that the day will come when they themselves will be old, \u2018and that the poorhouse must be their ultimate destiny if they have not made provision against such a contingency.But it will be impossible for them to dodge the issue, and the system of saving which he Annuities Act affords them is postive- ly the only means available by which they can make this provision with absolute certainty, and with the smallest outlay.Explanatory literature mar he obtained at the post-office, or will be supplied on application to the superintendent of annufties, Ottawa.to whom letters may be sent free of post age.CASTORIA For Infants and Children.The Kind You Have Always Bought \u2014\u2014 Bears the AE z e 5 Signature of : I $250,000 FOR Mr.Rodolphe Forgets Gifts Amount to that Sum © $100,000 THE LATEST.Notre Dame Hospital Mortgage Wiped Out by the Financier.Bringing up his gifts to the Notre Dame Hospital to $250,000, Mr.-dolphe Forget tas tion of $100,000.\u2018 The announcement of the latest gift, which wipés out a mortgage of $100,000 held by the Commercial Union Assurance Company, was embraced in the treasurer's report read at the annual Ro- - noon.Ex-Judge Loranger, the president of the board of directors, ocey- pied the chair.The reports showed that of the $208, 000 collected a few months ago, $175,896 had gone towards paying off the debt on the old building, and the balance placing the hospital in a state of re- to carry on the hospital work as at.present until plans are matured for raising the required $300,000 for the new hospital.Mr.Albert Hebert.the treasurer, Tread a report showing the revenue of the Notre Dame and St.Paul Hospitals to have been for the vear ending Dec.31st, 1910, $83,297, while the expenditure for the same institutions.amounted to $106,300.Of this amount $14,060 belong to the construction account of the new hospital on Sherbrooke street east.The deficit is, therefore, $3,809, against a surplus of $7,377 for the previous year.There was loud applause when Mr.- get's generous gift, and later on Judge Loranger announced that he was in\u201d a position to say that Notre Dame: Hospital was saved and that its future was assured as one of the most important charitles in the great metropolis.Dr.Harwood, the superintendent, stated in his report that the number of patients during the year reached - 2,016, of whom 1,186 were men and 830 women.The total days of hospital work reached 38,129.There had been 1,404 patients taken from the hospital cured, 369 taken out in an improved condition, while 109 were pronounced incurable.There had been 132 deaths during the year, the mortality percentage having heen reduced.In the dispensary there were 21,537 consultations and 1,749 urgency cases looked after by the house surgeon and his assistants.There were four graduates from the school for nurses and the demand for admission is constantly on the increase.The report of St.P=ul's Hospital, read by Dr.Rene Hebert, showed that the institution had taken care of 237 cases of diphtheria, 212 cases of measles, 210 cases of scarlet fever, and 37 cases of erysipelas.elected with the exception of Messrs.Turcotte and Roy, who had expressed a desire to retire.consequently their resignations were accepted with regret.The Hon.Louis Beaubien and Mr.Alex.Dube were unanimously elected in their stead.The full hoard as elected is: Judge Loranger.president;

having lament have succeeded in their Bill put down to be taken on the first available day for private members\u2019 Bills, which will be on April 28th.The place was won_by ballot, and ithe result: balloting, caused .a great\u201d déal of Interest in the House of Commons.The Conciliation Committee, which is composed of members of all shades of political opinion, sent a request to the Liberal group formed to advance the cause, asking them to support the Conciliation Bill, and to assist the committee in asking for facilities for the measure this session should the second reading be adopted.A representation was sent to the Prime Minister from the Liberal Suffrage group, stating that the group supports the Conciliation Bill, seeing that it is now to be introduced under a title which will admit of amendments being considered in Committee; requesting the Prime Minister not to take the day which has been won for the Bill in the ballot, and asking that, In the event of the second reading being carried, the Prime Minister will give facilities for the further stages of the measure.The text of the proposed Bill, which is entitled \u2018A Bill to Conter the Parllamentary Franchise on Women,\u201d is as follows:\u2014 (1) Every woman possessed of a household qualification, within the meaning of The Representation of the People Act (1884), shall be entitled to be registered as a voter, and when registered t~ vote for the county or borough in which the qualifying premises are situate.(2) For the purposes of this Act a woman shall not be disqualified by marriage for being registered as a voter, - provided that a husband and wife shall not both be registered as voters in the same Parliamentary borough or county division.NEW FASHIONS IN JEWELLERY That more jewellery than usual is being worn, and that of a more refined and artistic class than has prevailed for a number of years, is the general conclusion of a review of the jewellery situation, as given in the \u2018Jewellers\u2019 Circular Weekly,\u201d in an article entitled \u201cThe Trend of Fashion in Jewellery.