\u201cPanther,\u201d has at hia disposition what he may tegard as a sufficient force of men to capture Santiago even before the troops arrive.The 800 marines on i*r, i Madrid, June 9\u2014A long Cabinet Council to consider lh* situation, especially the resources required for the campaign and the war plans was held to-day.The Minister of Marine submitted important documents for the consideration of the Ministers.It is announced that he will proceed shortly to Cadiz, ostensibly to inspect the defences of that place, but it ia said he \u201cmay posaibly make an important decision during his stay there.\u201d The Minister of Marine will also devote considerable attention to the availab'e naval reserves.Since the last advices from Manila there is apparently an undercurrent-of intensity that is repressed only on patriotic grounds.The newspapers are priming violent articles, demanding that the responsibility for the present situation be determined.Political circle* themselves are being \u201csatisfied that the Powers will not permit the United State* to hold the Philippine Islands.\u201d The Cabinet Council was occupied with a long discussion as to the military situation In the Philippines.General Correa, Minister of War, denied that Captain General August i\u2019s position was desperate and Seoor Sagasta added that Manila had means of defence until the arrival of reinforcements.Ihe Council then adopted measures which are kept secret.Captain Aunon, Minister of Marine; was authorized to tàke whatever measures he considered necessaay with reference to the Philippines.Benor Sagasta declared that the Government had no intention of taking the initiative in negotiations for peace.Capt.Aunoo, Miolstér of Marine, started for Cadiz at teu o\u2019clock t his evening.All the Ministers accompanied him to the railway «talion.He will remain at Cadiz until Admiral Cervera\u2019s tquadron is ready to sail.General Correa, in the meantime, ia fulfilling hia duties at the Mhnstry of Marine.The fifteen vessel* forming the squadron will start together under sealed orders, which will be opened only when the squadron is well out to sea.It is understood that the forces will then be divided.London, June 9\u2014Whatever may be the________________ ______o __________^ policy of the United States towards the Phi-1 rjgon the forts at Guanahan and lippine Islands, the English capitalists whose I qUiet ia restored and the Islands investments there give them the right to the conditiora 1,500 men.Without impairing lh* t fhciency , of his ships, Admiral Sampson could spare 1,000 blue jackets for a landing party and with this total force of 2,500 men, ,if the insurgents who have been armed by the ! United States Government do their share, it seems possible for Admiral Sampson to capture Santiago at short notice.There seemed to be a very decided air of expectation this j afternoon among the officials who are acquainted with the Government\u2019s plan in the campaign that almost warranted a conclusion that an engagement of some kind was expected to day.lu the House of Representatives tc-day, a severe arraignment of the failure of the Administration to bring relief to the suffering people in Cuba was interjected in the debate on the War Revenue Bill by Mr.Pierce (Democrat, Tennessee).After reviewing the demande for war upon the ground of humanity, he attacked what he declared to be the negligence of the Administration and its.failure to relieve quickly the distress in Cuba which had largely precipitated hostilities.LAURIERS THANKSGIVING.DAY Franchise Bill this afternoon, pointed ont the abuses of the Provincial franchise law of Nova Scotia and declared that tho Senate would be recilcitrant to its constitutional rtust if it failed to insist upon the amendment providing for an appeal to the judiciary such as obtained in Ontario and Quebec.Mr.Marlin (Conservative, P.K.i.)eaid the Solicitor General had given no valid reason for opposing the Senate amendment regarding Prince Edward «land.In that Province they had no voters\u2019 lists and no ballots.A man went to the poll and if his vote was not challenged he voted openly.If challenged, the vote was so marked on the poll book and after declaration.In the case of a candidate feeling he had lost votes in this way, he could demand c scrutiny when the objected votes would bo ad/udicsted upon and counted.But the Government proposed to introduce the ballot in Prince Edward fslafid.There was no voters\u2019 list and once a man dropped his ballot in the box how was an illegal or ucqoaliled vote to be detected and passed upon.Either Mie Government should accept the smend-merrts allowing ballots of doubtful voters to be marked fot fature consideration, or have open voting as now obtains.Sir Louis Davies admitted it was a serious question and one upon which he had scarcely yet made up his mind.However, the special marking of doubtful ballots would destroy the secrecy of the ballots, wW(c^ would be serious iu the c&ee of the raflitay employees.Mr.Marliu\u2014\u201cAre not all the ballot* anm-bered just in this way in Ontario ?\u201d Sir Louîe Davies\u2014Yet, but we have no Government railways there.After Mr.Davin had addressed the House on the constitutional aspect of the issue, the motion to reject the Senate amendment was carried \u201con division.\u201d The Act to amend the Railway Act eo as to allow the Government to pay subsidies on pttblic works as the work progresses,- was amended by adding a clause that the Act - \t.\t- r\u20147\u2014»-*-\t0f the special tjommiitee on tne urummonu ¦ 0T>lyJ>®\tthl»Sufrtn1rp^ie8t from what he learned on the trip the condi-\tk* th« first order this after- i P®81 an(I Graod Trunk Bridge at Montreal, tion of things in Cuba is deplorable.Nearly i\tRa,lwfty ** the °rder ^ * ** \\ On the motion for the second reading of all the peaceable Cuban have been starved to DRUMMOND COUNTY RAILWAY COMMITTEE REPORT.The Senate\u2019s Amendment to the Franchise BUI\u2014Rejected in the House on Division\u2014The Plebiscite Bill Stands Over\u2014Manitoba School Lands Fund Resolution \u2014 Proposed Changes in the Tariff\u2014Montreftl Hajkpr Oom-missioncra\u2019 BUI \u2014 Salarie» of County Court Judges.{From Our Own Correspondent.)

