LONDON, May 7.\u2014 lard Kitchener's despatch, although it announced that the Boers have been forved from the only strong position on the road to Ookiep, and suggested that the relieï vi the town had been accomplished, had little or no effect on the Stock Exchange.The Kathir circus was, however, exhilarated in the afrr- moon by a rumour that the mere\u201c ag of representatives ta Jade upon the terms of peace uiered by the British is to be on the 9th instead of the 14th oad here was, apparently.no substantial for the rumour, but it did its work all the same.For some time past the nuning market has been very sick, and big operators have found it convenient to w- vent news in order to even prices up now end then.PICK OF ENEMY TRANSVAALERS.(Special to the Montreal Star.) LONDON, May 7.\u2014 Normal operations in Cape Colony, says the Cape Town correspondent of the Tunes, are less atfected than In other districts by the Boer meetings on the subject of peace.The enemy is not numerous, but the enormous area of the country and the amallness of each burgher band vender it difficult for the British columns \u201c to press the Boers when vperating at great distance from their base.The correspondent says that the pick uf the enemy are some : Transvaalers who accompanied General Smuts in a hurried tour on the midlands snd then acruss the railway to the western districts.One body.composing five or six commandos, for sume time has been devot- img its attention to the railway from Port Nalloth to Oolep and 1s still interrupting traffic.Another Las its headquarters in Great Fish River Valley, 200 miles away, i and occesionally worrying block house lines.Two or three commandos have Beaded north.and a small party of Boers ie again wandering in (\u2018amdebgo district, keeping close to the shelter offered mmotmiains.Correspondent says that chief à railway in the open country west and north of main line.This would facilitate present operations and eventually ve à pacifring factor as well as a fruit- source of revenue.COUNTRY WEARY OF THE WAR The country is.weary of the wear, and the announcement of peece will be very welcome when it comes.During April.the British casualties were 2 officers and 292 men killed or died of disease, one officer | y the | | and 90 sen accidentally killed, one officer and sevgteen men taken prisoners, 93 otfi- cers 2,681 men sent home as invalids.Altogetler the war has been responsible fog the loss of 37.733 British soldiers.reac SITUATION DEVELOPING: sk PREDRIA, May 7.\u2014The peace aitus:} tion is leveloping satisfactorily.Accordung to reliaile information which reached here, several of the nearer commandoes have re- receive?the burgher delegates in an amicable sprit.It is un that Commandant Byers bas announced his willingness to abile by the decision reached by the Transteal Gorerament/ > THEY FEAR HENER.LONDON, May 7.\u2014A letter from Ptetor- ia, dated April 13, is printed describing the Boer delegates.The writer says that they all like and respect General Kitchener, fear him to a good extent.It was expec that State Secretary Reita wculd prove troublesome, but General Kitchener kept him so busy that he did not have leisure to make speeches.HAD HIS MEDAL CANCELLED.LONDON, May 7.\u2014The Official Gazette.last night.announces that the distinguished conduct medal ted by.the War Office to Corporal H.\u20ac Picton; of Loch's Horse.who became a lieutenant in the Bushveldt Carbineers, the organimtok,ace Wisoners and women, has Na Major Bliss of Ottawa Describes Engagement of Hart River.PAARDEBERG WAS OUTDONE The Fight Was Hard and Fierce and Delarey Used Artillery Methuen .Lost.(Special to the Montreal Star.)

by the lads who went from our peaceful civic ife to the death struggle in South Africa.What they have accomplished for the national name will not be fully measured until many years after we.who thrilled to it, have given way to generations to whom the Boer war will be long past history.But we shall leave a recard for these generations of how we were able to appreciate the sacrifice made for us by our contemporary representatives: and that record will be chiefly visible in the lasting monuments, which we erect in their honour.If these monuments speak of a niggard spirit or a dull enthusiasm, we shall have only made it plain how\" 1we were \"of the men of whom so prominent ar officer as Lt.-Col.Claude (ane, of the Royal Irish Regiment, says: \u201cThe general opinion among the miltiary authorities in England and Ireland, is.that the Canadian \u201ctroops are the only colonial ones that can always be rehed upon in a tight place.\u201d BE RELIED CONSULT PARLIAMENT.Messrs.Mackenzie and Mann are to get £327,000 for the Yukon Railway they did not build.If they had built it, they would have received the Yukon instead.So it wuld appear that, on the whole, -the Senste made the best of à bad bargain.This experience should, however, deter Ministers from committing the country to vast enterprises without first consulting Parliament.A very fair special session of Parliament could have been had for $327.000.Consequently, if haste Were as neces: sary as the Government then thought, the epinion of Parliament could have been obtained at once at a cost not exceeding the forfeit we now have to pay out for a broken contract.Parliament rules this country: not merely the House of Commons.where alone the Ministry must have a majority.but the House of Commons.the Senate and the King, as represented by the (Governor Genenl.This is a fact which all public men will do well to keep constantly in mind.It may save them humiliation and us money.Parliament may and does give certain definite powers to fhe Privy Council: but not so great a power as the making of a contract like that which the Xenate re jected.When Parliament has not given a speci: fied power to the Cabinet, and an occasion arises for its exercise, 1t 1s always better to summon a special session of the two Houses than to run any risk.There may \u201cle cases where 11 18 no absolutely

