[" TEMPERANCE WOMEN © IN COUNCIL.They Would Like to Sée Less Smoking on Street Cars.\u2018Government protection, greed of gain, and the apathy of the people.These are the three great causes why our country labors under the curse of the liquor traf- fi\u2019 So said Mrs.(Rev.J.G.) Sander- son, Quebec Provincial W.C.T.U.president, as she addressed the regular meeting of the Western Union in Welcome Hall on Thursday afternoon.All these causes she showed the women could do much to remove._.They co subdue apathy i té the objects of their union and pledging the mothers everywhere to train their children, the future voters, up in staunch prohibition principles.Then they could distribute literature, and the present vas the time to do _it.Neal Dow did not secure prohibition in the state ci Maine till literature had been sown there knee deep.A third thing the temperance women must do was to work lur good laws, and to this end they must \u201crx to bring every force to bear on the rovernment now in power to pass such su WE, Mrs.McLachlan, county vice-presi- dent, spoke with enthusiasm of the recent conventions in Toronto, especially ni the part taken by the children.One thousand children in solid rank, all pledged total abstainers, was a sight to inspire all with renewed hope for prohibition in the near future.Two other speakers who were received with especial pleasure were Mrs.Ardill and Miss Murcutt, active white ribbon werkers from Australia.Mrs, Ardill spoke with surprise of the small amount of drunkenness to be seen in Canada.In Toronto it seemed to her that there was a church on almost every street corner.In Australian cities almost every corner was occupied, not by a church but by a saloon.Mrs.Ardill\u2019s heart is absorbed in the rescue work of the union, and she is here in behalf of a great rescue mission in Sydney.A sore need of our union, said Mrs.Ardill, is more mothers\u2019 meetings.Not so much general prayer- meetings as meeting where *he hardworking matbors of br ple may learn how to rightly train their children both in health sand mofals.It came to them over and over again in the work of their rescue missions that young I'eople sin chiefly through ignorance.One tj their great needs in Australia was scientific temperance instruction in their public schools, Miss Murcutt created great enthusiasm by her report of the National Ww.C.T.U.convention in Buffalo, and the way in which Miss Willard championed the cause of the Temperance Temple in Chicago, the \u2018House Beautiful\u2019 of the Na- tirnal Union.There had been many false stories circulated concerning the financial status of this great building, but these had at this convention been ail proved false and the union was going forward with renewed Vigor to raise the balance of the debt remaining upon it.Tbis done, and with the building under proper management, they expected to secure from it a yearly revenue of two hundred thousand dollars.This was to go, half to the work of the National Union and tbe other half to be divided among the state urions, according to the amount that each state union had contributed towards the erection of the building.After these speakers were through the meeting took up the question of the serious annoyance suffered by women from the smoking allowed on our street cars.Every woman present seemed to feel very strongly on the subject and on motion it was decided, without a dissenting voice, that a petition from this union be sent to the managers of the Street Railway Company asking that the custom of smoking on the car platforms be done away with.A reception is to be held by the union in the hall on the evening of Fgiday, Nov, 26, to afford temperance workers an op- rortunity of meeting with the ladies from Australia.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 DR.NANSEN DEPARTS, Dr.Nansen left this morning for Ottawa over the Grand Trunk.He was ac- cempanied to the station by Dr.Adami and Mr.E.Ohlen.In the course of a brief conversation reference having been made to Andree\u2019s balloon expedition, and the suggestion asked as to his chances of coming back alive, the explorer said that his opinion as to Andree\u2019s chances was of no more value than that of anybody else.He had undertaken a bold expedition, but it would be mere speculation to discuss the possibilities or probabilities of it.There had only been one pigeon sent out by Andree with a mes.-*ge since he etarted, and all the talk vf other pigeons and of other evidences ol the balloon was to be disregarded._\u2014\u2014\u2014 CITY ITEMS.The visiting governors to the Montreal tieneral Hospital for the week commenting Monday, Nov.15, are Messrs, H.E.Murray, Wm.Smith, (Simpeon street), J.B.Clearihue and I.H, Stearns.a to say that the Rev.F Srp dct ed 2 Last Edition.i Me GA 12, 1897.NANSEN'S RECEPTION-THE CRUSH AT THE CHATEAU DE RAMEZAY.GETTING HOT.A REVIVAL OF THE OLD FEUDS.The \u2018Patrie\u2019 publishes a special from Quebec reporting an interview with a politician alleged to be well informed on current politico-religious questions.Being questioned concerning the recent news from Rome with regard to the 8chool settlement, this politician is made : Goyer, J - me * at présent in Rome, has been: denouncing the Liberal party for several months past.He also refers to the Father as a Frenchman belonging to the faction of Dominicans charged in France with intolerance, and as being a man who knows neither the institutions, the customs, nor the aspirations of the Canadian people.Referring to the Hon.Mr.Desjardins\u2019 mission, the same politician says that there is no doubt that he will support Father Gonthier in Rome, being a Castor of the \u2018Nouveau-Monde\u2019 school, the members of which have always pushed the clergy towards extreme measures aud & policy of violence.Finally, the politician interviewed is made to speak as follows on the present situation in Manitoba :\u2014\u2018The régime of terror reigns there more than ever.What takes place there is really astounding.\u201d ; The \u2018Minerve\u2019 denounces the whole of the above as mere Rouge tactics to prepare public opinion in view of an impending denunciation by the Vatican.ce DRUMMOND\u2019S REPRESENTATIVE.A meeting was held at Drummondville on Wednesday to consider the claims of the candidates at the ensuing election.The Liberals are represented by the brother of their late member, Mr.La- vergne, who has been lately raised to the bench, and by whose elevation the seat in parliament has become ont ge Conservative candidate is Mr.N , a notary of Arthabaska.The Mayor, Mr.William Mitchell, presided.Some dissatisfaction is felt in Drummond that the selection of the candidate was not made from the public men in Drummond, as Arthabaska since federation bas furnished a member.So long as Sir Wilfrid Laurier was member, his personal qualifications did not admit of this question being raised, but there cannot be a doubt that the result of this selection will assume serious proportions at the next general elections.-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MRS.CURRIE\u2019'S NAMESAKE.The \u2018California Christian Advocate,\u2019 speaking of Mre.Currie\u2019s work at Pacific Grove, regrets that they were to lose her, though she was going east to join her husband in his evangelistic work in Montreal.The Women's Foreign Missionary Society, of which Mrs.Currie was president, having adopted an orphan in India, propose to name it \u2018 Amelia Currie,\u201d in honor of their president, who has been in Montreal with Mr.Currie for some few weeks.ttle AN EARLY BREAK DOWN.No Park and Island cars were running this morning from Cote des Neiges, Monklands, Mount Royal Vale, ete, to Victoria avenue.In spite of the double fares charged this winter, the service has soon broken down.This is a poor prospect for investors who have purchased property during the past year on the etrength of a \u2018 good car service.\u2019 TWO MORE KLONDIKE VICTIMS, Vancouver, B.C, Nov.12.\u2014Informa- tion bas just been received of two more Klondike victims in the persons of Hiram Gale Adams, of this city, and an unknown man.Mr.Adams left here some months ago, and met death very near the spot where ex-Mayor Cope, of this city, perished.The boat in which { deceased was was overloaded and capsized.Adams and the other man wers drowned, third cocupant.being.rescued,\u2019 was 2 prominent Masom.Skaguay, Alaska, Nov.12, per stgamer \u2018Farallon,\u2019 vis Seattle, Wash., Noy.12.\u2014 The Canadian Government has recalled a number of customs officers who have been stationed at Tagish House, between Lakcs Bennett and Tagish, and the British Columbia authorities have also reduced the number of provincial police who have been stationed at Lake Benneit and Ta- gish House since the great rush to the Klondike country began last July.Mr.Fred.W.Davey, deputy collector of customs, who has just returned from Tagish, said to the Associated Press correspondent that duties had been collected during the season on four hundred outfits.Each outfit represented from four to five men.The duty.collected on each outfit averaged sixty dollars and the total amount collected aggregated twenty- five thousand dollars.Duties were levied upon everything belonging, or in any way appertaining to an outfit, even the clothes that a man wore not being ex- \u2018empted.Several cases of attempted smuggling were detected, the goods being confiscated in most instances.rt ee Travel down the lakes has practically The ceased and Mr.Davey says that hundreds of people will be eaught in the ice and forced to go into winter quarters, where they may happen to be when the ice surrounds them.Toronto, Nov.12\u2014A company is being i here to build a railway to the Klondike on which they propose to operate a system of motive power recently invented here.The principle of the invention is to apply the power direct to every wheel of the cars, doing sway with a locomotive, making every wheel of the train a driving wheel, and using gasoline as a means of generating steam for power.A motor is to be Placed on every car and the inventors claim that their plan, besides \u2018enabling them to dispense with rails heavier than sixty pounds, will enable ¢raine to climb grades much steeper tham now covered by any railway in the world.There have been private trials of the new invention here the past few days which demonstrate the promoters\u2019 claim that a train of cars mo equipped can mount a grade of one in four._\u2014\u2014 DROWNED IN SHALLOW WATER.Port Rowan, Ont., Nov.12\u2014R.W.Leeming, of Brantford, and C.Wynn Williams, formerly of Tilsonburg, left here at noon yesterday in a small naphtha launch on a snipeshooting expedition along the shores of the bay.Running the launch in shoal water they both got out and separated.Shortly after Leem- ing missed Williams.After a long.search he found him lying face downward in six inches of water, dead.Leeming managed to get the body into the launch and returned with it.An inquest will be held by his request, he being the only person with Williams at the time, THREE YEARS FOR DR.YEMEN.Stratford, Ont, Nov.11 \u2014At the Perth fall aesizes yesterday

