only because of the subject matter under discussion, but because it was really Sir Hector Langevin\u2019a debut as\u2018an independent member, and because it showed pretty plainly that the ex- minister does not propose to abandon his watcbfulness over the intersts of his province, even though he has been deposed trom office.The fallen chieftain was in good voice, but there was something sad about his position, wbich onlookers felt perhaps asmuch as he did.A year ago he held one of the most responsible positions in the Government; to-day he is only a private member bereft of his mighty influence and of much of the respect which formerly attached to him.Sir Hector was listened to attentively and elicited replies from both Mr, Dewdrey and Sir John Thompson, in which be was promised that his province would be done justice to, but the feature ofthe afternoon was the speech of Hen.David Mills.If was a splendid array of unauswerable, historical and constitntior.al fu.ty; such wo Sow living men could master and only one could deliver without notes or preparations.Steamboat Inspection Amendments Hon.Mr.Tupper intreduced à bili to amend the steamboat inspection act, intended to cover cases of vessels propelled by electricity, naphtha and other motive power, to prevent the necessity of i .- t pectors meeting every year, to ame.d the law in reference to life saving appliance on steamboats and to provide for the imposition of a fee for inspection.The bil wus read a firet time.Sir Hector\u2019s First Speech.tir Hector Langevin moved for copiss of all correspondence, etc,, respecting the Northwestern, Northern and Eastern boundaries of Quebec during the last five years.He reviewed the history of the dispute respecting these boundaries, referring to a debate in 1889, when the settlement of the Ontario boundary dispute was made, and recalling his own statement, when a Minister, respecting the negotiations between the Domin on and Quebec Province and his assurance that the interests of Quebec would rot be neglected.About the Boundary Question, During the recess of 1889 he wag entrusted by the Government with the task of receiving delegates from the Proyince.The difficulty was not about western boundary; that was settled by the ; constitutional act of 1791.The dispute arose over other boundaries.Bir Hector's speech was largely technical, but he strongly urged the contention of Quebec that tne boundary should not follow the fifty-second parallel of latitude, but that instead the line of East Main River and thence the height of Jard should be adopted as far as pose sible.He hoped the Government would, during the session, bring down a resolution settling the matter and asked the House to pass an address to the Queen ewking for Imyjerial lezislation.James Bay Badly Located, Hon.E.Dewdney promised to bring down the correspondence as soon as pos~ sible, When the Quebec delegates waited upon the Federal Government, information reached him through the Geological Survey that there was a grave error in the location of the James Bay on the Hudson Bay charts, and he accordingly despatched Mr.William Ogilvie to investigate.He found that the northern line was some 40 or 50 miles out, but shat the southerly charts were about correct.Cannot be Conceded, Sir John Thompson regretted the absence of his Quebec colleagues who would have liked to speak upon the motion, He could not admit that the height of land was a proper boundary, which in fact had been departed from ®a the case of the Ontario boundary.Tae Quebec Legislature had passed a res lu.tion claimiug that the boundary should be the fifty-second parallel, bat whan the delegates came to Ottawa they made a furtter demand and insisted that East Muive River should be chosen.This would involve the cession of territory to the Province of Qu bec far bevond what they had a right to.He regreted that the demand could not be conceded, but ibe ntores's of Quebec would be pro- ected, The Case of Ontario, Hon Mr Mills went at some length into the history of all boundary disputes since England and France had possession of this continent, He could not admit that Ontario wes enlarged by the decision of the Privy Council.On the contrary it was greatly restricted by that judgment.It bad never been admitted that a height of land could be a natural boundary.He took opportunity to twit Sir Hector upon his former opposition to the just claims of Ontario, The position of the Liberal party was very different from that of Sir Hector Langevin and his colleagues, who sought to deprive Ontario of the territory which rightly belonged to them.Ontario did not want to see Quebec get anything but justice.The House was not in a position to accept the proposition for a settlement.The interests of Quebec would not suffer by delay, and he cou.d assure Mr: Langevin that On- tsrio would not take its revenge upon Quebec for the wrong attempted to be aune it.The motion was carried.Mr.McMullen was told that the auditor general\u2019s report would soon be pre sented, and tne House adjourned at 4:15 p.m.The ( nese Question, Re urns presented to-day show that 2657 Chinese entered the Dominion be- Jan.1, 1890 and June 30, 1891, while 1140 return certificates were paid during tLe same period.It algo turows an interesting hight upon one phase of Canada\u2019s relations to the United States.On Nov.13, 1890, Lord Knutsford wrote to the Governor-General &sking for the opinion ofthe Canadian Government upon the request of the United States Government for negotiations to, if possible, prevent the emigration of Chinese from Canada to the States, No answer was evidently sent, for a month later Lord XKnateford repaæated his request, but it was not until April 15, 1891, that a sub-committee of the Canadian Privy Council reported the matter.They pointed out that it was not possible to apply effective protection along a frontier line of 3500 miles, and that no practical way existed by wnich effact could be given to the request.Moreover, it was pointed out that no Canadian law existed by virtue of which restraint could be placed upon Chinese residents in Canada, (0 fetter the freedom of movement any more than upon auy other foreigner.Dalton McCarthy.s Views.Dalton McCarthy, M.P., was in his seat to-day for the first time, He has not yet decided to reintroduce bis separate echool and dual language bill this year.In his opinion Tuesday\u2019s elections show a very healthy state of opinion in Quebec, and indicate a very high order of intcliigence on the part of the electorate.The decision was more gratifying to him, because it had been rendered in spite of appeals to race and religious prejudices, and he hoped the Quebec members would show themselves as liberally minded when he again brought his proposals before them.The Imperial Privy Coupcil will be asked on Satardsy nex: for leave to appeal in the Manitoba school cases from the judgment of the Supreme Court.If it is granted, Mr, McCarthy will go to England next summer, to argue the case on bebalf of Manitoba.Don\u2019t Amount to Much, None of those members of the Commons who are generally regarded as the representatives of the temperance or- garizations will express an opinion as to the personel of the prohibtiion commis sion.They were not sufficiently acquainted with the gentlemen se(ected to know whether they would be acc-ptable to the temperance peope but as ihe Pominion alliance and kindred organizations had already declared that they did not expect much from the commission it was not possible ibat it could do any barm.The general opinion was that the commission will bring in a report laying special stress upon the immense loss of revenue which would result from prohibition and referring to facts which are already well known.In will be of no practical benefit and can achive no results of importance.The Canal Tells Rebate, Half a dozen deputations were in town tc-day and interviewed the Government.The most important to Montreal was that of the Canadian Marine Association who came in force, bound to let the Government know their opinion upon the proposal to allow a rebate in canal tolls upon grain transhipped at Ozdens- burg destined to Montreal.They met Premier Abbott, Sir John Thompson and Messrs.Bowell and Tupper in the Privy Couneil Chamber at noon.There were : M.Campbeii, Geo.Richardson, John Kingborn, P, O'Connor, J.Mucklestoze, Kingston; Barlow Cumberland, W.A.Gellies, M.McLaughlin, Toronto; Capt.J.B.Fairgrieve, K.A, McKay and A.T.Freed, Hamilton, and D.G.Thompson, of the Montreal Forwarding Company, Montreal.The delegates protested most strongly against any rebate being allowed on grain tran- shipped at Ogdensburg on the ground that it would hand over the whole carrying trade of the lakes and especially of tbe CanadianNorthwest toAmerican bottoms.They did not get as much satisfaction as they expected.\u201cI don\u2019t know whether it was the recent visit to Washington or What it was,\u201d said one of the deputation.Inspection act in reference to the grindirg of flour, The association is also seeking incorporation under a Dominion charter.The delegates f.el very strongly upon the Newfoundland question and came to Ottawa determined to let the Government know thelr views, but an intimation reached them that a public expression of opinion just now would be inadvisable, so the projected interview with the Premisr was abandoned, she Canadian Inland Fishermen's Aseociation want batcheries established on the inland lakes and the abolition of the close seasons.Petitions for private bills were presented to-day from the Montreal Board of Trade and the Alberta Railway and Coal Company for amendments to their charters, but the Government seems to have changed its mind upon this subject since last year, lfthey give Americans this rebate then the sooner we all go over to Washington the better.The delegates also urged the advisability Continued en Page Fight, b fact it was believed that the commission | regent: Capt.John Gaskin, F.N.Gib ba, LATE CABLE NEWS Hard Usage of Some

