It must have gladdened the heart of the Queen to know that Britishers, wherever they were, were willing to shed their blood for the honour aud glory of the English flag.(Cheere.) The colonies had shown themselves second to nome, and in the picture galleries in the future, where there would oubtless be records of the brave deeda done during the war by the British soldiers, the colonials would be well represented.eers.) Not one branch of the service had done braver deeds than the Canadians.They had been taught eome useful lessons ,and despite depressions and disappointments they had fought successfully a justifiable war.(Cheers.) There were appy times in store for South Africa, and the Boers would find it better to be under the sway of Queen Victoria than under that of Mr.Kruger.(Chéers.) INTERVIEWS WITH MEN.The invalided men represented various sections at the front, but were mostly of the Royal Canadian R iment, which was the first to go to South frica, and has suffered so much that there are only about 300 remaining on active service out of an original 1,100, generally, said that they considered the treatment in the field hospitals very rough, though it was only what they were prepared for when they volunteered for service.Some of the men had been on furlough in England for several months, and spoke in warm praise of their treatment while in England, particularly in London.They also desired to exprees gratitude for their reception on Monday by the Mayor of Canterbury.The: regretted the complaints lately made by Canadian volunteers as to their treatment in Liverpool, as they were sure that if the local authorities had known of tbpir arrival in time théy would have been \"handsomely treated.The soldier referred to by the Lord Mayor as pierced by eleven bullets was Private Kennedy, of the Royal Canadian Regiment, a stalwartayou fellow who appeared robust ae wel as in good spirits.It was at Paard that he was o target for many rifles.The only complaint he made was that he was not allowed to return to the front when he came out of the hospital.As the steamship moved away the band played \u201cAuld Lang Syne,\u201d and the enthusiestic cheers of the vast crowd were reciprocated by the.-soldiers-on the abip.CT PIONEER POSTAL CORPS.OTTAWA, Ont.August 23\u2014Lieut.Ec- clestone, in charge of \u2018the Canadian postal corps in South Africa, writing

23.\u2014In the House of Assembly yesterday the treason Bilt was sent to a second reading, without a division.On July 26 last the ministry of Sir John Gordon Sprigg introduced in the Cape House of Assembly the indemnity and special tribunals or treason bill.Its second reading was moved August 1, by Mr.Rose Innes, attorney-general.The debate on this motion was very bitter, and occupied the attention of the House for five sittings.Broadly described, the treason bill fixes the responsibility and future status of .rebellious subjects of Queen Victoria in the colony of the Cape of Good Hope, although the question of compensation is left to another session, and the crux of the debate was the question whether indemnity ehould include amnesty.ATTACKED CHAMBERLAIN\u2019S POLICY.The Afrikander Bund leaders availed themselves of the opportunity to attack Mr.Joseph Chamberlain's South African policy, especially as it affects the Cape uteh, and to accuse Mr.Schreiner, himself a Dutchman, of \u201cbetraying the Dutch, and of violating implied, if not express pledges to the Bund.Messrs Schreiner and olomon had voted with the Government majority on the first reading.Mr.Rose-Innes, in moving the second reading, appealed to the members of the Houre to exercise common sense and self- restraint in dealing with the bill, remarking that if the colony emerged from the ordeal it would amply vindicate its rigbts to self- government.He characterized the punishment which it was proposed by the bill to mete out to the rebele as the \u201cmildest jm- aginable,\u201d observing that the rank and file, if tried by the ordinary courts, would be liable to diefranchisement for life.He said that if the Afrikander party suffered, owing to the diefranchisement of rebels, no blame could be attached to the Imperialists.Mr.Merriman, spesking for the Opposition, declared that the bill was an \u2018expres sion of Mr.Chamberlain's desire to establish an artificial majority to do his bidding, and to grind the whole race.He predicted that it would perpetuate strife, render a settlement impossible, and create new crimes.He said he had not the slightest doubt that the object of the bill was to wreak political vengeance on the Afrikander party.A RIFT IN THE CLOUDS.Mr.Schreiner, accepting \u2018Mr.Merriman\u2019s challenge, as a veiled censure of him and his government, said he would suppor the treason bill, which showed wisdom and statesmanship, because it formed a rift in the clouds of the future.From his point of view it was a lenient measure.His colleagues bad failed to recognize that amnesty was a constitutional prerogative of the Imperial Government.When Mr.Chamberlain\u2019s replv was received to the ministerial minute, urging en amnesty\u2014an act on the part of the Cape Government that implied no interference with the prerogative of the British Crown, and when it was found that this reply modified the first proposals, he (Mr.ner) drgéd thé summoning of a meeting of the Afrikander party.A majority of its m T8 refused to accept the proposition of a five years\u2019 disfranchisement, whereupon he immediately resigned.He said be wished utterly to repudiate the charge that an Afrikander conspiracy had ever existed.If a conspiracy had existed, wh was he mot, Jn ity ympathy with the TS Was not

