HALIFAX, Feb.2, 1886.An exciting meeting of the shareholders of the Nova Scotia Sugar Refinery was held to-day.The reports showed that the refinery is over half a million in debt to the Merchants Bank and the Government, The total liabilities, including capital and stock, are over $900,000, to meet which they have less than $200,000 worth of sugar on hand and the refinery plant.The Government was severely ar- -raigned for discriminating freights on the Intercolonial Railway, and for permitting undervaluation of sugars at the Montreal Custom House, thus placing the Halifax refiners ata tiemendous double disadvantage, These drawbacks, with theunprece- dented decline in sugar, had precipitated the smash.The case was mentioned of four cargoes of the same grade of sugar, shipped ~ by the same house in \u2018Jamaica, at the same time, two were for Montreal and two for Halifax, The Halifax men paid duty at the rate of twenty cents per 100 lbs, higher than the Montreal man, even after the case was fully explained to Minister Bowell, À committee was appointed to cooperate with the directors in endeavoring to float preferential stock aud to try to save the refinery from going to the block or falling into the hands of fur- eigners.- The air, both at Moncton and Halifax, is full of rumors of railway scandals and changes, It is now reported that a high official at Moncton has been dismissed and that certain important promotions are contemplated, QUEBEC.Mr.Tarte aud the Senatorsbip \u2014 The Street Passenger Railway\u2014The Quebec Fire Assurance Company\u2014A New Liberal

in the Superiur Court against the Union Bank of this city, calling upon it to account for the sum of $1,500,000, This action is believed to be the largest ever entered in the Law Courts of Quebec.It has been taken by Messrs.Gibson and Aylwin, in the name of Dame Georgiana Hall, wife of Dr.Smith, a prominent lawyer of Portland.Mrs, Smith is a daughter of the late G.B.Hall, of \u201contmorency Mills, and granddaughter of Peter Patterson, of the same Place, who left his entire estate, valued at over $1,000,000, to the children of Mr.G.B.Hall The Union Bank sued Mrs.Smith and other heirs of the Hall cstate some time ago for large amounts claimed to be due for advances to the estate by the Bank.Now Mus, Smith contends that the Patterson estate has been drawn upon by the Bank, or those acting in its behalf,\u201d to repay loans made by it Lo the Hall estate, The action now taken calls the Bank to account for the Patterson estate.The suit is contested by the Bank, for if Mrs, Smith should be successful in compelling the repayment of her share of her grand father\u201d, estate it is not improbable that all the heirs Hall will make similar claims, Mr, A.Thomson, President of the Bank, has for some years acted as manager of the Hall estate, withdrawing from that position, however, over a year ago.The directors of the Bank held a meeting last Light to discuss matters in relation to the suit.They held that it is an attempt to lace the Bank at a disadvantage before arliament, when the institution applies Or a reduction of 25 per cent.iu its capital.The litigation promises to be lengthened as well as costly and it is felt as un- Umely, the bank having suffered such \u20acavy losses in the North-West, as shown at the annual meeting, Messrs.Gibson ud Aylwin appear for the plaintiff aud Hon, Geo, Irving for the Bank.es A Mususe\u2019s FarE\u2014A citizeu, liviag iu the Enet end, has been in the habit lately Of baying unappreciated respects uf mash M82

never disturb them in their pussession of the Point and the whole matter would be quieted, The Samoans thereupon threw in their aid with Coe, only to find when the title was settled that he had transferred both title and land to Weber for a trifling monetary consideration and much \u2018love and affection.\u2019 \u201d \u201c Sharp practice,\u201d \u201c I should call it so, but worse remains behind.Weber beld his ownership in Mulinn Point over the King\u2019s head in terrorem.He used it with good effect for some time, but when the King refused to perform one piece of most abject submission, the \u2018 boss\u2019 called Consul Steubel to his aid and formally ejected the poor king and his retainers from their lon historical court.But the persecution did not end there.The elected king took refuge at the other extremity of Apia, and, 8s some attempt at maintaining his dignity, raised his standard over his temporary palace.In Going this, his unfortunate Majesty ran his head plump against an edict of Dr.Steubel\u2019s, which had been issued by that authority in consequence of some alleged insult offered by the Samoans to the German flag, and which declared with the air of mastership always assumed by the Germansin Samoa, that the Samoan flag should not be flown within the municipality of Apia.This edict was presented to the King, with an order that hisstandard should be lowered, The King had courage enough to refuse, whereupon Dr.Steubel immediately went on board the German gunboat Alba- troes, which happened to be lying in the harbor at the time, put his case before the commander, and was rowed back to shore, accompanied by a boat load of armed sailors.They marched to the King\u2019s head- \\ quarters,amidet great excitement,and there Steubel again commanded the King to haul down his flag, In doing so he used such violent and disrespectful language that the chiefs took up the quarrel, and told him he had no right to address an independent sovereign, who had the most solemn treaty relations with the government which the Consul represented, in such an insolent fashion.The Consuls of the United States and England also emphatically protested against Steubel\u2019s action, but to no purpose, The German Consul\u2019s ultimatum was that if the King refused to baul down the flsg the German soldiers should do it for him, The King refused and the German soldiers did haul it down and left it there in the dust.\u201d \u201cWhat is the political condition of the islands ?\u201d asked the correspondent, \u201c Most critical,\u201d answered Mr, Church.ward, \u201cA disaffected party has been nursed into existence, and I have no hesitation in saying that the German authorities are responsible for it-that they are, in fact, its foster parents, If asked what I considered the ultimate object of the fomentation to be, I should say a civil war, which would be taken by the Germans as a pretext for interference and annexation.Such a step, I feel confident, would meet with the most resolute opposition from both the British and United States Governments, and in my opinion both Steubel and Weber will think twice before attempting to precipitate any such coup d\u2019etat unless they have had orders to go ahead.It would, I should say, unquestionably produce diplomatic complications between Germany on the one side and England and the United States on the other.\u201d A despatch having been shown Mr, Churchward, dated Berlin, the 23rd inst,, and giving currency to the rumor of the proposed partition of the Samo:n Islands, that gentleman said:-.- \u201c That story is grossly absurd.Why, even were the scheme entertained by the three Powers, it would be found utterly impracticable.It is a physical impossibility, in fact, for the area on which the representatives of the three nations would be compelled to move and act is so small that they would be constantly treading on each other\u2019s diplomatic toes.Ag to the harbor

