cars were immediately filled with working people, on their war to their day's labour.The action of the company appreciated.was much eight o'clock, seventy five cars were .on erent routes, and, as the day advanced, \u2018the number was gradually n- @rezsed, until at three in the afternoon, the company\u2019s official claimed that over a hundred and fifty cars were in operation.At the Cote street barns the customary SCcemes were repeated.: n re to work in groups of twos avd threes, and a prominent official of the company claimed that he had more men than be could handle.At the St.Dents barn nearly all the cars were in operation.At St.Henri seventy five per cent.of the old employes reported for work.The Hochelaga arns were alsp scenes of great activity.\"A-Star reporter took a trip on one of the Beaver Hall cars.There were no policemen on it.and enquiry from the conductor elicited the statement that he and the burly motorman were quite able io look after themselves and the property of

One of the old employes at Cote struet chatted with the Ntar reporter to-day.He was the first man to run a night var during the present strike, and fe was \u2018proud of the feat.He took a car to St.Henri last night at eight o'clock and returned half an hour afterwards.He ran the whole length of the journey there and back, and not a hand was raised, or a mouth opened, tu greet him.The company states that cars may be Fun to-night, in order to accommodate those who wish to attend the Nordica concert.This incident will be quite an experi ment.They think it will test the attitude of the strikers.The first car went out to Lachine Rapids today, and the various routes are being covered with a ten minutes service.A BOYCOTT HAS BEEN DECLARED AGAINST THE M.A.A.A The Montreal Trades and Labour Coun- eil held a special meeting last night __n Blue Label Hall for the purpose of dealing with the strike situation.À committee consisting of -ten delegates were appointed to interview Mayor Coch- rane to-day with the view of bringing about negotiations between the strikers companies.Mr.Rezin Orr, the International Treasurer, made a short address.He said the men were very firm in their determination to hold out to the very end.There had not been a break in the ranks as yet, end he did not believe there would be any until a settlement.satisfactory tu both parties, had been

the men who have remained faithful to the company, in run- mng their cars, as well as the men who have gone to work since the strike began, and the police and firemen at the sheds to protect the workers.A Star reported today accompanied Mr.Luke Robinson, intendent of the company, and Mr.P.be, assistant secretary, on a visit to the dining: rooms and {raiming quarters of the company at the Cote street sheds.On the first intimation that a strike was contemplated, Mr.W.G.Ross, secretary-treasurer of the company, took measures te care for the men who would be required to keep cars in motion during the strike.The upper portion of the conductors\u2019 and motormen\u2019s waiting room has been transformed into a huge refectory.Tables occupy the greater portibn of the floor.while the

delegates to present.It was announced \u2018that there were caly thirty-five ears circulating throughout the city yesterday.IL was aleg stated that a great many of the men had made up their minds not to re-enter the employ of the Btreet Railway C'omvany.They intend to ro to the \u2018United States, where they say much better cs are being paid for that class of work, SUBSCRIPTION LIST HAS BEEN OPENED FOR SUFFERERS.That the citizens of Montreal are not anmindful of the interests of the street railway employes, who were injured in the riots on Sunday last, was strikingly evident yesterday when a subscripuon list was opened for the benetit of the sufferers by the members of the Stock Exchange.It was not long before a gener- pus amount had been subscribed.The readiness with which those on \u2018Change subscribed was an indication that they appreciated the courageous conduct Council, Railway Company when others of its employes went out on strike.Among the employes who were injured on Sunday were: Conductor Morrison, Conductor Lefubyre, and Messrs.Desliers.MacDougall, Robinson, Heroquelle, Fox, De Blaire, De Villiers, Leger.Lessard, Vanier, Clavet, Lahawe and Maisonneuve.The

