[" 117%: downs or vu taux os Gleaner Hvwrusanon, Q., Nov.6, 1908 When the election of R.L.Richardson was contested the motive was recognized to be the desire of the government to get quit of an inde- piadent critic.He was unseated on it being proved a too ardent supporter had hired rigs on polling day.Mr Rishardson hesitated about running again, but was finally induced todo so.When the Conservatives united with the government to squeleh Mr Richardson his defeat was seen to be inevitable, and the Laurier candidate Stewart was returned for Lisgar by asmall majority in a three- corpered fight.Had tbe Conservatives not put up a candidate, Mr Richardson would have been elected.The election of Stewart was petition- od against and when the trial was held a vast volume of evidence was adduced, which established that a great deal of corruption had prevailed, but, in the opinion of the two judges, there was no legal proof that Stewart knew of what was going on.In short, the petitioners failed to prove that the men who bribed, treated, and distributed railway tickets were agents of Stewart, the result being the judges confirmed Stewart in his seat.In his evidence Stewart stated he had not taken an active part in the election, but left its direction in the hands of gentlemen whom he did not know! Those invisible agente did their work effectually for a government which is intolerant of;anything akin to independence.The result is a staggering blow to Mr Richardson, for the costs of the trial are heavy.He hassuffer- ed in trying to serve the country and bas our sincere sympathy.On the last day of October the laying of the telegraph cable between Australia and British Columbia was completed and the first message transmitted.The cable adds a large sum to Canada\u2019s debt without the slightest prospect of any return.It will bring some business to the C.P.R.telegraph line and thatisall.Canada had already telegraphic commubica- tion with Australia and China by eastern cables, and, needless to add, bad few messages to send by either.The floating debt of the Dominion is reported at over 9 million dollars.That is, with a revenue bounding upwards dally, the government has not enough money to meet its bills and bas made temporary loans to the amount of 9 millions.Mr Fielding will, some of these days, be asking for tenders for a new issue of debentures.The blue book, giving a report of the proceedings of the conference of the colonial premiers held at London last summer, has been issued.It shows that altho the Imperial government pressed strongly on the premiers a scheme for a naval and military establishment, which the colonies would pay for, the proposal was not entertained.The only important resolution was that the colonies should give British manufactures a preference, and rwolu- tions to that effect are to be submitted to the Australian, New Zealand, and Cape legislatures.\u2018The Ontario papers the other day bad a despatch with a flaring beading, \u201cFiget Beet Sugar made in Canada.\u201d Quebec's ventures are ignored.It .wopld bave been better

attreèt attention.After a short sojourn in Yorkton their leaders said the spirit bad revealed to them they mast go om to Wiani- pos, aad off the men started to walk the 300 miles.They leit their wives and children at Yorkton, to shift for themocives, and bad\u2018 they not been louked after by the immigration of- felale and the mounted police would have fared fil.\u2018Those thue left behind

set of harmless loonies, who, were it not for the women and children, need not be interfered with, Humanity, however, requires that they be taught the duty of supporting those dependent upon them.Phe incident is one of many that teaches the folly of allowing foreigners to take up our public lands.Tuesday was election day in 42 States.The partial returns to hand indicate Demoeratic gains, especially in New York.So close has been the vote that it is in doubt whether the Republicans will control the next house of representatives, The announcement made by the Imperial government, that it has in preparation a measure for the purchase of the rights of the Irish landlords and will submit it at next session, will do more to take the wind out of the nails of the eedition- mongers than anything else possibly could.The bill will likely be on the lines proposed by Mr Russell and which have been endorsed by the Ulster tenants\u2014payment to the land - lords by the tenants of 15 years\u201d rental and a bonus from the government based on the valuation-roil.An expedition to put down the Mad Mullah is being organized at Aden, and is expected to start by the end of the month.At last accounts the Mullah was advancing eastward and had raided a British outpost, capturing many camels.