this outlay, and soy scheme like the elevation of the track would entail an expenditure of sever : millions and cannot be provided for, The Commissioners have no objection to the elevation of the railway system \u2018on the harbour front.oo their claim is that there is no possible chance of obtaining the money for any such project, and if & was borrowed,how can the ur Trust pay the large sum annually in interest which the expenditure Would demand without taxing the shipping unduly?There are, therefore.only two ways open.cne to build according to the plan laid down, or let the whole plan

wheels that could be heard even above the wild roar that went up from the throats of twenty-five thousand hulf-maddéned enthusiasts, \u201cBobby \u201d Walthour, for himself and his team mate, Munroe, won the six-day bicyele race in Madison Square Garden, which ended Saturday night at four minutes past ten o'clock.Forty yards separated Walthour from Leander, who was second at the finish being ten good yards abead of Floyd Krebs, behind whom came Fisher, an indifferent fourth, It was a spectacular finish, made more #0 by.the fact that of tne seven riders who took the pace to sprint the last mile, warned that the mcment for the supreme t had arrived, four fell crushing in a béap just as half the final journcy had been completed.: One of the unfortunates had a narrow escape from a fatal injury, and as it was he was carried fram the track with a long gash in his forehead.His wheel was a complete wreck and an hour after the race had been completed he was still unconscious.job Bedell was the rider most.seriously t According to the official timekeopers, the last mile of the.long race was covered in two minutes a twelve seconds.Others made the time almost ten seconds ower.Walthour was in condition to have eut short the time had he been pressed at tbe end, as he would have been had it not been for the accident which sent Breton, John Bedell, Newkirk and Fisher sprawling over the track.Although it lacked many of the sensational incidents that have marked long distance races that have been held previously in the Garden, and in spite of the fact that the ground covered was four hundred miles ind the record made four years ago by Miller and Waller, the crowd that was present to see the finish was greater than any other that ever filled that building for a like occasion.Every available foot of space was occu- fied It required one hundred reserve icemen to preserve anything like ol and even with that force it was im; sible to k the enthusiasts from taking chances of breaking their own necks as well as those of the riders.Everything ended fairly well, though with the excitement at the finish several exhausted women fell fainting and bad to be carried from the buil .Oue small boy fell and.was trampelled upon almost at the Madison Avenue entrance.Fortunately, he was oot badly injured, and was taken to his bome by his father.Proteste were filed with the management by the police early in the evening, but no one would take the responsibility of saying tha no more should be admitted.The Garden was filled with inflammable material, and it would have required only the suggestion of a fire to have started a panic.: During the last hour of the race the riders did little more than jockey for an advantage in the one last sprint.Ap eccasional switch of partners brought the great crowd to ite feet, and when the pace quickeped the playing of the band was quickly drowned out.When the wheels slowed down the hisses that were omitted were comparable only to steam being exhausted from scores of giant locomotives.* As the hands of the clock moved around in the direction of the figures indiceting the tenth hour, there was increased nervousness on the part of the riders, and er, this was quickly felt by the onlookers, many of whom began to shout for their favourites., It was perhape five minutes before the hour set for the beginning of the last mile that the several teams had their best sprinters out on the broad board CK.There have been many stories printed about the terrible conditions of the contestants.It has been said that they were stimulated by , that their brains were whirling faster than the wheels the rode; that their bones were broken an: that some would be crippled for life.All of these have been imaginative tales circulated for the most part for the pur of stimulating morbid interest in race.The men who etarted that last mile were each of them fit to ride \u201canother six days, were it necessary for.Welbon, - At the crack of the

lap.Leander had speed in plenty, and as Walthour had convinced\u2019 that he could take his measure when it became -necessary, he indulged him wi the lead for three laps, the fifth, , seventh and eighth.It was just at this moment that Newkirk and Bedell prepared to make themselves felt in the sprint.Walthour glanced up, and wus plainly surprised to find a new element m the race which he thought had lain between himself and Leander.Newkirk was out in front, and Walthour shot up on the outside and then came down so close thap Newkirk lost his head or his balance, or

Intermediate champions of the OR.F.U., at Toronto, on November 28th, by a score of 13 to 6.During the season the team made à record of 145 points lo their ponents\u2019 10, their goal-line only having been crossed twice by other teams.The gnmes played are as follows:\u2014 Oct.3-Westmount defeated Britannia in Victoria Park, 19 to 0.Oct.10\u2014Westmount defeated Montreal on M.A.A.A.grounds, 41 to

defeated every other club in the series by a large |.margin.They played during the seavon seven matches, winning all of them.The following is a list of the games played: \u2014 Sept.26\u2014Westmount