\u2019 In the way of articles most in fashion, neckwear has headed the list.Almost everything to be worn on the neck, except, perhaps, the round brooch, has been salable.But the fashions in these articles have changed materially.The stole effects in braided beads _and bands of pearls have passed entirely, as have also the festoon necklaces, and in their place the plague or medallion and the La Valliere have come rapidly to the fore.The former has developed wonderfully, growing more lacy an\u2018 dainty and apnearing not only in diamonds and platinum, but also in gold, pearls and other precious and semi-precious stones.Sometimes in Etruscan finish it is particularly attractive, or when backed by a removable plate of enamel or a piece of silk, which may be changed to suit a costume, it is a most fetching ornament.There is, indeed, a tendency toward the demand for jewellery that serves more than one purpose.Possibly this grows out of the sense of economy that people feel nowadays.But the fact remains that the requirements seem to be for pendant and brooch or locket and brooch and other combination devices., .The article having the second place in the list of popular neckwear is the draped necklace.It is just appearing, and will be of great interest during the year.The central pendant is usually detachable, so as to serve also as a brooch.The watch-chain locket follows closely as a piece of fashionable neck- wear of the season.Sometimes as small as a quarter and exceedingly flat, with enamel on both sides and with a sautoir chain of enameled links to match, and sometimes almost as large as a silver dollar, l Mas had a wide sale.There is a'so :he new ball locket, which opens out in several compartments designed to hold four, six or eight photographs.The single string of pearls, as well as the bead necklace, consisting of al- a LYNN A on THE MONTREAL \u2018DAILY Wrrymse \u201cTHURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25: va - LN > soma .ed ;

that he or she is frequently unable even to read and write, and through lack of training is b.rred from the better positions, to fill which the manufacturer must import workers from better equipped countries.Clearly it is a condition of affairs established, has been shown, so report says, in many ways.It is shown in the skill of the students, in the positions which they take, and in the continued advance which they make.It is showr in their capable womanhood and high aims, in their appearance, their good health, and their moral fibre.It is seen again jn.the attitude of employers, who .from doubt that any school could fit directly for their workrooms, have come to demand the students, to offér\u2019$od wages and to retain these girls\u2019iil slack times.It is shown through the attitude of the wage earners of New York city, who espouse the cause with great enthusiasm, and have given liberally to support it.It has been shown through the attitude of the Trade Union League, who have found tnat it is possible for a trade school not only to work without injuring labor, but to improve the conditions and react favorably upon the character of the industries themselves by making it possible to carry on the higher branches requiring skill.Mrs.Woolman is a gifted speaker.Her lecture will be delivered in the assembly hall of the Rcyal Victoria College on Friday, Feb.24, at 8.15 p.m., and all who accept the Local MRS.MARY SCHENCK WOOLMAN.Professor of Domestic Art, Columbia University, to lecture in the Royal Victoria College which should not be allowed to persist Phe Local Council of Women has been deeply interested in the subjert from the women\u2019s point of view.It has worked hard to assist the efforts of the Royal Commission, and now has much pleasure in introducing to a Montreal audience one who has been active in solving some of New York's similar problems.Mrs.Mary Schenck Woolman is the organizer of the Manhattan Trade School, and professor of domestic art in the School of Household Arts, Columbia University.Speaking from long and practical expe.ience, she very strongly urges the need for vocational classes to be in close touch with primary.schools on the one hand and on the other with the factories.Such special: education she believes is the best means of saving young girls from lives of unskilled drudgery and discouragement, since \u2018the training which a woman receives in the market is too slow and uncertain to be of benefit to the average worker.\u2019 The emphatic surcess of the Manhattan Trade School, now eight years to-morrow evening.Council's cordial invitation to the public to be present vill hear the subject most ably presented.DIFFERENT MENTAL ATTITUDE _Why do so many Englishmen marry American women, \u2014the q money apart?Some interesting opinions from novelists who are famillar with both countries have been given on this question.\u2018The American girl Is no more attractive than the English girl \u2014ex- cept on the surface\u2019 a well known writer says.\u2018When g man gets to Know an English girl well she 1s just as attractive\u2014even more charming than her Americam cousin.English etlquetté makes it extremely difficult for a young man to get to know a girl without it being thought that he Intends to marry her.mother, perhaps, is over-anxious to see her daughter married, and tries to \u201cpush things along\u201d with undue haste.In consequence, the young Eng- | liskman hesitates to pay attention to any girl for fear of her match-mak- Ther eve \u201c afp: JIA à LT > uestion of But her The 1911.pre , mo .à 1 ne\u201d are practically unknown ca.\u2018An Bnglidiméh is attracted by the ts \u2018Anÿ.woman he has ever known; said ness\u2014she is so full of her own life to be indifferent to his regard \u2014a new sensation for tre ordinary Britisher.The American girl has not the \u201chus- band-hunting look\u201d in her eye, and be-all of life.What is the cause of \u2018| this.mental attitude of American women?It is chiefly brought about by their upbringing.All their life they are allowed to associate freely with the opposite sex.Their intellectual training is more complete than that of American men.They are elevated can families aré taught to idealize their sisters.Although, as I! have sald, the \u2018American girl is not a hus- band-hunter, she is really rather attracted by the well-bred Englishman.The English girl's upbringing entirely differs from that of her American cousin.In Fer-home sons of the family come first.She is imbued with the idea\u2014after she has reached a suitable age\u2014that her chief alm in life is to get married.Thus when se meets eligible young men, tke English girl is naturally self-conscious.