about ten knots, At 2:20 p.m.the Royal George passed Cape Salmon, 81 nautical miles from Quebec, and the Montmagny at 2:40 p.m.They had thus increased their speed to something over 12 knots.At the

of the Government of the result of the Premier's consultation with the British Admiralty, referring also to the frequent as- sections of Mr.Asquith, Mr.Churchill anll Sir Edward Grey that England had no enemies, notwithstanding which there was a widespread appreciation of eome threatening danger, with statements that England was on her knees begging for support.\u201cThese apprehensions,\u201d he said, \u201chave heen removed by the document which has been placed on the table of the House.England is always England.She asks no favor from anybody.She does not come as a supa pliant, still less as a mendicant, but to the enquiries of our ministers she answers.\u201cHere are the facts you have them all in this paper, judge fur yourselves and act as you please.\u201d No Belief In Emergency, England is in no danger, whether imminent or prospective, but the document discloses the condition of things on which has been based the official torrespondence, that there is going on in Europe, and has for some yesrs past, a condition of things which has compeiled England to alter her strategic lie which hitherto has been essentially one of security.In face of that position, I now ask the question: \u201cWhat is the duty of the House of Commons and of the people of Canada?\" This is the question as | understand it, but, before I proceed to give my answer, I think it advisable that I should come nearer home and review the situation as it has been made by the contention of the two parties during the last contests.The Leader of the Opposition then made some assertions as to statements alleged to have been made upon thousands of platforms hy Conservative members tn the effect\u201d that Canada owed nothing to England.(Cries of \u201cNo, no,\u201d from Government benches.) \u201cI am glad there are some gentlemen who say \u2018No, no\u2019 to that statement.\u201d he retorted, \u201cbut I cannot accept the negation.Tt has heen tou evident, but they evidently resent the conduct of some of the men whe are now beside them.Admite Belittling England.The assertion about Canada owing nothing to England had heen made because it wa said England had sacrificed Canadian

referred to the change in naval powers of the world, noting the passing of the Spanish power and the establishment of the entente cordiale with the result that nothing was to he feared from France.There were other maritime powers to which we were exposed, not that he apprehended any attack, but he believed every one was agreed that Britain could not afford to rest upon her own security.As to the suggestion which, he said, had also heen made in Quebec that Canada could rely upon the Monroe doctrine he held up the position of Cuba as a warning against security based on that doctrine, saying that the United States had made the Cubans pay heavily for assistance by under- wining their independence.Not Local Defence Only.1 This example showed \u201cthat we have te fake our share in the defence not enly of our native shores, hut in thy \u201cdefence of the Empire as a whole, and that we can dou only by the a:sistance inf the mother country.\u201d Answering his question a< to what was the rem.Leds.Kir Wilfrid said : \u201cIn our humble mdgment the remedy is this : That wherever in the distant sea.the distant country, Australia, Canada or elsewhere, à British ship has heen removed to allow concentration in Europe, that ship should be replaced by a ship built, maintained, equipped and manned in that place.\u201d (Loud Oppusition cheers.) Ta take charge of the equipment and manning of ships for the distant seas +0 that the British Admiralty could concentrate in home waters\u2014that was the Australian and should be also the FCatadian policy.There was no emer- i gency, reiterated the leader of the i Oppasition.If we are in danger simply because Eugland is upon trial against one of two other powers of Europe, he maintained the memorandum contained nothing new or not known before.{ Is Contribution Enough ?Every word there, every figure in that had been discussed in March, 1909, and unanimously the conclusion was come to that the best method of helping England and of discharging duty was not by contribution, but by the creation of a Canadian navy.That the idea of the Canadian navy had received the support of Ministers opposite wae the argument which the leader of the Opposition went on to evolve, quoting from speeches made by Messrs.Borden, Foster and White.\u201cls the eontribution a« hig as it ought to de?\u201d queried Sir Wilfrid.