370 St.Antoine street, Montreal, who recently completed a three years\u2019 course of training in the Royal Victoria Hospital, has been ap- inted head nurse of the Women's ond Children\u2019s Medical Department of that on a near hill, and, when reinforced Ly three more companies, attacked the village.Then came three more companies of Japanese cavalry, one of which was badly cut up by the cross fi f the Rusæans, before reaching the viliage.When further Japanese reinforcements hove 1n sight the Russians retired, which was only common sense on their part.Though both forces did very bravely, and both suffered loss, there is no evidence that either gained anything by this fight.The only Japanese account so far of this skirmish has evidently been carried a good way on the wings of rumor.There are a pumber of other rumors in today\u2019s news, none of which can clam much credence.The \u2018Gazette\u2019 is offended because we said that the \u2018Times\u2019 correspondents in the field were not to be held responsible for the garrulities of what is called the London \u2018Times\u2019 service, and proceeds to show that the items of news and rumor contained in those despatches are really the work of \u2018Times\u2019 correspondents.This we never questioned; but there is a lot of stuff under the same head which might be written with equal intelligence and grasp in any rural newspaper office.Things with which our school children have been familiar for weeks are cabled with pomp a8 the fruit of expert study and as the prognostics of exceptional fore sight.Newspapers have to print just now a deal of such stuff, and every cable service has a surfeit of it.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A SUBSIDY NOT REQUIRED.Not satisfied with the government guarantee of its bonds, up to seventy-five percent of cost on the western section of the Grand Trunk Pacific, the company, through Mr.Wainwright, is asking the Ontario Legislature to subsidize a branch from the main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific to Port Arthur, and a branch line from some othertpoint in Ontario to North Bay.The branch line to Port Arthur will have a length, it is expected, cI from 210 to 220 miles, and tbat to North Bay will be from 250 to 275 miles long, giving a mean estimated length for the two branches of 478 miles.For this 478 miles, the Grand Trunk Pacific proposes that the sidy of $2,000 a mile and 6,000 acres a mile, or a total of $956,000 in cash.and 9,868,000 acres of land.Considering the lavishness of governmegts and even of standing enactments toward railway projects the company cannot be blamed institution.Miss Day is a former King- stonian- for asking.Since 1883 and up to June 30, 1902, $52,831,830 had been paid the enemy, unexpectedly found a village\u2019 Province of

does aot include prowincial cash subsidies, on subsidies in land.Not only did the Canadian Pacific get $25,000,000 subsidy for its main line, at \u2018ote fefl swoop,\u201d but it was also granted 25,000,000 scres of land, worth maby times tbat figure in Gollars, and since then 1t has been sub- gidiszd.in meney amd land on Various branches.Up to June 30, 1902, the Canadian Pacific had zold land in the North-West to the value of $29,670,860, and has plenty of it left.The Canadien Northern is anotber lucky- line, having obtained, besids a money subeidy, a land subsidy of 9,280,000 acres.But last year quite as striking an example was given of the prodigality with which governments lavish the public estate upon rail way contractors and promoters, for in à single seasion subsidies amounting to more than thirteen million dollars in cash were voted, which are expected to grow to twenty miuion dollars before everybody concerned ie satisfied.Some of the last subsidies were for mere spurs a mile long, and for hits of railway lines in cities, that could pot help but pay from the first.It is time this licentious alienation of the public estate, real and movable, came to an end.There is no reason why governments should not hold liens on the properties they.subsidize.Taking the facts of the past into consideration, it will be seen that a government guarantee on a bond issue up to seventy-five percent of cost, payable in fifty years, is, at least, a much better bargain than any government has made with a railway since the system of bonusing was begun.of Ontario bas, for its part, bonused, in cash and land, the Canadian Northern, the Algoma Central, and what not, so that it would be folly for us to blame the Grand Trunk Pacific for making the demands it is doing.It is time, however, that this thing stopped.Mr.Ross and his