[" 213.re old been the my dle ov- | 1st ost his D rt Then Colder.St.Mary\u2019s Church was Burned Early This Morning \u2014 BUILDING IS A TOTAL WRECK AND THE LOSS IS HEAVY.Yire broke out in St.Mary's Church, corner of Craig and Panet streets early this morning, and it did not cease burning until almost everything combustible was reduced to ashes.The alarm was sounded at the City Hall at 5.01 an.and in a few minutes the firemen oi the east and centre divisions were on the scene.The second alarm brought reinforcements, but the church was doomed, and all their efforts could not save it from destruction, The sexton states that he left the church at about nine o'clock last evening.The furnaces were attended fo as usual, and were in good condition.He did not believe the fire started from them.There were two gas jets left burping in an apartment near the sacristy, and he could attribute the cause of the fire to nothing but these.But how it actually caught was a mystery.The interior of the church was very beautifully and expensively decorated.The altar is said to have cost $8,000; the organ $4,000, and the elec- tre fixtures $2,300.oth gas and electricity were in use in the church.The late Father O'Donnell, former parish priest, was buried in a vault in the church, near the altar, which was of marble.Fortunately, the fire was checked by the torrent of water before the flames reached this spot.Though the altar was practically destroyed, the resting place of the late father was not injured.A few statues, banners and emblems were rescued from the fiery element, but nearly all the paraphernalia, vestments and vessels of the church and clergy perished in the flames.The strong stone walls stood the test well, and do not appear to be injured to any appreciable extent.The heavy slate roof fell in during the rogress of the fire.There is nothing fete of the interior that can be used for reconstruction, and the rebuilding will mean an entirely new structure, with the exception of the outer walls.Tather Demers has generously offered the homeless congregation the use of St.Bridget\u2019s church, 53 Maison- neuve street, until other arrangements ean.be \u2018made or.the.ghurch rebuilt.The Rev.P.J.Brady 1s pastor \u2018of St; Mary\u2019s, and the Rew.Fathers Cella- han end Heffernan,- assistants.Owing to the character, material and surroundings of the church building, there was not much damage by nearby buildings catching fire.Apart from the raw, cold morning air it was not a bad fire to fight.The.fire s under control within an hour of the: first arrival of the brigade.The street cars were unable to pass on Craig street until about «eight o'clock.THE LOSSES The loss by the fire is estimated at between sixty thousand and seventy-five thousand dollars, and the insurance is } secretary, G 351.800.divided as follows among the undermentioned companies;

expressed Limself as well sasistied with the success he met with.He found British capitalists and British people generally well disposed towards Canada and Canadians, and thinks Canada will aottract much Brit- 181 grants during the next few years.He hesitated about discussing municipal matters, as he had been absent so long and was not thoroughly posted on the local events of the past two months.As far as he was concerned, he had left bis interests in the hands of a committee of his friends when he went away, and the terms on which he\u201d had consented to withdraw his -can- didature were familiar to everybody, as he understood his letter to his committee had been published.He had heard while in Paris that Mr.Cochrane had been elected mayor, and he at once \u2018cabled him his congratulations.He bad kpown Mr.Cochrane for a good \u201cmany years, and he anticipated .nat he would make a very acceptable mayor.He hoped that Mayor Cochrane would take a strong stand on the harbor

Lesson for [lontreal MR.HAYS, REPRESENTING THE GRAND TRUNK, ATTENDS MEETING.There are probably twenty railway \u2018systems using the level icrossings of Chicago.These crossings have been, they still are, murderous.The newwpapers used to ke-p a record of the number * où people whom they killed in the year.Perhaps they have ceased to do so, but the Chicago press frequently said.that the crossings were more fatal to life than war.: Some time ago the Chicago Corpdfa- tion passed an ordinance giving the several railwey systems two years in which 10 abolish level crossings, and elevate their tracks.The sum involved, mclud- mg the erection of an immense union station, will be something like thirty million dollars.\u201d The various railway interests involved have been aroused, and several meetings have taken place\u2014meetings et which plans for reconstruction were tentativly discussed.Last week another meeting took place, at which Mr.Hays, general manager of the Grand: Was pres- The Grand Trunk and the C.P.Rare, où course, interested in the project, as both-companies, through their affiliations, use the level crossings in Chicago, Mr.Hays has returned from the west, and it is mnderstood that progress was made in regard to the carrying out of plans to meet the by-law, which the city of Chicago is determined to enforce.The level-crossing question in Montreal is a small one compared with the proportions which it assumes in a great city like Chicago, but the example set by the latter may have some\u2019 effect in hastening such measurés as will remove the constant menace of the level crossings in the west end of the city.All told, there are probably mot more than three million dollars invoived, but the question for a long time past, has appeared to be insoluble.\u2018Me: Hays, during his former connection with the Grand Trunk system, was most zealous in giving new life and interest to the question, and it is possible that at the head of affairs once more he may be able to arrange such terms between the company and the city as will bave the effect of putting an end to a state of things whieh is quite intolerable in a congested district of the city, where hundreds of school children are exposed to danger every day.: tamer McGILL Y.M.C, A.LADIES\u2019 AUXILIARY The Ladies\u2019 Auxiliary of the McGill Y.M.C.A., held its annual meeting, at

