Nursery of Fruit and Forest Trees in the Far North of Quabec,\u2019by Mr, A, Dupuis.Great interest was manifested and Mr, Vilmorin was questioned in regard to the admirabie system of education in forestry pursued in the Wench schools.General James Grant Wilson spoke of the immense forests of the Adirondacks now unfortunately almost denuded of trees, of the late efforts of Government to repair the work of destruction, and the beneficial results flowing from the observance of arbor day.Hon.G.F.Talbet, of Maine, deplored the disappearance of forests in that State to such an extent that its people had to go to Washington Territory for masts of their vessels and to Tennessee and Michigan for first class lumber for the finishing of buildings.He spoke of the efforts made to prevent further waste, destruction of forests by fire, etc.Mr, Aubrey White gave valuable information supported by statistics of the condition of the forests in Ontario.After a lengthy discussion of these reports, the secretary, Mr.Archer, of Philadelphia, presented the report of the executive and legislative committee named at Philadelphia last autumn and it was decided that a committee consist- of Messrs.J.W.D.French, E.E.Fer- now, J.X.Perreault, J.B.Harrison, P.Le Vilmorin, Aubrey White, E.E, Tache and Wm.Little, be appointed to consider the report and the best means of obtaining practical results from the work of the association.\u2018Hon, Mr.Joly, in the absence of Mrs.8, W, Dodds, M.D., read her paper on the causes of cyclones, which treated exhauatively of the various theories advanced and sug- ested the planting'of forests as a remedy.ir.B.C.Fernow, chief of the Forestry Division of the United States, read his paper on forests as a national resource.This voluminous and learned work introduced a number of points of very great interest, and suggested that the matter of re-foresting the land was a work to be undertaken by governments.This Morning\u2019s Session.The preliminary remarks were made by Hon.Mr.Joly de Lotbiniers, after which several papers were read.About 10 o\u2019cloek His Excellency the Governor-General, Lord Stanley of Preston, accompanied by his aides-de-camp and several gentlemen of his suites entered the Congress hall and addressed the members.His speech was short and the American members were highly pleased with His Excellency\u2019s remarks.The Governor-General extended to them such 8 welcome as they will remember hereafter.Mr.Lozenby delivered an address on timber growing in Ohio.Mr.F.X, Perreault, of Montreal, recommended a

only.His Honor Lieut.-Governor Anger has invited the American members of the Association to a state ball at Spsncer- wood to-morrow.Every possible attention is given to the American members by the people of Quebec, and they are just now the object of attention from the eminent visitors who have assembled here for the festivals to be given in honor of Prince George of Wales.The Federal Government has placed a steamer at the Association\u2019s eervice and to-morrow the members will sail around the Island of Orleans, and they will pay a vigit to the far-famed shrine of La Bonne Ste.Anne en route.Afternoon Session.Mr.A.Dapuis read his paper on \u201c Nur- gery of Fruit and Forest Trees in the Far North of Quebec.\u201d This work was being discussed betweeu Mr, Little and Mr.Fernow, when Hon.H.Mercier, Prime Minister, made his entry into the hall, accorapanied by several ladies and gentlemen, among whom were Mr.Beverly and Hon.D.Dougherty, the distinguished American lawyer.Mr.Joly de Lotbiniere! introduced the Premier to the audience, who was much applauded.Hon.Mr.Joly recalled in ew words how at the last convention of the Association at Philadelphia, Hon.H.Mercier had invited the Assoclation to hold a congress in Quebec, promising to help in some way or other.It was through him that the Association secured the present commodious hall, and other facilities which rendered the work of the session 80 easy.Hon.H.Mercier congratulated the Association on its efforts to save so im- portant a source of revenue as the FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 5 forests, and he hoped that they would be attended with success.Speaking of the hospitality he had bestowed on the Association, he said it was com aratively little, considering the good Quebecers would derive from the labors of the Ase sociation.In concluding the Premier said: \u201cI hope that when you go back to your own country, to your own great country, you will remember the Province of Quebec.\u201d Mr.Dougherty responded to the Premier's speech with his usual eloquence.The great American barrister held his hearers in suspense.He dwelt on the relations of the Province of Quebec to America, and paid a gallant tribute to Quebecers at large, and ended his remarkable speech by saying: \"I amsure that every true American will try and entertain peace and good-will between Canada and the United States as long as the stars shall shine or the great St.Lawrence shall flow into the sea.