Major Leonard, N.T.R.Commissioner, which was tabled today.| The return shows that there has been scarcèly any correspondence on the subject of grades, the latest being in 1912, when General Manager Chamberlain end Commissioner Leonard discussed the subject in three or four, letters and the Commissioner pointed out that the changes made were exactly in line with what the G.T.P.| was doing on its own section of the, road and further that there was no- | thing in tbe agreement between the Government and the country that prohibited the changes being made.! Commigpioner Leonard at that time pémed out one or two of the var- : Îeus itéms of waste which have just | boetr tited by the report of Messrë.| Gatelios \u2018and Lynch-Stzuntot.\u201cMe, olsq stated emphatically: that thei changes in grades were not in ruling grades anf! that they would nop affect ! the hauling pawer 52 locomotives.The Quebec Terminals.: \"The correspondence with regard to the Quebec terminals is of interest, - though it has little bearing today in | view of Premier Borden's statement in the House on January 19 that the Grand Trunk has assented to all the changes made at Quebec.What hy pparent, through the correspondence tabled today is the evident apprehension on the part of Grand Trunk officials that the C.P.R, would get the better of them at Quebec in the Unior.Station plan.In August, 1912, President Chamberlain wag in favor of going back to the o:~'nal plan at Quebec, and it is made clear that at that time, the G.T.R.people feared that the C.P.R.would get control 6f all the deep water frontage belaw the Dufferin Terrace and Citadel, including the Champlain Market, which they would then be able to reach from : th directions and at the same time ave the G.T.R.tied up fast with the ; Union Station \u2018proposition.In April, 1913, Major Leonard estimated the cost of the Quebec terminals at about four millions, jbut President Chamberlin in His reply.put the cost st over cight millions and annual interest charges at $198,184.He was still against the tunnel scheme and in favor of the original market plan.He thought that extensions \u2018would be necessary beyond Wolfe's Cove for freight, that would cost two or three Dillion alone, Major Leonard replied at this view was not warranted as the Quebec Harber Commission would construct all wharves along the river front just as had heen done at Montreal.He further declared that Mr.Chamberlain's estimate of interest charges was too high by 50 per cent or more.There are further letters along the same line, the latest being last August., Since then.tvents have moved and a gettlement Bas been arrived at as stated by the Prime Minister on the first day of the session.\u2014\u2014 cac MINISTER SWORN IN, Toronto, Feb, 18\u2014Hon.Dr.R.FI.Preston was sworn in at Government House today as a member of the Ontario, Provincial Cabinet Council yithout portfolio, jucceeding Hon, ; cas, recently appointed vincial Treasurér.po Pros RETAIL MERCHANT'S ANNUAL BANQUET MEMBERS WOULD MAKE FALSE ADVERTISING CRIMINAL OFFENCE.\" \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Ottawa, Feb.18\u2014The ninth sunval convention of the Dominion Rcard of the Retail \u201cMerchants Association o!

when Hu Honor the Lieutenant Governor Sir Francois Langelier, has officiaily sanctioned the legislation passed and formally dismissed the members of both Houses with.the usual complimentary expressions, one of the most turbulent periods through which the Province of Quebec, politically speaking, has ever passed, will be brought to a solemn termination.Little it was thought when the present session opened amid the booming of cannons and the blair of trumpets, and was followed up with all the sessional dinners and festivities, that oo the eve of the greatest, the reception and ball in honor of His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, there should be exposed an astounding chapter of corruption, by which there are three vacant seats in the Legislature and three of the proudest supporters of the Government have fallen into disrepute.The story is not yet complete, for the echoes are still resounding throughout the province, and who knows what changes time may have wrought by the time that the next session comes round.The Legislative Assembly finished ising of any article a criminal of- their work shortly after midnight and fence.They also desire an amerN- will

