Favored Treaty\u201d Nations.- 4x TE LAW LORDS OF ENGLAND.YXpILY cr THE GERMAN-BELGIAN [REATIES WILL BRING THE DESIRED RFLIEF.Ottawa, Aug.T.\u2014The law officers of the Crenn in England have given a deon the question argued before cig TL them by Sir Louis Davigscas to whether, «ov ~ oo TER Tw the now Canadian tariff, in extending a pr»?\u2014- e to Great Britain, violated the :-, - 78 of the Belgian and German :-at.A They decide that Article 15 cf \u2018> treaty with Belgium, and Article 7 : :Xe treaty with the German Zollverein à epply, and that the preference given rior the Canadian tariff to Great Bri- -in must be extended to Belgium and vermany, and that the excess of duty raid on goods the produce of those countries imported into Canada since April °2, the date the new tariff went into of- ect, must be refunded; and, also, that :ncse nations having a treaty with Great Britain, containing the most favored na- zon clause, are entitled to the same pre- \u2018mence, so long as the treaties with Germany and Belgium are in existence.It \u201clows that as the treaties with Ger- mary and Belgium will terminate on \u2018uiy 30, 1898, that after that date none \u2018! the nations having the most favored nation clause will be entitled.That is, ai the treaties made by other countries containing this clause depend upon the reaties with Belgium and Germany, and \u201chen these treaties cease to exist Can- 11a\u2019s liabilities to admit goods of those ~untries at the same duty as are appli- >1 to British goods, will cease.This was rade plain by a statement of Lord li- \u201cnn, when secretary of state for the co- ales, in acknowledging the resolution of \u2018he Colonial Conference, in 1894, as fol- ws: \u2018The treaties aimed at by this res slution are the commercial treaties be- iween this country and Germrnv, and Relgism.- It 1m te \u2014 \u201chls SD tae 4 ue advantage that might be granted By | frreat Britain to either Belgium or Germany, in virtue of these particular stipu- ations must also be extended to various nther countries under the ordinary most \u2018avored nation clauses in existing trea- \u2018es.If, however, articles 15 of the Bel- sium treaty, and Article 7 of the zollverein treaty were no longer in force there are no stipulations of a similar \u2018haracter in any other treaty concluded ly this country, and now in force, which would give rise to the same difficulties.It seems clear that under these treaties tle British colonies cannot grant the produce of the United Kingdom any preferential treatment as to Customs dutics without such duties being extended also to Belgium and Germany, and through them to other countries, which have ordinary most favored nation clauses with Great Britain.It will be seen from this extract from the speech of Tord Ripon that it is only through the treaties with Belgium and Germany that the other countries having most favored nation clauses with Great Britain become entitled to the preference, and therefore when the treaties with Belgium and Germany are terminated, as they will be terminated on July 30 next, that Canada will be no longer hampered with respect to any nation in the world, and will have a free hand to carry out the pelicy already sanctioned by Parliament.Although France would not be entitled to come in under the French treaty of 1804 alone, she will be entitled to re- celve any tariff concessions granted to any third power, and as Germany, for example, will be a third power, this decision will entitle France to the same preferential treatment as will be granted to Great Britain, so long as the Belgian and (lerman treaties remain in force.The other countries which have the most favored nation treaties with Great Britain are the Argentine Republic, Austria- Hungary, Chili, Colombia, Costa Rica, Russia, Sweden, and Norway, Switzer- Lund, Portugal, Persia, and two or three other countries with which we do no trade at all.C'anada, of course, does lit- t'e or no trade with any of these coun- *ries, except France, Germany and Bel- glum.Last year we imported from ti.ese countries about nine million dol- Lied - THE AMERICAN GOLD

did apply or not.Sir Richard Cartwright put the thing in a nutshell as follows:\u2014\u2018Great Britain may compel us in our capacity of suzerain and hers of a sovereign state to give to Germany and Belgium the same privileges which we offer her, and we may not be able to resist her sovereign will.The hon.gentlemen opposite are greatly exercised as to what we are going to do in case the British Government does not see things exactly as we do.We mean to fight this point bv all legal and constitutional means until we get a decision; and after we have done that, if the decision should go against us, we mean to appeal to the British Government and nation to do us justice, by repealing this clause and denouncing these treaties which should never have been enacted to our manifest detriment.The decision is now known.That appeal has been made.It has been successful, and although Canada will for a period of a few months be obliged to grant the preferential tariff to these other countries the matter will be put beyond ali dispute and adjusted satisfactorily one month after the end of the present fiscal year, when the reduction of twenty-five percent will have been in operation just thirty days.The Canadian consumer can very well stand the reduction of twelve and a half percent until June 30 next, and of twenty-five percent for thirty days thereafter, on goods not only from Great Britain, but from Germany, France and Belgium.A CABINET MEETING.The Cabinet will be called together at an early day, to pass an order-in-council authorizing the Customs Department to act in accordance with this decision.Toremto, Aug.7.\u2014 Mr.Wm.Senior, editor of the \u2018Field,\u2019 London, Eng., arrived in Toronto vesterday moming, and is staying at the Rossin House, \u2018I will write up my impressions of tbe British Association for the Advancement of Science for my paper,\u2019 said Mr.Senior to a \u2018Mail and Empire\u2019 reporter last evening, \u2018and ancther thing I purpose doing while here is to enjoy some fishing.| have always taken an interest in Canada, and particularly in ite sports.I have read everything I could bearing on this country and enjoyed it.Speaking of the trade relations between Canada ard Great Britain, Mr.Senior raid that it was the all-absorbing topic in the political circles of England to-day.The com- ee a ame de Eee one es ren Se de mercial treaties with Germany and Belgium, he said, were repudiated because Canada desired it.Canada, he stated, way the colony that was monopolizing the attention of the English people at the present time.INFANTILE MORTALITY.TEN PERCENT GREATER THAN BIRTHS NEAR ABATTOIR.\u2014_\u2014 Yesterday morning Recorder Larochelle of St.Henri condemned the Western Abattoir Company to pay a fine on two charges made against them by the local council, on account of defective floors and drains.In reporting the case, the * Minerve \u2019 hints that several other actions will be entered against the company, and adds:\u2014\u2018 In the course of yesterday\u2019s proceedings, evidence was given that makes one reflect, namely, that it is reckoned that the number of deaths exceeds the births by ten percent, in the vicinity of the abattoirs.It is more than time that the matter should be attended to in order to prevent the total depopulation of that section.