chief clerk.Close attention was given td the reading of the message by all - the senators.Printed copies of the document were dis tributed among them, the majority \u2018 of whom followed the reading from their copies.An abstract follows: THE PRESIDENT\u2019S MESSAGE.To ihe Senate and House of Representa- ives: The Congress assembles this year uvder the shadow of a great calamity.On the sixth of September President McKinley was shot by an anarchist while attending the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo, and died in that city on the fourteenth of that month.Of the last seven elected Presidents, he i3 the third who has been murdered, and the bare recital of this fact is sufficient 10 Justify grave alarm among all loyal Aineri- can citizens.Moreover, the circumstances of this, the third assassination of an American here, have a vecullarly sinister significance.Both President Lincoln and President Garfield were killed by assassins of types unfortumately mot uncommon in bistory: President Lincoln falling a vic- tm to the terrible passions aroused by four years of civil war, and President Gar- Held to the revengeful vanity of a disappointed officesseeker.President McKinley was killed by an utterly depraved criminal belonging to that body of eriminals, who object to all governments, good and bad alike, who are against any form of popular liberty, if it is guaranteed by even the Most just and liberal laws, and who are 2s hostile to the upright exponent of a {ree people's sober will as to the tyrannical and irresponsible despot.© President Roosevelt, after eulogizing the late President as a public man of loity 1n- : tegrity.a salient soldier and a man of broad kicdliness of matube, takes up.ihe! question of \u2018inarehy.NO ROOM FOR ANARCHISTS.The anarchist is everywhere,\u201d the mes- Eage says, \u2018not merely the enemy of system and cf progress, \u2018but the deadly foe of : liberty.If ever anarchy\u201d ts triumphant, its triumch will last for but -one red wno- mert, to be succeeded by '@ great gloomy night of despotism.- No man or body of men preaching anarchistic doctrines should be allowed at large auv more than it preaching the murder of some specified private individual.Anarchist speeches, writings, and meet- es are essentially seditious and treasona- 1 earnestly recommend to the Congress that in ibe exercise of its .wise.discretion Ii should take into consideration the com- 10g iuto this countrv of anarchists or persons professing principles hostile to.all government, and justifying the murder of these placed in authority.Such individuals as those who net lung ago gathered 0 Open meeting to glorify the murder of King Humbert of Italy, perpetrate a crime.2nd the law\u2019 should ensure their rigorous Punishment.They, and those like them, should be keot out cf the country; and il found here they should be promptly de- : ported to the country whence they came: 2nd the far-reaching provision should be ade fer the punishment of those who stay.No matter calls more urgently for the wisest thought of the Congress.Anarchy is a crime agafnat the whole human race.and all mankind should be against the anarchist.His crime should be made an offence against the law of nations, like piracy.and that form Of man-stealing known as the slave trade; for it is of far blacker \u2018infamy than cither, T1 should be so declared bv treaties among all civilized powers.Such treaties would 8ive to the federal government the power of dealing with the crime.\u2019 THE TRUSTS.The message refers to the abounding pros- +1 to disturb the perity of the country and says of industrial conditions: The tremendous and highly complex :4- dustrial development wich went on witz ever accelerated rapidity during the latter hall of the nineteenth century brings us face to face, at the beginning of twentieth, pou very sërious social problems.The eld laws, and the o!d customs which had olmest the binding force of law, were once quite sufficient to regulate the accumula- tinn and distribution of wealth.Since the industrial changes which have so enormously increased the productive power of mankind, they are no longer sufficient.It 18 not true that the rich have grown richer the poor have grown poorer.On the contrary, never before has the average man, the wage-worker, the farmer, the small trader, been so well off as in the country und at the present time.\u2018There is a widespread conviction in the minds of the American people that the #reat corporations, known as trusts, are hurtful to the general welfare.This springs from the spirit or envy or unchari- tableness, not lack of pride in the great industrial achievements that have placed this country at the head of the nations struggling for commercial\u201d supremacy.\u201d It does not rest upon a lack of intelligent appreciation of the necessity of meeting changing and changed conditions of trade the fact that combination of eapital, in the cffort to accomplish great things, Is necessary when the world's progress demands that great things be done, It Is based upon sincere conviction that combination and concentration should be not prohibited but supervised \u2018and within reasonable limits controlled; and, 1n my jüdgment, this conviction is right.Corporations engaged in interstate commerce suuuld be regulated if they are found to exercise a license work- inz to the public injury.\u2018The first essential in determining how to deal with the great industrial combinations is knowledge of the facts\u2014publicity.In the interest of the public, the government should have the right to inspect and examine the workings of the great corporations engaged in Interstate business.Publicity £s the only sure.remedy which we pow invoke.What further remedies are needed in the way of governmental regulation, or taxation, can only be determined after publicity has ween upserved, by process of law, and in the course of administration.The first requisite is knowledge, full and complete\u2014knowledge which may be made public to the world.\u2019 Other means of regulating trusts are federal supervision over all corporations doing inter-state commerce business and the creation of a cabinet office to be known as the secretaryship of commerce and industry.The immediate re-enactment of the Chinese exclusion act is recommended.Present immigration laws, the message continues, are unsatisfactory.Anarchists and all persons of low moral tendency should be excluded and careful educational and econgmic test applied to all immigrants.RECIPROCITY.Regarding the tariff and reciprocity, President Roosevelt says: \u2018There is general acquiescence {in our present tariff system as a national policy.The first requisite to our prosperity is the continuity and stability of this economic \u2018policy.Nothing copld be more unwise than business.interests e \u2018tari \u201cchi coun in are; t ha IROL, HE avold in the interest of our commercial and material well-being.Our experience in the past has shown.that sweéplug Te- visions of the tariff \"are apt to.produce conditions closely.approaching .pani¢ in the business world.Yet it is not only