Montreal, Growth of Our Population.The growth of the population in Montreal is in itself an interesting study.As \u2018far back as 1659 it was composed of forty well built houses isolated from each other, but close enough for defence in case of attack; and in 1666 the population was about 584.Thirty years after the population had greatly increased, also the area of the city, which was at this time about a mile and a half long and about a third of a mile in breadth.It was in the shape of a parallelogram, and was divided along its length into three long streets.They were St.James, Notre Dame and St.Paul.At right angles to these were several others, among them being St.Peter, St.Francois, St.Joseph, St.Lambert, St.Gabriel, St.Jean Baptiste, and St.Charles.Most of these names are still retained.During the next 70 years, at the time*of the end of the French rule in 1760, the population was about 3,000, not much pro- ress having been made in the interim.In $300 the population had reached 9,000, and in 1809 it was about 12,000.From this time forth there was a steady increase.In 1825, the population was 22,000.In 1840 the number had increased to 27,297 ; in 1851 to 57,715 ; in 1854 to about 65,000 ; and in 1861 it was 90,323.At this time Montreal held the tenth place among the cities of North America, being also about 20,000 ahead of Buffalo.In 1871 the population was 107,225 ; in 1881 it was 140,747, and according to the Government census last yesr it was 216,650.These figures show the following percentage of increase: in 1861, 56 ; in 1871, 15; in 1881, 31; and in 1891, 39 per cent.The area of the city has not increased in ratio with the population as it now is only about 7,000 acres.It is densely populated, however, by reason of the climate.FIRST TOLL COLLECTED.President Harrison\u2019s Retaliation in Operation at the Soo.Sault Ste.Marie, Sept.5.\u2014President Harrison\u2019s order to the custom house officials here to levy toll on all cargoes passing through the canal to Canadian ports took effect on Thursday, and up till 6 o'clock on Friday evening one vessel out of & total of 62 had been taxed.This was the United Empire, which car- 560 tons of flour and a lot of mixed freight for Sarnia.On this she paid toll amounting to $112.She had also 684 tons of wheat for Port Huron, Mich., on which no toll was collected, as it was destined for an American port.That, out of a total number of 62 vessels passing the locks in a day, only one should be a Canadian bottom is nothing out of the common, and it is no indication whatever on the part of shippers to evade the toll by sending to American ports in American bottoms.On Thursday, out of 52 vessels passing through the canal, three were Canadian, and of these one was a C.P.R.liner.Plunged Into the Lackawana.Scranton, Pa., Sept.5.\u2014An Ontario and Western mixed freight was wrecked near Brockville yesterday.The engine and 10 MORE TROUBLE BREWING.Tennessee Miners Quitting Work and

company of military has becu ther, It now looks as though there will be u strike of all the miners in the Coal Creek, Oliver Springs and Jcllico districts.Gen.Carnes received a call from Oliver Springs for help.He again ordered the Harriman Company to go to the scene.EARTHQUAKE IN MEXICO.Fine Public Buildings Rendered Unsafe for Occupation.Guadlaraja, Mex., Sept.5.\u2014There has been hardly a day within the pust three months that this city bas not been seriously shaken by earthquakes.The shocks have been increasing in severity, and last night considerable damage was done by another tremble to the already badly wrecked buildings.The municipal and state buildings here were among the most elegant and substantial in Mexico, but the walls are badly cracked, and the lives of the occupants are in danger.It is believed the earthquakes are caused by the internal disturbances which are keeping the Colinia volcano in a state of eruption.A MONTREALER MARRIED.Mr.E.L.Leprohon and Miss Globensky United in the Holy Bonds.River du Loup Station, Que., Sept.5.\u2014 This morning a fashionatle marriage was celebrated at Fraserville Church.Mr.Edward L.Leprehon, general agent of the Massey-Harris Company, and son of Dr.J.Leprohon, Spanish Consul of Montreal, was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss Marie Blancye Henriette Globensky, daughter of C.A.x Globensky, seigneur of Mille Isles.The geremony was performed by the Rev.Mr.I\\lais, and was attended by the elite of the town.The happy couple leave by the noon train for Niagara and New York.RICHMOND'S FAIR.Fully Three Thousand Present on the Second Day.Richmond, Que., Sept.2.1892.\u2014Beauti- ful, cloudless weather has favored the second day of the Agricultural Society\u2019s exhibition.Fully three thousand people have been on the ground to.day.The best of order prevailed, and all connected with the exhibition have every reason to feel gratified at the results.At two o'clock this afternoon the grand march of the prize horses and cattle was made around the half-mile track of the Richmond Driving club in the fair grounds.The marshals, under F.T.Mappin, Esq., of Inglewood, led the way, and were followed by the Richmond brass band.The horses and cattle looked remarkably fine.After the march SEMMARY | Ncrosy op PLAN OF VILLE MARIE SNEWATE FIRST STREETS LARD \"OUT, AND PROJECTED , NAW STREETS AND CHURCH,

other persons were killed by the falling of the structure.| past, the trotting races of the Driving club were begun again.One of the trots Was marked by a little serious amusement.A spirited horse belonging to Mr.Arthur Wilcocks, and attached to a carriage, was for a moment during one of the heats without a driver, and took it into his head to join the procession.At a good speed, he nearly made the half-mile, keeping well to the track, and was fortunately stopped without an accident.If the animal knows as much about horse racing as your correspondent, it is possible.that he may have misinterpreted the \u2018free for all\u201d announcement from the judges\u2019 stand.The gate receipts for the two days amount to about 3800.00.A portion of this goes to the Driving club.The president of the Agricultural society is Mr.James Main, and the secretary, Mr.John Ewing, jv.Of the Driving club, Dr.T.H.Brown is president and Mr.J.A.Dalton, secretary.TRAINS IN COLLISION.An Express and Freight Train Crash To- géther near St.Catharines.8t.Catharines, Ont., Sept.5.\u2014Karly this morning, the fast express passing this city at 1.55 a.m.collided with a freight train at As there is a bridge at this point both trains were going slow, otherwise the accident might have been of a far more serious character than it was.The fireman of the express train, named Rodman, of London, jumped, but landing on the platform of the siding he slipped and fell between the siding and the train, and under the wheels, and his hand and one leg were severed from his body.The other engineers and firemen jumped and escaped without injury.+ The fronts of the two engines and the cabs were badly wrecked, also the front of the smoking car on the express train, but although the smoking car was pretty well filled with passengers no one was injured.The wrecking outtit was immediately sent Jordan station, seven miles west of here.| SHERBROOKE EXHIBITION.EXTENSIVE PREPARATIONS FOR THE GRAND OPENING TO-DAY.A Glance in Advance at the Exhibits Shows a Collection of Superior Excecllence\u2014 Sherbrooke\u2019s Superior Surroundings.[Special to The Herald.) Sherbrooke, Sept.5.\u2014Ideal weather greeted the management of the long looked for Sherbrooke fair on this the preparatory day of the great eastern towuship exhibition.Mr.H.R.Fraser is most energetie and has made a great mark in the exhibition business this year.In fact, as a farmer remarked to-day, \u2018Outside of Montreal there are only three great agricultural society secretaries, Mr.Hill, ot Toronto, is one, and H.R.Fraser is the other two.\u201d Larger, better, more attractive than ever, is what was advertized, and so it is, while the interest, instruction and amusement will be best seen to-morrow.The grounds and buildings were open this morning at 7 a.m.to exhivitors and their assistants only, and the officers were kept busy receiving exhibits, which were all placed in position by 6 pm It would be treason to omit the grand and lovely situa- CAGE LA 0 4 00 ASE AE =z, 7 G Ta - = Ch \u2014 PIT I raat |.=o AEP 2 AM RÉ LS City of Montreal From St.Helen\u2019s Is land, 1803.CA az for, and the track was cleared by 7 this morning.The body of the unfortunate fireman was brought to this city, where an investigation will probably be held by the coroner.The Northwest Crops.Toronto, Sept.5.\u2014The Globe this morning publishes the first of a series of special crop reports from its commissioner in the Northwest.He says the frost has not seriously affected grain at any point.In most districts the larger part of the wheat was cut and stacked before the cold weather appeared, and already more No.1 hard is harvested than the whole of last year\u2019s crop totalled.Speaking of the tolls of the Soo, the amount is so small that farmers are paying no attention to it.NO SUNDAY BEER.Proprietors of Parks are Fined Because Weiss Beer Intoxicates.The long-looked for judgment in the cases where proprietors of parks have sold liquor on Sundays was given yesterday morning.Judge Dugas said that he had come to the conclusion that lager and Weiss beer did contain a certain percentage of alcohol; the intoxicating principle was present.These liquors in order to be sold on Sunday should in no way contain alcoliol.He had no hesitation in coming to the conclusion that beer, whether lager or Weiss, fell under the denomination spoken of in the section of the statutes quoted by the prosecution, which said that no liquor containing alcohol should be sold on Sunday.There was proof that Weiss and lager beer contained two and a half per cent.of alcohol, and the statute declared these liquors intoxicating.He then sentenced the defendants each to pay a fine of $75 and costs.TO-DAY'S HERALD, To-day\u2019s Herald comprises twenty pages.tion of the exhibition grounds, overlooking the whole of the north, centre and south wards of the city with the falls of the River Magog in the centre of the picture, the Roman Catholic buildings on the hill to the eft, and the chain of the Oxford mountains, 18 miles off, forming a back ground.If lvisitors and inhabitants value not the beauty of the city\u2019s position, they must be a people without taste.The Exhibition grounds are not far from the spot where His Honor will lay the corner-stone to-morrow, and everything goes to indicate that there will be seen here as fine an exhibition of the varied products of farm, field, forest, mine and factory as has ever been gathered in one collection on this continent.Toronto and Montreal may display greater exhibits, but the quality of those produced and raised in this district are unsurpassed.Everything to complete on the grounds, and things seem is ae just longing for the multitude to look bt them.The most careful and thorough arrangements possible have been made to guard against fire.A detachment of the city brigade will be present night and day.While the danger of fire is very remote these precautions are commendable.There is an ample police force detailed for service by the city, and the sly fence jumpers and pilferers will be out of lack by night or day.Telegraph, telephone, express and post offices are also on the grounds.Ample restaurant and lunch rooms, also barber shops, baggage rooms, etc., are among the conveniences for young and old in this little world for the week.One of the features of to-day was the reception to His Honor the Lieutenant-Gov- ernor of the Province of Quebec at the Union Station, King street, at 9 p.m.He was cordially received by the civic authorities and a suitable address presented.This is an age of processions, and of course there was one to meet Mr.Angers.After a neat speech of welcome on the Be aure and see that you get all of it.stand erected at the depot, His Honor, with the military guard of honor in attendance, was escorted to \u2018\u2018 Mountfield,\u201d the residence of the Hon.KE.S.Brooks, whose guest the Lieutenant.Govenor will be during his stay here.Sherbrooke never looked prettier.Many of the most handsome residences as well as the main places of business are very tastefully decorated with electric and gas effects, as well as with a splendid array of Chinese lanterns.With three days more of fine weather this fair will cap the climax of the townships\u2019 fairs.FIRE AT RIVER DU LOUP.Benjamin Dionne's House and Stables Completely Destroyed.River du Loup, Que., Sept.5.\u2014At one- thirty this morning fire was discovered in the kitchen of house owned and occupied by Mr.Benjamin Dionne, but before alarm was given the house was in flames.Notwithstanding the incomplete organization of the fire brigade, the fire engine was promptly on hand, and did good work to save.adjoining properties, it being then too late 10 save Dionne\u2019s house and stables, which were burned to the ground, as well as small house in the yard.The next house, belonging to Mr.N.Pa- quette, was also badly damaged.Loss said to be about $3,000.Dionne\u2019s property insured for 1,500.Insurance not known on Mr.Paquette\u2019s building.It is believed to be the work of incendiaries.Soldlers Killed by Lightning.Vienna, Sept.5\u2014Heavy thunderstorms passed over a portion of Galicia yesterday.A form house at Mozzezanica was struck by lightning and set on fire.A number of soldiers were billeted at the farm house.Eight were killed and their bodies cremated, while seven others were seriously burned.Receptions to Hon.Ed.Blake.Toronto, Sept.5.\u2014Irish Home Rulers of this country have decided to tender a reception to the Hon.Edward Blake, in the Horticultural Pavillion, and the committee having the affair in charge have so far perfected arrangements as to assure success.The members of the Young Men\u2019s Liberal Club are to tender a banquet to Mr.Blake, but tlme and place have not yet been decided up.IHinois Crop in Danger.Bloomington, IL, Sept.5.\u2014A heavy rain is falling in lllinois.Grave fears for the crops are entertained.Frost Damage at Knowlton.{Special to The Herald.)

but the most universal one is that the Minister of Justice will accept the task of forming a government, as he will likely be called upon to do so by Lord Stanley.It is just possible that at the political demonstration in Petrolia to-morrow something upon this point may be mentioned by Sir John Thompson or some of the other ministers.The following from to-day\u2019s Citizen, the Government organ here, fully bears out what The Herald has already said as to the certainty and necessity of Sir John Abbott resigning his post as head of the administration, considering the interview which he allowed to be published in the press.To-duy's Citizen, after quoting the interview which a reporter had with Premier Abbott, says : It is obvious that the stato of mental exhaustion herc described must, if continuous, be incompatible with the exacting duties uttach- ing to the leadership of a government; and it is obvious that Sir John Abbott would not have deliberately published a statement which, in view of his ycars, is 80 serious, Without meaning to indicate to the country the need of Jooking for his successor.The article then goes on to refer to the manner in which Sir John Abbott acquitred himself while in office, and concludes as follows :\u2014 As for the successorship to the office of Premier there can bo but one opinion.Sir John Thompson is the man.Though only seven yoars in parliamentary life Sir John is recognized as a statesman of the weightiest calibre, deep in the knowledge of human nature and human Affairs, of extensive reading and accurate and varied information, an orator and a tacti- clan, Above all he is one in whom the country Las faith, à faith that has grown steadily during his leadershipof the House of Commons in the past two sessions.Seven years ago he was called to be Minister of Justice and at once took a front place in parliament, Subsequently his talents marked him out for his present post as leader, and therein he has not disappointed public expectation.Now again public opin- on selects him, this time as our next Premier and there is no reason to doubt that he will fill that position with the same skill and success which have characterized his labors throughout life.\u201d DR.DAWSON\u2019S IMPORTANT WORK.Dr.Dawson, who was engaged along with Sir George Baden Powell, as commissioner to enuire into and report on the Behring Sea question, has returned to the city from England, and resumed his duties here in the Geologicial department.He has commenced to-day to take up the duties which he left o about a year ago.On the 15th July, 1891, Dr.Dawson left for Behring Sea, where he carefully collected valuable information as to seal life, and which it is expected will be of im-nense advantage in the argument of the case before the commission, when they meet to hear it.After returning to Ottawa he partially pre- ared his report, and last February left for England, where it was completed and presented to the British authorities.It is said that the American commissioners who visited Behring Sea on behalf of the United States, contented themselves merely with a flying trip and collected little or noinforma- tion on the subject.During his absence the doctor was made a C.M.G., and his friends are hopeful when the next 24th comes around that he will be made à Knight.© GENERAL CAPITAL NOTES.A Ogden, ex-M.P.for Guysboro, N.S., is\u2019 ih~the city.He is now fisher and ip charge of the lobster hatchery in Nova Scotia, To The Herald correspondent he said to-day that sixty-five million young lobsters were turned out at the hatohery during the year.The.seasen for packing was somewhat dull.The Trades and Labor demonstration here to-day was very successful, despite the fact that several showers of rain dampened the garments of those who took part in what has now become an annual event here, but the inclemency of the weather in no way interfered with the enthusiasm of those who took part in the affair.The day was generally observed as a holiday, the greater number of stores being closed and neither of the evening papers being published.A special train took Sir John Thompson, Hon.Messrs.Foster and Haggart and Sir Adolphe Caron from the city at 11 o\u2019clock to-day for Petrolia to attend the political pow-wow there, Hon.Mr.Ouimet intended to accompany the party, but when he arrived here by the Montreal train at noon he found they were gone.To The Herald he said he would have liked to have gone, considering he got such a pressing invitation to be present, but through some mistake he was not notified of the time of the departure of the special train.Hon.John Costigan also intended going, but business prevented him doing so.The Commission at Quebec.{Special to The Herald.) .Quebec, Sept.5.-\u2014The Royal Commission on the liquor traffic, appointed by the Dominion Government last year, will open its sessions for the taking of evidence in Que- bees at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning at the Parliament Buildings, probably in the Legislative Council room.The commission is composed of Sir Joseph Hick- son, chairman;

IRON AND HARDWARE.The importance of the iron and hardware trade in a growing manufacturing country like Canada cannot be overestimated.During the fiscal year just ended the imports ot the various metals reached the colossal value of $11,072,329, and their value to the country may be estimated from the fact that they eontributed no less than 2,959,058 to the customs\u2019 treasury.It is only natural that the bulk of this important and flourishing trade should ceu- tre in Montreal.It is here that tranship- ment to the inland carrier takes place, and it is in this city that some of the largest users of the useful metals have their mills and factories.The result is that Montreal pos- 8esses among its merchant princes the leading houses in the hardware trade, and that many millions of money annually are added to the volume of her cuinmerce.The following table'gives an idea of the Various economic inetals and their relative importance to Canada : Mctals and their Manufactures.Value,

founded by the late Ald.Rodden, They do a general iron founding and stove manufacturing business, and also \u2018make soil ipes and fittings.All the year round no ess than 400 men are kept at work, although, since the recent disastrous fire, a number have been temporarily suspended.The firm is now composed of Ald.Wm.Clendinneng and Wm.Clendiuneng, jr.They make a specialty of the \u201cC\u201d Leader stove, which possesses several advantages over the ordinary cooking stove.It has à round fire box, which keeps a fire burning longer and brighter than theordinary square fire box stove.The \u2018* C\u201d Leader is, if kept supplied with fuel, always ready for immediate use in cases of emergency.In small houses, it fulfils the duty of a hall as well as cooking stove, thus effecting a large saving in fuel.At se of wood grates go with each stove.Although the firm suffered =o severely at the late extensive conflagration, they are losing no time in proceeding with their business.The buildings are in the meantime being temporarily re-erected, but it is their intention, as soon as convenient, to remove their works outside the city.The Canada Pipe Founding Company is run in connection with the above firm, of which Mr.Clendinneng, jr., is president.H.R.IVES & CO.The firm of H.R.Ives & Co.started in 1859 as a foundry and hardware manufac- tory.It was the first iu the country to manufacture small hardware.The struggle to find a market for this was hard and prolonged, but the company perssvered, and at last achieved success.Abont 1868 business operations were entered upon on a more extensive scale by the manufacture of stoves.This has grown to an enormous extent, and promises to be one of the great enterprises of the future.The ability of the firm to do good work was shown by the magnificent wrought iron gates and iron railing which it made to enclose the Parliamentary buildings at Ottawa.For beauty and strength these are unequalied by any such work in the Domin- jon, if not on the continent.In 1880 à new branch of business was undertaken in the manufacture of Barbed Wire Fencing, which promises to become an important industry.he factory turns out nearly a thousand tons per year.Some two hundred men find employment in the Montreal workshops.So immensely has the business expanded that in 1881 new buildings were erected in Longueuil, in which more than a hundred men find employment, THOMAS ROBERTSON & CO, The partners of the firm of hardware merchants and manufacturers of railway sup- lies are John R.Wilson, of Montreal, and Yobn Wilson, of Glasgow, Scotland.The business established in 1855 is located at 638-642 Craig street.James Reid and Thos.Turnbull are representatives on the Board of Trade.CRATHERN AND CAVERHILL.Messrs.Crathern and Caverhill commenced business in 1851 as dealers in metals and heavy hardware.The firm is composed of James Crathern and John Thomas Caver- bill.They are now amongst the largest dealers and importers in the trade.CAVERHILL, LEARMONT AND CO, This firm does business as shelf hardware merchants, on the same premises as Messrs.Crathern and Caverhill.The present partners are Messrs.Frank Caverhill, Joseph B.Learmont, Geo.Caverhill, Thos.Henry Newman.FROTHINGHAM AND WORKMAN.The firm doing business under the above name was founded as far back as 1809.They do an extensive business in heavy hardware and metals.The present part.nets are two Messrs.Archibald, Mr.Edey, Senator Murphy and Mr.Angers.MONTREAL REAL ESTATE.It is exceedingly satisfactory to note that although the number of real estate transfers during the past year was not equal In point of numbers to previous years, yet the total amounts are in excess of the cor- respanding periods.usiness men have turned their attention more to real estate transactions, that promise to yield even better returns for investments than business.There has been the usual steady demand for house property, and a good enquiry for business pro- erty at reasonable prices.Ia addition to his there has been a more general disposition to invest in vacant land, principally suburban properties.An encouraging feauture of the trade, and one showing the confidence held in Montreal securities is, that some of the large insurance companies which have not previously invested, are making the necessary changes ia their charters to enable them to do so.The tax recently placed upon real estate transfers has proved obnoxious to the real estate men of the city, some of whom characterize it as simply iniquitous.An effort will be made at the forthcoming season of the local house to have it amended, so that it will be more fairly adjusted.The following statement shows the number and amount of transfers in the city pro- er for the years 1888, 1889, 1890 and 1891: n 1888 there were 1871 transfers amounting to 6,324,376; in 1889, 1832 transfers, amounting to $8,434,210; in 1890, 1946 transfers, amounting to $8,555,811.41; and in 1891, 1774 transfers, amounting to $10,- 438,243.02.The market at present is quiet, and the outlook only fair, as so much depends on the action of the Goverrnment with respect to the tax.F.R.ALLEY AND CO.With the growth of the city of Montreal, and the consequent congetions of the working population near its centre, people who are in a position, in increasing numbers, are going out of town to reside.They wish to go far enough to escape the heavy taxation of the city in the meantime, and obtain a good property at a small outlay, but near enough so that some day they will be incorporated with it and have direct street car accommodation to its centre.The syndicate control the land lying on and between Amherst street, St.Denis and St.Lawrence streets.The last property, sub-divided by them, is a large frontage on the River du Prairie, at the terminus of St.Lawrence street, which has been laid out, and has à large park containing many acres with dwelling houses facing it on all sides except the river.The owners intend to supply it by their own plant, with water and electric light, and they will also construct a perfect svstem of drainage.We understand that these lots will be placed on the market about the 10th inst., and will doubtless meet with aready sale.Wenotice that Mr.Ailey has secured the survices of Messrs.C.W.Scriver and Co, and H.Peliand us solicitors.No prop.rty aps pears to ofier so many advantages 1 these respects as that at St Laurent and Sault Recollet, between St.Lawrence and St.Detis streets.Mr.Fred.R.Alley, seeing this, was enabled to get several other prominent gentlemen to appreciate this fact, and who, together, subsequently secured some one hundred muilion reev ot land in this section.This had numerous natural advantages, such as being of an even surface, with an easy descent to Back River.It has no quarry holes and is woll wooded.The purpose of the syndicate was to continue the city streets through their property.This is being done and the balance of the streets to be opened will be constructed in the same thorough and hand- sume way as Lhose already opened.There can be no doubt but that a large portion of the population of our crowded city will move out to this beautiful spot.Arrangements have been made for an electric car service, so that all householders will be enabled to reach the city in from 20 to 25 minutes.The extraordinary sales made by Mr.Alley und his staff amount to over 1,400 lots during nine weeks, and nevessitated the concern opening expensive and more convenient premises at No.116 St.James- street.Mr.Hy.Bogue, for many years representing Messrs.Gault Bros.in Quebec, has joined Mr.Alley, who is superintending the business, and has also secured the services of Mr.C.C.E.Bout- hillier as cashier and accountant.Mr.R.Goold, for many years with The Journal of Commerce, has also identified himself with this office as travelling representative, and is making large sales.A West End office has been opened at 2544 Notre Dame street, with Mr.F.Larose in charge; &lso one on the grounds at the St.Lawrence street extension.Mr.Hy.Bogue is in attendance here every afternoon, STATIONERY.F.E.GRAFTON AND SONS.This well-known book and stationery firm of F.E.Grafton & Sons have premises on St.James street.Their business is a large and increasing one, reflecting credit upon the energetic efforts of the present members of the tirm, F.E.and A.R.Grafton.Their latest publication is * Montreal After Two Hundred and Fifty Years,\u201d by W.D.Lighthall, M.A., a publication well worthy of perusal, nicely bound in cloth.It was written in view of the erection by the Numismatic and Antiquarian society of a number of historical tablets of marble.As a setting, a general account of the city was introduced, th for the information of strangers and as a record for citizens.It is a neatly got up volume, profusely illustrated with wood cuts and ancient plans of the city.An edition of 1,000 only was published, and more than half of these are now disposed of.Montreal Safe Deposit Co.This company possess 3 immense vaults in the Royal Insurance Co\u2019s.building.They were built by J.and J.Taylor, Toronto, and are eminently fitted for the work they have to do.Every precaution is taken for the benefit of subscribers, and the vaults are efficiently protected electrically and otherwise, The safes or safe deposit boxes are of all sizes, and rent as low as $10 per year.The principal officers of the compan are president, Sir D.A.Smith, vice-presi- dent, Sir J.Hickson, and managing director, J.A.L.Strathy.The company are empowered also to receive on deposit, money, bullion, stocks, bonds and securities.PROCLAMATION In order that every precaution may be taken against the cholera epidemic, it is absolutely necessary that the city shall be thoroughly cleaned, and to that end all citizens, whether tenants or proprietors in the city, are hereby ordered that their yards and cellars be thoroughly cleaned immediately, the rubbish carted away and the fences and interior of cellars properly whitewashed.Special inspectors are being appointed to see that this work is properly done.A staff of cleaners and whitewashers will follow the inspectors to sec that the work is thoroughly done, and in all cases of neglect on the part of the citizens; the cleaners will do the

