[" \u2018 Cmadian Gleaner Huwrmeoson, Q., Jan.13, 1906, NOTES OF THR WEEK The newly clocted parliament met at Ottawa yesterday.lts first busi- 2008 was the choosing of a speaker, when Mr Sutherland, an Ontario member, had the honor conferred upon him, with Charles Marcil as his deputy.Today the governor-general will formally open the session.Ata caucus of Conservative members Mr Borden was requested to continue as \u201c Leader, à seat being promised him in * Ontario.It is probable he will consent.Until he can take his place Mr Foster will lead the opposition.The certified atatement of their agents, that the lateelection between Ames and Lyall in Montreal cost them each nearly $8,000, points to a condition of affairs that needs reform.Whether the remedy be making canvassing illegal or compulsory voting it must come.The French papers continue to give much of their space to rumors about dissensions in Parent\u2019scabinet.That there is a good deal of intriguing going on to get office is undoubted,and back of it are schemers who want subsidies for their projects.The Hon Mr Weir has been trying to bolster the application for an increase in the federal subaidy.Does it not strike him, that if that subsidy were withdrawn totally and the provinces thrown on their own resources, there would be less federal interference in provincial politics and the provinces would live more economically than they are doing ?Cheese has been looking up during the past month and 11cisnow being paid for finest.Considering the loss in weight from shrinkage and cost of keeping in cold storage those who held for a rise are not making much.Creamery butféer is sought after.- Judging by the reduced make in this county it is likely to be scarce before March.At 21%c per Ib.there is no encouragement to farmers to feed in order to supply creameries during the winter.Pork has become firmer, with an active demand.The old prices need not, however, be looked for, The United States reaped the largest crop of corn last fall in its history and hog-raising is going on .at an unprecedented rate.The desire of the Minnesota millers to get Canadian No 1 hard to mix with the poor wheat of their own market has been met by the Washington authorities authorizing them to import in bond where the flour is ground for export.Many farmers throughout the northwestern States having no wheat of their own fit for seed, are demanding that they be permitted | to buy Canadian free of duty.The fall of Port Arthur has, of course, disposed the Russian people more towards peace, and, despite _ much vaporing by the bureaucrats, gl .Daa a Ta there ie a possibility of negotiations being opened.It is still: unknown what the Baltic fleet will do.At fiest it was said it would be recalled but later indications are that it will try and go to Viadivostok.ORMSTOWN Municipal elections passed quietly, no poil being required.For the village Thomas Baird and James À.MeBean were re-clected and Joseph McWhinnie in place of David Cham- _ Vers, who declined serving again.Por the parish, Wm.Lindsay reelected and Dosithe Beauchamp in place of Oliver Bergivine and Hugh Craig in place of Wm.Carmichael, On account of the heavy roads the NalleySekd-rockey club failed to put bere Vaturday to play the locals 6 scbeduled game.Tp play for the gov- emaor-geuerals prise asd jubilee trophy takes place next week, 10th and 20th, whea rinks from Valley flclf-and Hagtioh river will compete ° smith the locals, Sw nes the election of conncillors to the two vacant seats, as the temperance electors weve determined to return 2 members favorable to the prohibition of lquor Lecenses.Bvery precaution was taken to avoid de- foat, and candidates known to be against license were promptly now- inated in the presence ofabout 40 determined temperance men.Altho it \u2018was rumoged and expected that men favorable to license would be brought forward by those interested, they took no action in the matter, due no doubt to the bold temperance front presented, and the 3 temperance candidates, James Angell and Thomas T.Gebbie, weve declared elected.The temperance community feel assured that, whatever the decision in reference to the bylaw voted on last February, no licenses willbe granted by the present councillors, as they will avail themselves of the privilege the municipal code gives them.of granting no licenses if the majority of councillors so desire.Owing to the shortness of the potato crop last season potatoes are being imported, and are offered for sale at from 75 to 90cts for a bag of 90 pounds.