possible.but eminently desirable, to combine with the stability of our economic system a supplementary system of: reciprocal benefit and obligation with other nations.Such present economic policy.It was specially provided for in the present fariff law: \u2018Reciprocity \u2018must be treated as the hand- maidea of protection.Our first duty is to see that the protection granted by the tariff, in edery case where it is needed, is maintained, and that reciprocity be sought for, so far as dit can safely he done, without injury to our home industries.Just how far this is.must be determined according to the individual case, remembering always that every application of our tariff policy t> meet our shifting national needs must be conditioned upon the cardinal fact that the duties must never be reduced below the point that will cover the difference between the labor cost here and: abroad.The well-being of the wage-worker is a prime consideration of our entire policy of economic legistation.Subject to this proviso of the proper protectinn necessary io our industrial well being at home.L principlé of recicrecity mist command our hearty support.: \u2018I ask the atténtion of the Senate to the reciprocity treaties laid.before it by my predecessor.\u2018Legislation for the restoration to the ocean of the American merchant-marine is urged.Attention is called to.the fact that foreign vessels are subsidized, but na suecific recommendation is mad to Congress for a \"ship subsidy law.\u2019 : | \u2018The wisdom of the inter-state commerce i law.bas been shown,\u2019 the\u2019 message con- forcement of its provisions are defective.The law should be amended.\u2019 - \u2018Attention ds cailed to the department of Agriculture durirg the past fifteen years.\u2018Co-operation in \u2018the preservation of the forests and the reclamation of the.vast expanse of arid lands in the west is recom- | Pr onsiderabl is given to the new \u2018Considerable space is giv à stand possessions of the United States.\u201cPorto Rico is thriving as never before; in Cuba.such progress has been made toward putting the independent government of the \u2018island upon &.firm footing that before -the | present session of Congress closes, this will be an accomplished fact; and a 3reat- er.measure of material prosperity and of governmental honesty and efficiency has been attained in the Fhilippines than\u2019 ever re in their history.\u2019 before 1 THE ISTHMIAN CANAL.The message advocates a cable to Hawall and the Philippines, and: continues: + .\u201cNo single great material work which remains to be undertaken on this continent \u2018is of such consequence to the American pearle as the buildig of a canal across the Isthmus connecting North and South America.Its importance to the nation is by ! po means limited merely to its material of- | fects upon our business prosperity and yet | with the view to these effects alone it ! would be to the last degree important to ! us immediately to begin.While its beneficial effects would, perhaps, be most | marked upon the Pacific coast and the * Quif and South Atlantic States, 1 ould also .greatly benefit other sections.Ii emphatically a work which it is for the in- \u2018terest of the entire country to begin and ! complete as soon as possible; it is one of ' thase great works which only a great nation can undertake with prospects of success, and which, when done, are not only i permanent assets in the nation\u2019s material interests, costructible ability.\u20181 am glad to be Able to announce to you in certain of their features and tendencies : with new methods, nor upon ignorance of : reciprocity 1s_an incident and result of the: firm establishment and preservation of ouri tinues, \u2018but the means devised for the en-.MONTREAL, .that our negotiations on this subject with { Great Britain, conducted on both sides in a Spirit of friendiiness and mutual good will and respect, have resulted In my being able to lay before the Senate a treaty which i ratified will enable us to begin prapara- tions for an Isthmian canal at any time and which guarantees to this nation every right that it has ever asked, in counec- tion with the canal.In this treaty, the old Claytcn-Bulwer treaty, so long recognized as inadequate to supply the base for the construction and maintenance of a necessarily American ship canal, is abrogated.It specifically provides that the United States, alone, shall do the work of building and assume the responsibility of sale- guarding the canal and shall regulate its ; neutral use by all nations on terms of | equality without the guaranty or interfer- | ence of any outside nation from any quarter.The signed treaty will at once be laid before the Senate.and, if approved, Cop- gress can then proceed to give effect to the advantages it secured us x providing for the \u2018building of the canal.Ÿ \u2018The true end of every great and free people should be self respecting: peace ; and this nation most earnestly desires:s cere and cordial friendship with allo Over the \u2018entire worid, \u2018ot-\u2019recëgt wars between the great civilized \u2018powers have become less and less frequent.\u201d Wars with barbarous or semi-barbarous people ; come in an entirely different category, being merely a most regrettable but necessary international police duty which must be performed for the sake of the welfara of mankind.Peace can only be kept with certainty where both sides wish to keep it; but more and more the civilized people are realizing the wicked folly of war ard are attaining that condition of intelligent regard for the rights of others which will, in the end, as we hope and believe, make world-wide peace possible.The peace conference at the Hague gave definite expression to this hope and belief and marked a stride toward their a%taininent.~~ THE MONROE DOCTHINM., \u2018This same peace conference acquiesced in our statement of the Monroe doctrin® as compatible with the purposes and -aims of the conference.; \u2018The Monroe doctrine should be the cardinal feature, of the foreign policy of all the nations of the two Americas, as it is of the United States.years have passed since President Monroe, in his annual message announced that \u2018\u2019The American continents are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future coloni= zation by any European power.\u2019 In other words, the Monroe doctrine 1s a declaration that there must be no territorial aggrandizement by any non-American power ai the expense of any American power on America soil.It is tn no wise \u2018intended as hostile to xy nation in the old world.Still less is it intended to give cover to any aggression by one new world power at the expense of any other.It is simply a step, and a long step, toward assuring the universal peace of the world by securing the possibility of permanent peace om this hemisphere.