We do not know whether the suggestion of the three-milliondoNar loan emanated from Ottawa or from the board.We suspect, however, that the commissioners have fallen into a trap skilfully laid for them by the Hon.James Sutherland.It has taken a great many years to make the federal government} recognize the proper status of the port of Montreal, and it is unfortunate that such a retrograde step should have been taken.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014.A VISION OF DOOM.The eminent Professor of Mathematics at Johns Hopkins University has contri buted to the current number of McClure's Magazine an article bearing the startling title, \u201cThe End of the World,\u201d in which an attempt is made to describe the final Federal Government (any human race, but ail organjc nature 1s destined to be overwhelmed and effaced.This event Professor NewcomB assigns to a date several thousands of years 1m the future, but he bas not taxed bis imagination to apy extent in describing the civiliezcion of that distant time.The sod] institutions he speaks about are all quite familiar to us.There are still magnates and millionaires, from which we may infer that there are still labour unions and walking delegates.Newspapers are still left on doorsteps and tele graphy \u2014whether wireless or not the Professor does not say\u2014still holds its own.His illustrator shows us fire engines of the exact type now in use.The most starting change of which we read \u2018a that \u2018all gentlemen dined in blue coats with gilt buttons and wore white neckties with red barders.\u2019 What costume the ladies had adopted the Professor has not ventured to tell us, but if his illustrator is to be depended on the street habiliments of both sexes were precisely as we have them to-day\u2014a great compli ment to contemporary \u2018taste.The high silk hat, optliving the Pyramids, still stands, if not four square, with all ils cybndrical volume, to every wind that blows, while ladies\u2019 hats express just about the same ratio of ornament to utility to which we are accustomed, As to the ladies themselves\u2014they are all right.It seems, however, to be an uncom: monly dull world upon which the stroke of doom is about to fall.\u2018\u201c\u2019The daily newspaper chronmicled- litlle but births, marriages, deaths and the weather reports.A subscnber often found at his door a paper containing little more than the simple announcement on an otherwise blank page\u2014\u2018Nothing worthy of note hae happened since our last ifsue'\u201d At what.price these valuable sheets were rold is not indicated; nor bave we any hmt as to what people talked about apart from births, marriages, deaths.and the weather.One almost wonders that the human race had pot died before this of intel lectual inanition.Almost every scientific discovery bad been made thousands oi years before, and, in the application of inventions to the practical needs of life, there was almost nothing left to be-done.The war hatchet was buried so deep that there was no possibility of digging it up again, and all social and political arrangements had been so perfected that things went on as by machinery.Were people happy?! We are not told.We do learn that \u201cthe only history of great interest was that of a savage time, lying far back in the mists of antiquity, when men fought and killed one another in war.\u201d That's us-\u2014we feel like being ungramena- tical at this moment\u2014beyond a doubt Well it's a pleasure to think that our mis- deods and shortcomings are destined to add a little spice to the exi perfected race that is to be of the However, while we are ex lainin about the condition of mankind vommething is happeming in the heavens.Our favoured descendants have long since established communication with Mars, and now Mars sends a signal that a \u201cdark star\u201d is in straight for the sun with a speed that bas already reached 30 kilometres a second, and is continually increasing, and that it would strike the sun in about 210 days.Lhe next thing we are told is a Little singular.Although science in that day had preity nearly yielded up all its secrets, and the whole world had reached, it must be presumed, the very ne plus ultra of intel lectual cultivation, there seems to have been on the part of the general publie, 1n- eluding the gentlemen who dined in blue cvals with gilt buttons, a greater degree of ignorance as to the probable effecta of a large heavenly body falling.at an incalculable speed, into the sun than we ran readilg believe exists in our own day.The scene, let us state, is in the then principal city of the world, known as \u2018\u2019Hattan, \u201d not far from the site of the Manhattan of today.which in a former age had been wiped out by an earthquake.In this great city \u201cthe first men to see the possibilities suggested by this announcement was the Professor of Physics.\u201d This gentleman gathers his assistants round him and delivers an address extremely appropriate to the babes and sucklings of any school where elementary science 1s taught in our day.He doesn\u2019t want to frighten them, but-i he is not mistaken, there is going to be a hot time on this old planet when the hour arrives for the collision.The science of that distant age, when science has all but spoken its last word, is extraordinarily like the most popular science of the present.The Professor invites his hearers and their families to take refuge, when the time comes, in a vast underground laboratory: and here, to he prepared for emergencies he lays up a six months\u2019 supply of provisions with seeds and plants of all kinds for starting the gorid afresh.Well, the drama proceeds.The dreadful truth leaks out that the