colleagues have a chance to break with the bad system and éstab- lish a better precedent.They should remember - that without a branch to Port' Arthur the Grand Trunk Paci fic would be impossible, and that one to North Bay it must bave in the interest of its present lines.Wherefore, then, need Mr.Ross throw the province's lands and money away, to assist an enterprise that does not need any assistance, and that is inevitable without it ?As the Grand Trunk Pacific has made application for a subsidy from Ontario; we may expect that it will also apply for subeidies from Manitoba, British Columbia and Quebec on similar pretexts.A FREE COUNTRY.Mr.Ray Stacnard Baker, who examined the industrial conditions in New York and Chicago last year, and whose revelations created much interest, bas been visiting San Francisco and in \u2018Me Clure\u2019s Magazine\u2019 gives the result of his investigations in the \u2018Golden west.\u201d He finds a city where, as ome coutractor told him, the \u2018unions own the town; and where, as another informed him, \u2018the employers are flat on their backs\u2019 The causes which led up to this state of affairs are many, but it may be im mediately traced to the great strike of 1901.The demand of the unions at that time was the entire control of the labor market, and from this they have never swerved.\u2018The struggle tied up all the sea commerce and much of the other business of the city for months.Non-union teamsters were hauled from their waggons and their arme broken with iron bars eo that they could not drive again; \u2018scabs\u2019 were shot and beaten, battles fought between strikers and deputies, and violence, bloodshed and loss of enormous sums of money were the order of the day, until some sort of an agreement was effected.Vietory pominally inclined to \u2018he employers, but the umons bad learned their power, at least to injure, and since that time no employer, individual or corporate, has been able to contend with them success fully.Now, if a store employs other than union labor sentinels are placed outside to warn off prospective customers.Mr.Baker saw three separate firms within the space of a block, \u2018quarantined\u2019 in this way.Ome of these, as the result of the boycott, was obliged to close its doors, throwing two hundred and sixty workers permanently out of employment.If a union man is caught entering a boycotted store he is fined anywhere from five to twenty-five dollars.Jt is interesting to record that the \u2018sandwich men\u2019 who are posted outside the offending shops have a union of their own and were obliged to strike before they could obtain what they considered a fair wage\u2014even though their employer was a union.One newspaper on the coast, the Los Angeles \u2018Times,\u2019 has taken its life \u2018in its bands and is fighting the labor monopoly.Union men all over the continent are fined if found purchasing the product of any firme which advertise in its columns and within the last few months the proprietors of the Lydia Pinkham medicines have received over a million letters requesting them to

establish a newspaper to fight the \u201cTimes, guaranteeing it ten thousand gubacribers at the \u2018start.R.J.Techan, a restaurant keep- .er, was boycotted because he hired non- mnjon musicians.He finally sold out and his orchestra was thrown out of.employment.One of its members, when seeking to make his ¢ with the union, was fined ten dollars for rehearsing and a hundred dollars for playing with a non union orchestra, besides twenty-five dollars initiation fee.The Stone Cutters\u2019 Union bas forced the stone-yard employees to discharge all their planer men \u2014expert workmen trained to the handling of machinery\u2014and to fill their places with members of the union.This turned a whole class of labor out of employment, lessened the output and caus- od numerous accidents with machines in the bands of inexperienced men.The planer men were refused admittance into the union because \u2018 they were not expert stone-cutters\u201d The grave-diggers wen à strike lag\u2019 year in the course of which \u2018non-union\u2019 graves, were filled with water and the crematory blown up.There are unions of actors, newspaper writers, gum boys, clevator boys, soda, soap and candle workers, carpet layers, shade bangers, piano movers, pie waggon drivers, fish cleaners, bowling alley employees, and many others.There are two union mergers or cen tral councils.The first, including all the miscellaneous trades, is conducted on Liberal lines and its powers are largely advisory.The other, the Building Trades Council-embracieg sixty-two unions\u2014is