Elliott, upon the ground that it wus not according to the rules of the House, he begged leave to present a new one.A few mine utes later he moved tha: the petition be read, whereupon the Speaker said that he could not regard the matter as one of urgency.; Mr.Lister contended that it was a matter of urgency inasmuch as it wus unfair to Judge Eiliott to allow the charges preferred ugainst him to go without investigation any longer than Was necessary.The honor of the judiciary of the country required that an enquiry should be he:d as soon as possible.Ruled Out of Order, Sir Joha Thompson objected that as the matter was not one of privilege it could not be one of urgency.He admitted that the matter was one of great importance but Judge Elliott must wait his tarn unul his cass was reacued in due order.; The Speakerthen ruled the motion out of crder whereupon Mr.Lister moved that the petuion should be printed and a copy forwarded at ouce lo Juuge Elliott.LL, ; Sir John Thompson again objected that this was contrary to the rues ot the House, and the Speaker ncid ii to be out ot order despite Mr.Laurier's request that be should reserve his decision upon the point.; A few minutes later Mr.Guillet endeavored to secure & railway petition read, but Mr.Edgar objected that this Was aiso couträry to tbe rules.The Speaker heid the poiat well taken, and so the Liberals had their revenge.The Speaker presented an address from the Governor-General, enclosing further correspondence ia ref:reuce to tue Atlantic fisheries and tne dispute with Newfoundland.Major Hughes on the Militia, Major Hughes moved for a return showing: The corps of the actual militia that have been drilled,(a) annually (b) biennially and (c) trennially, in 1589-1891 inclusive; the number ot qualinied combatant officers in each corps; the number of provisionally appointed officers in eaeh corps, specitying those whose period for qualification has expired; the name, length of service and age of each commanding officer upwards otf 60 years of age; the aciual strength of and number of enlistments during the year 1891 in each of the permanent corps located in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick.In doiug so he said be represented the views of a large number of militia officers of the country who ieit that some reorganization was necessary.He paid à compliment to Bir Adolphe Caron for his management of the Miltia Department and to Hon.Mr.Bowell, the new minister, for his interest in the force.His sole desire wus to secure such reforms as would benefit the country.Going Into History.He reviewed the history of the forca since the old days of rifle companies, and contended tha: the country had lost money by the est ablishment of the military schools.Twice the good could have been done the force if the money had been expended in other ways.The schools were, moreover, foo expensive for country officers, who could not afford to buy the uniforms necessary.In the Northwest, while some of the force marched through the trenches at Ba- toche wearing white kid glover, while others faced the music in their shirt sleeves.Would it be said that the latter were pot as good soldiers as the former ?He argued in favor of a return to the old sysem, by which officers could qualify 1ustead of as now preventing those best suited from becoming qualified.Need For More Drill, He condemned the system by which a portion of the force was drilled only every three years and complained that many commanding officers were unable to drill their corps, and of the lack of battalion drill in camps.If the system could not be improvea it would be better to disband the whole foree and save the money expended.1he force should be so equipped that it would ve ready to march to the front 24 hours\u2019 notice.Any emergency that woulu arise in this country would be sudden.If the present system continued for many years more would become discrganized and would be Uselees for all practical purposes.We 8houid be able to put 300,000 men in the men in the field but we could not depend on more than 60,000.Snobbishness Must Ga \u2018One great evil of the present system Was the way in which officers who were perfectly useless from a military standpoint held on to their commands and positions simply for the presiige and distinction attached to the military position.He was opposed to the heavy expenditure upon the permanentechools, which seemed to bave been formed with the idea of making a email standing army wbich Canada did not wani.Last year over half a million dollars was expended on these schools, while only 8 quarter of a million was spent on the volunteer force.This was not what should be.If the money was spent on the volunteers the country would derive greater benefit than under our present system.In a Democratic country like this we bad no business to recognize military rank and distinction; snobbishuness and upstart dignity should not have the upper hand.It was said that an officer would not work with a nou-com who had à higher certificate than himself, That class of officers could very well be spared.The rural battalions of this country would insist on annual drille.Never More Efficient.Col.O'Brien differed from Mr.Hughes in hig views of the position of the forca.In his opinion the militia of Canada was never in