bulwark.Fortunately the Quebec Government rose equal to the occasion under the threatened visitation of cholera, and fairly deserves the thanks and congratulations of the sister provinces, Neither should the Mayor, aldermen and officials of the city of Montreal be forgotten.They were the first to move, and their judicious boldness gave an inepiriting example.Possibly we of Moutreal had little thought for our fellow countrymen in the ateps taken.But even giving us credit for the most intense selfishness, the effects of our action have been the same, We have barred the entrance to the dreaded visitor, and there is every reason to believe, have barred it successfully.It was resolved, so far as this city was concerned, to keep out the enemy at whatever cost, but we should moarcely have bsen successful but for the prompt assistance of the Provincial Government.The danger against which their latest proclamation provides was a very real one.About four thousand Russian Hebrews, chiefly from the infected districts and all more or less of the character classed by the British officials as * filthy and unwholesome persons coming from foreign parts,\u201d were already preparing to ship to the United States.The enforcement of the quarantine laws, and she decision of the steamship companies to carry no steerage passengers while the epidemic lasts, however, blocked their progress.Next they turned their attention towards Canada, and arrangements were being made to bring them to a Canadian port, from whence they would find their way overland to their original destination.Already American cities are establishing quarantine against us, and the news of this Hebrew invasion would have made quarantine general on the boundary line, to the great detriment of all international business transactlons.For this emergency the Federal Government hastens up with a steam disinfector and a de-oxide furnace for the quarantine station at Grosse Isle The Provincial Government, not satisfied with such measures and perhaps from past scourges more fully yealizing the danger, came forward like men to avert it.Like practical men they do not believe in half measures so they boldly proclaimed the closing of Canadian ports to immigrants.This is the text of their proclamation :\u2014 It is forbidden, until further orders.to bring, either by wager or land, emigrants or theeffects of emtgrants within the limits of the Province of Quebec.It 18 forbidden any vessel coming from a port infected with cholera to land at any place in he Province of Quebec, or to disembark either passengers, crew, baggage or merchandise.It is forbidden any vessel having had, during the passage, any case of cholera on board, to land at any place in the Province of Quobeo.or to disembark either passengers, crew, baggage or merchandise.\u2018* It is resolved that inspectors, under control of the Provincial Board, be appointed at Mont- reai, Sorel, Three Rivers, Quebec, Levis, Ri- mouski, and at other places where it may be deemed necessary; also at Metapedia, on the Intercolonial Railway; and at Otterburn.on the Teiniscouate Railway: and at any other railway station where it may be deemed necessary.in order to enforce the by-laws of the Provincial Board of Health respecting the landing of cmigrants or their effects, or the landing of vessels coming from infected ports, or having had cholera on board.\u201cIt is the duty of municipal councils to en- forcq these by-laws and cause them to be executed.\u201d Complete prohibition was the only remedy in face of the acknowledged deficiencies of the quarantine stations, both at Grosse Isle and Halifax.Any milder measures would have been only playing with the evil and the Provincial Board of Health deserve every oredit for their prompt and vigorous action.Why was Minister Carling so unwilling to stop the immigration of the Russian Hebrews ?* He brews himself, of course, Mr.Carling's Supineness.In very marked contrast to the energetic action of our provincial and municipal offi- cinlg in the face of the cholera scourge has been the inertness of the Dominion Government.They were warned of the disgraceful inefficiency of the quarantine stations quite long enough ago to have remedied the deficiencies in time to meet the danger.They were loudly called upon to take action but it was then holiday season, and these old jokers cannot understand giving up a portion of their vacation for such a trific as a cholera visitation.For a short time they did appear to be about to wake up and it suited the Minister of Works to pey a visit to the St.Lawrence defences, Probably Minister Ouimet knows as little about quarantine matters as any other citizen.A wan may be a good lawyer and a fair colonel of militia, without knowing anything about the,science of disinfection.But the Colonel is within the sacred circle, and when he proclaimed the Grosse Ile quarantine efficient his colleagues bowed their heads and resumed their slum.bere\u2014or their fishing.Mr.Carling, the minister directly responsible, seems to have THE MONTREAL HERALD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1892.effaced himself, and in spite of protests from ail aides it took the public condemnation of a medical commission to rouse him to aotion \u2014if that can be called action which simulates lethargy so perfectly.By the time the epidemic was in full blast and Government revenues were feeling the pinch consequent on the stagnation of all trade, Mr.Carling might have been roused to the necessity of buying a discarded, second-hand disinfecting outfit; but fortunately the provincial Government seeing his supineness or negligence have snatched the the reins from his inert fingers and applied themselves energetically to a policy of prevention.Montreal merchants had an experience in the smallpox epidemic as to the cost of negligence at the outbreak of danger.Besides the deplorable loss of life, they remember well how their trading interests suffered and how certain lines, driven away then, have never been coaxed back again.They can estimate what would be the cost to them of a single case in this city; and they should be able to properly appreciate the enormity of the offence of the Dominion authorities.Some official heads should go into the basket as a result of this cholera danger, and the first should be that belonging to Hon.John Carling.It did not require the present crisis to demonstrate his unfitness for the post he occupies; that has long since been recognized.But it does emphasize the great desirability of having a younger and more vigorous man in so responsible a position.If Sir John Abbott has recovered his mental grip sufficiently to attend to business he had better give Mr.Carling his conge.And if at the same time he were serve a similar notice on Hon, Mr.Ouimet, he would find but little disposition to criticize his course.Just at present we cannot enjoy the luxury of having dunderheads in positions that call for men of first- clas abilities.The Organ of the Sleeping Adminis tration Speaks.The Toronto Empire denounces the Toronto Globe, The Montreal Herald and The Montreal Star for characterizing Grosse Isle appliances as ineffective.It says (of course it knows) that the quarantine station ia all right, and that the doctors who condemned it after personal inspection were Yankees who were primed by the unpatriotic journals above mentioned, and went there prepared to find fault, To which we beg to reply that out of the five doctors who visited Grosse Isle there were two Canadians, Dr.Lachapelle, chairman of the Quebec Board of Health, and Dr.P.H.Bryce, who fills a similar position in Ontario.They agreed with the Yankees in every particular.They should be taken out in the early morning and shot for treason for daring to condemn the Grose Isle quarantine station, after the editor of the Empire, sitting in his sanctum five hundred miles away, had decided that it was quite up to the mark.No doubt they were bought with Yankee gold, just as were those journals who have been for weeks past dinning into the ears of the sleepers at Ottawa the truth that vigorous action was a necessity.Citizens of Montreal will no doubt he quite satisfied, now that the Empire has notified them that a belief in the inadequacy of the Dominion quarantine regulations indicates disloyalty to the old flag and a dangerous squinting at annexation, to drop all further preparations and rely implicitly on Grosse Isle.The Alleged Syrian Forger.In the Court of Queen's Bench yesterday, the case of Ameer Abdon Loufty, the Syrian charged with signing for and receiving a registered letter containing $300, the property of Mrs.Houston, was proceeded with.Several witnesses were examined, including Anatole Larose, head of the Registry Department of the Post Office, and the case was hot concluded whea the court rose.A Serious Street Fight.About ten minutes past nine last night a crowd of nearly 500 people were attracted to the corner of St.James and Inspector streetd, by a general fight going on between Pat Mooney, Wilfred Paitres, Charles Saunders and another man, whose name is not known.Constables Boulard snd Laberge, who attempted to puta stop to the proceedings, found themselves in the minority and therefore obtained the.assistance of two other constables from No.8 Station, with whose assistance the belligerent parties were conveyed to the lock up.Saunders was found to be suffering from severe injuries caused by kicks about the head and neck, and a doctor had to be sent for to attend his injuries, Charged With Smuggling.At noon yesterday Detectives, Lafontaine, Campeau, Arcand and McMahon, with two constables, made a raid on a house occupied by a Chinaman named Sam Kee, situated on Lagauchetiere street, near Cote.The customs authorities have for some time suspected that opium smuggling was going on, and the raid was made on information received.The lower part of the house is used as a tea and general store, and when questioned the tenant denied any knowledge of what the officers were after.The house was searched, however, and in an upper room was found a trunk which contained about $350 worth of opium, some tobacco and cigars, These goods were confiscated, and nine Chinese who were found in the house were taken to the Central Police Station.The Chinamen said they had obtained the goods in Vancouver.Messrs.Boyer and Mercier, of the Custoins Department, have the case in hand.Last night all the prisoners were let out on bail.Some Serious Accidents.The wards of the Notre Dame hospital are again full up, and two of the patients have to be accommodated with beds made up on stretchers.The ambulance was called to No.12 police station about 11 a.m.yestorday.A ittle girl of about three and a half years old, named Maud Odell, living at 760 St.Dominique street, was running across the street in front of a street car when she slipped and fell under the car.When she was taken to the hospital it was found that her head had been severely bruised and ler left foot and hand terribly crushed.It is feared that two of her fingers will have to be amputated this morning.She is in a rather serious condition.About half-past three in the afternoon a man named Dubaud, while drunk, fell on the sidewalk at the corner of St.Elizabeth and Craig street, and sustained a terrible gash on the back of the head.He was removed to the Notre Dame.Hospital, where he is progressing favorably.Shortly after 7 o\u2019clock lust night the ambulance was called to the corner of St.Gabriel and Notre Dame streets.A.Desjardins, 25-years-old, livingat 36 St.Law rence street, while passing along the street in a livery wagon, was struck on the head with a whip by an acquaintance who was in a cart driving in the opposite direction.A nasty wound was inflicted, and Des- jarding\u2019 ear cut in two.He was taken to the hospital, where he is progressing favorably.bis assailant will probably be arrested.x concis Amman: SPA ASS Castoria is Dr.Samuel Pitcher\u2019s prescription for Infants and Children.It contains

crossing almost to- ther.On the beat up to Valois buoy the olly Bawn, sailing closer than the others, t a good lead, which she kept but did not crease during the race.The Coquette settled down to second ir followed by the Chaperon, Frolic and iking close together, with the Eagle and Ellida a short distance behind.These positions were maintained throughout the race, with the exception that the Frolic drew slightly ahead of the Chaperon on the run to Chateauguay buoy, the Frolic being picked up by the Viking near the finish line.Lhe following is a summary : Start.Finish.El'sed, handi- Cor-

Defeats Grand Trunk.At seven o'clock last evening, in front of the Grand Trunk Boat club house, the above teams played a rattling game before a large crowd of spectators.It was somewhat dark, but nevertheless not enough so to deter the game seriously, and after the umpires and referee had taken their positions the game started.Davies obtained the ball and shot up, and Collins of the Montreals gradually worked it down again with the assistance of E.Irwin, but the Point boys are no mean opponents, and soon things began to look dangerous for Montreal, Bell, Forrester and Davies doing fine work, and Walter Irwin had his time taken up stopping several good shots.However, he didit well, and finally made a good throw to Jackson, who passed to Scanlan, he shot over to Carter, who scored with a hard drop shot.Nothing more in the way of scoring occurred during this halt, but the ball was continuing round the Grand Trunk goal, which was now very difficult to see on account of darkness, After five minutes rest the game was once more started with the Grand Trunk playing with wind, and what little stream there was, but practice told and with the exception of Davies, who is a first-class swimmer, and very tricky in the water, the Montreals opponents were apparently fagged.It was s0 dark that it was impossible to do any accurate passing and the shouting of the different men was the only indication of where they were, this, however, led to a good piece of play between Jackson, Carter and rwin, wha carried the ball up between them after Davies had got it well down, and by a long shot Irwin finally scored another goal, leaving the score Montreal 2, Grand Trunk 0, thus winning a hard fought battle.The Grand Trunk club have fine material, and are determined to make an institution of the game as they have a splendid site for it, and as a matter of fact the \u201cground\u201d was laid out perfeotly, and they deserve great credit for the manner in which the match was carried out.The teams were: Montreal, G.T.R.C.EBC) prorwara (0: Disiiany G.Jackson - Back {-++.-.J.Perrie Collins \u2026\u2026\u2026.À.Forrester

Montreal, was not played on Saturday last as the St.Anne's could not muster a team.It seems that they should give the Montrealer's a game sometime this year if possible, and it would be quite an attractive event as it is well known that St.Anne\u2019s have an excellent team.There is talk of a challenge cup to be given for competition next year, and if anything comes of it there will no doubt be some enthusiasm hitherto unknown in Canada, in Aquatic Pole.rtp BASEBALL.Yesterday's National League Games.MORNING GAMES, R.H.E.At Bos .Poston 0 0.00010000 1-232 'ville.1 0 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0\u20141

Ottawa, Sept.5.\u2014The event par excellence at the Labor Day sports here was the lacrosse match between the Junior Shamrocks, of Montreal, and Stars of this city.It rained little during the progress of the struggle, but the ground had previously been well soaked and was in a very slippery condition The Shamrocks were considerably heavier than their opponents, but were outclassed when it came to playing the national game.The little Stars, and some of them are mighty small, played a magnificent combination game throughout, and won in three straights in 20, 15 and 20 minutes.The visitors had the best of the first game, but were never in it afterwards.By the victory the Stars won thirteen handsome medals.The Captain of the Capitals Arrested.Toronto, Sept.5.\u2014Stewart, the captain of the Capital lacrosse teum from Ottawa, was arrested to-night on a charge of common assault on Waurbrick, one of the Toronto players, during Saturday\u2019s match.The fracas in which the blow was alleged to have been struck occurred in the seventh and Tommy Clown.Steward rushed between the two and dealt Wanr- brick a terrific blow in the face with his fist.A free fight ensued in which players and spectators joined and members of the Capital team were only saved pretty rough handling by the interference of a force of police.Stewart was arrested by Detective Burrows on his arrival on the Cibola from Niagara to-night, but afterwards got bail in $200 f.r his appearance in the morning before the Police magistrate.THE RING.Wanted to Arrest Corbett.Charlottenburg, N.C,, Sept.5\u2014Jim Cor- bett and party arrived here at 5 o'clock this morning.Late last night, at Charlotte, it became known to one of the party that the fighter was to be arrested for desecrating the Sabbath, He had gone through his usual exercises, and had taken a run with his trainer about the city, which proceeding was held, by the Solicitor General, who is a lawyer, to be against the law.The party was awakened, and when the night express came in, Corbett was stowed away in a berth on a regular sleeper, and another big man was put in bed in the Cor- bett car ready to stand arrest.This move took the officers by surprise, and the train pulled out just as the officials were about to make a search.During the morning, which was showery, Corbett went through with his usnal exercise, and at 11 p.m.the party eft for Atlanta.The Gladstone-Labouchere Incident.London, Sept.5.\u2014Mr.Gladstone denies that he did not offer Mr.Labouchere an ottice because of certain incidents connected with Mr.Labouchere\u2019s position and occupation and that Mr.Labouchere's action in voting against the Royal grants was no bar to his holding office.fortably full of men, who paid $15 for box seats, $10 for lower seats, and $7.50 for seats in the gallery, and when ex-Mayor Guillotte made the formal arnouucement that a contest for the lightweight champion.\u2019 ship of the world was about to take place, he received a rousing cheer.As the ex-mayor finished his brief speech, and Professor John Duffy, the official referee, climbed through the padded ropes, there was a howl of pleasure.Police Captain Barrett weighed the gloves personally on the stage, and, on finding that they pressed the scale down at full five ounces, tossed them into the centre of the ring.He then warned the crowd that order must be maintained, and that persons who made too much noise, or in any way misconducted themselves, would be ejected from the building.The men weighed-in a few minutes before 9 o\u2019clock.The limit was 138 lbs.Myers scaled at 1374, and McAuliffe at 1373 lbs, When this proceeding was told by Prof.Duffy it was made known that the timekeeper would be R.M.Frank, while Jimmy Colville, of Boston, would hold the watch for McAuliffe, and George R.Clark for Myer.It was 9.10 p.ni.when McAuliffe entered the ring, accompanied by his handlers, and was only moderately applauded.Myers, who followed a minute later, was loudly cheered, showing that he was the favorite with the large majority.Me- Auliffe\u2019s seconds were Joe Choynski, Jack Sheehan, Jimmy Nelson and Prof.James Robertson, of Bay St.Lows.Myers was looked after by his brother Ed., John Eck- ert, Frank Hoxey and Alf.Kennedy.Myer took his seat in the corner occupied by Jack Dempsey, Peter Maher and other losers, and it iscalled the unlucky corner.The men, wearing only trunks, shoes and stockings, shook hands at 9.15 and returned to their corners.At 9.23 time was called.First round\u2014McAuliffe looks pale.He leads for the stomach twice, but slips and falls, and Myers lands lightly.Both spar carefully; McAuliffe led with his right, and Myer counters on McAulitfe's nose.Mac misses again; Myer backs him to his corner, sud a clinch in the middle of the ring follows.Myer lands light wish his right.The gong finds both sparring.No advantage to either this round.Seeond round \u2014McAuliffe forces the fighting and lands his right heavy on Myers.McAuliffe feints with his right, and lands his left and right, and Myers counters with his right.Both clinch.Myers lands his right on McAulitfes body.McAuliffe smashes Myers on the nose with his left, and then lands his right and left on Myers, and, with a heavy right-hand swing, knocks Myers clearly off his feet to the floor.Severe infighting followed.McAuliffe lands his left again and again on Myers.The round ends with MeAuliffe punishing Myers severely.It is all McAuliffe's own way in this round.Third round\u2014 McAuliffe rushes again, but Myers meets him gamely.They clinch, when McAuliffe lands a wicked left-hander on Myers.He attempts to return, but misses and McAuliffe leads and smashes Myers again.They clinch again, and Myers hit McAuliffe several times while they are clinched, Both slightly weakened now, and sparring for wind.McAuliffe again rushes, but Myers clinches; they break away again.Myers is freshening slightly.The round ends with

round\u2014Mac landed on Myers\u2019 head.Myers fell, but was on his feet quickly, Both are exhausted and sparring for wind.Sixth round\u2014Mac was hit hard on the face.Both landed on each others\u2019 stomachs, and clinched.Both men are tired.Seventh round-\u2014Mac led three times and missed.Myers landed on McAuliffe\u2019s head and a clinch followed.Fach landed on the other's body as

with the ladies, clergymen, physicians, temperance men, tourists, and has a goo share of commercial patronage.The new marble swimming baths and all the water baths are free to guests.The Turkish Bath Department is one of the best on the continent.The remarkable effect of Turkish baths in all cases of rheumatism, severe colds, etc., is daily shown at this institution.The charges are very moderate.Girculars giving full information sent on application to the manager, Mr.F.E.McKyes.Mac got in on Myers\u2019 cheek, which started claret.First blood was claimed and allowed for McAuliffe.McAuliffe smashed again, but was met bya straight right hander which floored him.When he got to his feet it was only to be rushed viciously by Myers and landed right and left.Both men are very tired, although at this point Myers seems to be in better shape, The ninth round was a hard one.Me- Auliffe rushed and landed light with his right.Myers gets in twice, but McAuliffe counters trickily with hisright.Me uliffe jumps at Myers, and nearly knocked him off his feet with a right swing.Myers was forced clean across the ring, and McAuliffe landed right and left and fights Myers to the ropes.They clinch, and nothing is done at the breakaway.Myers staggers across the ring and is very groggy.Tenth round\u2014Myers landed with his right on MecAuliffe\u2019s chin, and again landed a straight right on Mac's jaw.The effect is to thoroughly madden McAuliffe, who rushes and lands his right twice in succession on Myers.Eleventh round\u2014McAuliffe forces the fighting, and forces Myers into his corner.In the ensuing rally, Myers got a trifle the best.McAuliffe then led, smashing Myers on the cheek and starting blood again.Twelfth round\u2014McAulifle complained of Myer's gloves.The referee pronounced them all right.Myers landed with his right.McAulifie rushed and landed a left-handed blow on Myer\u2019s stomach.Myer was forced to the rupes aguin, but McAulitie kept away, Thirteenth round\u2014Mac landed two face blows.Fourteenth round\u2014Myers stepped quickly to the centre of the ring, and landed on Mac's neck with his left, but got a heavy right swing on the jaw in return.Another clinch and McAuliffe follows it by driving Myer to the ropes.Round 15.-\u2014Doth men came up, Myers rather weak and groggy.Territic intight- ing, both men landing heavily.MeAulifte led and landed heavily on the neck.Myers went down.Then McAuliffe ran at his man and pounded him with left and right for stomach and face.Myers wont down and stayed for six seconds.He arose very slowly and McAulifie sailed into him again.Myers could make no de- sence and McAuliffe with left and right fmashed the Illinois chap on the jaw and Myers went down for the last time.He tried to get up but his strength was gono and he fell on the lower rope and then te the floor.a beaten man.The crowd gave a great yell as Referee Duffy gave the decision, and McAuliffe stood ready to shake his opponent\u2019s hand.Myers\u2019 seconds had to .lift the Streator lad to his feet and take him to his corner.McAuliffe ran over to him, grasped the defeated man\u2019s hand.Then the happy victor shook hands with everybody.On the whole McAuliffe put up a great fight.He did almost all the leading from the start, but fought warmly withal.He was of the opinion that Myers\u2019 right hand was to be feared.Myers was clearly outclassed, and he had to depend altogether on his right.McAuliffe had him too weak too early in the fight to permit him to get in with effect.The fight was for £5,000 aside and $10,000 added After the battle Dick Roche challenged any man in the world to fight MecAulifie at 133 pounds.weigh in at the ring side, for $10,000 aside] by the club.Those who

London, Sept.5.\u2014Discount if anything was easier last week, but there wasno quotable change, The failures of the wcek did not appear to affect the market much.But they served \"as reminders of the heavy losees suffered in all departments of trade and finance.There is little likelihood of any revival of business in the near future The suspension of Sir Titus Salt, Sons & Co., the Bradford manufacturers, points to the stress laid upon several textile manufacturers while the failure of Redfern, Alexander & Co., the Australian and Newzealand merchants and bankers, it is feared reflects the condition of other Kastern houses.The failure of the London and General Bank has no special significance, bnt may retard the restoration of confidence.The bank was intimately associated with the Liberal or Building Society, which also suspended with total liabilities of £3,300,000, while other building and land companies are known to be seriously affected.Silver was very weak at the beginning of the week owing to sales in New York, but partly recovered on Wednesday, and thereafter was steady.No appreciable movement is now expected till the American elections are over.On the Stock exchange the week was a most inactive one.The spread of cholera adversely affected prices.The market, however, manifested a better tone toward the end of the week, when British funds became stronger and foreign bonds firmer, owing to a deal of buying by continental buyers, Argentine bonds fell 4 owing to the rise of the Buenos Ayres gold premuim, and the uncertain political outlook in Argentine.- British railway securities relapsed owing to bad weather and poor traffic returns, suffering an average decline of a point.In American railway securities there were heavy sales.This department of the market was extremely deprossed, in symp.J athy with New York, and in fact no advance for any American railway security can be recorded.The Southern stocks were especially affected.At Paris, on the Bourse during the week Rentes were stronger.The upward movement, which appears likely to continue, was chiefly due to cheap money.The cheapness of money also infiuences other international stocks in which there wus nearly an all-round advance.At Berlin prices were firmer, though there was little movement in international stocks.Prices were steady at Frankfort, COMMERCIAL.To-day\u2019s Receipts in

wheat : Ogre of the largest winter wheat millers in Southern Illinois reports that they find the wheat this ycar makes more flour than it did last, and can only account for it from the fact that the bran on the wheat is probably thinner.Itis a fact that wheat this year will yield five pounds of tlour more than last year\u2019s wheat.Farmers in Southern lllinois have been busy plowing and the take all that comes along at present prices.Seeding will commence in fifteen days, Indiana reports that probably one-half of the winter wheat is now thrashed.The movement is falling off to some extent.Farmers up to date have sold more freely than they did last season.Thrashing is about all done.In northern Ohio thrashing is pretty woll along.Farmers are not selling, as they have only a light crop.Little land has been plowed for wheat so far.This is owing to the dry weather and also the low price of wheat, Michigan reports that from 50 to 75 per cent.of the wheat is now thrashed.Farmers are not selling nearly as freely as last season.Wheat is not turning out as well as was expected from the amount of straw.The quality is not as good as last season, and a large percentage of it No.3.Owing to the dry weather but a small amount of fall plowing has been done.Missouri reports that fully two-thirds of the wheat has been thrashed.Farmers have sold much more freely this season than usual.The large movement of wheat has fallen off.Millers are now generally well stocked with wheat, and are taking all that is offeréd them.Fully half or two-thirds of the land is plowed for fall wheat, and seeding of wheat will begin soon.Southern Kansas reports that about 75 per cent of the wheat has been thrashed.The movement has fallen off considerably, Fifty per cent of the fall plowing is done.The ground is in good condition for seeding, and farmers will com- meuce sowing wheat about Sept.10.Kentucky reports that the wheat has been nearly all thrashed.Furmers have sold more freely than usual, but since the depression in price deliveries have fallen off greatly.Little land has been plowed for wheat on account of the dry weather, and seeding ought to commence about the 15th of the present month.Texas reports that the winter wheat is nearly all thrashed, but the crop is not moving anything like as freely as thirty days ago.Millersare taking all the wheat offered at ruling prices.About 25 per cent.of the land is ready for seeding, which will commence in thirty days.Reports from South Dakota show that fully three-fourths of the spring wheat is in shock or stack and little thrashing so far has been done.Little can be said yet as to yields, but the quality will be much poorer than last year.There was considerable wet weather during the last few days, and fears are

will lead to better things.It may, of course, only prove to be a result of some manipulation on the part of astute speculators.The latest news from Mr.Eakin, of Port Arthur, is that he has over 700

