Counterpoised by Success.The Greek Premier Sanguine The End of the War in Sight-The Rout of the Greeks at Larissa \u2014King George Will Go to the Front\u2014Colonial Councillors as Honorables\u2014Press Comments ba the Canadian Tariff\u2014The Wesleyan Methodist Church.London, April 26\u2014The 7imes to-day publishes a despatch from Athens, dated Saturday night, giving an account of an interview between the Timex\u2019 correspondent there and the Greek Premier, M.Delyannia.The latter Is quoted as saying that neither the King nor the Government had received any information that day from the Greek army in Thessaly, beyond the announcement that the Greek force# had been successfully concentrated at Pharsalos, to which place they had retreated in good order, saving all their artillery except the siege gnns, which they had been forced to abandon.Pharsalos is a place of considerable strength and the advisability of occupying it in case of retreat had long been under consideration hy the Government.M.Delynnis said there was much needless alarm regarding the safety of Volo, adding that there was no reason to fear that the Turks would attempt to occopy it.The successes of the Greek troops in Epirns, M.Delyannia pointed out, were a counterpoise to the reverses in Thessaly, and according to unofficial information the Greeks expected to arrive at Janinaon Saturday night.The Premier was convinced that Athens would remain quiet, asserted that the people had compte e confidence in the King and the Government4 Interviews with the Ministers of Marine and War were also obtained by the Timex correspondent.The former stated that 1 \u2022 has not received confirmation of the rum* r that Dodoagatish had been bombarded by the Greek fleet.After the destruction of Platamona and Katerina, the Minister of Marine added, the Eastern squadron had been expected to find and engage the Tuik-ish fleet and the present location of the rquadron was not known.The Minister of Marine did not think it necessary for the Greek warships to return to protect Volo.The Minister of War, the Timex\u2019 correspondent reports, said on Saturday that there were 30,000 Greek troops concentrated at Pharsalos, and that every tfforl was being made te reinforce them.Two thousand five hundred gend\u2019armes and engineers were then leaving Athens for Volo.THE

have been summoned to his bedside, ANOTHER GRANDDAUGHTER FOR THE QUEEN.Her Royal Highness the Duchess of York was safely delivered of a daughter at York Cottage, Sandringham, at half-past three Sunday afternoon.Mother and child both well.PRESS COMMENTS ON THE CANA-DIAN TARIFF.The papers continue to comment on the Canadian tariff.The Daily Xeivx is of the opinion that Minister Fielding is under a complete delusion if he really supposes that preferential duties to benefit the Colonies will be adopted here.Shippers and exporters in London express much satisfaction with the oew Canadian tariff, anticipating a large lot crease with the Dominion.The Timfti says editorially to-day :\u2014\u201cThe presentation of the Canadian tariff i* beyond doubt the most remarkable step yet taken towards fiscal federation with the British Empire.^ We much regret to see the attitude Mr.Foster has taken toward it.\u201d COLONIAL COUNCILLORS AS HONORABLES.The Queen\u2019s approval is obtained to the proposal that members of the Legislative Councils in certain Colonies possessing responsible government may, on relireinent or resignation after a continuous service in such Councils of not less than ten years, be eligible to be recommended by the Governors of such Colonies for Her Majesty\u2019s permission to retain the title of \u201cHonorable.\u201d THE WESLEYAN METHODISTCHURCH The long vexed question of reforming the itinerary system of the Wesleyaa Methodist Church at last approaches a settlement.The General Conference recommends the change to the District Conferences and these will vote on it next month.Oddly enough the alteration will necessitate an Act of Parliament, since by the eleventh clause of Wesley\u2019s deed, a three-year limit is imposed upon all pastorates of what are called connexionally settled chapels, which to this day embrace nearly the whole denomination.There is no doubt, of course, that Parliament will grant the relief, if it is shown that Methodists desire jt, but it is difficult to say as yet whether Love in the Scale.\u201c How much does the baby weigh \u201d is only another way of asking, \u201c Is be healthy and strong?'