so satisfactory a condition a8 at present and the officers were never as efficient.His experience of the old schools was that they wcre merely loafing places for yonng men who desired to put in the winter easily.He agreed with Mr.Hughes in the necessity for annual drills.Sucn a move would be most popular turoughout the country.The cost of the force to the country was, with all the excrescences which were creeping upon it, only 25 cents per head of the population.Among these barnacles was the Royal Military College which asa generaleducational establishmentshould not be charged upon tne militia force, School System No Good.Col.Amyot said that the schools had become an embarrassment to the force, inasmuch as the offi ers could not afford to attend the schools at the expense of neglecting their business pursuits.He would favor a return to ths old system of examination.It seemed as if the militia had been created for the schools and not the schools fr the militia.Col.Dennison endorsed a good deal of what Mr, Haghes had said.He, too, was in favor of a return to the old system of examination as being in the best interests of the force.He strongly supported the demand that the whole force should be drilled every year.As 1t 18 now, the country battalions were anjust- ly discriminated with.Minister Bowell\u2019s Promises, Hon.Col.Bowell, after promising that the return should be brought down, admitted that it wae in accord with many of the observations made by previous speakers especially in favor of drilling the whole force annually.He promised that he wonld ascertain 1f it were not possible to secure some, system by which officers could qualify and ob.ain their certificates without unnecessary expense beiug entailed upon them.He must confess that he was also in accord with the suggestion that the old system sbould be returned to, but he could not endorse his Democratic sentimen:s, for tbe essential basis of ali military organizations most be rigid discipline, Tue question ot the school uniform migut be remedied.He would always be willing t) receive suggestions in reference to the force, and promised to do his best to improve it and make it effec tive.If the Finance Minister would ask Pariiament for a vote of $100,000 more for militia purposes, he (Bowell) would be able to place the whole force under camp the present year, but all this was depvndent apon the revenue of the country.Major Hughes replied, and the motion was carried, Comæplalat From the French.Mr.Fremont, in moving for a statement showing the number of employees at the experimental farms and other particulars complained that no French Canadians were employed on the farms and that the bulletins were not issued in the French language until mauy mcntos atter they had been distributed in Euglish.8ir John Thompson assured him that if any such state of affairs were found to exist it would be remedied without delay Mr.Flint moved for returns in reference to sums paid the judges of the Baperior Court ot Quebec for travelling and hotel expenses in any other place than that where he was ordered to reside.Choice Government Muddie.Mr.Davies moved for the retara of s!l correspondence between the Government of Canada and the Imperial Government, or Newfoundland Government respecting the admission of Newfoundland into the Dominion, including all correspondence with the High Commissioner on the sub- jest.A return for all proclamations, reports, correspondence, etc., under which the products of Canada and Newfoundland have been exchanged free of duty since 1885 was moved for by Mr.Davies, who stated that he had looked through The Canada Gazette and had failed to find any proclamation on the subject.The Government had allowed the free admission of Newfoundland goods for six years without the authorization of Parliament which had ordered tne collection of these dutiés until & proelama- tion was issued suspending them.No such proclamation was issued, yet the goods had been allowed free importation.The Goveroment had no justification for its action.Fairly and Squarely Caught.Sir John Thompson said he was under tbe impression that there was no proclama'lon issued.He was glad to receive support in the action the Government bad taken in taxing Newf oundlan goods.Mr.Davies complained that the éu'y should not have been remitted contrary tothe law and in deference to the expressed wishes of Parliament which had declared that duties should be levied upon Newfouodland goods.The Gov- ernmen¢ bad taken this m atterinto its own hands and set the power ofParlia- ment at defiance.Mr.Laurier eaid it was evident that the law nad been violated.The Government should explain its position and not sit dumb under the accusations of defying Parliament.Their silence was a con- feasion that they had been derelict in their duties.If the country could not recover the amount lost in any other way it might be necessary to sue the ex- Minister of Customs personaliy, .Hon.Mr.Bowell declined to discuss the matter in the absence of the papers.Sir Richard Cartwright said it was evident that the Government had been moet derelict and had committed a most serious breach of the common law for which they ought to be held responsible, The motion was carried.Bad Business Methods, Upon the orders of the order being called Sir John Thompson told Mr.Gibson that no action had yet been taken in reference to the reduction of the canal tolls.Mr.Flint's bill fo amend the Canada Temperance Act was read a third time and passed.Mr.McMullen resuming the debate

