says that the newspaper, the Bessarabyetz, founded by Krui en, a Moldavian, had little eir- culation ti}l it began attacking the Jews, w -he secured the patronage of the Roumanian nobility.He spoke of

days later than it is in this country.The letter, which was dated April 30, says: \u201cThe last day of our b y a great mob rushed in from the surrounding villages, and they etarted to rob and to kill.so that the first day 50 Jews were killed, 200 were so injured that they will probably die, 200 more were shightly injured.About two- thirds of the Jewish property was destroyed and the damage

occurrence.so closely together» of two such aérious tonflagtations as The Ottawa and St.fiyacinthe fires.in this time of drouth an@high winds, raisce a serious question as to whether there are other cities and towns in danger.and whether Montreal may or may not have a fire scourge in store for itself.In conversation with a Star reporter today.a prominent insurance man expres the view that a number of the villages ahd small towns in Quebce were in the same dunger as Ÿt.Hyacinthe bv reason of the drouth, the frame buildings and the lack of good fire appliances to fight them.\u201cThere is little doubt,\u201d he sad, \u201cif the Montreal brigade bad not gone to the aid of the St.Hyacinthe people, the whole of the business ection of the town would hive been wiped out before the local brigade could bave got the flames under con- trol.n \u201cMontreal.aldermen claim they have spent much money on.the fire brigade to bring it up to the standard.and they say it 1s now much stronger than it was when the Board of Trade fire occurred.Still there is much to he done before it possesses the equipment required by the fire under: writers.There are danger spots in Montreal, particularly in the congestion of houses im the east end; atil] the buildings are small there and the fire would be more easily controlled than in the.wholesale section of the city, where the buildings are high and the streets narrow.The stone building is.of course, a great\u2019 protection against fire.but not so cffective as brick.\u201cMontreal has few high buildings over four or six storeys.Besides the modern buildings are built of fire-proof material, which lessens the danger.For instance the present Board of Trade building would not burn as did the old nne, because of its superior construction.\u201d IN AND AROUND THE CITY.PROPOSED FOR MEMBERSHIP.\u2014 Mr.H.G.Niven has been sed for membership on the Beard of e by Mr.P.W.McLagan.INTRODUCED ON yesté introduced on \u2019Change

