\u2018 Hurona.\u2019 The SS.\u2018Iona\u2019 left port this morning, and ou board were two hundred tons of hay for use in the Transvaal, and her work as detailed before sailing was firet to proceed to London, and after discharging some cargo to go -thence to Italy, where she would take on board one hundred mules for special pack service in the South African campaign.Some of the Leyland line boats from Boston have been chartered, and some of the Montreal boats will be called upon to replace them there.The steamers \u2018Manchester Port\u2019 and the \u2018 Maplemore,\u2019 of the Furness, Withy and Johnston lines respectively,have been employed for similar work and it is now a matter of great importance to the closing trade to get other steamers to take out the freight.It was stated at the Dominion Line office that none of their boats had us yet been taken.THREEPENNY TELEGRAMS.London, Oct.10.\u2014It is reported that the Postmaster-General is considering the \u2018feasbility of

meeting of the Local Council of Women and mem- the: parlors of the Y.W.C.A.building yesterday afternoon for the purpose of explaining and promoting the work of the \u2018National Home-reading Union.\u201d Mrs.Robert Reid presided and several excel-4 lent addresses were given.This union has been in existence zleven years and the Canadian branch has been in operation during live seasons, Particulars concerning the reading course \u2018just commencing or regarding organization will be supplied by the secretary of the Canadian branch, Miss Viola Kerry, No.149 Durocher street, Montreal, a summary of which was recently given in the columns of the \u2018Witness.\u2019 Previous to the addresses Miss Reid, recording secretary, read the minutes of the last meeting, and Mrs.Walton gave an outline of the work it was proposed to take up during the coming winter months.It was the intention of the council, Mrs.Walton said, to concentrate iteelf this winter upon a few special lines of work.These lines broadly speaking might be comprised under three beads, viz.: Philanthropy, hygiene and education.Philanthropy will be sub-di- vided into (1) immigration; (2) materni- sider the

would.not advise toormuch solid reading or hard study for the ordinary individual.Such reading should be liberally alternated with the mental tension relieved, by lighter classes of literature, such as romance or poetry, which would stimulate healthy imagination.which provided practical knowledge or recreation.Some people wanted to know everything, while others were content with the narrow ideas of the middle ages.There were extremes.He would advive an attempt to master only one or two subjects.- Reading should develon to]- eration and liberality of view and should = + good books.unite rather

but of gettin a standard that would be useiy] and creditable.Many eminent, mn could trace their greatness to the influence .# He approved heartily 0! the proposed union.Mrs.George E.Drummond, wha alr) addressed the meeting upon the sutbjent of books and reading, after referTing to the advantages and benefits to be derived from connection with an organizatian of the nature of the National Home Reading Union, said :\u2014 \u2018It is my most solemn convi one of the greatest needs he un and women to-day is to read, and thu not so much because of the information to be derived from books, \u201cuseful infor mation\u201d being available from many other sources, as because the habit of reading does more than anything else to steady and compose the mind, and to save us, body and soul, from that devour | ing restlessness so characteristic of our time.We live in an age of extmor- dinary movement and activity of mate rial progress, of social change and amc.Lioration, let us live with our time and be proud of it, but let us not he swept off our feet by the great impulsion.Jet us possess our own souls.Let us Tecog- nize and guard against, the special temptation of our time\u2014\u2018-the temptation\u201d pe has been said \u2018to impoverish life at ys centre for the sake of its ever widening cirenmference.\u201d \u2018 To overcome this ever present tempta- tation is no easy task, for any of us\u2014 men or women.There are the ceaseless outer calls.Business claims most men from morning till the late afternoon : then there must be some time for physical exercise and for social intercourse and relaxation, and in the brief moments that are left they are too tired, they say, for anything but a glance through the newpaper or the magazine article.\u2019 Mrs.Drummond\u2019s address was received with the greatest enthusiasm.Miss Skelton gave an interesting talk on the aims and methods of the union, and instanced several towns where it was in successful operation.At the conclusion of the meeting delegates were appointed to represent the Local Council of Women at the National Council, which is to be held in Hamil ton, from Oct.19 to 26.The following four ladies were named : Mrs.John McDougall, Mrs.Meldola de Sola, Mrs, Robert Reid and Mrs.J.F.Stevenson.Mr, Walton Moved a vote of thanks to the spédkers, which was heartily supported.It should bge noted that members of the union as 5 as of all the other affiliated societies are by virtue of th eir membership, also members of the Local Council of Women.FURNITURE SYNDICATE.MILLION DOLLARS\u2019

