and all left with the pleasant sense of having been partakers of a boundless hospitality.Judging from the programme of feics, er cursons and entertainments which has been prepared, Montreal, in the estimation of the guests of next week, will more sustain the repuratien which slie It was naturally felt that the social side ot the gathering should receive marked at- tes tion, seeing that most of the members were to be accompanied by their wives and daughters, and to give this a memor alle prestige and eclat has been the con-: tern of the local executive.Those leaders of local society who so readily offered to cntertain, have spared no expense in the preparations they have made, and the functions which will take \u201cup the afternoons and evenings will be \u201cday.Torr T° «+ svrine are all ron-aleoholic, of the mo ceor errongth and finest flavor, and coves Yelp ohiaming a large share of 0 \u201coor when thev hecome more > \u201ceen.The maker is Mr.Henri D: nr, who compounds these pure Lt Tics afrer a secret recipe of his w= ce) thev may be purchased from Fos D2 > 1208 Notre Dame street.The xt on has brought many visI- sors 1 Montrest, ta the especial benefit of | : Souer Paiwav and hotel keepers, lors Centaily to the city generally.\u2014\u2014 sm VINIOST FATALLY BURNED.Notre Dame Hosnital ambulance ver ta rail to the government dry MOU street at three p.m.vester- \u201crl that a weman, Mrs.Paul Le 02 Val been horribly, and it was sr-t fatally, hurned, by an ex- \u2018ton vi benzine in her dwelling, the ~~ character and interesting chiefly to the | | has unique for charm and elegance.The sec- | tichal meetings will begin on Wednes- These meetings will constitute the | permanent value of the gathering;

suspicious neglect of perishable property.Then a cabman appeared and obtained the barrel, but as the address furnished him was not genuine, the officers obtain- led little from following him.They accordingly seized the stuff, allowing the carter to go, and removed it to the Cus tom Housé, where it was valued at from eight hundred to one thousand dollars.Shortly afterwards an fier called on one Abrahm KL Couri, bookkeeper for Messrs, Ramsh & Boohanna, merchants, of this city.\"You are Mr.Couri ¥ asked the customs officer.* Yes, that was his name.( Yon are also Mr.James Carr ?\"Oh, ro\" there was resentment in the demal, mixed with surprise ; but guilt was ill concealed.\u2018 Make a clean breast of it ?was the advice of the official ; whereupon Mr.Couri confessed that he had obtained the confiscated jewellery in New York city, expressed the package to St.Alban's Bay, packed it in a barrel and driven with it twenty-five miles to Stanbridge, where he expressed it to Montreal.There was some of the jewellery also in a black valise which he had carried with him.This valise was obtained at a given address, and was found to contain the jewellery, with a good number of cucumbers on top.Vegetables, bag, jewellery and all went to swell the receipts from Her Majesty's customs, and Abraham El Cou- ri is a much sadder if not a wiser young man.mers BITTEN BY A RATTLER.Brantford, Ont., Aug.27.\u2014Yesterday a thirteen year old daughter of Isaiah Williams, of the Six Nations reserve, was bitten by a huge rattlesnake and now lies at the point of death, little hope being entertained of her recovery.The snake was killed by the child's father, and is now preserved at the office of Dr.Secord, Indian surgeon.This is the first instance in ten years of any one residing on the reserve falling a victim to a rattler.FINANCE COMMITTEE.ENTERTAINMENT OF THE BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.\u2014_\u2014 THE I'WO TIOUSAND DOLLARS GRANTED FOR A RECEPTION AND BANQUETA special mecting of the Finance Committee was held this morning, when Ald.There were also present Mavor Wilson-Smith and Alder men Rainville presided.McBride, Connaughton, Savignae, Marsolais and Mr.David, the city clerk.The meeting was called for the purpose of granting the sum of two thousand five hundred dollars towards defraying the expenses of a reception to the members of the British Medical Association in the form of a lanch and drive rouud the mountain.Ald.MeBride spoke strongly in favor of giving the association a reception, and pointed out that it would not be right to allow them to depart without the city showing them anv courtesy.The chairmen stated that as a citizen he was willing to grant the money, but .ag chairman of the Finance Committee he could not, because the city was too poor.Its reserve fund was only thirteen thousand dollars, and he did not think it would last to the end of the Year, as part was already mortgaged.The Mayor agreed with Ald.MeBride, and urged the comnnttee to vote the sum.Aldermen Savignac and Marsolais werè of the opinion that as three thousand dollars had been given to the British Medical Association, tFey did not consider themselves justified in gnbscribing another two thousand five hundred dollars.They were in perfect harmony with the recepticn to the association, but they thought the expenses should he covered by the donation which they had already received.After a Jong and animated discussion it was unanimously agrecd that the sum of two thousand dollars be given to the British Medical Ascociation on the same terms as the Montreal Exhibition grant, which means that the money will be taken out of the revenue of next year.Next thing was to find the owner.The.AUGUST 27, 1897.Price ONE CENT.PROGRESS OF THE BRIDGE WORK.The iron for the erection of the spans for the new work on the Victoria Jubilee Bridge is arriving daily, and some portions of the permanent spans are being create both in St.Lambert and at l\u2019oint St.Charles.About two hundred and: fifty\u2019 thousand dollars has already been paid to the Detroit Company for iron work, and it is said a similar sum is to be given the Lachine Bridge Company.; Abeut fifty thousand dollars has been ex- ; pended on the masonry work, and everything appears to be progressing rapidly now.Most people who have seen the new iron structure at the entrance to the Point St.Charles side of the bridge, imagine that it is to be left im its present position, but it is intended to propel it along on the top of: the tubing of the old bridge.It will be used to place the permanent spans in position as the work progresses.The iron spans are now being put together | by the aid of powerful derricks in Point! St.Charles and St.Lambert, preparatory | to placing them in their permanent posi- | tien on the piers as fast as they are ex-: teuded, and put in readiness to receive them.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 >

