London, April 30\u2014At the Bow Street Police Court to-day, the trial of Captain Edmond H.Verney, M.P.for North Buckinghamshire, charged with instigating the procuration of governess, Miss Nellie Beckett, for immoral purposes, Was cofitinued.The Court room was crowded with tleonle of all classes.M&ny letters signed \u201cWilson,\u201d the name which Captain Verney is fcharged with assuming, were identified as being in Verney\u2019s handwriting.The hall potter of a fashionable club testified that letters ad-dre&a&l to \u201cWilson\u201d were forwarded at Verney's request to the latter\u2019s address.Louise Adeline, keeper of an hotel ia Rue I.afitte, Paris, testified that Verney had called upon her on several occasions and asked her to procure for him two or three girls, promising her one hundred francs if she succeeded.Witness said thabsin spite of the captain\u2019s solicitations and the inducements be held forth, she positively refused to undertake the procurations referred to.After some further testimony had been taken, Cant.Verney was formally committed for trial, nis bail being increased from $50,000 to $75,000.Influenza has attacked the horses in the East Kent Hunt Stables.Several valuable hunters have died from its effects.Among prominent men suffering from influenza are the Dukes of Richmond and Gordon, and Lord Houghton.The parliament Committee of which they are members has been compelled to adjourn.Several other Committees are crippled by some of the members being attacked with the scourge.Lord Lansdowne leaves India in October.The Marquis of Lome will succeed him in the Viceroyalty.The Princess Louise will go out with the Marquis.Amid the excitement in Portugal an act of charity by Queen Amelia is favorably commented on.Having heard that the wife and children of Capt.Leitao, the Republican leader of the Oporto insurrection, were in absolute want, the father and husband being under sentence of imprisonment, the Queen herself has taken them under lier protection and is supporting them, as well as other destitute families of the insurgents, out of her own private fortune.As the success of the insurrection would have deprived the King and Quesn of their throne and perhaps their lives, this is regarded as a remarkable example of magnanimity and charity.At a diplomatic reception given here last evening, United States Minister Lincoln had a protracted talk with Lord Salisbury.A man calling himself .T imes Bartliwick Arnold and giving his résidence as York, Pa.) has swindled a number of Englishmen.Ho takes a name from some directory and writes a preliminary letter asking if the address is right and hinting about advantages to accrue.Upon receiving a reply he writes a longer letter, saying that Mrs.E.Avery, of Wilmington, died last January and left a legacy for the addressee which is in the hands of a banker.He asks $48.86 (which is exactly a ten pound note) to pay probate fees, upon receipt of whicli he will forward the legacy.The beauty of the trick is in the fact that people, though \u2019 not knowing Mrs.Avery, think some maiden relative friend doubtlessly married a man named Avery and they quickly snap at the bait.Pahis, April 30\u2014The newspapers announce that the French armies ou the German frontier will be exercised in night military manoeuvres on an immense scale.Early in May all the garrisons in the military department of Mourthe and Moselle, forming part of the sixth army corps, will take up war positions along the frontier.\u2022 The troops in the Meurthe and Moselle will l>c reinforced by a large force of cavalry and infantry and brought together by an extensive mobilization of the army reserves.The troeps thus placed under arms will occupy all the vital positions which they would have to hold in an effort to repulse a supposed invasion by German troops.Adrien Marie, the French painter, has died in Senegal of yellow fever.The following changes are announced in the Diplomatic service : Count de Montebello, now Ambassador at Constantinople, succeeds M.Boulaya as Ambassador at St.Petersburg ; M.Herbette goes from Berlin to Constantinople, M.Billot goes from Rome to Berlin, M.Cambon goes from Madrid to Rome, M.Ronstan goes from Washington tfi Madriii'and Count de Monthelon goes from Athens to Washington, Senator Isaac has given notice that he will question the Government in regard to Hayti, especially as to the significance of the despatch of an American squadron to Port An Prince.Senator Isaac is opposed to the idea of the United States acquiring the Mole-at St.Nicholas as a coaling station.Berlin, April *30-Three-fourths of the male inhabitants of Hassnret, Sars County, Hungary, having emigrated to America, they sent oack enough money to tal^e their wives over.The wives instead of going to join their husbands with the money have begun a disgraceful drunken carousal, which the authorities are unable to stop.St.Petersburg, April 30\u2014The Russian master of the horse, who was recently convicted of a serious swindle upon the Czar, in connection with a present to the Em-[>eror of Germany, has committed suicide.The sw indle consisted in palming off, both on the Czar and the Kaiser, a brass harness for a solid silver harness.The Czar pre sented a magnificent troyka to the Kaiser, with three Russian horses and a Russia» coachman.The harness was alleged to have cost 20,000 roubles,\"and was supposed to be solid.Lately the brass began to show itself, much to thcsurprisc and disgust of the Kaiser.The fafcta reached St.Petersburg, and the Czar oKlercd the dismissal of the master of the horse, who had probably pocketed the difference between the silver and brass.The disgraced officer, overcome with shame and perhaps dreading severe punishment, put an end to his life.Brussels, April 30\u2014Great excitement prevails among the miners of Central Belgium.Meetings of miners arc dispersed by gen-d\u2019armes and all disorderly persons are arrest-ed.\u2019 Buenos Ayres, April 30\u2014The report of the examiners appointed to inquire into the affairs of the National Bank was published to-day and created a bad impression.The report shows a

