a8 Live Subject of Talk Just Now, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.W AsHINGroN, Dec.14.\u2014The composition of the committees is naturally the uppermost topic of interest on the House side of the Capitol.Itis not at all likely that the committees will be announced bef.re the bolicays, although it is understood that the Speaker will make every effort to bring about this result.Speaker Reed, it will be remembered, managed to complete his list before the House last session adjourned over Christmas, but his task was a light one compared to that which now confronts the Speaker.In the first place there are 234 Democrats to whom positions must be allotted, and a large majority of these are new members, wh:se fitness or adaptability for committee work has yet to be learned.The fact there are only 88 Republicans to place, will reguit in a radical change in the number of the minority on the committees.The prediction that there will be a general reorganization of the committees can be meade with certainty.Old alignments will be broken down, and the usual successions will, to a large extent, be disregarded.It is certain that in the new arrangement of the committees the North and West will receive more recognition than they have ever heid before.Another assertion to be made with almost equal positiveness is that the chairmanship of the Appropriation Committee will go to Representative Holman, of Indiana.In the language of a prominent Democrat yesterday, there is to be a sweeping, grinding, merciless reduction of the appropriations.Mr.Holman is to be the man entrusied with this important duty.He was one of the first Democrats to inveigh against a bil- lion-dollar Congress, and his record for economy cannot be impeached.He has had considerable experience with the Appropriation Committee, succeeding Representative Randall as its chairman at the beginning of the last session of the 44th Congress, and he was a member of it during the 48th and 49th Congresses.The record of the first day\u2019s work in the Senate breaks the record.There were 612 bills tntroduced and ten joint resolutions.On the corresponding day last year there were 505 bills introduced and nine joint resolutions.A large number of yesterday's bills, however, were reproductions.The first bill introduced was by Bepator Paddock, and it was the pure food bill, in which the Senator is 80 greatly interested.Senator Mander- son also came to the front with last session\u2019s bill to reorganizs the infantry branch of the Army.A new proposition wag contained in a petition presented by \u2018Senator Mitchell from a large number of the citizens of Oregon praying Congress to take whatever action may be necss- sary to invite a conference of the Governments of the world to eit during and in connection with the World\u2019s Colum- bian Exposition, for the purpose of de- viging, discussing avd recommending measures by which the principles of arbitration may be incorporated in treatiest conflictinginternational laws harmon- iæd and an internationæl court established having jurisdiction ia cases which Governments shall fail to settle by neg.- tiations.The Speaker has a difficult task before him, but he is a man of decision and energy and may be expected to study the whole field carefully and to act promptly, having his own views as to the particular qualifications of members and the necessities of the situation, but listening to advice from responsible ad- vigers whom he may call to his assistance.The peculiar composition of the House calls for the exercise of great good judgment and tact on the part of the Speaker, and his party friends are as solicitous as the general public are curious to know how the duty of organization of the committees is to be discharged, confidence in the man not being incompatible with solicitude in the event.The country will receive with profound satisfaction the evidences of progress contained in the report of Commodore Folger, chief of the Bureau of Naval Ordnance.In no department of the public service has there been a more conspicuous and substantial advance in the right direction.That the department i3 now turning out high-power guns of better quality than has ever yet been attained by private enterprise is a fact admitted by all who arein a position to judge.The well-known Britishex- pert, Col.Hope, made public announcement to this effect nearly a year ago, after spending a considerable time in Washington and carefully observing the methode pursued and results obiained at the Washington navy yard.It is not too much to assume that our guns enjoy an equal if not a greater superiority over those of any other foreign power.The Congressional Record has the advantages of a fresh start, and, it is hoped, will be less indiscriminate in the literature it presents than it was last session, ee Drowned in & Well.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, TiLrury CENTRE, Ont, Dac.14.\u2014A little boy about six years of