\u2019 When a bany is welcomed into the world with loving care and forethought, his chances of health anq strength are increased * hnn dred-fold.\t\u2022' A prospective mother cannot begin too early to look after her own health and physical condition.This is sure to be reflected in the baby.Any weakness or nervous depression, or lack of vigor on the mother\u2019s part should be overcome early during the expectant time by the use of Dr.Pierce\u2019s Favorite Prescription, which promotes the perfect health and strength of the organism specially concerned In mothcYhood.\tJ It makes the comifig of baby absolutely, safe and comparatively free ftom pain; ren-\u2019 ders the mother strong and cheerful, and transmits healthy constitutional vigor to the child.\t| No other medicine in the world has bee such an unqualified

END OF THE WAR IN SIGHT.London, April 26\u2014What seems likely to be the lasr, week of the war is entered upon to-day.It is difficult, from the tangle of conflicting telegrams, to understand the position of affairs.From the Greek defeat at Larissa, London opinion to-day U almost unanimous that the end is in sight and this view is probably shared by the Powers, as they are already moving to intervene.It is believed that intervention will first take the form of a suggestion of armistice, to which the combataois would no doubt agree.Since yesterday afternoon the,British Foreign Office has been in close communication with the other members of the European concert, Great Britain suggesting that the time has now arrived for them to act.The French, the German and the Italian Governments have already responded, offering to agree, though the German Government adds as a condition that it will be necessary first to exact a pledge from Greece to obey the mandate of Europe when this mandate is again given.The British Foreign Office believes that Greece will give this undertaking, as the disasters which have overtaken her have demonstrated that Turkey has a formidable fighting machine, which must have a sobering effect upon the popular demand for war at Athens and which will permit the Greek nation to climb down without disgrace, after a superb vindication of the personal courage of the Greek troops and a gratifying demonstration of Hellenic patriotism.If the Greeks listen to reason and argument, which will be pressed by England at Athens and by Russia at Constantinople, it is not improbable that a decision will be reached by Tuesday, before which it is not supposed here that Edhem Pasha or Otman Pasha will have time to do more than to appear at Pharsalos.THE ROUT OF THE GREEKS AT LARISSA.The/Vri\u2019s Athens correspondent says: \u2014 \u201cA terrible panic took place Friday night during the retreat, which became a miserable rout, the Turkish cavalry using rifles, bayonets and revolvers indiscriminately.The correspondents of the London Times and the Reuteur Telegraph Company were nearly killed.Other correspondents lost their sketches and their baggage.\u201d The correspondent adds : \u201cThe gravity of the situation is not appreciated here.\u201d The Daily Graphic has a despatch from Larissa, saying that Gen.Macris, the virtnal commander in chief of the Greek forces, haa resigned and waa succeeded by Gen.Mavromichaelia.The correspondent of the Daily ATeiosat Vienna says that in his first telegram to King George yesterday, the Crown Prince Constantine said:\u2014\u201cWe withdrew in perfect order.Telegraph instructions.\u201d King George replied : \u201cIf possible defend Larissa.Do your duty.If not possible to defend, then obey necessity.\u201d The Crown Prince divided the army into three divisions for the retreat and rode at the head of one.The Standard?* correspondent at Milouna says the Turks captnred large stores of provisions aud ammunition at Tyronavo.KING GEORGE WILL GO TO THE FRONT.London, April 26\u2014The Daily Chronicle\u2019s Athens correspondent says : King George means to go to the front and to make a decided stand at Pharsalos, which was the line of defence advised by Gen.Vossur and some members of his staff from the very beginning.The spirits of the Athenians are rallying from the shock they experienced on receipt of the news of the retreat of the Greek army from Larissa to Pharsalos and the talk of perseerving with the war is more geperal.The newspaper comments are, as a rule, more hopeful and people are beginning to recognize that the situation is not as critical as at first supposed.A detachment