\u2019 Good winter roads so far have facilitated hauling, and wood is coming in in abundance at $4 for beech and $5 for maple.Coalis$7 per ton.STE MARTINE At the elections on Monday Theodore Brault was re-clected, Moise Dubuc chosen in place of J.Bte.Giroux, and Vital Brault in place of Thomas Greig.To-day (Wednesday) the Judge, H.C.St Pierre, rendered his judgment in the case of Treffle Hebert vs.the corporation of Tres St Sacrement, about the by-law prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquor within the limits of the parish.As the judgment is elaborate I cannot give it in detail, but the substance is, that the by-law was irregularly voted and is null and void for many reasons, among them that it should have been published in two newspapers of the district, in French and English, giving the names of all the petitioners, in order to ascertain if they were all ratepayers having a right to vote; the notices posted were not legally given, and thcre were a few other irregularities.The court adjourned to the 1st February.CHATEAUGUAY Narcisse Laberge lost a valuable horse Thursday afternoon.Laberge was at the freight shed when the horse took fright and tore down the road to the river.Laberge lost complete control of it and jumped from the sleigh.The horse crossed the river, turned into the station yard and making for the railway track, continued its mad race, dragging the cutter behind until near the StJobn's bridge, Where it was met and killed instautly by the 4 o'clock local passenger train running from Valley- field to Montreal.- On Monday the following new councillors were appointed: Stanislas Reid for the French people, Bennie Gilmore for the English, and Mr Mercier for Woodlands.Quite à scare was experienced in the upper village about 9 o'clock Saturday night, when the wind was blowing a gale from the west, the Catholic church bells sounded the fire alarm.Householders rushed to the road to discover it was only a bad chimney fire which was quickly extinguished.VALLEYPFIELD A much nceded improvement has been effected to the eastlock gates of thecanal.The foot walk has been fenced in, which will prevent many accidents.We would recommend the closing up of the gap at the west end of waste weir bridge, which is also a dangerous spot.The glection of officers of the 8¢ Jean Baptiste society took place last week, Dr C.0.Ostiguy was elected president, N.Cote, vice-president, E.Poirier, secy., and I.Laberge, trenar.The society, which numbers over 400 members, paid out last year nearly a thousand dollars in sick benefits and nearly double that amount in death claims.It bas a basdsowme balance in the tresoury and its debt os St Jean Baptiste park, which bas tost the society about 98,000, is nearly cleared off.A vote of thanks wae passed in favor of Dr Lefebvre, the retiring president, to whose of forte the society is in sush favorable The store lately cecupied by Wm.fnaucial circunsitaness.Gale has been baught by our enter-| A

was shining brilliantly and the southern sky was very dark,s heavy mow storm undoubtedly prevailing.This was supplemented by a light fall of rain from the morth.The magnificent panorama was observed by a large number of people.The an cients of this locality are varied in their solutions of what the winter rainhow predicted.Beveral said it was war, others a late spring, others a bad crop.The first match of the Quebec south west hockey league was played on Valleyfield ice Friday evening between Huntingdon and Valleyfield.The former won by a score of 3 to 2.The delay in the start,owing to lateness of the train and the storm that prevailed, resulted in a poor attendance.This was unfortunate, for the game was onc of the best that has been played here for years.As the corporation seems to be still disposed to keep the dam road in an impassable condition, it should, at least, put up a few panels of snow fence and give the people, who are compelled to trudge out at 5.30 in misery caused by its pusilanimous stupidity.The Bergeron banquet was held Saturday night in Langevin\u2019s hall, and was attended by about 200.Besides the guest of the evening the table of honor was occupied by Mr A.Plante, president, mayor Thibeault L.À.Wilson, F.D.Monk, M.P., D.McCormick, K.C., C.Casgrain, Col.Labelle, J.G.Laurendeau, K.C., A.Bonin, mayor of the parish, and Jno.Sullivan.The following toasts were duly honored : The King, A.Plante; federal government, Mr Monk; provincial government, L.A.Wilson; city of Valleyfield, Mayor Thibeault; our guest, Mr Bergeron; the press, Arthur Sauvé; theladies, Mr Chapais; The \u201cmenu\u201d was a credit to Mr Patenaude of the Larocque house.The music was supplied by the Belle.rive orchestra.Thehall wasfittingly decorated.A large number of ladies were present, who helped to tone up the proceedings.The banquet closed at 11.30 p.m.with thesinging of the naticnal anthem.Mr Bergeron, in reply to the toast of his health, which was honored with great enthusiasm, took occasion to deplore the excessive amount of ill-timed party feeling in the province of Quebec.On broad lines of policy there was, after all, very little difference between the parties.On the.tariff the basic principle at the