and maintenance of a certain num- .- ~f men for a given time, in the hope «: uitimate success, through honest ef- i.rt, crownimg the mission of the specu- ++ rs, whose business was to take up \"sms, or, if that should prove to be \u2018+: ossible, to buy interest in claims already being worked.There were two distinct organizations \u2014 hat of Messrs.J.McCuaig & Co., the well known mining and investment brokers on Notre Dame street, and the \u2018Messrs.Guerin.The method and plan -n each case is radically different.Messrs.McCuaig are sending out a certain num- ter of men under salary.These have been engaged for two years and a-mlf.They are under the direction of Mr.Wil- \u2018am Melntosh, a man of great mining ~xperience, and brother to the late Hon.Mr.McIntosh.Mr.McIntosh will be ven an interest in all successful opera- ions; the men are simply employees «who will be paid seventy-five dollars a month, with all found\u2014equipment, cloth- ng.food.At the end of the term these ren will be perfectly free to do as they viease\u2014either to come home or stay and eek out fortune for themselves.During the terms of the contract they are to work for the syndicate as employees, un- ler the guidance of Mr.Mclntosh, to whom they will be responsible.Ample srovision has been made for their food, -upply, while horses have been provided ; irom Victoria to Dyea.As a guarantee of faith, the men have consented to the half of their wages being held by the company, while the other half is given to : their wives and families in their absence.The names of the men are as follows:-\u2014 Wilhtam Merntosh, (in charge), George FE.Potter, James Sellers, Duncan Me- | Millen, and Wallace W.Seath, Buckingham, Quebec; and Patrick Rooney, Montreal.These are all bardy men, who i lave been accustomed to roughing it both\u2019 mn mining and lumber camps.They cer tainly \u2018looked fit\u2019 this morning as they moved to the train, accompanied by their friends, who gave them a hearty send-off.Mr.MeCuaig himself 18 most enthusiastic over the business, The Montreal-Lon- don Gold & Silver Development Company, Limited, which has been formed largely through his exertions, is on the wav to do a large business.Mr.MeCualg .has received letters and telegrams from men of means all over the country and from England offering to take stock and asking for information.It is the opinion of Mr.McCuaig that this fever is the best thing that has happened to Canada: for many a day.This is how he reasons it | out: \u2018The experience of Australia, of | South Africa, of California, of every gold | mine and field in every country will be repeated in Canada.What has been this experience ?Why, simply this: When a great strike of gold is announced a sort ot delirium seizes upon men.Hundreds, at first, thousands, later on, without counting the cost or the distance, or calculating upon the amount and character of equipment, start out for the new field or mine.Many of them have no experience whatever.Many of them have not the means of reaching their destination.They halt on the way; they become intimidated: their resources give out; they discover at length that by stopping at the pout they have reached they can get good wages at the work to which they have been accustomed.They settle down eventually; they become citizens; they develop the country.In this way the fever is a blessing to a country whose need is population and development.This will occur in connection with the present fever.The masses in London have not got full knowledge of the business; when they do they will flock in hundreds.Many of then will never reach their destination.But they will find employment nearer hand; they will settle down; they will do; the country good.\u2019 | The possibility of non-success being! sugsested in connection with the present expedition, Mr.McCuaig said that in any case the agreement with the men for the trié stated would be rigorously carried \u201cut \u201cThere is the possibility of all the good chums being taken up, according to *ne papers.This 1 do not quite believe, such a contingeney.Mr.Meln- instructions to engage an interest claims already being worked.\u2019 Tw finerin organization consisted of twenty-five men, who are going on the plan of mutual profit.About \u201c> hundred people crowded the station we them off, and to wish them good =