er cent.Lelow ihe rate under which we are now working.Action was immediately taken, and at a general meeting held at Toronto, August 6, it \"was decided to hold a conference with Mr.Leonard.We met August 7-8, and were xiven to understand that not only did the vompany object to the increase asked.for in our new schedule, but thought it was paying us too much.This we consider unreasonable, in view of the fact that much extra work has been added.We did not receive any satisfaction at the conference, with the exception of the statement that no in: crease would be granted.Ve came to Montreal, and met Messra.Tait and Me.Nicoll, who gave us similar answers.\u201cOne of the grounds on which we base our claim 18 the fact that the engineers and firemen received am, increase, voluntary so.far as they are concérned, for hauling larger trains.We are handling from 25 to 33 per cent.more freight since the introduction of heavier engines, thus increasing the earning capacity of the line.\u201cIn regard to this being a move by the vounger element, as stated, the committee positively declared that the older men are prepared to back them up in any action they may take.The members of the joint committee are all experienced railroad men and not one of them has had less than ten years\u2019 experience in the employ of the Canadian Pacific.\u201cThe officials say they are willing to submit the case to arbitration as a fitting way of settling the difficulty, but this we refused, for the reason that it had never been found necessary before.Another thing is they consider themselves fully capable of dealing with their own affairs, and of which no outsider could be a judge without years of hard experience.The company has also stated that it was willing to rearrange the \u2018rates\u2014that is to take off from some runs and pay the difference to others.This we consider an injustice, as we do not know of a single case among trainmen where any one is overpaid.\u201d 1t is understood that the company has intimated that it cannot ree its way clear to grant the demand.from the fact that the business outlook, especially in the Narth- West, is such as will not justify an increase at this juncture, Another matter, the officials sav, is that, taking all things into consideration its men are better paid than those on any railway in Canada.Îts cars are fitted with the most approved equipment, thus lessening the danger and actual labour of years ago.This, it is argued, more than offsets the responsibility involved in the operation of heavier trains.tn Pt MISSOURI JOURNALISTS.Party of Seventy-five Visited the City Yesterday.A party of Missouri journalists reached the city last night on.the steamers Bohemian and Toronto, and after a brief stop of an hour's duration left for Quebec by the Quebec boat.They will return to-mor- row and spend a day in this city, going thence to Portland, and returning to St.Louis via Detroit and Chicago.There ere seventy-five members of the Missouri Press Association in the party, which consists very largely of the weekly press of the state.\u2014\u2014o{m-\u2014e - ASSESSORS\u2019 WORK ANOMALISTIC.To the Editor of the Btar: + Sir,\u2014In to-day\u2019s Star, under the title \u201cAssessors\u201d Work,\u201d appears a card or news item in which it is stated \u201cThat the Assess ors, after much arduous work, have completed assessing property in the city for the current year, an imposing regular business taxes.\u2019 This is hardly correct, the Assessors do not impose the taxes.Their duties are to determine, according to law, the value of real property and to verify the annual value or rental of all ruch property.They impose these values, and are required {by aw to hear complains as to their estimates of same, which, according to their Yown admissions, are often unqualified impositions, ar we read: \u201cThis year a great many complaints were heard by the Assess ors from those dissatisfied with the valuations imposed,\u201d and in many cases they corrected their errors of values, the amount of the tax being modified ipso facto.It is an enigma to me, considering that the As sessors can only hear complaints, according to charter enactments, based upon an entry in one or other oi the assessment rolls, after due notice of its or their completion has been advertised in the daily presa.Considering that the valuation roll of im- moveables is not jet completed, or required to be completed, before 1st September next one is curious to learn how complaints could be formulated, or heard, reductions of valuations made, or rejected, legally, without observing these formalities.)