present day was the same.The present government had sent troops to fight the battles of the empire in South Africa.He believed that had been quite right.Canada had the protection of the British flag, and when that flag was threatened, Canada should, especially when she was not obliged to doit, send the young men who desired te ga forth, to defend that flag.What a storm would have arisen had Sir Charles Tupper or any other English-speak- ing Conservative premier been at the head of the government | The member for Beauharnois had been in favor of sending aid when the flag of the empire was assailed, and he still adhered to that opinion, but how lucky it was that 8 French premier was at the helm, He said he did not fear words, and he preferred a mitigated Imperialism to annexation in disguise, when the people of Canada would be the slaves commercially of the United States.It was a sad sight to see the premier of Canada coming down to Quebec to settle the disputes of the provincial government.Such things would lead some time to a repeal of the autonomy of the provines.The party at present in power wasnot the only one to blame for such a state of affaire.It had existed, at least to pome extent, under previous administrations.In the province today there was too much of government by groups, by factions.The experiment of keeping open the channel above the city of Quebec by means of the new ice-breaker, named the Montcalm, promises well, for on Friday tbe Montcalm was confronted with what appeared tobs the almost task of ice was 9 feet thick and ice jams piled upon that to à height of 16 feet, all frosen into a compact mass, The .\u201cPRESBYTERIAN \"CENTURY MEMORIAL CHURCH, AT ST.LOUIS DE GONZAGUE.x Built in 1900\u2014Destroyed by fire January 6, 1905 8r LOUIS pe GONZAGUE A great calamity has befallen the Protestants of this parish in the destruction by fire of their beautiful new church.On Friday afternoon Mr James Goodall went to it to put a fire in the furnace, preparatory for a meeting to be held in the evening.He did so, and left, everything apparently as it had been on doing the same duty scores of times before.On returning a couple of hours later to replenish the fuel, on opening the door he found, to his astonishment, the interior filled with smoke, so dense that he dave not enter.The access of fresh air caused the flames to burst forth.There being no ap- pliauces in the village for subduing fire, the flames had it their own way, and continued to blaze until everything consumable was burned.The church had been in use only four years.The corner-stone was laid by Mr Bickerdike, M.P., in July, 1900, and the church was dedicated and formally opened for worship on the last Sunday of that year.It wasa neat building, brick with stone foundation, and with a most comfortable and thoroughly up-to-date interior, which seated 200.It was built through the sacrificing zeal of the congregation, for, few in number, they had to subscribe liberally.With furnishings and improvements made from time to time the cost rose to about $5000, There is $3000 ip- surance\u2014the North British and Mercantile has $1500 on the structure and the Mutual $1500 on the pews, fittings, organ, &, The loss being total, the full amount will be paid, Itis hoped the walls may be available to someYextent, at least, in rebuilding.That the other Presbyterian congregations in the district will assist in restoring the church is probable.In the meanwhile the congregation will be inconvenienced for a place of meeting, but difficulties will be overcome by the energy of the pastor, Rev F.8, McCusker, There is no doubt as to the fire originating from the overheating of a flue, caused, possibly, by the high wind that prevailed.HEMMINGFQRD On the morning of Saturday, Jan.7, Oliver Hebert, the engineer on the G.T.R.from Hemmingford, received the signal from the hrakeman, John L.Blair, to back his engine out of the engine-house, and connect with the passenger coaches which were on tha siding, about 12 feet frons.the engine-house.He did.se, but thinking, from the light impact, thet the coupling was not completed, and not bearing anything from Blair, be investigated, and found the lifeless body of Blair between the tracks, partly under the tender and partly under the coach.Ap.arently the body had been caught tween the buffers, and had been the cause of the light impast.The coupling had been automatically completed, and a slight relaxation of the kauckjes bad allowed the life- lave body to drop out, Dr Cloystou was votifed and og Monday pro.moded to bold aa ipquest, with P.8, Proper as foreman and the jurors: Rev W.Boshart, 8.Houghton, G.W.Keddy, E.Y.Kenaey, Don.Ryan, Robert Fernë, Michael Ryan, John Rutherford, 8.J, Dunlop, W.H, and Dr J.A, Baird, the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts, and not imputing blame to anyone.Three of the