NEW YORK, August 28.\u2014 The London correspondent of the Tribune, reviewing the war situation at an early hour this morning, said: \u2018Lord Roberts\u2019 despatches announce what many people here take to be the beginning of the final stage of the South African campaign.The Commander-in-Chief held a council of war with Generals Buller, French and Pole-Carew on Saturday, and on Sunday began a general attack on Gen.Botha\u2019s entrenched position, on which not much impressipn had been made by the preliminary operations of the previous few days.|.The Boers have chosen a line of defence of great natural strength, stronger, in fact, .than any they have held since they fell k from the Tugela River.Their forces hk dispersed among a formidable chain of hill country.extending over a frontage of ~ nearly thirty miles, their flanks resting on ~purs of broken ground protected by morasses.The British advance began on the west to the north of Belfast, from which place the Doers fell back towards the Ly- - road.depburs Roberts reports that the Boes are making a most determined resistance, in a locality well adapted for their defensive tac- Children Cry for CASTORIA.tics and badly suited for cavalry movements, Some experts think that this is really Gen.Botha's last stand, and if defeat~d here he will be completely crushed.Lord Roberts\u2019 superiority in numbers is so great that he may probably attempt to work right round the Boers and drive them from their position by menacing their line of retreat.To judge from previous experiences, it is very unlikely that the Boers would stay long enough to permit this manoeuvre to be accomplished.On Sunday the Boers again renewed the attempt on Wynberg, but were beaten off, leaving among the prisoners captured by the British, Gen.Olivier, whose famous march from Cape Colony to the northeast rn section of what is now Orange River lony, was\" one of the notable episodes of the campaign last spring.Meanwhile the Boers are themselves busy in endeavouring to raid Lord Roberts\u2019 communications bagh in the Grange River Colony and in Natal.At Wynberg, in the neighbourhood of the scene 6f some of Gen.Dewet's exploits, a body Imperial Yeomanry was in difficulties under an attack from a considerable force of Boers last Friday.They were rescued by reinforcements hastily sent up from Krconstad and Heilbron.To judge by the fact that heavy reinforcements have been ordered tq prepare to embark for South Africa during the next few days, the English War Office does not yet believe that the warlike operations are dawning to a conclusion.DEWET NEAR HEILBRON.J Loxpox, August 28.\u2014A despatch from Pretoria of yesterday's date says De Wet is reported to be in the neighbourhood of Heilbron.} a - SAFE SUMMER DRINKS FOR THE HOT SPELL.1,000 dozen guarts and pints \u201c\u2018Club\u201d Claret.i « sem eos sue Quarts.«.con ser Pints.coves ses orn coe vuevn00 sem esr veu ses ees wen $6 00 per dozen 3 00 per dosen 1.000 dozen quarts and pints \u201cMargaux\u201d Claret.\u2019 Pints.oo.ces Light and wholesome Summer Drinks, «+.+.$ 00 per dozen .«\u2026 .200 per dozen THE \u201cFEIST\u201d RHINE AND MOSELLE WINES, 18 pint bottles of Felst's \u201cBekt\u2019 $ + 5 quart bottles of Felst's \u201cSekt 3 cases 4 cases Fe Bparkling Hock.\u2026.oo oer LL.Lu.75 per dozen pints, or $16.13 for the lot.+ Sparkling Hock.J at « ogelle, \u201cSilver Star,\u201d in quarts .at FelsUs celle, \u201cSliver Star,\u201d in pints .at $22.50 pe les of Felst'a Sparkling Moselle, \u2018\u2018Silver Star.We are anxious to reduce the stock before Fall importations arrive, and now offer : 1 case Felst's \"Sekt\" Sparkling Hock, in pints, At.Lo.eine, 1.50 per case of 2 dozen pints 38.13 for the lot $20.50 per case r case at .$14.50 for the lot 15 PR fro 10 per cent.discount for spot cash to any party cleaning out any one or more of the above lines.13 cases Niersteiner.rsteiner.= ë Canes eC erateiner Halle .Vintage of 1895.se (From Prince Bismarck's Estate.) teiner Hall .Vintage of 1895.ve an 3 cases Bebexheimer .\u2026 Vintage of 1593.7 cases .Vintage of 1883.B bottles cases î cases Forster umilch.Liebfra Kirchenstuck.Vintage of 1893.Vintage of 1808., ._.iobtradmileh.lll Vintage of 1889.!1 7 (Fetst's Own Growth.) fich.\u2026.Vintage of 1580.,.a LAebfranr i Vintage of 1889.22!

OTTAWA, August 28.\u2014Dr.A.E.James, Albert street, has reccived a letter from Pte.R.R.ompson, of \u201cD\u201d Company.The latter modestly relates the story of his going to rescue Pte.Chas.Wassel at Paar- deberg.Pte.Wassel died afterward.Pte.Thompson, after telling of the battle, says: \u201cAbout half an hour afterward C'apt.Rogers espied through hie glasses a fellow about 400 yards distant.He was trying to make the trenches, although badly wounded.Capt.Rogers gave me his glasses to see if I could distinguish who it was.I saw him f and rise again and then fall.Then I jumped over the trenches, although ordered back by Capt.Rogers, and made as hard as I could for the place where the poor fellow lay.I got there without being bit, but the poor fellow died just as I grasped his hand.He Just gave one \u2018Oh, my God!\u2019 and his head fell back.He was shot four times, the last one evidently getting him Tight under the heart, as there was a tiny Mauser bullet hole there.I got back to the trenches in safety and handed his purse over to Capt.Rogers and gave his name.He was a corporal in the French company.Capt.Kogers informed me three days later that he had reported me for distinction to the colonel.\u201d DEATH DEPLETES A CLUB.Within Four Years 17 of the 21 Members Have Met Violent Deaths.CAMDEN, N.J., August 28.\u2014The \u201cTwen- ty-one\u201d Club was organized here in 1890.In the last four years seventeen of the twenty-one men for whom covers were laid at the banquet the night of organization have met violent deaths.The remaining four are convinced that a tragic end is sure to be also their portion.John Gibbs, the seventeenth victim, was huried yesterday.The four surviving members of the club carried his coffin to the grave.As they did so they recalled Gibbs\u2019 own words, uttered a year ago, when four members were killed in one boating acci- nt: \u201cI guess, boys,\u201d Gibber-said \u201cwe are all doomed to violent death.\u201d \u2019 While walking in a lumber yard, nine months ago, Gibbs stepped on a rusty nail.It seemed at first a trifling injury.Even the doctor upbraided his patient for taking u serious view, A \u201cYou're not going to die,\u201d said the phy- siclan; \u201cyour foot is only a little hurt, that's all.What's the use of borrowing trouble\u201d \u201cBut I am going to die,\u201d Gibbs would answer stubbornly.Then he would add, Cou know I belong to the \u2018Twenty-one u And to the great amazement of the medical man, lockjaw ret in, days after the accident, and, despite all the remedies known to science, Gibbs died last Monday.OBJECT OF THE CLUB.All the twenty-one men who formed the club bad been companions since youth.They gathered together purely in sentiment to keep green the friendship formed in childhood.When their school days were over they all entered business in this city, with the exception of one member, who went west several years ago.This man was the first to die.He came to Camden with his bride for his honeymoon.The two were standing on a wharf.She playfully struck at him.In dodging the bridegroom stepped backward and fell in front of an incoming boat.He was crushed to_death before the eyes of his bride.In the four years since this accident put the Twenty-one Club in mourning there have been sixteen other deaths.e four members who were killed at one time in a boating accident were capsized in the river and then carried by the current under the wheels of a passing ferry boat.The aggre- gute number of members drowned at year was six.Four weeks after the bridegroom was killed another member was thrown from a horse and his neck broken.The following year two members were gunning, and one accidentally shot the other.is very man who killed his friend was shot in a similar accident a year Jater.One member was killed in a railroad wreck, another fell from a scaffold, and a third was run over by a trolley car.In Atlantic City last rummer one of the members was suffocated hy gas in a hotel.This waa the fifteenth death.George Blank, the sixteenth, while attempting to board a rapidly-moving Reading train last week, fell from the stepe and was crushed.BRAVE SAMUEL STEIN'S END.Toronto Man\u2019s Noble Effort to Save Young Lady Cost Him His Life.TORONTO, August 28.\u20148amuel Stein, aged 23, living at 114 Centre avenue, sacrificed his life yesterday in an heroic attempt to rescue a drowning young lady, who was brought ashore little the worse of her adventure by another bystander.; Miss Mary Miller and a party of youn Jadies aummering at Fisherman's Island tried to swim across a channel leading into Ash- bridge's marsh, where the current ia strong.Miss Miller cried out for help and sank.Stein, who was fishing on the share, pulled off his boots and jumped in without removing anv of his clothes.He made for Misa Miller.but just before he reached her, Terrence Holland, another\u2019 fisher, threw his line from a boat and the hook caught in the drowning girl's hair.By this! means she was dragged within reach by Holland and brought ashore unconscious.Stein took cramps while Holland was thus engaged and went down like a log.cot , MR.HAMILTON WILL DEVOTE HIMSELF TO ART.WINNIPEG, Man.August 28.\u2014L.A.Hamilton, Land Commissioner of the Canadian Pacific Railway, confirma the report that he has resigned his position.and that \"he would he succeeded by F.T.Griffin, the present istant 1 ssioner.Mr.Hamilton will take up his residence in Toronto,\u201cand henceforth will devote himself almost entirely to art painting.this having been his favourite pursuit for El a ve.\u2018 LORD WOLSELEY'S TENURE OF OFFICE.\u2014 .It is Believed the!

