLUB.Last evening the members of the above club took advantage of an invitation extended to them by the Montreal West Methodist Church to join them in an entertainment given by the young people.The turnout was not a large one owing to the uncertainty of the weather, but sixteen members fell in at the call of Captain Manhire, followed by buglers Charles Klemhans and C.H.Stevenson, who gave a good account of themselves, The balance of the club's bugle corps could not be present on account of volunteer drill, but they will all make a good showing when bugling the boys to sleep on the special car on Tuesday night.The club looked well with thelr white sweaters and new emblems.On the return trip the boys decorated their wheels with Chinese lanterns received at the entertainment and made a pretty spectacle coming home by the Lachine road.The boys also acted as guard of honor for the musicians who took part in the entertainment, and who came to the city by express.After spending one of the most pleasant evenings in the club's history they arrived back at the building at 11.30 p.m.To-morrow afternoon the boys will have a run to Pointe Claire.Every member is requested to be present.Members are also requested to meet at the Association building tonight to complete the arrangements for the meet at Quebec.ee A CLERGYMAN MISSING.A REWARD FOR INFORMATION THAT WILL LEAD TO HIS DISCOVERY.The Rev.A.R.Macduff who has been stopping with Mr.William Craig of Ab- bottsford, Que., since August, 1895, left the house of the latter on Sunday morning last, June 21, and was seen about 10 p.m.the same day at St.Pie, since when nothing has been seen or heard of him.The friends of the missing gentleman state that for some time past Mr.Macduff's health has been very poor, the result of a sunstroke that attacked him when living in India, and think it quite probable that he s suffering from temporary insanity When he left Mr.Craig's house.They are most anxious to hear of him and have published the following description of e gentleman, coupling with it a reward of a hundred dollars for any Information that may lead to his recovery:\u2014Age about fifty

watch with small cross attached to chain.He carried a cane with silver name plate at end.His health enfeebled and head probably affected by sunstroke.tre.THE BOURDON CASE.J.Rosario Bourdon, the alleged defaulting cashier of the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company, appeared for enquete in the Police Court yesterday afternoon.Bourdon was represented by Mr.H.C.St.Plerre, Q.C.There was only one witness examined, and that was Mr.J.A.Villeneuve, accountant for the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company, who had laid the information against the prisoner, and it was to the effect that he was $3,443 short in his accounts.Bourdon pleaded \u2018not guilty * to the charge.Mr.St.Plerre made an application for an adojurnment until today to give him time to read the information.This was granted and the case was continued at two o'clock.The auditors, Messrs.Lajole and Plimsoll, were examined this afternoon.\u2014 A PRESENTATION.The members of the firm and employees of Messrs.S.Greenshields, Sons & Co., yesterday presented Mr.E.Hicks with a handsome and valuable watch, it being the occasion of Mr.Hicks\u2019s leaving the firm after fourteen years\u2019 con- nectior.with it, to go into business for himself.Mr.E.B.Greenshields in presenting the watch made a short and bap- py address, which was duly responded to by the recipient of the testimonial.\u2014 PERSONAL.Dr.Lapthorn Smith,

Empire sitting at Leipsig, has rejected the appeal of Baron Von Hammerstein, formerly leader of the Conservatives in the Reichstag and editor-in-chief of the \u2018Kreuse Zeitung,\u2019 from the sentence imposed him by the Berlin court upon his conviction of forgery on April 22 last.The sentence of the court was that he be imprisoned for three years at hard labor; that he forfeit his civil rights \u2018for five years and: that he pay a fine of 1200 marks.This sentence was regarded by both his friends and enemies alike as being one of extreme severity, it having been expected that inasmuch as Ham- merstetn humbly confessed his errors and avoided making disclosures which | woûld have involved many of his former Associates who are still in high places, that he would escape the ignominy of convict labor, and receive a sentence of simple imprisonment and the case was promptly appealed with the result as announced to-day.Assÿriothing further can be done in Hammerstein\u2019s behalf, *that once influential editor and powerful political leader will have to don con- | viet\u2019s.garb and begin his term of penal | servitude at once.etl PRINCE OF WALES CHANCELLOR.-

suffi- rient business was done to establish prices, but this has often happend during the past year, and cannot be ascribed to the influence of politics.Some time ago Yankers declared that the values of stocks were inflated, and should prices go lower a healthier market may ensue.The sales at the morning board were as follows: \u20145 Cable at 157, 10 Montreal Street Railway at 208, 25 at 20715,