Helen Gould, accompanied by a number of lady friends, is at present stopping at the Windsor Hotel.Miss Gould is a leading member of the famous Gould family of New York, and sister to the Countess Castellane of Paris.This lady is enormously wealthy in her own right, and owns a controlling interest in the Manhattan Elevated Railway, of \u201cwhich at present the Whitney combination is desirous of obtaining possession.It is said that while the other members of the familv are agreeable to sell out, : Miss Gould remains firmly opposed to the deal.This, however, is but rumor.Miss Gould, with a large excuse to be a mere fashionable, has given much of her time and wonderful sums of money .to works of mercy in and around the city of New York.She is especially interested in children, who never appeal to her in vain.For the poor children of New York she has organized many outings to the country, many \u2018scrumptu- ous\u2019 dinners, the memory of which makes the poor little mouths water, while she has given liberal endowments to institutions looking to the amelioration of the lot of children on the east side of the great city.At the same time, Miss Gould is far from being am anchorite.On the contrary, she takes a healthy pleasure in life, loves out-door excursions, and her present itinerary includes the showing her friends most of the notable spots in this province.She leaves for Quebec this evening.THE WESTERN CROPS.Expected That Harvesting Will be General This Week in Several Sections.GRAIN RIPENING RAPIDLY.REPORTS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY VERY ENCOURAGING.Winnipeg, Man., Aug.9\u2014The weather continues very favorable for the crops, and grain is now nearly ripened.This week will see harvesting quite general in several sections, and next week will see it general throughout the country.From every district of the west the crop reports are encouraging and favorable and the | farmers of Manitoba and the Territories are delighted with the conditions.Grain operators say that Ontario millers will this season want all the western wheat they can get to mix with the softer eastern varieties and they predict as a consequence tha: the prices to tbe Manitoba farmer wiil be higher than the export value.Reports as to quantity of wheat show that the yield will equal Manitoba's usual high average.Brandon, Portage La Prairie, Morden, Indian Head and Moose- jaw districts report heavy crops with yield of twenty-five to thirty bushels to the acre.One or two points, where the goil 1s light and where the rainfall was insufficient, report only fifteen to eighteen bushels.The increased acreage and the increased yield over last year insures for Manitoba and the North-West the largest wheat crop yet produced.The acreage of oats sown this year was not materially increased and the quantity harvested will not be much greater than in former years.Barley is an average crop,but only a limited acreage was sown.The demand for harvest hands comes from all quarters and a very large number must be brought in to assist the farmers and the threshers during the next two or three months.The hay crop, which is always abundant, has already been safely garnered.IN OTHER PROVINCES.Ottawa, Ont., Aug.9.\u2014The North-West Territories station reports that barley will be a particularly fine crop and grain all through a fair one.The British Columbia grain crops have turned out well and the fruit crop will be heavy.Crops in the Maritime Provinces are reported as looking well.Most of the hay crop has been harvested in good condition.Grain has recovered from a set back through cold weather in the spring and is doing well.Leamington, Ont., Aug.9.\u2014Not only has the County of Essex been kindly dealt with in the matter of crops grown but the weather has been so propititious that there has been scarcely any loss from either rain or drought.It is estimated that fall wheat this year repre- .sents twice the acreage of any former \u2018year, while the vield has also been large, \u2018an average of over thirty bushels to the ;acre.Oats are about as usual, a little \"short in straw in some places but with i plenty of grain in the head.Corn is \u201can abundant crop.The home-grown article has been on the tables at Windsor and Teamington for a week or ten days.Nowhere else in Ontario does one see fields of waving corn so numerous as here in Ksscx.Grapes promise an abundant crop.Apples and peaches are a failure, \u2018apples relatively, peaches absolutely.Of \"apples there will be less than a quarter .crop, of peaches not a dozen baskets.Of .pears and plums there will not be many.The small fruit season has been the best ever known.THE CANOVAS MURDER.ALL EUROPE AROUSED OVER THE COWARDLY ACT.THE POPE DEEPLY AFFECTED BY THE NEWS\u2014RECENT HISTORY OF THB ASSASSIN, Madrid, Aug.8.\u2014The assassination of the Prime Minister of Spain, Senor Can- ovas del Castillo, who was shot and killed by the Italian anarchist, whose name is believed to be Michele Angine Colli, at the baths at Santa Agueda yesterday afternoon, was undoubtedly premeditated.Colli deliberately watched for an opportunity to kill the Spanish statesman and he only fired when there was no chance to miss.In fact, the assassin, who was ar rested immediately after the Premier fell dying at the feet of his wife, has declared as much to the examining magistrate.Further details of the assassination show that Senor Canoves del Castillo and his wife were present yesterday morning at the celebration of mass in the chapel attached to the baths.After mass the Premier was reading and conversing with some reporters when the assassin approached and fired three shots at him with a revolver, hitting him in the fore head, chest and left ear.The wounded man fell to the ground crying \u2018Assassin.Long live Spain ! \u201d The Premier was carried to his room and expired at 1.30 p.m.The murderer, who was immediately seized by people who were in the vicinity of the scene of the crime, was severely handled and might have been killed had it not been for the protection afforded him by a number of civil guards who ran to the scene.The prisoner, who declared he had killed the Premier \u2018in accomplishment of a just vengeance,\u201d at first gave the name of Rinaldi and claimed that the archist conspiracy.Later, however, the assassin confessed that his real name was Michele Angine Colli, that he was twen- ty-six years of age, a native of Boggia, near Naples, and that he left Italy and came to Spain in 1896.After reaching Spain Colli, according to his confession, resided at Barcelona and participated in the doingr of the various anarchist asso- citations of that place and vicinity.After sojourning at Barcelona for some time, Colli visited France and Belgium and re turned to Spain in July last.After his return the anarchist seems to have com pleted the plans for the assessination.of the Prime Minister.He left Madrid for Santa Agueda at the same time as Senor Canovas del Castillo and awaited an opportunity to assassinate the statesman.Colli 18 of medium height, wears a full beard and spectacles and his demeanor is that of a law-abiding citizen.He says he 13 satisfied with having done \u2018his duty,\u2019 and asserts he had no personal grudge against the Premier and was merely obeying orders received from his superiors in the secret society to which he belonged.He frankly confesses anarchist doctrines, says he was sentenced in 1893 to eighteen months imprisonment in the jail at Lucerne, Italy, and claims that he escaped from there to Marseilles, from which port he made his way to Barcelona.Senorita Canovas del Castillo, wife of the Premier, rushed to his side upon hearing the shots and bitterly reproached the murderer for his crime.Colli, in reply to the agonizing words of the distracted wife, said: \u2018I respect you because you are an honorable lady.I have done my duty and I am now easy in my mind, for have avenged my friends and brothers of Montejaque.\u201d Montejaque is the fortress outside of which the anarchists who have been sentenced to death for recent out rages have been executed by being shol in the back.The anarchists recently exe cuted outside Montejaque were the last batch of the \u2019 fends who were guilty ot throwing a bomb, on June 7, 1896, into a religious procession about to enter the Church of Santa Maria De La Mer.Twelve persons were instantly killed and about fifty others injured.For this crime twenty-six anarchists were sentenced t» death and the majority of them were executed.THE SPANISH PRESS.The Spanish newspapers express great indignation at Colli\u2019s crime.Even the periodicals with Republican leanings praise the services of the deceased states man.The \u2018Imparcial\u2019 says :\u2014\u2018Yesterday will prove a black date for Spain.The crime will centuple the indignation of society against its would-be destroyers.\u2019 Many of the newspapers this morning appear with black borders around their type.A post-mortem examination of the remains of the premier was made this morning prior to embalming them for transportation to this city.The funeral will be most imposing.The indignation expressed at the crime is shared by all parties in politics, and it is generally believed that the members of the colonial secret societies were concerned in the outrage.It is reported that Senor A.Pidal, president of the Chamber of Deputies, will be appointed president of the Council of Ministers in succession to the late premier on the expiration of the official nine davs\u2019 mourning.The ministers for the present will meet in council daily.Colli.it developed at the examination eg rN EL IRA ip oy \u2014 Man 4 ! for details of the crime.before a magistrate to-day, succeeded in firing two shots at the people who arrested him before he was overpowered.The assassin calls himself a \u2018revolutionary anarchist.\u2019 Senor Silvela, the leader of the dissen- tient Conservatives, has followed the example of Senor Sagasta, the Liberal leader ; Marshal Martinez De Campos and others, and has tendered his condolence to the government, while placing his services at the disposal of the ministry.London, Aug.9.\u2014A week ago the French newspaper \u2018Courrier de Lyon\u2019 published an interview with an Italian anarchist, who said he was going to London to see the Spanish anarchists, and that within a few days the world would be astounded by an event resembling the death of Carnot.The Spanish anarchists now in London, on being questioned on the subject of the assassination of Canovas, declared that the murder had nothing to do with them.One of them said :\u2014\u2018Our methods are constitutional.\u2019 They admitted, however, that they could not be expected greatly to deplore the death of the man responsible for the tortures that had been inflicted on them ; but they reiterated the assertion that the act was the work of a solitary individual without accomplices.COLLI'S PAST HISTORY.Barcelona, Aug.9.\u2014Colli, the assassin of Senor Canovas del Castillo, was known here under the name of Achillolli.He formerly worked as a compositor and was also known under the alias Jose Santo.Ile wae classed as a militant Anarchist, and was an intimate friend of Ascheri, the perpetrator of the outrage in the Calle De Cambros.Colli fled from Barcelona, after the outrage referred to.Rome, Aug.9.\u2014The assassination of Senor Ca\u2018 novas has caused a feeling of horror here.Many flags are half-masted and the Premier, the Marquis Di Rudini, and the Cabinet Ministers have paid personal visits to-day to the Spanish embassy.King Humbert has telegraphed \"his condolence to the Queen-Regent, and deed was the outcome of an extensive an- | it is expected that the Crown Prince, who is now cruising on his yacht, will proceed to Madrid.The Pope is greatly upset by the news of the assassination ænd, on receipt of it, immediately sent to the Spanish embassy His Holiness also telegraphed on the subject to Madrid.Madrid, Aug.9.\u2014The newspapers of this city, in commenting upon the crime, say that though Anarchists have no country, it is dreadful to contemplate that the last two murders of eminent men, that of President Carnot.of France rend the assassination of Premier Cano- vas, were the work of Italiane.THE LONDON PRESS.London, Aug.9.\u2014The afternoon newspapers in their comments upon the assassination of the Spanish premier express themselves on the same lines as the morning papers, remarking upon the incomprehensible idiocy of the murder of the man who was mainly responsible for giving universal suffrage to Spain.They also advocate the suppression of anarchism by force, pointing out that the history of nihilism proves that force consistently and steadily applied is the remedy for clearing out the pestilent gang.The \u2018St.James Gazette\u2019 regards the death of Senor Camovas del Castillo as being a heavy disaster for Spain, adding: \u2018Canovas was not great ; but he was a statesman.During the Cuban crisis he governed with energy, and if he had been a very great man he might have told his countrymen that they must alter their ways of dealing with the colonies.\u2019 Madrid, Aug.9.\u2014The Cabinet sat until two o\u2019clock this morning, and decided to publish in the \u2018Official Gazette\u2019 today, which will appear with a black border, the appointment of Lieutenant-Gen- eral Don Marcelo de Azcarraga, the Minister of War, as premier ad interim.Senor Sagasta has postponed his projected visit to this city.In anticipation of possible disturbances at Barcelona, the police forwe of that city has been reinforced.Later in the day it was announced that the highest military honors will be accorded the deceased at his funeral.The court,\u201d however, will not return here from San Sebastian, the summer residence, to attend the {uneral ceremonies.The Queen Regent, however, will be represented at the funeral by the Duke of Solomavor, the Chief Major Domo.The remains will be brought here on Tuesday.An individual who was heard to express sympathy with the assassin of the premier and with his crime has been arrested.Malaga, Aug.9\u2014Old inhabitants of this city relate that when Canovas del Castillo was a young assistant master at a school here a gypsy woman told his fortune.She predicted he would become great and would meet with a violent death.IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE.A CONDUCTOR WHO WANTED A PASSENGER TO PAY TWICE.There was a peculiar incident on Saturday afterrcon about three o'clock, on a down town car of the Windsor and St.Lawrence street car route.Two gentlemen boarded the car at this point and ore of them tendered the conductor a twenty-five cent piece in exchange fer that amount of tickets.The tickets were delivered and the money passed to the conductor.The latter dropped it on the floor of the car, and after a hurried search in which he could not find it, de- mended a second quarter.This was refused and the conductor said, \u2018You get down \u2018I will not, was the reply.The conductor then stopped the car and called a policeman.The latter heard the circumstances and said to the passenger, \u2018Are you willing to pay your fare.\u201d \u2018Certainly,\u201d \u2018and here it is,\u201d tendering one of the tickets.The policeman turned to the conductor and told him, \u2018Here, you, be quiet, or you will get into trouble.Take the fare and get along.\u201d The conductor did so, and just after the car started, found the quarter where be had dropped it under one of his feet.The gentleman who came out victorious is a medical man well known in the east end.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A WARNING TO DEFAMERS.The Huntingdon \u2018Gleaner\u2019 says: \u2018A slanderer of the character of a young woman, the daughter of a respectable farmer in Hinchinbrook, was brought Lo, Béok by Mr.McCormick, Q.C.; with The result that the defamer acknoweledged under his signature that he had aspersed the girl's reputation without the slightest cause, and agreed to pay $450 in ret- tlonent.As neither she nor her father would touch his money, $150 of it has been paid into the funds of the Hunting- don academy.Mr, McCormick had done a service to society in teaching young men who speak lightly of women that they can be made amenable to the law and compelled to pay sweetly for their assertions.\u2019 ré MORE TROUBLE IN AFGHANISTAN London, Aug.9\u2014A despatch to the \u2018Times\u2019 from Simla says that another outbreak is officially reported on the Afghan frontier.The Mullah who preached against England during the Chitral campaign has again stirred up strife in the Mohammedan country bd representing that the success of the Turks in Europe provides a favorable opportunity for defying English rule.He has gathered some thousands of followers.As it was too late for him to assist in the attack on Camp Malakand, he attacked Fort Shabkadar, eighteen miles from Pesh- awur.The attack was made yesterday (Saturday).The police and garrison beat off the natives, who then burned a Hindoo village and killed some of the inhabitants.A strong force of cavalry and artillery has been sent from Pesh- awur to punish the natives, and it is reported that they fled and recrossed the frontier.ARBITRATION.\u2014 \"ts INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN SESSION AT BRUSSELS.\u2014 \" ELEVEN COUNTRIES REPRESENTED.Brussels, Aug.9.\u2014The International Conference to Promote Arbitration was opened on Saturday in the hall of the Chamber of Deputies.British, American, French, Austrian, German, Italian, Spanish, Danish, Swedish, Dutch and Rou- manian delegates were present.M.de Beernaert, president of the Chamber of Deputies, was elected chairman of the conference.In his opening address the chairman expressed great pleasure at the presence of Messrs.Barrows and Clau- ghey, the delegates of the American Republic, which, he added, was for the first time represented at these conferences, The Minister of Foreign Affairs, who is also Premier, M.de Favervau, welcomed the delegates in behalf of the government of Belgium.Mr.Barrows made a long address, in the course of which he spoke of the lofty ideals, fraternal sentiments and reciprocal interests which tend to bind the nations in a desire for peace.The British section then moved the adoption of resolutions declaring that the Assembly, while regretting that the United States had refused to ratify the Anglo-American arbitration treaty, expressed satisfaction over its adoption Dy the British representatives in parliament, and also that another treaty is being prepared at the instance of President McKinley.The chairman was requested to communicate the resolutions to President McKinley and Lord Salis bury.___ MEXICO WANTS TO TRADE WITH US.Toronto, Aug.9\u2014Mr.Edmund E.Sheppard, Dominion Trade Commissioner to Southern and Central America, reached the city yesterday after a tour through Mexico, in the course of which he gathered much material regarding the imports and the class of goods required that will be of great benefit to Canadian manufacturers in extending their trade.He found on the part of President Diaz end his Ministers the most friendly feeling towards Canada and a desire for closer trade relations.The President, who watches keenly the political movements of American States, sent by Mr.Sheppard, when he bade him \u2018adieu\u2019 last Monday, a complimentary message to Sir Wilfrid Laurier on the success of his new tariff policy.\u2014\u2014\u2014 CONTROL OF GREEK FINANCES.Berlin, Aug.9.\u2014The \u2018Cologne Gazette\u2019 says that the proposal of Germany for Furopean control of Greek finances has been accepted by the powers POST-OFFICE REFORM.Immense Saving Effected by Mr.Mulock.RADICAL CHANGES FORESHADOWED.\u2014 THE MONTREAL OFFICE TO BE INVESTIGATED AND REFORMED IMMEDIATELY.Ottawa, Aug.9.\u2014Mr.Mulock appears to be determined to mark his administration in the Post-office Department by a large reduction of expenditure and an increased efficiency of service.The two things may seem to be incon An £ EME Ey it will be seen that they are both true.Although the returns are not fully made up, it has been ascertained that in the fiscal year ending June 30, last, the annual deficit of about $700,000, which Mr.Mulock found when he entered office, has been reduced by hundreds of thousands of dollars, and during the current year, when the reforms inaugurated will bear larger fruit, the deficit will either disappear altogcther or be reduced to a very small amount.It takes time to reform such an extensive department, and the good results will not be visible until time goes by, and it is therefore all the more remarkable that these things have been accomplished within the short space of one year.A man\u2019s capacity for work is limited, but as he gets time, Mr.Mulock is reducing the expenditure of the department almost every day, and that he is also increasing its efficiency is shown by the addition to the mileage and the better service given to the public.The number of money order offices has been increased by several hundred, and the dry rot, which was creep- Ing in, stopped.Several of the city post- offices throughout the Dominion have been squandering public money with little or no supervision.Party politics seem to have entered into a great part of the administration of this department under the late government.Party friends were rewarded with positions in the service, whether they were needed to cairy on the work or not.The spoils system was exemplified to a high degree.ys In the Montreal post-office there are \u2026 À i h twenty-fotir \u201cemployees, ~\" dFRWIRg Wing about $12, a year, whose names do not appear in the public accounts.nor in the Auditor-General\u2019s report.There is nothing for them to do, and no justification for their employment.The whole office is over-manned, and an immediate investigation is to be made.Mr.Mulock himself will visit the office this week.Many complaints have been made against tbe Montreal office, and the public will be glad to learn that the Postmaster- Ger.eral contemplates reforming it.The Quebec post-office is said to be nearly as bad, and the St.John, N.B., post-office is another example of mal-administration and extravagance, and the offices at London and Windsor, in Ontario, are in the sume category, An investigation has already taken place into the Belleville post-office, which in 1882 was made a city office, with a staff organized under the Civil Service Act, Prior to that time the postmaster had an allowance of $3,770, of which $3, 470 was ordinary salary, based n an estimated revenue of $15,581.he returns for the year ending June 30, 1897, show the revenue of the Belleville office to have been $17,519.The expense of maintaining the office under the old system would at the present date be $3,200.Ir.stead of this there is under the sta or Civil Service system an expense for salaries of 88.710 and $369, paid for contingent expenses, making a total of $9,- 079, as the expense for the year just ended.Deducting the rent of boxes this amount is reduced to $3,174 against an amount which would now be payable under the old system of $3,900, or an ex- cesa of cost of $4,247.The Postmaster- (General intends to restore the old system and abolish the present extravagant and expensive one, retiring several of the officials for the purpose of effecting this saving of over $4,000 a year.Deducting the superannuation allowances of those who arc to be retired the saving will vet be over $3,000 a year, and in the course of time the allowances will terminate under the Act and the full saving of be: tween four and five thousand dollars be effected.FINE AND WARM.Metecrological Office, Toronto, Aug.9, 11 a m.\u2014The following are the maximum and minimum t:mperatures\u2014Kamloaps, 92, 36: Edm'orton.7S, 52; Port Arthur, 76, 20: Prince