SUSTAINED.Toronto, Nov.12.\u2014Mr.Justice Meredith has dismissed with costs E.A.Macdonald\u2019s suit against the city of Toronto and Assessment Commissioner Fleming.He holds that.Mr.Macdonald has failed to prove that Mr.Fleming secured his office \u2018by corrupt or illegal means,\u2019 and finds that he vacated the office of mayor before accepting that of assistant commissioner.His Lordship also finds \u2018as fact,\u201d that the ex-mayor deserved the office of commissioner.THE ROYAL SCOTS.The judge's charge lasted THE TROUBLE AMONG THE OFFI CERS.\u2014 Ottawa, Nov.12\u2014A decision

very intereeting lecture on Switzerland, illustrated with limelight views, in the assembly ball of the Gault Institute.The lecture had been weil advertised by \u2018the pupils, and by eight o\u2019clock the beautiful assembly hall was we filled, nearly every one interested in education in the Protestant section of the town being present.Mr.Evans briefly introduced himself and from beginning to end was listened to with great attention.The views were excelent and the lecture altogether was both interesting and instructive.- Mr.Evans\u2019s delivery is direct apd animated and \u2018his splendid voice entirely\u2019filled the hall.The lecturer con- chided \u201chis lecture by throwing on the screen an excellent.picture of the Prin.cipél- oF-the \u201cGault Institute, followed by an equally.good one of Mr.Gault, the found of the institute.The applause \u2018whieh greeted Mr.Gault\u2019s appearance on \u2018the sereen was tremendous, and was an indication that Mr.Gault\u2019s noble character and hie benefactions in behalf of education are appreciated by the titizens of the town in which he hes taken so lively an interest.The proceeds of the lecture go to form the nucleus \u2018of a library, the evening's entertainment being a free gift by Mr.Evans.His vigit will be pleasantly remembered by all, and especially by the children, many of whom will owe their first ideas of Swiss lakes and mountains and passes to his entertaining lecture on Friday last.H should be added that the trustees generouely gave the use of the hall without charge, so that the expenses of the lecture were very email.ACCIDENT TO A BRITISH WARSHIP.Canea, Nov.12.\u2014The first-class British battleship \u2018Empress of India\u2019 has met with a serious accident in a gale, which is prevailing here.Her rudder was broken by a heavy sea and her hull was seriously damaged.Her stern compartment is full of water.She has run for shelter urder the lee of Standia island, off the town of Candia.The battleship \u2018Royal Sovereign\u2019 has gone to her assistance, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 SILESIAN MINING DISASTER.Berlin, Nov.12.\u2014Seven persons perished yesterday in a fire which broke out in the wood-work of the shaft of a mine near Antonienhuette, Silesia- eng , and it is understood Price OxE Cen.means THE RIF PIRATES.THEY HAVE FIFTY WHITE CAPTIVES IN THEIR HANDS.London, Nov.12\u2014It was announced early this week that Italy was sending a warship to the Rif coast, Morocco, to Punish the pirates, who have pow something like fifty European prisoners and refuse to accept the proffered ransom be case it is not large enough.It is doubtful\u2019 whether the warship has yet sailed, and it certainly has not got to work.The Mediterranean powers and Spain and Po; ave timed - Usual, they cannot agree on tion.Each suspects the others of ut- terior designs.All hanker for slices of Moroccan territory, and disagree as to the size of the respective shares.Consequently the partition of Morocco is like ly to be further indefinitely postponed \u2018until a general European war has settle] for a generation, the question whether France or England and Italy will be the dominant power in the Mediterranean.But it is admitted that something will have to be done to pus down the piracy of the Rif natives, and, as an armed expedition into their country would be useless and apparently, after the experienco of the joint work of the power in Crete, impossible, it is now proposed that the Rif coast be regularly patrolled, and that the native craft be seized and destroyed at sight and their crews gent to European prisons.To this the Sultan of Morocco, himself would probably not object, for the natives of the Er Rif mountains give him quite as much trouble as they give Europe.It is not exactly a heroic measure, but any other might raise the whole Morocéan question which is about as full of prickles as the Turkish question.Therefore, it is probable that the patrol will begin as soon as the present captives have been safely ransomed.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 GLENGARRY FARMERS\u2019 INSTI TUTE.Lancaster, Ont., Nov.12.\u2014Arrange- ments

DYSPEPSIA WITH ERUCTATIONS.D.M.\u2014For more than a year my food has come up immediately after eating.Seventeen years old.Ans.\u2014Eating too fast, not chewing food to a paste, eating fresh yeast bread and other things, which cannot be chewed to a paste; aiso, irregular meals,are common causes of dyspepsia.When risings occur there is want of tone usually.Regular muscular action, which should contract on the food, and move it onward, is weak.There may be obstruction in the lower part of the canal from coastipation, causing accumulation of gas in the upper part.The stomach may be flabby and pale.The food eaten may be tasteless, ard too liquid to reed chewing, preventing sufficient saliva persing dcwn from the mouth to the stomach.Porridge and milk alone ls unsuitable in such cases.Some tasty food is wanted, as well, and something which needs faithful chewing.A toniz suitable tn this condition is as follows: \u2014Camwnon salt, half an ounce; BYrup ot ginger, three ounces: Infusion of Calumba, one ounce; mix and dissolve, and take a teaspoonful, or a dessertspoonful in a little hot watet halt an hour before meals; once a day may be epeugh.Salt contains a constituent which helps to make gastric juice.If thls tonic does not seem satisfactory, substitute baking soda (not baking powder) for the salt.Pure baking soda is bicarbonate of sodium, and can be got at the druggists.Sweets, jums, candies, preserves, pastry.nuts, and choese, are liable to make trouble, especially where digestion is weak.Meat, eggs, milk, tender vegetables, a little fruit, caten at meals; puddings made of fruit, or milk, and variois farinaceous things, lke sago, cnrnstarch, and s0 on, are useful.CONSTIPATION.Enquirer.\u2014Calomel and podophyllin are liable to increase intestinal catarrh which may be the cause of your constipation.The bile duct, called the common duct because it conducts all the bile from the liver and March, when Major Ibbotson may or|aiso the bile stored in the gall bladder, to may not take over the command of the Bth Royal Scots, as the present enquiry mupcous lining of the duodenum.will determine.Lieut.-Col.Cole\u2019s command of the 2nd Regiment Canadian Artillery will expire in April, on the completion of his gixth- year, and in March, Lieut.Col.Butler will have been eight years in command of the lst Prince of There will be some re-| heart disease might injure it, but in ordin- the duodenum, is very small and might be obstructed by swelling or catarrh of the In other words the trouble may not be in the liver but in that part of the intestine into which the bile and pancreatic juice flows, which in its office acts the part of a second stomach digesting starches and oily food.In treating Constipation the liver may need little attention as it is seldom to blame.Malaria and very far advanced organic ary cases the digestion and digestive tube should be cared for, even when headache, stupid or sad mental state, a yellow skin and clay-colored stools make people say they bave à torpid liver, Calomel and podo- phyllin relieve this condition for the time because they act on this part of the body, but if taken steadily, especially in sufficient doses to induce purgative results the catarrh ig sure to increase.Calomel should be followed by some other remedy to purge it all out of the system.Very small doses of it are liable to remain in the Intestines and can there turn into tbe perchloride of mercury which is corrosive and ulcerates the slrong recommendation to mercy.intestine.Very mild doses pA on this account somewhat unsafe.F opasllie in re or \u2019 catarrh.It is very easy to put à few Gro;

liquor of acetate of ammonia, one ounce; syrup of tolutani, tw0 ounces.Mix and take a teaspoonful about every two hours.©n taking fresh cold tyo grains of Dover's powder will throw circulation into the skin.One or two of these should be taken on retiring and followed by a large refreshing drink of Je ade of jelly water tn the morning.Get fv 2-grain powders at a time so as to bare them handy for a fresh attack.Quinine two grain doses is useful where the ears are sound and the biood thin.DISCHARGE FROM THE NOSE ;

