firing on a train of wounded at Polandien, about forty miles north of Port Arthur, on May 6, has been proved to have no -foundation in fact.On the contrary.according to investigation by the military

army, numbering 10.000 -men, left Chinampo on 82 transports May 4 The soldiers were crowded on board the vessels in the closest manner, one ship having 8,800 men on board.The men were so closely packed between decks that exercise was impossible and very little air was obtainable.But, in spite of these discomforts, there was no grumbling.Every precaution was taken to prevent news of the departure of the army from leaking out.The residents of Chinampo were strictly disciplined and no one was allowed to enter or leave the town.Three Americans, however, succeeded in escaping from Chinampo Oh board a junk.Twelve days later they reached Chemulpo.\u2018The Russian Financial Situation.St.Petersburg, May 13, 8 a.m.\u2014The Official Messenger this morning ga- gettes a ukase from the Emperor and a notice from the Minister of Finance.with regard.to the issuance of bonds of the nominal value of $160,000,000, to run five years from May 14, 1904, bearing interest at 5 per cent, to be pald serni-annually.The bonds are to be of the denomination of $100 and $1,- 000, and are to be issued through the banks of Paris and the Netherlands, the Credit Lyonnais dnd Hottinguer & Company.at Paris.If further loans are floated before the bonds mature, it is stated that holders of these bonds will be given preference of subscription in such loans.An authorized statement accompanying the ukase says that the outbreak of the war * found Russian finances flourishing.There was an available surplus of $66,- 000,000, which was doubled by a reduction In the budget expenses, Alto- ther, the war found $150,000,000 in he exchequer, which wag considered to be Insufficient.Prudence dictated that early preparations be made to meet the heavy expenses.The Imperial Treasury had $422,500.000 gold tin reserve on May 5 to cover $322,500,- 000 paper In circulation, thus enabling Russia to issue another 250,000,000.This would have permitted her to meet the war expenditure without having vesort' to a foreign loan.but the Min- tater of Finance deemed it advisable to avold recourse to measures which, at- tractivelv simple.would yet be likely .to exhaust the last resources of the - .eountry, a step to be averted during ¢he war.The comparatively high per eent.is compensated for by the short- mess of the term of the bonds, which -NII enable the Russian Government to resort to conversion of them after five pears, when the present political din- guities are over.\u2018 A Russian Flanking Movement.Seoul, May 12.\u2014(Thursday, 6 p.m)\u2014 Pt is asserted here that the

BURLINGTON.A Policeman Shot Down by a Stranger\u2014Victim Died in the Ambulance.Special to the Montreal Star.Burlington, Vt.May 13.\u2014James P.MeGrath, a policeman doing duty in the lumber yards, was shot last night by a stranger and died about half an hour later, while being carried to his home at No.187 North Champlain street, in the ambulance.He did not speak after he was shot.The identity of the murderer is unknown, but he is believed by the police to be one of the deserters from Fort Ethan Allen.The shooting occurred at 7.20, and no definite clue to the murderer has been discovered, although a description of the man had been obtained and several men answering that description had been in an indefinite way associated with the affair.Frank Drake, a member of the 15th cavalry, was arrested several hours after the shooting and is held, pending an Investigation.He was closely questioned by the otli- cers, but nothing tending to connect him with the affair was obtained and the officers do not believe he is the murderer.The theory that is given the most credence by the police is that McGrath was shot by a deserter whom he was attempting to arrest, or by a friend of two men whom he arrested Wednesday night for desertion.BODY OF UNKNOWN FOUND AT CORNWALL.Special to the Montreal Star.Cornwall.May 13.\u2014 Early this morning the lockmen found the body of a man floating in

NOTES WITHIN EMPIRE Lord Stanley Has Proposed a Free Interchange to Colonies.THE TIMES ON CHAMBERLAIN Thunderer Admits There is No Doubt Britain is Losing Ground in Trade.Canadian Associated Press.London, May 13.\u2014The Times, referring to Chamberlain's warning in his speech at Birmingham, that Great Britain\u2019s commercial rivais are plying the Colonies with mutual preference schemes, says: \u201cThough Chamberlain may put the thing too high when saying that from being first among the commercial natfons, we have sunk to third place, there 18 no doubt that we are being pressed hard in the race and nothing but an increasing Colonlal trade can prevent us from feeling very painfully the shrinkage in our exports to foreign countries.\u201d THE LONDON STANDARD.The Standard, commenting on Mr.Chamberlain's speech, says: \u2018\u2019It would be more to the purpose if he would specify in precise terms the Colonial offers, to which he alludes, and let us know exactly what the colonists can and will give the inhabitants of these islands to compensate them for the increase in the price of food and most other articles of general consumption.\u201d PENNY POSTAGE.Lord Stanley, the Postmaster-Gen- eral, has intimated to the Australian Government that if they will ix a day for their adhesion to the scheme, he will at once establish a penny post from England to Australia.He has also proposed to the Colonies that postal orders should be interchangeable as between Great Britain and the Colonies.Many Colonies have already agreed.and it is trusted that most, if not all of the others, will see their way to coming into the agreement within a few months.\" MR.PRESTON 1S TIRED.Mr.W.T.R.Preston, the Canadian Commissioner of Immigration in London,