\u201d A pretty lively debate took place when Mr.J.XK.Ward\u2019s forest insurance scheme was brought forth for discussion.Mr.Wm.Little, of Mor treal, and Mr, Harrison, of New Hampshire, opposed it on the ground that it would encourage incendiarism.Hon.Mr.Ward said his project was the fruit of many years of study, and that it would, if put in practice, prove a great protector to forestry.Things went on pleasantly until Mr.F, X.Perrault of Montreal, while speaking of the different administration in Ontario and Quebec, made some remarks about the sister Province\u2019s lumber aud forest management, whereupon the Oa- tario delegate advised him tospsak of his own Province.Mr.Perrault became excited and spoke of certain gales of limits which had Been lavished on political favorites for a cent an acre, and blamed the Government and the ministers who had thus deprived the country of a large portion of the forest wealth.At last Hon.Mr.Joly de Lotbiniere rose and expressed his regret as to the discussion having taken such a course and that some of the speakers had grown excited, but he said we have in French a paying which would serve nicely in this instance.The saying is a French one, \u201cIl faut laver son linge en famille,\u201d which can be translated thus \u201cOne\u2019s linen should be waslted at homes\u201d Showing clearly that the congress sessions were not to be;employed for discussions on boodle.em AMUSEMENTS OF THE DAY.Opening of the Advance Sale for Margaret Mather\u2019s Engagement.The advance sale for the coming engagement of Margaret Mather opened auspiciously yesterday morning and there is every indication that this famous actress will receive à warm welcome from her Canadian countrymen.The repertory includes some of the best- known of English plays and several Shakespearian works.\u201cThe Honeyf moon,\u201d which will open the season Monday, is celebrated ns the work o John Tobin, one of the greatest masters of comedy since Beaumont & Fletcher.Held by the Enemy, This popular drama is ever welcome at the Royal, and the announcement that it will be next week's attraction meets with general approval.In speaking of the present company a critic says: \u201c Every part in the play is taken by an actor or an actress who seems to be specially adapted by nature for that particular character, so well does each one succeed in portraying his_ or her especial role.\u201d At the Theatres.« Master and Man \u201d is being played to fair houses at the Academy, and Fort Donelson 18 drawing well at the Theatre Royal.The Strauss Concert.The indications are that the Strauss concert is going to be a success, Messrs.Hugh and Robert Shinner deserve much credit for their pluckly venture in bringing Strauss to Canada and feel much confidence in their expectation that the public will support them, The enterprise is necessarily a very costly one but the visit of Strauss and his orchestra is not one that is likely to be repeated for some time at any rate.In order that those people, and they are many, who at once made up their minds to go the plan of seats was opened at Nordheirmer\u2019s and a large number of the best seats have already been booked.It is a good plan to secure places without delay.Any one can subscribe for these concerts up till Saturday night when the list will be closed, and on Monday the plan will be opened for subscribers only.On Wednesday Sept.10, the plan will be opened for the public.Sohmer Park.There is an immense programme at Sohmer Park this week, including Geo.Testo, whose wonderful feats of strength astonish the large audiences who visit the park.Miss

order for the transfer of some sixty patients from the Longue Pointe Asylum tto the new Protestant Insane Asylum at Verdun.The transfers will probably be made to-day and to-morrow, as the order to do 80 was expected to reach the city last night.THE CORNERERS BUSTED.UP LIKE A ROCKET AND DOWN LIKE A STICK.Branches in all the Chief Citles\u2014Losses by Atteurpts to Control the Markets\u2014Legiti- mate Business Killed by Gambling Operations\u2014Liabilities that mayRua into Millions\u2014How Many Honest MenRulned.NEW York, Sept.4.