for instance, probably Mr, Whitney would have an advantage of fully $1 a ton over Mr.Carnegie, on Lake Superior ore.Even supposing thev had to use the Lake Superior ore iron conld be made cheaper -in Sydney than in Pennsylvania.On Wednesday reveral of the collieries of the Dominion \u2018Coal Company were inapect- ed and a visit was made to the interesting ruins of the historic old fort at Louisburg.On Thursday the party were entertained to a tin through the beautiful Bras d'Or chain of lakes, landing in the evening a!

there war no better servant in the whole range of the border moorland.In the service of the old Squire he had lcst a couple of fingers, when a gun burst in his band, mn a poaching affray.And the new Squire himself owed him a debt of gratitude which be was actually thinking oc repaying by a money present at the very time Giles demanded the dismissal of this man.as a part of the price of his non-dis- closure of the great secret he had been for tunate enough to surprise.It had come about in this way.Stephen, as a boy of about fiteen, was bathing in the river Cannock, which ran through a part of the Wrottisley Chase property; Jabez was trout fishing in mid stream with long fishermen's boots on, a little lower down, just above a dip in the river of about twenty feet deep on to a rocky basin, Stephen had dived two or three times from the bank, and had gone on shore, meaning to do the same again.Thia time, however, a bit of the bank, on which his foremost foot rested, gave way under him, and instead of leaping out into midstream, he fell close in shore, striking his head heavily on the pebbly bottom of the Cannock.The blow mede him: insensible, and he floated down stream \u2018towards the twenty- foot fall.The gamekeeper saw nothing of the affair, as the Cannock took a sharp turn just above him; but happened to look up as the young master\u2019s body came swirling round the corner in mid-stream Jabez was standing in the shallows; but a couple of yards from him the main stream deepened to a depth about equal to his own height.A man, however, who faces danger of some sort every working day of his life, as a gamekceper does, or did in a carefully poached district, thinks little of such things.Ja stepped out into midstream, swallowed a few pints of fresh Can- nock water, and managed, half-choked, to drag Stephen out of bis imminent danger, end to save his own skin in spite of the heavy boots which hampered bis move ments.Stephen wus not a person easily affilicted with gratitude; but the rescue was effected when his heart was young, and his nature not as yet quite macadamised.Besides, your life is not saved every day.So, if he felt anything akin to a grate ful sentiment to any person in the wide world, that feeling animated the new Squire of Wrottisley Chase towards his own head gamekeeper.Neither is the sense of justice ever quite dead in the worst of us.There was something flagrantly unjust in dismissing the best of servants without rhyme or reason on a day's warming.But ded to this were special stings, upon which Giles Underwood had counted greedily when he put the proposition before Stephen.The time of the year was simply an ini quitous one in which to fake the change, to choose deliberately to make the change, as the transaction would appear to the man turned out.No one who has not mixed up with sporting life in one of the shires oi England can estimate for a moment the intensity of the interest felt by those per sonally responsible for the state of the game preserves, whether they be shocked with big or little game, deer, pheasants, hares, partridges, grouse, or what not, but perhaps specially the last, because it is the wildest, and presents the greatest variety from various causes from year to year\u2014now almost overstocked, strong and healthy on the wing, affording capital sport to the true sportsman, now scanty, diseased, disappointing.We have some idea what anxiety attends the training of an important racer for some great meeting at which there is every chance of his carrying off the honours of the principal event.nsfer that thought to the head keeper of a large estate just before the shooting season commences, and you have a just idea of what he feels; his nightly and daily\u2014we place them in that order advisedly\u2014anxiety until the opening day actually comes.Then, when success crowns his\u2019 efforts, when, as it were, his horse, to carry on the same metaphor, is being led in to the weigh- mg enclosure first past the post, when the master expresses cordial approval and the tips of the guests show that they are satis fied too, when the bags are full to repletion and yet there are hundreds of.more birds crying out for some one to come and shoot them.the anxiety of the immediate past is amply rewarded; and the year is crowned with well-earned satisfaction.Jabez Gillard had all these feelings and more; for the old Squire, although a strict preserver, had not of late years shot over his awn moors, and the last couple of seasons only the keepers themselves had done a Title of the necessary thinning out.This year there was a master who, whatever his faults, possessed virtues which went some way towards compensation amorlg a sport: \u2018ng community.He was a first-rate sportsman, and not one of his men, no not Jabes Gillard himself, was a better shot.The anticipations, then, as Stephen Fleet- wood knew, of his head gamekeeper ran high; they were complimentary to himself m a way a man always specially appreciates.' It was a refinement of cruelty to dismiss him the first week in August, with the Twelfth, for which so many months had spent in incessant and vigilant pre- aration, looming large in the immediate uture.: But that was not all.The bitterest drop in the cup remained.Jabez Gillard was to be dispossesesed to make room for Gi M.HICKS & C0.