Berlin, Marvh 13.\u2014German naval experts declare that the proposed increase of the United States\u2019 naval strength is a much more serious matter for Germany than the establishment of a naval station on the east caast of England.This view is shared by the officials of the Navy Department, who cannot conceal from themselves the fact that America\u2019s enlarged naval programme is chiefly the the result of the disappointing Venezuelan expedition.No authority is permitted to discuss the subject for publication, and there is a complete absence of comment in the press, in obedience to official wishes.Speaking to the Star correspondent today, s prominent naval strategist in close touch with official opinion said: ; \u201cGermany\u2019s danger from the United lies not in the expansion of the American fleet, but in the popular sentiment which has brought about that expansion, We contemplate a powerful American navy with alarm, because of the uses to which popular feeling may at any hour compel it to be put.Recent history has convi Germany that no matter how cordiel the relations between Washington and Berlin,.the real factor in the situation is American public opinion.How to reckon with certainty on that uncontrollable and capricious element fills us with concern.\u201d TO-NIGHT'S ROYAL COURT AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE.(Special by Cable frem the Special Cor respondent of the Montreal Star in London.) : London, March 13.\u2014 The Royal Court in Bucki Palace to-night is the uni versal t of society to-day.The court will be the great social event of the London season.and Lady Strathcoma Strathcona is to satin beautifully hard in chenille, the co \u2018trimmed with old lace and diamonds; the train is composed of costly point de gaze ace.' re \u201cPRICE ONE CENT.Fire Sale.Ladies\u2019 $2.00, $2.50 Slippers, Low Shoes, Boots.Only $f i Ladies\u2019, Misses\u2019 $3.00 and $3.50 Boots an Slippers.Now $1.50, : Misses\u2019 $2.00 Button or Laced Boots.Now $1.00.Bargain Tables, 350, 8500, 600, 780 nd 80.00.ee Men\u2019s $5.50 Enamel or Patent Goodyear.Now $3.50.Men's $4.50 Box Cali Goodvear.\u2018 Now $2.75 toe Tables $50.500, 600, 750.Bargain = - Sc Polish.Now 2 Bottles for 280s - + =\u2014\u2014 OPEN EVENINGS Club Shoe Co., 22443.Gattorine si Opposite Victoria.; Cash Register, Safe, Carpets, Electric Fixtures for Sale.p JOB DEWAR 8 SONS LL DISTILLERS, PERTH, SCOTLAND, ~ Purveyors to the civilized people of all countries by Extra Special popular approval.Everybody drinks Dewar\u2019s | J.M.DOUGLAS & CO, MONTREAL, AGENTS.Bright Light | wee ON | Dark Days RESULTS FROM Luxfer - Prisms F.T.Blennerhassett, At .G.W.Reed & Co.\u2019s Office, 783 Craig Street.Phone No.998.Main.10 cts.Were 25c¢.55224004 (Gas and Electric Shades OVER-STOCIEK ED sa PRICE CUT to clear at once.15 cts.Were - 40c.Call and See Them While They Last.THE SAYER ELECTRIC co.\u201812 and 14 Beaver Hall Hill.EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL: 25 cts.Were 50c.35 cts.Were 75c to 81 THE WEST INDIES J.P William < Van Horpe Join Hands in \u2018 A 1 Cuba.pe Morgan and Sir JHEY ARE NOW IN ., CONFERENCE IN CUBA.When Panama Canal is Opened, Trafic it is Believed, Will Pass Through Island.Bpecial by Cable from the Special Cor- \u2018veepondent of the Montreal Star in Havana.)