- The first good item of news that has come from South Africa for months is one stating thata number of Boers have offered tbeir services to fight the Mad Mullah.Pitt by adroitly enlisting the Jacobites to fight France converted the Highlanders into loyal subjects.Were Ballour to accept the services now offered, he might work a like transformation with the Boers, Britain\u2019s firm stand over the murder of two missionaries in Honan has brought the Chinese government to its senses.A decree has been issued to punish not only the actual murderers but the officials who failed to protect the missionaries.When the governors of provinces and their subordinates know they will be held accountable for injuries done to British subjects, they will look after their safety.ORMSTOWN The old Free church, built about the year 1855 by the late William McNaughton, has Leen taken down by Mr Brunet, stonecutter, He yses the timber for a new workshop.The church was set on stone piers but no records or newspapers were found in them.The removal ol the church gives Mr Brunet more yard room.The brick-yards are closing.The season\u2019s make was large, but since July the demand has been slack, and all the yards carry over considerable stock, much of which will be cold doring the winter.The combined stock of the several yards will run about 2 million.Hard brick is being delivered on the cars at $6 per M.Shipments of live stock to Montreal continue to be large, There have not been many new buildings erected during.the season now about ended.The new Catholic school is the largest, and David Steel and John Walker bave provided residences for themselves.At the railway station Wm.Daoost bus erected a largeatore and on the north side of the track two small dwellings have gone up.© Alex.McDougall's offar of $500 to macadamise 2 miles of theupper concession if his neighbors woutd subscribe ns much, is likely to result in the work being done next summer.HOWICK \" Hallowe'en did not pass off without the usual exerciseson the part of the boys, but their escapades were very moderate compared with those of previous occasions.The actors soem to bave a special aversion to gates remaining in theiy proper place, and insecure fences are sure to be levelled with the ground.Wm.Greig\u2019s retired residence, situated oo the bank of the Eagiieh river, surrounded by shady evergreens, has been further improved by an encasing ol brick, which will add to the comfort Mr Bluteau, Chrysostome stage driver, who has been ailing st the hospital for some months, died on Tuesday.He was obliging, and a favorite with the public, who will miss him.Ste MARTINE We are having fine weather since the month began.The zoade are drying somewhat and will be fit to draw on if rain keeps off another day or two, The first car of bard coal arrived on Monday; it is chestnut, and is sold at $6.25 a ton at the station.All our merchants are expecting carloads of anthracite before the 15th of this month.The waterworks company has got through putting in their pipes on the main street and in the lower village, or Primeauville, They expectto have the water in many houses of the upper village by the end of next weok, if the weather permits.Money to loan is so plentiful that large amounts have to go to the banks.CHATEAUGUAY Broken weather results in the fact that in many orchards the apple crop is not all gathered, even though it is the first week of November.Barrels are at a premium.Thecrop turned out 80 much larger than was expected that local barrel-makers have not been able to keep up with the demand.Certainly we have cause to be thankful for the bounty which gives 80 liberally.This is the season for husking bees, and while these \u2018\u2018hees\u2019 for some reason have lost a great deal of their old-time popularity among us, a few are still held, and fill up pleasantly the long evenings of early fall.Red ears are still eagerly sought for by youthful swains, and the girls still try to hide them, for reasons best known to themselves.At a recent gathering of this kind four red ears were brought home as trophies.We have much reason to hope that the simplicity of life may long exist which allows us to enjoy theee old-fashioned gatherings.An accident, which might have resulted more seriously, occurred last week on the Chateauguay which runs between Beauharnoie and Montreal, calling here and sometimes at Caogh- nawaga on its way.At this season of the year she is heavily laden with farm produce.and many farmers get on at the Busin and are crossed over with their loads to Lachine, from whence they drive to market.On arriving at Lachine the steamer\u2019s edge is often below the level of the wharf.Ou the morning of the accident this was the case, and it caused the gangway to slope.In unloading the tama and wagons, a wagon, belonging to a French Canadian farmer, slipped over the edge of the gangway and load and wagon were carried off by the current.A man from Reau- harnois.became entangled with the load and was thrown into the river.Fortunately he was resened and escaped with only a wetting.The team was not endangered in any way, for horses are always unhitched from vehicles of all kinds on boarding the steamer, 80 that its cargo may be as compact as possible.The company who own the steamer have been applied to by the owner of the wagon and load to refund him his loss, which he estimates at $100.Hallowe'en passed quietly with the exception of a few frolics by some of the more daring spirits who delight to depart from the ways of their elders occasionally.Roads are in a frightful condition bere as elsewhere, making travelling over them anything but pleasant.ORMSTOWN VILLAGE COUNCIL MET ob Monday evening; all the members present, except Bazinet, Mayor B.N.Walsh presiding.Moved by Coun McBain, seponded by Coun

