ASWER BY MANITOBA yHF, REMEDIAL ORDER OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, LITE REFUSAL TO COMPLY WITH ro THE INSTRUCTIONS, The Appointment of a Royal Commis siou May Result from the Reply\u2014 winnipeg Papers Comment on Premier Greenway\u2019s Answer.(Special to the Herald) June 13.\u2014Manitoba's reply ig of the Federal Govern- pent that Roman Catholic separate schools be restored was laid before the Legislature to-day.It was neither compliance with ihe order nor proposal of compromise, but à polite \u2018and dignified refusal, as wired the Herald last pight, to take & retrogressive step.Manitoba gently reproves the Ottawa Ministers Tor hasty and fll-considered Lion, suggests that they study the question fully before taking the threat- jet action, and kindly offers to fur- olen much-needed information.It is so stated that, If the alleged confiscation of Roman Catholic church pro- rty can be proven, Manitoba will make compensation.It is expected these offers of Manitoba will be taken advantage of bY the Federal Government and a royal comnussion of enquiry appoint- el The matter will thus be shelved until after the Federal and provincial 1 elections.hen the Legislature met this afternoon the galleries were crowded with expectant citizens, and the knowledge that Premier Greenway had not returned from the east created the appre- henson that another postponement would be proposed.This did not prove quite correct, for though delay in consideration was asked the reply was laid on the table, and Attorney-General Sifton gave notice that on Monday next Premier Greenway would move the adoption of the resolution.The document was then read, as follows: \u201cThe privileges which by the said order we are commanded to restore to our Roman Catholic fzlowrcitizens are substantially the same privileges they enjoyed previously to the year 1890.Corri- pliance with the terms of the order wewuld restore Catho.dc separate schools, with ro more .satisfactory guarantees for their efficiency than existed prior to said date.\u201cThe educational policy embodied in pur present statutes was adoprea after an examination of résults of the policy theres tofore Ioliowed, under which separate Roman Catholic £chcols (now sought to be reiiored) had existed fcr a period oi upwards of nineteen years.The said schools were found to be inefficient.As con tue unir the Roman Catholic Ryard of Education they.did not possess the attritutes of eificient modern public échvois.\u2018Thuir conduct, management and regulation were\u2019defective.As a result of daving a large section cf pepulation with.no better means of educaliun Lhan -was thus supplied, many propie grew up in _ & stale Of liliteracy.So far as we are \u201caware there nas never teen an attempt made to difend these schools on their merits, and we do not know of any ground upon which expenditure of putw Je money in their support could be justi ed.\"We ave therefore compeiled to Te Spectfully state to Your Excellency-in- Council that we cannot accept the responsibility of carrying into effect the terms of the Remedial Order.\u201cObjections upon principle may be taken to any modification of our educational statutes which would result in the establishment of one or more sets of separate schools.Apart, however, from ob- Jections upon principle, there are serious objections from a practical educational standpoint.Some of these objections may de briefly indicated.\u201cWe labor under great difficuities in maintaining an efficlent system of primary education.The school taxes bear heavily upon our people.The large amount of land which is free from school taxes and the great extent of country over which our small population is scattered present obstacles to efficlency and progress.The reforms effected in 1890 have given an impetus to educational work, but difficulties which are inherent In our circumstances are constantly to be met.It will be obvious that the establishment of à set of Roman Catholic schools, followed ty a set of Anglican schools, and possibly by Mennonite, Icelandic and other schools, would so im- Pair our present system that any ap Poach to even our present general Standard of efficiency wouid be quite impossible.We contemplate the inau- gwation of such a state of affairs With very grave apprehension.We have no hesitation in saying that there cannot be suggested any measure which to hot mirds would more serfously imperil le development of our province.or believe that when the Remedial ov 2 Was made there was not then î i able to Your Excellency-in-Council Wone1d accurate Information as to the orking of our former system of schools.\u20ac also telleve that there was lacking \u20ac means of forming a correct judgment as to the effect upon the y [ pro- ce of the changes indicated in the \u201cBeing impressed with this view, we topecttully submit that it is not yet hin late to make a full and deliberate estigation of the

Conclusions could be formed with \u201c I onable degree of certainty.on Is urged most strongly that up- it de important a matter, involving as vies the religious feeiings and con- .Ons of different

briefly tention to some cit thé legal and round Tonal difficulties which rite \u20ac case.It is held by some au- es that any action taken by the Wii oo nt of Canada upon the subject irrevocable.While this opinion fi or MAY not be held to be sound, to point our judgment only necessary gro pat en here are Substantial , pining such an opin- or a Seder to emphasize the an one ing & most able knowledge of = \u20acor any suggestion of par- Tpeton is made.It will be Hective : at the two essentials of any an nd substantial restoration of ML npétholie privileges are: wy £ right to levy school taxes.Legian, Tight to participat slatiy pate in the Wivileges gp 100] grant; without these oper Separate schools cannot be 4ÿ carried on and withqut them, privileges would be iliusory.It may Ye held that power to collect taxes for school purposes conferred upon school beards by our former educational statutes was conferred by virtue of the Provisions of suty-section 2 of section 92 of the British North America Act and LOL by virtue of provisions of section 22 of the Manitoba Act.If this view be well founded then that portich of the act of 180 which abolished said right to collect taxes is not subject to appeal to Your Excellency-in-Council and the Remedial Order and any subsequent legis~ lative a t of Parliament of Canada (in so far as they may purport to restcre the sald righ!) will b: ultra vires.\u201cAs tothe legislative grant we hold that it is entirely within the control of the the Legislature of the province and that no part of the public funds of th: province could be made availabe for the support of Separate schools without the voluntary action of the Legislature.It would appear, therefore, that any action of the Parliament of Canada looking to the restoration of Roman Catholic privileges must, to bz of real and substantial bencs fit, be supplemented by the voluntary ace ton of tas Provincial Legislature.\u201cIf this be the case, nothing could be more unfortunate from the standpoint of the Roman Catholic people themselves than any hasty or peremptory action on the part of the Farliament of Canada, because such action would probably pre- duce strained relations and tend to prevent possibility of restoring harmony.\u201cWe respectfully suggest to Your Excellency-in-Council that all of the above considerations call most strongly for full and careful deliveration and ror such a course of petition as will avoid irritating complications.We deem it proper, also, to call attention to the fact that 1t is only a few months since the latest decision upon the subject was given by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.Previously to that time, a majority of the members of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba had either expressly or impliedly given pledges to their constituents, which they feel in honor bound loyally to fulfil.\u201cWe understand that it has been lately suggested that private funds of the Roman Catholic church and peonie had teen {nvested in school buildings and land that are now appropriated for public school purposes.No evidence of such fact has ever been laid before us, so far es we can ascertain, but we profess ourselves willing, if any such \u2018in- Justice can ne established.to make full and fair compensation therefor.\u201cIn conclusion, we beg respectfully to place on record our continued loyalty to Her Gracious Majesty and to the laws which the Parliament of Great Britain has In its wisdom seen fit to enact for the good government of Canada.