leases take place Liu tire lessees remain in possession si.rv than eight days after the expira- of such leases without opposition or \u201c:.e on the part où the lessors.A tacit renewal takes effect for another var or the term for which the lease was made, if for less than a year.The jexee cannot thereaîter leave the prem- cs, nor can the lessor eject him, un- jews a notice, as described below, has been given.When such a notice has bern given the lessee cannot claim the benetit of a tacit renewal.\\\\ hen no time is specified for the lease of uouses, apartments, shops, and all un movable property, except farms and rural cslates, the lease is held to be annual.terminating on May 1 of each year.when \u2018he rent\u2018 at so much a yeaït for the month when the rent is at so mmch a month.for the day when the rent is at so much a day.Where, however, the rate of rent for a certain time is not shown, the lease is regulated by the usage of the place.When the term of lease is uncertain, or the lease is a verbal or presumed vne, notice by either party to termimate it must be given within a delay of three months if the rent be payable at terme of three or more months; if the rent be payable at less than three months a notice of one month must be given; if the rent is payable at so much a month, a ay.If the property lezsed be a farm orro- ral estate, and no tmoe be

against subeequent purchasers, ist be registered In the registry of- - of the county wherein the property -\u2018uated; if this is not done the lessee rely has the right to damages from LENSOT, \u201cen a loss by fire occurs in the mses leased there is a legal pre- ption in favor of the lessor that it < ruused by the fault of the lessee or rc persons for whom be 1s responsi- ble and unless he can prove the contrary he is hable to the lessor lor the loss.I'he lessee, when under notice to vacate the premises, 1s bound to give the landlord reasonable facilities for persons to view the premises.By \u2018reasonable facilities\u2019 1t 15 not meant that the landlord shall have the right to send people to view the premises at any hour of the day or night.This obligation is satisfied if the tenant puts up a notice that the house may be viewed at such hours as may be most convenient, but the landlord may demand that the house may be viewed for a certain time every day.It is the general contention that a notice stating that the premises may be viewed between the hours of three and five o'clock in the afternoon satisfies the tenant\u2019s obligation 1n this respect.The tenant has a right to sub-let or to assign his lease unless there is a stipulation to the contrary.; The tenant is obliged to make certain lesser repairs which become necessary in the house or its dependencies during «lis occupancy.The following, among others, are deemed to be tenants\u2019 repairs, namely: To bearths, chimney-backs, chimney casings and grates.To the plastering of interior walls and ceilings.To floors, when partially broken, but not when in a state of decay.To window glass, unless it is broken by hail or other inevitable accident, for which the temant cannot be holden.To doors, windows, shutters, blinds, partitions, hinges, locks, hasps and other fastenings.The tenant ia not obliged to make the repairs deemed tenant's repairs, when they are deemed necessary by age or by irresistible force.Whenever any remt is due by a lessee, and is not paid when due, the propre- tor or lessor may notify the lessee, in writing, to quit the premises lease within a delay which ehall not be less than three clear days; and if he quits within the said delay, the rent due is remitted hm.If the lessee refuses or meglects to comply with the said notice within the gd specified delay, the lessor may, by suit before a competent court, have all the movables garnishing the leased premises, and which have not been removed within the specified delay, attached, and have them sold in the ordinary manner, without the said lessee having any right to avail himself of the exemption from seizure provided for under articles 598 and 599, paragraph 2.The lessor need not avail himself of the benefit of this article, and In that case he retains all his rights and recourse, as though this article did not exist.VILEGE OF RENEWAL.F.W.\u2014If a man rents a house for one or three years, the understanding \u201ceing that the tenant can leave at the end of the first year by giving notice on Feb.1, bat if no notice 18 given, to be understood that be keeps on the house for the balance of the term: (1) Bas the landlord the same right?Can he make this fenant move out on May 1 by giving notice to him on Feb.1 to go at the end of the first year?(2) Can tenant refuse to go?(3) How can landlord collect rent when tenant is very backward, only paying part of two months\u2019 rent in about nine months?(4) Can lease be broken on this account?Amps.\u2014(1) No.(2) Yes.(3) Take a seizure in ejectment, which will give you a judgment for the rent and will cancel the lease at the same time.(4) Yes.NEW TEMPERANCE BILL \u201cir, Ross gets Views of Alliance Secretary, Then

