the occupation was anent.There was a regular population; there were gendarmes; there were local fishing organizations; and both islands were centres for smuggling.The French had a consul in Newfoundland, but they refused to allow one to be sent by the colony to Miquelon.The French consul was little better than a spy.He received, of course, no official recognition from the Newfoundland Government, but nevertheless he performed the duties of consul.This was another grievance.CONFEDERATION DEAD.As to confederation, Mr.Morris said that chapter was finall SWES@ ALROBETDER CRISE om they were when negotiations were entered into with Canada.Canada did not offer enough to enable the people to maintain wbat local services would be left after confederation, without direct taxation.The colony had all the services for, a kingdom, and yet she had only two hundred thousand people.Had she ten millions, there would not need to be any extra public service in the way of lighthouses, railways and the like.The colony exported seven millions\u2019 worth of products last year.She made $75,000 from tourists.She had built a thorough system of railways; she was beginning to exploit her minerals, and industries were springing up.There was a surplus last year,an there would be a larger one this.Confederation was dead.As to annexation, the sentiment did not exist.They were loyal to the empire which supported them, and asked for nothing in return.With regard to the Reid contract, Mr.Morris said that the Hon.Mr.Bond had gone fully into the matter with Mr.Reid previous to leaving for London.All in the colony believed in the integrity of Mr.Reid.Certain modifications would be made in the terms of the contract, but Mr.Reid would be represented before the board of arbitration, and nothing would be done which would in any way damage Mr.Reid\u2019s interests.There were those who thought that too many concessions had been made, but the government and Mr.Reid had reached an understanding.Nothing would be taken from Mr.Reid without ample compensation.mr QUEEN VICTORIA WHY SHE DISLIKED GLADSTONE\u2014 New York, April 17,\u2014The \u2018Quarterly Review,\u2019 according to the London correspondent of the \u2018Ttibune,\u2019 contains a remarkable article on Queen Vietoria, unsigned, but evidently written from a precise and intimate knowledge during a period of fifty years.It throws a new light upon many secret passages in the history of the reign, and contains a series of fresh anecdotes illustrating the Queen\u2019s characteristic traits.of trenchant humor and racy talk.The explanation given of the Queen\u2019s prejudice against Mr.Gladstone is that it started in the suspicion that he gave her too much work to do, until she was, as she put it, \u2018dead beat\u2019 He tried in his eagerness to press her to do what she considered to be his work, and when she resented it and he renewed the attempt she formed a pertinacious prejudice against him which never was removed.The author states that it was always an element in her reticence with regard to Mr.Gladstone that he was too High Church and had the mind of a Jesuit.The Queen\u2019s own attitude toward religion is discussed judiciously.The headship of the Anglican: Church or the Scotch Presbyterian she considered to be a part of the business of statecraft, and did not trouble her conscience about it.Probably the form of service which she preferred was that.of the Presbyterian Church, but-she was a broad churchwoman, with no curiosity about creeds.She liked Roman Catholics much better than Anglican: Ritnalists.\u201d.- VERDICT FOR JUDGE DUGAS: IN © HIS SUIT AGAINST THE \u201d \u201d \u2018COLONIST.Victoria, B.C., April 17.\u2014The jury yes- damages against the \u2018Daily Colonist\u2019 for publishing an interview.taken from a Skaguay paper, in which it stated that the judge had given a decision in regard\u2019 and in which he was interested.The: paper \u2018had previously apologized -and deposited twenty-five dollars in \u201ccourt to been caused through thus instructing his directors to bring action.On this ae- Dugas should pay the costs incurred after the twenty-five dollars had been deposited and reserved judgment on the curred previous to: that time.\u2014 : Pa, April 16\u2014Five young lads\u2019 oT age from eight to twelve years, found a bottle of crude als coh T in the woods near 8 terday aud drank freel A it A Sper ave Emply put their bounty in their \u2018Swortsley, is ead, so not d to live.closed.The | Rev.RG.difer-l Donel T.Bi sion, and advocated -schools obtaining or «had to be larger in con: terday dwarded Judge Dugas-one- dollar to lens on claims worked by his som, | cover any financial loss the judge had\u2019 count Judge Mertin ordered that Judge\u2019 point as to who should pay he: costs in- = ;

