CAUSE.\u2014\u2014 Toronto, Aug.22.\u2014The Rev.R.P.Mac- kay, secretary of the Presbyterian Foreign Mission Committee, made the following interesting statement to a \u2018Witness\u2019 correspondent this morning regarding the troubles in Honan, China.The party which arrived in San Francisco on Friday night last is the first of three parties of Canadian Presbyterian missionaries to come home in consequence of the Chinese insurrection.The second party is composed of the Rev.Jonathan and Mrs.Goforth and children, Mrs.Shimon, Miss Pyke, Miss Dow and Miss Meln- tosh, and is due at San Francisco on Aug.28.The third party includes the Rev.Mr.Mackenzie, Mrs.Mackenzie and children, and Dr.and Mrs.Menzies, and is expected at Vancouver on the day following.The foregoing missionaries and Dr.McClure, Miss Wallace and the Rev.R.M.and Mrs.Mitchell and the Rev.Mr.Hood were the sole Protestant missionaries in the morthern part of the violent province of Homen., They had a teeming population of twenty millions! to preach to and give medical aid.At one time the mission building was mobbed and looted, but no personal violence was suffered.- Owing to the violent character of the people the work has always had threatening aspects.It became acute in June, when the British consul urged a party of the missionaries who were about to take a rest in another part of the country to seek a seaport to avoid impending danger.That panty consisted of Dr.and Mrs.McClure, Dr.and Mrs.Malcolm and Miss Dr.Wallace.Acting on this advice, they proceeded by boat to Chifu.Dr.McClure end Miss Wallace have offered their services, the former as a physician and the latter as nurse, for the war hospital at Weihai- wei to the military authorities in connection with the allied expedition against Pekin.News soon after the arrival of the first party at Chifu reached them that one of their three mission stations, that at Changte, had been burned and that the missionaries had fled by the only possible route, entailing an overland perilous journey of 250 miles and 250 miles by Abbie G.Chapin, the Rev.Chauncey ' they accomplished this with sevéral in- Goodrich, D.D., wife and three children; fants and other children of the party, and how Dr.Leslie became wounded, is a question on which the Canadian public interest now centres, and which Dr.Leslie\u2019s arrival here will explain.On his arrival here Dr.and Mrs.Leslie will go to his sister's, Mrs.McGillivray, be fore proceeding to Montreal., The mission committee will meet here in a few weeks, when detailed arrangements will be made for work for the missionaries, part of them in the home mission fields in British Columbia and others in inspiring increased missionary interest among the churches in various parts of Canada.One cause of irritation to the Honanese was a plan made by progressive Chinese for an imperial railway which was to pass through Chang- te, the chief missionary station, which is about four hundred miles from Pekin.It is probable, the Rev: paid; the dread \u201cof this # ml x would have disturbed burial places of Chinese dead, has resulted in all the Canadian mission property at the other two stations being either burned or looted.It was owing to the friendliness of the viceroy of Hupeh, who at the request of the British and American consuls sent a launch inland 250 miles to meet the fleeing missionaries, that any of them reached a place of safety.DR.AND MRS.LESLIE.The Rev.R.P.Mackay, secretary of the Presbyterian Mission Board, and the \u2018Witness\u2019 representative are mesting the incoming trains from San Francisco to receive and welcome home Dr.Leslie, the wounded missionary, and Mrs.Leslie from China.As they did not arrive on this morning\u2019s trains, they are expected this afternoon or to-morrow morning.THE RETURNING SOLDIERS.OWING TO UNCERTAINTY ARRANGEMENTS FOR THEIR RECEPTION CANNOT BE , COMPLETED.\u2014\u2014 Provided there is an opportunity afforded Montreal will extend an enthusiastic formal welcome to the invalided Canadian soldiers now approaching home on the \u2018 Lake Ontario.\u2019 turn them Jf this is 108 \\ an [¥ some of the weste en may beable to stop over for a limited time on the way to their homes.Mayor Prefon- taine and Alderman Sadler are anxious, whatever the arrangements for the arrival of \"the men are, to give them a 1e- ception, including a luncheon, either cn St.Helen\u2019s Island or the mountain, and Mr.Bauset, assistant city clerk, has gone to Quebec to find out exaotly what the programme of the authorities is so far as Montreal is concerned.Arrangements will be made accordingly.The military authorities are anxious to co-operate, and a provisional battalion composed of the detachments from all the local corps will meet the returning soldiers on their arrival.As nothing is known about the time of their arrival, Lieut.-Colonel Roy, D.O.C,, has issued orders to every commanding officer to be prepared to turn his men out at a few hours\u2019 notice.A suggestion is being made by military men here that the Militia Department should commission Lieut.-Colonel Mattice as district paymaster, to proceed to Rimouski with the returning soldiers\u2019 pay, and pay them on their way up the river.Thus it would not be necessary for the Montreal and western men to land at Quebec at all, and they might continue with the other vassen- gers direct to Montreal.COLLISION ON GRAND TRUNK FREIGHT TRAIN BREAKS IN TWO AND COLLIDES NEAR VICTORIA BRIDGE.\u2014 A collision, attended with considerable damage to rolling stock, but in which fortunately no lives were lost, occurred to a Grand Trunk freight train entering the Point St.Charles yards from the east or south just as the train bad cleared the new Viatoria Jubilee bridge, ghortly before tem o'clock last nighi.The accident was caused by the rear- erd breaking loose from the front portion of the train and colliding with tremendous force against the latter, smashing five or six cars to splinters and scattering some of their contents in all directioms, Both main line tracks were blocked for some time, delaying incoming trains somewhat.carefree \u201c