House of Commons Yesterday\u2014Premier Abbott Makes a Speech on the Subject in the Senate\u2014He Thinks They Should Join the Dominion, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.Orrawa, March 30.\u2014Fresh light was thrown upon the Newfoundland dispute by a bulky return of correspondence presented to Parliament to-day.It comprises no less than 530 pages, nearly all type written.The history of the dispute over the Newfoundland bait act is well defined and it is shown that at the inception there was a distincs pledge given that its provisions should not apply to Canadian fishermen.On April 14, 1887, a committee of the Canadian Privy Council reporied upon the Newfoundland bait bill, the Minister of Marlue pointing out how its provisions would affect Canadian fishermen who would be discriminated against in favor ofFrench and American fishermen.The committee recommended that a telegraphic remonstrance be sent to the Imperial Government.This was done, and on April 20 the following despatch was received trom Londcn: \u201cYour fishermen are on the same footing as our own under the bait bill and no practical impediment in way of either, Our Government will give any necessary guarantee that this 1s our reading of the act, Advise Colonial office as sion 88 possible that this explanation is satisfactory.\u201d fsigned] THORBURN SHEA, Did Not Mean, to Interfere, On the same day this mesgage was received from the Atlornsy General of Newfoundland: \u201cWe learn with surprise and regret that your Government apprehend our bait act will interfere with Canadian fishermen, I am authorized to give you the fullestas- surauce that no interference ov hindrance, whatever of Canadiana fishermen was contemplated.\u2018The act wa necessarily framed 8) as to confer upon the Government discretionary powers in granting licenses to sell or export bait our only object being to prevent supply to foreign subsidized rivals, ullest rights and privileges of ail British fishermen to take or pnrchase for their own use as hither\u2018o enjoyed will be maintained.Plea:s communicate this information 10 your representative or agents in London to re- meve objectien 10 our act and promote Royal assent,\u201d On April 26 the Canadian Government sent this te'egram to Su.Johns : \u201c Objecttons are your bill compels license to fish or trade in fish, gives no guarantee and states no conditions of license.Limits of prohibition indefinite.Powers of magistrates and inducements 0 proseculors extraordinary, Appeal useless so far as saving veuture oT MtüsoD.Discriminatio.s tavor United States fishermen, Labrador and South and West coasts aud all this while Newfoundland has free fishing and trading in Cauada.\u201d Bait Privileges Withdrawa, On the following 12th of May Mr.Colmer telegraphed Sir Charles Tupper 88 follows: \u201cNewfoundland bait bill received, Royal assent comes into force next year, Herbert says Newlouudland Government give as:ur- ances that Canadian vesseis will be treated same way as Nowfoundland ones.\u2019 On April 18, 1890, Governor O'Brien notified Lord Stanley tbat the privileges of the bait act would be henceforth with drawn from Capadiao fisherawen.So soon as this was received a Strong re- morstrance was sent to England, and in reply a message was received from the Colonial Secretary stating that he did not perceive that the Newfoundland proclamation was ultra vires, A further remonstrance wassent to Newfoundland, but without result.On March 23rd, 1891,the Colonial Secretary of Newfoundland telegraphed that \u201cThe balt act, prohibiting supplies of bait to Canadian vessels.will be rigidly enforced this season.This notica is given s0 as to prevent any misunderstanding as Lo the intention of the Newfoundland Government.\u201d Could Hardly Believe It.Upon receipt of this Mr.Tupper wired back that io face of guarantées given by Newfoundland delegates in 1887, which were not withdrawn, he could not be- lisve the message to be genuine, but the Colonial Secretary replisd\u2014\u2018* Message is genuine.\u201d The next day Sir William Whiteway telegraphed denying that he had ever given any assurance on the subject in Loudon, but Mr.Tupper replied quoting his language at the London conference.Sir William answered that he tailed to see any inconsistency between his assurance and his Government's action, and complained of Canada\u2019s hustility to Newfoundland in isterfering with the United States Convention.On April 17 a further remonstrance was cabled to London,where the Islaud\u2019a Premier then was.8ir Charles Tupper in May last foresaw that retaliation must result from the digoute, for he protested to the Colonial Office against the new Newfoundland tariff act, and asked that it should not be assented to.Newfoundiand\u2019s Answer, In reply the Colonial Secretary said that : \u201cThe sections o act complained off do not race ET air ern nent of Newfoundland any greater power of discriminating against Canada than Reon: ferred by section 3 of cap.83 of the Revised Statutes of Canada.or the Government of the Dominion of discriminating against Newfoundland.In these circumstances Lord Knutsford does not fee] satisfied in direoting the Governor to reserve tne bill in ques- To this Sir Charles Tapper said that the clauses of our tariff quoted provided for a reduction of duty not an increase.On Jane 15 last Mr.Tupper wired to Newfoundland asking if Canadian vessels could obtain bait.He raceived the reply: \u201cPosition unchanged, regulations have not been relaxed;\u201d whereupon Mr.Tupper telegraphed to Sir Charles asking, \u201cCan notbiog be done by English Government?