DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MORGAN AND SCHWAB.The Financier Wishes to Settle the Strike Because of Its Effect on His Speculations \u2014 fchwab Wants to Fight to a Finish.PHILADELPHIA, August 0\u2014The New York correspondent of the North Ameri- ean mys There is the best authority for mying that between J.Pierpont Morgan and Charles M.Schwab, president of the Steel Trust, there ard differences which may drive them out in open warfare against each other.It may not stop there, but before it is finished the two great fin ancial interests of the trust may be in: volved \u2014 the millions which may be said to be represented by Mr.Margan and the millions represented in Andrew Carnegie, backer and patron of Mr.Schwab.The men have quarrelled over the way in which the great steel strike should be settled.One, with many other vast interests at stake, has ordered a conciliatory policy; the other, with former experience as his teacher, has refused, declaring that it shall be a fight to a finish.Anyone knowing the two men admits that neither i step from the position as- can -be nothing else but t Morgan, one hand always on the pulse of Wall Street, has been anxious to have the strike settled.His interests are varied in other directions for him to dévote all his energies and thought to one ing, even if it be a \u2018billion dollar\u201d trust.Steel forms only one of the many industries in which he is regarded as pre-eminent.There is coal, railroads, steamships, and last, but not least, hank- ing.He stands to-day almost in the same relation to this country as the Bank of d does to England and the Roth- ds \u2018to France.Since the beginning of the atrike, steel, common and ferred, has shrunk in at is equivalent to between $35,000,000 to $40,000,000.Mr.Morgan, who representa the speculative and investors\u2019 end of the trust, saw this and was impressed.The complaints of this he knew would come to him.He, as organizer, would be blamed for organizing something he could not well handle, and he determined to settle the whole thing at once and get it off his mind.same authority when ;

I see only the future and the settlement of ssmething which sooner or later every manufacturer has to setile.It does not matter to me now what the United Steel ia quoted at.I know ite value and I think I know how to enhance that value.We must meet t men in a fight and the fight must be to a finish.In 109 experience, the Carnegie Company was never more prosperous in its career than it was after we had met the men at Homestead and whipped them.I have been trained to fight organized labour and we will fight them this time.\u201d .The financier was on his feet when this was over and his voice was heard in the busy bank outside the little glass enclozed bffice.He made one suggestive remark.\u201cWe will sce about that,\u201d waa the quiet answer.\u201cI admit I am only an employe of the company, but I am put there by a man who has as mueh if not more power than you.If he tells me to change my policy I will do so;

and it is only through education that their reforms will become possible.The Homestead troubles have given Carnegie and hie associates an unenviable notoriety, and knowing that their sins have found them out are trying to make amends for past misconduct.À little arithmetical reasoning will show that instead of accumulating his great wealth, he had given it away by raising the wages of his employes one dollar a week, the men would have gained very little financially, while Carnegie libraries would have been unknown.This peculiar method of disposing his wealth will realize the dream of the reformers, who cried aloud for the abolition of capitalism and its attendant evils.The statement made that libraries in Montreal have not been successful is entirely unconnected with the matter.A ublic library, on the lines laid down by arnegie, would allow workingmen to get a necessary knowledge of the sciencex that contribute to the welfare of the world at large.The plea that after doing ten hours\u2019 work a man has not time for reading or monta) culture.is-mere- conjeeture- The library could have a special arrangement for the lending of books to read at home, a planrthat is mr vogue in meveral large Brit.| ish and American cities.Several of our Canadian philanthropists have disposed of their wealth in a manner not at all calculated to benefit the masses.The pripgely.donations of Sir William McDonald to certain of our educational institutions avail the poor man but very little, yet we praise one for helping those well endowed with this world's goods, while we declaim with bombast and truculency against one who desires to give the poorer classes an opportunity of partaking of the delights of knowledge! - If Mr: Carnegie\u201d gave his | wealth for the building of churches, and the endowment of missions for the propagation of the Goepel.our flesh and blood critics would have denounced him for spreading superstition and ignorance.Why not take whit the gods give us and be content ?r.Carnegie has shown that he is a most eccentrio individual by his \u2018book, \u201cTriumphant Democracy,\u201d which to an enlightened reader is full of absurd anomalies, the people of Montreal are so sensitive and ch wv of taking a slice of the Carnegie wealth, for the building of a public library, t si ask him to loan them sufficient funds for the building of a badly needed civie hospital or a lighting plant\u2014two instj- tations that would be of great service to Mr.William Darlington said: \u201cI say accept it by all means.I have been amused reading \u2018a lot that has been said about this matter regarding the action of the Mayor, and the dignity of the city.In the first place, the Mayor never went begging, but only offered to accept money that was going beggifig, and then only with the sanction of his confreres of the City Council or the city at large.He deserves credit 2095-2089 8 Cllr 3.dignity of our city\u2014well,.for God\u2019s sake, emphasize the word n Montreal, the only city of its size upon the continent without a decent public fibrary; dignity, dignity of the commercial metro- olis of a country that sends the poor and clpless to gaol for being poor and helpless; dignity, dignity of a &ity that has a contagious diseases act and no hospital to put the patients in; dignity, dignity of a city whose sidewalks are unsafe to walk upon, and whose streets are a menace to traffic and trade.Why, I could keep on for a week showing how dignified we are, and would be, in refusing\u2019 an offer of $150,000 for a library.\u201cLet those who are talking about such lack of dignity put up $150,000.I am sure no one will grumble.With all due respect to other people's opinion, I hope our Mayor will be supported in what he has done so far, and a good committee appointed, independent of any ecclesiastical influences, that will go ahead with the work as soon as possible, \u201cI like the idea of Mr.C.Stevens, (secretary of the Mechanics\u2019 Institute), to amalgamate the various Public institutions we have in Montreal with their libraries, etc\u2026 then make an appeal to the public, and I feel we should have ample books to start a good library with.Thé question \u2018of what books, periodicale, papers, etc, to get would soon regulate itself.I know there is a strong feeling among union men about anything connected with the name of Carnegie, because of the Homestead and other strikes on his works, those strikes having cost the union men of Montreal quite a lot of money, but I don't see any harm in getting back at him by taking his money and saving our own taxes.Every labour union I know of wants free public libraries, and fifty years from now who Will care whether it was Carnegie or any other body's money that built the library.Let us be charitable, and think of the good that will be accomplished, and our good, friends that think the amount not large enough, why let us have a foundation or facing stone large enough to add their names to it for any amount, from $10,000 upwards, or follow Mr.Griffith\u2019s suggestion and give them a chance to erect smaller ones in various parts of the city.Only, don\u2019t let any of them be too anstocratic so that workingmen won't care to go into them, but, at all events, let us have them, and no matter.from.ère the money and Andrew Carnegie the credit for fore- ing the matter before the public of Montreal as it never was before.\u201d Opposes Acceptance of Gift.Mr.William Menard, president of the Ci- garmakers\u2019 Union, speaking of the offer of a public library for Montreal said: \u201cI am decidedly opposed to accepting anything from Mr.Carnegie, and I am of the opinion the great majority of workingmen in the city are unalterably opposed to accepting $150,000 or any other amount from Andrew Carnegie for a library, knowing as they do that he extracted his millions of dollars from our American brothers.If Mr.Carnegie would give the money to the underpaid workmen, to whom it belongs, to buy books for themselves, when they require them,it would be more in order,but to give it Yo people who are in a position to buy their own books, is of no benefit to the working classes.No, my impression is, the blood-stained books of Andrew Carnegie, urchased with money that rightfully he- ong to working people of Homestead and Pittsburg, should mot be entertained for a moment.The bloodstained millionaire\u2019s offer o i i i dignity\u2014dignity of | comes;

