polish Jews, and hangers-on, engaged in the illicit liquor traffic are Songregating at Lorenzo Marques with the intention of invading Johannes burg at the first opportunity.A trustworthy informant who

-Carter\u2019s Little Liver Pills.Must Bear Signature of LONDON, April 4\" There is little fresh news from the seat of war to-day, and the fine, discriminating hand of the censor is distinctly traceable in what does get through.Gen.Colville and-Gen.French have apparently given up the movement against the crs east of Bloemfontein, and have re: joined the main army.It doubtless seemed to Lord Roberts as useless to send some 10,000 of his best troops into the wilderness with a field transport in the direction of a right angle with his chosen line of advance.The Boers have probably moved elsewhere and if to the south-west, General Colville could as easily strike them from Bloemfontein by following them up across the plains.These inferences still leave the situation bewildering for the time being.THE KOHRN SPRUIT DISASTER.- Long detailed accounts of the Kohrn Spruit disaster are coming in, and show strikingly, on the one land, the skilful dar ing of the Boer tactics, combined with a humane endeavour to induce the convoy to surrender without needless slaughter, and on the other hand scornful contempt ot death and injury on the part of the British, entrapped force, The British infantry of the Ninth Division (including the Canadians), which saved Col.Broadwood\u2019s force from annihilation, withdrew Monday to Springtield Farm.eight miles from Bloemfontein, abandoning the position along the Modder river winch they occupied Saturday.lle present position of General French's command, which went to the east to support the Ninth Division, is unknown.There ig a rumour that it was overtaken and seriously defeated by the Boers, but this is not contirmed.GUNS NOT YET RECOVERED.The report that some of the British guns had been recovered is inaccurate.Equally untrue are the stories circulated to the effect that the Boers shot .prisoners.\u2018fhe Morning Post's correspondent at Bloemfontein, denying the latter assertion, writes that in the confusion, firing proceeded from all directions.The Boers northmost of the spruit tired on the convoy, among which were some of their own men, inextricably mixed With the British.The captured British, créeping under the waggons, recovered their arms and fired on their captors.Discrimination was impossible.According to the latest reports the Boers to the east and south-east of Bloemfontein number from 7,000 to 10,000.\u2018they have more guns than\u201d they had in any recent action, including some long Tange Creusots.A large body is reported to moving \u2018to the southwest to threaten the railway.- _ Jord

appear- THE POLICY OF CONCENTRATION.The tenor of the latest despatches leads to the conclusion that Lord Roberts intends to bring the campaign to as speedy an end as possible, and to that end is determined to move only when every detail of preparation is perfect.The first result is to be seen in the policy of concentration that has been adopted and the subordination of the whole force under, Lord Roberts to one object-the capture of investment of Pretoria, which, opce effected, all the rest, so far as Natal and the western country are concerned, follows.It is true that the approaching season is unfavourable for active operations and that the winter equipment for the British troops is only now leaving England.The political outlook, however, is such that the British Government desires an early termination of the war in order that a part, if not the whole of the army now in the field in South Africa may be available for- service elsewhere, and so the advance will be pressed in the best way possible under the circumstances, The first step to be taken, looking to the end in view, is said to be the abandonment of the turning operations on an extended plan that were originally contemplated on the east and west, and the bringing about the junction of the armies in the Free State and Natal.A strong column, it is stated, will be\u2019 directed on Bethlehem, the Free State terminus of the railway from Lady- smith through the Van Reenens Pass.By this manoeuvre the passes to the north and south of Van Reenens would be taken in reverse and the junetion of Gen.Buller with Lord Roberts would be effected.Axo HER PARALLEL ADVANCE.A parallel advance to the Vaal from Beth Frankfort and Yiliersdorpl while Lord best moved vr the railway would bring Gen.Buller to the northwest of Standerton on the railway between Laing\u2019s Nek and Johannesburg, and all the south-eastern Transvaal would be cut off from Pretoria, while the crossing of the Vaal at Viljoens Drift would bé turned and opened for the advance by the railway.Such is the plan now said to be adopted, _and looking at the strength of the force Lord Roberts will handle in carrying it out, it is hard to see how the Boers can long retain their hold on the nerthern part of the Tree State, difficult though the country is for an anny of mixed co ition acting ant one entirely mounted e the Boers are not jnsctive, for \u201cthey have aseambled à sipong ree at ao ocoesrand north of the M force near Paardeberg, directly south of Boshof: and the commandos from the south, the whereabout of which appear to

and as soon as certain Nationgl League men got hold of the facts it is believed that there wus a prompt investigation.Treasurer Abell, when informed of the matter.wired several League magnates that the Rrooklyn club had abmolutely nothing whatever to # 4 do with the application, and that Ebbets, Simpson & Co.were taknz the rak of their own accord.As the magnates have ; grown tn be suspicious of

