Cornwall, 3.was the result of the championship lacrosse match here to-day between the above teams.It was one of those pecullar matches that are hard to analyze, inasmuch as the Cornwall players seemed io bave seven- ty-five percent of the play in their favor.From a spectatcr's standpoint, the To- rontos were outclassed from start to finish.The Cornwall home had the ball most of the time, and kept it among themsolves, and accuracy.Often a minute or two would elapse with the ball falling Into a Toronto stick, but the Cornwalls did not shoot often enough, and when they did they generally found Allan or Patterson in the flags.They had some hard luck, too, and Turner scorsd at least one goal which the umpire did not see, and therefore, it was not counted.In the field, Cornwall bad quite an advantage all day.The Cornwall defence played a good game, but the Toronto home were very (ricky, and shot wickedly every opportunity they got.The Toronto defence played an admirable game Allen w2zs a star in goals, and Patterson Shea and Moore were a regular stonewall.Indeed, the Torontos seemed to have taken a leat out of an old Cornwall book, for their defence could not be drawn out at all.The attendance was not as large as was expected, about six hundred people being present when the teams lined up.The teams were as follows: Toronto\u2014Allan, goal; Patterson, point ; Shea, cover point; Griffith, Moore and Murray ,defence field; Reid, centre, Ga.e, Moran and Downey, home field; Smith, outside home; Nolan, inside home; P.McCullough, captain.Cornwall\u2014L.White, goal; A.Riviere, pt.; Crites, cover poirt: W.Broderick, J.White and Degan, defence field; P.White, centre; W.Black, O'Callaghan and J.Broderick, home fleld: Tobin, outside home; Turner, inside home; J, Riley, captain.Umpires\u2014W.Pollock and G.S.Cop2- land.Timekeepers \u2014 P.Lillie and J.B.Mac- pherson.Referee\u2014D.Tansey, Montreal.There bad been a good deal of speculation a\u201d day as to whether or not Shea, the expelled Ottawan, would play with Toronto or not, and when he appeared on the field, the Cornwall captain flled a formal protest with the referee, claiming that Shea had not been released from the Capital Lacrosse Club, and had not been a member of the Toronto Club for thirty days.Cornwall won the toss and played with the wind and sun.After some end to end work, the Cornwall home handled the ball almost continuously, but they did not shoot as often as they might.Turner made a grand effort, and reached the ball through the goal from behind, but Referee Pollock did not see it.Shea relieved, and after some dangerous work, Nolan srored.The second game was repetition of the first, and so much did the Cornwalls handle the ball that after they tled the score with two short games the majority of the passing it back and forth with great epecd- WW 3.OFF » DAILY WITNESS.tunity,\u201d ana ze shat and made the score once more evon.The seventh game was a lively one, and although in it honors were more evenly divided than in the previous games, it Was close and exciting till Moran scored for Toronto after eight minutes\u2019 pay., Thirty seconds yet remained to play, and the Cornwalls went out as a forlorn hope, but failed to score.Cornwall will push the protest against Shea, and it 1s expected that the league will order the matrh to be played over in Cornwall.Summary\u2014 Game.Won by.Scorer.Time.1.Toronto.Nolan .+ + .9.00 .Toronto.Smith .+ .6.80 3.Cornwall.Turner .« .1.00 4.Ccrnwall.P.White .2.00 B.\u2026\u2026.Toronto.Nolan .+ .25.0) 6.Cornwall.Broderick.+ .3.00 To.Toronto.\u2026.Moran .& « .8.00 8.Unfinished.CAPITALS V8.SHAMROCKS.In their match with the Young Capitals of Ottawa here on Saturday the Young Shamrocks of Montreal had the luck against them throughout.They entered the field with several of their best men missing.while on the other hand their opponents were unusually strong.The match, which resulted in a victory for the Young Capitals by a score of 7 to 3, was not a very excit- {ing one or remarkable for very brilliant play.It was merely a plucky fight on the part of the Young Shamrocks against a superior force.Nevertheless with the full strength of their team in the field the Young Capitals will find them a dangerous enemy.oobin's absence was keenly felt on the home.Currie and Dobby played good lacrosse and the two juniors Listow and Brennan showed up well.The Ottawa -players were much the heavier team and had the best of the play throughout the Binks, defence;

Xbolley, point : Shore, cover point; Lafleur, Powers and - _\u2014_\u2014_\u2014_\"_\u2014_ _\u2014_\u2014_\u2014m\u2014\"\"\"\"___ or club, for all clubs in Montrea! are offenders in a greater or lesser degree.The great majority of the players in Montreal have played the game in the Old Country, then let them play with the same spirit which must have inspired them there, and show that the game can be played with as much enthusiasm and \u2018go\u2019 here as in the land of its birth.Hill, for the victors, hit In his accustomed style for 40, and Shaw put together a creditable 19.Hainsworth was the mainstay of his side bowling in good form, and, what is better, with effect, and set an example to the whole fleld for energetic work.With improvement in batting the Standard will in another year make a bet- er showing against the Montreal clubs.core:\u2014 STANDARD \u2014 FIRST INNINGS.A.Hainsworth, c aud b Hill .2 T.Pugh.¢ Worham, b Phillpot .2 J.Clayton, b Phtllpot .0 J.J.Boyes, ¢ Hoad, b Phillpot .«.2 P.Wood, b Hill .+ +2 ++ a+ os eo 0 W.Clayton, rot out .eu +o vce oo 3 G.Gingell, b Phillpot ee eo es ++ 2.0 H.Clayton, b Hill .«.co vv ++ + 0 J.Millar, b Phillpot .\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.ve oD A.Cotton, b Hi) .Le += 2e ++ +0 0e 1 S.Jones, b Hill .22 00 25 0000 2 BYCS cre 6 +4 cosccnseuveus pas sncuu00 2 Total .vr +.tire ve ++ 4e ++ +» ve 0 19 McGILL\u2014FIRST INNINGS.Richardscn, b Boyes .§ G.Lyman, ¢ and b Halmsworth .5 W.Phillpot, b Hainsworth .9 .ul.ry H.C.Hil ¢ W, Clayton, b J.Clayton.40 A.B.Weod, b H.Hatusworth .0 H.F.Hoad, ¢c Boyes, b Hainsworth .8 E.Lomax, b Hainsworth .«.0 G.A.Shaw, b J.Clayton .u ec oo oo ».19 Wonham, retired out .co oo «oo 0 A.R.Oughtred, not out .00 co es oo 1 J.J.Blythe, absent .+ .\u2026.0.9 Byes .ce se as ee 18 Wides oo eo ao ++ ++ oo so 25 eo ow +o 2 .tere +5 se ee me assess 00.108 ANALYSIS OF BOWLING.Standard, first innings\u2014 0.M.PR.Hil .++ +.+.18 10 7 Phillpot .12 6 10 McGill, first innings\u2014 Total ta > WOHOOM ao Haipsworth .20 6 Pugh ec so + + © eo + à 3 0 6 Cotion .\u2026.2.++ 00 0.À 1 5 Boyes .\u2026 +.oo oo DO 0 25 .Wood.+ ee eens 2 0 13 J.Clayton .5 1 11 POINT ST.CHARLES AND \u2018VETS.\u2019 A match was played on Saturday between the Point St.Charles Cricket Club end its old members which resulted in a win for the \u2018Vets.The following is the score:\u2014 PAST MEMBERS.Moore, lbw .++ +» +.oe Burn, c Jenkins, b Adams .« \u2026 .\u2026.l MeNeilage, b Adams .\u2026.\u2026.Blore, Fox .«i +.oe as Pearson, ¢ Kennedy, b Edison .Farrar, b Annand .A.Powrald, b Edison .«.Hoyland, b Annand .«so ++».Drummond, b Edison .+ +.+.Duckett, b Edison .5 o\u2026vovo H.Fern, b Edison .m.0 00 Hayles, not eut .Extras a.06 ee aavessosse A te ee ee er ve ee ee es ee BT PRESENT MEMBERS.E.E.Fox, c Burn, b Moore .«+ .W.H.Morgan, b Moore .++ +.0 W.Edison, b Pearson .+ +.+» +o .J.Glass, b Moore .6 vescevescee F.Adams, b Moore .\u2026.+ ++ 0 se 0.T.Jenkirs, Ibw .++ + +» 0.P.J.Smith, ¢ Moore, b Pearson .Anpend, b Mcore .S.Kennedy, ¢ Hoyland, b Pearson .S.Windsor, not out .H.Nicholson, b Pearson .ve 6» .\u2026.\u2026.W.Colbe Biggs.Pembroke, Ont.;

seems that some time last week she left home fur the purpose of joining her husband in Owen Sound, Ontario.Mrs.Smith arrived in Halifax on Saturday by the steamship \u2018Portia\u2019 and left that city the same evening for Montreal.On arrival at Windsor station, being a stranger and not knowing where to go.she was directed by somebody to a small restaurant on St.James street, near the Bonaventure station.There she took a lunch and was afterwards Shuwn a room where she intended to walt until her train started for Owen Sound.Soon after the woman of the hcuse had left her it fs surmised that she became nervous and wandered out of the place.Subsequently Mrs.Smith was found at the house of Mr, Watson on Lansdowne avenue where she had asked for a drink of water.Mrs.Watson acted the good Samaritan and gave the woman a good meal.As she conducted herself in a very peculiar manner and showed signs of mental derangement, on \u201cthe advice of Mr.E.W.T.Raddon, who happened to be visiting Mr.Watson.it was thouzæht advisabie to remove the unfortun- are woman to the St.George's Home.This was done.but at that place her nervousness became so intense that No.6 Poiice station officials were notified and it took three policemen to hold her.Dr.Bouchard, the police surgeon, was next sent for and prononnecd har a man!ac.Eventually she was conveyed to Verdun Asylum._\u2014

drive him to the Riendeau Hotel.He got into the venicle and after a somewhat tedious drive arrived at his destination.He proceeded to give the rabman the proper fare of twenty-five cents but the fellow demanded a dollar and after much argument hes got it and went off.Mr.Gauvrecau afterwards discoverad that the eabman had taken a long way round so as to extort from him a doller which is four times the regular tare.Thus it is that some cabmen will take adran- tag> of strangers and people visiting Montreal should beware of such defrauders.ee ST.MATTHEW'S SUNDAY SCHOOL.Saturday's ideal