AQUATICS THAT DISCUSSION ABOUT HENLEY RACES MR.NICKALLS PUTS IN HIS OAR .NOW.He Objects to Keeping Out Foreigners \u2014Mr.Lawson is Credited With the Design of Breaking Up the In- a dependence Because He Cannot Race Her.The discussion going on in the Engli-j press relative to the exclusion of all but old-country clubs from Henley rezatta is of much interest.The latest untribution is from the well known dyrsman, Vivian Nickalls, who writes : Sir,\u2014I am sorry that I am unable to agree in this matter with such eminent authorities as Dr.Warre und Me-srs, Gren- fell and Lehmann.Dar foreign entries, and you ruin Henley Regatta\u2014that is what | think.Having once nllowed foreign crews to comte, and having, as it were, catered for hem by having special dates for their entries, 1 cannot ~ee how the Henley stewards can go back on themselves.It will, in the first place, tend to degrade the cups.The glory of winning the Grand Challenge Cup in the foture would not be half what it was in the past, and so the interest in it would diminish, and the whole regatta would become a mo-t tame and unintere-t- __ ing affair.And, say what people may, foreign eniries Kkéep the \u201cinterest going\u201d im menseiy, vide this year's regatta and Ja:t year\u2019s.As for the American crews, with their , style and system, of which ! have geen a lot lately, having just returned from that country, I do not think they will win for some years to come yet, and there has only been this outery against foreign entries in years when our nerves have been over- strained, and it seems to be a ngtural re- activn.But, if we do bar foreign entries, I shall never feel that the rowing man will TTT Tbe \"ever able 1oelaim that he is a \u2018\u2019-port- \u2019 © man\u201d-\u2014that word means so much.ty oarsmen, and 1 am sure Mr.Lehmann will back me up, that they are every hit as good amateurs as the best of ours.No merican \u2018varsity man may belong to any varaity team, be it baseball, football or rowing, unless he can pass a certain standard.in his college work, whatever line he may take up, be it acience, classics, history, etc., and that standard must be 25 per cent.at Yale above the ordinary average student.It may not be so high in other col- :leges, but 1 believe that, at any rate, he Must be better at books than the average man, and so an uneducated professional is unable to get into any crew, whatever it ma .\u2018There has also been something said about the way in which they train.Now, they \u2014-gome over to Win the race\u2014not for a picnic \u2014and they train strictly according to their ideas.Why should they not do so ?If \u201cwe went over there, we should train aecord- ing to our ideas, not theirs.After all, their strict training has never paid over here.ides, we are always hearing about * poor Leander only being together for two A \u201cmen for whom the club was originally started, i.e., old \u2019Varsity men, who are in Business, they would be able to train at Putney for a month or two, instead of having to go to Henley, so that the pres.ént \u2018Varsity men may join the veterans there, and we should have just as fine .crews to hold up our end as ever \u2014 and \u2018better ones, I venture to think.I venture 40 say that, according to our ideas, we train just as strictly!at Henley; we do not ge for quite a picnic.There is one remark of Mr.Lehmann\u2019s I am in thorough accord with, Bar any orew coming to Henley who have been tamed by a professional coach, or who are under & professional coach for two or three months before Henley, excepting scullers, as 8 sculler is bound to have a man to sonll with him, or else he will get ns slow #8 a tortoise.hi .And one more thing\u2014let the Henle stewards be much more careful about ad- ~- mitting foreign.crewa, and especially scul- fers, and @& there is an \u201cif\u201d about them, we have an excellent rule@that you need e no reason for refnsing an entry.t started this copéroversr scems to \"Un that towing has d&eriorsted of late.Doss not this come from one club trying, I say this also about American univer-i-\" or three weeks.But if Leander rowed the.more or less, to \u201ccorner\u201d the Grand Chal lenge Cup?The metropolitan clubs bave Leen band of late years, but it must be borne in mind that men like Etherington- Smith, Payne and Sanderson rowed at Henley for London befare ever they rowed for Leander, and Leander \u201cpoached\u201d these three good men from London.No; make u strict ryle about one club not poaching another club's men, and then we shall find more of a level of crews at Henley, and it will not be \u201cLeander first, rest nowhere,\u201d as it bas been of late years, and we shall get a higher standard of rowing.As everyone knows, two good men will make a crew, and we shall get the good men better distributed.nother argument brought forward is that one mile and 530 yards is not long enough.It bus proved so up to now, as we have always been held for a mile by all of the best foreign crews, and have beaten them in the last 530 yards, and always shall, us long as we keep our present style.And, alter all, ask anyone Who says it is uot long enough to sit in a boat and réw u hard race over the course, and hear what he will say afterwards.SHAMROCK\u2019S GEAR UNLOADED.Everything is in Perfect Order and Ready for Setting Up.NEW YORK, August 9.\u2014Sir Thomas Lipton's American representative, David Barrie, expects Shamrock H.tv arrive at this port by next Sunday at the latest, and 18 making preparations for the challenger's reception and speedy refitting.He spent the greater part of yesterday at Erie Basin, with Higger William Cochran, su\u2019 perintending the unloading and storing ot Shamrocks spars and extensive wardrobe.Ou lis return late in the afternoon he reported that all her belongings were in per- tect order, and safely housed, and waiting for the challenzer, : \u201cThere were in ail about forty-two bags of sails, and these were pliced on gratings in a house at the Basin in order that the air might have free circulation around them, and thus prevent mildew.> Ench brug bare the name où the =ail it contained, and it can be produced ai a moments notice when needed.All the steel rigging was arranged ready for the workmen, and the big steel mast, the largest ever carried by a uinety-dooter, was stretehed out on trestles, and a gang of men wire sot to work sandpapering it, preparatory to re painting.\u201d \u201cI want to get ns much of thus prepara tory work done as possibile,\u201d Mr.Barrie continued, \u201cbefore the bout arnves, The work of making the change trom jury to racing rig should only tale a short time, as all her nevds have been anticipated, A spare bowsprit Is in process of construe- tion at the Lasin in case of an emergency.Eight large steel plates came over with her spars to make repairs mm case of damage to her top sides.Her keel block, on which she will rest in dry dock, was also sent over, and is ready for use.\u201d Mr.Barrie is greutly pleased over the appearance of the mast and spars, and says he has never seen thar superiors In point of workmanship.THE BOHEMIANS DEFEATED.A Great Race for Major Walsh Challenge Cup at Brockville, (Special to the Star.) BROCKVILLE, August 9.- The war canoe race for the Major Walsh chall-nie cup proved one of the Lost and most exeit- ing that ever took place on the river.The cup eame into existence three years ago and ode of the governing conditions was that a crew must win it for three consecutive years before it could be held permanently and the B.A, A.\\.won it the tirst your.ML CAL the second, and last night the Y's captured it for the second time in magnificent style.The Bohennans, who hold the champronsh.p of America, w re picked to win but their showing was disappointing, The pace sot by the Y's wus too hot.Five crews entered: The Senior and Junior Y's, the senior and junior Bohemians and the B.R.C's.The junior crews were never in it and the fight lay between the three senior crews.The first quarter mile, there was little to chuvoge he- tween the three mentioned crews.R.C.gradually fell back and for the last 200 yards it was the hottest kind of racing between the Bol\u2019s and the Y's.The latter gradually pushed their canoe shead and then the time came for the tinal spurt the Y's.not only held their own but shot ahead winning by a length.The Bob's weakened considerably at the finish ro that they barely got over the line half a length ahead of the B.BR.C.; The winners were given an enthusiostic reception on returning to the club house.The distance of the race was half a smile straghtaway., The water was Jumpy and a stiff head wind was blowing.In consequence the time was 3.26 which is considered slow.Canadian Canoe Races.(Special to the Star.) BROCKVILLE, Ont., August 9.\u2014 The Brockville canoists aie putting on the finishing touches training tor the annual re gatta of the Canadian Canoe Association to be held on the Bt.Lawrence here Sotur- day afternoon.\u201d There is much speculation as to the outcome of the big War Canoc race.The present champions, the DB.À.À.A.Brockville, wil be called upon Lo defend their title against eight crews.These will include the Drittanias, and Ottaw-a, of Ottawa; the Grand Trunks of Montreal; Carleton Place; the Drockville Rowing Club.The Senior, and Junior Brockville Y.M.C.A.; and the Junior B.A.A.A.The de feat of the Bohemians on Tucaday night by the Y.M.©.A.for the Major Walsh chai- lenge cup has lowered their stoek, but the crew is training hard and a great rac is assured.The Ottawa crews will make a big bid for the championship.The entries closed yesterday and every coveht is well filled, the Britta, Ottawas, Carleton Placa, and Grand Trunks taking the entire oro- gramme which consists of dou blade, tandem, green fours, single, war canoe, up- sot, four in canve, and tug-of-war.The visitors will bring a strong body guard of zup- porters.Towns and Gaudaur Training.RAT PORTAGE, Ont., August 0.\u2014George Towns, the English champion onrsman, who is to row Gaudaur, took his firge spin over the course Wednesday evening, coached by Thomas Sullivan, his trainer and Pearson, in a double, He is in good form and expressed \u201chimself satisfied with the course and delighted with the clear bracing climate.He brought three shells with him and one double.The three boats are each twenty-five feet long, and wider and deeper than the one in which Gaudaur will row, which is thirty-one feet six inches in length.The double is thirty-three feet long being three feet shorter than those gener ally in use, Gaudaur with his coach, Hack- ett, takes dnily sping around Conroy Island, a distance of seven miles.He is in splendi form and confident.Independence

Game Ended in a Draw.; HALIFAX, N.S.August 9.\u2014 The cricket match between the Philadelphia Bel- monta and the United Services was concluded yesterday snd end¢d in a draw.The Imonts scored 118 in