but to enable AS \u2018aldermen to discuss the pater Tate depasse \u2018intallisentiv and to déal with it fairly, à report shoul certaloly be ordered from the Fidance Department showing the amount: of the entire: prob: that has been made.Montreal appesrs to be the only city on this continent which makes a busi- nesa of velling water for profit and it is doubtful whether under its charter iv has the legal right to engege in any such commercial undertaking.Even if legal the policy of charging high water rates is a very unwise one, The fact that one- third of the electors are disfranchised for non-payment of taxes\u2014principelly taxes\u2014and the fact that thirty-two and a half per cent.of the water rates Jevied upon the poovest class of the citizens cannot be collected, shows how heavily this burden bears upon the people lgast able to bear it.The city\u2019s total annual loss from nonpayment of water rates is $49,405.27, near- Jy all among people paying rentals of $120 or less a year.This means that thousands of poor families have been harrass- ed, worried, and humiliated over exhor- bitant claims that never should have been made against them.The amounts in each case may be small, from the point of view of the moderately well off, but they are greater than the poor can afford to pay; and they are much greater than people of the same clase are expected to pay in other cities.It is not, however, only the poorest ass of citizens who are fleeced in their water bills.The city\u2019s losses are comparatively small among people paying rentals of $190- but to many of these the annual demand for water rates is a serious burden, as is mapifested by the fact that so many fail to take advantage of the discount There is a disposi water and upwards, for prompt payment.tion at the City Hall to exercise the greatest forbearance towards people who do not mind pleading poverty and practically aek- ing for civic charity.Others must find the: precedure\u2014the system, not Wb officiale\u2014 rather high handed.That there must be a reduction in the rates must,we thiak, be admitted by every one, and the reduction should be, at least, fully equal to the city\u2019s present profit.It 1s high time for the question to be taken up eeriously in the City Council.CONDEMN THE ¢«S8AW-OFF.\u201d Mr.Blake asks that the Gamey Commis sion give the country an expression of opinion on the \u2018saw-off practice.If it be not interfering with a case \u201c\u2018sub judice,\u201d we would like to second this request.It 18 only by arousing public opinion against this eseentially corrupt system of bargaining seat against seat that it will ever be put a stop to; and a strong utterance from this political commission will bave great effect in attracting the attention of the public to the subject.The evidence before the Commision gives a sufficiently cold-blooded account of how the thing ie done.The voters are entirely disregarded.The question of corrupt election practices is not mentioned.A few party men, representing both sides.get together in a room, and decide to let a certain number of members of both parties retain their seats without trial, although petitions have already been entered against them.Nothing is thought of but the relative strength of the parties.They may be foisting a man corruptly elected on the country; they mav be stifling most shocking exposures; they may bo strengthening the forces of corruption on both aides of the Chamber.But these things matter mothmg, =o long as the sacred balance of parties is maintained, and the campaign funds spared.The \u2018\u2018saw-off\u201d\u2019 might easily be used by the corrupt forces on both sides to \u2018keep vil- lanies secret, and no one would be the wiser.It is a danger to the honest electorate, and a disgrace to the nation.Every decent voice should be raised against it.LORD MINTO'S EXTENDED TERM There will be general satisfaction that the term of the Earl of Minto as Governor- (ieneral has been extended for ome year.This 1s a unique compliment to His Excellency; but it is one which he has entirely his opinions or his personality on the people of Canada, he has been as far as possible removed from a dumb and unfeeling figure-head.His public addresses have been instinct with appreciation of the young and buoyant, and yet somewhat impatient, spirit of this new people; and, at the same time, have been consistently loyal to the Imperial spirit which must prove the salvation of the world Empire to which we belong, if it is to be saved.His popularity with æll classes has pel- dom been equalled by his predecessors.Unaseuming and cordial, he has fitted easily into this colonial life, of which, indeed, he had some previous knowledge be- has been equally successful in winning the good opinion of the community; and is now showing in a quiet way her deep interest in philantbropie measures by pushing with such splendid effect the scheme for Cottage Hospitals.Whatever the Imperial reasons for the step which has been taken, it will be very welcome in Canada; and Canadians will sways bope to see His Excellency's eub- eequent career of service to the Empire jewelled with encouraging successes.IMPROVEMENT BY OBSERVATION.a correspondent of the New York Evening Post, writing of General Grant, gives some information regarding him which is at onoe interesting and instructive.The drift of it is that Grant wss a man who grew and developed mainly through the habit of observation and eelf-correction.\u201cHe was a great man,\u201d we sre told, \u201cto notice little things that would escape an ordinary sPpreengion.\u201d When he began his career in the war \u201che was simply A toddy made with Sir John Power & Sons famous * Three Swallows\u201d Irish Whiskey is Simply incomparable, In- great favour ia deserved.Whue not in any way forcing | fore coming to us offically.Lady Minte} à fearful speller am: * unkranpitatial agd uncouth in his: expresmions\u2014the kind of man who_wpuld_exasperate.a jurist of a pereon of methodical business training, and make ome ache to order him for a term or vwo to the common schools.\u201d But Grant did better than go to any common school; he went to a private school, and a very private one at that.He was his own school-master.He was sensible of his deficiencies and steadily set himselt to correct them.If, in a letter, he had spelt a word in a certain way, and his correspondent, replying, spelt 1t otherwise, be would notice the fact and correct his own spelling if necessary.In the same way if he had expressed a certain thing awkwardly or loosely and somebody else expressed it better he would at once recognize the better way and try to make it his own.The result was that later in life he possesed a style a little lacking, doubtless, in copiousnss and variety, but admirably terse and expressive\u2014-the style of a man who had learnt to say in correct phrase exactly what he meant, neither more nor less.Through life a similur process of rectification was taking place with him all along this Line.He was never above learning, and he learnt mainly by silent observation.\u2018The method is one which every one might adopt with advantage.cs Arr In an article on the \u201cPosition of Mr.Goldwin Smith,\u201d which ie evidently mean?to be kindly and appreciative, the Toronto News makes the statement that \u201cthere is a general agreement among Canadians that we abjure and abhor practically all Mr.Smith's teachings thar have any influence on practical life\u201d Had our contemporary said \u201cpolitical life.\u2019 many would have assented to the declaration, though a moment's reflection would suggest reserves as to Mr.Smith's attitude towards party politics and bis increasing condemnations of - everything in the form of political corruption.His practical teachings aside from politics, instead of being abjured and abhorred are generally approved by right-thinking persons.He has always upheld personal honour and independence, purity of lie, courtesy, justice.Our contemporary says that, in spite oi \u2018the very, general and strong opposition to his opinions, Mr.Goldwin Smith\u2019s name never fails, in a Toronto audience, to evoke manifestations of respect and regard.This, of course, would not be the case if his teachings on all practical matters were abjured and abhorred.The News speaks also of the \u201ctremendous broadness\u201d of Mr.Goldwin Smith's thought The adjective *\u2018tremendous\u201d is more suggestive of the pulpit than of the sanctum.Mr.Smith 13 a broad thinker; some would, no ldoubt, say too broad.On the other hand, much, of the thought he has been brought into contact with has been narrow in the extreme.The News seems to admit that the standard in these matters is set by the everlasting \u201cman in the street,\u201d who, whatever his practical virtues may be, does not shine as a philosopher, \u2014\u2014 A Military Appointment.Special to The Montreal Star.Ottawa;

