10\u2014Earl Kimberley, the Liberal leader in the House of Lords, tc-day asked whether Greece had announced her willingness to withdraw her troops from Crete and whether she had requested the Powers to mediate wilh Turkey.The Marquis of Salisbury in reply said that if he answered in the negative it would be strictly correct, yet such a reply might be misleading.The Greek Government, the Premier explained, had not asked for mediation, but members of the Government expressed a desire for mediation.The Greek Government as a whole, the Premier added, did not intend, to the best of his belief, to ask for mediation.Regarding Crete, the Premier said there is some inde-tiniteness in the present state of things.The Greek Government does not consider that it will be consistent with its position to promise an immediate and definite withdrawal of the Greek troops from Crete, but the Premier understood, though the Government had not any official information on the subject, that the Greek Government is prepared to say it will withdraw the Greek troops from Crete in the not very distant future.Continuing, the Marquis of Salisbury remarked :\u2014\u201c1 am sorry so say that as we stand at present, Ido not think this issuance is entirely satisfactory to all the Powers.However, I have only to answer for ourselves and our instructions have been to join in any procedure for the purpose of entering upon mediation which is acceptable to the others.In our view the main point is to arrest, so far as possible, the effusion of blood, and we are not very particular about the form.I regret exceedingly that the Gteek Government is more particular about the forms than the circumstances in the case justify.\u201d ANGLO TRANSVAAL RELATIONS.London, May 10\u2014A remarkable change in feeling about the Transvaal outlook began hero to-day after Sir Charles Milner\u2019s arrival at the Cape and continues to spread.Apparently the Boers have been impressed by the resolute military preparations made on such a big scale by Mr.Chamberlain.At all events President Kreuger and his peace party seem to have regained control now, and are willing to withdraw from all positions objectionable to England to make friends.Sir Charles Milner\u2019s cleverness in haying learned not only Dutch but Boer patoi*, neither of which he knew a word of three months ago, strikes a pleasant note in people\u2019s minds as an augury of his wise management all round.Even the city begins to say that now pre-: bably the whole trouble will be over.THE CHARITY BAZAAR IN PARI*.Paris, May 10 \u2014 Baroness Hirsch has sent the sum of £37,5CQ to the Management Committee of the Charity Bazaar in the Rue Jean Coujon, which was the scene of last week's terrible tragedy from fire.This amount, with the proceeds of the first day's sale, (£1,800).equals the full receipts of the bazaar of 1890, and the Committee is thus enabled to make distrib uions as before.PEACE MAY SOON BE EXPECTED.A semi-official communique was published this afternoon saying the impression prevails that the recent negotiations between Greece and Turkey will not be attended by great difficulties and will soon have a satisfactory issue.The Powers, it is further stated, had already agreed among themselves upon conditions of peace.Germany\u2019s hesitation was due to the fact that the Greek Government, in a circular to its representatives at the Courts of the Powers, did not formally adhere to Cretan autonomy as demanded by the Power».Greece subsequently gave the necessary assurances in this respect and the German Minister at Athens has been instructed to support the efforts of the Powers to conclude peace.EARTHQUAKE SHUCKS IN ITALY.Rome, May 10\u2014Slight undulatory shocks were felt here and at Rocha di Papa, Tivoli and Vellctri, as a result of the earthquake shocks yesterday, and lesser shocks followed during the course of the day, doing no damage.The earthquake appears to have been without special incident in Italy.SERIOUS DISORDERS IN SPAIN.Madrid, May 10\u2014Werious disorders have broken out in several places in connection with the municipal elections now in progress At Bilboa the Socialists have made a violent demonstration, and at Loneraa a Liberal voter has been killed.The Queen Regent has issued a decree authorizing the raising of £8,000,000 to be secured by the Customs duties of Spaiu to meet the cost of military operations in Cuba and the Phillippioe Islands.The Bank of Spain will undettake the issue.THE POWERS WILL MEDIATE.Athens, May 10\u2014The Government on Saturday informed the Ministers of the Powers verbally that following the recall 2.15 Lightning Express from the West.:For INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY.7.30\tMail to Campbell ton.7U5 Aocom.via Chaudière So

