CHARGE FROM A NINE POUNDER.Winnipeg, Man.May 31.\u2014Shortly after noon yesterday a break occurred in tlie telegraphic line somewhere north of Saskatoon, and in consequence communi cation with Duck Lake and Prince Albert was cut off.At 3.30 this morning communication with Duck Lake was restored and the following despatch received: \u2014 Duck Lake, May 31, 8.30 a.m.\u2014The Prince Albert volunteers got impatient yesterday afterncon and prevailed on the officer In chargeto allow them to rush the bluff,which they did at 2 p.m., led by Wm.Drain, Jas.McKay, Q.0., and police officers Wilson and Macdonald.On the first rush they did not find the hiding plices of the Indians, They again went through, killing the only remaining Indian, Almighty Voice, and another Indian were killed by sheils from the nine pounder.No further casualities occurred on our side.Tho dead have been brought in.The father of Almighty Voice is under arrest here as an accomplice.No further trouble is anticipated.The remaining members of the contingent from the Mounted Police for England who were expected to pass through Winnipeg yesterday, were detained at Regina for a couple of days in consequence of the trouble.It is ex- uected they will proceed east on Tuesday.THE NEWS IN OTTAWA.Ottawa, Ont, May 31.\u2014Almighty Voice is dead.Comptroller White of the North-West Mounted Folice, received a telegram this morning from Commissioner Herchmer at Regina stating that on Bunday morning the police, after shelling the bluff on which the Indian and his companions had made a stand since Friday made a charge killing a boy who was the only living occupant.Almighty Voice was found dead baving evidently been killed by a bursting shell.In Friday\u2019s fighting one Indian was killed, making three in all, The companions of Almighty Voice are supposed to have been his cousins énd ail belonged to a decidedly lawless section of the Indians of the Prince Albert District.It was because of this and the knowledge that the relatives of the murderer had been giving him shelter and nw't cœuse trouble if Woport dt; oici- ed thatit became absolutély Hecessary to make an end of Almighty Voice.An unconfirmed report has reached the Comptroller that it has been found necessary to amputate Inspector Allen\u2019s arm.There were no further casualties attendant upon the capture of the bluff.The killed and wounded in connection with the affair are: Killed\u2014Sergt.Colbrooke, killed last fall; Corporal Hocking, Constable Kerr, Ernest Grurtly, postmaster, Duck Lake; Almighty Voice and two Indian companions.Wounded\u2014Inspector Allen, Sergt.Ravens, Constable Venne.Comptroller White thinks that Almighty Voice, knowing that he would assuredly be killed, decided to make a greater record than Charcoal, the Indian who ran amuck last year and killed an inspector.He certainly succeeded.Mr.Sifton, Minister of the Interior, when seen this morning just before the receipt of the telegram announcing the death of Almighty Voice, said he had \u2018no reason to anticipate any trouble in the West and hoped no storiea of an Indian uprising would be telegraphed over the courtry.He did not think there was any disposition toward restlessness on the part of the Indians generally and the Mounted Police were quite capable of keeping the peace in tbe North-West.The Jubilee contin- gert would not leave unless the difficulty ware settled.ee A PARTY OF GALICTANS.All day yesterday a curious crowd moved in and out of the C.P.R.Wind- gor Station, attracted by the peculiar aspect and dress of some hundred Galicians \u2014rien, women and children.This party, arriving in the morning, had been placed in the immigrant sheds awaiting the train this morning to take them to their destination in the North-West Territories.They certainly presented as strange an appearance as could well be imagined.The men wore long hair, gtreaming on their shoulders, and sheeyn- skin coats, in which they profusely perspired, while the women, though they tan wore the sheepskin upper garments were barefooted and bare-legged to the knee.They were unable to speak a word of English, but looked their thanks when they were offered fruit and other cides by those in the crowd which ecarcely ever slackened the whole day.Ihe pariv left this morning for their | destination.APPRECIATED THE SYMPATHY.Chief Benoit af the ire department received a letter from Col.Varigard, chief oi the Paris Are brigade, to-day, thank- Ing the Montreal fire brigade for its letter of sympathy for those who suffered through the late disastrous fire in Paris.The letter in conclusion said that sympathy from Canadians was always deep- iy appreciated by citizens of France.| the husband and father.DIED FROM THE FRIGHT.FATAL RESULT OF THE EARTHQUAKE IN MONTREAL\u2014ONR MAN BECOMES DEAF.The earthquake which shocked Montreal last week, has been productive of serious, and in one instance, fatal cou- sequences.Henri Paquette of No.46 Bonsecours street was talking to a couple of friends in his place of business when the phenomenon made itself apparent.The crashing noise which accompanied the quake appeared to him so violent that he has been deaf ever since and can hear nothing.He says that the only thing apparent since the shock is a constant rumbling noise in his ears.There died yesterday the young daughter of a merchant on Craig street of convulsions, following fright caused Ly the earthquake.The shocks threw her into an hysterical fit, which developed into convulsions with fatal results.Quite a number of persons throughout the city are still suffering from the effects of the fright, and in one instance, that of a lady, life is despaired of.The last shocks have had a terrible effect on people with weak nerves.-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.PROMPT ACTION OF A FIRE CAPTAIN PREVENTS DISASTER.Capt.Dolan, of St.Gabriel street fire station, performed a daring act this morning, which won the admiration of an excited crowd on Notre Dame street.Mr.I.Prefontaine, a lawyer, drove down to his St.James street office this morning behind a mettlesome little bay horse.The animal when the owner had entered his office took fright at some passing object, and started to run.It careered round the court house to Notre Dame street, where it knocked down a man on a bicycle.It left the greater part of the buggy against a trolley pole, dashed into a baker's waggon, and then into an express waggon, throwing both drivers off their seats and on the street, and finally stumbled on the corner of St.Gabriel street.Capt.Dolan saw: his opportunity, and threw his whole weight oa the head of the animal just as it was struggling to rise.Despite its furious kicking, he held it there until others rushed up to assist him.ORDINATION OF MR.H.D.LEITCH Mr.Hugh D.Leitch, who graduated this spring from the Presbyterian College in this city, will be ordained to-day at St.Elmo by the Presbytery of Glen- THE REV.HUGH D.LEITCH.garry, Ont.\u201cMr.Leitch will assume the charge of the Presbyterian Church at St.Elmo to which he has received a un- arimous call.tree SENT TO THE NORTH-WEST.The Polish woman, and her three children, referred to in Saturday\u2019s \u2018 Witness,\u201d were sent forward this morning on free passage granted by Mr.Tait, the general manager, to Yorktown, in the North-West Territories, to meet The company kept the helpless creatures for three days and rights at its own expense, in addition to providing them with free transportation.The poor woman tried to express her thanks this morning for all that had been done on her behalf, but had scarcely sufficient English at her command.Her little, ycllow-haired daughter, however, who never left the mother!s side all the time (though the boys rambled about), said thenks many times in good English.The father was located by the company\u2019s telegraph, when it was found that he was working on a free grant of one hurdred and sixty acres of land, and iniagined that the sale of the furniture had brought quite a bit of money to his wife.> WHY THE JUDGMENTS WERE COMPARATIVELY FEW.When the Court of Review opened this morning for the rendering of judgments, Chief Justice Tait remarked that the judges had been exceedingly busy during the past month.Besides an effort to clear oil the arrears in the Court of Fn- quete and Merits, contested elections anid reconnts of ballots had come in, and the result was that they were not now ready to render as many judgments in review as they would wish.They hoped, however, to be able to dispose of the other cases \u2018en delibere\u2019 during the month cf June- - {#55& Tokest noth, \u201cthe Porte\u2019 insists pes SITUATION IN GREECE.FEELING SAID TO BE GROWING AGAINST THE ROYAL FAMILY.\u2014_\u2014 Athens, May 31.\u2014The Crown Prince has received an invitation to attend Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee next month, and the opportunity for such a visit has given rise to much discussion in Athens.Very elaborate measures have been taken to preserve order.Besides the regular police and gendarmes a civil guard has been recruited from \u2018the most trusted citizens.Consequently.with the presence of the foreign warships at Phalerum, it is not thought that any revolutionary movement in Athens cauld succeed.In the provinces, however, a very bad state of affairs exists.The criminals who were released from the Thessalian prisons on the eve ot the Turkish occupation have formed themselves into bends, and are pillaging right and left.The efforts made to cope with them have so far proved fruitless.The Turkish newspaper \u2018Sabah,\u2019 which only publishes what is endorsed by the Turkish Government, congratulates the inhabitants of Thessaly upon their alleged decision in favor of Turkish rule, tnd points out the blessings of the Ottoman regime to the Christians, who, it is claimed, will benefit by low taxes and exemption from military service.The Sultan\u2019s show of resistance to the powers is generally attributed to German backing, but it is also rumored that negotiations betwen Turkey and Russia have been proceeding this month relative to the eventual administration by Russia of a portion of Asia Minor, including Rizeh, in the south-east corner of the Black Sea, and the territory up the Joruk River.: Constantinople, May 31.