trek.One would suppose from the immense pumber of houses to let that three quarters of the population of Montreal was going to emigrate and that the second of May will not find anythiag but policemen\u2019 and government of officials left in the city.Where is eve rybody going?Various explanations are offered\u2019 for the unprecedented number of hounds to let.Streets in every part of re and suburbs are simply snowed oie with to let signs.There is no doubt that the rapid building up of the suburbs is drawing many people away from the more city streets, which accounts to some: extent, for some of the houses the.landlords have upon their hands.The owners of dwellings which had fallen into bad repair now find themselves obliged to loosen their purse strings and modernize sgch establishments, to keep in the swim af all.In rome Instances new walls are being built around old interiors.and in other cases new interiors are nestling covly in the embrace of old walls.The ruperior- ity of the modern dwellings in Montreal are among the decided marks of improve ment.Handsome, indeed nalatial meciden- tin] flats, or apartment hotels, are becoming a featgre in is city and po doubt po- ularly of muéh places is among the causes ere being #0 many houses to let.When those who have been acenstomed to ritg-up in the chilly hours of the morn ana week the coal hin and carry out ashes.during the frequent occasions when the absent servant girl trouble was acute, revel in such Juxurv as apartments heated by the landlord.In view of the good rhargeter of the accommodation nffered, the dav the distinct separate house.even in the ru burbs,\u2018 ie passing away.Houses built in two or three flats, with approved modern ron- veniences are those which command readiest attention.The old self-contained dwellings,\u201d with shabby dark bath rooms, and kitchens in damp basements, are getting decidedly out of the race and those whirh are not -heing modernized arr being knocked into shops, or business premises, Montreal landlords cannot he acensed of being extortionate.Tenants who take the traubla to look about them certainly do not- need _to \u2018be vittimized if thew have an objectionable Jandlord, or ugdesirable quar- of ers.Some people move out from the smoky, noisy city streets and go into the new sections where green fields with real grass in them greet the cye, and where the breezes reach the nostrils, laden with the fragrance of wild flowers and foliage of forest.trees.Some continue to feel delight at the change.Others find themselves walking \u201cup and down a green lane for minutes that -lseem hours, waiting for a street ear in the morning, and in disgust start to walk in, only to be overtaken after halfgan hour's toil by the car filled with smiling happy- faced ruralites who know what it is to »0ssess their souls in patience.Then those balmy breezes are not 80 balmy and do not waft anything but snow and frost, when the winter comes on, and:snow and s}ush cover those green fields.People who allow themselves to dwell too much upon this Jittle reverse ride of the shield, move back into the city and there is one more \u201cto let\u201d sign in the suburbs and one less in town.While the new houses in the suburbs and the building of - apartment hotels - has ins creased, the number of dwellings offered to rent this year, the unprecedented number own is doubtless due fo the fact that the spring has been unusually late and people do not realize how near they are to movi e deep snow and bad roads, the cold weather, have prevented honse-hunting being as popular na of yore.The chronic house-hunter, the being who gives notice every February and gets the landlord to permit ite withdrawal in April, has not had as pleasant

Papers Read Before the Graduates of Presbyterian College To-day.USE OF THE LEAFLET WAS DEPRECATED AS TENDING TO SUPERSEDE BIBLE.\u201cFirst steps in religious training\u201d was the subject of an exhaustive paper read before the graduates of the Presbyterian College yesterday bv the Rev.R.D.er, of Frase Toronto.The speaker went fully into his subject; religious training in the chureh, the Sunday School and the home bein emphasized in tam, At the close of his ro.marks, a discussion took place, participated \u2018in by the Rev.Principal MacV Vicar, Rev.Professor Scrimger, Rev.Messrs.Reed, Ben- net, Fraser and others.Dr.MacVicar thought that people nowadays too prone to underestimate the intelligence of children.And for that reason the church wus losing.its hold upon the young.It was very bard, he knew, to interest the young in matters of reli on, but it did not use to be so.It wan a difficult matter to know how to reach them.Two methods had been suggested, namely: by preaching special\u2019 sermons to the young, or by setting apart a day on which special children s servioes roight take the place of the regular church services.Both plans were good in their way.In the rush and bustle of the present day the average minister had just half an hour twice each Sabbath to set before his congregation the truths of the gospel.In view of this condition of things it was a wonder to him (Dr.MacVicar) that the people knew as much abeut religion and the Bible He was in favour of introduc religious instruction in the whole of our \u2018educational institutions.The Bible shéuld be taught in the schools ax the word | of God, and not, as was too frequently the | ca \"05.literature.Rev.Mr.Bennet deprecated the use of lesson lenfs in the Subtath School az, to his personal knowledge, | had in a great many instances tole the Bible.ne result of their presence in the school, had becn to drive out the Bibles, and the custom now was for both teachers and Bible to go to the school without the ible under their arms as in the days gone Mr.Bennet said the scholars of to-day re in a large measure totally in the dar! a9 to the identity < of the writers of the books of the Bible.He said that he had once heard a superintendent ask his pupils to to ive the ame of the person who wrote enigis, One of the latter at ance replied, \u201cMr.Copk.\u201d Mr.Mr.nnet explained, was the author of the lesson leafe.Mr.Bennet concluded by maki the statement that in not only Sunday Schools in this country could no Bibles found, but that in several churches, ss well, the only copy of the Holy Scriptures was the one that reposed on the pulpit desk.In a great many homes that he had visited not a solitary copy of the Bible could be found.The Bible was becoming a disused book.Rev.Mr.Fraser did not agree with this view of the case, but showed that the cir culation of the Bible was yearly increasing.et pn ns IMPROVEMENTS AT THE

expressed the opinion that\" any demand made by the colonies.just now would receive a favourable reply from Parliament; and stated his belief that the only form of fiscal unfon that would meet with \u2018the slightest favonr would be free trade within the Empire with latices against strangers.In conclusion, My Chamberlain \"remarked that any ruggestion must origin ate with the colonies;