Mesesuary Revenus Could Thus be fetured Without Deriving Profit From Water.The Star's exposures as to the excead- à heavy water rates that are chary im Montreal, and as to the disqualification of a third of the entire civic electorate because of imsbility to pay the rates, is arousing much interest in CIVIC circles and throughout the city generally.As will be seen by the following inter: views many members of the City Council think the city is in duty bound to lower the water rates, and to make a profit on other things rather than water.Ald.Carter, a well known lawyer, anid a member of Council, who has given the water rates question much consideration, says: \u2018I think the Star is right in endeavouring to get a reduction of the water rates.It w quite evident the rates, at present, bear very heavily on small housebolders.If it 1s necessary to charge a high price for water those who are using it for manufactunng purposes should be called upon to shoulder the burden.In ro on, the city 1s charging house- olders more for water than what manufacturers are paying.On the Iace of it this.is not just.f know the city badly néeds reventie, but I think the taxes could be distributed in a manner that would prevent the making of a big profit on water.\u201d ADMITS WATER RATES ARE HIGH.\u201cI admit,\u201d said Ald.Ekers, a member of the Finance Committee, \u2018\u2018that the water rates in Montreal are high.At the same time what can the aldermen do to get in sufficient revenue 3n order to properly administer the needs of the city\u201d It\u2018 might be possible to get landlords to pay the water rate and collect the same from tenants.This course is pursued in many cities; at the me tme tenants would be paying the tax just the same but in monthly instalments.1 do not say it is unpossible to remodel the taxes in a way that the city might afford to lessen the price of water.The whole project »s one that would require careful consideration.You see the people are kicking against the condition of the streets, and now we are getting applications from the schools for an increased grant for educational purposes.Nevertheless if we can find a way to reduce the water rates I will as ust in every way.\u201d RATE IS ILLEGAL.Ald.L.A.Lapointe : \u201cCertainly the water rates should be reduced.It is a preposterous thing that the corporation should make a quarter of a million of a profit every year on water.The Star was right when it said that Mr.Roy, consulting city attorney, gave an opinion to the effect the city was committing an illegality in making a profit by selling water.It was I who asked that an opinion be given on this subject.There were other city attornevs who did not concur in the view of Mr.Roy.but I believe he is perfectly correct in his decision.Those who favour the present high water rates contend that a lot of the profit, made on water, has to gn to paying off the interest on the debt for the building of the water works.This sounds all right.but it is only a matter of sound.It is true the debt for the establishment of the water works has not been paiu off vet.But what is the reason?I will tell you.The aldermen instead of taking the huge profite on water and paving off the de ave been spending the money for other causes.I say that if.since the erection of the water works.we had tried to pay off the debt.by the profite which have been made, we should owe nothing for our water plant to-day.Owing nothing for the plant we should be in a position to rell water very cheaplv.If we go on as we have been doing the debt will never be paid off: the result will be the continuing of the big water rates.Just think of disfranchimng an entire third of our citizens because they cannot pay fancy prices for water! The Star is certainly right in its campaign against this injustice.\u201d SHOULD TAX OTHER THINGS.Ald.Nelson: \u201cYes, I think the water rates should be reduced.That the city needs all the revenue rt can get in.goes without saying.What the aldermen should do is to tax certain things which to-day do mod pay a cent of revenue, and which aré taxed in other towns, For instance.it would not be a hardship if a small tax was levied on those who are handling stocks.Why should not a man who is engaged in handling stocks mot have to pay something towards the city\u2019s support the same as the man who puts his money in real estate?I am a business man myself, and know that capital more and more 18 being invested in stocks rather than in real estate; it is a good business move, men like to escape taxation as much as possible.I do not think it would be a very gredt hardship either if there was a slightly increased tax put on real estate.Then, if the revenue 8 to be increased and the water ratea decreased, there should be something done to lessen the amount of ex property in the city.It is no wonder we have not sufficient momey for administration when we are good enough to exempt forty millions of property in the city from taxation.In bref, I think if the taxes were remodelled the city wand be in a position to lower the water rates.THE PROBLEM OF 'ADMINISTRATION.Ald.Lariviere\u2014\"If we reduce the water tax we are at once brought face to face with the problem of how to get sufti- ciegt revemue to administer the affairs of the city.At the same time 1 certainly think the water rates ought to be lower ed.