Star.Providence, R.L, May 12\u2014In a hard fought And scrappy overtime game yesterday, the Clamdiggers beat the Royals by the score of 3 to 2.It took twelve innings to decide the battle.and the visitors were in the running up to the fina! chapter.Conn was put out of the gume and Atherton was put oft the grounds for too strenuously questioning Umpire Sullivan's decisions.; There was nothing doing on either side for the first four innings.In the fifth.Montreal broke the ice, Luyster cracking out a warm single.Doran sent an easy one to short and Luysier was thrown out at second.Pappalaus hit was followed by a timely single by Walters, which sent Doran across the plate, Pappalau taking third.He died there, however.Joyve sent an.easy one té the pitcher and Clancy flew out to

city.will send a teain to St.Louis to compete In the tournament in connection with the THE BRANTFORDS SPEAK PLAINLY AND DEFY THE G.A A.0.Laugh at the Professionalizing of the Toronto Players by That Body.Special to The Montreal Star.Brantford, May 12.\u2014The recent action of the C.A.A.U.in placing several of the members of last year's Torontos under the ban because they refused to take affidavits to the effect that they had not received any financial return for their lacrosse last season, has not caused very much excitement in C.1.A.circles, and the only lesson to be learned is the one that has been taught the directors of the Toronto Club.In their anxiety to weed out professionals they have brought the names of a lot of lacrosse players before the public.and are now without any kind of a team at all.It is believed here that anyone who attempts to run a team in the senlor series of the C.L.A.or the N.A.L-.U.on a strictly amateur basis will find it an Impossibility.Nowadays a man must be good to catch a place, and the majority of players think that when they get so expert as to be able to provide amusement for thousands of people, they should get something out of ft.The action, therefore, of the Torontos in holding up the players and inviting the C.A.A.U.to professionalize them seems extremely ridiculous to lacrosse people of the west.The calmness with which the Shams rocks and Capitals announced, too, that they were amateurs and nothing else makes lacrosse followers in Ontarlo smile, although even in Ontario every map is an amateur until it is proven to the satisfaction of the world that he is not.Lacrosse men here say that it will not be denied by the management of either the Capitals or the Shamrocks that there are but few, if any, of the players who have not been paid for their services.And this Is the reason that the Brant- ford team ls not worrying about sorñé* of the ex-Torontos being professionalized.The thing might cause a lot of | trouble if it were not dealt with firmly and sensibly, but it will not under the present circumstances.The Brant- ford team has challenged for the Minto Cup and it has been suggested that if the outlawed men play either for or against the Brantfords before the Minto Cup games are on, the Sham- rockd will not need to meet the challengers.If the Shamrocks were willing to carry off this idea it woul?mean that no C.L.A.team would ever be permitted to compete for the championship of Canada, as.If the C.A.A.U.profesaionalizes all the men who play against the Tecumsehs (his season, about every player in the association will be up against it before the season has progressed very far.It is not the hard and Abbott.Umpires, Demer and Young.Attendance, 65.000.At Philadelphia\u2014 Chicago

ourned gumes from the adjo the Internati Previous few d intention of the Brantfords to play any of the members of last year's Toronto team, but there will be several of them on the Tecumseh line up, and if the C.A.A.U.gets {ta way there might be trouble.However, the C.L.A.does not recognize the :ullngs of that asso- clatlon and the recent banning will not count for much.The C, L.A.several times made an effort to arrange to have a governing body appointed to do the work that the C.-AgA.U.should do.but #0 far the other \u2018associations have failed to come together.The claim of Ontario lacrosse men is that each athletic association should have charge of its own affairs and that it should not be forced to recognize the interfer- ences of an Irresponsible body.For instance, the O.R.F.U.might investigate alleged complaints and tts findings would be respected by sister associations.The governing body should be composed of representatives of all the different athletic associations.The C.A.A.U.does not in the slightest represent the wishea or the desires of the C.I.A.or for that matter any other body in Ontario.It is improperly cen- stituted, and so for several years no attention has been paid to its findings.Not so very long ago one Griffiths was professionalized by the C.A.A.U., he was reinstated by the C.L A.and immediately all the other C.L.A.teams played against him.The Brantfords were one of the teams, and according to the theory being advanced at the present time they should have been professionalized then.Under the same argument the Shamrocks are themselves professionalized for playing against the Brantfords.And foilowing the same line of argument, although the whole ides is absurd, about every man who ever handled a lacrosse stick would be a professional.It is expected that the C.L.A., if any aotion at all is taken, will immediately reinstate all the men ho have recently been professionals by the C.A.A.U., and there ja then nothing to stop them from playing all the games they want.Ît is not likely that the men who have the Minto Cup in thelr care will allow a matter of this kind to prevent competition between two of the bi st lacrosse organizations in the world.The C.1.A.at least is too big an association to be bullied by the C.A.A, U.and the universal opinion is that it can look after its own affalrs.So far there has not been any trouble and the organization is prospering.The Brant- fords will go after the Minto Cup in July, and they will play for it then.The Shamrocks in the meantime need not do any worrying about what the C.A.A.U.has done.game at the World's Fair, end the entry of the local team has already been forwarded to James E.Sullivan, secretary of the Athletic Committee.It is the intention of the Shamrocks to send one of the strongest teams that has ever represented the organization abroad, and a decided effort will be made to capture the world's champlon- ship.It is likely that the team wlll leave for St.Louis July 2.This feature of the Shamrock programme abolishes any chance of the team going East this season to compete for the Minto Cup against the Shamrocks of Montreal.The time spent at the Fair will be all the players can afford to lose during one season, and the club, by deciding to enter the St.Louis tournament, abandons the project of trying for the Minto Cup.MISCELLANEOUS To Stop Boxing at Fort Erie.Special to The Montreal Star.Toronto, May 12 \u2014Instructions will be sent by the Attorney-General's department to Chief Mains, of the provincial

