PRESS GALLERY OF THE LEGISLATURE, QUEBEC, March 13.- The hill of the Notre Dame strect proprietors has now only one more stage to pass through in the Assembly, and from present appearances the third reading will be carried this ai.\u2018ternoon.It passed through committee of \u201cthe whole, anid Was reported.Tist night, to the House, which concurred in the amendments made in committee.When the House went again into committee upon the measure, 1 took up the amendment of Mr.Roy which reads as follows: \u2018 \u201cThe city of Montreal shall repay with interest to any rate payer.who was pro prietor at the time of the expropriation or to his assigns or representatives all sums of money, paid by the city to the proprictor or the person purchasing from him.for any tax imposed for the purpose of paying the cost of such expropriation under sessment roll.\u201cThe purchaser of any moveable liable for any such tax or his representatives shall pay with interest, to the person who shall have transferred the same or to his representatives, any sum deducted or retained, expressly or tacitly, from the price of transfer in view or in consideration of the obligation of paying any such expropriation tax.\u201cThe person who shall have so transferred the property, or his representatives, shall for the purpose of exervising such recourse, be subrogated in all the privileges and real and personal rights of the city of Montreal.Nevertheless the repayment of the costs any as ve of \u2018the different suits between various ratepayers and the city of Montreal, in connection with such expropriation, cannot be demanded.\u201cIn addition to the borrowing powers conferred upon it by its charter, the city of Montreal shall have the right to borrow all sums required for carrying out this act.\u201d *Mayor Cochrane asked explanations of the latter part of the motion, and Mr.Roy spoke briefly, but without throwing any new light upon the matter.- -e Hon.Dr.Guerin objected &¥ the motion altogether, as being out of order.It might be perfectly equitable, but it proposed to authorize the city to do things quite contrary to the Intentions of the framers of the hill, and to make new loans.He asked the chair to rule that no proper notice of such legislation bad been given.The debate upon the point of order threatening to become tedious, Dr.Guerin said that he would not delay the business of the House at present, but would withdraw the point of order, and raise it again upon the motion of the third reading of the bill.After several remarks from Mr.Prevost, Mr.Weir drew attention to the serious character of the statement made by Mr.Prevost, to the \u2018effect that some of the proprietors of Notre Dame street cast had disposed of their property to a syndicate of speculators who had invested in it with the confidence that they could influence the House to adopt this very legislation now before the committee.He thought the committee would do well to call a halt and seriously look into the matter.Notwithstanding this appeal the vote was called for, and the amendment adopted by a vote of 24 to 18.The committee thereupon rose and reported the bill to the Mouse, with the amendments made to it.The report of the committee was received, the amendments read a first and second time, and concurred in, and the third reading of the bill was proposed by Dr.Lacombe, when Messrs.Weir and Cochrane interposed an objection | and the third reading consequently went over to the next sitting of the House.(Continued on page seven.)

LONDON, March 13\u2014The official announcement yesterday of the abandonment of the proposed visit of King Edward and Queen Alexandra to Ireland, whereby the Ministers assume the responsibility for an Imperial boycott, is quite unprecedented in form, and causes keen discussion.In connection with the suggestion sought to;be conveyed, both by the announcement itself and the comment of the Ministerial organs, that the decision arrived at was directly due to the outburst of sympathy of the Irish members in the House of Commons when the news of the disaster to (General Methuen's column was officially communicated to that House, it is pointed out that it was announced weeks ggo that the visit would be portpone .There seems good reason to elieve that Their Majesties themselves all along desired to carry out the Coronation visit, and though they have deferred\u2018it on the advice of the Ministers, they have no intention of relieving the latter from the onus.THE NATIONALIST VIEW.The Irish papers keenly discuss the matter.The Freeman's Journal, voices the Nationalist views, saying: .\u201cThe Ministers have put a veto on the intended visit of the Sovereign to a portion of his dominions.1t would be difficult for His Majesty to reject the veto of his constitutional advisers, but it is plain that be insisted that tbe responsibility should be theirs and not hie.i8_ Ministers could not venture.to allow the King to see with his nwn eyes, and hear with fis \u2018own ears, of the barbarous methods of the Castle and the deep resentment of his people.His presence here would have been a sore encumbrance to the coercionists.\u201cThere was imminent danger that his visit might have converted him to Home Rule or confirmed his existing conviction.Therefore.the ministers in their own interest and in the interest of Unionism, have forbidden the visit.\u201d IRISH UNIONIST OPINION.Even the Conservative and Unionist papers regard the abandonment of Their Majesties\u2019 visit to Ireland as being a severe slap at England's government of Freland.and as a blazing advertisement of barren states manship.REDMOND AND METHUEN'S DEFEAT.The London Timea to-day prints a letter dissenting from the suggestion that if John\" Redmond, the chairman of the Irish Parliamentary party and chairman of the United Irish League, had been in the House ofCom- mons when some of the Irish members cheered thie announcement of General Meth- uen\u2019s defeat and capture, he would have rebuked his followers for their outburst of exaltation.The writer refers, ab evidence to the contrary, to the meeting at Chicago last autumn, \u201cin honour of the franchester mur- dercrs\u201d\u201d which Mr.Redmond addressed, Ad to the \u201cproceedings which were official opened by Finerty, the dynamiter.\u201d __ After quoting the resolution passed at that Miceting and also referving to Mr.Redmond\u2019s speech at New York advocating the hanging of Mr.Chamberlain, the writer aka, \u201cwhy

Health.A LIFE OF USEFULNESS Deceased Gentleman Accomplished\u2019 a Great Workin St.Patrick\u2019s Parish.Word was received in the city to-day of the death of Rev.Father J.P.Quinlivan.P.S.S., parish priest of St.Patrick's, which occurred last evening at the Seminary of St.Sulpice, Pans, France.Owing to failing health Father Quinlivan had retired from active work in the administration of the parish a little over a month ago.He was not thought to be dangerously ill and ex- LATE REV.FATHER J.P.QUIN- LIVAN, P.8.8., Parish Priest of St.Patrick\u2019s.pected that after resting for some months in different parts of France he would be able to return and again take up his duties as pastor.Since arriving in Paris a fortnight ago.He has been confined to his room.Death was due to complications brought on by catarrh of the head.Although the eablegram announced that the funeral would take place in Paris to-mor- row, Rev.Martin Callaghan, the acting pastor of the churcb, has not been informed as to whether any definite arrangements had been completed.It is not known whether Father Quinlivan expressed any desire that his remains should be brought back to this city.and the fathers of the church are awaiting furtber details beford deciding on what course they will follow.Born at Stratford, Ont., on September 17, 1846, Father Quinlivan receiv his early training in that town and pursued his clas- \u2018sical studies in the school of the Basilian Fathers, Toronto.After graduating with high honours, he came to Montreal and entered the department of Philosophy in the Seminary of St.Sulpice.After completing his studies there he pursued for four years his theological studies in the Grand Sem- inarv and then went to Paris, where he entered the Seminary of St.Sulpice, but poor health soon compelled him to return to this city.Shortly after his return, on September 28, 1878, he was ordpined priest by the late Archbishop Fabre, and immediately became professor of philosophy at the Grand Seminary.It was in 1879 that he first became connected with St.Patrick\u2019s parish.After serving for a number of years as vicar he was appointed chief assistant priest to the pastor, the late Father Dowd, al was entrusted with a large portion of the administration of the finances of the parish.Ou the death of Rev.Father Dowd, Eather Quinlivan was immediately appointed to su im.Perhaps the most prominent English- speaking member of the Sulpician Order in Canada, and the head of the largest Irish Catholic parish, he has since that time occupied a very prominent position before \u2018the public, and has been interested in many works of charity and education.CHANGES IN CHURCH GUVERNMENT It was under his pastorate that such important changes were made in the government of the leading English Catholic Church in the city.A young man, he firmly believed\u201d that a church should progress with the times, and he acted on this.It was not long, therefore, before the church was thoroughly renovated, new al-|- tars erected, and new pews placed in position.In fact it was practically a new c .