Have Been Misrepresented in the Report of His London Speech, SO THEY STATE AT OTTAWA, Mr.\u2018 Dalton McCarthy Re-introduces] His Measure in the House to Secure Amendments vo the Northwest Territories Act \u2014Mr, Bergeron Gets Heated Over the Soulanges Canal Affair, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, Orrawa, March 17,\u2014St, Patrick\u2019s Day was celebrated in Parliament by Mr Dalton MeCsrihy, throwing down the gage of battle to his Roman Catholic fellowmen in re-introducing his msasure to\u2018secure amendments to the Northwest Territories Aci, which will secure the abelition of the dual lanzuage, and -separate school systems in our Western country.As he did so, he wore a sham- rz Xk in the lappel of his coat and a cynical -smue on his face.Heevideatly enjoyed his task for be believed that he was rehabilitating himself in the eyes of these who had previously been his ade mirers, but who had lost faith in him during last session, and he took care to apologize to them for not having brought the subject before the Houss last year.In doing this he made one interesting confession.He stated that when he left for Bagland last year there was practically ro Government, and that when he reacked London he was assured by the High Commissioner that nothing would be done in Parliament except to pass the estimates and the supply bill and proroque as soon as possible.Old Arguments Rehashed, This gave the Opposition an apportu- nity they wanted, and Mr.Davies asked whether Sir Charles apoke for the Government, Mr.McCarthy said that the High Commissioner gave him to understand that ke had information to that effect, and he (Mr.McCarthy) had relied upon that statement.Mr.McCarthy's arguments in introducing the bill Were practically the same as those adduced \u2018by bim two sessions ago.He re-told the history of the establishment of the daal language gystem and the agitation for its ab- oiition as told in the debate two years ago and condemned in strong lauguage the compromise resolution then adopted, a compromise neither wise or ca'culated to produce good results, The evil of permitting the people to use both languages sti:l exists, despite the action of the Assembly, 80 far as the proceedings in the courts and the publication of official documents are concerned, He did not desire to prevent anybody using their mother tongue, bnt he did com- lain that the French lsnguage shonld be put on à par with English in the Northwest.The Separate School Questien.Turning to the school question he ex- plainsd that he desired to give the Ae~ sembly power to legislate upon this question, The genius of our constitation was that education belonged to the provinces.Last session that Parliament had granted many powers to the Northwest Assembly had given them nearly every power enjoyed by the provinces, but they had not been given the power lo legislate in reference to the echools.He did not seek to interfere with the system of separata schools, which had been made binding upon the people of Ontario, that was a subject withwhich thisParliament had no power to deal ; the Imperial Parliament alone could amend that evil.No more mischievous provision had ever been placed in any act of Parliament than the clause giving the Northwest separate schools, for the country was too sparsely populated to afford to sustain two sets of schools.For these reasons it was desirable to give the Assembly power to deal with the schools.A Manitoba Member Objects, Mr, Lariviere, of Manitoba, who regards himself as the chief defender of the rights of his western compatriots, expressed his regret at the introduction of the question and Mr.McCarthy\u2019s attempt to arouse religious and national feelings.The decision of Parliament two years ago should be respected.Mr.McCarthy should be satisfied with what ne had secured in the Northwest, where the Assembly had abolished the use of the French language.He (Mr.La- riviere) only desired equal treatment for all.It was unjust to seek to deprive a a handful of people in the Territories rivileges which were granted to the English people in Quebec.The bill was read a first time, The Esquimanit Fortifications.Col Prior had a series of important questions on the paper in reference to the Esquimault fortifications, seeking information ot the Government\u2019 fpolicy, but Mr.Bowell declined to be drawn out Tbe question was now under consideration and the information asked for might be considered as confidential.Mr.Tupper told Mr.Lepine that the act under which an inspector of gear and tackle on vessels in the port of Montreal had to be appointed would come into force on April 1.The Government would probably clothe one of the existing officers with the necessary powers.Denial From Sir Charles.Before the orders of the day were called, Mr.Davies drew the attention of the Government to the press despatch in which 8ir Chas.Tupper was reported to have said in a speech before the London Chamber of Commerce that Canada would soon strike a vital blow at the United States, He asked it Sir Charles had the concurrence of the Government in this statement.In reply 8ir John Thompson said that when the Ministers read the telegram io the newspapers, they were all satisfied that the High Commissioner had 7 ot made any such statement.He (Sir John) had since seen a telegram from Sir Charles in which it was stated that he had been misreporied and that he had not spoken on the subject of retaliation on that occasion at all.Mr Bergeron Gets Mad, The discussion of the family quarrel between Mr.Bergeron and the Government in reference to the Soulanges canal was then resumed by Mr, Blain, When be had finished Mr.Haggart promised that the papers asked for should be produced.He contended that everything tended to show that the cost ofexca- vating the entrance of the Beauharnois Canal would be more ex pensive than the building ota new canal.The ministers statement seemed only to add to Mr.Bergeron\u2019s indignation for he got very argry at Mr.Haggart and told hin tbat his statements were founded upon false information.\u20181 he member for Beauharnois characterized the proposed expenditure as worse than vseless, The Government was going to throw away eight millions for nothing, He again demanded that Mr.Monro\u2019s report should be submitted to & commission of engineers, a request which Mr.Laurier supported, The leader of the Opposition took advantage of the opportunity to twit Mr.Bergeron with his inaction in the Soulanges elec tion.If he was inearnest in his protest he should bave gone into the county of Eoulanges during the recent election and opposed the government candidate, Some Closing Requests.Messrs.Perry and Davies urged ihe claims of Prince Edward Island to more expenditure upon public works.Mr.Edgar moved for a return respecting all sales or leages of land in Manitoba and for Ottawa documents in reter- ence to the Welland election case, and Mr, Laurier for correspondence with the Imperial Government in references to the Esquimalt fortifications which Mr.Bowell promised to bring down, or at least, what portion was not confidential.This wound up the business, and the House adjourned at 6 o\u2019clock.\u2018 Notes of the Session.The city has retained S, H.Blake to o ppcrse the City Passenger bill before the Railway Committee.Mr.Forbes will ask whether the Government will give lumbermen the privilege of procuring perk free of daty.Mr.Davies will move for the correspondence respecting recent threats of dismissal of employees on the Intercol- onial railway.Thirty representatives of Farmer's Institutes waited on Mr.Foster this morning and asked for an increase of the duty on heavy pork.Proceedings in the Senate to-day were merely routine.Mr.Abbott repeated Sir Jobn Thompson\u2019 repudiation of Sir Chas.Tupper\u2019s London speech.Sir Jcseph Hickson, president of the Prohibition Commission had a consalta- tion with Mr.Abbott to-day, The commission will be formally organized next week.Mr.Choquette gives notice of an interesting question to-night.He wants to know why Mr, Haggart has not kept bis promise to appoint a post master for Cape St.Ignace, Que., which promise is contained in two letters from Mr.Hag- gert quoted in the question.Mr, McCarthy evidently intends this session to revive his proposal for the appointment of 8 commission to settle railway disputes, for he gives notice of motions for full particolars of all work done by the Raiiway Committee of the Privy Council.The selection of a commandant of the Canadian team for Bisiey has been left to a committee cousisting of (Colonels Kirkpatrick, M.P., enshaw and White.No choice will be likely reacnea for some time, but 1t is expected Lt.-Col.Massey, of the Sixth Fusiliers, Montreal, will be the lucky man.Other names mentioned are those of Lt.-Col.Denison, M.P.; Major Hughes, M.P.; Lt.-Col.O\u2019Brien, M.P., and Lt.-Col.Gravely, of Cobourg.Ald.G.F.Frankland and Messrs.John Dunn and A.J.Thompson, of Toronto, a deputation from the Dominion Live Stock Association, were in town today on their way back from Montreal where they interviewed the traffic manager of the C.P.R.and G.T.R.in reference to freight rates on cattle from Ontario points to Montreal.They secured a reduction of $5 per car from all .1 points west of Bowmanville and of 10 per cent from points east.To-day they saw Mr.Tupper and asked for the removal of fees and other charges made at Montreal for the inspection of cattle and also that they be relieved of the charges made for entering cattlemens\u2019 names on the ships articles.They were promised consideration.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Crops Greatly Benefited.Havana, Mick, March 17.\u2014Planters throughout the island have taken advantage cf the recent heavy rains to forward the planting of cane for next season.The rains have proved a benefit rather than an injury.Ad- vices from Remedios are to the effect that the tobacco crop in that locality, which it was expected would be one of the largest ever harvested thers, Bas been still further improved by the recent showers which it is estimated has raised the value of the yieldjfrom $700,- 000 to $1,000,000, The Guines district Rose potatoes are excellent in quality but too small for export, Death of an Impressario, New Yorx,March 17.\u2014Max Strakosch, the impressario, died this morning in the home for incurables.Four, years ago Mr.Strakosch was stricken down with paralysis and although the most skilful physicians in this country attended him, he gradually grew worse and it soon became apparent that it was only a question of time when the end would come.Two years ago he was removed fo the home for incurables.The Dollar a Week Fake, Newark, N, J.\u2014March 17.\u2014Another of the dollar a week concerns collapsed to-day.The Equitable Enterprise Company\u2019s effects were seized upon through an attachment by the victims who paid in a dollar weekiy for 35 weeks.Only a quantity of cheap office farniture was there to be seized, THE END NOT YET.A Terrible Record of Orimes Against the Cold-Bleoded Villain Williams.\u2014\u2014 ONE VICTIM IDENTIFIED.The Story of How the Scoumdrel Married Many Women and Killed Them to Clear the Way for Other Marriages\u2014-Peopla Comiug Forward With Evidence Concerning His Successful Rascality.LiverPoo., March 17.\u2014The excitement cauted by the discovery yesterday of five bodies buried under} the floor of a becuse at Rainhill ¢ hows no sign of abat ing, and further developments are eager ly awaited.It has transpired that before coming to England, Williams, th man whose arrest at Melbourne led to the unearthing of the bodies, was livin in Sydney, N.S.W.Shortly after he lef: that city his wife and four children disappeared, and it was supposed they had fcllowed Williams to England.Ramors of his intended marriage to a young girl named Mather reached Sydney, and it was paturally supposed Mrs, Williams and her children had left for Liverpool to prevent the consammation of this | crime.The police expect to prove that the bodies found yesterday are those of the wife and children and that Williams killed them to carry out his intention to marry Miss Mather without molestation.Williams married the girl in question and took her to Melbourne where he killed her in order to marry another girl, Pursuing the Investigation.TEe police have discovered a child\u2019s \u20acopy-~book in the house at Rain Hill in which is inscribed the mame, Bertha Dening.It is known Williams used the alias Dening when he was in Australia.The police are still pursuing their investigations at the house, and the place is surrounded by an immense crowd.The authorities have traced a large and beavy box sent by Williams to the raii- way station at Plymouth.The box, which was addressed to \u201cMrs.Holds,\u201d has never been called for, and much curiosity is felt as to its contents.After tbe body of the woman and four children were taken to the morgue yesterday they were made as presentable as possible for purposes of identification.To-day a gardener who lived next door to Dinham Villa, where the bodies were found, recognized the eldest body as that of a woman he had seen in the back yard of Dinham Villa on Aug.9 last.On Aug.10 he heard children screaming.He paid noattention, thinking perhaps some of the children bad been hurt.He never saw the woman or children afterwards.The Body Recognized.Another recognized the body as that of Marie Dening who bad been in the employ of a Liverpool fish merchant.Williams had married her under the name of Dening, at that time describing bimself as a mining engineer.Williams and his wife, the man said, afterwards went to Hull where Williams was arrested and convicted of forgery.For this crime he was sentenced to a years imprisonment, On being discharged from prison he married a young woman in Hull.He wished her to go abroad, but she declined.Williams then deserted her and returned to Marie.Accompanied by Marie, Williams went to Capctown, where they remained for a time.Then they retained to Birkenhead and took up their residence there remaining for some time.: One of His Adventures.Marie had three brothers and two sisters in Birkenhead.The man believed that Williams was the same individual who married a young lady named Mathe- son at Beverly, in 1890, at that time assuming the name of Harry Lawson.He then described himself as a large farmer in Australia.He gave la number of valuable presents to Miss Matheson.After his marriage to Miss Matheson he deserted ber and absconded to South America.Miss Matheson swore out a warrant against him, charging him with the theft of the present he had given her and he was arrested in Uruguay, Wil liams was brought back to Hall and sent to jail for 9 months, A Cold-Blooded Villain, During the time he was in prison it was ascertained he had married the lady in Birkenhead.It is considered strange in view of these developments that proceeding were not taken against the man for bigamy, but for some reason this was not done and when he was released he vanished.The more the facts in thig strange case are brought to light the stronger grows the belief that Willlams is the most consummate cold-blooded villian that this or dny other country has ever produced.A theory has been advanced that he is insane, but there has been too much method in his madness for this theory to gain many supporters.He certainly appears to have had a mania for marrying and nothing seems to have deterred him from putting his wives out of the way when they proved obstacles to his contracting other bigamous marriages.The police believe Williams has committed other murders than those now known and the authorities at every place he is known bave been fnotified to trace him while in their respective localities.His Identity Established, It has been learned that the name of Williams is assumed and that t&e murderer\u2019s proper name is Deeming, the name under which he married the woman whose body was found under the hearth stone at Dinbam Villa, Deeming has a brother who lives in Birkenhead and be was summond to attend the coroner\u2019s inquest on the body of Mrs.Deeming and the four unfortunate children.He arrived at Rain Hil this afternoon.He bears a striking resemblance to his brother and some of the people in the crowd thought it was the murderer.he news spread with lightaing-like speed that the murderer had returned, in the excitement no one recalling that he was safely in the custody of the police at Melbourne.The crowed hooted and yelled, and finally made a threatening rush for Deeming.The latter thought that his life was in danger and rushed to à hotel, in which he found shelter from the yelling crowd of men and boys who followed him to the very doors.His Family 1s Respectable: Two sisters of Mare Deeming, with the brother of Deeming, alias Williams, to-day visited the place where the bodies are lying, and identified the remains of the woman and also of the four children whose names were respectively given as Bertha, Maria, Lillian and Sydney.It was ascertained the murderer Frederick Deeming is a member of a good family residing in Birkenhead.He has always been of a restless disposition and has led a roving, unsettled life, He married the woman, Marie James, in 1880 and she accompanied him to Australia.She remained in that conntry for a number of years and returned to England in July last.The woman and her children ra- mained with her sisters until they mysteriously disappeared.The excavations in the Rain Hill Villa were continued throughout the day but in spite of the closest search no further discoveries of bodies were made.THE ANARCHISTIC TROUBLE, Running the Men Down Who Are Blamed for Explosions.Paris, March 17.\u2014The police search of the lodgings of Anarchists continues.Sixty suspects were arrssted in a hotel in the Roe Arbre section.Those who gave a satisfactory account of them- solves were released.The lodgings of an Anarchist named Garzeau were searched by the police and they were rewarded by the discovery of a number of phials containing chlorate of potassium, snd hydro-chloric acid.Several pans contain ng a suspicious jooking mixture were also found.All the chemicals were discovered concealed in a cupboard.Garzeau was arrested, but he refused to make any explanation of what he intended to do with the chemicals.Chlorate of potassium and hydro chloric acid are ingredients in manufacture of explosives.Experts will examine the mixture found in the pans.It is reported that the police are on the track of the man who caused the explosion at the Lebeau barracks Tuesday morning.Anarchists Seek Revenge.Lixge, Belgium, March 17, \u2014 Three anarchists who had stelen 500 pounds of dynamite from a mill aud afterwards fried to blow up The Magazine at the milll were sentenced yesterday, one to 15 years and the other two to 12 years penal servitude.These sentences aroused the ire of the prisoners\u2019 fellow anarchists and they determined if possible to take revenge.The object of their vengeance was the president of the Assize Loartf who had sentenced the culprits.This morning & dynamite cartridge was discovered at the door of the residence of the president of the court.Fortanately it wes found before 1t was exploded and po harm was done.An ingniry into the affair is now going on.Paris, March 17.\u2014Premier Loubet intimated at a Cabinet Council to-day that important results had been obtained in the Anarchist investigation.BANK OF ENGLAND, The Situation of Affairs as Regards the Baring Liquidation.Loxpow, March 17.\u2014The regular half yearly meeting of the directors of the Bank of England was held to-day, The Rt.Hon, William Lidderdale, governor of the bank announced that the present liabilities of the Barings due the bank were £6500,000.He said that the proposal to relieve the bank by transferring the unrealized assets of the Barings to a committee or new trust, which would raise fands to repay the £6,500,000 advanced at the bank for the liquidation of the Baring\u2019s affairs was not opportune, The balance must be produced before anything of the kind could be done.It was impossible to speak with confidence upon the final outcome of the liquidation.Without holding out false hopes, however, Mr.Lidderdale said he did not expect any logs to fall upon the gnarantors.The Ex-Minister Gets Clear, Lissox, March 17.\u2014A committee of the Chamber of Deputies, to which the matter was referred, has decided that there are no grounds for criminal proceedings against Marrianno Carvalho, ex- Minister of Finance.It hag been proposed that criminal proceedings should be instituted against Carvalho, who while Minister of Finance loaned large som of money to the Royal Railway without the knowledge of his colleagues.The Guenburg Crash, _ £1, PETERSBURG, March 17.\u2014Thè latest \u201cinformation regarding the affairs of the suspended banker Guenburg, places the liabilities as between 15,000,000 and 20,~ 000,000 roubles.The aseets are said to amount to about 15,000,000 roubles, of which securities and property to the amount of 10,000,000 roubles can be easily converted into cash.The remainder will be difficult to realize on.Will Return to Work Monday.LonnoN, March 17,\u2014The Miners Federation conference adopted a resolution declaring, that in view of the fact that the object for which the mines had been closed had been accomplished, the miners should resume work Monday, The conference will next consider the vumber of days in the week the men shall work, Hanging of Two Poachers, Loxpon, March 17.\u2014The appeals made to the Rt.Hon.Henry Matthews, Home Secretary, in the case of Charles Raynor and FrederickSingleton,the poachers condemned fo death for the killing of Joseph Ciawley and William Puddephatt, gamekeepers on an estate, were of no avail and consequently the two men were hanged at Oxford at 8 o'clock this morning.Both men were calm and repeated in fervent tones the responses to the services read by the chaplain of the jail.At the signal the drop fell and ceath was almost instantaneous, THE BRITISH COMMONS.Ireland and Its Interests at the Chicage Fair Under Discussion, BY CABLE TO THE HERALD, LoxpoN, March 17.\u2014In the Commons to-day Mr.Jno.O'Connor again raised the question of Irish representation on the British Chicago Colombian exhibit commission.Sir Richard E Webster, the Attorney General, replied that the Irish members of the House misunderstood the matter.There had been no personal selection of members of the commission.It was composed of the council of the Society of Arts selected without regard to the Uhi- cago exhibition, The commission would not overlook Irish interests.It was a mistake, Sir Richard said, to suppose that there were no Irishmen on the commission, The official list showed members representing the textile, woolen and linen indugtries of Ireland.If the Irish members favored him with other names they would be added to the committee.Fourteen representatives of Irish indue- tries now assisted the commission.Ireland would be a large exhibitor.at Chicago.Already twenty-six important Irish firme had applied for 3,239 square feet of space.The allotments would soon be made.At the end of February two-thirds of all the space available for the United Kingdom had been applied for.He admitied that there might be difficulties in the way of establishing a separate Irish department.Proper arrangements would depend upon right classification of exhibits.He said he trasted that the Government would not be sparing in their outlay, and Mr.Mundella concurred as to the necessity for an increase in the grant.Mr.Sexton observed that what the members from Ireland considered more important than the comparison of various branches of Irish industry, was that America should have an opportunity to find out what exhibits were Irish.Sir Richard Webster promised that in the work of classification care should be taken so that the wishes of Irish members were carefully considered.Mr.Mundalla asked Mr.Baltour whether the Treasury would consider the expediency of increasing the grant.\u2014 (Cries of \u201cHear\u201d).Mr.Balfour replied that the matter would receive the earliest consideration of the Government.\u2014(Cries of \u201cHear\u201d \u201cHear.\u201d) A vote of £10,000 was then approved.' Several questions were put to Home Secretary Matthews in the House of Commons this evening regarding the execution of the poachers Ramer and Eggleton.The speaker cailed Mr.Coneybeare to order for accusing Mr.Matthews of not taking the trouble to refer to the documents bearing on.the case.Mr, Hnuoter (Liberal) then asked whether Mr, Matthews, after this judicial scandal, was prepared to make a definition of what constitutes the crime of murder, merely in harmony with the sentiment of the people.Mr.Matthews declined to answer off hand a question on a law that had lasted for centuries.\u2014\u2014 England and Turkey.Carro, March 17.\u2014The presence in Alexandria since Tuesday of nine English ironclade and the non-arrival of the Turkish vessels bringing the Sultan's envoy, call forth comments in political and diplomatic circles as revealing somewhat strained relations between England and Turkey.It seems that the sending of the firmen of institutare to theKhedive was finally decided on at Constantinople last week, which decision Sir Clare Ford, divulged, Suspecting the eagerness of | the English Admiralty and Embassy to announce the sending of the firman and that the English Admiralty had arranged to make a naval demon stration which would neutralize in the eyes of the Egyptians the effect of the firm as an an assertion of sovereign rights of the Sultan of Egypt, the Porte adjourned the despatch of the firman.The delay is further justified on account of the unsettled question of the Egyptian frontier at the Red Sea.In the meantime Epgland takes advantage of circumstances to continue her work of absorbing Egypt.In view of this the very desirable question of the firman should be quickly brought to a conclusion, The Pope and the Shamrock, Rome, March 17.\u2014Prior Glynn, of the Irish National Church in Rome, was given a special audience yesterday by the Pope.The prior presented to his holiness a number of shamrocks that had been sent from Ireland.They were enclosed in a coffer of crystal bearing the papal arms.The Pope expressed his gratification for the gift, and promised to wear a sprig of the shamrock on his heart to-day, The Tournament in London Nearing à Close LonpoN, March 17.\u2014Both Tasker and Mason were victorious in the chess tournament to-day.The latter is now the winner of the second prize with the possibility of tieing with the German for first and second should the latter lose to-morrow.On tbe other hand Lasker needs only to draw his game to make first prize, Many Malavitians Arrested.Rouge, March

