AA.rooms on Mansfield street.A large attendance is expected.because in view of the brilliant prospects of the club, a determined effort is being made lo get together the strongest officers that the club has ever possessed.It is realized that with the majority of last year's team to be depended upon for next fatl, and with several new and valuable men promised to play, the championship ought to just about be landed by the Red and Black next seagon, and these chances must not be weakened, and so it is the duly of every member interested to turn out to-night and see that competent men are selected to fill the various offices.Iv is stated that an ex-president and a very valuable man has consented to have his name appear as a candidate for the presidency.and if the club are fortunate enough lo secure his services, they will have to be congratulated.Some good men are offering for the other positions, and one thing is sure, and that is that there will be some voting runtests fon these positions.Caps will -be presented do the new members winning them last vear.and the secretary's report will be read and prospects for the coming season fully diseussed.The team will practise by electric light alain.and the great advantage got into good condidon.fewer men were injured and the team got a chance 10 play together with the | club in section A, earh vear.Up to! the present there

who had just preceded her, the Queen went to the desk and asked for eight dinner tickets, tendering half a crown (sixty cents).She was told that they would be six pence (twelve cents) more, which Earl De Grey promptly contributed.Sir Thomas Lipton conducted the Royal guest.who was simply dressed in black, to the dining rooms.THE QUEEN RECOGNIZED.The news of the identity of this extraordinarily young looking woman soon spread and the children crowded around her, curiously touching Her Majesty's dress and looking up in her face.Those who could not get near stood on tables to catch a glimpge of their Queen.Soon the building rang with the shrill cheers of the delighted children and girls.The Queen saw two mites crying.\u201cWhat is the matter?\u201d she asked.Thay had lost their dinner tickets.Thelr grief was quickly turned to Joy by the gift of a shilling from the royal purse.So thickly did the children, most of them typically ragged urchine of the East End, crowd around the royal visitor that one of the attendants tried to make a passage way for her \u201cDon't bother,\u201d sald the Queen.\u201cI did not come here to disturb them.\u201d After talking with several factory employes, who were in the midst of their meal, which is daily served to some three thousand persons, the Queen and her party, accompanied by Sir Thomas, went upstairs to the room, where they all redéemed their meal tickets.For her nine cents the Queen had soup, lamb, potatoes, a large helping of plum pudding, a glass of water and a cup of coffee.She seemed to enjoy it.After another walk around the rooms, the Queen drove off amidst hearty cheers, expressing herself delighted to see so many people enjoying thmeelves and confessing that she really quite liked the bill of fare.Mother and Baby - both hejped by the se of SCOTT'S EMULSION it will enrich the mother\u2019s milk and make the baby thrive.If it is a bottle baby, put a part of a teaspoonful in the bettie when Ris fed.For poorly nourished babies and children we believe it has ne equal in the werld WALTER M.KEARNS\u2019 SALES.109 SELBY AVENUE Sale of Household Furniture, Parlour chairs, whatnot,\u2019 fancy tables, pictures, carpets, oilcloth, sideboard, crockery and glassware, bedroom sets, tofletware, clocks, lamps, refrigerator, gas £love, MNcClary cooking stove, kitchen utensils, ete., ete.Sale at the above mentioned residence, On SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 26, at 10 o'clock.WALTER M.KEARNS, Auctioneer.1 2 MARCOTTE BROS.SALES.\u201c NOTICE OF SALE, « Store Fixtures.Etc.by Auction.4 On SATURDAY, 26th Instant, at Ten D'Clock, without reserve, and in retail, at No.31 8t.Lawrence Street: 60 Trunks, etc., 15 Busts, 1 Mirror, 1 Coffee Mill, Wire Stands, Pulleys and Shafting, Stools, 3 Counters, 6 Tables, 10 Showcases, 1 large Desk, 1 Safe, 1 Letter Press, a large lot of Frames, Pictures, Framing Paper and other goods.MARCOTTE FRERES, Auctioneers.71 2 * OCEAN STEAMSHIPS.ALLAN LINE Royal Mail Service.verpool via Moville.From From From Liverpool.Steamer.st.Jehn.Hallfax 10 Mar.Tunisian.26 on 28 Mar.17 Mar Yonian 3% April 4 April 24 Mar Bavarian SAprii 11 April 31 Mar.Pretorian.4 18 Apr.7 April Parisian.23 April 25 Apr 14 April Tunisia 30 April 2 May Tunistan and Bavarian are the largest and finest steamers on the Canadian route, 10.- 670 tons, Twin screws, FIRST CLASS, 355 upwards, according to eteamer, location of, and number of persons in staterooms.BEC- OND-CLASS, Liverpool or Londonderry.Bavarian.Tunisian, or Ionian, $40.Otber steam- era $37,50.Return tickets at reduced rales.THIRD CLASS, Liverpool, London or Gias- gow, $25 or $26.Paris, $32, H.& A.ALLAN, General Agents, Montreal, 201 tf Dominion LIN® steamshtps PORTLAND-HALIFAX LIVERPOOL.From Portland.From Portland.Ottoman .March 10th Southwark.April Oth Kensington.Mare: 26th Canada.April 10th Domiudon.Apnlind Cornishman.April 23rd a hasenger steamers west bound call at Hall- For all particulars as to freight and passage apply to THE DOMINION LINE, .17 St, Sacrament street.Montreal 103 tf CanadianPacific Railway Coys ATLANTIC STEAMSHIP LINES.WINTER SAILINGS, 8T.JOHN, N.B., AND LIVERPOOL DIRECT.From Liverpool.Steamer.From St.John, N.B, Tuesday.Mar.15.LAKE CHAMPLAIN.Apr, 2 Tueeday Mar.2.LAKE ERJE.Apr.18 Tuesday, Apl.B.LAKE MANITOBA.Apr 23 Steamers sall from west St, Jom, NB, at 1.3u pm, after tne arrival of the C.FP.R.Uain from the west.RATES OF PASSAGE.First Cabin, $30 and upwards.Round trip Lickeols at reduc Tales.second Cabin!

