SITUATION NOW BECOMING HOPE; LESS, HE SAY8\u2014 TIMES\u2019 ON THE SUBJECT.2 \u2014\u2014 London, May 26.\u2014The New York cor respondent of the \u2018Timee,\u201d who has hith: erto been optimistic regarding an agree ment between the American and Cena- dian high commission, claims to krow that the situation has become aimos The correspondent depiores the Alaska.(snadian position in upsetting a settle: ment which was within sight, and extols the conciliatory attitude ot President McKinley and the American officials.le relates in detail bow the arrangement was on the verge of completion when Lord Salisbury, under pressure from Canada, withdrew his acquiesence.lle declares that the present relations between Ottawa and London, as anderetood 1» Washington, threaten to affect disus- trously the recently improved relations between the United States and Great Bri- tan.The correspondent instances the (layton-Bulwer treaty and says that a pew treaty perfectly satisfactory to both governments has already been rrawn, but Great Pritain now declines to act on it, saying she cannot afford to submit to parliament a new treaty question un- ul the Canadian demands anent Alaska sre satisfied.The \u2018Times, commenting on the foregoing despaich, seys it hopes its corre spondent takes am over gloomy view of the situation.It declines to exhaust its emotions prematurely over a catastrophe which may newer occur.It delicately banters its correspondent on his dos- pondency and declines to promounce a definite opinion on the Canadian-Ameri- can question without fuller knowledge.It says, however: \u2018What is quite obvious from the tone of our correspondents: communication, is that those Americans for whom he speaks do not grasp the nature of our relations with the self-gov- ercing celomies.It is ae much out of itg dwn chief minister and ambesisador thinks reason: able, as it would \u2018be to use -similar, lan- guege of the opimdon of an American state.The Ameyicans cannot expect vs to do what they would never do themselves if they were in our position.They crnnot expect us to ignore the popular will of that portion of the Empire which is primarily affected by the negotiations or to settle the question.\u2019 The \u2018Times\u2019 reminds the Americans that in the dispute with Great Brilain abcut the frontier of Maine the local legislature protested against the award of the umpire and the Senate rejected it though President Jackson would have Joined the British Government.It asks- \u2018Was this un y submission by the Yederal Government to local prejudice?LONDON PRESS COMMENT.London, May 26.\u2014The Foreign Office confirms the statements made by the correspondent of the London \u2018Thmes\u2019 to the effect that the negotiations with the Canadian Government on the subiect of Alaska have reached an almost hopeless stage owing to the insistence of the Canadians that they receive a alice of Alaska, which apparently precludes any agreement being reached on the subject between the United States and Canadian high commissioners.The evening news- Papers here reproduce the New York despatch with comment, generally regretting the situation, but objecting to the conclusions that (Camada is blameable.The \u2018Globe\u2019 says: \u2018The Canadians would be far less patriotic than they are if they yielded to what they consider to be an unjust and indefensible demand for the sake of the establishment of more fnendly relations with their big neighbor\u2019 Continuing, the \u2018Globe\u2019 remarks that the \u2018 Times,\u201d by publishing its correspondent\u2019s unjudicial summing uv, has opted the surest way to inflame pub- ir opinion on both aides of the Atlantic: The \u2018Westminster Gazette\u2019 says: \u2018We \u201crtainly hope a better face can be put on things, so far as we are concerned, but the deadlock seems very serious.\u2019 The \u2018St.Jamee\u2019s Gazette\u2019 thinks Am- Mean politics are playing an important Mr in the situation and says: \u2018The Re- Wblicans are disposed to a friendly ar- \"iigement with England, but it must be o terms go favorable to the United Mates that the Democrats will have no Frise to VE FO\" GUCCEEE à © \u201cDWIGHT.New .Haven, Conn., My.25.\u2014It was officially announced -thas- that Prof.Arthur Twining \u2018Hadley had been elected to succeed

Pavilion, Coney Island, and spread fapidiy until seven blocks of frame buildings had been destroyed.A conservative estimate of the loss places it \u2018at $350,000.Policeman Thomas Lynch and Fireman George | Taggart, and William Aldrich wére painfully but not seriously - buried while rousing the sleeping occupants of seve- _ ral threatened buildings.Richard Downs and Wm, Durkin, 18 and 15 years old respectively, who were asleep in the Zaza .Hotel, were severely burned \u201cabout the body.The police believe the five.was of incendiary origin.When the Fire De.partment reached the beach front, they found a dozen bath houses - burning.They were dry as tinder and the flames destroyed two blocks of it before they were got under control.- \u2019 The rapidity of the fire wag mot to be wondered at considering the charae- ter of the buildings.In one hour after the first puff of smoke gave warning a large square filled with buildings: of all sizes and character, utilized for such purposes as photograph galleries, saloons, dining rooms, dance halls, theatres and the like, were in ruins.SUNDAY CARS FOR OTTAWA.Cttawe, May 26.\u2014The House of Cowm- mons Railway Committee.this morming

by the Fammar, Mar 26, 1899.well sustained at the level lately noted.and country payments as a whole are favorably .reported on.The week has been marked by a rather notable failure in the city lumber trade, but this had been pretty well discounted for some months in interested quarters, and the other five or six failures carry with them litle special weight or significance.The tightness in the money market is unrelaxed, and the banks are all stiii reported as very chary of making call loans at present.The weather keeps very dry for the season, and from different parts of the country complaints are heard that the hay orop is likely to suffer uniess some warm rains come soon.As regards the general markets, the feature of the week is the rupture between the sugar refiners and thw grocers\u2019 guild, due to a lack of harmony as to the best methods of meeting the competition from the American refined sugars, which have apparently been finding a growing sale in this market.A joint meeting held early In the week resulted in nothin mutually agreeable, and the special rebates etc., of late existing have been cancelled, a return being made to the old net cash 14 days terms, on which basis the quotation for standard granulated is now $4.45.Turpentine has finally declined two cents, but the crop 1s still very backward and short.TAere has been some movement to advance the prices of glass, but it fell through owing to the action of one or two houses, who refused to sign the agreement.CHICAGO MARKETS, The following table shows the ran Fai in Chicago to-day, and the pr