time ago referred to the sale of liquor in camps of militia instruction in Canada, touching more particularly upon the camp of No.1 dis trict thi Th tter \u2018was taken | ct in this city.\u20ac ma | stitute was fifty., During the past year up by the local branch-of the W.C.T.U., and the attention of Major-Gengral Hii.| ton and the Militia Department was drawn to this flagrant violation of the regulations and orders \u2018of the Canadian branch of the sérvice.The commander- in-chief of the forces gave a flat \u2018denial to the assertions made by the W.C.T.U.and stated most emphatically that no intoxicating beverages in any form were permitted to be solid at the London camp last May.An article in a recent issue.of the \u2018Christian Guardian,\u201d in which the statement \u2018is made that the evidence forwarded to Ottawa by the W.C.T.U.was \u2018sufficiently serious.and conclusive to call for immediate and careful investigation,\u2019 has produced new and \u2018interesting information from the headquarters staff; if the latter hdve been :cuorted correutly their explana- | tion is so inconsistent as to give rise to thé suspicion that they are endeavoring to evade the real charge.They state that the departmnt has decidéd that an enquiry is unnecessary because the evidence, so called, of liquor having been sold on the London camp grounde, is of the flimsiest character, being chiefly hearsay; and in the same breath they hasten to add that it would be utterly impossible to enforce absolute prohibition in a militia camp, and that a well-regu- lated canteen is far better than a system of prohibition, which would encourage the establishment of a number of unlicensed groggeriss on the outskirts of the camps.Leaving aside the question of the good or \u2018evil arising out of the canteen in the army, the \u2018News\u2019 wishes to reiterate that the regutation and orders governing the an militia were openly and glaringly violated in the district camp of instruction at London last summer; and if Major-General Hutton is sincere in hie protestations that the offence was committed without his knowledge, he should be sent ¢ ome\u2019 for treatment of his @yes.The \u2018News\u2019 makes the statement, and is prepared to back it up, that every battalion in camp, including the cavalry, had a regularly appointed canteen from which beer was sold openly and without fear of moletation, day and night.The \u2018News,\u2019 further, is prepared to furnish the names and addresses of several of the men who enjoyed regimental canteen privileges.These privileges were nhoth- ing more nor less than the right to sell (This.intoxicating liquor and they were had | nl for the asking.Again, the sale of beer in the camp was not restricted to soldiers, but civilians were made welcome, and it was by no means an uncommon sight during camp to see a raw young militixmen end a cividan acquaintance going through the interesting perform- ence of getting drunk together.The establishment of a canteen was regarded by each betimlion, apparently, a8 the most necessary and serious part of the outing, and the greater number of them\u2014they were rough board structures with shanty roofs-were erected by the energetic beer vendors many days in advance of the arrival of the soldiers.Every day during the camp, Major- General Huttbon, accompanied by his staff, rode past these canteens white they were in full swing, with rows of red-coats and civiliane standing outside of them drinking beer; and if his powers of observation were not sufficient to enable him to see what was going on, then : he is not a fit and proper man to command the Canadian militia.The \u2018News\u2019 is in possession of the name and address of one canteen proprietor who boasted of having cleared several hundred dollars as\u2019 | & result of his operations during ten days in camp.The use of the army canteen, while 1 apposed by pegple in qivil life almost as a unit, is quite as generally approved by army \u201cofficers, and tthe \u2018News\u2019 does not 1 seek to argue the question; it wishes simply to point out that the regulations governing canteens have been violated in the | most barefaced manner, and, apparenitly, il not with the commanding officers knowledge, with that of his subordinate.The clause of the latest regulations and orders dealing with the subject states explicitly that nothing in the Queen's 1 Regulations and orders for the army, so far as they.relate to the establishment of canteens, ii to be -unlerstood as permitting the sale \u2018of\u2019 iftoxicating liquors, including wine, within-any.camp grounds.The commanding officer of each regiment is beld responsible for ay violation of this regulaition, : The headquafters \u2018staff at Ottawa are apparently hirüoriats.Tlia idea of refus ing an enquiry on- the ground that the evidence in their possession is of a flimsy character is absurd,\u201d The \u2018News\u2019 is prepared to fofnish any specific\u2019 \u2018data that may be required.THE HERV EY.INSTITUTE.Fifty-Second Annual Meeting Yesterday, J A SATISFACTORY YEAR'S WORK REPORTED.¢ The fifty-wecond annual meeting of the.| Hervey

