THE MASTIGOUCHE FISHING CLUB BAC K OF ST.GABRIEL DE BRANDON.News was received yesterday in the city from Berthier of the somewhat sudden death of a formerly well-known citizen of Montreal and a gentleman who had still many intimate friends in the city, thier, and president of the Mastigouche Fishing Club died in the club rooms of the latter on Tuesday morning after a brief illness lasting scarcely twenty-four hours.The deceased, who, with his daughter, was staying at the camp, complained on Sunday evening of feeling unwell.Mr.H.W.Atwater, uncle of the ex-Provincial Treasurer, was also there, and thinking the indisposition only temporary, gave Mr.Copeland some medicine.feeling better, but complaining of feeling weak.A doctor was sent for, \u2018who remained all day and night with the sick man.but at half-past eight on Tues day morning Mr.Copeland passed away.The funeral takes place at Berthier, and will be attended by a large number of citizens from Montreal, members of the Mastigouche Fishing Club.The Mastigouche Club has its headquarters on the lake in the country back of St.Gabrie] de Brandon, and numbers among its members ex-Ald.Stearns, Principal Shewan and other well-known Montreal- ers.The deceased gentleman was in his sixtieth year.-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 TIIE DUKE OF CONNAUGHT'S FLAG.The annual competition for the Duke of (annaught\u2019s flag take place on Saturday afternoon next on the Champ de Mars between the Highland Cadets and the Mount St.Louis Cadets.This event is looked forward to with much interest, as but for thea resolute attitude of the friends of the Highland Cadets the flag would have remained the possession of the Mount St.Louis boys without further competition.It was urged on the part of the latter that having won the flag twice in succession from the Highland \u2018laddies,\u2019 it should be their permanent property.This view was sustained by those in local authority, and it was suggested that will à local cup should be offered for future competition as an assuagement of feeling for the loss of the greater prize.Capt.Lydon distinctly refuspd to concur in this! view of the matter, and insisted that His Eoyal Highness the Duke of Connaught meant the competition to be annual so long as there were cadet corps in the city.In this view he was supported by the \u201cWitness,\u201d marked copies of which by the friends of the Highland Cadets were sent to the princely donor.The answer was, of course, in the sense for which Captain Lydon contended.It was the intention of His Royal Highness that the competition should be annual.The Highland Cadets have been working hard, handicapped as they are by the fact that they have nothing like the time to spare to drill which the Mount St.Louis boys cen obtain from their studies.meer LAURIE ENGINE WORKS THE SCENE OF AN EXCITING FIRE.There was great excitement in the east end last evening when it became known that the Laurie Engine Company\u2019s works, St.Catherine and Tans- ley streets, were on fire.The establishment employs a large number of men, the great majority of whom reside close by, and these with their wives and children swelled the huge crowd attracted to the scere.The alarm was sounded at twenty minutes to eight, from box 121, and the whole eastern section of the fire brigade responded.The flames had caught in the roof of the foundry on the Tansley street side, from sparks from the cupola, and were spreading rapidly when the first streams were laid.Dense masses of smoke arose, but with careful handling, everything was declared safe in an hour's time.There were a number of iron castings and patterns in the foundry, and the damage is estimated at $3,000, covered by insurance.Electric car traffic on St.Catherine street was blocked for half-an-hour.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ANGLICAN SYNOD.DIOCESAN COMMITTEE MAKE SOME INTEX- ESTING REPORTS, NEW DIOCESE SUGGESTED, Toronto, June 3.\u2014The meeting of the

Mr.Olivier Dufresne, city comptroller, has just prepared the annual report of the city\u2019s income and expenditure for 1896.\u2018 Mr.Dufresne opened the report saying it afiorded him pleasure to announce that for the first time in many years, the expenditure has not been in excess of revenue.The report shows the amount received from the Recorder\u2019s Court has been decreasing since 1890, which would give the impression of a higher moral standard, and that the revenue for 1596 was $2,866,061.48.The borrowing power is fifteen percent on an estimated value of real estate of $160,000,000;

THE HALF YEARLY SESSION OF THE VARIOUS BODIE3, IN KINGSTON.Kingston, Ont., June 3.\u2014The Ontario diocesan cominittces have been in session here for several days.The affairs of.the diocese are in a perfectly quiescent state and fairly prosperous, so that the discussions have been few and the labors light.The diocesan mission board reported the year's voluntary offerings as £5,401, an increase of 3606.The receipts from endowment were $1,486.The grants to missions totalled $3,915, a decrease of 8344.The overdraft remains about as before, $1,030.At a diocesan conference Archdeacon Bedford-Jones withdrew his appeal for a memorial offering on Jubilee Sunday to establish a fund for aiding mission churches and parsonages.He did this because he learned that congregations had arranged for special services with societies and civic bodies attending in a body, and special offerings for -loeal charities had be=n pledged.Tt is probable that a coadjutor bishop will be appointed for the diocese in view of the Mr.W.Wilshire, Mr.F.Logan Girdwood, Mr.C.C.Campbell, Mr.G.Bennett, Mr.A.Martin, Meesrs.Harris & Hopton.Mr.S.Murray, Mr.W.B.Davidson, Mr.B.P.Graves, Mr.Goulet.age and lack of good health of Archbishop Lewis.To secure the additional help it is proposed to make an appeal The episcopal fund is now $60,000, but an additional $40,000 is sought.The Archbishop writes from Lambeth Palace declaring his sympathy with the scheme, the best to be put forward with hope of success.His health was so restored that he felt that he could again face any reasonable amount of mission work, but at seventy-two years of age he knew not how long he might continue strong to labor.Therefore he welcomed a fund that would be utilized by-and-by for a coadjutor bishop and for the present relieve him from the effect of decreasing interest on funds.PC BOARD OF TRADE.DISCONTIN@ANCE OF TIDAL SURVEY, \u2014 COUNCIL DECLARES A CANADIAN MINT INEXPEDIENT AND UNDESIRABLE.The council of the Board of Trade at its ordinary weekly meeting yesterday | received an intimation from the Minister of Marine that it is not proposed to pursue the investigation of the tidal survey during the present season, as the department has no vessel at its disposal which could be made available for the purpose.The council expressed its regret at the failure of its efforts for the continuance of the grant, and resolved to renew its endeavors.to that end before the next session of parliament.\u201cMr.E.L.Bond reported progress respecting his work in opposing on behalf of the couneil the pilots\u2019 incorporation bill, \u2018and was requested to continue his opposition on behalf of the council.The need for a grain elevator in the harbor for receiving and storing grain direct from inland craft having been considered by a sub-committee, it was ordered that the government be addressad recommending that a grain elevator of a capacity of not less.than one million bushels be provided \u2018in the upper part of the harbor in any new plan that may be provided.Senator MeInnes\u2019s resolution respecting the establishment of a Canadian mint led to the expression of opinien that such an establishnient was undesirable and inexpedient, and would involve upnecessary expenses.\u2019 The Council .noting the proposal of the City Council to remove the dyke on the revetement wall, ordered that Alderman Sadler be informed that it agreed with hin in considering that it would be unwise to remove the dyke until other flood protection works were in course of construction.The president reported with, regard to his visit to Ottawa with the deputation to interview Mr.arte concerning the harbor improvements that he had placed the Council\u2019s views before the Minister of Public Works, and that after discussing tho new plan he had urged the necessity of lengthening the piers and the energetic prosecution of the work.He said the Minister seemed disposed to meet the views of the deputation to a great extent, and promised to bave a large, revised plan prepared, which he would if possible bring down himself and discuss with the Council, or failing that, his chief engineer would meet the Cou neil in his stead.The president reported he was satisfied that Mr.Tarté would use his influence with the Cahi- net to put the port of Montreal in the position to do the business he expected weuld come to it.At the close of the meeting the Council adjourned for the summer months.\u2014_\u2014 THE BUILDING COLLAPSED.New York, June 3.\u2014A new five-story brick building at 5lst street and Twelfth avenue collapsed with a loud crash today and two men were buried in the ruins.The rescuing party have not vet reached them.but it is practically cor- tain that they are dead.Jacob Jacobson, a millwright, is one of the entombed men, and an employee of the Otis Elevator Company, whose name has not yet been ascertained, is the other.The building was hardly completed, and was to be occupied as a soap factory.It 1s supposed that the building was dragged down by the weight of the fourteen huge water tanks which had just been filled.Exactly how many men were at work in the building when it

Montreal COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.In the Court of Queen's Bench yesterday afternoon before Chief Justice Sir Alexander Lacoste, Max Gorm was accused of forging a cheque on the New York Steam Laundry, but the jury found him not gullty and he was acquitted, When the Court opened \u2018this morning Mr.A.E.Poirter asked for the acquittal of Florida Dion, accused of attempted child murder.on the ground that the indictment charged the prisoner with attempted child murder by throwing it into a dirty and dangerous place was worthless.He pointed out that the Criminal Code contained no seotion whereby an {indictment could be made out to that effect.Such a crime was not described in the statutes,therefore there was no charge against the accused.Mr.O.Desmarais, Q.C., the Crown prosecutor, said that Mr.Poirler could not ask for an acquittal but what he should have done was to ask for particulars.The motion was taken en delibere.Chief Justice Sir Alexander Lacoste, on the advice of the Crown prosecutor postponed the case of G.W.Cameron for theft until next term.A bench warrant was issued for the arrest of Robert Hawkins, accused of receiving stolen goods and bis bondsmen forfeited their bonds.Thomas Hanley took his stand in the dock ou the charge of receiving Stolen goods valued at sixty-five dollars, which were taken by one William Benton during the month of July, 1896, from his employer, Mr.Henry Grant, jeweller of Beaver Hall Hill.Benton, at the November term 1836, pleaded guilty tv stealing the property.COURT OF SPECIAL SESSIONS.THE PRESIDING JUDGE DENOUNCES THE DRUNK

from Mr.R.N.McCallum\u2019's stationery store on St.Catherine street, Westmount.Judge Des- noyers said that -according to his record drink had brought him to his present position and he was sorry to see him in such a position.Drink was e curse to civillza- tion and if it was abolished there would be a lessening of crime.ST.PATRICK'S BAZAAR.St.Patrick's Jubilee has certainly made a gcod start.The number of visitors at the Victoria Rink lest evening excesded that of the first night, which as the latter was itself large.is saying a good deal.Business was brisk at all the tables, fair returns