oi the whole of the voting popula- tion of the province, look for legislation of a progressive and useful character.Representative bodies bave clearly indicated their views on this question.It is too late in the day for mere additions to the license law restrictions or for stopping short at the improvement of local option methods.The bar-room system, with its dangerous and mischievous treating practices, must be absolutely abolished.M Mr.Whitnev's improved local option were accompanied by the general suppression of the bar-room and made to apply to the remaining liquor traffic, it would go a long way towards representing public opinion.but standing by itself, the Opposition leader\u2019s utterances in the : legislature are altogether too slight a reform to be accepted as meeting the necessities of the case.\u2018If the Premier's proposed bill cleans out this bar-room evil and gives reasonable additional restrictions, it will require to further recognize the )opular doctrine of local right, and give the people the power that Mr.Whitney ap- roves.\u2019 ; MR WHITNEY'S CONDITION THF NEW YORK MILLIONNAIRE UNDERGOES AN OPERATION FOR APPENDICITIS.New York, Feb.1\u2014The

ACCLAMATION.Marieville, Que, Jan.31.\u2014Nommations took place here to-day and the Hon.Mr.Brodeur having no opposition was elected by acclamation, there being over a thousand persons present.After Mr.Alfred Girard, M.P.P., had spoken briefly, Mr.Brodeur was called upon.The new minister remarked that after seven years\u2019 of silence he was now free to speak and would use this privilege in defending Sir Wilfgrid Laurier and his policy.He then an that, notwithstanding all that had been said: to the contrary, he would not abandon Rouville until the electors desired it.: The minister then told what the government had done for the tobacco indus try in Canada.In 1897 we had chased 9,609,000 pounds of foreign tobacco, and last year this had been reduced to 7,700,000 pounds.The Laurier Government bad imposed a duty of ten cents a pound, with the result that, whereas 474,100 pounds of Canadian tobacco had been made in 1896, the quantity had been increased to 3,167,200 pounds in 1903, and the number of factories increased from ten to twenty-seven in the same period of time.The Hon.Mr.Brodeur then took wp the allegation that the Liberals would destroy the industries of the country, making the statement as quoted above, He declared that while the Conservar, tives had only increased the value of à manafactured goods exported from, Can- ade in eighteen years by five xnillion dollars, the present ruling party, bad increased them eleven bullion dollars in seven years.He claimed credit for the present government for all new channels of trade and added that Germany would probably come to her knees and offer us reasonable trade terms on account of the surtax which bad been imposed.The new minister also pronounced himeelf strongly in favor of Canada possessing the right to negotiate her own treaties.He passed over the Alaska award lightly, but claimed that the British Government had failed to notify Lord Ashburton of the existence of a map giving Great Bri- tam the territory which was finally ceded to the United States.He would not take away from the British Government the right to allow or disallow treaties, bat he held that Canada should have the exclusive right to negotiate.The other speakers were the Hon.Raymond Prefontaine, the Hon.Mr.Beique, Senator J.P.B.Casgrain, Mr.Charles Parmalee, Marcil, Demers and Victor {jen firion.M.P.s, and A.Bergeron,

THE TAKING OF THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE.Winnipeg, Feb.1.\u2014The legislature spent Saturday afternoon in supply, many items rec#iving scathing criticism on tie part of the Liberal Opposition members.The appointment of Mr.T.M.Daly as police magistrate for Winnipeg at an advanced salary, for the position so ably filled by Mr.Baker, the former magistrate, was one of the chief topics of dis- Cuasion Among the deputations to which Mr.Roblin, the Premier, gave audience on Saturday, was a party of Galicæn citizens.They ask that the qualification neceseary for a Galician to become a full- fledged British subject be made the same as that for other forci .They were unable to understand why an exception should be made with the people of \u2018their nationality, and lodged a protest against what they considered an ir- Justice.The law as 1t at present stands provides thet a Galician must reside in the country for seven years before he can take the oath of allegiance and at- in a rights an