the hotel with a strange man.This man left the place liefore midnight.It is Itclicved \u201cFrenchy No.1\u201d then went to Carrie Brown\u2019s room, that they quarrelled and the result of the row* was the murder of the woman.The detectives while investigating the murder traced blood marks across the hall into room 33.Upon further investigAti^n of room 33 the detectives found a chair and pillow saturated with blood.Upon the arrest of \u201cFrenchy No 1\u201d an examination of his clothing showed that his shirt front bore, marks of blood.It was also found that his shoulder had blood marks upon it as though a bloody hand had been placed upon it.Inspector Byrne employed two expert chemists and the examination of the blood on the shirt and clothing revealed that it was that of a human being.Evansville, Ind., April 30\u2014The Chicago speculator, B.1*.Hutchinson, arrived here yesterday morning and left at 2p.m.for the South.He seemed troubled and anxious and w\u2019amlered up town aimlessly nutil he finally found the way to the Louisville ft Nashville Depot.The agent at the station thinks he bought a ticket for Memphis.CANADIAN REPORTS.THE QUEBEC BANK TREAD IN MON- McGILL UNIVERSITY CONFERS DEGREES.THE'CANADIAN PRESS ASSOCIATION.NEWS FROM DOWN BY THE SEA.QUEfetfO.Montreal, April 30\u2014To-day the Quebec Bank commences business in its new premises in the New York Life building.The office, which occupies .about oue-half of the ground floor of the building, is spacious and bright.Its fittings are designed to accord in richfifss with the rest of the building.The woodwork is of cherry, massive and handsomely finished.The counter is of polished marble.The walls are delicately tinted in yellow, the cornices being touched with gold.Ou the right hand wall as you enter there is a large bas relief to represent the arms of the bank, a decoration w hich is very effective.In general appearance the office exhibits taste and durability in ite arrangements.The annual convocation for conferring, degrees in the faculties of arts, applied science and law, of McGill University, was hold today in the Windsor Hall, in the presence of a thousand spectators.The Chancellor, Sir Donald Smith, presided.Degrees of L.L.D.were conferred on Dr.Dawson, of the Geolo- fical Survey, and on Rev.Moses Harvey, of few-found land.The Ottawa Valley Graduates Society was represented by Mr.H.F.Ami, who addressed the convocation.There were thirty-nine degrees conferred in arts, fourteen in science and four in law*.The A nglo-American Cable Company opened for business to-day, and a number of messages were sent over the wires.A congratulatory telegram from Mr.W.B.Lountford, of the office here, to Mr.J.H.Carson, of London, Eng., and reply were sent and received in fifty seconds.Mr.F.H.Waycott, the Manager, expects a large business.The death is announced in Paris, of the Revd.Brother Patrick, second Assistant Superior General of the Brothers of the Christian Schools.Deceased was well known in Montreal, where he was one of the pioneers of his Order in Canada.ONTARIO.Ottawa, April 30\u2014The Department of Agriculture was notified to-day of the arrival at Winnipeg yesterday of a carload of settlers from South Dakota.They had with them seven cars of stock and effects.Twenty-five more arrivals from Dakota are expected to-night, w ith more to follow.Twenty oar-loods of effects have already arri\\ed.At St.John's Episcopal Church this morn-Rev.T.W.Paterson, Rector of Christ united in >ng, gram if this report was true, the gallant explorer replied that his expedition A fries next month was at the request of the King of Belgium and not for the English Government as had been stated.A little boy named Willard Durkee, of Portland, Mo., visiting his grandmother at Westport, was kibked by a horse.the other day hut apparently suffered no serious injury.The next morning he was discovered dying in his bed and expired shortly afterwards.The Capitulation of Louisbourg.Writing of the capitulation of Louisbourg, in the May Atlantic, Francis Parkman says : The New England men had been full of confidence in the result of the intended assault, and a French writer says that the timely capitulation saved Louisbourg from a terrible fate ; yet, ill armed and disorderly as the besiegers were, it may be doubted whether the quiet ending of the siege was not as fortunate for them as for their enemies.The discouragement of the French was increased by extravagant ideas of the number of the besiegers.The Habitant de Louixbounj puts them at eight or nine thousand men, and Duchambon reports to the Minister, D'Ar-genson, that he was attacked by thirteen thousand in all.It is true that bis mortifying position was a pressing temptation to exaggerate.W-rren hr ed that the assault would succeed, and wrote to i\u2019epperell that he hoped they would soon \u201ckeep a good house together, and give the Ladys of Louisbourg a Gallant Ball.\u201d When in the camp on the day the flag of truce came out, he made a speech to the New England soldlcrsrexfaorting them to behave like true Englishmen, at which they cheered lustily.Making a visit to the Grand Battery on the same day, he won high favor with the regiment stationed there by f'iving them a hogshead sf rum to drink bis lealth.Whether Warren\u2019s \u201cgallant ball\u201d ever took place does not appear1.Pepperell, on his part, celebrated the victory by a dinner to the commodore and his officers.As the redoubtable Parson Moody was the general\u2019s chaplain and the oldest man in the army, be was invited to ask a blessing at the board, to the great concern of those who knew his habitual prolixity, and dreaded its effect on the guests.At the same time, not one of them dared to rasp his irritable temper by any suggestion of brevity, and hence they came in terror to the feast, expecting an invocation of a good half hour ended by open revolt of the hungry Britons, when, to their surprise and relief, Moody uttered himself thus : \u201cGood Lord, we have so much to thank thee for that time will be too short, and we must leave it for eternity.Bless our food and fellowship on this joyful occasion, for the sake of Christ our Lord.Amen.\u201d And with that he sat down.MIDNIGHT REPORTS.THE INFLUENZA IN ENGLAND.Europe Preparing