wreck.Scarcely a whole pane remained in the windows of the central portion of the facade, The destruction was not occasioned, however, by another movement of the sub-structure of the mountain, but by a snowball fight.in which the stulents of the arts and applied science faculties participated to the number of possibly a couple of hundred.For an hour and a half this miniature warfare was waged with unremitting vigor, and for that length of time no thought of lectures entered the heads of the youthful combatants.So that for a time the teaching staff.of the university was not less demoralized than was the main bullding.Hostilities men of the were commenced by the arts faculty.who projected a few well-aimed missils down upon the portico of the Science Building.under which a number of students of were gathered.The arts were in a belligerent humour.They had just issued from a lecture ; on the Homeric age, and their minds | were filled with thoughts of the invulnerability of Achilles and the prowess of the Grecian hosts.Hence their desire to emulate in n smail measure the achievements of those mythical warriors, At 12 o'clock- the exertions of the preceding hour and a half having induced thoughts of dinner-the students veasei their mimic warfare by mutual consent.and, lining up as ufter a gume of foothall, cheered each other to the echo.men To Withdraw .Big Deposit.\u201cAn nayder

That Master Builders are Preparing for Trouble Ahead.The Montreal Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners have formulated a hew schedule of wages which will raise the maximum rate from \u201c2 1-2 to 29 cents an hour.Copies of the schedule, now being distributed among employers for their signatures, if signed, will become effective on April 1.The officials of the Brotherhood state that they are determined to put up a big fight this year.In a cominunica- tion addressed to the Star to-day, and signed by the officers of the Montreal District Building Trades\u2019 Council, the stateinent is made that at the last conference with the Master Carpenters\u2019 and Joiners\u2019 Association ft was dis- tinctiy understood that if the men would accept 22 1-2 cents per hour for Last season 25 cents per hour would be Erauted for the coming season without any trouble.The men, they say.will try to avoid a strike, but they want it understood that there 13 to be no backdown, and that the tight, if inaugurated.will be to a finish.They claim that the wages paid to the carpenters and joiners in Montreal are ubout per cent.lower than the wages paid to the other building trades, Zo and this 1s one of the reasons why the fight will be u bitter one.That the Master Builders will line Up against the Brotherhood this com- fng spring seems certain.It is said, on gvod authority, that at a meeting of a number of contractors a solemn agreement was entered into by the members to stand as one man to hght not only the proposed demand for advanced wages 1o be made April 1, but to do all in each member's power to smash the Union strength in the building trades, It is said that each man stands i pledged.no matter y hat may be the result, to start the season with the an- that no man shall be asked whether he is a Union man or not, and that non-Union and Union men will be at all times on the same basis.In a word, the Unions are to be ignored, and the \u2018open-shop\u2019\u2019 policy is to be

city this morning from Toronto, where, in company with Mr.Wm, Wainwright, the company\u2019s comptroller, he had an interview with Premier Ross regarding a subventjon for a branch line of the Grand Trunk Pacific to run from some point of Thunder Bay.presumably Port Arthur or Fort William, to a point on the main line in a northerly direction.The branch would give the railway a direct outlet to Lake Superior, and the zreat stretch of navigation which it could then utilize with the same advantages as the Canadian Northern or the Canadian Pacific.Mr.Hays is sanguine that his mission will meet with success, but he would give no indication as to the time when work of construction will commence.POLICY RETRENCHMENT INAUGURATED BY THE G.T.RAILWAY.The Grand Trunk Railway Company has inaugurated a policy of retrenchment all gver the line, being induced to this, course by the falling off in the earnings of the company during the past few months.At the head office of the company in this city very little is said upon this score, but an official close to General Manager Hays informed the Star that a large number of inen been layed off.a process which would.he thought, be continued to some considerable extent.When asked for a reason as to the adoption of the policy of rétrenctiment said that it was the outcome, in no small measure, of he disadvantageous conditions under which the