\u2019 THE HANDS AND HOUSEWORK.It is difficult for the woman who does housework to keep her hands soft and white, but she can at gl \u2018| events, keep them In good conditiôn, and prevent them from becoming reddened and rough.The wearing of gloves at all kinds of dirty work is essential.Several pairs of old gloves for special purposes should be kept conveniently at hand\u2014thick, roomy gloves for handling things about the coal stove or range, gloves that permit the free use of the hands when dusting, rubber protectors to wear when the hands have to be much In hot water, warm gloves loose enough to slip on easily when going out of doors, When, however, the hands have been badly soiled and are really dirty, it is not advisable to resort at once to soap and water; better rub well with a little cold cream or good mutton fat; then wash in the usual way, for the grease loosens tke dirt, and, treated in this way, the dirt will never become ingrained.If the hands or brasses, try rubbing them with glycerine to which a few drops of lemon juice have been added, then plunge hem into lukewarm water and rub well to remove the glycerine and lemon.Another way is to use a preparation made from fine pumice powder and fine soap .powder, mixing these together and keeping in a perforated tin box.Wet the hands and shake on some of this, rub briskly the stained parts, and rinse in clean warm water.- For chapped hands.nothing js \u201cet ter than mutton tallow rubbed in well at night.Another effective lotion is a jelly of cucumber, rose-water, and glycerine, and a lotlon always easy to procure is glycerine diluted with carbolic acid may be added.Any lotion should be thoroughly rubbed in, until the hands are perfectly dry.One's hands will not become chapped if one is always careful to dry them thoroughly after wetting, and does not go out into the cold without covering them.: pr THE \u2018WITNESS\u2019 DAILY PATTERN.The home dressmaker should keep a little catalogue scrap book of the daily pattern cuts.These will be found very useful to refer to from time to time.NO.8894\u2014A UNIQUE WAIST MODEL.For general home or afternoon wear, or for more dressy occasions, this design will be found very effective.The walst portions are tucked over the shoulders, and finished ever the centre front and back with vest or Inserted portions that could be braided or embroidered, or made of contrasting material.The tucker may be of net or lace, and finished with long or short sleeves, or, as shown in the illustration, may be omitted for evening wear.The pattern is cut In B sizes: ., 36, 38, 40, 42 inches bust measure.\u2018It requires 2 1-4 yards of 86 inch material for the waist and 1 1-2 yard of 27 inch material for the tucker for the 36 inch size.BREEERBRLEBESBERBRERBE LEERY PATTERN COUPON.Please send the above-men- tioned pattern as per directions given below.NO.cosovvecen Size .\u2026.rarn+seens0cacèene Name \u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026n.esttda 75000 S van Address in full: sruocoen 1100002000 C0 20002800 0 VRRRA RRERRRURRURARRRAUE N.B.\u2014Be sure to cut out the illustration and send with the coupon, carefully filled out.The pattern cannot reach you in less than a week.Price 10 cents each, in cash, postal note or stamps.Address: Pattern Department.\u2018Witness\u2019 Block, Montreal.pm NOTES AND NOTICES.Empress Special.\u2014 Empress Special will leave Windsor Street Station at 8.26 p.m.Thursday, February 23rd, running Girect to the ship's side at West St.John, for the accommodation of first and second cabin passengers UXXRRPSRERRELLELX AE EE RARE ers and tourist cars) who are booked to sail per R.M.S.\u2018Empress of Britain,\u2019 Friday, February 24th.Meals \u2018a la carte\u2019 will be served in dining car after 7.00 p.m rn others | FI pt \u2014- sere nox | -@MID\u2019s Market, Limited isan girl bécause she differs from F- ne \"anor os an Anglo-American aythoress.He ts struck at Arst by her apparent selfish- 1 Fine Sausage, Pure Kettle Lard, MIiid Breakfas \" Bacon and Sugar Cured Hams il SELECTED PIG PORK, fod especially to make those and individual interests she appears;

both cases will bring them up to the Cavaliers, with a total of fourteen games played to the Frenchmen's thirteen.The situation is made interesting by this race for second berth, and a huge crowd

victories over the locals continues unbroken.The score at full time was 3 to 1 for Wanderers.Quebec scored their only goal in the first period, and Wanderers got two in the second and one in the third.The play, while fast, was at the ragged, neither team seeming to have much system, and the players were all over the ice Quehec made a strenuous attempt to pull off a victory, but they bunched too much, passed badly, and shot too far out.When they did get in an the poles either Hern or Ross was there to save the day, and both the latter put up good games.The Quebec mem missed several

to-night by taking an early 1 in their first game with Parkdale in the senior O.HA.semi-finals.At half time the score was 2 to 1 in Argos\u2019 favor, and early in the second they made it 3 to 1, but in the dying moments, with three minutes to go, Parkdale sfcored two, thus evening up, and ending the game a tie, 3 to 3.The game was by far the most exciting and strenuous this season, being marked by close, hard checking.Park- dale missed Evans badly, his substitute, Adams, being outclassed.The early part of the game, while exciting, was no tgood hoc , but in the second half the crowd gôt their money's worth, with both defences doing grand work Argos suffered more through penalties.The return game will be played on Saturday night, and while Evans will be with Parkdale, the Argonauts on