$2,862,356 government - demand notes against $2,081,820 last year ; $11, 771,426 due by agencies in foreign countries, againet $7,748,400 last year ; $10,- 000,713 due by agencies in Great Britain, against $7,162 404 last year ; current loans and discounts, $35,775,655, against $37,- 102,935 last year, which is an interesting decrease ; the debts secured by mori- gage amount to $63,207, against $150,637 last year, and the unsecured overdue debts, loss provided for, amount to $196,- 21, against $113,201 last year, an increase of 883,090.On the other side of the statement, the notes of the bank in circulation increased from $5,330,463 for same period of 1896 to $6,137,950, an increase of $807, 487 ; deposits bearing interest increased from $26,973,154 in 1896 to $31,923,212, an increase of $4,950,058 ; while the current deposits increased from $9,456,252 for corresponding period last year to $11,244,- G40, or an increase of $1,787,797.= MANY COMPLAINTS.Complaints are daily being received by the Road Department, as to the condition of the roads.One of the officials of the Road Department said to a \u2018Witness\u2019 reporter this morning: \u201cFhis is the season of the year when we must look for bad roads.It would take a fortune to remove the snow and slush from the streets today, which to-morow may be frozen 83 hard as a rock.As is known.the Road Department anyway has no money to clean the streets;

pair the roads; $2,000 to repair the ings belonging to the city at the island, which have not known the protection of paint against the rain for years past: for an artesian well and $1,500 to repair the restaurant, 1t will also be explained that the federal authorities, to whom the island belongs, have sent a quantity of lumber to fence off three hundred feet more of the island\u2019 towards the ferry, which (hc government holds is needed for various reasons, to be added to the large tract it already has set aside for military purposes on the island.Mr.Desmarteau will Point out to the committee that a large number of trees wil] have to be sacrificed if this three hundred feet ia to be parted with, and will suggest that the government be asked to reconsider its decision to take this tract of land.Mr.Desmarteau says that the three hundred feet of land in question is in a locality which is very popular with visitors to the island.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 AUSTRIAN LOWER HOUSE.Vienna, Nov.12.\u2014Dr.Abrahamovics, the First Vice-President of the Lower House of the Reichsrath, has been elected President of that body in succession to Dr.Kathrein, who resigned that office.on Oct.26.It was understood that Dr.Kathrein\u2019s resignation was due to the fact that he was opposed to taking extreme measures against the obstruction being carried on by the aggressive section of the German representatives.Dr.Kb enhoch was mentioned on Tuesday last as likely to be the new President .of the Lower House of the Reichsrath.It was added that the latter was a man of the most robust type and of the most deter mined disposition.Therefore, it was expected that his presidency, supposing he was elected, would be marked by a repetition of the violent scenes which have been witnessed in the Lower House of the Austrian Parliament for a long time past.Dr.Abrahamovics has acted as President since the resignation of Dr.Kath- rein, but he does rot appear to have been able to quell the uproar which, however, rapeatedly occurred in the House although in his efforts to do so he has repeatedly suspended the sittings.ele DEATH OF A FORMER QUEBECKER Windsor, Nov.12.\u2014Captain John Char.land: died yesterday at the Hotel Dieu.He was born in Quebec and resided in the same neighborhood as did Sir Wilfrid Laurier.When he was sixteen years of age he began in the lumber business and had been engaged in that line from Quebec to the Gulf of Mexico.He helped to build the docks of the Great Western Railway in Windsor.He conducted a general store in Bell River and owned a feed store in Windsor.He was very popular in Bell River and for a number of years represented that district in the County Council, des?as Ll out of \u2018the amount $1,000 is needed ta re;

\u2018the meeting of the Montreal Board of Trade Council on Wednesday Mr.E.L.Bond submitted a report that he had prepared on the ship channel between Montreal and Quebec, signed by him as president of the Marine Underwriters\u2019 Association, and as a member of the council of the Board of Trade.He asked that if the same met with the approval of the council, it be referred to a committee for the purpose of examination into its recommendations, so that if the committee conéurred therein, it might introduce resolutions bearing upon the questions addressed to the departments of the government interested, pressing for the reforms deemed necessary.The council was greatly interested in the report, and expressed its acknowledgments to Mr.Bond for the service he had rendered in compiling it, and, according to the desire of Mr.Bord, referred it to the Committee on Harbor and Navigation, viz., Messrs.James Crathern, chairman ; A.J.Brice, Charles McLean, Charles F.Smith and D.G.Thomson.This valuable report upon a most momentous subject, seriously affecting the welfare and even the existence of our port, we are glad to publish in full, as follows : \u2014 To the Council of the Montreal Board of Trade :\u2014 Gentlemen,\u2014In submitting the following report on the ship channel between Montreal and Quebec, I do so claiming for it nothing more than an independent and unbiased collection of facts obtained by careful inquiry and personal observation.Navigation from Montreal to Quebec, about a hundred and sixty miles, comprises a number of problems, the chief of which are narrow and sharp bends, rock cuttings, ice movement, and change in the volume of stream accord: ing to the season.The channel is supposed to have a minimura depth of twenty-seven and a half feet at low water, with the exception that at one or two points below Three Rivers.the tide must be favorable to enable vessels laden to meximum draft to pass.LOAD LINE.There appears to be a diver gence of opinion as to the depth to which a vessel may safely load, based upon a clear twenty-seven and a half feet in the channel.Allowances have béen quoted from six to eighteen inches.The margin of -six inches should not be entertained for a moment, eighteen inches is little enough ; conservative opinions favor two feet.If the bottom of the channel was as level as a roadway a margin of one foot would probably suffice, but when one bears in mind that certain shoals have had to be dredged fifteen, or even twenty, feet, together with the absolute impossibility of making an even, let alone a smooth, bed whilst working under water, the necessity of ample margin .is clearly manifest.But we have to deal with another important factor, namely, the ice movement in the spring.One has only to note the large number of boulders lying on the \u2018battyres\u2019 and the conviction will certainly follow that the spring ice will méve them as geology teaches it-has dome for ages.Evidence was forthcoming of \u2018batture\u2019 ice piling up at Cap a la Roche, with many large boulders firmly embedded in the floes.Here lies the greatest danger to the integrity of the channel.The attention of the Marine Underwriters was drawn to this fact during the low water of 1885, and your council, at their request, sédressed the Department of Public orks urging that the dangerous points in the channel should be swept three times during the season and obstructions removed.The \u2018Department of Public Works appeared to recognize the reason- ol ess of the request and promised to \u2018dnly.attend to the same.\u201d That this duty was overlooked by.the Department of Public Works was only discovered after the recent accident to the steamship \u2018Arabid,\u2019 when it was admitted at the investigation that the channel had not been swept sitice 1803.It is evident that the present Minister of Public Works, whe personally cannot be held accountable for the past, fully appreciates the importance of testing the dangerous places in the route at least twice a yeas, and it.should not be considered unreasonable should your council request that copies of reports of all such sweepings gi bestings be forwarded to them as aooh Bs made.° Since the accident to the steamship \u2018Arabia,\u2019 on Sept.26, 1897, through the urgent representations of the Board of Marine Underwriters, supported by the endorsation eof your council, an examination of the Cap a la Roche channel has been made by the Department of Public rks, resulting in the picking up of two anchors and a large boulder.BUOYS.One # instantly impressed with the vice of en ample number of sccututely.placed and regulary in- .The number of buoys should be \u2014 « À, at once.There should also be a new gas would be valuable at other pointe where increased.It would.appesr to be the cus tom in places to use the black, or south- side buoys in full, and the ved or north- side- one.only :, each diteunete black.It would be better to :nisek \u2018all channels with double buoys, red end black, exactly opposite each other, as in addition to being a safeguard to a vémel when passing snather, the shifting of.a buoy could be more readily detected.Buoys should all be distinctly numbsed, \"ed, either as a whole or in sections, for pel.erence in case of shifting, or evidence.in case of collision between vessels, or strand: ings.The use of striped buoys to indicate bends should be more completely carried out.It will be noted with regret and alarm that recent investigations before the-Mar- bor Commissioners have cast doubt, Bot only on the reliability of the buoys; but on the principle upon which they are placed.Pilots Lave stated that they rely on the buoys being placed on the edge of chanfiel, whereas there is evidence, \u2018particularly at Cap a la Roche, that buoys have been placed epme ten feet on the bank.Such a state of affairs must not be allowed to continue, Buoys must all be placed on a principle, and that principle clearly set forth for the information of j pilots.In this connection your council{ of have wisely petitioned that the cotrol of.the buoys should -be und§r\u2019 the + ; thority that.confrols tis channel.i to avoid divided responstbility.Danger from the use of fluke\u2019 anehors for buoys is apparent, should -be discontinued \u2018sad replaced by some medern.contrivance, such as \u2018Mushroom anchors,\u201d with chain and swivels.LAND MARKS.The land marks as a rule are good, but the use of trees, houses, etc., should be abrogated, and permanent towers of stone or wood substituted: LIGBTS are very good.There appears to be a demand for a new one at Bt.Nicholas, oo- posite Cap Rouge.This should be granted buoy at Point Platon, an open stretch where vessels often have to anchor to await tide.It is possible that gas buoys the channel is wide, more especially for anchorage indications.PILOTS.As matters now stand with the Mont real-Quebec men no one appears satisfied.The pilots claim to have grievances, and the ship owners good cause for complaint.It is imperative that these differences should be settled before next spring, and it would appear as though your council could fairly take the initie- tive towards bringing about a better understanding.It would be unwise to at tempt to detail the difficulties in this report, but many valuable suggestions have been noted.The following suggested improvements were collected, principally on a daytrip from Montreal to Quebec, on the.8S.\u2018Arabia,\u2019 and have been drawn from experts in navigation.Where buoys ore suggested they have been located om charts, and the information is available when required.The charts are in sheets numbere from one upward.Sheet No.l.\u2014Montreal to

