RESOLVED TO BREAK WITH THE GOVERNMENT WITHIN A FEW DAYS St.Petersburg, June 16.\u2014The Constitutional Democrats seem almost ready to throw in their lot with the revolutionists.The popular agitation is so great that at a caucus lasting three wornings the question of changing the varty's tactics and abandonmg any further attempt to postpone an open rupture with the government was seriously debated.MM.Reditcheff and Nabou- kotf, leaders of the Constitutional Democrats in the Lower House, led the Radical wing, urging the absolute necessity of keeping pace with the revolutionist movement, and insisting that, unless they moved forward to battle immediately, they would be overwhelmed and left stranded.Prof.Milukoff, M.Vinaver and others counselled caution, saying it was not yet time to bend to the storm, but the Radicals were in the majority.The 'Novoe Vremya,\u2019 to-day, says that the Constitutional Democrats have actually resolved to break with the government within a few days, but M.Struve.editor of the \u2018Osvobojdenic,\u2019 informed the Associated Press that no decision had been taken, He admitted.however, that the leaders\u2019 plans were secret.Many of the Liberals fear a rupture, and regard the contemplated s'cp as a grave error, claiming that the (Constitutional ats cannot hope to keep step with the Radicals.who, at meetings held in, the suburbe of St.Petersburg last night, not only condemned the Lower House of.Parliament, and characterized the Constitutional Democrats as traitors, but even denounced the Group of Toil.M.Alladin was hissed because he tried to explain the absurdity of the contention that the House must demand that the Emperor summon a constituent assembly.The meeting refused to listen to his statement that the government could not be asked to sign ita own death warrant.Constituent assemblies, he said, were constituted apd not summoned by the government.The orators at the meetings glorified the coming dictatorship of the proletariat and cheered the cries of \u2018Down with the government and the middle claswes.\u2019 The bakeries continue clrsed to-day, the strikers threatening to wreck the shops where attempts were made to bake bread.Little hardebip, however, has thus - far ec Fi - Tow : \u201cclasses were warned and supplied themselves with black bread in advance, The strike of the bakers is to be followed in a few days by a butchers strike.e newe from the interior shows that the wave of strikes is spreading, but it is too early to tell whether this movement, which seems more spontaneous than organized.will precipitate a crisis.New strikes are reported at Yokeratenoslav, at Saratoff, and at the collieries of Bakmuth.The usual number of robberies are reported to-day.emphasizing the growing lawlessness and anarchy in the country.There have been two murderous train robberies in the Caucasus, and three stage coaches were hel up in Poland.A case of arms and five thousand cartridges have been confiscated at Riga, on an incoming steamer.The government seems to fear a repetition of the November mutiny at Cron- stadt fortress, where the sailors and marines and the soldiers and workmen are reported to be extremely turbulent.Two infantry regiments have been has tily dispatched to Cronetadt from Kras- noye Selo, 19 miles south-east of St.Petersburg, and two batteries of artillery of the guard and two machine gun batteries have been sent there from Orenienbaum, 19 miles west of Bt.Pet- ersburg.The streets of Cronstadt are filled with troops, and the well-to-do inhabitants are hurriedly leaving the island on which the town is situated.\u2014 DISOSDERS AT BIALYSTOK \u2014 Outrage was the Provocation Resuit of \u2014-\u2014 THOSE WHO TRIED TO LEAVE THE CITY WERE KILLED IN RAILWAY STATION OR \u2018 THE OPEN FIELDS.St.Petersburg, June 18.\u2014 No fresh news was received here from Bialystok this morning, and none of the newspapers can get a word directly from their correspondents there.The .correspondent of the Associated Press, who should have arrived there from St.Petersburg yesterady morning, has nat been heard from, Nothing has been received here from the parliamentary commission sent to Bialystok to inquire into and report upon the massacre of Jews.dent that the authorities will not allow y despatches to be sent from the ter rorstricken town, which is regarded as ample proof of the horror of the situm- tion.The last telegram known to have been recaved here reached M.Catrogorski, a member of the Lower House of Parliament, from Brocho, yesterday.I was as follows : \u2014 e Jewish outrage at Bialystok was produced by provocation.The police perticipated in it and the troops active- y po the rioters.The mil authorities now have full control.The Governor-General has left the city.Persons who triel to leave Bialymok were killed at the railway station and others who \u201csucceeded in reaching the open fields outside the town were run down by dragoons.There seems to be no hope of stopping the attacks.The number of victims is large.\u201cWhale this appeal for immediate assistance ig being written, we hear about us the sound volleys.\u2019 MORE ANTI- JEWISH RIOTS.Wars, June 18.\u2014The chief of po- | lice of Warsaw to-day issued a proclamation, warning the people against the efforts te.(provoke racial hatred and stating t] every attempt at riot will be mercilessly suppreesed by force of arms.Anti-Jewish riots have broken out at Zobludow and Guinodz, im the province of Grodno, and at Ossowiec, in the province of Lomza.EXPRESS COMPANIES Proposition to Bring Them Under Control of Railway Commission SIR FREDERICK BORDEN ACTS AS CHAIRMAN OF SPECIAL, PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE.Ottawa, June 18.\u2014A special committee of parliament met to-day to cen- sider the propositions of Mr.Alcorn\u2019s bill Lo bring the business of v:} ress com- ponies under the control ani regulations of tue Railway Commassion.Sir Frederick Borden was in the chur and ariong those present were the Lon.Il a.Eu- iverson, F.D.Monk, M.M.and W.F.Maclean, M.P.Counsel were also present to represent Lhe Interesis wlecled.Mr.F.H.Chrysler, K.C., wko ap- upeared on.beholf of tne express ¢dm- panies, contended that the Iam non Parliiment had no anthoti\u2018y wader the British North Ameriva Aci to regulate the rates and the affairs oi express com- punies Because a parlimment had the right to incorporate a company it did not necessarily follow \u2018hat it had the right to regulate them, \u2018oo.[he British North America Act left the control of property and civil rignts to the provinces, and in his judgment a transac- \u2018lon between an express company and \u2018ts customer was a civil right.There fore the regulation of \u2018express companies and business belonged to the provinces.Doubtless when the Domt!nion Parliament was incorporating a company it could impose whatever conditions it desired.but when parliament as One party to a contract had given a charter to an cx- press company it had no mght to subse- yuently impose new conditions.The constitntional Hmitation that Mr.Chrysler argued was a point the commit- \u2018se had not previously considered.Plain- Jv it did not commend itself to the members of the committee: Mr.Chrysler held that an express company was not 8: \u2018undertaking\u2019 under the meaning of the B.N.A.À et.Mr.Monk held that parliament'\u2019s full authority to merce\u2019 gave it the right to regulate express companies.Sir Frederick Borden did not think that, after parliament had accepted the principle of Mr.Alcorn\u2019s bill, this special committee had authority to deal with the question of jurisdiction.Mr.Chrysler luter quoted opinions of the Hon.Charles Fitzpatrick and Mr.R.L.Borden questioning parliaments authority to regulate express rates.After hearing them the committee decided to wait for the opinion of the Minister of Justice on this point, and took up the details of the bill.\u2014- aes ALEXANDRIA HOSPITAL FUND.The secretary of the Alexandra Hospital acknowledges with thanks the following amounts towards the building fund = V.A.Doig.ve

