tendent of the Ontario Division, with i headquarters at Toronto.In November, | 1906, he was transferred to Montreal, to take the position from which he is now retiring.Mr.James Oborne, the then superintendent of the Eastern Division, going to Toronto to take his place.Prior to going to Toronto, Mr.Timmerman was superintendent of the Atlantic Division with headquarters at St.John, N.B.He started -his railway career on the Grand ; 'runk, and for a time served that com- e also worked in the old offices on St.Etienne street, but he has been identified with the C.P.R.for close upon a quarter of a century.Mr.Charles Murphy, the new general superintendent of the Eastern Division, is looked upon as one of the most capable and popular men among the C.P.R.ofi- cials.He has been connected with the company for many years.He was formerly superintendent in charge of the Ontario Division.with headquarters at London, Ont-, but for the last six months or so, he has been relieving other superintendents in various parts of the system.NEW FRENCH PROFESSOR \u2014\u2014 THE REV.CHARLES BIELER WILL COME FROM PARIS TO THE PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE.The Presbyterian College, Montreal, has appointed the Rev.Charles Biéler, of Paris, as French professor in sueces- sion to the late Dr.Coussirat.M.Biéler is eminently qualified by his education and previous experience for such a position.He began his public career as assistant director of the Preparatory School for Missionaries in Paris, then became director of the Galliard Collegiate School, in Lausanne.For two years he was lecturer in Patristic Theology at Lausanne, and for the past ten years has been agent-general of the Sun- dav-school Association in France.with headquarters in Paris, where he is well known and highly estermed by the pastors of all the Protestant churches.He is editor of all the publications of ihe society.Madame Biéler is a daughter of Dr.J.J.Merle D\u2019Aubigné, the famous author of the \u2018History of the Reforma_ tion,\u2019 and is herself an active Christian worker, Professor .Biéler is expected to arrive about the middle of Sentember, and will enter on his duties on Oct.1.He has a good command of English, as well as of Frenchmen ICE CREAM STREET SALES Discussing the petition that the Ital- jaa ice cream venders have this week addressed to the City Council asking that tl'eir licenses may be renewed to permit them to sell ide «ieam cn the streets again, Dr .McCarrey, the chief food inspector, said this morning that he does not see how these people can comply with the city\u2019s health by-laws and sell wholesome ice cream on the streets, however good-intentioned and careful they may be The conditions are all against it, and the work of supervising the men in order to be sure that they meel all the sanitary requirements would be altogether impossible for his department to carry out as at present constituted.His recommendation last year that street sales from ice cream barrows should be stopped was adopted, and \"he did not think it was likely the City Council would rescind its resolution.SHAKE-UP IN C.P.R.OFFICIALS d 3 the agent tliere.\u201cta and SP.Jobn,- where Mr.Parsons and pany in the capacity of train despatcher, | ' \u2018 | Latter Criticises MARINE INQUIRY.| Capt: Spain and Col.Gourdeau Endavor to Explain\u2014The Mr, Fyshe\u2019s Methods of Examination.eee (See also Page 14.)

