Hundred Men Going from Toronto! Five Three Hundred Gone from Winnipeg.Orrawa, March 27\u2014In the House of Commons Mr.Blake inquired whether or not it was true that A\u201d and \u201cB\u201d Batteries had been ordered to prepare for active service and that arrangements had been made for the transport of troops over the gap still remaining in the C.P.R., north of Lake Superior; if such should be found necessary ?Sir John Macdonald said every arrangement had been made to carry troops by gleighs across the unfinished portion of the C.D.R,, north of Lake Superior, extending for a distance of about seventy mile, in case ofnecessity.\u2018\u201cB\u201d Battery at Kingston Had also been warned that their services might be wanted.Immediately after recess Sir John Mac- dorvald made the following statement: \u2014 I received a telegram this afternoon from Col.Irvine.He has arrived at Carlton.His telegram is not dated, but it bears the date of Winnipeg, sc I cannot say exactly when it was written :-\u2014¢¢ Carlton, N.W.T.\u2014The party ur- der my command has just arrived.When pear Fort Carlton we found that Crozier, with a party of 100, went to Duck Lake to secure a large quantity of supplies there stored.We were wet by some 200 rebels, Beardy\u2019s Reserve, and endeavored Lo surround the police and civilians.The rebels fired first, when it became general.Crozier, owing to the disadvantage at which he was taken, retreated, arriving at the fort at the same time as my party.Ten civilians of Prince Albert and two policemen were killed and four civilians and seven constables wounded.Killed\u2014Constables T.J.Gibèon and G.P.Arnold ; civilians\u2014 Capt, John Meriton, W.Kipier, James Bakely, 8.Rapier Elliot, Robt.Middleton, D.Mackenzie, D.MacPhoil, Chas.Hewitt, Joseph Anderson, Alex.Fisher, Wounded \u2014Capt, Moore, leg breken, A, MacRah, W R.Marpley,Alex.Stewart,of the volunteers, The North-West Mounted Police wounded are Inspector J.Howe, Corporal Gilchrist, Constable Garrett, S.F.Gordon, A F* Smith, J.J.Moore and Constable Miller.The number of rebels killed is not known.The policemen and civilians acted with the greatest bravery under heavy fire, (Signed), Irvise)\u201d À telegram was received by the Minister of Militia, in cypher, from General Middleton, merely conveving the rumor and asking that \u201c B\u201d Battery be sent forward now.I might take occasion to say that while yesterday the trouble was localized, I thought reticence was the proper aud politic course, but now that it has assumed the proportions it has done, the fullest information will be given to the House from time to time.Mr.Blake\u2014I think it is important, if consistent with the public interest, that the hon.gentleman should convey to us now, or at a later hour this evening, what the condition is of the supplies of food at the various points of the North-West Territory, where they are collected for the use of the mounted police, and\" for the purpose of giving food to the Indians.It ls, of course, very obvious that the probability of the Indians taking part in this unhappy business must depend ina great measure upon the food supply, and if we are assured that the supply is\u201d sufficient our anxiety on that point will be very much diminisaed.Sir John Macdonald\u2014The food supplies over that vast country is like spreadin food over an area equal to Ontario and Quebec, as the hon.gentleman knows.1 received a telegraphic message from the Lieutenant-Governor, he then being at Regina, saying that everything south of that point was quiet and the Indians and everybcdy elee quiet along the line, A telegram from Mr.Egan, who is in charge of the traffic arrangements of the Canadian Pacific \u2018Railroad, states that at Oak Hill, a place on the line, a half-breed was arrested for attempting to place an obstruction on the line, which it was presumed was for the purpose of preventing the 90th regiment from going on to Qu\u2019A pelle.\u2019 The prisoner stated that Riel had 1,500 men under him and six American caunon.That was the statement of this man and it must be taken quantum valeal, I am not in & position to state to-night exactly what quantities of food are en hand at different points, and, perhaps, it would not Le quite wise to point out just where they are stored.However, I shall have a memorandum.prepared on that point, Which I will communicate to the hon.geutleman, and I think that, under the cir.Cumstances, I can confidently rely on his Support in all such matters.[Opposition cries of hear, hear.ee surgents do not know where thev are, I don\u2019t want to know.Sir John Macdcrald\u2014I fancy that the insurgents do not know.Mr.Blake\u2014I do not know that anything that has been communicated to the House with reference to this subject will be received with greater gratification than the statement made by the hon.geitleman that we shall be placed in possession of the fullest information.Perhaps he will cause to be prepared such papers as will give in effect an answer to the note on which I made yesterday and which under a sense of daty he thought it not fitting at that moment to answer.He has now stated that in the present condition of this unhappy busicess he will communicate from time to time everything as it occurs, the publication of which will not endanger the public interest.There can be no detriment to the public interest, whatever may have existed a few hours ago, in communicating as to the past the information which I requested him to give yesterday, or such part of itas he conceives he can give without danger to the public interest Sir John Macdonald\u2014I will be very glad to give such information as to the past so far as it does not throw too strong a light on the future.Mr.Ives\u20141 would like to ask the First Minister whether he proposes to use the Canadian route for transport, and, if 80, what delay will be occasioned in portaging over ibat part of the railroad which is mot constructed, and whether there will be any serious delay in portaging over this part of the route?