Arts in New York.Funeral of the Duke of Hesse, DARMSTADT, March 17.\u2014An immense crowd witnessed the funeral to-day ofthe Grand Duks of Hesse.Business was suspended and emblems of mourning were everywhere displayed, J MURPHY IS LEFT.ey He Will Not be Appointed to the Legislative Council, QUEBEC CABINET TROUBLE, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 It is BeMeved That Governor Angers Has Refused to Saaction His Appoint.ment\u2014Attorney-General Casgrain ig Also Hostile to His Klevatien-Trouble Brewing in Quebec Tory Circles, \u2014_\u2014 BPECIAL TO THE HERALD, QuEexc, March 17.\u2014A startling rumor, seemingly well founded, was circulated here to-day.Lieut.-Governor Angers, it wag said, had refused to ratify the nomination of Mr, Owen Marphy a8 & member of the Legislative Council.The following are the circamstan-eg which led to this conclusion : On Tuesday evening, after four hours?sitting, the Cabinet passed an Order-ina Council naming Mr.Murphy.Next morning Le Matin, Mr.De Boucher, ville\u2019s organ, announced the fact officie ally.Mr.Murphy accepted the congras lations of his friends and stated that bad he not been sure of his nomination he would not have vacated the seat of Quebec West.The Montreal Gazette also published Mr; Murphy\u2019s nomination.Great, therefore, was the surprise when Le Courier du Canada, Mr, Chapais\u2019 paper, announced this evening that Mr.Murphy was not named and that tha vacancy would not be filled yet.From this was concluded either that Mr.Angers had refused \"to sign or that the Cabinet were at loggerheads.Mr.T.C.Casgrain\u2019s aosence seems to indicate that he did not approve of the appoirtment, and the sudden change of front on the part of Le Courier is a certain indication that some very high authority has stopped the way.To get over these complications it is said that Mr.L.P.Pelletier will be appointed to the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench, _\u2014 HORRORS OF THE GIBBET, Terrible Death of Frank Schneider\u2014Sen.tenced for Murder, Vienna, March 17.\u2014Frank Schneider, the murderer of servant girls, was executed here to-day.Schneider was gib- betted after the Austrian method.He was entirely broken down as he was led .from the cell to the scaffold.Ag he saw the scaffold and the stake and spike from which be was {0 be hanged, nsing above it, his sallow face turned à grean- ish hue, and he had almost to be carried to the spot.The stake had fixed in the top of it a epike about six inches long.Schneider shrieked: \u201cHave mercy on me, my God, I will tell all.\u201d The priest who was in artendance upon him urged him to think of Heaven, There were three steps to lift the doomed criminal up to the spike, the appearance of which suggested to the horror-stricken throng of on~lookers in the jail yard, that.the punishment would be the feartal Oriental one known as impalement, This.impaiession was so strong that & rumoz got abroad in the streets and was tele= graphed through Europe that Schneider was being impaled.He had a much easier death, however.He was lifted to the spike and the back of his neck held close to 1t.Then a cord was passed around his neck, fastening it tightly to the spike and he was strangled to death.To hasten his end the executioner pressed his hand around the mouth and nose of the dying criminal, while one ag- sistant held and gpulled Schneider's arms and another pulled his legs, The wretch died in four minutes.The body was left suspended fo the stake, rc The Weather, TORONTO, March 17.\u2014The pressure is slowly

