upon it the welfare of that State largely depends, so its Democratic Governor testifies, and many of its mostrespected citizens, including an ex-Senator of honored name.Is that development confined to that State alone?By no means.With the addition of the coal fields of old Virginia, the Norfolk and Western, the Chesapeak and Ohio obtain from these minesa very valuable freight in transport to the seaboard.On other bituminous fields, the Baltimore and Ohio, and even the great Pennsylvania road, obtain no inconsiderable part of their freight.\u201cIf the coal be made free, there will be fierce competition with the coal of Nova Scotia and not only will the mines of West Virginia, or Old Virginia and Pensylvania suffer, but the great railroads will suffer also.To be sure these are corporations without souls, but the stocks and bonds are owned by people with souls.Unless political infidelity should determine otherwise, whether Nova Scotia coal would afford any rea] relief to New England manufacturers if it were a separate measure is a matter much in dispute, but that it would give them any relief adequate to the damage this bill will do them is not in dispute at all.\u2018Without being guilty of that attempt lo press the question into a nut-shell, which is the bane of economic discussion it may be briefly said that every product which goes to market must meet every other like product on equal terms.If, in the United States there are higher wages and a higher cost of capital, these must be such barriers against goods from abroad as will equalize these higher costs, or the products of the United States cannot be sold except at a loss.Sales at a loss cannot long continue.\u201cWe have before us always three problems, wages to be maintained, hours of labor to be lessened, and prices to be lowered.Not one, but all.\u201cIt is true that invention at once keeps pace with and regulates the demand for higher wages and for lower prices and fewer hours, which are the conditions of our higher plan of civilization, but it cannot do more.It cannot meet in addition the lower prices of a lower level of civilization, Our inventions are too quickly absorbed by foreign countries to permit this, Hence the result of a refusal to protect our Yzbor at present rates must result in lower Wages.If the tariff clement be lower, then something must be lowered on ont side, and in the last analysis it will be labor and Capital, and in the long run the loss of Apital is also & loss of labor, for capital employs labor and lost capital sets no machinery in motion.We must then meet the reduction of foreign goods, which are our competitors, by reduction of the price of labor._ Some men regard this as a solution of the problem and soothe themselves with the thought that perhaps some return.All come from the cheapness of things made abroad, without thinking that all that is made abroad by this plan is but labor unemployed and unpaid here at home.But while this easy solution of ihe problem is simple enough on paper it will prove very uncomfortable in practice, Men who have work at one rate of wages cannot be easily taught in real life that it is just as well to work at a lower rate.1t is one of the elements of human progress that that same unwillingness to take a lower station than the highest already tilled.Not only is this so in the individual, but in erganiaztions of men it is even wore strikingly so.And when any sensible man looks forward to the waste of labor and capital which will ensue in the struggle to do what sees so simple on paper,\u2014a reduction of the prices of labor to coinpete with the prices of labor abroad, \u2014he feels that it ought to take much faith in the bygone wisdom of Richard Cobden to nerve the modern reformer to his task.\u201cThere is also another view of the question of wages which is not to he overlooked.Lessened wages means lessened consumption, 1f wages were diminished one-half, one-half our market or products would be one.\u201d The report then opposes the change to the ad vulorem principle, and objects to action until an internal revenue bill has been submitted, and proceeds: \u201cWe have not thought it desirable to make any appeals to passion or to prejudice; far from that we have taken thus far no notice of the condition of business now, which is terrible and of the workingmen which beggars description.There is no need for us to present this to the country.It is presenting itself.In 100 representative cities where the number employed exceeds 2.500,000 of peoypic.Milly one-third by the most conservative estimate ave without employment, These are engaged in the protected industries.These who are not and who thought they were beyond the touch of the tarif, now know the solid fact that all industries are prosperous or none.Spread this all over the eountry as you must, and the result will startle even the unthinking.It is not necessary for us to bring this to public view.Knowing enough they can keep it out of everybody's face and eyes.