accordance with the appointments made by the recent Conference at Smith's Falls, the Rev.George S.Reynolds, of the West Enl Methodist Church, and the Rev.W.H.Stevens, of the East End Church, leave this week for new fields of labor.The former goes to Ca-le:on Place, and the THE REV.GEO.8.REYNOLDS.latter to Huntingdon circuit, and both will be followzd by the prayers and good wishes of the congregations they are leaving.The Rev.Mr.Reynolds preached a very impressive farewell sermon to a large congregation last might, and a farewell reception will be tendered the pastor and Mrs.Reynolds on Tuesday evenin_ .The Rev.Mr.Reynolds is a native\u2019 of the province of Ontario, and received his early education in Milton Academy.Thence he w.nt to the Cobourg Collegiate Institute, and after matritu- lation, attended Victoria University, which was then in Cobourg.His eany vears in the ministry were spent in the Bay of Quinte Ccnference, A few years ago he came into the Montreal Conference, where he has met with much success.On leaving \u2018Waterloo four years ago to assume the pastorate of the West End Church, a large proportion of the congregation and other riends met Mr.and Mrs.Reynolds at the station to say good-bye, and presented them with a purse of gold.During the present pastorate over a hundred adults and twenty young people have been enrolled in church membership.The entire interior of the church and basement has been repaired and renovated, wo that now the West End Methodists may be congratulated on having one of the most commodious and convenient school rooms in the city.The auditorium also is artistic and cheerful.The parsonage is in firat-claes repair and well furnished.ln spite of many difficulties the finances of this charge have greatly Improved during the tast dour years.As a preacher Mr.Reynolds has al- weys shown remarkable power.At the last meeting of the quarterly board of the church the recording steward expressed the sentiments of ' the members and the congregation when he spoke in the highest terms of Mr.Reynolds's excelent work as a preacher.As a pastor, he has always displayed tact and sympathy, and has endeared himself to \u2018ali the flock, Old and young will feel that they are losing personal friends by the departure of Mr.Reynolds and his estimeble wife.Mr.Reynolds will be succeeded by the Rev.A.A.Radley, who is expected to assume the duties of the pastor ate during the preseat week and occupy the pulpit next Sunday.; The choir sang anthems specially selected for the occasion, closing with * God be with you till we meet again.The (communion of the Lord's Supper was celebrated at the close of the regular service.The Rev.W.H.Stevens Jeaves the East.End Church after a most succees- ful two-year term.He has superintended the building of the new chureh-on Bertrand wtreet and the establishment of the Lagauchætiere street congregation in their new home.By his exceptional abilities as a financier he has raised and providad a large proportion of the cost of the new edifice and leaves it with a very small burden of debt for the congregation Lo .carry, while all departments of church.and Sunday-school work are in a flourish: ing condition.Apart from his abilities as a preacher and administrator, Mr.Stevens has, by sociability and untiring interest in the young people of the East End.dbne much to attract them to the services and duties of the church.Being possessed of considerable musical talent, Mr.and Mrs.Stevens have done much to encourage and improve the musical service of the church.Mrs.Stevens hag been for most of two years the leading contralto in the choir; and duets by the pastor and his wife have been a fre quent and always appreciated attraction both at the regular church services and at sacred concepts.The Rev.Mr.Stevens comes of a family of U.E.Loyalists, his father having been the late Major S.A.Stevens, oi Sherbrooke.e., and the family having been amorg the earliest settlers af Sherbrooke.Born and educated at Sher- THE REV.W.H.STEVENS.brooke, he came to Montreal in 1885, as assistant secretary of the Y.M, C.A, ev.Mr.Howitt, who was

is also secretary of the General Conference Arrangements Committee in this city, and also active in all work looking to the moral and spiritual uplifting of the people.n his farewell sermon last evening the.Rev.W.H.Stevens based his remarks on the incident of \u2018 Jacob's vow and God's promise,\u201d in the memorable vision which the.patriarsh had at Beth- el.\u2018Jacob's life\u2019 he affirmed, \u2018needed the \u2018consolation to be bestowed only by a God of infinite benevolence and per.His was an old world life, but ad in Mt much in common with the human life of the present.The preacher briefly t several events in the Lie of the patriarch with the view of iHustrating two main ideas: \u201cHow Jacob kept his vow,\u201d and \u201cHow God kept his promige\u201d Two or three les

determination to sympathize with the Divine plan and parpese, and that the supreme joys of fe are found in the realization of God in human conscibusness.At the con- olusion of the sermon Mr.Stevens referred to the happy relationships sustained between himself and the various organizations of the church, and feel irgly thanked the congregation for their kindness during the term of his pastorate at the East End Church.\u2026 À social meeting of the congregation will be held this evening, when the an- nial reports of the church will be presented and the members and adherents will have an

Nassau.TWENTY YEARS AGO.Mr.Gladstone started on his Scotch campaign.Thousands of people assembled at the station to see him off, and so great was the throng that his carriage was sgeriously delayed.Addressing the erowd from the car window, he thanked the people for their \u2018extraordinary demonstration,\u201d and adjured them to let nothing hide from them the real question at irsue whether Ireland should be trusted to manage her own affairs.Those who denied this right to Ireland admitted that such rights were enjoyed by Canada and other British colonies.Were they to trust their fellow subjects in Ireland, and govern them by love, or adopt the policy of the Government\u2019s enemies and introduce into Ireland government by force?As the train moved away hundreds ran alongside cheering and waving handkerchiefs and hats until he could no longer zee them.The C.P.R.led the continent in the adoption of \u2018standard time\u2019 and having their clocks read, instead of from 1 to 12 p.m., 18 to 24 o'clock.\u2014\u2014 THROUGH ENGLISH EYES WHAT AN EDITOR FROM THE OLD COUNTRY THINKS OF CANADA.\u2014 Mr.Edward A.Murray, editor and proprietor of the \u2018Birkenhead and Wir- ral Herald,\u201d was a visitor at the \u2018Witness\u2019 office on Saturday.He is paving a flying visit to Canada to see whether hall that he has heard and read about this modern Eden is true or not.He hes read, for months past, all the literature about Canada that he could lay his hands on.He has just finished a koli- day in the Megantic district and already he has reached the conclusion that the half has not been told of the beauties \u2014 not to speak of the practical advantages \u2014 of this land.