decision of Judge Grant in arbitration under the Workmen's Compensation Act in which His Honor held that the widow and children of Steve Plecas, a railway laborer, could not recover damages for his death because Plecas was killed while at work on a Sunday, was this morning set aside by Justice Gregory.Judge Grant said, among other reasons, that under the Lord's Day Act, Plecas had no business Lo be.working on a Sunday, and that as contracts entered into on Sunday were unlawful, \u201ctherefore, Plecas' dependants could not claim any lenefits under the Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act.Justice Gregory of the Supreme Court in\u2018reviewing the case this morning, held that there was nothing in the Workmen's Compensation Act to deprive an injured party from obtaining benefit even if the injury oe- curred \u201con à Sunduy, and that the penal provisions of tht Lord's Day Act were not applicable to Workmen's Compensation cases.KILMARNOCK \u201cJOHNNIE 8 THE STANDA-D OTCH Ww ice sa.- CE

the whole of the afternoon sitting, \u2018the bill being finally passed.- In explaining the object of the Bill Hon.Sir Lomer Gouin retraced the history of the School to its institution.It had been established by the Government at the instigation of the Montreal Chambre de Commerce, which had at the time, undertaken to furnish the institution with a certain sum of money annually.Since the institution of the School, however, the only money it had received, had been voted to it by the Government.He recalled that at the time of the founding of the School it had been decided that it should be some day affiliated with one of the universities of the Province.The number of pupils at present attending the School was 65, all of whom were French-Can- adians.It was only rezsonable therefore, that the Schol become affiliated with Laval University.He explained that, as the Government had been voting an annual subsidy of $50,000 for the school, the same amount should be devoted to Protestant higher education, for otherwise, people who bad been paying taxes for the upkeep of the institution.would lose the benefit of it.He added that he wished the clause giving the School powers to affiliate itself with the University be approved by both Committees of Public Instruction, and by the Lieutenant-Cov.ernor in Council.Sir Lomer added that the approval of the two Public Instruction Committee's was important, as the question of compensation would be the affair of the Protestant Committee of the Council of Publie Instruction, Lavergne Scores Government, Mr.Lavergne who was the next speaker, rebuked the \u2018Jovernment for founding the School which they claimed had been such an expense to, them.The Opposition would rather the Government had instituted a chair at one of the two Universities.The Government was only doing what the Opposition had anticipated, but they would now have to face the disapproval of the Protestant section of the population, ; who had been paying taxes for the mainteucnce of the institution.PT ; A Colossal\u201d fiasco, As a remedy for the state of affairs into which the Government was deliberately plunging itself, he made the suggestion that a\u2019 subsidy of shout twelve thousand dollars be voted to Laval Univertity, for the giv- ng of a course of higher commercial udies, such a» wae bein ven at the School, which he, te, had been a colossal fiasco, despite the \u2018large sume of money spent on it.He suggested that the School Ruilding when vacated, should be sold to the City, us being the best means of get- i \u2018 \u2018} He

moving bis resolution Mr.Mac Lean said he doubted if there was a country in the British Empire where corrupt practices in elections were as prevalent as in Canada.Conditions were deplorable and called

view that Mr.Maclean was not sincere in moving this resolution.In i907 when Sir Alan Aylesworth was Minister of Justice, he had rejected a somewhat similar resolution proposed by the Opposition.On that occasion, there had been no dissent on the part of Mr.Maclean, Admits Liberal Corruption, Sir Wilfrid Laurier did not think that any one un the other side of the House was in a position to cast any stones at the Opposition.He was quite willing to admit that the party to which he belonged was not without stain.There had been many offences in connection with elections, and there was room for reform, The Prime Minister in his Halifax platform had made a large contract, larger perhaps than he can carry out, but that platform contains some suggestions which might well be considered.Sir Wilfrid expressed the personal view that, while the law as it stands is in some respects too severe, in other respects it is too lax.The question had slso been advocated of making election day a holiday.tion to offences against the law, Public opinion was usually at fever heat by election day and to take men away from their regular avocations was to invite to disurder.But the law should make it obligatory that an hour or two hours be given every man in which to vote.He knew cases where men had been kept from voting by impediments put in theie way.Against Compulelon, Sir Wilfrid doubted it compulsory voting would bring all that was ex- pécuaé from it.Voting was a prin lege and if à man did not exercise EXTENSIGN PLANS LAST YEAR sion plans last year and this will in- volva a tots