take place._ After a brief delay the Powers will offer to mediate between Greece and Turkey.The Powers will insist, however, that Greece shall confide her interests unreservedly to their hands.Negotiations have commenced and mediation is regarded as imminent.VOLO OCCUPIED BY THE TURKS.The Admiral in command of the Greek squadron at Volo telegraphed on Sunday, saying that the French and British Consuls at Volo, accompanied by the commanders of the French, Briiish and Italian warships, have had a conference with Edhem Pasha, the Turkish Commander.The latter promised to respect fho inhabitants and property at Volo, provided the Greek squadron agreed to refrain from hostilities and retire beyond range.The Greek Admiral accepted these terms.All the foreigners at Volo have embarked for other parts and the town is occupied by the Turks.As the result of the proclamation of Edhem Pasha promising to protect the inhabitants, and to u*e only one liattalion as the occupying force, on condition that the Greek fleet be withdrawn, the Greek Admiral has been ordered to leave forthwith.Volo has been occupied by a Turkish force of 0,000 men.THE UNION OF CRETE AND GREECE.The Telegraph Company is still working to Domosko and the latest from that point says that the Turks are half way between Pharsalos and Domosko and are believsd to be planning an attack on the latter place.The Turks do not molest the inhabitants of the villages they have occupied, but they have burned houses and plundered several churches at Pharsalos.In the course of an interview to-day, Col.Vassos said :\u2014\u201cThe union between Crete and Greece is now an actual fact and nothing is lacking hut the consent of Europe.The foreign Admirals recently asked my authority to advance their troops in Crete beyond the zone previously occupied.The Powers may do what they like The union of Crete and Greece is inevitable and a necessity.\u201d TURKEY'S TERMS OF PEACE.Vienna, May 10\u2014It is reported here that Turkey\u2019s terme of peace with Greece include the payment of an indemnity of £3,000,000, a rearrangement of the Greek frontier, the annulling of the treaties favoring the Greeks, the cession of the Greek fleet to Turkey and the settlement of the Cretan question.GREEKS ROUTED AT KAMARINA.Constantinoi\u2019LE, May 10\u2014The Turkish commander at Janina telegraphs that the Greek force at Kamarina has been routed by three battalions of Turkish troops who occupied Kamarina.Later, the despatch adds, the Greeks gathered in a church on the heights above the village, whence they fired upon the Turks, who eventually took the church by assault, killing many of the Greeks and capturing some prisoners.A FATAL MARITIME DISASTER.Hamburo, May 10\u2014A dispatch from the Island of Heligoland announces that the Dutch steamer \u201cFirdona,\u201d from Cagliari, Island of Sardinia, for Stockholm, has been in collision with the Norwegian bark \u201cReed-var.\u201d Both vessels are supposed to have foundered.It is reported that thirteen men of the two crews have been saved and that many others were drowned.names of the gilded youth of London who regularly wailed at the stage door for the emergency of the fair chorus girls.The list includes the Marquis of Blandford, Lord Rosebery, Lord MauDuff, the Marquis of Angle-sea, Sir Douglas Straight, Lord Dudley, Lord Londesborough, Sir George Wombell, Sir James Farquarharson and Lord Alfred Puget.Miss Soldene is at present in Australia, where she has much property.She returns to London in Mav.DESPATCHES.Presented at Çourf R.6.00 Mixed from

Emily Soldene to write a most interesting and certainly the most sensational book of the season.This volume, which was published some weeks ago, was received with indifference on its appearance, butas its frank revelations about the gilded youth of statesmen and fathers of family, men like Lord Rosebery and Lord Dunr&ven began to he known there has been a great rush for the book.Moat of the men who twenty-five years ago.were going the pace in London have read its pages with fear and trembling, while the rest of the \u201cupper ten\u201d are chuckling over Mias Soldene\u2019» revelations.Miss Soldene made her first appearance on the stage at Covcnt Garden in 1865, playing the part of Azucens, in \u2018\u2018II Trovatore.\u201d From that time she reigned as one of the chief favorites of the Loudon board.Miss Soldene first went to America in 1874.Her Com-any was known as the \u201cSoldene English Ipera Bouffe Company.