K.W.Shepherd, Montreal; Kobert Brodie, Montreal; J.H.Carter, Massawipi; W.- T.Macoun, experimental farm, Uttawa; Peter Reid, Chateauguay Basin; Chas.R.Robt.Hamilton.Grenville; J.C.Cha- pais, St.Denis; Dr.Grignon, St.Adele; O.E.Delaire, Quebce; G.Reynaud, Oka; John Strong, Cambia; Wm, Craig, Abbotsford; W.A.Meyer, Granby, HL.Gulline, Granby, and many others.The afternoon session was opened at two o'clock, by an address from the chairman, followed by the reading of a paper on orchard management by Mr.Reynaud, of the monastery of Latrappe.The field cultivation of the melon was the next item on the programme, followed by an animated discussion, in which several of the visitors took part.In the absence of the writer this paper was read by Mr.Chapais, who also opened the discussion on it.The discussion of the next item, strawberry culture.was opened by a short paper from Mr.William Craig.At this stage of the proceedings the subject of fruit boxes for the exportation of apples provoked a vigorous discussion.Sample boxes were exhibited by Messrs.Mever, Thomas Company, of Montreal and Granby.À resolution was \u2018passed favorably recommending Phese boxes.At the evening session the proceedings were opened by a paper on \u2018The importance of horticulture and fruit- tree culture by Mr.O.E.Delaire, of the Department of Agriculture, Quebec.This was a very able and instructive essay.Mr.Chapais.of St.Denis, next read his paper on the effects of the winter of 1903-4 on the orchards of Kamouras- ka.The experience of the fruit growers present showed the destructive effects of the long-continued low temperature of last winter.The meeting held three ressions and closed last night by the reading and discussion of several papers.It was resolved to hold the meeting at Ayer's Cliff ,Ayer\u2019s an Dec.14 and 15 next.winter Flats-, « CATCH COOLIE PIDGIN.\u2019 THE INCENDIARIES OF THE RIO GRANDE.(Wilton Forster, in London \u2018 >xpress.) [The writer of this article was employed during the 80's in the suppression of pir- aey in the Chinese seas.He was thus frequently called on to deal with the brutal agents of the \u2018Catch Coolis Pidgin\u2019 (officially Chinese coolle emigration), then em- rloyed to find Chinese labor for the South American mines.The following incident, drawn from hosts of similar experiences, shows up the \u2018Yellow Labor\u2019 question in yet another loathsome aspect.] I wus on the look-out for two piratical cruft that had been committing some murderous outrages, and was watching the coast from Pinghio, some 80 miles from Hongkong, to Macao Roads.A gunboat's smoke betrays it miles away.1 was therefore sailing a captured pirate vessel known as the \u2018Red Pirate,\u201d and my cruising ground lay right in the track of the coolie ships.LIGHT AHEAD! The night was a pitch dark one, and tired out with being on deck all day I was dozing aft when suddenly the lookouts yelled \u2018Light ahead.\u201d \u2018Where away?I called back.\u2018It\u2019s a fire on the lee Peam, eca-pi-tan,\u201d then growled a voice from the inky blackness in the bows.Sure enough that bright glare to lece- ward no more than the size of a man's hand to the naked eye.became, when once the night glass had fairly focussed, a full-rigged ship on fire fore and aft.\u2018You no can catchee that piecee ship till alle man have makee celo (died).muttered the weather-beaten old pilot solemnly.My men displayed none of their usual alertness in this work of rescue; and I rated them sharply for heliev- ing in the stupid Chinese superstition \u2018that men you suve from drowning are bound to injure you afterwards.\u2019 Meanwhile the ex-pirate was slipping | through the water before a nine-knot brecze, her fine lines causing her to glide through the dark phosphorescent seas in a seeming track of palest blue flame as she rapidly ran down towards the burp- mg ship.This was apparently a large sailing vessel of some 1.500 tons\u2014now a veritable Hery furnace.Despite the red glare of the flames, not a sign of a boat or a raft was to be anywhere seen! Nothing but a spar or two and some deck lumber floating well clear of the ship.THE POWDER MAGAZINE All of a sudden an explosion seemed to lift the burning vessel's stern out of the water, the mizzen-mast appeared for a moment like a huge, fiery dart against a background of heavy smoke-laden air\u2014 then the whole burning mass shrank together, and disappeared\u2014nothing but a few specks of fire in the surrounding darkness: being left to show where the great ship had been! I ordered ua boat to be lowered, and the crew pulled carefully round the charred and blackened wreckage.Just as the search for any survivors was being given up, a faint cry far to leeward caught my ear.Then another and louder ery, apparently coming from the sea itself, and as the boat passed two or three planks loosely lashed together, a big Shan tung man in the hows seized a vouth of 19 or 20 by his pigtail and dragged him in.He was tall and well built, with an intelligent face, and the large and fearless eyes occasionally seen in Chinese of mixed races.He tod me that bis DAILY WITNESS.ship was the \u2018Rio Grande\u2019 (be called it \u2018Lio Glande\u2019) engaged in \u201ccatch coolie Pidgin.