and a still greater service will bo rendered by tho public man who will take the work up where Captain Wood has laid it down and secure the suppression of tho many evils and the supply of tho many w.mts which have been shown to exist by the paper before us.One would be tempted at first sight to express surprise at tho trouble to which our author has gone to convince his readers of the necessity of preparedness for war, so unquestionably true is it, a! forcibly stated by Lord Dt\u2019FFERiN in the speech cited by Captain Wood, that force and not right is still tho dominant factor in human affairs, and that no nation\u2019s independence or posses sions are safe for a moment unless she can guard them with her own right hand.Wo have but a very short time indeed to go back for a striking illustration of the readiness with which war is pro yoked with a weak and unpre pared enemy, and of the impatience with which all reasonable endeavors to evade hostilities are set at naught by the party of superior force.Yet the author of the leading paper in the Juno nurqber of the Canadian Magazine,hA3 ample justifi cation for believing in the necessity of convincing Canadians that there is always danger of war, for have not our military authorities acted with that utter disregard of all prudential preparation, that points to something very like a disbelief In the very possibility of & war in which we might bo implicated ?Wo have the proof of this in the lamentable neglect that has permitted the gradual decay of the fortifications at Levis and the Citadel, and Captain Wood makes out a very strong case against the reckless continuance of a policy of unpreparedness.His whole essay is a well thought out and carefully prepared one.He shows conclusively that politics and false economy are the bane of the Canadian military system.He cites, as the Chronicle has frequently cited, the treatment of tho Royal Military College f.nd of its graduates as a result of political partisanship, taking care to indicate, with a nice sensu of justice, the excellence of the work done by the College, and of the professional standing of its graduates.Indeed, in his whole arraignment of our military system, the author of the paper is very particular to draw dividing line between the excellence of much of tho material composing the Cana dian army and the ineffectiveness of the system that governs it.The entire paper is exceedingly pleasant reading, m spite of the ugly sores which it opens up, for one feels that the probing is done in the interests of Science and Truth, and with tho object of seeking and urging the applica* tion of an effective remedy.All interested in the cause should read and carefully ponder the paper in question.Military men who take an interest in their calling will naturally do so.We strongly commend it too to our representatives in Parliament and to all who have the opportunity of reaching or influencing them.Reading men will smile at the quiet satire contained in the assertion that \u201cCæsar\u2019s account of his victory over the Nervii is better reading than anything by Sir William Russell or Mr.Archibald Forbes, and Machiavelli\u2019s views on a militia a»D better than those of must Canadian Cabinet Ministers.\" The many gliring defects in our system, and the diflcrence between the actual strength of the Canadian forces and their enumeration on paper are vividly set forth, but the gallant Captain admits that \u201creorganization is beyond the scope of the present article.All that can be done here,\u201d he says, \u201cis to set down an A, B, C suggestion for it.The militia must have, first of all, complete organic life, and all its organs full of proportional development, lest the breakdown of one organ should cause tho death of the whole body ;

Town 44.TKXT OF TUB OF FICAL MENT, JUDO- The London Times of May 27 contains the following report of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council In the case of (1) the Atlor ney-General for the.Dominion of Canada vs.the Attorneys-General for the Provinces of Ontario, Quebec, aud Nova Soolia; (2) the Attorney-General for Ontario vs.the Attor ney-General for Canada ; (3) ihe Attorneys-Gcneral for Quebec and Nova Scotia vs.the Attoruey-Geueral for Canada.The case was heard before Lord Hetschell, Lord Watson, Lord Hobhoose, Lord Shan 1, Lord Davey, an l Sir Richard Couch.The appeals were from a judgment of the Supreme Court of Cmada of October 13.1896.Mr.C.Robinson, Q C., (of the Canadian Bar), Mr.Haldane, QC, Mr.McTavisb, Q.C , (of the Canadian Bar), and Mr.L-Ochnis appeared for the Dominion of Canada ; the Hon.Edward Biake, Q.C., Mr.Irving, Q.C., (both of the Canadian Bar), and Mr.Clerk for the Province of Ontario; tho Hod.J.W.Longley, Q.C-, Attorney-General of Nova Scotia, Air.Cannon, and Mr.Lewie Coward for the Province of Quebec.The argumente were heard last July before a Board ooneie\u2019.ing of the Lord Chancellor, Lord Herschell, Lord Watson, Lord Mac-nagbten, Lord Morris, Lord Shand, Lord Davey, and Sir Henry de Villiers, when judg ment was reserved.Lord Herschell, in now delivering their Lordt-hips\u2019 judgment, said the Governor-Gen-eral of Canada, by Order-io-Council, referred to the Supreme Court of Canada various questions relating to the property, rights and legislative jurisdiction of the Dominion of Canada