Provision Company, when interviewed yes affernoon Tegarding she, packing house scandals, waid: \u2018The king houses in Canada are small plants compared with the large houses in Chicago, and the management is consequently a more personal one, and more pride is taken in each particular plant to see that it is kept in the best of order and that the goods are prepared in a cleanly manner and of the q .\u2018The Packing house plante in Canada are all of modern construction, having been built within the last few years, and consequently have all modern up- pliances and improvements.\u2019 \u2018Some twenty years ago, and previous, the production of h in Canada was 8 in quantity and the iequirements of the home market were nearly all supplied with importations from the United tates, principally from Chicago ard i tha h th \u2018Si t time, however, with the nelp of the Agricultural departments of the different governments in Canada, farmers have been induced to go into.hogs largely and the trade has increased rapidly, until at present the Cunadian requirements\u2014with the exception of h grades of pork in barrels required for the lumber trade\u2014are nearly all lied by Canadian packers.Runed meats are put up lo a com- siderable \u2018extent by nadian packers.Very little of these is exported to England; as they are required by home con- \u201cThe of vannsd meute cem- ing in from the United States east of innipeg is very little, bu: on account of advantage in freights, a considerable quantity of capned- meats from the United States is imported into the North-West Territories and British Columbia.\u2018The quality of the Canadian bacon is well known on the English market, where it stands the highest.The Canadian canned meats also stand very high in England and are much preferred to the American meats, but on secount of the comparative quantities produced in Cay and with the active local demand for canned meats in the new countries for mining, exploring, fishing, etc.there has been none of any account available for export; but, we .confidently look forward to a large in crease in these lines to the English market, just as soon as our production of raw material increases.\u2018The packers in Canada, we feel as sured, would welcome full inspection of their plants at all times, as the more that is kmown of the Canadian goods and the way they are put up, the more trade will result.; © Mr.William Olark, whose packing house is on Amherst street, was of opinion that the from Chica, are a little exaggerated, and he thought that it might be advisable for the public to wait later developments before they altogether condemn the packers irom acroës the line.; \u2018I have been in the meat canning busi- nees for a number of years,\u2019 continued Mr.Clark, \u2018and I bave never heard one word of complaint regarding tbe methods adopted in curing and canning our meats.y packing house is n at all times to the inspectors, and welcome them whenever they see fit to pay my establishment a visit.\u2018I understand what it means to have a business of this kind conducted in an up-to-date manner, and [ have made it my ambition to have my establishment at a standard that can bear public inspection at any hour.My employees understand their work and I see to it that they carry dut their instructions.\u2018As to.the inspection of cattle end carried out, and I would have two Inspections made on each animal, before and after it is killed.If this were done it would soon discourage the traffic in poor und possibly diseased stock.\u2018I hope the city will not neglect to do its duty in the matter of proper inspec tion, not only of the cattle, but the packing houses as well as the butcher shops, and when this is done then all possible danger will be passed.\u2019 Mathewson Sons, wholesale grocers, McGill street, are watching the progress of the Chicago packing house exposures as they are of the opinion that it will prove & good thing for Canada, as it will teach Canadians to be more jealous of their own ucts and not look continually to Arcericans to supply our country with inferior articles at a much higher price than paid in Canada for ds.) ; eaid a member of the firm, \u2018principally in Canadian canned meats, and we do not stand to lose anything from the Chicago situation.A member of the wholesale house of Lockerby Brothers McGill street, said that very little icago canned meats were handled by the firm as during the past two yeurs there had been but little demand for those goods.He was pleased to note that Canadian canned meats were selling quite freely, and that there was a disposition on the part of Canadians to support home industries.Mr.W.H.D.Miller, manager for Messrs.Davies Limited, said that he was not surprised: to learn of the exposures being made in connection with the Chicago packing houses.i \u201cWe certainly welcome an inspection of our factories at any time,\u2019 he proceeded, \u2018and we consider that our buildings are the most modern and sanitary in the country.We are in the meat business to do what is right, and we invite our customers to investigate cur methods and plant.