MoxncToN, N.B, December 22.\u2014No move of the Government iu connection with the management of the Intercolonial Railway Nas been more popular in the Maritime Provinces than the Lransier of the weberal mansgewent to Moncton, and it the fuil wors of a general manager are given Lo Mr.Pottinger itis felt hers that the result will be productive of much good to the business of the road and the interests of the country generally.Mr.Vau Horne\u2019s statement in the STAR to the effect that the acquisition ef the J.C.by the C.P.R., must precede any movement by the lalter company inthe direction of putting on a line of fast Atlantic steamers, has been extensively quoted by the Maritime Pe and excites unusual interest.had the effect of great ly Ee cihoning the agitation against Government abandonment oi the A STAR ecurrespoudent is assured that no proposition for ihe awalgamation of the two interests will be laid belore Parliament just now at any rate, lor Lhe simple reason Lhat pine-tenths of the business men of New Brunswick and Nava Scotia would be opposed to C.P.R.control of the Inter.colunial.A prowinent Conservative, who is in a position to judge of the intentions of the Government, injorms & STAR corres- ponent that C.P.R.control ol the 1.C.R.is impossible with the Slaritime representation as at present constituted in Lhe the stuek of the C.P.R and control the tes- lendant had refused to \u2018ii his orders, and tiny oi Canada.If his views did not change ho would oppose Lhe transfer.No doubt much of what is snid against the C.P.R.is the result of prejudice; but if the Government would like to meet a Maritime blizzard it has oaly tw listen to and entertain Mr.Van Horne's advances.BLAINE RESTED COMFORTABLY.{SPECIAL TO THE STAR.) WASHING: ON, December 22,-Mr, Blaine is reported as having rested comtortavly throupuout the night, and his condition Lu day remalos unchanged.The mystery surrounding the nature of \u201cMr, Blaine's disease nus oot lilted.His pnysicians refuse to tell what is the matter wilh the statesman.Dr.Johuston said that he had no objection whatever to inlorming the public rogarding Mr.Blaine's disease, ana he admitted the public had à right to Le informed.Mr.Blaine's lamlily, however, bad expressly stipulated that the physicians should ool talk on this matter with any one, and Dr.Johnston thought his first duly was to the family.The reason given by the family to their intimate iriends for not making public the nature of Mr.Rlaine's Gisease is that It would cause a great deal of discussion that would be disagre«able.The physicians are giving Mr.Blaine very little medicine This is evident Irom the fact that since Sunday the only prescription put up for him at Thompson's drug store were written by Dr.Looinis when he made bis brief visit from New York.The opinion has been gaining ground nere steadily that there is something more the matter than Bright's oisease; that while Mr, Blaine isa suflerer from that malsdy, it is not the only trouble.It is admitted now that the ais- ease has made such inronds upon his constitution that hie life hangs by a thread-\u2014-a thread so slight that the end must be near at hand.The statement that he is nu worse, pow sued {or the recovery of 3177 in \u2018cash, as balance due him.Defendant alleged that he hud been periectly willing to carry out his part of the bargain with plaintiff, but that the latlor.had asked him for a certalu kind ol brandy which was not on the price ligt.Nevertheless, defendant had intended to supply this brandy, and would have done 80 alter releasing ir from boud, had be not discovered in the meantime that plaintiff was selling the brandy at cut prices, whereupon he refused to geliver ite The Court held that de- fendaiit hud acted within Lis rights in refusing to supply an article which was not shown upon Lhe price list referred to.Cote 8t.Louis Day School.A crowded audience gathered in the school of the Cote St.Louis Methodist Uhureh on Wednesday evening, to witness Lhe ciusiog exwrcises ol toe day school, previous Lo Christmas vacation.The chair was occupied by Councillor Stuari, Chairman ol Lhe School Board; on the platlorm also were Messrs.Duvey and Waters of the school!