\u2019 But at the question how she was burnt the youth maintained an obstinate silence.you have nothing to fear, boy, from * I said kindly, \u2018so tell the truth.I am\u2019 an English officer in the Chinese «rvice, and the penalty for \u2018\u2018cuolie catching,\u201d as you call it, is death by Chinese law.\u2019 THE FATE OF THE \u2018RIO GRANDE.Then the lad quickly found his tongue again.The secret society\u2019s agent, who shipped on board as cook\u2019s mate, brought them the means to do the deed, and a number of the coolies then banded themselves together and set iire to the vessel when all but the watch on deck were asleep.Some of the European officers and crew were suffocated in their bunks, and the first boat lowered was overcrowded, and sank, for Ah Shing, the cook's mate, had taken the plugs out of it.The second boat made towards the coast.Ah Shing was in that one.No attempt was made to save the cooltes.Only one man, \u2018a \u2018Fiisco 'Meli- can\u2019 (American from San Francisco) knocked off the hatch cover forward, and broke the padlock off with an axe; but it was too late.The coolies had been suffocated whilst asleep.\u2018I was one of the gang that cleancd the decks up\u2019\u2014continued the lad\u2014\u2018and had been working in the galley, so Ah Shing bid me in the native one.\u2018Did you yourself see that all the coolies were dead in the hold\u201d\u2019 Yes, 1 lcoked down at all the coolies lying in the hold, but was too much afraid at the drendful sight.\u2019 OVERC OME IN THEIR SLEEP.\u2018The great hold was full of silent figures motionless, and in all sorts of positions just as the thick smoke had overcome them in their sleep, or in awaking from it.There were nearly a thousand men and young Telws\u2014they had nearly all been either decoyed or actually kidnapped by the Chinese coolie catchers, and then taken to the dealers at the Macao barracoons.Hardly one would have come of his own free will if he cculd have got away.\u2018I called out many times to know if any one was alive, but I was forced at last to come away, as the flames spread for\u2019ard, and the dreadful sight and smell of hundreds of roasting corpses made me feel sick and faint.\u2018Then I tied some spars together with loose pieces of rope and strips of my clothes, and dropped them overboard.I seemed to have been floating so long that I had almost given up hope when you found me.\u2018Lucky the sharks hadn\u2019t, boy?\u2019 \u2018They were too busy round the ship, eu ain.\u2019 Vhen we reached Macao Roads\u2014 where his home lay\u20141 put the lad ashore, the sole survivor, in all probability, of that terrible holocaust, with the exception, doubtless, of the incendiary.the secret society\u2019 s agent, Ah Shing.EVILS OF \u2018RUSH\u2019 AMERICAN SYSTE) Prof.Thomas Oliver.\"addressing the industrial hygiene section of the Sanitary Congress of Glasgow to-day, said the system of rushing, introduced into this country from America, was not cnly cause of unwholesome fatigue, but of many accidents which occurred in shipyards.Prolonged overwork predisposed the individual to ill health, and created a taste for stimulants, unhealthy recreation.and love of excitement such as was offered by theatres and music halls.\u2014\u20188t.James's Gazette.LETTERS FROM READERS.THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY (To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014Let us be accurate.The title of the distinguished prelate shortly to be in our midst, is Primate of all England and Metropolitan.The Primate of England is the Archbishop of the Northern jurisdiction, York.DAVID ROSS McCORD.Temple Grove.ce THE ADULTERATION ACT.