WESTERN MEN WON.New Westminster Champion Lacrosse Team* Defeated Montreal Yesterday.IT WAS A GOOD EXHIBITION.Cornwall Is Ready to Face the Sham- rooks Here on Saturday Afternoon.SMALL audience sat on the big stand at the M.A.A.À.ounds yesterday afternoon and saw the British Colum- ina Lacrosse Cham- ions romp away rom the Montreal ers and finally win out by a score of five goals to two, Exhibition lacrosse has never been a very popular amusement here, and this fact coupled with the threatening weather probably interfered with the attendance to a considerable extent.The gentlemen who bave travelled so far to show us how they play the National Game in their section of our great country deserve encouragement, and their games ought to be well patron- 1zed.hen these people have something to show.They play a game that is not much different from what we do ourselves, but it is a different game from that which the Montreal \u2018Lacrosse Club expounds, hence the reason for the victory of the western aggregation.The Montreal team was without the services of Arthur Moore on the defence, and Coldwell and Bruce Day were playing at centre and inside home respectively.tam: eron took Moore's place.\u201cBilly\u201d Christ: mas was moved well in on the home and \u201cErnie\u201d was left in the home field.This change .did not work at all satisfactorily, and in the third game \u201cBilly\u201d Christmas was moved back to centre field and Por teous was placed at inside home.This \u2018was an improvement and the work of the home, which heretofore had not been of the very best, immediately picked up.Altogether Montreal bad a good team and they played the game in their usual style.e Western men \u201clined up-a solid, well built lot that created a favourable impression at first sight.Their work was good, their victory proves this, but there are several teams-in Eastern Canada \u2018hat ought to be able to defeat these western champions without any difficulty.However, it may be that the New Westminster boys were not forced .to their limit yesterday and.may have a lot of good lacrosse in reserve that may surprise the eastern men.The defence is strong and steady.but it is a defence that leaves many opportunities for a speedy home and looks as if it would scatter easily.The field is good and was always ready to relieve the defence and supply the home with the ball.\u2018The home is speedy and jumps right in on the poles, but there is one man who managed to spoil several nice pieces of play.but a tendency to slip out to the edge and find out where he was at.ere is one pice stick bandler who handles his \u2019crosse like Hoobin and his work was good at all stages.In the early part of the match the attack placed lops passes Which were easily intercepted by \u201cBilly\u201d Murphy, but they soon awakened to this and sent in ood Jow passes that proved very effective.hroughout the game tbey played with\" a confident sir znd tork chances in sending the ball across the field.The men handle their sticks in a stiff manner and play their lacrosse somewhat as the Victorias of Winnipeg play hockey.They are cll strong \u2018and muscular, but there is nothing finished about their , work, and there is more strength than : \u2018in their work.They bat the ball quite frequently instead of picking it up and passing.However, there is ton: siderable judgment exhibited by the home in the disposition of the men, and an amount of hack passing and fancy pases that is astonishing.From goal to inside home the men check with a vim.Their work in this line is very effective and they hold on after a man as long as there is any chance of getting the ball.One gentleman lambasted Taylor in a peculiar manner and received a respite of three minutes for his work.