CENT.RUSSIANS CLAN TO HAVE THE ADVANTACE OF POSITION They That the Japanese Plan of Attack Will Go to Pieces When the Time Comes for the Czar's Forces to Strike\u2014 Warships Still in Vicinity of Gensan\u2014All Quiet at Port Arthur.Epeclal Cable from a Montreal Star Correspondent.N:w Chwang, April 27,\u2014If official Russian advices from Mukden can be relied on, Gen.Kuropatkin's deploy- the very lines the Japanese purpose to ogcupy.should the Japanese cuc- ceed In driving the Russians north, the Muscovite line of defense will extend from New Chwang to Liao Yang and] from Liao Yang to the Yalu river.The Russians say the strategic situation is thoroughly satisfactory and the Czar\u2019s generals profess confidence that the Japanese can make no headway by froutal attacks, while the Russians can cope with the widest flanking operations the Mikado\u2019s men are likely to undertake, \u2018When these operations begin, say the Muscovites, Kuropatkin's counter- strokes will bring down the Japanese scheme of defence like a house of cards, The continued delay on the part of the enemy is a great surprise to the Russians.They do not appear to think that the Port Arthur fleet stands in the way and they realize that the flat country about New Chwang exposes the place to effective bombardmene by ships lying beyond the reach of field artillery.The Situation in Poland.Special Cable From a Montreal.Star Correspondent.Warsaw, April 27.\u2014Arrests of anti- Tussian Polish agitators in all ports of European Russia, indicate the extent of the revolutionary movement.The fate of the prisoners is uncertain, but the leaders of the social democracy informs a Dally Star correspondent that stories of wholesale hangings are false.Summary deportations are expected.The working classes and the peasantry are in active alliance.The Social Democracy is the strongest force in politics in Russian Poland, and the Government finds it dificult to subdue the combination of intellectual and in- and during à battle the former is safer than any other vessels.\u201d Admiral Verkhovsky has showed the Empress a miraculous image of the Virgin, which the Russians fervently hope is going to turn the tide of battle at Port Arthur.The Admiral told the Empress the story of the image, which accurately depicts the Virgin as she appeared in a vision to a sallor, a veteran of the siege of Se- bastopol.Two months before the outbreak of the present war the Virgin came to the sallor in a dream and said: \"Many woes are going to befall Port -Arthur until my image is sent there.Then Port Arthur will be victorious.\u201d The saillor went on a pilgrimage to the great monastery of Kleff and told his dream to the 10,000 pilgrims there.Each of them gave five kopecks (2 1-2 cents) to have the dream depicted, but the artists who made the image refused to receive payment.The ikon waa eventually sent to Admiral Verkhov- sky as senior admiral.It represents the Virgin bearing an image of Christ, with archangels on either side and God the Father above, saying: \u201cThere can be but one flock and one shepherd,\u201d King Edward and Peace.St.Petersburg, April 27.\u2014While King Edward's move to restore peace between Russia and Japan has failed, it is nevertheless regarded as highly significant in diplomatic circles.It fe the first tangible evidence of a change in the relations between Russia and Great Britain.The King, however, has never approached the Emperor, no matter how indirectly, on the subject of peace.If future attempts at mediation be made, it {8 necessary, say the diplomats, that good relations between Russia and Great Britain be as- sidupusly cultivated, and they believe that no one appreclates this better than King Edward.The attitude of the Emperor is thoroughly approved, a person in authority.voicing the opinion of his colleagues.saying that mediation can not be accepted and that Russia alone will determine when it is time .to stop fighting.That time, he said, will not arrive until every Japanese soldier has been ejected from the continent.: British Mines at Unsan.Seoul, Corea, April 26.\u20141 p.m.\u2014The German steamer Amigo, has arrtved at Chemulpo, with bullion from the American mines at Unaan.It is reported that the Imperial Japanese mint at Osaka, has guaranteed to supply monthly the specie necessary to insure dustrial elements in the disaffected province.Russian Faith in & Dream.St.Petersburg, April 27.\u2014 M.Boub- noff, who has been awarded $12,500 for improvements in submarine boats, in an

the Russian army were published in to-day's issue of the Novi re A 7 Kral.Correspondents of foreign newspapers must bave letters of recommendation from their Governments Lo the Russian Foreign Office, and every correspondent must promise in writing not to divulge secret despatches or criticize the orders of those in command, and must similarly agree to give a true account of events and avoid irresponsible reports.\u2018General Ma Mot Dangerous.Paris, April 27\u2014Mr.Ou, first secretary of the Chinese legation here, in an interview on the danger of China being drawn into the Russo-Japanese war, said that General Ma was not a very important personage and had never been commander-in-chief.He is in command of the regular troops in the province of Pe Chi Li, under the Viceroy of Tien Tsin, who would incur the death penaity if he acted without the direct orders of the Pekin Government, which, the secretary sald, was determined to maintain neutrality.Moreover, General Ma had not more than 15,000 troops which there was no reason to suppose were 1ll-disposed towards Russia.\u2014 a JAPANESE JUDGE SHOT.Landon, April 27.\u2014The Tokio correspondent of the Times says that one

reports became more persistent at noon and caused an all round rise in prices on the Bouse.But, so far, there has been no confirmation of them officially.Russian Submarine Boats.Port Arthur, April 27.\u2014The suecess- ful trials of the submarine boats here are regarded by the Novi Kral as opening fresh prospects for active operations on the part of the Russian fleet.Russians Still Near

to be read in all the churches of his diocese, erecting a new parish, with St.James Cathedral as the parochial church.The late Archbishop Fabre bullt St.James\u2019 Cathedral as a monumental Mgr.Bourget.His idea was to have a spacious and imposing church in which the grand episcopal functions might be held at cert:in times in the year.He desired the ceremonies to be carried out with imposing splendour amidst a grand levee of Catholics from all parts of the dlocese.He wished the edifice to be a diocesan church, supported out of the diocesan funds.The present Archbishop has not favoured the Cathedral as a non-parochial §dea.The Cathedral, as an Independent diocesan institution, has met with serious opposition from many quarters: as those regularly attending its services are among the wealthiest Catho- Mes of the city.and are well able to support the Cathedral as a parochial instution.The new decree of the Archbishop will be In accordance with this view.Archbishop Bruches! wili also issue a Qecree erecting a new parish from ports of the parishes of the Sacred eart, St.James\u2019, st.Peter's and Notre Dafhe.A third decree of the Archbishop will enlarge.the boundaries of St.Helene's parish.- A Furniture Dealers Organize.Yesterday morning and evening meetings of the retail furniture dealers were held at the Windsor Hotel, for the purpose of organizing a

Society Major-General Sir Charles Parsons wag one of the guests of honour.When he arose to respond to the toast of the army and navy he was enthusiastically applauded.He stid that the British army, during the past few years, had made great progress, and the lessons learned during the Boer war had worked improvement, and Britain's army to-day was more efficient than ever before.Canada\u2019s greatest danger would be from an attack by land forces, and to meet this contingency it was absolutely necessary to have efficiently equipped bodles of men.The General was glad to know that the feeling in Canada tended strongly towards the organization of rifle associations.Too much attention was seemingly paid to expert, or individual, firing.It would be preferable to have a lot of men with collective excellence at firing, than individual accuracy in prise or target: shooting.The General favoured regular, visits of the Canadian militia to ORIGINAL MRS.WIGES \u2018 OF THE CABBAGE PATCH REGRETS HER FAME.Loulsville, Ky., April 27\u2014Mrs.Mary Bass, the original of \"Mrs.Wiggs, of the Cabbage Patch,\u201d was presented in the police court to-day, on the charge of throwing a jar of dirty water on the head of Mrs.Emily Smith, of Hazlewood, a suburb of Louisville.The -scene occurred Im the rear of Mrs Bass\u2019 domiclle whither Mrs.Smith went, after repeated knocks at the front door had fafled of a response.Mrs.Bass contended that her life has been made miserable by the visits of people from all sec s and climes, who were prompted by no other motive than curiosity.Mra.Smith maintained that she was prompted by a spirit of charity, gaining the impression from the book that \u201cMrs.Wiggs\u2019 was in need of assistance.The case was adjourned until next Friday.GRAND JURY FOUND | A TRUE BILL Special to the Montreal Star.Woodstock, N.B., April 27.\u2014 The Grand Jury yesterday returned a true bill against George Gee, accused of the murder of his cousin, Millle Gee, and the trial was then opened before a crowded court room.\u2018The prisoner appeared pale and downcast as he sat in the dock, only raising his eyes as he was told to look on each juror.The evidence given was very similar to that at the preliminary hearing, only that it was.brought out that the bullet from the rifle passed through the corner of the casement of the door before striking Millie Gee.One of the crown witnesses Ed.Kear- nry, testified that he had noticed the actions of the prisoner for some time before the shooting, and was convinced that he was out of his mind.Dan.Crane, another crown witness, said that two bottles of whiskey were drunk within the spacs of about two hours the night of tite shooting.The evidence of the doctors, which will probably be taken this afternoon, Aldershot, ang great military centres.The interchange of ideas would be valuable to the British army, and the colonial forces.Preparation for war was best attained by having efficient fighting forces, for the men so trained are really paying premium on the defences of thelr country.The power of doplomacy is passing away, and we have practically nothing now to depend upon but our fighting men.In closing the General said that if all the English speaking people wanted welding together the two great nations \u2014 Britain and America\u2014should unite for the protecting of both.They would make a solid block, sufficiently ptrong to withstand any opposition made by the other combined nations of the world./ !