| ments were made with the trolley sys {tem by \u201cthe Brie Traction: Company, PO) which went io-far as to Gontract with | the Niagara \u2018Falls Power Company \u2018for a large supply of electric power to pro- vel boats on the Erie canal.«The mo- .| tors used then proved a failure.A new Lu | company has, however, now been organized under the old name, with new devices and patents and very large finan cial backing, Mr; Hoffman, the banker \u2018being president.Mr.Frank Hawley vice president.with Mr.John F.Carlisle, | Senator Platt and other equally well- {known men being on ite directorate.The tractor is, it is eaid, built upon the princivle of an automobile with three | wheels, and is supplied.with storage bat- | teries sufficient to propel six canal boats of 240 tons each.It is claimed that it will be possible \u2018to \u2018move a loaded boat at an \u2018exvense of two and & half cents a mile; as against twelve cents a mile by horses.\u2018This - would: be

militia duthori- ties, both civil and military, with regard to the indiscriminate sale of liquor in the London military camp.It affirms that the sale was.general, and open and visible to every one, and necessarily so to the major-gemaral commanding who denied its existence.If what the London \u2018News\u2019 says\u2014and we copy its statement in another column\u2014is true, then were the dlighting remarks of the Minister of Militia in parliament with regard\u2019 to the representations of Mts.Thornley \\on the subject unwarranted, Tepreheu- sible and cruel.He was.certainly not nation of making \u2018unfounded or at least | unproved siftements if the proof was obvious to all men.If this statement be correct then ara some militia camps carried on in a way that Canadian pub- lo opinion condenins and ina way which\" will make the better classes of our people abhor the service at least for their own boys.If the militia department wanted the ranks of the corps filled up with the drinking classés à would take the right their likings.IF it wants the true and stalwart youth of the country to join \u2018them with the approval of their parents; | and eo with loyal hevrts and a good con- |.science, they will consider the convie- tions of the people better than the Lon.| don paper represents them to ba doing.|- We carefully: avoid responsibility for \u2018the published statement, which we copy.It is flatly at iesue with the statements of | the major-general.© We, only \u2018say that\" authorities have done ihe public a very great disservice, and one for which they |.ghould be brought to book, We cannot { but \u2018add that as positive statements are.better believed than negative, the public\u2019 will have to be convinced that these ad} ment is not to lie, in many \u2018minds> dt} least, under the reproach which has thus heen | laid on \u201cur cheat Nak THE CAN ADIAN CONTINGENT.The Imperial Government hee, accord: ing to advices- \u2018from Ottawa, offered to.accept a Canadian contingent for the- Transvaal.: The Dominion Government has instituted inquiries as to what force Canada is in a position to furnish, which have resulted in.something very like an.emlistment far + tha service.In answer to the .call for \"volunteers we have no doubt that many times the number needed will respond, \u2018There is any amount of.warlike spirit among the people of Canada, who are true sons of Brit ish and\" Irish parents in that regard, being, if not a military nation, at least a fighting ome-when the \u2018necessity arises, It is probable that every province of the Dominion will be represented on \u2018the force, \u2018 from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and that there will be ¢ a- fair proportionate representation of all the races \u2018which go to make up \u2018this Canada of ours, but | all will be one in their desire to serve the empire.It.-appears that the government has .quietly beén making preparation for gome- time for the despatch of a contingent, # called upon.The militia department As, .secording to one Ottawa authority, well forward.already with some-of the ai ments, and the \u2018orders for the uniforms of the troops | have already.been given.It appears that cavalry and infantry alone are called for, and the artillery, in which Canada is - particularly strong, so far ea discipline and skill goes, are, it appears, not needed.Perhaps, how- | ever, this is daly an oversight.There is one part of the arrangements as published which we do not like, and that is the statement that the \u2018Iaperial Government is-to béar the whole cost of the contingent.Certainly, Canada, when she sends a contingent, should insist upon\u2019 bearing not a part, but the whoie of the