\u201cBob\u201d Cheney and Christmas came together and took a few whacks at cach other and were also sent to the fence.Outside of these two incidents the game was free from anything unusual and was played out in a friendly manner.Mr.Harry Brophy acted as referee in a manner that showed he still retains his grip on the game and ought to see more active service, The teams were: New Montreal.Westmipster.Hamilton .Goal.Cheney Murphy .\u2026 Point .\u2026 A.W.Gray Taylor.\u2026.+ « .Cover .W.8, Galbraith Cameron .Defence .C.K.Snell Haynes .Defence .L.Gifford Mackerrow ,.Defence .C.P.Peele Coldwell .Centre .A.Turnbull FE.Christmas .Home .H.P.Latham rvine .Home .W.Gifford Porteous .- .Home .TT.Lynch W.Christmas Outside .G.Oddy Day .Inside .8.Peele Murphy .;

CORNWALL, Ont., Cornwalls will go down to Montreal on Saturday, confident that they will disperse the Shamrocks.ey have only one more match after Saturday's, that with the Nationals on September 1, and they figure that these t® wins will put them in second lace.The fact that the Capitals shut the mrocks out on Saturday has not had the slightest effect on the heads of the local team.They have gone up against the men in green often eno to know what to expect when they set foot on the Shamrock soil.Yesterday evening.they were out in full force.Yesterday afternoon the strongest junior team available were out under their new captain, Dick Muleahy, who for five consecutive years piloted the Aberdeens to victory in every match they played.The game yesterday afternoon was hot from the start, the young blood mixing, it up with their older opponents.his afternoon the boys to put on the finishing touches, and if the Shamrocks can down the egation that departs Saturday morning for Montreal, they will have a tough time in doing it.CHANGES ON SHAMBOOK TEAM.There will be several changes on the Shamrock team and the twelve men who will line up nst Cornwall will probabl include we for whom the match will be their initial bow to senior ranks.Some Phe game wih the Capitals, and'It fo hard e game wi e i t is - ly probable that Johnny Currie will b À ble to turn out or practice.e home will have a shake up and several men will be tried out.There was a good attendance at practice last night have disheartened the Shamrocks to any extent.They have taken their loss in a philosophical manner and will endeavour to win out their succeeding matches and secure as high a position 4a possible in the series.The Cornwall n a similar ambition, and having no desire to finish tailenders, will send down on \u2018Saturday their beat material and try to wrest a win from the Shamrocks on the latter's own grounds.\u2018\u2019 snors The visitors know how to check.\u201cBob\u201d Cheney has not lost his ewnning.The New Westminster t in Que bec % , Saturday.cam plays \"a The crowd soon discovered Shark the visiting team.hare on \u201cuïging some English club to ch: turned out | and the Capital defeat does not- appear to, \u201cBiscuits crea ed fa ; ble i sion with the Bove, * yours impres: Dr.Irvine soored Montreal's first goal by batting the ball into empty nets.Coldwell\u2019s work at centre was not particularly brilliant, and there was a big improvement.when \u201cBilly\u201d Christmas went ack to his own position.IN THE AQUATIC WORLD.ANNUAL YACHTING CRUISE.Outing for the Royal!