everything.The Gault mille\u2019 boller-bouse received particular attention for its modern appointments; it is considered the best plant of its size in the Dominion.It may be here stated, that if Valleyfield is backward in some points it is particularly favored with fret- class educational facilities.There is the Gault institute, reinforced by the old academy school, the Catholic college, which has this year 284 pupils under an able teaching staff, the convent with 130 pupils, and the 5 publie schools, having over 800 pupils.The north ward school is provided with \u201call\u201d English classes.In addition to these the Sisters of Providence orphanage and kindergarten afford claes-room for over 200 pupils, and then, last but not least, the evening classes of the school of arts, which this season is patronized by a large number of pupils.It is intended, in the near future, to opena high grade commercial course in the Gault institute, - The miasmatic odors arising from the piles of street scrapings, which have been for the last couple of weeks beautifying the town streets, have had a deleterious effect on the town clock, which is in serious need of a professional tinkeropath to regulate its innarde.The Y.L.M.I.society gave a nice entertainment in the Gault institute on Saturday evening.They had secured the services of Mr Jas.Fax, who had prepared a program of new sketches and songs for the oceasion.Mrs John Wishart, who is a recent acquisition, from the land of the heather, to Valleyfield's musical circles, was advantageously heard in a duet with Mr Fax.A battalion of Valieyfield\u2019s fairest amongst the fair, dressed in immaculate white and sashed with red, white, and blue ribbons,gavea well excuteddrill exercise, under the direction of Mr Smith, professor of calisthenics.Miss McIntosh of Montreal, who poesesses considerable histrionic ability, gave several recitations which were much appreciated.Miss Edith Shannon acted as accompanist in her usual good style.Wanted\u2014A minister of public works to push ahead the construction of the Valleyfleld post-office.The present building has been renovated to the extent of $1 for anewstep.There

made, J.Weddle, formerly in the employ of the Buntin paper mills, after an absence of several years in Duluth, has returned to assume the foreman- ship of the M.C.Co.'s machine shops.A social was held in the Methodist church Friday evening and was well attended.Bopgs, recitations, and social intercourse resulted in a pleasant evening being enjoyed.Dr Van Eberts of the Montreal general hospital, wascalled to Valleyfield last week to attend Messrs E.E.Clark and Henshaw, suffering from broken ribs.Both patiente gre doing very well, Anthracite coal is coming into town freely, and by the time cold weather sete in everyone will befairly supplied.The price is $6.75 per ton.Seven barge loads of steam coal have come ip within the last ten days for the M.C.Ca.\u2019 \u2019 The str.Queen has

Valleyfleld last week taking water lezels between Grande isle and l\u2019Isle du Large, where it is claimed a water power of 15-foot head can be had, developing 10,000-horse power.The Northrop Iron workeare busily engaged in the manylactare of an automatic car air brake.The work is under the supervision of Mr Mills, manager of the works.The adrent of tyo jones ladies fo white crepe-de-chine

DATITUTR, Tho aunual presentation of prises took place ea flaturday afternoon, whos the hall was crowded.The proceedings opened with a motion cong by the kindergarten class, which aumbess 35, and which was dons ia % way that alicited prolonged ap- planse.Then these were two recite- tions, one in the character of a far mer by a boy, the other by Lois Me- Cusker, followed by an exhibition of dambbells by six gizls.Principal Messenger anucuncod that, in the unavoidable abesace of Dr Satherland, chairman of the board of trustees, the Hom Mr Ward would preside In taking the chair Mr Ward enid it gave him great pleasureto be present.He had not been in Valleyfield for a long time, and he was surprised to see the advance that had been made.He would call fires on Mr Gault, who was a gentleman of large views and large generosity.MrGauLr\u2014Iam nota speech-maker, and my motto is, Deeds not worde.I am delighted beyond all I can express to see such a large turnout on this occasion, and I assure you it ie the greatest pleasure of my life to see these dear children getting those educational advantages which will help them in life.I have two pictures in my library which I