BASEBALL JOYCE SHUT 0UT THE BAINMAKERS, ONLY ALLOWED THE HARD HITTERS THREE BINGLES.Hartford Was Stacked Up Against Felix When the Rain Came Down and Stopped the Second Game \u2014 Toronto Lost Another One to Brockton, Joyce didn't do a thing to Hartford ye:- terday.He did the prettiest little buneh of pitemng he ha® handed vut since he became a pro- tessional, and Hartiford probably got as bad u beuting as any teun 14 the league ever received, There ure some kinds of pitch that cannot be touched without being defiled, but the kind of pitch Hartford got yesterday was worse than this\u2014it couldn\u2019t be touched at all.In the mne innings the Wooden Nutmegs only got three lus, and one of those was due tv Shevban falling while fielding an casy bunt by Kuhns, Only once did à man of the visitors eee second base, and third was an unknown land to them.vo Seldom was a team so manifestly driven to the wall, and in the latter part of the game the depression Was such that the members of the team could not help show- mg it, and went to the bat simply because they had to, iu a listless way that was saddening to see in a tesm noted as one of the heavy hitters, and which had been climbing up towards the top at a rapid rate lately.Mr.Steelman was silent as a ghost, and acvepted the inevitable without a murmur while he was at the bat.When he was on the bench he witnessed Joyce administer the ruzzle dazzle and the high gazzoo to the battuug beauties of the team in shocked usizement, But 1t was not only in pitching that Joyce excetlel.He is the best batting pitcher in the feague, aud yesterday he swiped enough to drive in two or three runs himself.It was Udwell, however, who led the carnival of hitting, the erstwhile weak batting team ol the bunch laid out for the contemplation of the men from the abiding place of the Blue Laws.Hemming was in the box for llartford, but his hardest work was as nothing in the face vf the depression which fell like a fog bank over the aggregation.In one inning he managed to retire the Royals when they had three men on the bases, and thus got out of a hole which bade fair to make the score any old thing.Yet he was bit by everybody pretty much, such 1s the effect of the home team having acquired a confidence in their ability to bit the ball.Hemming has been putting up a grand game this season, but he was up against a proposition which has taken on batting clothes such as would have essily made them the leaders had they commenced at the start, and which will make the present top notchers hustle for position yet i wey keep it up.they is hot Necessary to go into details.The game was pitched, batted and fielded by Montreal as well as any game ever put up in the Eastern League, and Hartford was distinetly outclassed.Wilsun, Montreal's regular catcher, was called away by the sudden illness of his wife in California, and Raub took his place behind the bat, while Dooley, who has been out of the game lately, resumed his old position at first base.The Hartford team has been known im Montreal as the rain-makers.Whether they have any secret understanding about the weather, or whether it is just the overflow of the tears of Connecticut, pouring into nature, over the fate of their well loved tenm whenever they come\u2019 to Montreal, it is hard to say, but this much is sure, that their arrival is always followed by rain, und more games have been called or postponed on account of the weather when Hartford is with us than with all the others put together.Yesterday the sky was clear and there were no indications that it would rain for a fortnight but when the.second game was commenced and Harry Felix was just getting limbered up, Connecticut began to weep over the prospects, and, with thunder and light ning, the rain fell.As an indication of how cold a day it was for Hartford, some of the tears were frozen in transmission, and came to us in the form of hail.Only two innings of the second game were played, with no runs on either side, when the rain caused the play to be postponed, and after waiting half an hour, as there was no sign of let up, the game was called.The score ®f

Play Toronto on Theil; Own Grounds on Saturday \u2014 Caps May Go to New Westminster if the Players Can Get Away for the Trip.(Special to the Star.) CORNWALL, August 9.\u2014While considerable talk is being indulged in by the Capitals in regard to the Minto Cup and the New Westminster team, Cornwall is plug- fink away trying to solve the difficult pro- lem of landing the championship.If the can accomplish this task.Oorawall will bave something to say about dates and other necessary details in this direction and it may be that Mr.Anderson will have to extend his visit to the factory town in this connection.The idea that Toronto might have won last Monday's match from the Shamrocks is not entertained by the executive of the Jocal team, and such a thing has never been given a serious thought by the close followers of the game, and eree Leacy, who by the way is the one referee who is meeting with general favour and who knows all the fine pointe of the game, says Saturday's match looked much \u2018Toronto in the first and second games, but after that they were not mo swift, and \u201cthat the Toronto's principal cause for defeat was that their men did not play their positions.Those following the game closely, and who understand it bear out this statement, as it has all along been contended by the knowing ones that Turonto has had for the past two seasons the swiftest team in the league and with a coach as Pete Greene or Barney Dun- H phy would have been at the head of the À percentage column.There is a probability of one change being made on the local team for Baturday which some think will strengthen it, but untried juni are dangerous try outs at this late dale, and the.executive will likely give the matter ma- perme cu ure consideration before m a change.The team will be in the best possible form when they Lne up against the fleety westerners Saturday.There is considerable difficulty in selecting a referee, and it is likely president Pittaway will be called upon to appoint one.Montreal and Shamrock.The sepior championship lacrosse match which will be played to-morrow afternoon on the Shamrock grounds between the above teams is attracting more than the usual attention, because it is Fecognized by all lacrosse men as having an import: ant bearing as to whether the champion: ship will winter with the Shamrocks, or be battled for between the Caps and Cornwalls.Both teams have had hard practices this week.The Shamrocks are more directly interested in- the result, for = they wil d - LAWN TENNIS.\u2014 Southampton Tournament.SOUTHAMPTON, L.I, August 9.\u2014 Men's Championship Doubles, preliminary round\u2014W.A.Larned and C.F.Watson, jr,.defeated Kenpeth Ives and Theodore R.Pan, 7\u20145, 6\u20140.First round\u2014Fdwin P.Larned and Wil- linm J.Clouthier defeated Guy P.Snow and Duane Cruger, 6-3, 6\u20142; Ollie Campbell and Ford Huntington defeated C.F.Childs and Robert Leroy, 6-3, 2\u20146, 6\u20142; Richard Stevens and Malcolm D.Whitman defeated W.I\u2019.Blagden and P.Lee, 6\u20141, 6\u20140; W.A, Larned and G.F.Watson.defeated G.P.Dodge and Stuart Waller by default.| Lo Consolation Singles, first round\u2014C.F.Childs defeated G.P.Snow, 6\u20142, 6\u20141; C.T.Richardson defeated J.W.Lee, A , 7\u20145.; Mixed Doubles preliminary round-\u2014Mies Gertrude Sard and Malcolm D.Whitman defeated Mra.Goodhue Livingston and L.C.Griswold 6\u20142, 6-2, ward P.Larned defeated Mra.R.H.H ley and Duane Cruger, 6\u20143, 6-38, oad- \"ROD AND GUN \u2018Bt.Lawrence Anglers.\u2018WATERTOWN, N.Y., August 9.\u2014At the eighteenth annual meeting of the Ang.Jers\u2019 Association of \u201cthe St.Lawrence River, steps were taken to secure a uniform bass scason in Canada and America.Legislation is asked for to stop the netting of bass on Lake Ontario, by which process each scagon tons of black bass are caught, thus depleting the supply in the St.Lawrence, Sir Louis Davies, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, of the Dominion of Canada, Was a speaker.William C.Browning.New York, was elected president, and William H, Thompson, of Alexandria Bay, was elected secretary.BLOOD POISON Sere Throat, Pimp!

