city! was wall patrolled by men to look after the hghts, and everything was in the highest state of efficiency.Nobody on the streets could see the slightest indication that the Light, Heut and Power Company had any extra trouble on its bande.At the east end station, about 10 c'uloek at night, a gung of twelve or fifteen men were seen stealing along the rmlwav track bark of Sohmer Park.Their

within half a block of the headquarters of the striking railway men and the Empire Hall.POLICE EXPECTED TROUBLE.The police authorities evidently expect ed trouble here also, for a ) force of police on

St.Catherine, one j i one a little west St.Lawrence, were idly st about, a driver and one pairoiman on, the box.The crowd was comparativel ui except when a car came along, and Street Railway men din uniform, who were on the- sidewalks, seemed particularly careful not to make themselves much no- iced.\u2018 Upetairs in the hall hundreds of their fellows were arranging for the grand procession which was to take place at four.Vehicles of all description were continually posing to and fro along St.Catherine street, and up and down St.Lawrence, and made the work of the po- Lice in keeping the streets clear a god deal more difficult than would have been otherwise case.WATERING CARTS HELPED.At ome stage of the a ome city watering carts gave them t , however, and what the police foot.i.the police on horesback could not effect, that It was Sunday, and there was a Sabbath quiet over all\u2014a quiet that was heighten ed by the absence of the whirr of the trolley along the wire and the bounding of the wheels along the track \u2014 a quiet that was unusual in Montreal.The Sabbath had another result.that had a marked influence on the day's events.\\ Sunday is the sleeping-in day for mos people, and on (hecPing in da | crowds were not up and stirring as early ad they ould have been on an ordinary working av.This was true all over the city, but its effect was particularly noticeable in the downtown section.where the aireets were almost deserted till the sun was nearing 45 degrees above the horizon.When tbe people came out of their homes they turned their footsteps for the most part towards the outskirts of the city, and particularly towards the hills that forms Montreal's defence against the northern blasts of winter and her refuge from the heats of summer.Consequently, except those whose homes were down town, few were on the main streets, where the cars were started, and the most favourable opportunity for a riot Was mi-sed, an opportunity that was not caught up to again till quite late in the afternoon.: VERY Fv WERE PRESENT.Owing to these circumstances and to the wise policy of the Street Railway Company in keeping secret the hour when the\u2019 cars would commence running Sunday morning, there were not more than a couple of score.of people present when the first car backed down to Craig street out of the Chie street barns, and those who were on hand were merely onlookers, apparently interested to see any new thing, ul not interested enough to make trouble, so there was no violence of any kind.A new departure was made in the running of the cars from the St.Henri: bans, two from that district being the first to vome ont.The men who reported there were anxious fo bring out cars, and the officers finally yielded to the