SENATOR CHANDLER.Boston, Mass., Aug.27.\u2014In a letter to tue \u2018 Herald,\u201d published this morning, Senator William F.Chandler, explains the introduction of the clause of the new tariff law imposing a ten percent extra duty on all foreign products coming through Canada into the United States.Senator Chandler holds that the legislation was passed by writing it as new matter into a conference report, where it was adopted by both Houses of Congress without being noticed by more than those persons engaged in the scheme.Continuing, Senator Chandler says :\u2014* For myself, I regret to say that 1 did not notice what the conferees had done.Senator Canon had in open Senate asked whether they intended to do anything but settle difficulties between the two Houses\u2014 whether they intended to put any new matter into the bill\u2014and Senator Allison had replied emphatically that of course they did not.Yet, the provision was inserted and as no aitention was called to it in the report, it was passed without being noticed.\u2018 Having had experience with conference reports, which should have warned me to read every word of this report, I have no excuse to offer for not doing so.I hope to be forgiven by my constituents, but I shall never forgive myself.\u2019 -\u2014\u2014 LORD'S DAY ALLIANCE.PROGRAMME FOR THE APPROACHING PROVINCIAL CONVENTION.Toronto, Aug.27.\u2014The programme for the Lord\u2019s Day Alliance Convention, which is to be held in Association Hall, on Sept.10, has been arranged.The morning session will be occupied by papers and addresses on \u2018Sunday as a Day of Rest.\u201d The Rev.Principal Caven will deal with the religious aspect of the subject.Mr.Thomas Urquhart, barrister, will speak on the civil Sabbath and Ontario legislation protecting it.Mr.R.L.Whyte will speak on the relation of the Lord's Day, to workingmen.The after noon will \u2018be devoted to campaign plans for completing the organization of the Lord's Day Alliance throughout the province, and for minimizing Sunday trathic.The afternoon conference will be led hy Mr.G.M.Macdonnell, Q.C., Kingston.A mass meeting will be held at night, and addresses by the Rev.Dr.Carman, the Hon.5.H.Blake, Q.C., and Mr.A.F.Wood, who represented North Hastings in the last Legislature, ee ONTARIO PATRONS, CONFERENCE TO PREPARE FOR THE PROVINCIAL ELECTIONS.Toronto, Aug.27.\u2014The Grand Board of the Patrons of Industry, ai \\ - bers of the Grand Association of Ontario who are in Toronto on that date, have been summoned by Mr.Æ.A.Mallory, Grand President, to m at Temperance Hall, on the evening of Sept.8, The chief business, it is offi¢gially stated, will be the consideration of plans for the On- tario elections \u2014 SPAIN IS DETERMINED.WILL BROOK NO INTERFERENCE IN CUBA FROM UNCLE BAM.Madrid, Aug.27.\u2014General Azcarraga, the Spanish Premier, at the cabinet council, over which he presided last night, declared the government would follow in the footsteps of the late premier, Senor Canovas del Castillo.He announced that the government had full confidence in Captain-General Weyler's political and military conduct of affairs in Cuba.l\u2019er- sonally the Premier was aware that the insurrection in Cuba was approaching an end, and if the United States made any demonstration, he remarked, which he hoped would not be the case, Spain would do her duty, The Premier closed his speech by appealing for the good will of all Conservatives.Havana, Aug.27.\u2014The \u2018Diaraio De La Marina,\u201d this afternoon calls the mission of General Stewart L.Woodford, the new United States Minister to Spain, a failure, and says:\u2014\u2018Germany and France are entirely hostile to American intervention in Cuban matters.England, skilled like an old diplomat, is always evasive to Woodford\u2019s insinuations, and has expressed no opinion regarding Cuba, but Great Britain is fortifying Canada, and preparing against possible trouble with the United Slates, owing to American jingoism.\u2019 The \u2018Diaraio De La Martina,\u201d then makes fun of the American \u2018tourist minister,\u201d visiting in Europe and sounding foreign cabinets, and meeting with failure so far as the Cuban policy is concerned.ce SLAUGHTER OF SONG BIRDS.ANOTHER APPEAL TO WOMEN BY SENATOR HOAR.Boston, Aug.27.\u2014Senator Hoar, writing again against the destruction of the song-birds, quotes statistics to show the tremendous annual slaughter, and continues :\u2014\u201c The law passed by our Legislature last winter was not intended to cure this evil in a single year, or of itself to go far towards curing it at all.That must be done by a concerted action of all the states, not only with each other, but with Canada and perhaps Mexico and the South American states.The like object must be accomplished in Europe by a movement among the humanbe people of all nations.The object of the bird petition and the Massachusetts law which followed it was to call the attention of the American women, who have the best hearts God ever made for the comfort of man, to an evil which they can cure by a simple change of fashion.Our love for them is a sentiment, a sen\u2019i- ment largely enhanced by our delight in the beauty of girl and matron, and in the sweetest music in the world\u2014the voices of mother and sisters and wives.It is a faint or far-off echo of that music which comes to our ears when we listen to our song-birds, and I am sure that whoever shall be the enemies of these beautiful creatures which God has given the world for its most exquisite ornament, the American women will be their saviours.\u2019 BEHRING SEA CLAIMS.FINAL SESSION OF THE COMMISSION CONTINUED AT HALIFAX.BRITISH CONTENTION PRESENTED BY MR.PETERS.* Halifax, N.S., Aug.27.\u2014 When the Behring Sea Commision resumed its sessions to-day there was a large number of spectators present.The Hon.F.Peters, Premier of Prince Edward Island, chief counsel for Great Britain, began his argument at once.He said the commission should take into consideration all the diplomatic correspondence that had passed and should look to all the circumstances.He made an elaborate argument in favor of the contention that (Great Britain was not debarred from pressing the claims of individual members of the crews of seized vessels.pp SOO TRAFFIC DELAYED.Sault Ste.Marie, Mich., Aug.27.\u2014A jam in the Canadian canal yesterday delayed traffic in that waterway for six hours, and trains on the C.P.R.were held for the same length of time.It was caused by the steel schooner \u2018 Mariha and the steamer (City of Paris,\u201d bound dewn loaded with iron ore, becoming wedged between the canal bank and the railway bridge pier just above the lock.The bridge was open and trains were held.The jam was finally broken late in the afternoon.pe THE ERYTHREAN FRONTIFR.Rome, Aug.27.\u2014The Cabinet Council oT agreed to accept the proposition of Ning Menelek concerning

PRESIDENT BORDA.Montevideo, Aug.27.\u2014The revolutionists have declared that the assassination of President Ildiarte Borda will have no effect upon their future.The war will continue, The present situation, they say, is nol one which promises peace in the near future, and if Dr.Julio Herre- ray Obes, who is the most likely candidate for president, is chosen, the prospect of a termination of the war is extremely remote.He is regarded by the Blancos, the revolutionary party, as their mortal enemy.Avelino Arredondo, the military officer who shot President Borda, reiterates his statement that he had no accomplices.THE PRESIDENT OF URUGUAY.Juan Idiarte Borda,President of the South Republic of Uruguay, shot and the Cathedral of Monte- ad been attending services the American killed on leavin video, where he in celebration of the anniversary of country's independence.He now says, however, that he murdered Senor Borda to saye his countr an > government.\u2018Thé fact that Er and bis family belong to the Colorados, the party of which Senor Borda was the leader, seems to prove that the revolu- { tionists had nothing to do with the crime.Congress will assemble at once to consider the situation.In the meantime the president ad interim, Senor Jose Cuestas, is taking steps to form a new cabinet.Dr.Francisco Banca has been named Minister of the Interior.All thé leading military commanders are coming to Montevideo to consult with the new administration as to what policy to adopt against the rebels.In the meantime the reports from the field show no decrease in the fighting.General Flores has issued a manifesto calling for a complete union of the Colorados against the rebels.Buenos Ayres, Aug.27.\u2014The president of the Uruguayan revolutionary committee, in this city, expresses great regret at the assassination of President Borda ot Uruguay, but declares that the revolutionary party is guiltless of any comph- city.He further declares that Senor Cuestas, who has been chosen president ad interim, will do nothing to pacify the country, as he is generally hated in Uruguay, as was President Borda.The war, he says, will continue if Congress does not allow the demand of the rebels.DECLINED THE HONOR.St.Petersburg, Aug.27.\u2014Prince Louis Napoleon, who is Colonel of the Czarina's Lancers, and who received, in common with all the colonels commanding at the review yesterday at Krasnoe Selo, the Cross of the Legion of Honor, has announced that he is unable to accept it, as he had, while still in his cradle, received from Napoleon III.the grand cor don of his country\u2019s order.Consequently, the Lieutenant-Colonel of the C7arina'g Lancers will receive the cross intended for Prince Louis.\u2014\u2014\u2014 POTATO FAMINE THREATENED.Skibbercen,