reputation of being a religious enthusiast, laid down to sleep.His wife was engaged in her domestic duties and his two children were playing on the floor.After sleeping for an hour Keffler sprang out of bed and told his wife he had been commanded by God in a vision to kill her and the children.He seized a hatchet a dealt her three blows on the head and thinking he h-d finished her turned his attention to the children.They had run out of doors and while he was searching for them his wife managed to make her way to a neighbor\u2019s house.A number of men soon surrounded and captured Keffler

Donald A.Smith to a banquet which took place last night at the St.James Club, |The invitation was prompted by a desire to mark, in the manner customary among gentlemen, their sense of the services which Sir George Stephen and Mr, Smith have rendered to Canada, more particularly by their courage and enterprise in the great railway undertaking with which their names wiil ever be associated.We have so frequently expressed our opinion about this work and those who have performed it, that any laudation on our part is now unnecessary.The incredulity with which their promise to construct the railway within the time allowed them was heard is well known to all Canada; the opposition they met with, the difficulties they overcame have become historical, and the respect that has grown from an observance of their perseverance and determination ledge was made manifest to full their t the earlie opportuuity.er THE MACAULAY TIMBER LIMIT.The Toronto Mail's ingenuousness is not quite on a par withitsability.It returns to the case of the timber limit granted to Mr.W.J.Macaulay, and says this was not given by Sir John Macdonald in 1872, but by Mr.Mackenzie in 1874.We have already explained the facts of this case, but our valued contemporary in its zeal, lest that which was a com- f mendable action in itself might be construed against its party, quotes \u2018the following extract from a report made by the Hon.R.W.Scott to the Privy Council, on April 14th, 1874 :\u2014 \u201cOn the petition of W.J.Macaulay, Rsq., for a grant of a timber limit of 100 square miles in area on the eaat shore of the Lake of the Woods, applied for by him on the 13th April, 1872, the Hon.Mr.Scott, acting in the absence of the Minister of the Interior, in & memorandum dated 13th January, 1874, states as follows :\u2014 \u201c Mr.Macaulay applied for limits on the nerth-east shore of the Lake of the Woods, on 13th April, 1872, and was informed that in consequence of the Indian title not having been extinguished over tbat part of the country his application could not be entertained.\u201d This looks conclusive, but a journal so well informed as the Mail must know that it is entirely deceptive.The particular limit that Macaulay claimed was denied him, and he was told to look for others, and these would in all probability have been granted him by Sir John Macionald; that is, assuming that there is any faith in man : had SirJobn remained in power.As it happened Sir John went out before the claims of rival explorers had been settled and Mr, Mackenzie consented, though it must be admitted, not without some urging, to redeem Sir John\u2019s promise.If the Mail were to examine very closely into the personality of the various claimants with whom Macaulay was, or believed himself to be, at issue, we think our contemporary would hardly care to keep the corpse of this case in view.out of this instance of whatever either side may please to call it, and the Mails friends certainly will not gain much by trying to galvanize it.Mr.Cameron cannot make much \u2014 \u2014\u2014 MB.NORQUAY ON THE BALLIT.Mr.Norquay, the Premier of Manitoba, evidently believes in the adage, what is sauce for the goose.speech at Deloraine, he defended his objection to voting by ballot and said * he \u201cthought it mattered little whether a \u201c man voted openly or by ballot, so long \u201c as he was not deprived of his vote.In the course of his In- \u201c dividually, he had always;preferred open \u201c voting to ballot voting.That was, \u201c however, just his individual preference.\u201c His constituents watched him very closely \u201cwhat he said and how he voted, \u201c and he thought he should have the same \u201c right, at least to watch them vote.If it \u201c robbed a man a single vote, or deprived \u201c a man of his franchise ; if we were in a \u201c position where ballot voting was a ne- ¢ conaity, where arbitrary influence was Winmtrea, Mau, Feb, 2.\u2014The Winnipeg Board ot Trade has passed the following resolution : \u201cThis Board desires to express its dissatisfaction, notwithstanding represeuta- tions made during the past two years by the Board of Trade to the General Manager of the Can dian Pacific Railway, that the discrimination of rates of freight against Winnipeg mat-rially affected the wholesale business of this city, there have been no steps taken to relieve us of this reat injustice, which is seriously retarding the growth of our cily\u2019s legitimate interest as a distributing centre ; \u201c Resolved,\u2014That this Board recommends that the city of Winnipeg, for its protectivn, offers a liberal bonus to any railway company which will give this city independent connection with a railway system other than the Canadian Pacific Railway, and that the City Council be memorialized to take steps for the carrying out of the spirit of this resolution.\u201d If our memory is not greatly at fault, what Winnipeg wholesale merchants really asked was that the Canadian Pacific should discriminate in their favor, and against all the towns of the North-West beyond Winnipeg.This immodest request natu - rally excited much indignation everywhere except in Winnipeg.Allowance, however, should be made for Winnipeg\u2019s ambitious views, and the principle of taking care of one\u2019s self should not be too severely discouraged.It is better to have Boards of Trade such as Winnipeg\u2019s than have commercial communities without the spirit to make a complaint or preseat a grievance.Still, Winnipeg cannot expect to have the whole world for a prey; nour should it be encouraged to regard itself as the centre of the railway system of the Dominion.SUGAR TROUBLES IN HALIFAX.The affairs of the Nova Scotia sugar refinery were under discussion by the shareholders yesterday.It transpired, according to a special telegram in another column, that the refinery owes the Merch ants Bank of Halifax \u201cand the Government \u2019\u2019 over $500,000.How the refinery can owe the Government we fail to understand.The matter calls for explanation.Our correspondent intimates that the shareholders, yesterday, charged the Customs Department with per- mitling undervaluation of raw sugars imported at Montreal, but it is difficult} to believe that there has been auch discrimination.Mr.Bowell\u2019s position ga Minister of Customs is an exceed ingly difficult one under a policy of protective duties, but it is generally admitted that he has been as fair and just as the laws permitted.The shareholders soem to blame the Government in this connection, in a measure, for the company\u2019s troables, and they also blame the Government railway for imposing dis- eriminating freight rates, injurious to the Halifax refiners.The business community generally will regret the financial difficulties in which this enterprise is involved.Tux WATER QUESTION.\u2014\u201c A Well- Wisher of Montreal \u201d challenges some of Superintendent Lesage\u2019s statements in re- < gard to the quantity of rater obtainable \u201c exercised, it would be different; but | for fire purposes in the business portion of alleged irregularities.A telegram f.om the same quarter, last evening, says the air is full of rumors of such changes, actual or impending, and mentions that a high official at Moncton has actually been dismissed.These reports appear to have reached Ottawa, as the press telegram, last night, contains the following statement :- It is reported here that certain irregularities and frauds have come to light in connection with the Intercolonial minage- ment.A rumor has it fhat Mr.C.Schrieber and another prominento ficials of the road had sent in their resignations, Eaquiries at the department failed to elicit any information asto the nature or extent of the irregularities, or to afford any grounds for supposing tac ruiz tu be well founded.?\u2019 Tae resignation of Mr.Schrieber is denied, Rumors of the kind referred to, when 80 wide spread, shouid be either promptly denied at Qitawa or the ficts, whatever they are, placed before the public, and this in justice both to the officials and the public.Pending an authoritative statement, the well known integrity of all the prominent officers of the Intercolonial should induce a suspension of judgment.etree Tae Jesuir Esrarxs.\u2014In another column will ba found a communication relative to the negotiations that are reported as going on between the Provincial Government and the Jesuit Fathers In reference to = © ln fur a large amount of property, mule by the latter,\u2014pro- perty which was confiscated to the State several generations ago.The revival of this claim has created uneasiness in various quarters.The proceeds of the property were, by due form of law, appropriated to the colleges, schools, convents, etc., of the Province; and as Quebec has no means of recouping the Jesuits except by making thes: institutions to pay back the sums Lhey received out of these monies the public may not be disposed to entertain any propositiva having such an end in view.The writer maintains that no just claim to these estates can possibly be set up at this day, the whole question having been irrevocably closed anywhere from eighty to a hundred and twenty years ago.The manner in which the Provincial Government will treat a question of such delicacy and magnitude will be watched with universal interest, etl TEE LOTBINIERE ELECTION, \u2014 The Liberals had a narrow escape in this local election.The influences operating against them are described as of the most formidable character.It appears that a gigantic and most determined effort was made to carry the constituency, not for the Provincial Government only, but in the interests of the Quebec Ministers in the Dominion Cabinet.It is claimed that all that money and patronage and promises of a corrupt character could accomplish was employed, and that so sure of victory were the Government