eonsulted.ANOTHER LOBSTER HOME.This 18 an age nf commercialization.indeed.Now they have taken all the romance out of Robinson Crusoe, by using his ixland as a place for running a successful lobster factory business.Instead of the solitary bermit finding footprints in the sand, many now go down to the shore and gather in big lobwters at low tide.The island 1a the property of Chili, and the intention 1s to provide a local government and make it a province.It ie six hundred miles weat of Valparaiso, and is fifteen miles long and eight wide.The Juxunance of the growth of all kinds of wild fruit and other vegetation shows that the castaway Alexander Selkirk.whose adventures inspired Defoe, had no lack of wholesome provender.United States Consul Manstield, of Valparaiso, im his report to hie Department of State, apeaka thus of Juan Fernandez: \u2018There are quantities of lobsters.craha and excel lent food fishes in the water.The lohatern are large, of excellent flavour.and especial ly suited for canning.They are eamty caught, and the supply seems inexhaustible.The cost of recuribr them is nominal.There are also a large number of fur veais on Fernandes.There ia plenty of fresh water on the island; land can be acquired by aot.tlers without cost: fruit and vegetables grow wild, and can be easily cultivated, which makes the cost of hving relatively low.There En a good harbour on one side of the island, where a large ship can anchor with safety.\u201d The existence of the lobster in the waters adjacent to the island will be learned with surprise by many.It ie an unknown fish on the Pacific coast of Canada and the United States, though efforts have been made to stock the Pacific waters with lotaters from the Atlantic.The rapid extinction of the lobster in European coun: tries and the grest diminution of the mup- ply on the Atlantic coast of North America have led Jo a belief, yearly etrengthening, a 2514 ys DAIRY ov 8 FT 2 >; x.y £3 Fo BA MASEL kp NS Wi LK iy '

students seem to consider incumbent upon them when they are out in force.The Venetians, with their gondolas, and mandolins, and poetry, and Othellos, and things, couldn't understand the demonstration.Calling the patrol gondola, they removed the naval gentlemen to a dungeon.They were relessed on the intercession of the King of Italy, but now they are to be court-martialed by their own authorities and stand in peril of having their pictures in the papers.The annual auction sale of shade-grown tobacco at Hartford, Conn.resulted in first class shade-grown Sumatra .tobacco bringing $2 a pound.This tobacco is used as an exterior covering for cigars, and is now fast displacing the milky leaf from Sumatra.lt is practically without flavour, but its smoothness and nice appearance make it especially useful in cigar manufacturing.When it is known that shade grown tobacco in the Connecticut valley is now a success, that the growers make a protit of $1.000 an acre from their land, and that anything that can be grown in Connecticut can be equally well grown in parts of Canada, possibilities loom up.\u2014\u2014 Dewey day did not prove an enduring festival in the United States.The enthu: siasm of the press aroused a certain amount of exultation over the battle of Manila Bay.but time let in more light upon the facté.11 there had heen any terrible dan- rer toencounter.Dewey and his fleet would have unhesitatingly faced it, but a review of the occurrences shows that the United States fleet was involved in as dangerous an adventure as John L.Sullivan would be in a battle with an apple woman.It is not surprising that the anniversary of the vic: tory haa already ceased to be generally observed as a great public holiday.Most of the Boers in the field are alleged to be favourably disposed towards peace.\"but Delarey\u2019's commando has a number ot people who have burned their bridges in a literal as well as figurative sense.Some of them are also mercenaries who do not want to vote themselves out of a job.In the meantinie the great mass of the Boers.being in British prison camps and concentration camps, remain a silent majority.They certainly ought to have a vote.Mr.J.L.Gauthier, who declared to the people of Windsor that the defeat of the Ross Government would be taken so much to heart by Sir Wilfrid Laurier that he would resign in thirty days, is the same Mr.J.L.Gauthier, of the Premier's birthplace, St.Lin, who declared during the St.James Division election, that \u2018the government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier is the government of National revendication\u201d; whatever that means.Now it is discovered that all who go to London to attend the Coronation can come back with a ducal coronet in their possession.An enterprising German firm has made a delightful imitation in silver gilt, which they sell in the British capital for 25 cents a piece.Thus the tourists ; will all be able to show their friends how they would look in the head gear of a duchess\u2014 \u201cmade in Germany.\u201d Mr.Barton, the Australian Premier, having been invited by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, on behalf of leading manufacturing and com mercial bodies, to visit

