INSANITY.Prof.Puppe Proposes Medical Examination Before Trial.Gpecial Cable from a Montreal Star Correspondent.Berlin, December 4.\u2014Prof.Puppe, of the University of Konigsberg, formerly chlef physician of the Berlin criminal courts, proposes that any of the Kaiser's subjects charged with lese majesty \"hereafter be examined as to their san- ty before undergoing trial.Among eleven persons convicted in Berlin during the past three years, Prof.Puppe found three born imbeciles, four plleptics, three inebriates and one senile old man.\u2018The harmless nature of this offence and the unversal absence of motive lead Prof.Puppe to urge the necessity of subjecting such cases to medical examination with a view to determining responsibility.Last week a man was arrested for lese majesty because he called the Kaiser a Social-Democrat.Acquittal followed his explanation that the Emperor is so restiess in doing good that people find it difficult to distinguish him from the Socialist.SULTAN JUGGLES WITH DIPLOMATS.Bpecial Cable from a Montreal Star Corre spanden te .Constantinople, December 4.\u2014 While the Turkish soldiers, aided by cold and hunger, are steadily reducing the Christian population of Macedonia and giving rise to conditions of misery and death probably never before known even in the Balkans.Abdul Hamid and his Ministers ire re ported to have elaborated a plan of diplomatic jugglery which is delaying and may even defeat the reform scheme.Discussion is raised on almost every point, and when forced to yield, the Turkish diplomats hasten to heap difficulties in the way of practical results.By these tricks any amelioration of the lot of the Mace domians may be delayed until Europe breaks off the negotiations and summarily executes the reforms.FREIGHT TRAIN WAS BLOWN UP BY DYNAMITE.Dover, Del., December 4.\u2014 A Pennsylvania Railway freight train on the Delaware Railway was blown up by dynamite Wedneeday.The crew were killed and

shipped on Tuesday, together with a lot of stores.are being removed.but the work is made difficult owing to the, sharp angle at which the vessel lies.\u2018 When the ship struck her scuttles were open, and it is said that through these the Water rushed at a rate wholly uncontrollable.The.officers\u2019 quarters being all situated In the stern, the gold-braided men of the ship were at once flooded .out, and it is likely will be forced to take refuge on board the admiral\u2019's steamer.Rear-Admiral Bickford and H.F.Bullen, one of the proprietors of the British Columbia.Salvage Company,

the Christian Catholic Church to submit to an examination.This action was taken on motion of Attorney Semuel Ettel- son.who filed the original petition in bankruptcy against Dowie.Federal Custodian Rediesk said yester- day that his inspection of Dowie's books led him to believe that Dowie is better off financially than any bankrupt he had ever known.The custodian added, however, that the receivership would undoubtediy last several mentbs.Receivers Blount and Currie arrived 1n Zion City to-day and took up the work of examining into the condition of Dowre's finances.The reoeivers are at a loss to understand where they can get the money to pay workmen employed in the factories.Dowie, bowever, declares his people will work for nothing provided they are furnished with food.While there is enough provisions in the city to feed the people for a week now that scrip is being accepted, it is feared by the receivers that hard times may come when this 15 gore.A prominent camming provision