not a cold impersonal deity, ut the personal spirit, imminent and transcendent and worthy of all adora- THE REV.W.R.HARVEY.tion, trust and love.He knew him really but imperfectly in the wondrous workmanship of his hands; in the workings of bis providence; in history and in revelation.But he knew him best of all in Jesus Christ.God manifested in Christ claimed his love, demanded his service and invited \u201chis\u201d trust.He saw in Christ, obedience, toil, devotion, pity, compassion, and sympathy, and heard his voice inviting the weary to rest.fie needed not arguments to prove bis identity.He was human and divine; all-knowing and loving; the \u2018world\u2019s life-giver, the world\u2019s sin- bearer; mot .the guiltless punished for the guilty, but the innocent bearing for the sinner, his sin.his suffering and his shame.Because Christ is God incarnated, God the invisible - Spirit, manifested in the flesh, he could say with Dr.Harris, \u2018the suffering son of God is the suffering God,\u2019 and with Dr.Abbott \u2018what Christ was in three short years God is in all eternity.\u201d When he thought of God he did not think of one God among many, or the best God of many; He was the one God, supreme, above the things He had made, the personal and knowable God.He did not think of him as separated into three distinct personalities.| His belief was claimed his triunity of manifestation as Fathèr, Saviour and Comforter.But the central point in all his view was the cross of Christ.It was the supreme revelation of God's eternal love.Supremely, Christ was the Saviour; not theoretical nor in a.mighty abstract; nor by imputed righteousness.He saved not primarily from a future of remorse, nor principally to set a crown upon our heads at some distant day.He was to him the Saviour from sin, actual and real.He brought peace on account of reconciliation.The regeneration of society must come through the regeneration of the individuals composing it, .and the- eross of Christ war the dynamic of all social reform.The business of the church and preacher, first and foremost, was the redemption of.men from sin, and next, the closing of the saloon; the expelling .of the sweater: the removal of oppressions; the dethroning of the tyrant; and active participation in-all sober measures of social reform.The preacher was not a member of a spe- \u2018cial macerdotal class, but a man to whom God had spoken, facing men to uO Advertisements.Burdock Blood .Bitters + Makes oo Permanent \u201cGures Of such severe diseases as scrofula, running sores, salt rheum or eczema, ' shingles, erysipelas and cancer, as well as boils, blotches, pimples, constipation, sick headache, dyspepsia, and all-disorders of the stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels and blood.We have proved by the dozens of testimonials - published : lately that Burdock Blood Bitters always does its work thoroughly and completely, 80 people know that when B.B.B.cures them they\u2019re cured to stay | God-directed effort.OVE POLISH ed.Absolutely Odorless.| whom God was speaking.He must have the right to speak without fear or favor upon all great moral phases of political issues.Je must not be a sectarian.He must not be impatient with those whose opportunities _have been more limited than his own.He was not the conduit of his people\u2019s prayers, the avenue of their apvroach, nor a sort of ecclesiastical Santa Claus through whom alone the Christly word and power shall come.The word most often on Christ\u2019s lips was not \u2018church,\u2019 but \u2018kingdom.\u201d There was no creedal test applied, and no sacrament made the ' gateway of admission.Love was the : Bond of union.The church had but two sacraments, baptism and the communion around the | Lord\u2019s table.\u2018The first was for the conscious adult.For the non-conscious infant there was a consecration, entered into br those who gave him birth or guard his life, to train him in the way of faith.To the Lord\u2019s table should be welcomed all who love the King and through his revelation of the \u2018unseen God say \u2018Our Father! He believed in the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures.\u201d Speaking of this world, he believed its golden age was vet to be.The Gospel would yet bring | within the Kingdom of Jesus the great, the rich, the powerful, the least, the lost and the last.It would yet awake the great uncouth nations into joy and Millennialism had no part in his system.Death was a passing out from phy- i sical limitations into spiritual freedom.He affirmed his faith in the immortality of all men.He believed in the resur- rection\u2014the upstanding of man.The world beyond was nota region of shadows or disembodied spirits.There would be granted an organism for the use of the spirit.It would not be a return of the body that died; it would be a \u2018clothing upon\u2019 He thought there would be no intervening period between death and resurrection.