we judge none, which is very dla- couraging.In this bad old earth of ours, when one persons afflicts another.there is often legal redress; but in the heavens Saturn can sail in and afflict the moon, and there is no one to stand up in defence of \u201cThat orbed maiden with white fire laden.\u201d This is not as it ought to be, yet Saturn is not the only offender.Mars it seems, has been \u201cafflicting\u201d both the Moon and Saturn.We don't mind about Saturn, who is rightly punished for his ill-treatment of the Moon.We only hope Mars is giving it to him hot But the Moon\u2014our sympathies go out to her\u2014and if a syndicate could be formed among the heavenly bodies to discipline Mars and Saturn, we'd take some of the preferred stock at ten cents on the dollar.The further we read in the prediction of the Hoboken man, the worse the matters get.Uranus, which he describes as another \u201cevil planet,\u201d is also taking a hand in the mischief.On the day and at the hour when the Fair was ppened this remote evil-doer \u201cwas posted in the fourth mansion of the heavens.\u201d Readers wlll at once see what a deadly circumstance this was.It simply puts the last nall in the coffin of the Fair.In the words of the wise man himself it \u201cpositively shows beyond a doubt that the Fair will come to a peculiar and bad end.\u201d He really does not see, considering that \u201cthe tenth mansion of the heavens was afflicted as well, how the authorities could have selected a:more unfor- PROVERBS OF THE WORLD By Geo.Murray, B.A, Oxon.¥ All who are familiar with proverb- la] literature, ancient aud nodern must have noticed that some proverbs, In idea, and n few In actual form, are Founded upon man's the strength and the weakness, the 800d and the evil of which we all par- tâke, 1t ence of one portion of the human family were to be found greatly at variance with that of another, or of the rest.But as regards the proverbs of Europe at leazt, there appears to be a reason.be- dissimilar.why it is now difficult, or perhaps impossible, tonality.For nearly four hundred years proverbs have been collected and studied by those who wrote books, and by those for whom books were written.At the commencement of the sixteenth century Erasmus made them a popular br nch of literature.The first edition of his \u2018\u2019Adagia\u2019 appeared in 1500, and before 1600 upwards of fifty editions had been printed in various parts of Europe.The proverbial rayings of antiquity, gleaned by the great scholar in | the course of his vast reading, were thus garnered for modern use, and became part of the common stock of modern thought.Many of them had doubtless long before passed from the learned to the vulgar tongues, and had never fallen out of circulation.Wafted abroad in sermons, in the fugitive writings born of the controvérsies of the Reformation.and in the talk of those to whom Latin was still a daily Instrument of social intercourse, many a forgotten \u2018\u2018Wise saw\u201d of Greece and Rome now once more became current, and found its way into the vernacular of Paris and London.Basle and Bologna.A foreign proverb, used appositely on any striking occasion by an eminent or popular speaker, was not unlikely to root itself in any language.The proverb, also, was an Intellectual commodity, which was sure to pass from land to land, through athe agency of those whose business is most remote from book-leärning or the arts of peace.And after the lapse of s0 many centuries.during which printing, commerce and war have co-operated to remove an- cler.t moral and physical landmarks.tunate or evil time for the birth of an event than they did\u201d in this case.Certain details, which we have not mentioned, in connection with \u2018\u201cmansions\u201d and \u201cafflictions,\u201d point to a destruction of the Fair buildings by anarchists, and render it probable that the particular building representing Science will be the most seriously injured.Is there no gleam of light on the horizon ?Well, just this much: \u201cthe fortunate planets Jupiter and Venus were (at the critical moment) posted in the eighth mansion of the heavens.\u201d \u2018They will exert what little influence they can to avert the very worst results.The astrologer, however, does not think they can do any more than see that the insurance on the buildings is ail right; but he does look to them for that much.Evi- dentiy the insurance companies are going to have their share in the afflictions.As to the exhibition itself, ft is dished; the last word is that it \u2018will meet with many reverses and disasters from the very beginning.\u201d Seriously, if the mouthings of anarchists are restrained by law in the United States\u2014as some of them have found to their cost is the case\u2014should an egotistica]-erank be allowed to sug- rest the commission of crime to people of that kind or to the mentallv unbalanced class ?It seems to us that a mansion in a government establishment, where certain upright bars in his window might serve him for collimation lines as he made his celestial observations, would be a very suitable place for a person of this character.Commissioner Preston reports that a despatch to the London Chronicle announcing that a dozen Londoners were returning to England, disgusted with their experiences in the Canadian North-West, caused many intending emigrants to talk of cancelling passages ta Canada already booked.This ig entirely credible.Englishmen at home are Influenced by nothing so much as the reports of other Englishmen who have been here and spied out the land.Glowing \"letters home \u201d are the best immigration literature we can have.The Government\u2019 should take pains to investigate every case of a British immigrant showing dissatisfaction, and see if it cannot remove the cause of trouble.Rabbi Ashingky Arrivex Rabbi A.M.Ashinsky, of Pitisburg, Pa., previously of Montreal, atrived this morning to Inaugurate \u2018he new Synagogue of the Austro-Hungarian congregation.on Milton street.The cermony will take place on Suwday next.The Rabbi is the guest of Mi.and tc make the special possession.of each age and country the comman het- itage of mankind, it is hard indeed to assign ita precise parentage to any proverb which does not in some local name bear the stamp of tits birthplace, or in its colouring and imagery wear the garb of its native clime.At the same time, as Mr.Walter K.Kelly aptly remark3.a source of lively Interest is opened for the reader, who is thus enabled to observe the manifold diversities of form which the same thought assumes, as expressed lin different times and by many distinct races of meh; to trace the unity In variety which pervades the oldest and most universa! monuments of opinion and sentiment among mankind: and to verify for himself the truth of Lord Bacon's well-known saying that \u201cthe genius.wit and spirit of a nation are discovered in its proverbs.\u201d Almost any proverb will serve as an illustration of what has been said.Thus \u201cA rolling stone gathers no moss\u201d is an exact rendering of an anclent Greek adage, which is repeated with MHttle variation In most modern languages.The Italians say: \u201cA tree often trana- planted Is never loaded with fruit.\u201d and many other countries have kindred proverbs.The absurdity of sending to any place that which abounds there, and thus doing something which ls foolish and superfluous.is forcibly Hl- lustrated In the proverbs of many countries.The Scottish form derides those who \u201ccarry saut to Dysart.and puddings to Tranent,\u201d\u2019 while the English sneer at carrying \u2018coals to Newcastle.\u201d The old Greeks spoke of bringing \u201cowls to Athens\u201d: the French and German 1 talk of \u201csending water to the sea\u2018;

we may rest assured Montreal! will have plenty of opportunities to exhibit her, literality in this respect.But it be- It is high time this question was brought to an issue, and the municipalities plainly informed that they must either become part and parcel of the city, and thus secure fire stations and proper apparatus, or else provide for themselves.THE LATE Chiefs Bertram and Patton frequently called the attention of the Fire Committee to the great danger to city property, tn case of à portion of the brigade being away fighting a strong fire in one of the city suburbs, and a sudden conflagrtign breaking out in the businessy part of Montreal.Before the absent engines and firemen could be recalled, there would likely be a serious loss to the city taxpayers.It took years, however, to bring the suburban councilmen to reason.and to make provision for their own protection.Nearly all of the suburban towns to-day have fire companies, but not large enough to cope with an immenge blaze ang the city brigade 1s still called upon for assistance.In sporting circles it is positively stated that Mr.R R.McLennan.the champion hammer Ltarower of Glangarry County and the Dominion, has sent .a challenge te the great Scotch champion hammer- man, Donald Dinnie.to throw the heavy or light hammers, for a large purse.LT.-COL.McLENNAN, who is now settled in- the factory town of Cornwall.Ont.,.in his day was looked upon as an athlete hard to beat in Highland games.He was a great hammer thrower, but gave the sport up over twenty years ago.The death of Donuld Dinnie happened many years ago.after returning from the Highland sports, held 3 Bramear, Scotland.The pro les of the Torrance (Philadelphia) life saving mattress were tested yesterday afternoon at the Allan wharf in the presence of 8ir Hugh and Andrew Allan, Mr.T.Cramp.Dominion Line: Consul Dart, Mr.Milloy, Canadian Na- xigation Co.: Capt., and a large number of invited citizens, with most satisfactory results.WITH the exception of Capt.Barclay, of the gentlemen mentioned above, all hava since pald the debt of nature.Capt.Barclay has been a long time the port captain for the Allan steamships, and is well known to the travelling public.The: experiments were made with two mattresses, one filled with prepared cork, and the other with prepared hair and cork, each to sustain three persons.or nine on a pinch.The last was very practical in exery way, according to seamens\u2019 views, Mr.F, A Quinn, advocate, was yes- rday married to the eldest daughter the late Hon.Thomas D\u2019Arcy McGee, after receiving the congratulations of their many friends, left by the noon ttain for a honeymoon to Chicago and the principal cities of the western States, MR.QUINN was for some years a practisiig member of the Quebec Bar.Montreal section.\u201cDuring the Mercier administration he was appointed one of the recretarfes to the Carmnmisston on the Codification of the Sfatutes.After the date Mr.Mer- cler was dismiisead, he vesigmed hin appoiptment to Accept a more Inera- tive position in a law firm in San te of The happy couple, Francisbe He was well versed In comm law and was an excellent Frenoh gcholar For further information address 349 1 | Have been spent.AN tr Pianos 7 Cut Prices.We're clearing used Square FM- \u2018anos next week.We HAVE to, we're 50 cramped for room.The sale commences Monday morning at 8 o'clock.The first buyer gets the best bargain.Best value ever offered in Canada.If you are not prepared to pay all cash we can meet you on this point.Here are 10 specials.We've 25 others.S8TEINWAY.rich tone, cost $600, cut cash price, $134.CHICKERING, beautiful case, cost $700.cut cash price, $131.HAINTS, very fine instrument.cost $500.cut cash price.$129 GABLER, quite modern, cost $650, cut cash price, $127.;

