CLOUDLESS SKY THE HAPPY EVENT TAKES PLACE-.SCENE ALONG THE ROUTE OF THE PROCESSION AND IN THE SURPASSING CHURCH ONE OF .BRILLIANCE Madrid.May 31\u2014 The city awoke to- iy under a cloudless sky, with dazzlin - N=hine adding its glories to the bewil- veilhg maze of color in which the streets were enveloped.liom au early hour the centres bpre- -vuiel au aspect of extreme animation.|.« entire night had been vassed amid ie «din of fireworks, singing and dancing, sud -housands of provincials, unable to ~ cure shelter, spent the might in caiés auil in the streets.At 8 o'clock crowds densely packed the main thoroughfares und the troops took up their positions, stopping all traffic, and tne whole city took on an air of feverish expectancq.The esplanade fronting the royal paiace was occupied by regiments of the Royal Guards in full gala uniforms, with glittering breastplatés and helmets.They formed semi-circles, guarding the approaches to the palace, frou the crowds eager to gain points of vantage.The massive outlines of the palace were without Je: rations save the Royal Standacd testing above, Detachments of hal berdiers, With graint cockades, stood with vrazons crossed at the Princess Gate, leading to the Palace courtyard.All along the route of the cortege hurried preparations were going on, Iroops lined both sides of the streets in solid ranks for miles.The scene from the Puerto del Sol to the Prado Palace was one of striking brilliancy.All the bulidings were resplendent with the yellow and red colors of Spain woven into sunbursts, huge rosettes and graceful streamers foopad irom roof to roof, aud arches of roses ivem which were suspended enormous flower baskets and trating vines.Undar this dazzling canopy of flags and flowers surged denee masses of humanity in festival attire, the women wearing white mantillas and bunches of bright flowers in their hair, and with bright colored fans whipping the air.\u2018The population of Madrid fod turned out in a body and was augmented to twice its usual size by wisi- tors [rom the country and neighboring towns.Princess Victoria came from the Prado Palace to Madrid early in the morning, accompanied by her mother, Princess Henry of Batteuberg, and ner ladies of honor, and escorted by» ropmenmt of Royal Guards.\u2018Tue brides party was in platled in the Ministry of Marine, which bad been sumptuously prepared for her.There the princess put on her wedding dress and Queen Onristina greeted the bride, after which the ladies breakfasted together In the Blue Salon of the min- lstry.WEDDING PROCESSION, The weding cortege started from the royal palace at 9.30 a.m., aroid the ringing of church bells, the firing of artilà salutes and the clamorous enthusiasm o the crowds massed aleng the lize.At the head of the procession rode trumpeters in crimson velvet suits of the time of Philip 1l., sounding the approach of the royal party.roliowing them came the personmel of the royal household; the heralds, mounted on stallions from the royal stud and capar- soned in Oriental style, each led by a cadet of the Royal Riding Academy and the equerries and grooms from the royal stables, leading the king's tavorite borses, with gold-embroidered saddle cloths and colored plumes, accompanied by 3 and riding masters and ull the bewildering equipment of a luxurious court.Next came along a line of gala coaches, of the Spanish grandees, each of a distinctive color, with panels rich- iy painted, gilded and jewelled and drawn by magnificent horses in silver harness, adorned by tall plumes mateh- ing the livery, Within roae the nobi- iy of Spain; the men wath their Lreasts covered with orders, and the Women in wedding attire.But the brilliancy of this part of the cortege was far surpassed when the famous royal gala coaches caine into view, each drawn by eight superb white horses with golden and silver harnesses aad lofty colored plumage, looking like Lne coaches depicted on some illuminated uage of a fairy book.These coaches formed one of the most striking features of ihe wedding cortege.They were marvels of luxury, some of tortoise shells, others of mahogany, set with panels painted\u201d by famous artists, all ornamented with precious metals, and emblazoned with the royal insignia.They were relics of by-gone days, when sings and queens rode in golden vehicles, but they had been renovated in all their original splendor for this occasion.The most interesting coaches were the Amaranth coach, for the court ladies; the cypher coach, for the lords in wait- Ing: the coach of the ducal crown, tor the infantus; and the sheil coach for the Queen mother.All the rappings and surroundings of these magnificent vehic'es were in keep ing, They were drown by teams of six and eight white horses, well matched and of the finest breeds.About these glittering vehicles circled retinues of groomns, pages, heralds, and res in the showy uniforms of Louis Iie coaches of the Spanish grandees were hasty less remarkable than those FOY1.fy.the main difference being were \u2018dryvn by only two aceordiag to rigid rule.» \u2018nav welt horses, Some of the most notable of these coaches were ae follows : The Duke of Asbas\u2019s coach, of yellow with red wheels, the plumage ot the borses and the livery oË the lackeys being in the same Color; that of the Marquis of Viana, a seventeenta century coach with -precious paintings by Vr- cente Lopez; that of the Marquis de Miraflores, distinguished by its whiteness, all of the plumage, harness and hiv.ery being of white; those of the Duke of Sotomayor and :he Marqus de l'ovar, each of blue with red wheels, and plumage of the same colors; that of the Duke of Tamames, brown, and of the Count of Heredia, green.There were some twenty-five of these historic coaches of the randees, each having its own pecu- har brilliancy, and all forming a singularly dazzling Jageant.Followmg the coaches oi the Spanis hpnaces and in- fantas were those of the visiting princes.including the Prince and Princess of W ales, the Archduke and Arcbduchess Francis Ferdinand of Austria, the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess Vladimir ot Russia, Prince Albrecht of Prussia, and Prince Albert of Belgium, and represen tatives of all the royal houses of Europe.Closing this dazzling array of princes appeared a coach bearing the royal crown, in which were seated King Alfonso, his witness, Prince Carlos, and His Majesty\u2019s little nephew, Prince Alfonso, the actual heir to the throne of Spain.As the king's coach appeared it was greeted by a great roar, while the multitude wildly waved handkerchiefs, fans and parasols.His Majesty could plainly be seen smiling and bowing to the popular greetings.He wore the uniform of a field marshal, his hat surmounted by a sweeping white plume.Around his coach was a cavalcade of royal guards, heralds, equerries aud pages, holding back the enthusiastic populace, Immediately following the royal coach came the bride\u2019s party, forming another glittering array of gala coaches, bearing the lords and ladies in waiting and the princes and princesses of the house of Battenbesg, and-fieraB É mahogany çoach, with the radiant bride, Princess Vietoria, attended by her mother and Queen Marie Christina.; The appearance of the princess .who was about to become their queen aroused the people to the highest pitch of emotion.Men and women cheered and shouted friendly salutations, while others from the balconies of the along the route showered flowers on the princess, and let loose hundreds of pigeons carrying long bright streamers.The bride looked most charming, and graciously acknowledged the continued ovations.As the cortège entered the Puerto del Sol the picture presented was strikingly beautiful, with the buildings ablaze with color, the streets packed by a dense mass of humanity, the balconies crowded with people, the swarming windows, housetops and trees, and, in contrast, the stately royal cavalcade defiling slowly amid the enthusiastic clamor of the populace.On reaching the Chamber of Deputies the cortege came in sight of the Church of St.Jeronimo el Real, which was mag- nificentlx adorned for the ceremony.Over the entrance was suspended an immense canopy of red and yellow velvet, embroidered with Spanish escutcheons and supported on gold-tipped lances, Awaiting the bridal party stood lines of halberdiers and palace guards.M THE BRIDAL TROUSSEAU.Except the wedding dress, all the bridal trousseau of robes, cloaks, evening and tea gowns, petticoats, and under linen, was made in London, where many of the dresses have been on exhibition, THE ROYAL PRESENTS.Madrid, May 31.\u2014The presents for King Alfonso and his bride are arriving from all quarters of the globe, from countries and their rulers, from provinces and cities, and even from schdo} children of Spain, who have contributed their mite to show their loyalty to the king.Some of these gifts are as follows: \u2014 The queen mother presents the king with her portrait painted by Morfo Car- bonero.The city of Madrid gives an enduring present to the bride by establishing a workmen's quarter, which is baptized \u2018Queen Victoria Eugenia.\u201d The Mayor of Madrid has invited all the mayors of Spain to sign an artistic album expressing their homages to the young couple.The manufacturers of Barcelona have presented the bride with a diadem of diamonds valued at 150,000 pesetas.The presents from royalty are notable mainly for their elegance and taste rather than their intrinsic worth, although some of them are of great value, Queen Christina presents the bride with a priceless court mantle which belonged to Queen Isabella ,of dark red velvet, wonderfully embroidered in gold.The bride\u2019s presents from the Spanish autocracy include many historic jewels, fine old fans, laces and porcelains.y \u2018came tire fanred houses- MONTREAL, The presents from the people of Spain | show the sympathy with which they receive the foreign Princess.° The school teachers throughout the country have subscribed a large amount for a sumptuous edition of \u2018Don ixote, \u2018accompanied by a message of felicitation on parchment.The English residents are vieing with the Spaniards in giving presents, the lish colonies of the interior towns having raised 100,000 pesetas for a diamond and pear! necklace.The friends of the King at Biarritz have united in making a truly rural gift of the Villa Mouriscot and its splendid estates, where the royal courtship began.CASTLE OF LA GRANJA.Madrid, May 30.\u2014The castle which Alonso and his Queen have chosen for their honeymoon is the Spanish Versailles, known as La Granja.It is a quaint and quiet spot, far removed from the inquisitive throngs of the capital, and with all the picturesque and romantic surroundings suitable.for a royal honeymoon.The palace is situated at the foot of the Imposing Dico de Penalara in the Guadarrama mountains, high above the sea level.The little village dates from ancient times, when Henry IV.built a chapel there and.dedicated it to St.Alfonso.Later, the friars of the Par- ral monastery established here a farm (La Granja) which so much suited the fancy of the first Spanish .bourbon, Phillip V., that he bought the place: and erected a magnificent palace with surrounding parks, in the style of bis French native country.The fountains and water works then established and still running aré not surpassed by any other royal possession in Europe.For years the Spanish Kings used this |- palace and park as a pleasure resort, much as the French kings passed their days of pleasure at Versailles.La Granja is at its best at this \u2018ims of year, and the bloss ius, ihe old Trees, the myrtle.lanes, the :ountains, and the fresh mountain air, will all serve {o make this royal honeymoon a delight.ROUTE OF WEDDING CORTEGE.Madrid, May Bl\u2014The route -of the wedding cortège was designed to give Princess Ena a glimpse of all that is Best of Madrid, in coming and going to the church, and at the same time to give the people an opportunity to see their new queen.The main route traversed the very heart of the city, beginning at tke west of the Plaga, del Oriente, facing the royal palace, passing through (he Cala der Arena! and the Calla del Alcala and the Carerra de San Jeronimo.are among the great arteries of Mx yerg bread, and