to Be Charged on Canadian 4 Cities.1 45 Specipf Cable from our London Gerri ndent, : ~.ondon, April 27.\u2014It 1s understood that the English fire insurance companies are contemplating, in consequence of the Toronto fire, the putting of Montreal and other Canadian citfes on conflagration rates.They express profound disgust at the Canadian fix risks, declaring that high as the \u2018rates of premium are, namely 11-2 per cont, per annum, compared with three-8ix- teenths per cent.in Great Britaln, they are not high enough.The present high rates are due to the fact that there are so many wooden buildings, 8s in the case of the Ottawa fire.Hut the Toronto case shows that fire ia equally devastating in well-bullt business quarters.The Toronto fire, with net losses of $2,800,000 to the British companies, wholly sweeps away the profits of the past two years, AN EXPERT OPINION.A writer in the Canadlan Gazette, opinions of the English companies, says: \u201cIt is clear, after the Toronto blaze, that the best built towns are exposed to the gravest risks.These | risks must be taken account of if sub-4 stantial Insurance companies are to stake thelr vast \u2018resources in Dominien Insurance.There is no use in them doing so unless the business Is conducted by the soundest companies, If Canada wants the services of the reall sound offices, she must pay for them.British, American and Canadian companies in this matter are on the same footing, as they must organize the business qn paying lines or retire CONFLAGRATION RATES, It ts probable that the fire insurence companies doing business in Capada will agree to charge a conflagratiop premium of one per: eent.on Canadian cities, and edd the rates for buildings and.goods to this charge.The effect will be to make a large increase in the premium charges, throughout the Dominion, but unless Canadian local authorities have some convincing alternative to offer in the way of more \u2018efficient precautions agains conflagrations, the premiums will inevitably advance in accordance with proved risks.\u201d WINDERMERE.NO RECIPROCITY - Senator McMullen Will Move Resoïn- lution to That

cover more ground than the average good second baseman.Smith is also au heady player, a general by nature, and be has the faculty of thinking out a play on the instant.The loafer he hus no use for,

27.\u2014On the eve of the 1904 championship season, jt ts a matter of regret to Baltimore rooters that the Orioles are not in as good condition as one could wish.It was belleved that in the three weeks the\u2019 players have been here they could get all of the needful practice, but the unusually cold spring has played havoc with predilections.The fact ts that in those three weeks but five days have been fit for playing baseball, and the practice games attempted at other times have done more harm than good.At the present moment nearly every man on the team is not only \u2018\u2019unlimbered up,\u201d but his arms and legs are stiff and sore.It will take at least two weeks of warm weather to undo the rnischief caused by trying to work cut in the cold.During the past week five of the six practice games scheduled had to be abandoned entirely because of the high.freezing winds that ware rweeping down from, some have been unkind enough to say, Toronto and Montreal.sent by the rooters up there tn prevent the Orioles from getting a good start.And there are other things, too, which \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ready to show and Sergés\u2014that SPRING WEAR \u201cFit-Reform'\u2019 Wardrobe

to-day, weather permitting, between Toronto and Baltimore, at Baltimore, and Rochester and Jersey City, at Jersey City.The other four teams Montreal, Providence, Newark and Buffalo, do not get into the game until to-morrow, when Montreal opens at Newark, and Buffaio at Providence.440000000000 000000 00040000 0000000 tendon in his ankle, from which he has been suffering.Hearne, the only other catcher Baltimare boasts, reported only ten days ago and has hardly been able to get the first kink out of his arm because of the cold.On account of the cold, too, the four pitchers Baltimore has left have not only not been able to get into shape to pitéh nine full innings, but the benefits derived from the first week of mildness have been nullified by colds caught later.Rutherford, the other pitcher signed by Baltimore, took sudden leave of the club early this week, merely leaving word that he was homesick and didn't care to linger longer from his own fireside.Jordan, at first base, seems to be in fair condition\u2014 probably the best of the whale bunch.Lyons, the sprightly little second baseman, who was the club's utility infielder, has gone to his home in Wilmington, Del, and appears to be lost to the Orioles.And thereby hangs a tale, Lyons came to Baltimore soon after the middle of last season and hardly donned an Oriole uniform before those on the inside knew that his real name {s Maher and that he had, had a disagreement with the St.Joseph's team of the Western League, which had caused him to jump that club, Nothing was heard from the Western organization, however, and \"Lyons ™ was signed to a contract for 1904.The Baltimore Club took no cognizance of- BRITANNIAS WILL PROBABLY COLLAPSE\u2014 MEET TO-MORROW.Prominent officers of the Brit- ania Football Club state that it looks very much as if the club may collapse.They held a committee meeting last evening, and the result did not encourage them very much in the hope of keeping the club together.; A presentation was made to Mr.J.M.Black, the secretary, who is going to live in the Canadian West.It 19 hoped that there will be a large meeting of club members to-morrow, so that a generous expression of opinion may be had as po the future fate of the club.de docked code oho peer foc feof feof of fo oboe speeds ob of ofeke ficially of the claim which might be made that it was violating baseball law, especially as \u201cLyons\u201d insisted that he {8 now legally free, as St.Joseph had not sent him a contract for this season within the time limit set by baseball law.At the recent Eastern League meeting in New York.one of the rival managers spoke to Messrs.Hanlon and Frank, the owners of the Orioles about the matter, intimating plainly that if \u201cLyons\u2019 was played hy the Orioles, such games would be protested.On last Tuesday the Baltimore Club was officlaily no- tifled that \u2018\u201cILyons\u2019\u2019 rnust be cut loose from the Orioles or $300 be paid to St Joseph for his release.The club has declined to pay and \u201cLyons has gone.He was depended upon to fill any gap in the infield caused by the absence of a regular player and just now, when it looks doubtful whether Jennings can report in time for the opening game, he will probably be needed badly.Then, too, Griffin, the third baseman, is still suffering 80 badly from a blood- poisoned finger that If he is able to play at all to-day, it will be without previous practice and with the handicap the sore finger gives.Pattison, the player who has been tried out at third base for the past two weeks, will not do at all, and will be given his walking papers.Lewis, the shorts stop, has a very lame arm and that about completes the catalogue of woes, as the outfielders are in fair condition, barring lame arms.But for all its troubles, the Orioles will be on deck when the first gong rings, and by the time Montreal reports here, hopes to be able to give it a warm reception.Montreal Only Starts To-morrow.The Montreal team which only plays to-morrow, left their training quarters at Richmond, Va, for Newark.The party includes Connors, Allan, Edmun- son, Yeager, Doyle, Doran, Tracey, Kennedy, Pappalau, McCarthy, Adains, Luyster, Krause, Bishop and Atherton.Walters left Richmond Baturday night for Philadelphia td visit his sister, and joins the team to-day at Wilmington.John Bishop who has joined the team is a Richmond local and is known there as \u201cBeauty Bishop.\u201d Bishop's career has been varied.He has always played with winning teams, and Richmond enthusiasts think the Montreal Club has done well to get him.He played around Richmond on the lots as a school boy, and was given a show in 1897, when he was signed by Harry Cunningham for Norfolk.He went back into Norfolk in 1898, but was transferred to Richmond, of the Atlantic League, and helped to win the pennant.In 1899, he waa with Richmond, and when the Atlantic League disbanded he went to Syracuse; of the Eastern League, and remalned there the following year.In 1901 he played with.Richmond in e When this league disbanded be went to Manchester, N.H., in \u2018the New England League, and helped to win the pennant there.; Last y Bishop was with the champion Sonendctady team, of the New York State League.He is still! à youngster and has all sorts of chances ahead of him.Toronto Ready for the Fray.Special to The Montreal Star.Toronto, April 27.\u2014Ag in past seasons and following the example of other clubs, Toronto, again this year starts with a winning ball team\u2014on paper, at

