proposal.This developed several features of the ifropositlub which had not been entirely clear before.In the first place,\u2019 no foreign Government, outside of FranCS, had been consulted by Spain in this overture for peace.It ftau now.b* stated, however, that the formal proposition 1 ubmitted yesterday has bteo under consideration at Madrid'for five days previous to yesterday, during «bien titps the British, ga well a* the French authorities,'\tcognis- ant of the fact that Spain wa* about to sue for peace.This being settled, it sppears that a good-natured but keen rivalry sprang up between Sir Drammond Wolff, the British Ambassador at Madrid, and M.Patsnotre, the French Ambassador thefe, sS to which Government should have the nohbt of initiating the movement designed to restore the peace of the world.Owing to the cordiality existing between the Government of Great Britain and the United States, it was felt at first that Sir Drummond Wolff would be 00m been fully apprised of the action taken at Washington; and it is not improbable that Spain, within the next two of thfee days, will take another important step forward, voluntarily suggesting what terms of peace tfhs will regard as consistent.Those, of course, will lie initiatory, and will be designed as a sort of opening wed#6 toward bringing the two Governments together oil the final peace conditions.\t.Vrom the standpoint of the Uoited States, it is tor Spain to malie the first definite 1 tendet of termsy as she is the one most inter-in to fc'it-d to ternirnatic It will then 1 bs for the suited Mtate* to Say

to hake fife-ferred the ifatermediation of the Frènch Uov-ernment; and a§ a fèsült the negotiation! were finally ehtffisted to the French Ambassador at Washington.Another essential point ia the exact proposition made by Spain.There has been some misapprehension over thir, owiog to the publication of an alleged text of the proposition and oinel revolts fcaterting tljat Spain asked President McKinley to state terms c'f peace.As a matter of fact, the Spanish proposition does not mention the word terms and there ie no request or suggestion in it that the President shall state terms of peace.The distinct inquiry made by Spain ie as to whether the United States will opeh negotiations toward the Settlement, of the war and the arrangement of peafeei It ia based 00 (he theory that if the Fresident answer! ih the affirmative, then the negbtiations.for term* will be opened between Commiaaioners or parties clothed with the responsibility of bringing about à settlement.Neither does the Spanish proposition contain any reference to \u2018'armistice.\u201d At the same time itisframed on the idea that if peape negotiations are entered upon, there will be a suspension of hostilities pending an agreement upon the exact terms of peace.>n this connection, there appeara to be a distinction between the i^ord \"armistice\u201d and \"suspension of hostilities,\u201d for while it is said the former ia not asked or expected; it seems to be taken for granted that a suspension of hostilities will be essential to carrying forward the peace negotiations.The Spanish propoiition is clothed with ail the solemnity and formality of a Government act, despite the cable report from Madrid that the peace proposal is of a \"private\u201d nature.The instructions to M.Cambon bear the official signature of Duke Almodovar de Rio, Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, and besides expressing the desire of the Csbinet and Government that the peace negotiations be opened, they are given the added solemnity of approval and earnest personal request by Queen Regent Marta Cbtis-tiha.These formalities disrhis! all i|uesticfi ih the minds of officials here as to the regularity of the Spanish proposition; as expressive of the wishes of the Governorént of Bpain.Aside from this, M.Cambon is too much bf a vetkran in diplomacy to have embarked on any private overtures toward peace.As to the manner of conducting the peace negotiations, several plane are said to be open, besides that of having General Porter and Senor CaaliUo, the United States and Spanish Ambasssdors at Paris respectively, conduct them.One plan ia to have Spain name peace pleoij>otentiaries who will come directly to Washington and conduct negotiations.This, however, ie said to be somewhat ini xpedient, as ic would take nine days for the Spaoish plenipotentiarLs to reach Washington, and there iaa desire to avoid delay.Another tentative plan