* Mr.S.J.Carter, of the Messrs.Carter & Company.wholesale grocers, St.Peter street, said: \u2018I think that the investigation into the condition of the Chicago packing houses will tal to the sale of United States canned aie ede is lt 2 Tr the | rove detrimen- | affected through cure; 60 cents Up to the last few | Co.Toronto, / THE - MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS \u2019 BR a a ae a ai Te See ve fat VE : , Sn.IOS re Joars a large trade has been done in ontreal with meat products from across the border, but now our own industries have captured to a large.extent this trade.There seems to have been an impression that the best trade must continue to be supplied by the United States packers, and consequently there has until now been a demaud for American meats.If the Canadian packers wish to capture our markets it will be necessary to satisfy the public.that this Process of dealing with meats as report ed from across the border does not exist in .Mr.L.E.Geoffrion, of the wholesale firm of Messrs.L.Chaput, Fiis & Cie, was of the opinion that the Chicago exposures would materially assist in.in- ereasing the sale of Canadian cenned meats.His company, he said, was not likely to lose should the demand- for United States meats decrease in Canada, as the firm has only a small supply on hand.Mr.Geoffrion was in favor of having a thorough inspection made of all abattoirs and packing factories, and he expressed the hope that tha trouble across the line will prove heneficial to Capadian packers.\u2018The meats zanned in Canada,\u2019 said Mr.Geoffrion, \u2018are certainly of a good quality._ The demand for the domestic product is increasing and in many instances our own canned meats have already replaced American goods.\u2019 THE PICNIC SEASON Arrangements Made for a Day | in the Country SUNDAY-SCHOOLS HAVE BOOKED EVERY SATURDAY THIS MONTH.The picnic department of the railway | and steamship companies will be kept busy for the next few weeks taking care of the numerous excursions of societies, companies, clubs, June always heralds.Every Saturday many a train-load of happy excursionists will be pulling out and leaving dust$, hot Montreal far behind, for a day at least.Moonlight excursions down the | river are as popular as in past years.| The employees of many factories and offices are looking forward to their annua} picnic with an enthusiasm only excelled

of mind and body and slowly but surely lead to the ruination of the health., This is true of itching and protruding as well as of bleeding piles, which, because of the loss of blood, are more rapid in their disastrous effects.Dr.Chase\u2019s Ointment brings almost instant relief from the itching, burning, stinging sensations of piles and is a positive and thorough cure for every form of this wretched, torturin and oftentimes stubborn disease.This has been proven in so many thousands.of cages that there is no longer any room for doubt that Dr.Chase\u2019s Ointinént is the most satisfactory treatment for piles that was ever discovered.Frequently when doctors have failed to cure piles and the surgeon\u2019s knife has proven futile, Dr.Chase's Ointment has a box.D and Sunday-schools |

Drago Doctrine THE LATTER HOLDS THAT PUBLIC DEBTS CANNOT BE COLLECTED BY FORCE BY ONE POWER FROM ANOTHER.Washington, June 6.\u2014Argenting is not pleased with the programme agreed upon for the third Pan-American Congress to be held in Rio Janeiro in July.Al though Argentina is more dissatisfied than any ofher South or Central American power, there are several republics which are far from pleased with the programme and sympathize with the slight which Argentina feels.The Drago doctrine is the cause of Argentina\u2019s grievance.It was the desire of Mr.Portel, the Argentina minister, that the Drago doctrine should be one of the subjects considered at the coming congress.This doctrine, which was promulgated by the celebrated Argentine jurist, L.F.Drago, at the time of the Venezuelan blockade by Germany, Great Britain and Italy, holds that force can- \u2018not be used by one power to collect | money owed to its citizens by another power.After much discussion, the committee on programme for the congress prepared the following section relating to the general subject covered by the Drago doctrine: \u2014 at all dealers, or Edmanson, Bates 5) \u2018A resolution recommending that the second peace conference with The Hague be requested to consider the extent to which the use of force for the collection of public debt is admissible.\u2019 is statement\u2019 of the subject was very distasteful to Argenyna and several other powers.It practically admitted that force is justifiable in some cases, and provoked a great deal of comment.The result was the restatement of the subject in the following compromise terms: \u2018A resolution recommending that the second peace conference at The Hague be requested to consider whether, and if at all to what extent, the use of force for the collection of public debts is admissable.\u2019 \u201c This statement does not grant that the use of force is ever justified, but is not a clear statement of the subject covered | by the Drago doctrine, in the opinion of a number of the countries which are to participate in the congress.Mr.Drago, who was named by Argentina as one of its delegates to the Rio Janeiro Congress, is reported to have announced that he does not care to attend and participate in the discussion of the programme agreed upon, Several other sections of the programme are also unsatisfactory to a number of powers.\u2014 EX-ALD.WARD'S ELECTION.The case of the contested election of Ald.Ward, in which ttiere still remains a question of costs, came up before Mr.Justice Taschereau in the Practice Court yesterday, when the petitioner, P.T.Beauchamp, \u2018was called for examination on discovery as to Lis status and qualification to contest the election.: \"DEATH OF MR.RAMSAY.The death ocrured at