the occasion of their annual picnic, and a much-enjoyed time was spent in the Electric Park, kindly lent for the occa sion by Mr.Peloquin.The weather was excellent, and the large attendance of people found the cool of the trees very pleasant.The parish is a scattered one, so it was found necessary to convey the children of the west end to the park in a conveyance.Through the kindness of Mr.Matthew Boa, one of his large hay- carts was placed at the disposal of the church, and under his careful supervision about fifty children were happily brought to the grounds.Over a hundred children wére present with their parents and friends, and the different items on the programme were entered into with keen delight.The grounds had been previously prepared by Mr.W.Mallabar, and an ample supply of provisions was brought by the various families, so that under the admirable supervision of Mesdames Mallinson, Grant, Boa, Adams, Crewe and Taylor, with the Misses Kydd and Taylor, the bodily wants of the people were not neglected.The great event of the day was the races.The little ones came first.Their race was a very pretty one, and all were given prizes, although Alice Bromby and Gladys Hannah were the winners.Then came various races for boys and girls, in which the following won prizes: \u2014Bella Holmes, Emma Weary, Agnes Simpsen, Maggie Johnson, Lillie Taylor, Percy Knubley, Jack Henderson, Willie Henderson, George Day, Walter Knubley, Duncan McDougal Willie Taylor and Willie Holmes.The young men\u2019s race was keenly contested and proved very exciting, Mr.Flls Kydd won the 220 yards race and Mr.Albert Hewton the one-mile.The fun came in when the married and single ladies ran in the egg races.In the former, Mesdames Malla- bar and Mallinson carried off trophies, and in the latter the Misses Taylor and Johnson.In \u2018thread the needle\u2019 race Mr.Robert Candlish found that Miss Mallabar had the coolest head and the most nimble fingers, and so won the prize.Messrs.Boa, Hewton, Ringland and Kydd deserve great credit for the way in which the races were managed.After tea came the distribution of prizes.The proceedings were opened by .the incumbent, the Rev.S.H.Mallinson, i calling upon the children and people to join in the Doxology.Mr.Samuel Grant afterwards spoke a few words, and then amid loud cheers the prizes were distributed by the incumbent's wife, Mrs.Mal- lirson.Each child was given a bag of candy and a handful of nuts, through the generosity of Mr.Grant, and after further enthusiastic cheering and the sing-: ing of the National Anthem, the children were dismissed, tired and happy, to their homes.NOTES AND NOTICES.The Best Place is the River side.\u2014Flec- tric cars to Cartierville connect with mountain

YUKON.Increasing the Force Behind the Canadian Officials.ADMINISTRATOR APPOINTED.MAJOR WALSH OFFEKED THE POSITION OF CHIEF OFFICER\u2014JUDGE M'GUIRE AND THE HON.HENRY AYLMER TO GO OUT.Ottawa, Aug.9.\u2014The government has reached several important decisions in regard to the Yukon country and the working of the gold fields there.They are determined to leave nothing undone that is possible to do in order to maintain law and order and enforce the regulations.It has been decided to appoint an administrator for the district who will have entire charge of all the officials there and be the chief executive officer of the government.This will be a very important appointment and there are not a great many men who can fill the bill.There is one man, however, fitted especially by training and experience, and his name has been suggested.This is Major Walsh of Brockville, who recently declined the appointment of Deputy- Warden of the Kingston Penitentiary, offered to him by Sir Oliver Mowat.Prior to 1883, Major Walsh commanded the frontier division of the North-West Mounted Police, which had practically all the active work there was to do, and made such a reputation that when the rebellion broke out in 1885 and the Fed- | eral Government was in a sort of funk, they sent for Major Walsh, but it was too late and he would not go up.Combining courage with rare good judgment and discretion, Major Walsh is the very man needed in the Yukon country at the present time, because he has a large experience of the rough frontier life of the west, and is accustomed at the head of a few men to face large bodies of hostiles and quell disturbances.If the government decide to offer the position to Major Walsh, it is to be hoped that in the interests of all concerned he will accept, because his appointment would inspire a confidence that none other would.The party of Mounted Police leaving next Saturday, Aug.14, has been increased from twenty to thirty-five, and two Maxim guns are now on their way.ihterior at once.One of them will be in charge of the police post at Tagish, just over the summit, and the other in charge of the detachment at Fort Cudahy.If a body of miners congregates to resist the law or any of the regulations, they would think twice before proceeding in that direction if they knew that Major Walsh at the head of a hundred Mounted Police, the pick of the force, backed up by two Maxim guns, stood in their path.While no trouble of this kind is expected by the government, it is nevertheless their duty to prepare for eventualities, and there is a determination to maintain law and order in that district at any cost.The knowledge of this will do much to prevent any disorder.The regulations have been amended in an important particular.At present the size of a claim which a miner is at liberty to stake out is five hundred feet running along with the stream and back to the | bank.This has been reduced to a hundred feet.The new regulation will go into effect immediately, as soon as it can reach the gold commissioner.The government has also arranged to constitute a court for the administration of civil and criminal justice.Mr.Justice Mc- Guire of Prince Albert has, at Mr.Sif- ton\u2019s request, agreed to go out and preside over this court.Judge McGuire was a partner of the late James O'Reilly in Kingston, and has for about twelve years been one of the judges of the Supreme Court of Judicature in the North- West Territories and has made a good reputation.The government are also constituting a registration district and appointing a registrar, who will lr Hon.Henry Aylmer of Sherbrooke, Que, a gentleman excellently qualified for the position.There will also be a clerk appointed.THE RUSH TO VICTORIA.Victoria, B.C., Aug.9.\u2014The following is a statement from a local newspaper: \u2014 .citizens of Alexandria gave him a great can justly claim to have made some of the largest shipments consigned to parties of miners and prospectors, some of whom were passengers by yesterday's steamers, and in speaking of the matter of handling the immense quantities of freight, Mr.Carlton, the general agent | of the C.P.N.Co., said yesterday :\u2014\u2018 I | have been in the business for twenty- nine years and I have never known of a case where so much freight with so many different marks has been handled with so little trouble.Their methods of shipment reflects great credit on the merchants.\u2019 Winnipeg, Aug.9.\u2014Among the passengers on the Pacific express on Saturday evening was a party of United States citizens en route to the Klondike, including Messrs.G.Currer of Washington and O.E.Jacques of Atlantic City, N.J.It is said that the C.P.R.authorities are in conference with the Dominion Government with a view to opening up a route to the gold fields via Edmonton.It is claimed that a more accessible and less dangerous route is possible than the existing one, and that it can be cut out during the winter, so as to be available for traffic in the spring.Winnipeg, Aug.9\u2014Mr.Caddinghead, a local civil engineer, has recived a telegram from Ottawa to hold himself in | readiness to accompany a party of surveyors to open a route into the Yukon country.From another source it is learned the party will leave here to-mor- | row, and that the route to be inspected | is that via Edmonton.Toronto, Aug.9.\u2014A local paper advocates tlg extension of the liquor prohibition in force in the North-West Terri tories to Klondike.It adds: \u2018Liquor is sold openly at Klondike.There is no reason why Klondike, which is in the Territories, is so set apart and given special legislation, and there are many reasons why liquor should not be sold in the district.In fact, there is no place, it seems, where there is greater need of prohibition than in that very spot.The miners who collect at that place include men of vicious matures.The liquor that will be sold will be of the worst kind, and it is no wild vision to anticipate excesses and debauchery of the most pro- | nounced kind.This will lead to lawlessness and convert the district into one of the most immoral places on earth.Liquor should be prohibited in Klondike.\u2019 Cornwall, Aug.9.\u2014Mr.A.G.A.Robinson of Alexandria, Glengarry county, has left that place for Montreal, whence he goes to Klondike in charge of a party of miners to be sent out by a private syndicate.Mr.Robinson is particularly well endowed by nature and education for his undertaking.Years ago, before the great rush was made for South Africa,he visited the Transvaal and tried bis luck among the Boers, but returned home before the great development of the gold discoveries commenced, The send-off.PROTEST FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA.Victoria, B.C., Aug.9.\u2014 All through Pritish Columbia a storm of protest has been raised by the promulgation of new rules for miners operating in Yukon placers, and the wires have been kept hot with messages protesting against the unreasonable character of the laws proposed.All practical mining men agree that the regulations cannot have been framed by anyone of mining experience, for, as Chief Justice Davies has advised the Minister of the Interior that the 500 feet claims are ridiculously large for rich placer ground, and the proposition to collect royalties on the scale proposed can only provoke collision between the miners, who will never pay such a proportion on their output as proposed by the authorities, in which the miners will have the support of the public.The reservation of alternate strips to the Crown is also viewed here as quixotic and unworkable, and net a single miner of some forty-six interviewed will admit that the.regulations are either workable or justifiable by necessity or precedent.Public meetings have been called for Tuesday next, at which the feeling of this city will be embodied in resolutions | for presentation at Ottawa.THE CANADIAN CUSTOMS, Washington, Aug.9.\u2014 Representative, J.Hamilton Lewis, of the State of | Washington, to-day had a conference ; with the Treasury officials, with regard | to customs matters on the Alaska-Cana- dian frontier.Mr.Lewis said that he had received information which he deemed trustworthy, to the effect that the Canadian Commissioner of Customs had issued a special order fixing an exorbitant rate of duty on goods of every description brought by miners entering the \u2018 Klondike country by way of Alaska.| | According to Mr.Lewis's information this duty was fifteen cents a pound on goods of every character.The Treasury on Saturday.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014.scandal, the \u2018Lanterne\u2019 adds, wil shortly be ventilated, three arrests having already been made on the

valued at fifteen thousand dollars and insured for ten thousand in companies represented by the: Western of Toronto.Her damage is nine thousand dollars.Not only is her hull strained and broken in places, but the bed plate of the engine is broken and the ma- chicery more or less damaged.Nothing has yet been done toward repairing her, but it is said to be the intention of her owners to fix her up again in time for some of this season\u2019s business.By hard work she can be gotten out before this month is ended.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 ROYAL ELECTRIC COMPANY'S PICNIC.The annual picic of the

