easily be forgotten.It occurred off Lowestoft, England, and was caused by careless seamanship on the collier \u2018Crathie,\u201d which was also badly damaged in the collision.Referring to the awful story, the Norfolk \u2018People\u2019s Journal\u2019 of Aug.28, says: \u2018Twenty only were saved in the single boat that got away.They were picked up by the smack \u201cWildflower,\u201d and landed at Lowestoft in the afternoon of the fatal day.The occurrence caused the greatest excitement at the time, and this was sustained for many days, owing to corpses, bales of goods, and wreckage from the steamer being landed at Lowestoft.Our smacksmen, too, have lost many valuable sets of gear through fouling the sunken liner.She lies, as some will know.in about sixteen fathoms of water, in the vicinity of what is known as the Brown Ridges, the fishing grounds for about three months in the year of the Lowestoft trawlers.It need hardly be said that the thoughts of those with whom salvage is a business have often been turned with longing to the valuable cargo and precious metal lying buried on the sunken liner on the ocean's bed.But it seemed that after the lapse of nearly three years, no attempt would be made to secure the valuables the ship contained, to say nothing of her engines, fittings, etc.Such, however, is not the case, for the posibility of bring: ing them to the surface has been seriously considered, and for some time now the world-famed American Wrecking and Salvage Company have been in communication on the subject with Mr.Charles W.Dance, the well-known salvage agent of Lowestoft.Many letters have passed, and the company are now considering final arrangements for raising the cargo from the \u2018Elbe.\u2019 mecs COURT OF QUEEN\u2019S BENCH.TWO KINDS OF BARS.The afternoon session of the Court of Queen's Bench yesterday was confined t» the hearing of the case of Milmay and Naegle, chargel with stealing from the person.In cross-examination of a hack- man named Dunn Mr.Weir for the defence asked, \u2018Did you see the prisoners at the bar ?\u2019 \u2018They were not at the bar,\u201d replied Dunn, \u2018they were in the hack.\u2019 Judge Wurtele had to explain to the witness that there were two kinds of bars, one where legal lore is dispensed and the other where liquor is the predominating spirit.The case is being continued this morning as the defence has a large number of witnesses to call.pe WATER MAIN BREAKS.mains which passes under the canal in a line with the wheel house the superintendent of the water department has had to write the city survevor asking him not to water the streets till the break is repaired.The break occurred under the canal and so is somewhat difficult to repair.There is no danger of a diminution in the ordinary eupply of water to houses; it was deemed wise, however, to order that no more water be used for street sprinkling till the break is repaired.The water has also beeg turned off from the troughs in the city.pets SIR WILFRID AND THE KLONDIKE.Sir Wilfrid Laurier recently paid a visit to Mr.Lord, the Canadian explorer, who recently returned from the Klondike with a fortune of eighty

adopted a resolution recommending all societies aftiliated with the congress to, by all means possible restrict or abolish overtime in their respective trades.The following resolution was then passed: \u2014 \u2018That this congress is of opinion that the law as it relates to intimidation during strikes or lockouts, is unfair and unjust as it punishes by fines or imprisonment any worker judged guilty of assaulting or preventing through fear, another worker from working, while allowing employers to black-list workers or to discharge or obtain the discharge of workers who may have been on strike or locked out, thus intimidating workers from pursuing their lawful employment.\u2019 The parliamentary committee of the congress was instructed to at once move to extend the law in the requisite direction.The employment of \u2018children in factories gave rise to considerable discus.gion.The National Union of Gas Workers and General Laborers introduced the following resolution: \u2014\u2018 Considering that the employment of children in factories and workshops, and on board river and canal craft, and their consequent exploitation by the capitalists, is injurious to | the children, unjust to their parents and a crime against the human race; considering the infamous fact that the children of the working classes have not the same opportunities of the class-room and the playground as the children of the capitalist class; considering that im this connection Great Britain is behind other countries; considering that unhappy parents under an unhappy system are actually willing, and even anxious to have their children torn from school and hurled into the factory, this congress is of opinion that the time has come (for Great Britain has ceased building its empire on children\u2019s hearts), to give up coining its wealth out of children\u2019s wasted lives, and hereby instructs the parliamentary committee to demand as a temporary minimum from the government: \u2014 (a) The abolition of child labor under the age of fifteen, and (b) of all night labor under the age of eighteen.\u2019 The resolution was opposed by the delegates who represented the textile workers.They declared that if the age at which a child could be legally employed was raised to fifteen years the children would never become efficient at their trades.In spite of the opposition, the resolution was adopted by a vote of 585,000 to 274,000 of the Unionists represented by their delegates at the congress.\u2018COOKSHIRE PRIZE-WINNERS.Cookshire, Que., Sept.9.\u2014The second day of the