\u2019 me WILL BE HELD NEXT WEEK.Owing to three of the members of the lire Committee being out of town, ard as proper notice was not served upon those who were in the city to attend the meeting of the committee yesterday afternoon, convened to enquire into the proposed purchase of the Lafrance fire engine, it was decided to postpone the enquiry until an early day next week.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 PRESENTATION AT OTTAWA.Ottawa, Aug.7.\u2014The lion.JT.B.Riley, United four vears, left for his home in Platts- burg to-day, his successor, Colonel Turner, having assumed office.Mr.Riley has made himself exceadingly popular here and last evening, in the parlor of the Russell House, he was made the recipient of a very handsome and valuable solid silver dinner service and a gold-headed walking stick, accompanied by an ad dress, which was read by the Hon.R W.Scott, Secretary of State, and suitably responded to.Mrs.Riley was also presented with a handsome diamond ring.States consul here for the last.} | Coan A Wes en teed A SEASON OF EARTHQUAKES.SOME INTERESTING POSSIBILITIES.Toronto, Aug.7.\u2014Is the United States on the verge of a great volcanic upheaval?Recent reports from Mexico indicate an unusually active revival of volcanic phenomena.Some of the largest of the cones are in a stale of eruption, and new volcanoes are forming.Outbursts in New Mexico and Arizona have been frequently chronicled.Reports of similar occur- rer.ces have been received from Idaho and Wyoming, although they are of a more doubtful nature.Earthquakes have been felt quite frequently of late in various states, and if the record of a little more than a score of years is taken into account, says Prof.Angelo Heilbrin, of this city, a continual succession of eruptions and quakings can be quoted.There seems, in fact, to be a substratum of unrest underlying the surface of the United States and the feeling in scientific circles seems to be that the sudden uprising of the god of Vulcan and all the earthquakings that would accompany it would be no surprising event.pre MR.FOSTER SILENT.HAS RETURNED FROM LONDON, BUT REFUSES TO SPEAK.New York, Aug.7\u2014The Hon.Jobn W.Foster, the commissioner sent by President MeKinley to England to confer with Lord Salisbury relative to the Behring Sea matter, and if possible to obtain the reopening of the seal question, arrived in this city on the American Liner \u2018St.Louis\u2019 last night.Mr.Foster peremptorilly declined to be interviewed.Notwithstanding the reports that the conference in the autumn of Great Bn- tain, Japan and Russia at Washington will be one of naturalists to compare biological notes and that all reference to the existing regularities are to be expressly barred from the discussion, a ! passenger on the \u2018St.Louis\u2019 said that Mr.Foster told him that he had the expectation of reopening the whole question in the fall and that he had satisfactory assurance from Lord Salisbury to that effect.Mr.Foster was seen and asked about this important statement attributed to him and he refused to affirm or deny it.\\ Wala mle he et a ve En PE EE ES Te ED Tu nag THE KLONDIKE FEVER.MORE POLICEMEN NEEDED IN DYEA BECAUSE OF THE RUSH.AMERICANS STILL GROWLING OVER THE DUTY ON THEIR GOODS.Ottawa, Aug.7.\u2014The Hon.R.W.Scott, Secretary of State, this morning received a telegram from Dyea stating that the tcrush there caused by the crowds pressing into the Klondike, was becoming intense and that more assistance was necessary.It is probable that another hundred men of the North-West Mounted Police will be ordered to that district at once.To-morrow\u2019s boat from Victoria takes aix police and Assistant Commissioner Mollroy, as well as the boatmen.The shack builders and trail makers will go on by the boat on Aug.15.Four applications for insurance were received by the Ontario Mutual Life Assurance Company from persons in Ottawa who are going to the Klondike.The local agent, Mr.H.Mooney, telegraphed te general manager at Waterloo, Ont.and received orders not to take the risks.Vancouver, B.C., Aug.7.\u2014The steamer \u2018Capilano\u2019 returned last evening from Dyea, Alaska, where she took eighty head of cattle and horses.All were landed safely at Pyramid Harbor, two heard it is thought the cattle can reach Klondike this fall.The weather was fine when the \u2018Capilano\u2019 left.The steamer \u2018Coquitlam\u2019 sails from here for Dyea on Sunday.THE DUTY.ON AMERICAN GOODS, San Francisco, Aug.7\u2014No act of Washington officials in recent years has aroused such a wave of indignation on the Pacific coast as has the making of Dyea a sub-port of entry.Its effect has been seen immediately.Vessels are outfitting at Victoria for the gold fields, and, to escape the duties imposed by the Dominion Government, gold-seekers go to British Columbia to make their start for the Klondike instead of from San Francisco or Puget Sound.The government made a concession that was not even asked for, and got nothing in return.As illustrating how the Canadian determination to collect duty on outfits, unless bought in British territory, affects this coast, the Pitcairn expedition, which is to leave this port soon, is significant.On board the schooner will sail ninety men or more.Of those already registered, sixty having learned that their goods will be subjected to a tax of thirty-five percent if bought here will buy them nt Victoria.There they will also obtain a customs certificace, which will insure them free admission into British territory when they are taken across the line from Alaska.As each of the sixty men will spend about two hundred dollars, this means that twelve thousand dollars which would otherwise have been distributed here will go into Canadian pockets.This is but the case of a single expedition, and a comparatively unimportant one at that.Canada is finding more ways than one of profiting by the Klondike strike at the point and made to cover the \u2018grub-stak- ing\u2019 of miners.The Dominion Government will, it is said, attempt under its provisions to prevent mining by proxy.Men who are sent to take claims and work them on shares, giving the person who staked them a percentage of profits, may have considerable trouble in the Klondike.If the Alien Labor law can be stretched to cover \u2018grub-staking\u2019 claims are liable to confiscation when the miner files his papers and it is shown that an interest in the claim is held by some one who did no work on it.The story that a number of salmon fishermen and whalers operating at the mouth of the Mackenzie river had deserted their vessels is confirmed by ad- vices received yesterday.They state that not only the sailors but all the white packers on the north-western coast have quit the different stations and are now on their way to the Klondike.Almost all the men left at Klondike are Chinese.With the water front in San Francisco almost depopulated, it looks as though the salmon fleet will remain in Alaskan walers for some months to come.Capt.Niebaum, an old miners, who has made a careful study of the Klondike situation, says the miners already on the ground are laying in supplies at such a rate that the prices of food will run high when those now going arrive.The Alaska Commercial Company has notified its men and its old mining customers to lay in supplies without delay, and hundreds of miners are cacheing provisions.Capt.Niebaum says far more men have-gone in than can be provided for from the supplies sent, and he fears that the Yukon will freeze even before the stores now at St.Michael\u2019s man be sent through Dawson.Police Officer William Smith of the local force, who recently returned to San Francisco after a five years\u2019 trip through the Copper River country, says the people who are rushing to Alaska have al most no idea of the hardships they must encounter.PIONEER MISSIONARIES.Toronto, Aug.7.