1903.PRICE: ONE CENT.Six Months Hard Labour Joseph Limoges\u2019 Sentence The case of Joseph Limoges was one of the few serious cages that the courts listened to 10-day.Limoges wus one of tha leaders in the trouble at the orner of St.Denis ande De ontigny streets.He wus arrested after & struggle and to-day he commenced a sentence of six months in gaol at hard labour In delivering sentence.Judge Lafon- Raine gave Limoges a lecture, which was beard by a number of strikers who were fD court and which made it very evident that no one need expect mercy 1f caught ter with the present Street Railway employes.h evidence showed that Limoges attempted to assault the conductor of a car and that, when a policeman ran forward to arrest him, he called upon his fellow strikers to help him.In a moment the policeman was over- wered.es pulled the latter's ton from his hand and struck him over the head with it.The prisoner was.of course, released by the men aud the row: reported in yesterday's Star followed.The em of secret rervive adopted by the Street Railw.y Company resulted in the arrest of Limoges a few hours later.In his case it was not difficult to identify him or to find him.le is well known to fo police, as he wa» once a policeman.lle was a conductor ls-t year, but re signed Juter to tuke a place on the - Police force.When the præitions of the men were improved lv the concessions ; Dade by the Street Railway Company in F per that ebruary last, Lim: again \u2018bécame a conductor.The increaged advantages wluch he receiv- æd by going back to work did not deter him from Joining the strikers, and he was one * me, leaders in the street gatherings on es left the forve and 2 Limoges had notlinz to sav for him- ®elf, and when Judge Lafontaine told hum that the maximum penalty for the offence had committed was six months in gaol together with a fine of $108 or, in heu of the fine, another six months, the accused wept.He said that Le was guilty, and asked for the clemency of the court.18 young wife was in court, and she zed the judge to be lenient.-His Honour pointed out 10 Limoges the seriousness of his crime, and the rad predicament in which he had placed his fam- \u201cI have quite made up my mund to treat all law-brealing strikers with the utmost aeverity.\u201d said the judge.\u2018Men must be taught that they cannot break the law with impunity and then come here and vlan they did not know the seriousness oï the erime.JOSEPH One of the striking conductors, who w hard labour for ass aulting a constable.\u201cMen havé no right to go pte as the strikers have done, and to Antimidate others wbo want to do honest \u2018work.In your case, Limoges, you have no right to ask for clemency.You were at one time a sworn officer of the law and as such you knew very well the consequences oi your act of Sunday.\u201cI could impose a fine of $100 as well as send you to gaol, but I will not do that.\u201c] will let you off with six months at + hard labour in the common gaol.\u201d LIMOGES, as to-day sentenced to six months\u2019 UNION SUPPLIES LEGAL DEFENCE FOR THOSE ARRESTED: The sentence had a pronounced effect on mewbers of the union who were present.President Meloche was there with Lawyer Rodier, who was looking after the interests of the arrested strikers.\" The officers of the union declared in very emphatic language some little time ago that the union would have nothing to do with men who broke the law.It was stated tbat its officers had coun: æelled\u2019 tbe wer against intimidation and against resort to: any violence.To-day it was pointed out to President Meloche that he, together with the union lawyer, was present on behalf of the self- confessed law breakers.He was asked what he had to say about it.His reply was: \"I bave nothing to say to the papers.\u201d \u201cDo you not think that the public has a right to expect some word from you?\u201d \u201c] have nothing to say to the papers,\u201d he replied again.BUSINESS AGENT .OF UNION IS GIVEN A SHORT REMAND.There were a number of other cases before Judge Lajuntaine in connection with the arrest of strikers.\u2018 Joseph H.Aube, the busincas agent of the union, was charged with intimidation by threatening employes of the road.He pleaded not guilty and was remanded until § to-morrow for enquete.Then followed a hard fight for bail.Mr.Rodier.acting for the defence.offered aub- stantial bail, but Mr.Archer, for the company, declared that he would not agree to the proposition under any circumstances.His Honour quite agreed that there should be no bail under the circumstances and] .Aube was taken back to the cell.William Craig, a man who pulled the trolley pole from a car to the ground, pleaded guilty.The charge against him is of having obstructed the Street Railway Company in its work as a corporation.ie was remanded until Thursday.Narcisse Bartolet was arraigned on a charge of having assaulted a conductor.He pleaded not guilty and was remanded until to-morrow.20 Bernard Kennedy and Auguste Denanty pleaded guilty to a -ch of breakiy lamps belonging to the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company.They will be sentenced to-morrow.Dennis McEllright, who is alleged to ve raised a disturbance, will be tried tomorrow.He says he is not guilty.BK Many Men for Positions on Montreal Street Railway SI understand that the Street Railway [Dompany bas arranged tor four hundred mea to arrive from the country districts to-morrow.\u201d spoke Mayor Cochrane to-day.Continuing, he said that so soon as these men got broke in the condition of @ffairs would be much improved.In the meantime Dew pen were flocking to the company , .far distant when the-company-would have sll the employes it required.co \u201cThere is no doubt,\u201d continued thé Mayor, \u201cthat the strikers are beaten.1 personally know that quite a number of them have informed the company that they desire to return.The meaning of this strike is that many employes of the vompany, who have been employed for pears, will lose their positions, and the consequence will be\u2019 much suffering for their families.OFFER IS REFUSED.- The Mayor to-day received a communi aude from what was termed \u2018\u2018The Conciliation Committee,\u2019 of Quebec, saying that the committee regretted to learn of the second strike of the Street Railway employes, and that the committee would be glad to vote.to Montreal and try and the strike.ve due Assistant City Clerk, Mr.Bau- set, had read the communication, the Mayor said: \u201cYou can answer the letter to the effect that we appreciate the offer, but no conciliatory committee is needed in Montreal, and that the strike is practi cally settled, that the company is running cars, and that in a few days fhe company i x rs running everywhere.wi ee the heels of the above letter two letters reached the Mayor's office from strikers saying that they were disgust with him (the Mayor) for taking the part OL a ne notice of those communica- * vus the Mayor's instructions.mon Tetter wag sent to the president of the -Railwdy Company saying J Bre could rest assured that the city would give every proccction so that cars might run.In order to give better protection fifty firemen had been ordered be rs of oi Committee say these EI Pen LE re oud.brook.ut they can easily be got at.: .WILL NOT CALL OUT MILITIA.| orte, leader of the City Coun- cle Pay that this time there would be.no calling ouw of the mulilia; come what! would, the policemen should protect the compéty and see that cars were not y rom running.; prevented forpaces he had had with officials of the company he knew that the position of the strikers was not strengtli- ening as the days went by.; «Hae the City Council been asked by the strikers to arbitrate again?\u2019 was asked.; .Laporte;-\"No, Council has received a from the st-ikers,\u201d\u201d was the reply, \u201cand I do not think Council will have to act in the present case.PLEASED WITH THE POLICE.\u2018Ald.Giroux, chairman of the Police \u2018ommittes.wns at the City Hall to-day and in conversation with a Star reporter said that it was only just to the police say they were doing their duty in the st faithful manver.For two\u2019uf three days past they had been on duty seventeen hours every day, and this without ai word of complaint.As for the Chief of Police he had been criticized for not put- ing up a better fight when the 'longshore- Se struck.In the present strike, however, he (the chairman) was well satisfied with what the chief was doing.He did not wish to miee theichief, for after all, he was only ing his duty; at the same time he thought it only just thaï the public should know that the chief was working night and -day jo give proper protection to citi- séns.IN DANGEROUS CONDITION.; Building Inspector Chausse maid to-day that it scarcely correct that he had oe emmed Enpire Hall, the place where the strikers.meet, as being unsafe to meet in.Wimt he had done was to write the owner of the place that it was only capable of bearing a weight of 125 pounds to the square inch; while at the present time it was being put to a strain of 180 nds.This must not be allowed, as a disaster might eneve, Some of the strikers are very much annoyed over the communication of the Building Inspector, and claim that it is the outcome of a move on the part of the Street Railway Company to close up the strikers\u2019 meeting place.The accusation is denied by the Binlding Inspector.As it was again rumoured to-day that the militia was to be asked for by the \u2018Street Railway Gompany, Col.Gordon was seen by a Star regoTier; in -Tegard\u2014to the matter.5 There is not a word of truth in the rumour,\u201d said Col.Gordon; no demand whatever has been made upon me to send out the militia.\u201d When the City Council meets this afternoon, the strike situation will be distuseed.It is said a protest will be made by a couple of aldermen against &iremen doing duty as policemen; it is the contention of the leaders of Council, however, that the firemen are not being imposed upon in this connection.; lt is also likely that at the meeting of Council to-day, a motion will made ledging the city to do everything that fee in its power in order to permit.of the coimpany running cars.A \u201cIt hes to be remembered.\u201d said Ald.Laporte, \u201cthat the Street Railway Company has a franchise with the city to run cars every day.If through any fault of the company cars are not, it (the company) can be heavily tined.The position of affairs to-day is that the company is willing to run cars, but cannot do so owing to a-strike of its employes; the law, in consequence, cannot be invoked against the company.\u201cIf, through any fault of the strikers, force is to prevent cars from being operated, they (the strikers) will have to put up with the consequences.It is quite sure that the company is to be given every assistance from the corporation to operate cars.\u201d .Another City Father held to the view that the City Council should pass strong resolutions condemning the otrkers for not having kept faith with the city.He pointed out that when the city acted as arbitrator in February last, it was understood there would not be another strike unless the company broke jus pledges; s0 far no proof had -been adduced that the company had broker the agreement entered into at that time.; Secing the employes had acted in bad faith « with the.corporation,\u2019 he felt it would be just on the part of the City Council to Tormally condemn the bad faith of the strikers.He also said that the public should endeavour to show appreciation of the men who were endeavouring to rum the cars at the present time.He stated that yesterday morning a collection was taken up on a St.Catherine street car and handed to the \u201cgreen\u201d conductor and motormen in ch of it.It appears that during the ride the men bad frequently been regaled with such cries as \u201cscab,\u201d \u201ctraitor,\u201d etc.The passengers felt.so sympathetic towards the new men that a collection was taken up.The conductor and motormen were déhighted, not with the money, but with the thoughtfulness and sympathy of the passengers.SSODHHHOBHHBHHEG MONTREAL STREET RAILWAY CO'Y.| \u2014\u2014 Notice Ex-Employes.£8 à Ex-employes are hereby

