Retaliation: Orrawa,Dec.9.\u2014The retaliation against Newfoundland now being inaugurated wears an ugly look and will be particularly prejudicialto Montreal's large trade with Newfoundland.The clause imposing the duties in question passed five Or six years ago 80 1ncensea the New- toundlanders that they retaliated at once by imposing special Leavy duties on flour and other Canadian prolucts.They may adopt the same course now.It is evident that the Octawa Admii istration 1s being forced on to a retaliatory instead of & reciprocal policy which must end disastrously for Canadian trade.The present action is no tat all in line with the Govornment\u2019s announcement last session, looking towards the promotion of trade between all the other British colonies of the empire.As an indication of the present spirit of the Newfoundiand Government the two following telegrams, which passed between North Sydney, N.S,, and St John\u2019s, Newfoundland, may be taken.The first, which is from Mr.Douglas A.Smith, of North Sydney, one of the men wost extensively interested in the fish trade and general shipping, is,as follows: To Premier Whiteway, St.John\u2019s, Nfld, : As a modus vivendi would you accord Nova Scotia vessels the privilege of procuring frozen and salted herring in bulk by paying tonnage tax eaca trip, andhow much ?Wire reply promptly.D.A.SMITH, Sir William Whiteway replied as follows: To D.A.Smith, North Sydney : The Government regrets that the action of the Dominion Government prevents your proposition being entertained.WHITEWAY, Premier.ep FRANCE AND THE FAIR, Indifference of Many French Merchants\u2014 Complaints About the Tarif, Paris, Dec.9\u2014Inquiries have been made among the leading exporters of France concerning their participation in the Chicago exhibition, The merchants whose views are given were designated by the United States Consular Corps in France as the representative men of their respective branches of business.M.Ernest Lourdelet, member of the Paris Chamber of Commerce, said :\u2014 *Thoogh the McKinley bill discourages us to no little extent, we cannot abdicate so easily from our hold on American markets, and the leading French exporters will ma ke every eflert to present excellent exhibits.Messrs, Warnier & David, the Rheims woollen merchants, say: \u2018What interest could they take in sending an exhibit to a country where no market is to be ound ?\u201d Mr.John Naegely, of Naegely & Co, well known Marseilles wool exportars, says: \u201cThe Chicago exposition excites little interest here.The Chamber of Commerce of Marseilles has, I hear, been requested by the French government to endeavor to attract exhibit rs, and has done so, but up to the present not a single adhesion, or demand for space, has been officially registered.T is is, of course, extremely nataral, when the protective stem of the United States is considered.In reality they feel confident hat their large supplies of cotton, petroleum and food stuffs will be want, and 80 lay down the law as to suit them.\u201d Antoine Guinet & Co., the Lyons silk exporters, said : \u201cWe believe that the little enthusiasm which the Lyons manufacturers evince in preparing for the Chicago exposition must be attributed to the effect of the new American tariff.\u201d F.Vanoutryve & Co., of Roubaix, manufacturers of upholstery goods, who do a very large business with America, said : \u201cThe tariff so interrupts our commerce that there i8 no encouragement to French manufacturers to undergo the the expenses entailed by exhibiting at the Chicago Exposition.We are convinced that the manufacturers of the north of France will, almost to a man, abstain from exhibiting at Chicago.\u201d Similar expressions as to the lack of advantage to French manufacturers and merchants in making exhibits at the Chicago Exposition were made by many other exporters and manufacturars.May Have Been a Murder.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, Port

including extras, The lower court gave them $251,000, but tbrew out the claim for extras, and only gave the judgment on work done.This the C.P.R.now appeal against and are asking to have the judgment annulled.Mr, Blake opened for tbe company this morning.The case is a lengthy one, and the factums consist of ten large vol- ures and three appendixes, Ihe argument is likely to last for some taree

this club to catch bass by angling auring the close season, Las: year the permit was at first refused and finaily only given very reluctantly.This year it bas so far been refused; the gentlemen have had two interviews with Mr.Tupper.The Department of Figueries bas recently appointed a commission on the black bass question, and it is stated are more inclived to extend th- protection to the fish by increasing the duration of the close season rather than abolish any existing protective measure.A Quebec Act Disallowed, The Minister of Justice has reported in favor of the disallowance of the act

Jno.Thompson wrote me asking for a factum or statement in support of the bill.I complied with his request; quoting authorities and precedents at length and I am quite sure that the act can not be vetoed on grounds of unuonstitutionality.They may take the ground thatit isa bad measure and contrary to general policy, but the local legislature ought to be the best judge of that, Our mining act is not different in principle from the one passed by the Legislature last session.Requests had been made for amendments to the act, which were to have been considered at the coming session, A Prosperous

\u201c\u201c\u2018hat the secretary be instructed to ascertain from our Government whether the increased duty on flourin Newfoundland js especially directed against Canadian flours; if 80, that tbe

Q.C.,for the benchers ot the Law Society, made application to strike the name of J.B, Simpson, of Brockvil!e, off the ro!ls for alleged unprofessional conduct.The grounds of the charge were that Mr.Simpson, acting as a barrister, in an administration suit ot Roblin vs Roblin | Some years ago refused to pay ioto court some 35000, he was asked to give up.No ons appeared for Mr, Simpson, and after Mr.Hoskin had put his case, Mr.Justice Meredith said, before giving judgment, he would write to Mr.Simp- ton and bear what he had to say about the matter.The city treesurer is in receipt of

company\u2019s income having been put at considerably over $100,000 a year.The decrease is owing to tie reduction of rates, which will, no doubt, be overcome soon by an increased number of instruments used.The sub-committee of the Ministerial Asscciations, consisting of Revs.J.F.Gorman, W.A.Hunter, James Grant Hon, 8.H.Blake aud Ald.Boustead bave drawn up a petition in oppositiou to the inetitution

