Gambling Octopus of Louisiana Gives Up the Fight at Last.WON'T TAKE NEW CHARTER.John A.Morris\u2019s Formal Announcement of This Purpose\u2014impelled, He Says, by a Desire to Avoid a Conflict\u2014The Event Removes a Source of Much Danger tothe Peace of the State, New York, Feb.4.\u2014The World\u2019s special from New Orleans says: The great lottery fight in Louisiana is over.John A, Morris addressed a letter tonight to the people of Louisiana in which he says that under no circumstances will be and his associates accept the chart>r should the amendment be passed by ever £0 large a vote in the coming April election.Following is a full text of Mr, Morris\u2019s letter: \u201cNEw ORLEANS, Feb, 2, 1892, ¢ To the People of the State of Louisiana : \u201cIn the spring of 1888 I wag at different times approached by a number of prominent Democrats of Louisiana, who urged upon me the propriety, in the interest of the finances of the State, of submitting to the Legislature the proposition for a constitutional amendment which would grant to me and my associates a lottery priv.lege for 25 years, for a license sufficiently high to be of material assistance to the State.It wasurged upon me by those gentlemen that my associates and I should be willing to give to the people of Louisiana an opportunity to be as materially benefited by such à charter as the present charter of the company had been profitable to its in- corporators, to which suggestion I acquiesced._ \u201cI was assured that the proposition would meet with little, if any, opposition under such conditions, for the opposition to the present charter was said to be based mainly upon the fact that the amount of license paid was entirely inadequate to the needs of the people for the prevention of increased taxation or for the reduction of present taxation by providing for charities, schools, levees, &c.\u201cThese suggestions prompted me to announce to the people of the State of Louisiana that I would apply for such a charter and Would give the sum of $500,- 000 per annum as a license tax.\u201cUr tl I ba zxaounced that I would make such a proposition to the State there bad been no opposition manifested towards the continued existence of a lottery in Louisiana, After I had publicly submitted my offer to the people, and had committed myself to its terms, to my astonisk ment and surprise some of tbe prominent men who had approached me on the subject and who had urged me to make such a proposition became opponents to the project, and aided in organizing public hostility towards it.\u201cAt the solicitation of a number of gentlemen who still favored the proposition and whose property had suffered from overflows of the Mississippi River, I increased the original amount that I had offered to pay as a license tax for the privilege of a new Charter to $1,000,- \u201cThis latter amount was increased still further by the Legislature to $1,250,- 000 per annum, and in this condition the amendment was ordered to be submitted to the people by the requisite two-thirds votes of each branch of the Legislature.\u201cThen began a crusade on the part of those opposed to the proposition, inside and outside of the State, for the purpose of preventing the adoption of the revenue amendment and making the amendment of a lottery as objectionable in the eyes of the people of the United States a8 was possible.The fact that the $1,- 250,000 per annum license tax which was to be paid to the State of Louisiana would be derived from a business which would come from other States and for.elgn countries, brought about the enactment by Congress of what is now commonly known asthe Anti-Lottery Post.1 aw.\u201c It was charged at all times that it Was my object to have the revenue amendment passed by negro votes against the wishes and desires of a ma- Jority of the white people of the State of Louisiana, yet on all occasions 1 have urged and sgreed that the smendment should be submitted to the white people at a primary election, so that they could pass upon the question whether they wanted the amendment adopted or not, as I had no desire to be connected with the proposition unless it received the approval of more than the majority of the white people of the State of Louisiana.\u201cAfter the passage by Congress of the Anti-Lottery Postal law, I was informed by a number of eminent and able attorneys whom I consulted, that this law was a violation of the rights of the State and ofthe freedom of the press, and such would be, in their opinion, the decision of the Supreme Court of theUnited States.Accordingly test cases on the question were made up and submitted to the court for determination.From the institution of the test cases until now the opposition to the revenue amendment has intensified in its bitterness.\u201cRealizing thoroughly, 1 and my associates, that we have en incorrect in our opinion of publie sentiment on this question of a new charter, and mot desiring to see the people of the State of Louisiana involved in strife over this question, I hereby declare upon my part, and on the part of my associates, that we shall not aceept or qualify under the amendment, if it be adopted by the people at the general election of April, 1892.As the Supreme Court of the United States has decided the anti-lottery posta! law to be constitutional,it is my purpose and that of my associates to respect that law and abstain from violating itin any manner.\u201cOur offer was actuated as much by a desire to benefft the people of the State of Louisiana as the prospeet of profit to ourselves which would ariee from the grant as 8 business proposition.My asgociates and I are closely identified with the interests of the people of Louis- ians, as we own much property within its borders, and convinced that the granting of another lottery in the State would be the canse of continued agitation and discontent upon the part of a number of the citizens of Louisiana fo.the entire period fof which such a charter might be conferred, we would be unwilling to accept such a charter or privilege, even though it were given to us without the payment of one dollar of license tax.\u201cJoux A.Mornis.\u201d Had the lottery struggle gone on it would almoat surely have terminated in bloodshed, as the McEnery faction would have insisted upon the right to scrutinize the registration, the poil lists and the counts.As the contest now stands it ie simply a fight betweea the McEnry faction ot the Democratic party and the Foster Alliance combine, the latter of which sprang into existence because of the proposed lottery amendment.This division might have given the State to the Republicans.Now it ie very likely that the division in the Democratic party will be healed and the party present a solid front to the Republicans in April election._\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Died Without Making a