\u2014Samuel A.Sawyer, David L.Wallace, and Thomas Miller, constituting the firm of Sawyer, Wallace & Co., cotton, coffee and provision com mission merchants, of No.18 Broadway, have assigned for the benefit of their creditors to, Marshall Ayres, without preferences.The assignment was a surprise on all the exchanges and in Wall-street.The cause is the losses the firm have sustained in their foreign option business.The first intimation of any trouble was just before the closing hour of the exchanges, when a number of the firm\u2019s contracts were closed out.Shortly before the closing of the county clerks office, a general aggignment, without any preferences, to Marshall Ayres was filed.At half past one the cotton exchange called upon the firm for a settlement of their differences.The messengers were kept waiting antila few minutes before three,when they were told no settlement could be made.Late in the afternoon the firm made the following statement: \u201cIt is with inexpressible sorrow that we are forced to close our 37 years\u2019 business career by a general assignment for the bewnfit of our creditors, Our resources have been completely exhausted by losses in our foreign option business (wheat and provisions chiefly ) conducted through London.Owing to the number and variety of these foreign accounts we cannot state the amount of our liabilities or assets; but when we can do so a meeting of our creditors will be called, if they 80 desire.Meantime we have tnrned over to our assignee, Mr, Marshall Ayres, of the City of New York, ail our assets, both partnership and individual, without preference of creditors.\u201c (Signed,) LP SAWYER, WaLLACE & Co.\u201d The house was established in 1853 by Mr.Samuel A.Sawyer, who came to this city from Tennessee.The business gradually increated until it has assumed mammoth proportions, its ramifications extendirg to all portions of the globe.The firm dealt extensively in cotton, tobacco, coffee, produce and provisions, and were prominent factors in all the large schemes and deals in such commodities.In 1883 a tobacco syndicate unloaded on them an immense amount of low grades, which they held for some time'before they were able to dispose of it.It was supposed that they had been making money, though at times they had lost from their syndicate dealings.Some seven years ago they established 8 branch house at Louisville, which bas since been managed by H.O.Grinter and Robert Wallace.The firm had branch houees in the following cities: Lonaon, Liverpool, Glasgow, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Marseilles, Madrid, Paris, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Baden, Pesth, Trieste, Leghorn, Barcelona, Lisbon, Mannheim and Havre.The failure will undoubtedly reach into the millions,though at present it is impossible to make any approximate estimate.Houses on Wall-street say the cause of the failure was the result of the effects made by the firm to squelch competition in the commission business by doing their commission business with European gpeculators without a margin at a small commission.In the pork deal last Jaauary the firm is said to have sustained losses of $1,000,000 on this account.The claims for these losses against European speculators are among the nominal assets.It is estimated that the sum total of nominal assets will reach 81;750,- 000, among which are included the $1,000,000 lost in the pork deal.In 1882 the firm made an attempt to corner corn in the New York market, but made a failure of it.The firm have undoubtedly immense holdings of merchandise in the various products in which they dealt, both in an export and import way.It will, however, take time to realize on these holdings and the general opinion is that the assignment was made to limit the loss on gpeculative options.tle.A Thieving Fellow Boarder.A young man named Walter Capen reported at the Central Police Station yesterday morning that early last spring he and a friend named Charles Henny left England for thie city.On their arrival here they both succeeded in getting employment on the C.P.R.at Hochelega.They both boarded at No.111 Shaw-street Wednesday night Capen went to bed early and about 12 o'clock his friend Henny came into the room.Capen spoke to Henny and went to sleep.On examining his clothing In the morning Capen found that all his hard-earned summer savings, amounting to $40, had been taken from hia pants pocket and that his friend Henny had disappeared.The detectives are on his track.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u2018Winnipeg Money Market.The Winnipeg Commercial of Sept.1 says: In monetary circles matters are quiet at thesmoment, but the banks are preparing for a heavy call for funds as soon as grain commences fo move.Commercial collections are very close, but dealers are consoling themselves with the belief that money will soon flow in as the crop moves out.Discount rates are holding firm.Mortgage loan business on farm property is dull, but there bas been something doing on city property.Most of the companies are holding rates of interest firm, and some refuse to do business under 8 per cent.even on choice city security.Loans, however, are known to be made at 7 per cent.on