Montres\u2019 wes to dam the river st Deschambsult, and bave two large locks.in \u2018midstream, just where the present channel and Richelieu \u2018Rapids are.\u201d He agreed with me, \u2018but,\u2019 said he, \u2018the trade cannot afford it and it would seriously affect the lumber interests.I wish to again revive the, ides of my early days and ask you, would\u2019 i not be worth while to aacer- tain the cost of this proposition as well \u2018as.the returos likely to acors from it ip the way of water power, which in the bands of capitaliste the splendid water power thus created might be the means of building up two pretty little towns in Deschambauk and Lotbiniere,thus adding another source of income in return for the putlay, and facilities for a railway and.passenger bridge at this point, thus allowing the Grand Trunk and other south shore roads access to Quebec and the C.P.R.connection with the Inter- colonial, before expending any more money in deepening a chanel that must have the \u2018effect of lowering the water in the harbor of Montreal and.again necee- going through the process year -after year until you brought the proud city Montreal to as low a water level as city of Quebec.If my idea could \u2018ba edopted it would give you an extra depth of eight or ten feet at Cap a In Roche and from four to six feet extra water in Lake St.Peter, doing awdy with any chance of obstruction in the channel and giving a lake-like current throughout, and lessening verv much the danger of the cross current channel from Batiscan filling up, or the dariger to vessels navigating a narrow channel thus across the current.It would also prevent batture ice piling up, as from its uniform thickness it would, I think, disappear much earlier in the spring.We would not have the Cap Rouge jam, and there are a great many other little benefits to arise from its building, such as the deepning of the rivers Maskinonge and Du Loup, and other small streams to a uniform depth for a certain distance up their course during the whole season.\u2019 Any opinion on the ship channel expressed by the late Hon.John Young, must be worthy of examination.There is po doubt the conformation of the land on both: sides of the Richeliea Rapids bears out the practicability claimed for the project.It may be accepted as a fact that the water in the channel above could be raised some feet, but how far up the water would be affected, the cost, the interference with navigation, and the ice movement in the spring, are all questions that could only.be decided by experts.When the problem of additional depth beyond twenty-seven and\u2019 a half feet is under consideration this.proposition should be borne in mind.Sheet No.18.-\u2014Portneuf to

MESSAGE NEVER SENT.Washington, Nov.1.\u2014Secretary Sherman and Sir Wäfrid Laurier, Premier of Canada, this afternoon, begat the first of a formal series of conferences for the purpose of bringing about an agreememt by which as many as possible of the questions now causing friction between the United States and the Dominion of Canada may be amicably adjusted by treaty or otherwise.These conferences will be independent of the Behring Sea seal fisheries conferences, which was the immediate occasion for the Canadian Premier's present visit to Washington.The conference this afternoon was brought about by a note which Secretary Sherman, this morning, sent to Sir WIi- frid Leurier asking him if & would be convenient to the latter to meet the secretary this afternoon.The Canadian Premier responding in the affirmative, the conference accordingly began at 1.30 p.m., in the State Department.Mr.Sherman and Sir Wilfrid were together for two hours.It can be stated on authority that the discussion was devoted to the consideration of many important questions affecting the general relations between the United States and Canada.In such a discussion the Secretary.of State and the Canadian Premier found themselves in much accord.Mr.Sherman has long favored the most cordial relations between the United States and Canada, having been, while in the Senate, author of several resolutions in that direction.It was realized on both hands, however, that the discussion now opened was not one that could bring immediate results, as many of the border controversies are of long standing, and many practical difficulties were in the way of settlement.The purpose, however, was to approach the general subject in a spirit of friendliness and allow this to develop ways and means for dealing with the numerous questions relating to both countries, viz.: broader immigration, reciprocity, fishery rights, the railway bonding privilege, etc.In view of cable reports from London stating that Mr Chamberlin, Secretary of State for the Colonies in the Salisbury Cabinet, had expressed to Lord Aberdeen, Governor- General of Canada, strong disapproval of any move of Sir Wilfrid Laurier looking 4to placing the United States on the same basis as Great Britain in tariff affairs, the matter was called to the attention \u2018of the Canadian officials.In response an authoritative statement was made that no such disavowal had been expressed by the Imperial authorities, and that Lord Aberdeen had received no such notification from Mr.Chamberlain or any other source, as his lordship was with the members of the Laurier party to the time they left Ottawa and no mention wap made of.any such disapprobation fi Imperial quarters.THE SEALING CONFERENCE, Washington, Nov.11.\u2014To:day\u2019s seal conference began at eleven o'clock with a full representation of the British, Canadian and American officials.For the firat time the statistecs of the cateh of seals for the present year were available.These were compiled by the American officials, and brought out prominently two features which were regarded as \u2018most important in supporting the American contention : Namely, that the catch has fallen off about one-haïf during the present season ; second, that \u2018the catch of seals from the American islands in Behring Sea was about fifteen.to one as.between the Canadian sealers, under the Pritish flag, and the American sealers.In detail, the figures for this season\u2019s catch are: Total catch of seals in the North Pacific for the present season, 38,700, against 73,000 last year, divided as follows : Taken by British vessels, 30,800 ; by American vessels, 4,100; by Japanese vessels, 3,800.The catch in Behring Sea, which is that por- \u2018tion of the North Pacific in \u2018which the United States is interested, is 16,850 for the present season, against 20,500 last season, a reduction of about one-half.Of the catch in Behring Sea, British vessels took 15,600 and American vessels, 1,050.The figures make mo distinction between British and Canadian veesels, as practi- callv all the sealing is done by Canadian vessels, which, however, sre nominally classed as British.It is said that the conclusion to be drawn from this year's figures is that the seal herd has been greatly reduced by indiscriminate slaughter at the alarming rate of about one- half in last year.The report of Prof.Lucas upon the habits of the seal was read, as were also the reports of Messrs.Jordan, Thompson and Macoun.The reports of Professors Jordan and Thompson had not been exchanged heretofore.The papers led to considerable discussion, which was, generally speaking, of an amicable character, although some.marked differences of opinion were expressed.DINED BY THE PRESIDENT, Washington, D.C., Nov.11.\u2014Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Canadian Premier; Sir Louis Davies, the Minister of Marine of Can: ada, and the other officials who are taking part in the Behring Ses negotiations, were entertained at dinner by President -for non-suit.McKinley, at the executive mansion to- [ night.The list of guests was confined to Biye patior shortly before eight o'clock, where President McKinley met them.Escorting Sir \u2018Wilfrid Laurier, the Presi dent led the way to the private dining- recom, where the table, simply adorned with white chrysanthemuts, was set.The Marine band -was present, and played throughout the dinner.The guests were: Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Louis Davies, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of War, the Attorney-General, the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of the Interior and of Agriculture, the Secretary to the President, the Hon.J.W.Foster, the Hon.C.Hamlin, Dr.J.S.Gordon, the Hon.R.W.Day, assistant secretary of state; the Hon.J.A.Casson, Prof.D.Went- worth Thompson and Mr.James Macoun.THAT ALLEGERP MESSAGE.Ottawa, Nov.11.\u2014With reference to a despatch from London via New York, in which it is stated that Mr.Chamber lain had forwarded to Lord Aberdeen important despatches on the future trade relations of Canada and the United States, in view of Bir Wilfrid Laurier\u2019s visit to Washington, the Hon.R.W.Scott, Secretary of State, was seen today.If any such despatches had been received they would have come through the Secretary of State\u2019s department, but Mr.Scott emphatically denies that any such despatches had reached him.He said: \u2018Mr.Chamberlain.never sent any suggestions here upon the subject; would never think of doing it.To be sure the Colonial Secretary has been made aware of the scope and intent of the conference at Washington between the Canadian ministers and the United States.He knows all about it and has instructed Sir Julian Pavncefote.That is the usual course, but even the British ambassador's presence at the conference is merely a formal signification of Great Britain\u2019s part in it.On the status of the sealing question they are well posted in England, because of its national and intercolonial importance, and because it hinges upon the find-\" ings of the Paris tribunal of arbitration, but they are very little concerned in the subjects of our immediate trade relations with the United States, the alien labor law, the tonding privilege, and so on, except that they would like to see a settlement of them and other questions which, while not of supreme importance in themselves, are a source of irritation between Canada and the United States and fur nish a constant theme for the belligerent press on both sides.But there has been no suggestion whatever from the Imperial authorities as to the ways and means by which such a settlement might be brought about.Great Britain is quite content that Canada should have a free hand in the adjustment of such questions as I have referred to, concerning as they do only omrselves and our neighbors to the south .London, Nov.12.\u2014The \u2018Daily News\u2019 this morning argues that the concession of a preferential tariff to England will give Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Dominion Premier, a powerful argument in favor of renewed reciprocity with the Uniled States.\u2014_\u2014 SUPREME COURT JUDGMENTS.Ottawa, Nov.10.\u2014Mr.Justice Tas- chereau this morning delivered judgment in \u201cthe Supreme Court in the following cases, which have been under consideration :\u2014 Sombra vs.Chatham\u2014Appeal allowed with \u2018costs and judgment of the trial judge on Aug.7, restored, save as to certain clauses which are to be expunged.Turner vs.Bennett \u2014Motion to quash diemiseed, and appeal also dismissed with costs.Kuock vs Knock.\u2014Appeal allowed with costs.Taschereau and Girouard, J.J., dissenting.Blakely vs.Gould.\u2014Appeal dismissed with costs, the court adopting the rea- sons-given in the report of the judgment in - appeal.The arguments in Wallace vs.Lea were then continued, and on their completion judgment was reserved.The case of Temple vs.the Commercial Union Assurance Company, was then heard.It is the last case on the list inscribed for hearing during the autumn term.The appellant took action against the company to recover for a loss by fire of his dwelling and other buildings on the Manawagonish road, near St.John, N.B., which was insured by the company respondent.Payment was resisted on account of want of evidence of an additional insurance effected upon the same property a few days before the fire, but of the acceptance of which news had not \u2018yet been received at the time of the fire, \"and also for an informality in the claim \u2018made for loss as required by the conditions of the policy.At the trial a verdict was entered by consent of the plaintiff, with leave to defendants to move On motion before the full court a aon-suit was entered against the plaintiff, now appellant, who is asking either to have the verdict restored or a new trial granted.Mr.Pugsley, Q.C,, appeared for the appellant.Mr.Dixon, for the respondent.After hearing the arguments of counsel the court allowed the appeal with cosets, and ordered a new trial on payment of costs.The court then adjourned until Dec.9, next, nt eleven o\u2019clock for the purpose of rendering judgment in ceses now under advisement.\u2014222 BISHOP OF