\u2014The Turkish Government has replied to the collective note presented by the ambassadors to the Porte, on Saturday last.The ambassadors then announced that they do not object to the conclusion of a military armistice, which the Turkish Government insisted must be signed between the military commanders in the field, after which the Porte will negotiate the peace conditions with the ambassadors, the treaty to be signed by the Turkish and: Greek plenipotentiaries in Thessaly, In Leman oR ah armistice of a fortuight, which cam be renewed in the event the peace Xe gotiations are not finished.The Porte, however, desires that peace be concluded as soon as possible.Constantinople, May 31 \u2014An irade has just been issued and communicéted to the representatives of the powers, by which the Sultan agrees to an armistice of a fortnight, beginning May 30.French instructions, consequently, will be sent to Edhem Pasha, the Turkish Commander in Thessaly.Paris, May 29.\u2014The Athens correspondent of the \u2018Journal\u2019 asserts that Prince Constantinos after the retreat from Do- moko attempted to commit suicide with a revolver on learning of the intense feeling against him .The correspondent adds that the Prince was prevented by his officers from taking his life.Athens, May 29.\u2014The Turks have occupied a position in the neutral zone.The Greek Government has protested against this movement to the representatives of the powers.London, May 29.\u2014The correspondent of the \u2018 Morning Post \u2019 at Constantinople says: \u2018To-day (Friday) the embassies received word from their respective ministers at Athens that the position of the Greek Royal \u2018Family is now critical.Kirg George is practically barricaded in the palace, and it is reported that he is making preparations to leave Athens in order to evade the fury of the populace.The relations between the King and Premier Ralli are very much strained, and the general situation is extremely serious.\u201d COMMERCIAL RECIPROCITY DETROIT MANUFACTURERS MUCH INTERESTED IN THE SUBJECT.A COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO INVESTIGATE THE QUESTION.Detroit, Mich., May 31\u2014The recent speech of Erastus Wiman at the Detroit Chamber of Commerce banquet set the members of the M: nufacturers\u2019 Club to thinking, and the result is the club has decided to do what it can toward the betterment of the commercial relations between the United States and Canada.The club referred the matter to the committee on trade extension, which referred it to Messrs.E.E.Armstrong and James Inglis.Those two gentlemen have drafted a resolution to be submitted to the club at its meeting on June 22, endorsing the resolution introduced by Congressman Hitt and urging the Senators and Representatives in Congress to hasten its passage.The Hitt resolution Ee MR of three commissioners by the President to meet a like commission from Canada to consider the best method of extending commercial relations between the two countries, said commission to report to the President, who will lay the report before Congress, the initiative to be taken by Canada.Mr.Inglis has been in correspondence with statesmen and manufacturers in the east, and has received one letter, which says :\u2014\u2018What purpose is being served by a tariff as severe against Canada as against other nations where \u2018 conditions justify protection ?The conditions are equal between the two countries ; a commercial nnion between them would be a cure for hard times: Let us at least set experts to work to discover if it is not so.No harm can come of that.Do not let us forever drift apart, when by inquiry we may discover a possibility of mutual development for mutual advantage.\u2019 THE.EARTH TREMBLED.EARTHQUAK¥E OF TO-DAY AND OF A HALF A CENTURY AGO.Kingston, Ont., May 31.\u2014Throughout L the townships of Kingston, Loughboro and Storrington the earthquake on Thursday night was felt quite severely, particularly in the township last named.Chimneys were wrecked, dishes overturned and smashed and general havoc resulted.At the home of Mr.John Hogan, near the Sand Banks, the chimneys were shaken off coal oil lamps and fell crashing to the floor, the lamps barely escaping from being upset.Dishes were thrown down and broken and furniture rolled about.Mr.Edward Moore, a neighbor, got up from bed and ran out of the house, thinking it was tumbling down.Similar demonstrations are .reported from various parts of the township.The farmer folk were terribly frightened, and the quake is the sole topic of conversation.The tail end of the shock seemed to fag out in this neighborhood.Twelve years ago a slight shock was felt in this city.It lasted~only a few seconds.Twenty-eight years ago, however, quite a severe quake was felt in this entire district.Windows were shattered, dishes broken and houses built solidly cf stone trembled violently.Old residents say that fifty-five years ago the earth quaked in an alarming mapner, destroying property and household chattels.The.shock was followed by.a gevepe gale, the waters being lashed 4 fury by the ever-changing air-eurrents.People who remember the shock say -it |river, reported] some: time ago.in\u2019 the caused great fear among the inhabitants.PARTY CAUCUSES.OPPOSITION TO MEET TO-MORROW AND GOYERNMENT SUPPORTERS ON WEDNESDTY.SEVERAL IMPORTANT TOPICS TO COME UP FOR CONSIDERATION.Ottawa, May 31.\u2014The real work of the session is just beginning.No serious work has yet been done.Both parties have determined to meet in caucus and see what support the leaders can count on in regard to legislation on the government side and amendments from the Opposition.The Conservatives meet tomorrow and the Liberals on Wednesday.The bill to make the comptrollers Cabinet Ministers will undoubtedly raise the whole question whether Canada\u2019s Cabinet is not too large.No one will deny that a first-rate man like Mr.Patterson must bave equal rank and salary, but on the general question no one will deny that thirteen or fourteen Ministers are top many for this country.It is talked of that the situation might be met by an amalgamation of the two revenue departments and the two record departments, namely, the Customs and Excise, and Privy Council and Secretary\u2019 of State.There is no reason in the world for the existence of the Department of Trade and Commerce.One of the subjects to be discussed and settled \"at to-morrow\u2019s caucus, is the policy of the Opposition with respeet to the close of the session.While the Premier will be leaving on Thursday for England via New York, the government \u2018is quite prepared to carry out the ses- sional programme in his absence, or at least so much of it as may not be included in any compromise with the Opposition.A VERY BAD MAN.FURTHER SWINDLES OF H.W.M\u2019DONNELL, Cornwall, May 31.\u2014Referring to Henry W.Macdonnell\u2019s swindling operations in Florida before he came to Cornwall, and after imposing on a lot of people induced two young men to go south with him, the Tampa (Fla.) \u2018Times\u2019 says Macdonnel} is a very bad man, and goes on to tell how he swindled several ladies, a minister, and a land agent.He sold ten shares : of stock in a company which is now found to be fictitious, for $700 cash, the face value being supposed to be $1,000.He cashed several cheques on a bank in Mobile, Ala., which were returned protested.Macdonnell made a deal for a number of West Tampa lots valued at $11,000, and gave as a first payment a calls for the appointment of a committee Prati gL _ es RE ut = ET a A ri fee 6 GOT A eam emai on rt 's oe Hi So re Gof oar _{ghot

bold game for big stakes.The swath he cut in Tampa would make him the envy of the slickest rascal in the country, and the people who were his victims are now pondering over their own gullibility.\u2014_\u2014 SHOT HER FATHER.HE WAS INTOXICATED AND ATTEMPTED TO SLABH HER WITH A RAZOR.Mount Clements, Mich., May 31.\u2014 F rederick E.Heidt, a farmer in Warren township, nine miles

wife and \u201cFour- monthe-old son, under the name of Jean Baptiste .Leblanc.-Heé haÿ \u201cbeen ' hete since April 27 and bas not been out of the house since May 28, when the New York papers published his picture and record.He was recognized by his picture, and the fact that he wrote a prescription which was filled at a drug store.This prescription was printed on a note-head on which was engraved a crest, which crest was also printed on his card.A \u2018Press\u2019 representative called on the doctor and asked if he was not the man so many were looking for.He admitted he was Dr.Griffin, but said all the companies in which he was interested Were legitimate business concerns and that he had not be: guilty-of any wrong.His wife then visited the lccal papers and pleaded with the editors to keep out of print the news that the doctor was in town.She said her busband had been sick and in trouble, and it would be an act of mercy to keep his identity secret.She wept and admitted that about one-fifth of the charges ageinst her husband were true, but eaid he was not as bad a man as painted.The doctor ordered diamonds worth nine hundred dollars since he came to this city, but has been living at a retired and quiet boarding house.He was also anxious to keep his identity from becoming public, but the police were informed and they have sent out notices to New York and San Francisco that he is in the city and being watched, and will be arrested if -wanted.Griffin said he did not fear to face his accusers, and he could prove that all his business trensactions were honest.BRIE CHI DE voa 5 WAGGON STRUCK BY A TRAIN.Denver, Col.,, May 31.\u2014A apring waggon driven by Henry Marsau, a carpenter, and containing eight children, ranging in age from three to nine

