Windsor Hotel \u2014 Two Persons Seriously Injured.SEATH LIST MIGHT HAVE BEEN GREATER, HAD NOT DOG GIVEN TH E ALARM.Cornwall, Ont, March 3.\u2014A fatal re occurred here carly this morning shen tbe Windsor livtel, managed by Mr.Alex.Leplante, was burned lo the Three persons were burned to death.The deut are:\u2014 it.Duquette, rochester, Ont., penter, with Messrs.Ross & Co.George Hagley.l\u2019hriadelphia, cooper, Cornwall Drewery Company.John Gallon, cooper, Cornwall Brewery Company.The serlously injured are :\u2014 Mr.ot.Clair, back injured, cuts on tie head and feet.Mr.Besse, broken legs and internal injuries, Those slightly imjured are :\u2014Messrs.A.MeMillan, W.Rice, M.Mooney, and Mis.Krag.AU the injured are in the Hotel Dieu Hospital.Nou- explanation can be given as to the origin of the fire.About thirty people lived in the hotel.All might have been burned but for an alarm Riv: en by a dog belonging te Mr.Grundy, a boarder at the house.Messrs.James H.Smith, Readville, Pa; W.Hollister, Cornwall, Ont., recesved shght cuts and are now able to be about.I'he halt- naked inmates of the hotel were taken care of and clothed by Mr.J.Kippen, turnkey at the jail which 1s near by.ground.car- NARROW ESCAPES.Cornwall.Ont., March 23.\u2014Not since \u201cho O.& N.Y.bridge went down into the South Channel of the St.Lawrence, ahout ten years ago, has Cornwall been vsited by such a catastrophe as the burning of the Windsor Hotel.The tire is supposed to have started in the pubic parlors of the Hotel on the firss flior.The corridors were all full of -moke, and the flames were spreading rapidly ere anyone aware of it.Mr.James Grundy, formerly of Montreal, who is employed] here in the Wonder- lind moving picture theatre, was up with a tooth-ache.and his wife was aroused by the barking of their little dog which seemed to be greatly agitated.~he s1id she smelled smoke and when Mr.Grundy orrmed the door he discovered that the hal wax was full oe.He seized Mrs, Gru 3y.and rue Anwn.a Tha og a TE shouting \u2018fire.\u2019 As far as can be .learned these were the only people to escape this wav.The proprietor, Alex.La- plante, and his family, and the servants were lucky enough to get down the rear stairs ere they were filled with smoke, but the 32 guests had.nearly all to jump frem windows or clamber down fire es capes, and.it seems that mcst of them jumped.The three poor fellows, who perished.were in their rooms.They were on the first floor and their windows opened into the back yard.only .a dozen fret below.Mr.Duquette was about 40 years of age, and leaves a wife and family in Winchester, Ont.where he resided before coming to Cornwall to work.Hagley and Gallon were young men.Both were married, their wives being in Philadelphia.Thev roomed together.Mr.Cory St.Clair, an employee of the Canada Bridge Company, of Walkerville, slept near the men, who were killed.He was badly burned in his hed, and was one cf the last men out of the doomed building.A man who escaped in his night clothes by jumping from the third story to the kitchen roof and thence to the ground, saw St.Clair break open his window.He called to him, jump, but St.Clair turned slowly and dropped out feet first.He was a very large, powerful man, and was suffering from a broken ankle, the result cf being siruck by .a girder while at work six weeks ago.He was terribly burned about the face, arm and legs, the flesh hanging from him in patches.He wae taken to the Hotel Dieu and his condition is very critical.George Besse, a local tailor, jumped from the third.floor, about 28 or 30 feet.He landed on frozen ground, and had his \u2018egs broken, besides having his back in- Jured and his hands cut.William Bradley, of St.Catharines, boss carpenter for Thos.Nicholson, who has the contract for repairing the Cornwall Canal, where the famous break occurred last summer, slept in the room between Duquette and Hagley.He heard a cry of fire, and getting up he heard several people rushing up and down the hallway.It struck him that the corridor would be full of smoke and the fire escape at its end congested, so he broke the window with a chair and jumped out, escaping with a few bruises.None of the inmates of the hotel saved any of their possessions, being Zlad to escape in their night clothes.The confusion caused by the fire and the rushing into the street of halfnaked persons, seemed to make everybody forget that there was such a thing as a fire alarm, and it was finally pulled by Fred.Deeneny.By the time the fire brigade reached the scene the fire had spread so that the building could not be saved, nor any of its contents.It was completely gutted.The Windsor was a large hotel on Water street, and was owned by Alex.Laplante, who increased its accommodation last summer by a large new wing three storeys high.It was in this wing that most of the guests slept.Mr.Laplante\u2019s loss was about $25,000, with about $19,000 insurance in the Hartford Company.The house was full of board- ars, men employed nr the Soy ri siéger, Gy Cyndy Bride codés the rebuilding of the 0.& N.Y.swing bridge, or by Mr.Thomas Nicholson, contractors for the canal improvements.In the early hours of the morning it was thought that there were no fatalities, but when the boarders were rounded up three could not be accounted or.About six a.m.W.Simpson, driver of the Cornwall Fire Brigade, found the charred bones of Mr.Duquette.He also found the remains of Messrs.Hag- ley and Gallon about 7.45 a.m.These bodies were minus heads and limbs and were burned to a crisp.The three were conveyed to Messrs.J.M.McDonald & Co.\u2019s undertaker establishment, where an inquest will be held., Dr.Hamilton, the coroner, after viewing the remains of the victims, decided that an inquest was rot necessary.About half the walls, which were left standing, have since caved in.HAS LIEUT.SHACKELTON REACHED THE SOUTH POLE?Such is Declared