MONTREAL.DAILY.WITNESS.A DESPERATE GANG.Safe-Crackers Cleverly Caught.BETRAYED BY A LETTER.A FINE BURGLAR'S KIT AND SUFFICIENT DYNAMITE TO BLOW UP MONTREAL DISCOVERED IN A HOUSE ON PINE AVENUE.For some time past burglars and safe- crackers have been busy throughout the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, and also in the vicinity of Highgate Springs, in the State of Vermont.On Thursday evening the post-office at Highgate Springs and a small departmental store known as the \u2018Berwick and Holme store\u2019 were entered by thieves.In each case the entrance was effected through a rear window, and the safes were blown open.The work in both places was without doubt accomplished by the same men, as the manner in which the safes were operated on was identical.Holes were bored through the door and dynamite and powder were the explo- gives used.The post-office safe door was thrown completely off its hinges, but the door of the store safe was only warped.A large stock of postage stamps was stolen, and from the departmental store fifty dollars in money was taken.The affair caused much commotion in Highgate Springs, and no clue to the robbers could be discovered.On Friday morning three men entered the post- office at Swanton, which is kept by Mr.| A.E.Ayers.They bought a stamp and posted a letter to \u2018207 Pine avenue, Montreal\u2019 Mr.Ayers thought they were suspicious-looking characters, so he seized the letter, which was subsequently forwarded to the detective bureau of Montreal.Through this missive a bad gang of burglars was broken up.Sergeant-Detective Campeau acted immediately on receipt of the letter by detailing Detective Suthergill and Acting- Detectives McLaughlin and Maguire on the case to watch the place on Friday night.However, no steps were taken to effect any arrest until the following morning.About half-past eleven o'clock on Saturday morning Sergeant-Detective Cam- peau and the officers already mentioned, armed with a search warrant made out against one Mrs.Douglas of 207 Pine avenue, charged with having brought stolen property consisting of coin and postage stamps into Canada from the United States.When the men reached Pine avenue Campeau tried the door, which yielded to his touch.The officers proceeded cautiously to reconnoitre, but found the low-) er rooms uninhabited.A few seconds afl} terwards Suthergill heard a low whispering sound coming from the upper rooms.In less time than it takes to relate the detectives were upstairs.They rushed into one of the rooms where they found a man and two women.Before the occupants realized their position they were placed under arrest.The room was thor oughly searched and under the pillow on which the man had been lying a Colt\u2019s thirty-eight calibre revolver was found loaded in seven chambers.In a drawer was discovered a brown satchel containing sufficient dynamite to blow up Montrez), in addition to several pounds of the very finest blasting powder and over fifty feet of fuse.In the same drawer a silver- mounted Smith & Wesson revolver of the latest pattern was found, also fully loaded.While the search was going on two men entered the house and were promptly taken into custody.Seeing that the gang was increasing Campeau wisely telephoned for the patrol waggon from No.4 station and on its arrival the three men and two women were taken to the cells.The prisoners described themselves as Nora Douglass, Carrie Neville, alias Farley, Joseph Farley, Albert Douglass and Edward Clark.It was under Farley's pillow that the revolver was found.The four officers went back to renew their search and the largest collection of burglars\u2019 instruments which has ever been seized by the police of Montreal was found wrapped in canvas hidden in the cellar.It consists of over cne hundred pieces, made of the best steel and capable of standing any amount of pressure.Besides the tools, a second package of dynamite was found and some of the money stolen from Highgate.A tramp's outfit was also found in one of the rooms.This morning the men were recognized by the Grand Trunk Railwaymen as the fellows who fired at the train at Brosseau on July 30.Baggageman J.S.Powell and Mr.Joseph Lebeau, one of the United States customs officers, said the prisoners were the men who held them up in the baggage car on the Central Vermont train at Brosseau on the day mentioned.Jas.Marburry, who is stationed at St.Lambert Junction, saw them board the Delaware and Hudson east-bound train and gave those in charge warning, with the result that after considerable trouble they were put off.After this it seems they boarded the St.Johns train and at Brosseau the three kept Powell and Le- beau at bay with revolvers but eventually they were overpowered and put off.As soon as they got away shots were fired at the train.The trainmen also identify the brown satchel and two.revolvers which they had in their possession at the time.It is surmised that the prisoners have been at work in Cornwall, Magog and St.Hyacinthe, where similar burglaries as those already referred to have been perpetrated.Sergeant-Detective Campeau says that they operated in Montreal as well.It is supposed they broke into the store occupied by Messrs.J.R.Paquin & Co., on St.Lawrence Main street.Investigation showed that the prisoners rented the house on Pine avenue on July 13.They came from Brooklyn.N.Y., but the police here know nothing of them.The two women passed themselves off as the wives of Farley and Dcuglass in the Police Court this morning.The woman Douglass is ill, and Dr.Bouchard was called to attend her.In the Police Court this morning Farley, Douglass and Clark were arraigned before Mr.Lafontaine.Four charges were preferred against them, and to each of the charges the prisoners pleaded not guilty.The charges were :\u2014Haying re- wvblvers in their possession on July 20 at Brosseau ; pointing revolvers at baggage- man Powell and customs officer Lebeau; having dynamite in their possession, and having burglars\u2019 tools in their possession.The men were then removed to the cells and the case was postponed for eight days.They were all respectably attired.Far- lev was dressed in a blue serge suit, wore a clean collar and necktie, and Douglass was similarly attired.Clark had on a suit of dark grey cloth.Subsequently the two women appeared before the magistrate and pleaded not guilty to the charge of keeping a disor- ot 9 ora TTT TS TE Ry he pe CAP ADVERTISEMENTS.> am PHILLIPS SQUARE, \u2018 COLONIAL HOUSE, MANTLE

Quebec last night, and the \u2018 Chronicle\u2019 chooses the occasion of his visit to print an article this morning in which it declares that the present controversy over Montreal\u2019s harbor improvements so much resembles the falling out in Conservative circles here some years ago over Quebec's harbor works and over the scandals unearthed in connection with them by Mr.Tarte himself, agaïmst whom so many scandalous things are now being said in Montreal by his present political associ ates, that it is not surprising to find the ¢ Witness\u2019 printing and commenting on a despatch

child, two years of age, belonging to the St.Ours family.This child was removed with its parents, a few days ago, to a tent near the civic hospital, as it was feared it was sickening with the disease.It is not thought the par ents will contract the disease.Another family in quarantine near the civie hospital.is the Tremblay family, consisting of father, mother and four children.A child of this family has also been removed to the pavilion as it is supposed to have contracted the disease.The other children of the family are ill with chickenpox.Young Charbonneau, who was the first to contract the disease in the city, ip making rapid recovery.No more cases have been reported to the health authorities.As already stated, three of Mr.Irving's children in Westmount are ill with the disease, and have been isolated in a temporary hogpital.On Saturday the servant girl, who had been attending the children before they were taken ill, was attacked with the disease and taken to the hospital.The children are progressing favorably.Both the parents are in good health, and it is expected they will be released from quarantine m the course of a few days.Dr.Bryce, president of the Ontario Board of Health, who arrived in the city on Friday to confer with the provincial and local health authorities regarding the outbreak of smallpox m the city, expresses satisfaction at the readiness with which all information was furnished.Owing to the disease breaking out in different parts of the city, and as they had ' not been promptly reported to the Health : Department, he was not surprised that a | few other cases had occurred.Since, however, the health authorities had been l cognizant of the disease being in the city, he thought that every possible precaution i had been taken to prevent it spreading.| The public, in his opinion, should be : prompt in reporting all cases of eruptive : diseases to the health authorities.It i having been proven over and over again | that smallpox exists outside of Canada, ' the greatest vigilance was necessary, by the quarantine authorities, to prevent it i entering the country.| Prompt vaccination, Dr.Bryce said, would ensure this city against any serious spread of the disease.ps WAR ON THE SAN JOSE SCALE.Ottawa, Aug.9.\u2014The Minister of Agriculture has caused a circular to be sent to all Collectors of Customs in the Do-