\u20198 SALES.PRIVATE SALE A choice selection of Turkish, Indian and Persian Rugs and Carpets.As we wish to close them out during this mouth, prices have been greatly reduced.M.HICKS & CO., Auctioneers 1821-1823 Notre Dame St.200° nty4 BONUSES OFFERED.TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.By resolution the Municipal Council for BENNING & BARSALOU\u2019S BALES.OPENING SALE FOR - THE FALL SEASON.EXTENSIVE TRADE SALE OF Staple and Fancy Dry Goods, ady-made Clo y n and Domestic Weollens, Tailorin Mousekceplns Linens, Hints and Caps, Bubber Coats, Fancy Goods, Underwear, Notions, Boots and Shoes, etc., etc., AT AECTION.The subscribers will sell at thelr salesrooms, Nos.88 und BS Bt.Peter street, on WEDNESDAY, nT A THURSDAY, 30TH A largo and varied assortment of Btaple and Fancy Dry Goods.consisting of Silks, Satluas, Velvets and Velveteens, Dress , Prints, \u2018hits and Oray Cottons, Fiannels, Woollons and Worsteds, Berges, Twveds, Braces, Hoslery.Underwear, and Notions, ing a c&sh value of $38,000.Iso (for account of Manufacturers and Tm- porters), 280 dozen Cotton.Flanneleite and Black Bhirts, 100 dozen Cotton Shirts and Drawers, 200 dozen Wool Shirts\u2019 and Drawers, dozen Hats and Caps, cases Woollens and Worsteds, Beavers, Chevtois, etc.100 pieces Forelgn and Domestic Tweeds, 20 pleces Berges, Navy Blue and Black, 10 pleces Brav- ors and Mackinaws, 18 pleces Overcoat Linings, 50 pleces Curtain Nots, , pieces Laces.10 bales White and Gray Cottons, 8 cases Housekeeping Linens, Towels, Napkins, atc., SOU yards Sheetings.50 dozen Silk \"ane kerchlefs, G0 dozen Wool Half Hose.Also, 300 lots Ready-made Clothing, Men's Youths\u2019, Boys\u2019 and Children's Suits, Coats and Vests, Trousers, elc., 2350 Rubber Coats, 60 doa#n Men's Soft Felt Hata Also, 150 cases Boots and Shoes, 300 pairs Ladies\u2019 and Children's Shoes, in hand and machine sewed.The whole to be sold.without reserve, in represent - MARCOTTE BROS.\u2019 SALES, TRADE SALE.On Wednesday, 229th instant, at T O'CLOCK A.M, We will sell at our EN JAMES STREET ROOMS, about 325,000,00 worth of assorted dry goods from bankrupt stocks.ress Goods, meres, cottonade prints, muslins, underwear, necktles, collars, gloves, hoslary, corsets, umbrellas, lace embroidery, hard- kerchiefs, top shirts, velvet, linings, buttons, silk.satin, curtaigs, chiffon, linens, towels, napkins, tablecloths, woollens, shawls, blouses, etc., etc.Also the bankrupt stock Qf Gagnon, $3.000.00 worth of millinery.flowers, feathers, trimmings, braids, buckles, ornaments, fancy goods, etc.Also tweeds, meltons, beavers, serges, linings, canvas, thread.ready made clothipg for men and boys, caps.etc.In lots to the trade and without reserve.Easy terms MARCOTTE BROS.200 *nty 8 Auctioncars.SALE OF MOVEABLES.IDAY.on the Thirty-first day of August Instant (1800), at nine am.at No.302 Centre street, in the City of Montreal.will be sold.by augtion, to the last mnd highest bidder, the househôid furniture, kitchen utensils, bakery tools, horses, carriages and other effects belonging to the community of property which was existing between Mr.Olivier Girard and te.Anne de Bellevue decided to offer bo- lots to sult the trade.RMS .For ticulars apply to tha undarsignad no- Ces (ad valorem) tn all bona fide manu- Sale Each Day at 10 aon , LIBERAI » tary, at No.58 St.James st, Montreal.facturing concerns locating in the said mu- BENNING & BARSALOU.;

the other was like the countryman who, coming to London to join, a procession, was asked what his polities were, answered that he did not know, but he was \u201cagen the Government.\u201d Those were Giles Underwood's sentiments to a Tj whatever the Government might happen to be in every department of life, he was \u201cagen it.\u201d Many and many a midnight encounter had been headed by these two men on opposite sides, Giles attacking, Jabez defending.The latter would, if he had the chance, have hung the former up to the nearest tree to \u2018\u2018encourage the rest,\u201d as he would a stoat, or a weazel, or a cat caught promenading the preserves.Now the faithful Jabez was to be deposed, dismissed without a day's grace, or the slightest notice, and the faithless Giles was to reign in his st \u2018The whole neighbour hood, as Stephen Fleetwood kuew well, entle and s:mple, whose favourable verdict or the first time in his life he had schemed to obtain, would cry shame upon him, and rightly.Tt was a bitter pill for both master and man to have to swallow.When Stephen woke up in the morning, he did so, to his credit be it said, with the fixed determination of seeing Giles Underwood in his own house, and finding out whether one part of the stipulation could not be dispensed with.Giles lived in a: large village, or small straggling township, just outside the Wrot- tisley estate, named Cannock End.There were a mill and a church and a school in Cannock End, and the cottages were grouped mainly about the three, the mill having the Jargest number of satelites.There are hundreds of such villages in Lancashire, Yorkshire, and the North of Der- byshire.Giles Underwood's house was at the end of the village nearest to Wrottisley Chase.It had been chosen, doubtless, on that account.The Squire would not have harboured Giles for a single day on the estate he owned, vet Giles lived off it, and consequently preferred to live near hrs daily read.; The reason of the seléction was sufficiently palpable and was very actively present in Stephen Fleetwood\u2019s mind as he walked up to the door of the detached cottage on the morning after Giles\u2019 nocturnal visit to the Moat House, ; Stephen's knock elicited a gruff \u201cCome mm.\u201d Giles lived alone, doing for himself, \u2018a dirty content.Although there were four rooms in the cottage, he only occupied one.The poacher was sitting crosswise on an arm-chair of stained deal, with hie legs over one arm.smoking a short, very deeply coloured clay pipe.It was evident that his objection to pipes did not extend to his own domain; for that pipe represented many hours of careful colouring.In one corner was a bed, with some filthy clothes recently thrown back, on a round rough table, without a cloth, were the remains of breakfast, consisting of two plates, one with bread and butter on it, by the side of half a loaf, and a quarter of a pat of butter.the othér with two or three heads -nd tails of herrings upon it and a broken-back- ed knife.There was also an earthenware tea pot, which seemed the gentleman of the party.Over the whole room floated an atmosphere of sacrificial herrings.iles was in his shirt sleeves.His boola were on, but not laced up.He occasionally took his pipe out of his mouth to afford facility to spit on the Hoor.It was of this man Stephen had come to ask a favour, to plead a slight remission of sentence.Truly the ways of transgressors are hard.Giles nodded familiarly as his new master entered, but did not change his attitude in any way.\u201cD\u2019ye do?Come to beg off, I suppose, I expected vou.Only wonder you haven* turned up sooner; not that you would have found me up.\u201d + erwood\u2019s eyes twinkled with licions satisfaction., (To be continued } Abingdon School, 1143 DORCHESTER STREET, MONTREAL.Headmaster, MR.T.RIDLER DAVIES, « B.A., Cantab, Assisted by Mr.Ashley Garrod, B.A., Oxon;

