THE NEWS.\u2014 Mombassa, British East Africa, Mar.10.\u2014Mombassa is preparing already Lo welcome ex-President Rooseve.t, when he lands here the latiec part of next month on his much-heralded African trip, and the coming of.the former Provident of the United States has given a decided imrpetus to the iuteresc IR the present hunting season.The gevernor or the Protec.orate, Lieut.-Col.Sir James Haycs Sadler, is getting up a programme of welcome and entertsin- ment for the distipguished visitor, but in spite of these avin gem nts the zveet- ing to Mr.coswvail will be more to the great eportsnian who:e fame is well known to local Juniers, than to the former President.Last African sportsmen were highly grasificd to learn that Mr.Roosevelt had, rfussd the offer of the authorities to grant him a special Liunting license, which womd have permitted to kill gamz to an unlimiled extent, instead of confining himself! to the two elepbants, twp rhinoceros, | two hippopotamus, etc, of the gular ai- cense.Lions and Jcoparde are clashed as vermnn, and consequently no license to kill them is required.- The whit: pulation of Mombassa has heard much of Mr, Recosevelts per sonality.and in a

rains\u2019 is {rom the end of January to the end of April).The prospects for good hunting this season are considered excellent.Many of the settlers in the outlying districis, realizing the increasing interest in the prospects for sport because of the coming of Mr.Rcosevelt, are vo'untarily sending information about the move; ments of game.According to a despatch received here to-day, a record group of lions, numbering thirty-two, was seen on the Nandi Plateau yesterday, at a point about fifty miles north is on the west side of the Great Rift valley).Ameng them were three huge males.Four families of giraffes have.been seen at Makindu, two hundred miles inland from here on the line of the Uganda Railroad, and elephante have been scen at Elburgon, 475 miles irland on the railway, and along the Sabaki River, not far to the north of Mombassa.R.J.Cuninghame, the noted English big game hunter and field naturalist, who is to be guide to and general manager of the Roosevelt pir'y, has been here for some time completing the pre parations for the trip into the wild- ernces, as well as the shcoting and collecting excursions along the line of the railroad.He is selecting and hiring native porters for the exp:dition.He takes only experienced m=n, who are known ta be courageous, and they possess great physical strength.The \u2018Cafart\u2019 kit, in oth r words, the camp equipment for the work in the open, is ariving from London, and ali will be \u2018in readiness when Mr.Roosevelt ar rives.\u2019 The railway car used over the line as far as Port Florence by other dietin-

its details, and provides the traveller with every comfort.Everything points to a sucoess- ful stay in British East Africa, and Uganda for Mr.Roosevelt; the natives are peaceful, game is plentiful aud the people of Mombassa are waiting eageriy to extend him a welcome.The foregoing is the first direct eable despatch from British East Africa on the subject of Mr.Roosevelt's trip since it was learned, last year, that he was going to Africa.It was filed about noon on March 10, by the Associated Press correspondent at Mombassa, and reached New York some hours later, owing to the seven hours\u2019 difference in time, and the great distance travelled.The message came over the deep sea cables from Mombassa around the East coast of Africa to Aden, and thence by way of Suez, Port Said, Malta, and Gibraltar to New York.THE PRESIDENT MUCH PLEASED.Oyster Bay, March 10.\u2014Former President Roosevelt, after a day spent in New York in consultation with the publishers of the magazine for which he has contracted to write an account of his experiences while in Africa, returned to-night to Oyster Bay.When informed that the people of Mombassa and British East Africa were preparing to welcome him, not as the former President of the United States, but as a noted hunter and sportsman, Mr.Roosevelt expressed much pleasure.\u2018I am glad to hear that,\u201d said he, \u2018as I wish to travel as a private citizen.It is with the keenest anticipation that 1 look forward to my trip to Africa.\u2018I shall be very busy during the remainder of the time I remain at Oyster Bay, packing up and