cricket has lost much of its popularity in Australia because it is entirely in the hands of speculators and bookmakers, I find nothing from the Antipodes to justify such a statement.In fact the very opposite is declared to be the true state of the case.At the very time that the Blackwood\u2019s article was published The Melbourne Australasian was discussing the state of the game in that country, and found the same causes at work there as in England.\u201cIt must be admitted that cricket or at any rate cricket as exhibited in first- class matches has net been so popular ag of yore.For this untoward state of affairs the cricketers are themselves largely to blame.Some of thoss who grumble most when the public stay away are the least considerate towards the spectators.You will see a man of some reputation for skill who will play the game as if it were simply intended for his own amusement and practice, who will set himself, not to get runs, but to see bow long he can keep his wicket up against good bowling, and who will block ball after bal: and \u201cpotter\u201d with a monoton- cus patience for the whole length of a summer afternoon, monopolising san- Children cry for E J Fenwick

this is scientific ciicket.It may be so, but people do not visit the cricket ground to study science.\u2018They go to see playing, and unless they witness it,their support, by which the cricket clubs flourish and organize their international and intercolonial trips, will be withdrawn, Further, most of the matches are too long arawn out.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 TRE WHERBL, Two Men Who Haye

the rumor that he offered the eighteen dog mertioned to the South Bend Kennels of South Bend, Ind,, a day or two ago, for $10,500.Whether he would, however, accept that sum now is a question No doubt

Dead, Wife Crazy, BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD, daseLToN, Pa., March 17.\u2014John Tray- no, a fire boss in ong of the collieries in Schuylkill County; enfered the mine about $ o'clock last Thursday morning to examine the chambers and test the gas.That was the last seen of him alive.His young wife, became alarmed at his absence and besought her neighbors to search the mine.A party was organized and twelve miners made a thorough search of the works, but without finding any trace of him, When the news was broken to the wife she became distracted and it was feared for a time she would go mad.She became strangely calm however in a short time, saying she was sure her husband would be found.A few days later Mrs.Traynor disappeared.Search throughout the, village to discover avy trace of her failed and it was finally supposed that the loss of her husband had unbalanced her mind, and that ska had wandered off to the mountains.Her fate remained a mystery unttii last Monday when a party of mice surveyors tumb ed on the solution.Entering an old breast to the mine which forms the second opening ot the mine, they heard the sound of a voice in the darkness, some distance beyond, They listened intently and were startled to recognize the voice a8 tbat of a woman, orrooning softly the words of a love song.Summoning all their courage they crawled overthe loose coal to the place whence the voice proceeded, and by the light of their lamps beheld a wild eyed woman holding in her lap the head of a man apparently dead.She swayed gently from side to side while she sang.The awe stricken men were about to retreat when one exclaimed : \u201cMy God, it's Mrs, Traynor.\u201d Gently they lifted her up, then she Taised & cry of despair and fainted.She was brought to the surface at once and borne to her desolate heme, followed by the dead body of her young husband.She is now a raving maniac.It is supposed that when she disappeared sne made directly for the mine manway, and stumbled across the body of her husb: nd, who had been caaght by a fall of top coal on his way out, and che discovery turned her brain.rss Back Witha Black Kye, New York, March 17.\u2014Secretary Fos- tor