jury, however, made a minority report censuring the G.T.R.for leaving the cars so near the engine-house.The elections were a tame affair; all the retiring members, viz: James Fisher, Joseph Poupart, and Joseph McKirryher for the township, and John F.Scriver, W.J.Cleland, and E.Houghton for the village being returned by acclamation.FRANKLIN CENTRE A supper was held in the basement of the Methodist church for the Sunday school scholars and friends on the 28th; over 50 were present and seemed to enjoy themselves.Mr Black, a student of Montreal, has occupied the pulpit of the Congregational church the past few Sundays.A social was held at the home of D.N.Parham.A bountiful supper was served and a short program given, One and all seemed to enjoy the treat of meeting Mr Black and spending a social time.Proceeds \"over $20, The talk of the township is the appearance of A.V, Drew.It appears he has had his sentence qut short and released from St Vincent de Paul penitentiary by an order-in-council.HERDMAN The election of municipal councillors for the township of Hinchinbrook was held on the 9th inst., and passed off quietly.The retiring coun.dillors refusing re-clection, the following were clected in their.stead without opposition; Peter Tully, Joseph Gowan, and Lorenzo Mc- Clatchie, jr.« The creamery here closed for the scason on the Sth, having been in operation exactly @ months, under the management of Albert Travisce.It had on the whole, notwithstanding the low price of butter, a sue- cessful year, _ In the death of John Anderson, which took place on the 6th inst., Hinchinbrook loses another of its oldest inhabitants, Although by np means one of the oldest settlers, yet he had lived on the farm where his death occurred for about 65 years, Coming from Scotland while à young maa he worked for à time in northern New York, after which he haught his fart on the 3d concession of Hinchin- brook, then almost in a state of nature, In locating where he did be \u2018made the mistake of many others at that time, in choosing therough and rocky high land in preference to the more fertile clay which lay a short djstançe ta the north.Many hard years af toll were spent in making his place fit ta yisld anything like a comfortable living.However, being of unusual sturdy and healthy physique, Mr Anderson, by industry and frugality, gradually improved his circumstances, and for the last 16 years of bis life was in à position to spend bis days free from care and Mr Anderson pervod as cergeant in the company of rifles which was formed under the captainçy of James McWilliams and was later presented with a medal, which be highly prised.LACET of te i municipal cous- \u2018ciflors Monday the retiring councillors P.W.Leahy, Wis.D.Campbell,

writer states 10,000 horses are trained for the track, about 75 million dollars invested in horse-racing, with fully 50,000 people directly interested in making money out of the business.The pretence, that horse-racing has for its object the improving of the breed of horses, is proved to be hollow by two facta, that racing horses are trained for speed in short spurts at the expense of their staying- powers and the abuse of 2-year-olds.If the improvement of horses depended upon the racetrack, we would soon have 8 run-down breed, weak, and deformed, and short-lived.Horse- racing rests on gambling and on how the gamblers work their various devices, the article describes in detail, \u201cWithout gambling,\" says the writer \u201cthere would not be a race-track or a racing-stahle in the country,\u201d How widespread the gambling-spirit has kecome is described; how, through poolrooms and book-mak- ers men, women, and even children are reached, and induced to bet on races taking place hundreda of «iles away from them.The Belmonts, Keenes, and other rich men who pnt» ronize the turf for its excitement and Irvington, come in for just characterization.Among the other contents of the number, of which fiction forms the larger part, is a paper on the siege of Scbastapol, contrasting it with the siege of Port Arthur.It is sad reading to British sulijects, far it recalls the imbecilitigs, the ingapacities, the self-indulgencies af the officers wha misled and sacrificed the heave fellows who canstituted the rank.and.file, ELGIN COUNCIL Met on 9d inst; members all present,