SHORT SITE OF NO.13 POLICE STATION IN JULY LAST.Ald.Proulx.chairman of the Police Committee, app:ared before the Npe- cial Committee.which 1s investigating thie matter of the construction of No.13 police station, and, on a question oi privilege, asked to Le allowed to correct part of the evidence he gave under oath before the committee in January last.Last night Ald.Proulx said that his memory was at fault when he was giving evidence in January last.\u201d He now begged leave to say that he was informed by Mr.Godin and Ohief Cam- peau in July last that the land wis eighty feet deep.and not ninety tret, as at first stated.\u2018The fact of the matter is,\u2019 Alderman Proulx added, \u2018I was 1ll in January.and ought not to have given cvidence then: 1 was also depressed on account of the charges that were being made against me before the public.It was the day after 1 gave my evidence and after I had a conversation with Chief Campeau and Mr.Godin, the architect, that I recalled the fact chat I had been informed that the land was ten feet short.Asked why he did not -eport the shortage to his committee at the time he received notification from the architect, Alderman Yroulx replied that he did not consider it was a matter of any great importance at the time.He understood that the architect had full powers under the contract te change the plans of the building in accordance with the dimensions of the site, and that he would report upon the whole circumstances when the work was done and final settlements made.Mr.N.K.Lafamme, who appeared for Alderman Robinson, at whose instigation this investigation was held, referred to a transcript of the stenographic notes of Ald Proulx\u2019s January evidence in order to remind him that he had not once, but repeatedly asserted that he had no knowledge until December that the site of the police station was te feet short.' Mr.J.E.Labelle, advocate for Alder man Proulx, objected to the old questions on this point being brought up scriatim.Alderman Proulx, he said, had explained that he had made a mistake in regard to the date, and that covered all the questions that had been put to him on this point at the January meeting of the committee.Mr.Laflamme, in reply to the objection, remarked that he was not asking these questions to disaredit Alderman Proulx at all.Ie desired to put ¢hem in bis own interest, so that the corrections should be complete.The committée overruled the objection and Mr.Jaflamme accordingly proceeded with his questions.Alderman Proulx replied that his every statement that he was not informed of the shortage in July was an error of memory, for he was so Informed dur ing that month, both by Chief Cam- peau and Mr.Godin.Regarding his statement before the Police Committee in December last that he acted to protect the architect, Ald.Proulx wished to correct this also.He had not acted to protect Mr.Godin.Alderman Robinson\u2014Do you remember that on Dec.7 last you spoke to me to the effect that you knew of the changes that werz going on at the time, and that the architect and the chief had an undersanding that certain reductions were to be made in the contract price Alderman Proulx replied that he dad not think he said there was any understanding between the chlef and the architect, but he remembered speakmg on the subject to Ald.Robinson, and referring to the fact that there would be reductions in the price as a matter of course.In reply to Alderman L.A.Lapointe, the chairman of the Police Committee said that Mr.Campeau was the head of the police department.Alderman A.Lapointe\u2014So that when he knows there 1s something wrong who is responsible for reporting it\u2014you or he ?\u2018Not me,\u2019 replied Aldermwn Proulx, \u2018I am no more responsible than any other member of the committee.\u2019 Alderman Lapointe\u2014Would you have been surprised if the chief had written to the committee reporting that this lard was ten feet short ?Ald.Proulx\u2014I think it was witain his jurisdiction to do so.\u2018Then you think the chief neglected his duty in not doing 60?said the chairman, Ald.Lavallée.\u2018No, 1 do not say that,\u201d promptly replied Ald.Proulx, and then he added, \u2018fT am not prepared to say that.lt is for the committee to decide.\u2019 Witness, in further replying to Ald.L.A.Lapointe, said that it was of course Chief Campeau who made a requisition to the committee whenever money was wanted.\u2018And is it not curious.\u201d persisted Ald.Lapointe, \u2018that he should make no report to the committee about these changes when money was being paid out for the work?Ald.Proulx\u2019s answer was that he had nothing to say about this, Ald.Carter was proceeding to put a question to Ald.Proulx regarding the police station which is being constructed on St, Lawrence street by the same contractor, when the witness exclaimed that he understood the committee were investigating No.13 and not No.12 police station.\u2018Please wait until I have finished ray question,\u201d remarked Ald.Carter.\u2018Yon will remember that the contract for No 12 station was given after the work of No.13 was in progress.What I wish \u2018mittee adjourned until 7.3 things stand out in [oF XY Thursday, March 11.7.| \u2014\u2014\u2014 to ask you i&\u2014Do you remy asked Mr.Godin, before - was actually accorded, :: .No.13 station was being torily, and that he repli;

yesterlay aïter- noon, that resulted in the serious Injury of two men, one of whom has lost an arm and may die.The injured men are Alphonse Mar- leau, forty-two years of age, of Hawkes- bury, who was employed as a snowplough foreman, and Jean Leger, forty- eight years of age, a section man, According to an official report > the affair sent to the Grand Trunk superintendent at Ottawa, a Canadian Northern engine has been placing cars on the Grand Trunk Siding, and was baca-ng down to the junction switch, when it struck the snow plough, in which the injured men happened to be at the time, and piled it, wrecked, into the ditch.Marleau and Leger were first taken to Hawkesbury for medical attention, and it was found necessary to amputate the foreman\u2019s left arm, which was badly crushed above the elbow.He was also suffering from internal Injuries.Leger was suffering from a broken rib and bruises, On the arrival of the Ottawa tram for Montreal, which was about an hour late, the injured men were brought in to the General Hospital.A wrecking gang was sent to the scene and the wreck cleared in time to allow passage of the evening train froon Glen Robertson.Mr.Morley Donaldson,

\u2018boys,\u2019 as they are called in the Springhill coal mines, or really the underground drivers in the mines, were on strike to-day, because a horse had been killed in the pit, and the management, alleging that this was through carelessless, ordered that the value of the horse, $150, should be made good by the \u2018boys\u2019 who caused the accident.He was out of his territory, contrary to regulations, thus causing a collision.The \u2018boys,\u2019 after one day\u2019s idleness, decided tonight to go back to work to-morrow, trusting that the company would not enforce its claims for the value of the horse.This conclusion was reached after a protracted meeting.Had they remained out to-morrow 1,500 men would have been idle, for coal could not be cut and hoisted without the drivers to move jt.The Springhill mines are running full time and all hands are employed.\u2018The U.M.W.A.have no jurisdiction over the \u2018boys.\u2019 ENGINE COLLIDED WITH IT AND\u2019 gress,