Arranged Between France and the United States\u2014The Deacon Scandal in France\u2014The Unfaithfulness of Mrs.Deacen Conclusively Found Out, BY CABLE TO THE HERALD, Lonpox, March 10\u2014A story has reached here, that has caused many expressions of deep indignation by the English papers.To the westward of county Mayo, Ireland, there lies in the Atlantic a small patch of land knowa as Clare Island.The inhabitants are mostly fishermen, and are miserably poor.A number of them ran into debt, and their creditors took proceedings against them and sent bailiffs to seize the few cattle owned by the debtors to satisfy the claims against them.The islanders resisted the bailiffs, and as a result 80 of them were summoned to answer at Louisburg,the nearest town on the mainland in County Mayo, for resisting the officers of the law.Appeared Almost Starved, The 80 islanders obeyed the summons and presented themselves before the magistrate.They all appeared to be in a starving condition and their thin garments afforded them little protection from the imclement weather.The magistrate listened to the testimony of the bailiffs and then calmly ordered that the further hearing of the case be held the next day at the Court house in West- port, 13 miles distant.To reach Wesport in time for the hearing it was necessary for the islauders to start that night.They had no money to pay for conveyances and were compelled to walk the entire distance over à road that is none too good in fine weather.Caught in a Storm, That night a blinding snowstorm set in.The road runs alongside the ocean, and the poor people stumbling along n the darkners were exposed to the full fury of a stinging gale that swept inland frem the sea.Many of the poorly clad islavders, weakened by their long abstinence from nourishing food, fell by the road side unable to proceed and would have perished had it not been for the kind hearted villagers along the route who, when they learned of their sufferings, went to their assistance and succoured them with food and shelter Of the women in the pany not a single one had strength enough to drag her weary limbs to Westport.They Appear In the Court, The men who reached the town at once procedded to the court house and presented themselves before the Magistrates there sitting to hear the case, Many of the islanders were almost completely exhausted by their long and toilsome journey and all of them were famished and half frozen, \u2018When the magistrates learned that all the persons summoned were not present, they were incensed at what they were pleased to term disrespect for the law.They held forth at great length opon the strong arm of the law and how all rich and poor alike were amenable to its provisions.Fine Words for Starved Men, Then they gpoke of the great goodness ofthe crown, how it tempered justice with mercy, and after dwelling upon this subject tothe painful ediflcation of the shivering wretches before them,they announced that as the defendants had pleaded guilty to the charge against them, the crown would extend its clemency to them, The court then orderad that the men be liberated upon giving bail for their good behavior.The despatch does not state whether tbe bailiffs demand was furnished, but the islanders were not known in West- port, as they having no value of their own the probabilities are that the bonds were not furnished, Troubles on the Frontier, .Loxpox, March 10.\u2014A Calcu'ta despatch says there hag beer farther front.jer fighting in the Lusm, the Lusbai country, against the British.Four Sepoys have