\u2014There are two mis sionaries of the Canadian Church Missionary Association at work in the Klondike region.They went out in the spring of 1896.The Rev.H.A.Naylor, who works amongst the miners, is from the Montreal Diocesan College; the Rev.F.F.Flewelling is from the Wychffe College, Toronto.In a letter just received by the Rev.F.H.Duvernet, editorial secretary of the Canadian Church Missionary Association, Mr.Flewelling says that the placer mines are very rich.he Indians are very attentive at the church services, and he is now building them a church and school.The climate is variable, in winter seventy degrees below zero; in summer a hundred and ten above.There are many varieties of flowers in summer.MONTREAL POST-OFFICE.AN INVESTIGATION TO BE HELD REGARDING ITS AFFAIRS.Ottawa, Aug.7\u2014There will be an investigation

Aug.7.\u2014The recent discovery of Mr.J.H.Nichols, chief engineer of the West Jersey & Seashore Railway, that crude oil applied to the ground along railway tracks would effectually lay the dust, has proven, after thorough tests, to work far better than was first expected.Both lines of the railway leading from Camden te Atlantic City are being thoroughly saturated for a distance of six feet on both sides of the track.The oil is applied on much the same plan as streets are sprinkled with water, and yesterday an oil train with sprinkling apparatus sprinkled more than twenty miles of track.The work will be completed in a few days.One gprinkling a year at a cost of eighty dollars per mile, it is claimed, will lay the dust effectually, but two applications may have to be made.The entirz Pennsylvania system, it is said, is to be sprinkled with oil as speedily as possible.J FLED WITH INJURED LEGS.THOMAS COLE, PRISONER IN 8T.FRANCIS'S HOSPITAL, ESCAPED ON CRUTCHES DESPITE SHOT WOUNDS, Trenton, N.J., Aug.7.\u2014Thomas Cole, a desperado, made a clever escape from St.Francis Hospital late last night.He was arrested for a murderous assault on Constable Dennis Frawley of Wilbur.In the fracas that occurred between several officers and highwayman, Cole was shot twice in the leg, and he has been in the hospital for several weeks.Last night when the lights were turned down he gave the nurses the slip and left the institution.The fact that he was wounded in both legs and could not walk easily was the reason why the nurses were not more watchful.(lole discovered a pair of crutches, which he used to make a quick exit from the place.The police are searching for him, as he has been in- Cle Daily Witness, SATURDAY AFTERNOON, AUG.7.METHODIST MISSION MONEY.DEFICIT QUESTION NOT YET ANSWERED.Toronto, Aug.7.\u2014The question whether or not the vear's finances of the Methodist Mission Board will balance, is a problem around which considerable interest and some anxiety just now centres.The general secretary, the Rev.Dr.Sutherland, was interviewed on the matter by the \u2018Witness\u2019 correspondent.Dr.Sutherland was somewhat averse to making definite statements.\u2018It will be several weeks yet,\u2019 said the general secretary, \u2018 before we shall know exactly how matters stand.The year ends on June 30, but owing to the small staff employed, to keep down expenses, it takes well into the end of August before the accounts are fully made up.The anticipated expenditure was about two hundred and forty thousand dollars.So far as the accounts are completed, it looks as if there would not be much difference, in respect to our permanent source of income, and that of last year.\u2019 \u2018What we call our permanent source of income,\u201d Dr.Sutherlagd explained, \u201care the church collections, the juvenile offerings, and the government grants to the Indian institutes.We aggregate rather more than two hundred thousand dollars.This leaves about forty thousand dollars to be made up from miscellaneous sources, usually under the head of legacies and sundries.The miscellaneous fund varies greatly, and has not yet FULLY question\u2019 of a deficit.While the mie = laneous accounts vary greatly, we always depend on them totaling a com erable amount.\u2019 Dr.Sutherland stated that the boar, at its general meeting, would, in view of regular sources of income having been well maintained, have at least no serious financial difficulty to face.The most notable legacy which came in during the year, was the sum of 210,- 000, paid in by the executors of the late Hart.A.Massey, the interest only of which, however, goes into the current accounts.mere MOHAMMEDAN PLOT.IMPORTANT STATEMENT BY THE REV NORMAN H.RUSSELL.Toronto, Aug.7.\u2014A widespread Mohammedan conspiracy to bring about a religious uprising in India has become known to the Canadian Presbyterian mis sionaries in that portion of the British Empire.This fact was elicited in the course of conversation with the Rev.Nor- men I.Russell at the Presbyterian offices.Commenting on the feelings of the population he ascribed many impending difficulties to the Mohammedan agitators.Ie did not think an alarmist view should be taken, but he considered that there was reason for apprehension of a Mohammedan uprising.Mr.Russell said: \u2018They are spreading about seditious literature.Not openly; but we missionaries being in touch with the people get to know what is going on.\u201d As an instance of the activity of the Mohammedan agents it was remarked that an attempt had been made to convert one of the Canadian miasion- aries to Mohammedanism.Of his own field of labor Mr.Russell speaks with enthusiasm as respects missionary propects.His district, he stated, had over a million inhabitants.He succeeds in visiting one point of it once a ycar.He works chieflv from three in-stations.Never before, he said, was there such an eagner- nees to hear the missionaries as now.\u2018My last trip,\u201d he remarked, \u2018was a sort of triumphal march, so eager were the crowds to gather and to listen.\u2019 Mr.Russell came to Canada partly for a rest, but the invitations to him to tell of his work delayed his arrival in Toronto for several weeks, and caused him to address forty meetings on his way from the coast through Manitoba and to Toronto.Speaking of the sentiment in Canada in regard to foreign missions, he is convinced that the interest has deepened and increased greatly during the seven years of his absence.Mr.Russell is a fine looking man, not yet in his prime; has the dash of an intrepid traveller in manner and appearance; wears a grev-tweed belted-coat, and his Canadian tour is relied upon to greatly stimulate Presbyterian devotion tn the foreign mission dicted.cause.!