Arranged fer the Ontario Government \u2014 Carleton (County Oraugemen Adopt Interesting Resolutions.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.OTTawA, Feb.4\u2014The Deputy Minister of Marine was this morning shown the

prefer not to say anything upon the subject, which Was à large one, in the absence of his Minister, who would likely return in the course of two or three days.He could, however, say that Mr.Plimso!l must have overlooked the fact that at the very last session of Parliament, Canada had passed à most stringent law to cover the abuses complained of by Mr.Plimsoll in his famnus pampblet attacking the Canadian mercantile marine, That law only went into force cn Nov.16, and had not had a fair trial, as the navigation season closed three weeks later.Enough has been shown, however, o prove that it

ncueces the \u201cwizard\u201d for \u2018his refusal to again contest with him (Slosson) for the championship emblem.Schaefer, on the other hand, has decided to accept the challenge of Ives for a championship match, the game to occur in Chicago.Schaefer has named March 10 ag the date, but Ives declares that he will not be in proper form to do himself justice until March 23.This extra time, he claims, he is entitled to.A compromise date will probably be agreed upon.Meanwhile Schaefer enjoys Slosson\u2019s discomfiture, which will probably lead to a continuation of hostilities between the great experts.\u2014\u2014 THE WHEEL, The Aetion of the Beard in the Zimmerman Case, The Sun says: The action of the League of American Wheelmen upon the case of A.A.Zimmerman of the New York Athletic Club, which was printed in The Sun yesterday, created no end of discussion in athletic and wheeling circles.The fact that charges of a violation of the league rules by Zimmerman was under investigation was known to so few that the Racing Board\u2019a action was a big surprise.The knowledge that Mr.Atwater has made a misstep in declaring Zimmerman à professional without adherence to the L.A.W.and À.A.U.allie ance rules seems to prevail with all the vrominent wheelmen of this section.Zimmerman has always been regarded as one of the best amateurs on the path, A Sun reporter visited Zimmerman\u2019s bortie in Freehold, N, J., yesterday, bat he wae not found.His brother-in-law, Joseph McDermott, who always assumes entire charge of Zimmerman during his big races, was seen, but he was averse to discussing his relative\u2019s suspension at any length.He gays that the explanation of the Worcester trouble as it appeared in The Sun yesterday is Zimmerman\u2019s explanation of the trouble.The latter was under the impression that he could accept the $25 and personally purchase something suitable to his taste for & prize.But upon learning that his acceptance of the money was contrary to the L.A.W.rules, he immediately returned the same.Zimmerman rode at the Worcester meet obly at the persistent requests of the meet managers, who had advertised his intention to compete without authority.Mr.McDermo't, who is cbairman of the Rights and Privileges Committee of the New Jersey division of the L.À.W., says gthat both Zimmerman and himself have perfect confidence in the League.He is naturally provoked at the action of the Racing Board, but believes that they will adjust the matter honest ly.If they deem the evidenes sufficient to refuse his application for re-instate- ment, he says Zimmerman will take hig medicine like a man and abide by their decision, providing it is just.Every arrangement had been made for Zimmerman to sail for Europe.His trunks are packed, and the only thing that will now detain him is the satisfactory settlement of his trouble, The impression that the Worcester people purpceely arranged for the payment cf the $25 to Zimmerman

it was decided bat \u201cA yacht of or under 10 rating shall, when being measured for length of the load water-line, have on board her, and placed as near mid-length as practicable, men in number equal to the maximum number of persons her owner may specify to the secretary or measurer he intends ever to carry in her in a race.Such number shall be endorsed on the certificate of rating, and shall not be exceeded in any race under such certificate.\u201d _\u2014\u2014 THE KING, Mose Gunst of the Pacific Coast Talks About the Fighters, From The St.Louis Post-Dispatca, Mose Guost, the well-known Pacific Coast patron of pugilism, is on his way to Cuba to purchase tobacco supplies.Friday night he visited the Standard Theatre and witnessed the sparring exhibition of Mitcheli and Slavin, afterward going back on the stage and having a chat with both men, \u201cWho do you think will win the fight between Slavin and Jackson?\u201d Guost was asked by a Post-Dispatch representative, \u201cI think Tackson'will, With the exception of Suilivan, I regard Jackson as the greatest fighter in the world.The big fellow, however, is the best man of them all.I met Sallivan, too, on my way here from San Francisco.He is looking splendid.playing to big business, and is mot drinking, as has been reported, He is anxious to fight Slavin as soon as his present theatrical contract is concluded.\u201d \u201c Don\u2019t you think Slavin is too hard a hitter for Jackson ?He whipped Joe Ma- Auliffe in a round and a half, while Jackson only beat the Californian after a long battle.\u201d \u201cJackson, in my opinion, is too clever a man for Slavin and will not let him reach him.Slavin is not a scientific man, you know.The fact that Slavin whipped McAuliffe so much quicker than Peter did counts for nothing, Jackson is not a rusher or quick fighter.He is like Jack Dempsey, and finishes his men slowly.Besides, when he met McAuliffe here it was the colored man\u2019s first fight of any consequence in this country, and the Californian had been beating everybody.This made Jackson very cautions, and he would take no chances with his man.For this reason McAuliffe lasted longer than he otherwise would have done.I also know that Jackson had the best paying saloon of any fighter in San Francisco.It was a gold mine, and be sold it out to fight Slavin, whom he has been very anxious to meet.I think that action on bis part shows how he feels about his ability to win.