HOUSE, Corner Craig and Bleury streets.PROTECT TIE FLOCKS.Now that American sheepowners have secured such ample protection for their wool, they are wanting to get their sheep better protected from straggling dogs.A Wisconsin farmer complains that while the statutes of his state fairly bristle with laws for the protection of dogs, the poor sheep are left almost wholly at the mercy of every rambling cur who prefers fresh mutton to the meagre diet furnished by his lawful owner.Not only in the United States, but also in the Dominion of Canada, and even in Great Britain, the dog laws are framed to favor the worthless canine at the expense of the useful sheep.Quite recently I read an account of a farmer in England who was compelled by law to pay a fancy price for a worthless cur which he had shot while chasing a flock of sheep, before he had caught any of them.The dog was unknown to the owner of the flock, who, rather than permit his sheep to be worried, shot the marauder before he had time to lay hold of his intended prey, and Mr.Farmer had to pay dearly for daring to inter- tere with the vested rights of British lurchers.Throughout a great part of Canada, sheep raising has become rather risky because of the danger from prowling dogs.In most cases these dogs are owned, when they have any real owner, by people residing in towns and villages, and they stray out sometimes over a dozen miles until they find a flock of sheep which had not been securely folded at night.In these nocturnal forays the town cur is often joined by his country cousins, who thus acquire a taste for stolen meat, which will generally bring! on an untimely end, while the town dog continues his nightly raids in other directions.During the early settlements in Canada, when wolves, bears and Iynxes abounded, a good large dog was: often a necessity for the farmer, but now when large wild animals have almost become extinct in the old settlements, there is no further use for dogs of a size which renders them dangerous to sheep, and the sooner they are got rid of the better for all concerned.And the individual who has hitherto been feeding one or more unprofitable mastiffs, can use the food to much better purpose by giving it to poultry or pigs, which will return him full value for what they re ceive.In Ontario the local municipalities can levy a tax on all dogs, and with the money thus raised pay the losses which the farmers may sustain from dog raids among their flocks.But the law is not often enforced, and indeed it appears to be unjust to tax a small dog, which can do no harm, at the same rate as is the much larger and more dangerous brute.There ought to be a provincial or, better still, a Dominion, law made and enforced, whereby all dogs weighing over twenty-five or thirty pounds should pay a yearly tax of five or ten dollars, and the tax to be doubled wherever two or more large dogs are kept by one owner, for it is often the case where two dogs are fed on the rations which would only feed one decently, that they are tempted to go out and loot for themselves.Also it ought to be made lawful to shoot on sight any large dog found straying more than a couple of miles from his owner's home, unless when accompanied by the owner himself.Even the smaller dogs should be restrained from rambling around their neighbors\u2019 premises too treely, for the young poultry, and even the older birds, are made to suffer severely from such wnwelcome visitors.RUSTICUS./ JOHN MURPHY & C0.'§ ADVERTISEMENT.IN NSTI SN SINS I I ~~ (GREAT CLEARING SALE Saturday, Monday,

medicines would you advise for one's private uso for the Klondike, and what quantiti®s?Rheumatism, scurvy and kidney troubles are the prevailing diseases, I urderstard.Would lime juice tablets be good for the scurvy?What would be a good tonic for one who do2s not take liquor?Would medicine be best in tablet form?Ans.\u2014QGreat care to supply real necessaries is the oxtly way to prevent sick_ ness, and only those who have the latent health of a robust person, between perhaps twenty-one and thirty-five years, seem fit to be subjected to the vicissitudes of the Klondike.With temperate habits, a good outfit of clothes, a sufficlent variety of food, and what is called \u2018good luck,\u201d two healthy young men who would stand by each other might do very well.Anyone having any weakness or disease should consult some doctor specially before going to the Klondike.If a person Is obliged to keep up a fire, and cook for himself, or sleep in a damp, cold place, cr eat raw or indigestible food, when taken ill, medicines will be ct little use.SCURVY.£uch as citrie acld, are in- some salt must be added, a grain or two of Rochelle salt added to a lemonade made with citrio acid, makes about as satisfactory a drink as fresh lemonade.Lime juice tablets may contain the salts or only Organic acids, the acid.Both are required.Wheu no fresh vegetables or fruits are to be had.dried frults are of use.Lime syrup and letron syrup will keep a good while, but citric ecid and Rochelle salt are easier carried and efficacious, and \u201cuseful 1n rheuma- tiem as well as In scurvy.The following remedy, sweeiened to taste, can be mixed at the time it is wanted: One drachm of citrate of potash; one drachm of citrate of iron; three drachms of citric acid, in four our ces of water.Dose, a teaspoonful after meals.Scurvy {8 known by debility, and by unhealthiness of the flesh even before the gums become spongy.It is caused by a monotonous diet in cases wherc nn fresh fruit or vegetables are to be got, and has heppered in cases, according to Dr.Charteris, where Ime julce was used, and good sea biscuit with salt pork.A varicty of food is more to be derended upon than one acid drink in its prevention; too much salt food creates an excess of common salt, while tartrates, malates, citrates, as in grapes, apples and lemons, which give off their bases potash and soda, when swallowed counteract this excess.Rochelle salt or something like it, is left in baking powder after it is baked In bums or bread, in a quantity, not injurious to most persons.This laxative aud very depressing salt contains tartrats of soda and potash, and is the very thing to mix in citric acid lemonade, or to take in two \u2018grain doses with a bitter, when persons have unhealthy gums and debility.A daily dose of a teaspoonful as g~ laxative, is not safe, except with a constipating iron tonic.Like Eno\u2019s fruit salt and seidlitz powder in a full dose, it is refreshing in high fever, but if used dally soon makes the blood pale, and consequently the heart and pulse weak.Many things which act as foods in minute doses, are equal to poisors when used in quantity.Thus, common salt helps to form the needful dilute hydrochloric acid of the gastric juice but undiluted hydrochloric acid is a polson, and common salt in excess produces scurvy.Fresh lemon juice contains citr® acid, malic acid and phosphoric acid, These acids are in combination with bas>s polesh soda and alse free.Compound syrmp of iron phosphate, is valuable in scurvy.It is called chemical food.RHEUMATISM.Indigestion, damp and cold.prepare the way tor inflammatory rheumatism which may, set in with high fever and sour sweats, while one or more joints become swollen, with a pink flush on the skin of the joint which is exceedingly painful.Great care is needed.Rest in bed.Gruels, with milk and Carlsbad mineral water arc a suitable dlet; salicylate of sodium, one ounce; bicarbonate of potash, two drachms; boiled water flve ounces; dissoive and mix.Dose, a teaspoonful evefy two cr three hours for six doses, then seldomsr, once overy six hours during fever.Tnis is useful especialiy at the beginning of rheumatic fever to relieve pain.Inflammatory rheumatism attacks one jolat after another, and is liable to affect the heart.It is not like the joint rheumatism of old people or the acute joint-rheumatism from blood poisoning.Carlsbad salts can be carried dry.Artificial salts can be mixed and put up in packages of fifty-three grains which will make one pint of min>ral water, useful in fevers, inflamed kidney, rheumatism and scurvy.Two flannel shirts made to open down the back are very useful in Inflammatory rheumatism where the patient has a profuse sour perwpiration and who may flatly refuse to be moved, or may faint when ordinary garments are changed.It may be needful to rip the shoulder and tear the shirt to get it olf.If the heart is very weak, as shown by a feeble or very rapid pulse, keep the patient's head low and give beef tea, not liquor.Local Treatment\u2014Wring out a thick flannel pretty dry, in hot water, and soak it in a lotion made thus, to wran up the joint: Lotion:\u2014One oulice of carbonate of soda and one ounce of laudanum in a little over half a pint of water, or simply the scda in the hot water, sometimes wrapping with cotton wool relieves the paln.After a wet hot compress has been on about half an hour, always rub with liniment, and wrap in cotton wool.Keep the limb rolled in blanket and keep the bed clothes dry.INFLAMMATION OF THE KIDNEYS.Drinkiag men often have crippled k!dnevs without knowine it.A biffr climate might make short work with such folks.Acute inflammation of the kidneys may occur in any heaithy person upon receiving a severe chill.The symptoms in thesc cases are: Scant urine containing albumen often mixed with blood which may give it a smoky look.Blood fron: the bladder is less well mixed.Pain in the loins, fever, swelling of the eyelids and ankles increasing to dropsy.This condition requires the most careful nursing tu prevent serious damage.A good fire and a steaming kettle with extra blankets are needed.A steam bath is given by putting tha nose of the kettle where it can steam Irto a blanket which is round the patient until the moist heat starts prafuse perspiration of the skin.A kerosene stove close to the bed can be turned low to keep up the steam.This is a greai help in dropsy, but Is not the best thing {if not necessary, as a profvse sweat renders a fresh cold hard to avoid in a shanty.Poultices are of great service.Make a cotton bag sewn up on three sides about six inches by the width of the small of the back.Fil} with bran, flaxseed or any meal poultice