unaware as to its cause, but that made no difference.They were bound to rescue | the man, and they made another \u2018éon- certed rush, but were entirely outwitted by the police.They imagined that the polite would again take the man down the street, but instead of doing so one of the patrol wag gons made a quick dash to the sidewalk, and when the prisoner was hoisted in suddenly made a sharp turn, and rushed up St.Lawrence street, going so fast and taking the crowd so much by surprise that pursuit was almost useless.- T, They soon had something else to think of.too.The street railway employes were preparing to start their procession.A band of some men in uniform and some not was getting together on the sidewalk in front of Empire Hall, and- the men came filing down the stairs, many hie en on mn o'élock when they bet was ut four o'clock when they the crowd accompsnied them on the sidewalk, and a great many men who did not belong to the union apparently, including a couple of coloured gentlemen, joined the , but were gradually weeded out.One or two of those in the ranks at different laces seemed a little the worse for iquor, but they too were sent about their business.As the procession arrived at Lagauche- tiere street there was a sudden cheer and a waving of hats and caps, for down Notre me atrect, along St.> hill, another body of men, the electrical workers, were noticed in compact order.When the two bodies met on Craig street, there was cheering and waving of hats.and then the first attempt at real violence towards cars and passengers and employes at work during the after noon was made.* FIRST ATTACK ON OARS.Two cars were coming east along Craig, and after letting the first car pess, the men of the procession who were nearest the second car tried to stop it while shouting insults at the motorman and those on the front seat.Certain men in the procession who seemed to be clothed with special authority, tried to make them desist, but it was no use.One man threw a stick he carried at a man in uniform on the front seat.The stick broke, but ome piece hit the man it wes aimed at.He got mad and threw it back, and as the ear slowly went on a number of those in the procession and some of the crowd went after it.There were a very, very few policemen at this spot.Thev tried to pick out the men who had thrown the stick.and captured some one, but they were virtually powerless.and had to Jet him go.That seemed to please the crowd, and the disrupted procession continued on its way.They moved along Craig street and up Place d\u2019Armes hill, then along St.James, and from there onto Notre Dame street, near the Court House.At Jacques Car tier equare there was more cheering, W they were joined by probsbly two hundred \"longshoremen.- After that they contmued along Notre Dame street cast.and finally turned up to St.Catherine street While [here were big crowds on the side e procession reached the City Hall, the crowds grew thinner and thinner as they wept further east.There were.go cars running on Notre Dame street, and therefore there was little excitement.At the time that it was largest the procession took about twenty minutes to pass a given point.but by the time the marchers reached Sohmer Park a number of them had fallen out of the | ranks.FIRST VIOLENT Yo ATTEMPT ON CAR AND OCCUPANTS.The first violent attack upon a street car, its occupants and ite conductor and motorman, took place about, five o'clock yesterday afternoon at the corner of Papineau road and St.Catherine street.It was unquestionably the result of allowing the men to hold a procession, which, according to several autharities was illegal, and should have been stopped and broken up by the police before it assumed the large proportions it did.There were three cars going east, and the leader had just crossed Papineau road when the head of the procession met it.The car stopped to take on a pas , and this was the ai for a volley, of stones, pieces of wood, and anything and everything thab the crowd could lay ita hands on.Windows were smashed and the occupants of the car were badly frightemed.; The attack certainly looked serious, and many of the æy they do not want to go through a Lke experience in.4 A Morrison was pulled from the car and forced into line in the procession, but not until he bad bad his head cut by stones and his con- giderably hurt by the pummeling.| The only, who was badly injured was an lady, named Renaud.As she was trying to step from the car she was shoved off by a man, and at the same moment was hit on the head by « stone.She fell to the ground, and was i up by some men snd taken into a corner fruit and candy store.There her wounds were temporarily dressed.When the ambulance arrived un the scene to remove the injured conductor, it was found that Madame Renaud was 80 badly hurt that it was deemed advisable to take ber to Notre Dame Hospital.There the wounds were properly dressed, and she was driven to her home in a Conductor Fox, who was on a car in close proximity to that which bad been attacked, made a desperate effort to, get his car going, but a stone on the h made him desist, and he was glad to seek Wher the victims of the mob were removed to a doctor's office, the procession continued its march towards Empire Hall, a number of the men carrying with them Motorman

Friday morning.The operations of the Canadian Independent Labour Bureau are stated to be the cause of the whole trouble.stated that he had done everything in his power during the week to have the grievanoes complained of remedied.He asked the men to have patience, and he promised.there would be no discrimination between union and non-union men after next week.Mr.O'Neill warned the men of the

had explained the facts to them, Mr.Hugh Allan remarked that it was all a misunderstanding.The shippers further stated that ! have demanded the abolition of the Canadian Independent Labour Bureau.Thia, also, is not in accordance with the facts, es I have made no such demands, but simply requested that the officials of the bureau act in accordance with the agreement, and be not allowed to discriminate against union men, which they admit in their own statément has been done, as the officials of the bureau have sent gangs of men to the ships to displace union men, which is a direct breach of the agreement, whether they are men imported under contract or not.Sir Thomas Shaughnessy and the committee representing the men had a thorough understanding of the meaning of this clause before the committee finally consented to sign the agreement.Sir uThomss Shaughnessy explained that if men were sent down to the ships in gangs it would be discrimination, snd no mention was at any time made of giving any preference to non-union men by Bir Thomas when the agreement was concluded.The shippers, on the other hand, seem to th'nk that they can construe this agreement to suit themsejves, and that by giving preference to bureau men they will compel \u2018union men to sign at the bureau If The shippers claim that while it is true t union men have been laid off to make room for non-union men, this is balanced by the fact that non-union men have also been laid off to make room et aid t require Chat aon uiden ment not require non-uâfor .\"be laid off to fake réom fé \u2018union oh.\"and we have not asked that this be \u2018done.It is the case, it fs becauge the non men were incompetent to do the work, and not because the shippers had apy desire to favour union men.\u201cAn effort is also being made to make the public believe that I am running around seeking technical grounds for further dispute, while the fact ta I was out of the city when the dispute arose, and only returned when wired for.Our men are much dissatisfied with the shippers and the operations of the Independent Labour Bureau, and were, with great difficulty, to remain at work until Sir Thomas Shaughnessy urns next Friday, in whom the men have every confidence, knowing that he will see that the agreement is carried out.\u2019 Last night saw the first of the serious attempts to cripple the electric power supply of the city.the Four of the main Ji carrying high voltage power from ne to the work ; that of experts; no others can handle à task of this kind without coming out very obviously second best.Werd of the depredation resched the offices of Heat, Light and Power Company i br they hed been committed and the work of repair was at once under way.Very shortly the lines were repaired and ory ol i anticipated, and waichfulness in the southwest section of the city was re- de fficials of the i ams oe occurrence Yast ght, mid: HOSPITAL AMBULANCE WAS STONED AND NOT EXPECT TROUBLE.Mr.Willan I Geer, when seen, mid that he had been informed that the fca- Sot ants men > : | I: * At the Oote Streei Stables.There wers sbout 100 men ready to go to work this morning st the Cote street stables at midnight.They were sleeping soundly in cots and car cushions, after fod by cooks % for the occasion ent occasion eight or ten policemen, besides a gumber of men in plain clothes, detectives and the said last avening thet he drone this circumstance to the Ald.Gi roux, the chairman of the Commit- tes.\u201cI do not think,\u201d esid Ald.Lavaliee, \u201cthet the polio are not alive to their duty si ps By on, dl #0 as : of the law.DByt such is not the case.They have no righ to permit idiers » to come together at .I thidke thet TS by Chait Lipase to tot pop bo taken Cine!