premises, or any portion thereof, for the purpose of drying cotton, and was cotton in and Upon said 1nsured premises during said period of time in connection with said drying?How long was it intended to dry cotton on said premises and in what quantity, and was the use of the premises for that purpose gratuitous ?Was such presence and drying of cotton an alteration in the use of the insured premises ?Was said alteration of use, if any, consented to bs defendant ?D.d said alteration of use increase the risk ?The following are the names of the juror::\u2014F.Larin, P.Labelle, J.W, Picken,

description of ihe circular room which was used for dry wool, wool sacks, bagging, hair, etc., when they were wet or damp.Not to his kuowledge did they ever dry cotton.They usea oil sometimes with leather, but it was a non-combustib\u2019e oil called parrafine, For the engine and machinery, cylinder oil was used.The dryer was & large box 49 feet long by 15 inches width aud at a distance from the ground of about 33 feet, the wire screen on which the article to be dried was placed, was laid.The box was of wood and heated by a coil ot steam pipes under the wire screen.A woodeu pariition separated the drying room from the adjacent one in which wae the former for sucking air into the dry room.Witoess never knew of any fire being made in the drying room On the day of the fire cotton was drying in the room.Did not know how long it had been there as this room was not under his department.He arrived at the scene of the fire when about two streams were playing on it.ames Wright, architect, was then examined, He said he was one of three valuators engaged to assess the damage by the fire The other two were Messrs.Martin and Ruthertord.They decided to lay the damage, after examination, at something over $7,500 on the two buildings destroyed.The fire was the most fierce in the engine room.Mr.Rutherford then corroborated these statements.Mr.A.M.Cassils, leather merchant, who was referee at the arbitration on the value of the stock which was saved, the arbitrators being I.Eckroyd and J.Bowen, of Quebec.They decided that something over $12,000 was what the saved stock

next took the stand.\u201d His evidence was to the effect that the inventory of stock shown 1n the court was pertly in his writing and partly that of the book-keeper, Mr.D.Couillard.He measured the etock in his handwriting and the items in those of that ot the bookkeeper were furnished by him and all were correct, Mr.D.Couillard corroborated the evidence of the above witness.Knew of goods

the inventory.The entire stock was worth about $37,000.Deduction on account of sales between stock-taking and the fire reduces the amount to $22,244.83, the total amount of loss on the stock.Cross-examined\u2014The valuators appointed after the fire made the amount about $6,000 less.Mr.T.Eckrovd was the next witness.the business.valuator to stock saved.The amount awarded was $12,381.32, He considered the values 1a the plaintift\u2019s inventory fair.The Court then adjourned for recess.In the afternoon a number more witnesses were examined, and from the number of witnesces that are to be called on both sides, the case will evidently be a long one.Dr.Baker Edwards was in court, and wiil no doubt be examined on the spontaneous combustion basis.The case was cootinued until