Alfort, who fell a victim to sclence a few vears ao in studying the cattle diseases at Florence Leon Renault had reccived an excellent sducation, and had practised with great ruccess at tho I'aris Bar.As his opin- ?! i he.made Lis.debut.in| fons were liberal he was appointed to a Bocretary-Generalship of Pr ° ecture immediately after the rail of the Empire, and in 1871 was promoted to the Profectahip of the Loiret the cule! city of which is Orleans His administration of this depratmentiwas not only judicious but brilliant.Having repair the disasters ocoasiv by the war he set to work with fndefatigavie industry, and displayed a rare tact ip avolding to identify himself with the polities of any party or faction.HOW THE MONEY WAS EXPENDED.According Lo the statements issued ùy the liquidators of the Panawa Canal Company the amount expended by the compan reached the enormous total ot 1,300, M.Aoblile Monchicourt, the last llquidator, placed under the followlug æenerio heads the sums expended: Fra Preparatory work and organization 175,000 060 Concession and general expouse s.04,000,000 Advertisements, taxes, etc 88, 000, noo Construction, waterial and (rane- ri 166,000,000 .;

Turn Up, & Gas Pipe Mended, and the Street Restored as Before in Two Hours, One of the most marked things in European cities to the American travelier is the frequent evidence of the employmeut of highly skilled lator upon work which would ve done by unskilled labor in this country.A city official of New York said a short time ago that it would be Impossible to ksep the streets of New York in à state o! cleanliness anu repair similar to the boulevards of Paris because o! the expense, wiich the taxpayers would not stand.And he went on to say that, granting the taxpavers were wiling Lo stand the expense, the needed number of skilied laborers could not be found.in\u2019 Paris such things can be done quickly and skilfully, because a large force, an indefinitely large force, of blghly skilled laborers may be hired sum, The result is that even the humblast work is done with an exercise of skill and intelligence which amazes an American.Whaen a sireet or bulidine is to be repaired a great force of trained Iaborers is gathered, the materials for labor come with them, and the work goes forward swiftly, quietly, in au orderly manner, With so liitie muss and fuss that passersby are hardly conscious that anything is doing.\u2018 AN AMERICAN DRINKING a emall bottle at a little table in front of the Café de la Paix one day las! summer saw an illustration of this.As he discovered later on, à gas pipe fuur or live feet below the level of the asphalt, nut far from the\u2019curbing, was in need of repair.Toward 10 o'clock a man with & spade, hammer and a chisel appeared with an assistant, who carried two great baskets, The two laid down their tools, and one ofl them took from ore of the baskets a rope and a number of iron standards sharp at the lower end.Quickly the (nen drove these standards into the asphalt and stretoct.ed the rope around them soihat a square space elxht feel by four was enclosed.\u2018The assistant took from the basket a big placard and leaped it against one of the standards ana went away.The placard was an announcement that the laborers had permission to take up the asphalt ana repair a æas pipe.The other laborer climbed over the rope and marked out upon the asphalt a square six feet Ly two snd a half, jow- ing thie mark, he chiselled through the asphalt, and when he had separated Lhe piece inside the mark he varefully lifted it out apd laid it to one side.Then he tuok his spade and dug up the gravel and other stuff that formed the immediate foundation ol the asphalt.This material he put into one of the baskets.Then he attacked tne earth underneath and soon had his hoie dug to the required depth with the gas pipe exposed.All the dirt he had taken from the hole was in the other basket.if there had been à fine carpet up to the edge of the hole on all sides, it would have been ouly siightly eprinkled With soil and NOT AT ALL INJURED.When he had doue he gathered up his tools and looked impatiently up the street.His face cienred at once and broke into a sinile of greeting as two laborers, armed with tools and a basket appeared.He lott them and went away.They were evidently plumbers and understood their business.For in almost no time at all the pipe was fixed and the plumbers were standing outside the rope looking about them.They did not have long to wait.Tha Jaborer who had dug the hole re-appeared, and they went away.He proceeded with the greatest care, but very swiftly, to put back Lhe eurth snd to ram it down with a ramumer he had brought with him.Just avout the time he began to put back the gravel, a rolier and engine appeared.Anniher laborer climbed over the rope and heiped him with this last work, in which hot tar was used.[bey Iala back lhe piece of asphalt which had been cut out and put aside, and filled in the crack.\u2018Then they pulled up the stakes, aud threw them into one basket and tbe piacard {ntothe other the roller passed overthe place two or three times, and then they all \u2018went away, leaving no dirt, no muss, and only a square line of a slightly different color from the rest of theasphalt to show that anything had been done.The American who was watching all this looked at his watch.It was not quite 12 o'clock.The work had been done in about two hours.The street had not been blockaded.No great and unsightly piles of dirt had been thrown up, the biouses of the laborers were ns cloan when they went away as when they came.\u2018I'he atreet was as perfect as il it had not.been disturbed.A Charge Against the Building Inspector An cnquete ia proceeding in the PoliceCourt in the ase of Plerre Lacroix, building inspector of the city, who is charged with perjury, The complaint was laia hy Louis Riopel, contractor, who alleges that in un action against him, the accused perjured himeeil In swearing that the mortar with which a certain house was built did sot contain a proper proportion of sand and lime and that it wan like mud.Mr.Lacroix contends that it was true.A Seven Minute Service on the Point St.Charles Route.The electric belt line is now in operation both ways.F the service is a twelve minute Three additional cars have been on the Point Bt.Chartes route, givine a seven iNinute service.Acniitional factjities have been added to the lorgng department or a small » ive cars ara on ine line and ; one.\u20ac put | with an open shoe instead of the round shoe which the horees have been wearing in the past.\u2018This latter kind of shoe is to be done away with entirely, and the vlack- smiths are working day and night putting the new shoes on the borses.They wili now be less liable to fall on the streets as the open shoe will prevent alip- ping.Mr.Franklin, superintendent, has adopted a very ingenious device of his own in the shape of a shoe which will make it almost impossible for the hill horses ta tail, and wii!