proceeded to Ottawa to interview the Minister of Public Works have come to the conclusion that he knows more about the conditions and needs of their harbor than they did themselves.This is a very high compliment to Mr.Tarte, who has hitherto been known neither as a maritime merchant nor as an engineer.Yet on no other explanation can we understand their practical acceptance of his plan instead of that of the harbor and city engineers, endorsed by them for ten or twenty years back, and approved by all the parties interested\u2014the harbor commission, the city ind the government of former days.If they have not come to the conclusion that Mr.Tarte was right and they were wrong we cannot see that they could rightly occupy any position but one of protest against government interference with what was for the best interests of the most important harbor of Canada, which interests were in their keeping.by Mr.Tarte was that the plan so long adopted and so long left undone was too expensive.To this the answer was surely sufficient that, while the Canadian Government has been continually making useless grants to petty harbors in all directions and to places where nature forbade harbors, for works which have fallen to pieces unused, the harbor of Montreal, instead of being aided, has been heavily taxed for the opening of { two hundred miles of the nation\u2019s main highway, and that the nation owes Montreal at least that amount, say a million and a half of dollars.The deputation also besought the government to take the management of the Montreal harbor out of the hands of a commission of Montreal merchants and do with it as it thinks wise, or, in other words, as political interests may pull.While the commerce of Montreal does not control so much as one vote in parliament, and cannot protect itself against incorporated plunder, this seems something like an act of desperation and an expression of complete lack of confidence in the harbor board as hitherto constructed.The plan of Mr.Tarte accepted by the deputation, and there: fore presumably a better one than Plan Number Six, provides only three piers in place of the four piers in that plan, and the wharves are only six hundred feet long, whereas in Plan Number Six the shortest wharf is a thousand feet long and the longest about fifteen hundred feet long.The deputation asked that the three wharves in the new plan be lengthened to a thousand feet, or, failing that, to eight hundred feet.With ships of four hundred and fifty feet in our harbor and ships of over five hundred feet coming, one would think wharves of a thousand feet little enough.The berths at the ends of the wharves and at the tops of the basins will be, of course, reduced in number but increased in size.The wharves have also been lowered in level, which will necessitate the destruction of much space at the change of level.Nothing was said by the deputation for or against Mr.Pre- fortaine\u2019s inland dock scheme, but a graving deck was asked for.One argument used | THE MONTREAL \u2014\u2014hrentt THE MINT.We hope that Senator Drummond's wise and conclusive words with regard to the establishment of a Canadian mint in British Columbia will postpone the matter until the final bursting of the silver bubble will make such an enterprise no more than a useless waste of money in à province which at the present may be pardoned for lookjng in any direction for some financial stir.As gold coin, being the standard of value, is necessarily worth all it pretends to be, there can be no profit in coining it.As for silver, there is a profit of forty or fifty cents on the dollar in coining it if it can be got into circulation ; but it never can be got into circulation further than to the extent to which it is needed as counters to represent fractions of gold dollars.= No one has complained of any lack of silver coin in Canada.The argument of Senator McInnis, who is the advocate of the mint, is that there is too much American silver coin in British Columbia.It is obvious that so long as one country can coin fifty-cent dollars or fifteen-cent quarters and get another country to accept them at par, it will go on doing so.The acceptance of this foreign silver just drives out of use so much of our own, and makes any more Canadian coin just so much less called for.No amount of the latter would keep our pcople from mccepting American silver coin unless their doing so involved som- loss to themselves.The only way to keep the American silver out is to make it a loss to take it in.When it goes out there will be found just so much Canadian silver in its place.There need be no fear that there will not always be enough coin so long as our government makes, as it does, eighty to a hundred percent on coining it.Senator Drummond made it plain that minting costs Canada less under present arrangements than it would with a mint of our own; so that the profit on coining silver and the incentive to have it always in sufficieni supply is at least as great as it would be.The silver coinage cry in the United States was greatlv aided by the scarcity of silver change throughout the country.That was not certainly owing to the scarcity of silver coined, for the treasury vaults were full of it, and the government was constantly doing all it could to get it off its hands short of forcing the peuple to take silver dollars in place ofi gold ones.This no American Government has dared to do, and until the re- pudiationists come in none will ever dare to do.To do this would in a moment have the effect of dismissing gold as a standard and making silver coins at their present weight the standard of the dollar, or, in other words, making every dollar in the country worth fifty to sixty cents, or, to put it otherwise, making every present dollar\u2019s worth worth from a dollar and two-thirds to two dollars, thus upsetting all values and all contracts and creating incredible injustice.The reason why people in parts of the United States could not get silver change for daily use, while the Canadian people could, was a question of the difference in the banking system of the two countries, and had nothing to do with the amount of silver coined.One difference between the two banking systems is that a Canadian bank is allowed to have agehcies all over the country, while the American banks are not, The Canadian bank has a great advantage in using the money of the east, where interest is low, in the west, where it is higher, thus equalizing matters, while the American system forces the investing of large fortunes at New York at two and a half percent, while enterprise in the progressive west has to pay twelve percent to get the money it needs.How glad the eastern men would be to get half that interest safely.Yet all the time the Bryan silver men are shouting through- eut the country that it is the New York \u2018gold bugs\u2019 who are controlling and running the country and keeping them from getting the money they need.LAVAL PRIZES AWARDED.The professors\u2019 prize for general proficiency in the Law Faculty of Laval has been awarded to Mr.Fernaud Craig, and the ancient

AFTERNOON.A DECISION EXPECTED ON SATURDAY\u2014 SEVERAL ONTARIO TOWNS INTERESTED IN THE EXPROPRIATIONS.The argument in connection with the expropriation of the Cornwall water \u2018works by the Corporation of the Town of Cornwall was continued at the Et, Lawrence Hall yesterday afternoon and to-day before the three arbitrators, Judge McDougall, Judge Carman and Mr.John Kennedy.Mr.D.B.McLennan, Q.C., on behalf of {the Waterwarks Company, concluded his argument at 4.45 yesterday afternoon, having spoken for nearly six hours.The learned counsel went exhaustively into the evidence of the items of the company\u2019s accounts, which \u2018are only disputed as to amount, such as the value of the water tower, smokestack, pumping station building, pipe system and machinery, The evidence in regard to these items is very conflicting, the witnesses on the part of the company putting it in some instances at seventy-five to eighty percent higher than the witnesses on the part of ghe town.In regard to the case for the company generally many of the items of the company's claim, such as the claim for the township franchise, increased value of the pumping house site, the claim for interest and the claim for the laying over again of the suction system from the pumping house to the river and the pipe: system crossing the canal, lave given rise to a good deal of interesting discussion.The peculiar wording of the statute under which the arbitration is being conducted has also added very much to the length at which the case has been argned on both sides.The Cuna- dian statute is very different from the English statute, the latter simply directing that the value of the works should be «scertained.In the English statute the works, such as the piping, hydrant and valve system, are specified in detail, while in the Canadian statdte the works ave referred to more generally and more comprehensively than in the Erglish statute.But in the mode of valuation, which is laid down for the arbitrators, the Canadian statute in its turn becomes specific as contra-distinguished from the more general wording of the English act.The arbitrators are directed to aseertain -the compensation, having regard to that the works would cost if now constructed, making allowance\u2014 which, of course, is an allowance in favor of the town\u2014for wear and tear and deterioration.This is followed up by a general clause in the statute requiring the arhitrators to make all proper allowances, and then these various provisions are followed un by a clause that ten percent 15 to be added to the amount so ascertained.The counsel for the town contends that the general clause as to making proper allowances applies only in favor of the town, while on the other side it in contended that this term is open to be applied to either party to the dispute.But probably the most interestino question that arises in regard to the statute is that it provides two distinct and apparently alternate modes of arriving at the amount of compensation.\u2018This arises under the clause which gives an additional mode of compensation by directing that it shall be the amount for which the works could be bought.This obviously provides a distinct and independent mode of ascertaining the compensation.The question that arises here is whether the town or the corporation is entitled tothe option as to which mode should be adopted.1t is contended, on behalf of the company, that the company has the option, inasmuch as the town has the option of taking over not.This option of the town, it was argued, gives it the very decided advantage of enabling it to take the works over if it finds that the run- ing of the business is financially profitable, or if not taking the works over if the corporation finds the contrary to le the case.These various questions that arise in regard to the effect of the statute will probably furnish more perplexing work for the arbitrators than the points which they have to decide upon the evidence./ Mr.James Leitch, Q.C., followed/ at 4.45 on behalf of the Corporation of the Town cf Cornwall.He spoke up to six o'clock; again from eight to ten o'clock last evening and concluded his argument to-day.He contended that the act which defines the mode of ascertaining the value precludes the company from recovering anything for the franchise in the Corporation of the Township of Cornwall.The act provides that the arbitrators shall ascertain the actual value of the works and property of the company, having regard to what the works would cost if now built and the property now bought.The expression \u2018property now bought\u2019 has reference to to the property mentioned in the preceding clause of the act and described in that clause as the property used in connection with the works.That expression, be argued, cannot be construed as meaning the whole undertaking.Mr.Teitch also contended that this construction of the statute is borne out by the decision of the Court of Appeal and the House of Lords in England in the case of = \u2014 Kirkleitham Local Board vs.Stockport.(Law Reports, 1883, Vol.I.) As to the canal crossings it was argued that the corporation were only bound to pay for one crossing for the reason that they are no more bound to pay for the crossing, which was rendered useless by mistaken construction, than they would be if the buildings had bcen burnt down and had been re-erected.As to the river suction it was put in no less than three times, clearly showing that it was a case of inexecusable inalcon- struction, the learned counsel contending that before it was originally put in the minimum depth of the water in the river should have been ascertained beyond all doubt from the record kept in the canal office of Cornwall.As to the rise and fall of the river, which was not, ascertained, if the company chose to experiment as to the depths which the suction pipes and caisson should be laid and their experiments turned out to be failures the corporation should not pay for such mistakes.They were only bound to pay for one suction laid at the proper depth, that would me-t the fall in the river for all time to come.As to the claim for interest on capital amounting to about nine thousand dol lars, while the works were unremunera- tive, Mr.Leitch contended that by the wording of the act under which the arbitrators are to ascertain the value of the works, the company are precluded from recovery.The arbitrators are limited to ascertaining the actual value of the works, and if the company ventured upon a commercial enterprise which proved unremunerative that cculd not affect the actual value of the works and property.In reference to the value of the different portions of the works, the company depended upon the evidence of ongineers who gave merely estimates of what the boilers, engines, pipes, hy- drents, etc., should be worth, but the corporation had proved by manufacturers of machinery and waterworks supplies what the machinery and other portions of the works could be supplied ab and vhat figures the manufacturers were prepared to enter into contracts for furnishing the machinery and plant.The difference between the manufacturers\u2019 prices and the engineers estimates are very marked.Another palpable defect in the estimates of the engineers as to the value of the works is that it was based upon information as to the conditions under which the distribution system was cou- structed.It was represented to them that in the oxcavation a large quanti\u2018y of rock was encountered and that there was quicksand which necessitated close shoring, whareas, the fact was proven by the men who did the excavating that there was no rock and little or no close shoring, and that the trenching and back filling was done for from ten to seven dollars per lineal foot.It was contended that such estimate of the engineers | was based on false assumptions and that they were therefore entirely unreliable.The question of depreciation was also dealt with.It was contended that the buildings had depreciated at least ten percent, the boilers twenty-five percent and the pumping machinery from ten to fifteen percent.It was also shown that the company\u2019s engineers estimated the value of the masonry under the tower and pump-house as if laid in Portland cement, whercas it was established be- vond doubt that it was laid in ordinary mortar and in Napanee water-lime, which would make a difference of over a dollar a yard.It was also shown that the masonry was composed to a great extent of ordinary field stone, which was only worth about three dollars a cord.The value of the water-tower was also discussed at considerable length, for the reason that the company put forward a specification showing the thackness of the plates, which was found entirely erroneous by actual measurement by experts, who climbed the tower for that purpose.The question of costs was also argued, and it was pointed out that the cesta of the town were increased to a considerable extent by the inaccurate statements of quentities put forward by the company.Mr.D.B.McLennan, Q.C., closed the argument on behalf of the company this afternoon, and it is expected that the arbitrators will render their decision be- \u2018fore they leave the city, probably on Saturday.The arbitration is creating quite an interest in municipal circles in Ontario as several other towns are at present considering the advisability of expropriating their waterworks systems, which have also been constructed by nrivate com- panies\u2014notablv Barrie, in the County of Simcoe, and Berlin, in the County of Waterloo.CASE OF THOMAS BRAM.Boston, Mass.)