\u201d A monta later a similar query was sent to St Johns by Lord Sranley and a similar reply received from Newfoundland.Must Maintain Restrictions, Numerous enquiries coming in from Canadian fishermen as to their liberty to go to Newfoundland, a message was sent by Lord Stanley to St, Johns which elicitea this reply : November 21, 1891.Referring to your telegram of Nov.11, THURSDAY, MARCH 31 1892.3 CENTS.$6 PER YEAR.restrictions of export of bait fishes, my Government regrets action of Canadian Government in opposition to Newfoundland\u2019s proposed convention with United States of America and the persistence of Canadian fishermen in supplying French with bait to the injury of this cojony compels Newfoundland in self protection to continue tbe restrictions of ex port herrings.\u201d On Aug.4 last year Lora Kuutsford suggested that : \u201cAs the question was one of serious importance to both governments, it should be submitted to the fudicial Committee of the Privy Council.\u201d Canada accepted this proposal, and and November 2lst.sent a cace to the Colonial Secretary for submission to tha Judicial Committee as well as to Sir Terrence O'Brien, Governor of Newfoundland.Previous to this Canada had refused to accept to Mewfoundland\u2019s request that the Dominion should pass an act prohibiting the sale of bait to the French fishermen and vo insist in the enforcement of the Newfoundland act.The Whole (lontention, The leland Government refused the offer to submit the case to the Privy Council in a letter dated Dec.26 last, which i8 worth reproducing in full, &s being the first publication in Canada of the contention of the Newfoundland Guverntment.Itis as follows: \u201cThe rommittee of council concurs with the Secretary of State in the feeling of deep regret at th » stratned relations existing between the Government of this col 'ny and thdt of the Dominion of Canada, which, however, Her Majesty\u2019s Government cannot fail to perceive has been brought about by the hostile action Of the Canadian Government towards this colony.asummary of which is as follows, and the proofs whereof are in the possession of Her Majesty\u2019s Government : First, the Canadian Government used every effort to obstruct the passing of the bait act with an apparent determination to prevent this colony from protecting its In- rests Against its powerful rival\u2014the;French.After oblaining the alleged promise of Sir R.Thorburn and Er Ambrose 8hea in 1887, aud up 10 the present ti.ue, not a single step has been taken by the Canadian Government to stop the supply of \u201cbait to St Pierre and Mi- queloa from the Magdalen islands and other ports of Lhe Dominion or prevent Canadian fishermen from smuggling bait from Newfoundland to those French ports.The committee appreciate that this course of action has been pursued by the Canadian Govera- ment {row a'iear of wounding the susceptibilities of the)r French Canadian supporters in the province ef Quebec.The vital interests of their fellow-colonis's in Newfoundland are as nothing in ithe estimation of the Canadian Government wheu compared with tue support of the province of Quebec.Secondly\u2014The Canadian Government has exerted ils powerfal inflieace with Her Majesty's Government to prevent a convention being coucluded between this colony and the United States.it is unnecessary to refer more fully to iis aaverse action to Newfoundland in this direction.Thirdly\u2014L'he Canadian Government threatened in 1885, apparently for no other reason than to protect Canadian fisheries as against Newfoundland tu impose à lax upon fishery products of this colony, and this committee lieve that it was only deterred from so doing by the legislature of Newfoundland enacting in retaliation that upon such being imposed an additional exceptional duty would be placed upon imports from Canada, Kecenlly, however.at a period of the year, when exports of flour, ec, from Canadian ports are invariably suspended until the ensuing spring, and knowing that such exports had ceased for à while and that therefore retaliation by Newfouudland could not immediately affect any interest in Canada, the Can- lan Government placed a heavy duty on fish products entering ports of the Vorminion trom this colony.The amicable relationship which the Canadian Governinent expresses itself as being so solicitous to maintain would appear to be based upon the promises that Canada shali dictate and Newfoundland sabiit, This was clearly evidenced in 1587, wi, \u2018a negotiations were entered upon with the United States, when negotiations for reciprocal trade and à repres-ntative of the Newfoundiand Guvernment was excluded from tLe conference.Newfoundland has her bait fishes, They are of great value in view of her