is to have Spain name M.Cambon ae the Spanish Plenipotentiary at Washington, thus conferring on him authority to treat directly with the President and carry the negotiations fotward to a conclusion.It ie probable that this plan will be more acceptable to the United Slates, as it would keep the negotiation! at Washington and also give them an agreeable personal character, as the authoritiei have the highest regard for the ability sod sinocr-it y of the French representative.These plane, however, will not be settled until the President gives his answer to the first inquiry made by Spain, as to the willingness of the Uoited States to enter open general negotiations for peace.Since the conference betwern the President and M.Cambon, both the French Government and the Spanish Government have the waf.- tb terms arc acceptable ilnd ÿèrhath to suggest counter terms.The yellotv fe4it conditions are being suggested as one reason favorable to iha conclusion of peace, for it ia being urged that the mateiial advantage! which the Uoited States will gain by continuing the war, will be heavily offset oy the inroads of disease, Another poiut being urged in fater of a peace settlement, is that the Aspect of the Waf Will be even more glorious, more a tribale to the high aims of thhi Government, if it deals in a spirit of magnanimftÿ with the conquered enemy.It also, that Spaifl !a do Completely and sopowerlese to further Cdfiti*We that the

took the view that \u201cthe best service that Canada can render to the Imperial defence is to bead her shore with Graving D>>ckfl of whichthe writer propoaes four in addition to the three we have at Halifax, Quebec and Esquimalt, one at Louisburg, one at Charlottetown, one at St.John and one at Port Simpson.In addition to doing more for the Imperial defences and giving more satisfaction to the Imperial authorities than it could by raising a permanent army or contributing squadron of ships to the navy, this scheme, says the Wittiess, has tho recom mendation, fascinating co Canadians, of involving a considerable expenditure of public money, nay, more, of British money also, through a political public works de partment.It is to be hoped that the works proposed are more really needed than one which was done for Ireland twenty-nine years ago,\twhen\tthe Haulbowline dockyard was built.\tThe first ship to be docked there entered the yard this year.Others ate to follow, hut not oven now, so far as appears, be cause the dockyard is needed, but for the same political reason for which it was built.Of course, the fact that a Graving Dock is never used is not absolute proof that it was unwise to build it.A man in sures his life in the earnest hope that it will be long ere he gets any good of his in vestment.If the work is where it might on an emergency be very much needed that may be reason enough for building it If, as our correspondent says, the British Government is not only prepared to re cognize these works as the best contribu tion wo can make to Imperial defence, but is willing to contribute a quarter of a million of dollars towards each of them, we seem to have the highest authority for regarding tbe woiks as needed from an Imperial point of view, in addition to which, besides the first expenditure, which is always delightful, the docks might perhaps be of occasional service to tho world\u2019s merchant marine, to Canada\u2019s advantage.\u201d It certainly does look as if the correspondent of the Witness would somewhat overshoot the mark in his proposal for such a long list of Graving Docks as are mentioned in his letter.* It may be pointed out, however» that unlike the Irish Graving Dock mentioned by our contemporary, that at Quebec has not only been in almost constant use since its construction, but has proved quite inadequate for the demands made upon it.More than once it would have been employed by other vessels had it not been already occupied.In the case of the S3.\u201cMilwaukee\" the other day, the dock could not have been utilized, no matter how badly it might have been needed.It was already in use by another steamer.Besides this, there are vessels now sailing to the St.Lawrence that cannot get into tho dock at all.It is too short for them.There ought to bo immediate steps taken to remedy the defect.The most desirable plan would be to construct a second dock here.If objection is made to this, the present dock should bo imme-diatelycxtended.Theideaof aGravingDock in Montreal is the sheerest nonsense.Even the s.s.\u201cPolynesian\u201d which was damaged within a few miles of where tho proposed dock is to be

