Ching \"Ling has deeply pitted eyes, a small mole behind the ear, strong, even\u2019 teeth, ete.These are samples of the examinations which are conducted by order of the Dominion Government, through the .n- strument -of a departmental regulation.The Chinaman who reaches - Vancouver from his native land intending to take up his residence in.the Dominion, passes the examimation to which reference has lar capitation tax and-is a free man.If he is coming to the East he is taken in bond by the C.P.R., and landed at Montreal, where, in \u2018the matter of number, hair, eyes, mouth, teeth, etc.he is made to correspond with the \u2018manifest the.same as that ng ig vives.brought it Sy by ted States, they are t C.P.\"R.east\u2014 company paying fifty | dollars per hes to the government, which refunds the \u201cmoney when .the examinations and identifications are complete and the bonds are cancelled.The detention of - the body qf Chinamen referred to a day or two ago was unusual.As a matter of ordinary practice the men are permitted -by the C.P.R.to go to the Chinese ledging-places on Ja- gauchetiere street,pending the completion of the papers\u2014the company, of course, holding itself responsible to the government for the production of every one of the Chinamen, upon penalty of forfeiting fifty dollars in each case.As a matter of fact, the forfeitures are few, considering the number of Chinese hand- dled in the course of the yeaf, although once in a while there is a straying away beyond the range of supervision, and the company pays the-ffty dollars to the customs authorities.The initial stamp is placed upon the goods, so to say, at Vancouver.That stamp must be found in its integrity at Montreal.This is how the tax can be collected.This is how the goods can be accounted for.There are hundreds of Ah Sens, the customs officials will tell you, all alike, @8 peas are alike.The son of Ah Sen does not use the name of his father.There are no antecedents to fait back upon.You could trace a man 3 named Smith or Jones back to, say, Wil- ham the Conqueror.In the case of the Chinaman you -must -simply deal with merchandise, which must correspond in évétÿ particular tothe original marks placed upon it.- Customs officials, when pressed, will admit that the examination may be more or Jess degrading, though they do not think that the Chinese mind it very much.Asked how it might feel if brought home to the individual case, the answer was a look of indignation.Pressed to cenfess that John Chinamap was, after all, a brother, the reply was an emphatic repudiation of kinship\u2014one gentleman quoting the efforts of the Rev.Mr.Maxwell in the House of Commons to have the tax raised to five hundred dollars to keep out John Chinaman, whom, even the clergy were unwilling to accept as relatives in the scheme of a universal family.And then it\u2019is said that John China- man, for all his gentleness and pliability, is artful to a degree.He.had an ancient cunning ages before the Anglo-Saxon race appeared upon the planet.And, if you can believe hat customs officials will tell you, he constantly delights in circumventing all your regulation®, no matter how elaborate.Thus, he used to trade a béén made, pays his fifty dol-| Ee tax nisl over.That \u2018used to send this certificate over 10 to be used by his friends \u2018these for the purpose of effecting an en- \"trance-té the Dominion.\u2018This became a | rear business in time; indeed, the cer- ltificéte wis negotiable in the Chinese banks, and became as good as money.The answer of unimaginative red tape to that was to demand another examination upon leaving the country and the issuance of another certificate entitling the \u2018holder and the holder only to re-entry.This proved a check as far as it went, but you will be told that there are, at this moment, in Montreal, Chinamen so art- \u2018ful, so patient, so silent, so sphinx-like, so wise with the wisdom of long ages, that they can befog and puzzle the western intellect with ridiculous ease.You will be told that there are Chinamen rich\u2014rich beyond the dreams of avarice, | pare he 4e Lg b TE 3 smuggling their countrrmen \u2018into the United States, against the law \u2018in that case made and provided.\u201d It is an art\u2014 high art.The process is occult\u2014deep as a well.It has been hinted that a few poor Occidental creatures, who never cculd have conceived the greatness of the scheme, have been taken into confidence and act as subordinates for handsome spoils, Of course, the big money goes to the originators, who, in secret, are able, despite the most stringent and brutal laws, to smuggle hundreds of China- men into the forbidden territory in the course of the year.The wit of the Chinaman is pitted aguinst stupid and barbarous laws which, while they are ineffectual for the purpose intended, are degrading in their effects, not merely in the case of those against whom they were primarily directed, but upon the people who made the laws for their alleged protection.THE FIRST STEAMERS.THE PORT WILL BE BUSY EARLY |\u201d NEXT SEASON.Already many enquiries are being received at the steamship passenger agents\u2019 offices in this city as to dates of sailing, etc, .during the coming season \u2018of naviga-.| tion.j of in met ;