geographical position, but the Canadian Government would forbid her ava.llog of this inherent wealth to obtain concessions from a f.iendly nation because Canada has failed in her negotiations to Oblain like concessio,s.Again New- foundiand 1s \\hwarted 1n her efforts to restrict the supply of bait fishes Lo its powerful rival, (he French, because à Canadian political party is desirous of retaining French Canadian support aud unwilling to offend said supporiers by legi-lating against the supply of bait to French fishermen.As bes- fors intimated the anadian Government have now taxed Newfoundland fish products and the Governmen' of this colony is asked to passively submit: The committee fails see any ground for believing that the action of the Canadian Government is in any way influenced by a desire to foster a friendly relationship conducive to the advancement of this colony or for the interest aud advantage of the Empire, but on the other hand the committee is most unwillingly obliged to arrive at the conclusion that the Canadian Government is solely actuated by selfish motives in the course it is 10llow- ing, not the least of which is probably the mainterance in power of the present Dominion party.The committee cannot recede from the position it has taken, viz, to yield no point so long as the Canadian Government maintains its present attitude towards this colony, and the commitiee trusts that the spirit of justice, which is characteristic of a British Government, will prevent this colony being coerced into the adoption of a course of action which may prove most injurious to its welfare.The committee most respectively decliues to submil a case for the opion of the Privy Council, as it is convinced that the interests of this colony can bs b:st conserved by its endeavoring to maintain the position it has taken.\u201d Violation of a Treaty.À minute of Couacil, dated March 7, adopts a report made by Mr.Tupper, and orders 1f to be sent to the Imperial Government.It protests strongly against privileges being granted to Americans by Newfoundiand which are denied to Canadians, Mr.Tapper contends that the action of the British Government was solely in the interests of British rights in Arnerica, and asserts that Newfoundland is violating the treaty of 1818 by allowing Americans to fish within the three mile limit.He adds: \u201cIf the information which has reached this Government is correct, it \u2018appears that the Newfoundland Government is indirectly if not openly conceding privileges tothe United States contrary to the treaty of 1818 and which she denies to a neighborf British colony.\u201d & ne + Demands for a Settlement, The return includes some interesting correspondence between Mr.W.A.Munn, of Montreal, and Mr.Tupper in which the former strongly defends the action of Newfoundland and contends that Canada haa treated her sister colony unfairly.The last communication is one from Mr.Geo.Hadrill, secretary of the Montreal Board of Trade, enclosing a resolution passed by its council as follows : \u201cThat the coundl! is of opinion that all retaliatory legislation against Newfoundland should be withdrawn and that diplomacy should be trusted to arrange other matters; in dispute, andy further, that the Government should De suftained In its Opposition to a treaty giving rights and priveleges of this continent in the.B.N.A.\u201d inshore fisheries, which jointly with Newfoundland belong to the Dominion of Canada and immemorial usuage.Mr.Hadrill adds: \u201cAs the publication of this minute might be deemed inexpedient bv the Government, it has not been communicated to the newspaper press.\u201d Premier Abbott on the Dispute, Premier Abbott made an important speech in the Senate to-day in reference to the Newtoundland dispute.He denied that any Canadian vessel had sold bait to the Freneh fishermen and defended tbe imposition of duty upon Newfoundland products by the tonnage tax placed upon Canadian vessels in the Colony\u2019s ports.Newfoundland fishermen had ail their former privileges in Canadian ports and if Newfoundland did not apply the bait act to Canada and allowed Canadian fishermen to secure bait free as tne Americans do, the only difficulty would be at anend.He contended that the Bond-Biaine agreement was intended to discriminate against Canada but it was afterwards remedied by the Newfoundland Legislature enacting a tariff which imposed no higher duties on Canadian products than were imposed on American products under the Pond-Blaine treaty.But there was a clause stipulating that if Newfoundland lowered its vention, such decrease should apply ta the United S-ates.No increase could apply to the United States, however, and trerefore,if at its present session the Newfoundland Legislature increased the daties say on flour and pork and if the convention was in force, such increase would not apply to United States products and a ds 'rimination against Canadian products woud immediately be established.Wauted to Settle It.Nothing would bs more easier than to have inserted a clause providing that Canada should nos be affected by any such possible discrimination.By reason of the close relations which this convention would bring about between Newfoundland and the U, 8.and for other reasons, Canada thought it right to interfere to prevent the