\u2018Man, complete in all that personality requires, stands up, alive, beyond the great change we call death, having in the same hour died and risen again.\u2019 Resurrection accordingly is not simultaneous.for all; but continuous or successive.Beyond this life is the judgment, judgment as to works and character.Sin is the separator of men from God.To be shut out of fellowship with him, and to be in the continuous company of all sinful beings.\u2018this is outer darkness, the bitterness of remorse, the greatest of all pains.\u2019 As a final word the preacher maid he longed to keen close to him through whom he had found .his father and.mother, and mained: forgiveness, and.he wovld, Tike Paul, follow after, that he might know him and the power of his resurrection.professing not to have apprehended, hut pressing forward for the prize of the character of Christ.WITH THE YOUNG PEOPLE MR.J.S.BUCHAN, K.C., GIVES INTERESTING TALK ON \u2018A LOAF OF BREAD.The young people\u2019s half-hour series of talks on natural history was resumed on Saturday afternoon in the Natural His tory Rooms by Mr.J.S.Buchan, K.C., giving the \u2018History of a loaf of Bread.In a simple manner Mr.Buchan spoke of the long record of bread, which was mentioned in the Bible, away back in the time of Abrabam, and reference was made to the chief baker of Pharaoh.Bread, he said, according as it was .scarce or.plentiful, had had its effect upon history.Speaking of Manitoba and the great Canadian North-West Mr.Buchan said they were large enough to grow sufficient wheat to supply almost the whole civilized \u201cworld.On Saturday afternoon -mext Prof.Wesley Mills, M:D., will lecture in the same place on \u2018What we eat and what es \u2018of it\u201d rar A LARGELY ATTENDED FUNERAL The funeral of John Robert Bourassa, youngest son of Captain Bourassa, deputy harbor master of the port of Montreal, took place on Saturday afternoon from the family residence, 151 Berri street, to Cote des Neiges cemetery.The chief mourners were the father and brothers, while among those who followed the remains to their last resting place were the 'Hon.Senator Mackay, Major David -Seath, Messrs.John Kennedy, George E.Smart, John McLean, Robert A, Eakin, Hon.James McShane, John Dick, Ald.Robillard, Fire Chief bois, E.H.Lemay, Alphonse Racine, Jas.Mclean, L.H.A.Archambault W.R.Eakin, Richard Gahan, J.W Ureignton, ii gh Sym, J.Uechrane, L.A.Desy, J.P.Garnon, Ald.Lamarche.SUNDAY OBSERVANCE THE REV.J.G.SHEARER DISCUSSES INFRACTIONS OF THE SUNDAY LAWS.In the Dominion Square Methodist Church yestérday mornmg the Rev.J.(.Shearer, of the Lord\u2019s Day Alliance Association, preached to a large congregation.The speaker touched on the extensive breaking of the Sabbath Day in this province and called attention to the way that business and sports were indulged in around this city and thought that the police of Montreal should put a stop to the many violations.of the Sunday laws.All places of business should be closed on the Lord\u2019s D should be treated and regarded in the manner intended; that of a day of rest.He hoped, however; that the new administration\u2019 that had been elected to conduct the municipal affairs would at- teud to the same and see that the laws of the city.were rigidly\u2019 enforced._ It took nearly five minutes for one of these Benoit, Joseph Contant, Henri Charle- | ay, and 1 | tion of work, and the dramatist.has\u2019 THE ° The Dominion OFFICES F Burglary Guarantee Company Limited, AN THE ADVANCE MESSENGER SERVICE ARE NOW L 140 St.Pe \u201cWITNESS\u201d OCATED AT ter Street, BUILDING.CHINESE NEW YEAR\" AN INTERESTING DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS.nc -\u2014 Teo The Chinese New Year came in like a lion, or rather like the national dragon ; and the weather he brought, though caleu- lated to heighten the jollity within by contrast with the blustering wind without, was \u2018hardly of a kind to permit of outdoor rejoicing.That was, of course, the Saturday \u2018before last, and Mr.Sam Wah, who had spent a large amount of money in laying up a store of fireworks wherewith to make suitable sacrifice to his ancestors, decided on reference to the weather bulletin that the said ancestors would have to wait.Last Saturday night was more propitious,\u201d \u2018and quite a crowd gathered to witness Mr.Wah\u2019s pyrotechnical devotions.The small boy was