\u201d The report then takes up the schedules of the bill seriatim beginning with chemicals and analyzes the changes made and comments upon the probable effect of those changes upon the industrial future of the country.The most iinportant portions relate to iron, wool and coal.Of the latter it is said : \u201cOne of the most amazing propositions of the bill is that bituminous coal be put upon the free list, and the millions of dollars per annum almost, that we receive from its importation by way of revenue absolutely thrown away.Coal has little value save as it gets it from labor.Except for a short period it has always borne a duty.Under the revenue tariff of 1846 it bore a duty of 30 per cent.ad valorem.No change has been made in the duty on it since 1872.The Mills bill provided the same rate as the present law, 75 cents per ton.\u201cNow it is proposed to make it free.It is difficult to imagine why.I is the most universally prevalent of all the products of American industry.There are few states or territories that an interference with it will not aftect.The working of these immense coal field gives employment directly to nearly a quarter of a million of men at American wage rates and furnishes opportunities for labor to another army of men in addition at like wage rates.lt furnishes freight for our railways and water ways from one end of the land to the other.In 1892 we mined 113,000,000 tons.Thirty-one States contributed to the grand aggregate, middle States, southern States, western States, and those on the Pacific Coast, those lying next the sea and those lying inland, those bordering the great lakes and in the Mississippi Valley, all are interested in this magnificent American industry.\u201cThe products of the coal deposits of Nova Scotia, immense in extent and richness, can be marketed in New England at a less cost than the coals of Penna, Virginia, West Virginia, and the coal from the remote Southern States.This isa matter of history.Learning a lesson from experience a syndicate has already been formed, including among its projectors many well-known and influential men in the Democratic party, to operate Canadian fields and dispose of their products in the New England market.The Canadian coal deposits along the line of the North Pacitic R.R.are sufficient in area and near enough in location to supply our north-western States.Transportation by way of the great lakes gives foreign coals easy entry to the Mississippi Valley.Foreign vessels bringing coal as ballast to New Orleans and other Southern ports even now compete with the coals of Pennsylvania and West Virginia.There are extensive Mexican coal mines just across the Rio Grande already opened up and coal mines extensively operated only seventy miles away ready to furrish all the fuel Texas needs for its locomotives, steamers, factories and houses.So far as the Pacific is concerned it already feels the effects of imports of coal from Australia and British Columbia.«It thus appears that on every side peculiar facilities are afforded to foreigners to geize our coal trade, if only the duly on coal be stricken down.And this simply by reason of the difference hetween foreign wage rates aud our own.The difference in cost to the consumer from the removal of the duty would be slicht in the first instance; the loss to American labor and American capital would be incalculable, and the loss to the whole people in the last analysis beyond measure, To put coal on the free list is without reason and against reason and finds no semblance of defence save in the unjustifiable desire to exploit a theory at the expense of the American people.\u201d The minority conclude their exhaustive report by expressing their disapproval of the changes proposed in the administrative part of the act.They will have none of it altogether.The New Propeller Destroyed.HAILFAX, Dec.?1.\u2014A four ton propeller for the steamer City of King-ton came from Glasgow the other day, and was discharged for trans-shipment to Jamaica to meet the City of Kingston there.In lifting the massive propeller from the wharf into a lighter, the falls broke, and fhe propeller crashed into the hold of the hghter, Two blades snapped off, and the propeller was otherwise injured.It was rendered useless by the fall.Confessed to Five Murders.ov », 91.\u2014 Allen Cou- * KyoxvirLE, Tenn., Dec.21.-\u2014Allen Cou sins, colored, the condemned wife murderer, was executed here to-day.He confessed yesterday that he had killed five persons in Mexico while working on a railroad six years ago.An Immense Gas Well.Porrraxn, ind, Dec.21.