Premature.FEELING IS THE OTHER WAY Important Statement by Premier Bond Concerning Relations to Canada and the States.(From a Special Correspondent.) | ST.JOHN, May 1.\u2014The colony is at present rejoicing in prosperity.The various departmental returns show business to be healthy and the financial position sound.A census was taken in December last.Tb shows the population to be 220,000, an increase during the decade of 18,000, being double the ratio of that of the best parts of the Eastern Provinces.During the past year (ending 30th June, 1901), the imports were $7,476,000; exports were $8,232 000.The aggregate exceeded every previous year except 1899-0, from which it does not materially differ.The total trade bas increased nearly five millions of dollars in five years.The total revenue was $2,025,285.There was an increase in the exportd of every article except canned lobsters, the fishing of which has largely overdone.In all directions there are indications of vigor and prosper isted here in 1885, in favour of union with Canada, h to be an active force.As an cxamiie of this, three public debates: took place here during the past winter, on the subject.In one debate the project re ceived a tie vote.In the others it was over whelmingly defeated by ular vote.This result is partly caused the people feeling greater confidence in their own resources and prosperity, and partly a feeling that Canada, in the negotiations of 1885, attempted to drive a hard bargain and take advantage of the temporary embarassed fin- cial condition of the colony.Whether this feeling is justly founded or not, it is certain that neither Mosars.Bowell nor Fos ter.who represented Canada, are names to conjure with here.This colony will not again make overtures for union.a e sentiment

Premier, thus stated the case of the colony to your corres pondent.He said: \u201cIn 1800 1 went to Washington for the purpose of negotiating an arrangement with the United States Government, under which fish and other products of the Jeland might be admitted in return for the privilege conceded to United States fishermen, ot purchasing bait.1 succeeded in making a convention with Mr.Blaine, then Secretary of State, for the free admission of all the | products of our fishermen, except green god, in, return fer the fres purchase of bait.conside a very important matter to this Island, for while our fresh fish was not sdmitted free, our dried and pickled fish had the advantage that the Boston.New York and other cities afforded us as distributing centres, which, if taken advantage of, probably would very largely extend \u2018the market for them.This treaty was never ratified for the reason that it was protested against by the Government of Canada, on the , 1st, that the Dominion Government should be allowed time to negotiate a similar treaty on her own behalf, and, 2nd, because it was contended that it discriminate in favour of the United States.and against Canada, and, 3rd, that the Newfoundland Convention would judice the interests of the Canadian ermen.Her Majesty's Government held the ratification of the convention in abeyance until Canada was afforded ample time to te with the United States, but has pie itæsif in despatches \u2018and thro responsible Minis tera in the British Parliament, that the Newfou -Convention shall not be inde- Monkey Brand Soap removes

privileges proposed to be conveyed under the convention.We have done this because we believe the United States is prepared to carry out her part of the ent as soon as the necessary action of His Majesty's Government renders it possible.\u201cThe Colony under Sir James Winter's Government associated itself with the Laurier Government in the negotiations it un- dertoak with the United States in 1807-1808, but those iations ended nearly four years ago, and are not likely to be renewed.We d never hope to obtain access to the United States markets so lo sociated with the Canadian vernment in negotiations, because there were aix or seven other questions of a complex character, in which Newfoundland had wo concern, but which are all important to Canada and the United States, and which the United States have never refused to con- mder apart from the fishery, question.Jf that Government cannot obtain access to the United States markets, it ought not to stand out against our obtaining it.Such a course is unneighbourly, unfriendly and unworthy of a great I personally represented .to Bir Wilfrid urier my views respecting e unwarrantable attitude of the Dominion Government.He seemed to be impressed with the reasonableness of my observations.Our Colony intends to press for the right to renew negotiations with the United States, and he could not i grounds the Canadian Government could agajn \u2018interfere, or how His Majesty's Government possibly recognise the right of the said Government to interfere in the trade relations of another Colony, which did not pro to discriminate against it or other British subjects, in favour of the United States.\u201d Sir Robert Bond's ition is well supported by public sentiment in the Colony, and the results of his forthcoming visit to England are awaited with considerable in- CENSUS RESULTS.An interim census report has been made showing that the population has increased from 202,040 in 189] to 220,49 in 1901.The increase in the decade has been 9 per cent.This increase, being nearly four times the ratio of increase in the peighbouring province of Nova Scotia and double that of New Brunswick, must regarded ns satisfactory.Five out of eighteen census districts showed a slight decrease, Labrador is a part of thu province, and has been losing in population since 1884, : ing then 4.211 and in 1901 3.634.A registry of births and deaths is kept by the Registrar of Vital Statistics.Comparing his returns with the actual enumeration, it is found that one district not only retained its natural increase of population, but made additions, that district being St.George, which added 8.2 per cent.to its natural increase.St.Barbe only lost 1.6 per cent, or 100 persons, out of its natural increase.two districts are on the west or French shore part of the island.Placention and St.Mary, Fogo, Trinity and Bonavista practically retain all their natural increase.St.Johns gained 14 per cent.over natural

