was caused among al si the community this Morn.word reached the city hat Major E.L.Bond, so well known in business and philanthropic circles, bad met his death in the destruction by fre of his summer home at Philipsburg, on Mi-sisquoi Bay.According to tbe fs, news which reached the city it was ges quite certain that Major Bond had te lis life, but a later despatch re- reve about noon confirmed the worst of his friends, for his charred re- _ were found in the ruins of his pretrs home.Las: evening Major Bond arrived at &.\u2018Armand on the train to spend the burg Railway, of Was president.\u2018He at once went to his house at Philipsburg, and Mr.F.B.Wells, mana- ser of the Philipsburg Railway, spent the evening with him, leaving him about 10.30 p.m.Mr.Bond was alone in the house.This morning, about 5 o'clock the residents of the quiet little village were aroused by the alarm of fire, and i was soon discovered that the fine summer residence of Major Bond was all ablaze.: It was supposed that the Major was in the ruins, and while they were still smouldering busy hands began digging expecting to find the charred remains of the owner.The work was kept up without intermission {until about LL o'clock, when the charred remains, which will be brought to Montreal, were found.Word was received this aftdgmoon that the body would be brought to the city this evening by the brother and son-in-law of the deceased.Edward Langley Bond was the youngest son of the Right Rev.W.B.Bond, D.C.L., Archbishop of Montreal.He was born in Montreal on Oct.2, 1850.He was \u2018educated in the Montreal High School, and entered into business life in partnership with his brother, Lieut.-Col.frank Bond, as stoek brokers: under the firm name of Bond Bros, members of the Montreal stock exchange.The name of Edward L.Bond is one ot he most familiar in business circles throughout this province and in insur ence affairs throughout the Dominion.In 1880 he entered into business on his OWL account as a marine underwriter.and has continued in that line with great Success ever since.He was chief agent for the British and © Surance Company of Reliance M Liverpool, and

for the militia in the the cadets when he joined the Prir-e oe Wales Regiment (of which his brother was the commanding officer) as ensign in 1 1866, in order to take part in the defence of the Huntingdon border against the Fenians.He was also in command of No.6 Company of the same regiment at St.Armand and Pigeon Hill in 1870.and was appointed major of the Pringe + Wales Rites in 1873, and served until 1884, when Le resigned.On the regi ment being called out for active service jin the North-West in 1885 he was ap- * pointed second officer in command.Af- l'ter the rebellion was quelled he finally | retired, retaining the rank of major.Turoughout his career Major Bond has | been on the side of every local movement looking to the elevation and well being of his tellow men.for many years one of the recognized leaders among the prohibition workers | of Canada.Dossessing the confidence of the temperance people, he was universal- i ly trusted as a safe and judicious leader in all matters affecting the interests of their cause.For over fifteen years he has been actively identified with the Dominion Al- lance, occupying positions on the executive tor several years, and during last year was the president of the Quebec provincial branch.He retired from this office at the beginning of the year owing to increasing business engagements.e remained a member of the executive, and continued to occupy the office of vice- president of the Dominion Council of the Alliance.During the plebiscite campaign he was, the chairman of the provincial executive, and was one of the most active workers in the campaign: His time and money were freely given to that contest.He was an able advocate of the cause of prohibition.His speeches were clear and convincing, as well as inspiring.Throughout this province he was eagerly sought after whenever the temperance people were engaged in any conflict.In the recent campaign in .Richmond county for the repeal of the Dunkin Act he took an active interest, and spoke in defence of the act.In the work of law enforcement he took a deep interest.He was the president of the Citizens\u2019 League from its inception, and to his untiring efforts are undoubtedly due the improvad conditions in the matter of law enforcement in the city.He was one of the originators of the Law and Order League and the Good Government Association, and was a director and active worker.of both organizations.The lottery evil, social evil, gambling and other forms of vice found in him a vigorous onent.He was a terror to evildoers.Fair and fearless in his.efforts to suppress the \u2018wrong, he was always ready and willing to assist any one to forsake the wrong aud do the ri f rights\u201d movement i 1890 during the Mercier régime.2 Politically, Mr.Bond was a Liberal, and a personal friend of Sir Wilfrid Laurier.He was a member of the Church of England and a delegate to the General Synod of that body.He married, in 1872, Kate, daughter of the late Mr.Charles Whitlaw, of Paris, Ont.Their only child is Mrs.F.W.Smith, of this city.Lieut.