occasion to felicitate the Montreal Street Railway Company on its actions, but in this inetance I fee] I can do so with pleasure.I refer to the eut- stitution on the directorate of the company of a gentleman of character like Mr, R.B.Angus, in the place of the late managing director, both in the interest of the company and the public, for, contrary to what appeared to be the opinion of the late manager, I consider their interests should not be coneidered wholly antagonistic.With reference to Mr.Forget's statements published in last night's * Witness\u2019 that : \u2018 The company will build ae far as Cedar avenue, if the city will grade as far as Pine avenue to Cedar avenue, a distance of twelve hundred feet.It is the duty of the city that it should do this work,\u2019 it is only proper to state that, while it mi ht improve this road to reduce the grade in the vicinity of Pine avenue, both im the interest of the company and the public, it 1 not, as far as its relations with the Street Railway Company are concerned incumbent on the city to alter the grades in the least, so that it is an impertinence far Mr.Forget to say this, when he must know to the contrary, If be ever read the contract he made with the city.Mr.Forget would, however, find, if Le cared to act honorably in this matter that if one-heli of whet this company appears willing to spend to thwart the publie interest were spent in endeavoring to meet its exgagements it could provide an unquestivnably safe service on this Cote des Neiges hill, just as it 1s, by using the safety devices succor.fully in operaton elgewhere, and operated by the ordinary trolly, as, for instance, in Providence, R.1, and one that van be run with safety both in winter and summer, which cannot, as things are, be truthfully said of any other of the company\u2019s steep trans verse lines.His complaint of unfair treatment of the company by the dty is purely hypo critical cant, of which even he should feel ashamed.The unlair treatment hes been wholly on the pari of the company, that has treated the city and the public in a most reprehensible manner.With a net profit, derived from the use of the city streets last year, of $507,855, after deducting the city\u2019s per centage and the interest on its bonded debt of $973,333, on acual capital expended in excess of bonded debt, not exceeding in amount what has been paid into the company\u2019s tressuy by the citi- zéns of Montreal since it nade the cn- tract, it even refuses to pay the city the full amount due on account « gross earnings, even forcing the city to employ the courts to recover this somparative pittance, which is barely ten percent of its profits.And now, after depriving the public of this necessary Cote des Neiges service for over two years beyond the time this line should havi been in operation, instead of endeavoring to carry out its engagements it employs \u2018he talent of two of the best legal firms ix the city and the ablest experts to be foutd on the Continent, not to get their opinions how to meet their solemn -engagements, but to see how by some quibble they can sneak out of doing so.There is one satisfaction, however, that if this trifling with the oity's interests is further persisted in, the city can at once revoke the compeny\u2019s charter with out any recourse to the compeny for damages or otherwise, by passing a simple resolution to that effect; ard if the company prefers to claim, what it now sppears to be doing, that it undertook to supply a service that it would be unable to provide, and therefore had no intention of doing so, it is not the paltry trifle of $25 a day, out of :ts average daily profits of nearly $.,400 a day.but ten times this amount that the city should ineist on getting paid in damages by the company.¥ the company would only act with any show of fairness in this matter the public might not exact the completion of this line beyond a point within the limits beyond Cedar avenue, where tle grade begins to be heavy, but it in for the city of Montreal to determine this point not-the Street Railway Compeans- WILLIAM LITTLE.Nov.9, 1897.\u2014_\u2014\u2014