MONTAGNARDS MAY BUILD AN ARENA Are Angry at Being Taken in'by Nationals Hockey Club.WILL PROTECT THEIR TEAM Will Make Application for Admittance to Both Senior Leagues\u2014 Hodge With Wanderers.The officers of the Montagnard Athletic Association, are breathing all sorts of threats agaipst the Nationals, for the manner in which the latter got ahead of them, and promise that if thelr intermediate team cannot get into either of the two ig leagues, they will rebuild the Montagnard rink into arena form, and ctart another senior league of their own, with some of the intermédiate teams, \u201cthat by long and faithful attention to hockey affairs have deserved à position !n senior ranks.\u201d \"Yes, we will start and rebuild our rink and make as fine, if not a finer, .rena out of it than the present one, if we are forved to do so, for it will pot interfere with out skating.\u201d said Mr.Cnstin, the secre- tury of the Montagnand rink.\u201cWhat right have the Nationals in the Senior League.They have no players.If they had not got ahead of us we would never let them use our rink, but without teliing us anything about the new league or about what they intended to do.thev made arrangements with us to practice « our ice, and to get Wednesday for matches with other clube.\u201cThen they go and join the new league.and now they are trying to take all our good players away.Our players have tried playing with the Senior Shamrocks and they did not like it.They want to make up a Senior team of our own.' \u201cSo we have decided to apply to the Canadian Amuteur Hockey Association for admittance.\u201cIf they refuse us we will apply to the new league: if both refuse us, we will, of necessary, change our present rink into an arena.and start another Semor league, a league of clube that play for the love of hockey.not for gate money only.There ie no truth in the report that we intend to form a Sunday League.\u201d It was suggested in last night's Star.that Hodge would probably go with his team mates and join the Wanderers.He has done so.The baptismal meeting of the ew league will take place at the Savoy Hotel to-mor- row night.BIG PREPARATIONS FOR ST.ANDREW'S BALL AT THE WINDSOR.The Windsor Hall was a scene of much activity to-day.Preparations were being made for the ball to-night, and everywrere there were signs of the &pproeching event.Men in overalls were swarming.Some of them were high up in the dizzy vicinity of the chandeliers and long streamers of evergreens were being swung over to the opposite walls.Festoons of bunting were being draped: flags were being placed in position and the hall that bas been the scene of many remarkable gatberings was being transformed into a wildering maes of colour.;

\u201cian Cattle Claiming That British Government Should Remove it as First Step Towards Imperial Preferential Trade Relations.Mr.Peter Lyall, at the meeting of the Bickerd:ke Club last evening, anmounced that he was not yet the candidate of the Liberal party in St.Antoine division.During the course of his speech, he and am not sure that I shall be.In a strong Conservative division like St.Antoine, it is a matter which will have to receive the most careful consideration.\u201d Mr.Robert Bickerdike, the patron of the club, made a vigorous apeech, in which he demanded that British statesmen should do something for Canada before any more concessions be given to Canada.He said, in speaking of the embargo on Canadian cattle: \u201cI am heartily in favour of a preference within the Empire, but would it not serve the purpose of the whole Empire better.if the Righi Hon Mr.Chamberlain 18 in earmest, as [ hope and telieve he 1a, would it not, I say, prove it, if he would begin b,

reply is that the War Office excludes Canadian beef from army contracts.Then they ask for more recruits, and we send our Strathcona Forse.and their re ply is, they simply add insult to injury, Save

Canada will in- siat on her rights and demand that she be created a treaty making power, then and \u2018not till then will this Canada of ours be able to take her place amongst the commercial nations of the world.\u201cI believe that this Anglo-American- Alaska deal may prove a blessing in dis guise, and may serve to waken up our whole Canadian pation.regardless of politics, to demand our rights, and my advice to Great Bntain would be to keep her eye on the United States, as this great American nation have now had a taste of blood, and seem determined to grab everything in sight.\u201cA new era has dawned in Canada.the time has at last arrived for the development of her wonderful resourcs.Henceforward she will not be dependent in any measure v;on the tariff whims of Unit States politicians, but is certainly destined to enter into rivalry with our reighbours in the markets of the world.\u201cOn November the 4th, 1993.the British Government issued an order requiring Canadian cattle landed in the United Kingdom to be slaughtered within a limited time, at the port of debarkation.Before this action Canadian cattle had been free to be nw from to place in the United Kinguom, and it was possible to hold them over from one market to an- otier if prices were not considered .At the name time, there was considerable trade done in stockers, half fed animals.which Scottish and English farmers bought and finished.\u201cThe ground of the British Government's action was the alleged wacovery of a case of pleuro neumonia in an animal from Canada t had been landsd in Scotland.In connection with this care after a thorough investigation Laving been made, it was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that this animal had contracted the disease in Scotland.Efforts were at once made to secure the withdrawal of the, scheduling of the ground that pleuro pneumonia was a disease unknown in Canada, that it had never existed.nor did it exist at the present time, and I might just say here, tuat it has never ex since.and no better proof to that effect is necessary than the fact that during the st twelve vears over a million and a Pali of Canadian cattle have been Jlaught- ered in England and Scotland without a single case of disease being , or ring! a suspicion that any of the Canadian cattle were diseased.\u201cSir, there are many in Canada i including: m f, who say, long ma embargo Tain, if only a valid reason is iven for it; yet why should the Mother Entry stigmatize our cattle as unhealthy, and perpetuate whal - they know was an error from the begimmihg.Fortunately, however,

