Tie effect will make for still greater! siinity between England and this! \u201cung nation.This will be the general! \u201cet with respect to all the colonies, hut \u201cwe manner in which Canada was singled | (T3 calculated to touch our pride wholesome simple anh patriotism.x ., ban Her Majesty ascended the.rune, the French-Canadians in this! country were in rebellion.Lonking back | \u201cen the events of that time we must ad- : 7.that they had some justice and ren | \u201con their side.The condition of af-!

As to the fast Atlantic service, his .Lordship was very emphatic in his belicf \u2018that the money will be forthcoming and that Canada will have her fast service ac- _cording to the contract.\u2018There is , plenty of money in England, you kuow, and I can say that from what I have \u2018 heard\u2014and I may perhaps say that I 73 Administrator i 1 ; if, ne RA, 6 \\ Wi MAJOR J.M.WALSH, A of the Yukon.before long, will make for a mutual feel- | Canadian tariff which sought to give ad- : ; vantage to England, his Lordship sud!

whereas, by article 3,0661 of the same act, when smallpox exists in a municipality, such municipality must immediately use all possible means to prevent the disease from spreading, the Board of Health of the Province of Quebec regrets the position taken by the Bogrd of Catholic School Commissioners of Montreal in refusing to follow the suggestion made to it by the City Health Department, to admit into their schools only the children who will produce vaccination certificates.\u201cIn view of this want of co-operation from the Catholic School Commissioners with the civie \u2018health authorities respecting a measure which is necessary to the protection of the public, it is resolved to advise the city health officer to have one of his assistants attend the opening of each of the schools which are under the control of the said commissioners and ask each intended pupil for his certificate of vaccination.\u201cThe Board of Health of the Province of Quebec desires to express ils satisfaction at the promise of co-operation re- | ceived from the Board of Protestant | School Commissioners.\u201d The secretary was also instructed to send a circular to all the municipalities of the province, urging them to encourage vaccination by providing for the vaccination of the poor, and to require vac- ciation certificates from all school children or other students.FINE AND WARM.Meteorological Office, Toronto, Aug, 30, 11 a.m.\u2014The following are the maximum and minimum temperatures :\u2014Calgary, 76\u201442 ;

to jail to await trial at the first court of competent juris diction.Mr.Phillips, president of the York County Loan and Saving Company, was present.From the evidence it would appear that Mrs.V.L.White, the local agent, is an unusually shrewd business woman.The prisoner, who was well dress ed, posed as Inspector Hamilton of the company, and after looking over her books said that bv a new rule the inspector was to collect all money on hand.She refused to comply and telegraphed to the president, who ordered his arrest.When here a couple of years ago Woods was arrested on a charge of theft but the case was dismissed for want of evidence.tf ONTARIO NOMINATIONS.Toronto, Aug.30.\u2014The Conservatives of Prince Edward and North Essex constituencies in Ontario met on Saturday for the