MONTREAL.For the past seven vears the Salvation Army has had in operation a rescue home for young women which was situated on Plateau street, and which, during the period mentioned, has done much good work.For some time, however, it has been found that the accommodation in the building was not sufficient for its requirements, ard it became necessary to look after new quarters.After some trouble it was at length decided to take over the premises situated at 243 St.Antoine street, which were more commodious than the former building, and accordingly a week or two since the occupants of the Plateau street building migrated thither, but the formal opening ! of the institution did not take place till yesterday afternoon.A nunber of ladies and othera interested in the rescue work of the Army were in attend- arce at the meeting, which was presided over by Dr.Reddy, the medical officer of the institution.The chairman, after introducing to the meeting Mrs.Reid, who is at the head of the rescue work department of the Salvation Army in Carada, referred to the rescue home in this city, saving that it did a work that no other charity accomplished.No matter what religion people were, no matter even if they were drunk or dirty, they were admitted ; the only necessary qualification being that they were outcasts and friendless.The motto upon the aprons of the workers in the home, \u2018For His Sake,\u2019 explained the reason why all this was done.At present they had in the home a family of eight women and seventeen babies.Dr.Reddy concluded his remarks by expressing the hepe that the Army would receive the support in its good work which it deserved.Mrs.Reid proceeded to give details regarding the work done at the Plateau street home.Over five hundred young women had entered the home since it Was first established, seven years ago.For over three hundred situations had been found, twenty had been restored to their friends, four had died, several had been married, whilz others had gone to other institutions, and a few, a very small number comparatively, had turned out unsatisfactorily.During the past year the home had had a hundred and forty- one women inmates and twenty-nine children.The speaker cited several cases that were most interesting, though bearing a sad resemblance to one.apother.One was that of a girl who was ruined by a business man in this city, a partner in a leading firm, who had thrown her aside.The mother of the girl also refused to have anything to do with her, so they were doing what they could for her on their own account.Reference was made by Mrs.Reid to the government grants the rescue homes received in Ontario, and at the conclusion of her remarks a resolution was unanimously adcpted by the meeting to the effect that both the government of Quebec and the City Council of Montreal should be requested, having in view the usefulness of the institution, to help to support the same with a grant.A cordial vote of thanks having been accorded to Dr.Reddy for his services as chairman, the meeting closed with the singing of the Doxology.\u2014 VETERANS TO WALK IN THE GRAND CIVIC QUEEN'S JUBILEE PABADE.The parade committee in connection with the jubilee celebration met at the City Hall vesterday afternoon.Among those present were the Mayor, Mr.Joseph Richards, president of the St.George's Society; Mr.Robert Reid, Ald.Stevenson, Dr.Guerin, M.P.P.; Dr.Kennedy, Mr.Hal Brown, and Messrs, Hebert, John T.Barlow and Jomes Knox, vice-president, treasurer and secretary, respectively, of the Veteran Firemen's Association.Ald.Stevenson spoke of the desirability of having the veteran firemen take part in the grand civic parade and hoped the jubilee finance committee would vote a sufficient sum to enable them to bring along with them the fire apparatus used as long ago as 1837; he was sure such a display would be as interesting as allegorical cars.Mr.Richards stated that the army and navy veterans had communicated with him and desired to take part in the parade.Permission for them to do so was cordially granted.It was stated that a number of the Imperial veterans would also turn out.The Mavor was strongly in favor of naving the veteran firemen, and other veterans, enhance the interest of the procession by taking part in it.He asked the committee to give the jubilee finance committee a detailed statement as tn the cost of having the different veterans turn out.It was agreed to recommend that the veteran firemen be granted $130 to defray rurrent expens.s, and it was tacitly understood that $1,800 would be granted to the English national and benevolent sncieties, $3,200 to the French and $600 *o the Irish if they should decide upon \"articipating in the festivities.} Dr.Guerin, president of St.Patrick's Society, said that his people would do their part to promote the success of the celebration.0 ETS A LS P14 3 MYRTLE SPAN Ske on Tey + Sh CRP Te er upto re de EE SS FH GB eI ar ae a MINERS AT RAT PORTAGE.THE TOWN EN FETE IN HONOR OF THE BIG \u2018 CONVENTION.Rat Portage, Ont., June 2.\u2014Rat Portage is in gala dress, and simply crowded with mining men from all parts of the continent.The mining convention opened at the new Hillard Opera House at 2 pm.Mr.George Drewry, president of the Mining Exchange, was in the chair.Mr.Wm.Young, mayor, delivered an address of welcome, and Mr.Drewry followed, emphasizing and endorsing the mayor\u2019s address of welcome, and giving a brief account of the origin and objects of the convention.Mr.D.C.Cameron also spoke along the same line.Judge C.Lewis, Duluth, spoke of his attention being called to the country, the wisdom of holding such a convention, and on behalf of the American visitors, expressed cordial thanks for the courtesies extended to them.He said great interest existed in this city and state, in this country, and American \u2018capital was likely to come in in large investments.Mr.T.A.Rickard, state geologist, Colorado, gave a scholarly and well composed address on the application of geology to mining.Mr.Rathbone, late of the Transvaal.gave an impromptu address.The chief point made was that mining should be governed more by experience and common sense than by hard and fast rules of geology.He gave several instances where geologists and scientists had laid down laws which, in practical application, were found to be absolutely false.His advice was that wherever gold is found let the ores alone, and be governed by experience and common sense.General H.L.Gordon of Los Angeles, Cal., spoke briefly, expr:ssing his confidence in the country.He drew a favorable comparison between this district and his own state, which is acknowledged to be the greatest mining district of the continent.Mr.James Conmee, M.P.P., spoke for the government, and stated they had been slow in the past, but they were now prepared to go ahead, and he was of cpinion that if the matter .of a mining school was pushed it would be obtained.He also spoke of the evil of acquiring too many claims, which seemed to be the sole aim of people here.The result was that every one had claims to sell and few were worked.He drew a comparison between these and corner lot apecu- lators.The reduction works were thrown open for the inspection of visitors this afternoon.This marks a new departure in the history of the works and is calculated to extend and increase business.rectly t i CANADIAN FLECTRICTANS MEET.Niagara Falls, Ont., June 3-\u2014The seventh annual convention of the Canadian Electrical Association held its first day's session yesterday

hills beyond Imareti, I described the progress of the battle of Hanopoulo down to nine o'clock on Friday morning._ At the time the Greek infantry was steadily, though slowly, driving the Turks back from their advanced positions.Col.Bairactaris\u2019s brigade, reinforced by one battalion from the Gol- finopulo brigade on the other side of the Louros, was pushing forward in three columns, the first in the plain, hugging the hills on the left, the second along the tops of those hills, and the third in the valley beyond the hills running parallel with the plain to the pass of Kiaffa.The object of this movement was, if successful, to enable the three columns to converge on Hanopoulo, the two first attacking frcm the front and from above, while the possession of the Kiaffa Pass permitted an attack by that column from the rear.For some time all went well with the Greeks, despite the fact that they were much handicapped by the heavy mists wreathing the Turkish hills, which prevented the use throughout most of the day of the heavy guns at Arta Fort and Theotokio, while the Turks were able to shell us at ease in the plain and .wounded.on our lower, unclouded heights.Ere long it became apparent that the Turks intended to take the fullest advantage of this superiority.They brought into action their battery of six ten-centimetre guns at Philipiada, another battery of six .guns in tbe plain\u2014that is, in the flank and front of the Greek column\u2014 while hidden in the mists on the lofty hill, which is their strongest position, they.got up three guns of a mountain battery, another three guns being lower down on the same hill behind a shoulder jutting out into the plain, commanding the road, and hiding Hanopoulo.From this shoulder and from the crest of the hill, all efforts on the part of the Greeks to dislodge them were unavailing.They had permitted themselves to be driven from all points beyond this simply because these were useless to us without the strong places, and unnecessary to them with them.For six hours the Greek infantry maintained the attack with much vigor and magnificent gallantry, making, during that time, four several assaults with the bayonet, cheering as they charged, but only to be each time repulsed with heavy loss.The Greek casualties for the three days fighting at Hanepoulo amounted.to aver seven hundred \u2018killed and wounded\u2014in- cluding \u2018twenty-five officers killed and many wounded.The loss in officers was exceptionally heavy, for the Greek regiments are much under-officered.One battalion, with whom 1 was for some time, had the major commanding and three other officers killed, and four Several other battalions suffered, I understand, equally severely.- All this, however, was of no avail At one time, for a brief space, the fire from the shoulder of the hill commanding the road was silenced, but the Greek.force, -much weakened by.losses at this point, could not take advantage of this success to occupy the spur, the Turkish flanking fire from the hill above making it impossible to live there.\u2014\u2018 London Daily News\u2019 Patras Correspondence, May 19.ROENTGEN RAYS AT COURT.The Queen