except Saturday and Sunday.FISCAL CAMPAIGN STRAWS ANY ATTEMPT TO RUSH THE COUNTRY MEANS CERTAIN DEFEAT.(Canadian Associated Press.) London, Feb.1\u2014Some of the most convinced tariff reformers consider the main lesson to be drawn from the re cent by-elections is that much patient and practical educational work is required.Any attempt to rush the country has already been disclaimed by the most eminent of them all, and a prominent member of the tariff commission, in referring to this, said that although an immedite appeal to the country may not be desired it is not to be regarded as out of the question.The various currents of opinion on the point are to be noted among the supporters of the government -and the political situation at the Ton might tak so curious that dissolu- on m e place at any moment after parlioment reassembles.It will come by an accidental combimation of circumstances.To from -the conversation of a group of Liberal members of a election will come sooner than and Liberals assume will have a majority, which will place their recognized ers in power.A section of the party favors the Duke of Devonshire as Prime Minister and Lord Rosebery as Secretary of Foreign Affairs.intimate aésociate of Lord Rose- bery tells the Canadian Associated Press that, contrary to society gossip, th - Premier has never taken a single step in the direction of plotting against Mr.| Campbell-Bannerman.London, Feb.1\u2014Mr.Chamberhin, speaking at Birmingham on Saturday, on the occasion of the unveiling of a memorial commemorating his services to the Empire, said he believed that only by visiting the great coknies could he produce the feeling he desired to see.e felt that by seeing them at work he would understand their sympathies and aspirations.London, Feb.1\u2014The New South Wales Political Labor League has adopted a legislative programme.The measures advocated are the establishment of a state bank; the abolition of the Legislative Council and Post State Governor; cessation of public borrowing, except for purposes of the redemption of the existing debts for the completion of public works;

Thomas, an Englishman.London, Feb.1\u2014Mr.James Smart, the Deputy Minister of the Interior, will be the guest of the Canadian Society at luncheon on Thursday, at the Holborn Restaurant.TOO MUCH SCOTCH IT CAUSES MUCH INSANITY.Traverse City, Micn.Feb.1\u2014The semi-annual joint meeting of the trustees of the Michigan asylums has closed.There was no very important business transacted, but the session was of special value and interest.Of exceeding interest was the address of Dr.W.M.Edwards, of Kalamazoo, who described his investigations of the European asylums, their methods, conduct and management.Those of Scotland, he said, are the best in the world.He gave the cause of a large percentage of insanity in Scotland as alcoholism due to drinking too much Scotch whiskey, and in -Germany a heavy percentage of aleohol- ism caused by too much beer drinking.RELEASE OF MRS.NAYBRICK SHE HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM AYLESBURY PRISON.London, Feb.1.\u2014ln spite of the mystery \u2018with which officlals shroud the action in conmection with the reported re- ledse of Mrs.Florence Maybrick, who is serving a life sentence for poisoning her husband, it can be definitely said that she bas been removed f Aylesbury prison.At the United States embassy it was most emphatically declared that she had not been pardoned and that she was still a prisoner.Where she was taken remains a mystery, but Te- ports from Aylesbury are to the effect that she bas been removed to some in- stituticn at Cornwall.The Home Of- nce and the governor of Aylesbury prison refuse to make any kind of state ment on the subject.If the ordinary course had been followed Mrs.Maybrick would have been taken to Holloway, if her immediate release was contemplated, but she is not there, and has probably been removed to some other prison of less rigorous discipline, where she can recuperate, prior to her release.Possibly she bas been conveyed to one of the government homes of detention or to an asylum.The \u2018Daily Mail\u2019 this morning says that Mrs.Maybrick is now in Liverpool and that the following conditions attach to Dez release from prison: That she will not appear on the public stage, or write a book of her ae get shall in no way endeavor to attract public attention to herself, A letter received in London on Saturday from the mother of Mrs.Maybrick, the Baroness De Roques, dated from her residence in France, on Jan.28, said she had just returned to France after visiting her daughter at Aylesbury prison.The Baroness added that she saw no possibility of her daughter\u2019s release \u2018until the end of July, and all reports to the contrary are absolutely false.\u2019 Though the letter was written to an intimate friend no mention was made by the Baroness of any removal of her daughter from Aylesbury.\u2014 PRINTERS OUT IN BOSTON.Boston, Mass., Feb.1.\u2014The strike of nine hundred book and job printers of Boston, Cambridge and vicinity was begun to-day.The trouble is over a new scale

waggon manufac- | turers\u2019 association.The lockout resulted from a refusal by the workers\u2019 union to agree to renew the agreement expiring at midnight last night with a new clause providing for conciliation and arbitration in settling disputes.Its officers pre- | sented demands for an average increase of ten percent in wages.At the office of Mr, Charles D.Heile, secretary of the