unusually scarce this winter.Crop reports issued by the railways today indicate increased acreage, heavy yield and a high grade crop.The farmers of the Canadian West never had brighter prospects.The business af the C.P.R.land department has greatly developed during the current year, and the transactions of the past few months have been enormously in advance of corresponding periods in previous years.A satisfactory feature of this extraordinary development is the prompt payments of holders of land.This indicates prosperity in the country.Ottawa, Aug.7.\u2014 Reports from th> Experimental Farms in Manitoba, British Columbia and the North-West Territories ere to the effect that crops will be about an average, although in Manitoba and the North-West there has been loss on account of spring frosts and want of rain in the early summer.At Nappan, N.S, the crops are all reported as looking well and making rapid progress.Owing to the cold and backward spring, the early outlook was not encouraging, but with the advent of warm weather, growth has been very rapid and everything now promises well.Most of the hay crop has been harvested in good condition and the vield has been better than anticipated.The annual report on experimental farms for last year was 1s- sued to-day, and contains the usual amount of useful information.A handy little guide to the Central Ix- perimental Farm,

CEREMONIES.How the Church of Rome Makes a Bishop.THE PROGRAMME FOR MGR.BRU- CHESI'S CONSECRATION.On the occasion of the great religious ceremony which will take place in St.James's Cathedral on Sunday it may be interesting to readers of the \u2018Witness\u2019 to have a synopsis of the principal ceremonies connected with the consecration of a Roman Catholic bishop.Two altars are prepared for the ceremony.The centre, of main altar, is re served for the consecrating bishop, and a side altar is used by the candidate to put on his vestments and say certain portions of the mass.On the main altar are placed gix lighted tapers to which are attached the coats of arms of both the consecrating bishop and the bishop to be consecrated.At the appointed hour, the officiating bishop takes his seat on the throne, and his assistants help him to don the episcopal vestments.Meanwhile, the candidate himself takes the sacerdotal vestments at his own altar.The officiating bishop then takes a seat in front of the main altar, his face being turned towards the congregation, and the two assistant bishops lead the candidate towards him.The senior of the two assistant bishops then addresses the officiating prelate, saying that the Churzh requests him to raise the present candidate to the dignity of a bishop.The consecrator then asks whether the Apostolic letters are at hand, and the reply Leing in the affirmative, he orders that they be read.A secretary then reads the papal bull, after which the candidate goes and kneels before the consecrator to read his oath of obedience to the Pope and the Church, binding himself at the same time to respect, help and defend them.After taking the oath, the candidate is formally examined as to his faith and dispositions.The examination being completed, both the consecra- tor and the candidate begin to say mass together at the foot of the altar steps.At a certain part of the mass the candidate is led back to his own altar hy the two assistant bishops and there takes the episcopal vestments.He then continues the mass alone, the officiating bishop doing the same at the main altar.Just before the reading of the gospel, the candidate is again led before the consecra- tor, who offers a prayer in his behalf, af: ter which the candidate prostrates him; self at the foot of the altar, remaining\u2019id that position while the Litanies of the Saints are read over him.After reading the Litanies, the consecrator and the two assistant bishops pronounce three special blessings upon the prostrate candidate, asking (God to bless him, to sanctify him and to consecrate him.The candidate then rises from the floor and comes and kneels in front of the con- secrator who, with the help of the two assistant bishops, places the open book of the Gospels on both his shoulders, the top of the book resting slightly on his head.The book is kept in that position by one of the chaplains until the hands of the candidate have been anointed.Meanwhile, the consecrating bishop and the two assistant bishops all three place both hands on the candidate's head and all say together: ¢Reccive the Holy Ghost.\u201d Prayers again follow, after which a band of white linen is placed around the candidate\u2019s head, so as to prevent the holy oil with which he is about to be anointed, from running down into his hair.The \u2018Veni Creator,\u201d or hymn to the Holy Ghost, is then intoned and while the choir thus implore the blessing of the Holy Spirit, the consecrating bishop proceeds with the anointing of the candidate.Dipping his right thumb into the holy oil, he traces therewith a cross on the centre of the candidate's head and afterwards anoints the whole \u2018tonsure\u2019 or shaven part of the head, saying at the same time: \u2018Be thy head anointed and consecrated in the order of bishops\u2019 through the divine blessing\u201d After the recital of more pravers, the con- secrator proceeds with the anointing of the candidate\u2019s hands.Before this is done a linen scarf is placed around the candidate\u2019s neck to be used as a sling to support his hands after they have been anointed.The candidate then presents his open hands to the consecrator, who anoints them by drawing two lines in the shape of a cross, one from the thumb of the right hand to the forefinger of the left hand, and the other from the thumb of the left hand to the forefinger of the right hand, then continuing the anointing over the whole palms of both hands, saying at the same time: \u2018Be those hands anointed with this holy oil, and be they as efficiently consecrated as when David was consecrated king and prophet by Samuel.\u201d The candidate then places his right hand over his left, the two palms touching onc another, and in this posi tion he rests them on the scarf or sling referred to above.The consecrator having wiped his fingers with a crumb of bread then proceeds to bless the crozier of the new bishop, and placing it between the latter's fingers, says: \u2018Receive this crozier as a sign of the office of pastor which you are about to assume.\u2019 The ring is then blzssed, and when placing it on the fourth finger of the candidate\u2019s right hand the consecrator says: \u2018Receive this ring as a sign of the perfect fidelity with which you must guard the spouse of God, that is the holy Church.\u2019 The book of the Gospels, which up to the present moment, had been resting on the candidate\u2019s shoulders and head, is now removed and closed, and the conse crator and assistant bishops present it to the candidate, who places his hands thereon without opening them.the con- secrator saying at the same time, \u2018Receive the Gospel and go and preach it to the people of whom you have charge, for God who commands you, has got the power to grant you all the grace you need.\u2019 After these ceremonies the three bishops kiss the candidate, each in his turn, saying at the same time: \u2018Peace be with thee,\u201d and he answering: \u2018And with thy spirit.\u2019 The new bishop is then led to his own altar by the two assistant bishops, and there the holy oil on his head and hands is wiped off with crumbs of bread, and his hair having been fixed with a special ivory comb, he proceeds to continue his mass, while the consecrating bishop does the same at the main altar.When the offertory is reached, the new bishop is again led by his two assistants to the consecrator, who awaits him in front of the main altar.Going on his knees, the candidate then makes an offering of two lighted tapers, two loaves of bread, one gold-coated and the other silver-coated, and two diminutive barrels also gold and silver-coated, to the consecrating bishop.This ceremony is in remembrance of the offerings to God under the ancient law, and each of the above articles are marked with the coat of arms of both the consecrator and the new bishop.After this offering mass is continued at the main altar, jointly by the consecrator and the new bishop, each pronouncing together the different prayers of the ritual, and when the time for communion arrives, both partake of the same host and chalice.After the recital of the last prayers of the Mass the officiating bishop having solemnly blessed the whole congregation, takes his seat, and the new bishop once more kneels before him.The mitre is then blessed, and the consecrator, assisted by the two other bishops, places it on his new brother\u2019s head, saying: We place, O Lord, on the head of this bishop who is to battle in thy name, a helmet of defence and protection, that he may appear formidable to the enemies of truth.\u2019 and placed on the hands of the new prelate by the three bishops, the consecra- tor saying : \u2018Cover, O Lord, the hands of this minister of Thy altars with the innocence of the new man come from heaven, so that like Jacob having his hands covered with goat skin obtained his father's blessing, he may obtain the blessing of Thy grace.