he bad never received the goods.Commander Spain was recalled, in view of statements made yesterday by the auditor-general.| The auditor-general had stated that in 1905 the commander had padded his accounts to the extent of eight or nine hundred dollars.The commander explained that during 1904 and 1905 he had been continuously away from Ottawa.When he returned he had lost his notebook, and could not definitely make up his accounta.Tue minister, Mr.Prefontaine, told him to make his accounts up as correctly as he could and attach an affidavit stating that the book had been lost.This he had done, and the auditor-general\u2019s denart- ment had returned it on account of a couple of errors.These were revised and a new account pul in.The reduction, he thought, amounted to \u2018our or five hundred dollars.| The auditor-general said you got half the refund from the deputy?The auditor is incorrect.Have you ever included counts items not incurred.I have not.The deputy minister, Col.Gourdeau, prefaced his evidence by a vigorous statement to the court in which Commission- e- Fyshe was criticised barshly for his prejudice against the civil service and his boorish method of conducting his investigation.\u2018The deputy stated first that \u2018the report showed clearly Mr.Fyshe\u2019s animus to the department.He had carried out his inquiry practically with- our any assistance from officials of the department, and that accounted for his wany mistakes.No far as he was per- no knowledge.of in your ac- sonally concerned( the deputy stated, financially he was by no means so wealthy as had been suggested.His savings were one-quarter or less of what had been mentioned.Never by word of mouth or by writing had he given anyone to understand that he could advance their Interests with the department.Col.Gourdeau repeated a conversation which Mr.Owen, the accountant, had had with Mr.¥yshe when the latter came looking for official records in which he*said the department was rotten;

Ottawa, June 18.\u2014In the House of Commons to-day the Minister of Finance moved the second reading of the Government Bill respecting a certain issue of Dominion notes, which was then taken up in the committee stage.The Hon.Mr.Fielding referred to the money stringency of last autumn, and to the difficulty which was experienced in moving the western grain crop at that time.It was under these circumstances that an advance of $5,315,000 in Dominion notes was made to the Canadian banks in excess of what was authorized by the then amount of the gold reserves.This money was issued between November 21 and the lst of January, and was repayable before May 1.Repayment had been made in full within the appointed time, and throughout the duration of the period of this emergency note issue, the Government had not only the credit of the banks themselves for its repayment, but the guarantee of the Bank of Montreal over all.He recognized that a grave step had been taken in this matter, but the results to the grain interests of the West, he believed, would have been graver stil! had this step not been taken.The present bill was introduced to legalize what had been done.The Hon.Mr.Foster thought that no case had been made for the government's breach of the currency law.Moreover, to have taken this course without consulting Parliament, and when Parliament | was itself in session, was treating the \u2018people\u2019s representatives with positive contempt.CUSTOMS SHRINKAGE.Ottawa, June 18.\u2014In reply to an inquiry to-day by Mr.George Taylor, the Conservative Chief Whip, it was stated that the customs revenue for the first fifteen days of the month of June, amounted to $1,963,770, which 1s a shrinkage of $887,246 from last year.The excise revenue for the same period, amounted to $718,000, a decrease of $61, 000.J CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETIES BILL.June 18.\u2014As the result of discussion before a committee of the Senate to-day, the governments Co-oper- ative Societies Bill has been referred to the Department of Justice for an opinion on «8 crnstitutionality.tr GROCERS\u2019 CONVENTION \u2014 Quebec, June 18.