bonds (which rere resent the actual capital invested) and loans, it had $1,278,488 left, which amounts to about seven and a half percent on its seventeen million dollars of stock, which is all water.That easily gives the principal reason why we are paying through the nose for our gas, electric lighting and power.The Royal Electric and the Lachine Hydraulic companies furnished electricity fifty percent cheaper than the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company does, although the Lachine company paid its stockholders eight percent, while the Light, Heat and Power combination only pays four percent.The combination paid double the value of the Lachine property in order to secure the right to charge what prices it pleased, and it is strange that the community, knowing this, does not rise up and insist upon its representatives in the City Council putting an end to the monopoly at the earliest possible moment.As a matter of fact, the people of Montreal are paying a little knot of speculators something like a2 million dollars yearly of their hard-earned money, for interest on watered stock and excessive capitalization, in the shape of excessive gas and electric light charges.Are we as a city so supine, so spiritless, as to put up with this condition of ex.tartion and slavery much longer?Shall we permit our aldermen to continue to go cap.in hand to the extortioners with a view to perpetuating their monopoly?Are we to be content forever to get all the kicks while the trust gets all the halfpence?torre Mr.James J.Hill finds the prairies the great place for railways.In these days the grade is everything\u2014low grade reilways and high grade people.Low grades add enormously to the wealth of & country as compared with high ones, adding as they do to the value of every product, and are a great source of the abounding wealth of the prairies.Only low grade railways can give value to law grade ore, and other heavy products.His prescription for eastern Canada is the French River canal.That will make Montreal into Buffalo and New York in ond, eliminating the distance between.Montreal will be as near Chicago as Buffalo, and much nearer Liverpool than New York.But if Montreal is to be anywhere on the ocean, she must Lave a thirty-five foot channel.Without that she will soon be nowhere.Many an old harbor has ceased to be a seaport at all through the increase in the size of sea craft; and Montreal will soon cease to be upless she has a thirty-five foot channel.The opening of the French River canal would make this river bottom canal a necessity.Such, in brief, is what a certain clear seeing man, looking at things from far enough off to see them whole, is trying to tell us.PICTURE POST CARDS.We have no intention of commenting on the case heard in the Court of King\u2019s Bench yesterday, so far as the proceedings in that court are concerned.J.H.Superior has been found guilty of selling indecent picture post cards, but has not been sentenced.It is permissible, however, to remark upon the fact asserted by both parties, which was that if Superior had chosen, as he says others had chosen, to pay a fine to the cuetoms, this prosecution would never bave been heard of.This is not the first time that the customs bas been accused of preferring cash to justice.In a former government, political pull was used more than once to get off on a cash basis those who had cheated the customs and eworn falsely.We deprecated such immoral preferences at the time with all our strength, as we deprecate the action of the customs in these cases.If a man is charged with smuggling goods he ought to be prosecuted before a public court, and have a chance of defending himeelf, which he has not under the des potic star-chamber system.The pres ent case extends this system of private fining to a totally different crime, that of selling indecent pictures.If a man sells goods that are prohibited in this country, and those goods are of the character as found in the Superior case, it is immoral in the extreme that he should be able to secure privacy by paying a fine to the customs.To make I such a dicker is surely only a form of : compounding a felony.fact, the defendant was advised by his\" As a matter of counsel when the action was first taken to pay the fine, as being the most busi- pess-like proceeding.The man says he \u2018objected \u2018on principle,\u2019 and preferred to carry the case through the courts.\u2018Very \u2018 well,\u201d replied the advocate, \u2018in any \u201c event you would have to pay my fees, \u2018 which, at the lowest, would be a bun- \u2018dred dollars.