\u2018I see nothing,\u201d Mr.Murray declared, \u2018to prevent Canada being the greatest country on earth.England may be slow; the United States has been setting too swift a pace.Now, Canada seems to be taking the medium road to unexampled success and greatness.\u2019 On \u2018Saturday night, in company with Mr.Frank H.Connors, he left ior To- \u2018ronto and Niagara on a flying trip.He regrets that he cannot stay long enough to go out west.But he hopes to come again and eee some more wonders, He bas seen only the fringe, but has already been charged by his friends with having the \u2018Canadu-Mania\u2019 He pleads guilty to the impeachment and says he intends to repeat the offence.If the sights of and about &iagara do not render him speechlees, Mr.Murray will, on his return to Montreal this week to take the boat for home, doubtless declare that no one has yet adequately described Canada\u2019s present conditions or foretold its possibilities.\u201c Mr.Murray is not only an editor, but he is a practical printer, having worked through the entire course from \u2018devil\u2019 to proprietor and editor-in-chief.He has visited Australia and other parts of the world.He was greatly interested in watching the linotype machines and presses In the

18, 1906.The citizens of Montreal and their representatives in the city council have an object lesson in the case of Winnipeg, as recently in that of Chicago, of the efficacy of a straight threat of mumi- cipal ownership.At the last mun\u2018cipal election the citizens of Winnipeg author: jzed the council to borrow six hundred thousand dollars wherewith to instal a municipal gas plant, and on the twenty- | eighth of this month the people are to | be asked to sanction the expenditure of three million five hundred thousand dollars for the installation of an electrio plant.The immediate reply to this has been an announcement on the part of the Electric Street Railway of Winnipeg of a cut in its rates for power and lighting, ranging from fifty to seventy-five percent.It is true it makes this reduc tion at a time when it has completed a power plant on the river Winnipeg, but.if we may judge by the Montreal monopoly, and monopolies elsewhere, the fact that a product is produced at a cheaper rate does not of itself induce a monopoly to supply the public at a cheaper rate.Thus we find the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Company, which produess its power about as cheap again as the Royal Electric Company, charging the public double the rates of the Royal when in competition with the Lachine Hydraulic Company.Monopolies extract the last cent from the public.It is time we got rid of ours, or in time it will get rid of us.How are our manufacturers to compete against cheap prices for power in Toronto, Winnipeg and other cities where men are either free or intend soon to become so?They cannot do it, and Montreal is in danger of resembling that London pictured by Macaulay where the New Zealander of the future stands upon London Bridge overlooking a desolation.Mr.Bickerdike, Mr.Gervais and other members of parliament from this district do well to protest against any intention to sidetrack Montreal, if such intent there be nn the part of those who champion the branch Lne from the main Grand Trunk Pacific passing through Joliette before reaching Montreal.Mr.Bickerdike says the effect of that would be that the time for freight trains from the we-t would be six hours less to Quebec than to Montreal.That, of course, would depend on the point at which the Joliette branch struck the main line.Of this, however, we feel assured, that the Grand Trunk Pacific Company is not going to allow its business between the west and Montreal to be rendered abortive by having to carry its freight by an impossible route ae compared with tbat of the Canadian Pacific.The eastern section of that enterprise may be a political undertaking, but the object of the Grand Trunk Pacific is business, and it is not going to be put at a disadvantage in its connections with the principal St.Lawrence port by spiteful or ignorant votes in parliamentary committees.Very little has resulted from the pro- lcnged enquiry into the immigration scheme of Mr.Preston.On the one hand, little or nothing has been proved against Mr.Preston or against the department.On the other hand, little or nothing has been brought out to remove public suspicion from the challenged proceeding, or to renew confidence in the purity of the system.No one is going to condemn Mr.Preston on the evidence offered by Mr.Jury, whose appointment the government possibly now regrets.Nor is any one going to assune on the ipse dixit of Mr.Preston that a proceeding into which the public is not allowed to look, and with which he and his relatives and a former official alone were in touch is all right and that the country got value for what it spent on that occult company.We could not agree with those who demanded the betrayal of the government's secret service agents on the Continent.On the other hand the government finds itself and its agents in a very unenviable position in not being able to show that this money was properly spent or what return ever came from it.The government has admitted through Senator Scott that the secret arrangement was one that could not be defended, It was done without the government\u2019s leave.In making the contract Mr.Preston transcended hie duty, if not his powers.The government, bowever, did not see its way to revoking a confidential contract made in its name until it could show that the conditions bad not been fulfilled.\u2014_ - One of the usual arguments against woman guffrage was brought in question at Northampton when Mr.Asquith was announced to address an audience there.It is commonly urged that politics is too rough and demoralizing a business for women, and that it would be tb the injury of the race for women to be soiled by it.Northampton is notoriously the most rowdy constituency in England, but even there the women seem to be, without having the vote, already quite equal to the masculine roughs as disturbers of the peace.Another common argument against woman suffrage is that the rule of the world should be in the hands of those who can fight.So long as worren cannot fight to defend a country, they are held to be necessarily dependent, and to have no claim to a voice in its councils.But these women not only set themselves to break up the meeting by screams, but when the police attempted to remove them they resisted and fought.A woman indeed fights at a considerable advantage with a man, because he will not hit her back.He has apparently, however, the advantage of being able to carry her out on his shoulder.These women may be denounced for using violent measures in the promotion of their cause; their answer to that would probably be that, so long as they have no votes, violence is the only method the constitution leaves open to them.Whether it is an effective method or not is another question, Whether those women were Christians or followers of Bradlaugh and Mrs.Besant does not appear.Northampton was the great centre of Bradlaugh- Besantism.The whole proceeding was extremely painful to all law-abiding, fair play people, whatever their views on the suffrage question, and, being entirely unreasonable, did not place that cause in a more attractive light.Mr.Asquith is abhorrent to the woman suffragists, because, while a\u2019 very progressive Liberal, he does not favor their cause, or, as some politicians do, pretend to favor it.If he had been a Tory, supporting a Tory government, they would not have molested him.His crime was in being a Liberal.They certainly had their vengeance by spoiling his meeting, though at the cost of injuring