National Building.Considerable interest is being taken in the new store at 210 St.Lawrence street, the opening of which recently created so much excitement.There In no longer an opportunity for the small boys to exchange coals and then get two souvenirs, as they did during the time that these mementos were given away.The interest which now attaches to the store is of a permanent character and arises from the nature of the business carried on, which makes it unique.At all tirhes of the day people gather in front of the window and gaze upon a varied assortment of cutlery, musical instruments, hammocks, clocks, silver teapots and novelties, toys, revolvers, etc.What makes these articles interesting is the fact that they\u2018 are not for sale in the ordinury way, each one being marked \u201cabsolutely free\u201d in exchange for a certain number of snowshoe tags.These tags are found on \u201cBobs \u201d P| Chewing Tobacco and are not only § trade mark for this popular brand, but also possess an actual exchangeable value in the way above indicated, A walk through the store shows that an endless variety of articles, from a package of needles to a grand piano, is at the disposal of those who save a sufficient number of snowshoe tags trom .their tobacco.For a specified number of tags the young man starting housekeeping can furnish his home from cellar to attic.Those of a Sporting turn of mind can similarly be supplied with lacrosse or baseball outfits,\u201d magazine rifles, cAnbes, etc.Those who are fond of driving can\u2014if they are diligent in saving up snowshoe tags\u2014win a buggy, runabout, or park carriage.gentleman who will shortly leay Montreal for Europe on an Allan tine steamer makes the trip free by virtue of the tags he has saved.A farmer

vinced that the new contract: was à reckless and improvident proposition.It was sacrificing the best interests of the Maritime provinces and doing ser- fous injury to the Intercolonial.The members surrounding the head nf the Premfer should be transferred to the member for Annapolis, because it was he, after all.on his own showing, who was responsible for it.(Laughter) Sir months had elapsed since the contract was ratifled last year and absolutely no new information had been obtained as to the character of the country through which the road was to run.The quoting from the Jesuit Relations of 200 years ago, was the strongest possible evidence of the dearth of real knowledge of that country.Mr.Clarke created some amusement by some further quotations from the same Jesuit Relstions- one extract hefng a story | about the bears catching fish, while another was that birds were go numerous that when they were moulting any sav- Rges or deer unfortunate enough to be in the neighbourhood, would be buried in feathers.It would be a great comfort to settlers, said Mr.Clarke, to know that after their day's toil they would have these mountains of feath- ere on which to rest The fact was that s0 long as there were prairie lands awaiting settlement, no great body of sottiers would go towards Hudson Bay.The Government did not: even have energy or patriotism.enough to see to tt that the men employed on the surveys were Canadians and not aliens.Surely If this were a great national undertaking; the Government should at least see that Canadians are not discriminated against in the work.Mr.Osler had been taken to task for applying the word \u2018\u201cfakir\u201d to some of those connected with the enterprise.Oh.going to the dictionary, Mr Clarke found that a fakir was an Oriental religious as- tetie or begging monk.Mr.Hays, Mr.Wainwright and the others were certainly not religious ascetics.Whether or not they were begging monks he would leave others to decide; they certainly had done pretty well in their negotiations with the Government.A : fake, again.was defined to be a fictl- tious statement manufactured for publication in the newspapers.Did not that definition apply pretty well to the story given to the public regarding the deposit of the $5,000,000 guarantee ?The company, in fact.refused to put up the guarantee until the amendment wére made.Sir Rivers-Wilson had not deen 50 far Wrong in his statement that thia Parliament was called together for the express purpose of ratifving this agreement, The contention of the Finance Minister that all it could dost Can- 0000000000000 00000000000000000000000¢ ada waa less than $13.750,000 was absurd.The road was to ba 3,400 miles long.Sarsaparilla Over 60 yosrs oidi Think of it! Honesty, merit, power to cure, these are the s POR do \\ .\\ Of this Canada built 1,900 miles outright with the people's money and assumed the obligation for three-fourths of the rest.And yet the Grand Trunk admitted that its labjlity for the one-fourth of the 1,500 milés was $14,840,000.There was no doubt that Canada\u2019s obligation would be from 150 to 175 million dollars.That was $25 per head, and by adding an additional $23.50 per head, the country could own the road.That amount would be more than saved by not constructing the proposed line from Quebec to Moncton, besides assuring that all the traffic would go to Cal ports, which was by no means the cane under the present bargain.ATTACKS ON MR.OSLER.Mr.Clarke then proceeded to criticize some of the remarks which have been made about Mr, Osler during the discussion, because that gentleman is a director of the C.P.R.He pointed out the folly of saying that the opposition to the scheme came from the C.P.R.If that were 80, Why retain as High Commissioner a gentleman like Lord Strathcona, who was largely interested In that line?The Government plainiy did not believe any such charge, though some of their followers were making it.If they believed such a thing why had they recommended Sir Thomas Shanghnessy for a knighthood, why had they relied so largely on Sir Sand- tord Fleming, and why had they tried so hard to get Sir William Van Horne to accept the presidency of the transportation commission?Next r.Clarke proceeded to deal with the attacks made upon Mr.R.L.Borden by some of the Liberal members from the Maritime Prov- fnces, who have charged him with betraying the interest of that section of the country.He pointed out that Mr.Borden's proposition to extend the Intercolonial to Georgian Bay would be vastly to the advantage of the Maritime Provinces, a view which was shared by Mr.Emmerson, the present Minister of Rallways, although that gentleman since he obtained a seat in the Cabinet had been sllent on the subject.Apparently above the door which led to this cabinet was written \u2018all principle abandon ye who enter here.\u201d These attacks on Mr.Borden were being made by Mr.Wade and Mr.Russell, both of whom it was known were to re- celve government positions as soon as the session was over.No wonder they were quite satisfled with the Government polley In regard to the Maritime Provinces, but it was doubtful if the peqple would be so well sa- tisfled when they came to fully understand the situation.MR.WADE'S POSITION.Mr.Wade\u2014' \u2018May I ask what job it \u2018is that I am to receive?\u201d Mr.Clarke-~\"I understand that the honourable gentleman ts to be chalr- man of the commission to build the line from Quebec to Moncton.\u201d Mr.Wade assured the House that there was no truth at all In the rumour.He had never been offered a Government position and had no expectation of such.an offer.On the contrary it was his Intention to contest again the seat which he now held.Mr.Clarke, proceeding, said that®the contract would in no way {interfere with the Grand Trunk carrying on {its original intention.The traffic from the West would be brought to Port Arthur, and from there by boat to Georgian Bay ports, and then on the Grand Trunk's Ontarlo system to Montreal.West-bound trafic would be handled in the same way.In the winter months there was some chance that Halifax or St.John might get a little traffic that would not otherwise have gone to them, but it was only a chance, and for this it was hardly right that the country should be asked to bear such enormous obligations.The share of obligation that would fall on the province of Ontario was $66,000,000, and he was sure that the people of that provinee woûld prefer to undertake another six milllon#of obligations and own the road, instead of having it in the hands of à company.This road would be as far north of Toronto as Quebec IS east or Chicago west or New York south-east of it, so It could be understood why there was little enthusiasm about it in that city.It would have no relation at all to the industrial portion of the province of Ontario.Mr.Clarke concluded by moving the following amendmènt: +000 THE AMENDMENT.\u201cThat the bill be not now tead a second time, but that it be resolved: .\u201cThat the bill 13 intended to ratify and confirm agreements providing for the construction of a transcontinental rallway system, a large portion of which is to become the property of a railway corporation to whom the remaining portion is to be leased for fifty years on terms burdensome to the country: \u201cThat under the proposed agreements Canada must incur enormous obligations, both direct and by guarantee, while the obligation assumed by the other guarantor is comparatively small; \u201cThe House believes that before committing the country to such enormous obligations the Government ought first to submit to the people the whole question, and especially the question whether Canada should not rather assume the entire obligation and thus own and control the entire proposed line of railway from the Atlantic to the Pacific.\u201d i - 0000000900000 A DIFFERENCE OF VIEW.When Mr.Qarke's amendment was put a misunde nding occurred, which for a few minutes threatened \u2018to assume serious proportions.When the Speaker called for the ayes there was an indistinct murmur from the Conservative side.The call for with the usual custom, stood up to ask that s division be taken and the names placed on record, but Mr.Speaker Belcourt refused to allow this to be done, decluring that they were too late as the motion had already been declared lost He added that when he had called for the ayes he had not heard any answer at all - This statement was not accepted by the Conservatives, Mr.Osler- and a number of others at once declaring that they had voted.However, the Speaker refused to yleld, and Mr.Borden thereupon moved the adjournment of the House for the purpost of protesting and to signalize his disapprobation of the course which the Speaker had pursued.\u201cIt is a course I have never seen pursued before by a Speaker,\u201d sald he, \u201cand I hope I will never see it again.\u201d Sir Wilfrid Laurier was inclined to back the Speaker.He reiterated the statement which had been already denied, that none of the Conservatives had voted.and he sald that they had been the victims of their own lassi- ude.of straightening the matter out.He read from the ryles governing the House, and showed that the Speaker instead of a the motion lost, should have said: \u201cThe ayes have it,\u201d or \u201cthe noes have it,\u201d as the case might be, and then those who were not satis- fled with this decision ht take the proper steps for having vote recorded.Mr.Casgrain also pointed out that the motion had not been put in French and that, therefore, the proceeding was distinctly irregular.THE PREMIER YIELDS.The Premier with a jocular remark about the advantages of the dual language system, yielded.He suggested that the motion to adjourn should be withdrawn and a vote taken on Mr.Clarke's amendment.This was what the Conservatives wanted, and Mr.\u2018Borden withdrew his motion to adjourn.Mr.Speaker Belcourt surrendered with the remark that if it was the unanimous wish of the House that a division be taken he had, of course, no wish to interfere.As to whether the resolution should be read in French he still thought that was unnecessary unless somebody asked for it.Mr.Casgrain repeated that fit the right of the members to have resolutions read from the chair in both lahguages without asking for it, but this point was walved and the Speaker his hand.Mr.McCreary attempted to interpose with a point of order to the effect that the Speaker should have been provided ilsten to him.The vote was then taken; resulted in the amendment proposed by Mr.Clarke being lost by 47 to 66, a majority of 19 for It the Government.There were just 114 members in the House, counting the Speaker.The absentees numbered an even hundred.> 610006060196 06 099600600600 0° & GOHÈSS MR.BELL'S CRITICISM.Mr.Bell, of Pictou.continued the debate.He questioned the wisdom of withdrawing the attention of intending settlers from the lands of the North- West, to this new country far to the north of the settled parts of Ontario and Quebec.The whole scheme was of a highly political character.He could not see why it was expected that the new road would carry graln to St.John.None was carrled there now, although two roads to that city.Mr.Bell expressed the opinion that the Grand Trunk would find as much difficulty in financing the present agreement as they did the original pne.If the new road was of such vast advantage to Canada, why jeopardize its prospects by leaving it in such incompetent hands ?THE PREMIER'S PIQUE.When Mr.Bell sat down, Mr.Richardson, of South Grey, moved the ad- Journment of the debate.An agreement had previously been reached that the debate should be adjourned about 11 o!clock.It was then twenty minutes to eleven and Mr.Richardson offered his motion with all confidence, but :he was much surprised to find the Premier rejecting it.This the Conservatives regarded as a gross breach of faith, the Premier's action being without doubt, dictated by pique at the small size of the Government majority, and they settled down in a determination to assert their rights.Mr.Bennett next took the floor and spoke for nearly two hours, finishing a few minutes after one o'clock.Then Mr.Taylor, the Conservative Whip, entered on emphatic protest.He explained that he had gone home comparatively early, relying on the agreement made with Hon.Mr.Fitzpatrick that the House would adjourn and that the second reading would be put through by six o'clock on Wednesday evening, if possible, but certainly by midnight.Some talk took place over this, the Minister of Justice and the Premier refining on the terms of discussion between the party whips, until nothin was left of the asserted agreement.- Mr.R.L.Borden, growing impatient, said that if this kind of thing were to continue, it would be necessary to draw up all arrangements Between the party whips in writing.\u201cLet there be no more of this nonsense,\u201d said he, \u201cthis unpleasant and recurring suspl- clon of bad faith.\u2019 The Premier protested that no word of his had been broken, as no arrangement had been entered into with his consent.Mr.Taylor's motion to adjourn the debate was then carried.and an incident which has left a disagreeable feeling between the two parties was closed for the time.The House adjourned at 1.30 a.m.3 PARLIAMENTARY NOTES.Mr.Lefurgey will move for a return of all papers regarding the authorization of the new lobster fishery licenses for canning along the east coast of Prince Edward Island.Mr.Lefurgey will also move for a return giving the number of the chicken