its views reasonable.Mr.lostcr, however, remarked t liât if no tariff changes at all were made this session, tiie stereotype question would have to hold over with the rest.The deputation subsequently watted on Hon.Mr.Haggart, Postmaster-General, to ask that the Press Association be notified if the Government, as was rumored, contemplated re imposing postage on newspaper circulation.Hon.Mr.Haggart said that the Government had never so far even considered the idea and he did not think it was likely to at present.He said that so far as revenue was concerned such a step had no great claims, as the largest postal revenue ever derived from newspaper postage, when it was in force, was only about one hundred thousand dollars.Toronto, April 30\u2014Alexander Mackay, the professor of mathematics and

some of the wonderful things I have seen.Once I put a little hay in a tumbler, covered it with water, and set the glass in a warm place for a day or two.Then, with a medicine-dropper, I put a drop of the water on a glass slip, covered it with a very thin glass wafer the size of a cent, placed it under my microscope, adjusted the focus, and what a sight met my eyes.Dozens ami dozens of what looked animated drops of jelly were darling here and there, bumping against one another, or dodging one another like schoolboys at recess.Perhaps among the crowd of smaller ones would dash a much bigger fellow.I fancied it might be a big brother, older than the others by some hours, and so en- / titled to the deference he seemed to exact.Then, in another part of the drop of water, the little ones formed almost a circle, and Îiresently in the center of this came a big _ cllow\u2014he must have been been at least 1.100 of an inch long\u2014who began revolving slowly.\u201c P.T.Burnum,\u201d I thought to myself.\u201c That is exactly the way I have seen him address an audience surroundingacircusring \u201d But I can never know what lie told the small ones, for not even the \u201clittle ghost of an inaudible squeak \u201d reached my ears.Resides these little creatures, I could see what looked like dark specks darting above.Determined to find out what these were, I used a stronger magnifying glass, and looking through it the specks proved to be other little swimmers such as I had just.been examining ; and the latter, of coarse, seemed larger.But now there were still other specks darting about, so a still stronger glass was used, with the same result.Magnify as I might, I could not reach a point where there were not some moving atoms needing further magnifying.I have since learned that no glass has ever been made powerful enough to reveal the tiniest of these \"infusoria\" as they are called.\u2014Mary V.YVorstell, in May St.Nicholas.Soldiers\u2019 Teeth.I believe (says Mr.Outmingham, lecturer on dental surgery at Cambridge University), that dental neglect has a very serious effect in the aggregate upon the health of our soldiers and sailors.Out of 100 army recruits I examined, with an average age of 19 years and seven months, nine were clean, dentally speaking, 38 dirty, and 53 foul.As to tartar deposits, 14 had little deposits, 34 large, and 30 very large.As to tho condition of the gums, only 30 were healthy.There were, in all, 3l8 decayed teeth, 34 badly decayed, and 27 with abscesses at the roots.Two hundred and thirty-one teeth required extraction, or nearly per man.Remember that these are not average Englishmen, but picked men.YVe intend to urge upon the Government that they should do something in the matter for our soldiers and sailors who fight our battles.Formerly no man was enlisted as a recruit if he haul lost more than five teeth.Now it is seven.\u2014Edinburgh Scotsman.\t___________ \u2014YVith every issue the Neic

struggles of the good gray poet, whose limbs are now paralyzed, will intei est thousands of admirers on both sides of the Atlantic.Mr.Traubel has been a near neighbor and privileged friend of Whitman\u2019s for thfe last fifteen years, and his article has, therefore, a greater value than generality of reminiscences and superficial observations of extraordinary personalities, YYTalt Whitman\u2019s portrait, a new picture recently taken, forms the frontispiece of the number, and the article is enriched with sketches and photographs of his bedroom and study, his nurse, Ids house,

giving \u2022 prominence to the eight hours cry, proclaim a battle for other points of the Socialist charter in plainer language than they ever used before.This fervor of revolutionary language frightens the public, keeps every Government alert and has caused extraordinary preparations to be made on a scale equal to what would be required if Europe was about to lie transformed into a field of battle.In Paris, as processions are forbidden, the Socialists will hold four mass meetings.Petitions in favor of a work day of eight hours will be presented to the authorities by delegates from Socialist committees.The Government has no fear of a public disturbance from the Socialist factions.A keen watch, however, is kept upon the Anarchists, a new group of whom, the Jeunesse Anti-Patriote,\u201d has issued placards invoking the soldiers to assist in the revolt of the proletariate.Another Anarchirt manifesto proclaims that the time has coma for the helots of society to

