but a letter received thæ morning said he was better and that his physicians were ætisfied with his progress towards recovery.The publitation of the \u2018 Pall Mall Gaze'le's report to-day caused numbers of inquiries to be made at No.4 White Hall Court, the residence of Mr, and Mrs.Henry Gludstone.The \u2018Westmisster Gazette,\u2019 although \u2018 \u2018minimizing the alarming reports concerning the © Mr.Gladstone, is \u2018con strained td admit the fact that Mr, Gladstone hag suffered great pain most of the\u201d me Be bas been Cannes, being unable to leave.Continuing, the: it ster Gazette\u2019 remarks :\u2014 So far as the vital organs are congerned,.however, he is no worse.On the other hand, continuous pain in a man of Mr.Gladstone's age is undoubtedly a symptom to cause anxiety.\u2019 * \u2019 * Victoria, B.C., Jan.19\u2014On Monday night a man named Louis Elkins was summoned to the door of his hdunse, where he found an Indian, who insisted on being accommodated with a night's lodging.Elkihs refised, whereupon the Indian became abusive, and Éhally murdered him.Pf Petrelli UNITED STATES ARMY.CAUSTIC \u20acRITICISM BY THE SON OF GENERAL McCLELLAN.\u2014 Buffalo, N.Y., Jan.18.\u2014A special to the \u2018Evening News\u2019 from Washington today says: \u2018It was a peculiar situation in the National House of Representatives yesterday when Congressman McClellan, son of General McClellan, in impassioned sentences denounced the United States army as inefficient, top-heavy with gold lace and unworthy of this nation.It was utterly arwzing, he said, but it was true, that not an officer in the service was engaged in preparing for war.There existed not a single plan of campaign, not a single skeleton order for mobilization, na plan for camps or instruction ; in fact, not one of the preliminary ne- cesgities to meet a war crisis ehould it come.Mr.McClellan\u2019s remarks were given close attention and he was liberally applauded when be concluded.rte ANTI-HEBREW DEMONSTRATION.Algiers, Jan.19.\u2014The afmdents here engaged in a violent anti-Hebrew demonstration yesterday evening.'

Mr.Ames ought to have a seat in the council, and ho has been repeatedly asked to allow his name to be used.Up till the present year he has refused on the score that the organization for securing purity of elections, of which he was the head, desired it to be well understood that it was not seeking promotion for its own: members.He has also refused positive ly to stand for any ward of which he was not an intevested citizen.This latter consideration has determined him, when he did come out, to stand for Bt.| Antoine Ward.Apart from any com- $ parisons with hie opponent, Mr.Ames is an ideal candidate, being a man of wealth and culture, with his time at command, and with, we believe, no in- \u2018terests at variance with those of the pub- \u2018Me, who bas patgiotically davoted him): self to the servios of his sity, and hes prepared himself by a long course of study end travel, by social investigation and beneficent experiment, and by activity in reform organizations, for the position which he is now ready to accept.A good deal of what has here been said for Mr.Ames can also with truth be said of Dr.Weir, who is being urged to stand in St.Lawrence Ward.\u2014\u2014p=\u2014\u2014 | Paris is just now passing through one of its periodical paroxysms of \u2018fool fury,\u201d of which she is ashamed in her calmer moments.This time it is against the Jews.The theory is that the Jews have subsidized the press to defend Dreyfus, who is a Jew.France has no means of knowing whether Dreyfus has been truly condemned or not, or whose turn it may be to-morrow, as he has\u2019 been condemned by a secret military court, the evidence being determinedly withheld from the public.France has two good reasons for suspecting this judgment.One is the history of her secret courts-martial in the past, which are too well known to have beeg in many cases simply the suspension at once of all justice and of all liberty.The other is this same determined withholding of the evidence, for which there must, one would think, be some interested reasong The right attitude for a lib- erty-loving people under such cireum- stances is that of Zola and those other publicists who demand fair play, even for a Jew accused of treason.Instead of this, Paris, led by the students, as sumes that no one would be just to a Jew unless subsidized, and goes wild about such wholesale treason as is implied in the vigorous proteats of some writers.The same method of attack is being reciprocated against the minister of war, who is accused of using army funds to bribe those papers which are hounding on the fanatics to mob violence.There is universal distrust of the press.It is apparently assumed on both sides that all newspapers are corrupt.It is also, however, getting to be suspect ed that the government has treason to conceal far worse than that any poor captain of engineers could be guilty of, and if this suspicion gains ground there are squalls ahead.For the moment it is as much as a man\u2019s life is worth to throw himself against this tide of government protected fury, but Zola, for one, is not a man to be trifled with.pu ; \"TORONTO WANTS 10 CUÉ OÙT - sothusissm and

