morning.The pilot of tha steamer and Cornicg Crowell, of Seal Island, came to Barrington in a boat last evening.All the crew of the Ottawa were saved except the stewardess, Mrs.Lindsay, who was drowned.Her residence is not known here, She with three men went into a boat to escape to the shore.There being a heavy sea the boat capsized.Two of the men got on the bottom of the boat.The other man and the stewardess were under the boat six hours.When rescued the man was just alive and Mrs, Lindsay had been dead half an hour.The ship ard cargo are probably a total loss.Nothing further is known here.Another despatch says that the stewardess might have been saved had the men exerted themselves in that direction.The Crew at Yarmouth, Y armours, N, 8., Nov.5.\u2014The steamer Latour arrived this afternoon with Capt, Geo.Dixon and the crew of the Ottawa.The captain says: \u201cWe left Halifax at 1 pm.Saturday.There was & moderate gale blowing from southwest and a drizzling rain, when we made Caps Sable light and shaped our course steering west balf north by compass, expecting to pass two miles south of Blond Rock.At 5 a.m.Bunday we struck bows on.The ship was in charge of the chief officer and myself at the time.We launched one of the lifeboats and the chief officer, with two men and stewardess, started for Seal Island, about three miles off, when about two ships l:ngth away they capsized the boat, and she drifted ashore, When it was found all hands were stil by, but the stewardess was dead from cold and exposure, Her name wag Annie Lindsay, a married woman, aged 22, hailing from Ireland, She was shipped in London.At6 o'clock Sunday evening we succeeded in getting to the island in a jolly boat and second lifeboat.We were most kindly.treated by Mr.Crowell, the lightkeeper, and remained there till Wedresday till we gut a boat to the mainland, and to-day the steamer Latour came to the island and brought us to Yarmouth.Thare were 29 on the Ottawa all told, no passengers.The stewardess was buried on Seal Island.The steamer when we left was still fast on tbe rock, but was fail of water, with a hole in ber bottom, rad Jer and stern post gone.The accident was due to deviation in the compasses, a3 the position they shswed us in when we sfrnck should have carried us two miles south of the rock.Saw Saal Island light an honr before an struck.There is an automatic buoy on Blond rock, but we didn\u2019t hear it before we struck and on Sunday, although it was close to us; we could not bear it.Some wines have been saved and brought to Yarmouth and if the weather remains fine some of the MONTREAL, FRIDAY NOVEMBER 6 1891 Gargd may be saved.The captain consider, the ship a total loss.He thinks the deviation in the compasses may have been caused by the fact that their elaa- tric light dynamo was not running owing to the armature being damaged.This would perhaps demagnatize the ironship and affect the compasses.\u2014_\u2014 IMPORTANT JUDGMENT ra, Onses Arising Ont of the Xlections Are Decided.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I, Nov.5.\u2014 Judge Hodgson to-day delivered two important judgments that will be of ine terest all over Canada.The Patriot newspaper published a charge that an elector named Henry, an elder in the Presbyterian Church, had personated another man at the late elections.Heary sued for libsk It seems that his name was misprinted \u201cHyde\u201d on tne votere\u2019 list, printed at Ottawa.This mistake was discovered before the lists were issued to the deputy returning officers, and Jadge Reddin corrected if to Henry, markiog the alteration with his initials.Bat the lists in the hands of tire Liberal agents were unchanged.It was upon this that the charge was made.The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff.The judge justified Judge {Reddin in makisg the alteration, declaring that not only was he right in having done so, but thai the Supreme Court would, If mecessary, have compelled him to have done so by mandamus, The cage of McLeod vs.Cowan was an action against a depuiy returning officer for refusing to deliver a ballot to a voter whose name was on the list.The defendant pleaded that plaintiffs name was not Mcleod, but Owen, and that the name of Owen was noton the list.The plaintiff, a son [of Captain Owen, had changed his name to McLeod.This tae judge declared he had a rightto do with oat an act of Parliament or a royal license, but he held that plaintiff had m isconceived his action.Asa matter of fact be waë not \u2018qualified to vote although his name was on the list.The judge drewa distinction between the power to vote and the right to vote.He declared that if the plaintiff had sued Cowan for the penalty made by the statute for refusing to give him a ballot, he would have found a verdict for the full amount of $200 and costs, and it defendant had not paid it, would have sent bim to jail for two years.But plaintiff did not doso.He set out that he bad a right to vote, and as defendant challenged this, and declared that as a fact that he had no right, the plaintiff must fail, for he could not hold that he bad been injured.He based his judgment upon an English decision, which seemed to bear out his view, but he expressed the opinion that Mr.Cowan\u2019s act was illegal and wrong, and said that if proper action had been brought against him ha would have punished him.tl THE GOVESNMENT\u2019S INNOCENCE, Messrs, Pacaud and Armstrong Are Re- \u2018 sponsible for Any Scaudal, QuEBEC, Nov, 5.\u2014The Chronicle to-day has a column article on the Baie des Cbaleurs investigation, in the course of which it says that Lieutenant-Governor Angers was fully justified in insisting upon an investigation, in view of what transpired before the Senate Committee Fat Ottawa, that the choice of commis- ioners was excellent, and that they discharged their delicate duty \u2018with rainstaking fidelity, and hopes they will present a full report to the Lieutenant Governor.The Chronicls takes the ground that that the transae- tion so far as it involved any scandal, was one entirely between Pacaud aad Armstrong.That paper then goes on to gay : \u201cAs for the perfect legality of the payment to Armstrong, notuing on that score can be said.The money was voted by Parliament.It passed through the various channels regularly, and thongh Pacaud got the mast of it, the country 1tgelf did not suffer.Armstrong elected himself his own victim.Mr.Mercier, the Premier, waÿ away in Earope at the time the deal was effacted, and so he cannot very well be made to take & responsible position in the matter.His colleagues were here, however, and the man who did the most to secure the payment of the money was Mr.Garneau, whose innocence all will admit has been established.What Pacaud said to Armstrong and the others interested in the spoils is another matter.His admirable nerve, we may be sure, did not desert him in little things like that.Through Mr.Pacaud\u2019s transaction with Mr.Armstrong, the Province has suffered in credit.The open rascality of the deal is familiar to-day all over the world.Ifis known in London as we!l as in Paris, and it is therefore highly important that the judges report all the circumstances to to His Honor, so that at least our Province may not suffer more, s0 that the capitalists on the other side of the Atlantic, with whom our credit has been good, may not carry & wrong impression in their heads.- Authority has been granted to 1 orrow $10,000,000, Of that sum, S4,- 000,000 have already been borrowed, at short date.In a little while, the balance must be raiced.The Chronicle bas always deprecated the tactics of crying down our own credit.It is a mistaken policy to pursue.The province is not bankrupt.It is rich in natural resources.It is rich in a frugal and industrious population, It has abundant means and facilities.We can pay dollar for dollar for everything we owe, There need be no apprehension on that score.But here is a matter which briogs us face to faca with a serious question.And we maintain, that it is a matter of vital importance, that the commission report to the Lieutenant-Governor, the result of the enquiry which has been made into the Baie des Chaleurs Rait- way deal, censuring those who ought to be censured, placing blame where it ex- iets, and giving tothe world the true story of a transaction which bas been in everybody\u2019s mouth for five or six months past, to the no small injury of the business and political standing of Quebec.On the resultof that report much depends, and we trust that the commissioners will see with us, how necessary it must be to our future well-being, to make that report The credit of the Province is at stake.\u201d Coming from a paper opposed to the Government this frank exculpation of Mr.Mercier and his colleagues, has ate tracted considerable attention, THE END IS NEAR In a Short Time the Commission \u2018Will be a Thing of the Past, SENATOR PELLETIER TALKS.Evidence by Engineer Light on the Estimates of the Work\u2014More Bank Managers Talk\u2014Pacaud Says He Is Not in the Habit of Oraving for Mercy\u2014To-morrow Will Finish.FROM OUR OWI, REPORTER.Queexc, Nov.5.