a Star reporter boarded a west-bound Beaver Hall car and proceeded uptown.An old conductor, who was in charge, was breaking in 8 youngster, whom he charged with the collection of fares.he giving of transfers seemed the most difficult task that the new man had to do.The veteran, however, quietly advised his pupil not to punch the transfers at all.\u201cA passenger may have to wait half an hour or more for a car, and the conductor may object to receiving the transfer,\u201d was the way the conductor put it.\u201cYou are Ketting a season ticket good on any car,\u201d he laughingly remarked to a passenger.On pearing St.Catherine street a car of that line was seen proceeding eastward, in charge of a green motorman.A couple of policemen and a fireman occupied seats on the front and rear platforms.At University street another Beaver Hall hil car was met with.It was proceeding down town with a full complemeht of pas sengers.A third well loaded Beaver Hall car was met at the corner of Peel and St.Catherink streets.After a few minutes\u2019 wait at that corner the Star reporter boarded an east-bound St.Catherine street car, that was being run without any \u2018police protection at the time.Quite a number of passengers were on board.The copductor in charge was an old hand, but he did not wear his uniform.The motorman wis not a employe, but he;seemed-{5 know his business well, as the starts and stops were made without any jar whatever.Another car of the same line, also well filled, fo}- lowed within a block, with a poli and a fireman on board.At the corner of University street a west-bound St.Catherine street car was met going along Without further protection than that afforded by an extra motorman and conductor, who were breaking in new GOTSÉSÉSGSRAE ES EAHHHH6HHAUSS men.At Bleury \u2018street a few strikers were standing.around, but about a dozen policemen and a few firemen, under a police officer, were on gnerd at the different corners.A policeman and a fireman armed with police batons boarded the east-bound car.This proceeded without incident St.Lawrence siréet.The strikers in pme Hall looked on but said nothing.WALKED FIVE MILES.One of the passengers on the east-bound car was an employe of the James.McCready Boot and Shoe Company, w fac is in Delorimier avenue.He resides at West.mount, and-sweted that on Saturday she had been obliged 2 lk \u2018be whole dis tance from Delorimier à home, some five miles.To-day, bowever, rode down to Delorimief avenue, from which he had to walk to be factory, on the \u2018Craig and Centre line wee not working regularly.At St.Denis stfe¢t not a policeman or » striker was; in sight, apd things.were quieter even than on ordimary occasions.Around Deloritmier avenue a few men were seen in the dpjforine of the sompany.They looked with {derision on.the plain-clothes men who running the car; but said m- nothin At the et aide of Poupart atest, quite a group of strikers wus gathered.No demonstration was made, however, beyond Indicating the strike breakers.Several policemen were on duty at the corner.At the corner of Frontenac street a atill larger crowd of strikers was met with, but they kept moving up and down,in response to requests from the policemen in the vici- mty, who were in charge of Captain Cole man, while Detective Samson was also in touch with everything that was going on.CAR TO MAISONNEUVE.The cars run into the Harbour street sheds, where quite a number of people were waiting 10 take cars to the city.Early in the forenoon, the crew of one of the St.Cathermne street cars, instead of running beck into the yard, as uswal; Fight- the .t was deemed inadvisable, however, to continue running cars down there, as the police protection was inadequate, and there were long stretches which were un- Car after car came down to Harbour street, where they took on passengers and then went west again.Nixtesn cars came and went within an hour, and each reported that the trip to Westihount and return had been acvomplished without incident.After a while.the Maisonneuve car came back, after having traversed the eastern line without molestation of any kind.A couple of the company's inspectors and several other officials were at the Harbour street offices.Among them were the foremen of the car shops, car stores and some of the electrical departments, whose men had either gone out or were assisting in running other departments.The inspec tors said that tbe men when ing to them had stated individually that they had no grievance against their immediate superiors, nor to any great extent against the company, but they did not care to break away from the strike on account of the others MEN ARE COMING BACK.Inspector Dube.at the St.Henri sheds, said to-day that he enlisted sixty of the old men yesterday, and sent them to the Cote street shops.This morning he sent out nine cars with double crews, making ninety-six men in all up to ten o'clock.Quite a number also applied at the Harbour street sheds.At first they were sent down to Cote street, but after a time they were retained at the Harbour street sh to be put on cars later in the day.The return trip was also executed without any striking incident.The same groups were collected,but were being kept moving from time to time by the police.Just east of St.Denis street, a couple of strikers walki \u201cscab,\u201d but went right on, without furm: ing round.The car was in charge of a new motorman, who, while he appeared rather uncertain, got along fairly well.Une of the old conductors was on the car, but the actual work of collecting fares was done by e new man.; TRANSFER WAS PROMPT.Transfer at the corner of St.Lawrence street was fully as prompt es on ordinary daye, and nothing in that neighbourhood indicated ahything unusual, beyond the presence of numbers of men at the windows of the Empire Hall.Cars were pass ing east and west on St.Catherine, and north and south on St.Lawrence, not quite so frequently as they did last week, perhaps, but the intervals were no longer than they are on the Main street line often while ordinary conditions prevail.WOULD HAVE TO PLACARD HALL.Building\u2019 Inspector Chausse was a pas æcnger on a west bound St.Catherine street car, and alighted at the corner of St.Lawrence street.Looking up at the Empire Hall building, he remarked that he believed he would have to placard it dur- the day, denying admission to crowds.e had atread y warned the proprietor, he said, that the building was unfit for public gatherings.It was built for

man was standing at the entrance to the street.The majority of these were strikers with their little paper passes waiting for a chance to interview the Superintendent.In a steady stream the cars went out.Policemen generally oocupied the front platform with the motorman.The rear guard consisted as a rule of conductors and a fireman.| .No difficulty at all was experienced in getting the cars out of