UNDERSTANDING IS WORTH A GREAT DEAL MORE.London, July 19\u2014Mr.T.P.O'Connor, the Irish M.P., in yesterday's \u2018 Weekly : Sun\u2019 says: Mr.Sherman, the American Secretary of State, is a useful reminder to the rulers of the country that the world is not all peace and friendship to Great Britain.humane man something of a pity that these constant bickerings should take place between two nations so bound up by common interests and great common heritages as America and England.There are doubtless sections of opinion in America which are distinctly pro-English.The section of which this can be said with the most certainty is the KEpiaco- palian body.Episcopalians of the United States have strong affiliations with the Anglican Church, and in religion blood is thicker than water.Moreover, this body, though not numerically very large, is very influential.Some of the greatest financiers of America are Episcopalians(and financiers all over the world have a good deal to say on the great issues of peace or war).This section of opinion is dead against any misunderstanding, \u2018nuch less conflict, with Great Britain, but, aîter all, the truth must be faced.There is in the United States a very powerful, very constant and, at times, a very rabid current of hostility to England and statesmen will be fool ish who do not recognize this fact, and recognizing 1t, take steps to bring it to an end.\u2018 Meantime, :t is somewhat to be regretted that diplomatic correspondence between the two governments cannot be carried on in language a little more restrained.The American statesman js a little too downright for the language which men arc accustomed to use when they are dealing with such dreadfully inflammable forces as national passions.I see that some of the Americans frankly criticise the tone of Mr.Sherman's despatch, and, in the face of that criticism, it is not necessary for British journalists to say much more.Lt us hope that the wisdom and good sense of the government of Jord Salisbury will see this country through this imbroglio.Seals are vatit- able things in their way, but the real intercsts of the two countries is a peaceful and cordial understanding, and that is worth a good many seals.\u2019 > MUST WEAR UNION MADE SHOES.Chicago, July 10.\u2014FKvery man who marches in the big Labor Day parade must wear union-made shoes, with the union label imprint on the soles.A committee has been appointed to inspect every shoe in the line of march, and any man found guilty of wearing nonunion shoes will be dealt with accordingly.The action to this effect was taken at the meeting of the Chicago Federation of Labor on the suggestion of William Jones, of the Boot and Shoe Union of America.Mr.Jones demanded that the hoot ard shoe makers\u2019 union label be given the same place as printers, cigar- makers, coopers, and horse-shoers\u2019 copyrighted devices.He argued that the la hor leaders had decided no horses shall he ridden

proportions for such a young organization and is now thoroughly representative of the great Canadian west.Visitors from eastern Canada declare that it even rivals Toronto's big exhibition, and they are astonished at its size and completeness.It is certainly much better this year than ever before, in every respect.Winnipeg is alreadv crowded with visitors, the hotel and other accommodation being severe- Iv taxed.Not only are thousands in attendance from all portions of Manitoba and the Territories, but this vear many have come from the neighboring states, so many, indeed, that the management has decided on having an American Day when the Stars and Stripes will be very much in evidence.All this week Winnipeg will be completely given over to the exhibition and with favorable weather its success should beat all previous records.FAST ATLANTIC LINE.Ort.FALSE IMPRESSION REGARDING THE ATTITUDE OF THE BRITISH ADMIRALTY.Ottawa, Ont., July 19.\u2014A cablegram stating that the British Admiralty had declined to accept the type of vessel submitted by Messrs.Petersen, Tate & Co.for the new fast Atlantic line, is believed to have emanated from those who have from the first opposed the contract.The Admiralty did at first object to anything of a turret type of vessel, but d.d not persist, and sent a communication stating some modifications which in their opinion it would be better to adopt in the style of the vessel.This showed clearly that the Admiralty had approved of the turret or bottle-nosed variety of vessel, and merely suggested some improvements, which suggestions were agreed to.It is unlikely that the authorities have changed their minds.AN AERONAUT\u2019S FATAL FALL.Redwood, N.Y., July 19.\u2014A bad accident occurred here to-day during the balloon ascension at Shark\u2019s circus.The balloon had reached a distance of between two and three hundred feet from the ground when it caught fire and burned.The parachute failed to operate in time and the balloonist, M.C.Griffith, fell to the ground and sustained fatal injuries, .\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014e \u2018SWIMMING THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.« oo (New York \u2018 Times.\u2019) If Peter McNally accomplishes the fcat he says he will undertake to-mor- row or Sunday of swimming from Dover to Calais in less than twenty hours, he will Leat all the long-distance swimming records.To be sures Ernest von Schoe- ning swam all the way from Pier No.1 North River to Norton\u2019s Point, Coney Island, a distance of about twenty miles, one day in August, 1880, in eight hours and forty-five minutes, but he had the tide with him both ways.In crossing the English Channel McNally will have no such advantage, while the Channel waters at their best are much more difficult for a swimmer to breast than thowe of New York Bay on an August day.The distance from Dover te Calais in a straight line is twenty-six miles.The late Capt.Webb swam from the English to the French port in the summer of 1875, but it was computed that the tides carried him so far out of his way that he swam about thirty-five miles.His time was twenty-one hours and forty-five minutes, and the swimmer who excels that record will become justly famous, for the tides in the Channel have a ve locity of about one knot an hour, which means that every hour McNally is in the water he will sur:ly be carried one kuot off his straight course in one direction or the other.A very different sort of feat this will be, therefore, from von Schoening\u2019s, in which the swimmer was sustained in his course each way by a very swift tide.Webb once swam, with the tide, in the Thames River, forty miles in nine hours and fifty-seven minutes.\u2019 McNally is unquestionably a strong long-distance swimmer, and \u2018his feats are well remembered in Boston, but he has no \u2018official\u2019 record and he is not an acknowledged \u2018champion.\u2019 His reputation for veracily is good, and the author of the cable dispatch which credits him with declaring himself \u2018 champion long- distance swimmer of America\u2019 was probably misinformed.The men who by feats of this description test human endurance and prove man\u2019s ahility, unaided, to propel his body for many hours through the water are positively benefactors of the human race.Any incident which directs general at- tetion to the art of swimming, too, and serves to stimulate interest in it, is of genuine importance.Tt is dowhtless true that most men, and more women than formerly, can swim, after a fashion.But the number of deaths by drowning in sight of land does not perceptibly diminish from var to year.Swimming as it is generally practiced is a rather pleasing accomplishment of little or no practical value.Tn crossing the Channel McNally can do no more than swim well; though, of course, both his endurance and his courage are his own special attributes.His art is so simple, | theugb, that all who undertake to learn jt chonl& mastar it thoroughly.ADVERTISEMENTS.18 18] 0020990090090 0993000000009292352 909909300000 0009000 .Phillips WAS ANN LE less 5 p.c.for cash.: (COLON TAL - ILLINERY, &c, Half Price Sale.On

of the lighthouse at Pointe Claire.Mr.Crevier had noticed on the previous night that No.3 lighthouse did not show any light at all.When Friday evening came round and again there was no light to be seen at No.3, he resolved to ascertain the reason, so he jumped into a boat and rowed over to the lighthouse.He called Mr.Daoust by name, but, receiving no reply, he entered, to find the old keeper in his bed apparently asleep.But he was dead.A doctor was summoned, who said that apoplexy was probably the cause of death.Coroner MeMahon was at once notified, who made enquiry into the circumstances and, finding that death was due to natural causes, did mot summon a jury.The deceased had been in charge of the lighthouse for the past four years.He leaves a widow and three grown-up children, cne of whom, Mr.Arthur Daoust, is the assistant secretary-treasurer of Lachine.The funeral took place this morning.re HOSPITAL NOTES.There died at Notre Dame Hospital this morning, Mrs.J.owen, seventy-five

this evening at 7.30.Early yesterday morning the ambulance was called to No.8 Police Station, on Seigneurs street, for a man named Do- mimique Goyer, aged sixty, who was suffering much pain caused by drinking part of a bottle of pain-killer.He was reported this morning as doing pretty well.Little Alfred Ravel, the most seriously injured victim of the Sohmer Park explosion, is still alive and it

a bad fracture of the spine and it was found impossible to save his life.Coroner McMahon held an inquest at the hospital this morning.The evidence showed that deceased must have missed his footing at the edge of the hold and so have fallen in.He was a very sober and steady man.The jury, after a brief deliberation returned a verdict of accidental death.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 ACTIONS AGAINST THE

their cellars having been flooded Avurine tha recent heavy rains.SAD FATALITY.Ou Saturday night a young carpenter named Ormiras Martin, living on Quer- bes street, Outremont, was leaving a bouse at which he had been visiting and in the dark missed his footing at the top of the staircase which resulted in his falling down the entire flight of staira.He was picxed up in an insensible condition and bleeding badly from ears, nose and mouth.Medical attendance was promptly secured but the doctors pronounced Martin dead for he bad broken his neck.The coroner was communni- cated with and Mr.Lacroix, the deputy coroner, investigated the facts for Mr.McMahon, It was ascertained that death was due to accident so a jury was not summoned.The unfortunate young man was buried this afternoon in Cote des