-, Endowed with great administrative qualities, he did everything in a quiet businesslike manner.A pleasing, though by no means an eloquent preacher, his sermons were, fori the most part, filled with the thoughts of the simple teachings of Our |, Lord.What be aimed at most of all in them was to obtain results.In everytbing he understood that he had a work to do, and did it.For a number of years he had been suffering from an internal trouble, and though often counselled to give up active work, he seemed to think that there was 80 much to be done that it would be better to do it, and that afterwards there would be time to take care of himself.And though, oftentimes ill, he was ever an indefatigable worker, and every department of the parochial work was handled in a thoroughly businesslike and satisfactory: manner.A most affable man, he was ever the friend of every member of the congregation rich and poor alike, his chief aim being ever to help them one and all.A distinctly spiritual man, he ever preached to others by the example of his own life, and always led the life he would have others lead.NEED OF CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL.After attending to the works ofethe parish that needed immediate attention: on his becoming parish priest, he looked around and found that the great need of the parish and the English Catholic population of the tity was to have a Catholic High School.The leading parishioners were m acquainted with his views on the subject, and on his death the late Hon.Edward Mur phy provided for the erection of such an institution.Shortly afterwards Father Quinlivan called a meeting of the Irish Catholics of thie city, at which it was cided that the presdnt building should\u2019 erected at thé abner of Lagaucheticre and Toren nee stor ¥ opened in September, 1899.Father Quinli van has been president of the Board o Governors since the school was established.Since 1897 he has also been.a member of the Catholic Board of the School Commissioners, as the representative of Archbishop Bructiesi, and looked after the interests of the English schools in the city.Under his spiritual advice the different societies in the parish made marked progress and many of them are at the present time among the most influential in the city.During the past couple of years owing to failing health e has been unable to continue active work.After spending upwards of a year in the Southern States he returned in November last and again assumed charge of the parish.Shortly after the beginning of the vear, on the advice of his physicians.he again decided to give up work for the present and only two weeks ago sailed for France in company with Mgr.Begin, of Quebec.THE LEGISLATURES CONSENT NECESSARY if Fletcher's Field Is Utilized for Hospital Site.CITY ATTORNEY'S - OPINION At Mass Meeting To-morrow Night Chief Features of Scheme Will be Discussed.Mr.Archambeult, joint -eity attorney, said to-day that if the City Council desired to use that portion of Fletcher's Field where the old Exhibition building had been, it | would have to get permission from the Legislature to do so.lt was this site that the Council endorsed for a civic contagious diseases hospital on Monday.\u201cBut the Legislature gave the City Coun: cil permission to use a portion of Fletcher's Field for certain purposes should it so desire?.\u201cThat is true; but the portion was clearly specified at the time.It was that section of the field near the Hotel Dieu hospital.It stands to reason, if Council desires to use some other portion of the field the consent of the Legislature must be obtained.1 do not nuderstand how the Council could have misunderstood the opinion of the city attorneys on this question at the meetivg on Monday, Qur opinion very plain- Iv specified the portion of the field which might be used.Instead of the specified portion being selected an qntirely different portion of the field was chosen.\u201d Ald.Ouimet was at the City Hall to-day and state] that a mass meeting of citizens would be held to-morrow night in St.Jean Baptiste market, in order to protest against Fletcher's Field being used for a site for a civic Hospital.A number of aldermen, and many other citizens, had promised to speak against the site.Falling Wall Created a Scare.People occupyng the buildings in the vicinity.of the corner |of McGill and Notre Dame streets were much frightened, yesterday nfternoon, by the falling of a huge piece of wall in the rear of destroyed Thomas May & Co.building.Had the regular batch of teams, with thein drivers, been standing in the lane leading from Notre Dame there would have been great loss of life.The

TORONTO, March 13.\u2014The death of the wife of the Premier cast a gloom over the proceedings of the Legislature yesterday.The vivacity that ordinarily characterizes the proceedings of the House was absent, but nevertheivss it was a day of hard work and a tremendous hole was made in the order paper.Among the multitude of measures cou- sidered, the chief was the Prohibition Re- ierendum Bill.December 4 was announe- cd as the date for taking the election.Mr.Marter moved for a new basis, whereby if 81xty per cent.of the voters on the voters\u2019 hist voted, fifty-five per cent.of them could carry prohibition.Reduced to decimals, Mr.Marter's proposal that thirty-three per cent.of the total number of registered voters in Ontario can make prohibition law.There was no discussion on these amendments, which were declared lost on a division.Hen.Mg.Davis, in answer to a question, said the area of land covered by the various pulp concessions granted by the province since 1504 was 275 miles.\u2026 Mr.MeDiarmid\u2019s bill to provide further checks against corrupt practices on the ~his- | part\u2014of the officials at the elections; to do away with the numbered ballot and generally to deter voters from the practice of bribery or personation, was lost on its second reading, as was Mr.Jamieson\u2019s bill to reduce the membership of the Legislature from $4 to 60 and providing for redistribution by a commission every ten years.At the request of Mr.Gross his \u2018bill relating to civil engineers, which has caused 80 much contention, was discharged.The Temiscaming railway bill passed its third reading.Well Known Lady Dead.(Special to the Star.)

Wednesday QUEBEC MEMBERS AGAINST IT The Minister of Justice Says Would be Suiçide for Provinces.(Staff Correspondence of the Star.) TRESS GALLERY, , OTTAWA, Ont, March 13.\u2014Yesterday was a private members\u2019 day in the House aml ua debate took place on a niolion to make the laws respecting civil rights and property in Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia uniform, This was contemplated by à resolution of the Quebec Confereitve und Incorporated as # clause of the Confe-leration Act.Mr.Russell (Mais) vus the sponsor \u2018or the resolution > it and tie prinopal spraker in its behalt, \u201cMr.Fitépateuk took the ground (hat it the provinces adopted such a law passed by l\u2019ariisineut :t wouid be tantamount to comuitting suicide.Je opposed it us destructive of provincial autonomy.The Quebec members rallied against the propo- sul.It was not proposed that the motion should affect Queber, but it was evident they considered that any weakening of provincial authorit: in the other provinces would have a reltex etiect in Quebec.The motion wus taiked out.*e ne Mr.Demers, Iberville, introduced his bil} Supreme and Exchequer .e Courts acts.He expluned it bres.speak: ing in French, saying that it wa: proposed by the Ill tu restrict the appeals to these Courts to cases arising under rederal acts.Mr.Scott ritroduced a nid to amend the Railway Act of 1888, w À .ae The afternoon was devoted to a debate of an academic question raised hy Mr.Russell, of Hants.Mr.Russell's propoaition was embodied in the following motion: That in the opinion of this House the time bas arrived when steps should be taken to carry out the provisions of sec, 94 of the Briteh North America Act, for securing the uniformitv of the laws relating to : Property and civil rights in Ontario, Nova Econa and New Brunswick, and in such other provinces as hive been brought within the scope of the section since the passing of the II.N.A.act, He described this us one of the most important questions that could engage the attention of l\u2019arliament.The game idea found expression in clause 53 of the Confederation resolutions adopted at Quebec, It wag popularly supposed that the prin cipal objections arvse from Quebec.but Mr.Russell disputed this, as the snfaller provinces wotld never have sacrilived tleir provincial autanomy in the way that was implied by a legislative union, and if he thought the motion was open to objection as containing a menace to the federal\u201d prin.i- ple he would not ask support for it.Aster dealing with the essence of the principles of federalism, he went on to deal with the yoint that property and civil rights were delegated to the provinces.Still the righ\u2018s to property in bills of exchange and promis.scry notes were relegated to the Dominion, le dealt at leugth with the civil laws of Quehee and conceded the right of the people to retain these laws.Still there were subjects in which there should be uni formity.There was the law in regard to tiic sales of goods and contracts.Falne was true in regard to the laws =giinst fraud, the domestic relations of husband and wife, their respective property sight und succession to property.\u201che law on all these subjects should be uniform, as were those respecting bills of exchange.He quoted resolution 33, of the Quebec: Conference, and Sir John Macdonald's opinion on\u2019 this provision.The resolution anticipated an effort to bring into effect that rdvision.They were no mere idle words, but the views of a practical man.and it was confidently expected by Sir John Macdonald that practical steps would taken to give effeet to this provision.Why bad they remained inoperative?Why had no practical action been taken?Mr.Russell attributed the delay to the multiplicity of other questions which engag- attention.One province had to be placated, and vast public works undertaken.He thought that at last the time was ap- portune to begin the consideration of the matter.He lnid riress on the point that Canada could thus take advantage of the reat work of the British Par- iament in the codification of different laws.He instanced the great work of Mr.