\u2018 Sir John Macdonald\u2014Steps were taken some days ago to communicate with Mr.Henry Abbott, brother of the hon, member for Argenteuil, who is in charge as engineer of construction on the Canadian Pacific Railway, and he has made all preparations for forwarding the troops by that route.They must go by that route.They will go quicker by that route than by any other, taking into account the delay there would be in communication with Washington.There are about T0 miles that will have to be travelled between the two ends of the constructed line north of Lake Superior, and we confidently rely upon having snow there go that we can do our transporting by sleighs., The men can be carried across this gap, and it will do them no harm and make no material delay, and when they reach the otber line they can go on safely by rail to Winnipeg and, if necessary, without interruption to the Rocky Mountains.Bo far as we know the whole hostile force is concentrated in the vicinity of Prince Albert or thereabouts, Mr.Blake\u2014When is it expected the men will Le ready ?Sir John Macdorald\u2014They are ordered to go at once.Mr.Caron\u2014I may say that when we received the news which the leader of thle Government has communicated, and previous to the time that the news was com- raunicated, the Department had taken precautions to proyide for the transport and subsistance of about five hundred men to be gent into the North-West, It is intended that one hundred men each from \u201cA\u2019 and \u201c B\u201d Batteries shall be conveyed Immediately over the Canadian Pacific Railway north of Lake Superior and provision has been made that no delay will occur in transport.I may say that the batteries have been under moving orders for the last three days aiffhat orders have been given now that they shall leave immediately.I expect that a detachment fcom A Battery will leave Quebec tc-night or to-morrow morning at the latest, and a detachment from B Battery will meet them to-morrow night or the morning after.\u2018 r.Blake\u2014Waere is Gen.Middleton just now ?Sir John Macdonald\u2014He is at Winnipeg, but he telegraphs that he is going to move west to-morrow morning.Mr.Charlton\u2014I would like to ask the honorable gentleman if he has taken into account that, we are near the opening of spring, and a sudden thaw might interrupt communication north of Lake Superior.Mr.Mills\u2014I would like to ask the First Minister whether the Government intend that the commission which was spoken of will go on at once or whether he purposes that the commiesion shall be\u2019 held in abeyance until this difficulty is over, Sir John Macdonald\u2014The commission will go on at once without delay.They will deal with all questions connected with the half-breeds, Mr, Blake\u2014Has the formal commission been issued ?Sir John Macdonald\u2014I really cannot say as to that.Mr.Black\u2014Perhaps the hon.gentleman will bring down a copy of the commission when if 18 issued.Sir John Macdonald\u2014Yes.Later.Mr.Blake enquired if any further intelligence had been received from the North- est since the statement made to the House by the Premier early in the evening.Mr.Caron said no information had been received excepting a telegram stating that the instructions sent to the various corps to be ready had been carried out and that they were now moving, Mr.Blake enquired whether the House had information as to all the forces that were in motion or ordered to be in motion._ Mr.Caron replied that in addition to the instructions given to him, 100 men each from À end Batteries, had been gent out over the C.P.C., the Government had also, since making the last statement, issued orders for 250 meu from the Queen\u2019s Own Rifles, Toronto, and 250 more from the 10th Royals, as well as 85 men from the School of Iofantry, to be in immediate readihess for active service.The whole 580 men would be placed under the command of Colonel Otter, and would be ready at a moment\u2019 notice tp be transported to Winnipeg by the Canadian Pacific Railway.These\u201d were the only troops go far that had been ordered to place themselves in readiness, Mr.Blake asked if anything had been done with reference to the despatch of additional troops composed of the volusteers in the Province of Manitoba.Mr, Garon said that orders were given two days ago for the 90th Battalion and half of the battery stationed at Winnipeg to proceed to Qu\u2019Appelle.It was the intention of the Government to organize a mouated corps who would furnish their own horses, saddlery and arms, to be composed of men who were accustomed to the country and who were provided with about the best arms that could ba found in such an emergency.This corps Mr.Blake\u2014My