PARIS, August 9 Jamtice Casey, of F lee gual that & very ab \u2014| filled when we Australin, who paesed h Paris yesterday, told a corres rough the Mar uin of Salisbury ha to remain as jer until alter the Coronation only he urgent request ing Ed l TT TST Ok DEBATE IN THE LORDS UPON PROPOSED AMENDMENT.THE SOF Lord Salisbury\u2019s Reform Was Opposed by the Ultra-Protestants, by the High Churchmen and by Some Roman Catholics \u2014 No Chance of Reform This Year.Lord Salisbury has delivered his ultimatum concerning the proposed amendment to the King's declaration upon his accession to the throne.If the ultra-Protes tants and the Roman Catholics refuse to accept the proposed amendment it will have to stand as it is.The discussion in the House of Lords upon the proposed change in the King\u2019s declaration of adherence to the Pro- testont faith made it clear that if any reform comes in the declaration, such as is now proposed, it will come very largely as the result of the protests received from Canada and other colonics, rather than from any pressure of public opinion in Great Britain itself.Lord Salisbury made this very clear in his specch, a report of which is appended, It is evident also that there is a wide divergence of opinion among Englishmen themselves as to the manner in which tion shall be modified, and it'is ed this year, but may be allowed to go vvor until the Coronation year.The declaration has been made by King Edward V11\u2014it had to be made or, as Lord Salisbury pointed out, the whole political machinery would have come to a deadlock\u2014and all loyal subjects will hope that many years shall pass fore his successor shail be called upon to make a similar declaration upon his ac:es- gion to the throne, .In moving the second reading of the bill, the Marquis of Salisbury said: wish to point out some of the leading considerations which have induced us to submit this meas ure to your lordships.The fact that by \u2018be accession of a new Sovereign this, question has been brought into public notice, and many ons have turned their attention to it who had not previously done wo, is no ubt an important constituent in the causes which have made it a matter of public interest.But jt is not only a mere accident of the change 4n the occupancy of the Throne.There is no doubt that there hue been a great change in public opinion, going on for several generations, by which the objections taken to this declaration have become less and less tolerable and less and less palatable as time went on, The matter has also been brought into public view by more important considerations.Until it was discussed on the King'e accessinn, I do not think the majority of people in any part of the Empire knew the kind of declaration which the Sovereign was forced to take.they did know it, of course it only affected them in various ways.in those parts of the country where a very strong Protestant feeling survives, perhaps it was pot received altogether with relugt- ance; at all events, it did not excite much hostile feeling.But it was very different in other parts of the Empire, where the Roman Catholic faith still prevails and commands the allegiance of large numbers of His Majesty's subjects.It was startling to them to know that the Bovercign was forced to make this declaration on his te cession to the throne.When I say he wan forced to do it, I mean that the whole pn- litical machine would have come to a deadlock if he had not done so.The statute compelled him to make this declaration before he met his Parliament, and until he met his Parliament it was impossible that any new legislation could take place.The only machine that would enable you lo take a different course\u2014that of obtaining the consent of Parliament to a repealing Act\u2014was by the very nature of the precautions taken by the statesmen of Charles I1.\u2019s time excluded from ibility.It was found that among ot things the Sovereign was required to say that the invocation or adoration of the Virgin Mary or any other saint and the sacrifice of the Masses us they are now used in the Church of Rome are superstitious and idolatrous.THE OFFENCE TO CATHOLICS.It was brought home to the consciences of many millions of His Majesty's subjects that the religion to which they were pas- gionately attached was denounced in the most offensive form under the protection and coercion of the law by the Sovereign when he ascended the Throne.I! suppose your lordships do not doubt that that information produced a very strong feeling on the Roman Catholic body.And the Roman Catholic body ie not the same now as it was when the statesmen of Charles II.passed this oath.I will not enter into the ques tion of the particular attitude of the Irish Roman Catholics.at ject would lay itself open to much difference of appreciation, but without dealing with Ireland at all you have the fact that Canada, Malta, Mauritius, and many other scattered communities are now attached to the Church of Rome, being subjects of the Sovereign of England, of whom it could not, be said in 1680 when this oath was cna .A feéhing should have b arisen among them.have received certain documents from them.One from Malta states that the people there have heard of the declaration.with great alarm and in- digniation, though the Roman Catholic sub-' jecta of the King in Malta yield to none in Loyalty.The next is a petition from the Roman Catholic community of Mauritius, which states that the declaration cannot but be highly offensive to His Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects, and humbly praying that a bill be introduced to alter it.THE VOICE OF CANADA.Then I have an address from the Hierarchy of Canada \u2018to His Eminence Cardinal Vaughan, Archbishop of Westminster, expressing in the strongest way that their action did not at all qualify their sincere Joy- alty to the Empire to which they belong, but offering unanimous expression of their full and entire adherence to the energetic protestations which have been made by other members of the Empire who are Roman Catholics.One thing is quite clear\u2014 that it represents a totally different state of things from that which presented itself to the eyes of the statesmen of Charles il.when they passed this celebrated Act with which we are now dealing.These Catholics are no doubt devoted members to our Empire, but our King is their Kine.and they have as much claim on our King as we have.Jt is not only.intelligible,~but\u2014quite| TORONTO, Augurt-9The Nätions!

That is the object of the bill, and that makes plain many things which seem to critics of the measure hard to understand.They eay that; after all, at the present day a declaration is not necessary.I do not think we should find a unanimous acceptance of that view, but, at all events, it is not the point now._- A CHANCE FOR REVISION.We desire to give Parliament an opportunity of revising this language of antique date and most objectionable character, and we do not desire to make any change beyond that an allusion to certain doctrines .s the most desirable way of expressing our sep- sratjon from the belief of the Roman Catholic \u2018Church, but we could not remove those worde without making a very serious alteration in the declaration with which we are dealing, and it seemed to us essentially part of our duty to keep the alterations of the declaration as low as possible consistent with the chief object of providing that the offensive\u2019 words should be withdrawn.We do not express any opinion with reference\u2019 to doctrines.We think it_is highly expedient not to enter on the discussion of those things, and not to alter the statute save :0 far as is absolutely necessary for the pur poze of removing ft offensive expressions, which irritate and wpund our Roman Catho- lc fellow subjects,\u201d especially our Roman Catholic fellow subjects whose accession to the Empire is later than the passage of the old Act of Parliament.I will not eater into precise minute details of the wording.I believe that we are Justified in kaying that in moving that this bill be read a second time, we are only asking the House to/affirm that it is desirable to remove that offensive language from the declaration.Commending it to the favourable consideration of your lordships

Boston attending the Y.M.C.A.jubile¢ celebrations, and is noted as being.an extreme Evangelical Churchman moved the rejection of the bill, and mid that he had never heard it suggested! that the declaration shauld be altered because it was not acceptable to the Mohammedan or Hindoo subjects of the King.Why were they to be called on to alter the Constitution at the beck of the ome?His reasons for asking.that the bill should not be now read a second time were that the words of the declaration hnd at this time been settled with undue haate, that e pro form of the declaration did not satisfy either the members of the Roman Catholic Church or the High Church members of the Church of England, and certdinly not those who belonged to the Lroteatant societies throughout the king- m.A BISHOP'S

porétions end, al he was not exactly vourable to the precise form adopted, he t the Government in formulating the words ied in the bill had adopted a most statesmanlike courre.There were two changes in the form appro by the committee as the form now a in the bin One ve, the jabradet of a pharse making the is assent to what was described as the Protestant ie: ligion.The other was the removal of the word \u201cadoration.\u201d Both were extremely technical, and he thought the matter should be further considered by a committee.A HIGH CHURCH VIEW, _ Viscount Halifax, the president of the English Church\u2019 Union, and as advanced a High Churchman as Kinnaird is an Evangelical, said that the declaration was not necessary in order to exclude a Roman Catholic from the Throne, and the form in which it was now p was most objectionable.When the committee was reached he should propose that the oath should be a simple declaration that the 1 \u201csolemnly and sincerely, in the an of

to encourage and further their traming in all matters calculated to make them elficient citi ; zens in any part of the Empire, and to promote friendly intercourse between children of the Mother Country, and those ! in;the great dependencies and colonies.Ris expressly provided thal the work of §haleagie shail be independent of party Politics.~~\" \u201cBesides \u201cmaking a point of paying special attention to colonial subjects in the education of children associnted with the league, it is proposed to establish a system of correspondence by means of which chil \u201cdren in different parts of the Empire may be brought into touch with one another, 80.93 to stimulate the interest of each, and increase the knowledge of cach, about the conditions of life in a distant country forming part of their common patria.The i league will also encourage Loy members to join cadet corps, or boys\u2019 brigades, and, \u201cwhere possible, provide facilities for thei 3 learning the use of the rifle through practice \u201con Morris tube ranges.In towns with riding schools the boys are also encouraged to, learn how to saddle, ride, and take care of a horse, and to fit themselves to follow.some handicraft which might be \u201c@seful in the colonies as well as at home.It will be seen that from a purely practi- \u2018eal standpoint the league is one to be en- , Souraged ; but in our judgment the senti- \u2018ment which it secks to implant in the young gives it a still more praiseworthy purpose.A number of well-known names 4 appear on the Council and Executive Com- \u201c mittee, and anv one desiring information concerning the organization can obtain it \u2018tons the honorary scerctary, Mrs.Roland ¥ Mymen, 19 Emperor's Gate, 8.W.\u201d c£ a\" :,!The movement is one that all in the of olonies and dependencies will read with-pleasure.It will be the means of im- \u201cparting to the children of the Mother HRand: a knowledge of the great aggrega- \u2018tion of nations, called for convenience the * mg British Empire, that we fear the average tian} the- Old Country schools, ST Knowledge of at 7 it grown person of (Great Britain has not \u2018\u2019afibwn the possession of.The colonial- \u201céductäted person has a far more general the gengraphy, conditions and sentiments of all parts of the Empire » fan is usually imparted to the children À The idea of blishing a correspondence between the 2 Slldier ofthe Mother Land and those of + en as sois e colonies is one which has previoualy 4 Teed acted upon to some extent, so far Yanadian -ehildren are concerned, and it is a\u2018éapital Wny of interesting the chil- \u201cdren of the Empire in cach other's home and, welfare.It will make them really fool ARat they are one in kin, one in.na- -tional aspirations, one in loyalty to King hd pride\u201d in the name of Briton, aed : e.sgitation over the King\u2019s oath does \u2018soon \u2018cehse, it is within the hounds of possibility -that- His Majesty may give the \u201cworld one or two samples of onths barder- \u2018où profatity.agées + Ua, _ LE oe | \u201cThere is certainly a reform element at \u2018Work in the Sunny South.Ine number of Durnines at the stake is not nearly as large As the hangi es and shootings by the popu- e, lately, and there are restrictive laws dealing with the sale of liquor being exp-ri- mented with in the Carolinas.To crown all #i the political meeting 10 discuss the rela- > , mrranged for in South Carolina, the commit- saut \u201cbue in ehatge specify that the orators are fom 5 not #6 use profanity on the phitform, Thus ia the South being shorn of its ancient dors: 4 La .+ The experiments in the lessening of the mily of the-ladÿ mosquito by using petro- ou the ponds and Jakes has been tried PE fait drith much success by Dr.Doty, on Staten I\" the ornamental Yétand.There is a question in thé minds af some of the residents whether the re- i Unetion of the mosquitoes compensates for ka ar sighitly and unsavoury condition of : waters for a large part of the sommer.lt hoes been suggested that petroleum they ure swallows Apatepd of the petr Vand mittins, which might be imported in natural food.These birds, together with the chimney wwifts, will.make a flock of quitoes disappear in short order, but the common English sparrows will make life so unhappy for the other birds that they will emigrate or become outcasts.The sparrows will just drive them out of house and hote, In the meantime the mosquito will go on having her regular meals.\u201cThe- Working Women of America\u201d is the name of the servant girls\u2019 union, just formed in Chicago.The rules insist upon certain rights, among others, about company being permitted \u2018on the back door step, and prohibit the interference of a mistress in the conversation of a domestic who was entertaining her regular young man.An important rule requires that \u201cDo- mesties shull be allowed such hours off Monday us will permit them to visit the bargain counters of the stores, and enjoy on Monday the same privileges enjoyed by the mistress and her daughters\u201d Those who have béen monopolizing the whole of the bargains and not allowing the ladies of the chamber and the kitchen a chance at anything but the choice goods on regular days, which do not get to the bargain count- ors, will now have to take their chances of having gowns, hats and gloves duplicated by their assistants or do their own work.The union is a thousand strong, and increasing, so there ig going to be trouble in Es homes in the city of pork, progress and wind.¥ MORE CENSUS SPECULATIONS.Ottawa Correspondent Gives Some Hints as to the Probable Figures.(Special to the Star.)