expense.These are prosperous years for Canada, and it is a good.time to be gin to contribute to the cost of the maintenance of the empire.Canada should support her own contingent, no matter what it costs.We suppose the arrange: ment of the British Government supporting the Canadian contingent is based upon: the precedent in the case of th» East Indies; which furnishes troops, but does not pay for them after they leave India.But Canada is one of the nations of the empire, and in an altogather different position from India, ~ ot BN Fo EVA Yn 3 in» en Ser 1 | TRE.CR AND C.P.R.Mr.Michael Dwyer, a Halifax Liberal, hae been writing to the \u2018Chronicle\u2019 of that city im regard to the present position of raïïway affairs between the In- tercolonial and the Canadian Pacific Railway in the Maritime Provinces.\u201d Since the \u2018Chronicle\u2019 some time ago published what was ihen regarded as an inter view with Sir Wiliam Van Horne in regard to à proposition made.by him to the Dominion Government to take over the Intercolonial Railway and establish e line of steamships across the Atlantic, in which he was represented as declaring that he never would die happy unless he aécomplished.it, there has been a di» cussion carried on in the newspapers in the capital of Nova Scotia as to the probability of the scheme ever being carried out.Mr.Dwyer geems to be of the both Halifax and St.John, as well as Nova Scotia and N together, as the sa liam Van Horne was first published the Canadian Pacific had not at that time built the ehort line across the State of Maine.Sir William wae then anxious to eecure an Atlantic terminal for the Canadian Pacific, and was sure that with the aid of a fast ocean line from Eng land he could- make the Intercolonial Railway pay handsomely.minion Government, hearing this from one of the greatest railway managers in making it pay was open to it also, and rejected Sir William Van Horne\u2019s great scheme, Sir William's idea, however, was to make the Intercolonial Railway a part of his great touriet line be {tween Europe, America and Asia, en- \u2018gaging in hotel and other accessory \u2018schemes.in a.way in which its present \u2018owner, the government, could not.The | government did, however, assiaÿ the Ca- short line across Maine, and gave it running privileges over the Intercolonial \u2018from St.John to Halifax.Now that the Intercolonial Railway is running independently of the Canadian Pacific Rail way, the.latter, is no longer\u2019 in any way \u2018connected with Nova Scotia, let alone Halifax, and the Canadian Pacific is not .proposes Infereclonial Railway give the Canadian Pacific Railway a fair arrangement.To.this \u2018end he suggests.that a commission be \u2018éppdinted to define the ground for an agreement.but he believes that it will not bé dbne unlesy the people of Halifax and \u2018the people of Nova Scotia stand out for their rights.- It was the St.John people who were the first to make complaint to the Minister of Railways, who in acting as.he believes in the interests of tha people of Canada would seem to ba acting rather against, than in favor of, his own province and city.THE ULTIMATUM.strikes the world with amazement.In the first place, it was Great Britain, as the demanding power, upon which would under ordinary \u2018circumstances devolvé the exceedingly unpleasant task of ending negotiations by sending her final de- | mands.In this case the task was even more unpleasant than ueual, \u2018for the Boers are a God-fearing, religious race, well \u2018meaning in\u201d their own way, which is none the less a crafty one, and are.doubtless trying to preserve what they regard as Yighteous government by keep: ing ail powers in the hands of the moral and pious section of the people, They are also a very small people, who have had a very heroic history, and as a republic they have the sympathies of the.many democratic peoples of this age.There wes in Great Britain, the ¢olonies, and the United States a great deal of \u2018sympathy for the Boers becauss it was thought by many that Mr.Chamberlain bad lent himself to the jingoes and the great capitalist mine-owners of the Transvaal, and was inclined to deal hardly with the Transvaal Government.The Duke of Devonshire has, however, declared that the cabinet was in agreement with Mr.Chamberlain, and there are many men in the cabinet who are anything but friendly to Mr.Cecil 8, who@ has stood almost completely aside from afl politics for a long time.It seems extraordinary that under these circumstances the Transvaal Government should have relieved, the British Gov- eriment of the odium of declaring war against a small nation, and ome with which \u2018there was \u2018so much sympathy throughout Anglo-Saxondom, not tof speak of on tha