we have some of them in Canada.My \u2018honorable friend has spoken of some friend of mine on this side of the House, who gave expression to certain utterances in his green and salad days, but we have all been Young, and for my own part I am ready to confess that I have bd my green and salad days too.However, they are over by.this time with me, and I regret to see now that there are some men who are always in their green and salud days no matter how mature in years they may be.I need not mention who the man is on that side of the House who ig still in his gr2en and salad days.This discussion, in which wo are engaged, has given sise to a great deal of comment on both sides of ihe line.Men there are on tne other side of the line who have interpreted this arrangement as meaning ultimately the annexation of Canada to the United States.Men there are on this side of the line who have taken the same position, but I al.glad to say there is not one man on this side of the House who has ever thought of any such thing.It appears that men there are on the side of tne House on which my honorable friend (Mr.Monk) sits whose views upon this auestion are disturbed, and who believe that in the discussion\u2019 of this question of a better trade arrangement between us and our n:ighbors the Canadian people would be so wanting in self-respect that they might be driven beyond an agreement so wise in itself to à conclusion such as my honorable friend dreads.If there are such men in this chamber I repeat that they do rot sit on this side of the House.But if it is necessary in order \u2018to strengthen the wavering fcith of the honorable gentlemen who sit with and around my honorable friend, for ay part I have no objection whatever to accept the present motion ana to say that this discussion will not in any way affect or jeopardize the allegiance of this country to the Motherland.But, it is not worth while discussing that.a : \u201c NO NECESSITY FOR THE MOTION.There was no necessity for this motion.It affirms a principle which everybody is persuaded of, and which no one needed to affirm, but in order te make it doubly sure, in order to affirm not only to this country, but to the other side also that this discussion in which we are engaged does not mean what has been stated by my honorable friend, it may mean I shall for my part vote for his motion, and I hope all on this side of the House will vote for it also.I have to say to my honorable friend that all the correspondence that has taken place on this question has been brought down, why should we not bring it down.What object could we have to serve by keeping anything from this House?I do not know as to whether Mr.Fielding or Mr.Paterson or somebody else has received a private letter or letters, but any correspondence in the hands of the Government has been laid before the House.I have only to say sir, that we will vote for this resolution.MR.BORDEN TAKES CHAMP CLARK SERIOUSLY.Mr.R.L.Borden said if the agreement meant anything it meant that commercial union for which the Premier had fought in 1891, and which his own leader, Mr.Blake, said would lead to political absorption.He denied that the statements of Champ Clark and others had been made jocularsy, and to show this read extracts from the Congressional records.He declared that the time and occasion for entering into these negotiations could not \u2018have been more opportune.Mr.Clark had accepted it as part of the scheme of the Democratic party when it obtained control of Congress.Sir Wilfrid Laurier had placed the people of Camada in an unfortunate position in that when the tariff was brought down they must accept i$ as a whole or reject it.They could not amend it.He had told delegations that his hands were tied.Mr.Borden -said he was sincerely persuaded that it would he the wise part.of Canada and the United States to \u2018deal each with its own tariff irrespective of the other.- Ko FT \u2018 Mr.Borden concluded by saying: \u2018The whole situation illustrates the very serious situation in which a government places a nation when it brings down a treaty and says to Parliament: \u201cYou must atcept or reject it as a whole.\u201d There is à great.difference between this dnd the usual secret tariff.And even these tariffs have been amended; in some cages there \u2018have been many amendments.But in this case, when delegates have come the Government has had to say: \u2018We realize that there is a certain sacrifice; that there is a certain injustice, but our hands are tied.\u201d It is unfortunate that the Government has placed Par- llament in this position.Such procedure is bound to lead to dissatisy - tion.Further, 1 am persuaded that it would be the part of wisdom if both Canada and the United States were to deal with their own tariffs without any agreement.Such an agreement, instead of leading to friendship, will lead to friction.We know that it has been tried before between nations of the Empire, and in every case it has led to just such results as I have indicated.\u2019 MR.MACLEAN AR Tem IS REALISTIC.> Mr.W.F.Maclean (South York) denounced the agreement as a crime against the \u2018constitution.It had been carried out by an irresponsible Prime Minister and an y They had taken *~em the \u201cTe their rights.The Parliament of Canada had not had one single thing to say regarding the making of this treaty.The closure had been put on the House end ponsible Cabinet.\u2019 \\ d JOHN BULL :\u2014Jealous ! friends you'll both be with me ! me Not a bit of it ! \u2026 THE Gather friends you are with each other the better \u2014Westminster \u2018Gazette.