\u201cYou give two of thre dreadnnughts to England to be paid for by Canada and to be equipped.maintained and manned by England.You say that these ships shall bear Canadian names.That will be the only Canadian thing about them.You will hire someone to do your work.In other words you are ready to do anything except the fighting.Is that the true policy ?(Voices, No.No.) Tt is a hybrid policy.It ia 6 cross hetweet jingoism and nationalism.Unless T mis, take the spirit of the Canadian people.if they are true to their own blood, no matter to what province they belong they will not be satisfied with this hybrid policy, but will insist that their LAURIER CLINGS TO IDEA OF A CANADIAN NAVY CHRONICLE.contribution shall be one of money and of nieuw as well.\u201d England Dossn't Want Money.It is not money that England wants at this moment.England never was more wealthy than at the present time.Her coffers are overflowing.What she wants is the hearts, the brains and the brawn of her subjects all over the world.[It has been stated, and 1 hope it is true, that this contribution of thirty-live millions will create a deep impression among the great Furopean powers, but would not the impression de much greater if, instead of this money contribution, the nations of Hgrope were to see the young daughters of the Empire seat- tered over the whole world, building fleets of their own, to use the language of the resolution of 1909.Denies Separatiom.Sie Wilfrid went on to say that whety the Premier went over to England he went there simply to obtain information on the position, and he hat established the fact that there was no emergency.Sir Wilfrid disowned the charges of separatiom claiming that his seventy years had taught him something by observation and experience, \u201cLet me say for myself and friends that any thought separation from Great Britain would be a folly and a crime.\u201d Neutrality Impossiblesertions attributed Po him about Capossible for England to be at war and Canada to be at peace, and the thought of being neutral would be like Canute\u2019s attempts to hold back the waves.\u201cWhen England is at war we are at war, but it does not follow because we are at war we are actually m the conflict.\u201d (Loud laughter from Government \u2018benches.) Sir Wilfrid then reveiwed all the leading wars since Canada had become a colony of England, showing that in some she participated and in others held aloof.When he mentioned the Roer war of 1899, Col.Sam Hughes shouted out \u201cWe were in it\u201d To which he retorted: \u201cWe were in it on account of the action taken by the Canadian Government and Parliament.\u201d (Further government laughter.) Permanent Policy.Sir Wilfrid pointed out that another problem that confronted the Government was the inauguration of a permanent policy and he suggested that one monetary contribution would be entirely unsatisfactory unless followed up by regular contributions.The reason for deferring a permanent policy, according t6 the prime minister, was that the opinion, of the people must be sought, This was a very large pro- pordl, but the danger might be upon us before there was.an opportunity for settling anythimg.He did not want to condemn fhe views of.the premier nor to approve them, but he thought Canada should not stand still in preparations for defence until this permanent palicy was decided upon, Laurier\u2019s Amendment.Sir Wilfrid then moved the following amendment: \u201cThat all the words after the word \u2018That\u2019 be struck out and the following be substituted therefor.\u201cThis house declines to coneur in the said resolution and orders that the same be referred back to the committee with instructions to amend the same in the following particulars, namely, to strike out all the words after Clause A and substitute therefor the following: \u201cThe memorandum prepared by the board of admiralty onthe general naval situation of the empire and communicated to this house by the Right Hon.the Prime Minister on December 3, shawe that several of the most important of the foreign powers have adopted a detinite policy of rapidly increasing their naval strength.That shia condition has compelled the United Kingdom to concentrate its naval forces in home waters, ine volving the withdrawal of ships from the outlying portions of the Empire.\u201cThat such withdrawals render it necessary that Canada without further delay should enter actively upon a permanent policy of naval detenec.Wants Canada-Manned Ships.