\" They opened at the Lyceum Theatre in fourteenth street, New York.This is how the artist describes the New York women.\u201cThe ladies were most extravagantly dressed for the street, wearing long bright colored silk, brocade or moire skirts, which trailed in the dust.The American lady of 1874 was an entirely different physique to the American lady of 1896.She was fragile, with tiny, flat feet, aud had no instep.She was made up to an alarming extent, not only her face but her figure.They wore diamonds at breakfast, and cut through the vast space of the hotel dining room with elevated, thin, nasal, metallic voices, that made oue\u2019s skin creep.They lived on huge underdone porter house steaks, roast beef rare, ice cream, candy, hot cakes and molasses.They never drank any-hing strong except in the seclusion of their leeping apartments, and then with the intelligence of the ostrich.They stood the empty bottles outside the door, The«e ladies in these days used to call us beefy Uritishsrs.Of course, at the time we could not retaliate, but some women can w ait.\" Here is a description of Lord Dunraven, who was a constant visitor behind the scenes when Miss Soldene was the bright particular star at the Philharmonic Theatre.Our jol-liest constant visitor was Lord Dunraven, gay, clever, bright, full of life, who, after the opera, would walk home with us, cut the cold beef, and open the oysters and stout with the unconventional facility of the mau who has been everywhere, done everything and who has found the most perfect form o( happiness when lying on his back and shouting at the top of his voice on the loftiest peak of the Roukies.Such a sporti man, too.One night he offered the manager, Mr.Charles Morton, a blank cheque to allow two of the principal ladies a night off.The manager, however, put on no end of official frills and would have nothing to do with the cheque, the proposal or the proposer.Her description of Boston is as follows :\u2014 \u201clu Boston, beautiful bald-headed Boston, we played at the Globe Theatre, and the great Harvard University supplied us with supper.The students thereof bribed the real supers with dollars to get out of the theatre, and filled their places.One night they assisted in the performance, the next in faultless evening dress, they occupied the front rowrs of the fauteuils, their places on the stage being taken by another contingent.On our last night the whole college turned out, and they set up a barrel of beer in the green room for the chorus.Never was such scanda*.Afterwards we heard dreadful stories of \u2019rustication, and other terrible penalties.\u201d Chicago D thus detailed : During our fortnight\u2019s engagement at Haverley\u2019a theatre we had great business.During this time the Chicago Times came out one morning wilh a column about my mouth.My mouth was so

Sin Francisco at that time was Dr, Cornelius Hertz, one of the leading lights of society, the most fashionable physician aud well known man about town.He was very profuse, extravagant, generous to a

tans.W e went into cellars and cupboards and down corridois, into which the nasty smell of centuries had strayed.Dr.Hertz was the life and soul of everything and when wo left, he immortalized himself by presenting to one of the ladies a beau, tiful plush bag lined with wash leather.\u201cOn the outside was inscribed \u2018Souvenir of ihe golden state\u2019 and inside was 81,000 in double

back more than a week ago and still remains in a back shed, as it is far too large to be got into the building through any of the doors or windows.The hopelessness\tof\tmoving it\twas soon realized when it arrived here, as in its present\tcase\tit\tweighs\t1,200 pounds, is 9 feet long, 9 feet tall and about 10 feet wide.As it would be impossible, even if the front doorway was enlarged sufficiently to permit of its being taken in there, to get it up stairs, the only plan now suggested is that the stone work around one of the windows on the upper fiat be removed and the animal hoisted by a derrick and admitted that w.iy.Dr.Dawson, the Director of the Museum, was questioned about the matter and said that before this is resorted to an effort will be made to get it in by removing the wooden base.He did not, however, seem to be very hopeful of success.FIRE IN A SHERBROOKE CHURCH.Siikrbrooke, May 10\u2014Shortly after midnight a fire was discovered at St.Patrick\u2019s