\u2014-Fhe largest gas well ever struck in this section has heen drilled three miles North of Camden.Tt cubic fect, ae TRAVELLERS DINE.An Enjoyable Feast at Windsor Hall Last Night.President Watson Returns Thanks ~The Work of the Association\u2014 About 250 People Present\u2014 Speeches and Songs Which Were Heartily Enjoyed.HE commercial travellers of the Domn- inion have every reason to be delighted with their annual dinner, which took place last night in the Windsor Hall.About 250 mem- the associa- bers of tion and invited frienes sat down at eight o'clock to as nice a repast as one could wish for.The menu was distinctly Windsor: that is probably sutiicient praise.The gathering was an exceedingly happy one: apparently all al troubles, which characterized the annual meeting, were forgotten, and there seemed but one idea in all that number cf men\u2014-a desire to do credit to the Association hy enjoying each other's company and seeing just how many nice things they could say of their neighbor, even if he did travel for an opposition house.The chair was occupied by President Watson, and at the table of honor sat Dr.those person.Desjardins, Col.Stevenson, Hon.Peter Mitchell, Hon.J.J.Curran, and ex-Presi- dents Cains, Skinner and Hughes.The vice chair was occupied by Vice-President McNally.The Hall never looked nicer, over the stage between the folds of inumense Grecian curtains gas jets blazoned forth \u2018\u2018Commercial Truvellers;\u201d everywhere could he found remembrances of the association so largely represented.Hundreds of fairy lamps and beautliul flowers graced the tables and on the stage McGuirk's orchestra played music that was enchanting.So good was it that despite the no-encore rule several pieces had to be played again.lt will easily be imagined, then, in the midst of such surround- mgs the time passed most pleasantly and it was almost startling to find when the president arose to speak that nearly two and a half hours had been spent in partaking of dinner.\u201cI want to take this opportunity,\u201d said Mr.Watson, \u201cof publicly thanking vou for the great honor you have done me in making me your president.\u201d Then he went on to speak of the good work being done by the Association; of its $100,000 which had been handed to the widows and orphans; of its S135,000 invested as a permanent fund, and of the credit due to past presidents and directors for the able manner ir which the work of the association had been handled.Next he proposed the health of the Queen, which toast was drank as usual.\u201cThe President of the United States\u201d brought Dr.Anderson to his feet.That he is personally populir was quite evident.His former acquaintance with Montreal, which terminated through a force of civ- cumstances over which he had no control, had been happily.renewed, he said, and though some years had been spent in the States, he had little to say that was not already known.Over production was of course a live topic, and why shouldn't it be ?Wasn\u2019t it an over production of votes that resulted so disastrously for the party in 1888?A very humorous reference to the Behring Sea troubles was followed by a chat on the great civic improvements which had taken place in the last four years.\u201cOf course I might not be so happy if I were a tax - payer,\u2019 he said, und Hen.Mr.Michell chimed in with \u201cyou're lucky.\u201d Mr.Anderson concluded by a fervent hope for the prosperity of this country as well as his own.It was continued peace we wanted and he hoped if any soldiers had to cross the line from either side they would all be made to walk a tight rope over Niagara.Messrs.Bordeau and Venables here contributed well rendered songs and between them the health of the Governor General was drunk.For ten minutes the gathering listened intently to a recital by Mr.Carmichael who has already achieved fame as au elocutionist.In one of the best worded and thoughtful speeches of the might Vice-Presi- dent MeNally proposed the toast of the \u201cCommercial interests of the Dominion.\u201d He was glad that in the aggregation of natural interests which tell of a great and wonderful future, an important factor in the development could be found in the commercial travellers of the Dominion.He asked Hon.Peter Mitchell to respond.Mr.Mitchell was heartily welcomed, He soon warmed to his task, and in eloquent language recalled the heroes who had first put this province in a position to make itself so valuable to that Confederation, which had been brought about after years of hard labor.As one of the six surviving fathers of this Confederation\u2019 he was proud that not one amendment had yet been made.Gradually he came round to the present commercial interests.We could look at our commerce und be proud of it, and to the men assembled around him credit was due for doing their share in building up a country which would take no second place with any other in the world.Mr.Laporte of the Chambre of Commerce, replied to the toast in French, and after Mr.Labelle had delighted everybody with a song, L.J.Paton proposed \u201cTle Railway and Forwarding Interests of the Dominion.To this Mr.Curran responded.It was the twelfth annual dinner of the association which he had attended and he congratulated them on their ever increasing prosperity.In glowing terms he spoke of the wonderfully satisfactory condition of Canada and of the hundreds of thousands of people who dailv labored in connection with the railway and forwarding interests.The speech has been several times reported.\u201cOur Guests,\u201d \u201c\u2018Sisier Associations,\u201d and the \u201cMayor\u201d and *\u2018Corporation\u201d were toasted.Mayor Desjardins and Col.Stevenson made very pretty speeches.«The Ladies\u201d came next ;