\u2018palm garden, and -cir- -cled_ with -some of be stateliest government buildings and museums, including the famous Prado Gallery.= : Along the way js passed the famous equestrian statue of- Philip IV., eur- rcunded by 44 other statues of the old Spanish kings.Further on is.the: opera house, not very imposing without;-but recently transformed within by a superb royal box, in which the new queen will soon take her place.At the Ruerta del Sol is the Ministry of the Interior, faeing the splendid Plaza.Beyond is the new building of the Hispano-American Bank and of one of the American insurance companies.The Cervantes statue, the parliament buildings, the ministry of finance and war, the Academy of Fine Arts, the imposing Bank of Spain, are-on the way to the Prado.Near by is the obelisk -erected in honor of the martyrs of the war of independence, and the stately stock exchange building.At the Neptune fountain the route of the procession ascended to the Church of Jeronimo, where the marriage ceremony took place.Practically the same route was passed on the way back from the church, but there were so many different branches of the pageant\u2014 some with the king alone, some with the bride's retinue, others with the queen mother and other branches of the royal household, and the innumerable suites of foreign princee\u2014that al] Madrid had an opportunity to see something of the spectacle.THE ANCIENT CHURCH.Madrid, May 31.\u2014The Church of San Jeronimo el Real, where the nuptial mass was celebrated and the marriage benediction pronounced, is a quaint old structure which has passed through some strange vicissitudes, This is not the first royal marriage celebrated there, for the wedding of Isabella II.took place in great pomp within its walls, But more recently the church was abandoned to a carpenter's shop and planing mill, and the whir of saws took the place of the solemn measures of the 1nass.The origin of the church was one of the strange whims of the old king of Castile, Henry IV.He had set up a magnificent tournament on the Prado road to celebrate the arrival of a new British ambassador.The tournament was notable for the courage displayed by the king's favorite, Beltran de la Cueva, who not only unhorsed four knights, but also, single-handed and on horseback, with a small javelin, conquered and killed an infuriated bull which had torn to pieces the greatest toreadors of Spain.The .king, to commemoraty this event, founded a monastery, which the Jeronimo friars inaugurated.Later, Isabella, the Catholic, shifted the site of the monastery to its present place.Here it became the royal chapel, and during the gay era of Philip IV.all the royal alliances end ceremonies took place THURSDAY , builditég -| now ifx;hand or to be carried out in