Troops Sent to Protect, or Rescus, Mr.Tully, Indiaa Agent at Lame Deer Agency\u2014Causes of the Trouble\u2014l'he Indians Intend to Drive the Settler Frem the Reservation at Once.Cricaco, Dec.9.\u2014General Miles, ti Indian fighter in command of the arm headquarters of Chica:o, is in possession of advices that leave no doubt that serious trouble is brewing among th Montana Cheyennes, under Chief Porcu pine, the most belligerent Indians unde Uncle Sam\u2019s care.The agency is withou any means for resisting the attack, Captain Thorne\u2019s troops having moved from their dugout of last summer; Daring the Sioux war of last winter a detachment of soldiers was sent to Lame Deer to watch the Cheyennes, who were restless and seemingly on the point of Joining the Sioux to the south.When the war was over the soldiers returned to Fort Keogh, but were replaced by two companies of infantry under command of Captain Thorne.Porcupine, however, was icstrumental in whipping the restless bucks into line and upon his protestations of friendship as much as anything else the troops were withdrawn last summer.The Cheyennes who live av the agency proper numter less than 200, but camped all along the banks of the creek are hundreds of able- bodied warriors, who come to agent Tal- 1y\u2019s bouse only on ration day.The reservation is ag rich as any of the Crows.It is one of the few garden spots in Montana.For years cattlemen have had their eye on the green valleys and often now and then a squatter has stoleu upoa the domaffi and built a cabin, The Lamp Deer Agency has besn the scene of oy tragic events in Indian warfare, ¢ After Custer and his command had been slaughtered at Little Big Horn, in June, 1876, Gen, Miles with a detachment of troops ran upon Chief Lame Deer, who was at the head of a war party of Cheyennes, Sioux and Ara- phoes.It was in the early morning and the Indian village was asleep.The scouts were sent out to stampeda the ponies, which were in a corral, and then the fight began.The Indians tled to the hills, hotly pursued by the troops.It was while fording the creek in the charge that General Miles had the closest call to death he has experienced as an Indian fighter.A bullet from a warrior's rifle, aimed directly at the General, pierced the forehead of his orderly aod the young fellow fell dead.Lame Deer was killed by a volley which also took the life of the brave wuo had attempted the general's life.Lame Deer is buried at the agency.One year ago Mule Bay and Big Chief, the dare devils of the Cheyenne reservation, were shot dead in full view of the agency buildings by a detachment of soldiers.During the previous winter the two fellows killed a sheep herder.They were finally run down by Spacial Agant Cooper, but the tribe would not give them up.The murders finally agreed to die, provided they were given a chance to die on their ponies.This was agreed to, and arrayed in paint and feathers, the youngsters dashed before the rifles of the soldiers and were shot dead in the presence of their relatives.The trouble, according to advices ra- ceived here, arose from an insignificant cause, as such Indian troubles usually do.It appearsthata day or so ago Sheriff Jones and Deputy C, H.Thompson arrived at Miles city with one of two Indians they arrested at Cheyenne agency for killing cattle.The other escaped by jumping from the buckboard and making for cover; he reached the hills though fired at several times.On the road, subsequently, the sheriff was overtaken by two Indian police with a message from agent Tully that a nnmb r of braves had gone to the hills with the fugitive, and had sent in word that they would fight and that an attack on the agency could be expected at apy time, The Cheyennes are dancing against the agent's orders.Tully sent a despatch last night to the commanding officar at Fort Koough, asking him to send troops,as an uprising is inevitable.The commander telegraphed the departniental headquarters, and at once orders were issued to send treops from Fort Koough to the Cheyenne agency.Since the order of General Land Office allowing settlers, who claimed prior right, on the raserva- tion trouble has been feared.Many gettlers were in Miles City last week making final entries.The Indians heard of this and will use all means to drive settlers from the reservation.The Cheyennes are fierce fighters and serious trouble ig looked for.The Cheyenne agens cy, at which agent Tully is stationed, is on Lame Deer Creek, about 40 miles from Fort Koough.The Cheyenues oa Tongue River under his charge number about 2000.Porcupine, the famous leader of the ghost dance on the reservation last year and the buck who made the pilgrimage to Wacker Lake to see the Messiah, lives near the agency.It has been known for some time that the Cbeyennes on Tongue River ware rsst- less because of the presenca of squatters on their reservation.General Miles and Captain Baldwin have made repsated teporta of the danger of trouble arising irom their equattirg in the rich valleys of the Rosebud,the Tongue and the Lame Deer streams.Lame Deer agency, which is now threatened with aftack, isin a rich valley near the banks of the creek from which it gets its name.The agency buildings face Agent Tully\u2019s house, which is but 100 feet away.Fifteen Cheyenne policemen constitute the agent's guard.It looks as though hig agency were to be the sceve of the most bloody uprising In its history.4 = MARITIME PROVINCE NOTES.Efforts to Float the Suaken Steamer Hewr- ther Belle Abandoned as Hopeless,

crow at the expense of the United States over the report that the cruiser Philadelphia is liable to capsizs owing to her immenses top hamper.Ssveral are busily engaged in preparing articles for service papers pointing out the mistakes made by the Americans in constructing the Philadelphia, which they claim, will be a complete vindication of English plans and workmanship.l'hey*point to the fact that the Baltimore, which wag built on the original designs, is a complete success, and that the Philadelphia was spoiled owing to the improvements added by the Americaus, .They refrain, however,