visita, ohletiy vo editerranean shures.In the fourteenth century it exteaded nil over Europe, and the mortality was fright'ul, fuily 25,000,000 of people having succumbed the scourge, while at the same time in the East 23,000, 000 and in China 13,000,000 perished.In 1656 some 300,000 peopie were carried off in live months by the plague in Naples.London had been visited many times by the disease, when what is known as the \u201cgreat plagues of London\u201d prevalied in 1664, and about one-sixth of the population of the city was carried oft.In Toulon, in 1721, one-third of tbe population perished.Almost the last spopearsnce of the black death in Europe was in 1840 and 1841, in Turkey and Dalmatia.It bas never ap- beared in the United States.Our first ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SCOURGE dates from its prevalence in Egypt from 1833 to 1845, where it was studied by European p.aysiolans as carefully as could be done with the restrietad pathological teachings o! thal.time.Since then there have been outbreaks in Irak on the Euphrates in 1867 and in 1873, In 1876 at Bagdad, in 1877 st other points on the Tigris, and again in 1884 in the same parts of Mesopotamia.In 1878 Europe was thrown into a panic by the appearance o! the plazus on the banks of the Volga, but 1t was mild in character, and died out spontaneously in 8 short time.The various governments sent commissions to the spot to study and report upon the disorder, but it nad quite disappeared when the commissioners arrived, and con uent- ly our acientitic knowledge of the disorder was not increased.We know it to be the most fatal of ail epidemic diseases.The murtality varies from 80 to 90 per cent.of those atiacked, and occasionally every person affected dies, Not only human beings suffer, but rats, cata, dogs, eatlle, and other animuis becume victims to the pestilence.It is unaoultedly an acute infectious disease, caused by some micro organism which Las unusually maiignant prociivities, and which multiplies with enormous rapidity within the body.ath sometimes takes place in a very few hours, Among the symtoms which have contributed to its various designations are enlargement and suppuration of glands and the formation of carbuncies, whence the name \u2018\u2019bubo-piague ;\u201d and hemorrhagic stops anil petechiee under the skin, rendering the body QUITE DARK OR BLACK.whence the origin of the phrase \u201cblack death.\u201d Like the cholera and small-pox apa several other contagious diseases, it heunts the habitation of the Poor, the shift= less, ana the squalid.Modern civilization in Europe, with its improve: sanitation of olties and perfected water supply, has gradually eradicated most of the epidemics that 80 ravaged mevcievsl peoples, but pestilence still lingers among the Orisotals, where everything it demands for its sustenance and perpetuation is furn with prodigal liberality; foul water, decaying food, vile habits, liithy houses, unclean vestments, and streets reeking with garbish and offal.So long as these conditions persist,and unhappily they do persist even under the fostering care of European government having control in these regions, so long wiil the East be & constant menace to the health of civilized mankind.While it is hardly probable that the black death will ever again visit Europe In a form so calamitous as formerly, still conditions might at some time becumie so fav orsbie for the growin and propagation of its gorm that it might cause great havoc in certajn continental cities such as Astrakhan, Constantinople, and the like where sanitation is scarcely known even by name.Aluminium Horseshoes.Aluminium horseshoes are said to have been tried with remarkably successfui re- suits in the ftussian army.According to a note transiated by Capt.F.Lambart from the fnvalide Russe, à few horses In the Finland Dragoons were first chosen and shod with one aluminium shoe and three iron shoes each; the Jortmer being on the fore fuot in some cuses, and on the hind in others, The experiments lasted six weeks, and showed that the am Inated longer and preserved.the foot better than the iron ones.No aluminium shoes broke, and thay were over again for resh-se- ing.The hor moreover, were worked over hard and very stony ground.The moet important fact of al! is that alumiutam horseshoes are only one-third to one-fourth the weight of iron shoes.Thelr coat is ad- mitiedly greater; but, on the other hand, very fittie chareonl is required tn ehosiag, there fe no lors in weight and the value he ine ola metal is the same as that of Oue uuy be found smong lis NAN NS NN LS NANA SIDNEY'S