(afterwards Justice) Chalmers \u2018n codifying the laws and thousands of decisions respecting bills of exchange.In 1890 an act was p \u201cin Canada making uni: form the laws on this subject.A digest was also made of the laws pe.specting the sales ôf goods and also of parte x o but ny e a) of thess works ults, an ul u good results, should be adopted according to the changes d circumstances to C a, and argu- an ed that confusion would result from having: them adopted by the provinces separ ately, as the bills were certain to be ameni- ed in different ways.He discussed the con- fuaion that resulted from the conflicting of old French Jaws, quoting a number of authorities, and thought that even the members from Quebec would welcome uni- +-fermity.-He quoied Marine layr, the law respecting the incorporation and winding up of companies, as ones that should be made uniform.He also pointed out at some Jength that in regard to contract law there were a number of points still unsettled, which might be defined by act of Parlia mebt, but even after codification, it woul talle a number of cases to fix the jurisprudence.He paid a tribute to the debt owed to the litigious citizen,saying that if the blood of martyrs was thg seed of the church.the tears shed anf costs paid by defeated litigants were the gentle rains that caused their jurisprudence to flourish.He illustrated the confusion that resulted in the uncertainty as to what British acts passed before we had legislatures in force, and said that Ontario had defined what statutes were in force and thought the other provinces should follow the example.Such action as contemplated by the motion would obviate the conflicts between the jurisdiction of the Dominion and the provinces.It was important: that so far as they could they should set these questions at rest by the combined action of Parliament and the provinces.Mr.Flint, Yarmouth, seconded the motion and spoke briefly on it.*e -e ae Mr.Hag .Lanark, agreed with Dr.Russell, oust.it should be easy to bring about this except in the Quebec.He said that Sir John Macdonald wanted a legislative union and thought that the Supreme Court and Privy Council would give this completion to the act.Mr.Borden thought such a movement | must emanate from the provinces.Parlia- | mene bad the right to pass laws on this subject, but they could not be passed by the provinces.- .It was lle to act until the provinces had got together and ascertained if there was basis on which they could agree.He any hey a not mean to minimise the good work being done.but pointed out a number of difficulties that would confront Parliament.among them, that which puzzled the Supreme Court and Privy Council, to decide what cases came within civil right.He sug- ested to the Minister of Justice that the drafting of statutes could be improved.ah.vo Mr.Fitzpatrick agreed with the suggestion, and expressed his belief in codes, believing it was hetter to have general principles of law expressed by a code than based on decisions of the court.The Roman Em- pre had passed away.but the Justinian Cade lived for ever.The motion was more academic than practical.Any Act passed by Parliament would have to Le passed by the Legislitures, and, in a word, this was tantamount to asking them how soon they were ready to commit suicide.li they took away these rights they took away what rendered their existence justifiable.Jarey MeGee and George Brown had both declared for a Federal union.The admission made by Mr.Haggart was important.Speaking as a Liberal.he stood for local self government.He did not want to centralize government, because centralization ed to paternalism.He pointed out that this was not a new -movement, as shortly after Confederation Col.Gray had been asked to make a report, and it favoured uniformity.It was upposed by Cartier, Dorion, Blake and Mills, and it dropped.As a Liberal, not as a member from Quebec, he thought it was impossible for; a8 Liberal to favour action of this sort, for the natural result was to break down the Federal union.The Australian constitution gave greater power to the state than ours.This action would be a menace, »o far as Quebec was concerned.He said here and now that the people of Quebec ought to realize that the privileges they enjoyed came to them by the British North Aiperica Act, and they must bear in mind, he thought they did, that they must look to\u201d Imperial connection for their continuance.So long \u2018as they maintained Tmperia) connection, so long would they be respected.The Act was a covenant between the people of Great Britain and Canada, and Great Britain respected her covenant.se as .e Mr.Carroll, the new SolicitorGeneral opposed the motion on these grounds, and on the ground that there was no demand from the provinces for a change.Mr.Maclean favoured the motion, and Mr.Demers, speaking in French, made a hit by saying Mr.Maclean would be in his element in the French Chamber, where they demanded a new constitution every year.He pointed out that the Imperial Parliament had approved the principle of Confederation by giving larger powers to the States, and in this case there was a homogeneous people and uniformity in the principle of the laws.At six o'clock the motion .went over to the foot of the page of public bills and orders.ae on

evidence that holdegs of claims have been delayed in their work by the negotiations between the Department of Interior and the Treadgold Syndicate.Tn May 20 1901, Messrs.Latchford.McDougall and Duly, solicitors for Doyle and Matson, wrote for each item to the department, stating \u2018the lease under which this concession ir held provides that the lessees are to expend a certain amount of money in hydraulic mining machinery within the time limited by the \"\u201d The lessees, as the records show, have been applying from time to time for the right to take water from the Klondike River, but the department have refused permission on the ground that a great water company was to be given a franchise for that district.Not only have the :lessees been applying for the right to take water for their own use, but they have been willing to put in a general water company to work all the concession in the district.Upon this ground a waver of the provisions of the lease was asked and granted by the department.an »e The annual report of the North-West Mounted Police was issued yesterday.In his report to the Premier.Col.Fred ite, the Commissioner, strongly urges the ne- cesgity of maintaining the strength of the force.He states that the general conditions in the Territories are most satisfactory.The large influx of settlers and rapid increase of population has, however, caused an expansion of duties, which, with the fixed strength of the force, the police have great difficulty in meeting.He points out that the population of the Territories has doubled in the last decade, whilat the police force has been reduced one-half in strength.The population is largely for- cign, accustomed to the conditions of life which prevail in Europe, and under Canada\u2019s \u2018wider conditions\u2019 there is great danger of liberty degenerating into license without the restraining influence of the police.At present there are 450 men on duty in the Territories and 300 in the Yukon.The latter having been increased by 50, Col.White finds himself embarrassed by having to supply larger patrols, but asks that the force be maintained at its present strength with a reserve of 50 men.There were 1,746 cases entered in the courts in the Territories and 1.250 convictions.In the Yukon theje were 1,104 cases, mostly drunks and wage cases.(Offences against morals are ve few.e O'Brien and

- shrewd stroke of policy.OUR SCHOOL-MASTERS ABROAD.The proposal to secure Canadian school teachers for juvenile Boers, looks like a It appears likely to do good all round if the plan be carried out.The young Canadians would see for themselves baw the Boers are being treated by the conquering British in South Africa, and would bring back with them to this .country enough personal experience to ren- * treatment.- der us immune against the most plausible \u201clies which may be told hereafter of that Most of us may be immune al- * ready, op principle, but it is more satigfac- tory to .have personal, positive testimony.Then these Canadian teachers would go to South Africa from a contented, prosper- wus and happy self-governing British colony.It would be-impossible that their unforced and incidental accounte of the manner in \"which the British flag has brought liberty + * feed these truths to the Boers in and self-respect to one community, should not have its effect upon another which is now stupidly fighting against a similar fate.lAfter the malignant industry with which the more ignorant Boers have been stuffed with grotesque falsehoods about the results of Bntish rule, it may be a revelation to gome of them to meet people who can tell them that Canada does not lie under the level of the British army, that not one cent \u201cof Canadian tâxes goes into British cofférs, that military service is absolutely voluntary, that no Canadian.law is made at Westminster, that property is secure, that we are, in fact, à free and independent people enjoying the protection of Britain and paying nothing for it.It may be as well to small \u201c©, doses, ao as not to overload their poison- 5 ! tion from New Zealand, weakened brains.Then some credit must be given the Canadian cducational system.We know its + defects ourselves, and they are not few; : but comparatively speaking, it is a good pystem and turns out effective teachers.The British (Government was not astray in turning to us for pedagngues.TROUBLED TRUTH.London Truth has something to say about : the colonies and Imperial defence, which might he a little irritating if it came from any other source.Truth tells us: \u201cI want to know whether the C'olonies intend to pay their share of our outlay on ships of war.They are hldtant Jingoes, so Jong as it costa them nothing.We are always being told that \u2018the expenditure is necessary owing to our Colonial Empire.