present in force and he fairly gasped with envy at the huge stock of the fireworks that most he admired \u2014the beloved cracker.In size, in \u2018qüan- tity, in ability to make themselves heard, the crackers were simply immence.Mr.Wah had fixed up a pulley in, the tree in front of his laundry and from it, one at a time, he hung immense ropés\u2018 of crackers, fifteen feet long and as \u201cthick round as a python.When lit at the bof this dragon from the Celestial Empird \u2018exploded itself upward with deafening ror and rattle that must haye been a ¥ary good imitation of Paardeberg, with ithe rattle of the small arms interspersed «with the harsher detonation of the pom-poms.engines of noise to expend its energies; and then, when you thought it was out, Its last expiring flicker reached the.flat venemous looking head which exploded with unexpected force, scattering a still further supply of crackers among the crowd.Three of these ropes were sacrificed andi in the intervals rockets soared in the alr and roman candles sent their parti-colpred balls in the same direction, but failed to arrive at the same altitude.The exhibition finished up with a.mine that scattered balls of varlous colored light In every direction, which, lighting on.the doorsteps or on the snow, burnt some thirty or forty seconds and illuminated the scene very prettily.All the time Mr.Wah and his friends were everywhere in evidence enjoying themselves like schoolboys, .and it is well to be believed that only thé question of expense Keeps ths thrifty Chipaman from celebrating New Year's Day every Saturday night in the year.3 \"A SUCCESSFUL DINNER.» The officials and employees of the Montreal Rolling Mills Company took their annual dinner at the Place Viger Hotel on Saturday night.It was the second of these occasions and some sizty-five were present to partake of the cheer provided.The chair was taken by the manager of the company, |.Mr: Willlam McMaster, supported on his right by the superintendent, Mr.M.F.Derrick.and his left by Mr.J.R.King- born.Recitations were given by Messrs.F.S.Hickey, T.Turner, H.Diplock and E.Osborne.ip AYONMOUTH\u2019S NEW.DOCK WILL TAKE UP TWENTY-FIVE ACRES AND COST.TWO MILLION POUNDS.The current issue of \u201cThe Traveller\u2019 contains an interesting article on the projected new dock to be built at Av- onmonth at a cost of two million pounds |.sterling.The first sod of the works is to be cut by H.R.H.the Prince of Wales on March 5.The scheme in question comprises the construction of a dock with a water space of :some twenty-five and a half acres, capable of further increase to forty acres in all, more than three thousand feet of \u2018quay frontage, about three hundred and twen-.ty-five thousand squure feet of shed ac commodation, something like four miles.of railway sidings and berthage in both dry and wet docks for vessels a hundred and fifty in excess in length of anything to-day, even contemplated.Messrs.Xlder, Dempster & Co.have promised: to make Bristoi the terminus of the Imperial {team Navigation Company, the.new company which, under agreement\u2019 with tbe Colonial Office, was.abant.to inangurate the new direct line to\u2019 Ja- matea for the encouragement of thé fruit trade, the pauucea which a royal commission had recommended for the prevailing depression in the islands.À \u201cMR.IBSkoS HEALTH.Christiania, Norway, Feb.17.\u2014Aîter |\u201d - a \u2018year's.complete rest, Henrik Ibsen : has so far recovered his health that ns.physicians have sanctioned his resump- If you are only pleased and NOT DELIGHTED with Queen of Roses Flour we shall be disappointed.S- H- @ M: Bias Velvet Brush Edge Skirt Bindings, having no braid top, cannot chafe the shoes.201 IRISH LINENS Ladies\u2019 Hemstitohed > Linen Cambric Hand, k kerchiefs, Hemstitch.J te ed Sheer Linen Lawn HandKerchiefs, woven Double Damask Table Cloths dnd kins, Huckaback Towels and Towelling, ete, ste.No seconds of any kind kept in stock.ect.goods guaran .J.V.CALCUTT.12 Cathcart St, Phillipssquare.° Fits Gured Free \"KLINE'S GREAT NERVE RESTORER Cures all kinds ef Nervous Disorders\u2014Ne Fits after first day\u2019s use \u2014Send to Dr.R.H, Kline, Co., 931 Arch Street, Philadelphia, for trial bottle.Agent for Canadae J.A.HARTE, 22reert, 1739 Netre Dame Street Montreak | FIFTEEN INTERNATIONAL MEDALS Age LYONS\u2019 INK.MORTON PHILLIPS ECO, Professional.ARCH.MCCOUN, K.C., IMPERIAL BUILDING \" Tel.Main 1318.Room 31, R.A.DUNTON, 8.c., : NOTARY, Ete., TEMPLE BUILDING, 185 St.James Street FUNDS FOR INVESTMENT, MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED ANDREW R.McMASTER, ADVOCATE & SOLICITOR, 848 New Yori Life Building.;