prise much and always show to my friends when they visit me*-they are two big photographs of the students of this institute sent me last Xmas, and whose bright, intelligent, and happy faces show what can be done for boys and girls by education.The aunounce- ment that in the recent examination of academies, this institute was rated third or fourth in the province, was most gratifying to me.I trust you boys before me will distinguish yourselves in whatever line of life you may choose, and that you girls will show in after years you have profited by the opportunities you enjoy.Iam sare the schooling you are getting will prove of great advantage to all of you.I congratulate Mr Messenger on the work he has done, and I congratulate you parents and myself on our having been able to retain him in Valleyfield, when such inducements were offered him to go elsewhere, I am deeply indebted to him, as lam sure you all are, for his decision to remain.Principal HACKETT, of the Diocesan college, Montreal, after explaining the absence of Archbishop Bound, detained in his room by a severe cold, went on to explain that he like them was grateful to Mr Gault from the same cause, for be had provided the beautiful college in Montreal with which he (Principal Hackett) was connected just as he had built and equipped this fine school for Valleyfield.We have both to look to Mr Gault and thank him.There is a picture on the walls of my study at which I often look, and which gives me pleasure and inspiration.In the foreground is a beautiful young woman, standing in the centre of 4 vast amphitheatre crowded with spectators.It is a picture of heathen times, the young woman is a Christian and is offered by the priest thealternative of burning incense to Diana, by whose altar he stands, or of being thrown to the lions._ Behind this youvg woman is her lover, urging her to throw the incense on the fire, but she will not so save her life and all that life means to her, but chooses Christ and martyrdom.The same choice is offered to all of us\u2014Christ or the world.He trusted every boy and girl before him would nat hesitate as to what their choice would be, but deny themselves the world\u2019s pleasures and become followers of Christ.Rev BH.J.Rexrorb, bead-master of Montreal bigh school, assured the children that few groups of scholars in the province pursue their studies with such equipment and amid such pleasant surroundings, and trusted they would show their appreciation of their advantages by gaod hard work, for otherwise all these exceptional advantages would be thrown away upon them.It is not what the teacher dues for you thateflects most, but what you do for yourselves, and do your work cheerfnily, thorqughly, and regularly.Bstablish the habit of hard work, and you will be success- fal.The scholar who legros quickly- and keeps at the head of the class with little effort, does not succeed so well in life as the scholar who, to keep his place, has to work hard.J congratulate you parents on having such an institute to send your children, and would ask that you do vot let them leave school too early.There was a {ime when a hoy with an imperfect education could succeed, but it has passed, for competition in every walk of file |e now so keen, that the best edpcation you can give your children is necessary to ensure success, Some boys realize this apd apply themgelyeg to their studies with energy.In ilipstration be told of a poor boy who was working bis way through Montres! high school by earning the fess he had ta par echop) bourg.Qf that boy's oc oe Ps con beno doubt.To get the best possible results out ol a school the three cements thet * parts-\u2014the teacher, the children, the parents.It was the general iden that the onccens of à cchoet rested with the tencher and the parents had nothing to do with is, but that was not 80.Among the duties of parents he would magnify one in particular that of cssing their childres were faithful in learning their lessons and regular in their attendance.No plcnie, no party, no concert should be allowed to interfere.The echolar muet pre pare for next day's work before go- fag to the party or entertainment, sot alter it, and must not be allowed to remain at home unless it is on- avoidable.It is common for parents to keep their children at home whenever they need their services.Look at the result of your doing so.Bup- pose on the day your boy is absent the teacher is taking the first stop in long division with her class.Whea Jour boy comes next day, he is uo- able to take up the subject, because bewas absent yesterday ,so the teacher has either to stop the wbole class to teach him what he would have learned bad be been present, or else go on with the class and leave him idle and teach him alter school-hours.In the one case, injury is done to the class, in the other extra work is thrust upon the teacher which she is not called to perlorm.The success or failure of a school depends largely upon the attendance of its scholars.Again, parents often send such a note as this: \u201cJohn wae absent with my permission.