world may possibly be destroyed on the coming 12th of December.The dark star has become visable to the naked eve.It grows Jarg- er and larger: hy and hy it can be seen in the daytime.Still the scientific men have not asserted positively that the end of the world is at hand, and hope 1s yet mingled with fear.Nome men are #0 agitated.we are told, that they allow their notes to go to protest; which shows us that banking 18 to be carried on in the dim future very much upon the present lines.In some ways tbe wile narrative makes us feel not only up-to-date but up to doomsday.Why, however, prulong the agony\u201d The dark star arrives on time, plunges into the sua, and.by the force of its impact, generates a heat which quickly proves destructive to all hie, anr mal and vegetable, on the earth.The very seas boil and generate vapours which condense in scalding rain.The professor of physics and his crew are the sole survivors; but.as was observed of a certain party who fought with a god in Homeric times, they are \u2018not for long.\u201d Creeping out of their suffocating den after some months imprisonment, they emerge into terrible heat and bliading light.The earth is absolutely bare.The sun is gone and is replaced by a luminous miet giving an intenser light than his rays had ever yielded.The Professor of Physics makes | some appropriate remarks, commencing.\u201cSuch is the course of evolution.\u201d The sun, he said, was about to grow cold\u2014 of which nothing in the condition of the world as pictured to us gave the slightest hint\u2014and needed to be rejuvenated by an everlasting dig in the nbs.Everything would now start afresh, and possibly a much better world might result than the one of which they had witnessed the end, whereupon, the party, real izing that they were lingering superfiu- ous on the stage, with one consent lay down and died.The purely scientific parts of the story are well done.but the setting 1s crude, and of anything like psychological insight there is no trace.Still the end of the world will come.Fatal Fire in Vermont.Barre, Vt.May 27.\u2014In a fire.which destroyed a boarding house, a dweliing and two barns at Barre Quarries.two persons were burned to death and one was seriously Injured.The dead are: Peter Matrin, aged 78 years.and Miss Odina Morrisette, aged 14.Annie Nicholson was badly hurt by jumping.To-Night\u2019s Appointments.Academy\u2014'' The Strollers.\" Proctor's\u2014Shea Dramatic Stock Co.Theatre Francais \u2014 Aubrey Dramatic Stock Co.Theatre Royal\u2014Vaudeville and Lburles- THE PASSING HOUR.Automobilists are anxiously discussing the question whether pr.nol the Irish race is to be suppressed.The man that can suppress the Irish race is not born yet.Chicago is golng to celebrate its centennial next September.In honour of the occasion the Chicago people are going to reproduce Fort Dearborn and the old residence of a French-Canadian, who bulit the first house outside the pallisade surroundi the fort.By that time we may be discussing plans for reproducing the Chateau de Ramezay.the most interesting rellc of Old Montreal destroyed by clvic vandals.The programme of the tour of the members of the Imperial! Parliament has been changed so as to enahle them to see the \u2018Toronto Exhibition before September 12.By that date it Is hoped also that \u201cCap Sullivan will have returned to Toronto, Fight thousand \u2018'hicago barbers are threatening to strike, and the laundry employes have already struck.The city will soon look as though it had a Popu- Ust convention in session.The Rev.David Barrington, of Windsor.Ont., has two grievances.One, that there are too many weddings in Windsor -and they interrupt his studies.The other, that there are not enough wed- dings\u2014his stipend being principally made up of wedding fees.The Untted States couples who want to \u2018enter the united state seem to go to Windsor.to get married as naturally as they afterwards go to Dakota to get divorced.History repeats itself.In 1812 and 1837 the American invasions of Canada failed.General Orr, commanding the forces in Chicago for Canadian invasion and de- + struction of commercial activity, has been defeated.President Meloche's vaulting ambition seems te have become the customary cropper.Now that the street cars are running again, we can resume our complaints against the weather.The strike situation rather reminds none of the old fable of the monkey.the cat and the chestnut.But the chesnut is stil} where It was.Every car that runs bears eloquent testimony to Mr.Mulock's discretion in staying away.If a prize-fight is brutal, what do you call an automobile race?Mr.Tarte has taken advantage of this breathing space to stick a few more javelins in the Hon, Minister of Marine and Fisheries.The High and Well-Born Ensign Huss- ner's case is of interest as showing the moral effect at close range of the German Emperor.(he characteristics of an Industrial Bogey an, RAZOR VAS ALL RIGHT.\u2018Does the razor hurt you?\" asked the barber.\u2018No, the razor is al!