workmen\u2019s committees propose to march 100,000 men in isolated detachments to the Prater, where they will group around the various speakers and will pass the usual resolutions.If disorder arises they will immediately disperse.Tho Government oppoèe the demonstration, yet they will not interfere if quiet is kept.In Rome no uneasiness ia manifested, «3 a minor importance is attached to the May Day demonstration.In Naples, however, a semi-panic prevails owing to the Anarchist threats to blow up public buildings with dynamite.Numerous arrests have been made there.Socialist menaces in Milan, Pavia and Turin ha\\a forced the Government to adopt the severest measures of repression.Processions and meetings are forbidden.In Brussels the burgomaster has forbidden evening meetings.The whole

Quebec.April 30, 1891\tC QUEBEC, FRIDAY, MAY 1,1891.THE SPEECH FROM THh' THRONE.With considerable ecfaf, the first session of the Seventh Parliament, was opened in Ottawa yesterday afternoon, by His Excellency the Governor-General.There was a brilliant military suite in attendance, and nearly every member of the Senate and the Commons was in his place.The Speech from the Throne was not very lengthy, but it outlines a programme which is likely to keep Parliament in session, much longer than was at first supposed.The Governor-General alludes to the general desire of the people of Canada, for a renewal of reciprocal relations with the United States, and he is pleased to find that the authorites at Washington, are willing to meet the Canadian representatives in conference on that subject, next October.His Excellency believes that good in the direction indicated will come.Parliament is asked to renew the modus vivendi in order to maintain the present agreeable feeling which exists between the two countries.Reference is made to the necessity of providing new safeguards for the protection of the cattle trade with the mother country.This is the outcome of Mr.Plimsoll\u2019s representations, about which our shippers heard so much last autumn.The Government of Canada is disposed to meet the philanthropist a good part of the way, to secure the reform he asks for.Indeed, we can have little option in the matter.If we are to have this trade we must do pretty much as the Britishers say.Enquiry into our methods of shipping live stock to Britain was made by a Commission a few months ago, headed by' Mr.William Smith, Deputy Minister of Marine, and much evidence was taken from parties interested in the trade.At some of the ¦ meetings, the testimony was given in Mr.Plimsoll\u2019s presence.The evidence thus elicited will be laid before Parliament very shortly.His .Excellency expresses his satisfaction at learning that our shipping is free from reproach, so far as the carriage of cattle is concerned.Still, he calls the attention of Parliament to a measure which will remove all reasonable apprehension of abuses, arising in future, in connection with so important a branch of commerce as the one under eonsideration.The early coming into force of the Imperial Statute relating to the Vice-Admiralty Courts of the Empire, has rendered it necessary to revise'the laws in force in Canada, respecting our Court* of Maritime Jurisdiction, and a measure will, therefore, be laid before the House designed to reorganize* those tribunals.A code of criminal law has also been prepared, in order that that department of our jurisprudence may be simplified and improved.A measure relating to the foreshores of the Dominion, and to the obstruction of its navigable waters, is promised.Parliament will also be asked to consider amendments to the Acts relating to the North-West Territories, to the Exchequer Court Act, and to the Acts relating to the trademarks of the country.Here is an item which will interest our people very much.His Excellency says \u201cthe accounts for the past year will be submitted.The revenue, after providing for the services to which Parliament appropriated it, has left a surplus for the works designed to be carried on by capital e*r penditurc.\u201d It is a matter for regret that the Government has failed to promise a reduction in the postal tariff.In that respect Canada is very far behind other members of the postal union.nonunion Parliament.Notes and News.FIRST SESSION\u2014SEVENTH PARLIAMENT.The Late Captain Maekar.Most kindly letters have been received from the War Office by the friends of the late Captain Huutly B.Mackay, one of them enclosing a letter from the Secretary of the Imperial British East Africa Company to the War Office, Captain Mackay having been, os it were, lent to the service of that Company.All these letters speak in singularly high terms of praise of Captain Mackay\u2019s reputation forait the higher qualities which augur a successful career, and especially for his remakable determination of character which enabled him to carry through affairs committed to his charge in the face of oh-staclcs before which ordinary men would have given way.An instance of this was in his persistent canning forward of the fortification works at Sierra Leone.Even after lie had been forced to leave that coast for a time, having been smitten by the deadly West African fever, he returned in spite of the imprudence of the act and saw the works to their completion, taking part also in some most daring enterprises in the interior.It is carefully specified in all letters that it was this West African fever, and not any evil contracted on the Eastern coast, to which Captain Mackay finally succumbed.His death occurred on the very evo of a promotion to one of the greatest positions in the British Colonial service.He was already, in the absence of Sir Francis DeVVinton, who had resigned, acting Administrator of the British East Africa Company\u2019s Territories, extending from Zanzibar to Uganda on Lake Albert Nyanza, and his official appointment to the Administratorship in succeuion to Sir Francis was actually on the way to him.Ho would probably have had a larger and more responsible position than any other man of his age in the British Colonial service.His ancestors on