their own cause.RUSSIA.Conditions In Russia have become very ominous indeed, chiefly owing to the determination of the revolutionists to make constitutional government impossible and establish anarchy.The Czar had his chance to side with the vast mass of his people and all the intelligence of the nation against chaos.He may have it vet, but appearances are that he has lost it.We are told that he spends.his time playing tennis, possibly to keep his rerves under control, but his failure to take a stand against the dangerous class which surrounds him may plunge Russia inte a reign of terror and wipe out the Romanoffs.The so-called offical report of the Bialystok outrage convinced us that the throwing of a bomb into the Fete Dieu procession was not the work .THE MONTRE.of a Jew, on whose part it would have been an act of insawity, bui an act ot scoundrelism whose object was to pre- voke a massacre.The Governor of Grodno has now confirmed that conclusion.If the \u2018official report\u2019 was the work of the police, the only reasonable dedue- tion from its insinuations) 's that this massacre is nothing but a rénewal of the old fiendish policy of the infamous bureaucracy, which whenever it has found itself in extremities has resorted to provoking an ignorant, superstitious and somewhat brutal populace against the Jews.If the statement that an active anti-Jewish propaganda had been going on for some time previous to the outrage is found to be true, it will leava this conviction very strong in most mindg.The official report followed the familiar tactics of laying the whole blame, \"by insinuation.upon the Jews.That report told ws how portentous military precautions had been taken to: protect the procession.It is incredible that the Jews would be so crazy as to plat to pro: voke the whole population against them by attacking that most sacred of festivals.But it is easy to see how such preparations would work upon the minds of the people.Shots, the report rays, were fired from Jewish houses (probable cnough, but not till thbee houses were attacked), and that the: killed included two children who were carrying images of saints.These were probably pictures of saints, eikonms, as they are called, as the eastern church regards what we eall images as idolatrous.as we were told that it was Impossiblé to tell the numbers who were killed, and.as it » probable that most of the children wer: carrying etkons, the innuendo in this is purely gratuitous.Thc Jews of Russia have certainly bitterness enough wm their hearts against the Christians who hold them in such despite and against the government for good reason.But whatever else is to be said about Jews, they are usually admitted to be a calculating people, and they are traditlonally long- suffering.Whoever stirred up riots in Russia at such a time as this was certainly carrying a torch through a powder magazine.: WOODSIDE SEMINARY PRIZE LIST ANNOUNCED AT Till OLOSING ON FRIDAY.Woodside Seminary, 471 Argyle ave Westmount, ,

THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS \u2014 COUNSEL\u2019S ELOQUENT DEFENCE.Pleads for Two Hours and Forty Minutes in Hackett\u2019s Favor 4 IT IS EXPECTED THE VERDICT WILL BE GIVEN TONIGHT., À crowded court awaited with anxious intercst \u2018the result of the Hackett trial in the Court of Kings Bench dn Saturday, but the end was not reached, the case being adjournel at five -0\"œock, after the address of one of the counsel for the accused had been heard.The evidence for the defence was concluded by eleven o'clock in the morning.Ap adjournment was then granted for three hourg for the convenience of Mr.Rondeau, who was to lead the pleadings for the defence.Mr.Rondeau entered upon his task at two o'clock, and for two houm and forty minutes be pleaded earnestly apd eloquently for Hackett\u2019s acquittal Speaking in French, he first thanked Sir Alexander Lacoste for his impartiality ; he also thanked the jury for their patient attention in a very ilong case, and acknowledged the fairness of the two prosecuting counsel for the Crown.He then related the sad story of little May Ahern\u2019s death, feelingly | of expressed hie sympathy with the parents mn a terrible bereavement, and salia ne felt as great indignation as any man for the crime and as keen a desire for the just punishment of the criminal.But who was the guilty man?The jury, unlike many people who bad read the reports of the crime in the newspapers, would not, he wag confident, pre-judge the case.They would not condemn the first man against whom there was some suspicion, but would be guided in arriving at a verdict by cuu- science and the right - ANALYSIS OF » THE EVIDENCE.Entering upon an analysis of the evidence, the learned counsel gsaid it was all characterized by a great deal of incertitude.It struck him as being un- | likely that such a emall child, who was admittedly of a timid and shy digposi- tion, would accompany a man whom she did pot know such a long distance from her home.That she did not know Hackett was proved by her father.The Crown had put in a pair of woollen gloves that had been found near the victim.But no, one had seen Hack- ett wearing these, or, indeed, any gloves; and if be had carried them in his pocket it was extremely unlikely that he woud have taken them out of his pocket and thrown' them on the ground at Cote St.Paul.The gloves - John Dawling saw the man quite closely, but could not identify Mac e& as that man.The workman engaged on the Atwater avenue bridge, who.said it was Hackett whom he saw with the little girl, was working in such a position that he could mot make reliable observation, and therefore his evidence could not be accepted as convincing.The boy McCrae said he saw Hackett a little further along the canal bank, near the Grand Trunk bridge.He said he remarked the man well, and that he could not be mistaken.But the jury would observe the conflict be- pween this evidence and that of all the other witnesses.While they said the man they saw with the little girl wore a short coat, this lad swore the coat came down to the man\u2019s knees.If the boy could be mistaken on that point, he conld also be mistaken on the point of identification.Mrs.Taylor saw the men, but she could not eweer it was Hackett.The eight-year-old Neilssen, who recognized the accused, admitted that the man he saw was looking into the water.With the man\u2019s head so bent, how could the witness identify him?There was contradiction from beginning to end in that boy's evidence, and it was of no importance, \u2018The engineer at the waterworks was a more reliable witness.and «ne who had a much closer view of the man than either the elder or the younger Neïlssen had: but he could not identify .Neilssen professed that Hackett was like the man, and that his boy pointed to him as being the man who had previously passed with the litle girl.But counsel reminded the jury that Mr.Nooissez.s Nearest view was from a distance of two hundred end fifty feat, and that the witness had admitted he did not tee the man\u2019s face.THE TEAR IN THE COAT.The Younzer Neilssen said the man Superstitions on Skin Diseases.Of all superstitions probably the most foolish is the idea that when a rash or sore on the skin is healed and cured b means of external applications it will \u2018strike in\u2019 and do further harm.No reputable physican will give countenance to such a notion.Skin diseases of every form, and especially eczema, salt rheum, psoriasis, scald head, and all diseases which cause great suffering from itching are promptly relieved and certainly cured by Dr.Chase's Ointment.Whether for babies, children or adults, this great ointment can be