\u2018 As Mr.Chamberlain doubtless had planned, his Birmingham pooch in which his views on the necessity of adopting measures to knit the differnt parts of the Erpire into closer bonds were first enunciated has caused more earnest discussion and given occasion for more cloge thinking than any other similar utterance by a British Statesman for many years back.The leading political papers of Great Britain in their editorial otlumns evidently folt it safer and wiser to confine themselves at first to general comment and criticism rather than to attempt any specific General trend of English opinion; The following extracts will show the TIMES CONTRASTS BALFOUR\u2019S 1 SPEECH WITH CHAMBERLAIN'S \u2018The Times said in its leading editorial: Seldom has a Minister been faced by a deputation composed of so many dissatis- of Rutland, waited on him.It can- »ot fairly be maintained that his answer Was at all calculated the large publie outside whom they represented.We cannot at all admit that the 1 classes would be asked to submit to any appreciable charge, if the corn duty should retained, though ibly bat was done a year ago by Sir Michael dicks-Beach suggested to the agricultural classes that they had a chance of obtdining protection, in the future, though not in present, for the growing of corn.At any rate, it is practically certain, as Mr.Balfour has carefully explained, that the duty imposed last year Sir Michael Hickg-Beach was not intended to give tection to the British farmer and the Brit- à miller, and, in fact, did not do anything of the kind.It is evident from the statistics which the Prime Minister had before him, and which he brought forward in his reply to the deputation which Mr.Chaplin introduced that there is a very n margin in regard to the importation of grain and of flour, and that the market price of bread cannot be material ly affected by the imposition or the remis- E the condusion that the tax, whatever may be ite effect in this way, wae \u201ca great burden'\u2018\u2019on the raw material used by farmers\u201d\u2014a burden nst which, we may observe, no articu- fate protest has been hitherto raised in quarter\u2014and that it ought, therefore, to be taken off at the earliest op- ty.The agricultural classes do not on the tax as injurious to them, and certainly there is no opposition, am their moet tive persons, in out of Parliament, to the retention of an which, without having any appre tH on the income tax, with the certain- eA that, as population increases, the yield the duty will be larger from year to year, while the consumer will feel the Charge less with the growing prosperity of the community.Important as are the interests of the farmér and miller, it is Dever from their \u2018particular pe \u2018view that we have \u2018ap- proeched this question.It is when Mr.four passes from what he describes as sul oe proposed repeal of the corn tax that defence Government's decision sppeurs to us most inadequate.He admits one of the hopes entertained last year by the Government in reviving a emal Lex upon Sm was that it would broaden asia : taxation \u201d + ACI that, those hopes have proved te How, when, and where have they proved fala- cious ?.- +» .On the contrary, there was every indication that the price of bread not being in reality affected, the public was &+ ting accustomed to the nex tax.The Government was, in fact, living down the odium which was at first certain to attach to a messure so obviously liable to mis- ion.SR the prsuments he edduced yesterday have any force, they should have been taken into consideration last year before Sir Michael Hicks-Beach proposed to revive the corn tax.Nothing that we can see has happened in the interval to give them additional weight.We certainly do not want to see the fiscal sys tem of this country, made the battledore to satisfy them or| © and shuttlecock of the two opposin - ties, but it is still less satisfactory to see it made the battledore and shuttlecock of Ministers of the same party.There is a certain refreshment in turnin from Mr.Balfour's unsatisfactory reply ts Mr.Chaplin\u2019s.deputation to the other principal political event of yesterday.Mr.hamberlain\u2019s welcome by his Birmingham constituents was marked by all that cordi- hich, was to be expected on the occasion.For it was the first public visit of the Colonial Secretary to the city (with which bis whole career has been identified) since he returned from his remarkable South African journey, and the address which he delivered to his supporters was, as he reminded them, his