\u201d \u201cHow about the Corbett draw?\u201d \u201cCorbett has got more undeserved credit out of that fight than any pugilist in the country has for an equal amount of work.Jackson was in no condition whatever {0 enter a ring, his ankle being terribly swollen.Then he threw his shoulder out and had to fight the rest of the battle with practically one arm.Corbett stands absolutely no chance whatever against Jackson.In 8 six- round contest Corbett is a wonder, and can best any man, but after that he is no good.He is no man for a finish fight.In San Francisco we regard him as a clever limited round boxer, but not a finish fighter.Joe Choypski is & wonder.He will fight anybody, no matter who he is or how big he is, and there is no man of his weight in tae world who would stand a sbow with him.He hits a terrific blow.You see Choynski fights at about 168 pounds, and has been meeting men 20 and 30 pounds heavier than himself and generally defeating them, too.Then he is a very gentlemanly, well educated young fellow, a much better educated man than Corbett, Choynski 18 very young.I do not think he is over £2 years of axe.\u201d \u201cWhat do vou think of Fitzsimmons and Maber ?\u201d \u201c Fitzsimmous will whip him sare, in my cpinion.He has more science and bas an awful reach and the ability to hit a hard blow.You will sea that Fitz will prove the winner.He can whip most of those heayyweights, and would not have gone into the match unless he knew retty well the man he would have to eat.\u201cJack Dempsey,\u201d continued Mr.Gunst, \u201cwas my favorite of all fighters, I made à great deal of money on Jack and also lost heavily when Fitzsimmons defeated him, That fight cost me $8500.Bat no man ever made a more game fight or took 80 much punishment.Dempsey is a splendid fellow.Let me give you a tip.If George Dixon is ever matched against Fred Johnston, of England, don't overlook the Britisher, for that fellow is a wonder.\u201d The Battle Will not be Postponed.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, New York, Feb.4.\u2014The following special was received at The Police Gazette office yesterday from Chas, Noel, the president of the Olympic Club, of New Orleans, in reference to the report that Peter Maher, the Irish champion, and Bob Fitzsimmons would not meet in the Olympic Club on March 2, but that the contest would be postponed: Please announce that reporta published in the east that the Maher and Fitzsim- mons fight will be postpozed are untrue.The battle will not be postponed under any circumstances, and will take place on Wednesday, March 2, as announced.For Choynski and lavia, SAN FRANCISCO, Feb.4,- -The California Club directors met last night and considered the advisability of arranging a six-round \u201cgo\u201d between Joe Choynski and Frank Slavin, The latter is expected here in a short time, and a8 he is on a money-making expedition it is fair to assume that he will meet Choynski for a fair-sized purse.Should the match be made California will have an opportunity of forming an intelligent estimate of the chances that Slavin will have of whipping Peter Jackson.Choynaki is anx - ous to have the fight arranged.He is confident of being able to hold his own vith Slavin.Goddard twice knocked out Choynski in four rounds, and it Slavin is as good ag reported six rounds ought to be equivalent to a finish.Wait Till Sullivan Gets There.PuxsLo,CoL, Feb.4.\u2014Regarding Charlie Mitchell's challenge John L.Sallivan said that it was the best advertising dodge Billy Thompson ever worked.\u201c When I reach New York,\u201d said Sulli- | van, \u201cthers will not be & man in sight.Pitcher\u2019s Castoria \\said number two, \u201cJimmy Swift's in Mitchell never whipped & man in his life, but if there is plenty of money in it, of course, l':l put out my arms against him in San Francisco,\u201d The Contest To-night, All arrangements have been completed for the scientific contest at the Stanley rink, 8t.Maurice-street, this evening between Mike Lucie, of Troy, and Ed.Bmith, of Denver.There is no question as to the ability of the two men; their records are sufficient to prove that point.They will spar sit rounds and immediately afterwards Smith agrees to stop an unknown of Point St Charles in four rounds.Smith, who is in excellent condition, is a lively sparrer, and a great fighter, the likes of wiiom may not often be seen in the city.Lucie, in his last appearance here, captured the andience by his cleverness and his return moans another big reception.Besides the main bout a wrestling match takes place between Jim Duane, wha is matched to figbt Black Frank, and _D.R.McMillan, of Cornwall.Young Verdon and an unknown will algo spar three rounus and Dick Guthrie will probably spar four rounds with Rlack Frank.\u2014\u2014r THE GUN.Carver Teok Sick After Deteatlag Clarke in Australis, Reference has already been made in these columns to Carver's match, hat the following are additional facts: \u201cDr, Carver's match with Lewis Clarke,cham pion of Victoria, at the Melbourne, Australia, Gun Club grounds fon Dec.1 last proved to be an easy victory for th American.The men shot at 100 live pigeons each, for £100 a side.\u2018The Australian did not seem to be in very goo: form.When 60 birds had been fired a Dr.Carver had killed 56 and Clarke 48.The latter then grassed 21 straight, but he was unable to overtake the doctor, who won by a score of 90 to 85.After the shooting Dr.Carver was attacked with influenza, and was compelled to take to his bed.His other two matches with Clarke were declared off.\u2019\u2014Sun, ee TURE.The Beard of Control Liesnge Jockeys.New York, Feb, 4.