resointions were passed, one favouring the development of Canadian trade with the West Indica and the other advocating muttal preferential trade.between all the countries of the Empire.The Toronto Globe devotes a long editorial to the West Indian resolution, but says mothing about the other one.The Glpbe points aut that the Maritime Board of Trade \u201chas a membership from every important town and city in Nova Reotia and New Brunswick and is thoroughly representative of the bu- sincss and industrial interests of the Mari: time Provinces.\u201d The Globe evidently thinks that the Dominion Goverument should attach much importance fo the opinion of this representative body of business men on the ques tion of West Indian trade, but it does not explain why cqual importance should not be attached to their opinion regarding In- ter-lmperial Preferential Trade.It says these colonies can no doubt be brought into intimate commercial relationship with the Dominion if an active and determined effort is put forth in time by the Dominion Government.Referring especially to the island of Trinidad the Globe says: \u201cOur farmers and millers can compete with the Ahiericans in the open market, and a commercial preference would ensute to them a decided advantage.Qur Atlantic fisher jes rould supply the market now held by the United Btates and in many lines © manufactured goods a tariff preference would throw the balance of competition in favour of the Dominion.\u201d It shows that of the total trade of the British West In- dics, Canada, gets only a small proportion and it eays: \u201cA mutual preference that would throw the Lalance of advantage with the colonies would soon effect a decided change.\u201d This is all very true as the Star hag Êre- quently pointed out and the Conservative party are heartily in favour of mutual preferential trade with the British West Jo- dies.But why does the Globe ignore the other resolution passed hy the Maritinie Board of Trade in favour of mutual pre ferentinl trade within the Empire?Every argument that can be alranced in favour of mutuatl preferential trade bee tween Canada and Trinidad apelies with far yreater force to mutual preferential tride between Canada aud England.\u2018Lhe editor of the Maritime Morchant re centiy paid a visit to the British West Indies for the purpose of studying the question of the trade relations between Canada and those colonics, and he returned with the firm conviction that the way to develop trade relations betwcen Canada and the Bri- tieh West Indies is to get mutual preferential trade within the Empire, The chief objection which those colonies make to a prefercntial ayrangement with Canada alone is that the Canadian con sumption of tropical products is not yet gtest enough to take all they can produce.Trinidad, for example, claims that it could supply the whole of the Canadian demand dies were admitted to Cinada on the same terms the Canadian preference would be of little advantage to Trinidad.It might be pointed ont to the people of Trinidad, of course, that the population of Canada Ie rapidly increasing and that there will be a much greater demand for raw sugar in the future, but our cliances of succesa in negotiating with the British West Indies would be far greater if our Government.would promise to make an active and determined effort to secure mutual Imperial Preferential Trade which would give the sugat growers of the British West Indies the market of the United Kingdom as well as the market of Canada.It would wonderfully increase the prosperity of the British West Tudies, and as the preferential tariff would shut out American products from those islands the demand for Canadian food products and Canadian manufactured goods would be great.Unfortunately when the people of the British West Indies enquire as to what Canada is doing to promote luter-Imperial Preferential Trade they find that Sir Wilfrid Laurier advised the British Government not to give the colonies a preference and that every resolution in favour of mutual Imperia) Prefcrential Trade introduces in the Canadian Parliament has been voted down by the Liberal majority.esse THE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST CANADIAN PORTS.In the year 1898 the number of sen-going vessels arriving at the port \u201cof Montreal from the opening vf navigation until the middle of August was 336, and the Laurier Government chimed great crédit for the increase over the preceding year.Last year the number of arriv > up to the middle of August was oniy $80, and .this year for the corresponding period the number is only 421.Libe:al newsiapers whieh save the Government credit for the increase in 1595 are not holding the Mimsters responsible for the decline in 1599 and 1900.\u2018fhe chief cause of the decrease in the number nf ocean vessels arriving at this pert is the discrimination made by the British underwriters m insurance rates in favour of vessels bound to Amencan ports.It was the duty of the Government to get this discrimination against Canada removed, but they appear to have made no efforts to do so.\u2018This matter of insurance rates on vess2ls is an important one, not oniy for Montreal, but fer all Canadian ocean ports.How can Montreal, Queber, Halifax and St.John be expected tv compete with the rival American ports when vessels coming toe Canada must pay so much higher insurance rates.\u2018This matter demands enor getie action by the Government.re THE LAKE OF THE WOODS.A Winnipeg man wants to know why we did not include the Lake of the Woods among the lakes belonging to Manitoba, in an article in a recent number oi The Star, entitled \u201cOur Lady of the Lakes.\u201d For the very good reason that this charming lake is not within the Province of Mani: toba.The greater part of the lake is in Ontario, a small portion of it is in the United States, and a little corner of it touches Manitoba.There was quite an ex- viting dispute some years ago over the boundary between Manitoba and Ontario, and for aome time the people of the lively little town of Rat Portage did not know whether they lived in Ontario or Manitoba.The Privy Council finally decided in favour of Ontario, and Manitoba lost an extensive erea of land and water.However Ontario and Manitoba are part of one country, and the people of Manitoba, as Canadians, can claim common ownership with the people of Ontario in the Canadian section of this lands.Winnipeg is much nearer to the Lake of the Woods than Toronto is and, jt is already a popular sumnwr resort for Winnipeg people.But they will not be allowed to enjoy a monopoly of it in the future for the fame of the lovely lake is spreading throughout America, and thousands of tourists will visit it.While Manitobans cannot claim mole ownership in the Lake of the Woods, they can say that just as all the waters of the great lakes south of Ontario flow through the Province of Quebec ip the St.Lawrence River, so the Winnipeg River carries the waters of the Lake of the Woods to Lake Winnipeg in the Province of Manitoba.All the country between Port Arthur and Lake Winnipeg is full of lakes, rivers and waterfalls that must de: light many thousands of pleasure seekers in the future.AN ENTQMOLOGIST\u2019S REPORT.Of course the mosquito is an almost unknown \u201cbird\u201d in Montreal.In view of the possibility that in some occasional eu- ; burban garden a family of these interesting natural vegetnrfans, who so rapidly learn to love flesh dirt, may bé reposing, with intentions of increasing and multiplying, some facts garnered by the Department of Agriculture at Washington may have some interest.When you hear the mosquito sing his little cheerful ditty, like the musical hum of a distant eolian harp.and realire that hé in about to bite a piece out of the lobe of your ear, don't hit vourself s bang on the side of the head, with vengeful ire and a clenched fist.There, ate also more ways of killing 4 mos- anito than beating him with a clab when he eats your hand.Just bring your mind tô bear on the scientific aspect of the thing.Remember, that of two hundred and fif specien of mosquitoes only about thirty have been found in this country, but they have large families.The Washington Entomologist docs not go into early details, but it may be remarked, as supplementary to his information, that the mo:quito thrives and bas his three square meals a day in.the shady passes and bosxy dells .of the primitive forest.He inscrtd his warm beak into the tender leaves of the trees and fattens oh their succulent juices.When man approaches, the mosquito goes and tells his neighbours and they all come and have some: Don\u2019t deceive yourself with the idea that you are the sole prop of the little érea- ture who flutters so gaily about vou, as yon inhale the freshness of dewy eve on your gallery or doot step.He sucked.honey from honeysuckle and chewed bitterness out of wild grape vine before you came, and will go back to the food of his fathers after you have removed yoursslf and the temptations of the fleeh from his reach.As previously intimated %in the Star, the moequite deposits \u2018eggs in stil water, for raw eugar and have some to spare, and shat if sogar from all the British West In- * whero these little rafts float arpund, hatch out, and the young take to the air to seek @ enchanting lake with its many lovely is- out plants and people.Hence the more wet weather we have, the ncarer to the haunta of civilization will the mosquite\u2019s incubators be.Therefore, it has been recommended that a little coal vil thrown in the swill-barrel and in ditches containing water will work marvels, coal oil being one of the best insecticides, and poisoning the mos- quitors as fast as they see dazlight- Among fruit trces the spraying with 82 emulsion made of coal oil, soap and watsr is an effective means of killing insects.Would this course pursued with the rreep- ers and shrubs about houses not kill the mosquitoes, who live among the foliage when not engaged in sampling humanity?However, to get back to the Washington Entomologist\u2019s report, issued last week, the Alaskan mosquito is described as tbe most ferocious and even dangerous of the species.Then it is interesting to know the way the little pets happen to get from the lowlands and swamps up to the highlands is by following and getting on board trains and suburban street cars.Sce how they utilize the resources of man\u2019s genius.When the strange mosquito likes the flavour of the people she finds herself among, the forthwith goes to the nearest available water\u2014a very small puddle will do\u2014 makes an egg raft, and raises a family of a few hundred or so.The report says that, of the remedies in use in houses, the burning of pyrethrum powder and the catching [ of mosquitoes on the walls in kerosene cups are probably the best, next to a thorough screening and mosquito bars about one\u2019s bed.The remedies for bites mentioned are glveerine, a lump of indigo dnd household ammonia.: .It looks now as though Count Waldersee might reach China in time to be present at some fighting by the allied forces he is in command vf after all.Spain looks upon the present troubles and responsibilities of the other powers in China with somewhat of the feeling of the man who had been trying to carry a heavy business load for years, had been pounced upon by some big creditor and now sees the creditor struggling with his old load.The United States has acquired Spain's property and cares in the East.The ycar book for 1899, prepared under the direction of Mr.George Johnson, Dominion Statistician, has just been published.It is a very valuable book for anyone who wishes to obtain statistical information about Canada, past and present, without much trouble.It is much later this year than usual, owing to the fact that nearly all the Ministers were very late in bringing down their reports.The political speech_rccorda_ for phonographs and various kinds of \u201c\u2019ophones\u201d are becoming features of the trade in the neighbouring republic and will soon be with us.With abiding faith, the people can rapturously hcar the voice of their favourite candidate as they sip iced beer from a porcelain stein, or draw in ice cream soda through a waxed paper straw.The man who made the speech may be a worker in a wax record factory.but he gives an orotund tone to his voice, talks well-recognized platitudes, and we all marvel.The pardoning of Carl Fischer by Governor Rooseveit, of New York, cannot fail to attract some comment.The prisoner was sentenced to seventeen years for robbery in the first degree, committed in New York.After he had served between eight and nine years he was bequeathed $17,000, snd his mother has secured a pardon from the Governor to enable her to take him to Germany to enjoy his inheritance.The Governor thought he had been éufficiently punished and let him go.It is quite possible if his inheritance had come in years gone by.the temptation to be dishonest might pret have come upon him.The question suggests itself, however, if his mother had asked to have him pardoned because she was poor and needed him to protect and keep her in her declining years, would dhe have secured his release?a THE MILITIA WAS NEEDED.(Special to the Star.)