$100 and a side of $0, but as a matter of fact the men fought for the gate receipts which amounted to about £0.About nine o'clack cahs drove to a rendezvous just outside the city where the ne- cupants were t waiting fer an hour be fore the place of hattle was announced.Then the word was passel round in the most cautious wianner for fear that some one would get back to town and warn the

Delibre.Before Mr.Justice Hall, in Chambers of the Court of King's Bench to-day.a long argument took place on the nght of the city to warty the appeal in the Larocque case to the Privy Council, and on the necessity of furnishing security lo prosecute such appeal.The argument arose on the notice Even to Mr.F.C.Spunders.attorney for the plammutf larceque.that the city would to-day give security for costa bi the appeal.Messrs.Ethier and Archambault, the city attorneys.and A.W.Atwater.the consulting city alurneyp were present un be half of the city while Mr.Archie MeGoun.K.C.replaced Mr.À.R.htred as\u2018counsel to Mr.Saunders, plaintift's attorney.Mr.L.J.Ethier, K.C.on behalf of the city, arzued that there was no neccscty to give security fo- the appeal.and, therefore, the city could not be restricted to givin this security on a certain day.The Federa statutes provided the procedure to be followed in appeals to the Supreme Court, but ed by the statutes of the Province until the appeal had been filed with the Registrar of the Privy Council.This was a reasonable provision for after all the object où giving secunty was to protect the respondent from ; seing his judgment and costs in the low er court eaten up hy the costs of à high>r court, without having any security for the payment of the judgment.It seemed absurd to ask the city or a great company to furnish a security which ip reabity must be less solvent than the appellant nteelf.Mr.A W.Atwater, RC.cnntended that though the city bad dffered security.it was not necessary.The city had given the notice within the necessary delay.the =e: cur.ty had been offered.but in the absence of the judges, Mr.Jaseph.the clerk wf the court.declared that he had ne authority to accept security.The matter was then put off until todav.Dealing again with the article exempting the city from giving Lub security.he asked the question which hight come from thew opponents in the case: \u201cWhat security would a respondent have if the city did not prosecute its ai peal in time *° This was provided for by the clause which rendered the judgment executory after six months from the date on which the leave to appeal was sranted.He also argued that by offering security the city had not waived its rights tn gu to appeal without security.Security had heen offered simply to avaid any possible complications.Mr.F.C.Saunders said that he was sur- rised at the attitude adapted hy the city.le had been put off time after time from February for the pixpose of g t!ing security put up.Finally, on March 20.the judg ment of the Court af King's Rench had given the city right to appeal and had or dered security tn be furnished within ax weeks.The security had heen offered on the second day ni Mar, a day after the delay had elapsed.Mr.A.MeGoun.K ©.quated the Privy Ceunml practice reports of 1683.ta ahow that the Privy Cuncil itself regulated the conditions on which the appeals were to he allowed.and theee conditions could not le fixed by the Quebec Legislature.much less delegated to a petty municipality.The Court of the Privy Council was a court «f the Empire, and the right to appeal to the fcot of the throne rould not be curtailed.Mr.Atwater agreed with the last eenti- ment.hut asked whether the British North America Act war not an Imperial statute of more recent date than the rule of prac tice quoted.Mr.Metiaun contended that the city had contented ta the judgment of the Court of King's Rench ordenng security to be given and that settled the matter.Ar.Justice Hall askel the parties whether ther considered that the Court of King's Bench had any right to curtail appeals.To his mind it had not.à t simply granted leave to appeal.and thus retained the possession of the record which would otherwise be sent back to the Superior Court.If he was right in his present opinion, he did not think he had the right to order the city to give the appeal within a certain time under a penalty of being de pnved of the right to appeal.but simplr under the penalty of having the judgment me executory.Mr.McGoun contended - the city oy applring for leave had accejtel the juris diction of the Court of King's Bench.and must be bound by the conditions imposed.Mr.Ethier closed the argument on the part of the rity.He claimed they had a right te put in their security now.and offered the two sureties.Messrs.Dufresne and Arnoldi.At the same time he maintained the city was not bound to offer anv security whatever.The matter was taken en delibere.WIDOW AWARDED DANAGES The Court Held That Culpable Negligence Has Been Shown.Mr.Justice Archibald severely scored the defendant in the case of Tourangeau vs Martineau to-day in rendering judgment in favour of the plaintiff for 2.380 to be a divided between plaintiff and her child.The: plaintiff's husband.David Gauthter, was employed for defendant, J.B.Mar- tineau.contractor for St.Edward's Church on St.Denis street.While at work with a derrick which war raised between the walls of the new structure he received an electric shock along the chain of the derrick from the high temsion wires.and was killed At the hearing it was shown that the foreman had himself received a severe shock some days before.This the learned judge sald, showed that the people in charge of the work knew that there was danger in allowing men to work with a derrick In such a perilous position.Those responsible for such a state of affairs should be brought before the criminal courts.A Point in Election Case.A nice point of law in connection with the