BRITISH CONNEXION.In His Review of the Politioal Situation Mr, Mowat Expresses Confidence in Mr, Laurier, Sir Richard Cartwright and.Other liberal Leaders and Urges the Party to Stand Firm, ToroNTo, Dec.14.\u2014The Globe of this morning contains a 10-column letter from Hon.Oliver Mowat, Premier and Attorney-General of Ontano, addressed to Hon.Alex.Mackenzie, dealing at considerable leo}th wit.the questions of reciprocity and annexation, and embodying an exhaustive review of the political situation.He begins his letter in the following terms : My HoXoRrep AND DEAR Friexp,\u2014You and I are among the oldest Canadian Liberals still in publiclife.Throughout our time, and for long before, the principles of the Liberal party have been Brite ish connection, special interest in all that concerns tie masses of the people, justice to all classes, c:eeds and nationalities.pure and economical government, a revenue tariff, and the freest trade with our neighbors practicable and consistent with our position as a seif-governing people forming part of the British Empire.Underlying all these has always been the principle of \u201cCanada first,\u201d We perceived, aud we are glad to know or believe, that in order to be for Canada first 1t was necessary to be for British connection also.The two things were not incompatible.On the contrary, they were bound up together.As Premier of Canada you had an opportunity, which no other Cana disn Liberal has had, of sbowing the principles of the Liberal party in practice for five years under a Liberal Government and a Liberal Legislature ; and all Liberals, and very many Canadians who are not Liberals, ars proud of the record which you then made, Had the result of the elections for 1878 been different we sbould not now have our present difficuities.We should have had a pure administration of affairs for the Jast 13 years.We should pot have had any waste or misapplication of public monies.We should have greatly less debt and greatly less taxation.We should have had no war of tariffs.We should have had no Norih west outbreak of our Indians aod half- breeds, and we should have had no abnormal exodus of our people since.After voting some of the principal events of the past 12 years and the circumstances which gave rise to the agitation for reciprocity with the United States, he declares himself in favor of unrestricted reciprocity, expre:- ses confidence in Hon.Mr.Laurier, and is certain that mothisg will be done wiltully by him or by any other Liberal 1- ader to jeopardize the tie with Great Britain.Mr.Mowat says: \u201c1 presume tbat ali thinking Liberals feel more or less the difficulties which Mr: Blake suggested, bus do not feel them so strongly as he does, acd ars more hopeful about a solution of them being found without political union.\u201cLiberals were nearly if not quit: unanimous in not wanting political uniop; but they did want unrestricted reciprocity; and they were not asked to support unrestricted reciprocity except on fair terms, such as would be consistent with British connection and with the honor of Canada.Canadians generally are proud of their status as British subjects, ard did not want unrestricted reciprocity if it was to involve a change in their nationality, or could only be obtained on terms to which they could not honorably agree.They did not want it at the expense of handing over to another nation this grand Dominion, so extensive in territory, so mightly in resources, and with such grand natural prospects in the future, They did not want it if to obtain it or keep it we Lad to cease to be British subjects, and also to abandon our aspirations for an independent Canada on Canada ceasing to be part of the British Empire.\u201cWe are as much attached to our Nation as the people of the United States are to theirs.That attachment does our neighbors honor, and intelligent men amongst them cannot regard otherwise our attachment to our Nation.As no commer- clal or other material advantage, real or supposed, would induce the people of the United States to change their allegiance, so neither, I hope, will the prospect of some material advantage Induce Canadians to change their allegiance to the empire.Liberals did not see that unrestricted reciprocity would have any such effect ; they believed that with unchanged political relations, unrestricted reciprocity would, on the whole, be a good thing, for our farmers especially, and through them for the whole community.But unrestricted reciprocity at the price of annexation we were nobprepared 1CF, ; c¢ On the independenté question Mr.Mowat says : \u201cIhe time has not yet come for forming Canada into an independent nation, Any who think so are deceiving themselves, The Provinces of the Domirion are not prepared for union as & nation; they are not yet saff- clently kuit together in national sentiment 88 Canadians, Our common British connexion is the strongest tie that at present binds us together.Then considering in connexion with this fact that we Have a frontier of several thousand miles, alongside a nation of 63,- 000,000, absolute independence is plainly out of the question for the presant.Apart from all other considerations, therefore, British connection is to be cherished meanwhile by all practicable and just means, in the interest of Canadian independence.To promote disaffection towards our own nation is against all our aspirations for Canada\u2019s national future.To obtain and keep independence we shall need all our people\u2019s patience and patriotism, and all our statesmen\u2019s wisdom ; and one essential requirement 18 the cherishing mean- .while of our British connection and the British sentiment of our people, and when the opportune time ¢ mes for Canadian independence we shall need British alliance.Securing British alliance we may also have the alliance of other European countries which are represented in «(ur population, and the alliance of the United States also, with which we have bo many things in common.But without British friendship and British alliance our separate nationality will be hopeless.