Saginaw are tied up and everybody walks.This is a result of the fight which has been going on for several months between the city and the Union Street Railway Company, which culminated recently in a decision of the Supreme Court sustaining the right of the city to resort to extreme measures to compel the railway to settle for special improvement taxes long past due.The council adopted a resolution forfeiting the franchise, and the board of public works ordered the track to be torn up.The street cars ran as usual up to eleven o'clock on Friday night.Then the chief of police, acting under orders of the Mayor, had a big steamer road- rcller weighing ten tons run from its ghelter to the street railway where it was placed directly across the tracks leading to the main lines.W.G.Gage, attorney for the company, refused to-day to state what course would be pursued, but it is probable an appeal will be made to the Supreme Court of the United States.Several hundred men are thrown out of employment by the tie up.\u2014ie WELSH GETS TWENTY YEARS.Windsor, Ont, July 19.\u2014Joseph Welsh the escaped convict who shot Detective Mahoney in the leg while endeavoring to

life.Judge Horne said his rec ord was a bad one throughout; that he had twice been sent to the penitentiary and had an unfinished sentence before him.He had deliberately fired at an officer who was doing his duty, and might have killed him.\u2018But I did not try to kill him,\u201d interjected the prisoner.\u2018That makes no difference,\u2019 the judge went on calmly.The penalty for your

an evidently competent observer to a distinct improvement in manners among the younger men of the Atlantic cities.As he confines his observations to the idle classes, his report could only have a secondary interest for those who have no time for club life, were it not that the manners of the leisure classes are not only reflected but, as in an imperfect looking-glass, exaggerated and distorted in the ways of society generally.Our observer speaks slightingly of the Grandisons who were old in the sixties and, as he knew only the idle ones, bis criticism may be just, but never was there a less pleasing contrast than that between the stately cour tesy and solicitous, tolerant and kindly consideration manifested by the well-re- membered elders now all gone\u2014we refer of course to those who had the advantage of early breeding\u2014and the contemptuous salutations, or rather sniffs, of the generation to which this writer assigns himself.Our contemporary ascribes the decadence to the prevailing fad of the upper class in Bri\u2018ain\u2014and doubtless with reason, for that class has in its keeping the manners of our race.It is its one distinctive mission to supply manners to those who have less time and opportunity to cultivate them, and if it supplies none, vulgarity will rule.When the removal of the veneer of formality reveals genuine good breeding one is glad of the change, but in the majority it reveals something else.One only needs to attempt for a moment to imagine young gentlemen and ladies of the best socinty to-day conferring with each other in the shapely diction used by the same class as described by Miss Austen to see how utterly manners have changed.A certain ring of unreality has certainly heen got rid of with the adoption of the Lluff, direct slangy intercourse of to-day.We can never go back, or want to go back, to the artificiality which condemned the past, but we are glad that an era of bet ter manners, an era of consideration for equals and respect tor reniors, is coming in.P.E.I.ELECTIONS.The elections to the legislature of Prince Edward Island take place on Thursday next, and are for some reason looked forward to with more than usual interest by the people of the Dominion generally, probably out of curiosity more than anything else na to whether the unbroken line of Liberal successes in general elections is to be comtinned.A Liberal government is in power, led by Mr.Fred.Peters, an able lawyer and one of the Dominion counsel in the Belring Sea sealing arbitration over the question of damages to the seized schooners.The Conservative Opposition is making a hard fight, and candidates representing both parties have been nominated in every constituency.Formerly, the province had a double-chambered parliament, com- poged of a council of thirteen members elected by freeholders of property of three hundred and twenty-four dollars in value, and an assembly of thirty members elected practically on a basis of man- bly is now composed of fifteen council lors and fifteeh assemblymen elected on the same basis as formerly in rifteen con- stituencles, but exercising the same rights, privileges and functions equally in the chamber.There is no very important issue before the province.The government is charged with failing to keep its promises of instituting strict economy and bringing about an equilibrium between receipts and expenditure.The government tahes credit for various economies, and also defends the increases ! in expenditure, which have been upon edncation, which has cost eight thousand dollars a year more than before, and upon improved ferry accommodation to the main coast, always an important matter to the island province.The Peters Government appeals, too, for a continuance in office in order that it may have an opportunity of completing the settlement of the accounts between the Dominion and the province, which it declares it has pressed with good prospects of success.Charlottetown will also vote on the question whether the Scott Act shall be repealed or not.The prohibitionists have carried on a yery vigorous campaign, and are confident of confirming the act.= .THE NEW GOLD REGION.There ig no reason to doubt the reports of the extraordinarily rich yield of gold of the placer mines of the Klondike district.The Klondike, or Trondek, river is a small tributary of the Yukon, about two hundred and forty miles above Cirele City, the centre of the gold mining river on the Yukon, which has hitherto attracted so much attention and so many miners, Circle City is on the frontier line between the Canadian North-West Territory and Alaska, the richest mines of the district being in Canada.The newly-discovered Klondike region, two hundred and forty miles further up, must be well within Canadian territory, though the Yukon river 1Uns neariy along the line of the frontier for some distance above Circle City.All the despatches from the Pacific coast come from United States points, and the most of them state that the Klondike distriet is in Alaska, but that is probably owing to the carelessness or ignorance of the writers.It is very curious that \u2018the rich mining districts of the Lake of the Woods region of the Koo-te- nay river and of the Yukon, though vear the frontier, are in Canadian territory.The Klondike district seems to have been only discovered a year ago next month, and since that time over a million dollars\u2019 worth of gold has been taken out, according to the most moderate reports, some probably greatly exaggerated accounts placing the total value at over five millions.If even the smalle- estimate of the value of gold taken out of the region during the first year be true, it probably beats all records of first yields, whether in California, Australia or the Transvaal.The largeness of the immediate yield is, of course, owing to the fact that the gold is found free, and simply needs to be washed out by the ordinary placer methods, which can be werked by two or three men rapidly, and by even one man more slowly and laboriously.In the case of the Transvaal mines, the gold has to be extracted by a costly process which involves large reducing establishments, as well as expensive deep mining.The Klondike mines, may, though there is no reason to suppose it, prove less profitable ultimately than the Transvaal mines, which grow richer the farther down they are dug.But the fact that the gold is near the surface, and is easily taken out bv band labor, will attract thousands of working men and laborers under the idea that as little or mo capital is needed for mining or working in such a region they will not need money to start with.But this is a mistake.The Klondike region is almost under the Arctic circle.From Victoria, B.C., to Juneau City is about elght hundred miles by sea as the crow flies, and from Juneau City to the Klondike region across a sea of mountains is atout four hundred miles, also as the crow flies.To transport oneself and the provisions, clothing and tools necessary to Juneau City is costly, though comparatively easy, as steamers ply, but the rest of the journey over mountain passes afoot and down rivers by boats built by the traveller himself, requires an excep- ticnal combination of health, strength, gkill and pluck.An easier but more costly way of reaching the district is by stenmer and sailing boats by the Behring Sea and up the Yukon river.Even this mgm og ye Win a RE | or eight months, during the most of which, at least near Circle City, mining | could not be carried on, and the miners found it vety difficult, shut up in their lit- | tle huts for months, to keep body and mind in any degree of health.l.ong periods of idleness always demoralize men in such mining camps.In the Klondike region it appears that it is possible to throughout the carry on operations winter months.All things taken into account, gold is dear to come by even in the Klondike district, as well as elsewhere.It may be doubted whether the new discoveries, no matter how rich, will do much for the development of Canada.Miners from all over the world will of course rush in, and many will get very rich, but they and their riches will not stay in the pleasant parts of the North-West Territories, not to speak of those parts which lie nearly under the Arctie circle.There can be no after-settlement and developmemt of the country, as of California.A few Canadians will get rich, and probably many more people who start for the Yukon gold districts will reach Canada thon will ever get to the Pacific coast, not to speak of Klondike river, and these may help develop the more stable resources of the Dominion.The discoveries will of course advertise Canada as gold discoveries alone can do.The United States press is working hard to create the impression that the rich districts are in Alaska, probably with the idea of booming Alaska gold mining shared, but the truth will quickly be known everywhere.GERMAN AFFAIRS.Berlin, July 17.\u2014De.Reimbold of Wies- baden, the newly-appointed professor of social science at the University of Ber lin, took occasion at a farewell bamquet tendered him, to make a speech ridiculing the government\u2019s fear of sociallsm.He said that the method of governing now in vogue in Prussia was a danger for Prussia and for the whole of Ger- meny, and predicted that the German people in the coming elections would show plainly that they intended to be ruled mo longer as at present.He concluded: \u2014\u2018 Monarchism is powerless.to accomplish radical reformatory measures.Only a free people, though one with a cal reforms.\u2019 The Emperor William is greatly displeased with the decision of the court of arbitration which deprives his brother in-law, Prince Adolf Schaumburg-Lippe, of the right of succession to the regency in Lippe-Detmold.The regency is worth 240,000 marks a year.Prince Adolf is comparatively poor.He has gone back to Bonn to resume his military duties.The Emperor's telegram to the Prince, after the decision by the King of Saxony in favor of Count Lippe Biesterfeld, has caused a great deal of excitement among the German particularists.It contains the following sentence: \u2014\u2018 Detmol could never have a better and worthier master and mistress than you two.\u201d Special offence has been given to this reference to the princess, whose escapades are a familiar topic of goseip in court circles.The tenor of the whole telegram, and the fact that the Emperor addresses his brother-in-law with the familiarity of private correspondence, shows that he did not intend his despatch for publisa- tion.mere A UNIQUE SERVICE.PUEBLO ABANDONS HER CHURCH SERVICES TO LISTEN TO BOOTH-TUCKER.Pueblo, Colo., July