countries as long as she pleases, if the task of driving her out is to be lef: to the natives.A very different view is taken when the possibility of interference on the part of Russia is suggested.We find in the \u2018 Buddhist,\u201d Colombo, an article by Mr.O'Dwyer, Director of Land Records and Agriculture in the Punjaub, in which he expresses the opinion that, sooner or later, Great Britain must defend India against the hosts of the Great White Czar.Mr.O'Dwyer has visited the Russians in Central Asia, and is fully acquainted with their views.We take the following from his account:\u2014 Three questions may be put with regard to this matter: 1.Do educated jlussians, civil and military.regard the conquest of India feasible?2.Do they regard it as expedient and desirabie?3.Are they anxious to bring it ebout at an early dato?Practically \u2018all three questions must be answered in the affirmative.The Russians see that China, Persia and the Asiatic provinces of Turkey are at their mercy, that the way is open for them into Afghanistan, that the Afghans are greedy for tho spoil of India and w!ll make common cause with them, and that the way is open to Russia when she has become perfectly mistress of Afghanistan, The conquest of India is regarded by the Russians as their mission or destiny, and as anything but a formidable task.They believe that the native populations are sick of British rule, which, for selfish ends, is keeping them in dark ignorance, and has, by squeezing out of them all it can, reduced them to the lowest depths of poverty.The Russians further cherish the illusion that the loyalty of the native army to the British Government is not to be relled upon, and that, in any case, it contains no good fighting material and could never stand up to a Furnpeau foe.Finally, the nervous apprehension with which.with some show of reason, they credit the English in India, leads the Rus- cians to believe that Englishmen themselves feel thelr position to be extremely insecure, so that any shock from outside would shake it to the very centre.The British soldier they regard as pampered.insubordinate, impatient of discipline, and altogether unable to hoid Out against the hardy Cossacks {n a long and weary campaign.The Russiar peasant may be an easy-going, peace-loving Individual.but cducated Russians are extraordinarlly patriotic and ambitious, and the sucresses which have attended their arms and diplomacy during the last twenty years have inspired them with the belief that it is the destiny of the Slav to expand In every possible direction.They believe that they see decrepitude stealing over the British Empire, while their own is expandirg with all the vigorous buoyancy of youth.and they proudly say \u2018the twentieth century is for us.\u2019 0 ANDREFS CHANCES DISCUSSED.Mr.Arthur Montefiore Brice, hon.sec.of the Jackson Harmsworth expedition, is reperted by the \u2018Daily Mail\u201d to have said:\u2014\u2018You may call a balloon voyage to the pole so much madness, but =o game of our greatest geographers described Nansen's voyage in the \u2018Fram.\u2019 Svatematic madness has a curious way of proving itself right in the end.As an illustration of Andree\u2019s character, I will tell you a story.Some years ago he was wintering in Spitzbergen as a member of a scientific party engaged in exploring.A member of the party waa devoting his sttention to a study of the effect of the kng darkness on the human eye.When the sun returned bringing with it light snd health and hope, he lamented that he required another month to complete his experiments.Andree immediately volunteered to place himself in artificial darkness for the sake of science for another month.What that effort cost him no man who has not wintered in arctic regions can know.Andree is no amateur.He is a balloon expert, and by means of his ropes and sails he can steer his balloon.That being so, I have not the least doubt in the world that if it is pt esible to reach the pole by balloon, Andree has done ro or will do it.He has the courage, he has the character, he has the knowledge.Above all, he has the patriotic stimulus of the rivalry which exists between Sweden and Norway.- ce TITE ACCIDENT RECORD.Wiarton.Ont., Aug.9.-\u2014 William Jones, a voung farmer of Kippel, was killed instantly on Saturday night.He was moving a steam boiler and

highways.Whatever ways we make, the St.Lawrence must ever be the most valuable of all, and we should as a nation resist every scheme that can in the slightest degree injure it for navigation.Of the Coteau bridge Mr.Calvin of Kingston affirms that his water transportation company has lost thousands of dollars by it during the few years since it has been built, its piers being only a hundred and sixty feet apart.He demands that the Cornwall bridge shall be sixty instead of thirty-five feet above the water, as planned, and that the spans be four hundred feet, as in the case of the Lachine and Victoria bridges, and further, that the river pilots have a say in the placing of the piers.\u2014 It is said that the French Government looks to reducing its duties towards Great Britain and Canada in return for concessions from these countries.Unfortunately, the first concession we are always asked to make to France is on wines.Concessions on wines were made the basis of our last agreement with France, as they were of Cobden's celebrated treaty between France and Great Britain.Viewed from a moral point of view, the principal argument in favor of the reductions on French wines was that those wines were, comparatively speaking, temperance drinks, and would make beer-drinking England and whis- key-drinking Scotland more temperate.This was in the case of our own treaty a good deal urged, and especially by our French-speaking citizens, who are naturally and rightly favorable to the most intimate relations with France.and who are a good deal affected by this curious theory of temperance that cheaper drinks will make people more sober.If there is anything that forms a legitimate subject of taxation it is luxuries of any sort, although, on the other hand, it is an immoral thing that a government should depend to any extent on pernicious luxuries.All that apart, however, it must be understood in all dealings of this kind both by our own people and by other nations that we are free to prohibit, if we choose, the use of all such drinks.Of course, no fiscal agreement legally touches an internal regulation of this sort.But if we on the eve of a plebiscite should act as though the present condition of our trade was one that might be counted on to continue, we might well be accused of bad faith if we proceeded soon after to forbid the import which we had covenanted to reduce the duties on.\u2014 The assassination of the prime minister of Spain by an anarchist is by no means surprising.For some reason, probably because the nation is somewhat weakly and therefore an easier prey than stronger nations, the anarchists have been busier and more active, at least in a revolutionary way, in Spain than in other European countries.A year ago in June a bomb explosion in the streets of Barcelona killed fifteen persons and injured fifty more, and on the same day in Madrid a dynamite cartridge was exploded in front of a priest\u2019s house, though without any damage.Arrests followed THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.in both cases, and a regular anarchist association was discovered, which had ordered the explosions.A reign of terror prevailed for a time, and at its next session the Cortes passed a very stringent bill for the prevention and repression of such outrages.This law provided that all such crimes should be tried by court-martial and that all found guilty either directly or as accomplices in them should suff2r capital punishment.Eight of the Barcelona anarchists were court-martialled and shot.Since then the Conservative Government of which Senor Canovas was the head has been very energetically prosecuting the anarchists, whe have in their turn been very active.For some time over a hundred and fifty anarchists have been confined in Barcelona jails awaiting deportation, and harrowing reports of the sufferings they were subjected to by the jail authorities have been exciting the populace.Correspondents of English newspapers who have recently been allowed to enter the prisons and interview the imprisoned anarchists say that these reports are quite unfounded, and that the prisoners were treated with great consideration, \u2014 A CANDID FRIEND.Whatever may have been the elements of the earlier successes in life of (General John W.Foster, it is certain that his present somewhat unstable claim to international renown rests upon his connection with the slippery question of seal fishing, and just now he appears to be experiencing the proverbial fate of the prophet in his own country.This \u2018com- \u2018 monplace man, with a record of flat fail- \u201cure stamped all over his anatomy,\u2019 as he is unflatteringly described by a candid ccmpatriot, was for a time Secretary of State in the Harrison Cabinet, and he also acted as agent for the United States before the Behring Sea court of arbitration in 1893.In this latter capacity he was reported at the time to have distinguished himself chiefly by his blatant and arrogant demeanor to those with whom he came in official contact.Be this as it may, Prof.H.W.Elliott, of the Smithsonian Institute, an acknowledged expert in regard to seal life and seal fishery, does not hesitate to attribute to Gen.Foster a \u2018dulness in making up the \u201c American case in 1892-03 which cost us \u2018that shameful and humiliating defeat This no doubt is a family quarrel, which is no particy- Jar concern of Canadians, but there will be general appreciation of Prof.Elliott's manly protest against the attempt being made by officialdom in the United States \u2018to deceive the people as to the \u2018scope and extent of the conference \u2018 which it is proposed to hold at Wash- \u2018ington in October next,\u201d when the British and United States biological experts will meet for the purpose of comparing notes regarding seal life, \u2018all reference to \u2018 which we met with.\u2019 \u2018the revision of existing regulations be- \u2018ing expressly barred from the discus.As the professor truly remarks, this \u2018is simply nothing for the American \u2018sion.\u2019 \u2018case, and as to an agreement even in \u2018 biological notes, that is very unlikely, \u2018 Judging from the work of Jordan on our \u201cside and Thompson on the British last \u201cseason.He adds : \u2018Mr.Foster\u2019s trip \u2018to London only strengthened the Brit- \u2018 1sh premier\u2019s hands,\u201d and concludes with the broad implication that the alleged consent of Lord Salisbury to a fur seal conference of wider scope is merely a device \u2018to break the force of Mr.Foster's \u2018 humiliating failure to reopen the ques- \u201ction! But General Foster\u2019s failure, apart from the inherent weakness of his case, is no doubt partially due to the candor of his own expert witness, Prof.Jordan.À characteristic and unfortunately the most striking one to be noted in the diplomatic correspondence of, and in the argument of counsel for, the government of the United States in international questions is the incapacity of the officials interested to rise above special pleading to the clearer atmosphere of logical analysis and sequence.This characteristic is not less patent in the reports of United States experts, who, in place of confining their attention and remarks to the subject.upon which alone their opinion is desired, or is perhaps of any value, do not hesitate to launch out into generalities entirely foreign to their special function.Thus Prof.Jordan informs us in his official report that \u2018no final settle- \u2018ment is possible except on the basis of \u2018the amicable surrender of the right to \u2018kill fur seals at sea.\u2019 \u2018No change in \u2018the present close season, nor in the \u2018 regulations connected with it, not even \u2018if involving the closure of Behring Sea, \u201cwould be effective in saving the herd \u2018if pelagic sealing is permitted at all.\u2019 \u2018 Until pelagic sealing is suppressed the * \u2018relations between the owners of the \u2018 Pribyloff Islands and the nations whose \u2018ships have the right to destroy its herd \u2018 (sic) must be in some degree strained.\u2019 Let us be duly thankful to Prof.Jordan for his gracious admission that other nations than the people of the Unit:d States have some rights in this matter, even if we must finally surrender these rights under penalty of strained relations.But Mr.Hamlin, a co-commissioner with Mr.Foster, is less benign ; he boldly asserts that pelagic sealing is an \u2018immoral pursuit, which \u2018legalized, so to speak,\u2019 by the Paris court of arbitration.was Aptly enough does the \u2018Timzs' comment on these statements: \u2018Apparently the \u2018authors of these assertions are unable \u2018to shake off the conception of Ameri- \u2018can rights which the Paris award de- \u2018clared to be utterly unfounded.The \u2018nation which owns the Pribylofi Is- \u2018lands does not own the herd which re- \u2018sorts to them, and which Prof.Jordan \u201cdescribes ns \u201cits herd.\u201d The Paris \u2018award did not \u201clegalize\u201d an industry \u2018 which was immoral and illegal before.\u2018It declared, on the contrary, that pel- * agic sealing was in accordance with rec- \u2018 ognized and established principles of in- \u2018 ternational law.\u2019 The great John Locke asserted that logic was not a necessary branch of education.Issue has often been joined on this dictum, and undoubtedly Prof.Jor- dau\u2019s conclusions would go far to support the dissentients.In set terms he informs us that pelagic sealing has been the \u2018sole cause\u2019 of the diminution of the herds, but only a little later he admits that \u2018more than ten thousand pups were \u201ctrampled to death on the Pribyloff Is- \u2018lands in 1896, and that \u2018we have no \u2018data for estimating the losses suffered \u2018by the pups (sie) in their first winter \u2018at sea\u2019 ; that \u2018we can only guess as to \u2018 whether one-half, two-thirds or three- \u201cfourths of the pups survive the first \u2018winter\u2019 He frequently expresses regret that various important topics necessary to an exhaustive inquiry have as yet received no sufficient investigation.Prof.D'Arcy Thompson, the British expert, is quite in accord with Prof.Jordan on this point, but Secretary Sherman and General Foster evidently approve, irrespective of necessary data, of their expert's emphatic conclusion, as to the \u2018sole cause\u2019 of diminution of seal life, and quite naturally disapprove of the British expert's umaccommodating desire for evidente upon which to found a verdict.The logic of the \u2018shirt-sleeves letter\u2019 of Mr.Sherman to Lord Salisbury is in affairs diplomatic an illustration of what lynch law is in things judicial.Arbitration is of small value if the judgment of the tribunal selected is to be accepted or rejected according to the peculiar notions of equity of either party affected.The British nation has made it a point of honor to carry out arbitration decrees without delay or official demur.Not so the United States, as witness the premeditated delay in compensating the Dritish sealers under the award of 1893 and the present attempt to reopen the whole question before that essential detail is settled.Witness also the cool manner in which an accredited agent of the United States 1s permitted, without rebuke, whilst admitting the right of other nations to capture the seals, lo denv that a final settlement is possible except on the basis of the surrender of this right.What room for argument exists here ?It is the logic of the foot- pad, not of the jurist or of honorable men.THE FRENCH SHORE QUESTION.London, Aug.9.\u2014The \u2018Morning Post,\u2019 in a special article on the subject on Spturday, justifies Sir Wiliam White- way, premier of Newfoundland, in treating with contempt the \u2018monstrous claim of France to the possession of the soil of the Newfoundland treaty shore.With reference to the report that France has attempted to enforce this claim by a French man-of- war, and by ordering a British company now working there under a concession from Newfoundland, to cease working, the \u2018Post\u2019 says:\u2014\u2018Ît is not likely that the Foreign Office will allow such a high- \"handed proceeding to pass without severe protest.Indeed, we believe a de- sr.atch has already been sent, demanding an explanation.\u2019 Paris, Aug.9.\u2014 The officials of the French Ministry of Marine say there is no truth in the report that France has attempted to enforce her claim to the possession of the soil of the Newfoundland treaty shore through a French war vessel, and by ordering a British company now working there under a concession from Newfoundland to stop all work at