ation of the day in football circles.Un all sides the action of ths union is sev- reiy condemned, followers of the game ma:tainting that the decision arrived at was vet artitrary and spiteful, It is generally agreed that punishment among the indi- dal members of both teams, who were p-nalized on Saturday fot brutality, would Lave been sufficient to prevent ali future bickerings between College and Ottawa.Now rowover, the breach between them is great- \u201c+ than ever, and it fs quite evident that so long as both play in the same leaguo, or ever meet again in, battle, whether in friendship or for a championship, there will be a repetition of the disgraceful scenes er acted last Saturday.\u2018It is just this way,\u2019 said an enthusiast.\u2018(College has the upper hand of Ottawa now and always will so long as they both belong to the same league.The expulsion of the Lity team suits them right down to the ground.In my ¢pinion the teams will never meet again.\u2019 All kinds of opinfous can be picked up a-cund the street corners about the situa- ti-n, and one has yet to be found who will 2dmit that expulsion was justifiable.Tonight the Ottawas had a preliminary meeting, and it is hinted they will immediately rroceed against some College mea for professionalism.The parties to be charged, it is understood, are players of the Capital Lacrosse Club.The blow is most regrettable to all admirers of the Ottawas, inasmuch as the team was considersd one of ihe strcugest ever put together by the club, and It was the first time in many years that a championship for them was in sight.They will hardly play any more rE this year.ennedy, it, ls, said, will leave.for Kingston towards the tés 6 the ae Captain McGivern and Mr.J.A.Seybold, who represented the Ottawas, returned to- dzv.Both say that the action of the union is disgraceful.McGiverin says the whole matter was cut and dried between Ottawa Cellege, McG#l) and Montreal, without any refrence to the referee's report on the Latter, and that there was no chance at \u2018he meeting of getting anything 1f1ke à fair show, Everythirg was settled Before the meeting, be Bays.Thomas Clancy, on being asked why the three representatives of Ottawa College had voted to suspend the Ottawa City team, replied: \u2018What reason have we to vote in tavor of Oftawa City?Mr.D.J.McDougall, who has acted as College coach during the season, although he has taken no part in the executive proceedings of the club, thinks that it is unfortunate that the Ottawas were expelled,and à whole team made to suffer for the action of a few.Had he beer at the meeting he says he would Lot have voted to put the Otiawas out.Mr.McDougall says he would like to see another game between the Ottawas and College, as he believes that College can defeat Ottawa.He has no use for committee room victories in any line of sport.: | PRESS OPINIONS.The Ottawa \u2018Journal\u2019 says:\u2014 Jiad both teams gullty of the rough and unfair play rhown in last Saturday's football match In Ottawa been penalized by the Quebec Rugby Union, there would be a disposition on 1ost people\u2019s part to feel that however sev- cre the \u2018Union action might seem, a time bad come when drastic action was neces- gary, and that undue severity by the authorities of the game was less objectionable than the sort of play recently witnessed on football flelds.The one-sided action of the Quebec Union, combined with the fact that all the other leading clubs im the Union were tolerably certain to meet defeat in their remaining matches with Ottawa, gives 2 far less satisfactory aspect to the Union's es due on Ottawa grounds in Ww ftors\u2019 defeat is a moral certainty.ch the vis- But while Montreal clubs might be misled by malicious reports, the Ottawa College Club knew better, and the vote of the College representatives last night to suspend Ottawa is likely to be a bad blow to many a friend who has hitherto believed in.the College men in the teeth of considerable attack.College knows that what happened on Saturday was due as much to some of its own men as to some of the Ottawas.There is at least one man on the College team who is as discreditable a player as ever appeared in uniform; he is not and never was even a student, but was secured, and is retained by the College Club simply to win them matches.That à club which deliberately keeps such material on hand, and which has imported from Montreal for several matches another player notoriously of a similar style, should attempt to vindicate decent play by voting to suspend à sister club for foulness in which the College Club fuily participated is to the \u2018Journal\u2019s\u2019 mind the most unsportsmanlike action in the annals of the College's athelet-' ics.What inference must the public draw, knowing that the vote the College representatives cast will probably give the College team a championship that was otherwise very doubtful?The Ottawa \u2018Pree Press\u2019 says: The suspension was discussed on all sides to-day and the general opinion expressed was that the action of the league was too severe.This comes, ton, from men who are not supporters of the red, wbite and black colors.They think that if certain players ou the Ottawa team were unnecessarily rough, they alone should be suspended, and pot deprive their club of their chances for the championship.No matter what can be said in support of the union\u2019s action, tbe fact remains that the sesson is coming to an unsatistactory conclusion, with ome of the strongest clubs out of the running.Every Rugby follower in Ottawa would like to see the season end with all four clubs in the fray and decide which is the hest team.Many of those who are discussing the Question

encouraging, we tieing for second place.In the intermediate series our team deserves the praise and admiration of the club for the plucky way in which they succeeded in again winning the championship, this being the seventh year in succession.They also won a most decided victory over the Berlin-Waterloo Hockey Club, the intermediate champions of Ontario, thereby earning the proud title of

of Saturday\u2019s match plone, but others during the season.McGill and Montreal men afirm that the Ottawas played unusually rough, while cn the contrary Montreal and McGill could bear witness that their matches with the College were clean and free from all nasty work.Ottawa eupporters are indignant over the suspension.They consider they had a cinch on the championship.One prominent member of the executive stated to the \u2018Free Press\u2019 that he could not see where his team were any rougher tban the other clubs of the union.They all adopted the same tactics and why the Ottawas were singled out for expulsion by the league was more than he could understand.He pointed out the Montreal-Ottawa game here and the College-Ottawa game three weeks ago as an example of the play of his team.PROPOSED.INTER-COLLEGIATE LEAGUE.Toronto, Nov.12.\u2014Both McGill] and Ottawa College are strongly in favor of a four- club league.The following letter was received yesterday by Manager Inkster of \"Varsity from Manager Parker of Queen's: RE INTER-COLLEGIATE UNION.I have received communications from Mc- Gill University and Ottawa College, whose opinions I shall mention here:\u2014 Ottawa College\u2014They regard favorably the proposed league, but find they can join such only on the following conditions:\u2014(1) That the league be composed of only four teams, viz., MeGill, Queen's, \u2019Varsity.and Ottawa College; (2) that each team be composed of only college men or bona fide graduates residing in the city where sald team exists; (3) that the managing committee be composed of president, vice-presi- dent, secretary and treasurer, ome from each club, together with one committeeman from each institution; also suggest that patrons be elected by the clubs from among the authorities of the respective institutions to act as honorary members of the executive union; (4) that such a league must have stability of at least five years (a good idea).They wish the league formed in accordance with above menticned principles or romething practically similar to them, the first condition being all-important because (1) inability to defray expenses of two trips to Toronto; (2) team can get permission to travel only three times each season.If we can come to some agreement they will send delegater to Kingston on proposed date.They strongly recommend a schedule similar to one adopted by the Quebec Rugby Union.wa College in having but the four teams previously mentioned for similar reasons, viz., time and expense.They think the four colleges would make an ideal league.Much opposed to Ontarlo system of schedule, as under such some clubs must necessarily drop out after only two matches, ete.Under their proposal each team would have six matches\u2014three at home and three away from home.They have decided to send two delegates to Kingston on proposed date, Kindly let me know your attitude towards these propositions.We must act immediately.1 don't suppose Ottawa College would action.: As regards last Saturday's match, there is no reason to believe that one team was more ta blame than the other.So far as Referee Crathern's rulings were concerned, six College men went off for foul play and but four Ottawas.Ompire Cains in the letter he sent to the Union stated that the teams were equally to blame.The deplorable Walters episode was opened by Smith, cf the College team, who, as the umpire informed the referee, kicked Walters before the latter turned on Smith, The spectators éould certainly see nothing\u2019 more to blame in ome team than the other; and outsiders in Ottawa, however desirous they may bo of reform in the sport, will fall to urdrrsand the wisdom or justice of the Quebee Union's action in dealing with one tram only.+ The committee of the Union ,professed to complain also of Ottawa's play against Mc- ill.The writer, who is not a member of the Dttawa Football Club, saw that match and could not discern-that one team was g\u2026v rougher than the other, but he did ratice tbat numbers of well dressed peo- ble on the grand stand who were terribly \u2018re1ibled when an Ottawa player was mauling a McGill one, were vociferous with delight when.a McGill man lammed an Orrawa opponent.The referee of that match, en outsider from Toronto, and a thorough competent man, was surely a fair judge of what vent on there, much more so thau the M«Gill players and their friends.Mr.Bay- l'y found it necessary to rule off only two men, one on each side, the Ottawa man tore than once.That was the sole dis- \u2018rimination.There 1s a difference between foul play and rough play.So far as rough \u201clay goes, does anyone imagine that the i bulking McGill team are lambs who go \"tn a football game bfeating gently?And wkat {x to be said of à game such as oc- \u2018rred ln Ottawa: \u2018between College and \u201cnntreal, where four Moatreals were car- \u201cA erinpled off the fleld during the af- Or of the match between Colleze rncon?object to the forming of an intermediate series, including R.M.College, and Osgoode.Yours truly, JAS.PARKER, i Hon.Secretary-Treasurer.Kingston, Nov.9.Manager Inkster thinks that a six-club league, consisting of the four clubs mentioned and R.M.C.and Trinity, would be preferable.He advocates a western and eastern division, the winners in each class to play