LEGAL.QUEBEC.NOTICE TO A TENAN\", Another Proprietor.\u2014Seeing an answer to an enquiry (landlprd and tenant new law) regarding notice to leave premises, in a recent issue will you kindly say in your valuable paper if all the particulars as read, remitting the rent, etc., if they leave in the three days, or just a single notice to vacate the premises will do.under code 556 Civil

has a citizen, a poor man, who has purchased a billiard table, and has it placed in a room adjoining his workshop.It 18 a great drawing to boys and men who flock there to play the game.He applies to the council for a poolroom license.The question is discussed, strong opposition being raised, as it is almost unamnously agreed that it is an evil thing for the town.But some affirm that granting a license is the only way to put restraint upon the man who owns the table, that he might elude the law by claiming his to be a private houre, and could therefore make what use he chose of his own property.1.Can the Council refuse to grant a license, snd fine or prosecute him Îf they find that he is using it for money making purposes.2.Can the Council name a sum, say, $400 or $500 as a license fee, or are they bound to take 325 or thereabouts?3.What are the general laws concerning the governing of such places?Ans.\u20141.We do not think that the Council would Le legally justified in acting arbitrarily in the way suggested.2.They are not entitled to impose an emonunt that would in effect be prohibitive.They must be moderate.3.Subject to the above observations we would say that the Council have the right to license, regulate and govern.by by-law, all persons who for lure or gain, kecp a billiard table in a house or place of public entertainment or resort, and in a similar way to fix the sum to be paid for license therefor.COLLECTION OF MEBTS\u2014MORTGAGE MATTERS.A Constant Reader, Chatham, Ont.\u20141.What Is the course to pursue to collect a debt, and if the party is not

fractured; got doctor to set it, who instead of making an examination and passir& a bandage around the broken part to keep fraotured parts \u2018un heir place, commenced by binding a spliut (a plece of wood five or six inches wide.and reaching from the shoulder down pas: the foot), firmly to the foot and ankle making no receptacle or hole for joint of the ankle (which caused great torture), and fassing bendage over the splint past the break, leaving a space between It and leg in which the hand could be passed.The result is.on account of the jerkings and twitchings of the nerves and muscles of the leg (involuntary on my part), and other incidental movements which could not ba avoided, that a piece of the bone, abrut feur inches long and two or three inches wide, worked loose, passed under the ban - dege there being no pressure from it to keep it to Its place.and now lies on the muscles on the outside of tho leg seemingly firm aid grown thereto.There i8 more cr less fever all the time whore the bone is uul of place, and very painful Jf it touches anything suddenly such as the edge of a chair.1, Did the doctor take the proper course ?2.Is the piece of bone likely to work loose when leg get's strcng enough to walk on?Ans.\u2014The writer of this letter does not probably qulie understand the lump which he describes as leg bone \u2018three inches wide.\u2019 Where made splints are not immediate!y to b- ¢btsined the use of a Jong bad slat or soma such plece of wood is advised.No drubt in a hospital this doctor would have sclert- ed or gent out for a splint having ail arrangements made for comfort, such as au oval aperture for the accommodation nf the slkle bcre.Dr.Walsham its a well kncw- London surgeon.In Walsham's Pra:\u2018ire of Surgery.the sixth rule for the ay.:ra tion of a splint is \u2018the fracture should ret as a rule be covered with a bandage: Eighth\u2014The parts having once been nru- perly secured in splints should not be ne\u2019.lessly disturbed.Ninth\u2014S8hould the fre: ments become displaced from spasm of 1.muscles steady extension will usually over ceme the difficulty.\u2019 The doctor =eems \u20180 have niade an extension to prevent shortid ing by an approved method.If he has been visiting the case and is satisfled.1le leg is probably doing as well as 1t can.plece of the bone might die from rhe bruise of the horse kick.If four inches did so it would cause great lameness.The lump might be a displacement of the up}\u2019 or lower ends, or be chiefly callus.The right thing is to get your doctor to come and bring a surgeon with him to see ihe leg.Dead bone cannot be put back, but wih come away.Callus will not do any harm but if one end of the bone has been pushed wav from the other it must be reset 16 give any chance of union.CRETINS.Bessie.\u2014A little boy three years old.has for the last yerr shown strong symptoms of having what is commonly called thick neck ar geitre.Ts there any permanent cure for

festivals in honor of the jubilee of our sovereign, Queen Victoria, to pass without making any popular demonstration ! |- Sorel, more than any other city in the Province of Quebec, should celebrate the event, because the Duke of Kent, father of the Queen, lived here for some time when he was at the head of the 60th Regiment, from 1791 to 1785, and the house where he lived still exists.Most of our streets are named after members of the royal family in remembrance of the sojourn of Her Majesty's father among our ancestors.Let us show that the sons of those who had the advantage of meetirg on our streets the father of our gracious sovereign, Queen Victoria, feel happy to live under the British flag, held up by a queen who has secured the admiration of all the nations of the world.Let our city fathers take up the matter and let not Sorel remain behind in the celebration of the Queen's jubilee.In connection with this.Mr.J.A.Chenevert, director of this paper, has a sketch of the Duke of Kent\u2019s old residence in Sorel when he lived here.This sketch was secured bv Mr.Chenevert's father from a soldier who lived here in 1843.The picture was handed to Mr.Chenevert by his father, and he preserves it most careful ly.It is, we believe, the only one in existence, and it deserves to be preservad.Moreover, Mr.Chenevert vesterlay had the house as it now exists, but part- lv demolished, photographed.The main portion of the building still exists, and is now occupied by Mr, Desy, N.P.In a few davs photographs of that residence of the Duke of Kent when he occupied it from 1791 to 1795, and also photographe of what now remains of the building, will be offered for sale throughout the whole Dominion.The price of the photos will be twenty-five cents each.Address J.A.Chenevert, Sorel,

Above all there rises the personality of Her Majesty herself.Of what we know of her private life we know that in all those domestic virtues\u2014virtues which appeal to the human heart\u2014ahe might be a model to the humblest of her subjects.In public life she has been a constitutional sovereign in every sense of the term, and hers has been the hand which on more than one occasion has unravelled Kknotty difficulties and carried the nation through eriti- ; VASE, Cay ty re Wy mm mE US Cay De peer rma, nd sa PACE NE no De sen TEL ran.> Ou , 9 Py e a - rs uo - = HANMER (TE RA i LTR a ELE ARS PSE\u201d TE APP RP CNSR A I TN Bg TAR ET TESS og , ! cal periods.One thing Canadians cannot forget, under her reign we obtained the unappreciable benefit of responsible government.It is as dutiful subjects we approach her, not as sycophants.It is our privilege to give her the willing allegiance of free men.(Cheers, in which both sides joined.) SIR CHARLES TUPPER.Sir Charles Tupper on rising to second the motion was cheered by the whole House.He said that after the eloquent words of the Premier there was no need for poor words of his.Nevertheless, the Opposition leader proceeded to make an excellent speech.It was satisfactory that this address was to be laid at the foot of the throne by one so well calculated in every respect to represent Canada.(Cheers.) The Victorian era would shed a lustre on the whole world.The condition of her court was pure, and in everything tending to elevate the tone of public sentiment Her Majesty had contributed in no slight degree.Al: though administaiing government under a parliamentary system, which under her had attained its highest pitch, Her Majesty by devotion to public duty had exercised the most potent influence on the affairs of the empire.Under her beneficent reign the fulness of self-government had been given to the colonies.This was not only a united Dominion but as happy and prosperous a country as could be found in the world.He looked forward to and hoped Her Majesty would live to see a confederation of Australasia and South Africa.He believed that the people throughout the world would priy for long life and happiness to the Queen.(Cheers.) The address was adopted unanimously, the whole House rising and singing heartily \u2018God Save the Queen.\u2019 Thé occupants of the press and public galleries joined in the National Anthem.THE COMBINE CLAUSE.The House went into committee on the tariff resolutions, taking up No.17, which reads as follows : \u2014 That whenever the Governor-in-Council has reason to believe that as respects any article of commerce there exists any trust, combination, associatièn or agreement of any kind among the manufacturers of such artirle.or the dealers therein, or any number of them, to enhance the

Judge of the Supreme Court or Exchequer Court ôf Canada, or of any Supreme Court or High Court in any Province of Eanada, to enquire in a summary way into and report to the Gover- nor-in-Council