MISTAKE: \u2014 OR, \u2014 The Mystery of Rutledge Hall | CHAPTER XLL\u2014(Conttnued.) Slowly, with the same vacaut sightless guze, the heavy blue eyes moved from the old woman's face to his; and as they rested there, there crept into them a look of recognition which might have been glad but that thers was no strength for gladness, since, in the feeble attempt to raise herself from the fed and put out one thin hand toward him.she swooned and sunk back fainting upon her pillows.But the swoon was of short duration; her nurse had restoratives at baud, and recalled her back to life; and now, as the dim eyes were opened, there was entire éonscious- ness in them, aud she drank eagorly\u2014 almost with avidity\u2014of the cordial \u2018which the old woman held to her lips, ** Raise me a little,\u201d she said faintly, speaking in the attendant's own language; and, when she was propped up on the pillows, she motioned to the woman to move away, and to Stephen to draw nearer the bedside.\u2019 He dia so; and gently laid his hand upon the white thin fingers which rested 50 feebly on the cotton quilt.\u201cYou have come?\u201d she said, in a voice hardly audible even in the quiet room.\u201cYou knew that I would come?\u2019 he answered, bending toward her.\u201cYes,\u201d she whispered, closing her eves for a moment to hide the great tears which welled up in them and rolled down the sunken, colorless cheeks: \u2018you were always g tome.\u201d \u201cIam grieved to find you 80 ill.\" he said compassionately.\u2018 Why did yoù not send to us before?' * Because I thought that the nearness of death would make you pitiful,\u201d she answered, faltering between each word, and raising her eyes to his face with pitiful entreaty, \u2018and now\u2014I almost fear\u2014it is too\u2014late, 1 have no strengih.A \u201cYou do not suffer?\u2019 he asked gent 1 * i Yu No; I have no strength to suffer.\u2019 she answered feebly, \u2018\u2018But\u2014I am\u2014 dying,\" \u2018* Can IT do nothing \u2014is there nothing to be done for you?\u2019 he asked, bendin over her, \u201c Have you had proper - vice?Have you\u2014\u201d He paused, glancing inquiringly around the room.*1 have everything 1 need,\u2019\u2019 she answered, in the same faint halting manner.\u201c1 want nothing butrest, and I shall have that soon; meanwhile 1 must tell you\u2014and it is bard\u20141 am so weak.\" She fell back upon the pillow with closed eyes for a few moments, r thin frail fingers still holding his, her breath coming quickly and unevenly.There was nn oil-lamp burning on a sidetable and a wood-fire smolderin on the hearth; the rouvin was not col but very cheerless, and the shadow of death hung over ii heavily.Suddenly the dim blue eyes' opened again, the white lips parting in an eager question.yu are married?\u201d she asked, LE e » * To Sidney Arnold?\u201d \u201cTo Sidney Arnold,\u201d he answered gravely.* And\u2014and you are bappy?\u201d\u2019 Shehad raised herself from the pillows in her eagerness, and the little thin hands had grasped his arm for support; but she did not wait for the answer.\u2018Yes, you are happy,\u201d sbe went on.\u2018She is so good; bui\u2014does she love you as I loved you?Would she have sinned as I sinned to win your love?She is too cold, too pure for that!\" A little laugh broke from her as she fell back \u2014a laugh horrible in its mockery to hear from those pale lips.Ste- hen Daunt drew back.slightly, Was er mind wandering?\u201cYou did not know .that I loved you,\u201d she went : on \u2018You cared only for her, while 1\u2014ah, Heaven did ever any Woman hate another as I hated her because she stood between me and your love?\u201d ; In utter silence Stephen looked at] he.as she lay panting a asp er blue eyes almost bright again A taie batred of the youug wife he ao dearly loved.** 1 saw that you loved her,\u201d she went on, breathiesnly, and it maddened me.1 loved you-not Jour wealth, not your ftion.\u2014you; and I saw that she stood tween us, and that she\u2014she loved you tuo.although she did not know it herself; and'l let Ler think\u20141 made her think that you loved me, d engaged herself to Frank Greville in a moment of mi , thinking engaged to me.knew\u2014it all; he told me that\u2014in hjs madness\u2014he swore to kill\u2014the man whom | was engaged, and she believed it was you, and she won him over bv a promise to become his wife if\" Her weakness overcame ker; she sunk back, agray ashen shade img over her face.Stephen sat motionless, almost dazed by the sudden light her words Vas it possible that Sidney liad loved bim ail tbe time?In the sudden pas !