Oddfellows\u2019 Building, Princess street, was destroyed by fire.A lamp exploded in the Business College department about 6.40 o'clock and at nine o'clock the building was a mass of ruins.The building.was owned by the Kingston Lodge of Oddfellows, and was valued at $35,000.It was insured for $20,000.The building was occupied on the first \u2018flat by two stores, used as a china store and grocery and owned by Ockley Bros.They carried a stock of $20,000 and were well insured., Nothing wes saved.The store ont'the corner was vacant.On the second flat was the Oddfellows\u2019 Relief As- fouistion, Mr.B Meek, secretary.The stock, furniture, papers, ete, is \u2019 large, but partially insured.The valuable books, documents, ete., are in a vault.The Kingston Business College was on this flat.Nothing was saved, not even the books of Mr.J.B.McKay, proprietor.He has a small insurance, On the third flat was a large lodge room and -anterooms.The Kingston lodge was the owner.It was handsomely equipped: There were ten or twelve sub-tenants, other fraternal societies, The lodge had, \u2018about a thousand dollars\u2019 worth of fur niture and fittings, with partial insur ance.The other societies lose considerably.The fire made great headway and with an inefficient water supply the brigade could not cope with it.No adjoining property wes destroyed.The loss is estimated at

Witress.\u2019 Montreal\u201d The Daily Witness.Lord Kitchener's forces have found Gallebat unoccupied by troops of Menelik, emperor of Abyssinia, who claims it, and he has occupied it.The town of Gallabat, or Metemmeh, is the great centre of the trade between the Soudan and Abyssinia, and is for that reason greatly prized.The province of Gala\u201d bat is very fertile and well watered, as it lies between the upper tributaries of | the Atbara river and the Rahad river, & tributary of the Blue Nile.The people are mostly Mohammedans, descendgnts of the tribes of Darfur, who pass that |, way through Abyssinia on their pilgrimage to Mecca.The Emperor Menelik\u2019s position i in Abyssinia js nôt at all as Jr ble as waa supposed, the rebellion birn.in.Tiggie having proved mo fo In anÿ event, Marie opposition to the British in thé Soudan is no longer a matter of serious apprehension.Besides, he is inclined to be very friendly of late.\u2014\u2014 \u2018 Uganda despatches announce the death of Bilel, the leader of the Soudanese rebels, whose determination of character, energy and abilty have rendered difficult and prolonged the task of subduing ithe ' rebels and pacifying the province.It was by Bilel\u2019s orders that Major Thurston and the two other British officers at Fort Lubwos were murdered a year ago last August, at the be- ginming of the outbreak.He knew thet he would never be pardoned for this deed, and hence his determination never to surrender.\u2018Only abont a couple of hundred of the Boudanese rebels now sur: vive, but there are with them three hundred Uganda Mohammedans.They are without ammunition, however, and will now probably surrender.Mwanga, the former king of Uganda, is now desirous of submitting, but as his young son has been declared king, it is not expected he will be received back.The massacre of a squad of Major Macdonald's force on its way to Sobat by way of Lake Rudolf or Uganda, or by the rebels, but hy one of the tribes of the

telegram, the attitude of Spain with regard to the Caroline Islands, and we presume those of the Ladrones which the United States has not taken possession of.The.same despatch, however, informs us that three of the most capable purchasers are barred, namely, Great Britain, the United States end Japan, which practically leaves the eompetition between Germany, Russia and France.\u2018Whether any one of these will take the whole lot at a bargain for ready money, or whether the warring nations will each get a few and fortify them against each other, is what remains to be settled.Germany is the only one of these three that has ever set eyes on these islands in the past, and she probably has the rai prescription of having wanted them long er and more than any other nation.It will be remembered that twelve years THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1809.- - was not, committed by natives of Unyoro, Tago\" she hoisted her flag over them, but afterwards acknowledged Spain's sovereignty on condition