\u201d WINNIPEG PRESS OPINIONS.f the Manitoba Government's answer to the Remedial Order in the school question, the Free Press to-night says editorially: ~ We believe the reply will meet with the approval of the psople of this province, and.of thinking men throughout thé Dominion.It is not a blunt refusal to do anything, but a clear explanation of- the reasons why it Is impossible to comply with the order which the Ottawa Ministry took upon itself to lay upon the Legislature of Manitoba.With sufficient.delicacy, but plainly enough, Sir Mackenzie Bowell and his colleagues are told that they dewnot tion in Manitoba, with the necessary in- Terence that they would not have issued the order, had they been more fully informed, and that if they desire knowledge the Provincial Government will give all the assistance in its power towards enlightening them.The answer is digni- ied, logical and convincing, and in effect shows that, while the present Legisia~ ture of Manitoba is in nowise obstinate, but willing to prove its assertions and support its position, any change that may be found possible, can only be made after the disappearance of the existing Remedial Order and in response to a more reasonable and friendly proposal.\u201d The Tribune thus concaudes its editor- lal on the Government\u2019s reply: \u201cWe believe that the reply of the Legislature will receive the overwhelming support of the people of Manitoba, and will meet the expectations of our sympathizers and friends in Ontario and the other provinces, who will not be slow to contrast its studious moderation with the incendiary and arrogant character of the utterances of the Archbishop of St.Boniface and of such Quebec politicians as the Hon.Mr.Ouimet.Let the Archbishop and his Quebec followers know, once for all, that while Manitoba, if in any matter in connection with this question it has done an injustice, ir capable itself of remedying that injustice, yet it will strenuously insist upon being let alone, and is determined that in any department of the government of this free and progressive province eccleslastical control will not be tolerated.\u201d MURDER OR SUICIDE ?& WOMAN FOUND WITH HER THROAT CUT.No Trace of any Weapon\u2014No Distard\u201d

WASTE OF MONEY.LIBFRALS ATTACK THE PROHIBITION COMMISSION'S EXPENSES.DEBATE ON THE GRANT OF $235,000 TO LADY THOMPSON.* Norman Muarrany\u2019s Allexed Bad Books the Subject of Dchate in ihe Senate \u2014Seuator Bellerose Speaks.(Special to the Herald.) Ottawa, June 13\u2014In their desire to tight shy of such unwelcome subjects as the Curran Bridge scandal, the Government were to-day guilty of characteris- Mr.Laurier gave notice last night that Mr.Davies intended to refer to the bridge aifair this af- When the time came, the House, instead of going into supply, &l- Inougn Ar.Foster yesteraay expressed his great anxiely Lo get througn the supplementary estimates, procecued Lo consider a oill which might very well have ætood over.This provoked a long discussion, as everyone expected, and took up the time till 6 o'clock.When the chair was taken at 8.35 by \u2018Deputy Speaker Bergeron, although the official fiction is still maintalined that it is taken at 7.30, Mr.Laurier made the brief announcement that, owing to the lateness of the hour and the full discussion which the subject required, it would be adjourned till a future occasion.In view of the manner in which the courtesy of the Opposition was received, and the futility or trusting to any shreds of honor or sincerity which might remain among the Cabinet, the question will be raised next time without notice.It is only of late years that this practice of glving notice to enable Ministers to be prepared has been adopted, and the Government has repeatedly taken advantage of the courtesy to block intended \u201ccriticism from the other side.But, if the Tory tactics saved them for \u201ca time from a well deserved slashing on this subject, it did mot avail to prevent a sharp onslaught upon the extravagance in connection with the Prohibition Commission, appointed by the Government to put off the evil day when it should be called upon to express a policy regarding a public question upon which they have no policy.The debate came up on the vote of $8,000 as a further amount to fmeet the expenses of the commission, and was one of the brightest and most mirthful of the session, despite the serious gide to it.' Sir Richard Cartwright sald the reckless expenditure of $90,000, at which figure the Finance Minister placed it, looked ke a job and all for no reason but to save the Government from an une pleasant decision and an unpleasant vote.Mr.Foster gave the personal payments as follows: Sir Joseph Hickson, $2,100; Mr.Clarke, $2,400; Mr.Gigault, $2,370; Rev.Dr.McLeod, $6,918; Judge Macdonald, $3,918; P.Monahan, secretary, $10,068.Thz very large payment to-Dr.Mc Leod aroused Sir Richard\u2019s suspicicns, and ha explained that being paid at the rate of $10 à day that the commissioner had earned that and much more.« Mr.Flint regretted that the dommisr sion had cost so much when one-tenth of the sum would have been enough to produce a report which some one would read.He laughed at the idea of any: one reading either the voluminous evidence or the reports.Mr.Davies referred to the time when the leader tof the House was in favoir of legislation no matter what the people thought.\u2018The Opposition had been ready with their policy for a long time and had declared that public opinion had governed.When that opinion had been expressed by a plebiscite they would be ready to act on that opinion.Mr.Foster\u2014* It i{s not definite.\u201d Mr.Davies\u2014\"It is a definite policy.The policy of the other side is to send five men around the country.Has the Government the pluck to submit the matter to the peopele and abide by their decision ?The people are quite capable of forming an opinion themselves, and th eopinin of A\u2018 or B will not be altered by that of C or D.We must enter our solemn protest against the reckless expenditure on the commission.\u201d Mr.Foster\u2014\" We must bear it.\u201d Mr.: Davies\u2014\" Yes ; -we have got to bear it like many other ills your Government has Imposed upon the pzople.\u201d Mr.Fraser humorously discussed the bulky nature of the report, and advised a digest of the evidence into one volume.= He pointed out how useless the whole thing was.If the report was to be based on the evidence then it only depended on the nature and amount of that particular evidence heard, while it the individual opinions of the commissioners were to rorm it, they could have been asked for their opinions without this cost.The proper course was to submit the question to the p:ople.Dr.Landerkin made one of his characteristic speeches, which are just as hardheaded and sensible as they are humorous.He asked when was Canada to have responsile government, instead of a Government that unloaded its responsibilities on a Royal Commission.Sir Hibbert Tupper\u2014* Are you referring to the Ontario Government ?* Dr.Landerkin\u2014* I am referring to a Government that is not fit for the Ontario Government to wipe its shoes upon.(Laughter.) I am referring to the so-called Government of this country.\u201d The difference between the estimate of $120,000 made by Sir John Thompson last year, and the statement of Mr.Foster that the commission has cost only $30,000 was pointed out.\u201cHas there been a shrinkage in values ?* asked Dr.Landerkin, \u201cor is part of the expense being suppressed ?\u201d\u2019 Arising out of some questions as tothe translation of the report, Mr.Foster stated his Ignorance of any contract with Mr.Montpetit, entered into by Lieutenant-Governor Chapleau when Secretary of State, to do all the translation for $27,000.Mr.Dickey said he had considered the claim and was satisfied there was no contract.In any case Mr.Foster said, the translation of the report and part of the evidence would be completed.Sir Richard Cartwright demanded an explanation of the discrepancy between the estimate of the late Premier and the Financial Minister.The former was most likely correct.Mr.Foster\u2014\u201cThis closes the account for the present.The House is not asked to vote further money.\u201d Sir Richard\u2014\u2018\u2019That is no answer.For all we know, there may be some more amounts of $6,000 to other cousins.I believe this Mr.McLeod has put in a further claim.Is that so?\u201d Mr.Foster, who had been getting warmer and more irritable as the de bate went on, sald: \u201cI have no note here of any further claims.\u201d This statement was met with derisive laughter.After a few minutes, he added: \u201cI find a further claim on the basis of payment for 48 Sundays while absent from home, at $10 egch.