that a considerable body of the enemy continues to ocqupy Douanmy.Another detachment, conmiposed apparently of one battalion of infantry and half a squadron of cavalry, is situated about five miles north of Takushan.Other information indicates that on May 10 a Japanese force of 10,000 infantry, and 50 guns, chiefly mountain guns, halted for the day at Hung- Kiapusze and advanced on May 11 toward Siu-Yen.Another telegram says: \u201cOn May 4.some 60 Japanese transports and warships appeared at sea between Pit- sewo and Cape Terminal Detachments of sharpshooters were sent to reconnoitre and a

and if they are too convincing.to be replied to, it is a poor sort of a defence to cry out that he has special railway knowledge and thus knows what he is talking about.But being a Canadian Paciflc Railway man, they say, he is rure to be nustiie to the Grand Trunk Pacific bill.But he is also a Conservative member of Parliament, and all Conservative members are hostile to the bill.too.He would be hostile if he did not own a share of Canadian Pacific Railway stock.unless he was the only \u201choiter\u201d on his side of the House.But, being hostile because, as a follower of Mr.Itorden, he knows a better plan for building a new trans-continental railway, it is a good thing that he is also a Canadian Pacific Railway man, for that enables him to shed much more light upon the hidden weaknesses of the measure than he otherwise could.The latest attack upon him is in connection with his financing of a local road in the North-West.This is a repetition of an old attack, Mr.Osler having let the gas out of it before.But there are a certuin sort of politi vlans who always go upon the theory that if enough mud is thrown, some must stick: and they have begun throwing It again.Mr.Osler's explanation is perfectly straight, busi- uess-like and convineing.He took the road when its fortunes were low, and financed ft successfully with great dificulty.That is the whole story.Now every time a bridge on the road is washed away by a spring freshest, the Western Liberals seek to blame Mr.Osler for the catastrophe.The reason why this subject is brought up again just now, is obviously to endeavour to spike the Osler gun.That it will fall in this is certain.Mr.Osler will not be kept irom performing a duty by any fear of petty pérsonal annoyances.His informed criticisms of the Grand Trunk Pacific bill will continue: and the oniy way the Government can answer them is just to Fnsver them.They will never sand-bag the critic into silence.But It is not a pleasunt sight for the decent people in the country to see a buliying attack male in open Parliament upon a private member who has that of Russie.\u201d Had such a fat con- not provoked it ;

Some startling disclosures have been made by an examination of the methods employed to keep Guysboro.N.S.in the list of Liberal constituencies.The riding consists ¢ two municipalities, one of which is known as St.Mary's.In the recent by-election St.Mary's increased its Liberal majority by 77, although a smaller vote was polled.This led to enquiry.It appears that just previous to the election the names of 83 Conservatives had been cellberately and surreptitiously struck off the voters\u2019 list.It seems remarkable that this is possible In spite of the legal safeguards.Yet the scheme to defraud these electors was carefully planned.For Federal elections we now aocepl.the provincial lists, which are compiled from the municipal records.The Liberals in St.Mary's, therefore, got control of the municipal machinery.Then they excluded all Conservatives from the assessors and the Board of Revisers, who have to do with the preparation of the municipal lists.Without notice to the rties concerned, and without even post- g the preliminary lists, as required by law.the revisers struck off the names of 88 Conservatives whose qualifications for voting are undoubted.The thing was done s0 quietly that the by-election was on before the Imposition was discovered.Then it was too late to enforce a remedy by legal means.That the plot was deliberately laid can hardly be denied since only Conservatives wére made to suffer.and the whole business was done in the dark.The proceedings are po scandalous and so contrary to falmess that the exposure ought te\u201d be sufficient to effect punishment and redress.Yet the came is not an isolated one.It is merely a specimen of the means regularly used to prevent electors who are not servile to the Government from exercising the right of the franchise.We have seen in this province of late that the stuffing of the lists by parties who are not entitled to voté has become a Liberal fine art.Down by the sea the recognized method Is to lop off the names of citizens who are suspected of voting Conservative.The evil is enhanced by the system of adopting the provincial Ilsts for Federal purposes.It is an evil which Sir John A.Macdonald foresaw when he insisted.as he always did, that the Dominion liats should be: prepared independently of the provincial and the municipal authorities.Our present plan places a premium on the manipulation of the lists because the one fraud serves a political purpose both in provincial and Federal, contests.Cana- diana have much need tô Dé on the alert against the machinations of unscrupuious politicians.+ THANKS FOR FISH.\u2014The authorl- ties of the Notre Dame Hospital desire -