Bank Note Company, which is to do the government engraving in Ottawa where they have acquired real estate.The principal object of the bill is to enable them to hold real estate and to enable the company to sue and be sued in its corporate capacity.For some inexplicable amendment the substitution of the fol- {reason Sir Hibbert Tupper, the last day lowing resolution :\u2014 That while this House is prepared to support a stringent measure for effectively preventing illegal combinations with a view to unduly enhance prices contrary to the public interest it is of @pinion that such legislation should not be included in a tariff bill nor leave the Industries of the country in a position to be interfered with at the caprice of the government without a judgment of a superior court of law.Sir Charles.instanced the case of an industry where several formed a combine and several others did not ; fhen the ipnocent would be punished with the guilty.Mr.Fielding said that a combine to be successful must have nearly every producer in it ; otherwise a combine could \u2018not sueceed, and there would be no ap- \u2018plication of the clause.A GENERAL DEBATE, Messrs.Casgrain and Craig opposed the clause as inquisitorial.a.Mr.Britton, Liberal member for Kingston, thought there was something in the argument that the innocent might suffer with the guilty, even if there was \u2018otily ône man outside the combine, and \u2018he favored an addition to the clauxe, compensating such person to the extent of the value of the property on hand at the time of the reduction of the duty.This proposal was laughed at by the House as a whole.Mr.Davies made a speech of great force and argumentative power in favor of some protection to the consumer.\u2018 Tear away the veil,\u201d he said, \u2018 from the transactions of trusts and combinations and use this clause for the public good.\u2019 Mr.Clarke Wallace was opposing the clause as susceptible of oppression aad saying therc were no combines in existence in Canada, when Mr.Davies m- terrupted him by exclaiming: \u2018 You say there are in your amendment.\u2019 \u2018 What amendment ?\u2019 asked Mr.Wal: lace.\u2018I have moved none.\u2019 \u2018Your leader's amendment,\u2019 Mr.Davies.\u2018I do not know that I have a leader; retorted Mr.Wallace, ard the Liberals replied necessary powers as may be conferred upon cheered the repudiation of Sir Charles this motion was up, talked out the hour allowed under the rules of the House for the consideration of private - bills, thus blocking the passage of the bill by | n.ere obstruction.Last evening Sir Hib- bert Tupper renewed these tactics, talking for a long time and when he sat down asked Mr.Bennett to assist in talking the bill out.Mr.Foster joined the obatruction, which was successful, and the motion stands over.At the expiration of the hour\u2018 Mr.Davies charged the Opposition with a breach of faith in blocking the bill, re ferring to an understanding come to at the end of the previous discussion, but Sir Charles Tupper protested against the charge that they were blocking the bill.THE TARIFF AGAIN.The Housc went into committee again on the tariff resolutions.Mr.Clarke Wallace resumed the debate om the combines clause, but drifted immnediatetly into a charge against the Ontario Government as to the administration of the license laws.Sir Oliver Mowat, he said, had intimidated the license-holders when he was Premier of Ontario and his hand had drafted this clause for the same purpose of interfering with the freedom of manufacturers and exercising terrors over them.The machinéry of the ordinary courts in Mr.Wallace's dpinion, was sufficient at present to protect the people against combines, and this clause.No government or judge had a right to dictate to a manufacturer what he should sell his goods for.He asked the government to withdraw this clause, No.17, from a tariff which was not a creditable ene for any government.Dr.Sproule asked how the Standard Oil Company would be reached in Canada under this clause.It put power in the hands of a few to harass the traders and manufacturers and might be used as a lever to extort contributions for political purposes.Trusts and combines were evil things but they could not be reached by this clause.How would it reach the insurance combine which existed.To make an effectual law they RE BURT) 3 FET IR TOON BERS ig Phen ean ot el would have to make it a misdemeanor to enter into a combine, punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both.He opposed the clause.Mr.Foster said that the prosecution under this clause rested with the gov: ernment, who existed to keep their party in power.The head of a party orgam- zation was not the tribunal which should have the enforcement of a decree under this clause.It was a vicious thing to initiate a prosecution, refer it to an ad hoc judge who would be looking for promotion, and would Le one of the gox- ernment\u2019s own friends and who gives in his report to a partisan thirteen, who say to the firm on trial, do as we want ycu to and we will not put on the penalty.The judge cannot seutence the firm.It was left to the cabinet.If the firn was an important and influential one the party heelers would be down to Ottawa saying, do not exact the penalty and we will get their influence and votes in the elections.1f the oracle 1s not worked the edict goes forth destroying an industry and discharginz thousands of employees.If this star chamber found two or three recalcitrant cotton manufacturers then off went the duty on cottons and that industry was destroyed.Mr.Foster denounced it as intended to terrorize and to be used for corrupt political purpose.Mr.Davies read from the utterances of Sir Mackenzie Bowell that if a combine was found the article should be placed on the free list or the duty on it reduced.This was \u2018the same principle now denoun» = 3 | ot a ma sat 1 i. 4 ee ip CF oR \"4 Met J SONS [VR THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1897, THAT MISS BENTON.\u2018J have some bad news for you, girls.Don't call me an eavesdropper\u2014unless it 5 in the sense of dropping trom the caves.If our genial host, Mr.Tuttle, yersists in holding his domestic confer- «uces beneath my window, in the tone he «ses to his oxen, on a subject intimately lated to my peace and welfare, I con- der myself justified in listening.When she had made this speech, Lou ~axe dropped on the bed, already occu- ied by Bertha Lewis and Jeanie Foster, \u2018n an attitude of mock despair.\u2018 What has happened ?\u2019 asked Pris Armstrong, whose room they were IN.she was at the bureau, where she was trying to heat a curling-iron over the dickering flame of a small lamp.\u2018Some one is coming to-night to take the corner room, answered lou.\u2018 She 4 an invalid\u2014at least, Mr.Tuttle said she was * coming for the\u2018quiet,\u201d and nobody but a sick person wants to be quiet, of course.\u2018Ah!\u2019 remarked Pris, atter an om inous pause.\u2018This means,\u2019 went on Lou, \u2018that we must give up our evening kettledrums in your room, for when the invalid goes to bed she will want to go to sleep.We must not sing when we come home from a hay-ride, or dance down the corridor aiter we have retired for the night.Neither must we gather here for midnight ghost stores, because an invalid can hear every whisper\u2019 \u2018It is too bad that she should come here to spoil our good times !\u2019 said Pris, indignantly.\u201cSick people should stay at home!\u2019 \u2018Il know all about the way a person who has nervous prostration behaves, because my Aunt Kathleen had it,\u2019 went on Lou.* Would you believe it, girls, she could not bear to see the dog wag his tail, and she put her hands to her ears if he threatened to bark.She did not like to have any one eat toast, because the crunching affected her nerves; and if I sat down in front of her in a rocking-chair, she would beg me to stop rocking, for the motion made her so nervous !\u2019 \u201cMere affectation '\u2019 exclaimed Pris.\u201cIf people let such notions take possession of them, there is no knowing to what extremes they may be led, like the nuns io the Middle Ages, who had a nervous epidemic of barking.I really think we have a mission work to perform, girls, in the midst of our good times.\u2018 \u2018Aunt Kathleen didn\u2019t like clocks, either,\u201d pursued Lou.\u2018Her power of liearing them tick was simply supernatural.Her room was at the top of the honse, but she could hear the clock in the dining-room.She said she should like to emigrate to the village in South America that Darwin tells about, where there was not a single clock or watch, i ut the hours were guessed at by an old man \u2018 who \u2018had a good idea of time.\u201d\u2019 \u2018It is clearly our duty to keep our neighbor from developing into a hypochondriac, like your amiable relative,\u2019 said Pris, decisively.\u2018She should not come to a summer hotel for quiet.\u201cWe are here to have a good time, and not to look after invalids!\u2019 * The gong sounded, and the girls scattered to their rooms.Later they gathered on the piazza to watch the arrivals.\u201cThat is she!\u2019 whispered Lou, rs a reund-faced, dark-eyed young woman came up the steps.\u2018 But she doesn't look like an invalid,\u2019 demurred Jeante.\u2018They never do ! Nervous invalids always look the picture of health,\u2019 returned Lou.\u2018That is one way you can tell them.Another way is by their bags, to which they cling as to dear life.These bags contain little pellets, or a bottle of caffee-bromine, or a treatise on how to cure nervousness, according to the men- ral endowments of disendowments of the owner.Miss Benton\u2014as the name of the new guest read simply on the register\u2014re- tired early, but a light gleaming beneath her door showed that she was still awake when the girls assembled in Pris\u2019s room to exchange their gossip.Pris had dragged the rocking-chairs from the other apartments into her own chamber, and they began their discipline of their unwelcome neighbor by a series of thumps.The door was left open; a small round clock having wonderful t:cking powers was placed in the entry.If the four girls, after this, could appear at the breakfast-table looking as fresh as though they had gone to bed with the sun, such was not the case with their neighbor; Miss Benton's heavy eves and languid manner bore witness to a disturbed night.Tlie people in the smaller dining-room.having come early in the season, had \u2018allen into the pleasant intimacy for which even a few weeks together in a «immer hotel are sufficient.Miss Bent'n made no attempt to join in the merry desultory chatter which waz, indeed, skilfully directed by Pris to the end of excluding her.What had begun in a mere spirit of frolic and a pass- \u2018nz resentment developed, as the days went on, into scarcely concealed dislike, the reason for which none could have \u201cnid.There was certainly no apparent for Miss Benton was well-bred and attractive in appearance.Even gentle Mrs.Forsythe, who had nitherto welcomed so kindly any solitary stranger, was swept along by the current and save for a stately inclination of her brad and a formal greeting, ignored Miss \u2019enton.She was very fond of her niece.Jou Saxe, and \u2018A summer hotel was not & hospital she said.Eo in the pitnic at the Rapids, during the long, bright day spent at the Shaker settlement, and: at the climb up Saddle- \u201ccason, \u2014 / \u2018 back, Miss Benton was ignored.She was not invited to join in the evening games, in which even the elders participated, nor did any one suggest that she was included in the bidding to the hop at a neighboring hotel, or to the concert given in the village by the summer residents.The next festivity was a \u2018 lawn party,\u2019 given by an enterprising youth in the near neighborhood who, in the hope of J remuneration, had showered his rustic attentions upon the city visitors.The sawmill of which he was the owner stood on the brink of a great dark pool, that had been named by the girls the Styx.Mark Mudgett was his name; and \u2018Mark\u2019 was an abbreviation of \u2018Mar quis de Lafayette,\u2019 a given name originally bestowed, under the impression that the French patriot\u2019s title was a Chris tian name.The girls politely called him \u2018the Marquis.\u2019 Ice cream was to be sold at his lawn party, and boats were to be let on the Styx.The girls had enlisted the inter est of the other hotels, and the Marquis\u2019s fete was a great success.The girls all enjoyed it much; but the crowning festivity, the last frolic of the season, had been reserved for the following day.There was to be a twenty- mile drive to the lake, a sail around it, and a moonlight drive home.(To be continued.) CHILDREN'S CORNER, MARJORIE\u2019S CORNER\u2014CHOCOLATE Brother Jack had company in his recom.Downstairs in the library Marjorie could hear their merry voices and their peals of laughter.Suddenly an idea seemed to strike her, and she went over to her mamma and whispered a request in her ear.Mamma smiled, and nodded assent, so Mar- jerie put her book on the table and ran down stairs into the kitchen.The fire was quite out in the range.\u2018But that doesn't make any difference ; I can use the gas stove, and it\u2019s much quicker.\u2019 Going to the pantry, Marjorie returned with a pitcher of milk, a package ot chocolate and three eggs.\u2018Let me see\u2019 she mused, \u2018Jack's there, and Harry, and Tom, and Ernest, that makes four, so I'll need four sticks of chocolate, one for each.Grandma said not to grate it, but to break it into the milk, and it would melt all right.Since there are four boys, I must use five cupfuls of milk,\u2019 and Marjorie measured it out and poured it into a little porcelain saucepan, amyl then proceeded to break the chocolate into it.This done, she put the saucepan on the stove and lighted the gas under.it, stirring the milk and pressing the chocolate until it melted.She next broke the eggs into two bowls, putting the yolks in one and the whites in another, and beat them up briekly with the egg beater.Seeing that the milk was only simmering, she went into the dining room and returned with a large tray which she covered with a dainty white em- bioidered napkin, and on it placed four of mamma's pretty Japanese cips that looked fragile while thev were really very tough.She next filled a wicker basket with some little cakes, and then brought out the chocolate jug.Ir a few minutes the milk began to boil, and Marjorie took it off the stove, poured it slowly into the bow! where the yolks of the eggs were, beating the eggs all the time.As the chocolate was sweetened, there was no need to add sugar, so Marjorie poured it «into ADVERTISEMENTS.After.Taking a course of Ayer\u2019s Pills the system is set in good working order and a man begins to feel that life is worth living.He who has become the gradual prey of constipation, does not realize the friction under which he labors, until the burden is lifted from him.\u2018Then his mountains sink into molehills, his moroseness gives place to jollity, he is a happy If life does not seem worth living to you, you may take a very different view of it after taking Ayer\u2019s Cathartic Pils.man again.2 OB: Lon Newel SL RRs LI Sp 2p cin 21 THE MONTREAL the jug and put the beaten whites of the eggs on top.; Then, taking the tray in her hands, she went upstairs and made her presence known at the door of Jack's room.\u2018 What's this ?cried Jack, as he:opened the door and saw her standing there, looking flushed and excited.\u2018 Chocolate and skeletons for you and yeur friends,\u201d said Marjorie, delivering the tray into his hands, and then running away.\u2018 Marjorie, \u2019said Jack when his friends left, \u2018do you want to know what the boys said about your chocolate Marjorie nodded.\u2018 They said it was the nicest thing in the world.I told them I didn\u2019t think so, for I knew something a great deal nicer.\u2019 \u2018What, Jack ?\u2018My little sister .\u2018 Obgerver Marjorie.\u2019\u2014N.Y.THE SOUL'S INQUIRIES.THURSDAY, JUNE 3.Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?\u2014Acts ix.6.Come unto me, all ye that labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.\u2014Matt.xi., 28.Deliver me, O Lord, from.mine enemies; I flee unto thee to hide me.\u2014Ps.exliii., 9.PC The truth for us is this, that the real filling of the Spirit.touches a man's purse just as definitely as it touches any other part of a man\u2019s spirit and life.It puts a changed aspect on life.The man who is really filled with God the Holy Ghost learns as never before to write across his stocks, his bank-book, and all his possessions, \u2018 Not my own.\u2019 He no longer uses that wealth to pamper self; he no longer uses it to gratify his own desires, or to live a life of extravagance.He says now, as never befcre : \u2018I am only a steward.All this wealth is God's wealth, not mine.as I would not keep a steward twenty- four hours who would use half of my possessions for himself, so as God's steward I dare not claim the right to use for myself, apart from the Lord, a single penny of what I possess.\u201d As soon as the Lord's people waken up to this\u2014I know it is very practical, and it may seem rather prosy\u2014but as soon as Christians are awake to this fact, so soon we shal] see a revolution in two directions.First, we shall not as ser- we listen to the pitiful appeals for money to carry on the Lord's work.What is more important, the Christian churches of our land will be less likely to have recourse to questionable\u2014ay, to pesitively sinful\u2014methods of raising money to carry on what they call the Lord's work.The wealth of the world session of his own saved people, God rity and save those who are keeping it back from Him !