an autocracy and its czar ie one P.H.McCarthy.McCarthy is pot a vulgar tyrant like Sam Parks, but he is content with nothing short of an um- limited sway.Because the sheet metal workers would not submit to dietation in the matter of salecting delegates to à convention he personally expelled the entire union of one hundred and forty- seven men.without charges and without a trial.During a strike, the unions built a planing mill.They afterwards effected an agreement with the other mill owners which resulted in lan increase of wages by some tweuly- five percent.The public, as usual, however, had to \u2018pay the piper, as the prices of mill products went up from fifty to a hondred percent.When the men find that they bave made living dearer they make that a plea for still new demands.In the painting trade à committee of the Building Trades\u2019 Council, McCarthy being a member, meets a committee from the Employers\u2019 Association every week and this joint committee absolutely regulates prices and all details of the trade in San Francisco.In 8ne typical instance the journeymen got an inorease of #ix- teen and a balf percent, whereas the employer increased the price of painting by twenty-five percent, and papering by fifty percent.The umions m California are not the champions of the poor against the rich.They are rather combines of capitalists.Their initiation fees are often prohibitive where poor men are concerned.The tile-layers and electr- cians charge as high as fifty dollars.The latter also charge twenty-five dollars examination fee, which the candidate loses if he fails to pass.The wnioms have gone into politics also and the pres ent Mayor of San Francisco, Mr.Eugene E.' Schmitz, who was eleeted by an enormous majority, is a member of the Musicians\u2019 Union.These despotic doings are bringing about their inevitable results.Wages have been forced up in the building trades until the city is threatened with a complete cessation of new construction work.Employers whe are strong enough have been provoked into reprisals, and in some cases are endeavoring to dispense altogether with the services of union men.The limited \u2018upion class\u2019 whieh has been created prospers only at the expense of other workers and of the public at large, and necessarily brings upon iteelf the same il-will from the non-privileged ranks that other privileged combines bave to face.The autoeracy of such men as McCarthy and Parks bas been excused as a \u2018benevolent despotism,\u2019 but its benevolence is not to the public but to a class, and no despotism ever remained \u2018benevolent\u2019 for long.It is to be hoped, for the sake of the member of the umon that he will soon dare to call his soul his own and realize tbat, like other citizens, he is entitled to \u2018life, tiberty and the pursuit of happiness\u2019 apart from the permission of \u2018boss\u2019

modification of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway be made the first order of the day on Tuesday next, and that the same subject be taken up from day to day till it is disposed of.The leader of the Opposition replied that provision should be made for the answering of members\u2019 questions and for the passage of private bills, This debate on the Grand Trunk Pacific resolutions might be short or long, but there was no reason for blocking private bill legislation till its conclusion.Sir Wilfrid had hoped that the de bate on the Grand Trumk resolutions would not take long.Still, he readily agreed to Mr.Borden's estion and amended his motion accordir ly.HOUSE IN SUPPLY.Quite early in the afternoon the House passed into committeq of supply upon the votes for the Public Wor Department.Upon a vote for ublic buildings at Kingston, Sir Frederick Borden explained that bis department has had to abandon their omginal intention of fitting up old Fort Henry for barracks.The necessary aecommoda- tion will, instead, be provided by erecting a new building on government property, near Kingston City Hall.When the Hon.James Sutherland be gan to stagger under the fire of ques tions that poured in upon him from the Opposition side, Mr.Cochrane, of North- umberland complained that members of the present administration are troubled with swollen heads.If they answered questions plainly without lecturing the Opposition their votes would pass more readily.\u201cIf I\u2019 said Mr.Cochrane, \u201cwere à Minister of the Crown,\u2019 (derisive laugb- ter from the government side) \u20181! would