\u2019 The President devotes much time to the Monroe doctrine, and leaves the topic with these words: \u201cOur people intend to abide- by the Monroe doctrine.and- to.insist \u2018upon it as the us the only means of making.our upon, Manro tine.any : ; > ; pefite Which comes to us as of right to the Just man armed; not the peace granted on; ! terms of ignominy to the craven and the weakling, Four thousand additional sèa- men, and oné thousand additional Marines should be-provided; and an increase: in the officers provided.It is not necessary to increase our\u2019 army beyond its.present size at this time.But.it is; nécessary to Keep it ot the highest point of efficiéncy.The | individual units who as officers and enlisted ; men compose this army, are, we have good reason to believe, at least- as: efficient as those of any other army in the entire world.\u2018It Is our duty to see that their training is of a kind to ihsure the highest possible expression of power to these units when acting.dn combination.TREATMENT OF THE INDIANS.\u2018In my judgent.the time has arrived when we should definitely make up our mind sto recoguize the Indian as an individual and not as a member of a (rive.The General Adlotment \u201cAct ds a mighty pulverizing engine to break up the tribal mass.It acts directly upon the family and the individual.Under its provisions some sixty thousand Indians have already become citizens of the United States.We should now break up the tribal funds, doing for them what allotment does for the tribal lands, that is, they should be divided into individual holdiregs.A stop should | be.put upon the indiscriminate permission to Indians to lease their allotments.The effort should be steadily to make the Indian work, like any other man, on his own \u2018ground.\u2018 The marriage laws.of the Indians should be made the same as.those of the whites.\u2019 - ; President Roosevelt \"endorses the Charleston and the St.Louis Exhibitions and ' praises the work done by the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo.He reveiws the .| Chinese troubles.and alludes to the Pan- American Congress, and .remarks: \u201cMy predecessor communicated -to the Congress the fact that the Weil and La Abra awards.against Mexico have.been adjudged by the highest: courts of our coun- trv to have been obtained through fraud and perjury on the part of the clalmants, and that in accordance with .the acts of the Congress, the money remaining in the hands.of \u2018the Secretary of State \u2018on.these awards has been returned to Mexico.A from Mexico on' these awards had been i paid by this government to the claimants before the decision of the courts was ren- « dered.My judgment \u2018is that Congress ; Should return to Mexico an amount equal \u2018to the sums thus already paid to the : claimants.4 \u2018The death of Queen Victoria caused the \u2018.pecple of the United States deep and Heart- ; felt sorrow.to which the government gate full expression.\u2018When President McXin- ley died.our nation in.turn received from | every\u2019 quarter\u2019 of the British Empire ex- | pressions of grief and sympathy no less i sincere.The death of the Empress Dowager Frederick of Germany also aroused the genuine sympathy of the American\u2019 people, and this sympathy was cordially recipro- .cated by Genmany when the President was : assassipated.Indeed.from: every quarter of the civilized wonlkd we received, at the timé of the President's death, assurances of such grief and regard as to touch the hearts of our people.In the midst of our \u2018affliction we reverently thank the Almighty | that we are at.peace with the :nations of ; mankind :and we,firmiy intend that our it would » policy shall be such as to continue unbrok-' | en.these interatioal relations of \u2018mutual respect and goéd will.\u2019 MORE REMOUNTS, St.John, Dec.3\u2014The steamer \u201cMonmouth\u2019 sailed yesterday afternoon for vers placed on board in two hours and a alf.Dal à standing monumet to le Africa with 781 horses.The horses TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, Just seventy-eight': only sure means of: secuning.the peace of: the western.hemisphere.\u201d The navy offers.| dent \u2018may desire ?considerable portion of \u2018the money received ;

(b) that there were and now are ;in Manitoba, a number of wholesdle lii quor dealers, engaged in buying and sell- | ing liquors by wholesale within the pro- { vince, and in importing liquor by whole sale into the province from other provinces and countries, and in exporting from such province liquor so bought and imported ;.and (c) that many transactions took place and still take place ;in purchasing and selling liquor between residents of Manitoba and esidents .of other provinces and countries both by way of import into Manitoba «nd export therefrom, and the Government of Canada derive revenue both from the importation or liquor into Canada and the manufacture of: liquor therein.\u2019 The THE MANITOBA CASE.Council, referred certain questions based \u2018 gate\u201d has it authority\u2019 to declare it illegai for.ada, to carry on the trade or business | Supreme Court, after hearing the arguments, held that the Legislative Assembly of -Manitoba had exceeded its powers in enacting the Liquor Act as a whole.To the questions numbered from 2 to 9 inclusive, they answered, \u201cNot as part of the Liguor Act.\u201d Tney \"id not see fit to give an answer to questions 10 and 11 in the present case.From that judgment the present appeal was preferred by special leave of His Majesty in Council.Following is the report of the judgment published in the London \u2018Times\u2019 of Nov.23: Lord Macnaghten, in delivering their Lordships\u2019 judgment, said in July, 1900, an act was passed by the Legislature ol Manitoba for the suppression of the liquor traffic in that province.The act, which was known by its short title of the Liquor Act, was to have come .dnto operation on June 1, 1901.Before that date on a reference under Chapter 28 of the Revised Statutes of Manitoba, the Court of King's Bench pronounced the whole act to be \u2018unconstitutional.: Trom that decision the present appeal had been brought.Althoszh the questions submitted by the Court of King's Bench were eleven in number, the only one considered in the court, below and argued before that board was the first\u2014 \u2018Had the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba jurisdiction to enact the Liquor Act, and, if not, in what particular or respect has it exceeded its power?\u2018lo that the answer was given, \u2018It exceeded its powers In enacting the Liquor Act as a whole.\u201d The other questions were either of an academic character, or such as could be material only in the event of the act being declared partially and not wholly unconstitutional.\u201d No answer that could be given to any of those questions would be of any practical value.Their Lordships, therefore, would confine their attention to the subject to which the judgment of the Court of King\u2019s Bench and the arguments at the Bar were addressed.The question at issue depended upon the meaning and effect of those sections in the British North America Act, 1867, which provided for the distribution of legislative powers between the Dominion and tue provinces.The subject had been discussed before the Board very frequently and very fully.Mindful of advice often quoted, but not perhaps always followed, their Lordships did not propose to travel beyond the particular case before them.The drink question, to use a common \u2018expression which was convenient, if not altogether accurate, was not to be found specifically mentioned either in the classes of subjects enumerated in section 91, and assigned to the Legislature of the Dominion, or in those enumerated\u2019 in section: 92, and.thereby appropriated.to.provincial legis: \u2018other liéuôrs.\u2018as-provided by sections 47, | latures.The omission was probably.not TÉL and EE Provided by seotions id accidental;