1885 has any session of Parliament been opened in the presence of so large ami bril liant an assemblage of people os to-day.Early in the afternoon the corridors of the Senate were crowded with ticket holders endeavouring to get admission to the galleries.As the hour approaehed, the large squares and even the grassy sward in front of the centre block was crowded with an immense concourse of people.The scene was one full of life and color.Precisely at three o\u2019clock the booming of cannon on Nepean Point announced the arrival of the Viceregal carriage.His Excellency drove rapidly up the avenue leading to the entrance to the centre block, escorted by the Princess Louise Dragoon Guards under command of Capt.Gourde»».A Guard of Honor from the Governor-General\u2019s Foot Guards received His Excellency with a Royal salute and the crowd cheered as Lord Stanley, in full uniform, accompanied by Col.Gzouski and Capt.Strealfeild, passed through the main entrance and on into the Senate Chamber, where His Excellency took Jiis seat upon the Viceregal chair.The scene in the Chamber was a brilliant one ; the galleries were crowded to excess with a curious multitude.About the throne, in the uniforms of their office, were Sir John Macdonald, Hon.Mr.Carling, Hon.Frank Smith, Sir Hector Laugevin, Col.Gzowski, General Herbert, Captain Streatfeild, Col.Panet, Col.Powell, Col.Macdonald and others, while the back seats on the floor of the House were filled with ladies in full dress.In the centre of the Chamber were seated the Clerks of the House and the Judges of the Supreme Court in scarlet and ermine, while Archbishop Duhamel and Vicar-General Routhier, dressed in robes of purple, occupied prominent seats.The Usher of the Black Rod was summoned to request the attendance of the Commons, which he did with all the dignity and ceremony usually attendant upon that duty.The Commons, headed by the Sergeant-at-Arms with the mace and Speaker White, filed in behind in the bar, when His Excellency read the Speech from the Throne, which was as follows :\u2014 Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate : Gentlemen of the House of Commons : I am glad to welcome you to the duties of the first session of a new Parliament, which 1 hope will be memorable for wise deliberations and for measures adopted to the progress and development of the Dominion.The season in which you are assembled has opened auspiciously for the industries of our people.Let us hope that their labors may be crowned with fruitful returns from land and sea and that the great resources of Canada may continue to reward the toil and enterprise of its inhabitants.My advisers, availing themselves of opportunities which were presented in the closing months of last year, caused the Administration of the United States to be reminded of the willingness of the Government of Canada to join in making efforts for the extension and development of the trade between the Republic and the Dominion, os well as for tho friendly adjustment of those matters of an international character which remain unsettled.I am pleased to suv that these representations have resulted in an assurance that in October next the Government of the United States will be prepared to enter on a conference to consider tho best means of ar riving at a practical solution of these itn portant questions.The papers relating to this subject will be laid before you.Under these circumstances and in the hope that the proposed conference may result in arrangements beneficial to both countries, yon will he called npon to consider the expediency of extending for the present season the princi pal provisions of the protocol annexed to the Washington treaty of 1888, known as the modus mvendi.A disposition having been manifested in the United Kingdom to impose on sea going ships engaged in the cattle trade in creased safeguards for life and greater restrictions against improper treatment, a careful enquiry has been made us to tl;e incidents of that trade in so far as this country is concerned.The evidence elicited on this enquiry will be laid before you.While I am glad to learn that our shipping is free from reproach in that regard, your attention will be invited to a measure which will remove all reasonable apprehensions of abuses arising in the future in connection with so important a branch of our commerce.The early coming into force of the Imperial statute relating to the Vice-Admiralty Courts of the Empire, has made it necessary to revise the laws in force in Canada respecting our Courts of maritime jurisdiction and a measure will, therefore, be laid before you designed to reorganize those tribunals.A code of the criminal law has been pre pared in order that that branch of our jurisprudence may be simplified and improved, to which yonr best attention is invited.Measures relating to the foreshores of the Dominion and the obstruction of its navigable watnrg will be submitted to you, and you will also be osked to consider amendments to the Acts relating to the North-West Territories, to