insist on Senator Ferguson\u2019s amendments to the Election Act, which was introduced by the Solicitor- General some months ago to promote \u2018| purity in elections.The amendments in question had regard to elections in Prince Edward Island, and the Minister of Justice replied that it was absurd for a member of the Upper House of Parliament, who did not have to go before the electorate at all, to force his will in a matter of this kind upon the majority of the people\u2019s representatives, and this in a way to bring with it the defeat of the whole measure, which was designed by the administration to obviate as far as possible the working of corrupt practices.Senator Ferguson\u2019s amendment had already been before the House of Commons, and had been rejected by that body as unworkable and unnecessary.The Secretary of State took occasion to point out that in 1898 Senator Ferguson had held up the Franchise Act in the very same way in the dying moments amendments through

debauched voters, deceived the advocates tempt and a disregard for all laws, and.\u2018byword and reproach wherever it is known.\u2018We maintain that the Republican \u2018party in Maine is under the practical .control of a ring which has finally become the rum syndicate of the state, promoting the illegal sale of liquor, protecting the dealer in the sale, pocket ing a\u201d large revenue from these trærfsac- tions, assessing rumaellers for money with which to rontrol caucuses, conven- \u2018tions, and élections, and saddling a heavy debit upon and loading the tax- paycrs with bills, charges, and alleged \u2018disbursements too grievous to be borne, land by such duplicity they are demoralizing the youth of our state and educating {them to disregard law and order.\u2018We believe the respectable, law-abid- | ing citizens of the state, irrespective of party, favor a change.They demand that the law shall be either enforced -or repealed.To that end we favor re.\u2018submission.When resubmission is ac -complished, we advosate a high license and local option law;

Messrs.R.J.Heneker and O.G.Beckit.Mr.Heneker (rector\u2019s war- \u2018den) then read the notice to His Lord- \u2018ship, setting forth the purpose of the as- emblage.They then progeéded to tlie

inhabitants of St.Anne's, and he appealed to them whether they were doing the right thing b y him.The fuvsical portion of the service was well \u2018rendered .by.\u2018a voluntary .chgir of ten

far from being the hopeless wilderness that people have come to think at.If not a land flowing with milk and honey, it produces corn and wine and oil freely.But for the unspeakable Turk, who seems to take a diabolical satisfaction in frustrating every plan or effort tending to its development, it woald be a land of plenty, while the thirteen thousand pilgrims and \u2018two thousand money-spending tourists who already wisit it annually, are enough to give it a commercial start.Its trade seems to be growing and amounted last year to three and a half million dollars, of which the exports were about one and a half million.With a harbor, which it has not, but which could be made at Jaffa, and with its railway allowed to emter the places it serves this trade would greatly increase.The best of the agriculture is in the hands of religious, benevolent and na- ticnalk communities, but its possibility is proved.Palestine exported last year $130,000 worth of water melons and $385,000 worth of oranges, which latter went chiefly to London., The largest export, strange to say, is soap.The Turk, who has at least preserved this land so far for lovers of ita sored memories from modern innovation, and in fact rendered it more \u2018primitive than it was at the Christian era, will surely soon have\u201d to stand aside and allow it to develop.The opening of the Fuphra- tes Valley Railway, which cannot be much longer deferred, will ont to, al rupt the stronghold: OM stagnation.Germany has the concession \u2018of this.railway, in which, however, British and French capital are invested.It is said that \u201cRussis insisted' heart the railway should at no \u2018point cross the Euphrates end that Germany was.obliz- ed t6 concede this.- It would thus seem that Germany has, as a sphere of influence, Asia Minor and Syria west of the Euphrates and within a line drawn north-west from the sources of the \u2018Euphrates to Scutari, while Russia claims Asia Minor, Mesopotamia, Kur- destan and Persia, to the east of the Euphrates, as her sphere of influence.GERMANY\u2019S SUCCESS.Thirty yéars nearly have elapsed since Germany became consolidated as an empire at the close of the war with France.Wonderful as was the lesson Germany then gave the world in the perfection of a new military system, the industrial progress her people have achieved since then is even more wonderful.In the year 1870 Germany was largely an agricultural country; about thirty-five percent of her people only were engaged in trade and manufactures.At the present time two-thirds are employed in mechanical pursuits and shipbuilding.The governments of other European nations, surprised at the industrial expansion of a country which had risen to sudden great- | ly studied and provided.Yet,\" THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.ness as a military power, have been investigating