of the arrangements made in connection with the reception to tha Right Honorable Sir Wilfrid Laurier.All citizens are respectfully invited to be present.(Bigned) R.WILSON-SMITH, Mayor.Mayor's Office, City Hall, Montreal, 26th August, 1897.27 with mustard sprinkled through it and lay it on as hot as can be borne across the back preventing the bed from geting wet by a blanket and piece of oll-silk, and not nav- ing the poultice too thin.Follow with another until the moist heat has lasted an hour, then apply turpentine lluniment well diluted with oil if the skin Is naturally tender, and put a layer of cotton wool covered with oil sfik on the place to protect from cold, keeping it thus dresesd until the patient recovers.Keep a warm, steamy recom and do not allow the patient out of it on any pretext.Milk, arrowroot, gruels, boiled =sago, rice or tapioca are suitable food.No meat or eggs can be disposed of safely.Flaxseed tea, Carlsbad water and some form of milk should be freely taken as drinks.One teaspoonful of Rochelle salt may be given during the fever daily, in as little water as it will dissolve in, to open the bowels.Kidney inflammation is not I'kely to clear up completely for some time.If the poultices and nursing can be attended to soon after the first chill the kidney which may be scarlet with the excess of blood thrown into it from a chilled skin may become normal under treatment and the patient recover without any inflammation, having, of course, to be careful for a week or two.Where fever, pain, smoky urine and swelling occur, cotton batting and chamois may protect the body sufficiently to return home, when be\u2018ter from the first attack, but further chills would be apt to settle his chance of final recovery unfavorably.A box of medicines will not help much in serious illness without a knowledge of the nature and treatment of such diseases.A few useful reme- des and applications which might be taken bv any young man of good sense will be considered next week.PROCLAMATION » In view of the few cases of smallpox in the City, and of the urgent necessity for the thorough vaccination of the population, Iu order to prevent the possibility of the disease spreading, the Health Authorities deemed it wise to recommend the adoption of a thorough system of vaccination as herein Se* forth.In taking these measures, the authorities have only one object in view, namely: to safeguard the health and lives of our citizens.© All City physicians are therefore hereby suthorized to vaccinate free of charge all persons who may apply to them, the City cn and after thie date, agreeing io pay a fee of twenty-five cents for every successful primary or re-vaccination duly certified to the Health Department.As a complement to this, at the end of ten days, the City will be divided into, say, 48 districts, to each of which a vaccinator will be appointed to proceed from house to house and offer free vaccination to all those who may not have availed themselves of the services of their family physician.Pure fresh vaccine lymph is received daily and supplied to medical men according as they require it, free of all charge.The heads of all educational