Quebec against Doctors Jos.A.Handtield and Aimé Handtield, as proprietors of the Mount Koyal Pharmacy, in the town of St.Lous, alleging that on Nov.12 last year, the sola cocaine without tulfiung tu formalities required by law.Evidence was given in the case before the magistrate on Tuesday last, William Tierney, in the employ of the; Canadian Detective Bureau, havingy stated on the date named he purchased?at the Mount Royal Pharmacy a small box of cocaine, for which he paid twenty-five cents, Mr.Handfield, advocate for the defence, submitted that the case could not stand against his clients, inasmuch as they disposed of the Mount Royal Pharmacy on Sept.4 last year, to the Polyclinique de Montreal, Limitée.As fence had been committed, they could pot be held respomsible.He therefpre demanded that the case should be dismissed.Mr.T.M.Tansey, counsel for the Pharmaceutical Association, replied that as the dissolution of the Handfield Association as proprietors of the Mount Royal Pharmacy was not registered until December, subsequent to the sale of the cocaine in question, the two defendants must be held responsible for what he maintained was an illegal act.Judge Bazin took the case en del- bere until yesterday afternoon, when he delivered judgment.He said that, according to the complaint, Doctors Handfield, in association as the proprietors of the Mount Royal Pharmacy, had, on Nov.12, 1908.sold a small box of cocaine without having filled the formalities required by the law.The proof that had been made left no doubt whatever that cocaine had been sold at this store in a manner contrary to the Jaw.But the defendants asserted that they had not done business at this pharmacy since Sept.4 last year; they stated, in effect, that they had transferred their trade and commerce to another company, which did business under the name of the Polyclinique de Montreal, Limitée.This was a pro- THE DOCTORS HANDFIELD 1 HONORABLY ACQUITTED.defendants stated, they had nothing to do with the business since early in September last.The proof of this was established.\u2018'here was no doubt about that.1t was corroborated by the written documents that had been produced as evidence in the case.Against this, however, the complainants argued that, notwithstanding the aforesaid proof, the two - defendants | Were responsible for the sale of the cocaine by reason of the fact that the dissolution of the association of the defendants as the proprietors of the Mount Royal Pharmacy was not registered until Dec.9, nearly a month after the offence was alleged to have been committed.The complainants maintained that in law the defendants continued to exploit the business of the pharmacy until the date of the registration of their dissolution.: The sole question for the court to decide at the present time, therefore, was this: Were the defendants the pro- Abey.were not the proprietors of the | iter \u2018of the pharmacy in question pharmae where - it tves -alleged the of- $0 Vo#.42, 1008\u2014that was to say, ought th | ey to be held responsible before the daw \u2018because they had neglected, until after that date, to register the dissolution of their association?The advocate for the complainant society answered \u2018ves\u2019 to that question because, he suggested, they were in the presence of a civil and not a criminal action.Buf after full and very careful examination of the case and the law bearing upon it, the magistrate said he could not go so far as that, It was true that the law provided that either a civil or a criminal action could be taken before that court in respect to such an offence as was alleged in this information.But he ruled that in order that a civil action might stand, it must be shown that there was a case for damages, and that the cocaine had been supplied under a contract.He could not find that there had been any contract in the present transaction.The sale had been one straight commercial act between the buyer and seller, and the action now before the court was for a penalty.It was a penal responsibility and the present case was a criminal and not a civil action.Under this cireum- stance, the statute stated that the proprietor should be held responsible.The defendants were not, according to the proof, the proprietors on Nov.12, and perly constituted company; but, as the therefore he dismissed the case.The petition of the Montreal Street | Railway Company for a writ of prohibition against the Recorder's Court came up for hearing before Mr.Justice Fortin, in the Practice Court, this morning.This is in connection with the proceedings taken by the city against the Street Railway Company for failure to comply with the notice to extend their line in the new Mount Royal ward.The city was condemned by the Recorder to pay a penalty of $25, and the present petition ig to prevent the carrying out of that judgment.Among other grounds invoked by the petitioner, it is claimed that the Re-.M.S.R\u2019S PROTEST AGAINST RECORDER\u2019S JUDGMENT matter; that the city has no power to pass by-laws forcing the company to extend their lines, the whole matter being governed by the contract between the parties; that even admitting the validity of by-law 210, \u201cinvoked by the city, said by-law does not apply in the present case; that the company could not encroach upon the road mentioned by the city without the consent of the Turnpike Trustees, who control said road; that the proceedings should have been taken by the City Surveyor.It was contended on behalf of the city that a writ of certiorari was the property remedy to adopt.After argument, the court took the corder\u2019s Court has no jurisdiction in the petition \u2018en délibéré.\u2019 PAPER CO.IN LIQUIDATION.Mr.Justice Fortin, this morning granted a petition of the St.Raymond Paper Company asking a winding-up order to be put into liquidation, in accordance with a resolution of the shareholders, and Mr.Frank Powell, secretary-treasur- er of the company, was appointed pro- visioral liquidator.THE VARSITY BOAT RACE.(Canadian Associated Press.)