INQUIRY.Pilot Bouille Examined Yesterday Afternoon, COMMISSIONERS TO VISIT SCENE OF THE GROUNDING TG MORROW, The inquiry into the cause of the stranding of the \u2018Gallia\u2019 was resumed by the Harber Commissioners yesterday afternoon.Pilot Zepherin Bouillé was the only witness examined, and he testified that the only cause for the vessel grounding, so far as he knew, was the jamming of the steering gear.He had given orders to-put the wheel hard-a-starboard, but the quartermaster had teld him: he could not get it over, because it was jammed.He was told on going aboard that the vessel would not steer well to starboard in the bends, that was, when going fast, but the ship had answered ro well up to the time of reaching the Sorel Jslands Bf difficdlt#\u201d ke the tat 5 there was\u2019 plenty of \u2018room ; he did net consider it a dangerous place ; he considered it was perfectly\u2019 safe, and none of the pilots ever stowed in passing it.To prove this, he predented a letter gigned by sixteen pilots, dated May 24, to the following effect : \u2014 We, the undersigned pilots, have no hesitation iu saying that the passage in the is- Jands of Sorel is not considered dangerous tor steamships of great speed.By Mr.Allan\u2014Only one of.the pilots who had signed this document had ever piloted the \u2018Gallia,\u201d and that was pilot Ulric Groleau.By Mr.Torrance\u2014If he were bringing | up the \u2018Gallia\u2019 to-morrow, knowing what he now did about her, he would not let ber go fast at all.Mr.Torrance\u2014Then it.was simply an error of judgment on your part ?Witness\u2014Having piloted vessels up and : down there so long, I was so sure that all would be right, I considered that it Te perfectly safe to go at the speed 1 By Mr.Hodgson\u2014The captain had told him to go slow at the short curves, but be did not consider the Stone Island bend a short curve.After the ship had grounded, he ascertained that the helm would answer freely.Mr.Thomeon\u2014Then, if the gear was jammed at all, it would only be the action of the water on the rudder ?Witness\u2014I cannot account for it.By the Mayor\u2014He had had an experience of steering gear being rendered unreliable through a piece of cotton waste getting into the machinery, but he did tot know what had happened in this case, Questioned by the president as to his responsibility in a.case of compulsory Pilotage, Captain Stewart stated that his Tsponsibility ceased as soon as the pilot &me aboard.By Mr.Bickerdike\u2014Where the pilotage Yas not compulsory, the pilot would only taken as a local help.Mr.Bickerdike .thereupon asked the President whether the St.Lawrence pilot- âge, under the commissioners\u2019 authority, Fas compulsory or not.The president\u2014So far as the \u2018Gallia\u2019 is foncerned it is compuleory ; in somé cases is not.Mr.Bickerdike\u2014I beg to differ with Mu, Mr.President, as I am certain that otage is hot compulsory ia any case.now that many of the captaine coming ve, and that some of my fellow commis- Foners, are under the impression that Flotage is compuleory, but the fact re- Mains that only the payinent of pilétage fes is compulsory.I know that this des not affect the it case very Much, but, nevertheless, it ought to be Brnerally known.Mr.Allan agreed that only the paying *% compulsory th

owners.\u2019 Mr.Bickerdike\u2014\u2018Notwithetanding the Mayor\u2019s statement, I maintain that compulsory pilotage in the St.Lawrence does not exist.\u2019 Mr.Geoffrion read the law on the point.The clause was headed, \u2018Pilotage not compulsory,\u2019 and it was to the effect that no owner or.master of any ship should in any case be compelled to employ or to give his ship into the charge of a pilot, either on the ground of his being compelled to pay pilotage dues to another person, or otherwise.and moth- ing in the act should exempt master or owner for loss of, or damage to, property by the fault of a licensed pilot or on any other ground.The payment of pilotage dues was compulsory.This concluded the evidence, and the Commissioners decided, before giving their verdict, to visit the scene of the \u2018Gallia\u2019s\u2019 mishap, and it was arranged t4 journey thither by boat, starting a: ten \u2018o'clock to-morrow morning.VICS TO CAMP.MAJOR- GENERAL HUTTON

