We have its own word for it, be- esuse in a bulletin which it prints day by day under the beading \u201cBuild up Can- oda\u201d there is Lhe order addressed to the Government: \u201c \u2018Give the manufacturers, avorkingmen end | farmers of Canada the same kind of as that which has made t the Unitei ort he home of the most prosperous ufacturers, workingmen, and farmer in the world\u2019 \u201cOur ingenuous contemporary.therefore, prapooee to uce taxation by raising \u2018Yes! Strange as it may seem to the Kindergarten class in political economy it ta quite posible to reduce the amount of taxation by raising the rate.A glimmering of this elementary but important truth esems to have already rewarded and \u2018encouraged the Globe's studies, for epvaking of the probable effects of an in- crosse in the tariff it says: one of two things would hap- Eith the resent quantity of ither R Pr ported, i in which case the reve.55,114! 122,073, that the present tariff is not high enough to protect Canadian industry.Our esteemed contemporary is a little astray when it adds, \u201cIn either case the people would be more heavily taxed than they are now, fer it makes very little difference to the individual whether the extra payment called for by the tariff goes in he public purse or into that of the manufacturer.Manufactured articles of almost every description are much.cheaper under the high tanff of the*United States than und.tariff of Canada.A duty of sixty per cent.may keep out foreign comer the low but most certainly will not add sixty per cent.to the cost of the article protected.The selling price is regulated by domestic competition.WILL THEY DO WITH ROOSEVELT?There 1s a strong opinion that next year will see the re-election of President Roosevelt on the Republican ticket.Po far as the situation has yet developed, there is nn strong rival in sight in his own camp.and the Democrats seem.able to dn nothing better than talk of a fourth nomination for Grover Cleveland.Now, nn the supposition that President Roosevelt is re-elected, and that this counta as his second term in the Presid: ency, what 1s the United States going to do with him afterward?He will then be still a very young man.He will be one of the most forceful personalities In American public life, as he 18 now.He will have the invaluable experi: ence that must come with two terms\u2019 service in the White House, and will have got rid of any of that impulsiveness of his strenuous youth which may still cling to him.Probably the United States will not contain a better political leader or a man more fitted to serve the nation in its hign- est office.Yet, if the \u201cno third term\u201d rule 15 Cnforecd, he will be a spiked gun.American ex-Presidents have served the nation in various other capacities; but it was never regarded as more than a phase of dignitied retirement.Having held the first place, there is no other position in the public service which seems fitted to a man whom a stupid rule alone keeps fr aspiring again to the highest seat.It is if Lord Rosebery were now to he offered a seat in Nir Henry Campbell Bannerman's Ministry, or as if Lord Salisbury were to take office under his nephew.It might occur, but, as a rule, a man who has once been Premier aspires to nothing lower.It has not worked out so badly with our Southern neighbours when their ex- Presidents have left the White House to enter the quiet vale of old age.But \u201cTeddy\u201d Roosevelt will still be within touch of that diminutive for his first name.Old age will be so far off as hardly to be thought of in connection with his vigorous manhood.For years and years he will\u2014barring accident\u2014be a prominent and \u201cstrenuous\u201d figure on the American stage.But what will his countrymen do with him?Can they bury him in the Senate?Will they ask him to be Gover nor again?Can they\u2014to put a closer question\u2014keep him out of the White House?The Rough Rider may be the knight whe will kill that *\u2018third term\u2019 dragon.TR WHAT THE CHAMBERLAIN PLATFORM.The great practical value of Mr.Chamberlain\u2019s pronouncement lies in thé fact that it will ecmrpel the aspirants to leadership in the House of Commons, of all paries, to define their attitude -upom the fiscal relations of the Mother Country with the Empire.Hitherto Lord Rosebery has shirked the question; Fir Henry Ban- nerman, Sir William Harcourt and Mr.Morley have, in season and out of season, since the introduction of the corp duty last year, done nothing but denounce the iniquity of \u201ctaxing the peeples food.\u201d The great cry of the he in Britain, ever sine Mr.John! right coined the phrase in 1865 has been \u201ca free breakfast table.\u201d If the Budget speech of Mr.Ritchie on Apri 23 is examined, together with Mr.Balfour's speech to his party at the Primrose league gathering on May 1, it will be seen that there is no real conflict among the most prominent membérs cf the present Cabinet regarding the necessity of revising the fiscal policy of Britain.Mr.Ritchie was quite outspoken in the admission that the corn tax was taken off because \u2018it 18 on a necessary of life, and very readily lends itself to misrepresentation.\u201d Mr.Balfour was equally emphatic in the opinion that until the mass of the people have been educated out of the belief tnac a tax upon food was a \u2018producing better, w to buy bread with, could not coupe, it would be impousible for any ernment .to continue such a tax except in the emergency of war.It is far more probable that, instead of there being dissensions in the Cabinet Mr.Chamberlain, who sat by the side of Mr.Balfour and Mr.Ritchie when the latter made his Budget speech, then and there decided to employ his great powers of popular oratory to break down the working class antagonism to protective duties on food products which they imbibed with their mother\u2019s milk.Any person who knows anything at all - about the conduct of British politics know full well that no such speech as Mr.Chamberlain made -on Friday could have been made without previous reference to the Premier, unless the minister was deliberately making it on the eve of resignation, as was done by the late Earl of Derby in 1875 on the Russian question, by the laie Duke of Argyll in 1881 on the Irish Land question; and by the present Lord Salisbury, when in the House of Commons, in 1865, upon the Reform question.In these columns we have constantly pointed out the accumulation of the signs thai the battle of protection would once more have to be fought out by the British electorate; the question has, by the stand of Mr.Chamberlain, representing the bulk of one of the great parties in the state, become a live one sooner than was expected; but the fight is likely to be quite hardship which improved trade conditions, ada, -Australasiz- and South -Afri ing the new policy.Should preferential trade within the Empire, beuome as urgeut a topic as.federation- there- must be the same give and take.Mr.Chamberlain speaks just as plainly to the masses in Greater Britain as he does to the wage earners and manufacturers of his Birmingham citadel; it ia no use to keep our eyes open as re advantages which à change in British fiscal policy may work for ourselves unless we are practical and sagacious enough to look at the question also from the paint of view of the wage earner and taxpayer in the Motherland: Any family arrangement come Yo in this twentieth century will only be success ful if it is made upon business principles.rt THE FRUIT OF A COLONIAL TOUR Mr.Chamberlain's appreciation of the supreme worth of the colonial matkets followed close upon the heels of his visit to South Africa.Whatever he mav have been thinking on the subject before, he only took courage to speak out boldly in favour of linking the future of the United Kingdom with the development of the colonies after he had seen with his own eyes one of the three great free possessions of the Empire.Had he seen either Australia or Canada, the effect could hardly have failed to be greater.South Africa is probably not so promising as either of tha others, even under normal conditions; and now it must carry the handicap of the recent ravages of war and of a bitter race jealousy.Still South Africa alone was sufficient to convince the Colonial Secretary that a close partnership with the colonies offers Britain her surest path for the future.Hence, what the Empire most eorely needs now x that more of the statesmen, in whose hands rests the fate of the scattered British communities, shall without delay visit the colonies they assume the responsibility of guiding in Imperial affairs.There are too many men prominent in \u2018\u2018home politics\u201d who *\u2018think the Empire still is the Strand and Holborn Hill\u201d: and it is with them a patriotic duty to inform themselves at first hand of the capabilities and requirements of the \u201clesser Britains,\u201d to which they may not be \u201cresponsible\u201d politically, but far which they are heavily responsible Imperially.We hear a great deal about the \u2018Little Englander.\u201d The \u201cLittle Englander\u201d is not the only man who would cut the colonies adrift.He who does not understand the colonies, and who takes no pains to bring his mind in contact with the fact which would enable him to understand them, is at least as dangerous a specimen of this mole-eyed development.Britain has always been a colonizing nation.Her prosperity has always been wrapped up with the growth of her colonies.Any man who takes a part in shaping the politics of the United Kingdom puts his hand to the responsible task of deciding what the policy of Britain shall be toward her colonies.\u201d That he should venture to do this without fully understanding the possible effects of his action, is a foolhardy sort of \u201cLittle Englandism\u201d on the very England he professes to serve.\u2018 No man, after this, should be deemed to have se the apprenticeship which fits him for a leader's place in the Imperial Parliament who has not studied the colonies at first hand.We should have frequent visits from the prominent public men of the Motherland\u2014not burried calls in which we bore them with addresses and railroad them from \u201cocean to ocean,\u201d but serious, studious examinations of the conditions existing in the colonies.Thus there would grow up.in Parliament a generation of leaders who would know the colonies as some sections of the House now know India; and they would be about as ready to think of a future without us as the Ind an experts would be to \u201cscuttle\u201d out of Calcutta.Mr.Chamberlain 1 undoubtedly right in his \u2018thesis that Britain must ally itself with the colonies, or must face the possibility of falling,behind its competitors in the race for commercial supremacy.The three Kingdoms can do great things;