had reviewed briefly the peculiar role that Israel had played in the history of the world, he expressed the hope that the Oanadian Jews might produce some day such men as Disraeli and Montefiore, who had shed lustre on the Jewish race and rendeced great service to Great Britain.The Rabbi assured the congregation that he would always think kindly of Montreal, and the ontreal Jews, and that he would pray for the pros rity for Canada and the Canadian ews.RUBBER MANUFACTURERS MEET.A meeting was held at the Windsor Hotel on Saturday last of the Rubber Shoe Manufacturing Association.It is understood

SERMONS THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES THRONGED WITH WORSHIPPERS, Judging from the immense congratulations that gathered in the principal Catholic churches yesterday to hear the special pr announced, the sermons of the Lenten season in Montreal will be a great success, As usual, the church of Notre Dame had the largest number of worshippers, this fact being due not only to the large dimensions of the edifice, but also to the great reputation of the preacher, Mgr.Rozier, already so favorably khown to \u2018Montrealers by his sermons of the previous year.Fully 12,000 people were present, and not only every pew on the ground floor and in the galleries was filled, but benches and chairs had been placed in all the aisles, and those who could not be thus actommodated were satisfied with standing room during the long service.After telling his hearers how happy he felt to be once more among them, Mgr.Rozier announced tbe subject of his series of sermons, which would simply be that page of the Gospel relating the evangelical period of Christ's life, and to begin with, be would, on this occasion, speak of the precursor, John the Baptist.Developing then the text \u2018Behold, I will send my messenger, and he ehall prepare the way be- fcre me,\u2019 he showed John the Baptist preparing himself for his great mission by years of prayer, meditation, retirement and frugal life, efterwards coming boldly and authoritatively before the world with dhe cry and warning: \u2018Prepare the way, for the Lord is coming.\u2019 His preaching was always the same.\u2018Prepare the way,\u201d end as an explanation to those who qudetioned him as to the mode which they should\u2019 adopt, he showed the Master under the figure of a winnower gathering in the good grain and consuming the stubble.John was the Voice and Christ, whom he announced, was the Living Word.In bis conclusions, the preacher said that, like john, he came to this congregation with the same cry: \u2018Prepere the way, for the Load is coming.\u2019 The sermon lasted nearly one hour, during which the talented orator kept his immense audience entranced with his eloquent and powerful language.IN OTHER CHURCHES.In St.James Cathedral, another large congregation Hstemed to Mgr.Emard, bish® of Valleyfield, who spoke eloquently on -the tian finds his true life in the word of God.The Rev.Father L.Lalonde, S.J.,is again the preacher in the Church of the Gesu.His well-known eloquence end past succes | ses were sufficient te attract a large con- egation, and the Bleury street church SE ited to the doors.Father Lelonde's course of eermons will be on \u2018Catholic action at the present time.\u2019 Yesterday, as an introduction, he spoke of Christ as the type of action upon which all Christians must model their life.25c.DR.A.W.CHASE'S CATARRH CURE.: is sent direct to the diseased proved Blower.parte by the Im J c eals the ulcers, clears the sir passages, stops droppings the 8 ; ay Fever, Blower free, All or