They were too often deceived.At the risk of creating great surprise, I affirm that the massacres ware not committeed without previou prevocation.I here invoke the testimony of one of the victims himeelf.The Rev.Father Forfard said, in conversation with another missionary, who in turn related it to me :\u2014\u2018Such a one (naming an official) acts with shameful brutality towards the Indians, He will be killed some day.The person alluded to was killed, and two devoted missionaries increased the number of victims they were striving to protect.A gentleman whose veracity 1 cannot question assured me that some Indians had told him in 1884 that an individnal, whom he mentioned, ¢ treated them like aogs,\u2019 and the same individual was killed by the Indians who had lodged the complaint against him.I state these particulars, so painful to relate,\u201d says the Archbishop, ¢ because the ahove are not the only exceptions to \u201cthe considerate treatment to which the poor Indiane have 8 moral claim,\u201d TOTALLY UNQUALIFIED MEN were assigned to important posts while others perfectly apt have been dismissed or left aside because tem, fifteen, or twenty Eo before they were political op ponents.\u201d e shows how necessary to successful government of the Indians and the settlers are tact, kinduess, and sympathy, and how those whe substitute ¢ coarseness and arrogance \u201d for these qualities must fail in maintaining the prestige of authority.THR RISING DUB TO THE OFFICIALS.Mr, Cameron, who spent msny years among the Indians about Battleford, contended that ¢¢ the Indian uprising was in a great measure due to the character of the instructors and agents appointed by the Government.If the Government officials had been the right kind of men the u rising would never have taken place.La many cases their treatment of the Indians was calculated to have a most injurious effect\u2014some of them TREATING THE INDIANS LIKE DOGS, never speaking to them without an oath, and paying no regard whatever to their word.\u201d The rev.gentleman remarked that it would spoil good Indians to make them like some of the Indian Department offi~ cials who are over them and supposed to be civilizing them.Mr, Cameron\u2019s statements were coufirmed by Rev.Messrs.Robertson, Flett and other Indian mis- gionaries, who maintained that the Indian revolt was in a great measure due to the character of the Government officials sent amongst them, THE REV.JOHN M\u2018LEAN\u2019S OPINION, \u201c The causes of the present discontent among the Indiaos are legion.Some of the men employed by the Department on the reservations have been granted their positions through political influence, even though they have been utterly incompetent for the respective duties of their office.They receive good salaries and vet the Indians derive very little benefit from their services.Promises have been made to the Indians by Government officials that have never been kept, The Department has professed to give these people food enough to sustain them, yet at different times their rations have been cut down.\u201d PLUNDERING THE SUPPLIES, When asked;to define some of the acts of injusiice towards the Indians, Mr.Mac- dougall said :\u2014\u201cI haven*t investigated thoroughly, but I believe there bas been systematic plundering in the manipulation of Iudian supplies.Besides, every movement to teach the Indian industry has been knocked ou the head by the de- rtment.Near my home there is a arge quantity of timber, which would make rails, fuel, etc.I indueed the Indians to cut quantities of this, and promised to find a market for them.For some time I was unable to do so, and as they wanted supplies 1 gave them orders on my brother, who keeps a store.The first thing I knew was that a demand was made upon :0e for stumpage by an officer of the department.The timber belonged to the Indians and was cut by them, and my efforts to help them were thus hindered, for I could.,\u2019t afford to pay the fees demanded\u201d On being asked what he thought of the liquor permit system, he characterized it as A DISREPUTABLE FRAUD, not fairly or impartially administered.4 The very idea of my having to ask another person for permission to have liquor is obnoxious.am a teetotaller, and don\u2019t need it nor ask for it; its the prio, ciple I speak of.The system has worked a great injury and wrong.We should éither have prohibition or a change of some kind.I don\u2019t like the licerse sye- tem ; but here we are supposed to be in a prohibition country, and yet under the working of the system we ara merely THE MONTREAL HERALD AND.DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3 letting the fence down for the bringing in of the vilest kind of stuff.\u201d THE REV.NR.TRIVETT SAYS the present system should be abolished because it encourages emuggling, and the liquor that is smuggled is the worst that cau be had, whereas if a man could get a good glass of ale he would prefer it to the vile decoctions that can be purchased in hundreds of the petty shops in this part of the North-West, It DOESN'T STOP DRINKING, aad never will, but encourages smuggling.The old nature of Eve is etill present in the unregenerate.\u201d\u201d But to return to the Indians.What we want on our reserves are married men as employes, and a few hundred dollars exp-nded in putting up houses for them would psy in the end.Aud, let me say, get Christian men ; thank God, there are such to be found ; and don\u2019t employ a man because some influential man down east wants to get a situation fir him.Agaiu, put a stop to white men liviog with Indian women unless they are lawfully married to them.Where are the young girls of 13 to 16 that have been partly taught in our schools; aud others efore them ?GIRLS SOLD TO WHITE MEN for from $10 to $20! Where are their children?Running about the reserves wearing rags! Where are the women themselves?They are prostitutes hanging around the towns.Stop the sale of Indian girls to white men and another great step is taken.\u201d pres {[COMMUNICATED.] THE JESUITS\u2019 ESTATES.An item in the telegrams from Quebec to the effect that the Provincial authorities ere negotiating with the ecclesiastical authorities for a settlement of this question revives interest in the matter.It is well, therefore, that the public should know all about the claim if any exists.Early after the settlement of Canada a number of Jesuits came to Canada.Their self-denying duties as missionaries is a well known fact in the early history of our eountry.Their labors were continned until the conquest, 1763.In 1774 they were suppressed by a Royal decree and Ztheir property was confiscated, except what the surviving few might need for a comfortable subsistence during their natural lives.The last of their number died in 1800.The following schedule of their property in 1787 may be found in the 33rd volume of the Journals of the House of Assembly of the Province of Lower Canads, 5 George IV.,¢.e., session of 1824 : 1.Six superficial arpents on which the Quebec college and church are erected, given for the inetruction of the French inhabitants.2.The two Lorettes or Seigniory of St.Gabriel.3.The Peninsula of Lavacherie, 4.Sillery, near Cap Rouge.5.Belair.6.Capede Magdalene,near Three] Rivers.7.Batiscan.8.The Island of St.Christophe, near Three Rivers.,9.Laprairie de la Magdelaine.10.A piece of ground at St, Nicholas.11.Eleven arpents of ground at Pointe Levi.12.The Iele au Ruaux below the Isle of Orleans.: 13.Six arpents at Tadousac.14.The Fief Pacheriguy near Three Rivers.15.Another lot at the same place.16.A remnant of ground exteading to a small river near Lake St.Peter.17.A number of lots in Quebec City\u2014 now built upon and many used as public \"streets.18.The ground used by the Church aad Mission House of Montreal-\u2014&c., &c.\u2014 The above properties were held in trust by the Jesuits for educational and religious purpos es, becomes the property of the Crown, Had the Jesuits not bsen suppressed in 1744 their property would have become the property of the Crown at ihe decease of the bast Jesuit in 1800.In 1789 there were oaly four living.As a fact, all the property of the Jesuits who seized by the Crown in 180) by the Sheriff of Quebec, and the document is enrolled in the Ist Register of Letters Patents and Commis- aions, folio 446, Quebec,March 8, 1800.The whole amount of the Jezuits lands was48,000 acres in the district of Montreal, 439,000 in the district of Three Rivers, 129,500 in the district of Quebec.The value of their property was then estimated at tw o to three millions of dollars.Up to the year 1831 the revenues on these estates appear to have gone into the general reveaue of the province.And portions of the revenue from the year 1821 were appropriated for educational purposes.: In 1831 the assembly§passed the Actl William 4, providing that all the monies arising out of the estates should be kept apart and applied exclusively to the purposes of education.The revenues from the date of the act have been divided among the grammar schools, academies,nunneries, convents and colleges of Quebec.Under the decision of the Attorney General, the Kinz\u2019s Council and legal advieers in 1790, the King took legal possession of this property in 1800.By conquest and the treaty of cession, ¢ the definitive treaty \u201d\u201d of 1763, the King of England acquired absolute and unconditional jurisdiction over the Jesuits estates.By confiscation and escheat of the property on the death of the last surviving Jesuit in 1800, the Crown became absolute owner of the property.No ecclesiastic has had any right or title tothe property eince 1774.The title of the Jesuits\u2019 property is vested in the General of that order, The Jesuits in France, in the 16th and 17th centuries, hal vo legal title to property.All the title existing was vested in the General at Rome.He, being an\u2019 ttalian and an alien not under allegiance to the King of France, could hold no real property eithér in France or its colonies.This was the law of France ia 1763, up to the conquest.And the law of Ekgland was the same at the date of, or after the conquest.Besides, in the first Bull obtained by the As a derelict a vacant estate Jesuits from Pius V in 1571, the society is declared to be a mendicant society, and \u201ccannot possess real property, but lives by unfailing alms,\u201d &c.The Bulls of Gregory XIII, 1576 and 1582, vested all property in the Father General.So, it is clear that there exists no ecclesiastical authority in this country which has any lezal or equitab'e claim to any part of the Jesuits\u2019 estates, HEADACHE.If you ruffer from Headache you may be sure that your Stomach, Liver or Blood is at fault, and perhaps all three are combined ia bad action.If ao, the best rem