suggestion was merely 83 to where those supplies are.If the in- would number from 150 to 200 mounted men, and would be under the command of AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE.MONTREAL, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, Captain Stewart, who was formerly in command of the Princess Louise Dragoon Guards here.Mr.Blake suggested that as the House was about to adjourn for several days and the members would be exceedingly anxious to have intelligence of what was going on, the Government should take means to keep the members informed of any occurrences so far as this could be done without injuring the public interest, : Mr, Caron said the Government would be very happy .to communicate all information to members as soon as received, and means would be taken to do 80.Mr.Bowell said Le had been inform- -ed since the previous statement was made, that the distance between the two ends of the Canadian Pacific Railway across which the troops would have to be transported was only about 45 miles instead of 70, as was supposed.Mr.Watson enquired if it was the intention of the Government to furnish arms and accoutrements to any volunteer companies who might organize in Manitoba.Mr.Caron said that of course discretion would have to be exercised in giving arms to iroops that might be organized, but the Government were perfectly alive to the necessities of the moment and a large number of stands of arms had been forwarded to Winnipeg in addition to the large supply already there.Mr.Watson said he understood that during last summer Louis Riel had sent an order for a stand of arms to a hardware merchant in Winnipeg, but that order had been intercepted, and properly so, by the Government, : Mr, Caron said he was not aware of any such action.Mr.Blake asked that all papers and reports relating to past events in connection with half-breed claims in the North-West Territories be prepared and submitted to the House on Monday.The subject was then dropped, shortly before the adjournment of the House, The Whereabouts of Dack Lake; Res poris About tha Indians False.OTTAWA, Ont, March 27.\u2014The volunteers of Battleford have left that place to join Col.Irvine at Carlton, Duck Lake, to which Urozier was pro- creding, is a place about a day\u2019 ride east of Carlton on the Winnipeg road, Of Crozier\u2019s force of 100 men, forty were settlers and volunteers from Prince Albert, a white settlement about 25 miles below Carlton on the Saskatchewan.The attack- ng force consisted of about 200 half-breeds.The fire of the half-breeds,, who were probably in ambush, wag severely felt.The report that Indians from the south were coming in appears to be false.Sir John said to-day that they were all quiet, -Captain Moore, returned wounded with a leg broken, is a prominent settler of Prince Albert and the principal miller there.He was formerly, think, an Imperial officer and probably in command of he Prince Albert volunteers.Troops Golug From Toronto.Toronto, March 27.\u2014Five hundred men are ordered from here for the North-West, and the Queen\u2019 Own, Tenth Rovals and Company \u2018\u2018 C\u201d infautry, parade at ten tc- morrow for the selection of men for the service.A Riel Hnif-breed Obstruciing the C.P.R, WINNIPEG, March 27.\u2014A half-breed, arrested by the Canadian Pacific Railway men near Oak Lake, on Thursday night, for placing obstructions on the track, had on his person a letter from Riel of the most inflammatory nature, It states that Riel has 1,500 men, amongst them several American Indians from south of the American line, It also says that Superintendent Crozier\u2019s force at Carlton are prisoners and that Riel has six cannona, 120 men went west from Winnipeg yesterday and more followed to-day.LATEST FROM WINNIPEG.The Capiared Train Wrecker.WwxiPec, Man., March 27.\u2014News from the seat of the North-West troubles is not reassuring to-day, and to some extent alarming.The result is military manceu- vres continue with unceasing activity.General Middleton arrived this morning, and is a guest at the Government House, attended by Deputy Adjutant-General Houghton.He inspected the stores, clothing, magazine and supplies at Fort Osborne, and was dissatisfied with the condition of the clothing, which had lain there since the last Riel rebellion, and therefore is unfit for service.The rebels were at Batoche Crossing, South Saskatchewan, esterday, with four hundred armed men.iel has issued an order not to molest white men, but is seizing arms and imprisoning officials of the Government everywhere, Governor Dewdney denies the reported tampering with the mails telegraphed yesterday.Horses at mail stations were, however seized.Riel 18 recon- noltering between Duck Lake and Prince Albert with six hundred armed men, Major Crozier, from Carlton, sent word to Battleford that an attack was expected.Big Bear, who wag reported to have gone to Carleton, is still at Fort Pitt.Musket, chief of the Stonies, fifteen miles south of Battleford, offered ove hundred men to aid the police.Crozier has two hundred Indians under arms.He has also three pieces of artillery.Telegraph lines are working along the main line all the road from Winnipeg to Edmonton, :but the branch to Prince Albert is still down.A despatch from Battleford just received says that they have organized a company of forty- five men for service.They had not