QUARREL Opinions of Several Members OF THE CANADIAN HOUSE On the Present Attitude of Lord Salisbury IN THE BEHRING SEA DISPOTE: The United States Preparing Their Cruisers TO LOOK AFTER THE POACHERS.General Foster Confers With Secretary Tracy, Presumably on the Above Ques- tion\u2014The London Standard on the Jinge Policy of the Americans\u2014Lord Salisbury - Not Likely to Give Any Heed.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.Otrawa, March 10,\u2014There was much diversity ofopinionhere among members of Parliament, regarding the attitude GreatBritainhas taken in declining to ex- fend themodus vivendi in Behring Sea for an other year.Your correspondent has talked with several representatives on both sides of the House, and finds that while the Conservatives are inclined to support Lord Salisbury in his contention, the Liberals deprecate his refusal to renew the arrangement entered into last season.Justifies Lord Salisbury.One of the most prominent supporters of the Government, who objected to his name being used, said that Lord Salie- bury was perfectly justified in his refusal to continue the modus vivendi as it was clearly in the interests of the Alaska Company.The agreement entered into that the Alaska Company should be restricted to killing a specified number of seals last year had not been observed, the United States Government having failed to enforce the law limiting their catch.He did not believe, however, that the United States Government would resort to any course of hostility to Canada to resent Lord Salisbury\u2019s action.A Quarrel Would be Fatal, Dr.McMillan, Liberal, said that if the settlement of the Behring Sasa question cannot be arrived at now, the modus vivendi should be continued until the arbitrators are able to report.\u201cIt is better,\u201d he saia, \u201cto give and take than through impatience arouse an unfriendly feeling between Canada and the United States.We want to live on the best possible terms with our neighbors to the south, even if for a year the sealing industry may be suspended.It would be fatal to quarrel with the United States.\u201d Friendly Relations Should Continue, Mr.Allan, Liberal, contended that while the Behring Sea question is still a subject of arbitration, every possible conciliatory effort should be put forth to insure a continuance of friendly relations with the United States.A wrong step now, he said, might precipitate us into a quarrel with our neighbors, which Canada can 1il afford.A rupture pow with the United States would be the most lamentable thing that could happen us, and every effort should be put forward to avert it.Better to Yield a Little, Mr.McGregor, Liberal, said: \u201c We cannot afford to sacrifice our best interests at this moment when we are using our every endeavor to consolidate our commercial interests, It Would be far better to yield à little and extend the modus vivendi for another year whils the question is still the subject of arbitration than to arouse a feeling of hostility against Canada by refusing to agree to what seems reasonably fair.The admitted object of the arbitration ig to define the proprietory rights of the United States in Behring Sea, and to devise some joint arrangement for the protection of seal life from extinetion, It is therefore difficult to see what injury could accrue to Canada from the exten sion of the modus vivendi by which the protection to seal life is thereby cone tinued.\u201d Action in British (Columbia, Inthe British Columbia Legislature Finance Minister Turner has given notice of an address to the British Government praying that the modus vivendi be not extended, unless provision bs also made to recoup the sealers for any losges they may sustain owing to such extension, No Action for the Present, BY TELEGRAPH TO THE THERALD.WasnmingroN, March 10,\u2014Inquiry at the various executive departments dealing with the question, elicits the information that the president will take no further action in regard to the Behring Sea matter until be shall have received a 1e- ply from Lord Salisbury to Mr.Whar-\" ton\u2019s note of March 8, insisting on a renewal of the modus vivendi of last year, as an essential condition to the settlement of the controversy by arbitration.Getting Their Cruisers Ready.BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERATD.San Fraxcisco, March 10.\u2014The anticipated activity in Behring Sea this summer has caused some stir at Mare Island.The Adams and Ranger a'e being made ready for duty as speedily as possible, The Albatross, which was preparing another sounding for the proposed Hawalian cable has been ordered to pored the ship is intended for duty in Northern seas.The cruisers Charlaston and Baltimora are still at Mare Ielard ready for service, American Officials in Conference, WASHINGTON, March 10.\u2014General J.W Foster, of the State Department, who ig assisting the President in the Behring Bea fisheries negotiations, had a long conference this afternoon with Secretary Tracy and Commodore Rameay, chief of the Bureau of Navigation.While 1t ig not pcssible to state positively what occurred at the conference, it is suid to be a safe assumption that it related solely to the consideration of the course to be pursued by the navy in enforcing the contention of the Government, that present sealing in Behring Sea shonld be wholly suspended pending the settlement by arbitration of the controversy between the United States and Great Britain.Although there is no cart:iaty that Great Britain wi 1 not co-operate in tbe work of keeping sealing vessels 01t of the sea, the well known objection of that Government to the clos'ng of the sealing vessels of Canada juatifies, it is said, the alleged assumption oa ths part of the Government, that of the sea 18 to be patrolled altogether by our own navy and revenue vessels, It is therefore inferred that tc-day\u2019s conferenca related solely to the best method of performing this service in the event that Great Britain declines the Presidens3 proposition of the 8th inst.for a prompt renewal of the modus vivendi.It is asserted in some quarters that the navy department is now well prepared to enforce such, providing there is no resistance on the part of the British Government.A disposition by that Gove ernment to resist any interference with merchant vessels sailing its flag desiring to enter Behring Sea would, however, put an entirely different phase on the question.In the event that this Goverrd ment adheres to its policy of last year it will send all the available vessels at its command te Behring Sea soon enough, if possible, to control all its apprcaches end present the entrance of all sealing vessels, American as well as others.Lord Salisbury\u2019s Attitude, BY CABLETO THE HERALD, Loxnox, March 10.\u2014The Standard commenting on the Bebring Sea question says: \u201cWe cannot help thinking that President Harrison is trading over much on our past amiability.The Wharton message completely misrepresents the attitude and argument of Lord Salisbury, besides begging the whole question in dispute.The suggestion that England would only be too glad if the arbitration was abandoned is too ridiculous to be discussed, Lord Salisbury is bound to protect English rights as far as he is able and it is just to do s0, and we must assure our friends in America in all good bumor that no amount of browbeating is likely to force him into abandoning that responsibility.\u201d SOUTH PERTH ELECTION, Mr, James Trow, the WellJKnown Libera} Whip Defeated, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, 8r.Mary's,

hereafter no association of tha A.A.U.be allowed to recognizs any league or association of clubs within its jurisdiction ot territory.After discuesion of the proposal to create new associations for Long Island, \u2018Western and Northern divisions, it was resolved that, in view of advices from prominent clubs situated in the proposed new districts objecting t\u201d such an arrangement, the board does not think it advisable to recommend any amendment forming new associations, but recommend that clause E., article 4, of the constitution be amended to read : In the event of four-fifths of the

prospect that the new centre board racer de- sigred by Watson, and now building in Henderson\u2019s yard en the Clyde at Glasgow, will be a contestant for the America Cup.The name of the owner is suppressed for the present, though it may turn out to be Col.North\u2019a son Harry, wWho has for a year or two cherished a pet project of bringing a yacht to America to race.Everything will depend, of course, upon the record the new centre board makes against the crack British cutters the coming season.The designer of this new yacht designed the I'nistle, and gained through her failure the kaowledge that it is impossible to baat an American centre board with a keel yacht.This new centre board is the present bete noire of racing owners, and will be the dark horse of 1892, The phenomenal success of Dora, a 10-rater centreboard in Clyde last eum- mer, bas confirmed Mr.Watsun, her designer, in the opinion thatin all classes of yachts, at least above five-rators, a ceutreboard is a great advantage, and this rew 40-rater centreboard is the outcome of that conviction.But Dora, as the first of the Clyde centreboards, was more or lass experimental, and the new 40-rater presents even in her present outline a considerable variation on Dora With some more beam than any keel culter of 40-rating, this now cutter, of course, is fuller and b+s à reunder bilge, and her bow ani stern are in consequence remcdelled with rounder lines.But her floor shows more rise than Dora, and she is altogether a sweeter boat.ce THE WHEEL, Champion Willle Windle Joins the Cherry Diamonds, New York, March

their riders will go abroat this year.It is understood that Wiadle will shortly go into training, an1 compete in all the big meets this year.Ottawa Bicycle Club Meeting, The annual meeting of the