BE SENT BACK TO ENGLAND .1661 d- On the Parisian on Saturday \u2014 Quebec Police Placed the Man on thé Train With No Person to Look After Him \u2014 Gave Away His Clothing.\u2014 In the Recorder's Court yesterddy, Mr.Recorder Poirier commtted Frederic Howard Edwards, the young Englishman whose adventures since his-arrival in Canada, on the Parisian, on Saturday last, were re- luted in Wednesday's and Thursday's is- sucs of the Star, to the gaol for a week, pending the result of an enquiry into his mental condition.It is probable, however that he will be allowed to sail for Englan to-morrow inoïning, as it is understood the officials of the Allan Line are willing that he should return to his native country on the Parisian which leaves port to-morrow for Liverppol.\u2019 A fellow'paseenger of the young man has already written to the former's father, ap- priving him of his son\u2019s condition, and asking him to meet the Parisian on its ar rival in Liverpool.The letter will go by way of New York and will consequently reach England a couple of days ahead of the Parisian\u2019s arrival.A passenger in speaking of Edward's eccentricities on board the Parisian, said that he had attracted considerable attention on the voyage out.IIE WANTED TO SING.Hon.David Mills and Mr.J.D.Clark, his private secretary, were also passengers on the boat, and at a lecture on board, given by Professor Robertson, when Mr.Mills was Yh the char, Mr.Edwards was desirous of giving a vocal exhibition.It appears that he was put on board the d'arisian at Liverpool, by a man representing himself to be his brother.At that time the poor fellow: was apparently suffering from nervous exhaustion produced by overwork, but was apparent.y sane.His hallucinations did not commence to exhibit themselves till the fourth day out.The ship left Liverpool on Thursda on the Monday, Mr.Edwards sta that he had been much impressed by the sermon at the service on Sunday, so Much eo that he had prayed that he might be cured of his nervous malady.In answer to his prayer, he said, something like a stroke of lightning: had struck him on the head and had passed completely through him.Az a consequence he had received a revelation that he was possessed of à most magnificent voice, and great perfection in singing and cloeytion, so that he wouid in future be able to make a competency by these means, instead nf going back \u2018to the drudgery of the Stock Exchange.As Professor Robertson lectured, Edwards\u2019 name was placed by some one on the black-board for a song, and when the Professor was half way through his lecture, he rose and addressing the Hon.David Mills.said, \u201cMr.Chairman, was to sing but apparently there is some mistake as I have not been called on.\u201d No notice was taken of the interruption, and he remained\u2019 quiet during the rest of the evening.He was very anxious to sing at the usual concert given on board, his name was not put on the programme.(After he had announced his vocal abilities, his whole effort was to exemplify these gifts even to the extent of getting up at 3 o'clock in the morning to sing on the pro menade deck.Only once didhe ive evidence of his hallucination in regard to royalty and that was when he invited the Canadian passengers, including the Cabinet ministers on board, to attend his approaching wedding, promising to introduce them all to the King and Queen, who were tu attend the festivities.* [He fete tlie Parisian at Quebec arrayed in evening dress, declaring that he had an engagement to sing that evening at the Ti- voli Gardens.That wae the last the Ottawa passengers saw of him.He appeared to be well supplied with money, which he carried in a waist belt.105 ON HIS WAY FROM QUEBEC.The unfortunate man seems to have attracted a good deal of attention wherever he happened to go.A well known citizen of Montreal, who travelled up from Quebec with Edwards, on Tuesday morning Jaët, gave a Star reporter an account of what took place.\u201cThe train,\u201d he said, \u201cleft Quebec Station, about eleven o'clock.A few and to the entrance to the depot, and in * were two policemen and a well dressed Englishman, I afterwards discovered was Edwerds.The policemen escorted the man to the shipping car in which my berth was, and from, what I raw, placed him in charge of the conductor, giving him the unfortunate fellows ticket.After the train start- ad, ] noticed nothing particular about Edwards\u2019 riuduct for a little time.My attention was first drawn to him by the porter requesting him not to sleep with his berth curtains wide open.This seemed to rouse him for he dressed and began walking u and down the passage taiking to himself.He then took off his clothes, put on a 1 ax | piir of black silk stockings and throwing a Scotch travelling rug over his bare should: era strutted up and down the car.He then attired himself in a faultless suit of even ing dress clothes: and wandered into the smoking rom which was crowded.His appearance, of course, excited comment, and he geemed quite willing to talk.For hours, in fact, till the {rain reached Mil® End.he told the crowd in the smoking room fairy tales about his being the King of England and offered them all kinds of niney the following day.GAVE AWAY CLOTHING.\u201cA new fit seized him during the night, and he went to a couple of large bags he had with bim, and distributed t> those in the car who would nccept them, articles of wearing apparel which weré of the finest make and must have cost considerable money.When the train reached Mile End station the crowd in the smoking apartment left the car, and Edwards disappeared with them.This was about half past six o'clock in the morning.The next I h about im was when I read in the Star Tuesday ening, of his actins at the Oriental baths and the police station.\u201cFrom what I saw of him Edward\u2019s appeared to be à gentleman in \u2018every way, \u201cmt one look at him was enough to show event the camual observ er went res wrong.Que \u201cIt poems Strange that the police in bec should \u2018find it nocomary tp drive to the depot with the man and then turn him on the train without any one to look after him.; \u201d It was nothing short of absolute cruelty in my opinion.; 'MEXTINGS AND AMUSEMENTS.4 9 10e ~~ 250 i ; 500 THE F.F.PROCTOR BIU