ahoe.The ex-champion took on both Jeff Thorne and Bob Armstrong for four rounds each yesterday.Then he bad a bout with Prof.Atlas, and the pair wrestled for three- uarters of an hour.When this was over itz punched the bag and skipped the rope.A nap followed, and in the evening, after supper he took a run of about five miles.Bob's wind ia a little bit defective.He says that this will be all right in about a day or so.Fitz spent a few hours yesterday at his blacksmith forge, which is situated in the yard of his cottage, and turned out several horseshoes.: Fitz will be looked after on Friday night by practically the same men who cared for him in, his encounter with Gus Ruhlin.His seconds will be George Dawson, Bnb Armstrong, and Jeff Thorne.Percy Williams, his manager and friend, will keep time for him.itz is not disturbed over the reports that Bharkey intends to rush him from the atart.\u201cI know a thing or two about this sort of boxing,\u201d said Fitz., \u201cand Sharkey will realize this before we have gone many rounds.If he does as he says it will not be so hard for me to get at him, and one good solid blow will make him _be careful, I assure you.\u201d \u201cEverybody seemed to be on the move at Bharkey\u2019s camp yesterday.The former tar is working like a Trojan.In his bouts with Matty Matthews he shows a great deal of speed.He hammers and rushes Matthews for keeps, but the latter stands tbe gaff like a veteran.Peppers, the coloured heavyweight, is also with Shar- key.The pair go at it hot end swift and many a stiff punch is exchanged.Sharkey\u2019s road work consisted of a ten-mile run over the race track at Sheenshead Bay.en be peturned he was rubbed down.am taking good pains in learning how to avoid Fitz's noted Rif >\u201d said Sharkey, He will not be able to land that blow on me, J can tell you.I met him once before and I know his style very well.If Fits id Ruhlin, why etting up in his wson, however, meets me the way he there will not be very much to it.\u201d Sharkey, will be handled b: Rourke, Buckley, \u201cSpike\u201d Matty Matthews.His ti eeper will in all probability be his partner, Barney Reich.Betting on the result is still slow.Fitz remains the favourite at 2 to 1.The Shar.key eupporters are waiting for a better price.Speculation will no doubt begin in earnest as soon as the big racetrack men t back from Sara .die Kennedy, Sam Fitzpatrick snd Milton Roblee have commissions o i sre willing to give 2 » Lo\" Fite.They BRIEF NOTES OF DOINGS.On Saturday afternoon s tea Excelsior Woollen Mills Company om the cricket with a team irom the Elder-Demp- ster Company, on Delormier Park, A meeting of the Montreal Football sociation will be held in the M.À.AA rooms, Mansfield street, on Monday, the 27th, at 8.30, to complete arrangements for the fal series.Delegntés are requested to atten When Bard Palmer took the: - liam H.Moody, he had a record of | Bu The gelding reduced his record to 2.124 at Hé Dardest races over witnessed on tP1 ;

TORONTO, August 23.\u2014 Dr.Percy Leslie and Mrs.Leslie, of Montreal, formerly of the Presbyterian Mission at Ho- nan, arrived in the city from China at 7.45 this morning.They were met by Mr.Leslie, of Mpntrea), a brother of the Doctor; Rev.R.P.MacKay, Rev.Mr.Winkle, and two or three friends.Except for a little lameness from the wound received in his leg during his terrible experiences in the attack made on the fleeing missionaries at Hsin Tien by the Chinese, Dr.Leslie says he was quite well.bid Mrs.Leslie, too, said she was quite well.The doctor and his wife were driven to the Queen's Hotel, where they will rest for t , day, leaving here to-night for Mont- In an interview with a Star vepresenta- tive, Dr.Leslie said that anti-foreign pre- generatio-s was the cause of all trouble in China.\u2018The Chinese, as a whole, do not distinguish between European merchants and mission: aries, but hate all Europeans indiscriminately, whether in propagation of the Crospel or of business was their aim.In the Honan district the rising was certainly not caused by any distinctively anti-Christian feeling.but merely from u deep-rooted detestation of the \u2018foreign devils.\u201d ; Dr.Leslie does not think that the Chinese discriminate between the various European nations, LEuglish, Russians or Germans, being simply looked-upon as members of the =ame foreign power, which must be kept out of the Chinese Empire UPRISING NOT GENERALLY KNOWN.as a whole know nothing The peopls, ogee their im- whatever of anything outeide ;

