that Mr.Cushing's plans for redress had been turned down by the City Council, particularly that of was not only the representative of his ward, but a member of the Roads Committee; that Mr.Cushing hoped to make use of Ald.Ames\u2019s personal friendship (a rather one- sided friendship, if one may judge by the spirit of his letters) to further his plans; that Ald.Ames, altbough willing to help a friend by all proper means, refused to do so at a sacrifice of the public inter: ests to please friend or foe; that Mr.Cushing\u2019s plans were not adopted by the council; that he holds Ald.Ames at least partly accountable for the failure, and that he has considered the St.Antoine contest a fit occasion to vent his ire.Nothing more is needed to show the animus which inspires this unwarranted attack upon Ald.Ames than the gratui- name of Ald, Ekers, and the covert sneer at Ald.Ames as a Christian gentleman contained in the last paragraph of this evening's letter.Mr, Cushing should have had more respect for himeelf.It is a pleasure to support a candidate who refuses to avail himself of openings, such ag the paragraph in question affords, to make a counter-attack upon the gentleman, and he 18 a gentleman, whom Mr.ing embarrasses by his support.Cushing E.EDWIN HOWARD.Montreal, Nov.1, 1904, ITALIAN ELECTIONS.CAMPAIGN AT FEVER HEAT\u2014AN- ARCHIST ACTIVITY.Rome, Nov.2.\u2014The electoral campaign is at fever heat.There was a severe fight in the public hall in Palermo, where Palizzolo, the Mafia leader, and former deputy, who was once convicted of murder, but subsequently acquitted, and who is again a candidate for deputy, attempted to speak at a meeting of his opponents.He was greeted with cries of \u2018down with the traitor, and in the riot that followed several persons were badly injyred.At Corato, near Bari, a procession of 10,000 people escorting a candidate through the streets, was fired upon by the supporters of the opposition candidate and several were wounded.The police restored order.The troops are expected to prevent fur- disorder.York.Nov.2\u2014A Milan Italy, despatch to the \u2018Herald, dated Nov.1, says:\u2014The attempt which was made by anarchists to set fire to the Palace of ! Justice early yesterday, and which was discovered in time to prevent serious damage, has been followed by a similar attempt, this time directed against the great palace in which the archives of state are preserved.In the courtyard of this building may be seen the un- completed equestrian statue of Napoleon.a monument never finished, owing to the opposition of the extreme political parties.The building itself contains à thousand documents of incaleul- ; able value.The fire was discovered at | a little past midnight, by the proprietor | of an adjacent café.When the police and firemen arrived they discovered that as in the attempt of the day before.the large door of the palace had been soaked with turpentine, a small pile of turpentine saturated sawdust placed against it and the whole ignited.Thanks to the prompt action of the man who discovered the fire the damage was slight.Two onlookers.who audibly approved the action of the incendiaries.were arrested.Anarchists are now generally advocating violence in all their meetings and newspapers.; The struggle over the approaching elections is becoming bitter.Both the socialists and the anarchists are making free use of all sorts of gross insults and violence.FELL INTO THE HOLD.David Aubrey, a \u2019longshoreman, sustained severe internal injuries by falling