LONDON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.DISCUSSED THE COMMERCIAL RELATIONS OF THE DOMINION AND THE BRITISH EMPIRE.\"(Special Correspondence of the \u2018 Witness.\u2019) Liverpool, Aug.18\u2014Sir Wilfrid and Lady Laurier arrived in London from Paris on Sunday evening, and on Monday evening left, together with the rest of their party, for Dublin.Brief, however, as was the Premier\u2019s stay in London, time was given for a very interesting ceremony, namely, the presentation of the gold medal awarded him by the Cobden Club in recognition of the distinguished services he had rendered to the cause of free trade.The deputation from the club which assembled at the Hotel Cecil on Monday afternoon included Lord Farrer (with whom was Lady Farrer), and Mz.F.Fisher Unwin, the wellknown publisher, who was accompanied by Mrs.Unwin\u2014the daughter of Richard Cobden.In acknowledging the presentation, which was made by Lord Farrer, Sir Wilfrid remarked that amongst the various honors which he had received during the past two months from the Queen, the President of the French Republic, the universities and other bodies, this gift from the Cobden Club was by no means the least appreciated.Continuing, he said: \u2018In Canada we have had the protection system, and we have to deal with it gradually and carefully.The only reform of a permanent character we have achieved is this\u2014that no duty shall be levied simply for protection, but only for revenue.Further than that we cannot go at the moment.But the principle is laid down upon which larger measures can proceed.We may all admit that the dream of freedom as advocated by the great man whose image I have now before me has not been realized.Now that a second country-Canada\u2014has adopted freedom of trade I hope and believe as her guiding star, other countries may follow.I was a free trader before I came to England.I am still more a free trader having seen what free trade has done in England.Commenting on the presentation, the publication remarks that the speeches were such as clear up the doubts entertained by the Rt.Hon.Leonard Courtney, M.P., and others, since Sir Wilfrid showed plainly that Canada had no intention of being a party to a scheme of Imperial Protection, the object in view being to reciprocate free trade with England, and with any other country that is enlightened enough to realize the virtues of unrestricted exchange.Apropos of Sir Wilfrid's remark that he was and is a free trader, the parting words addressed to him by the Liverpool \u2018 Daily Post\u2019 will doubtless be of interest.In an editorial note in to-day\u2019s issue, that journal says :\u2014\u2018 Sir Wilfrid Laurier has learned something since he came to this side of the Atlantic.He has grasped a great truth which many people living here have not perceived.A class of economists has come into existence whose nect at La Salle avenue, Maisonneuve.real, but only one-sided free trade.Give us fair trade, they say, and then we shall have real free trade.Now, what Sir Wilfrid Laurier has learned is that what is called one-sided free trade, is all in favor of England, and that so long as Continental and other nations adhere to protection and we stick to our one-sided free trade, we have nothing to fear from Continental opposition.This is an economical truth that is very well known to all free traders of the Cobden school, who know quite well that the protecting tariffs of competing nations protect British trade in every neutral market in the world, but it appears to be a new light for Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and he is taking it back to Canada with him.He was a free trader before he came here, but after the Canadian pattern; he is going back again a free trader of the orthodox British School.\u2019 SIR L.H.DAVIES.On Monday afternoon Major-General Laurie, M.P., presided at a special meeting of the London Chamber of Commerce, when Sir Louis Davies delivered en address on the commercial relations of the Dominion and the British empire.The Minister of Marine and Fisheries outlined the natural advantages possessed by Canada, and explained briefly the state of things, to remedy which the new tariff was introduced.He referred to the obligation imposed on the company which would operate the new fast line of steamers to carry emigrants for less money than any other line which crossed the Atlantic, and laid special stress on the establishment of cold storage d-pots in almost every port in Canada for those products that could satisfactorily be disposed of in the mother country.Canada was prepared to supply the best everything agricultural that could be transported by cold storage, and he believed that in the future the motto \u2018Made in Canada\u2019 would be the best passport.a A large number of well-known mon were present, and the interest felt in the subject was evidenced by a number of questions subsequently put in regard to the operation of the denunciation of the treaties and kindred matters.Sir Louis\u2019s address has also attracted considerable attention throughout England generally, as witnessed by the innumerable (and favorable) press comments thereon published in the course of the last two days.Speaking of emigrants, reminds cne of the immense falling off in the numb-r from Ireland.This, IT was recently told by one who has studied the matter, has been \u201cparticularly noticeable during the past few months, the cause to which it is attributable being, perhaps, that the doctrine of \u2018stay at home in your own country\u2019 is now being preached more vigorously than it ever was before in the Emerald Isle.But, be the cause what it may, the result is that the slump has been such that so far from being a drug on the market\u2014as in time of famine and other dire calamity\u2014the Irish emigrant bids fair to become almost as much a \u2018rara avis\u2019 as the Great Auk, THE KLONDIKE FEVER.The numerous warnings against venturing into the Klondike region at this time of year\u2014to which Sir Louis Davies added another in his Monday's speech\u2014 may possibly have had the desired effect, but the general anxious desire for information respecting the land of gold haz by no means been quenched.For instance, Lieut.-Colonel Domville has been so deluged with correspondence on this subject that he has been compelled to announce through the columns of a leading London daily that it is absolutely impossible for him to answer all the letters he receives about the gold fields.When the Canadian Government issued the stamps the Post-Office Department decided that orly two sets should be presented\u2014one to Lady Aberdeen and Monpay, AvausT 30.1807 \\ me | half of the Canadian Government pr sented one