The payment for the yacht hought of him by Monson had not vet been settled.Col.Tillard testified as to an accident | that occurred in 1891, when he was snipe shooting.His gun had accidentally been discharged while he was walking on slippery rock and its contents hit him in the head and car, rendering hima unconscious.When he recovered he found that both barrels of his gun had been discharged.J.B.Robine Innes.a barrister, testified that the documents signed by the deceased regarding the £20,000 insurance with the New York Mutual Insurance Company did not affect a valid assignation.John Blair a solicitor for Monson was the next witness for the defence.He testified that he met Monson on August 25th when the latter was very anxious to find Scott.Advertisements were placed in newspapers and everything was done withont avail to discover his whereabonts.As soon as the defenet \u2018announced that its evidence was all in, Mr.Alexander Asher, Solicitor General, addressed the jury in behalf of the prosecution.He asked the jury to tind a verdict of guilty on both charges of the indictment.TE ARC PORTRILION Readers Should Not Fail to Obtain the First

Desbarats Examined\u2014Kennedy Refused to Glve Him Reports and Strongly Resented Supervision \u2014 Time Sheets That Did Not Agres.The Lachine Canal investigation was re- | hed yesterday, when the examination of r.Desbarats was proceeded with.Mr.Desbarats stated that he is an assistant epginecr in the employ of the Dominion Government, and in charge of special works.À year and a Lalf before the commencement of the work on the Wellington street bridge he had prepared some sketches for the plan for the proposed bridge at Wellington street.This was merely preliminary work and had been done in Qttawa.The original plans provided for 14 feet of pavigation, but about the 18th Nov, 1848 the plans were altered to provide for navigation to the depth of 18 feet, and the laps and speeitications had to be changed consequençe.This increased the ex- pe neo considerably.He made several estime tes ab different times during the spring and summer of 1892, These estimates ha been made under the direction of Mr.Tru- desu.So far as he knew, Mr.Parent had nothing to do with the Preparation of these ofbimates, though he had been ussisted by plane sent from Mr.Pareat\u2019s office.His estimate for the work, providing for 18 feet navigation, was $220,000.The addition to the cest to provide for 18 feet navigation was due to the necessity of taking down the old abutments altogether snd necessity of excavating new foruda- tions, Vosides the reconstruction of the ubütments.While the work was in pro- there was some talk in Montreal about ghanging the plans to provide for 22 feet of navigation.The Board of Trade made some representations to the government on the subject and Mr.Schreiber wrote Mr.Parent te provide for 22 feet.He made another preliminary estimate, but this second increase of the depth did net add very materially to the cost.hen he made the estimates he had no ides that the work would be done in any great hurry.His estimate was not for a hurried piece of work, and he provided for the eonstru tion of a coffer dam and not for the {hore expensive methods followed.As far #8 his estimate fo atone work was concerned, he calculatad on the basis uf $10 a cubic yard for reck face with a large amount of ordinary backing.He did not think the baking would be picked.He understood when he came from Ottawa that he was to work under Mr.Parent.He always reported to him and acted under his instructions.He never reported to him in writing, but verbally, from time to time.He never made any report on the men employed on the works, ns he supposed that it was Mr.Kennedy's duty to do that.A: the end of February he le:t the works.He subsequently visited the works, however.On the occasion of a visit on the 14th of Mareh he remarked that there was a large force of men employed, but he would not say that there were too many.\u201cWhy were you removed from the works?Were your services uusatisfactory 7° \u201cWhen I waz removed l asked Mr.Schreiber if there was wuy fault found with me, and he said that, on the contrary, Mr.Parent was very well pleased with ny services, and was desirous that 1 should remain.Mr.Schreiber thought, however, that Mr.Papineau could do the work alone.