BROCK VILLR, December 22.\u2014Hon.Jobn F.Wood made a lengthy speech yesterday at Frankville, after his election was declared by acclamation.He reviewed the state of trade, going at length into the present con- believed, condition of the country.He sidered as a whole, there was no country in the world: where people had less cause to complain than in Canada Every quarter to which one might turn for evidence as to this siatoment confirms iis truth.\u2018Ihe returns show that under the operation o! the present tariff the trade of the country has largely increased, and the signs of prosperity were mantiest 1n every branch of cur trade and commerce, Many young men here now and elsewhere throughout the couulry were lads of seven or eight years old when the tariff was first adopted, so that to many of them, who are voting for the tirst time, and taking that active interest in politics which is highly comuendable, the conaition of things prior to the adoption of this policy, fourteen years ago, is pretly much a matter of history.He reminded that class of voters thal the National Policy adopted by the Conservative party in 1878, and which was so overwhelmingly endursed by the people, was a veritable necessity arising out of the refusal on the part or the United States to lower their high tariff to something like the level of our own low tariff Wali.There Was nothing to stop the flow of their trade into Canada, and we were prohibited from trading with lhem, more especially in the line of manufactured products.Had ac kenzie Guvernment at that time boon cone tinued in office, they would unquestionably have been compelied to follow a like course.It was a matter of self-preservation with Can Mr.Wood then dropped into figures and worked out the fact ti.at although y about lie debt has increased in six years bya $9,000,000 the cost oi carryinæ the debt is less than in 1887 or in 1888.He quoted statistics covering the imports and exports of Canada, its banking and the revenue and expenditure.The total Te venue for the past five months, he a $15,662,770, a8 against $15,038, ST a The corresponding period of last year.The ex- pentditure for that period shows a decrease o! $800,000 as contrasted with last year; the amount lor the past fiw months being $11, - 757,794, as against $12,546,047.The surplus oF revenue over expenditure to date is 3,904,976, ae agalust $2,492,150 durin, the same period iast year.The current year, therelore, sliows an augmentation A surplus to the extent of $1,412,826.He presented those \u201chard, cold incta\u201d to the wrumbiers and the growiers as an answer to some of their abrurd statements as to the condition vf trade in this country.Continuing, the apeaker said: \u201cThe country 18 not sick, and the people are not dis- cunlenied, save in a low well-known chronio cases.Grumblers of this ciass are never satistied witli any condition of things.The spirit of their criticism is uniair, and their eyes are blind to the logic of farts.In their speeches and writings they rarely ate tempt to discuss the details ol trade, but are {ona of indulging in broad igeneralities always of a pessimistic character.Ask one of tho~e doctrinaires What change he would sugxest in our tariff regulations, which would benefit our trade in, say, the article of cheese, and he will ery likely answer that the United States is our natural market.Ask him the same question as to every article which forms a part of our entire exports to Great Britain, and you wiil get the same answer: \u2018The United States is our natural market.That answer in the abstract is altogether misleading, because it is only in the Biates contiguous to our own ovuntry that any considerable trade would be done with the United States, even if no tariff exis , He thougnt the United States would legislate in wnat she belisved to be to her own interests, and not in ours.he cares not what party is in power in this country so iar as the legisiation oi her own country was concerned.Fr.gave statistics regarding our trade with Englund, and saw no reason why this trade could pot be aug- men He deiieved in the continuance of our present relations with the Empire, as within those relations there was no limit to our expansion and growth He expressed his unvounded confidence in Canada\u2019s future, and concluved his speech with a eulugy of Sir John Thompeon, the present, and Bir John Abbott, the ex-Premier.r.Reid, ML P.for Grenville, spoke next dealing with the annexation movement, Mr, Wallace's Speech.ISPRCIAL TO THE STAR.! WESTON, Ont, December 22, \u2014Nomina- tions for the West York constituency were held at Weston yesterday in the Town Hall.Mr.Donatd McKenzie, returning officer, presided.The proceesitings opened prompt- iy at 12 v\u2019elock, the customary two hours being allowed to pass vefure nominations wereciosed.In this time, Mr.George Jackson, agent tor Mr.N.Clarke Wallace, handed in nomination papers tor the Conservative