Washington, Aug.16.\u2014A bill for the restriction of immigration, through the so-called educational test, will doubtless be among the first submitted to Congress at its December session.It is remarkable how many changes in so short a time have come over the immigration question in its relation to our law-mak- ST.ing powers.The Klondike gold discov- >ries on the Canadian side of the boundary line will doubtless make the present Congress much more conservative than the last in regard to those features of \u201che immigration bill generally known as \u201che (oriiss amendment.These

the irvesting season and then retum to \u201cweir homes in the Dominion.To break -» these practices was the object of the \u2018orliss bill.It was readily observed Mat if we should forbid foreigners to ori for wages here, without making \u2018ans fer permanent residence, other wntries might adopt a similar policy, \u201c=a our laborers would be excluded from » railway service of Mexico and from

TO M.ANDREE.Christiana, Aug.17.\u2014Information received here confirms the story, published in a despatch from Hainmerfest, Norway, saving that one of the searchers for Herr Andree met the sealing vessel \u2018Al ken\u2019 about July 22 and was informed by her captain that one of the crew had shot a carrier pigeon between North Cape and Seven lsiands, on the north of Lapland, bearing a message from the explorer, addressed to the \u2018Afitonbladt\u2019 of Steckholm, as follows: \u2014 passed.Good Eighty-two degrees journey northward.ANDREE.The date of the message was illegible.The pigeon also carried a letter addressed to the \u2018Aftonbladt.\u2019 but the captain declined to surrender either the despatch or the pigeon and continued his voyage northward.The captain is familiar with Andree\u2019s plans and is greatly interested in them.The news arrived here very indirectly.The captain of the \u2018Alken\u2019 communicated the information referred to to the commander of the ship \u2018Inkeporg\u2019 of Tromsoe, the latter transmitted the news to the commander of the steamer \u2018Express,\u201d upon which the Lerner Polar expedition was coming home, and the 'Express\u2019 finally passed the news along to the steamer \u2018Lofoen,\u201d which brought it here.RETURNED WITHOUT THE TREASURE.Victoria, B.C., Aug.17.\u2014The sealing schooner \u2018Aurora,\u2019 which left for Locos Island on a treasure-seeking expedition early in Apr, returned to port to-day without the treasure, but bri ; namédu (be dina ha destitute on the been landed there by the Costa Rican Government with a concessison to seek for the treasure, they to have three-fifths for grub-staking him.He says he did find the buried wealth but cannot disclose its whereabouts pending an answer from the Costa Rica Government as to why they did not send him provisions every three months as promised.Captain Hackett of the \u2018Aurora\u2019 does not place much confidence in Hartford seemingly, but he does feel sure that the treasure 13 still on the island and two of the crew, named A.B.Whidden and W.Linving- stone, have remained to search for it.Mrs.Brennan, an elderly lady, formerly the wife of a Newfoundland sailor named Keating, was a passenger on the \u2018Aurora\u2019 and supplied the charts which took them to a spot evidently dug over already in one of the many fruitless searches.; >

Hon.F.Peters, Q.C,, Attorney-General and Premier of Prince Edward Island, is here in connection with the Behring Sea final argument, which opens on Aug.25.He is a guest of Sir C.H.Tupper, who is counsel before the commission for the Canadian sealers.When the \u2018Witness\u2019 correspondent called upon Mr.Peters he was up to his eyes in legal documents.\u2018How are you satisfied with the result of the elections in your province ?\u2019 was the first question asked Mr.Peters.\u2018I have every reason to be well satis Sc ra a stronger following than ever.\u201cThe parties now stand twenty to eleven.In the last House they stood twenty-two to eight.We lost two supporters through special reasons; not on the policy of the government.This loss is offset by the large majorities some of our supporters received.A hundred more votes distributed throughout the province would have wiped out the Opposition entirely and left the Conservatives in a far more deplorable position than they are in Nova Scotia to-day.In several districts the Liberal majorities were largely increased.On the other hand many of the Conservative majorities were small.Mr.Shaw, second in command of the Opposition, was elected by a majority of only four.\u2019 \u2018What kind of a fight did the Conservatives put up ?\u2019 \u2018They put up a good fight.In fact they made a determined effort to secure the government.Their strongest men were in the field?\u2018What was the main issue of the campaign ?\u2019 \u2018Our chief plank was referring to arbitration of the various claims which we have against the Dominion.That is what we really went to the country on.Your correspondent read the following item, going the rounds of the Conservative press, and asked Mr.Peters what truth there was in it.It is said in the recent elections at Charlottetown there was a deal between the Grit bosses and the liquor bosses by which the Hquor men helped the Grits in the elegtion of members one day, and the Grits helped the liquor men defeat the Scott Act next day.Prohibitionists are regretting the two elections came so close together as to favor such manipulation; but the Grit bosses appear to have run things, dates and all, to suit their own purposes.Great is the Grit plebiscite.\u2018There is not a word of truth in it,\u2019 replied Mr.Peters, with a smile.* The statement wag made in the Island press and promptly denied.The Scott act pev- ple are not responsible for its circulation, but the Conservatives, who feel sore over their defeat.We fixed a day for the general election to suit the people.The silly statement which you have just rend was an after thought.To show the absurdity of the story I have only to mention the fact that a leading Scott act man in Charlottetown, the Hon.D.Farquharson, is a member of my government \u2018I suppose the Islanders feel gratified over the honors bestowed upon Sir L.H.Davies ?\u201d \u2018Yes, everybody ie pleased, well pleased.We consider his success in England in the treaties matter a big thing.Personally I am of opinion it is the greatest thing that has happened for a long time.Sir L.H.Davies is very popular in the Island, and even his political enemies are glad to see him singled out for distinction.\u2019 TO VISIT IRELAND.Liverpool, Aug.17.\u2014The Duke and Duchess of York and their suites started this afternoon from