Lt.- Colonel Henshaw, Lieut.-Col.Whitehead, Lieut.-Colonel Stevenson, Lieut.-Colonel Gardner, Lieut.-Colonel Massey, Lieut.-Col.\u2026yman, Lieut.-Colonel Caverhill, Lieut.- Colonel Labells, Lieut.-Colonel Butier, Lt.- Colcrel Bond, Major Sam.Hughes, M.P.; Captain Whitley, Major Ibbotson, Major Costigan, Major Blaikiock, Major Sims, Major Seath, Major Cameron, Capt.Mitchell, Captain Ibbotson, Captain Brown and Lt.Heriot.From the armory the Vics proceeded by way of Dorchester, Windsor, St James and Notre Dame street, to the castern entrance of the Champ de Mars.The road was not a good one, inasmuch as thers were almost more holes than pavement, and in these hoows muddy water lay in wait for immaculate boots and leggings.The City Council, think some of tho men, might celebrate the jubilee by repairing these pavements in time for the big parade of next month.Except for the evonts of June 20 for all they as a regiment would care, fer with the Inspection thelr assemblies cease until next spring.The inspection this year seemed rather less spread out than formerly.Thare were na fewer mcvements, but considerable less waiting in between.The inspecting officers, Lieut.-Colonel Maunsell, R.R.C.I., of Frdericton, N.B.; Lieut.-Colonel Houghton, D.0.C., and Li=ut.-Colonel Roy, D.S.O., rcde on to \u2018the square a minute after the men had formed into lice, and were re- Tha general salute was done very prettily, and the march past in column at the trail and return in quarter column were almost all that could be desired.Formation then followed forma- tien with the quickness if at timas not quite the symmetry, of a kaleidoscope.In forming square the men showed themselves perfect, each unit being quick, correct and alert.Finally, thero was the fall-out and 1e-assomble, and the march home by Beaver Hall Hill Before dismissal Lizut.-Colonel Maunsell in a short address complimented the regiment on their creditable performance.Kpowing the Vics\u2019 reputation he had come expecting a great deal, and was not in the least degree disappointed.The marching hud been good, the step jaunty, the ferma- tions excellently carried, and as far as he had observed, there had been no crowding or talking in the ranks.The efficiency attained must have been the result of hard work, In the recruiting class, by sections, by companies, and as a regiment.He would indicate just one direction in which great improvement might be made.The firing was not done at all as it should be, and as this was a most important branch nf the volunteer's training he hoped special attention would be paid to it.Colonel Starke thanked the inspecting officer for his kind words, and the men for their hard work, complimenting Sargt.-In- structor Rivet also for the energy he had put into his duties.Colonel Starke re: minded the men of the government {ar LL, ragtice on June 12, the Vics\u2019 band concert, | Faune 17, and parades on June 20 and 22, and asked for a full attendance at each.-Cheers - having been given for the Queen and the Colonel the regiment dismissed, No.4 Company making in the direction of a dinner spread at Welsh & Rough\u2019s, No.5 going to Interview a photographer, and the remaining companies.partaking of refreshments in thelr rcoms or proceeding home to supper.The parade state, while numbering seven less than last year, was very creditable indeed, and was in detail as follows: Lieut.-Colonel Starke in command;

In\u2018 some districts no small amcunt paid i by way of outdoor relief found its way \"into the pockets of sturdy, able-bodied I claimants who in many cases were in addition in regufar receipt of the average wages of the district, or simply depend- | ed for their living out ofthe parish rates, EPEC SIE 14 S57 ae PTE PTE Mn 4 PE RER RAIN ape CY oe rangements were got rid of, and much of the existing system -established, the number and limits of the unions rearranged and the whole placed under the direct\u2019 control of a government department, should have caused much dissatia- faction among these impostors, who had come to look upon their weekly subsidies \u2018from the parish as a vested right, and their clamor was sufficientlv loud to excite a good deal of unreasoning hostile sentiment in various quarters towards the new system, which has, however, survived or silenced its critics.The average expenditure for the relief of the poor in the twelve years 1823-1834 was nearly $32,000,000, and for the twelve years fol lowing, after the passing of the new act, about $24,000,000.The care of sick and\u2019 bédridden poor is only one of the grand operations of the improved laws.Statutory provision makes it compulsory on the guardians to have all pauper children educated up to a certain limit.Competent medical attendance and medicine must be provided whenever necessary, and counties and boroughs must provide lunatic asylums for pauper lunatics, under the supervision and control of the lunacy commissioners.It is only right to say that many boards of guardians go much beyond the requirements of the statutes in dealing with their poorer brethren.Much still remains to be dore, no doubt, to perfect the Poor Law system, but it is rather in matters of detail than in its entirety, and as now administered it is probably the most humane and beneficent provision on a large scale which the world has ever known.With all the praise we can give it,.\u2018however, as a British institution, we congratulate ourselves exceedingly that a national poorhouse system has so far not been necessary in Canada, and that we may fairly hope that none ever will be.It is an axiom that wherever accommodation is provided for paupers there will be more paupers, and i¢ is practically impossible to associate paupers .together without creating an atmosphere, bad at least for some of them, if not for all-ef them.We hope, therefore, that, with the growth of prospetity and of \u2018tempérance and the increasing operation of Christian beneficence, we may less and less need the institution of an unnatural system by which the home is wiped out.What is now beneficently proposed is a national order of home-helpers, the working of which, instead of breaking and obliterating home ties, will be to make family life more sweet and its ills more tolerable.It is impossible to measure the benefit that would accrue in the homes of the poor by gentle suggestions frcm-a visitor of recognized capacity as to how to secure health and comfort.Sometimes it will be what food to buy and how to cook it so as to make it a benefit and not a harm to the family.Scmetimes it will be lessons in the care of children, a duty on which many parents enter with absolutely no know- Jedge.The mother's instinct is no doubt worth more than expert advice, but to have both is best.Scmetimes it will be instruction as to the needs of ventilation and sanitation, matters in which the majority of people sin against themselves in pure ignorance.Sometimes it will be bearing the family burden when home strength is strained to the breaking point.Sometimes, let us hope, it will be the bringing of hope in the power of salvation to the home cursed by temptation.These are the errands on which we hope to see the messengers of mercy who are to bear the badge of our Queen doing in thousands of Canadian homes into which the title of a Victorian nurse will no doubt become an, infallible passport.A SERIOUS FIRE.THREE HOUSES AND CONTENTS DESTROYED.Shortly before twelve o\u2019clock last night the firemen of St.Jean Baptiste Ward and St.Louis du Mile End were called out to battle with a very serious fire.The fire commenced at No.515 Carriere street, and despite afl the efforts of the brigade spread to the adjoining house, No.517.As both were of wocden con- strretion, it was only by demolishing No.519, also of wood, that the fire was confined to such a small area.As it was, the three houses.with their contents, were completely destroyed, and as many families have lost their all, as it was impossible owing to the rapid spread of the flames for the poor people to save much.The loss is placed at between $5,000 and 26,000, with very little insurance.It is said.the upsetting of a lamp was the REN cause of the disaster.| } i Under the auspices of the Montreal Branch of the Gleaners\u2019 Union, and the Montreal Diocesan VWoman\u2019s Auxiliary, a valedictory mecting was held in the fynod Hall on the evening of Friday, May 28, to bid Godspeed to Mr.Kristen Berup, who hopes to go to Uganda next September, as a missionary of the Church Missionary Society, and as the first missionary sent to Africa by the Church of England in Canada.In spite of pouring rain, the hall was well filled, and the proceedings were of a most enthusiastic character.The singing was under the direction of the Ladies\u2019 Choir of the Gleaners\u2019 Union, and, led by Miss Bengough\u2019s violin, the hymns were most itnpressive.The number of clergy and laymen in the body of the hall as well as on the platform was noteworthy.The Lord Bishop of Montreal presided and opened with prayer and a lesson.The Rev.Canon Dixon, rector of St.Jude's, from whose parish Mr.Borup goes out, said that ne was grateful to God for putting it into the heart of one of his flock to go to the foreign field, for the day he goes will be a good day for St.Jude's.It is not giving men and means for the work abroad, but selfishness and narrowness at home that injures the church, and he believes many of his past parochial difficulties would bave been lessened, had St.Jude's taken more interest formerly in foreign missions.The Rev.E.Bushell, rector of St.Matthias, whose parish is \u2018 appropriating\u2019 Mr.Borup, as its own missionary, and pledging itself to $300 a year for this purpose, said that they deserved no praise for undertaking this, since it is only our bounden duty to share our spiritual privileges.Ignorance of the true nature of Christianity and of the actual depravity of heathenism, accounted, he thought, in large measure for the apathy of the church as a whole about the evan- gelization of the world.When the right spirit is aroused, the means are forthcoming.so he felt no anxiety either about Mr.Borup's stipend, guaranteed through their branch of the Woman's Auxiliary, or about funds for the rebuilding of their own church.The Rev.Prof.Steen, after referring to the fact that both Mr.Borup and he are of Scandinavian origin, spoke of the miseionary character of our own Diocesan College, which had already sent several men to the North-West ; and said that Mr.Borup\u2019s great success as a student there, and the prizes he had won, were an earnest of the patience and resolution and capacity which are so much needed in the mission field.Missionary enterprise is no nineteenth century \u2018freak, but has been the glory of the church in all the best ages of her history.Professor Carus-Wilson on behalf of the Montreal C.M.S.Committee, very briefly told how Mr.Borup had been enabled to carry out his desire, as a Canadian churchman, to euter upon the career of a missionary, remarking that the guiding hand of God had been seen throughout in obstacies overcome and difficulties removed, and that a beginning had now been made in accomplishing the aim set before them from the first, that each parish in Montreal should be responsible for its own missionary.Dr.Davidson, Q.C., on behalf of the Puard of Domestic and Foreign Missions, told how willingly that body had acceded to the proposals of the C.M.S.Committee, and accepted the responsibility of sen:ling out Mr.Borup.After a forcible exposition of the missionary motive, he continued, (turning to Mr.Borup), I am not here to laud you for going out; you have a blessed privilege in being so called of God, and his power will be your strength in obeying that command to evangelise the world which is the fundamental, initial and final work of Christ\u2019s Church on earth.Mr.Ernest Carus-Wilson, who has beén working with the C.M.S.in Ceylon since 1892, welcomed Mr.Borup to the ranks of its missionaries, saying that the C.M.S.had been aptly callel * The society for bringing back the king.