in Nothing \u2014Mr.Ouimet Hopes to Settle the Matter\u2014Jacques Cartier Conservatives Badly Muddled.The result of yesterday's endeavors on the part of Premier Bowell, Sir Adolphe Caron, Hon.J.A.Oulmet and others to settle the party's difficulty in Jacques Cartier County only resulted in leaving things more disastrously muddled than ever.At 4.15 yesterday afternoon Sir Mackenzie and Sir Adolphe left for Ottawa by the Canada Atlantic tain, and there remained behind bout a score of angry \u2018Tories shut up in roomy 126 of the Windsor Hotel, listening to what Hon.J.A.Ouimet called \u201creason.\u201d Immediately after the funeral of the later Senator Murphy the Premier and a few! of fis leutenants met at the post office and the subject of the Jacques Cartier County election and the lack of & Ccnservative candidate for the constituency was introduced and most thoroughly discussed.Mhe resuit was that it was decided what no jetted man could be sacriticed than Mr.J.A.Descarriesg M.P.P.Accordingiy that gentieman was agair approached and asked to become a candidaie.As \u2018petore, he held out for the unanimous support of the party and their oest ILinanctai aid.The former could not be uccorded, ror many thought and think still that Mr.L.J.Forget might be jnauced to run, and he is ra- vored by those people who disiike Mr.Descarries., À &enatorship 1g said to be among the things asked ror by the latter gentle man, if fe is defeated, and this the Government Is adverse to promising.Conse- quentiy there was a long interview by the most prominent pariy ieaders with Mr.Descarries in the St.Lawrence \u2018Hall, while Sir Mackenzie waited patiently up- Btairs for the resuit.No agreement was arrived at, however, and Su Mackenzie and Sir Adolphe went away.to the Windsor for luncheon, « At; 3.30 another meeting took place in room, 126 mt the Windsor, when, besides Mr.Descarries, several local party leaders\\and a de egation of French-speaking \u2018Tories fro: jues Cartier County were present.emier talked it over, and Sint Adolphe .ked it over, and Hon.Mr.Oulmet did \u2018what little hd could to bring affairs to some kind of a settlement, but Mr.Descarries still held out, and finally Sin Mackenzie signified his intention of washing\u2019 his hands 6f the whole thing by deliberately strapping his silk hat into & box and meking other preparations for leaving.Sir Adolphe nonchalantly lighted a cigarette and smiled at Mr.Ouimet, who frowned and retired into the waiting: room, where sat the delegation trom Jacques Qartier.\u201cIs it settled about Mr.Forget?\u201d asked some one.\u201cNo, it fen*t,\u201d replied the Minister of Public \u2018Works, rather more emphatically than was absolutely necessary.Then, after some consideration, he said in suavest tones: \u2018Gentlemen, you all know there has been a good deal of trouble about this thing, and In reference to Mr.Descarries\u2019 nomination I may say he Is unwilling to leave the Legislature now when it would entail an election for that House.Mr.Taillon has sdid that he was badly \u201clicked\u201d in the last bve-election, and he is unwilling to run the chance of another defeat.Mr.Descarries does, therefore, not consider ft fair on his part ta leave Mr.Taillon, and we must look for another candidate.I trust that we shall be able to settle the matter In a few days.Mr.Girouard\u2019s name has been mentioned, as well as that of Mr.Monk and others, and I hope that we may be able soon to decide on a candidate.\" These were Mr.Oulmet's sentiments, and the Herald reporter, who was ac- eidentally present, jotted them down.They are quite in accord with the announcement of some days ago that Hon.Taillon would by every means in power try to prevent another vacancy in his Government.Hon.Mr.Oulmet then addressed the meeting in French, and it was decided to hold a meeting at St.Laurent on Wednesday (to-morrow), when an endeavor will be made to select a candidate.\u2018This did not finish the discussion, however.and the little caucus stay- od ,2nd wrangled in No.1% until o'clock, when an adjournment was made without its having arrived at any conclusion, excent that a meeting would Be held at St.Laurent.Pn \u2014\u2014 MR.BEEMER'S SCHEME.Plan to Buy up Several Railways Around Quebre.Quebec, Dec.9.