LIFE IN AUSSI S EASt-GONG CZAR\u2019S SUBIECTS NOT INOCULATED WITH THE HURRY IDEA.They Take Their Time Over Business Matters, Live Leisurely and Postpone Until To-morrow Everything \u2018 That They Can Avoid To-day.Doing It has been.frequently.stated that St.Pe- tersburg is not Russian; that the fact that it was founded in comparatively recent years and that it is the capital of the empire makes it essentially modern and cosmopolitan.While there is a great deal of truth in such a statement, the traveller who visits St.Petersburg before stopping at any other Russian city is impressed by nany features which are to be found in none of the other large European centres.in fact, we find here real Russian life grcativ modified by the superficial differences of life in England, France, and Germany.St.Petersburg, too, is influenced by the changes which are taking face in other parts of the world; it has not the same inertia as Moscow and the rest of Russia.Still, fev a Canadian point of view, the city is back: ward and slow.This statement cannot be applied s0 mush to its social life as to its methods of doing business and of introduc.ng improvements.f Russia has internal weakness to-day, one may find some explanation by walking along the Nevsky Prospect, in St.Pcters- burg.In the throng of Russians who arc always passing up and «down this busy thoroughfare there is no lack of fine looking men and of intelligent faces, but these men are all wearing the Czar\u2019s uniform, as srmy or navy officers, or aa \u2019tchiinovniks\u201d (civil officials).Those are almost the only profes sions which are opefi to gentlemen in Rus- Bla.BUSINESS HOURS EASY.Russian business hours are very easy.In St.Petersburg scarcely anybody thinks of breakfasting before 9 o'clock, and the pcople of fashion so turn night into day that they rise at noon.Nobody ever seems to be in a hurry; if you cannot transact business to-day, to-morrow will do as well.\u2018Tie business day not only be: gins late, but there is a long interval at noon for \u201cdejeuner,\u201d followed by the prolonged sipping of tea and the sinoking of numbers of cigarettes and looking through the papers.The Russian business man lingers over his luncheon in a way which suggesta the summer vacation.All his movements, even, are leisurely.When he rsauntérs back to his work again.Even the foreigners who go to Russia to carry on business are likely to fall into the same habits, for it is impossible to hustle when nob else does.\u201cDuring the winter the Russians who are in banks or counting houses, or stores, sip tea during the whole of business hours.It has been estimated that fifty glasses are often com- sumed per capita during the day.If such lav methods prevail among those who depend for their daily bread on the amount of their exertions, it may be imagined how tittle is accomplished by the army of \u201ctchiinovniks\u201d or Government employes, many of whom are in the service simply because of their title of nobility or their influential\u201d friends.Many who rest secure in \u2018fat positions on account of powerful connections niake scarcely a pretence o doing anything at all.Toward noon they drive up to the door of their Ministry behind a fast horse, enter their offices, look over a few papers, smoke a few cigarettes, then take a long recess for \u2018\u2018dejeuner\u201d; again, a few papers and cigarettes, then w glass of tea, and the day's duties are done.The real work may be accomplished by some subordinate who is less sure of his place.But even at the best conduet- ed ministries no business is ever done quickly, Papers may wait wecks on an officials\u2019 desk before they are attended to, then -when-a- matter -is up, the red \u2018tape begins.The Russians themselves are often keenly alive to the shortcomings of their institutions.A peasant was orice a why the Russian calendar was thirtoen days behind that of the rest of the world He scratched his mop of hair, thought a nunute, and then said: \u201cWhen Christ was born, the news was carricd to the different countries of the world apd was accepted at once everywhere but In Russia; here a tchinov nik was obliged first to make a report, and that took thirteen deys.\u201d Many methods are reported to by those anxious®to have certnin affairs attended by some department.In small matters an attendant ia sometimes bribed to place the pepérs at the\u2019 top of the pile on the official's desk.At play en important part.COST OF LIVING HIGH.The cost of living in St.Potershurg is very high, and there, where one expects to find the finest hotels in Russia, they are poor as well ar high priced.There is more comfort to be found at some of the hotels st, Moscow and ather, places in the interior.The

institutions of St.Peter-burz are the ztreet cars.Though electric lights are very generally used in the houses and public buildings, electricity has yet to be applied to street locomotion.The public

pavement is partly of wood, partly of cobblestones, and the wood pavement is renewed about once a year, during the eummer.The wood is not laid in oblong blocks, like those of London, but in thick blocks cut with five sides.They are set on a bed of planks, which, in turn, are laid on a foundation of ttone.In spite of all this, the roads are likely to sink in spots on account of the marshy natire of the soil\u2018on which the city is built.When there wooden roads are newly laid the sensation of riding over them is very pleasant, especially since the avetage vehicle is harnessed to a fast-going horse, This suggests the most picturesque fea tyre of Bt.Petersburg streets, the dros.lies and their drivers.The latter are clothed, even during the most intense heat of the summer, in long

London or Paris.If you exercise a little patience in bargaining you can go a good distance for 20*or 30 co pecks.No attention is ever paid to the printed tariff which ie fastened inside of every

Colonies Unite on the Change Proposed by Canada.LONDON, August 9.\u2014To Canada belongs the distinction of having suggested, as an alternative, the phrase which Lord Salis bury has announced as that which the, King will probably add to his royal title\u2014 \u201cand of all the British Dominions beyond the Seas,\u201d thus making the royal title \u201cEdward VII, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and of all the British Dominions - beyond the Seas, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India.\u201d This interesting fact is contained in u white paper containing \u2018\u2018correspondence relating to the proposed \u2018alteration of the Royal Style and Titles of the Crown.\u201d The correspondence took place by cable between Mr.Chamberlain and the Governors-Gen- eral of Canada and Australia, and the Governors of the Cape, Natal, New Zealand and Newfoundland, during January and February last.MR.CHAMBERLAIN'S MESSAGE.In the first instance, on January 29, Mr.Chamberlain sent the following cable to Lord Minto, in Canada, and.Lord Hope- toun, in Australia: \u201cKing Edward's accession offers an opportunity of considering the Monarchs titles, and I am very desirous that the separate and greatly increased importance of the Colonies should be recognized if possible.; \u201cI therefore venture to suggest \u2018King of Great Britain and Ireland and of Greater Britain beyond the Seas.\u2019 \u201cIt is possible that some of the self- governing Colonies might desire more special recognition as King of Canada.King of Australia, but this would give rise to very great difficulties.Other self govern jog Colonies, viz., New Zealind, Newfoundland, the Cape of Good Hope and Nata), could bardly be excluded.It would be also desirable to refer to the Crown Colonies, all of which would be covered by the expression which I: propose.\u201cI request that you will consult your Ministers most confidentially and inquire whether such recognition by the King would be gratifying to them, and, if so, whether they approve of the proposed LORD MINTO'S REPLY.- The Earl of Minto was the first to reply.His answer, which was received on February 6, intimated that the Canadian Government considered that the expression - \u2014\u201cBritain\u201d* was; ape, hardly definite or intelligible enough for.such a formal purpose, and suggested alternatives.It was as follows: \u201cReferring to your telegram of January 20.respecting the King's title.my responsible advisers desire me to express their high appreciation of your action in inviting the opinion of the Government of Canada on this important matter.They recognize the desirability, if the result can be reach- od without inconvenience of making His Majesty's titles convey, not only to his own subjects but to forei Powers as well, some idea of the world-wide character of the Empire over which he rules.hey entertain some doubt as Yo the appropriateness of the expression \u2018Greater Britain,\u2019 which, while convenient colloquially, is perhaps hardly definite or intelligible enough for such a formal purpose.hey would therefore suggest for consideration the ex- Pediency of retaining the title of King of reat Britain and Ireland and Empegor of India, and adding the words \u2018King of Cam ada, Australasia.South Africa and all the British Dominions beyond the Seas\u2019; but if the mention of greater Colonies be deemed unfair to remainder of smaller Colonies, or otherwise objectionable, the addition to title might be \u2018King of all the British Dominions beyond the Seas.\u201d The repetition of the word \u2018King\u2019 in the title would perhaps be open to criticism, in which case the word \u2018Sovercign\u2019 might be nsed as a suitable synonym.The King's title would then be \u2018King of 'Great Britain and Ire land, Emperor of India, and Sovereign of all the ritish Dominions beygnd the as.AUSTRALIA'S IDEA.An amendment very much to the same effect waz submitted on behalf of the Aus- \u2018tralian Commonwealth Ministers, by the Earl of Hopetoun, telegraphed on February With reference to your telegram of January D, the Ministers of the Commonwealth would prefer as the title of the Monareb the following, which appears to them to meet the wishes of His Majesty's: subjects in the Commonwealth of Austra: \u201cOf Great Britain and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India, and Sovereign Lord of the British Realms, beyond the Seas.\u201d THE OTHER COLONIES.On February 13 Mr.Chamberlain communicated by wire with the Governors of the Cape, Natal, New Zealand, and Newfoundland, transmitting the proposals which had been put forward by Canada and Australia.His d tch was as subjoined: King Bdward\u2019s accession offers an op- pertunity of considering the title of the onarch, and I am desirous that the separate and greatly increased importance of the Colonies should be recognized, if possible.The following suggestions have been made: First \u2014 \u2018King Great Britain and Ire- : Emperor of India, and King (or Bovereign) of Canada, Australasia, and all the British Dominions beyond the Seas.\u201d Ëcoend, Addition to prrepent title of words \u201cSovereign rd, or Ki of the British Realms beyond the Scan Third \u2014Addition to present title of the vos thing of all the British Dominions ; \u20ac Seas;\u201d withou ifying an perte Cols eu D whole, efer the third - gestion.I shall be glad if you wili consult your Ministers confidentially, and inquire whether such recognition by His Majesty would be ratifying to them, and, if so, which they would prefer of the above.\u201cEW.F.Hely-Hutehi Govern .F.Hely-Hutchinson, Governor of Natal, replied on the 17th, favouring one of the two shorter of the proposed titles.Your telegram of February 13 having been laid before Ministers, Prime Minister bas replied that the third \u2018alternative, \u201cKing of all the British Dominions\u2019 beyond the Beas,\u201d in preferred.He adds that such a recognition of the Colonies will be gratifying to Ministers.e same view was taken by the Minis- tere of Cape Colony, whose reply was communicated by Sir Alfred Milner (as he then wash on February 18: With reference to your telegram of Fétt ruary 13, I Have just received a minute from Limisters, saying that they desire to express their strong approval of the idea us embodied in the proposal of the Secretary of - State, and that of the three sugges tions named they greatly prefer the thord.but they suggest that the title should be ag follows: \u201cKin Ireland, and of British Dominions beyond the Seas, and Emperor of India.\u201d On February 19, Sir H.E.McCallum for warded the sentiments of the Newfoundland Government, who made a similar choice: With reference to your telegram of February 13, my Ministers feel much gratified at the suggested recognition by the King.They would prefer the addition to the present title which is numbe 3 in your telegram.The last response received was that of the Earl of Ranfurly, Governor of New Zealand, and this also voted in favour cf the addition of \u201cKing of all the British Dominions beyond the Seas\u201d to* His Majesty's title: , In reply to your telegram of February 13, my Government have unanimously decided in favour of the third suggestion, to add \u201cKing of all the British.Dominions be- yo the Seas.\u201d his would gratify the people of New Zealand.; LORD STRATHCONA\u2019S VIEWS.(London Daily News.) \u201cThe people of Canada,\u2019 said Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, the High Commissioner for the Dominion.\u201cconsider themselves as Englishmen in the largest and best sense of the word.They would have been glad if Canada could have been specifically mentioned in the new title, but of course the inclusion of the mames of the \u2018great self-governing communities would ave made the name too long.and they will be quite satisfied with the decision of the Government.It will be cratifvine to Canada and the Colonies generallv they should be recognised in the title, and it is a very proper thing.The circumstances are very different from what they were a few years ago, now that Canada has its six millions of population, and Australia a number not very much less.\u201d Doubtless the Canadian people feel, now that they have joined this country in its military emterprises bv contributing the fine force raised by vour lordship, that they have an especial right to recognition?\u2019 \u201cOh,\u201d modestly replied Lord Strathcona, \u201cit is well recognised by the Colonies that they form part of the British people, They willingly gave such help as they could, and they would continue to do so.here can be no question about that.\u201d \u201cCHECKED BY THE COLONIES.\u201d (London Daily Néws.) The whole correspondence, indeed, reflects more credit on the Calonies than on the Colonial Office.It is scarcely necessary to say that, even in so|vital a matter as the King's title, the Prime Minister is not mentioned, that thd Colonial Minister speaks for the Empire as if he were already its accredited bead.Government suggests,\u201d but \u201cI venture to suggest.\u201d Such phrases are no doubt used with a full sense of the unimportance of Lord Salisbury\u2019s opinion, ahd.still more, of that of the rest of the Cabinet.But though a Cabinet Minister is a thing of naught to Mr.Chamberlain, a Colonial Governor still counts.The reply of Lord Minto is a model of common sense.and Lord Hopetoun echoed almost precisely the same sentiments from Australia.For reasons which are rfectly clear, neither Canada nor Australia showed the smallest eager: ness for the ruggested titles, \u201cKing of Canada,\u201d \u201cKing of Australia.\u201d They have chosen the styles of \u201cDominion\u201d and \u201cCommonwealth,\u201d and Mr.Chamberlain's proposal fits ill with these words.Cana instead, proposed \u201cBritish Dominion beyond the sea,\u201d and Australia pro \u201cRealms bevond the sea.\u201d Neither would have anything to sav to \u2018Greater Britain.\u201d Thu checked on hia own ground, *Mr.Chamberlain made the best of the situation, and fell in with the very sensible and harmless suggestion of the Colonies, which ig now adopted NEW HAMPSHIRE WIND-STORM.Two Persons Killed and Séven Injured at Portsmouth, N.H.PORTSMOUTH, NH.August 9.\u2014The most disastrous wind-storm since the summer of 1888, when a pavilion at Hampton Beach was demolished and several persons were killed, passed over here yesterday afternoon, causing the death of two persons on Seavey\u2019's Island, and injuring half .Ma dozen others.The dead are: Mrs.Mealey, of New York, wife of Howard M.Mealey, a member of the Naval band at thie navy yard;