it was, in truth.seventy\u2014old, seamed, and leathery; and it was a face you loved 10 look at.Every few moments she raised her head and put her dripping hand up over her eyes as che turned toward the land; she was at first dazzled by the glare of the water.When she looked up thus the little girl in the wheelbarrow always waved her hat; then a dim, beautiful smile would come in the faded eyes, \u2018It\u2019s jest a-doin\u2019 of her lots of good; she would say aloud.\u20181'm awful glad I wheeled her down.1 wish now I'd brought her down oftener this summer.\u2019 Twice as she looked shoreward she called out shrilly:\u2014 \u2018Boss, you take care of her; won't you, Boss?\u2019 Then Boss pricked up his ears and shook his tail, and the girl laughed and said she guessed she \u2019n\u2019 Boss could git along first rate.\u2018We're use\u2019t to it; ain't we, Boss?\u2019 When she said this the dog got up, came to her side, gave her a swift lick across the face, then hurried back and sat down on the edge of the planks again.Once, the woman out in the water slipped and fell splashing, and Boss jumped up, whining in a piteous quaver, and would not be comforted even wken the child said soothingly:\u2014 \u201cNever mind, old fellow!\u2019 Bat when the woman floundered to her feet again and cried \u2018 All right!\u2019 the dog sat down.Still he frequently gave a little whine under his breath.He was thinking that this was the first summer when he had not gone out moss- ing with his dearest friend, and he could not understand why he was so stiff and clumsy that he was unable to run over the slippery rocks and keep close to her, nosing the moss she picked up, poking over lobsters and crabs and seeing that nothing happened to her.Something was the matter with his legs, and with the whole of him, somehow, and he could not get over the rocks.Was it the same thing that kept him from gnawing bones?And he liked them just as well as ever.He noticed that the young dog who lived down the road could crack bones without any trouble.It was all very mysterious.When he lay in the sun near where the moss was drying, dozing and snapping at the flies, he often looked as if he were thinking of all these things.And what did the girl's grandmother mean only vesterday when she stroked his head and said: \u2014 \u2018Poor old Boss! You're gittin' old, jes\u2019 \u2019s I be.\u2019Twon\u2019t be no kind of a place round this house \u2019thout Boss.\u201d He had nuzzled his head under her hand when she had spoken thus, but he didn\u2019t understand.How pleasant this bright day was, with its sunny, gentle east wind\u2014a wind that brought sweet, salt smells from the ocean.The child sniffed the bracing odor and stretched out her hands, smiling happily.\u2018Fo be sure, she could not walk, but granny often wheeled her to the breakwater, where she could see the moss gathered.: It was a low course of tides, and now the water had gone far out, so that one could get to the ledges where the moss grew.Granny had no boat, as most of the mossers had\u2014there were rome boats now farther along, and little Molly could eee the men put their long-handled rakes at this for a long time, and always in front of her was the dog: she had grown up in the conviction that all was well if he was near.Soon everything grew deliciously dim and then clear, and the salt smell was sweeter, and she was walking over the hard sand as straight as anybody, holding her head up strongly.She did not know she was asleep.It was real to her that she was walking.Suddenly she sat upright in her wheel barrow, clutching the sides of it.Boss was not there.Had he barked?Or had some one called?She looked off the ledge.She saw Boss leaping frantically over the weedy rocks.He went as if he were a voung dog\u2014he went like a creature possessed.lle seemed not to leap, but to fly from one rock to another, over the still, green pools.Molly could only see the dog and, be- vond him, shining water.Where was granny?The child tried to scream, but she felt as if in a nightmare, and could not make a sound.Oh, there was something down between the rocks, on the far side of the ledge ! It was there that Boss was going.And there was the mosser in his boat, putting his rake down just as he had been doing when the child had gone to sleep.Tor an instant she thought she was dreaming.But Boss was gone, and\u2014yes\u2014there was something among the rocks\u2014it was granny's hat sticking up, and it did not move.Molly tried again to scream, and it was as if her heart would break in the trying.Her voice was only a hoarse kind of whisper.But there! Boss had reached his friend.He tried to pull her out.Between his attempts he barked, he howl- ed\u2014nay, he screamed.Was his heart breaking also?At last the mosser out there held his rake just above the water and gazed towards the shore, listening.The wind was off the sea and sounds from the land did not come clearly.The man saw little Molly Towne on the breakwater.Had she cried out?And was that the Towne dog carrying on so on the rocks?Boss was down by the still figure that was lying in the shallow pool.He was struggling with it, making frantic efforts to pull it from the water.Outlined on the breakwater, against the dazzle of the blue sky, the man saw Molly rise up in her barrow, as if she would walk, and then fall back again.He dropped the rake into the water, caught up his oars, and rowed to the ledge.All the time he rowed he saw old Mrs.Towne\u2019s motionless form lying there and the dog trying to help her.As he stepped out of his boat and began slipping and jumping over the rocks, the woman moved and raised her head.He saw her reach out her hand to the dog; he saw the dog throw himself down and lick her face eagerly.\u2018That you, Jim StowellX\u2019 she asked.\u2018I guess l\u2019ve broke my leg.I slipped.I\u2019ve mossed twenty year, \u2019n\u2019 I never slipped to speak of before.\u2019 She spoke tremblingly, but with pride.\u201cI s\u2019posed I fainted, or something.\u2019 \u2018I'll git you right into the boat,\u2019 said Jim Stowell, briskly, \u2018\u2019n\u2019 take you home in no time.\u2019 Boss stood close by watching the man.It was not easy to get her into the boat, and she winced and grew pale, but she helped all she could and made no sound.When she was in at last Jim took up his oars to go round to the sandy landing.There stood Boss shivering on a rock.\u2018 All at once he appeared older than ever; it seemed as if he could hardly stand.2 \u2018Take him, too,\u2019 said his mistress.\u2018No, let him walk.\u2019 : \u2018I want you to take him, I tell you) almost fiercely, \u2018 He\u2019s too old \u2019n\u2019 stiff to walk on the rocks.\u2019 \u2018Old!\u2019 with a laugh.\u2018You oughter seen him goin\u2019 it after you!\u2019 The man began to row.Tears came into Mrs.Towne's eyes.Her voice was choked.\u2018You've got to take him,\u2019 she said, \u2018or vou needn\u2019t take me.\u2018Oh, if you feel like that \u2019\u2014Jim lifted the dog into the boat, and Boss crouched down by his friend, who put her hand on him.He leaned more and more heavily on her; his eyes were fixed on her face.Lying there on the wet moss in the bottom of the boat she could look, without moving, irto the dog's face.He slowly put his tongue out on her fingers.He pressed yet closer.With a curiously quick movement she managed to draw him even nearer.She bent her head to his head.\u2018He lays too hard on ye!\u2019 said Jim.\u2018 Lemme pull him away.\u2019 \u2018Don\u2019t tcuch him!\u2019 she cried in a sharp voice.The next moment she said hoarsely:\u2014 \u2018He's dead !

objections of ae temperance people to the proposed | | ; Crow\u2019s \u2018James Lowe of Montreal.PE Pa TRE > i RE _\u2014 plebiscite bill.The first idea of enact- Ing à complete law and submitting it to the people, to become operative if endorsed by a majority, was considered fo some: time, but finally abandoned in favor of a bill submitting the two questions \u2018Are you in favor of prohibition and are you in favor of prohibition if it involves direct taxation.\u201d The objections, which have been voiced hy the * Witness,\u201d coupling the principle of direct taxation with the principle of the prohibition of the liquor traffic appeared to have weighed with the cabinet, and the result is that in the hope of more wisdom next year on this question they have decided to postpone the introdue- tion of the plebiscite bill for another session.This is a violation of the pledge ' publicly given by the Prime Minister, but he may well urge in excuse that the peculiar circumstances of the session, his lee ving for England to take part in a ceremonial from which he could not absent himself, was a good excuse for postponement, as such a bill would require the influence of the Premier himself in order to carry it successfully through parliament.Mr.Laurier could have al lowed the bill to be introduced and | fought out in his absence but it might have resulted in disaster to the cause.It may be urged also that the delay of eight or nine months in the introduction of the plebiscite bill will be a decided advantage to the temperance cause because it will result in that process of education from which the bill has most to hope, being extended through these additional months, and additional time afforded for organization among the tem- perarce people.The speech of the caucus was made, members say, by Sir Richard Cartwright, who delivered a clever conciliatory address.This was necessary, because there was a great deal of protest against the railway policy, and it was only tacitly agreed to when the government said they were committed to it and if the party rejected it the goverrment would have to resign.No formal endorsation of the policy, however, was obtained.FEELING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.Vancouver, B.C.,, June 3.\u2014The announcement made here that an arrangement had been .made between the government and the Canadian Pacific Railway, whereby the latter is to proceed at once with the building of the Nest Pass Railway upon stipulated conditions, which have already been named, meets with general favor.The \u2018World\u2019 asserts that to be of advantage to the province and the Dominion, the line cannot be built too soon.It cordially endorses the concessions on both sides, and predicts a period of great activity in South-Eastern British Columbia.The news would have been much more satisfactory were the announcement made that arrangements had been completed to carey the line to the coast by the Vancouver, Victoria & Eastern Railway.Such an intimation would be hailed with delight by all parties.The Heinze organization is extremely unpopular, and the fear is expressed that if aid is given him, it will not result beneficially to the coast cities.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 SEVERAL WEDDING.BUCHANAN\u2014QUIRIN.Mr.A.W.P.Buchanan, of the firm of Messrs.White, O'Halloran & Buchanan, and son of Mr.A.B.Buchanan, of the Bank of Montreal, was

