long-looked for Brook-yn Handicap, which was run this afternoon at Gravesend track.It was the largest attendance ever known on any race course in the United States.Rain early in the morning made the track very muddy.The weather cleared at noon.Horsemen from all parts of the country gathered.The crowd generally was good-natured.Everybody, however, had his or her favorite.The earlier events were disposed of without much excitement, eveu the Expectation stakes, with a field of grandly bred youngsters, failed to bring enthusiasm.Then the pent up feelings of the crowd broke loose.The wanning gallops of the candidates were watched eagerly.Every move waa carefully noted at the paddock.The jockeys were gaped upon like idols.Finally the starters were called to the post and the barrier was lowered.\tStarter Pettigilli quietly told the jockeys that if they aP helped him there\twould\tbo lit- tle delay.Numerous breaks preceded the start and brought loud murmurs from the ataud, which ciuickly died away when it was seen that the flags were still up.Finally they were off.The crowds were standing on the seats.Shouts of encouragement came from all quarters as the fjeld swept by the stand.>v hen the mile was covered aqd the run through the home stretch began, the scene was one of great exoitemenr.The dash to the finish was made amid wild confusion.The yelling was furious.The jockeys were plying their whips and there was a tremendous roar like the thundering cf a thousand cannons as the winner passed the stand.\u201cHoward Mann\u201d was first, jockey, W.Martin ; \u201cLake Shore,\u201d Sherrer, was second and \u201cVolley,\u201d Lambley, third.Time 2.09J.\u201cLoki,\u201d \u201cHandspring,\u201d \u201cSir Walter, \u201cKing Arthur,\u201d \u201cBelmar,\u201d

Championship, were brought off qoder favorable conditions to-day.In the one (pile run there were 15starters, all in one hea^.The favorite, Geo.W.Orton, of Pennsylvania, won easily, with J.F.Creaman, Princeton, second and D.Grant, Harvard, third.Time 4.25.The great surpriae of the day was the downfall of the world\u2019s champion sprinter, B-jrnsrd J.Wefers, of Georgetown (Juiversity, in the 250 yards flat race, lu the final 50 yards Wefers jumped in the lead, which he held for half distance while Colfelt went after him.The Princeton man overtook Wefers at the reporters\u2019 stand and from there to the finish a desperate race ensued between the two, Colfell lasted the long er and won by about two feet in 22.3 5.Commercial Relations Between the United States and Canada, ( Special to the Morning Chronicle.) Detroit, Mich,, May 31\u2014The recent speech of Erastus Wiman at the Detroit Chamber of Commerce banquet set the members of the Manufacturers' Club to thinkiug, and the result is that the Club has decided to do what it can toward the betterment of the commercial relations between the United Htatcs and Canada.The Club referred the matter to the Committee on Trade Extension, which referred it to E.E.Armstrong and James Inglis.These two gentlemen have drafted a resolution to he submitted to the Club at its meeting on June 2'2nd, endorsing the resolution introduced by Congressman Hilt anti urging the Senators and Representatives in Congress to hasten its passage.The Hitt resolution culls for the appointment of a Committee of three Commissioners by the President to meet a like Commission from Canada, to consider the best methods of extending commercial relations between the two countries, the eaid Çounniasion to report to the re*t< who will lay the report before Congress, the initiative to be taken by Canada.Mr.inglis has been in correspondence with statesmen and Qianuiacturers in the east and hau received ope letter that says i\u2014\u201c\\\\'hat purpose is being served by a tariff as severe against Canada as against old nations, where conditions Justify protection?Condiiions are equal between the two coun, tries ; a commercial union between them would he a cure for hard times.Let us at least set experts to work to discover if it is not so.No harm can come of that.Don't let us forever drift apart when by enquiry we may discover a possibility of mutual development for mutual advantage,\u201d DESPATCHES.Canadian Pacific Ptaiiway.An Important Office May be Removed to Ottawa.Other (ffiangcsContempt ated An Earthquake\u2019s Serious Res ults\u2014 Baroness Von Turkhei m in Montreal\u2014A Conservative Parliamentary Caucus\u2014Cases Before the Privy Council\u2014Sund&y Street Cars {in Toronto\u2014The Indian Trouble Ended.Montreal, May 31\u2014It is reported that the office of the General Superintendent of the Canadian Pacific Railway, Mr.