on schools on the afternoon of the 23rd and the morning of the 24th of the coming month.Dr.Bhaw drew attention to the fact that the bill which will enable the board to raise additional taxes for school purposes had passed the two Houses at Quebec, and that, consequently, when the bills are sent out next fall the Board wiil be enabled to levy an increased rate, In this connection the suggestion was made that the salaries of teachers shoul * be Increased by fifteen per cet, and Dr.Barclay expressed the view that the increase should be made to apply to the last quarter.Superintendent Arthry pointed out that this would mean an added expenditure of 880.000 annualix.Ald.Eke.was opposed to Increasing the salartes this year.H- thousht that before anvthing was done toward increasing the salar- should be made with the salaries paid in other Cities also having regard to the num- Ur of students under each teacher No action was taken.Superintendent Artay

movement should originate with the Provincial Bcarl nf Health and that action should, in any event, be taken through the Civic Health Denartment.A Fuel Committee was appointed, composed of the chairman, Canon Evans, Ald.Robertson and Dr.Barclay, and a committee on repairs dur- Ing the summer vacation.composed of Dr.Barclay and Dr.Shaw.The board decided to take over the manual training

\u201cB\u201d AT Special to The Montreal Star.Fort WHliam, May 12.\u2014At one o'clock this morning tire broke out in the Canadian Pacific's elevator \u201cB,\u201d which was completely destroyed In spite of the afforts of the firemen.The elevator was built of wood and in consequence made a flerce fire.It wus built in 1888 and had a capacity of 1,250,000 bushels.It contained 300,000 bushels of\\ wheat, which was destroyed.The building was of the type technically known as a terminal transfer eleva\u2018or, for unloading cars and loading lake vessels, and had thirteen elevator legs, and all the necessary machinery.It was operated by à 1,000 horée power engine.The value of the elevator was $250,000.Elevator E.built last year, {3 an annex or storage house for B, and is located between B and A and Is of steel tank construction, having a capacity of 2,000,000 bushels.A STRONG WIND.During the progress of the fire there was a strong wind blowing from the east, which fanned the blaze, and it only took about two hours\u2019 time to reduce the large building to a heap of burning timber.The steamers Newmount and Neeb- Ing were near the elevator, but moved to a safe distance up the river.The town firemen worked like demons.and did good service in saving the buildings nearby.The C.P.R brigade were also on the scene, and were of great help.Plate glass windows were broken in stores on Simpson street, by heat, six hundred feet from the elevator.Providence favoured the town, for and a flerce wind blew in the opposite direction.The Dominion Bank, Dawson's hardware store, Piper's P-rd- ware store.Platt's fancy goods, Hogarth's grocery and Dr.Hamilton's office and Western's Block were in much danger for a time.ROAR LIKE NIAGARA, As the fire burned flercely it sounded Nike the roar of

C.P.R.elevator at Fort William, which was consumed this morning, will, according to the Montreal grain men, seriously cripple business from that port during the present season.It appears that elevator B, which had ya capacity of 1.500.000 bushels, was also a working house and upon the machin- j ery of this structure depended storage house E, which has a capacity of two miillion bushels.The lake craft are therefore left with only one working elevator, which In turn is connected\u2019 with a storage elevatbr in place of double this equipment.Elevator experts are of the opinion that this storage house E may be equipped so as to help out the situation to some extent, but its capacity without the adequate machinery of a regular working house will only be a slight help.The grain men on the Montreal Roard of Trade are informed that the burned structure contained some 300.000 bushels of low grade wheat, worth about $°40.- 000, while elevator men place the value of the elevator iteelf at about $250,000.The structure was of wood and vas built in 1888 by the C, P.R.This will make the total loss to the insuranre companies of about half a milllon dollars, The logs, according to the grain mén.will not be seriously felt until! next autumn, when the new wheat begins coming down.for at present there is no great quantity of grain In the west to move seaward., Both the elevator and grain destroy- | ed therein were fully covered by insurance.0 petite i-tetetei : 3 + Denounced the Cérporation.\u2018\u2019\u2019he whole thing is a fraud and I denounce the corporation.\u201d The woman who uttered the words was short of figure, bright of eye and ugnacious in appearance.The civié official looked very much perturbed and asked the complainant what was the cause of her sweeping denunciation of the corporation.\u201cQh.\u201d said the woman, with her arms akimbo and with a smile of derision on her face, \u2018I can easily tell you why I think the corporation is a fraud.\u201d Stroking his moustache in an non- commital manner the official stood with bent head waiting for the {rate lady to proceed.\u201cThe trouble is,\u201d vegan the woman agressively, \u2018that the corporation will insist upon my chimney being swept.whether I want it or not.\u201d **Ah!\u201d The official was beginning to comprehend what the trouble was.\u201cIt is this way,\u201d went on the woman, \u201ctwo black individuals covered with soot came to my house.They sald the chimney was dirty.The villains! (the complainant struck the counter), the chimney was not dirty and I refused to let them sweep it and charge me for work that did not need doing.\u201cThink, Mr.city official, of two men with faces the colour of soot telling me the chimney of my house must be swept whether I wanted the work done or not!\u201d Again the civic official said.\u201cOh,\u201d in a subdued way and looked anxious ly at his desk in the distance \u201cWell, I told your two black sweepers that if they dared to sweep the chimney I would not pay them a cent.I told them, too, that if they put out my fire with their sweeping business I would see what a kettle of boiling water could do to make them white.\u201d The woman looked viciously up at the mild official, who ejaculated, \u201cOh,\u201d and rubbed his hands in an uncômfortable way.\u201cWell, Mr.official, would you Dbe- lieve that those two villains, after all J had sald, went to the top of the house and commenced to clean the chimney.\u201cSure, my heart was broken.Here +, *, « e Ee twas my man coming home in twenty minutes for his dinner and the fire was smothered with soot.\u201d \u201cBut you sald there was no soot in the chimney and that it did not need cleaning?\u2019 was the undiplomatic inh- terruption of the city official.\u201cWell, bad luck to you.\u201d was the flerce answer, \u2018\u2018and is it you, nr my- relf, that knows when the chimney needs sweeping?\u201d Again the city official took up the defensive and told the woman to kindly proceed.A Somewhat mollifiled she went on.\u201cWell.after the two black heathens had put out my fire, spoiled the dinner .and made me so mad that I did not know what I was doing.they came down and*askéd me to pay thenr for the work they had done.\u201cI refused to pay a cent and ran for the kettle with the hot water.\u201cThey did not wait any longer.What they did do, though, was to call to me from the street that they would have the law on me and make me pay for the work they had done.\u201cAnd what do you want the corporation to do?\u2019 was the gentle query.\u201cWhat do I want the corporation to do?\u2019 was the prompt and vicious answer, \u201cIs to see that those two sweeps do not get the law on me.They work tor the corporation.I will never pay a cent,\u2014no, sir, not a red cent\u2014for the work of those two heathen.What I should do is to sue the corporation for the abuse I got from my man when he came home And found the dinner was not ready.\u201d The official said that he vould do his best to see that the charges in this instance, were not collected.Made happy with this promise, the irate dame slapped the official in a friendly way on the shoulder\u2014told him that he was \u201call right,\u201d and finally impressed the fact upon him that when the chimney of her house needed sweeping she wculd notify the corporation \u201cherself\u201d of the fact.As che bustled from the office with triumphant mien.the official shook his head in a sorrowing way and called to the junior clerk to inform any other women who might enquire for him that he would be out for the remainder of the day.THE EXACT TENDERS SUBMITTED TO BOARD Much curiosity has been evinced regarding the exact tenders submitted to the Harbour Commissioners for both the freight sheds and the elevate ed railways.The Star is now able to give \u2018he amounts in both instances, though the names are withheld, it being deemed best to omit all but the successful tenderers, Messrs.Peter Lyall and Sons.The amounts are as follows: Freight sheds, conveyor galleries, and all other work not included in the elevated railways: Lyall tender: $2,305,000, $2,462,000 $2.475.000, $2,572,563, $2.597,674, $2,625, 094, $2,894,000.Tenders for the elevated roadways: $359,000,