House of Commons yesterday that not only had there been no friction between Great Britain and Germany, but no unfriendliness, nothing mdeed but a mutual sense of what is due to the independence of two great peoples, and a mutual feeling that each must have regard to its own Interests in matters of national deicnce, The recent talk in the sensational press of Britain's unpreparedness to defend herself he looked upon as the most un- ' scrupulous misrepresentations of the ac tual situation he had ever experienced.Germany is said to look on the war talk in England as a magnificent bogey manufactured to scare the parliament nto not grumbling at the increased taxation demanded by the bumper new navy bill.At 2a mass meeting of six thousand of the striking government telegraph and post-office employees, in Pans, to-day, 1t was voted by an overwhelming ma- Jority to resume work.Only about two hundred of the men voted to continue the strike.The extraordinary council held at Tsarkoe Selo recen:ly is said to have been devoted to the discussion as to whether the viceroyalty of the Caucasus should be abolished, and as to the steps to be taken in Finland, where the refusal of the Senate to promulgate a law allotting lands to tenant farmers has precipitated a crisis.There is reason vo believe that the present coalition Finnish Senate will resign, and that it will be succeeded by a Scnate of the Old Finns, who were in power during the regime of Governor-General Bobrikofl.The situation at Helsingfors is such that the position of both General Beekman, Governor-General of the Grand Duchy, rand _M.Lanzhoff, State Secretary for Finland, are insecure.Prince Henry of Prussia, in an illus trated lecture before the Aero Club at Kiel in which he described his five-hour voyage in the Zeppelin airship of Oct.27 last, expressed himself as sceptical of the usefulness of air craft in the present state of development for war purposes, owing to their inherent weaknesses and the lack of knowledge of aerial currents.The craft answered her helm ag casily as a steam pinnace, but it depended wholly on the air currents whether che would reach her goal soon or late, or not at all.The problem he considered, however, to be a fascinating one that must be worked out.The discovery of two new planets is reported beyond Neptune.One is four and a quarter billions of miles from the sun and the other five and a half billions.Governor Curry of New Mexico has resigned.A Santa Fe special to the Denver \u2018Post\u2019 says he objected to an article in a local paper, telephoned the cditor to come and see him, and when the editor came thrashed him and threw nim out of the office.The town of Grand Falls, in the heart of Newfoundland, where a few months ago was only virgin forest, now numvers two thousand inhabitants.This region is to supply the paper for the Nortn- cliffe publications.A dam a thousand feet long has been built, capable of sto:- ing a hundred million feet of timber, and a power*station of forty-five thousand horse-power capacity.Little Willie Whitla, the boy who was kidnapped from school in Sharon, Pa, last Thursday, was returned to his fatb- er at the Hollenden Hotel, Cleveland, yesterday, and it is said the ten thousand dollars demanded for his return has been paid.The boy says he was taken to Warren, O., Ashtabula, Pa., and Newcastle, Pa., and had a thcroughly good time.The State Senate has offered a reward of $15,000 for the apprehension of the kidnappers, and a bill has been introduced making kidnapping a felony punishable only by death by hanging.The present penalty is imprisonment for life, or for such term of years as the court may direct.It is reported in Sharon to-day that a Sharon man is under arrest in Cleveland in connection with the case.Yielding to the protests of shipp ng interests in New York, Boston, Balu- more, and Philadelphia, and committees of the Chamber of Commerce and oth=:r public bodies of New York, the Trunk Line Association has decided to reduce the rates on grain from the great lakes to New York to meet the water competition which last year gave Montreal and other Canadian ports practically all the wheat-carrying trade to Europe.Mr.Roosevelt sailed from New York to-day on his way to Africa.\u2014_\u2014 The Blue Funnel liner \u2018Oanfa,\u201d which reached Victoria,

the march of civilization and settlement in the colony.The tree house\u2014a neat and well built habitation, placed at an enormous height among the branches of a forest tree and reached only by a swinging ladder\u2014was primarily intended as a refuge from enemies.Now, however, that the Govern- rent has brought the wild tribes under control the native prefers to live in a house that demands less skill in construction.There are still many tree houses to be seen, though few or none are being built.In the north-eastern district of Papua (where much valuable sugar, rubber and cocoanut land lies ready for taking up, the Government officials on their regular tours of inspection often sleep at night in the house of some hospitable native ¥illage: constable, who draws his ladder up at

than fifty hours friends of the six men who ascended from Tournament Park, in Pasadena, at 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, in the big balloon \u2018America, have been without word of them or the slightest knowledge of the fate that has overtaken the aeronauts.So Iar as information goes, no human being has caught sight of the huge gasbag since it rose above the park enclosurc in sight of five thousand persons.The balloon, carried by a stiff breeze.sailed into the low-hanging clouds that lay far down on the mountain sides, and disappeared.The belief that some tragic fate has befallen the men who formed the party has led to the formation of many re lief expeditions into various parts of the Sierra Madre mountains, directly over which the strong current carried the balloon when it had reached an altitude of a few thousand feet.There are three distinct mountain ranges before the Mojave Desert 1s reached, fifty miles north of Pasadena.If the balloon sailed over this fifty miles breadth of mountain chains and came to earth on the Mojave Desert, there 18 hope that the occupants of the balloon basket, after tramping many miles, may be able to reach ehelter.If the balloon was not able to cross the Sierra Madres, and was brought down among the mountains, the men are in danger of death.This afternoon two parties left Pasadena and will search all night for the missing men.One party will go to Mount Lowe, and from there attempt to pass down the snow-blocked trails.Earlier to-day a party, in which was Mr.Roy Kna- benshue, a Toledo aeronaut, went to Alpine Tavern, near the summit of Mount Lowe, and began to search adjacent canons.A report from this party stated that no trace had been found.; Through Mr.S.L.Carlton, chief of the Government Forestry Rangers on the San Gabriel reserve, word has been sent to all of the rangeys to take the trail at once and cover all the mountain posts during the night.The Elks Lodge, of Pasadena, two members of which are expedition

landing of the balloon or the fate of its human freight.in the mountains exploring every ae- cessible part of the ranges and canyons.The hunt was kept up all night and messages were received from every point beyond the mountains where a landing could have been made, but no definite information of any kind was gathered.At least thirty men are following up the canyons and crossing flats between the mountain ranges.: MAKING A FISHING ROD DIFFERENT KINDS OF AUSTRAL- 1AN WOODS USED FOR VARIOUS JOINTS.(From the \u2018Field.\u2019) Queensland woods have lately come into fashion for the making of fishing rods.The South American greenheart was imported into Australia and New Zealand extensively formerly, but this has been superseded by the woods of the Queensland forests, which furnish material for the building of a very ef- behing an export trade, The following description of a fishing rod made from these Australian wo illustrates the point.For the butt black wood was employed.This is a dark colored, nicely figured, close grained timber, very hard and heavy.It is used chiefly as a substitute for the walnut and has been turned to advantage in gun stocks, joinery and cabinet work and can be carved for panels, The middle joint was of spotted gum, one of the myrtaceae.It is a grayish timber; the grain, while often perfectly straight, is occasionally interlocked; a hard, tough, and elastic wood; it is much used for the making of spokes.shafts, piles, axe handles, rims and many other purposes, The top joint was constructed of a red gam a straight fibred tough wood, which, although heavy, may be worked freely.This is another valuable and common wood, being largely employed in the construction of carriages, ships, buildings and ridres.OLD TIME SEA FOOD.(London