Harbour offlres showed 27 feet 9 ]-2 inches, Wbich is quite a jump from the record of yesterday.There ia no visible change, however, in the appearance of the St.Lawrer ce.beyond the fact that the ice has that white apuvmar- ance, which the harbour engineer's department claims is due to the honeycombing process which is now going on apace.The officials of the department, however, stule, that under the most \u2018favourablt weather conditions, it may be a week or more before the first movement of the ice takes place outside the guard pier.Once the first movement comes it will only be a question of days before the whole of the ice has gone seaward and the opening of navigation takes place.RIVER ROADS ARE BAD.In spite of the fact that the river roads are in an exceedingly dangerous condition, teams are still crossing the ice.The opinion at the Harbour offices to-day was that a break in the roads might occur at any moment and the careless daring of the teamsters lead to unfortunate fatalities.Teams were crossing to-day.There are a few open spota In the river.The most noticeable is the one along the St.Mary's current, although there Is a patch of clear water in the vicinity of the Victoria bridge.It is pointed out in regard to the question of a flood this year that since the installation of the Craig street pumps some years ago, when they were supposed to be of double capacity, the drainage of Westmount, Ste.Cune- gonde, and other adjoining municipail- ties hus to be :aken care of.While every precaution has been taken, by the building of the revetment wall, and the dyke to prevent any possibility of serious floods from the front of the river, yel the same pumping system 1s in vogue, notwithstanding the Increased work tn which they are put.A Harbour othcial said to the Star to-day that the city had paid in damage suits more money than it would take to double the pumping capacity.The question of floods this year rested solely on the pumps.In any event the river is now on the rise and the capacity of the pumps and their ability to deal with the situation will be tested very shortly.(QOA00000090O00C00OQGOOOOJOOCC) © © ® The following cable was re- © ©

hard-hearted, miserly man, but evidence of his large-heartedness was given in the box, and\u2019 was shown in the way he had treated his wife, au- cording to her own evidence.A good husband, he confided to his wife all the money he earned and was always respectful and kind to old man Filion, who was really the proprietor of the farm, DREW Antoine having A CONTRAST.Seguin, on the other hand, inherited the same amount of land as his sister, neglected it and spent his time in municipal affairs and playing cards or In fighting elections.Seguin on ane occasion reproached a visitor for not paying a sum of money.Belanger reproached him next day for meddling.and, in reply.was charged with disgraceful conduct, and wounded him in his deepest feelings, his love for his wife.The wife believed her brother.terrific quarrel followed.Outraged in his surest feelings, Bel- anger left the house.He did not go out to create a scandal, but went to Lis mother, and confided his troubles to her.She advised him to go back and prevent scandal.He brought the priest and notary.and the result was A more charges aud even u charge of attempted child murder agalnst the accused.APPEALED FOR ACQUITTAL.The provocation to Belanger was constant, duy by day, hour by hour.The hatred of his wife, the indifference and mistrust of his children, whom he adored, were on the mind of the illiterate farmer until at last he no longer possessed himself.He bought the gun but resisted the temptation, but the provocation Btill went on, the poison sank deeper and at a given moment the prisoner gave way.destroyed his happiness, and Mr.Wilson asked for a verdict of acquital from fathers and husbands for a husband and father who had, after all, avenged only his honour and the peace of mind of himself and his family.The address of Mr.C.A.Wilson for the defence produced a powerful influence on the jury and the public.For two hours and twenty minutes the young lawyer pleaded.All the jurymen wept while sobs were audible over the court room and even the prisoner, who has never displayed any emotion, was moved to tears.Mr.J.A.ackay.K.C.will pre- gent the Crown case after adjournment, and the judge's charge will follow.A verdict is expected in the course of the afternoon.TANTAMOUNT TO FRAUD, SAYS MR.J.W.ST.JOHN.Toronto, March 25.\u2014The \u2018Mall and Empire says: \u201cIt was tantamount to a fraud on the Canadian people of the Consolidated Lake Buperior Company to obtain from them credits to the extent of $1.- 500.000 when they knew that they were practically insolvent, and that they were not in a position to repay the money.\" Mr.J.W.St.John thus vigourously expressed, his opinion at the Public Accounts Committee of the Legislature yesterday, after he had secured from O.H.Chitty, formerly treasurer of the Consolidated Lake Superior Company, an admission that officers of the concern had contracted debts when they knew that it was only a matter of a few days before the company would be compelled to go to the wall unless new capital came to the rescue.Mr.Chitty\u2019's evidence disclosed this strange state of affairs in connection with the management of the defunet company.It came out that although the company was practically insolvent, they not only secured credit wherever they could.but also granted increases in salaries to some of their employes.Furthermore, payments were made to persons who were not regularly on the pay roll, and the Order-in-Council passed that the money voted by the Government was to \u2018\u2018pav wager and relieve distress\u201d was decidedly not strictly adhered to.CORNWALL LACROSSE EX-CAPTAIN KILLED EARLY THIS MORNING.8pr cial to The Montreal Star.Cornwall, March 25.\u2014Tha citizens of Cornwall were shocked this morning by the announcement