Salisbury to allow a Turkish occupation of Thessaly pending a partial | payment of the indemnity agreed upon.Lord Salisbury\u2019s objection is based upon a fear that an occupation thus begun might become permanent.-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 NEW YORK ANARCHISTS HELD A MEETING LAST NIGHT TO CELE- ERE RN Eid New York, Aug.17.\u2014Anarchists held a meeting last night at Clarendon Hall, en East Thirteenth street, \u2018to celebrate the death of the leading despot of Spain, Canovas del Castillo, executed by the anarchist, Michael Angelo Colli\u2019 The theme of the speches was the tortures to which anarchists innocent of specific offences have been subjected in Spanish prisons.Detectives and police were numerous at the meeting, which was a crowded one.BIE \u2014 MR.BLAIR AND THE DINGLEY BILL.Ottawa, Aug.17\u2014The Hon.A.G.Blair, Minister of Railways and Canals, returned to Ottawa yesterday afternoon after several weeks absence in the east.He will to-morrow sail for Europe.Your correspondent asked him what he thought of the attempt to so comstrue section 22 of the new United States tariff act as to injure Canadian railways.Mr.Blair replied: \u2018I think that section 22 was not framed to affect railway companies.In the amended section in the Dingley act the language has been made broader, but I do not think that it was intended to enlarge the scope of the clause as it originally stood.It may perhaps be interpreted to cover goods received by rail, but if that meaning had been attached to it the change would have aroused attention in Congress.I would not like to see our newspapers grow too warm over it.1t will be time enough for us to determine on a line of action when the clause construed edvantage of eu 5 to Washington to be careful what decision they give.THAT CORNWALL BRIDGE.PROTEST ENTERED AGAINST IT BY THE ST.LAWRENCE RIVFR FORWARDERS.DISTANCE TOO LITTLE BETWEEN THE PIERS AND THE HEIGHT INSUFFICIENT.Ottawa, Aug.17.\u2014A deputation repre senting the forwarding and rafting interests using the St.Lawrence river, waited on Mr.Blair to-day to oppose the construction of the bridge over the St.Lawrence opposite Cornwall, contemplated by the Ottawa & New York Railway Company, unless the plans are altered so ag to widen the distance between the piers and to increase the height.It is said that the bridge will be an obstruction to navigation and the report that Major Stanton, appointed by the Washington authorities to investigate the question, had reported in its favor is denied.Major Stanton was conducting his enquiry only a week ago.The United States authorities are said to have killed the Brockville bridge project some time ago.Mr.Calvin, ex-M.P., and Mr.Leslie of Kingston, Mr.Hibbard of the railway, and Mr.Rubidge, government engineer, were those who met Mr.Blair, BLOW AT THE C.P.R.WAS AIMED BY THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC, BUT FELL SHORT.Winnipeg, Man., Aug.17.\u2014The Southern Pacific has sent out a letter asking all the roads in the ccuntry to unite with it in passing commissions on business coming from China and Japan over its Pacific steamship lines in order to hit a blow at the Canadian Pacific and its steamships plying via Vancouver.Both the eastern and western lines have refused to give the matter consideration.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 TRADE WITH FRANCE.Toronto, Aug.17.\u2014The \u2018Evening Telegram\u2019s\u2019 special cable from London says : \u2018The Paris \u2018Figaro\u2019 publishes an interview with the Canadian premier in which the latter is quoted as saying that Canadians would be quite ready to develop commercial intercourse with France.He believed that a tariff favorable to hoth Canada and France would be established, and that in view of the denunciation of the treaties with Germany and Belgium by Great Britain he thought an advan- IN IMMINENT PERIL.Kingston, Ont., Aug.17.\u2014The \u2018Whig,\u2019 noting the demand for an imvestigation into the touching of steamers in the La- chine Rapids, remarks :\u2014\u2018The government must act, and should see that purely neutral and independent officials conduct the inquiry.Two valuable sleamers and three hundred lives were placed in as imminent peril as ever happens and escape follow.The blame must be placed wherever it lies, independent of favor or sympathy, and the punishment should be exemplary.Too much of public safety is at stake for a case of this nature to be lightly passed over.\u2019 LONDON \u2018TIMES\u2019 THINKS IT UNLIKELY THAT THEY WILL BE REOPENED.NOTWITHSTANDING THE THREATS OF BIMEKTALLISTS AND THE PRESENCE OF THE COMMISSION IN LONDON.London, Aug.17.\u2014The \u2018Times\u2019 publishes a two-column special article to-day reviewing the effects of closing the Indian mints, in connection with the visit of the American bimetallic commission.The article comments on the \u2018character- itsic crudeners and boldness of American diplomacy in sending a bimetallic commission to ask for the reopening of the Indian mints, at the same time dealing the worst possible blow at British commerce by passing the Dingley tariff.The closing saved the Indian Government from the losses incident to a heavy fall in exchange, and corsequently from a disastrous increase in the burden of its gold obligations.It is undoubtedly true that it also helped to keep down the gold value of silver bullion, but may not the question be raised whether the low price of silver is necessarily disastrous to India which purchases it so largely ?Since 1893 India has been the only real wholesale customer for silver.Other customers arc & the retail order.The delicate adjustment of the relative prices of the rupee and silver formerly existing | ji.nidely.: ahättered \u2018by .récent \u2018events.Since 18868 the rupee has risen and silver has fallen.The fact is the forces now acting upon the price of silver have become too tremendous to be dominated by such delicate influences as preceded the defeat of Bryan\u2019s silver party and Japan\u2019s adoption of the gold standard.The events have proved causes too potent to be withstood.\u2019 \u2018It is clearly impossible,\u2019 says the writer, \u2018to treat seriously a commission which argues that unless we do something for silver the next election in the United States will return Mr.Bryan to the White House, to the lasting injury of British interests.It is not certain that Mr.Bryan will be elected.It is not even certain that if he were elected we would suffer more than we should from a new McKinley with another Me- Kinley act.Moreover, British investors in American securities have timc before the next Presidential election and before the crash to get rid of them.One thing is certain.We should be very foolish to do anything for silver.Even should the United States and France agree to adopt bimetallism and England to reopen the Indian mints, it would only bolster up silver for a brief space, t» fall again to its proper market price, so that Indian finances would be in a position as bad as before, if not worse than before.\u2019 The article, in concluding, says :\u2014*\u2018The closing of the mints was justified, and all that is now needed to bring a great experiment to a successful ending is a little courage and patience, as well as resource on the part of the financiers of the Indian empire.At the same time, plain and straightforward language is advisable upon one point: The Indian statesmen tampered too long with bi metallism.This flirtation which szems go innocent amd innocuous has already cost them dear.But for that the government would have assented to the closing of the mints long before 1893.\u2019 London, Aug.17.\u2014The \u201cWestminster Gazette,\u201d this afternoon, echoes the editorial of the London \u2018Times\u2019 this morning, on bi-metallism, cabled to the Associated Press, and says it sees no chance of the Indian mints being reopened to the coinage of silver, adding: \u2018To fool any longer with President Me- Kinley\u2019s commission is surely unnecessary.In declining to abide by the market value of silver as the standard of currency value, India has taken a step towards demonetizing silver.Japan and Russia have adopted the gold standard, and no one means to go back on it.Then, why not say so, and not be deterred by the threats of a possible Bryan- ite victory, and dismisg the question finally.\u2019 \u2014_\u2014\u2014 HELD UP BY TRAIN ROBBERS.Kansas City, Mo., Aug.17.\u2014A southbound passenger train on the Santa Fe rcad was held up near Edmund.Okla- hema, at

evening to prepare a reception to Sir Wilfrid Laurier on his return from Kurope, a strong committee was named to decide upon the nature of the Tecen- tion, which it is now believed will take the form of a great public demonstration at Victoria Park in the heart of Sir Wilfrid's own constituency of Quebec East, A DISOORDANT NOTE.Quebec, Aug.17.\u2014The \u2018Courrier au Canada,\u201d the organ of Sir Hector Lange- vin and Mr.Thomas Chapais, literally boils over with rage at the idea of Conservatives joining in the demonstrations in honor of Sir Wilfrid Laurier on his return to Canada.It says it is quite natural for Liberals to jubilate on the occasion, to go into ecstacies over the return of their idol, covered with decorations; but for Conservatives to bow themselves before him and to rejoice at his home-coming would be the very depth of self-debasement.To them, he is the same liar and traitor, the chum of Tarte and the accomplice of Greenway, the phrase-maker without principle, the politician without doctrine and the minister without a word, who has no right to any truce whatever.It warns its party friends that, although they are told that the demonstrations are not party affairs, everything with the Liberals has a political significance and it concludes as follows: \u2018Let them therefore welcome their hero of the present hour alone.The pomps of triumph, the flowers and the cheers will pass away; but justice and truth will remain.And let us not forget that the fatal rock from which traitors were hunted was only a step from the Capitol where rose the temple of Victory.\u2019 FRANCE AND SIAM.\u2014 REPORTED CONFLICT ON THE MEKONG CONFIRMED.+ heres - REVUE LA EE New York, Aug.17.\u2014A despatch to the \u2018Herald\u2019 from Bangkok, Siam, says :\u2014 The reports of a conflict beiween the French and Siamese troops on the Mekong river are absolutely correct.They are based on reports received at the Siamese foreign office.The French forces were commanded