(Author of \u2018The Rose and Fleur de Lis,\u2019 etc.) CHAPTER IX.\u2014A SUNDAY AT HOME.\u2018There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink.\u2019 When little Octave saw that dead mother the principle.of, life.died within bim, too.1t only took three weeks to slay it, for on his way to her funeral he contracted some desperate throat disease, and nothing kills at the last so quickly as the throat.Thus was Mikel left with the child Magloire, to whom he devoted all the time he could spare, and who grew up in the feudal surroundings of the old Manoir.And looking back upon the result of that education, old Mikel realized afresh on this bright October day that such as the son was, such had the father been.Octave, perhaps, gentle, high-bred, dreamy, religious Octave might have helped him to consummate his ideal, the restoration of the honorable house and estates of Caron, or in like manner Octave\u2019s son; but Mag- loire first, shrewd, grinning, implacable, and narrow, or Magloire the second, alias Mr, Murray Carson; Mikel laughed aloud at the fancy.It was at this moment that Pacifique Péron, who had leapt into the wood when his conversation with Lauridre came to an end, suddenly appeared in a small space that Mikel had now gained, and the two men, taken by surprise, stopped short and exchanged mo very pleasant looks,Pacifique, still ruffled, forgot his politenass.\u2018 Good-day, Caron,\u2019 he said, not removing a small sumach twig he carried between his teeth as he spoke, He also put his arms on his hips, and stared straight before him when he had made the salutation.Mikel was incensed.\u2018 This, then,\u2019 thought he, \u2018is some more of that rascal my grandson's doing.\u2019 \u2018You there, you hunchback! speak properly to me.I am not Caron to anyone else, least of all to you.You must remember better.What are you looking for here?1 rarely meet anyone so far into the middle of the wood.\u201d .Pacifique grew politic, and answered truthfully : .\u2018It will be Magloire that I was seeking, sir.1 thought he might be with you.\u2019 \u2018 But this is not the way to my house;\u2019 said Mikel, gravely.\u2018You have often been there; you know how to find it.It is simple and.sttaight enough, a mile and a quarter from your mother's \u2018cabane,\u201d mostly on the wide highroad, and no need to walk across the forest, frightening the game, upsetting traps.Well, look «that I do not set another trap for another kind of game.\u201cAnd that, sir \u201d inquired Pacifique, spreading out his hands and bowing very low, so that one saw the crown of his queer hat, a large felt hat, with only the rim remaining, and a handkerchief of orange and white plaited instead.\u2018I ask what kind of game ?, \"I will be found,\u2019 said Caron, \u2018make sire of that.The kind does not matter.Sut what will you require of Magloire, by whom, I understand, you mean my grandson, when you meet with hin?I \"ul not thought that he was likely to be a comrade of vours.\u2019 ~ \"And why not \u201d asked Pacifique, try- nz to read the secrets that lay enshrin- -| fields.| lorme\u2019s.MR ES \u2014 ed in those scorching, searching eyes, in the stern and sinister mouth, and in the perturbed and frowning forehead of the venerable trapper.\u2018 Because he, Magloire, is a gentleman, well dréssed, well-shod, well bonneted.{He is, though, self-made, still a young fellow of some wit, education, manner.He has not lived in Bourg-Marie all his life.No.It is easy ta see that.He smokes a big cigar, hes a watch, is a great man; does not, perhaps, any longer care to speak French.English, look you, is so much more convenient.Is not that how he is spoken of in the village ¥ \u2018Truly,\u2019 replied Pacifique.\u2018Well, then,\u2019 said old Mikel, enjoying in a bitter kind of way his own dismal pleasantry, \u2018they can never say that about you.You will live in Bourg-Marie til the end of your days ; you will never see as far as the end of the Lac Calvaire; you will never wear a watch, nor give lectures, nor drink anything more delicate than old Delorme\u2019s whiskey ; you will live and die a habitant, and what is a habitant but a simple fool, and a fool is po companion for my grandson, Mag- loire.You, Pacifique Péron, keep out of his way and stay at home.There is safety at the forge, at the fire, in the Work, and plenty of it, saves eery man.Leave them alone at De- Why should you go there ?You cannot dance.You do not play the fiddle.You ere made to stay at home, do quiet work\u2014women\u2019s work, if you will.There are three widowers, and myself four, in the parish, and the curé often wants help with his wine and his hens.Choose the quiet path, and clear it from the fallen logs, then others will bless you.But, by the good St.Hubert, leave this forest alone in your roamings.I like not to think that there is any one, besides Nicolas Laurière, Joncas and myself, who dares to walk abroad in this wood, where at present are thirty baited bear-trape alone, besides countless other snares for smaller pests.Remember this, hunchback, and so\u2014turn about and walk on in front of me, and quickly.\u2019 The cripple was madly stung, enraged.\u2018Women\u2019s work !\u2019 he yelled.\u2018It will be that you will be thinking of for me ! Women\u2019s work! To cook, did you say, and sweep and mend fires ?Ay, the fires of purgatory ; that place you all believe in, and I, too, for your sake! Because I am crooked\u2014tête-bleu\u2014Caron, I will pass\u2014I will go, whence you have come.I will see what it is you keep there in the forest, hidden away like à miser.I will watch ; I will steal around, gently, quietly ; I will lay my eye to every chink, my ear to every stone; I will run off with it when I find it, be it gold.or wine, or woman\u2014 (To be Continued.) CHILDREN'S CORNER, FINTSHING THE CHAPTER.(Ernest Hartwell, in \u2018Union Signal\u2019) \u201cJust wait till I finish this chapter, then I'l go.\u2019 The words were evidently familiar ones, for the mother sighed as she turned away, 1 It was always the same cry : \u2018I'll do it in a minute,\u2019 or \u2018Just wait till the end of the game, or \u2018Yes, mamma, after a while\u2019 Cyril was fast in the clutches of the tyrant habit of \u2018putting off.\u2019 It was 80 much easier to wait til to-mor- row, and Cyril's to-morrow did not often come\u2014the task usually remained undone, or his mother performed it herself, to save trouble.One evening Cyril's father came home full of a delightful plan.The family had been invited to Grandfather Hammond's beautiful country home, and Cyril was wild with delight ; his favorite boy cousin lived at his grandfather's, and he knew the good times he would have hunting and coasting, with Harry for a companion.He could scarcely wait for the appointed day when he was to meet his father and mother at the station at five o'clock, and start for themcountry.Tuesday came at last.and at four o'clock Cyril was ready to leave the house, but as only twenty minutes were needed to reach the station, be picked up a book to read until it was time to start.: At half-past four he glanced at the clock.\u2018I'll just finish this chapter before I go.\u201d he thought, and went on reading.Ten minutes , and Cyril still bang on the finished chapter and he sprang up, snatched his hat and ran out of the door, his heart wildly beating with fear at the thought of losing the train.Could he make it ?A few minutes later he dashed into the station and\u2014 poor Cyril ! the last car was just pulling out, and with.a puff of smoke the train quickly disappeared round the curve.On it were Cyril's father and mother.She had begged her husband to wait for the child and then take the morning train, but Mr.Hammond was firm.\u201cThe boy has put off starting until too late,\u2019 he said- \u2018That terrible habit of his must be broken.Perhaps one such lesson as this will be enough.\u2019 Two hours later a telegram was hand: ed in to a broken-hearted boy, lying face downward on the bed in his room.\u201cWill be home Sunday evening.Sorry you preferred \u201cfinishing the chanter\u201d to coming with FATHER.But that was the last time that phrase of Cyril's was heard in the Hammond home.BIRTL.E TRIPLETS.FRIDAY, MAY 26.THREE GREAT THINGS FAITH CAN DO.1.It can Bring Christ into the Heart.\u2014That Christ may dwell (settle down, a permanent dweller) in your hearts leaving the little boy buried in his book.read ; fifteen\u2014the book closed with a through faith.A spiritual habitation for Christ.(Eph.iii.,, 17; ii., 22.) With him within, is never to be alone, is to have the best friend, the wisest counsellor, aud the strongest helper.\u2018We will come nnto him, and make our abode with him.\u2019 \u2018Ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you.(Jno.xiv., 23.) Christ is wanting to enter every heart.(Rev.iii, 20.) What joy when the soul opens io let Him in.\u2018We will be glad and rejoice in Thee.\u2019 (Cant.i., 4.) 2.It Can Bring the Power of God Into the Life.\u2014By the power of (od are we kept (guarded) through faith.(I.Peter i., 5.) The word is a military one.The idea is that of soldiers surrounding us for our safety.All the powers of evil can never break through the power of God; and our faith secures the constant exercise of this power.The Christian has so many strong and vigilant foes, within and without, that he needs a constant, watchful and sirong protection, and he has it so long as his faith is operative.Read Ps.xci, 11; Isa.xxvii, 3; Ps.exxv, 1.3.It Can Overcome the World \u2014This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.(I.Jno.v., 4, 5) The world here means the present order of things in its relation to the fallen, Adam.Over it the believer is a victor through hig faith in the Lord Jesus.Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world, (the world-ruler, Satan).(I.Jno.iv, 4.) They are not of the world even as I am not of the warld.(Jno.xvii, 16.) Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.(Jno.xvi, 33.) Conformity to the world will never meke a man a conqueror over it.As faith weakens, the world gets a stronger hold.ed The Holy Ghost in the uplifting of our souls will teach us the full significance of our union with Christ.Christ is for us in His propitiation.He is with us by His promises, but He is in us, and that 1s the final mystery.You remember the sneer about Christians who talked of God as if He were a person in the next street.We are lost if He is no nearer than the next street, lost if He is not nearer than the nearest, nearer than the atmosphere we breathe.\u2018For God is never so far off As even to be near, He is within.Our spirit is The home He holds most dear.To think of Him as by our side Is almost as untrue As to remove His shrine beyond Those skies of starry blue.So all the while I thought myself Homeless, forlorn and weary, Missing my joy, I walked the earth, Myself God's sanctuary.\u2019 further stage in the uplift of the soul\u2014 Rev.Robertson Nicoll, - * ' ADVERTISEMENTS.THE DANGEROUS KNIFE.CANCER ROOTS cannot be removed by operation, or by agonising plastsrs.They only give temporary relief, and in most cases the diseases returns in a worse form.We would be glad to send particulars of a painless method, which leading physicians are now adopting.The cures are remarka.ble.W.M.STOTT & JURY, Bowmanville, Ont, Hands and Arms Covered with Salt Rheum.No rest night or day for those afflicted with that terrible skin disease, Salt Rheum, or, as it is often called\u2014Eczema.able burning, itching, tor-, turing night and day, re- liefis gladly: welcomed.There is no remedy like Burdock such sufferers.Apply it externally and it takes out the stinging, itching and burning and promotes healthy healing.\" Take it internally according to directions and it gets at the source of the disease in the blood and completely and permanently drives it out of the system.Hundreds of permanent cures of this severe skin disease by B.B.B.have been reported to us during the past year, .One of these is that of D.A.McLellan, Pelee Island North, Ont., which is as follows : \u2018\u2018I wish to bear testimony to the good I have received from Burdock Blood Bitters.\u2018\u201c About 8 years ago I was troubled with Salt Rbeum.\u2018My hands and arms were covered with sores to the shoulders.\u20181 took three bottles of B.B.B.and it made such a complete cure that I have never been troubled with that disease GAD PSR Ard Arr PRB rf since.\u201d ray If this truth is interpreted to us, it is al] Withits unbear- |.Blood Bitters for giving relief to| AVegetable Preparation for Assimilating theFood and Regula- King the Stomachs and Bowels of Promotes Digestion,Cheerfulness and Rest.Contains neither Dpun Morphine nor Mineral.OT NARCOTIC.ApetfectRemedy for Consti Ho Sout Stomach.Diarrhoea, Worms Convulsions, Feverishness and LOSS OF SLEEP.FacSimile Signature of NEW YORK.ECE TL EN TTR (f 135 Doses =35CENTS [i ADVERTISEMENTS.SEE THAT THE FAC-SIMILE SIGNATURE OF \u2014 IS ON THE WRAPPER OF EVERY BOTTLE OF (CASTORIA Oastorls is put up in one-slse bottles only.It = is not sold in bulk.Don't allow anyone to sell BA you anything else on the ples or promise that it is \u201cjust as good\" and \u201cwill answer every purpose.\u201d AF Seo that you get 0-A-8-T-0-B-I-A, The facsimile eon signature aE pe of , .: - Vrapper, THERE IS BOVRIL\u2014 Always the same, always to be relied upon.Prescribed by Medical Men Throughout the World.ONLY ONE 9 READABLE PARAGRAPHS A DELICATE PLEA.\u2018Father,\u2019 said the boy, who was looking pensively at the sunshine and luxuriant, foliage which told of approaching June.\u2018What is It?\u2018Where do you suppose Gen.Funston, would be to-day if his father had punished him so that was afraid to goin swimming ?'\u2014Chicago \u2018Record.\u2019 NE PROFESSIONAL JEALOUSY.\u2018My horse has reasoning powers, I tel} you.\u2019 \u2018In what respect particularly?\u2019 \u2018Well, instead of shying at that automobile cab he edged up to it and kicked it.'\u2014 Chicago \u2018Record.THE PEOPLE'S REMEDY\u2014\"BROMA.\" Invariably cures all the ills induced by a tad state of the blood, or by weakened nerves.Pleasant to the taste, moderate price, effects guaranteed, permanent cure.For sale everywhere, .Beware, accept no substitute.26 Young Housewife ( to obliging friend)\u2014 \u2018Did you teil the butcher to send me a leg of mutton?\u2019 Obliging Friend\u2014'Yes, dear;