jail, has resumed duty.The investigation held by the Attorney- General, the Hon.Mr.Archambault, went to show that he was entirely blameless, and the only reason for his suspension at the time was that at the moment it was impossible for the governor to fix the blame of the occurrence on the proper shoulders.Yesterday morning all the recently appointed guards went on duty for the first time.\u2014\u2014 TWO EXCURSIONISTS.Two young men in camping-out uniform crossed from Victoria square along St.James street this morning, and with slouch hats, knapsacks, surmounted with axes, etc.,

three lakes at Ste.Agathe, and are now on their way back to Boston.Victuals were prepared in the way usual on such expeditions, and the tramp would have beem altogether enjoyable if mosquitoes had

himself as a discourager of litigation.His latest good deed was in settling a case between two farmers and frmilies that has been in the courts for ten vears.In 1887 there lived at Oak Point, King's County, on the River £t.John, families by the name of Inch and Flewelling who.up to that time were on the most friendly terms.They used to worship in the same little school building before the present places of worship were built.In 1887 George Inch fenced in a certain spring, which created all the disturbance of the after years.George Flewelling opposed this tooth and nail, and.claiming the spring, tore down the fence, but after this was done no agreement could be reached, because when srveyed by two surveyors, it was found that the survey of one gave the spring to Inch, while that of the other gave it to Flewelling.The battle began anew, and one afernoon that spring was the scene of a quagrel, when Inch sought to fence on thesffne favorable to him, while Flewelling opposed it.Inch then sved Flewelling, and when the witnesses were coming down in the steamer a quarrcl arcse, which ended in one person being knocked down, and, of course, this end:d in another lawsuit with Flewelling as defendant, and Flewelling won.His casc was tried at Hampton, the shire town of Kings, as was also, the action for trespass.In the latter suit forty witr esses were examined on each side, and Inch won.But although Inch won he did not so readily recover the amount of the verdict.Wm.A.Beckett advanced the money for Flewelling to carry on the suits at law, taking a deed of the Flewelling property for so doing.Beckett mortgaged the property to his mother, who this month gave notice of sale under the mortgage.This stirred up Inch again, who brought up Flewelling for examination under the judgment, and subpoenaed Beckett as a winess.Inch\u2019s cleim was partially reduced by payment, and now amomted to about $600.Bec kett claimed $097.Things were shaping splendidly for a big equity suit when Judge Forbes suggested that the case be settled all round, and asked each claim- ont what they would take to give up their claims to Flewelling.After considerable talk Inch agreed to take $150, and Beckett, not to be outdone in generosity, reduced his claim to $535.Mr.Barnhill, a lawver, was just passing, and Judge Forbes called him in, and while the iron was hot had it arranged that Barnhill would draw up the necessary papers whereby the Flewellings would get their property back, Beckett get his amount and Inch his, all to be concluded in ten days.But even then the judge wus not satisfied.He turned to the Jiti- gants and said :\u2014\u2018 Now you must shake hands and make up friends\u2019 These old neighbors were evidently longing to Jo.so, for the genuine heartiness of their handshake made up for all the lapses of the past vears, and thus the chasm of vears was bridged by the happy thought, erergetic words and kindly action of the County Court judge.\u2014 THE ANCIENT CAPITAL WHISKEY SMUGGLING.Quebec, July 19.\u2014About a fortnight since, a large schooner, the \u2018 Ste.Anne; owned by Mr.A.Gagnon of Pentecost River, and commanded by Captain O.Bernier, arrived at Chicoutimi to discharge a cargo of coals for the Lake St.John Railway.Nothing to provoke suspicion occurred until a few days since, when Preventive Officer Blair, at Chicou.timi thought that everything was not all right and, sending for Mr.Dubé of River du Loup, placed the vessel under arrest and under guard.It appears that she came from Miquelon and that her manifest shows that she cleared with 125 tons of coal, twenty-five tons of old metal, $800 worth of furs, two puncheons of gin and forty-one cases of the same liquor regularly consigned to a Quebec hotel-keeper named Dallaire.All the papers appear to be correct, and the cap tain claims that it was his intention to regularly pass the entry for the liquor at the Quebec Customs after he had discharged his coal cargo at Chicoutimi.On the other hand, it is alleged that in addition to her legitimate cargo, the \u2018Ste.Anne\u2019 had a large quantity of smuggled liquor on board, but that it was successfully run ashore by the smugglers before Mr.Blair got wind of what was up.This suspicion seems to be confirmed by the statement that there is on board a young man named Mathieu who is given out as having acted as a sort of clerk to the captain during the voyage, but who is now said to have only joined the schooner on her arrival at Chicoutimi, whither he went by the Saguenay boat from Quebec.WILL FIGHT FOR THE CONTRACT.The \u2018 Fvenement\u2019 announces that its publishers, in whose favor the contract for the printing of the \u2018 Official Gazette\u2019 was renewed by the ex-Flynn Government shortly before its retirement from office, intend to contest before the law courts the action of the Marchand Government in annulling the renewal and giving the contract to the \u2018 Soleil.\u2019 NOTES.An action for $10,000 damages has been entered against the \u2018Soleil\u2019 Publishing Company for publishing an article, which Mr.W.D.C.Morency of Levis protests against as a libel upon his invention, Lnown as the Morency apparatus for the production of acetylene gas.Sir Alfred Jephson, son-in-law of Mr.Archibald Campbell, one of the Quebec prothonotaries, has written as follows to > a < THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS, Mr.Campbell: \u2014* Sir Wilfrid Laurier has been the very centre second figure of im- terest during the jubilee festivities, next only to the Queen.It is curious how quickly the people recognized, not only his personality, but the importance of his stay here, to the country generally.He was recognized and cheered everywhere, and must have felt extremely gratified.\u2019 Mr.John Barry, of the Commercial Hotel, 8t.Peter street, while cleaning the brass railing of his counter, had the misfortune to scratch his right hand.The wound seemed trifling, but mext day it began to swell, and now serious consequences are feared.The city\u2019s health was never better than at present, there being only a f cases of scarlet fever amd measles reported.Ten men were more or less seriously injured this week near Chicoutimi by the fall of a scaffolding on which they were working.me THE FIRE RECORD.St.Albans, Vt., July 17.\u2014The Welden House, one of the best appointed hostel ries in New England, was burned late last night.A number of guests were unable to secure any of their property, the value of which is estimated at $10,- 000, making the entire loss $35,000.Quebec, July 18.\u2014Last night, shortly after nine o'clock, fire broke out in the confectionery establishment of Mr.Ruthven, on St.John street.The store was pretty well wrecked by fire, smoke and water, and the stock was ruined.The house over the store, occupied by Mrs.Hunter and used as a boarding house, was also injured.Toronto, July 18.\u2014The fire losses in (Canada for the past six weeks show increased insurance losses, but a slight decrease in fire losses.Insurance losses were $2,611,480, and fire losses $3,668,640.LACHINE LIBERALS.A demonstration was held at Lachine on Saturday by the

