and consideration of the pepe declared the Hon.W.À.Weir, À PP.in the coûrse ofsan address on Education in the Province of Quebec,\u2019 before the Social Science department of the Women\u2019s Club yesterday afternoon.To illustrate the position of English Protestant education the apenker quoted from a report recently printed, that schools are open ten months, the whole school year; 78 are open nine monthe.284 eight months, 57 seven months, 88 six months, 35 five months, 46 four months, 18 three months, 12 two months, and 9 one month, the report giving no information about schools that are

of isting situation.Speaking of the difficulty of obtaining teachers, Mr.War said that the salaries of teachers in the past had not been such as to retain them in the prpfession.He thought, too, that the difficulty of obtaining a teacher's diploma had added to the scarcity of teachers.As regards finance, the speaker thought a wealthy city like Montreal ought to be able supply proper achools for the city.ut the greatest burden of keeping up schools was felt in remoter, country districts.He tho the government grant ought to be given, not in Proportion to the number of children attending school, but concidering the diff- culty of keeping up a schoo! in a definite area, Je Tone à distriet in the Lauren: where the people from the products of their hard Tabor 2 20 mills 3 he dollar, and

would be in favor of making the sacrifice somewhere else than in the elementary schools.li the true state of affairs were impressed on che wealthy people of the province, the speaker thought something would surely be done to help the future of Engligh education, ton a Elin onl m © i e i - ant classes of the province.In conclu sion, the main point Mr.Weir endeavored to impress om his hearers was that they should take an interest in the gub- ject.They were bound, in patriotism, to consider the welfare of the remote settlements as well 8s the city, COLLEGE NOTES \u2014 Invitation cards\\ere ft

more still in the removal of men of wealth, such as Astor, Carnegie, Frick, Strathcona, Mount Stephen, Croker, and others less noted or notorious.It would now seem that Mr.J.P.Morgan is also making his permament home in England.In this contribution of wealth the United States still preserves her character as the most important of Brit ish colonies, all of which have from their beginning continually paid tribute of wealth and enterprise to the Old Country.It is patoral that the older civilization, with ite fixed social conditions and aristocratic institutions, should attract men of great wealth.Language, Literature, hereditary associations combine to make Britain the hope of the British race, to reduce the American Revolution to a mere episode in its history and confirm the trend towards friendship and cordiality among all its members.Every Scotchman in America would, if he could, return, like Mr.Carnegie, to Scotland and become a Highland laird.Mr.Morgan, to whom the world was an oyster which he opened, not with sword but with purse, gathering into\u201d his possession a large part of the art treasures of Europe, naturally finds in one of the ancestral homes of England the most fitting place for their reception and his own retirement.Like the general in \u2018The\u2019 Pirates of Penzance, who had bought a graveyard full of ancestors, Mr.Morgan may occupy Alderham Abbey as his ancestral home amd be happy in the consciousness of having an undisputed title to antiquity paid for in cash.There would seem to be few who would not do the same if they had the means, even though their tastes ran no high n those of Boss Croker.\u2019 A GOOD DAY'S WORK.Tt is to all appearance a right-minded council that the citizens elected yester- dar; not altogether excellent in every individual part, but in the main composed of honest and intelligent men.Mr.Laporte was elected mayor by the splendid total of 17,017, as compared with 4,616 for Mr.U.H.Dandurand and 2.496 for Mr.Cochrane, One ancient me proverb assures us that \u2018absence makes J] the heart grow fonder,\u201d but there is an- | other old saw which says, \u2018Out of sight, out of mind,\u201d and Mr.Cochrane has made { proof of the latter.Of course, it is impos- | sible to imagine just how different the result would have been could Mr.Coch- rane\u2019s vigorous personality have been on the spot, bot that be would have received many more votes than he did in his absence there can be po doubt.With all Mr.Dændurand\u2019s promises, however, and the very active aid of Mr.Lawrence Wilson, which did him more harm than good, he received less than five thousand votes.The highest vote given him was 590 in St.Denis Ward, and his lowest vote he received in West Ward, where it was only 34.Mayor Laporte\u2019s lowest vote was 203 in Centre Ward, where Mr.Dandurand was given onlr 56, and Mr.Cochrane 19 votes.The highest number of votes received by the Mayor was 1,776 in Papineau Ward, as compared with 475 for Mr.Dandurand, and 195 for Mr.Cochrane.It was an exceptionally heavy vote, although early in the day a comparatively light vote was anticipated, about twenty thousand or less, but 24,129 votes were-cast, and in every ward the present Mayor, in recognition no doubt of true public service in the past, received a large majority.