that the defendants had advertised in the Montreal newspapers for hammer riveters and had made inquiries through their officers to obtain skilled labor for this purpose, without avail.The learned judge held that while the importation and employment of aliens was prohibited for the protection of the Canadian working man, the application of the act could not be pressed so far as to cripple any new industry established in Canada requiring the employment of skilled labor, and that it was not shown that any Canadian workingman skilled in this work had been prevented or deprived from obtaining employment.Messrs.Greenshields, Greenshields & Languedoc appeared for the prosecution, and Messrs.Foster, Martin, Mann & Mhckinnon represented the Dominicn Car & Foundry Company, Limited.TO FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS TO FUND IN VANCOUVER.\u2014 The Canadian Pacific Railway Company, through its president, Sir l'homas Shaughnessy, has contributed $5,000 to the Anti-Tuberculosis Fund, now being raised in Vancouver.A similar contribution is to be made from the civic treasury of Vancouver.PLAQUE IN SAN FRANCISCO \u2014 San Francisco, Sept.25.\u2014The totals in the bubonic plague situation to date are: Cases verified, 43;

government {to every Protestant rural school in the province outside of the cities and towns, with the proviso that such grants shall \u2018not be used to decrease in any way the.local

will report.upon the use of these grants; and their continuance will depend upon: whether they are properly used or not.In many.rural municipalities there are five or six Protestant schools, so that this grant will, in all likelihood.be very highly appreciated by the friends of edu- | cation: Mr.Weir has been a keen student of the conditions surrcunding rral schools, and this ie the first marked

\u2014_\u2014 New York, Sept.25.\u2014The \u2018Tribune\u2019 says: Two weeks after he was vaccinated by a Board of Health physician, Walter E.Brown, seven years old, of Brooklyn, died yesterday.Dr.George Barney, the physician who attended him, said death was due to the vaccination.He refused to give a certificate and askéd the coromer to make an investigation.The boy\u2019s father, two weeks ago, decided that it was time for his »oñ to enter the public schools.When he made applications, however, he was told that the boy could not enter unless he was vaccinated.The father objected, but when he was informed that there was no other way he consented, and took the boy to the Board of Health.Two days afterwards the boy's arm began to swell, and he suffered from convulsions.Dr.Barney was called in.He said the boy had been roisoned, and poisoning had been caused by impure vaccine virus.Mr.Brown says that he will prosecute the Board of

to-night addressed to the stockholders a statement, in part as follows: The attack made by Mr.Fish upon his fellow-directors and upon officers of the company warrants a full statement of the reasons why Mr.Fish was not entrusted with the continued management of the property.The most conspicuous of these is that while Mr.Fish was president of your company, and as such the virtual custodian of its treasury.he loaned to himself as an individual, about one million tive hundred thousand dol- Jars from the treasury of the company, on security of his own selection, which proved to be inadequate and unmarketable.Afterwards a director individually -who continue to send in money to the loaned the money necessary to pay the company to Mr.Fish.Moreover, he lcaned to the president of the

entire amount, and suffered a loss.The statement of Mr.Harahan is accompanied by a letter written to Mr.Fish on Nov.7, 1906, by eight Illinois Central directors, including E.H.Hibs wap and Mr.Harahan, in which wr.Fish is accused of bad faith in the handling of proxies at directors\u2019 meetings.Op\u2014\u2014 FOR MAYOR OF FRISCO.San Francisco, Sept.15.\u2014Daniel A.Ryan, an attorney who has been