\u2014The Board of Control met yesterday afternoon in their rooms in the Cumberland, corner of Fifth avenue and Twenty-second street, discussed several matters, and wound up by licensing the following trainers and jockeys: Trainers\u2014J A Bromett, RB McBride, Thomas Courtney, J M Jeffcott, B Riley, W R Jones, George Buchanan, Thomas Green, Thomas Porter, James Neill, A Wheeler, John E Cook, and A Davis Pryor.Jockeys\u2014Joseph Bergen, H B Conklin, James Brennan, William Penn, Arthur Covington, George Covington, Fred Taral, Thomas Stephenson, W Schofield, and H Ray.As Joseph Bergen, who is under contract to ride for Jacob Ruppert, rode at Gloucester on Monday his license is void.It was said yesterday that some enemies of the Board of Control had told Bergen that they would pay his lawyer's expenses if he would question their authority to remit his license.Martin Bergen, it was rumored, would ride for Messrs.Brown & Rogers during the coming season, but it appears that the well-known rider is not under esgege- ment with them.Major Covington, whose services for 1592 were claimed by both Green B, Morris and Marcus Daly will ride for the former, Matthew Burnes, My.Daly\u2019s representative, relinquishing all claim on the best lightweight in the saddle.More They Jollied the Gang.San Francisco, Feb.4\u2014Two well- dressed young men walked into the Dak- land pool-room the other day and gazed for à while upon the board.They were strangers to the usual gang of sports and hangers-on.Looking intently at the entries jfor about a minute, one of the strangers at length remarked: \u201cLooks like a walk for Bohemian,\u201d \u201cOn, I don\u2019t know,\u201d it.\u201d \u201cBet you a thousand Bohemian wine,\u201d \u201cIf you're so sure about it, why | not make it three thousand ?\u201d \u201cYou can\u2019t bluff me, said number one warmly, \u201cand I'll call you for that; three thousand goes.\u201d A large crowd gathered about the unknown plungers, and the excitement wasintense.The bell rang.\u201cFhey\u2019re off\u201d said the man on the throne hoarsely.Not a muscle changed in the strangers, not even a shade paler did either one get.\u201cAin\u2019t they cool?\u201d said a bystander.\u201cGame,\u201d was answered.\u201cBohemian wins by a neck,.\u2019said the caller.\u201cCome up to the office,\u201d said number two, \u201cand T\u2019ll cut the amount off my string.\u201d They were com positors on a morning paper.and were betting thousands of ems instead of dollars.In all it was $1 35 a side and no fainting.CURLING.Curling

reports of financial troubles abroad, The latter, however, were not confirmed and on the strength of clearances of 600,000 bushels, inc'ud- ing wheat and flour, at the seabosrd and report of large purchases at Minneapolis for shipment by the way of Daluth, the market advanced and closed at 891c.We feel that during the neat 60 days the chances of profit will be better on the long side than on

is something that has not occurred for some time, Barley news and foreign advices were not of & character to advance prices, cables being lower and depressed; soon after the opening the market strengthened oun some good local buying, Later, clearances of wheat and wheat-fiour from New York were reported large, and closing cables were reported better, our market closing rather firm.Corn continues to hoid steady and has to-day advanced slightly, there being no contract among to-day\u2019s receipts; although the market ig very quiet there appears to be quite a number of believers in May in the neighborhood of present price.The Provision market has not attracted much attention to-day; prices have held steady.Receipts at the yards not quite up to yesterday.Eastern packers, wa

has been very discouraging to both growers and shippers.The continued weakness in foreign markets has made the trade dull and dragging, and unprofitable to holders who bought at long values, while tue farmers are dissatisfied with the prices offered in country markets, and are inclined to hold, though the light deliveries in country markets are attributed to the large quantity of wheat still un- treshed, as well a8 to & dispositien to hold.Farmers\u2019 deliveries of wheat since the firat of the year have been very much less than was expected.This was attributed to bad weather, but the last week has been very mild and generally favorable for delivering wheat, but 8till deliveries have kept light.Quite & number of buyers have been taken off country markets, a8 deliveries were 80 light that it did not pay to keep men out.No doubt some farmers who have threshed are holding for higher prices, but dealers think that deliveries will not be large again until threshing becomes general, This brings us again to the condition of grain in stack.Ua- doubtedly the bulk of grain in stack is not in condition to thresh, on account of snow and ice in sheaves, Of the wheat coming in at country points, a considerable quantity is damp, from thrashing in this condition.Damp grain, of course, cannot be handled at any price, and buyers are obliged to refuse it.It is just difficult to say wnat should be done with wheat in stack.By exercising great care, and removing the outer row of sheaves to ba threshed separately, the rest of the stack might be thresbed in a marketubie cou- dition, If the wheat cannot be turned out iu & dry state.it would be hettsr to allow 1t to remain in etack even until summer, as damp grain would bs wcree tban useless to dealers.Bhinoers ur» having a great deal of trouble wi h smut, : which is very prevalent.Smutty grain, when threshed a little damp, is in very bad sbaye, ag the smut balis are broke« in tbresting, whereas if dry a good deal would be blown oat.Shippers find 13 increasirgly difficuls to dispose of 1.w grade stofl, on acconnt ofsmat an-l other defects peculiar to thig crop.Rec ivers in foreign markets, where quant mes low grade stuff ars hid, are doing a good weal of gramblins, Children cry for ati Sa vee and the outlook for low grade and damaged qualities is for slower ale at lower prices.Unlees there is a strong upward movement in wheat values generally, of which there are ny indications at present, the outlouk for our low grade stuff is not encouraging.This 18 unfortunate, as it is desirable to get this stuff out of the country early.The railway situation ramains unchanged.Reports from the States are to the effect that the eastern railroads ars over-crowded with grain business, and shippers complain about their inability to get grain despatched in time to fill orders.Lines that were given orders to ship corn from store the first of the month have been unable to handle it, and in a few instances the orders have been cancelled.Only a few local shippers are trying to get wheat through to the seaboard.which can be done im 8000 bushel lots, Others are doing & limited business in car lots with eastern millers, but the demand from the latter quarter is light.Stocks at Fort William are creeping upward.At the last weekly report the stock in store at Fort William was 1,166,317 busnels, as compared with