PURCHASE OF PROPERTY.Now York, Feb.1.\u2014A despatch to tue \u2018 Herald\u2019 from London says :\u2014S1- land Yard appears to have at last coma to the conclusion that in seeking an explanation of th: mystérious and sensational disappearance of £12,000 ($60,000) in Bank of England notes from the Hotel Metropole the London detective bureau is confronted by a problem worthy of the best efforts of Sherlock Holmes.The notes were missed on Friday mormnfg last, and for two whole days the idea was encouraged that their owner, Mr.George Marshall, solicitor for the Duke of Newcastle, had stored them away for safe-keeping and then forgotten where h: had hidden them.The lost money was to have been used in the purchase of property for the Duke.Mr.Marshall came to London with notes to the value of £18,000 ($90.000) in his waHet.He stayed at the Hotel Metropole and left his wallet with the hotel cashier, remarking that it contained a large sum of money.Next morning he received the wallet from the cashier and carried it to his room.He removed some papers from it, saw that the notes were all right, locked the wallet up and put it in bis portmanteau.Mr.Marshall closed the portmanteau without locking 1t and went downstairs.Mr.Marshall, on going out, closed the door, which fas tened itself with a spring lock.During his absence a chambermaid found the door to the room ajar.When Mr.Marshall returned to his room an hour later he went to the portmanteau and took owt the wallet, which, to his amaze ment, fell open as he ifted it.The wallet bad been cut n, and examination revealed the fact that £12,000 of the £18,000 was gone.The £6,000 in a separate envelope in the wallet had, apparently, been overlooked.Experts who have since examined the wallet said it was cut open by an exceedingly sharp knife, probaniy y a left-hand- ed person.The robbery is believed to be the work of an expert and daring gang, who have been preparing their plans for months.Mr.Marshall suspects he was shadowed to the hotel.He has more than one reason for \u2018his suspicion.In the corridor of the hotel on the night of his arrival, a well-dressed man brushed against him, saying \u2018good evening,\u2019 and in the morning on coming out of his room he met the same man on the stairs Had the man gone straight on he would have come to Mr.Marshall's room, but he turned aside and went into an empiy recess, It was a rather significant incident.Before Mr.Marshall left his room in the morning the door was opened by someone and quickly shut again.APPRENTICES WILL BE BOUND.Toronto, Feb.1.\u2014 The Toronto Employers\u2019 Association bas agreed on articles of apprenticeship, and in future the association members will, in as many instances as possible, bind their apprentices for a term of vears.This will be much aiter the fashion of the English emplovers, who bind apprentices in the finer trades for terms as long as seven years.The articles of apprenticeship agreed upon by the Employers\u2019 Association will touch thirty branches of trade in Canada.The terms for which the apprentice is bound will not exceed nve years and may be less, at the option of the firm that is binding.The binding will be done, as in England, by the parent of the apprentice.JUDGE ELLMWTT RETIRES.London, Ont, Feb.1\u2014Judge Wibiam Elliott retired on Saturday.havinp completed thirty-five continuous years as