1592.SIREDWINARNOLD Montreal Visited by the Famous Writer.He Now Devotes Most of His Time to Buddh- ism\u2014To Restore the Temple\u2014At the Sa- ered Shrine\u2014A Clean People\u2014He Likes the Ladles\u2014Our Canadian West\u2014A Compliment to the Captain.¢ Sir Edwin Arnold, London.\u201d This autograph on the register of the Windsor yesterday denoted the presence in Montreal of one of the foremost litterateurs sf the modern world.The author of * The Light of Asia,\u201d and of \u2018 The Light of the World.\u201d Sir Fdwin Arnold ie also one of England's leading journalists, as well as one the first Oriental students of the age.Of rather less than medium height, a few years from life\u2019s allotted span, with a slight stoop of the shoulders, full, short beard tinged with grey.and the kindest and most sympathetic expression in his clear, grey eyes\u2014such was the gentleman who gave a Herald man the pleasure of a half hour's conversation yesterday afternoon.À thorough journalist, by years of training and thought, he has a liking for all members of the craft, and is always willing to give a newspaper man material for \u2018\u2018copy.\u201d The conversation naturally took thejcourse to which Sir Edwin has devoted the later years of his life, the placing before the western world she inner life and actuating motives of the Japanese people and the Buddhist religion, of which he has become a devotee.e appears to have more entirely comprehended the spirit and assimilated the religious teachings of the eastern nations than any other European of the day.10 RESTORE THE TEMPLE, Buddhism was one of the first topics mentioned, and Sir Edwin gave a short outline of what he had tried to do for Buddhism.He began by saying that Buddhism was the underlying principle of Brah- minism and Shintoism, the reli- ion of Japan, China, Burmah, Assam, indostan and other smaller states, upward of 450,000,000 people.The Buddhists were now scattered throughout these people, and Brahminism prevailed.The sacred temple of Buddha Gyva was situated near Patna, not far from Calcutta, and beside the everlasgt- ing tree, under which tradition says Sid- dartha, Lord Buddh, sat when he received the vision bestowing upon him all wisdom.It was built 300 years before Christ by King Asokie, but for many centuries has been in charge of the Brahmins, and controlled by the Mahunt or high priest, who obtains large revenuesfrom the contributions of pilgrims.Sir Edwin now proposes to reestablish Buddhist worship there, and make it the centre of that religion.This would make it a grand resort for religious pilgrims from all parts of the east.fre had to assure the Mahunt that his revenues would not be decreased, and that assurance given, no objection was offered to the restoration of Buddhist worship.AT THE SACRED SHRINE.Sir Edwin here related an incident which occurred on one of his visits to the temple.He asked the Mahunt to be allowed to pluck a leaf from the sacred Bodhi tree, expecting it would be refused, but great was his surprise to get the answer: \u201cYou may take all for what I care.\u201d On these Yeaves he wrote a Sanscrit verse.When making the proposition to the Buddhist priests at Kandy, Ceylon, they at once besought him for one of the feaves.Te ave them five, and his devotion to Buddhism was rewarded by learning that the leaves had been enclosed ina golden casket and deposited in the Tootth Temple of that city.He interviewed Lord Dufferin and Lord Connemara about the matter, and they gave him every expression of good will ; only the Government was determined not to interfere in religious matters, so he need not expect assistance in money.Everywhere throughout India the restoration of the Sacred Temple was hailed with delight.BUDDHISM AND CHRISTIANITY.In answer to the question whether this restoration of Buddhism to the leading religion of India would interfere with the advance of Christianity, Sir Edwin said he thought not, and followed it up with the remark that the writer would yet erise who would reconcile Christianity, Buddhism and science.He spoke a few enraptured words of the high ideal of that religion for which his respect almost reaches reverence.The taking of life is forbidden and consequently abstinence from flesh or fish, charity, and the inspirin belief that life recurs in endless circles ti finally even the worst may attain Nirvana.\u201cThat is what I like about Walt Whitman,\u201d he added, \u2018he believes the rake dying of his filthy disease is not utterly ost,\u201d A CLEAXLY PEOPLE.Sir Edwin waxed enthusiastic over the public and private life of the Japanese, who are far superior to westerners in cleanliness, The pation was as clean as ivory, everybody from the Emperor to the poorest having their two warm baths a day.Tokio was the most beautiful city in the world They surpass us in their health arrangements; they burn nothing bnt charcoal and so in their cities preserve an air as pure as the Northwest breeze over the prairies of Manitoba.You notice at some roadside a tub with a notice such as this: \u201cThe illustrious stranger is requested to honor this tub,\u201d and you are conferring a much valued favor on the owner by so doing.HE LIKES THE LADIES.Bir Edwin's admiration of the character of the Japanese women is unbounded ; he considers them perfect as mothers, wives, sisters or daughters.Their devotion to their parents is absolute, to their husbands they are most faithful, and as mothers none could be more gentle and affectionate, and in the Play \u2018\u201c\u2018 Adzuma or the Japanese Wife,\u201d which he has just written these traits are brought out, and none too strongly, for the women of the present day are equally devoted.This play will be soon presented in London by Henry frving, and may be seen in America next year.Sir Rdwin regards it as his masterpiece.OUR CANADIAN WEST.Bir Edwin then turned his attention to modern subjects.In answer to a question for his opinion of the Canadian Northwest, he replied: \u2018\u2018 Countless leagnes of corn I have seen, and is this \u2018the (reat Lone Land\u2019 which so short a time ago was deemed a desert?It is wonderful.1 don\u2019t think the Government is generous enough to this country; they should ba more liberal in their efforts to populate this land, prolific in possibilities, aye, and in certainties; they should not send out paupers, but every man should have £50 in his pocket.Manitoba and the Northwest should have twenty millions of people within the next fifteen years.\u201d In conclusion, the visitor paid a compliment to Captain Lee, of the steamship Em- ress of Japan, for his conduct during the fire on board during the recent trip.Sir Edwin Arnold is accompanied by Mrs, Kurokrwa; a talented lady of Tokyo, who is going to England under his escort to enter one of the ladies\u2019 colleges there, probably Girton.They leave this morning for New York, whence they sail for Liverpool.Upon his return to London, Sir Edwin will resume the editorial control of the Daily Telegraph, of which he was the ruling spirit for somany years.TO-DAY'S

Montreal, and upon the former occasion it was much enjoyed.I: is no wonder then that a very large audience greeted its reproduction at the re-opening of the Academy of Music last night.* Fantasma\u2019, is one of those trick pantomimic productions which always amuses and 1s at all times leasing from a spectacular standpoint.There can be no doubt, after seeing \u2018* Fantasma,\u201d that the Hanlon Bros.are masters of the spectacular art, and when the stage carpenters get accustomed to their present surroundings, a much smoother scenic performance\u2019 may be expected ; as it was last night, there were continual hitches, and even the calcium light operator seemed to lnow anything but his business.The really magnificent tableaux, which were many and varied, called out the heartiest applause from the audience, and particularly \u2018The Mermaids\u201d Revels,\u201d \u2018\u2018 The Grotto of the Magic Fountain,\u201d and the closing transformation were received with the greatest pleasure.There is something about the performance, when you leave the scenery out of the question, that is monotonous; something that is hard to explain ; perhaps it is the want of dialogue, perhaps the absence of vocal music, perhaps it was because of a first night's performance after a summer\u2019s rest; whatever it was it was there.* The cast of characters is fairly well chosen.Of course the star is Mr.G.Adams.His excellent work, and he has much to do, was at once recognized, and on all sides he was complimented, perhaps not in words, but in laughter, for the house was seldom dull when he was on the stage.In the title role Miss Mynnie Burroughs scored quite a success.Her work is clever.Miss Ida Maussey shared the honors, and the dancing of the Misses Adams was appreciated.(SAM DEARIN\u2019S COMPANY.\u201cSam Dearin\u2019s Specialty Company\u201d opened a week\u2019s engagement yesterday.The company is a half strong one, and Manager Moore is to be thanked for having brought with him from New York the artists who for three hours hold the audience and bring forth much applause.The performance opens with John Sheen, who sings a number of those songs that all the boys will be whistling in a day or two.They are made up for the occasion from the leading topics of the day.Mr.John Starr as a juggler needs a little practice.Sam earin is well-known in this city and is better than ever as the black face manipulator of comic instruments.Miss Amy owen made a big hit in her aerial ring performance.The star of the compan Miss Mallie Thompson, was greatly missed, owing to her baggage containing h er stage costumes having missed the train.She, will, however, appear to-morrow.The program concludes with a farce comedy full of wit and humor.TONY PASTOR COMBINATION.Tony Pastor's company has always filled the Theatre Royal to overflowing, and the appearance of the company at the Royal yesterday was a repetition of the same old story.The theatre was crowded so that many could not procure even standing room.As far as variety goes, Tony Pastor's company is one of the best on the road.The performance commenced with The Nawns, in their comedy creation entitled ** Wrink- lets.\u201d They created lots of fun, and were followed by Miss Birdie Brightling, who sings sweetly and plays the banjo.She got several recalls.George F.Austin did good work on the slack wire.His performance contains much that is new.Ward and Vokes, in their skit entitled Percy and Harold, seemed to please many by their absurdities.Maggie Cline and Miss Bessie Bonehill are still great favorites with the Royal patrons.Their songs, however, bear the mark of time and are somewhat stale.A change in their repertoires would be very acceptable, The comic musicians, Deely and West, although their range of instruments is limited, are quite au fait on the instruments they do play.The Misses Daly are really dancing wonders and richly deserved their recalls.Little Venie is but a child, still her equal is seldom seen.The Detroit brothers hand balancing is good, and Glen- roy Bros.in scientific boxing created lots of amusement.Tony Pastor's company is not any better than usual, but the Theatre Royal is sure to be crowded at every performance.THE WHITE SQUADRON, The White Squadron was last night presented at the Queens.Rumors of a success in New York had reached Montreal, but there were a few people in last night's aue dience that were disappointed.To any] one who is acquainted with the internal economy of the theatre, however, it was truly a triumph of scenic art.Most elaborate sets crowded with soldiers, sailors, brigands and monks afforded a picture seldom seen in the Queen\u2019s theatre.The \u2018cast\u2019 is a heavy one, but like à strong cricket eleven, has no \u201ctail.\u201d The plot is a deeply involved one, perhaps a captious critic would say too much so; but a strong story is maintained throughout, the interest of which is never allowed to flag for one moment, and each act ends with an effective and sensational \u2018curtain.\u2019 Mr, Hilliard, as the hero Victor Staun- ton, secured the sympathies of the audience from his first entrance, and ably portrayed a manly and true-hearted sailor.Messrs.Eage and Douglas, as the villanous general and his aide-de-camp, supplied the rascality of the plot.Mr.Harcourt as Capt.Silviera was fair.Mr.Carr showed a careful and strong study of the slave Santos.The comedy was safe in the hands of Messrs.Sanger, Henderson, Barbour and Coleman, substantially assisted by Messrs.Pearson and Marshall.The other small parts were adequately filled.Miss Wheeler, as Onesta, appeared to great advantage and rose ably to all her opportunities.Her part was a most difficult one, but not too Si.cult for this clever actress.Miss Hayward as Theresa was satisfactory.It imght be mentioned that the harmony of the evening was somewhat marred by what can only be explained as a drunken freak of one or two of the audience.To hiss the American flag and to greet the representa ive of that country with plugs of tobacco was an act of discourtesy to an American visitor that would obtain no sympathy from any true Canadian.TO-DAY\u2019S HERALD.To-day\u2019s Herald comprises twenty pages.Be sure and see that you get all of it.St.Cunegonde Takes Action.The St.Cunegonde Board of Health held a special meeting yesterday afternoon for the purpose of discussing the attitude which the town should adopt in the face of the present danger from cholera.The subject was thoroughly ventilated and a great many schemes discussed.The Board was unanimous, however, about one thing and that was to insist that every citizen keep his or her premises in a reasonable state of cleanliness.It was mentioned that at the back of some of the most respectable streets great carelessness prevailed in the disposal of garbage.\u2018The president of the Board, Mr.Joseph Thibert, was in the chair, and the following members were present: Rev.J.H.Lebrun, Jes.Luttrell, H.8.Delisle, and Hubert Morin.The medical adviser of the Board, Mr.Cyphiot, was also in attendance.Excellent for Training.I have found St.Leon water the very best thing to drink while in training and have used it every morning with the most satisfactory results during the last couple of seasons.It keeps the system in good condition and is superior, in my judgment, to all other drinks for the athlete.With best wishes, I remain, sincerely yours, W.M Carman, champion bicyclist of Canada, 16 Shelbournet street.IT WAS LABOR DAY Thousands (Of Wage Earners On Parade.Streets Lined With Peorle\u2014The Celebration Passed Off With Success At Every Turn \u2014A Long List of Amusements, Together With Those Who Won The Prizes\u2014The Lacrosse Match.Labor day for 1892 was ushered in gester.day morning, so far as the atmosphere was concerned under the most auspicious circumstances.Up to midday all was joyous and gay, and in consequence thousands upon thousands of the hard working sons of toil turned out with their wives and little ones to participate in what proved to be a most enjoyable day's fun.When the time for the procession drew near, the streets presented a lively appearance, The procession was late in parting, and it was not until 8.30 a.m.that the marc began.The most numerously represented nnions were the Black Diamond Assembly K.of L.(coal shovellers) about 500 strong ; the River Front Assembly, K.of L.(cargo loaders) about 400 strong; the Grand Hermine Assembly, K.of L.(cargo loaders), 300 strong : and the Cigar Makers\u2019 International Union, 400 strong.In all, the number of processionists was variously estimated at from five to eight thousand.There was no lack of bands and banners.In one of the places of honor was the omnibus carrying the K.of L.juvenile band, composed entirely of sons of Knights of Labor, ranging from ten to sixteen years of age, and all good amateur musicians.Scotchmen were re- resented by pipers Riddell, McKenzie and McInnis, of the 5th Royal Scots.Conspicuous among the banners borne at the head of each of the societies was that carried by one of the K.of L.Assemblies, on which was painted a life-size portrait of T.V.Powderley, the Grand Master of the Order in America.Every union, however, had its silken standard emblazoned with mottoes setting forth the objects of the union and its number or name.In this respect the procession differed little from that of other years.But there was one remarkable innovation\u2014a prominent position in the ranks assigned to an assembly of youthful Knights of Labor, each one holding aloft a bronze-colored standard bearing a labor-legend.Michael Davitt\u2019s dictum, \u201cThe Land for the People,\u201d was one of the most significant of these inscriptions.*\u201c Sons of Organized Labor,\u201d \u2018\u2018 An injury to One is the Concern of All,\u201d * The Labor Question Must be Solved by Ballots, not by Bullets,\u201d \u201c\u2018 Labor is Noble and Holy,\u201d and \u201c\u201c A bas le Monopole.\u201d Of local application was the inscription, * Our fathers obtained the lowering of the water- tax,\u201d and \u2018¢ Raise all taxes from land values.\u201d When the procession entered the grounds it was met by several thousands of fellow- workers, who received it with hearty cheers, and it is estimated that during the afternoon nearly 10,000 persons entered the gates.One noticeable feature of the mammoth picnic was the absence of intoxicating liquors.It was one of most order} outings ever held in Montreal.In fact, there was one drawback to the day\u2019s sport, which was caused by Jupiter Pluvius putting in an appearance just as the lacrosse match began, but this did not damp the ardor of tho votaries of Canada\u2019s national game, and despite the utmpst endeavors of the enemy a very pleasant game was indulged in, but owing to the slippery state of the ground one or two of the players met with accidents of a minor character, such as sprains, etc.The match, which was between the Crescents und Glepgariang, was won by the Crescents by three atraight games.The program of sports,although composed of many events, was brought off without a hitch thanks to the efficiency of the officials, who were as follows: Judges\u2014Measrag.W.Snow, Norman, Fletcher (starter) D.Taylor, J.P.Clark, H.Brophy, M.P., J.Beland and A.T.Lepine.The Organization Committee also rendered valuable assistance during the afternoon, viz: Messrs.J, A Rodier, president; V.Dubreuil, secretary; P.J.Ryan, P.C.Chatel, P.Howard, L.Z.* Bourdeaux, A.Blondin, W.Sandilands and D.Rochon.The results were as follows: 1.Throwing 56 1b.\u2014T.Morrow, 23 ft.24 in., 1;