for to ite folly in refusing to go on witif the ac- rangement mado by the Conservative Government of Sir Mackenzie Bowell do we owe the fact that this Pacific cable en¥er- prise is stil an open question.tnt, A SANITARIUM FOR CONSUMP- 1 1b ia a curious fact thet in Montreal and Toronto at the same time propowsls should be made to establish consumption sanitariums close to the parks of the people.In Montreal two proposals have been made.One is that about ten acres of Fletcher's Field should be given to the Hotel Dieu Hospital in order that special accommods- tion may be provided for consumptives.The other is that a sahitarhmn for consumptives should be established on the top of Mount Royal.In Toronto it is proposed to construct a sanifarium for conmumptives in Moore's Pirk close to the reservoir, from which the city is supplied with water.The sity of Toronto is pe grunt a eum of money to aid in out the project.AN: sueb projects to eslablidh ssnitariums for comsumptives in or closs to the parks of | the people should be rejected.Consumption ie am infectious digense, and yet it is important thek the: patients ehould- be in the apéd air as mich as possible.The preper location for a consumptive sanitarium is outaide of\u201d the city altogether, where the patients will be free to roam in the open air without danger to the health of other people., 1 THE GERMAN AGRARIANS There appears to be quite a probability that Germany will go in for protection on the products of her farms.The Agrarian party, which is thought strong enough to have its way when it is united ahd insist ent, demands something of this character in order that agrieulturs may het be ruined within the Empire; and the Emperor poeds the support of the Agrarians to carry his- Naval Bill.This -is the combination which threatens to carry sn Agrarian po- jicy over the opposition of the towns and the commercial classes\u2014the latier fearing especially the retaliation which the exclusion of American meats and other foods is likely to draw down upon German exports.The situation of Gemany is very different from that of Britain which could include a vast colonial Empire, within the rjng fence of such a tariff, thus building up the colonies and gaining eventually cheap food by levying such a tariff upon the food stuffs of the rest of the world.But, with Germany, an Agrarian peliey will mean that German acres must feed the German people; and yet it is to be noted that the German people, with all their industrial and commercial success and ambition, is think- One of the first steps of the new policy appears likely to be a meat.exclusion bill on sanitary grounds which our American neighbours ate talking of resenting, The Fm- perer is pus dowp as opposed to the whole \u2018movement, but he has his Naval Bill to get throngh.If the policy prevails, its effect will ba watched with interest; and, in any case, Canadians will note the uncertainty of any markets save that of the Mother Land.At any moment, à wave of domestic politics may close them.er TWO MONTHS AT THE CITY WALL The new City Council, like its unsavoury predeçesmor, is having new boodling charges to investigate.In addition to the written complaint that the sum of three hundred dollars had been offered by a candidate in order to secure a civic position, the new Couneil during the short period of two months it hus been in office, hap had to enquire inte the case of & civic employe who, with winged feét, hied from the city because through iliegal acts of his the civic ledgers stubbornly refused to agree with the cash book; the shortagé, although not very large, was sgrions enough Then there has had to be a written explanation Tram the superintendent of the Water Department us to why a desk, made in the dopporution shops, had to cost three times as much as it would Mave cost had it beeh hought out and out fn à store.Again, there has been à row over the placing of a con.ttaet by the Fire Department, for clothing, without tenders being called, and, final ly, trouble is to be raised ab the next meeting of the Council over the action of the Road Committee in awarding a large con- track for cement to the tenderer whose ce by pullie was uot as high a \u201cas that.of othét tenderers.Im si constiencé, the fotegoin in.a pretty 1'generous showing for two monthe Is is to the credit of the aldermen, hov- ever, that are putling forth efforts to pi 2 her | ony doing an the pant of civis employes, and are also inviting investigation into chirgés that have bees made agaîhet themaelvea.This is the pro: per spirit; snd if.there iv mo shirking of any Wind in the endéavour to get at the truth of beodling charges, the new alder: met will not havé much to fear at the handa of the éleetors when they again place themselves iu their hands.Al the elections in Februgry the electors showed in the most convinting indnner that they would no longer olorate aldermen, whose souls delighted in awarding contracts to thy highest tenderers, who floated civic Joans at a lois of twas hundred thousand to the city, and to whose skirts thefe clung other grave chatges.The-wew edo A Dave this time comes.The renewal of ihe strict censorship in South Africs indicates \u2018that sofsthing is afoot.The looser regime of the heliday aù Bivemiontein Is over, ond now we are agatn shut off from a view of the scene of battle.Frobably the capture of she guns Abd the daring of thy ereroy hap haétencd the renawil of-active fighting: The Rit ish \u2018bed apparently thought that they must chase the Boars to the Transvaal border to catch them again;

hess they have Jearved the art of koep- ing out of our way.WHEN THE SENDULUM SWINGS CK.In considering the tariff policies of the two political parties no one should lose sight of the fact that a tariff which affords sufficient protection to home manufacturers during a period of world-wide prosperity \u2018may prove altogether inadequate during a period of world: wide depreraions City such as now ow prevails the manulacturers of England and the United States can sell | everything they produce at good prices.In many cases they are unable to fill all-the orders they receive for goods There is .no temptation for them to make sacrifices to gecure control of the Canadian market.But during a period of extreme depression the manufaciurers of those countries would have great quantities of goods piled up in their warehouses which they could not sell to their own people at good prices and would eonscquently be willing to slanghter them in the Canadian market.For the past sixty years cycles of pros perity and depression, which have affected | the whole world, have regularly recurred.At the present time the world \u2018is enjoying the most extraordinary prosperity it has ever experienced but nothing is more certain than that this proeperity will be succeeded by world-wide depression that will affect every branch of buainëss.Canada got through the last depression comparatively well and thers are reasons why we ought to-suffer leas from the next depression than anv other country.This is a new country with immense agricultural mineral and timber resources.No other country in the world can offer such inducements to immigrants as Canada.There is no great reason, therefore, for Canadians to fear the next period of de pression provided we do not allow the mapufacturers of other countries to slaughter their goods in the Canadian market.That is what our manufacturers have rea son to fear.Our tariff is very little lower now than when the Conservatives were in power; it is based on protective principles and is fairly satisfactory for a period of prosperity.However, every manufacturer knows that the old tariff was not too high for a period of depression and even so slight a decrease as has been made by the Liberal Government might have serious consequences when hard times bYrevail in the United States and\u2019 England.But can the manufacturers of Canada be sare of retaining even their present amount of protection if the Liberals are in power when the next world-wide depres sion comes.The Liberals do not believe in protection.So long as the whole world enjoys prosperity and Canada has ita share of it they will not make much change in the tariff, byt when things begin to look black, when Canadian manufacturers experience severecompetition from outside and workshops begin to clase down is there not great danger that the Administration which believes in free trade may get into a panig and lower the tariff still further instead of raising it?Very few Canadians thoroughly realise to what an extent our prosperity is dependent upon the manufacturing industries.Anything that hurts the Canadian manufactur ers will prove injurious to the whole Canadian people.There are manufacturing industries in all the cities and towns of the Dominion and the shutting down of the factories would throw many thousands of men out of employment and demoralize \"every branch of trade.\u2014\u2014\u2014Pp | rt WHAT WOMEN ARE WEARING.Mauve satin tes PE with at vers dress of pale Mauve .tulle, figured with flowers.The tulle Orer-êrest is finished with a desp flounce of lace, the top of which 1s threaded with black velvot Fibbon.The yoke and bolero jacket: are afen laned with .black vélvat.: mehr TEUS DATR 30 TXARS AGO.(From the Star Fyles for April, MTOR) Ico on Lake St.Petar Six mrs dr Ibétohé riod ea 4 Atiaitta City.Qusbeo decidé upon \u2026.Sree summer retreat.Firat vessels of the season arrive at Oswege from Canadd;