A strange thing had come to pass in the life homas Blades, jr.He had commenced to think, and, I assure you, it was an entirely new experience to him.His thinking was occasioned by overhearing the prayer of his mother, as she went to her bed in the next room to his.I think it was the first time he had ever heard her pray, for he was usually out of the (house, at school, or fishing, or playing ball, except when at meals or asteop.It may be, too, that Mrs.Blades did not often pray, though I think she did.Most mothers do, in one way or another.Her prayer on this occasion was a very simple one.It was the burden an anxious heart and an overworked frame.\u2018O God, hear the prayer of the weak and send me help lest I die, and then what will become of my Tommy, my George, and my baby Nell ?\u2019 Then it was that Thomas began to think, and while he was thinking he thought of a great mkay things he had not thought of béfore.He remembered how pale his mother usually was now.She was not so before his father went away \u2018 back East\u2019 to find work.Then came the news of his death by an accident; and soon they moved, and the next spring the flood carried off the little California home where they had lived so long.Ilis mother had never seemed the same since.Tommy remembered, too, that he very much disliked to bring in water and wood, to run on errands, and to make himself generally useful.He had even boasted the day before at school that he \u2018usually forgot to work.\u201d Whereupon had been man enough to say: \u2018 Why, I always try to help my mother all I can\u2019 And another, the Dbliggest, strongest, bravest boy in school, and Tommy's special admiration, had said : \u2018I should be ashamed to have my mother looking as tired and worn as yours does, Thomas Blades.\u2019 Tommy's thinking occurred at night.which commenced to take effect the next morning.It got Tommy up early\u2014early enough to build the fire and bring in wocd and water for the day.It even led him to suggest ways in which his mother's work might Le made lighter.\u2018Îf 1 were you, mother,\u201d he said, \u20181 wouldn't make pies to-day.\u2019 Tommy eaid it somewhat sheepishly, 1 fear, for it was very new work for him ~ ADVERTISEMENTS.i TOUR FOOD Your Strength\u2014It ts If well digested.If your atomach is not doing its duty try K.D.C.Thee is nota gerson suffering from Indigestion that it won't help\u2014that it won't give more life and comfort to.K.1D.C.fills are splendid for the Liver and Bowels.Th-y cure Constipation when taken with K.D.C.HIGHEST ENDORSEMENT Frec Sample K.D.C.and K.D.C.Pills if you wish, K.D.C, Company.Limited, New Glasgow, N.2, and 127 State Êt., Boston, Mass.ustrations for Books, Catalogues Circulars, Advertisements, &c.Half-Tone Ktchings, Equal to the best produced, at 1 BG per square inch, Minimum for any single Half-tone Etching, $1 50.Vignetting extra.SPECIAL RATES for Large Quantities, Lime Ktonines, GC per square inch.Minimum for any single Étohing, 80c¢.rawing if required, extra.SPECIAL RATES for Large Quantities.DESIGNING, ELECTROTYPING, STEREOTYPING, ec.e 8 JOHN DOUGALL & SON, vw ITNESS® PRINTING HOUSE, Corner Craig and Bleury Sts.Plants!

The Rev.Gelson Gregson said at a recent Glasgow convention : \u2018 Some years ago I was sitting in my study in Ply- môuth, when the door opened and a ycung mill girl, one of my own congregation, was ushered in.* Sir,\u201d she said, \u201cI have come to tell you that I have just received a baptism of the Holy Spirit.\u201d \u201c How do you know ¥\u2019 I asked in some surprise, for she was one of the last from whom 1 would have expected to hear that.She was one of those calm, impaseive people, whom I had thought one of the must flinty Christians in the congregation.\u201cHow do you know ?What did the Holy Bpirit say to you ?\u201d I asked, thinking she would say something extravagant or of a strange and improbable nature.But no.\u201cSir,\u201d she replied, \u201cThe first thing the Spirit tcld me to do was to take my Testament, go down to the mill and there tell those around me about Christ and the wondrous salvation he had purchaged for every sinner who would take advantage of it.\u201d And that was plainly the work to which that girl had been called, and she still continues teaching in the mill in which she labors for her daily bread; and God is abundantly blessing her efforts for his glory and the advancement of his kingdom.\u2019 ADVERTISEMENTS.] Are You Nervous?H Horsford\u2019s Acid Phosphate Ÿ Quiets the nerves and induces sleep, A POSITIVE CURE FOR SWEATY FEET, SORE FEET, SOUR FEET, BAD SMELLING FEET.TENDER FEET, TIRED FEET, SWOLLEN FEET.Do not be put off by something Just as good.\u201d that will do your feet more harm than good.harmless, and gives immediate results.Physicians and Nurses recommend FOOT ELM because it is perfectly Some articles give dealers larger profits, but it youn dealer does not give you FOOT ELLM when you ask for 1t, send us 25 cents in stamps or stlver and we will mail it post paid.STOTT JURY, Bowmanville, Ont.nds Gun A CA Ca ' hE) Ea RINGEXTRACTS RENAE Ail PIT Babies Die In nine cases out of ten because of improper feeding In nine cases out of ten babies under a year old are fed on cow\u2019s milk in one form or another.The use of cow's milk is fraught with dan- er.Your doctor will confirm this statement There is a food for babies which does not require the addition of cow's milk\u2014a food possessing special value in hot weather\u2014a À food which saves thousands of infants\u2019 lives every year.It requires the addition of water only.It is NESTLE'S FOOD.A sample can of Nestle\u2019s Food will be sent on application.SO LEEMING, MILES & CO., SOLE AGENTS, 58 St.Sulpice Strect, Montreal.That is why the water in the Big Swim at the Laurentian is always so pure, clear and clean.50,000 gallons of pure Laurentian Water direct from the Spring flows through it every day-ALWAYS OPEN.LADIES\u2019 DA YS\u2014 Monday Morning and Wednesday Afternoon.LAURENTIAN BATHS Cor.Craig and Beaudry sts.© SE undersigned aad endorged \u2018Tender for Sewers,\u2019 will be received at the office of the City Clerk, City Hall, until noon on WEDNESDAY, the 21st instant, for the construction of sewers in the undermentioned streets or sections of streets, with the ne- cossary connections, according to the sections and specifications on view In the office of the undersigned, vis.: Anderson street, from Juror street to La- gauchetiere street.Chambord street, from Mount Royal ave- pue northward, Lagauchetlore street, from St.Monique street, to Bt.Genevieve street.Sydenham street, from Marie Anne street northward, The lowest or any tender will not necessarily be accepted.The Committee reserve the right of accepting tenders for one or more sewers.TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that it is proposed to construct the above mentioned sewers during the present season, and proprietors in the said streets, or sections of streets, may avall themselves of the opportunity to have drains made from thelr properties into the sald public sewers in conformity with sections 8, 4, 6, 10 and 14 of by-law No.191 concerning sewers; and proprietors in the sald streets or sections of streets: who fail to have drains made from their properties to the public sewer while it is under construction and require drains to be constructed fn ihe street after the public sewer has buen completed, wi be charged an additional sum for said drains and restoring the macadam or permanent pavement.°° Proprietors who may have -clainis for an wxisting brick or tlle pipe sewer in sald strésts or sections of streets, are hereby notified that such cleims must be filed with the City Surveyor within two months after the completion of the row sewers or sections of sewers, (By order), PERCIVAL W.ST.GEORGE, City Surveyor.City Surveyor\u2019s Office, City Hall, Montreal, 16th July, 1897.OTHS!