THE QUESTION OF NATIONALITY.Halifax, Sept.9.\u2014Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper continued his address before the Behring Sea Commission to-day, touching on the question of nationality.Tak ing up the release of the vessels in 1896, he contended that they were released and bonded as British vessels.In the despatch reporting the seizure of the \u2018Thornton,\u2019 \u2018Carolina,\u2019 and \u2018Onward,\u2019 from the Secretary of State to \u2018he district officer of Sit- ku, the vessels were referred to as Drit- ish vessels.The United States, he declared, made such seizures without the] color of a cleim af authority.He contended that when \u201cMr.Blaine drafted the treaty of 1892 with England, knowing at the time that American citizens were protected by the British flag, the failure on his part to urge any lack of protection of the tlag to sealers placed the present argument in rather a doubtful position.| It was England alone who could punish the owners of the vessel guilty of securing registry by fraud.He cited the stand taken by the United States in the case of the \u2018Virginius\u2019 in support of his argument.He quoted from Wharton, who held that an impeachment of the registry of a United States vessel must be made through the United States, but the - United States must be the sole judge of the validity of such registration.Sir Charles claimed that registration of a vessel was a clear certificate of the na- .tional character of that vessel.The flag, im time of peace, is aleo a sufficient ia- dication of such character, :

yesterday !n the case of the Mont- Teal Street Rallway Company vs.the Montreal Park & Island Company.By this action the company plaintiff claimed from defendant the sum of $9,188.97, under the following circumstances.Under a deed of lease certain electric cars were rented by plaintiff to defendant, the rental being flxed at five percent of tue values placed upon the cars in the deed.In July 1896, the buildings on the Exhibition grounds where these cars had been stored for the night were destroyed by fire, and three of the cars were completely lost, while eight were injured.Hence the present action, the defendant being charged with negligence.The company defendant rcpudiated all responsibility, alleging that the loss was dun to force majeure, and that.in any event,the value of the cars as specified in the deed, could not be claimed, said value having been inserted simply to establish a figure of rental on a basis of five percent.It was further pleaded that defendant had already been fully indemnified by the Insurance companies.In rendering judgment the Court held that it bad been clearly established that the fire could have been controlled and extinguished very easily if any precautions had been taken, such as the occasion required.Defendant had stored the leased cars in an old wooden building dry and exceedingly inflammable.The greatest precautions were necessary under the circumstances, but no precaution at all appeared to have been taken.Under the circumstances, the defendant must be held responsible for the damage.On the other hand.plaintiff's contention as to the value of the cars could not be entertained.The price of cars had gone down very coasiderably at the time, and there was overwhelming proof that the cars destroyed could be replaced at the figuras given by the insurance experts.Plaintiff how.ing received from the Insurance companies the sum of $3,048.40, and the actual damage being 35,750.90, judgment must go In favot of plaintiff for $2,708.50 and costs.ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE.THE CIVIL ENGINEER PROFESSORSHIF.Kingston, Ont, Sept.9\u2014Prof.Butler of King's College, Windsor, NS, has, after all, accepted the position of professor of