to the palace, PENNSYLVANIA RAILWAY The New Station in New York will be Unique THE ARCHITECTURAL PLAN WAS SUGGESTED BY THE MAGNIFICENT BATHS OF CARACALLA.According.to the \u2018Railroad Gazette,\u2019 the new Pennsylvania Railway station in New York, for.which the plans are now practically perfected, will be unique arcegg all the railway stations of the world in the number and convenience of its entrances and exits.This condition is due to the fact that each of the four sides of the structure is a front, opening respectively on two.wide avenues and two important sireets, which latter have been widened by the company to eighty feet each.he geography of the sation is interesting.It 1s bounded on the east by Seventh ahd the west by Eighth avenue; on the south by the Thirty-first, and tbe north by Thirty- third street.In the centre of the hotel, theatre | and shopping district the advantage of its location is obvious.As the tracks are 40 feet below the surfacé of the | streets the station is divided into three levels.From the street level upward.the walls of the structure rise to the beight of 60 feet, except in the centre, where the roof of the general wai \u201creaches abe of 150 feet, a oroer of Bighth avenue and ty third atséet, where\u2019 there is an \u2018eleva: tion of four stories for ce purposes.The \u2018architéctiral design of the entire the c exterior iy a [Doric colonnade, 35 feet}.v a low attic, -rais- ing \u2018the génersl elevation to 60 feet: The unusual extent of the building in area and its general type are suggestive of the great baths of ancient Home.In fact, the baths of Caracalla, still magnificent in their ruins, were the inspira tion of this architectural plan.Al though, the building is low by contrast with itgskyscraping neighbors, its scope makes it impressive, and the lofty roof of the: waiting room, rising high above the top of the surrounding structure, with its eight large semi-circular openings, 72 feet in diameter, adds dignity to the group of buildings and at the same time makes them a conspicuous landmark, when seen the perspective from the streets.In appearance it is a wide departure from the conventional railway station.One misses the turrets and towers and more than all the lofty arched train shed, but as the principal function of this station is performed underneath the streets, the upward and visible signs of the ordinary railway station are naturally abeent.It will rather resemble some vast auditor- jum constructed on low lines for the easy ingress and egress of a multitude of peo- le.P The track surface of the station may be compared to two unfolded fans joined together at the open ends, the handle of one extending under the Hudson and that of the other under the Kast \u2018River.Within the station area, covering twenty-five acres of ground space, there are sixteen miles of tracks.NEW CHIEF JUSTICE.Ottawa, May 31.\u2014It is rumored here that the Hon.Charles

Toronto, May 39.\u2014 The Divisional Court this morning dismissed the \u2018appeal of Mayor Ellis, of Ottawa, and the Consumers\u2019 Electric Company, from the order of Mr.Justice Anglin, allowing Ald.Black to sue Mayor Lillis for concluding a contract with an electric company In terms different from those approved by the council for the acquisition of the company\u2019s plant by the city of Ottawa.Couveel for Mayor Ellis claimed that Ald.Black had no status, that the action was premature, and that the claim might not be valid.He also insisted that the amendment in the statement of claims should not be allowed to be made.Mr.Charles Moss, for the elee- tric company, contended that Ald.Black was not the proper plaintiff, but that the action should be laid by some one who would represent the ratepayers for all time, in whatever course the action might proceed, and whom the company could sue to compel the carrying out of the agreement with the mayor, or to recover the balance of $3,771.79 due which Ald.Black had blocked by a motion tor an injunction.Tacripay, May 31, 1908 A PROTESTANT FEDERATION SUCH IS ADVOCATED BY DH.SPROULE, ORANGE GRAND MASTER.\u2014_\u2014 Toronto, May

sound of running water in the brook near by, warns me that the long winter has at last begun to go.Though April 8 to 14 was about the coldest week of the whole winter.The thermometer was twenty-five below zero on the 10th, and on the 14th we had the heaviest blizzard and snowfall since Christmas.So cold has it continued that with the cxeeption of one duy's rain in February, net even the surface of the snow has yielded a jot ta the strong spring sun which at mid-day has poured down upon us.Suddenly, on April 17, winter collapsed like a broken eggshell, or the big giant in the hands of Jan Ridd, of \u2018Lorna Doone\u2019 fame.Since that moment it has been hot and steamy as an oven.Eyery- thing everywhere - has been wet.We have jumped into summer without, as it were, an hour of twilight.- Mv many long journeys this winter have, alas, left us without firewood, for my dogs have been constantly away on service.The firewood is stil where it was cut, and dogs would now have to swim to get it.For the water has accutmulazed -more rapidly on the ice than it can possibly get away.We hope, however, for a few gond frosts at night in Maay before the snow has all left us.Towards the end of March we managed tn get hospital sufficiently empty to enable me to leave for a trip to the westward.The only case then causing me anxiety was a little boy on whom we had performed an abdominal operation.A well-developed, bright, intelligent boy.His malformation had never allowed him to run and jump like other boys.The deformity was growing worse as he grew older.The isolation of the place he lived in left him no prospect except of a miserable, crippled life.I am glad to be able to say he has made a perfect recovery, and I hope soon to have the privilege of carrying back her only son to his mother, almost a mew boy.He came here, not only a cripple, but from the isolation of life, too much afraid of any of us to speak.Now, after 2 month under the care of the Sister In , the ward with the other boys, he looks ome -in the face, and has learned things that will make a man of him.Fresh food being at a great premium at this time of the year, we arranged to try for some trout through the ice on the first lake that we crossed.The ice being three feet thick, the \u2018difficulty of making holes was very great.Though there was not a foot of \u2018water beneath this heavy ice, we landed a number of nice trout up to a pound weight, so that we left word for one of our hospital men to come over and try for more.His bag was sixteen dozen.: At night we brought up at

A large \u2018pan\u2019 of ice on which were thous ands of old and young seals, had been driven by the winds and tide, and amidst the constant shuffle of the floe had frozen tight alongside the island.My host at dinner bad heard the running out, had captured 51 before the \u2018pan\u2019 was passed along.\u2018The rest of the men of the island had left only the day before for the north-east, where they heard seals had been sighted.Four of these fat babies we purchased te feed our hungry dogs upon, and their soft white skins to make a rug of, Late in the afternoon I was visiting in another

out to borrow boilers, we upstairs knocked down the partition and made two nooms into one, took out\u2019 the winidow pane in its entirety, and put up a tem.\u2018porary bed and operating table in the centre of the enlarged room, Borrowing two oil-skin coats, we made a very fair substitute for mackintoshes.and empty water jars served admirably for hot- water bottles.Two men were despatched to