connections a Bud- bury, and running down the Ottawa valley, carries\u2019 the through traffic.straight to Ottiws and Montres).Inthe hope of tapping the through traffic, the railway to North Bay, connectibg with the 1oain line of the Canadian \u2018Pacific, was secured, but, while serving local ends and also making it easier for special Toronto traffic with the North-West to reach the purpose of drawing the trafic from the eastern route to Montieal.\u2018Then the Parry Sound & Ottewa Railway was built, and this road, with its Canada At-' lantic connection, has created another east and west through route to Ottawa and Montreal, cutting off another big | slice of northern Ontario.Moreover, the Parry Sound & Ottawa Railway is reaching out east and west for connections, steamship and railway, which will make it also a transcontinental railway, carrying the traffic to the north and east of Toronto.Naturally enough, this is all very unsatisfactory to Toranto.And that is not all.Commercial possibilities, vague | but vast, are foreshadowed as a result of\u2019 the opening up and development of the districts north to Hudson\u2019s Bay, which: are } said to be rich in minerals and timber; ;and of the resources in fish and fur, of! \u2018Hudson's Bey.\u201d À belief that\u201d \u2018the navigation of Hudson's Bay for steamships |! will be declared feasible also exists, and Toronto wants to have a direct connec-i tion with this route to Eurdpe, Discussion in private, in the newspapers, in pub.ic meetings, in the council, and even with the Ontario Government, has served to convince the citizens of the Queen City that there are quite a number of railway projects which will perfectly serve her purposes, and that all that is neces sary is to choose the best.The tamest proposition is to extend the existing railway which joins the Canadian Pacific at North Bay, on Lake Nipissing, to Hudson\u2019s Bay by way of the Abittibi river to James\u2019» Bay, at the head of Hudson\u2019s Bay.But that railway has already failed to bring traffic to Toronto.Another proposition is to extend the Haliburton Railway to the Ottawa river at Mattawa, on the Canadian Pacific Railway, and from thence by the Abit- tibi river to \u2018James's Bay, thus tapping the traffic of the Parry Sound Railway and the Canadian Pacific at po.nts much further east than the North Bay Railway and giving Toronto a second chance.Lindsay, Haliburton and all the county of Victoria greatly admire and support this project, of course.Then there is ancther project, and this is perhaps the favorite.It is the construction of a cemplete new line from Toronto to Sud- | bury, as straight as it can with economy be made to run.This, it is hoped, would certainly draw the traffic from the main line and the Sault Ste, Marie direct it from Ottawa and Montreal to Toronto.Parry Sound claims that it is on the line of this railwdy, and that if the people of Toronto are wise they wil decide upon this route and carry it through Parry Sound, thus getting the benefit of their harbor and the immense grain\u201dtrade which Parry Sound is going to divert from Buffalo as it passes on ita way from Port Arthur, Duluth, Chicago and other lake ports, and which thé Pany- Sound & Ottawa Railway is calculating upon.This route would bring Sudbury within thirty miles of Toronto, and fiom Sudbury to James's Bay thg dis} tange is only four hundred miles.But Soult Ste.Marie people hold that it would be a greet mistake to Carry.the] railway to Sudbury ; it ought \u201cto come: Canadian Pacific,