\u201d The following are the concluding paragraphs of the letter : 1 am writing tbe present letter fr publication.My obj: ct in writing is to urge on Liberals to staid by all the accepted principles of tie Liberai par'y in Canada, including the two articles of British con- nec ion and unrestricted reciprocity.I *ddress my letter to you with your per- miesion snd because your views and mire coneur.Both of us are with our jarty for unrestr cted reciprocity, because we believe that unrestricted reciprocity would be a good thing for both anada and the Uniteu S'ates, We know that reciprocity is only obtainable, if at all, thro ugh the Liberal party, the only recijrocity the Conservatives go for being a reciprocity stort of what would, 88 we telreve, be fur tire interest of Canada, and short at tLe s+me time of what the United States wcu'd agree to.My letter to Dr.McKay is spoken of in the Coneervative press as if it expressed new opinions on my part; and it is suggested that the letter was writien for putlicatior.and to announce to the general public of Canada an autagonism between myse!fand the Liberal ieaders, the Hon.Mr.Laurier and Sir Richard Cartwright, bis able coadjutor in Ontario.The truth is otherwise on both points.My letter was written for no other object than the Woodstock meet ing, and without any thought of antagonism towards either of our two friends.The s-ntimeuts expressed in it in regard to British connection I had often expressed before; and I have repeatedly expressed publicly my concurrence in unrestricted reciprocity also.As for the Liberal leageri n Deminion aflairs, our eloquent friend, Mr, Laurier, has ro follower in any of the Provinces who honors him more than I do, has greater confidence in his patriotiem and uprightness, or is more glad to follow him, I am sure that so far as his 1n- fluence and policy may aff-ct the question of annexation, should that question ever bave to be practicaily dealt with in our time, tbat influence will not be exerted or that policy designed to promote the annexation and surrender of our country to any other power.I am sure that itis for the common interestthat Mr.Laurier should continue to have as leader the undivided confidence and support of the Liberal party in all the Provinces.It is iu the public interest that his following in the House of Commons should be maintained and strengthened.I hope that in the approaehing bye- elections the Liberal candidat-s will receive the active and zealous support of the whole party.If any lover of British connection hesitates abont giving this Bupp«rt, let him bear in mind that a principal objection urged in the Un:t-d States against reciprocity 18 that 1t would prevent political union, instead of furthering it.Tle true view I apprehend is, that 1t would have no effect on th.t question either way.It certainly will have none if the attachment of the Canadian people to the country of their fathers is a8 great as we now believe it to be.Let 18 a!l then continue to stand on the party\u2019s accepted platform as = wbole\u2014justlaws,a pure administr-tion, economical government, unrestricted reciprocity of trade relations in regard to the products of the two countries, whether natural or manufactured, and British cons ection until the times comes for Canada to take its place in the wor:d as one of its independent nations.Tory sympathy for the south in the civil war lost to us the reciprocity treaty.The Tory so called national policy has given to our farmers the McKinley tariff, besides accomplishing a host of other bad thinge.The hope of Canada now lies in the Liberal party.Let no Canadian Liberals help to bar its progress or lessen its wvsefulness by favoring, or seeming to faver, the transfer of their country and its allegiance to any foreign power.Some of our farmers, Conservatives and Liberals alike, may talk somewhat wildly when they think of the markets from which to their loss they areexcluded; but I undertake to say that never, 88 8 matter of deliberate action, will either they or any other important section uf Canadians consent to gell their country and its nationality for gold or for greenbacks, whether in prospect or in promise, They will live on as they are, in hope of better things from a better Government.Yours very faithfully, 0.Mowar, \u2014_\u2014\u2014 FEARS A CHILIAN RAID, The Argentine Government Sends

reciprocity negotiations with the sugar-producing colonies of Great Britain in the West Indies, authorized by Bec.3 of the McKinley Bill, have reached a satisfactory conclusion in every case except that of Jamaica.The conventions agreed upon involve the interests of Trinidad and Barbadoes, together with those of Demerara in British Guiana.In the case of Jamaica, it is believed the only difficulty in the way of reaching an agreement is presented by the amount of revenue which that colony is asked to relinquish, and which its representatives kere \"are understood to declare it ia ira