SUSPENDED Official ot Department and His Accounts.WILL BE NEW REGULATIONS Private Investigation to Be Conducted at Once by the Finance Committee.Treasures « was a decided sensation at the City Hall to-day when it was announc- that a collector of the City Trea- suret's department had been suspend- led because his accounts were found to be in au ynsatisfactory state.Speaking of the affair a member of the Finance Committee sald: \u201cI regret to say that the Finance Committee has again to suspend a collector whose collections are alleged to be incorrect.It seems most unfortunate that the city should have to suffer so much by employes whose services are not satisfactory to the corporation.\u201d Another official of the Finance de- paurtment said that during the past few Years the city had suffered constderable logs by employes who were allowed to collect civic moneys, for taxes, etc, and who had failed.for one reason or another.to make good to the corporation for the cash they had collected.said that it was the intention of the Finance Committee, in the near future.to introduce a motion which would make it impossible for employes of the | gan corporation to draw salaries from the city and also to get percentages on sums they collected from householders.It was pointed out that citizens who came to the City Hall, and paid their taxes.veca-loned no loss to the city; on the other hand.citizens who wquid not pay their water and business taxes, in the specified time, had collectors sent ufter them.These collectors had not only to be paid salaries, but they were also allowed a percentage on the amounts they collected.The trouble with such collectors was that they were in a position to hold on to civic funds for such a time as to lead to grave temptations and complications.During the past few years quite a number of collectors had not made proper returns to the corporation: the r sult had been disgrace to the collectors and loss of money to the city.As matters now stand a motion is to be made before the Finance Committee that collectors be not \u2018allowed, for any length of time.to Keep in their possession moneys collected for the corporation.In regard to the collector who is now in trouble with the corporation, it is pointed out that he has been in the civic employ for twelve years.His suspension has attracted much comment in clvic circles.The whole trouble is to be thoroughly discussed at a private meeting of the Finance Committee.HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN THE CAPITAL |= robbery in the -treets of of Canada seems out of century, vet

somewhat startling announcement, to the effect that the town of St.en has refused to make good the Interest on the ponds which the city of M real reeks ago took the respon sibility of floating for St Henri It having reached the ears of the Finance Committee that the city was tn a quandary in regar to the St.Henri bonds, an alderman waited upon the city treasurer to-day and asked him for an explanation with regard to he matter.The city treasurer explained that the town of St.nri had agreed to pa the city a certain amount, with the s of- Westmount and Cunegonde, for drainage which the city f Montreai had furnished the above municipalities.as agreed with the municipalities that hts the city would float a special loan, the outside municipalities would agree to pay the interest on the same.Upon this understanding the city of Montreal had floated the loan The venture h been demonstrated to be a wise one so far as the municipalities of Westmount and St.Cunegonde were concerned; on the other hand the city of St.Henri had notified the city to-day that it would not make the Interest on the bonds which had been floated, because the city of St.Henri contended that the city of Mont-

Annual Report.New York, May 13.\u2014The directors of the lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway have re-elected all the old officers, after hearing the report for the last year.The report showed that gross edrnings were $24.765.081, an Increase of $4,318,789, and pxpenses were $27.711,153, an Increase of 5.722.091, leaving net earnings of $7.066,926, a decrease of $1,- 403,208.The surplus for the years after payment of fixed charges and dividends, was $761,044, an Increase of 2.511,824.NN How little membership in the London Stuck Exchange amounts to, so far as it indicates financial ability, is well filus- trated in this excerpt from a London fi- uanctal newspaper: \u201cA short time ago, an authorized clerk, wishing to become a member, approached a jobber friend and asked lum to stand as one of his sureties.\u2018Delighted to help you, my dear boy,\u2019 replied his friend.\u2018but, really, I don\u2019t see how I can.Strictly between ourselves, I've got to the end of my téther.and, In fact, 1 can\u2019t pay my own sub.I've scraped together every penny I can and I''m still £5 short.\u2019 \u2018Well, if It's like that,\u2019 remarked the aspirant, generously, \u2018I'll lend you a fiver, and then you'll be free to guarantee me.So the bargain was struck.\u201d .The London Exchange is a proprietary {nstitutton to which practically any one is admitted who can find two sureties | for $1.500 each running for three.years.If the new member is still on his feet at the expiration of that time, further barking ls not required.An annual fee, relatively &mall, promptly pald, is all that 1s required to keep him in good standing.The fact is, membership in any of the Stock Exchanges of the smaller cities of the United States, to say nothing of Canada, is a better guarantee of financial responsibility than is afforded by membership in the London institution, notwithstanding that the British Capital is the money centre of the world.\u2014 Wall Street Summary.MUST MAINTAIN HONOUR OF STOCK EXCHANGE.H.K.Pomroy, elected president of the New York Stock Exchange, when installed in his new office, took occasion to refer in a brief speech to the crusade against bucket-shops.He spoke of the reports of improper methods of trading on the Stock Exchange that have been going around.and which the governors are now investigating.He sald he thought it best to admit at once that there were some black sheep even in the Stock Exchange, but the Exchange had always maintained a high standard of business honour and the governors would see to it that this standard was maintained.The membership of the Exchange, he added, was made up of men of high tone, and it was a great injustice to them that men who do not maintain the sama high standard had been able to come in.o as- soclation with them.He said that he pledged his earnest efforts, and that he knew the governors would pledge theirs, that the tone of the Exchange should not be lowered.BROKER