\u201d Mr.Laurier sald the action of the Finance Minister was plain evidence that the House had been misled the other \u2018unseemingly extravagance would only cost $20,000.Mr.Fraser\u2014\"] am glad to see Dr.McLeod does not ask two or three times the ordinary rate for Sundays, as in the case of the derrick at Montreal,\u201d (Laughter.) Sir James Grant made a short speech which the House seemed to think funny.This debate, he gravely declared, was an effort to discredit the Conservative party.His innocent remark that it was not by throwing cold water on the prohibition party that it was to be settled brought down the House.After à few words from Mr.Macdonald the vote passed.The speech of the hon.member was interrupted by one of the noislest scenes witnessed since the session began.Both the Speaker and Sir Donald Smith bad been giving dinners, and as the members came in they were met by cheering and applause.When Speaker White came in he was horrified at the conduct, which certainly would not have taken place if the mace had been on the table.On the further consideration of the vote of $23,000 for Sir Jonn Thompson's funeral, Sir Richard Cartwright expressed his regret at having to enter into a detailed criticism of the expenditure, but he couid not acquit the Government of gross recklessness and extravagance.There appeared to be no check or attempt to check the expenditure.Mr.Foster talked about the manner of Sir John's taking off and the expense which the Britieh Government went to\u2014 \u2018which were his arguments for the excessive amounts spent on this side.Mr.Davies criticized the vote calmly, dispassionately and soberly.While the Government was entitled to invest the interment with suitacle pomp and circumstance, there was no excuse for the and rioting which marked it.The expense which marked the funeral of Sir John Macdonald, whose long tenure of his high office justified the double funeral at Ottawa and Kingston, ought to have been about the scale of the present ane, when the vote would have been rassed in solemn silence.Mr.Fraser made the very good point that the funeral should have had reference to the simple tastes of the dead statesman and to the country.There should not have been euch an amount spent on one ide day, and on the *\u2018 trappings and the suits of woe.\u201d Dr.Macdonald and Mr.Tarte enumerated several items of expense before the vote passed.: \u2018The last vote to be considered was the proposed national subscription of $26,000 to Lady Thompson.Mr.\u2018Tarte would have been glad t6 agree to the vote if Lady Thonpson had not been worth $50.000.Mr.Laurier supported the resolution.It mighl be sald that such grants were not to ba viewed with favar and that they might constffute precedents.Although it was unfortunate Sir John had not beer able to make provision for his family he could not bear the thought that the family of a man who gave his best years to his country should be left destitute.Sir Richard Cartwright also supported the vote.Touching on the objections made to the grant, he reminded the hon.members that the Premier could save little from his salary, and that, owing to the state of.his health for years before his death, hr, was unable to effect further ite insurance.; Mesers.Macdonald (Huron), Martin, Fraser and McMillan spoke against the grant.\u2018When the yeas and nays were called, Sir Richard, Messrs.Laurier, Edgar, Casey, Devlin, Scriver and Gillmor voted with the Government.In addition to those who spoke, Mr.Davies voted against the grant, while several members abstained from voting.\u2018 There was a long amd diverse debate on the second reading of Mr.Costigan's bill to extend by two years the time given to lumber mills to dispose of sawdust and refuse.The bill also gives the Minister of Marine and Fisheries the discretion of declaring what mills shall be exempt from the provisions of last year's \u2018Act.Mr.Davies objected to this power being given.Sir James Grant, as & medical man, gave it as his opinion that sawdust in the rivers was not deleterious to either fish or human lifey Indeed, he thought, the population of the Ottawa valley had been benefited by it.The bill passed through committee and received its third reading.Mr.McCarthy had a series of questions on the order paper tw-day regarding Premier Greenway\u2019s Interview with the Governoredtenefral.Mr.Foster said, tn reply, nothing which could be cailed negotiations in the proper acceptation of the word took place recently between the Governor- General and Messrs.Greenway and Sifton; etc, but he has had some coms munication with these gentlemen at Ottawa.In these negotiations the Governor)-General was not acting on the advice of the Privy Council (Mr.Laurier and other Liberal leaders\u2014Hear, hear).Dr.Landerkin\u2014\"Has the Governor: General dismissed his advisers ?\u201d Mr Ryder enquired about the purchase of property for a wharf at Magog.Mr.Ouimet replied that the Public Works Department was taking steps through the Department of Justice to purchase the existing wharf from Messre.Smith, the owners, at a \u2018cost of $2,600.Another $200 will be required to put the property into perfect condition.Four Canadian statesmen have had a public funeral since Confederation.On that of Thomas d'Arcy McGee $295 wag spent.Sir George Cartier's cost $10,000 and Sir John Macdonald's $6,900, so Mr.Ouimet told Mr.Bruneau.The House adjourned at 1.05 a.m.IN THE SENATE.Senator Bellerose in the Senate to-day wanted to know if the Government intended to amend the customs tariff so a8 to prohibit the importation of such immoral books as those seized in Montreal last year under the title of \u2018 Fruits of the Confessional,\u201d and afterwards released by order of the Controller of Customs; also, if it is the intention of the Government to prosecute Norman Murray, & bookseller, of Montreal, who exposed those books for sale, under the clause in the Criminal Code making 1t an indictable offence to swell or exhibit for sale obscene or immoral literature.Speaking to his question, Senator Bellerose took exception to the principle laid down by the Premier when the question was under discussion in the Senate à few days ago, that the Controller of Customs had merely done his duty in releasing the books from seizure after obtaining tegal advice to the effect that he seizure had been illegally made.He argued that the importation of such books was calculated to demoralize the community, and that the intention of Par- llament in passing the clause in the tariff prohibiting the tmportation of immoral literature was to prevent just what these books were doing.He thought it was clearly the duty of the Government to have retained the books when seized (Continued on Page Two.)

London, Ont, June 13.\u2014 pe General \u2018Assembly spent the iirst part of the forenoon of its second day in exclusively religious exercises.A number of committees were appointed, and the court had begun to geal with the reception of ministers when the subject was interfered with by the hour of.adjournment and thrown over to another day.\u2019 The colieges of the church from east to west were considered during the afternoon session.Messrs.Pollock and Murray dealt with the Halifax College ; Rev.K.McLennan and Dr.Thompson with Morin College, Quebec ; Dr.\u2018Warden, George Hay and Peter Wright with Montreal College; Principal Grant, Dr.Mc- Tavish, John Cameron and Dr.Milligan with Queen's; Principal Caven and Dr.Milligan with Knox College, and Messrs.McDonnell, Sedgwick and A.K.Smith with Manitoba College.The following are items of interest [from the different colleges: MONTREAL PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE.It was foreseen early in the year that {there was likely to be a considerable shortage in the ordinary fund of the college, and special efforts were made with a view to.increased contributions from the congregations of the church, as well as from individual} friends of the college.The board regret to report that these efforts have not been successful, the revenue of the year falling short of the ex-, penditure by $1,579.77.The total receipts of the year for ordinary revenue are $1,393 less than those of the preceding year.The shrinkage is found in the three principal sources of revenue, wiz.Elegetical chair subscriptions, congregational contributions, and interest on investments; and is to be accounted for to some extent by the prevailing business depression, and the gradual tendency to \u2018the lowering of the rate of interest on mortgage securities, The indebtedness of $26,200, of many years standing, on the .college property is a Beri- ous - impediment.The sum is temporarily borrowed from the endowment fund, and reduces the interest available for ordinary revemue by about $1,500 annually.While the expenditure for the past two years is somewhat above the average, consequent upon exceptionally heavy repairs, there is always a certain amount annually required for the proper maintenance ot large public buildings, so that if the college is to be maintained as at present, there should be an annual revenue of $17,- OCC, which is nearly $2,00v In excess of the revenue for the past year from ordinary sourœs.Only 138 congregations sent contributions last year.lt is earnestly hoped \u2018that the number may Ie fargely increased in future.Were all the the congregations of th: church in Ontario and Quebec to contribute there would De no difficulty in obtaining the revenue required for the efficient maintenance of the college.The attendance of students last session was eighty-two.Of this num- her, eleven graduated in April.Two of these are engaged in the work of French evangelization, in fields where both French and English are required, Two others have accepted appointments in the Northwest; another is an applicant for foreign mission work, and nearly all of the rest are already under call by congregations, or under appointment in the home mission field of the church.The