heard from Prince Albert for some days, and have sent out a scout to investigate and expect he will return at noon to-day if not interrupted.Capt.Wastie, of Brandon, arrested a supposed emissarv of Riel\u2019s agitating the haif-breeds at Oak Lake, fifty miles west of that city, On the Canadian Pacific.His name is Lonis Gouvinne.He had been sent with letters to Indians and half-breeds at Broadview, Oak Lake and Bay St.Paul.He was captured at Broadview, his captors bing mounted police.To their disap-t pointment, however, the papers were no.fond on him.The prisoner says he lef Riel six days ago and that he had then six\u2019 American cannon and 1,500 men and that he was being joined by American Indians.Major Crozier and his men, he says, have been made prisoners.The story is disbelieved and is supposed to be exaggerated.The prisoner was brought to Winnipeg by order of General Middleton, and arrived here at one o'clock in charge of Captain Wastie, He is a man about twenty-five years of age, average height, good features for one who appears to be more Indian than anything else; black shining eyes and glossy hair, and rather low forehead compleles his physiognomy.He resembles a Montana cowboy.The prisoner now stoutly denies any connection with Riel.He is nevertheless believed to be one of the gang who attempted to wreck the military train going west on Wednesday night near Os Lake.The train escaped, but the section man next morning found a large iron plate on the track, and the prisoner a short distance off, lurking in a suspicious manner, He in now in the police station, General Middleton, who takes charge of the arrangements for the expedition, arrived from Ottawa at seven o'clock this morning, He was met at the station by Colonel Houghton and other officers of militia, He was driven to Government House at once, where he will have headquarters until he leaves with the troops.All the forenoon he was active at Fort Osborne.A fire alarm sounded at 9.30 a.m.and a bugle alarm, the troops hurried to and fro very actively and soon made a fine muster.The men are active and eager for the front.Although the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company only received orders from the Dominion Government night before last to undertake the transport of troops from Qu\u2019Appelle to Prince Albert, such vigorous measures did the company take that the entire transport has been arranged for.: Oue hundred and foriy teams have been secured and are now at Qu\u2019Appelle.They were hired from various posats near QuwAppelle.Each man furnished his own team and waggon.-Another hundred teams and waggons were sent forward by a special provision train which left for the West at noon today.This will make 240 feams in all; each outfit receives eight dollars per day, which will make the expenditure for transport alone about $2,000 a day, to say nothing of fodder and provisions for the troops, a sufficient quantity of which will be taken to last ab.ut two wee-s.Agents are being employed at points along the line of march to purchase and provide stores for the troops.The 90th Rifles- Field Battery and Cavalry were insgected at 2 p.m, and told to hold themselves in readiness to go to the frontat 6 o\u2019clock.Four hundred horses were purchased today and the city had a decidedly warlike appearance, but the citizens are cheerful and confident that the blow, when struck, will be short, sharp and decisive.LaTEr \u2014Startling information has just been received by the chief officer of the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company this atternoon, It announced the first collision of troops with the rebels near Duck Lake and not far from Fort Carlton.Colonel Irvine it gaid to have effected a junction with Crozier at Fort Carlton, The latter made a sortie from the fort with one hundred men to secure supplies from Duck Lake.They were intercepted by rebeis who outnumbered them three to one, Civilians, under Captain Moore, of Prince Albert, comprised half of Crozier\u2019s command.The rebels made an attempt to surround the police, and first opened fire.The police and civilians responded, and the fight is reported to have become general! for atime.Crozier, finding himself outnumbered and the rebels as well armed as himself, if not better, fell back slowly upon Fort Carlton, Ten civilians, of Prince Albert, were killed, and two Mounted Police.Four civilians and seven Mounted Police were wounded.There is tremenduous excitement and troops have just embarked for the West at T o\u2019clock in charge of General Middleton.The whole power of the Dominion will be put forth to crush the insurgents, Another regiment will be raised here and equipped.There are retired officers enough here to command two ' regiments and also volunteers.The police and civilians are reported to have behaved nobly under fire.The rebel loss is believed to be large, but is not known on account of the police having to retire, Further news is awaited with anxiety, as it is believed the rebels will follow up their success by attacking Fort Carlton, where Col.Irvine and Capt.Crozier have now effected a junction, * \u201cA\u201d Battery off for the North-West, Quesro, March 27.