Lord Bishop of Quebec, as rector of St.Matthew\u2019s Church, here.Dr.J.Dunbar, Q.C,., Chancellor, presented the keys of the church #40 the new rector, and an appropriate sermon was preach- | ed by the Rev.Dr.Dumbell, rector of | Sherbrooke, After the induction the \u2018 congregation gathered in the church hall | where an address and a valuable cabinet of silver plate wus presented as a token of respect to the retiring rector, the Rev.| Mr.Williams, who returned a very touching reply.THE ANCIENT CAPITAL.Quebec, May 26.\u2014A servant girl was arrested yesterday, charged with the theft of a valuable diamond ring.from one of Quebec\u2019s leading families.i A Levis hackman named Bolduc, was found dead, in his bed, yesterday morn-, ing.The next Bar examinations are fixed for July 3, at Quebec.Large numbers of American anglers are now passing through here daily, on | the way to the trout lakes and salmon rivers north and east of Quebec.PTE.STOPPELBEN, BELIEVED THAT HE HAS BEEN | DROWNED.\u2014_ Quebec, May 26.\u2014There is hardly any! doubt that Private Stoppelben, of the 8th | Royal Rifles, has been drowned on the way back from Montreal.No trace of\u2019 him can be found, and the inevitable | conclusion is that he fell overboard.After leaving Montreal, it was noticed that he | was ill.He was seen several times | during the night at the bow of the boat : and told to go to his berth, to which he was finally taken at one o'clock in the morning.After that he was not seen by any one.He must have got up and returned to the bow of the boat, where he fell overboard.He was the owner of a city express, and resided with his widowed mother, of whom he was the sole support.RIOTING IN GUADELOUPE.London, May 26.\u2014Advices received here from Guadeloupe, the French West Indian end of the Leeward group, report a recurrence of serious rioting between the native population and British contract labor immigrants which culminated in the recent fire.Continuous fierce fight ing is said to have taken place on the plantations and the police and military, it appears, cannot suppress the disturbance.Several fatalities are reported.As a result the British consul there has ap- peated to Great Britain for that protection for British subjects which the local government is seemingly unable to afford.NIPISSING & JAMES'S BAY RAIL WAY.Ottawa, May 26.\u2014At this morning's meeting of the Railway Committee of the House of Commons the bill to revive the charter of the Nipissing & James's Bay Railway Company was reported.The company will have one year to begin and to complete the first section of #s road and five years to complete the whole line.TRIPLE LYNCHING IN TEXAS.Houston, Texas, May 26.\u2014A telephone message from Bazzotte eays that Jim Humphreys and his two sons have been found hanging to a limb of a tree.The Humphreys lived two miles west of Athens.Details of the triple lynching cannot be obtained at present.FENIAN RAID MEDALS, SARCASM OF A LONDON JOURNAL ON THE MILITARY AUTHORITIES.(London \u2018Truth May 11, 1899.) The various officers and men who have been led to expect the Canadian medal are getting somewhat impatient on the subject, and I have received one or two inquiries about it.Considering, however, that it took our military authori ties thirty years or so to decide upon issuing this medal.it seems only reuson- able that they ebould be allowed a few more years to complete the next stage of the operation.One is sorry, of course, for those who may die in the interval, but.after all, they are a small number compared with those who died between the date when the medal was earned and the date when it was awarded.-\u2014 DROWNED IN A WELL.Montgomery, Minn, May 25\u2014Mra.Frank Glass and her four-year-old son lost their lives yesterday in a well.The child accidentally fell in and was drowned.Mrs.Glass jumped into the well \u2018n an effort to save her boy, and was also drowned.EX-PRESIDENT HARRIS IN PARIS.Paris, May 26.\u2014Former President Ben- legal representative of Venezuela on the boundary commission, which mects here on June 15, has arrived in this city.\u2014 DISASTROUS FIRE IN RUSSIA.St.Petersburg, May 26.\u2014A hundred houses have been destroyed by fire during a heavy gale at Kerensk, in the government of Penza.There is great suffering among the homeless victims of the !