Official Referees, Nxw Yorx, March 10.\u2014One of the first questions that will come before the new Racing Board of the League of American Wheelmen will be the advisability of appointing an official referee in all the State divisions to serve at the various race mests.The idea has been suggested through the inability of tournament mansgers to secure competent men to officiate.The idea has come up before the Pennsylvania division, and has been favorably received.The New York state division also has the idea under consideration.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 RING, Peter Maher Gives an Excuse For His Defeat by Fitzsimmons, PrILADELPEIA, March 10.\u2014Peter Maher was seen this morning in the northern part of the city, where, it 1s said, he has purchaeed a house and intends to make 1t his permanent residenca.The Irish champion wes neatly dressed, seemed to be in good spirits and showed but little effects of his late fight in New Orleans.In speaking about the battle, however, there was considerable bittsrness in his speech.\u201cWhy.\u201d said he, \u201cthey wou'dn\u2019t let me put on the gloves until I stepped in the ring and faced Fitzsimmons.It was a put-up scheme from toe start, and I was made a dupe.\u201clil meet Fitzsimmons again at aay time for a purse.I have no feeling against him.He :8 à nice, gentlemanly fellow, but I want to get at him again.\u201cThe fight was fair enough, as far as it went, but I was outclassed, and had not the slightest idea of Fitzsimmons\u2019 way of fighting, As soon as we began the mill I saw that he was very shifty, Children cry for and that I had a very hard man to deal with, You see, when I was in training it was pure fighting, no gloves, no sparring.My lack of accurate sparring tactics placed me at once at great disadvantage, Fitzsimmons soon perceived that and rushed at me with a terrific onslaught of sparring blows.1 Besides all tk \u2018Besides all this, I wasnot in proper health and condition to fight when I dia.My training was poor,to use a mild term.1 honeastly believe that with first- cless training and good physical condition I could whip Fitzsimmons, and easily at that.\u201d Referring to the intense despondency which has been attributed to him,Maher - said that he naturally felt blue over the result.\u2018But I'll tell ye, me lad, it's not 80 despondent it is over the fight I am, 86 it is over the mean way I have been sured, There will be a day of reckoning yet.News From New Orleans, NEw UrLEANS March 10.\u2014The Olympic Club has forwarded the preliminary articles of agreement to Sullivan and Mitchell for the $25.000 fight to take place this fall.But, to make assurance doubly sure, the club will send on Capt.Williams, the club\u2019s matchmaker, this week to see tze two men and, if possible, complete negotiations.It is probable, therefcre, that all the terms will be ar- rarged within a week, Fitzs'mmons, who is here, is very anxious to meet Ted Pritchard, but thinks it wculd be well to postpone the affair uvtil next Mardi Gras.The Sullivan- Mitchell fight coming in the fall, it would be unwise, he says, to have another fight #0 close upon i's heels.The objection to a fight In ten weeks is that it would fal during the hot season and when so many persons are out of town.Fitzsimmons and Carroll give a sparring exhibition here on Thursday, and leave for New York on Saturday.Fitz- simmons wantis to give a\u2018performance in New York tor Maher's benefit.At present Fitz ig suffering from rheumatism and a sprained thumb.Buffalo Also Offers a Purse, BurraLo, March

the Bank of Nevada at San Francisco into the professional pugilistic arena, after a series of amateur perfotmances on the Pacific coast, where he met and vanquished some good men, is about to figure again in the ring.When Sullivan\u2019s sweeping challenge to all the world, inclading Corbett, was published, Corbett promptly accepted the offer and posted his forfeit as an evidence of his wi lingness to fight Sullivan for a big purse and $10,000 a side.Joe Lannon of this city, who has had agood deal to say about his last meeting with Corbett, has been met with equal promptness.Corbett has sent him an offer to fight bim at any time or place and for any amount, and has also offered to meet him fur three or six rounds and bet him $1,000 that he will best him in that time.The latter offer Lannon has accepted.The bout will take place nextWednesday night at Music Hall.Lannon has already begun fo get into shape, and has reduced his weight 17 pounds.Corbett, who is one of the cleverest and

in this city, where his previous visits as a member of a theatrical company have made him well known as a clever boxer and genial gentleman, Open to Fight, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, NEw York, Maren

HEKALD.OrTawa, March 10.\u2014Charlie Mitchell, ot London, and Frank P.Slavin, the Australian, gave a four round sparring exhibition, at the Opera House here tonight.It was appreciated by the 500 spectators present, and both pogilists received liberal applause, as thev retired from the stage.Slavin's appearance greatly surprised Ottawa's sports.They expected to see a great big beefy fellow like John L Sullivan, but, instead, they saw a solid broad shouldered well built athlete.There 1s not à particle of super- fiuous flesh on his body, although he has an extra long reach; still he made very little use of it while sparring with Mitchell.His short arm work however, was particularly noticeable.Mitchell looked as slick as a whistle.He is just a shade on the beefy side bat never the less is a better built man than the Australian.He lacks a few inches in height and thats all.The set-to was a very good one, it had not the appsar- ance cf à hy podrome and the leads and counters made by the pugilista were strong and quick.To the Berald correspondent, Mitchell said he thought his match with Sullivan for twenty five thousand dollars a side would be arranged within twenty four houra.That is, of course,\u201d he continued, \u201cIf the big Bostonian means business I bave given bim every thing his own way.He can name the purse, the battle ground and referee if he likes and I will agree to fight him, There is only one thing for Sullivan to do now, concluded the Englishman, let him sign articles that willsnit him best and then send them to me I will guarantee to return them with my name inscribed alongside of his.Slavin and Mitchell retarned toToronto this evening.Thoy were only four hours in the city, and during that short stay thev were greeted by handrads of admirers.They will appear in Montreal «n Wedneeday next.Sullivan's Money is Up.BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD, New York, March 10.\u2014Jim Wakely this afternoon deposited $2500 wita George Deckinsor, of

Fraxcrsco, March 10.\u2014Dr.North- fleet, surgeon of the Mcn:cacy, who knw the Hetheringtons well, explains the singu'ar conduct of tha Lieutenant's wif by the ssgertion that the woman was vain, fond of admiration, and had no common sense.He ssid: \u201cOn the voyage \u2018rom Sau Francisco to China she cau£ed much gossip by her flirtations, and when she reached Yoko- hams, she at once set tongues wagging by ner indiscreet conduct.She was easily the prettiest woman in the foreign colony at Yokohama, but those who kniw her best suid sbe had no heart and flirted merely for amusement, and the sequel proved that they were correct.\u201cFrom the first day of her stay in the Grand Hot-1 she seemed to lay harsetf out to faccinae Yokohama, Sne woatt glance avout the different tables a dinner tim, ogling the men and smili g with » selleconsciousness that amused m- st of the wen whom she made hr target.At dinners and balls s:6 wou d flat desperately, aod her light shri} laughter could be Leard in the piazza and conservatories at almost all hoarse, While ter husbaud was aboard te Marion she took lunchéous and « inuers with Gower Robinson and wasnt riding with bio: in hs drag.\u201c Hetberington finally had his eyes opened on New Ye:r's eve at a ball, when he discovered his wite and Rob n- son in a lover-like attitude in a sscluaed corner.Robinson left town, but he was injudicious enough to write to Mra.Hetuerington sose very tender letters, and tbese she carelessly let fall into her busband\u20198 possession.The latter related his double discovery to his Captain acd brother officers on the Marion and they persuaded him that his honor had been violated, and that the slight put upon him by Rooinson could only ke wiped out by blood.\u201cThe woman\u2019s silliness was plainly exemplified by her conduct after tue trageuy.She not only expressed no concern fur the occurrence, but actually desired to attend a ainner party giv-n oa Saturday evening, the day after the shooting and the day on which Robinson died.On the evening of this day Mrs.Hethericgion went to the wife of Admiral Belknap and said: \u201cMrs.Belknap, what shall I do aboat this dinner?You know the Judge (she always called her husband by this title) and I have been invited to the Russian Consul, ar d, of course, he can\u2019t go because he\u2019s in prison, but 1 don\u2019t see how I can get out of going myself.Don\u2019t you think l\u2019d better go ?\u201c\u201c \u2018Most certainly not,\u2019 exclaimed Mrs Belkuap, borrified at such a proposal.\u201cIt would perfectly indecent.\u2019§ \u201c\u2018I dont see why,\u2019 replied Mrs.Hetberington, tossing her head.\u201cThen I will explain to you; said Mrs.Belknap.\u2018Cau\u2019t yo+ understand that while vou and your husband are resting under the cloud of this terrible tragedy ir 18 better that you should keep yourself in the utmost privacy 7 \u201c\u2018Wby should 1?He killed Rabin.son, I gdidn\u2019u\u2019 \u201cAt which Mis.Belknap says she could not stand such nonsense any longer, but then and there made the foolish woman sit down and write a note of regret.Mrs.Belknap departed for the dinner, thinking everything was all right.Imagin» her horror when half through dinner, to see the fickle,goldeu-haired neaaty, Mrs.Hetherington come tripping in, clad in white tulle and diamonds, emilling and greeliug every ona with pretty speech, Bhe even remarked to one guest: \u201cYou know the judge has shot George ?' \u201cThe guests were shocked, and it was as if a wet blanket had fallen over the banquet board.The lady remained there till late and departed a8 happy as if nothing had happened to mar her salf- satistied tranquillity.\u201cMrs.Northfleet says Robinson's friends declare he returned to Yokoe hama with Hetherington\u2019s permissi no, given him by telegraph.Robinson from Kobe wrote many letters to Hethericg- ton, and received à reply by wire consenting to bis return.M.Pors, who was a bosom friend of Robinson, was in Kobe searching for this despatch wben the inquest adjourned in order to get his testin ony.\u201cThe feeling in Yokohama i3 bitter against t.e woman, for even the Americans say she was so reckless in flirtation that no wan should have bzea killed for her sake.The only criticism on Hether- ington is that he should have shot Robinson down like