Fort\u2019 Charphill is the only possible Hud -son\u2019s Bay port for Ontario.York Factory, or Port Nelson, would be ane hun: -dred and fifty miles.further south.Moreover, Toronto has to count upon the rivalry of Quebec for the trade of Hudson's Bay.The city of Quebea has railway already to Lake St.John, and from thers to Ruperts House, at the \u2018mouth of Rupert river, on James's Bay, the distance ja only about two-bun- dred miles.Rupert's House is, Mr.Thompson says, a very good harbor, as harbors on Hudson's Bay go.This route is nearly all surveyed, and a large party of \u2018men are now wintering at Ruperts Fouse to be in readiness to complete the sorvey in the spring.In view of the fact that the Canadian Pacific already has a branch line te Temiscamingue, which could be cheaply pushed into the heart of the timber district to the north {o the tributaries of the Ottawa river, from there to be floated down to Ottawa, the hope of Toronto securing the lumber trade by .the long haul over the railway.seems absurd.When these railway schemes were laid before the Premier of atarto he pointed out that Toronto had : Spupgetion with, Fo] wood and Open\u2019 Sound, whichi ought, to secure it as much of the \u2018trade of the Georgian Bay as would \u2018come that way, so that a fourth line to Parry Sound would probably be of little avail.Toreato\u2019s idea is that if an almost air line-was run from Sudbury by way of Parry Sound to Toronto, as a section of the Canadian Pacific, that company would be interested in securing traffic over the road to Toronto frem the west both by way of its main and Sault Ste.Marie lines and by the lake route to Parry Sound.The North Bay and Toronto Railway is a Grand Trunk road, and is therefore not likely to receive any traffic from the Canadian Pacific which that company could carry over its own lines further east, There are thoee, however, who think Toronto itself should own the line, if not operate it.If Ontario tarries out any of these projects her enterprise will certainly be deserving of success.THE ROAD OOMMITTEE.The Road Committee, at o meeting held yesterday afternoon, decided to re port in favor of granting the men who

would go seventeen hundred dollars, and no person would take him up.But people had better not come here with tho ides thet every person, one in ten thousand even, will do the same, or they will be

HOW DISTRIBUTED.The statement of the value of mer chandise entered for comsumption at the port of Montreal during the year ending Dec.81,1807, has just been issued from the office of the secretary of the Board of Trade and 1s a statistical document of much interest.The figures of 1897 are compared with those of 1806, thus making the compilation more valuable in a general as well as in a special way.Thus the moraliat and the merely curious will find that the value of the ale, beer and porter imported .in 1806 was $17,753, and had increased to $22,353 in 1897; while books to the value of $233,615 imported in 1896 had decreased to $219,032 in 1897.Brass was not nearly so much a favorite in Canada in 1897 ms in 1896, as the brass imported in the latter year came to $119, 971, againet 694,023 in the former.Ii may be that we are depending more upon, brass of our own manufacture.Of rice, $105,650 worth was imponted in 1897 apitrieé BIOS, VE in \u20181890, howing' that the: altered tariff has rather belped than injured the business.The \u2018whealing\u2019 \u201c| craze is reflected in the fact that bicy- des to the value of $168,789 were imported in 1897 agaimst'$99,187 in 1896.Canadians drugged and medicined themselves to an extra degree last year; perhaps, on account of the Jubilee or to keep down the high spirit induced by the prosperous times; the figures were $485,671 in\"1896 and $558,223 in 1897.Exceeding half a million of dollars means thet every Canadian, man, woman and child took more than ten cents\u2019 worth of physic last year, mot counting the entries at Toronto and other places.The imports of thread show important figures: in 1896, they were thread, not on spool, $207,863, and on spool, $212,387; in 1897, not on spool, $192,983, and on spool, $261,017.The imports of fruits, nuts, etc., considerably increased last year, as did fancy goods, window glass, gutta percha, hats, caps and bonnets, iron and steel manufactures, cutlery, hardware, machines, engines, Kentledge pig irom, stoves and castings, jewellery, watches, ete, manufactures of lead and leather, ad of metals, paper and envelopés, pickles, sauces, provisions, seeds and roote, soap, spirits, molasses and syrup, and many others.