\u2018A great cause for congratulation is that the citizens yesterday gave Messrs.Le.beuf, Lesperance, Ouimet, Martineau and Giroux their dmcharge.With the present Mayor and Council cléan government would seem to be assured for another two years; and we may hope to see all departments administered with greater efficiency.There are many important matters to come before the new council, including the gas contract, and the question of cleaner and cheaper water, and there is also the never-to-be- forgotten disgrace of our ill-conditioned highways, which cause Montreal to be described abroad as a lovely lady down at heels.The question of conduits for our ugly and perilous tangle of wires, telephone, telegraph, power and what not, is also a most important one.The new council has therefore plenty of work to look forward to, and, as it has given us reason to expect much, much we certainly shall expect.Not only was a heavy vote polled yesterday, but so far no case of personation has been heard of, so that the elections were exceptionally clean.Altogether, it was a good day\u2019s work.RECTPROCITY.From Boston, Detroit, Buffalo and other cities in the United States reports have been published within the last few days of resolutions adopted by commercial bodies and pronouncements by the press in favor of reciprocity with Canada.It is also asserted that feeling in this direction is as strong on the Canadian as on the United States side of the border, where the vexatious restrictions on business intercourse are most severely felt.There may be some undercurrent of truth in this, for the increase of popalation along a frontier that, in some parts, is only an imagmary line, mot only renders the enforcement of opposing tariffe extremely difficult, but brings home to the people on both sides of the line the absurdities and inconvenience of tariff restrictions on ma- tually advantageous interchange.Undercurrents tell in time, and we heartily hope to see this one in favor of increased intercourse asserting itself again.But it has to be acknowledged that the surface currents for the time being run all the other way, and have done so ever since the unreasonable repulse given to our government when they last went as suitors for this mutual advantage, including the galling refusal to submit the boundary question to impartial settlement.Canadians are not going to take any more risks of similar repulse and, much as they would desire and profit by increased.mutral intercourse, any movement in that direction must come from Washington in tangible shape before they tan give it serious at- tentibn.It cannot be denied, moreover, that our people are largely under the delusion of the balance of trade fallacy so prevalent among their neighbors, and as they now buy a great deal more from the United States than the United States buys from them, they are very ill inclined to any agreement that will not do something to restore the balance, a result which, as far as we have seen expressions of United States sentiment, is very far from what our neighbors are secking.It is also too apparent that the demand for reciprocity at this juncture by our neighbors is the result of fear that the Imperial preference movement in Great Britain may succeed, and may result in closer union between Canada and the Empire.We seldom see reciprocity advocated among them without some hint at the hope that it will weaken the British tie.If the United States wants to annex Canada she must do it by way of Great Britain.The closer the two great peoples get the better.We should like to see the two flags quartered in ome banner and to belong to both and to count both as belonging to Sag Nuys oe THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.Le Toéspar, FEBRUARY 2, 1904, us.Things are, we hope, moving that way.It will not come in our day, but when it comes it will be the best that can happep for the world and for Canada.A CHAMBERLAIN EPISODE PIQUANT STORY TOLD BY A NEW SUPPORTER.(London \u2018Daily Leader.) Mr.H.W.Lucy, who has just been appointed parliamentary correspondent to the leading Chamberlainite organ in London, refers in the \u2018London Magazine\u2019 to an incident in the career of Mr.Chamberlain, which, he says, \u2018had far- reaching consequences, not alone on the destinies of Mr.Gladsione but on the fate of the Liberal party and the current of Imperial events.When,\u2019 he-sys, \u2018in 1882, Mr.Forster resigned office as Chief Secretary for lre- land, Mr.Chamberlain was prepared to succeed him.At that time he, in company with Sir Charles Dilke, was far mm advance of Mr.Gladstone or any other member of the cabinet in the direction of home rule.He was in intimate cor- ;respondencé with the Jrish members, | who were disposed to accept his assist- {ance in freeing Ireland from coercion and administering the affairs of the country more in accordance with national as- pirationg.\u2018One of the most prominent and influential of them told me of an interview Mr.Chamberlain had with him immediately after the news arrived from Phoenix Park.Mr.Chamberlain was anxious to know what measure of support he might expect to receive from the Nationalists if he undertook the office of Chief Secretary.\u2018The Irish member asked whether it had been offered to him by the Pre mier.Mr.Chamberlain made no definite reply, but smiled with assurance accepted as meaning that if he would take it it was his.\u2018A few days later announcement was made that Mr.George Trevelyan was going to the Irish Office.How Mr.Chamberlain heard the news, whether in cordial communication from the Premier, or through what are called the ordinary channels of information, I do not know.But the rebuff ahd the snanner of dealing wt were unforgettable and were not forgiven.\u2018Had his aspirations of the moment been realized, he would have heen committed by ministerial action in Ireland in a direction that would have made it difficult for him to wreck the Home Rule Bill in 1886.Nor would there have been the incentive to pay off old scores.\u2019 THE NEW FLORIN.(\u201c Westminster Gazette.) The new florin pieces which are now coming into circulation have an interesting association for Sir Michael Hicks Beach and his family.The King has already given a sitting to Mr.G.W.de Saulles, the engraver to the Royal Mint, and the obverse of the new coin will bear the imprint of the Kings head, with which we.have grown more or less familiar.The, reverse, however, introduces a marked and useful cha: from the florins.of the Victorian epoch, In place of the emblematic arrangement so dear to the heart of heraldry we have an upright figure of Britannia, which will have the practical effect of reducing the confusion that formerly existed between the two-shilling piece and the halfcrown.It is the re of Britannia on the reverse of the com that posseses mterest for the Beach family.The lady who stood for the model of the figure was, says the \u2018Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard,\u2019 no other than Miss Susan Hicks-Beach, the daughter of the ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer.The original design for the coinage is worked out on a much larger scale than the size of the actual coin, to which it is afterwards reduced, and this original design of the Britannia figure 13 now a cherished possession of Sir Michael and hie family.IN THE COLD WINTER OF 1861.