\u201cThat any measure of Canadian aid to imperial naval defence which does not embody a permanent policy of participation by ships owned, manned and maintained by Canada and contemplating construction as soon as possible in Canada, is not an adequate or satisfactory expression of the aspirations vf the Canadian people in regard to naval defence.and is not an assumption by Canada of her fair share in the maintenance of the naval strength of the Empire.; \u201chis house regrets to learn the intention of the government to indeti- nitely postpone the carrying out by Canada of a permanent naval policy.It is the opinion of this house that measures should be taken at the present session to give effect actively and «peedily tn the permament naval policy embodied in the naval service act of 1910 passed pursuant to the resolution unanimously approved by this house in March, 1909.; \u2018This honse ir (uriher of the opinion that tn increase the power and mobility où the imperial navy by the addition by Canada under the above act of two fleet units 10 he stationed wn the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada, respectively.rather than hy a contribution of money or ships, is a policy best calculated to afford relief tn the United Kingdom in respect of the burden of imperial naval defence.can aren HAZEN ANSWERS LAURIER Says Borden's Actin fs Consistent With Promises.Hon.Mr.Hazen was received with Ministerial cheers when he rose to reply to Sir Wilirid, His speech, excellently prepared, dealt porticuterty with the crisis which had arisen in of He also stated that in regard to as.nadian neutrality that it would be im- valuable land.Every make-chifts.A BROAD sup by the experience of investigation.policy of great commo and years.to equal as road.for lees money than our fathers them, You into convenient form.his profits by giving him m ers to get to his store\u2019 But just what do we mean by \u201cgood roads?\u201d .They are going about the work of providing proper highways as they have gone about everything clse\u2014carsfully, systematically, intelligent!

throughout, that he had followed out his promise of consulting the Admiralty and that to-day he had presented to this country that form of aid which best of all would meet the grave situation that bad developed.Laurier Navy Obsolete.The Minister of Marine gave it as his conclusion that the late Government had been led to its conclusions hurriedly and unwisely.To have entered into the construction of a navy along the lines they had laid down would have heen to entail à waste of fifteen million dollars.Ile recalled the fact that although the Laurier Government had received tenders for their navy on May 1, 1911, they had awarded nq contracts when they went out of power in October in the same year, Ile wandered if Sir Wilfrid had anticipated the result of the election, since he could give no better excuse for delay than that it was not wise to let the contracts during an election campaign.; Mr.Hazen read à statement of Admiral Kingsmill deelaring that owing to the changes in design the Laurier navy, when built in 1917, would have been out of date.He read further from a memorandum oi Commandant Roper, submitted the day before the general election of 1911, which read: \u201cAs is well known the naval service means a large number où items dovetailed to make up the whole.Ii they are not simultaneously prepared they collapse.That is the state of affairs at present in the naval service of Canada.\u201d Further.Commandant Roper stated that the programme drawn up and embarked upon had resulted in ita reaching a stage where there was stagnation.Agein, he sid: \u201cThe earliest period at which the firet cruiser could be expected would he in the latter half of 1914.That type nf vessel would be four years oid when completed and the others.when completed in 1017, would he seven years old in type and rapid, ly approaching a state of obsolence.\u201d A Party Amendment.| The principal question, continued i Mr.Hazen, must be the justification of the Borden policy.The Laurier amendment was plainly prepared from the standpoint of party strategy and shows that the Liberal leader was more concerned about the future of the party than about the future of the Empire.The Laurier.who opposed a fleet unit in 1910, war now prepar- led to 86 the length of teva.1t was strange that he did not get that des when be was in power.As to the sentiment that Canada need not necessarily be in the con- Euraoa and which justified the mom-| flce thous in & state of war, he ridi- euled it and quoted Premier Botha as saying that it was incomprehensible how anyone could reason that if the Empire was at war no one part of the Empire need be at war at the seme time.Permanena Policy Apart.The Minister drew attention to the fact that all through Kir Wilfrid's speech ran the idea that the contribution was a substitute for a permanent policy, Nothing was