- Col.Frank Bond, also of this city, is his only brother.ALL CLASSES MOURN REPRESENTATIVE MEN EXPRESS THEIR APPRECIATION OF THE LIFE JUST ENDED.\u2014 Lieut.-Colonel Gardner, who commanded the 6th Fusiliers, and is a member of the Méntreal Curling Club, said he had known Major Bond as-a military man and as a curler for many years He had to say of him that he was one of the most straightforward of men, and.that his military career was of the best.He was \u2018always true to his duty, and was among the brightest of officers.Colonel Gardner had never served .with him in the same regiment, but had been with him in the brigade, and knew of him as an officer of the highest merit.Major Costigan, too, was greatly moved when he heard of Major Bond\u2019s death.He remembered him -as a most efficient officer and one who was very popular.\u2018Mr.Ramsay, of the Standard Life Insurance Company, was, like every one else, astounded at the news.He could only endorse what had been said so kindly by every one else about Major Bond.He had been a most useful citizen.Mr.H.W.Raphdel said that he had known Major Bond for many years, and - he admired him very mÜüch.It was true that his course had sometimes-made him obnoxious to certain persons, but he had pursued his duty with courage and publie spirit, and deserved well of the people of Montreal, who must honor Lis memory.: Yi.F.B.McNamee, the Hon.James McShane and Mr.Bernard Tansey, well known Irish-Canadians, were in a group discussing the startling news.Each had a good word to say for Major Bond.All had known him for years as an active Montreal man.* They had all liked the major\u2019s straight, manly ways.\u201cI am sorry for the archbishop, his father.said Mr.Tansey.\u2018It will be an awful blow to him.Mr.Timmis, who had been associatzd with Major Bond in his work of reform.was perfectly amazed, and could hardly take in the sad news.He had grown to love the major, and he could only say it was awful.to Mr.James Harper, who served with Major Bond both in 1866 and 1870.and was a warm personal friend, recalled the first appearance™the major made with his company when he joined it, fresh from the High School, in 1866, as ensign: A \u2018handsomer, brighter or more manly loking officer was not in the whole brig- ade\u2014perhaps not in the Dominion\u2014than the young ensign in the Prince of Wales Rifles.He was-the-picture of health, and his spirits were of the most intense cast.There were such veterans in the company he joined as Mr.Ed.Quinn, Mr.W.Johnson, Mr.David McQuade, Mr.J.Donaldson; Mr.John Beckingham Major Bond has been had Deen-#\"membersbfrêhe MONTREAL, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4,.1901.and a host of others, most of whom have | gone before the major.The young offi-, cer speedily gained the esteem and affection of the company, which was called \u2018fighting No.6° As for the regimental band, it comprised lads about the same age as the young officer, and mapy of them had known him in school and in the Band of Hope and temperance work, even in that early day, as a leader.They therefore looked upon him with great affection.This was intensified, as the regiment went into service immediately, and they always saw the ensign looking after their interests.In every way hé could the young officer assisted the men to a greater degree of comfort than they might have had without his help.In; 1870, | when thesregiment was ordered from St.John to Eccles Hill, it was the young ensign, promoted to be Major Bond, who had the whiskey-selling stopped at St.Armand and other points, while the men were on the march.He was fearless in lis opposition to the liquor: traffic; audy mar \u2018protected the men even against the fneli- nations of some of them.The men who served with Major Bond in the rank and file always esteemed him and gave him their confidence in the most thorough manner, None can regret his untimely death in a greater degree than those of his comrades who survive him.Mr.Seth P.Leet, advocate, referri to the death of Major Bond, said: \u2018It is an awful shock; his death will be a tré mendous loss to \u2018the forces of right, and his place will be hard to fill.I have known Major Bond ever since I came to Montreal, twenty-five years ago, and have been intimately acquainted with him for about ten years.I have and strongest men.He was active in all that tended to morality and gaod citizenship.Though not prominent in municipal affairs, he had considerable influence avith the authorities.conservative action on lines suggested bv sound judgment he accomplished much.On the subject of law enforce went in connection with prohibitory measures Major Bond had decided opin: ion.'He contended that prohfbitôry liquor laws could be enforced as well as anv others, if the officers whose duty it was to see them enforced had: the necessary backbone.\u2018He placed the responsibility with the arm of the law änd not the voter.THE NEWS ON \"CHANGE.Major E.L.Bond\u2019s tragic death was realized on Change this morning with an intensity of feeling that is rarely felt or