\u2019 During the Queen's reign it has sent out 1,600 missionaries, of whom 700 have gene within the last ten years.Since 1887 its ordained missionaries have increased from 247 to 400 ; its lay missionaries from 40 to 106; and its women missionaries, (not counting wives), from 22 to 238.The Church is waking up, but when we compare the number of workers with the needs of the field, we hear from every part of it the cry for more men and more money.We are only playing at missions after all.The church as a whole is disobedient to the command of commands, and where there is disobedience, there cannot be blessing Mr.Carus-Wilson then made a stirring appeal to all present to ask, each for himself, the question, \u2018Lord, what would'st thou have me to do in this matter ¥ Mr.Borup then asked for the prayerful sympathy of all present, begging that Gleaners especially would remember him ou the sixth day of cach month, the Jay for Uganda in the C.M.S.Cycle of Prayer.He promised to keep them informed of what God is doing in Uganda, reminding them that even in that most encouraging field, difliculties and obstacles must be encountered.Cat oA i ut A Sabri el ET a a re The Bishop of Montreal then address.SEE bay tin Me ide sat Low?bless you, God fill you with his Spirit, God give you power from on high, that you may in all things glorify his name.\u2019 He then invited all present to offer up silent prayer for the outgoing missionary, after which the Rev.G.O.Troop, rector of St.Martin\u2019s, concluded the proceedings with a fervent prayer of commendation.reel JOHN F.NORRIS\u2019'S LAST POEM.The following is the last poem written by the late Mr.John F.Norris, editor of the Victoria \u2018Colonist,\u2019 a notice of whose death appeared in the \u2018Witness\u2019 of Iri- day last.The poem, which was published in the \u2018Colonist\u2019 of Jan.10, is written in memory of Mr.Henry Lawson, ! Mr.Norris's father-in-law, and now in the words of ons who loved him it is his own \u2018fit requiem\u2019 :\u2014 HENRY LAWSON.\u2018Requiescat in Pacel'\u2014\u2018After life's ntful fever he sleeps well!\u2019 .Working\u2014The faithful toller did his best: His duty both to God and man his constant alm: To ald, instruct and raise he labored with a zest And, self-forgot, car'd not for praise or blame.Thee may we m2et upon the farther shore, Brother, not lost, but only gone before!

therefore, though we sorrow, bid thee sweetly sleep.~~ CHILDREN AND THE CHURCH.INTERESTING SERMON BY THE REV.DR.EVANS.At Emmanuel Church yesterday morning the Rev.Dr.Evans preached his sermon from Prov.xxii., 6, on the proper training of children in connection with the church.He remarked that he felt more and more convinced with the lapse of years and the growth of experience that if the world is to be brought to Christ it must be through childhood, and therefore there must be some changes made in some of the church doctrines before the world could possibly be righted.In past years the idea of a child of about fourteen years of age joining the church had been viewed with distrust, and the fact that children must know and experience the fruits of sin had been an unwritten article in Christian creeds.If pastor and flock lacked experimental religion it would be the same with the lambs, and this was the state of things in the time of Wesley, the Puritans, and in Europe to-day.After mentioning his dislike of the practice of stating the exact hour of conversion Dr.Evans said that most of the people outside the church to-day were there because they were not looked after between the age of ten to twelve vears.The increasing attention being given to child life showed that Providence was pointing out to the church her duty to look after the young.Willingness to do God's will was the test of the child's religion ; if willing, the child is an essential Christian.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEMBLY.As a number of commissioners to the Presbyterian General Assembly, which meets in Winnipeg on June 10 are under the impression that they cannot return free unless there be at least three hundred in attendance, we are requested by the Rev.Dr.Warden to state that no matter what the attendance 1s all commissioners who pay single fare going will return free.This is in ac cordance with the explicit arrangement | made with the railway companies, us stated in the circular issued by Dr.Warden a month ago.mr WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.There are to-day in the United States hundreds of thousands of electors who are sincere in the belief that at the next election Mr.Wm.Jennings Bryan will be the choice of the people for President.His wonderful eloquence and charming .personality have won for him since the last election many staunch supporters who had not previously had the opportunity of coming into personal contact with him.Mr.Bryan will lecture in Windsor Hall on Saturday evening next, June 5, and no doubt the capacity of this large hall will be taxed by those anxious to sce and hear this remarkable man.THE DEAN OF OTTAWA.nesday evening next at Christ Church Cathedral, Ottawa.The new dean is a native of Ireland, and, coming to Canada, graduated from Trinity College, Toronto.Ile was ordained deacon in 1853 and priest in 1854 at St.James\u2019s Cathedral, Toronto, by Dr.Strachan, Bishop of Toronto.At various periods he has been curate at St.Catharines, rector at Carleton Place and rector at Merrickvillee In 1874 he was appointed archdeacon of Ottawa, which pcsition he has since held.\u2014\u2014 THE REV.ABBE DANIEL\u2019S JUBILEE The Rev.Abbe F.Daniel, of the Or der of St.Sulpice, celebrated yesterday the fiftieth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood.As already mention ed in the \u2018 Witness ' of some weeks ago, when a sketch of the life of the venerable priest was published, the different schools and institutions with which he has been connected, have been celebrating the event by anticipation for some REV.ABBE DANIEL.time past, but the official ceremony only took place yesterday, which was the exact fiftieth anniversary of the abbé's ordination.The Church of Notre Dame had been specially decorated for the oc casion, and the altar vas brilhantiv illuminated, the cipher \u201850\u2019 coming out in bold relief in the centre of the de corations.Bishop Emard of Valleyfield officiated in full pontificals, and the choir and cr chestra rendered a mass specially rehearsed for this occasion.Represents tives from all the religious orders aud a large number of priests from the city and neighboring parishes were present in the sanctuary.Abbé Daniel himself occupied a seat of honor, having on eacil side his two oldest confrères, the Rev.Abbés P.Rousseau and Tallet.After the communion.he was led to the foot of the altar, where, in the presence of the officiating bishop, he renewed The sacerdofal vows pronounced by him fifty years ago.In referring to the ceremony from the pulpit, the Rev.Cure Troie re marked that there was one special feature in the life of the veneratle priest now honored.namely, that the whole fifty vears ot his sacerdotal career had been devoted to ministerial work in this parish of Notre Dame.The Rev.Abbé Lecocq, dean cf the faculty of theology of Laval University, delivered the official sermon and referred to the import ance of catechising the young and jpro- moting foreign missions, two works with which Abbé Daniel was intimately connected all his life.\u2014_\u2014 DECORATION DAY WITH HAN COCK POST.The annual decoration services of

match from that division.The secretary telegraphed from Battleford, however, that owing to special duties, presumably the Indian trouble, they would be unable to fire.JUVENILE BAZAAR.By the kindnese of Mrs.Maclaine, a bazaar was held by some children of the district, in a barn on St.Luke street, on Saturday, for the benefit of the Infants\u2019 Home on Guy street.The work in connection with the function was a genuine labor of love with the promoters, and though no doubt many things were lacking that would be considered necessaries in an adult affair, still these wants were more than made up for by the energy displayed by the stall-hcld- ers.A satisfactory conclusion was arrived at when the managers, Misses Gladys Mc- laine and Gladys Gilbert handed over $3.16- to the matron of the above-named deserving institution.\u2014\u2014\u2014>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MONTREAL FLOWER MISSION.The annual meeting of the Montreal Flower Mission will be held to-morrow (Tuesday) afternoon

before.Lewis, Degan and Jack Broderick are also in good condition, while Jack To- bin seems to bo better than ever.Jack Adams, while playing the other day, fell and recelved an ugly cut in his arm.which will keep him from playing for some time.It is doubtful if the White brothers will be in condition for the first match, but If they are not the Victorias have a score of young players who are anxious to be tried on the senior team, and who have been practising steadily for a month past.They are the festest lot of Juniors Cornwall ever had.Every one of them ls a perfect stick handler, and play an almost perfect combination on the home end.The Vics are being run as a training school for tha Cornwalls, and among those who ara likely to graduate Into senior ranks at an early date are Charley O'Callaghan, a splendid home player; W.Black, a brother of the famous Alex.Biack: W.Munroe, Earl Murray and Donald Cameron, James Kervin, John Carr.A.McCourt, R.Hess, R.Madden and James Canavan, are also coming men.On the whole, the team that will go to Toronto to play the first match will not be as strong as Cornwallites later in the season, but the boys will make a desperate effort