farther from the Government's plans and even if the Laurier scheme had been accepted they might have been compelled to ask for the contribution in view of the facts disclosed.As to the permanent policy.it could not be expected that it would be worked out in a few weeks or months but when it \u2018was ready the Government woould go to the country upon it.Millenium Not Yet.In 8 splendid peroration the Minister of Marine said : \u201cI do not wish to {lay exclusive stress upon peace.The world has not yet reched the millennium.Lawless passions still are abroad and the clash of war may come.If come it does, ! know the blood from which our two great races spring, I know that they will not shrink from the test.Nay, more, if 1 read my countrymen aright, if the hour of battle comes, 1 know where they will wish Canada\u2019s representatives to be.Not as weak coastal vessels, hugging a far off shore, anxiously awaiting the issue of the conflict; not as metre scouts, hovering on the fringes of the fray, but in the foremost fighting line where the heaviest work is to be done.There is the place for the ships of Canada, to bear the flag that braved a thousand years the battle and the breeze.the flag that we derive as of right from the strong men of past centuries, the flag for which Canadians have lived and fought and died.\u201d Graham's Speech.Hon.George FP.Graham expressed sdrprise at the doleful picture drawn by the Minister of Marine of the pos- aible defeat of the British fleet.If he (Mr.Hazen) thought that possible, he (Mr.Graham) did not.The policy of the Government was one hoth of inae- tivity and inability.Tt was a reversal of the old jingo couplet, end now it was: \u201clf Great Britain wants to fight we will give her the battleships, but not a man.\u201d On this point of not manning the ships.Mr, Graham appealed to the English, the French and the Irish blood in turn and asked what they thought of it.\u201cIf this bill is to be- - come law, then 1 appeal to the Government and men behind them to strike out this libel on the Canadian people, and if you age going to give | : Ù ships paid for by Canadians, do nod send them afloat as boats unmann Give what Britain wants more thas money, the lives and hearts of heg sons to defend the Empire.\u201d Pelletier Speaks.The Hon.L P.Pelletier, who only spoke for a short time previous to ade journing the debate until to-morrow, when he will speak again, twitted the Mr.Graham on his speech, which was not fitting to the occasion.The prese ent Laurier policy of wanting to de more was the continuance of the pole icy which bad distinguished all the exe Premiers actions for years.The Liberal pariy was now playing mere politics with the Naval policy.Everpe where in the Province of Quebec the Leader of the Opposition would try to pose as the great French-Canadian, while in other parts of the country he, would say that he had got one bettes than the Conservative party.J The policy of Borden was one deq sired by the Mother Country, statel Mr.Pelletier, amid the cheers of hia own party.It was formed with a dee sire to please the Mother Country, A war of armament was going on, tending to take from England the sue! premacy of the sen.That was the danger and a serious one.# He recalled Mr.Borden's words is London, with regard to one fleet unity Separate navies in distant seas mighp not be on the spot at the right times As to the present attitude of thi Liberal party, Mr.Pelletier stated that when the people of the Mother Country would read it in the morni they would say that he had been plage ing politics with 6 big question.efore adjourning the debate Mb Pelletier said that the Liberal party had opposed every big thing that had been done for Canada.hey had never heen big men and to-night they were small men.Me.Pelletier raised great fun \u201c commenting on the Laurier scheme the Niobe and Rainbow, he said: \u201cK would rather have no ships at all than put on old tuba that go ashore on Yare mouth Rocks.\u201d (Loud laughter) Mr.Pelletier adjourned the debatg at 11:15, LADIES COMM TO