used with perfect safety on the most delicate skin, amd will leave the skin soft, smooth and natural.The soothing.healing, antiseptic influence of Dr.Chase\u2019s Ointment places it without a rival as a cure for skin irritations and eruptions; 60 cents a box, at all dealers, or Edmanson, Bates & Co., Toronto.mue \u2014 any \u2014 & rm who passed along the canal bank caught the baok of his coat on the En wire when getting under a fence.Jlnck- ett\u2019s coat was produced as evidence because therc was a tegr in the back of it.But there were other tears there.Let the Jury examine the coat closely, and the learned counsel submitted that they would see that the tear in ques tion could not have been caused in the manner suggested.He said the tear had taken an upward direction\u2014the threads of the cloth showed that\u2014 wherere, if the accident had ocearrau in the manner as described by the boy, tbe tear must inevitably have taken a downward course.Christian Marks had told the nonrt and jury that he met Hackett on the i Grand Trunk Railway track at half-past six o'clock.They nad the evidence of waterworks engineer that he saw be man and child near the ued:ct &t'two minutes past six o'clock.He was a8 confident about the time ag was Marks.Now, how could Hackett have gone with the girl into the woods; have committed the crime as it was commit ted, carried the clothes to the church, and returned to the railway track in short space time.- tradition ! More con .learned counsel nvas very severe in hie reference to Marks and the special constable, Carter.He reminded the jury that a reward of $225 had been offered for the capture of the murderer, and they had heard the evidence of the boy Murphy, who said the wife of Carter bought a newspaper from him In order to read about the murder and the reward which was offered for the murderer's arrest.or Nygaard, the companion of Marks, this witness admit that the man\u2019s head was bent ag they met on the track.Then how could Nygaard rec ognize him ?Some importance had been attached to Hackett's belt.But nearly every laboring man wore a belt similar to his, oF WHAT THE DEFENCE HAS SUBMITTED.Against all this evidence, they had the testimony of Mrs.Mooney, a\u2019 disinterest- witness, who was no relation to Hackett, and she said , bositively that Hackett entered his house at a quarter past five o'clock in the afternoon of April 3.If that was true, then it was absolutely impossible that Hackett could have committed this crime.Mrs.Mooney was corroborated by her deughter, by Mrs.Hackett, by Mrs.Martin, and by Mr; David Martin.They proved that Hackett was sleeping peacefully and innocently in his bed at the hour that the little victim was seen at Lote St.Paul with her assassin\u2019 \u2019 Further than this, they had the evi depce of Mr.Brissette, who saw the man walk up, to the church and throw the girl's clothes through the window into the basement, What did be eay?He &8id that the man was stouter than Hackett, and that he had a longer neck.- He declared that he did not believe Hackett was the man.The jury would have remarked the attitude of this gen- tlemau while in the witness box and that of the witness Mark.\u2018Miss Leduc and Miss Juteau, who also saw the man go to and from the church, swore that Hackett was not that man.Reference to the evidence of Miss Le- duc led Mr.Rondeau to comment on the zeal shown in the case by the police, who, he said, had been determined at all costs to find a victim.But had they not been somewhat over-zealous?Miss Le- duc said on Friday afternoon that Chief Doré had told her to identify Hackett as the man she saw at Cote St.Paul.Chief Doré had explained that what he said to her was, \u2018You will eay that he js the man,\u201d meaning that when che was confronted with Haekett she would have no difficulty in recognizing him.Mr.Rondeau was willing to give the police officer the benefit of the doubt, but he maintained that the remark ought not to have been made.The witnesses should not be interfered with in any way.UNUSUAL ZEAL UF THE POLICE.They bad another example of the over- zealousness of the police in the handkerchief incident.This handkerchief was found near the scene of the crime, It was taken to Hackett\u2019s house, dropped surreptitiously behind a boudoir, and then produced in order to trap some one into claiming that it belonged to a person in the house.And Mrs.Hackett's sister said tbat when the handkerchief was shown to her by the detective it was so folded that the red spotted border could not be seen, and that it looked hike an ordinary white handkerchief.A key was aleo found near the child's body.\u2018But this was not produced,\u201d continued Mr.Rondeau.\u2018Why not?I asked Chief Doré, and he replied: \u201cI was not asked to produce it.\u201d It was mot thought by Chief Doré to be of any importance after he had carried it to Hackett\u2019s house and found that it would not fit any lock in the place.Would it have been of no importance if that key had happened to fit a lock in the house of James Hackett?Is that what the prosecution are doing\u2014producing everything against the accused and carefully hiding everything that may tell in his favor?But the witnesses are bound to tell, not some of the truth, but the whole truth\u201d ; Learned counsel quoted cases in which innocent men had been convicted on mistaken evidence, and asked the jury to give Hackett the benefit of the very grave doubt there was In this case.It Was better, he argued, to allow ninety- nine guilty persons to escape than to convict one innocent man.Will you accept the evidence of the Crown or that of the defence?.It may be said, continued Mr.Rondeau.that the evidence of the defence is interested.But is not the Crown evidence interested in the light of the one hundred and twenty-five dollars that have been offered as a reward?I maintain that the evidence of the defence is not interested.How can Mrs.Mooney be interested?Mr.Brissette, who is not ze \u2014 mr my witness, but the witness of the Lrown, cannot possibly be interested.How can interest be shown against Miss Leduc or Mies Juteau?They say Hackett is not the man who approached the church with the bundle of clothes and threw them into the basement.The witnesses for the defence disprove the evidence of the Orown.You will not\u2014 you cannot\u2014condemn Hackett.will render him his liberty and return him to bis wife and mother.Mr.Rondeau pointed to the two weeping women who occupied chairs adjoining the counsel's table.They were not alone in their tears.Other women in court, moved by the lawyer's fervent eloquence, wept in unison, and several jurymen were not unmoved.It was Mr.Rondeau\u2019s maiden speech as an advocate.THE CLOSING EVIDENCE.On Saturday morning Marie Louise Juteau, 17 years of age, residing at Cote St.Paul, said that some time ago she was called to the City Hall, and was there confronted with Bradley and Hackett.She had met a man near the church at Cote St, Paul about supper time on April 3 last.As the man passed he touched her with his clothes, but she did not remark him well.Mr.Rondeau\u2014Whom did you identify as that man when you were at the City Hall\u2014Hackett or Bradley?