\u2018Outlook\u2019 the weekly organ of the student body, which has use pended publication since the beginning of the year, will probably be revived in the course of a few days, now that the students of all the faculties bave returned.Through poor support on the part of the students, who failed to contribute to its columns, or to pay the subscription price, it had to be abandoned., The Outlook\u2019 was evolved from the McGill Fortnightly\u2019 which, instead of devoting itself almost wholly to local news and class reports, contained literary articles of considerable merit, and it has been reported that the \u2018Outlook\u2019 may be made a fortnightly publication.Several of the students argue that as the reports of McGill happenings appear at length in the daily papers, it ig a poor policy to repeat the same in the \u2018Outlook\u2019 columns.They further place themselves on the side of a fortnightly, instead of a weekly paper, by alleging that the latter demands too much of the students\u2019 time and must be prepared too hurriedly to ensure the best results.In support ol the fortnightly they urge that the best features of the weekly could be retained while the greater time would allow of the publication of literary articles.On the other hand a number of the students are in favor of continuing the \u2018Outlook\u2019 as it existed before the begin ning of this year, and devoting most of its space to college happenings.It was thought that with the appearance of the \u2018University Magazine\u2019 the \u2018Outlook\u2019 could easily be replaced, but the students feel that while it undoubtedly offers scope for literary ability, there should be « distinctively McGill publication, ax at other large Canadian universities.SHOT A MOOSE.Brookbury, Que.,

Sept.24.\u2014The Hoa.Nelson Monteith, Mister of Agriculture, was at his office to-day, having just returned riom a visit to Great Britain, lreland, France und Belgium, made Jrimarily with a view to looking into immigration matters as they aftect Ontario, He made the return voyage on the SS.\u2018Dominion,\u2019 which had a stormy passage.Mr.Monteith stated that be had been more than ever impressed witn the fact that Ontario needed \u2018 quality, not quantity,\u2019 in its immigrants, and \u2018that this could easily be secured.e has outlined a plan for future work with this end in view, but will not discuss it until such time as it has been laid before and decided upon by bis colleagues of the Cabinet.He thought that in many respects the people oI England, particularly those of the middle class, could teach the people of Canada how to live.They never seemed to he in such & hurry and bustle as were the Canadians, and yet they got their work done, lived and were usually in à happy frame of mind.Mr.Mon- teith was not impressed by farming conditions in France and Belgium.The peasants in those couptries were merely drudges.Life seemed to hold out little inesa for them.THB

Still Undecided\u2014Westmount Approach O.R.F.U.Rugby affairs still remain in ag uneettled a state as ever, but this time to-morrow should see the fate of the proposed Inter- provincial Union settled one way or another.To-night a special meeting of the Ontario Rugby Union will ;be held, when Hamilton and Toronto will be forced to one thing or the other, either to etay a8 they were with the O.R.F.U.or to throw in their lot with the Ottawa and Montreal \u2018clubs in the Imterprovincial Union, A new lorm-of affidavit has been suggested for the players of the Union to sign which wiil not commit those of them who play hockey and lacrosse from following those sports as was the apparent object of the form of declaration originally prepared, The suggested new afMdavit is as follows: 1.That I have never at any time received any remuneration Yor competing in athletic sport.2.That I have played with and against professionals in te games, although always remaining myself an amateur in regard to remuneration.3.That I am'desirous of competing with a club.which may become a mémber of the Rroposed Interprovincial \u2018Rugby Union.4.That it is my intention to adhere to the by-laws, rules and regulations o: snid proposed Interprovincial Rugby Union, which I understand are to be the same In principle as: thé Canadian Rugby Football Unjon, with which I declare myself to be familiar; and I further understand, should I violate such \u201cby-laws, rules or ,regulations, I am liable to forféit my right to take part in any games under the jurisdiction of #he proposed.Interprovincial Union, With regard to the move by Westmount two representatives of the club were in Ottawa yesterday to attend - the meeting Of the Rough Riders and to lay before the club a proposition that tbey with West- mount, might approach the Ontario Rugby Union with a proposal that that body should form three divisions, Eastern, Middle and Western, the -whole series to include Westmount, Ottawa, Kingston, Peter.borough, Toronto, Hamilton, London, Galt, Woodstock and Dundas, the winners in each division to play off for the championship, and the winners of the latter to play off with the Intercoliegiate champions .for the championship o! Canada.The Rough Riders\u2019 meeting, at which the proposal wag to be made, however, resolved itself into an intermediate meeting for net enough of the members of the senior team showed up to discuss senior business.By those who were present, however, the scheme was not favorably received, the generslly expressed opinion being that the Interpro- vincial Union was the best thing for the game in the East if it could de put through.The Rough Riders\u2019 intermediate team decided to remain with the inter late Q.R.F.U.series in the hope of land the championship for the third time, and becoming thé permanent posseesors of the trophy.REVISED SCHEDULE The revised schedule of the proposed In- terprovincial series is as follows: 7 Oct.5\u2014Toronte Argonauts at Montreal; Hamilton at Ottawa,