of providing that a majority of votes Of members present will be required in voting for aû- Journments.This will bar the casting of proxy votes.The annual meeting of the Exchange takes places this afternoon, and it is understood that it is the wish of the members that Mr.Charles Meredith, the president, retain that position for a third term.It Is considered provable that Mr.Andrew Wilson, the

Arrives.San Francisco, May 13.\u2014The steamship Barto Arrived here last night from the Orient with $2,250,000 Japanese gold un boar From advices received by the shipping men on the floor of the Board of Trade, it would appear that the water in Lake Superior is abnormally low for this season of the year, and as a consequence, the steamers out of Fort Willlam age not able to load their accustomed cargo.Ordinarily at this Beason vessels are able to load down to the 18-foot mark, but at present the best they can do is 17 feet.For instance, the steamer Midland King left Fort William with 170,000 bushels of grain on board, whereas last year the cargo was 185,000 bushels.The Ta- dousac, another of the Canadian vessels, left with 108,000 bushels of wheat In place of the ordinary load of 118,000 bushels.Should this low water continue, it will make a serious difference in the earning power of the Canadian fleet during the season.The tact that the Chicago pilots may go out in sympathy with the striking lake men fs creating not a little interest in this city.A prominent steamship man interested in the lake trade, stated on the floor of the Board of Trade today, that to his mind the law should interfere.Pilots who refused to take vessels into Chicago harbour ghould be held criminally responsible for any damage to the vessel and any loss of life which might result from these men refusing to do thelr duty.The refusal of these men to work was a very different matter from an ordinary \u2019longshoremen's strike.In the latter cas the vessel was left in.place of safety, while a lake steamer endeavouring to make a port like Chicago, perhaps in.the teeth of a gale, without a competent pilot, might mean the loss of much property and many lives.For the half year ending April Jmh, 1904, the Bank of Montreal made a clear $800,000 profit, after making the usual deductions.Of this amount it takes $700,000 to pay the five per cent.dividend for the half year.the remaining $100.000 going into the profit and loss column.Tt is announced that the C.P.R.wil} replace the wheat burned in their Fort William elevator in place of paying for the same, as is ordinarily the custom Some of the wheat contained in the elevator was not worth upward af 55 cents per bushel, being of a very low grade.The St.Lawrence has scored its first mishap of the season, the Black Diamond steamship Bonavista having been run into by a Government dredge oft Point St.Francis.At a banquet tendered to Mr.George Drummond and Mr.A.J.Hodgson in Liverpool, a few evenings ago, Sir Alfred Jones announced that he would arrange so that a certain quantity of cargo and some Canadians would be transported to South Africa free of charge, the idea being to foster trade between the two countries.As yet no particulars of the scheme have been received at the Montreal office of the Elder, Dempster Company.It je thought likely, however, that a small party, perhaps a dozen, will be organized for the trip.It 18 now definitely announced that the Transportation Company will sit in Montreal the latter part of the month, the exact date not having been decided upon.EASIER TONE IN TORONTO MARKET.Special to the Montreal Star.Toronto, May 13.-\u2014\u2014The Toronto stock market continued dull and uninterest- log to-day.The undertone was inclined to heaviness, but price changes were not important.Small buying demand was in evidence, but selling pressure also was.absent.Accompanying the late spurt, much was heard of renewed investment buying.but by many this was regarded with scepticism, as lower selling prices have not been met with buying demand.J.0cal brokers\u2019 offices to-day had few customers and little interest was apparently taken in the course of the market.Twin City was easy, offering at 94 3-4.C.P.R.sold early unchanged at 118 5-8 for 10 shares, but shortly after brought 116 7-8 for 600, Coal opened slightly easier, selling at 66 for 150 shares, with more offered at 66 1-4.Nova Scotia steel sold at 76 1-4 for two 25 share lots.Dominion Steel was offered at 1! 1-2 and bonds at 65.The preferred sold at 33 3-4 for 25 shares.« The forenoon transactions were: Ontario Bank, 30 at 129 1-2 Dominion Bank, 18 at 226 7-8 Bank of Hamilton, 45 at 211 1-4 to 212 Traders\u2019 Bank, 12 at 139 1-2, Dominion Steel, 50 at 11 1-2.Dominion Steel preferred, 25 at 32 3-4.Sao