\u201cand much more than most people would have done under the circumstances.Gavin himsel! could not ask more \u2014 for, after all, there must be something disgraceful in her past, or she wouldn't have been so awfully up- But her chief satisfaction was that she had succeeded so easily in separating Ua- briclle and her lover under conditions which made their\u2019 chance of reunion 80 infinitesimal, while at the same time she manaked to retain Gabrielle's friendship, and had warded off every chance of her own manoeuvring in the matter becoming known to Gavin.There was but one little act of treacher i uneasiness: She had opened and read the letter which Gabrielle had written for her to give to Gavin Mere: dith; and her impatient curiosity had been so keen that she had done it clumsily.Ins of waiting until she was at home and able to steam the envelope, she \u2018had opened if in the train, and had torn \u2018the envelope Bo that it could not be re-closed.Before reading it, she had not meant to give the letter to Gavin at all; but when she found, as she did, that it would be the beat instrument she could use to wean him from his infatuation, her \u2018irritation was intense, Gabriello had written in the first moments of panic, when her heart was full of the sudden agony and between the lines it was easy to read the suggestion that disgrace and pervonal unworthiness were the causes of her flight.And Mrs.Carew knew quite well how to give the cunvincing touchea to that impression, if only «he could make Meredith believe that the Jet- ter passed \u2018to him in the exact condition in which Mra.Carew had received it.And even in this respect fortune be! \u201cie - TIRED, ACHING FEET.Are soothed and rested by Foot Elm.After using it walking becomes a pleasure and Jou can stand for houra without effort.oot Elm gives you solid comfort with your feet you never knew before.Price 25e n box at all druggists or by mail Stott & Jury, Bowmanville, Ont.\"4 y - 1861 \u201cIt will never come,\u201d was the desolate |\u201d BUY A LOT Montreal Annex for your son or daughter and teach them to save $3.00, $4.00 or even $6.00 monthly.;

effective.\"Lieut-Col.Roy, D.O.C., is now busily en- Baged in perfecting the arrangements for these displèys, which, vontrary to general xpectation, will not include a review.he precént intention is simply to have he>troops stationed at intervals along the ntire route of the Royal procession from Place Viger station to Lord Stratheona\u2019s esidence on the day of the Duke\u2019s arrival, pnd to detail cerfain regiments to subse- Quently act as guards of honour to the oyal party during their sojourn in town.In order that the troops may look slick aud span for the occasion, new issues of niforms have been tecured for several of he local regiments, and these will be given put in the course of a week or two.The sgues are not complete in several instances, commanding officers simply requisitioned or what they thought was needed in their respective corps.D eome instances as high as 200 umiforms were asked for, while in others, as in the ase of the Vics, a mode-t 50 wax all that

said the duties which the local militia would have to perform on the occasion of the royal visit, would mot be of a very onerous character.Guard duty would form the principal portion of their work, and as this would be red in turn by the different corps, lhe burden on all would probably be the same.On the day of the Duke's arrival the troops would be stationed at intervals of two paces along both sides of the route of the royal procession.This arrangement he hoped would allow of the entire route beng guarded by-the militia organizations of ibe cg and the various eadet corps.At Me- Gill College no troops would probably he ed, aa it was the intention of the Mc- authorities to mass the students cn both sides of Sherbrooke street in much the sdme manner as the militia would be massed ut.other points of the royal progress.(vi.Roy thought that it would facilitate the vork of the troops very materially if the city would expend a little money in roping off the sidewalk from the notual route ot ) jon.If this were dope, be rays the crowds would be confined to the sidewalk, and a splendid opportunity would be given e royal couple to review the soldiers in Passing.The colonel, however, suggested that the rope should be of wire, In order that the crowds might be prevented from cutting it.The cost of wiring the entire route in the manner enggest would, be thi be very small, when compared with the advantages which would result to the militia and others by the adoption of suih a method for keeping the crowds in bounds, In regard to the review at \"Quebec.Col.Roy expected that all the local corps would participate therein.It was his intention, he said the (3c ernment ordered the troops \u2018to the Ancient Capital, to arrange tor ther \u2018transportation thither by steamer, if possi- yep ble.ree steamers would probably be employed for the purpose, and each would a couple of regiments.\u2018The men sleep and eat on the boats as arrangements would be made with the steum- ehip company whereby the latter would undertake to supply the regiments with rations and sleeping quarters.lt was possible that the men would have to remain at Quebec for two days, but, of course, nothing definite had yet been decided by the Government on this score.1.Roy, in conclusion, stated that everything possible was being done to improve the appearance of the local regiments, and that.1 requisitions for further clothing were received from commanding officers, they would be immediately forwarded to Ottawa.It was the desire of the Government that the troops should present a neat ad creditable appearance on the occasion of the royal visit, and to that end an abundance of new uniforms were being issued out of the Government stores at Ottawa.Very Clever Elephants.Colonel