budget is brought down, probably within the nent three weeks, Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his supporters will have summoned sufficient courage to bring the subject of free food within the range of parliamentary discussion.So far the Liberals have shunned the very name of free food and there are some who say that Sir Wilfrid Laurier had it intimated to him in a very direct way that any attempt to remove or reduce food duties would be regarded by the agriculturists in Canada as a distinctly unfriendly act.Sir Wilfrid has already antagonized the cities by his efforts to make the farmers believe that reciprocity would give them ; a larger market and better prices for Now if the farmers get better prices the cost of living to the consumers must Increase, hence the hostility of the consumers.Under the free food proposition Sir Wilfrid plans to reduce the cost of living te the consumers by placing the Canadian farmer in direct competition with the United States farmers, thus

matter for chagrin and sorrow to the Government, but it will hardly help matters for them to charge it all to partisan politics.The Fair Bill and Its Powers.Sir Lomer also eecks to make a point of defending the character of the Montreal Fair Association Bili itself He said that the accusers failed to make good their charge, that the bill was a vicious one, which bore on its face the evidence of its own unworthiness.Well, that is a matter of opinion in which Sir Lomer\u2019s word is of no greater value than that of others The Daily Mail has already printed an analysis of the Bill, painting out its vicious features, emphasizing the undue and unwise powers it conferred upon the incorporaters of the com- pany\u2014which included everything under the sun, from runsing a bar and a betting ring to organizing à bank\u2014 and if Sir Lomer wants to argue that the Bill is stil] all right, that is his If, however, he had been more candid, or if his committee had been less eager to shut out

investigation committee it was not due to those who brought the accusations, the only politics discernable were those palyed by the majority members of the committee, who consistently voted to close the door whenever the enquiry threatened to broaden out into dangerous fields, and by the chairman, the Hon.Mr.Taschereau, whose every question to the witnesses for the accusers was eouch- ed in language that suggested or implied a direct insinuation against their Neither can Sir Lomer find support for his charge of politics by a reference to the files of the newspaper at whose instance the investigation was instituted, during the time the paper was under the control of those responsible for the investigation.By such a reference, Sir Lomer will find that warm support was given to a number of the policies which he has espoused at the present session of the Legislature and that his course in regard to such matters as the stoppage of the nefarious library site \u201cgrab\u201d the better control of the liquor tariff in the province, the proposals for improved highways, and the extension of the educational facilities of the province, was approved in terms no less sincere and no less enthusiastic than those employed in the most ardent of rock- have brought cheers from his party colleagues and tears from soma of ties spectators in the \u201cgalleries.\u201cAn infamy has been committed and the historian will scourge the author of this infamy and he will flay those who wish to justify it\u201d said Sir Lomer.He described himself as the \u201cmod- citizen who now occupies the posi- on of Prime Minister of thie.prew- ince, whose wi.~7 shoulders have \"for nine years how upborne the honor aod dignity of this province,\u201d and, who, for etill more years, preceding that, has guarded the fair came and fame of old Quebec while all or nearly ail, the others slept.Sir Lomrer iv credited by his friends with being as indefatigable student of the classics.And I make no doubt that, consclonsly or otherwise, Sir homer drew upon his store of Engilsh class- icat lore for this choice bit of rhetoric.In fact, | take from my library shelf a volume of Charles Dickens entitled \u201cMartin Chuzzlewit\u201d and there I find the simost exact counterpact of Sir Lomer, im words, is pose, in poise, in manner, in that masterpiece of Dickens creation, \u201cMr.Pecksnift.\u201d Mr.Peckeniff it was who, the day of hls trial, \u201cwore an apostolic look if ever he wore one in his life\u201d Mr.Pecksuid, it was, who \u201cseas a most exemplary man, fuller J virtuous precept