BUT MISUNDERSTANDINGS HAVE DISAPPBARFD\u2014 HIS VIEWS OF CHURCH WORE.The new v : Church Cat order of things at Christ hedral was inaugurated terday morning, with the Rey.Fr J.Seen, M.A, occupying his new position as vicar.Mr.Steen occupied dur ing the service the seat formerly \u2018oceu- pied by the rector, in the lower chancel, the rector, the Ven.Archdeacon porto, occupying the stall reserved Archdeacon of St.Andrew\u2019 in the upper chancel.The capacious ed: fice was crowded to ite \u2018full capacity among the à i i i P g congregation being practical- y all of those who had absented themselves since last Easter, several families [Tho have absented themselves for a onger trme, and not a few familiss who never previously belonged to the Cathe al congregation.Quite a.pumber of wow

for speaking of himself.After ten months\u2019 absence and contrary to all expectations, he found himeelf once more back in the Cathedral pulpit as one of the Cathedral clergy.e felt thankful to be back for he had realized a great admiration for the Cathedral with its chaste architecture, its dign ified services and its \u2018great power for doing good.-Respecting his meturn to the church, Professor Steen said he did so because of the settlement of certain differences.(He had expected to take up work in another field, but most unexpectedly to him, a proposition had been made by the rector, wardens and select vestry to return to the Cathedral as one of the assistant clergy, and the proposition was of such 3 character that he felt bound to consider it.After much thought, and on ihe advice of friends whose judgment he.most highly valued, he came to \u2018the conclusion that his duty was to return to the Cathedral.Whether the step was wise or unwise he could not say, the future alone comld decide that, but he tried to do his duty in the matter.For the benefit of all concerned it was best that there should be no misunderstanding as to the basis on which he returned.He owed it to himself and to the congregation to explain that he had not consented to modify his doctrixal views or his expression of them in any respect.The facts of the recent dis pute were familiar to everybody, and it was the wisest course for all to fol- \u2018low with regard to the past to forget and forgive.To prevent any misconception he would say that hé had not \u2018retracted anything he had said.He was bound by his ordination vows alone, and they gave all the freedom he desired or ever did desire.There had been misunderstandings as to his teachings, as they all knew, and it had taken time for the clouds to roll away, but perhaps gos would flow from it.Per- \u2018haps they would realize more thoroughly \u2018the breadth and fullness of the Church.The Church of England was dogma or teaching, but a real, living branch of the Church Catholic, embracing every aspect of the truth of Christ.In taking up his new duties he was actuated by a desire to make the Cathe- drel even a mightier power for good in the community.A church must justify its existence by aéonstant, adherence to the purpose to do good to all men, to ake humanity more Christlike, to bring in the kingdom of heaven.There were three principal ways: in which the Cathedral could be made to fulfil its lofty mission, .First, by the regular services of the church, the regular earnest intercession for all humanity\u2019s needs, devout, earnest rayers for all, entreating God to bless, bep and purify all life, the, faith, sincerity and honest devotion of those who worship there.No church so thoroughly as the Church of England, with her beautiful, soul lifting liturgy and stately solemn services, realized the sublimity of real worship\u2014the homage and adoration due to God himself.The Cathedral would justify its existence by maintaining an open door to the stranger, the wayfdrer and the \u2018storm-tossed.t such enter the sacred portals, and they should be made to feel that they had to be nearer heaven, and to lift up his soul in gratitude, supplication and adoration to almighty God.Those connected with the Cathedral for the last eighteen years had seen a steady improvement, an advance towards beauty, dignitjp and solemnity in ite services.The conception.of public worship had during the last century undergone a great \u20ac Church of England, and the services of the church had become more thorough! inspiring and soullifting.; dral must justify its existence was by the teaching of the pure Gospel from the pul- it.Ts teaching, as far as he zould make it, would be such as would bear fruit m the members of the congregation ers.He should try to teach a doctrine loyal to tht Book of Common Prayer and its obligations, and with neither fear of honest modern thought nor unreasonable.hostility to it.He should preach the application of pure; holy religion to; the aspirations and needs of the twentieth century.- The third way open for the Cathedral to justify its existence was by the totality of the work of the parish.The various congre Sunday-echool, the Auxiliary, the Do reas Society, etc, were doing good wirk, add MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.mot a sect, not