\u201cThe case against Blanche Roy for renting a house to one Florida Lemay for disorderly purposes was yesterday afternoon referred from the Recorder's, Court to the Court of Queen's Bench.The case was tried and argued about March 13, and it was stated then that Blanche Roy, after having kept a disorderly house herself on Bl.Charles Borrommee street, had rented it for $16 a week.The police authorities had tried to devise means through which certain partlès who rented houses to women of ill-repute, might be brought under the law, and they affirmed that the civic bylaw was useless.Section él of the Criminal {ode states that \u201cvery one is a party to nd guilty of an offence who does an act for the purpose of aiding any person to commit an offence,\u201d and the police author- {tiles claimed that whoever rented a house to another person, knowing that such person would use it for disorderly purposes, became under the above section of the code party to the offence of which the keeper was gullty, and might be prosecuted criminally.It was stated that the maximum penalty against keepers of disorderly houses was six months\u2019 imprisonment, and $100 or six addmional months, and it was claimed that landlords renting houses to these keepers were guilty of the same offence.Mr.Chas.A.Wilion, for the defence, stated that the information in the case de- the Recorder's Court nor the Recorders had jurisdiction in the matter.He also requested that the case be reserved for decision for the Court of Queen's Bench.Mr.order Weir gave his decision yesterday, so that the case might be argued in the Court of Queen's Bench, as follows: \"The question that cally for decision is whether the leasing of the house in question by the defendant to another person for the purposes of prostitution renders the defendant herself {ity of maintaining a disorderly house.The Crown relles upon articles 61 and 62 as applied to article 783 F of the Criminal Code.The defence contends that these do not apply.\u201cThe proof established that the defendant leased the house to one Florida mieux allas Lemay, on or about the 4th known for many months past to be a prostitute.and to have kept the house in question as a house of prostitution prior to leasing it on the daté mentinned, -After leasing it she visited the house from time fo time, and there is no doubt that she knew the character of the house.Florida Lemieux alias may was convicted of having on the 29th of January and prior thereto for at least two months, illegally kept a disorderly house in the same premises.I find that the defendant, at the date of the lease, knew that the lessee proposed to use the house as a disorderly house, and that the latter did so use.it, as established by her conviction.\u201cI have not pronounced judgment or sentence and reserve the case for decision upon the following, (Auestions: \u201cIs anche Roy, under the facts above stated, guilty of having kept a disorderly | house on the 4th February, 19007\" THE RELIGION OF BURNS.Subject: Was Discussed at Evening Meeting of Presbyterian College Graduates.ANNUAL CONVOCATION TO BE HELD TO-NIGHT IN DAVID ;

He thought that if more detail was gone into in the annual report.the price of Canadian Pacific Railway stock in London would be higher.Sir William Van Horne,chairman of the ard, presided and on his right sat the president of the road, Mr.T.G.Shaugh- messy.After Sir William Van Horne had opened the meeting and offered the an- Dual report for adoption, the important portions of which were published.some time ago, Mr.Shaughnessy read the fol- wing: \u201cIn moving the adoption of tbe annual report of the directors, it is very gratify- \u201cing to be able to congratulate the share- bolders on the excelient résulte from the operation of the railway during the past year, and upon the prospects of continued prosperity.ile of course the progress oi the agricultural and mining interests tributary to your lines is most marked, the large improvements in your revenue is due to the growth of traffic in every section of e Dominion.\u201cThe Government reports indicate that in Manitoba and North-West Territories there will be under crop this season, about one half million acres of land in excess of 1899, so that with favourable weather conditions, the tonnage to be carried by the railway after the next harvest should be very substantially increased.You will have observed that the rate per ton mile received by your company for the\u201d carriage of freight is still further reduced, .and is lower than that received by any company in the United States similarly mtu- ated.In view of the remoteness from eastern markets of producers on some rections of your system, it has been the settled policy of your directors to reduce rates as circumstances might warrant, in order to encourage the maximum development of every section of the country, with the purpose of securing increased revenue from the growth of tonnage rather than the maintenance of high rates.The long distances that you.are enabled to haul traffic, because of the situation of your railway, and economy in the working of your lines, are, of course, important factors m the successful carrying +.out of this policy.from some short branch lines that are required to serve growing communities in Manitoba and North-West Territories, the directors do not at present contemplate any construction work involving an important expenditure of capital.The present earnings of the two railway lines, the leasing of which you will be asked to approve at this meeting, are already sufficient to meet any interest liability that may be involved, and the contributed traffic to the main line will be permanently secured.\u2018Another \u2018gratifying feature of the company\u2019s affairs is the fact that during the past year there has been an addition of one hundred and fifty per cent.to the list of shareholders of record in Canada, and the number is still increasing.The return to the basis of five per cent.dividends on your common shares is assurance of the conviction of your directors that in the absence of unforeseen commercial disaster, no lower standard will be neces sary.Mr.R.B.Angus seconded the report without comment, and it was then that Mr.Morrison took his turn.In commenting up- \u2014on Mr.Shaughnessy's mention of returning to the five per cent.basis, and the assurance that no lower standard would be reached unless unforeseen commercial disaster prevented, Mr.Morrison thought that in view of the fact that in the bad years, now past and gone, there had been a secession of dividends, an extra effort might be made to add another one per cent.to the dividend.Mr.Henry Beatty.moved that the lease of the Great North West Central Railway : .be authorized.This line extends from the main line at Brandon, Man, in a north westerly direction for a distance of fifty \u2018'Iniles, with an extension now in course of construction, twenty miles in length.Mr.John Morrison wished to know whether the price paid was such gs to afford a rospect of acquiring profits through the ly On being told that the leare was at the rate of the cost of the line, Mr.Morri- won seconded the motion which was car- The next motion was proposed by Senator MacInnes, and seconded by Mr.George Olds.It was a ratification of the fease of the Manitoba and North Western Railway Company's main lines and branches, as well as a sublease of subsidiary lines, in all two hyndred and fifty miles.these roads are important feeders of the Canadian \u2018 Pacific.The next resolution moved by Mr.C.R.Hosmer and seconded by Hon.L.J.Forget, authorized taking over of the branch linek from Doleraine to Wascada, 18 miles in length, from LaRiviere to Snowflake, 18 miles in length, to reach impor tant settlements in Manitoba: an extension of the Pipestone branch, 50 miles westward from its present terminus, to provide facilities for the Moose Mountain District; another branch line frog, gor in the direction of Varcoe, 26 miles long, and a branch from Molson to reach Lac du Bon- \u2018met in order to reach the timber district tributary tb English River./ new by-laws were also submitted to the meeting.One provides for the election of a chairman of the board to be elected by the directors from among themselves.This official must not be the president.-Bydlaw 70: provides for an assistant secretary, whose duties are to be fixed by the president and secretary.By-law 80 fixes ; the tolls for passengers in the Lethbridge Al districts, as well on the main lines and branches as on the steamers of the company in those districts.By- COFFEE VS.PREACHER.: 6People Poisoned.by Coffee Should Leave It Off» \u201cI havé been a great coffee drinker for ÿears and.it has kept me in a bilious condition, with more or less neuralgia, as the result of general ill-bealth produced by coffee drinking.I have discovered that coffee is a rank poison to my system.Since we have been using Postum Cereal Food Coffee, we not only find it a delightful bev- qualities of coffee, from nervous \u20ac with eg TN patrie bas none of the injurious effects.- \u201c \u201c« person suffering troubles, caused by the poison of coffee, should be able to get rid of the sickness chon onder if.such a one will leave off the cause and take up Postum Food Coffee.There been no coffee used in our home for a considerable time, \u201cPeople who are poisoned by coffee should \u2018leave it off, because when one sins against \u201chis he dishonours God, \u2018for our ies are the temples of the Holy Ghost\u201d Ir seem that any one conscious o e ould ees v coffee brings, would dietrees \u2026 > : vou 0 trouble in leaving it off when Pos- law 8] repeals a portion or the py-1aw relating to the election of officers, and provides for the election of the chairman of the oard, for election of additional vice-presidents to be known us second and third vice-presidents.It was proposed by Mr.Jumes Rose, seconded by Senator Drummond, that the above by-laws be spproved.; Mr.John Morrison took occasion to express his approval of the appointment of a chairman\u201d of the board who should vot be the president of the company.He had proposed.this measure years ago, and he congratulated the directors on adopting the suggestion.The motion carried unanimous- On motion of Sir Sandford Fleming, seconded by Mr.W.D.Matthews, the expenditure of $3,204,489 was authorized from capital account for the following purposes: Yor station and terminal facilities at Montreal and Winnipeg, $750,000;