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE DOMINKON ASSOCIATION YESTERDAY, Major General Herbert D-aws a Strong Contrast Between tho Artlilery and the Rest of the Force\u2014The Governor-Gen- eral Receives Thanks for His Presence and Replies in a Happy Strain.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.Orrawa, March 17,\u2014Th3 annual maet- ing of the Dominion Artillery association was held in the Tower rcom this morning, Lt.Col.Stevenson, of Montreal, the president, in the chair.There were present His Excellency the Goveraor- General and Capt.Walsh, A.D.C, Major-General Herbert, and Capt.Streat- field, A.D, C.; Hon.Mackenzie Bowall; Lt.Col.Panet, deputy minister of militia; Col.Powell, adjutant-general; Lt.Col.Irwin, inspector of artillery; Lt.Col.Otter, D, A.G.; Lt.Col.Prior, M.P.; Lt.Col.Tarnbull, M.G.A.; Lt.Col.Hood, Montreal; Major F.M.Cole, M.G.A; Capt.Bliss, Ottawa F.B.; Lt.Gill more, R.M.C.; Lt Uol.Denison, C.M.G, M.P.; Lt.Col.Kirkpatrick.Report of the Secretary.The report of the secretary-treasurer, Cap\u2019.J.B, Donaldson, which was adopted, stated that the past year had been most successful, 16 field batteries and 30 garrison batteries having affiliated in addie tion to the Royal Military collage and A and B batteries.The receipts for the vear were $3575 and the expenditure $3425.Lt.-Col.Irwin said the Gsowski cup had passed out of the hands of the association, having been won twice consecutively by the Durham Field Battery.It Was proposed in future to hold the garrison ariillery competitions at Halifax, His Excellency Speaks, A vote of thanks was, upon motion of Lt.-Col.Turnbull, tendered to His Excellency the Governor-General for hig attendance and continued interest in tha association.In reply His Excellency after thanking the association for its kind words, expressed the pleasure with] which last year he bad seen the work done at the Island of Orleans meeting.He praised tbe manner in which the camp had been prepared, and expressed his plessure at the concessions made to the Maritime Province batteries.The change in the Ministry of Militia was referred to, Mr.Bowell being dee scribed a8 \u201cone of the most efficient Ministers in another department of State,\u201d who would be gure to do good work for the force.His Excellency urged Mr, Bowell to see that the small sum voted by Parliament for rifled ordnance should be judiciously expended.Situated a8 Canada was it would be a very serious matter, which he couid not recommend, to embark on a large expenditure for heavy guns, but stiil the guns now possessed by the Canadian branch of the force would bear improvement, The Minister ot Militia Was tendered a vote of thanks for assistance granted in the past, and was elected a vice-patron of the association.In response.Mr.Bowell stated that he bad come to tbe conclusion that the artillery arm of the service required as much, if not more, consideration by those in authority as the other branch.He promised to do all he could for the orce.Sterna Words From the General, In moving the election of Lt.-Col.A.E.Curren, A,D.C.of Halifax, a8 president, Major General Herbert took occasion to praise the artillery as the most efficient arm of the service, It had not degenerated into a parade and march- past like other branches of the force, They had, however, suffered from one unfortunate practice, \u201clargely due to faulty administration,\u201d by which batteries bad gone Into camp without she proper equipment.He could not agree 10 the proposal in the report that the period of training should be extended beyond 12 daye, \u201cso long as half or two- thirds of the militia of the country remains undrilled every year.\u201d He would be ready, however, to advocate that the men should be paid while they.wers out in camp: i.Et-Col.F.S Moore, of Charlotte*own, was elected a vice-president in place of Lt.-Col.Curren; Lt.-Col.A.A.Siewpn-en, Captain W.McRae and Capt, Biiss wera elected members of council; aud, after a vote of thanks to the retiring president, the meeting adjourned.-_\u2014\u2014 For Over Fifty Years, Mrs.Winslow\u2019 Soothing Syrup has een used for over fifty ears by millions

IN THE WEST.Savage Canines Make : Themselves a Nais- ance in the Lake of the Woods Regions.In the Lake of the Woods country, which may be described as a wilderness of forest, rock, and brushwood, a race of wild dogs have established themselves and are increasing in numbers so rapidly that fears are eatertained tha\u2018 the animals will yet become troublegoms, When the Canadian Pacific railway was under comstruction the camps of the workmen had, of course, to be frequently moved, and dogs were often left behiad, and eventually, like wolves and foxes, found means of sustaining themselves.The animals are large, lean, short-haired, and generally red or red and white in color.They are exceedingly wild, and fly on the approach of man.In winter they live by catching rabbits that abound in the wilderness of brush woed; in summer the wild dogs catch fish that crowd the smaller streams tat connect inland lakes.The Indians detest the wild dogs, as they pursue game and take the bait from traps, and are a general nuisance.Sometimes a wild dog is taken in a trap that has been set for other animals, but the beasts are exceedinly cunning, swift and watchful.A race of wild dogs is said to exist in Newfoundland, keeping near the coast, and subsisting on what the sea casts to the shore.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Saffering Children, South Side, Whycocomagh Bay, N.S, \u201cMy little

deep interest to all who discourse of equality and right.Those extra ounces remain more or less a stumbling block to the ua- wary.Metaphysical justice refuses to re- : gard them other than iniquitous, Yet certain structural differences escape such close scrutiny, notably that of the knee.| The structure of the knes feminine com- stitutes in itself a permanent disability for many masculine pursuits, says a writer in the Medical Record.The knee joint in women is a sexual characteristic, as Dr.Ely Van de Walker long ago pointed out.\u2018 Viewed in front and extended the joint in but alight degree intercepts the gradual taper into the leg.Viewed in a semi-fixed : Position the joint forms a smooth, ovate spheroid.The reason of this lies in the smallness of the patella in front and the narrowness of the articular surfaces of the tibia and femur, which in man form the lateral prominence, and this is much mom perfect as part of a sustaining columm Muscles designed Lo keep the body fixed upon the thighs in an erect position labor under the disadvantage of shortness of purchase, owing to the short \"distance\u2014 compared to that of a man\u2014between the crest of the ilinm and the great trochanter.A man has a much longer purchase in the leverage existing between the trunk and extremities than a woman.The feminine foot, comparatively speaking, is less able to ens- tain weight than that of a man, owing to its shortness and the more delicate structure of tarsus and the metatarsus.Women are not well constructed to stand many hours consecutively and every day.It is safe to affirm that they have instinctively avoided certain fields of skilled labor on purely anatomical grounds, in which the smaller quantity of brain substance proves less an adverse factor than the shallow pelvis, the peculiarity of the knee and the delicate nature of the foot.These, as parts of a sustaining column, undeniably leave something to be desired.Even the right to vote would not confer on womankind the right to be soldiers.Equality, it appears, is quite as much an affair of the knee as of brains.Horrors of Progressive Paralysis Speaking of the prevalence of paralysis a Los Angeles physician told us the other day that the most trying time in all his experience was during the last five weeks when he stood hopelessly by and saw a poor ranch- man near Puente die by inches by what is known as progressive paralysis.The patient was first taken in one big toe on the left foot, says the Pomono Progress.In à short time thelimb was paralyzed to the knee, and the disease®crept onward\u2019 as the irresistible tide.Two physicians were called and all the known remedies were applied to stay the progress of the deadening attack, but in vain.Hour by hour death moved on its victim, The patient was proped up in an arm-chair and fully realized his condition.He awaited the and with the coolness and bravery of a martyr.As the line of death crept nearer and nearer his heart he made calculations as to how much longer he would live.He said: \u201cNow it has reached by body,\u201d indicating the exact place with his finger.In alittle while he said : \u201cIt has reached the bottom of my lungs.\u201d Another short wait and he said faintly : \u201cIt has touched my heart,\u201d and he fell over dead! The manliterally died by inches.Nothing more horrible can be imagined than the family of that man and his physicians standing by powerless to help him.Death was as certain as that a lighted fuse will ignite a powder blast.Yet that victim, in the fll possession of his senses, awaited the end calmly.His resignation and coolness in the face of certain death were 30 remarkable that our informant says he never can forget the occurrence.Humble But Successful Authors.The men who make the most money by their pens are not always known to fame.The periodicals that pay the highest prices.for fiction and special articles are not those that give the writer a reputation in the world of letters.I have a friend who makes §10,000 a year writing stories of adventure for a sensational weekly.He isa poet of no mean ability, and when he feels that he would like a little applause he sends & poem to some leading magazine.Only his most intimate friends know that \u201cPen.dragon,\u201d of the Youth\u2019s Weekly Thrill, is the long-haired, romantic-looking man who listens at the Authors Club to the flattery of those who think that the highest success in life consists in having a poem printed in the Ceatury, Harpers\u2019s, or Scribner's, Another man I know gets $25 a thousand words from a weekly that is read in thousands of kitchens throughout the country.He is a highly educated man, but he must earn his living.He makes at least $8,000 a year.He was recently offered a college professorship at a salary of $2,500.But he could net afford it.These men will never go down to posterity as great novelists, but, to use a vulgar expression, they get there all the same.\u2014Pittsburg Leader's New York Letter.ee Canada\u2019s Indian Policy.I have read General Custer\u2019s theory that the United States had to do with meat-eat- ing Indians.whereas the Canadian tribes are largely fish-eaters, and I have seen ten thousand references to the better Indian policy of Canada; but I can see no dider- ence in the two policies, and between the Rockies and the Great Lakes I find that Canada had the Stonies, Blackfeet, and many other fierce tribes of buffulo-hunters, It is in the slow, close-growing acquaintance between the two races, and in the just policy of the Hudson Bay men toward the Indians, that I see the reason for Canada\u2019s enviable experience with her red men, \u2014 From \u2018Talking Musquash,\u201d by Julian Ralph, in Harper's Magazine for March, \u2018Why So Many Men Are Bald.One reason why se many men are bald- headed is that they keep their hair cus short, causing it to \u201cbleed\u201d to death in a few years.Long hair lives longer than short hair.There has never been a nation with more baldhesds in it than thers are now in the United States, where à close \u201cshingle\u201d is the prevailing hair cut.\u2014Gal- veston (Tex.)