STEAMER \"OTTER, COULDN\u2019T BUILD ONE SHIP I (To the Editor of the Morninq Chronicle.) Dear Sir,\u2014Once upon a tim*-, a good and noble Premier\u2014Sir John Thompnon\u2014 knowing that a line of Atlantic greyhound* were nece*aary for tho development aud the advertisement of Canada, called uoto himself a certain Mr.Huddard, and said unto him : \u2014\u201cFriend Huddard, get thee quickly across the ocean, and build me the dream of my life, and I will give unto thee much more than thy weight in golden shekel*.\u201d Huddard, full with the optimism of a school boy, Immediately accepted the contract, and left the g inial presence of the noble Premier to carry out his wish.On the other side of the Atlantic Mr.Huddard found himself faced by the hill of Difficulty, which had been fortified by the phlegmatic owners of the \u201ctortoise\u201d line*.Fear took possession of poor Huddard, therefore he threw himself prostrate at the foot of the bill, and gave up the ghost.Shortly afterwards the good and noble Premier started for the \u201cPearly Gates,\u201d to rest on Abraham\u2019s bosom, without having seen hla life\u2019s dream realized.Sir John Thompson was sncceeded by Sir Mackenzie Bowell, who promised nothing and who did even less.But there was no delightful rest In Abraham\u2019s bosom vouchsafed to friend Bowell.Instead, he was ruthlessly ridden over and maimed by the Cumberland \u201cwar horse,\u201d who, in promises, certainly made up for their lack in his predecetst r.Sir Charles Tupper was soon looked on as a perfect store house of promises.But his, was a bonded warehouse, whirs everyday was a holiday, which precluded the doors from being ever opened.' As sood as the people realized that there could be no delivery of his million promises, they arose in their sovereign might and kilUd him, without sending him to Abraham\u2019s bosom.The people then called on the heaven-gifted, silver-tongued, morally pure Wilfrid Laurier, to save and direct the country, and to spread proeperity and happiness within its borders ! When Wilfrid, the good, became Premier, ho probably ridiculed the cowardice of Huddard, who sat down and whined when he came to tho hill of Difficulty.Wilfrid, therefore, called a certain Mr.Petersen, who claimed that the \u201cbottle\u201d would yet conquer the world, or rather the waters of the earth.Petersen was duly presented with a beautiful contract and promised an abundant supply of \u201cfilthy lucre,\u201d it he would build the \u201cfast line.\u201d The then happy Mr.Petersen crossed the ocean, full of hope ; but on reaching the other side, the sight of the prostrate form of Eoor Huddard lying at the foot of the hill of lifficultj, was too much for him.He, too, gave up the ghost, and, as a fast-liner, died.Four Premiers have been in office since the first \u201cfast line\u201d contract was signed, and we have not even a mirage of a ship iu sight as yet.Wherca*, bad each Premier built simply oue vessel, the line would uow be carrying passengers to and from Europe, through our country, from the Western Stales, to the glory of Canada aud to the mortiticatiou and loss of the great city of New York.All eyes are now turned to Sir Wilfrid.Will he join Huddard and Petersen and make historic a «ad trio of frightened figures at the base of the hill ?Or will he step nimbly over the prostrate forms of Huddard and Petersen, boldly mount the \u201chill,\u201d and by plaoiug on its summit the ideal paper flag of a noninterest bearing currency, build the \u201cfast line'\u2019 for Canada, for England and for the world?Yours truly, W.E.Simpson.Levin, 27th July, 1898.Ladlss\u2019 Blouses\u2014All reduced.Large assortment iu all black, black aod white and colored, good value.4Sj.now «>9j.;