\u201d If any means could be ested showing how we could manage without making « profit on weter I would gladly Tote for a remodelling of the water tax ylaw.\u201d AM.Robertaon\u2014*\u2018It is easy to cry lower the but it is not so easy to suggest means whereby we could do without the rofit made on water.Citizens cry out or clean streets, etc.lf we made as much profit on franchises that have been given out, as other cities do, we should not need to charge ro much for water.may say though that I would like to see the water rates reduced if some feasible plan could be thought out.It might be possible to levy taxes on certain thingy \u2018which go untaxed at the present Ald.Walsh\u2014*]1 certainly would like to vee nt action in the Yaar rates; at presen ar very heavily on e people.In pearly all cities wate is Told at cost; this should be the case in Montreal.I am also of the opinion that it might be possible to make a redistribution of the taxes in a way that would result in making it possible for us to reduce the.of water.\u201d Sadler\u2014\u201cIf an outside company was charging as high for water as the city is there would soon be a big row.In td opinion the business tax in the city low.It might be slightly increased se ae to bring in a la revenue.Real er tate might alo yi more revenue.If the taxes were remodelled I do not think we should need to make #0 much profit on water.\u201d .FIRE COMMITTEE ES SOME BUSINESS.some comments at the Fire Committée yesterday There wire meeting of the afternoon as to the efficiency of the Fire Department, and as to t fire apparatus connected with the deyert- .Some time ago two extra fire engines were ordered.One of these has just arrived.Mr.Champagne, boilèr inspector, stated to the committee that the fire engines mow belonging to the department would give the city a total pumping capacity of 8.000 gallons a minute.n- tinuing, Mr.Cham said: In the opinion of .Champagne the big ines should have an assistent engineer; also thought two engines should pump for the water tower instead of one.A pew captain was appointed to replage Captain Bishop, of No.13, who is retiring May lat.The fortunate man is C.Carson, foreman of No.10 ladder.Fireman Arthur Mann was unanimously promoted to be foreman.A delegation of carriagemakers was heard.They wanted the city to abolish the shops in which the apparatus of the department are repaired and constructed.Chief Benoit was not of this opinion.He informed the committee better work could be done in the shops than elwe- where.The question will be discussed more fully at a Ister meeting.It was decided to purchase 5.000 more feet jof hose.THE NEW SENATOR FROM QUEBEC DISTRICT.4 MR.JULES TESSIER, M.L.A., Who lias heen appointed to the Upper House at Ottawa, WATER TAX IS WARMLY DISCUSSED BY WORKINGMEN.At last night's meeting of the Workingmen's Educational Association the ques tion of the excessive water tax was discussed for a short time, and the general opinion was that the rate charged was meet exorbitant and a great hardship, especially on those who happen to be out of employment during the winter months.Oue of the speakers said that the little children quake with fear when the man comes to turn off the water, and he knew of cases where honest, God-fearing citizens were actually compelled to beg water in order to keep the children from dying as a result of thirst.He thought the charges were about twice too high and, under the present conditions he could see no advantage whatever to the taxpayers in the city owning its own water system.lv was pointed out that Glasgow owns the telephone syste: of that city, and while furn: ing a good cheap service, made a net profit last year of

to The Montreal Star.Ottawa, March 13.\u2014The ice at Dey'a Rink last night proved very much better than ex , but the Rat Portage team as challengers for the Stanley Cup proved a distinct disappointment.They are a big enough team and they skate fast, but they are poor stick handlers and have abeo- lutely no idea of combination and relied almost entirely on individual\u2019 play.In the second half the Ratters showed up much better.and did aggressive, but ineffective work.The Thistles, lined up, is a husky look- in their preliminary skate round, they seemed to handle the puck in good shape.Referee Trihey warned the layers that they must play the game or fe punished.Rat Portage drew and took the puck to Moore, who relieved.Ottawa forwards mede a det i attack Thistlés-played well, but could not hold out the hot attack of the Ottawas, and the four forwards made