PAY OVER FORTY DOLLARS DUTY ON SOME SMALL THINKETS IN THEIR POCKETS.New York, Aug.9\u2014Mr.Stewart Tup- per, Q.C., son of Sir Charles Tupper, a prominent Canadian statesman, on Saturday made the acquaintance of the Ding- ley tariff law, and he was not favorably impressed.On the contrary, the Dingley law compelled Mr.Tupper to produce 2a quantity of silver trinkets he was carrying in his coat pockets and to pay $30.32 duties.Mr.Tupper might not have had this unpleasant experience with thie new tariff law if he had carrjed four silver candlesticks, a pair of silver salt cellars, a small diamond ring and a Queen\u2019s jubilee medal in his trunk instead of his pockets.Mr.Tupper\u2019s baggage was passad without question after it had been landed from the \u2018Etruria,\u2019 on which Mr.Tupper and a friend, Mr.Travers Lewis, of Waterford, Canada, came from Liverpool.The two passengers were mingling with the crowd at the Cunarder dock when they attracted the attention of the custom house detectives Donahue and Handy.The detectives noticed that the pockets of Mr.Tupper's coat were bulging considerably, and they requested him to explain.Mr.Tupper promptly pulled out of his pockets the silver candlesticks, salt cellars, diamond ring and jubilee medal.The candlesticks were superbly embossed.The other articles were in leather cases.Mr.Tupper explained that they were trinkets he had bought in London to present to friends in this city.\u2018The duty on these articles,\u201d he was informed, \u2018will be 230.32.Mr.Tupper, as soon as he had recovered from the surprise, became highly indignant.He said it was an outrage to be compelled to pay that duty on these small articles he was bringing to give to friends here.He was particularly provoked because he merely was passing through the land of the Dingley law.The detectives meanwhile became engaged in conversation with Mr.Tupper's friend, who told them that he had a few trinkets in his pockets, also.He did not even wait for a request to produce them.He pulled out several articles of silverware to show to the detectives that neither he nor Mr.Tupper was trving to keep anything from the customs officers.Mr.Lewis, as a reward for his frankness, thereupon discovered that it would cost him, under the Dingley law, just $10.50.Mr.Lewis then became as indignant as Mr.Tupper.\u2018These articles arc not worth fifteen dollars,\u201d he declared.Isut the detectives insisted that he would have to pay, and the two Canadian travellers reluctantly paid the duties.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 TL.LOOKS BAD FOR LUETGERT.THE CHAIN OF CIRCUM- EVIDENCE FORGED ON LAST LINK IN STANTIAL SATURDAY, Chicago, Aug.9.\u2014 The experiment of destroying a human body by the use of crude potash was successfully carried out on Saturday.The body was destroyed in two hours, with the exception of a few splinters of bone, Of the fleshy substance, only a small quantity of fluid, about the consistency of molasses, re- mzined.The experiment was made under the orders of the prosecution in the case of Adolphe Imetgert, the rich sausage manufacturer, who is charged with murdering his wife, and disposing of her body in the vats at his factory.The theory of the prosecntion was that T.uet- gert placed the body of his wife in a solution of crude potash and cold water, raised the solution to a boiling point and destroved all traces of his victim.The fact that a body could be thus de- stroved has been disputed.Saturday's test, settles that point beyond a doubt.The attorneys for the state were entirely satisfied with the test, and believe the last link in the chain of circumstances has been found to convict Luetgert of his alleged crime.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A POST-OFFICE ROBBED.Calumet, Mich., Aug.9.\u2014The post-office was broken into last night.The thieves blew open the safe with dynamite and took the two cash drawers with about a hundred and twenty-five dollars belonging to the government and five hundred dollars of the postmaster\u2019s private funds.The burglars forced an entrance through a rear window and did their work so expertly that a night officer who watches the bank adjoining the post-office, never heard a sound.The sledge used was stolen from a blacksmith\u2019s shop, and was the same sledge used when the post-office was robbed four years ago.tll GERMANY AND SAMOA.London, Aug.7.\u2014A despatch to the \u2018Times\u2019 from Berlin says

à slur should have been cast upon the Ancient Capital's proverhigl reputation for orderliness and hospitality to strangers.There seems also to be a general agreement now that the whole trouble was 1 + work of an organized gang of VOUNE rove.dies, resident in the St.Sauveur suburh who had leagued together to break up the evening performance of the circus iu revenge for having been preventad from invading the tents during the afternoon without payment.The Liberal organ, the \u201cSoleil,\u201d 1s very outspoken on the subject saying: \u2018Certainly there is a class of our population who are sadly lacking in \u2018su voir vivre.Respectable and rmght-tlink- Ing citizens will approve our acticin 11 exposing the situation as it is and telling the truth.The circus hands were, per haps, not altogether blameless, but the greatest blame does not attach to them.At Quebec, the waggons of a circus have hardly reached the railway station when the employees have to defend themselves at.inst an army of the curious who scale the waggons and even force the vans to see the animals.Two years ago the refreshment car of a circus here was broken into by the mob in this way ænd over a hundred dozens of bottles of liquor car ried off.The same thing happened on Friday in the case of the Washburn ar cus.But the curious became still more enterprising and aggressive when the tents were erected.There were women with infants in their arms, children, young men and old men, crowding and elbowing each other to get a sight of the animals and the strangers.The circus hands shouted to them to keep back, but it was useless and some blows were exchanged.However, peace was soon restored, but hostilities were only suspended and on different occasions during the afternoon the circus people were greatly harassed, women even trying to force their way into the tents without paving and raising an outcry when they were pushed back by the door keepers.It was cne of these women who seems to have precipitated the disturbance, for which a large crowd had evidently come prepared.many of them being armed with sticks.The migerable creatures who cut the tent ropes clearly never dreamed of the grave consequences of their criminal action; they never dreamed that, in attempting tv throw down the tent, they might Lave provoked a disastrous fire, a frightin! panic, a terrible human hecatomb.The circus manager, seeing that the row was assuming dangerous proportions and would soon become uncontrollable, shout ed to the spectatora to get out quickly but quietly, and loosed the largest of the elephants to keep the passage clear.This stratagem succeeded perfectly and th crowd dispersed with but little panic and without accident.\u201d The same paper ni» cules the story about the plot on the part of the circus people to kidnap the hrtle gon of a citizen.declaring that it was OH Iv invented for the purpose of exciting the crowd against the circus people.It also vigorously deneunces the deplorable popular tendency en such occasions to not only refuse to lend aid to the po lice, but actually to show hostility to the guardians of the peace.As for the num ber of injured in the scrimmage.1t ai pears to Le much larger than was reper ed.but nono of those hurt seem to be any danger.The most sericusly hur: 18 said ta be one of the cireus hanas.wha had an am broken.The hewlmg m > appears to have also followed the par TS people all the way te the Lake std railivay station.pelting them with s!

came back from the hillside.\u2018How a-o you?yelled one of the company ard the echo answered In a suspiciously different key, \u2018How are vou?All went well until, just before Tetiring, one mouth, cried out, \u2018Will you have some whiskey ?Such a question would disclose the character of any reasonable echo.It was certainly too much for the one which had been discovered on that estate.Judge of the surprise of the party when the answer came back in clear afârmative tones, \u2018Thank you,s>r, I will {f you please.\u201d The poor fellow who had been stationed at a distance to supply the place of an echo submitted to too great a temptation.\u2014London \u2018Family Herald.\u2019 A THIEF'S RIDE.The thief who steals your bicycle will enjoy one ride anyway.You'll get a new wheel of the same make right away if you have a policy with the Dominion Burglary Guarantee Company of Montreal.Costs $2.00.Office, 181 St.James street.Telephone 1234.9 REALISM.Layman\u2014\u2018'Realiem, eh ?mean to tell me the sun that?\" .Artist\u2014\u2018Ha, ha !

amounts of $27,421, $10,000 of which are counted doubtful and $3,000 bad.The rest of the assets consist mainly of real estate.The liabilities are placed at 832,500, of which $26,000 is to the trade and 86,500 to the Standard Bank.This leaves a nominal surplus of $18,600.The Standard Bank, in addition, is a creditor to Mr.Lang on account of advances made of $78,367, secured, however, by customers\u2019 paper.Mr.Lang stated that the money he had received for his stock, $22,000, had been paid to Mr.Wm.Mitchell of Todhunter, Mitchell & Co., on account of a debt, and in consideration of the genera! situation Mr.Mitchell was willing to return 210,000 of that amount for the benefit of the creditors generally.This, it was estimated, would enable a dividend of 5114 percent to be paid to the trade creditors.The creditors appeared to consider this on the whole the best arrangement that could be made, and it will probably be carried out.A committee was appointed to look into the details.\u2014\u2014\u2014> A REMARKABLE WOMAN DEAD.Cornwall, Aug.9\u2014Mrs.James Gaines, who died the other day at the residence of her husband in Kenyon Township, (Glengarry County, at the advanced