marked improvement in strength.The combination play of the home men between Smith, Burns and Moran was especially clean, Griffiths and Gale playing very steadily.Arrangements have been completed for the teams to dress and enter the grounds from under the grand stand.Cornwall will come in two detachments, some of the players arriving to-morrow night, the remainder on Saturday morning.The team is

do 50.GOLF.The lady golfers have returned from Toronto pleased with thelr victory and delighted with the Toronto golf course and with Toronto golfers.The course is altogether unlike the one et Montreal and has several short holes, which, having ravines between, present great difficulties to etrangers and fts putting greens being very hard, are not easily managed.In fact most of the losses, falling to Quebec and Montreal, were due to the hard putting greens.There are nine holes, which are played over twice.In doing so, the players on Tuesday required nearly all the time between three and six o'clock.Socially, the visit to Toronto was made delightful by Mrs.Sweny's kindness.She furnished lunch on Monday and having guided the visiting golfers to tho links preparatory te next Gay's

LOYALTY.The Queen to be Made the Recipient of an Address.MOTION BY SIR OLIVER MOWAT CARRIED IN THE SENATE.WAS SECONDED BY SIR MACKENZIE BOWELL AND SUPPORTED BY SENATOR BERNIER.Ottawa, June 2.\u2014In the Senate yesterday after routine had been dispdss of, Sir Oliver Mowat moved that a loyal and patriotic address of congratulation from the Parliament of Canada to Her Majesty the Queen on tbe occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of her ascension to the throme be adopted.In in- troeducing his motion Bir Oliver spoke at considerable length.The present, he said, was a must opportune time for the Parliament of Canada, in common with the other legislative bodies in the Dominion to give some expression of congratulation to Her Majesty on the occasion of the sixtieth anniversery of the beginning of her long and glorious reign.The reign of Queen Victoria had been essentially a reign of peace.There had been but one war during the sixty years and in that war it was gratifying to Canadians to remember that England and France were allies and their soldiers fought in a common cause.It was also a source of gratification for Canadians to remember that the Mother Country had during all the years of the Queen's reign preserved peace with the peoples of all countries represented in the cosmopolitan population of the Dominion.THE ARBITRATION TREATY.The announcement that a treaty of arbitration had been negotiated between Great Britain and the United States was hailed with joy by the peoples of both countries.Unhappily that treaty had not received the support of one of the official bodies in the neighboring republic, which was essentiai to its ultimate ratification.It was a fact though, he believed, that the principle of the treaty was as acceptable to the people of the United States as to the people of England.It was a most unfortunate thing that the treaty had not been ratified as there could be no doubt that its adoption by two of the greatest powers in the world would have resulted in the principle of arbitration as a method of settling interaational differences being adopted by the other great European powers with the result that ultimately the condition doscribed in the bible where men would turn their swords into ploughshares would be brought about.Canadians as a peace-loving people had regretted the failure of the United States to assent to the arbitration treaty though they felt that Canada could at all times hold her own in any international struggle.This feeling of security was rendered stronger by the knowledge of the pre-eminent position the Mother Country maintained among the great nations of the world as a military power.While preserving this pre-eminence Great Britain had, during the Queen\u2019s reign, lost much of her hereditary love of war and had done more than any other nation to inaugurate a reign of peace throughout the world.War was now recognized as a calamity for the victors as well as for the vanquished: The reign of «Queen Victoria, largely through its being a reign of peace, had also been marked by the most wonderful moral and commercial development.While the other great nations of Europe were piling up enormous national debts Great Britain had reduced hers by a hundred and sixty millions since the close of the Crimean war and had loaned to other nations more than six hundred millions of pounds sterling.VICTORIAN PROGRESS.Sir Oliver then went on at considerable length to outline the progress made during the Victorian era by the British empire in the acquisition of new territory throughout the world, the extension of her commerce into every portion of the known world, the improvement of her railway and steamship transportation facilities and her application of all the latest scientific discoveries to the useful commercial arts.Consequent upon the immense growth of British commerce and the commercial wealth of the country, he pointed out that the poverty which existed in England sixty years ago was fast disappearing.Sixty years ago eleven hundred thousand of the population of the British Isles were aided by the poor rates.To-dav, despite the immense increase in the population, that number had been reduced to eight hundred thousand, and was rapidly diminishing.The improvement in the system of education and the growth of a strong moral and religious tendency among the people had resulted in a tremendous reduction in the number of criminals, who sixty vears ago numbered thirty thousand, while to-day there were onlv six thousand five hundred in British prisons.PROGRESS IN CANALA.Great as had been the progress of England during the sixty years of the Queen\u2019; reign.the progress in Canada had heen even greater.Ile drew a picture of the geattere:! provinces of the Dominion as they were sixty years ago and compared it with the present condition of Canada as a solidified country\u2014the chiefest colony of the greatest empire in the world.Canada\u2019s constitution had its faults, but he did not think there was another as good in the wide world.It was true that the Canadian Parliament had not always legislated wisely and well, but there was in his opinion no parliament in the world that legislated more wisely even at the present time.After dwelling upon the birth and growth of representative institutions in Canada, the improvement in the educational facilities and the growth and importance of our commerce.he attributed much of the progress and development which had come to Canada during the past sixty years to the wise and beneficent rule of England's Queen.To that noble woman was due the unswerving loyalty of the entire population of Canada and the empire.for her conduct, public and private, since her ascension to the throne had done more than anr- thing else to strengthen the British monarchy and render such development possible.When in God's good time she passed into another world she would long be remembered hy her faithful subjects in Canada as good Queen Victoria.THE ADDRESS.He concluded amidst great applause by moving the adoption of the following address, which was read to the Senators by the Secretary of State, who listened to it standing.To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty: Moat Gracious Sovereign: We your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects the Senate (blank left for the House of Commons) of Canada in parliament assembled, beg to offer our sincere congratulations on the happy completion of the sixtieth year of your auspicious reign.When on the memorable occasion of Your Majesty's golden jubilee the representatives of your loyal Canadian people joined those of other parts of the Empire in expressing their heartfelt pleasure that by the grace of God the nation had for half a century enjoyed the inestimable benefit of Your Ma- Jesty's constitutional and beneficent rule they stated their earnest hope that Your Majesty might be spared for many more years to reign over your loyal subjects.A decade has since passed and to-day we contemplate with renewed satisfaction the fact that Your Majesty is still the head of the State.Not only have none of your illustrious predecessors sat on the throne of our country for so extended a period but in the history of the nations of the world few moparchs have ruled so long and none have been so universally honored and revered.Looking back across the sixty years which have elapsed since Your Majesty's coronation it is impossible not to be Impressed with the immense strides which during that period have been made by the clvilized world in all that constitutes the moral, intellectual and physical well being of mab- kind.The gospel of our Divine Teacher has been preached in the remotest parts of the earth; temperance in all things has become more than at any previous period am accepted rule of human conduct; more adequate provision has been made for suffering humanity ; the administration of justice has been placed on a more humane and otherwise satisfactory basis; great advances have been made in science and the arts; and the literature of the Victorian era passes that of any former period in breadth of thought and general excellence as well as in volume and popular appreciation.By the establishment of railway and steam communication; the inauguration of an improved postal system: the fnvention of the electric telegraph and telephone as well as the general utilization of electric power, and by an indefinite number of other agencies the comfort and convenience of the people have been immensely increased.During the same period the Empire has been enlarged and its scattered members brought into more Intimate fellowship with one another and with the Mother Land.Your Majesty's colonies in North America have but with one excepion been gradually consolidated into a united Dominion, the people of which have been and we believe will continue to be amongst the most loyal of the races and peoples owing fealty to the British Crown.We trust that we and Your Majesty's subjects in other parts of the Empire may continue for many years to come to anjoy the beneflt of your gracious and peaceful ruie; and we earnestly pray that He who is the supreme King of Kings may endow Your Majesty with every blessing in what remains to you of this life and with everlasting felicity in the life to come.SIR MACKENZIE SECONDS.When the applause which greeted the reading of the address had subsided Sir Mackenzie Bowell rose to second the motion for the adoption of the address.He said that in common with the Minister of Justice and others present he had been privileged to live through the long period of the Queen\u2019s reign and was therefore a witness to all the memorable events which the people of Canada were now called upon to commemorate.There was a somewhat pathetic element in the celebration inasmuch as in the ordinary course of things we were compelled to contemplate the close, after sixty years of rule, of one of the most memorable, and beyond all, the most beneficent reigns, in our history.It was the boast of one of the Roman emperors that he found Rome brick and left it marble.Queen Victoria might justly boast that she found her empire comparatively weak and will leave it widespread -and strong beyond even the dreams of any Roman emperor.It would be gross flattery to attribute the progress and greatness of the Empire exclusively to the Queen\u2019s abilities, but it could be fairly claimed for Her Majesty that she has heen one of the hardest laborers in the cause of advancing British civilization.She utilized the genius and reconciled the jealousies of statesmen.The Queen's authority was never used to postpone or prevent the accomplishment of any project which was for the good of her people or the upbuild- ing of her Empire.Every public man was aware of the ever alive and present powers of thr Crown, The reigns of (George MI, George IV.and William IV.showed in many ways how the personali- tv of the ruler was reflected in the national life of tlie monarchy, especially when that ruler was personally opposed to measures of reform and progress.Queen Victoria never stood in the way what the general opinion of the country considered the path of progress.The Queen has indeed been A GREAT STATESWOMAN possessing all the qualities of a wise and sagacious ruler.He would not go over the ground so well covered by the Minister of Justice in tracing the wonderful ES CR OL ANS RENE AE THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.progress made during the Victorian era throughout the Empire, but he desired to recall