at full speed even if he be a Prime Minister.The possibility of running automobiles at high speed has been abundantly demonstrated, the great danger to hie and limb of running at high speed has been more than sufficiently de- monvtrated.Whit else remains to be demonstrated unless it be the uselessness and iolly of the whole business.The quickewt, cheapest and mowt comfortable way of getting from Pans to Madrid is still by railway.MR.CHAMBERLAIN ON FREE TRADE.Mr.Chamberlain\u2019s Birmingham audience laughed when he described himself as à free trader.They thought he was joking.But he insisted upon the correctness of the description and proceeded to justify it ly pointing out that free -trade, as it is in England just Now, is not free trade at all.He describes the present condition in England as something absolutely mew, unlike anything ip the history of the country; as something never contemplated by those who are regarded as the authors of free trade.Mr.Chamberlain's policy :s that England shall no longer be bound by any purely techmcal definition of trade, but that it shall recover its real freedom, resume the power of negotiation, and even,if need be, of retaliation against these nations whose whole commercial pol- 1ey 14 frankly hostile to the United Kingdom and its colonies.If the ultimate aim of the free trader be universal free trade, that goal x likely to be aftaned much sooner by a common-sense application of principles than by slavish obedience to cant free trade phrases.The commercial policy of all the great powers ree free trade 15 greatly affected by general political considerations, and 1s largely influenced in many cases by intense jealousy of Great Bntam's military and commercial supremacy.Mr.Chamberlain contrasts the warm sympathy which exits between the practically independent nations forming the British Empire and the active or latent hostilty of the foreign nations towards the British federation, and he recognizes - the oportunity for a mutually beneficial commercial allance.He has not asked one colony to abandon one iota of its po- Ltical or commercial independence.He proposès to meet concessions with concessions and hostility with hostility abroad; but within the Empire he looks for, and is quite safe in looking for, a spirit of cordial friendship and an earnest desire to advance the interests of the Empire as à whole.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 rt EMERSON.New England has been celebrating these last few days the centenary of her greatest son, Ralph Waldo Emerson, born at Concord, Massachusetts, on the 25th of May, 1803.The celebration is, from every point of view, fitting and justifisble.In point of absolute genius one or two America writers might possibly take precedence of Emerson, but Matthew Arnold was right when he said that Emerson had done the most important work that had been done by any American in the realm of literature.He has not given the world anything that can be placed quite on a level with Hawthorne's \u201cSearjet Letter,\u201d or some of Poe\u2019s best work, but he has entered into the general consciousness of his age in a way that neither Poe nor Hawthorne has done.He has \u2018achieved what neither of these writers even have attempted; he has set up standards ef life and conduct for a whole nation, and in a measure for the whole world.To say this implies much more than that he has indulged in morakizing.That is one of the casiest things to do, and, as a rule, one of the most ineffectual.Emerson has moralized if you will, but he has dope it in such a way as to make the Jaw real and objective to the eyes of men; what he has seen and heard, what his hands have ban.dled of the word of life, that he bas declared to the world.The man had his limitations, but within those limitations he was absolutely true and authentic, and that is why his message is a living message to-day, and his name a power.Emerson has often been compared with Carlyle, and the prevalent opinion is that of the two the latter had the loftier, the more original and the more penetrating genius.He certainly had more in him of clemental heat; some of his sentences remind one of the daemonic, all- dissolving fury of an electric furnace grappling with some refractory ore.Bmer- son cannot give us that.Carlyle, too, has bumour, astanic as his indigmation and scorn, and that which always goes with Ltrue humour \u2014 pathos.Emerson is almost destitute of humour, and equally 80 of pathos, which to him bas more than an etymological tonnection with pathology.Nevertheless, to-day Emerson, is more of a Lving force than Carlyle.Why?Because, posvessing hia soul in patience, he let nature speak through him its lessons of wisdom and promises of happiness to the upright in beart.Jt was his, with the poet Keats, to \u201cHearken what the inner spirit sings: \u201cThere is no joy but calm.\"\u201d In Carlyle we see the struggles of a powerful nature, fundementally sincere, thrown into a world where fraud, pretance and cant have wide sway; we hear him opposing the everlasting yeas and nays of the universe to the false and flimsy as- severations of the hour.In Emerson we seec Nature's interpreter, mildly itonieal with the erring, but ever hopeful that foolishness and wrong will yield in time to the higher power of truth and righteousness.He knows, with Plate and Paul, that, if tho creature ie subject + vanity, it is not willingly.He does not thunder, therefore; he pleads; but he does tomobiling on tbe hihwava can serve no so with no anxiety in his tone: but with a cabn assurance that his cause\u2014the ca of truth\u2014muet triumph.-~ ~~ Open his books anywhere aad you cannot read far before you encounter the theme he never tires of presenting, the beauty of truth, the truth of beauty, the moral bar-! mony of the universe.Here is his mes- æge in a paragraph: .\u201cA more secret, sweet and overpowering beauty appears to man when his heart and mind open to the sentiment of virtue.Then he is iffetructed in what is above him.He learns that his being is without bouud: thet to the good, to the perfect, he\u201c born, low as he now lies in evil and weakness.That which he venerates is still his own, though he has not reahzed 3t yet.He ought.He knows the sense of that grand word, though his analysis {uils to render account of it.When in inmocency, or- by intellectual perception, he attains to say, \u2018I live the Raght; Truth 18 beautiful within and without forever: more.Virtue, I am thine; save me, use me; thee will 1 serve day and night, in great and small, that I may be pot virtuous but virtue;'\u2014then ie the end of the creation answered, and God is well pleased.\u201d The New England philosopher was Just as strongly opposed to cant as the sage of Chelsea, though be did not denounce 1t with the same superhuman strength of language.\u201cWe see 1t advertised, he says, \u2018that Mr.Grand will de liver an oration oun the Fourth of July, and Mr.Hand one before the Mechamcs\u2019 Association, and we do nat go thither, because we know that these gentlemen will pot communicate their own character and experience to the company.If we had reason to expect such a confidence, we should go through all inconvenience and apposition.The sick would be carried in hitters.But a public oration 1s an apology, a gag, not a commumication, not a speech, not a man.\u201d To Emerson the soul was both the perceiver and the revealer of truth.\u201cWe distinguisb,\u201d he says, \u201ctbe announcements of the soul, its manifestations of its own nature, by the term Revelation.These are always attended by the emotion of the sublime; for thus communication is an influx of the Divine mind into our nund.* * * The rapture of the Moravian and Quietist; the revival of the Calvinistic churches; the expenences of the Methodists, are varving forms of that shudder of awe and delight with which the individual soul always mingles with the universal soul.\u201d .Was Emerson a poet ?Surely he had the root of poetry in him, though it did not always Hower in perfect form.He had in him something of Wardsworth, something also of (\u2018oleridge, something of Keats, and that not derivatively but by original endowment.There is passion ia his love of nature: there 18 passion also in his faith in night; there 1s passion in his power of self-renunciation.We seem to.catch a glimpse of the latter in the hes \u2014 \u201cThough thou loved her as thyself, As a self of purer clay, Though her parung dims the day, Stealing grace from all alive; Heartily know, When half-gods go.The gods arrive,\u201d Alas, 1t 18 hard eometimes for the poor human heart to believe that the gods can be half as dear as the half-gods.Now and then there seems to be a touch in him of the Carlylean cult of force, as when we find him saying: ~ \u201cFor.gods delight in gods, And thrust the weak aside: To him who scorne their charities, Ther arms fly open wide.\u201d The comprehensiveness of his thought and sympathy 1s well shown in his wonderful poem, \u201cThe Problem.\u201d To him all religion® are essentially true, inasmuch as all afford at least a partial revelation of the Divine; and the world will never part with one fragment of the truth so com- wmumeated.As he powerfully expresses it: \u201cOne accent of the Holy Ghost The heedless world hath never lost.\u201d We cannot afford to neglect Emerson.A bundred years have elapsed since his birth and twenty-one since his death, but his message is full of actuality for us etill.To him belongs, no small measure of that \u201chealing power\u2019 which a fine poet has attributed to Wordsworth.If we take his hand he will lead us to the heart of nature.If we listen truetingly to his voice he will clothe the moral law for ue with beauty and power.If we embrace his doctrine we ahall find that at is the doctrine of a greater than he, one that gives rest to the heavyladev, and lights up the spaces of the universe with hope anl joy.We have All been told as children that cats: could see in the dark, but as we grew up we never knew how much t6 believe of it.Now the scientists come forward and eay that all bodies exposed to the sunlight are able afterwards to give a small portion of it off, and that it is quite possible therefore,\u2019 thst the eyes of some animals may be so constructed as to be sensitivefito the rays thus emitted.Professor Havent, of the University of Pennsylvania, went so far in a recent address, as to say that he considered it as entirêly probable that a mouse, and Very likely a cat, could, if it had the proper intelligence, give us valuable assistance in roums to us totally dark, which are doubt- Jess to them comfortably illuminated.It seems only fair that, if the cat pos seeses this special faculty, the mouse should have it, too, otherwise Tabby would have\u2019 too great an advantge altogether.The Russiûn Ambaesador at Washington having said, in a recent interview on the subject of the Kishineff massacre, that the Jews im Russia do not care to engage in agriculture, an American citiren addresses him a brief open letter in which he says: .\u201clf you were acquainted with the existing oonditjons in Russia, you would know that the Jews are not allowed to acquire land, to engage in agriculture.or to employ themselves in similar pursuits.The Jews do not willingly \u2018desire to be money lenders.The recent outrages of your countrymen were directed against all classes, both sexes and all ages.It can hardly be mid that the small children they murdered lent them money.\u201d This is much to the point.It is wonderful what a talent the wolf han always pos senced-for trumping up.chargés against the lamb, _ La Luis 4, To-Night*e Academy\u2014~*' The Strollers.\u201d Proctor's\u20148hea Dramati¢ Bt Theatre Fraficals \u2014 Adbrey Btock Co, Cel © Theatre Royal-Véydeville and hurles- atte: ' ht ae Ne SWAIN.= TRS - ;

In answer to further questions, Sir Charles signified that he and his associates were disposed to enter into the purchase of the Canadian Northern, if it could be amicably brought about.There would be advantages, particulatly in the shortening of the time in which the Grand Trunk system would be established in the West, but, he added, Winnipeg and the West would naturally be glad to have as, many railways as they could get.Sir Charles would express no definite opirion as to the date at which the Grand Trunk Pacific would be likely to reach Winnipeg, but he said the work would be pressed with all energy.Asked as to the nature and extent of the aid the company expected from the Dominion, Sir Charles question.The company had not yet received its charter, and the question of aid would have to be taken up subsequently.His visit to Winnipeg, he said, had been in connection with the general purpose to make the system a Canadian transcintin- ental line.At the time of the inception of the Grand Trunk Company, looked upon as the Canadian trunk line, and in reaching out toward the Pacific Ocean, the Grand Trunk was merely fultilling its original purpose, and he regarded it as the duty of the Grand Trunk to fulfil that purpose.KENTUCKY HAS LIVELY TIME WITH ITS FEUDS.Witnesses Will Not Attend Court \u2014 All Entering Searched for Concealed Weapons.Jackson, Ky., May 26.\u2014Every one who entered the court house in the Jett trial here was searched for weapons.The witnesses were not to be found.Tom Cockrill sent word from Winchester that he did not propose to answer a summons that would cost his life, and said that ns fear came from those in county offices.Colonel Williams, in command of the militia, summoned the visiting correspondents and asked that no sensational stories be eent out- The correspondents were iven a tent Yo themselves, but owing to it being within easy reach of the mountain from any one which might be singled out, and shot, there is some misgiving and the Soeur oi à asked to change the location.\u20ac correspo i [soldier's uni will protect them.AN INDEFINATE LOCK OUT IN LARGE FACTORY.Smith and Wesson Revolver Makers Troubled With Unions\u2014Their Action.Springfield, Mass, May 26.\u2014The firm of Smith and Wesson, makers of the celebrated revolver, closed its factory last night for an indefinite period.This s is taken, presumably on account the labour troubles, the men havi ignified their intention of forming & union esnite the opposition of the firm.I EMERSON ANNIVERSARY.Sage of Concord Born One Hundred Years Ago Yesterday.Concord, Mass, May 26.\u2014Concord ves- terday \u201cgave itself up to a general celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Ralph Waldo Emerson.\u201cThe principal speaker of the morning was Le Baron Russel] Briggs, of Harvard, and a feature of the programme was the recitation by some of the pupils of selected poems of Emerson.In the afternoon, Charles Eliot Norton, of Harvard;