Council meeting was whether the latter was aware of such a prospectus, and iñ- stead of getting the information was called down.\u2019 Mayor Drouin remarked that Ald.Lockwell Was enough of a business man to know thay the Dorchester company could not be held responsible for what appeared in circulars sent out by broker's firms.If, as he states, he was harshly dealt with at the meeting, it was because before entering the Council chamber he had stated to his colleagues that the company had cleared $350,000 and that he (Mayor Drouin) was interested in the company.This is what he had been told by outsiders.Ald.Lockwell replied that whoever told His Worship that he (Ald.Lockwell) made such an assertion that the Mayor was interested in the company, told a falsehood.What he objected to in the prospectuses was Ald.Canpany.He considered him a most respectable citizen and a hard-working member of the Council, but considered it out of place for him, as leader of the Council, to also be a director of a company which had a contract with the city, City\u2019s Fault, Not Company's.Ald.Cannon in reply stated that he had never seen these prospectuses until that evening and never had anything to do with them.They could not prevent brokers from taking ail means to dispose of their debentures.He had been appointed a director of the company in June last, and the contract had been signed in February last, and the company was ready to supply the necessary lighting if the ornamental poles were erected, and that was the city\u2019s fault.He had worked continually to have an opposition company for the lighting of the city and was glad to say he had succeeded, with others, in securing cheaper light.When the company will have completed their work and give all the necessary light to the city and citizens, he will then consider whether he will resign or not as a director of the company, The discusion was kept up hy Ald.Madden and Ald.Lockwell and finally concluded iy Ald.Fiset, who closed the debate.Victoria Park Question.His Worship informed the Committee that the principal object of calling the Committee together was to consider a letter from the Nuns of the General Hospital who object to a clause added to the Quebec city bill by the Legislative Assembly, empow- eting the city to dispose of part of Victoria Park to railway companies.When they sold the property to the city fn 1896, it was understood it was to be nothing but a park, otherwise no sale would have taken place.for the laying out of a railway yard where locomotive and cars will be continually shunting and where the whistling of these locomotives will cause considerable annoyance to the sick inmates of the hospital and the elderly lady boarders, If the project was carried out they would have to remove to other quarters after all the good they had accomplished in the city during the past 200 years.Ald.Verret inquired as to who had asked the Legislature to interfere in this park matter, and was informed by Mayor Drouin that after a consuita- tion with Mr.Wm.Price, acting for the Federal Government, on Monday last, he had submitted,the question to the Provincial Cabinet and it was then decided on Tuesday morning to add the clause to the bill, which gave the city more powers of expropriation.Mr.Chouinard, City Advisor, informed Ald.Madden that the city had 8 right to expropriate for municipal improvements and the Federal Government for railways, which brought a remark from Ald.Verret that in that case the Government and not the city should expropriate.Mayor Drouin replied that the Government did not want to have anything to do with the nuns, but only with the city, and if the city would not acquiesce in that, then the propositions would be called off.The \u2018Transcontinental had two plans, one passing through Victoria Park and another to erect u station at Lampson's Cove and build their fine west towards Sillery.Long Legal Argument.A lengthy argument ensued between Messrs, Chouinard, Cannon and Morin as to the rights of the city on the park.which had been sold on certain conditions to the city.but Mr.Chouinard claimed that the Victoria Park was the city's property as it had been purchased for $20,000, payable $500 annually.Asked by Ald.Verret as to who should pay any damages which the nuns would suffer, the city sttorney replied that no damages could be claimed from the city for disposing of Victoria Park, which was their property, and if any damages were caused hy the Alling up.or changing the course of the River St.Charles, any riparian proprietor had a right to a claim against the Government which owned the rivers.Mr.Chouinard, in reply to Alderman Cannon, stated that the city could not give « clear title of the land to the C.P.R, but could to the Government.Aldermen Madden, Gauvin, Pouliot and others continued the debate.Ald.Fiset finally remarked that he was as much in favor of protecting the nuns as anybody else, but the progress of this city should not be stopped by a dispute as to whether the city had a right or not.Progress of a city should not be paralyzed by anybody and useless impediments should not he placed in the way, It was Quebec's chance now or never and il the nuns sustained any dam.ages they would no doubt be paid.non\u2019s name as a director of the com- |- LIGHT THROWN ON STOCK EXCHANCE