DOMINION ALLIANCE.Toronto, Nov.11.\u2014The Ontario branch of the Dominion Alliance has decided upon inaugurating a general provincial petition movement to obtain from the Ontario Legislature at its approaching session the power for electors to vote the granting or renewal of licenses in polling subdivisions, and for the right of municipalities by a direct vote of the electorate to fix the hours of sale of liquors for beverage purposes.These amendments to the law were placed before the government last week by a deputation.Mr.Hardy, the premier, declined to commit l:imself or even to speak with any tone whatever of approval of the reforms asked for.As a consequence, the Alli- apce is- calling upon the people of Ontario \u201cto make \u2018their voices heard, and there is mo doubt whatever upon the volume of the response.Thousands of blank petitions are already in the hands of the temperance workers of the province, and almost immediately after the opening of the legislature the members will find themselves cafled upon to join each other in a chorus of formal presentation of the temperance petitions.The Alliance executive has also sent out A STIRRING MANIFESTO in which it says: \u2018I'he Ontario Government doës not consider that the decision of the Privy Council on the question of jurisdiction gives a province power to prohibit the retail sale.It is fully admitted, however, that the legislature has power to enact limiting legislation and to commit to thc people the power to prohibit retail liguor-selling in any locality.It will be readily seen that the most useful limitations that can be placed upon the liquor traffic are in respect to the reduction or abolition of licenses, and the limitation of hours of sale.\u201d \u2018In nearly every province,\u2019 the manifesto says, \u2018of the Dominion, except Ontario, the ratepayers of a locality have power to prevent the renewal of existing licenses.This is eminently reasonable.The legislature has power to give our electors this right.If a majority of the voters in any locality earnestly desire to be rid of the liquor business they ought to be able to do away with it by a majority petition, just as at present a new license may be established in any locality by a majority petition.At the last session the legislature rejected a proposal to give municipal councils the right to limit the hours of sale, ou the plea that it is not wise to have the liquor question associated with \u201cmunicipal matters.It is now progesed that we ask the legislature *to make this limitation, not as a matter to be dealt with by the municipal councils but as a matter that may be settled by a direct vote of the electors, \u2019 \u2018These two changes in the law would be moderate and in every respect reasonable.They are such as ought to command the co-operation of all who believe io fair play for all.and.the right of the people to secure such relief as public opinion fully demands.They were unanimously approved by the Proviacial Temperance Convention held in Toronto last July.The manifesto points out that \u2018much valuable progress has been made in restrieting the.liquor traffic\u2019 It still, however, works serious evil, and it is our duty to do all we can to secure further progress.You are earnestly requested to bring the petition for the proposed legislation before any meeting, church, temperance society, young people\u2019s organization or other association with which you may be connected, have it approved by the society or meeting, and signed in that behalf by the presi dent or chair and secretary.The petition thus signed \u2018should be at once returned to the undersigned, who will see that it is duly laid before the legis- Tathre.You are also earnestly requested to personally wait, amd ask other friends to wait, upon your municipal efuncil, urging that body to adept and forward a petition.to the same effect.The legislature meets carly, Kindly act Hiompt ty) \u201cMoch assistance may be given this | movement by letters to members of the legislature from their constituents requesting support for the proposed amend- nents.Please see that many such letters are writen by friends in your neighborhood The manifesto is signed by the secretary, Ald.F.8B.Spence, in behalf of the Alliance exeeutive.~~ TEXT OF THE PETITION.The following ix the petition :\u2014 Your petitioners respectfully call the attention~of your honerable body to the following facts: \u2014 1.That notwithstanding the restrictive legislation at present in operation, intemperance with its attendant evils still exists in our province to a deplorable extent is a constant scarce of misery.pauperism and crime, and a persistent hindrance and menace to the moral and material well-being of our people.| 2.Tbat your petitioners, while believing that the only right and effective legislative method of dealing with this evil is by total ition, cordially endorse and commend all, wise and effective legislation by which ther,evil results of the liquor trafic may be e led.rest is oniy reasonable and right that t liquor traffic should be further limited tpan it is at present, in those localt- tier

view to the latter removing to Cornwall.Deputations of citizens and mem: bers of the town.council visited Otthwa and practically secured from the government a site of waste land on the south side of

for twenty years.The town is to give a bonus: of thirty*five thousand dollars, build a pier in .the.river for: a wharf seventy-five hy twenty-four féet, grant as a free site twenty odd acres of government land, and obtain from the township of Cornwall remission of taxation for ten years.Cornwall relies largely upon its advantages as regards site, water power, railway facilities, etc, as an inducement.Were the bonus bylaw to carry it would have to be ratified by a special act of the Ontario Legislature.Kingston, Nov.11.\u2014The Board of Trade and Council is conferring with Messrs.Abbott Bros., of Montreal, in regard to their location in this city.They are cramped for space at the metropolis, and are seeking a western point near to iron ore deposits for manufacturing purposes.Mr.Abbott was here yesterday with his engineer, and a site was looked over.It is probable a bonus, free site and free taxation will be offered the concern, which promises to employ from a hundred and fifty to three hundred men.The building required would cost from forty to fifty thousand dollars, and a two hundred thousand dollar plant would be put in.The local organizations are working on the details, and next week a special council meeting will be held to ratify them.\u2014\u2014\u2014 A CHATHAM ROMANCE.IN WHICH THE OLD ADAGF Is VERIFIED.Chatham, Ont., Nov.11.\u2014The Rev.T.H.Morris, of the First Baptist Church, Chatham, (colored), was united yesterday in the bonds of matrimony to Miss Mary E.Hardin, of London.Owing to the illnees of the \u2018groom the ceremony Was performed at St.Joseph\u2019s Hospital by the Rev.Dr.Battisby.Mr.J.W.Montgomery acted as groomsman and the bride was assisted by Miss O.V.Talli- ferio, of London.The happy couple will make their idence in this city, and a reception to their friends.will be held shortly.There is quite a romance, not to mention scandal, connected with the affair which terminated so happily yesterday.The Rev.Mr.Morris met Miss Hardin in the Forest City a year ago.It was a case of love at first sight.Since his incumbency here he has corresponded regularly with the young lady and the upshot was an engagement, the date of the marriage being set for yesterday.No sooner had the news of the approaching nuptials got abroad than Mrs.Callendar, a hendsome young widow, a member of the Rev.Mr.Morris\u2019s flock, declared he should never marry his London lady love: Other means failing\u2019 to alter the preacher's intentions, she laid grave charges against him befére the Board of Deacons.The Rev.Mr.Morris was so seriously affected in his health by the trouble precipitated that he was obliged to go to the hospital the nervous shock having super- induced an attack of heart disease.Finally the trial of the charges came on and the result was the compléte vindiestion of the minister.His enemies, including the widow, were routed, and the oon- gregation, by a large majority, voted absolute confidence in him, and their desire to retain him.This left the way clear to proceed with the marriage, but the groom was too ill to go to London.Thereupon the bride came to Chatham and the ceremony was performed as recorded.: .\u2014_\u2014 A VICTORIA COUNTY MYSTERY.Lindsay, Ont., Nov.11.\u2014A mysterious fatality is reported from the woods north of the village of Norland, in Victoria county.In that locality a man named Tee has resided for a number of years past on a government lot, and has managed to support a large family by cultivating a few acres and spending the winter months in the lumber camps.One of the sons, instructed by an old trapper, developed great gkill in the collee- tion of ginseng root, and annually disposed of large quantities to Lindsay buyers at a fair price.Last week he announced his intention of going deer- hunting, and as usual went off alone, having huts in various lochlities in which to take refuge at night.On Tuesday a young lad arrived in Coboconk and stated that while in chase of an opossum he carne upon the body of a young man with a bullet wound in the head, and from the description he thought the body was that of young Lee.Dr.Wood, coroner, of Kirkfield, will hold an inquest.THE SISTER SHUT OUT.Kingston, Ont.,, Nov.11.\u2014A wedding recently took place in a Roman Catholic church, at which a sister of the bride was

EXPERIENCES.The crowd surged through the stuffy little rooms of the Chateau de Ramezay.It listened to the soft strains of music; saluted its peighbor in those affable accents which comport with reception clothes; examined the death warrant of Mary Queen of Scots and Charles the First.The dignity of the bench, the brilliance of the bar; the notable in commerce, the elite of social life, were represented in that composite gathering which assembled yesterday afternoon in the historic building for the purpose of paying their homage to ome whose name has been upon the lip of the world for the

crowd had commenced to flow in at half-past three.As the hands of the clock travelled slowly on, the antiquarian treasures palled a little upon a promiscuous gathering, the bulk of which bad the sole desire to see the hero of the latest arctic adventure.The early regime was picturesque beyond quetion; the memorials are eloquent; just think that we, in another day, are laughing and talking lightly in rooms where the high matters of state were gravely discussed by men who are now dust! We appreciate the circumstance; but why should we have.to wait here for two mortal hours, crushed, hot, through blazing fires, the pressure of \u2018numbers, and the sense of confinement ?Four o'clock, balf-past four\u2014and- atill: no Nansen! Then patience gave out.Wraps were collected and the exodus began.Many notabilities ordered up their private carriages; dignitaries of the behch and education; the great merchant, the social 1eaders\u2014stepprd out into the snow, and, glancing at the City Hall clock, shining ¢hrough the gloom of an exceedingly desolate environment, were whisked home to dinner.The street was cold, and bleak and slushy.The City Hall looked sordid.and frowzy.A crowd of tha common people had assembled at the gate, not knowing exactly what the demonstration inside meant, but riveted to the spot by curiosity.About a dozen cabbies lingered in the hope of a fare.\u2018They do be sayin\u2019 dat Nansen is a frin\u2018 to dat feller Andree who's now on his way to de Nort Pele.\u2019 \u2018Nansen\u2019s a good man;