but that the thirst for knowledge is not sufficiently strong within them to prove a suf- ficiectly strong counter attraction to the various temptations which beset a young man\u2019s path and lead bim from the ways of righteousness.With a view to prevent this abuse, it is suggested that parents should enquire now and then ag to the attendance of their boys, and also that weekly reports should be sent by the schools to the parents, showing the exact attendance of each pupil.\u2014\u2014\u2014 Recorder's Rehearsal, Recorder DeMontigny held the sand- glass for 24 cases yesterday.,Joseph Beaudoin, for fast driving, paid $10, and Alfred Maguan, Joseph Cadieux, Eugene Paquette and Pittre Pepin, $20 each for the same offence.The case of Napoleon Bouthillier was adjourned until Feb.11.Hermengilde Legault, arrested by Officer Burns for assault, was remanded until Friday.Richard Murphy, for being drunk and disorderly in a house on St.Patrick-street, was fined $5 or one month.Thomas O\u2019Brien, tailor, convicted of being drunk and assaulting the police, was asked to pay $10 or go below for one month.Joseph Cypiob, for a like offence, was fined the same amount.Alice Duffy gave herself up and said she wanted to go down.The recorder granted her request.mes An Honest Man, An old man, who had been imbibing rather too freely, fell off one of the Craig street cars last evening, He was picked op by some passers by and claimed to have been pitched off the car by the con- -ductor.Just after he had been perguad- ed to resume his homeward way on foot, Mr.Alfred Leblanc, of Lagauchetiere street, found a valuabie watch and chain in tbe snow.Thinking that it might be the property of the aged victim to \u201cJohn Barleycorn,\u201d he took the watch to the Central Station and gave it in care of Sergeant Watson.As he was leaving the station a policeman arrived with no less a personage in charge than the \u201caged victim\u201d above referred to.When he was searched he was sober enough to discover that his watch wae gone and his surprise and thankfulness when it was handed him was great, He was then locked up fox safe keeping.\u2014 Father Dowd\u2019s Successor.The following resolutions wers un- animousiy adopted on Wednesday evening by the Catholic Young Men\u2019s Society : \u201cWe, the Catholic Young Men\u2019s Society in meeting assembled, having received through our director, Rev.James Callaghan, S.S., an official notification of the promotion of Rev.John !

Catholics, 7; Jews, 12; Spiritualists, 8; Free Thinkers, 3; Agnostic, 1.The rest were divided among the different Protestant denominations, except 4, who are registered as of no religion.Four of the number gave their religion as simply Protestant.\u201d The Alleged Conspiracy.The alleged conspiracy case of Messrs, Twohey, Smith and Sorrenskey against J.J.Milloy was continued yesterday morning.Mrs.James Rose was the first witness called.Her evidence was mainly to establish the fact that Twohey visited ber husband on the evening of December 22.Louise Clark, a domestic in the employ of Mrs.Rose, testified to opening the door to Twohey on that dats, r.Sharpe, representing Mr.Hall, announced that he was there to watch the case for the Dominion Goyernment\u2014not on behalf of the defence, but for the protection of U.§, officiale.Mr.Quinn said he could not help expressing his astonishment.He thought the Government could find plenty to do without looking after other people.The men were not on trial as U.8.officials.The enquete then adjourned until this morning, when some interesting testimony 18 expected.-\u2014 More Election Protests, Protests appear to be the order of the day in connection with the recent mu- picipal elections, The latest of these has been filed by Alderman Kennedy\u2019s com- pasion in misfortune, Mr.Dickson Aa- derson, Mr.Anderson has instructed his counsel, Mr.Weir, to enter a protest on his behalf against Mr.James\u2019 election, The ballot boxes were opened before the RevisingBoard Wednesday afternoon.Nothing irregular was found in the conat and the whole of the figures already given remain unchanged.The statements in the boxes compared in every case exactly with those handed in by the deputy returning officer.Mc J.8.Archibald, Q.C., watched the opening in the interest of his client, Ald.James.When told of Mr.Kennedy's demand for an annulment of the election and the grounds on which it was taken Mr.Archibald made light of it.So di Ald.Canningham, who said that Mr.James would sit in peace for six months anyway.He said he expected it would take that length of time to get the matter through the courts.Others, not quite as fond of Ald.James, who ehould know, said it would take very much less time.That error in the initialing of the ballot papers, it is now learned, occurred at Poll No.4 (443 Jurors-street), and not at Poll No.11 (Plateau-street) as stated.The misstatement is to be regretted, as the deputy returning officer, who was at Poll No.11, is one of the most trustworthy and careful on the city\u2019s lists.Protect the Salmon, The following petition, which has been extensively signed by New England anglers who own fishing privileges in Canadian waters, will shortly be presented to the Hon, Charles H.Tupper, Minister of Marine and Fisher ies of the Dominion of Canada.This is with a view to protect the salmon, which it appears have become more scarce each year m Canadian waters and to such an extent that this valuable species of fish stands in danger of total extermination.The petition reads as follows: The undersigned, owners and lessees of fisbing privileges in Canada, respectfully represent that of late salmon have become more and more scarce each year in the Canadian rivers, and that unless the Dominion Government shall adopt some decided and effective measure to enable a larger number of saimor to cafely reach their spawning grounds, great danger of extermination of the species will be incurred.We beliave that the present requirement, that the the nets shall be raised from Saturday evening till Monday morning, affords inadequate opportunity for a fair proportion of tne fish to safely reach their spawning grounds.Considering the great extent of shore line along which the perfected net appliances now in use are set, the proportion