-But, if 80, why is the \u2018British taxpayer to pay the entire burden?W hy dhes Mr.Sed- don not send us over a substantial contribu- instead of windbag oratory denouncing al who are not as Jingo as he ia?As it is, be in clamouring - for our purchasing New Zealand shecp at a / higher\u2019 cost than we \u2018might obtain them \u2018at elsewhere.Our Coléitiey $e néver weary of insisting that they are our sisters, and they seem to think that: :Indies should not pay the reckoning.They -seem to me to poor relations who sponge upon us as though - we were a rich uncle in-a- comedy.\u201d 1t must make Truth's editor lose sleep nights thinking about the needs of Imperial defence, and how much more the colonies ought to do.If he could succeed in cooling off the warmth of friendliness which ia growing up between Britain and her colon- fes, by a policy of sneering, which some col- -onials might think represented British sentiment, he would do much to help Britain's énemies.In any other country than the , British Empire the \u201cman of Truth\u201d would Ske Baily Star.| ering to think the colonies do not do more.\u201c|\u201cdpproval\u2019 will \u2018hive been sought, or 6 e\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 M.W.Moore.70 | have been locked up when it was found how he hid been conspiring with his country\u2019s enemies as to how best to defeat British arms.It must cause puch a man keen suff- Whatever understanding the nation arrives at when the Coronation Conference is held we may feel very sure it will not be Truth, or any other of the Empire\" .enemies, whose \u201c A STUPID TAX.That was a curious notion of Mr.Far quiarson that the Prince Edward Island commercial travellers\u2019 tax does mot keep these genia' visitora away from the island.He will be convincing himself next that the consumers of their goods on the Island, do not pay the tax.Mr.| Farquharson should study the Jaws of the incidence of taxation.In a case like this, where the keenest competition prevails, prices have long ago been cut down to thé lowest possible living fig- tre\u2014that is to say, to the lowest figure at any given time.Some economy in manufacture or distribution may at any moment reduce this lowest possible selling price, when competition will speedily force the reduction to the purchaser.To increase the cost of selling goods under such circumstances, is to necessarily increase, cventually, the cost of the goods to the purchaser.This tax increases the cost of selling goods in Prince Edward Island.It is precisely as if the Island were moved farther out to sea, and thus the cost of getting there was augmented.This is equivalent to an addition to the cost of manufac ture or delivery of the gnods.Now business rivalry may lead some firms to try and make it appear that their goods, for some special reason, escape this necessity to increase the price to cover the tax.But every clear-headed Prince Edward Is- Llander knows\u2014that,in- the long run, they cannot escape it; and that, consequently, they must either do business at a loss or make him pay the tax.More than that, they must charge him a pro rata profit on the money they advance to pay this tax, thus making it an expensive way for him to tax himéelf.If prices should not go up, that would prove only that, if it had not been for this tax, competition would have forced prices down.Nome economy has been made in the manufacture which offsets this tax; and the benefit of which close competition would have been given the purchasing Islander\u2014if he had not chosen to tax himself at this point.As for keeping travellers away from the Island,it will da so with any whose margin of profit was so narrow as to make the payment of this tax in advance a doubtful investment.J MARCONI AS A CIVILIZER.The blows that have been struck for human advancement by the men of science are not always appreciated by the after generations, who eat the fruit thereof.Again and again.as we look over the past, we hear the voices of the people raised in helpless wrath against a hoary and impregnable wrong, and we see the martyrs of humanity dash out their lives uselessly against its bulwarks; when some bright morning a epectacled scientist steps out of his lahoratory with a crucible or a magnet in his hand and the ancient wrong crumbles and humanity is lifted in a breath to a higher platform.Thus the steel-clad knights of feudalism pricked along an unarmed peasantry in a murderous and hopeless slavery, until the man in the laboratory gave them gunpowder, and.in an hour, the tyranny of the man in armour was broken.Thus, again, levelling opinion was kept from spreading at a dangerous rate because the written argument could only be turned out by the slow and costly process of copying; but one day movable types were hit upon dnd the liberty-breathing discourse could be maulti- plied by the thousand.Then peoples were cooped up in their national boundaries, and lived their lives out in their parishes, until a free press and an electric telegraph overleaped these boundaries, even when as wide as the ocean, and men were drawn together and taught to understand cach other.Than this latter, there never was a more civilizing process.And now Signor Marconi has come out of his work-shop with a discovery which will bring the bemis- pheres much nearer together than ever they have been before, and flood us with a far fuller knowledge qf the deeds and thoughts of the man sert ges than we have yet had.Like fnany another triumph of the laboratory, it is a strong stroke for ultimate civilization and.brotherhood.It is doubtful, however, if, with the clash of battle and the bustle.of affairs in out ears, we quite appreciate it at its full significance.In New Haven the exccutors of a man who was knocked off the running board of a street railway car and killed have lost their action for damages.The court found that there had been contributory negligence on the part of the man killed.He had just given up his seat to a lady and taken his stand on the running board when the knock-out.came.He had thus voluntarily placed himself in a position of greater danger.The decision of the court is not =o surprising as the evidence of the fact that a man in an \u201cAmerican\u201d street car gave up his seat to a lady.He must have been a stranger.The Cincinnati Post, describing what occurred during the twenty minute visit of Prince Henry to .its interesting city, says: \u201cOne of the Irish flags which was almost within reach of the Prince during his speech was that borne at the Battle of Ridgeway, ('anada by the Fenians, who defeated 25,000 of the nglish Queen's soldiers.George Sweeney, who rescued the flag on the battlefield, proudly bore it Saturday night.\u201d The Post apparently does not mean this as a joke, but as & ; statement of history, too.Dr.Conan Doyle's South African pamphlet points out the facts about that portrait of a girl wasted by disease which Miss Hob- house and her followers have been showing ail over the world.They had used it as a proof of the crüelties of the concentration camp.It was a photograph taken by the British authorities before the child was admitted to the to give an illustration of the neglect-of some Boer women.a J The saloons in New York now close on Sunday, but the rubber sandwich of the hotels is a wicked little Sabbath-breaker, working all day long.The Legislative Assembly did a wise thing yesterday in rejecting Mr.Perrauit's reso.Jution demanding an increased federal sub- sidy, provincial control of railwava and tha oo se.THE MONTREAL abolition of the federa] veto posée.- The - mover was let down easy\u2019 by, the adoption of an minendment expressing confidence in the wisdom and patriotism of \u2018the Government being sufficient to ensure the success.of negotiations now going on with the fed- \u2018eral.authorities fcr better terms.retreatment The Royal German yacht Hobenzollern -{-had to: be-clased : to visitore.Bo mueh- of} her was being carried away in the shape of souvenirs that it was deemed better to lock up what there was left of this yacht and have another larger one made to be cut up and handed out.There would not have been enough of the Hohenzollern to go round.Mr.Bryan's Commoner wants to stop the war in South Africa and suggests that a million postal cards be written to British members of Parliament asking that the war be ended.Mr.Bryan forgets that he doesn\u2019t have to say these things now that he is no longer a Presidential candidate.