the men who struck last February was not cven- an! employe of the company and had been for seven months.At the time thé agrec- t was signd he was a bartender.NO PROPER REPRESENTATION.\u201cIn short, the union claim that no one who had any right to rcpresent them signed an agreement, and they now want ope entered into.\u201c new difference which has occurred between the employes and the Street

injure it.For instance, since the last strike the employes had the right to advertise the meetings of the union.but now the company refuse that privilege.\u201cA last word regarding why the employes

them.Further, it is certain that union men who are new employes will only be half-hearted as far as the welfare of the union is concerned.If we do not suggest this condition or some way we let them

the strike on the street railway.Coming at this particular time, when holiday preparativns were the order of the day.a larger number are affccted than on ordinary occasions.On Baturday there was a feeling of strangeness and quiet about St.Cath- crine street, which 15 usually crowded on Saturday afternoon.Cars passed at unfrequent intervals, and in pairs, as If for mutual support and sympathy.and the pedestrians stared at them with interest and discussed the strike.But thp big shops had reason to feel the strike.To-day, being a holiday, all the department stores had published columns of advertising for \u201cVictoria Day Needs.\u201d Everything had been thought of.The needs of the picknicker.from a muslin gown to a can-opener, had be«h considered, and the pieces plainly announced.It was to have been a dav of big bus!- ness.Instead, it was a very grdinary, rather sleepy day, so far as shopping went.People who lived within easy reach did their shopping as usua!, but \u2018those at a distance, who require to take the cars to get to the shopping belt, postponed their buying.The bargains, to a great extent, dinsh- ed unseen, for they were out of reach of the people east, west and north of the big places.MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE.\u201cYou've no idea of the difrerence it makes to us.\u201d sald a rlerk.\u201cGenerally rn the day before.a holiday the place 1s full, People want to get some little thing to fix up with, if they are leaving town for a couple of däys, but to-day.though we had a good many customers, not nearly what we expected.\u201cIn some departments there was hard!y a customer.\u201d \u201cWestmount people are staying at home to-day.\u201d said one girl to another, This was @ great disappointment to the merchants.who had expected especially large sales.\u2019 Butchers.grocers.and similar dealers did not suffer so much, as a great deal of buying was done by telephone.Among merchants and shoppers alike were heard remarks showing disapproval of the strike.The feeling was that far sheer spoil sports Lhe Street Railway employes would be hard to beat.The cars are never so much in demand as on holidays, and the: strike has spoiled many happy outings.Generally the fine weathet of early summer brings people out by the hündreds to enjoy a trip around the mountain, to some of the many points in the neighbouring country reached by the cars.MOTHERS WERE DISAPPOINTED.Mothers with lttic children go to Fletcher's Fleld or the mountain top to picnic and rest.The 24th of May has always been one of the most popular hoii- days.and for thousands it has becn spoiled.| To-day.instead of thousands.the numbers of hol!day-makers in the cars will only be counted by scores.- It the dav proves hot the people must stay at home, nevertheless, Instead of enjoying the fresh, pure air of the coun- tr~and the sight of trees and grass and flowers.The few cars running will cnly be sufficient to accommodate a few of the many pleasure-seekers.The poor little children are suffercrs, for they cannot walk far.and their parents depend on the cars to take them for country outings.BAD FOR THE FERRIES.This is also bad far the ferries tor there will be few cars to take people to the netglibourheod of the whartes.whence they go to the Island.or Laprairie or Longueull Tajik it a wound, Vitoria 1 > Day of 198 abri probably be well remembered as disappointment, at least to those who stayed in the city.The people from the suburban summer resorts found the strike upsetting on Saturday.Many of them came in for a day's shopping.not knowing .of the strike till they reached town.Then they found it would be necessary to walk from place to place unless they were lucky eppugh to get one of the few cars for part-of their way.Most of them went back to the country feeling declded- ly disgusted with the Btreet Railway men.POSITION OF THE RAILWAYS.The railways did not suffer much.Upon enquiry it was learned that Saturday was a good excursion day.Bugineas was excellent, and great numbers of people came and went.Many went away from Friday night till Tuesday morning.and the railway companies did not feel that they were much put about by the strike.In most of the churches the attendance yesterday was not large owing to the strike.In some cases a small attendance was attributed not only to the strike but to many people having gone out of town for the holiday, and others having already taken up thelr residence in the country for the summer.THE MONTREAL LIGHT, HEAT AND POWER SITUATION.\u201cWe are not at all crippled,\u201d said an otticeal of the Light.Heat /and Power Co.to a Star representative on Sunday night.\u201cIt 15 true that the strike of 150 opera: tunes has interfered with some new work in progress and prospective.But so far as the present demands on hight, heat and power are concerned, we are able to fill them and have reserve force to spare.The whlic will bear me out in this assertion.cause the public is able to