her recent experience.\u2018We are a one-ser- vant establishment,\u201d she relates, \u2018and when last year my faithful Jane, who bad been with me eight years, decided to marry, I saw myself floating on a sea of trouble at once.To my great amazement, however, no less than three of Jane's intimate friends came separately to see me, asking for the place, 1t seems that Jane had given me a good reputation, and these girls were anxious to work for me.One of them, who was out of a place at the moment, I took, and she has proved a treasure.The point of my story is yet to come.It is that it pays in more ways than one to attempt to combat that curious antagonism that the average maid has for her mistress.It took fully two years for me to do it in the case of Jane.I treated her considerately, as 1 do any servant, but she was sullen and unresponsive, One day when she bad a headache I called down through the epeak- ing-tube to her to say that, as she felt so badly, she need not make a rather elaborate pudding 1 had ordered for dessert, and that we would have fruit instead.Befort I could turn away I heard her mimicking my voice and message to herself, adding, \u201ca lot she cares how I feel.\u201d 1 was provoked for a mo- \u201cment, then I thought of her shut-in, narrow life (she could neither read nor write), and I resolved then and there that I would win her confidence.Jt was slow work.She distrusted, half resented, indeed, every kindness, wmtil she had been with me about two years.Then we had a great trolley strike in our city, and the man she expected sometime to marry, who was a motorman, went out with the rest.Jane was unhappy and discouraged, and one morning I found her crying at her work.It seemed that the little she had saved towards their future had dwindled away in his support, and now he was desperate.Jt chanced that my husband had some influence, and I told her that I would see what could be done.Within |a week the man was installed at a 1 .fought down.job that suppored him, with something to spare.bat broke down the last barrier.From that moment I owned Jane.The next winter grippe invaded our household, and we were all down at once with it.Jane had it too, but never gave up and never told us, though the doctor went every day from us to her.She dragged around, cooking our tray meals, keeping up the fires, ete.though she should have been in bed as much as we.She delayed her marriage an entire year because of my ill health, and went off last April worrying lest | I should have trouble without her.And now here is her friend doing splendidly.for me, and with no antagonism to be fou , Which is why I think it 18 good policy in every way, if you bave any sort of material to work upon, to establish confidence between your maid and yourself \u2014 Harper's Bazar.\u2019 + \u2014_ TIGHT CLOTHES AND COLDS.Some of the most eminent physicians declare with emphasis that tight gloves.shoes, and clothing have a tendency to cause culds and a great deal of suffering during the winter, no matter how warmly a person may be clad.One of them says: \u2018Tight shoes on any one\u2019s feet will arrest the circulation, and while of course, the foot might not freeze.it bas no chance to get warm, and thus invites the cold, with a good possibility of pneumonia stepping in to charge up more trouble to the tight shoes.he same thing is true though in a lesser degree, of tight gloves on the hands, and a tight collar is ant to cause a cold in the head by interfering with the veins in the discharge of their duties, Shoes and gloves that fit snugly ought to be worn in the winter, but those that are tight are absolutely dangerous, extremely so, because the general public knows so little about it.\u2019 DAILY TABLE

Ottawa, 4.Victoria, 1.This score jut about fairly represents the play at tne champiooship game at tie Arena on >al- wrday night between the Ottawa team and the Victorias of Montreal.| While there was nothing to comptain of in the article of hockey handed out, the tumnpieesant and unsatisfactory features vers à numerous., In this particular case austactory reason has yet been adduced : for the long and tedious delay in commencing the game.That the visitors are wholly responsible for the delay from 8.3v, | the schedule hour for starting, until 9.30, | cannot be dispated.Stostes are told by | way of explanation about their baggage | short range sent the puck straight for Ottawa's net.Hutton, always ready, caught the puck between his knees, and succeeded in clearing his goal.In the scrimmage, Patrick came in contact with the goal post, and injured his shoulder, and Patrick was taken away for repairs.His injuries, however, were not serious, and he was able to appear again, but the delay caused was serious, as when the players gp- turned to th ice, it was 1L45, with 15 minu- utes yet to play.The pack had scarcely teen set in motion when Bowie went down for a body check, and was carried to the dressing room.This was the climax.The players did not return to the ice, and the gong was sounded.It is hard to imagine a more unsatisfactory conclusion, and many were the expressions of disapproval.It is now up to the management of the Hockey Association to guard against a repetition of Saturday night's fizzle.TO PLAY OFF IN OTTAWA.A meeting of the executive of the da H.L.was held