TROOPS DINED AND ENTERTAINED IN THE OLD COUNTRY.mere The Rev.W.Timberlake, of MeLeod Street Methodist Church, Ottawa, received the following clipping from the ¢ Methodist Recorder,\u201d London, England, anent invalided Canadian soldiers in the Old Country.On Saturday last some twenty Canadians, staying at the Buckingham Palace Road Soldiers\u2019 Home, who had marched and suffered with Lord Roberts, were invited by Lady Hope and Mr.Denny to the station, end they wère given & tx.a | Montreal to lfull is severely.comment |.this port and spend a day at \u2018their beautiful home Bus bridge Hall.Carriages met thé men at, \u2014lovely enough, they confessed, even for Canada.\u2019 At Busbridge Hall the whole resources of the grounds\u2014the lake, in which they canoed as they canoe at home on their own great lakes, the cricket pitch, the tennis court, the gardens, «nd | the fruit\u2014all were ready for their pleasure.A generous dinner and tea were spread on the lawn, and every conceivable kindness was shown them.When evening came, all gathered for a few hymns, and a most helpful talk by Lady Hope.As they drove back to the | station for the home;going train, each declared that one of their most-talked- of memories when they got home would be that day, made so delightful by \u2018he generosity of Lady Hope and Mr.Denny.Last Monday the same Canadians paid a visit to Windsor Castle, and again tasted of the thoughtful kindness of the Old Country, Colonel boats prepared so that they might enjoy a good pull on the river, and the sergeants of the same battalion invited them to a capital tea in the sergeants\u2019 mess, and sent them back with many hearty good wishes.Mr.and Mrs.Henry Griffiths opened their beautiful home at Oak End, Brom- ley, to four of the invalided Canadians, and entertained them right royally for nearly a month.We cannot help quoting from Mrs.Griffith\u2019s letter announe- ing their departure: \u2018I am sure it will be with mutual regret that we part.Their stay here has given us great pleasure, and I can safely say I never met with such a nice, intelligent set of men.\u2019 These men will soon be sailing back to Canada, the country they think the best, but they will go knowing that the heart of the Old Country is kind to all her children.triterpene MAY MEAN TROUBLE.GREAT AKMY MOBILIZING IN GABUL.Paris, Aug.22.\u2014It is