the committee, bristled with technical dis- eussions and involved digressions.Mr.Sturgis at times insisted on lengthy digressions in answering questions and once flatly declined to answer.His counsel, John G.Milburn, inter- {ered to preserve the calm dignity of the occasion.The testimony of Mr.Sturgis brought out the following points: The membership of the Stock Fxchange has not been increased since 1869, when it was fixed at 1100.Since then the business done and the securities listed on the exchange have increased about fifty times over.Mr.Sturgis declared that an increase in membership was unnecessary, for the present membership was well able to handle the business of the public.In a dozen recent failures, Mr.Sturgis admitted, Stock Exchange houses had carried with them stock owned in part by their customers, but hypothe.cated Ly the brokers for more than the real ownership of the broker.In such cases the proceeds of the sale of the bankrupt broker\u2019s seat on the exchange goes, it was explained, not to his customers, but to his creditors inside the exchange, Mr.Sturgis thought this was fair and just, as it was a regulation subscribed to by the members in the exchange and recognized by the public.Borrow On Customer's Btock.Stock Exchange brokers usually use the stock owned in part hy their eus- tomers as collateräl to support their own loans, Mr.Sturgis said, re-hy- pothecating the securities for a greater amount than fe represented in the debt of the customer on the stock He added that the governors of the exchange would welcome any suggestion that would put a stop to the practice.He disagreed with 2 scheme proposed by Mr.Untermyer that would foree brokers to mark on \u201cJoan envelopes\u201d containing their collateral, the amount for which they were already held as security by the broker, in order that the bank might make its loan to the broker on that basis.This scheme, Mr.Sturgis contended, would entail an almost prohibitive amount of bookkeeping.Mr.Sturgis, through a grilling, detailed examination, insisted that the Stock Exchange could not prevent manipulation of the market by pools and syndicates.He said they could not go behind a transaction to discover a buyer's or seller's motive.On this point Mr.Sturgis and counsel for the committee had a spirited argument.Commissions The Main Thing, \u201cIs it legitimate for a member of the exchange to give an order to sell a certain amount of stock to one broker and an order to buy the same amount of the same stock to another broker?\u201d asked Mr.Untermyer.\u201cSo long as there is no collusion and the commisions are paid it is not illegitimate,\u201d said Mer.Sturgis.\u201cThe important point is that the broker's commission be paid?\u201d asked the lawyer.\u201cYes, that is it.\u201d \u201cYou know that the object of \u201cat sort of a transaction Îs to raise or depress the price of the stock?\u201d \u201cThe object is to create an active market.\u201d \u201cA market that appears to he active, you mean?\u201d \u201cYes\u201d Mr.Untermyer sought in vain to get from Commissioner Sturgis his view of the position of the trading public in such a transaction with the stock at a fictitious figure, and finally objected to the form of the witness\u2019 answers, Stock Exchange, Not Moral Question.\u201cYou are asking me a moral ques- Ald.Cannon replied that what he objected to in the amendment rade was that it was to the effect that any damages would be paid by the city.The committee decided to have the question of the amendment to he drafted by the two city legal advisors and Ald.Cannon, and tn propose it before the Legislative Council, an! on motion of Ald.Fiset this was agreed to.After some other tmportant business the committee adjourned.Finance Committee, Ald, Cannon presided and the most important business was a discussion on the price of gas, when it was finally decided to notify the Merger that in six months the contract between the city and the gas company would be discontinued owing to the high price.This contract had been passed in 1907, when the price of gas fo wens was decided upon as well tax to be paid by the company.THE QUEBEC CHRONICLE tion, and T am answering a Stock Exchange question,\u201d said Mr.Sturgis with a smile, and the committee laughed.The witness insisted that these transactions were beyond the power of the exchange to discipline s0 long as the commissions were paid.The relations of the New York and Consolidated Stock Exchanges came in for a share of attention, following the testimony of Consolidated members that the New York exchange forbade its members to do business with Consolidated brokers, Mr, Sturgis made a statement admitting the bitter rivalry, but said that the fact that the Consolidated commissions were only half those of the New York Stock Exchange bad nothing to do with the ill- feeling.Finally he did admit, however, that if the Consolidated raised its commissions to the New York level, \u201cit might be a healing balm to some extent.\u201d Mr.Leon Garneau, K.C.Montreal, is in town on parliamentary business, and is a guest at thé Chateau.Mr.J.P.Dooley, of the North Shore Power, Railway and Navigation Company, has left for Clarke City, where he will spend the winter.Among the passengers who left yesterday by the Government steamer Montmagny were Mr.and Mrs.Frank