and political virtue at Quebec if it succeeds in having the parliamentary barroom reopened.Ite plea is that the British House of Commons has a number of open bars or buffets.When did our friends become so British?While these Nationalists are agitating for the restoration of a bar, whose record is melancholy, we find temperance legislation for Scotland being pushed in the British House of Commons with intelligence and determination.A Scottish local option measure has been read a second time, which supplies the machinery for any locality to be able to vote against the granting of a license for the eale of exciseable liquors, or for a limitation of such licenses: and the bill also provides that in all licenses granted after May 28, 1910, the hour of opening shall be ten o'clock.The enforcement of the latter clause would be a great boon to those workingmen who are tempted to take a morning drink and presently get too much and lose their day and perhaps their job.The many eminent advocates of the bill pleaded for sympathy for the temptations and surroundings of the poor, and Mr.Barnes, the labor member for Glasgow, said from his knowledge of the workers of Scotland and the lives of their fami- ies he knew they desired to have the temptation of drink removed.In this they are an improvement upon Mr.Armand Lavergne, member for Mont- magny, the proposer for the restoration of the bar in the Quebec House.Yet the disester of the bar to members of parliament has been quite as great proportionally as to the \\poor of Scotland.Anyone who knows anything of our public life can count up scores who have been ruined or injured by the habit of drinking cultivated either at Ot tawa or Quebec.loon temptations around the Houses of # must be under-, ation of the House bar.The British government strongly favors the Scottish local option act and the restriction of drinking everywhere, and we cannot but think that Sir Lomer Gouin and his colleagues will be persuaded to follow a like policy, and as a first step refuse once for all to restore the bar in the House when the eerious business of the country demands the attention of clear- hcaded, not muddled and whiskey-soak- ed men.While the love of money is undoubted- \u2018ly the root of much evil, money itself is an incalculable power for good.Money well used is that devoted by Mr.Car negie to heroes.The deeds of some of its beneficiaries make one glow with pride in and love for human nature.A particularly thrling case of herosm is that of three Flamborough fischer men, reported to the trustees\u2019 of the Carnegie Hero Fund by the Flamborough Board of Guardians.Fourteen fishing cobbles were engaged in line fishing off the north end, one day last month, when a severe storm of wind suddenly arose.Ome of the boats, of which the occupants were a fisherman and two grown-up soms, got into difficulties.Observing the dangerous predicament of their comrades, Melchior Chadwick, George Gibbon, and Thomas Levig Major, who were in another cobble which had almost reached the harbor, turned aside from their course, and, attended by great.danger, took on board the three men, whose boat was swamped.Alas! a wave of unusual height almost immediately thereafter struck the rescuers\u2019 boat, and the six men were thrown into the water and drowned.Now comes the consolation of the Carnegie fund.The trustees have arranged to pay fifteen dollars a month each to the fathers of Gibbon and Chadwick, who are od and dependent on their sons for support, while Chadwick\u2019 widow and child will also be provided for out of the fund.We read of other equally deserving cases if not eo thrilling and tragic as the one here recounted, and we hold it to be a fine thing to be able to recognize deeds of There are enough sa- heroic gallantry in a tangibl= fashion, especially when it takes the form of relieving the necessities of the families of the heroes of humble life.The man who conceived such a use for his money, while yet he is alive, is acquainted with both goodness and greatness.en\" While the majority of geniuses or talented people die without legitimate successors, there are a few notable cases to the contrary.There was Lord Chat- ham, for instance, and his greater son, William Pitt.There was Isaac Disraeli and his more famous son Benjamin.In this category, too, may be mentioned Queen Victoria and King Edward.Other cases that come to mind are the Bachs, Dumas pere and Dumas fils, the Irvings, the Darwins, the Mills, the Arnolds, the Herschells, the Cecils, and, a case to hand, the Du Mauriers.Du Maurier, senior, was well known by his society pictures in \u2018Punch\u2019 and his novel of \u2018Trilby\u2019 and others written in later life.\u2018Trilby\u2019 was not exactly a masterpiece for all time, but it had the imprimatur of \u2018Harper\u2019s, had novel and exciting situations, and became widely popular.Noyr Du Maurier\u2019s son is also popular with his play \u2018An Englishman\u2019s Home,\u2019 which is having a success which promises to.rival that of \u2018Trilby It may be objected that in both these latter cases it has been notoriety that has been achieved, and that little or no genius has been displayed.That may be, but the notoriety is interesting, as it is of much the same character in the case of father and son.There were no such juniors to Shakespeare, Ben Jonson or Samuel Johnson, Dryden, Pope, Dickens, Thackeray, Browning, Shelley, Southey, Tennyson, and hosts of others who stand alone of all their tribe.oven\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The problem of saving the babies is one that confronts