good city property.The C.M.B.A.Delegates Elect Officer: and Dine Together.The proceedings of the convention o the C.M.B.A.were brought to a clos yesterday.The principal business tran sacted was the election of officers, an before this was finished the assembles delegates were honored by a visit fron His Grace Archbishop Walsh,of Toronte.The retiring president, Mr.J.O'Connor, of Stratford,extending a cordial welcome to the venerable prelate, drew attention to the fact that he was the first member of the Canadian hierarchy to join the association, Since then he had rendered valuable service to the organization, both by word and example.Archbishop Walsh, in reply, expressed his pleasure at seeing 80 many represan- tative members of the association assembly at the convention, The outcome of their labors would, be was sure, largely increase the efficiency and usefulness of the organization.Their association rendered an important service to the cause of Catholicity by promoting harmony and fraternal feeling amongst their coreligionists.It was the means of bringing together Catholics belonging to ail positions in life, and for uniting them for the purpose of furthering their social ard spiritual interests.He hoped that they would continue to progress in the future as they had done in the past, till their association extended throughout the Dominion of Canada.(Applause.) The New Officers.The election of officers resulted as follows: John A McCabe, of Ottawa, president; W P Killaskey, of Chatham, Ont, first vice-president; Judge Rioux, of Sherbrooke, second vice-president; W J McKee, of Windsor, Ont, treasurer; Saml R Brown, of London, secretary; J E Martineau, of St Roch\u2019s, marshal; Joseph Rheaume, of Amherstburg, guard; trustees, O K Fraser, of Brockville, Rev M J Tiernan, of London, and T P Tansey, of Montreal.Committee on Laws:\u2014J K Barrett, of Winnipeg; Thomas Coffey, of London and R L Dowdell, of Almonte.Finance Committee:\u2014Thos O\u2019Neail, of Paris; Jas Quillinan, of Niagara Falls, and John Ronan of Hamilton.Representatives to the Supreme Council:\u2014T J Finn, of Montregl; DJ O'Connor, of Strat- ford, and Rev Father Murphy.The motion to separate from the United States carried by almost an unanimous vote.It will now go before the Supreme Council for confirmation, and when passed a Canadian Supreme Council will be established.The Banquet.The banquet which was given in the hall of the Vic\u2019s Armory was attended by about 170 guests, including several ladies.Owing to a slight accident, Archbishop Walsh was unable to be present, Acting Mayor Hurteau sent a letter expressing regret at his inability to accept the invitation he had received, and wish ing the C M.B.À.every success, The toasts were preposed and responded to in neat and eloquent speeches, some of which were received with enthusiastic applayse.Several of the newly-elected officers, on behalf of themselves and the general body of delegates, spoke feelingly of the gratitude they felt at the warmth and cordiality of the welcome that had been extended to them by their Montreal brethren.The drive which was to have taken place yesterday was postponed till this morning, ow:nz to the eagrossing character of the business which had to be transacted.\u2014 Montreal at Jamaica.The sub-committee of the Finance Committee appointed to consider the advisability of spending 21000 for a painting of Montreal to be sent gto the ' Jamaica exhibition, held a meeting yesterday afternoon.A letter was received from Mr.Bishop offering to furnish a painting together with the ownership of the same for $1000.Mr.Halley and Mr.Granville appeared before the committee with an of- for to give lime-light views of the city, its principal buildings, interior and exterior, and send a lecturer to explain everything if the committee would guarantee them $1000, The members considered the idea a good one, but as the money alloted them was for à painting they were unable to do otherwise than get a painting, This was looked upon as the best move, more particularly so as the picture could be used at the Chicago Exhibition and in London subsequent to the Jamaica Exhibition.It was also suggested that a number of photographic views be purchased from Ir, Lacas showing the prominent buildings in Montreal.The committee finally decided to wait upon Mr.Bishop for the purpose of finding out if he could extend the present painting he has of Montreal so as to take in the sugar refinery and other buildings in the East End at present not in the picture, \u2014_\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 Arrived in Private Cars.Two parties travelling by their own special cars have been spending a few days in the city.Mr .Charles H.Cam- ming, of New York,