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\") Sir,\u20141 wisi to draw your attention to a remark in an editorial that appeared in last evening's \u2018Witness\u2019 which stated that the manufacturers would oppose the enforcement of the Adulteration act.I wish to inforin you that you could not have made a statement farther from the truth.The manufacturing grocers\u2019 ection of the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Association has repeatedly urged the Minister of Inland Revenue to enforce the Adulteration Act in accordauce with the strict letter of the law.We regret to say that our petition has not always been listened to, and it is to the credit of the Hon.Mr.Brodeur that le has shown some action in the matter.We have assured the Department of Inland Revenue that the Manufacturing Grocers\u2019 Section of the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Association, which includes the largest spice, Jam and pickle manufacturing concerns in the Dominion, is at all\u2019 times ready to co-operate with them in providing Canadian people with pure foods.Thz existing conditions are largely due to the non-enforce- ment of the Adulteration Act during the past few years.S.EWING, Chairman Manufacturing Grocers\u2019 Section.Montreal, Aug.24, 1904.SHIPPING NEWS.CATHOLIC SAILORS\u2019 CLUB.Father Dowd Court, Catholic Order of Foresters\u2019 entertainment lest evenlog at tbe Catholic Saflors\u2019 Club was a success, the Rev.James P.Killoran, chaplain, act- {pg as chariman.The following took part: Miss B.Broderick, Miss May Coleman, Miss Annle Doyle, Messrs.Johan Prescott, P.Fox, Mr.Kartzye, Frank O'Neill, Mr.Dun- derdale, James Fox, D.Mackay, Mr.Lennon, Wm.Rowe, Mr.Gill, R.M.S.Tunis- tan;

ASKS POLICE ASSISTANCE TO FIND AN ERRING DAUGHTER.It was only a poor woman, plainly dressed, with a face expressive of anxiety and depression, who stepped quietly mp to the counter in the visitors\u2019 room nt police headquarters at the City Hall this morning.For a moment her presence there was mot noticed by the officers in attendance, and as she stood there she pulled nervously and impatiently at the tattered ends of an old black shawl which barely covered her shéulders.- Looking up from his desk the officer gaught sight of this unexpected visitor and rising from his desk he politeiy approached.In a twinkling and with the eye of an expett the guardian of the law sized up the situation, and with a friendly \u2018Good-day, madame, what can 1 do for you?offered his

to make known her errand.Slowly, and in a voice that told deep grief.phe related a story of a wayward child.She was à mother, and with the fervor of a parent's love and anxiety for the safety of her offspring she pleaded with the man in blue, to lend her assistance in finding out, if possible, where her only girl, of eighteen yeurs, had gone.She had left home some weeks ago, and it was feared she had gone astray.The officer listemed sympathetically; he told her to have courage and he would do his best to relieve her distress.For a moment he hesitated, finally he said: \"My dear woman, would vou care to relate your story to Chief Leganlt, if so 1 will take you to him?\u2019 \u2018Yes, sir, 1 will go anywhere and speak to any one if it will help me to find my girl, came the quick reply.A

done.while the weeping woman stood and listened.Then she said that it was all too true.Chief Legault was puzzled: finally bis face brightened up and turning to his officer he said: \u2018Captain, take the name and address of the woman and we will see what can be done to find her daughter.In words that gave expression to deep gratitude and anticipation the mother humbly bowed her way out ¢f the

death of John O'Donnell, farmer, of Little Rideau, who was fatally wounded by the prong of a hay fork, and who died 1n the Royal Victoria Hospital.| O'Donnell, struck in the throat with the hay fork, the point of which made au almost invisible wound, which, nevertheless, had the effect of causing bis skin to inflate when he took an 1n- spiration, crawled a long distance to Lis home on his hands and knees, got a piece of paper and wrote, for the benafit of bis absent family, an account of his LF case.He then fell forward insensible, on the floor.He was subsequently found, brought by special train to the Royal Victoria Hospital, where he died almost immediately after admission.His remains were taken to his late home over the C.P.R.this morning.GIRL\u2019S STRANGE ACT.Irs.Shearer Awakes to Find a Domestic Standing Over Her With a Knife.GIRL'S FATHER THINKS IT IS A CASE OF SOMNAMBULISM.Daisy Manson, a fourteen-year-old gird, employed as a servant by Mrs.Andrew Shearer, 507 Grosvenor avenue, West mount, appeared betore Mr.Recorder McMahon yesterday on the charge of grave assault.The case is a most pe- cubar one.Early cn Tueslay mormng Mrs.Shearer, it is alleged, awoke aud found the girl standing beside her bed, and brandishing an ugly-looking knife.She immediately grappied with the domestic and succeeded in wresting the inife from her.The police were sent tor and the girl, who expressed no sorrow or would give no explanation for her conduct, was conveyed to the lockup.It is said that she bas don\u201c some strange things before now, but her employers have never discovered any posi- live symptoms of insanity in her manner or language.The youthful prisoner, who claims to be but fourteen vears old, and who is extremely prepossessing, appeared before Mr.Lafontaine to-day, and pleaded not guilty.Her father and mother were present, as also the complainant and her hushand.The father, who is almost heartbroken over the affair.said to a \u2018Witness\u2019 reporter that his daughter had been in the employ of Mrs.Shearer some four months.She cid not like the situation, however, and has been desirous of leaving for some \u2018ime.