the Exchequer Court Act and to the Acts relating to trade marks.Gentlemen of the House of Commons : The accounts for the past yéar will be snbmittcd to you.The revenue, after pro viding for the services to which you appro priat$d it, has left a surplus for the works which you designed to be carried on by capital expenditure.The estimates for the coming year will be laid betore you at an early date.Honordbli Gentlemen of the Senate : Gentlemen of the House of Commons : I pray that in the consideration of these matters and in the performance of all the labors which will devolve on you, your deliberations may be divinely aided and that yonr wisdom and patriotism may enlarge the prosperity of the Dominion and promote in every way the well being of its people.After reading the Speech in French and English, His Excellency left the Chamber accompanied by his staff and the impressive ceremony of opening Parliament was ended.On the return of the Commons to their own Chamber, the Speaker announced that he had received from Chief Justice Armour a certificate, dated November last, confirming the memlicr for Halton, Mr.Waldie, in his seat.This was a curious incident, as since that time Mr.Waldie has been defeated at the polls by the present member elect, Mr.Henderson.Un the motio» of Sir .John Macdonald, seconded by Sir Hector J^angevin, it was agreed to begin the debate on the Address in reply to the Speech from the Throne tomorrow.\t/ ^ The usnal motion appointing the Standing Committee of the House was passed.On motion for adjournment, Hon.Mr.Laurier called attention to the fact that the Returning Officer for the County of Chicoutimi had not forwarded his return of the election writ to the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery, and os a result the member-elect was deprived of his seat in the House.Sir John Macdonald stated that the return had been telegraphed for and he believed was now on the way.He did not know the reason of the delay.The Newfoundland Question.I\u2019rrMonnl Intrlllirenrr.Judge Cimon has arrived in town.Messrs.Chenevert,

people.If a boy undertakes to learn to swim we arrest him and fine 1dm.If he gets drowned by reason of his being un able to swim we are very sorry.The moral appears to be that public swimming baths ought to be provided.\u201d Thr Imperial Inatllutr.Tho Queen has issued a warrant, confirming the constitution of the Imperial Institute.The Prince of Wales is president and there are eighteen governors, twelve chosen by the Queen and six by the president, besides the following ex-officio governors : The Archbishop of Canterbury,the Lord High Chancellor, the Speaker of the House of Commons, the chairman of tho County Council, the Lord Mayor of Loudon, tho Lord Mayor of Dublin, the Provost of Edinburgh, the Governor of the Bank of England ami representatives of the colonics, chambers of commerce, etc.Mrholaatle Chanur* Mpnken Of.It is commonly rumored that Mr.George Parmalce, Professor of English and Classics in the Normal School, is to be the next Secretary of the Protestant Branch of the Board of Public Instruction at Quebec, the position made vacant by the resignation of Air.Rex-ford, the new head-master of the High School.Dr.Kneeland, head master of the Panet street school, is spoken of os a likely man to fill Mr.Parmalee\u2019s position.The School Commissioners, it is understood, are about to amalgamate the Preparatory High School with the High School.The former has always been looked upon asa kind of \"feeder1 to the High School, and is under the charge of Mr.Shewan, who some time ago succeeded Dr.Robbins.In the event of this change being made, Mr.Shewan will either become connected with the High School or will be transferred to the headmastership of some of the common schools.\u2014Montreal Star.In Ike English «Tubs.Men who are well informed in club matters in England say that it is very seldom that any blackballing is done there.A man who proposes his friend for election feels respon sible for him, and if he finds out that his elec tion is impossible the name is quietly withdrawn and nothing is ever said about it.Tho duty of a club committee is simply to be care fid that no man is admitted to the organization whose membership would be undesirable The club is not to be used as a means for hit ting undesirable candidates over the head, and as a medium for disgracing them to the extent that blackballing is a disgrace.The committee of an English club, it is stated, notify a man who has proposed someliody for membership, if the nomination be criucised and there is any possibility that unfavourable action will be taken, and in this way candidates are spared all unnecessary embar rasament and the dignity and conservative character of the elub is maintained\u2014 World.FRENCH INCITING COLONISTS TO REBELLION.Sr.Jouns, Nfld.,April 30\u2014Information bos been received from St.Pierre that the bait schooners which escaped from the Government cruisers at Fortune Ray, are returning with the men incited to rebellion by the French, who have supplied arms and ammunition ana liquor.The Government has despatched another steamer with a force under com-mand of Col.Fawcett, and tho warship t encan has been ordered from Bay St.George to Fortune Bay.The opinion here is that if French intrigue and aggression arenot stopped by Great Britain, much trouble will follow.Holloicai/s Ointment and Pitts.\u2014Self-Help.\u2014 Prior to the discovery ©f theoe remedies, an easy, ready and reliable remedy for outward disfigurations and inward complications was, practically speaking, unknown.No one need now oe at a loss if they should unfortunately suffer from piles, ulcers, sores, tumours, boils, bruises, sprains, ftc.Enveloping Holloway\u2019s medicines are very intelligible printed directions for using them, which should be