THE H y MARKET IN 1839.skins, and would pay for what they took only in hats, which might not be sold in France.Still the beaver was hunted by ever-increasing numbers of couriers de bois, and the skins accumulated.Oudijett« became bankrupt, and his successors ultimately found themselves in the same straits.In 1700 the policy was slightly changed.A number of Canadian merchants were compelled by force of threats to form a new company.They had to take off the hands of their predecessors some 600,000 skins, paying, however, only half the usual price, and, as France still refused to purchase, found themselves under the necessity of burning three-fourths of the valuable commodity.The national animal of Canada, and one whose intellec- tuality was in advance of that of its murderers, was ruthlessly slaughtered on the altar of a false commercial policy.By 1707 the Canadian company had run its course, and gave way to another, and in 1721 the New West India Company was granted the doubtful privileges, but this time a faint ray of common-sense had river.About 1812 it had 50 agents, 70 interpreters, and over 1,100 voyageurs; and at the annual meeting of the partners at Fort William on the shores of Lake Superior, these potentates were wont to appear, surrounded with all the pomp of feudal barons.\u2018The energy of the North-West Company induced a like activity in that of Hudson's Bay.While for 80 years the latter had ot had more than four posts, all on Hudson\u2019s Bay, it now pushed its way into zhe interior, and by 1812 had established a rol- ony at Red River.So keen became the competition between the two corporations that hostile encounters grew more snd more frequent, while the Indian tribes were decimated by liquor lavishly distributed by the voyageurs to gain their allegiance, and notwithstanding stringent laws against selling liquor on Indian territory.Between 1808 and 1814, so deadly had the competition of the two companies become, the Hudson's Bay Company, which had become accustomed to dividends of 25 and 50 percent, paid none penetrated the obtuse minds of the King\u2019s | whatever, and the North-West Company councillors, and it was determined that suffered in like manner.Incursions by | employecs of tho one upon territory cluimed exclusively by the other, led to what in more modern times are called \u201cstrained relations.\u201d Sanguinary feuds took place not less fierce than are recorded in the annals of the Scottish border, and in 1S16 the settlers at Red River were driven away, and Governor Semple killed.Extermination stared the rival compa- nics in the face, but founded as they had been for profit, they soon realized that friendship was necessary to their continuance, and, in 1821, amalgamated under the name of the older company, which enjoyed the privilege of a perpetual charter.Upon their union the Government zave as dowry to the impoverished couple the exclusive trade of the territory which, under the names of the Hudson's Bay and North-West Territories, extended from Labrador to the Pacific, and from the Red River to the Arctic Ocean.These were the halcyon days of the Hudson's Bay Company.It held Prince Rupert's and by perpetual charter, and the rest of the territory, including Vancouver Island granted it in 1848S, by special license until 1859, mainiaiviug under its supreme rule about 4,000,000 square miles.In 1860 it employed 5 surgeons, 87 clerks, 67 post masters, 1,200 permanent servants and 500 voyageurs, making, with temporary employees, about 3,000 men on its pay rolls, while about 100,009 Indians were actively cngaged in supplying it with furs.Its profits were enormous, being from May 31, 1852, to May 31, 1862, an annual average of £81,000 on a paid-up capital of £400,000, In 1863 the coripany was reorganized with a capital of £2,000,000, and Sir Edmund Head as Governor.But in 1869, the Dominion of Canada laid the grasp of ivilization npon the present North-West Territories and Manitoba, indemnifying the company by the payment of £3,000,- J00.Shorn long since of its feudal rights, the company is now a mere trading corporation, but still powerful and successful, peopling the inhospitable, barren wilds that fringe the Northern ocean with hardy hunters, whose traps and guns help wrap in costliest furs the inhabitants of most distant climes.In the days of Oudiette beaver skins averaged 3 francs each; today they are worth six times as much.A twofold cause was at work to force the establishment of fur-trading posts farther inland and northward.Where the plough of the farmer has turned the sod the wild beast is no longer at home, and throughout Canada, with the passage of years, astute commercial Jacob was supplanting the hunter Esau, and finally won the blessing of the first-born.It is Jiffi- cult to discover dates and facts in ihe commercial history of Canada, but she broad path of general progress is well marked.In 1776 Montreal passed through the humiliation of a foreign occupation, though, to do the ill-starred Montgomery justice, his conduct in that short hour of triumph became the soldier and the man.Me left us, as a legacy, one who had tome with him to Canada to induce the inhabitants to revolt, and who, finding his occupation gone, established in 1778 the Montreal \u201cGazette,\u201d the third paper in Canada in order of foundation, and the oldest at present in the Dominion.If the shades in hades patronize the press there must be one whose purification is being necom- plished by regular courses of editorials breathing loyalty to Great Britain from the pages of this Tory of Tories.How strangely turn the whirligigs of time! About 1792 Montreal was annexed to the neighboring states by the feehle tie of a fortnightly mail, increased by the close of the century to once a week.There was in 1792 a weekly mail to Quebec, and far as Detroit.The city was already in the van of commercial progress, yet had not water works, light nor drainage.In 1801 a fifty years monopoly was granted the proprietors of the Montreal Water \u2018Works, with a capital of £8,000, and power to increase it to £12,000.This company proposed to obtain a supply of water from a source behind the mountain, in wooden pipes, but the supply proved quite inadequate, while the piping lacked the strength to prevent bursting.The company finally sold out, and reservoirs were made, and in 1836 a service capable of throwing a stream to a height of 110 feet was inaugurated.Montreal now possesses two reservoirs on the mountain capable of containing 15,000,000 gallons.In ante-British days the priests had a large stone windmill at which the inhabitants of the town were constrained to have their grain ground, the priests retaining one-quarter as their portion.This mill may be regarded as the beginning of Montreal's manufacturing development, a development whose extent may be estimated to some degree by the knowledge that the city in 1890 contained 43 mills, employing 757 hands, 227 factories employing 2,996 hands, 77 manufactories with 1,084 hands, and 36 foundries employing 1,028 hands.The mills include seven flour mills, eleven coffee and spice mills, 20 saw and planing mills, three rolling and two woollen mills.There are six rubber factories employing nearly 1,000 hands; 28 cigar and tobacco factories, em- ploring over 2,000 hands; 53 boot and shoe factories, employing nearly 900 hands; two cotton factories, with about 1,400 employees, and other extensive industries of a similar nature.The completion of the Lachine Canal placed at the disposal of commerce water power estimated at 4,500,000 horse power, and, as a walk along the Canal basin will readily discover, Montreal has not failed to avail itself of this magnificent supply of force.The inauguration of the National Policy, whatever may have been its influence upon the general progress of the country, gave a great impetus to the manufacturing industries of Montreal and all the Dominion.In view of the, present tariff it is interesting to note the reception accorded the Jails Act in 1805, by which, for the purpose of accumulating funds to erect jails at Montreal and Quebec, a tax of 2 1-2 percent was placed upon all goods, etc, sold at auction; a duty of 2d.to Gd.per pound upon tea; 3d.per gallon on wines and strong liquor, and 2d.upon each gallon of syrup and molasses.The taxes were strenuously opposed by the commercial community, which gave a dinner to its representatives who opposed the bill in the House.The antagonism was 80 bitter that the chairman of the dinner and the editor of the *\u201cGazette,\u201d which had published the toasts, were ordered to be taken into the custody of the Sergeant- | at-arms, which worthy failed to find them, Among the toasts, none of them objece tionable to modern eyes and sense, was one worthy still to be drunk at every gathering of public-spirited men.\u201cProsperity to the commerce and agriculture of Canada, and may they aid each other, as their true interest dictates, by sharing a due proportion of advantages and burdens.\u201d The war of 1812 shed a lustre over Canadian arms that will never be forgotten, but, with the exception of a depression in trade and an experience of war prioes, Montreal had little to do with the war.Bread, which at ordinary times was sold at 11d.for the 4Ib white and 1s.for the GID brown, advanced to 1s.Gd.and 1s.8d.for these loaves respectively.About this period the city was enriched by the immigration of a number of families from the United States, whose heads established themselves in business under firm names.in some cases still well known to the commercial world.The city was lighted 15 lamps for the first time in November, 1815, and in 1818 a night watch of 24 men and a system of lighting were established by legislative enactment.In 1823 the Board of Trade was founded by a number of gentlemen who called themselves \u201cThe Council of Trade.\u201d In 1831 the city became a port of entry and sp- plied for a charter which was granted, and Was renewed in 1841, nearly two centuries after the foundation of Montreal.In the same year, 1831, at & public meeting at York, now Toronto, resolutions were drawn up in favor of the extension of tho boundaries of Ontario to include Montreal, on the grounds that Ontario required à seAport and that the trade of Montreal was more clearly related to that of Un- tario than that of the remainder of tne Province of Quebec.It was also stazed that there was difficulty in obtaining from Montreal customs\u2019 collectors the duties due on imports for Ontario.What would have been the consequence had the union been consummated is difficult to calculate, Science, the tireless servant of mane kind, having not many years previously tamed steam to do its master's bidding.now bound the lightning to the thoughts of man and bade it carry them.The invention of the telegraph dates from about 1844, and three years afterwards, July 28, 1847, the Montreal Telegraph Co.was or ganized.By 1849 it bud connected Mont« BANK OF MONTREAL IN 1839.real with Toronto and Quebce, the messages sent to the Torouto office being received by H.P.Dwight, the prèsent President of the Great North-Western.A message from Toronto to Montreal cost 3s.9d.Halifax currency for ten words, and 4s.6d.to Quebec.Yet the average daily earnings were only $50 against §1,- 750 thirty years later under n far lower rate.In 1847 the Gas Co.was established.The year 1850 was not commercially satisfactory, but remains bright in the annals of trade on account of a most successful fair opened in Bonsecours Hall, Oct.17th, and attended by from 20,000 to 30,000 people.This fair was held in order to prepare for the great International Exhibition in London in the following year, and resulted in 200 packages bes ing sent forward, by which the attention of Great Britain was called to Canada in à most practical manner.The war bee tween Great Britain and Russia in 1854, while improving the\u201d demand for cereals, injuriously affected commerce in Montreal through stringent European money mare kets, etc., while American tourists, upon whom the retail trader then as now relied for no small portion of his summer trade, were deterred from visiting the city through the prevalence of cholera.This, conpled with the unusually late arrival of the spring importations, resulted in leave ing large stocks on hand.An improvement in business character ized the following year, while the city was thronged in March with visitors to a fair held in anticipation of the Paris Exhibition, and which was very successful.In the same year also the Redpath Sugar Refinery was established, and Montreal was visited by a French admiral to arrange for closer trade relations between Canada and France.In 1858 a torchlight procession of about 20,000 souls (including spectators), a general illumination and a mili tary parade, expressed the jubilation of Montreal over the successful laying of the first Atlantic cable.The procession, come posed of tradesmen and handicraftsmen, was a mile long and marched six abreast.Two years later the city car service was established, perhaps the only record of those times which exists to-day, in all its early simplicity, among the creations and advances of the past thirty-two years.If some home-loving ghost should revisit the city, some Rip Van Winkle awaken from vinous slumber, it would scarcely be our street railway which would convince him of the fact that he was not still in a city of 91,000 inhabitants.In the direction of suburban development Montreal cannot much longer delay moving, and with satisfactory transportation facilities the tide of population at present dammed up within narrow limits will inundate surrounding districts, increasing the value of land therein.and bringing down to a more reasonable figure rents and values in the city proper.The reciprocity treatv of 1855, followed by the American Civil War, led ta increased activity of trade in Montreal, her citizens, as well as those of other Canadian cities, supplying many of the needs of the army of 1,000,000 taken from pen and plough in those days of trial.The confederation of the provinces in 1867 set the crown of commercial supremacy upon the brow of Montreal.Through her passer the commerce of cast and west, 'a coms merce which from year to year has cons stantly augmented, drawing closer in « bond of unity the divers sections of the Dominion.Some idea of the amount of commerce of this nature centering in Montreal can be formed from the fact that the inland craft entering the port im , 10 2800 numbered 5,162, while 720 freight and cattle cars arrived daily during the \u2018game year, to say nothing of the 252 gulf, lake and river steamers which tied up at \u2018quer wharves.The abrogation of the Reciprocity } Treaty and the substitution of a policy of high tariffs on the part of the United States, coupled with a counter tariff on the part of Canada, have resulted in im- poding intercourse with our sbutbern neighbor which it is the policy of this paper to advocate, and which, with certain restrictions, I am as anxious to bring about as the staunchest Liberal in the country.The natural result of these hostile tariffs is to compel Canadians to seek markets more accessible than the United States.Our established manufacturing industries are, I believe, in most cases fully up to the requirements of the home market.Our farm produce, especially butter, cheese and eggs, and our cattle, are abundant, and have obtained a name in the British markets.It would appear that a continuance of the present commercial policy of the Dominion must result in ever-increasing exports, and in this dephrt- ment Montreal cannot but have the lead.She is the hub of Canadian commerce, and, like the hub, progresses with the revolution of the wheel of trade.Through her by far the largest portion of our exports and imports must pass to and from the mea, as well as by land, and the development of our shipping interests as well as the growth of railroading must of necessity occupy a large portion of this review.In the years gone by, when, for instance, Cartier visited the town then upon the site of Montreal, he was com- ' pelled by the shallowness of the river to abandon his larger vessel and approach » the town by means of his pinuace.In the year 1805 the Trinity House was established by act of Parliament, with important powers relative to the navigation of the St.Lawrence, and twenty years \u2018later we find the merchants of Montreal j and Quebec petitioning Parliament for a i channel, particularly through Lake St.| Peter, which would permit the passage of vessels of 200 tons! In 1830 an Act was passed providing for the improvement of ! the harbour of Montreal, pursuant to ! which our stone wharves were construct- ! ed.In the following year the city was at * last made a port of entry,and by 1841 the Board of Works was authorized to begin operations for deepening the channel between this city and © bec.At that time , there was only eleven feet tn Lake St.Peter during low water, but by 1851 the Harbour Commissioners began dredging, and in November of the same year it was deemed a wonderful advance when the \u201cCity of Manchester\u201d passed down the river, drawing 14 feet.In 1853 the depth was increased to 16 feet 2 inches, and the breadth of the channel to 150 feet.Every year saw improvements made, and by 1869 vessels drawing 20 feet could make the passage in safety, while today tho Channel will permit navigation by vessels drawing 27 feet 6 inches.To sink the channel to 20 feet cost over $1,250,000, of which the Government paid $900,000.This deepening of the channel accompanied and caused a vast expansion of the shipping of the city, made more important by the establishment of steam navigation.To a citizen of Montreal belongs the honor of launching the second steam vessel which navigated the waters of America.In 1809 John Molson launched the \u201cAc comrmodation,\u201d a steam vessel of eighty- five feet length, and which with ten pds- sengers made the trip to Quebec on Nov.3rd, arriving at its destinatton some sixty- six hours after it left Montreal, of which time thirty hours were spent at anchor in Lake St.Peter.As might have been expected, this vessel created a great deal of excitement.In the following year Mr.Molson applied fer a monopoly of the steam navigation of Canada, as well as for that in steamboat building, and on the 20th of August, 1812, he launched the \u201cSwiftsure,\u201d acknowledged by a contemporary the fiuest of her class in America, in the presence of the Governor-General, who seemed as much in demand for events of all kinds in those days as he now is.\u2018This ship made her first voyage on May 4th, 1813, seventy-nine years ago, and was of great value during the war in transporting troops from Montreal and Quebec.Mr.Molson was not the only person who desired 8 monopoly n this branch of commerce.In 1817 one Joseph Page petitioned for the exclusive right to construct and navigate vessels propelled by steam, afier a pattern of his own, and not a fortnight after his petition was presented John Goudie asked for the monopoly of the commerce by steam power of the Canadian portion of Lake Champlain, desiring to oust the United States vessels which at times invaded the locality.By 1819 there were no fewer than seven steamers plying between Montreal and Quebec, the \u201cMalsham,\u201d *\u201cSwiftsure,\u201d \u201cLady Sherbrooke\u201d (the finest boat on the line), \u201cQuebec,\u201d \u201cTelegraph,\u201d \u201cCar of Commerce\u201d and the \u2018Caledonia.With the deepeuing of the ship channel, which may be considered a submarine canal of unusual extent, ocean traffic became possible, and in 1853 the first company to run a regular line of steamers between Montreal aud Great Britain was chastecred, and granted a subsidy of $19.000 per an- num by the Government to carry a fortnightly mail, and $4,000 by the St.Lawrence and Atlantic Railway, as well as $1,000 by the city of Portland as an inducement to cnll there.The \u201cGenova,\u201d of 350 tons (save the mark), the pioneur of ocean commerce to Montreal, arrived in port on May 10th, 1858, being followed by the \u201cLady Eglinton,\u201d of 335 tons, while the \u201cSarah Sands,\u201d consigred to Messrs.Gillespie, Moffat & Co., arrived in October of the same year.In 1858 the Canadian Steam Navigation Co.having proved an unsatisfactory vensuro to all parties ¢oncerned, the Allan Line tendered for and obtained the Governmeat mail contract, and began its regular trips.During the seven years following, and including 1857, this line met with disaster after disaster to its vessels, losing rine, with considerable loss of lifo as well, but at the present date no line is more safe nor any in Canada more satisfactory than this Nestor of Montreal ocean traffic.would occupy too much space to refer to the numerous lines now making Montreal their goanl.Lovell's report of the Census for 1890 gives 20 vessels to the Allan fleet, six to the Donaldson line, six also to the Thompson line, five to the Ross : Steamship Co., 10 to the Dominion line, seven to the Hansa, two to the Bossiere and five to the Beaver line, making in all 61 ocean vessels, while the number of \u2018tramp or consigned steamers considerably lewells the Hst.During 1890 some 624 ! steam ocean-going vessels were consigned \u2018to Montreal, of an aggregate tonnage of \"889,189.Statistics show that while the It \u2014\u2014 of larger vessels.The average tonnago of vessels arriving in port in 1830 was only 218, while that in 1891 was 1,283.In 1850 there arrived in port 211 vessels of 45,156 tonnage, bringing $7,174,180 worth of goods and taking away $1,744,- 772, while the customs dues were $1,009, 256.In 1891 there arrived 725 vessels of the same class (occan-going), which brought $44,408,670 of goods and took away $39,464,783, while the customs duties were $7,297,228, or about $2,000,- 000 less than in 1890, owing to the removal of the sugar duties.While the deepening of the channel between Montreal and Quebec has led to a wonderful development in ocean traffic from this port, other causes have been at work to increase the inland shipping.The growth of ipterprovincial trade has brought an ever-increasing number of coasters to the port.While the number of coasting vessels arriving in 1881 were only 212, registering 99,378 tons, these had increased by 1890 to 295, registering 239,606 tons, indicating here also an in- orease in the size of the vessels arriving in port.Only Halifax and Victoria excel Montreal in the number and tonnage of vessels arriving in their ports, and both these cities are upon the ocean shore.But in the matter of British shipping Montreal stands easily first in importance.JACQUES VIGER, FIRST MAYOR OF MONTREAL.The shipping trade with the upper provinces by way of the St.Lawrence river was early appreciated, and steps were taken, at an enormous cost, to remove ail impediments to it.The first sod of the Lachine Canal was removed by the Hon.John Richardson in 1821, the scheme having had among its most ardent supporters the Hon.John Young.The canal system overcoming the difficulties of navigation between Lake Superior and Montreal, cost originally about $15,000,000, with a further eost for enlargement of $20,500,000, while to secure a uniform depth of 14 feet throughout will require a further sum of $14,500,000 (including $2,500,000 on th» Sault Ste.Marie Canal).This Sault canal is designed to pass vessels drawing 19 feet.Up to 1876 the Government contemplated action upon the lines of the Qom- mission of 1870, making the canals 12 feet in depth; but in the latter year it was induced by numerous representations on the part of the commercial community to revise its plans and devise a 14 feet system.The Welland Canal, when completed, had cost $16.000,000, and while the foundations of the Lachine Canal have been sunk to the required depth there are still soma \u20ac 1-2 miles of the channel to be dredged, which will cost about $1,250,000.\u2018There are several shoals in Lake St.Louis to be removed, which will cost another $1,- 250,000, while it will require about $2,- 100,000 to complete the Cornwall Canal, and the Williamsburg Canal and river work between Cornwall and Prescott will require $2,770,000.It will be seen that to accommodate shipping trending towards Montreal about $56,000,000 will have been expended to bring the channels to a depth of 14 feet.For a country of less than 5,000,000 inhabitants this is a pretty heavy expenditure, yet there are not lacking many who desire to see our eanal and river system beyond this depth.There is no doubt that, theoretically, perfection will not be attained in this matter before ocean vessels can pass from Lake Superior to the sea.But situated, as is Montreal, within the winter zone, and subject to the closing of river navigation for several months of the year, her citizens do not rely entirely upon vessels for transportation facilities.She has been in the van in the development of a system of railways which is the admiration of the world, and which at all seasons of the year places her in communication with the ends of the earth.Ia Salle, who erroneously regarded the St.Lawrence as the highway to China, fossilizing his mistake in Lachine, came nearer the truth than he has been given credit for.From our depots trains run daily through historic Quebec province, through Ontario, made sacred by the U.E.Loyalists, through Manitoba, not long since the haunt of the fur trader, and into and beyond miles upon miles of prairie, over the towering crags of the Rockies to where the calm waters of the Pacific Ocean lave the utmost shores of Canada.The first railway in Canada, the Champlain and St.Lawrence, was chartered in 1831 to run from Laprairie to St.John's, P.Q., and opened for traffic in 1836.The road was afterwards extended to Rouse\u2019s Point and a branch run into St.Lamberts, in 1852.In the preceding year the opening of the St.Lawrence and Atlantic road, from Longueuil to Richmond, Que., had been celebrated by the city with procession, ball and dinner, as seemed the usage of that time.But imposing as were these ceremonies, their glory paled before those which attended the early development of the Grand Trunk Railway, now so conservative, quiet and unostentatious in its progress.The line from Montreal to Portland, opened in 1833, was feted; that to Brockville in 1855 was gloriously celebrated, while the proceedings which attended the opening of the road to Toronto, which took place on the 12th and 13th November, 1856, brought over 15,000 visitors to the, city.Four thousand persons rttendad the commemorative banquet at Point St.Charles.In 1860, however, Royalty itself was brought into requisi- tien, the Prince of Wales opening that most wonderful structure, the Victoria Bridge, on May 25th.The C.P.R.itself ! could no further go in advertising.The ; bridge is one of the most noble of engi- \"neering triumphs and marks, pethaps, the .acme of the tubular class.The designer was Robert Stephenson, the builder dames Hodges, and Sir Samuel Morton - Peto, Thomas Brassy and Edward Ladd, contractors.The first stone of Pier No.1 was laid on the 20th July, 1854, and the first train with passengers traversed the i bridge 17th Dec., 1859.The structure is 9,184 feet long, of 23 spans of 242 feet and one, in the centre, of 330 feet.This last is GO

miles of railway, and extends from Portland to Chicago, a distance of 1154 miles.It has also a double track for most of the distance between Montreal and Hamilton, which is not included in the above mileage.It employs close upon 3,000 hands in this city alone, and its depot receives daily about 125 passenger cars and 625 cars of freight.Montreal also is the goal of the Canada Atlantic, Central Vermont and Delaware and Hudson, while it is the headquarters of the Canadian Pacific system, which joins with bands of steel the Atlantic port of Halifax and the Pacific port of Vancouver.It is 3,660 miles in length, from ocean to ocean, and employs in this city about the same number of hands as the Grand Trunk.This railroad was chartered in 1850.and completed to the Pacific slope in 1880.It has its own steamers upon the great lakes and the Pacific Ocean, and affords the shortest route from Asia to Europe across the American continent through Montreal.An offshoot of this company, the C.P.R.telegraph system, has over 25,000 miles of wire, while the Commercial Cable Company, in which several of its principals are interested, is one of the most successful extant, under the able management of Mr.Chas.Hosmer.The Great North- \u2018Western Telegraph Company has about 300 employees in this city, and operates the lines of the Montreal, Dominion and Canada Mutual Co.'s.: Montreal, as the commercial centre of Canada, is, perforce, also the financial centre of this country, and the stability of its monetary institutions challenges the admiration of the world.The develop ment of the financial strength of Montreal is an interesting and instructive study, and one which of necessity iucludes in many of its phases the general development of the whole Dominion.Many of the commercial laws of Canada, and not a small portion of its currency system, were conceived in this city, which bas been ably seconded ir all movements towards desirable reform by its sister cities in other provinces.The present excellent cur: rency of Canada was not obtained without many mis-steps, and while I have no desire tu eredit Montreal with all the honor of its inception, this city has, in its misfortunes and its successes, played so important a part in bringing about the present state of things, that a brief reference to the history of Canadian currency can scarcely be omitted in this review.When the French arrived in Canada a species of shell called wampum wus current among the Indians as money.The growth of the fur trade led to the use of beaver skins as the unit of exthange, while, in 1669, the development of agriculture led to the acceptance of wheat as & legal tender at 4 francs \u2018le minot.\u201d In 1774 moose skins at the market rate wero created a legal tender.The substitution of these various commodities for money was not at all strange in view of the fact that beaver skins were by law accepted by the trading company at a fixed rate, and also in view of the circumstance that it was impossible to keep coin in the colony, against which the balance of trade with France was very heavy.In the attempt to improve matters In this respect the country was plunged into confusion and disaster.A currency inferior to that 4 of France was struck for Canada, the colonial livre or franc equalling only three- quarters that of the mother jand.It was thought that this would check the export of coin, but the Government failed to realize the fact that coin when exported goes out as bullion, that is to say at its intrinsic and not its face value, and the only result of this issue was a fictitious rise in the value of commodities proportionate to the inferiority of the colonial to the Imperial coinage; and the coin fled the country as before.Even this error in finance would have led to no actusyl hardship, but it was followed by one far more absurd and vastly more serious in its results.For lack of coin, bills of exchange payable in some colonial product, such as furs, were issued, and in 1685 the Intendant Meules, finding himself pressed for funds, issued \u201ccard money,\u201d which was made redeemable in bills of exchange.He raised the SIEUR DE MAISSONEUVE, FOUNDER OF MONTREAL.wind, and the colony reaped the whirlwind.The system was so simple, and the results for a time so satisfactory, that governors and intendants gladly followed it until, by 1714, there were 2,000,000 livres of this card money in circulation, and confidence failed.The Government offered to redeem the cards at half their face value, but, after accepting a small portion, discoutinued the redemption.In 1717 a new issue took place, which was declared to be the last, but this strange currency, like a prima donna, was not content with one positively last appearance, and another was on the cards in 1725.At the close of the French regime the colony was hopelessly floundering in an ocean of worthless paper, and \u2018\u2018while the British were capturing Canada by force of arms, the French monarch was destroying the commerce and prosperity of his subjects by dishonoring the bills of exchange of the Intendant, to whom he Lad granted absolute power; thus involving in ruin not only the holders of 12,000,- 000 livres (£500,000 stg.), but also those who possessed any paper currency, which at the Conquest amounted to £4,000,000 stg., and the only compensation received for which was four per cent.on the origi- rail value.\u201d Four millions of pounds sterling amounts to nearly $20,000,000, or the limit of issue permitted in these days to the Government of Canada, an issue not \u2014ma \u2014 yot reached by about $4,000,000.The quotation is from \u201cIllustrated Canada,\u2019 and as I have not been able to verify the statement of figures I gige it for what it may be worth.The habitant had learned a bitter lesson, but he learned it well, and to this day is quick to take fright at the faintest breath of suspicion against any bank wbose notes he may hold, as bankers too well know.And his general ignorance of finance increases the trouble.If a bank, reaching the limit of its circulation, should issue notes of a confrere, for which it has had to pay in legal tender, proving its solidity, the habitant has heen known to grow fearful.When the Bank of Montreal was in its childhood it had to combat such fears ; very Assiduously, and it was not a rare occurrence for the Molsons or other well- known firms to have to endorse the notes = equalled four dollars and forty-four gents of United States money.In 1334 tl e United States reduced the weight of its coinage so that it required 9 1-2 per cent to be udded to the old par of $4.44 to express the value of the soveralgi in the new coinage.Canada followed the same course in the Act of 1841, and we find in this the explanation of the yuotations of sterling exchange, which are so moysteri- ous to the uninitiated.In Janmuy, 1858, the Government began to keep its accounts in dollars and cents, pursuant to the Act of 1857, and its example was generally followed by merchants, who up to that date had used the British system.In 1866 the Government essayed a note issue, an Act being passed providing for a note issue of $5,000,000, apd a further issue of $3,000,000 for purposes relative to the surrender by all or any of the char- of this bank before their customers would ' tered bauks of their power to issue b ots.be satisfied to accept them in payment.| The issue in question was managed by the Even during the discussion upon the new Bank Act shallow financiers, not all of French origin, showed the lingering fear of paper money in an attempt to destroy the elasticity of our currency and withdraw from use about $36,000,000, a withdrawal which would have seriously affected the commerce of the country and have sent rates of interest to a point far in excess of those ruling to-day.Taking into HON.PETER M\u2019GILL, FIRST ENGLISH MAYOR OE MONTREAL.consideration only capital and circulation, the one based upon the other, the Banks of Canada have at their disposal, for commercial purposes, about $120,000,000, or twice their capital.Had the cireulation been placed upon the National Bank basis, the banks would have had to withdraw from use sufficient to redeem their circulation and place it with the Government.The bank note issue is a first lien upon the assets, and it is calculated that each dollar of this issue has behind it, not one dollar in the Dominion treasury, but nine dollars of assets in the banks, while there exists a fund deposited with the Government to guarantee the prompt redemption of the note issue of an insolvent bank, The first bank established in Canada was the Bank of Montreal, with a capital of 187,500 old currency, or $850,000, the intention of its promoters being to increase the sum to $1,000,000, a modest ambition in view of the subsequent development of this gigantic institution.\u201cThe City Bank followed in 1821, with a capital of $1,200,000.I am, of course, confining myself to banks established in Montreal, as the next bank in Canada :was, I believe, the Quebec Bank, established in 1818, in which year the Bank of Montral received its charter.The second oldest existing bank in Montreal is La Banque du Peuple, established in 1825 as Viger, Dewitt & Co., and still \u201cen com- .mandite.\u201d\u201d Its original capital was $300,- 000, increased in 1844 to $800,000, and in 1861 to $1,600,000.The Bank of British North America, under Royal charter, was established in 1836 with a capital of £1,000,000, and in 1853 the Molsons Bank began operations under the Free Banking Act of Sir Francis Hincks, a charter being substituted in 1855.The Free Banking Act was almost identical with the National Bank system and preceded it Ly ten years.The present capital of the Mol- sons Bank is $2,000,000.In 1861 the Merchants Bank of Canada was incorporated, with an authorized capital of $2,000,000, but its promoters, finding it { impossible to raise the $200,000 necessary to begin operations, petitioned Parliament for permission to begin upon $100,000, which was accorded in the following year.It seems strange to note the names of the petitioners in that instance, They were Sir Hugh Allan, Harrison Stephens, William Edmonstone, Andrew Allan, Ira Gould, John Smith and Robert Anderson, any one of whom could, in later days, have given his individual cheque for the deficit.The Banque Jacques Cartier was established in 1862, teginuing with $700,- 000 of its authorized capital of $1,000,000 paid-up.The capital was subsequently increased to $2,000,000.Ten years later the Ville Marie Bank was established, and in the following year the Hochelaga Bank, since which time the increased demands of commerce for accommodation in Montreal has been met, not by the organization of other institutions, but by the expansion of those already extant.I have neglected mention of several unfortunates whose names are now à memory, but will return to them in a moment.In 1871 the Bank of Montreal had a capital of $6,000,000, and in that year authority was given to increase this to $12,000,600, which was done in the following year, the profits from the sale of the new stock (which was given to shareholders at 25 per cent premium, the balance being sold in open market) being carried to swell the Reserve Fund, wlich is now $06,000,000.The profits in question amounted to about $1,500,000.In 1871 the Savings Bank obtained its charter.A peculiar item in respect of this bank is that it is permitted to loan on bank stocks, and does so to a large amount, so that at times it becomes really a question of interest whether a deposit receipt in that institution is as good value as a note of another bank, since the notes of the banks are a first lien upon the assets, while the stock is subject to the double liability.The advance in banking in Montreal has been very great, as will be apparent from the following table: Capital Deposits Circu'tion Discountg 1838, 813,457,901 $ 6,123,958 $ 6,205,866 s20.8m.031 1868.18,781,283 20,388,171 2,462,317 48,167.1878.33,895,111

causes, both of which bring us to a further consideration of Canadian currency.In 1796 the Canadas made the United States coinage legal tender at five shillings currency to the dollar.The coinage of the latter country was at that time based upon the old Halifax currency, which bore to ster- ! ling money the proportion of nine to ten; \u201cthat is, ten pounds currency equalled nine pounds sterling, so that the sterling pound ' Bank of Montreal, which abandoned its own circulation for a time, but the other banks declined to assist, and the Bank of Montreal resumed its own circulation in 1871, which rose from $182,483 to $3.116,037 by April, 1872.The other cause for the decrease in circulation during the decade ending 18068 was the \u2018'Silver Nuisance.\u201d The susupension of gpecie payment in the United States in 1862, incident to the American Civil War, caused a large influx of United States silver coin into Ca- pada, which passed at par in payment of wages and retail transactions, but was not bankable.Merchants were compelled to exchange their holdings of this silver at a discount for bankable funds with the brokers, suffering heavy aggregate losses.To a Montrealer belongs the honor of taking the leading part in removing this incubus from the shoulders of commerce.For two vears my father, William Weir, agitated the question of removing the depreciated coin from the country, and during that period he exported by bis individual efforts some $2,000,000, the Government exporting $1,000,000.In 1869 he attempted to export a further $2,000,000, but failed to do so through lack of adequate support.He laid his plans once more before the Government and succeeded in winning the support of the Ii- nance Minister, Sir Francis Hincks, who in 1870 threw himself heartily into the undertaking and entered into a contract with Mr.Weir to remove the silver.In pursuance to an Act passed by Sir John Rose, a proclamation was issued making United States silyer legal tender in Canada to the amount of ten dollars, but at a discount of 20 per cent on the face value of the coin, the proclamation to take effect on April 1st, 1870.The Government, however, undertook, through Mr.Weir and his agents to receive the silver at a discount of five per cent for the first $1,000,000, five and a-half per cent for the second $1,000,000, and six per cent for the remainder.As a natural consequence holders of the silver were soon eager to dispose of it, and during the three months of April, May and June $5,000, 000 of the silver was exported from the country, at a cost to the Government of $118,000.Mr.Weir was assisted in this work by seventy banks and bank agencies from Quebec to Sarnia, and in addition exported at his own risk some $500,000 of the smaller coins.The Government had its own silver coinage struck, using in the meantime a temporary issue of a fractional note for twenty-five cents.In the same year the decimal currency was definitely adopted by the reception of the penny and halfpenny token at two cents and one cent.To recoup itself for its expenditure the Government took over the monopoly of the note issue of $1.00, $2.00, and subsequently the $4.00 note, leaving to the banks the $5.00 note and its multiples.\u2018Where so much capital is employed it is natural to find losses, and the history of banking failures in this city has been a sad one.Since 1878 the Mechanics and Exchange Banks have failed, and the Metropolitan and Consolidated wound up, causing a loss to the shareholders of nearly $5,000,000.The depression from 1874 to 1878 resulted most disastrously to the banking community.The Merchants Bank, which had increased its capital to $9,000,000 by 1876, was forced by losses upon the assets of the Commercial Bank which it had taken over, to reduce its capital one-third, which was done in 1878.This was not so much an outcome of the depression as a mistake in valuing the assets in question.But the Jacques Cartier Bank bad to reduce its capital three-quar- ters, the Ville Marie one-half, and the Banque du Peuple later on one-quarter, the three institutions wiping out a total of $2,300,000, while the intrinsic value of the stock of the banks almost without exception was materially decreased, and was some years in recovering its position.There bas been a change of administration in every case so far as the then erip- pled banks are concerned, and some of them have risen into the first rank among Canadian institutions, while there is not one which has not now a full share of public confidence.A comparison of the banks in Montreal and Toronto may be made in no carping spirit, for both centres may well be proud of their financial institutions.The Toronto banks seem under the necessity of working at somewhat higher pressure than their Montreal confreres, and it may be supposed that in the event of serious financial crises the coun- tty would have to look chiefly to Montreal for support in the hour of trial.There are few banks in Canada of any magnitude which are not represented in Montreal by an agency, and every day sixteen banks or agencies discharge their mutual obligations through the Clearing House, which was established in 1889.During that year the clearings amounted to $454,- 529,700, rising in the ensuing year to $473,054,000, and in 1891 to $514,607,- 000.As the clearings of the local stock exchange are not included in these figures it is impossible to compare Montreal with the leading American cities in respect of Clearing House transactions.Even at this disadvantage, however, this city stands tenth among American financial cities.As indicating the amount of business transacted by or through the banks in Montreal I may state from the speech of the general manager, Mr.George Haguë, that during 1890 the Merchants Bank of Canada paid at its various offices cheques amounting to $200,000,000, discounted $100,000,000, received $160,000,000 of deposits, and received and transmitted to the United States and Great Britain another $100,000,000.These amounts were not, of course, all current at the one time, but show the volume of business transacted during a comparatively gull year.The earning power of our city banks is very great.They had in March, 1892, terest, à circulation of $13,000,000, a about $25,000,000 on deposit without in- capital of $27,500,000, and a reserve fund of $12,000,000 (about), making a total of 77,500.000 of non-interest bearing funds with which to pay dividend upon $27,500, 000, to say nothing of the profits accruing from the judicious investment of interest.bearing deposits, amounting to $35,057, 693.Much have I written of the commerce and finance of Montreal, and as much more could I write if accorded the space to do so.In our midst, in magnificent buildings earnest of stability within, are numerous home and foreign insurance companies.The extensive New York Life Building, the Standard with its sturdy Ats las, the Imperial, Sun Life, and Royal buildings, are as well known to our citizens as the companies themselves ard known throughout Canada, and it is a pleasure to state, while acknowledging tha merit and welcoming the presence of for« eign institutions, that Canadian Life in« surance companies are in equal, if not greater favor here.I might also hava touched upon old lumbering days, the floating islands of logs which daily swept down tbe rapids at Lachine, and whose titanic oars one finds at times far inland as fences on fertile farms.The advancement of Montreal in the past is a certain indication of progress in the future, and we may expect her to grow even more rapidly now from year to year than ever before.She is the commercial maelstrom of Canada, draw ing to her the wealth and brawn and brains of tlhe country with ever-waxing power.She possesses advantages enjoyed by no other centre in the Dominion, As far back as 1859 Sir William Dawson, the esteemed principal of McGill University, referred to her in words as apropos to-day as they were then to the point: \u201cIn its situation at the confluence of the two greatest rivers, the St.Lawrence and Ottawa; opposite the great natural highway of the Hudson and Champlain valley; at the point where the St.Lawrence ceases to be navigable for ocean ships, and where the great river, for the last time in its course to the sea, affords a gigantic water power; at the meeting point of the two races that divide Canada, and in the centre of a fertile plain nearly as large as all England: in these we recognize a guarantee for the future greatness of Montreal, not based on the frail tenura of human legisiation, but in the unchange ing decrees of the Eternal, as stamped on the world he has made.We know from the study of these indications that wera Canada to be again a wilderness, and were a second Cartier to explore it he might wander over all the great regions of Canada and the West, and, returning to our mountain ridge, call it again Mount Royal, and say that to this point the wealth and trade of Canada must turn.\u201d ARTHUR WEIR.Montreal.Dakota Girls Are Not Slow.Fargo