possesison of a country that {it will take long, long years to subdue, Pr EGYPTIAN COURTS.An announcement of a judge of the mixed tribunals of Egypt has created excitement among foreign peoples there, who evidently believe that these courts for the trial of cases in which foreign interests are concerned are about to be | swept away and perhaps a protectorate set up.In all semi-civilized Asiatic and .African countries where the administration of justice by the native courts has * [mot the confidence of the European, powers, criminal charges, and even civil suits, against foreigners are tried in consular courts in which Europeans, generally the consuls, sit as judges.These con- {sular courts were only abandoned a few years ago in Japam, and still exist in Egypt for the trial of criminal cases against foreigners.These courts, est up under capitulations or treaty agreement, -do not try civil cases in Egypt.The mixed tribunals were instituted in 1875 as a substitute for the capitulations under which each country transacted its legal business in its own consulate.They deal with civil actions between persons of different nationalities or between natives and foreigners, and to some extent with criminal offences of foreigners.They have also encroached upon the ju- riediction of the native courts in cases in which foreigners are indirectly interested and in cases in which foreign governments are supposed to be interested.The British Government, under whose supervision and control the native courts have been reformed and rendered worthy\u2019 of confidence, has demanded of the Eu- Topean powers the reorganization of the mixed tribunals and the restriction of theif jurisdiction to foreign cases.The native courts have.indeed became so reliable that it has been supposed that se Great.Britain might:Aotoarid shakes thi) rand of the sevobd period of the five year \u2018terms for which the tuixed \u2018tribünals exist by the treaties, which will be on the: first of February next, they be abolished -| altogether.It was officially announced, however, that they would be renewed for one year to allow of the foreign governments interested coming to an agreement as to the limitation of their jurisdiction in the future.Great Britain's course vin setting up a joint\u2019 protectorate of the .Soudan has evidently led foreigners to believe that she would shortly ussume the direct responsibility for the administration of Egypt itself.Under the consular and mixed tribunal court system foreign traders and money-lenders have enjoyed privileges and immunities which are by no means just or fair to native Egyptian interests, either individual or public.Their abolition is in any event a mere question of time, as Great Britain\u2019s rule in Egypt is now regarded on the Continent as certain to prove permanent.As soon as the protectorate is publicly declared, if mot sooner, their functions will cease.It is probably the idea of a British protectorate being declared next month which has been started by the judge\u2019s announcement in regard to the work of the mixed tribunals, and it is calculated to create excitement among the anglophobe.foreign elements of Cairo and Alexandria.Resident foreigners naturally cling to their privileges and im- munities, and object to being tried by native judges.elf TORONTO HARBOR.Montrealers will, we hope, interest themselves in the measures that Toron- tonians have under consideration with « view to doing their part in the development of the Canadian transportation trade.The improvement of their harbor which they are about to ask the Dominion Government to carry out at an expense of about half a million to the nation will, they hope, contribute to that end hy enabling grain cargoes brought from the Canadian North-West by the short eut across Ontario from Georgian Bay ports to be shipped by water to Montreal at a lower rade than the grain can be carried to Montreal either by water around by the lake route or by rail all the way from Georgian Bay to Montreal.We confess that the discus sion of the question has made us lows hopeful of the éuccess of the undertaking + v those of Spain in the island.The whale than we were when i it began.Neverthe- leas, the project is worth attempting at the necessary cost, which if limited te the improvement of Toronto harbor, need not be great.The straightening and the lessening of the grades of the railways connecting the Georgian Bay with Toronto, which would cost a good deal, is not necessary to the experiment, and might be postponed till success was assured.Toronte barbor should certainly be improved, but it is a question whether a city the size of Toronto should not undertake the work itself instead of burdening the Dominion with it.The Montreal Harbor Commission Shas borne the maintenance of Montreal harbor by taxing the shipping and commerce of the port for the construction and maintenance of the facilities which they use.And the government is in debt to the commissioners in the sum of two million dollars for interest paid upon the Lake St.Peter channel improvements.The government has never spent ome cent undertaken to spend a cent.All the improvements and injuries about which the Minister of Public Works is busying himself are being done, and are to be done, at the expense of Montreal and of the commerce that makes use of the improvements.All the government does is to guarantee the Harbor Commissioners\u2019 bonds, thus enabling them to secure the money necessary at a shade lower rate of interest than they would otherwise have to pay.Toronto, which