carried the virtue of his tittle world upon his own well-mean- ing shoulders.\u201d Almost a complete parallel for Sir Lomer\u2019s speech can be found by those who are curious enough to look up the volume.Mr.Perron Shocked.And now we come to Mr.J.L.Perron, K.C, M.L.A,, a member of the Committee of Investigation whase feelings were also so badly lacerated by the develish plot to undo the government, that he could hardly give expression to them in the House.Perron, who started in at the investigation, like the proverbial Bull of nesses who weakened under the attack of his rural-lawyer-like cross-ex- amination, and who ended the investigation with a manner comparable only 10 the cooing deve; Perron who loudly demanded the production of the detectives\u2019 daily records and when they were available, in sotto voice, objected to their appearance and secured their exclusion; Perron, who charged the chief witness with being \u201ca Tory\u201d without troubling to enquire what his politica really were; Perron who told another witness without the slightest occasion that he would be lucky if he got out of Quebec without being arrested; Perron, who spent a couple of hours in secret and confidential talk with Detective Biddingef on the afternoon of the day that Biddinger made his unexpected departure in response to a committee was through with him.What does Perron say in mitigation of the committee's report sustaining the charges?Perron saye that the newspaper which instigated the investigation had been guilty of assailing without cause financiers of repute in the City of Montreal\u2014meaning, doubtless, the \u201cfinanciers\u201d who have been or who are exploiting for their own ends the city\u2019s needs for a traction service.The paper alluded to can defend itself, but, speaking for the time during which it was under other coatrol, 1 can assure Mr.Perron that the only interests the paper attacked were those inimicable to the welfare of the citizens of Montreal.Here, again, is a fact for which abundant proof would have been forthcoming had the scope of the Legislative Committee\u2019s enquiry not been re- Bashan, ready to eat alive any wit-.LA THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1914, ÊTRE CAPTURE OF MALMO CASTILLO FURNISHES A KNOTTY PROD- ' AEM FOR UNITED STATES OFFICIALS TO SOLVR Washington, Feb, 18\u2014The capture of Maximo Castillo, the Mexican bandit chief charged with responsibility for tbe Gumbre Tunrg! tragedy, on Americas soll, has furnished a knotty problem fer officials here Fram the moment General Bliss reported today that Castillo and his companions bad been taken by the border patrol in New Mexico there were conferences and exchanges between the State and War Department officials to detérmine what should be donc with the prisoners, who are temporarily held at Fort Bliss.As the crime charged agminst Castillo was committed in Mexican tesri- tosy, American courts are without jurisdiction, although many of she victims were Americans.In time of peace the prisoners would be sursen- dered under the extradition proceedings to the governor of the Mexican state of Chituahua for trial.But as Pres.Wilson has formally declared there is no government in Mexico, any extradition proceedings would involve grave difficulties.The State Department has been appealed to and pending its arrival at a decision, it is the intention of the War Department to retain Castillo and his party in custody under the same conditions as General Salazar and the Federal soldiers who came across the international line with arms in hand, thereby subjecting themselves to interment, 'PLEDGED TO WEAR STRAW HATS ALL THE YEAR ROUND San Diego Business Men's Plan for Advertising Balminess of the California City.San Diego,

interested, and leaving the premises got into a carter's rig with his brother to drive to the lower town, Phe carter was engaged in srrang- ing the sleigh rugs, when the horse started off on a run.The carter who iad let go the reins and was unable te check his horse, tumbled into the sleigh on top ef the knees of the other two occupants, snd before he could recover himself, to secure the reins, the horse turned the corner into Crown street, on a sharp curve, with the result that all three occupants of the sleigh were thrown out into a heap on tire roadway, The carter lay in a pile of snow when assistance rescued the three; the Mayor's brother was stretched out on the street unconscious, and the Mayor suffering from bruises, Both Mayor Drouin and nis brother were assisted back into the