BEGAN TO-DAY WITH EVERY CANADIAN EXTERED.Toronto, July 19.\u2014The following is the \u2018Mail and Empire's\u2019 special Bisley camp cable :\u2014The second and deciding stage of the \u2018Imperial\u2019 was shot off today.The scoring continues to be of a high order, but the Canadians are holding up their end very well.The \u2018Imperial\u2019 is shot in two stages, the first being the 200, 500 and 600 yards ranges, five shots at each range.The second stage is the 800 yards range, ten shots.The highest possible aggregate is 155.Some idea of the phenomenal nature of the shooting may be gained when it is stated: that Captain Windatt, of the Canadian team, with an aggregate of 141 out of a possible mentioned, could only get thir teenth place.Ilis prize was five pounds in cash and a gold medal.Other Canadian prize-winners were Gunner Miller, 5th R.C.A., who secured a bronze medal and three pounds cash.He tied with Winterford, a crack shot from Queens land for twenty-first place.The firing off of this tie was the most exciting incident witnessed at the ranges to-day.Miller started out with a \u2018magpie,\u2019 to which his opponent responded with an inner.The Canadian\u2019s second shot was a bull, dead on; Winterford followed suit.Then Miller put on another bull\u2019s eye, and the Queenslander missed the target altogether, so that the tie by shots read :\u2014Miller : 8, 5, 5 ; total, 13 ; Winterford : 4, 5, 0; total, 9.Col.- Sergt.Skedden, 13th Battalion, fifty- third place ; Sergt.Broadhurst, Royal Scots, fifty-seventh place ; Btaff-Sergt- Smith, 59th Battalion, eighty-fifth place; Bergt.Drysdale, Prince of Wales Rifles, ninety-first place, and Captain Davidson, 8th Royal Rifles, ninety-ninth place.Each got prizes of two pounds cash in the \u2018Imperial.\u2019 The standing of the Canadians in the \u2018Imperial\u2019 won for them rich prizes in the \u2018Indian and Colonial commemoration.\u2019 The prizes in this are given to the competitors of the Indian and colonial regulars, militia or volunteers, or native Indian army, who make the highest aggregate in the \u2018Imperial\u2019 The Canadian prize-winners were as follows :\u2014Corporal Windatt, first prize, twenty-five pounds cash ; third, Gunner Miller, ten pounds ; sixth, seventh, tenth and twelfth prizes, of five pounds each, won by Col.-Sergt.Skedden, Sergt.Broadhurst, Staff-Sergt.Smith and Sergt- Drysdale respectively.Shooting commenced in the \u2018Dewar\u2019 today.This 18 an unlimited entry contest, closing on Tuesday next.The range is 500 yards, number of shots seven.Lieut.King and Sergt.Blair each scored 3 out of a possible 35 in this contest.King's sighting shot was a \u2018bull,\u2019 dead on.His first on score was an inner to the right of the bull and somewhat low.His remaining shots were all dead on, so that his score by shots read : 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5\u201434.Blair started out with a sighting shot dead on.His first four \u2018on score\u2019, were all bull\u2019s eyes.His fifth was inner, to the left of the bull, and his last two were dead on, his score by shots reading : 5, à, 5, 5, 4, 5, 5\u201434.Later\u2014\u2018H.R.H.the Prince of Wales\u2019 match was decided to-day.The ranges in this match are the 200 and 600 yards, ten shots at each, making the highest possible aggregate 100.The first prize of one hundred pounds and the N.R.A.badge was won by Wattleworth, 2nd Liverpool Battalion Volunteers, with the magnificent aggregate of 96.The Canadians shot well in this contest, which is open only to winmers of N.R.A.medals.The keenness of the match was attested by the fact that Lieut.Ross, 13th Battalion, with a score of 94, only two points behind the winder, had to be content with fifth prize of five pounds cash.At the 600 yards range Ross\u2019s sighting shot was a bull, dead on.His first to fourth \u2018on score\u2019 all found the centre disc.On his fifth on score he made an inner to the right of the bull, and a little low.His remaining five shots were all dead on, so that his score read : 5, 5, 5, 5, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5\u201449.At the 200 vards range his score was 45, so that his aggregate was as stated.Sergt.Corri- gan, 58th Battalion, with a similar aggregate (94) won ninth prize of five pounds.Lieut.King, with an aggregate of 93, won twenty-third prize of three pounds, and Pte.Swain, 14th Battalion, made an aggregate of 91, and captured sixtieth prize of two pounds.Swain scored 44 at the 200 yards range, and made a fine 47 at 600 vards.At the latter range his sighting shot was an inner below the bull and to the right.His first and second \u2018on score\u2019 were dead on.His third was an inner to the left.His fourth an inner over the bull and to the right.he put on four bulls.His next shot was an inner below the bull and to the right, and his last dead on, so that his score by shots read : 5,5, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 4, 5\u201447.Gupner Miller, 5th Royal Canadian Artillery, did not do very well at the 200 yards range, but his score at G00 yards was a beauty, although he started out badly.His first \u2018on score\u2019 was an outer, on the edge of the target below and to the left of the bull.His remaining nine shots were all dead on.his score at this range therefore reading : 2, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 547.Staff-Sergt.Marks, 6th Fusiliers, also made a good score at this range.He started out with a \u2018magpie\u2019 to the right of the bull.His next seven shots were all dead on.His eighth was an inner to the right, and his last a bull.His score by shots read : 3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 3, 4, 5\u201447.The aggregate of Miller and Marks did not secure prizes.No less than thirteen scores of 91 were counted out.A light rain fell during the shooting at the 200 yards range in this contest.- The total amount of prize money won by Canadians thus far is a hundred and twenty pounds.Shooting fur the Queen\u2019s prize commences on Monday.All the Canadians are entered.The ranges on Monday are the 200 and 500 yards ; om Tuesday 600 yards.The three hundred highest aggregate scorers at this stage shoot in the final stage on Thursday.All the Canadians are well.In the competition to-day for the Elcho challenge shield, England won, with a score of 1,603.The competition is open to one team of eight from England, Scotland, Ireland and \u2018Wales respectively, with the distances of 800, 800 and 1,000 yards (aggregate), and fifteen shots at each distance.The weapons are match rifles, and no sighting shots are allowed.À silver miniature shield is presented by the National Rifle Association to each member of the winning team, to its cap- tein and its adjutant.Toronto, July 19.\u2014The \u2018Mail and Empire's\u2019 Bisley cable, dated July 18, says: The funeral of Major Perley of Ottawa, who died here on Thursday night last, took place this afternoon with military henors.The following were the pallbearers :\u2014Majors Mason, Dunbar and Henderson (Canada), Woodhead (Cape), Hamilton (Queensland), Somerville (New Zealand).The members of the Canadian team in attendance at the National Rifle Association meet formed for the firing party.The body was conveyed to Bisley churchyard, where it was interred, on a gun carriage, the coffin being draped with a large Canadian flag.All the colonials at the camp and hundreds of British regulars and volunteers followed the body to the churchyard, and remained to the close of the service.The flags on the various colonies and dependencies and of the British