PRINCESS DARINKA END OF THETRAGICLIFE OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, eet.Some Interesting News About European People and Doings fn the Gay Parl- sian Capital, \u2014\u2014 The Paris correspondent ot The New York Tribune writes that paper under date of Feb, 19 as follows : In a great melancholy palace washed by the waters of the Venetian lagoons, beautiful Princess Darinka of Montenegro bas just breathed her last.It is impossible to imagine a more poetical ap~ parition than this woman who, during the time of her short reign, was honored nay, almost worshipped as a saint, by her rough Montenegrinsubjects.A fow years ago; when I had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with the Princess, she was still one of the loveliest women whom it has been my fortune to meet.She looked so ethereal and spiritual that she reminded one of the portraits of saints in the leaves of an old missal, and the enthusiasm and adoration she had aroused in the breasts of her faithful mountaineers seemed but natural.Her marriage to Prince Danilo\u2014the first temporal sovereign of Montenegro, the country having previcusly been governed by Princes-Archbishops who wore the mitre instead of the princ ly crown\u2014was quite a romance.Hawd- some young Vladika Dan.lo lost his heart to the fair daughter of a wealthy Triestine merchant, Csuvikitch by name, and bearing down all objections to this unequal match by hig iron resolution, led the 15-year-old Darinka to the altar on Feb.12, 1859, The war between Turkey and Montenegro wad 1n its wane, but shortly ger the marriage of the Prince the host: were renewed with greater violence than ever, and the women of Montenegro caused a banmer to be embroidered in Ragusa, whereupon the exquisite features of the new Princess were.traced in silks and gold.\u201cShe will be our guiding saint in this holy war, and will lead our husbands on to victory,\u201d they said as they presented the banner to the sovereign.Onthe battlefield at Gra- hova, however, the flag was sorely torn by bullets, one of them piercing the little white hands crossed on the braast ot the image, and cutting in two the taper finger on which was the wedding ring.This was considered a very evil oman by the superstitious ontenegrias, who declared that it betokened Prince Danilo\u2019s speedy death.Tunis popular rediction was soon to be realized, for 1860, on August 13, as Danilo and his beloved consort were passing through Cattaro, on their way to Perzanio, the Prince was shot in the back by one Thoso Kadisch, a member of the Vladiken family of Radonik fame.The despair of the Princess can better be imagined than described.She prostrated herself over her dying husband\u2019s body and could hardly be separated from him even after he had expired.Her strength of mind and her soothing influence over the Montene- grins, nevertheless, prevented a revolution from breaking out, and it was owing to her energetic efforts that Prince Nikita, Panilo\u2019s nephew, was proclaimed without bloodshed as the ruler of the country.I well remember the day, when seated in the dimly lighted boudoir of her Venetian palace,the unfortunate princess related to me the tragedy of Cattaro.Coming from her lips, it was so impres- give and moving that i shuddered asI listened to her passionate words.A grand creature, indeed, was this woman, who for so many years had kept in her heart the remembrance of her murdered love as vividly as during the days when she was his own cherished wife! » Cruel indeed is the fate which has jus befallen the old Count de la Boussiniere who after having been sentenced t transportation as a political offender to the penal colony of Cayenne, at the tim» of the Coup d\u2019Etat, in 1851, and subse quently spending almost a quarter of century in poverty at Geneva, whsre h earned a precarious livelihood, was mos unexpectedly two years ago placed in possession of an enormous fortune Jeft by his childless eldeat brother, the Marquis de 1a Bous: iniere, and now is called upon to surrender everything, and to return once more to penury and misery, The old Marquis de la Boussiniere died at the beginning of 1838, leaving by testament all his possessions to his late wife\u2019s nephew and niece, the Comte and Comtesse Lancrau de Breon.Some time afterward M.Guyard, the notary of the Marquis, produced & more recent will, which he claimed to have discovered among some forgotten papers of his dead client, and which 1nalituted the latter\u2019s brother as universal legatee.The nephew and niece regarded this new will with suspicion, and contested its validity all the more, as they were aware that the Marquis had been on bad terms with his younger brother ever since 1850.The matter was brought before the courts, and the second and more recently discovered of the two wills was pronouuéed to be legal.This decision being confirmed by the Supreme Court of Appeal, the de Breons surrendered possession of the property to the Comte de la Boussiniere, who forthwith took up his residence at the Chateaa des Tilleuls.About a year afterward the Count began to receive anonymous letters stating that the will was a forgery, and that he was in no way entitled to his brothers fortune, He immediately placed the mafter in the hands of a clever lawyer, who succeeded in bringing about the arrest of the anonymous informant\u2014 a professional forger if I may be allowed the expression ~Carpentier by name.This man made revelations which led in tara to the arrest of M.Goyard, the notary at whose instigation Carpentier asserted that he had forged the will above mentioned.The perfect character of the forgery, which deceived not only the various tribunals to which it wae submitted, but Also the greatest caligraphic experts of the age, is due to the fact that Carpen- tier called to his assistance the science of photography, According to his own statement he first of all drafted the writing, and after correcting it in every letter until it attained perfection, he made a photograph of it which reproduced only the fiultless copy.Carpentier declares, moraover, that the object of the forgery wis to place in possession of the Boissi riere property à man whose tenura of the estate would be dependent on his g»o1 will and on that of his accomplice, M.Guyard, and whom they would, therefore, be able to blackmail.They misg- trok, however, the nature of them n whom tbey hoped to make their victim, and his conduet in placing the anonymous letters without delay in the hands of the autborities completely upset their plans.Universal sympathy is feltf r the Count, who will leave the Chateau des Tilleuls after a residence ct two | yenib, With the erjoyment of à magni- | ticent income, as poor as when be en- ; tered it, to resume his former life of privation at Geneva.A very remarkable womaa, Countess Alexandra Potocka, died a few days ago regretted by all who knew her.She left her enormous fortune to her nepuew, | Count Xavier Branicki, who is one of the best known mea in Paris, and whose superb house in the Avenue Friedland is the rendezvous of all tue finefleur of European aristocracy.Shortly before her death Cou.tess \u2019Xandra, as she was called by her iriends, gave away ] over & million rubles to charitable in- stitu.ions, both in France and Russia.During the last 40 years of her life ehe devoted herself to relieving the wan's and sufferings of the poor, and count- lees indeed are the tears Which she has dried, the miseries sha has alleviated by her clear-signted and intelligent generosity.Ia spite of the colossal sams thus spent, she leaves a fortune amounting to 50,000,000 rubles aud a collect on of absolutely priceless jewels, among which are rubies once belonging to John So- bieski, the conqueror of the Turks, and which have not their equals in the world.Her castle of Willanow, near Warsaw, which was once iuhabitated by Sobieski, is one of the marvels of bygone days.It contains many treasures of art, aud the private chapel 13 entirely paved with costly mosaics of lapis-lazuli, malachite and onyx.Over the altar is a painting by Murillo which alone is worth a King\u2019s ransom, and it is said that Count Branicki will have this gem brought to Paris in order to have it placed in his own private chapel.All visitors to tue French capital will be interested to hear that t.® morgue\u2014 this ignoble and sinister looking nulid- ing, which has so lung dishonored the admirable Church of Nstre Dame\u2014is going to be moved to some other quarter of the metropolis.It was in the year 1864 that Baron Haussmann insisted, for some incomprehensible purposs,'hat the morgue should be transfer ed from the Quai du Marche Neuf to 1ts present site, an unsafe one at best, for the Seine, when the waters are high, beats so persistently and violently against the base of the building that 1t has sapped the foundations, and at avy moment the entire structure may fall into the river.This house of death is a stain on one of the most interesting parts of Paris.It is ugly in every sense of the word, and disfigures one of tbe most admirable portions of the great Basilica.A commiesion has been selected to decide upon the new location of the morgue, which itis supposed will be ia the region of the Hotel Dieu.The coat of this welcome change will be, I am told, somewhere rear 3,000,000 francs, but will be cheap at the prics in the eyes of all lovers of aesthetics.The Margnise de Blocqueville has resumed her Monday evening receptions, and her salon, being almost the only oge where old traditions have been kept up, is crowded with the best and most brilliant people in the \u201c Faubourg.\u201d pr Grip, Misery, Woe,