\u2014Peremptory orders were received by Col.Cotton from Ottawa to-night ordering the immediate despatch of 100 men of *\u201c A \u201d Battery to the scene of disturbance in the North-West, , The orders were immediately acted upon and a special train will leave the Palais Station at 1 am, with 100 mén under command of Capt.Peters and Lieuts.Hudon and Rivers.They have all necessary ambulances and ammunition with them, besides 9 horses and two nine-pounder fiejd guns.The men are in the best of spirits and seem ready for a little active service.* À \u201d Battery for the Field of Action.[SPECIAL To THE HERALD.] Queskc, March 28th, 3 a.m.\u2014A detachment of \u2018 À \u201d Battery, 125 strong, with two 9-pounder field pieces, ammunition, and provisions, under the command of Captains Drury and Peters and Lieutenants Hudon and Rivers, left here at two o'clock this morning by the North Shore Railway, en route for the scene of the troubles in the North West, in consequence of the peremptory orders to march, received from Ottawa shortly after dusk last night.The detachment which was held in readiness for the purpose since Wednesday, and vhich was originally in- joined at the last moment by volunteers from the short course men, principally from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, atiending the gunnery courses of the citadel, were bronght up this strength of 125 men with the officers.This number includes twelve members of the Battery band.The order to march wag received by the detachment, which is çom posed of the picked men of the Battery, with the greatest enthusiasm and galety of apirits, but it appears to have tended to be composed of only 85 men, was 1885.been otherwise with their Wives and sweethearts, and the parting scenes on the citadel are described as having been extremely pathetic.Shortly after midnight, and, just as the Legislature was ad_ journing, the order to fall in was given, and at 12,30 the detachment, praceded by the field pieces, took up its march to the railway station, with the band playing alternately \u2018\u201c Auld Lang Syne,\u201d \u201cThe Girl 1 Left Behind Me,\u201d and the ¢ British Grenadiers,\u201d THE C.P.R.AND THE RISING, A Great Force at Their Disposal.a an interview with a Canadian Pacific Rail say official last night, a HERALD re presentative was informed that the com\u201d pany had been advised by the Government to hold themselves and their staff in readiness to transport a considérable force, artillery and line, from the Eastern Provinces to the North-West.They were prepared for the undertaking, and would put it through with all expedition.There was but a small gap to tramp, weat of Dog Lake (north of Lake Superior).There need be no apprehension about the Company\u2019s ability to protect their line.They had ample force for the purpose, and could guarantee that no trouble will arise on that account, ; The Company, as the works hdve been approaching completion, have béen discharging men at the rate of a thousand a week, and, no doubt, many of the hardier spirits would be glad of the opportunity to remain in the service, if needed, for the protection of the Company\u2019s property.Thousands of men could ve collected in twenty-four hours on a given point, if necessary, but there is not the slightest likelihood of anything of the kind being called for.65TH REGIMENT

Col.Ouimet said that the regiment had disbanded last fall and all their clothing was in store.They could get the men together so as to be ready to start in 48 hours, but the great trouble would be about the equipments.The men: would require overcoats, fur caps, water battles, boots and aleo snowshoes as there was a gap in the Canadian Pacific road over which they would have to march.The arms were all right but he did not known what they should do for equipments.If the Government had provided armories here, this obstacle would not have arisen.The full strength of the regiment is 336 men

The Leading Secessionist Throws up the Sponge! [SrzcrAL To Tux HERALD.] HALIFAX, March 27, In the debate on the resolution for secession, which has lasted nearly a week, several Government (Liberal) supporters declared for immediate repeal.The original motion moved by Fraser was for secession from Canada and a union of the Maritime Provinces.Premier Fielding\u2019s amendment is to the effect that if the Dominion Government fail to give Nova Scotia better terms during the present session of parliament, this House affirms that it will be necessary to consider the advisability of taking steps to secure repeal.To-day Mr, Bell, the Liberal-Conserva- tive leader, threw a bombshell into the House by moving that : Whereas, it is admitted by all parties that the local revenue of Nova Scotia is insufficient to maintain the services under the control of the Local Government, and whereas it is affirmed by some :members of this House and by the leader of the Government, that Nova Scotia is suffering in consequence of Qonfederation ; and whereas it is further affirmed by these members that there is a spirit in favor of a repeal of the Union\u2018 among the people of this Province, and that the consideration of that subject will be desirable and necessary in the event that no improvement in our financial position is granted before the end of the present session of the Dominion Parliament, therefore resolved, that in order to test the corrèet- ness of the statements of the said members of the House and Government if no favorable answer to the joint memorial of the Nova Scotia Legislature be returned before the end of the present session of the Dominion Parliament this House shall, as soon as possible after the prorogation, be dissolved in order to submit the question of repeal to the people at the polls and obtain their decision thereon.