School Union, of London, Eng., is in the city on his way to the west, where he will enquire into the possibilities of successfully locating a large number of young men belonging to that insti tution.; Speaking ta a Star reporter yesterday, Mr.Kirk explained that à great man of the young men belonging to the union found it impossible to secure desirabiv positions at home, and he felt that pos sibly that deficiency might be remedied in the North-West.tter prospects were very often to be found in the new world.Asked as to the view which would be most generally taken in England on the reciprocal trade position taken by Chamberlain, Mr.Kirk replied that it woull likely excite a great deal of hostility.He had no doubt, however, that Mr.Chamberlain would be able to carry the Cabinet with him.The chief difficulty would be in to assimilate all the conflicting forces.Another difficulty would be to determine the nature of the treatment to be accorded the Crown colonies on the | one hand, and the free governing colonies on the other.It was obvidus that India, with her immense population, would have | to be treated individually.LARGER QUARTERS.\u2014Owing to the large amount of blue print work

1807 Sir Wilfrid Laurier offered: to England a preference in our markets, declaring that Canada did not expect to rc- ceive anything in return for the advantages accorded.The Conservatives openly blamed thie conduct of our Prime Minister.They re proached him with having compromised the cause of preference between the dif- rérent parts of the Empire, for which chey had fought for several years.Sir Wilfrid and the Liberal party replied that it was impossible to expect anything from Great Britain, whose policy was essentially that of free trade, and who would never renounce a fiscal system love of the.colonies.ince then the Liberal y has changed around.They are averted Yo the idea that the favour accorded to English products harms, our industries without our receiving any advantages.And Mr.Fielding in is budget speech threatencd to abolish this preference which gave us no compensation.Last Friday Mr.Chamberlain delivered A great speech in Birmingham in which understood that perhaps the time \u2018had come for Great Britain to-mo- dify be application of free trade in a manner accord a al preference to colonial products, without affecting the principle.Without doubt there is a long road to travel between the words of Mr.Chamberlain and the application of a policy, which he permits us to see may some time in the future be that of the Government.But the speech of the Colonial Minister does not indicate less than that there exists in England a strong feeling in fa- sour of the establishment of more inci- commercial relations betw ing- Jand and the colonies.tween Eng : e organs of Sir Wilfrid i that this is the fruit of the preforms gra aitously accorded England five years We believe that i i contrary hat the truth is quite tha _\u2014 JUNIOR

BOOKS.\u2014_\u2014 The Library Committee Was Asked \u2018for That Amount Yesterday Afternoon.Mr.J.X.Perrault appeared before the Library Committee yesterday afternoon and made an earnest appeal for assistance from the city in aid of a technical library la connection with the Monument National.He said it was absolutely n - sary that technical schools should be cs- tablished in the city if the young men were to be given proper facilities to fight the battle of life.He mentioned the trad23 that could be taught in a technical school.and also pointed out that the Dominion Government had voted the sum of $10,000 to educate young men in naval matters.It was regrettable, he said, that the Monument Nationale bad not a single volume on naval affairs.He concluded by asking that the sum of $5,000 a year be voted to the institute in question to purchase books on technical matters.Ald.Laporte said that before any definite action was taken on the matter, 1t would be well to see the heads of certain societies that were interested in this subject.Ald.Paquette\u2014\u201cThe city could vote no money to a society without it had control of the expenditure and practically had an oversight over the expenditure.If we vote the money and bave no control over it after it has been voted, we ahall have a Ald.Martineau held a similar opinion.Ald.Ames thought it might be possible to have such a library established; but at the same time the city could not vote money and have no control of its expenditure.He thought it would be a wise thing if a deputation from the St.Jean Baptiste Society, which controls the Monument National would wait upon the committee and fully explain what its pro- Ject was.He said he was very sorry that the city had decided to refuse Mr.Carnegie's offer; and it now behoved the city to try and establish a technical library in the central part of the city.It would have to be started in a very small way, but later it might grow to auch demensions that the city could afford to build a large structure and have a really good public library.He was anxious to bave it understood that if a library was started, no matter how small, the city must have absolute contro] over it.It would never do to hand the control over to any society.If at any time the city desired to move the library into another building should be at liberty to do so.It was finally decidde to write a delegation from the St.Jean Baptiste Society, which controls the Monument ivational, and sec what its views on the subject are.NOT WILLING TO HAVE SALOON IN ITS PRECINTS.While Outremont is willing to throw in its lot with the city, it is not willing that any saloon should be established in its precincts At the meeting of the Annexation Committee, yesterday, Ald.Laporte pointed out that the city had not the power either to refuse or grant liquor licenses, as that power was in the hands of the Government commissionery.He also declared that in any case the le would have the matter in their ands, as licenses in Montreal were obtained by public petition.it | À deputation from Outremont was asked by Ald.Lavalle to accept a proviso |, whereby the city would do its utmost to secure temperance legislation for Outre \u2018mont if it became annexed to the city.The request was not acceptable to the deputation, and it was intimated that the clause saying there must be no hotels in the place must remain in the roposed ment.This was finally a to, but e city attorneys will be asked if such a, clause can legally be accepted by the corporation.* WANT TELEPHONES ON THE ISLAND.At the