will hardly claim to be less able than Montreal to pay its own way, would be justified in asking the government to guarantee its harbor bonds in the same way as it does Montreal's.If the Toronto Harbor Commission undertakes the cost of the improvements of its harbor it will, as the Montreal Commission does, fight extravagant and uneconomical \u2018and unnecessary expenditures, and there will be no question in that case as to whether the city of Toronto shall be a- lowed to go on using the improved harbor for a convenient receptacle for all its sewage, a8 it proposes doing if the government undertakes the improvements, unless, indeed, the government objects.This it will surely do if it does not foar loving votés thereby in Toronto, In tb donmmtioe, .vere Sittle dredging; in) Toronto harbor will-anable the -experi- ment of shipments of grain basing made.from Toronto to Montreal through the fourteen-foot canals next season without waiting for the improvements, which will take a year at least te carry through.\u2014pi\u2014\u2014\u2014 NATURAL HISTORY.Montreal has been singularly fortunate in the possession of museums of natural history.There was firat that of the Natural History Society, which opened out in the early fifties in a mansion in Little St.James street, where it was the care of a group of such public-spirited citizens as Major Lachlan and Dr.Holmes, who contributed his botanical collection, Judge McCord, Dr.Hingston, Mr.Lunn and others, and which became the repository in all departments of natural and ethnological science of many collections made by various people.The society had existed since 1828, and had connected with it in its early days such] names as those of

fostering care.Courses of lectures were delivered in its lecture hall by such men as Dawson, Hunt, Holmes and others.Mr.E.Billings came from Ottawa to take care of the collection, and very soon.the present .building was, under Sir Wil liam Dawson's initistive, erected for it on property belonging to Moef3ill College, where it has been housed now for over forty years.It was also-in the fifties

improvement and\u2019 upon Montreal harbor, and has not yet.nomically done for any country than was done in that building, where the great chief himself used to spend day and night, taking his repose on a reclining cBair with a buffalo robe to pull over him.After his death the work which had been his pride was removed to (yt.tawa, where the government had gone long before.Within the memory of the present generation arose upon the Me- Gill College campus the magnificent Peter Redpath Museum building, which became the storehouse of those educational collections which had been the life work of Sir William Dawson.The difficulty which seldom fails to confront those who- undertake such enterprises is that the material soon surpasses the limits of their space, and, what is worse, unless a constant process of pre paration of specimens and systematizing \u2018of their arrangement is carried on, the collection falls into decay, The letter of Mr.Williams in this paper shows that the Natural History Society has in this respect come to a pass in\u2019 which it must have relief.It is not necessary for us to re-state the case so effectively set forth by him.We can only commend it to our readers in the hope that some of them may see in it an opportunity to emulate the public-spirited men from whom we inherit this museum by lifting it out of its straits and placing it iñ'a position to do effectively the educational work which its founders intended.Looking .at.a saumber of mutually complementary enterprises such as this Natural History Society, the Fraser Institute, the Art Association, the Mechanics\u2019 Institute and others, none of them as well off as it would like to be, and nome of them \u2018doing all for the public that it might, one wonders whether they could not be rendered mutually helpful.Years ago there was a scheme to this effect discussed in the \u2018Witness\u2019 by éorrespon- dents, who proposed that these organizations should be federated into a sort of polytechnic institution, oecupying a common building or contiguous buildings somewhere in the neighborhood where most of them are found ; but nothing seems to have come of the plan.Oth ers propose that, as has taken place in Dundee and perhaps other towns, these institutions should bé taken under the vins of, Mall Paivgraiy and, carried on bysiboder sion: arréagerent, * Soie have eked whether there \u2018is no way in \u2018which this Natural History Muséum \u2018could combine.with the Peter Redpath Museum whose scope is very similar, but one is met at the threshold of this proposal with the difficulty thet the Redpesh Mu.seuin is already more then full, if all its \u201cpresent collection were duly disffayed, and that no way offers of enlarging it, the building being of such an architectural construction-and in emeh a position that it cannot be added to.This mu: seum is also far from being financially in a-positien to do justice to ite own callec- tion, and would be greatly the better of increased endowment.Magnificent opportunities of acquiring new treastires are every week being lost by both.of.these institutions for lack of a little money to spend.\u2018 Their