$23,000.Tha site has been purchased at a price of $2,900.Mr.Henderson, of Halton, laid it down that the Public Works\u2019 architect the appropriations given by parliament for the erection of public hnildings here and there.As it is to-day, the architect is the man who dictates the expenditure of the country.The minister defended his chief architect and told the Opposition that he was trying to keep all comtracts within the amounts sanctioned by the House.THE CONSERVATIVE WHIP.Mr.George Taylor, the Conservative whip, protested against the government going on paying rentals in Ottawa when what is needed is a new departmental building.Several sites were suggested from the Conservative side, and the Minister of Public Works made his usual statement that be had the matter under consideration.RE QUEBEC VOTES.After most of the Ontario votes had passed, the Quebec list was teken up.Mr.T.Chase Cregrain criticised the Quebee appropriations.Mr.Monk was not in his place.The Opposition made a dead set against the proposal to put up a 315,000 post-office in Actonvale, which is a community of 1,175 souls, and a postal revenue of $800.The minister replied that the town ie growing, and thet new industries are springing up that give it a Tr population.Dr.Sproule said he knew of half a dozen towns in io with a larger population than this that have no public building, and never thought of even aek- ing for one, Mr.T.Chase Caegrain reminded Mr.Sutherland of his opposition in 1894 to the erection of a public building in Richmond, Quebec, a larger place than Acton- vale, This vote, after some further debate, passed.° THE LONGUEUIL SCHOOL.Mr.Casgrain declared that the price paid for the site for a public building in of Canada should have no right to exceed | Longueuil,

Scalp, Hair - and Hands, < A TT) \u2014\u2014\u2014 T Rocrates called beauty a short-lived tyranny, Plato a privilege of nature, \u2018Theocritns, & delightful prejudice, \u201cTheophrastus a silent cheat, Carneades ia solitary kingdom, Homer a glorious igift of nature, Ovid a favor of the gods.Aristotle affirmed that beauty twas better than all the letters of rec- wommendation in the world, and yet mone of these distinguished suthorities [has left us even a hint of how beauty 1s to be perpetuated, or the ravages of age and disease defled.Time soon \u2018blends the lily and the rose into the pallor of age, disease dots the fair fate with cutaneous disfigurations and erimsons the Roman nose with unsightly flushes, moth, if not rust, corrupts the glory of eyes, teeth, and lips yet beautifal by defacing the complexion, and fills the sensitive soul with agony.i If such be the unhappy condition of one afflicted with slight skin blemishes, what must be the feelings of those in whom torturing humours have for \u2018years run riot, covering the skin with scales and sores and charging the Diood with poisonous elements to be- core a part of the system until death?i It is in the treatment of torturing, disfiguring humours and affections of \u2018the skin, scalp and blood, with loss of hair, that the Cuticura remedies have echieved their greatest success.Original in composition, scientifically compounded, absolutely pure, unchangeable in any climate, always ready, and Bgreeable to the most delicate and sen- itive, they present to young and old most successful curatives of

from Mr.Louie Yrechette asking, on behalf of a large section of the community, that a site in St.Lous square be provided for a monument to (remane, the renowned French-Canadian poet.The request was favorably received, and a report wil be made to council recommending that it be Lranted.Mr.Philippe Hebert, sculptor, was Present, and said the monument, com prising a bronze bust, on a granite pedestal, against which was to be a dying sol «tier, also in bronze, would cost about $4,500.A letter was read from the Hon.J.IT.rte, which stated that the foundations of the houses in the neighborhood of St.douls square were being damaged by water leaking through from the large ourrtain.The letter was laid on the table, as the subject bas been up before, but lack oi iunds has prevented the laying of a cement bottom, which, it is claimed, is needed to stop the leaking.Mr.Pinoteau, superintendent of parks, read his report for last year, which showed that the sum of $29,728 Lid been spent in his department.Mr.Pinoteau concluded his report with s\u201cveral recommendations in the way of j\"i7k improvements for the coming season.When the committee was discussing fie amount of money to be asked from ane annoal loan, Ald.Nelson said something should be done with the mountain Joxout.He did not like the balf com- J ete structure now there, and thought 1h» committee should call upon an ex- Tort landscape architect to prepare new Dians.The committee was of this opinton wn, and a sub-committee was named to 7 pare a report on the question.Lefore adjourning, Ald.Walsh propos +! that a resolution of condolence be passed on the death of Mr.McAnuky, puurdian of Fletcher's Field.This was edopted uranimously.The arrangement of the staff for the 2uproaching season will come up for con-