of fish which can escape them must be small.This is sufficiently proved by the fact, observed by all anglers, that a large percentage of the salmon which reach fresh water are disfigured and scarred from contact with the nets from which they have escaped.We therefore respectfully petition that all salmon nets and traps be hersafter raised during three successive days and nights of each week, which shall be tha same stated three days and three nights for all nets.We believe that the ultimate interests of the net fishermen (by whom alone 09- jection would be offered) would not in reality be prejudiced\u2014should our petition be granted.Eventually they must be actually benefited by allowing a larger number of fish to cast their spawn end thus increase the now diminishing supply.We beg your attention to the fact that anglers pay liberally for their fishing privileges, and are compelled ta guard and protect the salmon whilst in fresh water, and in consequence of the very small proportion of salmon taken by anglers, and compared with the large numbers taken by net-fishermen, ws believe we are entitled to a mors ravor- able consideration.In presenting this petition, we submit therefore that we ask nothing but what coincides with the interests of the government, as seeking the greatest good to the community it renressnts, god nothing more than a fairer division of t:: time between netters and auglers.Aud we respectfully pray thst ur petition be grauted for the common mutt of all concerned.Ed As

Ward\u2014Ald, Prefontaine\u2019s Excuse, \u2014_\u2014_ The sentiments expressed at the conference which took place yesterday between ex-Ald.Rolland'and his: friends, held in one of the,ante rooms of the City Hall, must have afforded great gratification to the feelings of the late chairman of tne Fimance Committee.Amongst those present were Ald.Clendinne: Villeneuve, Wilson, Conroy, Griffin, Nolan, McBride, Stevenson, Robert Cunningham, Thompson, Hurteau, Savignac, Prefontaine, P.Kennedy,Lamarche, Farrell, Perrault, Boisseau, The chair was taken by Ald.Griffin, acting mayor, who announced that Ald.Sborey had expressed his willingness to resign in favor of Mr.Rolland.Mr.Rolland then mentioned that the day after the elections he received a telephone message from Ald.Bhorey\u2019s son offering his tather\u2019s seat, He called on Ald.Shorey at hie residence and he received Ald, Bhorey\u2019s resignation.It was for an English ward and he felt that a great compliment was being paid him, There were many difficulties in the way.Suppose the same people who fought hiw iu Hochelaga were to do the same thivg in St.Antoine?Then, again, all the committees would be formed and itwould be hard to ask amy of the members to resign for him.He thanked them kindly for the consideration they had shown him during his long term.They might thik that he was hard at times, but his heart was not; he had only been hard in the city\u2019s interest .Ald.Clendinneng declared it of the utmost importance that Ald.Rolland\u2019s services be retained.If certain unfortunate circumstances had led to his defeat that was beyond the control of members.He considered it very important for Mr, Rolland to retain his post as Chairman of Finance, He draw attention to Ald.Rolland\u2019s faithful services and conciliatory manner of dealing with difficult questions.For himself be anticipated no difficulty whatever in the way of Ald.Rolland\u2019s election.(Hear, hear.) There was enough patriotism in St.Antoine ward and appreciation of services rendered to remove any diffi culty.The people of the ward were not a bit more interested than those of the other wards ; they were, however, a big taxpaying ward, and would feel in g degree safe if a man like Ald.Rolland was at the head of affairs to protect their interest.It was expected, of course, that at the end of the year, when Ald.Shorey\u2019s term expired, Ald.Rolland would be ready to give up the seat, He fels sure that in saying what he had, he re-echoed the sentiments of all the electors, except perbaps, a few in Hochelaga.(Laughter.) He hoped Ald.Rolland woald decide to accept.All the press were in his favor.(Hear, hear!) Ald.Villeneuve=* Ex-Ald.Rolland should reel flattered at the honor offered him\u2014\" \u201cYes, yes,\u201d interposed Mr.Roiland, \u201cNo man received more sympathy than he did,\u201d continued Ald.Villeneuve.\u201cToo much,\u201d said Mr.Rolland.Ald.Villeneuve \u2014\u201cIt is a compliment when such a big ward comes and offers him a seat.I am gurprised that after 20 years\u2019 service to Hochelaga he should be defeated by suchan accusation.But then such prominent men as Carter and Sir John Macdonald and other big men have all tasted defeat.I think he should accept for the year and then we may get another seat by that time if he desires te Ald.McBride\u2014\"We are not here to sympathize with Mr.Rolland, but with the city, (Hear, hear.) Iam willing to resign my seat in the west ward, which is composed of business men who, I am sure, would return him.\u201d Ald.Wilson\u2014\u201cWe are obliged to Ald.McBride but we cannot lose him any more than Mr.Rolland.There is a wide feeling of regret all over the city.Asa representative of St.Antoine ward he would say thers was universal regret and a universal willinguess to elect Mr.Rolland for one year, and he could be elected by acclamation and the ward would be honoring herself and him by returning such an old and faithful servant to the public.\u201d Ald.McBride : \u201cWork the West Ward and you are sure of election by acclamation.Ald.Stevenson was sure there were a good many regretted voting against Ald.Rolland.If the present offer was for a permanency, he would say \u201cNo,\u201d as the chairman of the Finance Committee had so much to do and had no time to look after sidewalks, etc.,and there were some people who did not care a snap about finances.They might try the East, Centre or West Wards next year.He bad no doubt that there would not be a dissenting voice and if there was any opposition it would be snuffed out, \u201cIs it deeirable to have Ald.Shorey\u2019s resignation accepted and get Ald, Rolland nominated ?