and the Provinces respectively in re lation to rivers, lakes, haibors, fisheries, and other cognate subjects.The Supreme Court having answered some of the questions submitted adversely to the Dominion and some adversely to the Provinces, both parties had appealed.It was unnecessary to determine t> what extent the rivers and lakes of Can ada were vested in the Crown, or what public rights existed in reipeotof them.Whether a lake or river bj vested in the Crown as re presented by the Dominion or as represented by the Province in which it was situate it was equally Crown property, and the rights of the public in respect of it, except in so far as they might be modified by legislation, were precisely the same.The answer, therefore, to such questions as those adverted to would not assist in determining whether in any particular case the property was vested in the Dominion or in tho Province.It must also be boroe in mind that there was a broad distinction between proprietary rights and legislitive jurisdiction.The Got that such jurisdiction in respect of a particular subject matter was conferred on the Dominion Legislature, for example, aff >rded no evidence that any proprietary rights with respect to it were transferred to the Dominion.There was no presumption that because legislative jurisdiction was vested io the Dominion Par liament proprietary rights were transferred to it.The Dominion of Canada was called into existence bv the British North America Act, 1867.Whatever proprietary rights were at the time of the passing of that act possessed by the Provinces remaiu vested in them, except such as were by any of Ha express enactments transferred to the Dominion of Canada.With these preliminary observa lions their Lordships proceeded to consider the questions submitted to them.The first was whether thebedsof all lakes, rivers, publie harbors, and other waters, or any and which of them, situate within the territorial limits of the several Provinces and not grant ed before Confederation, became under the British North America Act the properly of the Dominion.That depended mainly on the conetruction of the third schedule to the British North America Act, which was headed \u201cProvincial Public Works and Property to be the Property of Canada.\u201d The fifih of these was \u201crivers and lake improvements.\u201d For the Dominion it was contended that the whole of the rivers were transferred from the Province to the Domicnn.O.i the other hand, it was urged that uothing more was transferred than the improvements of the Provincial rivers\u2014that was to say, only public works which had been (ffVcted, and not the entire beds of the rivers.Their Lord-ships thought that improvements were only transferred to the Dominion.The subjects comprised in the schedule were for the most part works or constructions which had resulted from the expenditute of public money.With regard to \u201cpublic harbors,\u201d their Lordships entertained no doubt that, whatever was properly comprised in that term became vested in the Dominion.The words io the schedule were precise on that point.Their Lordships decliced to attempt any exhaustive definition of the term \u201cpublic harbor\u201d applicable to all cases.It did not follow that, because the foreshore on the margin of a harbor was Crown property, it necessarily formed part of the harbor.It might or might not do so, according to circumstances.If, for example, it had actually been used for harbor purposes, such as anchoring ships or landing goods, it would, no doubr, form part of the harbor, but there were other cases in which it did not\u2019.Passing to the questions relating to fiiheries and fishing rights, their Lordships were of opinion that the 9lst section of the British North America Act did not convey to the Dominion of Canada any proprietary right* in relation to fisheries.Their Lordships ncr ticed the distinction which must be boros in mind between rights of property and legislative jurisdiction.It was the latter only whichjwas cout\u2019errcd under the heading \u201c3ea Coast and Inland Fisheries,\u201d in section 91.Whatever proprietary rights in relation to fisheries were previously vested in private individuals or in the Provinces respictively remained untouched by that enactment.Whatever grants might previously have been lawfully made by ihe Provinces in virtue of their proprietary rights could lawfully be made after that enactment came into force.At the same time, it must be remembered that the power to legislate in relation to fisheries did necessarily, to a certain extent, enable the Legielature so emp >wered ioiiff'i,otjproprit*tary rights.An enactment, for example, prescribing the times of 'he year during which fishing was to be allowed, or the instrument* which might bo employed for the purpnso (which it wa* admitted the Dominion Legis- lature was empowered to pass), might very seriously touch the exercise of proprietary rights, and the extent, character, and scope of such legislation was left entirely to the Dominion Legislature.