T'Ospenhagen, May 22.\u2014Efforts on the part of vhe Danish Royal family to arrest Russian tyranny in Finland have come to smaught, owing to the opposition of certain of the Czar\u2019s advisers.A Star correspondent is able on the best authority to give the following dramatic story of the nego- Nations: !- When the Dowager Empress of Russia, _ Who is the aister of Crown Prince Freder- fck of Denmark, was visiting the Danish Court revently, the Crown Prince, who is married to Princess Louice of Sweden and Norway and follows the events in Finland with great grief, requested the Dowager Empress to use her influence with her] oom, the Crar, in favour of the Finland- ars, when she should return to Russia.Her Majesty undertook to fulfill Prince Frederick\u2019s wishes.But her unpopularity with the influential member of the Czar's - entourage resulted in the defeat of her _ parpose and a marked coolness between and her august son.Advised of the result Prince Frederick, who is the favourite uncle of the Czar, wrote an affec- Sonate and touching message to His Ma- feuty, pleading the cause of the Finns.To appreciate the force of such a communication it should be recalled that Ni- choles and Prince Frederick were bosom __ friends, and that when the Czar was heir - apparent he kept up a Jong correspondence with the Danish Crown Prince concerning Western culture and progress.- Appealing to the intimacies and mutual @ffections of old times Frederick succeed- \"od ip making a great impression on the esind of his Imperial nephew, and for some days it seemed 2s though His Majesty\u2019s attitude on the Finnish question would undergo a change.At this eritical june ture the uncompromising adherents of ab- 1 matin, headed by Pobiedonostzeff, Pro- \u2018Æ eurstor General of the Holy Synod, again mostseff warned His Majesty that he was \u2018about to commit a sin against Providence.He reminded the Czar that accord- fog to the Russian national confession of faith, the greatest blessing in any country was that it should be governed by Russia, and its absolute ruler by divine sight.Nicholas was advised by robie doncstzeff that to deprive -any part of the empire of this blessing would be .wrong and would be certain to entail dis- @strous consequences to the dynasty.The Procurator prevailed and the Czar \u2018wrote \u2018Prinse- Frederick Jeter full of meditations on the divine rights of Kings, Prince Frederick having read the Caar's opistle exclaimed: \u201cIt\u2019s all over, Finland @s à nation will disappear.\u201d MARITIME MEMBERS AND G.T.R.PROJECT.Special to the Montreal Star.Toronto, May 22.\u2014The Globe's Ottawa says: \u201cThe Liberal members of Maritime Provinces at a recent meeting adopted a resolution favouring the eomstruction of a railway to Manitoba by the Government.In the event of the line being built by a private company, they the opinion that provision should be made for the traffic which originated in the west going to Maritime Province in winter for ocean shi ment.© Rete = ministerial representatives from the lower provinces have also taken action to obtain assurances from Mr.C.M.Hays, of the G.T.R., that the pro- transcontinental line shall run the Maritime Provinces as far as Moncton.After the last meeting of the D they drew up a statement em- their opinion that this extension mg of committee, but so far no reply has been received from the al - gx of the Grand Trunk.\u201d general mana BIG NOVA SCOTIA DEAL.Largest Timber Linits in the Province Disposed of.cl o.the Montreal Star.', .deal took place.ja Nova Scotia vas ) y ay, when a syndicate © beaded J.M.Hastings, of Pittsburg and M.W.Teufet, of the same ait , and ing New York and Philadelphia eapitalista, took over the timber mills of E.D.Devison and Company, on the La Have River, Lunenburg, and their tre- lumber areas in four of the west- erm cdounties of Nova Scotia.The consideration wes $1,250,000.The Davison\u2019s busi- peus bas been one of the best in this prov- inoe, © finding a market chiefly in South America.The new owuers pro- to extend this market and also to » other markets consuming a abeaper description of timber.They expect to be able to cut 50 million (50,000,000) to erect pulp > And to create a gigantic at Bridgewater.The properties Ë fl _ yeariy.They propose also hove b bonded for four months.by an_antid tic outbreak in ;