been sent to the Provincial Government,- requesting that certain works of improvement be made in the Chaudiere River, south of Beauceville, to prevent the spring floods, ete.The meeting decided to support the petition of the Beauceville Board of Trade.Lake St.Joba Railway.A letter was read from the Public Utilities Commission, enclosing a copy of a petition that had been presented to the Commission from Quebec & Lake St.John Railway, for an order approving of the location and use of flag stations, established or to be established on the line of the said railway, and asking the Board for an expression of opinion on the question, that is to come up for consideration before the Public Utilities Commission on the 24th instant.Result of Lawsuit, The petition is the Yesult of a law suit instituted against he Quebec & Lake St, John Railway by a shipper of goods, and judgment given against the company for loss amounting to The Judge in rendering judgment said \u201cthat as the Railway Act of the Province of Quebec has no special provision for flag stations the general law or the common law had to be applied, and therefore as it was made in the case before him, was not a good delivery, He further said that if the carrier agrees to carry goods to destination, the delivery of these goods is not complete by merely unloading at a place where anybody could steal or destroy them.Put concisely, the Judge, relying upon the Civil Code, said the obligations of the carrier are about the same as the obligations of the depository, who must take care of the goods or things entrusted to him until delivery to their owaer, The judgment being very important, not only to the Rallway Company, but the public, the Commission is asked by the company, if it has freight to flag stations, it will be necessary for the Railway Companies to refuse to accept the same, and it will-work a very great hardship on a line of the nature of the Quebec & Lake St.John Railway, where a great number of flag stitions have been established for the convenience oP the public, even at very short intervals of distance between one and another, and between regular stations, owing to the wildness of the country and the sparse settlement, the Railflag stations solely for the convenience of the people.The petitioners therefore request the Public Utilities Commission to take the matter into serious consideration, and issue an orler approving of the location and usc of all the flag stations established, or to be established on their line of railway, subject, of course, at any time to any orders that the Conmunission sees fit to issue with reference thereto, and approve of a general release form to be obtained from the shipper when goods are shipped to any such eta- tions, It is the opinion of the petitioners that the Commission have the undoubted power to iæue an order, and refer particularly to the Statutes of Quebec, 1911, Chanter 14, Article 742, which gives the Commission supervision over all public utilities, subject to the Legislative authority of the Province, and are given the power to make such orders regarding equipment, extension of works or systems, and any matters that are necessary for the safety or convenience of the public, or for the proper carrying put of any contract, charter or franchise, involving the use of publie\\property or rights,

nice piece of play.The teams went through the second period without another goal being registered.Emmets rushed matters in the final twenty and after three minutes of play M.Redmond tied the score on an individual rush.Thirty seconds later M.Power put the Robert E.'s in the lead: The play raged furiously for five minutes when Harry Walsh renewed the hopes of the Crescent Toronto certainly deserved to win o nthe night's play, as their forwards supporters by evening the count There was any amount of action a outskated the Ottawas, while their this stage and before the railbird- defence blocked with far more suc- knew where they were W.Quartcess than did Shore and Merrill, who made the count 3 to 2 in favor of the were not by any means as reliable as Emmets.Scarcely had the cheering usual.Cameron and Foyston were the individual stars for the Torontos, each scoring two.Merrill and Gerard were the only Ottaws men who played up to form.Darragh, who was badly hurt in the Canadien game, was only on the ice a short time.Rough Game in Third.Play was clean in the first two periods, but in the third it grew rough, McGiffin jumped into Duford just a minute after he had gune on and was promptly sent away by Referee Pow- ! er, who evidently scented trouble.Darragh struck Walker with his fist after having his stick knocked away and he too was sent ofl.The Torontos roughed it back and drew a total of $32 in fines, while the Ottawa penalties only reached half that amount.Davidson had nine minors.Brennan and Power handled the hard game exceptionally well.The result gives the | Torontos an extellent chance for the championship as the Canadiens have yet to play in the capital and to face | the blue shirts at Toronto, Ottawa.Toronto.| Benedict .Holmes Point, !