- C.W.Spencer, will shortly be moved fron* this city and located at Ottawa.There are many reasons given in explanation of this move, hut io view of the fact that the short line to Ottawa via Alfred will soon be completed, and the branch of the old station at the Capital to the new joiut depot of the Cauadiaa Pacific and Canada Atlantic will also be finished shortly, it it not at all likely that the change would be beneficial to the operation of the Company\u2019* business.Again, it is pointed out that while other companies are directly represented at the Dominion seat of Government, the influence of the Canadian Pacific Railway is at present altogether indirect, there being no official of the Company, apart from the Divisional Superintendent located at Ottawa.It i* more than probable that at the removal of the General Superintendent\u2019s office to Ottawa, the services of at least two of the accountants and of the majority of the clerks employed under them will be dispensed with, and the whole of this work, in as far as it relates to lines east of Fort William, will be handled either by Mr.Thomas Tail, the new manager of this section of the system, or by Mr.I.G.Ogden, the Comptroller of the Company.Many other changes arc spoken of as probable, notably the transfer of Mr.Robillard, at present Divisional Superintendent at Ottawa, to Quebec, vice Mr.\\V.C.Hall, who is advancing in years and is expected to retire from active service in a short time.AN EARTHQUAKE\u2019S SERIOUS RESULTS.The earthquake which shocked Montreal last week has been productive of serious, and in once instance, fatal consequences.Henri Paquet, of Bonsecours street, was talking to a couple of friends in his place of business when the phenomenon made itself apparent.The crashing noise which accompanied the quake appeared to him so violent that he has been deaf ever since andean hear nothin'.He says that the only thing apparent since the shock is a constant rumbling noise in his s.There died yesterday the young daughter of & merchant on Craig street, following the fright cause by the earthquake.The shocks threw her into an hysterical fit which developed in convulsions, with fatal results.Quite a number of persons throughout the city are .still suffering from the effects of fright, and iu once instance, that of a l&dy, life is despaired of.The last shocks have had a terrible effect on people with weak Korver.BARONESS VON TURKHEIM IN MONTREAL.Baroness Von Turkheim, formerly Miss Young, of Sun Francisco, an important witness in the celebrated Fair a ill case and whose marriage to the so-called Baron Von Turkheim, and their subsequent departure for Europe created such a furore a few weeks ago, arrived in Montreal to-night.The Baroness wsa a passenger on the Allan Line ship \u201cLaurentiau, which arrived at Quebec yesterday.The Baromss, when interviewed to-night, said thnt after her arrival in Lon-, don she discovered a number of letters sent to her husband that borethe name of Charles Von Arnold.This arooaed her suspicions and ahe taxed her husband with being a fraud.After an angry scene he admitted that he was not a Baron at all, but Charles Yon Arnold, a detective who had been employed together out of the way, a* it was feared that her evidence in the ^air will case would be dam?aging to the claimants.His first idea was to get her to China and have her shut up in an asylum, but ahe refused to goto that country-and he then proposed to take her to Germany or France.Whop he found that his game was up, he deserted the woman in London.Ti^e Baroness claims that she received money from a friend of here, a 8an Francisco lawyer named Hubbard, which enabled her to book passage home and it is her present intention ta return to San Francisco and tell all she knows in connection with the case.The Baroness is accompanied ,by her young son.Von Arnold, it has been discoverad, was a detective employed in a Ran Francisco agency.THE CANADIAN BISLEY COTTAGE.Ottawa, Ont.May 31\u2014The Council of the Dominion R flo Association hta received word from Major

caucus will be held lo-.uiorrow to discuss the policy of the Opposition with respect to the close of the session.While the Premier will be leaving on Thursday for England via New York, the Government is quite prepared to carry out the sessional programme iu his absence, at least so much of it as may not be included \\n any compromise with the Oppositiona The Conservatives are, as to the rank and file, ready for either an early adjo irnmeut or a contest to the end of most of the contentious measures proposed, while the party lieutenants are believed to favor the tatter pUn of campaign.There is a rumor that the Bill to restore the Controllers of Customs and inland Revenge to full Cabinet rank presages some Ministerial changes.CASES BEFORE THE PRIVY COUNCIL, City Solicitor McTavish sails for England on Saturday to argue pome Government cases before the Privy Council.Solicitor-General Fitzpatrick, who was to have presented the cases for the Dominion, found at the last moment that he would be unable to go and requested Mr.McTavish to undertake the task.Having obtained leave of absence, Mr.McTavish accepted the Solicitor-General's offer.On his return it is expected he will be made senior County Judge of Carleton, Judge Ross retiring on account of age.FIRE INSURANCE IN TORONTO.Toronto, May 31\u2014The underwriters have come to terms with the Public Committee in the matter of insurance,