Companies makes the following statement to the Wall Street Journal of the amount of the stocks of the companies now held in Canada: \u201cWhile five years ago fully one half of the stock of the present Mackay Companies was held in Canada.at the present time not more than one-third of the stock at the very most is held here.It is held by between 400 and 500 people living in different parts of Canada, all the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific.Unlike most stocks it is nearly all held for investment.and I do not think there are 500 shares held by Canadians that could be secured in the open mar- et.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 New York Exchange Officers.The annual election for officers of the New York Stock Exchange resulted as follows: H.KX.Pomroy, of Pomroy Brothers, succeeds R.H.Thomas as president, and F.W.Gilley and William McClure are re-elected respectively treasurer and secretary.Mr.Thomas takes the place of Mr.Pomroy as a member of the \u2018governing committee, which body now contains four ex-presidents of the exchange \u2014R.H.Thomas.Rudolph Keppler, Francis L Eames and F.K.Sturgis.Another ex-president, Willam I.Bull, was reelected a triistes of gratuity fund, to serve five years.The Quif Report.iy ees $i pn 13 \u2014 Weather general- ; cloudiness at ; wind variable some points Point\u2014Inward at 4.50 a m., Buenos Ayrean; 750 a.m., a

TO-DAY.Butter Was Rather Easy \u2014 Egg Market Holds Firm\u2014Potatoes 8how Little Change.Several reports of a discouraging nature $ave been received from ES oun- ate re 1 the herbage.Sarding the appearance of A ride or drive In the vicinity of Montreal would indicate anything but a poor growth of grass, and a merchant who has recently driven about a hundred miles through Eastern Ontario states that he never saw the country looking more promising at this time of year.The most of the farmers are busy seeding and the present warm, dry weather is just what is needed to facilitate their work.However, the grass will soon need a little more rain; in fact, it would be none the worse for some at any time now.A Ntue more moisture would make the whole country very luxuriant and bring the growth on rapidly.EGGS.\u2014There seems to be a strong effort being made to keep prices down, but, according to advices from the country, it is a failure.A reliable merchant stated to-day that he himself had seen Montreal buyers paying as high as like in the country yesterday\u2014lowest freights to Montreal.Other advices would go to show that the eggs purchased early this week in the country would not be laid down here to sell at anything less than 16c.and that the bulk of the stock purchased since Wednesday would not be sold at that figure even.Notwithstanding this, dealers were able to make purchases of stralght stock here to-day at 150, i though others were demanding 15%a and receiving it for\u201925 and 30 case lots.In \"fact, some merchants were trying very hard to get 15Kc, but they could not get it; buyers did not want to talk to anyone over the quarter.We quote 15 to 15% c.Other reports might be men- ticned of sales at very high prices, but sufficient has been said to show how the market stands.Receipts reported on the Board of Trade this morning amounted to 412 cases by G.TR.BUTTER\u2014The market appeared to be rather lower to-day.Some merchants claimed that they could no longer obtain 13%c for finest creameries, 15¢ being the limit that anyone would pay them.Others stated that they have been able to buy as fine butter as anyone woyld wish to eat at 15c,/ but they seemed to hesitate to say that they could get the fancy Roods at that figure.On the whole, there seems every reason to believe that 16c represents a fair price for real®y fine stock here to-day.What the future may bring forth no one can say.Receipts reported on the Board of Trade this morning amounted to 182 packeages by G.T.R.» CHEESE The market was about steady in the country yesterday, sales of finest western fodders taking place on country boards at 6% to é%c.Buvers, therefore, did not succeed in getting sellers down quite as low as they hoped, although sellers generally considered this figure low enough.This puts cheese on a basis of about 7c here; some might be had at a shade less.The Liverpool public cable was steady to-day at 40s to 42s.Receipts reported on the Board of Trade this morning amounted to 1,142 | boxes by G.T.R.b FOTATOES8\u2014The market was about steady at yesterday's figures.A carload of mood red stock was offered here this morning at 9c per bag of 9 lbs.on track.end another car of really fine quality was bought at 95c.At the same time, the undertone was firm, and a buyer who has been out through the {ecuntry -jately.reported- that he could only show one solitary carload for his trip.So that there would seem to be very little reason to fear a decline.PEANS\u2014The market is dull and easy, owing th some offerings of inferior stock.Prime peas are $1.35 per bushel.in car lots, on track.and $1.40 to $1.45 for broken lots, In store.MAPLE SYRUP \u2014 The market is rteady.Dealers are able to make about 6% to 6c for choice syrup In wood.and 6c in tins.Wine gallon tins bring 55¢ to 65c, and sugar § to 6% or 7c, the latter for pure fresh goods.CHEESE BOARDS WERE ABOUT STEADY.Stratford, Ont., May 13.\u2014The dairy industry in this district and in Woodstock is very backward.Many patrons are not sending their milk to factories at all, because they find it more profitable to feed the milk to their calves.As a result of this and other causes, the make is about two-thirds of what it was during the first half of May last year in the Woodstock district, and scarcely one-half of what it was in the Stratford section.Many factories in this district were foolish enough to hold their old stock until March.They got out at 10e, and may consider themselves lucky for doing so well.To date there has been scarcely 30 per cent.of cheese marketed that there were a year ago.Brockville, May 13 \u2014The offerings totalled 1,274, of which 770 were coloured\u201d and 501 white.The bfdding was dull and inactive.Mr.Davis opened with 6K tHintine, raining Addrema Kraisberg Abramovice, 107 8t.Urbain street.112 +4 WANTED BY MECHANIC BOILER FIRing, attending engine or handy man, repairing machinery,