Agueda.WHERE HE WAS SOJOURNING IN SEARCH OF HEALTH.SKETCH OF HIS CAREER.Madrid, Aug.8.\u2014Senor Canovas del Castillo, the prime Minister of Spain, was as sassinated to-day at Santa Agueda by an anarchist.The murderer fired three shots, one of which struck the Premier in the forehead and another in the chest.The wounded man fell dying at the feet of his wife, who was with him, lingering in agony for an hour and then passing away with the cry of \u2018Long live Spain,\u201d which were the last words upon his lips.Santa Agueda is noted for its baths.The place is between San Sebastian, the summer residence of the Spanish Court, and Vitoria, the capital of the Province of Ala- va, about thirty miles south of Bilbao.The Premier went there last Thursday to take a three weeks\u2019 course of the baths, after which he expected to return to San Sebastian to meet the United States minister, Mr.Woodford, when officially received by the Queen regent.The assassin was immediately arrested.He is a Neapolitan and gives the name of Iinaldi, but it is believed that this is an assumed name, and that his real name ia Michele Angine Colli.At a special meeting of the cabinet today, under the presidency of Senor Cos- Gayon, the Minister of the Interior, the latter announced that he had been entrusted by the Queen Regent with the premiership ad interim.The murderer declares that he killed Senor Canovas \u2018in accomplishment of a just vengeance,\u201d and that the deed is the outcome of a vast anarchist conspiracy.He Ral HY 5 \u20ac AY THE MURDERED PREMIER.is believed to have arrived at Santa Ague- de the same day as the premier and he was frequently seen lurking in the passages of the bathing establishment in a suspicious manner.Marshal Martinez Campos has gone to San Sebastian to attend the Queen Regent.Senor Sagasta, the Liberal leader, has sent the following telegram to the government: \u2018I have heard with deep pain of the crime that has thrown us all into mourning, and I place myself at the orders of the government and of the Queen.\u201d Most of the Liberal leaders have sent similar messages, placing themselves at the disposal of the government.Madrid, Aug.8.\u2014The Queen Regent on hearing the news despatched her own physician, Dr.Bustos, by a special train from San Sebastian.Later, on learning that Canovas was dead, she wired her condolences to the widow.The health of Senor Canovas had improved greatly of late.He had been leading a very quiet life, although he attended to the business of state.At the moment of the assassination he was waiting in the gallery of the bathing establishment for his wife, who was to join him for lunch.Suddenly the assas- pardoned Barcelona anarchists, but this is not confirmed.THE DEAD BTATESMAN.Antonio Canovas del Castillo was born in 1830.He made his debut in 1851 under the patronage of Senors Rios, Rosas and Pacheco, as chief editor of the \u2018 Pa- tria,\u2019 in which he defended Conservative ideas.In 1854 he was named deputy for Malaga, and since that year had always occupied a seat in the Cortes.In 1836 he was charge d\u2019affaires in Rome and drew up the historical memorandum on the relations of Spain with the Holy See, which served as a basis for the Concordat.He was then named successively as Governor of Cadiz in 1855, director-gen- eral of the administration from 1858 to 1861, and lastly in that same year, under secretary of state for the interior.In 1884 the Queen called him to the ministry; chose him in 1865 as minister of finance and the colonies, and he had the honor of drawing up the law fér the abclition of the traffic in slaves.Lastly, a little before the revolution of 1868, he was the last to defend with energy in the Cortes the Liberal principles, when all the parties which had supported his doctrine bad dissolved the Parliament.His greatest title to fame was that of having been the first\u2014supported by Senors Elduayem, Bugalial and two others\u2014 to hoist the standard of constitutional and legitimate monarchy in the full constituent assembly of 1868, and in face of the triumphant revolution.His fidelity and capacity obtained for him the supreme direction of the Alfonsist party; and in the proclamation of Alfonso XII, as King, in December, 1874, Senor Cano- vas del Castillo became President of the Council and chief of the new Cabinet, and he continued to hold the premier ship, with the exception of a few months, down to 1879, when, on the return of Marshal Martinez Campos from Cuba, Senor Canovas del Castillo retired from the premiership and Marshal Campos became prime minister, accepting as his colleagues the principal associates of Senor | Canovas.The skilful resistance of the latter delaved and defeated the marshal\u2019s free trade and emancipation projects, so that on the reassembling of the Cortes in December, 1879, he was compelled to resign.Senor Canovas del Castillo then returned to power in 1881; however, his cabinet was overthrown and a coalition independence.Independence, that is the only thing for Cuba.Canovas was directly responsible for the relations which existed between the United States and Spain as regards Cuba, because his instructions were so carefully followed out by Spain\u2019s representative in Washington that President Cleveland could not act friendly to Cuba.The death of Canovas cannot but help the cause of Cuba.\u2019 THE ANCIENT CAPITAL.THE QUEBEC BRIDGE.Quebec, Aug.9.\u2014Sir Charles Rivers- Wilson and Lady Wilson, accompanied by the Hon.Messrs.Borden and Fitzpatrick, Mr.J.W.Gregory and members of the Harbor Commission, were taken around the harbor on Saturday afternoon on the government steamer \u2018Druid\u2019 to inspect it, together with the proposed sites for the bridge.Sir Charles, together with the general manager of the Grand Trunk, Mr.O\u2019Shaugh- nessy of the C.P.R., and others, will attend a meeting of the Bridge Company to-day before leaving for Lake St.John.NOTES.It is now said that the alleged American skipper who not long since succeeded in fooling the revenue cutter \u2018Constance,\u2019 and running a large cargo of smuggled whiskey, was no \u2018Yankee\u2019 at all, but a genuine French-Canadian native of the soil.A project is now on foot here to re- mcve the fortification wall between the St.Louis and Kent gates and to throw the Esplanade and the grounds of the Parliament Buildings into one, with a view to the creation of a park and the greater embellishment of the Upper Town.The Minister of Militia, the Hon.Dr.Borden, who left for Montreal on Saturday evening on his wav to Boston, whence he will return to Ottawa, is not unfavorable to it, provided the expense is undertaken by the local government or the city or by both conjointly.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 CONFIDENCE MEN IN STORMONT.Cornwall, Aug.9.\u2014Mr.Stuart, a wealthy farmer of Roxboro township, was in town yesterday, and told of a rather peculiar adventure he had in the morning with confidence men.It was an old story.Number one called on Mr.Stuart and betweeen Senor Sagasta and Martinez | Campos came into office.At the crisis asked him to go and value some property.of November, 1885, on the question of | They met number two on the roadway the occupation of the Caroline Islands by | and the strangers recognized in each oth- sin, who had the appearance of an ordinary visitor, approached and fired at him point blank, one bullet passing through | the body and coming out behind, under the left shoulder, and the other two lodging in the head.He fell instantly and never recovered consciousness.Several medical men and his wife were unremitting in their attentions to the sufferer, but his wounds, unhappily, were mortal and he died in two hours.Extreme une- tion was administered amid a scene of mingled sorrow and indignation.The assassin narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of the waiters and attendants who rushed forward.Detectives and civil guards immediately secured him.He was very pale, trembled violently, and feared evidently that he would be killed on the spot.He will be first arraigned before the local magistrate at Vergara.Madrid, Aug.8\u2014(8 p.m.).\u2014Her Majesty has entrusted the presidency of the council to General Azcarraga, the Minister of War, and the Cortes will be summoned to reassemble on Tuesday.The greatest excitement and indignation prevails among all classes.All the members of the diplomatic corps have expressed their sympathy with the government.Many senators, deputies and generals, while expressing their grief and indignation, have offered to render the government all the assistance in their power.It was at first ru- mored that the assassin was one of the oo SRS.Aone ARTA (Germany, he was compelled to resign, and was succeeded by Senor Sagasta.He was elected president of the chamber the same day as the Sagasta Cabinet came into office, and was chief of the moderate Conservative party until July, 1890, when he returned to power.ber, 1891, his government again went out of office, but was again formed by him: on the old lines.Senor Canovas del Castillo was the author of numerous works in moral and political science, and a \u2018History of the House of Austria,\u2019 which is.in great repute.These publications have long since gained him admission into the Academy of Madrid.In 1875 Senor Ca- novas del Castillo received the insignia of the order of the Red Eagle from the Emperor of Germany, the Grand Cross ci the order of the Tower and Sword from the King of Portugal and the Golden Fleece from the King of Spain.Canovas came last into power on Feb.7, 1885.A number of officers had broken into and pillaged the offices of various rewspapers which had made insinuations against the conduct of officers engaged in suppressing the Cuban revolt.The War Minister seemed to support the officers; whereas, the premier, Senor Sagasta, ordered the journalists to be protected.This led to the retirement of the Minis- trv.Marshal Campos was temporarily made captain-general of Madrid, and the greatest excitement prevailed.Finally Seror Canovas formed a ministry, al though he lacked the support of a section of the Conservative party.The government was defeated on a vote of censure on June 3, 1895, but did not resign.The general elections of April, 1896, returned an overwhelming majority to the Cortes in favor of the policy of the Canovas Cabinet, though the Opposition charged that the Ministerialists carried many of the election districts by gross fraud.On June 2, last, Senor Canovas tendered the resignation of the Cabinet owing to the difficulty ministers experienced in ecarry- ing on the government in view of the parliamentary situation caused by the refusal of the Liberals to take part in the deliberations of the Cortes.Thid refusal was due to a personal encounter between the Duke of Tetuan, minister of foreign affairs, and Prof.Comas, a distinguished Liberal Senator, on May 21.After four day\u2019s conferences with the leaders of all political parties, the Queen Regent requested Senor Canovas to withdraw the resignation of the Cabinet, and he did go, being confirmed by the Crown in his ministerial powers with the personnel and policy of the Cabinet unchanged.EFFECT ON CUBA'S CAUSE.New York, Aug.88\u2014Emilio Agramonte, president of the Jose Marti Revolutionary Club, and the Marti Charity organization hère, heard the news of the killing of Premier Canovas to-night at his home on Lexington avenue and exclaimed : \u2018This is truly hard to believe.\u2019 Then he said : \u2018 Sagasta, who is head of the Liberals, will surely succeed Canovas.And I fecl certain that should Sagasta succeed Canovas he will follow the same general policy in regard to Cuba as Canovas made every effort to do.It will doubtless be his idea to bring about a relationship between Spain and Cuba as exists between England and Canada.But such a relationship Cuba will never accept.She must have complete and absolute independence.Still, it is my belief that the killing of Canovas will be a great benefit for the cause of Cuba.It mey even lead to In Novem-: ler an old acquaintance.Number two had a valise with a lot of money.The three- , carde-monte game was started and the farmer drawn in.He had only five dollars with him, but they let him win a bet of five hundred dollars on his assurance that he had the money in Cornwall.| Number two objected to losing the money until Mr.Stuart showed him his coin, and on number one\u2019s advice, be and Mr.Stuart started for Cornwall to get the -money, and to meet in a grove near Av- \u2018onmore.When Cornwall was reached, Mr.Stuart refused to draw his money out of the bank, and nuimnber one, seeing that the game was up, excused himself for a moment, and has not since been seen.A similar attempt was made to victimize a wealthy farmer in Charlottenburg last week, but failed.es DOUBLE MURDER AT NORTH ADAMS, North Adams, Mass., Aug.7.\u2014A horrible double murder was discovered in this city to-day, when the bodies of Henry J.Reed, a money-lender, and his sister, Blanche M.Reed, were found in ! their home on Webster avenue, they having evidently been killed by burglars.The house had evidently been entered during the night and the burglars discovered by Miss