(Among the imports showing decreases are fish products, manufactures of furs, glass bottles, gunpowder, etc., boots and shoes, marble and stone.and manufac tures of, musioal i paints and colors, man ures of alk, wines other than sparkling, sugar, tobacco and cigars and manufactures of wood.The coin and bullion imported in 1896 was $5,006,-_ 948, against only $2,351,580 in 1897.The grand total of imports in 1897, dutiable and free, was $40,001,805 in 1887 and $38,- 592,477 in 1896, an increese of $1,409,328.The principal free imports last year were, animals for the i ent of stock, $12,043; asphaltum, $21,057; Indian corn, $2,875,768; coal, anthracite, $066,524 ; coffee, $280,520; cotton waste and raw cotton, $1677.20 019; dyes, chemi cale, etc, $632,643; fruit , bananes, ete, $158,278; grease for soap-making, 825, 454; fur skins, not dreamed, $270,124, and hides and ekins, $339,320.The total of free goods imported, excluding coin and bullion, was $13.714,108 in 1807, against $10,089,164 in 1808, an important increase for the year of $3,624,030.The articles exported included a total of $188,127 from the mines; $120,242 from fisheries: $5.731,583 from the forest; ani- \u2018mals and their produce, $27,045,138; agri cles, 8175041.A grand total of $64,240, 4 208.The çoin and bpilion exported was \u2018as

fourth annual sypod of the diocese opened in the Synod Hall at two o\u2019dlock yesterday afternoon, Hia Lordship the Bishop of Montreal presiding.The delegates having answered the roli-call, the meeting proceeded to organize.The Rev.Canon Empson was re-elected clerical secretary, and Mr.Richard White lay secretary; but\u2019es the\u2019 latter waa absent through indisposition, Mr.E.L.Bond was

Strachan Bethune and Charles (arch were named a committee, the first named being convener, to consider the bishop's charge.Reports of committees were read, and several notices of motion given.The Rev.W.P.Chambers precipitated an exceedingly lively discussion by introducing the following motion: \u2014 That in the opinion wf this Synod, the growing importance of woman\u2019s place and power in the Church should be officially recognized, and the work and influence of churchwomen if the diocese of Montreal, should be organized under the guidance and the authority of the Church ih the

Mr.Trocp\u2014I do not see what objection there is to the passing of the first clause.Rural Dean Smith\u2014Woman\u2019s work has been recognized, but as this has appeared on the paper it would not be good taste not to pass it.Mr.Flannigan, Canon Dixon, Mr.Kitt- Mr.Chambers then rose to remark that he had Leen wondering where the grammatical sense of the Synod was.What he had wished officially recognized was not woman's importance, but her \u2018growing\u2019 importance.Then followed a burst of grandiloquence which had the effect of considerably rousing some of the gentlemen present.Mr.Chambers said he thought that the gentlemen who blew up at false angles in the matter were really fighting shadows.As a final word he stated that women were- not organized at present under the diocese in any form whatever.Clause one was then put to the vote, and lost by sixty-nine to forty-eight.A lengthy and withal lively discussion followed on clause two, from which the introductory words, \u2018To this end,\u2019 were first eliminated.Mr.Chambers - re marked that it simply asked that fair play be given to the women of the diocese.\u2018 When they had contributed to the funds of the diocese, they should have a voice in their dispensation.He simply asked that the .women have the same privilege as they had before the change was made in the Temporalities Act, a change for which he saw no reason, and a change that some of the clergy had been protesting against ever since.That clause should be struck out of the Temporalities Act, which said woman was an inferior creature and must be left outside.He refuted the imputation that he was trying to insert the end of a wedge.He was asking for what would be obtained at this Synod, or next Synod, or some Synod thereafter.Dr.Norton pcinted out that to speak of the thing as a novelty was a mistake.Women had been members of vestries in England for 1,400 years, and they had never dishonored or abused the privilege.They had, on rare and important occasions, attended vestry meetings, and occasionally, in pursuance of a memorial, they came forward and acted as chureb wardens of a parish, and always with honor to themselves and the Church.Is Canada, until a few years ago, ladies had this privilege, and they never abused it.son and others also spoke at some length.