\u2014The Beemer City Flec- frs Railway scheme is beginning to out- \u20ac itself.The stock holders of the ontmorency Electric Power Company are called to meet on the 1lth of this Month to decide whether they will accept he offer which Mr.Beemer has been authorized to make for their stock.This offer contemplates the purchase of the Fhole êtock by the company represented y Mr.Beemer at the rate of 15 per cent, that is to say, 50 per cent.above Par, and of 38 per cent.over its actual- io quoted value.The purchase would Javolve & sum of $900,000.The scheme Self, into which enters the cost of Que- CS electric street railway, together h the purchase of the Quebec, Mont- Morency and Charlevoix Railway, and Present Upper Town Street Rail- Way, etc., calls for a capital of two and eshalt to three million dollars, which roan York and Baltimore capitalists are prise to put into the gigantic enter- e.The offer now before them Amounts to $6,00,000, representing 3150 Per share, of which $400,000 is in cash.§nd $200,000 in preferential stock to be S red at their disposal.If they prefer ; ake no stock in the company, a clause n the contract provides that the $200,- shell also be paid cash, so that virtually the enti e off spot cash ons x offer before them is a VENEZUELAN DIFFICULTY.Great Britain\u2019s Ultimatum Reaches Caraccas\u2014United States Inter- {erence Discussed.London, Dec.10.\u2014A despatch to the Times from Caraccas, Venezuela, dated December 1st, says: \u2018\u2018The British ultimatum has been delivered here, tut the Ministers are reticent as to its contents.There are no signs of any anti- English fecling here.The authorities assert that the revolution has been completely crushed and that there are only a few scattered insurgents in outlying districts.\u201d The Times also publishes a letter from Caraccas, which says that the Venezuelans are themselves hopeless of preventing the judgment going against Lnem on the question of the frontier outraga upon the British Guiana policemen, and the delay in making reparation, the correspondent adcs, probably arises from the shakiness of President Crespo\u2019s, authority and his fear of incurring unpopularity.quotes an article from the Journal Des Debats, commenting upon the Venezuelan dispute, which says: \u201cIn spite of its immense indusirial power the United States does not possess the military and naval forces which, after all, are at the bottom ot every diplomatic discussion which is carried rather far.\u201d The Times also publishes an editorial commenting upon the foregoing sub- Ject, which contends that the Monroe doctrine cannot be applied either to the boundary line dispute or to Great Britain\u2019s demand for reparation on account of outrage upon the officers of British Guiana.\u201cIt is no more possible,\u201d says the Times, \u2018to submit the territory \u2018within the Schomberg line to arbitration than it would be for the United States to submit to arbitration should Spain set up a \u2018claim to a part of Florida.The remarks of the Journal Des Debats are not conceived in a friendly or a delicate spirit, but they have an element of truth which sensible Americans cannot ignore.It is easy to see that if this controversy is not skilfully handled a state of things might arise among the ill-governed Central and South American Republicans which would involve the United States in a large expenditure for the army and navy that are now happily unnecessary.\u201d The Chronicle remarks it as an unusual courtesy that a copy of Lord Salisbury\u2019s despatch to Washington has been handed to the United States Ambassador, Mr.Bayard.FROM THE CAPITAL.i» Form a New Labor Organization\u2014 Mrs.Shortis to See the Justice \u2019 Department.Ottawa, Dec.9.\u2014The Canadian members of the Knights of Labor are becoming dissatisiied with their connection with the order, on account of the head offices being in the United States.At a meeting held in Labor Hall here it was decided to form a Canadian National Labor Union, similar to the Knights of Labor.Rev.Father Fallon, of the Ottawa University, publishes the following letter in to-night\u2019s press: \u201cI think it my plain duty to join with Rev.Father Whe- lan in deploring the scandal occasioned by our recent regrettable public discussion, and to ask an indulgent pardon for my share in the offence.I regret also that I plowed to appear In print remarks that were perhaps unnecessarily harsh and bitter, and that they may have given offence to persons to whom, for any reason or for no reason, they have been applied.