A DEPRESSION IN FREIGHT But This Will Be Improved Provided Outlook for Big Crop is Favourable.There has been ua slight depression in the freight busmess for eighteen months, but the situation is no worse now than it was at any time during that period.\u201cThe difficulty is simply this: There is too much tonnage for the business there is «> handle.How long it will last.it is hard to say.It all depends on the crop proepects.If there is an outlook for a gi wheat harvest, the farmers will let out the wheat they have been holding back, and there will Le an abundant demand for cargo room.But if the crop is likely to be small, why I suppose we will have to wait another year for the improvement we expect.\u201cThe passenger business is, however, good, especially coming to Canada, owing tu the large number of immigrants.\u201d This is the way the shipping situation was summed up by Mr.D.A.P.Watt, of the Allan Line to a Star reporter to- y- \u201cWe have not suffered so much as the United States ports,\u201d said Mr.Watt.\u201cTheir ships have not had auy cattle to carry owing to the embargo because of the foot mouth disease.\u201d The view\u201d taken by Mr.Watt was confirmed by Mr.Cook and Mr.G.A.Ring- land, of the C.P.R.Line.- \u201cIn reference to the passenger traffic Mr.Ringland eaid : \u201cThe western traffic is, of course, the heaviest owing to the rush of immigrants.But the eastward bookings are now in full swing for suloon passengers, and there is quite the usual rush to Europe.In fact.it .was very Little heavier last year, although the corn onation was them an extra mducement to travel.\u201d \u201cThe prosperity in the passenger business has indeed been such as to make up to a large degree for the depression in the freight traffic.\u201cCanada holds the record for immigration, surpassing even the United States.The record is made by the Hamburg- American liner Bulgaria, which left Boulogne on May 15, bound for Halifax.with 2, on board, and which is not yet due.So far as New York is concerned, the record cargo of immigrants was brought by - the Hamburg.American liner Pennsylvania, which arrived there recently with 2,728 on board.At $30 a head 2.800 immigrants mean gross receipts of $84,000 to a steamship for a voyage one way, which will go a long way towards com ensating for, deficiency in freight cargo offerings.\u201cThe present indications are that large parties of Jewish refugees from Russia will keep the traffic to a high point.\u201d AN INCREASE IN RECEIPTS AT THE GENERAL HOSPITAL The Quarterly Meeting of the Board of

days past have been doing a lot of damage along the line of the C.P.Railway track, north of the town.During the early part of the week the Red Brook bridge was burned, which was the cause of a freight engine, which was hnuling a west bound\u2019 freight, plunging down a tifteen foot dump and the burning of four freight cars.The fire, which had started in the northwest side of the track then crossed over and has since been raging in the woods between the railway track and the road to the electric light plant, doing a large amcunt of damage to timber lands owned by Mrs.J.B.Hall & Isadore Augie and endangering the posts of the electric light ne.\u201cThe town has had a watchman on the line, who with great difficulty have protected the electric light poles.The fire has also crossed the road and burned over the woodland between the main road and the river south of Redbrook bridge.If there should be a strong south-west wind it will be very difficult to prevent the: fire from passing over the woodland which extends to the electric light plant.So far sugar bushes have escaped.Instructions to Mr.Preston.Special to The Montreal Star.Ottawa, May 20.\u2014 It is said that in- @ructions have

as requested by Rev.Mr.Barr, but atter his return from inspecting the land, the Department agreed to eet aside the even numbered sections in 17 townships on the condition that he would before the 15th February forward to the Department at Ottawa, the entry fee of $10 for each homestead, together with the names of the settlers.It was made a condition, however, that the homesteads were to be absolutely free to the settler, Mr.Barr not getting anything because he had secured the reservation.Mr.Barr in February forwarded the names \u2018and fecs of so many persons, that of the additional reservation only three- tourths of the homesteads were reserved.the others being left open for Canada and American settlers.When _ pressed for information, Mr.Smart said he had no knowledge of what Mr.Barr's arrangements with the steamship companies were, but he had seen it stated that Mr.Barr received $12,000 from that source.He said he saw no reason why the Barr colony should not succeed.The entry fees made by those members who had left the colony to secure employment, stood to their credit and woul1 be applied on any location they chose to make.The department, Mr.Smart said, can 'now accommodate temporarily 26,000 settlers, and proposed erecting a new building in Winmapeg.MILLIONS OF BRITISH CAPITAL FOR THE WEST.Pulp Industries for British Columbia to Spend Large Sums.Special to