Described by Members of It.COMING UNDER BRITISH FLAG The Advance Guard is in.Manitoba Selecting a Site for the Colony.The story of the hardships endured by the Welsh settlers in Patagonia, twenty- eight of whom have arrived at Winnipeg, as the advance guard of a large contingent, is told by themselves in a graphic manner.The place selected for the colony in Bouth America lies about 1.000 miles to the south.of the Rio de la Plata.It is just thirty years since they landed on the inhospitable shore of Patagonia.The country was nothing but a desert with a growth of scrub and vegetation of the cactus van: ety, one species of which was known as the \u201cwild potatoes.\u201d To such straits were the early settlers reduced that they had to resort to \u2018\u2018wild potatoes\u201d as an article of diet.To add to this, there was no natural water supply, other than the Chubut river.After digging the caves, some of the settlers set to work to till the land.They sowed some wheat in the vicinity of Port Madryn.Had it been sown on the pave ment of Montreal it would have had as much chance of ripening as on the arid ehores of New Bay.In fact, a knowledge of the history of the colony compels one to the conclusion that it was a shameful thing to move a number of people for the most part without means, to a desert remote from any place, when there was an opportunity of making a living.lt 1s, however, to the credit of the settlers, that they faced the hardships involved most bravely.and after much toi] have turned what was a desert into a fairly productive egricultural district.The men are of fine physique and well educated and of superior intelligence.They are excellent horsemen and capable of being good farmers and ranchers.Of course, having lived so long in the country of the gaucho they are as expert with the lasso and bclas as any cow boy.FLOOD AND PEST Up to 1888.the prospects were more or Jess satisfactory.In that year about half the crops were destroved by the locusts.Then in 99 came the disastrous flood which destroyed the irrigation canals and the dwellings of the rettlers.The banks of the Chabut slope away back to the valley, and in consequence, when the melted snows of the Andes filled it bank-full, it flowed back clear to the foothills at the farthest fringe of settlement, fubmerging for weeks every farm in the colony.It waa only by flyi to the hills that the inhabitants sav their lives.The water remained on the land till it was too late to sow.The same flood destroyed what provisions and cropa were stored on the farms, as well as rendering any crop in 1000 impossible.In 1901 the settlement was again visited by a flood, v little less disastrous than that of \u201899, rendering any crop last year out of the question, and the crop of this year will depend upon how much work in the oy of repairing canals can be adcomplish- One of the institutions which the Welsh found most galling was the military service.The Argentine army is recruited hy conscription.Every boy of the age of eighteen ix liable to be called on for mih- tary service and he cannot leave the dia- trict without giving notice to the military authorities.ere is a great objection on the part of the Welsh to their sons being compelled to mix with the rank and rile of the Argentine army, because it is feared that the association will have a bad effect on their morals.This is one of the penalties necersitated by the Welsh leaving the Rritish flag to live under a foreign flag.Ther should doubtless be prepared to abide by the constitution of the country they have adopted.but the stubborn inherent domn- nance of the British people assert itself.with whose principles of government they are not and can never be in sympathy.MADE A GRAVE MISTAKE.They realize, they made a mistake in departing from under the British flag, and the onginal idea of forming a Welsh colony there wag abandoned some time ago.To do this they will submit to almost any financial sacrifice.One farmer.who was offered $7,500 for his farm two years ago, sold for $1,500 to come again under the British flag.The matter has been the subject of much discussion between the Impe and Canadian governments, and influential deputations have waited on Mr.Chamberlain and others of the ministers for the purpose of securing aid for their transportation.Mr.Chamberlain said that the guwernment had no funds for such a purpose\u2014the assisting of passages to a self-governing colony,\u2014but offered the colones transportation to South Africa.But the Patagonian Welsh had set their hearts on coming to the Land of the Maple.PROSPECTING FOR COLONY'S HOME.The Canadian Government, however, could do nothing, but eventually the Welsh members of the Imperial Parliament, as well as Lord Strathcona and Mr.Joseph (Chamberlain assisted, and as a result the first contingent has arrived.The money s9 far collected will pay for the passage of 250 or 300 immigrants.i Messrs.Lewis and Hughes have already gone west to locate farming lands on behalf of themselves and those about to come.They desire that the Government reserve for them a township, in order that the volony may remain together, and there 1s every reason to believe that their request will be granted.Both of these gentlemen expressed the greatest delight with what they have already seen of Canada, and are wrateful to the officials of the immigration dcpartment for the very material help already given.There :8 no doubt but that the new ammvals will succeed in Canada, and in the course of a very few vears will be among the most thriving and pros.pervus of the residents of the North-West.The Lachine Train Service.To the Editor of the Montreal Star: Sir \u2014Âs so many more families are leaving the city for Lachine this summer than usual, it occurs 'to me that the carrying of same daily to and fro by the Street Ral way would yield a good revenue if a few cars night and morning and noon-day on Saturday would make taster rums.1 am told on good authority that never has Lachine been so sought after as this year and yet in the face of this fact the G.T.R.are running fewer trains than usual, and if the Street Railway would just step in and fill the gaps created, I am sure the cars would be well patronized.The writer was just an hour going to Lachine last evening including waiting at Cote St.Paul 5 minutes, now this is too long.Take the G.T.R.Guide, which comes into effect on 28th inst, there is no train slow or fast from Lachine after 8.10 am.until 9.31 a.m., the former is too early for many to commence business and the latter (10.00 a.m.) too late.Outwards at night, the 5.45 is too early and there is no train afterwards until 8.00.Mid-day Saturdavs outwards, the 1.35 slow train is a trifle too early and the next one is 3.55 slow.Trusting you can find room in your valuable paper for this grievance, as by domg so you will confer a great n on many of your readers.Yours, \u201cONE OF MANY.\u201d \u201cRecalls An Old Tragedy.\u201d To the Editor of the Montreal Star: Sir,\u2014In one of your issues of a recent date I noticed that ex-Ald.Hood recalls his experience of April 23rd, 1855, while crose- ing the St.Lawrence, opposite the city, in which he states he is the only livi vivor of that eventful trip.I have heard my father, Richard Booth (late of Montreal), and now residing at Huntingdon, tell many times of that trip, as follows: My father, who was engaged in building tele- ph lines for the Montreal Telegraph oinpany, was leaving the city with his men to go to build a line from Niagara to Windsor.They were being conducted across, under the guidance of a Mr.Mor- rice, whén the shove took place.= They were drawing the mail across on a sleigh, Mrs.Dr.dy being seated upon the mail bags.Mr.Hood had a very narrow escape by falling into the water, and waa rescued by boats from Longueujl, the first one to get into the boat being Morrice, the guide; Mr.Booth second.When Mr.Booth look for his men, they were mere specks upon the ice, and were taken off near Longue Pointe.Mr.Booth, Mr.Hood, and one oi Mr.Booth\u2019s men are the only survivors known of to-day.Mr.Booth is still hale and hearty, and good for a few more years.The above is an near correct as my mem ory will serve, having heard my father re late his experience quite often.R.BOOTH, JR.- |