\u2019 Being now in full pontificals, the new bishop is led to his episcopal throne by the conseerator himself and the first assistant bishop, each holding one of his hards.The crozier is then placed \u2018n hig left hand.and the consecrator having intoned the \u2018Te Deum\u2019 neor the right side of the altar, while this solemn hymn of thanksgiving is being chanted, the new #bishop, escorted by the two assistant bishops, leaves the throne and passes through the principal aisles of the church, blessing the people.Having returned to the sanctuary, and the singing of the \u2018Te Deum\u2019 being concluded, the newly consecrated bishop goes up the altar steps and proceeds to give his first solemn episcopal blessing.This being done, and while the conse- crator and the two assistant bishops stand on the \u2018Gospel side\u2019 of the altar, the new bishop proceeds to the \u2018Epistle side,\u2019 and, going on his knees, expresses his thanks to the consecrator by singing out the following words: \u2018Ad multos annas,\u201d which mean a wish of long life.Advancing towards the centre of the alter, he repeats the same ceremony, and again a third time, when having reached the consecrator.Each time the words are sung in.a louder tone, and after the last greeting, the consecrator and the two assistants kiss the new bishop, after which all the prelates leave their sacred vestments and retire from the sanctuary.-_\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 WILL MEET IN HALIFAX.It seems now understood that, this year\u2019s meeting of the Canadian Bar As- scciation will be held in Halifax, instead of Toronto, as previously arranged.It is intended to hold the meeting at the same time as the Behring Sea Coni- mission.NOTES AND NOTICES.Want to go to the Yukon.\u2014The output for the banner year, 1863, from the Cariboo gold fields was $3,913,563.Some idea of the richness of the Yukon fields can be obtained by a comparison.The Lieutenant-Governor of the Territories estimates the output of gold from the Yukon this year st $10,000,000.The difficulties of transport and climate render the gold fields of Yukon almost inaccessible for the individual miner, and the history of ventures into unknown regions shows that chartered corporations can control their officials, where cooperative syndicates come to grief thrqugh lack of discipline.Strong companies alone can operate successfully now in Cariboo or in California, and the same will no doubt be true of the Yukon.The British American Prospecting and Development Company is meeting with a

According to all accounts there will be very much less lumbering done this winter in Canada than for many years past.In anticipation of higher duties upon imports of lumber to the United States there have been unusually large shipments during the last three or four months, so that there are large supplies already on that market.The duties enacted are said to be so heavy as to be all but prohibitive, and consequently there is little hope of any very great renewal of the demand for Canadian lumber for à time at least from the United States.If the Canadian export duties upon logs are proclaimed and enforced, and the United States enforces the additional retaliatory duty on lumber, the exportation of lumber from Canada for the American trade will certainly cease altogether for a time.In that case Canadian lumbering this winter will be confined pretty strictly within the limits of the needs of our own trade and our export trade with Great Britain and South America.The trade with Great Britain has been, and probably will continue, good, and that with South America ought to increase, as Canada will be the cheaper market in which to purchase lumber if our trade with the United States is cut off.Until, however, the new trade has had time to develop, lumbering in Canada must languish.It is estimated that an army of ten thousand men, bred to hard work and endurance in the wildest regions, accustomed to shanty life, will have to seek other employment this winter ; though this is an exuggerated estimate, the number will be large.A great equipment of horses, waggons, sleighs and implements of one kind and another will be allowed to stand idle and deteriorate.The supplies necessary for this host will be more or less left on the hands of those who have collected them.The trained overseers of the work of lumbering will also be left without employment for their talent.Some of our great lumber operators, with their genius for organization, will find the occupation for both their minds and capital gone for the moment.Now the question is, cannot all this Canadian capital, talent, labor and equip- rhent, thus temporarily thrown out of employment, be turned to good account in the development of another Canadian industry which is crying out for development, and which now, bevond all doubt, is going to yield immense returns ?Are rot the lumber organizitions, the labor and much of the equipment just what is needed for the work of gold mining on a large scale in the Yukon country ?Why should not cur lumber operators and capitalists who find it unprofitable to operate in the forests this winter give a year's operation to well-organized, well- equipped gold mining in Canada\u2019s North- West ?In the face of all that has be:n said, and which we very earnestly endorse, about the danger of going individually to the Klondike this year and the occupation of claims on the rivers already prospected, it may seem strange to recommend a large migration.But organized thing.enterprise is quite another If operations were begun at oncz, there would be no difficulty about get-: ting men and supplies there before the end of autumn.The very getting in of suplies promises to be a profitable undertaking and one without which there may be great suffering at the diggings before spring.The railways *reach as far as Edmonton, and the Canadian Pacific Railway would no doubt carry men, equipment and supplies at very low rates on special trains to that point.From that point an easy route for a waggon- way by way of the Lesser Slave lake, Peace river valley and Liard river has been run over and recommended for construction by government engineers.The distance from Edmonton to the diggings is about twelve hundred miles.The waggons would need to carry sleighs.When the mountains were reached the wheels could with great relief be discarded.Mountain road-making for wheels is very difficult, but for sleighs comparatively casy.The government is now being urged to ccnstruct this all Canadian route.The lumbermen might with some assistance on the part of the government combine to open it themselves.Their overseers and lumbermen, accustomed to clearing lumber roads, would do the work rapidly and well, thus opening a way for them- gelves and for their mining supplies, which would go by that route to the Yukon.In the meantime, surveyors and prospectors could be employed during the autumn in marking out likely claims and planning the dams and sluice works on the large scale needed, and which would be constructed by the men when they arrived by the road route.Lumbermen would make first-rate miners ; indeed, they are of the very class of men who become prospectors and diggers on their own account.Well organized and set to work at once upon good claims tested beforehand, there would be great economy in this employment of gold-mining labor.Such organized gold mining by large Canadian capitalists would develop on beneficial lines for the whole country the industry of gold mining in a country whose extent and richness are, according even to careful official reports, unprecedented in the history of gold discovery.It should not be left to British and American syndicates to carry on this industry when Canadian talent, capital and labor are seeking employment.Why should not our lumber kings become gold kings also ?THE FRENCH IN INDO-CHINA.The presence of the \u2018Master of Life,\u2019 Khoulalonkorn, King of Siam, in England and the consideration shown him in official and royal circles is apparently creating no small amount of quite uncalled for irritation in Paris, where, perhaps on account of disagreements in the east, perhaps because the Parisians hard- Iv realized his significance, he was treated with something like studied neglect.The fact that the kingdom of Siam constitutes a buffer state between French Indo-China on the east and British Bur- mah on the west would, it might have been supposed, have dictated a very different policy at the French capital, for the visiting monarch is a man considerably above the average Oriental potentate in education, intelligence and knowledge of the western world.That he should have crossed from the Continent in his own steam yacht of modern construction is evidence that in things maritime he is abreast of the times, and his thirst for knowledge is said to be insatiable.No doubt the British authorities will take care that he has ample facilities for gratifying this propensity in all that concerns the potential resources of the empire, and at the same time to impress him with a sense of the good will with which he and his people are regarded.The reasons for such a course The Siamese are even more orthodox worshippers of Buddha than the Thibetans, and their king is considered, and indeed designated, by the faithful as the \u2018defender of the faith.