Montreal\u2014Canadien Snowshoe Club\u2014The Crescents To-night \u2014 Or- monde Going Baok to Eogland-Con- neffto Turn Professional, _\u2014 The third annual meeting of the shara- holders of the above Club was held at its office yesterday, the president, Mr.J.P.Dawes, occupying the chair.There was a good attendance of shareholders, and a long discussion was held about the prospects for the coming sea- soB,which was thought would be a most favorable one.The honorary treasurer, Mr.D.Mc- Intyre, jr., presented his financial statement, which was considered most gratifying, showing a good balance in favor of tue club, and although a dividend could have been declared, it was deemed advisable to pass it this year, and devote the profits towards improving the prope.ty at Bel-Air.The plans for the proposed new club house were placed before the shareholders, and were much admired.The election of directors resulted as follows: Jag, P.Dawes, Robt.Craik, M.D.Chas, Cassils, Wm.Hendrie Hamilton, Jas, O'Brien, Wm, C.Meln\u2018yre, Hugh Patop, J.H.Wardlow, D.McIntyre, jr.At a subsequent meeting of the directors the following officers were elected : J.P.Dawes, president.Robt, Craik, M.D, 1st vice-president.Chas.Cassils, 2nd vice-president, D.Mclntyre, jr., bon.treas.J.H.Wardlow, hon.secy.Jas.O'Brien and Hugh Paton were ap- Tointed to the executive.Guttenburg is Getting Back to its Oia Ways e Quick.A New York exchange says: Gutten- burg cannot bear a repetition of the scene enacted thegs Saturday.By dint of the ability and ceaseless vigilance of its presiding judge it had won a high place in the esteem of tarfiites, but another race like that in which Kimberly figured would take away from itthe good reputation which it has taken years to build up and leave it in a worse state than ever before.The time was\u2014and it is not 80 very long ago\u2014when the track Was not exactly looked upon as a model.Indeed it was far from it.But years of honest endeavor and justice have or had elevated it to a proud standing among the race tracks of the East and gave Ii easly the first place in good repute among the winter tracks.Bat lately there hag been a falling away from the high place which it occupied, Form has been Suchach ngenble thing as to render the talent suspicious, and when the affair of Saturday came it overtopped all the previous faults.There was a wild ery of \u201cfraud\u201d when Kimberly's price went up, and not without some reason.Had it been that Lepanto was being heavily played the rise would have been per- fectiy cleur.But Lepanto was not being Played.All the money was going in on Kimberlv, and the more that was played the more the bookies wanted.sverything considered, that was aun indication of \u201ca game\u201d 1n itself and one that could not be overlooked.Judge Burke's timely notice of the price and his warning to the jockey alone saved \u2019 the public from being defrauded.For as the race resultsd 1 think it was a misfortune or inability, rather than crooked riding, that lost it 10 Kimberly.As a finisher McDermott + 2 busgler of tbe first water, and his exhibition on Kimberly was no worse than that which he has givenin many previous races.The remedy for ills of 1h18 nature is hard ty prescribe.It 18 rne of the fortunes of the Sport that there should be such reversals, and as Buch it is generally accepted.That it is not accepted as such at Guttenberg is 1ather creditable to the track than otherwise fcr the dissatisfaction over this race speaks well for the honesty of the management.The Hudson County Jockey Club cannot bo too jealous of its reputation for providing clean sport, and if it is necessary to the preservation of this good name that both Kimberly and McDermott should be banished, then they should go.Another race similar to thet in which they figured Batarday and Guttenburg will become a synonym for all that is crooked and dishonest in racing.To mete out justice, swift and sure, to all offenders, regardless of position, is the only way to satisfy the public.Dosing Race-Horses.Scoundreligm on the turf finds no more forceful illustration than in the crime, oft-times perpetrated, of dosing horses.That there are men who will proceed to this method for gaining their ends in a Tace show how low humanity can descend in the scale of iniquity.Dosing is the administration of deleterious drugs.to deplete the powers of a horse and render him unfit to perform.The crime is born of the pool-box, and per- Petrated in the interest of a gembling combination, or for revenge by a vindictive groom.orses that stand high in the betting, es in the case of Hal Poicter, at Philadelphia, suddenly go off sick and are disabled for the time being.Favorites, that in previous races outstripped every rival, come straggling in ysrds in the rear wten started.\"The animals sometimes die, though it must be said tbat the intention is not generally to kill, but to disable for a particular race, The poison is administered in Various Ways ; in a lump of sugar, of which all horses are inordinately fond ; in an apple, or a few drops on the tongue, It is said that Budd Dobie, for several nights previous to one of the great races in which Goldsmith Maid was to perform, slept locked in the stall with the mare, and never left her day or night until the race was over.Other famous drivers and trainers have done the same thing, says an exchange.In England tbe crime of dosing is called \u201cnobbling.\u201d It was frequently practiced at the beginning of the present century.A notable instance was in 1825, when several horses entered at Newmar- ket were suddenly taken sick, and it was ascertained that they had been nobbled.\u201d The perpetrator for a long time remained undiscovered.At last, however, a notorious scoundrel, one Dan Danson, was caught red-handed poisoning the trooghe.During the trial it came out le bad made a regular trade of this nefaricos practice, and it was suspected thet not a few of the biggest men on the, turf were his employers.Danson was condemned to death and was executed, .The mcst minute precautions are taken to guard racehorses from such dangers, yet the cuaning of the scoundrels frequently proves more than a match for the cara of his owners.A mare, once famous around Now York on the eve ofa race at Waverly, N.J.' wag tampored by a miscreant, and when the race was called her moutn was found to be in a horrible condition from acid which had been dropped apon her tongue.In 1842, the famous racehorss Laner- cost was regarded as the certain wioner of the Ascot Cup.While he was being conveyed to the course in a van the grooms in charge stopped at an inn to refresh, leaving one to keep watch.Just after they had gone into the house two men in sailor dress came out of it, ap- rarently intoxicated.One of them jumped upon the van to take, as he said, \u201ca peep at the horse.\u201d The other diverted the attention of the groom, A moment after the man jumped down from the van, and both disappeared.When the race came on Lanercost came in last.He was never fit to run again.The sailor had, no doubt, administered 8 powerful drug in the fow moments he hung over the side of the van.Somewhere about the same time a horse named Marcus was the favorite for the St.Leger.The day before the race, while he and several other horses wer: standing at the Doncaster Arms, an ili- lcoking fellow entered the kitchen of the hotel and seated himself beside the boiler from which the stable lads wero every now and then drawing water for their horses.There was no ona in the kitchen save the maidservant, and the strarger sent her to fetch a pot of beer, The next morning two horges were found deed in their stalls, while Marcus, who was just able to run, came in last and died the next day.A postmortem revealed areenic in the stomachs of the horses.The loafer of tne kitchen had doubtless poisoned the water in the boiler, By the defeat of Marcus the owner of a horse named Chorister won £7000, There have been several terrible cases of poisoning in Amer, ca.Wagner, the famous racehorse, was poisoned in 1840 at Nasbville, and the result was that the grey mare Gamba, by Pacific, not naarly as good a racehorse as Wagner, won the race.Ed.Corrigan\u2019s great son of Longfellow, Freeland, was poisoned in a fiendish way in the summer of 1882 at Bt, Louis, a hole being cut in one of hig legs and the poison inserted.The consequenca was that the horse raced no more that season, but he recovered and was a good 3-year-old and a famous 4-year- old.Clipsetta, a great 2-year-old belonging to T.J.Megibben, the well-known Kentucky distiller, was treated about the Same as Freeland at Chicago, on the night before the Ladies\u2019 Stakes was to be run for in 1882.Some devil in haman form got into the stable during the night, it is thought.The filly died in terrible agony on the day the Ladies\u2019 Btakes were fo be contested for, and in which Clipsetta was a pronounced favorite.Miss Woodford, naw one of the queens of Rancho del Paso harem, won the event easily, this being her first start in publie.Clipsetta had up to the time of her poisoning been in the habit of beating all the fillies she tackled, and thus a youngster that could not have been purchased for $10,000 was sent to an untimely grave: The miscreant was never caught.Awaiting the Board\u2019s Action.Jockey Garrison is in a queer position just now.Marcus Daly, the copper king and millionaire tarfman, has offered him a handsome retainer to ride for him during the seasons of 1892 and 1893.At present Garrison can do nothing, and must awaitthe action of the Board of Control.If they remove his suspension he will be at liberty to sign, but should they refuse to open his case, of course be will have to stay on the ground.Mr.Daly had better interview John A.Morris if he desires Garrison\u2019s services, Mr.Morris is the only member of the Board averse to reinstating the jockey, and should he be able to induce Mr.Morris to forego his personal spite all will be well.Ithink, however, that Mr.Morris is ready to forget the past and that Gar- ricon will be let up.TROTTING, Ottawa Ice Trotting, OrTawa, Dec.9.\u2014The Ottawa Trotting Club have chosen their dates tor their big meeting from Feb.13 to 19.Gil- mour\u2019s Bay is almost definitely decidsd on for the track and the meeting promises todraw a large number of the best horses.Ottawa and Montreal clubs will both >be under National Association rules.THE WHEEL, Keen Rivalry Expected Amongst Cyclists Next Season, That there will be keen rivalry for next year\u2019s Canadian championship honora is already evident.The several pneumatic flyers who made their debut on the track during the present year all douttless will be lively contestants for premiership io 1892.\u2019Tis also equally certain that all the important races next season will be ridden on pneumatic safety machines.Amongst the bevy of talent who will repeatedly call for the applause of the \u2019cycle-loving public at all our important race meets will be conspicionsly Carmen, of Woodstock, aud Palmer, of Hamilton.The movements of these flyers, both credited with private performances in the neighborhood of 230, will be noted with considerable interest.The former at present holds the safety, and the latter the ordinary championship of Canads.Also great things are expected of Marshall Wells, who made such a splendid showing in the ten-mile inter-club track race; of Will Hyslop, the hero of numerous spirlted finishes; of E.J.P.Smith, who performed much clever and conscientious work on both road and track during the past season; of J, H.Nash, who made the marvellous record in the great relay race; of Skerritt, Coote, and Powis, of Hamilton; of McClelland, Miln, Nasmith, Lennox, Palin, and other well known racing men of Toronto.Then there are the new ones\u2014swift pedallers who are not at present keeping dark, but who are confidently expected by their friends t; furnish some sensational records within the coming year.Fred Dickson and Joe Irving, the \"brilliant young lacrossists and sprinters, are contemplating raciog on pneumatics next season.Both should make remarkably fast men, But Toron- toand Hamilton must not expect to have everything \u2018their own way in racing matters next year.The Mail's relay race has awakesed an interest in \u2019cycling and cycle racing throughout eastern Ontario that may bs expected to bear fruit 80 soon as the pring season opens.With the advent of a new track at Kingston, and with the further enhancement to acting in the probability of the next C.W.A.meet being held there, we confidently may expect to see a& bright and interesting young crop of flyers emanating from the Limestone City about July 1 next.There is certainly good material to choose from, of which E.O.Sliter and McMahon are not the least important part.At Belleville there are the two Roys and Notwell, all of whom did good work in the relay event.They would make a strong trio on the track.Carl Kent, of Bowmanville, who algo assisted creditaly in the relay, is another likely man.Down at Ottawa several \u201cpneus;\u201d bave been ordered and good results should follow.Intormation comes from Montreal that a perfect galaxy of scorchers will in all probability represent the eastern province, In western Ontario, London, Woodstock, and Sarnia, under the stimulus of new race tracks, may be depended upon to furnish some favorable candidates for future championship honors.Bo itis not unlikely that in 1892 we will have à large and creditable field of \u2018cycle racers.With the probability cfrace meets at Woodstock, Hamilton, Toronto, London, Sarnia, Ottawa, Kingston, and Montreal these debutants will have ample opportunity to test their wings, and Canadian.racing matters will be of a more lively character thas formerly.This is as it should be.\u2014Maii, ete Safety Records Allowed.NEw York, Dec.9.\u2014The various new bicycle records created during the past season have been under consideration by the Racing Board of the League of American Wheelmen since the close of the racing season.The new quarter, balf, and one and two-mile safety re- colds have been accepted by the Racing Board.Chairman Atwater announces tbat the quarter-mile record of 33 seconde, made by Witliam C.Thorne, of Chicago, at Rockford, Ill.; the half-mile record of 1 minute 6 seconds, made by Henry C.Tyler at Springfield ; the one- mile record of 2 minutes 15 seconds, made by W.W.Windle at Springfield, and the two-mile record of 4 minutes 48 4-5 seconds, made by George F.Taylor at Springfield, have been all accepted as official.They are all safety records.The Springfield records were all made against time.Itis thought that next season will see these records again broken.eet.A Mile a Minute, A Connecticut man now comes out with a new bicycle which he is confident will prove practical and a great success.In general appearance, says the Philadelphia Press, the machine is similar to those of tha same class already familiar in theory.The idea is simplicity itseif, being a regular safety machine, half ine side a big wheel.The larger outer wheel is nine feet in diameter, and the inner circumference connected by spokes tcgether is eight feet In diameter.The driving wheel ig three feet in diameter and vides the biz ome a little beyond the centre or point of contact with the earth, so that it is constantly climbing on the big wheel.The plan 1s that of a man walking inside ot a big hoop, his weight when thrown forward revolving the whole.This friction revolves the big wheel at every evolution of the small one, and gives the Increased speed and power, One wheel surface 18 concave and the other convex, with one surface of rubber.The operator rides a saddle Inside the big wheel over and somewhat near the driving wheel.The great speed can be easily figured.The big wheel has 27 feet circumference, and the driving weel nine feet, so that by every turn of the small front wheel the machine is propelled 27 feet.By applying the gear action, a8 in the common safety, the speed ig greatly multiplied.A mile could easily be made in two minutes on & good road, and the speed of a mile a minute if the operator wished to ride so fast.-\u2014 BASEBALL.James O'Rourke Stgas a Three Years\u2019 Contract With New York, New York, Dec.9.\u2014The \u201clegal lumi.vary,\u201d James H.O'Rourke, of Bridgeport, Conn., paid John B.Day a visit yesterday and signed a three years\u2019 contract to play ball with the New York club.\u201cJim\u201d says he is willing to play in the outfield or take his turn behind the bat.He received offers from the Athletics, Louisville and Chicago, but preferred the National League to the Association.He isa warm advocate of peaceand a twelve club league, and thinks the latter the only salvation of baseball.O'Rourke will receive in the neighborhood of $2800 for his services, \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 AQUATICS, An Inter-lake Yacht Racing Association a Probability, The Toronto Mail says: An inter-lake yacht racing association is one of the probabilities of the near future.The happy suggestion made by Commodore Hower, of tlie Buffalo Yacht Club, published in The Mail a week ago, to the effect that the proposed Lake Erie Yacht Racing Association should work hand in band with tbe association which for yeara has yielded such splendid results on Lake Ontario, has excited no little interes] ig lceal yachting circles.It was suggested by Commodore Hower that in order to Loom the Lake Erie Association and to give it every possible encouragement, it would be a graceful move on the part of the Lake Ontario yachtsmen to give up their own circuit for one year and attend the regattas of the sister association.The following year the Lake Erie fleet could, of course, repay the visit.Alter.Dating this way year after year, thers would be lake fleets moving from port to port which might soon rivalnumerically those which cruiee on the Atlantic ses- board.Commodore Boswell, of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club, was seen yesier- day in regard to the subject.He thouzht the idea an excellent one, and personal ly was very favorable to it.The Lake Ontario circuit, he said, was always a plessureable one, and always productive of good results.Still,the same round of Forts season after season might become just a little monotonous to many of the yacLtsmen who compete annually, and an occasional excursion into Lake Erie would Le a pleasant diversion.Then the increased attendance of racing yachts on the circuit would make competition the keener, and thus would benefit the aport, The greatest difficulty of such inter-lake meetir gs perhaps would be the trouble of getting the Ontario Corinthians into Lake Erie, but Mr.Boswell thought that if tbe yachtsmen would all take their craft throgh the canals together this usually annoyingly slow process of travel could be made a source of no little fun and epjoyment, The moat successful of the J act eailors, he explained, were strictl y \u2014\u2014 \u2014 -\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 - = amateurs, who could not afford to remain away from business to attend race mest.ings on both lakes in one season, Alter- nete lake circuits, however, could quite easily be attended by almost all yachtsmen, and if the proposed Lake Erie Association would offer suitable trophies for competition, the commodore saw no reason wby the inter-lake scheme should not be quite early consummated.Ij could not be otherwise than a happy and enjoyable arrangement.; t is to be regretted that this suggestion had not been offered before the annual meeting of the L.Y.R.A.at Oswago on the 14th ult.The subject then would certainly have come up for discussion, and it is probable that some dafinite step would have been taken by the Ontario Association, They Want Gore in It, SAN Francisco, Dec.9.\u2014Apropros of an unauthorized statement that O'Con- nor, Hanlan, Teemer and Hosmer would like to row their proposed double-scuil race at San Francisco, if the prospects were favorable for a good gate, The Cal says: \u201cItis utter foolishness for any lover of aquatic sport to suppose that boat rowing will ever become a popular amusement in this city.\u201d No, San Franciscans prefer theirs with gore in it, as in prize fighting, ps THE KING.Slavin Will Come Over to Arrange a Fight With John L, Loxpox, Dee, 9.\u2014Frank Slavin had a farewell dinner given him to-night.He gays he intends to remain in America for four months and will try to bring off a fight with John L.Sullivan.Slavin told me he is willing to meet Sullivan in any city, bar New Orleans, but he will go to Texas or Mexico.Charlie Mitchell says he is determined to make Jim Corbett tight, So it Jooks as though San Francisco would be the meeting place.Burns aud Fitzpatrick, co Bob Burns, of Providence, and Jack Fiizpatrick will meet in a ten round contest in this city on Tuesday evening, Dec.22.Burns knocked Fitz outin Boston last summer, although the Canadian was the favorite, but the latter hag no Intention of al'owing the dose to be repeated.Ought to be Glad When It\u2019s Over, New York, Dec.9.\u2014Peter Maher will probably be glad when the night of Dac, 17 is passed.On that night he will meet either \u201cJoe\u201d Lannon or George Godfrey in Madison Square Garden in a four- round contest \u201cfor points.\u201d The points will probably be plentiful, and the chances are that Mr.Lannon will assist r.Maher in making them.\u201cBilly\u201d Madden is especiglly anxious to coax him to meet the Irish champion.Lan.non is a hurricane fighter, and if Maher beats him he will have.to show great speed as well as hard hitting ability, \u201cJoe\u201d was anxious to come down and box before the New York Athletic Club last week on a chanca ot making $100 and expenses if he won, and only $25 and expenses it he lost.Madden offers him $125 to meet Maher, and $500 in case he gets the decision over the