the sources of German success.Great Britain, France, Belgium, who all felt the keenness of German competition, appointed commisisons to study the situation, and the result has been made known to some extent in the re-: ports of United States consuls.From these it appears that the several commis-< sions are agreed that German success in.the mechanical arts is owing largely to the temperament of the people, their marvellous system of industrialism and their commercial and technical schools.But of these elements in German success the greatest emphasis is placed on artistic and technological education as\u2019 the chief factor.The application of scientific methods to industrial development is, in fact, the -true secret of the wonderful progress of Germany in competition with countries which have neglected that all-important branch of education.That conservatism in methods of production which is a marked char- \u201cÀ actéristie/ of British manufacturing is not respected in Germany, where the requirements of all markets are intelligent- it is pointed out, Germany is not a country rich in the natural resources of raw material.She has neither coal nor iron in abundance.To obtain cheap food she must import it, for meats, fruits and ce- own borders.Of wool she grows an insufficient supply for her mills, and cotton, of course, is brought from abroad.The sugar beet is about her largest native product.German chemical works are the most famous in the world, yet all their supplies are imported.Such being the facts, it must be admitted that the temperament of the people as a ruling equation in German industrial evolution deserves the prominence it has been given, and, when directed by sound technical education, offers to the consideca- tion of the manufacturers of other countries the means they must adopt in their business if they would not be outclassed in the markets of the world.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014- THE WAR SITUATION.The most striking feature of Lord Roberts\u2019s character, as it appears to war correspondents, is his constant kindly thoughtfulness.of \u2018the death in action of Lieut.Borden, the Canadian Minister of Militia, a keen: remembrance of the sorrowful blow suffered by himself when his only son, élso a lieutenant, was struck down at Colenso, in a gallant action which had won for him the recommendation of the Victoria Cross, which he did not survive to wear, must have moved him greatly.The sorrowful news was carelessly .exclaimed in his hearing from the lips of an acquaintance as he read it from .the news ticker in a room of his club, \u2018Heavens, Bobs\u2019s son is killed.\u201d And, satis fying himself of the truth of the report, Lord Roberts went home to break \u2018the.news to Lady Roberts.The same week.he .was appointed sand accepted, the command of the army in the field in, + South Aftica.: By the despatch\u2019 of ,8 message from himeelf to the Governor- General of Canada, Lord Roberts pre: vented the added shock of a rude déliv- ery of the sorrowful news to Dr.Borden.\u2019 Tnt Brirden must, have.fallen in, the, détén reported.yesterday, in.which, Gen- pus Hutton drove\u2019 the Boer forces prè- | \u2018viously driven from\" Rietfontein \u2018sduth- \u2018occupied by them further east.\u201cOn the same day \u2018on which General Smith-Dorrien also engaged and drove back the Boers to the north-west of Pretoria.General Hamilton, with a new ish prisoners recently reléased at Waterfall and of some other mounted troops, marched along the line of railway north eastward without offering any resistance.Until the strong Boer commando which captured the British force at the pass through the Magaliesberg mountain is dispersed, there will be apprehension about Rustenburg, where General Ba- den-Powell is, and Krugersdorp, where General Barton is, as a strong concentration of the Boer forces at either place | is possible.General Clery has apparently succeeded in clearing the line of the Natal rail- - way through the south-eastern Trans vaal of the Boers, who are now nowhere near the line to raid it.The operations have cost some- thirg, the casualties to Strathcona\u2019s Horse, which have performed good ser vice, being considerable.The where reals are not largely produced within her \u2018When he was informéd end was told that he was the only son of |- Hutton\u2019s action was fought, General | division, made up apparently of the Brit- | to Waterfall, the Boers fleeing to the |: pan.| kin by Baron Nishi, the Japanese min: {| bombardment, end abouts of General Lyttleton\u2019s division and of General Buller himself has not yet been -revealed.\u201cThey may either be marching south from Vrede upon Harrismith or west along the railway from Ladysmith through Van Reenen\u2019s Pass upon Harrismith.In either case they would be in a position to help hem in General De Webt\u2019s Boer forces which \u2018are now in the eastern part of the Or ange River Colony.At Harrismith a British force would be to the north west pf De Wett's position, which is a strong ome, in the large valley formed by the two.parallel ranges of mountains, the : Wittebergen and \u2018the Roodebergen, which run east and west, the first south of Bethlehem and the latter somewhat further south of Harrismith, and joined at the west by a short spur of the Wettebergen, which runs south.This region is just where Natal, the Orange River Colony ard Basutoland join, near the highest mountains of the Drakens- berg Tange.General.