to-morrow Kioruiog at nine o\u2019clock.FRUIT A2ÏD TOBACCO PROSPECTS IN WESTERN ONTARIO.Windsor.May 31\u2014The fruit growers expect % heavy crop of pears, cherries, plums, strawberritu and small fruits generally, but the dismal prediction made early in the season as to peso' es is likely to be realized.The cold wave is said to have killed the buds and some of the largest growers will not have a bushel.The additional protection afforded to farmers who grow tobacco has already had its effect, for they are all increasing their acreage and by next year they believe that all cigar tobacco required in Canada will be produced in the Counties of Essex and Kent.The tobacco will be used only in the ten cent cigars.The farmers of Essex and Kent are shipping large quantities of radishes to Toronto and Montreal.THE INDIAN TROUBLE ENDED.Winnipeg, Man., May 31\u2014Shortly after noon yesterday a break occurred in the telegraphic line somewhere north of Saskatoon, and in consequence

while crossing the ocean, Wihich, though not serious, was painful and troublesome.In helping his w ife up the gangway when the ship was lurching badly he struck his elbow against the side of the doorway, and although no boues were broken he suffered quite as rouoh as if they had been.This naturally took off something from the keen edge of his pleasure.He has, however, managed to do a good

too strait-laced in his views of fiction, and resent his criticism of M.ZoU ; but, on the whole, his lectures are very much admired, for, after all, M.Brunetiere is a critic whose opinions are worth something.He wm accompanied by his wife and Mme.Blano, who as Th.Ben zon is well known to the readers of the tfe-rite des Deux Mondes, M me.Blanc speaks English with great facility, while neither

evoked considerable adverse comment.It includes a number of men, to whom it is no disrespect whatever to say that they should never have been selected for the purpose.The Regiment ought to be the best possible representation of Canadian manhood.Those members of it who do not enter into this category are, of course, not responsible for the fact, but the commanding officers who selected them are far from blameless.Either their corps must be most miserable ones as a whole, or favoritism would seem to have decided the choice of the men, for it is hard to imagine many of them as anything like the best possible representatives of their regiments.A number of them are of poor physique, others have a miserably unmilitary carriage, and a good few would stand quite a lot of brushing up and tidying.If, to all this, poor marching and ill-fitting uniforms are added, the result can be imagined.In short, our proposed picked Jubilee contingent, intended to do Canada credit, will fall far short of its object if some marked improvement is not at once visible.This criticism is made in no carping spirit, but for the best interests of all concerned and it is to be hoped that some better showing may soon be made, for Quebec is a military city and a soldier\u2019s faults are soon noticed here.Our representatives will rub should ers with the best troops of the Empire and will need to be at their best.A large proportion of them are undoubtedly men to whom not the slightest exception can be taken and who would do credit to any country.But the crazy-quilt, patch-work, appearance of the detachment is painfully apparent on parade and it is hard to say how the matter can now ba remedied.However, let the men strive at least one and all to acquire a first-class military style and deportment.They have less than a week now in which to brush up, and they will be inspected in two or three days by General Gascoigne, Col.Lake and Captain McLean, A.E.C.By the way, a correspondent asks us to suggest that a subscription be taken up here to defray in a fitting manner the expenses of the Quebec members of the Jubilee contingent outside of those borne by the Government.He says that this has been done in other places and that some members of the Toronto detachment have had as much as $75 each presented to them, and thinks that Quebec should do the same.It can at least be claimed for our own city\u2019s representatives that they are one and all most soldier-like in appearauco and