the Chitral Expedition in Montreal.General Sir Robert Low.G.C.B., accompanied by Miss Low, reached the city yesterday evening on the C.P.R.transcontinental express.Sir Robert has latterly been attached to Lord Kiteh- ener\u2019s staff in India, and is new on his way home to England on furlomgh.Possessing a long and stirring military career, Sir Robert entered the Bengal cavalry in 1854.Having served throughout the Indian Mutiny, he was conspicuous in the Afghan war of 1879- 80.But possibly Sir Robert's most signal service, as also the one in which he was placed in the most hazardous position that had yet fallen to his lot, was in connection with his command of the Chitral expedition in 1895.Those who are conversant with the facts, will: remember how that portion of the British column with which Sir Robert was at the time, was surrounded by an ambuscade, and it was only by a display of the utmost daring that the commanding officer, with a few others, escaped to a position of safety.A Testimonial Conoert, The musicians of the Symphony Orchestra will tender Mr.Goulet a testimonial concert on Friday afternoon, May 6, at the Academy of Music.One of the soloists

thing\u2014but they do that one thing well.That is the secret of their success.They actually make new blood; just that and no more.But good blood Is the best cure\u2014the only cure\u2014for most diseases.Most diseases are caused by bad blood.Anaemia, palehess, pimples, eczema, indigestion, billousness, kidney trouble, backaches, sldeaches, neuralgia, nervous troubles, rheumatism and the special secret ailments of growing girls and women\u2014these are different diseases, but they are all due to bad blood.Ignorant people sometimes laugh at the idea that one little medicine can cure all these different dis- eases\u2014but they forget that they were all caused by one little trouble\u2014bad blood.The foolish people are those who take a different medicine for every symptom without thinking of the one cause at the root of them all.Dr.Wil- Hams\u2019 Pink Pilla strike at the root, bad blood and nothing else.They fill the veins with new, strong, rich red blood, which races to every corner of the body, toming the nerves and bracing each organ to throw off weakness and disease.In a brief way here Js some strong proof of confirming the above statements: .John Craig, Kells, Ont, says: \u2018Î was paralyzed and had no power over my right arm or leg.I had to be lifted like a child.Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills have cured me, and to my neighbors the cure seemed like a miracle.\u201d Miss Blanche Durand, St.Edmond, Que., saya: \u201cThe doctor told me I was in consumption.I had alternate chills and fever, and severe cough and was daily growing weaker.Then I began the use of Dr.Willlams' Pink Pills, and my health and strength have fully returned.\u201d Mra.John MeKerr, Chickney, N.W.T.says: \u201cFor some years 1 was a great sufferer from the aliments that make the lives of so many women miserable.I never got anything to relieve me until T began using Dr.Willlams\u2019 Pink Pills and they have made me feel like a new n.\u201d Mrs.Albert Luddington, St.Mary's River, N.8, says: \u201cI was a cripple from rheumatism until I began using Dr.Williams® Pink Pills.Now the aches and pains have left me and I am as well as ever.\u201d Mr.M.Cook, Lamerton, N.W.T, says:.\u201cDr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills cured me of a severe attack of erysipelas.\u201d Mr.Willlam Holland, Sarnia, Ont, says: \u201c1 suffered for two years from kidney trouble.I tried many