No.16, rather than No.13, and that seerned to their Lordships to be \u2018the better opinion.: In legislating for the Suppression of the-liquor traffic, the object in view was the.abatemeñt or nreveutinn of a local evil rather than Tie regulation of property and civil rights\u2014though, of course.no such legislation could.be-carried into effect.without interfering more or less with \u2018property and civil rights in the province.\u201d Indeed.if the case were to be regarded as dealing with matters within the class of subjects enumerated in No.13 it might ba-questionable whether the Dominion Legislature could have authority to interfere with the exclusive jurie- diction of the province in the matter.The controversy, therefore.seemed to be narrowed to this one point: Is the sub- jeet of \u2018the Liquor Act\u201d a matter of a merelv local nature .in the province\u2019 of Manitoba, and does the liquor Act dea} with it as such?The judgment of the beard in the tase of \u2018The Attorney-Gen- eral for Ontario vs.the Attorney-General for the Dominion\u2019 had relieved the case from some, iI not all, ot the difficulties which appeared to have presented themselves to the learned judges of the Court of King\u2019s Bench.The board held that a provincial legislature had jurisdiction to restrict the sale within the province of intoxicating liquors so long as 7s legislation did not conflict with any legislative provision which might be competently made by the Parliament of Canada.and which mishkt be in force within the pro- provincial legislatures PRICE ONE CENT.| vince or any Uistrict thereof.Ii held.\u201c further, that there might be cireum- | stances in which a provincial legislature night have jurisdiction to prohibit the manufacture within the province of intoxicating liquors ana the importation of such liquors into the province.For the purpose of the present question it was ime : material to inquire what those cireum- { stances might be.\u2018The judgment, there- i fore, as it stood, and the report to her late Majesty consequent thereon, show- | ed that in the opinion or that tribunal | matters whicli were of a local or private | nature \u2018from a provincial point of view'\u2014 ! to use expressions to be found in the i Judgment, were not excluded irom the : category of \u2018matters of a merely local or * private nature, because legislation dealing with tliem, however caretully it might ; be framed, might or must have an eÂect ; outside the limits of the province; and might or must interfere with fhe sources \"of Dominion revenue and the industrial pursuits of persons licensed under Dominion statutes to carry on particular trades.The Liquor Aet proceeded upop a tecital That \u2018it Is expedient to suppress the liquor traffic in Manitoba by prohibiting provincial transaetons in Ë uor\u201d That was the declared object of the legislature set out at the commencement of the act.Towards the end of the act there occurred this section: \u2018119.While this act is intended to prohibit, and shall prohibit, transactions in liquor which take place wholly within the province of Manitoba, except under a license, or as otherwise specially provided by this act, and \u2018restrict the consumption oT \u201ciquor within the limits of the province of Manitoba, it shall not affect bona fide transactions in liquor between a person in the province of Manitoba and a person in another province or in a foreign country, and the provisions of this act shall be construed accordingly.\u201d Now that provision \u2018was as much part of the act as any other section contained in it.It must have its full effect in exempting from the operation of the act all bona fide transactions in liquor which came within its terms.It was not necessary to go through the provisions of the act.It was enough to say that they were ex: tremely stringent\u2014more stringent probably than anything that was to be found in any legislation of a similar kind.Unless the act became a dead letter, it must interfere with the revenue of the Dominion, with licensed trades in the province of Manitoba, and indireétly at least with business operations :beyond the limits of the province.\u2018I'hat seemed clear.And that was substantially the ground on which the Court.of King\u2019s Bench declar- -ed the act unconstitutional.But all oh- jections on that score were, in their Lordships\u2019 opinion, removed by the judgment \u2018of the board in the case of \u201cI'he Attor- -ney-General for Ontario ¥s; the Attorney- \u2018General fo; the: very able an of Chief ris.\"Ètre: gin f ¢otdnsel Eupport.of their thatthe Legislature of Manitoba.had in passing the Liquor Act.\u201cTheir Lordships would therefore humbly advise His Majesty that the judgment of the Court of King\u2019s Bench of the province of Manitoba, dated Feb.23, 1901, ought to be discharged, and that in lieu thereof there ought to be substifuted the following answers to the eleven questions submitted to it: (1) In answer to the first question \u2014That the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba had jurisdiction to enact the Liquor Act; (2) In answer to the questions numbered 2 to 11, both inclusive\u2014That no useful answer could be given to these questions.There would be no costs of the appeal.: Mr.Haldane, K.C., the Hon.H.Camp: bell, X.C., attorney-general for Manitoba and Mr.R.O.B: Lane, jr., were counsel for the appellant; thé Hon.Blake, Ko and Mr.F.H.Phippen (both of the Canadian Bar) for the respondents; Mr.E.L.Newcombe, K.C.for the Dominion Government.The arguments\u2019 were heard last July before a board compdôsed of- Lord-'Hob- Lord Robertson and Lord Lindley, when judgment \u2018vas reserved.Ir THE DANISH -WEST INDIES.Copenhageü, Dec.3-\u2014A full agree ment has been mark and the United States for the sale of the Danish West Indies.will probably be signed this week at Washington.The price fixed is between four and five million dollars.Washington, Dec.3.\u2014Up to the close of business hours no word had reached the State Department confimatory of the reported \"agreement bétiveen .Denmark and the United States.for the sale of the Danish West Indies.: The negotiations looking\u2019 to the acquisition of the islands: by this government are believed.however, to.be in such a state that\u2018an agreement between the interested parties, if not.already .reached, is almost approaching -completion.\u2014\u2014\u2014 RARE EDITION OF BYRON.London, Dec.8i\u2014A rare printed edi don of 1807 of Byron's poems on vari ous occasions, with three original verses in Byron\u2019s band.writing, - was sold at Notheby\u2019s.yesterday for £129.COLDER Kamloops, 40, 36;