Bell, the British commercial agent in the United States, prophesying AD extensive invasion of the British mar kets by American firms in the \\uture.Mr.Bell writes that the decreasing demand in the United States tor many classes of manufactured gouwds indicates that American firms will soon be looking abroad for markets in which to dispose of their surplus products at almost any price.,, \u201cIt would\u201dbe well, therefore.\u201d says Mr.Bell, \u2018to bring before British manufac turers and shippers m an unmistakable manner the progress made in recent peurs by American exporters in securing old on the markets within British pos- ecesions, particularly for certain classes of goods which conld be manufactured an the United Kingdom.\u201d \u2018Mr.Bell asserts that the great exten- tion of their plants by American manufacturers in rééent vœurs was necessitated by the home demand.which has already begun to fall off, and hence he forecasts an extensive \u2018\u2018dumping\u2019\u2019 of American Evods' in British markets.He says that While the total of American exports during the past year has decreased 6.4 per ceyt., Amencan exports to British

correspondent of the Telegraph says that pontical observers there have given no attention to the re- Jurts ut a settlement, because the terms stated in the story are utterly inconceivable.Meanwhile all the despatches from Japan speak of continued excitement and impatience.A despatch from l'okio says that the optimistic reports recived from Europe met with the utmost incredulity, and are scouted by the public as part of the Russian scheme to dupe European nations.Further meetings have been held by the constitutional and progressive parties, and a coalition between them against the Government is regarded as almost certain.The matter will be decided al a meetin: of the leaders of the parties.It is reported that a Japanese Minister at &t.Petersburg has twice within tén days demanded a

was Lhe object of a gatner- Ing yesterday afternoon at the residence of Genersi John W.Foster, formerly Um- ted States Secretary of State.It is understood the movement has the hearty approval of President Roosevelt.Among those present were Admiral Dewey, General Nelson A.Miles, Wayne McVeagh, Thomas Nelson Page, Gifford Pinchot, John R.Proctor.Gen.H.V.Boynton, D.C.Gilman, Charles C.Glover, ihstrict Commussioners MacFarland and West, John Joyedson, Charles J.Bell, William J.Boardman and W.V.Cox.Monsignor D.J.O'Connell was unable to be present, but telegraphed General Fomer his sympathy

scope of the plan, which is to be pushed vigorously in the hope of securing at an early date the cooclu- sion of an arbitration treaty following the general lines o the Hay-Pauncefote treaty of 1897.The' following statement ie authorized: \u201cln April, 1896, a notable conference of the friende of international arbitration was held in Washington, attended by all parts of tme United States.The conference declared in favour of arbitration between the United States and Great Britam, and it was followed in January, 1897, by the signing of such treaty by United States Secretary of State Hay and the late British Ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote.The treaty failed by a close vote to receive the two-thirds majority required for its ratification.It is understood that prominent among the objections urged ugainst this treaty were the compti- cations growing out of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.and the controversy over the Alaskan boundary.These having been disposed of it is felt by the friends of international arbitration that the present is a favourable time to re-awaken public sentiment in favour of a new arbitration with (Great Britain.They point out that France has already taken the lead of us in this matter by the convention recently made with Great Britain, when the United States, as a kindred nation, should have set the example.\u201d SPANISH CABINET TENDERS RESIGNATION.Madrid, Dccember 4.\u2014The Cabinet, which was formed in July last by Mar quis Villaverde, has resigned.At ves- terday\u2019s Ministerial Council the Marquis Villaverde.the Premier, proceeded to the Palace and tendcred the resignation of the Cabinet to King Alfonso.The res signation of the Ministry was the outcome of difficulty encountered in getting the budget voted, in the face of the Republican policy of obstruction.It is expected that General Azcarrnga, president of the Senate, will be charged with the task of forming a new Cabinet.The sudden decision of the Cabinet is believed to be due to the fact that King) Alfonso will start for Lisbon, December | 12, and that Premier Villaverde was anxions to get matters settled before His Majesty\u2019s departure.The Republicans sec the assistance of the Car- lists and Democratic Liberals in opposing | the Government's pro) to pass a bi to enforce the budget, provisionally after January 1, in the event of the Chamber failing to adopt the budget, and the Cabinet seemingly having become hopeless of getting the bill adopted, decided to re sign.Don\u2019t \u2018tenance of British supremacy the neces- | INFANIS