24.\u2014Bisbop Mor- et and five French clergymen, bound from Hong Kong to Rome, who sought to break their journey across the continent, after landing at Vancouver a few days ago, by spending a couple of days in the Canadian National Park at this point, were rescued this morning from a perilous position in a mountain crevice.Yesterday morning, at seven o'clock, they started, without guides, to make the ascent of Julphur Mountain and loet their way.To-day they owe their lives to the sagacity and experience of Swiss guides, recently introduced by the authorities to look after the welfare of travellers and hunting parties visiting the Canadian Rockies.The bishop and his party were mot miesed from the hotel until ten o'clock last night, and the erintendent, the latter directed the Alpine guides to at once mekeé a .Armed with lanterns and alpensiocks, the guides departed on their mission.After a night of tedious tramping among the pines of the mountain side they were rewarded by hearing their echoing calls answered from a slight crevice in the rock, into which a false step had precipitated the party.Though the crevice was but twenty feet deep, the clergymen \u2018 found themselves unable to gain the ledge, from which they had slipped.Ropes were lowered by the guides and the rescue from their perilous position was quickly made.The previous afternoon and night had been -spent in the erevice, nineteen hundred feet from the foot®of the mountain, the height of which is 7,000 feet and clothed with a pine forest.Bishop Moret, who has travelled much, declared that he snd his party had almost abandoned all hope of rescue, CHINA DEFIED.RUSSIAN ENGINEERS TO SURVEY A RAILWAY ROUTE TO PEKIN.Sre\u2014 Pekin, May 24.\u2014The Russian Minister here, M.de Giers, has notified

body of evidence offered before the Court of Cassation that Esterhazy is guilty of the crime for which Dreyfus is\u2018 being punished.Among the points made is the fact that while Col.Panizzardi and Col.Schwartzkoppen, of the Italian and German legations in Paris at the time Dreyfus was condemned, never ceased to affirm his innocenee, they kept silent concerning Esterhazy.The \u2018Aurora\u2019

