in\u2018 this unpleasant controversy, but Mr.Steen\u2019s letter, published in your issue to-day, leaves me no alternative.At an early stage, a perfectly true statement made by me to a reporter was slightly altered in transmission, and I have been ; by friends for not correcting the blamed by by those who do not know me have been accused of disingenuous- ness.l cannot, therefore, allow some statements made by Mr.Steen to .pass unchallenged, and, therefore, without waiting for any authority from the Toard of Governors, 1 am writing in my private-capacity.It is with-more than 1 can express that ! have always tried to mitigate the effects of the blow to a former fellow-worker and a brother clergyman, and Mr.Steen has been good enough to admit this to me and to others, who have so informed me.I pass over several points which call for just criticism, and confine myself to those which concern myself personally.Mr.Steen writes: \u2018I learned from bim (the principal) that the mind of every man on the committee, except himself, was made up against me, though I had never once appeared before them, and that there was no chance of changin then\u2019 Now what are the facts.I ha read out to the committee fifteen pages from the student\u2019s notes, which I had previously compared with Mr.Steen\u2019s notes, and found practically identical.The whole committee (including myself) agreed that many statements made were wholly indefensible.On Mr.Steen\u2019s behalf I represented that'other statements in his lectures and his answers to my questions, showed him to be orthodox, and that, further, he pleaded that these were only notes which had orally been supplemented by himself in.class.No vote was taken, but it was plain to me that all (including myself) were agreed upon One point, viz., that the lecturer who allowed his students to carry away such misleading notes was unfit to teach, whether he himself believed in them, in their literal meaning or not.In this opinion all (including myself) agreed, and were prepared to recommend _his dismissal.Upon one point, however, I had an advantage over the committee.I was clear that if judged by his own answers to my questions, Mr.Steen was not only orthodox, but was most modergte in hb views\u2014not a bigher critic\u2014sound on the books of Moses\u2014did not believe in the late date for Deuteronomy\u2014did not: even believe in two Ieaiphs.It was plain je me, however, tha eves supporng the.ing Mr.Steen himself, come to the same opinion, it would not alter the fact that the notes carried away showed him to be a bad teacher.Seeing, therefore, the inevitable result,] acted in what I thought and still think, the most friendly way could, I advised him to do what I told him I myself would do under similar circumstances\u2014forestall the action of the committee, and send in his resignation.These are the simple facts.I never excepted myself from the conclusion that he should go, but I did say to the committee that, judged by bis verbal statements, he did not hold heterodox views.Here is another wholly leading statement: \u2018The Principal, in my own study, just before the acceptance of my resignation.assured me that he would willingly ask me to remain at the college, but he had not the power.I certainly could not possibly have said this in the meaning evidently intended by Mr.Steen.I had made up my mind that he ought to go, but I was very anxious to save Mr.Steen from unnecessary hurt.and succeeded in persuading the governors to ask him to stay on to the end of the term, but certainly not further.It will be said that it is only Principal Hackett\u2019s remembrance against .Steen\u2019s, and I am content that it should remain so, for Mr.Steen has in the letter given a plain and undeniable example of his own inaccuracy.He has ob- Jected in the public press that the students\u2019 notes were not accurate.I can only say that the pages I compared wera as close to his own notes as it was possible for them to be under the circumstances, and that Mr.Steen agreed with me that the accuracy was remarkable.Mr.Steen\u2019s letter is for the most.part full of generalities as to the inaccuracies in the student\u2019s notes, but most fortunately he does venture upon one explicit statement upon which it is possible for any one to form a clear opinion.He writes: \u2018I find that they (the student\u2019s note book and his own notes) are by no means identical.For example, there is in the Archbishop\u2019s letter of reasons this Quotation from the student\u2019s note-book to wi ich some have taken strong exception: \u2018All that Schleiermacher gave us re Christ stands to-day.Not perfect or complete, we may add, but it stands.\u201d 18 passage is wholly wanting in my own notes\u201d Now, I have before me as I write the note book of another student of that very same class, and here are the words that he took down: \u2018All that Schleiermacher gave us re Christ stands to-day.It may not be perfect or complete, we may add to it, but this Work stands\u2019 The testimony of two Men is true.\"It must be acknowledged proved that Mr.Steen did dictate these very words as taken down by two independent students on Nov.7, 1899, words rien he now implicitly disowns.1f they are Dot now in Mr.Steen\u2019s notes, ither the page may have fallen out (Mr.Steen never numbered his Hees) or he must have added it orally.à ere can be no reasonable doubt that T.Steen did actually dictate the words, don though he has no memory of having one\u2019so.As to the accuracy of the oth- \u20acr quotations in the Archbishop\u2019s reasons Cannot now compare them with the ori- sinal note book, for that Mr.Steen procured from the student with whom they Le I do this, for IT: were, and retains in his own possession, but I have compared most of hem with the note book before me, and de not find any difference in the sense apd' meaning, and certäinly I have fond go, variations which are: anything more $han trivial.As to Mt.Steen\u2019s own notes; I saw and read many other pages than those specially compared, and only ceased to com: pare because convinced of the general accuracy of the student's notes.In concluding this my first and last letter in this unseemly controversy, I wish to say do not intend to take any further notice of statements as to what I said or did not say in this matter, but would ask any friend in doubt to inquire of me what I did actually say, and \u2018as for enemies I hope I have none.H.M.M.HACKETT.A CANADIAN MINT.WOULD TURN OUT GOLD COINS NECESSARY IN NINE AND A The \u2018Insurance and Finance Chronicle\u2019 makes the following interesting observations in discussing the proposal to establish a Canadian branch of the Royal Mint : A \u2018On gold coins there is no profit, but on silver and bronze the profits are considerable, the yearly average heing $94,- 000, which, Mr.Fielding said, would make the mint self-supporting.\u2018lhe cost of the mint, however, would deprive the revenue of the sum it has \u2018hitherto derived from profits on silver coinage.The amount of gold employed in Canada was stated to be $25,000,000 to $28;000,- 1.000.After this amount has been coined in order to replace American and: British gold by Canadian, the mint will simply be worked to make new gold coins to take the place of those worn out.As our gold coinage is almost wholly locked up In vaults, it is not deteriorated by use, but even if there were a large amount of gold coins in circulation experience has shown that it requires only a small re-coinage to keep the coinage in good condition.It is a very iiberal estimate to regard 50,000 new gold coins \u2018as required to keep the gold held in Canada up to the standard quality.Now, one such stamping machine as is used at the British and other national mints produces from 80 to 120 coins per minute the best results being when are turned out.At this rate the proposed mint at Ottawa would be able to supply the new coins desired; or deemed necessary, by working one day of nine hours and a quarter, leaving \u2018such machine idle for the rest of the 300 working days in each year, or occupied in etamping British coins for export to England.Time mills fer co Cana and vop- per.coins d not at #ork-more than two months every year - =; : \u201cThe \u2018making - of Brit sovijeis heavy expenses ing all the time, the\u2019 work would cost much more than the yield.The mint in England is adequate for all the requirements of the British currency.Its capacity in that respect will be increased when relieved of the: work of coining silver, etc., for a.\u2018What, then, is the likelihood of the Canadian mint being called upon to coin gold for use in Great Britain?Will not the danger be created which was pointed out so forcibly by Mr.Clouston, general manager of the Bank of Montreal, and by\u2019 other bankers, that the mint will be used to.produce Canadian gold coin to such an extent as will bring it into more general use and thereby Sisplace some portion of the present paper currency which is go acceptable, which adds so much to the available capital of the country, and which is as sound and convenient a currency as any in the world.\u2018As to national pride in a gold coinage, surely it is a higher form of pride we have now reason to indulge in, the pride of our national currency being as substantial for all mong purposes as gold itself and incomparably more convenient a medium of trade.For Canada to pay $75,000 yearly for no other object than the indulgence in a sentiment, seems like paying a fancy price for an article of merely ornamental value.When it is discovered, as it is certain to be, that the mint is not required to be at work more than half the year, the temptation will be most pressing to enlarge the production of gold coins and put them into circulation through the manifold agencies.controlled by the government, by which movement the banks will have their circulation reduced and their facilities so far lessened for accommodating their customers.A mint will make goods that are not consumed in Canada nor a profitable form of export.Its cost gives mo promise of being compensated for by its utility, as it meets no want, nor provides for any deficiency in our national system of finance and currency, \u201cwhile all our bankers are on record as regarding the proposed mint as a menace to the financial interests of the Dominion.\u2019 WHITECHAPEL HORROR WOMAN FOUND DYING IN A HORRIBLY MUTILATED CONDITION.London, May 28.\u2014A sensatiopal murder and case of mutilation has occurred in a low lodging house in Dorset street, Whitechapel, close .to the scene of the \u2018Jack the Ripper\u2019 murders of 1888.The victim, a woman named Annie Austin, 28 years old, was found dying in 2 bedroom on Sunday morning, and was removed to a hospital, where she expired.\u2018The murderer escaped, and the police were not notified of the crime until early yesterday.The murderer's long start and the total lack of a description of him render his apprehension unlikely.The wounds on the lower part of the victim°s body are too revolting for description.The woman was conscious when found, but died without making a statement.; further outrages and a panic has created ia the neighborhood.he police are apprehensive of been such coriditions-as would-exiat hère, with.RAILWAY MACHINISTS PLANS DISCUSSED BY THE PRESIDENT.Toronto, May 27.\u2014The \u2018Mail and Empire\u2019 prints an interview with Mr.James O'Connell, president of the International Association of Machinists; in which he repeats what he recently said:about action against the railways.A day, he declared, would be set by the convention, which opens in this city on June 3, for all railways in the United States.and \u2018Canada to sign an agreement whereby machinists in the employ of the raîlways.will be given a nine-hour day without FY nell.8 if FES tion before that body had met or acted, concerted move, such as was made in the\u201d case of the machinists outside of the rad.gathering in Toronto.: \u2018I estimate,\u201d said Mr.O'Connell number of machinists in the oy of the railways at about Sorty thousand, in gluding Canada and the United States.I think there are at least a million men\u2019 employed by the railways on this contin- | ent.I should eay that an eighth or a tenth of them are employed in the shops.This \u2018number includes the machinists, boilermakers, pat end their fellow-employees.There are, on this es timate, then, at least a hundred thousand men who are likely to be affected by our action at the Toronto convention.\u2019 Mr.O'Connell also intimated that all the skilled craftsmen who are allied with the machinists in a sentimental way will be asked to stand by them when the new proposition is made to \u2018the railway cox porations.- ~ Mr.O'Connell said: \u2018I among craftsmen represented in the.shops of the railway companies in the United States and in a.mean that I will seek to obtain the affiliation of all the