SHERMAN EPISODE.London, July 17.\u2014The report, cabled on Thursday, that an international conference on the seal controversy would be held at Washington in the autumn is confirmed by an official paragraph issued to-day by the British authorities, which will be printed here to-morrow.The statement says :\u2014' The publication of an isolated old despatch, which has been duly replied to, much as it may be re gretted, has not retarded the progress of the negotiations in London.As there seems, however, to be some misapprehension on the subject, it should be pointed out that in the communications now passing there is no question of altering the regulations now! in force in the Behring Sea, or of imposing fresh restrictions.Mr.John W.Foster, on behaif of the United States Government, is urging that the experts representing the governments interested, should meet and compare the results of their investiga ticns with a view of arriving at an agreed state of facts.That is the sole object of the proposed meeting.Any idea that this conference will deal with the question of revising the regulations is entirely misleading.Conferences between the rerresentatives of the United States, Canada and the foreign and colonial officers are proceeding almost daily.New York, July 18.\u2014Mr.Harold Frederic, in his special cablegram from London to the New York \u2018 Times,\u201d refers to the discussion over Secretary Sherman\u2019s note on the sealing question, and with respect thereto says: \u2018It is impossible, indeed, for Americans to extract either pride or comfort from the episode ; for even those best disposed to us can only plead that American diplomacy often ignorantly says much louder and more truculent things than it means.\u2019 The correspondent of the Associated Press ascertains on enquiry at the United States Embassy to-day that Mr.Whitelaw Reid was not consulted with i regard to the publication of Secretary Sherman\u2019s despatch on the sealing question, and that he bad no knowledge whatever of the document until he saw Then | jt in print.London, July 19.\u2014A letter appears in the \u2018Times\u2019 this morning calling attention to the fact that all the bellicose wrath of the United States is devoted to the protection of a few astute English capitalists who profit hugely from government leases of the Pribyloff Islands ; while pelagic sealing is the only hope of American citizens living by marine industry on the Pacific slopes.London, July 18.\u2014The weekly papers take virtually the same view as the dail ies with reference to Secretary Sherman\u2019s despatch on the sealing question.The \u2018Epectator\u2019 says :\u2014\u2018 He scolds the British Government as if minjsters were a set of mean, underband, thieving scoundrels.It is absolutely essential that Lord Salisbury should refuse to consider the question in any shape until he has received an apology for such wanton imputations.\u2019 The \u2018Speaker\u2019 says\u2014\u2018 Mr.Sherman is an old man.We hope for his sake that the despatch was, drafted by some subordinate, who wag for the time being oppressed by the heat.Its language is quite strong enough to justify a suspension of all diplomatic relations if that were worth while.\u2019 The \u2018Morning Post,\u2019 editorially suggesting that the time would come when & Certain class of Americans would forze | war, represents the true conviction of a mejority of English people, who firmly believe that the United States is seeking a war with Great Britain.An interesting correspondence concerning this matter appears in the \u2018 Morning Post.\u201d One correspondent says :\u2014 \u2018 People here look with a certain amount of contempt upon American pretenses, for they are convinced that the republic is a mosaic which could not stand a heavy shock from the outside.They are confident that in ease of emergency England would do all that was necessary.Let me say, as one who knows the Americans well, that they are not moved by any considerations of kindred, as is so often falsely asserted in our press, on the authority of some few atragglers among us whose policy is to enter society and to be considered fashionable.These people form only a microscopic rrinority among their countrymen, and have neither influence nor ability to make their ideas prevail at home.The moment for action will not be four years hence, it is now.The American navy is fast growing and its increase will make the task Imposing.The longer it is postponed the more difficult it will be.\u2019 Another correspondent says :\u2014\u2018History repeats itself.We should at once find that, as in 1812, our cruisers, though more numerous, would be relatively inferior for offensive and defensive operations against those opposed to them.Moreover, as regards familiarity in the nse of high explosives, both at sea and on shore, we are not In it with the Americans.It seems to me that we are rapidly approaching a crisis in our history which will decide once for all our existence as an empire.\u2019 \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE WAR ON DEPARTMENTAL STORES.TORONTO RETAIL MERCHANTS PREPARING FOR AN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN AGAINST THEM.Toronto, July 18.\u2014Retail are preparing for an active campaign against departmental stores.\u2018 They say the departmental stores are crushing out, by unfair competition, the specialist merchants throughout the city, and subjecting them and property owners to great loss and distress, and are concentrating the retail trade and commerce of the city into the control of a very few persons, preventing the general circulation of the currency, and causing the central business district of the city to become yearly more and more congested, real estate values in this district being enormously enhanced, while values and rentals of other properties in other sections of the city are being destroyed.The closing of many smaller stores deprives persons of employment and has a tendency to reduce the wages of thoee employed in departmental stores.The retailers intend to ask the City Council to seek legislation in the next session of the legislature to tax, license and regulate department stores, together with such general provisions as may be deemed necessary to remove, as far as possible, the evils complained of.The plan now proposed is what is known as the turnover tax, that is a tax of whatever amount may be decided upon on the actual turnover of business, no matter how many or how few lines of business may be carried on.In practice this means à comparatively small tax on a business turnover up to, say five thousand dollars, but on very large turnovers up to a hundred or two hundred thousand dollars, the tax would be very heavy, and would practically make it impossible for department stores to do business in many of the lines in which the profit is small and depending on the large amount turned over.This, it is also claimed, is a matter in which the country is interested as well as the city, as the departmental stores, by reason of the large mail order business they do, are injuring the business of small dealers at all points.One store in Toronto alone sends six large vans of mail matter to the post-office dally, filling orders for patrons from the Pacific to the Atlantic.re THE LOSS OF THE \u201cGANGUT.London, July 18.\u2014A big scandal is likely to develop over the recent sinking of the Russian warship \u2018Gangut.\u201d No trace of the rock on which she is supposed to have struck can be found.It is now openly charged that her loss is placeable to official speculation resulting in faulty workmanship.The divers found that the plates had parted amidships for a distance of forty feet along the line of rivets, half way between the keel and the curve in the vessel's side.The plates were neither bent nor twisted.The edges of the fissure, which was from nine to eighteen inches in width, were found to be quite clean.It is believed that the firing of guns started the rivets.merchants SULTAN WILL SUBMIT.GERMANY\u2019S REFUSAL TO AID HIM MAY RESULT IN HIS SUBMIS- MISSION TO THE POWERS.FRENCH CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES APPROVES THE GOVERNMENT'S EASTERN POLICY.Constantinople, July 18.\u2014At Saturday\u2019s sitting of the peace conference, Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish minister of foreign affairs, arrived late.He submitted to the conference a new frontier scheme, which was unacceptable to the powers, and the ambassadors thereupon informed Tewfik that the conference would adjourn until he brought a writ- ter acceptance by his government of the frontier line traced by the military attaches.It had been arranged that the Turkish military commission should meet the European military attaches at nine a.m.yesterday at Tophane, but the Turks failed to keep the appointment.The ambasaa- dors assembled at ten a.m., but finding that Tewfik Pasha did not come, adjourned to the Austrian embassy, where Tewfik presented himself at noon, with the excuse that the Sultan had detained him at the military commission at the Yildiz Kiosk.Tewfik explained that the Sultan had appointed Marshals Zekki Pasha and Saad-ed-Din Pasha as new military delegates to negotiate peace.The ambassadors unanimously and positively declined to discuss questions at issue with anybody except Tewfik Pasha.Although the orders recently issued have been countermanded, fifteen thousand troops are held in readiness to start for the island of Crete at the shortest notice.Constantinople, July 17.\u2014The announcement by Tewfik Pasha to the ambassadors yesterday that the Sultan had agreed to the principle of their demand and was prepared to accept their views on the conditions of peace, was due to a message sent prior to the meeting, to the effect that if the Porte had not previously replied satisfactorily, the ambassadors would adopt an important decision with regard to their attitude toward Turkey.Tewfik Pasha turned up at the last moment and announced that he had been in- strected to accept the proposals of the powers.This change of front is now understood to be the result of the acticn of Germany.The reply of the Emperor William to the Sultan's personal appeal wap ambiguous, and had induced him to believe that Germany would support him.When, however, Germany found the owers were resolved on coercion, the (Emperor William, desiring to prevent {.duch an eventuality, instructed his\u201d am- \u2018basgadlor to go to the palace and slate dis- tinetly that the Turkish Government must conform absolutely to the decision of the powers.Paris, July 17.\u2014The Chamber of Deputies to-day, by a vote of 334 to 114, voted confidence in the government's Eastern policy.After M.Hanotaux had replied to criticisms from M.Goblet, who had censured the weak policy of the powers and had declared that Germany was gaining prestige in the East at the expense of France, he said that the situation was improving daily, that the question of indemnity was almost settled, and that the question of the delimitation of the frontier was on the eve of settlement.M.Meline, the premier, also defended the policy of the government, urging that collective action between the powers was the only thing possible, and that any support given to Greece would lead her to declare war to Turkev behind which stood Germany.He added that Germany herself had recently urged the Sultan energetically to submit to the will of the powers.\u2018Peace,\u2019 said M.Meline, \u2018is now probable.It will be certain if the concert is maintained.\u2019 Canea, Island of Crete, July 17.\u2014In consequence of the increasing turbulence of the Mussulmans and the almost incessant outbreaks and disorders, the admirals of the international fleet have issued a proclamation admonishing the Mussul- mans and announcing that if a single European soldier is harmea they will bombard the town.THE SULTAN.New York, July 18.\u2014Mr.Harold Frederic cables to the \u2018Times\u2019 to-day from London, the following :\u2014*\u2018A curious light is thrown on the Sultan and his surroundings in the new number of the \u2018Quarterly Review\u2019 by one who evidently has an inward knowledge of Eastern affairs.I have myself heard similar things from men brought into close contact with the Sultan, but it will astonish many, who only know of Abdul Hamid as \u2018the great assassin,\u201d to be told by those personally acquainted with him that they agree in describing him as remarkably gentle, polite and amiable.Indeed, one experienced French diplomatist speaks of him as a prince whose heart is always open to every generous sentiment, and he is so well able to gain the confidence of the clever men of the world that the present French Minister of Foreign Affairs, in a famous essay in the \u2018Revue de Paris,\u2019 did all he knew how to excuse and defend some of the Sultan's worst acts.His morals are, they say, irreproachable, and they arc puzzled to find an explanation of zo mild-mannered a man cutting go many throats.\u2019 \u201cThe \u2018Review\u2019 writer comes to the conclusion that the Sultan is dominated by terror to such an extent as to have entirely lost his balance and his reason.He who in the early days would allow no life, even of the vilest criminal, to be sassination into a shrinking tyrant, who is urged on by the fanatical dervish, Abeul Houda, now his counsellor, and his conscience as well, and sends without pity thousands to their doom.\u2019 Then follows a grave forecast of what has been lately prophesied by other observers on the spot, namely, that a fresh series of massacres is in contemplation, but that Macedonia, and not Armenia, is to be the scene of*slaughter on this occasion.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS.Washington, D.C., July 17.\u2014The President has nominated Terence V.Powderly of Pennsylvania to be

Seattle, Wash, July 18.\u2014Sixty-eight passengers on the North American Transportation & Trading Company's steamship \u2018 Portland\u2019 reached Seattle and civilization this morning at nine o'clock, direct from St.Michael's, at the mouth of the Yukon river, in Alaska.\u2018The pass:ngers were mostly miners, and they came direct from the Klondike placer mining districts.The men brought back one and one-half tons of gold in nuggets and dust.It is worth in round numbers a million dollars.From San Francisco to the furthermost point in Alaska the coast is wild with the excitement growing out of the fabulous finds in the Kiondike, which is a river emptying into the Yukon, in the Northwest Territory.It is tifty miles by river from Forty Mile, on the Alaska boundary, to the scene of the recent finds, and about forty miles in a straight line.The discoverer où the Klondike placer diggings was (George McCormack, a poor miner, who was known as \u2018Siwash George.\u201d The first claim was staked on Bonanza Creek, emptying into the Klondike, on Aug.17 last.Since that time four hundred claims have been located, and the population of the camp has grown from nothing to four thousand.Reliable estimates made by Canadian officers and experienced miners give the possible output of the district during the next five years at over ten millions.Among those holding and working claims are C.Anderson, British Columbia ; Richard Blake, Dungeness, C.B.; William Sloane, Nanaimo, B.C.; John Wilkinson, Nanaimo, B.C.; Patrick Cote- land and Joseph Casault, Montreal.Among the passengers on the \u201c Port land \u2019 was Joseph Kellert.In speaking of the new country he said : \u2018It was sixty-eight degrees below zero last winter, and the ground was frozen to the depth of forty feet.The snow does not fall to any great depth, three feet being the greatest, and that was light and fleecy.All the gold is taken out cf gravel by thawing in the summer.There are nine months of winter.We left Dawson City on a river steamer on June 19 and were eight days reaching St.Michoel\u2019s, eighteen hundred miles.The weather in Klondike was warm and sultry, much warmer than it seemed, and mosquitoes were in myriads.They are in the water one drinks.They give a man no rest day or night.\u2018It is a hor rikle country to live in, but it is extremely healthy.\u2019 : Another one of the passengers was Joseph Casault, a French-Canadian from Montreal.He went to the Yukon.in 1886.He returned to-day with fifteen thousand dollars, which he made in six weeks.Ile sold out his claim, after taking out five thousand dollars in nuggets.His health had given way under the long strain of hardshin in Alaska winters.\u2018I'm going home to rest a while,\u201d he said.\u2018I came out fo keep from dying in the camp.If I get weil I may go back.\u2019 Casault\u2019s wealth was packed in sinall brekskin sacks like the others, and he carried it with him from the steamer to the hotel.The regular Alaska steamer, sailing tomorrow from Seattle, has all her rooms engaged, mostly by men for Klondike.The \u2018 Portland,\u2019 making a return trip en July 20, is engaged aliead, and booking