the examination and its results ought to fill any man with gratitude to God.\u2018We often hear it argued that God cannot be Love or He would not permit His creatures to be undeservedly deprived of the organs of utterance, of hearing and of sight.The problem is a deep one, not to be entirely solved on this side, but if you want tô reduce it to a minimum go to the Mackay Institution and meditate upon what you see and hear.You will see for yourself that the deaf and dumb and blind can be happy.You will remember that but for their deprivation, Christian sympathy would not have been touched, Christian love would not have flowed in channels of affection and help, and Christian wisdom and genius would not have devised and perfect ed the wonderful system of instruction which is there practiced.\u2019 Rev.Drs.Mackay and Williams accompanied the Rev.Principal Hackett on the visit referred to, the occasion being the annual examination.They found that questions in regard to prominent perpong and events in Holy Scripture were readily answered.Most intelligent accounts of Dreyfus and the Doukhobors, and recent circumstances were written on the board.and the pupils weré \u2018also tested in arithmetic and geography.A pleasant sight was the kindergarten elase, which had not long been formed, and was taught by the German method, but which showed itself admirably suited to develop the \u2018intelligence of the childrens was the exhibition of articulation pupils taught by the Melville Bell system.Certain signs are written upon the board representing the modes of vocal sounds \u2018sound can be at once and accurately produced.- ., The .carpentering, shoemaking and printing departments were also examined, [and the -examiners were pleased to observe the degree of skill attained.Most of the wooden furniture in the building is the work of the pupils\u2014they do all their own printing, and the printing establishment has been patronized by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company.Hackett writes, \u2018with the skill and tact and patience with which the superintendent, Mrs.Ashcroft, and her competent assistants conduct the institution.As for Mrs.Ashcroft herself, she appears to have simply a genius for that most trying and difficult labor of love.Such work should never lack the sympathy and help of the Christian world.and we were thankful to know that no financial pinch was felt.It would, indeed, be a blot to thie Christian Church in Montreal if an inetitûtion like the Mackay should ever come to lack means or support.\u2019 THE SAILORS\u2019 INSTITUTE.There was a large attendance of both sailors and citizens at the usual weekly concert at the Montreal Sailors\u2019 Insti- .tute, which took place on Tuesday evening.The, programme included vocal and instrumental solos, comic sketches, recitations, eté.Thb ladies and gentlemen who contributed their services included Mrs.A Murphy, Mies.Ethel ] Kenyon, and.the following sailors from.the ships in port:\u2014Mesers.J.Smith, A.A.Drew, and J.Morrison.\u2018God Bave the Queen,\u2019 heartily sung by -the perfarmers and aulience, closed the entertainment.CATHOLIC SAILORS\u2019 CLUB.An excellent programme was rendered on Wednesday evening at the Catholic Sailors\u2019 Club at the usual weekly concert.As it was the Queen's Birthday the National Anthem, sung by everyone present, opened.the entertainment.The following ladies and gentle- mn took part in the concert: - Miss Tootsie Durand, Mies Morrow, Miss Donaldson, and Messrs.Hodge, Harmburg, Coffing, Vermont, Marshall, and Kelly, dnd \u201cFT.Hogan, and also the following\u2019 seamen, Messrs.Simpson, Smith;

while the temperance people were proportionately delighted to hear him come out emphatically and flatfooted in favor of maintaining the Sentt act in Brome county.Mr.Fisher said that the occasion and opportunity to declare himself in connection witis this campaign had seemed so important to him that he had taken à day from his duties at Ottawe at a' spe cially busy time in order to lay before the electors of Brome his ideas in regard to the present question agitating the minds of the people of Brome.He referred to the fact that it is now nearly a quarter of a century since this county had been under local dption.His first vote after coming into the county had been in favor of the Bunkin act in 1873 er last Tong at the capital.| ciples were well known end no-ane laugh- e| ed at trim for thém.- In fact he-vas-all carrying on the.campaign by fair and square arguments on the benefit of maintaining the act in force.We are a free people and that freedom carries with it the right to govern ourselves.We in Canada \u2018enjoy great pri- have never had to fight for.They came down to us from former times god were obtained for us by our ancestors.One, of these consists in our right of self.government.That privilege carries \u201cith it the necessity of rule by majority.We must live up to and under the law, and if the majority rules we must try to se cure the majority to the side which we believe to be right and best.The minister drew attention to the difficulty of enforcihg a law which is not endorsed by the people.And if it is not enforced it is derided.He seid that the simple passage of a law cannot to the point where it will be possible to make the law respected, and enforce it.In the opinion of men of great political the simple passage of à law not, sufficient « oy y ;

It was better for ourselves.It was better for the young people of this county who had been.brought up without seeing the evil effects of the liquor traffic.It would be a good example for the people of Canada who voint to Brome County with pride as an example of how temperance legislation can be maintsined and enforced.He felt that it was his duty.to come here to-day and do what he could to help maintain it.the voting, Mr.Fisher spied that be garding the date of the voté: .He had invariably replied that there was certain matters.of lew and routine to be conformed with and that these could not be changed to suit the convenience of one side or the other.en it was necessary to.8 Scott, Secretary of State, had informed hira- that the vote could be brought on about the middle of June, he (Mr.Fisher) was plensed for he thought the time would be very acceptable to the people of Brome County.The twentieth day of the month had accordingly been set.The honorable gentleman said that it geve him great pleasure to know that there was no political question af issue in the present contest.(Hear, hear; and applause.) Men of opposite shaden: of opinion can come together, and do come together, in support of the cause of tem- perancé and stand shoulder to shoulder in support of their pesition.This had always heen the case in Brome connty.Mr.Fisher declared that while he would like to see.every one take the same view as himzelf on the question, be- catge hé believed it was the only right one, yet if some of his friends and neighbors thought differently from himself they had a perfect right to do so.One side had as much right to its opinions as) the other.Tet us use our arguments, seid the spesker.to the extent of our abilitv and win if we can.THE DANGERS OF REPEAL.principiés.In Oltews therd: are: many total abstainers, and.this is taken.as a matter of course, or, if it is made the subject of remark it is only as a matter of congratulation amd many men not abstainers openly confess their wish that they could be.He wmerely alluded to this as an instance of the great change that has come over society on this question in Canada and in other countries also.In Canada this temperance sentiment bas spread with greater rapidity than elgewhere.Of all the Anglo-Saxon people Canadians consume the least liquor per capita of population.He said An- glo-Saxon peoples, because there are other nations where \u2018the evils of drink are not known et all, and are therefore even ahead of us, though away behind in civilization.\u2019 .The speaker thought that Canadians should be themkful for the position they take on this question, but not to be satisfied with it.The agitation and education should continue.There should be Do relaxation of effort if we are to'continue to progress in the same direction.NEED FOR HARD WORK.\u2018 This gsthering,\u2019 continued Mr.Fisher, \u2018 being, as it is, representative of the county, shows that ite strength and backbone are interested in this campaign and are ready to stand up for the views they hold\u201d He warned the temperance le that indifference and negligence ow > #8 contest as in go to vote unless urged.He had heard it suggestéd that a man who does not vote should be disfranchised.Certainly a man ought to have a good excuse for not voting.Reeponsibility goes with the right to vote, and with that respon- gibility resting upon him no man ought to stay at home.It behooves the temperance organizers to be systematic in their procedure, and to get out the whole l vote, to work with determination.and order that the act may not be defeated.He warned them that the other side would work hard .in this campeign.He advocated having plenty of meetings, and said that the temperance sentiment existing in Canada\u2019to-day is due to the constant discussion and preechings and education on the evils of drink and the benefits to be derived by prohibition.He thought- that the evils of intemperance should be depicted as the present generation has grown up without knowing much about these evils and is consequently not guarded against them.EYES ON BROME.oT It would be difficult to imagine a greät- \u2018er blow to the temperance cause in Canto license: \u2018When be goes about in the | several proviness; he always heard Brome spoken of as the prohibition county.It is known and designated by that name.Mr.Fisher showed that where local cp- tion has been longest in force there temperance sentiment is strongest.The.whole Province of Prince Edward Island, | with the exception of the city of Charlottetown, is under local option.In New Brunswick and Nove Scotia it prevails.Although the Scott Act does not continue in force.in any county in Ontario, the strong temperance sentiment there is largely the result of the act when it was in force in many counties.Mr.Fisher admitted that the Scott Act bad imperfections, but claimed that, notwithstanding these, the county had derived great benefit from it.No doubt there is some friction caused by its enforcement, but it has been of use.and he warned the people that if they allow it to be defeated mow it will be a long time before they will be able to get # back.It would be harder to get rid of the licenses than to maintain the act in force.Mr.Fisher explained that the nature of his duties at Ottawa at the present time are such that he will be unable to take an active part in the campaign, but he would get away at least on June 20 to come and cast his vote in favor of the act.The announcement was greeted with.applause.- , OTHER SPEAKERS.Some other speakers were the Rev.DT.Cummings, the Rev.E.P.Judge, the Rev.I.Nelson, and the Rev.A.E.San- derson.The latter moved \u2018a vote of thanks to Mr.Fisher, which was seconded by Dr.Tucker, of Sutton, who congratulated the electors of Brome upon the very straightforward manner in which the member for the county had expressed himself, In response to the vote of thanks, which was heartily carried, Mr.Fisher said he did not know why there should have been any doubt as to what his views would be in the contest.He was im the habit of expressing himself plainly\u2019 and clearly, and he did so now, because it was his duty as a private citizen \u2018end as the member for the county.= The meeting seemed to be well pleased with Mr.Fisher's speech, which was not a long one.His position in regard \"to the Scott Act is unmistakable, and\" it only remains for the temperance people CASTELAR DEAD.Greatest