\u2014The last act in th» play Baie des Chal£urg investigation commenced this mornïng.The Royal Commission will soon bega thing of the past.Senator Pelletier began the final rite by adding his testimony to that of the crowd of other witnesses whose evidence exonsrated the ministers frcm any knowledge of or participation in the exploitations of Ernest Pacaud.Mr, Pelletier mainly repeated the evidence he gave at Ottawa, He confirmed in every particular the evidence of Pacaud, Mer- cler, Charles and J.C.Langelier.He repeated that the notes signed by him jointly with the Premier and Charles Langelier were designed for contestation deposits.One of tbe notes was left In his possession to be disposed of by his order.This paper he afterwards signed and gave to Pacaud, who had a letter from Mr, Mercier with a request to that effect.Witness\u2019 impression was that the note in question was for $5000.After the no tes had been signed and endorsedithey were left in Pacaud\u2019s possession with the exception of the one he had just mentioned.There were, if he remembered right, four of these notes in all.Were they before the commission ?Yes; he identified them, but could not remember the dates.ot their negotiation.Out of the proceeds of one of them he received $1000 with which to pay certain legitimate election expenses.He could sweat that none of this was for personal purposes.This was the only source from which he and his friends could raise the necessary expenses and Mr.Mercier\u2019's wish was that they should use discretion in negotiating this paper.Mr.Casgrain tried to establish a discrepancy between Senator Pelletier\u2019s evidence and that of Pacaud, inasmuch ag the latter had not said that there were four notes, , Mr.Beique, howeÿ r, bointed that Mr.Pacaud had never b¥ n-posttive on this point.Much time was lost in a dlascas- sion of this point and Mr.Pacaud was ordered to appear again.The next witness was L.J.Cannon, deputy attorney general of the Province, He identified a written legal opinion given by him at the request of Hon.Mr.Garneau, He (Mr.Cannon) never had the slightest doubt as tothe legality of the pro- ceedinggwhich led to the issuance of the letters cf credit to settle Arwstroay\u2019s claim.Nor did he even suspect the part played by Pacaud in that affair.Be always knew Mr, Garneau to be extremely careful in his management of the transaction.An illustration of this was the fact that Mr.Chas.Langelier came to the witness and told him that Mr.Garneau was not satisfied with the verbal opinion given by him (Cannon) and that be should like to have it cor= roborated by the advice of Mr.Francis Langelier.Accordingly on the following day Mr.Deguise came to the witness with a type written document purporting to be the legal opinion of Hop.Frs.Langelier.Mr.Cannon foand tbis opinion to be in perfect harmony with bis own verbal statement and he therefore signed it.Here the witness showed \u2018that the Statutes provided for the conversion of the land subsidy into cash: Vic, 57\u2014 chap, 88\u2014sec.7.Messrs.Murray and Pope, managers respectively of the C, P.R.and G.N.W.Telegraph offices, gave evidence as to the impossibility of producing telegrams asked by the commission.It is the custom of these offices to destroy all messages periodically, and the Baie des Chaleurs despatches have shared the common fate, Mr, Pope was ordered, however, to make further search for telegrams sent in the month of June.Paul Blouin, a member of the edito- ris] staff of Le Courier du Canada, was called by Mr, Casgrain, who endeavored to prove that the \u201c scandal\u2019 had been a matter of public notoriety before Mr, Barwick made his charges.The Commission, however, decided that his opinions were inadmissable, At 1 o\u2019clock the Commissioners roze to meet again at 2 o\u2019clock, at the private residence of Mr, A.L.Light, C.E, to take his evidence, and to meet again at 3 p.m.at the Court house.Their henors then adjourned for luncheon, with the intention iof hearing in the interim the evidence Mr, A.L.Light at his house on D\u2019Autenil street.Mr, Light testified that he was Government engineer under C.N.Armstrong on the Baie des Chaleurs road.His duty was to examine the estimates made by Leduc who wag Arme- strong\u2019s engineer, These estimates were the ones on which the subsidies had to be paid.Mr.Light carefully checked the items therein and vouched for the correctness of quantities and prices.He repeated the evidence given by himself before the Senate.He explained how tbe price of the work done by the sub contractors was raised by Leduc to the basis of $20,000 a mile, the price which Armstrong was to get.Tbis in some in - stances made a difference of 40 and 50 per cent between the coa- tractors and the saob-contractor price.The certificates would show this but he could not produce these certificates before the Senate, neither could he find them now, The afternoon session commenced at 3 o'clock, Mr, Beique announced that the bank cfficials were present and were ready to tive furtker explanations as to the dis- posal of the $3500 notes left by Mr, Mercier, Mr, Labadie, of the Banque du Peuple, thereupon testified tbat Pacand hat made a deposit with them, a copy of the entry of which he produced.He could pot swear, however, whether the deposit was made in cash or by a check.Mr.Pacaud was then recalled.He informed the commission that he had pot the statement yet finished, which would show how this apparent discrepancy existed between his evidence and that of Mr.Charles Lange- lier.He would produce the statament to-morrow.At the request of Mr, Beique he produced the note left in his possession by Mr, Mercier, which be had refused to submit at an earlier stage of the enquete on the ground that it was purely private.Ho proceeded to explain that this note, which was supposed to be a fourth blank note, was in reality an ordinary promissory, dated considerably in advance of its negotiation, Queetioned by Mr.Casgrain, the witnees then stated that he had seen the article in Le Courrier du Canada to which the witness, Blouin, was not permitted to testify, but he denied ever having conversed with Mr.Garneau about it and repudiated the statement that the latter had expressed fears to bim on account of this article.Mr.Casgrain\u2014Did you uot approach the editor of Le Courrier du Canada and beg of him to cease this exposure?I.Pacaud\u2014No, it is not my habit to crave for mercy.(Langhtar).Mr.Lafrance, of the Banque Nationale, gave further evidence of ay technical nature relative to Pacaud\u2019s accounts.Senator Pelletier, recalled, cleared up the apparent discrepancy between his testimony and Pacaud's, by admitting tbat he might have been mistaken in saying that there were four notes.A lengthy discussion here ensued between the counsel on either side asto the advisability of admitting a portion of Mr.Light'sevidence touching on McFarlane\u2019s claim.C.N.Armstrong pertonally protested against the admission of this evidence, on the ground that it would prejudice the csse between him and McFarlane.Judge Jette held that this question might be of Interest before the Senate, but Was immaterial here.Mr.Hall then withdraw the question.A CANON WHO WAS DRUNK, One of the Westminster Clergy Fined in a Police Court, Lonpon, Nov.5,\u2014On Tuesday evening the Rev.Frederick Harford, said to be a minor canon of Westminster, saw the police helping a hysterical woman into a cab in front ot a saloon.Harford, who appeared to be in a somewhat excitable condition, protested against the leniency of the police in not arrestiog the woman, and said that she was drunk instead of being hysterical, and ought to be in custody.The police paid no attention to the canon at first, only telling him to go of and mind his own business.This mads the reverend gentleman more diffusive, and the police at last were obliged to arrest him.They entered a charge of drunkenness against him.The appearance of a minor canon of Westminster in a police court created a Sensation.He denied that he was druok, but almiited that he had bsen dining.The evidence of his disorderly conduct was overwhelming, and the msgistrat., after severely censuring him, imposed a fine of £2, \u2014\u2014\u2014 HE ACKOWLEDGES HIs POWER.Barillas, of Guatemala, Now Lets Journalists Write Freely, Crry or MEx100, Nov.5.\u2014Advices from Guatemala are to the effect that the most absolute liberty in writing is now allowed, and the newspaper men are taking advantage of the opportunity to score the Government.This change of heart of Barillas has been occasioned by his terror that he will be deposed before his term of office expires in December.is previous arbitrary acts have made him so urpopular that should he attempt to imprison another journalist, a revolution would at once follow.Barillas has been advieed by his friends and cabinet to leave Guetemala, but this he refuses to do until after the elections.His mode at present is simply the only means he Can devise to head the presidency until the expiration of his term.He has also assured Salyador, through a lately appointed minister, that he does not desire war with that country,