COUNCIL TO BE HELD THIS WEEK.Ottawa, Aug.22\u2014A cabinet meeting at which there will be a pretty full representation of the ministers will be held probably on Saturday, which will be the first

the Hon.William Mulock will be here within a day or two.HIGH FREIGHT RATES, GREAT INJURY TO THE ST.LAWRENCE ROUTE.The 8.8.\u2018Hiso\u2019 has been engaged by Messrs.Watson & Todd, lumber merchants of this city, to carry deals to the United Kingdom at the high rate of 75 shillings per standard.This is the highest price paid this season.At the present time a standard of deals from Boston to Hull can be shipped for thirty shillings, thus showing at what a disadvantage shippers from this port are placed in this particular instance.The payment of sevehty-five ghillings .on a standard of deals from ed upon in shipping circles as an exorbitant rate.One \u2018of the reasons given for the high tariff from this port is.the fact that the underwriters - not allow sea-going vessels to come up to Montreal, unless at an exorbitant insurance rate, and as a consequence rates are inordinately high, and have to be paid by the shippers.The high insurance tn veasels also the effect of a great dishinution in.tonnage to this port; and ét-the present time, and in fact during the whole navigation season, the number of vessels arriving at Montreal has been inadequate for the trade.A prominent member of a local shipping firm stated recently that this state of affairs would exist here until the government had placed the ship channel in a proper and up-to-date nayigable condition.Many large ship owners refuse to allow their vessels to come up.the St.Lawrence, on account of the high insurance \u2018placed upon them \u2018and on account of the .uncertainty of the St.Lawrence and the many risks to be taken thé larger -vessels in coming to ontreal.= The many lite nis aps that have occurred vessels ween hee a the Gulf this season have \u2018ales proved à detriment to trade, as it bas

it is estimated that not less than 1,200 persons enjoyed the open air concert given under the auspices of the \u2018Ladies\u2019 Aid\u2019 of the Amherst Park Congregational Church.The programme was varied and well carried out.a Salvation Army brass band furnished the greater -part of the instrumental music, and were much appreciated.The St.\u2018 Edouard brass band also contributed several selectiens, and were well received.This band has only been organized about six months, biit.i8 a credit to the locality.Much Interest was taken in the drill of the Boys\u2019 Brigade, eighteen in

LAST FIFTEEN YEARS.\u2014\u2014\u2014 Every mining camp is a litle Bohemian at first, but in time it becomes as formal and prosaic as the settled community.The Yukon is losing its picturesqueness, and the special writers wi, flocked to write it up, now find they occupation gone.The Yukon has settled down.lives strictly according to law.It bas put in drains.It has built churches and hospitals.It has erected waterworks The abeormality which marks the beginnings of a mining camp are no Mere.According to Captain H.J.Wan.side, managing editor of the * Yukon Sun,\u201d the City of Dawson is as order: as any town in the east.The Town Council makes the laws, and the police enforce them.Life and property ore as safe as in any place in Canada.Tle It | general laws affécting the whole terr.J | tory are well and impartially administered by the Federal officials.The res pectable woman has made her home in Dawson.There are other women who are not respectable ; there is a great deal of gambling going on-\u2014one man je.cently losing twenty thousand dollars g; a sitting ; but there is no disorder: there is nothing to shock the sense of propriety in a public way.Captain Woodside, who left Dawsan City in July, has, in his paper, taken the side of the government after careiy) investigation of the charges which were made against the Federal officials.He does not deny that there was some res.gon for complaint in connection with certain actions of the original officials, but a better set of men than those who are at present administering the country could not be found, while the charges preferred melted away like mist when they came to be authoritatively investigated.A certain sheet, published by aliens, \u2018made the most outrageous charges which could not be supported by a tittle of evidence ; reporters, especially women reporters, came in.from the United States, anxious chiefly tb find fault because the country belonged to the Dominion and was administered by British officials ; and even to this day you will find utterings of criticism, as, for instance, in connection with the recent citizens\u2019- committee\u2014a committee utterly without representative character, and at which responsible people only laughed.While there have been no new \u2018strikes\u2019 in the Yukon territory for some time -past, the regular claims and mines ore being worked.with great suooees; .Bv \u2018improved methods, the product is in- cteabed.Under\u2019 present conditions, the country would last five years ; when the great companies come along to work \u2018under different conditions and work the soil all over again, there will probably be another life of ten years.NOME AND MISERY.Nome is a fake, according to Captain Woodside.\u2018A transportation fake.! knew that at the time, and sid so.There was a rush, of course, and a good deal of misery ensued.Captain Woodside, who is a Manito ban, does not think he will end his days in the Yukon, although he rather likes the climate.It is cold in winter, but the cold is dry, and there are no winds.The spring and summer are delightful.Moreover, as conditions become more settled, one finds most of the things to which he was accustomed in another environment.Vegetables are being cultivated.Hay is being cut, substantial houses are going up, and the outward conditions ecem to make for perman- eney.Of course, most of the people intend to make their pile and quit.Prices have been much modified latterly, but they are still high, according to eastern notions.The \u2018Yukon Sun,\u2019 for in stance, sells for twenty-five cents a copy.The rate of pay to the printers is four or five times that which prevails in the east.The freight upon printing supplies costs as much, 1f not more, than the material itself.Captain Woodside is a loyal Cana dian, who etruck out from the shoulder at all those who sought to vilify a Bnt- ish \u201cadministration because it was British.He exposed in his paper many «i the trumped up charges against the officials.He was especially severe upou what be called female adventuresses, who came in for the purpose of making a sensation, and also of putting money in their pockets.Of Judge Dugas and the other officials the captain speaks in the highest terms.As to the ten percent royalty, that was imposed because of the pressure exerted by east and west upon the government, but there will be a new law charging three percent upon all gold exported from the country.That will meet the needs.DEATH OF MR.ELIE TASSE.he Mr.Elie Tassé, head translator of t Senate,