The quan» tity needed for the exploit is very small, for no one takes a sponge bath in the lubricant, unless it be one of the Persian young ladies anxiously fattening herself to be fair in the eyes of her Mustapha-ruc-adub-keli-khan.But the independent young woman who is her own bather and rubber has the best of it, for she can choose her own time for the process, and, by saving the eost of a professional rubber, she can afford to use a mors expensive ungent, i.e.that famous mixture of lanotine and cocoa-butter which is so readily absorbed by the skin as to underline it with fat and give it the texture of a magnolia petal.Bandeaux and Tinras for the Hair.\\ Hardly a woman wears her hair entirely plain.She may not be given to puffing and waving and curling the locks themselves, but she is very apt to introduce some sort of ornament into it.Bandeaux are very popular, and come in gold, silver, and tortoise shell, as well as in ribbon to match the gown.Then there is an especially

_\u2014\u2014 A RECORD OF ITS DEVELOPMENT Sketches of the Men Who Manage It.RAILWAYS have been laid clear across continents\u2014span- ning rivers and valleys and girding mountains \u2014 uniting nations in daily communion, and interweaving them into great common bond of interest, and yet not one of them has done more for the land which gave it its existence than the Grand \u2018Trunk has for Canada.Many times have the newspapers told the story of the inception of the road in 1849.DPessimists argued that the country was in no hurry for a railway, but the passing of an act by the government of Earl Elgin gave an impetus to the idea, and even before the Grand Trunk proper was granted a charter in 1851, the following roads sprang into a healthy existence: Great Western Railway, the Northern and the St.Lawrence and Atlantic line from Longueuil to Island Pond.The importance of fostering a home industry wae forced upon L.J.SEARGENT.Mr.Lewis James Seargeant, who suc- teeded Sir Joseph Hickson as general manager of the Grand Trunk, as president of the Chicago and Grand Trunk, the Midland, the St.Clair Tunnel company and the other offices attached.to that position, is a native of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, England, and received his early training upon the Great Western and other English railways.He came to Canada in 1874 upon the invitation of the president and directors of the Grand Truck, when he was appointed vice-chairman of the Canadian exccu- tive council of the railway.At this timo also he assumed the duties of tral- fic manager, being the first gentleman to hold such an office on the continent.While holding that position, Mr.Sear- geant was instrumental in forming the Central Traffic Association of Western ern railways, an organization of which he afterwards became vice-president.When 8ir Joseph Hickson retired from | active work in 1890 the directors naturally chose Mr.Seargeant as his successor, and he assumed his duties in January, 1891.the government and the substantial assistance rendered to the promoters warranted them in issuing the prospectus of the Grand Trunk Railway in 1853, Among the names attached to this document were Hon, Messrs.John Ross, Francis Hincks, E, P.Tache, J.Morris, R.E.Caron, Thos.Barny, M.P., G.C.Flynn, M.P.Bir C.P.Rooney was the general director, 8.B.Biggur general manager; A, M.Ross, Chief Engineer.OPENINA OF THE LINE.The progress of the undertaking was rapid in the extreme, and success attended the efforts of the directors at every turn, In 1854 the line between Richmond and Quebec was opened; in 1856 between Montreal and Toronto and in 1859 between Toronto and Point Edward, Early in the history of the road {t was seen that in order to consummate the t plans which had been laid out, it would be necessary to span the Bt.Lawrence.To the majority of people in this country at that period, this scheme was quixotic in the extreme.At a cost of between $7,000,000 and $8,000,000 the bridgo was built and la Decomber, 1850 it was formally opened.A CHAXGE OF MANGEMENT.In the tremendous outlay necessary for the completion of the enterprise, it {s nat to be wondered at that a shadow W.WAINWRIGHT.Mr.Wm.Wainwright, the assistant general manager of the road, is an Englishman out and out.He was born in Manchester in 1840, and at tho age of 18 years he commenceed what has turned out to be a brilliant railway career.He was first secretary to the assistant manager of the Manchesteer, Sheffield and Lincolnshire railway, and in 1862 he accepted a position as secretary to the managing director of the G.T.R.in Canada.He afterwards became the general passenger agent, and the ability with which he filled this important position proved him capable of assuming a still more important office\u2014the assistant general management.From one end of the road to the other Mr.Wainwright is popular with the employees, and in commercial circles his skill as a business man is looked upon with the greatest respect.He is a director of several affiliated lines of the company, as well as being director in the following companies: The Richelieu & Ontario Navigation company, the Guarantee Company of North America, the Accident Company of North America.overcame the prospects of any dividend for the time being.It was necessary to at once take steps towards a better financial management, and in this connection the name of Mr.C.J, Brydges \u201d SE grave = will always be remembered, Hard work and the hearty co-operation of the directors soon put the concern on the track towards prosperity.In 1874 another change was made, and Sir Joseph Hickson (then Mr.J.Hickson) took hold of the management, It was not long after this that it was seen that the gauge of the road required changing in order to bring it in harmony with the American lines, and though this was a costly move, it was successfully offect- ed, In connection with this came the great fight for an entrance into Chicago, and with the attainment of this object, in spite of the stand taken by the American railroad kings, Sir Joseph Hickson took a place as a master of diplomacy and tact, THE ROAD AS IT IS TO-DAY, If a Rip Van Winkle could awake from & long slumber\u2014beginning half a century ago\u2014and gaze upon the whole G.T.R.system, with its scores of de-\u2019 pots, its offices, its thousands of miles of track, its nearly 20,000 employees, its immense number of cars, which carry more people annually than the entire po- pulaticn of Canada, how utterly incom- rrebeusible it would be to him.Io had fallen asleep thinking of the stage coach and saddle horse, and did ho awake now to behold that same country traversed by a vast system of railways, moved by some unseen eunergy, and not dependent upon animal strength for its power.Be it evolution or development\u2014call it what you will\u2014no man could make him believe that he had awakened in the same land in which he fell asleep only fifty years ago, The Grand Trunk to-day has no less than 3,499 1-2 miles of track on which there is constant traffic; there are 865 1-2 miles of double track and 671 1-2 miles of siding, making a grand total of 4,636 1-2 miles.THE ROLLING STOCK.The rolling stock necessary for the immense {reight and passenger work of the company is so large, that to those who are uninitiated into the wonders of such a great concern, the truth scems incredible, Seven hundred and ninety engines are required to draw tho 901 passenger cars, and 22,486 freight cars.During the year 1891 thers wers no less than 6,565,172 passengers carried, and the freight amounted to 4,383,233 tous.In conversation with one of the heads of the G.T.R., a Herald representative said: \u2018 Some one must make a neat sum out the building of rolling stock ?\u201d The reply was: \u2018\u201c\u201c We build it all ourselves, We havo car shops at Portland, Montreal, Toronto, London aud Brant- ford, Our locomotive shops are at Gor- ham, Point St, Charles, Stratford and Toronto.\u201d .With the exception of car springs, tubes and tyres, everything used in the construction of the engines and cars is made by the company, HANDS EMPLOYED.The total number of people employed by the G.T.R.is 19,270.The traffic department, which includes the officers, agents, clerks, and all those required to look after the freight and passengers, requires 6,670 people, Under the head- icg of the ongineers may be mentioned tho entire staff of men who have charge of the tracks, There are 6,200 hands employed®in this department, The mechanical departments numbers 6,400, It would be well just here to give the names of the officers of the company: SIR HENRY TYLER.Sir Henry Tyler's life has been devoted to railroad work, For many years he fwas government inspector of railways in England, and was knighted for his distinguished services in this connection.He is the eldest son of the late John Chatfield Tyler, born 1827, married 1827, Margaret, daughter of General Sir Charles Pasley, K.C.B., RE, He was educated at the Military Academy, Woolwich, and entered the Royal Engineers as lieutenant in December, 1844; became captain in 1858; retired 1867; appointed inspec- or of railways (Board of Trade) 1858, chief inspector 1870; retired 1877, on which occasion he was knighted by patent; was M.P.for Harwich, April, 1830, to

in its infancy; when the people said that it would monopolize; when some declared that it must fail, there was still another class who said that it would one day be necessary that other companies should be allowed by the G.T.R.to run over their lines.When this time arrived, thoy said, the great monopoly would not listen to it.These people were wrong, There are to-day no less than four distinct roads which have acess to Continued on Page Sixteen.a THE CPR ROAD lts Marvellous Growth in the Past Decade, STATISTICS OF ITS TAFFIC AND MILES The Story of Mr.Van Horne\u2019s Rapid Rise.It bas, ever since the carliest days of Canada's history, been the desire of ler leading men in politics as well as business to secure across the northern portion of the American continent, a route by which all the riches of the Orient might be transported to the old world.Readers of history will remember how the project had its ups and downs, eventu ally becoming the plaything of politicians, leading to the overthrow of à government, and at that time filling the heart of the patriot with forebodings that the idea of a transcontinental line across Dritish territory would never be realized.In the darkest hour, however, brave spirits came to the front and courageous Lusiness men undertook that which politicicns had tried and failed.Montreal's leading capital came to the rescue, invested their all in the ucder- taking, and came out successful.Fiîteen years since a project laughed and ridiculed, the Canadian Paciiic railway is to-day ome of the wonders of the world.Thus, it has happened that tho enterprise, which barcly a dozen years since was considered but a chimerical dream, has become one of the greatest transportation systems in the world,\u2014a system which now reaches, directly or indirectly, every part of the known world, and which uniting east and west, by bonds of steel and modern steamships, has fulfilled the drcam which Jacques Cartier entertained when, three hundred and fifty years since, he beat his way up the St.Lawrence to what is now Montreal, in the hope of finding à new route to China and the kingdoms of the far east.Commencing carly in the last decade with the railways from Quebec to Montreal and from Montreal to Ottawa\u2014built by the Quebec Government, and then known as the Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and Occidental Reilway, the old idea of it being a part of the road to the far west being seen then, too, and the short piece of line called the Central aCnada Railway, the Canadian Pacific Railway has, by the exercise of energy and enterprise, unexcelled even in this enterprising age, built up a system which now nearly reaches the 7,000 mile mark.C.P.R.system now has the enormous The C.P.R.system now has the enormous total of 6,679 miles, and is constant- ly\u2014it might almost be said daily\u2014add- ing to it.Only within the last few weeks it has secured leases of the Montreal and Lake Maskinonge and the Montreal and Western lines\u2014now short in themselves, but destined to add hundreds of miles and thousands of tons of freight to the working of the transcontinental system.The main line of the C, P.R.from Montreal to Vancouver covers 2,904 miles, just a little over half of the system included in the traffic roturns, of tho road, for there are ncaply 900 miles\u2019 of road worked by the company on various conditions, the result of the operations of which do not appear in the weekly or monthly returns, The eastern division of the road covers the following branches : Quebec to St, Martin\u2019s Junction, - 159.8 Piles Junction to Grand Piles, + « 26.0 Joliette Junction to St.Felix, « 16.8 Berthier Junction to Berthier, ~ = 2,0 Hull to Aylmer, - - « « T5 St.Therese to St.Jerome, = » 13.6 St.Lin Junction to St.Lin + = 15.0 St, Therese to St.Eustache, « = 0.0 Carleton Junction to Brookville, - 40.0 The western division, which covers 654 miles, includes the Emerson, Selkirk.Stonewall, Gretna and Pembina branches as well as the Manitoba Southwestern and the Souris branch and extension to the coal fields.The Pacific division includes branches to New Westminster, Coal Harbor and the Mission, and totals up 19 miles.The Ontario and Quebec Railway, which includes the new short line to Toronto and the extension to Windsor, which gives the Canadian Peaific through connection to Chicago, and which includes the old Toronto, Grey and Bruce and various important branches throughout Ontario ; the Guelph Junction railway the Atlantic and Northwest railway.which is the short line to the Maritime Provinces, the St, Lawrence and Ottawa.the New Brunswick and the Columbia and Kootenay systems, increase the inile- age by 1,728.8 miles.Then there are the South-Eastern, from Montreal to Newport, Vt, giving through connection to Boston and the New England States, 280 miles; the new line from Regina to Prince Albert, 249 miles; and the system just inaugurated between Calgary and Fort Macleod, 801 miles.These bring up the total mileage of the system to 6,679 miles, of which it may be said that practically the whole system has been constructed and put in operation within the past ten years.To work and maintain this enormous railway system naturally requires the services of a vast army of employees, as well as the expenditure of large sums of money.But the C.P.R.is fortunate in its employees, who, be they high official or humble trainhand, are ail em- bued with the same spirit of enterprise which hes made the road such a success under the guidance of President Van Horne.The actual working expenses of the road last year amounted to $12,281,- 436.11, of which $3,082,475.80 was for couducting trausportation; $2,519,- 825.18 for maintenance of way and structures; $4,217,975,09 for motive power, and $704,446.52 for parlor and sleeping car expenses, (And here it might be mentioned that the C.P.R.is the only railway on the continent which has its own parlor and sleeping cars, and that this branch of the service is a profitable one, for the receipts therefrom were practically last year five times as much as the expenses.) The equipment required by so large a railway system is naturally immense.It compriscs no less than 530 locomotives, 517 passenger, baggage and colonist sleeping cars, 73 sleeping and dining cars, 28 parlor and official cars, 14,077 freight and cattle cars, 233 conductors vans; 890 board, tool and auxiliary cars, and some dozen snow ploughs, In addition to the above, which has cost no less than $18,877,211, the company owns the fine steel steamers Alberta and Athabasca, cach 2,300 tons burthen, and the Manitoba, 2,600 tons, used on the upper lakes between Owen Sound and Fort William, This completes the equipment of the actual system from Atlantic to Pacific, but notice of the company\u2019s rolling stock would not be periect were not mention made of the three magnificent new steamships which the company yet form a system direct from London to The system of the C.P.R.now practically extends from Halifax to Hong Kong, and the steamships Empress of India, Empress of Japan and Empress of the western link in the chain which will westeru link in the chair which will yet pes .form à system direct from Londou to the Orient and to Australasia.INDUSTRIES IN MONTREAL.The management of the Canadian Pacific railway bas always done its duty by Montreal.Beginning by the construction of the extension along the wharves westward from Hochelaga to the old Quebec Gate barracks, the old landmarks were speedily demolished to make room for the substantial Dalhousie square depot, which will ever be memorable to Montrealers as the spot from which the volunteers left for the Northwest in 1885, and as that wherein they were welcomed home after that now historic campaign.Large workshops were at once erected at Hochelaga, which became one of the largest railway centres in the Dominion, and thess are being constantly added to it.It is true that the company has workshops also at Perth, Carleton Place, Winnipeg and Fort William, but it is in the Montreal shops that the most of the original construction is done.The company\u2019s workshops in all represent an expenditure of considerably over a million and a quarter of dollars, Their locomotive shops on DeLorimier avenue are among the most complete on the continent, while the car shops at Hochelaga give employment to hundreds of men in the construction of these cars, be they sleepers, first-class or colonists, which have wade the name of the C.P.R.synono- mous with comfort.The growth of traffic upon the road especially in the Montreal division\u2014and more particularly due to the development caused by the opening of the company\u2019s magnificent steel bridge at Lachine\u2014has necessitated the purchase and laying out of extensive yards at Outrement, which have entailed an expenditure of over $04,000.This additional accomodation brings up the total yard mileage in and around Montreal to something in the neighborhood of 15 miles.The large elevators on the harbor front are already overtaxed by the grain from the West, end it is not improbable that the company will yet have to show further enterprise in this direction.The new Windsor depot on Dominion square, from which all the Western trains of the company, save the transcontinental express, depart, is in itself a monument of \u2018the enterprise of the company, and admired by both resident and visitor.Its construction and the building of the road into the city from the West End was a work of considerable magnitude, but has already repaid the company and satisfied even those Montrealers who complained at the demolition of old residential properties involved in its extension.The Canadian Pacific railway company has now upon its pay rolls about 28,000 men.The total cost of the Canadian Pacific has been $159,488,722, of which W.C.YAN HORNE, PRESIDENT.$180,499,104 was for the main iine; but this does not include the portion of the line built by the Goverument, tho cost of which is estimated at $35,- 000,000, The capital stock of the company was $65,000,000 ; mortgage bonds, 000, and a land grant which has to been issued to an amount of $47,956, 686; the four per cent consolidated debenture stock amounts to $19,770,492; the land grant bonds to $18,428,000, It is, of course, well known that the company received a cash subsidy from the Dominion Government of $235,000, 000, and a land grant, which hhas to date brought in an amount of $19,- 558,781, \u2018The earnings for the year 1891 amounted to $20,241,095, of which $5,439,- 789.46 was derived from passengers; $12,665,540.28 from freight; $516, 008,45 from mails; $288,633 from express service ; $30& 545 from parlor and sleeping cars; and $1,007,489 from tele- srapk and miscellaneous, The working expenses were as before stated, $12,231 - +36, leaving the net earnings $8,009, 659.The working expenses were 60.48 per cent of the gross earnings, while the net earnings wers 89.67 per cent.The earnings per passenger per mile were 1.70 cents, and per ton of freight per mile 0.91 cent, each showing a steady increase over the preceding year, The progress of the road can best be stated in the significant fact that the net carn- ings have grown from $3,504,118 in 1887, when the main line was first in full operation, to $8,009,659 last year, while for the curreiit year they are expected to reach nearer twelve millions, The motto of the C.P.R.is ever *\u2018 onward,\u201d and while it is even now engaged in enterprises which will increase its mileage and add to the value of its system, such as the extension of the Soo THE OFFICERS OF THE ROAD.The directorate of the company is composed of the Rt.Hon.Lord Mount Stephen, Montreal ;

The Great Development of Montreal as a Neaport.STATISTICS OF ITS GROWTH DURING THE PAST SIXTY YEARS.A Record of the Steamship Companies Belonging to the City.It is necessary, in order to understand and appreciate properly the present position of Montreal as a harbor, to consider from what a small beginning, and with what rapidity, despite its manifest disadvantages it has risen to its present rank among the ports of the world.Oc- tupying, as it did previous to 1832, the position of merely an outport of Quebec, its progress was naturally slow.Most of the shipping trade between Canada and other countries was done through Quebec, which place, as far back as 1800, was quite an important har- bon In that year no less than 64 vessels cleared at Quebec, with à total tonnage of 14,298 tons, Sixteen years later the number of vessels cleared from Quebec had risen to 288, with a tonnage of 61,211 tons.Montreal at that time occupied & poor position as far as shipping was concerned.With its promotion to the position of a port of entry in 1838, however, it began to advance.The subject of Montreal's growth is closely connected with that of harbor improvement and the removal of obstructions in Lake St.Peter channel.Although in 1809 the late Hon.John Molson made the firet attempt to utilize steam as a motive power on the St.Lawrence, more than 40 years intervened between that and the establishment of a regular line of steamers to ply between Montreal and Europe.Once this was fairly under way the progress made was extraordinary, and now Montreal's great ocean lines are among the finest, most trustworthy and best equipped in the world, MONTREAL'S EARLY DAYS.In 1888, the first year of Montreal's existence as a port of entry, 133 vessels, of 80,769 tons burthen, cleared, In the six years succeeding no increase was recorded.In 1840, however, the trade showed an increase to 137 vessels, with à tonnage of 81,266 tons.In 1860, so rapid and extensive had been the growth of its shipping trade, that nearly half the trade of Britain with the British North American provinces, was with Montreal.In 1861 the number of vessels was 3.7 times as many as in 1883, and the tonnage eight times as large.The number of vessels clearing from this port in 1880 was 710, an increase in numbers of only 5.8 from 1888.So greatly had they increased in size, however, that their total tonnage was no less than twenty times as large as in 1883.The still greater enlargement of the ships engaged in the Mentreal trade presented 10 years later, in 1890, the contrast of barely an increase of 5.2 in the number of vessels employed in 1838, while having increased in capacity more than 26 times.The customs duties collected in Montreal amounted in 1888 to 31,678,608; in 1859 to $2,635,100; in 1862 to $2,400,025; in 1882 to $8,395,654; and in 1889 to $9,821,892, or an increase of 45.7 per cent.in 81 years.\u2018 Last year the customs duties collested amounted to $9,068,888.SOME PRINCIPAL EXPORTS.The receipts of flour at this port varied but little from 1845 to 1860.The smail- est quantity received in one year was 433,011 barrels, in 1865, and the largest in 1858 was only 69,064 barrels.In 1861, however, the quantity reached 1,005,339, nearly double that of the previous year, which was about 577,196.Although for two succeeding years the quantity increased, in no subsequent year up to 1870, did it reach one million bushels.From 1871 to 1875 there was an annual receipt of 1,020,861 barrels, against 858,839 shipped.Since that time, however, the oxport trade in flour has declined, while grain in bulk has been shipped in increasing quantities.The total exports in grain in 1887 were 11,512,789 bushels.The export of sawn lumber from Montreal to South America, which was previously small, reached 1,412,128 feet in 1867, and 81,592,960 feet in 1878.Since that time it has diminished because of the unsettled state of affairs in that part of the world.The cattle trade of Montreal has reached great importance, The following figures show the exports for the four years stated.1888.\u2014There were exported to Europe during tho season 61,008 head, and 46,.223 sheep, a decrease of 3,904 head of cattle, and an increase of 11,061 sheep.1889.\u2014Cattle shipped, 83,058 and sheep 58,953, showing an increase of 24,050 cattle and 12,760 sheep.1800~~Cattle shipped, 119,578 head and «8,135 sheep, showing an increase of 84,525 liead of cattle, and a decrease of 15,848 sheep.1891\u2014Cattle shipped, 108,047 head, and 82,157 sleep, showing & decrease of 10,- 631 head of cattle, and à decrease of 10,- 978 sheep.HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS, Montreal possessed several advantages as a seaport.Besides being central, which New York is vot, it is 300 miles nearer Liverpool It is also nearer the latitude of Liverpool, and eo ships sail to it by a more direct route, Being nearer to both producer and consumer, it offers cheaper transit for all kinds of freight than New York, It was therefore of great importance that navigation should be made safe and convenient throughout the river and gulf.Before 1851, only vessels under 400 tons, and drawing not more than 11 feet of water, could pass through Lake St Peter, and up to the Harbor of Mon- real.The work ot dredging a chanuel missioners of Montreal in June, 1851, This permitted the passage of vessels drawing 22 to 23 1-2 feet of water and up to 4000 tons burden.In 1850 the channel was only 11 feet on Lake 8t, Peter; three years after, in 1858, 16 feet was obtained: in 1859, two feet more had been added, making 18 feet ; in 1865, it reached 20 feet ; in 1878, 221-2 feet; in 1882, 25 feet; and on the 7th November, 1888, the channel was opened to 27 1-2 feet, The attention of the Harbor Commis- siouers was then drawn to the great need of Harbor, as well as Channel im- rovement.An extensive scheme has been ormulated which has already appeared in the Herald, and a synopsis of which follows: \u201c Common and Commissioners streets to be widened east of St.Peter to 75 ft.minimum by encroaching on the harbor property and to the same width west of Mc Gill Street by the acquisition of private property; present width to be retained betweeñ McGill and Bt.Peter atreets.To protect the city from inundation a parapet wall is to De constructed through which openings will be left for access to the wharves, which openings will be closed in winter by iron gates.The shore wharves ara to be increased to 200 feet in width, and from these four pier wharves are to be constructed, the whole to a height approaching that of Commissioners street, so as to abolish the present ramps.These piers will have & length varying from 900 to 1,500 feet, and a breadth of 230 feet ; water space between each two piers 800 feet in width.To protect those wharves a guard pier extending from the western abutment of Victoria Bridge is to be built down stream a distance of 7,000 feet, \u201c Allan Line boat.\u201d He won more than local fame by the prompt and suscess- ful manner in which he carried stores to Portugal for the use of the Duke of Wellington's army in the Peninsula.When peace was proclaimed after the battle of Waterloo in 1813, Captain Allan ran the Jean from the Clyde to the St.Lawrence, and established & connection between these two great rivers which has continued unbroken until the present day, The business prospered, and ship after ship was added to help the Jean, until Captain Allan was at the head of quite a fleet of packets, Two of Lis sons were seafaring men, and with characteristic shrewdness he made another son, Hugh, a business man, To give him a commercial education Le placed him with an old Greenock shipping firm\u2014that of Allan, Kerr & Co.\u2014 and then, in 1826, took him in the ship Favorite to Montreal, where the young man became a clerk in a Scotch dry goods house on St.Paul street, that of Wm.Kerr & Co.Long after he had virtually retired from business, Hugh\u2014then Sir Hugh Allan\u2014used to say that the success of the Allan Line was as much due to its business management as to the seamanship of its founders, and he expressed his indebtedness to the business training received in the firws in Greenock and Montreal, with whom he had served, for much of the ultimate extraordinary success of the line.Ilis fathers and brothers were thorough seamen; Sir Hugh was a business man: and thus all the elements necessary to success were represented in the family.Ep 7 PLAN OF THE NEW GUARD PIER AND WDARVES.In connection with the Harbor improvements the following is the plan of work by years, as originally recommended by the Harbor Engineer and City Surveyor, but which has, owing to unexpected delay, been somewhat modified : 1891.1.Build 1,600 to 2,000 feet of the Guard Pier extending downwards from the Victorias Bridge.1892.1.Extend the Guard Pier 8,000 feet further down.2.Pile the triangular pieces in the Military Basin for widening the Victoria Pier.3.Cut off the outer part of Victoria Pier and cut off the end of the pier in section 19.4.Rebuild the upper side of Victoria Pier on the new line and build the new shore wharf up to new pier A, (the one next the Victoria Pier), the shore wharf to be carried only up to present level.5.Rebuild the ramp opposite Victoria street and also about 700 feet of the Parapet Wall from the Canadian Pacific Railway ramp upward, with water gate in it.6.Widen Common street between McGill and Prince Streets, 1893.1.Finish the Guard Pier.2.Build Pier A, connecting it with the Richelieu Pier, but not disturbing the latter.3.Raise the new shore wharf to finished height from the upper side of Pier A to Victoria Pier.4.Extend the Parapet Wall to Jacques Cartier square and put in two more winter gates, 1894.1.Build Pier B.2.Build the new wharf between Piers A and B, 3.Extend the Parapet Wall to St.Dizier street.1895.1.Build the shore wharf between Piers B and D, and raise it to the finished height.2.Cut off the superfluous part of the Island Wharf, and build, say, 400 feet of Pier C.3.Extend the Parapet Wall to tha Custom House.1896.1.Finish Pier C, 2.Build the new shore wharf from the upper side of Pier D to the Canal, and raise it to the finished height.3.Finish the Parapet Wall and gates, and make the necessary modifications at the Canal Basin No.1.1897, 1.Build Pier D, the last of the new piers, Estimated cost for works, $2,789,872; for lands and buildings, $88,522; total, $2,827,894, This work is estimated to be completed about the year 1897, During the seven years, 1881 to 1887, there had been built 4,776 feet (or nearly a mile) of deep wator wharves, abolishing 8,419 feet of shallow or otherwise unsuitable wharves, thus giving a net increase of 1,857 feet of wharf frontage, all of which is for large vessels.With this increase of front there has also been added to the area of wharf space 324,- 000 square feet or 7 1-4 acres, SOME