the case, that is very material to Mr.Gamey, but who does not deal directly with, as I understand it, the main matter which is before the commission, and that is this, my Lord: Out of the question whether Mr.Jones was an agent of the Government\u2014I submit he was, whether Frank Sullivan was an agent of the Government\u2014I submit he was;\u2014whether Capt.Sullivan was an agent of the Government\u2014I submit he was;\u2014a well paid agent.Now, besides that, 1 very humbly eubmit to your Lordship that you cannot come to any conclusion against Mr.Gamey without taking into consideration that these men put themselves forward as representatives; these men had meetings with him: these men wrote letters, and he was perfectiy justified in coming to the conclusion that they were representatives, and whether we can trace such an agency es the court would eay would prove the case, this shows what the Government will ash do.That is to say, whatever may be the condpzion ae to the actual position of these Tien, .was justified in coming to the conclusion that they occupied the position that they pretended to occupy.THE CONCLUSION.Now, my Lords, I.close by observations, which it.appears to me to be my duty to lay befôre your Lordshipe.I cannot do that without thanking \u2018very sin- ctrely my.learned friends who are with me, who have, taken the burden of analyzing evidence and putting it into such err have been only their mouth: iece in endeavouring to.presen , às av dons: to-day.But I desire to make before I clgee this general observation as representing mo political party, but representing the people of this province.They consider that the position of a Minister of the Crown should be a vi honourable one, representing as & ister does the Sovereign\u2019 of this world-wide Empire.It is a high \u2018place, and a high position begets a large reeponsibility.The Minister of the Crown is to be measured by no ordinary standard.If your Lordships will observe the \u2018oath which he is bound to take; he is to serve His Majesty the King faithfully, honestly and y; he is to nave regard to the honour of the King, the good of his eubjécts without partiality or affection.He swears that he will be vigilant.diligent and circumspect in all his dealings to the utmoat of his power, will and discretion.After what we bave heard it seems almost a solemn mockery to