Lu total number of points scored by this team amounts to 146, while they only had acored 4 against them.It is to the credit of the Juniors that their goal line bas not been crossed this year by any team with which they played, the 4 points scared against them being the result of a penalty goa! from the field \u2018and two Kicks into touch behind goal.| Our third team, which was in\u2019 the Inde pendent Junior League, played three out of their four scheduled games, wttu oe following results: Sept.26-8t.Stephens defeated West: mount in Victoria Park.Oct.17\u2014\\Westmount defeated Grand Trunk

that many of them are still at school and that they competed with players far older and bigger than themselves.Besides these teams, the Westmount Football Club organized a team to play the English game of Rugby football in a competition with other city clubs for a hand.scme cup presented by Dunville Bros.of Belfast, Ireland.Owing to the fact that the other \u2018clubs were not ready to play the season passed without any games :baving taken place, wifh the exception of a match played on November 23 with Dal- housie College, champions of the Maritime Provinces, in which Westmount waa defeated by a score of 6-0.The match took place during a snow storm, and as our team had been colléeted at very short no- fice and only six of them had ever play- 1 that style of game before,\u201d the result was not\u2019 altogether - unexpected.Next ear with all the material Westmount han we hope that the Dunville Trophy will be added to the ones already in our Dossesssion.In reviewing the year I must not forget.the fact that Westmount applied last June for admission to the Senior Series of the QR.F.U.but were refused; we apphed once more-at the annual meeting of the Union ,held on December 5, and were admitted conditionally on the fact of any senior club dropping out.During the past season a great part of the it of Westmount\u2019s success is due to de fact that they had the valued us sistance of Mr.C.B.Powter, who came out to coach the team at every practice, being usually first on the grounds.Mr.Powter\u2019s orts were ably seconded by the captains of the Indépendent and Jun- jor teams, Messrs.Koss and McKay.The names of those who bave played on the two teams are: (captain), D.15-2 Intermediate\u2014A.Ross J.Brown, W.Baillie, G.Shewan, .W.Snowdon, M.Snowdon, G.Kelly, B.Brown,

Public Worship Held More Than Quarter Century Ago.Be \u201cMay the glory of this latter house be greater than that of the former, and in this place may God give peace.So may it be for His sake.\u201d With these words was closed the first sermon preached fu the new Olivet Baptist Church yesterday morning, by Rev.A.G.Upham, D.D., of Fall River, Mass., who from 1883 to 1892 was pastor of Olivet Baptist Church.Two beautiful and Impressive services markeä the opening of the new edifice, which, as the pastor, Rev.J.L.Gilmour, sald at the close of the morning service, was not dedicated or consecrated by any one dignitary, but by the people themselves.A large congregation filled the building at both services, und joined heartily in the singing of the special hymns, Souvebir programmes of the opening services were distributed among the congregation.These contained views of the first Taber- pacle erected in 1876, on Mountain street; the Olivet Haptist Church, second place of worship, on the corner of Usborne and Mountain streets, erected In 188; and of the new building.There were also the likenesses of the pastors who have officiated in the church from its opening until the present time.These included Rev.Dr.Gordon, 1875 to 1879; Rev.Dr.Upham, 1883 to 1892; Rev.Dr.Clarke, 1880 to 1833; Rev.W.B.Hinson, 1893-18%; Rev.Dr.Dadson, 1596-190: Rev.Thos.Gales, 1875, who ministered temporarily; Mr.E.V.Moseley, first Sunday School supvcrintendent, 1875 to 1861.and the present pastor, Rev.J.L.Gilmour.The order of the morning and evening services was also given.Beautiful anthems of praise were rendered.The hymns were ali chosen with special reference to the importance of the day: one of those sung in the morning, beginning \u2018God of our Fathers.grateful hearts are