a spectacular rush, McGee scoring.The movements of the Ottawas seemed far too fast for the visitors and the Ottawa men the body effectively.A combimed rush resulted in Billy Gilmour scoring.A few seconds after, Davy Gilmour easily went through the crowd and scored the game.Ottawa having three to nil.Every time the Ottawas lifted, Brown and Hooper were charged down on, and in spite of a nice run by Griffis and Martin, the Ottawas were not to be denied, and Billy Gilmour scored the fourth for Ottawa.In the next e, McGee made a fine individual run and easily scored.Rat Portage made an effort -and McGimsie got in the best shot they had madelwhich Hutton stopped.The play of the Rat Portage men was only of the moet spasmodic kind, and Billy Gilmour, from a rush, scored the fifth game.A few seconds after, the four Ottawa forwards rushed up and scored the sirth by McGee.Then it at last came Rat Portage way, and Griffis charged down.Moore passed to McGimsie, who ecored, making the game 6 to 1.and so it stood at half time.Ottawa let up at the start of the second half, and Dave Gilmour kad a very sore knee.Rat Portage took advantage of the lapse and McGimsie shoved one in, making score 6-2.Rat Portage continued to rush matters, and McGee went off for offside interference.W.Gilmour and Griffis went off for mixing rt up, and Rat Portage for a tune did considerable work.The Ottawas showing a sign of battle, the visi tors avoiding body checking of the Ottawa defence, but shooting wildly.Moore went off for cross-checking, and the ame improved, Ottawa remaining on the défensive.The visitors made a desperate effort to keep down the ecore, but did not come very near scoring.In a few encounters, however, they, ahowed they could rough # up with the best.With only a few minutes to play.Suddie Gilmour hurt his Jeg and went off, Martin accompanying him.No further score occurred.The teams were : -

the C.A.A.O.Course Proposition.CLUBHOUSE TO BE ERECTED Enthusiasm in St.Catharines Over the Proposal to Locate the Course There.St.Catharines, March 13.\u2014Some months ago erence was made \u2018to the presence in the city of a committee of the Canadian Association of Amateur Oarsmen, who had come to look over the water course between Locks 1 and 2, with a view of selecting a permanent and suitable course for the association.The committee spent much time in looking over different sites in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, but has returned again to St.Catharines.Yesterday Capt.Barker, in company with Messrs.Thompson and McDonald, were in the city, and before returning to Toronto took another look over the local course, and returned with the purpose of recommending it to the association.The association intend to erect a $15,000 boat house about half-way between Port Dal- housie and the city, and it is possible they may ask some assistance from both places.The proposition is to hold a regatta each year, such as is held at Henley, England, and this will mean the bringing of thousands of visitors to the city during the summer.The complaint e against Toronto and other open water courses is that too often the wind prevents the competitions, and as a result of this many American oarsmen refuse to attend the meetings unless there is some assurance that the events may be pulled off.No more suitable site could be selected, and it is to be hoped that every effort will be made to secure the location here of the association.TITUS TO BOW AGAIN.His Expenses to Henley are to be Paid for Him.New York, March 13.\u2014C.8.Titus, the amateur chammon carsman, will be sent to England to take part in the Henley regatta.lt has been decided upon by the board of governors of the

Established.The pews announced ir the Star yester- day to the effect that an attempt will be made to have ssmiprofessionali introduced in lacrosse, no end of talk around town } night.At the M.A.A.A Gymnasium it was about the one absorbing topic of discus sion, and nearly every one agreed that something like that ought to be done.There was only one objection made, probably the first of a great many that will gradually be proposed.This objection is to the effect that if men are paid, the clube in self protection will have to arrange a limit of salaries, because if that 18 not done there will be such a bidding against one another that the very object of the scheme will be defeated.CORNWALL AND THE SEMI-PROFESSIONALS.The Town is Not in Favour of the Change Proposed.Special to The Montreal Star.Coruwall, March 13.