highways or streets without the leave of A THE FRANK DISASTER.\u2014Finding a body.ainst danger to life from e repetition of the great mountain slide of April 29 was issued yesterday by Premier Haultain, of the North-West Government, as a result of a report sent him by R.McConnell and R.W.k, of the Geological Survey,who have been at Frank the past ten days making an investigation of the recent disaster for the Dominion Government.Mc- Connell and Brock completed their labours last evening and left this morning for Ottawa.! Before leaving they were decidedly noncommittal regarding the neture of the re- rt they expect to make.but it has been Rammed that they advised Premier Haul tain by wire that there was momentary danger of another great slide from the mountain by the observations made during their stay at Frank.The geologists ascertained that the most western peak of Turtle Mountain has moved about six inches during the period of their observa- tione.This peak is a massive block of rock, as great in extent, if not greater, than\u2018that which originally fell away.As it directly overhangs the town, there can be little doubt that it would destroy a part of it, if not the whole of what remains.VERY DANGEROUS.Messrs.McConnell and Brock made no secret of their belief that residence in Frank was exceedingly dangerous, but the full extent of their discoveries was not made known until their report went to the Premier.Inspector Davidson, commander of the detachment of Mounted Police stationed at Frank, has received a message from Pre mier Haultain stating the information he had received from the geologists, and directing the inspector to warn all inhabit: ants.Orders were at once posted and the feeling of alarm, which had subsided to a great extent, was renewed.It is just nine days since Frank was re-opened for re- occupancy.During that time business had been quite generally resumed and a considerable number of people had returned, but a few remained there last night.The warning of the Premier fad no sooner been posted than it spread over the whole village.The timid lost no time in heading for the safe side of the mountain.The day has been one of the fiercest ever known in the country.a fact which has added greatly to the discomforts and discouragements of the unhappy residents of | the municipality.whereas the prcvincial legislation said they could do so.There must be a definite decision as to authos- ity.\u2018This Parliament could not delegate its authority if it bad the authority.Mr.Russell did not see wby the Federal | Parliament could not delegate authonty to the Provincial Goverpments as well as to a municipality.| that before the tariffs were chan SERMON ON HOUNT Free Trade, Says Rose- bery Not an Essential System.SHOULD CONSULT COLONIES Rosebery\u2019s Views of Chamberlain\u2019s Proposal\u2014He Suspends Judge- ment\u2014Cautious Speech.London, May 20.\u2014 In a speech at Burn- ley, Lancashire, last night Lord Rosebery, referring to Mr.Chamberlain's speech at Birmingham, May 15, in which the Colonial Secretary made an ap for trade reciprocity within the British Empire said \u20ac colonies ought to be represented in the Govurnment of the jcountry, and that he did not think thet that idea was so impracticable as it was sometimes consider- Lord Rosebery said be did not regard free trade as a part of the \u201cSermon op the Mcunt,\u201d but the question arose whether it would be wise without long and deep consideration 10 change the fiscal system under which Great Britain had achieved her commercial sucress.\u201cWe must consider,\u201d continued Lord Rosebery, \u201cwhether it would be judicious to quarrel with cus tomers who give us two-thirds and possibly three-quurters of our trade in order to oblige customers who gave us a quarter or a third of it.In any case, a conference between British and colonial financial ex- rerts should precede any altération in the ritish fiscal system.\u201d Loud Rosebery dealt with Colonial Secretary ChamLerlain's scheme in a very judicial manner, being careful neither to approve nor condemn it, but, on the whole, showing that he had no great sympathy with it.He said that he would not hastily reject amy scheme for really cementing and uniting the Empire, and it might be oasible that its advantages would counter- lance the disadvantages, but he pointed out that Great Britain already bore the cost of the defence of the Empire; and ther:fore she could not be accused of doing nothing for the colonies.It might be inadvigpble even for the benefit of her colonies lor Great Britain to quarrel with customers who had enabled her to accumulate wealth which enabled her to bear that heavy expenditure.Then looking to the likelihood of the dis contented colonies constantly insisting on modifications in the tariff, Lord Rosebery Sr ki Ka er: Leh DEA THE FRANK DISASTER.\u2014The only cotage left of a row destroyed.Five bodies were taken out of the hole at the end of the house.Mr.Markey pointed out that Mr.Russell was assunung that the provincial legislatures, were creations of the Federal which they were not.He, as far as his company was concerned, would vastly prefer to be under the Dominion Parliament, but he hoped they would not make it necessary for him to go to the provinces &s well.'

or offices from k, as Superintendent Taylor does not believe that if a slide should occur it would reach them.The work of rebuilding the line across the slide is going on, though it has been consi

Case the Ocean Water Would Reach the Other Mines Work is Temporarily.Stopped.Special to the Montreal Star.Glace Bay, May 20.\u2014Late yesterday afternoon, Deputy Inepector of Mines, Jno.C.Cadegan.ordered mining operations to cease for the time being at the Reserve colliery.All three slopes are now idle.Yesterday afternoon work ceused in the main slope which has connection with Dominion No.1 pit.Operations were still conducted in the other two slopes.These are shut off from the main slope by dams.It is said there is only a thin barrier between the two mines.The great water presqure in Dominiop mine may at any time cause this barrier to break.Hence the action of provincial inspector.The barrier may hold.but as salt water has for the past few days been working slowly into Reserve pit, the crash might come at any time, and should labour continue, hundreds of lives might be lost in a moment.It is not considered that the dams built between the slopes would stand the pressure of millions of gallons of water which would be set free.The Dominion fire is not yet extinguished, though by this time the water must have nearly reached the pit bottom.Ocean water is not coming in to-day.Should nothing happen, the suspension of | work will be of short duration.The Reserve is one of the oldest collieries, and produces about 3,200 tons per day from its three slopes.~~ The officials are more confident than ever that fire ie very near being completely out, if not so already.The output of collieries up-to-date has reached that of up to corresponding date last month.THE VICTORIA RIFLES WILL HAVE A BUSY DAY AT BROCKVILLE MAY 25 River Trip and Drill Inspection.Special to The Montreal Star.Brockville, May 20.\u2014In connection with the visit of the Montreal