Miss Reed, battered and almost unrecognizable, lay across the threshold of her bedroom door, while in his i room on the bed, concealed by the cover- : ing, lay the body of Henry Reed, gagged | and also covered with blood.In the | man\u2019s head was a wound which looked as if it had been made by a bullet, but | from the marks it was apparent that a i heavy implement of some sort had been .used to beat the head almost to a pulp.| The affair has created the greatest excitement here.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MARRIED IN CORNWALL.Cornwall, Ont., Aug.9.\u2014Mr.Alexander Aird of

manifestation of the traditional bonds uniting us and the good relations so happily established between our two meighboring empires.It is, at the same time, a precious guarantee of the maintenance of

shortly afterwards raised his glass to his host and said : \u2018I thank your Majesties with a warm heart, speaking also in the name of the Empress, for the cordial and magnificent reception you have accorded us and for the gracious words with which your Majesty has so affectionately welcomed us.I especially desire to lay at the feet of your Majesty my most sincere and most grateful thanks for the renewed mark of distinction which comes as such a surprise to me.I mean the enrolment of myself in your Majesty's glorious navy.This i= an especial honor, full extent, and an honor which, at the same time, confers a particular distine- tion upon my own navy.It is a fresh proof of the continuance of our traditional intimate relations.Founded upon the unshakable basis of your Majesty's unalterable resolutions to keep your people in peace indhe future as in the past, it finds in me also the gladdest echo.Thus we will pursue the same paths and strive peace, to guide the intellectual developments of our peoples.I can with full | confidence lay this promise anew in the hands of your Majesty, and I know 1 have the support of my whole people in doing so, that I stand by your Majesty's side with

fault, but because of the better work of the Cornwall team.In the first three games the Caps seemed to be having things prety much all their own way, and they came very near running up a score which Cornwall could not pull down.A timely change 'n the positions of the Cornwall team, however, seemed to have the result of making the factory town men settle down, and although the Capitals were in the game every inoment from start to finish, their opponents were in the winning run, and would not be denied in the latter half.It was grend lacrosse froin the start of the second game to the finish.There was no lawn tenuis or croquet about ft, and the checking on both sides was very hard.Twice the score was tied, and twice the Cornwalls took the lead, which they finally kept.The score in the last game was the most excellent ever seen at a lacrosse game.Tho crowd seeing their favorites victorious se>med to go mad with joy.Capitals\u2014Rcberison, goal; O Doherty, pt.: W.Powers, cover

field.The game started with a rush on the Caps\u2019 goal, which Robertson and Doherty relieved.The Cornwall team did not seem to have settled down, however, and the factory town defence was Boon hard pressed.The Caps were playing with all their old-uyme dash and briiliancy, and handled the ball well, while some of the Cornwall men seemed to be nervous.Geo.Carson made a fine run down field, and passed to Gleesor, who gave it to Powers, and his shot went past White.Time, 1}: minutes.The Caps were decidedly in the second gaine.be Cornwall defence had a hard seige, as the ball was kept well Into Cornwall territory.The Cornwall home were playing wildly, and missed several good chances to score, when the rubber came to their end of the field.W.Powers got an ugly cut on the head frem an accidental blow by Tobin.Giezson finally scored.Tire, minutes.It seemed to be the Capitals\u2019 game, aud when the teams lined up again, it was seen that there were several changes in the positions of the Cornwall men.W.Broder- ick ard Turner exchanged places.Louis White and Crites, moved went between the fags took his place in the field.geemed to have good effect all around, and the Cornwall home appeared to have settled down.Tobin and Brederick sent in a couple of hot shots.Murphy made it hot for Degan.Then De- gan and Powers went out for the ball.The and John White ruled Degan off 1 out too hard.With eleven men against Cornwall\u2019s homa made some desperate sallies, Turner, in particular, distinguishing himself, Play on the whole was now about even up, but the Caps were shooting better than their opponents, and Gleeson scored.Time, 7 minutes.Early in the fourth game, W.Powers was ruled off, and Cornwall for a time had the best of the play; they made several attempts to score and an objaction was made against Mr.Carpenter, because he did not see a shot which the Cornwall players claimed went through the goals before Robortson .caught It.The reféree refusod to rule tho Ancther delay was occasioned a few minutes later, when Turner was checked by James, and had to retire with a broken finger.Cornwall's spare twelve, goal, and Dagan was allowed to take his place in the field.The checking all around was hard in this game, and the Caps reerm- ed to be tiring.An attack by the Cornwall bome result-d in Black scoring.Time,l2% minutes.Cornwall had a shade the best of the fifth game.Degan and John Whise were doing grand work on Cornwall's defence field, and the Cap\u2019s defence had it hot for a while.O'Doherty was ruled for a minor followed him for a similar offence.The battle raged up and down the field, and at both erds.Both goal keepers stopped several shots.Then the Cornwall home adroft- ly drew out the Cap's defence, and Jack Broderick made a dash in and scored.Time, 13 minutes.James Broderick stopped several hot ones in the sixth game; so did Robertson: but the Caps seemed to have shot their bolt | as the Cornwall home found the secret of | for

rhecking of both teams was very hard.W.Broderick.who was now very lame, stood in front of the Caps goal, and catching the ball on a pase, scored.Time, 24, minutes.The Caps evened the score by a rush in thirty seconds.George Carson ran in from centre field and passed to Murphy, who scored.The ninth game was a great one, every man playing as if hig life depended on the result.The play was all cver tha field, and no man had a moment's rest.Again, however, W.Broderick proved to be in the right place, and his shot backwards over his shoulder again put Cornwall ahead.Time, 3% minutes.Six minutes y=t remained to play.and the Caps came out full of hope.and deter- mired to tie the score and win out.Cornwall was equally, determined that they should not.This was the hardest and fastest game of the match.The Capital defence and field rushed down to help +thcir home, but the Cornwall men rose equal tn the emergency.The spectacle was grand, and as the minutes wore away.and it became avident that

the Canadian crack, Loughead, strive for fame and prizes.| Yesterday's attendauce of fifteen thousand {was very nearly doubled to-day, when an iattendancd of between 25,000 and 27,000.In the particular of racing all the circuit men showed themselves to be in fine form,which i resulted in the closest, pretiiest and most I strategic competition that has been witnessed in a long time.Loughead, the Sarnia, Ount., lad, who carried off the honors yes- lterday, kept up his fine work to-day, but little Ear] Kiser landed on top, winning the i halt mile professional and the great mile open professional.A purse of fivo hundred dollars was divided among the winners of the latier race.Eddie Bald also added to Fis reputation, and, while no firsts appear to his credit, yet his seconds in the mile | open and the five mile professional finals | were within a hair's breadth of being ' firsts.In each race in which he competed ihe displayed remarkable judgment.Major aylor, the colored crack, was a favorite \u2018in the mile open heat, which was wou by him, and finished in grand style.For a wlitle it looked as though he would be a vinrer of the final, but the others proved too heady and fast for him, and the best \u2018the Major could do was to land a very close fourth.Among the amateurs, there was much good racing, and Peabody, Eddie Llewellyn and Charles M.Ertz put up the finest exhibition.In mest of the amateur events the riding was close, and in but few instances did the boys show any evidence of loafing.After the scheduled events had been run off, Fred.Schade, tha Virginia amateur, succeeded in breaking the world's record for one-third of a mile.Schade was paced by two quads and go: away bea'i- tifully.Hae hugged the quads closely, and finished in a terrific pace in 32 4-5 seconds, lowering Porter's record of 34 1-5 seconds, made in 1894.In addition to this there were a number of trials at the world's record for one mile amateur and professional.Church covered the three laps in 1.43 3-5, and but for the second pacing team\u2019s slowness would have chopped at least two ses- onds off the time he made.\u2018Major\u2019 Tay: lor had

another by Judge Loranger, in behalf of the French Catholics, and a third by the Hon.Dr.Guerin, in the name of the English-speaking Catholics.These addresses were all expressive of the love, loyalty and devotion of the different sections of his people towards their new bishop.In his replies, Mgr.Bruchesi was most happy, and displayed great tact and ability.In replying to the clergy, he mentioned the interest which he took in the matter of education, while his reply to the French address of the laity contained the following passage :\u2014 \u2018Let us be just towards a minority who do not profess qur faith; let us live with them in peace and harmony, and let us respect their convictions as we wish ourselves that our rights should be respected.\u201d The replv to the address in Emglish proved that Mgr.Bruchesi is a fluent speaker in both languages.He referred to the great attachment of the Irish people to their faith the world over, and expressed his satisfaction at the good work done by them in this city, and before concluding his remarks, said: \u2014\u2018Keep up your glorious record of union with vour priests whose epirit of devotion and self-sacrifice I highly appreciate, and per chance you may become strong factors in bringing about a much-desired consummation.You remember those words of the Master: they are often found on the lips of his vicar, the immortal Leo XIII.: \u2014\u201c And other sheep I have.them also I must bring.and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.\u201d (St.John x., 16.) Nor can I.end without thanking in all sincerity those kind friends from without, who have proffered their much- esteemed congratulations on the occasion of my taking possession of this Episcopal See.This I take as a harbinger of brighter things to be looked for in the near future It was two o'clock when all the proceedings were over, and the bishops and MGR.LANGEVIN, Second Assistant Bishop.clergy were then conveyed in carriages to the Grey Nunnery, where dinner had heen prepared for them.The only laymen present were the male members of the Bruchesi family.At the close of the banquet, the arch- birhop officially appointed Canon Raci- cot Vicar-General of the diocese, in the place of the late Very Rev.Canon Bourgeault.The appointment is a moat popular one, and was received with rounds of applause.His Grace also appointed Monsignor Marois, of Quebec, Honorary Canon of the Cathedral, and this announcement also caused general satisfaction.VICAR GENERAL RACICOT.Vicar-Genera!