people who waiked or rushed aiter a car and thurg nn Like thies in order to get the much: coveted ride out to their far-off homes.The people in the procession were not provided with banners er badges

was not because the company wished to curtail its gervice, but because none of the men cared \u2018to attempt to tun the cars.even had the company been willing they should, withoût the protection nf at least two policemen.Consequently, the output of cars was regulated by the number of men from the police force who could be detailed to accompany them without interfering with the protection of threatened sections of the city.The same state of affairs, though to a less marked degree, existed at the other stations.Only as many CATs were run Out as could be accompanied by two affi- cers in uniform.The majority of the men now running the cars are being well cared for at the Cote street barns.The company has organized a commissariat department.of which the men speak in the highest praise, and has secured enough spring beds and mattresses to make them comfortable, at night as long as \u2018the strike lasts.After the service was discontinued for the night yesterday, 83 out of those who

England.Then in India and America.England was triumphant and ruled wisely and well; Australia was another country which owed allegiance to the Mother Land and now South Africa was before the eyes of

disappointed by the action of Saturday's stock .market, in which acute weakness develop ed under free outpouring of stocks in liquidation from all quarters.The selling movement gathered force with the progress of the trading, which was most active at the close, and at about the low point of the day.A violent break in United States Steel stocks soon after the opening had a very unsettling effect on the whole list.The trading was somewhat disconcerted also by a large increase in the engagements of sold for export to Argentina on Monday, ringing the total shipments for that date up to $2,250,000.In the early selling there was evidence of support for Pennsylvania, and its come parative steadiness served as a partial offset to the weakness elsewhere.But that stock was among the leaders of the decline at the last, losing two full points.The most conspicuous liquidation, however, was that in St.Paul, which was forced down 31-2 points under enormous offerings, making a new low, record for.the movement by a margin -of nearly two.points.The final prea took the average level of the market to the low record of the year, effectually wiping out the re covery of yesterday and the day before.| The imfavourable criticism of the under writing of the new Pennaylvania stock at the subseription price to stockholders was a depressing factor\u2019 in the gen market.The special weakness of St.Paul was.attributed in part to the s of a threatened strike amongst \u2018he freight handlers «ut.Chicago.The market steadied a moment on the appearance'of the.bank statement prices and

Star's special correspondent in London, published in our imue of Saturday states that the London Spectator condemns Mr., Cham- Lerlain\u2019s preferential trade scheme, sa a gigantic paradox, which after raising false hopes from tropics to pole, will burst and collapse like an ill-filled balloon; and expresses the opimion that the proposal will end in ruining the Empire, and it warns the British people to avoid touching the poisonous plant whose touch is death.As the Spectator ia not to be suspected of a mixed metaphor, we must assune that the \u2018poisonous plant\u201d referred to is not the preferential trade scheme already alluded to as a \u201cballoon,\u201d but something else\u2014probably protection.A great many nations bose touched protection without suffering fatal consequences.However, the Spectator seldom errs on the side of being too mild in ite condemnations, or on the side of not being sufficiently positive in its predictions.Our own impression is that, notwithstanding all that has teen said and written on both sides of the Atlantic on this subject, what both the Eng- ghsh people, and the colonies require is education upon the question from each other's point of view.A man lik» tne Hom.George Foster, speak ng directly to Englieh audiences, would do more to re move the misepprehensions which exist ip the English mind with reference to Canada\u2019s interests and sims than any amount of firing at long range.Incidentally be might also show thet protection is not nearly so poisonous a plant as it is represented to be in commercial travellers\u2019 tales.Then, on the other hand, a visit from Mr.Chamberlain to Canada would be educational for him end for us, If the Mother Country end the colonies could got together in consultation, a host of baseless suspicions would be destroyed.Mr.Chamberlain bas shown considerable political astuteness in coupling together the imperial preferential trade scheme and the proposition to provide governmental pensions for old age and for the deserving poor.By suggesting that the preferential tariff shall provide the money for the pension fund be makes the latter scheme de pendent upon the other proposition.He is perfectly aware that it is useless to en- present them in some concrete form, which will attrect the support of the undreaming public.In asking the British