\u201d George G.Foster, Wm.McLea Walbank and G.B.Burland are here to-night in connection with the Lachine Power Company's echeme.Mrs.Shortis, mather of Shortis now in Beauharnois Jail*awaiting execution, arrived here this afternoon.It is likely that Mr.Foster and herself will have an interview with the Justice Department to-morrow regarding the case.SIR WILLIAM VAN HORNE May Retire From the Presidency of the CP.R.Next Year.There is a likellhood that in a few months Sir William Van Horne will retire from the presidency of the Canadian Pacific Railway, in which position he has built up Canada\u2019s greatest rail- ay.There are, however, many things which Sir William would like to see in proper shape, and on the fulfilment of his desire much will depend as to the time when he will sever his connection with the road.It may be in June next, or it may be considerably later.Sir William is well known to have highly cultured tastes in art and literature, but the busy life which falls to the lot of a great railway magnate left little time for the development of these tastes.He is now anxious, while yet young enough to travel with comfort and enjoyment, to spend a couple of years in an extended tour.To & Herald reporter last night fFir Willlam said: \u201cThe statement that has been made that I am to resign is unauthorized.I may say, however, that I hope to drop out of active service before long.There are several things I would like to do yet, or be instrumental in doing, it I have not to wait too long for the opportunity.\u201d Whenever Sir William does retire T.G.Shaughnessy, the vice-president, will assume lhe presidency.He has been doing a part of the work for some months past to lighten the president\u2019s ioad.HARRY HAYWARD\u2019S DOOM, Minneapolis, \u2018Minn., Dec.9.\u2014John Day Smith, who was associate counsel for Harry Hayward In the trial, forwarded to Governor Clouglh this morning a last Bppeal.\u2018The attorney asserts stoongly his belief that Hayward is insange and that it would be a crime to hangt \u2018him.He asks the Governor to stay the Execution until he can appoint a commission to look into the prisoner\u2019s condition.\u2018There is little likelihood that the request will be granted.\u2018The carpen~ ters are hard at work on the gallows and the clatter of the hammers easily penetrates to Harry's cell.At the first sound he sald to his watch: \u201cThey're off.\u201d The Harbor Eoard.The rumor that H.Laporte, president of the Chambre de Commerce, was to be appointed on the Harbor Board in the place left vacant by the death of Ald.Hurteau, was again revived yesterday, when it was stated on good authority that Mr, Laporte had been appointed.THE LEGISLATURE, Work on Mr.Casgrain\u2019s Election Law \u2014The Bill Affecting Montreal Benefit Associations\u2014Montreal Bill Amended.(Special to the Herald.) Quehec, Dee.9.\u2014One of ihe bills of the session which wiil most interest the general public is that affecting mutual \u2018benefit organizations.\u2018The new obliga- |.tions {mposed by \u2018the law are as follows: Na foreign mutual benefit and aid association or mutual insurance company, which fs not already, under the laws of Can.da, obliged to make a deposit with the Federal Government, or which does not come under articles 5264 to 5375, inclusively, of these revised statutes, is allowed fo carry on any business in the province, unless\u2019 it has obtained an authorization from the Lieutenant-Governor in Council.Sudiy authorization is given upon petition ot the association or company on compliance with the following conditions; that it 1.Publishesr a notice of such application in the Quebec Officlal Gazette during one month, and in a newspaper puo- lished In French and, in one published in i English in the lccality in which the The Paris correspondent of the Tim: chieff office is to be established.2.Deposits 4n the office of the Provincial Secretary a copy of its charter, articles of association or other deed constituting the same as a corporation, certified' by the officer having the custody of the original.3.Establishes: that it is so constituted Bs to carry out the obligations which it may contract, and 4.Deposits in the office of the Provin- clal Secretary a power of attorney constituting e chief agent in the province for the purpose of receiving services in any suit or proceeding against it, and declaring! rwhere the principal office of the association or company Is to be established.The Tieutenant-Governor in Council may, according to circumstances before granting the authorization, require the association or company to deposit, with the Provincial Treasurer, such sum of money as he may deem necessary to guarantee the carrying out of the engagements entered into in this province, which deposit may afterwards be increased or diminished, from