Cib- ada Life Assurance Company.: bill will be sent back to the Committee on Standing Orders, complaint having been made during the course of the discussion that the statutory provisions in! respect to the giving of proper notiee bad not been complied with .This was not, however, the sole res.son for the decusion of the House that cussion.That was bised on ile arguments of those opunsed to the bill \u2018o the effect that the policyholders should be given a longer perico in which to consider their position.1 The crux of the dispute lies in a Parliamentary enactment, passed in 1879, which provided that the policylio'ders should receive ninety percent of the profits.It is claimed on behalf of the: company that the intent of the act was that the division of prctits should made after the thaverolders had 29221 paid interes: om :be capital invested.That, at ay rate, was the policy adopi ed by the company.Recently there has been a movement on the part of the policyholders to institute proceedings to collect all the profits to which they are entitled under the legislation of 1879.The company on the other hand seeks corrective legislation, claiming that if these policyholders had their way, the.stability of the company would be affect- lose more than they would gain.Senator Cox, President of the Canada Life, followed the debate cloeely from a seat in the senators\u2019

they had the opinion of the Minister of Justice.Hon.A.B.Aylesworth maid .scarcely knew upon what point his opinion was dedred.When a legal point was asked to be ruled upon he was always ready, but he had difficulty in seeing what legal point there was to be; den admitted that he had something decided upon.\u2026 He had formed the opinion some months ago, he declared, that under the wording of the Act of 1879, the company could not deduct from the general earnings of the company the interest on the capital of the company before computing the 90 percent of the profits for distribution among the policyholders.He.did not know amy other legal question that arose.The matter was entirely within the jurisdiction of parliament.If it was a question of the propriety.or wisdom of passing the legislation now before the House every member was as well qualified as he to pass upon it\u2014 that was not a question of law.As for himself he intended to support the bill.It was not an infrequent thing, he continued, to find that the true intention of the parties had not been correctly expressed, To determine the truth was the function of the court, but no court could correct this error, which was.made thirty years ago; Parliament only.could make this correct.If there was a mistake it ought now to be corrected.Ever since 1879 this course of business had been going on, which was a clear proof that the shareholders thought that was the meaning of the legislation, and the policyholders had acquiesced.Therefore they ought to bz regarded as complying.: Mr.Meighen said the parties now before the House were the policyholders \u2018| of 1909, and it was on behalf of these 35,000 that the Opposition to the bill was made.The minister had not said a word concerning them.As regards Mr.Aylesworth\u2019s view of the acquiescence of the policyholders, he had yet to learn that acquiescencz deprived those who acquiesced of their rights.Was he gong to lay it down that vested rights are not vested rights until they are in liquidation?Why not \u2018eave the matter to the court?It had to be remembered tht before the capital was increased the sharehald- era got dividends up to 70 percent; now DOMINION PARLIAMENT.The Canada Life Bill Referred Back to Standing | Orders Committee After a Debatc GEODETIC SURVEY\u2014MR.McKENZIE, OF NORTH CAPE BRETON, DECLARES THAT RECIPROCITY WILL

over the discussion to a later date.It would be tien in respect to so important a matter.Mr.Fielding was inclined, however, to support the bill.When the shareholders put the extra capital into the company, he said, they did so with the ull expectation that they would be paid the interest on their Investment before there was a division of profits among the policyholders.If this policy were not carried out they would bave a perfect right to say: \u2018Let \u2018us take back our money , \u2018I think,\u2019 said Mr.Fielding, \u2018that this 48, retroactive legislation.fi probably interferes with the rights of policyholders, but they were rights of which they were not aware and which they were not entitled to in equity.In order to prevent confusion and disorder it would be better for parliament to pass this bill\u2019 Mr.Fielding went on \u2018to point out that the claims of policyholders could not poesibly be adjusted, and that it would be better to give legal effect to an understanding which has already, existed for thirty years.Mr.A.H.Clarke explained that he had no interest in the Bil except as a policyholder.If the proposals made in some quarters were carried into

nt ! , 11 >, : QUESTION.PORN te) Mr.McKenzie, of North Cape Breton, offered a resolution that steps should be taken as may be deemed most effective in eonserving the home market to Canadian coal.operators.The coal trade, he claimed, was the basis of Nova Scotia\u2019s prosperity.The amount of capital involved was large.In Bnt- ish Columbia $20,000,000 was invested; in Alberta, $15,000,000, and in Nova Scotia, $64,000,000.It was highly = important that invested capital should be protected by parlisment in conjunction with the general interests of the country.The men, women and children also must be protected.One hundred and three thousand people in Nova Scotia depended upon coal mining for \u201ctheir living.As to the question of reciprocity: if this came about the coal trade of the Maritime Provinces would go to Boston: To-day steamers brought the coal to Montreal, and, as return cargoes, secured cheap freights for ne- \u2018cessary manufactured goods.If the trade went to Boston this trade would also go.American coal was gaining ground.along - the St.Lawrence to the excluffon of Nova Scotia coal.The sale of American coal was increasing rapidly in Montreal.Reciprocity in coal had not in the past proved a boon to the Nova Scotia -coal industry.It was tiecewsary that some steps be taken to TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 1909.Trunk Pacific above the ranks of

telephoned Mr.Loomis to call on him.When the editor appeared Mr.Curry, according to report, punished him and then threw him from the office.Mr.Loomis and his friends at once started a movement to have the governor removed from office, and prepared charges against him, to be filed with President Taft and Mr.Bal- linger, Secretary of the Interior.SHERBROOKE CIVIC SCANDAL AN EXCITING SESSION OF

of the rest of the council, but they did not see it in that light until it had been carried without \u2018a vote being registered agains it.When they discovered the way the matter stood it was suddenly \u2018sprung\u2019 upon the council that the bvard was not legally organized, as: the law provides that fifteen days must.elapse -be- tween the passing of the by-law and the organizing of the board.This time had not expired when the board was formad The only Baking Powder made from Royal Grape the \u2018Post\u2019 from Santa Fe, N.M., says: of collection.of Tartar and at a subsequent meeting it was declared null and void.At the last meeting Aldermen McManamy and Lanctat \u2018had a bitter controversy, and in the heat of the argument, Ald.Lanctot drew Ald, Thompson's name into the question in anything but a pleasant manner, and the latter retaliated by bringing to light that an establishment in which Ald.Lanctot was interested had been supplying goods to the city.At to-night\u2019s meeting the maiter was again taken up and never in the history of the council has a more exciting session been held.The Mayor and Ald.McManamy ran amok with charges and ccunter charges.the meeting of the board of control it appears that the Mayor seconded a motion to have Ald.McCrea made chair- map of the board, and the Mayor now is opposed to this, and declared that he never seconded the motion, and was supported in his contention by Ald.Den- ault.\u2018Ald.McManamy said the Mayor, \u2018has been in thig couneil for a great number of years, and there has never yet been a mayor that he has not insulted.\u201d After the council had adjourned and the members were going home, Ald.McManamy and the Mayor had another heated discussion.The council chamber was crowded to the doors.~ TRENT VALLEY CANAL WORK ON THE-TRENTOY SECTION TO BEGIN ABLUT APRIL 153.Trenton, Ont., March '22.\u20141It is expected that work on the local section From the minutes of- of the Trent