Music Hall on Satirday.An immense crowd had gathered at the barriers, and, becoming unraly, they broke down the doors and poured into the establishment, Mrs.Poole\u2019s ready tact, however, stood ber in good stead, and instead of trying to stop the rush at the portal, she collected the admission tariff as soon as the advance guard had taken 1ts seat.1he crowd had come to see Louis Cyr, snd wss a most orderly one, so that there was no trouble withit.The Cana- Gian was in good form and introduced # new feat\u2014the elevation of the 170.lb.cumb-bell with the left hand.The platform lift was a

Dec.9.\u2014Despite Manager Wright's reticence concerning the settlement between Yale and the Manha tan Athletic Clab and his intimation that matters will probably be amicably adjusted when the accounts are looked over and audited, the impression prevails that there js much dissatisfaction over the matter.Most of the Yale men say that the plan of giving out the management of the game te outside parties is an un- wige one, and that there is no doubt that there has been gross carelessness, if not absolute dishonesty, somewhere.It is said that one of the management of the Manhattan Athletic Club, Mr, Hughes, told a Yale man at 1:30 p-m.on the day of the Yale-Princeton game that over 37,000 paying spectators had passed through at that time, and after that time there Was a surging tide of humanity constantly passing in, and there is no doubt that there were considerably over 40,000 paid admissions on that day.The story that tickets were used twice or moredcesn\u2019t go down with the Yale boye.To an intimation that Yale wants the earth ore of them said yesterday :\u2014 \u201cAll that Yale wants and what she means to have if she can ges it is the exact amount to which sha is entitled, Lo more, no less.We don't mean to be defrauded out of one ticket price, nor yet out of 1600, nor more, if we can help it\u201d 1t was admitted by members of tae Manhattan Ciub just before the game tbat the receipts would reach at least $50,000, It is believed that 40,000 spac- tators isalow estimate of the crowd present.Then there must be added to these figures the eale of one large grand stand at $2 a seat, and to this the larga bonuees paid for the choice of these same seats.Then there was two other graud stands, which sold at $150 a seat, and the rest of tbe open stsnds sold at $1a seat, besides at least $1000 or $1500 for the coach positions, and at least $1000 more for the tickets for the occupants of the same, and it will be seen that the entire receipts must have been very arge.And it is alleged by the Yale men that there is no need of its taking nearly a fortnight to settle up a matter which ought to be done by men of ordinary NEw York, Dec.9.\u2014\u201cTommy\u201d Couneff, the famous distance runner of ihe Man- | hattan Athletic Club, yesterday announced his intention of retirmg from the ranks of amateur athletics to become à professional.He will sail for Earope on the Umbria on Saturday.When asked his reasons for turning protes- | sional Conneff said : | \u201cI have no particular reason, excapt \u2018 that my uncle, who first brought me out ; 88 a runner, desires ms to see what I can do as a professional.I have just ro- ceived a letter from him in which he | says he will back me to run either J.Kibblewaite, W, H, Morton or E.W.| Parry, the great English amateur run- | ner, for any amount frora $1000 upwards.In the event of à match being arranged | the distances will probably be two, four 2?| and ten miles.Conneff also said he did not intend to do any running for the present.He will £0 to bis home in Ireland for a vacation of acouple of months and if he can ar- capacity and bonesty in three hours.But the end is not yet.There is no doubt but that if Yale does not get at least very nearly what she is entitled to some of the young lawyers who have graduated at Yale within the past decade will have a firger in the settlemen*, aud that before long, too.Trafford Elected Captain.CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec.9\u2014The H.r- vard \u2019Varsity Football team held its annual weeting this evening in