Elected in Virginia.RicaMoxp, Nov.5.\u2014A noticeable faa- ture of the election in this State is the fact that for the first time since the war there is no negro member in the Legislature, and that the negroes did not generally vote except in two counties, where the Republicans put up a ticket.In this city not a negro voted, The only ticket voted for was that nominated by the Democrats.The Legislature is so unanimously Democratic that members of that party are already expressing the fear that it may become unwieldy, 3 CENTS: t6 PER YEAR CANADIAN MAIL SERVICE.a The Question Discussed by the Halifax Board of Trade Yesterday.\u2014 WHAT IS MOST DESIRABLE ?\u2014 Mr.Roche, M.P.P., Thinks à Line of Fast Ocean Greyhounds is Out of the Ques- tion\u2014Mr, Keany, the Halifax Member, Confesses He Doesn't Know Much Aboat the Question Under Discussion.\u2014\u2014 SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.Haurrax, Nov, 5\u2014The Halifax Board of Trade to-day held an im yortaut mee - ing, and fally discussed the Atlantic mail steamer question.Wa.Roche, M.P.P,, thought the question to be solved was whether Cauada could support a fast line of ocean greyhounds.He thought not, and believed that it was better to have the service that we had enjoyed for many years to a fast lice that might not pay.Jt was better to be slow and sure.Thomss E.Kenny, M.P,, in reply to questions said he had no special information on the mail service question.He had seen no correspondence on the subject and was not in a position to say why the weekly service had been stopped.He had frequently stated that the trans-Atlantic ateam- ship service was unsatisfactory.He agreed with Mr Roche that the Allan service had not been what he would like, though their ships in some respects were adapted for the work they performed.Mr.Kenny had cailed the attention of Pariiawent tothe inadequacy of the service.He illustrated it by the fact that a passenger who had sailed from Liverpool by the City of New York, had spent some tims in New York and had come back to Halifax two or three days in advance of the Canadian subsidized steamer which left the same day.Such a condition of affairs was unsatisfactory indeed, and had been so recognized by Parliament.A sam of $500,290 had accordingly been voted for a first-class fast service, Mr.Anderson had hoped to be able to start a line to fill the engagements for the contract for tre subsidy, bat he tailed in floating his scheme; one reason was that two prominent Canadian capitalists had failed to subscrive to it.Bryce Douglas bad likewise attempted it.Mr.Kenny was glad the Board of Trade had taken up tbe matter and he hoped tuey would be able to bring about a better condition of affairs.For bimselt he thought he had acted wisely in urging a fast service, tut he felt it incumbent on him te state that others just a3 competent to speak believed that a 15 or 16 knot service was sufficient.He thought one point on which all should unite was that no subsidy should be paid to stcamers calling av foreign ports.The large expenditure incidental to the line that had been calling here had largely gone to build up a foreign por .He thought that a fast line which should sail between Britain and Canada should depart from a non-iidal port in England and coms to Halifax the year rouud.The terminal port should be in Canada exclusively, Parliament's offer for the improved servic stilljstands on the records of the country.The board should state which is desired, a 15 knot or a 20 knot servica, If we could not get the latter we should certainly have the former.If the mail steamers only landed 700 tons of western cargo at this port last winter, a8 was stated, the amouxt of expeuditura on soma of the freight steamers that come here was very much more important than on these subsidized boats.In apswer to a question Geo.E.Francklyn stated that the greater distance of ccean carriage aud the decreased length of railroad lie accounted for the small amount of western freight landed at Halifax.There was a large amount of local freight landed here.Mr.Franck- lyn stated that wnen the contract ex- pred last spring the Allan and Dominion lines asked fer £750 per trip instead of the £500 previously given.The Allan Line believed that a 15 knot service was ail that the St Lawrence demanded, He could not say whether the Allan and Dominion Lines had refused to centinrue the service for £500.He knew they wanted £750 for a similar service to that previously given and not the increased sum for a faster service.James Morrow emphasized the points that what the ard had to decide, was first, are we to ask for a fast line, and secondly, should we allow ourselves to lose the facilities we have had in a struggle for a still better service in the future.In the taking away of the weekly mail boats the change will be felt by many who are dependent on them for a part of their livelihood.He thought it would be folly in view of the desire to build up a national sentiment to allow our mails for five months in the Year to Le landed at foreign porta W.O.8Silver pointed out how'depandent the west was on the Atlantic coast of Cunada.If the United States were to forbid the use of their ports to Cauada, where would Montreal and Toronto be ?The Americans, if we became dependent on them, could bring us to our knees in 24 hours.There would bs a monetary panic such as the country had never before experience, were we refused the privileges of American ports after once becoming depeadent on them, He believe there was little differeace between the ins and outs at Ottawa in their indifference to the Maritime Provinces.Awsy with the idea that Canada shonld depend on any other than her own ports for access to the world, Benator Power wanted to bring the questiondown to a practical basis.There Was ro likelihood of our getting a line of ocean greyhounds, and the question was what could we best do under the circumstances.We ghould state for the information of the Government what was the nature of service we wanted.He believed that 217 knot was the best we can get and what we should ask for.It would be easier to obtain a fast line with a subsidy of $750,000 à | year while in the possession of an ore dinery line than with none at all.He thought it better to ask for something wo 1ad a chance of getting, rather than for what seemed visionary.T.E.Kenny regretted that we had no Atlantic mail service.It was a reproach that we had not a line adequate to our resources.But the fault was not ours after all.Canada has on her statute books a standing offer of $500,000 per anpum for an improved service.He asked the board whether $500,000 was enough, or should the amount be increased should we ask a 20 knot service or be satisfied with & 17 knot service, Mr.Roche said he had received some of the information he wanted, snd he began to argue in favor of a 17-knot service rather than a 20-knot one, on the ground that the former woald meet all he pasenger requirements of Canada \u2018or 1U years to come, and would carry reigkt in paying quantities, which might not be the case with the swifter boats.A 17-knot line would be as fast as anything on the Atlantic.The Gov- erument should be asked to make Hali- ax the terminus of a first class 17-knot service, The discussion resulted im the adop- ion «f the foliowing resolutions:\u2014That \u2018he Halifax Board of Trade take immediate steps to continue the regular communication of steam vessels between this port and Great Britain which has existed for the last 50 years, by inviting the cooperation of sister Boards in the Dom- inionf by using circulars inviting the cooperation of every European im- rter and consignee in the Dominion; y combining all such shipments aad offering the same to the various Atlantic steamship companies, by & delegation or otherwise, at their headquarters in Liverpool and London at the earliest moment; by à representation, by a deloga- tion or otherwise to the Dominion Gov- ernu ent asking for such a subsidy as will command the service of a line of first-class modern steamers compatible with the resources of the country.\u201d Further resolved; \u201cThat if it be found practical by the Government to sscure at a very early date a contract for the carrying of the mails between Canada and Great Britain by a line of steamers averaging not less than 19 knots an hour, tben, in the opinion of this Board of Trade, Immediate steps should be taken to secure the service of a line averaging not less than 17 knots, and pending the opening of such service the service heretofore existing should con- ticue ag it has been for the past 50 years, 8 winter port for trans-Atlantic mail purposes.\u201d .\u2018Another resolution was vigoroasly dis cuased and adopted as follows : \u201cThat this board recognizing the loss to Canadian ports through the discharging of through freight of the Dominion at foreign sea ports, urge upon the Govern ment the desirability of having a Cana~ dian terminus for Canadian commerce and requests them that in order that Canada may receive the full barefit of the- subsidy paid byCanadians thas it ve one of tke principal cond tions of aay future contract as to Atlantic mail service that a Canadian port must be à t:rminus.News From Winnipeg.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD,