in Battle.» Special to The Montreal Star.Quebec, May 18\u2014In order to finish the proceedings the Synod of Montreal and Ottawa continued from half past nine in the forenoon without a break into the afternoon of Thursday.The Kinnear's Mille matter cama up again.The Presbytery of Quebec at meetings held between the sederunts of Synod concluded finally by a unanimous vote that ft would not bé proper to give sanction to the call by the Kinnear's Mills congregation to the Rev.J.M.Whitelaw.The representatives of the congregation brought in an appeal from this decision of (he Presbytery to the Synod, and the Synod dealt with the matter.THE REASONS FOR APPEAL.The parties having been called to the bar the reasons for appeal were given by Mr.Andrew Mofratt, the spokesman for the appellants.He was complimented afterwards by the court for the calm and sympathetic manner in which he conducted himself and his utterances.Mr.Moffatt proceeded to state that Mr.Whitelaw had laboured among them for thirteen years, that during these years over flve hundred members had been received into the membership of the church on profession of faith.He admitted that there had been dissatisfaction in the church, yet, although the Protestant population is diminishing in that section of the Province, the numbers signing this call both in membership and adherents {s larger than the number signing thirteen years ago.and the money assurances for the malntainence of the ministry greater.The appellant said that he tpoke with à Knowledge of the needs of the community and with the belief Mr.Whitelaw is the only man known to him now who could fill the requirements under existing circumstances.He referred to the history of the pakt three years and the unfortunate incident that led to the dissolution of the pastoral tie a year ago.Adverting to the feeling that if Mr.Whitelaw wouid resign the charge the Leeds congregation would soon be no more, Mr.Moffatt said that the breach is wider to-day than ever, and the danger of new differences and divisions is magnified by a refusal to give sanction to this call.I 7 THE PRESBYTERY'S STATEMENT.Rev.Dr.Keliock, Rev.Mr.Shearer, of Sherbrooke.and Rev.Mr.McQueen spoke in turn for the Presbytery.They were all temperate in remarks and sympathetic towards the congregation.At the same time they do not eritertain the view that the return of Mr.White- law would do what the appellants anticipated.There were graver divisions in the field at present.There ar¢ irregularities abeut the call, the mem- hers signing the call are but a minority of the membership in the charge, and ft is recognized by the Presbytery that in calling a minister there should be an adaptation between the minister called and the people conc 2rned in the ministry of the man coming to them.This adaptation seemed to be wanting in this case.The sanctioning of an enforced pastorate would be a mistake.One of the Prestiytery representatives stated that it vas not according to Old Testament, New Testament or Reformation principles for dissatisfied people to withdraw from the church, and he urzed that every means sheuld be exhausted to heal the breach that now exist.d.It was further stated that the relations between Mr.White- law and his Western people were cordial, and that it would not be right to disturb these relations.THE FINDING OF THE SYNOD.The finaliig of the Synod on the matter was as follows: The Synod, hav- Ing heard the appeal and the parties on both sides, feel constrained to dismiss the appeal made by the parties appointed to support the call of the congregation of Leeds, to Rev.J.M.Whitelaw.and sustains the unanimous finding vt the Presbytery of Quebec.The Synod would at the same time express its deep sympathy with the congregation of Leeds under the circumstances, and its earnest concern for the velfare of the congregation in view of thé unhappy divisions which have arisen.The Synod approves of the Presbytery to appoint a committee te visit the congregation and confer with all norties with a view of restoring harmony.expressing the hope that Mr.Whitelaw will discourage any action that will tend to perpetuate the existing divisions.The committee appointed consisted of Rev.Dr.Mowat, Rev.F.M.Dewey, ministers, and Messrs.James Roes and A.C.H.Chisholm, élders.Four mernbers of the Legislative Council of Quebec, who came to visit the Synod during.its proceedings, were Invited to a seat on the platform and a like courtesy was extended to a visiting doctor.who came in at a subsequent session of the proceedings.* MESSAGE TO THE SESSIONS.One of the most important subjects brought before the Synod for treatment was the report upon church life and work.Various phases of the report were spoken to by members of the Synod.Prof.Ross.who had charge of the report.divided his matter into two parts, each having a claim upon one of the two sederunts upon which #t was considered.The mind of the Synod on the matter as a whole ia summed up in the æecompanying resolutions which were ordered upon the record: That sessions be encouraged to continue their earnest efforts for the promotion of temperance by special teaching from the pulpit and the Sunday Schoo! by pledging the young and by opposing In all ways the granting of licenses in order that the temptation to Intemperance may be lessened; that sessions be counselled to authorize thelr ccngregations 30 as to afford channels of service for all the members and to adapt existing organizations as closely ag possible to the needs of the communion, and thus, If posaible, Increase their efficiency: that ministers be advised to study a wige adaptation of CHEMISTS find Cook's Friend Baking powder pure.DOCTORS \u2019 pronounce it

