\" War Office and A imiralty have not plans in detail of our partly constructed mine and torpedo systems.There is little else in our preparation xr non-preparation for war that they- not understand.are well known.Speaking again of the navy, the Senator demonstrated bow hopeless they were behind foreign powers in naval equipment.This was particularly true as garda Great Britain, our traditional oor Tv would be much ter to provide the land fortifications \u2018at a cost so many times less than \u2018the expenses of navy may bin like equal to that of \u2018Great Britain, inasmuch as it is universally admitted that the land fortifications will render our coasts impregnable.n ion ho said: \u2018The needs of the country a 1 to Congress for action in this direction ; the ndless capital resented in property that could be destroyed by bombardment &p- Our weak points =eAND- Colles srake discouragingis of steedy.At he great American centres opening prices were higher for wheat, and during the at the advance.decling was insignificant \u2026 _ \u2014\u2014- \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE FISH MARKET.Activity and si of the Tish market.No Lrgent, the per r to $4.75, while for No.2 3810 feusible.No.1 large command ring orc seuing at $2.15, C et 38 0 4476 und 6 br ador at 31%.1 Columbia salmon t call at $10.00 to $12 nn ho in uhusuily good r The above quotations are h every of course, Spring Whea Miilers Conten the Home Trade.The local flour market tenor of ig wey, Fotwitheteir ; LLON8 {1 tne prive of wheat trio grades end In some quarters there ls still «nd scliers on we ert, flour toere 8 à [air dhe feet thal whe large.inillers are deavuring to cultivate their crpor Speaks well Tor whe satistectory ch strong iMers, Désl Lande, $4,40 str.ignt rotor the outside figure end ivr Wiater palents $4.25 tu 94.40 the range.was very little doing in Manitoba merkels Must of the week.geclines In Mondu otner prices to, farmers, for No.1 hard, Be freignt of lc at country points.cxpected the farmers will thelr wheat freely and when that the question will be where to ceuse a biockade at many pointe.now to fariners at Manitoba countr on an l¥c freight rate to Fert vere ng follows: No.rd, 47c; lor ow grade stuff.little usiness doing in round lo uote No.1 hard, afloat basis, fc liam, 81 1-2c; No.nipeg Commercial BRITISH MARKETS.of ple advices this \"Eni to th rade re e be eedstutt Is Be follows Lon t pr Sc Coast y Rome gaint firmer.Liverpc BANK OF GERMANY.t of à perial shows the following « changes as \u20ac unt: Cash 1 ation, decreased, 32,200,000 marks.et 50c to blc outside, nd prices nominal at 82c outa) mer1= ulet, prices unc a 3 on track and smal!

composition of their respective teams, but it is quite apparent that: strenuous efforts have been made to place the best man possible.on the ice.Montreal by not playing James and Victoria reserving

England.\u2019 That was opinion emphatically expressed by Hy oyal Highness, and it saved the red coat for the yal Marines, who have worn it with eo much distinction in every quarter of the globe since then as from day when they became a part of our naval establishment.It would be even better than sending red coats to the Colonies if only balf a battalion, or a battery, or a troop of mounted riflemen from each Colony in turn could be brought to England ; but I confess that the difficulty of getting men enough to form a Colonial Army Corps such as the correspondent of the Daily Graphic has suggested seems to me insurmountable.Having expressed this: opinion, Lord Wolseley naturally did not enter into a discussion of the Bomar n which a Colonial Army Corps at t service of the Empire and with its permanent headquarters in England, might bo organized.\u201cTh-re would be no doubt about being able to get the officers,\u201d he said; \u2018they would\" come forward readily -enougb : and the men, if they could be précaret, wpnld be excelient soldiers.But, for tho reasons I have already given, I think it would be im.possibis to rais: such an Army Cor am convinesd, however, that if-a sc one of the kind were practicable, so that some body of Colonial troops inight he quartersd in England, and each portion of the Empire représented in turn.it would bs of immensz value as à means of welding mors: clossly the bonds that unito the Colonies Lo t are tk Country.\u201d \u2018Theso sentiments are in keeping with all that Lord Wolseley is known to hava said years ago, [when he was among ths first advoostés of Impérial Federation, and it is certain that if any scheme for the formation of a Colonial had been tsken to assist Mr.Charlton, M.P., in bis work in the House of Commons in the cause of social purity, and he hoped the agitation would yet secure important amendments to the criminal code.Want of funds had greatly hampered the department, &nd the speaker made an earnest appeal for contributions.He also appealed for assistance in.behalf of a room furnished in the department in the Toronto Haven, and which was doing a great deal of good.He 8 oke very highly of the work done in same direction by Miss Barber, of t \u201cthe Montreal Sheltering Home.Miss Barber gave a sketch of her work if Montreal, which had grown to considerable proportions, and had been productive of great good in rescuing and saving an unfortunate and erring class of tha population, wcluding discharged prisoners, jucbriates, girls from the streets, maternity cases, and the floating class, wish also a night refuge for.women.Many of the cases cited by Miss Barber, were almost heartrending, her appeal to the Templars to tal ce and more earnestly t rescue work were most convincing, inting out th?many ways in which they could help, not among women only, but am men as well.Sh2 also allude work among the poor children of Montreal, who were being ame and t ed to temperance and pur Rev.George Stafford, ae ston, Que.Provincial Grand Superintendent of ite Cross work, put the question squarely before the Council, whether ths order should take a pract ical stand on the rescue question, which was every day forci itæaif more strongly on the tninds of £ho ple.He ureged the immediate initiation of active work.A.M.Featherstone, Dominion Councillor, also urged s \u201chat wii if even in a small way only, that will redound ' This Hedford declined to do, prefer- fing to work for a time single- hand- in the matter.Mr.Scott intimated Char a sum of five hundred pounds would be placed to the credit of Col.Hedford\u2019s account in in the, Great Northern Banking Company.and that he was to spare neither pains nor money in the endeavor to clear up the mystery.As the specislist left the \u2018\u2019Royal Standard\u201d oftice he buttoned his coat with determination and strode hastily.homeward.He was well aware of the intricate nature of the task before him, and fully reaiized tho ditiiculties in his path.On the other hand, tha fact that the five hundred pounds \u2018would convert tho small debit balance of his banking sccount into a handsome credit © ong was a matter for