(ements.and General Hunter \u2018were at Bethléhem \u201cwhen | last heard from, and General Rundle and General Brabant at Ficksburg and Senekal, The latter had advanced and closed up the passes over the mountains to the south and west of the Boer position, and: Generals Clements and Hunter were expected to have closed up the northern and eastern passes.It will not \u2018be easy capturing such a force as that of the Boers .n such a country and the British transport is mot very good.If the line of railway from Ladysmith to Harrismith were occupied and worked the transport would be comparatively easy.1 teres IN CHINA.There is no more authentic or reliable news of a recent date from or of Pekin.Reports are ocontra- dictory to-day.There are some fresh reports confirming those of the safety of the .foreigners in Pekin on the dinth of July, while.there are others, from unreliable sources for the most part, , declaring that the massacre did take place on the seventh of July, and that Sheng, the director of Chinese tele graphs, and the viceroys know the truth and are keeping it back.There seem ta be indications that the foreign govern- melite still apprehend that the worst he befallen at Pekin.Yause of the utter and prolonged silence\u2019 | of the fdreigners in Pekin and -owing to \u201cthe fact \u2018that, though the viceroys re ceive messages from Pekin and send messages thither, they are unable or unwilling, even in the face of the demands of the European and United States governments, to place them in communica- : tion with their ministers at Pekin.Li Hung Chang, now on his way from Can- .ton to Pekin via the sea route by Hongkong, in an intérview in regard to his \u2018mission given to the foreign consuls \u2018at hat port, professed to believe that the {ministers were still alive, as he declared that his mission was undertaken partly to save their lives.He, however, admitted the possibility that they were dead, \u2018and seemed anxious to be assured that Fihie own life would not be taken by the \u201curopeans on his way to Tientsin if they \u2018heard during that time of the death of their: ministers.According to Li Hung Chiang, Great Britain and France have tiotified him that life for life of the re- jonsible Chinese authorities would be {iden if the ministers were murdered, | east of.Pretoria, from.the new.position lsd hie declares that he sent the message \"to the imperial authorities at Pekin just |vas he received it.To understand what such a message would mean to the Dow- -4ger\u2019 Empress\u2019 of China, ofie must \u2018re member that the imperial rulers of China consider foreigners as infinitely inferior in every respect to themeelves, and demand, and have hitherto received, extreme deference on the part of both pow- | \u2018ers and their ministers, in spite of the \u2018demands for territorial and commercial concessions made upon them.Li Hung Chang probably understands that his imperial masters will never forgive him for sending such a message, and that he will go in danger of his life hereafter unless they consider his services indispensable.The latest word from ithe foreign legations in Pekin comes to-day from Ja- It is a message sent out of Pe- ister, on June 29; that \u2018is four days later than the message of Sir Robert Hart.The only news it contains is thet the legations had been then standing a daily and that it was feared that no provisions would be procurable after the first of July.\"The victory of the international forces Probably this is be-!| WepxEspaY, Jury 18, 1900 at Tientsin last Friday and Saturday is now fully confirmed.It was all but complete.The whole native city of Tientsin and all the forts but one have been captured by the internationals.The Chinese suffered immensely both in lives and in war material, and it seems probable that their military strength will now collapse.The Japan-' ese, who have done such splendid service, are landing a whole army corps, well equipped and supplied at Taku, and the British reinforcements are now due, so that an immediate attempt at the relief of Pekin will probably be made un- iess authentic news of the massacre of all Europeans is received, in which case a more deliberate and certainly more effective campaign will be organized.It is quite possible that the late summer rains make the roads to Pekin impassable.In that case the expedition will have to be sent up the gulf coast to Shanhaikwan, the treaty port at the terminus of the great wall, from which a fair/rbads runs to Pekin over sompara- tively \"high ground.Shanhaikwan is now under the guns of the European men-of-war, which have teen sent there.The river route from Tientsin to Tung- chow is a passable one, but the current of the Pei river is very strong and it takes boats a week to ascend the sixty- five miles.From Tungchow to Pekin there \u2018is a paved stone road.In south and central China the situation is reported more threatening, but this may be merely a panicky rumor owing to fears of foreigners on account of the departure of Li Hung Chang from Canton for Pekin.No actual outbreak has yet occurred.The report of Prince Tuan\u2019s