suggesied that they confer privately with the members of session and other mature and godly persons in the congregation regarding the most timely truth for it; that pastors be recommended to present modern uapects of Christian evidences in their Bible classes and other meetings where discussion is possible; that sessions keep tn close touch \u2018with the spiritual life of their people, so that, when the time seems ripe and opportune, special services may be held in which the truths of the Gaspel may be continuously emphasized and pressed home upon the minds of both Christians and those who have made no profession.Rev.Mr, Heine, in the report on obituaries, added three names from the departures since last Synod.The lumbermen's work was examined through a report handed in by Dr.Armstrong, of Ottawa, and the work of French .evangelization was encouragingly spoken of by Dr.Mowat, \u2018of Montreal.The treasury of the Synod was found to be in a healthy condition.Dr.Thompson.the friend of the Chinese, spoke to the Court for a short time upon work among the Orientals in Montreal and vicinity.MEMORIAL IN SOUTH AFRICA.The Synod expressed itself as favourable to the erection of a church in Pre- torla as a memorial to the fallen soldiers in the South African war.After attention had been given to certain {tems whith were of minor importance, it was moved by Rev.À.H.Scott.of Perth, and Rev.C.B.Ross, of La- chine, that to the people of the Ancient Capital were due the heartiest acknow- led nts of the Synod for their courteous attentions, while the ministers and elders were in the city attending to their duties throughout the thirtieth meeting of this court of the church.The press.the railway and the steams.ship companies were remembered in the resolution of thanks.THE NEXT SESSION.Vankleek Hill has been selected aa the place for holding the Synod next year, the invitation presented by the ministers of that place having been accepted by the Court just before the proceedings terminated.CHILD'S BODY FOUND IN CHIMNEY, New York Police are Working oa the Mystery\u2014Was it Murder ?New York, May 13.\u2014The police re port that the body of six year old Josephine McCahill, who has been missing since May 2, was found last night, wrapped in rags, in a chimney at her home, in Third avenue, this city.The body was lodged near the top of the chimney, and it was necessary to tear away part of the masonry to release it.It is thought that the body, which was terribly cut up and mutilated, was placed there within a day or two.It was believed that the child hud been kidnapped and the case had aroused niuch interest here.Rewards aggregating $3,850 have been offered by various persons for her recovery in case it could be discovered thattsne had been kidnapped, and mass meetings have been held to consider plans for conducting a search.To-day a letier was received by Mra.McCahlll, the child's mother, which read: \u201cMay 9, 1808.\u2018Dear Friend\u2014As you made such a fuss I was compelled to kill Josie.1f you give $500 to a boy I will send yoy word where vou can find the body.Don't mind stories you The police considered this letter as the work of some heartless meddier.The child was,seen in Third avenue with a man described as -:tall and dark.She had a bag of candy in her hand, but was crying.That !s all the police have had to work on.Their search has proceeded on the belief thut the man was an Italian, and that the girl would eventually be found in 2a of the Italian colonies in this city or in some nearby city.Au examination of the body.later disclosed the fact that it was badly decomposed but that it had rot been mutilated.Jt has been learned that he children of the neighbourhood have been accustomed to hide in the chimneys while at play on .the roofs and the police now believe that the M-:- Cahill girl climbed inte the chimney, which rose only four or five above the roof and fell into it.A strange feature of the case in be ing investigated by the police, ale though they do not believe the child was murdered.Twice yesterday, ba- fore the body was found, a well dresse ed young woman called at the Mc- Cahill home and sajd that she had a presentment that the child would Ve found In the chimney.On her second visit she expressed surprise that a search of the chimney had not best made on her previous suggestion.the refused to give her name or address and the police are now trying to find her.It was after her second visit that the investigation was made whith res suited in the finding of the body.- Indiana Solid for