if so, the council could come to a decision Immediately 88 to what should be done with the by-law.- The mayor explained that the corporation may be called upon to pay a bonus.of ten percent to the company on the cost of the work if the company was compelled to lay these pipes to the north of the Canadian Pacifié \"Railway.He was in favor of extending the water supply to all as quickly ag possible.Councillor Goyer was disposed to have the work done immediately so that these residents on the north side of the railway should be supplied without delay, even if this bonus had to be paid.After some further discussion the matter was allowed \u2018to drop.n The secretary read a letter_from Councillor Paul J.Martineau, chairman of roads committee, asking that a common water course he deepened fifteen inches for a length of 8,150 feet, so as to drain off a part of St.Denis ward north of the C.P.R.track (known as the St.Denis.boulevard).The letter was referred to the road committee.It was then decided to postpone the further consideration of the by-law to grant a bonus of $25,000 to the Royal Shoe Manufacturing Co., and the council adjourned.tt - AND PASTIMES.BASEBALL.LOST ONE MORE.Rochester, N.Y., Aug.21.\u2014 Montreal could score this afternoon in only one inning, the third, when McFarlan's long triple.yielded three runs.: Score by innings\u2014 Montreal .Rochester + +2 oo oe.© SYRAOUSB.TAK ning.: Both\u2019 Willse effective.Eo Store.by innings\u2014 Syracuse .°.Toronto ve es ue ee 6 0 AT WORCESTER.3000000 SPORTS .°.0030 .4008130 8 HEART.Py oe 8 .ve R.H.E \u2018Hartford .) 0 x\u20143 Worcester .000100001-2 AT PROVIDENCE.Providerce .\u2026.000000200-\u20142 6 1 Springfield .110000100\u2014-3 9 3 STANDING OF THE CLUBS.er- Club.\u201cWon.Lost.cent.Providence .«+ «0 oo .:62 45 579 Hartford se os ee o6 ves .D6 42 571 Roche T se oe ex ve qe 86 44 .K80 Springfield .+ 4 +.D 45 226 Worcester > 00 oe aw ess D0 47 515 Toronto.+» 60 +0 B6 451 Montreal .\u2026.+.0.55 450 Syracuse .+.87 63 .370 NATIONAL LEAGUR.At Philadelphia\u2014 : - R.H.B.+ 11 New York .002000010 00021100015 6 2 .Philadelphia .AMBRJCAN.LEAGUE., At Buffale\u2014Buffalo, 3: Detroit, 2.: At Kansas City\u2014Kausas City, 4;