|.They rarely went to vestry meetings, bat when they did; they discharged their duties excellently.He regarded the liber- Les oe omen in the Church aa part, of a broader and deeper question Kbertion .of the\u2019 laity of the Ce ese liberties néeded \u2018watching and ¢dn\u201d serving and developing, and unless théy were watched, conserved and developed; the Church would be wiped out of existence.At a time when men could not sign their own names, women who were worse educated than men, were admitted into vestries.Now, when the laity were educated up to, and in many cases above the standard of the Church, was this the time to turn round on the most useful laity and wipe out their franchise ?Surely not.He therefore favored the erasure of that clause in the Temporalities Act, inserted only a few years ago, of which most of the members of synod were ashamed.Fourteen hundred years more might pass away in the history of the Church, and there would be no cause for complaint that the ladies had been too forward, too aggressive, or disposed to abuse their historic rights in the vestries of the Church.! At the close of these fourteen hundred years, perhaps some wiseacres\u2014 (The speaker sat down amidst applause.) Mr.John Crawford would pot be bound by what history had recorded.He quoted Mr.Gladstone : \u2018 Ladies have never \u2018asked for ,these privileges ; they don\u2019t want them, and would rather not have them.Mr.Watson said that he had exper:- ence with ladies in vestry meetings forty years ago.He remembered that they used to be urged to go \u2018because there was so much more order, and no smoking\u2019 He thought the speaker on the opposite side must be particularly afraid of the young \u2018new woman.\u2019 (Laughter.) Well, they might bave an age of.limit.They might admit widows, (a voice, \u2018rich widows,\u2019) and\u2014and spinsters.(Renewed laughter.) After further unprofitable discussion the Rev.J.G.Baylis moved in amendment : \u2018That all the words after the words, \u201cLegislature of the province\u201d in this section of the resolution be struck out, and that the following words be put in: \u2018\u2018An amendment to the Church Temporalities \u2018Act, allowing unmarried women.who are pewholders in their own right to vote at vestry meetings, but they shall not be elie gible for election as churchwardens or sides- men.\u201d \u2019 There being no seconder the amend: ment fell to the ground.Canon Davidson, Mr.Troop, Mr.Charters, Dr.L.H.Davidson and others spoke in favor of the resolution, and Canon Dixon and Mr.Kittson against.The Rev.F.H.Graham moved in aménd- ment : \u2018That the officers of this synod are bere- by authorized to secure from the Legislature of the province, permission to alter section 2 of the Church Temporalities Act ot the diocese of Montreal, to read as fol- ows: \u2014 \u201c \u201d whe ours 1m this act shall be held to apply to either sex.\u2019 This wes lost on a vote: The closing of the debate was postponed until this morning.A service was held in Christ Church Rev.James Carmichael was the preacher, The friends of the Ven.Archdeacon \u2019 I'given ins little booklet which accompanies Cathedral at eight p.m., at which the: Lindsay were sorry to learn that he had been thrown out of his sleigh while driving to the Waterloo station to take train for the synod.He suffered only slight injuries, but suficient to detain him at Ct Be emt A © (Continued on Page Six.) ee ST.GEORGES SOCIETY.Yesterday evening was the occasion of the sixty-third annual meeting of the St.George\u2019s, Society.A large and influential gathering was presided over by the retiring president, Mr.Joseph Richards.The -president\u2019s report showed that during the past year there had been admitted to .the home 1,524 persone who had received advice, counsel, shelter and hospitality.Relief had also been given to 157 persons during the year, and 81 helped to return to England, Christian burial had also been provided for six adults, and to accomplish these various objects the charitable committee had been obliged to draw upon the treasurer.during the last twelve months to the amount of $1,014.75.The usual Christmas dinner had been provided for poor English families at a cost of $207.32, making a total outlay by the charitable committee of $1,222.07.Thanks were accorded to the Allan, Beaver snd Dominion lines for assisted passages to the old country and to the \u2018Gazette\u2019 and the \u2018Witness\u2019 for copies of their papers delivered daily at the Home.Reference was also made to the management of the Home by Mrs.Waller, the esteemed matron.| Mr.Richards concluded his remarks | by some loyal references to Her Majesty and the diamond jubilee year, during : which he had had the pleasure of being president.The treasurer's report was read by Mr.R.8.Clift, and was considered most satisfactory, showing the society to be in good financial standing and completely out of debt.The election of officers resulted as fol- | lows :\u2014President, Mr.William Nivin ; first vice-president, Mr.E.G.Penny, !