will take some action on the matter within a comparatively short time.Until this is done, however.nothing further can be accomplished.It was hinted to-day that there might be some alterations in the

throygh India recently to investigate the cgn-4 ditions in the leper districts of that country.The sights I! saw were piti- abte, one can hardly realize the loathsomeness of the fell discase that is working such havoc among the n4- tives of that country.\u201d These were the words of Mr.John Jackson, of London, England.a Feli low of the Royal Geographical 8n- ciety, to a Star representative at thé Rath Hotel to-day.Not only has Mp, Jackson an interesting personglity, but he is filled' with enthusiasm fox the alleviation of some of the suffering, of the homeless, hopeless, helpless thousands who are bound in the chaing of the terrible disease leprosy.> Continuing, Mr.Jackson sald: \u201cTher are over a quarter of a million lepers in India.They are scattered all over the country.Bengal is the most leprous province, but Bengal is only a very small section of what might be termed a country rotten with leprosy.Th ceivil authorities are trying to scope with the dread diseaze, Civil authorities, however, have their hands tied to a certain extent, and it remains for the philanthropic to care for the suffering and tend to the leprous.\u201d \u201cIs the disease on the ,ncrease?\u201d asked the reporter, \u201cI'm glad to say that the last census showed that the number of lepers in Indla was decreasing.The civil and religious authcrities are working to the end of the complete segregation of the lepers in India.Whether this is a feasible plan remains to be seen, but segregation is the goal of every man and woman who has the welfare of the poor hcpeleas people at heart.\u201d \"Is leprosy hereditary?\u201d was asked.\u201cNow you are getting into deep waters of discussion.\u201d was the reply of Mr.Jackson.\u201cPersonally I do not think it is.Children are born of leprous parents that never show a trace of the disease.It is, in my opinion, contagious.There has never been a remedy found for leprosy.\u201d Mr.Jackson outlined the work that was done by various agencies in India for the alleviation nf the suffering of these poor creatures.He spoke of the asylums that had been built and the efforts that were being put forth to make the life of the leper one t worth living, to a certain degree.The | i | i i i 1 ! | main thing was to save the children.\u2019 That was the chief object.Bengal ard the other districts, with their teeming thousands of poor helpless creaturas, wer crying out for a land to lift the dark veil of disease.AN INVESTIGATION MAY BE IN ORDER.The announcement in The Star last night that an investigation would like- \u2018ty

admitted that both the road committee and the city council, by the method of \u201clumping\u201d prices, had made the city lose several thousands of dollars.\u201cIt is too bad,\u201d sald an alderman who has been in the council for several years, \u2018to see the present city council and road committee going back to me- theds that were condemned by the old regime.\u201cThere is not one good argument for what the road committee has done in regard to the awarding of the contracts.\u201cI understand that an investigation is now to be asked.If such a motion is made jt will be Interesting for the public to note what aldermen will vote for and against the proposition.\u201cIf the city is not to be sunk still further into debt the new city council will have to stop transacting civic affalrs

for the Protection of Women and Children.If the scheme which Mr.G.Marshall, secretary of the Society for the Protection of Women and Children, is introducing to the directors of iliat society/is supported by them, and if they succeed In interesting the Government in their plan, there will be new terrors for the drunken husband.There will be a new scourge in the hands of the judge, \u2014the degenerate will have to work.At a meeting of the directors of the society held this morning at its offices on Palace street, Mr.Marshall introduced\u2018 the following proposal, \u201cTo sdb- stitute farm work for gaol In the case of drunken husbands who do not support their families; and to substitute a training ship for incorrigible boys instead of the reformatorles now in use.\u201d GAOL HAS NO TERRORS.Mr.Marshall stated that his experience has taught him that gaol has little or no terrors for the man who will per- gist in drinking or in abusing his wife.Moreover, the judges do not care to sentence a man to gaol who 13 sitnply guilty of getting drunk, but of no other infraction of the law.If the accused persists in the practice, he is often rentenced to a term in, the common gaol; but then it commonly happens that his family is in a worse condition than before, as while he was at large he at least contributed something to their support.Neither is the punishment corrective, as it i$ not severe.It is also decidedly unhealthy.The proposal is, therefore, to agk the Government to establish a farm where {the Inebriate will be compelled to la- .bour.He will be paid for this: and the proceeds will go towards the maintenance of his wife and family.He will be subjected to improving influences; and should leave the farm a healthier man, physically and morally, than he entered it THE EUROPEAN SYSTEM.Mr.Marshall says he has consulted a number of the judges and he has found them entirely in sympathy with the project.The scheme has proved successful In Rhode Island and in various European countries.The system so impressed itself upon Judge Sicotte, when he inspected it that, on his return from Europe, he submitted a report to the Government, of which, however, nothing more has been heard.Ah interesting discussion took place, but nothing was decided.The matter will be discussed at greater length at the next meeting of the board, when it is hoped that there will be a larger attendance.The report of the secretary for the month of April was rendered showing that fifty cases had been reported, Investigated and dealt with, Involving 36 families and 82 children.Six children and three women were placed in homes of their own religion.Nine wives reported their husbands as drunken and guilty of non-support Three were warned, and six were arrested and punished.; The society obtained the payment of three servants\u2019 wages which were wrongfully withheld.Twenty-seven miscellaneous cases were dealt with, in one of which pecuniary ald was given.HOTEL ARRIVALS.At the