concerning the Nelson monument.The foundation stone was laid où tho 17th August, 1809.In the first cut-stone in the east corner of the base a plate of lead was deposited bearing the following inscription : \"In memory of the Right Honorable Admiral Lord Viscount Nelson, Duke of Brouté, who terminated his career of naval glory in the memorable liattle of Trafalgar, on the 21st of October,* 1805, this monumental pillar was erected l>y a subscription of the inhabitants of Montreal, whereof the Honorable Sir John Johnston, knight and baronet ; the Honorable James Monk, Chief Justice of Montreal ; John Richardson, John Ogilvie and Louia Chaboillez, Esquires, were a com-mitteo appointed fcf carrying it into execution, ami U;u same was erected under the direction of WilltamOilmoFe, stonecutter and mason, from designs obtained from-Mit- chell, an architect in London, 17th August, 1809.\u201d As the statue lay in the manufactory in London a sailor who served under his Lord-sliip found bis way in, and, struck with the likeness of the figure, embraced it with great enthusiasm, sending forth ejaculations expressive of the love he had for his gallant commander.Turning around he exclaimed, \"This is really a good figure of the noble Admiral.I hope it is made of good stuff, and will be as lasting as the world.\u201d \"I have nothing to fear on that score,\u201d replied the artist, \"for his Lordship has been in a hot fire for a week without intermission.\u201d \"Oh, master !\" said the tar, \u201cI find you know something of tho character of Lord Nelson, for there never was a British officer that could stand fire better than he.\" Tho eight pieces of cannon to support the iron chain which was originally placed around the whole, were furnished by Sir Gordon Drummond, then Commander of the British forces in Canada.The expense of this monument when completed was nearly £1,300, of which the mason work amounted to £523 ; the ornamental parts £408 12s ; the designs,

Elections Act.\u201d Mr.Barron will ask for an order of the House showing the quantities and kinds of timber, saw logs cut annually on the lately disputed territory in the Province of Ontario, umier authority of timber licenses issued by the Government of Canada, the names of such licensees and also a statement of how the dues were imposed and the amount per thousand feet realized by the Government from each person or persons or firm so licensed in each year from 187.r> to 1887 inclusive, and what royalty or other revenue was required by tho Government from licensees of thesamc on such quantities as were cut and sold.Mr.Ainyot wants to know why the receipt of the return of the writ of the election in Bellechassc was not gazetted till the 11th April, and if the delay was duo to the fact that the returning officer did not transmit the return sooner, what reason he gives and in how many elections in that county has the said Salem Forgues been returning officer?He will also ask if it is the intention of tho Government at the present session to introduce a measure to render the time within which elections may be contra verted uniform, ami to deprive returning officers of the power to delay at pleasure the return of tho writs by neglecting to make returns to the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery ?Mr.Barron is after Mr.Robillard\u2019s scalp.It seems the senior member for Ottawa purchased a timber limit from the Government in the disputed territory between Manitoba and the Province of Ontario some time ago.Mr.Barron gives notice that he will ask for a copy of the returns furnished to the Government of how mueh has been cut off this limit, which is on Indian Reserve No.6, since the sale of the limit to Robillard, what amount is now due the Government in dues and whether all dues have been paid to the Government?Mr.Taylor will introduce a bill intituled \"An Act to prohibit the importation and emigration of foreigners under contracts or agreements to

ask for copies of the contract with the owner or owners or the party in possession of the steamer \"Admiral,\u201d made by the Govern ment in consequence of an order in council bearing dale 10th May, 1888 ; also, contracts, deeds or transfers which have liccn executed or have 'como under the knowledge of the Govern ment since that date; also, a statement of the sums paid for the use of said

a final judicial opinion as to the constitutionality of the Act of the Maui toha Legislature passed in 1890 relating to public schools ?The Liberals sat in caucus this morning for over two hours, when the whips were ap pointed.Mr.Trow was again chosen as chief, also Messrs.Sutherland, Brodeur Carroll and Rinfret.At the Government caucus Sir John Mac donald presided.He spoke for fifteen min utes and received a warm reception, as did the other speakers.Tho presence of Mr.L.Z.Joncas, M.P., who was popularly supposed to be on the fence, thus disposed of all reports regarding his intentions this session.Sir John was very happy.He congratulated his followers on the gallant fight made during the campaign and said tho Conservatives now assembled at Ottawa with the same strength they possessed after the elections in 1887 He felt certain that the prospects of increas lug the majority were exceptionally bright.