convention, beld recently in Minneapolis, there were some able and influential members of the Republican party, besides many delegates representing a third party, somewhat less strong than the Gold Democruts of 1896.The split in the Republican party is less serious, \u2018however, than was thè split in the \u2018Democratic party in 1896.The Anti-Imperi- alist convention having decided by re- Bryan, the split is complebe, and it.was led by some able and eloquent Republican ore- tors, such as ex-Governor Boutwell, Carl le | Sebyrz.and, Bourke Coékrén, The lead: ere and party belong te

and doubtless the inconveniences and difficulties which would attend its political union with the Aus But nevertheless the feeling in favor of entering the Commonwealth has grown greatly in New Zealand during the last year and little doubt is now entertained that it will eventually enter the federation.Provision has been made in the Commonwealth bill for its inclusion should it desire to join the union.re War between Roumania and Bulgaria might possibly involve the Great Powers, and it will not therefore break out unless it suits the designe of Russia or Germany, which is hardly likely.Roumania\u2019s population is over five and a under three and a half millions, but Roumania\u2019s euperior strength is perhaps and the dissatisfaction in regard to the government's attitude toward the Rou- meanian national movement in Hungary, .which led to revolts last year.The mass of the people in each country belongs to the Greek faith, but racially the Rouma- nias are more largely Slavonic\u2019 than Berlin, while by the same instrument Bulgaria became an eutomomous principality under the suzerainty of Turkey.But Bulgaria's military importance was greatly decreased by the treaty powers agree: ing to the demolition of all its fontifica- tions, eo that the many strong fortresses erected by the Turks to resist Russian invasion no longer exist.The two conn- tries are separated by the lower Danube, which flowe through en extensive plain, | Roumania lying to the north and Bulga: .ria oocupying the Balkan terraces to the south of the Danube and extending to the Black Sea.The Roumanian Government is greatly influenced by Russia, whose power overshadows the country .and whosd intrigues permeate its political life.An ominous aspect of the situa tion is that the king of Roumania would | scarcely venture to warn his generals to - prepare for war did he not believe, perhaps - \u2018fhistakeniy, that\u201d he would \u201chave\u201d Tad since she was granted her