Kruger\u2019s declaration that the Traïfbvaal does not recognize the suzer- 1 ainty of Great Britain is, when coupled with his statement made in the same breath that the Transvaal intends to observe and live strictly up to the London convention of 1884, almost without significance.The London convention provides that the Transvaal shall have no relations with other countries than the Orange Free State which are not sanctioned by the British Government, Where one peopie submit to the guidance and control of another government in regard to its foreign affairs they are said to be under the suzerainty of that government.How strictly the convention is interpreted by Great Britain and submitted to by the Transvaal is shown by the fact that the Transvaal raad, or parliament, repealed alien legislation because the Imperial Government protested against it as an infringement of the convention.President Kruger\u2019s declaration against the nome such relations are called by, whils recognizing and observing the relations, would not be worth noticing except for the connection in which the declaration is made.Mr.Chamberlain, the S:zcre- tary for the Colonies, made a public statement the other dav to the effect that the British Government would not submit to the arbitration of a foreign power a question in dispute between her and a nation to which she is suzerain.In other words, Mr.Chamberlain wanted no outside interference in strictly family affairs, which are best settled in family council.Those who are anxious for the complete severance of the relation of Great Britain and the Transvaal would like to have the question of Great Britain\u2019s rights in regard to the Transvaal submitted to the decision of a third pewer.Jt is evident that in the present temper of the powers towards Great Britain, which is so largely founded upon envy of the expansion of her empire, the- decision would be a foregone conclusion, Great Britain would rather consent to surrender voluntarily her admitted powers than be deprived of them by the jealous dictate of another power.The British Government will reach an amicable agreement with the Transvaal Government over all questions between them, and will leave to time the question of the destiny of the Transvaal.The Cape \u2018Mercury,\u2019 one of the most representative of South African journals, hag an article upon the Englishing of South Africa which is now proceeding steadily, and can have but one end.This article shows the confidence of the British peo- TITEL Tn Rey geil EE asa TEE ees aL a ha I ple of the Cape that the future of South Africa will be that of one of the British nations, and gives the reason\u2019 for their confidence, which is not merely that the\" English are becoming more numerous and influential all the time, but that the Dutch are being merged in the English.As it has been, and is, in the Cape Colony, so it will be in the Transvaal._\u2014\u2014,\u2014 THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.The most important event of the past week in connection with finance and trade has been the boom in wheat and other cereals.On Saturday last the boom in September wheat sent the price up to a dollar in Chicago and to a dollar and five cents in Néw York, an important advance, which was promptly reflected in the British and foreign markets.At the advance there was, of course, a good deal of selling to take profits, and prices again declined, fluctuating during the week.September touched as high as a dollar three and a half cents in Chicago.One cause of the decline was an attempt on the part of inexperierced bulls to get in on a rising market, which resulted in making it top heavy.But after the consequent decline, prices rallied again, and those who have been short of September wheat have to pay the penalty.The sales of December wheat were also active and at higher prices, touching ninety-four and a half cents in Chicago and ninety-nine and three-quarters cents in New York.An idea of the excitement and activity on the markets can be had from the fact that in Chicago seven hundred and fifty thousand bushels and in New York over eight hundred thousand bushels were sold yesterday.The result of this advance in wheat has been a general advance in the price of flour and bread, both here and abroad, and in France it has aroused political animosity and led to a demand that a maximum price be set upon bread or that the duty on imported flour and wheat be lowered.Canada's share in the advantages of this rise in wheat will be very great.Jt has been estimated that dollar wheat means a profit to the farmers of twenty million dollars over last year, and while a large part of this profit would merely be transferred from the pocket of one Canadian to that of another, a considerable proportion ill be gathered in from abroad.The reports as to the wheat crop of Manitoba continue favorable, although earlier calculations have been somewhat modified.The total wheat yield of that province is now placrd at 21,284,274, an average of 16.49 bushels per acre.Argentina, one of our rivals in wheat raising, has exhausted her supply at the moment, and is actually buying in this market.To add to the strength of the situation, the corn crop in the United States is said to be in poor condition, and to be threatened with frost, and prices of this grain have also advanced.Canada also reaps considernble advantage from the rise in chees: and butter which has taken place, notwithstanding the fact that the season\u2019s receipts (to Saturday night last) were 1,203,241 boxes of cheese, against 955,354 boxes to the same date last season, and 191,256 packages of Lutter, against 14],- 73\u20ac to the same date last season.Country districts have asked and obtained ten cents for their cheese, and city dealers do not hesitate to offer nine and a half to nine and three-quarters cents, but at present they do not think the foreign market authorizes the higher figure.In any event, however, Canada stands to make handsomely out of her cheese and butter this year.With farm and dairy produce as profitable as is promised the country, which rests eventually upon the shoulders of its farmers, bids fair to have a banner year.The Province of Que- Lec alone of all the provinces does not share fully in the advantages to be had.Its hay crop has been under the average, and the recent rains have interfered with harvesting.It is hoped, however, that fine weather will speedily set in, and in that case much of the grain crop, which is hservested later here than in other parts of the colintry, will be got in in good order.The strictly financial news of the week has not been important.The Molsons Bank and the Royal Electric Company have declared respsetively four percent and a bonus of one percent for the half year and a quarterly dividend of two percent.In the matter of its depreciating silver currency, Mexico has taken the bull by the horns and decided to offer special inducements to gold mining within its boundaries.Tt will remit taxes on gold mines, but will place an export duty upon gold.How much some such movement is r«quired is indicated by the fact that gold is at a hundred and Cee?LY Ah fre cles sr ESA a a ° THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.ferty-five premium as compared with the Mexican dollar, which is full weight of excellent silver.The failure of C.Vallée, of C.Vallée & Frere, dry goods merchants of this city, is announced, with liabilities of twenty thousand dollars.Collections are improving and there is more confidence in all branches of trade.The City & District Savings Bank will pay only three percent on deposits in future, On the local stock exchange the week has been active with a strong market.Montreal Street Railway opened at 219% on Monday, and closed yesterday at 219, notwithstanding large sales.Montreal (Gas opened at 1917%, and closed at 193, with large sales.Pacific opened at 73, and closed at the