Canada.- An Hem of over 3500 for \u2018testimonials\u2019 appeared in the treasurer's report, and about the only ex- Planatioa forthcoming was ¢bat the money was gone and could not be recovered.This \u2018testimonial\u2019 fund bears strong resembiaace to the \u2018prizes\u2019 that used to be furnisbed to some of the promineat amateur hockey and baseball teams.In other lines of sport the Canadian amateur authorities have been having similar trouble, snd it appears that the money-getting amateur is spreading throughout the Dominion.Cornwall, March 3.\u2014The most reliable sign of spring yet observed is .the movement of lacrosse players te other towns.On Sunday night, Donald Cameron, who played with Oshawa last summer, took his departure for St.Catharines.Quite a largé party of friends were at the depot to see him off.Mr.C n ts going to St.Catharines to take a good position, not to play lacrosse, but it \u2018is hardly probable that the St Catherines Club will leave him long among the spectators.Mr.Cameron is ane of the best defence men Cornwall has ever turned out, which is saying a great deal.He is not a big man physically, but there are precious few men who can check as effectively.He has all the proverbial courage and resource of the canny Scot, and will be a decided acquisition to St.Catharines.E.Clement, another Cornwall man who figured on the Oshawa team last year is now in Montreai, and along with H.De- caire, will figure on the National's line-up.After all, bowever, Eastwood and\u2019 De- catre, are the only two of last year's team who have left town, so that Cornwall wu! not be crippled to any extent this year, for F.Degan and J.White will fill these gaps.People from the big cities who wonder where the Cornwall Ciub finds its recruits, should have been here on Sunday to see nearly two Mundred players marching in the funeral cortège of ex-Captain Riley.Cornwall had a splendid junior league last season, snd there is every indication of an equally strong league this sammer.\u2014 WITH THE BOWLERS \u2014 Three games were rolled last night in the intermediate league.Royale defeated Ste.Cunegonde by 276 pins; M.A.A.A.defeated 3rd Vics by 40 pins,

for several years and there is every reason to believe that the popularity of this class will last for many years to coms, and to encourage racing in this class the Indian Harbor will put up a perpetual challenge cup.The conditions to govern races for this trophy.have nol yet been completed, but they will be very similar to those which govern races for the Manhasset Bay challenge ¢up.for 30-footers.The challenge must be made by some club and the challengers aad defenders will each be represented by three boats.After a challenge has been accepte and the details of the races agreed on, then either clubs can enter the contest race under the same terms of the match and each club will be represented by three boats.The point system will be used in determining the winner.Each boat will be credited with a point for each boat It defeats and an extra point for a start.The club scoring the most points in the race or series of races will get the cup and bold it subject to challenge.1t has not yet been decided whether to hoid one or three races for the cup, all the details will be announced shortly.The Seawanbaka, Corinthian and tbe American yacht elabs wili probably be the first challengers for the trophy.Members of the Marine and Field Club have ordered a one design class of boals, which are being built at the Milton Point shipyard.Six of these boats have been ordered.They will be raced in a series of contests arranged for by the club and in the regular 15-foot class of the Gravesend Bay Yacht Racing Aseociation.The dimensions of the boat are: Twenty- four feet over all, 15 feet on the load water line, 6 feet 6 inches beam, and 3 feet 10 inches draught.They are of the Knock- abeut class and carry 1,000 pounds of outside ballast.They should be fast and a good boat for racmg or sailing on the lower bay.Commodore George Launder, jr., of the Indian Harbor Yacht Club, is now cruising in the Mediterranean on his schooner yacht \u2018Endymion.