81\u2014The fifteenth National Championship Meet of the Canadian Wheelmen's Association, which will be held this year in Chatham, Ont., on July 1, 2 and 3, bids fair to eclipse all the previous annual gatherings.The cycle club of that city, realizing that this should be a jubilee year in cycling matters, as well as in all others, offers a prize list the most valuable Canada has ever seen and more than double that given at any preceding national moet.The special features are the $1,000 \u2018Jubilee\u2019 handicap at two miles for professionals, and the Century road race over the famous Talbot Road, recognized as the finest stretch of road in Canada to-day.The big handicap was promised by the Maple City people when bidding for the meat last spring, and it has created much ir terest throughout the country, entrieg beginning to come in as soon as it was announced officially.The purse will be divided as follows:\u20141st, $700, 2nd, $125; 3rd, $75; 4th, §50; 5th, $30; 6th, $20; and as the handicapping will bs done jointly by C.Wand L.A.W.handicappers, every one will be on equal footing.The entry fue is $10, closing Monday, June 21.The Chatham Cycle Club's track at Peninsular Park will in a few days be in the best of condition.To those who have never seen it, it may be well to soy that it is a half mile clay surface track with wall banked turns and perfectly safe.Ib showed it~ self last season tho fastest clay track in Canada, and the average time at the August meet was better than at any other of the circuit meets.Late in the fall under most unfavorable conditions, the Davidson-Dun- bar tendem team did a half in 55 3-5 seconds, and Angus McLeod an unpaced quarter in 26 seconds.It was decided upon last October for record breaking purposes by such well known riders as the Davidsons, Angus McLeod, Frank Mcore, H.Hulse, A.McEachran, Percy Brown, Alf, Young and a dozen others.It will be of interest to the racing men tc know that they will be exceedingly well cared for at the National Meet at Chatham next July.The training quarters at Pen- ingular Park aro the most commodious and convenient to be found on any Canadian track to-day, and whether thera be 100 recing men tnere, or 5C0, there will be ample accommodation for everybody.Aibert T.Allen, Detroit, official handicapper Michigan Division L.A.W., has con- gerted to act as assistant starter at the National Meet in Chatham next July.The full programme of events for the Naticnal Meet at Chatham, Ont., next July is as follows: AMATEUR.1 mile rcvice .\u2026.ve es .3 prizes 1 mile open .+ «i cilia «+ .3

lodging committee.The Chatham committee has placad the admission fee to the race track next July at 25 cents, with 25 cents addi:ional for grand stand.Seats in the grand stand may be reserved beforehand at the rate of 50 cents each, on application to the Meet Secretary.A BIG BICYCLE MEET.Kingston, Ont., May 31.\u2014The Canadian road club, Toronto, has written to the Kingston club that if the Toronto civic holiday is arranged for the same day as the Kingston event.Aug.9, the club, 250 strong.would wheel down here on Saturday and charter a sieamer and make a tour through the Thousand Islands.The Kingston Club will be asked to arrange details for a twenty mile road race to take place on Monday morning, good prizes being offered.The visiting wheelmen would also take part in the club races in the afternoon.The Kingston Picrele Club takes quite kindly to the suggestion, FOOTBALL.The scheduled match between the sentor teams of the Scots and the Mets took place con the latter's grounds on Saturday last, resulting in a victory for the Mets by five goals to nothing.THE VICTORIA PRACTICES.The Victoria Football Club will turn out for practice this evening at 8.230, and Wednesday and Thursday of this week.on Fletcher's Field.All members are requested to turn out.The team for Saturday's match will be chosen after Thursday's practice.Cornwall, Ont.May 29.\u2014The third match in

expected the game was a hard and stubbornly contested one, and the excitement towards the conclusion of the match when the score stood two to two, was intense.The teams scored a game each in both halves.bit In spite of des- Perâte efforts the tie was not broken.Mr.Eardley Cocns, of Morrisburg, refereed.This is the third tie in the series, Cornwall aud Iroquois, and Morrisburg and Iroquois, having drawn the first two games.QUOITING.The gold medals presented by Messrs.Currie, Connaughton and Scullion will be played on the St Gabriel.Club grounds, Centre street, on Saturday, June 26,weather permitting, the draw to take place at 12.30 p.m., sharp, and any player drawn, and not present at 1.80 p.m., will be declared off.The match will be 21 points, and the last two 3L points.The

of gofing events.A considerable number of ladtes and gentlemen were golfing, and fifteen of these lunched in the club house.The lady golfers selected to play in the Interprovinclal matches, taking place at Toronto to-mor- row, have already left the city, and will thus be in time for the tournament.mer INTERESTING POINT OF REGIS TRATION.Judge Delorimier rendered an interesting judgment on Saturday in the case of Pett- ser et al.vs.Dame Delphine Lapalme.The plaintiffs, as heirs of the late J.B, F.Marin, sought to recover from his widow, the present defendant, certaln property the usufruct of which was granted by her marriage contract, should she survive her husband.The action was based on the ground that the marriage contract was never regls- terod.The court held that Marin, for fall- ure to have the marriage contract regia- tered, was responsible to defendant for all damages to which she might be exposed by reasor of the non-registration, and the plaintiffs as heirs of Marin were subject to the same obligation, and, therefore, they could not deprive the defendant of the usu- fruct to which she was entitled.Action dismissed with costs.\u2014\u2014\u2014e WILL KEEP HIS SEAT.Judge Pagnuelo rendered judgment on Saturday in the case of Riendeau vs.Dude- voir.As already mentioned In the \u2018Witness.\u2019 this was a contestation of the election of Councillor Dudevoir of Maisonneuve, The defendant's seat having been declared vacant by the council, he was again re- clected by the people and his opponent then took out the present proceedings to have his election annulled on the Jround of disqualification.The Court ismissged the petition on the ground that petitioner had failed to comply with the law which requires security for costs to be given.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 NOTES AND NOTICES.Call and see the \u2018 Henley\u2019 state-room trunk\u2014the latest thing in this line\u2014 most convenient.Can get the article you want without moving

while, as often as not, 1 find myself without a gun at all, but only a small revolver.Perhaps it is as well I have never met a real lion.The reality might be even more awkward for me than my dreams suggest.However, 1 am not likely to have this put to the proof.But [ have a great respect, as I have said, for a man who has really faced a lion and shot him.Now Brindley has done so.I aluays liked him, but I have a sort of reverence for him now.He has shot a lion quite lately, so I feel a very great respect for him.This is how I came to hear about his feat.Brindley is in the army, and a very rising young officer.The last I heard of him was that he had gone to Africa, so when a few weeks back 1 met him coming into the club 1 was surprised.What brings you here, old fellow ?I thought you were in Africa.\u2019 \u201cWell, so I was.I only got back three days ago.\u2019 \u2018Glad to see you.it ?.\u2018Oh, pretty well\u2014not so much sporl as I could have wished.\u2019 \u2018 Shooting !\u201d I said in astonishment.\u20181 thought you were surveying.\u2019 \u2018 Right again, and I shot as well.\u2018My dear fellow, I congratulate you.What did you shoot ?\u2019 You may imagine the thrill that passed through me when he said \u2018lions.1 was delighted.* My dear fellow, come and lunch with me and tell me about the lions.\u2019 When he said he was due at the Horse Guards I was quite depressed, but on learning he was to dine with a bachelor friend that evening whom I knew very well, T arranged to meet him there and hear about the lions.This is the best of bachelors, ycu can dine with them without invitations.After dinner Basset and I turned upon Brindiey, and said, \u2018Trot out the lion, old boy.\u2019 It was not very easy at first, for Brindley, like all brave men, was loth to talk about himself, and there was nothing heroic, he said, in his story.It was quite true, there is nothing heroic in the story, but what of that ?It is about a lion.At last we got him (Brindley, I mean) fairly started.\u201cWell, of course I was anxious to get a shot.at a lion,\u201d he commenced, \u2018and I told the natives to let me know whenever they found any tracks.I had gone up country, vou know, with Fisher, and had three weeks\u2019 leave.Not a lion could we see, or hear about, for a fortnight.We shot other game, but no lions.At last, three days before our leave was up, our servant came and told us that a lion was in the neighborhood.The natives had seen him and found his tracks.Weren't we excited, that's all! We made the necessary arrangements, and abeut an hour before sunset we three trotted off to the spot where the lion war seen.The place was a plain, with plenty of scrub about, and a small pool of water, near which were a few trees.Our preparations were as follows: First we made a platform in one of the trees for ourselves; then a bullock was killed at the foot of another tree about thirty yards off, and then we climbed to our platform and waited.It seem a long while till midnight, for we knew the lion would not come much before that hour.There was a brilliant moon, however, and we soon had sport.The pool close by us became thronged with game.Deer of ell kinds came to drink, and there were numbers of jackals, who kicked up a shocking row.Nothing seemed to check them.I remember a leopard leaped suddenly into the group, and bore off a fat young jackal ; byt the others went on as if nothing had happened.Well, watching this scene (of course we didn\u2019t shoot at anything), the time somehow passed, and then our real sport began.