Ha! ay.The statement is made that 2700 electors of the locality are banding them- seives together to combat the Government unless this promise is fulfilled.In: the city of Quebec there in also great indignat- tion at the sacrifice of Quebecors\u2019 interests by the Government in the matter ol the proposed\u2019 railway to James Bay.There is a standing offer before the Government and has been for a long time past, from responsible parties, offering to build the road from Lake St.John to James Bay, without a cent of provincial subsidy at all.providing the ordinary land grant alone is given.The Government continues to refuse the offer, while that of Ontario has subsidized a company which is about to construct -an independent read of its own to James Bay, cutting the Province of Quebec out of its own productive back country and securing to Ontario a seaport whic for three or four months of the year may be used by that province and the west to the prejudice of Montreal and Quebec.PREMIER MACDONALD COMING.Will Leave Winnipeg on Sept.7 and be Present at Sir Charles\u2019 ; Out a ARE ody EG, Man., August 28\u2014Pre- mier Macdonald stated yesterday that he would leave Winmipeg September 7, and be in Mentreal on mceting will be held t and Mr.Foster./ METHODISTS APPROVE Of the Action of the Manitoba Government in Adopting a Prohi- .\u2018 bitory Law.(Special to the Star.)

present indications it seems as it the back of the hot wave would be broken in the very neur future.The weather man reports that thunderstorms have become pretty general throughput Ontario and the North-West.und a¥ a result the temperature has fallen very perceptibly.Out in the North-West they bave been having exceptionally cold weather for this time of the year, the maximum and minimum readings at several points along the C.P.KR.being as follows for the past 24 hours: Calgary, 64, 30; Qu\u2019Appelle, 58, 42, Winnipeg, 66, 44; Kamloops, 66, 52; Victoria, 66, 52.These figures give some idea of the cold wave which is now coming eastward in the wake of the termfic beat under which Montrealers bave suffered for the past few ays.To-day\u2019s weather is fairly comfortable although a great many will admit that it still remains warm enough to take the starc put of a shut bosom.The highest thermometer reading to-day was 79 at two o'clock.Yesterday the maximum temperature was 86 degrees and the minimum 72.On the same date last vear the highest and lowest readings were respectively 80 and 56 «degrees.1e humidity yesterday was much below that of Sunday and Saturday At McGill

reading for this date was 73 degrees.On Friday, the day on which the hot wave was first felt, the maximum and minimum readings were respectively 80.4 and 71 degrees.So that on Friday, Saturday and Sunday the mean was pretty high.Sunday was the warmest av ot the present season, and the thermomcter readings for that dav will therefore prove interesting.They are as follows: 1 am.73 degrees; 3