first political speech in the country mince that great experience.His deliverance dbés credit to the sonic effect of South Africa.It was x over wi at vitality and force which the Colonial does not fail to import into all his utterances, which .never\u2019 characterised them in more generous measure than has been the case with his recent speeches in the House of Commons.But in Birming Mr.Chamberlain always rises to the occasion and be his remarks \u2018appropriately enough by recalling his first essays in ma- nicipal politics and recurring to the local patriotism of his eart- days, which time has only broadened into a farsighted devotion to the interests of the Empire.He went on to touch upon the position in South Africa, and in particular upon the great work of unification to which he bas contributed so largely.: this new experience is,\u201d he says, \u201cstill over him, and in the light of that experience he is not disposed to aggerated importance to the by-elections with which be was confronted upon his return.He is asked to believe them a serious sign of the times, and, above all, of the renascence of the Opposition, but be declines to recognize any striking evi dence of unanimity in the kaleidoscopic varieties of opinion represented by the new Liberal members.More interesting, however, than these polemical passages, forceful as they were, were those in which the Colonia) Secretary set himself to bring home to his listeners the greatness and the responsibilities of Empire.No other English statesman with guite the same authoritativeness as he on this question of questions, none with quite the same intimacy of conviction.The days have gone by when, as Mr.Chamberlain put it, \u201cthe one idea of statesmen was to get rid of the whole business.\u201d More abd more is our people becoming Imperially-minded, while at the same time it is pot \u2018fotgetfal of the lessons of the pest.It takes the great fact of colo emistance in the war as the earnest of eo much more of the kind to come.It is ready, im this acceptable time, to consider on their merits those supreme though delicate iops of cominercial policy, \u2018and fi them that of 1 prefers trade withèf-the) mpire, which may ret innings of ener tie betacon oa and inten round the world.Nobody bas done more to put these problems before his eountry- men in a stimulating and practical wey than the Colonial Secretary.Yesterday he performed an unquestionable service of this kind in putting before his constituents some of the main points in the policy of tariff preference, \u201cwhich comes to us from our children abroad.\u201d He used the example of Canada to point his moral, and he pointed it with force.He disavow- .ed all sympathy with protection, and his earnest appeal to consider what are the true bearings of free trade to-day cannot possibly pass unheeded.: WORD FITLY ily Mail said: As a statesman ane Ded, Mr.Chamberlain spoke last night to his constituents

present that the Colonial Secretary confined his attention, and in.so doing he still kept that true perspective that too often comes only in after years.Is not this matter, he i an issue more pregnant for good or for evil than all the local issues of the three kingdoms?To our mind there was an erarncst, almost a stern, warning to his coll es on the speech.It was a warning cou ed in loyal terms, but a warning none the less.In characteristic and forcible words he demanded that the attitude that had been taken up by the Prime Minister but a few hours should be abandoned.While to the latter the difficulties in the way of Imperial unity alone appeal, Mr.Chamberlain sees but the present o ni- ties and the ultimate necessity.Mr.Balfour meets the situation with a well-turn- ed recapitulation of a conventional policy.The Colonial Secretary indignantly.asks if 4a outgrown shibboleth shall bamp- er the progress and p ity o m- pire.He denied entirely tbe accusation he had | à protectionist,.but idiy subscribed to the wider interpretation of free trade.\u201cIt is the business of British statesmen,\u201d he declared, \u201cto do everything.they can, even at some pics ent sacrifice, to keep

generation.When a short time ago he had to explain to the House of Commons the policy of the South Africait loans, he treated the subject not as a mere matter of finance or as a purely local affair, but ae a part of a mational and Imperial policy.Yesterday he t went to Birmingham to meet his constituents in; and once more lifted up British politics to the high level of national action in its due