\u201d The Buddhist subjects of Her Majesty are both numerous and influential.are patent.As a rule, they are industrious, peaceable and law- abiding in accordance with the precepts of their religion, and that a prince of such orthodox tendencies should under the auspices of the India Office be treated with even ostentatious respect was to be expected.But it is the trend of French policy towards an extension of influence into the internal affairs cf Siam which lends importance to the king's relations with the British Government.That policy has been hitherto, and even now, in spite of solemn convention, is of the most med- It is not too much to say that this policy, as dling and irritating description.exhibited in the acquisition of Cochin- China, Tonquin, Annam and Cambodia, coupled with the recent encroachmerits on Siamese territory, has exercised a most sinister effect upon the peoples of these countries, without conferring anything like adequate compensatory benefits either upon them or the world at large.The population of French Indo- + China has decreased chicfly by reason of sanguinary military operations of the conquerors, civilization has made no advance ; society is in a chaotic state ; education is almost totally neglected, and, notwithstanding the large extent of territory involved, probably in the neighborhood of a hundred thousand square miles, the commerce is quite insignificant.Even so far as France herself is concerned, it is difficult to appreciate a policy which has already caused an estimated expenditure to the home government of not less than two hundred and fifty million dollars.Evidently no sufficient purpose of cclonization is served, since the French unofficial population only amounts to a few thousand.There is of course a small army of officials and à strong military force, but these tend in no way to open up the country to trade or to encourage the settlement of foreigners.Algeria was formerly regarded as valuable, all other reasons aside, because of its being an excellent training ground for the French army in the actual practice of warfare, but this does not apply to Indo-China, where, with the exception of the \u2018Black Flags,\u201d of Chinese origin, the native races are far from possessing the warlike instincts of the Arab tribes of Algeria.The Siamese are probably among the most amiable of these races.They are courteous to each other and to strangers.Hospitality is one of their most conspicuous virtues.Crimes against the person either among themselves or towards for eigners are of rare occurrence, and they are, if neither inventive nor skilfully imitative, at least reasonably industrious, so far that is as is possible for a people celebrating such an unconscionable number of holidays.* Their humanity is strikingly shown by the erection of shelters by the wayside where travellers may cook their food and rest for the night, and by placing vessels of water at intervals along the highways for the refreshment of wayfarers.These mild disciples of Buddha certainly make some practical effort to carry out his noble precepts.The sick and the aged are, moreover, here treated with far more consideration than in most eastern countries.On the other hand, lying and deception in general, the usual vices of the Oriental, are also characteristic failings of the Siamese.A great many animals are regarded with more or less superstitious reverence.The respect paid to the celebrated \u2018white elephants\u2019 is well known, but the raven also occupies a lofty niche in Siamese veneraticn, as does*n species of iguana, which may be seen basking undisturbed in the sun on the roof of every hut, which in turn he keeps clear of rats and insects.Animals are not killed by Siamese for food, but they may be eaten if killed by foreigners, which is done generally by Chinese, who are troubled by no scruples on that score.By a convention between France and Great Britain, signed at London in 1896, the troublesome question of French encroachments on Siamese territory has for the present been disposed of.The river Mekong, northwards to the frontier of China, is now the recognized boundary of French Indo-China.For the sake of peace Great Britain relinquished her possession of a portion of her Shan state to France and the British garrison forthwith evacuated it, a proceeding in marked contrast to that of the French, who still retain possession of the town of Chanta- boom, within Siamese territory, a fact not very reassuring as to the permanency or sincerity of the convention on their part.Under the convention the central portion of Siam, through which runs the river Meinam, is neutralized.The two powers bind themselves not to advance their forces without \u2018the consent of the other under any pretext\u2019 into this region, nor to acquire any privilege within it which shall not be enjoyed in common.This is not to hinder any action on which the two powers may agree for upholding the independence of the king- dem of Siam, and neither of them will enter into any separate agreement permitting a third power to take any action from which they themselves have agreed to abstain.Ostensibly these treaty precautions would seem to be sufficient to guarantee a peaceful existence to Siam, but assuredly the liberal manner in which its terms are being interpreted in practice on the eastern frontier is sowing the seeds of what may cause serious trouble to the contracting powers at no very distant date, \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u2018AUSPICIUM MELIORIS AEVI° \u2018A pledge of Letter times ;\u2019 so reads the motto of the \u2018most distinguished\u2019 Order of St.Michael and St.George of which Sir Wilfrid Laurier has just been appointed a member, and, although public schools have done much towards shaking human faith in the virtue of omens of all kinds, there are no doubt many in this broad Dominion who would fain accept our caption in its connection with the premier as a token for good.It is somewhat discouraging, however, to reflect that though Canada has been blessed in the past with the possession of over a couple of dozen knights of the aforesaid order, and a nearly equal number of \u2018Companions\u2019 thereof,\u201d the \u2018better times\u2019 have eo far failed to materialize under their auspices.The Order of St.Michael and St.George was originally founded in 1818 by the Prince Regent, afterwards George IV., \u2018for natives of \u2018the Ionian Islands and of the Island of \u2018Malta and its dependencies and for \u2018such other subjects of His Majesty as \u2018may hold high and confidential situa- \u2018tions in the Mediterranean.\u201d It was then an insignificant order, probably invented to give British officials in the Levant as fine crosses and ribbons as those of other nations.After the termination of the protectorate of the Ionian Islands, the order was in 1868 and 1877 reconstituted on a new basis for such of \u2018 the natural born subjects of the crown \u2018of the United Kingdom as may have \u2018held or shall hold high and confidential \u2018 offices within Her Majesty's colonial \u2018 possessions and as a reward for servic s \u2018rendered to the crown in relation to \u2018the foreign affairs of the empire.\u201d It is now limited to fifty grand crosses, exclusive of extra and honorary members ; one hundred and fifty knights companions and two hundred and sixty companions.The first or principal grand cross is the grand master.His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge at present holds that position.The insignia are a ribbon of Saxon blue, with a scarlet stripe, a star and the motto forming the above heading.A knight of an order surrounds his shield, usually a \u2018cartouche,\u2019 that is, of an oval or circular form, with the ribbon and motto of the order.Thus the familiar royal arms are surrounded by the ribbon and motto of the garter.The knights of the Order of St.Michael and St.George take precedence of knights bachelors, as well as knights of the Order of the Indian Empire, established in 1878, but are inferior in rank to knights of the \u2018most exalted\u2019 Order of the Star of India, established in 1861 ; the \u2018most honorable\u2019 Order of the Bath, the \u2018most illustrious\u2019 Order of St.Patrick, the \u2018most ancient\u2019 Order of the Thistle, and of course the \u2018most noble\u2019 Order of the Garter, by far the most distinguished order of chivalry in the world.It is hardly necessary to say that a baronet takes precedence of a knight, though curiously enough a baronet is not necessarily a knight, since, according to Coke, \u2018the knight is by creation and not by descent,\u201d but the baronet has the special privilege of being knighted.as a matter of course, on application.The honor attaching to any such distinction is not, however, dependent on precedence, but on the importance and stand ing of those on whom it is conferred and to whom it is confined.The Order of St.Michael and St.George being a colonial order, was unimportant so long as the colonies were insignificant and nothing thought of, but its importance grows as Greater Britain grows in population and influence, and it may some day be looked up to by the others.Its real value, of course, is very zlight if nothing is stronger than its weakest part, and if we have to judge it by some appointments to it we wot of.But illustrious names will greaten it again.Knight hood had originally a purely military significance, and though its honors, such as they are, are now conferred on nobler grounds than those of physical prowess.its trappings are those of the tented field.Knights of St.Michael and St.George are chiefly civilians, of whom it may be said in the language of Menage, with reference to a civic worthy whose tomb displayed a reclining figure arrayed in all the panoply of war ;\u2014 \u2018Il etoit de donne nature, Et ne fut arm6 qn\u2019en peinture* It may be interesting, however, to our quite numerous and increasing chivalry to know that a baronet is entitled to a square banner, a knight to a pennon terminating in a point or fork.while a mere esquire must content himself with a pencil or streamer.Beyond the distinction of being desig nated \u2018Right Honorable \u2018and the privilege of writing \u2018P.C.