great army of 900,000 Chinese soldiers, which comes from St.Peters- burg, is ridiculous nonsense.That Russia end China are at war in Manchuria seems certain, as the reliable correspondent of the \u2018Times\u2019 at St.Pe- tersburg sends a report to that effect.Russia and China were suspected «of having an understanding with each other as to this outbreak, but it appears that Russia is rather more hateful ¢o the Chinese than the other Europeans, and Russia is anxious to annex Manchuria outright at the end of the present troubles and\" is working to that end.fe RovAL ELECTRIC COMPANY, SHAREHOLDERS RATIFY AGREEMENT WITH THE CHAMBLY COMPANY\u2014ELECTION OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS.The annuel meeting of the Royal Electric Company was held at the offices of the company yesterday afternoon.Mr.Rodolphe Forget, the president, occupied the chair.The principal item of business was the ratification of the contract with the Chambly Electric Company.The contract provides that the Royal Electric Company shall purchase all of the power developed by the Chambly Company for a period lof fifty years at the rate of fifteen dollars per horsepower for the first 15,350 jhorse-power, and ten dollars for any amount in excess of this.This contract does not affect the agreement with the Montreal Street Railway Company.The clause (in that agreement providing for the protection of the Street Railway Company refers only to the selling of power to other surface roads on the island of Montreal.The meeting also ratified the action of the directors in securing an additional $90,- 000 of stock and $30,000 of bonds of the Chambly Company.The ehireholders of the Royal Elec- \u2018trie Company.then sanctioned the sale of all their holdings in the Chambly Company to Mr.James Ross at the price of $701,000, as per an agreement adopted by the directors at their meeting.on July 11.This was not done without protest, for Mr.Jobn Morrison rose and characterized the agreement as scandalous.He offered an amendment providing for the issuing of stock to take over the Chambly Company, but he was ruled out of order and the directors were upheld.The election of directors for the ensuing year resulted as follows: \u2014 .Rodolphe Forget, J.A.L.Strathy, J.R.Meeker, H.B.(Rainville, George Caverhill, James Wilson, F.C.Hen- shaw.At a subsequent meeting of the

being of Sunday-schools.The past week saw a most graphic cong, One day two churches of the Cir eu Workers\u2019 Union of Toronto held à Jour picnic, and had a baptismal serv.ice on the lake shore, at which eleven cand; dates were immersed.Two davs ater the Grove became the shrine of I.ng Sambrinus, owing to the lager beer en: established by the otherwise probabiy worthy (German) Hebrew Benevolert Association of Toronto.The \u2018Witnesy correspondent was early apprised that à lager beer adjunct was a feature of tie picnic, and of what might be the oy: come.He accordingly watched the de velopments, and was more than eur prised at the evil transformation wrought.The excursionists arrived on the White Star ebeamer soon after noon.They were apparently a most respectable, good-humored and well- -disposed crowd, They differed from the usual picnic party in brmging with them a German band and the lager tent.The dining paw ion speedily became a dance hall, and the lager beer tent thronged with patrons.The beer was sold exclusively by ticket to members of the association only.The sequel in less than two hours was several excursionists in various stages of intox: cation.One of them, in endeavoring to pass through the dances, knocked several ovér by his clumsiness.A young negro, who was a friend of one of the Hebrew families, became exceedingly quarre:- some, and had several fistic encounters.The bad language and disgraceful con duct of this young man -and the demoralizing appearance of the other inebri ated men, was a shocking sight for the children of the picnic and.of the vicinity;cavho® fas the intoxicated: ind: viduäl h \u201caround the Grove with evident astonishment.\u201cThere is a feeling here that if such a profanation of a public park is in accordance with the regula tions of the Ontario Liquor License Act, that when the law is amended next ses sion it should be so changed as to prevent a public pleasure ground being so misused.It is at this particular grove that on Wednesday, July 25, the Royal Templars are to hold a demonstratian participated in bv the York county, Toronto distric\u2018 and Halton county councils.res DEATH OF A BROTHER.The