\u2018We cannot imagine,\u201d said Mr.Manson, \u2018what possessed Daisy to do such a thing unless her mind became affected.She has always been an obedient and industrious girl, and the

WAS SMART.) \u2014\u2014 Sir Frederick Carrington on the State of Things in South Africa.APPROVES OF CHINESE LABOR.HE Sir Frederick Carrington looks all the soldier.He has been soldiering nearly all hs life.He was in the Transvaal, which he knows like a book, long.before the outbreak of the late war.In that war he did his devoir as head of the Rhodesian Horse, which made a name for itself for its daring, alertness, and the work iv did in fighting, in scouting, in playing the part ot rough riders.At the Windsor Hotel to-day Sir Frederick, who is accompanied by Lady Car- rington, talked about South African affaire while he strode up and down with the long stride of the typical cavalry officer.Sir Frederick quite approves of the employment of Chinese labor in the mines.\u2018Mind you, I do not want to see the country swamped by Chinese labor.nor is there any tear that such will be the case.But the native labor will not come forward; it was spoiled by big wages during the war.The Kaffir will only work when he pleases.aud that being the case, the mines would never be developed without imported labor.\u2018After all, will the mines develop the country in a manner as satisfuctory as agricultural development?\u2019 \u2018Well, the mines make business of all sorts; they circulate money; they keep the business of the ports going; and, by inducing others to prospect, they do really open the country.I do not under stand the agitation in England against the employment of Chinese labor.The Chinese are placed in companies (a sort of barracks), and are kept there; they do not assimilate with the general popula tion; they do their work: they serve their time, and they return home in due course.\u2019 Asked in regard to the amount of arable land in the country, Sir Frederick said that there was any amount of good land, fit for farming.The Boers had farmed fairly well, only they had too large farms, which they were unable to attend to properly.There was one great drawback\u2014the Jack of water.Of course, there are plenty of rivers in the country.but through the frequency of bars they are not navigable.That is a great pity.lf there were in South Africa anything like the waterways you have in this country it would be about the best there is.You have magnificent waterways here; the finest I ever saw, and 1 have travelled a bit in my time \u2018Did you know the Kruger ~ \u2018Uh, yes, many years ag>; 1 knew bim well.\u201d \u2018The British press has been, on the whole, sympathetic, in the notices which appeared arter his death \u201cYes; the old man believed mn lus cause; it proved to be a losing and a lost cause; but he was quite sincere.\u201cWhat is your estimate of his character 7\u2019 \u2018He world.men ever born.18 to say, he was uneducated; had tremendous natural powers.\u2019 Nir Frederick said that both were settling down in South Africa.There were frictions whtich would remain, there were feelings which would pot be buried for years; but the best people of both races recognized the 1n- evitable and were prepared to make the best of the situation.Sir Frederick would not admit that the miming business only benefited a few in the country, and that it was in the hands of speculators.1H: said the nunes were the great assets upon which the country depended; and (hat the more the mines produced the more would the land be taken up, for many would be induced to settle in the country from the knowledge that it was a rich coun- trv.* At the same time.1 think agriculture is a Letter basis than mining.and al though you have manufactures in this country, you have agriculture, which 1s best of all.Indeed, 1 may =ay that you bave a most wonderful country.