(The suggestion that the power might be abused so as to amount to a practical confiscation of pro- E»rty did not warrant the imposition by the ourts of any limit upon the absolute power of legislation conferred.The supreme legislative power in relation to any subject-matter was always capable of abase, hut it was not to be assumed that it would be improperly used.If it were, the only remedy was an appeal to those by whom the Legislature was elected.If, however, the Legislature purported to confer upon others proprietary rights where it possessed none itsilf, that, ih Their Lordships\u2019 opinion, was not an exercise of the legislative jurisdiction conferred by section 91.If the contrary were held, it would follow that the Dominion might practically transfer to itself proparty which had by the British North America Act been left to the Provinces and not vested in it.Their Lordships thought the Dominion Parliament had a right to impose a tax, by way of license, as a condition of the right to fish.They were sensible of the possible inoon-venieoces which might arise frbm the exercise of this right, but they hod no doubt that they would be obviated in practice by the good sense of ths Legislatures concerned.In so far os section 4 of the Revised Statutes of Canada (cap.95) empowered the grant of fishery leases conferring an exclusive right to fish in property belonging not to the Donvnion, but to the Provinces, it was not within the jnrisdiotiou to enact the 47th section of the Revised Statutes of Ontario, chapter 34, except in so far as it related to land in the harbors and canals, if any of the latter be included in the words \u201cother navigable waters of Ontario.\u201d The sections of the Ontario Act of 1892, entitled \u201cAn Aot for the proteotion of the Provincial fisheries,\u201d which were in question consisted almost exclusively of provisions relating to the manner of fishing in Provincial waters.Regulations coutrolliog the manner of fishing were nudoubtedly within the oompetence of the Dominion Parliament.The question was whether they could be the snbject of Provincial legislation also in so far as it was cot inconsistent with the Dominion legislation.By section 91 of the British North America Act, the Parliament of the Dominion of Canada was empowered to make laws for the peace, order and good Government of C«nada in relation to * all matters not coming within tha classes of subjects by that Act assigued exclusively to the Lagislaturea of the Provinces, \u201cand for greater certainty, bat not so as to restriot the generality of the foregoing terms of this section,\u201d it was deolared that (notwithstand* ing anything in the Aot) \u201ctheexclusive legislative authority of the Parliament of Canada extends to all matters coming within the classes of subjecta next enumerated.\u2019 The 12.h of them waa \u201cSea Coasts and Inland Fisheries.\u201d Their Lordships felt constrained to hold that the enactment of fishery regulations and restrictions was wichin the exoluaive competence of the-Dominion Legislature and waa not within the legislative powers of Provincial Legislatures.But it did not follow that the legislation of Provincial Legislatures was iocompetent merely because it might have relation to fisheries.Their Lordships cited iost&noes and examples to this effect.They entertained no doubt that the Dominion Parliament had jurisdiction to p iss the Act entitled \u201cAn Act respecting certain works constructed in or over navigable rivers.\u201d It was, in Lheir opinion, clearly legislation relating to \u201cnavigation.\u201d The parties would, of course, bear their own ousts of the proceed loge.__________________________ The Great Art Exhibition at the Young Men\u2019s Christian Association Rooms.(To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle.) Sm.\u2014It was with agreeable surprise that I wérit through the magnificent collection of art treasures last evening, and the same sur prise was expressed by strangers who were present and who had no idea that Quebec could bave managed to get such a splendid display together, and the Committee of Maneg meut have not been sufficiently thanked for the wonderful expenditure of time and trouble in getting them together and placing them in position.The greatest surprise to me wan the discovery that we had an artist amongst ns, whose work will certainly command attention in any gallery.I understand that Mr.Hance has been in Quebec for some time, but he, with the characteristic modesty of artists, must have kept himself in the hick grouud, as this is the first time his work appears to have been exhibited.He is represented by three or four painting), all showing a thoroughly tender, p< etio feeling.His picture of the Little Saguenay is a perfect gem, and should place the artiat in the front rank.I regret to be obliged, as an old resident of Quebec, to say that there is a lack of that enthusiastic feeling for art which wo find in other cities.Such an Exhibition as now open is a positive education and I have noticed that as a city advanced iu the love of art tho material prosperity of the city followed.I do hope that the ifforts of the Artistic Committee will be crowned with success, and that not one of our citizens will allow it to clots without paying not one, but a number of visits, as it cannot possibly be studied in one.I remain, Mr.Editor, A Lovek or Art.Quebec, June 9th, 1898.All disordors ca is *1 by a bilious state of the system ci» be cured by using Curt r\u2019s Little Liver Pills.No paui, griping or discomfort attending their ute.Try them, m.w.fri&w Robbary.The Snake Charmer \u2014The armless wonder was robbed on bis way home last night.Tne Sword Swallower\u2014Of what, pay?The Snake Charmer\u2014Of his reputation, 1 gue^s.The lobbci's made him hold up his hands.