THURSDAY, MAY- 81, 1906.The names of six prominent citizens have been bandied about by rumor as likely to contest with Mr.Ward the seat from wiüuiçh he has been removed by an unavoidable technicality.We regard these rumors as slanders upon these gentleman.It 15.we think, known that Mr.Ward, the moment he got into the council, became the active champion of radical opposition to the Light, Heat and Power combination, that, through a fulness of grasp of the.details of that struggle and a fearless and restless tenacity ot purpose, he was ga thorn in the side of the combination, making him one to be got.rid of at all costs, \u2018The person who took action against Mr.Ward's retaining his seat, on the ground that he had accepted damages for a flooding of his cellar, gave personal pique as his motive, and it is not for us to dispute his motives.Suffice it that mow Mr.Ward is out of the Council and offers himself for rezelec- tion.Who is going to convince the electors that any one who opposes him is not going to have the interested support of.a eombimation which seems to have many in the Council under its thumb, and would not be counting on that support! Nothing could iriure the reputation of a public roan more than to offer himself at such a time.A poor boy is drowned in the Canal.He may or may not have friends who can afford a search.His body may be in the Canal or pass through a mill race for all the police have to do with it.We have an excellent police force, immensely improved under present management, but the number of things the Montreal police have nothing to do with is an ever.new study to the people of Montreal.We are glad, at least, that they now.seem able to keep their coats nice.Meantime, if it is not - the business of the police, whose business is it to gét a body out of the Canal Is it the poor broken-hearted mother \u2018who must do this?And supposing there was no mother, whose duty would it be?We are finding no fault with the police, but there âre many things that a police farce might attend to that ours is ap er for a year, a perently unequal .to.Indeed, it: Montreal wes uot a singularly law abiding city we should le very il off with the force we have.The people of the interior of Formosa are known as the head-bunters.They are said to be in the main sn amiable people, but hive a hereditary love for heads as decorations for that portion of their dwellings which anewets in saoted- ness to the fireplace among the British.The Indians of our own country aré said to have been very proud of their tale of scalps.We do not know whether it is climate or not, but the same propensity seems to have taken terrible hold of the, people of the middle tier of the United States in our own day.They do not find human life so cheap that they seek individual victims whose trophies they may preserve, but whenever they see a good chance of making a manhunt\u2019 in whole mobs it has an irresistible fascination for them.The offering to Khali is usually a negro, who may or may not be the criminal they take him for.He is a negro anyway.- The Formosan Read- hupters regard difference of race as a circumstance that makes murder peculiarly virtuous.With our \u2018Mississippi valley white tribes a negro is considered good game enough, but it hardly affords a relish equal to a white hanging.We have no doubt that righteous indignation at the delays and subterfuges and quirks of the lega) proceedings afforded to the most recent man-hunters of Louisiana the exé cuse which public opinion demanded for a hanging picnic.But though we believe ourselves as capable of indignation under such circumstances as any hoodlum in the South, we cannot imagine a crowd of Canadians spontaneously acting the exegutioner and coming from far and near to enjoy the performance.Possibly it is because our courts better fulfil their functions, and the primal animal Just of killing has therefore not been revived in us.mpl + A Five million and 8 quarter dollars will go to \u2018Davy Jones's locker\u2019 it the British first~class battleship * Monta- gw proves to be a total wreçk, \u2026 8s pow seems likely.Fortunately, disaster to the \u2018Montagu\u2019 is ope to property alone, and.does not include Joss of life, ag did the ramming of the \u2018Victoria\u2019 by the \u2018Camperd wn,\u2019 when Sir George \u2018Lryon lost bis fe.But even this property loes alone js food for grave 1& flection.- It points a moral.lt means that the wages.cf 21,000 workmen\u2019 of gone forever.family be n at five, the uspaP est- mate, the wreck of this one battleship means the loss of a jear\u2019s sustenance to 105,000 people of the above class, ,mên, women and children.\u2018Phis gives some the British lsles, at .oy pound dl.& week r + the \u2018small idea of the strain upon our fel low subjects of the United Kingdom of that magnificent navy which we in Can ada so proudly claim as our own, but to which we do not contiibute a cent.Wi dren on lmpire Day sing at the Arena that the sun never sets on our might;