the last meeting of the St Louis Council, Mayor Gelinas presiding, Councillor Jubinville gave notice that he would submit a motion to reconsider the by-law which prohibits the keeping of saloons on Mount Royal avenue, opposite the Park.He admitted that acting on the advice of the town attorney, Mr.Bisalllon, the Coun- cll could refuse a license to Mr.Roy, and that the corporation éould not be held responsible for damages for refusing to do what the law prohibited the Council from doing.However, as Mr.Roy claimed that he was suffering damages, he thought the corporation should avoid a lawsuit.From the amendments to the charter which would come into force next year, fit would then be out of the power of the Council to grant this license; but this year the license could be granted by amending the by-law, and he thought this should be done to avoid Htigation, |- which was always very expensive.He, therefore, gave notice that at the next meeting he would move to amend the by-law, A notarfal protest from Mr.Landry was served on the Mayor and Coun- cll against delaying the St.Lawrence street expropriation which gave rise to a lively debate.Councillor Olivier explained that he had been present when the charter amendments came up before the Private Bills Committee of the Legislature and he had been impressed by the unanimity with which the .ommittee had thrown out the amendment: to delay the St.Lawrence street expropriation.When the delegation was asked the reason and replied that it was because there was no money to proceed with expropriations, they were told that was not a valid reason, because the corporation had been given power to contract a special loan for this purpose and that the money had been obtained.The plea of no money was pér- emptorily set aside by the committee and the Council was ordered to proceed with the expropriations within the time fixed by law.He moved that the secretary-treasurer be instructed to consult the town attorney so that the necessary notices to proceed regularly with the expropriations be given immediately.After a ong discussion, Councillor Daze moved in amendment that the notices be prepared and submitted to the town attorney for advice, and referred to next meeting of Council.The amendment was adopted on the following division: For, Martel, Beau- det, Gladston.Daze, 4; against, Martin, Jubinville, Olivier, 3.The main motion was lost on the same division.ANCIENT FORESTERS.\u2014 The Ancient Order of Foresters\u2019 euchre league series for Bro.Dr.J.R.Spiers\u2019 trophy has been completed for the season.Seven

a ,privilege allowed a public body by, the people for the verv definite and well-understood reason that much of {tz business\u2014in Britain, where the prac- I'tice grew up\u2014is of such a character f that news of it could not be allowed ; pre reach a foreign court.In Canada, | ;there are seldom occasions when theis (is true: and the privacy of the Cab- linet is a right more or less on trial .here, | There {s, in the nature of the thing, {no more reason why the Cabinet should i deliberate in secret than why Parlla- | ment should do so.At one time, Par- lament did do so.It was a crime to print a report of the proceedings of ; ParHament.But the free people \u2018of | Britain protested against this \u2018\u2018privi- llege\u201d until It was abandoned, though leven yet Parliament is theoretically | |supposed to sit with no \u201cstrangers\u201d In I the galleries.! Now the Cabinet fis, precisely like ; Parltament, a public body transacting public business.Except for the rea- sone we have stated, there is no more ground for Its claim to sit In private than there is for similar action by the City Council or the Harbour Boord.InCanada, where little business of forelgn intérest is transacted,some such rule as obtains in the American Senate might be tried\u2014that is, the Cabinet could go into \"executive session\u2019 when it wished to exclude :the public.Still there is not much disposition among our people as yet to raise this question.They are usually willing that the Ministers shall \u201cfight like blazes\" behind closed doors, if it pleases them to do so.But a few more such cases as this evident attempt to suppress the Blair memorandum will raise the question very seriously In the pubite mind.Undoubtedly this statement of Mr.Biair's vpinion at an early stage of the negotiations ought to have been made public.Undoubtedly, It would never have been made public if the Ministers had had thelr way.The people cannot avoid asking how much more valuable information is being unpatriotically suppressed under shelter of this rule of Cabinet secrecy.Can we afford, as a business people, to ccntinue to permit our Ministers to transact all public business In private ?If the Miniätérs are desirous of raising this question, they are going about it in precisely the right way.AN ACHIEVEMENT TO BE ASHAMED OF.The Liberals are quite elated that the Ross Government has managed to get through the session with its majority of three.This shows in a striking manner the difference between the New Liberals and the Old Liberals; for the Old Liberals would have been heartily ashamed pt the | performance.It 4s no trick for a Gov- | ernment to navigate with a majority of even less than three, if it has no principles which it will not sacrifice, and if it is entirely willing to satisfy the demands of every section of its following.Then the only accident which can befall it is a disagreement among the \u201cspoflsmen.\u201d The Premier showed how far principle would affect his course by his action on the prohibition question\u2014a Question with which he is personally very closely identified.He proposed his policy to \u201ccaucus,\u201d and \u201ccaucus\u201d rejected it with scant respect.He invited \u201ccaucus\u201d to let him know what it would do, and \u2018\u2018caucus\u201d seems to have been too busy with more important matters to trouble about his humble request.Still he went on \u201cleading\u201d the party.and there was no temperance legislation at all.The Soo guarantee bill found two of his supporters challenged by the Opposition as being personally Interested In jta success; but his majority voted that they had a right to help earry the measure through the Legislature, and help they did.There seemed to be nothing that the majority of three would not swallow, Now a majority of three is quite suf- | cient for all practical purposes, if it | for Sunday, is determined to stick at nothing.Those who imagine that.{t might be difficult to carry a Government with so slender L assume that there are members of the majority who will not \u2018stand for ¢verything,\u201d and that the Governmenthas some definite policy which it will either carry or go out.Both of these things would be to the credit of a party.Neither of them seems to have embarrassed the Ross Government.y So far from being proud of the achievement of the Ross Administra- ; tion in dodging and doubling through the session, men who still think of the tern \u201cLiberal\u201d as standing for something, will think of the doubtful victory with shame.They could have held the later representatives of their party in Ontario In higher esteem if | it had been more difficult to get through with the slehder majority of three.box ig not a pleasing sight for the remnants of a Reform party.0CCCCOOTOCEEEICD00COHT0000) Xe (a;

POPULAR COMMENDATION FOR WORK IN MONTREAL OF CHRISTIAN WOMEN.Speeches Delivered at the Y.W.C.A.Annual Meeting.The splendid reports of the year's work at the Young Women's ristian Association, given at the thirtieth annual mee ng yesterday, brought forth words of comunendation and encouragement.from the speakers of the afternoon, Rev.Dr.Johnston and Rev.J.W.Graham, who moved and seconded the reports.Rev.Dr.Symonds presided, and there was a large attendance.Among those present were : Mrs.Jas.F.Macfarlane, president of the Young Women's Christian Asso- clation; Mrs.M.H.Gault, Mrs.Fairie, Miss Cramp.Mrs.Fairman, Mrs.AS.Ewing, Miss Forsyth, Mrs.Adams, Miss Finley, Mrs.R.1.McLaren, Mrs.James Thom, Mrs.W.Ramsay, Mra.A.Frank Ramsay, Mrs.James Laing, Miss Herron, Mrs.J.A.Hutchinson, Mrs.Bannell Sawyer, Miss Sawyer, Miss Mathewson, Miss Hill, Miss Reddy, Dr.Lapthorn Smith and Mr.R.Lane | .After the reading of the various reports.Rev, Dr.Johnston expressed hin gdmiration for the work done, and welt upon the influence of such an organization in a city full ot young women earning thelr own living, many of them away from all home influences.After a humorous reference to the value of a cooking school such as that conducted by the Young Women's Chriatian Association, the speaker emphasized \u2018the need of a sense of their responsibilities on the part of the women who were in a position to give not only money but talents to the cause of others.Po \u201cThere never was a time,\u201d safd Dr.Johnston, \u201cwhen there was less readiness to recognize responsibilities.Women spend time and money cultivating \u2018I certain talents, snd then allow them to rust.To develop a power which ls later allowed to go to waste, 18 worse than if it had never been cultivated.Speaking of the business girl, Dr.Johnston sald while there was only admiration for the woman who bravely went gut to earn her living, he had no sympathy with those who, not being obliged to enter this field,\" took the work from those depending upon it for support.Women in business, especially those away from heme Influence, had a tendency to become brisé, 81d to lose the womaniy refinement which is a part of their charm.A home like the Y.\"W.C.A.was a corrective of such a tendency.The breaking down of social restraints by reason of men and women working together was a danger.and young women living away from thelr - homes .were fortunate to enjoy the privileges of an organization where there was so high a standard, and auch an Influence exercised as at the Y.W.C.A.In conclusion, Dr.Johnston pald a high tribute to the general secretary, Miss Tenney, the influence of whose character 1s felt in all branches of the work.Rev, J.W.Graham, who séconded the adoption of the reports, thought the work resembled an Iceberg, inasmuch as there was much more below the surface than appeared above.\u201cApplied Christianity.\u201d Mr.Graham called the work: which he praised highly.In hoping that the association would soon be able to obtain the increased accommodation which was needed, as well as money to pay off the present debt, Mr.Graham said it must be won hardly to be appreciated, \u201cand I hope you won't get the money too easily.\u201d .Before Rev.Principal Hill pronounced the benediction, Rev.Dr.Symonds said that this was a materialistic age, but a large leaven of Christianity leavened the mass of public opinion.\u2019 Tea was served at the close of the meeting, and a social half hour was spent.Montreal Statisticians.Mayor Laporte was elected