Recent Trip.i Charles Dooley and the Montreal Base ball team are in town again after an absence of twenty-two days and begin a series of thirty-three games at home thin afternoon with Syracuse.In conversation with a Star representa tive this mornimg Captain Dooley sad that he was well satistièd with the work vf the team.The men were duing excellent work and the team was playing steadily, but they had run into a losing rut and were unable to win more games.\u201cThe present team\u201d said Captain Dooley, \u201cis a superior one to that which won the pennant and is fifty per cent stronger at the bat and vet they are low down in the list.Our first two games away from home were lost at second base cach day.Johnson was absent owing to Uhe illness of his wife and we suffered hard luek in various ways in our opening games.Yet we did excellent work against the leaders.One game In Hartford was protested because O'Laugh- lin would not call it in order to allow us the hour which existing teams are entitled to in order to çatch trains.\u201d Referring to \u201cthe schedule \"The Captain said: \u201cThe arrangement of the schedule has worked hardships against many of the clubs.A month at home and a month away is a pretty poor arrangement.A team that is having a hard run away will most likely continue to do so, and by the time that they are home again their supporters have been almost alienated from the game.A two weeks\u2019 trip and two weeks at home would make a much better schedule.\u201d Speaking of the work of the team Captain Dooley said: \u201cThe outfield is working splendidly.Garry is doing excellent work and Odwell, Delehanty and Garry can cover more ground than almost any other set in the league.Garry is a left hand batter and has been up against several left hand pitchers and so has not been able to make good with the bat, but his work will please the local people.\u201d Captain Dooley\u2019s hand is not in coudi- tion to permit of his plaving and Lezotte will continue on the bag until the Captain.feels fit again.MR.O'BRIEN BEGINS WORK.The New Superintendent of the La- chine Canal Assumes His / Duties.The appointment of Mr.Dennis O'Brien as superintendent of the Lachine Canal has been confirmed, and Mr.O'Brien has assumed the duties of his office./ It will be remembered that somethin like two months ago the appointment the present superintendent was made, o but | owing to internal disruptions among Montreal Liberals, Mr.O'Brien never assumed office.lt was mainlv through the instrumentality of Mr.James McShane that the appointment of Mr.O'Brien was made, but it did not suit a number of Liberals, for they did not consider Mr.O'Brien sufficient of a party man, though at the same time they were compelled to acknowledge that he was fully qualified for the position.The organization known as the Reform Club in Montreal had a nominee in the person of Mr.Halley, and while this gentlé- man was in no way personally objectionable, it was considered by the trade that he was not qualified.Then, another candidate or two loomed into view.The contention was fought out and now Mr.McShane scores a signal victory by having his man\u2019s ap pointment.confirmed.Mr.O'Brien has had a long and active career on the Canadian waterways.\u201d At different times he has heen superintendent of construction on different

was with difficulty that he scraped together the money to pay his expenses and sufficlent with which to live until he could earn a few dollars.He comes back to pay & short visit to frierds, and is now able to sign a cheque for 3200.000.\u2014a cheque that will be hnnoured by hia bank.Mr.Turner says that it is greatly a auestion of luck as well as hard work tn THE CITY MUST PAY UP.Taxpayers are Mulcted for the Transport of the Field Battery.TO ST.HELEN'S ISLAND UNDER THREAT OF LOSING THE RIVER PARK.The chairman of the Parks Conamittee, Ald.Gagnon, being seen this morning by a tar reporter as to why the claurie, making it necessary for the Richelieu C'ompany to carry the militia free to St.Helen's ls and, had not been inserted in tbe new contract between the city and tlie company, he said: \u201cThe fault that the clause is not in the contract at present is not the city\u2019s.\u201cFormerly the clause was in all such contracts, but this year the R.& O.Company was the only tenderer for the ferry service between the city and St.Helen's Island, and it refused to enter into any ag reement © with the city unless the militia was made .should arder to get rich in the Yukon.He claims that many men who have come back disheartened or have committed suicide when nn the verge of starvation, have been Ariven to 1t hv the mismanagement of af- fajre in general.Not that the Government could have brought about any more tnat- vidual! luck or have made men work any the harder.but those In authority could have and should have legislated so that «anal rights for all would have prevailed \u201cThis was not so,\u201d says Mr Turner, \u201cthere were favnurites who commanded the attention of the authorities, and were able to get concesstans that were unjus* frasmuch as they were refused to others, whn had an equal elalm but favouritism and monev snent In the right dir ation, can dn a great deal.\u2018There ts a great deal nf \u201cold In that reelon: and with British fair nlay and a palr of strong arms.backed with a Httle common-sense a man ought | bound, by n ta come out all right In a few years.\u201d to pay; they could not see why volunteers } be carried to the is'and free This ultimatum was not liked by the co mmittee but what could we do seeing the .rany was the only tenderer for the service.By refusing to ~omply with the demand of the company there vwsould be have been no service to the Island this summer; this, of course, could never be allowed.There was nothing for the city to do but enter into the arrangement proposed by the company.\u201d _ It is understood that at the next meeting of the Parks\u2019 Committee a pt oposition will be made that the city pay \u2018the fares of the militia to the Island, ser:ing that the Government has threatened to cancel the city\u2019s lease, which enables it to use about a half of the island as a pleasure : resort.The island is the property of the Government and it cla¥ms that t he citv is ement, to carry t'he militia to the island free of charge.SHIPPING NEWS, PORT OF MONTREAL.ARRIVED.Steamship Greetlands, Hy.Dobell and Co., Sydney.coal.Steamship Activ, Intercolonial Coal Co.Pictou, coal.CLEARED Steamship

INSTALMENTS Ten Thousand Dollars Voted for Repairs to the City Hall There was quite a warm discussion at the mecting of the City Council yesterday af- terncon over the proposition of the Finance Committee to vote the family of the late Recorder DeMontigny the sum of $5,000 It will be remembered that at the last session of the Legislature power was given the C'ity Council to vote such sum if it so desire d.In ; making the motion yesterday to grant the tum, Ald.Laporte, chairman of the Finance Committee, said the gift was one of tlusse which the city should certainly make.The late Recorder had served the city in the most faithful manner and some recognition should be given of such services.The speaker also pointed out that for yews Mr.DeMontigay had got through with all the work of the court when really two re corders (as therc are at present) were 1:eeded.By the deceased doing the entire work he had saved the corporation a very lige amount of money.One of the main nzasons why the sum should be granted waa that the deceased had left a large family, and left it far from well off.Under these circumstances the sum should certainly be voted, It was shown that the sum wéuld be paid the widow of the de- censed in ten yearly instalments.It was proposed mow by Ald.Lavallee that sed ing the city did not intend giving the wid ow the sum in a Jump she should allow ed an additional 4 per cent.inter est while the city was holding the money.Ald.{ladler\u2014*I certainly do not agrce with suc h a proposition, The Finance Committee, «only after a long debate of the matter.came to the conclusion that the sum shauld be voted.If this motion is passed it will mean that the five thousand will_neve'r be voted.\u201d It was the opinion of Ald.Chaussc thai the sum .should not be voted at all.»f the family ol\" one employe was voted money under sw th circumstances other familics would cls im it; the precedent was certainly a one.Again, the city was in bad way for ynoney for sidewalks and the sum of five th ousand would do much to better the sidew alks.He would certainly have to vote ag ainst the proposition to hand over this large \u2018amount.1d.Ra y also opposed the voting of the sum; the precedent, as Ald.Chausse had pointed og t.would not he a good one.moncy of the corporation should be as carefully guarded as though it were their own.If tiny sum should be granted it should centainly be nothing like five thou- san After son re further discussion Ald.Laval- Jee withdr 'w his motion to add four per cent per agwmum to the five thousand, and then a vot.» was taken on the main motion to gran t\u2018the amount.This motion was carried by - 15 to ll.The voting was as follows: Ayes\u2014Lap orte, Lariviere, Gagnon, Brunet, Jacque:s, Sadler, Gallery.Lamarche, Raby,