\u201c Gen.Funston and Secretary Erving Win- slow are enjoying themselves with a discussion of the ethics of warfare, in connection with the capture of Aguinaldo.The Becre- tary thinks the General's conduct was marked by treachery and falsehood.But perhaps Aguinaldo did not mind being captured.Those who had an idea that the Legislature of Quebec were determined to pass the Notre Dame street grab bill without amendment were mistaken.It has passed its second reading with an amendment, which will make Montreal contribute more money \u2018to private pockets.The Manit referendum is to be held on April 204 The Ontario Government lost a chance in not fixing their's for April 1st.It would have been so beautifully appropriate.With smallpox in the Tombs in\u2019 New York, Molineux and Patrick have been promptly vaccinated, that their lives may be preserved for future sacrifice, in case of necessity, - CLAIMED THAT TANK .ELEVATORS OCCUPY TOO MUCH SPACE Representations of Corn Exchange Association to the Chambre \u2019 de Commerce.The usual monthly meeting of the Chambre de Commerce, yesterday afternoon was an interesting one, Mr.D.Masson, the president, was in the chair and there was a large attendance of members.! A letter from Messrs.Madore and Guerin was read asking that the Chambre remain independent in the matter of the Longueuil bridge project and not favour any particular scheme.The question was now before parliament which was the proper authority to deal with it.The letter was referred to the committee on legislation.Iessrs.Gear, Wight and Oliver, a deportation from the Corn Exchange, was in- Mr.Wight said the object of their visit was to discuss the elevator question which would shortly again reccive the attention of the Harbour Commissioners and a final decision arrived at.The Corn Exchange favoured bin elevators as being the proper ones for this port.Tank elevators he pointed out would occupy too much space and:their excessive capacity from 30,000 to 100,000 bushels hinder their utility.He concluded by askin the Chambre to support the Corn Exc ge in this matter.It waa ecided to study the question with the aid of the plans and photographs whick the Corn Exchange promised to submit.A resolution from the Longueuil Council was read protesting aginst the extension of the present charter of the Montreal Bridge Company and asked the Chambre to take action on the matter, pointing, out that the parties had long held the eharter without carrying out its provisions.After a lengthy discussion it was decided to call a special general meeting to go into the whole bridge question.The Committee on islation was asked to consider the request of the Montreal Metal and Hardware Merchants and Manufacturers\u2019 Association, suggesting the necessity of imposing a duty on Government imports of finished and raw materials.po Facts AND FIGUREs.1,000 acres of forest supply fuel for Paris for barely a week.Bouth Africa has ostr ostrich farms containing over 301,000 birds.The population of th the Australian Commonwealth is 3,775,856.The Bog of Allen, the biggest In Ireland, is In places 47 feet à deep.Wedding cake Is replaced In Holland by sweets called \u2018\u2018brindzuikers.\u201d The French- Canadian population of Worcester, Mass., is now placed at 19, Forty years ago tuberculosis was nearly unknown in the Basque district of France, but is now rife there.; | © The world's ships ca 4000000 tons of merchandise a year, of this one- quérter by welght is coal nd one-tenth whe \u201c The making of highways in England and Wales steadfastly increased from 1676, when Charles 1.began the making of roads, to the introduction of railroads in the first quarter of this century, after which it declined.In Paris male domestic servants are encouraged to marry, as they are observed to be more settled and attentive to their duty than when bachelors.In London such \u2018marriages are discouraged, as rendering servants more attentive.to their familles than to those of their masters.A DAILY HINT FROM PARIS.FRANC .BOX, THE PASSING HOUR.| Lord Ribblesdale save 8 a rece nt ae te the Lords'a touch-of humour 10 attérant- ing to quote \u201cFrom Greenland's \u201ctoy un- tains!\" He steered safely through the\u2019 rat line.mangled the second, and falled gether at the third.But he is not thé, 5 Bre.amo whom the oa Ten ve tripp Lu e famous on ell over the.ithe.\u2014Peétand 8\u201d créas\" mibaht he Rh and got no further.| \\ EXTRAVAGANT.\u2018 When to the play I take Rosette Ve have a Ah, ves, I know I'm deep In debt, And sore with creditors beset, But Love has caught me In his net, And gally mocks.So there we sit, and look as bored As other swells; Two gallery seats, and one box stored With caramels!

it has been protested against ever since adopted by Council.When it was imposed it was thought it would net a substantial revenue to the city; this has proven erroncous, however, as so many protests were made against it that only certain portions of machinery are now taxed.The tax is still very unpopular as was proven by the kick made against it yesterday.The Manufacturers\u2019 Association of Montreal sent the deputation .to the committee.It wus contended by the delegation that the principle of such tax was extremely wrong; nothing should be done which would hamper trade in any way.Other cities offered bonuses to manufacturers; Montreal, however.put a special tax on industries.It was true the tax was not a very heavy one: at the same time the taxes in the city were heavy erough and this tax should be abolished.Ii the tax could not be abolished this year it next year.THE ASSESSMENT OF MACHINERY.It was also contended the city assessors did not assess machinery properly.Much machinery had a tax put on it that should not be taxed at all.Ald.Sadler contended that the tax could not be termed a machinery tax.It was a tax on motive power.Other cities imposed such a tax, and there was no reason why Montreal should not do so.Mr.Cooper, secretary of the Manufacturers\u2019 Association, read letters from Mayor (Cochrane and certain aldermen, saying they did pot think the tax should be imposed.Some amusement wus caused when it transpired that these letters were written before the elections.Mr.Cooper hoped the aldermen had not changed their minds because now they were in the Council.The delegation was asked to put its enm- plaint in writing.The whole matter would then receive careful consideration.This suggestion was accepted and the deputation withdrew.: CIVIC HOSPITAL QUESTION.Ald.Ames now appeared before the committee and spoke of the proposed new civic hospital.If the committee would vote a preliminary amount.of $500, plans could \u2018be repared and a delegation could go to the nited States to study hospital conditions there.He begged the committee to act romptly in thir hospital matter: the pub- fe had heard all the discussion it want and would now like to get the hospital.Ald.Giroux, Payette and others thought before any cash was voted it would be wiser to discuss the reconsideration motion in regard to the erection of the hospital on other than denominational lines.The motion to he discussed would ask for a dual hospital.Would it not be wiser to take no action till Council finally settled this matter?Ald.Ekers\u2014\u201cThese contentions are put simply for the sake of gaining time.A notice of motion will have to be given before Council ean open the question again.It will take a month before a notice of motion can be discussed.This means that six weeks will have elapsed before another step can be taken in regard to once more taking up the \u2018question of a single or dual hospital.This delay is not fair.\u201d Ald.Ames said he was willing to do anything in reason to satisfy those who did not want a single hospital: at the same time it would mot delay matters by allowing a delegation to order plans to be made, etc.PLEA DID NOT CARRY.His plea did not carry, and it was decid- \u2018ed to leave the matter over.The outlook now is that there will Le several more weeks of discussion over the hospital question.; Before adjourning the committee appointed Mr.Perrin to succeed the late Mr.Bour- que, as secretary of the Claims Department.As Mr.Perrin was promoted his place was filled by Mr.Landry.The latter appointment was objected to by Ald.Sadler and Ekers, on the ground that the clerk was not being started on the minimum wal- ary.\u2014_\u2014 THE RAILWAY TRAINMEN.\u2014A bill has heen introduced into the New York legislature to abolish the State Railroad Commission.It is charged that the com- rugsion performs no useful service, BRONCHITIS A SERIOUS DISEASE Becomes Chronic and Returns Yegr by Year or Develops Into Bronchial Pneumonia, Croupous dron- chitis, Asthma or Consumption.The real dangers of bronchitis are sometimes overlooked.It is too serious a disease to trifle with, and for that reason everybody should bé familiar with the symptoms.Children are most liable to contract bton- \u2018chitis, and, if neglected, it becomes chronic, \u201cand returns year after year, until it wears the patient ont or develops into some dead- Iv lung disease.i ; The approach of hroncliitia is marked by chills and fever, nasal or throat catarrh, quick pulse, lass of appetite, and feelings of fatigue and languor.; Bronchitis 15 also known hy pain in the upper part of the chest.which is aggravated by deep breathing or roughing, until it scems to burn and tear the delicate linings of the bronchial tubes.\"he cough is dry and harsh, and is accompanied by expectoration of a frothy nature, which gradually increases; is very stringy and tenacious, and is frequently streaked with blood.There is pain, not unlike rheumatism, in Jimbs, joints and body, constipation and, extreme depression and weakness.In some people, the exhaustion amonnta almost to nervous collapse, delirium follows, and in young children convulsions may follow.Dr.Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine is, we believe, the most effective treat: ment for bronchitis that money will buy.This fact has been proven time and time again in many thousands of cases : Tt is the mont effective remedy for bron: chitis, because it in far-reaching in ite ef: fects on the whole system.not merely relieving the cough, but actually and thoroughly curing the disense.It loosens the cough, frees the chest of tightness and pain, aids expectoration, and permanently cures.There are other preparations of turpentine and linseed put up in imitation of Dr.Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine.To be sure you are getting the genuine, see the portrait and signature of Dr.A.W.Chase on the box you buy.23 cents a hot.tle, family size, three \u2018times as\u2019 much.6) déalers, or Edmanson,, Bates $ cents Al ., Toronto.