Rev.Dr.Cramp, president of Acadia College, Wolfville, N.S, and a sister of Mr.G.B.Cramp, K.C., of Montreal.In the evening, \u2018Olivet, Fair OHvet,\u201d\u201d by Mrs C.J.Alloway, of Montreal, was sung.During the morning service the pastor announced letters of congratulation, which will be read at this evening's church social, including a cordial letter of congratulation from the First Baptist Church, and a telegram from Rev.Dr.Gordon, of Philadelphia.The importance of the occasion was dwelt upon in the earnest words of the pastor, who spoke of the many hopes and prayers which had gone to the building of the beautiful edifice, and the gratitude which should be offered to Almighty God that the work had been successfully accomplished.HIS FORMER MINISTRY.The Rev.Dr.Upham, of Fall River, Mass., in commencing his morning ser.moa, referred to the years of his ministry at Olivet Baptist Church, which had been happy and fruitful ones.His discourse was based upon I.Cor, 1, c.xxiv.v.: Christ, the power of God, and the wisdom of God.\u201d Power, the preacher said, was force applied, and Christ was the power as well às the love of God.There are three questions in connection with this text: \u201cWhat is the secret of God's power?Is the power equal to the demands upon Mt?and how ts the power to be applied and made active?\u2019 St.Pau) sald In reference to the first that to the Christian the power came to him as a consequence of constantly keeping in mind the story of the cross.Ît was the most powerful of all the holy teaching, and worked more reformation in the soul than anything else.Christ Himself and His Apostles In their teaching were ever laying cmphasis on the cross.Speaking on efficiency, Dr.Upham said that giant evils lay at the door of every one to-day.Wealth was abused, political life was corrupted.and commerce was used for the sake of bringing wealth and gratification of desire to men.Mission- artes and rum went to heathen lands in the same vessel, and society was impure tn many respects.The machinery of churches in this age was almost perfect, A Few of Our Many \u201c Diamond Hoop Rings beautiful Dia- ; The Three-Stone Hoop Rings ca bo

excellent and our assortment by, far the best.\u2026.GES re = x but inactivity was destroying the lives of Christians and cating the heart out of churches.Application was what men needed to think of.Christians must surrender themselves entirely into the- hands of God, and\u2019 that power which oome otherwise.Blothfulness among the followers of God would allow the most heaven-born methods of Christ to degenerate.Constant vigilance was required, and must be exercised in: everyday life.Among the common hosts of humanity was the place to begin work.All great reformatlions commenced among the lowly, und it was only by saving the submerged tenth that the upper ten could be effectively reached.To all it was given to become fishers of men.Some used a drag net.These were great evangelists, Others, such as teachers and pastors, brought fewer to Christ, and many humble Christians occupying no public position were the hook and line fishers, doing a noble work in influencing those with whom they came in contact.Olivet Baptist Church was formed at a meetiffg held on January 14th, 1875, and the first meeting for public worship was held on January 17th, in the Alexandra Rooms.The new church was formed on February 9th, 1875, when 58 persons organized themselves into a Baptist Church.The temporary structure, known as \"Olivet Baptist Tabernacle,\u201d was opened on July 18th, 1875, and on the 24th September in the same year an eccle- siustical council was held to formally recognize the new church, with\u2019 its membership of 123, which increased rapidly.The corner stone of the second building was laid on April 25th, 1878, by Mr.William Muir, who had had a large share in the congtruction and planning of the First Baptist Church, on Beaver Hall Hill.The first services were held on March 23rd, 1879.DESCRIPTION OF EDIFICE.The corner-stone of the new church was laid in May of this year, and the edifice Is now complete.It is situated in the north-east corner of Dorchester and Guy streets, on what was formerly the property of the late Mr.Robert Cowans, and both within and without is a handsome building.The church buildings are of red brick and gray sandstone, and the style of architecture Gothic.The church has a seating capacity for 650 persons, and the Sunday School 300.The inside measurements are 89 tget by 50, with a height of 43 feet, the tower being 72 feet high.Over the main entrance there is a large window, and two large windows are near the platform.The smaller windows are of opalescent glass, with designs of grapes, and a text at the baf¥e of each.The predominating colour of the interior decoration is old gold, with woodwork of heavy oak, and dark green carpet.The electric lights are fitted In heavy wrought iron fixtures.The organ, it is hoped.will be placed within a few weeks, and opened by Mr.John Hermann Loud, of Boston, Mass.The Sunday School is handsomely equipped; and there is a pastor's room, a ladies\u2019 room, a library, and other apartments.The architect was Mr.David R.Brown.The outlay in connection with the building was about $0,000, which included land.» fees, interest, insurance, organ, taxes, transfer of property.and Incidental expenses.Of this there is an unsubscribed balance of $14,000, which the pastor hopes will soon be paid.Alex.Nelson & Co.What would be more appreciated for a Christmas present than a fur