\u2018 the latter, the rights of the min- rity were being violated for the first time.What was the denomination of wenvulr + speaker supplied his own reply © saying that it was a fioh-sectarian hool.The religion of a school was 't to be decided by the fact that the undation stone had been blessed by Bishop, or by one of the professors ing a Priest.The proof of a non- ctarian school was the fact that it d not come uader the jurisdiction f either the Catholic or the Protesnt Committee of the Council of ublic Instruction.Education was + a religious question, it was a estion of civil law.Sir Lomer said the Government had ne of its kind, and the money de- ited to this work had been as \u2018well \u2018ent as any sum voted by the Gov-nment.If they could only turn out three r four captains of industries from \u201cie School who would stand high in Ye commercial world, the Province suld be justly proud of their worl: The Government had been critic zed \u2018or the prize purses which they had \u2018ven to the students, but the same hing had been done in the Agriculnral Schools and no mention made it Tn these latter institutions.not nly was {ree tuition given but the -tudents\u2019 board was paid Legislative Council.There were two distinct si*t'nas of \u201ce Legislativ: Council yes:erday.At the morning sitting the Mag- \u201cenzie Bill, relating to succession futies was passed, as were the Bills mending the Revised Statutes relat- \u2018ng to the cost of municival inquiries hefore a Judee of the Superior Court, sneerning the saluies of mazis- trates and increasin~ the annua\u2019 grant to the Polytechnic School.The Council accept-d the amendment made by te Assembly to the amendments orevicusly made by Council to a Bill ratifying a by-law passed by the Town of St.Jerome.The object of the amendment is to protect vested interests, At the afternson sitting, the Committee appoñat-d to revise the rules of the House.repored that they had tot completed their work, and recommended the apnointing of a subcommittee to finish this work during the parliamentary vacation.A eub- commitiece was named comoosed of Hon.Messrs.Perodeay, Chapais snd Turgeon\u2014\u2014 eee 0m ZYB8ZKO CLAIMS WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP Louisville, Ky., Feb.18\u2014Stanislaus Zhyszko.of Poland, after defeating Dr.B.F.Roller in straight falls her tonight, announced that in view of the retirement of Prank Gotch, he will claim the wrestling chamnionship of the world and will defend the title against all comers, STEAMER RECRIVED HARD USAGE ON THZ VOY.0R Boston, Feb.18\u2014Delayed many days by storms thc Buckna¥ Line, freighter Kathiamba today ended a voyage {rom India with lifeboats rin- dred had suffered in the sama way snd {same for the malady.i ped open, steel bulkhead doors erueh- ré, the starboard end of the bridge , in splinters and several members of j the crew nursing hurl One of many great seas which boarded the freight.or flooded the ofleers\u2019 quarter Fire | Fire!ll Beginning Thursday, 19 February $10,000.00 worth of Merchandise, slightly dam anc smoke, to be sold at reduction ot cast price.\" .THEQ.GODBOUT Merchant Tailor QUEBEC .Te feb.19x3, 0e ARENA 0 Saturday, February 21st N.H.A.Championship ONTARIO VS.QUEBEC Lo (Champions) ADMISSION .50¢, 75, $1.00, $1.25 and $1.50.Boxes $2.00.Tickets on sale at Arthur Julien, St.John street;

have opened in a sensational manner a carefully prepared and long premeditated war on the American tobacco trust.Dresden, the chief centre of the German tobacco industry, has been greatly surprised during the last few days at numerous mysterious and lengthy visits by strong forces of police to about 25 of the principal tobacco firms in the city.At first it was thought that the action was connected with an extensive and lately discovered system of tobacco smuggling over the Bohemian frontier, but now it transpires that the visits have to do with the alleged illegal doings of firms in connection | with the American trust.According to German law, any dealings with organizations the purpose of whose existence or the constitution of which is withheld from the state government.or dealings with a concern which seeks to achieve its purpose by illegal means, is punishable by imprisonment.It is stated that the expectations of the police have heen surpassed and that some firms believed to he free from all connection with the trust were found to be concerned.That the trust has been doing extremely well \u2018rn Germany is thoucht to be confirmed hy the discovery that one firm last year incrensed its sale of cigarettes by SOA 000000.Germany.like other Eurapean governments, exercises 2 monopoly af the tobacco indretry and will not tnlerate any opposition.SIBERIAN BUTTER IN EUROPE \u2014\u2014 Russian Eggs Also Have Good Market on Continent.St.Petersburg, Feb.18\u2014Russian rs and Siberian butter have hecome most important factors in the progress of the world's

and success of the co-operative principle in Siberia, as well as the swift growth of the butter industry.Siberia dairy and peasant farmers find that while there appears to be an overproduction of butter for the European markets, there is a great want of cherse, and therefore, they progose to devote particular sttention to the development of this branch for the benefit of the British markets.The union \u2018has already acquired its own steamers and barges on the River Obi.SENATOR WINS SUIT.Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb.18\u2014A verdict in favor of United States Senstor Thomas F.Gore