is possibility of another strike.There are not lacking indications that within a few hours Montreal mav be in ithe mirlst of another street railway strike.Street, railway officials and street railway enployes, who are making demands are, as a rule, loth te talk strike, and wheu it is Aiggestad they reply that there 13 no strike: amd that the difficulty should not.be reAred to as such.The Street Railway Company.through its pragiders, Senator Forget, has announced that under no ¢éirrumstances will it treat with the men other than for a considermtion of the agreement made last Upon éhis point the president has gone * on r .and against it is the derision of the Union that it must be recognized as such Ik every sense of the term.AN EXFORT THIS AFTERNOON.One more effort is to be made this afternoon to get the president to discuss the questions involved in the demands, but it is no secret\u2019 around committee heudquar- ters that the committee will go to the president with the one idea uppermost in their minds, namely, the Union must be recoy- nized and then other terms than those demanded might be discussed.At present; the arrangement» of the Un: ion are that the mecting will be called for midnight, and that in all probability it will last until after tour in the morning as it will be well on towards that hour when the last of the men van get there to vote.Meanwhile the dty is discussing the outcome of a battle between the employes and the Street Railway and Light, Heat and Power Companjes, and there van be no doubt that the genvral impression is that | the.men.will be badly advised it.they take.the step.; NO SYMPATHY FOR STRIKE.From other cities comes the news of the | failure of such strikes where the public 118 out of sympathy with the movement, jand the fact that these men have made {demands within three months after « set- i thement which was agreed to by ail parties, thas forced the public in general to a deu- |sion to welcome even à crippled service | rather than have the company submut to {the present demands.- That the service will not be completely tied up, even though a seation of the men should strike, wm confidently believed, and so a little walking end a little nding: al little elwotricity, with candles when things are at their worst, is being Jooked forward to.not with pleasure.but with grim de- | termination to bear it.| An interesting feature of the situation, as far as the Street Radwuy emploves are \u2018directly concerned is the dariger they wili itake, in going out, of losing their dates, \u2018er turn, in gomg to work., If they do not answer the call to duty \u2018on any certain morning, their turn 13 for- \u2018feited, and then it is first come, first served.So, therefore.the men who now hoid a turn that suits them feel quite shaky about | giving it up.When a Street Railway official was asked the question to-day as to the losing of turn.he rephed: \u201cMost assuredly they would.We could not afford ta wait for them to come when others might be wait- ng for a postion.\u201d AT UNION HEADQUARTERS: A lot of quiet grinding is being done at \u2018the headquarters of the union in Empire Hall.President Meloche 1s kept busy answering questions put by the men and he does it all good naturedly.] In discussing the situation with a Star reporter to-Aky he pointed out that thore Thad been no publication yet of the fact hat the men have had an increase of only four cents an hour during the past nine years.He says that the men are united in the demands that have been made.TO-NIGHT'S BIG MEETING.The men on the cars and off duty are discussing to-night\u2019s meeting with unusnal interest.They realize that it is being « held at a strange hour, but that is necee sary in order to get them altogether.It ip expected that every regular and «pare Jnan of the road will be there to cast Ins vote as to whether or not he will zo out .rond.atrike.According to the bylaws of the union there must be a two-thirds vote before a strike can be declared.It has therefore been su ed that if the men are dni: ed on the subject both sides should have presentative present all the time to ch the voting as it will, of course, be WA \u2018by secret ballot.MIGHT, HEAT AND POWER COM ; PANY PREPARING.+1 The Montreal Light, Heat and Po-ver À y instituted a comprehensive inaction of all their stations to-day and BR: a

were down at the City Hall: to-dav and every one was Unanimous in the opinion that public feeling would not be with the strikers if they went out again.Ald.L.A.Lapointe thought that before a strike was declared no efforts should be spared by the Street Railway employes to try and settle their difficulties by amicable means.Another strike at the present time would certainly embitter public opinion, and might be disastrous to the strikers themselves, - , It was stated to-day that a special meeting of Council was to be called to consider what would be done under the circumstances.SITUATION ALONG THE WATERFRONT TO-DAY.The situation along the water front is again beroming serious.Tha general uneasiness among the men on the -wharf seems to be increasing., The mass meeting on Sunday afternoon, in Bonsecours Market, to discuss their la*- est grievances, will probably be a pretty hvely one.> The shippers say that they have con tracted with no more dock laboures