\u2014The principal bus:- ness transacted at this morning\u2019s session of the Grocers Convention was the elec- tien of officers.'I'hese resulted as follows: \u2014 Lu President, Mr.L.EK.Geofirion, Montreal, \\ 1ce-pjresidents for the various provinces: \u2014Ontario, Mr.Hugh Blain, Toronto; Manitoba, Mr.Kenneth Mackenzie, Winnipeg; Alberta, Mr.E.H.Tel ler, Edmonton; British Columbia, Mr.Percy Wollaston, Victoria; Quebec, Mr.L.A.Carrier, Quebec; Nova Scotia, Mr.Ti.G.Bauld, Halifax; New Brunswick, Mr.W.E.Cross, St.John; Prince Edward Island, Mr.W.H.Aitken, Charlottetown; secretary-treasurer, Mr.J.Stanley Cook, Montréal, A GROWING CITY A FEW FIGURES WHICH SHOW THE ADVANCE OF MONTREAL.\u2014 Ottawa, Extracts from the latest statistical returns issued at the City Hall give interesting evidence of the growth of the city since 1880, in which year the city\u2019s finances were placed on a permanent stable basis.The revenue from real estate assessment last year was $1,979,426, as om.pared with $582,100 in 1880, being an in crease of $1,397,326.The revenue in water taxes was $885,686 against $327,- 014.and in business and ner-onal taxes $364,117, against $146,148 in 1880.The largest increase is shown in the licensing department, where the revenue now amounts to nearly two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, as compared with $43.635 twenty-eight years ago.The total net revenue during the past year was $4,889,276, as comwvared with $1,495,660 in 1880.THE GOLD CUP.London, June 18.\u2014The race for the gold cup was run at Ascot to-day.W.R.Wyndbam\u2019s \u2018The White Night,\u2019 was first; L.d= Rothschild\u2019s \u2018Radium\u2019 got second place, and W.M.G.Singer\u2019s \u2018Tor- ther was graft somewhere, and that $6, point\u2019 was third.Six horses started.NEWS IN BRIEF.The Chinese in the island province 0% Hai nan are reported dying nike thes or the plague.The boycott in Hongkong against the apanese js reported to be stil strougly maintained, ° ( Lhe diamond fakir, Lemoine, on tra in Paris, has fled, and his tamous tor- mula with which he has been huinbug- ging otherwise sensible people, 1s a farce.E.T.Bethell, the British subject who Was found guilty yesterday at Seoul Corea, before a British court, of spread.Ing sedition through the medium ot a newspaper, published in the Corean vernacular, and of which he is proprietor, has been sentenced to three weeks\" imprisonment.For forty-five minutes yesterday the great Republican convention iu Chicago yelled for President Roosevelt, and the one deafening refrain was \u2018Four, four four years more.\u2019 In the naval sham fight off New York this morning, Fort Hancock capitulated almost before a shot had been fired, and at last accounts the \u2018enemy\u2019 was steam- Ing up the channel in the face of a withering fire from Fort Hamilton and Fort Wadsworth.Lieut.-Col.Rankin, of the 24th Reg ment of Chatham, Ont, has resigned because the government has invited to the Quebec celebration only de com pany of his regiment.The \u2018Norman; a United States schoun- Bret reported a total loss off Cape .Nova Scotia fishing vessel arrived in Boston from tue South to-day.They were wrecked off Argentina, and rowed ashore after their vessel went down, only to be arrested and locked up on a charge or \u2018poaching.\u2019 The crew of a rp « .peut Regulus,\u201d a Russian barque, has een wrecked near Shippigan, N.B.The C.P.R.has decided to begin: work again at once on their branch Line running from Moose Jaw.west of Regina, to Lacombe, on the line between Calgary and Edmonton.This line is 40 to 50 miles south of the Naskatoon and, Edmonton branch, and practically parallels it.)

while by the lake and ail route the difference in favor of Montreal is 2.65 cents a bushel.Actually, at present rates, as the table we published on Tuesday shows, New York could not compete with Montreal even 1f ocean carriage from the former to Liverpool were free.Even then the difference in favor of Montreal would be nearly halt a cent a bushel.What the New York Produce Exchange and other concerns interested may be able to do in the way of inducing the railways to cut their rates remains to be secn; but a speaker at one of the New York meetings discouragingly remarked that if they did get a reduction there would immediately bd an equivalent reduction on water car\u201c riage to Montreal.It is incontrovertible that it is Montreal's natural geographical advantages and the improvements ta her canals and waterways\u2019 system In general that have secured the bulk of the business for the Canadian route; and it would seem that New York can pot under free competitive conditions | hope to regain her former lead.It 13 another evidence of the controlling character of the rates established by a water