of two hundred and fifty Garibaldians has left this city for Epirus, but Ricotti Garibaldi remo.ins here to organize the Italian volunteers, who are constantly arriving.Col.Manos, the commander of the Greek troops operating against the Turks in Epirus, is preparing to leave Arta and resume the march upon Janina.KAISER WILHELM ON THE PEACE QUESTION.Emperor William arrived at Carlsruhe today.He was received by the Burgomaster and the other officials of the town and cheered by the crowds of people who filled the streets.In replying to an address of welcome by the Burgomaster the Emperor sud :\u2014\u201cI can assure you that peace will be maintained?not only for Germany, but for the whole of Europe.The best basis for the maintenance of peace is a strong army and a strong navy.I hope that the German people will support my tffurts to preserve these means for the maintenance of peace,\u201d OSMAN PASHA\u2019S PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.l\u2019AKtâ, April 26 - A despatch from Constantinople says that the plan of Orman Pasha, the newly appointed Turkish Commander-in-Chief of the whole army, is (0 recall the w hole of the forces in Epirus, only leaving a strong garrison at Janina, and to abandon the rest of the province.The army in Epirus will then join the army of the East, which is under the command of Edhem Pasha.DR.PETERS DISMISSED FROM THE GERMAN SERVICE.RsaUN, April 26\u2014The indictment of Dr.Peters, the German African Commissioner, whose trial on charges of ill-treating African natives has just been concluded iu private before the Disciplinary Couit for German Protectorates, charge him, firstly, with arbitrarily hanging a negro boy in 1881 and with hanging a girl in 1892 ; secondly, with unjustly making war upon Chief Malali in November, 1891, and thirdly with furnishing incorrect reports to the superior authorities.Dr.Peters protested that he was not guilty and affirmed that he believed he had the power of life or death over all the blacks ou the etatien except those who were members of the German colonial forces.He admitted having undertaken extensive campaigns against his instructions, but he contended that the situation was then dangerous, as an attack on the part of the Wortongoa waa feared and he claimed he waa obliged to inflict the death penalty in order to save German prestige when the station house was broken into, because he had previously announced that the penalty of death would be the punishment for so doing, the question of sex being quite subordinate.Dr.Peters admit ted that he bad flogged three Degreases, but he denied that he had executed his concubine for adultery, explaining that she was hanged for conspiracy with a native chief against the expedition.Lieutenants Pach-mann and J&nuke testified in support of Dr.Peters.Dr.Peters was sentenced to-day to dismissal from the Imperial service and to pay the coats of the trial.CROWN PRINCE CONSTANTINE RECALLED.Athens, April 26\u2014A Royal decree has just been issued recalling Crown Prince Constantine from command of the Greeks in Thessaly, with his entire staff.THE COMMAND OF THE GREEK FORCES.The Ministers went to the Palace to-day and demanded an immediate change in the command of the forces.No ollicial account has been received of the losses at Mali, hut it is learned from trustworthy sources that a very large majority of the officers in ihe foremost line of defence were either killed or wounded.All kinds of rumors and accusa lions are current against King George and the Royal Family, whose position is to the highest degree unenviable.' CRITICAL SITUATION AT JANINA.Constantinople, April 26\u2014The Consuls at Janina telegraphed the Foreign Ambassadors here lust Friday that the Albanian battalions had mutinied and were refusing to march as well as threatening to attack the town.The Mussulman poplulution, according to these advices, has quitted Janina ni masse, some fleeing into the country and others taking refuge in the