Trades\u2019 Asso- | ciation, and had gone back on.the agree] ments they had entered into, Mr.O\u2019Con- nell gave the statement.a qualified de- pial.He stated Jha the National Metal Trades, representing.big manufac- \u2018turing concerns, had agreed to reduce \u2018the working day to nine and a half hours \u201cin 1900, and to follow this by a reduction to mime hours in May, 1901.The metal trades desired to deel with the local unions.The International ciation of Machinists felt that it was a national matter, and that the manufacturers should deal direct with principals.In view of past riences the machinists knew that if the matter was left for the different local unions to secure their own agreements it would take about three years for the men to obtain their rights.There were other matters involved besides the reduction in hours.\u2018The men, of course, demia the same e for nine as they were receivi for ten hours\u2019 work, in addition to the regulating ofthe number of anprentices to be employed.C P.R.ENGINEERS., Toronto, May 28.\u2014The C.P.R.engineers had a meeting with Mr, H.P.Tim- merinan, general superintendent of the Ontario division yesterday, and th meet him again this.afternoon.The scale of wages for engineers which was adopted five years ago ran out on May 1, and the present meeting is to renew the scale.o difficulty whatever: is anticipated, as the changes that have been rendered necessary by the lapse of five years are very small.OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANY.SIGNS.- Rochester, N.Y., May 20.\u2014The Otis Elevator Company, the big trust concern, with a dozen or more branch establishments in various cities throughout the \u2018country, including Rochester, has signed the new agreement, which has been the bone of contention, and the striking machinists will go back to work next Monday.No reason for the concession on the part of the Otis syndicate has yet been given.It is undoubtedly true that the desertion of the Otis syndicate is a serious blow to the National Metal Workers\u2019 Association in its fight against the strikers.Yawman and Erbe have also signed the agreement, and the men are at work to-day.; The striking laborers in this city are settling down to a hard long fight, having made preparations for.continuing the fight another month.Committees ot the strikers are constantly going about the other trade organizations collecting.funds.It is reported that one loca contracting firm, the Hollister Lumber Company, is_prepared to sign the agreement recognizing the union, and a committee of the strikers will wait upon ! the officials of the company to-day.Mr.O'Connell shrugged his shoulders.| He did not care to peak for the on but had no hesitation in saying thet a} ways would be the early wesult of the J \u2018the |

her brother on Sunday afternoon, returned the following verdict: \u2018We believe \u2018that Olive Victoria Ryan met her death as the result of a wound from a bullet discharged from a revolver in the hands of her brother, Thomas Ryan.We believe that there was carelessness in loading and handling the revolver, but we believe that there was no intention éither to kill or wound on the part of Thomas Ryan.We desire to call attention to the careless: way in which the\u2019 revolver and cartridges were lying around where children could get access to them.Campbellford, Ont., May 25 \u2014Mr, Geo.aters, a well-known citizen of Camp- bellford, procured a revolver yesterday, morning and told his wife he was go: ing \u2018to the barn to shoot a cat.In a few minutes à report was heard, and Mrs.Véaters, on going to the barn, found her \u201chushand lying dead, with a bullet wound in his head.There is no doubt that the shooting was accidental.Vineland, N.J., May 27.\u2014Ward Copp, aged