STAFF.The Minister of Public Works.has ad- | dressed the following letter \u2018to Mr.David: Seath, secretary, of the Harbor Commis sion: \u201cI receivéd in \u2018due time your communé-|.gation, of Nov.'23, and perinit me to uestion of equipping the wharves in the port of Montreal, 5 , \u2018You will perhaps be good enough to remember that early in the season I put myself in communication with the different public bodies, with the general managers of railways, ete.\u201cI transmitted to your commission the opinions of these public bodies.\u2018On July 31 I asked your commission if it could prepare a general plan that would include the warehouses, freight sheds, switches, ete.\u2018On Aug.23 you sent me, by order of the commissioners, a copy of a plan prepared by Mr.Kenne y.\u2018 \u201cThis plan contains several interesting features, but as it was not complete in its details, and in view of the importance of the question, I gave orders to two engineers of the Department of Public Works to prepare for my guidance a plan and estimates of the cost of the works to be executed.\u2018Then the construction of the elevator came up for discussion.\u2018It goes without saying that in the preparation of the plans of the carriers on the wharves we must not forget that the freight sheds and derricks should be constructed and the railway tracks located.\u2018Your commission knows that in order to \u2018construct permanent sheds, etc: it is necessary to build permanent foundations.The want of freight sheds and 1 other means of modern equipment has been strongly felt by the business of the port.Up to the present time nothing definite has been suggested to my department inasmuch as this important part of the port equipment is-concerned.\u201cYour commission cannot ignore the fact that none of the wharves are ready to receive the rails, permanent sheds, derricks, ete.f I am well informed, the firs{ quay built is to be raised three feet, \u2018The shore wharf is not completed, the centre one is undër construction, and it was for these reasons that I believed that there wds no urgent netéfsity of approving of the plans which in any case demanded discussion and consideration be- for being finally accepted.Is hould also add that your commission has not yet sent me an estimate of the cost of Mr.Kennedy's project.There i is no plan of the details of the sheds, ete., pro- \u2018posed.\u2018If your commission desires it, I will appoint one or two engineers of mv department to diseuss with your staff the plans to be prepared.I propose also to ask.the opimons of the railway and steamship companies before coming to a final decision, but I think it would be an excellent idea if your engineers and those of my department could Meet and prepare a preliminary plan.\u2018T will always be very happy to give you all the assistance in my power.\u2019 A TENANT'S RIGHTS.Judge Loranger on Saturday granted the plaintiff $100 damages in a case of Grace

190).Ps THE MAYORALTY.Dr.E.P, Lachapelle Spoken of as a Candidate Against Mr, Prefontaine THE DOCTOR SAYS HE HAS NOT YET DECIDED, BUT MAYOR PREFONTAINE SAYS IT HAS BEEN SETTLED.For some time there have been rumors about conneéting the name of Dr.E.P.Lachapelle, chairman of the Provincial Board of Health, with the mayoralty, as à probable candidate against Mayor Pre- fontaine.This morning it was stated very.definitely that the doctor had accepted and would be a candidate.The statement received general credence, and was commented upon at the City Hall as if it was an accepted fact.Even Mayor Prefontaine regarded Dr.Lachapelle\u2019s candidature as a settled fact,\u201d The Mayor stated this morning that be understood that the decision to bring out Dr.Lachapelle as a candidate for the mayoralty had been arrived at at a caucus held in the \u2018Patrie\u2019 office last night.The.Mayor added that Mr.Doran had been got out of the road by the promise of the late Ald.Farrell\u2019s seat on the Harbor Board, while, as an inducement to accept the candidature for the mayoralty Dr.Lachapelle had been promised on behalf of Mr.Tarte one of the vacant.seats in the Senate.: Dr.Lachapelle himself distinctly denied to a \u2018Witness\u2019 reporter this after: noon that he had accepted the candidature.He added: \u2018I have not yet been really asked to present myself.Some of my friends have spoken about it, but I have not been really asked formally to \u201ccome out) \u2018But if you are asked to come out will you be prepared to do so?\u2018Well, as to that I cannot say.One hesitate to say.what ke will do -in -a contingency like that until he has been asked.- The impression ft by the doctor's remarks was that he would take such an offer into consideration.\u2019 \u2014-\u2014 .WEST WARD.There is already some electoral activity in West ward and the names of several prospective candidates have been mentioned.Many of the electors are anxious.that Mr.George Caverhill, of the great hardware firm of Crathern & Caverhill, should present himself, and a requisition in his favor will probably be circulated in a day or two.\u2018MR.L.O.DAVID , MAY BE APPOINTED LIEUTEN-

elevate the Hon.Davil Mills, Minister of Justice, to the Supreme Court Bench.Lieutenant- Governor Jetts is to succeed Mr.Mills: in the Cabinet, and will be the government candidate in St.James's

INTERESTING CASES WERE HEARD YESTERDAY.Yesterday afternoon the license com- newals of liquor licenses for the year beginning May 1, 1902, as reported elsewhere.There were three oppositions considered.The first was that of the Rev.Father Adam, priest of the Sacré Coeur Church, His opposition was signed by 80 of his parishioners, and was to the effect that no liquor license be granted to any one in his division, No.6, St.Denis Ward.J.N.Tetreault, at No.207 Mount Royal avenue, which is in the above-named district, had applied for a license, and the reverend Father was there personally to oppose the granting of it.As there were some names on the license application that were also on the opposition, the commissioners postponed the consideration of the case for a week to allow of an opportunity to compare \u201cthe signatures on each petition.The next opposition was from the Jesuit Fathers against the saloon kept by William Wray, Bleury street.This saloon is situated in the immediate vicin- ty of the Jesuit Church and College, and the church authorities asked that the license be not renewed for next year.Mr.Archambault, chief of the revenne ihe premises were qualified as by law required.The place wes kept in an orderly manner, and no complaints had been made against ie _ Mr.Recorder Poirier expressed himsel as disposed to grant the a a year longer, and advised the applicant to remove to some other place.The other two commissioners were not prepared to set aside the earnest petition of the church authorities, and would give the matter careful consideration, and render their decision next Monday, The application of Francis Joseph Tru- aisch for a license in the Campbell property, 216 St.James street, was opposed by the Dominion Alliance.Mr.Carson, the secretary, claimed that a number of names attached to the application were not qualified electors, and that the /| removal of these would leave the number under the required twenty-five, This case was also put over to next Monday at the request of the applicant\u2019 counsel.The signatures are sworn to as bei duly qualified electors, so that iF the contention of the Dominion Alliance is