\u201d Not being able to afford to spend that amount of money, the defendant avers that be resolved to fight the case alone.As it happens, in the circumstances, he was not illogical in his contention to the jury that by se doing he was in a certain degree fulfilling a public duty; as, if this case had not been brought to trial, tradesmen might have gone on paying custows\u2019 fines and selling indecent piclures.Another matter was introduced into the proceedings yesterday by the Rev, Arthur French, who told the judge ot an instance which had come under his personal obeervation of the mischievous influence of a certain cimes of picture post-card, which is exhibited in «some ot the city store windows.A few days ago, à young man of very respectable appearance pointed @ young guwl to a card in a store window.\"The look on the young mans face when he sw the clergyman had observed bis action was one of conscious guilt, and a'though the card pointed to was.mot enything like those condemned by jury yesterday, Mr.French said it was sufli- ciently bad to be deadly to the relations between that young man end that young girl.Some months ago, Mr.Campeau, the ahief of police, sent a capable offieer on a special tour of inspection, and as a result of his warnings in a number of instances, questionable cards Were removed from the windows of certain stores.It is hardly to be hoped that they were destroyed altogether.Where the purpose of pictures offered for sale is frankly of obscene intent, further action than that would seem to be necessary.CANADIAN LIFE INSURANCE.The most recent happening in Canadian insurance is the absorption of the Toronto Life by the Union Life, with headquarters in Toronto.The Toronto Life, it will be remembered.was established as an adjunct to the York County Loan: and Savings Society, and was, some few months ago, adversely criticized by the \u2018Witness,\u2019 both on account of that connection and because of the agents of the company doing business in other provinces than Ontario, although it did not have a Dominioa \u20187i- cense or charter or inspection.The dis- Tm 2 Te Lh THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS appearance of this cempany is not a cause for regret, although it is, perhaps, unfortunate that it was not taken over by a company of greater fnagcial strength than the Union Life.The latter company makes a specialty of indus trial insurance, and bas shown commendable energy in the development of its business, but the evidence produced before the commission recently has made it clear that, like the Toronto Life, it has not yet surmounted the ailments and perils of infancy.The severe struggle these young companies have for existence can be fully appreciated by the fact that there are now twenty-two Canadian Life companies licensed in the Dominion, and, of these, eight admit that their capital is impaired, and three others have surpluses of only trifling amoun\u2018s.This means that eleven, at least, of our Canadian companies, or fifty percent of the total, are yet in the experimental stage.In spite of this, other companiæ are about to enter the field.and there are signs that still others are in col- templation all over the country.\u2019 If the number of Canadian companise bore the same ratio to population as fn Great Britain, there would only be tén- in this country; while, if the ratio prevailing in the United States obtained, there would only be seven Canaditm companies.That is to say.there ape already twice as many life companies in Canada proportionately as there apd in Great Britain, and three times as many as in the United States.When it is understood that about thirty- seven percent of the life insuranee in effect in Canada is in United States and British offices, and that Canadian companies must content themselves with sixty-three percent of the total business, the prospect is further darkened.The temptation to start new life ineura companies is obvious in the splendi success of the older companies, and pre- moters appear to have little difficulty in persuading the public to take up the stock.A letter from Mr.Fitzgerald, the Superintendent of Insurance, whick was read before the Commission, express: ed the fear that in time there would: certainly be a orop of failures among the new concerns, and he would rather thes did not occur during his tenure of office Ii his fear is well founded, there wouk seem to be call for the most rigid ach rial precaution if the proud boast tk no poliey-holder has ever lost money bg: the failure of a Canadian life company i to be maintained.The tendency of an form of business into few hands is a ways to be deprecated, and new compet tors for the peoples protection should: be welcomed if these can come into exis\u2019 tence with full assurance of safety, buf Mr.Fitzgerald's warning calls for the most careful consideration of the Royal Commission, ; In the meantime, Canadian life ineurr ance business continues fo flourish, : the benefit alike of the policy-holders, their beneficiaries, and the public.Ae- cording to the \u2018Insurance Press\u2019 the enormous total of $17,408,178 was distributed among Canadian life insurance pal- icyholders in 1905, of which $2,200,023 was distributed in Montreal; in Toronto, $1,- 450,610; Ottawa, $095,519; Quebec, $403, 