British Government, urged thereto by all the nations and by quite a body of public opinion in the United Kingdom, was exercising a great deal of patience in negotiating with the Transvaal.For months and months, while the Transvaal was arming itself openly, the British Government kept the South African colonies without due défences, in the hope of giving no offence while negotiations were in progress.Even now, it is said, the British \u2018defending force along the Transvaal border is by no means excessive.Lat- telly, when the Transvaal became exigent, it has suited Great Britain's plan of campaign to protract negotiations somewhat! until her forces in overwhelm- There was not much evidence taken in the investigation into the Banque Vite Marie ose yesterday, but the proscey.tion

\u2018At any rate there is no indication that Mr.Wm.Weir or any of the directors of the bank got any of it?\u2018No In answer to Mr.H.Brown, Q.C., counsel for Mr.F.W.Smivh, the witness said Mr.Smith was not a director of the bank when the $10,000 rest fund was created.He was made a director in June, 1895.He had included eight notes owed by him under the head of \u2018loaned to directors\u2019

thus prevent blood by\" making resistance hopeless.The great mistake of the Boers: was in Hurry\" ing \u2018their forces to the Natal frontier too soon.Once there with {heir inadequate commissatiat and supply systems, it bé came a question whether they would be able to hold on without becoming disorganized and going to pieces.This, in all probability, with the lack of discipline of the Boers, is the real reason for the forwarding of the ultimatum to Great Britain.It is not al-} together unlikely either they fear a native rising unless they can prevent it by a success or two at the beginning of tho war, which would also serve the Boer cause well throughout all South Africa .among the burghers of the other colonies, In any case, the sympathies of the other nations will be to some extent dulled by the ultimatum of the mination will be praised.The Boers also made the capital mistake of making their \u2018demands altogether absurd.Great Britain could claim to be protecting her

to-day.Some of the English visitors have engaged passage on the \u2018Oceante,\u2019 that sails to-morrow, go they will miss witnessing a race.Sir Thomas was in good humor, \u2018I thought you clever Yankees could do amy-| thing,\u201d he shouted to some of his newspaper acquaintances, \u2018but you don't seem | to be able to propitiate Old Boreas, When yor come over on the other aide next year to bring back the cup, I'll guarantee you at least two races a week, and more M you want them.\u2019 Co Shortly atter 1 o'clock, after consulting with Sir Thomas Lipton, it was decided to abide by the decision of yesterday mot to sail a race to-morrow.The attempt,therefore, will be made on Thursday, and thereafter daily until the series is completed.AN AMERICAN OPINION.Captain Samue! Samuels, America\u2019s most famous racing skipper, who commanded the schooner yacht \u2018Henrietta\u2019 in her ocean race with the \u2018Fleetwing\u2019 and the \u2018Vesta,\u2019 and who for years was the commander of America\u2019s ehip, the old \u2018Dreadnaught,\u2019 yesterday compared the \u2018Columbia\u2019 apd the \u2018Shamrock.\u2019 Captain Samuels witnessed the three trial races last week betw=en the American and British racing yachts, and he studied the liens of both boats while they were in dry dock.\u2018In the \u2018Shamrock,\u2019 sald Captain Sam- uels, \u2018the builders have adopted the shape of our wide centreboard boat, with a fixed centreboard, which is called a keel, to the bottom of which is added their deadweight.The \u2018Shamrock\u2019s\u2019 shape and the extreme depth of her ballast under her her great stability.emg; oxprbang, forward and aft, you would \u201cDave an approximate of our old schooher |'.the \u2018Columbia.\u2019 ~~ 1 \u2018If you consider our.own yacht divested.of her overhang fore and aft you would heave nearly the dead rise of the schooler yacht \u2018Sappho,\u2019 to which would be added the extra deep-weighted keel.The two mx dels are apparently alike.- If the \u2018Col- vmbia\u2019 showed the same stability, ber lires being finer than those of the \u2018Shamrock,\u2019 in my opinion, the \u2018Columbia\u2019 would be the faster of the two boats.As far as 1 have watched thelr sailing in the light weather they have had there is little difference, if any, between the boats.: \u2018I never saw boats better matched, considering that I believe the race will be In favor of the better-handied boat.\u2019 \u2018What do you think of the manner In which both boats were handled?was asked., \u2018IT consider both boats well-handled.From a seaman\u2019s point of view I should say that if Captain Bakr had as free a hand in the management of his boat as Capt.Hogarth has in the handling of the \u2018Shamrock,\u2019 I would favor the former boat.\u2019 \u2018What in your opinion would be the result should the race be attempted in a Leavy blow?was asked.\u2018I do not think,\u2019 said Cept.Samuels, with emphasis, \u2018that either vessel would come back with a spar standing, if they came back at all, as neither could be class2d as a seagoing vessel.\u2019 nant ATHLETICS.ST.MARY'S COLLEGE.The scholars of