\u201d He said he took for granted that the parties moving were sincere in their demand for repeal and he would take them at their word.If it was true that the peaple were dissatisfied, it was time they were given an opportunity finally to settle the matter, His amendment fell on the secession advocates likea thunderclap.Premier Fielding announced that the Government could not accept the challenge, and said that the local government party was not the repeal party.Mr.Fraser, of Guysboro, who moved the Government were the leaders of the agitation for repeal.The debate had made him a sadder and a wiser man.He still believed that the rank and file of the party were for repeal; but the leaders had confessed that they only used the agitation for the purpose of extorting money from Canada.As far as the Legislature was concerned, repeal was dead a8 Julius Cesar, and buried, and he (Fraser) would never open his mouth in favor of it again.The House, which has degenerated into a regular beer garden, is still in session to-night.LATER.The vote was taken at midnight after a bitter personal altercation between \"ex- Premier Pipes and ex-Attorney-General Weeks, and Premier Fielding\u2019s amendment was carried on strict party lines The repealers thus voted down the Tory motion to submit the question of secession to the people for final decision.LATEST CABLE

strong foreign markets with a shilling advance in some cases, There is a suspicion, however, that the quotations are being worked by interested parties.Consols also are said to so.no longer be a fair indication of the political situation, as they are oversold by speculators in anticipation of war.We confidently expect a sharp decline ina day or so, but on sharp drops would take the long side, as the price is low enough to wat rant a profit if held for à short time, war or no war, Provisions were strong today on free buying by packers who were short.We expect a moderate decline, but regard them favorably.Corn is firm but dull.Exports of wheat, 15 loads, Estimated cars of wheat to-morrow, 45.corn 350, oats 143, hogs 11,000.Grain Option Markeis.Closing prices to-day :\u2014 Milwaukce,

LECTURES.cences of Sir William Logan,\u201d by Dr.Bell, F.G,S.The fifth lecture of the Sommerville course Was delivered in the Natural His- tosy Society's rooms on Thursday evening, by Di Robert Bell, F.G.S., the sub- wg is Reminiscences of the late Sir 4 being * 5 E Lon.\u201d The attendance was large and the discourse 2 most interesting one.A fine oil painting of Sir William Logan, by Bell Smith, adorned the wall over the jecturer, While a fine picture, enlarged from à photograph, of the great geologist wae exhibited by the lecturer.Dr, T.terry Hunt presided, and introduced the Jecturer in à few well chosen words.Dr.Bell first remarked that Sir William Logan and the Geological Survey were eo intimately connected that an account of one comprised an account of the other.He did not purpose to enter into a detailed description of the geological pursuits of Sir William, or the rise and progress of j t rather to give a selection cf Lhe Sur evo illustrate the various ints in the character of Sir William, as Yell as some of his personal reminiscences.During the 17 or 18 years he had known gir William Logan, the\u2019 lecturer said, he had met bim in such a variety of cireum- stances that a narration of some of them would give à better idea of the man than could be gleaned from a biography.The formation of the Geological Society was due, in the first place, to the Natural History Society.At first, through THE INFLUENCE OF HON.JOHN YOUNG, an annualjGovernment grant of £1,500 was ot tained, which was afterwards increased to £2,000.During the time of Sir William Logan, the average annual grant was £15,000, with which great things were accomplished.The first rooms of the Geological Survey were on SL.James street, near Dollard.They were aftefwards removed to St.James street, near St.Gabriel, and afterwards into the latter street.When tie lecturer first met Sir William, he was received with the greatest friendliness.The latter\u2019s devotion to business was something phenominel, not only did be work all day, but every night, unless otherwise engaged.He slept amid his idols and took his breakfast at a restaurant in St.James street.He generally forgot to take any luncheon unless reminded of it.He personally overlooked everything going on in the Survey, wrote four reports annually himself, and when these were being printed visited Mr.Lovell\u2019s establishment daily and read the proofs.He kept all the accounts himself, aud besides all that carried on a large correspondence, The fur- nitare of his room in the building was of the rudest material, his bed at night being a folding chair on which he slept roiled up in camp blankete.One thing that struck a visitor was the Jarge number of old boots arranged arourd one side of the room.After 1861 a great slab stone occupied one side of the apartment.Sir William would gaze on it lovingly every morning while dressing.He was NOT MUCH OF A SWZLL IN HIS DRESS, sad, having purchased a new overcoat in 1862, wore it every winter until he left