\u2018 Dr.Duncan McEachran the well known Dominion veterinarian, who bas been vis iting his large western ranch, is now on his way to Montr£al.Dr.McEachran is the president and general manager of this large industry, which is one of the largest rauches in that western land, where large ranches are so plentiful.Dr.MeEachran speaks very entertainingly of the ranching conditions in the West at the present time although he said that owing to a variety of unfavourable circumstances the prices of cattle had ruled low of late.Exported steers netted fram 210 to $12 per head less \u2018than last year, and these circumstances had caused the owners of beef cattle to hold them over until next year.Dr.McEachran did not look for much improvement in prices and gave as a reason that the Argentine surplus cattle accumulated during the recent em- hargo had not been all disposed of yet.New Zealand and Australia were also cutting into the home market and.this Lad the effect of glutting the market to the detriment of Canadian business.Dr.McEachran, in the course of his remarks, intimated that be was of the opinion that the ranching business had not been conducted on the most economical lines.The middleman was in the majority of casee responsible for this state of affairs, as he had not been content with a fair profit.The prices of stock cattle would have to come down.and ranchmen in the future would have to pay more attention to that class of cattle, especially as far as quality and.breeding were ocon- cerned.Speaking of the settlement and development of the West, Dr.McFachran said that the progress made in this res pect during the past few years was little short of marvellous.The rapid fijling up of the country by farmers of experience: the large areas yearly put under cultivation; the springing up of towns and villages evervwhere along the railway lines, the building of banks.stores and ware- BUSINESS FOR \u201cNEW CITY COUNCIL Important Projects Have Been Left Over Until Next Year.SHOULD SELECT RIGHT MEN They Will Have to Deal With Many Matters of Great Interest to City.\u201cThe new City Council which will be elected on Februarv 1, next, will have, during the succeeding two years, some of the most Important projects to consider ever presented for aldermanie discussion.\u201d Such were the words to-dav of one of the oldest members of Council.Explaining his statement, he said that there had not been a period for many years past when so many demands were being made on the City Council, by electric railway companies, for entrances into Montreal.Only at the last meeting of the Council a demand was made bv the Ottawa River Rallway Company to enter the city and erect a station here for an eleetric line that was to run from Grenville.Another project the new Council would have .to consider was the request of the Chateauguay and Northern Railway Company for permission to run into the city and erect a station, while undoubtedly the matter would be brought up again in 1904 of an exten- slon of the Street Raflwav franchise.Other railway projects that would have to be considered were the recent communication from the Grand Trunk Rallway, that it was willing to elevate its tracks from the Bonaventure station to the city limits, and the reauest of the Canadian Pacific Railway to close up a number of streets in the East : End -for the purpose of getting wide ; track space in the vicinity of Viger station.The traffic at this point had grown so large that the company was compelled to get extra accommodation.None of the above important projects had been settled.The present City Councf! had oniv about six weeks\u201d more life, and it was scarcely possible it would even settle one of these problems.The new City Council, the alderman Contractor Discusses the Drawbacks of Government Owned Roads.MR.TAITS PROGRAMME A Great Concentration of Men and Arms Rapidly Going on at Port Arthur.Mr.James M.Carroll, whose busli- ness as a railway contractor has taken him around the world, is now In the city.and here he will spend the next few months, .Starting from Australia, Mr.Carroll went to Cape Town and was in South Africa when the Boer war commenced.Having subsequently visited London and Paris, Mr.Carroll, arriving in St Petersburg, commenced a trip to Port Arthur over the Trans-Siberian Railway.\u201cThat raflway,\u201d sald he, \u201cis operated entirely as a Government road, and is utilized malnly for the transport of soldiers te.Port Arthur.Indeed the concentration of men and ships at that point gives one the impression that the oninton generallv held in America, that the trouble between the Japanese and the Russians, is to be settled amicably.ls entirely erroneous.\u201cThe Russian trans-continental rafl- way system is not nearly as well constructed.as the Canadian Pactfic Railway, and presents nothinæ like the remarkable feats of engineering.There are some good engineers in Russia,but thy are very greatly hampered by the Russian laws.A great deal of the I ar tt nee RAILWAY AFFAIRS | JN AUSTRALIA} \u2018| maintenance of the fortresses at Halifax COMMAND OF - Officers Are Pleased at .Proposed Change In Prese nt Law, IT OPENS WIDER CAREER Will Afford Added Incentive to Ambitious Young Men to \u2019 Enter Service.Although not a few of the militia officers in the city are somewhat shy about expressing their opinion regarding the outcome of Sir erick Borden\u2019s mission to Great Britain, they are unanimous in.the view that a broader career will now open before the Canadian soldier.Whereas, formerly all that a Canadian could expect to become was, at the most, adjutant general, he can now number among his aspirations a career as commander of the Canadian militia with rank as a fgneral bat outlook, it is felt by a number of the commanding officers in this city, will afford an added incentive to all ambitious young Canadians who enter the militia.The arran nt reached with the War Office is as follows: 1.No restriction or limitation in the future selection of a officer to command the Canadian militia.2.Date of appointment will control pre cedence between officer of Imperial army and officer of Canadian militia.3.All references to position of officer commanding at Halifax omitted.This has suecial reference to sub-sections of Sec.of the Militia Act, by which it is provided that in case of the Militia \u2018being called out for active service the General Officer Commanding the Imperial troops at Halifax shall take command.In removing this, it is pointed out that the last remnant 6f Imperial control over the Canadian Army is removed.4.Increased facilities for educational purposes at staff college, etc.It is rumoured in thé London military clubs that the British Government is not indisposed to hand over the responsibility for the and Bequimalt to the Canadian Government.Considerable conjecture is entertained to whether Lord Dundonald will or will not consider it beneath his dignity to remain in Canada under the changed condi- CANADA'S: MILITIA) = Financial.\u2014 Dominion Coaï pfa-7 st 112%.at 74 n Canadian Paclfic\u201425, 50 at 119.\u2019 Twin City\u201425 at 83%.N.S.Steel pfd.+ at Molsons Bank.new\u2014 Molsons Bank\u201420 at 13% 3 at 1%.Montreal Street\u201410 at Detroit United\u201425 at 69%.Bank of Commerce\u201430 at 15115, 20 at 151%.R.and O.\u201415 at 82, 35 at 81%.110: 25, 25 at 109%.1 ay 194 24.Dominion Iron\u2014T5 at 8%.| Colonial House, hilips So.| In Rich Black, 45 in, 84 in.and 72 in.In Fawn and White, 54 in.only.In Black and White, two strands, In Gray and White, two strands, tlat, 73 Also a selection of MARABOUT BOAS.40e-\u2014RMaids\u2019 Lawn Aproas, plain hem, embroidered bib, lawn ruf- Ogilvie Milling Nova Scotia Steel.MONTREAL STOCK EXCHANGE.Reported for the Star by Gurion Strathy & Co., stock brokers, § St, Sacrament street: Doc 14 Ask Canadian Pacifico.MinnSt P&88 M.Pref\u2026 Duluth Common o 116 1 TwinCity Fransit .West India Blectrio Toledo Electric.B&0O Nav Co.\u2026 Commercial Cable.Mont Teiegraph.Bell Telephone.Light,Heat & Power.Dom Steel.Do do Pref.Laurentide Pulp.Nova Scotia Steel do pref.Ogtivie Mill Do do pret.B C.8almon serfesA.Do B.Montreal Cotton.Dominion do .Can.Coi Cotton .\u2026\u2026.\u2026.Laurentide Puip.Dom Iron & Steel.&t.Jobm Ry.\u2026.Montreal St.Ry.Bd.1194 11916 55 52 212 7 ;