of fine physique, including as they do carefully picked men from the R.C.A., the 9th Battalion and the Q.O.C.H.stances put forward by the Daily ATeirsand Truth\u2019s Paris correspondent as proof of disgraceful cowardice on the part of the men at the Paris fire.It was, of course, necessary to find some explanation for the enormous disproportion in the dismal death-roll between the women and the men ; but the true explanation is that a similar or even greater disproportion existed within the precincts of the Charity Bazaar before the fire occurred.The unpleasant evidence gathered by Mrs.Crawford has received a very gratifying counter proof in the columns of the Gaulois.The Duchesse d\u2019UzES has taken up the cudgels for the men, and, having herself escaped the deadly fire, has written to that paper testifying that the men did their duty.Par parenthese, it is interesting to consider the value of the Duchess\u2019s evidence.She was among the first to save herself, nor did she for an instant lose her presence of mind, but remained in the Rue Jean Goujon a powerless spectator of the tragedy.The Duchesse d\u2019UzES is one of the finest horsewomen in France, perhaps in Europe, and her escape, like that of another great equestrienne, the Marquise d\u2019AiGLE, was due not so much to good fortune as to presence of mind in a situation fit to quell the bravest.Had that presence of mind been shared by all, doubtless that awful fire would not have claimed one third of its many victims.The Gaulois, however, was not to be satisfied, like Mrs.Crawford, with isolated evidence.The aspersion on the behaviour of the men had taken hold of the popular imagination, and was admitted to bo almost too horrible and substantial an accusation to be suffered to drop.With praiseworthy industry the Gaulois has opened an tnqutU, such as no official action could very well provide, and which may reasonably be expected to lay once for all the ghastly ogre of masculine cowardice.Our contemporary has appealed to the men themselves, and the letters received and published yesterday, modest but precise, and coming from the chief actors in the scene, form an un questionable denial of the ugly aspersion.This unofficial inquiry, moreover, so far as it has gone, proves that the social standing of the men at the bazaar was equivalent to that of the women\u2014in a word, the best that France can produce.Hence another argument on behalf of Frenchmen and French chivalry.And we welcome the fact.There has been perhaps too ready a credence given in England to this tale of French cowardice.It is absurd on the hice of it, for French history, equally with our own, teems with chivalry and heroism, whether by sea or land.Under the influence of panic, in the face of fire, burning walls and blazing roof, with imminent death a matter of seconds, and perhaps not that, some men, even bravo men, may involuntarily act the|brute.But to measure all by an unworthy calumny is neither true nor handsome.\u201d EDITORIAL NOTES.\u201cAlmighty Voice\u201d is an almighty better Indian dead than he was living.The news of his killing on Sunday afternoon was interrupted by a break in the telegraph wires and only reached Winnipeg at 3.30 a.m yesterday, after the telegraph offices here were closed.The body of the late Mr.J.H.R.Mol-sox, of Montreal, is to be cremated.In view of the enormous charges for lots and interments now made by our local cemetery companies, it is probable that the establishment of a crematory in Quebec would prove a successful undertaking, This paper has more than once referred to the disgraceful condition of some of the city streets.On Saturday a well known city physician broke a valuable vehicle on St.John street owing to its shameful state of disrepair, and states that he will enter a suit for damages.The city will soon have a good many of these on hand if both the road and the sidewalks on St.John, Grande Allee and De Salaberry streets are not at once attended to.They are in places perfect death traps.The prisoner Gahan or Graham, who passed the forged check at Mr.Mac-Nidkr\u2019s, succeeded also in victimizing one of the city banks.Yesterday he pleaded guilty of both offences and will be sen tenced to-day.He certainly ought to get the extreme sentence allowed by law, particularly in view of his recent utterly unwarranted release from the penitentiary where he had been sent for life for vitriol throwing.Just before he was rearrested here, the Mail and Empire said :\u2014\u201cThe Minister of Justice has just pardoned a convict by the name of Graham or Gahan, who, in 1887, was sent down to Kingston for life for vitriol throwing.Graham was proven on his trial to have been a hardened criminal and to have spent 18 years in English penitentiaries.He was pardoned