Mr.Phillips Las been served with the writ.Mr.Ford alleges that by a deed made on the 19th of April, 1899, he leased to Mr.Phillips for five years, from July 1st of that year, the Theatre Francais, and by that leuse the plaintiff (Mr, Ford) bound himself to renew four hundred seats; put in a new floor, ete., all ot which he did.\u201cThe defendant took possession, according to in connection arrangement and occupied the premises until February 26 of this year, when the building took fire and was totally destroyed The defendant was to pay the plaintiff the sum of $300 per month.On February 27th, day after the fire, the plainti protested the defendant, declaring that he would hold him responsible for all damages from the fire.Thr claim of the plaintiff now is that the legal presumption is that the fire was caused by the fault of Mr.Phillips, who must repair the damage done by paying the actual financial loss sustained by Mr.Ford, Mr.Ford, in his declaration, claims that\u2019 the night watchman was intoxicated betore and during the fire; that he was not carrying his register of visits throughout the building, and that he and others emoked in the building on the night of the fire.\u2018l'his is a portion of the negligence which the plaintaff alleges.Mr.Ford lays his damages as follows: The value of the building and contents was $60,647, and of this sum fe was only able to recover $30,000 from the insurance companies, thus having a direct loss here of $10,647.It is next claîmed that he can only com- \"PERSONALS.Dr.Cook, of Detroit, is at the Queen's.cr.C.A.Monk is in town from Comp- n.Mrs.McLeish has returned to town from Bherbrooke.Mr.8.Sloman has returned from a trip to Detroit.Mr.Richard Dobell, of Quebec, is at the Place Viger.Mrs.Gilbert, of Montreal, is at present in Kingston.Mr.W.E.Whitehead, of Toronto, ie at the Windsor.Principal Grant has returned to Kingston from © West.- Miss\u2019 May Ashley has returned to town from Kingston.Mr.A.E.Ogilvie has Martha's Vineyard.Miss Girouard is the guest of Madame Lavergne at Malbale.Dr.Alfred T.Bazin has left town on a three weeks\u2019 hollday.Miss Ethel Fuller has returned to 8her- brooke from Montreal.Miss Kate Munro, of Montreal, is at the Bay View, Bacon's Bay: Miss Chrysler, of Ottawa, friends at Richmond, Que.Mr.H.B.Cassils has left to spend his holidays at Riviere du Loup.;

and ple of it, in obtaining the necessary bottoms.e exports of cheese from the port of Montreal, from the opening of navigation to the fifteenth of August, show a trifling increase for the present year, while butter shows a considerable decrease.The exports for the season, up_ to Au- st 15, as compiled by\" the Montreal 3oard of Trade are as follows: 1900 1890 6,210,596 bus.5,941,115 bus.5,032,236 bus 9,112,971 bus.3,225,265 bus.2,208,799 bus.Wheat.Corp.Oats.+.\u2026.Total.15,368,087 bus.17,352,885 bus.Butter .13,872 pkge.215,052 pkas.Cheese.1,021,812 pkgs.095,583 pkgs.Total .1,155,484 pkgs.1,210,635 pkgs.The shortage of ocean tonnage is brought forcibly to mind when the statistics of the Harbour Board are consultea.From the opening of navigation to the 23rd of August the sea-going vessels entering the port of Montreal amounted to 421, as compared with 480 for the corresponding period last year.In 1898 the sea-going vessels emt.ring the port of Montreal from the opening of navigation to the 15th of August was 538, hut this, it must be remembered, was the record year of the port of Montreal, and away above the average of increase.CAUSE OF THE DECREASE, ; The war in South Africd has been perhaps the chief