this morning the celebrated Capi- \u2018al lacrosse case against Joseph Troy, John Shea, Frink Bissonette and George McCrea was taken up.Carlton, Devine and McK.Shea, the other defendants, were not called.Mr.Ritchie, whe appeared as Crown Prosecutor, askid that Carlton and MeCrea be dis- chizrzed, as he wanted them as witnesses.Mr.J.L.Dowling, who appeared for the defence, nbjected without a new order being made ont, but the application was finally granted.M.J.Gorman and A.E.Fripp also app'ared for the defence.Three wituesses, George McRae of Prescott, Harry Carlton and Michael Shen, were hrard, and the magistrate refusing to sit later than 11.30, put the case over till to-morrow.The case so far proved amounted to this: The (Capitals, who are champions, were to play a team which was so weak that they had not been able to win a game, while the Capitals were considered invincible.Nevertheless, (Genrge McRae of Prescott was asked to come tn Ottawa and place thirteen hundred dollars in bets that the Torontos would win.They got peopie to bet ten dollars on the Capitals to seven on the Torontos, until three thousand dollars was up.A mysterious man who is in communication with the def>n- dants then bribed some of the Capital players to play to lose, and after the match the three thousand dollars was handed over to one cf the defendants.This 15 the storv in outline as far as re venled.Mr.Ditehie, Crown Attorney, end I.R.Tatehford, the elub\u2019s counsel, appeared for the prosceution.Genrge MeRae cof Prescott, the first witness, «aid he was telephoned to by Jo- sepht Troy, one of the defendants, and came to Ottawa.Troy met him at the station and talked over lacrosse affairs with him.and gave McRae six hundred dollars.Ie went to the Grand Union Jtotel and bet four hundred on the To- rontos against five hundred, which a man ramed Pounder put up on the Capitals.Subesquently McRae was given two other sums of four hundred and three hundred, or thirteen hundred dollars in all.This monev was put nut in Ottawa, where, by the way, it was supposed-to be To- rento money, through the hotel clcrks, a cemmon practice heing for money to be leit at the hotel counters to be covered by any who choose.After the match, McRae having won all the bets, handed twenty-nine hundred dollars to Troy.Troy paid him one hundred and expenses.He had done similar things for Troy before, and so far as he knew the whole thing was a legitimate sporting transaction.Harry Carlton, one of the team who was discharged over this affair, was a hostile witness, but still was called by the Crown.He admitted having told Mr.Fred.Carling that Bissonnette had given him and Murphy and Devine fifty dellars each to throw the match in Toronto, but he went to Bissonnette afterwards and said that what he told Car- ling was a lie.He felt sorry for what he bad done.He went back and told Carling it was a lie.He now swore he never received money from any person for selling the game.He was offered a hundred dollars by Carling to tell him the story.He told him what he knew.He had received money from Bissonnette, Pittaway and others at various times.He received money from Pittaway, trea- gurer of the Capital Club, for playing lacrosse he supposed.Michael Shea, another of the discharged players, swore that he had received fifty dollars to help lcse the match.Before the match, however, he gave the money to J.C.Shea, one of the defendants, and asked J.C.Shea to return the fifty dollars to the man who gave it.When he took the money there was no betting on the match.He was sent to the man by J.C.Shea.He understood that the man\u2019s name was Graves from whom he got the money, but he did not know who he was.He was promised an additional fiftv dollars.Ile received ten five-dollar bills.He played his best at Toronto.Shea's evidence and manner was straight-' forward.The case was here adjourned.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A TRAGIC DEATH.Uewego, N.Y., Sept.9.\u2014Jesse

QUESTIONED, SAY THEY KNEW NOTHING OF IT.Boston, Sept.9.\u2014The \u2018 Herald\u2019 prints letters from twenty members of the fifty-fifth Congress, representing almost as many states, in reply to a circular, sent out to secure the facts in regard.to the passage of the famous section 22 of the Dingley Tariff bill.With one exception, the writers professed ignorance of the amendment to section 22.Congressman Cobbins of Pennsylvania says the change was called to his attention, and he believed then and believes now that it is all right, and that there was no trick or misunderstanding in the matter.Congressman Lacey of Towa says he examined the amended sceticn and wondered it was so skilfully drawn as to avoid existing treaties, as he supposed the! treatics would have to be annulled to make it operative.Other replies contain various references to the manmer in which the bill was passed, some complaining that it was \u2018 pushed through,\u2019 others that it was ; \u2018 smuggled in,\u2019 and denying knowledge of | the clause in question.SUREAD OF YELLOW FEVER.New Orleans, La, Sept.9.\u2014A bulletin from Ocean Spring, Miss., says: One death this morning at Ocean Springs.All