announcement.SOME OF THOSE PRESENT.Mr.J.P.Coutlee.president of the Monk Club, presided.With lum on the platform, were Mr.F.D.Monk, M.P.Mr.Rufus H.Pope.M.P., Hon.L.O.Taillon, Hon.Alphonse

opened by Mr.J.P.Coutlee, president of the Club, who congratulated the people of St.James division on coming in such large numbers, and ou the choice which their delegates had made of a candidate.He introduced Mr.F.D.\u2018Monk, M.P.Mr.Monk received a splendid reception.and the applause was prolonged and hearty.He had come as an elector of the division to hear the answer that would be given by the man they Rad chosen as their candidate.The affluence of electors in the hall proved that they were really in earnest when they asked Mr.Bergeron to become their candidate.In his friend Bergeron, they would have a man of whom they would be proud.a man who would not fear to stand up for their rights and privileges in Parliament.The electorate of St.James had a duty to perform towards Mr.Bergeron, and they should accomplish that duty.He had been uniustifiablv despoiled of the votes which the electors of St.James had east in his favour, and the people owed it to themmelves to take

visit he makes to the French-speaking electors of Montreal.He expressed the confia ace that he felt in the sense of outraged honour of the French (Canadian electors, who would not fail to seize the first opportumity to punish the ballot tirieves and to resent the wrong done, by electing the man who bad been despoiled.In Mr.Bergeron they would have a representative known all over Canada.and respected for his ability snd his talents.He belonged to the party that had built up Canada, and was about to take up the burden of carryi on ite work.The country n having a breathi , the creative

of hats, band- kerchiefs, and eve hing available reached a climax.One elderly gentleman excitedly jumped up on a \u2018chair, as the Jere oran tod narted the whole i tbe Be, James Boy.ng three cheers

stolen.If they went into this fight together, he wanted the le of St.James, when they went to the a, to fold their ballots well, to look the re heard of a meeting of protest.turning office square in the face, and see that their ballots were put where they belonged.(Cheers) HONEST ELECTORS ILL-TREATED.The honest electors of St.James had been ill-treated.The walls could not speak, but .he Courts have spoken.An old man, who bad long enjoyed the cou- fidence of the people, and who was probably less to blame than his advisers, had lost his seat and been disqualified.Others who had concocted their criminal plans in the very room whe e they were speaking had been ment to gaol, only to be re leased by those for whom they had done the dirty work.It had not been pleasant for him to undertake the unpleasant work of punishing the corruptionists, but he had beheved that it was due to the honest electorate of St.James to show the world that the honest verdict of the people had been stolen.He then took up the offer of a further candidacy.He recalled his long years in politics.Nearly thirty years Lave passed since he first appeared on the \"ublic platform, and nearly twenty-five years vince be was elected a member.He had enjoyed the confidence and friendship of the great men who had built up Canada.Fired by their example and precept, he had devoted his life to politics.Two classes especially needed the services of representatives in Parliament, the tarmers and the working: men.fe was told to-day that he had no standing in the legal community.How could he, when he had followed his studies on the platform,and practiced in the House of Commons.More than that, it might seem incredible, but it had been admitted, he had once refused a judgeship and twice refused a Senatorship.This appeared incredible in view of the farce of representa tive government to-day, when at Ottawa the province of Quebec has had a lot of men who never take part in the debates, but simply remain around to vote, and vote with promises of positions in their pockets.He did not believe that was representative government.It was one man government.and though that man might be a distinguished son of the race to which they belonged, that was not the responsible government for which they had fought and bled.The most important c to consider was the plank which lad been the main plank of the Conservative policy im 1878\u2014protection.Mr.Bergeron then made the declaration quoted in the open- Ing sentences.Going on, he said that during the day he had met a personal friend, a Liberal\u2014for he counted ro enemies even among his strongest opponents,\u2014who had asked him whether he would accept the candidacy.On his reply that he was not sure.the gentleman told him it was useless to think of it, unless he could put 215.000 into the fight.\u201cNow.men of St.James, is that i true?\u2019 asked Mr.Be n.(No.no).If 1t ia, if I had believed it true, IT would never have