shares.While trading in the steck market continued extremely dull to-day, such transactions as there were gave indications that prices had about run the limit of the reaction from t high level of last week.While there 18 not sufficient buying in sight to warrant expectations of a striking improvement on last week's top prices, there is, on the other hand, nothing in the situation which would tend to create a lower level than that which at present prevails.Precedent has taught that it is not easy to interest the public tn the \u2018market around the hollday season, and dulness is looked for until after the turn of the year.It is probable the loca) market wil] be closed from Thursday until Alonday of Christmas week, the New York and Boston exchanges having already takey action in that connection.Similar hof- days during New- Years week wip If adopted, have the effect of pretty sadly couttimg up the business of the 1#t two weeks of the year.At the opening of to-day\u2019 trading it

Improved tone of the New York market.The early information from that quarter described \u201csentiment as mixed.\u201d which probably meant that the gossip paragraphists felt dubl- ous about

to reflect underlying confidence of the American business public in the present financial and commercial conditions and future outlook.Although efforts were made in the closing days last week by professional operators to knock down prices by fresh attacks on steel securities and Pennsylvania rallroad shares, with moderate degree of success, it is belleved there has been no further public liquidation.Last week saw no decided change in traffic conditions in the west.Traffic officials continue sanguine that there is to be no let up in earnings for the balance of the year.A more cheerful view: was taken in London to-day of the Russo-Japanese situation, in consequence of which Japanese securities advanced and the general stock market was strong with Americans showing gains.Initial transactions this morning were_effected at advances 1-4 to 1-2 point.Trading was on a fairly large scale, and well distributed.At the outset Pennsylvania showed some of same sort of pressure to which it was subjected: Saturday, but subsequently it advanced quite rapidly.United States Steel stocks were firm throughout, notwithstanding the circulation of pessimistic forecasts of the company\u2019s quarterly statement.Sugar Refining was also strong and the industrial quarter in general, although not especially active, had a firm tone.Amalgamated : Copper was altively dealt in amd after opening well above Saturday's closing figures, receded to that level.American Smelting was decidedly strong on expectations of the beginning of dividends = the stock this week.Brooklyn pid Transit was the only active feature of the local traction shares and was firm.A fair degree of activity was manifested in the railway list, where the features were Southern Pacific, Erie, St.Paul, Reading, Baltimore and Ohio and Union Pacific.While there was some discussion of the beginning to-day of arguments before the Supreme rt {In the NortherA Securities case, that ; matter did not seem to have any