788; St.John, N.B., $408,971; Hamilton, £203,866; Halifax, $201,245, and London, - $100,287.The total for Canada is about three dollara a head for every individual, and about fifteen dollars for every family.The great concern the question of life insurance is to the millions who depend upon its ekilful management, is shown by the estimates of the amounts of insurance in force in cities which are the largest customers of insurance come panies and associations.Montreal comes fourteenth in the list of cities on the North American continent, with insurance in force ameunting to $216,300, 000; Toronto\u2019s position is twenty-first, with $139,200,000; Ottawa takes thirty- eighth place, with $64,800,000; St.John, N.B., forty-fifth, with $46,000,000, and Quebec forty-eighth, with $45,400,000.Montreal, therefore, is interested in life insurance to the extent of about seven hundred dollars for every man, woman and child, and may be described as comparatively a very well insured city, MAJOR TEMPLETON DEAD CRIMEAN VETERAN PASSES AWAY AT CHATHAM, NB.Chatham, N.B., June 5.\u2014The death of Major Templeton occurisd at his home yesterday afternoon after an ill | ness some months.Major Alexander Stothart Templeton, son of the late William Templeton, was born at Edinburgh, Scotland, about sev- enty-six years ago.As a member of the 40th Regiment of the British Army he was with Lord Raglan at the Battle of Alma, 1854, when the allies, comprising British, French and Turkish soldiers, administered a crushing defeat to the Russians.He also was engaged at the Battle of Inkerman, when the Rues ginns attacked the Britiah camp.In ome of the many desperate skirmishes during that war, Major Temple- ton received a bullet wound in the forehead which was feared would prove fatal, but a surgeon exiracted the shattered bone and inserted a silver plate, and / -take up his residence in the major recovered, the ently leaving no ill effects.e close of the Crimean war he was given a medal by the Sultan of Turkey, and.later he received long-service and -conduct medals from the British ernment, and one from the Ca- padian Government for good work in the Canadian mjlitia.He also five years in the West Indies.About the time of the Civil War Maor Templeton was sent to New Brunswick by the British Government to drill the militia and during the Fenian raid took a prominent part in the defence of the Dominion, After [many years of active service Le settled in.Chatham, where he was for M years superintendent of the North- umberland County almshouse.The deceased was married twice and leaves a widow, a son, who ljves in Bos- toh, and a daughter in New York, and a brother, Private John Templeton, who served twenty-one years in the British army, part of that time being spent in MONTREAL CONFERENCE.Report of the Temperance and Moral Reform Committee.RECOMMENDATION THAT EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS BE THE MINIMUM SALARY OF A MARRIED MINISTER.Smith\u2019s Falls, Ont., June 6.\u2014The Te- port of the Temperance and Moral He- rm Comm was yester resented by the Rev.Mr.Raney, as secretary to the Montreal Methodist Conference.The evidences of moral elevation in the life of this country the passing of im- jueved legislation, and an increase in public activity in the eaume were noted.The temperance crusade inaugurated by His Grace Archbishop Bruchesi and the of various temperance societies were favorably referred to.The reduc- fon of the number of liquor licenses in the city of Quebec by filty and the fact that there are gix hundred municipalities in the Province of apy liquor licenses provoked much en- m.The work of the Dominion \\ was highly epoken of; the services the Rev.G.G.Huxtable and ihe Ror.Dr.Chown were specially com- 'The-report expressed the view that it was by ro means essential to the per- ance and effici of a wise aud well enforced liquor law that it should be carried by a three-fifths majority shot appar- uebec without vate.| The report continued: Among other | evidences of reform, which come more directly .under our cognizance are to be | pbted certain amendments to the crîfn- ihal code designed to further curtail the evils of gambling and betting in all parts of the country.In this connec- | tibn we would petition our parliament and: provincial legislatu: further legielation as will effectively prohibit these vices.Believing, as we do, that some of our newspapers which pub- fish ~ Betting intelligence are guilty of aiding ¥nd abetting these vices and thus are guilty of contravening the principle of the law we would most earnestly call vipon the publishers of these papers to consider the grave responsibility involv- \u2018ed in lending their Influence to perpetuate {hese frauds, and we strong} urge parliament to make such amendments io the code as will make il a criminal offence for anv newspaper or other advertising medium to publish betting news.A memorial by the Rev.Mr, Salton suggested that the secretary for temperance and moral reform be invited to Ottawa.This was concurred in, except aa to which connexional officer should live in Ottawa.Some thought the general superintendent live there.This point was left for the General Conference to decide.A recommendation that the minimum pestoral salary