Lesperance\u2014ll.REPA IRS TO CITY HALL.There was also a warm discussion over the awarding of a ocomtract, amounting to about £9,600,f\\ or repairs to City Hall.e Finance Comu aittee recommended the contract be given to T.Charpentier, over that of Lambert & Fils, which was $22 lower, on the ground' that the former had done much good wa rk for the city, and was, in fact, lower in his contrac, considering that had the p rice of Lambert & Fils for bracing up the floor been included, their contract would have been several hundred dollars higher \u2018than Mr.\u2018 Charnenter\u2019s.In a short meech, Ald.Sadler showed that Mr.was certainly the lowest tenderer, am 1 that it would be an injustice to give th e contract to any one\u201celse.On the other È and, it was contended, by Ald.Brunet, ths-t Lambert & Fils sbould be given the contract.Council decided, however,by a very large majority, that Charpentier was ents tled to be awarded the contract.Ald.Chausse gi ve notice of motion that in future the citys should not pay for heating or lightis'g the houses of any of its employes.Ald .Chausse is opposed to the city paying at y extras\u201d to any civic employes, and hol that salaries of all employes \u2018should bs such that the city would have nothing * to do with the lighting and heating of theyr A motion was als 0 made by Ald.Chaus se asking that mog ey be taken from the of 1901, for the laying of sidewalks at the presez :t_time.A letter from Mr, Robb, City Treasurer, showing that only free or four laundries.out of some 200, ha d paid the special $50 Jaundry tax, was le ft over till the next meeting for consider, ation.sare adjourning a report was read from the City Attor neys upon a point of order raised by Ald.Lamarche, It was whether a committee report could put off by a member till.next morning, at any other than a regnlas- meeting.The City Attorneys after carefg lly reviewing the case decided that it was {he right of members to use that privilege at any meeting.\u2014 Jp AFTER THE LAUNDRYMEN.Police Will Strive to Make Deliquent Chinamen Pay L'p $50 Tax.There is likely to be more trouble for the Chinese in the city w ho-are in the laundry business.As is kné wn, there is now a 850 tax on laundries, a :d, although there are some two hundred laundries in the city, the tax has only |jeen paid by aix laundries for the current year.The resuit of this has been that ths police have recently got orders to wait on all the laundries in the city and no ify their owners that unless the tax is paid i'egal proceedings will be taken against them.A number of Chinese wi 2re recently imprisoned by the city on acct 'unt of not having paid the tax for 1899.In the hope of staving ot Ÿ action- against the Chinese, various memb: irs of the City Council have received lett s asking them to vote for the abolition of -the tax, or at least vote for it being mt eatly reduced.The letters say that the ta x is so heavy that the Chinese really canm >t pay it, and that its orcement would be nothing short of cruelty.The matter 4 ill.no doubt, give rise to much discussion i n Council.NEW MAINS IN POA ITION.The officials of the Water Department have

MUSÎÏV.The Academy of.Music opened for the season last night with \u2018Very Little Faust\u201d as the attraction.The favourite old house has received sych generous treatment during the summer at the hands of decorators that it would be scarcely recognized by many of its patrons.The attraction is one with a mission to entertain, and it can be sald without hesitation that in that respect it is eminently successful.The characters of Goethe's \u201cFaust\u201d have been put to a variety of uses for some years past, but It is doubtful 3f more humour could be extracted from thelr adoption than by the company anpearing this week.The pice has musical merit and abounds {n fun, for which Mr.Otis Harlan Is the chief *\u201cauto- mobubble.\u201d\u201d Mr.Harlan has been seen here before, most recently -as the stranger in \u201cA Stranger in New York,\u2019 and it is no disparagement to Mr.Harlan to tell the public that he is seen to much better advantage this week than upon the other occasion.Mr.Harlan will no doubt permit it to be suggested that as a fun-maker of the sort, which are pretty prolific on the comic opera stage, he ought to rank as high, if not higher, than many of the men about whom much more is heard even if thelr notoriety is not fully merited.\u2018Very Little Faust\u201d is a travesty.in three acts, in which Richard F.Carroll had a hand in adapting to the present oc- That noted fun-maker has made much more of a farce of his work than 0 » © © © © © ® Exposition.The music has nothing Pa emmon with \u201cFaust,\u201d but nevertheless there are several catchy pleces provided, as told by the programme.by Herve and Fred.J.Eustis, with apologies to Goethe and Gounod.Not only Js there musical merit in the production, but fit 1s well Interpreted by Miss Kate Condon as Me- histo and Miss Mamie Gllroy as Marguer- te.The arrangement, so far as Miss Cons don was concerned, did not give the audl ence the opportunity to hear as much of her voice as they would have Hked.Miss Giiroy had better chances for a display of her vocal ability, and she accepted ail the chances without errors, as the baseball writer would say.Mr.Hugh Chilvers, who performed the part of Dr.Faust, has a pleasing baritone voice, which added much to the musical part of the entertainment.Several other members of the company gave evidences in what few opportunities were afforded them of possessing very fair ity.; vocal 25 rat act Marguerite is introduced to the school of Dr.Faust by her brother, Valentine, which is the character assumed by Mr.Harlan.The doctor fails in love th his fair pupil, and, according to the familiar legend, sells himeelf to Mephisto in order to regain youth and good looks 50 as to be the better able to win the love of Marguerite.Mr.Harlan has a better voice than many of the men who essay musical work on the comic opera stage, and his humourous way of singing hia ditties is infectious.It is not so much what he says, but the funny way he says it.His traves- tical songs of the warrior bold were well received.He js seen to funnier advantage in the second act, which is located on the Jardin d'Rouff.overlooking the Paris Exposition.His work with the Cabby.understood to be Phul, was the greatest mitth-creating episode of the evening, while the incidental ditties were irresistibly funny.The duel with Dr.Faust and the downfall of the brave Valentine were excellent examples of burlesque.The dancing of Mille.Prote in the second act was a distinctive feature and made a great hit.Miss Gilroy's song, \u2018Down in vers Lane,\u2019 was also a feature ol the second act.The fun was carried into the third act by Mr.Harlan appeariiig in the guise of a ghost, which afforded many opportun- {ties for comic scenes.The improvements which have been made in the Acamedy during the summer have still further added to the attractiveness of this popular piace of Amusement.Ome cf the most striking changes to former patrons is the replacing of the old drop curtain by a bright and cheerful scene of the recention of roses at a perfume distillary fn France.The old lace curtain effect, the work of a celebrated painter.Maed>r, which stood for so many yearr between the gaze of the front of the house and the scenes behind has been relezated to the tigngs that are past, and it must be sald, arwrt from the artistic features of the work, that the new sceno is a brighter and more pleasing one to the eyes than the former work.Besides the curtain the boxes have been re-decorated, paint has brightened up many parts of the housa, and new carpets appeal to the tread as well as to the eye.The lobby has been much improved from an artistic standpoint and with the addition of a few mirrurs Ja still brighter than before.AT HER MAJESTY'S.Last night was a red letter occasion in the year's annals of theatrical affairs in Montreal and will doubtless be underscored with the brightest of vermiilion ink in many calendars for weeks to come.It marked not only the Initial performance of Mr.John A.Grose's English stock company.and the active management of Her ajesty's passing into the hands of the new lessee, but the presence in the boxes of several \u2018gentlemen in khaki\u201d invalided home.In honour of the first of this trio of events, the ladles of the company each received a generous contribution of roses.The second was signalized by a number of changes in the personnel of the house, while the third was responsible for the patriotic spirit of the audience and of the decorations, and perhaps for the fact that, In spite of the temperature there was not a seat in the house to bo had shortly after eight o'clock.Tommy Atkins,\u2019 the vehicle selected for introducing the new company, is a play of the typical Adelphi pattern, and is the oint work of Messrs.Arthur Bhirley and en Landeck.As presented at Her Ma- Jesty's It Is a production on a Jarge scale, with quantities of new scenery, pretty \u2018costumes and effective