Brown, of the United States Supreme Court, to-day announced the decision of that court in the insular cases.The main opinion was handed down in the De Lima case.Mr.Justice Brown first announced the court\u2019s decision, holding that the court had jurisdiction.The De Lima case involved the importation.of goods into the United States from Porto Ricd after the ratification of the treaty of Paris, and before the passage of the Porto Rican act.Upon certain sugars the collector at New York demanded end collected about $13,000 as customs duties.De Lima and.Company sued Mr.Bid- Rell, the, collector, as an individ in ork, to \u2018recover the duties :hus paid, & leging that they lad been unlawft demanded, in violation of the legislation \u20181 and collected by rhe collector, the payment of the duties being regarded sas a consideration to the delivery of the eug- ars.On the petition of the collector the suit was removed to the civil court of the United States for the southern district of New York, which sustained a demurrer to the complaint, both on the ground that no cause for action had been stated, and that the court had no jurisdiction.From the judgment dismissing the complaint De Lima and Company procured error from this court.Judge Brown said that whether the sugars imported from or into Porto Rico were dufiable depended upon whether Porto Rico was a foreign couniry.He held that the right to acquire territory involved the right to gavern and control it: by congress, but he said that a country could not be both foreign and domestic.The opinion was opposed to the contentioh of the government.He concluded that at the time the duties had been collected Porto Rico had mot been a foreign country, but a territo: the United States.7 , Mr.Justice Brown announced the opin- fon of the Court in the case of Dooley versus the United States, involving the validity of a duty levied on goods im- \u2018ported into Porto Rico from the United States between the date of military oe- cupation and the taking effect of the Porto Rican Tariff act.The Court held that there could be no doubt of the validity of the duties levied by virtue of General Mies\u2019s order prior to the ratification of the treaty of peace.It placed of the railways, .the\u201d headquarters of John Alexander | this right t ilitary \u2018As it is mow there is-no-grand cen red Dowig's

shipment of goods to Porto Rico.This case, the Court said, was similar to the Dooley case.While duties prior to the treaty were proper, those subsequent to the treaty were not.The judgment of the Circuit Court was reversed.Mr.Justice White announced the dissent of Justices Gray, Shiras, McKenna and himself.: Mr.Justice Brown next announced the decision in the'case of Jones versus Bid- well, relating to a shipment of oranges from Porto Rico to New York, after the enactment of the Foraker act.The objections to the lower court's jurisdiction were over-ruled.Mr.Justice Brown then proceeded to show the difference of the question in this case to that in the first case decided, this.difference being based on time and the course taken by the executive and legislative branches of the government.He said there was considerable divergence in the opinion of the Court in the past and too much weight should not.- be given to particular phases of past decisions, such as that referring to the supreme authority of Congress, as that might refer to the supreme authority of Congress under the constitution.After analyzing the case of Loughborough vs.Blake, the judge summed up the condi tions under which territories were not in the same position as states.A VICTORY FOR THE GOVERN- Solicitor-General Richards, who had charge of the insular cases before the .Supreme Court, to-day made a statement containing his interpretation of the decisions of the Court to-day in which he says: \u2018The important question in thése cases is whether the cession of the territory contained in the treaty of Paris made Porto Rico and the Philippines an integral part of the United States within the meaning of that provision of the constitution requiring \u2018All duties, imposts and excises to be uniform throughout the United States.\u2019 | The Court held that the cession simply made Porto Rico and the Philippines domestic ternitory of the United States subject to the full control of Congress which control could be exercised without reference to those limitations.This limitation, the Court held, was intended to apply to the states of the Union and does not apply to acquired territory: unless by treaty and: by subsequent act of Congress .it is incorporated within and becomes an integral part of the United States.The decisions are substantially a victory for the government.ey sustain to the fullest extent the so-called insular policy of the administration.The vernment now has the sanction of the Supreme Court for governing these islands as their needs require.The Court holds that the constitution did not of its own force at once apply to those ceded territories, placing their people, their products and their ports on an immediate equality with ours, and conferring upon them all the nights, privileges and immunities enjoy | Aus üpreme;- Court of the State of New Court | Inceledee, Sgt.latte people, products and ports of the several states.While their fundamental rights are preserved by those underlying principles of the constitution which apply everywhere the status of their citizena and the nature of the customs and commercial regulations are to be determined by Congress in the exercise of the power vested by the constitution in Congress to make all needful rules and regu- ations respecting territory belonging to the United States.Obviously what I have said regarding Porto Rico applies equally well to the Philippines, so that the President, under the Spooner act, can govern the Philippines as they need and their interests may require.© At the time that the Court has sustained to the fullest extent the contention of the government in these cases it has decided as a matter of statutory construction that the Dingley act could not be held to impose duties on goods brought from Porto Rico, because by cession Porto Rico became domestic territory.of the United States and therefore -ceased.a 20.be.\u2018a foreign \u201ccountry.\u201d The ?decisions of the Court call for no change in the administration of the law.\u2019 LONDON: PRESS COMMENT London, May 28.\u2014The London newspapers give scant attention to the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the insular cases, The few comments made deal principally with the \u2018confusing nature of the judgment\u2019 It is, however, agreed that the practical result is obvious\u2014that it leaves Con, free to deal with the annexed territories as it pleases.The \u2018St.James's Gazette\u2019 says: t is one of those legal fictions which had so much tô do with the development of our own institution.It is certainly a convenient judgment for President McKinley\u2019s.Government, ard will probably clear away many difficulties be- ueathed to American statesmen by the panish war.\u2019 RULES OF THE C.P.R.\u2014 RAILWAY COMMITTEE OF THF PRIVY COUNCIL.Ottawa, May 27.\u2014A meeting of the Railway Committee of the Privy Council was held to-day to consider the Canadian Pacific rules.Besides Mr.Blair there were present Sir Louis Davies and the Hon.J.I.Tarte.Sir Louis asked Mr.Burke, who appeared for the brotherhood, if he had notified the C.P.R., and he replied that he had not.Mr.Blair suggested that he should have done so.The railway company had a strong interest in the.matter, and he would like the presence of the company.Mr.Burke said that he had technical Enowledge, aud the Iules formerly ere submitted to, men who h: 3 Khis Thad: pot been done.men who had .only.a theoretical knowledge.After some further discussion.the matter was postponed until Mr.Burke ta an opportunity \u201cof meeting the C.R.One of the rules objected to is that the employee in acceptin employment assumes its risks, The fourteen days notice which employees require to give, the right to deduct fines for neglect of duty, and making the general superiu- intendent the final officer to appeal to, are all asked by the employees to be struck out of the rules.The rule making employees liable to dismissal for visiting places where liquor was sold and also the one preventing employees engaging in any business or trade without permission were asked to be cancelled.PAN-AMERICAN EXHIBITION SUNDAY .CLOSING QUESTION AGAIN BEFORE THE COURT.\u2014 Rochester, N.Y., May 27.\u2014For the third \u2018time.the question as to Sunday closing of the Pan-American exhibition was brought before the appellate division this afternoon.Since the case was last before the court the lawyers employed have agreed upon the facts on which the action is bas:d.The movement is veil- Buffalo police commissioners on the grounds that they have been derelict in performing their duties in allowing the exhibition to remain open on May 5 and 12.Attorney Westwood for the petitioner, Oscar Chapin, argued that although the governor appointed the police for the grounds, the power of the police commissioners was not abridged.Mr, Cunneen, of Buffalo, appeared in opposition to the motion.e said that the police commissioners have relied upon the fact that there was, and is, a police\u2019 force appointed by the governor doin duty at the Pan-American grounds, an believed that the exhibition police would preserve the peace and prevent violation of the law, and that they have been forced to act upon the assumption that the Pan-American police force was doing its duty.MR.CLERGUE AT QUEBEC.Quebec,