into the hold of the steamship \u201cMexican,\u201d while at work on that vessel yesterday.He was taken in the ambulance to the Notre Dame Hospital.to be making good pro- He was reported ternoon, gress toward recovery this a PricE One CENT.BULLETINS.ELECTION The results of the general elections tomorrow will be bulletined at the \u2018Witness\u2019 office immediately after the close of the polls.The retdrns as they are re ceived will be displayed by stereopticon.Special arrangements have been made to give the results at the earliest possible moment.NEWS IN BRIEF.The Associated Press authoritatively announces to-day that the basis of the British-Ruesian understanding regarding the commission of inquiry into the North Sea incident is now complete.The tremendous attack begun on Port Arthur on Oct.26 still continues.Hundreds of guns are battering the north and east forts, and the infantry are moving forward with desperate rushes.Gen.Sakharoff telegraphs to-day that the Japanese are showing marked signs of recommencing the offensive against the Ruesian left wing, and have also re occupied the village of Sandia pu, near the Hun river, in front of the Russian right flank.The Chinese Government has sent troops to Shan hai kwan.This closes the last Russian port in the Far East.Mr.Balfour is indisposed, and will be confined to his room for a few days.Election feeling in Italy is running high.A severe fight is reported in Palermo, and in Milan an attempt by the anarchists to set fire to the Palace of Justice was discovered barely in time to prevent serious damage.The Pope is suffering from a slight attack of gout.The cone on Mount Vesuvius, which formed during the late eruption, fel.into the crater yesterday with a tremendous roar.Newfoundland election returns, so far received, strongly favor the Bond Government.The Winston reservoir at Salem, Mass., burst early this morning, sending a million gallons of water against the houses adjoining.Seventeen persons are dead, and several more are missing.+ Mgr.Moeller succeeds the late Archbishop Elder, of Cincinnati.In a race between a new big electrical locomotive and a New York Central engine yesterday at Schenectady, the electric locomotive easily beat the steam engine on a four-mile run.The annual report of MeGill shows a satisfactory financial standing and a ree- ord attendance in most faculties.Archbishop Bruchesi has left for Rome to pay an official visit to the Pope.MR.BALFOUR.BRITISH PREMIER CONFINED TO THE HOUSE.London, Nov.2.\u2014Mr.Balfour is suffer ing from irritation of a small vein.He will remain in his room for a few days.His physician insit¢ts that he regfs solely to avert inflammation of the vein that is troubling him.It is known that Mr.Balfour has a tendency to varicose veins, MR.KELSON RESIGNS.Mr.W.H.Kelson, general storekeeper of the Canadian Pacific Railway, from Feb.1882, to date, has resigned, and will take a rest before engaging im other business, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 RAIN TO-MORROW.By the purple haze that lles On the distant rocky height, By the deep blue of the skies, By the smoky, amber light Through the forest-arches streaming Where Nature cn her throne sits dreams ing, And the sun is scarcely gleaming, Through the cloudlets, snowy white,\u2014 Winter's lovely herald greets us, Ere the Ice-crowned tyrant meets us! \u2014Susanna Strickland Moodie.Meteorological Office, Torouto, Nov.2, 11 &.m.\u2014The following are the maximum and minimum temperatures:\u2014 Victoria, 532\u20144k ;