THE THREE IMPRISONED CHINA- MEN LIBERATED.\u2014\u2014 Judge Wurtele rendered judgment, yesterday afternoon, on the petition for hab- eas corpus, in the case of Lon Kai Long, alias Long Wing, Tom Hop Lee, and Hum Chung Lung, three Chinamen imprisoned for not paying the special laundry tax.After referring to the by-law passed by the Council imposing an annual tax of $50 upon every public laundry, under the powers granted the city by its amended charter, the learned judge mentioned the section of such charter which empowers the city to impose a fine, with or without costs, or an imprisonment for every infraction of any of the by-laws, and when a fine is imposed and not immediately paid, then the above mentioned imprisonment follows, but in such case, the imprisonment must cease if, at any time before the term decreed, the amount of the fine pure and simple be paid, the law demanding no addition of any costs, or other charges.Now, in its by-law the city enacted that release from imprisonment in cases such as those at issue, could be obtained only upon payment of and the costs, which enactment exceeds the powers given by the charter.Relying on the provisions above mentioned the three present petitioners alleged and complained that the warrants of commitment under which they were detained were in excess of the power conferred upon the corporation, as they were asked to pay not only the tax and costs, but also the charges for their conveyance to jail.The learned judge remarked that while the statute invoked required only payment of the fine imposed, without costs, the city by-law itself only mentioned the fine and costs, and made no reference to charges for conveyance, so that the pre- stint commitments exceeded the intea- tions of both the empowering statute and the by-law itself.Laws which impose penalties are subject to a strict construction, and the purishment and all its incidents must be mentioned in clear and unambiguous language, they must be established by Positive enactment, and cannot be gath- éred from implication, and still less by * _ _\u2018{'éonjecture.Statutes which give costs in SPECTACLES-ÿ a Lee Louer \u2018gtrued strietly, inasmuch as such costs enal proceedings, are likewise to be con- are an.increment of the penalty.In aws imposing penalties and allowing costs in penal proceedings, the rule is that the construction most beneficial to the offenders must be adopted.One of the incidents of the punishment by imprisonment, in consequence of the failure to pay the fine and costs, is a mode of obtaining a discharge before the expiration of the full term of the imprisonment, and this, according to the exact words of the statute, authorizing the imprisonment, consists merely in the payment of the fine imposed, and we can add nothing to it by conjecture or implication.In the cases at issue, two of the sums \u2014 \u2018mentioned in the commitments, not being due as regards the condition on \u2018which liberation can be obtained, said \u2018| commitments were bad in that respect and consequently bad on the whole.The judgment therefore declared the commit- \u2018ments to be irregular, bad and illegal, quashed them, and ordered the keeper of the jail to discharge and free the petitioners.- Judge Wnurtele having stated.after .the judgment, that he had very grave doubts as to the legality of the by-law in its present form, Mr.St.Pierre said that the point would be raised in the petitions for certiorari, notices of which had been given the Recorder in the one hundred and fifty cases decided lately.HEBREW

COMMITTEE.THE OVERBEARING CONDUCT OF THE GAS COMPANY VENTILATED.Previous to the meeting of Council yesterday afternoon the Road Committee held à meeting.A long letter was 1ead from the city surveyor, dealing with the way in which the Gas Company were cutting up the streets, especially Ontario street.Fo numerous and close together were the cuts in the latter street that in order to make a respectable repair it had been suggested to the Gas Company that one big cut be made and repaired in one piece, which the company refused to do.Mr.Barlow, the deputy city surveyor, had been sent to see the company\u2019s officials as to the measuring of the cuts, but had been insulted by low was favoring the contractors.The letter further stated that the.opinion of the city attorney was to the effect that the Gas Company could employ anybody they pleased to make their repairs; Mr.St.George,! however, thought it would be well, before the city took action, to draw the attention of the city attorney to the city\u2019s contract with the paving company, to see whether such an y action on the city\u2019s part would not break tthe contract with the paving people.He { would also suggest that the city attor- iney\u2019s attenion be drawn to what kind of | repairs the Gas Company were obliged | to make, as certainly patching holes, | which were close together on a well pav- | ed street, would not be leaving the istreet in the same condition in which they found it.| It was resolved to refer the letter to | the city attorney for his opinion.| The platform at Belle-Rive Park was ; reported to be rotten and in a dangerous condition.The repairs necessary ! would cost $7,000.This was referred to | the Finance Committee, as was also an- j other report from the City Surveyor i concerning the wooden sidewalks which iin many places were bad and really dan- | gerous.The appropriation for side- | walks was exhausted, and more money | was needed to place those in repair that needed it.ee COURT OF APPEAL.The following is a list of cases inscribed for hearing in the Court of Appeal during the term which will open on Sept.15.City cases\u2014Stevenson and Brais, Potvin and

Friends,\u2014At a recent meeting of this County Lodge, called especially to consider the death of our late beloved Bro.David Grant, it was unanimously resolved that an official letter of sympathy and condolence should be forwarded to you, expressing our great sorrow and regret at the removal from amongst us of so true and worthy a brother.Mis continued uprightness of character.and his general devotion to our Order, more particularly in the time of trouble, when the future welfare of the Association in this city and the province of Quebec depended upon his integrity, had won for him a place in our hearts, and we now mourn his departure with true and genuine sorrow.We rejoice to know, however, that he lived to witness the fulfilment of some of his most cherished hopes, \u2018in the upbuilding and uplifting of our uoble Association in the province of Quebec.We cannot forget the great losses he sustained both in anxiety of mind as well as in personal estate, and his memory will ever=remain fresh in the hearts of the friends he has left behind.We ask you to accept these expressions of our sympathy in the same spirit in whichgthey are given, and to believe that each of us who had the pleasure of knowing him shall ever remember Brother Grant as a true and worthy Orangeman, a warm friend, and a Christian brother.We pray that our Heavenly Father may reveal himself in a very special manner at this time to each of you as a very present help in trouble, and that he mey shine in upon vour hearts, enabling vou ali to bear witn Christian fortitude this affliction which he has in his supreme wisdom allowed to visit you.We are, dear friends, Yours very faithfully, (On behalf of County Orange Lodge) Wilfrid T.Cox, C.X¥.: Alex.Geo.Ells, CS; S.W.Mason, P.G.C.; A.Mackey, PC.M.;