TRANSVAAL QUESTION.London, Oot.11.\u2014Lord Rosebery, the former Premier, and Liberal leader, has finally declared his position relative to the South African question.In a letter, under to-day\u2019s date, he says:\u2014\u2018I have maintained silence, because I am loath to re-enter politics.To-day, however, I can epeak without touching Politics, for a situation has been created which is beyond party politics.I think there is much in the last three years of our relations with the Government the Transvaal to criticise, if not to condemn; but that is all over for the present.It is needless to discuss how we could best have attained our simple and reasonable object of rescuing our fellow- countrymen in the Transvaal, from intolerable conditions of subjection and injustice, and of securing equal rights for the white races in South, Africa; for an ultimatum has been addressed to Great Britain by the South African Re- publie, which is itself a declaration of war.\u2018In the face of this attack upon the nation, the people will undoubtedly close their ranks and relegate party contro versies to a more convenient season.\u201cThere is one more word to be said.Without attempting to judge the policy which concluded a peace \u2018after the re verse at Majube Hill, I am bound to * | state my profound .conviction that there is no conceivable government in, this country which could répeat it\u201d = ~ THE HON MR.MILLS AT CAL GARY., Calgary, N.W.T., Oct.11\u2014The Calgary Bar entertained the Minister of Justice, the Hon.David Mills, to a banquet on Monday evening.\u2018In response to .the toast of his health the honorable gentleman made an eloquent speech, tracing the growth of our parliamentary | system.He showed that the tendency of the system was towards local control.This was to be seen not only in the powers granted by the Imperial government to \u2018the colonial legislatures, not only in respect of the power to make laws, but also in the matter of framing treaties, instancing the Washington treaty and the late joint high commission.He paid a high tribute to the British system of life appointment of judges and .eheriffs \u2018and contrasted it with the system in vogue in the United States.He also pointed to the steady infinence in the formation of parties in the provincial governments, For example the government in the Territories wh'\u2018ere party lines have not yet been .lrawn might sometime be overturmed by en irresponsible leader.This could not be where the opposition leader had \u2018hel support of his party at his back.Tke Minister concluded with a passing allusion to the international boundary dispute.In matters of this kind, he declared the policy of Caneda was not to claim everything in sight but what was hers to bold.- ; \u2014 MINISTER OF MILITIA, DR.BORDEN DECLARES THAT THERE IS NO CHANGE IN THE SITUATION.The Hon.Dr.Borden, Minister of Militia, was in the city this morning, and left by the Canada Atlantic train for the capital.- Before leaving he expressed surprise and amusement at the\u2019 circumstantial information given as to the stir reported to exist in the militia department at Ottawa over the proposed despatch of Canadian troops to South Africa.The minister declared that there had been nothing new in the position so far as the militia was concerned for some days.Weeks ago the Imperial Government was thoroughly informed of the Canadian Government's readiness to do anything that could reasonably be re quired, and without even.waiting for the Imperial Government to say whether Canadian troops would be likely to be required or, not, arrangements were made for equipping a contingent.Orders for uniforms, etc., were let, with the understanding that if not required for a Transvaal contingent they would be used for next year\u2019s usual issues.MINISTERS IN CONFERENCE, Annual Gathering of the Diocesan Theological Association \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 « DIFFICULTIES OF MISSION WORK ARISING OUT OF THE DIVISIONS OF CHRISTIANITY.The eleventh annual conference of the Montreal Diocesan Theological Aasocia- tion opened at the oollege, University street, at ten a.m., to-day, when holy communion was celebrated in the college chapel.An .address waz delivered by the Rev.T.E.Cunningham, M.A.Later an address was delivered by the president, the Rev.James A.Elliott, B.A., who referred to the arrival of the present principal, ana accorded him a very hearty welcome.They were also glad to have the Rev.Prof.Steen back again.The conference, Mr.Elliott said, was to be open to give full expression.to all views.They were to be sympathetic and charitable.Reference was made to the power of the\u2019 college alumni as a body in the diocese and synod, and the hope was exprassed: that its members would prove themselves worthy of advancement.With cordial expression ,of good feeling, the programme of the conference was then taken up.Mr.H.S.Boyle, B.AÀ., read a paper on \u2018Difficulties of mission work .rising out of the divisions of ,Christendom.