\u2019 the country, and they must accept the agreement without amendment.It had been surreptitiously introduced by the czar of this country and the czar of the United States.If our tariffs were to be made at.Washington in this way, it appeared on the face of it that the tendency was the destruction of our national autonomy.There was just one opinion.Canada was on the road to annexation.Mr.Maclean sald the United States was prepared to make tariff concessions to accomplish its political dream \u2014the spread of its nationality over the pole of the North American continent.This agreement meant, said Mr.Mac- lean, that there never could be a tariff bill introduced in this House again without first going to Washington and getting the consent of the United States.Never again would the people of Canada have an opportunity rf discussing, debating, or amending a tariff bill.Canada was losing her tariff independence.We have now to take what we can get.He condemned the Government for entering into this arrangement without consulting the people.WOULD WARN QUEBEC PROVINCE.Touching on the question of commercial union with the United States, Mr.Maclean said that had been the policy of the Liberal party in the past, and it had come back to it as a dog comes back to its vomit, A little later on Col.Talbot objected to the expression on the score that it was not parliamentary.He asked the Speaker to give a ruling.Mr.Maclean said that he had not used the expression in an unparlia- mentary sense, figure of spgèch.Co Speaker Marcil agredd that it was a figure of speech and not unparliamen- tary, whereupon Col.Talbot remarked: \u2018It\u2019s an after dinner expression.\u2019 Mr.Maclean warned the people of Quebec that if the government proposals should lead Canada to annexation with the \u2018United States, they would lose many of their privileges.I?annexation should come in the night he said, the autonomy of Quebec would be wiped out like a flash in the night.: Col.Talbot\u2014\u2018We thank you for your advice.Mr.Devlin, of Wright, asked why Mr.Maclean appealed to Quebec, and the Speaker replied that he had a right to do so because the people of Quebec were his fellow countrymen.He added that it was one of the best provinces in the Dominion.°° Mr.Devlin\u2014\u2018And one of the loyal.Mr.Maclean repeated his assertions as to the danger which Quebec would be in if this organic change should occur, - and noted that not a single Quebec member had made g protest.Mr.Clarke, (Red Deer)\u2014 If the old Tory party of England had its way how much autonomy would Quebec have to-day?Mr.Maclean \u2014 \u20181 am not responsible for the old most Tory party.\u2019 Mr.Maclean x B.Devlin.then declared that Sir Wilfrid Laurier had no right to resurrect commercial union which was repudiated in 1891 without consulting the people in a general election.DOES NOT FEAR ! i VOTE OF -PEQPLE._ ! Mr.Fielding followed, hls speech being marked by a number of interruptions.After a little preliminary cross firing he dealt with Mr.Mac- lean\u2019s statement that Parllament has no voice in this matter.\u2018This agree ment,\u2019 said the Finance Minister, \u2018Is submitted to this Parliament, ang every member is free to vote for or against it as he is to vote for or against any other matter that may be submitted to the House.We cannot give effect to this agreement by any act of ours.All we can do is to present to the House that which we believe, as wa believe this to be for the best interests of the great masses of the people of the country.Agreements of any Kind are -not usually made on the public street.They are necessarily made by conference between thie parties interested ,and in this case the representatives of the people nave a full and unqualified right to pass judgment upon the scheme.: In the face of these facta the member for South York kad proclaimed in ringing tones that never agaln would Parliament have a right to deal with a tariff matter.How could he expect the people of Candaa to be influenced by such statements?Dealing with Mr.Maclean's argument that the people of Canada should be consulted, Mr.Fielding said: \u2018I have had occasion to be associated witk many public matters in this house, and I may say that never was Dr.Chase's

who flaunts his \"loyalty and the woman who flaunts her virtue are both open to suspicion, he said.Mr.Monk asked if the Finance Minister was opposed to tFe motion.Mr.Fielding sald that he was not, it was not necessary.+ - \u201c Mr.Monk\u2014'It it is needed, my hon.frithd had better not attack it\u2019 - : Mr.Fielding\u2014TIt is needed by some \u2018persons and not by others\u2014they that are whole need not a physician.but they that are sick.My Fon.friend proposes that we shall make a declaration of loyalty, the loyalty and the devotion of this house of British institutions.We on this s}jde, have no need of making any such declaration.If there\u2019 is need of this motion it is because the Hon.gentlemen opposite, by their own acts, have talked annexation in this eountry for the last six months.Who ever heard of it before?.a that if Mr.Fielding went on to say a \u2018there are people in \u2018the\u2019 United States who think there is some annexation feeling in Canada Mt is \u2018Pecduse of the public speeches of members of the Opposition and the articles which appear in the Conservative press.Mr.Monk had assumed that because Senator Bennett, at Washington, had moved a resolution in favor pf annexation \u2018that he must be In collusion with the Premier of Canada and the Liberal members.He, however, forgot to state i that Mr.Bennett has two fads at | Washington, one of which is to talk | annexation and the other to defeat this reciprocity agreement.The very man who is promoting annexation recog- mizes that in this commercial agreement there is not a shadow of annexation.As for Champ Clark, Mr.Fielding said that his remarks constituted & dangerous form of humor.With the possible exception of Mr.Clark he did not believe there is a man in the United States holding a responsible position in the front-rank of either party who would seriously desire the annexation of Canada \u2018to the United States.The United States, he added, has al] the territory it can manage, and al} the problems that it cares to deal with.In conclusion, Mr.Fielding said \u2018that if the Opposition thought it necessary in view of their record to make a declaration of loyalty he would be willing to help them make it.LIN SPEAKS FOR QUEBEC.Mr.E.B.Devlin, of Wright County, objected to Mr.Macléan\u2019's appeal to the.Province of Quebec.The appeal, he said, was most unjust, but calculated to attract to Mr.Maclean a certain cheap notoriety.He predicted that Quebec would be loyal to Britisa in- situtions when he and Mr.Maclean had passed away.! _ The motion was then adopted.Mr, H.B.Ames (St.Antoine, Montreal), in resuming the debate on the resolution, first dealt with a number of considerations affecting the agreement.It would unsettle trade conditions in that it would interfere with interprovincial trade, which Canada had been building up since Confederation.