WITNESS.THE INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACE.Smead How the \u2018Glencairn \u2014 A GREAT RACE 1 II Won Yesterday.N A GOOD WIND.The Sailing of the Boats Contrasted.At eleven o'clock when the committee | hcat with the \u2018 Glencairn\u2019 and the stake- boat reached the starting line for the triangular race the sky was still overcast, but there was a steady full-sail breeze from south-west-one-half west that promised to grow stronger as the day lengthened.The committee decided upon leaving all buoys to starboard and accordingly the starting line was laid out to the south-west on the starboard hand, and the blue peter was hoisted at 11.20.The two boats at this time were some distance away but both ran down to the committee boat just before the preparatory gun, and received final instructions.Just before the starting gun was fired at 11.35 the \u2018 Momo\u2019 was up above the line to the northward and leeward of it, and the \u2018 Glencairn\u2019 was to the southward of it, and to leeward.She went about under the stern of the committee boat and went across at the whistle with sheets ccming in to hard down and the white spray flying from her lee bow.The \u2018 Momo\u2019 ran down from the windward position, came about to leeward of the line, and went about on port tack and went across without any speed on and with a handicap of twenty or thirty seconds.The \u2018 Glencairn\u2019 was carrying all | plain sail, and a new jib with the cloths running parallel with the luff.The \u2018Momo\u2019 carried her magnificent Wilson and Silsby cross-cut mainsail, and a small jib which was almost an equatorial tri angle.The work was very quick and sharp.The \u2018 Glencairn\u2019 planked herself squarely on the \u2018Momo\u2019s\u2019 weather every time the latter went about, but soon she had so widened out the distance between her and her antagonist, that her wea ther berth became a lead to windward and the \u2018 Momo\u2019 broke tacks and stood to the southward.From this time onward the two boats sailed perfectly independent of each other.The windward mark was rounded | as follows : i gain.\u2018Glencairn IIS os ee.0 11.53.42.1.83.\u2018Momo\u2019 .1155.35.It was a reach on port tack to the inshore buoy and the \u2018 Glencairn\u2019 opened a big stretch of water between herself and the \u2018 Momo\u2019 before the latter rounded.It was freshening all the time and the speed of the boats on the reach was phenomenal.The inshore buoy was rounded as follows :\u2014 time.gain.\u201c Glencairn II\u2019 .12.220 \u2018Memo\u2019.12404.9s.Both boats jibed at this mark, and as this involved jibing over the balloon jibs, it was a pretty piece of work.Soon after rounding the \u2018Glencairn II\u201d began to luff up and the \u2018Momo\u2019 followed her, then the \u2018Momo\u2019s\u2019 peak dropped, the \u2018Glencairn IT.\u2019s\u2019 followed and both boats, turned in two reefs.After this was done, and it was dome sharply on both boats, but a little better on the \u2018Glen- cairn 11.\u2019 than on the \u2018Momo,\u2019 both boats stood for the line, dowsing balloons as they passed the buoy, and holding on to the starboard tack until almost up to the stake boat, and crossing the lime on port tack.The time was as follows: Gain \u2018Glencairn 11.\" .1212.14 \u2018Momo\u2019 .12.13.41 17 The Momo\u2019 had, therefore, gained 26 seconds on the two leeward legs.The wind was still freshening, and the short vicious sea of Lake St.Louis was rising fast, and with a reef down both boats had all they wanted.The \u2018GGlencairn Il was from the start evidently doing better than her antagonist.She was holding a better wind and going up to windward in every puff as if the harder it blew the better she liked it, while the \u201cMomo,\u201d although with two reefs in, was not holding up, or making good weather, and the puffs bothered her a good deal.The sea began to wash her fore and aft also.She had to make a whole extra tack to make the buoy after the \u2018Glencairn TI.\u201d rounded it.The time at the windward mark on the second round was: ! Gain | 12.33.21 2.32 12.37,10 The reach in was a repetition of the first, but the jib at the inshore mark was a somewhat more serious matter than it had been.The inshore buoy on the second round was turned as follows: Time Gain \u2018Gilencairn 11.7 .12.41.31 none \u2018Momo\u2019 .12.45.20 On the reach back to the finish line the peaks came down again, and the second reef was turned in on the \u2018Glen- cairn JI.\u201d and the \u2018Momo\u2019 turned in a third and dowsed her jib.The finish of the second round was timed as follows: Time Gain \u2018(lencairn II 12.50.52 \u2018Momo\u2019 .ve 12.54.06 45 It was now blowing hard, most of the \u2018Glencairn TI.\u201d .\u2018Momo\u2019 .driven down to leeward or had anchored and were putting in all their reefs.\u2018Glen- cairn II.\u201d with two reefs in and a number two jib, crossed the line for the last round in splendid trim, going fast and making good weather of it.The \u2018Momo\u2019 went across under a three-reefed mainsail only and had all the eail she wanted.The \u2018Glencairn II.\u201d kept going and going fairly well all the time, but the \u2018Momo\u2019 seemed to stop pretty often, and although it was pretty much a worry through for both boats the \u2018Glencairn II.\u2019 seemed to fetch further to windward with each tack.The time at the windward buoy was: ;

the \u2018Glen- cairn.II.\u201d is the fastest to windward, the most able and \u2018the most seaworthy of the two boats.On the reach from the windward buoy to the inshore buoy, which was in every way the fairest test of the reaching qualities of the boats, the \u2018Momo\u2019 gained, but her gains were trifling.She seemed to suffer less from the disturbance to speed incidental to reefing than did the \u2018Glencaim IL\u2019 on the last reaching leg of the first two rounds, probably because her heavier construction makes her less susceptible to these disturbances than is the \u2018Glencairn II.\u2019 but her superiority in reaching in a breeze and a sea is not very marked ; not nearly as marked as her superiority in running in a light air.The point which the third race must decide is simply whether the \u2018Momo\u2019s\u2019 speed down wind is sufficiently great to overcome the \u2018Glencairn IL.\u2019s\u2019 superiority to windward, for from the result of the two races that have been sailed it is evident that the \u2018Glencairn II.\" has a superiority to windward in any breeze that stretches the canvass of both boats to such a point that: the \u2018Momo\u2019s\u2019 superiority in this re- spèct disappears, as it undoubtedly does.That the result of the match was largely a question of weather, that the \u2018Momo\u2019 can win in light airs and the \u2018Glencairn IT\u201d in a good breeze, is superficially the thing that seems most probable, but the hoats are too good to admit of much in the way of prophesying at this time.etl OBITUARY.MR.F.P.RUBIDGE.Mr.Frederick Preston Rubidge, for thirty years -architcct of the Public Works\u2019 Department, Ottawa, and one of the most eminent members of his profession in the Dominion, passed away yesterday at his residence, 37 Victoria street, in the ninety-second year of his age.The deceased was superannuated in 1872, previous to which he was actively employed on the parliamentary and departmental buildings, and superintended the construction, midway up Parliament Hill, of the picturesque path known as the \u2018Lovers\u2019 Walk\u2019 The first few years after retiring from the civil service Mr.Rubidge spent at Ottawa, removing then to Hamilton, and some fourteen years ago to Montreal.He was predeceased only three weeks ago by his wife, who was eighty-three vears of age.MR.DUGALD GRAHAM.The death has occurred at Sparkil), N.Y., of Mr.Dugald Graham, a many- years\u2019 resident of Montreal, and one who took a large part in her affairs.Mr.Graham was born sixty years ago in the county of Middlesex, Ont., and after graduating at one of the universities at an early age, he entered into commercial pur- sailing craft about the lake had been Ea Toh, pee suits.lle was nineteen years a director and for thirteen years manager of the A.Phillips Square.\"NEW GOODS Arriving Daily!