In this connection a communication was read from Mr.Mullarkey, accepting the route as recommended by the city SUrveyor.Several modifications are suggested, to be inserted in the by-law.It was decided to ask the attorneys for an early opinion on the point.as explained by Ald.Ames.A WARRANT ISSUED.Mr.Lemire was arrested on a warrant yesterday, charging him with perjury and defamatory libel.Brought before Mr.Lafontaine he pleaded not guilty to both accusations, and was released on bail of $800, until the preliminary investigation, which will be opened \u2018on Fconsidéréd in: time, but that was no*- \u201c© Ag Ald.Jacques.refused to withdfaw, Wednesday.The complainant in each case is Mr.» Lo = J.BE.Doré, sanitary engineer, employed | bythe corporation of Montreal, and he alleges that in declaring solemnly before, a notary public the foregoing statement, the accused committed perjury.\u2019 The second complaint by Mr.Dors, al- léges that 3 a e tion of legitimate excuse the forégoing statement, which was of a nature to lihjure the.reputation of the complainant,\u201d and which he considers a defamatory libel.Le - Mr.Doré has retained Messrs.Beau- din and Cardinal to act in his interests.WESTMOUNT ELECTIONS A CITIZENS MEETING WILL BE HELD TO-NIGHT.A meeting of the electors of Ward No.2 is called for 8 o'clock this evening in the council chamber for the purpose of selecting a candidate to represent them in the place of Councillor Knowles, whose term expires gt the end of the year.It is understood he does not intend to stand for re-election.other member for this ward.A meeting of the electors of Ward No 1 is \u2018also announced for Friday evening.Councillors Walker and Redfern are the representatives, and the term: of the latter expires at the end of the year.No.3 Ward electors are called to meet on Monday evening to decide whether they will place opposition in the field against Councillor Lawlor or re-elect him: Mayor Lighthall is the other representative of this ward.__ Friday evening, Dec.13, is mentioned asthe date for the meeting of the Fourth Ward electors, who are now represented by Councillors Bulmer and Stevens Mr.Stevens was recently elected to fill the seat formerly occupied by Councillor McIntosh, resigned.No opposition to his re-election is yet heard of, though the term of office for the holder of this sear exnires at the end of the year.Mr.À.G.Cross, advocate, is mentioned as a possible candidate for the seat in Ward No.2.| : ; A TEMPERANCE RALLY.St.Patrick's Church was the scene of a temperance rally on Sunday evening last.The occasion was the annual relgsious celebration of St.Patrick's Total A%stin- ence -and Benefit Society, and the temperance societies of the parishes of St.Ann and St.Gabriel had been invited to join in: the proceedings.Besides the temperance societies, a large congregation was present, so that the church was filled to the doors.The Rev.Father P.Hefferman, of St.Mary\u2019s Church, delivered the.sermon and spoke in most forcible terms of the evils caused by intemperance to individuais, families and society at large.The proceedings concluded * with solemn benediction, the Rev.Father T.Heffernan, of St.Anthony\u2019s Church, officiating, assisted by the Rev.Father P.Heffernan and P.Mc- Donald: AN AWARD CONTIRMED.Judge Archibald rendered judgment yesterday on the appeal of the Pontiac Pacific Junction Railway Company and the Ottawa & Gatineau Railway Company from the award of the arbitrators in the expropriation of land belonging to the Community General Hospital Almshouse and Seminary of Learning of the Sisters of Charity at Ottawa.The two railway companies \u2018had offered $8,000 as compensation for the land taken and the damages sufferéd.- This offer was refused, and arbitrators.having been appointed, a- majority report awarded the Sisters $11,000.From this award the present appeal was taken, the appellants alleging,among other things.that the award was.excessive, illegal and irregular.By the judgment just rendered, the appeal was dismissed on every point.Lemire, on-Nov.30, publishs\u2019} distributed without justifica- | Councillor Evans is the | from either L x an \u2018standpoint, Karn pianos enjoy a distinct Employment Wanted.A LADY, ACCUSTOMED TO EVANGELIStic work, would like an engagement lo hold Bible readings with singing and music daily, city or out of city.For particulars address \u2018Evangelistic Worker,\u2019 \u2018Witness\u2019 Office, Montreal.3 WANTED, BY A RESPECTABLE OLD man, furnaces to attend to, and snow to shovel for the winter;

medical health officer, being asked, that gentleman.poiñted out that the placards to be placed on the outer door where it could bea easily eéen.The council had taken it upon\u2019 themselves to exercise discretion in the matter and had allowed the inskle the porch.This systera was fair- lv effective, serving the purpose and causing no.complaint, .It- was finally resolved not to make \u2018any change in the present custom, but to leave the matter: discretion ofthe to be dealt with at the A letter from the Westmount Golf (hub was read asking thé council if they were likely to purchase the golf grounds for park purposes end intimate ing that if so, the club might be able to lease some part of the \u201cproperty- for a term of \u2018years, .- 0 .[His Worship the Mayor said that they needed more.park space and should see about securing it; \u2018somewhere, It was tated that the property ysed by the golf dub comprised about sixteen acres, - The letter was laid on \u2018the table and the aouneil will in due time give it their earnest consideration.\u2018 : 2 À letter from Mr.James.Harrison, fire department, stated that more men were needed on the force.At present there are three men for night patrol duty, one man for day.patrol, three for fire reserve, two all.