\u201d Witness explained that upto a certain date he kept track of the number of men employed on the work and what they were employed at.He also made an estimate of the work done by the stone cutters and found, after a very close calculation, that they cut about half a cubic yard a day.This was on the Wellington bridge.He could not say whut the men on the G.T.R.bridge did, but on visits he had made there the men seemed to be working steadily.He considered it to be the duty of an assistant engineer to keep himself posted on the force of men employed on the works under his charge, the hours they worked, their wages, ete., so that he could keep posted on whut the work was costing.This duty he considered all the more incutubeat, where the force of men was employed by a contractor, for it might be to the contractor's advantage to put in false returns.Witness got time returns on the works from the time-keepers, and checked them over himself by walking around among the nen, until the 10th of February.fhere ad been no trouble up to that Lime getting the time returns from Mr.ennedy and his time-keepers, but after that date he refused to give witness the reports, and instructed the timekeepers to act similarly.Witness conld conceive of no reason why Mr.Kennedy should sa refuse.\u201cWhat were the relations between yourself and Mr.Kennedy ?\u201d \u201cMy relations with Mr.Kennedy at the start were of the very best, but after a while he seemed :0 object tome being about.He said that I interfered too much, nud particularly objected to my getting information about the time.\u201d \u201cWhat Was your opinion of Mr.Kennedy as an overseet ?\u201d \u201cI thought that he was an exceedingly hard working man, deeply interested in the work.He was always around.1 thought his installation of plant, etc., on the expensive side, but he justified himself on account of being in a great hurry.\u201d Ip reply to a commissioner, witness stated that one result of the work being pushed and the men being required to work at night and on Sundays would be that the cost would be materially increased.Men could mot work so well at night as by day.When preparing his estimates fer the work he had taken cognizance of the reports on the the work on the sameasite at the time of the widening-of the canal.He had had access to all the figures and thought that the work done last year should be between 30 and 40 per cent.less expensive, Witness understood that Mr.Kennedy was Lo act as purchasing agent om the work and was to employ the men, etc.Witness\u2019 written instruotions gave him charge of the work but his verbal instructions were that Mr.Kennedy was to do the purchasing and to look after the temporary work.Witness denied the assertion in Mr.Kennedy's statement that he had ever inconvenienced Mr.Kennedy by keeping him waiting for plans.All that witness did in connec- tien with the renewing of the NO QUARTER will do you as much od as the ore that

included the timber for the G.T.R.bridge.He had made out the bill for the timber required for the permanent work, and Mr.Kennedy added what was required for thie tem- whole Lill came to He understood at the tiie that Me.Kennedy had pur in all the timber he needed.He did not enquire into the prices, as he had keen told by Me.\u2018Trudeau, when he came down, that Mr.Kennedy would attend to the purchasi g There was certainly a great difteren-e between their bill ior 315,000, and the one actually rendered of £62,000.Witness had refused a considerable quontity of timber supplied by Mr.Henderson.Some of it Was too small.M: Henderson ciaimed that it was within the conditions of the contract, and witness finally arranged for the delivery of a quan tity at the required size, by allowing Mr.Henderson to supply spruce and hem:- lock for the portion of ihe crib work under water.Witness had drawn Mr.Parent's attention to the fact thal a large quantity of heavy spruce sunplicd had been billed us square pine.He ulso drew Mr.Parent's attent:on to avery large item for threc-inch planks.Witness had oniy seen the December bill for lumber.He did not like to cxpress wn opinion as to the valne of the lumber suppliea at the works for tho false works, for there were so many different qualities.It was not tirst- class stuff.A good deal was not pine.He thought that a very large amount of lumber bad been supplied before he left.Witness saw Mr.Parent pretty often on the work.He wus not there every day, but went down frequently.\u201cWhat was the relationship between Messrs Parent and Kennedy *\u201d \u201c\u201cGocasionally their relations seemed rather strained.Mr.Kennedy wanted a freer hand, and seemed to object to Mr.Parent\u2019s supervision.