the hill is being increased at the rate of 100 a day.The bodies laid in the vaults of the Cote dee Neiges cemetery during the winter are being removed to the graves.Sev- enty-five men are kept employed each day, from early morning until evening, disposing of the bodies.Mourning parties may be seen at all hours wending their way towards Cote dee Neiges, to assist at the last rites over the body about to be lowered In the grave.The official records show that from the year 1642 to 1383, the deaths In Montreal, registered by the Fabrique of Notre Dame, were 222,296.It is estl- mated that fully 100,000 more have died since.The present cemetery was opened in 1855, and the yearly burials there now average 7,000.A good idea may be obtained of the city\u2019s growth by a glance at the long lines of official figures, each representing one soul less in the world.For instance, in 1642, one death Is recotded; in 1700 there were 64; in 1760, there were 196: in 1800, the deaths were 828, but in 1850 the record jumped to 1442.In.1870 it was 3,981: In 1880 it was 5,166.Five years later came the time of the great smallpox epidemic and the burials were 10,284, the last records of which

To-day and Decided to Have Aldermen Appear on Thursday.Special Staff Correspondence.Quebec, April 27\u2014To say that the Question of privilege raised by Mr.Prevost, the member for Terrebonne.in the House on Monday, caused a sensation is putting it mildly.It was a veritable bomb shell dropped into the political camp without any warning whatever.In an tustant the placid calm that usually reigns in the legislative halls was gone and in its pluce came angry recriminations.deniuls and counter-denials, and in one instance blows.Last night the Montreal bill was re- celving the attention of t legislators.Montrealers took pdisession of the large committee roown, the space below.the gangway looking like a bird's eve view of the City Hall on à busy day.Aldermen rubbed shoulders with senators.stock brokers, with their business eye opan for the $1.000 tux clause, contractors and men of affairs all were there to watch what was being done with the bill.But although the bill received a certain amount of attention, the sole topic of discussion in the House, In the Chateau, and in the places where men congregate was the startling charge made against the ajrman of the Financé Committee, Alderrflan Val- lieres, by the man from Terrebonne.MATTER EAGERLY DISCUSSED.Long after the committee closed its \u2018arduous labours at 11 o'clock and the | House closed for the night.the inci- a special meeting of the book- | gent was being eagerly discussed at \u2018the Chateau.The Montreal contingent almost to a man stood by Alderman Vallieres, - A deadlock has been reached.The has

somewhege.Where that misunderstanding comes in will be sifted by the Committee of Privileges and Elections.TOOK THE PROPER COURSE.Whatever Individual opinion there may be regarding the rights and wrongs of the matter.there is a consensus of orinion that the Legislature ald the correct and proper thing under the circumstances, by referring the unfortunate incident to the only portion of the legislative machinery that could handle it satisfactorily, viz, the Committee of Privileges and Elections.To have called Alderman Val- lleres to the Bar of the House to ex- of his right + 4 KALEDIOSCOPIC CHANGE.+ Special to the Montreal Star.Quebec, April 27.\u2014 Another « Kaledioscopic change took place this morning in the Prevost-.al- Heres incident.At 10 o'clock it was decided that the best course to adopt in order to settle the matter once and for all, was to call Alderman Valiieres before the Committee of Privileges and Elections at once, Alderman Val- lieres will therefore appear tomorrow before the committee.[t will meet In one of the rooms of the Legislative bulidings and several witnesses will be called and examined.This is a sudden change from the conditions that existed last night and early today, when the feeling was expressed that the Incident was practically closed, and has brought the matter up to a bolling \u2018Point of interest, It was the general opinion that the referring of the matter to the committee of Privileges and Elections was a quiet way of disposing of a question that is bound to be filled with unpleasant features.Alderman Vallieres will therefore come before the committee - to-morrow and one of the most sensational incidents of this session or many past sessions will be sifted.Alderman Hebert and Vallleres will not discuss the matter further and the latter maintains the stand he has taken since the explosion In the House.and re-affirms the statement he has already given the Geo ob eee ede le ob oe fe ole of of fo fe oe 0 +

effect of | magnitying an incident that, under the i present clrecumstances, js not devoid lot theatrical features.That is the { opinion generally expressed.Mr.Pre- [a fought until the last ditch in his | | i ondeavour to bring Mr.Vallleres to the Bar and it was not until Premier Parent entered the field to express the opinfon that the best course to adopt was that of the Committee of Privileges nnd Elections.that the member for Terrehonne agreed.and there the matter resta.THAT ALTERATION.Alderman L.A.Lapointe, when seen by a Star representative, confirmed the report of the altercation between himself and Alderman Hebert.\u201cWhen I heard what transpired in the House, 1 could hardly believe my ears, as Ald.Hebert had denied signing any such declaration.\u201d Said Alderman- Lapointe.\"When I met Ald.Hebert later I antd, ™ en you did do that did youd he heal- tated for a moment and then sald: \u2018Yes\u2019 I was so angry that I struck him in the face and T would do it again under similar circumstances.\u201d added Alderman Lapointe.Alderman Ames, who is here with the alderman, watchihg the committee stages of the Montreal bill.was seen by a.Star representative thir morning.He seid there was considerable feeling among the Montrenl contingent in the matter.If the expressions brought before the notice of the House by Mr.Prevost were uttered, If every conversation between men was to be held up against them.probably not one could be held riniess.| i EDITORIAL COMMENT.The Chronicle, commenting editori- .ally this morning on the Prevost-Val- leres Incident, says: \u201cIt meems-to us that the Provincial Legislature in taking note of the against Ald.Vallleres, of Montreal, !s placing Itself somewhat in the position of the frascible ol& gentleman, who, on being Informed that a certain _indi- 1.vidual had called him a \u2018liar\u2019 and a scoundred, declar his intention of making him prove it.It will not ad charges «brought by Mr.Prevos to its dignity by investigating expressions, however derogatory to lt, which may be used in private, or quasi private, conversation, and which should not be regarded as public property.unless they are formulated {in specific charges.appear in the col- umuis of the press, or are made at a public gathering.No doubt such unflattering expressions of opliion are very annoying to the subject of them, but as each member of the Legislature must be fully satisfied that they do not apply.to himself personally, it is Qiffi- cult to see how he should stoop to notice them, unless he dges not entertain the same comfortable opinion respecting others of his colleagues.It {a certain, moreover, that such touchiness defeats its own ends, as we may learn something from Germany, where the extremes to which the law of lese

this morning of the witnesses to the accident, by which eight-year-old Charles Thompson, of 33 Selby avenue, Westmount, lost his life by being run over by a Star delivery cart yesterday afternoon on Inspector street.The evidence of Mr.Harvey, who picked the unfortunate little boy up, after the accident, as well as that of a little boy companion of the deceased, and the dFivér of the cart, went to show that the accident was unavoidable, and the Coroner, therefore, discharged the case without the formality of summoning a jury.The little boy and his sister were visiting their grandmother