ratification of that convention and it was not ratified.Correspondence then passad between the governments of Great Britain and Canada, in which the former su:gested a conference in London between delegates of thetwo colonies and a representative of the Imperial Government.Canada accepted the suggestion.Hon, Mr.Harvey, of the Newfoundland Government, was then in London, but unfortunately left the day before Canada\u2019s accaptince was recived.They Should Join Us.This Government had since taken steps to press the suggestion on the New- foundiand Government which was now aware of our extreme desire to join in a plan by which the difficuliies betwean the two colonies may receive amicable and fair discussion and furnish a fair and just solution, It was the intention of the Canadiau Government to follow up tis suggestion with further endeavors to bring about & conference which may lead to something.He hoped a calm and intelligent discussion of the matter by 1nteiligent delegates supplemented possibly by a representative of the Brit- 18h Government might bring aboutsome solution of the difficulty.\u201cWe think that some time or other Newfoundland may think it to her interest to join us and round off British America,\u201d concluded Mr Abbott, \u201cand I hope the day 18 uot far distant when they may come to that conclusion.Difficulties of this kind impose obstacles to such an arrange- meut and might render it impossible.We hope that may not be the case, and that this difficalty will not be prolonged.From the first we made up our minds not to take any step to irritate Newfoundland against us.\u201d \u2014\u2014 LABOR TROUBLES, Rednction in

Their Aerial Ships\u2014Startied by the Use of à Search Light.BY CABLE TO THE HERALD, Sr.Pererssure, March 30.\u2014The presence of balloons over the forts and en~ campments in Polland 18 becoming more frequent than ever, and is causing much indignation among army officers, who are helpless to prevent military secrets from becoming known to tre German officers, why are known to be taking observations from a height that places them beyond the reach of any bullets aimed at them.One of these balloons from the German frontier recently appeared at Kovno.It hovered above the fortress there until the officers in command became 80 exasperated that he ordered some of the soldiers to fire at the balloou and if possible to bring it to the ground, but the range was too grest.The Germans continued their observations and when they returned whence they came.It is believed that the Germans have at last solved the problem of aerial pavegation.These balloons that have apyeared over various places in Poland are under perfec: central.They move in any desired direction and the wind currents have no perceptible effects upon them, Ib fact, in at least one instance, it is known that the balloon sailed directly against the wind.They Used a Search Light, A few nights ago the inhabitants of Warsaw were startled by an intersely bright light that fell from the sky upon the city.Nothing could be seen save a patch ot light tha: ended in a small focus.Buddenly the raz of light swept in another direction and when their eyes became accustomed to the darkness that followed they could -see far up in tue sky a balioon.Then it was seen that it was an electric search light that bad caused the brilliant illumination, and that the Germans were continuing their observations of Russian defences with its aid.The light was extinguished and the balloon, heading westward toward the frontier of Prussia, disappeared.Another bolloon was seen over the Proushkorf Railway Station.It re mained stationery for a time and then started in the direction of the fort works near Kelets where it hovered » While, when it returned across the frontier.Will Change Methods of Warfare, Reports of similar occurrences have been received from Sisnovilsy and other places along the frontier.Russian officials say that with manageable bat- loons the whole system of warfare wil} be changed.Itis gelf evident that none of thé present fortifications womd be able to witbstand an attack from above them.Shells conld ba dropped with almost unerring certainty and no city could defend itself from an enemy far up in the air, beyond the reach of any missile.Even modern cannon, with their great range, could not at present be used against balloons, for the reason that gun carriages have not been made that will

London\u2014The Meetings of Varieus Clubs of the M.A À.À.«~The Site Committee of the A.C.A.Frank Taylor, the colored pugilist of St.Paul, who has decided to remain in this city, last night opened a school for the instruction of the manly art at No.85 St.James-atreet, the quarters formerly occupied by Prof.Richardson.The place is nicely fitted up with gymnastic apparatus, and is commodious, enough to permit of à very large crowd training at once, The opening was a success, inasmuch as a hundred or more invited persons wers present and the instructor received great encouragement by getting several names of young men desirous of taking lessons.There were two settos last night.Taylor first sparred young Stevenson and afterwards donned the gloves with Budge Beaucaire, who recently met Smith at Ottawa.They were lively and well received.The place will be open daliy from 10 a.m.till 10 p.m., and the new manager intends making the business more of a success than any former instructors.TRE WHEEL, Ottawa Club Meet Abandoned, SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.Ottawa, March 30.\u2014The Bicycle Club will not hold their proposed meet here on Mav 24 as they caonot secure the Metropolitan