\u2019 It was reported that the \u2018En- dymton' would stay in foreign waters during the summer and possibiy take part in some of the handicap races.This report has been denied, and the \u2018Endymion\u2019 will be back here in time for the opening of the yachtime season, and Commodore Lauder will take charge of affairs at Indian Har- \u2014 GOLF.News of proposed changes in the methods of conducting the amateur golf cbham- gin.While adhering to the instructions given at the annual meeting that a qualffy- ing round should be held, the experinren- tatists now suggest that in addition to 18 holes medal phy, sixty-four to quatify, an additional thirty-six holes medal play bo added.The sixteen lowest players, will then proceed to play off at thirty-six holes match play.The report says that the proposed changes bave met with the approval of all golfers to whom they have been submitted, but does not say whetnor the number was large or small.A prominent local golfer when asked for his opinion on the matter said: \u2018It looks like a scheme to favor Travis, and I would not be surprised that he and his coterie of friemds are at the back of the plan.The champion can beat any player in the country in a long round at medal play, and ¥ presume would 1ike nothing better than to have the championship decided at 144 holes medal play.At this he would have a cinch but this move would undoubtedly prove too radical\u2019 Another prominent player said: \u2018I do not fancy the idea at all, and consider it absurd to mix the two styles of play in the manner proposed.The all match play plan certainly worked well out in the West last season, and, while with big fleids there is some slight excuse for a qualify\u2018ng round, there !s no justification for making the amateur championship a half-and- balf affgir.Either make it one thing or Abe other.This constant ides of change Zoes pot benefit the sport.For my part I prefer the old-fashioned golf.\u201d - POLO \u2014_\u2014 \\ New York, March

little pimples or eruptions of the skin; & feeling of weariness and a desire to avoid exertion; perhaps an oceasional headache.These may not seem serious; perhaps you may think that the trouble will pass away\u2014but it won't unless you drive it out by putting the blood right with a health-giving tonic.And there is only one blood-renewing, health-giv- ing, nerve-restoring tonic\u2014Dr.Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.Over and over again it has been proved that these pills cure when other medicines fail, and thousands of grateful people testify that they are the best of all spring medicines.Miss D.Brown, Collina, N.B., says: \u2018I have used Dr.Williams Pink Pills for a run down system, and have found them better than any other medicine I have tried.In the early spring my blood was out of condition and I had such dizzy epells that if I turned quickly I would almost fall.1 took Dr.Williams Pink Pills for a few weeks and the trouble entirely disappeared.T think these pills an ideal spring medicme.If you want to be healthy in spring don\u2019t dose your system with harsh, griping purgatives, and don't experiment with other so-called tonics.Take Dr.Williams Pink Pille at once and see how quickly they will banish al spring ailments.Sold by medicine dealers everywhere, or sent by mail at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, by writing the Dr.Williams Medicine Co, Brock- ville, Ont.DEATH ACCIDENTAL.INQUEST OVER TRAGIC END OF NAPOLEON LEMAY.AT MAIBON- NEUVE.The ingriest over the body of Napol- son Lemay.who was killed by an electric shock, at the power house of the Shawinigan Water & Power Company, on Saturday last, was reopened at the morgue this morning.The inquest had been adjourned from last Monday, in srder to hear the evidence of John Peter- won, who was with Lemay at the time sf the accident, and had not sufficiently recovered from his injuries to be pre ent on Monday.Peterson, who was the principal witness called to-day, stated that Lemay was assisting him to change some tele phone wires on the outside of the build- mg.They went into the transformer room in order to get a ladder which was leaning against the wall there.Lemay, who was nearest the ladder, picked it ap and started to carry it across the room on his shoulder, and witness stepped forward and opened the door for him to pass out.As the end of the ndder came through the door, witness put his band on it and received an elec- rie shock which rendered him uncon- | scious.Witness stated be \u2018did not aesist | deceased to carry the ladder because the latter did not wait for him to catch of it.The draught from the open might easily heave blown the .I the live wire.