GREETED BY CHEERING CROWDS.AND PRESENTED WITH A FLATTERING ADDRESS FROM THE CITIZENS, Quebec, Aug.30.\u2014On Saturday afternoon at 2.30 the second and most impor- tint feature of the Quebec reception to Sie Wilirid and Lady Laurier took plane >, when taey were escorted by a large pro- « ssion from the Chauteau Frantenac to Victoria Park through strcets brilliant with decorations and lined with cheer- nz crowds, while another vast concourse tt people was assembled in the park to creer them, and made the air ring with er applauze on their arvrival.The cvic address of welcome was then jre- ¢ nted by Mayor Parent, both 'n French ard English.It congratulated the dist:nzuished couple on their happy return t» Canada, and expressed the special pride which Quebec took on being the first to greet them on again touching Ca- radian soil, It also referred in eloquent terms to the success of the Pre- ner's mission and the distinguished zuanner in which he had represented the Deminion at the Queen\u2019s jubilee, as well a in I'rance, the splendid way in which «+ had voiced the lovalty of all races nd sections of the t'anadian people to England and to the masterly revenge he \u201cad

all pleased at his loyalty to England ; but ire could only say that his heart was overflowing with gratitude to her, and that he could never be aught else but loyal to such a country.This however, was not all.Canada must be made to advance, and to this end her governments should Le one of earnest business men aiming at her development.There were some who lived onlv to make war en governments.They worked only for the country\u2019s gnod.The government, it is true, had not existed very long, hut its time had not been lost.In fact, without wishing to injure the fe=!'ings of any one.he thought that it had done more in the same time than any previous administration.While on this subject, there was one matter of special interest to Quebeckers to which he referred.It was that of the fast line of trans-Atlantie steamers.He thought that he was in a position to assure them that it is now a certainty, and that inside of two years, they would see vessels equal in sped to any merchantmen now afloat enter the harbor of Quebec.In equipment, ete., too.they would be the best that can be had.Some parties had spread the report that the contract would never be carried ont.Fe did not positively assure them that the fast line is a \u2018fait accompli,\u201d but believed that all will yet be well as regards it.In conclusion, he again returned his warmest thanks and those of I.ady Laurier to the citizens of Quebec, and especially to his electors of Quebec East, who had stood by him in ill-fortune as well as success.The termination ol the Premier\u2019s reply, which was substantially repeated by him in English, was the signal for prolonged | applause.Speeches were also made by Hon.Mr.Marchand, Mr.Edwards, M.P., the Hon.Mr.Duffy, the Hon.F.Lange- lier and the Hon.Charles Fitzpatrick, after which cheers were again given for the Premier and Lady Laurier, and the zathering broke up.In leaving the park some excitement was caused by one of the horses in Lady LLaurier\u2019s carriage rearing and falling, but no harm was done, and Ald.Tanguay handed her safcly out of the vehicle.In the evening took place, in the coun- cit chamber of the City Hall, the social feature of the demonstration, when Lady Leurier was presented by her admirers with a beautiful grand Heintzman piano.The instrument is a magnificent one and all hoped that she might long be spared to use it.About eight o'clock the crowd began to congregate and by 8.30 the council chamber was filled with ladies and gentlemen, including all the local notabilities.The address of welcome to Her Ladyship was couched in very choice and pretty language and was read by the Mayor, tp whom Madame Laurier replied.She spoke simply and slowly, but showing very clearly her emotion and pleasure at the gift, which would grace a palace.Her Ladyship thanked her hearers from the bottom of her heart, and said that she could never forget the day.As she was no speech-maker she would ask her husband to say something for her.This he did, very willingly and well, and keeping the room in excellent spirits.Afterwards the Misses Talbot of Quebec + CERT 5 D Fi SRT BR TE EAA TEN PS AN Rn Sb LT ARENT mere ÉTÉ pe played a duet on the instrument with beautiful touch and taste.After a little social intercourse the party left the City Hall, where the Battery band furnished music in the corridors and went in procession to Victoria Park, where a grand and unique display of fireworks had been provided.The finest piece of all was a set one representing in outline the features of the Right Honorable, the Premier.The beauties of the fireworks were freely admired and then at the close, the party dispersed and the demonstration was a thing of the past.Quebec, Aug.30.\u2014Last night Sir Wilfrid and Lady Laurier, accompanied by @ \u2018 Mayor Farent, the Hon.F.Langelier, the Hon.R.Turner, Mr.Edwards, M.P., left on the \u2018Druid\u2019 for Montreal.At nine o'clock this morning the party, who will 9 be joined at Montreai by the Hon.Chas.Fitzpatrick, will Le at Three Rivers, where an address will be presented to the Premier and at three o'clock Sorel will also present him with an address.At six o'clock he will te the subject of a demonstration at Vercheres and at eight o'clock he will reach Montreal.Sir Wilfrid and Lady Laurier, Hon.Mr.Marchand and a number of other local notabilities were