Friday, April 16, and afterwards made his escape, shot himself here yesterday.The man came to Edward Church's place three days ago and asked for work.He stuck closely to the place, never venturing down town, and was seen by very few, hence the failure to identify him with the description of Dittman that had been scattered by the detective department.Yesterday afternoon the family left home to visit relatives.Upon their return they were horrified when they encountered the dead body lying on its back.the initiative of the choice of a candidate to the interested electors.Now, Mr.Editor, we would ask who are the electors who.according to the English Liberal organ, have selected Mr.Barden î V as a regular convention called ?Who were a*, it?Has Quebec West fallen so low that a dictator can supple nt the voters and deprive them of their say in such an important matter?\u201cShadows\u201d can assure Mr.Barden and his chameleon chief that but a rare few of the 761 electors who lately signed a requisition will be found ready to support his candidature, knowing that it is through their intrigue that they have been deprived of a candidate who was their unanimous choice and who would have carried the division hands down.\u201cShadows\u201d will close his first communication by denying that the candidature was ever offered by Hon.Mr.Laurier for the Federal House to Mr.Barden and we will ask Mr.Birdeu for an explanation and denial if he can of a proposed interview he was to have had with the Hon.Mr Laurier, as arranged by Mr.Fi.zpatriels, and which interview never came off.Preparations are now being completed for a convention representing all elements of Quebec West to make the choice of a Liberal candidate.Yours truly, Shadows.Quebec, April 26th, 1897.THE TALK OF

Morning Chronicle.) Sir,\u2014Arrangement ought to be made by the Deputy Adjutant-General and officers of the district with His Worship the Mayor|and citizens to have the different Binds play on the Terrace three times a week.It can be done to great advantage to all if those in authorily)would bestir themselves.Yours, etc., Citizen.Quebec, 26th April, 1897.( To the Editor of the\tChronicle.) Sir,\u2014Through what appears to be the Liberal organs of this city, Mr.Barden would appear to have been selected as 'he Liberal candidate for Quebec West.The truth of the matter is that Hon.Mr.Fitzpatrick is to be his political godfather and with two other personages of lesser light selected this gentleman on Saturday morning.We are somewhat surprised that this constellation chameleon has tak.en upon himself to impose upon tl^ts important electoral division a candidate whom lb?, electors, as the future will show, will reiuse to accept on account of hia previous political allegiance to the late Government in its palmiest days.We regret very much to see, according to the translation of the chief Liberal organ, that Mr.Barden is to be hçtqtpod in by narrow prejudices Inasmuch as the appeal is mode «Hq the Irish and French Liberals only,\u201d to elect him, leaving out the English-speaking Piote*t ant element who have no choice in the matter and are apparently to be treated oe foteigners, which to our mind is not tha principle of the great leader.Hon.F.Q.Marchand.\u201cShadow#1, will try to enlighten the publie of Quebec with the corresponde»!ou and tedegrams now in the possession of an ex pensioned culler a little later on, \u201cShadows\u201d w ill also ask vybo were the two Irish Catholic Sntlemeu who represented to Mr.Laurierthat ere was no gentleman of that faith fit to renresent them in the House of Commons, The English Liberal organ truthfully says that Mr.Barden \u2018\u2022\u2019tnayv be looked upon as the Liberal candidate, showing that there is a Îreat ijoubt that he really is the candidate, he cause of this is to be traced to the fact that the gentlemen having charge of his requisitions have had the very unpleasant experience of being refused numerous signatures to the same.\u201cShadows\" would ask, when Mr, Barden polled his first Liberal veto, the date he first signed a Liberal requisition paper, and finally if he could point out where a record is on file showing his signature for a Liberal nomination paper?Letters are already in possession of well-known Liberals in the city of Quebec from the Hon.Mr.Marchand, stating it has &lw»ye been hit invariable practice to leave In McClure\u2019s Magazine for May General Carl Schurz wier*onntl of tha Turkish navy is six Vice-Admirals, eleven Rear Admirals, 208 Captains, 289 Commanders, 228 Lieutenants, 187 Ensigns, 30,000 sailors and about 9,000 marines.The Grecian navy comprises 103 vessels ot all classes, or about half as many as are under the command of the Sultan.The Grecian vessels are of later design than those of Turkey, and, while smaller and less numerous King George\u2019s fleet is so much superior to the Sultan\u2019s that the ships would make a good showing on the seas.Gretk officers and sailors are of good physique, and