known aeronaut, Captain Surcour.came down in the Place D'Aumesnil yesterday, and the wind drove it Into the narrow entrance of a street.A moment later it came in contact with the side of a house.A flame issued from the envelope and then a violent explosion followed, the sheets of flame from which penetrated the open windows of the building.Eight occupants of the house were burnt or otherwise

Canada\u2019s - best salt works can produce,.and that\u2019s the tion could they have than to unite the Empire.They must have federation of sister states or sink ta po account An the history of the etre rising blonies would not hang for ever on the skirts of their inddtision.The great Colonies had decided by unanimous voice that the question of union could best be approached on the commercial side.They had made concessions.They were ready to make more He would not call them sacrifices, because they were mutually beneficial, in order to secure a self-sustaining Empire, interchanging prodic¢ts more freely, strengthening by ties the in- forest gnd sympathies already existing a paving the way for a consummation of THE HIGHEST IDEAL which a nation can reach, that of evolving from a loose assemblage of several states a great Imperial organization, preserving for all ita members local independence, but united against all the world when the interests or honour of any of its members are attacked.He was at a loss to understand how the Duke of Devonshire and Lord Rosebery could treat the offer of the Colonies as not existing and doubting its good faith.They went about assuring their countrymen that the Colonies would give them nothing worthy of acceptance, and, on the other hand, demanding a sacrifice they could not afford to make.If any reasonable proof they could ask was afforded these statesmen would they then give favourable consideration to these proposals for preferential mutual trade within the Empire, and authorize whatever government of the day to enter into negotiations with the Colonies to secure the great object?INVITED TO THE COLONIES.He had received within recent \u2018events invitations from the Government of Australia and important representative organizations in Canada to vist them, but he replied that he must convince his own people first.When the mandate was giveh he or another would go to Canada and Australia and claim from them the same patriotism found in England and they would unite the Empire.He wanted to arrange taxation so as to promote a freer exchange among their people, He would prefer to take everything from their own Empire, which would produce everything at as low a price as anywhere else, rather than take it from any other nation, however friendly.BRITAIN'S SAFEGUARD.Trade with foreign countries was falling off and disaster was only staved off by the increase of trade with the Colonies.The decline in trade with foreign countries was certain to continue, the increase with the Colonies would not continue.The policy of mutual preference alone would keep good-will, full sympathy and present a large proportion of trade with their Colonial brethren.He wished free trade statesmen would declare defini tely what assurance they had either from the Government, Legislature, or individuals in the Colonies, that their children across the seas did not earnestly and unselfishly desire closer union.Could a referendum be taken in Great Britain, he believed a large majority would favour his proposals.EXCLUDED COLOURED BARTENDERS.Rochester, N.Y., May 13.\u2014The delegates to the convention of the Hotel and

and Hayes factions of the Knights of Labour was decided yesterday in favour of the former by Justice Anderson, of the District Equity Court.The decision declares Henry A.Hicks and Simon Burns successively general! masters workmen, to have been the legal and proper officers of the order, and in a sweeping way upholds their contentions.Justice Anderson holds that Hicks was not lawfully expelled .from the order.The District Court that tried Hicks, Judge Anderson .held, was an lllegally constituted tribunal.and even if it had been legally constituted was without jurisdiction.He sald further that .Hicks not only was a member of the Knights of Labour Incorporated, but was Îts general master workman at the time of the meeting of the general assembly of the ordér at Niagara Falls in November, 1902, and as such was the only proper person to preside over its deliberations.The delegates constituting that assembly, he held, .had a right to sit as Knights of Labour delegates and were actuated by good faith, and they.with:those who were admitted to the floor of the assembly subsequent to the preliminary organization constituted the-.lawlul general assembly of the Order of the Knights of Labour, incorporated at the Nlagara Falls meeting.The court, after granting the prayers of the complainants, said it refrained from considering the personal conduct of:the members of the order, although it added : \u201cThere is much to criticize in the conduct of certain persons connected with each side, and running all through the history of the order are found those who have shown