IMPROVED.\u201cSigns multiply that the situation in this leading manufacturing Industry has improved\u2019 says Dun's Review.\u201cNo extensive business is being placed, nor is there any material hardening of quotations, yet there is a better tone and many expressions of hopefuiness regarding the volume of business that will be available after the customary annual inventories and stock taking are concluded.Several large contracts, notably the local tunnel, supply an Increased demand for atructu- ral material.and while these orders have not vet been placed, the market is stimulated by pending business, The decline in guotatigns appears to have received a positive check, and there is more confidence in evidence than at any recent date.Much instruction as to the situation may be derived from a careful study of the monthly statistics just published by the Iron Age.Production of pig iron has steadily declined since the maximum record was touched on June 1 at 898.129 tons weekly, until on December 1 only 251,181 tons was reported.From over 1,600,000 tons monthly, the output fell to 1,073,840 tons jn November, and probably less than a million will be made this month.Meanwhile instead of furnace stocks declining under this stringent contraction of production, they have risen from 27,010 tons on July 1 to 68,107 on December 1, although 1} is practically certain that holdings by the mills have been drawn down to an extremely low point.owing to the expectation of more attractive terms.\u201d Canadian Trade and Failures.Despatches to Dun's Review from

hardware are quiet at 8t.John, travellers are home and stock taking is in progress.Winter sailing of freight steamers has opened favourably, and shipments of western produce are expected to surpass

at the time it wus understood the whole of Commissioners street would become the property of the city.When the street was improved (which it now is), i* was to be some 20 feet wider.to become the property of the city.For several reasons the Harbour Commissioners have not seen their way clear to hand the entire street over to the city.Bev- eral months ago the city was informed by the Harbour Commissioners that the city might have the street if the Commissioners were given power to allow railway companies to use portions of it.This was objected to by the aldermen; and now the matter seems as far as ever from settlement.The committee on Saturday decided to do its utmost to got possession of the entire street.ELEVATED TRACKS ON WHARVES.It was also the opinion of the committee that it was in the interests of the entire city that elevated tracks should run on the wharves; such a system it was held would result in vessels being loaded more easily than at present.ith _elevated tracks, freight could be lowered into steamers instead~of.being hoisted up into them lt was shown the Harbour Commissioners, with the idea they had of completing the harbour improvements, desired to place ramps on Commissioners street.The idea did not tneet the views of the committee; such ramps it was held would block Commissioners street: to no little extent, and would also result in congesting traffic.A motion was finally passed opposing the placing of any ramps whatever on the street.Before the committee adjourned an announcement was made that Sir Wilfrid Laurier would meet the committee either - in Ottawa or Montreai this week and would hear the city\u2019s claims to the whole of Commissioners street, and also listen to arguments in regard to > elevated lines on the wharves.HAS DECIDED TO ERECT NEW IMMIGRATION SHED.od it is soticipated that Regina will be a distributing point hext summer the De tion abe Se\u201d eee n at that t capable of ee 500 people we v large ux into country in iy of Saskatoon Bo ted .nest summer.New halls will erected at Craik and Davidson.\u201cWin regard to west- tement a Dominion.official pays: a Pr 17,000 people north of the River in the last six peus south of the river is also fast filling ve 120 homesteaders being located in there within the last year.Funeral of Mr.John Power.The funeral of Mr.John.Power took ge yesterday afternoon from ce of his fo son-in-law, Mr.T.MeBiéarts a a acer ty Waterton: Tren I ive o e aterfo re- land, and came to Canada over Billy six ears go.At the time of his death reached the advanced age \u2018of ets Mr.Power was a prominent member of St.Ann's Total Abstinence and Benefit Society since its foundation, the members of which assisted at the funeral in a body.The chief mourners nes Mr.P.J.Power, Ottawa, son;