(From the Lewiston \u2018Journal ) _ The winter of 1861 was noted for be ing one of the coldest, and, in fact, it was the coldest, one in the century.The coldest day of the winter was Fri day, Feb.25, and is known as coid Friday.There bad been a heavy snowstorm of light, fine snow.lt cleared off cold and the wind blew a perfect gale, thus making the cold more fearful.The air was filled with snow so thick one could see only a rod or two in any direction.Men \u2018who were obliged to bz on the road perished and were found frozen as hard as marble statues.A very few travellers survived the ordeal.But few had thermometers in those days to tel bow cold it really wasy but what few there were registered 40 to 30 below zero in Androscoggin, and in Aroostook county it was even lower.Penobscot Bay was frozen over so solid that Sam Randall, of Vinal haven, took a horse and sleigh and, together with the Hon.Martin Kiff, who was the representative to the Legislature for Vinalhaven, œuiged from Vin- alhaven to North Have, then to Sad- die Island, then to Camden and thence across country 10 A ta, where he left Kiff and returned.to Vinalhaven again safely.Portland Harbor and Bos ton Harbor were frozen over solid, Thousands of the Boston people availed themselves of the fact and the ice on the harbor was covered with skaters.Peo who remember the cold Friday emile when they hear people telbng how cold it is when we have a little zero weather, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 OFFENSIVE ADVERTISING.(\u2018Outlook.\u2019) The suggestion in the secnod annual message of Governor Murphy, of new Jersey, to the Leila islature of that State, urging a concer effort to remove the advertising signs placed along the lines of railway t rough the State, is one which ought to ve the support of every citizen who cares for the dignity and beauty of the landscape.The (ov.ernor has caused an enumeration to be made, and finds that no less than sixteen hundred signboards of all ki kinds, | (disfigured by all sorts of effigies of impossible men aid women., \u2019 and advertising \u2018remedies for all the! ills that buman flesh is heir to, .s well as all sorts of foods and drinks,\u2019 greet the passengers on the railway trains as they pass through different sections o ew Jersey.The scores of thousands of men and women who live in the | New Jersey towns and cities near New York are compelled, whenever they come to or go from the city, to pass a long procession of monstrosities in the way of advertising signs, and vigorous -condemnation is heard on all sides.These signs are an outrage on| the travelling public, which finds itself forced to read about remedies, articles of food and wearing apparel, instead of securing a clear view of what is, in| many geasons of the year, a bit of landscape of exceptional interest and beauty.The journey from New York to Phila-| delphia is made hideous by a long procession of signs which seem to move with the trains, many of which are vulgar, all of which are offensive; and the day is net distant, which Governor Murphy foresees, when the passenger \u2018will pass through a continuous and unbroken lane of mgnboards that will trouble bis nights and days with suggestions of things that are disagreeable.(Governor Murphy proposes to strike at this abomination by levying a high tax.If the State is to be used for advertising purposes and the public are to, be offended, somebody ought to pay for! the privilege ;and the rate of payment: ought to be made so high that this; kind of advertising will cease to be | profitable for the proprietors of patent medicines, or the inventors of gi-] gantic elephants, monstrous 2ologne | bottles, and other things.Advertising by the use of the billboard has been! greatly abused; and good taste, sound morals.and a proper regard for the education of the people and for their feelings will some day compel a rigid restriction of this form of advertising.Some forms of advertising are offensive, not only in themselves, but because they obtrude upon and destroy privacy\u2014one of the most precious rights of the indi- | vidual, and one of which the American citizen possesses least.It is very much! to be hoped that the Legislature of New Jersey will follow the Governor's initiative and levy a prohibitory tax on billboard advertising along railways.In a Southern city certain advertisements of a patent medicine which are familiar to travellers in all parts of the country, and which are unpardonably vulgar, are torn down as fast as they are put up, out of respect to the women of the place.The \u2018Outlook\u2019 is opposed to mob law in all dorms, but this irregular action is the expression of a righteous indignation.LETTERS FROM READERS.FRENCH STEAMSHIP LINES.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness\u2019\u2019) Sir, \u2014As great prominence lis being given to the promotion of a line of steamcurs between France and Canada by Mr.Carbonneau, of Paris, in conjunction with Messrs.Colombier & Freres, of Bordeaux, 1 take thz liberty of addressing you on this eubject.During the last session of the Dominion Parliament, they, with the assistance of friends in the House of Côm- mons, obtained a ten-year subsidy contract for four steamers to rform eighteen round trips per annum, for which they are to recaive $100,000, or at the rate of $5,555.55 for each Tound trip, which is considerably more than the Dominion Government pays the Allan | sentatives of shipbuilding, Line of steamers for carrying the mails to and from Europe in such steamers as the \u201cT'umstan\u2019 and the \u2018Bavarian.