And you won't deny that he\u2019s a good-hearted and good- mannered boy \u2018I haven\u2019t noticed him much,\u2019 Ada answered; and that was true.\u2018T believe Sam is afraid of you,\u201d aaid her mother.\u201cWhy don\u2019t you get him to help you put out fhe croquet set, and have a game with \u2018him ?\u201d II .\u2018Pehaw !\u201d said Ada, pursing her red lips.That afternoon her father put his best horse into the buggy.\u2018I'm going over to Gresham to see Frank Husted about those Alderney cattle he\u2019s promised me,\u2019 he said.\u2018I've got other business there, too, and I guees I ghen\u2019t get home tonight.I'll be back to-morrow early.\u2019 Sam fastened a bucide jn the harness, and set open the big gate, and he drove off.Ada was watering her roses.Sam having latched the big gate, approached her shyly.\u2018If that rose bush by the porch was trained up a little,\u2019 be said, \u2018it would be better.Don\u2019t you want me to fix it?It was a timid advance toward acquaintance, but it was a failure.\u2018Oh, if you like,\u2019 eaid Ada, carelesaly, and the boy, flushing, went and got some pieces of string and e step ladder.Ada sprinkled the flowers.She had on 4 becoming white dress, and when a strange man came in at the gate presently she was not surprised that he turned upon her, as he lifted his hat to her, a distinctly admiring look, .\u2018Good evening.Is the gentleman of the house at home, mis ¥\u2019 he enquired.\u2018My father has just gone away,\u201d Ada amswered.\u2018Not, for long, I presume ¥ said the man.\u2018Till tomorrow,\u201d said Ada.\u2018Did you want to eee him ¥ \u2018Only a minute, miss.I wanted to borrow a hammer for a few minutes.My waggon\u2019s broke down, up the road a little way, and PH trouble you, miss if that\u2019s your hired man there\u2019\u2014Ada nod- ded\u2014if you'll let him step down and get me a hammer I'll be a thousand times obliged, miss,\u201d Ada liked his deeply respectful manner.\u2018Sam,\u2019 she mid, \u2018will you bring this gentleman a hammer ?* Sam descended from the stepladder and went to the barn.The stranger talked agreeably about the roses and the wes.ther til Bam reappeared.\u2018I'll go with you,\u2019 said Sam.\u2018Not at all! It ain°t necessary,\u2019 said the man, and held out his hand for the hammer.\u2018Oh, 1 guess I'l go along,\u2019 Sam persisted, and he pushed out at the gate with the stranger, deaf to his protests.\u2018The idea! I asked him to bring the hammer ; I didn\u2019t ask him to help the man,\u2019 thought Ada, with diepleasure, and when Sam came back she did not appear to see him, Sam finished with the rose bush; then he went out to the barn and stayed there till supper time.\u201cSam is tinkering up your father\u2019s old gun,\u2019 said Ada\u2019s mother: A shot sounded.\u2018Why, he's fixed it oo it will go!