\u2014 Claimed by Some Speakers That City Was Unfairly Discriminating Against Employes.© © Montreal, May 27, 1903.To His Honour the Mayor.Dear Sir,\u2014 The Montreal Trades and labour Council beg of you to make it en- cumbent upon the Street Railway Company to run a regular service, as its contract with the city calls for.He said, as the petition showed, that the Trades and Labour Council was not satisfied with the street service now given by the Street Railway Company.e company had a contract with the corporation to run cars every day in the year; not- wi ing this, only a few cars were being run at the present time; it was the duty of the company to keep to its contract.Workingmen and others were being prevented from going to work on account of there being no car service.The Mayor\u2014*\u201cCars would be running all right now if the employes of the company bad kept to their agreement.\u201d Continuing, Mr.Rodier said that it was a shame that the strikers should not be given a hall either in the Bonsecours or Et.Jean Baptiste Markets, in which to air their grievances.Efforts had been made by the Building Inspector to close up the only hall the strikers had, by declaring it was unfit to meet in.He held that the strikers were being discriminated against in the most unfair manner.: \u201cI think it would be a wise thing,\u201d continued Mr.Rodier, on the City Council wo again appoint the ial committee that arbitrated in the last strike be 2.Said Council protests against the decision not to allow the striker8 to use the Bonsecours Market\u2018 and the St.Jean Baptiste Market, mn which strikers may hold their meetings.3.The Trades Council begs of His Worship to Mayor to intervene between the Street Railway Company and the strikers so the strike may be settled and that the present conflict may be brought to en end.The special civic committee might be again appointed in this connection.4.The Trades Council protests agamet the employment of firemen.on the cars who are compelled to act as policemen, to give protection to the property of the Street Railway Company, by using firemen as policemen, citizens are not given proper _ protection in the case \u201cof fire.| * 5.\u2018I'he Trades Council begs His Honour the Mayor to call n special meeting of Council, if deemed necessary, so the strike may be brought to a

Penitentiary years ago, told the truth.The escape was the most successful one for many years.Josie was serving for life for shooting a woman named Adams, in a disreputable house near Belleville.Josie was drunk, and, drawing a revolver, to shoot a man whe-had offended him, his sweetheart stood in front of the man\u2019s body and she received the contents of one barrel and died almost immediately.When sent to the penitentiary in 1876 he was hulf blind, but made himself use ful nursing the sick.In a few years he recovered his sight.In the penitentiary hospital he attend- a man named

the feeling of the Maritime Provipees members was that if any assistance to be given this ject by the country there must be full provision for the trapeport of Canadian produce to the Canadian seaboard.Mr.W.F.Maclean opposed the whole scheme, but if there was to be any publie assistance given, he would rather see it go to the Grand Trunk than to those who were simply seeking a charter which they could sell to others.Mr.J.G.Scott, representing the Trans- Canada proposition, declared it would be a mistake for any country to put its whole railway system close to the of another country-

that thosa for whose account it had been undertaken bad by resson of it placed themselves in financial sécurity.The second consideration - ng to the judgment that the market hdd reached ts turning point was the evidences on every side of the reckless and miscellaneous short selling to which the market haa réceatly been subjected.There ia net the alightest doubt that the largest business: of this kind that has been done by commission ho for a long time hag been recently ted them for the account of customers whose vertures fu the.market are ugusily oft the büving side.In num- berlesr instances havé untrgined specu~ ators of this description endeavoured to recoup their;