for a married man be $800 and that single men get $100 more than the present standard, wae approved.Formal permission was granted the trustees of Fairmount Avenue Church, Montreal, to sell their church building, the, proceeds to be applied to the construction of a new church.General Conference committees were elected last evening, and at the close of the session the usual votes of thanks were tendered the citizens who had entertained the delegates; the pastor for his arrangements for everybody's comfort; the officials for the use of the church; the choir for its splendid music, and the press for full and fair reports of the pioceedings.Many of the delegates, both lay and clerical, left for home yesterday.The stationing committee sat till a very late hour last night.HAMILTON CONFERENCE.Niagara Falls, Ont., June 7.\u2014The Ham- ilten Methodist Conference was unanimous in its disapproval of the recent amendments to the law regarding local option votes in municipalities, and one of the chief features of a long resolution on the liquor question was the clause condemning the changes.The resolution was a lengthy one, and dealth with every side of the matter in the usual way.The Conference declined to endorse a petition to the General Conference to abolish the law requiring young ministers and probationers to marry.The memorials to permit laymen to administer the sacrament in isolated districts, to have uniformity of ministerial gupport, to abolish celibacy of candidates for the ministry, and to reduce General Conference representation, were thrown out.The committee recommended that the district meeting be not held later than the third week in May, to give statistical secretaries more time to prepare schedules.The last draft of stations did not bring any surprises, no changes being made in the more important charges.The Rev.R.J.Elliott, president, goes to Waterloo, and the secretary, the Rev.A.Jackson, returns to Paris.AD ACT RE SN ERR Ee res to enact gueh.CONGREGATIONAL UNION Much Enthusiasm Manifested Over the - Jubilee Fund by Which the Churches Have Been Freed From Debt THE REV.J.B.SILCOX SAYS THE CHURCH TO-DAY HAD A CLEARER GRASP OF CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE THAN THE CHURCH OF THE PAST.-\u2014 Embro, Ont., June 7.\u2014The Union of Congregational Churches of Ontario and ue opened its annual meeting In Embro yesterday.The Rev.f.B.Sil- cox, of Bond Street Congregational Church, Toronto, chairman of the union, conducted the opening exercises, after woich the committees were appointed.A report was presented by the com- niittee appointed last year to make a recommendation for a plan for a reading course for those who wish to work in the ministry, yet have not had a college course.Several courses of ing are now offered through.the college in Montreal.These courses de not lead to a degree, but a certificate of all work done will be given by the professor of the department in which the work is one.The report ef the jubilee fund eommit- tee was received with enthusiasm, as it revealed marvellons success in the work of freeing the churches of debt.Including the Old Country gift, $202,600.34 has been raised by this movement.The giving averages eighteen dollars per member in all the Congregational churches in Canada.Reference was made to the work of the Revs, W.T.Gunn, J.W.Pedley, Hugh Pedley and J.K.Unsworth, ; At the Home Missionary Bociety meeting Mr.Charles Cushing, Montreal, in the chair, the secretary's (Mr.Me Intosh\u2019s report of the church was presented, and showed an increase in mers- bership and a spirit of hope.He lamented the scarcity of mer for the ministry.A strong feeling was expressed that the home missionary funds should be divided into distinctively agyreasive home missionary work and an augmentation for.weak churches.The Rev.J.B.Silcox delivered the chairman's address, takin mas his subject, Revival of religion.\u2019 The compara- Lively few additions to the church, he eaid, the failure of the church to reach the masses, and the widespread graft was evidence of a need of a revival in al phases of religion.The moral life of the nation began at the church, apd & revival of relizion in the chufch meant a revival of righteousness in the nation.The Church to-day is

insurance enquiry this morning.He testified as to the financial causes which led up to the company changing the basis of the reserves from four and a half percent to three and a half percent in 1901.The chief reason given was that the rate of interest had been continually and rapidly falling for the ten years previous to 1901.