Highness -Shot at by an Unknown Individual at Brussels.BRUSSELS, \u2018April 4\u2014The Prince of Wales was shot at to-day while Jeaving the railroad station here.He was not hurt.The attempt on his life was made as the train was leaving the Northern-etation for the Southern railway station.An individual in the crowd fired a revolver at the Prince, but missed his intended mark.The attempt on the life of the Prince of Wales occurred at 3.35 p.m.e would-be assassin jumped upon the footboard of the Prince\u2019s saloon car as the train was starting, and fired into the car, aiming at the Prince of Wales.The man was immediately arrested.LONDON, April 4\u2014The news of the attempt on the life of the Prince of Wales spread with marvellous rapidity in all parts of London and created the most intense excitement and the most bitter indignation among all classes.| The Government was wholly ignorant of the attempt on the life of the Prince of Wales until the press despatches were communicated to the Foreign Office.- The present is the first.occasion, so far as known, that an attempt has been made on the life of the Prince of Wales.Some fifteen years ago an individual fired at Queen Victoria in a railway station on the way to Scotland, but fortunately with no more disastrous rest™ than has attended the present attack on His Royal Highness._ Although the cable despateh contains no intimation of the probable motive of the shooting, it seems not unreasonable to suppose that it may have been done by some unbalanced sympathizer with the Boer cause.Brussels has been the scene of con- : siderable recent activity on the of the notorious Dr.Leyds,the diplomatic representative of the Transvaal in Europe, and it is possible that some of Jeyds' exaggerated assertions may have had the effect of stirring up the present\u2019 would-be assassin iv à delusion that the shooting of the Prince of Wales would be a meritor- 10U8 act.His Foyal Highnes went to the contipent Just a week ago.\u2019 Aegean HON.JOHN McINTOSH'\u2019S HEALTH The operation performed esterd the General Hospital, on Hon.John M Ta toh, was complete] successful, and to-day fhe member for Sherbrooke is doing