picturesque parts of Teviotdale, Scotland.Minto is mentioned by Sir Walter Scott in \u201cThe Lay of the Last Minetre!.*\u2019 The family is an ancient and honourable one.Two centuries ago it was song as\u2014 \u201cThe Elliot\u2019s, breave and worthy men.\u201d It is a family that can count among its kith and kin men who were \u201cinured to foreign and feudal quarrels,\u201d such as the redoubtable VVal o\u2019 Harden and Lorreston, lion of Liddes-dale, also the heroic little Jock Elliot, whose challenge of \u201cWhadaur meddle wi\u2019 me Î\u201d has been enwoven in song and adopted as the motto of the Border Mounted Volunteers Lord Heathfield, the illustrious defender of Gibraltar^ was a member of the olan, as was Admiral Elliot, the conqueror of Thurot.Distinguished as the Earl of Minto\u2019s kinsmen and clansmen have been on sea and land, noted politicians have also been among them.One was a Lieut.-Governor of New York before the revolution, and the first Earl of Minto was a Governor-General of India.The present Karl\u2019s brother was long a représenta live of Roxburgh in the House of Gommons.The beautiful and immoital Scottish song The Flowers of the Forest\u201d was from the pen of Miss Jane Elliot, another famous member of the family.The new Governor-General, while at Eton and Cambridge, was a famous athlete.In after life he has ridden and won many a steeplechase, and during hie stay in Canada won the name of being the best cross-country rider in the Dominion.His turf name was Mr.Rody.SEEN MUCH FIGHTING.The Earl of Minto began his military career when he was twenty two years of age, by ; oining the Scots Fusilier Guards.His Lord ship saw fighting long before he went to the North West Territories.He was in Paris during the bloody days of the C ommune, and acted as correspondent of the Morning Post during the Carlist rising in Spain, writing from the Carlist headquarters in Navarre.He was on the staff of General Lennox, the British military attache in the Turkish army, when the Russians bombarded Nickopuli, in 1878.He served a while with Riouf Pasha in the same campaign, and had several narrow escapes.He also served under Lord Roberts of Kabul and Kandahar, in the African war, and in the Egyptian war he was a Captain of I he Mounted Infantry.Ho fought at lel-el-iebir and commanded the Mounted Infantry at Cairo until it was disbanded.At the outbreak of the North-W est rebel* Hon, in the latter part of March, 1885, Lord Melgund was serving as Military Secretary of the Governor General, then Lord Lans-downe.He at once volunteered for service, and was appointed chief of staff by Major-General Miiidleton.He at that time held the rank of Major in the Border Mounted Volunteers, above alluded to.During the cam paign he was chit fly connected with the scouts.After reaching the front, General Middleton sent in a report, dated April 18, 1885, that Lord Melgund had gone out with Major Boulton and his scouts to reconnoitre, and had captured three Indians of VVhue Cap\u2019s band.At Fish Creek Lord Melgund was in charge of a section of the forces^ lying two miles from the scene of action, with the river intervening.A ferry was improvised by means of a wire rope, oars hewn out of the timber, and reached the field just as the battle was over.He continued chief of staff and had charge of the general arrangement, in camp Associated with him on the personal staff were Capt.Wise, A.D.C., Capt.E.Doucet, A.D.C., and Lieut.Freer, A.D.t.Just before the decisive engagement at Batoohe, Lord Melgund was sent back to Ottawa by General Middleton to lay the position of affairs before the Government, and ask for reinforcements.It was then thought that the affair was likely to be of longer duration than actually transpired, owing to the stubborn resistance of the enemy.Otherwise Lord Melgnnd would not have gone at all.Major Boulton, who was constantly associated with Lord Melgund during the rebellion, says in his history :\u2014 \u201cWe were sorry to lose him, for a more kind and gallant officer no troops ever served under.\u201d AN AMUSING ADVENTURE.Lord Melgnnd was the principal figure in a rather comical adventure while the force was encamped at Fish Creek.He had been outside of the line of sentries on some business or another and was returning at night.Challenged, instead of giving the steorotyped reply \u201cFriend,\u201d he gave his name.At this tbe sentry called out \u201cHalt,\u201d and bringing his rifle down to the ready position, cocked it by way of demonstrating that he was in earnest.His Lordship continuing to advance towards him, the sentry called out \u2018Halt and put up your hands, or 111 bore you full of holes.\u201d His Lordship saw that the mao was in earnest and put up his hands, the officer of the picquet was called out, and the General a Chief of Staff was admitted to the lines, but had to relate the story to his friends before turning in between his blankets.FOR MEN AND WOMEN.INSTRUO-tor and Director Walter Griffin, formerly of Fleury, near Barbizon, FraWOa.Painting, Drawing, Composition, in Oil» Water CdoF, Pastel.Season