STOCK MARKET.Practically all the information which filtered into the local stock \u2018market during the forenoon from New York was of a bearish and depressing character, and the early trading bare out the pessimistic matter which came In prior to the opening of the day's busl- ness.In the face of this it was not much wonder that the local tone should show some inclination to heaviness, even though the weight of local sentiment is bullishiy inclined.Brokers recognize, in view of the intimate rela- \u2018tions between the two markets, that it would be futile to attempt anything in the way of advancing prices, while Wall Street continues in its present frame of mind.NO SELLING PRESSURE.\u2018While there was no disposition to buy the market there was an absence of selling pressure resulting in generally narrow price changes.The most active feature was Twin Clty, which showed strength In the early dealings at 95 to 95 1-8, compared with 94 3-4 at the close yesterday.The adverse Influences of Wall Street, however, soon deprived the market of the strength in that quarter, and the subsequent trading was all at 94 3-4.The balance of the trunsactions were lacking In special significance.Canadian Pacific was steady in London, and only & few broken lots changed hands here.In Wall Street the stock sold at 116 3-4 during the forenoon.SOME WEAK SPOTS.One of the features inclined to weakness was Nova Scotia Steel, which sold at 76, compared with 76 3-4 for preceding transactions.Montreal Power also declined 1-4 to 73 3-4, and Richelieu, after opening strong, at 87 1-4, reacted 1-4.The market for that issue keeps exceptionally strong.The Dominion Iron securities market was duller than for some time past, and the only thing done up to about noon was some odd lots of the common, when a regular market lot sold at 11 1-2, compared with 11 5-8, at the close yesterday.Dominion Coal preferred was strong at 110 1-2.Mackay preferred was steady at 68.and Detroit United showed a loss of 1-2 at 62.GRAND TRUNK'S DECLINE.Another sharp decline in Grand Trunk securitles was one of the features of the London market to-day.At 98 the first preferred was 1 1-2 below yesterday's figures, and second at 81, showed a two-point decline from yesterday.The third preference was not so striking in its decline as yesterday, only showing a difference of 3-4, compared with 11-8.The decline: since the commencement of the month's trading on May 2.amounts to 3 1-4 for the first pref.\u2026 3 3-4 for the second, and 1 3-8 for the third.As noted in this column yesterday the poor showing In the company's earnings for \u2018the first three months of the year, and a further decrease for the first week of May, coming at the same time as the offering of a new issue of 4 per cent.guaranteed stock, to the public to the amount of $2,500,000 is the underlying cause of the weakness.The range of prices at the first of the month and for the past few days shows as follows:

which was a decided factor in yesterday afternoon's decline in nrices, were again under severe pressure to-day.the common stock striking a still lower record, while the preferred showed a decline of nearly 1 per cent.in the first fifteen minutes.The railway list, and in fact the general market, was unfavourably influenced by the weakness in Steel securities, although declines shown were not in any case very extensive.The only conspicuous exception to the general drift of the market was Amalgamated Copper, which opened higher and advanced further on very animated dealings.There was no definite explanation of the course of this stock.beyond rumours which were not.generally credited.that some settlement was arranging with the Heinze -interests of the protracted contest in Montana.Consolidated Gas was another exception to the common tendency.that stock rising 1 per cent.on comparatively light dealings.Republic Steel and Iron, and most other industrials were unfavourably influenced by the weakness in United States Steel.The local traction group continued comparatively steady, notably Metropodlitan Street Railway.Active features of the railway list were Penna., Rock Island, New York Central.Louisville & Nashville, Atchison, \u2018Baltimore & Chio.and Pacific stocks.American shares showed small and irregular charges in London, with declines pre- dcminating, but operations here for for- elgn account were upon a small scale.The engagement of additional amounts of #old for export Saturday was announced.hut It did pot seem to be a determining factor in speculation.There was really very little that was new over night which would explain the course of the general market or of any particular stock.Canadian Pacific was very dull; its shares to 1 o'clock, 200 shares.By noon losses in the raflroad stocks wera increased, followed by a slight recovery.Atchison fell a point: Slosg Shef- fleld Steel and Pressed Steel Car preferred lost 1: Tennessee Coal.1%: and Republic Stee) pfd.23.Of the speclal- ties, United States Express fell 2.and Keokuk and Des Moines 44.Adams Express and Chicago and Eastern H's, certificates rose 2%.and Anaconda.2.Just before noon U.8.Steel sold at 9.SCHWAB SELLING HIS STEEL STOCKS ?Special to The Montreal Star.New York, May 12.\u2014Attention in Wall Street was once more directed to the affairs of the United States Steel Corporation yesterday on account of the drop | in the price of its securities.À new low level was reached for chmmon stock, and preferred stock and second 5 per cent.bonds both sustained material losses.Other Steel shares were weak.According to a report, some of the pressure on the Steel Corporation shares was due to the Hauidation of the holdings of Charles M.Bchwab, former president of the company.Jt is generally accepted in well-informed circles that Schwab will soon sever his connection with the company, and his resignation from the directorate will speedily be announced.He was not elected a member of the finance committee, and this was considered n blow to Schwab's prestige.No one would state definitely that the heavy.sales of the Steel Trust secnritles were for his account, but that impression was generally prevalent.Money and Exchange Quotations.Montreal Exchange quotations: New York funds.par to 1-32 between banks: sterling 60 days, 9 3-32 to 95, between

NT TREET From recent developments it would seem that the Harbour Commissioners have in Messrs.Peter Lyall & Sons\u2019 tender for the steel wharf sheds an exceedingly low bid, and there appears little probability of the Government turning it down.A representative of onc of the American tenderers, who spent a month in Montreal carefully going over the plans, remarked as follows: \u201cAs it happened, I was made aware of the amount of Mr.Lyall's bid, $2,305,000, before the same was opened by the Harbour Commissioners.However, this was no incentive to put in a lower one, for to the best of my knowledge and bellef there Is no money in the work at this price.The Harbour Board can congratulate itself on obtaining a rock bottom figure.\u201d It is expected that the cdntractors will put something like a thousand men on the work, and will hustle it along from the first.The preliminary work will include the excavating and pile driving, after which will come the concrete and after that the steel structures.Mr.D.A.Campbell, live stock exporter, does not agree with the general run of opinion as regards the British embargo against Canadlan cattle.In an interview to-day, he sald: \u201cIf the cattle exporters know what is good for theni they will make no move toward having the embargo against Canadian cattle removed in England.To my mind, this embargo, which does not allow us preparing cattle for market on the other side (they must be killed within ten days of landing) is working to the lasting good of the Dominion.Under the present arrangements cattle must be finished off in Canada in place of sending half fed beasts abroad to have them fattened up on English fodder.Under the old arrangement Canadian cattle did not compare with American.They were: not as well conditioned before starting out: the consequence being that market price in England was invarlably lower.Now, however, we are working under the exact same conditions as the.American exporter and treating our cattle in the same manner.Finishing off cattle on this side means more money in the Canadlan's pocket and a better class of beet from the Dominion in the British market.\u201d Mr.James Rodger, representing the Gault interests in the Canada Coals and Railway Company.has been appointed liquidator, the application having been granted by the Supreme Court at Halifax.A winding up order was also granted.This company nas cost Montreal men a good deal of money, a half million would, perhaps, not be far away from the amount.The property was unloaded on the local men by a New Yorker as one of the best things of the past or present generation.It may have been a good thing for the seller, but it certainly never paid those who made the purchase.The funny part of the whole affair is that the property was acquired as the direct result of a dinner party.This New York man came to Montreal some dozen years ago, bearing the best of references.He was introduced to the local magnates right and left, and eventually he was given a dinner.Those attending the function represented the foremost financial and commercial concerns in Canada, and many of them have since passed away.When the bill-of-fare had been thoroughly discussed, and all about the board were feeling at peace with themselves and the world at large, this coal proposition was launched.They bit, one and all, like a hundry trout at a bright red fly, and before they left the table that evening the Canada Coals and Railway Company had been launched.\u201cMost expensive dinner.\u201d remarked one of the shareholders