\u2018The most important thing in the history of the session had been the gift do the university by Sir William Macdonald, chairman of the board of governors, of the sum of $125,000, along with à site on which was lo be erected a building to be called the McGill Students\u2019 Union, \u2018for the purpose of re laxation, amusement and social intercourse among the undergraduates of the university.\u2019 Regret had often been expressed that any of the students who came up year after year to the city should have no better social basis than what was to be found in the boarding house and the restaurant.Moreover, the cost of living had increased by nearly twenty-five percent during the past ten \u2014 \u2014 A WORD TO PIANO BUYERS.You can get as good or better pianos at Lindsay's as you can elsewhere, but owing to our strong financial position we can give easier terms than any one else in the trade, and we never ask for promissory notes.11 and we will ex- plain.C.W.Lindsay, Limited, 2366 St.Catherine street, Montreal, or twelve years, Thus there was need for doing something to rende Montreal from this point of view a more attractive centre, and this union was expected to \u20ac te matters, It was a fortunate coincidence, also, that some much-needed residential accommodation was at the same time being provided by the committee in charge or the Y, M.C.A.The new building, which the liberality of the Chancellor, Lord Strathcona, and other friends, had enabled them to erect, did not become the property of the university, but it might be welcomed as the first of what may grow to be many dormitories or halls of residence.The Y.M.C.A building now being erected on the south-east corner of Sherbrooke street\u2018 and McGill College avenue will contain rooms for the housing of about sixty students.The financial circumstances of the university had never permitted of such ex-' penditure on the college gymnasium, but! 1t was hoped that the Chancellor's offer of $25,000, as a first subscription, towards the expense of constructing a new gymnasium for McGill would be followed by | other donations, ! egret was expressed at the depar-: ture of Dr.Tait McKenzie, who ad, done so much for gymnasium work.| Among the salieat features of educational progress during the past session were mentioned the continuance of the closest possible connection between the | faculty of arts and the MeGill Normal!