BOOK-KEEPING UP.Mr.Holt Holds Out No Hopes of Cheaper Gas for the Present.\u2018The anpual meeting of the shareholders \u2018of the Montrea) Gas Company at noon today in the companÿs offices in the New York Life Building was not quite 80 prosaic as usual, and instead of the usual fifteen minutes of routine the length of the meeting stretched out bver nearly an hour as the results of a little discussion which arose as to the meagreness of the information contained in the annual report.It was not what was contained in the report that was found fault with, but what was not in the report.In that connection the president.Mr.HL.S.Holt, informed the shareholders that there was no immediate prospects pf a reduction in the price of gas to the consumers, but that if the time came when such would be necessary he hoped to have the company in a position to he able to do so.Besides the president, in the chair, there were present Messrs.Hector Mackenzie, H.Montagu Allan, Robert Mackay, Hon.Senator O\u2019Brien, David McFarlane, A.W.Hooper, John Crawford, Shepherd, Wilson, Simpson, Copland, Louis Armstrong, G.N.Moncel, John Patterson and others.After the adoption of the report had been moved, Mr.David McFarlane arosc to ask a few questions regarding the report, particularly with reference to the number of new metres installed during the past year in its relation to the increased consumption of gas, the number of gas stoves installed and the relation of the asset item of $21,476 thereto, as well as the means the company were using to cause a greater consumption to be brought about by energetic means and whether the cheapening of the price would not be one of the best means of accomplishing that purpose.In the discussion which followed, participated in by the president, Mr.McFar- lane, Mr.Wilson.Mr.John Crawford and others, the question devolved itsell into one largely of book-keeping, and the pre sident made the statement that the report given to the shareholders in printed form was much fuller than that of most other companies and muéh fuller than he wished to see it himself.Much of the criticism .was due to the condensation of the report, but he courted the fullest enquiry at the hands of the shareholders, tbe books being always open for inspection.At the same time he warned the meeting that the statement would be used against them in the future by \u2018possible competitors, or at the City Hall, should occasion arise that the working of the company and its affairs come up for discussion.In the course of his remarks, he compared the cost of gas in other cities, Toronto and New Yo particularly, and pointed out that in Toronto the cost connected with the service in several respects was con: siderably below that of this city, while in New York the consumption was so much greater and the cost of fuel oil so much lower that comparison was unfair.Since he bad taken the presidency of the com- ny a reduction of ten cents per thousand in lighting gas had been made and he hopde that some time in the future another re: duction could be made, but he did not hold out any hope tbat such a consurama- tion was near at band.He declared that gas was still the cheapest light and he hoped that the company would continue to be able by careful management and reduction in the cost of production to keep it jn that ition.e report.as already published in the Star, was finally adopted, the meeting expressing its satisfaction apart from a few minor details in the matter of the bookkeeping part of the report.The retiring directors, Messrs.H.S.Holt, Robert Mackay, Hector Mackenzie, C.R.Hosmer and H.Montagu Allan were re-elected.ee THE POPE AND ENGLAND.To the Editor of the Star: Sir,\u2014We do not agree with the London Times in thinking that Cardinal Rampolla, in his letter to the Duke of Noriolk, shoul have been more explicit, nor that England\u2019s premier nobleman has gone to South Africa because of pro-Boer tendencies at the Vatican, as stated in Monday evening's telegram.A man in the Pope's exalted and responsible position may have the gravest reasons for abstaining from a formal decision as to the merits of a great war.The British Empire is not alone on this planet and he who considers himself and is held by over 260,000,000 people as the Vic nt of Christ, must take into account the effect of his words,on the collectivity of nations.That the Holy Father should deeply sympathize with Britain is not to be wond at.Catholics number about 12,000,000 amongst the 400,000,000 in the Empire.Were such a power anything but friendly to the Church, nothing would easier than to persecute her in the countless ways, subtle and distressing, in which some go- cyjled Catholic governments are extensively dealing.Now, the very reverse is the case.Where England is strongest there is the Catholic \u2018 Church freest.In London, at Gibraltar and Malta, in India and Ceylon, where a mere sign from Downing Street would ensure the destruction of every Catholic mission, the church is far more at ease than in Rome itself.One bundred and seventy Roman Catholic bishops are at present living under the British flag, carrying on their ministry, not only untrammelled, but in every sense protected.What the Jate Pope Pius IX.solemnly declared to a large meeting of English Catholics at the Vatican, in May, 1877, is as true now as then, viz., \u201cAt present the British Government alone in Europe gives full satisfaction to the Holy See.\u201d But it were & mistake to suppose that the resent distinguished incumbent of the apacy bas confined his utterances to vague sympathy for our Empire in its South Af- Besides declining any share of responsibility inthe wild, sayings of the \u201cOsservatore ,Romano\u201d (attributable chiefly : to ignorance), the Holy Father, some three weeks.ago, received in private audience Mgr.Riddell, Bishop of Nort#ampton, who presumably by the Pontiff's desire, published a statement to the effect that the Pope strongly urges all British Catholics to to their Queen and country.Now, such a declaration from a oconecientions Pope would be impossible were the war an unjust one, as a mere Glance at Roman the: ology can evidence.No Catholic mgy vol ily -take up arms for an unjust cause; and the encouragement to do so coming from the head of the church would be a crime so monstrous that we doubt \u2018if the annals of history hold an example of the kind.Twenty-five cent.of the officers in South Africa and a far greater percent- &ge of privates are Roman Catholic.They have left for the front without one word from their bishops to detain the volunteers; they have been provided with cha pains and every means of attending to.their iritual concerns.These are facts more eloquent than mere words.Consequently loyal THE TURCOT LETTER Investigation is Still in Progress Before Recorder Weir.MAN NAMED WHELAN DICTATED And Mr.Turcot Wrote the Document Which Created So Much Talk.The author of the Turcot letter has been discovered.It was written by Turcot himself.© ~ eu 7 The investigation before Mr.Recorder Weir into the pretence that aldermen had been bribed to vote for Turcot as milk inspector, was resumed at noon to-day.It was, as before, in private.Ar.l'urcot and Mr.Thibault appeared before the enquiry, and told all they knew about the matter.The investigation was adjourned till noon to-morrow.\u201cWe are getting on,\u201d said Alderman Lar- eau, in response to the Star's enquiries, \u201cand will get to the bottom of the mystery yet.The enquiry will be resumed to-mor- row.The man who caused the writing of the letter answers the description of a tramp who has been loafing about the City Hall and ! would not be surprised if the whole thing turned out to be a put-up job.\u201d \u201cMr.1.Turcot, veterinary surgeon, in conversation with the Star reporter, admitted he wrote the letter in question, but did so at the dictation of one Whelan.He says that Whelan came to nim and represented himself as a horse trader and offered to five him $300 if he would pass horses that e purposed shipping to the \u2018lransvaal and elsewhere.Mr.Turcot is a veterinary surgeon, who had been living for some time in the United States and recently returned to Canada.Later on, Whelan came to 1'udcot, he says, and dictated the letter, which has caused all the commotion.fr.C.E.Thibault, plumber and gas fitter, of 231 Amherst street, had no knowledge of the letter in question and never heard of it until he saw it published in the Star.\u201cI know.Mr.Turcot, but had no conversation with him as to the milk in- speetorship.One morning a man came to my place and asked to see me in private.Our Conversation was a very short one.He wanted me, if I had any influence with the council to use it for Mr.Turcot.\u2018I have already secured aldermen Ames, Wilson and Robertson\u2014thoy cost me $100 each,\u201d he said, and intimated he would make things \u2018 all right with me later.[I told him 1 wonld see about it and gave the matter no further thought, as I knew Turcot had mo chance of getting the position, and did not reg the man who approached me serious ly.e was an undersized, shabby-lookin man, English-speaking, red headed, with with the velvet worn off the collar.I do not know his name and never saw the man ore.He did not call on me again, but I did hear that he went to other people and tried to raise money, pretending he wanted it to help Turcot\u2019s election.I think it strange the letter was not shown to me if T was supposed to know about it.I have no interest in the milk inspectorship other than that of any other citizen who desires to see the most suitable and competent man appointed, 1 do not know Ald.Ames intimately having merely met him at our last annual banquet at.the Place Viger Hotel, where he was invited as a member of the Hygiene Committee.\u201d It is thus apparent that Mr.Thibault is not the person who gave Ald.Ames the Turcot letter and the name of this individual has not been divulged.Pre ENDED IN À FIGHT, Law Suit Between Ile Perrot Parties Over the Custody of a Boy.Theres were lively times shortly after noon to-day in the corridors of the Court House.The police had to be called in and one man was taken over to the Police Station but released, as there was no warrant for him.The whole trouble arose out of the hearing of a case of Amedee , a farmer of Ile Perrot, against his wife to secure his eight year old son who is at present with the mother, who is living separated from her husband.The case came up on a write of habeas corpus taken out by Daoust.It was heard by Mr.Justice Mathieu.8.Daoust was present in court with her little son and so was the father, each accompanied by their counsel.Mr.Charlemagne Rodier, acted for the wife and Mr.Omer Goyette, for the husband.Mra.ust was p in the witnees box and stated that she had taken her child away so as to be able to look after him.She com- Jained that she could nbt live with her usband because of ill treatment gener ally.She had already taken two suits for separation against him.She had not been able to proceed with one Yor lack of funds\u2019 and means of producing evidence and the other was discontinued at the instance of a priest who sought to re-establish | peace in the household.She could not live with her husband as he did not provide for her wants nor those of her child.Mr.Goyette denied the charges made by re Hones alled th is Honour c up the young lad on the bench and on aski) him if he preferred to live with his father of his mother, the boy declared for his mother.Other witnesses were examined, and argn- ments took place upon law points.Finally the case was continued until Tuesday, Mr.G.Schiller, father of Mra.Daoust, giving security that she would reappear on that date with her child., But this was not the end of the trouble by any means, for it appears that as the parties were going away the father of the child sought to recover his son, which the mother, backed up by her father, would not consent to.A general melee followed, and # is said that .Schiller was struck three times.In the meantime Mrs.Daoust and her child sought refuge in a room the police was called in an st marched over to the Central station, where, as stated, he was liberated for want a warrant.Mr: Rodier, counsel for Mrs.Daoust, states that he will apply for warrants for the arrest of parties implicated in the assault.\u2019 : BIRTHS.EDWARDS \u2014 At Ottawa, April 1st, th wife of