PIONEER\u2019S STORY.FOLLOWING AN ATTACK OF LA GRIPPE HE SUFFERED DAY AND NIGHT FOR FOUR YEARS \u2014 A WELL KNOWN CLERGYMAN ENDORSES HIS STATE- MINTS.(From the \u2018 Record,\u201d Windsor, Ont.) Among the residents of Kingsville, Ont, none is held in higher esteciu than Mr.James Lovelace, who is known not only in town, but to many throughout Essex County.When a correspondent of the \u2018Record\u2019 called upon hin and asked him to verify certain state ments as to his cure from a painful malady after several years of suffering, he cheerfully did so.Mr.Lovelace said : Four years ago I had a bad attack of la grippe, which left me with a severe pain in the pit of my stomach.After trying household remedies and getting no relief, I consulted a doctor, but after a long treatment which did not help me, I became discouraged and concluded there was no relief for me.Night and day fpr four years that pain never left me.At times it was so bad that I had to give up work.I had frequently read of Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills and perhaps as much out of curiosity as with any hope that they would help me, I bought a box.I followed the directions carefully, and by the time the bax waa finished I was surprised to find that I was getting relief.I could not understand how, after all the medicine I had pre viously tried had failed, this one box of Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills should help me.I now cheerfully continued their use and by the time I had taken five boxes every trace of pain had left me and I felt as well ag ever I had done in my life.Today I am as sound as a dollar and te lieve there is no man of my age in Essex county who can stand a harder day's work.The Rev.R.D.Herrington, Baptist minister at Kingsville, says: \u2018 Having known Mr.James Lovelace for the past thirty yeart, I believe the above statements made by him to be strictly true.I might also say that I have been greatlv benefited myself by the use of Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills.\u2019 PROFESSOR OF ZOOLOGY FOR MceGILIL.The Board of Governors of McGill University, at a special meeting held on Saturday last, appointed Mr.Ernest William MacBride, M.A., (Cantab.), B.Sc.(Lond.), Fellow of St.John\u2019s College, Cambridge, to the chair of zoology lately founded by Sir Donald Smith.Mr.Mac Bride is a native of Belfast, Ireland, and entered : St.John\u2019s College, Cambridge, in 1888, being the holder of an entrance exhibition.He obtained the degree of Bachelor of Science at London Univer sity, with first-class honors in Zoology, being also awarded the university scholarship in that subject.In 1890 he took a first-class in Part I.of the Cambridge natural science tripos, and was elected 10 a foundation scholarship in St.John's College; in 1891 he was awarded a first: class both in botany and zoology 1n Part II.of the natural science tripos, and was nominated by the university 10 occupy their table at the celebrated zoo logical station at Naples.In 1892 he was awarded the Hutchinson post-graduate studentship for re search, and was appointed university de monstrator in the zoological laboratory of Cambridge University, commencing at the same time investigations of an extended character, for which he was in 1895 awarded the Walsingham medal and elected fellow of St.John's College.For the past five years he has Leen senior demonstrator in the zoological la boratory at Cambridge, and for the last three has had the entire responsibility for the management of the laboratory.Professor MacBride, who will assume his new duties in September next, is tie author of several important papers on zoology and its kindred sciences.mp FUNERAL OF MR.D.GRANT.The funeral of Mr.David Grant took place on Saturday afternoon from his late residence at 593 Sanguinet street.The funeral services, which were held at the house, were conducted by Mr.W.W.Robertson, of the Church of the Advent, of which connection Mr.Grant was a member.The chief mourners were the four sons of the deceased, Messrs.Alexander Grant, John Grant, Andrew Grant and David Grant.A large number of the Orange Order and personal friends of the deceased were in attendance, amongst whom were:\u2014Meesrs.Fred Hamilton, James Knox, William Clendrmneng, ex county master;

which gives to ignorance and vice a greater potency than intelligence and virtue; can command; which deprives the \u2018poor of the advantages of modern progress; which debauches and degrades millions, brutalizing and soddening them below the plane of healthy savagery, and filling the centres of population with creatures whose condition almost excuses the immorality which renders them dangerous to their generation.\u2019 PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.Mr.Beecher, in the exciting days of anti-slavery discussion, often declared that every American citizen who had not exhausted all his prerogatives as a citizen in protesting against slavery, was himself responsible for slavery.We paraphrase Mr.Beecher\u2019s statement, and affirm that every citizen who does not by all the means at his command, place himself in an attitude of uncompromising hostility to the liquor traffic, is himself morally accountable for the continuance of the destructive business.Whatever may be said as tothe beginning of the present liquor system, no man denies that its continued existence is, by the grace and favor of the voting citizen.Against his protest it cannot continue.When a majority so decree, the saloon will be an outlaw.That it is not such already, is because a majority of our voters consent that it shall have the moral and legal support of the government, state and national.Every man who votes with a political party whose policy provides for the perpetuation of the saloqn, is morally guilty of having given his express consent to the continuance of this tremendous enginery of destruction.I do not assert every man that so votes is at heart the friend of the saloon, but do affirm that each such voter gives his endorsement to the present order of things.He may give that endorsement, (1) gladly, (2) indifferently, or (3) reluctantly and - .there can be no peace, and no -ces- - \u2018of hostilities without destroying ~ +.lamaging the Church and disgrac- 1 2 The cause of Christ.A FINANCIAL ISSUE.I: the liquor traffic were entirely free J» = moral turpitude, if it wrought not \u2018mv 15 personal character, if it de- so «i the morals of no citizen, if it re rhe heart of no women and blight- +.tne life of no child it nevertheless jresents us a financial problem of as \u201c nshing magnitude.Wien we consider the drink traffic as an 1thsorter of wealth, a paralysis upon \"sirv, alike the foe of capital and the rey of labor, it constitutes a financial ar : :ndustral Issue of such magnitude as +» dwart into insignificance most of ©» other financial questions of the day.Arms the traffic we charge: !.That ir creates no wealth.2 Thar i's so-called values are ficti- TENS mer peal 2 That it causes increased taxatlon.i Tia it decreases the productive \u20ac 2 A cmstmers.\u201cTv the vast army of men employ- ©.the Various branches of the traffic im onsen clothed and fed, doctored in \u201csoared decently buried after they 7 lead.without having rendered so- Te slghiest return service of real Jt + asserted that men grow stay nm the business, hence it must cs producing.So may a burglar, 3 ort a pickpocket, a thief grow wo le them, the saloonkeeper soda pve from his victim and vie thing as an equivalent.co noe Loran fle were annihilated, Leo its patrons might, + contributions, support DOTT ester, brewer and bar-tender in * 4êtess, and the country be wes the runer by the change.PCT ga Ein producing a value- contribute to the poire Tage CUT ae nt 4 [rise thongh indulgence in a ood nny render such energy +7 \u201cose so employed.The E ds sin smnandered for drink 2e 1 \u2018kr! où rew life and the \u201ctv into every honorable \u201cre t diverted from the chan- 1 nr flows.A MORAL ISSUE.ce, + «rae as a question of morals dun that the chureh is interne proper treatment of the Mo nian who wishes well to his tw Christian, no good citizen os eves to the destructive the drinx traffic as it af- © private hie or public morals.\"= A = ma \u2014 Pan * - Cn.soe ave w - _ - .> .\u2014 \u201ceR svecens \u201d ee .uv.PEU os sos coucetsene SII I See \u2014 \u201cNM rT J av I Nr - \u201c ze.dé Mr.Tarte\u2019s Plan.Only 13 vessels 500 feet long can be docked, with ends of-basins all occupied.Ends of piers free and some spaces for smaller vessels, __ Aan tn Boar Ty A + \u201c\u2026.A.;