annual meeting of the Montreal Foundling and Baby Hospital took place .at the institution, 43 Argyle avenue, yesterday afternoon.The Rev.Dr.Barclay \u2018presided and there were present Mrs.À.D.MacTier, Mrs.Colin McArthur, Mrs.N.W.Trenholme, Mrs.H.MacCalloch, Mrs.D.J.Evans, Mrs.Lema: , Mi Robertson, Mrs, Simpson, Mr.J Sparrow, Miss King, Dr.MacPhail, Dr.Wild, Dr.Evans, Dr.Morley Fry; Mr.Jeffrey Burland, the Rev.James Fatter- son and others.\u2018 The opening exercises were followed by the reading of the various reports.The tenth annual report of the committee of management stated that the work of the past year had been very satisfactory, everything considered.It had been one of great encouragement to all who had the interest of the institution at heart.The general health of the \u2018children compared favorably with that of previous years; and it was hoped \u2018that this favorable condition would be more than kept up-by the arrangements for the summer months at Chambly.The requirements of the hospital had now become so urgent that a modern building was absolutely necessary at no the hope was express- distant date, and D PR of ade ole alr ade ode ade oe ode

the Quebec Legislature was thenked for its annual grant.REPORTS OF OFFICIALS.The treasurer\u2019s report showed that the receipts for the year, including a balance on band of $454 from the previous twelve months, had amounted to $6,951, and the expenditure was $189 less.The medical report stated that there \u201cwere in the hospital on May 15, last year 36 babies, and there had been admitted - since 137, making a total of 173, or an increase over the previous year of 22.Very \u2018nearly one-half the babies admitted during the year were under one week old, | and ofthese 31 were under twenty-four Hours.The tender age and poor condition in which the infants were when received tended greatly to increase the \u2018difficulty of raising them.There had been removed during the year, by adop- ion, 8; parents, 26; death, 106; Protes- fant Orphan Asylum, 1; and there re- ida med in: hospital on May 15-last, 32, |\u201c making a total of 173.There had been epidemics of diphtheria, chickenpox, .grippe and whooping cough.Pneumonia \u201cand bronchitis, in a serious form, subse- quént to grippe, carried off many of the \u2018little patients.Through the generosity of Lieut.-Col.Burland, an outdoor dispensary was shortly to be opened, where modified milk was to be supplied at cost price to the poor.\u2018The reports were adopted, and ordered to be printed.NEW OFFICERS.\u201cThe election of office-bearers resulted as follows: \u2014 .First director\u2014Miss Robertson.Second director\u2014Mrs.À.D.MacTier, \u201cTier.Third director-\u2014Mrs.D.Thomas.Treasurer\u2014 Miss Bing, ecretary\u2014 .T.Simpson.; : Executive committee\u2014Mesdames Colin MeArthur, Thomas Fyshe, V.Meredith, Montagu Allan, E.Whitehead, A.D.Blackader, J.C.Cameron; D.J.Evans, G.H.Harrower, A.MacPhail, F.B.McNamee, Thomas Watson, C.Tren- holme, N.W.Trenhoime, J.B.Bparrow, E.F.Hebden, H.MacCulloch, G.R.Robertson, A.D.Durnford and Chas.Meredith.\u2018The Rev.Dr.Barclay, who has been connected with the institution ever since it was founded, spoke of the difficulties and discouragements which had attended its establishmént and progress.It was a necessary work, however, and the public should and mo doubt would, as they became aware of its beneficent work, \u2018give it substantial assistance.Its management by the ladies had proved very .successful and he hoped the committee would receive still greater encouragement in the future.\u2026 \u201cThe report, particularly as to mortality, might seem discouraging to those who were not acquainted with the circumstances and details of the work.Sixty sercent seemed like a heavy death-rate, Pat he could remember before this insti- institutions where the mortality recorded was over ninety percent.This work was, perhaps, the most discouraging of all charitable work, but it had to be done and prospects for its future success were brightening.A member of the medical staff present referred to the question of admitting twenty-four or forty-eight hours old, and ii was stated that it was almost hope less to attempt to pull them through.1f they could be kept with their mothers a fortnight or so longer, they might, perhaps, be better able to get over the first two months of their existence, which is a very critical time.The matter will \u201cprobably be taken up by the medical Loard.The Rev.Mr.Patterson advised that .the ladies assume more direct control of the management of the children\u2019s summer home at Chambly.Lieut.-Col.Burland, who has recently become interested in and connected with the institution through the modified milk supply question, remarked that it was hoped.to.open the out-door dispensary next month.He thought that the establishment of this dispensary would bring the hospital more into contact with the public, and he thought that, per- tution in such a position that its work.tution was started and there were other W.very-young infants to the hospital, say: \u2018haps, the hospital would find the dispensary of considerable benefit.The Rev.Dr.Barclay then pronounced the benediction.MR, CALLAWAY\u2019S CHANGE RAILWAY CIRCLES GREATLY INTERESTED IN THE MOVE.Nothing of speclal public interest developed to-day in connection with the retirement of Mr.Samuel R.Callaway from the presidency of the New York Central, says the New York \u2018Commercial,\u2019 except the important fact, marking the end of his administration, that an examination of the statistics shows that the gross earnings for the year ended June 30, 1897, when be assumed his position were $44,280,139.32, and for the year ended on the same date in 1900 they were $54,562,951.78, an increase of over $10,000,000.Mr, Callaway was in constant receipt of congratulations during the day from his army of friends, who either called at his office in person or made use of the mails and telegraph to tell him how pleased they were with th& compliment paid in selecting Lim fé the#kh station he is next to fill.4 Mingled- with.these, \u201chomever, were regrets from many who would like to.ses him remain where he has been for the past several years.None were more sincere than those expressed by representatives of tle New York Central of every degree who bave been brought in contact with him throughout the entire system, and be will take with him the very best wishes of all for continued success and prosperity.It is well understood that the atceptance of Mr.Callaway's resignation is a matter of the greatest reluctance to W.K.Vanderbilt, to whom the announcement of his decision was a tremendous_surprise, ang who sought, without avail, to have him recall his determination, : It is a matter of comment that Mr.Call- away is an unusually conspicuous example of how a humble office boy can rise from obscurity to ome of the highest and proudest positions attainable in the transportation of business, through his own intelligent efforts and diligence, if, in his progress to the goal of his ambition, he has the brains, ability and capacity, to successfully deal with the varying responsibilities he has to meet as he climbs the ladder of promotion.He is pre-eminently a self- made man, as shown by the career of his record hitherto published.Broad-minded in every sense, kindness of heart and geniality of disposition, with a marked graciousness of manner, and freedom from ostentation are\u2019 among the distictive characteristics, and they have enabled him to win and hold the respect and esteem of all who knew him.His judgment is conservative and decisive, his grasp and command of all matters relating to executive administration and transportation management prompt and absolute, and his character upright to a degree It is a common belief that his mind con- celved and put in execution the plans which have materially enlarged the sphere of operation and influence of the New York Central, and brought about the acquisition of the Boston and Albany and other roads.In his acceptance of the presidency of the locomotive combination he has seized the opportunity desired for some time to grati- Iy his wish, as his friends know, to get away from active railmay life and the wearying exactions of the position he is about to vacate.As to the choice of his successor Mr.Callaway continues to decline to express any opinion beyond that which credits Mr.K.Vanderbilt with not having been able to give it careful thought, and the probability, therefore, that he has not reached any decision in the matter.NORTHFIELD CONFERENCES ANNOUNCEMENT OF