Castle Hall yesterday, with Grand Chancellor J.Soper Mackay in the chair.The openin attendance was good and most of the gran officers were on hand.The Grand Chancel lor presented his annual report showing the following facts: New lodges have been instituted during the year at Strathroy.and Embro.Considerable correspondence has taken place between the Grand Chancellor and F.A.Lockhart, Deputy Supreme Chancellor of Montreal, with reference to the grand domain ceding the eastern portion\u2019 of ntario to the Quebec district.The Supreme Chancellor has expressed bis willingness to approve of any fair arrangement made, He is personally in favour of it, for two reasons.First, it would give sufficient territory to Quebec district, containing population likely to join thé order, to form a new grand domain if properly handled; and 2nd, the experience has shown that the eastern portion of Ontario is too far removed from the west to permit effective handling.; After conferring with prominent members of the domain, however, he decided to let the Grand Lodge decide the matter, both as to whether ary territory should be granted, and if so, what particular part.Derm _ THE MONTREAL DAILY THE

consuls, as similar to that of Russia at New Chwang, the whole indicating a tendency to the partition of the empire.\u2018Russian journals agree,\u201d says the Mos cow correspondent of the Standard,

NEW YORK, August 28.\u2014Leslie's Weekly will publish à \u2018letter from London this week which indicates that Russia, France and Germany have determined on the nar- tition of China, and that an intrigue is proceeding to cheat the United States out of all results of victory or diplomacy the Flowery Kingdom.The writer holds a high position in the British diplomatic service, and while it would not be pro- er to publish his name, the information he ives is entitled to the greatest credit.e says: \u201cSo far as the fighting is concerned, the of Pekin is accomplished, but our people are beginning to question what will be done next.The mere entry of .the allies into Pekin can certainly not be the end of the present trouble.In our foreign office it ie stated that En land will consent to no mere rescue.egations must be maintained in Pekin, \u2018and after their relief garrisons must be maintained in the Chinese capital to protect foreign residents and pre revent the possibility of another uprising.his is the only solution, for to abandon Pekin would undoubtedly strengthen Chinese opposition and make the problem harder to solve.\u201cBut beyond the relief of the legations is the question of the punishment of the Boxers.The mobs of bandits and thieves homes.The present movemezt originated in Shantung and rame up along the foothills of western Pei Chibli to the capital and now that they have been wh hipped about.Pekin, ,they must retreat the same wa \u2018There seems to be no agreement among the allies as to what to do next.and, in fact, to do anything nekt is difficult at this Jeagom, J for to follow the course over which the Boxers must retreat would almost impossible, effort to induct England to join you in your endeavour to preserve the integrity of China, but to all your requests our Foreign fice has answered \u201cNo.\u201d When, two years ago, we asked you to support us in the same effort you failed to do so.Had you done so at that time all the present trouble MIGHT HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.Of course we do not pretend over here to understand the exigencies of your politice whieh prevented you from giving us support at that tome.It is useless to deny that your failure to do so has caused a good eal of bitter feeling in our Foreign Of- \u201cOur attitude is well expressed by a remark made by a member of the Ministry a few days ago.He said: \u2018The North Chinese market is lost to us anyhow; so why should we help the United States to save that market for herself?\u201d He went on to explain that Japan was the only power equally .interested with the United States in maintaining this position, pnd\u2019 that if you got any support in the present crisis you would have to look for it there.It 18 well understood here that negotiations are nearly completed for an alliance of Japan and the United States to take the leadership in solving the Chinese problem.\u201cJapan sees the great market in China.which she wants to develop.With her rapid growth in manufactures she must find a market for her increasing produet, or there will be trouble at home.But Japan's support of \u2018the open door policy of the United States is embarrased by the fact that she has already committed herself to the policy of \u2018spheres of influence,\u2019 for she has laid claim to the province of Fubkien.\u201cYour State Department has been doing some very fine work since it found Germany so antagonistic.The attitude of France and Russia was expected, but it has been a surprise to-us, as it hse been to you, to find Germany joining with them.I am toid that the acceptance by President McKinley of the suggestion of Count Wal.dersee as the commander of the allied forces in China was with the hope of wipe ning Germany back to your side.\u201cJealousies among the nations have pre- verited England from moving, and as your Administration is so strongly disposed to independently you naturally -are ade the leader, while the rest have been trailing along in your wake; but with the relief of Pekin you will bave gone about as far as you can go alone.Whether Japan will prove a strong enough second to enable you to accomplish your purposes I am not yet prepared to say.We hope you may for we recognize the fact that there 1 is trouble ahead if you do not.Just now we are very much interested in knowing how far your negotiations: with Japan bave succeeded, for your State Departmen a move which, if it succeeds, prove the most brilliant piece of es ever accomplished.The audacity of suggesting it compels admiration, but we are pessimistic over here, and refuse to believe that you can accomplish it.Your State Department js endeavouring to induce Japan to abandon her claim on Fuhkien in return for your support fur the open door.Eng land has been asked to consent to abandon its claim on the Ygng-Tee vailey if Japan will abendon her claims on Fubkien.\u201cIt is proposed that if we consent abandon our claims and join the Vite States and Japan the three powers, with Italy, shall demand of ! the other three pow.ers\u2014Russia, any \u2014 that - they abandon their claims for \u2018spheres of infiuence,\u2019 surrender territories already mized, and unite'in maintaining the integrity of the Chinese Empire.t is a big undertaking\u2014greater, I confess, than we think you can secomp lish: but your recent mis -80 freat that we will not be morprised at anything.\u201cIt i» reeognized that any