\u2019 The subsidy contract, awarded to Messrs.neau and Colombrer, however, has a clause requiring the new service to provide accommodation for saloon and steerage passengers.This means that the new company will run in direct opposition to the North At lantic and Continental Passenger Conference, and will not be permitted to utihze the Conference ticket agents in Europe or on this continent for the sale of their tickets, consequently, boats will have to be provided with passenger accommodation which they will be unable to fill, and this is one of the conditions of the Canadian Gowernment subsidy contract that precludes the possibility of making such a subsidized line a commercial success.The necessity of having a service be tween Canada and France is for Uana- dian products to obtain the minimum rate of duty urder the French tarif, by avoiding transhipments through a European country.1 wish to point out to your readers, that last year the Finska Lloyd's Navigation Company inaugurated a line of frexght steamers sailing from Havre and La Rochelle Pallice to Montreal, which gave the French importers in Canada à most satisfactory service, smiling on the fifuNnth of each month from France.\u2018The Finska Lloyd\u2019s had seven sailings during the season, (a monthly service) and in sailing from Montreal there was ahvays more freight space offering than there was cargo available for France\u2014yet, vach voyage was so arranged that in every case (a- nadian shipments entered France under the minimum tariff \u2014and that is all the Canadian exporters desired;

elected with the endorsement of the Ontario Alliance are pressing the : fighting for temperance legislation, Mr.| Lucas and Mr, St.John last week spoke earnestly on the subject, and Mr.Crawford, who presided at a prohibition meet- Ing at the West End Y.M.C.a.the previous day.spoke strongly yesterday in protest at the way in which the matter had been delayed.Dr.Barr, who was also the candidate of the Dufferin County Prohibition Alliance, has put a series of questions upon it on the order paper.Mr.William Rickard spoke in an Jronical vein in replying to Mr.Craw- ord.Mr.Thomas Crawford, West Toronto, genservative, said he bad no doubt but that Mr.Ross had broken faith with the temperance people after leading them on with his silver eloquence.This temperance Goliath had led on the prohibition host, and then when the critical moment came his heart becarfe weak and his knees trembled.He was slain at the Yeet of his master.The elections tell the tale of temperance men whose bopes have been disappointed.When the riding of North Oxford became vacant the power of the government was gradu diminishing, and in order to have a Liberal member from that constitueney they decided that the ouly way to do 1t was to gather together on their behalf the temperance forces there.They did this by again promising advanced temperance legislation.Because of this the prohiibtion candidate, Mr.D.R.Ross, withdrew from the contest, but he expresses a doubt of the fortheoming bill being satisfacto to temperance men, and he states that if the government again break their promises -he will most certainly run at the TE pr Bran Mr.T.eston, South t, Liberal, had been the only speaker on the government side who had had the cour age to defend their management of the different departments.According to the \u2018Globe\u2019 newspaper the educational system is open for improvement.Mr.Crawford considered that the agricultural policy of the government could be broadened to a large extent.He point ed out that the Canadian beef sent to the British market was of very poor quality, and even now was only considered \u2018second class,\u2019 while the beef sent from the United States is far superiog to our beef, and fetches a better price.e agreed with Mr.W.Linton, Aurora, that the only way to better conditions was by importing a higher class.of animals sor the farmers for the improvement of the stock of the provinee.Also, täat the government ld spend as much money in developing trade with the Argentine Republic as it is laying out at thé coming St.Louis Exhibition, and, if possible, ten times more, Mr.W.Richard, West Durham, Liberal, said that the Conservatives are hard pressed for some good cause to criticise the government.They would do better by outlining their policy if they have one.If they have a foundation plank of a policy \u2018it is time for a change.\u2019 Even at one time the \u2018Humber Piggery\u2019 and \u2018direct taxation\u2019 scarecrows were called in requisition as a reason for a change.Direct taxation has, like some other things, utterly failed, and will not be seen in this province this century.The Conservatives had taken up their time throwing charges of corruption across the House.He did not .think the North Renfrew vacaney question was One of the-first consideration.In regard to criticism of the Grand Trunk Railway, he agreed with the statement of Mr.Hays, that the difficulty was caused by the great increase of trade, which was more than they could compete with.He declared himself in favor of a two-cent railway fare, Mr.Crawford, in speaking of the prohibition question, had dealt with the question in a masterly way, and had made his case good, but he would like to know where he stood on this question, for in his speech he-han- dled the matter in a kid-gloved manner.«He read the recent \u2018Globe\u2019 editorial which accused Mr.Gamey of using indecent lan e in speaking of the judges when in North ord.Mr.Gamey interrupted and said: \u2018Let me say, for the benefit of the House, that the \u2018Globe\u2019 is absolutely untrue in its statement.I used no blackguardly language in that campaign.\u2019 Mr.Rickard said that in Ontario party feeling was too strong, and that he was willing to the hatchet.He moved the adjournment of the debate.SPECIAL NOTICE.~ It's Remnant Month.\u2014A