À statement \u2018was produced which showed that the rate of interest on investments had inllen from 6.22 percent in 1882 to 4.65 percent in 1898, or a drop of two points.Other reasons given for the change was that large profits bad been paid to policy-bolders, and a system of pot cies with very low premiums had n carried on.In 1903, the basis in reference to which the polioy-holders\u2019 premiums were fixed, was changed to three and one half percent.But premiums on policies were still allowed on a three percent bans, but with lesser privileges.Mr, Shepley, K.C., government counsel, asked the witness if this change in the reserve basis would have been made if no legislation had been passed by the government.Mr.Sanderson declared that fhe strengthening was carried on altogether apart from legislation.The company had begun to change the basis ten years before the legislation was passed.Mr.Shepley stated that the legislation allowed the insurance cornpanies some fifteen years in which to make the change.He asked if it would not have been better for the Canada Life to have spread the reduction over these fifteen years.Witness did not agree with Mr.Shepley and stated that this method would have resulted in less profits for the policyholders.Mr.Sanderson sa\u2019d that the policyholders as a whole had approved of the course of the Canada Life.Mr.Shep- ley stated that those he had met had been the other way.Naturally, of course, you would meet the other elass, answered the witness.Sanderson called the statement that thy :tandard : cf reserves of English romparies- is weak- ! er than Canadian or American panies an absolute fallacy.AFTERNOON SESSION.Mr.Shepley devoted nearly all of the afternoon sitting to an examination of Mr.Frank Sanderson, actuary of the Canada Life Company, in regard to the profits and losses of the company sus tained through its investments during the past fifteen years.Mr.Shepley, K.C.government, coun- gel, went over the profit and loss account for 1805.The cost of the business during the year was shown to be $545,432.Medical examination expenses com- \u2014 Trvrsnay, Juxs 7, 1905 and fees were 26,000.The figure | In connection with the ne: +, -: death losees for the new

Service of Ste.Cune- gonde and St.Henri REPORT FROM THE CITY ATTORNEYS AS TO LIABILITY OF COMPANY REGARDING PIPES.The Fire and Light Committee met yesterday morning for the transaction of business.The meeting had been called in the ordinary way for three o'clock in the afternoon, but as the chairman, Ald.Yates, desired to go into the country, he held the meeting at ten o'clock in the morning instead, without giving any notice of the change in the time either through the ordinary medium of the civic committee book or *o the press.The civic law department forwarded the following report with reference to the existing contracts between Ste.Cune- onde and St.Henri wards and the ontreal Water & Power Company, regarding hydrants and water main pipes: e bave examined the by-laws Based on contracts entered into between the city of Ste.Cunegomde and the city of St.Henri and the Montreal Water & \u2018Power Company, und 'wie report as follows: n In Le.egonde.\u2014In referring to bylaw No.53, seetion 9, based on notarial lease between Ste.Cunegonde and the Montreal Water & Power pany, by which the city of Ste.Cunegonde leases to the said company for a term of twenty-five years, beginning Sept.1, 1891, the water eystem belonging to it we discover that the company is bound to a sufficient supply of water for hydrants erected and to be erected within the limite of the municipality, and also to maintain at their own expense, within the total area of the water pipe system of the city, hydrants with double\u2019 heads, under the direction of the said city authorities and without any (hose dant provided.supp.cs n provided, however, that the number of such hydrants not exoeed thirty-five.\u201cMoreover, it is declared in the event of the city Deeding the erection of a certain number of hydrants beyond tated, the shall\u2019 be t so an an ef 850.As to the diameter and length of the water pi no mention whatever is made 0 ese in the by-law.\u2018St.Henri\u2014We

the tid its of that mwmicipality.In reference to section 6 of the said by-law, we find that the company is bound to place and maintain at its own expense over the whole area of the water system already established when the by-law was aed and also over all extensions, water pipes and hydrants with double beads, at every 500 feet of main, without any compensation or charge for the water.sup- lied in such a manner for the\u2019 said ydrants.Section 6 of the by-law pos senses considerable ambiguity, hut the former officials of St.Henri baying been consulted on the menner in whi they used to interpret that section, we are of the opinion that the interpretation of this clause is that which we have given above.In the whole by-law no mention whatever is made of the diameter of the water ppipes It simply says [that {hey must of the quality of cast iron.(Signed), i.7.ETHIER, | \u2018For the city attornevs.The committee decided to ask the civic law department to give a further opin- jon ag to what diameter the pipes must have to enable a sufficient service to pe iven under the contract, because the Eraw does not make any mention of this.In view of the fact that there has been considerable misunderstanding in the past as to the length for which fire men are engaged by the city, and several firemen who have been dismissed have claimed a year\u2019s wages, under the impression that they had been engaged for that period and were entitled to the notice which such an engagement would involve, the chief of the Fire Brigade.Mr.Benoit, had prepared \u2018the following form of agreement to be signed by every fireman hereafter engaged by the city:\u2014 \u2018I hereby consent to engage myself, as fireman, to the city of Montreal, at a salary of per fifteen