the greatest respect, not because of any status which he might claim as the son of the Archbishop, but for his forcible presentation of all the subjects in which -he =was interested.And his interest in the diocese was keen, wide and intensely sympathetic.He thoroughly understood the needs of the work: : he was.quick to suggest plans for betterment; and the country clergymen found in him a warm friend.Of course, he had a supreme interest in the temperance question in the diocase -and he made many eloquent appeals to- the synod to take an active part in advanced work.He, upon many occasions, acted as lay secretary, and brought to his duties a quickness of perception which.was noted with great satisfaction He had a turn for affairs; but he was at the same time - deeply concerned for the spirituality of the Church, and he seconded every effort looking for the deepening of spiritual feeling.It was always a delight to note the respectful and almost reverential way in \u201cwhich he addressed the Archbishôp in the synod.setting an example, \u2018which was not neglected.\"His sunny nature, his obtimistic spirit, his.conviction that\u2014 \u201cGood shall be the final goal of ill,\u2019 his earnest labors for the nvelfare of the Church which he loved, and to which he never referred without exhibiting the deepest feeling, will long be remembered, DOMINION ALLIANCE MAJOR BOND'S DEATH WILL BE MUCH FELT.Mr.J.H, Carson, secretary of the Dominion Alliance, said this morning: \u201cThe loss of Major Bond, our tried and trusted leader, is a calamity to the cause of\" prohibition in Kanada.He was a man whose friendship was an honor to have.In the prohibition plebiscite campaign it was my privilege to be very closely associated with him, | and T had opportunities to know and appreciate the magnificent services he rendered to our cause.At a great sacrifice of business interests he placed himself at the disposal of our executive, authorizing me to make any engagements for him where he could be of assistance to the friends of prohibition in any part, of the province.The was the most popular man we had.Everr- where he was sought after.His addresses were always \u201ceffective and created splendid impressions.\u2018He felt keen- Iv the adverse vote in the province of Quebec and never recognized that it tru- | i He did | \u2018wot pull wires nor ask favors, but \u2018by ly represented the real temperance senti- mnt of our French-Canadian friends.\u2018In the councils of our Dominion pro- bibitionists Major Bond was highly es teemed and his advice was regarded as of much value.\u201cHis loss will be felt as a personal one by every one who had the pleasure of being associated with him in his good works, which were by no means confined to temperance.His place cannot scon be filled.His memory will be an incentive to greater devotion to those who remain to carry on the work.Mr.8.J.Carter, president of the Quebec Branch of the Dominion AWi- ance, speaking of the sad event, said the news of the dreadful calamity could hardly be realized by the community.He was a man prominent in all matters connected with good morals and his sound views on all public questions were much sought after and appreciated.Mr.Carter, looked upon Major ong AF There was nothing of the personal element in his opposition to wrong of any kind, \u2018but he fought for principle.The very \u2018men whom he opposed respected and admired him for his integrity and sourd principle, and his fair and open methods in every cause which he undertook to assist.THE NEWS AT KINGSTON.Kingston, Ont., Dec, 4\u2014Bishop Mills and the Rev.Dr.:Antliff, former Mont- realers, were greatly grieved on learn ing of the sad death of Major Bond.Both spoke in high terms of him, remarking on the great loss Montreal has \u2018sustained.Dr.Antlif said he was learned to regard him as one of our best stained ; ut À Jelleus fine man physically, but finer intellectually and

GREAT * POSSIBILITIES.MR.FRANCIS LEE, TRAFFIC MANAGER OF THE YUKON AND \" WHITE PASS RAILWAY, DESCRIBES THE SIT- \u2014\u2014 There was, after all, a conspiracy to wrest the Yukon from the jurisdiction of the Federal Government.That conspiracy was the relic of a former re- gime\u2014a regime which was, in many essential respects, unsatisfactory, and which left rankling memories.first of all, you have a co-mopolitan crowd; you have characters from all parts of the world who are desperate, and ready to take all sorts of chances; then you have the resentment which will be quickly felt if you hamper the individual miner in any way\u2014the man who takes his life in his hand, who devotes all his energies to making his pile, and who finds, say, a heavy royalty, or conditions which are far from equitable.Now, this conspiracy would never have been born had the administration of the.Yukon been always what it is to-day.But there Was à plot, and part of the plot was to seize the Yukon and White Pass Railway, so that troops could not be brought to Dawson City.That is the statement nade to-day by Mr.J.F.Lee, the traffic manager of the road referred to.Mr.Lee knows; he was on the spot.Of course, as it happened, the conspiracy was nipped in the bud.Had it got headway there js no knowing what might have happened.The country is large ; it is difficult to get troops in in a hurry, and much might happen before an insurrection could be suppressed.