\u201d The parent who sends such an excuse with her child misses entirely the relation that should exist between teacher and parent.It is really a contract, by which the parent agrees to send the child and the teacher agrees to teach him.If you parents realise this, you will give your reason for keeping the child at home and so show you feel your duty towards the teacher.It your child was invited to a party and for some reason did not go, would you send next day a note, \u2018My son was absent from your party with my permission\u2019?You would not insult the person who gave the party by sending sucha note, and why should you the teacher?The reason for absenceshould always be explained, and absence should never be allowed unless for some absolutely.necessary cause.I congratulate Principal Messenger and his staff on the success which bas attended theirlabors.This building is an advance on past school houses, yet not greater than the advance that has taken place in the art of teaching.Clergymen must wake up or lose ground, for the conducting of Sunday schools has not kept pace with the advances made in the day-schools.This is the children\u2019s age, and a generation is rising which will be more exacting on the clergyman\u2019s talents.To be ready to deal with the new conditions and keep abreast of the age was an imperative duty.Rev Wm.HENDERSON, Methodist minister, told of the Moslem schools he bad seen in Egypt and compared them with the Gault institute, and of how he had found in Assyria the people so ignorant that they could not count or tell distances,forin that country there were no schools and had been none for a thousand years.Dean Evans of Montreal said, six years ago, he had the pleasure af being present at the opening of the Gault institate and was glad to learn it had so fully accomplished the objects for which it had been provided.When I come before à body of youth such as I see before me | am inclined, like Bishop (Gambrinus, to salute you with \u2018How are you reverend bishops,how are you doctors, lawyers, statesmen?\u2019 for you are to be the great men of the next generation.The foundations of success have to be laid in youth and the boy who misses his oppartunities at echool cannot recall them.Our generous friend here, Mr Gault, bas often ac- koowledged how much be is indebted to the training given him when a boy by the late Mr Rodger, hisschool- master.You mustcome here to learn not because you are compelled, but because you love tocomeaud acquire that knowledge which leads ta & suc- cessfal future.How greata difference knowledge makes was strongly impressed upon me this morning as | examined the great mills bere.The making of the water-power which drives them was always here, but it was not until men of skill and training took it in hand that it became available.Among other ingenious machines shown us was one that makes 10,800 revolutions a minute, exemplifying what skill oan do.The warld has na use for idle or ignorant people, and the time has passed when anybody can sucoeéd by trusting to luck.} wawld also urge you to acquire babits of punctuality, diligencs, and respect for your teachers.Strive alter whatever is beautifal and lovable until being good becomes a habit, Even church-golag is a habit to be acquired.Fix in your char acter good habits when young, and your lives will be all you could wish for.The Pean weat on to speak of bad habits and sald the only way to deal with them was to follow the ad- vies laid down ia the boy's essay.It Fou cutoil the head, the letter h, from Ponte up must all equally do their the werd habit, you leit a bis, dd Jou touk away the & there was shill a bit, so the only way was to est off hond, nesk, and body.Relerring te teachers he stated that, as cae of the city board, he had to deal with 350, and watched those among them who are progressive and keep abreast of the times.There was a danger of the scholars leaving the teacher bobiad, and told a humorous story to illue- trate the necessity of their advancing equally with their pupils.Mr Bznokvix, M.L.A., recalled the fact that be had pressated a gold medal to be given as a prise last year and now promised another.Hig heart was above everything that is fanatic and be was glad to co-operate with bis Protestant friends in promoting the cause of education.It was by the diffusion of knowledge and the spread of the religion of Christ that prejudioss and differences would disappear from among them.Rev J.E.DucLos expressed the gratitude be, in common with the community at large, felt towards Mr Gault for his liberality in supplying the educational advantages enjoyed, and trusted Mr Gault would live many years yet to ses more of the beneficial results of which be bad already in evidence and to which he had referred.He (Mr Duclos) trusted Mr Gault would take another step and improve the institute by adding a business department.The boys of Valleyfield, looking (forward to employment in offices and