\u2014 Ditroii Journal.Boys* White Merino Under* Shirts\u2014Fine make, at 33o., 40s., 45c.Boys\u2019 Natural Undershirts\u2014At 44c., 58c , 85c , 72c.Boys* Natural Drawers\u2014At 50.62c., 60c., 79o.Qirls* White Merino Vests\u2014With short sleeves, at 40c., 42c., 48c., 50c.Children's Wool Vests\u2014Fine qnal ity ; long sleeves, 30o., 35c., 39c., 45o.Ladies\u2019 Cotton Vests\u2014All kinds and qualities, at 10c., 15c., 18c., 20c., 24c., 30c., 38c.Ladles\u2019 Wool Vests\u2014No sleeves and short sleeves, in White and Natural, at 50c., 55o., 62c., 68c., 75c., 90c.Ladles\u2019 Silk Vests\u2014Fine quality, for $1.15 Men\u2019s Balbriffgan Shirt*\u2014At 55c., 68c., 78c., 83 j.Men's Balbrigaan Drawers\u2014At 65c , 58c., 78c., 88o.Man\u2019s India Causa Shirts\u2014In white, at40o., 50c., 58c.and 78c.Men\u2019s India Gaiise Drawers-In white, at 60c.,58c., 60c.and 80o.Men\u2019s Natural Wool Shirts\u2014For 75c., 79o., 953., $1.10, $1.28 and $1 65.Men\u2019s Natural Wool Drawers\u2014 For 79c., 95c., 98c., $1.10, $1.35 and $1.65.Boys' Bathing' Drawers\u2014Fancy stripad, at 8c., 9c., 10c., 12o., 15o.Qirls\u2019 Bathing Suits-At 55c.and 72c.Men's Bathing Suits \u2014'Colored striped, at 39c , 45c., 5Uc., 55c., 6So.WE TAKE PLEASURE IN ANNOUNC-ing that THE ROBERVAL is now open to Sportsmen, Pleasure and Health Seeker*, or those in search of a qu:es place in which to real from cares of business.Bath Rooms, Hot and Cold Water, Bowling Alleys, Bilbard Room, Lawn Tennis, Dance Hall and a new Bicycle Path are amoag the attractions.Also the Island House, Grand Discharge, where the Leaping Ouananiche.Monarch of this .nland Sea, is ready for bosineas in smaehing and 8 ounoe rods.For irformation address MANAGER of The Roberval.June 3,1898.\tBm To Investors and the Publie.SPECULATION DURING THE WAR OF the Rebellion proved to us that in t me of war is the time to better our financial conditions.The New York Stock Exchange alwajs receives the first rumors of battis or victory, and as we have direct communication with the flour of that Exchange, we are in a poeition'to grasp the first threads, and by so doing pises our customers in at the right time to get a net of S to 10 points profit.Until peaoe is proclaimed, we will execute Trades for the Public of 50 shares or upwards on deposit of three margin* on stock, and five margins on wheat, at 1-16 commission.AU orders received will obtain our prompt attention.OJMMKRCIAb TRUST AND INVESTMENT OO,.Execqtors of National & Foreign Bonds, Stocke, Notes and Mortgages, 78 Devonshire Street, Room !

meeting of the Royal Society of Canada the President of the Literary and Historical Society, if this city, P.B.Cas-grain, Esq., who acted as its delegate, presented the following report : \u2014 Mr Presidbnt and Gestlrmkn,\u2014As representing the Quebec Literary and Historical Society in the capacity of its Preaident and delegate to the Royal Sooiety of Canada, I beg, in fulfilment of my mission, to lay before this meeting, a few remarks concerning our Association.Our institution, thanks in a great measure to the zealous efforts of my immediate pre; dece.-sor in office, the Very Rev.I>.an Norman, has taken a new start in activity, and ha» entered upon a period of more vigorous usefulness.A series of interesting lectures, on various important literary subjects, have Leeu delivered during the last two winters by professors of Morrin College, and other distinguished gentlemen, and, as we hope, will be eintinued.I am glad to say, that they have met with commendable encouragement on the part of the public.I am truly happy to announce, that the lublicatiou if our \"Ttausactioos,\u201d which brmerly depended npnn en annual grant if the Legislature, and which, owing to lack of adequate means, has btui inteirupted since the year 1893, will now be resumed.Our Society hopes that their publications will be continued in the future, since a contract to that effect has been secured with the editor of Le Courrier du Livre.Thanks also to the exerliens of the Very Rev.Dean Norman, assisted by Mr.Peter Johnatoo, a member of the Council, the Endowment Fund, cow being raised, to supply the deficit caused by the withdrawal of the Government\u2019s grant, shows a fair beginning of about $2,000, which are now deposited in the Quebec Bank.You will see, by the foregoing, that oor old Association has not been lagging behind, nor has it forgotten the noble purpose for which it was created.Though severely crippled Jo its finances by the discontinuance of the Government grant, and, in that respect, sharing the fate of kindred societies, we hope, ere long, that the Government will look favourably upon a claim for arrears of the aforesaid grant, which should be added to our Endowment Fuad, and we venture to expect, Mr.Preaident, that, under your able management, as Premier of our Province, its finances will be placed upon a sound basis.Possessing as you do, honorable Sir, zeal and well-known literary taste, it will surely be a satisfaction to you to n fleet that yon will have been induced to offer a helping hand to promote the success of the Quebec Literary and Historical Society.Ottawa, May 24tb, 1898.P.B.Casgrain, President and delegate of the Quebec Literary and Historical Society.Sadden Death Yesterday Afternoon.A Conductor Expires on His