cause of this decrease of tonnage, but on the other hand there are lines which have heretofore made Montreal a port of eniry, and which this vear they have not touched.For instance, there is the Johnston Line.Last vear they ran a regular line of vessels from this port but this year they have not had a steam: ship in the harbour.The, land Line has no Liverpool service this year, though they operate a Hamburg and Antwerp line.The Head Line is one of the steamship lines showing an increased tonnage, they having at least five more steamers than last year.Owing to a variety of reasons there is a shortage of steamships in the lan, Dominion and other lincs.Taken all around, the freight business has during the season shown an increase of about twenty per cent.over last year.so that the steamships are certainly not losing money, even with the limited service On grain.boxed meats.flour, etc., the increase is as stated, while the freight rate on lumber is about thirty per cent.higher then it was at this time last year.A prominent steamship man stated this morning that at the old price it did not pay to take out an exclusive cargo of deals.ey were taken to fill up with, and that was all, Now, however, the rate was such that a complete cargo could be taken with a good profit.It must be remembered, however, that the increase in freight rates did not represent all profit by any means The cost of operating a steamship this year wae considerably more than last.\u2018oal.which is certainly no inconsiderable part of a vessel's expense, was double the price of twelve months ago, and then again la- hour was higher, and marine insurance no ess.\u2014\u2014_ \"té THE LATE MRS.GRENIER.Mra.Jacques Grenier, wife of ex-Mayor Grenier, died to-day at her residence, 63 St.Denis street, at the age of 74 years asd eight months.Her name before marriage was Miss Marie Loyise Fernet.The funeral is to take place on Monday morning next at nine o\u2019clock, te Notre Dame Chur: of which Mr.Grenier has a warden, and je one of the leading parishioners.The decensed lady was of a very retiring dispo- sitoin and during the long tenure of office of her husband as alderman and as mayor of the city she was very seldom seen at the City Hall except upon the occasion of hia inabiguration as mayor of the city or other great occasions, Mrs.Gre nier was very charitable and did much good among the poor.She had kept up to the last many old customs of the ladies of Montreal of a former period and could be seen on market days down at the Bonse- cours market attending to her duties as a good housekeeper.a custom which was observed by the Jndies of a former pegiod- Her death will be sincerely regretted.by a large circle of friends.TO CHOOSE GRAIN STANDARDS.Names of Montrealers on Committee Appointed by Dominion .Government.The secretary of the Montreal Board of Trade has received from the Dominion Government a memorandum giving the names of the committee selected for the purpose of choosing wheat and other grain standards.The twelve members, and Montreal is represented by Messrs.E, F.Cralg, Alexander McFee, and Charles B.Egdalle.The duty of the board Is choosing standards for all grain grown east of Port Arthur.eel TO FATTEN POULTRY.Prof.Robertson Establishes a Station at Lancaster, Ont.rof.Robertson, Commissioner of Agriculture, has during the prosent week established a statlon for the fattening of poultry for the British market on the farm of A, 8.McBean, Lancaster, Ont.The primary obfect of the Government in ez- tablishing these and other stations la to demonstrate in a practical way tt there is good profit in raising and fattening poultry for the British market.A INJURED AT BT.HENRI \u2018The Notre Dame Hospital ambulance was called this morning to St.Ellz atreet, St.Henri, for a young girl named Yeontine Dubois, who was run ovèr by a cart and had her right arm fractured.Bhe was attended to at the hoapital.\u2014< \u2014 pt EE RAILWAY PERSONALS.Mr.Frank Bowman, travelling passenger agent of the Chicago and Alton Rallway, 1s in the city.!