ENCOURAGEMENTS TO RURAL ; POPULATION.Among the causes of the ten : dency of.population toward cities which | has more than usually marked the bast half century, are the monotony and loneliness of country fife and the unprofit- , ablèness, except on virgin soïl, of other than high farming.The latter.is a large \u2018subject, but with regard to the former.evil much can.be done to.mend it.As a tule our country roads are | wretched; at all times they are bad and at.some times practically impassable.They lessen the value of farm products and.they add to the cost of much \u2018of the farmer\u2019s labor.This is a matter primarily concerning the rural population, \u2018a \u2018matter over which they have dontrol and : which directly concerns them \u2018one and ail.Better roads would mean better farming and more comfort and enjoyment in country life.The telephone bas done much Yo bridge the distance bétiween neighboring farm-houses and between the farm-house and the town,

THE MINES IN CAPE BRETON\u2014EFFECT OF THE OPERATIONS OF THE DOMINION COAL COMPANY.(New York \u2018Evening Post.\u2019) Halifax, N.S., May 15.\u2014Every ton of coal mined in the province pays from six and a quarter to twelve and a half cents into the provincial treasury.The Gov- \u201cernment of Nova Scotia to-day is drawing more than one-third of its revenue \u201cfrom mining royalties, and will be soon drawing an even larger proportion.No mining royalties are paid to landowners, as from the beginning of the settlement of the province the Crown has reserved the coal, and royalties have from the earliest time gone into the treasury, and have been used in meeting the civil expenses of the province.The coal lands, however, have been of real importance to the province only since about 1860.They were little valued as late as 1826, for in that year a blanket lease of all the coal areas, developed and undeveloped, was granted by the Colonial Government to the Duke of York for sixty years for a payment of three thousand pounds sterling a year.The lease was turned over to a group of company promoters in London, who in 1 organized a company, now prominent in the industrial end political history of Nova Scotia, as the General Mining Association of London.: - About 1830 the Mining Association began to work mines in Cape Breton and at Pictou and other places on the mainland of Nova Scotia; For a long time, however; the market for coal was small, and the association\u2019s monopoly .was of little value.As soon as it became of value, the York lease became a storm .centre in provincial politics.© In 1857, in response to the popular demand, the legislature semt a deputation to London to confer with the directors of the Mining Association.The association agreed to abandon its claims to the unopened and undeveloped coal lands on being given an undisputed fitle to certain: coal areas in Cape Breton, Pictou, and Cumberland 8 possession for thirty years.\u201d These mines the association continued to work.If obtained a renewal of its lease, and until twelve months ago, when its undertak- .ings\u2019 were \u2018bought out by the Nova Scotia Iron & Steel Company,\u2019 the association was still in the Cape Breton field.oo - This resettlement.of the coal lands in 1857-8 forms a landmark in the industrial history of the province.At the time it \u2018was made 120,000 tons of coal were being \u201cmined annually in Nova Scotia, as compared with 12,000 in 1827, the.year before the Mining Assoéiation was organized.A mining code was enacted after the resettlement.under which leases -coul granted to mining companies for a period of eighty years.Embodied in the code were provisions establishing the royalty system, and preventing \u2018any \u2018company from abtaining control ever a large area of ool lands, - Ur free trade in min- ping-thua estabfinhel,Ttex on ne companies came Into existence.At this time the Elgin-Marcy.treaty wes in force, and a large trade in sea-drorne was \u2018built up with the New England States.Work was brisker than ever before at the mines, and the shipping of the Maritime Provinces was profitably employed in transporting coal to New England, and also up the St.Lewrence to Quebec and Montreal.The abroga- a stroke put an end to nearl American trade.St.Lawrence was gradually increased; al Railway in the middle seventies, access was given from the coal fields to inland towns- of the Maritime Provinces.By 1890 the output of the Nova Scotia mines had reached 1,786,000 tons.During this period, that is, from 1838, when the monopoly of the Mining Association came to an end, until 1890, the government received a royalty of seven years Nova Scotia was apprehensive of anything approximating to another monopoly, and the commotion to which the ly impressed itself on the popular mind to admit of any laxity on the part of the government in its guardianship of the coal lands.In 1891 the royalty system was revised, and a uniform royalty of ten cents a ton was established.Following these changes of 1891, there came in 1892 the radical change in policy io- wards the coal areas which led to the N ! run | organization of the Dominion Coal Com- freight car for carrying milk to the city.pany, and to the enormous development which: in the last five or six years has taken place in the coal industry of Cape Breton.A lawyer in Halifax conceived the idea of consolidating the Cape Breton.county mining properties, ut the scheme was engineered by Mr.H.M.Whitney, and it was at Mr.Whitney's instance that the mining code was so amended as to make possible consolidation ofthe mines in the neighborhood of.Sydney.Mr.\u2018Whitney offered a royalty of twelve and a half cents a ton, two and a half cents a ton more than had been fixed by the act of 1891, in return for power to consolidate, for leases extending over 119 years, and for a guarantee, embodied in an act of the legislature, that the mining royalties should nat\u2019be increased.There was some outery that another monopoly would be created.The answer was that there would be no development of Nova Scotia mines on a scale corresponding to that in America, unless capitalists could be induced to go into mining who were prepared to embark in it on a large scale, and equip the mines with the most modern and effective machinery.To allay popular apprehension, the Dominion Coal Company was confined to the county of Cape Breton.But the reserves of coal in Cape Breton county are enormous; and today the company is in possession of areas from which it has been estimated that 2,500,000,000 tons of coal can be mined.The Dominion Coal Company has created an entirely new and a large market \u2018for Sydney coal at Boston.From 1893 to 1900 it mined 8,687,892 tons.on which the royalty was $1,085,892.The independent coal companies in the same 01,545.From 1901 there will be three counties, with exclusive: be.tion of the Elgin-Marcy treaty

1891, ten cents à ton.The Dominion Company will pay twelve and a half cents, under the charter of 1882: while in respect of the coal supplied |p this company to the Dominion Steel Company at Sydney\u2014estimated at 1.60.000 tons a year when the whole of the steel plant has been installed\u2014the rate will be six and a quarter cents x 1g Last year royalties were paid in respect of 2,997,546 tons of coal, yielding to tue government $353,102.This year it 4 estimated that the output of ail the Nova Scotia mines.will be 4,000,000 tons- and in a very short time, in consequenre of the opening of new mines in Cane Breton county, the fostering of the export trade in Europe, and the contemplated installation of a second steel lang the total output of coal in the province will be 6,000,000 tons.This will mean that fully two-thirds of the revenue of the province will be derived from minin, royalties.Subventions from the Domip.ion Government now furnish ahout ope.third of the revenue; so that if expend; tures are kept on somewhere about thei resent level, little or no taxation wij ave to be levied to meet the expend tures on education, highways, and bridges, and the ordinary expenses of the civil government of the provinces, TORONTO CONSERVATIVES MESSRS.BORDEN AND MONK ON THE STATE OF THE PARTY.Toronto, May 28.\u2014Toronto Conservatives last evening tendered a reception to Mr.R.L.Borden and Mr.¥.D.Monk, the Conservative leaders, and to Mr.J.P.Whitney, the leader of the Opposition in the Ontario Legislature.The main body of the large hall and the first gallery were filled with a large asserbl of ladies and gentlemen.Mr.W.J Hambly, president of the Toronto Lib- eral-Conservative Association, occupied the chair, and \u2018hundreds of the leading Conservatives and\u2019 representative busi ness men of Toronto were on the platform.' Mr.Whitney, who was the first speaker, dealt with the record of the Liberal party of the day, \u201compared with its standing at the time of confederation.The record of the Conservative part was altogether different.They had ha a steady policy, a constructive policy, the fruits of which the country was today reaping by the prosperity the whole Dominion was now enjoying.The Conservative party had given the country, the national policy, a policy which the present Liberal government found such a good thing that they had, on attaining power, shown no hesitation in adopting it.Mr.Whitney also claimed that the Canadian Pacific Railway had been given to the country by the Conservatives, concluding hie speech with eulogistic comments on Messrs.Borden and Monk and a review of the work done by the Ross government in Ontario.He said when fr.ror rio ped Assumed, the leader.pr ad form a \u2018ormid- SO progress Gr mide prone ment-of country toads, efe., not an ifem corl| of which had been carried ou « tt.Mr.Monk, who was loudly cheered on rising to speak, referred to the state of the Conservative party in the province of Quebec, which, he assured his hear ers, wes not dead, but alive and doing.He criticized the present federal govern: ment for the increase in mental expenditure, and in the public debt, and expressed his hopes of brighter times for -his party in Quebec.Mr.Borden, who was also warmly received, condemned the ernment for bringing down, in the closing days of the session, 269 items dealing with work of public expenditure in various parts of the Dominion.Parliament was expect ed to go fully into these 269 items, and examine them, a thing which, under the circumstances, was physically impogsible.(Hear, hear.) He favored a movement for some sort of a system of muiœl preferential trade within the empire.(Applause) There was now a great party in England that favored such à licy.Concluding, Mr.Borden said he elt quite certain that after the net provincial election Mr.Whitney would ecome premier of Ontario, and also that in the next Dominion general elections, when the methods of the present government will be better understood through out the country, the Conservatives woni1 again be returned to power.After tha audience had given three cheers for the King, and the Conservative leaders, the meeting was brought to a close.CHURCH DEDICATED.Sherbrooke, May 27.\u2014The new Congregational Church at Waterville was dedi cated yesterday.The church has been under construction for the past six months,