2to1, New York, Nov.5\u2014Nearly 2000 spectators were at the Valley Road grounds, Montclair, yesterday to witness the second annual football and lacrosse carnival.ln the morning the C, C.N, Y.and Montclair lacrosse teams met.1t was one of the roughest played in this vicinity since the last Staten Island-New York game, In addition to the general mauling each man received, Curry of the Montclairs had his ear torn open.The play was hard and fast from start to finish, Neither side scored during the first half.One throw by Spahr tor C.C.N.Y, hit oneof the goal posts and bounded back.Whitting and Miller for the Montclairs also came very near scoring.The second half opened with more ob- Bttinate playing, and in nine minutes Sutorius threw the first goal for the college boys from a brilliant pass by Smith, Ît was at this point that Curry was hurt.Many disputes afierward arose.Green- baum, the C.C.N.Y.s first attack, shot for goal, the ball glancing from the goalkeeper's stick intogoal.The goalkeeper did not allow it and Capt.Greenbaum protested.Then the ball was taken way up the field by Moses and passed to Miller, who throw the ball between the goal posts, but gogl was not allowed, as Thumm had illegally interfered with the ¢.G N.XY.goalkeeper.Miller, however, Children Cry for throw a goal for the Montclairs, assisted by Carey and Whiting.No mors gals were scored until 30 seconds before time was up, when from a pass almost the length of the field Spahr secured the ball and, dodging Crawford, threw goal.The finalscore was: C C.N.Y., 2; Mont- clair A, C., 1.The prize wasa silver lacrosse stick worth $50.BASEBALL, A Descriptien of the Average Ball Players of To-Day.The short, stocky man predominates in baseball nowadays.Formerly à ball player, like à policeman, was selected as much on account of his physique as f.r his ability on the diamond.In fact, an impression prevailed not many years ago that à small-sized man had no business trying to play ball, and the remark was frequently heard regarding some | new aspirant for fame on the diam nd : \u201c He plays well, but he's too small.\u201d This bas all changed, and the m jority of baseball players are short, stout, and even squatiy.So marked in this respect is the Cleveland team that it travels arouad the country weigbred dowa with the nickname of \u201cDumplings.\u201d Second Baseman Childs is & veritab'e haman dumpling, and, with the exc sption of Young and Zimmer, the team is composed of sbors, stocky men.Ever since baseball has been played the opinion has been held that a tail man on firat base was an absolute neces- eity.His ability to reach hizh for thrown balls was the chief ground for the claim, and so up to the preseat tims a ta!l man is usually found on first base.The theory that a six-footer is an abso- late necessity on first hase has, however, incurred a rude shock as a result of the work in that position of Virtue, the Cleveland first baseman.His play has been phenomenasl, both on low and high thrown balls, and yet he is barely 5 feet 9 inches tall.As a matter of fact, Vir- -tue\u2019s work has giveu rise to the belief that à man of his build is far more val- lnable as a baseman than one of gigantic proportions, for the reason that the larger man is necessarily unwieldy, and while he may reach somewhat higher; he cannot handle low-thrown balls with the facility of the shorter and more active player, .The tall first basemen usually possases a quality which the shorter masan lacks, and that is abilityto hit the ball with vigor an frequency; and where this gnality is so pronounced as in the case of Dan Brouthers, the failing in the matter of flelding can be overlooked.Where a big first baseman does not hit hard and often, his presence on first base is less to be desired than that of an expert fielder and fair hitter like Virture.Occasionally there is combined in a first baseman the ability both to field superbly and bat hard.Fxamples of tkis sor} are shown iin Beckley and Tucker, woo play all around most other first basemen.An exception to the general rule of short piayers is found in the New York team, which, owing to the height and size of the players, is easily entitled to the name of \u201cGiants.\u201d The Detroit team of 1887 wag also an example of large men on the ball field.The latter, however, did not depend so much for success on field work as on the ability of the players to \u2018\u2018kill\u201d the ball.They were experts in that branch of the game.On the contrary, the New Yorks, while nearly ali large of stature, inclade in their membership a numbar of extremely fice fielders.While «8 a rule the first bsgemsn are tall, the remainder of tne infield in most teams is guarded by small men, The reason probably is that the prograss of the game requires increassd activity in thoee positions.A short man can get his hands to the ground quicker than a tall one, and appears to be able to move more rapidly.Oneoftheze \u201cdumpling\u201d infielders will make a dash at an appar- eutiy safely his ball, manage to stop the ball with his hands, feet or some portion of hie anatomy, roll over as he is trying tograb the leather, clutch the ball as he is turning, and then by throwing before he is fairly on his f:et, get the man out at first.Among the shortstops Glass- cock 18 an exception to the rule, as he can, when so disposed, play a game that wi | surprise even the \u201cdumpling\u201d won- uers.Among the short, stocky short stops may be mentioned Long, Cooney, McKean and 8bugart, while of the second basemen Richardson, Quinn, Myers, Ward and Childs are examples.Pieffer is of medium height and angalar, while Bierbauer aud McPhee are of medium height and trimly bailt, The short, stockyjman is a'so invading the outfield, where he seems to do quite as well as close to the diamond, Ham l- ton, Griffin, Davis, Brodie, Holliday, Ryan are all examples.In the case of Hamilton, a sensational outfielder, no one would suppose to look at him tbat he could get over the ground with any speed.Not over five feet seven inches tall, be 18 very stocky, and has a particu larly large calf.He looks like anythiag but à sprinter, bnt he skims the earth like a gale of wind, and seldom lets a game go by without a phenomenal catch.In addition he is a strong, steady batsman, and stands at the head of the league hitters.Almost a count rpart of Hamilton is Griffin, of Brooklyn.He strongly resembles Hamilton in looks and also in play.Both men are base runners of the first class.That the short mau is in the field to stay appears to be certain, and while the little chap does not present so imposing an appearance when marching upon the field as does his tall brother, it cannot be denied that the former gives a very satisfactory exhibition of the national game.\u2014N.Y.Sun.en.Rusie Goes to Chicago, INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov.5.\u2014Pitcher Amos Rusie was to-day signed by Fred

Giants\u2019 ranks.Yesterday, it is said, Connor and Richardson went to Philadelphia and agreed to sign $5000 contracts for three years with George Wagner, representing the association team of that city.Rusie and Buckley are said to have reached an agreement with the Chicago association team and the former will receive $6800 for a season\u2019s work with $3000 advance money.Notwithstanding these

seconds.Intercolonial Athletic Contest, London Illustrated News: \u2014 Never previously in the history of our national sports has there been such an abundance of transoceanic competition.We have just welcomed home from South Africa a team ot Rugby Union football players, whose career, extending over many thousand of miles in that colony, was marked with enthusiasm no less remarkable than their anbroken series of victories.For some weeks past an English cricket eleven, under the guidauce of Lord Ha wke, has been playing matches against the crack American clubs, in the first two of which, at Philadelphia, it is pleasant to record that the old coustry and the new each experienced a defeat and a vtetory.Another cricket team,promoted by Lord Sheffield\u2014than whom our national games have no keener aupporter\u2014 containing, moreover, the veteran champion, Dr.W.G.Grace, is now on ils way to Australia, while the varying record of the Canadian Association football players agaicst our leading English.Scotch and Irish clubs contines to occupy a prominent pesition in the daily press.For many years past, at no distant intervals, Australia has sent her finest cricket material to contend against that of the mother country, and the visit of the Maori footballers will not readily be forgotten by those who witnessed their excellent performances.The remarkable increase of late in these international ventures is matter for the sincerest congratulation.Until quite recentiy such competitious had been confined to an occasional yacht race with America, certain professional sculling and atäletic competitions,and earlier yet,and not per- baps wholly deserving of condemuatio: at that date, pugilistic combats for the championship of the world.On all such the present interchange shows a distinct and vast improvement.Instead of being confined to a single event, contestad in one particular spot by an individual, these football and cricket teams traverse the country far and wide, visiting each important town, and probably doing more to maintain and promote international amity,by reaching the hear: ofthe pe ple, than any other devicethat could ve imagined.It is almost matter of regret that the 15 just returned from South Africa was of such invincible strength, for fooiball in such low latitudes has not the same chances of attaining perfection as it has in England.Bat though long before the end of the tour the resuit of each match must have been a foregone conclusion, the hearty appreciation of the colonial spectators remained throughout undiminished.The Canadian eleven now playing in England, though far stronger and more capable than their predecessors a year or two ago, are still scarcely a match for our famous Eoglish professional clubs, but their efforts towards victory are invariably appreciated and cheered by the thousands who watch their matches.> TROTTING.The Kecord of the Kansas Yearlings Broken.ARUENE, Kas., Nov,