COMMITTEE.The question of the organization of the civic committees was the gone uppermost lu most minds at the City Hall to- ay.By the elevation of Ald.Laporte to tbe mayoralty a vacancy occurs in the chairmanship of the Finance Comntittee, which carries with it the leadership of the council.The remaining Freneh- Speaking members of the committee are Aldermeu Louis Payette, L.A.Lapointe and C.Robillard.lt appears to be the unanimous wish that \u2018Ald.Payette should have the chairmanship, and there 15 little doubt he can have it if he wants it.but he does not covet the position.In the event of Ald.Payette receiving the chairmanship, Ald.De Serres, who succeeds Ald.Laporte in the representation of Centre Ward, or Ald.Lariviere will \u2018receive the vacant position in the mem- dership of the Finance Committee.Ald.Lariviere\u2019s name is, however, unentioned most prominently in connection with the chairmanship of the Police Committee, made vacant by the defeat of ex-Ald.Giroux, or that of the new committee which is to have charge \u2018of the city workshops and public build- #ngs.Ald.Ames\u2019s name is also mentioned in «connection with the chairmanship of the Police Committee, in which case Ald.Degenais would succeed Ald.Ames as chairman of the Committee of Hygiene wnd Statistics.Le Ald.Sauvageaus name à megtioned \u201c 7 for the vacancy on the Finance Commit tee, snd also for the chairmenship of the new committee on workshops.- Ald.VelEeres will as a matter oF course, retain the c airmanship ip o Roads Committee, where he done such good work, and this will hecessitate the retirement of Ald.Hebert from that committee, as it is not customary to allow twq members from _one ward to sit on the important committees.It is understood that Mr.Duquette, who re placed ex-Ald.Martineau in St.Denis Ward, will replace Ald.Hebert.If Ald.Lariviere leaves the Road Committees for a chairmanship he will be replaced by Mr.Bastien or Mr.Marchand.There is no talk at present of displee- ing any of the chairmen returned again to council.THE WOMAN\u2019S VOTE WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION ACTIVE AS A BODY AND WOMAN'S COUNCIL AS INDIVIDUALS.Women have been more active in canvassing for votes and presumably in voting than ever before.The women were in som ses as determinedly divided into opposite camps as were the men.How largely they voted the public will perhaps be informed when the | reports of the deputy returning officers are published.So far as enquiry has gone there vote was still, in proportion to their numbers, slim.Two weeks ago the Woman\u2019s Council called a meeting of women interested in voting, which was addressed by Mr.W.D.\u2018Lighthali, and at the close it was decided to send a circular to all the women voters of the city, urging them to cast their ballots without fail for some one.Une reason given for this was that some of the aldermen were advocating the withdrawal of the vote from widows and spinsters paying rent, one of the reasons given being that the women Council explained that as a Council they could do no more than this, as, according to their constitution they may not carry on any special propaganda.Individually, however, they | were most adtive.Volunteers addrese- ed circulars and made an active canvass for Ald.Laporte, Ald.Ekers, Ald.Gallery and Ald.Dagenais.Their canvass was very determined against Aldermen Martineau and Ouimet, who are on record as actively oppoking the woman's vote, and are taking pride in having helped to oust both from the Council.Asked as to their reasons for working for the others, one is told this list of \u2018good government men\u2019 was given to them by a wellknown Christian gentleman, whose name, however, they were not permitted to divulge.The Woman's Christian Temperance Union, which represents the oldest and the largest undenominational body of women in the country, worked strongly against Ald.Laporte and Ald.Ekers.because each was actively engaged in the liquor traffic, which the Union was organized to oppose, and they express themselves as convinced that if Mr.Harvey, the temperance candidate in St.Lawrence Ward, had been\u201d out earlier and the splendid workers they had had been in the field a.few weeks sooner, Mr.Harvey would have had an easy victory.Mr.Cochrane they supported, because he was himself a total abstainer, and ref even to rent a house to any one who would use it for the sale of liquor.It was not, they said, in the best interests of the little children, the future voters of fhe city, at a brewer should have a seat on the school board, and that in view of the terrible increase of secret drinking among women they could not vote for a man, however good he might be otherwise, who was engaged in the ligdor business, and that for this reason every argument that applied to Ald.Ekers applied to Ald.Laporte tools the Woman\u2019s Christian Temperance Union had been the first body to ask for a vote for widows and spinsters on a rental basis, they also would naturally oppose Ald.Martineau and Ald.Ouimet, the advocates of disfranchisement.QUALIFIED VOTERS.The number of qualified voters in the various wards of the city is as follows :\u2014 East Ward.+2 +.\u2026.690 Centre.+.00 he ve 50 oe oo S98 West.+4 .1,105 St,

AT AN EARLY HOUR THIS MORNING., At 1240 this morning fire broke out in the top story of the Fabre building, corner of Craig and_ St.Lawrence streets.The firemen were soon on the spot and it\u2019 was found necessary to send in à second alarm.With a dozen streams, it took about two hours to put the fire out.Even then there were smouldering embers and during this forenoon it was nec to gall the firemen out for a fresh outburst.It was promptly checked with a baboock without domg much additional damage.The tenants of the building are H.B: Fuerst, Roy, Roy'and Senecal, D.Phaneuf, A.Dupermault,

the loss will probably amount to $15,000.The total loss is estimated at $30,000, and is only partially covered by insur- a nee.The street car service on Craig and.St.Lawrence streets was interfered with for some time, but it was at a time when traffic was not very urgent.Many wires were cut and the linemen were very busy to-day making repairs.The weather, ag is asval when big fires | occur