Deepening and Improving.IF IT I8 TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SOLUTION OF THE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM.Toronto, Jan.24.\u2014This city has entered heart and soul into the plans for the development of Canada\u2019s grain transportation trade, which it thinks it is favorably situated to participate in.It is the most centrally situated of the Lake Ontario ports of Canada, and has always commanded what may be called the local lake trade of the province, whieh is con.| siderable, and has been a steadily increas.| 7 ps .403, «6-ccinpared with S088 vessels, of: tonnage of 954,570 for 1507.in the number and tonnage of sailing vessels, which tend to disappear at seaports.The receipts of all kinds of goods, with the exception of fruit and grain, showed a considerable increase this year over last, the quantity of coal being 161,- 038 tons, against 128,217 last year, and the number of bricks 1,058,900, against 428,400 last year, and mo on.The revenue shows a considerable surplus.This local trade is capable of considerable \u2018development, but it is by the establishment of a great through transportation trade that Toronto seeks to turn her fine natural harbor to full account.The completion \u2018of the work of deepening the St.Lawrence carals to fourteen feet next season ought to have the effect of making Toronto one of the most important receiving and shipping grain centres in Can- ads, besides augmenting her already great trade and industrial interests.Her railway requirements in this copnection\u2014 more direct lines to Georgian Bay ports \u2014have already been fully dealt with in a former letter.To take full advantage of the deep canal system and of her fine position as a lake port, Toronto feels strongly the necessity of great improvements in her harbor.Although the harbor is or was, naturally a deep water one of about thirty.feet, the entrances to it at the east and west of the island which lies acroes its front, have been comparatively very shallow, and have a tendency to silt up.Moreover, the Don river, which enters the eastern part of the harbor, brings into it great quantities of soil, which have gradually built up a great swamp, and is still silting up the harbor.The city sewers empty direct ly into the bay in front of the city, and \u2018assist in filling up the harbor as well as foul the waters of the bay, and turn into a filthy, unhealthy cesspool what should be a beautiful, wholesome pleasure sheet of water.Engineers calculate: that the Don deposits 75,000 tons of silt and other matter, and the city sewers about 25,- 000 tons of solid matter, annually into the harbor.In parts of the harbor where in 1872 there was 29 feet 6 inches of water,\u2018surveys in 1897 showed there was then only 22 feet 6 inches.Between the Royal Canadien Yacht Club\u2019s house and the foot of Yonge street a deposit of over seven feet had taken place in the same time.Some of the wharves are in very shallow water, and the very uneconomical policy of dredging lanes to them has been in vogue, an operation which has to be carried out annually, as the lanes fill up in the e eastern entrance to the harbor, which is the one used by the larger vessels, is too shallow to accommodate the largest lake boats.The western entrance is still shallower, and is only used.by the small Hamilton steamers and the stone-hookers, as the vessels are called which gather up stones along the coast and bring them to the city for building purposes.There It is inter: esting to note that there was an increase | is no immediate necessity for deepening it, though there are those who would demand of the Federal Government the cutting of a new deep water western entrance.The Dominion Government is, of course, expected to undertake and carry through the necessary harbor improvements, and the City Council, the Board of Trade and the Harbor Commisgioners have joimed for the purpose of presenting and urging them upon Mr.Tarte, the Minister of Public Works, who has already been communicated with in regard to the matter.These bodies have prepared a petition which asks that the piers of the eastern channel shall be continued southerly until a: depth of eighteen feet of water is reached, and then the whole channel dredged to the same depth.In 1891 the City Council contributed $120,000 to the work of improving the entrance, and it is claimed that the Dominion Government has never properly completed it.The work is still going on apparently, as last season 67,000 cubic feet of sand were removed and a depth of 17 feet 6 inches obtained over the .portion of the entrance thus dredged.The | second request of the petition is that the Don river should be directed from the or right through the marsh to the lake.The third request.is.that the eastern part of the harbor shall be dredged.And the fourth, which is put in without much expectation of its being granted, is that 8 new western channel shall be opened.The harbor engineer, Mr, Sully, estimsdtes that the cost of the work necessary would be about $300,000, and his is the lowest estimate, Other estimates vary from $450,000 to $600,000, Mr.Elias Rogers, president of the Board of Trade, and Mr.Edward Gur: ney, ex-president, are strongly of the opinion that the government will require adequate assurances that the present sewerage syetem, which does much to fill up the harbor, will be abandoned and a different system adopted.\u2014\u2014 MILITIA CHANGES.Ottawa, Jan.25.\u2014Militia General Orders issued this morning contain the fol- ming | items of interest