massacres of Jews in the strocks of Kishemeff, in Bessarabia, Southern Russie, and the later anti-Semitic riots, \u2018of which we have published cable accounts, seemi to have arisen as a result of 8 supposed \u2018ritual murder\u2019 by Jews of Dubossari, where they form a large section of the population.The Jewish Faster commenced on April 12, and a few days before thet date the son of a Russian mys terioudy disappeared; a rumour geined curvency that he had been done to death by Jews for the sake of bis blood to use in sacrificial ceremony; a few days after the body was discovered, but popular hatred hed been thoroughly aroused and the whole province has since been in a fer ment.Vocurring so near to a ephere where the clatmour of \u201cChristians\u201d aguinet the outrages of Mohammedans is being made the pretext for an agitation to promote a Eu- rôpean war, it is rather bumiliating to Christianity at large thet this masesere of Jews seems to be taken so calmly.Christ was a Jow.What standard of Ubristian- ity makes it an outrage upon humanity for a Turk to prosecute a Christian and à minor offence for a Christian to do\u2019 the same by a Jew does not appear evident.Considering that the Jews are a nation without army, navy or a central political government possessing the machinery to bring their claims before a tribubel of tho nations, it would geen an added meanness that their lives and properties should be treated as of such small moment by the loud-mouthed political leaders of Chris tianity in Russia and southeast Europe in particular.The court chaplain of the Jate German Lmperor wae once asked by his old master to give a tarwe exposition of the truth of the New Testament in a sentence if pos sible; it is said that he replied: \u201cThe present position of the Jewish race, sire, affords the proof you ask for.\u201d Cextainly if persecution could have oblit- a people or a religion, the Hebrew sect has borne it to the full, and yet they remain today \u2018a people apart\u201d; scatter ed yet cobesive; without country, capital or cabinet, yet poesessing a distinctive physical characteristic which marks them and an organization which renders them | i the | influentiel, as a power behind thrones, that it is believed more then one European war hes been averted by the aption, or inaction, of their great magnates.Much has been heard of Jewish persecution in Europe during the las fifty years; in May, 1881, there was a massacre near where the present disturbances occurred, and 60,000 Jews asked Russia\u2019s permission to return to Spain.In May, 1800, the enforcement of & Russian edict, pamed in 1882, ordering the expulsion of 2,000,000 Jews, was partly put in force, despite indignation meetings in London and else where.Not hotil 1884 did Jews enjoy the benefits of full citizenship in all the great States, including the United States, dived except in Portugal, Roumania, Russia and Spain.We Canadiane can ecarcely realise that it was only after great parliamentery battles that in 1858 Baron Lionel was allowed to take his seat as an elect ed British M.P.He bad been, with Alderman Solomons, firs: eleoted for London constituencies in 1851, and the struggle for admission listed over seven years, or long: er than the Bradleugh fight.Not until 1723 did Jeww acquire the right to pur chase and own land in England.It was Oromwell who, in 1650, removed a strict edict of banishment which had been in force against Jews for 370 years.In the record of persecutions of Jews by Britein, # is interesting to note, on the authority of Stow, in A.D.1262, 700 Jews were killed in London because one of their fra ternity had charged a Christian more than filly cents per week interest on a loan of five dollars.How amply has Britain made up for in- puma tr towards the Jewish race in days long past, the recent Jegialation of motherland and colonies abundantly 1estifies; probably the-Empire does not contain any sect more loval and law abiding.The eym- pathy extended to the race in the persecution it still endures will be as sincere from - the great bulk of our people as it is for the Christiane who heve to suffer for their religious beliefs at the hands of the dis- diples of Mahomet.The amazing part of these religious cruelties is that the Czar poses as the représentative of the Greeek Catholic Christian-Ohurch\u2014the Little Fath- er\u2014very much as does the Sultan typify Mahomedism.In what degree do their ac tions as \u201crulers\u201d differ ?AR GAMEY\u2019S \u201cPOLITICAL FUTURE.\u201d Mr.Johneton, counsel for Stratton, argues that Gamey decided to support the Ross Government, not because he was bought, but because he had \u201can ambition for a political future.\u201d This is abéut the severest attack upon Gamey\u2019s judgment that has yet been made.Some unkind things were said of him when he departed unexpectedly for Buffalo at a critical point in the enquiry; it is to be feared, indeed, that a short word, indicating a chronic\u2019 condition of folly, was flung at him fairly often.But nothing was even then esid about him which approached this remark of Mr.Johnston\u2019s as a cold-blooded denial of his possession of any common-sense, Imagine a man with \u201can ambition for \u201cThe loaves and the fishes\u201d had not fallen to\u2019 the lot of his