opened this morning on the ice at the Montreal, Caledonia, and Thistle rinks, and is attracting a good deal of attention.The players this morning, besides their zest for the game and their desme for victory for their own colors, had the inspiration of the intes- est in the contest shown by many spectators present.Among the lookers-on were veteran players on th: men\u2019s rinks, who commented, for the most part favorably, on the work of the lady players; and there were many ladies looking om, soma with an understanding of the ame, and some who knew nothing about it, but wore the red and black, pale and dark blue, etc., to show \u2018their side, and admired the cunning little stones decorated with bows of ribbon, in the colors of the rink.The ladies played with strict attention to the game, and a willingness to observe the directions of the skipe, rather than, aa has been not iced at times before now where men bave been playing, a preference for following their own judgment.A particularly good shot clicited a cheer, and the clever thrower was p2rhaps embraced enthusiastically by her captain.Watching the game at the Caledonia Rink for a short time weré Mr.Forbes Robertson and Miss Gertrude EHiott.At the Caledonia rink the very good play of the St.Lawrence, a comparative- y young club, was remarked.\u2018They had for their opponents a strong team from the Montrzal

PROCEEDINGS.(Canadian Associated Press.) London, Feb.2.\u2014A parliamentary paper was issued to-day respecting the Alaskan boundary award.The Hon.Clifford Sifton, in writing Lord Lahs- downe on Oct.22, said Canada was much indebted to Sir Robert Finlay for his opening argument, which in dignity, clearnegs and mastery in des tall, was in every respect worthy of the important character of the issues involved.Messrs.Carson and Robinson fully sustained their high professional reputations.in their presentation of the case of His Majesty's Government, which was all that could be de sired.The government enjoyed [the advantage of the assistance of the Hon.Edward Blake in preparing the case.Mr.Blake\u2019s withdrawal, owing to ili- health, was a source of great regret.Mr.Sifton also expressed appreciation of the efficient manner in which Messrs.Wade, Duff, Geoffrion, Rowlatt and Simon discharged their duties.Upon Messrs.Wade and Rowlatt fell the heaviest portion of the lahor ai- tending the preparation.The Minister of the Interior says he cannot speak too highly of the ability and jifgment exhibited by both these gentlemen.They had the advantage of the scieuti- fic knowledge of Mr.King.the chief astronomer of Canada.Mr.J H Pope's services were also of great value.Lord Lansdowne, replying on Oct.30, ! said: \u2018I have the King\u2019s commands to signify to vou and those who worked with you His Majesty's approval of the zeal and ability with which you advocated the interests of the Empire in a question of at importance to this country and Canada, I offer to you the best acknowledgment of His Majesty\u2019s Government for the manmer in which Sir Christopher Robinson and the Hon.Edward Blake and others, of the Canadian Bar and public service have taken part in the.proceedings and have argued the British case before the tribunal.In July, 1809, Lord Salisbury wrote the American Ambassador suggesting that the terms of the Anglo-Venezue- lan arbitration be applied to the Alaska question.The United States thought the terms inapplicable to the controversy.Lord Onslow.replying on Oct.26 regarding Canada\u2019s objection to the Am-: erican commissioners, said His Majesty\u2019s ministers were as much sur- priced as the Canadian ministers at the selection of the American members of | that His Majesty's Gov- the tribunal: ernment were convinced that it was useless to press the United States to withdraw the names: that there was virtually nothing to choose between breaking the negotiations altogether.which would be a grave misfortune to the interests of Canada, or accepting the American nominations and appointing as their colleagues representatives appropriate to the altered circumstances of the case.THE CIGARETTE EVIL UNHEALTHIEST NATIONS ARE THOSE ADDICTED TO THE EVIL.(Canadian Associated Press.)

The next day the same thing.He longed for Mr.EÉden\u2019s hour to come; it came, but not with it came his one bit of sunshine, Lis amusement, his consolation, And so one heavy day eucceeded another, and Robinsog became fretful, and very, very sad.One day as he sat disconsolate and foreboding in his cell, he heard a stranger's voice talking to Fry outside; and what was more strange, Fry appeared to be inviting this person to inspect tbe cells, The next moment hg door was opened, and a figuref peeped timidly into the cell from behind bry, whose arm she clutched in some anxiety.Robinson looked up; it was Susan Merton.She did not instantly know him in his prison dress and his curly hair cut short; he hung his bead, and this action and the recognition 1t implied made her recognize him.\u2018Oh!\u2019 cried she, \u2018it is Mr.Robinson\u2019 The thief turned his face to the wall.Even he was ashamed before one who had known him as Mr.Robinson; but the next moment he got up and said earnestly: \u2018Pray, Miss Merton, do me a favor\u2014 you had always a kind heart, Ask that man what has become of Mr.Eden\u2014he will answer you.\u2019 \u2018Mr.Robinson,\u201d cried Susan, \u2018I have po need to ask Mr.Fry .I am staying at Mr.Eden's house.He is very ill, Mr.Robinson.\u2019 \u2018Ah! ] feared as much; he never would have deserted me else.What is the trouble?\u2018You may well say trouble! it is the prison that has fretted him to death, cried Susan, half bitterly, half sorrow- tally., \u2018But he will get well! it is not serious?inquired Robinson, anxiously.Fry pricked up his ears.\u2018He 1s very ill.Mr.Robinson,\u201d and Sa- san sighed heavily.\u2014\u2014 \u2018I'll pray for him.He has taught me to pray\u2014all the poor fellows will pray for him, that know how.Miss Merton, Easily Prepared 9 All the Stre of Prime Ox Beef is found in BOVRIL, in the most highly concentrated, palatable and convenient form.DELICIOUS\u2014NUTRITIOUS ngth Basily Assimilated MERCHANT TAILORS, THE NAME A STAMP OF QUALITY, EVERY MAN HAS A STYLE WHIM TO SATISFY.Hecklinger and Kelly have the knack of successfully satisfying the most discriminating dresser\u2019s smallest style whim HECKLINGER & KELLY, Birks\u2019 Bulldging 16 Phillips Square, DEMONSTRATION ON VELOX PAPER.MONTREAL PHOTO SUPPLY, 148 Peel Street, TUESDAY, from 7 to 9 pm.Bring a Negative and have Prints made.eens.for Mr.Eden this minute if I could save his life by it) Susan thought of this speech afterwards.Now she but said, \u2018I will tel him what you say.\u2019 \u2018And won't you bring me onz word back from his dear mouth?\u2018Yes! 1 will!