heavy thunder storm only a score or so of the citizens of Ville St.Louis attended the meeting of the council last night, when the taxpayers\u2019 petition was presented.Mayor Ville neuve presided.When the meeting opened, Councillors Martel, Hurteau, Uhaussé, Dubois and Legault were present, and before the clerk had done reading the minutes Councillors Therien,Lajeunesse and Goyer had also taken their seats.Councillor Go- don, who voted steadily against the measures of which the taxpayers complain, was abseat, Mr.À.F.Vincent, the secretary-trea- surer, read a petition signed by a large number of the electors, in which it was stated that rumors were circulating to the effect that the suspension of the limiting clause of the license by-law.had been obtained by the hotel-keepers through the payment of money illegally to\" members of the council ; that the Hghiting contract had been taken from one company and given to another in consequence of an illegal payment of money, and that the sum so paid was said to be $5,000.In consequence of these rumors the petitioners request that all the members of the council, each one ecting individually for himself, shall sign a declaration or affidavit affirming that he has not received any money or benefit, directly or indirectly, either personally or through members of his family, in connection with this contract or licenses.The petition is signed by, among many others, Messrs.N.Paquin, A.Desjardins, A.Beaudin, A.Brunet, F.X.Frechette, Alphonse Paquin, Louis Brazeau, C.Ge- Minas, John Anderson, I.A.Parsons, Robert Neville, jr., F.Lapointe, etc.The reading of the petition gave rise to a lively discussion, which took up the whole sitting.Councillor Chaussé said he did not know this petition was to be presented this evening, and was not prepared to make any extended remarks.He would only repeat what he had explained at the meeting of the citizens, and that was that he had been opposed to all the measures complained of.As he had been called upon to preside, as the acting Mayor, he eould not vote, and he had only signed these by-laws because he could be compelled to sign by a writ of mandamus.If it was true that any member of the council had accepted money, all he would say was that he, for one, would like to gee the accusation formulated against him, and in the meantime he would be only too glad of the opportunity of signing the declaration which the petition called for.Councillor Martel would also willingly accede to the wishes of the taxpayers and sign the declaration.Councillor Goyer was also willing to make the solemn declaration asked for, and he was also in favor of having an investigation.He defended his conduct, and said that he had acted in the interests of the municipality.Councillor Lajeunesse was ready to sign this declaration.He thought the taxpayers who had made these accusations should have been present to support them.He could not understand ,why they should have waited so long, af- \u201cter the passing of the amended license bydaw to make these chafges.They - have kept silence during three months, and many of them have been walking arm in arm with the men whom they now accuse of accepting bribes.He thought it would have been hetter to call a public meeting at which these charges could have been discussed, so as to give every one an opportunity of explaining his conduct to the electors.To answer this petition, he thought they should have to decide first whether or not an investigation was necessary.That point.would have to be decided first.The Mayor said the petitioners did not \u2018ask for an investigation ; it was only a denial of these rumors that was re anired, but doubtless it was intended to push the.matter further, and naturally would foHow.MP Cotncillor Dubois was : Vestigatiôn.5 that some of \u201cthe hotel-keeiers bad \u2018offered him money and if there was an investigation he would give their names.Councilor Lajeunesse was not afraid to say thet offers of money to obtain licenses had also beén made to himself; but he could not be held responsible for that.If an investigation was ordered he could say who made them.frequently happened that parties trying to get a license offered money, that Jit- tle attention was paid Yo such offers: - and the natural presumption was that a representative whose conduct in the council had always been honorable would not take such a proposal seriously \u2014that he would refuse a dishonorable offer.Conncillor Goyer said he understood this petition emanated from within the council itself ; if that was the case Le would not sign ary declaration.\u201cCouncillor Chaussé said he had been shown the.petition at the meeting of citizens last night, but he had not even read it all, he had not seen the last page, and had nothing to do with the petition.Councillor Goyer had not named anyone.Councillor Hurteau was ready to make the affidavit which thèse texpayers asl-ed for.- He had no knowledge of any pay- \u2018ypent or offers of money and the (nly \u2026.object he | in yiew in voting for the À not at all afraid of.te: result if-there Was an in-|.ds Man It so} | suspension of the by-law limiting the number of licenses was to protect the].interests of the proprietors and the tenants of the property affected by such legislation, as it was about May 1.Councillor Therien was quite | to take the oath suggested-in this ticn.Councillor Legault would willingly ae- cede to the request of the petitionera.He hoped this matter would be cleared up to the satisfaction of the citizens.The Mayor said no one should be surprised at such a petition being presented.The public find the situation so strange that they naturally turn to the council for an explanation.Two are lights blazing away at almost every cor ner is a luxury which no other municipality can afford to indulge in ; it is a feature in street illumination that is out of the ordinary way altogether.Of course, some one must be responsible for this wasteful expenditure, and it is but natural to expect that the taxpayers will ask for an inquiry.The declaration is only the