areconstantly kept under strict discipline.This cannot be said of the Sultan\u2019s naval force.A prominent naval officer, in disenssing the posrioUity of war between Turkey aod Greece, has said that a Greek captain in command of a vessel of about 4,000 tons would overcome a Turkish ship of 6.000 tone, even allowing the Sultan\u2019s vessel heavier guns and thicker armor.The conditions, he said, would be somewhat similar to those which prevailed in the war between China and Japan.The most powerful Grecian ships are the \u201cPsara,\u201d built in 1890; the \u201cSpetsai,\u201d built in 1889, and the \u201cHydra,\u201d built in 1889.They are in good condition and are now in commission.The personnel of the Greek navy includes about 185 officers and cadets, 247 employes 587 petty officers, 1,700 sailo a, 503 stokers, or a total of about 3,200 men.The navy is manned partly by conscription from tha people of the sea coast and partly by enlist ment.HEALTH BRAND CANADIAN UNDERWEAR, .and- MORLEY\u2019S C Ej LE IB IR-A/TEID English Underwear !

both anchors on her bow.The obstruction to navigation would not lie visible at night, and, moreover, it lies directly in the track of vessels.The wreck passed by tue \u201cK1 Paso\u201d is the same derelict which is supposed to have caused the loss of the French passenger steamship \u201cVille de St Nazaire,\u201d and a number of valuable lives a few weeks ago.The most urgent appeals have long been made to the Government) to move such derelicts off our coasts.No better use can be found for United States warships in time of Mace than to clear the approaches to our chief seaports of such dangerous obstructions.The career of the \u201cH J Cottrell\u201d should be brought to an immediate end.But it is not likely that this will be done unless the Washington Government despatches a naval vessel to destroy the wreck.The cyclones off Hat teras, which destroy so many valuable vessels, have long spared this worthless hull, and now that the gsles have ceased till September the derelict

in fact, this applies to all classes of goods.Most of the principal merchants will be out of town till after Easter, and in consequence of next week being a b'ank as far as the auction sales are concerned, the holiday is likely to be considerably extended, and from a business point of view will spoil the month.Nothing is doing in the cargo trade from Quebec and other St Lawrence ports, the first-open-water stocks have all been sold, and dealers here are not taking readily to the offers still about for later delivery ; their policy is to wait and fee what turn things will take by and-by before committing themselves to further transactions.The Eastern tangle may have some influence on the freight market, but whatever direction it takes the Canadian timber trade will receive no benefit from the result.\u201d The People are Convinced When they read the testimonials of cures by Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla.They are written by honest men and women, and are plain, straightforward statements of fact.The people have confidence in Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla because they know it actually and permanently cures, even when other medicines fail.Hood\u2019s Pills are the only pills to take with Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla.Easy and yet efficient.Professor Sllvanus Thompson says that although Bavaria, measured by the number of its inhabitants, was only a little larger than London, yet it contained three universities, and supplied more than $500,000 a year for their support ;

that four first-class teams would he a better paying arrangement than live.They wanted the fourth team to come from Toronto.This disposed of the National and Quebec Clubs.They did not dare take in the Tccumsehe, however, so they decided to keep Toronto with them, on the distinct understanding that they either amalgamate with the Tecumsehs or provide themselves with a first-class team otherwise If they do not comply with this arrangement they will simply be forced out of the League, their dates being ignored, and one person on the inside says recourse will be had to un entirely new schedule, which has been quietly prepared fur a three-olob team to be used in case of accident.As part of proof of Toronto\u2019s earnest desire to please, it is stated that arrangements have already been made