| was through it last year.1 am now visiting it again to have some s»aoting, especially in the North-\\Vest, in company with Senator Kir:choffer In regard to Immigration, Sir Freder- tek said that he did not think it desirable to put any restriction upon race or creed or color so long as the immigrants were free from disease, \u2018You have such an enormous country to people that your chief problem is to find population.And all these foreign elements will be assimilated in time.\u2019 As to the question of the appo.nim>nt of a Canadian officer tu take supreme command of the militia.under our amended law, Sir Frederick :aia that he did not think at the present moment there was any Canadian officer who had sufficient experience for the post.At the same time it would be unfair to deprive Canadians of this honor, and he thought we had admirable materials which simply needed to be licked into shape, late President was the cleverest man in the He was one of the most subtle He was ignorant, tnat but he Taces THE LATE MR.R.H.MeGREEVY.Quebec, Aug.25.\u2014With Mr.Robert H.McGreevy, whose death at the sea side was announced yesterday, thert has passed away another conspicuous figure in the life of old Quebec for upwards of fifty years past.With him there vanishes from the scene another of the prominent actors In many of the most exciting episodes of our political history in many of the movements, many of the undertakings, big and little, which went to shape the destinies in this city and country during that period.\u2018Bob\u2019 Me- Greevy, as he was familiarly called, was su to speak, the \u2018power behind the throne\u2019 who for many years dominated this city and cistriet and whose influence wash not only felt locally but far and (wide in our public affairs, As the his brother, the late Hon.Thomas Mc- Greevy, he was closely identitied with various phases of that gentleman's public career, and with all great public and other works in which he was concerned, such as construction of the Quebec Custom House, the Intercolonial Railway, the North Shore Railway, the Ottawa Public Buildings, etc.He leaves a widow and a number of grown-up chil dren to mourn his loss.Hae was spending the summer with his family at

DOMINION SQUARE.There have been many rumors in regard to the erection of another great hotel in the neighborhood of Dominion square.Plans were prepared, as a matter of fact, in the time of Mr.Waite, the architect of the Grand Trunk offices, who had the idea that a great hotel, situated on the northern part of Victoria square, say, on the site of the Davis cigar factory, would be a paying venture.Something entirely different is likely now to be the case, on the testimony of those who are in the secret, The people who are inferested in the Caledonia Springs and the hotel there have con ceived the idea of piping the sulphur and saline water to Montreal, to be used for drinking and bathing purposes in à great hotel and sanatorium which is to be built \u2018not {wo hundred yards from the Windsor Hotel\u201d as one of the promoters said to-day in the course of some talk on the eubject.The distance from C'aledonia Springs to Montreal would be about sixty miles.Mineral water in the United States has been piped over a hundred and fifty Miles to great.centres for the purpose which the promoters of the new hotel have in view.It appears that there will be no difficulty in finding the money.The Caledonia Springs Hotel is doing a good business, but it has heen felt that as Montreal is the commercial metropolis of the Dominion, and the resort of thons- ands of tourists in the sumemr time.the bringing of the magic waters to the city.to be enjoved by invalids at the pressing of the button.would be a feasible undertaking from the start.There are negotintions in progress for a kite, which har been selected, but the deal in connection with which has not as vet closed.That is whv the promoters are reticent in giving particulars; but they have no hesitation in saying that the project will go through.tea BURGLARS STILL BUSY.Kingston, Ont.Aug.25.\u2014Burglare visited Colebrook village last night.They entered the hotel and got $25 from a till.Mr.Wartelsky, of Verona, a storekeeper, had his pockets rifled of $21.The pants were taken from his room.Mr.Green, butcher, Kingston, had his pockets searched.Fifty cents was secured, Mr.Green had placed his coat in safe quarters before retiring.GRAIN WAREHOUSE.WESTERN ELEVATING ASSOCIATION TO BE DWSIGNATED REGULAR! Buffalo, NY, Aug.25\u2014The New York \u2018Journal of Commerce\u2019 of to-day contains the lollowing statement: _Ât a meeting of members of the New York grain trade at the Produce Exchange yesterday, favorable action was taken on the application of the \\Western Élevating Association to be designated regular\u2019 for the storage of grain tor delivery on New York contract at Buffalo Several months ago the trade adopted rules and regulations for delivery, on and after Aug.1, of graded grain an either New York or Buffalo von New York contracts al an established dilfer- ence.Until a few days ago, however, no application had been received from Buffalo warehouses to be designated \u2018regular.