« 4 ! i ! WANTS THE UNJUST EHBARED REMOVED Board -of-Trade.and.the\u2019 Discrimination Against Canadian Cattle.PRESENT TIME IS OPPORTUNE Matter Will be Discussed at Meeting of Representatives of the Em- \u201c pire in London.As the embargo against Canadian cattle in England is still in force, the Council of the Montreal Board of Trade again took up the matter yesterday afternoon.This suutting out of Canadian cattle on the alleged grounds of pleurv-pneumonia has now become an old, old story, and while Canada has done everything possible to con- vinte the British uuthorities that the disease did pot exist in Canadian herds, no change bas been made in the laws governing tbe same.Among Canadian cattlemen the clause which tends to limit the importation of Canadian cattle into Englund e healt looked upon us Leing in reality a protecti measure, under the guise of a clause.The council decided that in view of the circumstances that a conference of representatives of the Empire is fo take place in London some tune in June, the time is opportune tu make a supreme effort to have the embargo removed.To that end the council ordered that representations be at once made to the Dominion Government, clearly setting forth the injustice which the Canadian farmer and producer 1s now suf- tering under by reason of such embargo.It was also decided that the leading Canadian Boards of Trade should be communicated with, with a view to deputations from them waiting upon the provincial Premiers, so that their co-operation with the Dominion Government will be secured.ADOPTION OF WESTERN EDUCATION CHINA'S ONLY HOPE Mr.Montagu Beauchamp Discusses Present Conditions in Celestial Empire.Mr.Montagu Beauchamp, of the China Inland Mission, 1s in the city on his way back to his mission field at Sz-Chuen which is in the most western part of the Empire having been recalled in the summer of 1900 owing to the growing Boxer agitation.In Mr.Beauchamps opinion China is certainly awakening, and the most hopeful sign is the invitation to the missionaries to return, which is extended by the literati from all parts of the Empire.The whole attitude of the litterati has changed vowards foreigners, especially since the Japanese war.The Chinaman has an intense horror of all things foreign, though those who come in contact with the missionaries themselves have no objection to them.There is some ground for their hatred, as the empire has suffered much at western hands, particularly in the matter of opium and land-grab- bing.But the upper classes have learned the value of European civilization and have un to show themselves friendly to the missionaries.\u201cChina's only Hope,\u201d written by Chang Chik Tung, viceroy of Ho-pat and Ho-nan, was a remarkable instance of this.He was a great scholar and had the courage to oppose the famous \u2018bloody edict\u201d of the Dowager Empress in the summer of 1900.Ile was secure enough at Hankow, as long ns he cculd pay his troops; on one occasion at any rate he was subsidized by the British Government to prevent a mutiny, and he knew if the worst came to the worst a British gunboat was always ready for him.He has now written a remarkable book, in which he declares the only hope for the empire is the foundation of an army on European lines and the adoption of western education.Opium, too, must be given up, as its ravages carry with them unspeakable miseries to all their victims.! When the desire for western civilization is arquired the dislike for foreigners may be overcome.When this will come no one can say.Rutland Railway Assessment.The Rutland Railroad company has been for some time engaged at Malone, N.Y., in contesting what it regards as excessive and exorbitant assessments in several of the towns on the line of the road.The decisions so far have all been in favour of the railroad company.In the towns of Lisbon and Madrid the assessments were reduced 20 per cent hy the Supreme Court, and in the town of Norfolk the court reduced the assessment 40 per cent.The cases were tried by Mr.Thomas Cantwell, the attorney for the Rutland railroad at Malone, and much time was taken in putting in evidence.Eminent engineers were sworn and a great number of experts gave testimony.Mr.Cantwell established the principle that an expensive piece of rock cut or heavy fill should not be assessed at any higher rate than an ordinary piece of railrcad on level ground.Mr.Cantwell is the grandson of the late Thomas Cantwell, who war Postmaster at Norton Creek, P.Q.for many years, and who at one time kept a store in St.Paul street, Montreal.Needs of Fire Department, The Fire Committee yesterday took a trip around the various fire stations to see what was needed.As usual, it was found repairs were wanted at many of the stations.Chief Benoit had already reported at length on the needs of the department;

Mr.Perreault's remar TRANSPORTATION MEN OBJECT TO BRIDGE OVER LACHINE CANAL | Deputation Will Proceed to Ottawa and Lay Case Before Hon.Mr.Blair.Some three weeks ago representatives of various municipalities bordering oh Montreal, including St.Henri, St.Cunegonde and Montreal West, waited upon the Hon.Mr.Blair, Minister of Railways and Canals, with the request that a bridge be constructed over the Lachine Canal at Atwater avenue.This project does not: meet the views of those engaged in the transportation business, the upshot of it being that a strong deputation of transportation men.will visit Ottawa some day next week and place before the Hon.Mr.Blair their objections.Those who have occasion to utilize the La chine canal state that a bridge at Atwater avenue would tend to greatly retard traffic.A bridge at the point mentioned would be in such a position as to obstruct navigation most effectually.The transportation men state that one of the objections is that the roposed structure would be too near the &rand Trunk bridge to allow of their bein independently an still not sufficiently close together to have the two open and close at the same time.The Montreal-Longueuil Bridge.The Editor of the Star,- \u2019 Dear Sir, My attention has been drawn to \u201cthe report of the discussion in the Legislature growing out \u2018of Mr.Leblanc's motion for copies of documents, etc, respecting ecial- which are stated in the press of the 12th inst.to have been as follows: \u201d \u201cMr.Perreault.remarked that the Montreal Bridge Company since the last twelve years had beén depreciating the South Shore, and was on the eve of extinguishing itself.The Government could not be expected to do business with such a company, .and he quite approved of them.\u201d I do not know what ma the source of Mr.Perreault\u2019s supposed.information on this subject, but there will be no difficulty in arriving at the conclusion that his duty to his constituents required that he should | be certain that his in ation was correct before he took a ition such es he is reported to have taken with respect to this question.Otherwise, he may find himself in the unenviable position .of opposing what is in the interest of his constituents, and of finding himeelf in opposition to their wishes.; - Respecting the statements which he is said to have made, that the Bridge Com- ny has been depreciating the South hore, etc, I beg to say that he is altogether mistaken, and in_this respect his opinion is directly opposed to that of a very large number of his donstituents, who have exp - their desire that the Montreal Bridge Company should receive all the ae- gistanice possible to enable it to build the ge.If Mr.Perreault wishes to obtain correct information as to what the Montreal Bridge mpany has done, and the efforts it has made to construct the bridge, he can very easily do eo, and the service he can render, th to himself and to his constituents, is to obtain such information hefore he further in opposing the Montreal Bri Company in the work which it is and has been ever since the charter was obtained endeavouring to do, and has how entered into a contract with thoroughly re.th sponsible ne to ca t, assistance\u2019 wh ch is as or is accorded them.Yours, ete., , °° J.8.AGE! .Montreal, 13th March, 1002.A N N DEATHS.i FFREY\u2014In this citg Mecarrrey.the eldest ng MoCA Thos.a .of city.Fi his father's residence, IW 18 4 bave - street, Gaturday, 15th - sharp, and will prot Church: from thenc WILSON~At St.March = Fearn STAR-THURSBAY.rad \u2018MARCH 18, 1902.> OBJECTIONABLE CLAUSE IS OUT \u201c Taken From the Ste.Cunegonde Bill.THE BARBERS\u2019 BILL KILLED School Commissioners Has Been \u2018Withdrawn.(Special to the Star.) QUEBEC, March 13.\u2014 Premier arent asserted his authority in the Private Bills Committee wo cffectually as to throw out the objectionable clause of the Ste.Cune- -gonde bill, providing for a repeal of the iranchise granted the Lachine Hydraulic Company.Mayor Cochrane and Mr.F.H.Markey, advocate, waited on the Premier aml pointed out that the objectionable clause was one to abolish vested rights giuted by Act of the legislature and acquired at a cost of thousands of dollars frog the original grantees by the present holders.\u201cSuch a piece of legislation was never placed on any statute book in any country,\u201d said Mayor Cochrane, and Mayor Parent agreed with him and said it should be stopped at once.he Premier walked into the Private Bills Committee room, where the Barbers\u2019 bill was under consideration.The report of the sub-committee on the Ste.Cunegonde bill with the obnoxious clause in it had not come up for consideration.Mr.Parent enquired what had been done in the Ste.Cu- negonde matter and told the committee that the clause must come out.He had previously called Mr.Dupuis, attorney, of Ste.Cunegonde; -aside and told ~irim \u201cthe ®ame thing.So the scction \u2018was struck without protest, and the report of the sub-commit- tee as amended was adopted.THE ST.HENRI BILL.The St.Henri bill, for which everybody was anxiously awaiting all the morning.only reached the Private Bills Committee when it was ready to adjourn, and the further consideration of the sub-committees report was deferred till to-morrow.The committee was occupied most of the morning with the barber's bill, which was finally killed on account of the objections raised to the professional status and rights of fining for cutting rates and of enforcing apprenticeship rules, provided by the meas- e.The Joliette bill was taken up by one sub-committee of the Private Bills Commit tee this morning, and the Westmount bill by another.