in 1913, Frank L.Chance will never again be the same.Charles W.Murphy, owner of the Chicago Cubs, and the most disliked man in baseball, has broken Chance; Murphy is drawing a curtain over one of the remarkable careers of a wonderful baseball genius, Chance was big enough to defy Murphy and he dd: Chance ran the Cubs as he saw fit.The pennants and world\u2019s championships won by the Cubs under Chance show how fit he was to conduct the baseball affairs of that organization.Chance had a baseball machine that, with the exception of Connie Mack's Athletics of 1910 and 1911, stands without a parallel in the history of the game.The Culis began to sink the day Murphy became active in trying to force his own ideas of management into the clubhouse.Murphy started tc war on Chance and the players felt the force of the conflict.The club suffered.The pennant of 1912 was won by the Giants, but the biggest honors of the season must go to Chance's team for the fight they made when they came from away behind and all but overhauled the Giants.It was one of the greatest feats performed by a team any season.An accident to his head put Chance out of the game.While he was being operated upon Murphy announced that he was through with Chance and that the man who had wou pennants for Murphy's club would no longer be with Chicago.Murphy kept his word and appointed Johnny Evers as the successor of Chance.Chance may manage some other club next season and he may play list base, but it will never be the Chance of old, whom they called the \u201cPeerless Leader,\u201d for Murphy has broken the man who opposed his wishes, and Murphy is drawing the curtain down on the career of one of the greatest of all time.KILBANE BEATS DIXON, St.Louis, Mo.Dec.12\u2014 Johnny Kilbane, champion

deeaxniil, wed, iri satxad AMERICAN TEAM WILL CHALLENGE U.& TENNIS PLAYERS WILL PLAY FOR TENNIS TROPHY IN ENGLAND.San Francisco, Dec.10.\u2014Maurice E.McLoughlin, national tennis champion, will undoubtedly make a trip to England next year in another attempt to life the Dwight F.Davis international championship trophy.The defeat of the Australians\u2014 Brookes, R.W.Heath and A.W.Dunlop\u2014by J.C.Parke and Charles P.Dixon, sends the championship trophy over to England, and it is practically certain that America will have a team in\u2019 the field for the matches next year.There is no player surer of making the trip than McLoughlin.The local youngster is the present national champion.He is in the employ of tennis enthusiasts, who will be expected to insist that McLoughlin make another attempt at lifting the cup.McLoughlin has already made two trips to Australia in an effort to bring the Davis cup back to this country.With the other members of the team he has been unsuccessful twice, and he is anxious for another fling at it.It is going to be a far easier matter to get three or four challengers to go over to England than it was to get a like number to go to Australia.Instead of looking about for suitable players and asking every prominent man to go there will doubtless be one lively competition for the places on the team.The journey to England will take about one-third of the time that the Australian one did.There are any number of experts willing to put in a month in the hope of bringing back the cup, and it looks as though it would be an easier matter to wrest it from the Britishers than it was from Australia.American enthusiasts will always consider that\u2019 they were unfortunate in not having a team on the ground this year.There is a feeling here that a team from this country could have won the trophy as easily as did the English players.Brookes probably was at his best for the last time last year.The switching in the temporary ownership of the truphy means that Australia will send a team to this country next season to meet the Americans to determine upon a challenger for the trophy.The next meeting of the National Tennis Association will be held in February and until that time nothing will be done toward considering the challenge to the Britishers.ES § Fire sweeps through heart of Brown City, Mich.and threatens