-But the Yukon of to-day is as different as possible from the Yukon of ten years ago.You can go to Dawson City from Montreal in ten days.You have every comfort by rail and steamer; you have no trouble, no inconvenience, and one might go- for a pleasant.trip in the summer, and ry, thdt they might ré~ Dawson is à modern city.1t has its corporation, its clean streets, its perfect order; its schools and churches and hospitals, It lacks a good hotel.There should be one built.Mr.Lee states that a man could make a fortune im Dawson with a good hotel.Mr.Lee also thinks that the wholesale houses in Montreal should send their travellers to Dawson as they send them to Winnipeg.At present American and Canadian corporations send in goods in bulk, but the time has come when the traveller should arrive on the scene himself and submit his samples.-The country will last .any years.First, you have the placer mining, then you have quartz; after that, you have an intermediary, which is called conglomerate, and two tons of which is equal to one of regular quartz.In fact, the country is in its infancy as tar as gold mining is concerned.The takings for «the past year totalled thirty million dollars; about the same amount which the crop in the North-West represented Vancouver, through the assay office, got | two millions of that.It will get more.Mr.Lee favors the establishment of a mint in Canada, which will keep our gold in the country.: (There is one drawback, which, however, will be remedied\u2014the question of transportation from Dawson to the mining centres is a vexed ome.If is all team work from the city and team work is frightfully dear.You can bring goods from Montreal to Dawson City cheaper than you can team them from Dawson to the mining camps.forty miles out.The miner is angry at this.He does not.\u2018understand it.This will be remedied, however,, by.\u2018the zonstruction of short lines of railway, which will follow the line of the creeks .and in regard to There was some friction in the past.There was resentment.Lieutenant- Governor Ross was admirable; the gold commissioner, Mr.Sinclair, was highly respected; Judge Dugas was well spok- .en.of.The mounted police rendered splendid service.They were not obtrusive; but there was a fine sense of \u2018security.They did not lock up things in Dawson.Gambling had been stamped out.Of course, the miner had his beer, but all.was orderly; no open drunkenness.Contrast this with Nome, where you had riots and even murders.Mr.Lee thought the country was of im- mensé importance to Canada, but he favored the abolition of the five percent royalty, which could be made up by an export duty.The road with which he was connected \u2018bad made, it had been alleged, dividends equalling thirty percent; that was nonsense; they had made, after paying all expense, eight percent.And why not ?Was it not about time that English capital should begin to realize in British \"Columbia and the Yukon ?He had said the other day to the Hon.Mr.Blair that it was high time the English capitalists had a show in these countries, considering the money he had lost in them, and the effect which had been produced in the Old Country._ Five dollars a day is the wages in Dawson.The merchants desire to keep up - prices, of course.The individual \u201cwhich :s Lee this dis .COL.STEELE\u2019S RESIDENCE \u2018about him.ficulties.\u2019 i The whole country.is admirably ad- - ministered.It was not always so.miner has still his chance.Of course, the great thing is to get in the best machinery.Canada should begin to make this mining machinery, which has to be supplied at present in the United States.There has been great delay in regard to this matter owing to strikes in the metal trades, but the Yukon is just beginning to disclose itself.It will Le a source of the greatest wealth to the country.And it is only at the elbow.It is only a pleasant Lrip.There are many ladies in Dawson City.You can see the vegetables growing there; you can see the cows grazing.The place is next door.POLICING THE COUNTRY NEW FORCE OF TRREGULARS BEING ORGANIZED UNDER CAP- sr Pretoria, Dec.4~Captain Adamson has announced that Col.Capper will relinquish command of the Railway Pioneer Corps at once to take up the command of a volunteer force for the Transvaal.which it is hoped wil pepetuate the traditions of the irregular corps which have served during the war.It will contain twelve squadroms of the Im- rerial Light Horse, ten squadrons of the Scottish Horse and a proportionate aumber of Thorneyeroft\u2019s Mounted Infantry, Bethunes Mounted\u2019 ([nfun the South African Light Horse and otf- er corps, including infantry forces which will be called Imperial Light Infantry.These volunteers, who.it is expected will number ten thousand, will be liable for military service during the war at the ordinary rate of pay while they are in the field.It is expected that they will gradually render a large and expensive constabulary force unnecessary.It is estimated that it will require fifty thousand pounds yearly to maintain this new force and its staff.BULLER\u2019S BATTLEFIELDS LORD MILNER AND SUITE HAVE BEEN LOOKING THEM OVER.