Amount of Dynamite Ex- ploded\u2014They Thought it Was a Second Slide.Special to The Montreal Star.Frank, Alberta, May 26\u2014Frank was quite a town again for a short time yesterday.Several hundred sightseers visited the scene of the recent disaster.They came from towns to the west, by a special ex- cursicn train furnished by the Canadian Pacilic Railway.The town was in holiday dress, and the few inhabitants remaining, laid themselves out to give their visitors a good time.Nothing untoward happened, but several times ne sightseers were frightened by slides coming down the mountain, beng unaccustomed to the roar and rumble which has become & familiar sound to the villagers.- The towns people themselves received a bad fright last evening.About 100 pounds of dynamite, which was being thawed for use by the railroad graders, exploded.The shock was sufficient to break a large number of windows in the town.Fortunately no one was injured.All in the town thought the much expected repetition of the big slide was coming and started to run for their lives, Being daylight it was soon apparent that the mountain was not the cause of t 5 and the fright subsided.he shock, THE SITUATION AT FRANS.Two Dominion Geologists Make Re- pert to the Government.Special to The Montreal Star.Ottawa, May 26.\u2014Messrs.R.W.B .-\u2014Messrs.R.W.Brock and R.G.McConnell, the geologists who were'sent to report on the cause of the landslide at Turtle Mountain, which wiped out the town of Frank, have returned.They bave submitted a preliminary report to Sir William Mulock, the acting Minister of the Interior, and later wi] send in a fully detailed statement.' Mr.McConnell states that the part of Turtle Mountain which gave way was about half a mile wide, over 2,000 feet in height, and from four to five hundred feet thick at the centre.He estimates that between sixty and eighty million tons of rock fell, the debris of which covers almost two square miles.The slide ia attributed to the steepness of the mountain and the shattered condition of the rock.This was due to \u201cfaulting\u201d and crushing of the rock during the process of mountain building.Besides this, during the last few sezsons there has been more than the usual amount of precipitation and the exceptionally large quantity of water percolating through the fissures terded to\u2019open them still further.These conditions made the mountain ripe for a slide.but the accident was likely hastened by a creep in the coal mine, which caused à jar.As the mine is now all covered up the geologists had no opportunity of examining how the creep occurred.The mountain where the slip took Place is very badlv fractured and is now slipping down.continuously in small pieces.There is danger of another slide as some of the fractures extend back five or six hundred feet from the face and if these were to open another bulk would come down, but if-it continues to fall in small pieces there will not be so much danger.Mr.McConnell thinks that there will always be more or less risk in living in Frank.and that the reople should shift as sion as possible.The geologists say that therg was pcsitivelv no volcanic eruption or earthquake.Neither was there an explosion in the coal mine, Rockslides in the Alps are frequent.as over 150 have been recorded.but although Mr.McConnell has seen a great deal of the Rockies the slide at Turtle Mountain is the only one of any extent which has come under his notice.They cannot therefore he very plentiful.From what he saw Mr.M-~Connell thinks that from the time the rock broke away until it was settled \u2018in| the valley was not much over a minute.rene THE USE OF FISH \u2018PROMOTES LEPROSY.London, May 26.\u2014Jonathan Hutchinson, the weil known surgeon and former president of the Royal College of Surgeons, who recently returned, from a tour of investigation in India ad to the cause and preven- \u2018tion of leprosy, has written a letter to the Times on the subject of fish eating as the cause of the disease.He gives the opini that the Catholic fast days aro in 8 measure responsible for the sp of leprosy.and that wherever there is a risk of obtaining unsound fish the use of fish on fast days ought to ba forbidden.Lord Knollys, King Edward's private secretary, authorizes thé statement that there is absolutely no foundation for the report published in that the King is in 111 health.A , 4 , DUPUIS Our Stores are Closed dally at 8 p.m., except Saturday.Mail Orders Promptiy and Carefuity Attended to.cream, white and blaek.cluding cream, white and black.and so on up to 27c yard.Our line at 50c is exhausted.\u201cof $2.25.(Quantity limited.) the costume.tume, trimmed with white braid.and white striped sulting linen, and fancy braid.tons, etc.lar value of 50c.You can have last.® eas vee ren | pink, blue and brown.y and bluet.sale, \u201cPattern Counter.\u201d That Extraordinary Sale of RIBBONS Still Going On.An Enormous Quantity Sold Every Day, At 15c\u2014FANCY RIBBONS for Neckwear\u2014Pale pink, pale blue, maize, At 20c\u2014PURE SILK TAFFETAS RIBBONS\u2014All the new shades, in- At 25c\u2014PURE SILK TAFFETAS, MOUSSELINE AND RIBBONS\u2014From 5 to 61-2 inches wide, mostly in the light shades.Laces at Half Price.Our Lace Department has been crowded all day Saturday.play of Laces is most attractive.We show a large variety, and prices are exceedingly low.Our line of White Valenciennes is one of the most popular.Range of prices from 1jc, 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c, Sc Ladies\u2019 House Wrappers.In order to maintain the enthusiasm $ this extraordinary sale, we have reduced the 90c Wrappers The complete balance on hand of Ladies\u2019 Printed Cotton Wrappers, 53 dozen, sizes 34 to 42, actually sold at 90c, will be offered tomorrow, and as long as the jot wi last, at.We show a large assortment of Ladies\u2019 House prices.A very speclal value Is our $1.46 Wrapper.A regular value Summer Costumes for Young Girls, At $1.00\u2014For girls from 6 to 12 years of age.Fancy Costume in Striped Blue Duck, cuffs and collar trimmed with white.Making alone would cost you more than the price asked for At $1.25\u2014For Girls from 5 to 10 years of age.\u2014Plain Linen At $1.35\u2014For Girls from 5 to 10 years\u2014Elégant Costume in light blue t $1.50\u2014Sizes for Girls from 5 to 10 years.Ecru Grass Linen Cos- A Vie, gallor collar and cuffs trimmed with cardinal duck, pearl but- Would be cheap enough at $2.50.Black Mercerized Petticoats at 50c.+ : We have just received another lot of those much spoken of Petticoats.Just 23 dozen;

Them.THEY ARE HIGH AT PRESENT Underwriters Say They Will Be Reduced When City\u2019s Fire Service is Up to Required Standard.A confergmce was held thia morning be- {ween some of the menrbers of the Finance Committee of the City Council and the Fire Underwriters\u2019 Amsociation on the subject of reduction of tire rates in the centre of the city, with the result that the fire underwritere declined to reduce the rates until they secured more definite m- formation thas the fire protection service of the city has been improved.After the Board of Trade fire of two years ago the fire underwriters increased the rates on buildings in the centre of the city by about twenty-five per cent.As the same time they submited to the Gy Council 8 statement of improvements needed in the city fire protection service, and set a standard up to which they saked the city to come.t was in reference to this standard that the conference of this morning was The members of the Finance Committee argued that the city had made sufficient improvements in the Fire Deparament to warrant the reduction of the rates.The y of the fire underwriters wasa request for a detailed statement of what had béen dome and what was pow being done.\u2018 The underwriters gave the aldermen to understand that they did pot regard the matter as one for negotiation between the city and themselves.It was one in which the fire underwriters had laid down cer tain requirements for the city to live up to, and as soon as the fire protection service complied wtih those requirements, the rates would go down.The fire underwriters stated that ss soon as they received a detailed statement of what the city had done they would ask their engineer for another report and take action accordingly.IGNORANT CROWDS AND A DESTRUCTIVE SPEED.A Vivid Description of: the Awful Pace in the Paris-Madrid Motor Race.london, May 26.\u2014 Joseph Pennell, the artist and writer, has sent a most Lie description of the first stage of the Paris Madrid eutemabile race td the Daily Chronicle from Ohirtres.After describing the assembling of the crowds and how, finally, the racers Were sen commg from the top a hill, he continued: \u201c Aa the cars fell\u2014there is no other word for it\u2014down the slopes, and spproached the narrow bridge, jumped with a bound across it and flew with « scream up the rive beyond, one could see by the twitch of the wheels, not half of which were caused by the road, that agonizing was the strain on the driver, forced to make his way through the endless, uncontrolled crowds which littered the road from Paris to Bordeaux.Much as one may esteem the broad-minded views of the French Government in encouraging the motor industry, the Government's beglect to protect the course was criminal and | i elee.Though on the stretch of eight kilometres between Chartres and the first -village there were from 5,000 to 10,000 people an 500 to 1,000 cars, no sttempt was made to control the crowds, mostly made up of peasants and people from Paris, who knew nothing about automobiles.e bhorse- drawn traffic was stopped during the race, but the fools on ycles, and the imbeciles on motors careened about «nd drew up anywhere all over the road.The final break-up of the race hegan this morning.The chief contestants to return their machines to Paris rail, and the others promised the police authori- tiès to pi at reduced speed and by different routes.The doctors to-day had a copeultation re garding the case of Mr.Barrow, and de cided that though be had made marked improvement he was not out of danger.¥.London Cables New York.London.May 26\u2014The London County Cotingil at its meeting this afternoon cab to Mayor Keath Low its congratu- fations on the 230th enniversary of the ews- \"5