this city in an unusual degree for our infant mortality is very heavy.Any suggestions from outside are therefore valuable.In England, the other day, a deputation from the National Conference on Infant Mortality waited upon Mr.Asquith and Mr.John Burns to put before them the actual waste of child life, as indicated by the really appalling rate of mortality of infants under twelve months, and also to call attention to the growth into womanhood and manhood of children who had never had the chance to develop into the raw material of good work people and good citizens, The two ministers assured the deputation ot the government\u2019s sense of gravity and urgency of the question, its hearty eym- pathy with its aims, and ite determina- \u2018tion to advance along the lines of practical legislation.Already a great deal has been dène by the Local Government Board, and this has resulted, Mr.Burns Parliament in both cities without in- pragnese era ACIER a mdm etes PAA em he 4 4 2 THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS = the ameliorating influences have been the Notification of Births Act and the Children\u2019s Act, and Mr.Burns has faith that if the Housing and Town Planning Bill, the Milk Bill, and the Notification of Tuberculosis Bill.now before parliament, should pases, a further reduction of infant mortality is assured.Another interesting statement ed the deputation by having already set up a separate food sub-department of the Local Government Board, and : had specially remitted to the heads of the sub-departments the question of baby foods.This last is specially important, as a large proportion of infant deaths is caused by mal-nutrition.In thie city, that proportion is enormous, as has been insisted upon by our health authorities, and it is interesting to learn that our brothers acrces the sea are so earnestly engaged in this battle for the saving of the lives of the children and giving them a chance to grow into healthy men and women.: There are ghouls who would steal from their grandmothers, and there are *brokers\u2019 who, in their rapacious lust for wealth, stop at no falsehood that 1s calculated to influence the stock market.Those brokers or wreckers\u2014 known to the stock market fraternity as \u2018bears\u2014who practically make ther money by betting against prosperity, and whose greatest enjoyment is a financial \u2018Black Friday\u2019 of their own achievement, stop at nothing in the invention of rumors of dire disasters\u2014 wars, the death of great personages, earthquakes, conflagrations, and what not.The latest instance to hand was the Wall Street rumor yesterday of the death of the King.So far as we can judge by the despatch from London this morning, the King is about as well as a gentleman of his age and mode of life could be expected to be.We read that at Biarritz, where he is now staying, he has spent two hours of a morning walking along the coast, and watched the golfers on the links for some time during the afternoon.'I'hese are not special signs of poor health.Neither is the fact that the Prince of Wales has been called upon to perform more public duties than usual\u2014if such is the case.Although the Prince is not a notoriety hunter, he has always been at the call of duty, and has performed father\u2019s advancing years the son should assume more and more some of the more omerous public functions at which Royalty is called upon to be present.We are quite willing to admit that the King is not so young or as active as he used to be; it may be also that he has some physical disability, as so many people have; but the accounts of his activity and generally good spirits belie the allegations of the croakers that he is\u2018a creaking door\u2019\u2014and even a creaking door sometimes \u2018hangs long on its hinges\u201d An Emperor once kept a man to remind him that he must die.A king once had a sword hung over his head by a thread, so to remind him.Kings nowadays need no such device.The Kings life is, of course, uncertain, as every man\u2019s is, but it is fortunately not in the hands of those who would shorten it for tie sake of a few basely-earned dollars.LABELS.Senator Ettleson, speaking for the new woman, demanded in Congress that there should be distinct titles for married and unmarried men, as there have always been for married and unmarried women.The good senator, or those he is fooling, thinks that Congress has power over the language.When King Canute was hailed by the well-re- warded bards of his day as all powerful he taught in parable to Englishmen and English kings of all time to come the principles of limited monarchy by or dering the tide not to rise.A certain Roman emperor ecreed the use of two new Roman letters which appear in some inscriptions, but which did not survive.The only emperor we know of who has made a like experiment since was Mr.Roosevelt, who ordered the adoption of the revised spelling in government publications, but Anglo- Saxon conservatism rose in revolt against so sane a decision.The president had to spell his own messages in Johnsonese.We should therefore have no hope of Congress ever being induced to desire such a change as Senator Et- tleson proposes or of its being able to do anything in the matter even if tried.Even the revised Bible has not come into use, though there is no one who questions that it is truer to the original than the one we use.There have always been distinctions between single and married women.In French it is Madame and Mademoiselle.In German it is Frau and Fraeulein.In yr Paproye mo \u2018says, in a decline of infant mortality | è