\u2014\u2014 Letters from South Africa with Natal news as late as the middle of October state that Lord Milner and his suite had\u2019 been down in the Colenso region looking over the battlefields which made or unmade General Buller\u2019s military reputation, as his critics may \u2018declare.Whet}- er the visits were thase of eriticism, or for further information -explanatory of * General Buller\u2019s movements, some of cemed mysterious fo People.at at stat Box.18 H like - Colonel Steele\u2019s friends have had recent letters which give them a pen picture of his work and.duties in the Transvaal.The colonel\u2019s tact and military knowledge stand him in good stead now quite as surely as when the Strathcona\u2019s orse sat their saddles with their eyes and ears watchful and alert for his motion and command.The colonel, it appears, was warned of and even threatened with personal danger if he occupied the-house, but he dines with his windows open and his doors ajar, in the greatest comfort and with no shadow of danger The colonel never was the man to hold warning in careless contempt, but, with true western sagacity, he knows the signs when they appear and how to deal with them.His health was excellent when the letter left Pretoria.THE DUKE OF HAMILTON MARRIED, London, Dec.4\u2014The Duke of Hamilton was quietly married at Salisbury to- dav to Miss Nina Poore.The ceremony took plate.at noon.Only half a dozen near relatives were present.Two little girls acted as bridesmaids.- No reception followed the.wedding.Im short there \u2018vas an entire absence of the elaborate functions usually attending \"ducal weddings., a MR.GEORGE JAMES ~~ WILL RUN AGAIN HE HAS CHANGED HIS MIND AND WILL ACCEPT THE PREY DENCY OF THE SENTOR HOCKEY LBAGUE.The announcement was made this morning that Mr.George James, the energetic and popular president of the Canadian Amateur Hockey League, had finally decided.to again present himself for the presidency of the union.Mr.Jamés, some few days ago, person- dllv announced! his intended withdrawal.from active participation in local sporting events, but since that announcem \u2018his friends, not only in the M.À.A.$F: \u2018but throughout the city, have urged him to remain as head of the Hockey League: for another season .at least.Not only: was this request confined to Montreal but correspondence received from out-\u2018.side points also favored a second tern | for the popular president.Mr.James, when spoken to at moon to-day corroborated the report that he would accept.office again at the urgent solicitations: of friends and clubs.He bad wade up hig mind to finally retire and had re- veatedly -made- his desire known to different Parties, ho would not hear cf: his resigning.He did not care to be, abstinate or to refuse the calls tpon' Lim in this respect.Mr.James will undoubtedly be reelected by acclamation as it is the general rule of athletic organizations to appoint their heads for at least two years, and as Mr.James bas only served one.term his re-election is certain.Le Ta à

sWARD\u2014HE ACCEPTS THE NOMINATION.A large and influential deputation of electors of St.Gabried ward waited upon Ald.Turner at his residence last night and tendered him a requisition signed by over eighteen hundred electors requesting him to again be a candidate for aldermanic seat No.2.Among those who were present were the following: \u2014Messrs.N.Ei.McMahon, A.O.Galarneau, John Collins, sr, P.Whelan, Dr.A.R.Griffith, L.Riley, Dr.E.E.Dagenais, James Mason, Dr.Gagne, J.E.Hayden, M.Marchand, M.Trudeau, T.K.T.Stone, M.Trudel, H.Hadley, J.W.Hayden, A.Peloquin, À.Y.Blomeley, Lalonde, Laberge, Rivet, Thibeault, Jelly, Lapointe, Dulude, Daigneault, Favreau, Gauthier and Belle- mare.Mr.N.E.MeMahon was unanimously voted to the chair.; In tendering Ald.Turner the nomination the chairman made a few remarks regarding the record of that alderman since his election to the City Council, ALD.TURNER.which the speaker declared was one of honesty.Ald.Turner had acted in the interests of the city and the ward, and no newspaper had contained a report of the City Council's proceedings during Ald.Turner's turn of office in which it could be found that St.Gabriel's representative had voted in favor of any other interest than that of the city and the ward he represented.Mr.John Collins, sr., seconded the motion, and strongly endorsed the remarks of the chairman.He intimated that it was ouly by sending men with such records as had