changes there.The buying demand this morning droped off, but selling pressure was also absent.Bank shares were firm, Hamilton at 212%, showing a gain of 5%.and Ontario at 130, an advance of %.Sao

compiled by the C.P.R., just issued, tells a story of magnificent prospects for 1904's wheat yield.From every station in the grain-growing belt along the main line, railway agents advise that districts are sowing a material Increase In acreage, with only two exceptions.The report Is significant, as giving the first statement on actual acreage that will mature wheat this year.Figures from along the Prince Albert branch are Aladdin- like.The Saskatoon agent reports an increase of 200 per cent., while the average for the whole branch is 65 per cent.Fifty per cent.increase along other lines is reported at Rouleau, Weyburn and Yellow Grass, the remaining districts ranging from 10 to 25 per cent.Several stations on the main line, Lariviere and Souris branches, report \u2018\u2018acreage same as last year.\u201d Allowing the report as a fair jndi- cation of general conditions, a conservative estimate places the total number of acres under crop In the whole North-West, Manitoba and Territories at 4,300,000, the proportion would be: Manitoba, 2.390,000; Territories, 1,900,- 000 acres.Canadian Northern Rallway has also issued its report on seeding for the

SOODHEOS® An Unsettled Wheat Market.From the Special Correspondent of the Montreal Far on the Chicago Board of Trade, Chicago, May 12.\u2014Wheat was unsettled.new July selling at 85% to 84%.It closed yesterday at 385%.There was a strong opening and a better trade generally during the first two hours, the factors being the reported loss of 1,500,- 000 bushels of wheat at Fort William, which was later reduced to 250.600 bushels, and the predictions for rains in the North-West.While the crop news from the North-West was still conflicting in character, that from rellable sources was generally bearish.Minneapolis wheat stocks decreased 500,000 bushels for the first five days of the week, and in the face of this the flour demand at Minneapolis was reported at a standstill.Some of the best crop experts figure that Kansas will have 95,000,000 bushels of wheat, GOOD LIVE STOCK IN DEMAND AT TORONTO.Special to The Montreal Star.Toronto, May 12.\u2014Ninety-seven loads in to-day, including

bales.There was strong competition for good greasy, haif-bred combing and medium New South Wales scoureda, and extreme rates were paid.4 French buyers purchased greasy pleces eagerly.Cross-breds, largely medium sorts.were in spirited demand at steady rates.Americans bought a few lots and also some good to fine Merinos.The offerings of Cape of Good Hope were \u2018chiefly low greasies.Punta

Foramer Figures\u2014Potatoes Easier.EGGS.\u2014The market is quite firm.One dealer who had just sold fifty cases at 15c atated that he had heard of a sale at Xc more than he had obtained, and that he regretted having sold so soon, as it looked as though higher prices were obtainable.Others, however, declared that 14%c would buy their stock, and that they were unable to get a fragtion more.As sales ceruilniy took place at that figure yesterday, we quote 14% to 16c, with a firm undertone, and most of the trading at the higher figure, in all probability.The production continues light, and there is no longer any poasibllity of cheap eggs thls season.Recelpts reported on the Board of Trade thts morning amounted to 1,382 cases.BUTTER.\u2014Dealers had nothing new to report of the market this morning.Stock was still changing bands on a basis of 15 to 1534c for fresh creamery, according to quality.At these figures buying was free, as consumers were abie to purchase from grocers at unusually low prices.The make is not at all large, but it is quite sufficient for demand at present quotations.It {a difficult to say what the result of the arrival of grass butter on the market will be.Receipts reported on the Board of Trade thia morning amounted to 2,607 packages.CHEESE.\u2014Dealers are awaiting the result of to-day's country boards.Some declare that prices will go lower than ever.while others seem to think that anything which is obtainable at 6c is not too dear.| Meantime 6% to 7c is the range for fodders on this market.Quite a little ship- Ping went on this week, but at what prices it is impossible to say.Private cables state that offers from this side have been made at 83s, c.l.f.London, which means around 6c to the exporter, ft is claimed, Receipts reported on the Board of Trade this morning amounted to 5,671 boxes.POTATOES.\u2014There would appear to bo something in the report mentioned yesterday that the market for potatoes had declired.One of the buyers who was unable to secure stock under $1 a bag of 90 lbs.yesterday, purchased at 95c this morning, and he was of the oplnion that the stock was fully as good as that offered yesterday.Another merchant was prepared to sell fine stock at 95c, car loads on track, so that it would seem as though $1 was a little out of line.Possibly it might be obtained for extra fancy stock, as there is practically none of that quality offering, and'it would doubtless bring a premium if obtainable.Shipments are still going on the United States, and there is little doubt that any easiness that may be in the market is only temporary, stocks throughout the country being so light BEANS.\u2014The market is dull and eagy, owing to some offerings of Inferior stock.Prime peas are $1.36 per bushel, in car lots, on track, and $1.40 to $1.45 for broken lots, in store.MAPLE SYRUP.\u2014 The market ls steady.Dealers are able to make about 51 to 6c for choice syrup in wood.and 6c in tins.Wine gallon tins bring 55c to

was to help to shorten they session.but in practice it was incumbent on the Premlar to see that the rule was adhered tr ax closely as pheeibla, Sir Wilfrid agreed that the criticism \u201cWas a sound one.but pleaded that in this experience exceptions had been made almost invariably in every ses- elon.Mr.McCarthy explained that the two bills which he wished to introduce were really of a very