Mr.Coursol, another Conservative, who hal died as the representative of the division.Another of their representatives was the immortal Cartier, He had sought no [ation but had died in England, while ooking after the in'erests of the ooun- try which he had helped Macdonald to build.He would not name the Liberal representaives, but the people know where they were, SYMPATHY AND SUPPORT.Their fathers bad elected the men lot of men whose names he had mentioned above.They had invited him to come amon them, and he expected from the men of to-day the same sympathy and support which their fathers had given the great renresentatives of the Conservative party in other days.He did not want to appeal to party.politics, but the people of St.James were intelligent e to appre cate questions without ing whether a man was red or blue.A man was sent to Parliament to study and judge the questions that came up, not to be marked with a red or a blue mark which could never be effaced.He repeated that he accepted their fer, and he u the men of St.James to organize work.That was all that he could ask they.He would help by his word and his devotion to the cause, he could not help financially, because he was, perhaps, the poorest man in Canada to-day.He did not think, however, that it was necessary to Use money in a division like St.James, and for that reason he had accepted the candidacy.If they did him the honour of \u20aclecting him, he would assure them of one thing, that he would return beforet them to give an account of his stewardship.He would not go to Ottawa to seek a position for him- MR.F.J.BISAILLON'S ADDRESS.Mr.F.J.Bisaillon, K.C., followed.He disclaimed being à politicien but he was an elector of St.James and as such he wanted to wipe out the stain on the fair name of the leading French-Canadian constituency in Canadas.They had Laval University, in their midst, they had the learned men of the Liberal professions, they had the best class of workingmen, yet the name of St.James went out as that of a corrupt constituency.The people knew someth: of the crimes planned in this very hall, but th did not know everything.Men who bad been picked up at the doors of gmols, and in dark places, had admitted to himself that they had voted twenty times, and been sworn eleven times, and they had been paid to do that work.When the prpof of the infamieh of poll 37 was laid ore

certain number of people who were all on one side or the other.Then there was the saving remnant, who studied public questions, impartially, and who voted one way or the other.He did not, by any means, de ise faithful partisans, but he recognized that safest portion of the electorate was the saving remnant, and he would appes to that section as the third arbitrator in the dispute between the rties.He went on with a review of the acts of the two parties.He protested against the statement \u2018that both parties were the same.He claimed that the Conservative party kept its promises, while the berals did not.© THE OLD STRUGGLES.Mr.Taillon recalled old struggles in his division.It was not the first time Bt.James took up a candidate who had no money to spend.They had done the same for him in years gone by.Citizens organ- i their own committees and went to work with a will.They could do now what their fathers and many of themselves had done some years ago.If they did so, they would redeem the honour of the division by electing Mr.J.G.H.Bergeron as their representative.Hon.A.Desjardins recalled the denunciations of their former member, who had spoken much on the platforms, but not at all in the House.Mr.Desmarais had denounced the speaker for purchasing guns to arm the an militia.He appealed to the women to save their boys who would be forced to go to all parts of the earth, even to Africa.The boys had ne to South Africa, and Mr.Desmarais ad not said a word either to approve or ocndemn that move.Mr.Desjardins recalled the work done by the Conservatives.They had established the canal system, and started the establishment of Montreal as an ocean port, besides developing the country on all sides.It was time that they returned to power to take up the work which