by two little girls, Miss Tourigny and Miss Birdsell, who received the customary greeting, Mayor Cook read a very flattering address to which Sir Wilfrid replied in his usual masterly manner.He said he was pleased to see so many Conservatives in the large crowd of citizens who had come to greet him.He was also tlattered to see politics sunk for the moment, and said that if the Liberals had any differences with the Conservatives he had not.He spoke of his splendid reception in Furope, and everywhere he went and said that Canada's Premier had been honored by all.At 10.45 the party shook hands with all near and returned ; to the \u2018Druid\u2019 amidst the hurrahs of the crowd.Messrs.P.E.Panneton and F.S.Tourigny went on board and accompani- ! ed the visitors as far as Sorel.The recep- i

Dr.Coyle, public vaccinator, reports that the wish to be vaccinated is growling among all classes of the community, and that French-Canadians now submit far more readily to vaccination than they did during the outhbreak of 1885.Dr.Laberge regretted that the Catholic Board of Scheol Commissioners should not have sern their way clear to demand from all pupils a certificate of vaccination before they are permitted to resume their studies.He intended.however, to see th: commissioners and urge them to adopt this course, which the Protestant School (\"owmmissioners and other bodies had decided to follow.No new cases were reported to the Provincial Board of Health thiz morning.A report was made to the civie Health Department tis morning that two new cases had broken out, one in ; the east end and the other in the west, ! but upon investigation the reports were found to be without foundation.A SCHOOI, COMMISSIONER EXPLAINS When spoken to yesterday respecting the resolution of the Provincial Board of Health hlaming the attitude of the Catholic School Commissioners on the vaccination question, one of the members of the commission said that as a judge was present at the last meeting of the School Board, they must be supposed to have known what was their right, amd he could now only repeat that they cou'd not exact a vaccination certificate from the parents.Let the Board of Health adopt measures in consequerfce, and all would be for the best.2 FIRE ON WILLIAM STREET.DEFTRUCTION OF ME88KS.BRAYLEY & SONS' PREMISES YESTERDAY.A fire which broke out yesterday morning between half-past three and four o'clock resulted in the complete destruction of the premises of Messrs.Brayley & Sons, wholesale druggists, 43 and 45 William street.The fire burned for about half an hour before it was discovered when an alarm was sent in to No.4 station.Captain Briere on setting out from the station at once perceived the extent of the fire and sent in a general alarm.As it was on arriving at the scene the fire was found blazing in such a manner that no men could enter the building, so they had to do the best they could from the outside.The flames had, however, gained so complete a mastery that the firemen were unable to make any headway and in two hours the building was burned out.The fire seems to have commencel in the second story of the building, but how it originated no one at present can say.Every precaution possible against fire was taken and Mr.J.M.Brayley, who was seen this morning by a \u2018Witness\u2019 reporter, stated that he wis unable to account for it.He further added that he could not state the exact loss, but everything was covered by insurance.Mr.Brayley was on the Inokout for temporary premises at once, for he is determined that there shall be no interruption to the business.Le INCLINE RAILWAY TO RUN TONIGHT.The Incline Railway Company will run their cars up to ten o'clock to-night in order that people may be enabled to witness the illuminations from the top of the mountain.The spectacle thus afford- Ped will doubtless be a pretty one.-\u2014 NAVAL PROMOTIONS London, Aug.30.\u2014The forthcoming promotions will include the raising of Lord Charles Beresford to the rank of Rear Admiral.Lord Charles is at present a captain in the Royal Navy.nA ptrrté er ctor dh Si LoS to on dR SRL a A D.R.A.MATCHES.OPENED THIS MORNING AT OTTAWA UNDER FAVORABLE CONDITIONS.A MONTREALER WINS THE BANKERS AND A HALIGONIAN THE NURSERY.Ottawa, Ont., Aug.30.\u2014The annual meeting of the Dominion Rifle Association opened this moming on the Rideau ranges.The weather was most favor able for shooting, and the Nursery first was won by two points higher than last year\u2019s score.The executive officer of the meeting is Major P.B.Taylor, of the Guards, Ottawa.The Nursery match, which was the first shot off, resulted as follows :\u2014 $20, Gunner Farrell, First Artillery of Halifax, 25 points.$15, Private Hodgson, 45th Battalion, 24 points.$10, Sergt.Monge, 65th .-Battalion, 24 points.The folowing were even with 23 points, and won $6 each :\u2014Pte.Bartlett, 71st ;