$30 Collection of Stamps and 820 in Cash.Mr.F.W.Wurtele, manager of the International Stamp Company, 126 St.James street, has been the victim of a sharp trick, and the detectives are now on the lookout for one J.H.Walker, who claimed to be representing \u2018The Portland Cement Company, of Chicago.\u201d During & recent visit to Montreal Walker disposed of a cheque of the face value of 850, in exchange for a collection of postage stamps, to Mr.Wurtele, securing 820 in change.The cheque, which was drawn against the account of the \u201cPortland Cement Company, of Chicago,\u201d on the Hibernian Banking Association, of Chicago, han since turned out to be abso- Jutely worthless.Walker came to Montreal about a week ago, and made his headquarters at the Windsor Hotel.He put on considerable style and ordered up the best in the house on all occasions.He represented himself to be connected with the company already mentioned, -but which, in fact, has no existence.Soon after his arrival in the city he visited Mr.Wurtele, and by means of a letter of advance from the Chicago concern he soon established his identity with the stamp dealer, and got into his confidence.He also showed a collection of valuable stamps, and, of course, interested the dealer, from whom he subse quently purchased $30 worth of rare stamps, \u2019 | WILL INCREASE STRENGTH OF THE VICTORIA RIFLES.The District Officer Commanding -Recommends Adding Two Companies.It is probable that before another drill season comes round the strength of the 3rd Regiment, Victoria Rifles, of Canada, will be increased by the addition of two companies of 42 men each, thus bringing the establishment of the corpe up to 3368 rank and fyle, instead of 272 as at present.Such an increase has long been felt to be necessary, and it has at last been recommended to the favourable consideration of Major-General O'Grady-Haly by Lieut.- Col.Roy, D.O.C.It is expected that the general officer commanding will concur in the recommendation, and that he will une the Minister of Militia to carry it into effect.The Vies, it may be suid, have always been over-strength, in fact, they have had invariably at their church parades and inspections, as well as at the closing drills each season, upwards of 60) or 70 men in excess of what their establishment demanded.They could easily have hal more, if they had had sufficient uniforms and helmets wherewith to fit out the extra men.If Col.Roy\u2019s recommendation be carried into effect; it is probable that the mustor of the Vies in future will be no larger than it has been in the past, but there will be this difference; the unent will receive pay for 336 officers and men instead of 273 and there will be plenty of uniforms for the larger number.lt is confidently expected that the change suggested by the D.O.C.will go into effect before the winter sete in: Hail Storm Near Kingston.(Special to the Star.)

100 of his chief officers were to be united to ladies from the noblegc Persian and Medean families, and 10,000 of his Greek soldiers were to marry 10,000 wo men\u201420,202 people married at once.On a plain near the city a vast pavilion was erected on pillars sixty feet high.It wae hung and spread with the richest tissues, while the gold and precious stones which ornamented it would have made one\u2019s eyes blink.Adjoining this building were 100 gorgeous chambers for the hundred bridegrooms, while for the remaining 10,000 an outer court was ipclosed and bung with costly tapestry, ahd tables were spread outside for the multitude.A separate sent was assigned each pair,and all were arranged in a semicircle on either hand of the Royal throne.Each bridegroom had received a golden vessel for_ his libs tion, and when the last of these had been announced by trumpets to the multitude, the brides cntered the banquet-hall and wok their places.The ceremony was very simple; the King gave hia band to Statira of East Toronto, Kuemaa, | A SUIT AGAINST {THE GOVERNMENT, MONTREAL EXPOSITION COMPANY ASK PETITION OF RIGHT, To Bring Suit Against the Province of Quebeo to Recover $11,- 849 Interest on the Purchase Price of the Old Exhibition Buildings\u2014 Sum of $122,000 Involved.The Montreal Exposition Company is taking an action of considerable interest against the Quebec Government.Officials of the company have just returned from Quebec, where they have filed a petition of right against the Government for the sum of 811,849, being interest for two years on $122,000, the value of the Montreal Exposition buildings, when the Government decided to purchase them.In addition to this sum the officials of the defunct company are demanding the right to sue the Government for the sum of $122,000.- There are mank peculiar facts in con: nection with these/càses.Ald.Sadlet and Mayor Prefontaine\u2019\u201d were officials of the Exposition compuny.Ald.Sadler said: \u201d \u201cIt is true that there has been filed a petition of right against the Quebec Government to recover the two sums mentioned, by the officers of the old Montreal Exposition Company.This petition of right is nothing more nor less than a request that the company may be allowed to go to law with the Government; this course is necessary before the Government can be sued.\u201cHow it is,\u201d was asked that the Government comes to owe the company these large amounts of money.\u201d \u2018\u2019Îhe explanation is not long,\u2019 Ald.Sadler, \u201cand is as follows: PURCHASED THE BUILDINGS.Some three years ago the Montreal Exposition Company failed.The numerous buildings on the place belonged to the company.The company also had other valuable rights.ter some correspondence the Government decided to purchase the buildings, ete., by arbitration.This was considered a fair offer, and was accepted.Three arbitrators were then appointed, and after a lot of work the Government, on the report of the arbitrators agreed to pay the company $122,000 for the buildings, ete.These buildings were then sold by auction by the Government.Naturally we then looked to the Government to keep to its agreement with the company, and pay; but it has not done ro.The fact is that to-day the $122,000 1s still owing and this in spite of unnumbered promises which the Government has made to pay.There is not the slightest reason why the Government should not have paid; it got the buildings and auctioned them off, and should be in a position to settle.The truth is that all kinds of obstacles have been raised, with the result that the officials of the company have determined > answered history of the case.THE MAYOR'S STATEMENT.Mayor Prefontaine upon being seen said: \u201cI presume it is not a nice thing to ask power to sue the Government, but the facts are such that this cannot be helped.The directors of the old Exposition Company should have got this money years ago.The Government should keep to its promises and engagements as well as private individuals.We are tired of the! many excuses which Lave been made for not paying over the cash.Why.only in July last, the Government made the most solemn promises to pay $40,000 on account; July came and went, but the cash did not come.In addition to the $122,000 which is owing for the exposition buildings the Government also owes us almost $12,000 for interest on the amount.So far we have not a a cent of either capital or interest.have no doubt but that the \u2018\u201c\u201cpetition of right\u201d we have filed will be granted, and then we can then sue the Government.It may be that the matter will be settled by the cash being paid without the unpleasantness of going to court;

LONDON, August 9\u2014The balloon acvi- dent to M.Saûtos-Dumont in Paris is regarded here as proof conclusive, that the airship is as yet nothing more than a highly dangerous toy.There is a good deal of sympathy for the plucky aeronaut.Advices from Paris state that the aero- naut attributes his escape to a medal of St.Benoit, presented to him by the Countess d'En, the other day, on the occasion of one of his ascents.This medal he wears attached to a bracelet on his wrist.When M.Santos-Ddmont referred to this\u2019 belief he reverently kissed the medal.M.Santos-Dumont gives the following account of his trip: \u201cThis time it is not the fault of the motor, which worked admirably, it was the balloon which caused the accident.I rounded the Eiffel Tower with admirable speed, as I had a favourable wind, and was already returning over the Bois de Boulogne when the wind freshened suddenly, and struck me gideways.Like a «hip in a storm the balloon pitched and rplled, now and then recovering its normal position.Another sudden veering of the wind caused the front of the balloon to pitch downwards, and the ropes connecting it with the frame canght in the propeller.which struck the balloon wires.They broke, I saw the danger, and my only thought was to descend as quickly as possible.is was doing successfully, but I was driven by a contrary wind in the direction of the Eiffel Tower.Again the breeze veered and threw me against a building.The balloon burst like a toy gas balloon and the fragments fell, completely covering me.The rest you know.1 am unhurt.I have not a scratch and will soon recommence.\u201cThe motor is uninjured.I have worked it for ten minutes.I will now send jt to St.Clond and set to work repairing the balloon.It is simply a matter of sewing the pieces together.\"The cause of the accident was that the balloon was insufficiently fill new this.The ventilater also worked badly\u201d M.Deustche, who was present at the start, shed tears when he saw the balloon falling.In an interview, after highly Jraising the courage and skill of M, Santos- umont he said: \u201cI am afraid the experiments will not be conclusive, as his balloon will always be at the mercy of the wind, which is not the kind of airship we have dreamed of.\u201d or Contract for New ¢So0o\u2019 Canal.(Special to the Star.)