the Gavernmen* to rls ston to this kind of dlaregard of the rights of the nenple.MR.POPE'S PROTEST.Mr.Pope expressed regret that the subject had been treated lightly by the Prime Minister.The railways of this country had been subsidized to the extent of 3237.000.000, and 62.000.000 acres \u2018of land.and he thought that the people were entitled to some consideration \u2018for this investment.What were the people getting ?The fact was that products from Chicago to Montreal were carried cheaper than to Montreal from some of the lake ports of Ontario.Mr.Pope thought it was time that that something was done to reform the system of granting railway charters in Canada.He favoured a system by which any man could register a com- y and build a railway where he llk- .od, provded he did ft with his own money.This would do away with the pystem by which charters were obtained for purposes of speculation without .any Intention of doing any work on them, a eystem which often had the effect of preventing development instead of helping it.As to the railway commission, the Government seemed to have little confidence in It, because the commission had given ole or twa decisions which the Gove ent had eversed.He protested against the a result of \u2018thel|y there was a rallway commission.He protested against the idea that under the temporary coadittons which had occurred the company should be permitted to rajse rates.A WESTERN ONTARIAN'S VIEW.Mr.Richardson, of South Grey, said that the service on the Grand Trunk had been bad coven before the exnep- tional conditions of the past winter had arisen.This he thought was a most inopportune time for raising rates, The Grand Trunk were putting themselves in the position of saying that when exceptional clrcumstances arose they would not consent to be the losers but would put it on the people.If they lost money through snow blockades they took It out of the people: if the Ontario Government raised the taxes on rallroads, the rallroads took it out of the people.These things created a feeling that the country was being dominated by the rallroads, a most unhappy and unfortunate feeling.Mr.Johnston, of Cardwell, thought that the members nf the Government should not try to hide behind the rall- way commission.He had not yet seen any benefit from that commission, except perhaps that It had enabled the Government to get along practically without a Minister of Railways.Mr.Johnston narrated some experiences of his own with the Grand Trunk which were extremely unsatisfactory in the matter of freight rater aud Jdelays in furnishing cars to ship stock.If a railway could in this way put its lnsses on the public the sooner the Government owned the rcads the better.He thought that if the present situation In Western Ontario was to be dealt with by the rallway comunission.the least the Government could do vas to see that the commission took it Up as soon as possible.A CHANCE FOR SIR RICHARD.Mr.Cochrane was sure that the Minister nf Trade and t\u2018oammerce would avail himself of this opportunity to do something for the poor farmer with whom he used to sympathize so much.This was certainly a case where the farmer was being bled white, and as Sir Richard had plenty of tirne on his hands he should look after them.Mr.Donnelly.of East Bruce.said that last winter was not by any means the first time when there was good ground to complain against the Grand Trunk.In his district not only had the people to pay high rates, but they had difficulty In getting cars within a reasorable time.The time tables, moreover, were a very .poor indication of when the trains would come along.Only occasionally the trains were on time.and as a result the people were kept hanging around and lost a great deal of time.This annoyance of late trains had been frequently brought to the attention of the railway officials and there has Leen some temporary improvement.but in a little while things got into the same old way again.Mr.Jabel Robinson agreed that this was an inopportune time for the Grand Trunk to fall foul of the people.He thought that under present circumstances when the Grand Trunk was asking so much from Canada the company would do well to think twice before angering the people by raising the freight rates.Mr.Lennox charged that througheut Ontario the Grand Trunk did not afford reasonable facilities for the transportation of produce.Not only was the service inadequate, but the rates were high.Mr.Lennox was also proceeding to make complaint against the rompany as to accidents on the line.but withheld his views on this subject In deference to the wishes of Mr.Speaker, who thought that it would be well to confine the discussion for the present to the question of freight rates.The Grand Trunk, said Mr.Lennox.was shouldering all its difficulties on to the shoulders of the people of Canada.There was a stringency in the money market and the company had to have better terms.Provillence sent a hard winter and the company raised its rates.Where was this thing going to stop?After some remarks by Mr.Ingram along the same lines the subjett was dropped.\u2019 THE G.T.P.IN COMMITTEE.The House then went into committee on the National Transcontinental Railway bill, Mr.Campbell, of West ork,\u201d being in the chair.as acting deputy Speaker.Mr.Borden, sald that the report of the proceedings at the meeting of the shareholders of the Grand Trunk Railway Company.which he and his friends had read to the House, had been referred to by one gentleman on the Government side as a fake report.This report, of which a copy had been sent by courtesy to the Government, was to all intents and purposes the same as a report of the Railway News.However, tn view of the insinuations which had been made against the report, he had thought It advisable to have it verified.Mr.Borden thereupon read the statutory declaration of Mr.Mills, the stenographer, who was present at the meeting and who took the report in question.Mr.Borden commented upon the lack of courtesy on the part of somebody in not furnishing the Opposition with copies of the so-called official report of the London meeting, issued by the Grand Trunk Rallway Company.Proceeding.he sald that he observed tn connection with the notices of amendments which the Opposition had handed to the \u201cGovernment, a newly established organ of the Government had said that the Opposition had fallen into a trap.He did not know where the trap was.Copies of these amend- -rte had been handed to the Government by courtesy, and he was prepared todo Ît again.But it was evident that one paper supporting the Government did not know much about courtesy.Proceeding, Mr.Borden said he did not care one snap about any trap.The amendments were handed to the Minister of Justice for the purpose of ex- vediiina business and he was prepared to do it again.Mr.Fitzpatrick sald it was getting down rather low to suggest anything in the nature of a trap.He acknowledged the courtesy of thé Opposition in this matter.He had been away for the last two days.but he had written to Mr.Barker that morning that the Government would accept some of the amendments, but others they could not.Sir Wilfrid Laurier also repudiated the statement of the paper.He sald he belleved the amendments were handed over in good faith and the Government accepted them In the same spirit.\u201c ++0+000 000000000 MR.BARKER'S AMENDMENT.Mr.Barker then moved the following amendment to section one of the bill: \u201cIt is hereby declared that the Intent and meaning of the agreement, a copy of which forma the schedule to the National Transcontinental Rall- way Act, was, and as modi- filed by the supplementary agreement, a copy of which forms a schedule to this Act, 1s, that the rolling stock in the twenty-second clause of the said original agreement mentioned, as the first equipment, shall be so acquired by the Pacific Company that an absolute and indefeasible Interest therein shall vest In the sald company subject only to the meveral mortgages referred to In clause thirty-five of the agreement, and free from any prior charge, rent, or interest whatsoever.whether as working expenditure or.otherwise.\u201d 0000000000000 000000000000000p00, +400.+004400000- got an absolute title to the rolling stock.If the $20,000,000 worth of rolling stock were not acquired by absolute title then the renial of the roli- Ing stock would be included In the working expenditure oun the eastern division.and this would be ahead of the mortgage.The Upposition had pressed this polit with all the energy Ît possessed luat session.but the Government pald no heed to it.There was an opportunity to clear up this point when the supplementary agreement was made, but the Government not too late, It would be a monstrous piece of carelessness to leave the matter sub- Ject to future litigation when a few words in the bill would make it quite clear that the rolling stock was not to be liable for Interest, rent, or any other charge, so that the Government would have an absolute mortgage on the whole $20,000,000 of it.If this was the bar- Quin, why not say so?Words should be put into the contract which would place the matter beyond all possible doubt.MR.BORDEN'S POINT.Mr.R.L.Borden suid that if the Graud Trunk understood this clause as the Government understood it.he could not see why they should hesitate to accept the amendment.Was it the tn- tention to leave the matter open 86 that afterwards the company could say: \u201cThis is our Interpretation af the contract, Unless you are prepared to construe it in that way.we do not propose to proceed further with the enterprise?\u201d Would the Government in thac case give in as it hud already given in with respect to other points?Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr.Fitzpatrick both argued at length that no amendment was required and that under the agreernent as It stood