BALL.A Six Club League.SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.Orrawa, March 30.\u2014The Merchants Base Ball Club this city has been trying to form a league with clubs in Malone, Ogdensburg, St.Albans and Burlington but as vet nothing definite has been decided upon although all the places have been heard from.Such an institution would greatly benefit base ball in this vicinity but could not be successfully run through a season.A league which should be encouraged more than anything else 18 one with clubs of Montreal aud this city.À Montreal club has already suggested the formation of a six club league between the two cities and it is to be hoped three of the Capitals best local teams will take an interest in the proposition and arrive at a settlement on the question at an early date.CHESS, First Round in the English Master Chess Tournament.Lonnox, March 30.\u2014The first round in the English Master Tournament was played to-day.The competitors are Bird, Blackburne, Gupsberg, and Lasker.Mason, who had entered, withdrew at the last moment.The pairing for to-day brought Black- burne and Gunsberg together.The Englishman led off with a Ruy Lopez, aided by a few weak moves on the part of his opponent, who after 3.Kt\u2014K B 3, chose a new but unfavorable line of development.Blackburne soon obtained a superiority of position, of which he availed bimself with telling energy.Guns- berg stubboraly conterted every inch of ground, and connoisseurs pronounced the game to be one of the best specimens of tournament play.After a hard battle Gunsberg resigned on the sevantieth move, Lasker was pitted against Bird.The latter, in his pet defence, the Sicilian, obtained an excellent game, so that things look decidedly blue for the Berlin man.But instead of taking care of his advantage, impetuous Bird inaugurated % useless attack against the adverse king.Lasker scored after 44 moves.THE GDN, Champion Æ: D.Fulford Arranges Twelve Matches.CarcaGo, March 30 \u2014Champion E.D.Fulford expects to show the Westerners a point or two about pigeon \u2018popping soon.Fulford has by no means given up the idea that he can outshoot the Chicago excerts, and has arranged no less than 12 matches, all of which are scheduled for fixtares between Oct.15 and Nov.15.He will try bis luck with Budd again, shooting him three races of 100 birds each for $1000 a side.He will then tacle J.A.R.Elliott, of Kansas City, the conditions of the matches being the same.He has also arranged individual races at 100 birds each, for purses ranging from $150 to $250 each, with R.B, Wadsworth, A.J.Atwater, George Kleinman, Ed Bingham, George Hof- man, W.P.Mussay, and R.O.Heikes, of Chicago ; J.E.Haggerty and J.L.Winston, of St.Louis, and F.S.Pare melee, of Omaha.In a few days Fulford will forward a bond of $1000 to a gun paper, which will represent the forfeits to be posted on the 12 matches.The bond.which will be replaced by a cash deposit, will stipulate the forfeits to be paid by his opponents.TO ENCOURAGE TRAP SHOOTING.Medals Will be Offered Open to Any Amateur Club in Canada.To encourage trap shooting the Ham- \u201cilton Powder Company offers for compe- titlona series of gold and silver medals, cast from die made for the company, and of creditable workmanship and value, A gilver medal will be given any amateur gun club in Canada having 15 members or over, and possessing club property to the value of $300, on the secretary making application and certifying to these facts.These medals are to be shot for at inanimale targets, in regular clab matches, held not less frequently than once a month, at which at ieast seven members participate.They may, in addition to this, be open for competition at other times, at option of the club's executive commiitee.Club rales to govern and all questions to be decided in the manner usual with the club.The medal shall be entrusted to the care of the member winning first contest, to remain in his possession until beaten by some other member, who then receives \u2018| summer.it in the same way.The competition to open May 18t, 1892, and close May 1st, 1898.A record of the matches shall be kept by.the club, and on the secretary informing donors that these regulatio.s have been carried out, the medal is to become the property of the member winning it in the greatest number of contests.The Hamilton Powder Company, will, in the early part of 1893, give at leaet three heavy gold medals, facsimiles of the above.These are to be put up for competition, one in British Columbia, one in Ontario and one in Nova Scotia, and will be open to the winners of the silver medals in \u201cNorthwest,\u201d \u201cCentral\u201d and \u201cEastern\u201d Canada reapectively.They are to be shot for once, as an extra prize in some convenient tournament, and will belong to the person winning them under the rules of that tournmaent in a single barrel match.The medals will thus, in a measure, represent the championship of the three great natural divisions of Canada.Disputes are to be referred to W.Emond, of Toronto, ani his decision in all cases shall be final.TURF.There is Something in a Name After All, There certainly is nothing in a name, says The N.Y.Commercial Advertiser, as applied to a race horse, yet 1t is a singular fact that most ot the successful thoroughbreds on the American turf have raced under pleasing and appropriate names, Salvator, Firenzi, La Tosca, Potomac, His Highness, Fides, Ray del Ray, El Rio Rey, Kingston, Hanover, Loantaka, Barquet and Reckon are a few well named animals, but it is a fact that the late August Belmont and J.A.