f llowing letter tu The Scott:3h Sport in reply to some remarks by that paper regarding th, \u201cWestern Football Annual\u201d for 1891 : In the first place permit me to correct the impression that here in Canaua we 1lay on grounds undefined, or perhaps unde finable.In truth, we are more exact in this respect than the Scottian F.A.Referring to the laws of the game (\u201cScottish Annual\u2019), I find \u201cthat che maximum length shall be 200 yards.\u201d Is this a landwark, or a simple relic?For surely no Scottish clab is still of the opinion that football can be played on a field 200 by 100.In our laws of the game we define the limits within which it is posgible to play football, and im our cup competition raie we complete the definition in a manner quite as exact as 1n any C.C.rules extant (vide rale 8, p.11).No; we \u201cpsy pu attention io the size, shape and pusiti n of the bars and studs on players\u2019 buot~,\u201d a8 our experience has never brougut these points to a serious issue; but, which is very much batter, we do pay attention to the character of the players filling the boo:s, as witness our amateur law.Then we decidedly object to be \u201csidetracked\u201d on the referee question.This is a clear case of stealing our thunder, Six long years ago we adopted the one- man system, and relegated the so-called umpires, but, strictly speaking, field captains, to silence and oblivion.In our system the referee sslecis the two am- pires, and wisely stations them at the points where they are likely to prove the most serviceable, viz., at each goal.Their respective duties are clearly and fully defined in rule 13, C.C.rules, p.12, Though not embodied ia the competition rales, it has grown to be an established custom for the referee to appoint two ftouch-fine judges to assist him in determining doubtful touches.On the referse question Canadian footballers bave an undoubted right to congratulate themselves on their perspicacity, and their happiness will bein a measure complete when the \u201cfour national associations in their united wisdom\u201d shall adopt the Canadian system in 1ts entirety.When sensibie refereeing of this class prevails we shall not be greeted with press reports to the effect that goals are frequently woa oa \u201coffsides,\u201d and occasionally when the ball has not passed through the goal at all.Your \u201cpenalty rule\u201d was not in print when the \u201cW, F.A, Annual\u201d was issued, and hence no notice could have been taken of it, but as so for we have little or no use for such a rule in purely Canadian matches,we (being somewhat Scotch you know) shall doubtless carefully criticise its working \u2018over the sea\u2019 before raghly nndert aking more than referees are likely to properly handle.: It is hardly]necessary to further trespass on your valuable space, and yet I cannot resist the temptation to refer to the progent interpretation of the \u201coff.HERALD FRIDAY NOVEMBER 6 lsy) ride\u201d rule, by reminding your readers thatthe interpretation was established by \u201cprogressive\u201d Canada M 1880.Sy that afier all is said, it Cannot be gain- ssid that the

Clppez says: Edwin Hedley, the amateur oargeman, holdg the world\u2019s record for time made in à dash of a quarter of a mile, but that must not be regarded as indicating that he is essentially a short distance rower, for be 18 built on a model which evidences the possession of excellent staying powers also.He is a native of the Keystone State, having been born at Philadelphia on July 23, 1866, so that he is now in his prime as an athlete.He is 5 ft.104 in.in height, and his weight in cor dition is between 155 and 160 pounds.He made his first essay at sculling about September, 1890, previous to which time be was a complete novice, having been employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company from boyhood, and never having had an opportanity to indulge in such recreauions.Ths first race in which be took part outside of his club regattas was at the annual regatta of the Harlem Rowing Association, June 13, 1891, when ne won the junior sculls, rowing the mile in 7m, 27e.He wae next a contestant at the regatta of the Schuylkill Navy, June 20.He won the senior sculls in 10m.4s; with G.Van Vliet as partner won the double scull race for the Vespers, and rowed stroke of the winning boat in the race for quadruple scull shells, the time being 8m.53s.From the Quaker City be proceeded to Baltimore, Md., and took part in the regatta of the Patapsco Navy on June 25.He was successful in the race for the senior sculls, rowing the mile and a half, straightaway, in 10m., and finishing ten lengths ahead of C.C.Smithgon, of the Potomac B.C., of \u2018Washington, and with C.J.Saenger as partner won the double scull shell event in 10m.42s.He was next seen at the Cup and People\u2019s.Regatta on the Bchuylkill River, Philadelphia, on July 4, wien he proved the winner of the senior

good judges to Frad Hawkins, of the Manhattan Athletic Club, who, however.had to be content with third place, Hedley and Van Viet also won the double scall race in 9m.34s., easily defeating Belger and Quill of the Varuna Boat Club, of Biooklyu.The Vesper Club crack nsxt started in the quarter mile dash at the regatta of the Middle States Regatta As- 8>ciation, held on the Passaic River, Newark, N.J., July 10.Hedley wou the event handily in the remarkable fas; time of 578, which easily beat the record, showing the wonderful speed of which the winner was possessed.Fred Hawkins finished second and E, J.Carney third.He also started in the senior scolls, but this time he suffered defeat at the bands of Hawkins, who finished peariy two lengthe abead in 9m.36s., with W.Caffrey (the present champion), about three qaurters of a length behind Hedley.The latter and his clubmate Van Vilet, were also compelied tg play second fiddle in the double skull race, which was won by Belger and Quill of the Varunas, two lengths ahead of Vaspers, with McMagus and Nagle, of the Manhattan Athletic Club, third by a length and a half.His next race was at a regatta held at Asbury Park, N.J., Aug.1, where he won the single sculi event.His last appearance on the water for the season was made at the annaal regatta of the National Associstion, held on the Potomac River, at Washington, D.C., August 18,19.He was among the contestants in the three-quarter mile dash, in wbich he suffered defeat, but he can- pot be said to have been beaten strictly on his merits, as he finished fitth to J.W.Bergin, of the Bradford Boat Club, who touk 1m 298 to cover the distance, and in their trial heat of the sentor scuil race, later on, Hedley defeated Bergin by nearly seven seconds.In the final beat of the latter event Hedley came in third, Caffrey winning in 10m 3 2-5s,with T.W.Higgins second.Hedley may be expected to improve next season, when he will doubtless again ba a candidate for the nighest honors to be gained at the National Regatta, with an exceilant prespect of success.¢ _\u2014 BOWLING.the Amatenr The First Game of the Season.The tirst game in the Bowling Association League will take

PROGRESS INTERESTING PARAGRAPHS CULLER FROM VARIOUS FIELDS.Proloaging Human Life\u2014Dr.Richardson: Advises Parents to Give Their Childr @ & Start in This Direction Under Faves able Conditions \u2014Eleetrical Notas.The gradual lengthening of human Hfe is among the achievements of moders civilization.It suggests that a vigor ous old age may be in » consid: erable degree dependent upon personal conduct, and Dr.B.W.Richardson advises that parents give their children a start in the most favorable conditions by protecting them from mental shocks and unnecessary griefs, and making their surrounding as happy as pom sible.The persons themselves, when older, should avoid grief and eschew hate, Jealousy, unchastity, and intemperance, all of which hasten the coming of old age.When old age has really begun, its progress may be reduced to sa minimum by securing the least friction and waste.Rules for tLis include subsistence on a moderate quantity of light but nutriti: ous food, varying according to the season| dressing warmly, bu: lightly, to preserve an even temperature; keeping the body in fair exercise and the miud active and cheerful maintaining an interest in the world\u2019s affaira, and taking a reasonable share in its labon and pleasures; securing plenty of sleep at proper hours ina comfortable room; and avoiding passion, excitement, and luxury, Thoughtful living in this way may enable a weak man to outlive his robust but less wise neighbor.Interesting Domestic Invention, An invention of considerable domestiy interest, recently brought forward in Eng, land, consists in making any article of hosiery, for either outside or under wear, in such a manner as to render it perfectly self-fitting, without being narrowed of stitches reduced or widened, or the artiely increased in any way by transforming th fabrics at intervals and in such a manned as to give the required shapes., accomplishing this there are employed twa descriptions of fabric, respectively termed one-and-one rib and two-and-two rib, these two kinds of fabric being made and joined in the knitting as one operation without changing, transferring, or in any way naré rowing a single stitch during the process of manufacture.