\u2019 The action taken yesterday while not so designating all the warehouses belonging to or controlled by the Western Grain Elevating Association, nevertheless provides a total available vapacity in Buffalo warehouses of some 8,000,000 bushels.The designation of these warehouses has special significance just now because it will allow deliveries on New York contract at Buffalo on Sept.1.There is a small amount of grain here in New York compared with the recent beavy trading, and the action taken yesterday will tend to prevent sellers from being caught on their September deliverics.\u2014__ OBITUARY.Belleville, Ont., Aug.25.\u2014In the death of Mr.U.E.Thompson which occurred last night this city has lost one of its most prominent and most respected citizens.Death was the result of complications.Mr.Thompson was president of the Veterans\u2019 Association, having been a lieutenant In the 15th when his regiment went to Prescott in 1868.He was a Mason and Workman, a Presbyterian and brother-in- law of Mr.H.Corby, ex-M.P.; also a private CET SE .1 business associate and representative of!

Canadian Northern Railway shows that the alarmist stories as to the damage done to the Manitoba crop by rust are vanishing with the bulls who recently took charge of the wheat markets of the world.The damage done seems to be slight in this province and the Canadian Northern Rallway report confirms that issued by the Canadian Pacific Rallway a few days ago as to the yield being good and averaging up to twenty bushels per acre.At Morris the yield {s expected to run to 25 bushels, and from Miami comes a statement that the crop this year will be the heaviset harvested In the district.No damage Is reported from frost, and it would seem that, while rust is present in some sections, it reached the crop too late to cause any very serious damage.Cutting commenced yesterday, and will be general on Monday.There was heavy rain in Eastern Assinl- boia yesterday, with likelihood of it spreading to Manitoba during the night.The day here was cloudy.Rain will further retard harvesting operations.The North-Western Grain Dealers\u2019 Asso- cieflon excursionists returned here yesterday from their trip through the west.President Hargraft, of the Winnipeg Grain Exchange, who was of the party, Was asked if he felt more hepefui as to the condition of tbe crop.Mr.Hargraft said: \u2018No, because I never lost hope for a moment.Our wheat growing area is extending so much that people fall to realize that the partial, or even the total, destruction of the crop of one section does not neces- sarilv mean a small erop.Things are not bad in Manitoba, and we saw them under the worst possible conditions, because it was raining, but as we got further west,out Napinka and Ertevan way, the crops wer?fine, little rust and with heads too well matured for much damage.In the Brandon district crops are fine and much cutting is done.From Regina al! the way to Brandon cutting is in full blast, while along the Prince Albert branch the outlook is magnificent and cutting will be general by the end of this week.\u2019 HEMATITE FOUND NEAR PORT ARTHUR.Toronto, Ont, Aug.24 \u2014What appears to te large deposits of hematite have been found in the township of McTavish, near Loon Lake, not far

curing experimental station at Canso, has received returns of a trial shipment to St.Petersburg.A shipment of fifty packages of herring was sent to the Russian capital, and proved to be hirh- class fish, realizing prices as high as the best Scotch.A previous shipment to New York brought $11 to $13 per barrel, much more than ordinary Nova Scotia herring command in the same market.The herring cured at Canso are equal to the best Scotch, but the fishermen have not been very surcessfu!l in catching.This is partly due to the small size of the nets used on the stream drifter brought from England, and partly to the absence of a record of the movements of the herring on the Atlantic coast.In order to give the experiment a fair trial the operations at Canso will be continued for three years, and It {3 probable the Government will purchase the \u201823\u2019 and equip her with net: better suited to our coast fishing.The steamer wili cost about $15,000.It 1s believed that a good trade in Scotch-cured herring can be built up in Russia.RAILWAY EARNINGS.OVER A MILLION FOR THIRD WEEK IN AUGUST.The return of traffic earnings of tue Canadian Pacifir Raflway Company for the third