Montreal is the transportation to their friends of paupers or strangers who were liable to become a charge on the public charities.The report of the scciety on this work during October shows that twenty-six persons have been sent out of the city, some as far as Manitoba and England, and the cost to the city has been only $56.60.The judgment and experience of Mr.Lane, the secretary of the society, have been very useful in detecting impostures and laying bare plausible tales which were not based on fact, for the society does not give help indiscriminately, but sifts the applications and husbands its resources in order to have more to spend on the deserving.The following are cases that have been dealt with:\u2014 .A man, his wife and one child, who had come here from Boston, about four months ago, and could not make a living here, were returned to the later city.À nother man, bis wife and two children, from England, who were in about the same situation and partly dependent on our charities, after a year\u2019s residence here, were sent over the sea to their former home, The city was asked to contribute only $10 in this case.A man was sent out lumbering in the district of Three Rivers.Advertisements.Weary Shop Girls, Pale, Tired Women You Feel \u201c Draggy,\u201d Lifeless, Nervous, Never Rested, FERROZONE Will Make You Feel Like New\u2014 It Vitalizes, Tones and

the Grenadier Guards band will no doubt awaken in the minds of all old Grenadiers now residing in this city, pleasant memories of days long gome by.Mr.Frank Smith, one of the few Grenadier veterans residing in Montreal, can give some pleasant reminiscences of his youthful days in the first battalion of the Guards.Speaking of those days to a \u2018Witness\u2019 reporter yesterday Mr.Smith said: \u2018Often have we enjoyed the grand music of the band at \u2018guard mounting\u2019 at St.James's Palace and on other occasions.The last time some of us had the opportunity of hearing them was upon the morning of Dec.1, 1861.It was on that date that the 1st Battalion of Grenadier Guards marched from Wellington barracks, London, to proceed to Canada, owing to the Trent affair, which caused so much excitement in England at that time.The band played us to the railway station.\u2018After crossing the Atlantic in the WEDNESDAY, NOVIMBER 2, 19 4.REN AY EEN TNE x RI AE TRE The Kind You Have

Intermediate Team will Probably Join the C.A.H.L.MONTREAL AND SHAMROCK TO PLAY FINAL GAME ON SATURDAY, } The McGhll Skating and Hockey Club held its annual meeting last night in tbe Arts building.About seventy men were out, 4 and a very enth\u2018islastime meeting was held.Mr.A.Dale-Harris, the retiring secretary, read the annual report.He showed that last year the club had tbe largest number of membors in its history, the income from membership tickets having Increased over sixty dollers.The report advised that an intermediate team be entered in the C.A.H.L.This, Mr.Harris stated, the club had been given permission to do, if they wished, by the athletic and grounds committee.The report also advised a trophy for inter-class matches, and also, if practicable, an individual trophy.In the absence of Mr.F.Gurd, the retiring treasurer, the financial report was left over to a late: meeting.The following officers were elected for the coming season: Honorary president, Dr.J.M.Elder; president, F.McKenna, Law '06; vice-president, E.M.'06; secretary, W.Robinson, Arts 03; Lockey captain, H.Gilmour, Science \u201808; treasur.r, G.E.McCuaig, Science \u201906.Commnilttee\u2014Science: Price, Anderson, Zimmerman and Ross; Arts: Graham, Me- Dougall, Payne and Bailey; Medicine: Young, McCallum, Sterhens and Campbell; Law: Greenshlelds, Stephens and Papinéæu.The first hockey team should give a gcod account of itself in the intercollegiate matches this year.as a hockey player is well known, and the McGill students are confident that .hey have ds captain of their hockey team the best player in the university.Then, with the exception of Molson, all of last year's team is in college.Among the new men is Charlie Ross, of Ottawa, who played last year with the Pittsburg Bankers.FOOTBALL There is one very noticeable fact about the great college game of football as it is played this year, and that is that there is no longer any \u2018Big Four.\u201d Time was, not so very long ago, that when Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania or Princeton tackled any smaller or less known college it was only a question of how large their score would be.This season, fortunately, these colleges of the once so-cailed \u2018Big Four\u2019 have all been beaten with the exception of Pennsylvania.This condition of affalrs can fail to be satisfactory only to the students of the colleges enumerated.It puts new life into the smaller colleges and is a great boon to a manly sport.There is no longer a football aristocracy and no college, out of contempt, can afford not to take on games with smaller rivals.The eleven of Syracuse University, once in a classe with Hobart, Rochester and Hamilton, is now a competitor whose prowess no team can afford to disregard.Football has many enemies because of their lack of knowledge of the game.There are those who say that it is dangerous to play it.No one asserts tbat it is not a strenuous pastime, but when it is played by those properly trained for it the game is no more dangerous than any other.When we read of young men being seriously in- Jured while playing it is almost always because they are not in proper physical condition and because they have not \u2018trained\u2019 faithfuliy.There is no sport which teaches courage, self-reliance and quickness of thought to such a degree as does football, which has reached its greatest degree of development in our Canadlan colleges.The final game of the intermediate series will be played at the Shamrock grounds rock.Shamrock proved to be surprisingly strong against Montreal last Saturday, and obtained a lead cf ten points, which Montreal will have to overcome in order to land the championship.The Shamrock team is \u2018a well balanced one, possessing much Rugby skill, and forms an aggregation ratber stronger than the usual intermediate lot.The Shamrock backs are equal to the best, whether in running or Kicking.The scrimmage has received favorable comment from the critics, and the wing line is well able to take care of itself.Toronto Unisersity comes here on Saturday.and will play McGill on the college c2mpus.This game has an important bearing on the Intercollegiate Union championship, and if McGill is to figure near the top.it will be necessary to win this game.McGill defeated Toronto in Toronto, and Queen's has repeated that rer- formance.McGill defeated Queen's in Montreal, and Queen's turned the tables in Kingston.1t looks like a draw between McGIll and Que2a\u2019s, but in order to ensure that, M-Gil] must defeat Toronto when they meet on Saturday.Saturday's games will have a direct effect on the Quebec Un- fon championships.Montreal bas to go to Advertisements, Purity Bread.not touched by hands.Sold in