route, and should inspire Canadians with the wisdom, nay, imperative necessity, of keeping the St.Lawrence route not only abreast of the times, but, ed far as possible, ahead of them, so as to invite more and of the world's traffic, and secure Montreal's supremacy in the western carrying trade in perpetuity.more ef In a detailed statistical return relating to building operations in the leading industrial centres throughout Canada for 1907, the Dominion Department of Jl.bor correctly remarks that the great extent of building for some time past has been one of the most noteworthy features of Canada's general expansion.The Department's estimate of the value of the building operations in this city is, however, according to Mr.Lauer, secretary of the Montreal Builders\u2019 Exchange, appreciably under the mark.The figures for Toronto are given at $14,325,- S00; Montreal only $8,406.136; Winnipeg, $6.455,500; Vancouver, $5,596.594; Hamilton, $3,030,240; Ottawa, $2,364,950; Ted- nonton, $2.275.218; Calgary, $2,109.249; Victoria, $1,500,000; Regina, $1,177,340, and Medicine Hat, 81.000.000.This js not the worst wear for Montreal.In the two previous years she halted like a lame duck behind Winnipeg as well as Toronto.Mr.Lauer, however, says that the figures relating to Montreal are misleading, being based on permits applied for by these whose interest it is rather to understate than to overstate values, owing to reasons of subsequent assessment.He also points out that if the suburbs of Montreal were included, as they should be, for fair comparison, she vould make a very different showing.On à conservative estimate, the Montreal Builders\u2019 Exchange officially asserts that the amounts given in the building permits of this city only represent sixty percent of real cost, and that the actual luilding operations of Montreal for 1907, including the suburbs, amounted in value to $16,748,135.which, unless the building work oi other cities is also under- «stimated, gives Montreal the first position among the cities of the Dominion in this, as well as other respects.Aec- cording to this reckoning, Montreal, with the suburbs, contributes one-fourth of the total building operations of Canada as estimated by the Ottawa Labor Department.The calculation upon which this is based is interesting.The official figure for Montreal for new buildings in 1907 is given at $7,552,136;

and were the advice adopted the seemingly-inevitable result would be that the prolific races of Asia would overrun the earth and the white race would become extinct.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Dire indeed is the threat made on behalf of the Paris restaurant waiters that, if their employers do not yield to their demands, they will bring their tyrants to their knees by disclosing the secrets of the kitchen, telling the public the conditions under which the food is cooked, even in best restaurants; how sauces are made, and other dreadful revelations.The Parisian stomach is fastidious, fond of mysterious compounds that tickle the palate.How it must revolt at the bare suggestion that there are secrets in the preparation of food that may not be told.The threat alone is so horribly suggestive that should it have the desired effect, the fact will be regarded as proof that the restaurateurs dare not face exposure.The great Soyer said that the making of sauces was the most sublime of culinary mysteries and, therefore, not to be revealed to those who dine.Shut your eyes and open your mouth would seem to be a vulgar translation of his die- tum.To all people who partake of food provided for public delectation, it is a wise admonition.They must not be too nice if the: would escape qualms._\u2014_ Ninety-three years ago, on June 15, 1815, the battle of Waterloo was fought.It was the appropriate final act in the tremendous tragedy of the French Revolution, which began in 1789, and in the course of twenty-six years, completely changed the face of Europe.The volumes written about the most decisive battle of modern times would together form a large library.From a military point of view the campaign, which led up to the final catastrophe at Waterloo, is thoroughly understood.Politically, its effects are still active, thoagh Waterloo had its sequel at Sedan.Now France, nearing a century since the great battle was fought, has emerged from a series of unprecedented national disasters, the Republic triumphant over both Royalist and Imperialist