in England on the occasion of the Queen\u2019s Jubilee of 1887, and immediately came to Canada.His first exploit here was to enter a shop in which there was but one at-tendant, young Mr.Sievert, and to throw vitriol into Mr.S»evert\u2019s face.The crime was the most dastardly and cowardly ima ginable, and resulted in partial blindness to the unoffending victim.Graham was sentenced to life imprisonment.Everybody felt that the sentence was not a whit too severe, not merely from the punitive point of view, but from the consideration of the danger to innocent people that is possible when a man who, unprovoked, will do such a thing is at large.Sir John Thompson was once urged to shorten the man s sentence.He declined, declaring that his duty to the public required that the law should be upheld, and that the people should be protected.Sir Oliver Mow at, asked to give a pardon, has done so unreservedly, the criminal getting off with ten years\u2019 imprisonment.It is not pleasant to comment upon the administration of justice ; but, really, this is an outrage.\u201d rMtlMT.The Saskatchewan ' \" , The Prime Minister Explains the Facts of the Case.Trouble Said to be Over.TheDebate on the Tariff Continued \u2014That Ambiguous Preferential

Ottawa, May 31\u2014After routine in the House to-day, the order paper waa promptly cleared of a number of queationa by members, moat of them of purely local import.Mr.Jamieson (Winnipeg) waa, however, informed by Hon.Mr.Blair that the Government had no knowledge of the Canadian Pacific Railway charging a discriminating rate of ten cebla per 100 pounds on freight arriving at Fort William by other than vessels of the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Beatty Line.If such facts were brought to the Government\u2019s attention the matter Would be lobked into.Upon the orders of the day being reached, Mr.Davin arose and said he desired to call the attention of the Prime Minister to the neWa that has come from Saskatchewan.\u201cIt \u2022eerast\u201d he continued, \u201cthat Almighty Voice has killed three citizens, one a civilian and the others a constable and a corporal of the North West Mounted Police.It sounds alarming because we gather from th*e tele-grama in the newspapers that Almighty Voice is being reinforced by young men from the reserves, and from Regiua and elsewhere the Mounted Police are going out.I wish to ask the Prune Minister whether he has any more recent information.\u201d Hon.Mr.Laurier replied:\u2014\u201cI have all the information obtained so tar.I nr ay say in advance that Almighty Voice has been killed in the attempt to capture him.This is the information that has been supplied by the Commissioner of Mounted Police.On Thursday of last week aa Indian named Almighty Voice, who had previously shot and killed a sergeant of the Mounted Police, shot from ambush a settler named Venue, wounding him in the shoulder.Venne waa brought to Duck Lake and the police at once started in pursuit of the Indian.On Friday morning they located him with other Indians in a bunch of timber, but the Indians had the advantage of the position and in an attempt to capture them the following casualties occurred :\u2014Constable Kerr and a volunteer named Gundry were ehot dead ; Corporal Hockin received wounds from which he died the same evening ; Inspector Allan\u2019s arm was shattered by a bullet about two inches below the shoulder, and Sergeant Raven was shot in the groin.One Indian was known to have been killed.A field gun was sent for to shell the Indians out of the timber, with the result that two Indians were killed, one of them being Almighty Voice.No further trouble is expected.We have not been able to get authentic information as to the oir-cumatances which led up to the shoot ng of Venne by Almighty Voice, but it is believed that heaudCorporalUowridge.of the Mounted Police, came suddenly on Almighty Voice, when the latter ran into the woods and shot from ambush.\u201d Id Committee of Ways and Means, Hon.N.Clarke Wallace resumed the debate on the proposed amendment to the reciprocal clause of the tarif.He pointed out that the proposed reduction of 23 per cent in favor of Great Britain and any other countries which may be entitled to it, was a serious menace to the industries of Canada, because the interests of this country were inseparably bound up with a protective policy.Major Beattie pointed out where in many instances this country was certain to be flooded with German imitations of British goods, forwarded from England with the German manufacturers\u2019 mark removed.He took a fling at Hon.Mr.Lanrier\u2019s Saikatchewan musket in connection with the Premier's approaching Jubilee trip.Mr.Dupont criticized the tariff at length.Hon.Mr.Foster, after recess, resumed