MONTREAL MANAGER DEAD.rmiMFJT.A Breeze in the House.Hon.Mr.Sifton Breaks Lance with Mr.Bavin.a The Quebec Admiralty Court, Toronto, May 10\u2014Mr.Constantine Brough, Manager of the Bank of Montreal, died this morning at 30 Brunswick Avenue, of ap- Eendicitis, after an illness of a week or so.Ir.Brough\u2019s condition was not considered serious until yesterday, when his wife and daughter, who have been in England for some time, were cabled for.Deceased was 61 years old.He entered the service of the bank in 1854 and served in Hamilton, Toronto, New York, Guelph and Cobourg.He became Assistant Manager at Toronto io 1880, and on the retirement of Mr.J.W.Yarker, in 1884, succeeded him as Manager.He married a daughter of Dean Geddes, of Hamilton.The body will be taken to H&miL ton

and Mr.Chas.Moss as successor to Mr.Justice Burton, elevated to the Chief Justiceship, took place this inornins at Osgoode Hall.There was a considerable gathering present, among whom were a number of society ladies.The proceedings were of an extremely quiet character.The Registrar of the Court, Mr.Alex.Grant, simply read the notifications of the two appointments and Chief Justice Burton then administered the oath of office to the new member of the Bench, Mr.Justice Moss.No addresses to the Bar were given, although such were expected.VIOLATING THE LORD\u2019S DAY ACT.Hamilton, Ont., May 10-As a result of the visit of Provincial factory Inspector Janies Brown to Hamilton yesterday, three bakers, William Lees, Harris Bros, aud Robr, Smith have been summoned to appear before Magistrate Jelft, charged with violating the Lord\u2019s Hay Act io having their bakers at work on the Sabbath.In some of the bake shops in the city the men are worked more than sixty hours per week, which is a viola tion of the statute and it is likely the Xuspec-.ter will look into this matter also.THE VICTORIAN ORDER OF NURSES.Rev.\\V.T.Rerridge, of Ottawa, addressed a father slim meeting of citizens in the Council Chamber this momiug on the purposes of the proposed Victorian Order of Nurses.Mayor Colquhoun was Chairman aud several prominent citizens were present and several pertinent questions were put to the reverend gentleman in reference to the project.In answer to a question as to how it was proposed to educate the nurses Revd.Mr.Herridge said it was not desirable or feasible at present to enter into details of the scheme.A vote of thanks was tendered Revd.Mr.Herridge on motion of .Senator Sanford aud Dr.Burns.There appears to be a lack of sympathy with the scheme (q Hamilton.prairie

\u201cSuns\u2019 Attack on the Queen\u2014The Dismissal of a Postmaster (From Our Otcn Corny tondent.) Ottawa, May 10\u2014The Premier showed his ability as a skilful tactician in the House today by successfully shelving a number of public bills introduced by both Liberal and Conservative members.Hon.Mr.Laurier seems determined that the session shall end without any delay.The bill introdoced by Mr.MacMullen providing for the appoiot-ment of a Board of Civil Service Supervisors has the support of a great majority of the Liberal members, and had it been less skilfully disposed of by Hon.Mr.Laurier might have caused a long and vigorous debate.The numerous bills introduced by the North-West members, every one of which aimed at the removal of some long-complained-of grievances, and many of which involved important changes in the law and a consequently long debate, were carefully and sucessfully placed upon the shelf for next session.During the afternoon sitting Mr.J.G.Rutherford, the newly-elected member for Macdonald, N.W.T., was introduced by the Premier and Hon.Mr.Sifton and took his seat amidst Liberal applause.Immediately after routine the Premier informed Mr.Macdonald, of Huron, that the report of the Commission appointed to enquire into the affairs of the Kingston Penitentiary would be brought down in a day or two.The Minister of the Interior told Mr.Davin that one Dr.Walton Jones had not been appointed Canadian Crmmissioner to the Exhibition at Stockholm.In his reply to another question by the member tor West Assioiboia, the Minister of the Interior raised the ire of the redoubtable Mr.Davin by characterizing his question as frivolous.Mr.Davin took notes, became almost apoplectic in appearance and the end is not yet.He dared to ask regarding the statement of the Minister made in Supply the other evening, that one of the fiist things he encountered in connection with the Department when he took hold, was a deluge of letters in reference to which his attention was called to the fact that proper hand-written letters to the Department, one, two, three, four and five years ago, had not received any reply.In regard to this apparently extravagant language of Hon.Mr.Sifton, the member for West Assintboia enquired, perhaps a little sarcastically, how many letters the Minister sought to indicate by the Noachian word deluge, who were the writers, how many in each year from one to five had been on-answered, and whether there was any reason given by the Deputy for such extraordinary conduct?Hon.Mr.Sifton, answering the first part of the question, magnanimously informed the House that the word deluge was a simple English word understandable by any man of ordinary intelligence, let alone a man of the eminent scholastic attainments of Mr.