Addresses Heard\u2014The Annual Reports.Ottawa, May 20.\u2014About fifty members were present at the opening meetings of the Royal Society of Canada from various paris of the Dominion.The president, Sir James Grant, was in the chair.After the roll call, Dr.8.E.Dawson, hon.secretary of the society, read the annual report of the council.which included touching references tu the death oi the following honored members of the society: Sir John Bourinot.Dr.Douglas Brymner, Hon.Joseph Royal, Dr.Selwyn and Dr.J.A.MacCabe.A practical phase of the report was the motion of the vast power of resources to be found in the many waterfalls of the country and their transmission over long distances and deprecating the wanton destruction of the forests which eauses the drying up of many valuable power streams.A letter from Dr.Bell, suggesting that the triennial meeting of the International Geological Congress held in Ottawa in 1906, was included in the report.It, also spoke of the good work of the superintendent of forestry in the North-West in planting trees and preventing prairie fires and of the increase of agricultural production as a result of the patient researches of experts of the national and provincial experimental farms.The adoption of the report was moved by Dr.Johnson.of McGill University, and seconded by Thos Macfarlane, Dominion analyst.William Wilfrid Campbell, Archbishop O'Brien and Dr.Bryce, of Winnipeg.spoke upon the motion.Before putting the motion, Sir James Grant commended in eloquent Janguage the excellent report read by Dr.8.E.Dawson, and im referring it to the meeting, suggested a vote of thanks to him for the care and energy shown in the preparation of the report, both the motion and the vote of thanks being unanimously carried.Among the delegates present there were registered the following from Montreal: G P.Girdwood, M.D., R.Bellemar, Dr.TJ.W.Burgess, \u2019Abbe (i.Bourassa, Alex.Johnson, R.W.McLachlan, Wesley Mills, H.J.Morin: Quebec, P.Chapais, Casgrain, Ernest Gagnon; Halifax, Arch- bmhop O\u2019Brien.; .The society subsequently met in sections, and heard papers on a variety of subjects.At the public meeting Sir James Grant delivered the presidential address, the subject being brain power and how to preserve it.; A garden party was given in honour of the visitrre at the Experimental Farm Tuesday afternoon bv Mrs.Dr.Saunders.The society has received an invitation to meet in St.John, N.B.next year to celebrate the 300th annivermary of the first settlement in Canada: Annapolis sends a similar invitation.IRRESPONSIBLE JUNTA PLANNED DISTURBANCE.Irish Gallantry Would Not Let Mrs.McBride Be Touched \u2014 Redmond\u2019s Statement.London, May 20.\u2014Jehn Redmond, AL Phas furnished a signed statement con- ¢erning the disorderly proceedi at the meeting of citizens held in the Dublin rotunda Monday night in support of the Irish Parliamentary fund.Mr.ond says: \u201cThe disterbance would have been easily nipped at the outset, but the people naturally shrank from using force to remove Mrs.McBride, formerly Maud Gonne, and other ladies, who led the disorder.After a while these ladies left, and the other disturbers were speedily removed.They consisted of thirty or forty young men who acted in concert.They were roughly and violently treated, which I regretted, but it was impossible to restrain the people.The disturbance was nmckly over, and for two bours after upanimity and enthusiasm prevailed.\u201cLong speeches were delivered.resolutions in conformity with the object of the meeting were unanimously adopted, and large sums were subscribed to the Jrisb Parliamentary fund.On emerging into the street, Lord Mayor Harrington received an enthusiastic ovation.The disturbance was planned by an irresponsible junta in Dublin who are exasperated at the peaceful prospects for Ireland.\u201d WHEN THE WARSHIPS VISIT THE HARBOURS.British House of .Peers Discuss Principle of International Hospitality.* London, May 20.\u2014In the House of Lords yesterday, the Earl of Crewe, Liberal, while interrogating the Government as to under what regulations and restrc- tions the war ships of foreign powers were admitted into British colonial harbours and coaling stations, instanced the recent presence at Colombo, Ceylon, of 11 war vessels of a friendly power and.eaid that if that power had become hostile, Colombo would have been absolutely at the squadron\u2019s mercy.The speaker advocated in creasing the fortifications of coaling stations, pending which the restrictions should be enforced.Lord Selborne, First Lord of the Admiralty, replying, said no restrictions existed.No power forbade the presence of British war vessels in their port.Accord ing to his view, a friendly power should be very accommodating, but if any obstacle was placed in the way of British shipa visiting foreign \u2018 « to fear eventualities under the present principle of international hospitality.COLD STORAGE WAREHOUSE COLLAPSED Special to The Montreal Star.Woodstock, (nt, May 20.\u2014 The Woodstock (\u2018old Storage warchonse collaneed at 7 o'clock this morning.Severz] hundred

Governor of Bes! sarabia.who Has been removed from bis ; post, has been attached to the Ministry of the Interior.It was his inexplicable action which permitted the Kishineff riot to develop into a massacre.He 13 incomprehensible, as he.had assured the Jews, who had warned lym and appealed for protection, that every precaution had bern taken to suppress disorder.Yt when the outbreak occurred the rioters were pers mitted to murder, outrage and devastate without the interference of the authorities except in a few instances where the police officers acted without waiting for instruct tions f their chiefs.In othar cases where the Jews appealed for protection they were told that nothing could be done.; There is much in the action of the Central (iovernment needing explanation.The Kishineff massacre has shown that the: local authorities cunnot always be trusted to protect the Jews, yet in his recent circular Plehve laid down that Jewish clubs of self-defence would not be tolerated.That may be defended on general and political grounds, hut it is hard to find any excuse for the indulgence extended to the anti-Semitic press._ À number of papers whereof.namely the Novoe Vremya and The Sviet Znamya and » the Bessarab Yets, deserve special men tion.They have done everything in their \u2018power to excite hatred of the Jews.The censorship which exercises freely, arbi \u2026 has not

taken against these unfortunate people.But the corresponding freedom of speech 1s not given to the defenders of the ews.Several newspapers have already been punished fof their outspoken comment on tiie riots.The Pravo, for w- stance, one of the leading legal reviews of Russia, received a warning for publishing a signed article of which the following was the only passage whereto exception co possibly be taken: \u201cThe true explanation of the Kishineff riots 13 found in our legislative and admin: \"istrative system, wherein the relations ot the Christian population to the Jews are based, From thas regime's view point the Jew is a partab, 3 being of a lower order, something evil.He can only be tolerated, and_ must be hampered in every possible way.This cruel and brutal way of re garding a whole race finds a sort of indy rect confirmation and recognition in the doniipant regime.Thus it has become possible for a young Mujik who kills a Jew to believe in all sincerity that it 1s not a punishable matter.Undoubtedly the great majority of those participating 1D the Kishineff riots did not anticipate dangerous consequences ta themselves.The avtbor of this article, a well-known law professor and the son of a former Minister, was summoned before the Minister of Justice and censured for these opinions.; One word in justice to the Russian people.They must not be made to share the odium which the horrible Kishineff riots have brought to the anti-Semite agitators and the lucal authorities indirectly.It would be hard to tind a nation iu the world more tender hearted and more tol erant of differences of every kind than Russians.The whole Liberal press bas strongly expressed its horror of the outrages, and many of the clergy, including Father John of Kronstadt, and Bishop Jitomir, have denounced them from the pulpit.Rabbi Landman Wants Jews Brought to Canada \u201cThe massacre in Kischineff will prove to be a blessing to Canada.if our Govern: ment is p to study the