Ald.Turner that the city\u2019s affairs could be properly administered.Mr.F.X.Lapointe also endorsed the candidature of Ald.Turner.Other.speakers expressed themselves strongly in favor of the nominee an pledged their support.In accepting the nomination and thanking the electors for this expression of their confidence, Ald.Turner referred to his career in the -ouncil.He had always tried to vote in the best interests of the city and the ward he represented.He was hopeful that with continued economy in civic affairs within the next year or so, the council would be able to undertake some permanent improvements and.as regards St.Gabriel ward in that connection he would endeavor to obtain a full share of those improvements for his own ward.Reference was made by several speakers to the candidature of Mr.D.Parker for seat No.1 in opposition to Ald.Jacques and Dr.E.E.Dagenais.They declared the loyalty of the English electors whom they represented to the unwritten compact which existed that seat No.1 belonged to the French-Canadian electors of the ward.As regard Mr.Parker, it was stated that he belonged to St.Ann\u2019s ward and bad no interest in St.Gabriel; that if a representative of his nationality were wanted there were sufficient qualified genilemen in St.Gabriel ward to choose from; without seeking outsidérs.[The object of the Hack- men\u2019s Union, which was responsible for Mr.Parker\u2019s candidature, could not be understood, they said, when it was considered that within the precincts of St.Gabriel ward there were but few hack- men residing.On_ motion of Dr.Gagne seconded by Mr.L.Riley, it was decided that the committees representing Dr.E.E, Dage- nais and Ald.Turner work together for the election of their representatives.This was unanimously agreed to.A meeting in.the.interest of Dr.Dage- naiss candidature will be held in St.Charles Hall, Céntre street, on Thursday evening, Dec.12.\" - ; CANDIDATES NAMED MEETING OF WESTMOUNT CITIZENS |- LAST EVENING.-The opening meeting of the Westmount municipal election contest was \u2018held in the council chamber last evening and was largely attended.The net result of the deliberations was the naming of two candidates to run for the seat \u2018being vacated by Councillor Knowles.Mr.W.Cunninghain moved, seconded by Mr.D.Ross-Ross, that Mr.A.G.Cross be nominated for the vacant seat.Mr.Knowles moved;séconded by Mr.Tren- holm, that Mr: W.Muir be nominated.Mayor W.D.Lighthall was called to the chair, but the divergent interests represented made it difficult to get the meeting down to a definite line of business.One wanted the water question discussed; others, loans; other® contagious hospital matters.The meeting finally seemed to faver the pro-: posal to spend $350 in repairing the build- | ing on Belmont avenue, so that it could be .used for a smallpox hospital.During the discussion of municipal affairs Mr.Pinder asked Mr.Evans, chairman of the Finance Committee, why was a loan effected for $175,000 instead of sell- bonds last year.oe Evans replied that owing to the state of the money market, on account of the Baer war, it was impossible to sell bonds to advantage, and it was advisable and in the.best interests of the town to make a temporary loan at -4 percent, redeemable: at any time when the state of the market

W.D.Lighthall, D.Cameron, D.Williamson, J.M.Ferguson, W.J.Cleghorn, W.Cunningham, J.M.Riddle, Bulmer, Brodie, Johnson, Trenbolme and Hodgson.The mayor was authorized to call a general meeting after

DENMARK.Chief Harrison, of the Westmount Police, who has been in communication with the authorities of Copenhagen, Denmark, in connection with the record of Thorvald Hansen, who murdered little Eric Marrotte in Westmount, on Saturday, Oct.26 last, has received a photograph of Hansen, and documents which show that his record was a bad one in Copenhagen.He served three terms in prison of that city for theft.He was also discharged from the British army for bad conduct, having been found guilty of passing counterfeit money in India.A PLEASING FUNCTION WOMAN'S ART ASSOCIATION HOME.\u2019 The Woman's Art Association has taken a commodious and well-lighted studio at 2161 St.Catherine street, and has arranged a scheme of work which will widen its activities during the winter.Exhibitions of sketches, ceramics, wood-carving, and other crafts will be held, with a view to encouraging and fostering a high standard of art.A course of public lectures will be given under the auspices of the association.Yesterday afterncon the association gave an \u2018at home\u2019 in the lecture hall over Pratte\u2019s music store.The large hall was quite filled with members and {nvited guests.Palms and flowers were used in the decoration of the platform.A paper on.