the discusssion on the tariff.He said it was the next thing to disgraceful for the Government to ask the House to put abnormal and extraordinary powers into its hands without voushsafeiog one single'glimmer of light, and to the method of procedure by which the reciprocity clause shall be put in operation.He insisted once more on the indefioiteness of the clause aod agaiu pressed for further explanations.Hon.Mr.Paterson said he coaid not add anything to his explanation of last week.Hon.Mr.Foster then ssked Hon.Mr, Laurier to explain.Hon.Mr.Laurier\u2014My view is the view of the Controller of Customs.Hon.Mr.Foster said it was a sorry exhi bilion which the honourable gentlemen op poslte made.They would go dowif to pos terity as the first Government in the history of this country that had persistently refused to explain its measures, either through unwillingness or Inability.He moved amend the clause so that it should read as follows :\u2014\u201cThat when the Customs tariff of any country admits the products of Canada on terms which, on the whole, are, taking into consideration the average tariff rates of this country upon the principal products to be interchanged, as favorable to Canada as the terms of the reciprocal tariff herein re fem d to.\u201d The amendment consists of the insertion of the words \u201ctaking into consideration the average tariff rates of this conntry upon the principal products to be interchanged.\u201d Sir Charles Topper, in seconding t he amend ment, said that the clause should certainly be made clearer.It should be intelligible to the mass of the people, and these words were calculated to do this.Hon.Mr.Laurier said it was not possible to satisfy the Opposition.No matter what explanations were given to them they would not exercise their intelligence or judgment.He paid Hon.Mr.Poster the compliment of saying that he was a man of keen intellect, but on this matter it could not be said he was bright man, but lather an obtuse man.The clause was as intelligible as anything ever put before Parliament and yet Hod.Mr.Foster preteuded he could not understand it.It almost required a surgical operation to get the meaning into hishead.By the amendment, however, Hon.Mr.Foster had shown that he thoroughly understood what the clause meant.Hon.Mr.Foster could understand it if the Government would amend the tariff by stating that when the tariff of a countr upon articles we sell to it was on the whole Ride a Bicycle.You\u2019ll Feel Better, Look Better, Work Better.Ride a Columbia You\u2019ll be Proud of Yuur Wheel A PERFECT\u2014The Leader of Canadian Wheels.GARDEN CITY or DOMINION.THE AMERICAN CYCLOMETER, Registers Daily and Yearly Trips.Agents: H.May II, 1897.S.SCOTT & CO., 60 Peter Street.apU-oo-Ctn S.J.SHAW k CO.12 St.John Street, Upper Town, 87 Sous-le Fort Street.Lower Town.FISHING -GENUINE- B'OMtEST Sc SOISTS SALMON FLIES, RODS AND REELS, LINES AND GUT, LEADERS.BICYCLES.** o* HARDWARE, WE HAVE GOT THEM ! \u2018XXTBCA.T 7 QOLF STICKS I BALLS I STRAW HATS!

the result must be more blunders than ever previously known.Hence it would be far preferable to make a ruling now than for the Controller to have to do the work piecemeal.Mr.Russell claimed that the amendment made the clause more ambiguous.The words \u201cactual tariff rates\u201d were vague, the \u201caverage tariff collected\u201d would be better.Hon.Mr.Foster insisted that his amend ment rendered the clause clearer.It was not fair, in deciding this question, to take the tariff on articles w hich could not he the basis of favorable or unfavorable trade between two countries, but consideration should be confined to articles in a tariff which either at the time were interchanged or stood a fair prospect in the mind of tbs Government of being interchanged between two countries.Mr.Taylor quoted from the speech of Mr.Frost, who said that in 1894 the Conservatives, by reducing the duty on agricultural implements from 35 per cent to 20 per cent, had driven a thousand workmen in that line out of the country.Aod applying that argument to the preseot tariff, what effect might be expected.The Chairman then put the amendment, which waa declared loot on division.Then Hon.Mr.Foster moved another amendment.He premised it by saying that the Opposition desired to protest against the handing over to the gentlemen of the Council, by Orfier-in-Council, the power of making the full equivalent of a commercial treaty with any country in the world.The amendment was to provide that the products of other oountries than England should not be admitted to Canada under the minimum tariff until \u201cafter Parliament has given its sanction thereto,\u201d The Finance Minister replied by stating that this preferential rate, if extended to every country in the world having