HOUSE FOR MARCEL PLAYERS \u201cVINOT JOURS À L'OMBRE\u201d DELIGHTS BIG AUDIENCE AT THE AUDITORIUM, \u2014\u2014 Paul Marcel's French Comedy Company is meeting with well-deserved success.Last evening the Auditorium was erowded to its utmost capacity with the best element of Quebec\u2019s French-Canadian population, to enjoy Maurice Hennequin and Veber's comedy in three acts, entitled \u201cVingt Jour a l'Ombre,\u201d or \u201cTwenty Days in the Shade.\u201d The plot is a continuation of funny situations, in which Pantfuche, the role assumed by Mr.Marcel, finds himself is difficulties that make him liable to imprisonment for twenty days, owing to an intrigue with a woman, and not wishing his wife to learn of the affair he finds an old friend who agrees to serve the time as a substitute.This only aggravates the complications that follow, and the humorous situations involved are so ludicrous that the sudience is fairly convulsed with laughter.By degrees the deception is discovered by the foster brother of Pantruche, a worthless member of the family.In his cups he tells the story to the fond wife.In the meantime the magistrate appears on the scene as an avowed suitor of the mother-in- law of Pantruche, which further complicates matters, and raises a storm which happily ends by the friend coming forth to assume all blame.The characters were all well taken and the costumes of the women most pleasing.Mr.Marcel is a success as a comedian, and the play is devoid of the least suspicion of vulgarity.The ladies in the cast are well up in their respective roles and play them with easy grace and bewitching vivacity, not only fully at home on the stage but perfect in their lines, and the company, on the whole, is worthy the support is is receiving from the public, SNOW SHOE CLUB GIVES A DANCE FOLLOWERS OF BLACK AND RED CELEBRATE THE THIR- TY-8IXTH ANNIVERSARY, The members of the Quebec Showshoe Club gave a dance at their club house last night in order to celebrate the thirty-sixth anniversary of the club\u2019s foundation.About thirty couples foregathered at the rendezvous which had been decorated handsomely for the occasion with flags and bunting.The guests were received by Mesdames Rattray, Lynch and Stocking, who carried out their duties in the most efficient manner, The music was supplied by Carbonneau\u2019s Orchestra and, as the floor is one of the best in the city, a most enjoyable time was spent by all present, dancing being continued from hali- past cight to after one o'clock.None of the old-timers who were active members when the club was first formed were present.THREE POWDER MILLS BLOW UP NOBODY HURT IN EXPLOSION AT ACTON, MASS, CAUSED BY SPARKS, Acton, Mass, Dec.12\u2014Three mills of the American Powder Mills Company blew up

about a spirited rally after new low leiels had been made in the early trading, there heing exceptional advances like five points for Union Pacific.Short covering was largely responsible for the rally, the market being oversold andl logically entitled to improvement.Support was noted in the Steel issue and the general list seemed inclined to cut loose from Union Pacific and Reading.which were the weak spots, during the first hour.Some stress was laid upon the granting of higher class rates by the Interstate Commerce Commissicn, which had previously been held up, this being interpreted as indicating a change of front on the part of that body.On the other hand.the Money Trust Investigating Committee was still husy trying to dig up evidence against the Stock Exchange, which was not reassuring to speculative circles.Foreign news was none too cheerful, there being skepticism as to the outcome of the peace negotiations.The relations between Austria and Bervia continue unsettling, it being reported that the Minister of the latter country had been recalled.Rumors played their vart'in che recovery, it being reported, for instance, that Morgan interests had taken over fifty thousand shares of Union Pacilic, but this was not credited in well-informed circles.Money ruled steady .the heavy reduction in loans tending to help the sit- vation.There was profit-taking during the last hour.but the market closed showing advances over the previous day.We would not advise purchases, though the worst of the pressure \u2018seems to be over, it being wise to wait for the situation to definitely clear up.Ft shuûld be borne in mind that a secondary reaction usually follows a sharp recovery.such as we are experiencing, and opportunity should be afforded to buy @ more satisfactory levels.THE CHRISTMAS TORONTO \u201cGLOBE\u201d Parties needing a copy of the above to send away to the Old Country, should take their chance before they are all sold out.as they are selling fast, and