fined to a particular ; locality or peculiar to a particular kind of people.The woman who can\u2019t afford the French im ortation of gilded carving and tapestry takes a Lit of China silk in a bamboo frame, sets the tot- tlish things np in a dismal corner, and is convinced that she has not lived in vain, The mission of the screen is manifold, and well is its labor of love falfilled.Dark corners are brightened, lovers\u2019 nooks protected, undesirable corners and passages concealed, and dreary wall spaces made glorious by the ubliguitous screen in some of its myriad expressions.Louis XIV., XV, XVI., and Marie Antoinette styles dominate the inode in the more expensive varieties.The general characteristics of these screens are that they have frames of carved wood overlaid with gilt, and have panels of striped silk, tapestry, or rare painting or embroidery.Their distinguishing differences are n.erely points of detail scarcely apparent to the uneducated eye.There is a marked increase in the voluptuousness, sensuousness of the curves and lines from the Louis XIV.period up to that of Louis XVI.and his iil-fated Queen, Marie Antoinette.In the screens of the earlier period the outlines are simpler, approaching more nearly the integrity of the straight line, and more dignified in decoration.The panels are covered entirely with silk fitted smoothly into the frames.The lines bend more wantonly into curves as the next period approaches.Fanciful and ornate embellishments of carving are introduced, cupids aud faces of goddesses ag well as leaf forms appear in the decoration.MORNING HOUSE TALK.«Ringers\u201d for Young Wives And Girls Soor to Wed.A novel fire screen on four feet, says the New York Times, has a long narrow shelf at the top for ornaments, and another near the bottom.The upper one is supported with a Moorish arch ; beneath this and attached to the legs are two little brackets, the one high up and the other low down.On a rod at the back is run a full curtain of silk.The screen is decorated in the style known as imitation marquetrie, of which specimens grow constantly handsome.\u201cCrushed morocco\u201d is a new favorite in the leather field.It is considerably more decorative than crocodile leather, being smooth and very pliable.It comes in beautiful shades \u2014 electric blue, water- green and heliotrope, and, fashioned into blotting books, pocketbooks, card cases and other small leather impedimenta is very effective.It is perhaps not generally known that we get our custom of wearing orange blossoms from the Saracens, and that the Red Cross Knights always saw their brides thus adorned on the marriage day.Sachets are keeping pace with cushions and pillows in size and variety.Bed sachets to hold night-dresses are covered with sheer muslin and trimmed with lace, put on very full, often in jabot effect.The narrow ribbons are much used in trimming these pockets, combined with the Jace.The Newest Fabrics.; Everything Russian is fashionable.Children wear Russian cloaks plaited like the muzhik\u2019s blouses, and the same idea is carried into evening wraps, the newest of which are of satin, with a wadded or fur lining.New silks include many with raised stripes on a satin or repped ground, the stripes resembling cords sewn on the ground.© Among the new winter stuffs is a cloth which imitates Jersey webbing, and which will be very fashionable, Contrasts in cloth gowns are frequent, For example, there are black cloth gowns trimmed with bias slashes lined with red collar, vest, cuffs and edges being likewise of red.Blue cloth forms the main part of another gown, with all the accessories of gray cloth or tan-color, and gray cloth is similarly combined with blue or heliotrope, Poplin is announced as the coming fabric glace, that is, changeable in two colors, as reen with orange, black with red.This abric, which is only shown as yet in the shape of merchants\u2019 samples, is to be trimmed with silk of the two colors woven in it, one on the outside and the other for facings.Paris letter in Harper's Bazar.Don\u2019ts for Husbands, Don°t stay out late at night.Don\u2019t withhold your eontidence.Don\u2019t think your wife is a servant.Don\u2019t dole out a dollar as if it were a tax.Don\u2019t think love has come to stay anyhow.Don\u2019t try to run the household your ay.Dont think your wife can\u2019t keep your secrets.Don\u2019t imagine that you are a superior rson.Don\u2019t grumble at your wife and the work she does.Don\u2019t forget that your wife was once your sweetheart.Don\u2019t neglect to compliment your wife whenever opportunity offers.Don\u2019t forget that husbands should be gentlemen at all times and undcr all circumstances.Mrs.Langtry, Any one who wishes to see what perfect physical development means in a woman should see Mrs.Langtry at Her Majesty\u2019s this week as Rosalind sporting through the glades of Arden\u2014light, agile, graceful in every movement, bearing berself with consummate grace and beauty.The great actress is a firin believer in\u201d physical exercises, and is herself a splendid fencer.Mrs.Langtry Las favored me with her opinion regarding the value of physical exercises for wonten, and I give a few sentences from her letter received this marning: \u201cI certainly believe,\u201d she says, \u2018\u2018in physical exercise for women.I am more especially able to speak in favor of fencing, as I found it of immense value to my health and figure.It gives one a good balance, and, therefore, a good carriage.\u201d I have little doubt that not only the writer's fine physical development, but her good health, vivacity and abounding spirits are greatly due to the exercises by which she trains herself with unremitting ardor.\u2014Dundee Telegraph.Women\u2019s Progress in Sweden.The number of women students at the Swedish universities is constantly increasing.Upsala University has eighteen women students, Lund thirteen, and the Carolinske has eight pursuing the study of | medicine, \u2014 ° Watches, in gold sud silver of t's hizhest grades guaranted.Correct ly observatory time, at J.B.Williamson's 7141 Notre Dame-street.\u2014 The loyal opposition all ask for and smoke good cigars.The Invincible Spots 2nd Rialto are the favorites.L.O Grothe & Co,, Montreal, \u2014_\u2014 PERSURKE\u201d MENNYERE, Jebn G.Whittier will bas 84 3 cars December 17.youn old oy } A London society journal says that {he ?gagsgement of Colonel Ralph Vivan to Marshall O.Roberts is the sensation of the hour in England.i Sir Frederick Leighton has consented to act as Chairman of the fine arte section of the Royal Commission of the Societv of Arts for the Chicago Exhibition, \u2018 Mrs.Annie Besant is expected in New York ina few days, for a short business visit, and while there will deliver a lecture on \u201cThesophy and Reincarnation,\u201d I do not care for maidens\u2019 smiles, My taste their charms forbids;