Américan Medico-Psychological As sociation will hold their annual convention in Montreal from June 17 to the 20th inclusive.The founders of the society are Dr.Samuel B.Woodward, superintendent of the Massachusetts State Lunatic Hospital, at Worcester, and Dr.Francis T.Stribling, superintendent of the Western Lunatic Asy- Jum, of Virginia.The object of the society is the study of all subjects pertaining to mental disease, including the care, treatment ang promotion of the best interests of the insane.The membership is com of resident physicians of the United States and British America especially interested in the treatment of insanity.The Association has met yearly since 1844, up to the present date with one exception, owing to the outbreak of the Civil War.in April, 1861.\\In all that time the organization has assembled but three times on Canadian soil, at Quebec in 1858; Toronto in 1871, and 1881.Montreal has never before been honoured by its presence, and there is no doubt but its initial visit here will be a great success.The present officers of the Association are Dr.R.J.Preston.of Marion, \u2018à, president; Dr.G.Adler Blumer, of Providence, R.I.vice-president; and Dr.C.B.Burr, of Flint, Mich., secretary-trea- surer.Addresse of welcome will be given by the Lieutenant-Governor, the Mayor of Montreal, and the president of the Montreal Medico-Chirurgical Society.The annual address will be delivered by Dr.Wyatt Johnston.This task has always been delegated to ane outside the ranks of the Association.The Committee of Arrangements consists of Dr.T.J.W.Bu .Dr.G.Villeneuve, Dr.J.V.Anglin, Dr.E.Philippe Chagnon, and Dr.James Perrigo, of Montreal, and Dr.A.Vallee, of Quebec.The following gentlemen will assist the (Committee of Arrangements: Dr.T.G.Rod-