\u2019 after his name, the appointment of Sir Wilfrid Laurier to the position of Privy Councillor is a barren honor.The actual Privy Coun cil in the present day is the Cabinet for the time being.Although in theory the sovereign or the premier would he entitled, if it were deemed necessary, to summon other members of the Council to advise in questions of exceptional im: portance, this is never done except in the service rendered by the highest court in the realm, whose members are Pnvy Councillors, and which is entitled \u2018the Judicial Committees of the Privy Coun: cil\u2019 Of this committee, however, only the Lord Chancellor, its presiding member, has a voice in the government.It is possible to imagine in the process of imperial evolution another committee consisting of colonial premiers or repre sentatives This has been proposed by some one, and has indeed during the past months been an actual fact, as the pre miers who sat in council at Westminster were all made members of the Privy Council.Their appointment was, however, not meant to be anything but honorary, like that of the great majority of the members of the same body.There are now considerably over two hundred Privy Councillors, including statesmen.judges, warriors and even authors.The Legion of Honor of France.of which it is understood Sir Wilfrid I.:u rier has also been made & member Fy President Faure, is rather an order ol merit than of chivalry.It was insti: tuted by Napoleon in 1802, all previously existing orders having been abolished at the Revolution.It has been severd times remodelled.Since 1870 its mem bess consist of seventy grand crosses.two hundred

\u2018 Witness\u2019) Sir, \u2014Expecting better things, it is difficult for the Chinese laundrymen to comprehend the present state of affairs in this \u2018 English \u2019 city, as he considers it.He has an idea that there must be a \u2018company,\u2019 a monopoly about the Uity Hall which evidently has designs against him, and the present official opposition as to the laundry tax increases the popular dislike and prejudice; so the small boys and larger ones are free to smash windows and abuse and impose upon him generally.Two cases occurred in the past two or three days, though window- breaking is no uncommon occurrence over the city, entailing considerable expense to the Chinese.The difficulty is in catching or identifying the culprits; but in this case the boy was caught in the act, and was simply held for arrest without abuse of him; but a rowdy comes along and assuming a threatening attitude, forces the Chinaman to let him go.So the boy runs away, to return another day.In the other case, a Chinaman walking quietly along the street, is suddenly knocked down, cut about the face and hand, clothes torn, and robbed of five dollars.At least one of the assailants has been arrested, however, and our detective force is to be commended late- ing; of rails on Place d\u2019Armes Hil between$Jy for apparent willingness and some St&Vames and Craig satreets, and holds rha',¢ considering the steepness of the hill, and} the large number o thoroughfare, the place will becoive a most, dangerous one.re VISITING BISHOPS.Archbishop Begin of Quebec went to Oka yesterday, and will

Ontario Legislation PROTESTED AGAINST BY MR.QUARRIER.HE SAYS IT IS ANTI-BRITISH.On March 31 of the present year there was put on the statute books of Canada a law regulating the immigration into Ontario of certain classes of children.The act provides, among other things, that the authority of the Lieutenant- Governor must be obtained for bringing children into Ontario under a penalty of not more than $100, or imprisonment for a period not exceeding three months.Every society or agent authorized to carry on the work of bringing children into the province for the purpose of providing them homes, is ordered to maintain a record in writing showing the full name of every child; the name and address of the parents or guardians, or other persons from whom the society or agent received such child; the date on: which the child was brought in, and the | date of its birth, and other particulars.The passing of this act has aroused the indignation of Mr.Willam Quartier.among others, who bas been engaged for twenty-six years in bringing children into this country\u2014well-trained, honest and industrious children.Mr.Quarrier remarked, in conversation with a \u2018 Witness\u2019 reporter last evening.\u201cI hold I have a right to enter into this country with these children, because thev are honest, industrious and healthy; and because they are British subjects they have a right to enter cn their own account.Besides, we at their back hold ourselves responsible that not one of them shall ever become a charge on any municipality.The act I hold to be anti- British because it deals with a child up to the age of eighteen, whereas in Britain and Canada, no one can control a child above fourteen unless with its consent, so that the act is against Canadian law, and if ever a case is entered to he tried, I do not believe the Ontario Government could secure a conviction.The act is anti-British also in its insisting on all, the antecedents of every child bemg kept on record, and if you should fail to keep this record\u2014this is the penal character of it\u2014vou are liable to a fine of 8100 or three months\u2019 imprisonment.Now, just imagine that! Then it is anti-British because the government takes power over an institution that it never gave a cent to.Now, at home, the government cannot control any institution that it does not support.but here they hold the power to imprison me if 1 do not register all the bad about the child.It is unjust for a poor child that cannot defend itself to have all its faults blazed abroad.I say without fear of contradiction that this new act was hastily framed and is the most inquisitorial law that was ever put on the statute books of a British colony.\u2019 \u2018In twenty-seven years Miss Anni Mae.Pherson of London, England ; Mrs, Birt of Liverpool, and myself have brought into Canada about fifteen thousand children and young people whom we had trained and tested, and the results show that not two percent have ever become criminals or paupers, and the annual death rate is only four per thousand.We have ever held ourselves responsible for every child we brought out, and where failure has come we have returned them to the old land.We have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in conducting this work, and have never asked the government at home or here to help us financially.The work has been carried on in dependence on God, and is a purely voluntary and religious movement.We hold tenaciously that government has no right to interfere with religious work which it does not support, and that be- fcre framing this law we who have spent our money, time and energies in furthering the welfare of the land to which we have brought our children, should have been consulted.Instead of that this new stringent law was passed before we were made aware that such a measure was thought of.We feel that we have been unjustly treated, and that an unmerited stigma has been put upon our werk, \u2018After my arrival here in June I put myself in communication with the premier of Ontario to see if the law could be amended in such a way as not to interfere with our principles as voluntary (Christian workers, but so far there seems to be no other course open but to refrain from bringing out children until it is amended.Tt is unfair for the representatives of the Ontario Government to say that they have a bad lot of children there.I asked who was respon- gible for such an anti-British act being on the statute books of Canada.and in reply the premier said that \u2018it would be invidious to specify any particular agency as more guilty than others in the matter of bringing in undesiralle children.\u201d , Now it they have evidence there is nothing invidious about it ; while if they have no evidence what need is there for the act ?I believe that the act is really the outcome of the talk of the Knights of Labor.It was originated by a lot of men who want to keep labor out of the country.\u2018My proposal is for the government to satisfy itself that each child 18 a proper child before it leaves the old shores, and get a promise by those bringing the chi'd in that they will be responsible for it.We are prepared to do this.but none of us are prepared to accept of a license to do good to Canada and to do good to the children.The government has no right to make these children different from any others.\u2018Canada\u2019s premier has been telling us that he would like to et hald of our congested population and bring them ont here to a land of freedom.For twent- six years I have boasted of the Brie, colony of Canada, and I hve told nov reople that the laws here were equal 11 the laws at home.But I will go back now to advocate a different sate of m t- ters and declare that the laws «0 (yu, are unjust and anti-Br:ish in thar char acter.\u2019 \u2014p FIRST PRESIDENT, MONTREAL GENERAL HOSPITAL.We understand an Leon , !