\u2018The volume of.trade between the provinces, he said, had grown to be enormous; in fact, eighty percent of all Canada produced is consumed within \u2018her own borders.Producers and consumers in several proviiaces had made trade connections of many years\u2019 standing.It was expected that this would be permanent, or that change, If It came at all, would come gradually.Now all was to be thrown into confusion.- Secondly, the adoption of the agreae- ment meant the eventual abandonment by Canada of the principle of protection.Once the farmers were de- srived of protection on their commodities they would not submit to having the manufacturers treated as a favored «class.Thirdly, Mr.Ames pressed the loss of Cana- lian fiscal independence.If Canada, \u2018inding \u2018herself injured by any pant of the agreement, undertook to make a change, the Americans would select what was most valuable to her and threaten reprisals.Canada could do nothing but grin and bear dit.Or the Americans might find that some feature ofrthe agreement worked too much to fie advantage of Canada, and altered it.If the Canadian Government threatened retaliation, every Canadian interest which was by the remainder of the agreement would protest ageinet being put in jeopardy.Our commercial lite will be in the hands of a foreign H.B.Ames, people.Is it wise to put all our eggs into the same basket and thea entrust the carrying of tt to à 1, whose only thougat fs Xs sewn advantage?Mr.Fielding described Mr.Monk's; and use- oyalty and Mr.Ames pointed out two effects which the agreement would haÿye upon Canada's status as a part of the British Empire.First, it would mean the loss of our export identity.Her Mani- tôba wheat would be known as North American grain.Canadian cheese wquld be indistinguishable from the filled cheese of the United States.The export bacon trade, so carefully cultivated, would be at an end, for Con- adian hogs would go to the United States, and American hogs would be all the Canadian could secure.All | possibility of the securing of the removal of the embargo of Canadian cattle would disappear, when the cattle of the United States could pass freely in and cut of Canadian ports.Secondly, with all possibility of retaining the identity of Canadian wheat and produce utterly gone, there was no chance that the motherland could give Canada a preference, should she feel so disposed.Why, Mr.Ames asked, should these sacrifices be made?If Canada were to bide her time, most, if not all, of the advantages offered would have but that he was going to show that been given her for nothing.One had only to read President YTaft's message to see how the Americans covetea Canadian raw materials.\u2018We are buying in a failing market.The stock will be going for half price to-mor- row, and may be given away the day following.\u2019 Mr.Ames then examined in detail the advantages which the agreement is supposed lo yleld to the farmers.He said that where there was re- clprocity between two countries producing identical or similar results, the risk to the smaller would be the most.The smaller might profit to some extent in times of prosperity, but stood to suffer more heavily In times of stress.The United States produced wheat, cattle, \u2018hogs, etc.; in many of these products even now the imports from the States to Cammada exceeded the exports from Canada to the States.How much more would the balance of trade be emainsi Canada under mutual free tréde?Mr.Amess took the case of butter as an example.United States cold storage warehouses in New York, WC Chiicago, Boston, and Philadejphia at present contained an immense surplus, and prices were coming down.But for the duty, the markets of Canadian cities would be the dumping ground of American butter, and prices to Canadian dairymen would fall accordingly.Further, this agreement virtually meant free trade with the world in natural products.\\ BOARD OF TRADE Street Railway Amalgamation and Improved Roads Discussed.The hill introduced into the Quebec Legislature on Monday last, providing for the amalgamation of the four traction companies on the island of Montreal, was amongst the subjects discussed by the council of the Board of [Trade at a meeting held yesterday afternoon.Some of the provisions of the bill came in for sharp criticism before It was referred to a joint meeting of the council, the municipal affairs committee, and the legislation committee, to consider and report on for next meeting.In connection with the bill now before Parliament, concerning the appointment of a commission to govern grain elevators.it was decided to ask the Government to appoint at least one member who should be cognizant of eastern grain trade conditions.In reply to the council's letter to Sir Lomer Gouin, advocating the construction -of.a - firet-class macadame ized road from Montreal to the United States, border, near Rouse\u2019s Point, as the Canadian/ section of a good road from New York to Montreal, the Hon.J.E.Caron, Minister of Agriculture, wrote stating: that a bill Is now under consideration by the Legislature, providing that over and above the regular grant of fifty percent, up to $1,000, given to each municipality for macadamizing, a Eepecial grant, to be determined: by the Minister, be given, for the macadamizing of the principal road in each municipality.This provision, Mr.Caron thought, ought to be sufficient to induce the munpet: palities from Montreal to Rouse\u2019s Polat to gnacadamize the principal road going their respective limits, as the cost to each municipality would be very small.\u2019 Mr.R.J.Dale, chairman of the municipal affairs committee, reported that a committee had heen formed to meet the different municipal councils along the route between Montreal and New York, with a view to getting them to move in the direction of road improvement.RUSSIA EXPRESSES REGRET.\u2014 For Massacre of Prisons by Czar\u2019s Soldiers, Teheran, Feb.23.\u2014 The Russian Minister has expressed regret on behalf of