by Mr.J.N.Greenshields, and the latter by Hon.Mr.Taillon.= It was explained by Mr.M.Nicoll that it was urgent the CPI should Of the company could be enlarged.He pointed out that the company was will-

allow.THIRD OF A MILE CLOSED.The area that the C.P.R.desired to close up from Notre [rime street, east of the station in question, would be about a third of a mile.Several streets | would have tn be

the company had entered into a solemn pact with the city, years ago, to run a certain number of trains into the Place Viger Station.This contract had been broken and these very trains were running to and from Windsor Station.He contended that the company should be made to stand to its agreement.The agreement had been made with the company after it had got a large grant from the corporation to build the Place Viger Station.\u201cThis shows,» continued All.Lapointe, \u201chow tHe company krepu faith with the city.\u201d \u201cWhatever the company has done.\u201d : said Mr.MeNicholl, quietily, \u2018has Been fn the interests of the city generally.You are asking us to run certain pas- renger trains to the East End Station when it would be simply Killing our business to do so.\u201d He pointed out that If a few trains had been stopped at the East End Station, many other compensations had been given to taxpayers in the eut.He thought the committee should treat the Canadian Pacific Railway with more consideration than what was being evinced.He held there should be no continued efforts to block the extension of the company in the vicinity of the Place Viger Station.\u201d Hon.Mr.Taillon said that while the Canadian Pacifte Ratiway should continue to develop, it was not fair that the interests of any proprietor should suffer on account of such progress.He contended that if the Canadian Pacific Railway was determined to close up a nuinber of streets in the east end.those affected should recelve just compensation.Mr.Greenshieldg said tiie Montreal TITewing Company did not want to sell îts property to the Canadian Pacific Railway.Mr.MeNicoll\u2014\"And the Canadian Pacific Railway does not want to buv the property.\u201d No definite decision could he arrived at for

CONTINUES LIGHT.\u2014_\u2014 Prices Therefore Hold Firm \u2014Stocks of Cheese for Sale Here are Light.GOB.\u2014A couple of fairly large hweid- ers of eggs stated this morning that their views were about the same as yesterday.They would refuse anything under 22¢.Should a buyer offer them 21%¢ for their full stock, they would not accept.They had been selling the trade at 22e, and they had made sales of single cases as high as 23c¢, though they had also accepted less.The stock of eggs in the city is so small that there is more difficulty in buying than in sclling.Under these circumstances the market is firm for the moment.Nn cne wants to buy large lots, as recelpts may increase and prices totter at any time, but, on the other hand, no one here has so much that he would not be able to sell out in time to protect himself.Meantime it 18 a 22c market.Some are refusing to buy at over 21c, but they are not likely to have many trying to sell therh at those figures.One merchant who w reported to be offering to sell at 21c, was called up by a firm which would have been glad to make purchases at that figure, but no stock could be secured from him at less than 22e.CHEESE.\u2014Demand is dull.but mer- charts are hopeful of more activity after next week.There secms every reason to believe that there are not more than 14.000 to 15,000 boxes for sale on this market.There are more unsold cheese here.but the remainder will be placed direct on the Erglish market.Altogether there are probably 45.000 or 50,000 left here now, and it is likely that this number will be further reduced before the end of the present month.Meantime prices range from 10 to 1046 for whites, and 1014 to 10%c for coloured.Receipts reported on the Board of Trade this morning amounted to 3 boxes only.BUTTER.Purchases of fine fresh milk creamery have been ade at 19% to 20c f.o.b., Township points.Whether more is being paid or not is hard to say.but it is likely that in some cases a fraction more would be granted.Sales of fair sized lots have been made here this week, at 21 to 21%ec.Single packages are worth about 22c.Fall makes are offering at 19% to 20 or 20440, according to quality and quantity.The market ls steady, with a slightly easy feeling \u2018n held goods, owing to the increasing make of fresh goods.Receipts reported on the Trade this morning amounted packages.POTATOES.\u20148tocks are light, but sufficient for the time being.The market Is steady and good stock may be had on track in car lots at 65c to 70c per bag of 90 pounds.Prices of broken lots in store are 75c to 80c per bag.BEANS.\u2014The market is quoted steady.Prices continue tinchange at $1.40 to $1 45 per bushel for prime pea beans on track, and $1.50 to $1.55 for jobbing lots.MAPLE PRODUCTS.\u2014 Pure maple syrup In Imperial gallon tins is offered at 60 to 70c each.Some alleged new is offering at 7c per Ib.but dealers have doubts of its genuinefiess.HONEY.\u2014Dark strained is in fair demand at about 6% to 7c per Ib.for 70-1b.tins.Light strained is dull, and 7% to 8c per Ib.is belng demanded for 70-1b.tins.DAIRYMEN\u2019S EXCHANGE FORMED AT HUNTINGDON.Special to the

by all to be very dull, and while holders are quite prepared to accept 39%c for 2s, and 38%c for 3s, Yew buyers will take them at that figure.But as they are almost equally unwilling to take them at any other price, holders are demanding the full quotations.FLOUR\u2014Millers report a firm market, the demand being active.Manitoba patents, $5.40; strong bakers, $5.10; winter wheat patents, $6 to