The Province of Quebec has taken its place at the head of the Confederation, we must not forget that.The fight which we have just gone through was a warm one, but the more ardent the flght has been, the :nore moderate we should be in the hour of victory.We now have a difficult task before us.Our farming interests are at a low ebb; commerce is stagnant; our industries are flat, and we have the school question to settle.But using firmness, judgment and tact, we will face all these difficulties successfully cne after the other.As to the school qgues- tion, the people were tired of *he six until to-day, years of wobbling of the Tory Jovern- ment and I am confident that bv making an appeal to the generosity and THE HON.WILFRID LAURIER.guere, C.H.Semple, Ald.Marsolais, F.Lerin, W.D.Burns, Jullen Hebert, J.C.8t.Amour, N.Levasseur, L.Durand, T.Bourdeau, E.D.Colleret, Dr.F.E.Dev- lin, Sidney Fisher, M.P.A.A.Bruneau, M.P., L.O.David, R.A.E.Greenshields, Dr.Guerin, M.P.P., Jas.Cochrane, E.GO'Connor, Jas.Harper, Raoul Dandurand, J.P.B.Casgrain, W.A.Weir, J.P.Cooke, M.P.P., and many others.While the crowd was waiting it espied Mr.James McShane on the platform and there were immediately cries for \u2018Jimmy.That gentleman came forward and bowed.He was greeted with great cheering.He refused to speak, although loudly called upon to do so.Mr.Laurier and Sir Richard Cartwright arrived at 8.30 o'clock and were received by deafening cheers from at least thirty thousand throats.velled from end to end of the great gathering.Thousands of hats were waved in the air and the crowd pressed forward i close to see the great Liberal chief at range.Mr.Laurier was dressed in a natty tweed suit and a soft brown felt hat.He looked the picture of health and good humor as he came to the front of the platform and bowed his acknowledgment of the greatest ovation ever tendered hy the eftizens of the meiropo- Ms of Canada.Mr.R.Dandurand called the meeting to order and announced that the Hon.Wilfrid Laurier would speak in French.The cheering at this point was if possible greater than that which greeted the new premier on his arrival.He said that he was sorry that his voice was not strong | enough to be heard by the immense gathering.He had often seen great assemblies but the one before him was greater than any he had ever beheld.rier was pleased to be able to say that he was accompanied by some of his colleagues.He mentioned first Sir Rizh- ard Cartwright, whose name was greeted The sound tra-' Mr.Lan-.sense of justice of the Manitoba Government and the commonsense «f the minority we will succeed in giving to the minority all the rights which belong to them.\u2018As to the tariff question, I will cnly say that our Canadian industries will have nothing to fear.We sre not revolutionaries, we are reformers.We will have to make changes, but it will only be after due notice to the parties interested, so that they will Lot pass vn- | Prepared from one state of affairs to another.\u2018After baving addressed two, three and four meetings a day for the past two months, I feel rather tired, so I will | close my remarks.I am apreciative of \u2018what my country has done for me, espe- ! cially Montreal.I have represented the ! City of Champlain for the past eighteen | years, but, when ! heard of what had i | I | i been done for me in Montreal, I gave notice to my constituents at St.Roch, that if they want to keep their laurels they had better look out.This is the only rivalry that will exist between Quebec | and Montreal.It is à rivalry of patri- | otism.From this day begins a new era, and from this day out.all Canadians without distinction of origin, creed or race, will be equally loyal subjects of Her Majesty Queen Victoria.Let us be proud of our ancestors of France, and of England, but at the same time let us look ahead, not to the future of the Province of Quebec, not to the future of the Province of Ontario, } | | | I | ! | | but to the future of the whole Dominion from one end to the other.(Tremendous | applause.) .Mr Laurier then spoke in English.; He would have been happy to address the English-speaking portion of the audi- i ence in their own tongue, but would make way for his friend Sir Richard | Cartwright, who would speak on behalf \u2018of Ontario.Before introducing Sir Rich- THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.ard, however, Mr.Laurier took the opportunity to thank the English-speaking citizens who bad associated themselves with their brethren of the French race to ald the cause of good government.He said also that the new administration when in authority would prove itself not a revolutionary but a reform government at all times and under all circumstances.SIR RICHARD CARTWRIGHT.Sir Richard Cartwright was received with cheer after cheer, so that he could not speak for a moment or two.He assured those before him that Liberal hearts from one end of the Dominion to the other, whether of the French or English race, were beating