THE COMING HERALD.\u2014 The numerous friends of The Herald \u201c Councillors and 41 M.P.PJs.will be gratified to learn that arrangements, now in progress, will doubtless be goon completed for the establishment and publication of the paper on old Liberal lines, by a company of gentlemen well able to give effect to their determination that The Herald shall in the very near future occupy a

proposing a resolution to the effact that, \u201cwhen Great Britain admits Canadian products on more favorable terms thaa foreign products, Canada will be prepared to give a corresponding advantage by reducing the duties imposed on British manufactured goods.\u201d How glad the British people will be fo hear of this unexampled spirit of generosity.How pleased they will be to find that foreign skies, and a large admixtura of foreign bloo?, have not changed the old Spirit that caused Napoleon to call Britons a nation of shopkeepsrs.They will perhape regret to see that, while the spirit is there, the sbrewdness that used to guide it is evideatly wanting, The model taken for this prorosed trade is not that Wbich regulates modern dealings, where it is a well proved axiom that trading hss to be mutually advan tageous, if it is to prosper.It seems xather a survival of the days of our first dealings with the red-man, when a fow beads, a jacknife and a hatchet or two, were considered equivalent value for a tract of land about the s'ze of 8 modern county.It does notseem calculated to take the eye of either of the two classes into which Britain may be roughly divided, the agriculturists and the manufacturers.To give Canadian pro ducers of food stuffs some advantage, denied to other nations, would appear to the former like subsidizing a formidable opponent to their o #n interests, already sufficiently depressed; and it mast mot be forgotten that while Britain is generally regarded as only a manufacturing country, the landed and agricultural interests form a very powerful factor im her politics.Tae manufacturing and working classes, to whom the proposition mainly appeals will be likely to receive it with shouts of laughter.What! increase the cost of food stuffs and offead the sixty five millions of the United States in order to appease the five millions of Canada?Coming to particulars they would show that taking round numbers, in 1889 the total value of goods imported into Great Britain was £427,000,000 and the teal exports of \u201cBritish produce\u201d £250,000,000, making a grand total of £657,000,009.Of this amount the imports from the whole of British North America were £12,000,- 000 and the exports to B.N.A, £8,000,000.In the eyes of Britons then Mr.McNaiil\u2019s Propcsition means that to foster and increase customers who deal with them to the amount of twenty millions they should run a chance of serious injury to customers who trade with them to the amount of over six hundred millions: This is the problem before them, and, if ever they dererved the name of a nation of shopkeepers, we are qaite justified in denouncing Mr.McNeill\u2019s reqolution as a \u2018mere waste of the time of the Dominion House of Commons.Gf.UNION OF THE MARITIME PROVINCES.The New Brunswick Legislative As sembly, by a practically unanimous en- dorsation of the principle of legislative union of the Maritime Provinces, has shown in & striking manner that its members are capable of rising from the marrow issue of provincialism to the broader sphere of patriotism.Canada generally may be said to have suffered from being overgoverned, but there are pecularities in the circumstances that render it difficult fo carry out the amalgamation necessary for legislative union withthe other provinces.Thera are for the present almost insuperable objections to such union between Quebec and Oatario, and distance alone would render such union almost impossible with the far away provinces of the west or of the Pacific Coast, In the case of the Mantime Provinces a 1 the facts are, however, in favor of Union, and, in their case, union would undoubtedly mean strength Their position in regard to each other, the smallness and homoganeity of the popu- Iation, their common interest and the demands of prudence and economy all point in the same direction.The absurdity of maintaining three Lieutenant- Gorernors, three miniature houses of peers and three Houses of Commons, with all the expensive machinery of three separate governments sand the triple ornamental officials entailed by such divisions for a population of less than one million is self evident.There is not even the excuse of vast terntories and diverse interests that might be pleaded for the sparsely settled provinces of the Northwest; in fact no argument but that ofblind adherenee t> the traditions of their fathers can be brought forward in favor of the present arrangement, We have not all the necessary figures from the census of 1891, with which to institute compari- gons, but, unfortunately, the population of the Dominion has been go little altered during the last decade that the figures of 1881 are practically near enough, At that time Nova Scotia pessessed à population of 440,572, and had 17 Logislative Councillors and 38 members of the Legislative Assembly.New Brunswick had a population of 321,233 with 17 Prince Edward Island had 108,981 inhabitants with 13 Councillors and 30 M.P.Ps: The total of the three provinces shows a population (f 870,786 with 156 legisla- ors, or one in about 5600.Ontario at the same time had a population of 1,620, 851, with cnly 90 M, P.P.s, and mo councillors; an average of one legislator to 18,000.If we take area the contrast is still more striking, for the area of tho three provinces is 50,800 square miles, while Ontario has 222,000.In every possible way of looking at it & union of the Maritime Provinces; with a consequent cutting down of the expensss of Government, would seem highly desirable in the interest of everyone, but a fow lawyers and professional politicians \u2014 THE DESISION oF the U.S.committee, on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, to recommend the free admission to Amer- icam registry of ships built In foreign countries after Jany.1, 1893, is another blow.at the whole protective system.If passsd it will array the entire shipbuilding interest of the United States against such duties as enhance the cost of their raw material.How ean they be expected to compete against foreign ships if they have to pay the higher rate of American labor and also to pay through the rose for almost every ounce of material used in their construction?The labor difficalty it is alleged is over- coma by the superior adaptabilitv of American workmen and improved machinery; but what about the cost of raw material?The fact is protection is like a house of cards.It must be taken as it stands, for any attempt at alteration endangers the whole ediâca.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Tue TiN Prate Consumers\u2019 Association of the United States while exolodtng the notion that the McKinley tariff has had the promised effect of building up a large tip plate industry in ths United States, does not seem thoroughly posted on the subject.Their repor: says that the preduction of tin plate ia the Sta:es is less than one per cent of the consumption, and \u201cconsists largely of terne plats\u2019 made from imported sheets of iron or steel.Now it has been shown that beyond a few samples there has been actually no production whatever of tin plates.Terne plates which they hava noaccountably mixed up with tin plates in their report, are in fo ssnse of the word tin plates and could be mana- fsetured just as well \u201cif tin were unknown in the world.\u201d Terms plates are simply \u201cleaded pistes\u201d and are often called by that name in commerce.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Tae FIRST Ar of the DeBoucherville Government, in vigorously pruning oat useless and supernumerary officials, will recommend itself favorably to the Liberal party, If this reform is carried out honestly, and the present appointees are not meraly turned out to make room for nominees of the new Government, this a step in the right direction.Waen tha whole civil service has been pretty well hauled over, the abolition of the legislative council, the cutting down ofall purely ceremonial officials, and the reduction of the sessional indewmnities to the same amount as those paid in the richer sister Province of Oatario should naturally suggest themse:ves.The commission on internal economy should have their hands fall for a time, and square dealing in this connection should vastly simplify the departmental work of the Government and eff ct a great saving to the finances of the Province.The compnsi- tion of the commission, however, forbids us expecting too much, and, while ready to welcome all real reforas, it prevents us from showing any exultation in advance.tlre IF TRE CORRESPONDENCE between the Canadian and American Governments, as published yesterday, really represents the whole of the business, it completely shatters the hope held out at one time of arrangements to improve and facill- tate trade between the two countries, lt is à most remarkabie thing about the document that the very subject which was first in Canadian minds, an attempt at trade reciprocity, is not even alluded to.The definition of the Alaska boundary, on which much stress is laid, does pot seem to be a very pressing question at present, and mutual wrecking facilities and interchange of fishing privileges, though interesting to certain clagses, are not weighing urgently on the national mind.Perhaps the trade question is one from which Myr.Blaine refused to raise the seal of secrecy, and we may be startled some day by a broad measure that will completaly diah the Grits.For the present, however, we must confs:s to much disappointmant.mms THE MONTREAL HERALD, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1892.o the Canada Smooth-bore Assaciation, is what is called by Scotchmen an \u201cower true joke,\u201d The weapons carried by the Canadian militia might have been very formidable at the time of Montcalm, but against

delivered a couple of addresses in Huron during the campaign, has ad- dreesed an open letter to Mr.Laurier, i 1 whicn he advocates the acceptancs of a platform of free trade with the world, and direct taxation.This is virtually what the great bulk of the Liberals have been in favor of for some time, and is only tbe extension of unrestricted reciprocity to a broader basis.For years The New Era has advocated \u201c free trade with all tbe world and direct taxation,\u201d so that it is no new idea.The weak spot, unquestionably, of th unrestricted reciprocity platform was the possible discrimination against Eag- lish imports.An argument that might be advanced against free trade 1s the aseumption that the States would avail itself of our merket under free trade, but would not allow us to use theirs, and there may be some force in it, because of contiguity to the republic.But over and above this stands the first principle of getting onrgelves on a proper economic basis.England is the nearest approach to free tra\u2019e there is in the world, and she threw open her markets, regardless of what any other country would do.So Canada might with great benefit to herself adop' free trade ro ma'ter what the Unitad States would do, As to direct taxation, our readers know perfectly well that we are beartily in sympathy with it.In brief, it is cheaper than our present methoi of raising the revenue; it is much more satisfactory ; it is easier understood ; it is right.By all means let us have both these progressive reforms and the quicker we get them, the better for every resident of the Dominion, tel The London Elections.Toronto Globe : The charge against Judge Elliott is that he is an offansive partisan and that under the forms of law he has committed a gross