secular professional man | \u2014a lewyer\u2014to ask us to accept the the ory that Gamey thought be was helping his \u201cpolitical future\u201d by betraying his party in the hour of its defeat, and calmly confessing that it was simply because of its defeat that he was leaving it, is to put a very severe strain on our credulity.As a matter of fact, Gamey could not have more surely killed his *\u201cpolitical future.\u201d He was deliberately branding bimself 2a one who cared nothing for good faith, or political issues, or his own public utterances; but whose sole purpose in politics was to be on the side of those who bad \u201cpatronage\u201d to distribute.He might be elected as a Conservative or.as à Liberal, but in any case he would support the party that won.He was \u201cout for the dough,\u201d no matter who had chprge of the bakery.Now to accuse any man of imagining that this was likely to be beneficial to his \u201cpolitical future\u201d is to challenge his sanity.It might be very profitable during his \u201cpolitical present.\u201d He might hope to get something handsome out of it before the electors could get at him again.But it would hardly be an asset when he came to appear before the next party convention, \u2018If Gamey was looking to his \u201cpolitical future,\u201d then bis own story relating how be hoped to trap Stratton and thus reap the glory of putting an end to a carnival of corruption has about the most reason- abue sound.If, on the other band, he was looking to his \u201cpolitical and personal present,\u201d then it is clear that he would not sell out without getting a price for his perfidy, and it is merely a question whether the price wes patronage plus cold cash, or patronage alone.A JAMAICAN REVIVAL.Jamaica has a growing sttraction for Canadians; not only do all who visit the lovely island come back with glowing accounts of the beauties of the scenery its interior affords, but there also seems an incressing prospect that our trade relations with each other may tb» considerably developed.While there was talk of discontent upon the island, and petitions for annexation to the United States, we natural ly fell into the habit of thinking that Jamaice wae ina very bed way.A reference to the official report of the Colonial Secretary shows that last year was one of the most prosperous in the history of the island since the emancipation of the slaves in 1834 so eptirely altered the conditions upon which the trede and commerce of the island .The exports of coffes showed an increase of no lem than 88 per cent.; of oranges, 54 per cent.; of cocoanuts, 47 per cent.; of pimenti, 38 per cent., and of bunches of bananas, 36 per cent.Rum, \u2018old Jamaica,\u201d so long identified with ite name, only increased 17 per cent., while sugar, in the slave-holding days the one mainstay of the planters, remains at its normal very small figure.This revival of prosperity was coincident with the establishment of a Heavily subsi- dived \u2018\u201cTmperial Direct Service\u201d 3 steamers, for which, since February, $100,000 bus been annually paid by the colony and $100,000 by the Home Government.In the discussion going on among the numerous Royal Commissions now hearing evidence regarding food supply, | trade reletions and shipping matters with- | in the Empire, the increased volume of trade resulting from the subsidy granted, in the teeth of æ much opposition from the old Manchester school of free traders, shduld form an instructive item for consideration.Mr.Olivier, the Jamaican Colonia] Secretary, in concluding his report, says that « new spirit and a new hope seem to have been introduced into the island despite the fact that the native Jamaicans have acquired a habit of being rather sorry for themselves and of sending sensational tele grams to the United States and Europe, representing, as Mr.Olivier puts it, \u201cthat we Jive under the shade of Mont Pelee and Morne Garon, and are overwhelmed with volcanic ashes and seethed in boiling springs, that our negro population is in a chronic state of suppressed rebellion, and our commercial and planting classes clamouring for armexation to the United States or Canada.\u201d Jamaica is still an island where the claims of cold or hunger are never press ing; in the keenest days of our wholesome winter it was \u2018sometimes a relief to see that in Jamaica the thermometer was consistently hovering around the seventies.It is gratifying to have such reliable evidence that this fascinating island with its matchless eclimete and unique écenery bas \u201csound prospects\u201d and neither by volcanic disturbance nor internal discontent is at ali Kable to verify the dismal wails of the dwindling band of pessimistic patriots who have too long been a bandicep to ite progress.ES Touring automobiliste can get into Can- aga by depositing the duty on their machine, This duty will be repaid them as they take their vehicles out of the country.It'is to