ments.LESSONS FROM THE PAST Passage of Bill Will Revive the Expropriation Craze, snd Lead to Burdensome Taxes.To-day a Star reporter interviewed ! ex-Mayor Wilson-Smith (who, it will! be remembered, for some years took an active interest in legislation uffeut- ing the borrowing pqQwers of the city), with reference to the financial clauses of the Montreal City Bill.now before the Legislature, ; \u201cIt 1s dificult to realize,\u201d said tik ex-Mayor, \u201cthat the City Council Is ; serlous in asking such powers as they apparently do.I am quite certain that neither Mayor Laporte nor some of the other members of the delegation are in sympathy with, certain clauses of the bill.Who ever heard of a city asking to be allowed to borrow to an! unitmited extent?This bill bangs: Br nagher ! ! It 19 simply astounding.Why, it! practically would mean, it the expro-! priation craze be revived and the bill pass (which, of course.it will not), | that the property of every real estate owner in Montreal could he mortgaged | to its full extent for expropriations and other public Improvements.Of course I do not mean to say for one moment that such was the intention of those who prepared the bill.The readers \u2018of The Star will remember that a few years ago, numerous deputations went to Quebec in order to secure the limitation of the city's borrowing power; the debt having gone up by leaps and bounds under extravagant administrations.\u2018The Increase of the debt wus almost entirely due to the expropriation craze which took hold of visions and dreamed dreams of making Montreal a Paris.For five years, I went venr after year to Quebec with denutations and after a hard fight, the borrowing powers of the city were limited to 15 per cent.of the taxable value of the real estate.In order to meet the total debt and pay all labilities outstanding at that time.the limit was fixed at 180 millions of dollars, which gave the city a borrowing power up to 27 millions.However, in order to carry out the necessary public works if this growing city.it was arranged that the City Councll would be permitted to borrow up to ten per cent.of the Increased taxable assessment every year.which gave It anywhere from 200 to 300 thousand dollars per annum, for putting in drains, extension of water mains and works of that sort.It was further agreed that if money was required for any special purpose, it could only be borrowed by the SUBMISSION OF A BY-LAW to the real estate owners and having the, sanction of a majority in number and in value and a sp=cial tax, must be levied for the repayment of such spe- clal loan.These laws have been passed and are to this day those governing the loans, which have been and are being made by the city.It is unnecessary to say more In this connection, for I am quite sure the Legislature will not permit what would certainly be a permanent injury to the eity and the province.You will remember that ail the expropriations were to be suspended until such time as the city had money in hand to carry them out, for It was felt that no growing.city in the condition of Montreal could afford to continue the expropriations.Jt seems à great mistake that this absolutely neceasary law should have been alte enter upon the expropriation business again.When we were fighting against the opening up of these expropriations ft was, of course, felt that certain property owners would suffer some damages.but that, if so, they should be indemnified liberally rather than do any more expropriation business.By clause 461a of the present bill the Council asks for power to decide, by simple resolution, fo do public works therein specified, which include the opening, widening ahd prolongation of streets, making public squares, ete.For the purpose of carrying out these Improvements, they ask by clause 461F for power to borrow whatever sums of money may be necessary to defray the city\u2019s share.of the cost of the improvementa.Thetgare other clauses asking power to boMow money without setting any limit.Mr.Wilson-Smith referred to the conduit question, remarking that a million and a half of dollars would be insufficient to carry out the scheme.He also condemned the idea of the city going into the fire Insurance business.\u201cSuppose.\u201d sald he, \u201cthe citizens should awake some fine morning to

Aid.Hamelin.of Ste.Cunegonde; Mayor Messier, of Delortinier; Mayor Cross, of Westmount, protested against the proposed increase in the rates.They pointed out that the company was bound by its contract to furnish pure water.Mayor Guay thought the various councils should see whether it was pos- gible.by adding slightly to the rates, to get a perfect service, Ald.Ethier wagned the delegates that a refusal to comply with the company\u2019s offer might mean a long lawsuit, and bad water \u20ac in the menntime.Mayor Cross asked for an estimate of the cost of placing the intake outside of Nun's Island.and was told that in three weeks an estimate would be furnished.At that date .also, the company will submit an estimate for the filtration plant.;

Business Out West.Traffie conditions on the western railroads, says a Chicago despateh.showsd no improvement during the past week.+The unseasonable weather of the last few \u2018days over the greater part of the territory covered was against an increase of business of any sort.Most rajlroad officials \u2018say that they look upon the present depression as temporary.and believe there is enough tonnage being held back by the inclement weather to make them very | embracing | + ERS aa AA OC ROS BLANC busy when warm weather really sets in \u2018The business situation generally continues to show mi ked evidences of hesitation Leading Jobbers and wholesalers say that their general sales during the last week or ten Jays have shown à sharp decline.The head of une uf the largest distributors in the \\Vest says that he attribrles the present wave of indecision to the cold, backward spring.Nobody seems ready to du anything Crops are backward, and melchants are taking no steps towards discounting the future.One thing that is wm favour of 4 heavier movement of general merchamdise later on is that stocks of evervihing in the hands of interior merehants are very small.and.with the first warm weather, it is expected that a moderate rush of business will follow.Discussing the Trade Outicok.In the discussion on the trade outlook so far as Western States are concerned, there seems to be more or less divergence of opinion on the part of bankers.railroad men and leading business men, who, through the nature of their business, profess to keep in close touch with the exact status of the situation.men ber of the first named profession said that the general business situation.in a broad sense, is not improving.As an argument, he pointed out that there is a continued growth of complaints that coi- lections are poor and slow.although he admitted that money is very easy.and that fair activity rules in many industries.but indications as a whole do not suggest that the present year \u201cwill be more than an average one.On the other hand, railroad men will not admit that the situation Is any worse than they had every reason to expect.Farmers are prosperous, and very busy taking care of their spring work, and are therefore not contributing very much to railroad tonnage, but this fs the usual state of affairs at this season of the year.Crop reports received by the various roads are almost all of an encouraging nature.Jobbers say that the strength of the business situation is observed in the strong finan- vial vondition of the West generally; they say that collections are easy.and that they look upon the conservatism now prevailing as a favourable condition.TOPICS OF THE STREET.+ Ff While the Montreal stock market had its bull tendencies and therefore did not lack interest to-day.the centre of Jdiscussion among the men on the \u201cStreet\u201d was the Montreal bill.now before the Legislative Committee at \u201cQuebec.In the first place, some brokers, among them Mr.Rodolphe Forget, were inclined to belleve that the $100 \u2018taX per annum which has been decided upon would be levied on each member \u2018of the firm and not upon the offices.Others, however, are of .the opposite opinion, contending that this would hardly be practicable, and that the evi.\u2018dent intention of the bill is to raise the sum of $100 from each firm, or.say.$5,800 from the entire membership of ithe Montreal Stock Exchange.\u2018 That the clause in the bill taxing outside brokers and \u2018bucket shops\u2019 $1,000 each went to the wall was not a surprise, as it has been stated among those interested for months past that they were quite sure this gection of the bill would be killed.In the first place the obvious excuse of such a heavy penalty for the pleasure and profit of doing business in Montreal was to shut out the \u201cbucket shop.\u201d With all due respect to the legal talent of the province of Quebec.it would likely be found beyond their power to justiy discriminate between the \u2018\u2019bucket shop\" as !t actualiy exists at present and the legitimate broker doing business with foreign connections.A widely recognized legal authority gives the following definition of a \u201cbucket shop\u201d: \u201cA dem conducted nofninally and ostensibly as an establishment for the transaction of a grain, cotton and stock exchange business.No article is actually bought and sold, but the proprietor bete against his customer on the mar- kêt fluctuations.and also makes him psy a commission for the privilege of losing his money.\u201d While, of course, there may be re- I gorts which come under this head { within the eity Imiits they are conducted in such a manner that it would bé impossible for the outsider to deteet tt.\u2019 In other words, if the trades are being \u201cbucketed\u201d in the city the public isnot \u201cwipe.\u201d A telegram from Quebec, signed A.\u2018was posted on the Montreal Board of Trade to-day, announced that the private bills committer at Que- déc had decided not to tax \"Corn Ex- change brokers.\u201d According to the members of the Corn Exchange the City Fathers would have been very much surprised to see whit an amount of revenue would be derived from taking grain brokers $100 each per year.As ft happens there are exactly four grain brokers whé are members of the Montreal Stock Exchange Association.At égent some thirty members of the Corn Exchange are in active trade, but | of these only four firms are what is known as grain brokers,\u2014that is firms which buy and sell on commission.The remainder buy thelr grain and sell 3t much the same as a wholesale dry ronds |man does his woollens.and therefore would not come under the law had lt deén enacted.All that