YEAR SAFE BACK INTO PORT.\u2018Shipwrecked Sa\u2018lors and Their Rescue by the Steam Schr.Axnie McGee.TELL OF THEIR HARDSHIPS, The Rescued Meu Still BearTraces of Their Suffering\u2014Capt.Olsen, Master of the Late Bark Auna,Tells of the Wreck and Their Subsequent Movement Pleased With Their Treatment, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.QueBEC, Dec.14.\u2014Some 300 people assembled on the Commisser wharf a 2:30 this afternoon to witness the arrival of the steam schooner Anna McGee with the crew of the wrecked bark Anua, As tLe galiant craft swung around to the wharf three cheers were given with a will for the smart rescue effected by Capt.Cacoutte and his crew.The Norwegian sailors were all on deck.They bore traces of the harships suffered on that desolate Island of Anticost1.Capt.J.Olsen, of the illfated bark Anns, was seen on the deck of the Anna McGee.He too looked dejected.He paid, \u201cYes sir, we are safe, thank God, but the misery we endured would make an ordinary man\u2019s hairgrow gray.On Nov.23, as the wind blew high, we took in all light eails and stood with fore lower topsail and main upper topsail reefed.We were sailing on the skit- board tack.Atnoon I gave orders to tack ship.It was then very foggy, as it had been for several days, and knowing that the vessel would not tack I decided to wear her.As she was put before the wind the lookout sang out \u2018Breakers ahead,\u2019 and immediately she grounded.This was at 12.30, We were at Becsia River Island, Anticosti, and at 5 p.m.we got to the boats and went ashore.We landed among the breakers, our boats nearly swamped and ourselves drenched to the bones and our limbs benumbed jwith cold.Once ashore we lived in 8 Robinson Crueos way.We rescued little bread from the ship and the other provisions we got from hunters.We were beginning to despair when the news was brought to us that assistance was coming to us.We walked to Ellis Bay to meet the schooner Anna McGee, and on the morning of Dec.9, we eaw her heading t rus, This was 8 moment of great joy.\u201d Capt.Cacoutte, who undertook to meke this trip is a well-known Canadian sea dog.He was accompanied by Capt.Jonias, another daring skipper, who bas hunted the ice bound coast of Labrabor for many years.Capt.Coquette reports that on Dec.8 he experienced a heavy gale from the west with violent squalls and snowstorm, Capt.O1sen spoke very favorably of Capt.Cacoutte and crew snd said this was tbe most daring enterprise he had ever seen.Consul General Schwartz took charge of the poor sailors on arriving here.They are Capt.Olsen, Mute Abraham- sep, Second Mate Danielsen, Carpen er Errolsen, Stewart Marnesen, Seamen Olsen, Martinsen, Gotharsen, Lorensen, Eliasen, Karlsen.Crowds of peope gathered at the Hotel Kelly, to hear che story of the wreck of the bargue Anna, Major-General Herbert left yesterday afternoon for Ottawa and now local military circles are again at rest.There has been some little excitement prevailing during the past few days.Some 18 boarding pupils of Laval Normal School are reported laid up with the grip.The closing down of school till after the Christmas holidays has been somewbat precipitated by the event.La Sentinelle, of Montmagny, organ of Mr.P.Auguste Choquette, M.P.for that county, throws out a challenge to Lieut.- Governor Angers which reads as follows : \u201cMr.Angers is well known in the district of Montmagny, where he administersd justice during six or seven years.If he is just, honorable and strong in law as his admirers proclaim, he must have made his mark in the district and especially in the county of Montmagny, and his reputation of honorabil- ity, straightforwardoess snd science must have bad a great influence on the rate payers and electors of this county.Well, we ask Mr.Angers: when Mr.Abbott fulfilling his promise to him, will hand him a porttolio to reward him to stand for the county of Montmagny, we can inform him at once that if he Wishes t@accept our invitation, the

large number of fossil remains found within the borders of the State, and it was for this reason that Professor Williston severed bis connection with Yale College to accept a position as professor of paleontology in the State Univer-ity at this place.The Professor has devoted his time to the collecting and classification of the fossils, and now he has received notice that an immense fossil elephant has keen foutd in the arid region among the sand hills in the western part of the State.Arrangements are making to have the petrification carefully removed, as it 18 believed, from the descriptions sent the Professor, to be perfect, and if such.is the case it will be the only one ever found with no paris missing, The lett r announcing the find was written by one of the collectors for the university, and his letter says that the remains have been almost entirely uncovered and appear to be in a fine stats of preservation, The measurements show that the animal in life was a monster indeed, and that it was larger than any mammoth remains which have ever been discovered.It is 16 feet from the sols où the foot to the point of the shoulder, an its length is proportionate with the height.It is the aim of Professor Wil- liston to get the specimen intact and place it by the side of the immense megatherinm which is now the pride of the institate at this city.As this is the first mammoth remains which have been found in Kansas it excites much interest among the scientists as well as the curiosity of the general public.re Armee An Old Pensioner Mangled, SPECIAL TO THE