BISMARCK.Berlin, Aug.16.\u2014From Duke John Al brecht of Mecklenburg, who has just visited Prince Bismarck, it is learned that the Prince disapproves of the Emperor William's visit to the Czar, and its ac- corupanying features, as calculated to arouse hopes in the Russian mind which Germany later may be unable to fulfill, especially in the matter of further Asiatic conquests.The results of the Emperor\u2019s visit to St.Petersburg, so far as prssible, are what the Emperor wished, especially as regards Great Britain.Henceforth that country upon all important occasions, will find Russia and Germany in her way.A general under- stending to that effect has been definitely reached, not only between the two rulers.but between Count Muravieff, the Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Prince Hohenlohe, the German Imperial Chancellor, and Baron Von Bulow.It is a curious fact that the tone of the entire Russian press changed during the Fmperor Willlam\u2019s stay at St.Peters- lurg and became frankly Anglophobe.The newapapers of Russia, which have hitherto heen constantly hostile to Germany, like the \u2018 Novoe Vremya and the \"Wyedomosti,\u201d now welcome the Emper- cv William as a new ally.> THE STRIRING MINERS ILL MEET TO-NIGHT TO DECIDE UPON FUTURE ACTION.Pittsburg.Pa., Aug.16.\u2014A meeting of the officials of every labor organization in the city of Pittsburg has been called at the headquarters of the Amalgamated Asrociation of Iron and Steel Workers to-night to hold a conference with and take such action as may be asked by the local officers of the United Mine Workers Union of America.It has been anticipated that the hearing.on the injunction to be held to-day may go against them, and the temporary res- trarnt put on the miners now in camp at Turtle Creek and the other mines of the New York and Cleveland (as C'oal Company as to marching and persuading the De Armitt men from working may Le made permanent.In that event, it is expected that the order of the court will be disobeyed, so that a test may be had, and the miners will continue to march to the mmes.Hazelton, Pa., Aug.16.\u2014Matters at the L.ehigh and Wilkesbarre collieries in the Ilonerbrook district are growing serious, The five hundred drivers went out on ~aturday for an increase in wages.This morning 2,500 miners joined them.and tie usually quiet south side towns are in a state of subdued excitement.The men had no organization but a branch of the United Mine Workers\u2019 Association was started this morning, and six hundred men at once signified their willingness to jcin.The men held a meeting last nigat and decided to make the strike general this morning.The entire force of coal and iron police, carrying Winchester rifles, were on hand to guard the cdfllieries.The strikers ass2mbled on the hill above the works and a erowd of three hundred men marched past the deputics to the breaker.At a signal the men at work left their places.The deputies did not attempt to molest the men.Interference by the deputies would, it is believed, have precipitated a riot as the men were determined and armed.The feeling is now so bitter against Superintendent Jones that he fears bodily harm and moves about with an armed escort.His house ia guarded day and night, Superinten dent Jones this morning offered to meet the demands of the drivers, hut the men are now determined to have all their grievances heard, and will appeal to the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre officers in New York.Charleston, W.Va., Aug.16.\u2014Judge Jackson's injunction orders were issued here

aid revolt against the Indian Government, which makes and unmakes the rulers of Cabul.His return to fidelity to British-Indian interests, if real and sincere, will, however, make the task of the British in restoring order much easier and less costly in blood and treasure than it would otherwise have been.The Ameer is avaricious, and values his subsidy, which of course would be immediately stopped if he encouraged revolt against the British in India.Since the assassination of Sir Louis Cavagnari the British have not maintained a Resident at Cabul, but there are quite a number of Englishmen in the employ of the Ameer, and an Englishwoman resides as the physician of the women of his family at the palace.\u2014\u2014 MR.TARTE'S RIDICULOUS PLAX.The Harbor Commission deserves much credit for the firmness with which it has opposed the scheme of Mr.Tarte to cripple not only the present but the future usefulness of the central and most valuable part of the harbor.The commission in its opposition to Mr.Tarte has at its back the Board of Trade, the Corn Exchange, the steamship companies, the grain and provision trades and, in fact, the entire wholesale trade of the city.All these interests Mr.Tarte calls a clique which is opposed to the progress of the port of Montreal, and with amazing presumption claims for himself and, possibly, Mr.Coste the distinction of being the only human beings concerned who have the interests of the harhor at heart, or who have sufficient knowledge of the needs of the port to be able to provide for them.Does it not strike even Mr.Tarte himself as supremely ridiculous for him to assume this position, he who has not and never had any business connection with or experience of the port, and never has had and has not one cent at stale in its business ?Does he not feel how absurd it is of him to charge all the business interests concerned, whose future prosperity depends upon the prosperity of the port, with having no knowledge of the requirements of their own business and no regard for the efficiency and progress of the harbor with which their own progress is bound up.1f Mr.Tarte has not sense enough of humor to see what a ridiculous figure he cuts it is to be hoped that there are other members of the gcvernment who will not allow him to bring them and the government into ridicule by his course.The publication of the plans for harbor improvement of the cemmission and a comparison of them with the plan designed by the order of Mr.Tarte has made plain to the public what was all along well known to those charged with the care of the harbor, that Mr.Tarte\u2019s plan was designed for no other possible purpose than that of restricting as far as he dared the accommodation both now and in the future of the central portion of the harbor.Plan Number Six, selected from among plans designed by capable and efficient engineers, was chosen by the harbor en- | gineer and city engineer and was sanc- ep seve We at eR Te rT Ly EEE Fv CIR REY i ering the surface of the ground three THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.tioned by the City Council, by the Harbor Commission, by the Board of Trade, by the Chambre de Commerce and by all the business interests.It had five piers and provided accommodation for nineteen or twenty steamships.Mr.Tarte would have the public believe that the engineers who designed this plan and all the business interests which sanctioned it were such egregious fools that they put five long piers where there was room only for three short ones.At Mr.Tarte\u2019s three piers only eight steamships can lie, as compared with mineteen steamships along the piers of Plan Number Six.Mr.Tarte's plan shows five vessels along the ground wharves but of these, three, according to steamship men, cculd not be conveniently got into or out of the positions in which they are shown.All the business interests con- | cerned are probably still of the opinion that Plan Number Six is not only feasible but by far the best yet designed.But in view of the opposition of Mr.Tarte to providing so much accommodation for the port where it is demanded, the commission, which, it must be remembered, cannot, unless it wants to lose the appropriation, do anything without the sanction of the government, in order to at once get if possible some of the necessary accommodation needed, has had prepared successive modifications of Plan Number Six, all giving less accommodation than the original, The least accommodating of these plans gives better accommodation at once than Mr.Tarte's plan, and leaves it open in the future to have a fourth, or third, fourth and fifth pier in giving additional accommodation.This is what Mr.Tarte is opposed to most determinedly.His object is\u2018 to prevent the addition of piers in future, and to this end his plan has its three short piers distributed over the invaluable space of harbor frontage which gives room for the five piers of Plan Number Six.If Mr.Tarte's three piers are built in the position designed for them they will block the way to future additional piers.The commissioners have modified Plan Number Six in every way possible to lessen present accommodation which would not sacrifice the future ; they have proposed the construction of two long piers of Plan Number Six only, have proposed three shorter ones, leaving, two to_be constructed in future; have proposed four long piers distributed ovér the whole frontage, but all in vain.Mr.Tarte wants the sacrifice of the whole frontage to three short piers, and nothing else will satisfy him.Mr.Tarte objected to the commissioners\u2019 modified plan, that the basins were too narrow to admit two steamships lying at opposite piers with accompanying elevators and grain barges alongside, and at the same time have space enough between the two sets of veseels for the passage of a third steamship to or from an inside berth.Such a gathering of vessels would be extremely rare and could be avoided, but even when it did | occur pilots and sailors point out \u2018that there could be no difficulty, for one of the barges could be moved out of the way for the short time necessary to admit the passage of another vessel.One of the modified plans shows basins three hundred and twenty-five feet wide, which is ever wider than necessary to have u passage for the greatest steamship after necessary accommodation to two steamships opposite one another in the same basin, with their complements of barges and elevators.The greatest steamship has a width of fifty-six feet, the widest elevators 4wenty- six feet, and the biggest barge forty feet; the three lying alongside one another would occupy one hundred and twenty- two feet.Two sets composed of the largest vessel of each kind, a most unlikely gathering, would occupy therefore two hundred and forty-four feet.In a basin three hundred and twenty-five feet wide they would leave a passage therefore of eighty-one feet, or twenty-five feet wider than the biggest steamship.Mr.Tarte\u2019s basins are five hundred feet wide, providing a Dbrobdignagian passage of two hundred and .fifty-six feet for a vessel of fifty-six feet.That Mr.Tarte can have no other purpose than that of wasting valuable space of the harbor is made clear by these figures.giving the DISASTROUS COLORADO STORMS.Pueblo, Colo., Aug.16.\u2014Storms around Pueblo damaged railways north, west and south.Twenty miles north of Pueblo hail fell in great quantities and drifted to a depth of three feet, in some places cov- inches.Twenty miles south of Pueblo a cloud-burst sent Salt Creek and the At- tovas on a tear and damaged a thousand feet of Denver and Rio Grande tracks besides the approaches to several bridges.oT Aa a a POST-QFFICE INVESTIGATION.ALLEGED REASONS FOR DEMANDING IT.À correspondent takes objection to.a statement which appeared in the \u2018Witness\u2019 of Thursday last, which formed part of an article headed \u2018Post-office Reform.\u2019 In speaking of a demand for inveetiga- tion in the affaire and working of tho Montreal post-office, made by certain Liberal politicians, some months ago, the article spoke of the terms of the plan of reconstruction and said it ineluded the dismissal of all who had taken any part in the recent campaign.Following thia were words to the effect that \u2018certain English-speaking officials were to be removed, not for any fault in particular, but who were objected to on the ground that their presence in the post-office was inimical to that oneness of feeling and sentiment which, it seems, can only be obtained when the men and the language are those of the majority.The schemers ; did not hesitate 10 name names.Mr.Palmer, the deputy post-master, was to be deposed.He was objectionable to certain parties because he had not encouraged certain promotions, because he tried to conduct the business of the office upon sound commercial principles, because he preferred, when it wes at all possible, to recognize merit, rather than political influence.\u2019 The correspondent then offers what he states are simple facts upon which this investigation was demanded.He alleges that during the past five or six years the post-office has been very badly administered, Mr.Daneereau being postmaster only in name.Mr.Palmer was objectionable because he encouraged promotions that were not deserving and objected to others solely on personal grounds, because he preferred political influence to merit.The correspondent further states that Mr.Palmer has conducted the business of the office as a personal matter rather than on sound commercial principles.All these charges and more form the reasons for which the investigation was demanded.so the correspondent says, and he adds that both the French and English-speaking officials were united in their opinion regarding these accusations.The letter concludes with the expression of hope for a thorough investigation, which will satisfy the public.seein.MANITOBA CROPS.THE GOVERNMENT TO ISSUE ITS REPORT ABOUT THE END OF THE WEEK.Winnipeg, Aug.17.\u2014The publication of the Manitoba government crop bulletin has been delayed by the tardiness of correspondents in sending in their reports.it will be issued towards the end of the week.The mild turn taken in the weather yesterday morning has reassured many pessimistic people, who were finding abundant cause to fear colder weather than warmer weather.There has been too much rain in some districts, but others were in need of moisture.Mr.Thomas Elstob has just returned from a trip through the entire Assiniboine river district in Central Manitoba.He is pleased wth the growing wheat in this territory, and made the following est{- mates : Carman settlement will average about eighteen bushels to the acre; Bush- well, twenty bushels ; Treherne, twenty- five bushels; Holland, twenty-two bushels ; Cypress and Glenboro, sixteen bushels.These estimates are approximat=, and a fair impartial caleulation from forty years\u2019 experience.The greatest draw- hack to the yield in the whole territory 15 the number of dead heads of grain, varying from fifteen to twenty percent of the crop.The cause of these dead heads is a mystery at present, but Mr.Elstob 1s of the opinion that it is the wire worm killing the root of the growing stalk.peter MR.SHAUGHNESSY IN THE WEST, DISCUSSES THE BONDING PRIVILEGES AND CROW'E NEST PASS.Winnipeg, Aug.17.\u2014Mr.T.G.Shaugh- nessy, vice-president of the C.P.R., interviewed here regarding the threatened abolition of bonding privileges by the United States, said :\u2014 I bave nothing new to say in regard to this at present.We expect that in the next few days the Attorney-General will give an opinion as to the legal interpretation of the clause of the act relating to the importation through Canada from foreign countries of goods destined to United States points.Any effect that an adverse opinion might have on the C.P.R.traffic by way of Vancouver would be far less important than the effect upon the traffic of the St.Lawrence lines and the ships trading to Halifax and St.John, which bring large quantities of goods from the British Iz- lands and Continental countries for the United States.\u2018Is the company seriously considering the building of a line from Edmonton to the Athabasca landing to facilitate travel to the Yukon ?\u2019 was asked.\u2018We have not the necessary information to enable us to decide as to the practicability of the scheme.In any case, the line from Calgary to Edmonton does not belong to us nor is it controlled in any way by the C.P.R.\u2018Has the alien labor law in any way affected the progress of the work on the Crow\u2019s Nest Pass ¥ \u2018 Not in the slightest, we have found ample supply of Canadian labor for the demand.mes ATE POISONED SOUP.Rochester, N.Y., Aug.16.\u2014The family of Howard Langlois,