.+ += \"2: I desire.first of _8ll, to point out that this change is in entire armony with the system and practice of the since its inauguration.Indeed, but: for the operation of this rule of periodical removal from one command to another Commander and Mrs.Bal- Col.Nicol, the Commissioner sent to New York to recall Ballington Booth.lington Booth would not have been appointed to the United States at all.I dwell upon this fact because I see evidence h in your memorial before me and in the contents of à section of the American press, of a supposition that in some way our treatment of the present case is exceptional.I think you will admit that the large measure of success which has been attained by the Army is in itself proof that the anticipations of disaster, very similar in character to those you seem to entertain, which have nearly always found expression when our su ul \u2018Commissioners were remeving, have been groundless.But why such changes?\" Not only for the sake of the direct advantages, the positive good, which in the United States and in other countries has been already gained, but in order to secure the utmost devotion to the principles which the Army has been raised up to enforce, and to avoid any such exclusive confidence in, or attachment to, individuals as your memorials convey.It is, I believe I am right in say- Eva Booth, temporary Commander in New York.1 ing, much the same consideration as has led an overwhelming majority of your statesmen to object to \u2018\u2018third terms,\u201d and to do so even when the alternative was admittedly a selection largely derived of the distinguished gifta be- onging to the President, for whom a third term bas been proposed.And the General feels himself all the more bound to this principle and to its equal application in a case where members of his own family are involved.+ But there is one respect, especially, in which I venture to think your memorials Cambridge.Mass.February 27.\u2014F.L.Woodward, of the Lewrenos Scientific reveal a danger which General Booth cannot but regard with sincere regret.He would naturally be the last to de recate the appreciation of America and PEt.after all, thay are ooly Americans by adoption, and the General, during bis Pad abundant of travel in your œuatry, Ca opportunity of seeing w! has been done among your people b the {-snorifice and totl of other offivers the \u2018Army, many of them native born and others of them laboring In the coun- ry years ore the present leaders ted.woul VO! unselfish men and who have ved under them, and whose toil they would be the.first to has so y ministerd to their suo- vess.; 1 trust that it is not.for me to assure you that we are all 1n- tensely awake to the importance to the whole world of the success of the Army in America.We always look forward with confidence to the time when your , fully informed and im- P our world-wide mission, shall furnish no small quota of both men and money for the vaster conquests that atill await our Lord and ter in the Eastern world.To you, well as to others who value the work of the Army, L would say thet the success of the work in the pest, both in the United States and other lands, is in itself your highest round for confidence that General th will atill receive the Divine blessing on his leadership in the future.- To you, sir, therefore, and to ntleman whoss names follow yours.In the letter before me, influential in commercial and social, as well as in religious society, I know that the General wiil look to act in accordance with those very.kind expressions of confidence in, and sympathy with him which were 80 frequent during his last visit to the States, and which again find expression in the letter referred to.1 am;