Noted Athletes Compete, Few championship races furnished petter sport than the 10 mile flat and the two mile steeplechase contests of the Amateur Athletic Union, held at the Berkeley Oval Saturday.All ofthe best distance runners competed, with the result that both events were well contested, despite the fact that the track was in a wreiched condition.Tue most noted absentee was \u201cTommy\u201d Conneff, who has decided to join the professional ranks, but the little Irish runner's oid rival, \u201cEddie\u201d Carter, was on hand in the 10 mile run and ran a beautiful race, winning by over alap.After the form that Carter showed everybody regretted Connefl\u2019s absence.The first event decided was the 10 mile run.Saven sturdy looking athletes in thinly claa costumes faced the starter.They wera E, C.Carter, New York A.C.; R.H.Col- Ling, Varuna Boat Club; J.Mason, Star A.C,; E.H.Whitelatrh and J.D.Lloyd, Prospect Harriers, and John Rogers aad T.Vogellus, Xavier A.A.They all looked to be in splendid con- dition\u2014particularly Carter\u2014and when the pistol waa fired at 2.45 p.m.the boy- went off their marks quickly and sion got a nice steady stride, with Carta leading.The latter piloted the field ove the first quarter in 1m.233.Lloyd wa» second, Rogers third, Vozelius fourt and Collins fifth.The positions of th men remained unchanged until after th first mile had been covered, waen Carter spurted and began to draw away from his fieid.At seven miles Carter lel by a lap, and from that point to the eu! took matters easily, running on evsn terms with Collins and the second man.Carter won as he pleased by 600 yards in 57m.248, Collins was second in 59m.6s, and Vogellus third in 60m.41s.Carter's race shows that he has still lots of speed, pluck and endurance.The two-mile steeplechase resulted in a big surprise.Thestartersin thisevent were À.B.George, Manhattan A.C,; Ernest Hjertberg, New Jersey A.C.; M, Hynes, Star A.C.; G.Bartlett, Acorn A A., and W.R.Yard, Berkeley A.C George immediately took the lead, and getting a sharp pace, cleared the first obstacle three yards in advauce of Hjert- berg, with Hynes third, Yard fourth and Bartlett iast.The latter quit when he saw the water jump, saying that the .water was too cold for swimming.George, who was the first man over the water jump, landed right in the centre of the water and got a thorough .ducking.The others followe : suit, - Hjertberg followed George close'y all the way, and on the fourth lap reached the water jump firat und gave George the benefit of his splash, Hjertberg ran so hard and well that he raced the cham- ion completelv off his feet, compsliing im to quit.Hjertberg retained his lead to the end, winbing by 20 yards in 1lm.34 3-5s., with Hynes second, in 12m.15 3-5s., and Yard third, in 12m.47s.This is the first championship that sdjertberg has ever won, and his victory was a popular one.Athletes Punished, : New York, Dec, 14\u2014Four of the New York Athletic Club\u2019s best athletes, who \u201cdompeted.in the Seventh Regiment games in violation of the warning of the Metsopolitan Association ofthe Amateur Athletic Union, have been punished by the officials.of their organization for - competing.The offending athletes are Harry Morrell, the champion amateur hurdler of America; G.L.Catlin, middle \"distance runner; George Schwegler, the ex-champion amateur hurdler, and W.\u201c B.French, the distance runner.The cases of the athletes in question were considered at a special meeting of the Athletic Committee ofthe N.Ÿ.A.C., of which William B.Curtis is cbairman, on - Monday night, but the result of the committee\u2019s deliberations did not leak out until yesterday.The com- mitee discussed the action of the offending athletes for three hoars and then decided to take their names from the list of athletic members and place them oa the regular membership roll, This means that Morrell, Catlin, Schwegler and French will have to pay the full dues prescribed by the constitution of the club.\u2019 In discussing the matter yesterday Morrell said :\u2014 The action of the Athletic Commiitea _a problem.in punishing us is not the sentiment of the majority of the members of tue New York Athletic Club and I doubt if it will be sustained by fthem: I attribue tue action of the commi«tes to Chairmau William B.Curtis, who is very sour on all the men who competed at the Saventh Regiment games.Thera are 300 mwm- bers of the Seventh Regiment, who also hold membership in the N.Y.A.C., and every one of them will stand by us, ani if the action of the Athlatic Committe should come up befor: a general moaat- ing of the club I think it would be reversed.The Seventh Rcgiment, howe ever, will surely fight any action the Metropolitan Associatip may take injthe matter, and I feel confident it wili win.Ex-President Waiter G.Schuyler of the New York Athleuc Club, Mr.\u201c Lance\u201d Wilson and many other prominent athletic officials in the regiment believe that every athlete who competed in the games had a perfect right to do so, and, as they are men well posted on athletic law, I think their opinion is just as solid as any member\u2019s of the Board of Managers of the Metropolitan Association.If the New Yorks insist on punishing me for my action I will resign from the or- xanization.\u2014 The M, A.A, A.Secretary.Mr.W.8.Weldon, the secretary ot the M.A.A.A, is improving daily and last night was much better than oun Saturday snd Sunday.It is expected that he will be out again in a day or so.PE