an enemy might receive several wounds and yet be able to inflict injury.So clear was this, that the Pathans preferred to face European troops armed with the Lee-Metford, rather than native infantry armed with the Martini-Henry.The result scarcely requires interpretation\u2014its meaning is plain ; the more expeosive class of soldiers were exposed to greater wear and tear ; which is financially unsound ; while of far graver import is the fact that such lessoos must teach the soldier distrust of his arms, and tend to diminish his prestige.In this matter, however, it was the bullet, not the rifle, which failed, and the Indian Government set about finding a remedy.After experiment within the provisions of the St.Petersburg declaration of 1868, which prohibited the use ot explosive bullets, or BULLETS CHARGED WITH FULMINATING or inflammable substances, a modification in the outer case rf the projectile was adopted.The result, known as the dum-dum bullet, has been tried in the 1897 campaigns against the Mohmandt, Swatie, etc., to the north, and the Afridis to the souths of the Kabul river.The results, as far as we know them, are satisfactory, aud we have experience both ways ; wc have seen the effect on our enemies, and have tended some of their wounded ; we have also been subjected to Lee-Metford fire with dum-dum bullets, our adversaries having in more ways than one possessed themselves of the weapon.We do not desire, nor is there any necessity, to contravene even the spirit of the St.Petersburg declaration ; but we do require from those responsible that the ammunition issued to our soldiers shall be serviceable, and such as to command their confidence.In the present state of our relations with neighbouring nations it ia sorely not too much to expect that this essential matter may receive PROMPT AND EARNEST ATTENTION.It is true that by filing or grinding the thick hard points of the bullets their atoppiog power is increased ; but it is undesirable to allow soldiers to tamper with their ammunition, which should manifestly be supplied to them in serviceable condition.The rifles used by the chief European nations are aimii lar in general principle, though they differ in detail, the Mannlichéir being a favourite pattern ; and the bullets, aa may be expected, are much alike.They vary slightly in sizd ; but the shape it wonderfully uniform, save in that used by the French, which has fiat nose, whereby the shock on impact is probably increased.The Americans have adopted a very small bore magjzine riflj for their navy, and possibly before long they may have practical experience of its efficiency ; but with the powerful guns now ased to men-of-war it is difficult to conceive of small arms playing an important part in a sea fight.\u2014Æ/aciioood\u2019s.The banister of life is fall of splinters and mankind slides down it with considerable rapidity.\t______________________ \u2018\u2018McClure\u2019s Magazine\u201d for June* While conserving its general literary interests, McClure's Magazine for June makes good its tide of a War Number | and is really an unparalleled aohievement in making a monthly periodical fully representative if the treat interests of the hour, without any sacri-ce of literary and artistic quality.The editors explain that to accomplish this, they had practically to make the number over a second timo, casting aside part of it after it had gone to press.Beginning with an effective patriotic cover, designed by Mr.Kenyon Co*, and a frQntiti piece portrait of the commapdçr pf the armies, General ^iles, the special character of the number is continued fcy an article, admirable in tone and abundant in information, by General Fitxhugh Lee, giving the observations and impressions gathered by him as Consul-General at Havana on Cuba, aud its people and government, and the war for freedom.This is fully illustrated with portraits of Cuban rulers and leaders &Q'f pictures of Cuban scenes and inQlfiepts, General Miles contributes an article recounting his recent observations of armies and commanders in Europe ;

an amendment w bich would, if it had passed, have removed all Objection to the bill.The amend ment was, however, withdrawn.Hon.David Mills would have been only too pleased had the Government consented to allow of the retirement of Judges on full piy.The amendment would have the effect of prac Daily defeating the object of the bill by postponing its coming into operation.It was a mistake to maintain that these Judges had entered into any contract with the Government that they should be continued in office for life.They were subject to the law wh.tever it might be, and the publio interest was paramount.After considerable debate the amendment was adopted on a vote of eighteen to twelvo and the bill as amended was read a third time.fi lls respecting the North-Western, Northern and North-Eastern boundaries of the Province of Quebec, and to incorporate the Lake Champlain and 8t.Lawrence Ship Canal Company were read a second time.The refusal of the House of Commons to concur in the Senate amendments to the Franchise Bill, along with the reasons therefore, was read by the Speaker.Hon.David Mills proposed that the