reference to the claims of the union men that the bureau men were being favoured: \u201cIt is not accurate to state that 300 out of 350 of our men are at work, and only 1,500 of 3,000 from the union.The three hundred and fifty are men we have under contract from Great Britain, and the 300 to whom we gave work were from that number.We have also about 2,000 men registered here, .who registered locally, and we are not giving them employment.The situation ia that 1500 of the 3,000 union men are at work, while only 300 of 2,350 of our men have been given employment.\u201d FOR \u201cAN AMICABLE SETTLEMENT.Mr.JJ.G.O'Neill, the business nt of the local union wae not at the St.À arys Hall when a Star reporter called, but it w understood he expressed the opinion that the differences between the \u2019longshoremen and their employes would be amicably adjusted.He remarked to one of the men who complained about: being dis trminated egainst that it would e a little time

guilty | of a great crime.| In these words Mr.E.F.B.Johnston, K.C.commenced his address for the defence before the Gamey Commission thi morning.\u201cOn behalf of those whom | represent, the Hon.].R.Stratton.and the Government of the province of Ontario, I would ask your Lordships\u2019 indulgence for a moment and for only one mo- elitists di \"MR.BLAKE WAS BRIGHT.During the progress of Mr.Blake's address on Thursday the court room was well hiled with an interested - audience, who followed tlie arguments of the learned counsel for the prosecution with the keenest interest.There were a large number of ladies present.Mr.Blake spoke in à spirit of good humour and his argument was characteristic, replete with flashes of sarcasm and bright re ferences.As he progressed he hesitated somewhat.and one was inclined to readily accept his statement that he had not spent long in the preparation of his address.A ment to say one word in regard to the personal character of this address.For five long hours my learned friend.who assumes in this investigation the role of the peoples\u2019 protector, made a strong partisan speech, not to the court, but a epeech which fhanifestly was intended to form the text of a great political party, a speech more akin to a political extremist than in accordance with the high duty which my learned friend has assumed, a apcech beginning with imprecation, continued through a torrent of abuse.and ending in praver.: \u201cT utterly repudiate and resent such language being applied to men in high places unless the remarks are warranted by the evidence.For thirty years the Government of this province has \u2018had, and we claim to-day has, the confidence of the people rightly or wrongly.For thir ty year it has been a matter of history that charges along the same line have been made again and again, for thirty years thase charges have not been proved.and it now remains to he seen whether they will be proved in this instance.«My desire,\u2019 continued Mr.Johnston, 18 to get at the truth.When this case was removed from the political arena.taken from the zeal und prejudice of par- tizanship and placed in the hands of vour Lordships, it was done so as not to allow politica to interfere.but with the idea of what the judges would say, what a calm judicial tribune would pronounce ss a verdict.It ix with that object that we have been sitting, it is the desire of every faithful subject of His Majesty in the provmice, it is the objeot of the resolution pdased in the House.the purpose for which your Lordships have been appointed and that alone.If the truth is againat me and my clients.I shall be content to accept the finding of vour Lordshipe without.the slightest uncharitable feeling or ungemerous remark towards my opponents.This is not a nase that should have the slightest.political bias and if I can aid your Lordships in arriving at the truth T shall feel that IT have performed my duty to the best of my ability.\u2019 \u201cI could say a great deal more, but personal respect for my learned friend, regard for his position at the Bar.regard for his age and great ability, prevent me from enlarging on this.I could not gay less.\u201d GRAVE ISSUES.The issue, Mr.Johnston continued.is grave and important, more ao than the political aspect of the parties concerned.rave because a crime charged against a Minister of State and rubveraive of all good Government if such things can happen; important because, if the charges are true, the choice of the people 18 interfered with: important because in this life of imperfection it ie essential that the Ministers of the Crown be abedlu clean.ven.if Mr.Gamey or Mr.Stratton has to suffer, it ought to be the aim of every good citizen that the suffering comes to the proper quarter.SCOPE OF COMMISSION.With regard to the commission and its scope, Mr.Johnston pointed out that it was specific, first, that J.R.Stratton, by payment of $3,000 on September 9, 10 or 11, and of $1,000 on January 29 corrupted the member for Manitoulin; second, by the promise of patronage he vorruprea the member; third, that by the withdrawal of the protest he exercised a corrupt influence, and, fourth, the charge of conspira - I is introdued by reason of a portion of e statement in the House.The ch are of the nature of a cor rupt indictment.Gamey knew and knows to-day that be did not charge any political offence or of parliamentary usa but an offense under the Criminal Code.This is important because of the nature of evidence required to support such charge.If the commission is shorn of parliamentary verbiage, there remains an indictment under which a grend jury might bring in a true bill.The onus of proof is, therefore, or the prosecution.Guilt, therefore, is nôt presumed, as Mr.Blake presumed, bug it must be proved.All thet i» asked is that the case may be tried on that issuer.Blake also stated that the commission bad no power to make « finding.In main-