in 1874.His clothes were worn such a length of time that they seemed to have adapted themselves to the man, When his boots were worn out he would send out his man to purchase three or four pairs at a time.He constantly wore a real beaver hat with long fur toit, and one day every one was astonished to behold Sir William in a shining new silk hat.It aflerwarda transpired that it belonged to another gentleman, and had been assumed by Sir William in a fit of absence of mind.His simple dress enabled him to preserve his incognito when in the city, and the lecturer here related how a gentleman had for years mistaken the caretaker of the building for the chief of the Survey.It Sir William\u2019s dress was unpretentious in the city it was absolutely careless when in the bush, being covered with earth and dust, and patched in every portion.The lecturer here related several anecdotes of some humorous mistakes made on account of this carelessness of dress, and related two amusing stories about how Sir William had been mistaken by the natives for a lunatic while prosecuting his geological labors at Perce, and afterwards thought to be crazy by a caleche driver at Quebec.The lecturer then gave various instances of Sir William\u2019s exactness in measuring distances, one 1n particular, where, being disturbed in his count by a dog\u2019s rushing at him, he trudged back and measured the last mile over again, in order to be sure.Be resented any questioning of the work of his assistants, espousing their cause as if it was his own, and to this phase of his character might be set down the esprit du corps that always prevailed among the staf at that period.As an example of his CAREFULNESS IN OTHER MATTERS, once, when reading the proofs of his report, a doubt arose as to whether a man\u2019s name which appeared therein should be spelt with an \u201ca\u201d or an Sir William would not allow the report to be bound until he had written to Terre- bonne to the man and ascertained just how this name was spelt.The staff used to work long hours in those days, Sir Wil liam himself working from 5 a.m., to 7 + peminis a 3 pm and then toall hours of the night.¢ could\u2019do with very little sleep, but this told on him in the end.He was very reluctant to give up the Survey and it Was only onthe advice of Dr.Tracey that he finally retired.When in the field he always carried home his own specimens and no matter how heavy the bags were would not allow any one to relieve him of them.He always paid particular attention to the crystalline rocks, and was always on the look out for palæogovicapecimens.A certain Yankee observing this said \u201cHE JUST GLOATS OVER HIS PUTREFACTIONS.\u201d After working all day in the bush, Sir William would spend half the night writing and when candles gave out would make the men burn pine torches to enable him to continue his task.Oneot the great secrets of his success was his fine sense of justice.He always gave credit to his assistants.Auother attribute was his great modesty, for though a man of immense knowledge, he never obtruded his learning.but would listen patiently while another less informed than himself displayed his ignorance.When any of his assistants got into scrapes le always interested himself in their behalf.He was very fond of his staff and always spoke in the most flattering terms of them.Sir William was a Presbyterian from his birth, but made no show of religion, and although he never went to church and invariably avoided religious discus sions had

the number of insurgents killed and wounded is unknown, but, as they had.their choice of posi- lives were lost.ten tion, their losses are probably not as large as the police and English settlers, The Mounted Police were outnumbered, and were obliged to retreat to Carlton, where they met Col.Irvine, who had just arrived.This temperary success is the worst thing that could have happened to the half-breeds, for they will be led to believe that in their struggle with \u2018the Government there is a chance of their being successful.But the Government are taking prompt measures to put down the revolt.Troopsare ordered from Quebec, Montsegl and Kingston.Those to be sent are \u201c A\u201d Battery from Quebec, which is now on its way to the front, and \u201c B\u201d Battery from Kingston, which will take the route to-day, and the 65th Battalion of Montreal is also ordered out for active service.Five hundred men have been ordered from Toronto, and several hundred have already gone forward from Winnipeg.They are to be conveyed by the Canadian Pacific Railway, The advantage of having the road so near to completion is now very apparent.The track is laid for the whole of the distance to the Rocky Mountains except a :gap north of Lake Superior which Sir John Macdonald says is seventy miles, but we have heard from a gentleman well acquainted with the present condition of the road that itis only forty-five miles, The track even there is graded, so that there will be but little trouble and not much time lost in conveying men and material over the gap.Iltis to be hoped that these troops, with the Mounted Police, will form a force sufficient to put down the rising, It is evident, from the latest developments, that a strong demonstration is now needed to ensure peace in the North-West, and it is to be hoped that the most ample precautions will be taken to that end.NEWFOUNDLAND