Hotel.Hh THE PLUMBERS\u2019 STRIKE IS STILL IN PROGRESS A Number of Master Plumbers Sign An Agreement to Fight the Men\u2019s Demands.The plumbers\u2019 strike is still on, and from present appearances there does not seem to be any chance for an immediate settlement.The men are all exceptionally firm in their demands, and will refuse to return to work until the entire demand 1s granted.It was thought by the committee representing the wen that the backbone of the trouble was broken when over half of the employers signed the agreement with the union, conceding the demands.The other half of the masters have decided, however.to fight the strike.They have signed an agreement as follows: \u201cWe, the master plumbers of Montreal, do hereby agree to stand by one and all in the strike now taking place between the men and the patrons; We, moreover.bind ourselves not to agree to the conditions now asked by our men, for any consideration.\\ \u201cWe also agree to help' one another in time of need to complete.any contract, which would put one of our confreres, iu a close call, to his disadvantage.\u201d The foregoing agreement 1s signed by Thomas Mall, John Date,

was taken in the matter.as the town has already voted large sums of money for its improvements and for the encouragement of industries, and there are those who.strongly object to incurring further indebtedness.But the fact that owing to the erection of the Cooper Rock Drill factories at Rodkfield.some hundreds of new residences are imperatively called for in the east end, finally infiu- enced the vote In favour of the loan.Rebuked the Town Council.A few weeks ago.lt was decided in the Town Council of Lachine to reduce the number of licenses to retail intoxicating Mquors by two for the

Mr.A.F.C.Ross, curator, in the insolvency of John A.Bulmer & Co.lumber merchants.The claim of the Beaudry estate was for $7,637.66.under a notarial lease, renewed in 1896 for five years.The curator collocated the estate to the extent of $3,620.96 In virtue of the act of the: Legislature passed.in 1886 limiting the privileges of the landlord in an insolvency case to the arrears for one year, and the balance of rent for -one current year.Mr.Gustave Lamothe, K.C.attorney for the contestant, the Beaudry estate, argued that as the lease was made before the date of the statute, the former law, which gave the landlord privilege for the entire rent provided for by the lease should apply.Messrn Atwater, Duclos and Chauvin, representing the curator.contested that contention.and pretended that the act of 18% applied to any insolvency after that date.This view was maintained by the court.In order to prevent suicides on the Central London Railway.the company has removed the planking at its

NEW YORK, May 7.\u2014Drastic measures for redress are being adopted by the ua- fortunate brokerage firms who fell victims to the collapse of the securities of the Webb- Meyer syndicate and their intention is to relentlessly pursue those who were responsible for their downfall and place the blame where it belongs.Hints of a big financial scandal involving one or two members o the syndicate were freely made yesterday, and it was announced on behalf of Henry Brothers & Co.that unless a full and complete settlement is made the assignees will place the case in the hands of attorneys, who will take steps to obtain redress.There was a general gathering of bankers from out of town ycsterday to investigate the means by which the securities of Webb- Meyer syndicate had been placed in their loans.It is said that in case misrepresentation is discovered when the loans were made civil action also will be instifuted by some of these banks.One positive statement on the question of determining the responsible party in the Webb-Meyer syndicate was made by J.Adriance Bush, assignee of Henry Brothers & Co.He said: In our opinion, there are persons in the deal who are guilty of serious offences.It is our intention to draw proper attention to these at the proper time.The \u2018nature of this attention I will leave in the hands of my attorneys, Weeke & Battle.In the opinion of several firms.who had deali with the Webb-Meyer syndicate as brokers, it is said, Dr.Webb will in all probability make a settlement of the delinquencies of the two firms which have assigned rather than allow litigation which is threatening to begin.HON MR.BLAIR'S STATEMENT.An, officer of the Dominion Securities Company, which controls the Cape Breton Railroad, expressed astonishment that Hon.Mr.Blair, the Minister of Railways of Canada, made a partial denial that the Ca Breton Railroad had been awarded a su sidy.\u201cWe have a document,\u201d said this officer, \u201cwith Hon.Mr.Blair's own signature attached, vouching for the subsidy, and it iw open to inspection to anybody desiring ta look at it.including Hon.Mr.Blair hime self.You will notice that he did not deny the thing flatly.It is a well known fact that under the general statutes of Canada any railroad company is entitled to a sub.sidv of £3.200 per mile by complying with certain conditions.The Cape Breton Railroad complied with them, and it has received proper acknowledgement of the same from Hon.Mr.Blair, with the official seal of his department attached.I may also say that the railroad company was awarded a like subsidy of $3,200 a mile from the Provincial Government, and a part of this subsidy has already been paid to the com- F pris for the report that the company was to receive an additional subsidy and that Parliament has already taken action, or promised to take action, 1 do not care to speak.I am informed that under the statutes any railroad company can obtain an additional subsidy, in case the cost of ite road is more than a certain amount\u2014$16,.000, I think.I believe the Dominion Government agrees to pay one-half of the additional cost, when it is in excess of $16.- 000 a mile.but in to this I cannot at present speak with authority, as 1 have pot the facts before me.\u201d REV.PRINCIPAL GRANT CONTINUES VERY WEAK An Operation on His Right Kidney Yesterday Gave Him Considerable Relief.(Special to the Montreal Star.)