Intercollegiate Championship are Bright.- The prospects for McGill winning the interooliegiate athletic meet to be held at Kingston on Queen's University grounds on Thanksgiving Day, Oct.31, appear 10 be particularly bright.Last year she had little difficulty in winning ths trophy from Toronto ard Queen's, but these colleges have been strengthened by a number of promising young athletes from (he freshmen class.Ag yet but little new materlal seems available at McGill, though nothing very definite can be learned until after the sports, which will be held oa Saturday next as a preliminary.For the sprints, it is confidently expected that Carrey, #ho captured first place in the 100 and 220 yards dashes at last year's intercollegiate meet, will agama take charge of them this year without much difficulty.He bas been out for some work already, and is even now in fair sliape, and running as fasi as ever.Black, who with little or no training, gained a place in the intercolleglate events last year, will not likely be & candidate for the team this season, as he is almost sureto figure prominently in football, and the two forms of athletics are not very compatible for good work in both.Donahoe, probably McGiil\u2019s Dest all- round athlete, and a sure point winner, will again be on hand.It takes but a shight amount of work wo render him fit, 26 he is generally in condition, Bricher, of Toronto, will possibly take the broad jufip, though Powell should easily land a place, as he hag been getting out well recently.In the long distance runs there is nat likely to be any fermiduble competition offered against Kemp, who holds the in- tercollegiat» half mile and mile records.and bas never yet been leaded by any of his brotber students.For the hurdles and high jump, Waugh should again prove a winner, McGill's weak point is undoubted ly in the weights.These events may féll to the lot of Queen\u2019s, who has several sturdy uthletes at practice.Of la.t year's team Davis and Farris will be greatly missed, for while neither were in- @ividuaily brilliant, they possessed a liking for hard work, and thus help to get the team in proper shape.Taking everything into consideration, therefore, thé prospects for a McGill win are decidedly bright.There was some report of a meet with a representative téam from the Maritime Province colleges but this now appears to have beep dropped, and will not materialize this year.EUSTACE NILES, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION \u2018WILL VISIT THE UNITED STATES, COMBINING BUSINESS WiTH TENNIS.London, Sept.21.\u2014Eustace Miles, the

SULLIVAN, OF THE AMERICAN A.A U., GIVES WARM PRAISE TO THE MONTREAL BODY.New York, Sept.23.\u2014James E.Sullivan, president of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, returned from the Canadian championships,held at the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association grounds on Saturday, much pleased with the performance and the manner in which the event was conducted.\u2018It was, without doubt,\u201d said Mr.Sullivan, \u2018one of the best championship meetings ever held in the Dominion, and the Canadians are quite \u2018au fait\u2019 in handling A competition of such dimensions and importance.Things ran along with perfect precision,and the finely appointed athletic grounds çontaitred more people than is Usually seen\u2019 at amateur contests jn Canada.\u2018The greatest enthusiasm prevailed over the fact that two world\u2019s records had been made on Canadian soil, and both Rose and McGrath were warmly congratulated upon their performance.Matt, McGrath, the New York Club's representative, was 11 rare form, as was shewn when he sent the hammer the remarkable distance of 174 feet, but he fouled by an inch or so, thus keeping the great throw off the books.As for the young westerner, Ralph Rose, his shot putting was simply phenomenal.Before the actual competition was started, Rose put the sixteen pound missle fifty feet.The officials of the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association, under whose auspices the meeting was held, are great sticklers for exactness, and nothing which was not absolutely correct was allowed to stand.Every shot and hammer used by the contestants waa accurately weighed, while the distance measurements were carefully made.\u2018It was the first time that so many of the large clubs of the United States were 60 strongly represented in Canadian championships, afl Montreal athletes were highly pleased at finishing second to the New York Athletic Club, against the Irish-Am- erican Athletic Club, Boston Athletic Association, Chicago Athletic Association, and the powerful Olympic Club of San Francisco.While at Montreal, President Sullivan attended a conference at the Montreal Association club house, Mr, Sullivan was wid that the Americans wholly misunderstood the athletics over the border.The Montreal officials, according to the A.A.U leader, are for clean, honest sport, and they believe that their present plan will have a tendency to make a definite line between amateurs and professionals.\u2018The Montreal officiale are not going to tolerate any crooked work.\u2019 Mr, Sullivan further said: \u2018They are only