found the palaces and the rublic offices completely deserted, the Emperor, as well es the Dowager Empress, Prince Ching, as well as Prince \u2018Tuan, and all the pro-foreign generals and \u2018ministers, as well as the anti-for- eign :generals and ministers having left Pekin\u2019 with the whole cburt and taken and the ancient capital of China.Ohi reliable all through the trouble, were to the effect that the court had departed\u2019 fore thie allies entered Pekin, but the formed, had reason to believe that the Emperor Kwang Su, Prince Ching, Yung Lu and some others of the pro-foreign- ere were in the Forbidden city under surveillance of the anti-foreign generals, but their belief has not been justified .the Forbidden city now state that all \u2018Have left for, Sian.There is evidently tngton.over\u2019 \u201cthe absence of {offal land.And the extent.of its mineral Toe poo ; Hi¥g a veu hearers felt quite incensed.at.ie: U nose troops and inmgente.- \u2018But since DAILY WITNESS, the occupation of the inner cities at Pekin there has only been some atreet fighting in the Imperial city and a few skirmishes with the Chinese troops, which were posted south of Tientsim.who have been dispersed.It is reported that the foreign ministers will leave Pekin and take up their residence tetn- porarily at Tientsin, but that Pekin will be occupied until a settlement has been arrived at.If railway communication can be opened up and maintained between Pekin and Tientsin it is more probable the ministers will stay at the legations for the sake of the moral effect of dictating terms of peace at Pe- kin, which is the sacred city of the Chinese.The whereabouts of Sir Robert Haut, the inspeotor-general of Maritime Customs, seems to be a mystery.Some days before the capture of Pekin it was announced that he, with the whole customs staff, had left the capital under a Chinese military escort for the coast.It is probable, however, that he is still at Pekin and if so he will be in a better position than any one else to open up\u2019 negotiations with the Imperial authorities.Li Hung Chang is not fully trusted by either the European or the Chinese governments, and the former are not \u2018n- clined to regard him as an authorized representative of the Emperor without credentials.Evidently, Li Hung Chang considered Pekin unsafe for him as long as the Dowager Empress was there, for he refused to obey the summons to re- \u2018pair thither until the allies had occupied the city.He cannot be altogether ignored, however, as he is undoubtedly the most influential official within reach of the government, and the viceroys and governors of South and Central China evidently act upon his instructions, which have so far been favorable to foreigners and the cause of peace.But if Sir Robert Hart, who holds some at least of the purse strings of the Chinese treasury, and who will have means of getting into communication with the { Chinese Court, undertakes to open nego- \u2018tations, the Imperial family, who have \u2018before trusted him with good results in | negotiating foreign treaties, will probably | puthorize him to secure terms.It is reported the Japanese cavalry havé been sérit west in pursuit of.the Imperial | Firétugees, but it is unlikely.in \u2018the.ex | sto treme that they will be able to come up | with them.The latest reports: from | Pekin séem to show that when the Imperial authorities withdrew from Pekin they left the legations completely at the | mercy of the anti-foreign troops and insurgents, who took full advantage of the opportunity afforded them and bombarded the legations heavily with both artillery.and rifle fire, at a short range, for some hours previous to the arrival of the relief column.It is only in accordance with all that is known of the condition of the Chinese civil and mili tary services that the legations were able to purchase ammunition from the Chinese themselves when their supplies be- | gan to run out; probably they were able | to purchase provisions and other supplies also as the: legations were conveniently close to a market place to which they had an entrance of their own.SURPRISED His HEARERS.\u2014\u2014\u2014omute CARDINAL GIBBONS ON WOMAN'S | RIGHTS.* Considerable interest was aroused at Southampton, Long Island, on Sunday last, by a sermon delivered in the Catholic chapel there by Cardinal Gibbons before a large and fashionable congrege- tion.His Eminence spoke on the mis pion of women in\u2019 society, and his re- | marks seemed to ecol down the enthu- giasm of the advocates of the theory of woman\u2019a unlimited.rights, who had felt somewhat elated at the prospect of a women\u2019s college being opened in con: nection with the Catholic university ait : Washington.Referring to the praise given woman by the Holy Spirit, in the Old Testament, and tbe part there attributed to her in society, the Cärdinal said that it ~{ applied to

IN MANITOBA.Winnipeg, Aug.22.\u2014The market for Manitoba wheat remains quiet and unaltered from a weeld ago 80 far as regards activity in trading.There is practically no business doing.Many of the principal dealers are away on vacation.The value in No.1 hard follows changes in outside markets, and prices lost three cents om the week, being 77 cents in store, Fort William, for spot, No.1 hard.The harvest in Manitoba progresses emid interruptions by thunder and hail storms, which, besides delaying the work, is detrimental to the sample.It.is not expected that the percentage of No.1 will range very high in the 1900 crop.Samples of new wheat have been received at the Lake of the Woods Milling Company\u2019s office from Carman; Winkler, Plum Coulee and Gretna.They all grade No.1 hard, and if they convey.a correct idea of what the total crop at these points is, the outlook is very satisfactory.Threshing at these points is well under way.Though no new wheat has been marketed, those who ask for quotations in what is now ready for shipment at country points are told that 62 and 63 cents is the figure, Brandon rate of freight.Harvesting along the M.& N.W.Railway is progressing rapidly.The yield is fairly satisfactory as compared with the remainder of the province.C.P.R.agents in all parts of the province report clear weather to-day.Winnipeg, Aug.22.\u2014Mr.R.P.Roblin, president of the Dominion Elevator Company, was asked by a reporter whether the small crop this year would have any effect on the grain buying business throughout the country.He replied that as yet he could not tell whether the Dominion Company would close any of its elevators or not.If the crops turn out fairly well, then none of the elevators will be closed, but if the crop is much below the average it may mean the stopping of grain buying in eome of the districts.The company is awaiting authentic details of the harvest before tak: ing any action, Kingston, Aug.22.\u2014The Rev.Principal Grant is home after an extensive trip east and west.He found the crops in the west not as good as hitherto, but the people are into mixed farming; they have not all their eggs in ome basket.They are good-natured, having had three good harvests in succession.Drill seeders, the farmers have learned, are valuable.\u2018Seaftering seed on top is not profitable for Much of it is lost during wind Asked for an opinion on the Dominion | political outlook, Principal Grant said he did not care to say anything at present referring to Manitoba.However, he said that the chief question of in- tereat there was as to the likelthood of a prohibition law being successfully enforced.There are probably no nro vinces in which such a law is likely to be enforced more successfully than in Manitoba and Prince Edward Island, and it will be interesting to watch the result of the experiment.The Premier, the Hon.Hugh John \u2018Macdonald, has received much deserved credit because he has carried out the promise which he made in the programme submitted to the people before the general elections.He has proved himself a man of his word.\u2014 2: ; : sun : MRS,