to the present have been utterly unable to find any trace of it nor have they been able to find a merchant or second-hand dealer who sold or exchanged the clothing.The revolver found in the room is a very large one, and is of the make generally used by cowboys.The coraner intends to leave no stone uniurned to solve the mystery.SAVED COMPANION FROM DROWNING IN CANAL.Henry Galbraith and Wihe Nelson,

WILLING T0 PAY HS SHARE Belleville Man With Property Here Favours Raising School Tax.More Money for Educational Purposes.Superintendent Arthy had something additional to say to-day regardmg the re plies which are beng received un response to the circular sent out by the Protestant Board ot School Commissioners in regard to the best means to ra:se additional funds for educational purposes.\u201cIt may be stated generally.\u201d sad he, \u201cthat very few arc absolutely opposed to increasing the revenue tor school purposes, but some influenual ple are opposed to the method gested b the Board, wviz., levying on real estate.The, think the addition should take the form of a tax oa Income or assume some other basis than real estate.\u201cThese weeme to be, however, a very general consensus of Protestant opinion im favour of obtaimng more money for education, eveu if there w no agreement as to the best form of levying the tax.\u201cOne man states, in a letter received this morning, that he will support any increase of taxes when the Commission comes to be elected by the ratepayers.As is generally known, the Board is now constituted by three members appointed by the City Council and three appointed by the Government.The correspondent vlaums that the Board, if elected, would be responsible to the people.but that, under existing conditions, it is Dot re sponsible to any ohe.\u201cAnother correspondent maintains that the fees ought to be increased in the elementary as well as in the High Schools to give the money wanted.and that no mere money should be raised irom taxes.\u201cSeveral say that they will vote for increases 38 soon as the Jews are excluded; that they are not prepared to pay for Jewish education.\u201cIt is proposed by another that the water rutes should be reduced and the elucation rate increased; that what 1s saved on the water should be put into education.\u201cA letter has been received from a man in Bdleville that rather puts to

owns real estate on St.Lawrence Main street in this city.He writes: \u201cAlthough my i children will never attend school in Mom.real I am heartily in favour of the Commissioners\u2019 proposition.The present state of affairs is a disgrace to the aty of Montreal, and I feel it my duty to express my willingness to bear my share of the cost of giving the children of Montreal the benefits of free schools and the best teachers that can be procured.We in Ontario enjoy these vantages.\u201d \u201cAnother writer 1s of the opinion that too much money has been spent on school buildings and that better results could be obtained by giving a simpler form of education free of charge and by increas ing the fees for the High School, also by confining all the schools to those who are legally entitled to use them.\u201d WOULD NOT CARE IF FIRE STATION WERE PULLED DOWN.In view of the dispute which 15 now going on between the architect and the city relative to the advisability of proceeding with the work of constructing the Youville Square fire station during the winter months, there is still a stray mason and carpenter to be Been about the place.Tha.city fathers argue that the work should proceed, while the architect claims that the walls cannot be constructed with any degree of satisfaction when the frost is in them.Should the fire station never be completed, but be torn down instead, there would be little grumbling among the merchants whose places of business are in this particular vicinity.For years, those who have business establishments In the vicinity, and others who are interested in real estate, urged the necessity of doing away with the old St.Ann's market, which stood there an unsightly old pile of uselessness.When finally the market Is removed there springs up in its stead a fire station which, while not upon exactly the same plot of land, is placed directly in what should be, the merchants claim, a roadway.+ At the present time this fire station is practically complete up to the first floor, and it will probably be well on toward next autumn before the structure is ready for business.What the merchants and others who have occasion to haul heavy dray loads of goods over the streets in this vicinity complain of is the fact that only sufficient space for two teams is left on either side of the fire station, the latter taking up all the central portion of the square.This gives a pair of thoroughfares, one to the north and the other to the south of the station, far narrower than St.Paul street, which is acknowledged to be utterly inade- guate to the demands of the traffic, and is constantly being blocked in consequence.: Merchants are predicting that in ten years\u2019 time this fire station will be pulled down and placed upon some other location, and the city will lose some $75,000 in the operation.ALL BARGES | REACHED KINGSTON IN SAFETY.Aiter no little trouble, on account of the ice in the canals, all of the Canada Atlantic Railway