\u2018The chief thought the minimum strength of the force should allow Âve men for night duty.and two for day service.the Police Committee.Fhe Mayor intimated.that initial steps had been taken towards getting better representation in both houses of patlia- ment, but there were -difficulties that were likely to black further progress.for some time.It would be easier fo ob- dain direct\u201d provincial representation than Dominion.The question of 1 Dominion representation cold not well be advanced, it was.thought till near \u2018the end oi.the aresent parliament, whieh, in the ordinary course of events, vould be about three years hence.One broposal was \u2018to unite Westmount and Bi.Antoine division under one reyre- sentative.: \u2019 : Councillor.Bulm until Westmount could have its\u2019 own representative without the intermingling of \u201cthe interests of another municipality.The question was allowed to drop at this point.The Health Committee reported the subject of a contagious hospital, submitting plans and reçom- mending the immediate commencement of work on a building for this purpose to cost from eight to nine thousand -dol- lars, the situation to be below the CU.R.tracks.The following letter from the Post- master-General\u2019s office, addressed to the Hon.J.A.C.Madore, M.P., Montreal, was communicated to council regarding the placing of newspaper boxts in the sawWni\u2014 Ottawa, Nov.26, 1901.My Dear Sir,\u2014I have your letter of Nov.22, enclosing communication from Mr.J.H.Rediern, to yourself, wich reierence to the establishment of newspaper boxes at Westmount and also a: the City Hall, and beg to say that the matter will receive prompt considera.ion: The council offers fifteen hundred dollars toward\u201d the opening of Tupper street into Gladstone avenue being an increase of three hundred dollars over its previous offer, this offer to remain open until Dec.31.It js considered that a little effort on the part of those interested might accomplish this open- T preferred waiting on diseases \u2018Councillor Evans aeked for $50 addi- \u2018the law required.placards to be posted: The matter was referred to, ame a- city and | \u201cTHE MONTREAL tional to complete the addition to the re station, which is now nearing com- nletiôn.A:the close of the meeting council went.into committee of the whole to conrider several important matters which are not yet ripe for action._\u2014\u2014-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 .SALE OF PERIODICALS, - \u2018The auction sale of.magazines fot.the year commencine.J&n.1,-.1903,.will \"take place at the Westmount !fbrary on Saturday evening, Dec.7 at § o'clock.Purchasers Will receive their periodicals regu- | larly from the librarian immediately on receipt of the succeeding number at the librarv.: Advertisements.Hood's Pills Are prepared from Na - ture\u2019s mild laxatives, and: while gentle are reliable -and efficient.They Touse the Liver Cure Sick Headache, Bil- - lousness,\u201cSour Stomach, - and Constipation.Sold \u2018everywhere, 25c.per box Prepar=d by C.L Hood & Co.Lowall Mass \u201cARTISTIC OTOGRAPHER) Portraits a Specialty NOW is the time to get PORTRAITS taken for Ch ristmas Cards.W.AND F.P.CURRIE & C0.DOMINION PAPER COMPANY HAVE REMOVED To Temporary Offices at 10 St.Helen Street.PAINT VARNISH WORKS, \u201cISLAND FILLER FOR INSIDE FIN- JULES ISHING, P.D.Dods & Co, Prop.Your hair needs just the tredtment :,we can giveit.You\u2019ll be proud of its texture and beauty, where you now are ashamed of its scanty, \u201cmeagre appearance, Nothing yields so quickly to judicious treatment - as the hair.We understand how.PALMER & SON, \"Finis tame Some people think we sy too much for our bread !

John xiv., 21; John xxi, 1.) Those to whom Jesus \u2018manifested\u2019 Himself could say, \u201cWe have seen the Lord.Again, it is the word used for His future appearing in Col.iii, 4; I.Pet.v, 4; I.John ii., 28, and also in the epistles of Timothy and Titus.Once Christ appeared to put away sin.(Heb.ix., 26.) Now He is in heaven to appear before His Father in behalf of His people.(Heb.ix;, 24.) When He again appears they are to be with, and lke; Him.- (Coll iii., 4; I.John iii., 2), to be publicly owned as belonging to Him (II.Cor.v.10).Where shall the ungodly and sinner appear when Jesus shall come to judge ment?\u201c (I.Pet.iv, 18.) In John xiv.21, Jesus promises to manifest Himself.to those who love.and obey Him.It-is the privilege of all believers to have Christ\u2019s- wbiding presence.(Eph.iiii; 17.) rt THE PRESENCE.I sit within my room, and joy to find That Thou who always lov'st art with.me here, .That I am never left by Thee behind, But by Thyself Thou keecpest ever near.;

that he had given security to the || Merchants Bank of Halifax, which had advanced him $30,000 to pay to the Merchants Bank of Canada, and that Mr.Ramsay, of the latter bank, had glven him time.Witness then described going to the | Merchants Bank of Canada to see it Chis- |} holm \u2018had paid the balance of the money due that bank and of his (witness's) ins terview with Mr.Ramsay.The latter, he deposed, opened the conversation by saying he was informed -that witness had eto- len the bank\u2019s goods.tness was so tak: | en aback that he made no answer to any\u2019 remarks, until .just before he left, whén he told Mr.Ramsay that he had been in business for over twenty years; that there: was no suspicion against his character, and | that so.far \u2018as his company was concerned; In these transactions, he would assume alli responsibility.He then put on his bat and walked away.\u2018 \u2018Witness then spoke of: hig interview with Mr.D, M.Stewart, of the \u2018Merchants\u2019 Bank of Halifax, on the subject of the receipts.He did not answer Stewart's ditestions in regard as to whether D.J.McGlilis -and | Chisholm had benefited by the frauds.The reason that he did not accuse Chisholm was because he bad helped the Crofl & McCullough dairy some years before, and witness did not want fo be thé one to throw :the flret stone.Another reason was that Chisholm had told him that.he had \u2018 settled the matter with Mr.Stewart, who had given him.$30,000 to to the Merchants Bank of Canada, on the warehouse receipts.Chisholm had also told witnes that Mr.Stewart had also advanced him one hundred thousand dollars later on.Witness again saw Mr.Stewart, who asked 0 over and pay the same questions as before, and on this |.occasion witnes sreplied that it was Mr.| Chisholm who had got the money.Witness also deposed to telling Mr.Pease at an interview that the Croll & McCullough Dairy Company owed Chisholm some | $50,000, but he did not admit benefiting by these or any other frauds to an amount not exceeding $50,000.Witness was then cross-examined by Mr.|~ Cooke, an evening session of the case being |.held in order to expedite matters.Nothing, however, of any great importance was the result excêpt the fact transpiring that two cf the Croi! & McCullough Dairy Company\u2019s balance sheets, givén to the Merchants Bank of Halifax, produced at the last trial, were missing.Mr.Slcotte, clerk of the Crown, stated that he was under the impression they had been put away With other documents in a sealed package that was placed in a safety deposit vault, but he must have been mistaken, as when the package was opened, the seal being\u2019 then still intact, the balance sheets were}.\u2018He and the clerks had been |\u201d not there, searching for them for some days, but they had been unable to find them.He said-that no one connected with\u2019the defence bad had.access to the documents since the or last trial._ ;