\u2018This causes, by the increased elasticity of the two-and-two rib over the ° one-and-one rib, the decrease in size to the necessary shape, and, when changed again ta : one-and-one rib the fabric is again of ite original width, No seaming, linking, sewing, ete., is resorted tu.Resisting Power of Stones.Some further experiments in regard tG the frost resisting power of natural and artificial building stones haye been mad¢ by Bauschinger, with some t weniy-one differs | ent kinds of natural building stones, threq to six test pieces of each being used, and with results of peculiar practical value Their tensile strength, dry and wet, thei capacity for absorbing water, their alteras tion in volume, tensile strength and be havior toward water after freezing and tha- venty-five times, also thei spe\u2019 \"these points were care fu! ned ang recorded.Out of this numb.+aples, Fanging from Jimestone to sandssone, only :ix were found to resist re peated freezing, viz., one of the dolorite, on¢ of diorite, and four of sandstones.Fom other samples were found freezing fairly, buf not absolutely; and of forty-one samples of artificial stones similarly tested, only three were found entirely unaffected, while eighi proved fairly resistant.The Latest Portable Captive Balloon.The latest type of poftable captive balloon weighs, with gas generator and an drum, not more than six or seven tons, an has a capacity varying from 17,500 to 21,004 cubic feet.The gas\u2014hydrogen\u2014is produ by the decomposition of water at the rate 8,750 to 10,500 cubic feet per hour.The works near Paris, at which these equipments arg turned out, will soon complete the largest air-ship ever constructed.The immense balloon of the Paris Exhibition had a capacity of 105,000 cubic feet and carried twelve persons; but the capacity of the new one will be over 2,000,000 cubic feet and if will be able to carry 180 passengers in a ear 85 feet in diameter.A still more extraordinary product of these works will be an \u201c\u2018aerial torpedo boat, \u201d which has been ordered by the Russian Government for secret experiment.Thisis tobe an elongated bal loon, 170 feet long, with a 50-horse-power engine, and is to be driven 25 miles an hour by a fan 36 feet in diameter.Remarkable Optical Illusion.A remarkable optical illusion was shown by Prof.8.P.Thompson at a late conver sazione of the London Royal Society.On two rotating discs were spiral patterns in black and white, which seemed to move radially inwards and outwards, respectively.On gazing fixedly for about one minute af the centre of one disc, and then suddenly transferring his gaze to any object\u2014say a face\u2014the observer saw that object apparently enlarging from the middle outwards.After gazing similarly for a minute at the second disc, and then looking at any tbject, he saw it apparently diminishing.Phosphorus Making by Electrieity.In ® sew English process of making phos phorus by electricity, the raw material and eoke are all fed into a specially designed fur- mace, reduced to vapor by electric heat, §ad the vapor condensed into marketable phos phorus.The elaborate chemical treatment of the raw materials hitherto practiced is thus avoided.The world\u2019s annual consump tion of phosphorus is only about 2,000 tons Electrical

I do nod believe he was ever truly knighted, ® ___ \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d said the duke, with a dubious shake of the head.{ There's something in connection with that affair which I cannot fathom.He must have been knighted, for Alfonso of Modena conferred the order himself, ard there is the mystery.Why should the count have done it?But that isnot all.Who are these knights of Saxony that made themselves so conspicuous at the tournament?They have had something to do with this.\u201d \u201cNever mind,\u201d cried the prince, with an oath.\u2018Let them go as they came.What care we for the burly braggrats of the North?If Orlando Vendorme hath set himself down again in our city, we must take care of him.Did you not see how the sight of his face affected our fair princess?\u201d \u2018\u2018Aye\u2014I marked it well.\u201d \u201cAnd do you not believe that even now she would flee to this outcast if she had the opportunity?\u201d \u201c\u201cYes\u2014I am sure she would.\u201d *\u2018Then how long shall we suffer him to remain in our city?\u2019 The duke looked into his son\u2019s face, and a half-waking smi.e flitted across his dark countenance, \u201cWhy do you ask me that question, Ludo- vico?\u201d \u201cBecause I would know if we are to be ridden upon by a dog.\u201d \u201c\u2018Wait\u2014wait, my son.Do you get over your lameness, and get ready for your marriage with Rosabel, and if Orlando Ven- dorme is here to trouble you after that, you may set it down that the Duke of Milan has been again thwarted.Do you understand me?\u201d \u201cI think I do,\u201d replied the prince, watching the shadows of evil as they played over his father's face.\u201cThen get thee to bed, and nurse thyself carefully, so that Rosabel of Bergamo may have a husband assoon as may {be, for the sooner you secure her the better may it be,\u201d Ludovico arose from his chair, and moved towards the door, but before he reached it, he turned and gazed again upon his parent.\u201cMy father,\u201d he said, in a low, earnest tone, \u2018\u201cÏ wish to ask you a question, and your answer may be as you please.I do not from curiosity, but from a desire to fortify myself and to help you at the same time.We have spoken of Orlando Vondorme, Do you fear him?\u201d \u201cor?cried the duke, stamping his foot upon the floor.Do not understand me.I mean\u2014would you fear him if you could not sweep him irom your path?\u2019 \u201cWhy do you ask that question?\u201d \u2018Because Ï have reason forit.I have seen some things, and they have led me ta think; and they have led me to ask myself questions which I cannot answer.Why has Alfonso of Modena taken such à strange interest in the outcast?What does it mean] And who is that boyish count thatcalls himself Lord of Hartburg?Why was he here with his train of knights?Why did he too take such an interest in Vendorme?Thess are the things that puzzle me.\u201d \u201cAnd they puzzle me as well, son.But they do not frightenme.I will solve theproblem as Alexandersevered the Gordian knot.Now go to your bed, and obey the instructions of your physicians,\u201d Ludovico left the apartment without asking any more questions, and in a little while after he was gone Sir Hugh de Castre entered.- a \u201cGood, my captain,\u201d cried-the duke, \u2018] have been waiting for you, Have you left everything?\u201d \u2018As quiet as I can desire, my lord,\u201d replied de Castro, \u2018The streets are in order, and the wineshops are closed.\u201d \u201cGood.Be seated, sir, and listen ta me.\u201d Hugh de Castro had been Manfred\u2019s com panion almost from boyhood, and he wat just the man for a tyrant\u2019s tool, bold, daring and unscrupulous, with just ambi tion enough to fill the place he held, he was willing to do anything to please the man who kept him in a station of authority and power.Had he been more intelligent, he might have proved a dangerous friend for his master, but he knew his own weal points, so he did not aspire to rule, \u201cMy captain,\u201d said the duke, after the Might Lad drunk a cup of wine, \u201c\u201cwhai think you of the youngster that overcame you at the tournament?\u201d â De Castro bit his lip and clenched his st.\u201cHe is à stout rascal, my lord.\u201d \u201c\u2018Aye\u2014I know that, but L would discover what your opinion is touching another matter.Have you seen him since you lefl the list?\u201d \u201cI caught a glimpse of him through the shop window this evening, my lord, as he was at work at the bench.\u201d \u201cAh\u2014that\u2019s it, my captain.How like you the idea of the champion of our city working at the forge?\u201d \u201cIt is humiliating.\u201d \u201cOf course itis.\u201d \u201cBut I can\u2019t see why he does it,\u201d said de Castro.There is something mysterious about the whole affair.\u201d \u201cWould it hurt you, my dear Hugh, tc know that this upstart champion was\u2014oncs more banished from Milan?\u2019 \u2018\u2018No\u2014indeed it would not.But, my lord, how can you do it?Has he done any.thing\u2014\u201d \u201cPshaw! you don\u2019t understand me.1 mean\u2014how would you like to see him banished from this earth?\u201d \u201cAh\u2014now I comprehend.Obo\u2014I see it now.And, my lord duke, you touch me in the right place.\u201d \u201cGood, my captain.I have thought of this thing and I have concluded that it must be done, and, furthermore, I have wondered who would help me in the work.\u201d \u201cHold, my lord.You need wonder no more.Here is my hand.Let me but have your ducal order, and the thing is done.\u2019 \u201cDon\u2019t misunderstand me, de Castro.I mean not to issue my edict.The work, if done at all, must be done so secretly that the story shall never be told.There must be no arrest\u2014no noise.He must be slipped off as quietly as possible.