PUBLIC INSTRUCTION IN SESSION.QUESTION OF GOVERNMENT.GRANTS AGITATING THE MEMBERS Quebec, Sept.9.\u2014An important meeting of the Catholic Council of Public Instruction opened here yesterday, with all the members, both lay -and clerical, including Archbishop Bruchesi of Montreal for the first time in attendance.It is understood that some important matters, including the sanitary condition of schools and the question of vaccination, are to come up for discussion.The session is still in progress at the Educational Department in the Parliament buildings to-day.The gofernment is still represented on the council by Attorney-General Archambault, and there is a full attendance, all the lay members and the bishops being present except Mgrs.Lorrain and Gravel, who are represented by their grand vicars.It has been decided to recommend to the government the appointment of a board of examipers for candidates for teaching.This board will be composed of the following:\u2014Mgr.Laflamme, director of the Quebec Laval University; Grand Vicar Santaing from Valleyfield; the Rev.Mr.Dauth, from the archbishops; the Rev.J.H.Roy, professor of Sherbrooke College; Mr.F.X.Demers, director of the Plateau Academy of Montreal; Mr.Calixte Breault, school inspee- tor; Mr.John Tomkins, professor of English at Montreal College; Messrs.J.Hearn, C.N.Lefevre and J.Magnan, professors at the Quebec Laval Normal School, and Mr.J.N.Miller, secretary of the Public Instruction Department.There is at present before the members of the council, a motion of Mr.Masson io the effect that the money voted by the government to the school institutions should be divided pro rata according to the attendance in each of these schuols, and also that everyone of those institu tions, whether under the government's direct control or not, should be submitted to an inspection.The reason for bringing this motion is due to some complaints that some institutions whose as- | sets are reported to be much larger than their liabilities are getting more of the public money than they are entitled to.The bishops and their members of the council who always echo their lordships\u2019 sayings, are opposed to this, and considerable discussion prevails over this motion, brought by the minority of the council, A leading member of the council remarked to your correspondent to-day that as the monseigneurs have the ma- Jority in the Council of Public Instruction, they are always sure to have their own way im the direction of matters of public instruction.However, it is said on good authority that a radical change in \u2018the formation of the council in the near future is quite possible.A FEMALE TERROR.STOLE A BICYCLE AND RODE OVER LONG ISLAND DEFYING THE POLICE.Glen Cove, L.I., Sept.9.\u2014This section of Long Island has developed a new terror in the shape of a female tramp circulating on a stolen bicycle, Mrs.Emina Golden, who arrived here two weeks ago.She hired a wheel from H.K.Roberts and departed.Since then Constable Seaman of Roslyn has chased her all over Long Island.She has made an extensive and erratié tour, always keeping about half a day ahead of the officer.She slept, as she stated, \u2018where night caught her,\u2019 usually in barns.When the constable at last overtook her she surrendered cheerfully, remarking that she had enjoyed herself very much.She was put in jail, but as she has been there before she did not suffer.While doing her run around Long lsland Mrs.Golden called herself Bertha Denton.There is an estimable and © known young woman of that name at Hempstead, who was kept in a quiver of wrath and indignation by reading in various Long Island newspapers accounts of her ineteoric appearances and escapades in their respective communities.Her family have been overwhelmed with letters from friends who read these stories to enquire what on earth Bertha meant by these proceedings, and have received many visits of condolence.Miss Denton became thoroughly tired of sitting decently at home and reading rve- ports that on certain days she had torn through certain towns on a wheel at full speed, velling shrilly, defying the police, and demanding stimulants.Mrs.Golden thinks this was a great joke._ J.R.WILLARD & CO.ASSIGN.New York, Sept.9.\u2014James R.Willard Elmer Dwiggins and Jay Dwiggins.who Cumpose the

to carry out the new steamship service is progressing satisfsctorily.7 THE RIVER FALLING.Owing to the prevailing dry weather of the past two weeks the water in the river has fallen over a foot.In the

It was a hot day in July, and, weary from a long walk through the sweltering heat, I threw myself down upon the soft green grass that covered the lawn, intending to take a short nap in the cooling ghade of the trees.It was while vainly endeavoring to fall asleep that a strange | battle occurred.However, it is hkelv \u2018 it would have passed wholly unobserved ;