the growing of vegetables, and the smaller fruits for home use.It is an article of considerable length, which is one objection to quoting it entire.Another, and even more fatal objection to doing this is that so far as it deals in dates, the directions are unsuited to the more northern latitudes in which the great majority of the readers of the Montreal \u2018Witness\u2019 reside.But there are many ideas presented in a striking manner which I have often attempted to impress upon readers of my department of this journal to which an air of newness and freshness is given by this writer, who hails from Adams County, Pennsylvania.Adams county is one of the most southerly counties of the state so that the allusions made to the seasons in the wiy of calendar operations would be very unseasonable.This writer Mr.Lighty, by name, sets out by expressing the opinion that only abont one in thirty farmers make out of the garden what can and should be made from it.I do not think this estimate is far wide of the mark.When you think it is their business to till the soil, and that most of the necessaries of life which other people have to buy with money can be and are grown by hand and team labor such as they have within themselves, is it not most surprising that a branch of household economy which specially belongs to their-own business should be neglected to such a large extent?It is not often that you see any other vegetable on \u2018a farmer\u2019s dinner table except potatoes.Mr.Lighty goes into a calculation on the basis of eight persons per week at the table regularly, Board is rated at three dollars per week, which is much too high, for the country and even for towns and villages for such But the rate may be set higher or lower than that figure without affecting the result, which is given proportionately.The ground taken, is, \u2018I am positive that the good housekeeper will get over one- half of all the boarding out of the garden and for the other seven months over one- fourth.This alone amounts to over $400.A lower board rate reduces the sum total, but does not affect the proportion.Mr.Lighty goes on to say:\u2014 But this is the smallest item.The doctor's bills we save and the good health we enjoy are vastly more important, and the most valuable of all this is that vegetable and fruit diet promotes happiness, a sweet temper, and allows us to enjoy life as we go along, as well as those who come in con- tect with us.There is a world of difference in the temper of a meat-eating family and one that uses Mttle meat and plenty of fruit ond vegetables.If you never tried the garden cure\u2019 for that \u2018tired and irritable feeling,\u2019 try it by all means; you will find ft far ahead of all the nostrums extensively advertised and sold at one dollar per bottle.Indeed, good health is not put up in bottles, board as farmers usually provide.only If any reader is tempted to smile at the idea of diet affecting temper, there can be no doubt that vegetables ani fruits in due proportion to other food are highly promotive of good health.The next paragraph starts the garden calendar for the summer, but at least a month later would have to be stated for the bulk of \u2018Witness\u2019 readers: \u2014 We start using from the garden in March such things as kale, spinach, salsify, dandelion, watercress, artichoke, &c.For April we have the same, with radishes, rhubarb, winter lettuce and winter onions.May adds asparagus, early lettuce, kohl-rabi, carrots, and at the end of the month we generally break in on early strawberries.With June the feast begins.Strawberries and raspber- les by the bushel, currants, gqoseberries, peas, beans, and a number of other early vegetables.July brings us more fruit, and eariy cabbages, tomatoes, summer squash and a big supply of sweet corn.We generally start on the sweet corn about July 4, FripAy, AuausT 27, 1897.and have it regularly to Dec.1; five months \u2014just think of it!'\u2014of deliclous sweet corn almost cvery day, prepared in a variety of ways, fresh from the plat.Every one can have it by a little attention.Make first planting begirning of April, and thereafter plant every two weeks until the first corn is ready to use.Use plenty of secd; it is cheap.I say nothing here as to what may be done in the way of hastening growth by the use of a hotbed, for two reasons: \u2014 1st.The communication on which I am commenting deals only with open-air culture; and, 2nd, I am but too well aware from long experience how few farmers either can or will attempt hot-bed gardening operations.The above is a sufficiently varied bill of fare, and tempting enough surely, to make the twenty- nine out of thirty farmers alluded to at the outset, at least wish that they had such a garden.Mr.Lighty says: \u2014 We raise about all the standard vegetables generally found In a seed catalogue but the cucumber.There I draw a line.They are not fit to eat, and no good health is stored away in them.Some of my neighbors plant half of their little garden patch in cucutn- bers, and salt and pickle them, and for pine months in the year eat flitch and pickles and use tonic\u2014six bottles for $5.I believe with this writer that there is no good health stored away in cucumbers.When fresh and green they may be eaten in moderation, with plenty of onions, but I suspect the onions are just as good without the cucumbers, if not better.I omit, to avoid undue length, what is said about canning and evaporating vegetables and fruits for winter use, also the great cellar well stored with potatoes, carrots, beets, turnips, onions, cabbages, parsnips, celery, etc, and quote tlre following, with N.B,, attached : \u2014 convenience of having the Every one can enjoy all these good things by a little tact, forethought and labor, at the right time.Why, you can have these things better than the millionnaire in the city, who has to buy fruit that was possibly picked too green or was averripe, vegetables wilted or heated.Yes, from observation on the spot, I know that nineteen twentieths of the city people don't know ga good article of food from a bad one.Mr.Lighty is quite right in urging very strenuously as I have so often done in the columns of the \u2018Witness\u2019 that this cannot be done in one of the old-style garden patches, cut up into little beds and tilled with a spade and hoe.The proper way is to make a field of the garden, and run straight rows the whole length of it, using the horse and hand wheel cultivator.It is no wonder so many farmers neglect gardening when they associate it with the idea of a little seven by nine patch in which there is hardly room to turn round, and which can only be tilled by hand power.A farmer's garden should by all means be mainly cultivated by horse-power.The weeds should never be allowed to get any foothold.They should be killed before they get into the second leaf.It is far easier to do it then than when they get older.It may be thought by some hardly a suitable time to be expatiating upon farmers\u2019 gardens in early fall.Is not early spring the proper season for this theme ?No: this is the very nick of time to be dealing with these twenty-nine out of every thirty farmers, who need to be stirred up to the duty of having gar dens.It is in the fall that land must be prepared for this purpose, if it is to be prepared thoroughly.It should be made as rich and mellow as well rotted manure and thorough working can make it, and left at the advent of winter in a somewhat rough state, for the frost to act upon it in crumbling the clods and killing the insects.Then, when spring comes, begin as early as the land will admit of being worked.The garden should be large enough to admit of sowing part to clover each year, \u2018crimson clover,\u201d this writer says, which will do very well for the latitude of Philadelphia, but in most parts of Canada, if that is used it must be sown in the spring, and ploughed under the same fall.Nothing will more tend to keep the land in a friable condition.Use well rotted manure and fertilizers liberally, in addition to the clover regime.Keep the ground occupied ali the time.Tolerate no weeds., Fight shy of novelties and buy fresh seeds from a trustworthy seedsman.Make it a rule in all cases to get the best for \u2018like produces like,\u201d is a principle that applies not only to kind but to quality.LINDENBANK.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE KING OF SIAM.Potedam, Aug.27.\u2014The King of Siam, who arrived here yesterday evening and who was

is understood, intend waiting on the Commissioner of Customs to urge that the import duty of twopence per pound on butter should be removed till the end of July or August next, owing to the scarcity of the article in Victoria, consequent on the drought.Good Danish butter, it is said, 1s now selling in Lon- den for about elevenpence per pound, while the price here for butter of similar quality iz about one shilling and eight- pence to one shilling and tenpence.To bring the butter from England to Melbourne would cost less than onepence per pound.There is, however, no likelihood of Mr.Best agreeing to the suspension of the duty, especially after having declined to remove the duty on wheat.Apart from the nalural aversion of a ministry to introduce a debatable measure as a bill to amend the tariff, there is a feeling that with the prices now obtainable for butter importers could well afford to pay the duty.\u2014 Australasian.\u2019 The quicker the milking, the richer the milk, if the work is done well and completely; the difference may not be great, but it is measurable in butter or money.Again, two men milking bke quantities in like time, from the same cows or animals giving milk usually just alike, will get different results as to richness, and if they change places the richer milk is secured hy the sam=2 man.The milk fat or butter fat comes from the cow, but it is the expert milker that gets the most of it.There seems to he an undefined and vet conclusively proved rela- tien between some milkers and the cow thev handle which produces this result.It is certain that change of milkers, manner or time of milking, irregularity, or any disturbance at milking time may he expected to cause loss of butter fat in the milk.In short, it pays, and pays well to have milking done in the very best way by the very best milkers that can be found.A superior milker should be appreciated and retained as persistently as a superior cow: the former is the more difficult to replace.ADVERTISEMENTS.STRAIGHT TO Gasroigne and Whetstone, and especially by Spenser, who presented them to the pub- ~ in a more developed form in his \u2018Shepherd's Calendar,\u201d published in