time to time, by the Lieutenant-Governor in Counct], as circumstances may require.Such; deposit shall bear interest at the rate of three per cent.per annum in fa~ vor of the association or company.In mutual benefit and aid associations constituted under articles 3096 to 8104, efthen under a special charter or carrying on business under the authorization of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, as provided by article 5375A, the aid or assistance paid to sick members cannot exceed the amount raised for that purpose, after previously deducting the costa of management chargeable to that service, The members of the Committee of Management or Board of Directors of the association are jointly and severally responsible for any payment made in contravention of the preceding article, and may be condemned to reimburse to the association any sum so paid upon suit brought, by any member of such association.\u2018The, bill was read a second time without opposition.Mr.Simpson introduced a bill to repeal the law respecting lotteries and bazaars.The effect of this bill will be to leave these institutions under the provisions of the Federal criminal code.Hon.Mr.Casgrain introduced a bill to authorize the appointment of one additional judge of the Superior Court for the district of Sherbrooke.{The following bills passed the Committee of the Whole: \u201cAn act to amend the act incorporating the Chambly Manufacturing Com- ny, as amended by the Committee on Railways, etc.\u201d .\u201cAn act to Incorporate the Brandon and Ste.Emelie de l'Energie Railway Company, as amended by the Committee on Railways.\u201d \u201cAn act respecting the property of the late Francois Xavier Beaudry, bequeathed for charitable purposes, as amended by the Committee on Private Bills.\u201d \u201cAn act to incorporate the Three Rivers District Agricultural Association, as amended by the Committee on Private Bills.\u201d [The Casgraln election law was advanced at great speed to-day, a couple of clauses being read and disposed of.The first important change was the adoption of the Desrochers ballot, on which the traditional cross will be made with a rubber stamp, instead of written with a pencil.The next clauses to give rise to any discussion were those relating the sale of liquor.\u2018 It was agreed that the sale of liquor should be prohibited in the incorporated towns on the day of polling only.In the other towns it will be prohibited on the day preceding election also.The following clause was adopted on division on motion to strike it out by Mr.Dechene: .\u201c281.If it 1s found that any corrupt praciice has been committed by any one or more of the agents of any candidate at an election, whether with or without the actual knowledge and consent of such candidate, the election of such candidate, if he has been elected, shall be vold, and such candidate shall not be again nominated or elected for the same electoral district in the Legislative Assembly during the existence of the then Legislature, and if re-elected his election shall be null.If, however, such corrupt practice, committed without the actual knowledge and without the consent of the candidate, was of such a trifling nature or of such trifling extent that the result of the election cannot have been affected by such act, it shall not void the election.\u201d Nearly the whole bill had been disposed of before the committee rose.Mr.Stephens has given nolice that he will ask if any case has been brought under the notice of the Department of Crown Lands of trees cut for pulp wood under the size allowed by the department, and what are the present Crown dues per cord of 128 cubic feet of -wood for pulp, and Is there any difference in the emount of dues when the wood is mamufactured into pulp in Canada, or when it is exported in its original state to be manufactured abroad into pulp.All the bills affecting Montreal have been postpened, awaiting the return of Mr.Villeneuve.Notice has been given of a dozen amendments to the bills as they have passed the committee, conspicuous emong which is the following: Honorable Mr.Hall, when in Committee of the Whole on bill No.74 to amend the charter of the city of Montreal, will move that the following clause be inserted in the sald bill: \u2018Section 40 of the act 52 Victoria, Chap.T9, is replaced by the following: 40\u2014All expenses