COMMERCIAL INTERESTS, Bird's Eye View of the Commerce of Montreal.Sketches of the Board of Trade, the Cor Exchange The Banks, the Dry Goods, Clothing, Grocery and Other Business.HEN Sieur de Maisonneuve, two centuries and a half ago, selected the spot whereon the Custon House now stands Bs the landing place of his little band of edvonturers, and the starting-point of the Royal city whose geographical position as the head of ocean navigation he foresaw would make her the future commercial metropolis of Canada, he little dreamt sf tbe magnitude to which that commerce rus destined to attain.Possibly even In his most glowing anticiputions for the Future of the infaut city he had founded be never contemplated such a volume of traflic as that represented by $77,000,000 worth of merchandise passing annually \u2014 But, as the commerce of Montreal grew, the committee of trade grew more powerful.The cholera scare of 18582 and the releiiinn of 1S37 checked its growth for a while, but when the political horizon ounce more grew clear, it was found that the committee in its primitive shape was no longer able to cope with the weighty matters continually brought before it for adjudication, and on April 6, 1840, it faded quietly out of existence, and its place was taken by the Moutreal Board of Ttade.Incorporation, however, took some time to eccure, and it was not until April 4, 1842, tLat the first mecting of the incorporated board took place, the members present being: J.T.Brondgeest (in the chair), Thomas Cringan, John E.Mills, H.L.Routh, D.Macpherson, J.elected : Board of Management\u2014Robt.Esdaile, president ; Henry Budden, vice- president; J.W.Taylor, secretary-treas- urer; A.Mitchell and A.Howard, councillors.Board of Auditors\u2014John Es- daile, Jobn Dongall and W.P.McLaren.The tables were allocated as follows : J.& R.Esdaile, D.E.McLean & Co, James Oliver & Co., W.& T.Leeming, Taylor Bros., A.Heward, T.Ford Jones, Macdougall & Budden, R.Mitchell, R.J.Cusack, J.Fairbairn, Charles Lee, Aiken & Kirkpatrick, A.Sauvageau & Co.T.W.Raphael, W.W.Stewart, Thomas Henshaw and C.G.Geddes.The Corn Exchange was advertised to be opened on the 20th October.Om that day a meeting was held,when Hon.John Young objected to the constitu- titution as being too restricted.Finally some proposed changes were agreed to at a meeting held on the 5th Nov, at which the following committee of management was appointed : R.Esdaile, J.Cusack, Hon.John Young, D.A.P.Watt, Henry Budden, J.W.Taylor, John Dou- gall, Hon.L.Renaud, and Ira Gould.Mr.Esdaile was elected chairman aud Mr.Taylor secretary-treasurer by this committee.An ect of incorporation was passed by the House of Commons in 1868, and early in the same year an arrangement was made with the Board of Trade to have a joint secretaryship, and the position was given to rM.W.J.Patterson.His death on June 12, 1888, deprived the Board of Trade aud Corn Exchange of a most valuable officer.He was succeeded by Mr.George I1ladrill, the present secretary, who was for a considerable time Mr, Patterson's assistant.The Exchange passed a resolution to amalgamate with the Board of Trade on Oct.2, 1886.It still maintains its identity and separate organization Times of commercial depression had been enterad upun, however, and the Merchants Bank had to endure its share of suffering.During the year 1876-77, the general manager, Mr, Jackson Rae, resigned his position, and Sir Hugh Allan vacated the president\u2019s chair, The Hon.Jobn Hamilton was elected president, and Mr.George Hague, of Toronto, took tbe management of the bank's affairs The institution wae then placed upon a sound basis, everything dead being written off, The capital account was cut down about five and a half millious, and the reserve fund to $750,000, Since then the affairs of the bank have been carefully and successfully administered, The present capital is $5,709,200, with a rest of $2,510,000.The president is Mr.Andrew Allan ; vice-president, Robert Anderson, and general munager, Mr.Geo.Hague.The directorate includes some of the best known business men and capitalists of the Dominion.CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE.In 1887 the Hon.Wm.McMaster.one of Ontario's leading merchants, rosliz- ing fully the financial position of the country, and the necessity of increased facilities to meet the requirements of the inceased business, both in exports and imports, resigned his position as a director of ' the Bank of Montreal and established the Canadian Bank of Commerce, of which he became its first president.Those associnted with him in the directorate were Messrs, H.8.Howland as vice-president: W.A.J.Macdonald, Wm.Elliott, John Taylor aud J.B.Stayner, The original capital was $1,- 000,000, which was increused at intervals, until in 1874, it reached its present amount, $6,000.000, This makes it next to the Bank of Montreal, the largest paid-up capital in the Dominion, Ithas also a reserve fund of $900,000, \u2014, - THE BOARD OF TRADE BUILDING.\u2014 through her port.And yet Montreal is destined to grow still greater.Not only is she the terminal point of ocean carriage, but also of the two great railways that dominate the transportation trade of Canada.It is at this point that the magnificent canal system of the Dominion joins the mighty river, and when we add that Montreal is the cheapest, best, and most convenient port in North America for the loading or discharge of cargo, and that her facilities for the expeditious handling of traffic are unsurpassed, we can readily see what a grand future there lies before her.During the fiscal year \u20ac g last June the imports at the port of Montreal were valued at $45,492,257, and the exports at $32,284,055.In duties alone $9,068,883 was paid to the Government.And even this does not represent the whole of Montreal's commerce, for much traffic is credited to other ports that really belongs to her merchants.She possesses every appliance for handling a still larger volume of trade.Every day the already ample wharf room and shedding space are being added to.New elevators, both floating and stationary, are being built, union stock yards are projected, railroad facilities are being enlarged, and the ship channel is being improved.Her advantages as a shipping point \u2018for fruit and other perishable goods are unrivalled.The more northerly route pursued by steamers seeking the Lawrence converts the ship into a vast refrigerator, and last year ,776 packages of oranges and lemons valued at $341,312 were imported into this city from European points and distributed to buyers from every principal city in Cunada and the United States.To handle this enormous mass of traffic great financial facilities are necessary, and of the size and enterprise of her banking institutions Montreal is justly proud.The aggregate capital of the banks doing business in this city amounts to $30.260,666, and last month the volume of their current loans was $137,442,808.In this city are located the headquarters of most of the leading insurance and other commercial eorporations, and, for her size, Montreal is one of the wealthiest cities on the continent.Ker merchants arc the most pushing and energetic of their class.Their travellers cover the entire Domin- fon of Canada from sea to sea.Hardly a village from Halifax to Vancouver that the Montreal drummer does not visit, and the names of our merchants are household words even in remote country stores.The internal and civic facilities of Montreal are commensurate with her importance as a city, Her leading thoroughfares contain 25 miles of car tracks, upon which 125 street cars drawn hy 1,200 horses, transported 9,837,258 passengers last year.Four thousand six hundred and scventy miles of telegraph wires extend above her streets, and 6,000 telephones flash information from end to end of the city.Her sanitary and sewage system is daily being readered more perfect.The safety of her citizens is secured by one of the ficest and most effi- cint fire brigade on this continent, and by a large and well-drilled bedy of police.Her streets are lighted by electricity, and within a few mouths the same pewerful agent will form the motive force of her car service, Her streets are splendidly paved and well cleaned.In fact, Montreal is a type of a modern city of which Cgnada can well afford to be proud, and as such she is constantly in progress towards still greater improvement, BOARD OF TRADE.A great factor in Montreal's present commercial success has been its Board ef Trade.Concurrently with the rise of the metropolis of Canada it has grown from a small beginning, until it has reached & membership of more than 1,800, with a corresponding increase im its commercial influence.The present Board of Trade is the successor of a little knot of traders who met in & small newsroom on St.Joseph strect on April 11, 1822, to discuss the necessity of forming a committee of trade.Within nine days they had a membership of 54 names and had £178 10s in their coffers, and on April 20 they held another meeting in the newsroom, at which Horatio Gates, George Auldjo, George Moffatt, Henry McKenzie, Campbell Sweeney, John Forsyth, Peter Mec- Gill, F.A.Larocque, John Fleming, Samuel Gerard, Thos.Blackwood, Chas.1.Ogden and James Leslie were elected as the first committee.Their beginnings were humble enough.They hired a large room for £80 per annum, and furnished it with a pine tablo covered with green baise, two arm chairs and 12 common chairs, and minute account of thelr expenditure for inketands, pens, etc.was given.Esdaile, Harrison Stephens, J.G.Mc- Kenzie, Edward Maitland, John Glass, T.M.Tobin, Wm.Edmondson, James Hendersqn, Joseph Shuter; Frederick À.Stephens, Orlin Bostwick, J.G.Mackenzie, James Logan, T.B.Greenshields, John Dougall.From that time to the present the course of the Board of Trade has been steadily upward and onward.Its officers have always been drawn from the Bostwick, William Edmondstone, Jas.Henderson, H.L.Routh, John E.Mills, J.M.Tobin, T.G.Mackenzie and Harrison Stephens.The following were elected a board of arbitration: James Henderson, H.L.Routh, John E, Mills, David Torrance, Robert Armour, John Glass, Harrison Willson, secretary.The only business transacted was that of electing officers, the election resulting as follows: President, J.T.Brond- geest; vice-president, Thomas Cringan; treasurer, J.W.Dunscomb ; council, O.front rank of Montreal\u2019s merchants, and since its absorption of the Corn Exchange at the close oi 1886, it has remained the sole great commercial body of this city.This year its list of office-bearers is as follows: President\u2014E., B.Greenshields.First vice-president\u2014Chas.P.Hebert.Second vice-president\u2014Jas.A.Cantlie.Treasurer\u2014H.Montagu Allan.The post of secretary to the Board has always been a most important one.Up to 1849 it was held by Mr.F.A.Wilson.Mr, Chas.Lindsay then held it for one year, and then from 1850 to October, 1864, its duties were performed by Mr.Alex.Clerk.In 1854 Mr.John Dunning took the position and held it until 1863, when Mr.W.J.Patterson assumed office and continued as seore- tary until hia death in June, 1886, when the present secretary, Mr.George Had- rill, was appointed.Four years ago it became apparent that the growing importance of the Board rendered it imperative that it should possess premises of its own to accommodate its members and facilitate the work that it has to do.After a careful inspection of the sites offered, the present one, bounded in front by St.Sacrament street, and extending from St.Peter street on the west to St.Nicholas street on the east, was selected, and the work of preparing the ground for building was commenced, The corner stone was laid last spring, and the walls of the building are now nearly up.The character of the architecture of the now building can be gathered irom the illustration we publish, but the excellence of its interior arrangements it is difficult to describe.Tho principal feature of the ground floor is, of course, the great Exchange hall; 50 by 80 feet, flanked by a commodious reading room and restaurant, and having in front the council room and secretary\u2019s offices.On this flat are seven spacious offices suitable for large commercial and financial enterprises.On the first floor the whole right wing is occupied by a magnificent wareroom 72 feet 6 inches\u2018 by 105 feet, and the left wing containe 12 large offices, besides the usual conveniences.The second floor has also a large ware- room in the right wing and 21 offices of a less pretentious character.Throughout the whole building will be found the very latest and most modern appliances, CORN EXCHANGE.As originally projected, the Corn Exchange association was simply & society of grain brokers for the advancement of the interests of their own immediate trade, but has since broadened in scope to the great benefit of the city as & whole.It had its origin in a meeting held in the Board of Trade rooms, called by a circular issued by Mr.D.Lorne Mac- dougall, on Sept.8, 1832.The meeting was held on the 11th of the same month, and was attended by 18 of the leading grain and produce brokers of Montreal.The chair was taken by Mr.Robert Esdaile, and Mr.J.W.Taylor acted as secretary.Mr.Macdougall submitted a plan of the Board of Trade room, in which were to be placed 18 tables, which he offered at £180 per year.Nothing was done, however, except to appoint a committee to see absentees and learn their feelings om the matter.At a subsequent meeting held on the 18th Sept.it Was resolved to go on with the association, &nd on the 16th October the following officers were within \u2018the Board of Trade and elects its officers as .formerly.It has done good work during its careeer, and has been of great benefit to the trade of the city Among those who worked earnestly and successfully to promote the organization and to keep it effectively at work was its first president, Mr.Robt.Esdaile, who was elected to that important office no less than seven times.The present president is Mr.D.A.Me- Pherson, who has for some time been one of its most active and energetic workers.\u2018 MONTREAL BANKS.THE BANK OF MONTREAL.This institution was established in 1817, and its career has, ever since the date of incorporation, been one of steadily increasing prosperity.Its first president was Mr, John Gray, a shrewd business man, and those who engaged in the undertaking with him were remarkable for their caution in enterprise, and decided that a Bank of Montreal was a necessity, before investing not only their money but their reputations.The beginning was small, offices being rented for £150 a year, and the work was placed in the hands of Mr.Robert Griffin, cashier; ome teller and one accountant, Bupiness was opened on a paid-up capital of $850,000; in 1819 it was increased to $650,000, and in the following year to $750,000, The story of the increase in the paid- up capital of the bank is one of the most remarkable things in the history of banking.In 1829 the eapital was $850,000; in 1841, $2,000,000; in 1845, $8,000,000; in 1856, $4,000,000; in 1860, $6,000,000, and in 1878 it had risen to $12,000,000, at which it now stands, the largest capital on the American continent, and one of the firmest banking institutions in the world.Hence the well-grounded adage, \u201cWhat the Bank of England is to Great Britain

MERCHANTS BANK.When it became known early in 1864 that Sir Hugh Alian contemplated starting & new bank, it was & question for discussion as to whether or not the business was capable of any further extension, The general opinion was against the new venture, but Sir Hugh, nothing daunted, established the Morchants Bank with & paid-up capital of $100,000, a strong board of directors, himself as president, and Mr.Jacksor Rac as cashier.The years of prosperity which followed its establishment speke vklumes for Sir Hugh's foresight, and the capital increased year by year, until five years after the founding of the bank its capital stood at $86,000,000, In 1886 the business of the Commercial Bank of Canada, Kingston, which had suspended payment, was taken over by the Merchants Bank, For many years the success of the bank was uninterrupted, and in 1873 the report gave a paid- rest of $1,860,000, and a net profit of $834,202.84, which aljowed a dividend of 9 per cent.capital of #8,102,046,67; a- The Montreal branch of the bank, now located at 157 St.James street, was established on September 16, 1870, by the late J.G.Harper, who subsequent- under his direction the new branch

under the Free Banking Act, the general publie at\u2019 once accorded them a generous confidence, For two years the business was carefully and successfully conducted, and in 1855 it was made & joint stock company and incorporated by Act of Parliament, The first capital was $1,000,000, which was increassd as the bank grew, while it now stands at $2,- 000,000, with a contingency fund of $1,100,000, In 1875 Mr.William Molson, who had for nearly 20 years filled the position of president faithfully and well, died.His place was taken by Mr.John H.R.Molson, and the vacancy on the board filled by the election of the Hon, D.L.Macpherson, of Toronto.Mr.Molson is still president, and Mr.R.W.Bhepperd is vice-president, and F.Wolferstan Thomas general manager.The bank has 24 branches in the Dominion

Viger, Jacob DeWitt, John Donegani, Pierre Beaublen, Augustin Tullock, H.B.Emith, Timothy Franchere, and A.E.Montmarquet.They commenced operations under the name of Viger, De- Witt & Co., en commandite.Under this semi-private form it continued and prospered until 1843, when it was handed over to a joint stock company, when more extensive operations were entered upon.At that time the offices were in St.Francois Xavier street.Subsequent- y the bank of Montreal building on St.ames street was purchased, which oe- pied the position now held by the general postoffice, The policy of the

was founded with fifteen managing di- serious but for the devotion of he directors chosen from some sixty homno- rary directors, They were: William Workman, Alfred Larocque, Jos.Bonr- ret, L.H, Holton, Francis Hincks, Da- mase Masson, Henry Mulholland, Pierre Beaubien, Henry Judah, Charles Wilson, Joseph Grenier, John E.Mills, Nelson Davis, John Tully, Jacob DeWitt, L.T.Drummond.For the first two years the bank progressed quietly, with one mishap, which might have proved serious but for the devotion of the directors, who, although unpaid for their services, subscribed their names to notes to meet a loss resulting from depreciation of City Bank stock.There was no stock or accumulated profits at the time to secure deposits, and only this act of the directors saved the bank from ruin, and enabled it at a future time to recoup the loss The amounts due depositors by the City and District Bank wero: In 1847, $250,702; in 1848, $178,241; in 1849, $158,770; 1838, $278,994.But from this time progress was rapid, each year showing a lange increase in business except in the years 1854-55 and 1857.In 1870 the amount due depositors was $2,880,769; the number of depositors 0,862, with an average of $307.68 for each depositor, The bank has had its times of hardness and difficulty; it has - been converted from a purely benevolent institution into a joint stock con- gern, and its enemies have been many, But the management has been equal to every emergency, meeting all drains Jrithout having to pledge any of the ni's securities, or to Call in any of its loans.The first manager was Mr.John Col- Tins, who left the bank in 1855.Ha wae succeeded by Mr.Edmond J.Barbeau, who, entering the baak in 1830, retired in 1880, after thirty years faith- fa service, was succeeded by his brother, r.Henri Barbeau, who is the present manager, and who during his short connection with the bank has given evidence of the possession of qualitiew which eminently fit him for the position, The subscribed capital 1s $2,000,000, with paid-up capital of $600,000 and rest of $300,000., The president is Hon.Edward Murphy » and vice-president, R.Bellemare, ' DRY GOODS./ In Canada.like all other countries sct- fled gradually by an incoming race, the trade in dry goods has alwars been in the van of commerce.To the savage the product of the loom is always the most valuable object of barter, and consequently the earliest batteaux that left the struggling little city of Ville Marie carried dry goods as the principal portion of their cargoes.The French cottons and woollens bacame tha currency of those wild tribes, the remuants of whom the advancing tide of civilization has almost obliterated from the map, just as the cottons of Manchester are to-day that of ca.As the stalwart pioneer ee eg re pushed back the Huron and the Iroquois, tle first store to be erected in the lonely clearing carried dry goods as the principal portion of its stock.Gradually it became the nucleus of a village which grew into a town, and the first sign of its increased prosperity was when its proprietor deemed it safe to abandon his other lines and launch out into dry goods alone, In the wholesale as in the retail trade the first store to emancipate itself from old traditions, and stand forth committed to one branch of business alone was a dry goods store, and it Las been noticeable through the whole of Canada\u2019s commercial history that her dry goods men have always heen the pioneers in the extension of her growing commerce.To Montreal may fairly be allotted three-fifths of the entire dry goods trade of the Dominion.In the city proper there are 257 diy goods stores, whose overturn stretches away up into millions of dollars.The magnitude of their operations can be judged from the fact that during the fiscal year of 1801 the imports of textile fabries into Canada reached a total of nearly twenty-three millions of dollars, of which at least $14,000,000 must be credited to this city.The prineipal branches of this huge volume of imports are as follows: 7 Woolen goods .dascsssaceus .$8,736,69 Cotton Goods en .# Silks and velvets 2,675,674 Flax, hemp and jute manufacturers,.1,435,851 Hats and CAPS.oevvvnniiinnnnnss 1,288,199 Carpets and felts 1,182,53} LCT nanas eue na anna 660,677 This enormous quantity of goods does not include the ever-increasing volume of Canadian manufactures, aithough Canadian tweeds and cloths now dominate the home market, while Canadian cottons are sent even to far-off China.The whole of this vast bulk of textile fabrics is distributed by our merchants through a small army of drummers ever on the wing from where the Atlantic breaks against the rocks of Cape Breton, to where the Pacific lashes itself to foam against the bold capes of Vancouver.Travelling on .railway trains, driving along lonely country roads, now staying at a palace hotel, now roughing it in some remote village, the tireless pioneer of commerce is constantly engaged in hustling for business.The result is that many of our dry goods merchants are now magnates of the commercial world, and their palatial residences adorn and beautify the principal residential streets of Canada\u2019s mercantile metropolis.Perhaps, as a testimony to Montreal's rapid advance in commercial supremacy, it may not be amiss to refer shortly to a few of our leading dry goods houses.The story of success is always interesting, It is an incentive to the young merchant to strive forward to the goal, and it is a consolation to those whose efforts have not received the reward merited.But as the space at our disposal is limited we can cite but a few instances where fortune has waited upon business sagacity, enterprise and tact.Take for instance J.G.@.i KENZIE & CO.The large wholesale dry goods firm of J.G.Mackenzie & Co.was established by the late Mr.J.G.Mackenzie as far back as 1829, and has for the past sixty- three years been one of Montreal's foremost business firms.They occupy a spacious stone warchouse on St.Paul treet, and do one of the safest as well as one of the largest businesses in the Dominion, having fully 40 persons directly in their employ, besides a branch house in London, Eng.The managing partner, Mr.J.P, Clegborn, is a well-kuown figure in the business community.He has filled the office of President of the Board of Trade, and is a director in the Sun Life Assurance, Intercolonial Coal Mining, and Merchant Manufacturing Companies.The senior member of the firm, Mr.Hector Mackenzie, is also a director of the Merchants Bank, the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Co, and the Montreal Telegraph Company.D.MORRICE, SONS & CO.This extensive dry goods commission house was founded in 1863, and now re- resents the Dominion Cotton Co.Globe Voollen Mills, Auburn Woollen Ce., Pen- wan Mfg.Co.Strathroy 'Knitting Co., Coaticook Knitting Co., Coaticook Narrow Fabric Co., Trent Valley Woollen Mills, and a number of smaller concerns.The firm are also Canadian representatives of Rylands & Son, of London and Manchester.They deal solely with the wholesale trade, and the fabrics they handle are found all over the Dominion.They occupy spacious warehouses on Notre Dame street, and may be looked upon as the leading commission house of Canada.ROBERTSON, LINTON & CO.The firm of Robertson, Linton & Co.was started 40 years ago by Lord Mount- Stephen, uuder the title of W.Stephen & Co.About twenty years later he sold out his business to Robertson, Linton & Co.Later Mr.Robertson retired from the firm, and the business is now carried on under the old firm name by Robert Linton and John Black.The firm occupy one of the oldest and most commodious dry goods warehouses in this city, at the corner of St.Helen aud Recollet streets.They keep ten travellors on the road, and require a staff of 35 clerks to haudle the varied assortment of dry goods contained on the tive flats of their extensive premises.THIBAUDEAU BROS.& CO.The largest Fronch wholesale dry goods house in tlis city is that of Thibeadau Bros.& Co., which wns originally founded in Quebec about eighty years ago.The Monsreal branch is located in 1 handsome five-story stone building on St.Paul strect, where the frm keep 35 employees constantly busy.They are the largest importers of dry goods in Canada, acd may be said to practically control the Freneh- Canadian dry goods trade.S.GREENSHIELDS, SON & CO.The firm of 8.Greenshields, Son & Co.was established as far back as 1836, and is one of the oldest dry goods firms in Montreal, It bas also a branch house in Vancouver.The headquarters of the firm are in the large six-story eut-stone building tt the coruer of Victoria square and Craig street, The six flats are each 60 by 100 feet, and the firm employ between 60 and 70 clerks and travellers to handle their goods, Mr.E.B.Greonshields, the senior partner, is a ma nof prominence in commercial cir- clez, He is President of the Board of Trade, a director in the Bank of Montreal and o fthe Standard Life Insurance Company, aud one of the Governors of McGill University and trustee of Trafalgar Institute, On lst December iast Messrs.G.B.Fraser, E.C.B.Feather- stonhaugh and G.I.Caaiswell were admitted as partners in the firm, They had been with the old firm for a number of years, and thoroughly understand the business, The firm have this year leased additional premises adjoining their own warchouse, and are doing business in all the Provinces of the Dominion, their travellers representing the firm from Cape Broton to British Columbia.GAULT BROS.This firm was established in 1854, They are identified with the great cotton industry of Canada, and were the ploneers in the formation of the recently organized Dominion Cotton Company.Their warehouse is on St.Helen streat, nnd fifteen travellers are kept constantiy on the road, Mr.R.L.Gault is president of tho Dry Goods Association, M'INTYRE, BON &