*Davin.With regard to the rest of the questions, he did not think he would be doing his duty to allow his clerks to prepare replies to such frivolous questions.Of course Mr.Davin could not reply, but he wanted to and poured out the vials of his wrath on paper for future use.Mr.Sifton may have an uncomfortable quarter cf an hour at a later period.The Minister of the Interior also vouchsafed the information to Mr.Davin that he intended moving the Indian Office at Regina to Winnipeg.He did not know whether the Commissioner had fired any of the employees in the Regina office, as no report had yet been made to him, but he did know that none of the clerks in the Regina office would be transferred to Ottawa.Mr.Oliver wanted to know if the Government intended to treat with the Indians of the Peace and Arthabasca River regions during the present session, with a view to the occupation of the land by settlers?Hon.Mr.Sifton said the matter had not been before brought to the attention of the Government.Mr.Bennett, for Mr.Casgrain, asked \u201c{s it the intention of the Government to appoint a local Judge in Admiralty of the Exchequer Court of Canada, in lieu of the late Hon.George Irvine, or is it the intention of the Government to amend the Exchequer Court Act so as to allow the appoint, meat of a second Judge of the Exchequer Court with residence at Quebec and exer rising the jurisdiction and functions of a local Judge in Admiralty?Is it the intention of the Government to announce its policy on this question during the present session ?The Premier, in reply, said it was the intention of the Government to appoint a local Judge in Admiralty to succeed the late Judge Irvine.The question as to whether the appointment would be of a second Judge of the Exchequer C'ourt, exercising the jurisdiction and functions of a local Judge iu Admiralty.Was under consideration.Mr.Henderson enquired whether the Gov ernment was aware that there existed at the present time iu Canada any trust, combination, association or agreement of any kind among the manufacturers of any article of commerce, or any portion of them, to enhance the price of such article, or in any other way to unduly promote the advantage of such manufacturers or dealers at the expense of the consumers, aud where such disadvantage to the consumer is facilitated by the customs duty imposed on a like article when im ported ?And whether the Govcroment proposed to reduce the duties at once on any article affected by suçh (trusts or oombioes ?The Minister of Finance amused the Hopse by replying that the Government had general information to the effect that there were some such trusts iu existence, but that the information was not sufficient to warrant them iu reducing the duties at present, Hon.Mr.Laurier told the new member for Winnipeg that % purvey had been made and an estimate prepared of the cost of works necessary to render the Red River navigable through St.Andrew\u2019s Rapids.The question of proceeding with the work was, however, under consideration.The Minister of Marine and Fisheries in formed Mr.Davin that the Hudson Bay ex pedition steamship \u201cDiana\u201d had been chartered from the 1st ot May until next December for $9,800.The Government had in sured the vessel for $40,000, and was re sponsible for a proportionate amount of hire up to December in case of the loss or abandonment of the vessel.The member for West Assinibola quietly enquired if the Hon.R.R.Dobell had be come a Director of the Quebec Bridge Com paoy ?He directed his question pointedly to Hon.Mr.Dobell, who was iu the House, and that gentleman was about to rise and reply but the Premier was on his feet first and answered the question in the negative.Major Sam.Hughes\u2014Oh ! let the member for Quebec speak for