Feedlag Association Meet, The first meeting of the Ensilage and Economic Stock Feeding Association of Canada was held yesterday, commencing at 10 a,m.under the presidency of Mr.William Ewing.There was a large attendance of farmers and those interested in farming and the use of ensilage.The president, in opening, explained the formation of the society.It was the with of the committee that the society\u2019s membership should extend throughout all central Canada.He explained how the day had gone by when the \u201c book farmer\u201d was a term of reproach.What was wanted was theory carried out with practice.He spoke of the benefit of experimental farms, and urged a fair trial of experiments to the farmers present.He hoped that great benefit would be derived from the present meeting.He then introduced Prof.Robertson, of tha Ottawa Experimental Farm, who gave a long and insiructive payer, illustrated by several diagrams, He answered a great many questions put by the farmers present, wno were surprised at the results of some of the experiments which had been made at the Govera- ment farm.The afternoon session was also largely attended.The first paper on \u201cGrowing Corn for Ensilage,\u201d by Rev.Mr.Charest, wae a very 1nteresting and instructive one.The reverend gentleman answerad several questions, as to the variety of corn which makes the best ensilage.Mr.C.D.Tylee then read a paper on \u201cThe Construction of the 8ilo.\u201d In the discussion that followed several of those present gave the results of their expsn- ences.A paper by À.E.Barnard on \u201c Preparing clover and other crops for ensilage,\u201d was next, and he clearly showed the great value of this method of treatment.He showed a sample of ensilage corn, which was put up five years ago, and which he says is just as nice now as when it was made, thus showing its great keeping qualities when properly put up.He also showed a sample of rough crop ensilage.Mr.M, Dawes then made a few remarks on \u201c Clover for Ensilage.\u201d After the Hon.Louis Beaubien deli~ vered a short addresa the meeting adjourned.There will be another session this morning at 10 o\u2019clock.M CITY

caste.Next week Lincoln J.Carter's scenic melodrama, \u201cThe Fast Mail\u201d will be given at the Theatre Royal.As ia name indicates it deals largely with the railroad and its incidents.The Niagara Falls scene is very elaborate.There are à multitude of minor effects that contribute to make the performance a revelation of realism.The whistles, bells and splashing are heard as the boat leaves the wharf.The sounds that tell us of an approaching train herald the approach of the freight and the fast mail train\u2014the latter rushing by with people gaz ng from the window at the heroine who has just saved her lovers life by fastening a letter to the mail pouch.The roaring of Niagara Falls is meard and the mist that rises from it is shown vividly.Through the kindness of Mr.Herbert Patton,

Against the Prisoner\u2014The Judge Charges Strongly agalast the Prisoner, but the Jorys men Had Different Views\u2014The Verdict à Surprise.The Court of Queen\u2019s Bench resumed at 10 o'clock yesterday morning.The Hoon.Judge Buby presided, and the Crown was represented by Messrs.M.J.F.Quinn, Q.C., aod J.L.Archambault, Q.C.Notwithstanding the extra outside attractions of St.Patrick\u2019s day the court room was densely packed by those lntere ested in the Carmody trial.The Irieh national festival was strongly present, even in the court precincts the display of the * green immortal\u201d being partica~ larly large.On the deek in front of Judge Baby was a larze and imposing pot of tte - dear li:tle snamrock.\u201d Both Crown prosecutor Quinn and lawyer Ed.Gueria conducting the defence rported the « triple leaf \u201d on their coat lapels, and apparently the only ones present without avy green about them were the twelve good men and true who sat in the jury box.Lawyer Guerin was the first to notice th 8 fact and at his suggestion a liberal part of the court's own shamrocks was distributed among them.Un the opeving of the court, Joseph Mercer, who hag been found guilty at the last term of the court for refusing to support bis family, was called to the bar and sentenced to one week\u2019s imprisonment in the common jail.The Carmody was taen proceeded with.The cross\u2014xamination of Sinclair Mackay, which had opened on the previous day, was continued by Mr.Quinn, In answer to questions he denied that he had ever stated to Detective Cuilen, that thef two strangers, after getting the change, had crossed the road and joined Carmody.He had told the de- tectiv e the prisoner was looking into a tailor shop across the road when they went out, but that he had watched them go as far as Chaboillez squara, while Carmody was still a couple of doors from the tailor shop.He further said, in answer to the prisoner's attorney, Mr.Guerin, that Detective Cullen had threatened to preveut him from getting a Ticenee unless he appeared as a witness for the Crown.Mr.Harkins, the plaintiff, had also told him that he would go down sc me evening and spend a hundred dollars at his place, if he would help him to convict Carmody.In answer to Mr.Quinn, witness confessed that fourteen years ago he had been sent to Sf.Vincent de Paul Penitentiary for two years on a charge of larceny.Previous to that he had been confined two years at Dane- mora, New York, for helping in an attempt to break goal.\u2018Wm.Harsison, bartenter at Mackay\u2019s place, testified as to what took place there on the night of the robbery.Harkins was put out at 12 o'clock, Car- mody bad left about 11.30 o\u2019clock.The next morning Harkins came in with another man, whom witness did mot know, and said that Mackay had knocked him down and taken his money and that he had better come and gettle, Mackay was then absent.At the afternoon session Wm.Burns, carter, testified that on the night the robbery took place he met Carmody fon Notre Dame-street about 11.30 o\u2019clock, and drove him to Charlotte-street, Car- mody went into a house and cams out about 4 o'clock, witness having waited for him.It was about 7 o'clock when they parted.Carmody did not pay him then and had not yet.Paul Hemphy, another carter, testified tbat he had seen Carmody enter Burns\u2019 sleigh on the night in question.Detective Barrett, who had been called to the Albion Hotel on the night of the robbery, and who, while there, had seurched Mr.Grant, who had willingly submitted, testified to the helpless condition of Mr.Harkins, from eitherliquor or some other canse on that occasion.Mr.W.Grant, who had been in the Vendome restaurant on the night cf the alleged robbery, gave similar testimony to that of the witness Connors, he ard on the previous day.The only difference being that he named one Fitzpatriek as being also present on that occasion.Mr.Grant also refuted the story that he nad spoken at all to Mr.Harkins while in the restanrant.He only spoke to Mr.Mclean who was with Harkins at the me.Evidence, in rebuttal was then called.Mr, Harkins the first witness positively denied the statement of the witness Mackay, to the effect that he had offered the latter certain considerations If he weuld help to conviet Carmody.Chief Detective Cullen, swore that he bad never made any threats to the witness Mackay concerning the evidence he \u2018was to give in the case, .Detective Cullen was the last witness heard and the lawyers made their arguments in each case limiting their remarks to twenty minutes time.Bis Honor Judge Baby in his address wort atlength into the evidence charging strongly against the accused.In closing he said they could bring in three different verdicts viz, guilly of robbing, as charged in the first count; guilty of assault with intent to commit robbery; or guilty of assault alone.Regarding the count charging the accused with receiving stolen money, he said that was altogether outside of the case and that they could dismiss it entirely from their minds.The case was given to the jury at 5.20 o'clock and they retired.During the absence of the jury from the court room, speculation was rife as to the verdict they would render.The prevailing opinion being that the trial would result in a disagreement.After an absence of only ten minutes the jury re-entered the court.To the \u2018apparent surprise of the court, however, as well as many of the spectators, the jury on being challenged by the clerk of the Crown returned a unanimous verdict of

it is very light and durable and has a pleasant aroma.Large quantities are yearly exported to the states from the Eastern Townships.The hemlock makes the cheapest kind of sawed lumber; and it is stroag and durable when not exposed to the weather.It is used for rough work.The great value of the treeis on its bark which is invaluable for tanning purposes and brings from $7 to $4 per cord.The ordinary white apruce is found from Nova Scotia to the S:.Lawrence;it is used for building purposes when white ine is scarce.The sea or black spruce of the Maritime Provinces is largely used in the frames of ships, and when well salted is said to be almost as strong and durable as oak, It is also used largely for papsr making, Tamarac has fallen in valae because of the decline of ship building, but is an excellent wood not much inferior to oak and much more easily worked.The red or Norway pine is found scattered with white pine along the St.Lawrence and Ottawa valleys.It is a strong and elastic timber.The king of the forest is the white pine, the pinus strobus of the sclentists Ag an article of commerce it far surpasses in value and quantity any other wood.If supplies more freight for vessels coming into the St, Lawrence than any other commodity.1t gives more employment to wage earning men than any industry in our country except agriculture.It is safe to say tnat the value of the output of pine lumber alone produced in Canada is at least $25,000, 000, or two and a half times as much as that of amy other manufacturing industry.Of the deciduous tress mention was made of the beech, birch, white birch and the various kinds of maples, At the close of the lectures a hearty vote of thanks was tendered fo the lecturer by Mr.Jos.Little, himself a strong admirer of Canadian woods, which was seconded by the Rev.Dr.Campbell and carried by acclamation.tla.A Murderer 8ixty Years Old.INDrANAPOLIS, March 16.\u2014A special to The Sentinel says: At Kurtz, Ind., last night, Capt.Callahan and Elijah Pres- nell got into a row over a whiskey bill which Callahan claimed Presnell owed bim.Presnell denied the bill where- vpon Callahan shot him twice, the balls entering near the spine causing death in a few minutes, The murderer is 60 Years old and was confined in the county jail to save him from mob violence.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 Mr, Deacon\u2019s Trial Fixed, Nice, March 17.\u2014The trial 6f E w d Parker Deacon for the killing of Abeillel the Frenchman who he discovered in his (wife's bedroom, has been set down for May 16 in this city.PERSONAL POINTERS, B.Strauss, of Toronto, is at the Balmoral, JE.Alford, of Brantford, is staying at the Balmoral, Geo, Van Dyke of Lancaster, N.H., isat the Windsor.Hugh C, Baker, of Hamilton, is stopping at the Windsor.\u2018Wm.J, Crossen of Cobourg, is registered at the Windsor.David Barbour, of Glasgow, is staying at the Windsor.M.V.Wa the Balmoral.Ex-Mayor W.H.Howland, of Toronto, is among the guests at the Windsor.E.D: Eidy and William Tbompson, of Toronto, are registered at the Balmoral.W.J.Colvin, and C.A.Morison, of Chicago, are among the guests at the Balmoral.Mr.J.Carter, of the C.P.R.offices, Winnl- Bis doing the city.He is registered at tne all, er, of New York, is a guestat Sir George Baden Powell, one of the British Behring Sea commisioners, is the guest of Sir Donald Smith.Among the late arrivals at the Balmora are: J.À.Rolstin, Toronto;