\u2018Bradley is the man whom I fied,\u2019 replied the witness.Mr.Rondeau\u2014Is the prisoner at the bar the man whom you met at Cote St.Paul on April 3?Witness\u2014No, sir.In crozs-examination, the wi\\ness said she did not remark the man\u2019s features; indeed, she did not see his face.He did not walk with his head erect, and he had the appearance of being under the influence of liquor.Mr.Lafontaine\u2014Why did you point out Bradley at the City Hall?Witness\u2014\u2014Becaure he resembled the man I saw at Cote St.Paul.He had a shorter neck than Hackett, Witness further said she noticed that the\u2019 man wore a dark-colored suit and & dark soft felt hat.She did not remark the clothes sufficiently well to be able to say whether the clothes produced (those of Hackett) were similar to those worn by the man at Cote St.Paul, She could not swear that the man she saw was either Bradley or Hackett.CL David Martin, apprentice machinist, 150 Shearer mireet, said he remembered well April 3 last, because just prior to that date he had been injured, and was in the habit of going to Hackett\u2019s house.Between seven o'clock and half-past geven on the evening of that date he called at the house, and, on asking after Hackett, Mrs.Mooney replied that he was in bed.Witness had often been to the house and found Hackett in bed.Alvarey Doré, chief of police of Lote St.Paul, was called to give evidence in rebuttal of part of the evidence of the girl, Marie Anne Ledue, who stated that the chief told her on Friday to say she recognized Hackett as the man whom she saw at Cote St.Paul on April 3.What he said was: \u2018You will say that he is the man.\u2019 Miss Leduc, he mid, misunderstood the sense of his remark.identi- LAUNCH DESTROYED \u2014 THE

FOR THE FARM.There does not seem to be quite as great a cpaze .among the young men of our farming community to leave the farm and go into the towns and cities as there was a few years ago, but there is still too much of it.The freedom and independence of a life on the farm -is being appreciated more than it used to be, and it is too often a great mistake when a young man leaves the farm for the city, expecting that he can get rich quiek- ly and without hard work.Our cities are full of people who live from \u2018hand to mouth,\u2019 and whose total wealth is represented by the clothing they have on.Years go by and these persons never have a home.They lose that independence that the proud owner of a farm has with the labor-saving machin: ery now in uee, the rural telephone sys tem, the fine, comfortable homes, etc.The boy who gives up a good farm for life in a city makes the mistake of his life in nine cases out of .ten.Stick to the farm, boys, if you have a good one, \u2014Aylmer

YOUNG MEN IN BROME LAKE Brome Lake, Kpowlton, was the scene of a sad y yesterday afier- noon that resulted in the death of two promising youths, Edward Keonedy, formerly of Knowlton, but Montreal, and Norman Fay, of Knowl- ton.The first-named was a nephew of Dr.Roddick, dean of the Medical Faculty of McGill University, and he had gone to Knowlton to spend the week end.Young Fay was a atudent at McGill, who was spending his vacation at home.He had passed in the first year science.The youths, who were warm friends, lunched together yesterday at Lake View House, Knowlton, and walking to the lake with some other young people, decided to go for a short canoe trip.As the lake was rather rough, some girls who were with the party tried to dissuade them from going out, but they made light of their fears and put off.The Jake became increasingly rough, and when the boys gut out between the south end of the island and the mainland they got the full sweep of the wind, and after being tossed about for a time, £heir canoe capsized.A party of boaters who had taken ref- DROWNING FATALITY THE ST.LAWRENCE CLAIMED TWO VICTIMS YESTERDAY BY UPSETTING OF BOAT.Mrs.Yvonne Gagnon, a widow, of 8 St.Dominique street, and Emile Picotte, a single man, who boarded at 267 St.Lawrence street, were drowned yesterday afternoon by the upsetting of a boat at the Locomotive and Machine Company\u2019s wharf, about a quarter of a mile from Dominion Park.Narcisse Mooney, a single man, employed at P.Millaire's hotel, St.wrence street, was a third member of the party, but he was rescued just as he was about to sink exhausted.The three secured a skiff from Gad- bois\u2019s boat house, and rowed down with the current, having a good deal of fun en route, or at least ome of the party had consumed a good deal of liquor.Arrived at the Locomotive and Machine Company's wharf, they undertook to turn and row back.A strong wind was blowing on shore, and the water was quite choppy.The men apparently lost their heads, and after a good deal of confusion and shouting, when almost within reach of the dock, Picotte tried to stand up, with the result that the boat upset.Those on shore immediately shouted for help, but made no effort at rescue.All three would have speedily drowned had not three men, named Harry Cooper, Albert Cross and David Dufault, who lived a hundred yards away, heard the noise, and ran to the rescue.A boat was on shore, and they immediately pulled out and eaved Mooney.Just before they caught him Picotte threw up his arms and sank.The woman went under immediately the boat overturned, and never rose to the surface.At the spot where the tragedy occurred the water is very deep right up to the shore.The drowned man fad not been in the water ten minutes before the hook of one of the fishermen caught in his back.Instead of pulling him out and attempting to resuscitate him, the people on shore merely hauled the body close to shore, moored it to a post, and left it there, face down in the water, whence it was finally pulled half way out, and left on the stones until eight o'clock, when the morgue men removed it.The body of Mm.Gagnon was found this afternoon and taken to the morgue.\u2014\u2014\u2014 BOY\u2019S BODY RECOVERED.The body of Patrick O'Brien, sixteen years of age, who was drowned from the C.P.R.S.'Lake Manitoba\u2019 at noon on Monday last while the vessel lay at her berth at the King Edward pier, came to the surface at seven o'clock last night near the place where he was drowned.The deceased belonged to Liverpool, and joined the \u2018Lake

immediately ran down to their own boat and set out to the res cue, but the canoe and both youths sank almost immediately, the /ould-be rescuers not being able to find a trace of them.\u201cUpwards of a hundred men were employed searching the lake last night for the bodies.The canoe was washed up at Bondville, on the western shore, asd the body of Edward Kennedy was found.The other body is still undiscovered.Dr.Roddick, accompanied by Mrs.Kennedy, the mother of the deceased, Miss Roddick and Mr.Kennedy (brother) arrived at Knowlton, by way of Foster, this afternoon, the bereaved mother being almost distracted with grief.Mrs.Fay, the mother of the other dead boy, wag absent at the Stan- stead closing when the accident occurred.She returned to Knowlton early this morning quite crushed by