Har the Government received directly, or through any of Its members, a copy of a resolution passed by le Chambre de Commerce du District de Montreal.with reference to the discussion by the public of the efirien-v of the harbour commission as it ls ut present organized, and which reads as follows : \u201cBe It resolved, that this Chambre is of opinion that it ix, at any cost.desirable to prevent the dally conflicts which arise between the Government and the commissioners, the effects of which conflicts are decidedly detrimental to the good work of this commission.as well as to the interests which have to be promoted.\u201cFurthermore.it 1s desirable that the organization ef aaid\u2019 harbour commis.| sion be amended so that the Government will reserve to itself the executive vower.\u201cOn the other hand.the adminisira- tive fun« tions should be left to cammis- sioners whose power and functions would be to put into forve the orders of the Government.and whose prinet- pal duty would he to advise the Government.\u2018In case of the reorganization of this commission along the lines suggested in this resolution, it is respectfully recommended to the Government that they adopt, in the nomination of these commissioners.the principles which have directed the Government up to the present time, that Is, to appoint for these duties representatives from commercial public bodies, who are more than anyone else.through their personal business experience, and their daily contas.with the most important and legitimate commercial element.best qualified to carry out the desires of the Government and advise upon the needs of the port.\u201cAnd in this matter this Chambre reaffirms its former opinion.as expressed in the resolution passed on the 2nd December, 1901, to the following effect: \u201cBe it resolved that the Government be asked to alter the conditions whirh now exist.relating to the harbour commission of Montreal, In order that the Government may assume all the executive power in regard to our nationh} port.in so far as the harbour commis: sion may be organized in an advisory capacity.clothed with certain diverse administrative powers.\u201d (2) If this resolution has in any way been called to the attention of the Government, is it their intention to take it Into their serious consideration, and act upon the suggestions contained therein ?.or RAPIOLY They Expect to Occupy the patkin\u2019s Forces.London, May 12.\u2014The St.Petersburg correspondent of the Telegraph says that all interest is centred in the Liao Tung peninsula, upon the west coast of which the Japanese are about to operate.Two divisions are presumed to have landed there already.General Oku's army will shortly number 30.000 men with 72 guns, while 30,000 more with 54 guns are ready to land at Thornton Bay, but will not be fully available before May 13.Hence, it Is believed that General Kuropatkin will attack General Oku before then and.hinder the Investment of Port Arthur.It is reported from Shanghai Kwan, that the Russlans still linger in the neighbourhood of Chwany and that some are even returning to ihe town.The Standard's Tien Tsin correspondent asserts that New Chwang has not been evacuated by the Russians.He says that they are shifting their guas, changing the disposition of theirs and removing certain belongings to Liao Yang.All the reports of engagements on land or sea have the slenderest, if any foundation.A despatch from Tokio says that after a brief intermission the despatch of large forces of troops and huge quantities of ammunition has commenced again.Thousands of men and tons of ammunition have been leaving Kobe during the lust few days.The arsenals are working night and day.WILL OCCUPY NEW CHWANG.Shanghai.May 12 \u2014 It is

Pelice Astonished at Sudden Disdppearance of Amundson.HOW HE CAME TO MONTREAL His Presence in Minnesota Necessary to Save His Property\u2014His Friends Anxious.Though the search is bv nov means given up.the menibers of Chlet Carpenter\u2019s force are completely mystified over the disappearance of the aged man, Amundson, who left Notre Dame Hospital on Monday under strange clir- cumstances, Rianted in Minnesota, where he has ve property.His signature is neces- ry at an early date In order that the perty may be in no danger of pass- into other hands.The police do not yet they have no ns to be seen.Amundson is a Swede.Last year he paid a visit to the home of his child- vod.In August last he landed in New ork on his way to Minnesota, and his via Montreal.He lives It is supposed that, with his mind =lightly upset by age and illness, he got an {dea that this was Grenwood «nd that he set off to walk home, a few miles north.Be that ad it may.there is a record of his having reached here in August.From that time until January 11 he was never \u2018seen or heard of.IN PITIABLE PLIGHT.On January 11, he was found in an unconscious condition near St.Julien.When he was brought into the Notre Dame Hospital, it was seen that his feet and a part of his legs were badly frozen, In order to save his life, 1t : became necessary to amputate a por- | tion of each foot.\u2018His feet were ac- | cordingly cut off at the instep, leaving Just the heels and back part of the.feet for the legs 10 rest upon.For weeks he lay between Hfe and death.When the newspapers told of his expected recovery and gave his name, which was obtained from papers he had in his pocket.the news went abouts.; A FRIEND SEEKS HIM.On Monday morning of this week, Theodore Thorson, sheriff of Pope county, Minn., arrived in Montreal for the purpose of taking the old man Lick.Not only {s he awaited anxiously by friends and relatives, but his presence may save his property if he gets back soon.The sheriff went to see him, and there was a gleam of recognition in the old tnan\u2019s face when he saw his friend of many years\u2019 standing.Mr.Thorson looked through Amund- son's pocket book and found a promissory note for $60 made by a man in Minnesota, near Amundson's home.Put Amundson's ticket was missing.Iie had it when he landed at the hospital, but it was gone ; and there is no explanation as to what has become of it, The sheriff told the authorities that he would return for the old man, so ++ to take the evening trulu for home.A icket was secured, and the officer reached the hospital only to be told that Amundson had dressed and gone awav.HOW DID HE DISAPPEAR ?How a sick man with only the stubs of his feet left could walk out of the building and disappear, so that all the rolice and detectives in the city cannot find him, 1s the mystery of police circles._\u2014_ ee __- - There are rumours that he was seen on St.James street and In the east.end; but there is no information on which reliance can be placed.: Amundson did not have a cent of money when he left the hospital and he has not a friend in the city.The few Swedish boarding houses have been visited but there Is no trace there of the missing man.There is a bellef In some quarters that Amundson has found his w to the river side and may have fallen into the water.But as It was daylight when he left the hospital, this dees not seem likelv.The United States consulate will be glad to get\u2019 word from anyone who may have the slightest information.Lecture on Venetian Art.\u201c Rev, W.S.Barnes lectured,last even- fug before the Woman's Art Association, his subject being Venetian Pictorial Art.Mr.Justice Archibald occu- pled the chair.A fashionable audience filled the new studio.The lecturer remarked that the Venetian school had been late in maturing, compared with the other Italian schools.It differed from the \u2018Florentine school, which was religious in tone and s~utiment.The Venetian was characterized by the sensuousness of its treatment.Venice imbued her artists with ove of colour.The setting of the city In a pale blue sea.the delicious and the gorgeous sunsets all conspired to implant the devotion to colour fin he heart and mind of the Venetian ar- st.Mr.Barnes {llustrated the several periods of Venetian art by pictures thrown on & screen.Three piano solos were rendered by Mrs.Richardson with exquisité taste.\u2018Transportation Banquet.The Government Transportation Commission will be the guests of the Chambre de Commerce at an early date.Two of the members have signified their intention of accepting the invitation tendered to them by the French-Canadian trade body.Owing to the absence of one member, Mr, E.C.tion has not yet been fixed, but it wiil probably