Wilson of inconsistency in his views of the birding effect of the Democratic platform and charging that \u201cgreed for the railroads and the audacious claims of Great Britain seem far more potent with our President than the appeal of the womanhood of the nation,\u201d Senator Bristow, Republican, of Kansas, turned discus sion of woman suffrage in the Senate today into a vigorous debate on the proposed repeal of the free tolls of the provision of the Panama Canal Act.Senator Bristow's attack brought to the defence of the President, several Republican as well as Democratic Senators, while it\" served also as the signal for opening the fight within the Democratic party against repeal of the tolls exemption provision.Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, Democrat, dramatically declared that he would not \u201cstultify\u201d himself by telling bis constituents that he had not kept his platform pledge on the ta!ls question, \u201cbecause the President of the United States does not agree with me.\u201d President Is Busy.* While Senators.were thus enganed in the first open discussion of the approaching battie in Congress over the chief executive's desire for reversal of the Panama policy, the President was himself engaged.with leaders of the House of Representatives who are opposed to repudiating the declaration of the party platform.He discussed the situation with Majority Leater Underwood, and Representative Kitchen, of North Carolina, but so far as could be learned, did not convert them to his view that the provision g-ant- ing free tolls to American vassels violates the Hay-Paunceiote treaty and embarrasses the administration in its foreign relations.Charges Inconsistency, Senator Bristow based his charge of inconsistency against the President on the ground that he had told the suffragiste he could not advocate their cause because the Democratic party had not expfessed itself in the matter, while he proposed that Congress should reverse itself on the to'ls question, despité the fact that the party had endorséd its action.In this connection, the Kansas Senator mentioned the reference in the Baltimore platform \u201cfavoring \u201ca single Presidential term,\u201d and asked whether the President #d \u201cinterpre: tuis plank in harmony with his position as to suffrage, or as to\u2019cancel tolls.\u201d When Senator Bristow said that the Transcontifiental\u2019 railroads had for years been belind the fight against free tolls for American ships, and intimated that they had influenced the President, Senator Lorge.of Muss achusetts, Republican member of the Roreign Relations Committee, took the floor to declare that the President was actuated in his attitude othe t-Il question snlely by his desire to restore the United States to its former prestige among nations.\u201cThe President does not like to see the United States an outlaw among nations\u201d added the Massachussets Senator.\u201d Referring to the visit of woman suffragists to President Wilson last December, Senator Bristow quoted this from the chief executive's reply to their request for support of the equal sufirfiage constitutional amendment: ; \u201cWhen my private opinion is asked by those who are co-operating with me, 1 am glad to give it.but | am not at liberty until I speak for somebody besides myself to urge legislation upon Congress.\u201d Canada Also Concerned When the tolls question came up, the Kansas Senator continued, it was not brought before the President \u201cby the good women of the country, but by a representative of the Englisn Government, whose action had been instigated by the American and Canadian Transcontinental railroads ani British shipping interests.\u201d He quoted the Baltimore platform in its en- the Baltimore platform on the tolls question, because it did mot sepresent the spber judgment of the party on that point.Sesator Chamberlain, of Oregon, who woiced the first formal opposition to the.President within the party | ranks, said: | Question of Rsilroads.| ! \u201cIt is a matter of history that the railways of this country, particular- iy\u2019 the Transcontinental railways, prevented pe construction of the Panama Canal for years, and when the question of granting coastwise vessels freedom from tolls was under discussion here in the Senate those of us wbo know the lobbyists of the railway companies could look up in any of the galleries and recognize those who were lobbying for the railway companies here and opposing this part of the Panama Canal Act.Having failed to defeat the building of the canal, they now invade the field of diplomacy.\u201cWhere are we going to stop?Are we going to listen to an insistence which may be made hereafter by some foreign power against railway- owned ships passing through the canal?That violates the treaty as much as the free tolls provision.Are we going to dismantle our forts?Are we going to say that our naval vessels must pay tolls?Some nation may say tuat they violate the treaty with as much as Great Britain now protests to us.\u201d WANT ANOTHER BEACON.Providence, R.I., Feb.18\u2014The ac- | cident to the