States and Canada chronicle the customary irregularity incident to the breaking up of winter.General sentiment among traders js less optimistic east than west, though nowhere, unless it be southwest, is the demand of distribution equal to that of a year ago.In the cotton region there is also confidence, and factors are holding the staple in expectation of a revival of price.The most significant feature, one which has been almost ignored in the east, ia the gain in demand for iron, steel and ccke within thirty days, the increased production of the metals named, the putting into operation of plants which have been idle, and symptoms of higher prices for some varieties.These are developments which must precede a general trade recovery.Improving rallway earnings, the breaking of car congestion, and higher prices for copper.furnish additional reasons for encouragement.Pittsburg's largest mills have sold as much within three weeks as within three montha preceding, and the prospective demand for structural mater- jal there is enormous.Trade features at primary distributing centres include a heavy request for building materials at Chicago, for engineering material at Pittsburg, an increase In most leading lines over last spring at St.Louis, revival of local trade In regions tributary to Minneapolis, St, Paul and Duluth, the best staple business in years at New Orleans, satisfaction of joNbers at Baltimore over orders received, and ability to fill the same, a change from extra dullness to moderate activity at Philadelphia, a dull retall trade in New Eng- tend, with Boston's January and February business about equal to that of 1903, but less than in 1902.New England cottgn mills are running about three days a week, and probably will] do less by June.After running out of old cotton.many expect to shut down altogether.At Philadelphia, textile mills are running on half or one-third capacity, but are hopeful of early improvement.Spot business in wholesale lines at Chicago has been checked by the weather, the volume in staple cottons being Wess than normal.The like is true at New York.Advices from Oklahoma, Kansas, and Ohlo are pot uniformly favourable as to winter wheat.Offerings of Kentucky tobacco are large, but prices tend upward.Bankers Interviewed at several of the larger cities regard favourably the business prospects In the near future.Trade conditions in the Dominion of Canada have improved with the weather.Country buyers have flocked to the larger cities, attracted there by millinery openings, and wholesale tiaders report orders satisfactory in fancy goods, whitewear and shoe lines.It fs not thought, however, that the volume of business will be quite as large as that of last year.Wheat acreage will probably be larger.Prices of lumber are firmer on prospects of a drones cut and inability to deliver promptly at larger markets.The Atlas Loan Fallure.Special to the Montreal Star.St.Thomas, Ont.March

per cent.on each $100,000 of its re- | venue, that is 1 per cent.on $100,000, 2 per cent, on $200,000, etc.\u201cThe citizens of Montreal cannot help secing the value of the propositice WORKMEN OBTAINS JUDGMENT OF $1,200 FROM THE C.P.R.In the suit brought by O.Begin against the Canadian Pacific Rallway Steamboat Company for injuries sustained on August 4th, of last year, while working on the defendant's steamship Mount Temple, the proof was in favour of the plsintif£x contention and JuJyment was.therefoce.| rendered yesterday by Mr.Justica i Archibald, for $1.200 and conts.The plaintiff while working on the defendant's steamship on the above named.date was struck by a grain bin which, he claimed, was allowed to de- rend ton quickly on account of defective machinery.His claim wan for 35,000 damages allegel to have been suffered by him.GOERS TO FYDNEY.\u2014Mr.F.IL.Wankiyn.vice-president of the Dom- tnlon Coal Company.has gone to Ryd- ney, C.B.From the Chief Magistrate.After | SWISS FOOD had be my asarded a Goll!

portion of the time of the House yesterday.He had two measures, one for an amendment to the railway act, and another to amend the crim- fr:al code.Both of these he fully ex- ylained, but he could not persuade the Minister of Justice to see things in the same light as himself, and had to be coutented with allowing the debate to 1» adjourned to another occasion without ahy progress being made.À number of questions were asked of the ministers, notably one in reference to the deposit made by the Grand Trunk Pacific.Hon.Mr.Fielding answered this, but gave no information which has not already been conveyed to the public through other cnannels, though perhaps, not {n so suceinet a form.BILLS INTRODUCED.Eleven private bills were introduced as follows: Respecting the Nova Sco- tia Permanent