Health Officer of Pointe Clair, the action was dismissed.The case of Dr.Godfroi Madore was then called.He was accu-ed of haviug, contrary to the instructions of the Central Board of Health, sent a smallpox infected patient to Montreal.The chief witness for the prosecution was Dr.Laberge and J.Duncan.The Court considered it clearly proven that he was guilty of the charges for which he had been arrested.He was fined $20 and costs.He paid the fine.Alfred Labrecque was accused of refusing vaccination.He pleaded guilty and was fined $10 or five days\u2019 imprisoninent.The Court then

it.The medical offi ers of the Board are to be instructed to visit such municipalities® a8 the Secretary deems require their attention.Dr.Laberge reported that vaccination was progressing rapidly in Le Bon Pasteur, THE BULLETIN, St.Martin,\u2014It is reported that the board at this place is only such in name, and has simply been appointed to avoid a prosecution for contempt of the law, The

practitioners.St.Francois de Sales.\u2014A Board of Health has'at length been formed of gentlemen why, it is expected, will see to 1t that the law ig carried out.The placard has been tora off

BARBER 8HOP.Messrs.Couture & Degaune\u2019s Barber Shop Badly Damaged.Last evening, about 7.50 o'clock, an alarm was rung from box No, 5, for a fire \u2018which burst out in the ceilizg of Couture & Deganne\u2019s barber chop, 114 St.Francois Xavier street.The firemen arrived promptly on the scene and found they had to deal with & tough sort of blaze, a fire 1n the ceilings and walls.The barber shop is on the first floor, and it was not long before the fire passed up to the floor above, of an untenanted room.It also worked through the southern wall to the hall-way, and under its floor, and across into the opposite wall and ceiling, above the offices of the Confederation Life Association, and the London and Lancashire Iusurauce Company.The fire here was confined to the uorth-west corner of the ceiling, and wag successfully combatted by the firemen, but not before a large portion of the ceiling was destroyed and the whole \u2018 office deluged with water and plaster.Most of the papers and furniture were saved by the covers of the Salvage Company.Next door, north of the barber shop, is Cox\u2019s engraving and litnographic store, which was considerably damaged by water.The famity of Mr.Sullivan, the caretaker of the building, had an exciting time, as they lived in the top storey of the building, and the smoke forced them to grab their children irom their beds and ruu through the passage, which was already blazing.[he building is owned by Mr.F.Judah, and is divided almost entirely among offices, The damage is estimated at about $2,000.Mr.Cox\u2019s store is insured for $500.Sergeant Desjardins and Officer Naegele, of the Patrol, were on band with their crew and the two notified the proprietors of the stores of the occur: rence, The origin of the fire is unknown.=