\u201d Cries of carried.Ald.Prefontaine announced that the geat need not be vacant long.Forty-eight hours was long enough to give notice of an election.Mr.Rolland could be back ina week.Ald.Clendinneng, as an elector of St.Antoine ward, moved that Ald.Rolland be tendered a raquisition.Ald.Cunningham said the object of their being there was to sympathize with the loss of a good alderman.Ald.Thompson\u2014That\u2019s it, William.Ald.Stevenson\u2014Two good aldermen (meaning Ald, W, Kennedy, whom Ald.Cunningham had opposed).(Laughter.) Ald.Cunningham\u2014(Taking no notice) said everyone knew that he had done all in his power for Ald.Rolland.Ald.Stevenson\u2014And Ald.Kennedy ! {More laughter and more pretended 1n- difference on Ald.Cunningham\u2019s part.) Ald.Cunningham said he had been in Hocbelaga and apoken for Mr.Rolland, but did not suppose that one in ten understood what he said as he spoke in English.He accordingly didn\u2019t feel guilty on that score.He regretted that this meeting had not been private however.Ald.Thompson\u2014Why ?Ald, Robert\u2014ISs it because you want to resign in favor of Kennedy ?(More aughter.) Ad.Cunningham (still ignoring every reference to the contestin 8t, Lawrence ward) concluded by saying as a voter of St.Antoine ward he would do all in his power for Mr.Rolland, Then Ald.Thompson got up.\u201cSt.Gabriel is going to blow his trumpet now,\u201d said Ald.Stevenson.Ald.Thompson\u2014I represent the baby ward (laughter,) but I came here to tell Ald.Rolland that his friends ask him to accept the nomination.It is for him to say.Mr.Shorey has resigned in his favor, 1fhe accepts I say that all of us here will work for him all we are worth.(Great applause.) Ald, Wilson\u2014Let me put the question square to Ald.Rolland.Do you accept?(Hear, hear!) Ald.Rolland said the compliment was a great one, but he wantad to hear from the 10,000 electors of St, Antoine ward.Some of thoee who had made opposition to him in Hochelaga were residents of St.Antoine.Ald, Villeneuve\u2014Surely they are not the same people.Ald.Thompson\u2014Let me tell Ald, Rolland that requisitions are being very largely signed for him.(Applause.) Ald.P.Kennedy\u2014It can\u2019t be possible that Hochelaga people are so bitter as to follow a man into another ward.Ald.Stevenson\u2014Don\u2019t mind them.They haven't the influence there, Ald.P.Kennedäy\u2014Let Ald.Rolland leave himself in the hands of the people of that ward.It willbe & great honor for him to represent so many Eoglish speaking people, It will not soon be for gotten, I'm sure.An influential elector who was present said he entirely approved of Ald.Rolland.He knew that a requisition was being signed and believed that a concen- sus of opinion was in favor of Ald.Rolland\u2019s acceptance for one year.Every one knew that a desperate attempt to get a French-Canadian representative in that ward had been made that vear and failed.Ald.Thompson\u2014From theswamp.The elector\u2014It was eouth of St.An- toine-street.The better sense of the ople there, bowever, prevailed.He Peheved a big requisition would be forthcoming in 48 hours for Ald.Rolland.Ald.Prefontaine said ne felt in a pretty awkward position.(Ald.Thompson\u2014I guess you do.) He had known a little of the way this opposition had been go: up.It was very hard for him to tell his own electors they had done wrong, but there was no doubt that they had not done what they should have dune.Ald.Stevenson\u2014That\u2019s next to it.Ald.Prefontaine said perbaps they had been misled, but they had acted ia good faith, and in a democratic country such defeats must be expected.This offer to Ald.Rolland was a great compliment, which the Frencb-Canadians would never forget.(Hear! hear!) It showed that in the city of Montreal prejudices supposed to exist did net exist, (Hear! bear!) This offer of the people was vouched for by the unanimous expressions of the press.Such an offer was a credit to Montreal aud the council must eo arrange as to accept it in good faith, Mr.Rolland getting the Finance Chairmanship again without any trouble.It would also be understood that no other French-Canadian was to have any pretensions in St.Antoine ward.He recommended Mr.Rolland putting himself in the electors\u2019 hands, If he did so at once they could have an élection with= in ten days from Monday next.Ald.Hurteau then expressed sorrow at Mr.Rolland\u2019s defeat and offered to retire in his favor in St, James ward.He believed the electors there would support Mr.Rolland.Personally, he would do all he could in St.James ward to elect him.(Hear, hear.) Ald.Lamarche objected to Ald.Hur- teau retiring.He himself offered to resign as a younger member from St.James ward, (Ap.lause.) He felt the defeat of Mr.Rolland in Hochelaga keenly.Ald.Stevenson ( joking)\u2014 Send in your resignation, .Ald.Lamarche\u2014I\"ll do it at once.Ald, P.Kennedy said Ald.Rolland found he bad lots of friends, He had better accept.\u201cIf St.Antoine Ward didn\u2019t intend to give you the seat, Rol land,\u201d he said, \u201cthey wouldn\u2019t offer it to you.\u201d (Applause.) .Ald.Rolland still asking for a requisition before accepting, it was decided to canvass St.Antoine Ward for signatures to a petition and to meet to present the requisition to Mr.Rolland on Saturday afternoon at 3 o\u2019clock.\u2014\u2014\u2014\"\u2014\u2014\" ANOTHER SERIOUS FIRH.Good Work Done by Firemen\u2014Valuable Property saved by Their Prompt Efforts, Through the prompt work of the Montreal fire brigade what probably would have proved a disastrous conflagration was nipped in the bud last evening.At 10 o\u2019clock Constable Mugford, on duty on St.Paul-street, noticed smoke issuing from the top window of the building Nos.38, 40 and 42.Jacques Cartier-square, which he found \u2018o be on fire, He at once rung in an alarm from box 243.Or course the firemen were quickly on band, but quick though they were, by the time they arrived flames were issuing from the roof and all the upper windows, at once showing them that they had to deal with a serious outbreak.The reel from No.1 station was first at the scone,and without waiting on the ladders they ran a line of hose through the building, thus haying the honor of first water.No.2 reel men entering from St.Vincent-street soon came to their assistance, and these two were followed by straaias from reels 7,8,5 and 8 in the order named.The \u201cDorval\u201d extension ladder was run up on the square and from this men of the three last named divisions worked.Chief Benoit and Sub-Chisf Jackson had the management of the fire and under their able direction the flames were quickly under control and after