Erect $300,- 000 Building.INVESTIGATION'S - PROGRESS The Explanation Sir Thomas Gives of the Claims of the Company and Government.» -\u2014 Special to the Montreal Star.Victoria, May 20.\u2014 Victorians are rather leased that the special committee of the islaturg insisted on Sir Thomas nessy coming out to give evidence, ° for they took advantage of the opportuni- t Jay before lum a proposition for the ution ofa C.P.R hotel here.This Sir Thomas agreed to, agreeing if a free site and other inducements were offered, to expend $300,000 on a tourist resort in Victoria.; LE Sir Thomas is accompanied on bis visit by Mr.Creelman and Mr.Oswald, of the headquarters\u2019 staff.The evidénce and pa- ers he produced strengthened the (.P.position that the grants of land in question were actually delivered and also that political exigencies, and nothing else, accounted in the first place for the nondelivery of the grants, amd in the second place, for their cancellation.This is the only reason given by Mr.Wells to Sir Thomas .and the request to retain the grants for the month, and the proposal to build to Spence's Bridge, he states, were separate and distinct, and were made at different times.Documents, which the president cabled, contained Brown's report in the matter, including a memorandum nf his interview with the executive and private interviews with Wells.These are disquieting from a ministerial point of view.as they dis close matters which thev withheld.under the plea of not breaking the oath of office.At the exccutive meeting.the ministers of the grants solely because the House would defeat them if they didn't do so.Mr.Dunsmuir also stated that the Government were obliged to correct a wrong.having gone outside their power in granting lands nut- side the Subsidy Act.Mr.Welle said the Government was up against it and this was his juatification for the cancellation.Instead of there heing mames of two members mentioned as being in the deal, it is now said to be proved by Rrown's statement of his interview with the executive, that it wn: two ministers who were concerned.Wellt also told Brown that Sir Thomas Shaughnessy told him that if to deliver the grants meant the defeat of the Government he did not want them.This Sir Thomas strenuously denied.DETAILS OF EVIDENCE.With reference to the grants of land, Sir Thomas said he could say but litt'e concerning the negotiations leading up to them.On September 6.1801.ir.Brown wired that grants had been issued.In response to a letter, Mr.Brown wired later that an order-in-couneil had passed, ordering the preparation of the grants.On Beptember 15, Mr.Brown wired, explair- ing the change in the location of the blocks.On November 20, 1901, Mr.Wells called on the witness.and told him he had call ed about the land grants.They spoke on various subjects, and Mr.Wells asked to retain the two Crown grants, so often re: to.The witness questioned the retention of the grants after they had been made out.ind practically delivered.Mr.Wells explained that there were likely to te changes in the cabinet, and that the Government would like to retain the grants for a short time, but promised to deliver them within as month.Next day.Mr.Wells called, and asked for a receipt for| the grapts which he had delivered, and spoke to witness about building the line to Spénce\u2019s Bridge.The witness explained that the road had not paid, and an extension was out of the question.Sir Thomas said he urged Mr.Brown subsequently to try and secure the grants but nothing was done till the following March, when Mr.Brown wired that the grants bad been cancelled without notice, the Government pleading politica) exigency and proposed substituting other lands elsewhere.To this the president replied that under the circumstances the company had no al ternative but accept the situation as it appeared ite acts fw a way which should not be tolerated in a private individual.Afterwards Mr.Creelman adviged that the grants, having bcen duly issued, ac- , & Government could repudiate , \u20ac tua) delivery was not essential, and that the Government could only secure cuncell- ing of the grants by a deed from the Columbia and Western Railway Company.Sir Thomas néver mentioned to Mr.Wells the formation of any company to develop any portion of @he lands covered by the disputed Crown grants.The com- \u2018pany had thought of establishing a coal industry on Lodge Pole Creck, but there was no plan and no question.or intention of forming a land company or alienating any of those lands from the company.He had also heard gossip regarding the formation of a company.but there was positively no foundation for it.Col.Prior did not tell him that there was a ques- TET eet Q0000000000000000000000000; ® SIR THOMAS SHAUGHNESSY STATES THE LAND QUES- Sir Thomas Shaughnessy\u2019s explanation of the British Columbia land question, now being investigated Tefore the Special Commit tee of the Legislature: \"Six years ago the Canadian Pacific secured control of the charter of the British Columbia Southern Railway, and built the railway through the Cgow's Nest Pass, and as a consequence the British Columbia Southern Railway became entitled to the land grant specified in the statute., \u201cThe Provincial Legislature, in 1884 or 1895, I think, voted a land grant to another railway known as the Columbia and Western, for the construction of a line from Trail to Midway, the grant,ko be satis- fied-fronr-the lands'adjacent to the railway line m alternate areas, and any deficiency to be made up of other lands under the control of the Crown, as represented by the province of British Columbia.\u2018 \u2018In 1898 the Canadian Pacific acquired this charter also and built the railway.which thereupon became entitled to the land grant.When the time came to allocate @ the land and issue the patents, the British Columbia Government claimed that a portion of the land in the south-west corner of the province, that had been set aside as a deficiency block for the British Columbia Southern Railway, was rot required to satisfy that company's grant, because there was wuilicient acreage in other blocks without having recourse to this reserve in its entirety.\u201cWhen \u2018the Government was re quired to cede the subsidy lands to the Columbia and Western Company, it was found that it would be \u2018difficult to provide the re quisite area along the line of railway, and negotiations between the company and the Government resulted in the Government issuing patents to the Columbia and Western Railway Company, and patents including the greater portion of the British Columbia Southern reserve that was not given to the latter company for the reasons that 1 have explained.\u201cSubsequently, the Government undertook to cancel some pf these patents in contravention, we claim, to our leg! right to the land, Reas- 0090099090990009096099090090990O00CD09©

not pav any attention to the gossip which reached him, as it was utterly groundless, and did not concern the company in any way.Mr.Brown may have stated In a general way that the report of proposed wrong-doing was one nf the reasons for which the Government introduced the bill rescinding the Crown grants, Mr.Wells had explained that the action nf the Government was due to political trouble.and regretted that the grants could nat he handed over forthwith.He had.told Mr.Wells that the company would stand on its legal rights.and would fight the matter in the courts, and Mr.Wells raid if the Canadian Pacific Railway could convince the Government $ its le- \u2014 5 gal standing, it would be willing to hand over the te.- - Mr.Wells said there were two vacancies in the Cabinet, and it was desirable that these should be filled before the grants were handed over.Witnees said he had assured Mr.Wells that be had no desire to embarrass.the Government, and consented to Mr.Wells retaining the grants on the understanding that they would be delivered within 2a month.Mr.Wells intimated that he desired to be in a position to state publicly that the transaction was not completed, should it be called in question.Mr.Wells hud not delivered the patents at that time.THE MINISTE 'S TRIP.In the ordinary course, those patents should have been delivered to the company at Vancouver or at Montreal, by mail, but instead, a Minister of the Crown went to Montreal with them, and he (Sir Thomas) could bardly refuse that Minister\u2019s request to\u201d withhold them for a time.It was not his nor the