city for.any theatre license, and that they would not_individually or in company with any other person, ask for or derive from any such license.\u2018This: the applicants agreed to.In the cases of Brisson and Goyer, the commissioners were unanimously in.favor of granting them a hotel license, but Mr.Recorder Poirier differed from his\u2019 colleagues in regard to Burdette.He was in favor of granting the latter applicant a restaurant license only, giving as his reason that, after agreeing to give up -his café concert if he got his liquor license, Burdette, it seemed, had attempted to get back the permission of keepin: a theatre.He had also been repot for selling Hquor on Sunday.The majority of the commissioners were, however, in favor of granting Bur- dette a hotel license and it Was granted'accordingly.This means that for a year, at least, there will be no café con- 8 in Mon .Licenses were also granted by the commissioners as follows: \u2014 : To A.Mercier, at 1825 Notre Dame

SITUATION.Toronto, May 27.\u2014The call for the annual prohibition convention of the Province of Ontario and the annual meeting of the Dominion Council of the Al- lance for the Total Suppreasion of the Liquor Traffic will be issued to-morrow The secretary, Mr.F.8.Spence, made this statement regarding.this mmport- ant gathering to sthe Witness\" correspondent: \u2018The days set apart for them are July 9 and 10.No doubt the question of the improvement of existing legislation wiH receive a good deal of attention, and the proposal to enlarge the scope of the Scott act, as adopted at the annual convention of the Quebec Alliance, will receive careful \u2018consideration.Soott act improvement is a live question in the Maritime Provinces, where the act 5 in successful operation over a great deal of territory.PARLIAMENTARY ACTION.\u2018The meetings in Toronto will consider the question of immediate parliamentary and electoral action.The House, of Commons has definitely dedared against the immediate enactntent of national prohibition, but holds out a promise of some legislation.The indefiniteness of this promiee is very unsatisfactory, and it is manifest that our legislators will only advance under the strong pressure of public demand.Pending the.final decision of the courts regardmg the constitutionality of the Manitoba prohibitory law, prohibition workers are feeling a good deal of anxiety and uncertainty.There is unfortunately among many \u2018of our friends a readiness to be too much affected by any immediate friction or delay, We must deal wisely with all such difficulties, accepting what we cannot.gvercome, relying.upon.J eousness of our cause, which is certain to triumph in spité of temporary hindrances.ONTARIO GENERAL HLECTIONS.\u2018The imminence of a general election in the Province of Ontario will make necessary such organization and effort as will secure a legislature definitely committed to supporting the provincial government\u2019s \u2018avowed policy of prohibition to the limit of the province\u2019s ascertain- The \u2018license law of Ontario is sadly out of date.In some respects it is inconsistent and contradictory, It \u2018has from time to time been changed without due consideration of the general character and intent of the law, so that it has become a piece of patchwork legislation that is difficult to comprehend.For a number of years there has been practically no progress made excepting \u2018some slight: changes for the convenience of liquor sellers, amd the increase of the government's revenue from the traffic.A year ago an official statement was made on behalf of the government to the effect that this inon- grel law was to°be revived and consolidated.The promise has not yet been carried out.\u2019 The Alliance eecretary expressed the opinion that investigation would show that \u2018prohibitory legislation rather than any adaptation of the Gothenburg system was the right policy for Canadian temperance workers to adhere to.HUNTINGDON W.C.T.U.ANNUAL MEETING AND ELECTION OF OFFICERS.At the annual meeting of the Hunt'ng- don branch of the Women\u2019s Christian Temperance Union,

young girl was seen making among the rocks and trees, and screan:- plainly\u2019 that she was hysterical.Two or three gentlemen made their way up and brought her down to the road, when it was seen that she was a young girl of about fifteen, well dressed and of a very respectable appearance.Her face was terribly scratched and bleeding, and hes clothes torn with the underbrush.It wis some time before she recovered enough to give any account of herself.When she did her story was that she had been up the mountain with three or four other girls, and in some way had become scp- arated from them.Subsequently she had been accosted by a man whom she\u2019 described as an Italian, and she became so frightened that she made a bee line down the mountain side at very, neatly its.steepest part.Frightened with the thought that the man was pursuing her, with the gathering dusk and ignorance | \"i.was\u2019 no::wonderL} Shas the poor snl bears.Biehl À a e poor girl becami YS terieal;

Boers wounded, 36; Boers captured, 267; Boers surrendéred, 53.There have been captured 246 rifles and 200 rounds of small arms ammunition, besides a large undetailed capture, including 178 waggons and a number of horses.\u201d Co The co: ondent of the \u2018Times\u2019 in the Vaal River Colony, vnderstanding that the situation in the eastern psrt o: the Cape Colony was not satisfactory, went to Cradock to inquire mto affairs.He telegraphs from there that the presence of Kritzinger, Scheepers and Malan in the colony has been the open.sore of the campaign for three months, and has grown within a fortnight from a chronic annoyance to more serious prominence.There is po doubt that Kritzinger re-| turned to the Orange River Colony to interview General De Wett, and then returned to Cape Colony.Whether he was accompanied by General De Wett cannot be learned.The correspondent describes the more: or less fruitless efforts of the British to dislodge Scheepers from the Graaff Reinet district, and Kritzinger's break south with 600 or 800 men, and says: \u2018It is doubtless Krit- zinger\u2019s intention to attempt a coup on one of the townships in the Midland district.Otherwise he would not be moving such a concentrated force.Given twenty-four hours start se would be able to furnish his commando clothes ard foodstuffs for a considerable period if| he could occupy any of the larger villages.As such a coup, if attempted, would mean heavy fighting, the next few days may witness events of importance in the history of the invasion of the colony.Kritzinger, even if he has only five hundred men, will probably fight, and a glance at the map shows what is within his reach if he fights or evades with success any of the columns now concentrating to defeat his object.The .main cause of his continued success as a bandit is that the country is full of Boer sympathizers, who willingly supply him with information.DOINGS IN CAPE COLONY.Capetown, May 28.\u2014The official summary of the week\u2019s military operations shows that Col.Henniker has driven Scheepers\u2019s \u2018commando from the hills at Graaf Reinet, on the Somerset boundary, to the hills fifteen miles north of Aberdeen.JLetezan\u2019s force is still hovering aboat Zuurberg, where two hundred invaders are reported.;