rth an hour before \u2018the close the Street learned that it had assumed too much.Chairman Clark of the Inter-State Commerce Commussion was\u2019quoted in a Washington despatch as saying that President Wilson had expressed no opinion\u201d regarding the merits of the freight rates case.Traders who had bought stocks on the theory that the matter was as good as settled hastily threw over their holdings, and the market slumped swiftly.Much of the day\u2019s gain was lost, although the market closed with a general showing of fair advances.The weekly stéel trade reviews reported a further increase in new orders.Pressed Steel ° Car was strengthened by its annual report, showing a gain of $1,404,000 in net London did little here today.Bonds \u2018were steady.Total sales, par value, $3,785,000.United States bonds were un changed on.call.\u2014 NEW YORK CLOSING LETTER By private wire to M.L Doban, broker, Dominion building, 8t.Peter street.Phone 4748 New York, Feb.18.\u2014 Sentinfent re- | neau & Dupuis;

St.Lawrence route, in anticipation of a large passenger traffic during the coming season of navigation, have commenced the work of organization to meet the situation.Mr.William Stott, general passen- gef agent of the C, P.R, has been in Quebec the past few days in conference with the local passenger agent, Mr.Geo.J.P.Moure, and making arrangements for the C.P.Rimmigration service in the new immigration buildings, on the Louise docks.It is\u2019 Gefinitely decided that the new Allan Line steamers Calgerian and Alsatian, will make the sort of Quebec this \u2018summer terminus, and use the same berth as the C.P.R Empresses.This being possidle as the Empresses and new Allan Lines will arrive glternately during the summer, and the C.P.R, will handle the immigration and general passenger service, providing their separate terms for esch steamer to the west, the same as is done with the company\u2019s own steamer service.It is also likely that the C.N.Rsteamers the Royal Edward and Royal George, will make the port of Quebec thelr terminus.The company has been given an option on { berth accommodation by the Quebec Harbor Commission, next to the C.P.R.and Allan Line steamers, and should the company decide, as expected.to have their steamers remain at Quebec, it\" will mean that three of the most important steamship lines will make the port of Quebec their terminal station.Labor Question.The fact that so many large vessels will make the port of Quebec their terminäa next season, is causing an anxiety among the steamship agents and stevedores, as to how the demand for labor can be met.A TALK WITH THE GREAT GERARDY.The world Tenowned \u2018cellist, or the great Gerardy, arrived in the city yesterday, and will take part in the concert at the Auditorium tonight, with the celebrated baritone Hinshaw and Quebec Symphony Orchestra.Mr Gerardy_is on his third professional visit to Quebec, and in a conversation with 3: Chronicle representative at the CHateau Frontenac last night it always gave him a pleasure to visit the old city.Speaking of his concert, Mr.Garardy said: | am now 36 yenrs of age, and for over twenty years I have been-giving concerts.I graduated from the Belgium Conscervatory of Music at the age of 10 years and 6 months, and when only 11 years old startéd out on a concert tour in England.I continued with my sisters, however, until I reached my 13th year, when I was left to my own resources.1 have frequently as 3 boy, played before the late Queen Victoria, making my first acquaintance with Her Majesty, when T was 16 years old, and after that was a guest at Windsor Castle for a week at a time.- The late Queen was very good to me, and the pin 1 now wear, a horseshoe diamond, was presented to me by Her late Majesty, and I prize it above all my possessions.: I came to Quebec on my first visit eight years ago, and two years later returned under the management of Mr, Gauvin, who was an amateur im- presserio at the time, but has since developed into a successful professional, i I gave a concert in Montreal on Teusady night last, which was a phe- nominal success.The theatre was so packed, that the people bought seats to sit in the musicians space, and even on the stage, and standing room at a premium.It was the largest audience ever crowded into a Montreal theatre, an\u2019 inspiring sight, and Î have been since told that hundreds who sought admission were turned away, I have played before all the erown- ed heads of Bufope and have been awarded several decorations, besides being honored.in Spain with the Knighthood of Isabella Catholica.Before coming - over to American on my present tour | gave concerts in Russia, Austria, Germany and England, in all 44, and in England gave concerts with the soprano Tettresini.After 1 leave Quebec I go to Boston, thence to Detroit, New Orleans, the West and California.1 use a 1710 \u2018cello, known as the golden age Strudivarus, which I purchased from Hort snd San, in England, which to me is priceless.- It is insured\u2019 for $23,000, but 1 would not part with it for one hundred times that amount.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u2014\u2014