\u201d Hugh de Castro poured out a cup of wine, and when he had drank it, he said, as he put the cup down by way of emphasis: \u201cI understand you, and it shall be done; and in one week from this time those whe seek for Orlando Vendorme shall seek in vain!\u201d \u201cAnd now,\u201d cried Manfred, rising from his seat, \u201c\u201cI can seek my couch in some manner of comfort.A fitting reward awaits thee, my captain, when the deed is done.\u201d * + * * * * * Orlando Vendorme went at work in the old shop on the very next day after the tournament.He had promised the young lord of Hartburg that the armor should be made ; and, unaer all the circumstances of the case, he could not hesitate.He felt that he was running some risk, but he would not allow the fear of his enemies to deter him from fulfilling his obligation.He went at his work in the forenoon, and before night he had succeeded in forming a pattern of chain to suit him, He produced some fine wire so subtile that it yielded almost like threads of gold when bent or twisted, and yet of a temper so keen that a sword could not cut it.Thus successful in the outset, he flattered himself tbat he should produce for Theodore of Hartburg a Pr LE suit of maii utterly impenetrable Lo mortal w \u2018 Te is the finest steel I ever saw,\u201d maid Michael, after he had put the wire to the test.\u201cThat is scmething which 1 could aever do.\u201d \u2018\u201c But you shall do it, Michael, before this armor is finished ; so that, when 1 again leave you to yourself, you can furnish mail equal to any ever made by Roderic Ven- dorme or his son.How will that please you ?\u201d * So well,\u201d replied Michac! clapping his bands with joy, *\u2018 that I shall be the happiest man alive.When I can make a network like that which you now possess, I shall be able to do that which no other ersnorer in Milan, save Yourself, can accomplish.\u201d \u201cThat is even so,\u201d returned Orlando.\u201c* And you shall have the fist secret this very night.\u201d Michael Totilla Lent himself with careful attention to the instruction of his young master, and before the expiration of another day he was alle to compound the ingredients necessary to the tempering of the steel, and practice would soon perfect him in the work, Orlando had been at work nearly a week at his forge without having once left the house.He had worked thus steady for two reasons.First, he wished to get the suit of mail done as soon as possible ; and, second, he had no desire to be gazed upon by a curious multitude, and troubled with impudent questions, from which latter cause he had kept the house.But finally, when the steel was all fashioned, and ready for weaving into the intricate network, our hero concluded to take a stroll through the city.It was in the evening, and Michael had one out to do some purchasing for the larder.\u201c\u201c Are you going out?\u201d asked Cinthia, as she saw Orlando buckling on his sword.\u201c* Yes, my sister.I think I have been shut up here about long enough ; and it is time that I had some fresh air.You won\u2019t be lonely, will you ?\u201d \u201c\u201cO, no,\u2014it isn\u2019t that, sir.I was thinking that you might wait until Michael came back 3 and then he could bear you com.Vv.3 Ah,\u201d returned Vendorme, with a smile, \u2018you don\u2019t understand my turn of mind.I want to study and reflect ; and so I prefer to walk alone.\u201d \u201cBut, sir,\u201d pursued Cinthia, with evident concern, \u201cyou don\u2019t understand any better than I do.There may be danger if you venture out alone.\u201d \u201cDanger!\u201d cred Orlando.\u201cDanger in the streets of Milan! Pooh! impossible,\u201d \u201c\u2018Ah, my brother, you do not reflect.You have enemies in Milan; and they are high in power, too.And I think I have seen strange men lurking about our house of late.I know I saw one last night.\u201d \u201cNever mind, Cinthia.I thank you for your kindness of thought; but I cannot hive myself up here like a frightened criminal, You see I have my good sword for a com- Fanion, and while this is by me I shall not fear any lurkingenemies.If Michael comes back before I do, you may tell him that I have gone to walk by the Saveso.Keep u a good heart; sweet sister, and don\u2019t let the ghosts and goblins come in te disturb you.\u201d Cinthia tried to smile, but the effort was fruitless; yet she spoke cheerfully and urged Orlando to keep his eyes open for danger.As our hero left the house he cast his eyes carefully about him, but saw nothing to attract particular attention.There were several persons in the street, but they seemed bent upon business of their own.The night was clear and calm, and the stars were out in all their glory, There had been a northerly breeze during the latter part of the day, so that some of the coolness of the far off Alps was mingled with the atmosphere.Slowly and thoughtfully the youth pursued his way, and he reached the neighbordood of the eastern river he turned to the left, and walked towards the old tilting- round.As he was walking thus, with his head bowed, he heard footsteeps behind him, and on turning he saw a man approaching.He had no desire to meet any one who might recognize him, so he turned away from the direct path, and walked more slowly.The man behind came up and passed on, turning when close by our hero and regarding him with evident interest ; but he did not stop ; he only slackened his pace little, and then moved on, and was soon out of sight beyond a clump of oleanders.With no further thought of the passer, Vendorme pursued his way until he finally reached the scene of the tournament.The gates of the list were open, and he entered, and moved towards the platform where the duke had sat.When he reached the spot where he had knelt to receive the conquerors scarf, he stopped, and bowed his head upon his bosom.\u2018\u201c Alas!\u201d he murmured, \u2018\u201cand thus the strife must end! O, Rosabel, thou hast crossed mypathlike a brightly flashing star, blinding me for the while to all else of earth ; but thou canst no more bless me\u2014no more beam upon me.Into my solitude of life I will carry the remembrance of thy sweet face ; and my soul shall be cheered by the belief that thou did\u2019st feel for me some tender emotion.In a few short weeks my native city will know me no more.And so, sweet Rosabel, farewell 1\u2019 Alittle while after thus speaking the youth stood with his arms folded upon his breast, and then he turned from the spot.He had comenear to the gate, and was about to pass through, when a man, coming from without, ran full against him, ~ - \u201cHow now, dog!\u201d cried the stranger, starting back a pace.He was a huge powerful fellow, topping our hero by almost a head, and swelling out about the shoulders to the proportion of a giant.Orlando could not be mistaken in the person.It was a noted bravo named Matteo \u2014a fellow stained with a thousand crimes, but who had for the past few years served Hugh de Castro in the capacity of guardsman.\u201cHow is this, villain?\u201d the fellow continued, with a fierce oath.\u201cWhy do I find you lurking about this out-of-the-way place?Get thee hence, or I'll spit thee upon my sword, and serve thy body up to the fishes of the Saveso!\u201d Without stopping to consider, Orlando resented this right promptly, \u201cIf you have business to intercept peace: ful citizens, then know that I am exempt from your oversight; but if you seek a quarrel, you had better consider upon it before you begin,\u201d \u2018Ho, ho, my boy, you will oppose an officer of the guard, will you! Take that for your trouble.\u201d And as the bravo thus spoke, he struck the youth in the face.Quick as thonght Orlando sprang back, and drew his sword.\u201cVillain!\u201d he shouted, \u201cif you push me further, you shall rue it!\u201d \u201cHo, ho, you draw you sword upon the gnard, do you! Now, you shall find how fine a thing itis! Mind\u2014you have attacked me\u2014you drew your sword first\u2014you invite the conflict.\u201d In a moment it flashed upon our hero that this fellow had been set on to work by his superiors, and that a deadly conflict had been meant from the first, He now saw through the warning of Cinthia; and he understeod the business of the stranger who had him ontheroad.This wasa plot of bis enemies, and its meaning was, that TO BE CONTINUED, \u2014 A Sea Voyage, À sea voyage is 1» expansive and an extensive pressriptisr, esneciallv whea equally good results as regards health, are to be had by simply taking Burdock Blood Bitters according to directions.1 is a Epecific for dyspepsia, cleasnses the blocd, regulates the liver, bowels and kidre)s and removes all impure matter .from the system.THE MONTREAL HERAL\" HRE)AY NOVEMBER 61891 GOLD MEDAL, PARIS, UMS, W.Bux & Co.s w-55 Breakfast Gocoa from which the excess of M oil has been removed, is Absolutely Pure and it is Soluble.No Chemicals - are used in its preparation.It has more than three times the strength of Cocoa mixed with Starch, Arrowroot or Sugar, and is therefore far more economical, costing less than one cent a cup.elt is delicious, nourishing, strengthening, EASILY DIGESTED, and admirably adapted for invalids as well as for persons in health, ° Sold by Grocers everywhere.W.BAKER & GO.Dorchester, Mass.Cor King & John.STREET, TORONTO This mew and elegantly furnished hotel.underthe managoment of Mr.- M.Mathews, late o oO ready for hereception of pasion!