\u2018 Suddenly above the row, at the pool, there rose a sound I had never heard before, but I knew what it was at once.There came the roar of a lion.The effect was magical.As quick as you wink your eye that pool was deserted.Not a deer, or jackal, or any other creature was to be seen.The stillness Was so intense after all the noise that I thcught I must be dreaming.But another roar, and I recovered myself.About two hundred yards away out of a strip of brushwood there came a lion.He bounced into the plain a few yards, and then stood still and roared.I tell you it was a magnificent sight.The brilliant moon lit up the whole scene as if it were day, and the shadows only made the bright patches more effective.But the lion was not in a shadow: he stood there in the monlight like a king, and roared in hia pride.I never felt how true a title \u2018\u201c king of beasts\u2019 was till then.At the ome roar every animal had fled, and he was a monarch out there in his lonely grandeur.\u2018He must have stood there quite a quarter of an hour sniffing towards the bullock, and now and then roaring, but k How did you like he didn\u2019t come nearer.Ile seemed suspicious.At last he turned round and leaped back into the thicket.You can imagine the disappointment we felt.We two, Fisher and I, wanted to get down and follow him, but our shikaree would not hear of it.\u2018You no move; he come back again.\u201d True enough, in about half an hour the lion came out of the bushes, and Jooked towards the carcass.At last, as if he had made up his mind, he took a leap forward and trotted up to the dead bullock.\u2018Now I believe we ought to have waited for a good twenty minutes, till he had gorged himself, but I confess I was so excited that I was shaking all over.The wonder is I didn\u2019t fall off the platform.Fisher was the cooler of the two by a long way.At last I made signs to Fisher that I should shoot, and, as he had shot at lions before, he nodded.I pulled myself together by a great effort, and steadied my rifle.Bother it, my finger was as unsteady as it well could be.It was no good waiting, so I fired.Of course I missed\u2014at least, so I thought.Fisher followed me at once, but the lion was gone.\u2018When we came down in the morning.from our tree we found that one- or, other of us had hit the lion, for across the plain was the mark of blood.We determined to follow.The natives were called up, and after breakfast we set off as hard as we could peg.\u201cFor three hours we tracked that lion, and at last came on to a small knoll covered with brushwood, and here the marks stopped.Plainly he was in there.Imagine our feelings when we discovered we had left our heavy rifles behind by some mischance, and that Fisher and I had only a light rifle each for small game.I suppose in the hurry of starting the native who ought to have carried tha heavier rifles forgot them.Our old hunter would on no account allow the lion to be started till we had our proper rifles.I daresay he was right, for it would Have been folly to attack a wounded lion with such light guns.Fisher and I wanted to try, but we gave way to the old man\u2019s earnest entreaties.It seems he had seen one or two lives lost through the same recklessness.There wee all waited while the runners went back for the rifles.At last they came, and then, standing in front of the rock, I looked out for my lion, most tremendous row, and threw stones into the bushes, and beat as near as they dare to the rock, calling the lion all sorts of opprobrious names, till at last there was a terrific roar, and our friend leaped up on the rock and faced us.\u2018 The natives at once subsided, and ran for shelter.Once again everything was quiet, and I could not help thinking what brutes we were to hunt this grand old fellow to death as we were doing.He looked s0 fine, alone on the rock, with blood-red eyes and lifted mane, his tail savagely beating about, and every now and then a mighty roar coming from his capacious throat.But it was no good waiting and admiring, for at any moment he might come down on us.So aiming at his chest I fired, and I heard the crack of Fisher's rifle following mine.To my great satisfaction, I saw the brute stagger forward a pace and then fall on his side.He was shot dead.My first lion was before me.: \u2018I claim him as mine, for we found, on examination, that the night before I had broken his forepaw with my shot, ADVERTISEMENTS._ IST SMALL Yet LARCE A dollar bottle of K.D.C.is a small thing as regards size, but when Its contents are taken for any form of indigestion, ft is then that you see its largencss.It\u2019s the Mighty Carer of Stemach Ills, The great men, the good men of Amcrica, hoLestly recommend it, for they have tested its merits.If a dollar bottle of K.D.\u20ac.were prepared in liquid form it would be sufficient to fill a quart bottle, go you see that while K.D.C.is the best as regards merit, it ls the cheapest as regards quantity.Write for a sample.- are splendid for the and restore them to The K.b.©.Pills iver and bowels, althy «ction.K.D.C.COMPANY, Limited, New Glasgow, Nova fcotia, ;

CEE I ora as 10 THE QUEEN'S JUBILEE.ALL LONDON AGOG OVER THE PREPARATIONS FOR THE FESTIVITIES.EXCITEMENT INCREASING EVERY HOUR \u2014 A SPECIAL WELCOME AWAITING CANADIANS.London, May 20.\u2014The town is already jubilee festivity.At Chelsea Barracks there is a motley encampment of Zap:iehs from Cyprus, Housses from the Gold Coast, Dyaks from Borneo and troopers from the Cape.At Agricultural Hall, at the other end of the town, the royal military tournament has opened with recruits from the length and breadth of the empire, and with bush fights and war dances and a really splendid series of pageants.The streets are astir with unwonted movement and soon will be aflame with color.Strange uniforms and dark-skinned warriors may be geen at every turn in the thoroughfares and parks.Beggars and tramps have also swarmed into London by legions.Every lodging house is full.The Salvation Army shelters have been crowded and the work-houses in the provinces have been warned against assisting casuals in their pilgrimage to London to see the show.~The jubilee functions have virtually opened with the trooping of the colors of the Horse Guards, which was witnessed by the Indian princes in their brilliant uniforms, and by a vast assemblage, pulsating with indifferent to the rain.dinners and the Foreign Office reception, which followed this birthday ceremony, were attended by ambassadors, officials and the London world of wealth and fashion., The state concert last night threw open Buckingham Palace to all the dignitaries from the colonies and royal guests from the Continent who ; have arrived.The jubilee music was excellent, Mme.Eames, M.Plancon, Signor Ancona and Mr.Edward Lloyd being the chief singers.Every night there are a score or more great parties, balls and dances.Royalty is constantly on exhibition, whether at hospital dinners, flower shows, or first night ballets, like Sir Arthur Sullivan's.The opera is well attended nightly.The town is filled with foreign musicians, whose services are in demand not only for public concerts but for private entertainments.The Kneisel quartette gives to-day its second concert in St.Jomes\u2019s Hall, and is playing constantly at great houses, winning compliments evervwhere by the vigor, delicacy and refinement with which its programmes of chamber music are performed.M.Del- croze, the Swiss composer, is introducing his own work in London halls and houses.While the West End is revel ling in gayety, the Lord Chamberlain and all the other masters of ceremonies are arranging a thousand details connected with the jubilee week, and police officials are wondering how the millions of sightseers can be controlled and protected against panic and crush.More serious than the chance of being cheated by speculators is the risk of Dbe- ing crushed by the ternfic pressure of the swarming millions which block the approaches to the route of the procession.The authorities are considering the advisability of suspending carriage traffic by night as w:ll as by day.This will render it necessary for spectators anxious to see the illuminations to cast themselves adrift in the swollen torrents of humanity, swirling down Whitehall, the Strand and Fleet street, to St.Paul's and the Bank.UNWELCOME VISITORS.New York, May 30-\u2014Mr.Harold Frederic cables to the New York \u2018Times\u2019 :\u2014 \u2018It is impossible to keep the jubilez out of one\u2019s talk now.It slips in unawares at every pause.The central parls of London are beginning to recall the Midway Plaisance, so bewildering in scope and variety are the costumes of the outlandish strangers who are arriving and going about to see the sights.England has so slight a talent for pageantry, compared with the more feudalized lands, that it is unlikely that her gathering of representatives of her subject races will ecual in spectacular value that wonderful procession of Asiatics which Moscow beheld a year age.Yet the show will at least be immeasurably beyond anything ever seen before in an English- speaking country.\u2018There are to be two visiting princes who will go a good deal against the English grain.Nothing but the compulsion of hospitality will secure civil treatment for the Grand Duke Sergius, who is loathed not only for the martyrdom he imposes on one of the Queen\u2019s granddaughters, who is his wife, but for his own vile character, which, if he were merely a poet, instead of a prince, would force him to be undergoing a reformation in a prison cell.The prospect of seeing Abdul Hamid\u2019s son riding through the London streets as an honored guest also fails to please the popuiar fancy, and various plans for protesting publicly against it are under advisement.\u2019 A JUBILEE HYMN.London, May 30.\u2014The diamond jubilee hymn, written by Bishop Wakefield and approved by the Queen, will be included hereafter in the English prayer- book.It has been set to music by Sir Arthur Sullivan.The hymn has four { The ministerial - stanzas, and it is entitled \u2018Oh, King of Kings.\u2019 It concludes as follows :\u2014 Oh, Royal heart with wide embrace, For all her children yearning, Oh, happy realm, such mother-grace With loyal love returning.TT Where England's flag flles wide unfurled All tyrant's wrongs repelling, : God made the world a better world For man's brief earthly dwelling.A WARM WELCOME FOR CANADIANS.New York, May 30.