parallel in the history of the same class of undertakings.It is not my intention, or is it necessary that I should allude to the brilliant career of our two guests.Permit me to say, however, that Sir George Stephen has distinguished hims:If as a merchant, as a banker, and as a manufacturer, and the Hon.Mr, Smith as a banker and the head of one of the greatest enterprises of our time.Although this banquet is a private one, confined to the members of St.James\u2019 Club, yet the most importnt interests, not only of the city, but of the Dominion, are represented here this evening.The banking interest, the mercantile 1ntereat, the shipping interest are all represented by the most respected men of the city, and the Duminion is represented by two of our statesmen and members of the House of Commous.The Chairmau then went ou to show how the work of the Canadian Pacire had been furthered and liberally supported by the two distinguished guests of the-evening, and emphasized strongly the liberality and courage which they displayed in the carrying out of this great work.He also, in a most feeling manner, congratulated Sir George Stephen on the honor which the Sovereign had accorded to him, and said 1t was the wish of all to see a like title adornivg Mr.Smith.He then proposed the toast of the evening to the guests which was drunk with acclamation.SIR GEORGE STEPHEN said he was exactly in the position of one in the stories: When he got on his feet to make a speech he generally found he had forgotten what he wished to say.He said it would be affectation to say that he was not affected oy this demonstration on the part of friends, and he was much aftected by the remarks on the honor conferred upon him by Her Majesty.The honor wus one, he could truly say, he did not expect, aud which he couid assure them he had not sought, When it was represented to him tnat Her Majesty had requested personally that he should accept this title in commemoration of the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway, he had done so, and be was rejo:ced 10 find he had acted as his friends would bave wished.His old friend, the chairmao, to-night, had spoken of him in à way which would require to be modified, The railway enterprise could not have been carried through bat for the co-operation of his friends, and what Mr, Smith had done for the Cuuadian Pacitic Railway would perhaps never bs known by the public, but known as the facis were by hum (Sir Gzorge) he could ssy that but for Mr.Smitu\u2019s co-operation there would have been no railway to the Paciic.He also wished to cay a word about another geatle- waa present, Mr.Van Horne, but for whose uutiring exertions the work would Lave been _ d.fficult indeed.Leaving these personal matters he wouid ray a word about the railway it- seit.Tue contract with the Government wag practically finished, though uot quite so.Halifax has yet to te reached by the shortest pos-ible route.As his friend, Mr.Allau, would teil thew, by steamship connection it will be reached in five days from Eugland, and in twelve days in all Mr.Van Horne will laud the European passenger on the Pacific coast.The aiffi- culty in the west would easily be met if be could secure the co-uperation of the geatlemen gathered around the table this evening, Before sittiug down he expressed the pleasure he felt at seeing two mem bers of the Cabinet present.Mr.White, if he were not sworn to secrecy, could tell them that he was now trying to get a situation out of him, but that as yet is a State tecrët.(Cheers.) After the applause which followed this speech Lad subsided, HON.MR.SMITH arose aruid renewed npp'uure.He re- ! Father Rhulmann pronounced his final VOWS.marked that after what had be.n said so well by his friend Sir George, there was | can ~\u2014 AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY.FEBRUARY 3.little remaining for him to say.He felt sadly out of place in the position in which be found bimself by the kind indulgence of friends.No one possibly know, as he did.how much Sir George had done in carry- Ing through this great work of completing the Cavadian Pacific Railway from ocean to ocean.He knew that it hed not only heen au anxious time with him, but that it had been such as to be almost too much for any mau to bear, and if he [Mr.Smith] had not given his poor assistance to him in so far as possible, he should have had cause to be more ashamed of himself, He had known Sir George Stephen intimately fur these twenty years past, and in that time there had never been a trace of ill feeling between them.Mr.Smith said it was his duty to mention that he had received at the hands of Sir John Macdonald and Sir Charles Tupper the grea\u2018est consideration and kinduess in connection with the enterprise, and he wished especially to say so there that evening, and he was glad to have had the opportunity of doing so.Many tr.euds had proved themselves true friends in this matter, and he thought he had cause tor the greatest gratification in the manger in which these gentlemen and the Government bad actei towards him throughout.He spoke oot for bimeself alone, but for his colleagues and for the late Vice-President and General Manager, Mr.Van Horne, who had played important parts in this great work, There was oue otner point to which he might possibly lay claim, a right that his friend Sir George Stephen would not be dissatisfied with 1t if he referred to it.It was he (Mr.Smith), who first introduced lim to the North-West country, and it was fortunate for him [Mr.Smith] aad for Sir George as well, that between them they found there a country not excelled by any other sectios of the Continent.With regard to Manitoba and Dakota, this section of the North-West was a wilderness only about 20 years.ego, and now it one of ihe finest agricultural sections of the world, When you had gone at that time 100 wiles from St.Paul's, there was not a bushel of wheat grown, while it yielded this year, he believ.d, 40 million bushels or so.Then there was a railway running for only about 50 or 80 miles, while now that railway runs 1,600 or 1,800 miles, and one of the best railways in the country.This country also produces cattle and agricultural products in proportion.The same increase is perceived in Minnesota.Mr.Smith then remarked that many of his friends had spoken in terms of regret because of his not receiving a title, but he assured them .that he was quite eatisfied to continue with the name by which he had been knowua by many of them for the last 35 yeare, aud he thanked the Chairman for hie remarks as to the moral support he had given to the Canadian Pacific enterprise.The speaker was applauded at various stages in his addtess aud sat down amid loud cheering.There were then loud calls from all parts of the room for MR.YAN HORNE, who fiaally responded and spoke briefly.He thanked the Chairmaa for associating Lie name with this great enterprise, the Canadian Pacific Railway.He had done everything in his power to promote the success of the enterprise, He had traveled over it and Inspected it from Montreal to the Pacific, and he had the greatest faith in its future success.The enterprise bad been surrounded with difficulties, but they had been overcome by the zeal, courage and perseverance of the gentlemen at the | head of it, and he felt assured it would develop into a great success, both in a financial and national point of view.