factories, needed a business rather than a professional training, to count quickly, write correctly, and havea knowledge of business forms.Just now many of their youth to acquire such a training had to go to business-colleges in the city.This ought not to be so and the institute should add the necessary branches to itscurriculum.He understood the system of education in this province was especially weak in arithmetic, with the result that our students in McGill were beaten in mathematics by the young men from the Maritime provinces.He thought it was high time the Protestant committee of the council of instruction should swing away from their stereotyped course of study, designed to prepare our youth for the university, and arrange to meet the demand for a business curriculum.In closing Mr Duclos bore personal testimony to the excellent work done by Principal Messenger and his assistant teachers.Rev W.T.Kino said he bad acted as deputy-examiner of the institute and could confirm all that had been said as to the thoroughness of ite work.Mr Gault\u2019s name was a household word among Anglicans, for there was not a parsonage or church erected which did not contain stones, bricks, and boards due to his liberality.He was thankful that God had given Mr Gault the means and heart to do so much good.The scholars, at intervals between the speeches, sang rousing patriotic choruses.Mr Gault now stepped for ward and handed the successful scholars prises as follows : GRADE II, ACADEMY 1 Maggie Morison, the Gault scholar- ef 8100 ole 2 Edith Brown, prize for general proficiency W.Gordon Scott,

farmers\u2019 association, unlike the manufacturers\u2019 association, bas no large fund at its disposal to carry on the work of organization.This myst be undertaken by the farmers of each locality.When the local organizations are formed arrangements can be made with the central association for a serjes of public meetings.Let the farmers throughout the province take up the work, and prove that the oft-repeated statement that they can never act together in their own interests is unfounded.Those interested in the movement, and residing in constituencies which are not yet organized, should communicate atouce with the secretary, W.I.Smith, 26 Adelaide street west, Toronto, with a view of steps being taken to form branches in thelr locality Sun, A PLEDGE SIGNING CRUSADE.Total

pledge- signing crusade, by which it is hoped to vastly increasp thp temperance army.The launching of the movement in the result ol 6 months of planning, study, and preparation.The committee for Great Britain and Canada is headed by the Archbishop of Canterbury.The co-operation of the plergy and the churches will be especially sought.The committee has iesued a circular, in which the following passage occurs: \u201cIt does sem to this committe tbat under the dome of the sky.of God is now striking the hour for his people to open a new and vigopoys campaign against the most colossal evil that curses the country.No time is to be lost.Therefore, in the interests of bumanity and for the honor of the Christian religion, in the name of God, they plead for an uprising and onion of the religious

in gratitude for their strength, are willing to be helpful to their weaker brethren.\u201d\u2019\u2014Globe.THE TORONTO MAIL ON THE DREW CARE.In its issue of Monday, the Mail comments on the punishment of two men, convicted in Toronto of having sworn falsely in order to save themselves, and then goes on to say: Bad as their case is, how does it compare with that of a man who goes into the witness-box to swear away the character of an innocent and respectable fellow-citizen?In a case of this kind, which has just been decided by the Quebec court of appeal, a false witness was sentenced to 2 years in the penitentiary.He sought to invalidate the judgment on the ground that, though there had beenfalse swearing, there had technically been no perjury because the violated oath wasadmin- istered by a court that had no jurisdiction to try the case.The conviction was, however, sustained by a majority of the court of appeal, who took the position that to swear falsely is to commit perjury both morally and legally.Most people will agree that the sanctity of anoath is 80 important to protection of individual rights and the welfare of the community that technical perjury ought not to be distinct and different from real and moral perjury.CANADA Windsor, Ont.Oct.20\u2014Dr Orchard the Dominion veterinary inspector, who has been in Kent county for several weeks fighting the hog cholera plague, reports that the extent and sweep of the plagueare almost inconceivable.Out of 1,200 cases which came under Dr Orchard\u2019s personal notice, he found only 68 which could not be detected as being affected with the disease, as far at least as the naked eye could discern.The department is putting forth every effort to stamp out the plague, and so far between 5,000 and 6,000 hogs have been killed.Montreal Gazette: A scientist has calculated that man is subjected to 