AAA.Lively Discussion Took Place at Annual Meeting of the Association.The annual meeting of the Shamrock A.A.A.was held in the Auditorium Hall last evening ,and, as was expected, lively discussion took place at times, while matters at issue -were thoroughly threshed out.The meeting, which commenced shortly before 8 o'clock, was not concluded uatil 12.30 in the morning.\u2019 One of the chief poluts of criticism was the manner in which the financial statement was precented to the membens.Those objecting to the form of statement held that it was a nieré summary of the position of the various clubs.This came up lu cne form or anether many times in the course ALLERMAN T.O'CONNEULL, President Shamrock A.A.A.of the meeting, and the criticism was finally brought to a head by the passing of a motion, shortly before adjournment, stipulating that in future the accounts of each club in detail be: printed with the annual statement.EE Another grievance.raised.wig that the junior lacroese players did not obtain sufficient support.In explanation Mr.J.O\u2019Brien zaid that in the particular case referred to the juniors had the grounds from 2 till 4, but were late in taking the fleld.grounds had bren rented to an Association football club, which led to the retort that \u2018that was no Irishman\u2019s game anyway.\u2019 Mr.Ferry raised a sensation by putting two questions to the chair.One of these Was to ask if it was true that the St.Pat.| rick\u2019s A A.A.had made a proposition to the S.A A.A.to join them in a body, and had been refused, and the second whether the directcrs had treated similarly an offer from another club to add 100 members to the association if the club holise \u2018project went through.: The president.and directors both stated that this was the first they had heard of what Mr.Ferry mentioned.Mr.Lunny, secretary-treasurer, then stated that he bad had some conversation on the matter, but that ns he had not been spoken to officially he had not laid it before the board, although he might have bad some verbal communication about it.Mr.McMahon, president of St.Tatrick's A.A.A., stated that he had asked Mr.Lunny how the directors would view a proposition for St.Patrick's to go over to the S.A.A.A.on condition that the S.A AA.built a track at the grounds.The ceding of Shamrock avenue to the town of St.Louis wav another haqtly de- | bated point, Ald.Dan.Gallery bein one of the strenuous opponents of the proposal.It was finally carried, however.Mi.T.F.Slattery got through a motion naming as a spectal committee to deal with the proposed club house all the past presidents of the association.The committee: will report within sixty days to a special meeting of tha association.Apart from the discussion as to the management of ilre asseelation, chiet interest | in the meeting centred in the election of of- | ficers.\u201cAfter H.J.\u2019KTrMihey had been unanimously re-elected to the heaoars presl- dency, tkree rames were put for the office of president, Ald.T.O'Connell, P.Kene- han and ex-Ald.Deniz Tansey.Mr.Tan- sey asked {hat his name be withdrawn from the nomination list, and the contest then narrowed down to a ballot- between the fipet two.Ald: O'Connel] was re\u2018urned to office, the majority not.being stated.Ex-Ald.Denis Tansey was unanimously elected to the vice-presidency.Eight names were slated in nomination for the three seats on the board nf directors, those named being John Gallery, Ed.Quinn, J.J.Fahey, W.McD.Cochrane, Charles Neville, J, O'Brien, M.J.McCreary and J.Carroll.From these there wers rl- 1

arranged to meet Shrubb on April 17 at the Rosedale Lacrosse grounds, another js to hand stating that one conversant with track affairs pertaining to the Indian, is of opinion tha: while Longboat would give Shrubb a 15 miles race, he would not do eo for at least à couple of months.The Indian wac preparing for the Marathon on April 3, aad that training would not do for a 15 mile event at all, and there was no likelihood of his meeting Shrubb unless after a careful and special preparation of two months at least, SIMPSON'S EXPLANATION.Toronto, March 22.\u2014'I had no chance to beat Shrubb on Saturday night, because [of the severe cold I had,\u2019 eaid Simpson to-day.\u2018I'm not shouting for another chance at him at 12 miles, but I would like to run him 20 when I am in fit

earned within a couple of months, George V.Bonhag, of the Irish-American Athletic Club,siands ut to-day as one of the mot remarkable runners developed in many years.The performance of Bonhag in the seven-milo raéé at the Fordham University games in Twenty-Second Regiment Armory or ! Saturday night, when he broke four rec- Urde, -was one of the most brtiliagt ever \u201cseen in New York.In point of athletic jn- \u2018terest it lay away over the exploit of { Ralph Rose last year, who toppied over \u20acix shot-puiting records in one day.Bonhez.Je unquestionably the braîniest runner in the amateur ranks to-day.He , is a clever young man in bis business of | engineering draughtsman.He takes good | care of .himself physically.He does nut | drink intoxicants.He doesnt emoke the : ill-odored and nerve-nacking cigarette.He keeps early hours and systematizes his | training so that nothing is done tha! ' should not be done.He is remarkably like the grea: Englieh runner, Shrubb, in , his methods and practices, Both men are .great believers in using the brair as well | as the feet\u2014wherein the moral for all am- k= young runners lies.Many good, nervy distance amateurs run themeelves off their feet when they are pressed by some foxy opponent, who forces | them ever along.Soon comes the collapse.But pot so with Bonhag.Many times has he been aeen to plod around the track ! when it appeared as if he were hopelessly \"besten.Soon his patient and well directed : efforts would begin to tell, and the firs\u2019 | {hing one knew Bonhag would be sprinting home at a 440-yard gait when all his antagonists were tired.Bonhag now holds the following Ameri- san records: Two miles\u2014$m.27 4-58; old record, 9m.28 3-58.Three mmiles\u2014li4m.34 4-58; old record (outdoor), 14m.3%.Four miles\u201419m.43 3-58; old record 19m, 53 3-6s.Five miles\u201424m.29 2-56; old record, 25m.19 2-58.Five and one-half milee\u201428m 0ls; 0! record (outdoor), 28m.498.Six miles\u201430m.42s; old record (outdoor), 31 27 1-58.Six and one-half miles\u201433m.20 1-5c; old record (ouidoor), 34m 10 3-538.Seven miles\u201435m.50 3-88; old record, - (Outdcor).36m.54e.Some of these records have stood for years.It will take Collins at his best to top him.He is not as good as he was early in the season, while Bonhag always improves as the spring advances.With the general run of athletes it is the other way.OPINION IN OTTAWA CAPITAL'S TRAINER BELIEVES RE- | SCINDING RESIDENCK RULE IN LACROSSE