census is taken next year it will show for the first time in the history of France, a smaller population than that of the British Islands.There was only a difference of about half a million in 1891, and this has been made up nearly twice over by the heavier Bri i h bi:th rate sine.Econcmists have been pointing out to the French for years, without much effect, that their relatively diminishing population made it Impossible that they should go on spending vast sums to maintain a fighting équality with peoples getting so much bigger than themsclves.Perhaps this being overtaken by the British, who, at the beginning of the century, had only 16,000,000 to France\u2019s 27,000,000, will ap peal to the French imagination.A PACIFIC CABLE, New York, Dec.9\u2014A meeting was held at the office of

sits at home surrounded by her handmaidens and emu'ating tbe industry of the Lusy hee, but is abroad in LE LauSt us Cie LU slay is AOL BULLE) spirit o.all advawme, it is not strange \u2018hat the favorite fro k of a former s'ason must be rosignedly religated to oblivien\u2014a garment as utterly impossible to-duy as the costume of Eve.For Fashion is as progres sive as woman hersclt in this fin de siecle period.It may te only a line 0: a curve, but it is quite sufficicnt to make the votary of fashion wretchid.If* our fur coat had a jabot last year, this winter the jahct must be replaced by revers, Qur dress skirts out in umbrella or umpire fashicn last winter must be now mod-+ elled with the three comvomtional plaits in! the back\u2014and sppear broad and bouffant.The slecves, stiffened until it was a sorrow to crush them into one's coat are now twice as full, the increase of material even making them larger than when shaped with crinoline.The modest skirt binding of velveteen is superseded by a bias roll of velvet, stripad, choked or plain in the same or in a contrasting color\u2014which forms a pretty finish {o an otherwise untrimmed skirt.In short, whcre a few ycars ago a dress might be retrimmed, snd re-shaped.making a most prescntable re-appearance on the street, or in the drawing room, now- a-cays it is fit for Little else than rosettes, collars or belts.However, one\u2019s out of date silks can bo excellently employed to that ezd, silk sleeves and trimm'ngs being largely used oa cloth waists, Many of the gowns this scason, notable.those of boucle cloths bave tro büdices, one severcly plain, of talor cut, open from throat to bolt for shirt and vest, or pretty silk pleatings as may be preforred, ihe other having a jack cficet, Carina, and slreves of plain or brocaded silk.Fur is usel very largely this yrar as an effective trimming for both street and house gown, and gives a fetching finish to the chio little cloth capes that match the costume.Some winter hats displayed this yeat remind one of very etiological figures.Wings Stending out on each side of the head do not pive a woman an angelic appearance, On the contrary the upright side wings are some\u201d bat smggestive of the horns ef his Satanic Majesty.HAIRDRESSERS\u2019 MODELS, The Beautiful Wax Figures are Made From Humble Benutics, Few people who look at thé wex figares displaying thle latest coiffures in a hair dresser\u2019s window know that the models that pose for them makd a profitable business out of it.The making of wax heads that are ati all excellent has only lat«ly become ait American industry, Vienna having cxported them in great quantities to London, Paris and New York.America is (qualling them now, however, and New York turns out for $100 or $150 figures that are really beautiful.The models are oftmest Italians or poor people.Ib is strange, but thare perfectly regular, \u2018often faultless, features are found.Dirt and bad complexions are no drawbacks for work where the pin and white is the pink and white of the make-up box and not of nature; and thdr lark of that intellectuality which mokes the faces of the higher clasges less statucsque is a help to the wax figure modeler.Every hair of the head, as well as of the brows and lashos, is inserted in the wax separately, with tlle aid of a bot 1 dle, so that it can be washed, combed and arranged in every sort of a coiffuro\u2014 evien curled on hot iroms~with no danger of its coming out, THE SENSIBLE WIFE.She Does Not Get Herself Associated With Shabbiness and Debts.\u2018\u2018Anothox way of getting one\u2019s self unpleasantly associated is to introduce pain- fui topics, like bills and depleted wardrobes, at improper times,\u201d\u2019 says a woman writer in the Washington Star, discussing the sub.jecd of \u201chow to manage a busband.\u201d \u2018Men ard creatures of moods, amd have, as a result, their amiable apd unamiable pe riods.The unamiable epoch, according to my researches, is, with the most of them early in the morning, and yet that is the very time that untactful womax (with her hair quite probably in curl papers) tak 3 to prefer her monetaty claims, thereby get ting harself confused in bis mind with house rent, gas bills, shabby cloaks and other distasteful things; whereas, had she possessed Lier soul in patience till that might after dinner, and 4liem gtated ber wants