candidate.At two o'clock no other name had veen banded in, and the chairman deciared Mr.N.C.Wallace elected to the House of Commons.Mr.Wallace, in adiressing the electors said: \u201c\u2018]1 have accep the office of Comptroller of Customs, and now | have come to the people of West York to ask for your approval of my action.Some | eople object to Sir John Thompson as Premier of Canada, not op account of his integrity or devotion tothe country and party, but because he is a Roman Catholiz.Ido not consider that that makes any difference at ail.There Is nothing to prevent a Roman Catholic from being the Premier.But, again, it is said that am an Urapgeman.and cannot obtly take part in a Government preafed over by a Roman Catholic.I have an Orangeman ior almost a quarter and I consider that | ore in »ccord with the prin olples of the Order than ever b-fure.1 have been elevated to the highest position in the gift of Orangemen throughout the world.And yet the advancements I have received have aiways been unnolicite od.If Urangemen were 80 bigoted as peuple say l ought be, I tor one would not ne a member oi the order.But the principies of the society do not callfor any such a posi- on.The remalnder of Mr.Wallace's speech dealt with the trade question.He said had been said that the Conservative party was opposed to commeroial re- ciproeity.This was not so.but they desired to have it upon !air and equitable terms.They were never preparea Lo give up their rignts as Britisn citizens;

December 21.-Ever since a race for the America\u2019s Cup has become an assured fact a report has been in circulation that C Oliver iselin, the former owner of the crack sloop \u2018Titania\u2019\u201d would surely build a cup defender.The report !s not true.A reporter called oun Mr, Iselin at his beautitul home at Davenport Neck, on the shores of Loog Island Sound, last evening, and asked him if there was apy truth in tbe report that be would build a yacht to defend the Awerion\u2019s Cup.He said: \u201cNo, there is abe lutely no truth in that story.1 have no iutention of building any such boat.One buat is now beinæ bullt by a eyndicate of New York yachtsmen, headed by Mr, Archibald Rogers, and I think the cup wiii be safe in thelr hands, sitce the Herresbofls are to build the boat.The Herreshoffs are without doutt the leading yucht desixners in this country, and they will undoubtedly Turn out a boat fast enough to keep Lhe cup, so I {all to ere the necessity of another bout.A cup defender would probably cost about 375,000, which Wouid make it rather au ex- penslve plaything tor one season.\u201d When asked if he aid not intend to build a yacht next year, even if he was not represented in the cup contest, he said that be did not know, that he had not thought anything about the matter yet.There seems to be littie doubt but that a Boston boat will be built, but who will build it is not known yet.At the presenl Lime the Bryant Brothers seem to have the call and it is extremely probavie that they will be represented in the trial races.There has been some littie talk about a second syn- dicute boat in New York, but so far pothing has come of it.It came about this way: Belore the Rogers boat was talked of a weil- known member of the New York Yacht Club said he would be one of five men to contribute $10,000 toward a cup defender.Here the maiter seams Lo have end Àt looke NOW ae thouxh the boat the Har- reshoffs were building for Royal Pheips Carroll Would go avroad this spring, as her owner originally intended.Two suits of salls, one jor racing and one for her passage across, are being made, and a small main boom and gaff are also on hand.Should sue gO across it is said she will do so qu a small mainsail, co bowsprit, and nd top hamper alot.Her sails are being made of a Light but strong weave of duck, such as Commodore Forbes had on the *\u2018Puritap\u2019 lust year, whicn will make a greal saving of weight, 1t issald she will be ready to sall aboul the 18t of April Gen.Paine Will Not Bualld.BosTON, December 21.\u2014Guneral Paine will pot build a boat to defend the \u2018America\u2019s\u2019 Cup.He saiu this to-day distinctly for the first time, and sdded: \u201cI had practically made up my mind ro this some time ago, but, for.reasons of my own, did not care Lo make à final decision or to make it public until now.\u2018l built tbe \u201cVolunteer\u201d because no one else seemed likely to come forward.Nosuch siergency exists to-day, and\u2019 the cup seems likely to be well defended.\u201d Mr.Bryant was informed of Gen.Paine\u2019s decision.\u201cIl ain more in doubt now than ever as to whether to build or not,\u201d he said in answer lo a question as to his Intentions, \u201c| have known for some days what the (Gieneral's decision would probably be, but that bas not helped me to make mine.There are many reasons why I should build, and many why | should not.My frieuds seem to say no, but my own inclinations are the other way.As itis, J cannot say definitely whether i will bulid or not until atout Jan- ruay 10.