Longer Be Allowed to Come into Canada.> VARIOUS VIEWS EXPRESSED.CUSTOMS OFFICE DECIDES Î the No Positive Opinion Against Raising ; Billing of Blood and Thunder Plays \u201c- j'erine street, for.the ho EE e Has Reached An Undesirable Limit.Apparently the Muntreal, and, in fact, ali the Candian public.buve seen the last of the theatrical poster, which depiots scenes of crime and violence.No longer will the small boy be able to stand open.mouthed and gaze at the blioody-minded villain slaughtering individuals by the score, and people will miss trom the dead walls, the representations of the bad man pouring Paris green into the tes cup of the woman who rejected him Even the man who annually gets in the way of the buzz eaw, having previously allowed himself to be tied to the saw log.will, if the law is enforced, be but a thing of memory, wo far as the bill boards are concerned.The woman who will be \u201csaved,\u201d \u2018\u2018saved,\u201d \u201csaved,\u201d eighteen consecutive times at each performance will be ubligel to content herself with the performance ,und not depict it on Haring post ers, for the Canadian Customs Department hag come to the conclusion that this sort of thing is passing all reasonable limits.Therefore the Montreal customs has received orders to refuse admission to all posters and handbilla which depict scenes of crime or violence.It appears that the Minister of Customs was awaited upon some little time ago by a deputation of church people who pointed out the demoralizing effect such posters bad, and also that the tendency was from bad to werse.Upon investigating the subject, Hon.\" Mr.Patterson became convinced that there was a deal of truth in the asserticns made by the members of the deputation und as a consequence, item 636 in schedule C of the Customs Tariff was amended a8 quoted above.In Montreal the scrutipy of these posters 13 a portion of the work entrusted to Dr.Ambrose, Doininion Appramer, who, if he thinks fit, will reject them.All posters and other work of this kind coming into the country pays a duty of fifteen cents pcr pound, and it lies altogether with the Customs Department whether posters shall occupy a position on the dead walls of the city or be sent back to the United States where they come from.The tendency of youth to take up revolver and gun practice to the detriment of everv one, but thc coroner and the undertaker has led a great many people to think that blood and thunder plavs and more particularly the billing of the same in flaming posters, had reached an undersirable Limit.Purify Water by Electricty.The Medical Health Officer today re ceived a communication from a local firm, saying that by a small outlay the city would be able to purify its water supply by electrical means.The proposal was made to give pure water to Montreal citizens at an additional cost to the corporation of 3 cents per 1,000 gallons.The let ter will be submitted to the Health Committee for consideration.Colhorne, Ont.\u2014Mr.Reuben FrandeH, an old resident of Colborne, died Friday in his 89th year.NOLL TO HAVE ~NEW DEPARTMENT Making Arrangements by Which Students May Learn

WESTMOUNTERS.The Westmount cars still amble along at four or five miles per hour, and the citizens of the municipality are looking upon all sides for reliet.The worst feature, as far ae Weat- mounters are concerned, is the changing of cars at Greene avenue, the residents of the suburb not by any means relsh mg the idea of standing out in the cold, cold world waiting for a through car which will