Market, The stock market was more active and the total transactions reached 1300 shares.Most of the business was done at this morning's board, where Street Railway caused sometbing of a surprise by eelling down to 187.This was re- portad to be due to the placing of some long stock which the holders were tired of carrying.In the afternoon the stock closed at 189 asked, 187} bid.Canadian Pacific was easier at 82% and 82%, and sales reached 750 shares.There issteady tone to this stock and it has fluctuated for some time within very narrow limits.In banks, business was practically nil, only five shares in all being placed.Montreal closed with sellers at 231} and buyers at 230, Merchants at 145@146, and Commerce at 128@1283.Telegraph was fairly steady around par, there being business from 993(@100$, the closin « being 101 asked, 993 bid.Richelieu wa: flat with a sale at 57.Royal Electric gold in the morning at 104, and in tha afterncon at 105.The rate for call money is nominally 6 par cent, but although funds are more plentiful there is an unsettled feeling as to the immediate future, which tends to check stock specuiation.MORNING BOARD.4 Bank of Commerce .sec.128 15 Montreal

MANITOBA CROP REPORT, Only a Small Percentage of Damage by Frost.[Winnipeg Commercial, Sept.1.] Four or five days\u2019 rain right in the midst of barvest is not a favorable tea- ture, but such is the record for the week.A drizzling rain set in on Saturday afternoon, Aug.23, and continued with tHe exception of short intervals well into Wednesday night.It cleared up Thursday morning, and the balance of the week was very favorable.Harvesting was seriously delayed as a result of the rain, and late grain further retarded in ripening.About all the grain cut was still in the stook, and it would receive a thorough soaking, which of course will not improve the quality.There has also probably been some slight loss from the shelling of over-ripe standing grain.The wet spell will prolong harvestire well into next week in districts which would bave finished by to-night.To-day (Saturday, Aug.30) the weather appears more settled than it has for some time, The frost of Aux.21 and 22 is still the subject of much discussion, and reports as to damage are very conflicting, Fuller advices received show that frost was experienced nearly all over the country, but in nearly all instances it was very light, aud nine reports out of ten assert that little or no damage was dope.Several very sweeping reports have been sent abroad, to the effect that all the standing grain, amounting to something more than half of the entire wheat crop, was damoged by the frost.One report published abroad said that 70 per cent.of the crop had been dau- aged.Such reports are absurd up'n their face, as can be easily ghown oe the satisfaction of any reasons le person, and there is no dou but that some of the reports were intended to influence the markets, rather than to give a correct statement.The frost was so slight in some sections that even fonder garden plants were not injured.This is the evidence tbat comes from quite a number of district.Where tender p'ants were not damaged toa eerious extant, it is reasonably certain to believe that grain has not been injured, and therefore it is reasonably certain to stat: that a large portion of the standing grain /has not been damaged in the least.With nearly half the crop cut before the frest, and the certainty that a larze 1 riion of the standing gralo was not damaged, the percentage which may be damaged would be small.This is tha condition after allowing every reasonable doubt rs to the safety of the crop.While the sweeping reports of damave are abzurd, as hey been shown, it is equally wrong to make lght of the frost and declare that no damagze at all has been done.Some allowance should be made for tbe fact that the tendency in the past has been to underestimats damage from this cause.But after making this allowance, there is less reason for fear than was at first felt.Some very authoritative statements have been made as to damage, which has or has not besn dure, but With such eviience 5 there is to go upon it would be foolish to undertake to give a figure of the percentage either way.Harvesting was so delayed lest week thay little additional information hag come to hand as to quality and proipect ive yields.A good wmauy reporis have been heard of rather poor samples, from uteven rivening, light grain, ete.It is also reported that some wheat has been cut too green to make a good sample, as some commenced cutting on account of the cool weather of last week.Cheese Markets.[Special to The Herald.] BROCEVILLE, Ont., Sept.4.\u20147,100 boxes of cheese weie offered.3,300 sold at 9 5-16c to