last night.Considering the overwhelming character of the majorities in the mayoral and the chief alder- manic contests, the suspense as to the results which prevailed between the closing of the polls and the announcement of the results was simply wonderful.Even expert electioneers would not venture a prediction as to the vote on the mayoralty; but it was pretty generally acknowledged that Ald.Gallery would snow his opponent under in St.Ann's Ward.As to \u2018the mayoralty, Mr.Lawrence Wilson and the rest of the corps of touters who had been surrounding Mr.Dandurand during the campaign had heen making such astounding claims as | to having the support of the labor un-: ions, that it was feared that Mr.Dan-! durand might run Mr.Laporie very close or even defeat him.Strong Laporte men, and even Mr.Laporte himself, hesitated to make nuy predictions as to the \u201cresult.; Ex-Mayor Cochrane's candidature was | felt to be a negligible quantity except : lin the case of à clese vote between Ald.| T;ayorte and Mr.Dandurand.At the! i last election Mr.Cochrane had been in a \u2018considerable minority \u2018n every English | .speaking ward in the city.he owing his | election to the French vote.Upon the present occasion, with the Englisn vote practically solid for Mr.Laporte, and with two French-Canadian candi- ! | dates against him appealing for the votes | of the French wards, it was apparent to all but Mr.Cochrane himself that his! chances for re-election were nil.Letters | received from the ex-Mayor up to tne | eve of the election showed that he felt very confident of re-election and also counted upon the defeat of Ald.Ekers and Ald.Gallery.f ALD.LARIVIERE, Seat No.1, St Mary's Ward, ALD.PAYETTE, Seat No.1, St.Louis Ward, eR i hg TT EN OEP The actual vote for the mayoralty was as follows: \u2014 Mr.Hormisdas Laporte.17,017 Mr.U.H.Pandurand.\u2026 4,616 Mr.James Cochrane.\u2026.\u2026 2496 Plurality for Mr.Laporte over Mr.Dandurand.12401 Plurality for Mr.Laporte over Mr.Cochrane.14,251 Majority for Mr.Laporte over both candidates.\u2019 .9,905 As the charter provides that any candidate who does not obtain one-half the number of votes cast for the successful candidate, forfeits his deposit of Awb hundred dollars, both Messrs.Cochrane and Dandurand lose their deposits, the first time candidates for the mayoralty have had that misfortune.Among the aldermanic candidates, Ald.Lebeuf, in Centre Ward; Mr.Ward, in West Ward; Mr.Jones, in St.Ann's Ward, and Mr.Beaulieu, in St.Mary's | Ward, also have the/privilege of forfeiting two hundred dollars cach to the city towards the election expenses.Five members of the old council were defeated\u2014ex-Alderman Ouimet, in St.Jean Baptiste; ex-Ald.Martineau, in St.Denis; Ex-Ald.Lebeuf, in Centre; Ex- Ald.Giroux, in St.James, and Ex-Ald.Lesperance, in St.Mary's.Ald.Ricard \u2018appears to be clected by a majority, of one, but a recount may cause him to lose his seat.RECEIVING THE RETURNS.The returns of the elections were received as usual at the City Hall, the city clerk, under the charter acting as 1k- turning officer for all municipal electidas.Arrangements had been made for the ballot boxes and returns to be brought into the Long Ronm by the deputy returning officers and every precaution had been taken to provide against any possible miscarriage.À strong.force of police was statiomed in the corridors to preserve a clear passage for the poll officers and their burdens.About half- past five Mr.\u2019 Bauset, the asistant city clerk, the real organizer of the election, took his seat-on a chair mounted on the counter of the receiving accountants\u2019 cage.Mr.Jules Crepeau, his assistant, took a seat near Mr.Beauset, some of the juniors in their office stood by ready to pass the ballot boxes back behind the counter.Besides the police, a number of, City \u201c ALD.MARCHAND, Seat No.2, St.Mary's Ward.LD.LEMAY, Seat No.2, St.Louis Ward, ~ Hall officials and some twemty-five or thirty newspaper men representing all the city papers, there were very few people present; but soon after the officials had taken their places the first | three deputy returning officers arrived with their boxes and.their returns.Mr.Crepeau took returns and boxes together, handing the latter back to the wait- Ing attendants, opening the envelopes | and handing the returns to Mr.Beau- | set, who read out the figures, as distinct- | ly as they possibly could be read, in both | English and French.These polls were | two from the Centre and one from East | ward and in every case they gave Mr.| Laporte a majority of four to one over Mr.Dandurand.\"Mr.Cochrane had a bare half-dozen votes in the three polls.| After the reception of these three polls n brief interval elapsed and a general | discussion of the results ensued.The genral opinion wae that these polls in | a central and an east ward indicated the way the election was going.\u2018Laporte is elected.