HACKETT HAS FAILED TO PROVE AN ALIBI.HE _ This morning Mr.O'Sullivan delivered in English an address to the jury in defence of James Hackett, who is charged with the murder of Edith May Ahern, at Cote St.Paul.Learned counsel foi- lowed exactly the same course pursued by Mr.Rondeau on Saturday.Mr.E.Lafontaine.followed with a speech for the Ciown.His duty, he said, was to demonstrate and satisfy the\u2019 jury upon the f that the prosecution had brought before them.They did not search a victim, but they demanded truth, impartiality and justice.learned counsel for the defence had made an eloquent appeal to their sympathy, but sympathy wae a bad counael- lor.The jury had their duty to - form in the interests of justice; sty had to be protected, and their pity was to be invoked, they had to remember the family who hed been plunged into mourning by this awful crime.\"the question for the jury wae the plain, straightforward one of the guilt or innocence of the prisonér at the bar, and they.must arrive at they verdict ae- cording to the proof.There was a marked difference between the two stories told by the prosecution on one side and the defence on the other, and without discursing every detail of the evidence for the defence and responding to every argument submitted by the prisoner's counsel, Mr.Lafontaine said he would call the jury'# attention to the main questions at issue between the witnesszs on the two sides.The defence, in a word, wag that the accused was not at Cote St.Paul when the crime was committed.They raid be was then sleep: ing peacefully at home.That proof was ed on the evidenge of Mrs.Mooney, Mrs, Moogey\u2019s daughter, and Mpa.Hackett.Mrs.Mooney said she was certain Hackett reiched home at fifteen minutes past fiye on the evening of ome nitentiary first at ten minutes past six, and a see: an Indian ond time at fifteen migutes past seven.e was very exact on those points t his learned friend, Mr.Guerin, had made it plain in his cross-examination that Mrs.Mooney\u2019s memory was very defective regarding other events and other dates, How was it, then, she was so certain in one particular and.so mistaken in others.Mr.Lafontaine did not wish to diecredit the woman.He admitted she was a perfectly honest woman, but he submitted that she had cof: founded the dates.Quite apart from Hackett\u2019s guilt or Innocence of the crime with which he wae charged, theré could be no doubt that he was unde the influence of liquor on the day in question.But neither Mrs.Moone a ; Mrs.Hackett noticed tbe fact.which 8 another remarkable phase of their evi dence.The evidence of the girl Mooner- was exactly the same as that of her mother, who was hardly likely to be contradicted by her own r.Mrs, Hackett\u2019s evidence was not conclusive that she returned and found her husband at home at 6-10 or 7.10, and as i that, and the testimony of Mrs.Mooney, was the man element of the defence, i be submitted that, examined on its merits the evidence did not establish an alibi.The defending counsel had laid stress on the fact that Mr.Brissette Miss Leduc and Mise Juteau, who ha all seen the man approach the chureh at Cote St.Paul and throw a parcel th h the basement window.could not identify Hackett.Indeed.they thought Hackett ven not the man, Because he was not so stout, and had a longer neck than the individual they saw.Mr.Lafontaine, however, pointed out that in all other respects their description of.the men corresponded to Hackett, and even in the diversion he found an element of corroboration, \u2018for\u2019 he said, \u2018they say the mam slouched along with his hands in his pockets; that his head was bent, and that he was under the influence of drink.This agrees with the description of the attitude of the man whom other witnesses are confident wns Hackett.The slouch and the bent head, I contend, would give a broader appearance to Hackett and shorten his neek.\u201d Replying to the contention that the police had overstepped the bounds of fairness in regard to the handkerchief incident, Mr.Lafontaine said the police had a duty to perform, and when they found a handkerchief on the field of the crime it was hardly likely they would go straight to Mrs.Hackett and ask if it belonged to her.They had to adopt rome strategy in cases of this sort, and the good faith of Detective Sergeant Charpentier was proved bv the fact that he returned to again ask Mrs.Hackett\u2019s.sister if she was sufficiently confident the handkerchief was hers to swear to it.The girl did not persist in her claim, and the prosecution accordingly did not produce the handkerchief as an element of proof.As to the key, the non-produe- tion of which Mr.Rondeau complained.it was not produced because no importance was attached to it one way or the other.It had no bearing on the case at all.Regarding the suggestion that some of the witnesses were interested on the Crown side because of the reward offered for the arrest of the murderer.the Crown Prosecutor submitted that it was not likely any man would go into the witness box and swear a man\u2019s life away for $125.\u2018Learned counsel then proceeded to examine the evidence as a whole, and told the jury of Hackett\u2019s movements on the way in question in what he called their chronological order.He laid special emphasis on that part of the evidence of the boy Neilssen relating how Hackett tore his coat when getting under the barbed wire fence.The tear was in Hackett\u2019s coat without a doubt, and Mr.Rondeau\u2019s submission that it could not have been caused in the manner described did not disprove the boy's evidence or rid the case of a very important piece of circumstantial testimony.This afternoon Mr.Guerin addressed the jury in English, / DAILY \u2018WITNESS DROWNED : HACKETI\u2019S DEFENCE | | THE JOLIETTE ROUTE THE LITTLE ST.PIERRE THE COMPANY SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY UNHAMPERED, SAYS MR.AMES, M.P.Together with the other Montreal members of parliament, Mr.H.B.Ames is strongly opposed to the Grand Trunk Paciic Railway Branch Lines Company being forced to go round by way of Joh- ette in building the branch from the main line to Montreal.It is estimated that if this route is insisted on a train from Calgary would reach Quebec six hours eariier than it could possibly come over this branch line to Montreal.\u2018It seems to me,\u201d said Mr.Ames to a \u2018Witness\u2019 reporter, \u2018that it is very unreasonable to force this branch lines company to reach Montreal by way of Joliette.The.company should be allow ed to reach Montreal by the best route the engineers can discover.The argument raised by the Joliette people is that by coming down to the valley to their place the railway would open up a considerable area of new land for col- onizition, But everybody knows that 99 percent of the traffic on the new line will be freight coming from the west to the port of Montreal.That being the case, all that through freight ought not to be compelled to come to Montreal by such a roundabout route for the sake of a small quantity of local freight.\u2018Consequently we are strongly in favor of having that clause amended in the House, and a motion to that effect will be presented on Tuesday.\u201cWe feel that the company ought to be absolutely unhampered in building the best line from Montreal to the main line that they can possibly discover to be the straightest and best.It would very likely defeat the whale object of the bill to insist on their going by way of Joli- ette, and it might mean the absolute abandonment of that line NOTHING TO SAY.Officials of the Grand Trunk Railwa met all enquiries with the silence wit which this railway company meets most press enquiries, On Saturday a \u2018Witness\u2019 representative endeavored to see Mr.C.M.Hays, the president of the company, to get his views on the proposed route via Joliette.Mr.Hays did not eee him.He was referred to Mr.Wainwright, the second vice-president, as being \u2018the best man to see, because he has been dealing with that matter.But Mr.Wainwright also declined to see a reporter on the subject, sending out a message that it Was à political matter that he did not care to discuss.Par- liamer* would have to decide.A special meeting of the Board of Trade Council i to be held this afternoon to discuss the matter.I dike hae been asked to explain the i- tion of affairs.Some of the members have suggested the holding of a public meeting; others prefer that the matter be first discussed by the Board of Trade, and a full meeting of that body may shortly be called.; Mayor Ekers and Mr.Bickerdike held a consultation this morning, when His Worship decided to bring the matter to the attention of the Oity Council, À letter was received by the Mayor at noon to-day from Senator David, in which the latter stated that he thought it would be of no use to introduce the subject in the City Council, as he was almost certan the Railway Committee would not reconsider its vote.However, Mayor Ekers said that personally he realized the importance of the situation, and would probably act in the matter on his own initiative.i Word was received in the city this afternoon from Ottawa to the effect that the bill will not come up for discussion in committee until Wednesday evening next.DEATH OF THE REV.T.EVERETT.After twenty years of conscientious, unselfish and honorable service in the Diocese of Montreal, the Rev.Thomas Everett passed away yesterday.Aid- though the deceased