present title of McIntyre, Son & Co.The firm handle only imported goods, and do not touch domestic fabrics at all, BROPHY, CAINS & CO.Although this is à young house, Coms Le SE \u2014 cnet.paratively speaking, there are fow dry £0ods houses in the Dominion to-day that are better known, Brought up in the dry goods business, understanding it thoroughly, and knowing the trade requirements, their business has shown a steady increwse year after year.Recently they moved into more commo- diova premises, and now occupy that handsome warchouse, 196 McGill street.Their aim is to do a high class trade.They are referred to more particularly for novelties in rich black dress goods, handsome mantlings and jacket cloths: and for hosiery and gloves they are known east and west.Linens are n specialty with them, the ground floor being largely devote to that class of goods, the basement to staples, second i vor mantlings, dress goods, ete, third floor hosiery, gloves, laces, ribbons, mings and geueral smallwares: fourth floor, gents\u2019 furnishings and underwear.M\u2019KAY BROS.This business was established by Joseph Maclay in 1840, and has ever since been conducted on a liberal basis by the successive firms of Jossph Mac- kay & Brother and Mackay Brothers.In 1860 the business was removed from St.Paul street to the present warehouse, corner of McGill and St.Maurice streets, which was one of the first modern establishments erected Ly the wholesales trade in this city, The firm do a large general dry goods business, but are considered as making a specialty of staple articles, and doing a conservative trade with old and well established counections acquired dur.ng the are also the Canadian representatives o | Messrs.Hargrave & Nusseys, woollen manufacturers and Wm.Roslington, melton manufacturers, of Leeds, England, as well as several other French and German manufacturers.CLOTHING.Few branches of Canadian commerce bare assumed wore colossal proportions than the clothing trade.In a country like Canada, where the climatic changes are sudden and violent, there is naturally more demand for clothing than in more temperate climes where the one suit may be mnade to cover all seasons.In Canada the bound from the linen duster to the fur-lined overcoat is often a suddem one, and consequently our clothing houses must be well loaded up with stock of all kinds to meet any sudden demand upon their resources by the public, whether it arise from a cold snap or a hot wave.These large clothing houses are of incalculable value to this city, inasinuch as they furnish fairly lucrative employment to tho poorest and most helpless class of workers.Such establishments as II.Shorey & Co, and E.A.Smal! & Co., pay out weckly thousands of duis.+ for out-door work.and it is ouly necessary to watch the throng of workers streaming in and out of their doors, carrying huge bundles of work in their arms, to recognize that without their assistance many a poor family would suffer want.In no trade is the volume of expenditure in proportion to output so great as in the clothing trade, and in no other branch of commerce js it necessary to carry on such extensive operations.[he clothing traveller can be found everywhere.Driving along remote country roads, sleighing on the ice of our great \u201c5% : LE ris i ie Lye iY : ! ÿ JA | ÿ ME o ï A AGS 7 es 7

its liberal and honorable dealing with theri, and has secured the same high reputation with all those who have been fortunate enough to have business relations with them, It is justly looked upon as one of Montreal's foremost business houses.ie HODGSON SUMMER AND CO.\u2019 This large importing firm occupy two handsome stores in the Nuns\u2019 block on St.Paul street, and keep some sixty employees busy in the various flats.They handle all kinds of foreign and American dry goods, gents\u2019 furnishings, small wares and fancy oods, as well as à very complete range of domestic oods, and do a very extensive business all over the Dominion.The business was established about forty years ago, the present artners being Messrs.Jonathan Hodgson, George Summer, Thos.E.Hodgson and James Gardner.The senior member of the firm, Mr.Hodgson, is one of Montreal\u2019s prominent citizens being connected with a large number of public enterprises, a director of the Merchants Bank, Canada Bhip- ing Co., Alliance Insurance Co., Merchants fg.Co., ete., ete.FRANK STEPHEN & CO.The firm of Frank Stephen & Co., succeeded the old firm of George Stephen & Co., of which Lord Mount-Stezhen was the founder, and have since been identified with Canadian tweeds.They represent the two largest and best equipped tweed mills in the country, the Paton M anufacturing Co., of Sherbrooke, and the Rosamond Wollen Mills of Almonte.They also control the output of the Richelieu Flannel Mills at Chambly.They oceupy premises on Me- \u2018il street, and have a branch establishment in Toronto.JAS.A.CANTLIE AND CoO.The woollen commission firm of Jas A.lakes, facing the blizzards of our Great Lone Land, the clothing drummer seems to be ubiquitous.Everywhere are his huge trunks stuffed with samples of every line of goods from the coarsest overalls to the nattiest of street suits.No store is too small for him to visit, no lumber or mining camp too remote to attract his attention, and everywhere he is a welcome visitor.Naturally in so live and hustling a trade Moutreal assumes a prominent place, and some of the wealthiest and most powerful houses are included among her merchant-manu- facturers.E.A.SMALL & CO, One of the youngest, but one of the most progressive of Montreal\u2019s great clothing establishinents, is thut of I, A.Small & Co.It was founded in January.1887, by Mr.BE.A.Smali, previously a partner in the well-known clothing house of H.Shorey & Co., and one of the most energetic and progressive men in the clothing trade.Under his direction the house seemed to at once take its piace in the van of the trade.They occupy one of the extensive premises known as the Albert Buildings, on St.James street, opposite to Victoria square, and the whole of their six huge flats are covered with clothing and clothing fabrice.Ou the upper flats several hundred sewing and button-holing machines are in operation, and the house gives employment to close upon five hundred hands in all.The manager

Co.succeeded the older firm of Shearer, Macke- die & Co.in 1877.The firm occupy extensive premises fronting on Victoria square, and will shortly add the adjoining building to their already large warehouse in order to make room for their stock of \u201cMelissa\u201d waterproof fabrics, which are now oying such unprecedented popularity in Canada that the premises of their agents are not sufficiently large to admit of their carrying an adequate stock.J.W.Mackedie & Co.keep twelve travellers on the road, and, in addition to this, have 60 hands constantly employed in the store as well as 900 hands on their outside pay-roll.They are an enterprising and energetic firm, and have no difficulty in waintaining thelr present Positio in the wholesals clothing trade.JAMES O'BRIEN AND CO.:

clothing houses of Montreal.he quantity of manufactured goods turned out annually by the company i8 simply immense, and its reputation for quality and price such that the utmost resources of the farm are taxed to meet the continuous demand pouring in from every province of the Dominion.An inspection of this company\u2019s building and its flat upon flat of manufactured samples of ready-made clothing will amply repay the time occupied in doing 80 by everyono who mav have occasion to visit the city of Montreal.\u2014 THE GROCERY TRADE.Few branches of modern commerce bear more striking testimony to the steady ad- wancement of cultivation and refinement fn taste in all classes of society than does tne grocery trade.The gradual evolution of tho modern grocery with its elaborate counters, polished brass-wrok, glittering plate-glass, and beautifully decorated windows, from the dingy shop in which our fathers were quite content to trade, points out the steadily increasing wealth and re- £nement of the modern Canadian in a mauner there is no mistaking.Articles are necessities to-day in the poorest houses which, only a few years ago, were looked upon as luxuries whose use was contined exclusively to the rich.Nor is this the only step forward.The modern customer demands not only that the article he urchases shall be good, but that it shall e presented to him in the most attractive form possible.Never has so much Ingenuity and artistic taste been exerted go ornament the coverings of even the cheapest ines of goods as at the present.The modern grocer appeals as much to the eve as to the palate.Naturally this has resulted in the increasing elegance of bis store and the beautifying of its sur roundings, until to-day a high-class £ro- cery forms as attractive a coup d\u2019oeil as taste and money can make it, and the old- ashioned dingy grocery, with its miscol- PE jumble of unwashed vegetables, fiy-blown paper bags, and half-cut sides of bacon, is vanishing quietly off the face of the earth.\u2018Forward\" is thc cry in the grocery trade, and no one realized the ct sooner than the wholesale grocers of fontreal.They do not occupy the pala- erks that their brethren of the dry La stores or employ the small army of 3 arkets, and the name of H.| {Continued from Page Fourteen,] goods trade require, But they handle goods from all over the civilized world, and for energy and enterprise they are second to none.GRO.CHILDS & CO.Since its first inception as a wholesale house In 1861, the firm of Geo.Childs & Co.has never had but the ome partner.And has

opposite to St.Sacrament street, and keep five travellers constantly on the road.They have always been noted for doing a conservative business, and are one of the most respected houses in the

Provinces of Quebec and Ontario.They occupy a stone warehouse at the corner of Commissioners and St.Peter streets, and do a steady and thriving business.RANSOM, FORDES & CO.This wholesale grocery

hia name.Thirty years later he admitted his son as a part- T > gers.The present year promises to be a peculiarly favorable one for them.It is one of those transition years when no recognized bent of fashion is recognizable.Out ofthe five hundred styles of hats and bonnets offered to the trade not even the most experienced drummer would venture, as yet, to pick out one as the leading faéhion, nor is there a run on any particular color.All lines and all shades are equally good sellers, and the public purchase last year's styles with much avidity as the newest creations of Paris and ndon.It is a splendid year for houses carrying over a stock of unsold goods from last summer, and, if they purchase judiciously, every millinery bouse should mike money in 1892.But, woe to those who carry much over into 1893! This fall there is hound to come a change in styles.Present shapes have practically run two years, and, therefore, we are certain to see a fashiogable cyclone which will sweep them from the market and instal some brand-new favorite in their places.aw 7: 8 an EL S ner, and Mr.J.E.Quintal now represents the fimnn on the Board of Trade and Chambre de Commerce.Their premises are at 270 to 274 St.Paul

three feet at the top; that Cus- ton House square was still the \u201cPlace de Marche\u201d; the tide of fashion set eastward rather than westward, for the houses of the \u2018nobility and gentry\u201d were clustered around Citadel Hill, and deer grazed in the park of that far distant country seat\u2014Beaver Hall.The population of this mediaeval little British-French town was only about 22,000 to 28,000, and the government of the city was in the hands of magistrates, who were certainly much more economical than their successors in the City Council.Lyman, Sons & Co.are veritably a Canadian \u201clandmark.\u201d They have a history of their own, almost, and there are few, if any Instances, in commercial circles to be brought into comparison, where success and strength of position stamp the surroundings of a firm approaching so nearly its centennial, E.B.EDDY.The name of E.B.Eddy is known throughout the length and breadth of Canada, and everywhere he is acknowledged to be one of the shrewdest and most successful bubiness men in the Dominion.About 40 years ago he started business in the little village of Hull, and before long had aequirec 2 considerable portion of the water power afforded by the Chaudiere Falis.Match making was his first venture, and at different times were added the making of pails, tubs, lumber, doors and sashes, indurated fibre ware, pulp, sulphite, and last, but by no means least, the manufacture of various kinds of paper.In 1886 he deemed it advisable to form a joint stock company, end since that time the various branches of the business have been carried on under the name of the E, B.Eddy Company.Four thousand five hundred horse power is required to drive the machinery of the E.B.Eddy Company, and upwards of 1,300 hands are employed the year round.The buildings of the company include two immense stone mills devoted to making paper, a pail factory, a mateh factory, and a washboard factory.The paper mills are supplied with the finest machines of their kind on the continent.One of these machines, which cost over $80,000, is 1371-2 feot long by 86 inches.It has six cylinders, 24 four- foot dryers and three stocks of calenders, This mackine is used for making ing wood board, card board, duplex paper, etc, and has 8 capacity of from 10 to 12 tons per day.This machine is so Constructed as to produce cardboard with different dolored sides, the only machine capable of doing this work in Canada.This mill is also fitted up with six grinders for grinding wood into pulp, and these require 1,850 horse-power to drive them.Thess grinders are 24- inch face, with 4-foot diameters.There are six run of them in mill No.1, and two run in mill No.2.In mill No.1 are 10 beating engines of 50 horsepower each, and four Jordan engines, each of 80 horse-power.In the basement are the huge vats or tanks for holding the pulp, and also various pumping appliances for forcing the pulp up into the beating engines and finally into the paper making machine.In a small addition to the main bilding has been placed the necessary machinery for cutting, dusting and bleaching rags and jute, including two large iron rotarys, each 24 feet long and 81-2 feet in diameter.Altogether it requires 2,500 horse-power to run the machinery in paper mill No.1.About 5,000,000 feet of lumber are sawn each year, all of which is used by the company in their various factories.About 16,000 cords of pulp is consumed annually in their chemical and wood pulp mills; 18 tons of sulphite fibre, 16 tons of wood pulp, 15 tons of manilla, tissue, wrapping and newspapers, and 10 tons of wood board are made daily, together with a daily average of from 260 to 265 dozen wooden pails and tubs; 50 dozen fibre ware pails, tubs, etc., and 27,000,000 matches are turned out each day (Sunday excepted) the year round by the E.B.Eddy Company.The pay roll runs up about $30,000 per month.Mr.E.B.Eddy is the president and managing director of the company, the other officers on the board being: Mr.8.8.Cushman, vice-president; Mr.G.H.Millen, superintendent, and Mr.W.H.Rowley, secretary-treasurer.Mr.J.J.Gormully, Q.C., Ottawa, is also a member of the board.The Montreal branch office is at 818 St.James street, and is in charge of Mn Hardisty.Serpents of Olden Times.The ancients firmly believe in monster serpents of ail kinds, and of both the land and marine species.During the wars with Carthage a great snake is said to have kept the Rome army from crossing the Bagrados River for several days.The monster swallowed up no less than seventy Roman soldiers during this eombat, and was not conquered until a hundred stones from ag many different catapults were fired upon i all at one time.The monster skull and skin were preserved and afterward exhibited in one of the Roman temples.The dried skin of the creature was 120 feet in length, according to Pliny, Boa-Oxus, a city on the Ganges, is said to have been 50 named becauso a gigantic serpent, 120 eubits long and having a double head, was killed at the present site of the town about the year 361 A.D.One of the first copies of the Iliad wus written on tho \u2018great gut\u201d of a

$10,000,000, while the working expenses amounted to 72.14 per cent., or over $7,000,00.The passenger traffic was in excess of former hall years.There was an increase of 7,424, or 2 per cent\u2026, compared with the December half-year of 1890, but there was a decrease of 89,908, or .29 per cent., in the receipts.The freight and live stock traffic shows an increases in the December half-year of 1891, compared with the December half-year of 1590, 46,203 tons, or 1.08 per cent.; and of £17,674, or 1.31 per eent.in the receipts.Tho mechanical superintendent\u2019s reports show that an immense

essentially typical American railway man.Born i Will County, Illinois, in February, 1843, entered in the service of the Illinois Cent Railway, at Chicago, as a telegraph oper ator in 1856.Two years later, he wen over to the Michigan Central, which h served in various capacities for eight year During six months he was a tick agent and telegraph operator; fo three years he acted as train di patcher ; the next year he was superin| tendent of telegraphy, and then for thre years he was divisional superintendent.July, 1872, he was appointed general sup intendent of the St.is, Kansas City an Northern Railway, which position he r signed in 1874 to assume the general mat agership of the Southern Minnesota Rai way, of which he afterwards becam| president.In October, 1878, Mr.Van Hor, was chosen as the general superintendent the Chicago and Alton system, and in Ja ary, 1888, he made another change, tl becoming general superintendent of t Chicago, Milwaukee and St.Paul railway; which position he was occupying when t syndicate, which had undertaken the coi) struction of the Canadian Pacific, recognize that he was the man they wanted and ap pointed him general manager of the new transcontinental system.Since then hb rise has been rapid and deserved, until no he is recognized as one of the leading rail way magnates of the world.When 8 George Stephen retired from the presidenc in August, 1888, the directors at once d cided that only one man could succeed hi And so W.C., Van Horne, the boy tel graph operator of a few years before, we elected as: president of the largest railway system in ihe world.Mr.Vi Horne is now in England, where if rumoi speaks true, he is arranging for a steamshi service across the Atlantic, which will ye add to the unsefuiness of the enterprise 0 which he is so proud.THE PRESIDENT\u2019S ASSISTANT is Mr.Thomas G.Shaughnessy, who Ww in Milwaukee on October, 6, 1853.Hea has received thorough railway training an is an able assistant to his chief.He enter railway service in July, 1869, when h joined the purchusing department of th ilwaukee and St.Paul railway, wher he remained until January, 1873, whe he was appointed storekeeper © the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.Paul road.When Mr.Van Horne was called to manag the Canadian Pacific in 1892, he immediately summoned Mr.Shaughnessy t Montreal, and in October of that year tha gentleman became the general purchasing agent of the new road.His abilities werd soon recognized, for in January, 1884, he was appointed assistant to the general manager, which position he held September# 1885, when he was promoted to the position of assistant manager.About a year after Mr.Van Horne was elected president, or, to be precise, fn September, 1889, Mr.Shaughnessy was appointed assistant manager, and in June, 1891, he was elected a director and vice-president of the Canadiay Pacific.Mr.Shaughnessy has one failing: He objects to be photographed, and has nd | had his likeness

One Must Dance Constantly to Keep in Step-Some of the Fashions for the Fall Season-The Doings of Famous Women=-A Knotty Problem.\u201cJust let & woman stop dancing for even a season, and she will find that she is completely out of the running so far as new steps are concerned,\u201d said a societygirl who, being in mourning the last year, discovered when she once mors entered a ballroom that styles change in dancing as rapidly and completely as in gowns.\u201cNow, there is the two step, something altogether new, which is @ perfect mystery to me How anyone manages to do it with any grace whatever, for two slides one way and two slides another in perfect time to the music is not as easy as it sounds.But have you seen the Oxford minuet?It is perfectly lovely, so quaint you know, and it is stately and hoppy at the same time, for it combines the principles of minuet and polka, It is danced by two, man and woman, of course.\u201cThey take hold of hands and in four times do the steps of the minmet.After the bow that is part and parcel of\u2019 all minuets the time changes to & much more raid measure and away thpey go helter- skelter in a mad polka.Oh, it is just lovely,\u201d she sighed, though it must be confessed the description, though very fetching, did aot convey to the uniniti ated mind avy idea of anything BO ravishing, still one never can tell how a thing goes tntil they try for themselves.Therefore it may be all its ardent admirers claim for it.Other round dances that are popular favorites are the Yorks, the Berlin, Esmeralda and Military Schottische, all pretty, graceful dances, and then, of tourse the never-dying yet frequently murdered waltz survives in diiferent phases of hops, skips, jumps and glides, but ever the most promijnent featurs of any ballroom programine, notwithstanding the little eccentricities of its would- be dancers.The lancers have passed into oblivion, but the polka quadrile, which permits of the Oxford minuet and Berlin being Introduced into the figures, is to be the sole square dance approved of this winter by the fashionable dancing set.Times change and we change with them.Dances take on new phases, but as long as music and young people exist there\u2019 will be no prettier or more popular diversion .than dancing, no matter what form it chooses to assume.Each steamer brings in returning mod- Îstes with their supply of Parisian gowns that are to serve as models and set the styles during the Autumn and winter months.Daring combinations of eolor are to be seen on the very Frenchiest toilettes, and though there is nothing so radically new in their styles save for the tunic\u2014of which more anon\u2014these comminglings of odd tones and tiuts are, to say the least, a little startling.For instance, & very charming bluish- gray shot silk has a slightly draped skirt with a shell ribbon trimming in Lrick red.The bodice has very wide turncd- back revers, edged in fringe of the same tint and a lull fluffy vest of cream lace, caught at the walst by an irridescent buckie.Something not quite so pronounced, yet novel enough to stamp it with a very fetching originality, is of \u201c dark-blue serge with three bias bands of moss-green velvet about an inch wide set at a distance of two inches apart all around the skirt.The long half loose jacket folds in two pleats at the back, through which a velvet belt runs and crossing in front over & dainty frou-frou vest in apple green crepe de chene.The large sleeves of the balloon type, are of the velvet.With this is to be worn a large flat rimmed blue felt hat with soft crown of greon velvet and three tiny blue tips.standing well up in front over a choux of apple green satin ribbon.Some of the old-time revivals is the Frenchy pale pink and blue combinations that were always in the days of our mothers thought wonderfully peculiar and odd.This intermixture is most happily employed in a dinner gown of pals blue grenadine, flowered by the faintest and tiniest delicate pink blossoms.It has a short-waisted bodice and high puffed sleeves, with a floating scarf of pink crepe caught up in the shoulders and then demurely crossed in front, falling to the very edge of the skirt, which jsfinished by a narrow foot-pleating of pink ribbon.The tunic bids fair to be the novelty in dress design this winter.In style it is not unlike the Chinaman\u2019s blouse, but in lace or soft silk it is not nngraceful when reaching nearly to the knees and bound in place by a jewelled girdle.Regretfully we turn our eyes from the filmy fabrics of the waning season and look at the heavier and more substantial materials so soon to be employed in the costumes of the waiter girl, A KNOTTY PROBLEM.If a Married Man Sees a Young Lady Home Should His Wife Be Told Of It ?The American Society of Authors of New York is torn by the throes of an internecine war.It all arose over an attempt to solve this question : Is it proper for a married literary man to escort home from an evening meeting of a literary society an unmarried literary woman, and, whether right or wrong, should the fact be reported by a non-literary woman to the wife of the literary man ?After a recent meeting of the American Society of Authors.Mr.Charles B.Lewis, better known as \u2018\u201c M.Quad :\u201d Mrs: Catherine Hodges, author of a life of Queen Victoria and a \u2018* History of Colorado ;\u201d Miss Le Row, Mrs.Kirk-Ames, and Miss L.B.Anthony, correspondent of the Detroit Free Press, took a surface car for home.All of the party, with the exception of Miss Anthony, live in Brooklyn.When the cross street on which Miss Anthony lives was reached Mr.Lewis left the car with her, telling the other ladies of the party to go to the City Hall Park, where he would overtake them after taking Miss Anthony home.They did so.Mr.Lewis soon overtook them, and the Brooklyn party, after a glass of soda\u2014Mr.Lewis treated\u2014at an all-night drug store, crossed the bridge, A few days after these seemingly trivial but really momentous events Mrs.Beckwith received a letter from Mrs.Hodges, Secretary of the American Society of Authors, informing Mrs, Beckwith that she was no longer a member of that society.The reason given for her expulsion was that she had told Mrs.Lewis that Mr.Lewis had seen Miss Antony home, whereby it is presumed fetting \u2018\u201c M.Quad\u201d into trouble at home.A meeting of the society was called to consider the matter, and the expulsion of Mrs.Beckwith was upheld.New York literary circles are quite worked up over the affair : Members of the various literary sets who were interviewed on the subject were generally of the opinion that in the end the war would result in a healthy literary activity.Mr.Howells, it is thought, will be able to produce a 500-page novel based on the incident of the treat to soda water, modify- ingthe more excit'ng features, and delivering & stunning blow to New York by proper handling of the fact that some soda fountains remain open all night.DAINTY PYJAMAS, The Relgn of the Nightdress Threatened by a More Sensible Garment.q IGHT true it is that this has been a season of remarkable innovations in feminine wearing apparel.Many conspicuous changes in fashion have come about.And now, according to the latest edicts of fash- à London, the robe-de- auit, or, to call it by 54 its real English name, the nightdress, has got to go.Its place \u2018 ia to be taken by pyjamas, those nondescript garments consisting of very loose trousers and jacket, the use of which at night has hitherto been restricted to the masculine sex.The new pyjamas for feminine wear arevery dainty and beautiful contrivances, trimmed with lots of ribbons and laces.Far from diminishing tho attractiveness of a pretty woman, they vastly THE CORRECT GARMENT, increase ir.That they are more healthy and more decent in the case of any emergency, such as a panic of fire at night, is obvious.Pyjamas should be made of the thinnest and finest wool.Here in the United States, especially.where tropical aeht is generally followed by sudden cool waves, wool pext to the skin is essential for preventing shills, Moreover, they possess the inestimable advantage of being not ouly warm in cold weather, but of keeping the body cool when the atmosphere 18 hot.For a number of years pyjamas have been a recognized factor in & man\u2019s wardrobe in this country.Men have found them o great improvement over the old fashioned nightshirt, and their use has been backed up by the sanction of \u2018the doctors The pyjama marks one step in the changes wrought by advancing civilization in the bedroom.The formerly considered indispensable warming pan has entirely disappeared, and so, too, has the picturesque nightcap of our grandmothers.The stately four posted bedstead has been supplanted by the prettier brass arrangement, and now the reign of the nightdress is threatened.WHAT IS A WIFE, Some Pat Answers to a School Teacher's Question, The pretty school teacher, for a littlediver- tissement, had asked her class for the best original definition of \u2018\u2018 wife,\u201d and the boy in the corner had promptly responded : \u201c\u201c\u2018 A rib.\u201d She looked at him reproachfully and nodded to the boy with dreamy eyes, who seemed anxious to say something.\u201cMan's guiding star and guardian angel,\u201d he said in response to the nod.* A helpmeet,\u201d put in à little flaxen-hair- ed girl.\u201cOne who soothes man in adversity,\u2019 suggested a demure little girl.** And spends his money when he\u2019s flush,\u201d added the incorrigible boy in the corner.There was a lull, and the pretty, dark- eyed girl said slowly : \u2018\u201c* À wife is the envy of spinsters.\u201d \u2018One who makes a man hustle,\u201d was the next suggestion.\u201c* And keeps him from making a fool of himself,\u201d put in another girl.\u201c Some one for a man to find fault with when things go wrong,\u201d said a sorrowful little maiden.\u2018¢ Stop right there,\u201d said the pretty school teacher.\u2018\u2018 That's the best definition.\u201d Later the sorrowfu] little maiden sidled up to her and asked : \u2018¢ Aren\u2019t you going to marry that handsome man who calls for you nearly every day ?\u201d ** Yes, dear,\u201d sho replied, \u2018\u201c but with us nothing will ever go

air brake that bears his name, is very much interested in the attempts of railway companies to increase the speed of some trains.He said yesterday : \u201cIt is possible to make a locomotive, perhaps, which can run and draw a train at the rate of eighty miles an hour.That has been dome.But it isn\u2019t a matter of getting speed so much as it is a question of slowing up.The problem of the future, so far as fast travel is concerned, is how to get trains under the quickest control when they are running at high rates of speed.\u201d Mr.Westinghouse went on to say that it had been demonstrated by experiments, ccnducted under his eye, that under the most favorable circumstances the best that a brake would do would be to slack a train at the rate of three and a half miles à minute.\u201cNow,\u201d said he, *\u2018supposing @ train is going at the rate of eighty miles an hour.The engineer sees a danger signal or an obstruction 1,000 fcet ahead of him, which is about as far as signals can be observed with reliance.Heapplies the best possible brake under the best possible con- itions and yet he will be running when he bas passed over that 1,000 feet at the rate of about fifty miles an hour.So far as accident is concerned he might as well be running eighty.The disaster that would follow derailment or collison to a train running fifty miles an hour could be but little less than to one running eighty.\u201d\u2014 New York Press.Six Peas in a Pod, A bad man generally hates a good dog.To listen to a doubt is to listen to a devil.No man\u2019s character is any