\u201d passed from one to the other.and the next few polls which came in put the question bevond doubt.A couple of polls from St.Louis Ward, three from St.Ann's, two from West, one | from Lafontaine and one from St.George, all told the same story.\u2018\u201cLa- porte, 50: Dandurand.13; Cochrane, 5, was about the way they all ran.A few returns came in from far east wards like Hochelaga, far north ones.like St.Denis, and far west ones like St, Gabriel, and they all told the same story.In half an hour from {he time the first retarns were received it was evident that Mr.Laporte had snowed both of his opponents under, and workers present wondered how it was that the publie, up to the very last, had been so uncert2in as to the result.Meantime crowds of interested people gathered in the corndors and in the Long Room, outside of :he counter, and the returning officers began to flock in from al parts of the city.A few re turns from all of the wards having satisfied the public curiosity as to the mayoralty, Mr.Beauset( with the instincts of an old newspaper man, cet to work to satisfy local curiosity as to the aldermanic contests.; The Centre Ward returns were sorted out and read, the aunouncement of Mr.St.Denis\u2019s victory being greeted with a hearty cheer.\u201d Then a bunch of returns from St.Anns, enough to demonstrate the thorough character of Ald.Gallery\u2019s smashmg victory, then returns from all but two polls in West ard, enough to but Ald.Nelson's election beyond doubt.Next eight or ten votes from St.Gabriel, then a sample dozen from St, Joseph\u2019s, and so on The Mayoralty returns from the wards In which there were no aldermanic candidates were left until the last.As the work of receiving and readng the returns progressed the crowds and the interest increased.Considerable enthus lasm developed.Ald.Nelson was the first of the winning candidates to put In an appearance, and was greeted with a hearty cheer and much hand-shaking.About nine o'clock a great outburst of cheering announced the arrival of the Mayor-elect, who was escorted by a number of his workers\u2014several of them carrying brooms in token of their cahdidate\u2019s sweeping victory.There were loud and sustained demands for a speech, but Mr.Laporte, after bowing bis acknowledgements, retired.to permit of the few remaining returns to be | received and read.Then Mr.Bauset | helped him up to the counter, and he; made a speech of thanks, in both | French and English.| All classes, all creeds, he said.in all| quarters of the city, had, by the splen- ; did victory, amply repaid him for what | he had done for Montreal.The ery | had been raised against him that he | was the enemy of the workingman, but! he was glad the people themselves had given it, by their votes, an emphatic denial.This, he said.was the greatest satisfaction to him, but, of course, he adversaries, as now the excitement was over, all were citizens of Montreal, and all were interested in seeing the new Council working out harmoniously what it bad to do.Mayor Laporte said he had explainéd | his programme at his public mestings.| and as 1t had been endorsed by the people, and as none of the aldermen had opposed 1t in their wards, he would do his part to get it approved by the Council.Ald.Ekers, who had his own this year, being called upon, said he was glad to add a word of thanks to those citizens who elected Mr.Laporte to the Mayoralty.It would mean two years more of sound government for the city.It would also be a lesson to the temperance people not to employ the tactics they had used against him in the campaign just concluded.These cranks and fanatics had used the most despicable means to discredit and defeat him.They were determined, ®y fair weans or foul.to get him out of the Council, but had not succeeded.The result was just what they deserved.In the Finance Committee the former chairman had al ways consulted him on important matters and had always done what he considered best for the welfare of the city.He was glad he was elected.Ald.Ekers was followed by Ald.Pay- ette, who said it was a great safeguard i to have a man like Mayor Laporte at the head of the city.Ald.L.A.Lapointe.Ald.Lavallee.and Ald.all made short speeches.Amongst the numerous messages of congratulation received by Mayor-elect Laporte last night was one from ex- Mayor Fred.Cook, of Ottawa, president of the Union of Canadian Municipalities.After the result was beyond the question of doubt, Mr.Dandurand, in his own office, remarked: \u2018The labor men need never look for another candidate to endorse their programme, This has been a battle between capital and labor, and as usual capital had won.I had to fight the newspapers, aldermen and commercial men during the campaign, and it was impossible to defeat them all.I am satisfied that I fought a clean fight during the campaign.\u2019 ST.LAWRENCE WARD.At the close of the poll, Mr.A.E.Harvev and his friends gathered at their