of the Cabinet immediately telegraphed condolences to the family.The body will be embalmed, brought here and placed in a chapelle ardente, and the Chamber, of Deputies will give the deceased a public funeral.Emilio Castelar was born at Cadiz in 1832.His father is \u2018described as a man of business, which, in the Spain of sixty years ago, implied that the future republican leader was not born a gentleman.\u2018His career, says a recent bi , Was shaped to a considerable extent by the fact that he issued from the class which id least wedded to the ancient ways, and from the part of Spain which

accessible to the outer world.It was the home of the famous Cortes which drafted the constitution of 1812, \u2018and the.Spanish liberalism of the nineteénth century has had its headquasr- tery there.The elder Castelar was a strong Liberal, and at ore time secretary to the revolutionary junta, but he \u2018escaped.the vengeance wréaked by\" Ferii- pand.VÎL.upôn those who had imprisoned him.\u2018He died while his eoù was a boy,.of whereupon $he \u201cmother took Ber children from Cadiz and established.herself at Elda, a village in Mur- ia, the most Africanized portion of the Spanish péninsula.From Elda, the boy Emilio went.to school at Alicante, whence, at the age of 16, and in 1848; he proceeded to Madrid, presumably destined to complete his education at the university and to become a lawyer.As a matter of fact, he became a journalist and pemdined unknown beyond a small circlé \u2018of friends and colleagues until 1854, when, .at the age of 22, he awoke one morning to find himself famous as an orator.: A meeting at the Teatro del Oriente in Madrid supplied the opportunity.The occasion was a military uprising under Gen.Dulce against one of the un-| stable ministries which followed the downfall of Narvaez in 1851.At the meeting in the theatre there had been an abundant consumption of eloguence, and the satiated audience was beginning to disperse.| Caatelar had sat silent while his elders were speaking, but now he sprang to his feet.The audience was first arrested, then drawn back.When Castelar eat down he had taken his place as the most popular orator \u2018of the day.As a reward for his lectures on civilization .Don Emilio became professor of the philosophy of history in the University of Madrid.He used his chair 4s a convenient tribune for the teaching.of hig doctrines, and, in the meantime, continued: to busy himself with newspaper pol emics.For nearly ten years, or down.te be of exceedingly Little bs movement of 1854 had thrown all power, for the time, into.the hands of soldiers.The advance of Spain, however, in material prosperity was great ; internal order was maintained, and the national pride was gratified by a decently conducted war \u2018against Morocco in 1859.QUEEN ISABEL\u2019S OVERTHROW.Queen Isabel II.was largely respon- gible for the sordid collapse of the monarchy in 1866.By 1865 a crisis was manifestly at hand.The state was bankrupt, and the finance ministers were engaged in an unbroken series of unsuccessful expedients to find money.At this juncture the Queen made an offer to assist the treasury by resigning the property of the Crown on consideration that she was to retain 25 percent of the prices realized at the sale.Castelar made the offer a pretext for a violent attack upon the Queen in his paper, \u2018La Democracia,\u2019 asserting that the so-called sacrifice proposed by the Crown would be, in fact, little better than a swindle, as the Crown lands really belonged to the nation.He was at once punished by forcible removal from his chair in the University of Madrid.Pon Emilio immediately became a hero, and, when the rector of the univer- for May 30.In \u2018his.opinion those opposed to.the Doro ba et