\u201d Rhortly ater Mr.Schreiber received his appointment he gave an order that tenders for all supplies were to be called through ths office of the department, and the authority to purchase supplies.so far ac Mr, Jenaedy was concerned, wus wiped out.e thought that in view of the special cireumstances which had arien the work might have cost altogether $300,- 000.His estimate had been $230,000, Without the superstructute the bridge should not have cost $225,000 or $230,- 100.Asked further about the relations between himself, Mr.Parent, and Mr.Kennedy, witness said that Mr.Kennedy fere with kim in the least about the management of the work.He resented the requests of the witness for information about the force employed, and regarded it as an unworrantable interference.Witness once asked for sume information about the St.Louis contract and Mr.Kennedy said: \u2018\u201c\u201cÏl am running this job, and will take ne instructions from you.\u201d Mr.Kennedy seemed to think that he had fuil control of the work and that neither witness nor Mr, Parent had auy right to interfere.Witness was shown a letter dated in October, 1892, in which Mr.Parent instructed Mr.Kennedy to call for the tenders for the supplies needed in connection with the work at the Wellington bridge.Witness had not previously seen the letter.He produced some copies of the time sheets, which hud been furnished him hy Mr.Coghlan, the time-keeper, and which he was asked to compare with the sheets furnished on the same days by Mr.St.Louis.He read out the returns as follows :- \u2014 MK.ST, LOU ls\u2019 MR.COCHLAN'S SE SHEET.Witness got no more pay lists after that, Mr.Kennedy objecting to his getting them.He had not to check the pay lists.He could not say for certain whether Coghlan's lists were used to check the pay lists, but hie understood that they were.Witness had seen Coghlan taking the men\u2019s time.He did not recollect his method exactly, but he he- lieved he got the time from the foremen.Witness personally investigated Coghlan\u2019s time list Ly going over the works and found no di repancy.Mr.Vaniev-\u2014\u2014*\u201cThat is so much the worse* for Mr.St.Louis.\u201d \u201cDo you think that in view of the way things were going, Mr.Parent would have been justified in discharging Mr.Kennedy?\u201d \u201cIt might have been very difficult to get another man to take up the work.as Mr.Kennedy had all the details in his hands, and you must remember that the work had been hardly begun before I left.\u201d \u201cWhat would have been the effect, for instance, if Mr.Kennedy had been dismissed about the beginning of March?\u201d *\u201cIt would have surely caused a serious interruption of the work.\u201d \u201c Would there have been much interruption if the dismissal had taken place in February *\u201d *\u201c Not so much perhaps, but the disagreement had not reached an acute stage by February.\u201d \u201cYou said that vou thought that from one reason and another the work was going to cost more than the estimate.What excess of cost did you anticipate ¥\u2019 ¢ I did not think that it would be very much more, but from the extravagance in the lumber supplies and the plant, I thought that the cost would exceed the estimate.\u201d \u201cWas the timber delivered for the tem- orary works much more in quantity then Mr.Kennedy asked for in Lis invitation to tender ?\u201d \u201cYes.\u201d Mr.Foster, on behalf of Mr, Kennedy\u2014 \u201cWhat led you to suppose that Mr.Kennedy was in charge of the G.T.R.bridge work 7\u2019 \u201cI understood that he was in charge from what he said to me some time before | left.\u201d \u201cWhen was that?\u201d \u201cAbout the beginning of February.\u201d \u201cWhat date did the Government decide to undertake the construction of the G.1.R.bridge?\u2019 \u201cI can only tell by my instructions.\u201d \u201cWhat date did you receive your ins structions ¥\u2019 iy \u201cSome time about the middle of January.\u201d \u201cDo you know from whom Mr.Kennedy received his instructions to take charge of the work on the G.T.R.bridge ?\u201d \u201cNo.\u201d Mr.Vanier\u2014\u201c\u201cPrevious to giving your testimony before this Commission did you have any communication with Mr.Parent, or have any conversation about this matter ?\u201d \u201cNo.Of course I discussed the mutter with him in the office when I was employed on the works, but I have had no communication with him since.\u201d Witness did not know whether Mr.Kennedy had applied to My.Parent for permission to go on with the G.T.R.bridge.Mr.Vanier : \u2018\u201c Did you net think that Mr.Kennedy had a big political pull aome- where?\u201d \u201c Well, I have heard it said, but I do appeared to think that nobody should inter- + \u201cDc you think that the nien

the question .or the GTR.vidge, an! after 1 uding ot de said that x teadud to conviuce him that Mr.Kennedy wus in charge of the work on both bridges.Mr.Parent -**Wheu you left the works were vou well