to miseus for married women, and in a prettier way to mies for unmarried women.In new England, however, where the usages of the protectorate and restoration survive in rural use, we find miss in common use for married women and madam for Dowagers.Unmarried women are commonly spoken of without title.It is indecd considered politeness to call them simply Sairav or Mairy.If the ladies wish to distinguish by label between married and unmarried men they will have to do the labelling themselves.They can call the married men master, and those who are open to that preferment mister, or if they do not like the suggestion of that, they can put it the other way; a man will remain master while he is unmarried, and will become only mister when he is under bonds.For ourselves, we should like to see the feminine titles reformed.To have to address and publicly speak of a respected matron as missus and to have no other word for two or more missuses than mesdames is very trying\u2014so much so that the latter word is out of use except where absolutely unavoidable.NEEDS A NEW OVEN \u2014 RECORDER\u2019S ADVICE TO BAKER WHO SOLD LIGHT WEIGHT BREAD.\u2014 Lewis Jacobs, a baker of Cadieux

Congress.\u2014\u2014 THE \u2018PRESSE\u2019 SAYS IT IS A SCHEME OF LORD NORTH- CLIFFE'S.\u2014 | chosen.The \u2018Presse\u2019 devotes a lengthy \u2018leader\u2019 to the Congress of Journali=ts which 15 to meet in June next in London.Opening wilh the slateme.u that lord Northeliffe is the soul of *he movement, the writer denounces the man- rer in which the representatives were Montreal, with four-fifths ot the people speaking the French language, 13 fending two English-speaking and one French-speaking representatives, although the combined circulation of the three French dailies is much larger than that llon of miners becuma i of the four Englsh journals.The decision arrived at to choose only the workmen and the cn proprietors of local da.les, leaving aside the editors, 1s also criticized.The fact system of invitations.Leaving aside the question of invita tions, which he considers of secondary importance, the writer takes up the subject of the conference itself, and declares that Lord Northcliffe, \u2018a Tory ot the Chamberlain school,\u201d having acqun- ed the London \u2018Times,\u2019 wishes to iran the clectors of the British Isles to Chamberlain doctrines, namely, a tantt reform, abandonment of free trade, and the adoption of protection, and he has invited the Canadian journalists with a view to convert them and bring the Canadian press to espouse the cause of the London \u2018Times,\u2019 and promote a fiscal alliance between the United Kingdom, Canada and the other British colones.On this ground, the \u2018Presse\u2019 considers it a duty to protest, even iow, against what may be done by the London ccn- ference.It is the duty of Canada to preserve absolute independence in fiscal matters.We must be free to do as we please in that connection, without binding ourselves to the fiscal policy ot Great Britain.Let the British people fix their tariff as they see fit, that is their own business, but to bind Canada to adopt the fiscal policy of Britain, or vice versa, would coxstitute a danger, not only for our own country, but also for the future integrity and prosperity of the Empire.Continuing, the writer says that.for the above-mentioned reasons.the Tana- dian journalists 'must be on their guard against the seductions of the receptions to be furnished by Lord Northcliffe and his millions._ After stating that the policy indicated in this article is the one which Sir Wilfrid \u2018Laurier successfully defended: at the Imperial Conference of 1907, the writer adds that there would be cause for regret if the Canadian journalists.invited by Lord Northcliffe, should work for the destruction of what was done bv the Canadian Premier in 1907.The next paragraph in the article reads as follows:\u2014\u2018Besides.the \u2018Times,\u2019 under the direction of Lord North- cliffe, has become a discredited journal.He has made of it a vellow journal, which no longer has its former influence among the Englieh people.and.in fact, one has the right to ask why the Canadian journalists accepted the invitation of that baron, whose patent of mobility is of quite recent date, and who has no authority or title to call this conference of journalists\u2019 The article then recalls the fact that Lord Northeliffe and his paper voiced the \u2018feelings of those who attacked Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2019s government during the last Federal elections, that the \u2018Times\u2019 denounced Canadian public men and the Grand Trunk Pacific enterprise.and tried' to create a panic among the shareholders of the old Grand Trunk Company.The article concludes as follows: \u2014 The \u2018Presse,\u2019 -which dnes not need any invitation from Lord Northeliffe to watch in T.ondon or elsewhere the primordial interests of Canada.will be in the cani- tal of the Empire in Tune next\u2014at its own expense\u2014to keep its readers posted on the dehates of this conference of journalists.\u2019 STREET RAILWAYS\u2019 PLAINT \u2014 OBJECT TO NEW FORM OF ANNUAL RETURNS.\u2014 A meeting of the executive committee of the Canadian Street Railway Association is in progress in the Windsor Hotel this afternoon, discussing the schedules or forms of annual returns which the Dominion comptroller of railway statistics has prepared for the use of electric railway companies.The committee consists of Messrs.J.D.Fraser, secretary and treasurer, Ottawa Electric Railway, who is presiding; W.G.Ross, managing director Montreal Street Railway; E.A.Evans, general manager Quebec Railway, Light & Power Co.; J.M.Smith.comptroller, Toronto Railway Co., and W.H.Moore.general manager Toronto & York Radial Railway.Seen to-day by a \u2018Witness\u2019 reporter, a member of the committee said the comptroller had practically adopted the form of returns required by the Inter- State Commercial Commission, which was, in many respects, unsuitable to Canadian conditions.When that commission adopted its forms it consulted the companies interested, but that courtesy had not been accorded the Canadian Street Railway Association by the Dominion statistician.lane LECTURE TO ENGINEERS, \u2018Reinforced Concrete Construction\u2019 will be

the Quebec Street Rallway, is in dhe city.He is an extremely modest man.He is shrewd in bis management of the affairs of the com- pny aad is not always inclined to give away the secrets of success of this well corporation.states, however, that the present year will prove the most successful on record motwithatanding that ths has been dhe severest winter in years, as.to Continued storms, but the management was equal to the ccca- sion, and with the exception of three hours the service has been kept in cos- etant operation.Th!'s is certainly a ma\u2019- ner of congratulation, and testifies to the Gapabilhittes cf Mr.Evans and hs acsistanre dn combating king storm.\u2018It is quite true,\u2019 eaid Mr.Evans, when asked this monning by the \u2018Witness\u2019 for information regarding the street raflway.\u2018that extensive improvements are under conalderation, and, Af carried out, wi mean extended operations giving the company a much greater earning capacitv.It will mean the expenditure of a large amount of money, but I may tell you that the management bes no hesitation in going on with what I expect will mean a new era in the history of the Quebec Street Railway.The earnings th's year will shew a large increase over last, buf, of counse, this is largely due *o the tercentenary celebration last summer.On the other hand, it must not be forgotten that Quebec City ds extending on every atde, meceszitating in the near future more tracks and cars.Do not lose sight cf the fact thet the tour'st traffic to the Ancient Capital is inoreasing each year as the charms of Quebec amd its historic associations are becoming better known throughout the continent.\u2019 i \u2018Another strong feature dn connection with the development of the Quebec Railway, Hes in the fact that it holds what is known as a perpetual franchise.It ob- tatned a thirty yearns\u2019 franchise, and ths haa yet to run amother e'ghteen years.The city, at the end of that period, has the right to