and it was my delight to gee how the minister would bend the fork-handle, and when he had \u2018landed\u2019 an exceptionally heavy load to hear him say that it was a \u2018noble fork,\u2019 and that the handle was \u2018good stuff.\u2019 A description of some of the simple industries of the little community is amusing and exhilarating to read.Alter the weaving of the cloth came the \u2018fulling,\u201d done in primitive but vigorous style, by the kicking of it by barefooted boys who found it one of the amusements of the winter evenings; though it is a tribute to the hardiness of Highland blood to say that after this heated exercise the moccasin was put on and the way home in the snow and bitter night waz taken scathe- less.Speaking of winter-night occupation for the boys, I may say that another one was \u2018knocking barlcy\u2019 as wo called it, preparatory to its use in soup-moking.À large block hewn from the tree was hollowed out in a somewhat circular form.This was partly filled with barley, which we took turns in pounding with a long-headed wooden mallet, while some one more daring than the rest kept turning the grain with a stick or lomg-handled spoon, to the imminent and constant risk of his fingers, THE MAGAZINES.\u2018The Canadian Magazine,\u201d now combined with \u2018 Maasey\u2019s,\u201d begins to show improved cheerfulness outside and in.The midsummer number has a gay and artistic cover and presents the first instalment of a serial called \u2018 Hagar of the Pawnshop,\u2019 by Fergus Hume, a powerful story, to judge by the first chapter.There are three short tales of some merit but not much interest, besides a Micmac legend, \u2018 Taleak of the Soosoon,\u201d written out by Percie W.Hart and illustrated with drawings in the Miemac style.The \u2018 Canadian\u2019s \u2019 reputation for solid articles is well sustained.C.R.Coutlée, contributes a learned paper advoceting a new system of weights and measures, which seems to be a cross between the metric system and that in ordinary use, an attempt being made to secure the convenient features of both.The foot, he thinks, quite unconscious of punming, bhe most \u2018handy\u2019 standard for measuring length, a Ÿ MR.GLADSTONE AND HIS HEIR,\u2014\"Black and White.\u201d The above illustration shows Mr.Gladstone in company with his grandson, Master W.Gladstone, eldest son of the late Mr.W.H.Gladstone, and heir to the Hawarden estate.The portrait of the young heir is admirable and has given extreme satisfaction to the Gladstone family.It is all the more interesting as\u201d Master Gladstone\u2019s portrait has never rr before been published.SD AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIMENT IN RUSSIA.(\u2018Literary Digest.') It is strange to have to speak of the Russian as a pioneer in an important to that distinction.Some years ago, it will be recalled, a vigorous agitation was carried on in the leading English magazines in favor of abolishing all sorts of formal examinations in the lower and middle schools.Educators, publicists, authors, theologiars, and statesmen fre- ly debated the proposition, but nothing was accomplished.The futility and mischievous results of \u2018cramming\u2019 and examinations were eloquently pictured, however, and the verdict was against ex aminations.In Russia, where the decision depends on the ministry, the first step has just been taken toward abolishing examinations.The reform is to be applied to all low and intermediate schools.We find the following acccunt and discussion of the reform in the St.Petersburg \u2018No- vost : Under an order issued to the pedagogical councils, pupils will hereafter cnjoy the right of promotion to higher grades and classes without examinations.Authority is conferred on the directors of each educa- tioral institution to relieve their pnylls frem such examinations, provided their merks upon the various studies during the ycar are satisfactory and indirative of application and intelligence.As for those pupils whose marks are unsatisfactory, those who have demonstrated utter incapacity are not to be permitted to pass or to take any examinations at all, while tho e who arc deficient only in certain branches branches onlv.This reform is instituicd as an experiment, and ls lfraited to a term of three years.At the end of that term, the ministry will decide finally whother examirna- tions are to be discontirued or revived in any form.The question of doing away with examinations was first raisel in 13:41 by the Moscow agricultural sehool.The council in charge of the Institution was of the opinion that the measure proposed would elevate the educational standard while facilitating the work of the pnnils.It held that the significance of th?record made curing the year would be considerably enhanced by the knowledge that it.rather than the result ef the special efforts preceding examinations, woull determine the rank and chances of the pupil.The min- {stry thereupon Invited expression of opin- fon on the part of pedagogical counclia of tha various institutions, and the replies constitute a profoundly important contribution to the subject of examinations, and thelr value from the standpoint of edura- tors and punils.Naturally cnough, much diversity of opinion was disclesed by the replies submitted to the ministry.Examinations had many resolute advocates.Accord ing to the summary given in \u2018Novosti,\u2019 the expressed views may be divided into three distinct sects, as follows:\u2014 retaining the examination plan.According to the advocates of this view, nothing can serve as a satisfactory substitute for examinations.Neither frequent reviews ror daily quizzes can measure the acquire- ments of students.Examinations alone emphasize and establish the interdependence of the different studies and afford a basis for judging of the efficiency of the metheds adopted by the several instructors.They are a species of control over the work of the entire year, and in this light instructor as well as scholar may be estimated.Ag for the injurious mental and\u2019 nervous effects of the system, it is asserted that the SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1897.practical reform, but the facts entitle her!