Railway Committee a motion proposed by Mr.Dubeau, of Joliette, was carried to strike out the clause in the G.T.P.Branch Lines Bill that authorized the construction of a branch from the G.T.P.to Montreal, or to a point on the Montreal & Western Railway.Instead of this line Mr.Dubeau secured the insertion of a clause providing for a line from Montreal via Joliette añd the l\u2019Assomption River to a junction with the G.T.P.pear Wamanpitae or Ribo rivers.This proposition was strongly opposed by the G.T.P.on the ground that the route proposed by Mr.Dubeau involved engineering

when | got this resolution to-day\u201d tery sidered that the knife used could\u201d made to cut both ways.1 told My\" Ferns 1 was speeking for the ine ind Standard companies, atid remard hat the city was ordeting us to Tem wires from the aquedugt bank, that I thought if that were\u2018the case it would be just as well for the ce to remove its wires from -our poles., & all comes to this, that -people.in.glaes houses should not throw stones.\u2019 « © \u2018Mr.Walbank finally admitted: that he had not decided to proceed with the matter, the further action of tHe company being dependent oni that of the city.lt was not the intention of the company to cripple the vic fine alarm eervice, but merely to.show what would be the position oË affairs it the company were to enforce its rights, .: WHAT MR.FERNS 15 HAS TO SAY.Mr.Ferne, superintendent of \u2018fire alarms, seen this morning a \u2018Witness\u2019 representative, denied that Mr: Walbank, in his telephone message yes: terday, had made any mention of the wires of the Standard and Lachine companies in particular.He understood from Mr.\\Valbank that the Montreä Light, Heat and lower Company demanded that the wires of the civic tre alarm service on all their poles should i be taken down by to-night.\u2018Lhat was an utter impossibility; it would take at least one month to remove all the wipes.| \u201cWe are at present using 1,037 poles belonging to the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company for our fire alarm | telegraph wires,\u201d he gaid, \u2018but only 150 of those poles are the poles of the La- chine and Standard companies.\u2018I'he majority of these are on the central portion of Craig street.1 am not go ing to take any further matter until | receive some notice \u2018in | writing.\u2018Now that Mr.Walbank \u2018states that he referred only to the Standard\u2018 and Lachine companies, to remove the wires of the civic fire alarm service cn the poles belonging to those companies would not inconvenience the city to any great extent.If, however, all the wires of our service now on -the poles belonai to the Montreal Light, Heat & Proves Company were to be removed, the \u2018fire alarm service would be positively crippled.THE COUNCIL'S RESOLUTION, The letter received by Mr.- Walbank yesterday, and which influenced him to telephone to Mr.Ferns, contained a copy of a resolution of the City oun- cil, endorsing and giving effect to a report from the Water Committee, in the following terms: \u2014 \u2018In view of the proposed enlargemsnt.of the aqueduct, the committee report to council asking that the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Company be notified to remove their poles erected cn the bank of the aqueduszt.\u2019 } Permission was given !» the company to place these poles on the bank of the.aqueduct by a notarial contract dated October 2, 1899, embodying the provi- gions of a report from the Water Committee to the City Council, dated Aug.14, of the same year, and providing that the said permission might be withdrawn at any time by giving the company six) PRE MONTREAL would probably have} action in the | SO - LAN months\u2019 \u2018notice, the company in the meantime to be held nsible slone for all accidents arising from the pre- sence-df \u2018their poles and wires along: the aqueduct bank, and.that the position of all the poles should be indicated by the superintendent of the civic waterworks.ere has been: no complaint on the part of the city that the company had violated.any of the conditions of the notarial contract, or that the presence of the poles along the bank cause any inconvenience.] , t Water Committee for demanding \u2018he enlargement of the city aqueduct, which necessitates, in the opinion of the Water tment, the clearing of the Jand on which the poles at present stand.The letter sent to the Montreal Light, | Heat & Power Company Jesterday simp- |ly contained a copy of the council's re- leolution regarding the matter, and no mention was made of six months\u2019 notice.The civic law department was coneult- \u2018ed yesterday afternoon, after Mr.Wal!- | bank\u2019s message bad been received.In the event of the Montreal Tight, leat \u2018& Power Company proceeding with their implied intention of forcing the city to remove the wires, which tkey have a right to do, as the wires ere only there \u2018by oourtesy of the company's management, the city would immediately make application to the courts for an injune- \u2018tion.to restrain the company from pus ting sych resolutin into effect.MONTREAL CONFERENCE MEETINGS AT SMITHS FALUS CAME TO AN END TO-DAY, (See Also Pages 1 and 6.)