circles here as to what salary he will receive, but the only statement that can be procured from any ot the principals in the transaction was that the amount was more than double what Mr.Marvin bad been previously paid.THE GUN, The Young Champion Fulford Defeats Captain Brewer, On the Woodlawn Park grounds, Coney Island, Saturday afternoon, the greatest pigeon shooting contest ever held in this country was decided in favor ot E.D.Fulford of Connecticut.The match was for $1000 a side, best three out of four shoots.At 10:45 o\u2019clock the shooting commenced, Fulford having won two of the previous matches, and his -pponent, Captain John L.Brewer of Philadelphia, one.Thess men have probably the best records in this country for pigeon shooting, Fulford in one of the previous matches having shot 100 birds without a miss.A large crowd of enthusiastic experts were present, and the judges, John Rig- gott, of Rockaway, N.J., and Charles H.Townshend, of Forest and Btream, caa both boast of good records in thig line, I'be men made a poorer showing than in any of their previous matches, although all the conditions were favorable for good shooting, the birds being good and the weather all that could be desired.A large amount of money had been wagered by the admirers of the contestants, but the men seemed to be so evenly ma'ched that neither side would \"give odds, At 1 o'clock Fuliord had killed 111 out of 125 birds, and Brewer 108 out of 125.Two hours later, when the match was concluded, Fulford had killed 223 out of 250 birds, while Brewer was only a little behind

on the sub- Jject it says : \u201cThe continued existence of the Gut- tenberg track, run as it is, is an injury ts the sport in which the Monmouth people bave an interest, and the longer winter racing is permitted and allowed to go on without being tabooed by the board of cn trol tracks the greater will be the resulting injury to the sport as a whole.Every owner, trainer, jockey and bookmaker who has to do with these wiater track abominations, nd matter how honestly they may be run, ought to be tabooed and made outlaws by all the reputable tracks in the United -States, east and west, *It is time to \u2018take the bull by the horns,\u2019 and put a stop to the farcical gambling game, miscalled racing, that is being carried on over in New Jersey.\u201cOrganized as the great clubs now are into a body that has power to enforce its rules, it is an open confession of cowardice if tbe Board ot Control does not make and enforce a law declaring the people who will insist on racing horses out of season to be outlaws.The board is strong enough to take the step, and in taking such a stepit would have the support of all people who do not look upon racirg asa çambling game pure and simple.Every man who owns or trains a stable of horses that is worth baving at the race tracks in the east would abide by the rule, and nine- tenths of them at least would welcome such a rule as that suggested.\u201cAll of the principal tracks in the west would readily agree to such a rule if the Board of Control would ask them to become parties to it, and its adoption would be one of the very best things that could be done to take the sport out of the hands of the blacklegs into whose ccntrol it is rapidly drifting, thanks to the cowardice of the larger clubs, every one of which seems just now to be rua- ning its track solely for the money that there is in it and without the least regard for bettering and improving a most glorious pastime, than which there is no other in which the public is more Qeeply interested.\u201cThe creation of a National Jockey club, to which the people of the West should be asked to give their allegiance, and to always been willing so to do, would enable the reputable clubs to put a stop to the travesty on sport, or worse, that is daily seen on the Guttenberg hill and at Garfield park in Chicago.ho outlaws that would come under the ban would be few, for all the prizes in the racing world are to be had on the tracks that would nalura'ly become members of a National organization.No man who has a horse that is fit to race would be found on these faro-bank tracks, and no bookmaker of capital or reputation would dare to make a book at these taboned tracks where cruelty to animals and to the children who are forced to ride the horses is prac- tisad daily.\u201cIt is a drastic measure that is oro- posed, but there is no other way in which to treat this ev1l which will surely bring ruin to racing if the Guttenberg and Garfield park business is allowed to continue longer with the 1mplied sanction of the clubs that ought to atand for better things in racing, and whose managers apparently fear the adoption of such measures because they might result in the loss of a tew dollars.The clubs can well afford to part with even a few thousand dollars of the.r income for a time if need be, for they are all making enormous sums of money