published,\u2019 and now there comes to light a nineteen-year old lad named Fred Moullen, who has but one foot, yet is the most agile athlete on the Pacific coast, outside of a few \u2019Varsity stars.When but a boy six years old, curiosity led young Moullen to see how certaln cogwheels worked.When he got through with his investigation his toes had been ground off.Now, with this stub, which has artificially been\u2019 built up into a foot, shod with a common shoe, and his left one encased in the spike of the cinder path, Moullen is able to vault 10 feet 10 inches, throw \u2018the 12-pound hammer 152 feet and toss the 6- pound shot to the 43 foot mark.On the gridiron he is the giant guard of the Lick school team -and does the puting for that aggregation with his injured extremity, and with such force that his averages are about fifty yards.Place kicking for goals are bis forte on the football field, and to send the ball over.the bar from the 45 * yard line is an easy performance to him.Up to two years ago this phenomenal boy athlete had been content to limit his athletic agility to the football field.Then he was urged to take to the cinder track.His first

\u2018Gentlemen of the Grand Jury \u2014Again the crown calls to its assistance in the administration of the criminal business of this district a certain number of its subjects, some to form a grand jury to decide if the accused persons bound over upon the preliminary investigations before the magistrates, shall be placed upon their detence before this court; the others to act as trial jurors and pass upon the guilt or innocence of those against whom you will bring in indictments.\u2018Your duties, gentlemen of the grand jury, although involving an important responsibility, are the less arduous of the two, and will not long detain you.You are only to determine from the evidence.laid before you, if a prima facie case has been established against the accused, reliable enough in appearance and serious enough in its character, to warrant a thorough investigation before a trial jurv.\u2018You have sworn to present no one for envy, hatred or malice, and to leave no one unpresented for fear, favor or affection or hope of reward.The remembrance of the terms of that impressive oath will furnish you all the guidance you need as to the general duties of your position, and the experienced officers of the court will inform you as to the details of the procedure under which your duties have to be discharged.Seven of you at least must concur in bringing in a true bill, and that result will be certified by your foreman by his signature upon the back of the indictment.He will also affix his initials to the names of such of the witnesses as have been examined by you, and no others can be brought before you than those whose names thus appear, unless upon the express permission or order of the court.\u2018The number of cases to be disposed of at this term is not unusually large, but they are of more than ordinary gravity.No less than four of the crimes charged have resulted in the death of human beings or of attacks upon them zo severe as to warrant accusations for an attempt to commit murder.A somewhat similar condition has been observed during a number of the recent terms of this court.Such evidence of reckless violence among a population as peaceful as ours usually is gives oecation for grave reflection as to the cause, and I am convinced that the principal reason is the practice of carrying dangerous weapons upon the person, which has become much more frequent since the rapid increases during the last few years of immigration from foreign countries,\u2019 We welcome respectable immigrants, no matter how poor, if they come to us able and willing to improve their position by honest labor.We give to them an equal opportunity with our own citizens to share in the advantages reault- ing from the rapid development of our country.We give to them the protection of our laws while they remain here.| Our courts are as apen to them for the enforcement of their rights and the redress of stheir wrongs as they are to the native born Canadians, but they must accept the methods and manner under which we live and not attempt to transport and practice here customs which they may have adopted in their native lands, but which are at variance with our laws, and will not be tolerated in this country.The knife, the stiletto or the revolver in the possession of an | too convenient for .excitable man is use upon a slight provocation, and often makes a fatal tragedy of what would otherwise have been only a case of simple assault.Carrying such weapons upon the person, without à special license granted for cause, is contrary to an express statutory provision of our law\u2014the knowledge of which should be communicated to immigrants upon landing here.Its enforcement should be more strictly carried out, and a violation of it, especially when it results in ily injuries, must be severely oun- ished, both as a condemmation of the one found guilty of its infraction and as an object lesson to others who may be ignorant of its existence.These remarks are, of course.intended to apply ; to any general practice of carrying concealed weapons.and not to affect any special case which may come before the court.Each accusation must be weighed by its own proof.and in every care that proof must be convincing by itself to warrant a conviction before this eomrt, The date when the terms of this sourt will he held is fixed by statute and accidentaliy, the 3rd ol November, ;

they are carefully inspected by the serutineers of both parties in the polling booth before voting begins and sealed up in the presence of the same officials after the poll closes.Four days later the boxes will be opened in the presence of the candidates or their jepresentatives, pond the ballots t would impossible, on the face of it, for boxes with false bottoms, or other fraudulent devices, to be sent out and used, as the Ottawa correspondent pretends is to be done.This and other pretensions are but herrings drawn across the trail, but Liberals wi]l be prepared as well as their opponents, to check fraudulent voting, personating and other tricks which the Conservatives are quite as capable of perpetrating as anyone else.;

those who reported the previous.day that they had to go out of town to vote, to be allowed the whole day.After several suggestions had been.considered, it was decided to stop work : at 12 o'clock, and allow a half holiday to all, whether they voted in town or country.Mr.Bickerdike laughingly asked whether it would not be well if Mr.Doran included in his motion a recommendation how the men were to vote.Mr.Doran\u2014\u2018Unfortunately.I believe that the majority of our men are Conservatives.It is a tribute to the fair play of the majority of this Board that most of the old employees of the Board are Conseravtives.\u2019 THE POPE'S HEALTH HIS HOLINESS SUFFERING FROM AN ATTACK OF GOUT.:taws since 1869.Rome, Nov.2.\u2014The Pope is suffering from gout.Dr.Lapponi, his phy-| sician, has ordered him to rest for a week.The attack is not severe, His Holiness celebrated mass to-day, but all audiences have been cancelled.125 p.m\u2014Dr.Laponni visited the Pope to-day and found him much better.The gouty pain in his right leg is almost gone.lhe Pontiff said his illness was not serious, adding: \u2018The worst feature of 1t is the excitement which it produces.I am besieged with letters and telegrams of inquiry.The;