YESTERDAY.SOME PLEASANT REMARKS BY THOSE PRESENT.The luncheon tendered the visiting scientists yesterday afternoon by the authorities of McGill University, was a most \u2018recherche\u2019 affair, heartily appreciated by those in whose honor it was given.Over a hundred and fifty ladies and gentlemen sat down to the table, which had been arranged along the William Molson Hall.Mr.Hugh McLennan occupied the chair.On his right hand sat Lord Lister, while upon his left the pre- sident-elect of the British Association\u2014 Sir John Evans\u2014was seated.At the same table were the governors, professors and friends of the university.At the conclusion of the luncheon, the company rose and sang \u2018God Save the Queen.\u2019 The chairman proposed the toast of the British Association, coupling with it the name of Lord Lister.In doing so graceful words of appreciation were uttered for the honor which had been done Montreal and Canada in 1884 by the meeting of the asanciation in the commercial metropolis of the country.The compliment was the more marked in that it proved that, in addition to material progress made, Canada had given some attention to the higher pursuits of intellect.The occasion, therefore, marked an epoch in their development.And certainly Canada had made much progress during the last sixty years, A glance was directed at our past history, dating from the time the Queen ascended the throne.There was the difficulty of making long journeys, the insignificance of the present capital of the country, the poor showing of fifteen miles of railway in the whole country.There was even the reminder of our currency, of which Mr.McLennan produced an example in the shape of paper with the Molson mark upon it.All this was contrasted with the advance which had been made.Withal, the tone was modest, and the company found the recital interesting, to judge by the applause with which the speaker was greeted.The second meeting of the association in Canada marked a still further intellectual advance, with which they had every reason to feel satisfaction.The chairman said gracious words of welcome, hoped that Montreal would be once more honored by the association, which was now to meet in Toronto, the people of which deserved the utmost praise for their zeal and enterprise, and read a letter from Sir William Dawson conveying his good wishes for a auccessful meeting of the association, and regretting his inability to be present at the reception by McGill, and a telegram from Mr.Peterson, the principal, expressive of his good wishes, Lord Lister, in replying to the toast of the British Association, said he oould assure the authorities of McGill that they were all under the deepest obligations to them for the courtesies of which they had been the recipients.They had been entertained in the most princely manner, and when their number was considered, and the shortness of the time, he for one did not know how it could be done.The repast which had been spread before them was of the most sumptuous nature, worthy of any place or occasion.As for what they had seen of the McGill University, he could only say that it had been an inexpressible pleasure to go through the different departments and note the efficiency and magnitude of the equipment.McGill to-day was a great object lesson which would not only benefit those immediately concerned, but would prove a stimulus to similar institutions in the Mother Country.(Applause.) Sir John Evans, in proposing the toast of \u2018The University,\u2019 made a graceful and eloquent speech.He had heard a great deal about McGill University, but he felt like the Queen of Sheba, when she was ushered into the presence of Solomon\u2014 he felt that the half had not been told.(Applause.) McGill University, in the manner in which it had been created and developed, in the manner in which it was sustained, presented an example which it would be well for them in the Mother Country to follow.(Applause.) The chief thing he noticed was that the an- thorities had designed their methods and equipments with the view of giving a sound practical education to the students, and this he heartily commended.This showed the highest wisdom in the citcum- stances, which contemplated the reclaiming of a new and, in some respects, savage country, \u2018Savage, murmured an ardent Canadian; \u2018oh, this is too much.\u2019 \u2018My dear fellow,\u201d expostulated a visiting scientist, hastily, \u2018he does not mean that you are savage.\u2019 \u2018Oh, he doesn\u2019t.T-h-a-n-k-s,\u201d was the faint reply.\u2018Not at all\u2019 (cheeringly).\u2018He means- er\u2014the forest\u2014the trees, you know.\u2019 \u201cWell, well, let it pass,\u201d murmured the Canadian, resignedly, and both fell back upon their claret.Sir John paid a high compliment to the Molson family, to the late Mr.Red- path, to Mr.McDonald and to the late (though still living) Sir Donald Smith.for their munificence towards the university.A happy reply was made by the vice- principal, Dr.Johneon, in the course of which he showed the benefit in conne- tion with the meetings of the associalion, of intercourse between man and man.Laughingly alluding to the terrors of a sea voyage, he pointed out that with improved machinery, it appeared to be à question\u2014at least it soon wouid Le\u2014o® hours rather than dave in crossing the Atlantic.In view of this he expressed the hope that Montreal would once mor.and that in the not distant future, be honored by being made the nmiceting place of the association.Tt wasn 1x02 that Lie mentioned the feasibility of the associa tion meeting again in Canada.He first made the suggestion of Montreal, but Toronto was mentioned, and from that mention the idea grew into the present meeting.They all felt deeply honored hy th.visit of 80 many distinguished ag) us trious men to Canada.and particniar!v by their interest in the progress of the university, À vote of thanks ta the chairman terminated the pleasant function.Carriges being in readiness, the party were dmven around the mountain, and subsequentlv were entertained to tea in the lhibran cf the college.THE WHITNEY \u2018INVESTIGATION.BELLEVILLE AUTHORITIER BLAM.FA FOR ALLOWING HIM TO LEAVE THE CITY.AND DR.SHEARD, TORONTO HEALTH OFFT- CER, PRAISED FOR TIIE PART HE PLAYED.Toronto, Aug.16\u2014At the meeting of Board of Health the morning the committee on epidemics re Belleville into the Whitney smallpox case.From the evidence it appears that Whitney reached Belleville by train on Saturday morning, July 31.the Provincial ported their investigation in He remained for 1wo hcurs in the telegraph office waiting to send a message to his mother to ask for funds.He again came into the telegraph office about two o'clock in the afternoon and got his money.The telegraph clerk, Mr.Canniff, said it was his impression the man had smallpox.Dr.Clinton said he was asked to examine Whitney, and advised a policeman to have him isolated.Pcliceman Morton said he had no authority to detain Whitney.Dr.Tracy said that about 5.30 in the afternoon Le saw Whitney and examined him in the tclegraph office.He thought the case suspicious and drove to a house he had seiected to isolate Whitney in.Policeman Morton afterwards went to arrest Wkitney and found he had disappeared.The city clerk corroborates the arrangement to secure Whitney and take the custëtiars preeautions.Johnston, a plumber, who was working in an alley near _ the telegraph office and who had talked to Whitney, said the latter asked him about trains and boats and said he would take the 8.30 boat to Toronto.Johnston was at the boat and saw Whitney get on the forward gangway and evidently kept himself out of sight.The chief constable was on the wharf.Policeman Morton described low he and Dr.Tracey got Whitney of the street car about seven o'clock.He gave his name as Scheffs and Morton says Dr.Tracey did not tell him to take the man in charge, but said to let him go and get him some provisions.Dr.Tracey sail he did not think the man had smallpox.He (Morton) notified Dr.Tracey that he understood Whitney had gone away on the beat.The doctor said the Toronto an- therities would be warned.Dr.Tracey in his- evidence said that he expected when he left Whitney in Morton's charge that he would Le taken care of and tut in isolation.Dr.Tracey said he did not tell Morton to let Whitney go.The report speaks of Whitney's \u2018culpa: bility\u2019 and of \u2018the gross neglect and indifference to public welfare\u2019 which al lowed Whitney to escape from the ay of Belleville while he was suspected of being ill with smallpox.The report a.\u201d highly commends the prompt action of Dr.Sheard, that saved Toronto from exposure and a probable outbreak here of smallpox.\u2014\u2014\u2014 THUNDERSTORMS AT QUEBEC.Quebec, Aug.17.\u2014Since Sunday morn ing this section has been visited by 8 succession of violent thunderstorms and regular cloudbursts of rain, which have deluged the land and turned the stream: into torrents.Dr.Larocque, Sergeant-a!