Gen.Nogi and General ftoesse] at Plumtree cottage, which preceded the marching out of the Russian forçes from Port Arthur,had nothing epectacular about it, but it it was in many ways interesting, Gen, Stoessel, thru a mistake, ar rived an hour and a half ahcad of the time set for the meeting, He rode an Arah and was accompanied by 3 officers and a small cacort of Cos- sacks.The licutenant commanding the Japancse guard at the cottage immediately sent for Gen.Nogi.Meanwhile the Russians, who were \u2018in full uniform, sat on horseback, chatting cheerfully.Gen.Stoesacl's heavy face showed traces of strain andanziety.Within half an hour Gen.Nagi, escorted by 3 troopers, arrived and the rival commanders set eyes on each other for the first time after § months\u2019 incessant conflict.Both raised their bands in ceremonious salute, Each seemed to doubt whether the other intended to shake hands.Gen Nagi dismounted and Gen.Stoesssl followed.They walked into the cottage side by side, chatting easily and nat noticing a fatigue party close by, that was extricating corpses from the adjacent wreckage for interment.Their interview was, of course, private, but it is known that it was cordial.Tir Gunecial sagt for yor # with Gen.Nog on the loss of his 2 honor to the Japanese.Gen.Nogi replied that that they were not lost, as they had sacrificed themasives to the welfare of their fatherland.Alter A 2hours\u2019 conference, during which they lunched, the gencrals cmerged together.Gen.Nogi admired Gen.Stoesncl\u2019s horse, patting his neck and remarking upon his beautiful pre- portions.Gen.Stoessel asked the Japanese commander to accept the animal as a gift, Gen.Nogi thanked him, but pointed out that he coukd not accept the horse personally as it came within the section of the capitulation relating to the surrender of military material, but he said be would gratefully accept on behalf of the Japanese army, promising that it would be treated with the greatest care and would be treasured as a proud possession.Gen.Stoessel then bade farewell to the horse, shook hands cordially with General Nogi, charger, on which he galloped back to Port Arthur.; Che Foo, Jany 6\u2014Baron Kleist of the Russian navy, speaking to a correspondent this morning anid: \u2018Gen, cember 24, when he received a despatch from the Czar telling of the north sea affair and of the delay in the progress of the Baltic fleet, mentioning the last day of Feby as the time of its possible arrival and releaning Stoessel from his promise to hold the fortress by suggesting that he act according to his own judgment concerning surrender.Early in November Stoessel had telegraphed the Czar that it would be impossible to hold out later than the end of that month, and the Czar had replied announcing the departure of jthe Baltic fleet, urging the general to hold out at all costs and suggesting that relief was probable about the middle of December.All the Czar's messages received subsequently, with the exception of the one of December 24, were hopeful of relief and urged the utmost resistance.Kuropatkin's messages concurred in this view.Doubtless scarcity of ammunition and big gune were the main factors in inducing Stoessel to propose surrender, otherwise he would have fought on.While the Japanese shell fire against the town was very inaccurate, their shells ultimately found the forts with uncrring precision.I counted 108 out of 165 fired at Sunshushan fort which burst over men and guns, exterminating an entire gun crew.Early in the siege the ranks of artillerymen were so depleted that it was necessary toassign infantrymen to the guns.The first general order ition was issued early in September.After that time the greatest economy prevailed, the artillerymen never firing unless the adjustment was perfect.The men regarded service in the forts as certain death.Many of the garrison died from hemorrhages caused by the concussion of the big guns.The blood burst from their eyes, moiths, and nostrils.During the last 3 months the garrison al most to a man was not sanguine of relief.The officers frequently urged Stoessel to surrender.He laughed at their fears, rudely rebuking them for unsoldierly conduct.Finally they became moreautomatons, apparently without intelligence, except to fight, eat, and sleep.Death made no impression on the living no matter in how frightful a form it came and the dying ultimately welcomed it, Baron Kleist confirms the previous statements made in the cables concerning the wretched condition of the hospitals.He says that hundreds of men died from lack of attention, but also says this was ua avoidable as the surgeons were few.Port Arthur, January 6\u2014The first part of the Russian garrison, 5000 strong, was marched out today to take shipping for Japan.The long procession of the remnants of the gallant Russian garrison: was, a pathetic spectacle.The first arrivals were 4 droskies drawn by sorry staff officers who had refused to give their parle.A few minutes later the first detachment arrived.The segi- mental officers marched with their men, their beads bowed and their faces seamed with lines, showing the result of the mental and physieal strain they had undergone, durliig the long defence.Ae the Japanese soldiers crowded about them with evident curiosity the faces of the Russian oficers