QUEBEC, May 7.\u2014The trouble between the ship-k rers and the Leyland Line at Quebec still remains an open question.Mr.Kenney, president of the Quebec Ship- Labourers\u2019 Benevolent Society, published in the Daily Telegraph yesterday afternoon an open letter, in which he attempts to prove that the prices of Quebec stevedores are lower than those of Montreal.and that the ships of the yland Line were last year loaded here more cheaply than they could be in Montreal, He refers to Messrs.Harling and others as \u201cbirds of passage,\u201d who endeavour to exploit their business here, and if al} does not go well, endeavour to throw the blame on the ship labourers, and ures the latter as a much persecut and misrepresented body.Mayor Parent, having been appealed to by both parties, has proposed that instead of foreign stevedores, a Quebec man he en to load new vessels as an experiment, who should employ his own timekeepers and keep an account of the cest of loading of the vessels in order to dls- cover the actual cost of the same, and to ascertaln where the loss and extra cost nf loading lin Quebec.complained of by the Leyland Line, comes In.He argués that a Quebec stevedore, knowing his men and how to use and to place them.could employ them to better advantage than a stranger could.If this scheme fails, then arbitration is proposed.The proposition fs being considered by the Leyland Line people, Provides for Abdication.NEW YORK, May 7.\u2014There is a clause in the Dutch constitution which is particularly interesting just now, cables the London correspondent of the Tribune.1t provides that if the Queen has a son.Her Majesty shall abdicate in his fasour when he reaches fin élghtéénth birthday.Tf, on the other hand.no child 16 born Within fiv years, the Dutch Parliament has the pow to dissoive the marriage.DEWAR\u2019S SCOTCH is the Whieky of tbe Millions and it le also the royal drink of Royalty by Special Royal Warrant.Warrant granted in 1858 and renewed in 1001 1071 \u2014 - Mrs.de Boucherville, of St.\u2014 \u2018value of having a man of phenomenal frank: wees in the Cabinet.It does more than enliven the proceedings of Parliament;

not because he doubted that the town attorney was fully competent to advise the Council, on the contrary he had the utmost confidence in that officer; but in a rase of such importance he thought the Council should have the advantage of being fully advised and that the opinion of another lawyer should also be obtained before going any further.He moved that Mr.Joseph Bonin, of the firm of Taillon, Bonin and Morin, be re- Quested to give a written opinion as to whether the case should be taken to appeal, The Mayor thought the opinion of the town attorney was sufficient.Councillor Martin enquired as to the pos- Bibility of getting the lights distributed snew, go that a few lamps could he removed from their present positions, where they were not wanted, to the north end of the town which was in comparative darkness.The Mayor replied that pending the lawsuit nothing could be done.The motion was adopted.!

Fraser.once more exhibited his portly form to the House in roof that he had survived the dangers of Ee Ontario campaigning tour: and when Mr.Uriah Wilson sat down so firmly on the seat which the electors of Lennox have provided him with, that it broke beneath his weight and he became unseated without the intervention of the courts.ae a* ae The first item taken up in supply.at the opening of the afternoon sitting, was a vote of $30,000 on account of the expenses of the Coronation contingent.The Minister of Militia stated, in reply to questions from the Opposition, that the force will consist of 600 officers and men, which is twice the size of the Jubilee contingent.There will be 300 cavalry and 300 infantry.The cavalry will consist of 25 men of the North- West Mounted Police, and 25 men of the Strathcona Horse.The balance will consist of representatives of the various cavalry troops, the mounted rifles and the field artillery.e foot soldiers .\u2018be drawn from the various branches\u2019 fantry and garrison artillery, and in addition the Government will endeavour to have representatives of the bearer companies, field hospitals and engineers.as well as of the recently organized army service corps.The average representation of each infantry regiment will be 13-4; which means that the large regiments will send two men and the small regiments will send one man each.The mounted corps will have a representation of four each.The selection of the men will be by the district officer commanding in each district.The staff of officers will conmst of one lieutenant-colonel.two majors, one adjutant and three officers for each hundred men.making 22 officers in all.The contingent will sail from ebec on June 7, and will be mobilized at Quebec\u2019 on May 29 and 30.The pay of the contingent will be the regular militia pay.The British War Office will provide the horses for the contingent, to the number of 300;

and the Finance Minister said if the House would continue in session a little longer he would be able to bring down his supplementary estimates for next year.He suggested that some time be occupied in concurrence to ex te business.The House then went into concurrence, and agreed to a npmber of the committee's resolutions, Mr.Fielding found, however, that he could not 'fulfil his promise to bring his supple- mentaries down, so he that the House adjourn.The journment was moved by the Premier, and the House rose at 11.40.FHT Ta y in the Senate.(Special the Montreal Star.)