SHIPPING MEN DISCUSS PROPOSITION.\u2018\u2019The shipping men have pot given the matter much consideration, ait Mr.D.A.B.Watt, of the Allan Line, this morning in reference to Mr.Chamberlain's pre- ferntial trade proposed.\u201cThe present preference has not, however, increased our business as much as we expected.The trouble is, it was start ed on too high a basis.If 25 per cent.is prohibitive and you make it 25 per cent.on English goods and 30 per cent.on others, it will not help trade much._ \u201cAs far as Chamberlain is concerned he is in it for politics, and it remains to be seen whether he has judged John Bull \u2018aright.John is a strange creature, and it is bard to tell just how he will go next.\u201cIt would be impossible for us to tell what influence the preference would have till we knew the details and it was in operation for a while.\u201d PROBABLE EFFECT ON CHEESE TRADE.Mr.Arthur J.Hodgson, president of the Board of Trade, spoke freely to the Star to-day, of Mr.Chamberlain's speech, and the effect that Empire trade would have upon the butter and cheese industry of Canada.Mr.Hodgson paid a warm tribute to the Colonial Secretary, as a man with the courage of his convictions willing to stand aloof and proclaim the gospel of preferential trade.There was a time, sud Mr.Hodgson, when Great Britain's neglect of her colonies, and lack of appreciation of their possibilties were a reproach to her.All this had passed away and the Mother Country was beginning to awaken to the importance of her dependencies.\u201cCanada must not think that Mr.Cham- birlain\u2019s proposed Empire trade will affect and interest her alone,\u201d said Mr.Hodgson.\u201cThe proposals laid down by the Colonial Secretary in his Birmingham speech embrace all the colonies.Take the butter and cheese trade for instance.While Canada exports a large quantity of each of these commodities to England, there are other colonies that do a big export business with the Mother Country.New Zealand exports butter in large quantities, and Australia is a great cheese market.It is the same in other articles.\u201d \u201cDo you think Mr.Chamberlain's scheme of \u2018Empire trade\u2019 could be carried out to Canada\u2019s advantage?\u2019 Mr.Hodg- oF Moet cestainly 1 do.\u201d \u201cMost certainly 0, was the reply.\u201cCanada\u2019s export trade to Britain would increase by leaps and .A magni- Chamberlain\u2019s New Policy Much Discussed in City ficent impetus would be given to every manufacture of an export nature.There is no doubt that England realises tbat in her colonies she has wonderful assets, garner houses filled to overflowing with the necessaries she needs.She intends to make use of her colonies more than she has done in the past.and Canada\u2019s gain will also be England's gain.\u201d MR.CHAMBERLAIN WORLD THINKING DEEPLY \u201cThe speech of Mr.Chamberlain HAS SET has \u2018caught on\u2019 in the United States,\u201d said Mr.James F.Purrish, of New York City, to a Star re porter to-day.\u201cThe British Colonial Secretary is regarded by the American people as the most enterprising statesman in European politics to-day.His views and policies are treated with great respect by the people of the United States, and the new scheme of Empjre preference outlined by him in\u201dhis recent speech has set the people thinking of the future.\u201d \u201cWhat is the feeling in the United States in regard to the success of Mr.Chamberlain's \u2018Empire trade,\u201d should his scheme be put into practice?\u2019 Mr.Parrish was asked.\u201cThe general impression is,\u201d was the reply, \u201cthat the time is not yet ripe for»ruch a change in the fiseal poliey of England! Such a state of things may ultimately be arrived at, but it is doubtful if, at the present time, such a radical change would be of a profitable nature to either Great Britain or her colonies.Germany will undoubtedly make a strenuous effort to retain her hold upon the British markets.She has long held sway in r to cheap goods, and will look with disfavour upon any usurping of her rights or poaching upon her preserves.The United States will feel the effects of such a change in the event of it transpiring.Great Britain is to-day the largest market for American goods.\u201d : \u201cThen, in your opinion, the plan is not a feamble one?\u2019 Mr.Parrish was asked.\u201cNot yet,\u201d was the reply.\u201cThe colonies have not advanced sufficiently.However, it remains with the people of England to work out their own trade salvation.In any event Mr.Chamberlain has set the world thinking the last few days.\u201d 640300000000 500066003006 03 955905000000 009006606060

Wm.F.W.Fisher.secretary Burlington Horticultural Association, has just been received.It deals with certain.sections of the Fruit Marks\u201c Act, and criticizes them severely.The circular is in part, as follows: \u201cNoticing that bills to amend the Fruit Marks Act are being introduced in the House of Commons, many fruit growers consider it an opportune time to draw the attention of legislators and the public to some grievances which exist under the Act, and possibly to suggest remedies for some of these evils.\u201cThe beneficial results have been derived principally from section 7 ef this Act, which provides that the face of any package shall be a fair represehtation of the contents, and from clause \u2018A\u2019 of section 4 which provides for the name and address of the packer being placed on all packages.These are the vital points in the Act and constitute within themselves a sufficient safeguard for the public, and with the penalties imposed for infractions a sufficlent deterrent to such packers as may be fraudulently Inclined.; \u201cIn the dying hours of the session of 1902 amendments to the Act were railroaded through the House without explanation or due consideration, and being quite uncalled for either by the public or the fruit grower.The objectionable features of these amendments are principally embodied In clause \u2018C\u2019 of section 4, which arbitrarily demands that a farmer shall grade to a specified standard, which must necessarily vary materially in different sections, and in the ideas of various individuals, and then brand with a fixed mark to designate the grade or quality, which no other class of the community is called upon to do and to which no class but the farmer would submit.\u201cIt is therefore widely regarded as an unwarrantable interference with the fruit growing industry and with the rights of a citizen, and the farmers of the Domin- fon should as one man raise a protest against this injustice being perpetrated on a section of their calling, and resent the indignity thus thrust upon them.\u2018Penalties are provided for failing to comply with all the conditions required and heavier penalties for attempting to do so when the judgment of the farmer fails to conform to that of the inspector.although it bay be the judgment of an experienced and honest packer against questionable, and the firmer is at once branded a criminal without the privilege of trial by jury.Thus trade is reriously hampered by terrorizing the grower who.rather than take the risk of marking his packages and incurring the odium of being fined.is induced to sell his fruit to the speculator much below {ts value or allow it to remain in the orchard.\u201cThis compulsory grading and branding fs not only impossible as applled to all packers under varying conditions, but ft is both absurd and useless.Being the marks of the owner.who Is an Interested party, these marks demanded by the Act would ngt be considered by any court.dnd would, consequently.have no commercial value In case of a dispute between buyer and seller.\u201cThere should he no compulsory grade marks, and responsibility for grades should not rest on the farmer but on qualified and competent inspectors, who should be available to do inspection work when required.and issue certificates as in other lnes of business=these certificates would be final in case of dispute as to quality.\u201cThe Act might in the opinion of many shippers define No.3 or No.à fruit, but 1t should be entirely optional with a shipper whether he has his fruit graded to 8 government standard or not, Millions of bushels of wheat change hands annually without inspection, and when it is inspected the owner does ndt indicate the quality, but the inspector makes his e=- amination and issues his certificate, In such cases the person requiring the services of the inspector pays the established fees.\u2019 Will Decorate Graves.The Daughters of the Empire will, on