their best to force their way down, through the opening in the ground.One large ant had actually managed to get half his body into one of the aper-, tures, when a tiny little black ant perceived him, and running up, pluckily grabbed him by the hind legs and attempted to hold him back.I say attempted, for though retarded in his progress, the robber still made some head-, way, and was slowly dragging the black | over the edge of the hole, when along came another black ant to the rescue.Premptly laying hold of all that was vis ible of his comrade, he braced himself for a hard pull.Before long this tug- of-war began to have its effect.Slowly but surely the living rope receded out of ! the hole, till the big red warrior came ; in sight, vainly struggling to free himself from that irresistible power that was dragging him away from the coveted treasure below.However, scarcely had: the two little blacks got their big enemy | once more on open ground than a second ; hove in sight, in turn intent upon rescu- | ing his big comrade.Laying hold of one of the blacks by the head, he soon, by means of his pincers, stretched the valiant little defender dead at his feet ; then he turned about to serve the other in like manner, but instead of one, he found four to tackle.The second little black, left to himself, had hastily taken in the situation of affairs.and ran off for help, so that by the time the red ant had become disengaged he had returned, bringing with him three others with which to revenge his fallen comrade.The revenge was a complete one;

\u2018you may command this post, Colonel ; but there is one thing you haven't control over, and that is a young girl's affections.\u2019 - It was a balmy June day not long after this conversation that Weston, who had bought a beautiful gray for his own personal use, was invited to go on a picnic party up to one of the gorges in the neighboring hills.Cecil Grangely was going\u2014s0 of course almost the entire garrison wanted to go too.As a matter of fact, about a score of happy-hearted equestrians set out in the cool of the morning through the old sally-port, and were followed, as they disappeared on the plain, by the envious glances of the officer of the day, the assistant surgeon, the major left in command of the post, and other unfortunates whose turn for duty it happened to be that day.The major shook his head as he saw the party depart with but a half-dozen troopers as escort.\u2018I would have made it half a troop,\u201d he said to himself ; \u2018but I suppose the colonel knows what he is about.\u2019 Arrived at the gorge the party occupied itself in various pleasant ways.After lunch it happened that the \u2018colonel\u2019s daughter and the chaplain strayed off to a point just at hand which commanded a fine view of the plain below, across which the eye could almost reach to where, some ten miles off, the low-lving walls of the old fort nestled behind a ridge of ground.Weston felt a keen delight in pointing out to Cecil Grangely this or the other flower with whose botanical structure he was well acquainted, and then began telling her something of the general geological formation of the country.Just as he was in the act of pointing out a shelving ledge of rock in the valley below his face suddenly blanched.\u2018Let's go back and join the others !\u2019 he cried.Quickly they drew back to where the colonel and others of the party sat joking over the remnants of the lunch.The chaplain spoke a few hurried words to Colonel Grangely, whose face took on instantly that stern, resolute look which a soldier\u2019s face so often wears.\u201cWhat is the matter ?\u2019 cried the ladies.\u2018Nothing serious\u2014we hope !\u2019 replied the colonel, in grave, decided tones.\u2018Be calm and cool, and we will see presently what is to be done.\u2019 (To be continued.) CHILDREN'S CORNER.ae pe MRS.MARMADUKE.(By Cora Stuart Wheeler.) (Continued.) It doesn\u2019t seem possible that one hen could make so much trouble; but if we shut ber out she wouldn't eat and kept up such a squawking that the neighbors complained; and if we let her out, she distributed her favors among the neighbors.She had ventured to lay her eggs even in the market-man\u2019s coal-scuttle, whose back yard came just up to ours, and a bole in the fence tempted Mrs.Marmaduke to stray.Her most serious exploit was making a nest in a neighboring stable during the absence of its occupant, who crushed her eggs with hie teeth, and came near crushing her with that we only got our hen back; we could never get the eggs, although, of course, we knew wherever Mrs.Marmaduke visited she was accustomed to leave this token of her presence.Towards spring there came a day when Uncle Tom's wife was ery ill, and mamma was sent for in great haste to go to her.I was thirteen then, and quite able to do what little cooking my older brother and Margot and 1 needed, and mamma expected to return the next day.But Aunt Jenny grew worse, and Uncle Tom came to tell us to take good care of each other till mamma could come back, as she might have to stay till the end of the week.In the first day or two of our extra cares, Margot and I quite forgot Mrs.Marmaduke; and the third morning we heard again a domestic controversy, winding up as usual with Mrs.Marmaduke\u2019s \u2018Don\u2019t you talk about it.\u2019 As soon as the dishes were done from breakfast we started out, as we had had no eggs for many days, expecting to find, as usual, a group of the snowy ifeasures in some dusky corner; but although the \"| could be found.This went on for more he bin\u2019 not from the P'int nor ; Shells only to be frost-bitten unless we | meant that she was keeping to her nest hen.brother bronght the wood and piled it in one corner of the kitchen.bringing our saucy Dominicker was to be seen pecking about industriously not a trace of a nest than a week; even my brother, excited by our anxiety, helped us each morning in our vain search.We felt so troubled because we were quite sure now that the little chicks would come out of their could find them in time; and even then, in our present new quarters, we hardly knew what to do with them.Our fears were confirmed by the very long disappearance of the little gray hen, which with upusual industry.Aunt Jenny's illness was more and more prolonged.Mamma would come home for a few daya to set us right, and then return to the bedside.Seeing how tronbled she looked, we did not confide to her our childish worry about the pet In order to make our duties easier, my ; we felt no hardship, and at first made water up the long flight of steps; so that quite merry overrour housekeeping.But it began to be very lonely, and one morning the last touch of dismalness seemed to be added, when we dolefully saw through the window that a light snow was falling outside.; As my brother got up from the break- fast-table he stepped to the window to see from the sky whether it was likely to be a heavy storm, which is very rare in that middle-western climate.Just then we heard Mrs.Marmaduke's voice; but it wasn\u2019t very jubilant, and she wasn\u2019t eaying, \u2018Don\u2019t talk about it.It was just a low, sorrowful, \u2018Tut, tut, tut ! \u2019 as though things were not going her way at all satisfactorily.This aroused our anxiety afresh, and having wrapped ourselves protectingly, we started 40 run down the steps as our brcther reached the bottom.We saw him turn and examine the step behind him, and then come back a step or two to meet us; and then he began to laugh, and said, \u2018Come back,\u201d as he went past us up to the top.As he did so he pointed to the steps, and there on every one in the thin sprinkling of snow were the tracks, like funny little stars, of a hen\u2019s feet.We could hardly believe it, but there they were: for there Were no birds with such a claw to be found in the heart of a village.At the top of the steps they ceased entirely ; but once more my brother pointed triumphantly to the corner of the wood-box, where a broken board left an opening, which seemed hardly big enough to thrust in his hand.He did not try to do this, but lifted the top of the box, unused during the whole of my mother\u2019s ahsence.There was the poor little hen, apparently too weary with her exhausting journey up the steps to do more than feebly remonstrate as the strong, warm band lifted her off the nest.\u2018Tut, tut, tut! don\u2019t touch \u2019em ; tut, tut, tut!\u2019 she said, as much as to say, \u20181 \u2018just had to, you know ; please take care of \u2019em !\u2019 for there, as we all looked into the box, were two little chicks just out of the shell, and more feebly pecking and peeping on their way to full chickenhood.We put the hen carefully back, and while my brother ran off to his work, Margot and I hurried into the house to arrange for removing the chickens and their mother into a more comfortable nursery.(To be continued.)