alike in praise of the Liberal party and its great leader.He had never before had the honor of addressing so large an sssembly, and no assembly could come together for a worthier cause.He stated he represented the people of Ontario, who felt that the people of the Province of Quebec have proved themselves worthy citizens of a free community.Said Sir Richard, I believe there never #vas a leader found in Canada more calculated or better able in every possible shape and way to reconcile and bring together those jarring elements which in time past have disturbed our common peace, friend, Wilfrid Laurier.As was well- stated by him, our object is not to destroy but to reform.We desire above all things to do equal justice to all classes and all creeds in ¢his Dominion.THE CRUSH.When Sir Richard concluded, there were cries of \u2018Tarte,\u2019 \u2018Tarte,\u2019 but the great crowd was seen to be in motion.Thousands had assembled upon the steps at the back of the Court House, the platform being erected at the back of the east end of that building.As the wind blew toward the east, those to the west of the platform could not hear a word of the speeches, and they now surged down from the steps and attempted to force their way around to the front of the platform.A tremendous crush was the result.Those in front of the platform were crushed against the board which supported it until they couldr hardly breathe.A number of boys had pushed their way to the front and in the great pressure caused by the thousands far in the rear, the boys\u2019 heads went out of sight altogether.They were suffocating, and so tight was the crush that they could not be lifted up.Those in front began to drag themselves upon the platform.The police fought them back upon the heads of the crowd.Those upon the platform signed to those in the rear to move back, but a crowd is ws hard to move as the ocean, and for a few moments it looked as if there would be a panic.Those upon the platform quickly decided to adojurn to the St.Lawrence Hall.The leader and his friends retired from the platform by the rear to the Court House square, where carriages were waiting.The crowd in front of the platform turned and fought their way back.Thousands rushed after the carriage of Mr.Laurier, and there resulted a great impromptu procession, Montreal seemed to have gone mad.Men and women and boys rushed along \u2018thé street.The running crowd measured the full width of the ground in front of the Court House and Notre Dame street roadway.Like a flood it surged toward the narrow entrance to St.James street.Here there was a vortex like that caused by the waters of a river pent up in a rocky gorge.A vehicle which attempted to pass through alongside of that containing Mr.Laurier, was pulléd back by the wheels and pushed to one side by the erowd.The journey along St.James street was a rush that carried everything before it.The street seemed to be already crowded before the procession arrived, and every doorstep and window was filled by ladies anxious to get a glimpse of the great leader.Arrived at the St .Lawrence Hall, the excited crowd thronged the doorway as Mr.Laurier passed in.A larger crowd from behind pushed forward and the great current started in through the doors of the hotel.Mr.Laurier and his party escaped up the elevator.The crowd, apparently unable to stop, rushed into the lobby, and so many followed that the belief started that they must be pouring out on Craig street.There was nothing for the crowd to do inside the hall, so eventually the great current reversed and went back into the already crowded street.Here people stood in a solid mass and listened and cheered as speeches were delivered from an upper window.After the breezy Champ de Mars, St.James street surrounded by high buildings was like a closed hall, and speakers were heard far along the street in both directions.Mr.Laurier\u2019s appéarance at the first floor window was greeted with tremendous cheering.He excused himself from speaking and brought forward Mr.Dan- \u2018lurand.Mr.Dandurand said that all might well be proud of the splendid victory which Quebec Province had secured for her noblest .son.Sir Charles Tupper (proionged groans) had trusted greatly to the Infinence which he could bring to bear upon the people of Quebec.He had stated on the authority of Mr.Angers (more groans) that the Province of Quebec would give a majority of twenty to the Conservatives but he had not reckoned on the avalanche which the French-Canadians had brought down on their heads.Sir Charles Tupper had falsely supposed that what he said in Manitoba would not be heard upon the banks of the St.Lawrence, but the péo- ple here bad discovered the duplicity of the adversaries of the Liberal party.They trusted that Quebec's noblest son could not be tray them\u2014tbeir religion was not in danger.Montreal might well be proud of her gift of five members to Mr.Laurier's support.The monopolists of St.Antoine division had voted against Mr.Mackay because they had been made rich by the corruption and unfair protection of the Conservative party and policy.Mr.Laurier had the support of the people and the whole province had done its duty nobly.SIR RICHARD AGAIN.speaker.Mr.Dandurand introduced him as the man hated above all others by the corrupt Tory party.The crowd cheered enthusiastically as Sir Richard stepped to the window.He said: Gentlemen, electors of Quebec, I fail to find words to express to you the delight and astonishment with which in every part of the Dominion we have received the news of your glorious fidelity \u2018to the i than my Sir Richard Cartwright was the next.principles of -truth, liberty and freedom in the person of the Hon.Wilfrid Laurier.