Associa- ticn and induce the miners of the East to throw dn their lot with the American As- ecciation.In fact it is the ail-absorbineg topic of convereaiion and general unrest is felt in financial and

agitation being carnied on by the organization, known as the United Mine Workers of America, to gain control of the labor at the mines, is fraught with much danger to the Nova Scotia coal mining

hour some twenty-three thousand shares had been traded in, and activity throughout \u2018continued durirg the afternoon session, and about flffy thousand ehares were taken up.It is understood that maby brokers are holding their orders with the expectation of securing the stock at a slightly lower figure later on, but the out of town demands, as well as from loca Itradens, would indicate that añ upward mevement in the market price will continue.Those who are behind this «tock believe that it is de- siined to become one of the most active iuformation received from Cobalt regarding the mine

ADVANCE, IS THE OPINION OF PATTEN Big Chicago Grain Broker Denies He is in Control of Market \u2014 Discusses Outlook Chicago, March 11.\u2014Mr.James A.Pat- ten, the undisputed monarch of the wheat market of the world, has made the interesting prediotion that wheat will go to $1.25.\u2018Do nct believe,\u2019 said Mr.Paften, \u2018that I control the market.I have not tried to corner wheat.No man is big enough to do that, All the short eelling in the world cannot prevent wheat from going upward.\u2019 Mr.Patten has recently shown an inclination to talk more freely of his wheat deals, which have attracted attention on two continents.\u2018lI have every confidence,\u201d continued Mr.Paiten, \u2018that the wheat market will go upward and that wheat will .be eelling at $1.25 a bushel within a short time.\u2019 \u2018If you comtrol the market absolutely, as is claimed?Mr.Patten was asked.\u2018I have not tried to corner wheat.Har- rer, the Cincinnati banker, tried to corner \u2018wheat twenty years ago and he was taught a Jeszon that no one who has anything to do with the wheat market will ever forget.He was smashed and broken and pulled down eeveral banks to ruin in the crash.\u2019 \u2018Traders eay that you control the cash wheat of the country,\u201d the \u2018wheat king\u2019 avas informed.\u2018All the cash wheat I own is here in Chicago in elevators.I am eelling it every day to the mills.Our firm sells from fifty to eeventy-five thousand bushels a day to the mills.We always have cash wheat for sale.That js our business.I dent control the cash wheat for there ls 14,000,000 buehe's at the mills in the nor.h \u2018Will they eell this wheat?was inquired.\u2018You know they will not,\u201d was the frank answer.\u2018Do not make a eensational etory out of the wheat market for there is really nothing sensational in it.I have simply followed the market and have nothing to do with the price.The law of supply and demand regulates the price and I bought wheat because I thought that the eupply is far below the demand and I still think eo.The crop in Argent'na is estimated to be 50.000.000 bushels eh-rt a-d the best experts in Eurcpe figure that the merkets there will need 50,000,000 bushels of wheat thay have not been able to get.\u2019 \u2018How about the lcesas of the miilton- naires of Wall Street.who took recent advice and sold ehort\u201d \u2018I know nothing about the r losses,\u2019 said Mr.Patten.\u2018Al! I know is that there was bea~ movement when whear wir at 210.6 to $1.08 a bushel.the short sell\u2018mz in the world cannot stop wheat from gcing upward.\u2019 , CHICAGO MARKETS Messrs.J.S.Bache & Co., Bell Tele- phone Building, rEport the closing prices in Chicago to-day as follows:\u2014 Open.High.Low.Close Wihea*, May 11444 115 113% 115 July L100 10334 10234 10334 Corn, May .6844 6814 6:5 6814 July 6714 675 67 6744 Oats, May 541% 534 54 554 July .\u2026 49% 4935 49% Pork, May .17.82 18.00 17.80 17.97 July .17.85 18.00 17.80 17,95 Lard, May .10.27 10.35 19.22?15.3213 July .10.35 10.45 10.35 10.45 Shent be, May 9.33 9.45 9.30 9.45 July » e »s ees 9.60 9.45 have \u2019 However, all , : Hogs\u2014 Receipts, Stook Brokers NICHOLS & MARLER 21 HQSPITAL STREET, Montreal, Members Montreal Steak Exchange, Established 1878 INVESTMENT BROKERS Corvespondense invited.Orders sarefully sitended se \u2014 MANITOBA WHEAT IS ONE CENT LOWER\u2014MILLERS WELL SUPPLIED Toronto, March 11.\u2014The local wheat is very quiet at present and the market is rather easier.Millers are ,as a rule, fairly well supplied with winter wheat for the present, and are not in the market extensively.Exporters are not taking it at rhe prices holdems are asking.Manitoba wheat is cne cent lower and quiet, as millers are buying sufficient solely for present use.Oats are offering a \u2018little more freely around 46c, at which price 6,000 bushels were sold to-day ou the board.There is scme demand for the higher grades of barley, which are quoted firm.trade in CATTLE MARKETS Chicago, March 11.\u2014Cattle\u2014Receipts estimated at 4,000;