Whereas in the resolution adopted by the Fourth Con of Chambers of Commerce of une Empire, held in London, June, 1900, it was stated thet an advantageous commercial bond is one of the strong- eat links in national unity, and that the maintenance and strengthening of trade 1s the keystone of a mna- tion's successful development, Whereas it is the opinion of this Congress that it is in the interests of the Empire that some practical steps should be taken towards consummating such an arrangement; Whereas the British Colomes are admittedly rich in natural resources, possessing as they do vast areas of arable and mineral lands as yet undeveloped ; Whereas the Colonies are even now producing in rapidly increas ing quantities, grain, flour, live stock, wool, sugar, fruits, cheese, butter, etc., as well as the yield of the fisheries, forests and mines, all of which are continually required by the British consumer; .herefore Resolved, That this Congress ia of opinion that Great Britain can best serve the interests of the Empire by giving a preference in her markets to the products of the Colonies as against the products of foreign countries, it b believed that such preference woul (1) benefit Great Britain by largely freeing her from dependence upon foreign countries for her food supplies; (2) stimulate reciprocal trade +++.MACKAY INSTITUTE WILL SOON CLOSE The Mackay Imstitute for Protestant Deaf Mutes and the Blind will close for the season on June 17th, when all the pupils return to their homes, or to farms.There are at present fifty in the institute, a number havi been sent home at the time when suarlet fever waa prevalent, and as it was near the close of the school term they did not return this year.On Monday, Victoria Day, we annual picnic of the Institute was held in the grounds, and much enjoyed by the pupils, the number at present in the Insitute being reinforced by former pupils resident in the oity.oo There was no public examination this year, owing to illness, but a private informal examination was held by Mm.F.Wolferstan Thomas, Mrs.Robert Mackay, Mr.Charles Alexander and Rev.E.Bush- ell, of St.Matthias Church, Westmount.who are members of.the board of management.The pupils were found to have made excellent p in the various depart ments.The blind.students have improved in music, their teacher being Mr.George Payne, a former pupil.Lip reading, wood carving and carpentry vy, the pupils received special praise from the board.Mr.Charles Alexander in his address called special attention to the devoted unselfish work of Mrs.Ashcroft, who has charge of the Institute, and Rev.E.Bush- ell, speaking on the eame lines, sard he could praise the work of \u201cthe institution from long and intimate acquaintance with the staff and the pupils.The institution was a home in the best sense of the word, and a blessing to the city of Montreal.Mr.F.H.Badger Better.Mr.F.H.Badger, city electrician, is recovering from the severe iliness from which he wuffered for meveral weeks.He waa very ill.first with an attack of neuralgia from which he experienced acute prostration and from which he recovered only to suffer a relapse from au attack of pleurisy.He has been comva- i hopes to re turn to Montreal from Portland during FOR HOLIDAYS.| within the Empire;

a Further Resolved, That this Con- ress hereby urges the Imperial rovernment to appoint a Royal Commission composed of repreeen- tatives from the United Kingdom and the Colonies oto investigate conditions and to suggest such preferential treatment of trade within the E as would ensure fullest benefit thereto.FAST STEAMSHIP COMMUNI CATION Resolved, that this (Congress considers it of the utmost importance to the interests of the Empire that the United Kingdom and her Colonies should adopt a policy under which lines of steamship will be secured and retaired for (1) the provision of fast mail services on the several routes; and (21 the development and control of trade between the Mother Country and her ions, and between the Colon- les themselves.DESIRED REDUCTION IN NEWS- \u201c PAPER POSTAGE BETWEEN THE VARIOUS PARTS OF THE EMPIRE.Resolved, that the freer interchange between the peoples of the Empire.of the newspapers and periodicals published therein, would do much to strengthen Imperial unity, and that association of ideas and aims upon which such unity must be That such interchange would be largely promoted by a reduction of the postal charges on such mat ter.\u2014 That this Congress, therefore, pravs His Majesty's Government to réducé to the domestic rate the charge on newspapers and periodicals published in the United Kingdom apd posted to the Colonies;