8tones\u2014A Shot Fired From Which He Dies.Special to The Montreal Star.Sherbrooke, Que., May 26.\u2014Disraeli, @ pescefal litle village on the Quebeo entra] Railway, was the scene of a tragedy last night.As a result Aime Boulanger, 40 years of age.is dead, and Nicholas St.Hilaire, a merchant, accompanied bv half a dozen residents of the place, has come to Sharbrooke to take legal advice and possibly give himself up, us having fired the shot which directly or indirectly caused Boul s death.» The circumstances are these.ilan- 5 who had been celebrating Victoria Day by an over indulgence in spirituou liquors © very quarrelsome as the t wore on he was it is said ready to fight with &ny one, or every one, and a dedtructive spirit seized him.He took .t in throwing stones, as he visited St.Hilaire's store and used offensive language, and was inclined to attack the store-keeper.He was put out.Finally about nine o'clock he returned and began pel the store with stones, emashing of the windows.A man named Blanchet who was in the store hr struck in the face.tre seems to have lost his temper under these i circuinst tances.and gun to the door an fired.\u201d The ball struck Boulanger :n tho thigh.A priest and doctors were at once summoned end the latter proceeded to extract the bullet.Angesthetica were administered.At 2 2.m.Boulanger died.Vien St.Hilaire arrived oo in Sherbrooke at once to the office of Panneton & Leblanc who will take charge of the defence.Hin ose was to give himself up to the au ities, but it i« j that under advice he will not do this.It is likely that Jus defence will daim that the wound was not auf- ficient Ip couse death, which they wii due rather to the anaesthetics and the general ph weakness nf Boulanger owing to his intoxicated condition.St.Hilaire is ome of the prominent citinens of Disraeli pod enjoys the reputation of à respectable peaceful man, He is unmarried.Boulanger leaves a widow.Theré is much excitement over the affair and an inquest is being held.-_\u2014 CITY COUNCIL MAY VOTE THE MILITIA\u2019S PAY.It in almost certain that at the meeting of the City Council to-day it will be decid: 1 ed to vote the 85,000

she would have sent for a doctor when be was taken ill but he p against it.But, asked abou\u2019 the stranger she had seen in the village of Bristow, her candour astonished her hearers.She made no effort to conceal the fact that she bad sean such a person and that she had fallen desperately in love with him.She said that she and her first \u201cjusband had often talked of being separated by death and that each had given a solemn promise to the other to reappear in the flash if such a thing should possible.When she maw the stranger, she said, she was satisfied that :t was the reincarnation of her first husband, though he did not appear to recognize her.She was too much surprised when she saw him in the street to make any advances and he disappeared before she recov her composure, but she was satisfiel that the man was her first husband and that he could be made to recognize her if she could see bim again.Asked if the man had spoken to her or if sbe had received any word from him before or since the chance meeting, she replied that she had not.Throughout the interview the woman was perfectly candid and did not sttempe to evade a mingle question.She stoutly maintained that she was innocent of the crime that goesip charged against her, and maid that, while she and her secon husband did not always live happily, she respected him and no thought of murder ever entered her mind.: The two physicians Yo the court that, while she may have committed the crime, she is not responsible to the law for it, because she is not respon- gible for acts by her peculiar conceptions.They declare that she was 11, such a state of mind that if any one had reincarnated\u201d suggested that her \u201c husband would be happier if she were single it would have so wrought upon her as \u2018» impel her to murder without realizing that abe was committing a crime.The defence has taken its coe from the report of the physicians, and evidence will be introduced to show that the woman, if the crime is proved inst her, was not responsible for it.Such a defence has never been made in this State, and the attorneys on both aides are very muc : interested in it.Sentiment in the county is so much divided that, (dough under indictment for murder in the egree, Mra.Dixon has not been arrested, but is living quietly at her home near Bristow.Every one says she will appear for trial when the case is called next month.THE BLUE LAWS OF 1794.The old blue lawe of 1794 have never been repealed by the State of Pennsylvania.snd the arrest in Philadelphia of a man for kisting Ji wife on Sunday prompts the Milwaukee Dispatch to pub- ish some of these curious statutes of former dare: \u201cThere shall be no manner of work - formed on the Sabbath day, and there shall be no bargaiding, trading or other indulgence in worldly pursuits during the peri , designated as the Sabbath day.\u201cThe Sabbath day shall begin at sundown Saturday.\u201cNo beast ¢f burden.man servant or maid servant shall be called upon to do any manner of labor on the Sabbath day.\u201cNo hufhand shall kiss his wife and no mother shall kiss her child on the Sabbath or on any day of fasting.\u201cNo person shall undertake a journey travel, cook victuals, shave or otherwise defile the Sabbath day by other outward conduct., \u201cNo one shall run on \u2018the Babbath day.or walk in his garden or elsewhere.except reverently to and from his or her place of worship./ \u201c1t shall be unlawful for any person to disturb the peace of the Sabbath day hv indulging in unworthy sad worldly conversa!

But this assurance is wanting.(Hear, hear.) I have read with care and in all the speeches that have been made by the leaders of the Liberal party: and in none 2° them do 1 find a frank acceptance of that national and Imperial policy which I believe at the present time is the first necessily of a united kingdom.As long as that is the case, however anxious 1 may be ergonally for rest, 1 confess I cannot ooË forward without dread of handing over the security and existence - of this at Empire, Yo the hands of those who ave made common cause with its enemies (hear, hear), who have cha their own countrymen with methods 0 Darbar- ism (hear, hear), and who apparently have been untouched by that pervading vents ment which I found everywhere where thy British flag floats and which has done A much in recent years to draw us to gother.I should not require to go to Sonth Africa in order to be convinced that this feeling has obtained deep hold on t minds and, hearts of our children beyond the reas.It hos had a hard life of it.This feeling of Impcrial patriotism was checked for a generation by the apathy and the indifference which were the char- { being formed; that younger members of acteristics of our former relations with colonies, the statesmen who gave it had our colonies.It was discouraged by our had tpparent acceptance of the doctrines of future.Do you not see that they might Little Englanders, of the provincial épirit which tanght ue to consider our- of an Lnperial edifice of which every part selves alone and to regard with indiifer- would have contributed something to the énée all that concerned ever loyal [strength of the whole?But in those days they might be, who left these shores in |the one idea of statesmen was to get nd order to go to our colonies abroad.But it was pever extinguished.The ember were still alight.And when in the iate war this old country of ours showed tha\u2019 it was still posscased by the spirit of our Ancestors, showed that it was still prepared to count no sacrifice that was necessary in order to maintain the honour and the interests of the Empire that was committed to its charge, then you found a from your brethren, your children across the seas, a response such as has not been known before, thai astonished the world by a proof, an undeniable proof, of \u2018 some 40 millions of us: outside there are i Yocal incidents and legislation of each sep- \"arate State and gives insufficient regard to \"the interests of the whole \u2014 but mainly ! ch has offered a greater attraction to Brit- l of America with all their vast territory | thousands and tens of thousands of emi- affection and regard, (Cheers.)