Miss S.Long, as the Fairy Queen; Miss Ryan, as the Fauwy Discon- lent; Mr.W.A.Tremayne, as Baron Pumpoline; Mr.G.Rowan, as the CINDERELLA AND THE PRINCE\u2014ONE OF THE PRETTY SCENES BEING PRODUCED AT STANLEY HALL IN AID OF CINDERELLA AND MR.G Ec x RE Le F5 > ;

would do something that would be of service to his race and his province.In regard to Mr.Bourassa\u2019s complaints about the bel law, he said he knew the member for St.Hyacinthe was not a lawyer, but he never realized it so much as when that gentleman spoke of the libel law.He said that he had never imprisoned any journalist for libel, and there was a person not very far from him who should know

opportunity for the organization of co-operative societies, Mr.Monk has taken a deep interest in this question of co-operative societies for several years past, and two years ago secured an exhaustive investigation into the whole subject of co-operation by a special committee of Parliament.The report: of this committee endorsed the principle of Mr.Monk\u2019s bill, which was then taken up by the Minister of Labor and carried through the Lower House last session as a government measure.in this province.Coming to the educational poliey of the government, \u2018the premier declared to primary

accordingly rejected.Mr.Monk asserted that the retail merchants had misapprehended the motive of the promoters of this bill.They had gained the impression, altogether unfounded, that the bill contemplated the attraction to Canada of European capital for competition in the form of co-operative stores with the retail traders of the Dominion.The truth was, Mr.Monk said, that the present bill was eonceived entirely for the benefit of the working classes.The bill had .been opposed by Mr.Mulvey, on behalf \u2018of the Ontario Government, on ground that co-operative societies seeking incorporation in that province would have no difficulty in obtaining charters from Toronto.But, said Mr.Monk, the Civil Service Association of Ottawa, upon applying to the Ontario Government for the incorporation of a cooperative association, had been informed that there was no legislation in existence which would permit of their doing so.The discussion of the co-operative bill before the Senate one year ago had shown, he declared, that some of the Senators knew nothing at all about this subject.Mr.Monk urged the government to re-introduce the bill.The Hon.Rodolphe Lemieux replied that the Government had not at , all receded from its recognition of the value of co-operation.The bill, however, had been persistently opposed by Senators of both political parties.The question of provincial rights had also been raised against it, and the Retail Merchants\u2019 Association had strenuously | opposed this measure.For -his own part he had been impressed by the feeling against the measure.He thought this feeling was due to prejudice.Still provincial rights and provincial prejudices were, both of them, matters for consideration, and must be respected.The sentiment in favor of co-operation had not yet reached any intense form.In Ontario and Quebec the sentiment seemed to be against this principle, and he thought that the measure should stand pending the better education of the public on this question.Mr.Ralph Smith (Nanaimo) expressed the opinion that Mr.Lemieux was on the down grade on this question, and urged the government to again press the co-operative bill on the Senate.\u2019 the l DOMINION PARLIAMENT In Reply to Mr.Monk the Hon, Mr.Lemieux States That the Government Will Not Reintroduce a Co-operative Societies Bill Until the Public Become More Educated on the Subject.Mr.Russell (Toronto) read a newspaper clipping to show that a large number of immigrants in destitute circumstances had arrived in Toronto.The Minister of the Interior replied that his desire was that the departmental regulations in this respect should be strictly observed.He promised inquiry into the statements which Mr.Russell had made.In reply to an inquiry by Mr.A.C.Boyce (Algoma), \u2018the Prime Minister said that the United States Senate, in ratifying the Waterways Treaty, had added an amendment to enlarge {he rights of the United States in the waters of the St.Mary\u2019s River.This had yet to be accepted, however, by the Canadian Government.He hoped to be able to lay the treaty before Parliament in a few days.The Minister of Railways.in reply to an inquiry by Mr.H.Lennox, acknowledged receint of a resolution of the Quebec Board of Trade recommending to the government\u2019s attention the pro- pasal which has been made by Mr.J.S.Armsthong, C.E.of St.John, for the construction of a submarine viaduct to replace the fallen Quebec bridge.No action, hewever, had been taken by the government on this proposal as it was regarded as impracticable.\u2014 IN THE SENATE SENATOR McMULLEN'S \u2018STOP, LOOK, AND LISTEN' LEVEL CROSSINGS BILL.Ottawa, March 10 \u2014Senator Mc Muller's \u2018Stop, look, and listen\u2019 bill regarding level crossings, was the principal item of discussion by the Scnate at to-day\u2019s sitting.There was a lengthy talk on the second reading, the Senator declaring his cbject was not to relieve railway companies from responsibility for accidents at crossings, but to guard the public against themselves, Senator Landry raised the pertinent cuery that as the bill required persons to stop, look, and listen before crossing railway tracks, he wanted to know if it would apply to blind and deaf individuals.No answer was vouchsafed to this.Sir Richard Cartwright said for une thing he objected to making new sins by act of parliament.This bill proposed to create the new sin of not stopping befo:a crossing a railway track.e was not certain how far this Lill would interfere with the recovery of damages from a railway company by one who had suffered in an accident.Before giving it second reading he would like to submit ihe bill to the Minister of Railways.Senators Beique and Belcourt contended that the bill as drafted was objectionable.It would interfere with recovery of damages, and, in case of unwitnessed death, make recovery of damages by heira practically impossible.The debate was adiourned by Sir Richard Cartwright, who will discuss the matter with the Minister of Railways.The bill to amend the Railway Act, to facilitate taking actions against the I.C.R.and P.E.I.railways, passed committee stage, and the following bills were read the third time: To amend the Animal Contagious Diseases Act; to in- corporaie the Canadian Western Railway Company; respecting the Edmonton & Slave Lake