(Cheers.) We had hoped that you would fully maintain the confidence that you had reposed in him for the past few years, but I am free to admit that never in our wiidest dreams bad we hoped that you would record such a magnificent majority in his favor on June 23.(Cheers.) Let me tell you that in my judgment, and I speak from a political experience of a third of a century, you have done a thing which will be recorded in the annals of Canada for many a generation to come.(Cheers.) You have justified yourselves and you more than justified the choice of the Liberal party in 1887, when despite the prejudices of some few among us we determined to show on thc floor of the Parliament of Canada that \u2018#8 far as the Liberal party were concerned no prejudice of race or religion should stand in the vay of our loyally choosing and loyally supporting a man who has shown himself sincere in every way and worthy to be leader of a free party and a free country.(Loud cheers.) Sirs, I well believe that for once in his long history Sir Charles Tupper did render a great service to the people of Canada when he attempted to stir up the prejudices of race and religion to the de- | triment of Mr.Laurier, when he told the people of Quebec some few weeks ago that Mr.Laurier was a traitor to his race and religion.(A voice, \u2018He was a liar,\u2019) and that we were traitors for supporting a man who was born a French- Canadian and e¢ducated a Catholic.Sir Charles Tupper showed that, not for the first time, he wholly and entirely failed to appreciate the genius of the people of Canada.For once I agree that the English press has reflected pretty truly the real feeling of the people when it says that in the election of Mr.Laurier to the Premiership of Canada we have given a proof not easily refuted of that solidarity without which no nation can be come great (cheers), and I well believe that the noble example which you have set will be repeated in other parts of the Domirlon by a spirit of conciliation, by a spirit of fairness, by a spirit of equity toward all classes in the community which will enable Mr.Laurier to settle those disturbing questions which have divided us so long.Of one of those I may say that Mr.Laurier will be true to the magnificent sentiments which he uttered on the floor of parliament under circumstances which might well have shaken the nerve of a less strong man than himself, when he declared that it would be his duty and his wish on all occasions whenever political questions came up to remember that he was a Canadian first and must yield to the duty he owed to our common country.(Loud cheers.) I consider those are the sentiments which a Canadian statesman should enunciate.Those are the foundations of truth, equality, toleration and fair play on which the future of Canada can 0) fi aii JZ { Yd BL vie, ea EA fT) A EEE SIR RICHARD + be built soundly, and if it is our fate to be maintained in pdwer for as long a period as our adversaries (cheers)\u2014and I well believe that shaken and shattered party will find it no easy thing to repair its fortunes\u2014it is in sticking by those principles.that the Liberal party and Liberal leaders will find the salvation of Canada and their own salvation.(Cheers.) I must conclude by congratulating you on the magnificent welcome vou have accorded to Mr.Laurier on the present occasion, which has been well- earned and well-deserved.(Cheers.) For my part I heartily trust and heartily believe that the spectacle shown us in Quebec will make the commencement of a new epoch in Canadian history, and that from this time more than ever in the past we will as common citizens feel bound to spend ourselves without stint and without hesitation for the promotion of our common interests.Gentlemen, in the name of the people of Ontario, I thank you for the glorious victory which vou, more than any other pro\"imge, have won for Liberal principles.It was, perhaps, but right and fair that the Pro- - vince of Quebec should lead on this occasion, apd though I would have llked to see Ontario in the van with you I can only hope and trust that at next elections Ontario will do as well ag Quebec.Better she cannot do.Sir Richard\u2019s splendid address aroused the enthusiasm of the crowd to the highest pitch.He was frequently cheered during its course but as he closed the applauée was deafening and prolonged.Mr.Ethier was introduced by Mr.Laurier as the Benjamin of the Liberal party.He (Mr, Ethier) spoke in French, telling how he under the leadership of Mr.Laurier had carried the district of Two Mountains, hitherto an impregnable Tory fortress.Mr.Ethier is an eloquent and humorous speaker | | and kept the audience laughing during a great part of his address.He said that while Montreal had only one mountain on \u2018which to raise Mr.Laurier\u2019's flag of victory, he had brought him two mountains for that purpose.Mr.James McShane was next introduced, Mr.Laurier jocularly entitling him, \u2018the People's Jimmy.