but ¦imply because of the difficulties which beset and complicated the situation and which ren \u2022 dared it more or less uncertain in the public eyes.Happily, these difficulties have now to a large extent disappeared and I am free to perform the duty which devolves upon me as a candidate soliciting your suffrages for the honor of representing your division in the Quebec Legislative Assembly.I may say at once that, in coming forward, I have-not consulted my own ambition, but the wishes of the leaders of the Liberal party and of a large and influential body of the electors.I am a plain business man and have hitherto taken no active part in politics, but I have nevertheless long taken an intelligent interest in the public questions of the day, both Federal and Provincial, especially in so far as they affect the welfare of trade and the masses, and the result, I am proud to declare, was long rince to lead my sympathies and convictions into Liberal channels and to induce me to adopt the principles of the Liberal party as the most conducive to the general prosperity of the country and to the honest and economical administration of its oublie affairs.I cm therefore truthfully state that my adhesion te the party is not of rscent date and that, in accepting in its entirety the programme of my honored Provincial leader, Hon.F.G.Mar chaod, and in pledging to it my loyal support, I am simply doing what I have done for years in my private capacity.I am known to most of you and my long residence in your midst has given you opport unity to judge whether I am worthy or not of the confidence which I solicit from all races, classes and creeds of my fellow citizens.In my own hnmble sphere, I have done what could to increase ths trade and advance the interests of Q xebec and, should you do me the honor to elect me as your representative, you can rely upon my most earnest efforts not only to aid in retrieving the financial condition ai the Province bat to realize the great undertakings, each as the Bridge, the Parry Sound Railway, the Fast Atlantic line and others, in the success of which the Ancient Capital is so deeply interested.I have only to add ?hat not only the element t) which I am proud to more particularly belong, but all other elements can count upon my good will and my beat exertions Us properly represent and protect thsir respective interests.I have the honor to be.Gentlemen, Yours very faithfully, RICHARD BARDEN.Quebec, 10th May, 1897.TO THE PUBLIC.THE UNDERSIGNED BEGS TO thank his many custom irs for their past patronage, and wishes to inform them that he has HIS NEW STORE AT NO.122 JOHN STREET.oaoicx supply or.Groceries.Wines, Liquors, and Cigars.CONSTANTLY ON HAND.NOVELTIES !

Willard & Co, wire J S Paquet as follows i\u2014Chicago, Ills, May 10\u2014Wheat\u2014It is evident that Euro]>e is I not living up to theoretical requirements.The world\u2019s shipments last month were 17,259.000 bushels or 7,161,000 bushels less than in April, 1896.Kun>t>ean stocks in and afl.iat therefore decreased last month 800,000 bushels.While the decrease in April last year was 5,500,000 bushels.With the supplies last month more than 7,000.-000 bcshels short of what they were a year ago.supplies have decreased but 2,900,000 more than in April 1896, indicating that theoretical requirements this year ate more than 1,000,000 bushels a week less than they were a year ago, Whether the deficiency is supplied by other food stuffs, or increased home supplies is not settled, but the fact remains as stated.The strength of the market to day is apparently due to the fear of the bullish Government reiiort this afternoon.Offerings have been extremely light, and this mado it easy for the bulls to establish a higher range of values.The de create of 2^ million in the visible was a bullish factor, but the liberal North-West receipts and fine weather, the world\u2019s shipments of about 5,000,000 bushels decreased in ocean passage of only 80,000 bushels, and light exports are rather bearish influences.Boorbohm cables that the Eumpeam visible decreased last week 1,778,000 bushels, and is now 51,712,000 bushels against 57,200,000 a year ago.Com\u2014There was no life or strength in com.It held steady by the sharp bulge in Wheat, but the weather is so fine that increased receipts are being constantly looked for by ihe trade, and this keeps would-be investors out of the market.The trade has been altogether between scalpers, and price changes have been small.Oats have shown a little more strength than com.but the trade has been ext-emely small.Provisions\u2014Th«re was an e#iier feeling at the opening ill consequence of the heavy receipts of hogs.At no time has there been more than a very moderate trade, and most of the session only three or four traders could be teen in the bit.Apparently the Cudahys have bsen out of the market altogether.Swift sold some