New York and Boston last week, a description of which appeared in Sat s Star, are all of the opinion that Its adoption on the St.Lawrence route would be one of the greatest of boons to the shipping trade.Not onlggyvould the chances of a vessel running aground in a fog be cut down to the mimimum, but the chances of collision, one of the terrors of the sea to the navigator, would be lessened mateflally.: Mr.Andrew A.Allan in speaking of the invention, said that in his opinion the adoption of any system by which a steamship, while yet some miles off, could make her presence and position known to another vessel was one of the most important points, the value of which could hardly be overestimated.Mr.Allan explained that should two vessels be rigged with the necessary apparatus, and should a third vessel come In between them there would be no interference in the signals between the first two.The sound waves produced by the bell in the forepeaks of the steamships, which is taken by metal boxes and transmitted to the wheel house by means of a telephonic apparatus, travel in all directions equally, so that an interruption such as referred to was out of the question.The tests on the H.M.Whitney, between New York and Boston, showed that the lightships, which bore the bells some forty feet below the water line, could be located with the utmost ease, and it was really marvellous how, after a little practice, one was able to pick out the exact locations of the lightships.The Whitney was swung about from starboard to port and back again, and finally altered her course entirely so as to bring the lightship almost astern, and still those on board could, with the two transmitters to their ears, follow the sound.never making a mistake as to the locations uf the lightship.First it would be to starboard.then to port, the sound gradually receding from the THE .MONTREAL\u2018 : DAILY.\u201cSTAR-MONDAY, DECEMBER INPRESSED WITH.one transmitter and gaining in strength in the other as the Whitney swung about.These tests took place, îit must be remerbered, when the lightships were still miles away.© FITTED UP FOR CANADIAN GUESTS.The Whitney was fitted up specially to receive the Canadian guests, the vessel not belng a passenger boat.In the captain's room was placed a second instrument, a duplicate of the one In the wheel house, and this one was also utilized.Mr.Allan states that he is not aware who the inventor of the system is.A Mr.Merrill.however, has been experl- menting with it for months.It appears that he took the idea of the system.then crude and incomplete, to Mr.H.M.Whitney, of Boston, who im- medlately recognized the possibilities, and who gave Mr.Merrill the necessary financial assistance.In February last a yacht was purchased and Mr.Merrill fitted her up with the apparatus and began a system of exhaustive experiments.The results have been altogether satisfactory.Boston being the home of the two gentlemen most deeply interested in the invention, that harbour and the immediate sea approaches were the first to be equlp- ped.The invention is more or less of a secret.What the two metal boxes placed in the bow of the vessel, one on the port and the other on the starboard side, contain is not known to the public any more than it is some sort of liquid.There is also some new device in regard to the bells utilized.In all likelihood they are made on some new pattern, and perhaps of a combination of materials not before used in «this connection.As explained in Saturday's issue of the Star, the apparatus which carries the sound from these metal boxes to the transmitters, by means of wire, is not unlike an ordinary telephone, there being two transmitters in place of one.California has been quick to grasp _\u2026 + Cr LOF .> nt the desirability of establishing this Pacific Coast, and the San Franciseo will he fit- with them almost immediately.In this instance there will be two sets of signals laid\u2014one for the starboard gud another for the \u2018port course.San Francisco Bay is subject to dense fogs, which not only interfere with the ferry system between the two places, but is a continued menace, and it is only a few years ago that two of these ferry boats came into collision, the result being a fearful disaster, in which many lives were lost.The establishment of two lines of signals will give the ferry boats going in either direction a clear course, entirely independent of the other.SYSTEM NOT EXPENSIVE, The system, Mr.Allan states, is not expensive, aside from the fact that the bells, in order to be most effective, are pluced in a considerable depth of water.say forty feet.This in the St Lawrence would necessitate the construction of vessels where light ships are not now available, He was satisfied that the equipment could be put in place, aside, of course, from \u2018the vessel, for, say, $3,000 to $4, 000 per signal.which is a mere nothing as such matters run.There are some thirteen or fourteen points in the gulf and river where the shipping men consider these signals most necessary.These are Belle Isle, Point Armour.Heath Point, Fame Point.Matane, Father Point.Rimouski, Red Island Lightship, Crane Island, Cape Race, Cape Pine, Cape Ray and Bird Rocks.: These points all have signals of one sort or another at the present time, but there are many occasions when, through fog, stress of weather, or other causes, they have been found inadequate to the requirements, and wrecked or damaged vessels have been the result.Hon.Mr.Prefontaine, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, and Lieut.-Col.Gourdeau, the Deputy Minister, are both very much interested In the system.and there are strong hopes that it may be adopted.It is thought that, once established, these \u201cBoston Bells,\u201d as the Canadians have named them, will do much toward the lowering of insurance rates upon hulls and cargoes in the St.Lawrence trade.and should in a very short time pay for themselves over and over again.\u2018 \u2018 STUDENTS HOLD ~ ANNUAL BANQUET Science Department of Laval University Has its Regular Outing.MANY EXCELLENT SPEECHES Professor Leluan Defends Institution Against Charge That it is Too - T cal The students of the Polytechnic School, the Science department of Laval Univer pity, on Saturday evening held their annual banquet at the Windsor Hotel.Mr.Charles Chapals, president of the Science students, presided, and a moet en- Joyabie time was spent.The menu was excellent, while the speeches were of à high literary order.On the right of the chairman were: Hon.Raymond Prefontaine, Minister of Marine and Fisheries; Prof.Balete, ai- rector of the Polytechnical School; Ald.8.D.Vallieres, Mr.Gustav Papineau, C.E.; Prot.F.C.Laberge, C.E.; Mr.J.A.Marion,