the only preliminary remaining unsettled being the arbitrators.On the tariff question Harrison 1g strongly protectionist, and evidently considers the McKinley bill a great blessing.He says it bas not been attended with any of the disastrous consequences predicted and has brought into existence some important Industries which will in the future give employment to a° large amount of labor.He looks at the question entirely from the stand-point of the protected manufacturer, and evidently does not think it worth while to bestow a thought upon the toiling millions wbo have to bear the principle portion of the burdens of taxation imposed by thatlaw.And yet, while championing the McKinley bill as a wise and states- man-like measure, he does not ventare to seriously dispute the proposition that the condition of the country would be better if tariff legislation were on a free trade basis\u2014probably meaning a tariff for revenue only.Re takes care, however, to intimate Congress that he is opposed to any radical tarifflegislation.This may be taken as a notice to Democratic tariff reformers that he may be disposed to veto à radical meagure,even it passed by a majority of both houses.We hardly think the President, however, would go that far; but he ! certainly wants to discourage tanff reform legislation.The Democrats, however, are not likely to be awed by the stand he has taken.We judge from the message that the difficulty with Italy which arose out of the Mafia massacre at New Orleans, 18 still unsettled, but in such a state that no serious complications need be apprehended.The most lengthy paragraph of the message is devoted to the Chilian complication, the language being of a somewhat determined character.This difficulty will, bowever, probably be settled by diplomacy.Taken altogether the message is an interesting and readable one.lm THE MAISSONEUVE MONUMENT.The Maissoneuve monument business wants looking after.So far as we know no oneobjects to the monument being erected; on the contrary there is a general agreement that it should be built.Many people, however, cannot ses why the city treasury should be drawn on for the money\u2014and that is the scheme which seems to be in train just now; The City Council voted $6000 towards the monument, but so far as is known not a dollar has been subscribed by the citizens who are prc- moting the erection of the monument, and yet the so-called citizens\u2019 committee want the Council to pay over the $6000 which 1t voted.The Finance Committee and Council must resolutely refuse to do anything of the kind, until the citizens committee can produce a bona fide subscription list showing that .sufficient funds are guaranteed to complete the monument.It would be a nice piece ot business to find, after the $6000 had been expended, that thers was no .money forthcoming from those expected to contribute.Tha would simply mean that the work would haye to be suspended or the City Treasury would have to be drawn on for the money to carry it to completion, If the City Council has to provide the money then the so-called citizens\u2019 committee should disband and let the matter be placed in the hands of a special committee of the Council.We are of opinion that the City Council stretched itg prerogative to the utmost limit when it voted the $6000.To come down to the fine point we do not think the Council really bad any legal authority to do 80; but having done so care must be taken that not a cent of the money is drawn from the civic treasury until the Mais- soneuve monument committee, as we have already said, can shew, by a bona fide subscription list, that the funds to complete the monument are guaranteed beyond doubt.es TARIFF REFORM ALL RIGHT.Some Canadian Tory papers profess to see in the election of Mr.Crisp, of Georgia, to the Speakership ot the House of Representatives at Washington, over Mr.Mills, of Texas, a backward tura in tLe tariff reform tide.There is no ground for such a view.Mr.Crisp may not be ready to go at once as far in the direction of tariff reform as Mr.Mills, but he is a tariff reformer nevertheless of a very pronounced type.That is clearly set forth in his answer to the enquiry of the New York World published in The Harald of yesterday.When his selection by the Democratic caucus was made unan- mous, he made a short spesch in which he made the following reference to tariff reform: \u201cI pledge myself here and now to devote whatever of indus'ry and ability I possess to the advancement of the real nterests of the Democratic party.I beg o say to you now, as I speak to you my first words since I am your selection for speaker, that my election means no step backwards in tariff reform.Ibeg tosay to yon that there is In our party to-day no man who more earnestly believes in he Democratic doctrine of tarif reform than I do.\u201d The Philadelphia Times, sn independent journal, says \u201cthere will be no halt in the work of tariff refyrm\u201d conservative than that of Mr.Milis.Lhe Times further says that during the balletting contest Mr.Mil's exhibited TBEI MCNTREAL HERALD Wh Fo - AE i LA va pics other Narcotic substance.Castoria.* Castoria is an excellent medicine for chil.âren.Mothers have repeatedly told me of its good effsct upon their children.\u201d Dr.G.C.Osaoop, Lowell, Mass, -+ Castoria is the best remedy for children of which I am acquainted.I hope the day is not far distant when mothers will consider the real interest of their children, and use Castoria instead of the various quack nostrums which are destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium, morphine, soothing gyrup and other hurtful agents down their throats, thereby sending thew to premature graves.\u201d DR, J.F.KINCHELOB, Conway, Ar SES = Es GPR o a;

with the city police force.This has been done in Chicago and several other American cities, and works well.What Aiderman Gauthier propeses 1s that the men should subscribe a fixed amount to this fund out of their wages, and that the city chartar should be so amended that & gmail p:r- centage of saloon and grocer licens3s should ba appropriated to swell the fund.He maintains that this would have the effect of making the men take an additional interest in their work and consequently tend towards improving the morals of the city in more ways than one.The question will probably be introduced in Council ere long, and will there be discussed on its merits.Montreal Dry Goods Association.The annual meeting of the Montreal Wholesale Dry Goods Association was held yesterday afiernoon, at 3

Messrs Walter Drake and J, A.U.Beaudry (secretary) tarnsd ap shortly after four o'clock and spent over an hour in a chatatoutthe historical buildings in Montreal.At the end of this time Mr: Beaudry came over and addressed the reporters, who were in a msjority in point of numbers.He complained of the apathy shown by citigers in the matter of this monument.The members of the different committees are also very lax in their duty in regard to attending meetings to take the necessary preliminary arrangements for having the funds raised for the erection of the monument.The fo lowing gentlemen are

taxes, which they should have paid.Yesterday he received by mail a letter containing a check for $50 and these words: \u201cFor city dues since over five years and prescribed.\u201d It is supposed that it is the same gentleman who sent a similar check in 1888 for $100 acd $50 in 1889.The last letter was left on the counter in the cashier\u2019s office.The butchers\u2019 license question seems to be as far off settlement as ever.Mr.Ethier, joint city attorney, stated yesterday thatthe inspectors had commencad to take out Summons against those who bad not paid.Actions will be taken daily tr four or five days and those butchers who remain obstinate and ra- fuse to pay will be arrested by the police and taken to, courts.Even the cash girl is liable with apprentices and all others, to be arrested for exposing or sell- Ing meat.The law, Mr.Ethier gays, will eitherhave to be respected or abolished.The five iz $40 a day.The butchers, it is understood, are very determined to resist the old 1niquit- ous by-law and a lively fight may be expected.The mayor has received a notification from the D.A., No.13 Knights of Labor, agking him to meet them at the City Hall on Saturday night They want the mayor to deliver an address in front of the City Hall, but he cannot see his way to this aud offers to meet them in Lis own rooms.He says that be will not be at the main entrance, but will be

the winter work of the Board of Out-Door Relief.Mr.Charles Alexander occupied the chair and there were present a number of clergymen and gentlemen ins terested in this charitable work.The chairman briefly stated the object of the meeting and refer- rad to the work accomplished by tre board in past winters.Other che rizable institutions are about to start the work among the.r particular 8-ction of the city\u2019s p or, and the meeting was called to arrange for the issuing of an appeal for the branch of their work am ng tbe p or.The work was carried on durivg the entire summer, when 695 cases were relieved and besides 27 cords of wo:d given away.Rev.James Patterson, city missionary, said the work of the out-door relief was & great help to him and others in their work among the poo-, but in many cases they required to have a deep and well- filed purse to work with before they could deal with the spiritual needs of the people with any degree of success.Rev.T.E.Cunningham, rector of

by Smith & Patterson trom the Keystone Patch-Uase Com- pañy and sent to their agent here, the goods baving keen previously allowed to enter by Mr.Ambrosse, appraiser, at the price for which they Lad been purchased.The seizure was made on the grodud of undervaluation through misrepresentations, and Smith & Patterson were agked to pay $3786, difference between the duty as paid and the one that should bave been paid.This they refused to do, and took out their present action.In rendering judgment the Court related the circumstances of the case, and mentioned the agreement by which the line of watch cases referred to could not be sold in the United States for home consumption under the regular list price for a period ot one year.The point to decide was, what was the value, ag regards duty, of the goods in question.It was held tor the Crown that the regular list price disclosed the true value for duty.There was no doubt that such was the case untii a new style of the same quality of goods had been introduced and rendered the others unsaleable.From that moment there was no home consumption for the old style of watch cases, and it was then impossible to say that they bad a market value.There was the weak point in the case for the Crown.\u201c Ifthe watch cases could have been offered for sale as job lots, in the United States, for home consumption, the price paid for them by Smith and Patterson, for export, appeared to be the fair market value they would have had, and this seemed to the Court to be a fair test to apply for their value in appraising them hers, and there was, consequently, no undervaluation.\u201cNow, in communicating with their agent bere, Smith & Patterson had not informed him that the watch cases had been purchased on condition that they were to be exported and coald not ba purchased for the same price for the nited States trade.\u201d Speaking on the limited information given him, Mr.Abbott, the agent, had, in gocd faith, told Mr.Ambrosse, the appraiser, that the watch cases could have been bought for the same price for consumption in the United States, but this unintentional misrepresentation could not bave the effect of a wilfully false statement.\u201c However, this statement of Mr.Abbott constituted a probabie cause of seizure, and if Smith & Patterson had disclosed the whole truth to him an opportunity might have been offered the Mia- ister of Customs to determine the value of the watch cases for duty, and they had now po great reason to complain that their agent\u2019s misrepresentation waa followed by a selzure.Under the