\u2014 The projected step taken by Mr.M.J.Foran, of the Capital Lacrosse Club regarding the adoption of the principle of allowing professional lacrosse players to play with ama teurs is being thoroughly discussed in local lacrosse circles, and the measure will certainly meet with the opposition of the | Cornwall delegates when they go to Montreal to attend the annual meeting of the big league.Cornwall can see back of this the scheme which was in part spokem of a year or so ago by ex-President Pittaway, which meant a complete demoralization of the game.The local team has no money to put up as a cash bonus to the players, and if they had they feel that the adoption of Mr.Foran's principle would mean one continuous round of jealousy amongst them.No man who is just a little bit slower, or less of an adept at the game, would care to stand by and mee the other fellows raking in the shekels, while he was playing for the love of the game, and the honour of the play.\u201cIf you are going to introduce professionalism into lacrosse you will have to professionalize the whole team,\u201d say the local sports, \u201cand there is not enough money in the game to bring about this \u20ac .There certainly is not for Cornwall, who will be found on the Opposiiton benches when Mr.Foran brings up his scheme at the annual meeting.President was seen to day, but said he not gone thoroughly into the matter, and wus, therefore, not prepared to offer an opinion, but from what he had read of Mr.Foran's scheme he thought Cornwall would have to vote against it.+ I

Examination Decides to Claim Entire Insurance.SETTLEMENT IN FEW DAYS Two New Steamers of Same Size as Burned Vessel Will be Ordered.Mr.John Bertram, of Toronto, bas, after due examination, come to the conclusion that the hull of the burned steamer Montreal is useless for the purpose of rebuilding, and that he will claim the entire in- surahce, which amounts to something over 44.000 pounds sterhing.The lloyds representatives have completed their examination, and have com- munivated the result of their enquiries to the Lloyds head office in England.A reply and a settlement of affairs 15 expected within a tew dave.Mr.Bertram states that the steel hull of the steamer is eo twisted and warped from the heat as to be practically useless, while the engines, a very expensive proportion of the whole, are rendered unfit for further use.À director of the Richelieu and Ontario Navigation Company stated to-day that the probability is that the y would order two new steamers from the Bertram firm, both of them of the size of the burned steamer Montreal.This time, how- ever- (the experiment of completing the hull in Toronto and bringing them down the rapids would not be attempted.The plan now adopted would be to build the hulls in sections and bring them through the canals.PETITION CIRCULATING IN CONNECTION WITH CHAIR AT M'GILL.A petition is in circulation among the graduates of McGill

September next.àt 36 altogether hkely that a fine new theatre will grace that part of Craig street lying between St.George and Chenneville streets.The new house is to be the home of vaudeville and burlesque, and it 15 expected that it will replace the Roval as the down-town theatre of Montreal.The house will seat upwards of 2,500 people, and will front on Craig street.The stage and gallery entrances will probably front on either Chenneville or St.George streets, or on both.The building will be substantially constructed.and will be equipped with all modern improvements.The plan submitted shows the latest improved idea upon ventilation, which will permit smoking by the patrons of this new theatre.Should the deal be coneum- mated, all of the best vaudeville and burlesque attractions will be booked at this house.The house is to be ready for September 1, 1903.; i The matter is now under consideration by Mesars.Sparrow and Edwards, and the only drawback, at present.to the closing of the deal, 1s the lease which now exists between Mr.Sparrow and Mr.Jesse Joseph for the Theatre Royal.The new theatre will cater to the public at popular prices, and two performances will be given

Bristol as a British receiving and shipping port.is a sufficient guarantee that the Montreal connection will be a very profitable one.Avonmouth, which is really the harbour of Bristol, has been rapidly forging to the front as a port.European cities contain a more enterprising set of business men than Bristo), and they have always taken an especially friendly interest in Montreal.The already fine Avonmouth dock sys tem is to be practically doubled in capacity, at an expense of about $10,000,000, and the new additions \u2014 which are now under way\u2014are expected to be completed in the near future.The railroad connections with London and other great English consuming centres are of the very best.and merchandise is often rent to London much more expeditiously by way of Avonmouth than direct to that great port itself, so that in one sense Avonmouth is a sort of metropolitan suburb to the great metropolis of the world iteelf.Bristol is in itself a large consuming and an important distributing port in respect to Canadian produce of ail kinds\u2014grain, flour.provisions, cheese, pulp, butter, lumber, leather.etc.The Dominion Line are placing in the rervice steamers fitted with