N.B., during which time the men at these collieries jumped out on strike without a moment's notice, nor the opportunity of seeing Manager Hargraves, who was confined to his house by sickness, Lor myself, I have enquired into the cause of the difficulty.to learn that an impossible demand was made concerning No.22 chute, No.2 slope.The custom ut these collieries has always been to drive the boards off chutes by meusure- ment, and to draw the pillars by what is called the \u2018run off the chute By the latter means the men share and share alike.except perhaps that a few isolated cases, where the majority of men working in a chute would charge a set or sets of miners with not producing their quota of coal.and ask th® management that such places be measured for the protection of the men who did work.This has been done where possible in order to maintain peace ani encourage the willing workers.Rut the regulation is that miners drive boards by measurement on their own account, and draw back pillars with the men in partnership, in the chute, and divide the \u201croceeds on equal terms.\u2018aeurement in pillars is impracticable, espe-ially ji: pitching seams where pressure has to be contended with, and the cuts become and often roof had.and.farther, miners working on the \u2018run of the chute\u2019 will load all the total mined, but if paid by measurement there is no inducement to do so, and coal is frequently lost to the company, so that the demand is alike | unr-asônable and unjust, and cannot be entertained.\u201cFor the month of September, in this 22 chute.onr set of men earned $6.03 per day each man.another $5.S8R 1-2.another $5.80.and the average earnings for every man in the chute for the month wnes $4183-5 per duy.In (tober the highest rate wis $6.42 per dav, and the lowe«t rite $244 while the average fate for the month was $4.76 per man per day.It is not therefore » quertion of wag» as the men ar~ makin- biz pav in this chute, a8 the etta hed rtitements will show.but another case of utter selfishness, where a irregular | ' with a capital of one hundred thousand \u2014 ps .0 CIS SET RE Ce number of the largest carrière, while working on\u2019 their own account driving the refuse to share their, labour with the rest of the men Ih this chute when drawing baék the pillars.\u201cIn other words, it is a grievance between the blg pay men afid the comparatively little pay men.Between the two the company falls or stands for the time being, until the men between themselves have adjusted their differences, and agree to return to work in partnership and in harmony.\u201cCan any justification be found for this action of u few men who are making so much money in tleing up this large concern, and throwing over 1,600 men and boys out of employment simply because they do not wish to share the result of their labours with their fellow- workmen, us has always been the custom at the collieries heretofore.To muke matters worse, 1 have had an unwritten promise from the lodge for some Years that In no case would the men be ordered out on strike until the committee, as a last resort, consulted me.\u201d W.B.NORTHRUP, M.P., IS CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE IN EAST HASTINGS.Spplial to the Montreal Star.Madoc, Ont, December 4.\u2014The first convention of the Conservatives of the new riding of East Hastings, formed by the recent gerrymander of the county.was held here yesterday, being called for the purpose of selecting a candidate for the approaching general election.Thc gathering was a large and enthuslastic one.Mr.W.B.Northrup, M.P., the present representative of the old riding of East Hastings, was the U:änimous choice of the meeting.Mr.Northrup, when called upon to address the meeting.got a rousing reception.After expressing his thanks for the honour bestowed on him, he went on to say that he believed that Canada was on the verge of one of the! great crises in her history, and much depended upon the result of the elections now close at hand.The unity of the Empire was the principal theme of his address.So fur as Canada was concerned.he felt that the Conserva-! tive party was the one most likely to: secure a closer and stronger union among the colonies of the Mother | Country.As evidence of this, he re- | ferred to the inaction of Sir wilted ! Laurier at the time when Great Brit- | ain had her hands tied in the South ' African war.and the invitation was extended to the various colonies for assistance.Mr.Northrup referred briefly to the extruvagance of the present Government.and especiallv to the proposal to spend between two and three hundred millions of public money upon such a useless scheme as the Grand Trunk Pacific.Sir Mackenzie Bowell, who followed.also recelved a very hearty reception.He, too, referred to the extravaganve of the Liberal Administration, and to the remarkable increase in expenditure.Mr.Harry Corby, ex-M.P., gave a rousing address.in which he declared that he considered the Grand Trunk Pacific Rill unly a scheme of the Federal Government to raise money to carry out the coming elections, and to win votes.Brief addresses were also delivered bv E.Gus Porter.M.P.: J.W.Pearce, MLA: A F.Wood, ex-M.L.A.and A.A.Richardson.METHODIST ORGAN DOESN'T WANT \u201cTURF.\u201d The Christian Guardian, a