officers, indicated the awful physical straip undergone.The officers were clean and well clothed, but the men were clad in disty looking sheepskin coats and appeared to be resigned, and glad that the end bad come.The horses drawing the transport carts were suffering from fatigue, though the loads were amall.In the procession were many lean looking pet dogs belonging to the officers.The prisoners

express great admiration for General Fock and other officers for refusing parole, and standing by the men of their army, are busily preparing to receive the Russian prisoners from Port Arthur.The

Russian prisoners awaiting shipment great freedom.They are permitted to walk about unaccompanied and to visit neighboring villages.ON THE SHAKHE A correspondent writing from the Russian camp ascribes the inaction to the fact that both armies are so strongly posted that neither is willing to incur the sacrifice that would be entailed by an assault.The only movement that would belikely to be successful is a flank one, and neither army sufficiently predominates to be able to carry it out.Russian intelligence officers say the armies are about equal, but the writer estimates that the Russians are several thousands the stronger.When the writer left the Russians had 1,087 guns.The private soldiers are sick of the war and are always asking when it willend.The army trusts more to numiRrs than to quality.Itsar- tillery is of the best.The infantry and cavalry officers are behind the times.\u201d They have little initiative and follow the text books literally.The news of the fall of Port Arthur was received first from the Japanese, who let loose numerous paper kites bearing letters and triumphal inscriptions.These kites were picked up by Russian soldiers who received the announcement doggedly, regret being expressed that the troops had been unable to relieve the garrison.8t Petersburg, Jany.11\u2014News of renewed fighting on the Shakhe river is expected any day.The

against Principal Boulden of St Alban\u2019s school, Brock- ville, brought in a verdict on Saturday evening.Young Dunlop was expelled from the school on the ground that he had broken orders by drinking in a bar at Ottawa aftera Hockey match.It was claimed by the plaintiff that the boy's expulsion was not justified, and the father claimed damages as tutor to his son, The defence pleaded that the expak, sion was necessary in order to maintain the discipline of the school and asan example to the other boys, Judge Curran, in charging the jury, condemned the action of the boy in drinking, and upheld the action of the principal, remarking that if he had to dispose of the case he would dismiss it.The judge declared that the principal would have saved himself all trouble by sending a full story of the affair to the boy's father by registered lotter.The jury, after some deliberation, found that the plaintiffs son had broken the rules, but held that the principal was mot justified in expelling him from the ééhiool, The wholesale price of sugar today is 80 per cent.higher than it was at the end of 1009.- This means that manufacturers of beet sugar are getting a little above one-third more for their output than they were at this time last year.There is no reason why they should not be satisfied, at all events.But bow about | the consumer of sugar?The sugar user is paying $1.40 per cwt.more today than be was 12 mooths sigee, Il the same basis in values continue throughout the present year, the cost of the sugar need by the people in 1905 will be $5,000,000 greater , than it wae ia 1004.If sugar from Cuba were imported into this country free of duty, Canadign coneum- es would saw enongl - ie lower prices to buy eut every sage rebaury VS oy - in Canada and pat the employe of same on a permanent pension.\u2014 Weekly San, Taronto.At the dairymen's convention at Beockville the Hoa Syduey Fisher paid a high compliment to Professor Robertson, the retiring Dominion commissioner of dairying, aad towards the close of his address made the announcement that be had appointed Prof.J.A.Ruddick, chief of the dairy division of Ottawa, to succeed Prof.Robertson.The announcement of Prof.Ruddick's promotion was hailed with great delight by the 700 or 800 present.Montreal, and the Dominion also, have a new difficulty in the arrival of Russians flying from draft.So far they are mostly young Jews, but there is a sprinkling of Christians.Their flocking to Canada is largely due to a Jewish paper in St Peters- burg, which circulates widely among thé Russian Jews, Whohave a child's faith in printed matter.Every issue for months past has been replete with glowing asticles on Canada as the land of freedom, where all men are alike to thelaw, and where there in plenty of work at good wages.Instinctively they have come to look to the Dominion as the haven whither they would fly,and here they are, coming in increasing numbers, all \u2018broke\u2019 and all eager for work.1t is said by some of the more intelligent Russian exiles that these articles are inspired and paid for by the steamship companies, who inake their profits out of shipping them to Canada.It-is apparently, a simple matter for a man witha little money to get away, even though in the army.A few roubles, from $10 to $50, suffice.Thereareregularagents who take the money, bribe the frontier guards, and see their clients across the line into Prussia, or the nearest contiguous state.The fleeing men get to the boundary, and when hailed and asked where they go, answer, \u201cto America.