which)says there iy a time and a place for all things?At all events, the saying is true as Scripture.\u201d Dame Fashions Ways, Few hats are seen without black aigrettes.Real laces were never more in demand than, at Ipresent.Boned dorselet, belts made of wide sash ribbon are fashionable novelties.The rage for chiffon, for waists, sleeves and accessories, ptill continues unabated.With evening dress\u2019 the hain may again be picturesquely bound with fillets of ribbon Innumerable small gold buttons are used as trimming on many handsome black bodices.The latest crush colors are of broad ribbon.finished with a big butterfly bow at the back.Valenciennes lace i$ now obtainable In shades to harmonize with many colors, but butter and cream shades still take the, lead .The lightest, most airy, filmy fabrics ara considered especially suitable to use in conjunction with fur, velvet and ostrich: plumes.Feather boas are successfully rivaled by those of black thibet.The latter are very generally becoming, and are much more durable than the former.! Elegant\u2019 turn-over collars and cuffs are made; of lace trimmed white matin: they are pointed in imitation of the fashionable linen lawn collars.A mew basque had an all-round frill about three inches deep; it 1$ cut in one with the waist, and ripples decidedly at\u2019 \u2018the back.Plain stock collars pre again very stylish.They: are ornamented with.bows of band trimming, and sometimes support turn-down points or tabs of the trimming material edged with lace.Double-faced coating is much used for capes\u201dand coats when silk or satin linings are dispensed with.The outer surfacer 1s stylishly rough, while the other side is fleecy and is often plaided ina manner Euggestive of quilting.The 014 Fur Cape.If your fur cape of several seasons ago is not full enough for the present style, cut straight slashes from the bottom edge up to the yoke line, and insert accordion- plaited silk, velvet, chiffon or lace, or use plaited cloth with an edge of fur to match the cape, and you will have one of the most desirable and *\u2018swellest\u201d novelties of the season.The idea carried out in velvet or cloth is dressy and distinctively new.A pretty collarette may be made from an old-fashioned fur cape by cutting oif the arm coverings and arranging the fur in sharp points, both back and front, Under the edge of the fur set a full frill ot black crepe de chine and finish with a large knot of eatin ribbon at the col- | A lar, mA MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1895.Woman\u2019s Faucles.Collarettes of white feathers for the opera.Hand-painted buttons with jewelled rims.Pocketbooks of elephant's hide, with gold clasps.Black net appliqued with white lace.Suede gloves in plum color.Camel's hair Alpine hats, with at the side.with a quill -\u2014\u2014 Theatre bonnets of fur tails and lace.Lace collars with the design | with jewels.gn incrusted Pocket handkerchiefs with a narrow border in three contrasting colors.Enameled butterfly veil pins.Chinchilla victorines w silk linings.th gorgeous Dancing slippers with jewel embroidered toes.THE SOCIAL WORLD Mrs.Dobbin, of Sherbrooke, gave s young peopic's dinnev on Friday even:ng in honor oË Mr.Hilton Holmes, of tho Bank of Commerce, who is leaving for Toronto.Mrs.Maze, of Durocher Street, gave af large and very brilliunt \u2018At Hume\u201d on Sawrday «frernoon on the occasion of the d.bat of her sister, Miss Eugenie Duhamel.The fair debutaute lookcà bœut fui in a French gown of white satin.Shu carried à large bouquet of white roses al violets.Mrs.Maze received in a gown of white and black satin and wore a auge bouquet of chrysanthemums.Miss Maze was gownod in white lace.The decorations wero of white chrysanthemums'and palms, G.ucnwald's or.hex tra was slatianed in the main ball.Mr.Goo.Washington Sucphons, Jr., by his sing ing, contributed much to the success of the entertainment.Among the guests were Sir William and Lady Lacoste, Miss Lacoste, Sir William Hingston, Lady Hingston, Judga anl Mrs.John Hall, the Count ard Countess of Livges, Dr.and Mrs.James Bel, Mr.aud Mrs.Wolferstan Thomas, Miss Thomas;