\u2014The London correspondent of the \u2018Tribune\u2019 says :\u2014 Mr.Laurier\u2019s tariff proposals have been hailed in England as the best testimony of the fervent loyalty and patriotism which the jubilee year has called out from the world-wide empire.Whatever changes may be required by the imperial treaties with the most favored nation clause, nothing will be done to discourage the aspiration of the Dominion of Canada to lead the way towards imperial federation.Mr.Laurier will be a hero among the colonial premiers next month, and the Canadian contingent will be received with popular enthusiasm.\u2019 TAKE THIS WITH A PINCH OF BALT.London, May 30.\u2014The preparations for celebrating Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee have brought into prominence the fact that there are persons who have objections to recognizing to the full and logical extent the principle that colored men are brothers.Officers and men of the various military and police forces from all parts of the empire are arriving in London in a steady stream, and for the most part are being lodged in ordinary barracks.The privates get along famously with Tommy Atkins, who does not worry much about color, provided the colored man is properly deferential and willing to spend his pay in minis tering to his.white comrades\u2019 creature comforts.The difficulty is with the officers, who will not have a colored officer at the same table.In London, so far, the matter has not gained sufficient pub- icity to cause a scandal, but a somewhat similar difficulty in Dublin has set the newspapers by the ears.The officers of i the Royal Irish Constabulary refused to mess with the black officers of the Gold Coast Constabulary sent over with a squad of men.The result is that the negro officers have to walk something like two miles to their meals.One of them, Captain Willoughby, who is described as \u2018a fine, athletic young fellow, with a pleasing, candid countenance,\u2019 resents this treatment, and talks of getting it bronght to the notice of the Queen.Should he succeed there would be pretty serious trouble for the Irish officers, for the Queen has fine, old-fashioned notions about the absolute equality of her subjects of all colors and creeds, and, as is well known, one of her most trusted servants, who is always in her company on public occasions, is a highly colored and learned Hindoo.rele QUEER DOINGS.ORDERS-IN-COUNCIL THAT HAVE VANISHED.SOME THINGS WHICH REQUIRE VENTILATION.May 29.\u2014After the Cabinet Mr.Marchand and his colleagues proceeded to Spencerwood to call upon the Lieuten- Another Cabinet meeting was held this forenoon, after which the ministers separated until Tuesday next.: Quebec, meeting yesterday afternoon Hon.ant-Governor.THE COLONIZATION GRANTS.It appears that one of the last acts of the Flynn ministry was to distribute among their party friends the colonization grants voted last session for the fiscal year beginning on July 1 next, and one of the first acts of the new Minister of Colonization and Mines, Mr.Turgeon, was to cancel the whole arrangement.VANISHED.It is no longer a secret that the resignation of the ex-Flynn Government was precipitated by the refusal of Lieut.-Gov- ernor Chapleau to sanction a large number of orders-in-council passed and appointments decided upon by the defeated ministry.But the question now is, what has become of all these orders-in- council ?It appears that they have completely vanished and that no trace of them can be found.The question, however, of their adoption seems to possess a certain importance.It is said that one of them provided for the appointment of the Hon.I.Beaubien to the Legislative Council in the place of the Hon.Mr.Dorion, resigned.In that case a vacancy existed in the Upper House which was created in the regular way by oie nation, and the fact of the Governoris refusal to let the ex-government ill it : did not cancel it or replace matters as ; thev were previously.But neither resignation nor order-in-council can now be | found.though there is no question that i both had an existence, and it is understood to he the intention of the new government to make a very searching inquiry on the subject.MAGDALEN ISLANDS.The Hon.Charles Langelier has accepted the Liberal candidature for the electoral division of the Magdalen Islands, which has been offered to him by the principal Liberals of the islands and wili leave for there next week with a few friends to open his electoral campaign.The nomination is fixed for June 17 and polling for July 3.ce A new ordinance in San Francisco, aimed at the Chinese, prohibits the spraying of clothes in laundries with water emitted from the mouth.THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.ALMIGHTY VOICE.NORTH-WEST MOUNTED POLICE AFTER THE MURDEROUS REDSKIN.IS BAFELY ENTRENCHED BEHIND A FRIENDLY BLUFF.Regina, May 30.\u2014Out on the prairie a few miles from Duck Lake, near the Bellevue school-house, is a small bluff of about five acres.On this bluff are two Indians.Gathered completely around it, at a safe distance, is a force of North- West Mounted Police, nearly a hundred strong, with two field guns, a seven- pounder and a nine-pounder, and a Maxim gun.The two Indians are fighting for their lives; the policemen are seeking an opportunity of avenging the lives of four of their comrades, shot down in a vain attempt to capture the Indians who hold the wooded bluff.Dead or alive, those two Indians must be captured.The Indians know it.One of the Indians is Almighty Voice.For years he has been an Indian of bad repute.In October of 1895 he was arrested for killing cattle, but escaped later.An attempt was made to capture him and in it Sergeant Colebrooke of the Mounted Police, lost his life.That was the first known murder of Almighty Voice.He escaped, and all trace was lost of him until last week when information of his whereabouts reached the police.Again an attempt to capture him was made.On Thursday last the searching party found him, and for a third time Almighty Voice escaped.A settler named Venne was assisting the police and he was wounded.Reinforcements were sent out.One party from Duck Lake, under Inspector Wilson, and another from Prince Albert, under Capt.Allan, gave the desperate Indian a lively chase.On Friday morning they found him in the bluff above described.An attempt was made to capture him, but Almighty Voice, who had been joined by two other Indians, held the party off.They not only did that, but wounded two of the party.Capt.Allan was shot in the arm, and Sergt.Raven was wounded in the leg.The police saw that it would be impossible to get up the bluff during the day time, and so the nightfall was awaited.THREE MEN KILLED.Then an attack in force was made on the bluff, but it resulted in failure, Not only that, but it cost the attacking party three lives.Corporal Hockin, Constable Kerr and Mr.E.Grundy, postmaster at Duck Lake, were killed.The bodies of the two former now lie on.the prairie.They cannot be recovered, for it is sure death to the man who attempts the task.Corporal Hockin.lived four hours.One of the Indians was also killed, and to-day Almighty Voice has used the dead man\u2019s body in an attempt to draw the fire of the police.Then the police realized the size of the job they had undertaken.The Indians on the Arrow reserve near by were reported to be growing restless.The half-breeds in the neighborhood refused te assist even when offered large rewards.So reinforcements were asked for from both Prince Albert and Regina.The news arrived here during a farewell ball being tendered to the Mounted Police jubilee contingent.The festivities were instantly stopped and orders given for the immediate start of a relief force.This consisted of twenty-five men and a Maxim gun under command of Commissioner Mcllree and Inspector Mc- Donnell.From Prince Albert a second detachment of twenty-five men, under Capt.Gagnon, also started for the scene.Capt.Gagnon's force, with a seven- pounder field gun, arrived at the bluff before dark last night and fired seven shells into the bluff.At dusk, when everything had quieted, Almighty Voice yelled to the police that they were doing well, but would have to do better.The Regina force arrived during the night, and the nine-pounder, in charge of Assistant Commissioner Mcllree, was trained on the bluff at 6 a.m., and got the range at the second shot, but the Indians have apparently got good protection in the shape of rifle pits, and the firing is reported as being unsuccessful.Now a transport is being sent out from Duck Lake, with picks and shovels, for the purpose of throwing up earth-works to.enable the men to advance on the bluff under cover, in case they are not successful in driving the Indians out with shells.The latest news from Duck Lake, the telegraph office nearest the bluff, is that the police are certain they have the Indians surrounded, and their capture dead or alive is assured.THE DEAD AND WOUNDED.Corporal Hockin was a son of Admiral Hockin, of the British navy, and was about thirty-five years of age.He was at one time in the regular army, holding a commission as captain in the 44th Essex regiment.He afterwards served several years in India.In 1894 he came to the North-West, apparently with the intention of taking up land, as he seemed to be possessed of means, but, shortly after his arrival in Regina, he applied for admission to the force, as so many other young Englishmen of good family have done, the semi-military free life of a mounted policeman on the prairies seeming to possess a singular fascination for men of his stamp, especially those who are fond of horses.Hockin was an excellent soldier and well educated, steady and a quiet gentleman of rather ' retiring manner, who seemed to have A A | the life.joined the force simply because he liked He was possessed of some means, and had the reputation of possessing the largest and most complete wardrobe of any man or officer of the force, it being a matter of common remark that he seemed to have more different suits of good clothes than almost any man in the North-West.Constable Kerr was a member of TF troop, North-West Mounted Police, and a much respected man in the barracks.He was born at Barrievale, Renfrew County, and was aged twenty-nine.Mr.Grundy was a highly respected citizen of Duck Lake and leaves a wife and family of small children.Inspector Allan, who had his arm broken by a bullet on Thursday, is a native of Montreal, a brother of Mr.W.A.Allan of Ottawa, and a nephew of the late Robert Anderson, from whom he inherited a very considerable fortune.Captain Allan was a member of the Victoria Rifles and was one of the Red River expedition of 1870.He settled in Manitoba and was for several years a member of the local Legislature.He joined the Mounted Police about twelve or thirteen years ago.Captain Allan was in Montreal and Ottawa a few weeks ago, and could not have returned to duty more than a week or ten days when the trouble with Almighty Voice occurred.His wound is painful, but not dangerous.He has gone into hospital at Prince Albert.Sergeant Raven's wound is said to be slight.en NEWS FROM NEW BRUNSWICK.TUBERCULOSIS SCARE \u2014 A LIBERAL ELECTED IN WESTMORELAND.St.John, N.B., May 30.