of Mrs.W.Sclater, under the auspices of the Westmount Young Women's Christian Temperance Union.Mrs.R.W.McLachlan, the vice-president of the County Union, presided.The chief interest of the meeting was centred in an able paper by Dr.Elizabeth Mitchell on \u2018The growing girl and how to care for her\u2019 Dr.Mitchell congratulated the little girl of to-day on having fallen upon times when girls.were comparatively freed from the trammels of dress and allowed to emulate their brothers in many open-air pastimes, when the value of physical education is beginning to be understood not merely in relation to the body, but also as to its effects upon the mental powers.But unfortunately it was only beginning.In too many cases long hours.of study in close, crowded class rooms \u2018wire not only permitted but encouraged.Girls between the ages of twelve and sixteen should not, she maid, be allowed to study for more than five or six hours a day.But what was the actual state of affairs now existing?Little girls were in school from nine till two or three with only a short intermission, then, they went to music and other lessons and the evening they spent preparipg lessons for the.next day.The girl of to-day.stooped and crouclied over her books as her grandmother did over her embroidery frame and white seam, and the mothers who are alive to the serious danger of all this are pitifully few.To check thie evil the doctor said there should be in physical training for girls under the di- needs of the growing girl her special study.Mental acquirements should not be rated above bodily powers.Full mental development was impossible without a strong body.Mental and physical education should go hand in hand, as good comrades, each stopping when necessary to wait for the other.The doctor was thankful that smatterings of accomplishments had gone out of fashion.Every girl is no longer expected to take to the piano as a duck takes to water.Money that was once wasted over music and art in a girl who had no taste for either was now spent in the much.more needed scientific training in cooking and dressmaking.This is an j&ge of specialism, Women were forced to launch.out on the sea of life for themselves.In this new life opening before \u2018women the rice Froud not be to the wlth nik but to \"eh.ee ith She prentent staying power.A woman of to-day must possess great endurance and great powers of recupera- | tion.With these she may excel ; without them she is lost.This was followed by careful detailed instruction ae to the general care of the growing girl, for

their little girls.\u2018How can we have the hours shortened ?asked one.\u2018Put women on the school boards !\u2019 exclaimed another.\u2018What do men know about the needs of little girls \u2018How can we go to work to get women on school boards # asked another.\u201cWell, the officers of the Provincial W.C.T.U.have just signed a petition to the Quebec Legislature asking that women be eligible for election on school boards,\u201d was the reply, and the sense of the meeting was an earnest wish that the petition may speedily be granted.And when the formal part of the meeting closed and tea was passed round, the talk on the important topic still continued.\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE CITY PAYS AGAIN.Judge Gi rendered an Instanter judgment this morning in the case of A.Arcand vs.the city.This

appointed a delegation.composed of Mr.D.Richer and one priest to wait upon the Quebec Government for the purpose of having one of the clauses of Mr.cation bill withdrawn.The particular clause, it is alleged, if enacted, might cause à great loss to the board.It gives to the occupants, that'is to the proprietors of improvements only, the right to tion, a right heretofore granted to the real estate owners only The clause also entitles such occupants to seek election as Bchool commissioners.The board can order the sale of the improvements for arrears of taxes, but if à vonflagra- tion occurs, as has happened in Hull three times already, the destruction of the buildings deprives the board of all means of collecting their taxes, since the land reverts to the owners, who, in Hull, are chiefly Protestants.Hull is perhaps the only city in the province where such a condition prevails.ADVERTISEMENTS, SEX WEEKS IN PAIN DUNGEON.A Confirmed Invalid from Acute Rheumatism South American Rheumatic