St.Paul's: \u2018The following resolution, passed at a meeting of the Council of the Army Guild of the Holy Standard, reached \u201cme by post: ** \u201cThe Council.considered (and stiil do so) that it would be a becoming thing for \u2018the guilld-to have a solemn celebration of the Holy Communion in commem- moration of the members of the Gulld of the Holy Standard and al} soldiers who have died in the war In uth Africa, and that for a guild of communicants It ts the proper service for such an occasion.\u2018\u201c\u2019In view of the excitement (the result of misrepresentation) which, to thelr surprise, has been caused by the proporal to hold the service in 8t.Paul's Cathedral, the Council decide not to avail themselves of the permission that the Dean and Chapter so kindly gave the guild to use the Cathedral for that purpose.* \u201cThe Council further resolve that the intended memorial service shall not Le held.\u2019 ; \u201c1 may take this opportunity,\u201d Dean Gregory continues, \u2018\u2019of adding that considerable misapprehension seems to ex- fst in the public mind respecting this service.\u201cIt may not be generally known that St.Paul's extends its hospitality to no less than thirty societies.who meet an-; nually within its walls.The Guild of the Holy Btandard has met in Bt.Paul's every year since 1578, and this year its héads asked permission to have a service of the Holy Communion in memory of certain members of the Guild who fell in the late war.\u201cThere have béen no less than three memortal services heid in 8t.Paul's for those who have fallen In the war during the last few years which have been welcomed and appreciated by thousands.\u201cThere is notlilng in the form of ser- Vice which was spproved by the Chapter \\of St.Paul's that had not been sanctioned at some time by the Archbishop of Canterbury or the Bishop of London or by long use in the Cathedral.\u201d NEW I.C.R.FOLDERS.\u2014The Inter- colonial Rallway has issued

242, in June, 19%, when there was a severe break In the market.Bince then, however, the lowest has been well above those figures, and not until yesterday did the price go under the level of 131 and

price had a further break to 244.The general impression seemed to be that thera wis not much likelihood of a strike, but so weak was the general market that nothing seemed to stay the sclling.When the market opened brokers were in the position that if there were signs of further weakness it would be necessary in order tn protect themselves, to sell some of their clients\u2019 stocks in view of the rpare condition of many margins.If, on the other hand, the market should strengthen, these accounts could he saved.Had not {he unfavourable news come about the Dominion Coal property there might have been a better tone and an end to the liquidation.It was natural that Dominion Tron should share in the break, and it tauched the lnwest level it has ever struck since it was put on the market, selling at 1944.The preferred broke from 63 two days ago to 524, and the bonds sold down to 0.There was comparatively little liquidation of the two latter issues, but the market was in such an unsettled condition that they had to be offered away down before buyers could be found willing to take them.In the early part of the forenoon there was very little done in Montreal Power, but in the final three-quarters of an hour it became active at 838 to 87, closing at noon at 8714.In the traction issues there was a moderate amount of liquidation, Twin City selling down to 107, Toronto Rails to 103,

transactions.The market for C.P.R.1 ie a tri ar one baving its three points in London, Montreal and New York.The facilities for arbitrary transactions therefore are superior.There was nothinz in the news of enough significance to account for the depression.It was simply \u2018the \u2018reflection of the general pessimism that prevails both in commission houses and professional trading circles.The heavy break in Dom.Coal and Dom.Steel in Boston market forced heavy Canadian liquidation in the local market.It in beginning to look as if pessimism is being carried to the same extreme as the bull sentiment was last summer and prices may ; ; downnmvard to an unreasonable level, just as they were forced beyond reasonable limits eight months ago.Theoretically this purging process is increasing the inherent mtrength of the market's position, though its moral effect upon public sentiment is almost sure to be depressing.George C.Ryan & Co., received the fol: lowing from McIntyre & Marshall, New York, over their private wire: Our market opened at about last ni ht'e final figures, but shortly after the' fall of the gavel the announcement was made that one house had engaged 81.250,000 gold for shipment to Paris Thursday.Foreign Exchange in New York has firmed up to 488} for sterling and unless there is some radical change in foreign inarket would not be surprised to see two or three million gold ga on Thursday.This, coupled with the fact that a great many stock operators bave been caught shart of cotton in the violent rise, has caused heavy liquidation in stocks to protect cotton, and d condition of tl Boston market has caused prices throughout the entire list to suffer greatly.Sales to noon 294,000.Morning Sales.Canadian Pacific, 200 at 130 1-2, 35 zs mat pr yam at 130

at, the time allowed the driver of the unfortunate horse to jump from his rig and escape.These are a few of the pleasant reminiscences of troops acting in æid.of the civil power.The most deplorable phase of the whole affair is, however, that since the troops performed their duty to the entire salis- faction of the D.O.C.the shipping interests and the Board of Trade, and saved this city thousands upon thousands of dollars, that the Council should take the stand they have, regarding their pay.From a soldier's standpoint, and we believe from that of any right minded eciti- zen their attitude to-day is unworthy any body intrusted with the contrel of civic affairs of a city like Montreal.No man enlists for the purpose of ac- quinng a knowledge of aiding the civil rer, or in other words, doing police v.It is the most menial service a let can be called upon to perform.My experience is that the true militia man\u2019s object is to learn something of the art of war and to prepare himself, to some degree, for effective defence of his country.should the necessity \u2018arise.If we glance at the history of the citizen soldier for the past 25 years we find his services have been principally requisitioned in aid to the civil power, and in every cose their services have been eminently satisfactory to the officer commani- ing and to the citizens of the district in wi ich they were called to serve.The effect is very disastrous to the militia from a recruiting standpoint, and the occasion of the \u2019longshoremen's strike will be long felt in the ranks of the different regiments which were called out.Some men have lost their sitions, and others remained on duty knowing the reat inconvenience their employers were ing put to by their absence, and have decided to take their discharge at the end of their term of enlistment.That the city should keep the men out of their pav under these circumstances for one day is very regrettable.Although the conditions rendering the services of the militia ne cessary were very unfortunate the city never spent money tn hetter purpose and the shame of it all is that while the Council argue the point some commanding ofli- cers have personally paid their men, rather than that they should wait the civic pleasure.Should the City Council ist in a contention that they are not Liable nier pay.and conditions requiring the services of the mihtia again develop, would the DD.O.C.be justitied in refusing to cail out the troopa under his command on request from Chief Magistrate?LIEUT.ADMIRALTY COURT WAS IN SESSION YESTERDAY.In the