\u2014The Local Government has finally taken alarm at the tuberculosis scare in the province and has decided to make an examination of the herd of cows which supplies the lunatic asylum here with milk.On the result will, to some extent, depend the future action of the government.Should tuberculosis be found among the cattle provision will be made to eradicate the disease, and to compel the owners of cattle supplying milk to citizens to have their animals tested.The matter will then be placed in the hands of the board of health to decide on the best means of stamping out the disease immediately.A few examinations of cattle have been made in suspected herds and the animals which failed to stand the test have been destroyed.Mr.Clifford W.Robinson, Mayor of Moncton and Liberal candidate to fill the vacancy for Westmoreland county in the Local Legislature, caused by Mr.A.E.Killam\u2019s appointment to an office on the Intercolonial, was elected by acclamation on Saturday.Mayor Robinson states that while in Ottawa he paid his respects to the Governor-Gener- al and Lady Aberdeen, who informed him they were going to Halifax for the summer, but would visit St.John on June 12, when Lady Aberdeen would discuss with the ladies of St., John plans for assisting the Victorian Order of Nurses scheme.The Beer License Commissioners have given the St.John druggists to understand that they will not interfere with the Sunday sale of soda water and other strictly temperate drinks.John York, aged forty, of Bear River, N.S., was found unconscious in a room at Hotel Dufferin, St.John, Saturday morning by a bell boy, who smelled gas and broken in the door.It was another case of blowing out the gas.York was in a dangerous condition for a long time, but will probably recover.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 BURGLARS AT LYN.Lyn, Ont., May 29.\u2014Last night burglars broke into Mr.R.F.Tennant\u2019s blacksmith shop, and stole some tools, and proceeded to rob the town.Breaking .into Mr.Geo.Buell\u2019's general store they stole a quantity of clothing, tobac- cn, cigars and other goods.There was some cash in the till but it was left untouched, the burglars apparently having missed it.\"hey also entered Stack's hotel by raising the back window of the bar-room and took out the cash register which contained only about a dollar in small change.A few .boxes of cigars and several bottles of brandy were also taken.They then tried to force open the front doors of John Hal- liday\u2019s general store and the postoffice, but did not effect an entrance.After the burglars had finished their work they returned the stolen goods to the blacksmith shop.This morning Mr.Stack found his cash register on a lumber pile near the hotel.About two weeks ago Mr.C.M.Taylor's store was relieved of a large quantity of jewellry\" and tobacco and it is believed by many that the same parties are responsible for both.PRESENTATION AT RICHMOND.Richmond, Que., May 351.\u2014At the 54th Battalion concert in the town hall here on Monday evening last Mayor Wilcocks was presented with a gold-handled cane from the citizens as a token of the high regard in which be 1s held as chief magistrate and presiding ofticer of the town council.Mr.Wilcocks has occupied the position of mayor for six years with dig nity and strict impartiality.The testimonial wag subscribed to by some hundreds of citizens, and no one was allowed to give more than the sum of twenty- five cents.The presentation was made by Mr.P.S.G.Mackenzie, advocate, in appropriate words.Mr.Wilcocks responded feelingly, and said that he had endeavored, in his capacity as mayor, to do \u2018his duty\u2014less than which no man should aim at.The whole audience rose and sang \u2018For he is a jolly good fellow,\u2019 as well as \u2018Rule, Britannia,\u201d the latter in recognition of Mr.Wilcocks's warm British feelings.The PANIC IN A CHURCH | WAS CAUSED BY FIRE\u2014BEVEN KILLED AND SEVENTEEN INJURED IN THE CRUSH.Pisa, Italy, May 20.\u2014During a special service at the Cathedral to-day, upon the occasion of the unveiling of an image of the Virgin, a candle fell, setting fire to the building and causing a great panic among the many persons present.During the rush for the doors seven persons were killed and seventeen others wounded, three of them seriously.The fire was immediately extinguished.The damage was slight.The Cathedral was closed and the ceremonies were suspended.Great grief prevails in the town.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A HEAVY RAINFALL.Cowansville, May 31.\u2014Acres and acres of the land in this vicinity are covered with water.The unprecedentedly heavy raine have prevented nearly all spring work of the farmers so far.The grass will be heavy except in places where it has been winter-killed.The prospects of a good apple crop are also excellent, unless frost intervenes.NORTH-WEST MISSIONS.INTERESTING DISCUSSION ON SATURDAY AT THE BAPTIST CONVENTION.London, Ont, May 31.\u2014At .Saturday morning's session jof the Baptist convention a devotional service was held, presided over by the Rev, L.McKin- non, who gave an address on \u2018Jesus Christ the prophet.\u201d At ten o'clock the Rev.Ira Smith, the president, took the chair and after the minutes had been read the subject of Manitoba and the North-West missions was taken up.The Rev.Mr.Sage, secretary of the North-West missions, presented the report, and moved its adoption.It dealt chiefly with the Indian and Scandinavian work.An Indian missionary prince had engaged in several evangelistic tours among his own people with the most gratifying results.The Rev.Mr.Vantassell was also doing much good work among this most interesting class.The Scandinavian work 1s under the charge of the Rev.L.M.Stol- bery and there are churches in Winnipeg, New Scandinavia, Rat Portage and Norman.The Rev.A.Grant, of the First Church, Winnipeg, then presented the general aspect of the work in a most vigorous speech.He said that notwith standing the pleasant relations that ex-\\.isted between the East and the West, there was still, he regretted to say, a vast amount of unbelief in the hearts of the Baptists in the east with respect to the needs and prospects of the work in the great North-West.The Fast must wake up about this matter if real progress is to be made.One of the great problems of the work there, which we in the east cannot understand at all, is the immense conglomeration of races and languages.In one district which he knew there were seventeen different languages.A great danger to the country is the promiscuous population that comes from some parts of Europe, and unless the gospel is given these people there will be a festering sore in the countrv that will ruin it.He then described the country and gave particulars of some missionary journeys he had taken in visiting the churches.There is a great future for that big country, and how to meet it should be our careful concern.The Rev.G.B.Davies-spoke of the great liberality of the North-West Baptists, whose average giving was about fourteen dollars per member.The Rev.C.A.Eaton of Toronto, spoke on the report.Ile did not share the unbelief of which Mr.Grant had spoken, because for many years he had felt the deepest interest and had the strongest faith in the North-West.We must do this work, and I am glad, said, he, that we have men of the right stamp out there, men who come up to our highest expectation, and so I am full of hope for the work.The Rev.Dr.Spencer spoke of the work.He had preached in ninety-three churches in Canada, besides his own, and in every one great sympathy had been felt in the North-West work.He spoke of the need of extending the work of the convention to British Columbia.He also paid a graceful tribute to the Rev.Mr.Mellick, superintendent of home missions for the North-West, who wns retiring from that work.During the session the following were introduced, hev- ing lately come into the convention: \u2014 Rev.W.E.Stephens, Niagara Falls; the Rev.C.Robertson, Petrolea; the Rev.A.T.Dykenan, Peterboro.Yesterday the various Proteatant pul pits of the city were occupied by the visiting clergymen.TRIBUTE TO MR.LAURIER.A large congregation listened to an interesting discourse by the Rev.C.A.Eaton of Toronto at the Convention Church, last evening.During the course of his sermon, the rev.gentleman said he considered the Hon.Wilfred Laurier to be the Abraham Lincoln of Canada.He would rather that the future of Canada be in the hands of Mr.Laurier than of any other man he knew.He hoped that a Canadian nationalism which would unite the great animation and talents of the French with the sturdiness \u2018of the British was not far off.Mowpar, Mar 81, 1897.A VERMONT TRAGEDY, A YOUNG LADY SHOOTS HR RIVAL AND THIN TRIES TQ END HER OWN LIFE.Montpelier, Vt., May 29.\u2014Miss

Sun\u2019 says: \u2018 Nothing more has been heard of the suggestion to appoint the Duke of Teck Governor General of Canada, and even His High: ness's friends appear to have thought it wise to cease their advocacy of his claims.Curiously enough, just at this moment, a dead set is being made herc against the Yukon Company, of which the Duke is a member, and which desires, apparently, to gobble up some of the best parts of British Columbia by means of the provisions of a Royal charter.The Liberal members of parla- ment aro on the watch for an opportunity to raise a debate on the Yukon business, and even political women have been pressed into service against the poor Duke, who certainly never did them any harm.Thus the Woman's Liberal Association, solemnly assembled in conference a day or two ago, passed a reso lution denouncing all chartered com: panies, without special reference to the infamous South Africa Company, and calling upon the government to grant no more charters, which demand was directly levelled at the Duke of Teck and his Yukon bantling.\u2019 > LIFE IMPRISONMENT.SENTENCE PASSED UION ACCIARITO OK SATURDAY.Rome, May 30.\u2014Pietro Acciarito, the Ttalian Anarchist, who,