demically,\u201d that is, to punish him qua professor for acts done qua journalist, the rector, too, was dismissed and also became a hero.Presently, when Nar vaez made way for O'Donnell, both the rector and the professor were allowed to resunie their places.Insubordination now began to spread in the army.The first sign of the approaching revolution was the pronuncia- mento of Don Juan Prim, at Aranjuez, in January, 1866.Prim was the son of a Catalan butcher, who bad risen in the | army to the rank of general because he undoubtedly possessed the essential military virtue of personal courage in an eminent degree, and proved it during the war with Morocco in 1859.His first venture, in January, 1866, was a failure.He attempted to head a rising in favor of the Progresista party, but was only joined by a handful of cavalry.Finding that the coup had failed, Prim fled in bot haste to Portugal, and thence to France, where he became the lion of the boulevards.A much more serious mili- tery rising followed in June of the same year.This explosion came from an unexpected Quarter, the scientific corps of the Spanish army, comprising the engineers and artillerymen, who had generally held themselves aloof from pronun- ciamentos.The movement was not headed by the officers, but was a military mutiny in the strict sense of the word.At the same time the complicity of the resistas in the conspiracy was made manifest.O'Donnell behaved with great energy, but for an hour or two it was doubtful whether the disorder would not spread throughout the garrison.Mad it done so, it is certain that the revolution of September, 1868, would have been ante-dated by two years.The 1nutineers said to have been killed before the barracks were stormed.In this rising Cas- telar had taken a sufficiently active part to make it advisable for him to get beyond the reach of O'Donnell, and he accordingly retired to France.His exile lasted for two years, from midsummer of 1868 till the autumn of 1868.A DICTATORSHIP ESTABLISHED.The ships of the home squadron, under Admiral Topete, rose in revolt in September, 1868, and the movement spread over Spain with the utmost rapidity.Under the leadership of Prim, the troops in the South followed the navy\u2019s example and pronounced against the dynasty.The royal government went down like a house of cards, and the Queen, accompanied by her children, fled into France.In the provisional government established at Madrid, Serrano received the ornamental post of protector, while Prim took the substance of power, in the shape of the War Office and the presidency of the Council of Ministers.Castelar was elected & member for Saragossa, of the Constituent ueras, Pi y Margall aud others, were republicans.Don Juan Prim, on the other hand, knew well that the federal republic, which looked so feasible to Cas- telar and his fellow professors and journalists, would mean anarchy in Spain, and, moreover, give grave offence to Napoleon ITI., who could embarrass if not ruin him.He determined, accordingly, to set up a king, in order to be viceroy over him.Castelar then made the humiliating discovery that nowhere is the human word of so little effect as in a legislative chamber, and the great majority of the Radicals in the Cortes gave Prim steady support throughout 1869 and 1670 in his king-making projects.After the withdrawal of the Hohenzollern candidature, which provoked the war of 1870, between France\u201d and Germany, Prim\u2019s choice fell on Don Amadeo, Duke of Aosta, a son of King Victor Emanuel, Prim did not live, however, to see his candidate crowned.When the Duke of Aosta reached Carthagena, the first news he received was the report of the murder of the Spanish Warwick.During the reign of Amadeo, which days of 1873, the Carlist revolt did not reach the height which it attained during the subsequent anarchy of the re-| \u2018public.© CASTELAR IN FOWER.The first step after the pesignation of the.crown by the Duke.of Aosta was to minister.His Republican friends, Sal- \u2018meron, Figueras, and Pi-y Margell, held other offices in the cabinet, and the remainder were filled by Constitutional- \u2018ists, as the previous supporters of Ama- deo had been called.Castelar has since made the naive confession that a political doctrine is subject to a severe test when its partisans are suddenly called to put it into practice.The history of the Federal republic in Spain illustrates the truth of the saying.The usual fate of Spanish parties overtook the Federal Republicans as soon as they were in power.They split into factions and proved incompetent to deal with the Carlists or contrèl the army, What hes been called the dictatorship .of Castelar lasted for some four months, during which period he threw most of the doctrines which he had advocated for twenty years to the winds.Under the circumstances he could not well complain when he himself was ultimately thtown aside by the.country.The eleven months from February, 1873, to the first days of January, 1874, constituted Castelar\u2019s official life at the time.He was expelled from office by the lasted from, the end of 1870, till the first |

buried in ridicule.Yet the fact \u2026 that Castelar went back to the very modest flat which he shared with | sister; to his Jectures, for he had never ceased to hold the chair of philoeniy of history in the University of Mad: 4 \u2018ment of no small measure of respe | The explanation of this seeming parada is to be found in the course which je i has since followed.That he has earr-; i respect, and not ridicule, is due to } « success in convincing bis countrimen 1 à honesty.Castelar, in fact, raised th.level of what was expected from Spanish politicians, and thereby did his country ro contemptible service.During the war with the United States he maintained a quiet, patroti- attitude.He was returned to t'e Certes at the late election, but it was by a small majority, which caused him to intimate that he would not take an active part in politics.THE INDIANTOWN FIRE LOSS ESTIMATED AT NEARLY HALF A MILLION DOLLARS.St.John, N.B.,, May 28.\u2014It took the whole city fire department six bours to quell the fire in Indiantown yesterday.All the large stores in the square at the foot of Indiantown and for some dis: tance up Main street were burned, but the fire was stopped below the streets railway car sheds, which were threatened for a time.All the cars were hauled over to the city for safety, and the service suspended all along the line.The wind was strong, blowing at times a stiff gale, which swept the flames up the hillsides from the river, and along the rising ground which constitutes that part of the city.I A rough estimate places the number of buildings burned af 200, and the total loss at almost half a million dollars.Some residences at the foot of Indian- town were valuable homesteads, well furnished and most comfortable.These were all destroyed.There were two fatalities.Miss Cunard, sister-in-law of Dr.McClary, was burned to death in her house, refusing to leave when urged to do so.She was 80 years old.Mrs.Mowery, also en aged lady, and an invalid, died of shock just as the fire broke out.The chief buildings destroyed were :\u2014 Store and warehouses of the J.W.Mc- Clary Company, with heavy stock; store and house oceupied by John McCann,

to land Jameengers on the opposite side of the river, their warehouses and landing stages being in flames.Passengers were then ferried over to the city.For some unexplained cause the wster supply was low when the fire started and that gave it a headway it would not have otherwise attained.Bridge street suffered most, about a hondred houses being destroyed in that street, mostly the cheaper sort of wooden dwellings.\u2019 The insurance companies were not very heavily affected.The losses are: Guardian .\u2026 +.» oo $1,394 Queen .+.el se ee \u2026.4,000 Central .«ou .318 Livergoo! & Londôn &