REVISION OF TEXT BOOKS Protestant Council of Public Instruction Discusses Changes \u2014 TEACHING OF FRENCH.Request from Point-aux-Trembles College Laid on the Table.At the quarterly meeting of the Protestant Committee of the Council of Public Instruction at Quebec, the quadrennial revision of text books, which will take place this year, was discussed.The text book committee has been at work for some time considering changes which should be made in the list.A large number of books have passed under reviewsin- cluding the text books which are now being used in Ontario.These books are published \u2018at a very low figure, and ît is quite probable that some of them, at least, will be authorized for use in the province of Quebec.The final report of the com- mittes will be submitted at the May meeting, when action will Be taken.The Rev.Principal Rexford reported for the Course of Study Committee.Some years ago teachers complained that the work required for grade I.academy was too heavy, and that for grade II academy too light.A year age the amount of work in grade II.Was Increased.The teachers now complain that the committee has overdone the matter, and that there is too much work for grade II.In these two grades some changes will be made, Dr.Shurtleff reported for the committee on French.Since the last meeting of the Protestant Committee thé Government had made a grant of $3,000 to make It possible for school boards to engage experts as teachers of this language.It Las therefore become necessary.for the committee to thake regulations concerning these gravts.An advisory committee on French advised that those who desired to be recognized as expert teachers of French should attend the summer school in connection with McGill University, and take the examination for the advanced certificate which is held at the close of the school.This recommendation was adopted.Regarding those who may become teachers in the future and desire to qualify for this certificate, it was recommended that a speclal course should be provided if possible by Macdonald College, in order that teachers in training there may secure the necessary knowledge.This was also adopted.Information concerning the summer school will be sent throughout the province in order that those who wish may avall themselves of {ts advantages.It is probable that a portion of the $3,000 grant by the Government will this year be used towards defraying the expenses In part of those who may attend the summer school.Dr! G.W.Parmalee, secretary of the Protestant committee, reported that since the last meeting Miss Ferguson, who represented the teachers\u2019 assocla- tion of the committee; had died, and at Mr.J.C.Sutherland had resigned rom the committee on account of bis appointment as an officer of the department.At the last session of the committee there was a request for a grant to the Point aux Trembles school.This was refused on the ground that the committee was not justified in granting public money to institutions of this kind.A letter was read from Rev.8 J.Taylor insisting that there was no attempt made in the way of proselyting, and that the school should have the grant.After considerable discussion the letter was laid on the table without any further action being taken.A communication from the teacher training committee of Macdonald College recommended that any revenue from the McGill Normal School property should be used for the training of teachers.When the Normal work was taken over by Macdonald College the Normal School building was rented to the Protestant School Board of Montreal.The Protestant Com- \"mittee felt that the Government should hand over to them any revenues which were received from the | butlding, inasmuch as they had been relieved from the obligation of maintaining the normal school for the Protestants.A representation to that effect will likely be placed before tbe Government.The secretary reported that Messrs.J.H.Hunter, M.A, and C.W.Ford, M.A., had passed the Inspector's quali- fving examination with first-class rank.The secretary was authorized i to grant them certificates to that ef- » fect.The report on poor municipal'ties i and also on bursaries for teachers In | training was presented.In connection with the report for bursaries, the secretary submitted tte recommendation of the Provincial Teachers\u2019 Association far released for cause from \u2018the promise required of the teacher to teach three years in the province ot Quebec.The secretary reported increased stores sell at 50e.box, or post free.« ment in the Diet to-day.Friends and purchasers because of absolute merit, its beautiful, sweet, pure, singing tones, its honesty of construction, its durability, its fair price for so much quality, all combine to establish its popularity.Write or call at our Warerooms\u2014 600 St.Catherine St.W.For catalogues and full information.WILLIS & C0.LIMITED, Manufacturers and sole contractors, Knabe, New- combe and Dominion Pianos, Autopianos, Cecil- ian, Farrand Player Pianos and the Willis Player Pianos.votes for education for next year and proposed amendments to the pension act.The committee for conducting the June examinations, which will begin on the 12th of June next, was appointed.There were present Mr.Justice McCorkill, W.Peterson, LL.D,, C.M.G., Rev.A.T.Love, D.D.;