general was strongly affected by Turkish successes reported over Sunday, and opened higher in almost every case, with the exception of Sugar.This stock was adversely affected on the announcement of the death of T A Have-meyer, Vice-President of the Co, and an opening of two point* lower wa* caused.It immediately became apparent, however, that insiders in Sugar were going to give the stock strong support, and there was a quick rally from 110$.the low point to above 112.The whole list closed strong with some good gains for the day.London was an element in the strength, and ail stocks in her market closed firm, with Americans favorably affected.It now looks as if the end of the war is not far off, at any rate on decisive battles are likely to be fought until the Turks can move forward and overtake the retreating Greeks.The present interim may furnish a good opportunity for the Powers to interfere and settle matters.The Greeks have taken possession of the strongest end most easily fortified point on the entire map.Phar-salas has for 20 centuries been a historic stronghold, and the Greeks have doubtless been wise in retreating there.Our stocks may advance a few points higher, although we believe much of to-day\u2019s bulge was caused by the hurried covering of shorts who prefer not to carry stocks over a holiday.The most pronounced gains for the day are 1$ in Leather and Omaha.1^ in St Paul, in Tobacco, 1$ in Missouri Pacific and L A N, 1 point in North-West, and 1$ each in New York Central and Jersey Central.Sugar is an exception to the list, but it makes a decline

well-known publisher of Toronto, is probably one of the beet pieces of Action yet done by its author, Professor Roberts, F.R.S.C., of New York, and formerly of King's College, Windsor, N.S.The plot ia strong, the charactere fascinating and well drawn, while the descriptive writing in the book and the dialogue have not been surpassed by any of he fiction of the past twelve months.The Bookman gives it very high praise declaring it to be \u201ca story to shake the torpor from the brain, and to keep the soul alive.It is chared with romance and works like wine.The Forge in the Forest\u2019 is destined to an enviable popularity.\u201d The New York /ndf-imident remarks of it : \u201cIt ia word painting that gives this book its stamp of diatinction.Mr.Roberts\u2019 skill as a tale-teller shows well in the handling of schemes which, if presented less cleverly, w-ouhl have been too savagely bloody for the tasieof refined readers.It can be read openly by the family firod le, and every page will have its charm.\u201d Additional interest is added to the romance by a number of well executed full-page illustrations by Alfred Sandham, the Canadian artist.Chlldpen\u2019s Entertainment.The Woman\u2019s Christian Temperance Union\u2019s entertainment, which was held at the Y.M.C.A.Hall last night, was quite a success.The audience was very large and even standing room could scarcely be obtained.The evening\u2019s entertainment opened with an address by Mr.L.C.Webster.In the children\u2019s marching song the little ones did remarkably well.The fourth item of the programme, in which sixteen girls took part, entitled \"\u2018Fairies of the Season\u2019s\u201d was very good.\u201cThe Milk Maids\u201d in the action song by seven girls was also much admired.The fourteen girls who took part in the fancy march and hoop drill are worthy of special notice, both the march ing and the drill being most creditably per formed.Quartermaster-Sergeant Wood, the Royal Canadian Artillery, who kindly instructed the young ladies, most have taken a great deal of pains with his class and is to be congratulated on the splendid exhibi tion which they gave.The song and chorus entitled \u201cThe Merry Youngsters,'\u2019 which was sung by eight little boys certainly added much to the merriment of the evening.The action song entitled \u201cThe Japanese Fau\u201d by five girls was very pretty, and was as grace fut as it was attractive.The eight little boys and all the young ladies who took part in the evening\u2019s entertainment did remarkably well.The solos in the songs were well rendered and especially the aolo in the \u201cCantata\" by Miss Jennie Vincent.Miss Lillie Kenney and Miss Ellen Stoyles in the \u201cAction Song\u201d and the \u201cMerry Youngsters\u201d delivered their choruses very creditably.Miss Tillie Salter was also most successful in her solos, which wouud up the programme.Thomas Sloul Died of Heart Disease The District