eager to become citizens ot a reco status, and to be classed as part of \u2018the populace; willing to abide by he laws of the Dominion; true to their faith and creed, honest in their ways and dealings, the Doukhobors bear no malice, they retain no spite.Loving and affectionate to his kind and kin, the Doukhobor feels that he is not an eman- cipist.He realizes the line of demarka- tion between himself and his fellow Ca- nadjan, and longs for its termination.He is willing and ready to assimilate with his neighbor.He: is true to the flag; be honors the King; he is a Christian, a citizen and a friend: Such was the eulogy propouneed by.Mr.James hwell, of iverpool, who has just returned from an | extended visit to the North-West: Territories.- a Mr.Ashwell was pleased fo find that the general: health of these\u2018 people was good, \u2018and: that there were.evident signs of \u201cproepetity on all sides.They; were becoming .recoriciled to their western homes, and the communistic idea was not so evident as -it-was a year ago.He found the sentiment in favor of independent action growing amongst them, especially with the younger element.\u201d In one case, for instance, a man has provided a special brand for his own cattle, and in othér ways individualistic methods of yes.Ashwell pointed out what he considered was inconsistency on the part of those who had expressed themselves against thèse settlers living in communities, because from: inquiries he had made it was evident that the first settlers in Manitoba and the North-West did exactly the same thing.Large numbers of the pioneers of the great west, he said, lived on the community system, so close together on both banks of the Red and :Assini- boine rivers that when the land was ap- |.portioned to them thé government was compelled to give them \u2018strips in some cases of only a few hundred feet in width and running back for miles.he community system in old days for mutual benefit and \u2018protection lasted for many years, and if, under the careful guidance of the Department of the Interior, these Doukhobors were already being taught to depend upon their own individual action, and are in fact breaking up their villages and going.to live on their.own homesteads, too much credit could not be given to those who had been instrumental in bringing this change about.To those to \u2018this idea Mr.Ashwell had only one recommendation to make, and that was to visit the Doukhobors themselves, and: they would discover-} that in two years a large number of thege\u2019 people had become to a large extent self: supporting on their own land\u2014a condi: airs \u2018which the: most sanguin promoters: of this immigration had mot dared to-hope'for wher the movement vés first inaugurated.The most: hit ter opponent of this immigration should carefully compare their condition after being only two years in Canada with the conditions of those who first settled in what are now called the older parts of | the Canadian west, and no man could help feeling confident that the Doukho- bors, who were so anxious to learn the English language, would in the course of time rank among the first of Canadian agriculturists.; r.Ashwell -was pleased to note the regard these people entertained for ev- bing Canadian.In one village.Mr.Ashwell visited he found \u2018a man at work with a home-con- structed lathe turning the leg of a chair, and in another village there was in operation a home-constructed loom, showing that these cople are rapidly falling into the way of helping themselves by making their own machinery.- Jt is usual, I understand,\u2019 said Mr.Ashwell, \u2018that public works such as erecting bridges over the rivers should be constructed with government aid; the Doukhobors have not, so far as IL could learn, asked for any such assistance, but last year erected a large and well-con- structed bridge over the Swan river, and \u2018they have just completed the comstrue- tion of a new and substantial bridge across the Assiniboine river, and are at work making the approaches necessary for each side of the construction.In addition\u2019 to these bridges, they have also \u2018constructed a ferry which they operate for the convenience of themselves and the general public without charge, and are now preparing to grind their own grain by wind power, having erected two windmills for this ial purpose, and in my opinion, notwithstanding their stubbornness on some points.which they-do notas yet understand, and which is born of sheer ignorance, and a want of ability at the present time \u2018to, distinguish between free British institutions and Russian autocracy, the above facts indicate the right kind of material amongst these people to make good and creditable set- tiers) : Continuing, Mr.Ashwell said that in one village the Doukhobors had constructed an excellent graded road with a ditch on either side and.crossings in front of .each house, and had already erected and \u2018arranged a house for school purposes.It was surprising, he said, to find the settlers in the immedi- i such a deep interest: in these people, while unfortunately others at a remote distance do exactly the reverse.Several farmers he had met during his visit to the district were loud in their condemnation of the Doukhobors, for the*reason that, like people in eastern: Canada, they had not studied.these people nor had they in any way exerted themselves in trying to ascertain the exact position of the newcomers.Concluding, Mr, Ashwell felt sure the Department of the Interior and the immigration officials had taken the wisest and best course regarding these people, and that highly beneficial results to the country at large would be evident to every one.e had seen occasion for | differing with sentiments and methods of assistance given to these people by private individuals, and desires to place on record that\u2019in his opinion everything regarding the settlement and welfare of ful, to make of the Do \u2018in the -cies.AN AE RD IR re ST bf ii Yo PEN rp sen A roe, \u2014 the Doukhobors should, as in the case of all other settlers, be done directly by and under the immediate control of the authorities, and not under private auspices.There was no doubt in his mind taht the department thoroughly understood the problems and could,reach a s0- lution.of them, and he thought they should be aided by people in the country in their efforts, already partially success- hobors contented and prosperous settlers and to let them realize in every sense of the word that under British rule they were free from all tyrannical oppression.: THE CONFESSION OF FAITH TEXT OF THE RESOLUTION ADOPTED YESTERDAY FOR REVISION.Philadelphia, May 28\u2014To the Rev.Dr.James Moffatt is due the eredit of having -bwought the commissioners to such a harmonious conclusion respecting the revision of the Confession of Faith.When the recommendation was on Saturday adopted by a comparatively small majority, Dr.Moffatt -announced that in view of the divergency of opinion he would to-day offer an amendment, which he hoped would meet with the approval of the entire assembly.When he presented this amendment to-day it was instantly accepted by the commiesioners and the adoption of the report as a whole followed with bart.little delay.A viva voce vote was taken, and when 640 ayes responded to the question the commissioners arose and sang \u2018Praise God from whom all blessings flow,\u201d which was followed by a.prayer of thanksgiving by the modérator.The recommendations as amended and finally adopted by the General Assembly, and which will be the guiding star for the revision committee in its work of revising.the Confession of Faith, are as fohows:\u2014 ; A.\u2014We recommend that a committee as provided for by the form of government, chapter XXITI., section 3, be appointed by this assembly.B\u2014(Dr.Moffatt\u2019s amendment)\u2014 We recommend that this committee be instructed to p: e¢ and to subm¥ to the next General Assembly for such dis- ition as may be judged to be wise, a brief statement of the reformed faith, expressed, as far as possible, in untechni- cal terms.The said statement is to be prepared with a view to its being employed to give information and a better understanding of our doctrinal beliefs, and mot with a view to ite becoming a substitute for, or an alternative of, our Confession of Faith.\u201d C.We further recommend that this committee be instructed to prepare a debate of Chapter III, Chapter X., Section 3; Chapter XVI., Section 7; Chapter XXII, Section 3, and Chapter XXV., jon 6, of our Confession of Faith, either by modification of the text, or by, declaratory stetement, but so far as possible by declaratory statement, so as more clearly to express the mind of the Church with additional statements com- cerning the love of God for all men, missions and the Holy Spirit.It being understood that the revision shall in no way-impair the integrity of the system called of.doctrine set forth in our Confession; and taught in the Holy Scripture.\u2019 WORKMAN HERESY CASE DEPOSED PROFESSOR FINDING POWERFUL CHAMPIONS\u2014 NEW DEVELOPMENT Toronto, May 27.\u2014A new development Workman heresy case has again raised the hopes of the deposed Victoria University professor's friends that he may ultimately be reinstated.This development is the open announcement of Mr.) Massey's espousal of Dr.Workman's cause.The Workman case has a number of points in common with the Steen episode at Montreal.Dr.Workman was an esteemed and popular professor at the Methodist university.is teaching vas in some points divergent from the traditional with respect to the interpretation of c&rtain prophe- Having the courage of his convic- tione, he made no secret of them, put maintained that they in no wise antagonized Christian verities.he upshot was his deposition from the Victoria faculty.; The publication of a book, maintaining the value of the Old Testament, written by Dr.Workman, and published by the Methodist Book Room, brought down upon the writer withering public denunciation from the Rev.Dr.Carman.The book, in addition to being written m the interests of orthodoxy, being a reply to an iconoclastic work by Prof.Goldwin Smith, \u201cwag endorsed in an eloquent preface of commendation by the Rev.Chancellor Burwash, president-: of Victoria University.À futile attempt, \u2018Witness\u2019 readers will remember, was made at the Bay of Quinte Conference, to secure an official investigation of the tform chargas made by Dr.Carman.but that dignitary refused to recognize the investigation and ruled it out of order.The attitude of the laity of the Methodism of Toronto is indicated by Dr.Workman: having last fall been invited to conduct a teachers\u2019 Bible class every Saturday at the Central Methodist Church.After hearing Dr.Workman's teachings for the past six months, those attending have presented Prof.Workman with a signed address expressing the \u2018hope that\u2019 Dr.Workman\u2019s ripe scholarship may soon have full scope in one of our higher institutions of learning.\u2019 Mr.W.E.H.Massey, chairman of the building committee of the Board of Regents of Victoria University;