\u20260a00 American Stock Markets.The New York World, 1n discussing the stock markets, says: \u201cThe stock market to-day presented a much firmer front and the bears wers correspondingly depressed.To their credit it may be said that they appreciated the significance of the change at a very early vour, and accordingly endeavored to get back some of the contracts which they bave been 80 eager to enter into on the short side for the past few cays.As usual, small operators displayed the greatest apxiety, and owing to the inquiry from this quarter opening prices of stocks in which the short interest is the heaviest were anywhere from 4 to 13 per cent.above yezterday's tinal figures, the latter in New England.London was primarily responsible for the change in sentiment, having purchased liberally of its specialties, It is estimated that the foreigners bought about 15,000 shares of Erie, St.Paul, Reading, Union Pacific and Louisville & Nashville.The lest named was favorably influenced by a report that the earnings for the first week of March will show an increase of about $140,000.This is eonsicered a high estimate acd a gain of halt the amount named would be extraordinary because of the large recaipta for the corresponding period in 1891.Probably the real cause for the advancs is the buying for foreign account which set in recently, and is based on the constant improvement in the earnings of the company.Bt.Paul was also taken for European account.In regard to the dividend it is claimed that nothing has been decidea upon, and foriher more, that nothing will be done in the matter until tbe directors meat tomorrow.Opinion is divided ag to the decision of the board, although conservatives agree that it would be a good thing for the property if the resumption of dividends be postponed until next autumn at least.The sirength of the anthracite coalers was the result of the circulat-on of a rumor that Attorney-General Hensel, of Pennsyivania, bad abandoned proceedings against the Reading in the now calebrated lease case.If was not confirmed, honexer, and probably grow ont of the report that a petition signed by the residents of th: Lebigh and Mabosey Valleys i

wire: Curcaco, March 10.\u2014~A burned child fears the fire.Owing to the steady tone in cables and the prospects of severe weather speculators went home last night on wheat.Early cables were higher and weather reports recorded lower temperature than expected, but the fact that this was the day that the first government crop report since Dac.would be issued, and that Mr.Dodges\u2019 figures bad frequently disappointed both buyers and sellers, after an early decline op longs liquide ting and a later rally on shorts coverirg, the market closed easy at } cent decline.There was plenty of bollish crop and expert news, but it was Mr.Dodge against the fleld, and the favorite won.Wheat in farmers hands 171,000,000 bushels.Corn and oats were quiet and features easier in anticipation of large arrivals later in the season ; sample lots for immediate shipment in light supply and wanted at former prices.Provisions opened steady to firm, but prices fell away with surrounding mar- els from lack of support more than from free offerings.A light business was done and tte market closed dull.Messre.Meredith and O\u2019Brien hare received the following over their direct wire: Cricaco, March 10.\u2014The tendency of the market and the causes which 1nflu- enced tte prices were problems difficult ofsolution.The cold wave, liberal buying for export yesterday led disinterested parties to believe that we would have a higher opening and a firmer market, at least a portion of the day, but it would seem that a large number of holders were Ilcoking for a hard spot on which to dispose of their holdings, and a number of Eastern speculators and some local, believing that we would have a very bearish Government rsport, backed their opinion with selling orders.It is a little singular that a number of Cables reporied lower martets ahroad, At the cpening and after our market had declined nearly 1 cent per bushel, closing figures indicated higber pri es in nearly all the foreign markets, It is the g-neral beliaf that as there bas been 80 much saow with the cold wave it would do very little injury to tre growing crop.We think there has been liberal selling by parties who expect to make a profit to-morrow, whea the Government report becomes known, and the weather more springlike.À few of our best local speculators were buyers at the dec'ine, believing that if the Gor- ernment reporc be ever so bearish and the weather ever so fine to-morrow, we à e more likely to have an advance than any further decline.Corn is lower caused by the quite general belief, that the Government report will show large stocks back in the farmers\u2019 hands.We thiuk there has bsen an unusual amount of this crop consumed on the farm, and have grave doubts aboat the Government being able to estimate with any accuracy ths amount available for shipment, Hog product was again dull without any special feature or tendency.Spe culators doing scarcely anyth.ng.Chicago Hog Market.The estimated receipts