and there are some signs to.be quoted in favor.of 4 his opinion.There can be no doubt that |- the suffering of the landlord class, which |.has been almost.as greaf.in many: dis-\u2019 tricts as the same suffering in the same class in some English counties, has made.the ancient supporters of the throne impatient and \u201cirritable, especially in con- | sidering a \u2018world-policy,\u201d which, as they | clearly see; if it benefits anybody, will benefit commercial men and not them- |: selves.The peasantry, though their interests are not quite identical, share the landlords\u2019 prejudices, as 18 evident from the number of ians returned by them \u2018to the Reichstag; On the other band, the mercantile and manufacturing | classes, with the workers who dépend on | them, -and who ought to be the counter- \u2018poise of the Agrarians; are cruelly dis- \u2018appointed.They were all to be \u2018enriched.wide \u2018commerce protected \u2018bya splendid\u2019 till great banks.have been endangered, .all shareholders in industrial undertai- ings feel poorer, and wages are kept down forcibly to their existing point, which is-far from a high one.Private expenditure diminishes: in Germany, work \u201cdiminishes, profits diminish, and all the while the Government demands Count von Bulow pledges himself that there shall be higher duties.on food.There is a \u2018general sense of malaise, Bis- \u201ccry for the \u2018retürn.of our- millions as well as our legions,\u201d and which no doubt ists, as well as.of those Liberals whose complaint is not of this or that project;

it is he who raises.the price of bread and under whom the mills are stopping, and they are enraged with him.It is the natural recoil which always punishes any -one, King or Minister or employer, who arrogates to him- \u2018gélf too \u2018exclusive a control over the lives of a whole community.The Em- perot: is fortunate in.having subjects who, do \u2018not hold him responsible for the : ;:ab the Nespohtans-used £0 hold: the: favor, and go.on steadily till the wün-comes, out ~ and he is praised \u2018for the light he did-not bring\u2018es l\u2019causing, but he will be wise:if he opens the safety-valves a little and allows freer criticism: of \u2018his acts.That, however, is probably the one thing he will not \u2018do.cause.they can always see that the critic is less instructed in.the facts than they are, and -kings aré statesmen trained to demand an exaggerated personal respect.\u2019 They feel rongh handling to be a sort of impiety: James II.excepted from a general amnesty some fishermen who had | roughly searched him in his flight, and kings who read- the story wonder.why it is quoted as evidence \u2018of the want of proportion in: James's mind.To Count svon Bulow a wound: such as the \u201cEmperor suffered\u2019 would: have been a wound and nothing more; an exasperating nuisance, perhaps,\u2019 but: still only a wound.To the.Emperor-King it is that and: an in: sult as.well,\u2019 and also a proof that the general : mind must be becoming -deror- alized, if not already utterly bad.The Chancellor would have appealed to the laws; the King appeals to the Almighty and \u2018the bayonets of his Guard.It is natural enough as kings are, but it is mot a good \u2018omien for his future relation with his people.\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u201cBISHOPS COLLEGE | \u2018CONVOCATION OF MEDICAL AND ©.DENTAL.FACULTIES.: Aa y pra ie The fi) ¢ conybesd vocation.ôf he mel \u2018faculty of \u2018Bishop's.College and: the gion tal College was held yesterday afternoon in the Synod: Hall, which was decorated for the occasion with the colors and devices of the two colleges.Di.John Hamilton, chancellor of the college, presided.\u201d Among those with him on thé platform were the Bishop of Quebec, the Rev.Principal Whitney, the Rev.Dr.Ker, thé Rev.G.Abbot Smith Mr.F.W.Frith, and Drs.F.W.Campbell, Giles, Fiske, Anglin, Reddy, McConnell, Ross, Berwick, Henry, Mai Maussett and Fauchere.The Bishop of Quebec opened with \u2018prayer, .after which the chancellor reviewed the events of the past year, al- ho to the death of Queen Victori ad given the university its royal who dustry and speculati 4 and.\u201cworld-: 2 \u2018charter.\u201cHe also \u201cspoke of thie university\u2019s loss inthe retirement from the -chancellorship.of Dr.R.W.Heneker, and its gain in the appointment of the Rev.Dr.Whitney as principal.| Mr.G.Oswald Smith had resigned to take a higher position in Trinity College, Toronto.\u201cThe Lennoxville puildinge, had been greatly: improved through the Robert Hamilton memorial fund, but more was: \u2018needed.The legislature could not be \u2018expected to give any more than at present;