the careful toilet suffered irreparably; excitement, pressure, curiosity\u2014 all urged the forward movement.ciety.He was shaking hands with the ut- Dr.Nansen, simple, erect, calm, blue of eye, athletic of build, stood smiling, à in the centre of a group of the officers of the Antiquarian and Numismatic So- most cordiality.He smiled indulgently as the ladies struggled with one another for precedence.He had stood this kind of mohbing before.Mr.Lighthall asked for recom, and for quietness\u2014the momentum could not be arrested; the police were powerless to direct the people to take the preper exits: the jam became suffocating.The men generally stood back and gave the ladies the chance.The latter, after infinite pushing and struggling, returned to their male escorts.\u2018We have seen him; we have shaken hands with him ; oh, what a darling he is!\u2019 Of course, our dresses are ruined ; look at our hair ; but\u2019 (triumphantly) \u2018we have gaimed our object\u201d .The Scandinavian citizens pressed forward, and when they had obtained standing room close to the explorer, commenced to sing national songs of welcome and greeting to the hero ; after this there were several addr presented.Bis Worship the Mayor led off on behalf of the citizens.Very few heard a word of what was said, for there was the shuffling of feet and the impatient expressions of those who were debarred from the inner cirele.His Worship\u2019s address expressed satisfaction at meeting with one so notable ; the citizens of Montreal, without distine- tion of race or creed, had gathered to do hin homage.They were all glad to see one so eminent and famous in their midst.The Antiquarian Society presented, through Mr.W.D.Lighthall, the following address :\u2014 \u2018I have the pleasant duty, sir, of presenting to you the cordial sentiments of the English half of our society, which, as you may observe, unites the two races of the harmonious Canadian nationality.As a historical association\u2014the chief body of the kind in the Dominion, sir\u2014we are naturaiiy interested in discovery and in that making of history which is \u2018performed to-day by itself, is especially interested\u2019 in your la- bork\" The names of Franklin, of Kane and of Nordenskjold are household wo: with us.Among our own citisens,great in distant discovery, have been Lasalle, Verandrye, Bir Alexander Mackenzie, Fraser and Alex.Henry.To thése names we shall add, in future, the name ot the intrepid Nansen.This representative gathering of the metropolis of our country tenders you its homage, and prays that in the lst of the honors you have won, and perhaps are yet to add to, you will count among the sin- | cerest, the respect and admiration of the people of Canada.\u2019 Dr.Nansen replied briefly but happily, adverting to the achievements of American exploration, and recalling the notable names in Canadian history.Mr.Justice Baby spoke on \u2018behalf of the French members of the society, gracefully and delicately, as is his wont, and presented the explorer with a handsome jewelled pin, the gift of Mr.H.J.Tiffin, one of the vice-presidents of the society.Mr.Ohlen, on behalf of the Scandinavians in Montreal, paid a tribute of homage to Dr.Nansen, to which he replied in their own tongue.After all this, the hero was conducted to the tea room, situated in the old kitchen of the vaults of the Chateau, subsequently taking his departure with Dr.Adami, whose guest the explorer was.A large audience assembled last night in the Monument National, despite the heavy storm, in order to listen to the wonderful story of Arctic adventure, as nerrated by Dr.Nansen.Principal Peterson, of McGill University, occupied the chair and introduced Dr.Nansen to the audience.Dr.Nansen, he said, was one whose name they were proud to inscribe among those who had, by courage, persistence and talent, been able to \u2018write so many pages in the records of our common history.Loud and long continued applause greeted Dr.Nansen when he rose to speak.After having thanked the audience for their hearty reception of him Dr.Nansen proceeded to speak of the great interest that the Polar regione possessed from the fact that nature did not permit humanity to see much of them.Explorers in great number had essayed again and again to penetrate the innermost depths and had met with ice-barrfers that proved impassable and by winds and currents that had caused them to drift in a retrograde direction.The conclusion he had drawn from all this was that other means would have to be found, and it was from the experience of the ill-fated \u2018Jeannette\u2019 that he formed the idea he later carried into effect.The \u2018Jeannette\u2019 had drifted with the ice into the Polar sea and had there been lost.This suggested to him that there must be a current running across the Polar ses which could be taken advantage of by allowing his ship to be carried with the drift across the region he wished to explore.This was the way in which the \u2018 Fram\u2019 had made her voyage.It had not been kW \u201cebject, remarked Dr.Naasen, to reach the North Pole; that was a matter of secondary importance.He had wished to explore the polar regions and to bring back scientific facts that would enable people to form clearer ideas about those parts than they had before possessed.He then detailed-the main points of his wonderful voyage, life on board the \u2018 Fram,\u2019 the experiences of the ship and her crew amidst the ice, and the various adventures of the members of the party.The lecture was abundantly iliustrated with stereopticon views which were most pretty and which were much appreciated by those present.The long Arctic night, the northern lights as seen in the zenith of their beautv.the vast ice-fields and other scenes portrayed with accurate fidelity the strange and wonderful beauty of these comparatively hidden and unknown regions.\u2014e\u2014\u2014 DR.BESSEY\u2019S TRIAL POSTPONED.Toronto, Nov.11.\u2014Mr., Justice Meredith brought the Criminal Assize Court to a sudden conclusion yesterday because the crown was not ready to proceed.When Dr.Bessey was arraigned for trial on a charge of abortion, Mr.Kerr, the crown counsel, said that he was not ready to go on, but would be by Friday or Monday.The judge insisted that the rights of jurors had to be considered.Continuing, he said :.\u2018I can- rot force the case on, but I will not keep the jurors here from day to day with nothing to do.They have been from their homes, their families and their business now for ten days, and have possibly done two days\u2019 work.It is not their fault.There is something wrong or the system is wrong.I will not detain them longer., The court is ready, the jurors are ready, the prisoner is ready, but the crown is not ready.\u2019 After some further talk the case was traversed to the next assizes, Dr.Bessey being allowed out on bail.THEY SUBMIT.Quebec, Nov.11.\u2014The court house ofti- cial stenographers\u2019 strike is at an end.| This morning Attorney-General Archain- bault recived a letter from Mr.Lomer Gouin, M.P.P., interceding for the strikers, and enelosing a letter from them stating that they had decided to submit to the terms imposed on them by the Provincial Government.The Hon.Mr.Archambault will bring the matter before the goverament in council, and it is thought that the strikers will have their commissions renewed, and perhaps a a slight increase made in the indemnity for their services.eres.PRINCE BISMARCK\u2019S HEALTH.Kriedrieharuhe, Nov.11.\u2014There is nothing to cause anxiety as to the von- such heroes &s youreelf.We realize what you have achieved in the very face of death, yet with motives so pure and bene- ficont, and methods smo entirely free trom carnage\u2014a blessed contrast-to the glories | won in war, Oanada, which owns vast and rich interests in the Arctic regions, and perhaps it may be found possesses the pole | | driving- dition of Prince Bismarck.His facial neuralgin has been aggravated by the east wind which has prevailed recently, and this prevents him from going out His general health is better A RESPITE FOR DURANT, THE SUPREME COURT EXTENDs HIS TERM OF LIFE FOR 4 FURTHER PERIOD.San Francisco, Cal, Nov.12, \u2014Willum Henry Theodore Durant will 1 Le hanged in the San Quintan jail tool the Supreme Court of this state have granted a respite at the eleventh hou Up to four o'clock yesterday afternom wben the news was flashed over ti.wires from Sacramento that the rou-1 now in session there had granted a wt of probable cause and instructed \\\\ den Hale not to carry out the exe-ut on of Durant until further orders, there » apparently no further hope for the -., demned murderer of Blanche Lame: and Minnie Williams, as his attorne:\u2026 Messrs.Dickinson and Boardman.hn made a futile effort to secure another writ of habeas corpus in the Unite: States court and had not been even granted permission to appeal from that decision to the Supreme Court of th United States.Meanwhile, however.Attorney Dupre hastened to Sacramento and applied to the State Supreme Court for a writ of probable cause for the purpose of staying the proceedings againat his client upon the grounds that no oft: cial knowledge of the action of the Supreme Court of the United States in th.matter of Durant\u2019s appealing from the decision of the federal court had yet lin received ;