Now, | said in their different colonies there might, 4 me that not only is it certain that every other colony of the Empire will necessanly and in due time follow this example, but Canada herself and the other colonies also, as the bonds are drawn closer, as we become more and more one people united by interest as well as by sentiment, will be more and more ready to take te share in these burdens of defence to which I have referred.THE EXAMPLE OF CANADA.Now, what has Canada done for us?me say, however, before I come to that that my policy which I wish to make clear to you is not to force our colomies\u2014 that is hopeless; they are as independent as we are\u2014but to meet everything they do.If they sec a way of drawing the Em- even if they may not be prepared to join us in some other way from which we think the same result would be achieved.But let us be prepared to accept every indication on their part of this desire.Let us show we appreciate it, and believe me it will not be long before all will come into line; and the results, which follow will be greater than perbaps it would be prudent \u2018now to anticipate.Well, I say, what has Canada done for us?a in 1898, freely, voluntarily of ber own accord, as recognition of her obligations to the mother country, as a recognition especially of the fact that w= were the greatest of the free markets open to Canadjan produce, gave us a preference on all dutiable goods of 25 per cent.In 1800 she increased that preference, als freely of ber own accord, to 33 1-3 per cent.(Cheers.) I have had occasion to point out that the results of this great concession have beene to a certain extent in some respects disappointed.The increase in our trade with Canada has been very great, but it has not increased largely out of proportion to the increase of the trade between Canada and other countries; but this remains true that, whereas before these concessions the trade of this country with Canada was constantly reducing, getting less and Jess, that reduction had been stayed and the trade has continually increared - (hear, hear), and, to put it in a word, the trade between our colony of (Canada and \u2018the mother country, which was 6 1-2 millions in 1097-1898, is now carried on at a rate of probably a good deal more: but at all events, I will say, to be safe, of 11 millions sterling in the present year (cheers), and the increase is chiefly in textile s, cotton, wollen and goods of that kind, and in manufactures of hardware and iron and steel.At the same time, whereas the percentage of the total trade had fallen from 40 per cent., I think, or at all events from a percentage, to : -2 per cent.in those last two years, it has beene gradually climbing up again, and it has pow reached for the present year 28 1-2 per cent.Well, that is an important result; but the Ministers of Canada when they were over here last year made me a fur ther defimite offer.They maid: \u201cWe have done for you as much as we can do voluntarily and freely end without return.If you are willing iporate in any way we are pre- Tred lo reconsider our tariff with a view of\u2018 eeeing whether we camnot give agreement as being somet = ada as though it were a separate country, t it a a part of one der entéaled to claim, as have said, the privileges of that Empire, regards this be § wore than a domestic agreement; and it bas penalized Canada by placing upon.Canadian goods an additonal duty.Well now the reason for that is clear.The German newspapers very frankly explain that this is a policy of reprisal, and that it is intended to deter other colonies from giving to us the same advantage.Therefore it is not merely punishment igflicted by Germany upon Canada, but it is a threat to South Africa to Australia, and to New Zealand: an this policy, as a policy of dictation and interference, is justified by the belief that we are so wedded to our fiscal system that we cannot interfere, that we caunot defend our colonies, and that in fact any oue of them which attempts to entablish y kind of special relations with us do so se own risk and must be left to bear the brunt of foreign hostility.In my mind that is putting ue in a rather humilating posi .(Hear, hear.) I do not like it at all.]1 Enow that will follow if we allow it to prevail.It is easy to predict the consequences.How do you think that under such circumstances we can approach our colonies with appeals to aid us in promt.ing the union of the Empire, or ask them to bear a share of the common burden?Arè we to say to them.\u201cThis is your Em- ire, take pride in it, share it«< privileges?\u201d hey say: \u201cWhat are its privilege! The ivil to if we treat vou aw Plations and frie rende: if we show you kindness, we give you preference.you who benefit by our action can only leave us alone to fight our own battles against these who are offended by our action.\u201d Now is that free trade?(Cries of \u201cNo I am not going further to-night.(Cries of \u201cGo on.\u201d) My object is to put the position before you: and above all.as I have just come home from great colonies, [ want you to see these matters as thev appear to our colonial fellow-aubjects.There is no doubt \u201cwhat they think.and there is no - doubt of what great issues hang upon their decision.THE ALTERNATIVES.I maid just now is this free trade?No, it is absolutely a new situation.(Cheers.) There has been nothing like it in our history.It was a situation that was never contemplated by apy of those whom we regard as the-authors of free trade.What would Mr.Bright, what would Mr.Cobden, have said to this state of things I do not know.It would be presumptuous to imagine; but this I can say.Mr.Cob- den did not hesitate to make a treaty of preference and reciprocity with France (hear, hear), and r.Bright did not hesitate to approve his action; and Î cannot believe if they had been present among us now and known what this new situation was, I cannot believe that they would have hesitated to make a treaty of preference and reciprocity with our own children.\u201d (Loud and prolonged cheers.) Well, you see the point.You want an Empire.(Hear, hear.) Do you think it better to cultivate the trade with your own people or to let that go in order that you may keep the trade of those who, rightly enough, are your competitors and rivals?I eay it is a mew position.I say the people of this Empire have got to you further reductions, especially in re eo iz us; outsfle there are 10,000,000.rtion of population is going to en Eg ted, gomg off each in his own +++.4 38 I TIME +OR MOULDING THE EMPIRE.\u2018 (Hon.Joseph Chamberlain at Birmingham.) \u201cNow is the time when we can moyld that Empire, and when we and ose who live with us can decide its future destinies.Just let us consider hat that Empire ir.Here ix the United Kingdom there are some 40,000,000 andure?Do you wish that if these 10,000,- become 40,000,000 they shall still be closely, intimatel affectionately uni- to you\u2014(cheers)\u2014or do you contemplate the possibility of their being.A direction under a separate lag?The ques- on of trade and commerce is one of the greatest importance.Unless that is tisfactorily settled 1 for one do not believe in a continued union of the How long do you suppose that this pro- 0000000004600 9090 gerd to those goods in which you come will do this if you will meet us by giving us a drawback on the small tax of ls into competition with foreigners, and we which you bave put upon corn.That was an offer which we had to refuse.] must say that, if I could treat matters of this kind solely in regard to my position as Secretary of State for the Colonies, 1 should bave said, \u201cThat is a fair offer; that is a generous offer from your point of view, and it is an offer which we might ask our people to accept.But, speaking for the Government as a whole, not in the interests of the colonies, 1 am obliged to say that it is contrary to the established fiscal policy of this country, and that we hold ourselves bound to keep an open market for all the world even if they close their markets to us (laughter), and t, therefore, 80 long as that is the manddte of the British public we are not'in a position\u201dto offer any preference or favour whatever even to our own children.We cannot make any difference between those who treat us and those who treat us badly.(Cries of **Shame.\u201d\u2019) Yes: but that is the doctrine which 1 am told is the accepted doctrine of the frec- trader; and we are all free-tradera (Cries of \u201cNo, no,\u201d and laughter.) Well; 1 am.(Loud laughter.) I have considerable doubt whether the interpretation of free irade which is current amongst a certain limited section is the true interpretation.(Hear, bear.) But.1 am perfectly certain that am not a protectionist.But, 1 want to point out that if the inerpretation is that our only duty is to buy in the cheapest market without regard to whether Wwe can sell, if that is the theory of free trade which finds acceptance here and elsewhere, then in pursuance of that policy you will have to forgo the advantage of a reduction, a further reduction, in duty whieh your colony of Canada cffers to you manufacturers of this country; and you may lose a great desl more, because In the speech which the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Minister of Finance, as he is called in Canada, made to the Canadian Parliament the other day, which he las just sent me, I find he say that f we are told definitely Great Britain, the mo her country, can do nothing for us in the way of reciprocity, we must reconsider our position and reconsider the preference that we have already given.GERMAN RETALIATION ON CANADA Well, these are big questions, and this particular question is complicated in a rather unexpected manner.The policy which prevents us from offering an advan- age to our colonies prevents us from defendi them if they are attacked.Now, suppose you and I are that the British Empire is one and indivisible.(Cheers.) You and I are agreed that we abeolutely refuse to look upon any of the States that form the British Empire as in any way excluded from any advantage or privilege to which the British Empire is entitled.We may well, therefore, have sup an agreement of this kind by which Canada does a kindness to us a matter of family agreement: concerning nobody else; t unfortunately Germany thinks otherwise.There is a German Empire.LL.The German Empire is divided into taten\u2014Bavaria and, let us saf\u2019, Hanover, ony, and W'urtemberg.They may deal between themselves in any way they please.As a matter of fact they have en: tire free trade among themselves.We do not consider them separate entities; we treat the German Empire as a whole.We do not complain because one State gives an advantage to another State in that Empire and docs not give it to al! the rest of the world.But in this case of Can - ods, Germany insisty upon treating Can- consider it.I do not want to hasten their decision.They have two alternatives before them.They may maintain if they like in all its severity the interpretation, in my mind an entirely artificial and wrong interpretation, which has been placed upon the doctrines of free trade by a small remnant of Little Englanders of the Manchester school who now profess to be the sole repositories of the doctrines of Mr.Cobden and Mr.Bright.They may maintain that policy in all its \u201cseverity.although it is repudiated by every other nation and by all your own colonies.In that case they will, be absolutely precluded either from giving any kind of preference or favour to any of their colonies abroad or even protecting their colonies abroad when they offer to favour us.That is the first alternative.The second alternative is that we should .jumist that we will not be bound by any purely technical definition of free trade, That, while one chief object free i - change of trade and commerce betwen ourselves and all the pations of the world, we will nevertheless recover our freedom, resume that power of negotiation, and, if necessary, retaliation (loud cheers), when- Ever our own interests or our relations between our colonies and ourrelves are threatened by other people.(Cheers) 1 leave the matter in your hands.1 de- should be ope sion on thia subject come to settle it; but it seems to me that for good or for evil this is an issue much greater in 1ts consequences than any of our local disputes.(Hear, hear.)

mediate RAILWAY TRAVEL YESTERDAY WAS .ABOVE THE MARK.There is no doubt in the mind of the average railway official that the strike in Montreal affected very appreciably the passenger travel at this holiday season.A very marked advance over the similar season last year was anticipated, and yesterday it was thought that twenty-five per cent.would about cover the increase in traffic.Now tbat some of the figures are to hand, however, it is seen that the calculations of the officials were astray, though on the right side.The increase in traffic over Victoria day season last year will be fully fifty per cent.Cal: culated upon this basis, it is thought that had it not been for the strike the travel would have doubled in volume.The figures given have reference, of course, to those who availed themselves of the spec- jal rates.Last year Victoria day was marked by rain, and was, therefore, not congenial for holiday outings.AUSTRALIA AND PREFERENTIAL TRADE.Special to The Montreal Star.Melbourne, May 26.\u2014At the opening of the Federal Parliament to-day, Lord Tennyson said that the urgency.of domestic questions would prevent an im- consideration of preferential trade, although the Ministers regarded with favour the idea of such relations with the Empire.SAVINGS BANK INTEREST.The Provincial Bank Establishes a 7 \u201cNew Arrangement.For some time past the provincial management of the Provincial k of Canada has been studying a modification of ite deposit system, and after coneulting with some of the first banking experts of the Dominion, they have put in force a plan which has met with complete success in large banking institutions in pe, and which the directors of the Provincial Bank believe will be not only satisfactory to their deposits, but conducive to the fur ther prosperity of the institution in question.: Instead of paying a fixed rate of interest, say, three per cent.on their deposits, as: is the case with other banks, the Provincial Bank will, in future determine the rate to be paid by the length of time the money is allowed to remam on deposit iu the bank.Since the depositors of the bank are practically against loss by a clause of the charter referred to below, it is held to be reasonable that the new policy of increasing the rate of interest according to the length of time Thich the money remains on deposit wo -