| must consult my builaer, figure caielully on the cost, and know thoroughly where 1 stand before I decide.\u201d * Will not the second week In January be 8 bit lale to start?\u201d was as \u201cNot at all\u201d replied Mr.Bryant \u201cI shail have everything in shape to go right ahead, and four months ought to be time enourh in which to bulld a boat.1f 1 get her aaîting by June 1 there will be plenty of time to get her into shape.\u201d \u2018Then you have pretty well settled in your own mind what your boat will be?\u2018Yes; I have à pretty good idea,\u201d repliea Mr.Bryant, smilinæ;!\" but 1 don\u2019t care to say anything about her now.I have, however, no desire to be unduly secret in the matter, and when she is fairly in frame I shall be perfectiy willing to give all'needed Information.\u201d So, from what Gen.Paine and Mr.Bryant say, & Boeton cup defender is still an uncertainty.BSbould Mr.Bryant build he would have as his sailirg master Capt.Snow, who hassailed with him for years on the \u201cAlert.\u201d Gen.Paine does not, apparently, regard seriously the rumor (hat his son, John B., will head a syndicate of Boston yachtsmen, and there are indications of no other syndicate being formed.\u2018The Adams boys would certainly not be active in getting up one of which they would be the head.It seems, therefore, as if Boston would have to look to Mr.Bryant to represent the city.He is certalniy well quaiitied to do so, apd the hope that be wili decide to build is very freely expressed by those interested.Fer the

tour in the West, Lie has some original views upon the possible speed of trotting horses.\u201cNo ons can tell the limit of the speed of A horse in these days of mechanical improvements,\u201d he sald in commenting on the last time made by trotters the past season.\u201cThe fast time made by a hubdred horses this year shows that it is the pneumatic tire sulky that has made the difterence.When it is considered that the number of horses that have entered the 2.15 list this year exceeds the number o! those that had trotted within that limit for all time before, it is easy to xce that something causes thls great advance other than the improvement made in breeding and training.O: course, nu one can calculate what Lhe improvements of the future will do lor trotting horses.but | stick to my original statement that the horse will never look through a bridle and beat two minutes on the old-fashioned track, hitohed to the ordinary suiky.Kite tracks and umatic tires have aone grand things lor she trotier, but the horses muk- ine the fast lime by these improvements Are not greater than their preuecessors by the difference indicated Ly the records.Tue difference in the speed of a Rite track ond the old-fashioned track has been variously estimated from half a second to two seconds; a real deal depends upon the horse's train- ng.lhe difference in speed a horse can ninke when bitched to a pneumatie tire sulky compared with an ordinary sulky is slili greater, so that when these phenomenally fast records sre made the new improvements should be taken Into considera- Lion Ro A8 to correctiy estimate the speed capacity of ti e animal.\u201c\u201cSunol\u2019s\u2019\u201d record is 2.083% on a kitesahaped track, but until she is driven uver the Clevelan track to an ôr- dinary sulky fn 2.08% or less 1 must consider \u201cMaud 8.\" the gresier performer of the LwWo.< CURLING.Heather Beel and Greens.The Heather Curling Ciut of Cote St.Antoine will have their annual vee: and

PAGES .THE BY-LAW PASSED AND THE STREET RAILWAY ARE MAS- \" TERS OF THE SITUATION, The City Council Give Them the Preference in Coustructing New Lines \u2014 A Deputation From the Central Trades and Labor Council.The electric railway by-law has at last been passed by the City Council and the Mayor authorized to sign it after the Coimn- pany has signified ite acceptance of its terms.When the Council assembled yeater- day afternoon, His Worship the Mayor presided and the absentees were Ald.Germain, Perreault, Grenier, Bolsseau, Conroy, Stevenson and Jeannotts, Ald.Lawarche introduced a deputation from the Central Traces and Labor Council, who wished section 40 of the by-law to be amended 80 ns Lo read that: \u201cThe servants and employes of the Company shall not be allowed (instead of held) to work more than Len hours per day or v0 hours per wee Mr.L.Z.Boudreau stated that tne Labor Couticil wanted thal clause made 60 binding thal the Company could not compel the cou- ductors and drivers to work longer hours.Mr.Wu, Keys said that they were in a position to say that these men did not de- Biry to Work Mure than ten hours a day.This Would give employmeut to Many Men in the city who were now out ol work.Ald.Beausoleil did wot know Lhat the Coil bad the power Lo interfere between employer and empioye, Supposing one wan worked ten hours a day for $1.25, while another preferred to work twelve hours for $1.607 Did he deputation propose Lo impose a fine of $25 or $50 upon the mien Who worked longer hours?Mr.Boudreau said they wanted to have the by-luw 60 arranged Lal the wen could uot be compelled to woik more than ten hours a day or sixly hours a week.As the by-law at present stood there was oolhiug to prevent the Company doing this.