caueed at the Garfield track Saturday by the sudden appearance of a large body of police.For a time it looked as ifthe whole establishment was to be \u201cpulled.\u201d As it was the races all had to be run over the tree quarter mile crack, the police taking posession of the fall course and enforcing to the letter the ordinance prohibinug gambling within 400 feet of a boulevard.This was the last day of the so-called meeting and vhe demonstration, itis underatood, was intended by the authorities as a notice that any attempt to reopen the place in the spring would pe futile.Representative Carson said to-day that he hada bill prepared to introduce in the next Legislature that would make tha suppression complete.MISCELLANEOUS, Needham and Ryan, Danny Needham\u2019s challenge forfeit of $500, posted with The Chronicle for a match with any 140-pound man in the world, has been productive of an engagement with Ryan, the champion welter-weight of the world.Ryan telegraphed that he would meet Needham tor a good purse 1n the California Club, and be ready to wager $5000 when the battle takes place.This 18 satisfactory to Needham, if terms can be made with the club, as will doubtlssæbe

disfranchised for a term of years.That would scarcely be fair unless gghe man who offered \u2018he bribe {were treated in a similar manner, Premier ABporr has taken care to bring the first bye-election on in a scrong Copservative constituency, North Lan- ark, vacant by Mr.Jamieson\u2019s elevation to a County Court Judgship.It is doubtful, however, if he has improved the situation by sending the Postmaster General to manage the campaign.\u2014 Tek AprPoINTMENT of Mr.Jamieson, M.P.for North Lanark, to the junior county judgeship of Wellington, has led gome papers to remark that \u201cthe temperance wing of the Conservative party has retired from Parliament.\u201d There is a good deal of force in the remark.Mr.Jamieson was the only man among the Conservatives in the House of Commons who bad the courage to stand by his temperance principles in preference to the claims of party.fl .THE PETITION presented to the City Council yesterday, emanating from forty- six church and gociety organizations, praying for early closing of the saloons, must be regarded as an influential one.It is beginning at the right end of things.Instead of demanding that which is unattainable, and which in the present state of public opinion would be of little value even if attained\u2014prohibition-\u2014the temperance people must be content to secure the reforms they desire step by step.Public opinion must be educated, and concessions in the direction of real temperance reform \u201cmust be secured one by one.That has been the modus op- erandi where the temperance movement has secured real successes and is substantially backed up by public opinion.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE LEGISLATURE of this Province has been summoned to meet December 29 The announcement 1s made in an extra of The Official Gazette.This should set at rest rumors which were current yesterday, first, that Premier Mercier has resigned and, secondly, that he had been dismissed.Premier Mercier is likely to continue holding the fort, and remembering the Letellir case, Lieutenant Governor Angers is not likely to take the extreme step of dismissing his Ministars, at least until the tribunal of his own choosing has reported on the investigation made into the charges preferred against them, and probably not even then.The probability is that matters will be alluwed to take the constitutional course and the task of dealing with the report of the Royal Commission be devolved upon the Local Legislature.\u2014\u2014 How.O.Mowar, Premier of Ontario, has published another letter on the question of annexation, in which he repudiates the construction put on his former letter, that he was opposed to the Liberal policy of unrestricted reciprocity.He expresses confidence in Hon.Mr.Laurier, the Dominion Liberal leader, and says he believes a policy of unrestricted reciprocity, on fair terms, would be beneficial to our farmers especiaily and throngh them to the whole community.He says in one part of his letter : © I wish also to correct an inference which has been drawn from a published letter of mine to Dr.McKay, my colleague in the representation of Oxford in the Legislative Assembly written at his request the day before the Woodstock meeting that I am now against unrestricted reciprocity with the United States in the products of the two coan- tries.This is not so.Loyalist as I am, I am willing to run the risk of à fair measure of unrestricted reciprocity.Rome rieks have to be run in all great measures, and these risks are sometimes in one direction and sometimes in another.\u201d That is surely plain enough.The baser sort of Tory joarnals will now cease putting Mr.Mowat on the back and once moie resume thelr policy of abuse.They were disposed to thank him for his former letter; they will hardly thank him for this last one, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Mrs.Benjamin Harrison and the Princess Louise must feel flattered at being the only two women who have ever been permitted toenter the cloisters of the Monastery of Santa Barbara, in California; though it knocks the gilt off the gingerbread to know that, after departure, their footprints on the holy soil were deemed such desecration that it had to be reconsecrated in the most solemn and penitential fashion, and re- æardless of trouble orexpense.