division of the system were present, \u2018and they have, it is understood, pre- \u2018pared their demands with the full cooperation of every telegrapher on the \u2018system .Advices from Toronto to-day state that an ipformal conference was held yester- y: afternoon, at the Union Station, between the superintendet of the tele- \u2018graphers and the committee.At the se of the meeting, the reprsentatives [of both eides declimed to discuss the | situation.The next conference will be held, when Mr.W.G.Brownlee, general trensportation manager can find it convenient to meet the operators, The G.T.R.wages run from forty- five dollars a month up, and despatch- ere receive about ninety dollars a month.It is said that the operators will insist on the increase, and while the majority o! them are averse to a strike, they nevertheless declare that they will in- |gist on obtaining what they claim., There is a very great scarcity of rail- \u201cway te operators at the present time in Canada and all over the United States, and this shortage will become much greater across the line after Oct.1, when the new Federal law takes effect, compelling all railways running more than a certain number of trains \u2018over a division a day, to reduce their operators\u2019 hours from twelve to eight heurs a day.In Western Canada the demand for operators is also very great, and the continued expansion of the railways in that section of the Dominion, the demand willl become greater.A CLOUDBURST.\u2014 Causes Great | Loss of Life and Property at Malaga, Spain.Malaga,

AND DAMAGE BELIEVED TO BE UNIMPORTANT.Messrs.H.& A.Allan received a mes sage yesterday from Fame Point, stating that there had been a serious collision between the SS.\u2018Mongolian,\u2019 of that line : and the \u2018Hurona\u2019 of the Thomson line.The \u2018Mongolian\u2019 was bound for Glas: gow, and left Montreal last Thursday.The \u2018Hurona\u2019 was inward bound from Newcastle, Mr.Andrew Allan saye he thinks the collision must have occurred outside the Straits of Belle Isle, and that, judging from the weather report a heavy fog was reigning at the time.He also said he had been advised that the \u2018Hurona\u2019 was accompanying the \u2018Mongolian\u2019 up the Gulf to Quebec, and that a survey would be made in the Quebec docks with all possible speed.As neither of the boats is equipped with Marconi instruments it is impossible to obtain fur- er news until their arrival at Rimouski.The \u2018Mongolian\u2019 is a vessel of 3,080 tons, and is commanded by Capt.Gam- bell, who is an experienced and trustworthy master.The \u2018Hurona' is cne of the largest freighters running between Canada and Great Britain.As regards passengers, Mr.A.Allan said that if it was found that the \u2018Mongolian\u2019 had sustained eerious damage the passengers would be transferred to the \u2018Corinthian,\u2019 which sails to-morrow tor Glasgow.Messrs, Reford & Co., the agents for the Thomson line, state that the \u2018Hn- rena\u2019 had on board a full general cargo, but no passengers.They could give no details of the accident, as the message which was sent to Fame Point was transmitted to them as well as the Allans.The damaged SS.\u2018Mongolian\u2019 passed {inward at Martin river early this morning.and according to Marconi despatches received at the Allan line offices at noon to-day, the steamer is expected to arrive at Quebec late to-night or early to-morrow morning.She will be thoroughly overhauled and everything nos- sible will be done to repair the damage, so that the \u2018Mongolian\u2019 will be delayed as short a time as possible.Quebec, Sept.25.\u2014The \u2018Hurona\u2019 and \u2018Mongolian\u2019 were in sight at 9.30 a.m.to-day, As seen from shore, the former has stem and anchors driven in up from the red water line.The latter has a gash on port side of bow near stem from water line up to her deck.The steamers \u2018Hurona\u2019 and \u2018Mongolian.\u2019 \u2018which collided yesterday in the vicinity \u2018of the Straits of Belle Isle, are not ox pected here before 3 or 4 o\u2019clock tomorrow morning.They are proceeding very slowly.According to the latest news, the \u2018Hurona\u2019s\u2019 stem is badly damaged.AN IMPORTANT ARREST RICHARD DONOHUE HELD FUR COMPICITY IN CABMAN?S DEATH.\u2014 Deputy High Constable St.Mars