\u201cWe e Wanl it made as hive-bound as possible,\u201d remarked Mr.Keys, Ald.Beausoleil did not see how they could force a man to work only a certain number Ol hours a day.Ald.Clendinneng thought the by-law went as far as the Counoll could go.man coulu not be discharged if he refused to wurk under it, Tne Mayor here read the letter frown the Central I'rades and Labor Council.Ald.Kennedy agreed with the deputation that a man should not be called upon to work tore thao ten hours a day, but to say that the Company should not allow a man to do so, even though he were willing, waa too arbitrary altogether.A man with a family might want to do so TO PROVIDE FOR HIS FAMILY.\u201cBut how is a map who is out of work to provide for his family?\u201d put in Mr.Keys.Mr.Boudreau said 1t would not cost the Cowpany any more, but by limiting the hours they had to engage more men and thus give employment to 8 larger number.That was their object Ald.Kennedy: \u201cit is a dangerous thing to lnteriere between employer and employe.\u201d Ald.Wilson said that the men might have to work over-time to meel a contingency.Did the whar! laborers limit themselves to ten hours a day?bir.Keys replied they.averaged about 8 hours a day, Lut sometimes worked 24 or 36 hours at a stretch In case of a rush \u20181 ne Mayor said tbe old Company did not treat their men right and the aim of Lhe Council was Lo bind the present Company to treat their men falrly, and not compel them to wolk more than 60 hours a week.When be was à young man he had worked 18 hours out of the twenty-four.le was sure it was the desire of ali to neip them.Aid.Kennedy said that was the wish of every man in Council, but it was a fact that whar!: iavorers had worked 36 hoursat a stretch unloading ships, Why did they not work only 10 nours a day?Mir.Boudreau: \u2018Yes, but perhaps they would not work again for two days.{ we haven't a right to come where can we gu?\u201d queried Mr.Keys.* Every citizen has a right to do so,\u201d replied Ald.Kennedy, \u201cbut did 1 not see In he papers that Lodges 18 and 19 of the Koignta of Lavor passed resolutions declaring that a deputation which waited upon the Councll some time ago was not authorized to speak for them?\u201d \u201cYou saw nothing of the kind,\u201d retorted here, Mr.Keys Aud.Clendinneng was desirous of limiting the hours of labor, but they could not prevent wen Irom working louger hours if they wished to do so.The Mayor briefly addressed the deputation, which then withdrew Ald.Cunningham called attention to the fact that \\wo orders of the day were on Friday's Council sheet which had never been belore the Council.These were one relating to certain grants to the Fire Committee and to Lhe extension of St.Lawrence street to the river.Ald.Prefontaine stated that the Fire Commitiee report had bee presented to Council and referred to the Finance Committee.Afier an arimated discussion, the Mayor rescinded the order for Friday\u2019 8 meeling.Ala.Hurteau moved, seconded by Ald.Clendinnens, that a special committee com- Ald.Thompson, Kennedy, Stearns, Perreault, Prefontaina, Cunningham, i8- seau, Rainville, Vi: leneuve, with the mover and \u2019seconder, be appointea to make enquiries as to the best possible means of establishing a free municipal library, THE STREET RAILWAY ROUTES.Tne Council then went into committee of the whole, Acting Mayor James in the chair.Ald.fontaine said that while they were aideuselng the schedule of routes the day before he had seen that it would take a great deal of time to put them into perfect shape.He therefore moved a genera! resolution to adopt the routes as laid down by plan annexed, subject to modifications and changes as the Council might direct by simple resolution.This was subsequently withdrawn, Ald.Rainville moving one in its stead.Inthe meantime Ald.Dagenats got the Papineau route changed to Delurimier avenue.Ald.Clendinneng thought Ald.Prefon- taine's resolution a most sensible one, and the Mayor read his list of 23 streets in the specifications which were ignored in the new schedule.A noisy discussion now ensued, and Ald.James had his hands full in maintaining order.Finally Ald.Rainville moved, seconded by Ald.Prefuntaine: That the foliowing elause, numbered 43, be added to the by-law: That the placing of routes in the different sureets Of Che city and thee-tablish- ment of transfer.points shall] remain under the control of the Council.For the present the cars shall run in the streets mentioned In the anpexed schedule anu designated in the aunexed