BISHOP'S TO THE FRONT \u2014_\u2014\u2014 CELEBRATION OF THE COLLEGE'S 1WENTY-FIRST ANNIVERSARY, Professors, Graduates and Undergraduates Unite in Doing Honor to Their Alma Mater, The time once more came round for the professors, graduates, and unJer- graduates of Bishop\u2019s Medical School to bold their annual dinner, and the event came off last night with a swing.It was a success in every respect, and the gathering which assembled at whe St.Lawrence Hall to do honor to their Alma Mater enjoyed themselves thoroughly, and at the same time evinced lots of enthusiasm for their college.Asis always the case, the management of the 8; Lawrence Hall centributed their quota to the success of the dinner, and although there may have been larger gatherings on similar occasions thers certainly was never a happier or more enthusiastic Bish: p's d nuer.Letters of regret at their unavoidable abserce were read from Dr.Adams, principal of Bisbop\u2019s College, Lennox- ville; Dr.W.B.Chandler, Boston; Dr.De Mowelpied, Hem mingford; Dr.Riopel, Velcaitier, Dr.Gill, Drummondville; Heber Bisanp, Boston.Every arravgement had been made by tbe committre in charge, so thatthe gueste could not but be pleased with their reception.On the right of the chairman, Dr.F.W.Campbell, dean of the faculty, were Dean Craik, of McGill medical faculty; Ald.Clendinneng, representing the City Council; Prof.Donald, Dr.McConnell, Dr.Springle, Dr.Tatley, Dr.Tetreault, Orange, N.J.; Dr.J.Leslie Fo.ey, Dean Hingston, of Victoria Medical School; Dr.Mitchell, of Bedford; Dr.W.K.Bell, Ottawa; Dr.Perrigo, Dr.Proudfoot, Dr, Reddy, Ur.Bruere, Dr.Rollo Campball, Dr.Jas.Stewart, Dr.England, Dr.J, M.Mackay, Dr.Guerin, Victoria Medical School; Dr.Geo.FT.Ross and other professional gentlemen.At the conclusion of the discussion of the menu and the drinking of the usual loyal toasts, Mr, Arthur Richer proposed tLe toast of Alma Mater, which, according to the program quotation, *\u2019Tis bound by a tbousand ties to my heart.\u201d He referred in a jocular manner to those who might be loth to leave the arms of their foster mother, even though the time bad arrived when they might expect to do so.Other such remarks of interest to student life abounded in his speech and the toast was drank most heartily.Dr.campbell responded by reading a letter from Principai Adams, Lennox- ville, who would have responded in person could he have been present.He congratulated them on the fact that the graduating class is larger than it ever was, and stated that he hoped the faculty would never have to regret the stand taken in regard to the admission of women.He also referred to the pro- grees being made in the re-construction of the college buildings at Lennoxville, which are now nearly completed, since their destruction by fire.\u201cA fellow feeling makes one wondrous kind,\u201d and in that strain were the responses to the toast of Sister Universities made, Mr.Frank J.Hackett proposed the toast and Dr.Craik responded for McGill University.He felt somewhat surprised to find that Bishops had attained its twenty-first anniversary,and hoped that since it has attained its manhood it has entered on a greater career of usefulness.He referred to the grandness of the medical calling and stated that McGill entertained no jealousy towards its younger sister, and would all ucite in wiehing 1t God-speed.Dr.Hingston, Dean of Victoria Medical School, was evidently a great favoiite with Bishop\u2019s boys, judging by the reception he received.He wondered why the term sister universities was used.The only conclusion he could coma to was because sisters were gentler towards one another, had more sympathy with each other, that such a term had bacome to be used.His feelings towards Bishops were of a kindly ra'ure, because as he stated he was concerned in the formation of the faculty.Jealousy had no part 1n his nature, and as regards entertaining any towards a fellow university he never had any, and he was too old tolearn bad habite.Reciprocity between the provinces in connection with the medical profession cannot be too strongly urged, and it was gratifyrog that only one province has so far withbeld that reciprocity, namely, Ontario.Toronto University Medical College was represented by Mr.Bruce.He spoke of the facilities at their ais- osal in Toronto, but felt that ontreal will have a decided advantage when the Royal Victoria is completed.Bishop's, be said, had the advantage in the matter of the intermingling of the sexes in medical work.In Toronto they bave a separate school.He spoke of what he considered some of the tyrau- nical exactions of the Ontario Medical Board.Mr.E.B.Blaine, of Trinity University medical faculty, represented his college in an able manner, and referring to the Ontario Medical Board said it was about time the students grasped the handle and made them feel the tickling end of the sword.Mr.Sullivan, of Queen\u2019s Medical Faculty, Kingston, spoke on behalf of that institution, McGill was represented by Mr.Phe- lan.Laval Medical Faculty was represeated by Mr.Honore Lapointe, and that of Law by Mr.Alfred Mackey.; The toast oi the Sister Faculties was proposed by Mr.D.D, Macrae, and Mr.M.Goltman proposed the toast of the Dean and Professors.Dean Campbell replied and said they bad on their registration book the largest number of students ever numbered in the faculty.He indulged in some interesting reminiscences regarding the Bishop\u2019s Medical Faculty, and regarding the admission cf women, said the school bad no desire to take back water in the matter of fexraie education.He callad on the students to have.faith in their Alma Mater and the college will continue to succeed.Several professors who were present responded briefly to the toast.Other toasts on the list were: Graduates, propoged by Mr.Geo, Fisk; Hospitals, proposed by Mr.Wm.Burnett and responded toby Dr.Guerin; Class '92, proposed by Mr.T, B.Smiley: Freshmen, proposed by Mr.C, E.Nichol and responded to by Mr.C.C, Brymer; Ladies, proposed by Mr.Warren and responded to by Mr.T.B.Smiley, and The Press, proposed by Mr.Burnett, Songs were ret dered by Dr, Proudfoot and Mr.Go.tman, and a recitation by Dr.Dixon.Tbe piano used was kindly loaned by C.W.Lindsay.The gentlemen who 80 successfully managed the dinner were: Chairman\u2014F.W.Campbell,