Brantford Ladies\u2019 College was heard from, and the work done there commended to the interest of the Church.Dr.Gregg resigned his position as professor of Knox College, on account of age, and for à similar reason Dr.Reid, the senior clerk, asked for some arrangement by which he would be relieved of & portion of his work.Dr.Waters, of New Jersey, was welcomed to the Assembly platform.Rev.Mr.McMullen was substituted for Dr.MeVicar* as convener of the Judicial Committee, and the Assembly closed the afternoon session at 5.30.HALIFAX COLLEGE.The Board of the Presbyterian College, Halifax, requests the ratification by the Assembly of the appointment of Rev.D.M.Gordon, B.D., to the chair of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, and trusts that Rev.R.A.Falconer, BD.x will be unanimously continued in the chair of New Testament Exegesis.Arrangements have been completed by the board for holding a summer School of Theology from July 16 to 26.The financial condition continues to be fairly satisfactory, although the balance on hand has been reduced from $444 to $97.The attendance has been in excess of any previous year, the number in all being 48, of which eight were of the graduat- Ing class.The library has been improved.T MORIN COLLEGE, QUEBEC.The governors of Morin College report: that their financial position has been improved by the award of $120,000 from the Ross estate.Twenty thousand dollars of this sum has been securely invested; the balance awaits investment.The entire earnings from this source will go towards defraylng current expenditure.The present resources are expectd to yield $7,500, but that will be scarcely adequate to the requirements of two distinct faculties, according to the intention of the founder.Provisional arrangements have been made by the board for conducting the art classes on an enlarged basis, and also for doing work in the faculty of theology.The governors are persuaded that the very existence of such an institution in a Roman Catholic centre like Quebec is of much value to the Protestant cause generally, and that the college is worthy of the sympathy, the prayers and the material support of the Church at large.QUEEN\u2019S UNIVERSITY.The trustees of Queen\u2019s University and College report an attendance of 533 against 456 the previous year.There is a small balance on the right side in the accounts of the year, though the accumulated deficit from former years is large.A decrease in the receipts from the General Assembly College fund has to be noted.A different result was expected, as an appeal had been made for ald to increase the staff of the theological faculty, which increase is an imperative necessity.KNOX COLLEGE, TORONTO.The Board of Management of Knox College reports with gratification that it has had the largest graduating class in its history.Twenty-eight diplomas were granted to students, who then entered on their work as ministers or missiongries.The total attendance was 119.The board again urges the necessity of appointing & permanent professor for the pre- river nm Tew SUMMEr eeceseses weight Night : Shirts With Colored Trimmings, all sizes up to 18-inch Collar.eeee75¢C each, 3 for $2.00eeee R.J.TOOKE o 3 o o : us 9 177 ST.JAMES STREET.RBIS k AAAI 5 * & How would you like to leave an estate guaranteeing 5 per cent.on the principal sum tor say 20 years to your wife or family ?improved Annuity Policy and see how reasonably this can be secured.Low Examine our new the best skill.All at rates.The TRAVELERS INN, (0.FRANK.PARKING, Shel de.WHAT DOES \u2018RIGHTNESS\u2019 COST ?__\u2014 In tailoring it costs the price of the best goods, the best workmen, the best sewers, the best trimmers and prices only a tiny bit above the cheap John tailors.Try us.J.J.MILLOY, Ladies\u2019 and Gentlemen\u2019s Tailor, 2415 ST.CATHERINE ST.ENORMOUSLY THE LARGEST, SALE.OF.ANY GIGAR.IN.CANADA CAUTION.THe Worns Are.ON THE (veccow) RIBBON FOR'SALEBYALUDEATERS WHO ARE SATISFIED WITH AREASONABLE PROFIT À \u2018RIBBON iE TRADE MARK Go A Delicious a Luncheon.== |S SERVED DAILY = \u2014AT THE\u2014 WH STEWART.A Woman\u2019s Choice mm is a criterion.We have Pleased the highest shoe taste in our special line of fine Tan Boots for ladies, made of very fine Russian Tan, whole foxed;

Beauharnois, Que., June 12, \u2014Shortis, the Valleyfield murderer, will have to Stand his trial in the district in which his crime was committed.Such is the effect of the judgment rendered here to-day by Hon.Mr.Justice Belanger on the petition presented on behalf of the accused asking for a change of) venue.His Honor rejected the petition, holding that the petitioner had failed to show cause for taking the case out of the ordinary course of procedure; that there were no grounds for the allegation that Shortis could not secure a fair trial in the District of Beauharnois, and that there was no widespread or deep-seated prejudice against Shortis, such as would prevent a jury selected from among the yeomen of the District of Beauharnois from doing even-handed justice to the prisoner, as well as to the Crown.And further, the judge held that the allegations of prejudice were fully rebutted by the affidavits filed by the Crown and stated that in the opinion of many responsible residents of the district there was nothing to prevent Shortis from receiving justice at the hands of the Court of the District of Beauharnois.The prisoner will therefore be brought back here for trial before Judge Belanger.This judicial district comprises the three counties of Beauharnois, Chateau- guay and Huntingdon, and the chef-lieu is the town of Beauharnois.It is only fifteen miles distant from Valleyfield, the scene of the crime, and where all the principal witnesses reside.The time of holding the trial has not yet been fixed, but it is not likely to come off before the autumn.: CHRISTIAN WOMEN.Reports at Yesterday\u2019s Quarterly Meets ing were Very Satisfactory.The quarterly meeting of the Young Women\u2019s Christian Association was held yesterday In the hall of the association, No.101 Metcalie Street.Mrs J.F.Stevenson, the president, occupied the chair and a large number cf members and friends were present.The reports, which were ful! of interest, briefly reviewed thz work during the last three months The general secretary\u2019s report gave a detailed account of the increase in membership and progress of the association, The admission to classes» for the spring term numbered 69.The annual exhibition cf class work was held Thursdjy, day 2nd, and the closing sucial and reunion of the class and associate members way held the same eveniny, The Young Wonen's Christian Association Circle of the King\u2019s Daughters has held its meetings regularly on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month, On April 4, the day of the annual meeting, a sale of.Easter novelties and fancy articles was held, which resulted in a net gain of more than $75.Of this amount $35 has been given to the Association Library, the membership fees of the circle have beesr paid, 913 has been given to the Good Wilt Club, for the purpose of sending two girls for two weeks each to the Hcliday House, at Berthier, and $10 in subscriptions for magazines, with which to open a reading room in the new building.Thirty-two applications for employment, other than domestic service, have been received, and twenty-four reported shemselves supplied.The work of the Visitiny Committee has beer.continued throughout the quarter, tle average number of visits by the missionary has been ilhirty-five per week.The Sunday afternoon service at the women's Jail has been regularly held.There have been thirty-six admissions to the Association Home.During the quarter two thousand eight hundred and twenty have been received at the day nursery or creche, this number includes fifty-sevan individual children.At the Working Girls\u2019 Home there have bzen eighty-two transient and three permanent boarders.Mrs.J.F.Steven.gon pave a very interesting account of the second anpual meeting of the Nation.a Council of Women held in Toronto.BUSINESS CHANCES.One Cent n Word.FOR SALE.Once Cent a Word.OR SALE\u2014A FINE HOTEL AND fashionable boarding-house at Windsor, Oni; may be managed together or separately, and will be sold accordingly.For particulars address 13B, Herald.cd AINTING DONE BY THE DAY OR Job cheap, by a first-class painter.Aprly W.J.Maddie, 48 Windsor St.143 OR SALE \u2014 IN A THRIVING NOVA Scotian town, a first-class dry goods, ready-made clothing and gents\u2019 furnishing business; store fitted with electric light, electric cash system, steam heating and ell the latest improvements; business to be sold on account of death of proprietor; store situated in best rart of the town.For particulars apply Box 81D, Herald.ed OR SALE - FINE BOOT AND SHOE business; well situated in the city ot Ottawa; stock about $3,000; good reasons for sclling, Address Box 82D, Herald.ed JIRST-CL ASS SALOON IN DETROIT, Mich.; for man with capital of ahout 13,000; owner engaged in other business.26B, Herald ed WA)TEP- BOARD IN THE COUNTRY for a few weeks, by a lady.in exchange for lessons in painting.)