reactionaries, and th true principles of the Revolution in liberty and peace firmly established.Wealthy, prosperous, with wisdom gained by terrible experience, France has exorcised the demon of military glory, and leads the world in art and the finest industries.Better still, her people, by calm, unfaltering devotion to the Republic, which has secured peace abroad f | and security at home, have given an example of self reliant courage in striving to repair the errors of the past that has won the respect and admiration of all civilized nations.Enlightened Frenchmen who study the lessons of history, now see that the allies at Waterloo fought not so much against France as against the tyrants of France, and that Bonapartism, the monstrous offspring of the Revolution, had to be buried in the same bloody grave with Bourbonism before France could arise in the splendor of the new incarnation which now is hers.This is the true moral to the story of Waterloo.A NEW CIVIL SERVICE, Mr.Sydney Fisher, Minister of Agriculture, yesterday introduced into the House of Commons the long-awaited \u2018Act to amend the Civil Service Act.The chief reform proposed is that admission to what is denominated the \u2018inside\u2019 civil service\u2014or that part of the service un- dev the several departments of the executive government and in the office of the auditor-general employed at Ottawa; at the experimental farm station and the Dominion astronomical observatory near Ottawa; and which includes the officers, clerks and employees of both houses of parha- ment\u2014shall be by competitive examination, which shall be of such a nature as to determine the qualifications of candidates for the particular purpose to which they are to be appointed.The bill provides for a commission, to be called the Civil Service Commission, consisting of two members appointed by the Gover- nor-in-Council, whose duties will be to test and pass upon qualifications of candidates for admission to the service and generally to overlook the conduct and well-being of the employees.The only exception to the competitive entrance of a candidate into the service, and the only appointment to be made without examination 1s to be an appointment by the Governor-in-Couneil on the recommendation of the deputy head of the commission that the knowledge and ability requisite for the position are wholly or in part professional, technical, or otherwise peculiar.cannot be made, however, without a certificate from the commission that the person in view possesses the requisite knowledge and ability, and is duly qualified as to health, character and habits, It is also provided that the Governor-in- Council may bring the whole or any part oi the outside service under the same provisions of the law as the inside service.The latter power is important, and should be exercised as far as pos- kible, as the more all civil service appointments are taken out of the hands ol patronage and awarded impartially to Such an appointment \u201cTHE SYMMETRICAL LIFE\u2019 \u2014_\u2014 THE REV.DR.JOHNSTON DELIVERS ADDRESS AT NORTH- FIELD SCHOOL.-\u2014 East Northfield, Mass, June 1s.\u20141ne | comincncement uddress at Northheld ;

also that every person not having a diploma.or any association or company which joins with an advocate in the practice of his profession, or shares in his fees, etc, in consideration of being promised cases on a salary or remuneration, is considered as illegally practicing as an advocate and that an association or company which writes or sends letters asking for payment of any sum with costs, or intimating that legal proceedings will be undertaken to recover the same, or who advertises that it will undertake to insti tute or have legal proceedings instituted, etc., is deemed to be acting so as to lead to the belief that it is authorized to fulfil the office of advocate.The two cases dismissed on June 12 are to be appealed against.In yesterday's proceedings the Bar of Montreal was represented by its syndic, Mr.Louis Coderre, with Mr.James Crankshaw, K.C., and Mr.J.L.Perron, K.C., as counsel;