GRANTED BY THE COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT.New York, Sept.9.\u2014A special to the \u2018World\u2019 from Colon, Colombia, says it is announced that a concession for the purpose of completing the Panama Canal has been granted to England.A despatch to the \u2018World\u2019 from Washington says The \u2018World's\u2019 special cable advices from Colen to the effect that the franchise heretofore held by a French company for the construction of a ship canal across the Isthmus of Panama has been transferred to the Government of Great Britain, has caused a sensation here.Officials and those closely

admit that if this transference has really been done it will effectually prevent the United States from controlling | the proposed great inter-oceanic ter way and render the building of the Nicaraguan canal useless.At the same time it is not generally believed here that the concession held by the French company | has been transferred to the government: of Great Britain.It is considered pessible | that an English company has purchased | the rights of the French company and may continue the work now in progress, but that the British Government has assumed control of the project is not credited.The concession originally granted by the United States of Colombia for the construction of the Isthmian canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to De Lesseps and his syndicate of French capitalists subsequently passed into the hands of another French company.Not- withtanding all the scandals and difficulties connected with the work, much head: way has recently been made.A force of two or three thousand men has been steadily employed.But, the uncertainty of final success has proved a perpetual source of discouragement, and the concession of the French company has for some time been offered for sale.The United States and other governments: have had an opportunity of purchasing it thorns that ever delighted the heart -f lan Irishman, had it richly mounted in silver and, on his return, presented it tu Mr.Crean with the following inseri- tion engraved upon it: \u2018Ned Crean, from his old friend, Wilfrid Laurier Needless to say that \u2018Ned' was delighted and