by Indulging in a really interesting market.\u2018That is something that has not developed for several days past.The tone was strong and there was some spirited bidding for stocks.Just what was at the bottom of such a =trong contrast as to-day\u2019's with yesterday's murket it is difficult to say.¥ looks us though the brokers were ashamed of such a dutl market as they produced yesterday, and for the sake of the reputation of the leading tock Exchange in the bomin- ion, resolved to do betier There Was no particular news likely to make stocks more attractive than yesterday, and there was no particular stimulus from outslde markets to assist the local element.The London market, in an outburst of general cheerfulness, sent a higher quotation for Canadian Pacific, but the trading here and in Wall Street was not important.the local transactions being at 1173, compared with 117% vesterday.Wall Street opened strong, alded by the better prices from London, but the strength aid not last very jong.nnd within the first hour prices were off again.Thus It will be seen that the local market had its little boom all to itself.Just what part the public played in the trading It would be difficult to sav.but it was the general impression in the Street that manipulation was responsible In some cases for a considerable portion of the buoyancy.The public continues slow to take up stocks for speculation.While the trading has been much more active aud broader on several days within the past month, the market to-day worked very Élose to the high level tn prices attalned on previous

DEBATE ON INSURANCE MATTERS.Brecial to the Montreal Star.Ottawa, April 27.In the Senate yesterday, there was a long sitting.In the afternoon {it was arranged that the presentation of his portrait to Hon.Mr.Wark should be made on Thursday tn the Chamber.It was also agreed to adjourn from Thursday till May 18.\u2018Aîter recess Hon.Mr.Domville made his motion for a committee to investigate the affairs of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association.A serious debate ensued, Hon.Mr.Scott urging that the motion should not be proceeded with until the bill was gone on with.Almost all the Senators who spoke agreed with the idea that an investigation was necessary, but the consensus of opinion was that it should be made by the committee to which the bill was referred.Finally this was ugreed to and the debate adjourned.-Atfter recess, Hon.Mr.David enquired of the Government whether the amount deposited by the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association is still retained as guarantee for Canadian policy-hold- ers only, under the old system,and whether another deposit has been made for the benefit of those who are insured under the new system.Hon.Mr.Scott said the amount of the deposit was retained for the benefit of the Canadian insurers only.A portion had been deposited under the new eystem.Hon.Mr.Domville resumed his speech on the motion for the committee to enquire into the position of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association.He read a letter fron Messrs.Onslow and Winslow, solicitors, of New York, who are taking action against the company.He also read a letter from Mr.Wills, late vice-president, offering to meet the Senate committee and give evidence.Mr.Domville quoted the Insurance Act on the powers of assessment com- panfes, claiming that the association had violated them and acted illegally.Hon.Mr.Scott thought that as Mr.Kerr.who had introduced a bill intended to remedy the wrong, was absent, the matter should stand.He thought the House had been very toi- erant.Mr.Domvilie had taken up a great deal of time.That House was not a court of law.Hon.Mr.Casgrain moved the ad- Journment of the debate till May Hon.Mr.Domville objected.Hon.Mr.McMullen regretted that Mr.Domville was not within his rights.A mistake was made in 1885 wh the association was allowed to do fousiness in Canada.The question Nam a very important one.They must be careful not to repeat the mistake, and the only way was to probe the matter to the bottom.Hon.Mr.Dandurand thought they should think before granting the committee.Mr.Domville said they were gudges, if 50.it was an important move they were making.He urged that the committee, should not be granted until Mr.Kerr was present to put in the defence.Hon.Mr.Ferguson thought the ad- Yournment a wise step.The blll should be examined and then they could see if it were necesshry to go any fr.rther.Hon.Mr.David was embarrassed by the question for adjournment.He feared it might end any investigation, and that those who.like himaelf, had lost money In the association, would get no benefit.He belonged to the old class who had dropped their policies and were dead to those who had sav- | ed a part of their policies and were still living anû kicking.Hon.Mr.Gibson had waited to see what the company would propose and he failed to see how the House could learn anything unless the company could be brought either before a regular committee or a special committee of the House.Hon.Mr.Befque was sure the Senate was in sympathy with both the classes to which Mr.David belonged.He felt sure the blll could be amended so as to be of benefit to both.Hon.Mr.Poirier would support the adjournment of the debate but without prejudice.There might be no precedent for a special committee to investigate this matter.Hon.Mr.Mills had seconded the motion merely because of Mr.Kerr's absence.He had a perfectly open mind He was much struck by Mr.Domville's statements and thought an investigation necessary.Hon.Mr.Domville had charged fraud and mismanagement.He would consent to the adjournment on the condl- tion that-the- insurance bill wis not allowed to take precedence and burke his inquiry.The debate was then adjourned.On the Orders of the Day, Hon.Mr, Ferguson asked why a return concerning the Anglo-American Telegraph Company, ordered last session, had not been brought down.The James E.Taylor divorce bill was read a third time and passed.ASSENT WAS GIVEN TO STURGEON FALLS BILL.Toronto, Ont., April 27.\u2014Among the bills assented to by Lieutenant-Gover- nor Clarke yesterday was No.63, generally known as the Sturgeon Falls School Bill.This removes all doubt of the Lieutepant-Governor's position as regards the action of the Legislature.St.Catharines, Ont, April 27.\u2014 A speclal meeting of the Separate School Board has been called for the purpose of discussing the board's relation to a proposed bonus to a manufacturing company.Although Separate School supporters have to pay their proportion of all bonuses and exemptions, the Separate Schools get no benefit from the school tax which.accrued from bonused institutions, and in view of the recent action of the Sturgeon Falls Separate School Board the local Separate School Board thinks #t is about time this state of things should be remedied.FORTY-THREE NATIVES KILLED AT JOHANNESBURG.Johanneshurg, April 27.\u2014The

pointed out that ft was not to apply to pending cases, as for instance, to the litigation over the eitys action in endeavouring to reserve Fonsecours market for the exclusive use of the country people, Mr.Stewart, K.C., for the C.P.R.ob- Jected to the tax of $100 upon a detective agency, and the imposition is not to fall upon officers in the exclusive service of a raliway.After a long discussion, the provision that if an infringement of a by-law be continuous, such continuance shall constitute day by day a separate offence, was struck out on motion of Dr.Lacombe, Mr.Prevest also strongly ob- Jecting.FINANCIAL SECTIONS.The financial sections gave rise to a good déal of discussion.Hon.Mr, Par- the city has not In the course of one ot more years effected loans for the amount, it is empowered to borrow every year under article 344, it.may, In any subsequent year, in addition to the $300,000 authorized for such year, borrow a sum not exceeding the amounts of the loans authorized but not contracted for such previous years._ It wax suggested that the section be amended by providing that not mare than two years\u2019 amount could be so toaned in addition to that authorized for the \u2018current year.: When Mayor Laporte, who had arriv- wd during the evening, and Mr.Ethier insisted upon at least three years be- fig mentioned instead of two, Mr.Cochrane asked the city comptroller, Mr.Dufresne, if ever the city had gone three years without borrowing and if they could do so.course, he understood the subsequent provisions in the dill for temporary loans and In response BEFORE RETIRING If you are exhausted by a hard day's work, a long walk, or have had wet feet\u2014beware «you are apt on the slightest prqvocation to catch a severe cold.\" Ward it off, by taking a dose HATHIEUS SYAUP OF TAR AND COD LIVER OIL © This preparation, being a wonderful tonic and stimulant, as well as the most effective remedy for colds ever known, i gives the strength to repel the coming sickness.Taken in time, it will save many an illness.Beware of imitations, The wonderful success of Mathieu's Syrup Has brought © many in its wake.85 cents for large bottles.Sold everywhere.a cabmen, that \u2018is, for the conveyance ;