= THE CAPE\u2019S CONTRIBUTION.NOBLE RESPONSE TO THE CALL TO ARMS\u2014THE SITUATION.Capetown, Dec.3\u2014At the St.:Andrew\u2019s banquet on.Saturday night the Premier, Sir Gordon Sprigg, speaking on the state of Cape Colony, said.the new.arrangement under which the Cape Government \u201cwas responsible for maintaining in the \u2018field the forces that were operating in the Cape involved responsibility for the total expenditure of supporting eighteén thousand town guardsmen in thirty-one districts, and four fifths of the expenses of an additional eighteen thousand men comprising the Cape Mounted Rifles, the Cape Police and other volunteer corps and the district mounted troops serving in the wol- ony.These figures included a thousand whites who were armed to protect.the Transkei.The responsibility for safeguarding the vast territory was entirely in the hands of the coloniai government.A noble response, the Premier said.had been made to the call to arms by the government.Eleven months ago that night (Saturday) two hundred men of the Capetown Guard, under one of the colonial: commanders, had gone to the front to participate actively in the operations.Sir Gordon Sprigg said that under the mew arrangement the Boers would be systematically driven out of the various districts and measures would be taken to prevent their returning.At the same time means would be taken to prevent the local Dutch from.joining or otherwise aiding the Boers.The forces in the field would move in north-easterly and morth-westerly directions with the ultimate object of gaining complete possession of the whole colony.- ; Sir Gordon aaid it was impossible to 4 in Cal- | Two hundred sand fifty-six \u2018It is a matter for congratulation that we have found such a kindly of all the Great Powers.\u201d\u2014LDord Salisbu ry\u2019s Speech at the Guildhall.DISSEMBLED LOVE.(Effigies\u2019 of the\u2019 Colonial Secretary have recently been burnt on the Con ne say at what precise time the war would terminate as numerous small bodies of the enemy must be wiped out one after another.The war would come to an end when the means of carrying on hostilities by the invaders and rebels bad disappeared, when the.last man was gone or had been made.priscaer, the last gun captured and the !1st round of ammunition taken.The speaker sa'd he was not pessimistic two years ago.He was not optimistic now, but he was thordughly convinced that the war was drawing to a close.The Premier said that absolutely no friction ever existed between: the Cane Government, Lord Milner, Lord Kitchener and the Imperial Government.All were working together in the most perfect harmony.As soon as the war was over in the (colony, parliament would assemble as the government was most anxious to meet the people.FUTURE OF THE CAPE, Regarding the future-settlement of affairs Sir\" Gordon said many things had been decided, but he was unable to indicate the details at the present time.The Imperial Government would publish the details when it was desirable to do so.The first thing, however, would be a customs conference of all the states and.colonies.Confederation, the Premier declared, must come, but -it would take considerable time.for its fruition.Cape Colony would take.a leading position in federated South \u2018Africa.Refer zing to the finances of the coiony, Sir Gordon said there was no reason for dismay.The ordinary expenditare was more than balanced by the revenue.The burden\u2019 of the debt to meet the war expenditure was unavoidable, but the future prospects were of the rosiest character.: WORE OF SCOTOHMEN.Lord Milner was the chief guest of the Johannesburg Caledonian Society at toeir St.Andrew\u2019s dinner, on Saturday.night.Responding to the toast of his health as proposed-by Mr.Thomas Law, chief of the society;

éte., ithe report closed as follows; n concluling; we feel\u2019 that, notwith- stahding the comparatively favorable character .of :this report, the future of the institute is not at all well assured, and we would ask.this.meeting to renew MR.HENRY -BULMER, Who was fifty years ago president of the : Mechanics\u2019 Institute.the resolution of last year, authorizing the sale of the building, and would urge upon our successors in office the advisability of making such sale as soon as the opportunity.ofters of obtaining a fairly reasonable price.Cs oo \u2018It is further suggested that the proceeds thus obtained shall be used in establishing a \u2018\u2019Mechanics\u2019 Institute Technical School,\u201d fully equipped with apparatus and with every up-to-date method of instruction, be prepared to give that practical technical education to the boys who are qualifyipg for it in the manual training classes now in operation in our public schools, through the munificence of Sir William Macdonald.The amount available for this purpose should not be less than $75,000, and may possibly exceed $100,000, and if this is not sufficient, we feel sure that any additional amount necessary will be easily obtainable through the generosity and publie spirit of our citizens, in a cause which is of such vital importance to the rising generation.\u2019 tie report being unanimously adopted, a letter was read from Mr.Henry Bul- mer, who was elected to the presidency of the institute just fifty years ago.Mr.Bulmer, in his letter, expressed his regret at being unable to be present at the meeting.He had take a deep interest in the institute from the first time he was connected with it, and did his best to extend its influence.He further stated that he was aware that conditions have changed in all matters connected with such institutions during the latter part of the last half century, but he was strongly of opinion that there is a larger sphere for usefulness open for the future in which the institute can, and, he felt sure will, take its proper place in promoting the technical education of the artisan ortion of the population of the country.his was the primary object of the first promoters of the imstitute, The idea \u2014 has been kept alive, and he hoped it vi be perpetuated, and given its full effect in the near future.Mr.Bulmer conclud ed his letter with his heart£elt wishes #4, the future success of the institute 0 It was decided that Mr.Bulmer's letter should be inseribed on the minutes of the meeting.A discussion followed on the Proposed sale of the institute property, ior which the chairman said, $175,000 waz Wanted, and the future of the institute, the «pre tary reading letters he had received trom Principal Peterson, Dean Bovey and Pry.fessor Capper, of McGill University in reference to.the alteration of the insti tute into a technical school.It was evidently the opinion of the meeting, as voiced by Mr.MeLean, that the sooner the present building was sol the better.and the following motion oF Mr.McLean, seconded by Mr.Sheppard was unanimously adopted : \"l'hat the ay, eral committee be and is hereby authorized to sell tbe immovable property of -the institute, situate at the corner of James and St.Peter streets, in ihe city of Montreal, upon such terms and conditions as the said committee may deem expedient, and that the president and secretary be, and are hereby authorize] to sign the necessary deed.\u2019 After a cordial yote of thanks to the retiring officers for their: services the meeting concluded with the election of officers, which resulted as- follows;