says : \u201cMr.Wamwright, of the G.T.-R., is here, and announces that the G.T.Pacific is completing plans for making Quebec and St.John the Canadian ports of their transcontinental! system.The com- pan ypublished notices here this afternoon that it 1s applying to the Federal Parliament for powers 1n addrtion to these for which notice has already heen given to build a railway line from a point at Quebec to North Bay or Gravenhurst.It is believed here that the (i.FT.Pacific will reach St.John by wav of the proposed Quebec and New Brunswick Railway.INCREASED FACILITIES FOR TRANSPORTATION Shipping Men Discuss Appointment of a Commission.GOVERNMENT'S PROPOSAL Generally Agreed Here That Welland Canal Must be Deepened\u2014Mont- real\u2019s Opportunity.The news that the Government had decided to appoint a commission to inquire into and report upon the various transportation problems which now confront (Canada was received to-day among grain shippers, and transportation men with a far amount of satisfaction, though at the same time they were not inclined to think, as a rule, that any conclusion would be arrived at which would benefit Canada to any great extent.They fear that the commission will not be a unit as to a policy, as hardly any two men who have studied the question to any extent can now be found to altogether agree upon it at the present time.À canvae of men unon the Board of Trade will find one who Ftates that the days of canals 1s over; that they can no longer hold their uwn with railwavs in the transportation of grains or other pro- DIVERSITY OF OPINION.Another will advocate that the canals be deepened, aud still apother will state that the canals are enough a= they are, and that the entire trouble lies with the railway transportation.Still another says that the ships are not properly run from Canadian ports.while the very next will contend that there is nothing the matter with the facilities as they are; the people only need waking up.A well known expert on inland water ways said this morning that to his mind the great need was the deepening of the Welland canal from 14 feet to 20 feet.\u201cThis,\u201d he said, \u201ccould be done for twenty million dollars and would allow of grain carriers of a very large mize coming down as far as Prescott, where the grain would be transshipped into the smaller craft auitable for the lower reaches of the St.Lawrence canals.It would be ure- less trying to deepen the canal below Prescott to twenty feet.and, further, it would not pay to lock the larger Jake vessel further down owing to the necessarily larger number of locks in use.A ROSY CALCULATION.\u201cWith the Welland Canal deepened, 1 calculate the rate from Chicago to Prescott at 11-2 cents per bushel, as against one cent from Chicago to Buffalo.This would place Montreal out of all reach of competition for the rate between Prescott and this city is lower than can ever be expected between Buffalo and New York.The whole trip \u2014 Chicago to Mont- real-\u2014could be made for less than four cents per bushel, while the route via New York would cost anywhere from 25 to 50 per cent.more.\u201d ; This gentleman went on to state that in the event of the Government not feeling disposed to deepen the Welland Canal, then excellent results fould be obtained by building elevators at Port Colborne.Elevators could be erected at this point, with, may.a capacity of four milion bushels and fleets of fine canal carriers, fitted to the present depth of fourteen feet could be utilized, bringing grain into Montreal at a cost which would defy competition from Americans.What was required was steamers with a carrying capacity of, say, 65,000 bushels each, towing two barges of a capacity of 75,000 bushels.The Government, ae announced in the Speech from the Throne, has decided to It will consist, learned, of three mem- One will be a railway expert.and the steamship and mercantile interests also will each have a representative.It is understood that Sir William Van Horne will be the railway expert, and that he will be chairman of the commission.The other two members will be gentlemen of experience, knowledge and wisdom.Inquiry will be made into the best means of providing speedy transportation to the seaboard, and of promptly handling products.so far as can Illness of Robert Doherty._ Robert Doherty, of

club.Campbell.who was on the scene, punched Sixsmith on the jaw.and but for the interference of the other plavers a general hght might have Leen enacted.The crowd shouted ite disapproval of the work of Assistant Referee Hanulton in the second half.Henry, who made a legitimate bady check on Hod Stuart, was ordered to the bench by Hamilton.Henry is one of the smallest players in the league, while Stuart looks more like a \u2018Varsity foothail guanl.and the idea of Tenrv's burting the big Banker weemed ludicrous to the spectators.Henry thought it Was an inju, and for his models he has used the