commencement.The position at present was this : The town will have to pay annually $4,500 for just nothing at all ; that is, for duplicated arc lights where they are not wanted.It is not to.he wondered at that the eyes of they, public are opened.He did not believe that the council would pay both com- \u2018panies without contesting the claim of one at least in the courts, but there would be a lawsuit that would probably last several years.The contract with the Citizens\u2019 Company has ten years to run, and the sum of money at stake in this eontestation is #0 considerable that the giving out of this contract to the Royal Electric before the other contract was got rid of will make of it the most Important contract ever awarded by the town of St.Louis.He would advise that some arrangement be made if pos sible with the Citizens\u2019 Light Company, but of course the town would have to pay something by way of indemnity.He sincerely hoped that all this had been done in good faith.If every one has acted in good faith it will be a great point, and the loss incurred will be submitted to by the people in better temper, and it will not be felt so much.He was quite sure the members of the eeouncil would make this solemn declaration without hesitation,and say they have not derived any personal benefit, but acted as they thought best in the public interest.He regretted that in the meantime they had to listen to what people were saying about this contract.Councillor Goyer, in a long speech, in which he alluded to charges made several years ago against the council, asked that the declaration be amended so as to include all contracts given out since 1896.In this amended form he.was ready to sign it.Councillor Martel had not the least objection to tire\u2019 amended form.He defended his owh conduct in the council, \u2018and suggested that the declaration be still further amended so as to inclade all transactions since the very commencement ,and he would dign it also in that form.Mayor Villeneuve said that he also could most conscientiously sign such a declaration, and would do so most wil lingly.After a Jong and excited discussion, in which Councillor Lajeunésee referred to accusations which had.been made in the past by persons whom he called \u2018blackmailers,\u2019 and in which Councillor Goyer endeavored to show that the majority of the council had acted according to the opinion expressed by_ the legal adviser of the council in annulling the light contract, & motion py Countillor Hurteau to adjourn was adopted.Ate alee CITY

Richmond Hall to-day.Mr.J.R.Dovgall, of Montreal, was in the chair.After the appointment of a business ocmmittee and the reception of the executive committee\u2019s report, Mr.lou- gall sid the year just passed had caused gigantic disappointment on account cf the action of the government on \u2018he prchibition question.He realized that the larger part of Canada was ia fovor of prohibition, but it had not convinced those in power of this nor those in ¢p- position.This meant that the temperance people would have to go back to the old warfare.The president said that a prohibition law was rot wanted so greatly as a yro- hibition people.Reference was made to the progress that had been made during the past year.He expected that the provinces would be all declaring for prohibition soon.Two of them had done it during the past tweive months.The Rev.W.W.Ryan, moved a resolution, thanking Messrs.Flint and Me Clure, members of the Dominion Yar liarsent for their votg in the House of Commons on total pr@#fibition.This resolution brought :on a discus sion over the government\u2019s action.Mr.J.J.Maclaren thought little of the_ex- jeuse that it would not be constitutichal.Mr.Maelaren thought that partial prohibition for the Dominion: roy dhe better than provincial prohibition; i SENATOR VIDAL'S VIEWS.Senator Vidal did not think that such a law could be constitutionally pai at presemt.\u2018He \u2018believed the- tenrpér péoeple should stick to prohibition\u201d \u2018vor the entire Dominion.Senator Vidal ob- | jected to the statements made.thatue- bec was against prohibition.There were many parishes in Quebec which {had adopted prohibition by voluntary acts.He said that the plebiscite vote in Que- \u2018bec was not on prohibition.very- body left that question to take care of itself while they did everything for-their French-Canadian Premier.Sir Wilfrid Laurier had said that the majority of the people in Quebec were in favor of prohibition.Any prohibition law\u2018that might be passed would be observed in Quebec.The Rev.Dr.Campbell declared that prohibition would never be secured bv one party in parliament.They would also have to secure supporters on the other side of the House.The resolution was then carried.Mr.Wm.H.Orr presented the treasurer\u2019s report.It showed a defic it of $176.73.MAJOR BOND, Major Bond, of Montreal, took \u201cocca- when the executive committec\u2019s recommendations were being referred to committee to say a few words æhout | Quebec.He was very suspicious of any etatements that Sir Wilfrid Laurier \u2018made.Maj Bond was satisfied that Quebec was not a prohibition prorin:e, :as the Premier had said, although.they.were a frugal and temperate people.t | There were but two ways to reach the French-Canadian people.It