and like it has this year, after some years of depression.The fol lowing record of the average price of wheat in each year since 1871, will be found of a special interest :\u2014 Price per Price per Year.bushel.Year.bushel.1871 .$1.31 1884 .$1.07 1872 0.0.1.47 188 .86 1873 .22 11 1836 .87 J874 .1.42 1887 .89 1875 .\u2026.\u2026.1.12 1888 .RS 1876 .1.24 1889 .89 1877 .1.16 1890 .83 1878 +.1.33 1891 .t.05 1879 .1.08 1892 .95 1850 .1.24 1893 .80 1881 .1.11 1894 .67 1882 .1.18 1805 .67's 1888 .,.1.13 1896 .60 The break in the continuous prices of over a dollar a bushel which were maintained up to 1884, was mainly caused by the supplies of Argentina.In 1891 the Russian harvest was such a failure that the exportation of rye was forbidden, as the crops of wheat were unequal to home consumption.This year throughout the wheat areas of the Danubian provinces, in parts of Russia, in Austria-Hungary and France, the wheat crop is known to be far below the average.Upon the extent of the shortage speculation is running riot, much as it did in 1891 at this season.When the extent of the supply became exactly known there was then a drop in prices, the figures in August and December being as follows: \u2014 Aug.\u201891.Dec.\"91.$1.01 $0.93 Winter wheat, No.1.Winter wheat, No.3.97 89 Spring wheat, No.1 ve .94 91 Spring wheat, No.3.89 87 Man.hard, No.1.1.10 1.03 Man.hard, No.3.96 .89 That prices are believed in England to be on the up grade is evident from the exceedingly heavy shipments which have been going on, and which have made the market so lively.SNUBBED BY SCIENTISTS.UNITED STATES VISITORS COMPLAIN OF INCIVILITY AT THE TORONTO CONVENTION, Toronto, Ont., Aug.27.\u2014A despatch from Cleveland complains that several United States scientists had been suub- bed by the members of the Britsh Science Association at its recent meeting here.When shown to some of the members of the local committee they denied that any discourtesy had been shown to Ameri cans.If the Americans felt aggrieved they had not shown it while here.The Americans, however, were not alone in their complaint of discourtesy as the following from to-day\u2019s \u2018Telegram\u2019 will show : \u2018 Toronto learned to respect real scientists, but these local shams were a sore affliction.The newspaper men who bad to do with them are ready to swear that membership in the British Association must be an easy honor if these temporarily scientific gents know as little about science as they do about good sense and good.manners.\u2019 \u2014_\u2014\u2014 AN INTERESTING LAW POINT.An action which brings up an interesting law point has been entered by one D.8.Marquis, against the Sisters of Providence.The plaintiff was a boarder in one of the establishments of defendants, but having subsequently changed his quarters, at a moment when some board was due by him, he left some of his goods and chattels, A year elapsed without the Sisters fillng any clalm against lim, so Marquis alleges, and he now takes out a seizure to get back his effects which, he argues, are presently illegally detained by the Sisters.tee SENT TO JAIL FOR ASSAULT.To-day Mr.Lafontaine, the police magistrate, sentenced Joseph Caradeau, a laborer of Quebec.to jall for six weeks for assaulting a Mlttle girl aged eight years on the mountain yesterday afternoon.Special Constable McNulty arrested the prisoner on the complaint of the girl who said the man had forcibly kissed her.\u2014\u2014 lf MRS.OUIMET DANGEROUSLY ILL.The friends of the Hon.Judge Alderic Ouimet, will be very sorry to hear of the very scrious illness of Mrs.Ouimet.She was so weak vesterday afternoon that the last rites of the Church were administered, and her physicians entertain small hope of her recovery.ô DAILY WITNESS.WHISKEY ILLEGALLY SOLD.HEAVY FINES INCURRED FOR SELLING WHISKEY WITHOUT A LICENSE ON THE EXHIBITION GROUNDS.About half-past four yesterday afternoon High Constable Bissonnette and his assistants, armed with Police Court warrants.visited the Exhibition grounds and placed four men under arrest on the charge of selling liquor without a license.At the Central Station they gave their names as Damase Lapointe, Rachel street;

continuing the investigation into the Orr murder case.As faras the Crown is concerned, Mr.Murray will be ready to go on without delay.The rumors that he intended to drop the case are entirely without foundation, and it is his intention to conduct the case in the future, he having had charge of it up to the present time.Detective Klippert of Berlin has been looking after the matter during Mr.Murray\u2019s absence in New York, and in doing so has been acting entirely under instructions from Mr.Murray.Mr.Orr is strongly of the opinion that Allison is the murderer of his wife, and this conviction is growing firmer daily, as he quietly reviews the facts brought out at the coroner's inquest.He yester day finished hauling in his harvest, the neighboring farmers kindly lending him assistance, as the work was much delayed in, consequence of the late tragic affair.ADVERTISEMENTS.Constipation Causes fully half the sickness in the worid.It jetains the digested food too long in the

Montreal Bicycle Club's races are coming in rapidly.The competitors will include Boake, Greatrix, McCarthy, McLeod, Davidson, Carman and Moore.None of these riders have appeared here since the diamond meet of 1895.Since that time they have beon doing some great riding, which is sufficient guarantee that Saturday\u2019s races will be close and exciting.Davidson took more places on the recent Michigan circuit than any other rider, while at the C.W.A.champlonship meet, at Chat- ham, he captured the half-mile championship in 1.03: the one mile championship in 2.06 2-5, and the two-mile tandem in 4.84 4-5, McCarthy ran close up in all finishes, and took places in the half-mile championship, the one-mile championship, the five-mile championship, and captured the half-mile open and the one-mile open.Greatrix is an old-timer.who has always shown his ability to put up a hot finish, and at Chatham he ran second in the flve.mile championship.McLeod has always been known as a fast man, and ever since he came to the front as an amateur he has figured every year among the firsts at the championship Ineets.This year he took third money in the mile open and gathered in the five-mile championship.Carman and Moore are in the professional ranks this year for the first time.Both of them have been making gocd money on the Ontario circuit.At the championship meet, while still an amateur, Moore secured the half-mile and ran second in the mile, being beaten by inches by Sexton in the fast time of 2.04 4-5.The racing among the local riders will be of the keenest sort.Drury, Coussirat, Tui, Eaves, Provencher, Robertson, the Morin brothers, Cooke and many others are all in perfect condition, and will give the western riders all the going they want.The two- mile tandem provincial championship and the one-mile provincial championships will be very close, as they are the blue ribbons of the meet.The Morin brothers have been working hard on the tandem, while Eaves end Provencher are clipptng off two miles in 4.20.L.D.Robertson will probably have Macnaughton of Huntingdon behind him, while Coussirat and Tuff are going to make some one hustle for the championship medals.If there is no wind this race will be dene in the neighborhood of 4.20.One Mlle Novice.W.H.Mace, Arthur Houghton, Percy H.Evans, M.B.C.; W, G.Munro, unattached; G.D.Hall.H.B.Lyman, A.BE.Seath,

are certainly in the very pink of condition.The arrangements for the excursion.which the club is running by the Canadian Pacific Railway, are all complete.The tickets are good to go on Friday evening, on the regular trairs on Saturday, and also by the spectal train on the day of the match, which leaves Windsor station at 10 a.m.The excursionists may return by the special which leaves Ottawa in the