REV.T.EVERETT.unostentatious life of a Christian gentleman which he lived, performing such occasional duties as his health permitted, and ever ready to a\u2018d and counsel those in trouble.The Rev.Mr.Everett was born in London, Eng., in 1840, and.coming to Canada in 1859, studied theology in the Bishop's College at Len- noxville.After several years of missionary labor, ill-health forced his

attorneys have reported as follows on the right of the city of Montreal to drain into Petite Riviere Saint- Pierre: \u2014 \u2018According to the city surveyor\u2019s report, dated \u2018Dec.5, 1895, we ascertained that the city never had any sewer emptying into the \u201cPetite Kivière Saint- Pierre,\u201d and that it has no right of draining into said river.We were informed that the city of Lachine has obtained from the Ottawa Government permission of draining into the river, and has, consequently, constructed a sewer which flows into the \u2018Petite Rivière Saint- Pierre.\u201d We are of opinion that the city could obtain the desired permission | it should asked for same, on similar terms and conditions granted to Lachine.We mubt add that the Rev.Ladies of the Congregation of Notre \"Dame of Montreal have entered a suit, which is still pending, for $74,837.04 damages, caused by the draining into the \u201cPetite Riviere Saint-Pietre,\u2019 of surrounding municipalities, the city of Montreal included; but being informed that Montreal had no drain flowing into said river, the plaintiffs had put a stop to their action against the city.\u2019 \u2014\u2014\u2014 A SAILOR CHOKED

Present Average of Growth Washington, June 18\u2014The European crop situation is told in the following June summary of conditions abroad issued by the Department of Agriculture: Uneeasonable, cold, gloomy weather has prevailed on the north-western Europe, especially in Great Britain and France, throughout the greater part of May.There have also been brief epells of remarkably low temperature in parts of Itaiy ana Spain.In eastern Europe, on the contrary, the month has been exceptionally genlal and spring-like.Europe the growing crops, already backward from the adverse weather conditions of March and April, have not made the progress desired.Their development, however, though it hae been retarded by the lack of sunshine and warmth, bas had the benefit of abundant and general rainfall.A month of eeasonable weather, it- is believed, would render conditions as a whale In Southern and Centra; Europe there is little in the agricultural situation that differs from average years of good promise.In eastern Europe, excepting local complaints of drought crap prospects are unusually fine.A BEAR ON DOMINION STEEL Mr.Edward Cronyn, a Toronto broker.has issued the following market letter OD the Dominion Iron and Steel stocks: We have been told that we do not 100k upen the affairs of the Dominion Iron and Steel Company in an unblased way, or we would have been more optimistic than we were in our letter of April 20 last, where we deprecated the manipulation by which the securities were being placed on 8 higher level.While this manipulation waë obvious enough to be thoroughly understood by those in our business, yet it was difficult\u2014with bu:lish write-ups so freely circulated\u2014for the public to form a fair estimate of the positon.The stand we took has been more than justified by the recont statement reported ae coming from the man best qualified tp speak, Mr.J.H.Plummer.He lays stress upon the very weak point we mentioned in our latter above referred to.His worde are as follows: \u2018Under the present law it must be remembered that the bounties wlll be much lower after July 1, and we should suffer accordingly.\u2019 He expresses a hope that these bounties may be extended.Notwithstanding the .arge eum due to boun- tles, he states that the earnings were not what they hoped, although they showed great improvement.In view of the many statements as to re-organization and rearrangement of finances, many of which involved payment of arrears of dividend or the preferred, the following statement by Mr.Plummer is eignificant: \u2018The rearrangement of our finances has never yet come before the Board, while as to arrears of dividend, their payment is out of our power, for we have not earned them.\u2019 Another Important statement ie as foJlowe: \u2018To keep the mille at Sydney and the \u2018SBoo\u2019- busy the Canadian roade would have to lay over 3,000 miles of track of eighty- pound rails every year; abould lighter rails be used a greater mileage Of course would have to be ured, 1 do not think the miieage will be used, and it may be necessary for us to seek an export market for our sud- plus.\" We believe the company wlll come out of ite difficulties all right, but it must take a considerable time, and the public is indebted to Mr.Plummer for bis frank statement as to the true position of of- fairs.counteracting, as it does, the glowing accounts of stock manipulators, DAIRY PRODUCE Prices on the country clcese boards, which ehoweq an advance of 1-8c over last week, are a fair criterion of the general situation.The

said to exceeel $1,000,000 in value, it will be noticed that among all the precious stones\u2014diamonds, pearls, brilliants, sapphires, etc.\u2014no mention is made of an opal.The opal has always been considered an unlucky stone, and many instances have been given of the 1l-luck attending its acceptance, but the noted Spenish opal has brought so many terrible catastrophes in its wake that it is dreaded by the Spaniards above all symbols of illahrck.This | was originally possesssed by Alfonso XII, of Spain, and was highly valued by the King, Accordingly, on hig wedding day, he presented it, among other gifts, to his bride, who was Mer- cédes, the daughter of the Duke of Mont ier.She died, however, shortly afterwards, and the King, not liking to see any of her jewels to remind him of his loss, gave it among others to his sister, Maria del Pilar, just before the frreral of his wife.The King's sister died a few days after reeciving the opal, and the King then gave it to his sister-in-law, the Princes Christina, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Montpensier, and, to the horror of all, she also died before three monthe had Passed.The King was so horror-stricken and grieved at these strange occurrences, that he resolved not to give it to any one else, but to wear it himself.He algo died soon afterwards.The Queen Regent, broken-hearted and afraid of the fatal stone, resolved that no other human being should be influenced by its ill-luck, and obtaining a solid gold chain she fastened the opel ring to it and hung it around the neck of the virgin of Almudena of Madrid.since that time none of the royalties can lu persuaded to accept the opal, and naturally the people, elwaye superstitious, have been afraid even to look at one.\u2014 New York