chief had not got the portfolio he wanted, but they claimed that be had won a substantial victory over the Congervative factions in Ontario and thie Province which had opposed his promotion\u2014Premier Abbott had practl- cally conceded his right to nominate the Ministers from this Province.This was tantamount to acknowledging Chapieau as the French-Congervative leader, and the proof was furnished by the entrance of Hon.J.À.Ouimet- into the Cabinet.Thus, while it is true that Mr, Chapleau has waived his claims to the portfolio of Railways and Canals, the chief part of the backing down has been done by Mr, Abbott, who has practically placed two important portfolios directly under the conirol of the former; for it is well- krown that Mr.Owimet, as the fidus Achates ot Mr.Chapleau, will implicitly obey the bidding of his friend and chief, AS to the arrangement of portfolios, Mr.Chapleau\u2019s friends are authority for the announcement that he will be Minister of the Interior in place of Mr.Dewdney,who gets the Governorship of British Columbia, that Mr.Ouimet will be Secretary of State, and that Lieutenant Governor Angers will come in us Minister of Publie Works, seeking the seat in Mon mo- rency, vacated by Mr.Tarte, while Sir A.P.Caron goes to Epercerwood as Lieutenant Guvernor.It 18, of course, assumed that Mr.Angers will acknowe ledge Mr, Chapleau as the French Con- fervative leader.With Mr.Abbott as Premier, should he take a portfolio, this arrangement will give four portto- lice to this Province.Mr.Ives will thereicre be justified in enquiring where he comes in, and it may assumed that his following in the Eastern Townships will have decided objections to his being left out in the cold.Mr.Curran, also teems to be left out in this deal.He is ckarged with having tried to knife Cha- pleau.Thre effort would sesm to have proved a boomerang, Ontario Congervatives do not appear to be anywhere in this Cabinet-making business.The report is again revived, but not confirmed, that Mr.Meredith ia to come in as a representative of that Province, and it is also intimateë that the CEapleau Conservatives of this Province are willing that the Militia porttolio should go to Mr.Kirkpatrick\u2014a condescension which will no doubt be appreciated by the friends of that gentie- man.As to the portfolio of Railways and Canals it seems to be conceded that it will be held, for the present at least, by Mr.Bowell, and if Me, Clark Wallace comes in he must have a portfolio of some sort.Leaving the Cabinet representation of the Maritime Provinces to stand as at present, and giving a portfolio to some memberin Manitoba, British Columbia or the Northwest, the reconstructed Ministry would stand as follows: ONTARIO\u2014 Meredith, Bowel], Haggart, Wallace, Kirkpatrick, QUEBEC\u2014 Abbott, Chapleau, Ouimet, Angers.Nova Ecoria\u2014Bir John Thompson, \u2018 Tupper.Nxw Brunswick\u2014Foster, Costigan.Norrawzsr\u2014Not decided, This gives fourteen Ministers, so that : One of them will have to do without a portfolio.It will be noticed there is no place for Peter White, unless Haggart can be squeezed out\u2014and he objects to that.Mr.White will, therefore, have to hold on to the Speakership and Mr.Wood, of Brockville, will have to wait, The constellation is not a brilliant one.This Province seems to hold the double-barreled leadership\u2014Abbott ana Chapleau.In the old days of the Mac- donald-Cartier regime, Ontario had one of the leaders, but under this shuffle she \u201cis not in it,\u201d unless Mr.Meredith can manage to squeeze Mr.Abbott out of the Premiership.For the present Quebec comes out on top and Chapleau driumphe.The question is whether Ontario will submit to an arrangement of portfolios which has practically been dictated by Quebec.That is the next trouble Mr.Abbott has to face.; \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014>0e- BErORE ABUSING the Grand Trunk Railway Company so vigorously as he did after the last general elections, Sir Charles Tupper should have had the decency to pay that little bill of $1015.The Teople of Canada have decided objections to paying it CARTIER AND CHAPLEAU.Comparison has been made in the French press between the present attitude of Mr.Cbapleau and that assumed by 8ir George Cartier, when he became Minister of Militia in the first Dominion Cabinet.The comparison is hardly just to either.Speaking in the House of Commons on the question of Cabinet construction, Sir George said that his first desire was to become Minister of Justice, because he was an avocat and there were questions connected with the Dominion judiciary which closeiy affected his people.But the Premier had chosen that portfolio for himself, and as he (Cartier) was the fighting maa of the Government, he chose the depart: ment of Militia.Those acquaint ed with the political situation at that time will remember that the Militia Bill was a burning question.Colorel McDougall, afterwards General Sir Patrick McDougall, was then adju- tact general commanding the milia.He proposed & bill which was printed and submit ed to the Government for ap\u201d proval.Somehow the press got hold of it, and it Was published.A storm of criticism assailed it, although it was approved by many leading officers of the force.This was fortunate for Sir George Cartier, inasmuch as he learned from the discussion what sort of militia legislation would go down with the country.He then introduced snd carrizd the bill, which js still in force.It will thus be seen that Sir George Lad a distinct, statesmanlike object in accepting what many at the time considered a subordinate portfolio.T'hat he achieved his object is proved by the fact that his Militia act has worked well since its passage, only having bad to be amended from time totime asthe country developed and new conditions came into existence.Its main features, however, have never been changed.Mr.Chapleau occupies a far different position.As his let er tothe editor of The Hamilton Spectator shows, he does not seek the portfolio of Railways and Canals witha viewto settle any burning question connected therewith.He asks it as the fulblment of an alleged promise.He may feel, as Bir George Cartier frankly confessed, that he could serve the interests of his people to more advantage in one place than in another, but he should bear in mind ,that he does not occupy the same position in the estimation of his party that Sir George Cartisr held.Sir Hector Lange- vin, although named his succes:or, never wielded the power or commanded the irfluence of Sir George.Mr.Chap- leau may now claim the succession, but he will find that the virtues and services that placed Cartier atthe head of his race, are precisely those which he has failed to cultivate, and, more melancholy still, it is too late for him to begin now to acquire such virtues or claim a record of such gervices.rn AN UNFORTUNATE QUEEN.Ifit is any consolation to her, the Queen of Roumauia has thesympashy of the world in her troubles.Being of a poetic, romantic temperament, she is about the most unfitted person imaginable to occupy a leading position in one of the most exposed places in the storm centre of European politics.As if the distractions of political intrigues involving the throne of her husband and the freedom of her people were not enough, the complication ot & wholly impracticable love affair between her son and une of her maids of honor has been added.Following the bent ot her romantic inclinations, she favored the marriage, which neither King Charles, his ministers nor the Czar will permit, In other ways she has had the misfortune to incur the enmity of Russia, whose agents, iireless as they are mercl- less, have made her lifeso miserable that she fled to Italy for rest and peace.But, barring her poetry and romance, Queen Elizabeth isa model women and has adorned ber trying pcsition with many virtues, When she arrived at Bucharest, the capital city of a proud, picturesque, but half-barbaroug people, she was a stranger to their language and customs.But her purity of life in an immoral court, her intellectual qualities and winning kindnegs secured her the respect and confidence of her capricious sabjects.She studied their national history, learned their language and wrote their folklore to the delight of Europe.In works of charity and benevolence she has been ever foremost.She founded schools, organized hospital services, and encouraged the development of Roumanian manufactures, But with all her fine qualities, she has been unable to bear up against the miseries of her unhappy position.In any other sphere of Life Carmen Sylva would be & graceful personality, whose beneficence would

withont en- dertaking the impossible task of disarming the half-savage, turbulent and wholly intractable Albanians.Their country corresponds to ancient Illyria in its northern part and to the Epirus in its southern.Ali the inhabitants, except a few in the western seaports, are Mohammedans, for they will allow no other profession of faith to exist among them.There were many Christian Albanians at one time, but, after the death of Scanderbeg, all went over to Islam, Anarchy may truly be said to be their only idea of government.They defy the Porte and are eyerlastingly at war among themselves.Neighboring villages and even sections ot villages are often at deadly feud.Robbery and murder are their chief occupations, All will remember Byron's description TEE MCNTRFAL BERALU FRI: AY NOVEMBER 6 1891 of Ali Pasha and the Suliotes who opposed him, The state of the country has changed buf little since then and that little for the worse, owing to the decline of the central government.Their country, made up in about equal parts of mountains and swamps, is destitute of rods and bridges.ence the enormous dffi- culty ot the task the Tarkish Government is said to have