Commercial says: One of the features of the week, and rather a disagreeable one, was the increass on some days of offerings of damp wheat, This was probably due to the very mild weather.Tbe weather was soft most of the week, with some rain on soms days, and wbeac which had ice or snow amongst it would go damp from the thaw, and would be more readily detected than in frosty weather.A good many car lots passing Winnipeg ia- spection, wera reporied damp, and it looks as though there will be a cansider- able losssomewhere.This will fall upon farmers who are holding damp grain, as well as upon dealers who have purchased it.It is regrettable there 1s 8) much damp wheat, and in fact it is also to some extent annoying that such 1s the case, seeing that the trouble was largely avoidable.The trouble is from winter threshing of stacks which wera not in condition to thresh, and which should have been allowed to stand.More or lees threshing has been going on all winter, and threshing hss been done even on days when the snow was drift- ipg badly, and wben it was practically impossible to keep the grain dry.It 18 impossib'e to give an estimste of the logs from damp grain, but 1t is ta bo feared it will be cogsiderable.It has be>n becoming increasingly hard of lats to dispose of lowest grade stuff.No.3 regular does not seem to be wanted any more at any price.With soft weather setting In, the outlook for the sale of very low grade stuff is not encouraging to holders.There was some increase in farmers\u2019 deliveries at country points.At a few country markets there was a fair movement, but the aggregate was light and the movement from first hands continues very small\u2014 po small that many buyers are off coan- try markets, The last weekly statement showing an increases of 237,370 bushels in stocks in store at Fort William, making the total 1,839,328 bushels a8 compared with 680,227 bushels a year ago.The movement to store at Fort William was large in comparison with farmers\u2019 deliveries, and consequently country elevator stocks have been reduced.Manitoba country and terminal elevator stocks amount to about 3.275,000 bushels.For the week ended Feb.27, 384 cars ot wheat were inspected at Winnipeg, as compared with 276 carsfor the corresponding week last year.Following were the quotations in the \u2018Winnipeg grain exchange on Friday : No.1

morning, but there was only one case for trial.It was that of à young man named Henri Marois, who pleaded guilty to the charge of illegally appropriating a horse and vehicle, the property of Francois Paradis.The relations of the accused stated that Le had amnst evil disposition and that as they could get no good out of him they wished him sentenced fora long time, not only as a punishment, but in order that he would be able to learn a trade if he so wished.Under these circumstances the judge sentenced Marois to four years\u2019 imprisonment in the penitentiary of St.Vincent de Paul.Fruit Boats

discharged from custody yesterday, as the complainant failed to appear on the day fixed for trial.In discharging Laforce, Judge Dugas again spoke strongly against granting carters\u2019 licenses to all who appiied for them, no matter ifthey had formerly been in prison ot not.He said;that;no doubtseme ot thecity officials would take exception to his remarks, but he could not help that, for a reform must certainly be made in this matter for the safety of the citizens and those strangers who visit Montreal.pres The Intervenant Wins the Case.Mr.Justice Doherty rendered judgment yesterday in the ease of Dame D: Sebastien vs.J.B.Durocher and Dame E.B, Durocher, intervenant.The eauss of dispute is a note signed by defendant and endorsed by intervenant, now in the hands of plaintiff.The intervenant alleges that ske is still the proprietor of the note, as, after she endorsed it, it was deposited with Isaac Durocher for safe keeping, from whom the plaintiff holds it, and she never received consideration for it.The tribunal, holding that documentary evidence was required by law in such a case, refused to adjudicate upon the verbal evidence of these allegations which was offered,but the Court of Review reversed this judgment and sent the record back to Mr.Justice Doherty, who, in accordance with their decision, ordered plaintiff to hand the note back to the intervenant; Miss E.B.Darocher.Plucky Rescue by a Fireman.Charlie McAllister, of No.2 salvage wagon, did a plucky deed at a slight fire on Mignonne-street yesterday afternoon, by which he saved a woman from serious injury if not death.At 2:15 o'clock the eastern section of the brigade, were called out by an alarm from box 75.The blaze was found to be in the basement of the dwelling 1167 Mignonne- street, the residence of Dr.A.Leblanc.It appears that at the time of the outbreak one of the doctor's lady patients wasin the house.The doctor and his family immediately made their way to the street by the front door ; not 80 the lady patient referred to.She, it would seem, lost her head when she found the house on fire, and instead of running to the street she fled to the upper flat of the house.The smoke became very dense, and thinking she would be suffocated she got ont tar ugh one of the upper windows and was clinging to a narrow sloping ledge of tue wine dow beneath when No.2 Salvaga acriv- ed.While the other firemen were raising a aladder McAllister who is a born \u201csmoke eater,\u201d saw that this woman was on the verge of faliing to the straet.He immediately rushed info the h nse and & moment later was out of an ad- joing window to that to which the woman clang.Hecaught her just as she let go the window and thus pte- vented her fallicg.He endeavored to force her through the window but she began to scream and straggle.It was no time for etiquette so the salvage man THE MONTREAL HERALD, FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1892.caught the lady in his arms and forced her through the window, carrying her still struggling, in safety tn the street although both were about half suffocated.ihe fire itself was of trifiing cou- sequence, as it was extingaished by à ccuple of babcock charges before serious damage was done.Gals Day and Banquet Arranged, At the St.Lawrence Hall yesterday, a meeting was held of the committee that was appointed on Wednesday, to consider the question

themselves and rest of mankind.The culprits all got the benefit of this general geniality, as light sentences were imposed in almost every instance.Notwithstanding this, however, a third of the dozen had not the whereaiwthal in ready coin to satisfy the dignity of outraged justice, consequently these four are this morning enjoying the hospitality of hotel de Vallee.Edmond Mathuria had sufficient capital on the proceeding day, however, to go on a \u201cbender\u201d with a fair charmer named Beatrice Chambers.The pair, very much under the influence, were found loitering at a ate hour on Craig-street and were gathered in by the ever alert guardians of the city\u2019s peace.Edmond, was fined $3 for the drunk with the ontion of two days jail.He decided on the jail as his pockets were empty.His companion in misery, however, was let off with a reprimand, she promising to loiter by the way no more in future, and to forever foreswear the seductive wiles of the rosy god.Michael Rallis went down for eight days for being drank on St, Catherine-street, and Margaret Smith, à vagrant of 50, took three months with a grateful * God bless you our honor.\u201d Isaac Smith decided to get is hand into work by cracking government stones for the fifty-seccnd part of a year, no doubt, to show how real sorry he was for being found drunk on Prince- street.The brief entertainment closed with the appearance ef a police star named Gildie Burke, who had gone to rest off a drunk in the church of Notre Dame.\u201cItis a very bad place to be drunk ;in\u201d commented Francois, as his bonor murmured \u201cGildie Burke you willl goto prison for two months, and then if you cannot pay $5 you will stay there for two months more.Then all hands went to lunch.STAGE AND FOYER.\u2018* Master and