favored nation duties with Great Britain, would not half so seriously affect the revenues as if the Government applied the \u201cstanding offer,\u201d ao-cilled of the national policy tariff of 1879.Taking from the valoe of the imports of last year the importa of Great Britain and the United States, it would be found that upon she remainder the duty paid waa but $5,092,-530 ; taking off this one-eighth, which is all the remission that can be made until next sersion, the result would be a revenue of $636,566 thrown off, which would be the worst that could happen if every favored nation country in the world could come in.On the other hand, if the article mentioned in the standing offer of 1879 were admitted free for the past year, it would result in a reduction of $1,722,757 on the duly.He thought it inconsistent that the Conservatives could endorse the latter and refute to consent to the Government being allowed to make the former redactions.Sir Charles Tupper replied that the question was not one of revenue but as to whether Parliament should allow the Government to make treaties.As to the comparison, there waa no similarity between the staled de-fioite offer of 1879 and the preeent ambiguous proposal.Moreover, the trade of 1896 waa done under a protective tariff.The new tariff was lower and there was still the cat of one-eighth.He drew attention to the despatch of Lord Ripon of last June, advising that if any bill providing for preferential duties were passed, it should be reserved for Her Majesty\u2019s sanction, and \u201cif included in a general tariff bill, a proviso should be added that it did not come ioto operation until Her Majesty\u2019s pleasure be signified.\u201d Yet now the Governor-General was to be asked to extend such preferences without even the sanction of the .Dominion Parliament.After some observations by the Controller of Customs, Dr.Sproule moved that the Committee rise.This carried and the House adj mrued at ten minutes past midnight.STRIQTLY CASH basineas, we are enabled to quote the follow ing low prices.The Goods are choice and of superior quality.Ladles* Sailor Hats\u2014Also for Girls, In White Straw, in great variety, at 38c.48c., 58c., 65c., 78c., 88c.Black, Cream and fancy bands.Ohildrsn*s Straw Hats\u2014White, with turneti up brim, trimmed with Ribbons 48c., 58c., 68c., 79c., $1.00 and $1.10.Boy\u2019s Man-o\u2019-War Straw Hats- With names of ships, et, at 58c., 68c., 78c.85c., 83c.and 95o.These hats are very suitable for Sailor Suite.Ohildron\u2019s 88c.Leghorn Hats \u2014 At Infants'Straw Hats- and $1.10.-Fine, at 95c.Boy\u2019s Boating Hats\u2014At 29c., 38c.42c., 65c., 68c., with plain and fancy bande, Hats for Country\u2014At 9c., 18c.and 24c.Tan Sailor Hats-At 24c.and 45o.Flowers\u2014A choice assortment, Roees, Lilac, Chrysanthemums, Wallflower, Poppi< etc., 20c., 30c.and 38c.per spray.Parasols\u2014Entire new stock.In Shot Rustling and Surah Silks.Artistic handles.Prices, $1 78, $1.88, $2.10, $2 18,$2 38, $3 10.White Satin, at $1.88 and $2.78.Ohildron\u2019s Parasols-At 35c., 39c., 45c., 50o., 58c., andin Silk, at 85 c., $1.10, $1.18.All new goods.Veilings \u2014A new assortment, 20c,, 25c., 30c., 38c., 48o.and 68c.In Black Chenille Spot, Rassis Net, White Spot and White and Cream Cycling Veils.Laces\u2014White, Cream aod Butter Brussels, at 13c., 15c., ISc., 20c., 24c.and 29c.White washing Torchons, at 10c., 15c.and 18c.per dozen.Ribbons\u2014Over a thousand pieces in stock, plain and fancy colors.Very choice fancy, at 9a, 21c., 30c , 3Sc., 48c.and 68c.Blouse Materials\u2014In Lawns, at 20c.;

the Triton Tract.Notwithstanding the disagreeable and unfavorably wet weather of the last few weeks, .which caused Grand Lake Batiacan to rise qo less than a foot and a half in two days, the party secured very good sport.The Hoo.Wm.B.Kirk, ex-Msyor of Syracuse, killed three trout in one day that weighed twelve pounds and also caught the heaviest fish yet reported from the Tract, - a brook trout of nine pounds.This fish was caught on a trolled buck hair fly made by Mr.McHarg, of Rome, N.Y.It took nearly half an hour to kill and was finally netted by Master Edgar Gregory, the young son of the proprietor of the Yates House, of Syracuse, who u a trye chip of the old block.The fish is to bs carefully mounted and is a beautifully bright colored speoiipen of our salmofonli-noli*.Another fortunate angler was Mr.M.C.Pierce, of Syracuse, who caught one trout of 8i lbs.and another of 6$ lbs.The party saw a magnificent bull moose, which came within 150 feet of them.Some of their friends, a few days previously, reported having seen no fewer than fourteen caribou.Military Funeral.The remains of the late Corporal Rutherford were laid in their last resting place at Mount Hermon Cemetery