Point St.Charles by circulating false reposts regarding the recent death of a young man in that district.W.A.Rollo, 7 Fortune street, died a couple of days ago, and as he had been vaccinated a few days before being taken ill an attempt was made to hold the vaccination responsible for his death.Unfortunately for the agitators, poor Rollo had been under the charge of an experienced -

divisions of the C.P.R.have been calling attention to certain arievances through their representatives, who have interviewed both Mr.Tait and Mr.McNicoll, failing satisfaction from the local superintendents.These men want en increase upon their present earnings, owing chiefly to the fact that the mogul locomotive enables \u201cthe company vo increase their hauling capacity by twenty-five to thirty-three percent.While the company has put in automatic brakes, responsibility has been increased rather than lessened, while house rent in Ontario has gone up from ten to fifteen percent.With so meny men out on strike in the west, the position might be a little embarrassing, but the delegation which waited upon Mr.McNicoll yesterday is | composed of exceptionally intelligent men, who ane willing to discuss the situation in a reasonable way.The general manager met the committee with the utmost courtesy, and the whole situation was canvassed.The demand could not be complied with\u2014first, because the men are actually better paid than upon any other Canadian railway ; secondly, because the business outlook, especially as.regards the wheat crop in the North- West, would not justify an increase of wages to any class of employees at the present juncture.But the general manager was perfect: ly willing to leave the case to arbitration.This the committee would not consent to, but resolved to call in the heads of the order in the United States, Mr.P: H.Morrissey and Mr.E.E- Clarke.These are the presidents of the two brotherhoods which are concerned in the present case, and their word will be final.Mr.MoNicoll said to-day that he did not anticipate any trouble about reach- The committee was composed of a bright lot of fellows, who, he believed, would be amenable to reason, The committee, it may be stated, had not the power to submit the case to arbitration.This is reserved for the chiefs of the order, who will come to Montreal and go into the case with the It will be for the chiefs to say whether the case is ome which should be submitted to arbitration, or whether it is of a character which would justify an emphatic demand for the increase asked for.In the

.; Before thé council adjourned an animated passage at arms took place between Coun- ¢illors Latour, Bayard, Bedard and the mayor on a question involving the right of the secretary-treasurer to-give information upon certain detalls in the conditions in written contracts to which the \u2018corporation was a party.L hE - Councillors Bedard and Bayard objected to the information being given at the request of any member of the council;

way, and there were no pungtuation fiarks as sign-posts to help me find my way again\u201d \u2018Then it was that Lindeay, his goad nature exhausted by this culmination of the day\u2019s annoyances, gave free scope to his feelings.He glared vehemently at the manuscript and.vehemently spoke his mind as he began the work of revigon.His copy-holder listened dutifally and sympathetically.What a a wild jumble thin\u2019 copy ia l\u201d he seen the helpless.defor Li TB lated, mangled an \u2018disjointed in such Jat fashion es this.The: copy for the reethinkers\u2019 Journal\u2019 is the woret mud;

but when it is remembered that they have to police the great straggling city of Pekin, with ite \u2018millions of inhebitants, and to keep open the line of communications to the coast, their strength is: by no means excessive, even if it is sufficient for the work in-band;