Their Present Relations May Be Improved Upon.OFFERS SOME GOOD ADVICE.Signifleant Utterances by theMinister For Foreign Affairs In the Chamber of Deputies.(Special to the Star).PARIS, April.4.\u2014In the course of the discussion of the Foreign Office estimates in the Senate yesterday, Count D'Aunay, said that the war in South Africa had proved to Great Britain that ber policy ot splendid isolation was not the one best suited to her interests.She had felt that a little less stiffness and a little more respect for the rights of others should find a place in her relations with other peoples.e believed that a welcome change had come about in English public opinion, and that it would be expedient for French diplomacy to take advantage of this to resume certain conventions.e hoped that the circumstances were favourable to a ru proachment which was much to be desired.A rupture between France and Great Britain would a misfortune to civilization.All right thinking men should do what they canto prevent it.Mutual respect was the surest method of preventing such .a_ rupture.; M.Delcasse, Minister of Foreign /Affairs replying to Count D'Aunay said: \u2018\u201cProvided both Governments give proof of a little confidence in one another, I think I can say, that the relations between them will remain as satisfactory as they have \u2018ever been.(Applause).The most decisive reason which should make euch a line of conduct is that in case of a conflict breaking out between France ana England, it would not be the victor, whichever it might be, who would reap the benefit of victory.(Loud applause).That is well known to ail those who rightly disregard the sayings of the inventors of empty phrases.It is equally wel) known to all who think, to all who work, to all who consider that great

reasons for mutually respecting each other's rights and dignity in the questions th have to solve.It is not for me to spea here of ridiculous ats.It is not yet time to tell the whole truth concerning the events of 1898.Neither the Government nor France will have anything to fear whenever they are published.History wil speak the last word.All I can say is that the Government had in view at that time the disproportion between the object to be obtained and the efforts necessary to reach it.The treaty coneluded in 1899 secured ue snbstantial advantages which no one can dispute, \u201cThe treaty of commerce concluded with the United States is advantageous to our \u2018industry and\u2019 agriculture and the begotia- tions respecting Shanghai have secured a recognition of our rights.The