Duke Alexis presided, has been held in connection with Russo-Japanese affairs.A despatch received here from Tientsin says Russia 15 purchasing large quan: tities of Kaiping coal for immediate de livery at Port Arthur, where the stocks of coal are believed \u20180 pe running low.The correspondent of the \u2018Daily Mail\u2019 at Cheefoo cables he has learned that the Japanese naval reserve was mobiliz ed last week, and that the first army reserve was partly mobilized with great tinations disguised as coolies.Over a bundred transports have been requisitioned, the correspondent continues, and twenty-eignt transports and thirty-eight warships are lying at Saseho.Forty transports filled with the l£umanato dis vision are lying in Takeshiki harbor, in Tu Shima, ready for invasion.The destination of these latter veseels is believed to be Chungyu, whence the isolation of Corea could be easily effected.A despatch from St.Petersburg, dated Jan.29, says that in the event of war, (it 1s understood that ijeneral Kuropat- kin, Minister of War, will command all the land forces.Merchandise tratfic on the Siberian Railway will be provisionally suspended on Feb.2, in order to leave the line free for the transportation of troops and military stores to the Far East.RUSSIAN PRESS.St.Petersburg, Jan.31.\u2014The Russian newspapers have again adopted a warlike tone, especially in regard to Manchuria.The \u2018Novoe Vremya\u2019 to-day declares that Manchuria is indispensable to Russia for the effective defence of her frontiers facing Corea and China.Manchuria, it adds, contributes the finale of Russia's advance eastward.Nome but sunpletons imagine that she will abandon it voluntanly.HEARD IN PARIS.Parts, Jan.31.\u2014Another delay has occurred in framing and forwarding the Russian answer to the latest Japanese note, and this will result in further delaying the crisis until the middle or the latter part of this week.Official advices from St.Petersburg to-day gave definite details of the status of the note, aud the programme it was \u2018intended to follow.Count Lamasdorff, the Russian foreign minister, had expected that the ex- ! changes going on wouid have permitted | the tinal drafting of the answer so that it could have been presented to the (Czar | yesterday for his approval: these ex- i pectations were not realized, and as a | matler of faet the answer has not yet | been finally drafted.It was therefore ; determined to defer its submission to the Czar until next Tuesday or Wednes- | day Efforts are still being made to so shape this answer as to prevent a rup- \u201cture.This new delay is interpreted us slightly mmproving the situation, as it indicates that Russia is making extreme efforts to bring the answer within limits acceptable to Japan.Owing to the fact that the Russian answer is not completed, it is pointed out that the reports concarning its general terms must be taken with allowance, as the delay indicates thit some of the points which presented the most serious difficulties may vet be reconciled.Throughout the past week the authorities here have been kept fully advised of the general tendencies of Russia, but they have not known whether or | mot these tendencies would be incorpor- , ated in the answer by which Russia would irrevocably abide.It is understood: that the Empress of ; Russia, besides being in a delicate con- i dition, has an affection of the ear which may necessitate an operation.This fact i 1s considered as having rome bearing up- lon the time when the answer will be submitted to the Czar for approval.In any event officials here are confident- that definite results will be known next Thursday.Owing to the feelinz \u2018hat a final effort towards reconciliation was being made, the tone of official sentiment on the matter was somewhat improved today.secrecy, the troops arriving at their des THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS EMBRO CHURCH BURNED.Embro, Ont, Feb.1.\u2014The Congregational Church in this place was destroyed by fire at an early hour yesterday.Owing to the lack of water and the beadway made by the lire before being discovered, it was impossible to save the building or contents.The crows which quickly gathered at the gound o the fire bell, turned their attention to saving the public school, in which they succeeded.The church, a few months , gave leave of absence to its pastor, he Bev.W.T.Guon, B.A, to go among the churches of the denomination to raise the $200,000 of the jubilee fund planned for at the Union in June last.So successful has Mr.Guna been that

UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES REFUSES SECOND PAYMENT TO SENATORS.Washington, Feb.1.\u2014The House of Representatives on Saturday voted unanimously so strike from the urgent deficiency bili the provisions for tbe second payment of the mileage to the senators and representatives of this Congress, and then passed the urgent deficiency appropriation bill.This action was the climax to an exciting discussion of the mileage problem, begun yesterday, first on à point of order raised agaiust the provision, and then on 4 motion to strike out.Argument on the point of order that the item was not authorized by law turned on the question whether this was the second session of Congress or merely a contiunation of the session convened on Nov.Y, on the call of the President.Mr.Tawney (Minnesoca), as chairman of the committee of the whole, m a cate- fully prepared opinion, overruled the point.He said ed by the constitutional limitation and that the parliamentary questions as to whether existing law authorized the payment of mileage was the point to be decided by him, and the question as to whether the mileage should be received was for the commuttee to decide.He held the previson for mileage was in order.WHITAKER WRIGHT BURIED.London, Feb.1\u2014The body of Whri- taker Wright was bumed in Witiey parish churchyard on Saturday afternoon, after a brief special service al