[Cheers.] Mr, Charles Cassils, being called upon for a song, sang \u2018\u2018Scotland yet,\u201d iu his best voice, eliciting great applause, The Chairman explained that although only three toasts had been set down on the programme, yet there was no objection to anyone proposing a toast and he deputed Hon, Mr.Smith to offer one.Mr.Smith, after a few appropriate ;remarks, proposed the health of the members of the Ministry present, Hon.Mr.White and Hon.Mr.Chapleau.HON.MB.CHAPI.EAU then rose and remarked that he had been told that the subject of politics was forbidden in the club rules, and he asked the Chairman how he expected a man would have to speak 23 days hence on no other subject.He gaid that the Government, of which he and Mr.White were members, had done their best for the interests of the railway enters prise.He spoke warmly of the Opposition, sayiog that he did not despise the arguments of his opponents except when they said that the aid extended to the enterprise would bring the country into financial difficulties.The railway was not calculated to ruin the country.He said that in olden times the barons obtained their honors for having fought bravely and conquered, and the Queen in this instance had acted in harmony with this idea, as Sir George Stephen had efteetually conquered the ditticuities that lay ia the way of opening ap and civilizing the North-West.He claimed that Canada was abundantly able to help rerselfin all matters, not requiring aid from any other country, Mr.Chapleau spoke at length, and we are obliged to eay that * while his speech contained some good points, it violated the principle lail down by the chairman when ne stated that the rules of \u201c64 manner in which iiis health had been received, declared that at that late hour he would make a single remark : that while agreeing with the encomiums passed upon the guests of the evening for their perseverance and zeal and the successful result of their great national enterprise, he noticed that previous speakers had omitted to refer to the charitable and benevolent spirit exhibited by Bir George and the Hon.Mr.Smith ; that these gentlemen, in their success in accumulating fortunes for themselves, had not forgotten the less fortunate of the city in which they lived ; and tbat among the many evidences of this spirit he would simply mention one which came within his own observation.He said that during the recent troubles, when the 65th Regiment were ordered to the front, many of them left behind them families unprovided for, and each of these gentlemen, the guests of the evening, seut him a check for $5,000 towards the fund to sustain the families in the absence of their bread winners.And when the trouble was over and the heads of the families had returned, and it was found that all the monies were not needed, these gentlemen handed him a further cheek for the relief of sufferers by the epidemic that prevailed at the time, He looked on the enterprise as one in which Montreal was deeply interested.The Mayor concluded his speech amidst great applause.¢ God Save the Queen \u201d was then sung with great enthusiasm, and the meeting broke up.pt AMUSEMENTS, Academy of Music The Montefiore Club of this city will present this evening, st the Academy of Music, the great play of _¢¢ Separation,\u201d with a powerful cast.An immense amount of labor has been spent in briuging its representation as near perfection as possible, and Mr.Neil Warner has beeo untiring in his endeavors to make ita success.Thue houre, we are certain, will be full even to \u201c standing room,\u201d as the praisewort hy object of the Montefiore Club ia devoting the whole proceeds in aid of the building fund of the English.German and Polish New Synagogue appeais to the sympathy of every resident of Montreal.he well known liberality of those of the Hebrew faith amongst us has become an established fact, and it is to be hoped that the funds of the Synagogue wiil be very largly augmented by the Montefiore Club this evening.¢ DAD\u2019S GIRL.\u201d Oa Monday next Miss Lizzie May Ulmer will make her first appearance in Montreal in the above named piay.Ic speaking of a recent performance in that city the Manchester [N.H.] Union says :\u2014 \u201c Dad\u2019s Girl is not altogether a one part play, though written expressly for the eculiar histrionic abilities of Lizzie May lmer.The piece has several good parts, and the company is kept busy in evolving an entertaining and interesting story.Miss Ulmer has a character in \u201cMulvina Sophie Hoskins,\u201d which she invests with a charming vivacity aud freshness, mingled with a good bit of effective pathos.This actress aims within her powers, and she is growing.Her efforts are always faithful and painstakiag, and her company, also, never fails to put forth an honest effort.The new piece is full of merit and overflowing with power to please.\u201d A Night With the Old Taque Bleue.A MOST ENJOYABLE EVENING WITH THE BOYS AT TH ACADEMY.The Academy of Music was filled to overflowing, last evening, by the beauty, chivalry and ton of Montreal, it being the occasion of what has now come to be looked for as one of the most pleasant annual events of the winter season, a regular snowshoe concert, given by the members of the famous old Tuque Bleue, At these recurring musical festivals (he snowshoe boys do not pretend to render music as we have it iu Italian opera, but simply give a realization cf their entertainments on the usual tramping nights, when blanket-clad they hie themselves over the summit of old Mount Royal and gather themselves in the cozy club house, and entertain each other with snowshoe song and chorus ; aud as one looked, last evening, on the sturdy forms of the gallant wearers of the blue tuque, grouped in true snowshoe style on the stage of the Academy, he was carried over space and felt himself at Cote des Neiges, enjoying himself with the ** nerrie\u201d knights of the shoe, To use a hackneyed expression, last night\u2019s concert was \u201ca grand success,\u201d the boys simply out-doing themselves in the capital programme prepared and the excellent style in which the various numbers were rendered.The curtain wert up on a street scene, with the snowshoers gathering in frout of their club house preparatory to indulging in one of their weekly tramps, the club singing a capital chorus (composed by one of our young local celebrities) entitled \u201c Tramping Across the Snow.