Company, Mr.Louglas.A question by Mr.Clarke with refer- core to the present state of the agree- rent with the Quebec Bridge Company ven from Mr.Fielding the statement that the first mortgage bonds of the company were guarunteed last season to the amount of 36.678.200.the Government guarantee extending to both principal and interest, The company hag fulfilled its agreement thus far, but none of the bonds have As yet been issued, though a temporary advances has been made to the company by the Bunk of Montreal In anticipatipn of such issue.Mr.Puttee asked a question with reference to the contract for the improvement of St.Andrew's Rapids and was told by the Minister of Public Works that the amount paid to the contractor thus far his been $75.540.The whole question of what is to be doue in reference (lo these improvements is now under consideration by the Government.Another question by Mr.Puttee drew forth the information that the \u2018Jovernment of Canada has received no intimation of any demand being made by the Chinese Government for 4 free entry of Chinese at Varcouver.The conduct of the Government in gelling, for the sum of $800, the valuable, colection of models deposited by inventors in the Patent Office Department, was defended by Mr.Fisher.He said that they were sold, according to law to the highest bidder, and that the net amount regeived by the Government was $499.65.the rest of the $800 being absorbed by the cost of advertising.There were twenty-five or thirty thousand of these models packed in cases and stored in a warehouse, The Government simply took the ground that the models were the property of the Crown sold them for what they would bring in order to get them out of the way.THE G.T.P.DEPOSIT.Mr.Fielding informed Mr.Rarker that the deposit in connection with the proposed Grand Trunk Pacific Railway was made under the original agreement as subsequently modified.The deposit is in the form of a deposit receipt of the Bank of Montreal, dated March 9th, 1904.The Government recefves no interest on the deposit, neither does the Government pay any interest and six calendar months\u2019 notice must be given before the deposit can be withdrawn.There was a previous deposit on December 17th, 1903, in London.This consisted of one million pounds, four per cent.guaranteed stock of the Grand Trunk Railway Company, but it was subject to the condition that the deposit was to be null end void unless consented to hy a subsequent general meeting of the company.It was not approved and accepted by the Government.It has nat yet been released, but it will be rex that a cash deposit has been substituted.THE MONTREAL STRIKE.Sir Fredrick Borden stated that the demand made upon the city of Montreal in connection with the calling out of the militia for the 'Longshoremen's strike, has not yet been satisfied.The amount demanded by the military authorities is $18,850.42.None of it has yet been paid by the municipality.Suit was brought and judgment recovered, but an appeal has been entered and it is expected that this will be heard shortly.Sir Richard Cartwright told Mr.Leonard that there is no regular inspector of hay exported to the United States, but that Mr.Bickerdike, at Montreal, and Mr.Anderson, at Toronto, are empowered to attend to such inspecting.Mr.Leonard was also told, by Mr.Prefontaine, that there are two dams on the river Jesus.One of thèse is supplied with a fish way, and the other is not.It is optional with the Government to enforce the law in this respect.The reasons why it has not been done In this case are that experiments are being made with some new models of fish ways, that there is litigation in connection wit hthe dam in question, and that the fisheries are of small importance.These dams were last inspected, June 24th.1902.Mr.Wilson called attention to the case of fifty Russian Jews who were returned by the United States authorities at Feago.North Dakota, to Winni- pes.Mr.son thought that if these people were not good enough to be citi- sens of the United States they were lit not good enough to remain in Canada.He wanted to know what the Government were going to do about it.Str Wilfrid Laurier had no Information on the subject, but promised to look it up.MR.LANCASTER'S BILL Mr.Lancaster tried hard to induce the Government to adopt his bill to amend the Railway Act.The ament- ment which he asked for is, in his opinion, necessitated by a decision given recently by the, Supreme Court with reference to the obligation on railway companies to guard crossings is villages, cities and towns.The ue- cision of the court is virtually that such matters are entirely within the control of the Railway Commission, and that the obligation to maintain fences at such crossings means only + fence that turns into the right of way.and does not compel the maintenance of gates or other devices.Mr.Lancaster thinks that this interpretation leaves the public without sufficient safeguards.He proposed that trains at such crossings should run at a speed not to exceed ten miles an hour, or else should maintain a watchman, and that in such cases the functions of the Railway Commission should be limited to declaring whether any additional safeguards were required.The Government could not see the matter in this light, but agreed that another opportunity should be given for discussing the details of the proposed change, and that it should then be sent to the Ruilway Committee, where the interests affected will have a chance to be heard.