desired.This afforded opportunity to hundreds who might otherwise have kept in doors, of display- log the shamrock, the green sashes, bows and everything else indicative of the Emerald Isle.Not for the past quarter of a century has there been such à display in honor of the patron saint.Numerically, the procession was perhaps not equal to that of former years, and it is to be regretted that there is a want ofunanimity of purpose amongs the various societies who turn out anna ally to do houor to St.Patrick\u2019s memory In the city of Montreal the society] of \u201cYoung Irishmen,\u201d is 600 strong, bus thrcugh some little internal discord amongst the representatives of the different societies the Young Irishmen were not represented in anything like their full strength.The members who did parade showed what Ireland\u2019s sons can accomplish in the way of establishing themselves as an influential element in any country where their lot may be cast, One of the most marked features of the day\u2019s proceedings was the universal expression of regret that the late lamented Father Dowd was no longer amongst the followeis of tbe patron saint.On ail sides could be heard people anxious to relate his many virtues.The day's celebration seemed to bring back memories of the past in connection with Father Dowd and all redounded to his praise.\u201cDe mortems nil nisi bonum;\u201d\u2019 there was no question about this, for no one could say a word against the late friend of the people.The Proeétsion.About nine o\u2019clock the clans began to gather.Ald.Patrick Kennedy was about the first on the scene, The new AM.P.P.was the master of ceremonies.He presented such a vision of dazzling splendor as hurt the naked eye to iook üpôn it, That collar of gold, about a yard broad and covered with golden shamrocks, was @ dream.Over this was a gold chain, about half à foot broad, and at the end of the chain there was à large Cross, studded with red and green brilliants, and which cerruscated in the sun with a baleful light like the gleam you see in the eye of one of Burnum\u2019a snakes.His hat was tall and shining like a mirror, and around the generous brim was as many shamrocks as would grow in an acre of ground.Finally he bestrode a horse whose spirit wes so warlike as to place the lives ot Her Majesty\u2019s subjects in some jeopardy.A proud smile was on his face.He directed his forces with the air and the eye of a general.Wherever he went there was a golden flash.Prccessions are never on time.There was waiting, and there was im patience, and there were wonder ful feats of horsemanship, which included unlimited prancing combined with a disposition to ride peopls down on the sidewalk.But it got started at last and the first man to enter St.Patrick\u2019s church was the redoubable member for the Centra Division.There were the St.Mary\u2019s young men, and St.Ann\u2019s young men, and all the Irish Tem~ erance and Benefit Societies, and the ackmen\u2019s Union.Theres was a troop of horsemen in green velvet jackets, and little boys upon venerable nags.Between the societies the bands were sandwiched, and right in the centre was a \u201crale ould Irish jaunting car,\u201d with six passengers ig corduroy suits and green stockings and shamrocks on their breasts.The horse was pranked out with green ribbons and rosettes, and it kept time to the \u201cwearin\u2019 of the green\u201d from the band, and it moved in a blinding blaze of green, Ths Hackmen\u2019s Union and Benefit Society, which followed the marshal, made a good turnout.They had a four-in-hand, carrying the handsome banner of the society, and the members were all mounted.Following came an Irish jaunting car, containing six young men dressed in the historic breeches and green stockings.A band receded the St.Anthony's Young en\u2019s Society, which was headed by a handsome banner.The members of this society wore very Preity medallions.The Christian rôbhers\u2019 School came next, and after them the Holy Name Society of St Mary's, carrying two banners.The St, Mary's Young Men\u2019s Society all had white badges, and a number of the members of St.Mary\u2019s congregation, with a banner, drove in the procession.Then came St.Gabriel's Temperance Cadets, followed by the St.Gabriel Total Abati- nence and Benefit Society, and members of the congregation of St.Gabriel.The St.Anne\u2019s Yonng Men\u2019s Society, with its banner, had a good turn out, and following it was the St.Patrick\u2019s the members in full regalia, and headed by the banner of the Society.Mr.J.J.Curran, Q.C., M.P., walked with St.Patrick\u2019s Society.St.Patrick\u2019s Total Abstinence and Benefit Society had turned out well, and was followed by the Irish Catholic Benefit Society.St.Anne's Total Abstinence and Benefit Society walked in the procession, also the Catholic Young Men\u2019s Society.Mayor Mc- Shane joined the procession at St.Patrick\u2019s Church, around which there was a large crowd collected to see the procession, which went direct to the church from Craig street.At St, Patrick\u2019s Church, S*, Patrick\u2019s Church was beautifully decorated for the occasion, the national emblems being everywhere conspicuous.Archbishop Fabre officiated at high mass, assisted by the Vicar General and Rev.Fathers Lonergan and Donnelly, At about 10 o\u2019clock the members of the various societies began to arrive, the first to enter the church being St.Patrick\u2019s, headed by the marshal-in- chief, Ald.Kennedy, M, P, P.Before the service commenced a selection of Society, | national airs was played upon the organ.The musical portion of the service was in excellent hands, the large choir being assisted by a full orchestra under the direction \u201cof Prof.Gruenwald.Solos were given by Messrs J.J.Bowan, J.P.Hammill, E.Hewitt, E.F.Casey, H.M.Bolger and James F.Egan.The annual sermon was preached by the Rev.Father T.Fahey, who took for his text the words from the 150th Psalm : \u201cThis is the day which the Lord bath made.Let us rejoice and exalt therein.\u201d The rav, gentleman said they were met to commemorate the anniversary of an immortal hero, one of the most exalted sons of the old Catholic Church.In referring to the ancient Irish race he said they were not an ignorant people.Bistory had shewn that they were thoroughly versed in various branches of knowledge.As soon as the light of Christianity dawned upon Ireland it spread with great rapidity and under the influence of the great apostle, St.Patrickyidolatry vanished like snow before the melting rays of the sun, Father Faboy urged his hearers to be constant in their fidelity to their faith, and in conclusion said: \u201cPreserve the light of that faith, It is a heritage from your forefathers; it is a beacon light on tha cliffs of eternity, guiding your national bark, baffling all the waves of this world\u2019s troubles, to the shores of heavenly rest and eternal happiness.I pray that Ireland may assume one day here her rank among the nations of the earth and that you, the children of St.Patrick, may preserve his teaching in your hearts,\u201d CONCERTS GALORE.No Lack of Entertainments in the Evenlag for Patriotic Irishmen, The Young Irishmen\u2019s Literary and Benefit Association have always contributed loyally to the entertainment of their fellow-countrymen on the festival of their patron saint.Last evening they surpassed all their previous efforts, and fudging from the crowded house, standing room being at a premium, and large crowds being turned away, their efforts in the past have been fully appreciated by their admirers.; Those who were fortunate in securing admittance carried away, very pleasant memories of Irish life in the latter part of last century, which was truly and faithfully depicted.The play was a dramatization of Samuel Lover's famous novel \u2018Rory O\u2019 More.\u201d The plot of the play lingering on an abortive attempt at an Irish rebellion, Ths principal character Rory O\u2019More\u201d\u201d was taken by Mr.Jas.E.Rowan, a young gentleman who did full justice to it, in fact in some of the scenes he acquitted himself in a manner which would not be discreditable to a professional.Mr.To- bin made a very creditable \u201c De Loen,\u201d and Mr.J.J.Griffths as \u201cDe Welskin\u201d eurprised his many friends in the audience by his perfect acting, being able, which amateurs as a rule are not, to take care of his hands.Mr, Colfer as Shaun Dhu at times did not appeat to be appreciated by the audience which is in ifself quite à compliment to his acu.Messrs.Lyons, Flood, McLeon, Daly and McMabon made the most of their opportunities, the former doing remarkably well in the scene where he is hiding his hoardings.Miss Cassie Foley as Kathleen surpassed the expectations of her many friends by her finished acting.This young lady possesses abilities of no mean order both as a histrionic actress and vocalist, and helped largely to the success of the entertainment, carrying the memories of the audience back to the happy days of their youth by her singing of several choice and well-known Irish balinds.Her s'\u2019ster, Miss Bella Foley, was also a success in the part ot \u201cNellie,\u201d and Miss Minnie Newman, as \u201cMary O\u2019More,\u201d left nothing to be deserved, while the part of the \u201cWidow O\u2019More\u201d was well taken by Miss Julia Newman.St.Ann\u2019s Young Men\u2019s Society.The St.Ann\u20193 Young Meu\u2019s Society gave a grand entertainment at the Academy of Music, which was crowded to suffocation.The chief attraction was \u201cRobert Emmett, the Martyr of Irish Liberty.\u201d The star of the cast was Mr.J.J.Gethings in the character of the Irieh martyr, Robert Emmett, and in this he acquitted himself very creditably.As aa amateur performance it reflected great credit on the members of the St Ann\u2019s Young Men's Society, who have frequently given proof of more than ordinary amateur dramatic ability.The play is a political drama in three acts, thorougbly descriptive of Irish life in by-gone times.The different characters were well sustained, especially tbat of the hero by J.J.Gethings, already mentioned, His delivery of the last words of Emmett\u2014 \u201cThe sun is bright to-day! It brings me death, but to Ireland it brings the dawn!\u201d was given with telling effect.As John Philpot Curran (the father of Emmett's betrothed), Mr.Thomas Jones was vero good, and called forih loud applause.The rest of the characters were well sustained, and the play throughout was a great treat, Previous to the play referred to, the members of the society gave a musical entertainment, which proved a source of amusement and enjoyment to the audience.The duett from * The Lily of Kil- larney,\u201d by Messrs.J.J.Rowan and T.C.Emblem, was a rare treat, and seldom bas the time-worn \u201cThe moon hath raised her lamp above,\u201d been more effectively rendered in any amateur concert.\u201c Let Erin remember the days of old,\u201d was effectively rendered by the chorus.Mr.Thomas Gleeson took the audience by storm by hig rendition of \"I\u2019m Irish and am proud of it too,\u201d and was rapturously encerad.Altogstser the entertainment was pleasing to the audience and must have been satisfactory to the performers.St.Patriek\u2019s Soclety Concert, The Academic Hall, under the church ot the Gesu, Bleury-street, was filled to its utmost capacity, the occasion being the annual concers given by the St, Patrick\u2019s Society in aid of the poor.Besides a well selected program of vocal and instrumental music, recitations, etc, addresses were delivered by the president of the society, J.Carran, Q C, M.P, J.D.Hazen, Esq, M.P, and Sir John Thompson, Minister of Justice It is mat often such a feast of music and eloquence is compressed within the limits of one evening\u2019s entertainment, and that given last ovening by the society will long be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to be present, Among those who occupied seats on the platform were : The president, Sir John Thompson; His Lordship, Mayor McShane; Consul-General Knapp, J D Hazen, M P, Senator Murphy, Patrick Kennedy, M P P, and Mr Cross.Tue vres dent, on behalf of the society, tendered those present a hearty welcome.Un former occasions he had taken the opportunity to refer to the history of the old land.To-night, however, he wonld not dwell on that subject, as Mr, Hazen, a liberal and broad minded statesman, would address them, and later on in the evening they would have the pleasure of listening to Sir Jobn Thompson, tue able and daservedly popular Minister of Justice.\u2014(Cheers) The voeal and instrumental part of the program was then commenced.The next item on the program was an address by J.D.Hazen, M.P., who spoke for About half an hour and proved to be an able and pleasing speaker, Later on in the evening Sir John Thompson delivered an address appropriate to the day.,The Minister of Justice received a most enthusiastic and cordial reception, and spoke briefly but eloquently, Among those who took part in the entertainment, and who acquitted themselves with credit were : Miss Graham, A G Cunningham, Miss Belle Boyd, Mr Holland, Masters T and E McCrae, Mrs Bergeron, H C St Pierre, and Miss Rubenstein.Prot A P McGuirk presided at the piano.St.Mary ©.Y.M.8.Concert, The lecture ball ot St.Mary\u2019s Church corner of Panet and Craig-streets was