Fournier's record of B hours.44 minutes.Chas.Jarrott finished second at 1230, having covered the course in 8 hours, 4 minutes.M.Gabriel arrived 3rd at 1.08,his time being hours, 7 minutes.During the afternoon word: of accidents began to arrive and cast a Melds had bean stripped af x HAs .mu = + Settlers Ar TOTTI TY CCE pan ~ A snow, and only on the trails and along the railway was there any sign of the beautiful snow.which was sadly besoiled by the drift from the dark.loamy fields.My seat-rgate on the run down on the \u2018\u2018anadian Northern was a Pincher Creek rancher.He was an Australian, who had been educated as a civil engineer in England.and had worked at his profession on the C.P.R.construction away back in the eighties.He Qarifted\u2019 west ahead of the rail, and married, and started ranching at Pincher Creek.long before the iron rail came thither.He was delighted with his location, and told me he would not clean up for $26,000.; What struck him in the rich wooded prairie we were riding through was the waste.Thousands of tons of straw were piled out on the prairie, where it had | beer threshed, awaiting the torch in the spring.It was his opinion that in addition to growing wheat this country should sustain thousands of head of cattle.They could run out all winter in the wooded lands that abound \u2018here.Those poplar and birch groves make the finest ranges and best shelter cattle can have, he said.Roads could be cut through them, and the cattle fed with hay and cut straw along the roads in stormy weather.Where the woods were not sufficient, cheap shelters could be made, and roof- cd with straw.To his mind, Manitoba wus making a mistake in not devoting mora attention to cattle.Then he became reminiscent of old London town and the Australian sheep runges, and reverting to his rancn at Pincher Cheek he went on to point out that though it was a fine life for his.chlil- dren they were missing much in the way of culture.His brothers children in London were enamoured of the life of the plains from the accounts scnt them by his own little ones.\u201cStill,\u201d he sald, \u2018\u2018they have incomparable advantages in London, with its grand musical and art opportunities, while with us even the grand music of the church is vitiated by rag-time tunes.I hope my children will be able to learn something of the world of culture, art and literature in a great centre like London, as well as the gloriously healthful and free life of the plains.\u201d Coming from Montreal I had had such feelings that there wus much that was crude and elemental in Jife in the west, but hailing from a city that cannot even boast a public library, silence was incumbent on me as to the shortcomings of new cities that have to create everything from the bleak prairie in the space of twenty years or less.The great sucoess of the Mackensie Musical Festivals in the wild and woolly west is in itself an earnest that the people are ready for and capable of appreciating something beyond wheat.For a new country.Manitoba and the west are wonderfully well equip- pod in an educational sense.| : ANOTHER VIEW.1 have just returned from a now and inspiring view of the prairies.During April I visited all the towns along the branch line as far as Sourig, a distance of sème 150 mlles.Buch ad axpanse of J very pwbo, after: working ih the largest .pub- clans 00 1e finely tilled land as it presents should be seen to be appreciated.The snow had all.gone, and.the.sun shone almpst every day from a cloudless sky, such as only June can produce in the east.Everywhere as far as the eye could carry over the gently rolling prairie, men could be seen at work in the fields.On the ploughed land four horses were dragging immense harrows, which worked up the rich, dark, loamy soil lke unto & garden in the east.Behind them came drills, dragged also by three or four horses, which sowed strips twenty feet wide at once.In en- other field, perhaps, were several spans of four horses each walking briskly along with ploughs that turned over two or three furrows at once.' At night the horizon was all aglow with prairie fires, which swept over \u2018the thick stubble of last year's immense crop, or, ronsumed fnnumerabie stacks of straw left \u2018from the last threshing.These fires .are carefully guarded so that they shall not spread beyond bounds, so that there is little of the old time ter- rpr in the picturesque sight After one of these fires the flelds are as bare and clean as the harrowed expanse riear by.and are quickly flopped over by the plough and sown.Just before I came to the city a tender &reeh from the young corn shoots was beginning tp clothe these swelling hills and vast expanses of field, and one was able to gain a suggestion of how beautiful it must be when the green wheat is waving under an Italian sky, such as Manitoba affords all the year round, it would seem.A sight for men and the gods it must be, too, when all these vast fields are white to the harvest, and the click, click of the self-binder is heard all the summer day,.-instead of the piping of the meadow lark, who now carols on every willow and waving wild rice stem.The meadow lark, the robin, the grouse, the prairie chicken, and many other birds, not to mention the festive gopher, make the prairies musical with life and sound these days.It seems a very- paradise for birds, while already the crocus and other flowers give promise of the blaze of colour that clothes the prairies In summer.T7 INFLUX OF IMMIGRANTS.An Inrush of immigration into the wést?Yes, people who stay-at-home in the east can have very little conception of it, indeed.I have

and were disgusted because they did not find farmers at the station to hire them.The ringleader in discontent was a wild scamp, looking like a ship's fireman, who joked coarsely about the cause of his leaving England.He and his chum posted back to Winnipeg the next morning disgusted and denouncing the blawsted country.The others who remained were One thing that strikes one out here Is the mixing up of occupations.In one office in the city regulations were enforced that proved unpopular, and fifteen young men promptly quit work, ten going on land, and five going into other busi- | ness offices, some of them starting into real estate on thelr own account.Twenty families who lived and worked around Ogllvie\u2019's milla have taken up land at Moosejaw.: A young German, who has been a tinsmith at Souris for several years, was leaving to go on to a homestead further West \"YT like being outside, handling horses,\u201d he toid me, \u201cso I think I shall like the farm all right.\u201d Formerly the section men on the rail- WAY wero nearly all Swedes or Icelanders, but one section boss told me in a dis- 1 gusted tone that you could oniy get Douk- hobors or Galicians now.The \u2018Icelanders have prospered and grown, so that they do not have to do such work now.A man sticks at one occupation out here until he can do better, and so there is à constant change going on.Drive out through the country with a man who knows it, and he will ahow you palatial farm houses on fertile farms.the owners of which went on it with a yoke of cattle, 2 stone boat, a tent, and a side of bacon.Most of these men haye grown in taste and culture as well as in wealth, and in many towns one will find them living in dignified retirement in a fine house.One bluff, kindly, old Englishman such