Experience of a Party of Chinese - Smugglers.+, It has just come to light that a party of Chinese who attempted to smuggle themselves into the Urited States from Lower California, got lost on the desext and had a terrible experience, one of the party dying of thirstand exposure, says the San Diego Union.They found the frontier so closely guarded that they stole 8 march towards the eastward and get into the desert.Here they got lost and wandered aimless- 1y around for several days, suffering unutterable agonies.One of the Mongolians was a youth of some fourteen years.He gave out under the terrible sufferings and became crazy.In his ravings he imagined the blistering sands were limpid water and eagerly filled his parched mouth with the burning particles.This only added to his horrors, and pretty soon he lay down to die, his coms panions being in too pitiful a condition to render hin suy assistance.Here they heape à pile of sand upon him and left him alone to sleep his last long slumber, while they, with swollen tongues, aching limbs and heavy hearts, continued their aimless wanderings\u2014 lost in a trac .less desert.It is asserted that they at last reached the railroad and soon reached Los An.geles, minus everything they had at tempted to bring into the country except the clothes upon their backs.They had thrown away the bundles sontaining the many things the Chinese hold dear, ali of which mark their track upon the waste of sands.As the almond-eyed ones have a system of spreading information among themselves, it is quite likely this terrible experience v7ill prevent any more of them attempting to invade the United States via tlie desert route.re How Nihilists Live and Work._ The arrest of the Nihilists in Paris seems to have put another link in the Franco-Russian alliance, and the affair has brought out somme curious details of the manner of Life ¢f thasworn enemies of the czar.In the lodgings of Atschin- azi the police discovered a metal lathe and aquantity of bombs.In trying to find out where the luthe came from they discovered abundant evidence of a powerful organization.In the beginning of last wiuter this lathe was brought to à female member of the society, Mlle.Kraponme, who lived in small apartments in the Rue de la Sante.These apartments, the Paris papers say, had been successively occupied by three Russian revolutionista The machine was used for cutting out the pieces used in the construction of grenades.The neighbors often heard the noise of the workers, and saw the smoke that issued at times from the apartments.They also remarked the quantity of iron plates that were carried \u2018in.About the end of March last the lathe was taken to the Rue de la Butteaux Cailles and placed in the apartments of Mlle.Lubowich.Thislady\u2019s home consisted of three rooms, cne of them being turned into 4 workshop or grenade factory, while the two others were occupied by Guiatowich and Atschinazi.The latter spoke French, and was the interpreter for the others.He was studying medicine, and had apartments in the avenuc de Montsouris, in which he seldom made his appeurance, but where several Russian Nihi:ists had often been lodged.But it was in the Rue Butteaux Cailles that the making of grenades wad carried on with most activity.They bought and fitted up a littlestcam engine for their lathe, and worked away all day long with great industry.In the evening a number of young men and young\u2019 girls came there to take tea and dance and sing, but their conduct seemed irreproachable.Their neighbors found ther extremely polite, but reserved in their manners.They ovidently wished to keep by themselves, without forming any French acquaintances.The arrests are important, because they include most dangerous conspirators, whose principal ohject was the assassinations of the czar.CINDERELLA AFRESH: A St.Paul Girls Misadyeüiure After a Party.An interesting sight was witnessed early yesterday morning by two night workers while wending their weary homeward way up Wabasha street, says the St.Paul Pioneer Press.A young «couple who had evidently put in the night at some dancing ball, had stopped .on the opposite sido of the street, and the lady was endeavoring to cliange her dancing slippers for her walking shoes.Her pedal extremities were of course somew hatswolien by the night's dancing, and her efforts to make the change were futile.Her companion then came to the rescue; but their combined efforts were unavailing.Finally the attempt was given up, and she concluded to replace her slippers; but, lo! when she attempted to do so she found that her feet had swollen to such an extent that it was impossible to wear them.Here was a dilenuna sure enough.A hasty consultation was held, and her escort took off his shoes and hazded them to hi: fair companicn.They were just the fit.and soon the couple continued their homeward jouruey, the gentleman in his stocking feet.A Mattor