Mr.Justice Corrs Tn an English-speaking Jury, in a case of James Park vs.the Montreal Park & Island Railway Company.This was a claim for $1,084 damag-:s on account of injuries received when alighting from one of the company\u2019s cars at the Dominion Bridge stopping place.The plaintiff claimed that the car, having slowed down, he started to jump, but was jesked off by a sudden motion of the car and crushed between it and the wall, suffering severe injuries.He alleged that at the time the conductor of the car was in the front and not ut his proper station, and that if he had been properly attending to his duties there would have been no accident.The jury found both sides at fault, and while they assessed the damages it the full amount claimed, they reduced their verdict in favor of the plaintiff to $500 and costs, on account of his contri butory negligence.In rendering their verdict, the jury expressed the opinion that a platform or station of some-kind should be erected at \u2018Dominion,\u2019 to prevent future acci- ents.of other business will be held at the club: they have earned a right to for the com.\u2018 i ' MRS.TUCKER AN EXPERT City Rinks Were Engaged With

\u2018Gazette\u2019 says this morning: \u2018The \u2018New Zealand Government has offered \u2018Great Britain the cost of one first- \u2018class battleship and that of a second \u2018one if necessary.The offer is a fair \u2018one.No other British colony is quife so dependent upon the efficiency of the \u2018British navy as New Zealand.\u2019 Does this mean that Canada is very little dependent upon the efficiency of the British navy and is not called upon to contribute to it?Does it mean that the Conservative party in parliament will oppose similar action to that of New Zealand if such is proposed by Sir Wilfrid Laurier?Anyway, the statement is the reverse of the fact.It is Canada that has owed, does owe, and must owe in future more than any other self- governing colony to the efficiency of the British navy.To say nothing of our land exposure, no other colony has so large a sea commerce as ours or is likely to have.Our exports \u201cgo into all the ccreideratle countries of the earth, and it is Britain\u2019s navy that guards them and makes them eafe.And for that we do not pay a penny piece.i The opening of the Irish Asize courts this month was a remarkable tribute to the absence of crime in the various districts visited by the judges, and the tri- buteg of the judges to that fact was a striking refutation.ef the \u2018persistent cal- \u2018 umnies of the \u201ccarrion crow\u201d brigade.\u2019 as the defamers of Ireland arc now call- cd.At the onening of the Assizes for County Monaghan, for instance, one of the most nationalist counties in Ulster, Mr.Justice Gibson was presented with white gloves, there being no criminal cases.In County Cavan, which is also overwhelmingly Nationalist, Lord Justice Holmes said the business would be light and short as the cases were trivial.At County Waterford Assizes the Lord Chicf Justice, Lord O\u2019Brien, stated that there was only one bill to go before the grand jury, and that the country was in an undoubtedly satisfactory state.The Lord Chief Baron.aleo narrowly missed a pair \u2014\u2014 sizes, there being only one bill to go before the grand jury.In opening the County Leitrim assizes, Mr.Justice Johnson said there were only four cases for the whole assizes.At the County Long- ford Assizes, Mr.Justice Kenny found only two criminal cases, and commented that with the exception of one district { this light calendar was a true reflection of the state of the county.At Clare, on the other hand, Mr.Justice Wright condemned the use of revolvers.It was a deplorable state of things, he said, that almost every pérson in Broadford went about carrying a revolver, and he advised that Broadford was a very good place ta live out of.The truth seems to be, however, that Ireland, except in a few places, is not the abode of crime that the club-prompted representatives of the American press in London have made it out to be in their mendacious!y partisan cables to this side.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE NAVAL SCARE.The sensationalist correspondents who dished up for the New York palate the great British naval scare on Sunday are having.their laugh over it on Monday.The Germans, who have heard with surprise and delight how Great Britain was in terror of their naval develon- ment, are discussing it as an admirably staged performance for the purpose of raising the taxes.So it might seem !f Mr.McKenna\u2019s speech about Germany's greater production of \u2018Dreadnoughts\u2019.were the only thing noted.They will soon learn, however, that the real scaremongers are the Conservative protectionists who hope again to .nake thejr way to power through a war scare, aided by the so-called \u2018Unionist\u2019 press, led by the \u2018Times.\u2019 Mr.Balfour, who hes a very wise dread of the failure of the protectionist ery when 1t reaches the masses, has made a motion censuring the government for not Immediately laying down eight \u2018Dreadnoughts,\u201d which is to be discussed on Monday next.Pos sibly he hopes that the nation can \u2018by.then be wrought up to such a fever that his motion will pass.Once in power, he would have no more occasion to tremble on the brink of the protectionist abyss.That would be the needful way to raise money for the enormous armament that the people had clamored for.As \u2018for carrying out the | programme, Once he was in power, that would be quite another matter.- It would be an easy answer to cavillers that there were not yards in which to build any more \u2018Dreadnoughts.\u2019 More than that, it could be said that in days when every two years brings out a new type that makes junk of most of what already exists, it is nonsense to be multiplying' ships of any given type.Indeed, he would probably he able to say that, whereas, when he made his motion \u2018the \u2018Dreadnought\u2019 was the Jast word in shipbuilding, there had been developments since, either in Britain or in some other country, that made it wise to work on new lines.He could say.we have to lay down every ship, not for to-day, but for three years hence, and what do we know of the conditions of warfare three years lence ?Here 1s Oount Zeppelin already arming his airships, and where wculd be the sense of us building unnumbered \u2018Dreadnoughts\u2019 for him to drop fulmimating .xplosives Into.All these things would probably occur both to the party and to the nation after the fever was over.Meantime, they would be in the clutch of the protectionists, which would be a more fatal thing for England than if, like Holland, she should drop altogether out of the race for brute ascendancy.Meantime, the Germans are also talking nonsense.Someone is promising that nation that when the present building programme, which is prescribed by law, and cannot be departed frou, 1s complete, there is no intention of entering on another era of naval extravagance; as though any present intentions could determine what would or would not be thought necessary three years hence, A \u2018queer story comes from Russia, too, that Great Britain is proposing to her a political and.financial alliance.What there is in this we wait to learn.It seems, at all events, that parliament 1s to be asked to decide whether Brut- ain will launch out in a hopelessly killing competition.As towards.Kurope she might hope, if through continued free trade she could keep ail her pores open, to win in \u2018such a procse of.mutual exhaustioñ; but as teward\u201d Ameri- feat.All the while, Canada stands by and.watches the siryggle as though »t was none of hers\u2014Canada, which Would not, like Holland, enjoy any guaranteed immunit y from neighborly.dictation should she cease to fly the flag that the.British navy flies.New Zealand helps 3 Australia is going to do more than she of white gloves-at Watertord -City As- has :done; South Africa has done some thing; -Ounads.is doing