London, Feb.238-\u2014Mr.C.F.G.Masterman, Under Secretary for the Home Office, speaking at Abingdon, said if the proposed reciprocity treaty between Canada and the United States had broken the idol of tariff reform and caused the dropping of taxation of food in the policy of the Tory party; and if it made for a better and clearer relationship between the United States and ourselves and the emlargement of peace, then surely all this country would welcome it from the bottom of their hearts.MR.ROOSEVELT'S STRONG APPROVAL.- Chicago, Feb.23\u2014Mr.Roosevelt in the last of three formal speeches here yesterday warmly advocated the proposed reciprocity trade agreement with Canada, and scored Congressmen, who he said were responsible for hindering the confirmation of the agreement by means of an \u2018annexation scare.\u2019 Mr.Roosevelt was cheered when le advocated the proposed reciprocity agreement with Canada, and praised President Taft for the efforts the president is extending towards its confirmation.\u2018I not only believe in the agreement on economic grounds,\u201d said Mr.Roosevelt, \u2018but because I feel it should be & cardinal object of our policy to strengthen in every way the relations ef amity and mutual self-respect between us and our great and growing neighbor on the north.\u2019 SIR EDMUND WALKER ISSUES DENIAL.Toronto, Feb.23.\u2014Sir Edmund Walker, president of the Bank of Commerce, denies the statements made by an evening paper here that the anti- reciprocity pronouncement signed by | Sir Edmund and seventeen other prominent Liberals had been shown by him to the bank directors and ap- Sir Edmund says that his signature was the expression of his own personal views, and that some of the directors, particularly Benator Edwards, of Ottawa, strongly favored reciprocity.IMPERIAL FEDERATION THE ALTERNATIVE?St.Paul, Feb.23.\u2014Discussing an attack upon him througn a letter from a North Dakota farmer, read in the United States Senate Tuesday, Mr.James J.Hill, of the Great Northern Railway, said: \u2018The pending reciprocity treaty before Congress is the most important this country has had before it since the civil war.If, after having Canada waiting forty years.we turn her down again, our country will suffer, and one of the hardest hit of our industries will be that of wheat raising.\u2018Great Britain is waiting and watching for just that thing to happen.Within the fortnight Austen Chamberlain had called up for decision in the British Parliament the measure providing an Imperial federation for Great Britain and her colonies.\u2018Suppose that Canada joins the Im- periæl federation of British colonies.as is proposed.A reasonable differential that Great Britain might impose upon our wheat would be fifteen cents a bushel, and that would mean sociated Boards of our wheat growers would find their whole product lowered that much per bushel in value.Great Britain would take over practically all of the $200,- 000,000 in round numbers that Canada.now pays us for manufactured articles, then add the six hundred and more millions we export to Great Britains and we find that, if we fail to adopt reciprocity agreement with Canada\u2018 and drive it to an Imperial federation, we are cheapening our wheat crop annually, say fifteen cents per bushel, and at the same time we are losing $800,000,000 of export business to England and Canada.\u2019 ONTARIO BOARDS OF TRAVE.Adopt Resolution Expressing Disapproval of Agreemnet.Toronto, Feb.23.\u2014The Associated Boards of Trade of Ontario, at their closing session yesterday afternoon, passed by a large majority a resolution condemning the proposed reciprocity agreement.The resolution was proposed by R.S.Gourlay, president of the Toronto Board of Trade, and seconded by the Hon.E.J.Davis, who controls an extensive tanning business, and who was commissioner of Crown Lands under the Hardy and Ross Liberal Governments in Ontario.The resolution, which was substantially identical in wording with that passed last Thursday night by the Toronto Board of Trade, concluded with this paragraph: \u2018In the opinion of tne Ontario As- Trade, the proposed agreement threatens Canadian nationality and autonomy and is opposed to the true interests of Canada, and should not be ratified.\u2019 The small minority who opposed the motion fought vigorously, and only after the defeat of an amendment was the original motion carried.Mr.Gourlay emphasized the unfairness of 8,000,000 people trying to trade with 100,000,000 people on even terms.He stated that it would practically be a merger of two producing and trading - countries, with Canada as minority shareholder.The flow of money from Great Britain would be checked.The Hon.Mr.Davis said that the two arguments used for reciprocity in the United States should set Canadians against it.One was that an- nexation- would result, and the other was that if the Democrats got into power drastic changes in tariff would be made.Both arguments should ally all Canadians against the caprice of a political party.Mr.Davis said he was proud of the British preference, but if it was rals- ed to 50 percent, as was being advocated, it would injure many Canadian manufacturers.PIOTECTION PRODUCES TRUSTS.The first dissenting word came from Mr.Steinhoff, of Stratford, a handler of cheese, butter, eg.s and poultry.He said better prices for these products meant more money to every department of business.Regarding the danger of trusts in Canada, Mr.Stein- hoff said the high protective tariff was responsible for them.; Mr.Jaffray, cf Galt, refuted the argumerits of Mr.Steinhoff by comparing prices of butter and eggs in Buffalo and in his own town of Galt.The speaker preferred to have American manufacturers come over to Canada and build factories.An amendment was moved by Mr?A.Stewart, of Guelph, who claimed that the delegates of the Boards of Trade in this province had .no right to declare themselves on reciprocity, because the subject had not been discussed by many of the individual boards.The speaker's question was greeted with erles of \u201cNo, no\u2019 Mr.A.J.Young, of North Bay, seconded the amendment and also declared that the division of opinion on the question of reciprocity would be along political lines.(\u2018No, no.)