\u2019 There were three elements of success \u2018in mission work, so far as human agency was concerned.the intrinsic work (in other lands) of the religion which was being propagated, the ability and zeal of those laboring in the cause, and the those who sent them to the work.Without dwelling upon the everpresent and Holy Spirit, they should, see in the case: of Christian missions, that the divisions: existing in Christendom had no small influence on the conditions named of sae nearly all referred to the two great odn- stituents of their religion: and belief, and outward form and method.Therefore, touching as they did- the vital principles of missionaty life \u2018and: progress, they would seem, theoretically, 80 to speak, of their.Christianity in other lands, and on their personal missisnary work abroad and at home.Christianity contained the essentials of a truly missionary religion, being ques tionably a universal faith (in.its Evi |a- mentals).ty of the Christian religion: Converts intelligent enough to notice the respec- teachers were not wise enough to note their absolute agreement on the great necessary truth.To them the secondary things appealed, simply from\u2019 the fact that contrast brought them into undue prominence.On fundamental truths the missionaries, it might be, agreed and \u2018were silent, and they would, perhaps un- consicously, allow the greater truths to lie partially hidden in the effort to bring into clearer light the peculiar doctrines they upheld, or, for instance, they would launch their converts at once into the doctrine of the Trinity, instead of) dwelling on the simple gospel story.Thus of him who was the ouly reallly Catholic man, and the grandeur of his teaching, its bearing on every relationship of life, was very largely lost in the endeavor to establish, not that universal religion rightly called Christianity, but rather some respective portion of it, for.which its adherents claimed all the universality of the religion \u2018of Christ.Well might the heathen ask, as indeed they did, \u201cIs Christ divided?Missionary enterprise imbued ' with such spirit was doomed to partial failure at least.The worde of :Christ\u2019s command to \u2018make disciples of all nations\u2019 inferred the universal character of his teaching, and the attempt to prepogate a divided \u2018Christianity could not.be follwing |.the spirit, of his words.Nor could it appeal fo heathen minds as a \u2018réligion of great superiority, coming tô them not with the force of a great truth on which all men agreed, but with the weakness of divided opinion within itself, and ocntra- dicting in fact its great central teaching of unity and godly love.Was it thus Saviour\u2019s own prayer: \u2018That\u2019 they fay all be one; as thou Father art in me, -and Iin thee; that they also may be one in us,\u2019 and in the eame breath: \u2018That the world may believe that thou hast sent | m'?as though he said, \u2018a divided church will prevent the.conversion of the world\u2014will prove a stumbling block to the world, and: cast doubt upon\u2019 my \u2018mission to mankind; \u2018may my people therefore be one, that the world may be constrained by the traits of love and affebcion it shall behold in them, to be- licve that thou hast sent me.\u2019 Remedies were suggested, and a general ciscussion followed on the paper.The conference then adjourned until 2.38 p m.Its sessions will continue until tomorrow evening, closing with the graduates\u2019 reunion and annual business meet: ing.-Those present this morning were the Rev.Principal Hackett, B.D, D.C.L,, honorary president; the Rev James A.Filiott, president; and the Revs.Rural Dean Seunders, W.A.Fyles, 8.H.THE

Langelier in chambers in the name of Francois Martin asking the issue of a writ of injunction to prevent the Police Committee from holding the investigation fixed for this afternoon.The grounds of the petition dare that the committee has no power to decide such an investigation, the council alone being able to do so by a formal resolution, and the resolution of the council, by virtue of which the proposed investigation is to be held, was not one ordering an investigation, but simply a resolution authorizing the illegal act of \u2018the Police Committee.The petition further alleges that, besides, no specific charges are made in the resolution referred to, and as such it is null and void.The judge granted the petition,-and a \u2018bailiff was at once despatched to serve the order upon the Police Committee.This injunction will no doubt be contested, and argument will be heard later on.Thd members of the Police Committee were in their places and had just started \u2018to take up the question of the investiga- .tion when the writs were served on the members greatly to their surprise._ The subject was at once dropped, ard the committee proceeded to discuss matters of routine business.\u2018 \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 DRINK\u2019S DOINGS.A woman residing on Shaw street has complained to the Police Magistrate that] N.W her husband \u2018while under