practical things she said, but her appeal at the close of ler address to those who were in \u201cthe fac conutry,\u201d brought tears to my eyes, and a choking sensation in my throat, to whieli T had

RACES.Mr.Duggan crossing the finishing line yesterday four minutes twenty-one seconds chead of the \u2018 Momo?party, as such, is, to say the least, not largely in evidence in any way at pres ent), profess to be willing, if not even anxious, to assume the responsibility of refusing to allow England to be further Lound by the treaties.The comments of the English press in regard to Mr.Sherman's message about the Behring Sea trouble, (comprising as they did, open statements to the effect that a war with the United States was only a matter of time), are of special aig- nificance at the present juncture.The English have never professel to understand the perhaps somewhat peculiar way in which American statesmen are wont to transact the business appertaining to : their positions and they have hitherto re- | garded these vagaries more in a spirit of i tolerant wonder and curiosity as to the next move than anything else.A pre- sident\u2019s message, which, if it was enun- cialed by the ruler of any other nation weuld probably be regarded and treat ed as a declaration of war, would not attract any appreciable attention in England.One of the largest newspaper pro: prietors in Great Britain told me not long ago that the publication of the Venezuelan message, heralded as it was, did not affect the circulation of his publications in the slightest degree.To-day, however, the general feeling seems to be that the United States should be placed on the same footing as other nations; and the growth of this sentiment may perhaps be indirectly traced to what may almost be termed the recently bred jin- geism, proof of the existence of which may be found in some of the public utterances in connection with the colonial demonstrations.Those infected with this germ have no desire to repel the charge and would probably openly agree with one of the most prominent of their number, who said to me in the courge of a few remarks on the subject some weeks ago, that \u201cevery sensible man was a fingo nowadays, as the interests of the Empire demanded.\u2019 The reports of the great finds in the Yukon district have excited enormous interest in Fngland, and I am told that despite official warnings as to the lateness of the season, many small parties are now setting out for this auriferous region.Even the Parisian press has taken the matter up, and one is here regaled with articles thereon nearly every morning.So far as one can judge from reports.the Canadians, while not carrying off any of the larger prizes, did excellently well at Bisley, as, indeed, they hid fair to do at the end of the first week.One result of this year\u2019s meeting will probah- ly be a change in the size of the target, as the use of the new l.ee-Metford rifle mikes an immense difference in the scores at all ranges.NEWS FROM OTTAWA.LORD AND LADY ABERDEEN REACHED THE CAPITAL AT.NOON YESTERDAY.LEFT FOR TORONTO TO-DAY\u2014NEED - OF PHYSICIANS IN THE NORTE-WEST, Ottawa, Aug.17.\u2014W.C.Milner, collze- tor of customs at Sackville, N.B., was dismissed for political partisanship, and In a letter to the pres.says :\u2014\u2018If my dismissal is in consequence of my former position as an active worker in the Conservative party, I accept it as a compliment, because any man having the interest of the country at heart ought tb \u201cbe proud to make some sacrifice for a party to which this country owes so much of its progress and prosperity and the general policy of which its opponents pay the extreme praise of adopting.\u2019 Lord and Lady Aberdeen arrived at noon yesterday, and left for Toronto today.Dr.Goodhead, of the medical faculty of the University of Manitoba at Wiani- peg, is at the Russell House on his way to take steamer at New York for Europe.In conversation in regard to the Victorian Order of Nurses he said that what the North-West Territories need is more doctors.In many of the sparsely settled districts there is sometimes not enough medical business to be done to support a doctor, and he thought it would be a wise scheme to bonus doctors in such places.He admits that nurses are needed by the poor people, but believes the scheme as proposed is not adapted to the North-West and Manitoba.He says nurses will not live in the small houses, the one-roomed shacks that many of the prairie farmers use as dwellings.The medical colleges of Canada, he says, can turn out enough doctors to supply the needs of the country, Lut in many places the physicians cannot make expenses.He believes that ho- nusing doctors in such localities would materially aid in the development and settlement of the country.Several members of the British Association, who had contemplated going west or south after the Toronto meeting.are to spend to-morrow in Ottawa.They will include Sir George Robertson, whose heroic defence of Chitral in 1895 was the talk and admiration of the civilized world ; Prof.Miall, chief of the binlogi- cal department of Yorkshire College, Leeds ; Dr.Magnus of Berlin, Germanr ; Prof.A.T.Seward of Cambridg: ; Prof.Herdman, an eminent biologist ; Mr.John Brigg, M.P.for Keighley Yorks ; \u2018Mr.Charles Hawksley, one of London\u2019s foremost