Feb.17,\u2014A hundred and fifty mounted infantrymen while patrolling the Klip river, south of Johannesburg, on Feb.12, surrounded a farm house where they suspected Boers were in hiding.À single Boer broke away from the house, and the British started to pursue.The Boer climbed a kopje, the British following.Immediately a heavy fire was opened upon them from three sides.The British found themselves in a trap, and in a position where they were unable to make a defence.British officers made a gallant effort and .defended themselves with carbines and revolvers until they were overpowered.The British had two officers and ten men killed ard several officers and forty men wounded before the force was able to fall back under cover of a blockhouse.Lord Kitchener, in addition to a report of the

the war, taking the British side with almost passionate earnestness, and appealing to the Boer soldiers, after their heroic resistance, to be brave enough to acknowledge defeat, and desist from warfare which could not be justified on the grounds of expediency or necessity.The American bishop al- #0 boldly predicted the reunion of the warring races in South Africa, almost as speedily as the North and South had been drawn together after the Civil War.\u2014 GERMAN SLANDERS STRONG PROTEST FROM THE NEW \u2018 SETTLEMENT IN NATAL.Durban, Natal, Feb.17.\u2014A largely attended meeting of Germans was held yesterday in the new German settlement.An indignant protest was signed denying on personal knowledge the slanders on the British troops that have appeared in the German press at home.Most of the speeches were in German.The speakers described the newspaper statements as horrible libels and devilish lies.They cited evidence to prove that the charges were false and paid tributes to the British for their attitude in the war, and condemned the conspiracy against them which was meeting with support in the German press.New York, Feb.17.\u2014The London correspondent of the \u2018Tribune,\u2019 Mr.I.N.Ford, in a despatch from London, says: \u2018The army estimates disclose a reduction of thirty thousand men on the pay rolls in South Africa, and material reduction in the

success than the earlier despatches admitted, bui oth- erwige there has been no British misha in a long period.De Wett\u2019s force, originally estimated at two thousand men, has been reduced by later despatches to one-quarter of that number, and figures given for the remaining burghers in the range River Colony are equally elastic.Lord Kitchener is concentrating his efforts upon the capture of this force, with De Wett and Steyn, as the shortest and most effective method of ending the war.\u2019 ANOTHER LELEGATION DR.MUELLER NOW ON HIS WAY, TO VISIT PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.The Hague, Feb.17.\u2014The members of the Boer delegation have left The Hague, and have not announced their destination.» It is rumored that they have started.for the United States.Brussels, Feb.17\u2014It is said that the desire to keep tke departure of Dr.Mueller, the former consul of the Orange Free State in Holland, for the United Btates a secret, was so keen that the Boer booked his passage under an assumed name.According to inforida- tion from responsible Boer quarters, Mr.Kruger's letter to President Roosevelt, of whieh Dr.Mueller is the bearer, does not appeal for intervention, but expresses regret that he is unable at pres- end.to personally congratulate President Roosevelt on his accession to office, and concludes with a gratified allusion to the numerous invitations to visit the great republic which have arrived, and are stl arriving.Besides.reorganizing the Boer propaganda in the United\" States, Dr.Mueller will direct his efforts principally in obtaining government prohibition of the-exportation of.articles Tégard- ed by the Boers as contraband of war, thus indirectly eliciting am opinion on the war from the United States Government.New York, Feb.17\u2014The Lond correspondent

Post.\u2019) London, Feb.15.\u2014The Japanese treaty on the whole is well received here.Its first appeal to Englishmen is that it practically releases.the British fleet in the Far East for contingencies nearer home; secondly, it goes further than any previous measure to secure the open door for British trade in-China.The fact that rapprochement with Japan is the policy to which Lord Rosebery, Lord Salisbury and Lord Lansdowne have successively been led is accepted as proof that a frank, friendly, all-round understanding with Russia is out.of the question, not because the Czar himself or even M.de Witte does not desire it, but because the Russian system of administration leaves so much latitude to local administrators, whose Oriental methods are ral- culated to undermine the best of understandings between principals.Russia and Great Britain must seemingly pursue individual ways in Asia.Rather than incite to war, the Anglo-Japanese compact will, British officialdom believes, by its frank avowal of British and Japanese disinterested intentions and \u2018by its plain evidence of unaggressive strength, reduce the risk of war to a minimum.Lord Rosebery\u2019s emphatic repudiation of the Irish Nationalist policy, at Liverpool last night, revives the suggestions of the possibility of an advance upon the tentative steps recently taken to bring him \u2018and Mr.Chamberlain together as leaders of a new mationad party.A closer knowledge of the minds of both men as evidenced in their latest speeches disposes of any such suggestion.For example, Mr.Chamberlain denounces as wild and wilful Lord Rosebery\u2019s suggestions for informal negotiations with the Boer delegates in Europe.hen, :Lord Rosebery suggested lavish treatment of the Boer combatants at the end of the war, while Mr.Chamberlain\u2019: declares that the Boer leaders must -suffer perpetual banishment.Again, Lord Rose- bery went out of his way yesterday to pour scorn on the Liberal Unionists who have allied themselves with the Toryism which has tolerated gross administrative inefficiency, such as the remounts and the South African meat contracts indicate, and which, also, perpetuates a ministry blind to the imperative demands of reform in the.legislation affecting \u2018that intolerable curse, worse than plague or pestilence,\u201d to which nine-tenths of intemperance.In truth, Lord Rosebery and Mr.Chamberlein were never further apart than to-day.Whatever Lord Rosebery ecomes in the future, he will not be a Liberal Unionist leader.Lord Duffierin\u2019s tragic end revives the discussion of the inequality with which England rewards.the services of her: best men.Many American commercial leaders receive salaries equal to that of four or five British Cabinet Ministers put together.Mr.Schwab\u2019s salary would.pretty well pay the whole British Cabinet.Lord Rol , for one successful military achievement, is grented $500, 000 _in .cash, with a substantial pension to himself and his heirs.Duffer- in devoted forty years to the highest services of the Empire as Viceroy of Canada and India, and Ambassador at the mast difficult posts, again and again preventing costly wars.Yet at the end of it all he is left with a pension of $8,000, quite inadequate to emable him to maintain position which the country had taught him to occupy.As a result, he falls a prey to the company mongers, with disastrous results *o himeelf, while his Countess is left.at the mercy of $5,000 gifts from sympathetic shareholders.As ome reviewer saya to-day : \u2018There is something wrong