\u2018 The committee is composed of Messrs.Perrault, chairman; Hutchison, Decarns and Cochrane.Mayor Lighthall, of.Westmount, was resent; also John Dunlop, K.C., solicitor\u2019 .McPherson; A.G.Cross, chairman of Police, and J.P.Walker.BELL TELEPHONE BILL.Mr.C.E.Brodie, advocate, appeared for the Bell Telephone.The bill is very lengthy, and only small progress was made.The city, represented by Mr.Ethier, will oppose the clauses giving the town rights in neighbouring municipalities in matters of drainage.When the St.Henri bill comes up again to-morrow the objectionable financial clause passed by the sub-committee will be opposed and probably struck out.There is a lar diamond cut diamond going on over this, and the St.Cunegonue bill, and lobbying is being practiced as a fine art.The changes are so sudden and perplexing that even the interested parties scarcely know how they stand from one quarter of an hour to another.The Legislation Committee passed a num: \u2018ber of, little bills and rejected that of Mr.Dupuis to prevent lady stenographers acting, as stich in the Superior Courts of Montreal.Before the same committee Mr.Lacombe, as foreshadowed in yesterday's Star, withdrew his bill respecting the Catholic School Commissioners of Montreal.CO-OPERATION IS THE HOPE OF IRELAND Father O'Donovan Tells of the Increasing Prosperity of the Irish Farmer in Recent Years.(Special to the Star.) NEW YORK, March 13.\u2014 The opposite of the general view taken by those who talk on the future of Ireland is held by Father O'Donovan, one of the members of the commission appointed a few years ago to look into the industrial conditions of the .island.\u201cI don\u2019t wish to preach \u2018any revolution,\u201d he said to-day; \u201cnor is the Situation in Ireland other than most hopefyl.The trouble with the country in the past is that the Irish farmers themselves did rot keep up with the times, and so could not compete with progressive nations such as the anish and Dutch in the common market of England.This is fast being changed now, and, with the co-operation the Irish people, quietly and industriously pulling to- géther, the future should be bright.Éigha, years ago the co-operative movement was started Ireland, with twenty-seven members in the society.One modern creamery and one co-operative bank, where farmers could borrow capital at a reasonable rate of interest\u2014not\u2019 the 10 to 30 per cent.of former times.Now this society numbers sixty thousand members, and there are nearly two hundred banks and numerous creameries.As an illustration of the progress made, take the case of eggs.Eight years ago.Irish eggs were used in England only on election days.Now they are rerv- ed daily on hundreds and thousands of English breakfast tables, and Irish butter :s actually considered the superior of Danish.The hope of Ireland is in the co-operative movement.\u201d Toronto Division Court\u2019s Tragedy.7 TT (Speeal to the Star.)

Mayor Lighthall.being requested to act os chairman, asked the members of the Council to take places on the platform.He then opened the meeting by explaining the reasons why the Council had thought that the time had come when Westmount should sccure the rights of a city.and explained the principal clauses that had been inserted in be new charter.Westmount.he raid, had been advancing in a way that no other town in the Province of Quebee had done, and had progressefl in a manner that demanded the step.lle considered that the \u2014\u2026fopulation had inereased in a very remarkable maïiirer, and it would nat be long before Westinount.would be larger than all cities in the province.with the exception of Montreal, Quebec and St.Henri.The chief changes in the charter.which had been drawn up on the same lines as that of Montreal, provided that the Mayor should be elected annually by the ratepayers, that the Council should be composed of twelve, inatead nf eight members, and that the four new members should proprietors, and elected of proprietors only: that a Recorder's Court should be estah- lished, and that the town should have the right, if found advisable, to purchase and Control its own water supply plant.ORJECTED TO CERTAIN CLAUSES.| Councillor Stevens was then requested by the Mayor.as the representative of a certain number who objected to some of the clauses of the charter.to express his opin- fon.He stated that at first he thought that the Council had not time to prepare a charter.but lately, when he saw the careful manner in which the whole matter had been discussed, he had changed his mind, i.a and now thought that, with a few changes, ST T= ares the charter ought to be placed before the uele¢ House.These were small ones, an id not deal with any of the important clauses of the charter.For instance, did not approve of the extension of t franchise nted to the Montreal Street Railway Company.did uot, think that it would in the interests of the town to increase the number of councillors, nor that a councillor, in order to be: qualify to seek election should havé property in his own |-name and not be uA.00 propery.| held in his wife's name.MEETING WAS A DETERMINED ONE.It was at this point that it was found that the meeting, though a very small one, was a determined one, and meant, if possible, to carry its point.The trouble started when Mr.Jas.Cran- shaw asked the Mayor if the Council had had a mandate from the electors to have the town changed into a city.If it had not there should be an election to ask the rate- pavers whether they wanted such a change to te made or not.He thought that the ratepayers \u2018should be given an opportunity to review the matter.The Mayor replied that the matter had been discussed at pub- lice meetings of the Council and that everyone knew that a new charter was being dis cussed.Mr.D.MeCormack, K.C., considered that the calling of such a meeting was à farce.The ratepayers had not- had an opportunity of studying the clauses and therefore were not in a position to express their opinion.Now, if the Councillors went before the Legislature and were asked if they represented the opinion of the elec- tars, they could not truly answer that they 1 Mr.Johnson strongly objected to any action being taken, terming the proposed new charter as being unjust and uncalled for.He then moved that the proposed charter be not proceeded with as it was beyond the power of the Council of Westmount ns at present constituted to deal with it.Tt was seconded by Mr.Jas.Cranshaw.On the suggestion of Mr.ND.McCormack it was i decided to withdraw the latter part of the motion referring to the legal aspect of the case.A general discussion followed.There were cries of \u201cvote,\u201d \u201cvote,\u201d and Mayor Light- ball drew the attention of the meeting to the fact that a good deal of money had _been expended an maintained that it was in no way the fault of the Council that there had been any delay in eubmitting the charter to the approval of the ratepayers.Councillor Walker thought that the charter should be presented at present.He was a member of the Council when application was made to have the village of (ote St.Antoine changed into the Town of West- mount, and the ratepayers had not been asked whether they approved of the charter or not.le then explained the details of most importance.Councillor Rodger, as one of the new councillors, thought that the new charter had been prep very carefully and ought to be submitted at once.Before calling for a vote Mayor Light- hall said that such a motion as had been proposed was a reflection on the new councillors.At this point Councillor Cross, who had devoted a great deal of time in preparing the charter.left the hall.A standing vote was then taken and the motion carried as already announced.Mr.Cranshaw then proposed that a committee of ratepayers be appointed to watch the progress of the charter at Quebec, if it was put forward by the Council.The motion was not put, the Mayor ruling that the meeting had closed.Course for General Instruction.The weventh regular Post Graduate Courre of