\u201d The chorus was received with great applause.Before the echoes had died away the scene changed, and we saw the well- known \u201cgully\u201d of the mountain track, up which the boys weut tramping to the music of capital selections rendered by the orchestra.Again the scene changes, aud we are in the club prohibited everything of a re-; ligious or political character from being discussed within the walls of the club house.After extending his congratula- | tions to ihe guests of the evening he almost immediately diverged into a political speech, thinly veiled, and referred to the difficulties tne Government bad to meet aud attempted to justify the administration for recent occurences in the North-West.Many gentlemen present felt that he had violated the privileges of a Club member, and his actions thereon would have Leen reseuted by several gentlemen present, but for the deference dre to the occasion and the guests.Mr.Chapleau\u2019s action\u201d was very different from the cour:e purau Mr.White, P ol by HON, THOMAS WHITE delivered a very appropriate speech, dealing chiefly with the condition of the North- West country, and his experiences in travelling over it.He referred to the twenty odd meetings he had held, at which he met tbe settlers; and notwithstanding they had had two unfortunate seasons trom early frosts, they all expressed the greatest cony fidence in tbe country, and had broken up 25 per cent.more land last fall than in auy former season.Mr, White referred to the support which the Government had given to the enterprise represented by the guests of the evening, and spoke in the highest terms of the zeal and enterprise and courage of those gentlemen.His remarks were well received and warmly applauded.After Mr.White had sat down, Mr, Wm, Caesils sang a song, which gave great eatisfaction, Sir George Stephen then proposed THR HEALTH OF THE CHAIRMAN, which was replied to by Mr.Starnes, who then proposed the heulth of the Mayor which was drunk with the greatest en thuriasm aud elicited u apirited response which was cheered ty the echo, \u2019 the large hall of the new Athletic Clubhouse, while the chorus \u201c Band of Snow- shoers\u201d is sung by the huadred lusty throats of the hundred blaoketed foriis grouped on the stage.Again the singers are greeted with hearty applause, after which Mr.Robert Lloyd sang, in fine voice, \u201cYeomen\u2019s Wedding Song.\u201d Mr.Lloyd received a merited encore, afler which the Holland brothers performed some musical selections on the zutophone, \u201c A Spell is on the Woods,\u201d a glee by - the Harmony Male Quartette, elicited renewed applause, and then Miss Blauche Loeb gave a viol.u solo, beautifully performed, and showing to fine effect her complete mastery of the instrument.Mr.J.C.Allaa followed with ihe sword dance, and the ficat part of the programme was brought to a close by the solo, \u2018\u2018 The Glorious Buowshoe,\u201d by Mr.N.J.Fraser, the club joiaing in the rousing chorus.* Then praise anew, A OR Ie ve vai ee, Its graceful tall many à day, \u2018With pleasure we'll recall, When many a year hus flown away.\u201d The second part was opened by the Harmony male quartets singing, * Rest dearest, rest,\u201d Messrs.Fred.Cushing and J.RB Reed followed in a double born.pipe, aud M.D.Nicholson gent the audience frautic by his rendition of an original comic song, entitled \u2018 When he got to be Mayor.\u201d He was recalled three times, and good naturedly responded to each recall.A feature of the eveni.g, which was not on the Programme, was here introduced, it being the dancing of the Highland fling by Master Willie Forbes Milne, a little wite in full Highland costume.The President, Mr.J.K.Whyte, then Introduced several nondescript colored gemmen,\u201d who excited considerable amusement by their get up, © The Old Brigade,\u201d song aad chorus, by Mr, W.C.THE MAYOR, while thanking them for the enthusiastic Hodgson and club, a Scotch Reel, in real Scottish style, and \u201cGod Save the Queen,\u201d by the Club, brought to a close one of the most enjoyable eveni epent within the Academy.TORRES ever essrs.Fred, Cushins, R.Liovd Fraser, G.W.Garduer, H.J.Bolu.W.Bruce, the committee of managemen who had the getting up of the concert\u2019 hand, deserve the greatest credit for ther, successful efforts, and it is sincerely to 2 hoped that the Club will not allow anoth, ear to elapse before they give amusem oving Montrealers an opportunity spending another night with the Bleue, Faque Theatre Royal, \u201cA BRAVE WOMAN.This place of amusement wag crowdeq to the door, yesterday afternoon and evene ing, to witness Murdoch\u2019s celebrated mej, drama, * A Brave Woman.\u201d The Piece jy rich in its dialogue and the tableaux at the end of each act are beautiful pictures of the dramatists art.The play ie in six acts, ang the interest is most absorbing from the fire to the finish, the audience feeling a key interest that is not permitted to flag.Tu fifth act, the storm scene, is certainly om of the most realistic ever seen, ang the seething waves, as they toss'upon theip crest the launch, reminds one nog vividly of old ocean when swept by furious blasts in all their rage and fy, The ensemble of the entire company is above the average and the leadin charag ters, Ivie Everleigh aud Liliiau Bell, an taken by Mr.James Hardie and Mig Sara Von Lesr ia a truly artistic and

of applause.Mix Vou Leer is a pleasing and pretty blonde and her interprétation of the various emo tional and sparkling feature of the characte stamps her as an actress of fine ability, Mr.Charles Titus as Sandie Ovam wa extremely clever (and not by auy mean such a foo! as some folks thiaks him); hig appearance on each Cccasion was thie signa] tor rounds of applause that fairly shook the