\\Vhile the Premier did not touch on > the feneral policy of tho Government, he urged is followers to express their opinions verv plainly on the questions of the day.With this object in view caucuses would be held frequently, when members would be afforded an opportunity of ventilating ' their views.The following were elected whips :\u2014Messrs Taylor, (chief whip), Prior, Daly McKay Corby, Bergeron, Frechette, Pope, Mac donald, (Cape Breton), and Josiah Wood (Westmoreland.) The report that Hon.Mr.Abbott would succeed Mr.Colby as President of the Privy Council has created a strong feeling amongst the Conservative members from the Eastern Townships.They are, it seems, strong sup porters of the claims of Mr.W.R.Ives M.P., Sherbrooke.Mr.Rufus Pope, M.P.is known to have very strong views on the subject and he has not hesitated to ventilate them very freely.Nearly all the Eastern Townships men met to-night and after djecussion decided to wait on Sir Johpforthe purpose of inducing him to change ids plans.Mr.Beausoleil says he is prepared to abandon his intention of bringim?up the Manitoba dual language ami separate school, questions in the House, now that Hon.Mr.Lariviere has taken the initiative.He will press his resolution unless the Manitoba member drafts a motion censuring the Dominion Govern ment for disallowing both measures.On Tuesday, Mr.A.T.Lepine, M.P., Montreal, says he will urge the Government to look after the interests of labor.He has received

occupied by W.C.Scott, Esq., the President of the Association and there were also on the stage a number of the city pastors, the officers of the Association and a large nunibor of theyoung men who formed a male choir to lead the singing.The opening exercises were con ducted by the Rev.Professor Macadam, after which the President gave a brief opening address.The General Secretary spoke of the work being carried on and the use lieing made of the building which the generosity of the Quebec citizens bad erected for the use of young men.The Rev.A.T.Dykeman, next spoke on the Association work from a pastor's standpoint, He urged the importance of de finite work being done on behalf of young men in view of the special temptations which beset them, and bespoke for the Quebec Asso dation, the hearty financial support of all citizens who were interested in the moral welfare of young men.The Rev.Win.Mcikle, B.A., tho Evangel ist, who has been comlucting special services in the city for the past few weeks, also gave a most interesting and stirring address on the Association work, he translated the letters Y.M.O.A.os \"You must concentrate all,\u201d and speaking to thp young men, urged that they concentrate all their united efforts on the upliftingnfthcmselvesand their fellowsasfaras it lay in their power.Speaking to tho citizens of Quebec, he urged that they give the Association hearty and substantial support.Referring to the $900 required by the Associa tion for this year\u2019s work (over and above the revenue), be stated that the Association should get double that amount, in order to be enabled to carry on the social and other work of the Association in an efficient manner.He hoped he would hear shortly from the Secre.tary that all the money needed to carry on the work for the present year was subscribed.Then the speaker referred earnestly to the spiritual side of the work, and emphasized the importance of keeping this to the front.Mr.Meikle closed his address by singing in a touching manner the song \" Throw ont the Life-line.\u201d We should not overlook special mention, however, of Mr.Meikle\u2019s earnest pleading witli young men against the sins of intemperance, impurity and infidelity, and of his plea for making the furnishings and comforts of the Y.M.C.A.rooms more attractive than the moat richly furnished of the devil's places for young men.His references to the fact that the prisons^uid penitentiaries were principally filled with young men and that most of tho condemned murderers in Cadada came from the same oloss, were quite startling in their application both to the young and to those who worked amongst them, but ho admitted that the evil of infidelity had not fortunately, as yet, taken much hold in Canada.The male choir sang heartily \" The Banner of the Cross,\u201d and the hymns whiqh had been selected for the occasion, Mr.Budden, jnr., organist of St.Andrew\u2019s Church, officiating at the organ.The meeting was closed with prayer by Rev.A.T.Love.Mr.Meikle will speak to-night for the Salvation Army, in their barracks, and this will be his last appearance in Quebec.The Massacre at Manipur.BODIES OF THE VICTIMS RECOVERED.Si mi.a, April 30\u2014The British columns have met and entered Manipur, which they found to lie totally deserted.The magazine hud exploded and ihe palace had been wrecked and stripped of everything of value.A ghastly sight was witnessed in an enclosure, where the heads of Commissioner Quinton and others of tho English party were found.The Rajah, Senaputty, princes and inhabitants had fled north-east by the only road of escape shortly before the arrival of the British, Saturday\u2019s engagement being the final struggle.Manipitr, April 30\u2014The Maharajah and the Manipuris chiefs who supnort him are still in the jungle.A mounted detachment of troops has been despatched in pursuit.Shortly after the British troops entered Manipur the bodies of Chief Commissioner Quinton, Political Agent G rim wood, and those of the other members of tho Commissioner\u2019s staff who were killed, were exhumed and now lie in state, pending an imposing military funeral service, which will take place on Monday next.A commission of army officers has been formed to inquire into the causes which led to the rebellion and the massacre of the British officers.There is great scarcity of nrovisions in and about Manipur, the inhabitants having fled with1 the Maharajah.However, many of thé Manipuris are now reassured by the fact that those who remained here have not been shot, os it was expected they would lie, and some of them arc leaving their hiding places and returning.Married By Typewriter.Marion, Ind., April 28\u2014Albert Barney and Jennie Karns, deaf-mutes, were married at