Dear Sir,\u2014The confusion which exists in the discussion of the money question arises from mistaking the gold and silver in coins for the legal obligations which are shown by the Government stamp on the metals.Law, not metal, makes money.For instance, some three hundred years ago, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, the English Government issued \u201cmixed money\u201d which had no appreciable commercial value, yet which was a full legal tender, and replaced, for the nonce, the gold and silver coin of the day.The acceptance of thU trash of money was obligatory all over the Kingdom.The power to prescribe what ia money in the payment of debts is but a corollary of the power to make laws for the enforcement of payment.I have shown how and when, in \u201cMerrie England,\u201d a worthless coin, in material, re placed the gold and silver of that country I will now make the statement that from 1797 to 1820 the most stringent paper money system that the world ever knew existed in England, and that system laid the foundation of the great nation\u2019s success.The Bank of England was obliged to issue an unprecedented amount of those notes, yhich were, not even technically, legal tender, except for the purpose of relieving from ai-rest and imprisonment for debt.The people were obliged to take those notes as almost all the specie in the land had been absorbed by the Bank of Eogland for the use of the Government then carrying on foreign war.Only since the year 1833 have the Bank of England notes been legal tender.Even in France, it has, at times, been found necessary to issue paper money.After the .\u2018.\u2018Assignat\u201d issue of 400 million francs, all subsequent issues bore no interest.It is indeed the settled law of all civilized nations that the sovereign authority of the Government can issue money which will pay all debts, both public and private, no coib is necessary.This power can even be exercised without the consent of the lender.Were I an American I would lavish nr ore affection on the little \u201cgreenback\u201d then I would on \u201cOld Glory\u201d and his forty-five eyes.Without fhe little \u2018.\u2018greenback,\u201d America could never baye secured enough men to carry her flag to victory in her last war.I cannot attempt to fallow your correspondent \u201cX.\u201d lie thinks any abolition of taxes \u201ca swindle on the country,\u201d \u201cX\u201d really need not get unduly alarmed, even if Mr, Fielding has listened to the cry of the widow and orphan and that of the back-woods habitant, and has taken a whole cent off coal oil !\t\u201cX\u201d has Mr.Fielding\u2019s word that he will nobly recoup the small oil spill by a duty on anthracite coal, very shortly ! Then even \u201cX \u2019 must become happy ! It is such a grand, far-fetched idea taxing a necessity that we do not produce ! \u201cX\u201d need not fear any chejip money from our distinguished free traders.\u201cFree trade,\u201d at present, means \u201cto pay I\u201d \u201cto be paying !\" \u201ctaxed both ways!\u201d etc., etc.Shades of Richard Cobden defend us !

Ottawa, April 26\u2014The most important announcement yet made in connection with the Budget was contained in the speech of Sir Richard Cartwright in the House to day.Those who looked carefully iuto the preferential duty resolutions contained in the tariff bill, could not fail to see that they invaded the rights of Great Britain\u2019s treaties to which Canada was a party.In issuing instructions to Canadian Customs officials on Thursday evening last to admit British goods into Canada under the minimam duties, the Government deliberately invaded the treaty rights of every nation which has the most favored nation clause in its treaty with Eng land.By Canada\u2019s action Great Britain is forced into the position of evading the rights granted under those treaties, breaking its in ternational treaty contracts, or compelled to disallow the Canadian tariff bill in so far as it concerns the preferential tariff duties.There is no escape from this position and those who enquired into the question won dered much at the boldness of the position assumed by the Government.There seemed no possible loophole to escape and the general belief has beut up at auction and shall be leased to any other applicant who will then and there comply with the said conditions.The Clerks of the divers Markets have been instructed by the Market Committee to lock up .n the lost day of April instar-, at 5 o\u2019clock I».M., the Stalls whicn will not be leased on the