\u2018 The other bill brought forward by Mr.Lancaster provided that where minors were brought before magistrates, such minors, if unrepresented by counsel, should not be obliged to elect how they should be tried until they had an opportunity to consult with their parents or guardians.In this connection Mr.Lancaster referred to a practice which he declared exists extensively in the province of Ontario, by which magistrates compel persons to elect how they will be tried before any evidence whatever has been offered.Mr.Fitzpatrick seemed incredulous when this stutement was made, and declared that it was entirely contrary to law, the duty of the magistrate being to first hear evidence and decide whether there was reasonable ground for holding the defendant at all, and then ask him how he wished to be tried.Mr.Lancaster reflerated his statement that the practice prevailed, and cited one or two instances.Mr.Fitzpatrick could only express his regret that the magistrates in Ontario did not understand their business better.As to the substance of the bill, he pointed out that many criminals are experts before they are twenty-one years of age.He thought that the age to which the clause should apply might be made sixteen, but that was as for as he was prepared to go.Mr.Lancaster offered to compromise at eighteen.but the Minister was unwilling to agree and the matter was allowed to go over for the present.THE HOUSE IN SUPPLY.The House then went into committee of supply.On the item of legal expense Mr.R.L.Borden expressed the opinion that it would be an improvement If the Minister of Justice and the Attorney- General were prohibited from practising thelr profession, and were required to devote their whole time to the duties of their office, being paid, of course, a suitable compensation therefor.Mr.Fitzpatrick replied that as a matter of fact since he became Minister of Justice he had not engaged In private practice.As he was one of those who were responsible for the ap- \\ bointment of the judges, he thought that it was not right for him to practice before them.Mr.Lemieux also stated that he had given up his private practice since becoming Solicitor- General.The item of $33,100 for salaries in the Department of Public Works gave an opportunity to the Conservatives to sympathize with Mr.Sutherland for the manner in which his department has been stripped of a large part of its powers in order to strengthen the political position of Mr.Prefoutaine.If Mr.Sutherland appreciated these con- dclences he did not say so.He confined himself carefully to explaining as little as possible with regard to the matter, stating that what had been given to the Department of Marine and Fisheries was the hydrographic survey and the care of the St.Lawrence channel between Montreal and Quebec.It required considerable questioning to drag out of him the fact that under the term \u201chyd aphic survey,\u201d is comprised.amofig other things, any dredging or other improvements to the channel that may be required below Quebec.It is noticeable that although the work of the Department of Public Works has been considerably lessened, the salary list has gone up by $1,350, as compared with last year.Mr.Sutherland also hinted that the changes already made were not the only ones that might be expected in the future, but there might be a further rearrangement of some kind, The item was finally allowed to pass without any specific information on this point being elicited.The items of $35,000 for the Ottawa Astronomical Observatory, $50,000 for the Royal Mint, and $170,000 for the Victoria Memorial Museum were carried, as were also some comparatively minor items for public works in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick.This completed the day's work.\u2014 PARLIAMENTARY NOTES.Mr.Monk will move for a return showing the Orders-in-Council regarding the amalgamation of the South Shore United Counties and Fast Richelieu Valley railways under the name of the Quebec Southern Rallway.Mrs.Jennie Divison Moore, of Ottawa, petitions for divorce from her husband, Henry Tiffany Moore, on the usual statutory grounds.Another large section of the 1,847 petitions for the passing of legislation to enable everybody to enjoy the Sabbath rest was presented yesterday.The batches in which these petitions come in are so large that several ses- sional clerks have to be pressed into service in order to have them all duly examined and docketed In time for the meeting of the House next day.Petitions, when presented, are sent to the proper officer in the Journals of the House office.There they undergo a very close scrutiny, and are examined to see that they actually are petitions, that they in no wise traverse the regulations of the House and that they are propérly drafted and signed.Then they are duly endorsed and docketed ready for reading at the table of the House.Trainmen Scalded to Death.Niles, Mich., March 25.\u2014Engincer Edward French and Brakeman Frank