Commissioners.The Protestant Board of School Commissioners met yesterday morning, all the members being present.A proposal was made te allow reporters of the city press to be present at the meetings of the Board.It was resolved that the Commissioners hereby declare their readiness to admit them, so far as their personal views and feelings are concerned.They believe that thus many great misapprehensions would be removed.At the same time it should be remembered that most serious injury must result to teach- 18, in their professional standing, from publicity being given to discussions which necessarily arise in securing the best teachers ; and moreover, in matters of discipline which are continually occurring, privacy is absolutely required.The question, however, is decided by Article 221 of the Code of Public Instruce tion, which prohibits the meetings of School Commissioners being public, and admits to them none but those who attend in business.Migs Charlton was appointed to the staff of the Lorne school and the superintendent was instructed to report upon the opening of a kindergarten in that district.It was decided to advertise for 8 master for the commercial work of the High School.The following committees were struck: (a), to accept tenders for printing and supply of stationery; (b),to prepsre and conduct the annual written examinations; (c) on courses of study.It was decided to recommend the A.A.examiners to publish the names of suc- ce sful candidates alphabetically without ranking, and the University to accept the English pronunciation\u201d of Latin without prejudice until some uniform pronunciation for the Dominion of Canada might be adopted.The questions of home lessons and free books were also discussed, but no conclusion arrived at.The finding of the Board on these questions will be given later.After which the commissi~aers adjourned to the new High Sci.ol buili- ing.\u2014_\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 SERIOUS CHARC 23, Prisoners Found Guilty, aud Another Belng Tried for Attempted Murder, \u2014 The Court of Queen's Bench resumed at 10 o'clock yesterday morning.His Honor Judge Baby presided, the crowa being reppresented by Messrs M.J, F.Quinp, Q.C., and J.L.Archambault QC, On the opening of the Court Thomas Watson, appeared, and pleaded guilty to the charge of common assalt on a policemen.He was find $5.after which Maxime Rocheleau, was placad in the dock to stand his trial for gross unde- cency.The accused is ons of the individuals who had been found inthe St.Dominique-street den,the scene of shocking crimes against morality that was raided by tbe police some seven weeks ago.The prisoner who was an ill favored looking Canadian pleaded not guilty, but some of his young accomplices ia rime gave most damaging evidence against him.From the nature of the charge, the evidenco was wholly unfit for publication.Notwithstanding this the hearing of the case occupied the whole morning session, and was only given to the jury shortly after 1 o'clock.After an absence of ten minutes the jury re-entered court with a verdict of \u201cGuilty of gross indecency,\u201d a8 charged in the indictment.The prisoner being remanded for sentence the court arose for recess until 2 o'clock.The Afternoon Session, When the court resumed proceedings at 2 o\u2019clock Antoine Prudhomme was placed on trial for attempted murder.Readers of The Herald will remember the particulars of this case.The accused was employed as a driver by the reverend gentlemen of the Grand Seminary, while his uncle was employed in a similar capacity at the Seminary of Notre Dame.It appears that the accused, who 18 a young man, wished to leave the employ of the seminary fir the pnrpose of starting a saloon.To do this he desired to obtain monetary aid from his uncle.This bad been repeatedly refused, but about 5 o'clock in the morning of January 28, the accused was at the seminary adjoining Notre Dame cburch.His uncle came down to open the gates when the nephew once more pressed his demand for money, with which to open the saloon.He was again refused, when, it is alleged, he drew a revolver and fired point blank at Mr.Prudhomme, senior.He then made off but was, later in the morning, arrested in the house where he roomed.The elder Prudhomme had not been hit by the shot, bat the accused when arrested denied even the attempt.After the preliminary examination before the police magistrate, however, he was fully committed for trial on the charge of attempted murder.Daring the afternoon three witnesses were examined, but as it was deemed impossible to reach a verdict yesterdav the court adjourned at 4.20 o\u2019clock to resame this morning at 10 o'clock, the jury being locked up for the night.Ll Sun Spots and the Aurora Borealis, Professor John K.Rees, in Harper\u2019s Young People, Observers of the sun's face have for centuries noticed at times dark spots on it.Now we know from the accamulated observations that the extent and nom- ber of these spots vary.Sometimes we can see very few, or even none at all, and sometimes we can see a great many, son.6 of which are visible to the naked eye when protected by colored or smoked glass.Such a spotted region is now (Feb, 18) passing out of sight on the southwestern limb of the sun; bat a sec- ord group of spots is finely visible on 1he northern hemisphere, stretching in a long line from the eastern edge to tbe centre of the sun.But what has the sun to do with the aurora?Simply this: It has been shown that when we have the greatest number of sun spots, then we have the most frequent and most gorgeous displays of the aurora.When there is a great storm on the sun-producing spots, then we feel at once on our little earth a disturbance of electrical conditions.\u2018I'he display of the aurora on February 13 is regarded as an accompaniment of the ¢olar disturbances which have produced the tremendous spotted regions mentioned.The average time from when the spotted area on the sun is greatest to the next maximum, is a little over eleven years.The last spot maximum occurred in 1883-4, a year or two b2hind the average time, and we seem now to be approaching & maximum in 1892.3.We may therefore fairly conclude that dur- Ing this year we shall be favored with numerous and brilliant auroræ.BLIZZARD OUT WEST.Terrible Suffering and Destruction of

drift-covered country roads, the full details oi the loss of life will be slow in coming in, but that there have serious results of the storm is undoubtedly true.Damage to property from the severity of the gals is reported very great at Fargo, Cookstown and other places.2 AI Going Into the Trust Busines, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.New York, March 10.\u2014The Post says \u2014It was definitely learned to-day that binding agreements have been entered into between nearly all the anthracite carrying and producing companies for the purpose of maintaining rates and restricting production.This is the same agreement that has been already signed by the Ontario & Western, and Delaware & Hudson Companies within a tew daye, and all the other interests have joined in it at previous dates.It cannot be learned what arrangements have been made to form a board of enntrol, the agreement being a confidential one, but it 18 thought that the power to fix rates and production will be given to such a board, which will have arbitrary control.The relations of the companies to the Pennsylvania road are not yet known.Ee The Trust May Be Broken Up, BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD, New York, March 10.\u2014An

The mills made the hesviest run last week that they made in any week since the middle of D:c- ember.The total output for the wesk was 180,920 barrels against 177,500 barrels the previous week.The present week will show a large decrease.The extreme dullness of trade for the past three or four weeks hes had the effect of causing tbe large mills, representing about 5000 barrels daily, to close down and the prospects ars that next week will see a still smaller number runninz.The water power has greatly improved and for a couple o: days there has been about as much as could be conveniently used, but à wild blizzard is now in progress and it is feared that this will act unfavorable upon the supply of water.The flour market has been pretty flat the past week, Few milis bave sold over half | their output and those who had orders ahead are catching up on them.The foreign trade is pretty nearly dead, the few bids coming in usually being much lower than the millers\u2019 views.The direct export shipments las* week were 52,765 barrels against 83,200 the precesding week.> AMERICAN WHEAT £TOUKS, Immense Quantities of Wheat and Corn Available for Export, BY TELEGRAPH TO THE