NOT BOUGHT.There existed a reason why Mr.Gamey should consider Manitoulin firet, so they were provided from \u2018the very first with a good valid reason why Mr.Gamey should give the Government an independent sup- ort, which was all he promised to give.Mr.Gamey did not require to change hi: politics in the line of action he outlined in the Globe interview.All this ery of him being bought as a man would buy a hog was utter nonsense.He was simply going to give the Government that support that it was his duty to his constituents to do.He owed his election not to his Conservative friends, but to the Lib- cral vote that turned the scale in his favour.Long prior to any motive of an ulterior character or of a sivister nature, before he had seen any member of the Govern ment, Mr.Gamey had told Mr.Conmee that he would support the Government, that be had consulted his friends,that they had agreed that it was a very righteous thing to do.There was not alone Mr.Conme's testimony, but that of Arthurs.Long before August 7 Gamey had told Arthurs of his visit to the caucus, taking a gloomy view of the prospects of the colour on proof ry.FHODLHVEULRBIRHL MONDAY'S STAR.The Star on Monday next

win would not have been a candidate.He told Dr.Arthurs then that he would give Whitney his first vote, and then if Ross was sustained he would support the Ross Government.; The man from Manitoulin, Mr.Johnston said, held out the hand and took the bribe and having got it we would have expected a strong support of the Government.But quite the reverse.The first thing he did was to attend a Consera- tive caucus on June 10, with the money in bis pocket.- .The Chancellor\u2014''If he had the money.Mr.Johnston\u2014Exactly, if he had the money and I think we can show if he had it at all he must have had it there.lt does not devolve on us Yo show where the money csme from as long as we cau prove it did not come from us.Mr.Johnston went op te show that after Gamey had received a Bribe to support the Government he weakened in his so-called allegiance.After getting, on September 10 or 11, $3,000 he goes to North Perth in January and makes speeches in favour of Mr.Whitney; that had nothing to do with his plot or scheme.When he gave the Globe interview and as he saye, got $1.000 he afterwards the interview in such a way that it might have been signed by any member of the Opposition.Every bribe he got seemed to drive him farther away from the Government according to his own story.Before a dollar had been paid him he had been stronger in his allegiance to the Liberal party than after he had stretched out his hand and had it filled.\u201cPlace that.\u201d said Mr.Johnston, \u201cbefore any Bench of Judges in the land and ask them to pronounce J.R.Stratton a criminal.No wonder my friend had to resort to invocation as well as imprecation.\u201d THE AYLESWORTH LETTER.Referring again to the Aylesworth letter, of September 10, Mr.Johnston argued that Mr.Gamey's position after that, instead of becoming more strenuous, Wore in support of the Government, became more or Jess divergent.He was taking still more an independent course, after receiving the bribe, than prior to, and within a few days of the alleged occurrence.Before Mr.Gamey succeeds in his story against the Government, he must prove that the Aylesworth letter was miskeading and untrue and deceptive.He must prove that it wae a lie, because on that was the foundation upon which the member for Manitoulin had built his superstructure Mr.Gamey himself was so convinced of that that he had gone intq the box and Avorn that Be letter was tratton in his presence and retumed to Stratton by himself and Frank Sativa as evidence of the unholy compact had entered into.If Mr.Gamey failed to prove that letter was false, that it was not returned to, Stratton as evidence of erime, then his story utt solutely failed.erly and ab- If that letter is innocent, not i from Stratton, and if a wrong motive np tempted to be given by Gamey to it, he wholly discredits himself, and his \u201cevidence is wholly unreliable.That letter in the foundation of Gamey's whole \u201cbuilding \u2014the first connection with the Government, the only evidence if writing which affects Stratton or the Government It was necessary to make it emanate Stratton as evidence of a crime, and that they ware willing to pay $3,000 if he signed.Tt was necessary to show not only that the letter emanated from Sullivan, but, was on his initiative.It was neces sary to show the return of the letter an evidence of an unrighteous compact.Unless he can show that the evidepop of Stratton, Aylesworth, Boland, and is all absolute perjury he can, read nothing in the latter but innocence order to make it corrupt all these witnesses