1,212 different kinds of diseases.Thefe is no occasion to worry.There are more than that number of patent medicines, which are guaranteed to cure each and every one of these ills and any that may be discovered in the near future, Brantford, Oct.20\u2014At the court here today great interest was manifested in a breach of promise suit.Alice Fitzgerald, of this city, sued Thomas McNamara, a farmer of Norfolk county, for $3,000 for alleged breach of promise.A great deal of evidence was submitted which showed that the defendant had paid attentions to the young lady for the past 9 years, and had offered a proposal of marriage, which she had accepted a little over a year ago.Subsequently differences arose over the wedding ceremony, the plaintiff desiring it according to tbe rites of the Roman Catholic church, of which she isa member, and the defendant, a Protestant, strongly objecting.Miss Fitzgerald alleges that finally she consented to be married by any minister but the defendant refused.This the latter contradicted in his testimony.The case went to the jury, which, after considering it for over two hours, awarded Miss Fitzgerald $300 as damages.Victoria, B.C., Oct.30\u2014The steamer Hyson, of the China Mutual line, which arrived here today, made the fastest puesage around the world from London to Victoria, via the Suez canal, in 94-days.London, Ont, Oct.30\u2014The Ontario entomologists are in annual session here.The greater part of the time today was taken up in the discussion of the pea weeyil, which Dr Fletcher, Dominion entomologist, said was causing a loss of from 4 to f} millions of dollars annually to the farmers of Gutario.Because of the weevil the acreage of peas in the province had in ten years decreased by 70,000 acres, or one third of the total.An effective method of treating thy weevil was exposing sped peas to the fumes of carbon bisulphide.With the exception of Italy, no European country isso heavily taged as Spain, the government imposts driving the people mad.The people of one little district, Candete, determined to pay no more taxes to the government, and when they heard that the tax-collectors were about to visit the place they formed a procession to the publie square, headed hy the mayor, sud there publicly burnt all the tax pe .When the collectors arrived thay weredriven off with sticks and stones.But such lawlesg- ness could not be left unpunished.A week or two later a battalion of cavalry descended suddenly upon the town and arrested every grown man in the plage.They were on]y released upon paying the taxes and the costs of the Proceed oes, besides an in- demuity to the injured tax-gath 5 i antinopte) Nov.8.-3he nego.tiatione between Great Britain and Turkey, with regard to the encronch- ments of Turkish troops on the Hinterland of Aden, have resulted ina satislactory settlement of the matter.The Porte bas modified its note to Great Britain and has ordered the evacuatiogp 8 the Hinterland, which was formerly oocupled by Turkish troops.The Pope's circular note to the royal courts of Europe announcing that he will.issue no more dispensations for marriages among cousins and other near relatives has already resulted in one broken engagement.Archduchess Maria Annunciata of Austria has given Duke Siegfried of Bavaria his dismissal about two weeks after their engagement had been published.London, Oct.80\u2014The Contemporary Review publishes an article by Gen.Botha, in which the writer insists upon the loyalty of the Boer leaders to Great Britain.He expresses regret that the language of some of their continental appeals has been misinterpreted when scanned microscopically in England and reiterates his fervent desire to co-oper- ate with the British government in soothing the effects of the war.Gen.Botha says it is humiliating to have to appeal to foreigners for funds to aid his countrymen, and that he believes if Englishmen realized the pitiable conditionof their vanquieh- ed foes, there would be no need to appeal for help.In conclusion, the writer urges a general and complete amuesty, which he says would remove the most potent cause of estrangement between Britons and Boers.Admiral Beresford, who has just returned to England from a visit to the States, said: If Great Britain and the United States were joined in the interests of universal peace, and if the rest of the world wanted to fight these countries then let the rest of the world look out.In the last fiscal year no fewer than 648,748 immigrants entered the United States, exclusive of those which entered through Canadian ports.In only 2 years has the nom- T been greater,in 1881 and 1882.Two-thirds of them came from Austria Hungary, Italy, and Russia, and were of the non-agricultural class.With such an influx of cheap labor continued it will become more and more difficult to maintain the present standard of wages.BORN At Howick, on Nov.3rd, the wile of John Slater, jr., of a daughter.MARRIED At Holyoke, Mass., Qctober 16th, at the residence of Frank M.Cooley, 205 Locust-st., by the Rev