\u2018that may ultimately re- \u2018sult in our giving Christianity a trial\u2019 He could see signs that the idea of accumulating riches \u2018beyond the dreams cf avarice\u2019 was becoming played out.\u2018I \u2018believe the day is coming,\u2019 said Sir Thomas Shaughnessy to a Detroit interviewer, \u2018when it wiil be considered vul- \u2018gar for a man to have more than a \u2018million dollars.\u201d .\u2018If there must \u2018be an aristocracy, let it be one of brain, \u2018 refinement and work.Let it be above \u2018all else an aristocracy of well-directed, \u2018useful, conscientions work.\u201d These gen- tences appeared in almost contiguous columns of the \u2018Witness.\u2019 They are surely the voice of our age, coming through men who have their ear to the ground.Such different men, too! The professor, retiring in the full strength of his manhood to classic shades in modest comfort, after giving his youth to the youth of Canada, ambitious no doubt to consecrate his achieved liberty to the greater service of mankind, and the captain of enterprise, in the full rush of a career that naturally, almost necessarily, leads to the bundance that he deprecates.There was one sentence attributed to Sir Thomas that does not speak his own mind.He says of the Canadian, whom he contrasts, greatly to his advantage, with the United States man of affairs, \u2018When he has amassed what he consid- \u2018ers a sufficient sum he stops to enjoy \u2018his life and the fruits of his labors.We are glad that such has been Sir Thomas Shaughnessy\u2019s observation of Canadians from a vantage ground in which he is in an eminent position to make correct comparisons.We only wish we could endorse it as positively as well as comparatively true.Yet it is not Sir Thomas\u2019s highest ideal by a long way.He shows a more excellent way.The goal of gouty self-indulgence has ceased to fill the eye of the active man of to-day.Self-improvement, the summum bonum of so many philoso phers, is nothing after all but the acme of selfichness.Even when it takes in the mind the nobler form of fitting \u2018or another state of being it amounts only to \u2018otherworldliness.\u201d It can never rat- isfy the soul of man.The one thing that can is rendering service to man.The only worthy object of release from engrossing care is, as Sir Thomas tells us, to be free to enter on larger service.To do otherwise with one\u2019s independence, is to take the path to everlasting con; tempt.It is thus that the world of to-day has come, like the railway magnate, to look on the guilded sons of wealth, who seem to regard their pitiful selves as hav: ing no duties other than the spending of money upon themselves.Such ag these, with all their supercilious gelf-complacent scorn of the things about them, are the lost ones of society.Fortunately the most of men have no problem as to what they will do\u2019 when liberated from toil, or any experience of the difficulty of them that have riches entering the kingdom of heaven, that is, of mutual service; unless, indeed, they make it for themselves by making riches their goal.Fortunately the joyous path of service is just before every man in his calling, wherein he is called to serve God and man.Is this, as Dr.Cox puts it, giving Christianity a trial ?Surely it is.The law of mutual service is not the first law of the kingdom.That js transcendant: but it is the second.Love is the fulfilling of the law.He that loveth rot his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not scen ?mr A CITY OF WIRES.One of the arguments that has been given to justify the willingness of the representatives of the city before the: Private Bills\u2019 Committee of the Legislature to accept the amendment to ihe Canadian Light & Power Company's charter, Which gives that company the right to enter the city without asking the leave of the City Council, seems on the face of it an attempt to show that two blacks make a white.The contention is that as the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Company already exercises a similar right of entry, and as the- Legis lature is not at all likely to bring those rights under the subjection of the civic \u2018authorities, therefore the City Council is willing to tolerate the granting of at any rate to one other company \u2014n order to break the existing monopoly, and with a view to making the confusion.of the overhead electric wires so .much worse \u2018\u201ctonfounded that the aggravation of the disease will bring on inevitably the administration of the \u2018only cure\u2014underground public conduits.The immediate result, however, is likely tp be a sorry cobweb over the streets of Montreal.And, notwithstanding tle righteous cry that one claimant {or privilege has as good a right to it as.\u2018énother, there is no conspicuous wisdom in the sacrifice of the street rights of equal privileges to other companies\u2014or | the city.There is good reason in Mayor Payette\u2019s statement of yesterday, that the city ought not to have committed itself in this matter beforehand.Montreal should certainly be mistress of her own streets, and when they are wanted by a.business corporation the City Council is the proper authority to deal with the case on its merits, and not the Quebec Legislature.Furthermore, the use of the streets should be worth something to the citizens, but what has the city got, or what is it likely to get from the Canadian Light & Power Company for the very valuable concession that has been sanctioned by the Private Bills\u2019 Committee?The whole transaction is one more round in the fight, commendable in itself, to bring competition into the field against the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Company.The Canadian Light & Power Company protests that its competition will be genuine and lasting, and that it is so hedged about with condi tions by the Federal Government that there can be no amalgamation now or in the future with the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Company.Alderman L.A.Lapointe considers that our interests are safeguarded in the powers accorded to the Canadian Light & Power Company by the clause which insists that its wires must be taken off the poles and placed in municipal conduits without compensation, if the work of municipal conduit construction is commenced within five years of the passing of the Act.This was perhaps as much as could be expected of the Legislature, but it looks very much like marching backward.A far better course would have been to have secured the conduit legislation first, with authority to compel every company to put its wires therein.Then and not till then, consideration should have been given to questions of granting other privileges\u201cto companies seeking to do business in the eity.Certainly, if there is to be wide, permanent, effective competition in elcc- trie light and power it can only go on through underground conduits, owned aud controlled by the city.A TRIBUTE TO MR.ROOSEVELL.(London \u2018Spectator.\u2019) *.We cannot pass over the retirement «of Mr.Roosevelt without adding a tew words in review of his remarkable pre- beidency, and as a token of the very warm.admiration for him as a mam.\u2018He will always be remembered as the President who was responsible for the tone of that transition period in which -the United States nassed from her old circumstances of detachment into the larger business of the politics of the world.And he has secured that her influence should not only be one of the most powerful influences in existence, but that it should be employed consistently in just and righteous causes.If.Mr.Roosevelt wants his country to be strongly armed, it is because it increases her power to defend the right.That is what strikes us chiefly about hrs relation during the past seven years to other countries.But the same passion for high-principled conduct has distinguished his career as chief magistrate of the American people.He has assumed that public life can have as high an ethical standard as private hte, and that every failure to keep it up to that standard is an ignoble declension.He has made bitter enemies as well as countless friends.Part of the criticism of his methods may be true.it matters little.What we do know beyond fear of dispute is that he has shown a consistent, wholesome, and absolutely fearless character ; that he has done much to purify and elevate his country; and that every one who speaks the English tongue will wish that he may live long to render the world new services.ALMOST LIVED IN PRISON BURGLAR SPENT 14 YEAKS OUT OF 18 IN JAIL.Napoleon de la Soblommiere, is once more behind the prison bars, and this \u2018time he will be safe for the next two