and honest act, The reasons given in the letter are merel s continuation of the same ressons whic were agitating his mind during the summer of 1902.; so If Gamey bad got the patron he would admit there was eome evidence of à in.The most singular part of it all is that Stratton never wrote except on tober 2.That was in reply to G 8 letter about Boyd and railway passes garding railway\u2019

Street bear on Canadian Pacific is sending broadcast over the country the following unsigned circular.A prominent banker says : \u201cCanadian Pacific Railroad stock quoted at an absurdly inflated price.\u201cIt should not sell any higher than stocks like Northern Securities.Southern R.R.preferred, or Atchison preferred.Canadian Pacific ought to fall to 90, and probably will.\u201cRailroad experts consider $90 a share a very fair price for it.\u201d The general opinion is that the party responsible therefor is short of the stock.The banker is doubtless a myth.is In answer to an inquiry regarding the tion on the stock market of Dominion Coal and Dominion Steel Companies\u2019 stocks, Scnator Geo.A.Cox said that here has simply been within the past y or two a raid on the stocks in the exchanges, which is utterly unwarranted by any in connection with the operations of the companics.The coal om pany has been doing particularly well, and its net earnings are over $150,000 in excess of the correspond period last year, notwithstanding the difficulty in No.1.e steel company had a couple of disappointing months this year, and has experienced a delay in completing ita works; but nothing that was not within expectation as possible to occur in carry- mg out plans of such magnitude.Among the Toronto forenoon sales were : C.P.R.1i8 at 129 3-8 to 130 3-8; R and O.Nav., 190 at 87 38 to 88;

number of the fuctories using covers and boxes 3-8 inch, instead of 1-3 to d-8-inch; bands,.especially on the bottom of the boxes 3-4 to 1l-inch, instead of 2 1-2 inches.The material for these bands, as well as the material for the boxes Is far too thin.The good name of Canadian cheese will be ruined unless something Is done absolutely to stop the use of this class of boxes.There must be thousands

ground is so dry that it is impossible to prepare it properly, and while no indications of the acreage can be given at this time it is generally reported that the usual acreage will be put in.The weather has been very bad, in the early spring too cold and wet and now too dry and hot.In Ohio the ground is baked, and little seed has been planted.The acreage will probably be about the same as last year.In Indiana planting is under way, but weather conditions are unfavourable.Even in the river bottoms where flonds early in the season delayed work.rain is now needed to put the ground in proper condition for planting.In Illinois the acreage will exceed last year, but planting fs greatly delayed.In Iowa and Missouri recent warm rains have benefited the ground, and conditions are now reported generally satisfactory.In Kansas the weather has been cold and wet, and much replanting has been necessary.In Kentucky and Tennessee the acreage is fully up to last year, and in some sections there is an increase, but the crop is very backward.Argentine shipments to the U.K.were 138,000 grs.wheat and $0,000 maize, against 109,000 and 86,000 qrs.respectively the prev.jous week; to the