tier that they be dispersed and disarmed.No such success as they have temporarily gained has ever before been recorded on the north-west border.The government is bound in common prudence to mobilize! a force at Peshawar strong enough to traverse the whole country south and the | Khyber Pass from end to end.The policy of disarmament has never been at- - tempted heretofore with the Pathan tribes, but it must now be introduced, as there is ample evidence that the Afri- dis are largely armed with breech-loading rifles, and recent experiences show the danger to the frontier from masses of armed tribesmen nominally under the political influence of the British Govern- | ment.\u2019 \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 A.O.F.OFFICERS.Owen Sound, Ont., Aug.27.\u2014The election of officers for the subsidiary high court of Canada of the Ancient Order of Foresters resulted as follows :\u2014High chief ranger, Mr.H.J.Sneigrove, Co- bourg ; high sab-chief ranger, Mr.W.Baird, Galt ; high treasurer, Mr.H.F.Griffiths, Toronto ; officer, Dr.T.Secord, Brantford : permanent secretary, Mr.W.Williams, St.Mary's ; high court senior warden, Mr.S.H.Kent, Hamilton ; high court junior warden, Mr.G.Dulmage, Belleville ; high court senior beadle.Mr.H.J.Boyd, London ; high court junior beadle, Mr.W.G.Scott, Mount Forest ; auditors, Messrs.F.Abbott, Meaford ; I.Calley, Mount Forest ; laws and relief committee, Bros.Vale, McWatt, Mills, Morrell, Chappell ; district chief ranger for Montreal, Bro.A.Tattersall, The bigh court continued in session corsidering amendments to laws until eleven o'clock last evening.Toronto was selected as the next place of meeting.ANARCHISTS ACTIVE.RESOLVE TO AVENGE ANGIOLILLO'S DPIATH.London, Aug.27\u2014A despatch to the: \u2018Daily Mail from San Sebastian, says that the Spanish Government has learned that at a secret anarchist meeting in London, it was resolved to revenge the execution of Angiolilln, the assassin of Kenor Canovas Del Castillo, by an attempt upon the life of the Queen Regent of Spain.detectives, it is reported, have been detailed to protect the Queen Regent.high court medical : Twenty of the ablest Barcelona G.A.R.ENCAMPMENT.PRESIDENT M'KINLEY REFUSED ADMITTANCE BY A POLICEMAN\u2014FLAG INCIDENT AT TORONTO.Buffalo, N.Y., Aug.26.\u2014 The Grand Army veterans settled down to business to-day, and at ten o'clock this morning the annual convention was opened.There was a keen fight between Cincinnati and San Francisco for next year\u2019s encampment, but the former city won on the first ballot.Gen.J.P.8.Cobin, of Lebanon, Pa., was chosen as commander- in-chief.President McKinley, this morning visited Cayuga Island, down the Ni- the Pan-American Exposition to be held there in 1900.Shortly before noon the President left for Cleveland on Senator Before leaving the city to-day President McKinley met with a somewhat unusual experience.He had been requested to veterans are quartered in tents.President drove to the camp shortly after nine o'clock.When the driver of his carriage attempted to pass under the arch spannihg the GRÉRERES to ENE camp, ! he was stopped by a policeman who said | that no carriages were allowed to enter i the grounds.The driver informed the | policeman as to the president\u2019s presence {in the carriage and attempted to proceed, but the policeman was obdurate.He said he had orders not to admit a carriage and he would obey his orders irrespective of ite occupants.[he President took the matter good naturedly and ordered his driver to return to the hotel.The incident created considerable comment in Grand Army and other circles to-day, and opinions vary widely as to whom the blame for the mistake should fall on.The committee who had arranged for the President\u2019s visit and neglected to notify the officer guarding the entrance are receiving the lion's share of the blame.Toronto, Aug.26.\u2014A flag incident occurred here to-day in connection with a party of sixty Grand Army of the Re- agara river, and turned the first sod for!

House and asked the collector for a Brit-| | ish flag.The collector could not give, | them a flag, but directed the veterans to, à store up town where they could buy\u2019 i one.The party then marched up one of - | the principal streets with band playing, ! t and a handsome large Stars and Stripes | floating in the breeze.Their appearance: on the streets with their national flag, {unaccompanied by the Union Jack, seems | to have created some unfavorable com- i ment, and one of the evening papers says they were hissed, and the police were asked to enforce the by-law to make the ! punishment fit the crime.But, arrived: .at the store indicated, they bought a f gmall Union Jack, and hired a news-boy ! to carry it, and they kept within the pro- | Visions of the flag by-law.THE SHOOTING AT TORONTO.\u2018« { Toronto, Aug.27\u2014The third day of: \u2018the O.R.A.resulted in some good shooting, wind and light alike being favorable.The case of the corporation match fired Wednesday but disputed, the protested team, the D.R.A., withdrew, and prizes were awarded as fol lows: \u20141et prize, T.adies' Challenge Cup, \u201cvalue $150, and 330, Hespeler, R.A., 273: \"2nd prize, $25, 12th Battalion, York, 259; 3rd prize, $20, 77th, Dundee, 258; 4th prize, #15, 45th Battalion, Lindsay, 255; {5th prize, $10, 30th Battalion.Guelph, 253.In this connection the D.R.A.| team, which made 275, but was protested, sent to the executive a letter stating that they withdrew, rather than accept the icup accompanied by any disagreeable sentiment on the part of their brother i marksmen, but at the same time mak- \"ing a sharp protest.In the Mulock (aggregate) the results were:\u20141, Elkington Cup, N.R.A.silver medal and $15, Lt.W.IL.Ross, 13th Mamilton, 285; 2.Governor-(General\u2019s silver medal and 812, Pte.W.Swaine, 14th 'P.W,, Kingston, 285; 3, Governor-Gen- \u2018 eral's bronze medal and £10, Pte.J.M.i McVittie, 18th Highlanders, Toronto, 1985: 4, D.R.A.silver medal and $10, Pte.| R.McLaren, 48th, 283; 5, D.R.A.bronze medal and 38, liieut.T.Mitchell, 12th \"York, 282.!

also that some Jess valuable firds have been made near Stewart river, High prices and wages remain as heretofore reported.According to recent mews from the Yukon, water has been scarce for hy- draulie purposes, but better arrangements will be provided for those operations next year.Flour is still selling in the interior for sixty dollars per sack of fifty pounds, and like prices are asked for other staple articles.Miners who were employed in mines near Juneau and who went to the Yukon river, have had their places all filled by recent arrivals so that now there is no special demand for labor here and it will be worse than folly for a man to come to Juneau expecting to get work during the winter months.He should be provided with money enough to take care of himself until spring.The weather has continued favorable for those on the trail, and altogether it has been an exceptionally fine season for outdoor operations and a compara- FripAy, AvousT 27, 1897.THE MINERS\u2019 STRIKE.PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN FEDERA- * TION OF LABOR CONFIDENT THAT THE STRIKERS WILL WIN.Washington, D.C., Aug.26.\u2014\\Mr.Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, gave his view of the present coal strike situation as follows :\u2014 Between six hundred and seven and six West Virginia are now closed down completely.À letter just received from the !