Act.It appeared that the defendant sailed from Vera Crur.for London, on February 12th, with 1,616 cubic feet of mahogany on the deck of his vessel, although deckloads are not allowed in vessels sailing to the ports of the United Kingdom during the winter season.Tde defendant admitted the offence, but urged in extenuation that he did not know the English law.Mr.Lushmgton said it was important

from the Min ul a of the Road Committee Sitting of the Third of March, 1897.At the request of His Worship the Mayor, the Secretary read a draft of a by-law to be submitted for the approval of the City (Council relative to a new park or place of pro meuadeand recreation, actually being laid out on the tract of ground in the shape of a peninsula surrounded by the River St.Charles, forming part of the lotof laud designated under ilie number four on the official plan of the cadastrated territory under the name of the Parish of Notre Dame des Anges on the left bank of the said River St.Charles and extending westward to the neck or isthmus of the said peninsula.To the clause of l he proposed by-law designating the park in question under the name of Parent Park, as already designated in the last amendments to the City Charter by the Legislature, His Worship the Mayor suggested to substitute therefor the name of Victoria Park, seeing that its inauguration towards the end of June would coincide wiih the festivities in honor of the Queen\u2019s Jubilee.\u201cI propose, gentlemen,\u201d said His Worship, \u201cthat the new park be called Victoria Parkin memory of the sixtieth anniversary of Her Muj-sty\u2019s accession to the throne of Great Briiain and Ireland.We owe to the reign of Our Gracious Sovereign that political, civil and religious liberty which has rendered the French-Canadian people in particular happy.From the outset of her reign, her sceptre has been our shield and protection, and to her we are indebted for our entry upon the high road leadiogtothe reali-7.ition of our national aspirations.All the cities of Canada, 0:tawt>, Montreal, Toronto, Halifax, Winnipeg, will celebrate her Diamond Jubilee with much brilliancy.We also must join in this concert of rejoicing and I move that the park be officially inaugurated under the name of Victoria Park on that happy occasion.The time, too, could not possibly be better chosen, for then the flower beds will be in all their splendor of leaf and bloom.We shall also have appropriate addresses and speeches and the occasion can be further made a great civic holiday.\u201d Chairman Roy, replying on behalf of the members of the Road Committee, said that the suggestion of His Worship the Mayor came like a surprise to the Committee, because it had become habituated to the idea of \u201cParent Park\" and because it was altogether reasonable that His Woiship\u2019s name should remain attached to it in public recognition of the immense services rendi red by him to the city.Aldermen Norris, Boisvert, Leonard, Drolet also spoke in the same sense.Bui His Worship Mayor Parent again expressed his formal desire to be allowed to withdraw his own name in order that the new park might be called Victoria Park.And the motion being put to the vote was carried unanimously.A true copy.W.D.Baillairge, Secretary of the Road Committee.Mayor\u2019s Office, City Hall, ' : Quebec, 8th March, 1897.To His Excellency Lord Aberdeen, Governor-General of Canada.Your Excellency,\u2014I have the honor to inform you that it is the unanimous desire of the citizens of Quebec to mark by a public demonstration the sixtieth anniversary of the accession of Our Gracious Sovereign to the throne of Great Britain and Ireland.I am therefore charged with the duty of requesting that you will be pleased to convey to Her Majesty their prayer for permission to give her name of \u201cVictoria\u201d to a public park which (he City of Quebec is actually laying out on the banks of the River St.Charles, on its outskirts, and which will be solemnly inaugurated iu Juue next.We rejoice to be able in this way to realize the kindly thought of Her Majesty\u2019s own heart, which led her to express the wish that the proposed celebration of her Jubilee should be marked by the establishment of works of philanthropy, benevolence and Christian charily, of instruction and education, or of amusement aud recreation f >r the masses.Coimquently, the city of Q.iebeo would be deeply gratified if it were permitted to give the name of Victoria to this new ptrk, which will be one of the ornaments of this fortress city, the oldest Capital of the Colonies of the Empire in America.This new'|sed reduction in the time of service would involve a propor tionate reduction in the amount of the pension.In order to give him time