condemnation of the ineptitude of the vernment-and his repudiation of- Mr.hamberlain\u2019s proclamation of last September, but do not profess-to understond how the Liberal party can be brought abreast with the times merely by throwing overboard all the principles and policies with which it recently has been identified.It will be necessary for him to attract the Radicals by some definite proposals for future work, for they cannot be caught by phrases like \u2018clean -slate\u2019 and \u2018fresh start.\u201d ° 5 His oratory is chiefly remarkable for caution and adroitness, except \u201con the: Irish question, on which hé -is emphatic and outspoken.He makes it plaif-\u2018that he will not attempt to- rally the \u2018party unless it cuts loose from Gladstone's home rule policy and appeals forthe support of the country without any embarrassing alliance with Kruger\u2019s national champions.This is what he describes as the process of cleaning the slate.The only fresh \u2018problem for the new slate is temperance, and his figures are set down faintly.- \u201cPossibly it ie a concession to Sir William- Vernon Harcourt i) Who celebrated \u2018her: SRA to mention

his own mind.This means much when there is no other Liberal leader in sight.ve THE NEW TREATY.England has got fairly out of the'South African slough this week and is benefited by the change of scene.The treaty with Japan is the first question which has filled the public mind to the exclusion of everything else since Kruger's ultimatiim was despatched: The effect of \u2018a fresh topic of absorbing interest has beeù- a \u2018distinatly invigorating stimulant to Rational pride.It was needed after the protracted period of preoccupation\u2019 with the barassing guerilla warfare, at- once difficult and inglorious, and it has come Lensdowne\u2019s treaty and the econscious- ness.that England has again assumed the: responsibilities of leadership in.the Far East.~Singularly.enough, the stron, attack upon the: new di 3 comes from the stronghold: of sentimental\u2019 optimism.The \u2018Spectator,\u2019 taking counsel from its own nervousness, complains that Russia has been proclaimed

nom-intervention in foreign affairs, and ended with the laissez faire policy of trading everywhere with the least possible interference, and with absolute free play of competitive forces.This treaty is proof that the freedom of commerce cannot be secured by irresponsible trading, and that powerful governments must guarantee and.safeguard the principles of the open door in the interest of collective commerce of the mari time world.It is an international combination, or trust, with England and Jan as the managing directors, and the nited States and Germany silent partners.etna ENGLAND

+ In responding.to the address -of greeting of the delegates, Miss Anthony referred to her fifty years of work in the cause of woman suffrage, saying she had consecrated her life to it.She was unable to \u2018proceed further on account of emotion.Mrs.Catt then announced that \u201cit had been the intention to give Miss Anthony \u2018a birthday present, fut, knowing her aversion to attentions of this kind, she said it was proposed to recognize her birthday by having the members pledge the sum of $5,000 for .carrying on the campaign of woman's suffrage.- The \u2018delegates responded with surprising alac: tity, and-the announcement that $5,102: had been subscribed was greeted with vociferous applause.There was no afternoon session of the convention.The national officers and the