ne saw muraur commutied in the prisons of Siberia, be watched, Ior many years the brucaliues of tue omciwis; and atl last be escaped.; Nikoloff saw bis parents sink into the grave; he devised ways ol escape whicn railed.He was treated with greater severity alter bis plans were uiscovered.He was cuaineu, be was beaten; he was starved; and yet two-day ne stands upon Canadian =o0il\u2014a iree man, Attention was directed yesterday to a tall dark man wno walked up and down the platiorm at the Windsor Sta- tiom, waitlug lor the train to take nium west.He was fairly well dressed, ae had a beard streaked with grey; and he smoked 1ncessanily.His hands were jung and thin and white; he looked about him iurtivesy.He was shy at met, but being assured that there were no intentions other than those of a purely Iriendiy uature, he offered the story of his life.This is not in any essential degree different Iron inousands of other stories of Russian cruelty, which, nevertheless, have not moved the world to action.His father was a well-to-do merchant in Moscow.He had hau tne advantage of a college education, though this at last proved bis downfall While at oollege he had learned something of the thought and hope oi the outer world; ue had learned that there were vountries where a man suid the thing which pleas ed him, and whee he was as free us air, so long as ne did not hurt his neighbor.He longed to see this state of things introduced in Russia.He corresponded with the revolutionary paruy; the correspondenc: was intercepted.That was the beginning.He left the college, but still, apparently, under the surveillance of the police.He married; he settled down to commerce; he did well.Nevertheless, somehow he could not help sympathizing with the reform party.Not that he desired that a single drop of blood should be shed.He hoped to see a peaceful revolution, which would give to the Russian people a glimpse of freedom.He was cautious, and yet the police kept their eye on him.He received certain letters from the revolutionary party; he was arrested; the incriminating letters were tound on his person; he, with his wife and young family, without trial, were sent to Siberia.Mr.Peter Nikoloit was born in exile.He passed through all the horrows of Siberia.He said that he had seen sights which would never \u2018eave nie mind\u2014immorality and drvukenness on th part of the officials; okscenities on the part of the prisoners, who were brutalized by the life they led; murder, too, he had witnessed more than once.When he reached manhood he escaped, and, under another name, joined the army, not that he liked what the army stood for, but in order tial he might lead a life of action.Considering, however, what his family had suffered at the hands of the government, he determined, when the pres ent war broke out, to escape, and this he has done, though not without suffering greatly.He had some money saved, and with this he bought several suits of civilian clothes.He has walked thousands of miles;

that the people were so kept down that they did not care what happened ; that they were hoping for and expecting any sort of political cataclysm which would offer them the hope of betterment.\u2018Of course, nobody dare speak out in Russia.If the whole people could act together we would have a constitution to-morrow.But the vast mass of the people are dumb.If they made protest m any way, they would be crushed by the Coseacxs, who would be sent to ride \u2014 Advertisements.Peculiar To Itself In what it is and what it does\u2014con- taining the best blood-purifying, al- terative and tonic substances and effecting the most radical and permanent cures of all humors and all eruptions, relieving weak, tired, languid feelings, and building up the whole system\u2014is true only of Hood'\u2019s Sarsaparilta No other medicine acts like it ;

they point out that the \u2018So- lei\u2019 enthusiastically looks to victory on the whole line, and they point out certain errors in the \u2018Gazette's\u2019 article, especially as regards Sir Wilfrid Laurier, to whom the \u2018Soleil\u2019 is made to give a majority of 772 only, when, as a matter of fact, that organ says that the Premier's majority will be, as usual, in the neighborhood of 2,000.\u2014_\u2014 QUEBEC SHOE WORKERS.Quebec, Nov.2.\u2014Stock-taking is now going on in the shoe factories and as a result quite a number of hands are idle.These men have not been laid off as a result of the union difficulty.lt is expected that one of the factories at least will start running with international union men on Monday next.Adverttsements, Always eat the best.JAS.STRACHAN, Bakers to Royalty t DOMINION LINE STEAMSHIPS.WEEKLY SAILINCS TO LIVERPOIL From MONTREAL.*DOMINION.Oct.29 {CANADA,.,,.,.Nov.12 Montreal te Avenmeonuth (Kristel).*TURCOMAN ., Nov, 5 *MANXMAN.,.Nov.10 * Cold s:orage.{Cool sir and cold asrags.Bteamers nil at daylizh®.MODERATE RATES.Ask Agents for particulars of moderase rate service To Liverpool, m:85.b0 ;