morning the grand \u2018old historic church of St.Raphael's was the scene of one of the most fashionable weddings that has taken place in that sacred edifice for years.It was the occasion cf the marriage of Mr.Rory McDonald, son of the late Angus McDonald, of Sand- field\u2019s Corners, to Miss Catherine Me- Lellan, daughter of the late Donald Mec- Lellan, of the fourth concession, Char- lottenburgh.Eight o'clock was the hour for the interesting ceremony, but long before that time the church was thronged with relatives and friends of the contracting parties.Shortly before the hour named the groom entered the church with Mr.Frank F.- Bain, who acceptably filled the post of groomsman.A few minutes later the organ pealed forth Mendelssohn\u2019s well known wedding march announcing the arrival of the bride, who Jooked charming and wore a neat costume of cream nun\u2019s veiling, trimmed with coetly white lace and a profusion of satin ribbons.She was accompanied to the altar by her grandfather, Mr.D.Me- Lellan.\u2018 The bridesmaid was Miss Bella McDonald.High mass was sung by the Rev.Father Fitzpatrick.CIIASED A BURGLAR.Cornwall, Aug.16\u2014Dr.F.F.Taylor made it very

duplicity.As to advising the Emperor or Prince von Hohenlohe, the ex-Chancellor said: \u2018Even with the best will in the world that is impracticable, since it is impossible for me to supervise the

Toronto Industrial Exhibition arrived and were posted all over town.The posters, which advertised the fair to open on Aug.30 at Toronto, were handsomely gotten up and decorated in the centre with a large portrait of Queen Victoria.On Monday night a gang of hoodlums went round and with knives cut out the portrait of the Queen, utterly spoiling the appearance The action, which throws discredit on the town, has called forth the disgust of all right-thinking people.-_\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u2018INDIANA\u2019 OUT OF DRY DOCK.Halifax, -N.S., Aug.16.\u2014The United States battleship

MR.SIFTON.CHARGES OF NEPOTISM BY A Tg RONTO PARTY ORGAN DissL PATED.SAYS HE NEVER APPOINTED à RELATIVE TO OFFICE.Ottawa, Aur 16.\u2014Some dave agn tle statement \u2018Mail is uncle is the next member of that Minis.was made in the Ter nto and Empire, that Mr.se.ter's wide connection to get a Jets Tol lowed lower down by the usual \u201c1 iy said,\u2019 that the man who gets the contract has the honor to claim Mr Sinon for his nephew.In yesterday > sane this is assumed to be an assurmi fact and that Mr.Sifton has a contract for his uncle, and is getting = Judgeshiy for his brother, and a lieuteuant-guvernor- ship for his father.I asked Mr.Sifton yesterday if 1 could have his authority to deny these statements, and drew his attention at \u2018ue same time to published assertions tht he had in the past been in the habit «j appointing relatives to office.He replied:\u2014\u2018The fact is that during the time that I was in the Manitoba Government I never appointed a relative of nine to an office.Since I have been in thu government I have not appointed a relat ve No relative of mime was ever taken into the government ser vice of Manitoba while I wus n the government, or into the service «f ils government.I never recommended à relative for an office of any kind.1 never suggested the appointment of a rex: ve to any office.\u2019 \u2018Your father is in the service © the Manitoba Government, is he not *° Mr.Sifton replied: \u2018He was ajainted before I was a member of that guvern- ment, upon the petition of a number of citizens, including leading Conserva:.ves.As I say, I was not then a member of the government and did not have anything to do with it.\u2018What of the statement in the \u2018Mail ard Empire\u2019 that your father is to be zp- p«.nted Lieutenant-Governor of the Territories ?\u201d \u2018I know nothing of it.He would not accept it if it were offered to him.\u2019 \u2018Yet Sir Charles Tupper held the office of High Commissioner while his son was in the cabinet ?\u201d \u201cWell, a bad practice is not a good precedent.As I say, there is not the slightest foundation for the \u2018Mail and Empire's\u2019 statement.\u2019 \u2018One question more.The same paper asserts that your brother is to be made a judge in place of Judge McGuire, transferred to the Yukon ?\u2019 \u2018Such a thing,\u201d replied Mr.Sifton, \u2018is not contemplated.There is no power to appoint a judge without legislation, as the full number of judges are in office.Mi.Justice\u2019 McGuire has been transfar- red temporarily and his duties at Princes Albert will be discharged by Mr.Justice Richardson.\u2019 \u2018Speaking of the Yukon, here is an zd- vertisement in the \u2018Globe\u2019 of \u201cThe Sifton Klondike Syndicate,\u201d signed by \u201cJ.WW, Sifton \u201d\u2019 as secretary, which is, if I re member the initials, your father\u2019s name\u201d Mr.Sifton replied :\u2014\u2018It is not my father.The gentlemen promoting the enterprise are of course not precluded from making use of their surname ia advertising their company because the name happens to be the same as mine, but in view of the fact that the Yukon or Kion- dike mining district comes directly under my administration the name of the company might cause some misapprehension.I may, therefore, add that I have no | knowledge of the company, no connectiou with it, no interest in it, direct or indirect, present or prospective.It is per haps unnecessary to say further that I have not and will not have any interest directly or indirectly in or with any firm or company, association or institution owning or dealing in any lands, mines, .: mining claims or property coming under the administration of any department of the government.\u2019 The public will appreciate Mr.Sifton\u2019s desire that the administration of the mm- eral wealth of the Yukon should be above suspicion.A FOUR DAYS\u2019 MEETING.Kingston, Ont., Aug.16.\u2014The Methodists of the