| Mr.Julien Smith, an electrical gineer, in charge of the constwuction work, stated that Lemay had been under his charge and that he had always considered him to be aware of the exceedingly high voltage passing through the Shawinigan cable and of the danger of working near it.It was not possible te insulate a wire or cable carrying such a high voltage.fhe jury after deliberation returned the following verdict: \u2018We, the members of the jury, declare that Napoleon Le- may came to his death at Maisonneuve as the result of an electric shock re ceived in the power house of the Shawinigan Water & Power Company, On- tario- street, on Saturday, March 28, 1904.The circumstances of the case make it possible for us to declare that there is no crime in connection therewith.We would recommend that all possible precautions be taken to prevent such accidents in future.\u2019 THE RIVER.\u2014 PEOPLE ARE STILL OROSSING IN SPITE OF WARNINGS.\u2014_\u2014 The St.Lawrence, having meen during the night to 30 feet 1014 inches, i ed at 11 a.m.to-day 30 feat 5 inches, and the fall appears likely to continue.No vieible change is apparent in the surface of the ice, though it 35 reported to be getting very rotten in places.ln spite of this fact, the continued warning of the press, and the offical dosing, there could be seen from the Victoria bridge a number of foothardy individuals crossing some dmtance below.It appesrs to be à matter of cents versus life, unless carried out m a spirit of bravado.Ambition to be the last to cross or the first to fall in must animate the breasts of some of these individuals.AT OTHER POINTS.Beaunharnois, March 33.\u2014The Lake St.Louis ice appears to be solid yet.The water is keeping very high.J Berthierville, March 30.\u2014The river remains unchanged.Three Rivers, March 30.\u2014Crossing still good;

you were sentenced to one month for being an idle and disorderly character.For theft you served thrze months, for burglary six months, and for burglary in 1897 you were sent to the penitentiary for tive years\u201d The Court then pronounced sentence.Ryan, who has a most intelligent appearance, raised his eyes aloft and perceptibly changed color.Patrick Henry, the man who is ac- eused of murderously assaulting Mrs.Hanna, and was found guilty of holding up Henri Juliea, at Maisonneuve, and stealing from nim a purse containing $55, was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary.The judge dwelt on the grave charge 'mder which the prisoner rests, and said be gave him a light sen: tence in view of his future trial for aggravated assault.;

the ip was very amusing.As a matter dE fact, he did not know whether tbe supervision commission re- \u2018ferred to would be appointed, and, if so, \u201cwhen such appotntment would be made, \u201cKgivhow, he was not a candidete, In aopolusion, he added: \u2018One sure thing ia.that 1 will be found in my seat when the House resumes business on Tuesday next.\u2019 INDIANS AND LIQUOR LACHINE HOTEL-KEEPER FOUND GUILTY OF SELLING TO CAUGH- NAWAGA MEN, Alcxander Clement, of Lachine, was to-day found guilty of selling liquor to Indians of Canghnawaga.His plea was that be did not know the men were Indians.Mr.Wilson, for the prosecution, made elaborate arguments during the trial of this case as to the status of the inhabitants of Caughnawaga.Mr.Wainwright, counsel for Clement, worked ingeniously to set aside the contention that the men to whom Clement bad sold liquor were not Indians in the true sense of the word.They did not affect the native costume, and to all intents and purposes they were bona fide Canadrans.Judge Desnoyers, in an elaborate argument, held that Clement was guilty but he suspended sentence on the ground that defendant may not have known that he was breaking the law,.GUM M eHUJAL.GRAIN.Liverpool, March 30.\u2014Spot wheat and maize firm;

the cogs to be thoroughly boiled in oil.\u201cThe pinions are to be machine moulded with teeth planed on both sides, to truly match and run with the mortise gears.\u201d The gear wheels are to be fitted and keyed to their respective shafts in the best workmanlike manner.The working of the gears must be noiseless.\u201d We are informed that the cause of the noise and vibration which have given rise to the complaints aganst the pump is the fact that the gears do not work in accordance with the contreet and specifications and are not noiseless, and this would also seem to be the opinion of the contractors themselves as by their said letter they propose to substitute a rope transmission in place of a gear transmission, by which they thmk that the trouble will be overcome, but at the expense of the city.\u2018We believe it to be part of their contract which they undertook that the werking of he gears should be noiseless;