\u2014ÉL_ = a, 4 MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1895.The Hlontreal Herald Founded 1808.MONTREAL, JUNE 14 \u2014 DODGING THE ISSUE.* T as not for the purpose of raising & discussion upon an old and unpleasant subject that the Herald dissented trom the extravaganza of eulogium spent upyn Sir John Macdonald redivivus.It was merely to protest against the pcmsible understanding that the Liberal party ware in any way to accept Sir John Macdonald's record as being in the light of time, and truth end soberness, upon the whole disinterested, patriotic, fair, magnanimous, and altogether defensible.The Gazette argues that it is neither sonsistent nor wise on the part of the ¥ new crop of critics\u201d to deny Sir John Macdonald's \u201ctitle to greatness,\u2019 because » the fact that he met and worsted in \u2018he political arena all the leading Liberals of his time, including Brown, Mackenzie, Blake, Laurier, Cartwright and pll the rest.As far as we have discovered, * the new crop of critics\u201d have not denled Sir John Macdonaid\u2019's title to greatness.For our own part, we expressly admitted that he had achieved greatness.We pay now that he had extraordinary men~ tai abilities; although it ought not to Ye necessary to go out of the way to jay a thing that goes without saying.The Gazette has made this groundless diversion clearly because it could nat offer any more relevant answer to the point ralsed by \u201cthe new crop of cri tics.\u201d It is atoo common, because de- Kidedly vulgar, practice to answer one Jssue by raising and putting forward Ruite another and a false issue.Thosc who are gullty of indulging the practice, DÊ course, put themselves in a bad light before those who have had the opportunity of seeing both sides as actually presented.But they probably find gratifying compensation in chuckling to themselves how they got ahead with the few whose sources of information were limited to the light shed by the Gazette's dark lantern.If the Gazette's great prototype really was the embodiment of greatness to the extent alleged, how was it that an intellectual and moral power so colosr sal had always to rely for success upon ÿhe more viclous of human devices?How was it that the people's eat tribune who \u2018met the stupen- Fe mental giants\u201d of the Liberal arty * and worsted them\u201d had to supe plement his powers with those other potent influences that were represented by the Pacific scandal fund, the Mc- GreevyrLangevin funds, the red yarlor levies, the cowardly gerry- nander and the thousand and one une Jue and immoral influences that notori- usly hâve been the main rellance of s political existence.But we find now, on the authaæity pf the Gazette, that it was all trickery; and that he \u2018taught his successors the trick.\u201d The author and the teacher of, v trick is not incorrectly called a trick~ ster.It is a melancholy reflection, and that is atout the substance of what \u201cthe new crop of critics\u201d have been saying, that, from the Gazette's pres lses, it seems to have cost not only the labors and life time of a powerful in- Gividuality but all the tricks into which the cards could be varied to keep the Grits out of power.In that case it is rather hard to determine whether the great achlevements were due to the powerful individuality or to the pecus lUar devices; but it seems now well con- iceeded that ihbe exigencies of the situation were such that they had to stand together.That is quite in accordance with what we have thought all along.THE SEASON OF FATALITIES.Yi -\u2014 .The yearly procession of drowning accidents has begun auspicfousiy, and the end of the present season will see, in wnd about Montreal, as elsewhere throughout the world, a heavy record of deaths on this score.Mankind at large has no more senseless habit than its persistent neglect to impart and accept instruction in the most simple prac- dice of swimming.Death by drowning, except in the case of those prodigious tatastrophes which the race suffer for Its sins, and may not foresee, usually Involves a heedless sacrifice.There is usually no sufficient reason why it ghould occur.The matter is one in which the community could hardly interfere, directly at least.It possibly would be found impossible to enforce a law requiring every man, Woman and child to produce a certificate of natatory fitness before going near the water.But the community might go so far as to provide places where swimming should be taught and learned and practised.Most of us who are able to swim acquired at least the rudiments of our proficiency at a tender age in the sea itself, or in some one or other of the myriad \u201cswimming holes,\u201d which a few years ago could be found in the inland waters of the country.The expansion of settlement has curtailed these opportunities.In and ebout the cities the bathing places of the past have disappeared, for the masses of the people at least, and neck-to-knee ordinances have robbed swimming of those elements of high enthusiasm which com~ monly impel the youngster to learn to swim.In and about Montreal there is an especial shortage in chances in this regard.The children of the poorer classes, which take no summer vacation, and may mot even effect the compromise of sum- Mer residence in the water front suburbs, have no chance at all.To this extent at least the community might step in; it might find suitable bathing places, and provide instruction at a cost which need not be great.A nearer duty lies upon parents of tthe classes known as wealthy or well-to-do.{Whether they pass the heated season at the water side or \u2018whether they avali themselves of the very commodious and well tended public swimming baths in the clty\u2014the Laurentian baths, for instance ~they should see that their children should learn to swim.Lk does not take long.Swimming, once learned, 1s never forgotten ; the motions ere Instinctive.There is no reason why any man, woman or SE Thea A.eo mn child, of a fit ege and of pound tody, should drown, simply because he or she has fallen into deep water.This taking of what is no more than a tlinple precaution would within *he next three months ward off from many & stricken family in this city and elsewhere the poignant anguish of griet for the untimely taking off of a loved one.A POLICE COMMISSION.\u2014 It is not probable that the delay In the presentation of the findings of the committee appointed by the City Coun- ; cil to enquire into the workings of the police department is at all to be attrl- buted to any difficulty which the unabashed remnant of the committee may have had in making up its mind.Since that portion of the committee which took the investigation serfously withdrew and gave the remnant over to its own \u2018devices, the matter has not been pressing.No one for a moment imagined that any good would come of it; that any lasting improvement in the methods upon which the force has been handled would be made; or any substantial increase in its effectiveness, from the chief down to the rawest recruit.It was generally expected that the detective department, which does not dig with the right foot so to say, would be convicted on the evidence which had been graclously admitted in its case.No one expected that the remnant would proceed to the admission of evidence as to the conduct #t the affairs of the force at large, or to the formulation of suggestions for its improvement.Popular expectation ifs about to be disappointed in one regard at least, if reliance may be placed upon the meagre forecast which the remnant has authorized the City Hall reporters to make.The detective department is held to be all wrong, of course.The detectives are all to go, and the bureau is to be reorganized, The surprise comes in the rumored proposal that the detective bureau be submitted to the control of & commission.That the remnant should have paid to public opinion a compliment so great as 13 this acknowledgment of the efficacy of the cominission, as a means to the proper handling of a force of police, is calculated to exclte the wonder of all who have observed the general tenor of the policy which the members of the remnant have adopted in other matters before the City Councils As applied, Bay In Ontario, the com mission system has worked for the general efficiency of police forces.Toronto has a force which, when the limitations necessarily imposed upon a comparatively small city are considered, is perhaps the best force on the continent.It owes its general efficiency largely to the fact that the consideration of the uses of patronage plays no part in the appointment of members of the force or their promotion in the force.The Mayor, the Police Magistrate and the County Judge compose a commission which is at once responsible to the p:ople, and set above the possibllity of ill-considered popular decision.No fault, then, can be found with the general suggestion that the commission system be applied to the governance of the detective department.The suggestion fails first because it does not in- voive a change in the management of the police force at large, and secondly, because the chief of policz is named as one of the commissioners.What imperfections are to be found in the force at present are due largely to aldermanic in- eistence upon a proportional allotment of patronage.The force will never attain to the highest standard of efficiency until the last possibility for aldermanic interference has been removed.As to the second point, the Chief of Police\u2014no reference is made to the in- cumbent\u2014is in & more intimate sense the servant oË the p:opie- than is the newest officer in the force.It is preposterous that & man upon whom devolves the entire responsibility for the conduct of the force in action, as we might say, should be called to a place of authority in those councils at which the relations of the force to the municipal executive are defined and established.The commission system should be ape plied to the whole force.The presence of the Police Magistrates in the commission is advisable, because they, perhaps, more than any other officers of the law, are apt to be impartial judges as to the requirements of the service.But the Chief of Police should not fe empowered to rit at the same court with the representatives of the people whose livery he wears.At such a vost it might te almost better that the coms mission idea be abandoned altogether.The City Council of Quebec met the other evening and passed the 1,026th res port of the Riad Committee, with cer tain amendments.According to a Que~ bec paper \u201cClause 20 was amended by striking out the words on their parents\u2019 knees and replacing them by the words up to eleven years of age.