In tbe letter whicn has been received at this office, the corresponde nt quotes largely from the New Canadian Compeny s prospectus, which mentions the approval of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, as pronounced at Perce, Gaspe, in 1901, and goes on to em- hasize the necewsity of a railway both ast and short from a t at the mouth of the St.Lawrence River.to save the trade of Canada.which it says is threatened by the disasters on the way up the river, and which would prove easily de- fenaible in time of pes tus are n connection with the prospectus, published statements from Marine Underwriters as to the danger of navigation in the St.Lawrence, and glittering etate- ments as to the things thas will come from the new route, as well as abundant promises of aid from the Government to thé New.Canadian Company's enterprise, the building of the Quebec Atlantic and Western Railway.ASKS FOR INVESTIGATION.The correspondent winds up by recalling that the directors of the Quebec Atlantic and Western are the directors of the Petroleum Oil Trust, which announced in England some years ago that of fifty wells bored ut Gaspe Basin thirty-two were flowing and that oil from one of them was spouting up to seventy feel, while the hundred men at work about the wells never saw any oil av all.He asks the Senate to be very careful and nvesu- gate the antecedent of the pe ple now applying for the char ter to bi railways, tremways, 1 freezers, elevators, or other things in thu interior of Gaspesia and down to Gaspe Bay, in accordance with the petitions signed by thousands of the people of the Gaspe Coast who want nothing whatever to do with the Atlantic and Western people or thew proposals.CONDUIT PROJECT TO BE LAID BEFORE - THE COMPANIES.The civic committee appointed to cou- sider the question of the city laying a neral conduit in the streets, held an informal meeting yesterday.It was ibe opinion of Ald.Martineau and Ald.La- porte, that before the city could vote a couple of millions for such work it would be necessary to appeal to the citizens, snd also have the project brought up befcre the islature.| If it was decided that the city should undertake the cost of the big undertaking ths cost of same would; be refunded by the various companies using the conduits.As various compapucs in the city have the right ét the present time of laying eon- duits the committee will interview them with a view of ascertaining whether or not they will consent to the installation of a general conduit.It is admitted that unless this consent is obtained there will be little or no use shideavouringy to secure powers from the Leginlature for the oty to lay a general conduit.The committee decided to meet again in ay and discuss the project more y.P LA PATRIE AND THE HARBOUR IMPROVEMENTS Discussing the St.Lawrence improve ments in La Patrie last evening, Hon.J.I.Tarte writes as follows: \u201c \u201cThe national porta of our ocouniry.be under the immedisie control of the Government.\u201cMontreal is the mast important of these ports.It should have long since ben equipped and prepared Jor the trade which its splendid geograpbi position demanded \u201cOur water communications, our rivers, our ports, have in the past been neglected in the mos! shameful manmer.\u201cUp to a few years past nothing had been done in the port of Montreal, and the work executed at Quebec had been done on the most out-of-date methods.\u201cThe ports of Montreal and Quebec are under veontrol of harbour commis sions.\u201cThey are composed of men, who in their respective occupations have their merit, yet they have been quite unable to sraep the general situation of the country.\u201cFor fifteen years the Montreal Harbour Commissioners discussed.hesitated, and discussed again plans and projects.\u201cThe present commission has done a hitle better than those which preceded it, yet it required most energetic prompi- ing to get anything done.\u201cWe shall do injury to no business man of intelligence in saying that if you go out of your own special line of à you must not ex to work miracles.\u201cThere is no bt that if the Domi- non Government had had the Montres! harbour works under its control, the situation would be much better to-day.- \u201cIt ie unressonable and con to the best interestd of the country st the freaton port of Canada should be over urdened with debt.\u201cThe Harbour Commission has just committed a blunder by declaring that it has decided te borrow once more.\u201cIt is to be b that Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his colleagues will better un derstand the situation than the Harbour Commissioners, and that they will pnsvide for future improvements at the expense of the Federal treasury.\u201cThe St.Lawrence can only compete with the American routes so long as we offer to the trade certain conditions of cheapness and security.;