common to both markets were, down a couple of L points, while those stocks common to the Boston market and the local markets were higher.For the moat part stocks Jess lable to outside Influences and of domestic origin were steady.Since the market closed last week the strikes of the Montreal Street Raliway men and Montreal Power men were in- sugurated.and the fact that the stocks 1 of those companies held steady at ¥Friday's closing figures demonstrated that the worst had been discounted by the | market.Power sold for the mout part at 84, as jt did on Friday at the close, while the.bulk of transactions in Street Rall- way were at 250, compared with 20}; at the close last week.The.stocks depressed were Canadian Pacific, Twin City and Detroit United.When the market closed last werk Pacific was rolling at 129%.Twin City at 107, and Detroit United at 8 whereas to- \u201cPacific opened at 127, advanced %.During the local holidays Boston made quite a change in the prices for Do- minlon Iron and Coal.Yesterday in that market prices advanced, but fell oft again.To-day, however.thera was a firmer tone, doubtless due in a Enod measure to thr denial of Mr.Ross of the Various canards sent around about the companies, and the assurance that the Dominion No.1 fire has heen effectually disposed of.Tron common sold here from 17% tn 19.and Coal from %% to 85.com- rared with 154 and 894 respectively last weck at the close.Dom.Iron pfd.was steady at 4614, .© Such stocks as Toronto Ralls at 106 to 10546, Richelieu at 87, Dominion Cotton at 45, and Toledo Electric at 28 were unchanged.Nova Scotia Steel Improved, selling at 9 to 94, compared with 81 at the close last week.A couple of lots of Payne sold at 141.Taking everything Into consideration, the market has every reason to be thankful that the holidays tock place when they did.With the continued break in New York, the local market could scarcely have escaped being adversely affected vesterday, more particularly as ft is believed it would not have taken very much of an unfavourable ,character to have precipitated more liquidation.Last week a good deal of the buying was of an investment charaeter, notably in Montreal Street and other traction stocks.The Montreal Clearing House returns of bank clearings to-day were $4,806,871.Large buying orders in Wall Street lift- cad the price of speculative stocks sharply in the opening dealings and made a good impression on speculative sentiment.Uns ton Paciflc and Canadian Pacific rose 7; St.Paul, Southern Pacific and Baltimore and Ohlo, 5: National Railway of Mexico preferred, 1'y, and Southern Railway pfd.14.There were running sales of 3.500 shares of Atchison at 73% and 7414.compared with 73% last night.Mo.Pacific opened down 14, but immediately railied a point.Thero was fractional declines in a number of stocks of secondary importance.St.Louis and San Fran.and Denver and Rio Grande declined %.- The conspicuous factor In the New York market was the cessation of the urgent liquidation which has mystifled and disquieted speculative sentiment for some tima past.Pricés were alightiy higher during the second hour than in the first, but buvers were disinclined to follow the advance.A price level about a point over last night for the market leaders was pretty fairly maintained.with a decreasing rate of activity.Prices yielded a fraction generally at noon.and 8t.Paul reacted a point.Bonds were firm and dull.It was lrarned from official sources tos day that the proposed merger of the Nay tional Bank of Commerce in New York and the Western National Bank will not take place.: Toronto has the best of the situation and may be in a position to dictate to Montreal as to the future relations of the com- panties in case of a reorganization.Mont- reui might not be averse to this, as the dictator of terms naturally would have to provide the necessary funds to place the proposition upon its feet\u2014a matter of $7,000,000 or $8,000,000.\" Henry Clows says: \u201cLast week's fiuc- tuations were chiefly due to the operations of traders who were temporarily bearish.In the absence of unfavourable developments they are just as likely to work for a reaction when the decline exhausts itself.There is still a spirit of caution in financial circles, and the big leaders continue indisposed to encourage activity.Apparently they are walting for the outcome of the crops and the autumn money markets.While these con- ditons last, good stocks ought to be a purchase on sharp breaks and equally good sales on the rallies.One danger point is the cotton speculation; that should be closely watched.\u201d J.uaidlaw & Co, New York, send Mr.1cuis 8.Coldwell, local manager, the tol- lowing Wall Street advices: While scattered liquidation continued in the market this morning.the heavy pressure to seil noted yesterday was absent, and good buying occurred, both for forrign and local account.Support to Penna.was particularly good.and Erie, deapite some heavy profit-taking, held very steady.Rumoured that some jm- portant announcement is pending on latter stork.General list reflected chiefly professional operations for a rally.+ Y.ondon close: Consols for money, 91 11-18;

Made His Re-ap- pearance in Montreal Yesterday in ¢The Devil\u2019s Island.\u201d \u201cThe Strollers,\u201d a musical play in three acts, with Miss Marguerita Sylva in the ttle role.is the attraction at the Academy of Music this week.The open- my performances yesterday atternoon and evening were well attended.The play is satisfactory in many respects, but it is scarcely satistying im the main.It will hardly ravk with the other.musical shows which have appeared at the Aca: demy this season.It is lighter, the dialogue is coarser, the chorus is weaker, and the general effect 3 not so pleasing.The principals, however, are with cne or two exceptions, capable artists.Several possess well trained and pleasing voices.And others are good comedians.As a rule the play took with the house, and several of the songs and choruses made a hit.The orchestral accompaniment to many of the solos and choruses was wretched, however, and greatly inter fered the success of these numbers.As a rule the music of \u201cThe Strollers\u201d is pretty and catchy.But the orchestra its beauty yesterday by its un familiarity with the score.Miss Marguerita Sylva in the title roie scored a success.She is the possessor of a sweet and sympathetic voice which was heard at its best in her solo in the sec ond act.This was rendered in French.Miss Dorothy Hunting shared with Mise Sylva the honours of the evening.Her song in the third act was one of the gems of the performance.Miss Carolyn Hues- Us, as the ballet dancer, was vivacious and sprightly.and made a hit.Mr.Neil Me- Neil, as the gaoler, played his part and sang his solos with acceprance.The comedy work was in the hands of Mr.George G.Boniface.jr., Mr.Gilbert (lay- ton.and Mr.David Torrairee.Their efforts were generally pleasing, and several of their songs took well.The chorus was rather weak, and the scenery gvas mediocre.The costumes, is a rule.were excellent.Theatre Francais.Alphonz Ethier.so well known to Montrealers through his work at the Guy street Theatre last year.met with an enthusiastic reception at tbe Francais yesterday, where he appeared as Maurice de la Toure in the Aubrey Stock Company's production of Devil's Island.The plot of Yhe melodrama is founded in part on the story of the Dreyfus case.The staging 1s of the very best.while the play 1s a good one of its class.Mr.Ethier in the role of the hero received the plaudits of the audience over and over again.As Countess Nina Petvosky.the accuser and later the liberator of the prisoner on Devil's Island, Miss Bertine Robinson jusutied fully the high expectations which had been aroused through the announcements.As the enrrespondent for a New York newspaper who mana to ge the news out of his rival in büsiness Mr.J.Moy Bennett scored distinctly.while the rival in business impersonated by Miss Una Clayton got the final and decisive scoop when she took into camp her successful competitor.Two distinetly American characters were those of Gay Huntres and Oscar Astor, taken by Miss Percita West and Mr.Harry Taylor, who buth secured high commendation.The.dignified and important General Regan, head of the French War Depari- ment, found an admirable exponent in Nr.Harty T.Tee, while the villain, Prince Boris Orloff: in the person of Mr.Francis Morey played his part well./ The production contained some strik ng coenes, the first being the accusation, then the rendering of the verdict of guilty, and thirdly.the rescue of the prisoner by the Countess.Proctor\u2019s Theatre.Mr.Thomas E.Shea, with a fair com- .opened a five weeks\u2019 engagement yesterday in Proctor's Theatre.There was a well filled house at the evening perform ance.The offering was a melodrama, \u201cThe Pledge of Honour.\" which was strongly reminiscent of Hugh Conway's book \u201cCalled Back.\u201d The stage setting was adequate and the whole performance went with a swing.- Mr.Shea is an actor of much ability and bad many opportunities to display his art in the character of Gilbert Vaughan.Mr.Shea has a resonant voice and his acting has the added charm of being natural.: Mr.Spencer Charters in the villain's role did a lot of heavy work in a commendable manner.The comedy element was well taken care of by Mr.Frank Guparian.Miss Charlotte Burkett, the leading lady, did not bave many opportunities of showing her talent, but nevertheless created a distinctly favourable impression.The balance of the company, including Mr.George L.Kennedy, Mr.J.E.Gilbert Mr.James Cassidy.Mr.J.Irving | Southard, Mr.Harry McComas, Mr.Johh worth, Mr.Charles Holl d, Mi Emma Southard and Miss Alice Endres took their various roles to the satisfaction of every one.: Theatre Royal.The Theatre Royal has a good vaudeville and burlesque entertainment this week.The New