might be mentioned work by Maurice Cullen, A.R.CA.: William Brymner, R.C.A.; 8.Strickland Tully, R.G.Mathews, M.B.Henderson, and A.8.Brodeur.VENETIAN WATER COLOUR.Mr.Cullen exhibits a pastel water scene, which is particularly gond, while Mr.Brymner has upon the walls a number of pastels and water colours which are worthy of more than a casual glance.Among them is a Venetian water colour, painted while that artist was visiting Venice last year: another is a small head in pastel, and a third.a good siped water colour of a young girl, the same being a pinkish effect.Mr.R.G.Mathews has a full length paste] of the Countess of Minto, a pastel and crayon of Lady Eileen Elliot.a crayon of Mark Hambourg, mussclan, and a pastel of Zelie DeLusson.Mr.Mathews\u2019 work is attracting a great deal of attention, particularly the pictures of Lady Minto, and that of Lady Elleen El- Mot The former shows the Countess in a white evening gown: over which is a blue opera cloak.The likeness is excellent, the pose pleasing, and the workmanship most creditable to the artist The portrait, or rather sketch, of Lady Eileen Elllot, is much simpler.It shows ROAD DEPARTMENT \u2014_\u2014 Tenders

De putes was the centre of great interest and animateiom at the opening of the debate on the religious orders.This debate included the main 1s-ue, the question of the discontinuance of teaching by the religious orders.\u2018 © The matter came up ou a proposition submited by the Premier, retusing the request for authomzation to teach made by 54 male relinous congregations.Abbe Gayraud (Catholic Republican).in his speech asked the (Chamber to te commit to the commission the report that Premier Combe subrutted in support ot his proposition on the ground that the report did not propose any means of as suring an existence to the members of the religious congregations, whom 1t was unjust, raid the speaker, to thus throw on : the streets, many among them being 70.years of age.The Chamber.however.re fused to listen to the appeal, and Abbe Gayraud finally withdrew his mouon.THE CHURCH AND HISTORY.M.Lerolle gave an claboraie history co the role the religious orders had plaved in French history, to the glory of which.eon tended M.lerolle.they had greatly con tributed.The republic was trying to deprive the monks of the means of Living and force them to starvation or expatristion.The Republicans, continued the speaker, were to-dav following the example of the first Republic.They had no other amis tion than that of satisfying party vengeance.If the majority refused to admet discussion on the question.and decided the series of questions which eancerned separate oongregations, bv a single vote refusing authonzation to all congregu- tions, liberty would be endangered.Whale this silence was enforced on the Uonserva- tive members in the chamber, it would force them to appeal to the entire coun try.and that appeal would not be detinite so long as France contained any just men with bold tongues.M.Lerolle's remarks refer Yo the procedure which the Republi cans propose to adopt in dividing the con gregations into three groups, and refusing to allow authorization for each comgre gation to be discussed separately.\u201cTHE NEGATION OF LIBERTY.\u201d \u2018Former Minster Burthou replied on the Republican wide attacking the religious or dere as being the negation ot human lieu ty and the abdication of induidual per sonality.The congregations, he sand, de pended on their chiefs presiding an Rome \u2018The members had no country.By refusing to concede discussion on each individual cane, the Republicans would refuse tn cnn sent to a slow and uncertain manner ot proceeding, which the (ongregations re garded as a torlom hope, and which the democracy would consider to be culpable weak ness.The speakers were warmly applauded hy their respective supporters, and the debate was adjourned.It will be continued later.NEW UNITED STATES CATTLE REGULATIONS.Provisions Against Infected Animals \u2014Canada and Britain Provided For.Washington, March 13.\u2014 The Depart mént of Agriculture announes à new cole of pegulations fur the suppression and ex- tUrpation of contagious and intertious dis cases among domestic United States.The regulations thage of April 15.1597.The new regulatigne require all persons revoke OWAINE.MANAGINE or transporting animals, ! to exrruse reasonable diligence 10 asver- tain that the amimals are not affected with any: contagious or infectious Jdgease, wor ex d by contact with other animals s+ affected, or bv being in pens er vehicles animals in the: + were tried and convicted before Judge Bell, of personation and sentenced to a year in gaol and a fine of $400.;