.The lenders, he said, were well represented, but where was the delegation representing the borrowers.They likely bad to walk.: The opinion expressed was that six per cent.was about a fair rate, and any attempted regulation would result in loss to the borrower.Mr.Wallace moved, in amendment, that the legal rate be five per cent.This was \u201cvoted down end the original bill lost, the vote standing 18 to 31.A bill, respecting the Huron and Erie Loan and Saving Company, was reported with amendments;

and that any perticular,ray in the spectrum by exciting these primary sensations in the proper portions, cells up the sensat of the color mixture corresponding to that ray.: These facts were then used to explain the formation of \u201cafter images.\u201d This was illustrated by reversi the spectrum upon the screen.Artists, by painting in _\u2018\u2019after-images\u201d along the edges of hright colored \"images, (nduce the impression that the objects were being viewed in bright pplight, although compelled to work with dull colors and inferior illumination.Eich of two complementary colors appeared purer and more brilliant by the others\u2019 presence; and, in consequence, harmonious schemes of color should ist of colors which were , either complementary or the secondary colors formed by uniting the primaries in pairs.An experiment was tried, explaining the blue oalor of the sky and the blue haze seen before distant hills in countries with a clear \u2018atmoaphere.A very fine psrcipative of sulphur particles was p ( a tank filled with a\u2019clear solution and \u201cbeam m the lantera crossing through, it took on the assure blue of the sky, while the light u the screen corresponded to the sun setting in a mist.Further experiments showed tho wonderfully v.ani gorgeous efiects produced out of colorless materials by pulverized light.In one experiment crystals of bemzolc acid were exhibited in the process of formation on the screen; cach orystal, as it grew, indicating its Tesence by e spreading arrow of bril- [isnt o.lored light, tha whole appearance being not unlike the showing of the aurora in.the Polar regions.In conclusion, tbe lecturer sald that be felt art was rather out of his line, but that he h what he had.said would prove se able, an be had tried to explain the physical side of the points w been touched on in the lecture, \u201cThe.Functions and Harmony of Women with pale, colorless faces, who teel weak and discours, , will receive and pare ' both vigor by using Carter's Little Liver Pills.Special!

ACADEMY.|* THE GREAT TRAGEDIENNE IN THE NEW PLAY \u201c IZEYL \u201d .There was an Immense Audience at the Initial Performance of the Present Engagement-Successful Presentation of a Great Play.ore was an immense house at the Academy of Music last evening to welcome back Madame Sarah Bernlkardt and her company.It is sixteen years since the greatest of the French tragediennes of the present day first visited this city, and the bold she then secured on Mon- trealers is as tenacious to-day, and, in fact, has been strengthened by the visit which she paid Montreal four years ago.There was not a seat vacant, and many bad to put up with standing room when the curtain rose for the first act of the four-act Hindoo trage seed.** Izeyl,\"\u201d which is one of the latest additions To the artiste\u2019s repertoire Madame Bernhardt received a hearty pelcome, and the sym- patbies of the ®udience for her were sustained throughout ; she was recall véral times at the end of each ac Thoug h she has been on the stage f more \u201chan thirty years, she is preserved to a wonderful degree, and in fact she looks better now than she ever did.Her voice is as melodious as ever and remains one of the factors of the great power she exercises over her hearers.This drama, written by Armand Sylvestre and Eugene Morand \u2018expressly for Madame lern- hardt, hinges on a Hindoo legend and is in verse.It was beautiful mounted, the stage effects being really fine, but the waits between acts were very long and somewhat marred an otherwise successful performance.The minutest attention to detail which characterizes the playing of French artists of the best order was noticeable throughout, and every person was suited to the part assigned, \u2018\u2018Izéyl\u201d is a courtesan, and this character enables her to reveal that charming fascination which is one of her greatest, po powers.The interesting act of the play is the third act, and in this Bernhardt is really great, and last ening she was as powerful as ever.In the bi first act the King \u201cEcyndia\u2019\u2019 is seon in all his Orienta and after being apprised of the Ha oF life abdicates his t rone and goes into the desert.In the second he is followed by the courtesan, who in a fascinating avène meeks to induce.him to dev- iste from the path he has chosen, but to no pu \u2018Tzeyl\u201d returns to her gilded homs in the third act, and there she is called on by \u201cthe Prince\u201d who now occupies the throne.He seeks to have her change the new life she has decided upon, but he is killed by her in the attempt.The manner in which she se2ks to conceal his death \u2018 when his mother enters the house, and the sub- sequant discovery of the corpse affords her an opportunity for tragic acting which will be remetabered by thoss who have ssen it.It will rank in the minds of those present as one of the great scènes of the stage of the present day.The realistic effect was such that the whole play was lost sight of and the ragedieñne absorbed and rivetted all thet attention upon herself In the fourth act \u201clgeyl,\"\u201d who Las bsen condemned to have her eyes pierced and otherwise tortured, dies, and omyly those who have seen Bernhard tin a death scene can realize how really ow.erful she is.The curtain went in : Seathliko silence as the Tifoless \u201cIzey)\u201d bad been laid in the sepülchre.But it went up a gain as she received an ovation, and bowed her acknowledgments.This play varies very much from Bernhardt\u2019's well-known re- rtoire, and there is no doubt that \u201cLa osca,\u201d\u2019