& A.H.Morris seemed to have the most appropriately named 2- year-olds, while Green B.Morris, David Pulsifer, the Dwyer Brothers and other owners seem to be always at a -lcss to name their colts.Col.Ruppert seems to appreciate a piciuresquely or aptly named horse, and all of Lis string are well named.For instance, his colt by Dandie Dinmont, dam Moonlight, js named Ajax ; another colt, by Leonatus, dam Viletie, Cœurde Leon ; another, à filly, by Hi Ban, dam Refraction, known as the Refraction filly as a 2-year-old, has Leen christened Senora.Otbers of his string are named Craftsman, Pensacola, Tallahassee and Olivia.Mr.Pulsifer has named one of Lis colts Donovan, after \u201cSnip,\u201d his trainer, and another Sir Peter, bat after Wah Jim (an animal, by the way, that wes named after the Ukbinese at Tenny Villa), one might expect anything.Even worse than an inappropriate name for a horse is no name at all.The late Mr.D.D.Withers used to believe that a colt ought to win a race before being named, but it does seem as if Green Morris might have given Troubadour's young brother a more attractive cognomen than Lis- Glen, even if his sire was Lisbon and his dam Glenlinne.rs CANOEING.The Site Committee of the Association Jones\u2019 Chalienge.The site commitiee of the American Canoe Association bas been appointed, and they will begin work at once to choose a place for the camp for next The committee is composed of Messrs.W.C.Huntingdon, of Rome, N.Y.; H.Howard Brown, of Albany, and W.E.Christie, of Montreal.Mr.Ford Jones, ot the Brockville Canoe Club, Canada, has challenged for the N.Y, C.C.Intsrnational Cup for the third time.He was beaten in 1891 by accidentally fouling a buoy, and in 1892 by being out- sailed.The races will come off early in the summer, probably on Gravesend Bay, and a keen interest is sure to be taken in the contest.It will be of interest to learn if Mr, Barrington, who won the cop last October, will again win the trial races and be chosen to defend the cup.He will surely enter, and up to date stands the best chance of winning the trials.In any event, the final races will be the top notch of canoe racing.MISCELLANEOUS, Meeting of Various Clubs of the M.A.A.A, The annual meeting of the affiliated clubs of the Montreal Amateur Association will be held on the following dates : April

Properly.New Yorx, March 30.\u2014Richard K.Fox, proprietor of the Police Gazette, arrived in town yesterday from an extended trip of several months through Florida.He went there in search of health, and found it.Mr.Fox was asked yesterday his opinion of John L.Sullivan\u2019s chances against Corbett.\u201cI think,\u201d said he, \u201cJohn L.will win that fight if he trains properly.The reports about his excessive carousing have been, I hear, on the whole, grossly exaggerated.Probably this will prejudice many of his old admirers.But with good care and attentive training he should knock out his man with ease,and in quick time, too.\u201d \u201cWhat about Corbett ?\u201d was asked.\u201cI don\u2019t know much about him personally, but I understand that he is an extra good man, shifty and nimble.He ought to prove a strong factor with these characteristics to his cre dit.\u201d General Sporting Gossip.Redfellow, J.P, Dawes\u2019 crack, who went wrong last fall with a navicular in.ury,

the track in shape for a meet in the fall, but they have decided not to have any races until next spring.Wi lie Shields, the young son of Alex.Bhields, is doing some good riding at Guttenberg.Besides piloting Logan to victory three times, he has had a mount or two on Merry Duke and other speedy sprinters.An effort is being made in Deloraine to organize a turf club, and with every prospect of success.It is proposed to make 8 good track on the grounds of the agricultural society and to affiliate with the Manitoba Turf Club.\u2014 \u2018Winnipeg irror.Last Sunday a man named Gilroy of fered a horse to a dealer in Newark, N, J., for $10.The price was so moderate that suspicions were at once aroused; and on making inquiries it was discov ered that the animal was the familiar Brighton Beach racehorse Brian Boru, who had been stolen.Gilroy was arrested and old Brian restored to his owners.Muldoon bas not secured the contract he so dearly longed for.Jim Corbett has decided thut he will train under his old friend and adviser \u201cBilly\u201d Delaney of San Francisco.Muldoon was more tnan anxious to take charge of the Californian, but after a good deal of bickering it was settled that the man who cared for Corbett when he fought Jackson would handle him again.2 A Great Mistake To pay 10c for a cigar when you can get Hero\u2014equal to any 10c cigar made Ask for them st cigar