résolu-ti: n be taken into consideration to-morrow.Sir Mackenzie Bowell\u2014To morrow night.I want time to consider the reasons given.Hon.David Mills\u2014I had hoped that the Senate would have concluded its bueiuess tomorrow night.Sir M ickenz e Bowell could assure the Minister cf Justice that there was little hope of the Senate being ablo to conclude its business to-morrow.Uotil the Senate decided what it proposed to follow in the event of the House of Commons rrfnsing to pass the Franchise Bill, the business of the Senate would not be concluded.It was a matter for crnsidcration how the Senate could amend the Plebiscite Bill, so that the drop-pir g of the Franchise Bili would not deprive the Government of being able to take a vote on the important question of prohibition.Hun.David Mills gave noiioe that he will to morrow move that the Senate hold a sitting on Saturday morning at 11 o\u2019clock.The Senate ad j turned at midnight.is admitted by the profession to be the most wonderful and valuable remedy ever discovered.\tj is the best remedy known for Coughs, > Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma.\t*\t*\t\u2022' i N * effectually checks and arrests those too often fatal diseases Diphtheria, Fever, Croup, Ague, acts like a charm in Diarrhoea and is the only specific in Cholera and Dysentery.\tR effectually cuts short all attacks of Epilepsy, Hysteria, Palpitation and Spasms.is the only palliative in Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout Cancer, Tu >thache, Meningitis, Ac.From W.Vesalius Pettigrew, M.D., formerly Lecturer at St.George\u2019s Hospital, London.-\u201cI have no hesitation in stating that I have,never met With any medicine so efficacious as an Anti-spasmodic and Sedative.I have Used it in Consumption, Asthma, Diarrluea, and other diseases ;

Tire.inotüal respect and high regard which many Englishmen and Americans want the two nations to feel for each other came to one great contingent of both peoples long ago I refer to the American and Eiglreh sailors.As far as concerns the naval men among thoae sailors, who learned to respect each other in 1776 and in 1812, and who, since the last date, have fraternized together all over the world, I fear no contradiction when I say that there is a brotherhood between them already.It makes no excuse* for its being, it never had to be \"worked up,*' and it has no selMoterest at bottom on either side.History would be a much more bulky tome if it held acccünts of all the evidences of unquestioning brotherhood there have been between your braves and ours at sea.I will not say what we Americana have done, bat will ask those who know the facts to recall recent instances of moral support given to the Americans by the British during the Chilian* PetUvian war, the Brafiiiian revolution, and within a few months on the-Turkish coasts.TheV aren\u2019t in history, but the fellows who bei\u2019ng to the two navies know about them and tlial\u2019a cnouglu\t\u2022\t* .r I have f und the English and American naval men furegathering and announcing their ADMIRATION NOR EACH OTHER on both sides of the Atlantic and both sides of the Pacific, and the namest f the ships that play parts in this war remind me of the great* eel fraternising they ever did, which was when Vice-Admiral Hopkins brought his North American squadron to Fort Monroe and New York at tbe time of the Columbus celebration in 1893.There were fourteen American ships, near* ly all cruieers, assembled to receive visitors from all over Christendom.All the Yankee \u2022hips were white, and this characteristic was greatly praised by the Englishmen, who came in vessels as black as so many colliers.The Spanish, French, Dutch, Russian, Ita* iian, and South American ships weto all black, but the German cruisers, \u201cKalaerin Augusta\u201d and \u201cSeeadlerj\u201d which arrived late, were white like our own* The Americans ebtertainad all the visitofs as royally as they knew how, but the English got the warmest greeting abd gave back the friendliest companionship The British Admiral inspected our ehipr with keen interest, and though he frankly said, \u201cYoa have no navy, bat you have the beginnings of a fine one,\u201d he did not spare praise of our cruiser \u201cNew York.\u201d \u201cIn some important respects she is better thsn any cruiser we have got,\u201d be said.Admiral Hopkins bore himself so like the genial and gallant tar he is that this is what the Sun said of him :\u2014\u201cThe British Admiral is WHAT WE WOULD CALL a bally goed fellow.He has met every request and suggestion in precisely the same way.\u2018I give you my cordial support, is what he always says ) 'I am here to help to make this a great success.\u2019 To adopt the programme for the naval parade to New York would be to put himself under a foreiguer and mao\u2019 of inferior rank^ yet he did not hesitate a moment) but said) as usual, that he wanted to do everything that- was friendly and cordial \u201d It wae precisely the same when our people came to him with a proposition for a bluejacket parade ashore in New ¦ York.He agreed to it, though 1 happened to know that many of hie subordinate officers feared the consequences, because English tars only desert in America, just as American tars desert only in England.