the coiticism they weye gal- ting in the newspapers 3nd magazine and that he was.persepslly Informed that the charges were-true.The Pres: dent, nevertheless, promised to keep the report of bis \u2018investigators under: obver, provided the Trust did: not gppose the Beveridge bill, which provides \u201cfor a striet Federal regulation, inspection and supervision of meat products.This promise of the President, bav- ing come to be known, has naturally raised an outcry.As the \u2018Evening Post\u2019 says: \u2018Men and women -who possess any \u2018imagination at all are now reddy to * believe that the canned meats of Lar \u2018cago contain flesh in all stages of dis.\u2018ease and decay\u2014flesh of human beings \u2018and ofall the common animals, im \u2018cluding the rat\u2019 The affidavits.and documents sustaining the charges made by Mr.Sinclair in hia book, \u201cI'ng Jungle,\u201d are so nauseating as to produce almost physical sickness while reading them.As a comparatively mild sample, we quote from a letter to Mr.Sinclair from a former government inspector,who was for more than two years in à truat packing house, and who vouches for the authors accuracy.The letter is printed in the New York \u2018Times\u2019: One gf the steady \u2018sources | supply 2 sausage\u2019 meat comes from tHv' gnenid whiob have been shipped to branch \u201chouses: If les were slow it would remein until mouldy, slimy, and unfit to be sold in the, original form, then it would be sent bck to the packing house to be, converted into etc.Aa \u2018long as any article of packing house products can be identified by means United States Meat Inspectot's stamp or label as originally coming from a plant having United States Inspectors, the Government officers have no.power to prohibit its re-entry into the plant; pet even if beef is covered with slime so that even the workmen, used _as they are {0 all kinds of repulsive sights, refuse to touch it with bare hands ; not even if & ham fs filled with \u2018skippers\u2019 or sausage once sent out ls returned rotten and stinx- ing.CU A travelling salesman for Swift & \u2018Uv, who had access to every part of the yards for seven years, affirms: As to canned goods it le an open\u2019 quipe- tion what they are made of.In ali \u2018 time I was with Swift & Co.'I never #aw any chicken except in cold storage,\u201d and I am certain there ie none used in making potted chicken and such.The cow's:fd- ders wre most generally used for ibis purpose, being colored with a composition of iron \u2018to take away the white effect.While this may be good eating, it seems to me it ts plainly a fraud.They also\u2018uee unborn calves for this eame purpose.\u201cNow when it comes to cottage bain, \u201cAls is made of smoked beet ends, smoked ham trimmings, bacon trimmings, and odds.apd ends that ere worked up with fat-and hgef fuices.Without question the filthiest, part of the whole Proposition ie the beef car fugs, with which I have had a good \u2018Ééa! of experience, and \u2018while every eftofy\u2019 is trade ta clean thesb casings In\u2019 the best!pbe-\" sible manner, it would seem to me Ehat their sale should be abeolutely prohibited.\" The Chervelat eausage i» made of beef wessands, certain Cther parts that are got permissable to mention on pâper, ends of beef cartilage, ete., and Without exception the cheaper grades of epusage madé\u2019 in Swift & Co.are ureserved with curine, which, as I understand it, is a combination of borax and some qmba!ming ma- terisl.All this is bad enongb, but it is insignificant to much that is related and sworn to.Mr.Sinclair himself says, for 1n- stance, in a passage that out-Zôla\u2019s Zola: \u2018] charged,\u2019 said he, to a New York \u2018Times\u2019 reporter, \u2018that dead hogs were shipped from Chicago packing houses\u2019 to Globe, Ind., and there rendered into lard.These were hogs that died in shipment from cholera or from smothering.Hogs are cannibals and when one dies from cholera the others are all fnfected by eating the dead.The President's Commis- sloners learned that these dead bogs were not rendered into Jer® \u2018but were transformed into what ls known as unrendered hog\u2019s grease, which is sold all over the world, fer every.purpose ooncelvable.Some of it, under contract, goes to France and comes back to this country es sardine oil.\u2018I also charged that human beings fell into the lard rendering vats in Chicago establishments and were rendered into lard which was eold, I presented, through 8 representative, the facts In ond specific case, but the Commissioners ha'd that It was not sufficiently proven.There wae another case in which two men fell into a vat, and the flesh from their legs was bolled off and rendered Into lard, This Tard was eold.: \u2018There 1s no euch thing as stopping à.sausage machine when one of the operators loses w finger or even a hand.The member goes in human flesh and comes out sausege.Instances of This kind are s0 common that they cause not the slightest comment.The operators gre all uncleanly, and many of them affiicted with tuberculeeis.They apit on the ment in preference to spitting on the floor.I have seen this time and again myself.\u2019 It was natural for the packers to de-1 sire secrecy.However exaggerated, these charges must destroy their business unless they are disproved.That is, in the nature of things beyond their power, but frankness is now their only recourse.The \u2018Evening Post\u2019 says: \u201cln \u2018justice, to themselves, the packers \u2018should demand the cold facts; for æ \u2018long as the President and his special \u2018agenta remain silent, the public will \u2018suspect them of concealing something \u2018 worse than is yet generally known.We \u2018are all easily excited about what we \u2018eat; and millions of people must al \u2018ready have vowed that never again \u2018will they touch canned meats or by- \u2018 products of the slaughter-house in any \u2018form\u2019 President Roosevelt can make po lasting bargain with the paekera, such as he is mid to bave done Ade r= Rr Ya LY people will.demand the publication of the report.The truth must be known, horrible as it may be.A STORMY PETREL AT PEACE.A stormy petrel of \u2018British politics passed away yesterday in the person of Michael Davitt.He was o man of great force of character, of splendid intellectual power, and tbe most intense Britisher may admire his pluck and persistence.Under happier auspices, he might have served the empire, as other great Irishmen have done, instead of hating its very name; but he had good cause in his early years to learn from his father\u2019s lips that all was not well with his country, the latter having suffered eviction in the sin- inter year of 1852.Before criticising too harshly even the extremes to which Mr.Davitt went in his youth a little reading of Irish history would not be amigs.even | as presepted by English historians.There | was a famine, for instance.which began in the winter of 1739, during which a fifth of the population of Ireland is supposed to have perished; yet it is hardly \u2018noticed in literature, and seems not to have touched the conscience cf that English public which in 1755 subscribed half -& million dollars for the sufferers by the Lisbon earthquake.It was the famine of 1845 which first thoroughly awakened the best sort of Englishmen to their duty towards Ireland; but until very recent years Ireland has been cursed by landlord absenteeism, the landowners having had | no doubt some reason to preier residence elsewhere.The country\u2019s economic condition, especially in the south and west, was frightful.Reform upon reform has been granted snce Catholic ¢mancipation had to be granted in 1820.If the people did not then become frankly loyal, it was hardly to be wondered at, for they L ed they owed to their own importunity and their own pusfortunes more than to the wisdom of their rulers.England, in the case of Ireland, has indeed experiénced the truth of the Scriptural saying that the sins of the fathers visit the children.If for so long Irishmen had not been cruelly repressed, they would not have conceived the bitterness which bas worked themselves, as well as their neighbors, so much evil, and much suffering and violence would have been spared.Happily, in recent times, much has been done to remove the sense of injustice and oppression from the mind of the average Irishman; and although he may not yet feel any great friendship for his great neighbor, he is no longer actively hostile, and even friendship may not be despaired of in the fear future.Perhaps it was not quite such & result as this that Michael Davitt would have wished to come about out of his strenuous early efforts to free his people from \u2018the hated British yoke.\u2018But man proposes; God disposes.\u201d When a change of heart towards Ireland took place in such men as Gladstone, Har court, Morley, Wyndham, and even Balfour, along with the people representing the Liberals of England, Scotland and Wales, it was natural that the asperities should be softened on both sides, and thet Irishmen, the most warm-hearted of people, should determine that future efforts towards reforms should be along constitutional lines.Mr.Davitt undoubtedly had a great deal to do with helping to bring about the present better state of things, and although we may deplore his early violence and his hatred of things British, we should always remember that he was an open enemy, with the faith and courage of bis convictions, and that he sincerely believed that his way was the only way.- With Dr.Isaac Butt as leader of the Home Rule party, little, if any, progress seemed to be made, and Mr.Davitt was not the only Irishman of prominence who came to the conclusion that the British Parliament was not to be moved by conservative methods.lt is his distinction that, with Parnell, he founded the Irish Land League and fought his way from trench to trench in a cause of whose righteousness and inevitableness he was profoundly convinced.His career from mill hand to journalist, author, member of parliament and traveller, cannot be too much admired as an example of a \u2018never-failing and honorable perseverance.He was beloved and honored by his family and by bis people, and that surely is \u2018a high reward for past sufferings and efforts.A WELL-FILLED POCKET-BOUK.-A library, of course, I want;

Heavy Traffic Months\u2014February Generally Lowest Gross passenger earnings of the Montreal Street Railway Company system for eight months to May 29, show an increase of almost a quarter of a millivn dollars over the corresponding period of the pre- | vious year, or a fmatter of about l4 per- j cent.The table appended will give some i idea of the respective value of the various | menthe as dividend earners.It fe seen | that February of both 1905 and 1906 is à lcng way \u2018behind the other months, a fact which is not easy to understand, as February of this year was a remarkably fine | month contrasted with a severe month of snowstorms in February of 1805.October i and May were the heaviest earnere In both years, which would suggest that during the finer months the cars are brought ouch more Into public service.This will, no doubt, be surprising to those not familiar with cur excellent walking weather during an average Canadian winter.Ne\u2018 earnings are, of course, regulated by gross recelpts, and the condition of the veather, which has a very important \u2018bearing on the cost of operating the road.The increases in Eros and net earnings cver the previous year will be interesting to the people of Montreal and district In stowing the all-round development that mvet be in force to account for such em- ormous expansion.\u2018The net returns are only available up to