\u201d Not knowing thz full text of clause 20, comment may be lllladvised, but it would seem that \u201cacross their parents\u2019 knees might be left fn and the words * up to cleven years of age\u2019 retained also.The citizens of Marquette and other cities of Michigan have caught the monument fever and are about td erect a statue at St.Ignace to commemorate the founding of the first white settlement on the peninsula by Father Marquette, the French expiorer and missionary, in 1670.The Jesuit priest more than two hundred years ago recognized the beauties and commercial advantages of the spot, and when he landed with a tody of French soldiers he established a Jesuit mission and college, as well as a military station and trading post.Marquette also founded many places which have since grown into thriving cities, and at his death the remains were interred first on the shores of Lake Michigan and later were brought to St.Ignace.Owing to the efforts of Father Jacker, priest at St.Ignace thirty years ago, the remains were located and a modest marble monument erected over the grave.Nine or ten years ago the business men of St.Ignace concluded that the monument was too insignificant for the greatness of the man whose tones were beneath it, and they formed 2 memorial association to meke preparations for a great historic celebration.Nothing definite Was done, however, until lately, when the project was revived and another Association formed.The result of this re-awakening of interest is that arrangements are being made by the association for imposing memorial exercises to be held August 6 next.Prominent men from all over the state will be asked to talk.Letters of invitation to speak have been sent to all the Michigan congressmen, Gov.Rich and other prominent public men.Letters of acceptance have already been received | from Congressman Weadock, of Bay City, who will talk on the subject of \u201cMarquette the Explorer.\u201d John Q.Adams, of Negaunece, has also agreed to speak, and encouraging letters have Been received from ex-Postmaster-General Don M.Dickinson.The indications are that the affair will be a success, and will result in bringing about the object sought.° = One provision of Mr.Charlton\u2019s Sunday Observance \u2018B:ll will likely be incorporated into the criminal code.The Minister of Justice will esk Parliament to adopt an amendment to the code declaring that the publisher, proprietor, or manager of any newspaper, who publishes or issues Or prepares for publication, or issues any copy or number of such newspaper for sale or distribution on the Lord's Day, or with the intent {hat such copy or number shall be gold or distributed on the Lord's Day, shall be liable to a fine mot exceeding $50 end costs for the first offence, or $100 and costs for each subsequent offence, and in default of payment to one month's imprisonment.Any person who sells or distributes any newspaper on the Lord\u2019s'Day shall be liable to the same penalty, but this is not to apply to the distribution of newspapers by postmasters, or the distribution of religious papers in churches, Sunday Schools, or religious meetings.The Government's plan for increasing the post office revenue by raising the trate for city letters from one cent to two has resulted in many large city houses delivering their own letters.Tha Canad- lan Grocer, in referring to this matter, says: \u201cPrivate companies will deliver letters in any part of the leading cities at 50 to 80 cents a hundred, and they make money at it.Business men ask the Government, which should do it very much cheaper, to make the rate $1 per hundred, and they answer they would lose money.If the present Postmaster- General cannot pay expenses with a rate 25 per cent.higher than a private company makes money on.we should get a man who can.\u201d \"\u20ac Considering the manner in which the Hamilton Spectator supports the Conservative party through thick and thin its pleadings do not seem to have much weight with the Ottawa Ministry.The organ says: \u201cThose who have read the Spectator regularly for a couple af years know that this paper has asked the Government to put a stop to the stealing which disgraced all concerned in the Curran bridge job.The Government, by way of putting a stop to such stealing, applied to a French magistrate of Montreal, and the disgraceful result is known to all the country.\u201d Here is à comic opera plot ready made.On one of Her Majesty's ships on the Australlan station recently the captain had occasion to reprimand the surgeon for some breach of duty.The surgeon, who is supreme in his own department, got even by putting the captain on the sick list.The captain then ordered the surgeon under arrest, whereupon the latter reported that the captain was suffering from mental disease and was incapable of commanding the ship.Things were at a deadlock until the ship ran into port, and then the captain asserted his supremacy by having the surgeon court-martialled and dismissed.: The Toronto young men who were fined for playing golf on Sunday have appealed against the sentence.It may be some consolation to them to learn that they are by no means the first to suffer for their devotion to the game.As far back as 1651 one James Rodger and others were \u2018\u201c\u2018complained of\u2019 and publicly admonished (with fines) for playing golf on the Lord's Day.The British Solomon, James I., arranged conveniently that people might play golf on Sunday if they first went to church.Some such compromise might work well in Toronto.RNOIKE AND COMMENT.\u2018What would have happened to Hon.Joseph Martin anyway if he had persisted in

CITY PAYS TO (URE DRUNKARDS.Baltimore is Tryiug to Get Out From Under This Law.Baltimore, Md., June 10.\u2014[Special.]J\u2014 The constitutionality of the Act passed by the last Legislature providing that habitual drunkards in Baltimore City be committed to the Keeley Instutute of Maryland at the cliy's expense is to be passed upon by the United States Supreme Courts The State Court of Appeals has decided that the Act was constitutional.The ciiy contends that ijt is unconstitutional totn under the State and the Federal Censtitution.It Is urged that the Legislature has no power to compel the city of Baltimore without its consent to tax {ts citizens for the support of hatitual drunkards at in- ebrfate asylums, and that the Legislature has no more right to compel the city to impose such a tax for thé treatment of an habitual drunkard than it has to pay for the treatment of pneumonia, typhoid fever, or other dis eases.Also, that an habltual drunkard is not, per se, a subject of governmental concern or municipal treatment, es the injury inflicted by the drunkard is to himself, and not to society or the public.Under the law, to become a sub- tect for treatment, the drunkard must be & resident of the city for at least six months, and must agree voluntarily to take the treatment.BISHOP'S COLLYGE AND SCHOOL Progr mute of Closing Excrcises to be Held at Lennoxvilie.The Alma