until the market culminates in a topheavy condition and topples over of its own weigh: It would not be surprising if this process o: elevation, takes the next twelve months for its completion.The most successful way of dealing on a merket of this character isto take moderate profits, and buy in again upon the nekt drop.The market has vit to receive its main stimulus.It has rise 1 so far upon anticipations.When we witness the realization in uniform large jn- crerses of earnings among the railways, when the swelling of tha interior deraand for merchandise based on dollar wheat has told its tale in the distributing markets, when the Increased demard for goods begins to advance commercial values; when cur enormous cotton crop reaches the stage cf marketing: and when another large surplus of exports over imports brings a free importation of gold,\u2014then we shall have the force of things seen in place of the hope of things unseen, and Wall street will witness such a harvest as it has not seen for many A few weeks more will land us in that stage of the great recovery;

that the players in these clubs are more or less directly paid for playing.The half-heartei deniais of professionalism made from time to time have convinced nobody.Pending such conclusive proof to the contrary as those interested may wish to furnish there is enough evidence to justify us in assuming that the game is professional.Why not frankly admit it?The clubs at present pose as amateur clubs.The public believes that the position is a false one.If this is so we have discovered the cause of the present ry oe Rr very unsatisfactory condition of lacrosse, It .behooves all interested in our grand national game to unite in demanding a change.The only cure is an open, above-board professionalism.\u2019 BASEBALL.The following is the standing of the clubs in the Eastern League:\u2014 Per- Club.Won.Lost.cent.Toronto .\u2026.\u2026.& 40 603 Syracuse .66 44 .600 Buffalo .65 44 .568 Springfield .58 44 .568 Providence .b4 51 .614 Scranton .48 49 .484 Montreal .3 9 .336 Wilkesbarre .27 10 278 WILKESBARRE DEFEATS MONTREAL.Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug.25S.\u2014 Montreal was easily defeated by Wilkesbarre to-day.Montreal playad a lifeless game and made costly errors, while Becker was hit hard and often.Odwell pitched very effectively for Wilkesbarre, and allowed only one man to reach third base.Score:\u2014 R.H.Wilkesbarre.200203300 10 16 4 Montreal .000000000 0 6 Batteries\u2014Odwell and Gonding ;