The Dominion of Canads it now being threatened with, and in some places invaded by, smallpox {rom her neighbor, the United States.This in itself woul hardly call for remark.Communication of infectious disease from one country to another is a very ordinary form of international courtesy.In the present instance, however, the outbreak of small- ox presents some unusual features.lt Pegan on this continent several years ago in the United States, the Southern States especially.It has gradually spread northwards.1ts origin is difficult to establish, either as to time or place, with any historical accuracy.It has been attributed by many to returning soldiers from Cuba or from the Philippines.But it is certain that it was prevalent in the United States before the beginning of the war between that coun- pain.The difficulty in tracing back its history is due in great part to the unusual mildness of the type, Many cases of it were diagnosed as chickenpox; many as German megsles.Many more were not reported to, or seen by, any medical man at allow extensive is the spread of the disease in the United States may.be judged by the fact that the Public th reports published officially by the government at Washington give a total of 11,964 cases: as reported present in that country during the od of three months between Becem r 28th, 1900, and March 29th, 1901.| Ls How mild the type is may be judged by the fact that in these 11,984 cases, only 157 fatal cases are reported to have occurred.This would only be 1.31 percent.Further, the number 11,984 may, for reasons given above, be taken as very much under the actual number ot cases that have occurred, whilst the fatal cases were doubtless all reported.The roportion of deaths to cases was, there- Fore, in all probability, considerably less than this 1.31 percent.It has been suggested that the mildness of the type is due to some meteorological condition.Against this theory is the fact that, during the period since its commencement, we have had at least one intercurrent outbreak of a very virulent form of the disease introduced from the Orient.It was quickly limited and stamped out.But in the score or so of cases that occurred, the mortality ran up to over 50 percent.The extreme mildness of the present disease has defied from time to time our.efforts to prevent its entrance, ard has rendered it unusually difficult to handle, control and stamp out.Severe cases of smallpox are, as a rule, too ill to leave their beds, and are eager to obtain medical attendance.This leads to notification, isolation, disinfection and vaccination of those who have been exposed to the infection.And so we have a reasonable expectation of limiting the outbreak.] But this type offers more difficulty to he public health authorities.There 15 as t a rule but.little initial fever, very sparse \u2014 FROM THE CAPITAL Rumor Connects Minis, ter\u2019s Name With Imperial Privy Council, HERSCHELL\u2019S SUCCESSOR LORD MINTO

Court of Canada, till euch à time as some definite arrangement is mde between the colonial and home gover.ments respecting representation on the Privy Council.The very general in pression has been that Sir Louis Davies was to succeed Judge King.The ony consideration which might seem to thror any doubt on the likelihood of such a event, is that the probable appointmen of a Canadian to the Privy Counei is one worth waiting for, and Sir Louis ha the best chance of getting it.e Solici tor-General would bardly be put over Sir Louis\u2019s head; and the Minister of Marine and Fisheries has made seven! slatements of late, which have bem taken as practical admissions that he will in the near future vacate his place in the Canadian cabinet.For the ve cancy there Mr.D.C.Fraser's name is quite as likely as that of Mr.Emmer son, who has been so frequently men tioned.The salary of the represent tive\u2019 on the judicial committee would be three times that of a Supreme Court judge.LORD HERSCHELL\u2019S SUCCESSOR.Regarding the cable despatch to the effect that Lord Rosebery was likely to be appointed to fill the place on the Joint High Commission left vacant by the death of Baron Herschell, no av thentication can be got for the report here.Inquiry from the government rath er tends to contradict the suggestion.Baron Herschell was a member d the commission not because of his

coun to another, not only in the period of incubation, but often also in the early period of the eruption, and thus spread the disease generously and widely.We have had outbreaks of it.in several of our provinces and territories from the Yukon to Nova Scotia.It is present in eleven of the fourteen states of the United States, which, from Alaska to Maine, inclusive, border on Canada, with an aggregation in them alone of 4,433 reported existed cases.It is present amongst us in several localities at this time.There is, therefore, grave reason to fear its continuance and spread.Vaccination is not compulsory in Cariada as a legislative enactment, although the municipalities have power to enforce it under certain conditions.That this disease is smallpox is questioned by many.The following facts, however, in connection with it give a reasonable assurance that it is smallpox and not chicken-pox.It attacks adults -quite as often as, or indeed more often than, children.It attacks the unvae- einated or those who have not been vaccinated for some time.It does not at- \u2018tack those who have been recently successfully vaccinated.Every here end there a susceptible person develops a severe confluent or even fatal case.The threatening and even the presence of this mild form of smallpox interrupts and interferes more or less with trade and commerce, travel and traffic.Tt is not, \u2018however, an unmixed evil.Many may pase through its lenient hands with- | out much illness, pitting or mortality.Many, very manv more, will be vaccinated for fear of it.Between the two classes a large proportion of the people of Canada should be rendered immune to smallpox.And so for some years the Dominion may be safe from any severe epidemic of this disease.tlre.TWO FATAL FIRES.Tilsonburg,