late.It was extraordinary that the reason of over age was only discovered at a late date, that only two officers were removed on this account whilst others similarly disqualified were left on.\u20ac reason looked like a subterfuge.Tn an excellent speech he summed up the case.General Hutton and Colonel Foster i said Colonel White was removed because of politics.The Minister said he was not.but came into the House armed cap a pie with political speeches made by Col.White.If ever there wero a strong case against a Minister it -was-that against TF Borden made out b himself.Dr.Borden had disclosed what he called an extraordinary state of affairs, as regarded the relations hetween the general, himself and the officers of the department.It was unfortunate that Dr.Borden had not given this explanation to which the public and a right, while Major- General Hutton was here, and could answer.Every officer regretted that the name of one who had done so much for the Militia of Canada as had Major-General Hutton should be so dragged t rough the mud, as his was by Dr.Borden, The motion to adjourn was then negative.THE BUDGET DEBATE RESUMED Mr.Clarke Wallace Ridicules Some of the Claims of the Administra- - tion.Mr.N.Clarke Wallace at 10.05 o'clock renewed the budget debate.After presaging that there was every promise of à warm bes- sion, he passed on ta ridicule the claims of Messrs.Fielding and Paterson.mow fell or sunshine in Quebec; it was their work: if there was an extra good crop in Manitoba, it was their doing; if gold \u2018were found in the Yukon, it Was owing to them.Now they claimed eredit for having built the CPR.Mr.Paterson outdid everybody, and tried to frighten them if be could not convince them.He told them \u201cWe have brought over thousands and over tens of | thousands into Canada.\u201d He, Mr.Wallace, began to think no one ever came to Can: ada until the Liberals took office.Paterson claimed an increase of 27 per cent.on\u2019 settlers\u2019 goods, and claimed the credit for this.Mr.Paterson should be fait.Would it not have n faiver to take the effects imported in the three years of Grit rule and compare them with the three previous years.How did they compare?he last three years of Conservative rule gave an average importation of settlers\u2019 effects of $2,684,000 as against $2,622,000 for the three years of Liberal rule, or a reduction of 2 1-2 per cent.Mr.Paterson had never met Mr.Fortier's \u2018charge that the figures for the imports and exports were juggled with.He had gone round and round it, but never met it.He knew that 16,000,000 bushels of corn entered as for home consumption; were not for home consumption, he knew they \u2018only went through, because he said they had only gone through.Yet he included them to make things look more favourable to the Government.Mr.Paterson had iven the percentage of taxation at 16.70, But the figures were not correct.Deductin the corn in transit it gave an average oO 17.30.These res differed from Mr.Paterson\u2019s of this year and last year, because in those years he deducted enin and bullion.Including coin and bullion it gave 17.98 for; 1889 ainst 17.634 for 1895 an 5 Mr.Wallace showed the abeurdity of Lib- eral claims by showing that a lady who purchased a dozen handkerchiefs which cost $2 in_the country of origin would save ons-balf & cent on the reduction of the tariff.Mr.Paterson claimed that they had reduced the taxation: on: thotupadds of forgot to mention that they h | inéreased thè' taxes on pus\u201d ad \u2018and on \u2018coal oil by A ere wae another matter.e rLiberals were never tired of telling what they had done for the country, but he wished to call attention t the .statement of Mr.Mulock at Goderich that out of 440 dutiable articles, they.had placed 207 on the free list and had reduced the duties on 147.He could -find only 19, and the Minister of Customs placed it at 21, but they would not quarrel about that.Mr.Paterson claimed that they had given the manufacturers free raw material and Mr.Wallace proceeded to show the falsity of this claim.They had only carried out | the Conservative policy in regard to coal and coke, and had promised to abolish the duty on bjtumingus coal, but did not do |.Mr.Paterson claimed credit for giving free raw cotton, but it \u2018was free under the Foster tariff.It was so in regard to flax seed also.There was a whole list of such articles, A more politically dishonest speech was never made.Mr.Paterson frequently interrupted at this stage, but was severely sal upon\u201d by Mr.Wallace.Mr Paterson claimed credit for having cream separators come, in free.He would like to know why cream separators, which were made in Canada, came in free, and the duty be put-u cream sodas and biscuits (laughter.) ME Walloon quoted a list of 180 articles which the Consérvatives had made free in 1894, principally ruw materials for manufacturers, as well as a number of articles on which important reductions had been made.He compared these with the small, reductions made by the Liberals in 1897.In the ome item of coal oil they had done more hart than they had conferred benefits.They reduced the tariff on coal oil 1 cent per gallon from 6 to 5 cents, and at the same time they gave facilities to the Standard oil combine, the effect of which was to hand the oil industry of Canada over to them.Their agents had swarmed around this building and dictated this tariff, and made no secret of it.I know this, he said, from my personal knowledge.his organization had been hand in glove with the Government all along.They had dictated to the Government, they had dictated to the railways and taken possession of al§the refiner ies of Canida.They claimed last year that they were not increasing the price of oil, u : QUOTED WHOLESALE PRICES.Mr.Wallace gave the Toronto wholesale prices to show that they had put up Cana- dion oils: 3 cents per gallon.They could fix the price of American oil also an they chose, and 9,360,000\" gallons had been ime ported, while over 11,000,000 gallons of Canadian oil was used.t was over 20,000, 000, 3 cents per gallo, on which meant over $600,000 to the people of Canada.Why had not the Government grappled with the monopoly ?: Mr.Taylor\u2014\u201c They are afraid they would squeal, for they gave $200,000 to the election und.\u201d \u2018 Mr.Bennett\u2014\u201c They supplied oil for the achine.\u201d Mr.Wallace\u2014* It was used for various purposes, and yet the Minister of Customs says the Government saved the people $35,- 000 on oil.\u201d He then took up the question of agricultural implements, and the value of the imports of them.He would have à tariff that would cause them to be made in - Canada.Fhe-imports had \u2014 increased fourfold.Was it so in regard to biscuits?The Minister of Customs was very much interested in them, and so was the \u2018Minister of Finance.The etatistics showed that there was a good, careful man at the head of the Customs Department.Was there-a reduction here?Mr.Paterson\u2014\u201c It is about your size.\u201d Mr.Wallace retorted that the smallness was on the part of the man who put up the duty, and found a combine to keep up prices.Co Mr McMullen stood up and exhibited a lithogra h advertising the Woodbridge Hair, of w ich Mr.Wallace was treasurer, which was made in the United States.Mr.Wallace\u2014\"\u201cT must object.Mr.Speaker, to the member for North Wellington obtruding his photograph on the House.\u201d \u2018I'he photograph was à picture of a ballet dancer or something of the kind.To Mr.Wallace went on to deal with the sugar duties, which, were a tax upon the people of the country.- Mr.Wallace moved the adjournment of the debate at 11.40 o'clock.\u2019 SAN JOSE SCALE ACT.Mr.Fisher then explained' his bill to amend the San Jose Scale Act, and asked for its second reading.The bill proposed fo allow the importation of American nur- serÿ stock through certain ports of entry as a method of rendering it safe to do so \u2018had been found by fumigating the stock with hydro-cyanic acid gas.He believed it erfectly safe to allow of this importation.t wab necessary to permit it owing to the scarcity of stock, He asked that the bill be passed, as it was important it should at [ once become effective.The bill was read a second time, considered in committee, read a third time and passed.The House aujourned at midnight.To-morrow the Premier will move that when the House rises on Wednesday, the 1.inst, it do stand adjourned til \u2018Tuesday, 17th inst.e Premier gives notice that on Thurs dav he will move that the-Government take - ednesdays in future.0 AT THE POINT OF DEATH.; (Special to the Star.)