- pretty general \"THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS REMARKABLE OAT YEAR \u2014 Peculiar Conditions Prevent Wide Range of Prices in U.S.A.SMALL EXPORTABLE SURPLUS OF CANADIAN OATS DUB TO INTERNAL CONSUMPTIVE DEMAND.A remarkable feature of the American oat market during the past year bas been the heavy volume of business worked oo a very small range of prices.The fluctuations for the twglve months ending to-day show a difference of only 65c between the highest point reached last week, and the lowest, in August, 1905.Speoulation has been good moet of the yeer, and in face of the 953,000,000 bushel crop, the largest ever ralsed, there is believed to be jittie eurplue left.The !Im- ited range ehows that constant eeliing pressure hae fhelped to prevent a material advence, but the effect of the quality of the crop must also be taken Into consideration.Past \u2018experience has shown the effects of a low grade crop on the market, wben, ignoring the total production, operators have \u2018bought options on tha New York and Chicago markets knowing that, while there \u2018was no actual scarcity of oats, there was a shortage of contract quality grain, and epeculative conditions were rendered the same as in a short crop year.But let the crop be of uniformly good quality, and even M it Je only eeven or eight hundred million bushels \u2018n total production, such an attempt would epeedi- ly he swamped by plentiful supplies drawa from all parts of the country.To have such & narrow range in the face of the largest etocks on record for twelve months is unusual, and shows @& healthy abeorption throughout the year.In the preceding year the range was almost 10 cents, the top price being 39 cents, and in 1904 it was 15 cents.But the small range tlie year was overskadowed by 1900, when on a 736,000,000 bushel crop the range for.May for the season \u2018was 20% to 263 cents.NO OPTIONS IN (CANADA.The fact that there are no option mar- ; kets in Canada, and that the bulk of the production is required for domestic consumption, makes a comparison of the Canadian and American markets difficult.The Ontario Government's estimate of last year's oat crop places the total production at 106,000,000 bushels in that province, and allowing for another 100,000,000 bushels from the weet, the total yield in Canadà would probebly be in the neighborhood of 225,000,000 to 230,000,000 bushels.Of late veare, the rapid growth of the country has ateorbed the increace In production as fast ae it was made, and to-day enormous quantities of oats are used in the west, where rallway \u2018construction le so active.Large numbers of horses are utilized, and the matura of their work requires that they be well fed.[Lumbering operations between Ottawa and Port William have aleo acocunted for some heavy shipments to that region, and farmers in many paris of Ontario are going in for the more attractive and profitable branches of cattle and dairy farming In preference to grain cultivation.It has been estimated that not more than hal a million bushels of oats have been exported this season from Eastern Canada, and the British, French, Belgium.and other Continental markets, which used to draw their supplies from this side of the Atlantic, have been forced to go to southern Réesla, the Black Sea port, and, in good eeasons, to the Scandinavian Pen- fnsula to M their requirements.; There has been considerable export business In Manttoba grain, but to\u2019 what.extent the operations have heen conducted, is hard to eay, as the Hulk of the shipments have been made through New York, In bond to the West Indies, where there is a good market for Canadian oats, DAIRY PRODUCE Picton, Ont., May 30.\u2014Twelve factories bearded 1,160 boxes of colored and 100

the Department of Commerce and Labor says that commerce on the great lakes during April and fhe first four months of 1906 exceeds that of like periods in any earlier year.For April the shipments from all points on the lakes amounted to 4,365,505 net tons, while for the year to April 30 tbey aggregate 5,418.- 481, a gain for the month of 1,975,042, and for the four months of 1,592,656 net tons, if compared with corresponding movements in 1906.It should be noted, however, says the bulletin, tbat the unusually heavy westbound movement of coal was probably in sbme degree due to the storing of vast quantities of this commodity at eastern ports prior to the opening of the lakes, in (anticipation of à coal strike, while the general movement of nearly all articles of commerce may have been accelerated by the fear of a general strike, among steamship employees, of which there seemed to be a probability during the entire month.Of the coal, iron ore and copper ship- mente, which for April 1906, comprised over 50 percent of the total outbound movements, the coal moved almost entirely from east to west, while the movement of iron and copper was generally in the opposite direction.Of the April coal movement 398,839 tone were shipped from Cleveland and 328,624 from Buffalo.TORONTO MARKETS Toronto, Ont.May 31.\u2014Flour\u2014Ontaria\u2014 The market holde firm.Exporters bid $3.15 tor

VICTIMS.London, May 31.\u2014The 8t.Petersburg correspondent of the \u2018Tribune \u2018paints a distressing picture of the famine in Russia.He says that peasants lie prostrate in the ciputs, dying from lack of food and from the epidemics, which swiftly follow in the wake of famine.However loudly the sufferers complain, no help comes to them.Twenty-.wo provinces are affected, and the victims number millions.The distress exceeds that which prevailed in the famine years of 1891 and 1892.Such help us is possible needs to be increased fivefold to be in the least degree effective.Private subscriptions come in slowly, The Government's subsidly is insignificant, while the officials place obstacles in the way of every unofficia] help.The Minister of the Interior, fearing that reformers will come in contact with the starving peasants, has ordered all soup kitchens that have been opened without the permission of- the local government to be elosed.The obeying of this order has closed

and, having tested the\u2019 quality of the masonry, ventured upon the terrace and inspected the feast.There were more nectarines\u2014but he had bad enough of those\u2014and something steaming 10 a silver vessel, the like of which he remembered to have encountered once before in the bungalow of a sahib.Moreover, he had not forgotten how it epouted a boiling liquid when one took it up in one\u2019s trunk.At this moment a shameless female slave appeared at a window, in response to the cries of the houri, and abused him.He could not, it is true, understand her barbarous language, but the tone implied abuse.Such an insult from the scum of the earth could not be allowed to pag unnoticed.le filled his trunk with water from a marble basin near at hand, and squirted it at her with all_his force and the scum of the earth departed quickly.It would be.well, thought the ele- phaat, to find the \u2018Damecemsul\u2019 before further untoward incidents could occur;

sick or bilious head.sche, nervous headache, headache from constipation, etc.Headache is an effect of disease, the cry of the suffering body for relief from some oppressing disorder.Undoubtedly the cause must be removed in order to cure the headache permanently.Wrong action of the stomach, liver or bowels is responsible for nine out of ten cases of headache.In sick headache (a very common form) there is sometimes nausea and vomiting sod usually constipation.In nearly all forms of headache Burdock Blood Bitters bas proved itself a ifio\u2014a medicine that has cured where others failed.Keep the stomach, liver and bowels in perfect working order by the use of nature's regulator and tonic, Burdock Blood Bitters, which cures all forms of headache by removing the cause.Miss L.Smith,