Will Cost Twenty-Five Percent More Than the Estimated $100,000,000.Ottawa, Sept.25\u2014Wihen the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway project was before parliament four years ago, it was estimated that the eastern division of the new transcontinental line, that is to say, the 1,800/mile stretch from Monc- ton to Winnipeg, which is being built by the Dominion, would cost in the neighborhood of $100,000,000.But with the increased cost of labor amd of material of all kinds it is no exaggeration to say that the outlay will be fully 25 percent more than was expected when the project was firet undertaken.Labor which was then available at $1.50 and 51.75 per day is now $2.25 and $2.50, and scarce at that.Ties that were to be had in abundance a year or two ago at thirty cents each, are now bringing eixty and seventy-five cents, whilst In some instances the contractors have been at their wits\u2019 end to obtain sufficient supplies at any price.Rails are dearer, food is more expensive, everything, in fact, that enters into the execution of this gigantic enterprise, #8 increasing In price, and is as likely as not to go higher again next season.; A considerable part of the eastern division across Northern Ontario, 1s through a region so remote as yet from existing railway facilities, that construc- ton at the present stage cannot well be undertaken throughout.When the sections now under contract eastward from Winnipeg, westward from Quebec, and the stretch under contract an the borhood of Lake Abitibi, have been finished they will afford the means of finishing the rest.But to put parttes in the field throughout the whole 1,300 miles from Monoton to Winni would involve much greater outlays th the transcontinental commissioners feel justified in incurring.In the meantime the route to be taken across Northern Ontario and Quebec has now been precti- cally settled throughout.It is asserted, however, that the G.T.P., when it 18 completed, will be even an easier end a more favorable route than its most confident supporters expected.TO VISIT JAPAN AND CHINA.Dominion Government May Send a Special Commissioner to Inquire Into Immigration Question '.Ottawa, Sept.25.\u2014The Dominion Government is understood to be considering the advisability of appointing a special commissioner to visit Japan and China, and possibly Hawaii as well, for the purpose of investigating the immigration of Japanese and Chinese into Canada, and possibly to assist in the conclusion of an\u2019 understanding that would limit the influx of Asiatic coolies into this country.At the present time Mr.W.D.Scott, chief supcrintendent of immigration, is on the Pacific coast to investigate on the spot the movement of Oriental population into British Columbia, and to report to Ottawa the results in his observations.Mr.Scott is vested with full authority, also, to deport all such of the newcomers, Japanese, Chinese or Hindoo, as are liable to become a charge on the country at large.At the present time negotiations are in progress between Ottawa and To- kio having for their object the limitation of the Japanese immigration into Canada to five or six hundred per yesr, but negotiations over such a great distance are risble to delays that the presence of à Canadian representative in Tokio might obviate.Moreover, this whole movement of Oriental population into Canada has been shrouded from first to last in such mystery that it is as well that we should understand whence its inspiration bard was drawn, and what are the agencies that are mow pouring Hindoos, Chinese and Japanese into the country in such unprecedentedly large numbers.It has been stated, on the one hand, that no more large parties are coming, and that ex-Senator Chillingworth, of Honolulu, who was responsible for the invasion, found the thing a losing game from the financial point of view, and that instead of going at once to the railway construction work in the states for which they were intended, the Japs he sent across scattered in all directions, so that the employment agent was unable to collect his commissions.The story goes, too, that many of the Japs who were provided with $25 cash each to show that they were not paupers, have neglected to turn over this money on landing, and that the employment agents are out this money besides.On the other hand, it was stated by one of the officers of the last liner that reached Vancouver from the Orient, that 30,000 more Japanese have taken out passports to come to this country and will cross to British «Columbia just as auickly as boats can be found to carry them.Investigation would show what ground there is for these conflicting reports.It is probable that an announcement will be made of the government's intention in these matters within a few days.In the meantime, the whole problem of Asiatic immigration is still engaging the consideration of the ministry, and was under discussion at yesterday's meeting of the