C.E.; Mr.P.E.Parent, C.E.(Three Rivers); and Ernest Belanger, C.E.The usual order of things in the Ladies Ordinary had been changed.Instead of a few long tables, a dozen or more small tables were distributed throughout the room, so that the diners could assemble in groups.A large number of the old boys were present, and old acquaintances were renewed and new ones formed, while the history of the old Polytechnic, which will be left next season for the fine new building on St.Denis street was thoroughly discussed over and over among the groups.The health of \u201cHis Majesty the King\u201d was right loyally honoured.after which the chairman, in eloquent language, welcomed the guests to the annual banquet, the hyphen which connects the old boys with thesstudents of to-day.He recalled the history of the old school, and ex- presped the hope that the graduates of the new would do as much honour to their school as had some of those present with them on this occasion.TOAST TO LAVAL UNIVERSITY.proposed in most bappy terms \u201cLaval University.\u201d Such a toast, he sald, was really a toast to French Canada.Rev.Abbe Bourassa, secretary of Laval University, responded in a witty speech, which was highly applauded.- Mr.Marius Cinq-Mars, secretary of the banquet committee, gave the toast of the \u201cEcole Polytechnique\u201d and its professors.He recalled the carly struggles of the Institution, and the devotion manl.fested by the professors who had shown such devotion to their work.Mr.Ernest Marceau briefly replied, ails onsumption ONLY A FEW STEPS.Don\u2019t allow a cold

theory.There were opportunities for practical work outside school times, and tf the students would reach a high place they must have that practical experience, byt the school itseif had a mission to instruct them in the methods to follow when the work was to be dome.Mr.E.Beaupre gave tho toast of \u201cCivil Engineering,\u201d recalling the great works of that profession, and the pleasure at finding so many engineers present with them.Prof.F.C.LaQerge replied, dwelling upon the necessity for deep study and careful preparation if the young men wished to succeed in the great life work which they were about to undertake.Mr.Henrique Ortiz, in an address whose eloquence fairly startled the whole gathering.proposed the toast of \u201cThe Qid Boys\u201d and the \"Guests.\" 4 à Mr.L G.Papineau replied briefly, H.ter which Hon.Raymond Prefontaine addressed the gathering.Hon.J.Israel Tarte, after thanking the pupils for their hospitality and kindly reception, recalled that he had always done all in his power to favour their Institution.He recalled his choice of Mr.Lafleur to Mr.Coste in the Pub- Ha Works Department, of Mr, St.Leuk- ent to superintend the elevator construction, of getting Mr.L.G.Papineau from the Railway Department to look after the Fast End harbour works, and Mr.Boucher, a nephew of the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, to look after the buoys in the 8t.Lawrence.These were all graduates of the school, and their institution had every right to be proud of them.He congratulated the professors and etudents on having secured more commodious quarters for their work.S8IBTER FACULTIES HONOURED.The \u201cSister Faculties\u201d toast was proposed by Mr.G.Hurtubise, and replied to by Messrs.L.A.David and H.Gagne for the law students, L.E.Parizeau for the medical students, and A.de Belval for the notarial students.The toast of the press given by the chairman met with a reply from Mr.L.deMontigny, while that of the ladies was honoured by Mr.M.Beuilac, C.E.Hon.J.Israel Tarte then appealed to Prof.Balete, the director, to grant the boys a holiday on Monday.The request was greeted with such thunderous applause that the director could not refuse.Then the applause broke forth again, and both Mr.Tarte and the director were assured that they were \u201cJolly Good Fellows.\u201d The gathering broke up at a late hour.Outbreak of Scarlet Fever.Special