\u2019 \u2019 \u2018Gentlemen,\u2019 said Mr.McShane, \u2018I stand before you as the defeated candidate of St.Ann's division.\u2019 (Cries of \u2018No.\u2019 He had not, however, been defeated by the votes of the people but by the greatest rascality and most diabolical means «ver used in an election.He was not dead yet, however.and hoped still to be able to take his place in Parliament alongside of his great leader and as a representative of St.Ann's division.He held, he said, ample proof to upset the election of his opponent who had been elected by hundreds and hundreds of telegraphers.Mr.Robert Mackay followed with a brief: speech, saying that though himself a defeated candidate he was proud of the victory of his party and of the great honor now done to its chief by the residents of Montreal.In a residence of nearly forty-one years in the city he had never seen a gathering which approached the present one.There were cries for Penny, and Mr.Dandurand stepped forward to introduce that gentleman.He said: \u2018Gentlemen, I am glad to introduce to you Mr.Penny, I have thanked you, electors of Montreal, for many things.But the thing 1 want to thank you for most, specially you of St.Lawrence division, is that you bave pricked a great bubble that has been floating before the eyes of the people.I allude to the \u2018Star\u2019 newspaper.By the election of Alderman Penny you have given a crushing blow to a trimming and a wobbling paper in this city called the \u2018Star.\u2019 (Laughter, groans, and derisive cheers.) I know that newspaper can do towards me what it did towards Mr.Donald Macmaster, put me on its black list, but I care not.The straightforward, honest course is the only true one, and when a paper has been trimming and wobbling for two years it is but just that it should meet its retribution at the hands of the people, and I tell you we were overflowing with joy the day you pricked that bubble and defeated their candidate, the Mayor.(Cheers.) Ald.Penny was proud to be the member elect of the House of Commons to represent the St.Lawrence division and support Mr.Laurier.He had fought a clean fight though he was sorry to say that the same men who had helped to elect him as a reform candidate to the City Hall some years ago had worked against him as the Reform candidate in the late election.He was happy to say, however, that be had \u2018beaten them.He thanked the great mass of the people who had elected him and promised to do his best for all classes.Mr.Dandurand once more addressed the crowd with the remark that having previously felt it his duty to draw at- CARTWRIGHT.! ; or tention to a wobbling, traitorous newspaper, it was no less his duty to say that there was another newspaper which, whatever its opinions were on some subjects, had been thoroughly straightforward and honest in its course.It had been very much so in the present crisis.He alluded to the Montreal \u2018Witness.\u2019 (Cheers.) He was glad to see Mr.James Harper of the \u2018Witness\u2019 present, ard asked him to say a few words.Mr.Harper was received with cheers, and said the \u2018Witness\u2019 had alwavs been straightforward at least.Recognizing that Canada under the British constitution had a brilliant career before her if Canadians but did their duty straightforwardly, honestly and patriotically, the \u2018Witness\u2019 had supported every measure calculated to reach that end.(Cheers.) He considered it a proud achievement and one that spoke volumes for the Province of Quebec and for the Domin- fon that the electorate had placed as first gentleman of Canada a French- Canadian in the person of the Hon.Wilfrid Laurier.(Applause.) Irrespective of party altogether the \u2018Witness\u2019 strove for the best interests of the Canadian workingman\u2014aye, and the Canadian merchant prince, even.None were free from the effects of the \u2018whiskey\u2019 that had been alluded to by a previous speaker.(Laughter.) He hoped, and was certain the people were also expecting from the government of Mr.Laurier a prohibition law for the good and welfare of the Dominion.(A cheer.) After some further remarks Mr.Harper concluded by the hope that by vise and honest administration Mr.Laurier wculd write progress upon their banner and thus mark a new era in the history cf Canada.They must not forget either that -thousands of Conservatives, disgusted with their own friends, had given aid in reaching the general Pesult.FripAy, JuxE 26, 1896, (Cheers.)