And it was written with a cheery smile and good natured manner.Two days later, much to his surprise, the selfsame girl sidled up to Grace, and shyly reached toward him the necessary implements for ancther signature.\u2018But didn't I give it to you only a couple of days ago?\u2019 laughingly asked the veteran.\u2018Oh,\u2019 came the answer, \u2018I changed that one for two bishops.\u2019 a ar en) 3 a 4 NOR ps EE Atl RL Q DER.\u2019 LTD., The Italian Warehouse.BELFAST GINGER ALE AND SODA, All in tins containing FRASER, VIGER & C'hurren ITALIAN WAREHOUSE, ESTABLISHED 1856.\u201c(THERMOS\u201d THE KING OF BOTTLES Just stop for a moment when you are passing the Italian Warchouse James street and see our unique display of Thermos is now thorcughly established as a necessary of life.for people who travel, for those who go fishing, hunting, or camping.fery, or the sick room, they are equally indispensable.Suitable for any season of the year, in all climates, and recommended hy the leading physicians in Montreal and throughout the world.\u2018Thermos\u2019 can be had in all sizes andall Also Thermos Automobile Baskets for Pint and Quart Bottles.Thermos Single Pint Cases.Thermos Twin Pint Cases, Thermos Single Quart Cases.Thermos Twin Quart Cases.SOFT SUMMER DRINKS Montserrat Lime Juice .+.+.+ .IMp.Quarts .ve ve ve eo oe os GIe Montserrat Lime Juice .Pints .ste Montserrat Lime Juice Cordial .« «.due West India Lime Juice .ce ee se 000 .00 Corry's Raspberry Vinegar .ov ov vevevnn.Pa ere ere a ee eereaaes Je Walsh's Pure: Grape Juice .PIints.11 .24 ve er ee un .se Walsh's Pure Grape Juice .Quarts oo.24 44 ae ue A JOL SCHWEPPES' GINGER ALE AND SODA, IMPORTED DEVONSHIRE CIDER, DELICIOUS COOKED MICATS READY TO SERVE.Spring Chickens .vu +.+ 6 ++ + vn 10D THOS LL ve ane on ve ee oe Joe Each Lunch TOLEUES .+ ++ sr se +4 oenennn 1-1b.Tins 22 22 22 24 20 Le Space hich Boned Turkey .«i vo es 20 Le ue 1-1b.Tins 4.24 22 20 04 1000 She Each Boned Duck .+.ve vas cee 1-1b.Tins 22 00 20 22 04 00 352 Each Jellied Tenderloin .0.2 00 00 00 E, 63 Nip.Mines.x Ho 20g Uhio T.&L M 109 bt.Joao.dL.97 Cees ees Toledo qeeeen 114, 10 108 1v5 Teroto.xd 9928434 121 119 Trinidad 1 «oor es 32 314 Tri City pfd 77 75 eee eee Twin City 90.89 TM IT West India PE 15175 131% Winnipeg.159 158 BANKS.170 120 Nationale.,., .1560 156 New Brunsk 270.Lo N Scotiaxd .'W 149% Ontario.eee Cee Ottawa.21 eave 3 .\u2026\u2026.124 Eoyal 1d(.21944 t Ce ee es bovereign.,.Do 150 Standard.A.SL 125 Toronto 1d 2.Lure -.6 233 Union +.140 1324 COTTONS.5 47 Dom Tex.pt 85 84 43 4254 Montreal.,.À BONDS Sol LL.Hav.E.5 0 .ee 93 Keowatin Mill ., 100 i Ce I.of Wds 51116 105 Lo.L.Paper.6 113 108 - 95 Mag.Is.Dev _.> 2 78 Mer.EL.5 81% 815 { -3 Mex.L.F.5 84 83, t.+4, 5 vee BaoP.| 3 97 94% + 201.Textile À + » 83 .3 106 \u201c Bo 55 83 > O1 +4 \u201c C8 #H 8, _ .\u201cD 8 1 RN vers West India.&5 80 5 2454 84 Win.Eiec.1014, lUl ot EXCHANGE SALES, ng a 4, at bo, So a 1 Te.5.oat Ty CoA + ut 153.i lee ut JP, ial 2°.- Le a 1%, 15 44 I ut à 4 dv ) -\u2014} LE 1 3 2015 EL 7 \u2026 D at 4 - 4 4 LE.< 1 Q EL COMPANY WILL SHOW DECREASE.arnings for First Half of \u201cWill Only Amount to $36,500,000.It !< deco vel that a United sue.Steel Trent qua er Will Vow Te vus in For fires aur oof vod Bar the net FM éd: ompared \u201cTespondinz perl À last cu record wa eetub- + Y LIMITED ASSIGNS -\u2014 Te carted Pree) A a gener SMe lg resehys a wa- varriel, no naar to PE ror COUNSEL WHO HAS MOVED FOR WRIT OF PROHIBITION MR.N.K.LAFLAMME, K.C.MR.ROY UNDERGOES MEDICAL EXAMINATION.\u2014 His Condition Reported as Serious \u2014No Bondsmen Yet Found to Go Bail./ i St.Johns, Que., June 18.\u2014Mr.P.H.Roy, president of the Banque de St.Jean, who is conflned in the jall here waiting his preliminary hearing, is reported to-day as being very ill.A careful examination was made this morning by Dr.Joyal, of Montreal, assisted by Dr.Lafleur, #£f St.Johns.The physicians will report immediately on the condition of Mr.Roy, on this report the attorneys for the ac- cased president will act regarding the liberation from jail of their patient.Up to a late hour this -afternoon there was no one found who would put up the necessary security for Mr.Roy's release on bail.BANK PRESIDENT INDICTED FOR MISAPPROPRIATION OF FUNDS Toledo, Ohio, June 18.\u2014Mr.George C.Metzger, one of the wealthiest men of Toledo, and president of the Broadway Bank which closed its doors a few weeks ago, has been indicted by the Grand Jury on counts charging him with embezzlement ané misappropriation of funds.He was released under bonds.BANK OF GERMANY INTEREST RATE, NOW 4 PERCENT Bertin, June 18, \u2014The rate of discount of the Imperial Bank où Germany was reduced to-day from 4', to 4 percent.This, it \u2018« believed, will further stimulate gold imports.Big Order for Iron.(Canadian Associated Press.)