the fact that at the commencement of Her Majesty's reign Canada was in the throes of a disastrous rebellion.Now the contingent which will represent Canada at the Jubilee will represent one of the most loyal portions of the Empire.Few could forget that at a later period India was ablaze with revolt.To-day the contingent from India will represent the vastest population of loyal people any monarch ever ruled.At the beginning of the Queen\u2019s reign the Australasian colonies had scarcely begun to exist.To-day they are the homes of a large, vigorous and loyal population, who honor England's Queen.All could read and many remember at the ommence- ment of the Queen's reign, when she, but a timid girl, was called to rule over the world's greatest empire, how she received the advice of her constitutional advisors.After sixty years filled with many joys and sorrows the Queen is cnce miore alone, but with an experience and knowledge greater than that of those who may be called upon to advise her.Then she received advice.Now she confers with her advisors.Then she depended for support on the loyal assistance of statesmen and the loyal devotion of her people.Now she is in a position to still command that assistance and devotion in a more ample measure.Sixty years of rule enables her to recall with pride the faithfulness of her people.Sixty years of experience enables her people to recail with pride the royal devotion of their Queen.In common with the supporters and members of the government he had the groatest pleasure in seconding the motion for the adoption of this address commemorative of the sixtieth year of the Quecen\u2019s glorious and beneficent reign.THE FRENCH CANADIANS, Senator Bernier, speaking in French, expressed the loyalty of the French- Canadian citizens of Canada.If called upon to choos: between their present condition and any other the French- Canadians would prefer to live under the British rule.The loyalty of his race to the Mother Country and the constitution of Canada was shown by the way in which a small minority.of French- Canadians in Manitobe submitted to injustice at the hands of the Protestant majority.He expressed the hope that the Queen would have enough influence with that majority to induce it to render justice to their fellow-subjects of French and Roman Catholic origin.The motion for the adoption of the address was then formally passed.A number of bills from the Commons were advanced a stage, after which the Senate adjourned.\u2014\u2014\u2014 TORONTO TOPICS.PASSENGER AGENTS MEET FOR THE PUR POSE OF ARRANGING SUMMER EXCURSION RATES, Toronto, June 2.\u2014The proposed American duty on lumber is still the chief topic among lumbermen here.Mr.DL.White, Canadian manager for Messrs.Loveland, Royce & White, of Saginaw, Mich., says the proposed duty would cause American firms operating in Canada to float their logs to Michigan for manufacture, while the proposed Canadian export duty that would surely follow would completely paralyze the trade for a time, and result in giving southern pine a stronger hold on northern markets.At the Court of Revision at Fast Toronto the assèssment of the poles and wires of the Toronto & Scarboro Railway was confirmed at $2,500.A meeting of the passenger agents of the railway and navigation companies was held to-day.The meeting was for the purpose of arranging rates for the summer excursion business, Among those present were Messrs.Vanx and Shaw, Montreal, of the Grand \u2018trunk; G.T.Dixon, district passenger agent for Toronto; C.E.McPherson, of the Canadian Pacific; Warburton, of the Michigan Central; E.A.Bishop, Hamilton Steamboat Company; Wm.Smith, of the \u2018Empress of India,\u201d and John Foy, for the Niagara Navigation Company.The rates previously had been arranged, but the appearance of the Canadian Pacific upon the scene with its new route from 'Loronto to the Falls and Buffalo and its new connection with the Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo Railway, and the Michigan Central, is said to have necessitated a rearrangement of the schedule.It is understood the excursion rates were arranged for the upper lake boats.A two-days provincial conference of the Ontario liquor license-holders has been called.It will be held at Hamilton on June 17 and 18.A quiet wedding was celebrated in St.Peter\u2019s Church this afternoon, when Miss Edith Bedford became the wife of Mr.T.Arthur Beaument, a well-known Ottawa lawyer and the chairman of the racing board of the C.W.A.The marriage was a quiet one, owing to the death of Mrs.Bendelari, who was Miss Beaford\u2019s guardian.The bride was given away by her uncle, ex-Mayor James Beatty.\u201d She wore a travelling gown of brown.Mises Lizzie Bedford was bridesmaid and Mr.Edward Bremner of Ottawa was best man.Archdeacon Boddy officiated, and after the ceremony \u2018he couple went to the residence of Mr.G.R.Warwick, 109 St.George street, where they received the congratulations of their many friends.After their honeymoon Mr.and Mrs.Beaument will reside at the capital.She SA nr H 1 | VE PT PE NEVER THE CABINET RESIGNED.SPANISH MINISTRY DISGUSTED WITH EXISTING CONDITIONS.WAS UNABLE TO TRANSACT BUSINESS OWING TO TUE ACTION OF THE OPPOSITION.Madrid, June 2.\u2014The Premier, Senor Canovas del Castillo, has tendered to the Queen Regent the resignation of the Cabinet, owing to the difficulty the ministers experience in carrying on the governments«in view of the parliamentary situation caused by the refusal of the Liberals to take part in the deliberations of the Cortes.This attitude of the Liberals is due to the personal encounter between the Duke of Tetuan, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Professor Comas, a Liberal Senator, on May 21, when the Duke slapped the face of the senator after a heated debate on the Morgan belligereney resolution, adopted by the United States Senate.After the meeting in the lobbies of the Senate between the Duke of Tetuan and Professor Comas, the Liberal minority held a meeting, apd ex-Premier Sagasta, the Liberal leader, was summoned to confer with his followers.The Liberal senators and depnties eventually decided not to attend any more sessions SENOR ,CANOVAS DEL CASTILLO, Late Prima Minister of Spain.of the Cortes until full satisfaction had been accorded the Liberal party by the Duke of Tetuan.A duel between the senator and the Duke was proposed, but it was eventually abandoned.The Duke of Tetuan at first tendered his resignation, but he withdrew it later on the advice of the Premier, who, the personal question of the dispute having been settled by the seconds of the two parties deciding that a duel was not necessary, held that in view of the pending importance of international questions, the Ministry should not be disorganized.The Liberals, however, resolutely declined to change their attitude.The dissident Conservatives also absented themselves.Since that time efforts have been made to conduct the government and the deliberations of the Cortes without the Liberals and the dissident Conservatives.Bills providing for the expenses of the wars in Cuba and in the Philippine Islands have been introduced in the Chamber of Deputies by the Minister for the (Colonies, and have been adopted without the Liberals and their supporters.The Cabinet crisis has come more suddenly than was expected.The Queen Regent, after consulting with the political leaders of all parties and with General Martinez Campos, will decide whether to invite the Conservatives to continue in office or to call upon the Liberals to assume it.The latter will not accept office under any idea of yielding to pressure from the United States or the dismissal of Captain-General Weyler at the instigation of the United States.But Senor Sagasta, the Liberal leader, is confident of his ability to pacify Cuba, and to give satisfaction to the United States by appointing General Campos to carry out the Cuban reforms.The political horizon is obscured and political opinion is greatly divided as to the probable solution of the difficulty.London, June 3.\u2014The Madrid correspondent of the \u2018Times\u2019 says:\u2014' The Queen Regent has accepted the resignation of the Cabinet of Senor Canovas del Castillo.It has caused a profound sensation.Before {finally taking this step Her Majesty begged Senor Canovas to remain in office until to-morrow, in order that she might have another opportunity to consider the matter in council, but this only meant that the resig- pation would be accepted.Senor Cano- vas tendered his resignation Lecause he could not again undertake to re-establish relations with the Liberals.He preferred to leave to the Crown full liberty to decide as to the best solution.\u2018Both Houses of the Cortes voted without debate the financial supplies bill necessary to enable the Cortes to adjourn sine die, and granted authority for the issue of treasury bonds and the contraction of loans guaranteed by the Spanish Treasury to cover the expenses of the wars in Cuba and the Philippine Islands, with a special lien on the revenues of Spain for the Cuban war loan.\u201cThe Queen Regent then signed the decree suspending the sittings, whereupon Senor Canovas immediately tendered his resignation.\u2019 MICHIGAN PEACH CROP RUINED.Grand Rapids, Mich., June 2 Inter views with western Michigan growéls show that the peach crop is almost ruined.Mr.Robert Graham says there will not be ten percent of an average crop.There has been little frost, but continued cold weather has done more herm than could any frost in the way of blasting buds.Mr.Charles W.Garfield, one of the most prominent horticulturists, confirins the statements of Mr.Graham.He says :\u2014\u2018'Peach curls are all dropping off my trees, and T do not believe I will have any fruit at all to speak of.The cold and wet weather have done it, and they have done vast injury to apples, pears, plums and other fruit too.I have just returned from a trip about the state, and I believe the outlook for Michigan fruit this year is very discouraging.\u2019 pe QUEBEC EN FETE.DID HONOR TO MR.MARCHAND AND MAYOR PARENT.GRAND DEMONSTRATION LAST NIGHT BY TUE LIBERALS-\u2014 NOTES.Quebec, June 3\u2014The demonstration here last night in honor of the advent to power of the Marchand ministry was one of the grandest and most enthusiastic ovations ever extended to any one in the Ancient Capital.The weather was splendid, and it seemed as if the entire population, strengthened by large accessions from Levis and all the other surrounding localities, had gathered in the streets and on the public places along the line of march of the triumphal procession to welcome and cheer the new premier and his colleagues.All through Quebec Centre and Quebec East the popular enthusiasm was immense, and found vent not only in an almost constant outburst of applause from the multitude, but in a profuse display of flags and other decorations, besides almost endless ; fireworks and illuminations.The City Hall especially was very handsomely decorated and illuminated in honor of Mayor Parent, the new Commissioner of | Crown Lands, and at various points ! along the line of march, particularly in Quebec East, a number of handsome bouquets were presented by the wives and | daughters of enthusiastic Rouges to Mr.Marchand and his colleagues, which were feelingly acknowledged.At the Chateau Frontenac, from which the procession started, there was a magnificent pyrotechnical display, as also at the City | Hall, on the Esplanade, at St.John's | Gate and at the residences of Mayor Parent, Mr.Robitaille, M.P.P., and many others.Four bande enlivened the march-with their music, and the procession was headed by one of these, followed by the members of the different local bicycle clubs on handsomely decorated wheels.The premier was driven in a splendid open carriage drawn by four horses, accompanied by Mr.A.Robi- taille, M.P.P., the president of the Liberal executive of the Quebec district, and Mayor Parent, while the other ministers followed in other vehicles, after which came the torchlight bearers and an immense cortège of carriages filled with enthusiastic Liberals.It was a late hour before the procession reached back to the Chateau Frontenac, and a most successful jubilation was brought to an end.NOTES.The Hon.A.Turgeon, the new Commissioner of Colonization and Mines, was entertained at a banquet last evening by his friends of Levis, and it is the intention of some of Quebec\u2019s principal citizens to give a grand dinner to Mayor Parent on the occasion of the jubilee festivities.Attorney-General Archambault has suspended an employee of his department named Chapman for offensive partisanship.An investigation will be held.In the Superior Court yesterday