\u201d That is the magic password.If they fail they may be shot, but if they have the price they can bribe the guards.All interviewed in Montreal tell how they had bribed officers great and small, spent their life savings to get away from their war-ridden, sternly-governed land, and had landed in the pure air of Canada without akopeck to bless themselves, and they were all certain that hundreds more.were coming to enjoy the blessings they had discovered.As to what was to become of them they smilingly admitted they did not know.But in Canadait would be all right soon, and they would.earn money to bring out their wives and families.The sad part of it was that in certain cases the fathers of the deserters were held responsible for their sons\u2019 escape, and fined as much as 200 roubles, a vast sum for a Russian peasant, They hoped to.earn the money and send it back, but, free from the Czar and out of the shadow of the murderous war, they must be at all hazards.Thomas Coffee, proprietor of the International hotel at St Thomas, Ont., myst pay Mrs Jeanie Middleton $100 damages, because he sold her husband, Wm, Middleton, liquor after having received natice from the license inspector not to do so, thereby causing him to losehis job.Judge Meredith tried the case at StThomas and delivered judgment a few days ago.The eagerness of municipalities to bonus indistries bas naturally produced a class of dishonest men who prey upon the desire of the ratepayers to part with their money.There have been numerous cases in recent years of alleged industries being bonused which failed to prove industrious, and either did not realize expectations as to their importance or else ignominiously failed when a respectable time had- elapsed after pocketing the cash.Some municipalities then adopted the preggution of paying bonuses in instalments according to the value of the pro.dycts manufactured and sold, Rut a man who got 410,000 out of the village of Port Calhorne, Ont, is now in jail, charged with getting an instalment under false .It was shown at the prel minary bearing that he had shipped hoxes of scrap iron and brass filings to fictitious customers as brass castings \"and then swore that he had earned thebonue.The day of the money bonus with cities ispast, but in\u2019 gore rural localities they cling to it with the fasgination that makes the gold brigkirrssistible.An order in council has besn passed at Ottawa bringing into effect new regulations in to the importation of intosioating lquors into the Yukon.Ale, porter, beer, and Inger beer

believed to exceed all the records.New York, Jany 5\u2014After 9 days of sailing in close company across the Atlantic ocean, the steamers Graf Waldersee,of the Hamburg-American line, and Cassel, of the North German Lloyd line, arrived here today with the Graf Waldersee leading by but 2 hours.The 2 ships came out of the English channel, December 26, in company, and during the entire passage were never more than 5 miles apart.First one and then the other would take the lead until they had changed positions half a dozen times.Part of the time they steamed side by side with the passengers shouting messages across by megaphone.The Cassel was in the lead on Tuesday night when the blizzard struck the 2 ships and both reduced their speed.During the gale of that night and the following morning the Graf Waldersee .crept ahead and reached Sandy Hook bare 2 hours before the Cassel did.The ships docked not more than half an hour apart.Captain A.Kreech, of the Graf Waldersee, said thatin the 38 years of his sea service he had never seen or heard of so remarkable a contest.\u2018You hear of ocean liners steaming side by sidefor a few hours and being in sight of each other for perhaps 2 days,! said the captain, \u2018but a race of this kind, where two big boats pass cach other 4 times on the way across and are for ten days within signalling distance, is, I believe, absolutely unprecedented.\u201d An appeal has been made by the Pope thru Monsignor Falconio, papal delegate at Washington, far financial aid from the Catholics of the United States.This is the first time such an

and would watch any attempt to introduce Canadian cattle, Mr O'Brien said he fully recognized the ruinous consequences to Ireland in the rumored removal of restrictions on Canadian cattle.It would be