St.Johns, Que., June 18.\u2014It was stated this morning that another sensation ID the Banque de St.Jean care will be sprung when the special hearing is opened in the Court House here on Saturday morning before Judge Lafontaine.Counsel for Mr.Rtov have made another move in the case.This was an applica: tion before Judge I.afontaine for a writ of prohibition.The petition asked that the two charges entered cgainst Mr.Roy, that of \u2018making false returns,\u201d and of \u2018conspiracy to defraud,\u201d be declared null, because both these complaints had been received and warrants or them issued by Mr.A.Morin, J.P., who was a director and sharebolder of the Banque de Si.Jean.It ies claimed by counsel for Mr.Roy.that Mr.Morin's interests in the case disqualified him from receiving complaints and issuing warrants against officers of the bank.Judge l.afontaine, after accepting the petition, ordered that it be forwarded to Mr.F.W.Hibbard, K.C., Crown Prosecutor, and that argument on it he heard without delay.In the petition for a writ of prohibition, Mr.Roy is named as petitioner, and Magistrate Lanctot as respondent.The appearance of the nome of the latter as respondent has caused a infld sensation in this town, as the public is at a loss to understand such a move on the pari of Mr.Roy\u2019s atterneys.The petition.it is understood.will set up that Mr.Morin, J.P., who heard the complaints and issued the warrants for the arrest of Messrs, Roy.L'Heureux and Beaudoin, did so as an interested party in thes bank, and will request that a writ be issued prohibiting Magistrate Lanctot from procceding further with the pre- limiuary investigation.Counsel for Mr.P.Beaudoin, the assistant manager of the Banque de St.Jeun, are opposed to the proceedings which tho attorneys for Mr.Roy are taking to quash the action and to disqualily Magistrate Lanctot.Mr.R.A.E.Greenshields, K.C., of Montreal, who is looking after the interests of Mr.Beaudoin, informed the \u2018Witness\u2019 that personally he was not irc favor of the writ of prohibition.\u2018Without expressing a definite opinion.\u2019 said Mr.Greenshields, \u2018as to whether or not a writ of prohibition based upon the fact of Mr.Morin, who heard the complaints, and issued the warrants, would bold on account of his being a director and shareholder in the bank, I have advised my client, Mr.Beaudoin, not to enter any proceedings of such a nature, but io proceed at once with the preliminary investigation before Magistrate Lanctot.Mr.Roy, who was believed to be a wealthy man, is lying in hed in jail here, and is said to be seriously ill.Last night.his family physician.Dr.Joval, of Montreal, was summoned to St.Johns to attend him.\u201cWe have practically given up hope of obtaining bail,\u2019 said Mr.A.D.Girard.counsel for the prisoner, last night.\u2018All Mr.Roy\u2019s friends were fair weather ones, and now they realize that his money has gone, they have all deserted him.\u2019 Mr.Girard stated that if Mr.Roy's {ll- ness is declared to be serious, the attorneys will make application to have him released on that account.\u2018We are not going to allow him to die in jail,\u201d said Mr.Girard., In the meantime the preliminary investigation before Maxistraie Lanctot into the charges against the accused bank nfficials has been adjourned until Tuesday to de- clde points raised bw counsel.CONTINENTAL RIVALRY FOR EXPORT OF WESTERN GRAIN AND PRODUCE.Opportunities Montreal Has Lost That Would Have Ensured Supremacy if Advantage Had Been Taken of Them.\u2018To my mind there appears to be an enormous amount of ignorance in the minds of men in high places in regard to natural conditions, that the exercise of a little ordinary commonsense would remove.and this subject of the relative advantages of Montreal and New York as shipping ports shows this incomp- tence up in the plainest way.\u2019 A gentleman whose knowledge of mercantile and marine matters is well known.was discussing the subject that is vexing the minds of the merchants and transportation interests York\u2014the \u2018discrimination\u2019 by the rail ways in favor of Montreal\u2014and ns vicw_point makes the present condition of things appear .insignicant.Instead of (Canadians congratulating themselves on their successful competition for the handling of the export business of the whale of that part of the North Ameri can continent which uses the ports on the Great Lakes a sits outlets, a broad view of present conditions reveals a mass of lost opportunities, neglected chances and wasted energy.\u2018There is absolutely no sane argument to be advanced against an all water route for the cheap handing of freizht, by any other system; and we have here in Canada the foundation of a svstem of waterways that have been developed by nature along the course of the least resistance, chat gives us every advantage over every other outlet from this continent.\u2019 \u2018And what have we done with these advantages\u201d Almost nothing\u2014and worse than nothing.when we look at some aspects of the case.We have this highway to the sea-always had 1t- and yet it has not been developed.The opportunity has been before the country for vears to secure for itself the bulk of the freight and trade of the West and North-West, along the route that it should logically follow: but it has been diverted to other channels, and it is only when the intelligence of those who do the business, is appealed to thronglt their pockets, that we begin to recover what 5 Wednesdays, Thur are