he lingered between life and death until yesterday, when in the presence of his sorrowing family he peacefully passed away, as though sinking to a calm sleep.Mr.Ames was born in Amherst, Mass., 1822, being 73 years of age when he died.Hc came to Montreal in 1855, and £ince that time has taken much interest in the city's welfare.His career was an honorable one in the truest sense of the word; he was dn clder in the American Presbyterian Church and clerk of the session.On the toards of many benevolent institutions he did noble work end in his death suffering humanity has lost a sincere sympathizer and a practical friend.The deceased gentleman leaves a wi dow and son and daughter\u2014Mr.H.B.Ames \u2018&nd Miss Mary Ames.The funeral will take place from the residence, 51 Belmont Street, on Saturday at 2.30.THE QUEEN'S BENCH.Grand Jury Gets to Work on the St.Louis Case.The Grand Jury has at last got started on the famous St.Louis case.The Chief Justice came upon the bench in the Court of Queen's Bench yesterday at 10 am, and Hon.J.8.Hall, Q.C., representing the Minister of Justice of the Dominion, applied for the submission of the indictment against Emanuel St.Louis for obtaining money under false pretences from the Dominion Government, to the Grand Jury, as the majority} of the witnesses were present.Henry Frigon, who was arrested by High Constables Bissonette and Lambert Wednesday, was brought before the court.The other two bench warrants have not been served.Mr.Edward Kennedy, who was telegraphed for at Toronto, also appeared.The witnesses in the case were then instructed by Clerk Sicotte to go before the Grand Jury, as they, were called, Crown Prosecutor Quina stated tbat in tae case of Dr.\u2019 Phelps, Henri and Ross, indicted on tour counts for conspiracy, and Crown Prosecutor Archambault hid decided not to proceed this term.AS the prisoners were \u2018birds of pass- Age,\" he would ask that their bail be 800d and substantial, and fixed at $2,000 fach, Owing to the absence of Mr.E.Guerin, the prisoners\u2019 counsel, the ap- leation wag renewed at 2 pm.Later = Mr.Guerin got the amount reduced to 3200 each.he June term of the Court of Queen's neh, criminal side, was closed yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and the petit Juy discharged.Mr.Edward Guerin, on counsel for \u201cDr.\u201d Phelps, William \u20acnrl and Charles Ross, the three men rested by Detective Carpenter in te de last on the charge of conspiracy me fraud by running a bogus employment agency, objected to the postpone- as Croquis A to the September term, Quested.osecutor Quinn had re- ri I strenuously object,\u201d sald Mr.Gue- Th \u201cto this, as my clients have already wel kept in jail for two months, when , Mave been prepared for trial every ÿ.Ï would aek that the trial goon a mediately or that the prisoners be ane out on their personal recogniz- consi;

An apparent crisis in the relations of France, Russia and Great Britain to Tur- Key has peen Diouguu On by une Porie's recrusal Lo agree iv the relorms in Ar- menis demanded by ihe envoys of those powers.put the situation cen have but ont cncing.The more Lhe Sultan resisis, the stronger and more imper.ous w:ll be the demands made of him, and he wiil have to cume cown as graceiully as he may.What Is most to be leared is that he will play his old game of asseniing to reiorm, promising ro reform, and then letting things go on precisely as before, while he amuses himsell with the leisurely exchange of diplomatic notes.However, the envoys are guarding against that event by Insisting upon the appointment of a commissioner to supervise the execution of reforms, and the creation of à permanent committee of control at Constantinople.Why is England bound to keep her hand on the Sultan\u2019s throat till he grants the desired reforms ?What responsibility has she towards Armenia, and what grounds, in addition to the general motive of humanity, for inierfering with Turkey and taking a sure bond against a repetition of the Armenian massacres ?These are questions to which the answer is not entirely clear to many peopie.{Chey should turn for light to the pamphlet by Canon MacColl on \u201cEngland's Responsibility Towards Armenia,\u201d prepared for the meeting in St.James's Hall on May T, and just brought out in this country by the Messrs.Longman.The Canon is an old-time fighter in the Turkish controversy, and is versed in all the ins and outs of the warfare.He koasts that he is the only man in England, unless it be the Duke of Argyll, who has read all the Blue Books of \u2018Turkey from the beginning.Certainly he has an enormous store of fact and citation at command, and is a redoubtable antagonist.: What he sets out to show, and oes show by an overwhelming array of evidence, 13 the studied atrocity of Turkish rule over Armenia, and the imperative obligation resting on the signers of the Treaty of Berlin, particularly on Great Britain, to wrest from the Sultan those reforms in government which he solemnly promised to execute.The sixty-first clause of that treaty stipulates that the Porte shail carry out reforms in the \u2018provinces inhabited by Armenians, and in particular that it shall guarantee the security of the Armenians against Circas- sians and Kurds, the Sultan engaging, furthermore, that he \u201cwill periodically: make known the steps taken to this effect to the powers, who will superintend their application.\u201d Nothing of the kind has been done, and that clause has ;remained the deadest of dead letters.Now England's unique responsibility lies in this: By the treaty of San Stefano, between Turkey and Russia, effectual provision was made for reforms in Armenia.Russian troops were to remain in the country till such reforms were put in execution.But England insisted, alone of European powers, that the treaty of San Stefano must be submitted for revision to a European congress.The Berlin congress was convencd, and the effective provision for reform in Armenia, with soldiers on the spot to see it executed, was expunged, and the vague and lying promise of the Sultan substituted for it.Fifteen years have passed, and England has not raised a finger in aid of the Armenians, except the leaden finger of diplomatic remonstrance.Her Jin- go statesmen and writers have , been sounding the alarm about Russia's advance on the Armenian boundary, but have overlooked the deliberate preparation made by the Turkish Governmenb for the late Armenian massacres., Those portions of Canon MacColl\u2019s pamphlet which set forth this deliberateness, which shows that massacre and pillage and outrage are not accidents under Turkish rule, but a planned and necessary part of the system itself, make painful but thrilling reading.He masses Turkish and foreign testimony to show that the Armenians are not allowed, theoretically or practically, the rights of human beings, much less citizens.Their property, their lives, the honor of their women, must be surrendered on demand to the rufffanly officials who descend upon their luckless villages with worse than savage ferocity.When, in spite of all, they become too numerous and powerful, the old resource of Turkish statesmanship\u2014a wholesale massacre\u2014is brought into play.Canon MacColl adduces good presumptive evidence to show that the rising of Kurdish regiments in 1891 was precisely for the purpose of turning them loose on the Armenians, as was done later on.More than one Brit- {sh Consul warned his Government, three years in advance, of what was coming, but nothing was done.This Sultan was a man of the modern world, wise and humane, and the Bulgarian horrors could never come again with a man like him on the throne.But he and his Ministers have proved themselves the same cruel and treacherous savages that all their predecessors were, and Great Britain, responsible beyond any other power for the continued holding together of the un- weildly mass of corruption and crime that passés for the Turkish Government, must either stand to one side and let the whole thing fall, or see to it that English guarantees mean something more to Armenia than a general license to the Turk to glut his lust and greed and bloodthirsti- | ness.MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1895.Aitken\u2019s e Surprising how cheap we do sell some things.Listen to this: A Cotton Uudershirt for 15c.Sit down and think of that for

considerably wilh the routine matter or the assemoly.During the afternoon a trip through the Victoria Bridge was indulged in, under the guidance of M.&.Buaikiock, of the G.T.R.The officials of the G.T.R.held a train in readiness for Lhe convention, and stoppages were made in \u2018the middle of the bridge to view the gold rivet, and at each end, that the t:pproaches might be observed.On returning to the hotel the meeting assembled for their final ses- tion.A paper Was read on \"' Social and Moral Conditions of Railway Telegraphers\u201d\u2019 by R.B.Gemmell, of the lA.T.and S.F.R.R: This paper received considerable discussion as to the best plan of improving and beitering the condition of operators and railway employes generally.This was followed by à paper descriptive of * The Michigan Central System and Its Operators,\u201d by E.E.Torrey, of the Michigan Central R.R.It Was sim- Fly a description of the prorking of the telegraph department of the Michigag Central R.R.and its relation to the orera- tors in its service.A paper was read on the \u201cEvolution of the Telegraph\u201d by J.Q.Mason, of the Northern Pacific Railroad, Tacoma, Wash.This called for very little discussion, and they passed on to the reading of a paper by J.J.Bfirns, of the Denver & Rio Grande Rallroad, on \u201cWater Power In connection with Electricity «nd Elect ric Locomotives in Railroading.\u201d This was somewhat important in view of the progress in electric locomotion.The purport of the paper was on the utilization of water power and efforts being made to develop the power now going to waste in the streams along the lines of railroads.This is especially applicable to the western railroads.The exercises were concluded by the report of the Committee on the Acknowledgment of courtesies.The delegates express themselves as being very much impressed with the beauties of the metropolis, and charmed by the courtesies extended them.They left for Quebec last night, and on