just been issued containing papers relating to the progres oï administration in the Transvaal and Or ange River (Colony.Lord Milner reviews sme of the principal problems which have presented themselves in the work of re-settling the new colonies, and en-the progress so far made in dealing with them.The period over which the review extends is from the end of June last, when the work of restoration commenced, till the close of February.The chief points dealt with are the return of the prisoners of war: replacing the people in their homes, supporting them and helping them to resume their normal avocations: the initiation of new agricul tural settlements for indigent burghers and British settlers who had served in the war; the making good of the war losses of individuals, whether Dutch or English; the return of Outlanders still detained at the coast at the conclusion of the struggle; th= revival of the principal industries of the country, and the importation of stocks to make up for the waste of war.As to the first subject.the prisoners have heen restored without complaint.The only outstanding difficulty was with regard to the seven hundred and seventy- eight in India and seventy-nine in Bermuda.who declined.as a condition precedent to their return.either to take the oath of allegiance or make the declera- tion.REPATRIATION.With regard to the repatriation of bur- ghera within the two colonies, all the refugee camps have ceased to exist, and practically all the occupants have been provided for with work, either on their own farms or for others.Amid many difficulties, owing to the want of animals and agricultural implements, and:only by the most strenuous efforta of the Adminda- tration, the people were enabled to plough for and sow the mealie crops of 1902.3.The extreme depression wich characterized the farming population then passed away.The first and most pressing problem\u2014 that of providing from tlie land the abso- Ite necessaries of life for the ensuing vear -\u2014seemed to have been more or less solved.Bul a very exceptional drought set in.\u201cAfter all the strenuous efforts, alike of Government and people.to gét seed into the ground, there is.I fear, a great probability, amounting, in some districta, Lo an absolute certainty, that the crops will not ripen.\u201d During the next six months \u2014from the middle of March last\u2014the contingency has to be faced of the Government having again to supply people with food, though not.of course, to anything bike the extent of the figures of the preceding winter.FARMING.Lord Milner sums up the general position as regards the farming population of the two new colonies as follows: \u2018The land-owners have, with few exceptions, returned to their farms.Of the landless class (the by-owners), the major ity have also returned to the farms on which they worked formerly.on the old terms; that is to say, a tolerated existence, under which they enjoyed the use of a portion of the land to grow rood for their maintenance and run their little stock, in exchange for a somewhat indefi- mite amount of service rendered to the land-owner, generally without any formal lease or security of tenure whatsoever.But a considerable number of byv-owners have been differently provided for.With regard to those, whether land-owners or by-owners.who have returned to their old homes under the old conditions, the wealthier men-1 mean those who have any considerable amount of ready cash \u2014 are very busy repairing and re-stocking.The rest, who have litile or no ready money, and who are unwilling.as most of them are unwilligg.to raise money on the security of their land.have, nevertheless, been enabled to cultivate a reasonable amount of land and to acquire a rmall quantity of stock through the aid of the Government.\u201d RETURN OF REFUGEES.\u2018Coming to the return of British refugees and the revival of dustry, Lord Milner says {here is every reason to believe that the British population of Johannesburg and Pretoria is now considerably larger than it has ever been.\u201cThe progress of mining iteelf has not a so much abeolutely slow, as slow compared with expectations.\u201d An unreasonable expectation that \u2018things wouid at once return to their old condition had produced profound disappomtment, and public opinion had been focussed on the labour difficulty.That the Rand will get back, though slowly, to the figure of 1%.000 natives for the mines, lord Milner thinks, may be regarded as certain: \u201cBut the troublesome fact is that.with the immense development of which the mines are capdble, they would soon be in A position to employ 200,000, and even a larger number if they could get them.At the same time the \u2018demand for native labour in other directions is inc daily.Besides the gold mines of the Rand there are other gold mines in the Trans- veal to be worked er tested.if thers are only the hands to do J partons deposite of coal are only at tl inni of their development, to say nothing of the wholly unworked stores of iron, - per, and other minerals.Cee.Ther: is an infinite variety i the solution of the problem hue preset.ed, but so far no panacea has emerged from the Babel of conflicting theories.Th» loudest, but by no means the best informed or most influential, section clamour for the adoption of measures to compel the black man to work.When closely examined, all the tades on this subject resolves iteelf into the advocacy of higher taxation on the native populs- on Lord Milner then diskusses the ques tion- of taxation, and does\u2018 not believe peer .Ma: Head, net I beginning from Barrow, parsed Guen Race inwacis or \u2018CASTORIA.; + that, if taxation were abolished.the au ply of labonr ai tha mings would ha dimin.\u2018 Lord Milner Reports on @nditions in South Africa ished, or that, if it were duubled, the supply would be increased.COMPENSATION.Dealing with the question of new wel tlers, he says their introduction on the land 15 subject to very special difficulties, | and will come to nothing without continuous care and effort on the part of the Government.But his conviction is aa profound as ever that it needs only such care and effort, cuntinuous and \u2018unpre- apitate, to make it ultimately a great success.Further experience has not mod:- fill the views he put forward a year ago.«© puts aside as absurd the idea that those who advocate a policy of land settlement have any intention or desire to dispossess the Boers for the sake of dispossessing them.There is plenty of room on the land for both races, given a progress- we policy of agricultural improvement by irrigation, stock breeding, and so forth.Ax to compensation for war losses, Miner writes at considerable length: \u201cThe position was.indeed an extraordinarily anomalous one.Where the nulitary authoritides had taken stock or other property and given receipts for it.or where it could be shown that they ought to have given such receipts, they -vere prepared to pay.and, indeed.have paid in most cases.whether the holder of a ve- ceipt was a friend or an enemy.In many cases, though this was accidental, our enemies were actually paid before our friends.But to all other claims against them the military authorities turned a deaf enr.+ .What the aggrieved parties in this instance said in effect was this: \u2018We do not want to share in the three millions.Apart from the fact that the relief to be derived from that sum will only bear a very small proportion to the lôsses of persons rharing it, we decline to be put in the same position as the bulk of the former burghers.The grant of the three mi\" lions is an act of grace.but our claim is à claim of right.It is based on your definite promise, or on the fact that we have actively assisied you.and suffered in consequence.\u201d The justice of this contention has now been admitted, and ro has the necessity for greater promptitude in dealing with claims of this character, and, indeed, with all claims.And an arange- ment has been come to, and is now being carried out.whereby the work of the Military Compensation Boards ends with the payment of receipts, and all other claims presented to them are to be handed over to the civil authorities.\u201d Besides the above despatch, there are several important documents which do not lend themselves to summary treatment.and must be studied as they stand in the Blue Book.They comprise a batch of an- nexures to Lord Milner's report, an_independent report by the Lieutenant-Gover- nor of the Orange River Colony on the progress of administrative work there, separate reports on the Transvaal Depart ments of Agriculture, Education, Mines, and Natives, afd a report on the South African Constabulary by Major-General Baden Powell.: \u201cTAMATE.\u201d Stevenson writes in a letter.\u201cChristmas I go to Auckland to meet \u2018Tamate\u2019 the New Guinea missionary, a man I love.Tamate was the Scottish missionery in the South Seas, James Chalmers, whose autobiography jand letters have just been edited.200 .\u201cTamatc™ is the name of the natives of Raratonga for \u2018\u2018trader.\u201d\u201d When Chalmers first landed, the native who took him ashore in a boat asked, \u201cWhat fellow name belong rou?\u201d » He answered, \u201cChalmers.The native misunderstood and roared out, \u201cTamate!\u201d and the name stuck.Chalmers was an ideal missionary, an active, practical man, fervent, impulsive, us.v nce when he had been out rowing with seven other students, all went int) the water for a swim except Chalmers, who was not feeling well.Six had come out of the water, when the seventh be- gap to cry for help.Oue man jumped into the water and went out to him.The man tn distress pulled him down in terror, and both were in danger of being drowned.Chalmers called to the other men to plunge into the river and swim out, one a little bevond the other.so as to make a chain.Then he swam toward the two who were drowning.He secured them as they were going down for the last time.and seized the hand of the rescuer next to him.So they passed the two men from one to the other, and got them ashore.Chalmers\u2019s skill.as well as his courage.was revealed by the instantaneous formation of the plan that saved His

right place.If any cluss in the communi (ee ty are interested\u2014and vitally interested\u2014 in having a divorce law which grants relief as a matter of justice to rich and poor alike, they are the women.who may be compelled to suffer hideously by an iron marriage bond which enly the wealthy and the powerful can hope to break.And, consequently, any society or council which regards itéelf in any sense as a champion of women, cannot be better engaged than in battling for as sure justice for a tor tured wife as for the bereft owner of a ritled hen-coop.As the world goes, the husband who is fll.mated is much better able to defend \" himee{ than the wife who finds herself in a similar tragic predicament.Often, she is absolutely helpless, entirely at the mercy of the drunken brute whom the law de clares has over her the rights of a husband.When she has children, the tragedy is doubly dark.And there 1s no help for her, unless she has the money and the Knawledge to get a special act of Parlia- nent passed, granting her Tiberty.\u2019 .Of course, if she lives in the Maritime Provinces or in British Columbia, ahe is 1n LU such bondage.There they have divorce courts; and yet nope of the fearful evils, which those\u201d who oppoee divorce on a basis of justice are always predicting must flow from that \u201claxity,\u201d are to be seen.No one will have the effrontery to suy that the Maritime Provinces are on a lower moral plane than Quebec and Ontario, or that the pcople .of British Columbia live Jcoser lives than the inhabiante of Manitoba or the Territories.Yet in these provinces divorce courts are in full swing; and relief is not a matter of money and influence.If the various woman's organizations will take yp this battle, they will be struggling for an act of justice to their sex, which fair-minded legislators cannot much longer withhold.Such of our legislatore and ordinary employes, just as it generallw \u201cas oppoée any sort of divorce on religious does in the remune ation or payment for \"grounds are in a different position.We The mont direct 4 ay to effect the desired end, viz., the \u201cimpossibility of suspended service, 18 to insist that all employes in thes services shall, in a Yuasi- military manner, be individually enlisted for certain definite periods and that any refusal to maintain the terms of the en- .listment shall be mutiny, and, ae such, shall be a criminel offence, involving the summary punishment of gaol without the x opfion of a fine.; If the law does not at present sustain euch terms of agreement, or enlistment, the law, in the interests of the whole public, must he altered, not only to sustain, but to dictate, such conditions of service.Yours truly, (Montreal.)