| annexation, ingtead of consolidation aud the TAX REFORM.We reproduce from The Evening News, of Detroit, Mich., an article on the question of taxation reform, which we commend to the consideration of the merchants and manufacturers of Montreal.Itis the merchants and manufacturers of Detroit who are moving in the matter and their example might well be imitated by those of the commercial metropolis of Canada.What with business tax, water tax, taxes on individuals in the shape of licenses, special {axes on food purveyors, and enormous exemptions from taxation, in addition to taxes on real estate, the system of taxation in vogue in this city is about a8 burdensome and inequitable as it well can be, There can be no doubt that the question of taxation 18 becoming, if it has not already become, a serious one for our mercantile and manufacturing interests, and the problem of tax reform cannot too soon engage our earnest attention.One of the very first points of the problem to be dealt with is the abolition of the enormous exemptions from taxation which pravail in this city.If these inequitable exemptions were swept away, the burden of taxation on the masses of the people would be materially lightened.But apart from this our system of taxation is inequitable, burdensome on business and industry.Just what shape reform should take we do not at present suggest, but we call attention to the fact that in Detroit the single land tax idea is coming into prominence, and the arguments with which it is supported by The News of that city are at least striking, if not conclusive.The question is one which will repay investigation and study.We suggest that our business men and / manufacturers give expression to their opinions on this subject\u2014the columns of The Herald are open for a series of short \u201c letters.| \u2014 IS THE ELECTION LAW TOO STRICT ?Some Copservative journals, and some Liberal journals also, are complaining tbat the election law is either too strict or too strictly interpreted, their opinion being based on the fact of so many members being unseated for very trifling offences committed by agents, or by active election workers, who are assumed by the law to be agents, We do not think the law is too strict, though its provisions may be too strictly interpre- ted\u2014the cases of South Perth and North Victoria being 1n point.In both cases the offences, committed by persons assumed to be agents, were of the most trivial character,Under such sweeping interpretation of the law of agency and illegal acts, almost any contested election could be voided, no matter how careful and scrupulous the successful candidate might have been in observing the spirit and letter of the law.The indiscreet, reckless or thoughtless agents are the people who generally do the mischief, and in nine cases out of ten the un- offending successful candidate has to suffer for their acts.While we do not think the law 18 too s'ret, still we are free to admit that excessively strict interpretation of its provisions often works great hardship to candidates who have striven honestly to conduct a pure campaign, when they are made responsible for any trivial act that may have been committed by active workers in their cause, the result being the unseating of the members even though they knew nothing of the acts,and strong- 1y,desired that nothing contrary to law should be done.But the agents who brought all this trouble and expense upon the members and the men who accepted the bribes go scot free.Itis a case of the innocent being punished for the guilty, and that is where the hardship comes in.It Is bardly fair in such circumstances to held the candidates responsible, unless some evidence were produced to show that they directly or indirectly connived at such acts.A better plan would be to punish those who were directly the parties to the illegal or corrupt acts complained of\u2014to punish the briber and the bribed and notto unseat the member unless it could be shown beyond reasonable doubt that the acts complained of were serious and numerous enough to affect the result of the election.There is very.little doubt that punishment of those who are direct parties to infractions of the election law would do a great deal more to stamp out illegal and corrupt practices than visiting the consequences of such acts upon the members who may be entirely ignorant of them until they are brought to their notice in the election court.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 \" MR.BLAKE'S LETTER AGAIN.When running on the loyalty tack Tory organs profess to enjoy much satisfaction in referring to Hon, Edward Blake\u2019s letter of March last, in which he expressed the opinion\u2014econtrary to that held by the majority of the Liberal party leaders\u2014that ucrestricted reciprocity might lead to political union with the United States.At a Conservative meeting in Kingston the other might, where the waving of the old flag constituted the ptincipal argument addressed to the electors, one of the orators referred to Mr.Blake's letter, and with a remarkable display of intelligence said, \u201c he thanked Mr.Blake for that letter as 1t endorsed Conservative views.\u201d He evidently forgot that the lefter throughout was a scathing arraignment of the policy pursued by the Conservative Government and party for the past twelve years, the results of which, in the estimation of all honest men, are truly deplorable.Here is what Hon.| Edward Blake said about the Conser - vative policy : The Canadian Conservative policy has failed to accomplish the predictionsofits promoters.\u201cIts real tendency has boen, as foretold twelve years ago, towards disintegration and a ss >= *- THE MONTREAL HEBALU What is POSATINN EST TA = cther