\t/ The parade was the first cf its kind that ever took place, and made a grand and beautiful sight.Theie were eithc/no desertions, or only qno or two\u2014I am not sure which.But I heard a queer bit of goeup.on the sub jeot from an Euglish officer afterwards, which I\twill give as I took it\u2014as bsitjg very likely, though not to be sworn to.It was to the effect that aboard one of the British ahips were somè two or three disorderly tars who had a demoralizing effect upon the others.Just before that crew inarched ashore, the execu-live officer of the vessel tool* th.se men aside and promited them 10».apiece IF T1IET WOULD RUN AWAY while ashore.\u201cBut, confound them, said he, \u201c1 knew they would not do anything so obliging\u2014and th»-y didn\u2019t.\u201d Just as our racing yachts are fitted pala-tially while the E-ighah yachts are apt to be plain and severe racing machines, so our new ships are elaborately ornamental as compared with yours.VYc give no whit less attention to their fitness as lighting machinée, as your naval men will tell you, but a mo-dem navy is a new fad with ua and an old one witii you.For instance, there is quite a little gilding and oruatmm about a British cruiser like the \"Blake,\u201d but it is all put there by the admiral or the captaio or at the expense of tho ward-room mess.Fine engravings, watcr colours, and oil paintings, as well as portraits of the Queen and li-sser Royalties, aie in the main cabins, but these, too, are the outcome of private taste and patriotism.Bo it was with tho beautiful service of fine, decorated porcelain from which wo diaed when I sailed on the \u201cBlake,\u201d und with the vases and the II\tiwcrs tnat were put in them freah every day.Ou the other hun *, here ii & note made of tlie fittings of the \u201cNan Francisco,\u201d American cruiser, at the «nine time:\u2014**The ship is pronounced as elegant us a great yacht by all naval and yaohuug men who have been aboard her.8he has a great deal of bright brass wotk where other ships show paint, und her cabins are fitted w ith beautiful Californian woods.Ornate tables, cabinets, and : bookcases, carved, gdt, ami set with bevelled ; crystal, are in the Commander's and Ad- j mirai** rooms and in the ivard-room.A MAONinCENT SERVICE\tj of silver plate, made of £1,500 worth of sil- \u2022 ver bullion, each pieoo mounted by a bear made of solid gold, is divided between the Commander\u2019s and the Admiral\u2019s cabins.\u201d All this has nothing to do with Yar,.apd I am merely stating it as an interesting cha racterislio of the new American Navy.The American Government does not furnish these things.It fits out a warship only a little more ornamented than an English ship.It, is the people of the city or State for which the ship is named who deck her with such ' evidences of their pride and love.It was \u2019 out of an effervescence of local patriotism that the rich people of California thos ornamented the \u201cSan Francisco.\u201d Our battle ships are named for our States, onr cruisers for our larger cities, and oar guaboats for the smaller towns, as a rule.So habitual is this decoration of our ships by the people of the places for which they are named that it was done even for the passenger vessels of the American Line plying between England and America.The library, for instance, which the people of St.Louie gave to the ship \u201cSr.Louis\u201d is the largest and most skilfully ¦elected ship\u2019s library I ever saw, and every one of its many hundreds of volumes is ex pensively bound iu gilded leather.The daily morning Divine service aboard the English fLgship, the \u201cBlake,\u201d impressed my countrymen.To see the marines drawn Up oo deck, and the olfhers and sailors stand ing b&re-hcadïd Before the grim cannons and the fortress.like steel shelters and cave mates, while the middies stood at one side in a corner, and to hear these men, ae brave as onr own, who only take rehgion aa if it were a bath \u2014once a week\u2014to hear them praying not to \u201crun in any kind of danger\u201d was very elevating to think about.While the Euglish tars were at prayers, ours were running around the decks of our ships, double quiok in loose, soft shoes, slip-slop, slip-slop, taking their daily spin for exercise.This had to be for, even so little a time ago as tha*, we had very mixed crews, with only 10 or 20 per cenc of Americans in them.Now, thank goodness, we have a navy with only 10 per cent of foreigners in it.The serving out of gro«r was another novel ty to us who give our sailors few prayers and no j g-water.It seemed to us a very elabor* ate ceremony\u2014this serving out of grog with the men all massed around a brass-bound Cask, and the grog-ser-ver and journal-keeper officiating like high priests, while the pteae-ing aroma of the spirits stole all over the deck) In onr navy we stopped the practice years ago, and have ever sioce given Our tars 2$ i.a day in lieu of thfs antidote for snake bites.The English on the \u201cBlake\u201d told me at the time that your men would gladly give up the rum at the price we pay) bub it only costs l$d., which is all you give to the etainers, a price that does not sûffiçe to bribe the rest to temperance.Julian Ralph.If you had taken two of Carter\u2019s Little Liver Pills before retiring yon would not have had that coated tongue or bad taste in the menth this morning.Keep