Enstance, vecenuy instituted an investigation into tne merits or ithe Keeley \u2018ireauyment, as .evl- denced in tne graduaies of the Keeley Instifute, located mt Greensooro\u2019, N.C.and who live under his immediate observation.In the Deiy Record, of .date January 26, he gives the following states ment to the puulic over his own signature.He says: | \u201cThe whole number of alcoholic pa- tienis from Guiltord County that have been treated in our Greensboro Institute iis thirty-two.The hverage time that has elapsed since their treatment is three years, lacking two months.Of this number, nineteen, or sixty per cent, have remained perfectly sober since leaving the Institute.\u201cIn my judgment, this showing, though unfaiy to the Institute, as will presently appear, is yet amply sufficient to convince the most skeptical of the efficacy of whe Keeley Treatment, and to make it the duty of every drinking man to try it.If it offered the victim of the drink habit one Chance out ot tem for deliverance from so intolerd able a curse, surely to refuse fit would be folly; but, even, according to (tha gross figures given above, it offers him not one, but six chances out of ten.\u2018But the probakilities of a cure are far greater than sixty out of one hundred, as we shall now see.Of tha thipty-two patients, thirteen relapsed.Of these thirteen, twelve had taken not the full four weeks, but only a \u2018three weeks\u2019 treatment.The brief course used to be Bometimes permitted, but for more than two years it has been discarded by the Keeley authorities, experience having proved that a thorough cure cannot certainly be effected in less than four weeks.They refuse to register any man as.à patient unless he will take the complete treatment, and also place him- sell as a lodger under the daily regimen of the Institute., The above twelve fulfilled neither of these two vital and common-sense conditions of successful treatment.Subtracting these from the entije number we have twenty left, of whom nineteen, or exactly 95 per rent., are to-day industrious and sober men.\u201cIt seems to me that such .facts should command the attention not only of drinking men, but of parents, pastors and church officers.Their prayers far the reformation of the intemperate would no doubt: be more speedily an- gwered if they would persuade the back- eliling members of their families and congregations to wdopt this means of grace and rescue whigh God in His Pro- vi*lence seems to have provided.\u201d The only genutMe Keeley Institute in thi province is at 69 Osborne

COMPLAINTS.Not Enough Hose nud the Street Cars Ruu too Fast.Chief Benoit again called attention çyes- terday afternoon to the lack of a proper supply of hose, from which ihe fire de- pariment tas long been suffering.( All the eifective hose now on hana is 18,900 feet.This was not nearly enough.In Boston there was as much hose in one station as there was in jl the stations in Montreal.Ald.Costigan considered that the department Emould have at least 40,000 feet of hose.Ald, Stevenson\u2014'* How many feet of hose did you use at Lhe McDonald tire 2\u201d Chief Benoit\u2014\u2018 Between 9,000 and 10,- 000.Fully a thousand feet (were el- ther burst or lost.\u201d .Ald.Stevenson suggested that the tenders for 10,000 of new fose, which had been advertised for, shound not \u2018ve opens ed until the money to pay for it had been obtained from the Finance Committee.All that the committee hvad received as an appropriation for new hose and covers this year was $3,000.This was not enough.The cammittee concurred in the suggestion.The chief reported that a \u2018ladder was recently damaged to the extent of $156 by a street car at the corner of Fulv lum and St.Catherine Streets.He complained that many motormen raced {with the fire engines, and refused \u2018to stop al street crossings when the firemen rang their bells.\u2019 Ald.Stevenson said that steps should be taken to enforce the street railway by-law.The cars were not allowed to pass street crossings at a pace faster than four miles an hour.Yet they passed street crossings at the rate of 15 miles an hour often, and 20 miles an hour sometimes.Chief Benoit\u2014\"They pass street crossings frequently at the rate of 30 miles an hour.\u201d It was resolved to report to Council asking that the City Attorney should be instructed to proceed against the Street Railway Company for the damage, and to ask the Finance Committee for a speclal grant of $10,000 to pay for new \u2018hose.Contracts for 498 tons of egg coal and 81 tons of stove goal, the former at 35.35 and the latter at $5.50, were awarded to the following, to be equally divided between them: D.Whelan, A.L.Barlow, P.McCrory, G.W.Cameron, W.F.Torrance, J.E.Bourdon and Joseph Bourdon.Contracts for 47 cords of wood were divided between D.L.Lachapelle and W.Sleeth.\u2018Applications from several fire stations were received, asking that members of the brigade should be allowed to take part in the Fete Dieu procession of Sunday, but they were all unanimously refused.OTTAWA NOTES.(From an Occasional Correspondent.) Ottawa, June 18\u2014The National Council of Women, on the resolution, \u2018 That the N.C.où W.gr Canada do hereby record their appreciation of the efforts made by many ot the leading newspapers of the Dominion to suppress the publication of unnecessary details of crime and brutality, 8o certain to have an injurious effect on the public mind, and especially on the minds of the young, and tneir deter- minaiion to use their influence to support every endeavor to increase and maintain a high tone in the public press,\u2019 sent in by the Toronto Local Council, recom= mended that each local council appoint a committee to prevent the circulation of impure literature, At the last meetin ot Ottawa Council Mrs.F.MacDougal, Mrs.Frechette, Miss Mary Scott, Mrs.Lambert, Miss Harmon and Mrs.Gordon were appointed.It is generally thought that all the impure literature comes from the United States, but it was learned at the National meetings that there was one firm in Canada that contributed a share.The publishers get the names of all the children who attend school and send their papers to them, offering rewards to those who obtain other subscribers, and in this way children have their minds poisoned unknown to their parents.There is still considerable feeling among a few over the National Council\u2019s decision to open its meetings with silent prayer.Is it not strange that defeat cannot be taken gracefully ?Those few who are in the minority, and are really now trying to overthrow an organization in which there are thousands of women, are what is known in politics as \u2018 sore-heads,\u201d in other words, thzy have not been elected officers nor appointed to any position of distinction; some even do not belong to the council, but they might as well expect to turn the tide as to overthrow an organization which has such broad, tolerant views and high aims, and in which so many women are banded, 700,000 in the United States, besides those in Canada, Great Britain, France, Sweden, Japan, etc.For some weeks to come Sparks Street will be quite impassable, but the pleasure of seeing our principal street paved with asphalt will be so great that any temporary discomfort will be patiently endured.The contractors asked the Electric Railway Company if they would run their cars on Wellington Street, should the Council be willing, while Sparks Street was being paved, and to this the company consented, which was what was expected, for anything that is for the welfare of the city is sure to meet with their hearty cooperation.The Electric Railway Company have started work on the Experimental Farm extension, and have almost completed the Theodore Street loop line.The Rock- cliffe line, with the magnificent park at its terminus, is patronized by thousands daily, who in a few minutes can be carried from the sultry city to where they can sniff the cool, fresh, country breezes.There is ncthing perfect, so the saying goes, and the one fault many find is that the electric cars do not run until a later hour at night.For example, the last Bank Street car leaves the post-office, the centre of the city, at 10.30, and as our city is growing it takes some time to come, say, from the eastern end, to be at the post-office at that early hour, and thus a great inconvenience is experienced.Should the company run half-hour cars after that time, or make some arrangemant wherewith there may be later cars, it would be welcomed by many of the citi- ZENS.The results of the annual Provincial Ari School examinations have just been made known, and Ottawa may be proud of the part she has taken, for W.Noffke won the silver medal and certificate for architectural drawings; Marion Living, the bronze medwd for painting from lire; Ernest Fosberry, the bronze medal for drawing from life, and, besides ihese, the Art School took 90 certificates, the Collegiate Institute 55, the Model School 65, St.Patrick's Literary Association 2.The congregation of the Dominion Methodist Church are in deep trouble over their future pastor, and to kom: to some drfi-aite acticn the Quarterly Board of the church met on Tuesday for the special purpose of considering the action of the conference in disregarding their request that the Rev.Mr.Sparling, of Easton's Corners, shauld be their next pastor.Lafontaine says: \u2018It is difficult for a woman to keep a secret, and I know more than one man who is & woman,\" and there really seems to be some truth in it, for in spite of each member of the board being pledged to secrecy, the facts leaked out that the board had appointed a committee to wait on the chairman of the conference and the chajrman of the Ottawa district, and the district in which the Rev.Mr.Spariing is now stationed, to make one last appeal to have the request of the Dominion Church granted, According to the rules simply don\u2019t take it.a a Don\u2019t Touch It!