Match.Like the preceding plays presented at the Academy ot Music, by Augustns Pi- tou\u2019sStock Company, À Modern Match is a society drama of the yery tirst rank.The scene is laid in the city of New York, in the drawing room of Robert Hunt, «+ member of a trusted firm of bankers.The first act lays bare the domes ic lives of the two members of the firm, which are in marked contrast to esch other.Hunt is cursed with a hearless, 1mmoral woman of the world, whos; whole ambition is to shine in society.The senior partner is blessed with a pure, noble type of sympathetic womanuood, who stands by her busbaud and comforts him in his troubles.The firm becomes embarrassed, ruin stares them in the face, and the senior member, unable to bear the load of oppression, commits suicide in an adjoining room, just as Violet Hunt embraces her lover, Gerald Rankin.The husband arriving strikes the villain to earth and is only restrained from murderirg him by the thought of his dead partner in the next room.The wife is driven from his home and in company with her lover, whois in the.end ruined by her, travels abroad and after an absence of 12 years ra- turns repentant, and for wealth.She is uhsuccessful in this, and is again told to leave the honse.Her long absence and documentary evidence furnished by Gerald Rankin legally sets the husband free, and he marries his former partuer\u2019s wife.Such is the story of the play briefly told.Seldom if ever has there been seen in this city a better society drama, and all those who enjoy a reficed play should not miss an excellent opportunity when it will be again presented for the last time on Saturday evening next.Miss Minnie Seligman, as the cruel, heartless wife, scored a triumph.Miss Jape Stuart, in the role of Sue Thompson, was successful, She is a painstaking little actress.Adelaide Stanhope, Helen Bancroft and Vida Croly are all worthy of special praise.The male members of the company are all actors of rare ability.Nelson Wheatcroft and W.H.Thompson snared the honors of the evening.Geo.Backus,as the loyer,showed that in a higher role he would be as great a success as he appeared in the last acti as the dying and repentant lover of the banker's wife.\u201cDear Irish Boy\u201d at the Royal Next Week.This is what à leading American journal says: \u201cThe Dear Irish Boy,\u201dwritten by Dan McCarthy, has attracted already much favorable comment.The play was constructed not only with due regard to versatility of the leading performers, but also with a view of keeping witain the range of probabilities, and making an interesting and pleasing entertainment.There are the customary villainous incidents, a stolen letter, a secret marriage, a murder, a vision, a wrongtul accusation, and finally the arrest and death of the actual villain.Gus Reynolds, whe has shown himself to be a uniformly clever preformer, is sean to the best advantage as Mike McClutchey.The company that assists is also said to contribute materially to the success of the performance, The Queen's Next Week, On Monday evening next that premiere comedienne, Miss Nellie Mc- Henry, will make her appearance in à new play at the Queen\u2019s Theatre.This queen of comedy needs no introduction to the theatre-goers of Montreal, This year she comes with a new play and the most successful comedy ot years past.It is entitled \u201cA Night at the Circus.\u201d It comes from the trenchant pen of Grattan Donnelly, who is one of the most successful writers of musical farces in America.The play abounds with fun and humor, the most original wif, musical noveltes and gems in song.Bevies of young and pretty girls grace the scenes with their presence.\u201cA Nightat the Circus\u201d is a comedy with a plot and a very interesting ope.It appeals to the refined class of audience particularly, it is go bright, so refined and so very musical.The supporting company is exceptionally strong, and is made up of the cleverest comedians In America.Miss McHenry\u2019s leading support comes from her husband, the genial, warm- bearted and inimitable John Webster, who, to use an expression ot other days, was bred, born, and raised in Montreal.\u201cA Night at the Circus\u201d is a screaming farce, full of snap and go and of the.most unique character.It is truly a rare treat to see dainty Nellie in such a novel production and in the role of a \u201cCircus Queen.\u201d e\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014__ ASSAULT AND ROBBERY.Two Negroes Assan} #.Ruttenburg and Pillage His Store, Aj six o\u2019clock last night two

Over Canada.a Ottawa Evening Journal], Ind, Con.The action taken by Bishop Machray of Manitoba with a view to securing Anglican Separate schools places the whole Separate school question in à more interesting light than ever.We suppose the Anglicans have as good ground for their action as had the Roman Catholics.If, as the Catholics have cone tended in the courts successfully so far the constitutional guarantees under which Manitoba entered confederation entitle them to Separate schools now and for all time simply because they had practically separate schools then, the Anglicans are probably equally with them entit'ed to separate schools.Bishop Machray seems to prove thatthe Ap.giicans had perfectly distinct denominge 1oral schools prior to the union.Upoa a similer contention, tbe Catholics are upported by the Supreme Court in à laim for Separate schools.Now mu-t not the Anglicans be equally supported?And must vot all other denominations be «qually sustained in such claims?Tnere were no public or common schools in Manitoba prior to confederation.The province bad barely begun to need echools at ull.There were only a few thousand white people in the province, Yet the makeshift denominationa) schools which were maintained with difficulty among the few thousand pioneer reople who bad at that time dribbled into à væst prairie wi.Jerness, are apparently to furnish limits to all time within which the educatioaal sys tem of Manitoba\u2014and possibly of all the Northwest; that now seems likely-\u2014must develop.This probability invifes once more a glance at the principles w hich, we believe, must underlie a successful or even a just Public school system, We hold that religious teaching hag no place in à Public school system.It is as well to be frank and plain on this point.We hold that those who contend for it in any shape or form, save the modified one of inenlcating a reverence for one supreme God, make a mistake which is hurtful not only to the community but to religion itself.Hurtful to the community as we will attempt to show because they strengthen the hands of all who support the Separate school idea; hurtful to religion both because by implication that the church and the home can not give religion a sufficient hold, and because they arrogate the uns just privilege that the majority shall dice tate to the minority where and how religious teaching shall be enforced, and, what shall be taught.Catholics may be consistent in this clain, for their church asserts, and they believe in, a divinely inepired and infallible guide on earth; but the Protestants whose basis of faith is freedom to worship God, and to decide for himeelf wbat and who God is\u2014how can be consistently demaud that even one single poor dissident amoug thons- ands of the people shall be forced to either subject his children to wnat he considers wrong religious teaching, or forego tLe blessing of a good education for them, All will concede that the best edaca- tional system will be maintained by tne united action of the community.If there is but one school system with one general tax to support it, and one general plan of government and development, results can be attained which far surpass anything possible te disjointed efforts.Such econumy is possible and the wealthy and well-to-do sre so laid under contribution as to offer to tre children of the poorest a good education at 80 slight cost that the parents do nos feel it\u2014perbaps do not bear any of tue cost at all.The community not only puts within economical and convenient reach of all the advantages of education, but is able justly to require that all parents shall give their children schoolinz Contrast with this the ultimats effect of the principle of separate denowmin- ational schoois.Let Catholics, Anglicans, Presbyterians, Methndiats, Baptists, Congregationalists, Quakers, in- fide!s, have each their own£chools,whera must we land?It becomes impossible to economically collect and apportion & £chool tax ; it becomes impossible to opèrate schools cheaply; it becomes im\u2014 rossible to ensure that \u2018he taxes of the rich shall pay for the schcoling of the poor ; the standard of the teachers and teaching can not be as high, because both must be less fairly psid ; it becomes- next to impossible for the State to enforce attendance at school ; the children of tbe community divide into separate camps and are jliable tc get ideas which will keep them narrow.minded through life.And all this because of a fow difs ferences in Christian doctrine, though all of us worship God and His Son, and because some worthy and honest Christians are better prepared to run the risk of their children getting a second-class education, and Letter prepared to risk injustice to their neighbors, than they are prepared to trust their own religion to teach Christianity to their own children at home.We say, give us a great public school system with such religious teaching, if possible, as is fair to the whole community, but without religious teaching if the system cannot be bad otherwise, If necessary, trust the church and the home to inculcate Christian reverence and love.We hold that a Christian home cannot turn out boys and ,irls that will go permanently wrong, and we do not believe that any amount of Jip teaching in schools will preserve to the Christian faith one single child whose homs life is not softened and enriched by the love ard charity which true religion must diffuse.We do admit\u2014and this we fear 18 the kernel of the opposition to common: public echools\u2014that denominational schools will strengthen and concente rate denominational narrow-mindedness We do admit that Angliean schools, and Presbyterian schools, and Catholic schools will make more bigoted Angli cans, and Presbyterians and Catholics.But we think that that religion is indeed doubtful of ite own merit and truth which demands that the child's mind shall be seized as young as possible and \u2018wisted in 1ts own direction, not only by the love of home and the lessons of the priest, but by the grip of the schoolmasd ter.We prefer to believe that a\u201d first class public echool system, evea without reigious teaching, will give such far better educational rssulss than denominational schools, and will eventually so broaden and harmonize the public wind, that the religion of the people, without losing in any degree its intensity, will gradnally be toned and softened by charity and neighborliness fo a degrca that must be beneficial to all and sure y ought to do more to preserve respect for Coristianity than the most careful calti< vation of denominational fanacticism.THE COMING QUESTION, "]