morning reviewed the situation in China as follows: The official Japanese report stating that the allies captured the Imperial ity on the 16th of August only to find that the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the.chiefs of Mancha pdrty had escaped previously, has not caused much surprise here.It was hardly expected that the Empress and her councillors would allow themselves to caught.The difficulties of the situation are gencrally regarded as increased by the escape oi these important personages, since the allies will now have to discover or invent a de facto- government for China, if they desire to begin negotiations.The attitude of the British Foreign Office, however, at the present time, is one of expectation and-deliberation.I believe it is not too much to say that they have no definite plans for a future settlement, but are awaiting to hear the reports of Sir Claude Macdonald, Sir Robert Hart and General Gaselee, by whose opinions they will be largely guided.General satisfaction ~ig-felt \u201chere\u201d at the close association of the British and American troops on the march and in the final assault.It is remembered that it was in China that the famous \u201cBLOOD Is THICKER THAN WATER\u201d saying was first uttered, and Admiral Seymour\u2019s interesting letter published yesterday is nlso hailed with delight.The sudden death of Yuan Shi Kai, Governor of Shan Tung, in the midst of the present crisis, has naturally given rise to the suspicion of foul play.Chinese officials who have fallen out of favour, either with the ccurt or the secret societies, are apt to disappear suddenly.Nothing, however, is kpown of the circumstances of Yuan Shi Kai\u2019s death to support this theory.For the.ESCAPE OF EMPRESS DOWAGER PREVENTS A SPEEDY PEACE.the last two or three months the Governor of Shan T has been the intermediary between the Pekin officials and the outer world, All the legation messages and the reports transmitted by Sheng to the for eign consuls at Shanghai have come through his office at Tsin Awau.He has played a somewhat ambiguous part, keeping up relations both with the foreigners and the reactionary party at Pekin.Recently he has shown a distinct tendency to join the moderate and reforming side, and so may have incurred the enmity of Prince Tuan and the violent faction.SITUATION REVIEWED AT 6 AM.News from Peliæ comes slowly and in fragments.It is tolerably certain, however, irom such reports as have been received that relief for the foreigners in the legations came not a moment too soon.A erman semi-official telegram from Taku states that on account of the great disorder the capital has been divided into various sections.The northern half of the Tartar City has been placed under the surveillance of the Japanese troops, while committees have been appointed by the Russians, Americans and French officers to maintain or- | der in their respective sections.-.1 There is no news of the -whereabouts of the Empress Dowager.The Standard says it is a fact she fled from Pekin with the Emperor and the chief members of\\ the Tsung Li Yamen before the arrival ol the allied forces.This destroys all hope of bringing the erisis to a y conclusion by forcing terms upon the de facto govern ment of the country.From Berlin it is announced that Germany does not recognize Li Hung Chang's authority to act as a representative of the Chinese Government.An Express telegram from Vienna says that the large Russian force sent to Manchuria is being constantly increased by heavy drafts, and it is stated in Odessa that within six or seven weeks Russia will have 350,000 men in the Far East.WASHINGTON, D.C.August 23.\u2014The State Departmept this morning made public the following correspondence: Chinese correspondence, August 21-22,1900.(Handed to Mr.Adee by .Wu, August , 1900\u201410.15 em.) i Cablegram dated August 19, from Vice roy Li Hung ang was transmitted by the Chinese minister in London and received by Mr.Wu on the night of the same dav.It was declaration of all of the ministers for foreign affairs of the t powers that the expedition of the allied troops was solely for the rescue of the ministers in Pekin.Now, the allied troops having entered Pekin and found all the ministers safe, it seems proper that hostilities should at once cease and that negotiations should commence.I therefore request the United States Government to appoint an envoy with full powers or appoint the minister now in Pekin for the purpose, as he is ne- cesmarily acquainted with the affairs he.tween Chinese and foreigners, and to inform me if the conference will take place in Pekin.After receipt of a definite re- py I will at once proceed nt.I await reply.(Received at the

Capital and the Chinese Government shows its ability and willingness to make on its part an effective suspénsion of hostilities there and elsewhere in China.When this is done\u2014and we hope it will be done promptly\u2014the United States will be prepared to appoint a representative to join with the representatives of the other similarly interested powers and of the authoritative and responsible

(Special to the Star.) .PARIS, August 23.\u2014 The new plan for the concentration of French troops under Gen.Voyron in Tonquin is believed to have been brought about through th: Government\u2019s desire not to allow an opportunity to certain persons to attack the Ministry for making the- French general shb- \u201csérvient to a German.Now that Pekin has \u2018fallen the French troops under