\u2018Home Arts and Handicrafts\u2019 was read by Miss Phillips, president of the association.After referring to the simple, serviceable, and withai beautiful articles once made in the households of the country, which have now given place to machine products, Miss Phillips went on to speak of how the skill and taste of the homeworkers might be encouraged and preserved.The patronage of American visitors has developed the home industries of Murray Bay and Tadousac,and these places were cited as an example of what might be done in establishing village industries.What was wanted was a market for handi- craîts, and a guiding taste and encouragement to keep the work up to a high standard.Where these were wanting a steady deterioration was noticed, till finally the art was in danger of belng lost altogether.The advantage of these village industries in maintaining the familly life was dwelt \u2018AT upon.Miss Phillips had read the same paper before the National Council of \u2018Women in London last spring.The attention of other branches of the Woman\u2019s Art Association had been gained, and the Montreal branch \u2018has been asked to draw up a scheme whereby all branches of the association throughout Canada may co-operate in opening u depots for the exhibition and .sale of suc work\u2014weaving and dyeing from Scotch and French districts; rush mats, fine bead work and pottery from \u2018the Indlans, ete.: \u2018At the conclusion of.the paper some choice music.was rendered.Miss Fysche, who has recently returned from Dresden, Germany, played several piano solos in superior style, and Miss Rachel Dawes sang in a fine voice showing careful cultivation.Refreshments were served the tea-table being in charge of Mrs.Markland Molson.Among those present were: Mrs.W.S.Kerry, first vice-president; Mrs, G.B.Bur- land, second vice-president; Mrs.A.F.Dunlop, treasurer; Mrs.Charles Deacon,

Dec.3.\u2014Sir Pieter Faure, Secretary of Agriculture of the Cape Colony Government; Mr.Zeits- man, a member of the Legislative Assembly, and a number of other promin= ent men have bought the land surrounding Saldana Bay and also a large area of the Port of St.Johns, Kaf- fraria, with the view to improving the harbor accommodation of South Adrica.Saldana Bay, which was the first harbor chosen by the Portuguese navigators in the sixteenth century, is the saë- est and finest barbor in South Africa, with the exception of Delagoa Bay.It i almost completely landlocked and affords good anchorage.A railway fifty miles long would connect it with the Malmesbury-Capetown line.An English syndicate has made a large offer to float a company to develop Saldana Bay.The shipping companies and merchants favor the scheme, recognizing that Table Bay will not be sufficient for the demands of future trade.The development of the Port of St.Johns will be taken up by a local syndicate, with adequate capital.This pont js midway between East London and Durban.and its improvement will largel develop the trade of Kaffraria, which is the most fertile part of Cape Colony, producing grain and tropical products in abundance.KITCHENER'S CHRISTMAS GIFT.Pretoria, Dec.3.\u2014Lord Kitchener has ordered that each soldier in the field ehall receive at Christmas = plum pudding, a pint of beer, and

WITNESS.CANADA AND HER NEIGHBOR\" ADDRESS ON TRADE MATTERS BY MR.CHARLTION AT BUFFALO.Buffalo, Dec.3.\u2014Mr.Johan Charlton, M.P.of Lynedock, Ont.arrived in Buffalo at eleven o'clock this morning and was met at the station by a committee of the Merchants\u2019 Exchange.Mr.Charlton was tendered a standing luncheon at noon on the floor of the DNMer- chants\u2019 Exchange.Or.Charlton spoke on \u2018Reciprocity with Canada,\u201d a topic in which the exchange has been taking an active interest, and in the interests of which the exchange sent a delegation to Washington to appear before President Roosevelt.He sums up the tariff THE HON.JOHN CHARLTON.situation as follows: The condition of trade matters between the two countries may be briefly summarized as fol laws: The (Canadian tariff is one half that of the United States.Canada buys of the United States threefold as \"much ns her sales to that country of farm products and general imports.Canada has opened for herself other markets and \u2018the chief market for her products now is Great Britain, (Canada derives her chief supply of manufactures irom the United States.The condition of trade between the two countries is so inequitable that great dissatisfaction prevails in Canada and that country will not long be content to remain in a position where she buys enormously without offering tariff impediments to the entry of imports from the United States and is practically excluded from the warket of that country.The American [ tariff can be copied by Canada, and a kind of reciprocity thereby be secured that will minimize American trade and give the shrunken proportion now characteristic of the Canadian exports to the United States.A NOTE OF WARNING.At a banquet in his honor given by the Liberal Club to-night, Mr.Charlton said: \u2018The day swiftly approaches when positive action in the expansive direction on the part of the.United States will \u2018be necessary to avert positive action in the repressive direction on the part of Canada.The Canadian desires \u2018broad, liberal and friendly trade relations.but these conditions in the near future must exist on more than one side.