an hour and a half of good work it was completely extinguished, although the Skinper ladder crew had to work a couple of hours longer 1n tearing down the ceiling and making everything safe.The origin of the fire is at present a mystery.It started in the top flat of the building occupied by Messrs, Berthiaum and Sabourin, printers, and proprietors and publishers of Le Monde Illustre.In the centre of the roof of the building was a large skyhght, which broken by the heat gave free vent to the flames, which according to Sub-Chief Jackson, stopped tbe flames from spreading through the building thus preventing a far more serious fire.Messrs.Berthiaum and Sabourin are heavy losers by the fire as besides their stock their six presses and other plant are almost completely destroyed.The loss to the firm will probably amount to $5000 to $10,000.While working on this flat firemen George Benoit and Etienne of No.1 had & narrow escape,through the fall os some red bot shafting, from serious if not fatal injuries.J The tbird flat was occupied as a factory by Messrs.Alain and Catelli, cardboard and playing card manufac- urers.The firm suffera very severely, as their entire stock is damaged, if not destroyed, principally by water.Mr.Catelli stated that his loss woull cer ainly reach, if it did not exceed, $10,000, On the ground flat the store No.38 was occupied by Messrs, Dupuy & Co., importers of seeds.They too loose heavily, as the stock is almost completely ruined by water notwithstanding the fact that the men of No, 2 Salvage Corps spread some 50 covers.The store No.42 was occupied by Alderman elect A.L.Hurtubise & Cr, wholesale grain and provisions.Owing tothe good work of the salvage men } their valuable stock is nearly unharmed.Although all the firms are fully covered against loss by insurance, it was impossible last night to ascertaun the names of the companies interested.The steam fire engines were not required, owing to the capital water supply.; Fireman John Endicotte, of the Skinner ladder, was seve:ely cut in the face by falling glass.The police, under Sergeant Soulieres, lent a valuable assistance in keeping back the crowde.ee.ELBOTION BCHOBS, Charges of Bribery and Corruption Stoutly Denied.Mr.Dickson Anderson has declared under oath, before Mr.T.Doucet, à coms missioner of the Superior Court, that he consented to become a candidate upon a requisition duly made by qualified voters, without reference to, or understanding come to, with any other cane didate in any manner whatever.That the insinuation that he agread or acted in concert with one of the other candidates, with a view to dividing the votes, 18 wholly and absolutely false.That no agreement or understanding of any nature was made by himself or any of his supporters or representatives, etc.Mr.Anderson, in conversation yess terday, denied that he arranged ior any sleighs on Sunday last.Ald.Griffin was seen yesterday cons cerning the rumor that he had worked for Mr.James in the late contest in St.Lawe 1ence ward, although he had signed ex- Ald.Kennedy\u2019s requigition.Ald.Griffia said that the repor} was false.He hai done what be could for Mr.Kennedy, and that gentleman had admittsd as much to him in Mr.Carson's presence.The rumor might possibly have arisen from the fact that he had advised one man who bad told he could not, vote for Mr.Kennedy, to vote for Mr.James, The formal proceodings to have Mr.James\u2019 election declured null and void and the seat in the City Couneil for St, Lawrence ward given to ex-Alderman Kennedy, were instituted in the civil courte yesterday morning.The petition, which is in the form of à requete libe]- lee, was presented before Judge Davidson, in chambers, by Mr.R.C.Smith, ia the name of Mr.Alexander Peden, agent and elector in the ward.The petition and affidavit set forth the disqualification of Mr.James as not being the owner of real estate to the extent of $2000 during the six months preceding the nomination, and says that, as Mr, Kennedy, got a large majority over the votes given for the other candidate, Mr Anderson, and being duly qualified, he be declared elected in the place of Mr James, disqualified.The judge ordered the writ to issue, More Sympathy for Mr, Rolland.La Minerye publishes the following?\u201cThe numerous and distinguished ex- pregsions of sympathy received by Mr, Rolland since his defeat are ihe greatest tribute that could be paid to his record.We trust that Mr.Rolland will accept the seat offered him by other wards whose representatives would feel happy to stand aside in order to secure for hum a place in the council.\u201d A delegation of voters from Hochelaga Ward consisting of Messrs, A.Collin, A.G.Richard, W.G.McDonald, P.Rat- ferty, Jos.Chartier, LE.Benoit, A.Te- trault, J.B.Zappe, À.Labelle and J, B, Tremblay ,waited on ex-Ald.Rolland yesterday morning, and urged him to accept the requisition from St.Antoine Ward, They stated that his opponents were ace cusing him now of being sold to the English, but not to take any notice of such nonsense.They need him to watch the finances of the city.The difficulties which appear to have arisen among the members of the directorate of the Montreal Exposition Company are evidently not yet settled, The latest moye has been taken iu the name cf Mr.Fred.R.Alley, in whose behalf Mr.Norman T.Rielle has taken ont & writ of quo warranto, addressed to Mr, T.A.Trenholme.The petitioner asserts that Mr.Trenholme is not qualified to sit as a director of that company, as he does not possess any of its stock personally, and he asks the court to declare hig election void and to put in his place Dr, McEacbran, who received the largest number of votes next to the directors now in office.Mr.Alley specially reserves his right besides to contest the legality of the election of any of the directors and officers of the Montreal Exhibition Come pany.Mr.Alley wishes it to be stated that he- wants everything done in a business like manner and does not in any way cast any reflection upon the directorate of the exposition, \u2014\u2014 If you are troubled with hawking and spitting, dull headaches, losing sense of taste or smell, you are afflicted with catarrh, and.to prevent it developing into consuæption, Nasal Balm should be used promptly.There i8 no case of catarrh which it will notcure,and for cold in the head it gives Immediate re- ilef, Try it.Alldealers.ee Just Fancy Here ig a cigar, the Hero;