Montreal Next Summer.\u2014 Notices have been issued calling a meeting in the Ladies\u2019 Ordinary of the Windsor llotel tor next Monday evens mg, at 8 o'clock, of all citizens interest: ed in having an \u2018Old Home Week celebration in the near future, The object is to set apart a week cr ten days for the purpose of having a re union of Montreal Uid Boys by offering attractions and inducements to those who were at some time residents of tals city, to gather here and enjoy th: = selves.In addition to the programme of amusements there would be opp tunities of showing one of the best equipped harbors on the continent, some of the finest banking offices :n the world, large manufacturing plants, wholesale blocks, retail stores, ete., ull of wnica are the best indica.ioas of the city's prosperity and progress.It is also proposed to have.in one of tlw large buildings, an exhibition of Cauv- ada\u2019s mineral resources, together with a photographic display on a large scale of the attractive features of this coun try, and additional attractions which will be educational and interesting.New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadel phia and other large American cities have all had in the last few years Old Home Weeks.After the project 1s under way citizens will be asked to send to the committee the names and addresses of all their absent relatives and friends who at one time lived here, and a circular will be sent to each.and this, with the co-operation of the press and other means will reach thousands who will be glad to come back to their old home for a celebration of this kind.The promoters hope that there will be a large meeting on the twenty-ninth to discuss the matter thoroughly.and appoint a committee to handle 1t.The first menton of the project appears to meet with universal approval.The Grand Trunk and the C.P.R.are heartily in favor of it and citizens of all classes agree that .such an event would bring much pleasure to present and former residents of this city.| Mr.W.T.Rob:on, of the .advertis- iug department of the C.P.R., said that any movement that would benefit Montreal by making it favorably known, as this should do, would have the com- pauy\u2019s sympathy.Montreal old boys and girls, no doubt, hail with delight the prospect of being able to meet former school mates, and relatives under such circumstances, and the railway people would extend the glad hand to all such.Montreal, Mr.Robson sail, was a good place to vsit in the summer.Scenery, boating, amusements.business houses, public buildings and many .other features offered worthy attractions and he thought.an Old Home Week would be just the thing to help boom Montreal next summer.Mr.G.T.Bell, general passenger and ticket agent of the G.T.R., said that the Grand Trunk had carried thousands of passengers to Old Boys\u2019 re-unions in Ontario.They scemed to be greatly enjoyed by those who attended them and | he thought were usually beneficial to j the cities having them.The Grand i Trunk always gave special rates for these | gatherings.and would be pleased to cooperate with the Montreal promoters.The re-union idea could be overdone or repeated too often, but an occasicnal event of this kind he could not see any objection to.Mr.Henry Miles, of the Business Men\u2019s League, thought such an event a most desirable one for Montreal, and his association, he felt sure, would favor .it as it would help to make Montreal\u2019s beauties and business advantages widely known.Mr._E.Sheppard, who was a moving spirit in the Winter Carnival, expressed himself as strongly in favor cf the reunion proposed.He had visited Ottawa during their Old Home Week, and thought it a spendid thing.Mr.Baikie, who also was prominently identified with the carnival, said he .was @lad to hear of the proposal, and hoped it would receive every encouragement.Mr.Leslie Boyd, president of the MA.A.A., when asked for an Opinion said he would favor such a re-union.if 1t \u2018was properly organized and manag Gatherings of this kind had PRG good in other places, and there was an abundance of material to make the event à great success in Montreal.Much ï ou spend, however, on how it was ,Ald.T.O\u2019Connell, president © Shamrock A.A.A.expressed Ny oe penoroughly In favor of the .proposed Mr.W.E.Gladw'sh saié that from tte pleasure of meeting old f the advertising value of an old bo tuion to a city like Montrea] would be Incstimable.Toronto made the Dest possible use of its annual exhibition as an advertising medium, and it had done wonders for the Queen City.Niagara attracted tourists near enough to visit Hamilton; Ottawa and Quebec were cap tals; but Montreal was advertised principally by her railways, manufactures and commerce.As a beautiful and wealthy city, a pleasure resort, a great bus:- Iss centre it was not so well known as it should be.Every traveller from {cronto was a boomer for his city, and the visitors from Toronto never tired \u2018of telling of its beauties and natural advantages.Old home week would give former residents a chance to see how their old home was growing and prospering, and make them so proud of it that they would let the world know about it Present residents also might be educated in the art of booming the greatest city in Canada.whose destiny would vet surpass the dreams of the most optimistic The people of the Maritime Provinces passed through Montreal on the way to cities, farther west, and did not know enough about it to stay off and look it over.This would al be changed after 8 properly