Approval of the Project ALSO FAVOR EXTENSIVE PARK SYSTEM FOR THE CITY.Mr.Alfred Willis, manager of the South-Eastern, Chatham and Dover Railway, of England, appeared before the council of the Board of Trade, and also before the Chambre de Commerce, yesterday, to give particulars of a proposal now being advanced by certain British capitalists to construct a new bridge to connect Montreal with the south shore.He said that he represented a number of British capitalists who had already considered the proposal with favor, and who, upon his report as to the feasibility of the scheme, were prepared to proceed with the construction of a bridge which would provide accommodation for steam raliway, street railway, passenger and vehicular traffic.The needs of the city were such that a bridge of this character would be of great benefit.He lauked the-support of the council fu urging upon the government the granting of what he considered most reasonable assistance towards the erection of the bridge.The council of the Board of Trade reaffirmed a resolution passed in 1902 approving of the project, and the Chambre de Commerce also approved the suggestion to call the attention of the government to the scheme.At the meeting of the council of the Board of Trade it was stated that an invitation had been extended to the council to be represented at a meeting of the Civic Improvements Committee of the Province of Quebec Architects\u2019 Association, to be held on June 1, for the purpose of considering the general lines of the suggested improvements in connection with the institution of a park system in this city.The executive committee was appointed to represent the Board at the meeting.Mr.Clarence A.Bogert placed his resignation in the hands of the council, this course having been rendered necessary by his appointment to the general mana- gership of the Dominion Bank.The resignation was accepted with the keenest regret, and the seat on the council thus rendered vacant was filled by the appointment of Mr.B.Austin, manager of the Eastern Townships Bank, who will hold office until the next election.Under date of April 24, Mr.J.8.Larke, Canadian commercial agent in Australia, had written as follows concerning the manner in which that country levies duty on freight charges on Canadian exports: \u2014 \u2018I have yours of March 21.The duty on Canadian inland freight on exports to Australia will not be removed when these goods are shipped via Vancouver, but will bear the same rate as if they were shipped by New York.\u2018In invoices there will be added the freight from the Canadian export point to the nearest border town, when shipped via New York, instead of the freight to Vancouver.\u2018I thank you and your council for your appreciation of this reduction.\u2019 The following were admitted to membership: Mr.Raymond Willis, local manager of the Willis-Fabre Company; Mr.E.L.Baugh; Mr.George A.Forbes, of the Canadian Bond and Investment Company; Mr.J.Hayden Horsey, manager of the Dominion Bank; Mr.George C.Nicholson; Mr.A.Bodenweiser, manufacturer, and Mr.Pemberton Smith, insurance agent.The council then adjourned for the summer months, leaving in the hands of the executive the transaction of the ordinary business of the board.At the meeting of the council of the Chambre de Commerce the following were admitted members of the Chambre: Messrs.Joseph Versailles, H.A.Robert, L.C.Rivard, L.N.Patenaude, Alexandre Michaud, C.Massicotte, Damase La- rose, Henri Lanctot, Arthur Lamalice, E Lenoire.Wilfrid Landriault,

STREETS.sweep along the streets of the city and not only disgusting to people of cleanly habits, but are most dangerous to the | public health.Excepting, perhaps, last.autumn, when the road cleaning department suspended work in the expectation of a fall of snow which did not come, it is probable that the city never was in such a filthy condition as now.Some attempt at cleanliness is made in the main streets, but this is to a large extent counteracted by the faulty construction of the road beds and the fact that the majority \u2018of the side streets are quite neglected.Inches deep in mud or dust is the normal condition of these streets, and the filthiness of it is \u2018a:- centuated by the inadequate way M which the collection of refuse is carried out.The following opinions of doctors on the present state of the city will serve to show how serious this question of filthy streete has become: \u2014 THE DIRTIEST HE HAS EVER SEEN.\\ \u2018The city ought to be kept clean.That is a simple statement, but it is one ot t importance So said Dr.James tewart to a \u2018Witness\u2019 representative.\u2018Dirt in any and every form 18 un-

notoriously dirty streets to which Mdntrealers have ever been foroed to submit.Gross ignorance is at the bottom of the whole trouble, for a great majority of the people know nothing of the dangers to the respiratory system which the clouds of dust hold for Montrealers, with other cities, the streets of Montreal are without exception the worst kept and the dirtiest which I had ever seen.In comparison The streets of our city will never he their carelessness to realize the danger which lurks in dirt and dust.Montrea! with her inadequate sanitary precautions, is quite behind the times and can never.beoome healthy till she becomes clean.\u2019 RESPONSIBLE FOR MANY DISEASES.Dr.F.G.Finley stated that without doubt the dirty condition of our streets was in a large degree responsible for many of the res ratory, diseases, suc: as catarrh, asthma bronchitis and neumonia, \u2018which were 80 prevalent in Montreal.It was not so much the amount of vegetable matter left on the streets, disgusting as such neglect wis, but more the all-pervading clouds © dust which penetrated houses, offices and factories, and which were of the danger to the city\u2019s health.isease erms could not Jive in pure clean air and sunlight.A better road construc- Here, tion and care was necessary.3 even when we did have roads, anyone geemed free to tear them up for r whatsoever.Not only from Pa \u201cmedical standpoint was the city\u2019s dirt objectionable, but also from the mere point of comfort.\u2018Lhe hap less pedestrian was blinded with clou , which pervaded the sanctum of the moat industrious housekeeper.and alike disgusted Montrealers an visitors to \u2018he city.THE PARADISE OF CARRIAGE MENDERS.Hin, n was very em- pe about the Famenta bl condition of Montreal's highwa leanne.said he, \u2018is, of the frat momen espe: cially \u2018s it of moment in a city whos streets are paved withe stone wh:ch 1e easily reduced to powder.\u201d In answer to the question, \u2018Do you think that the dirty condition of our streets is of medical importance?Sir William replied, \u2018If, as is generally believed, one of the most formidable diseases (the tubercule) enters the body through the nostrils, it is of moment that the noxious material be not facilitated in its diffusion.Nothing but pure air should enter the nostrils, and any admixture, emanations trom decomposing animal or vegetable matter, cannot be otherwise than hurt ful.\u2019 \u2018In regard to disease, fever or cholera, for instance, is their entrance to the body facilitated by the medium ot dirt?\u2018These are in two separate categories.In the former, since fever enters through the nostrils, \u2018dust would aid its attack, but in the \u2018latter, since cholera enters the system through the digestive organs, dirt wou'd have lese influence upon its action \u2018How do the streets of Montreal compare with those of other cities?\u201d \u2018Of the mapy cities I have seen, ! have never found the streets of any city in so lamentable a condition as are the streets of Montreal, the paradise of carriage-makers and carriage-menders.\u2019 \u2018Could you suggest any method of construction which would improve the condition of our streets?\u2019 \u2018Any method is preferable to that ot Montresl.The wooden block system, clean until the people wake up from; \u201cour st which is used in othe; cities, London, for example, lasts for many years.\u2018I'he SA Leading Doctors Say the City\u2019s Condition is Dangerous to the Public Health, The clouds of dust and refuse which blocks are put down with: great care.; The bed on which they rest is as even into the stores and dwelling-houses are as skilled mechanism can make it.I'he blocks are put down, but not fastened until a culler goes over them and picks the gradual replacing of macadam by as- halt wherever practical, are the best measures to take.But all of these are of little avail unless the streets are kept continually moist and cleaned.In the hot weather the baciili lie on the ground, and as they are not heavy enough to remain there in the slightest breeze, they are whisked about into the houses and into the lungs of pedestrians whenever the lightest wind blows.If the streets were kept as free from dust as possible i by the laying of asphalt.and watered freely and frequently, the risk from bac- out all that are not up to standard.1 illi would be reduced to a minimum.\u2019 have been a witness to two modes of putting.down blocks, one in London, a year ago, the other in Craig street, In this city.In the former, old blocks had stood the wear and tear of a london street for 15 years; on our own Uraig: MACKAY INSTITUTION.The Mackay Institution for Protestant Deaf Mutes and the Blind, Notre