Absent Owing to lll- ness.MANY PETITIONS PRESENTED Mr.Tellier Strongly Criticizes the Government\u2019s Financial and Timber Policies.encore Special to the Montreal Star.Press Gallery of the Legislature, Quebec, March 25\u2014There were a number of petitions for private bills presented yesterday in the Legislature.Among the most important of which were one from the Toronto General Trust Corporation, asking power to operate in this province, and another from the Shawinigan Water and Power Company, asking permission to borrow to the extent of five millions of dollars.Messrs.L.Payette and others petition for incorporation as the Terrebonne Electric Railway, and the mayor and city clerk of St.llenri sign the petition for the bill to amend the act fn- corporating that town.The public accounts of the province have been puzzling a good many people here, both in the press gallery and in the Legislature.It may be that they are printed according to the most improved method of governmental bookkeeping, but 1t ts à fact, nevertheless that they are presented in such a shape that it is next to impossible for the ordinary reader to understand from them what the actual surplus or deficit of the provincial operations for the year may he.Having sought the assistance of some of the officials of the Treasury Department to help them out of the dilemma, one may arrive at the statement that the ordinary receipts of the province for the year ended on the 30th of June, 1903, amounted to $4.699,772.%7 ,and the ordinary expenditure to $4,596,060.65, leaving « sur- A statement of the special warrants issued since the close of the last session of the Legisluture was brought down vesterday, and showed a total of $115,424.06, of which, however, 820,- 479.46 remained unexpended.The principal items going to make up the total are $50,000 for colonization roads, $10.- 000 for provincial exhibits at the St.Louis Exposition, $5.000 for printing and distributing the statutes, $5,000 for the improvement of rural roads, $5,000 for the study of Canadian flax and the manufacture of linen, $2.000 for public instruction, $12,000 for night schools, $1,424.06 for the removal of records, archieves, etc, from registray office in the town of Beauharnois to Vallevfield, $15,000 to the dairy school «of St Hyacinthe, $5,000 to Bishops\u2019 College, Lennoxville.ANOTHER MINISTER ILL.The Premier is not the only sick member of the Government, The Hon.Amedee Itobitaille.provincial secretary, who moved the adjournment of the debate on the address the night before last intending to resume it yesterday, was unable to reach the House, having been stricken down with a bad attack of the grippe.Mr.Parent is reported to be somewhat better, though suffering from a complete extinction of voice and a very sore throat.The debate on the address.in the absence of Mr.Robitaille, was, therefore taken up yesterday afternoon by the Hon.Mr.Gouin.His speech and that of Mr.Tellier, who followed him, consumed the entire sitting of the House.up to six o'clock, when the recess was taken, and the thread of the debate continued in the evening sitting, by Mr.Prevost, and Mr.Chicoyne.Mr.Gouin remarked that during the seven yeurs he had sat in this House he had observed that no speech from the Throne gave satisfaction to the leader of the Opposition.He declared that he had no objection to meet the Oppositon leaders in their threatened onslaught on the administration and its policy, and after paying a compliment to the sense of justice and fair play of the Opposition leader, he defended the Government from the attacks made upon it in connection with its timber land policy.He admitted that 9,000 square miles of limits were sold at auction last June and that 3,000 miles had been disposed of since.The balance advertised had not been sold, not because there were no purchasers, but because the Government did not need to sell more and would not sell more than was required by the actual needs of the trade.He clalmed credit for the policy of the present Government in obtaining money for administering public affairs from the natural resources of the province instead of from texca.He believed that if the policy of the present Government had been followed by the Conservative administrations which preceded it, the .debt of the province would now be less than it is by some millions of dollars.He claimed for the Ministry, too, that it had largely contributed to the era of prosperity now existing in the province, Repatriation was more successful than ever, before, and more foreigners than ever came to make investments and to establish industries.He also argued at length in support of the appointment of the commission to study matters affecting colonization and timber lands.MR.TELLIER'S SPEECH.Mr.Tellier, without any great effort at oratorical display, offered some of the strongest criticlsms of the Ministerial policy yet heard either fin or out of the House.He told the Ministers who had already spoken that they had employed more eloquence than logic, and displayed more zeal than \u2018arguments.Twitting them with their oft-repeated boast that they had reestablished an equilibrium in the pro- vinclal \u2018finances, he asked them what they had done either to increase the revenue or to decrease the expenditure.They had simply disposed of the provincial assets in the shape of timber lands, at the rate of 235,000 a year.This, then, was their equilibrium.They boasted that they governed without imposing taxes, but they had promised to abolish existing ones, and had failed to do go.Not only Bo, but they realized more from these taxes than their predecessors had.If the Conservatives were taxers, the present Government was then still more so.Turning to the question-of public instruction, he asked where was the performance of all the promises which they had made?Where was thelr work?They claimed that they spent more on this object.Yes, to the extent of $52,000, and that In execution of a law enacted by the Conservatives.But elementa.y schools received ho more than formerly.Referring to the sale of limits, by which the Government unduly sacrificed the assets of the province to the extent of over $200,000 a year, in order to show an equilibrium in the finances, he said that the Ministerial reply was that without tHe proceeds of these timber limits there would be no means to administer the affairs of the province.Then it was clear that there was no equilibrlum! The Ministers claimed again that they sold \u2018the limits far more money than their prédecessors had done.Yes, but they !deprived the settlers of wood.\u2018Théy jefus«] to sell them lots contalning timber of any, Enemies of The Republic Not political bosses, not the \u201cgrafters\u2019\u2019\u2014they are the tools\u2014 but the business men who bribe legislators into betraying the trust of the people.Political corruption of this sort is treason \u2014 government by the few, not the many\u2014a Who are the real | revolution by bribes, not by bullets.CCLURE\u2019 AGAZINE for April contains a brilliant and startling article by Lincoln Steffens which follows the intricate trail of the big corporations and business men through the politics of Missouri.Lincoln Steffens\u2019s great articles, \u2018\u2018 The Shame of the Cities,\u201d\u2019 printed in MCCLURES last year, have been published in book form.Price $1.20 Net.10c A COPY\u2014$1.00 FOR A YEAR'S SUBSCRIPTION.GET McCLURR'S FROM ANY NKWSDEALER OR McCLURE AGENT OR FROM THE PUBLISHERS, 8.8.McCLURE COMPANY, 25th STREBT -