THE MONTREAL HERALD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1892.ATTA Grain for Ensilage Purposes.In the account in the Journal of Agri- culture of the Ensilage Convention which Was held in Montreal last winter, the following paragraph appears : Discrepancy among experts.\u2014 Curiously enough, &t the meeting of the Ensilage Associations last month in Montreal, Professor Robertson, of the agricultural department at Ottawa, advised farmers to grow the grain for their cows on their own farms, while Mr, aMe- Pherson advised them to buy it.I agree with the latter, as the consumption of cake, ete., imported from abroad must conduce to the augmentation of the fertility of the land.The heading with the word \u2018Discrepancy\u201d is hardly a fair one, as Professor Robertson and Mr.clearly with different circumstances, and speaking from different standpoints.As a fact the advice of both might be and often sound and to the point.Professor Robertson, in the very practical address he delivered before the convention, deals with what the average farmer of the country could in purs farming accomplish.By pure farming is meant the raising of crops and utilizing them to feed stock.In this pure farming there is very little of a speculative tone or commercial character except in the final disposal of the finished product, beef, pork, butter, cheese or milk.Mr.MacPherson was dealing with his own practice, and showing by it what an enterprising business man who owns farming land could do in the way ol utilizing that land as a manu.factory of food for the publie.The farmer who follows Prof.Robertson\u2019s line will, in this province and Ontario, at any rate, do what may be called a \u2018retail business.\u201d His operations will be limited by the production of his land, strictly speaking.Under the most favorable conditions, and with the very best methods, only he will be able to keep our head of full-grown horned cattle to about three acres of land.So the average 200 acre farm will enable the owner who works it on that principle to keep about 60 or 70 head of cattle, and the necessary horses with MacPherson were which to work it and the hogs necessary .to utilize his bye-products to the best advantage.Probably to-day in Canada there are not more than two or three farmers in a county who do this, if indeed, so many could be found.Under Mr.MacPherson\u2019s plan the business can be run on a much larger scale, a good deal of buying and selling enters into it; the manager or owner has scope to display much varied busjness talent, and indeed the success.of the venture depends as much on the commercial capacity of tbe man as on his knowledge of culti- 29 Common Street, Montreal, State Street, Boston, 02 Walnut Street, Philadelphia \u2014\u2014 vation of the soil, or of the raising end feeding of stock, or of the manipulation of milk, cheese or butter.It is not our purpose to make comparisons between the two methods.Circumstances, opportunities and individual character or training must decide which line any farmer had better adopt.There are, however, some points which it is well fo discuss, and certainly there is more to be considered than the one which in the above quoted paragraph seems to be put forward as conclusive What are the conditions which will justify the farmer to buy all his concentrated food?Take Mr.MacPherson\u2019's own case as an example.- In that address he described what he kad done.His farm is alongeide a station on the Grand Trunk, where he can have his boughten food delivered by the carload within & quarter of a mile of his barns.The farm itself is well adapted to porn and clover raising.It is all, or very nearly all, arable and easily worked, It is situated in a section where cheese factories abound, and, unless our memory errs, there is a creamery on the farm.The station, by which it is, is only about one hour and & balf run to Montreal, and has many trains a day back and forth so that the best local market in the county is at command.Mr.McPherson himself is not \u2018only an exceptional man, as is shown\u2019 by als Position at the head of his business in the whole Dominion, but from his other interests and commercial connections, thoroughly at home in large transac- tiona, and has unusual facility for obtaining the best information upon ail Points connected with the business.Mr.McPherson, by buying oarloads of feed, is able to keep on kis acres nearly one bead to the acre.For him it is easier to do this by buying concentrated food and only raising the bulky ensilage corn and clover hay than it would be ta buy more land, probably twice as much more as he has, and devote his energies and capabilities to raising on that extra land the food he now buys.He can buy Western bran, Southern cottonseed meal, etc., more cheaply than he could raise corn, peas, barley and oats.to make up the deficiences of his ensilage.But it is not by any means every farmer who could do this, and were the great majority to attempt it they would come to grief at once.Suppose even a good farmer who, as is often the case, has had no experience in business were to undertake it, In the first place he could not buy as cheaply and would probably pay an average of $1 to $2 more for his feed.Most farmers are from two to five miles away from a station.The hauling of the feed would add from 50 cents to $1.50 a ton more to its cost.On a great many farms there is a proportion of rough land whish cannot be worked right and must be pastured.This reduces the number of cattle that can be kept, and consequently reduces the scale on which the grain buying cam be done, which, of course, makes the feed more costly.Most farmers cannot sell their products to as | good advantage as Mr.cMPherson and J In Summer-~Via Londonderry.LIVERPOOL AND PORTLAND In Winter-Via Londonderry and Halifax.LIVERPOOL and BALTIMORE Via Queenstown, calling at Halifax, N.S., and St.John\u2019s, N.F.GLASGOW - AND - NEW - YORK Via Londonderry.GLASGOW & BOSTON Via Londonderry and Galway.blEsooN - Via Londonderry and Galway.If blasoow, A dll MONT lo, Ci ey so would find themselves cut olf at both ends and the balance on the wrong side.Of course, between the two extremes there are many gradations, and it is probable that in the Eastern Provinces where mixed farming prevails, it would pay most farmers to buy some extra feed.One of the greatest advantages to be derived from doing this, is that alluded to in the eriticism above, namely, the improvement in the land sure to come from it, To many, even old farmers, & ton of Mmanure is just a ton of manure, no matter from what made.There is nothing, however, more Certain than that rich feed makes rich manure \u2014a ton of barnyard manure from well-fed cattle, especially if fed on highly nitrogenous foods like cottonseed meal, bran, peas, ete, is worth much more than a ton of manure made from cattle fed on straw and hay, The principle of never selling hay off the farm is just the converse of this principle of buying grain on to the farm.If a farmer sells off hay, or grain, or roots, he cannot keep so much stock, and his land is robbed of the natural fertilizing material which ought to go back on to it, On the contrary, if the farmer buys a few tons of grain feed of some kind, he can keep more eattle and enrich his manure pile and so give a greater dressing to his fields, These again will give him a greater crop and enable him to keep still more stock.If à Certain sum of money is available for the enriching of the farm, there is no way it can be better laid out than in feed, Tho good feeder ought to be able, under ordinary cireumstances, to pay for the feed by means of the animals it is fed to and get the oxtra manure for nothing, or at most, the labor of handling, This is a better outlay than to buy manure whether artifical or dung, Still if a farmer has & farm suitable for the growth of peas, barley aud corn, his tastes, habits and training lead him more to eultivation than to trading, he can raise both his bulky foods, such hay, ensilage, and his concentrated foods, such as peas, corn and barley, keep his stock entirely off his own land, make quite sufficient manure to keep up the fertility of that land; run no risk ef bad bargains or loss on the handling, and turn over of the feed, and make a good living off his moderate-sized farm, This is one of the great attractions which farming, as an occupation, holds out, namely, that the farmer need not worry over the rise and fall of prices; need not be at the mercy of the speculators of a distant produce exchange, but living in close contact with nature a8 disclosed on his land, and in his animals gets a good living for himself and family, and lives a safe, healthy and happy, if uneventful and unexciting life, Far stronger and richer would be the community made up of such men, cach tilling and owning a moderate suifi- ciency of land, than one where the soil might be owned and worked by energetic enterprising capitalists, each working in his office and transacting the business in what are called business methods, of large areas with large stocks, J \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Agricultural Notes.In reply to the question, \u2018Can «kim milk be treated so as to keep sweet for twenty-four hours?\u201d the Ontario Agricultural department sent the following: \u201cYes, both whey and skim milk may be kept swest twenty-four hours in the hottest weather by heating to 150 deg.or 160 deg.Farenheit.This treatment kills the germs which cause the souring of the milk and milk products, Most factories have steam, and the cost of heating the bye-products to a sufficiently high temperature to preserve them sweet would cost very little, It has been demonstrated that sweet whey for feeding hogs is worth from eight to ten cents per hundred pounds compared with mid- dlings and corn, What sour, stinking whey is \u2018worth has never been shown.We doubt whether it more than pays for the labor of hauling it to the farm and the feeding of it to the only class of animals that can thrive on it at all.High farming is kept up on the island of Guernsey, which last year exported to London 400,000 packages of garden produce, although it has only 10,000 cultivatable acres, and supports a population of 85,000, The produce exports have increased 800 per cent in seven years, although nearly all the growers are amateurs, who are principally engaged in other pursuits and possess but small agricultural holdings.I have found out by experience, writes & farmer, that cows will give from ten to fifteen per cent more milk when they have all the salt they will eat, I like the plan of throwing a small handful of common salt in the manger every time I put them in to milk If your cows are used to being salted once or twice a week, try my plan and see if it does not increass your amount of milk the most with the least outlay of anything you ever tried, A Question.A correspondent in the West writes on on the subject of ashes: \u201cI seo in Harris\u2019s \u2018Talks on Manures,\u2019 that unleach- ed wood ashes contain 10 per cent potash and 81-2 per cent phosphoric acid.Is the phosphoric acid in a condition to serve readily as food for plants?\u201d Answer.It iseabout as available as the phos- phorie acid in bone dust, but not as available as that in suporphosphates, Mr.Clark says, \u201cmost farmers about here sell their ashes for about seven cents per bushel.\u201d That would seem to indicate either that the soil does not need potash and phosphoric acid, or that the farmers have not found out their real value.Unleached wood ashes contain everything of real manurial value in barnyard manure except nitrogen.If barnyard manure does good, and ashes do not, it is nitrogen that is needed, Crops in Quebec.The harvest month of August is now nearly over, and a pretty accurate estimate of the crop returns can be made, Unfortunately the weather has been such that the fears expressed in the middle of the summer have been justified.A great deal of wet weather has hurt much of the late hay, especially in the Eastern Townships, and there is now no doubt that while the ha crop on the whole is abundant, the quality of much will not be high, and the feeding value of even that well saved will not be as great ton per ton as in a dry year.Wheat in the level land is not by any means up to the average, and much has been wet after cutting and will be discolored, and some even sprouted, Peas are an entire failure, as also potatoes, Thess have been badly rusted or attacked with the 22e blight, Possibly thorough treatment with the Bordeaux mixture would have saved thern in & measure, but it is only the reading class of our farmers who have even beard of this remedy, and of them probably but few have tried it.Oats and barley are a fair crop, but oats will be found to be light in quality and feeding value, This has been a season for the light, warm soils, and on them and thoroughly underdrained land, good returns will be obtained, but on heavy moist or un- drained land the crops have been very uneven and the average poor, OUR SHIPPING INTERESTS.Continued From [Page Twelve.OTTAWA RIVER NAVIGATION CO.The carrying traffic of the Ottawa River, both in freight and passengers, is a very important

that is, he had no business to go, as he did, with Sheriff Tom Owens to suppress that riot over in the Bloomer district last month.It was not in line of bis duties, But then, the call had been a hasty and imperative one, and poor Tom was short on deputies as well as being pressed for time, and Sile could hardly have refused to go even if he had wanted to, which he did not, He enjoyed a little row as well as the sheriff himself did, and, besides, he was one of the most obliging men in the world, So he went, and not only got hit with a club or something, but received a forty- four bullet in his interior department.while Tom and the rest of the posse escaped without a scratch, Sile was better now, and could think with considerable facility; which was unfortunate, perhaps, because his thoughts were mostly of his expiring term of office and his helpless condition, It was pretty tough, everybody agreed, because it was going to be a \u2018 close\u201d year, and Sile was a great worker, His friends, too, unfortunately, were kept pretty busy looking after their own scalps, and could not give his affairs the attention they needed.There was the last payment still due on the house; there was \u2018 paper\u201d in the bank to be taken up; Sile Burton was in a bad financial way, because in addition to being what is known as 8 \u201cgood fellow,\u201d he had made some unfortunate investments lately, and now to complete his misery and overflow the cup, Brad Boutwell, of Chloride district, had come out in his sneaking but effective way, for Jere Hobart for Gown ty \u2018Auditor, and was working night and day for his man, who had been Sile\u2019s strongest opponent in the last convention, Oh, it was tough, and here was Bile lying helpless, with the nominating convention only two weeks away.All this and much more, Sile poured into the ears of his pretty wife as she hovered over him attending to his many wants, in the way that nobody but a woman, and a womanly woman, ever will learn, She did not say so, but she had had a talk with Tom Owens that day, and he had agreed with her that.the outlook was pretty blue; for Brad Boutwell, boss of the Mountain Girl and two lesser mines, employer of 300 men and au entirely unscrupulous politician, was about the worst man in the county to have on the other side, and he had assured Owens that he certainly intended to defeat Burton\u2019s renomination, and \u2018\u201c that\u2019s all there is to it, It goes too, what Brad Boutwell says, and you know it Tom Owens.\u201d Yes, Tom did know it, and he knew that without Boutwell his own name was \u201cDennis,\u201d for he had not the strength in the precincts near the town that Burton had, so his kards weré tied, and he could do nothing for Sile in the Cblo- ride district, : Co Mrs.Burton said nothing to Sile of Tom\u2019s visit to the boss of Chloride.She closed his complaining lips with a kiss every now and then, and chirped away as cheerfully as though mortgages and unpaid notes and big surgeon\u2019s bills and conventions had never a part in her life.And all this time she kept up a \u2018blame sight o\u2019 thinking,\u2019 as Tom Owens used to say to his wife, who was also an ardent admirer of the little * tenderfoot\u201d bride Sile Burton had brought from the States a few months before.Sile Burton was sleeping soundly next morning when his wife, the usual smile gone from her face stole up to his bedside Kissed him softly two or three times, and ran over to the Owens\u2019, It was not until 10 o'clock that he awoke and noticed that the woman by the window as not Mary, but Mrs.Owens.And he did not know that this kindly, big-hearted woman lied when she told him that Mary had \u201c just gone down to the springs to get a prescription filled that they couldn\u2019t put up here, and would be back on the 2,80 train.\u201d Tom Owens, with the buckboard and fidgeting Bay Nell, was waiting, just off the trail, a short distance from Chloride Camp.A pretty little woman, stared at respectfully by the numerous men loafing about\u2014for women were scarce in Chloride, especially pretty and respectable ones\u2014tripped down the street trying to look inconscious, and entered the door of Brad Boutwells office, It was the noon hour, and he was alone, engaged in the pleasureable occupation of disposing of an excellent lunch and a bottle of beer, He heard the hesitating step in the outer office and stepped to the door of bis sanctum, where he stood, somewhat taken aback at the sight of his visitor.It was several seconds after her sweet voice had asked \u201cIs this Mr.Boutwell ?\u201d that he recovered his equanimity and gracefully acknowledged the fact.\u2018 \u201cI am Mrs.Burton\u2014Mrs.Silas Burton.I came to see you\u2014to\u2014to\u2014\u201d But here her courage gave out for & moment, and she did the very best thing she could have done\u2014just wept a few relieving tears, while the sympathetic Boutwell, who had Deen a bachelor \u2018ever since he could remember,\u201d as he himself said, \u201cMy dear madam-ed\u201d he stammered, grew red in the face, vaguely felt himself a triumphant ass, and finally led her gently to a chair, where she finished her weep.Then she pulled herself together and told him the whole pitiful tale.It was indeed, thought Boutwell, who had always had more money than he had known what to do with, a harrowing state of affairs, and so, his bachelor heart overflowing with sympathy for the poor, frightened little emissary who sat before him, and being, it must be said, rather unsettled by this extraor- dinary visit, he agreed, almost before ] he knew it, to let the affair alone and switch the ambitious Hobart off the track, Then with her heartiest handshake, a world of thankfulness shining in her big, brown eyes, and fervent words of gratitude on her sweet lips, the little missionary was gone, and Boutwell, his brain in a whirl, sat down to think.Well, by Jove! Now he had done it! Why, great sacrificed Caesar! The thing was impossible, utterly! Ide rushed to the door, His late visitor was not in sight, He sat down to think more caim- ly this time, n politics there are complications no man can overlook or ignore, There are multifarious complications and obligations that must be attended to and whose existence is due, more often than not, to circumstances whose discovery by the unsympathetic world would be, a calamity to the individtal or individuals most interested.This case was such an one, Hobart had a \u2018\u201c\u2018 çinch \u201d on the boss of Chloride, and was master of the situation, and no one knew it so well as did Jerry himself, who was never slow about gratifying opportunities, Thus Boutwell communed with himself, and the result was much perspiration and an uncomfortable conscience.\u201cWell, no use shedding any tears,\u201d he said aloud; \u2018but, by Jove, I wish I could keep my word with the little woman, What a little duck she is, and how Burton ought to congratulate himself! uHm \u2014 hum \u2014 hum! Poor thing! How rocky she\u2019ll feel when she finds I played such a dirty trick on her, Ye-es, and what'll I say to myself?\u201d Teddy O'Hara, whose family had been kept from starving during the strike a few months before by the charity of the \u2018\u201clittle duck\u201d and her husband, and who had awakened from his noonday nap under the office window about ten minutes previously, chuckled softly to himself and sneaked away, remarking to himself as he reached the street : \u201c\u201cO-ho! Thot\u2019s it, is ut! A-ha! Teddy, me bye, Oi t\u2019ink yees had betther tek a bit thrip over t\u2019 Apache the day.Yees don\u2019t feel loike worrkin\u2019, do yees now?\u201d And he hid his dinner pail and started down the trail for the county seat, whistling gleefully.Of Mrs.Burton's second interview with the smooth Mr.Boutwell it is unnecessary to speak at length, It was uncomfortable for him, but he kept his wits about him and did not lower his flag, and Mrs.Burton went away with a white, drawn face\u2014and with the set lips of a brave little woman who has made up her mind to something, The day for the convention dawned.The visitors from the outside precincts including those from Chloride, were all on hand to see the fun.It was almost time to call the convention to order, but two or three delegations had not arrived.The Chloride delegation was one of these, The visitors from the eamp reported that the delegation had only stopped to hold a brief pow-wow in Chairman Boutwell\u2019s office, and would be along soon, Jere Hobart, as luck would have it, had gotten a glorious \u2018\u2018 jag \"on the night before, and was in bed in his quarters at Chloride, as the result of a fall into the cellar of the Nugget Saloon, He might have pulled himself together and went over to Apache, but everything was \u2018 fixed\u201d and there was no need, he concluded, So he grunted and turned slowly over toward the cocktail on the table, with that action consigning his fate to Brad Bout- well and a supposedly *\u2018 packed \u201d convention, The chairman of the County Central Committee called the convention to order and read the call.The convention effected a temporary organization and the usual committees were\u2019 appointed, during whose deliberations a recess was taken, - - { quickly and earnestly: - Apache, - Tom Owens came to Mrs.Burton, who with a number of other women whose husbands or brothers were interested, directly or otherwise, in the proceedings, was sitting iu the gallery, Owens spoke \u201cThe Chloride crowd isn\u2019t here yet.Hebart\u2019s too sick to come.If Boutwell could only be kept away it'd be 0.K.for Bile, He's the only man that can put Hobart in nomination, and there's a whole mess of his fellows ready to backslide, If only they wouldn\u2019t come! \u201d I\u2014 But here he was sent for in great haste by an anxious constituent and hurried away.When, ten minutes later, he looked up at the gallery, Mrs.Burton was missing.The six men composing the Chloride delegation were in a hurry and, in Bout- well's three-seated wagon, behind his big grays, were making good time for There is a deep ravine, nearly always dry, on the trail between Apache and Chloride that has to be crossed carefully, It is an abrupt descent and a yet more abrupt ascent, and the trail on the Apache side of the gully is ilank- ed by big rocks, which sheltered many a highwayman in the old days.The delegation from Chloride had just reached this spot, and Boutwell was urging the horses up the steep incline, when short and sharp and firm, in a woman's voice, came the command : \u201cHait |\u201d The six men in the wagon could hardly believe their senses.Sitting beside the big rock on the left, very pale, but with compressed lips and eyes that flashed fire and determination, sat a small woman, with a big Winchester, and the weapon was cocked and aimed at Brad Boutwell.The six men in the wagon raved and stormed; they pleaded, begged and threatened; but the little woman on the rock spoke only once, and then said : \u201cBradford Boutwell, you gave me your sacred word that you would not oppose my husband\u2019s renomination.If he is defeated to-day it will probably kill Lim, and that is what you intended\u2014to defeat him, after your promise to me.Now, sir, if you so much as attempt to move from here, you or any of the others, 1 Will kill you !\u201d That was all; but Boutwell, looking at the set face, knew that she would keep her word, and his seat mate\u2019s suggestion that such was the case, was met by an emphatic \u201cYou bet she would !\u201d * * * * * The committee reported; the temporary organization was made permanent, and the Apache County Convention was in full ewing.\u201cNominations for county auditor are now in order,\u201d announced the chairman, and, a moment later, \u201cMr.Randall has the floor.\u2019 Hollis Randall, the rising young District Attorney, rose and made one of the best speeches of his life, setting forth clearly, convincingly, the merits, the claims, the worth of the present incumbent, and when he told of the unfortunate man, lying so ill as the result of a wound incurred in the discharge of unrewarded duties not his own\u2014fighting in the defense of the law\u2014there was a rousing, prolonged cheer.Randall finished amid uproarious applause, and sat down, mopping his forehead with his handkerchief.There was 4 moment\u2019s \u201cvociferous silence,\u201d during which there was some rapid change of sentiment on the part of Hobart delegates.The \u201cPop\u201d Gordon rose.\u201cMr.Chairman, I move that the nomination of Mr.Burton be made by acclamation, thar seemin\u2019 t\u2019 be no more nominations.\u201d \u201cSecond the motion! Second the motion!\u201d came from a dozen throats.\u201cMn Chairman!\u201d screamed a Hobart J \u201cfaithful.\u201d \u201cI call the gentleman to\u2014\u201d Here Bill Dover, chairman of the dissenter\u2019s delegation, grabbed him by the coat tails and pulled him down.Bill wag an astute politician and he knew the day was lost.But the enthusiast would not \u2018\u2018down.\u201d When the yeas and nays were called for he and a half score of others came out strongly in the negative, and when further nominations were declared in order, he rose and nominated Jere Hobart.The ballot stood sixty-three to thirty- seven in Burton\u2019s favor, and Tom Owens, forgetting that in a few minutes the nominations for sheriff would be made, dashed over to Sile\u2019s house with the news, and was surprised to learn that anxious little Mrs.Burton was not there.But the Chloride visitors who left to convey the news of Hobart's defeat home were more surprised than Owens when they suddenly Pound, on the way home, where the missing delegation was, and why it was missing, and it almost took their breath and the delegation\u2019s away to see that fire-eating Amazon on the rock collapse into very weak tears when she heard the glad news.Hobart and his friends were mad, of course; but one cannot make war on & woman, you know, and, besides, most of them came to look on the matter after a while as a huge joke.Boutwell ?I am inclined to think, after it was all over, that he was rather glad than otherwise.\u2014R.L.Ketchum in the Argonaut.{me A Sailor Husband, Ob, he goes away singing Singing o\u2019er the sea!