surprise here if Lord Minto remained in Canada as Governor-General for the full period of six years.The general supposition is that the gubernatorial term is five years, but this is incorrect.thority on constitutional subjects, to whom the question was referred, said: \u201cHow does it come to be generally accepted that the term is five years?I don\u2019t really know, unless it is that the period synchronizes with the duration of Parliament in this country.\u201d _ Whether this be the true reason or not.it is a Tact, at all events, that the ma- dority of Governor-Generals of the Domin- Jo ave held office within the five-year erm : Thus Lord Lisgar, who took office in February, 1869, was succeeded three and one-half years later by the Earl of Duf- ferin, the Marquis of Lorne was Governor- General for scarcely five years, the Mar- mis of Lansdowne assumed office\u2019 in October.1883, and was mucceeded by Lord Stanley of Preston, the present of Derby, in June, 1888.and the latter was succeeded by the Earl of Aberdeen, who was sworn in as Governor-General in Sep tember, 1863 , It was on November 12, 1808, about five years later.that the present representative of His Majesty.in \u2018Canada took office, a fiveyear period would therefore terminate Lord Minto's tenure of affice in November of the present year; but His Excellency's full term would not expire until Novem- r,

Promised Please Every Section of the Empire.Re- Special to The Montreal Star.London, March 13\u2014The.Czar\u2019s manifesto is welcomed as the dawn of a new eras for the Russian people.The St.Peters burg correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says that never since the!enfranchisement of the Serfs in February, 1861, has such jovful excitement prevailed throughout the length and breadth of Russia.The manifesto is the theme of conversation in cafes, restaurants, theatree, concert halls and private houses, Utter strangers stand at th\u20ac street corners and on the public squares and discuss the perspective it ig Lelieved to open up for the future of the people, and the Russian Empire, and numbers of peasants whose wants have been specially considered, are giving vent to rejoicings in extra glasses of Governmental brandy.As in 1861, the many interpretations put upon the present manifesto are hasty, one- sided and erroneous, and months must necessarily elapse before the real practical signiticance of the shadowy outlines drawn by the Ukase can be viewed in their correct perspective.Reform projects have been in the air for a considerable time past, indeed ever since special commiissioners were appointed by the Ministry to investigate the grievances of the peasants, the nobles and others throughout the country.Although grave fears were entertained that at the last moment something might occur to dash these hopes, it was also known that the Finance Minister was strongly in favour of realizing at ence such reforme as the people were ripe for, while the Minister of the Interior had shown himself an undisguised friend of reaction.The manifesto is a general expression of kindly intention rather than a programme of definite reforms.THE SPRINGING OF THE BOLT BY GAMEY.Only- a Few Were Directly in the Secret\u2014Were Conservatives Behind Him?Special to The Montreal Star.Toronto, March 13.\u2014The question now being asked is, did Gamey play his hand alone.- The story that the Conservatives tell is ~ that the first they knew of Mr.Gamey's intention was shortly before 3 o'clock ves- terday afternoon, when he sent a message to Dr.Willoughby, the Conservative whip, that he would like to see him outside the chamber.Mr.Gamey then asked him it he could get the right, and the floor.after the mover and seconder of the address.Dr.Willoughby said he would see Mr.Whitney and ask him.Mr.Whitney said: \u201cWell.what's he going to say.\u201d - : Dr.Willoughby answered that he did not know, but he didn\u2019t think that it would be anything to hurt the Opposition, not while listening to the address.The Liberal members, however.refer laughingly, to the leader of the Opposition's will power for the dramatic.The Liberal members refuse to believe that the plot was hatched by Mr.Gamey alone.and assert that Mr.Whitney, and some of the other leaders must have been behind the scenes all the time.They do not think that all the (onser- | vative members were in the secret for that would have /incurred the chances of dis covery largely.\"One Libera) told the Star that he was informed on Monday that the Conservatives would a the said decimon to delay the by-election, and that they had something sensational that they were going to spring in the House during the session, which would influence public opin- jon to such an extent that all the by-elec- tions would come their way.This gossip represents about the sum total of the information the Liberal's side of the House had es to what was coming.The thought that something might be sprung, but anything so quick and eo serious found them totally unprepared.The Star learns that when Mr.Gamey arose in the House yesterday he did not hold hie secret \u2018alone.The (onservatives had intimate knowledge of the homb be was about to throw and two or three others knew that something rich, from their point/bf view, was coming.Who these members are will come out later.Criticized Minfster of