an inglorious ecramble ag soon as the doors were opened.As it was the room was uncomfortably packed.with those who thought they bad business there and were alloited tickets.Representatives were present from the City Council; most of the aldermen attended, while the medical, and legal fraternities contributed some of their most shining lights.The interest the case has aroused throughout the country is evinced by the fact that last evening some forty newspaper men from Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Detroit and Brantiord were el its special feature, apart irom the general attmaction a

under pressure that he had once had occa- gion to complain about the slovenly way in whicn his son Ernest had built some houses for him.He even said that Er- ever, all Mr.Blackstock\u2019s questions failed to get Mr.Kinrade to declare thau there had been a serious breach between them.Mr.Kinrade told of the viss of men to the house on evenings before the murder, and some surprise was cx- pressed by Mr.Blackstock that he had not reported the matter to the police by telephone.Even when his daughter Gertrude and Mrs.Kinrade were so frightened on the night before the murder by a man attempting to get into the house, that they shrieked aloud, he failed to; take immediate action.Mr.Kinrade | said he knew his daughter was acting In a dime theatre in Portsmouth, Va., and urged her to return home, as an actor, James Gordon Baum, was making love to her, and he objected to Florence going on the stage.Mr.Kinrade took occasion once oy twice to complain of the treatment of his danghter by the detectives.The witness denied that Florence had ever spoken to him about revolver ¢hooting.In conclusion, M-.Black- stock drew from Mr, Kinrade the refusal to swear that he did not say \u2018I knew

Toronto, and said that Mrs.Brown, who did not know her, introduced herself to her.The two did not go to Syracuse that day, but went to a reception.Miss Kinrade then came back to Hamilton, and was taken to Syracuse a week later.Returning home, she had to stop at Rochester, owing to a sprained ankle, at a house she could remember, and on a street she does not know.The same sort of thing happened at Buffalo.After this Miss Kinrade went off to Virginia with Miss Elliott, who paid her expenses on the trip.When in Richmond she herself paid $6 per week for board, while she only earned $375 a year singing in a church.The witness also outlined her career as an actress, and told how Mr.Gordon Baum proposed to her, She denied that firearms were ever used by her in shows.Miss Kinrade then told another story of the shooting.\u201d She said that a man called at the house.She contented herself with merely answering questions, and, as Mr.Blackstock never mentioned anything about shots, Miss Kinrade got to her escape without ever alluding co the shooting., Mr.Blackstock reminded her of all the other versions she \u2018had given of the occurrence, but no coherent explanation was given by the girl as to the inconsistencies.She Was on the stand over two hours.The ¢li- max came when Mr.Blackstock said suddenly: \u2018Who was that man Miss Kinrade?The girl shuddered, looked wildly around and muttered: ; \u2018I would know him if I saw him again.She then closed her eyes and fainted.Dr.White tendered her water and she revived.Mr.Blackstock explained, when the girl came around, that he did not want to press her, but said she would realize how important her evidence was.The witness said, in answer to the question about the murderer, that she wished she did know him.\u2019 .That ended

examined.Florence said that she had spent considerable time outside of her engagement as soloist at the church in Richmond, Virginia.She had considerable spare time, which was spent with a friend living there, whom she had met at McNab Street Church here.The friend resided in Montreal, and through her witness said she went to Goderich, Stratford and other places to sing at concerts.After the concerts the friend, whose name was Elliott, left for the Old Country, and was later married.Witness told of an offer she had received from a friend of Miss Elliott's to sing at Syracuse, which was about two months before she left for Vir ginia.She met the friend that wrote her, Mrs.Kenneth Brown, of Syracuse, and went to an entertainment with her, returning the next day to Hamil ton.Mrs.Brown came here a week later, and together they left for Syracuse, stopping at Mrs.Brown\u2019s home.Witnees said she was delayed a week in Syracuse through spraining her ankle.Mrs.Brown and she went to

letters from Butler asking her to retura to Virginia.Witness caid on her second trip to Virginia she went without Miss Elliot, and she has not seen her since.Miss Kinrade, continuing, said tlat life became tiresome there.The only uncomfortable thing about the place, she said, was the persistency of Baum to go with her.She said she took hs proposal as a jest, and although there was no trouble, Baum\u2019s persistent et- forts to be in attendance with her proved disagreeable.When she returned home she said the stage venture was treated as a joke amomg the family.The girl, under examination, corroborated the evidence given by her father that the best of feelings existed among the members of the family.Miss Kinrade said her father treated all his children alike and and had no pets.The

because the King wore a colored dress coat at a ball he recently gave at the castle in Stockholm.The male courtiers wore similar coats, while the ladies of the court had their halr powdered.The \u2018unheard-of gorgeousness\u2019 called forth protests from the press, one :ewspaper saying that the wearing of colored dress coats made an unpleasant .mpression upon the less well-to-do classes.Dress coats, if worn at all, ought at least to be black.Colored dress oats are the invention of the evil one.Both leaders in parliament, the paper adds, are much disturbed by the King donning such a gorgeous garment, and questions to the ministers are expected.AN ITALIAN SHOT.Guelph, Ont., March 10.\u2014Mike Su-, vestro is in the hospital seriously wounded, and Giuseppi Moselino is in the