construction of our streets too easily put verized, thus causing needless dirt?\u2019 \u2018If stone is \u2018preferred.it would pay us to put in granite from Aberdeen, and have the streets as they are there, perfectly even and without dust, and ail by skilled workmen, but by days\u2019 wages, and not by contract.\u2019 REDUCE THE MACADAM.Mr.L.Laberge, medical officer of health for the cily, is emphatic on the necessity of reducing the vast quantities of dust that float about the city\u2019s streets.\u2018You do not need me to tell you,\u2019 he said this morning to a \u2018Witness\u2019 representative, \u2018that dust i is inimical to the public health.I do not wish to hold Montreal up as a bad example, but it must be evident to any one who comes into the city what our state is here.There is far too much dust, and if the asphalt streets are mended with macadam.as was the case last year, there will be still more dust.This macadam turns to duet very quickly; I think it is nat sufliciently resistant.The dust acts as a vehicle for germs, and thus agma- vates all lung troubles, particularly tu- herrulosis.All measures which have for their object the reduction of the dust in cannot be too highly commended.\u2019 WANTED: MORE ASPHALT AND MORE STREET WATERING.Dr.J.E.Laberge, city bacteriologist, declined to express any opinion on the present state of the city streete, referring his interviewer to the civic roads department.Ha was, however, equally emphatic as to the urgent necessity of careful and continuous street cleaning.\u201cThe most numerous bad] in dust,\u2019 he eaid, \u2018are the cocci bacilli, which cause intestinal diseases.After these come the tuberculosis hacilli, which are the most dangerous.The latter are contain ed in the sputum of

Tequest for an explanation of the garbling reports of departments] officers in the annual bine book fssued by the Interior Department.A charge that such a garb- ng existed was made thiee weeks ago by Mr.Ames, the Conservative member for Centre, Toronto.The Minister of the Interior answered that.if were stricken: out ot dopartmental reports this government Had excellent precedents for so doing.One of these .Oliver mentioned.lt at the outset to the wonderful influx | was the case-of an omission from a re of settlement \u2018into western Canada with- m \u2018recent \u2018years as being due mm the main to the fact that the free land of good quality in the United States has al jbeen taken up; and to the good croops \u2018hat have blesssd our own country of late.Coming to the point of his address, Mr.Borden insisted \u2018that there was imperative need for considerable change in the laws regarding the disposal of Domimon lands in the west.The administration of those lands was controlled by act of parliament, by ocder-in-council, and by the Minister of the Interior, and it was a significant fact that since this government assumed office the whoie tendency of its legislation was to extend the authority of the Minister of the interior until the latter now had power enough to sell, if he wanted, to a syndicate of his party friends all ot the publie domair that remained unsold.Not 80, but he could dispose ur 1: at a price of no more than one dollar an acre.The Minister of the Interior to-day was as much of a despot in his tontroi of the public domain as was Willeen the Conqueror after the Norman Conquest.lt was strange that even with the increasing demand for homesteads .the government gave away 250,000 acres to a company, \u2019 1 \u2018Lhe secrecy maintained in the grant ing of homestead titles, Mr.Horden thought, was a sign of questioriable mebhods.If the department did not cioud ts business in mystery, there would not be such smapicton.Wuy, for instance, could there not be open methods for the disposal of mineral Jansd in the North-West as well as In Nova Scotia.He believed the minis ter gave away too much upon his own authority.He was restricting the powers of parliament and also tne powers ol the Uovernor-in eee\" - LT THE ROYAL WÉDDING The English Princess Who Becomes the Queen of \u201cpain A SKETCH OF HER CHILDHOOD AND EARLY

Henry.her mother, who had speat most of her life among them, who became the Royal PRINCESS ENA IN 1888, WHEN SHE WAS A YEAR COLD.Governor of the laste cf Wizht, and who was married in the little church ac Whippingham, was regarded by the islanders as peculiarly their own prin- | cess, and naturally the children shared in this loyal aud affe:tionate acoption.Princess Ena, the only daughter of their \u2018own Princess\u2019 and Royal Governor, had a special place in the -affeé- tions of the islanders, first for her mother\u2019s sake, but very soon for her own.For as she grew from charming childhood to radiant girthood, the merry, pretty little Royal lady won the heart of every islander with whom she came in contact.The life led by her and her brothers at Osborne, or Curing spring or autumn visits to Balmoral, with a day or two at Buckingham Palace, or a few wecks in the South of France, or PRINCESS \u2018BNA, IN 1883.AGED IiX.| in Italy, was quiet and simple in the extreme.The

played by all classes ot society during Mr.Davitt\u2019s illness.To-day the hospital was besieged by anxious cnquirers.Mr.John E.Redmond, leader of the Irish party in parliament, was a frequent ! enquirer by tel sphone from the House | of Commons, and gave up his proposed holidays in consequence of the condition of his friend, the father of the Irish Land League.After a rally last night Mr.Davitt was able to speak to those at his bedside, but soon showed that he was losing ground.; Among the callers at the hospital tonight was Lord Hemphill, on behalf of the Earl of Aberdeen.Lord-Lieutenant «à Ireland, and the Countess of Aberdeen.Mr.Davitt retired from the representation of South Mayo in parliament in 1899, but to the last took a keen interest in the politics of his country.Death was due to blood poisoning, which followed two opérations for necrosis of the jawbone, and spread so rapidly that\u201call efforts to stay its course were unavailing.Mr.Davitt's illness began with an insidious attack of toothache, to which he paid no attention until Mr.John Dillon urged him to have recourse to medical advice.For some time there were hopes of his recovery, but the state of his health, which was undermined by exertions at the recent general elections, greatly hindered his progress.For many years past the late Michael Davitt has been one of the stormy petrels of British politics, a leader of the more strenuous wing of the Irish Nationalists.During his sixty years he saw more of the ups andl downs of fe than is allotted to many.losing his right arm in a cotton mill when ten years old, he subsequently worked his way from printer's devil to successful journalist and author, from convict to member of the Imperial Parliament, from a member of the earl T'enian Brotherhood to a recognized political leader, an accomplished traveller, lecturer.and student of letters and art.From his earliest youth he was a staunch supporter of the Irish cause, and one of {those who advocated home rule hy force or any other method to accomplish the desired end if it could not be attained constitutionally.While a wonderfully able man, he probably at times hindered the success of his life work by the extreme violence of his views, especially when, along with several other Irish Nationalists, he ardently espoused the Beer cause during the recent war.Michael Davitt was of Irish-American parentage, though born in Ireland.His father, Martin Davitt, was a County Mayo man, who settled in Pennsylvania.and returned to Ireland, where Miclael was born in 1846.Martin Davitt was evicted during the troubled times of 1852, and moved to England, where in 1855, as a boy of ten Michael started to work in a Tancashire cotton mill, and in the following year his right arm was torn off in the machinery.Subsequently he was the Fenian Brotherhood in 14% and speedily became a leader in that organs zation.fo active did he become that in 1870 he was arrested, charzed with treason-felony.and after a celehraied trial in London was sentenced to hftw- years penal servilude.Seven years laler he was relwused nr ticket-of-leave, and at once ullled Min self with the late Charles Stewart Por nell, with whom he founded the lin Land League in 1879.He attracted :i.attention of the whole country Ly Bile brilkant, but violent, oratory, and +4 arrested in the same year on the charme of making seditious speeches haut =!