cur local institutions, and That the Government of Canada and thoes of the other provinces should be invited to join the vernment of the Province ol Quehec in asking the Parliament of the United Kingdom to make such changes in the Confederation Act as may alter the basis on federal subsidy is calculated, secure to the provinces an exclusive control over their public properties and over the railways within their limits, allow of their imposing export duties on the products of their forests and\u2019 mines and confer upon the (Government of Great Uritain the right of disallowing provin- cal laws now exercised by that of Canada.In supporting his resolution he said that he had omitted from it some of the amendments taken up in the Interprovincial Conference either because they were incompa- ble with existing circumstances or because he wished first of all to receive the suggestions of his colleagues in the House, pos- seed of legal traming.\u2018The first amelioration which he suggested was that of a new readjustment of the federal subsidy.lie did not employ the word \u201cdefinite\u201d which Hon.Mr.Mercier had used in this connection, for he was of the opinion, in common with several members of the House, that a new revision or readjustment should be made very quarter of a century.He recalled the fact that in 1382, 83, and 4, the \u2018Treasury of both Ontario and Quebec had declared in their Budgets that in order to carry out the intentions of the framers of Confederation it was necessary that the anDual subsidy of 80 cents per head, instead of being limited by the cen: sus of 1861, should be calculated anew every ten years.; The increase in population of the province from 1,111,566 in 1861 to 1,648,898 should mean an increase of $120.845 a year to the province.The Federal Government is enriched by the increase of population through the excise and duties, while the province has increased expenditures which it cannot control.He argued that by the Confederation Act the interests of Quebec and Ontario were sacrificed to those of the other provinces.Some of them received more than double what was accorded to Quebec.Discussing the proposal to give to the local authorities the exclusive control of provincial railways and public works, he took occasion to recall the history of that por: tion of the C.PP.R.between Quebec and Ottawa.On May 1, 1902, $3,500,000 would be payable without notice by the ¢'.P.Ron the purchase price of $7,600,000, of which so far only $600,000 had been paid.What would the Government do?If it forced the repayment it would be blamed for givin up a 5 per cent.investment.And if it di not collect it would be accused of failing to collect the amounts due to the province.In support of his motion concerning concessions to the provinces to have the right to impose export duties, he showed that New Brunswick was given this right by Section 124 of the British North America Act, a right which that province sold out subsequently for an additional subsidy of $150, 000) a year.Before resuming his seat, he argued strongly in favour of the suppression of the Federal Government's power of disavowal of provincial laws.ar > >e THE PREMIER'S ATTITUDE.Hon.Mr.Parent, after congratulatin Mr.Perreault upon the ability displa, by him in dealing with the matters before the House, announced that the first of the resolutions which that gentleman had pro- sed met with the entire approval of the Government, though the two others did not.For two years past, the subject of an increased federal subsidy to the Province had engaged his attention, and had been working for a change for two years.He thought that Mr.Perreault\u2019s resolutions required to be modified.He had good hopes of succeeding in his efforts to bring about a change.Ed = *e Mr.Allard then moved in amendment That taking into account the declaration of the Prime Minister, to Lau effect that steps had been taken with the federal authorities in order to improve the financial arrangements between the Government of Canada and the Government of this Province, this House has confidence in the patriotism and wisdom of the Government in bringing these negotiations to a ratisfactory termination.In sub-amendment, Mr.Champagne moved, \u201cThat further, this Mouse hopes that the Government of Canada will take into consideration the modifications suggested by I the Government of this Province and: that it will grant the latter a favourable solution of the question in the near future.\u201d Mr.Leblanc followed in ridicule of the rasnner in which typewritten amendments \u201ccropped iis as soon as the Premier resumed his rest: The debate wns Texumed hy Mesers- De- chene, who supported the Premier's stand, by Mr.Prevost, Mr.Flynn.Mr.Lane, Mr.Pelletier, Mr.Weir, Mr.Hutchinson, Mr.Roy and Mr.Perreault.ae Hon.Mr.Duffy complimented Mr.Per- reault upon the v able manner in which he had dealt with the subject matter of his resolutions.While some of the topics upon which he touched were more or less al stract, others were of practical utility.When he looked across the House and saw \u2018the applause which there ted the remarks of the member for Chambly he had certainly expected to see the matter treat- in a serious manner by the members of ition.But what had occurred?The Prime Minister rose and assured the House that the subject dealt with by Mr.Perreault was receiving his most serious consideration., Nothing could be more reasonable, he said, than that the Premier should be Tort free to continue his negotiations with the Federal Government, in consort, if possible, with the sister provinces and that he should be given that general power of attorney, as it were, to act in the premises, which was suggested by the amendment.If this authority is to be withheld from the Ministers, what are they here for?But we are asked by the Opposition to allow ourselves to be tied down, and to say precisely what we intend to ask for and to do.The amendments proposed were not treated with the seriousness that they merited.There was a lot of levity about the ty of them, etc., and he asked if this vote LEO [200 ati Ohta '.lack of seriousness the whic so important à question Nae Amongst several bills \u201cwhich passed their | on which thé 1 treated, or was calculated to impress the Federal authorities with the ides that the House and the province were unanimous n the subject.He what possible ob- Jection there could be to permitting the Government a free ha in the matter, when they woulfl be amenable to the House for any abuse or neglett of the powers which they might exercise in the connection.ee «8 ve Hon.Mr.Flynn pointed out that the He supported the plea far better terms, but had eral right of disallowance. rails nth.By Seod , FOR SALE \u2014 AT A GREAT BARGAIN that fine brick cottage known us 18 Am- herst Park.containing eight rooms, bath and water closet, stabling

Engineer Economic Gas Cunstruction Co.; J.H.Farr, and W.T.Stuart, M.D., Professor Geology and Mineralogy all of Toronto.Recent information from Ashnola has confirmed the great value of the company\u2019s properties and entirely eliminated the speculative element.Besides large depots of the best lignite coal, which for steam and domestic purpeses brings upwards of $1.00 per ton more than ordinary b.uminous, there has been a iarge seam of excellent coking coal struck, for the output of wh! :h there is an enormously increasing demand from the smelting districts of B.C.There is, likewise, the absolute certainty of the projected railroade\u2014the Coast-Kootensy sad the Spence\u2019s Bridge and Midway\u2014being completed within à very short space of time.PROPERTIES The Company possesses eight square miles of coal areas, situated in the fertile Similkameen Valley, one of the richest dis tricts in mineral deposits\u2019 in B.C.The property immediately adjoins the lands of the Similkameen Valley Coal Company, a most promising undertaking, the entire coal basin being practically controlled by these two interests.The latter Company, under precisely similar conditions, offered their Capital Stock s few months ago at 25 cents, the prios having since risen to $1.00.The whole of the required Capital has already been subscribed locally, and the issue has since been withdrawn from the market.These two Companies work in harmony, and there is every probability of their becoming amelgs- mated into one concern in the near future, thus lessening the cost of pr ti event of any possible competition.and NARKET ing the Pen d enterprise in the There is a sufficient market within à radius of :50 miles to absorb the entire output of half a dozen such properties, and! the proximity of the mines to the great consuming centres, reducing freight charges, will enable the Company to undersell any com panies east or west of it, in British Columbia.There is no danger of effective competition from districts nearer to the more important markets, as the seams already discovered there are too thin to work with profit.7 » \"COAL DEPOSITS 1 # The Ashnola Company\u2019s coal deposits are in measures of 20 feet and more in thickness, easily and economically worked, because of the absence of any disturbed conditions, and the quality of the coal has been proved by analysis to be superior in every essential feature to the best Ameriean products.Analysis by Mr.Wm.Blackmore, C.E., of Montreal, of samples of coal taken from the Company\u2019s property show: Volatile matter, 41.0; fixed carbon, 45.0; ash, 2.02, being highest in combustible mat- -tar and lowest in ash.AS AN INVESTMENT which will certainly and rapidly increase in value, it is one of

undertaking to endeavour in good faith to unite in overcoming the obstacles which appear to be in the way of its accomplishment.If one party declares that there must be a single hospital, or none at all, and if the other party declares that there must be a double hospital or none at all, and both, sides are equally uncompromising, then there will be no hospital and our children will fall a prey to tha first breath of contagion that will sweep over the citv.If those who declare that rather than have the hospital on Fletcher's Field they will throw in the way every obstacle, legal and otherwise affirming they would rather see \u201cno bospita) at all than permit any portion of the park property to be used, would they be good enough to draw the attention pf the council to some other equally suitable and available site.If they do not do this, would it be asking too much that, inthe common interest, they withdraw their opposition.; I have the honour to be, sir, \u2018ours very

and-the other to the first girl entitled to compete.When separate classes of boys and girls graduate from the same school at the same time, two scholarships will be offered for competition in each.Scholarships not won in this way are held in_reserve and' may awarded or not at the discretion of the Board to other deserving candidates.4 \u201cThe Commissioners will consider special cases only at their meeting in September, at which the secretary superintendent is instructed to report in full respecting the s; cial claims of auch condidaten, # pe The Board appointed Miss Norris, of