make homes and fortunes for themselves if they are made of the right stuff to endure a little present hardship for future advantage and adapt themselves to the circumstances.There are no hardships now such as the sturdy early settlers had to put up with, but now that they are prosperous and happy they look back on the early struggles with pleasure rather than with regret.As to the question that arises as to what is to be the effect of such a Jarge foreign immigration, the family of a Swedish woman gave me an answer that I think will hold true with the best class of foreigners, at least.Bhe had a large family of bright young children, and they spoke English so well that one would not know they were of foreign descent.The good Swede and his wife could not speak a word of English when they came to the country fifteen years ago.McB.MONTREAL BRASS WC DESTROYED BY THE FLAMES The factory of the Robert Mitchell Co., Ltd., the Montreal Brass Works, was in large part destroyed by fire early Sunday morning.The loss is estimated by Mr.Mitchell at about $100,000, partly, but not entirely, covered by insurance.The factory 1s located at the corner of Dominion and Albert streets.It is, or was, a brick structure of four stories and a basement, the dimensions being somewhere about 100 feet by 65.The fire broke out In the brass finishing shop a few minutes after midnight.The Ste.Cunegonde brigade responded promptly.but were not equal to the situation, and the flames spread rapidly.An alarm was then sent to Montreal, and detachments of men from several of the stations at once proceeded to the scene, taking with them two engines and the necessary apparatus, the whole being under the direction of Sub-Chief Mitchell.BUILDINGS BLAZED FIERCELY.When this assistance arrived the buildings were blasing flercely.The machine shop and the brass-finishing shop were gone, but the effort to save the foundry was successful.It is damaged to some extent, but will be fn running order again in two or three days.The premises of the Thos.Davidson Manufacturing Company, across the road, were also attacked by the flames, and for » time \u2018they were in great danger, but the firemen succeeded In extinguishing them .with nothing worse than a few broken windows and a scorching given to one \u2018wall on the outside ef the buflding.There was algo, of course, some harm done by water, but a few hundred dollars will cover ft all THREE HOURS HARD WORK.It took nearly three hours of hard work to get the fire thoroughly extinguished.Despite the lateness of the hour and the abgence of street cars, & large number of people gathered to watch the blaze.BK The sight was very impressive, as the bullding, though of substantial construction, was not fireproof, the partitions and flooring being of wood, and the whole blazing fiercely after it had obtained a good start.Most of the outside brick walls fell in during the conflagration.The portions still standing will probably have to be removed as a precaution for public safely.How the fire started is a mystery that seems to admit of no solution.\u201cIt did not start from any electric wires.I am quite sure of that, becausa there are none around the place,\u201d says Mr.R.R.Mitchell, president of the company.The theory of the fire brigade is that it must have been a case of spontaneous combustion, caused by some waste being left around the shop.The machine shop and the brass-finish- ing shop are the only parts entirely de- troyed.\"As to these,\u201d says.Mr.Mitchell, \u201cwe will engage other premises and get to work again without delay, so as to enable us to hold our business.The foundry will be running again in a day or two.The most serious part of the loss.perhaps, is the patterns which were kept in the basement in special quarters, and to replace them will be a work of time and trouble.I place the loss at_about $100,000, but, of course, this is anly an estimate, \u201cWe are insured in several companies, but there is bound to be cousid- erable loss to us.There always is in such cases.\u2019 ; The premises of the Montreal Brass Works were grected in 1887.but have been remodelled and extended from time to time.The highly skilled character of { the work and the expensive machinery required, combine to make the industry & very important one.The number of ml whose employment will be affected will be about 300.but fog the great majority of them the stoppage will be only very temporary.An incident of the fire was the.suce 3M was found in the Bay y might.It had been there .- l'a week.No means of identification Have the firm, which ard located just in rear of the burnt premises.The horses were all got out.after very considerable exertions.The salvage corps also did excellent work in preventing the flames from spreading to adjoining houses.4 WHERE TO GO ON EMPIRE DAY.Carmon Athletic Association, B.S.Laurent to Sherringham Park.© 88.Chateauguay excursion to Lake @ St Louis.(@ 88.Soveréign éxcursion to