\u2018The {fraternity of feeling and interests that existed under the old reciprocity treaty have passed from recollection, except on the part of a small percent of the men who were then living.tendericy has been under the conditions that have existed since that day to develop bitterness of \u2018spirit, springing from supposed injuries,\u201d the result of grasping action, embodied in a tariff that sought to set aside the first princi \u2018ble of commercial intercourse by refusing to make exchanges and seeking, through a policy of exclusion, to sell much and buy little.\u2018Canada is prepared for any reason- | | able arrangement about trade policies that will be mutually advantageous and that will tend to develop commercial relations and ensure enduring peace.To this end and for the purpose of aiding: to secure this object, let us arbitrate the \u2018Alaskan boundary question, and remove that source of irrritation.Let us adjust our mutual systems and place them upon a basis that will give due regard to mutual interests and serve to promote our mutual prosperity.Absolute free trade between all the states of the American.Union has existed since the union was formed.Diversity of soil.of climate, of interests, or of conditions as great between different.groups of states, as between the United States and Canada have existed and.still exist.Diversified conditions have not been permitted to lead to any restrictions whatever upon interstate commerce.TUn- mixed blessings have followed.the application of this free trade system and as the extent of the area of which it held swav increased, the supreme advantages mertaïming to the system: became apparent.The trade principle that applies to all the states of the American Union could be extended \u201cto the British American provinces and territories with precisely the same results, and while the two countries are likely to retain their separate autonomy it is in the interest of each to apply to the greatest possible extent the system that governs the relations of American states to each other, and to secure to the greatest attainable, extent the material advantages would result from union.reef THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE, New York, Dec.3\u2014On his seventh visit to this country, the Duke of Newcastle, whose younger brother is Lord Francis \u2018Hope, arrived on the steamship \u2018Minneapolis\u2019 Saturday night, and is now at

pos- NORTH-WEST NOMINATIONS session of the family.If he had wished to do so, he added, he could have bought it on the other side of the water.When the Duke of Newcastle came to this country last year

Association opened here yesterday, with bee keepers present from all parts of &ke vrovince.The convention lasts three days.Several important papers were read during the day\u2019s session and there were profitable discussions.Several of the speakers drew the attention af the meeting to the necessity of the association supporting the tree-spraying movement as largely as possible, as it means the preservation of the life of the bees.Mr.Andrew Pattullo, M.P.P.for North Oxford, gave an address in which he raid that as Canada was exporting cheese, dairy products, poultry, etc., to Great Britain, for which there was a sreat demand there, he could not see why Canada should not export honey also to the Old Country.The \u2018bee\u2019 men discussed the matter at length, wany favoring going after the foreign markets, but others remarking that it would be better to cover the home market first.IMPALED A NEGRO GERMAN MERCHANTS IN CAMEROONS CONVICTED.QF ATROCIOUS CRUKLTIES ON NATIVES.Berlin,

rearmament of the native army has made consider able progress during the past summer, twenty-two regiments of cavalry, forty- one of infantry, and all the sappers and miners having received Lee-Metfords, while all the British infantry except three battalions\u201d have heen given.new Lee-Enfields.This will enable the field army \u2018to go on service fully.equipped with magazine rifles, firing \u2018cordite, but.more\u2019 than.half the native army still have Martinis, using black powder, which is now dbsolete among the great military powers.The Indian Government indented sixty thousand more .303 rifles last spring, and it is extremely important that the balance of these should.be supplied before the end of the current financial year.The mountain batteries are still awaiting the new ten-pounder firing cordite, which none have yet received.The experience of such batteries in South .Africa proved the urgent necessity of providing guns using smokeless powder.THE TRISH

today with over firty leading distributors present.The prinsipal qucilion before this organization of the distributors, which is under contract to take all the output of the distillers in the combine known as the Distilling Companies of America, is the recent advance of the price to $1.32,\" which is said to be pro- pertionately much greater than the advance in corn.The distributors insist that if