in St.Patrick\u2019s Day parade.The concert was in every way & most enjoyable success as the lengthy program was magnificently rendered.The feature of the evening however, was the lecture on \u201cIreland, her history, wrongs, trials and memories,\u201d bytke Rev.Father J.Greg.O'Bryan, 8.J, of St.Mary's College.The reverend gentleman, though a native of Halifax, has just returned from the Emerald Isle, and the pathos o his story of Ireland drew round upon round of applause from the touched and delighted audience.Father O'Bryan accompanied his lecture with stereoptican views of the scenes and incidents in the old land he so ably painted, and at the close, was voted the thanks of those present.Those who contributed to the musical portion of the entertainment were : ~The choir of

\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE O, P, R.AND G, T.R., IN TROUBLE WITH THEIR MEN, D THE G T.R.CONDUCTORS\u2019 CASE.met They Claim They Are Entitied to an In- erense in Wages\u2014A General Atrike Over the Canadian Pacific From Port Arthur to Donald, and All Freight Trains Tied Up, de St.Patrick\u2019s Day was not a holiday for everyone in this city.There were several places where business wag being attended to very strictly, and one of these was Room 39 in the Albion Hotel, which seemed to be the practical headquarters of the delegates of the Order of Railway Conductors, and of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, now 1a session in this city.When The Herald man entered the room the first thing that struck him was the manly physique of the delegates.There were present 28 delegates ;0 he conductor and one brakeman from eacn of the J4 districts of the Grand Trank Railway ; and a finer looking lot of men it would be difficult to imagine.If the delegates had been picked for their size and good looks, instead of for their pro- minerce in railroad affairs, it would have been ssid that the selection was a judicious ore, snd it can be safely said hat the max m of à healthy mind in a healthy body finds its practical exposition in the present gathering of railroad trainmen, \u201cI read the article in The Herald this morning with great interest,\u201d said the chairman, \u201cbut it does not go far enough.It is true we are asking an advance in wages; but we thick we are fully entitled to it.The comparative statements of earnings of the road for the past month shows increases of from $30,000 to $50,- 000 per week, and, if this be the case, why should not our just claims be recognized ?Do you know that the average pay of the highest grade of through passenger conductors running on the division from Suspension Bridge to Detroit 1s only $372.97 per year, or legs than $73 per month, and that there are only twelve men receiving this pay, while the Michigan Central Railroad, who operate the Canada Southern, and run pracuically over the same ground, pay $110 ver month?Local passenger conductors on the G.T.R.system, who are the hardest worked men on the whole road, only receive on an average $789.84 per year, or $65.82 per month.Through conductors on the northern division receive on an average $728,13 per year, or $60.68 per month, and their brakemen $463.90 per yesr, or $38.66 per month; while the bighest class of brakemen coly get $539.68, or an average or $44 97 per month.On the division tetween Toronto and Hamilton passenger conductors receive from $60 to $65 per month for working a heavier train than the M.C.R.pay $110 for ever the same ground, Is this fair?The Grand Trunk officials themselves concede that it is not.J bey admit that the men are worth better wages; but they hold that at the present time they are unable to ay them, There is a rolling mill to be nuilt here and the double tracking of the boad is not yet finished, and with this eavy expenditure In view they do not bee their way clear to comply with the strainmen\u2019s di macde.\u201cAs to our demanding a day of eight hours, I may say thatthe company have aiready r ecogpized such a day, so far as the cond uctors are concerned.Then why should tLe company date brakemen\u2019s detention time from 104 hours when they allow conductor's overtime from eight?Is not this unfalr?\u201cAs to our third request, that the present grades be reduced, { can only say that every man in the grade of the conductor or brakeman in the employ of the company performs exactly the same work and accepts the same responsibility whether he has been in that grade one hour or twenty years, and he isthere- fore entit'ed to thie same pay and allow- snces, If he was nut competent, the company would not retain him in that pesition one bour.How then does the fact that he has not held that position as long as some others militate against bis right to the same pay ?They do no more work than he does!\u201d \u201cWhat are we going to do next?That I cannot tell you at the moment.Our committee has failed as yet to reach any satisfactory settlement with the management of the Grand Trunk.The officials say they have these matters under consideration and that the general superintendent is willing to go over the road and rectify any cases of injustice he may discover, But he claims the right to be the sole arbiter 88 to what is just or what is unjust, and as the company have already had the matter under consideration for over twelve months without taking one single step to rectify our grievances, we can hardly hope they will do so now.\u201d At present matters look distinctly threatening.Two delegates were despatched at 2.15 p.m.yesterday to Mr.Stephenson with a demand for an interview on the part of the grand officers of the two orders, to which no reply has yet been returned at 6 o\u2019clock.TRAINS TIED UP, A Strike Over Fifteen Hundred Miles ef the C.P.R.WinNiPEG, March 17.\u2014The strike of the conductors and brakemen on the Western Division of the Canadian Pacific, which runs from Porc Arthur to Donald, a distance of nearly 1500 miles, is now on.About the beginning of the year committees representing the cone ductors and brakemen waitad fon General Superintendent Whyte, and asked him to grade up their salaries to the average prevailing throughout the Northwestern States, The minimum wages paid were in the neighborhood of $90 a wonth for conductors and $55 a month for brakemen.but aj radical increase was demanded.Negotiations between the company aud the men went on for some weeks, at first with every prespect of an amicable adjudication of the trouble, but latterly the relations became more strained, and finally a climax was reacbed yesterday, when the C.P.R, authorities promptly discharged about one hundred men on the ground that a conspiracy existed for the purpose of precipitating a strike.This action by the C.P.R.was followed by prompt action on the part of Garret- son snd Wilkinson, the heads of the orders of trainmen, who arrived here from the United States some days ago.They demanded the reinstatement of all dismissed employees and the concession on the part of the company of a compromise schedule presented by the committee on Monday last.This was refused, were ordered out over the whole division, Four gangs were allowed to take trains to terminating points.+ Traflic is badly handicapped, but \"is not at a standstill.To -day\u2019s pastenger trains arrived and departed, in dae order, but practically no freight trains are running.The Canadian Pacific authorities, however, are confident that in & week or 80 they will have enough men to renew traffic.This is the statement made to the public by the Canadian Pacific Railway: \u201cThe agitation among .the conductors and brakemen on the western division of the Canadian Pacific Railway, culminated in a strike last night at 12 o'clock, At that hour nearly all the conductors and brakemen who had not already been dismissed, and most of the switchmen and yardmen employed on that division, quit work.It is understood that this action was taken against the vigorous protest of a large majority of the men themselves, and in response to the command of the representatives of the brotherhoods in the United States, who have been hers for the past few days.There is little sympathy here {for the strikers in view of the wages that the men appear to have been paid according to the statement published by the company, During the busy months last year, freight conductors seemed to bave earned from $90 to $160 per month each, and freight braxemen from $60 to $130 each, and during the two or three dullest montbs of the year, freight conductors earned from $65 to $105 a month, ard freight brakemen from $55 to $35, and to the uninitiated it would appear that the company would find little difficulty in obtaining all the men they require at these wages.The passenger trains are all running, but no doubt the strike will impede freight traffic for a few days.\u201d Men Going West, Orrawa, March 17.\u2014The Canadian Pacific authorities here are gathering together non-union trainmen and shipping them to Winnipeg, A batch of about two dozen went off yesterday.FARNBAM, March 17,\u2014Nine complete gangs of trainmen left for Winnipeg by last nights express.They go to take the place of strikers.Van Horne\u2019s View.A Winnipeg despatch says that the day before the.strike was announced, Mr.Whyte got this despatch from Mr.Van Horne: \u201cLarge numbers of applications for trainmen coming in, but am in hope that the majoirty of your men will remain loyal to company and keep their places.Requested Mr.Shaughnessy twodays ago not to send forward any men until result known.In view uf your telegram this morning, however, have srranged to send forward best avaible men from different points: Wire quick how many conductors and brake- wen we may safely promise permanent places.Cannot get any to go unless sure of permanent employment, subject to gocd behavior.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014>\u2014\u2014 FORESTERS DRIVE AND DINE Court