RETALIATES.Yesterday Messrs.John Baird & Co, who are largely interested in the Newfoundland trade, received the following important information by telegraph from the President of the St.John\u2019s Chamber of Commerce :\u2014 St.Jomn\u2019s, Nld,, March 27, 1885, To John Baird & Co., Montreal :\u2014 Acquaint all interested in the Newfoundland trade, including steamships and railways, that the Assembly have passed the following additions to last year\u2019s tariff, after first July :\u2014 \u201c In addition to foregoing tariff there shall be collected on goods, wares and merchandise imported into Newfoundland from countries which enjoy the unrestricted privilege of taking fish in Newfoundland waters, and which countries levy duties on the produce of Newfoundland fisheries when taken and exported by Newfoundland citizens to such coun- SCHEDULE.Flour, seventy-five cents; pork, one butter, seventy-five cents per hundred pounds ; tobacco, five cents per pound ; kerosene oil, five cents per gallon ; cornmeal, fifty-two and one-half cents per barrel.\u201d The effect will be, unless Canada alters her tariff or gives her Government unrestricted discretion to suspend action with regard to Newfoundland, that all trade between the two countries will cease after July.(Signed), R.THORBURN, President Chamber of Commerce.There is now a field opened for liplemacy.We do not for a moment uppese that either of the interested tovernments desires to destroy the trade etween Canada and Newfoundland, \u2018lthough their legislation has sueh an gly look.Evidently, being composed f gentlemen of sane mind, they cannot tean what they say.However, we hope tev will agree on such reciprocal trade dations as will be mutually advantage.18\u2014aud that before the season of navi- , WHAT TBEY SAY IN ENGLAND.- We have already quoted from the London Times, London Standard, London Trutk and London World comments on the collapse of Grand Trunk securities, These comments were universally unfavorable to the management and in sympathy withthe shareholders.Later ad- vices from England bring the comments of the financial journals, The Economist [March 14] says the collapse was \u201cso \u201cstartling as to be almost dramatic in its \u201cnature.Nothing so meagre as a barren \u201c12s 6d per cent (on first preference) had \u201cbeen dreamt of.This is a strange \u201cchange from two years ago when the \u201cfirst preference, now the football of the \u201cmarket, was quoted as high as 119 and \u201cwas so firmly held that it had practically \u201cpassed out of the speculative sphere \u201caltogether.\u201d After alluding to the general condition of railway trafficin America and the contest between the Grand Trunk aed the Canadian Pacific\u2014for the latter of which the Economist has had no special love\u2014that journal says: It would be an arduous task to determine upon whom the blame would.fall for the strife between the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific, for no doubt each side believes that it has a most convine- ing case; but one point is fairly open to discussion and judgment, and that is, the policy of the Grand Trunk so far as regards its growth as a system, This policy seems to have been somewhat reckless in character.The want of success attending the fusion with the Great Western, which may have choked competition, but has certainly not reduced expenses in anything like the way anticipated, was a grave warning, But it had no effect.An expensive policy has been pursued with a pure disregard of comnse- quences, which, coinciding with the adverse causes referred to above, has brought the company into a most difienlt position, À \u201cgreat system\u201d seems a phrase to conjuré with on the other side of the Atlantic, whether in Canada or the United States, and the best instance of its abuse is the unfortunate Wabash, What is wanted is, not a vast system of mileage, with low earning power, but a compact road, free from duplications and expensive suckers, which can be worked at a moderate expense.If this ideal had been kept in view, it would have acted as a wholesome corrective to misplaced ambition.The Grand Trunk will now have to sadly count the cost of some of its acquired and leased lines, which seem in many instances \u2018to have done nothing but to pile up unbearable liabilities.The Bullionist (March 14) has a lengthy article entitled \u2018The only way to save the Grand Trunk.\u201d We need not summarize the contents of this remarkable articles here as we have copied it in full on another page.It is sufficient to say that it demands the removal of the present Grand Trunk management and urges that \u2018there be a resident board in Cauada.It calls attention to the mismanagement in Canada and in London, Mr.Hickson having full swing in the Dominion, while the guinea pigs\u201d of the London board were undertaking to manage sixty- eight companies besides the Grand Trunk !! The extraordinary depreciation of shares, which the Bullionist speaks of as \u201cterrible,\u201d the steady increase of expenses in \u2018proportion to the revenue, the broken promises of the management, the steady drifting of the railway\u2019s affairs from bad to worse until they have reached à point which the Bullionist describes as \u201cdesperate,\u201d are all portrayed in a striking manner, the whole forming one of the most vivid descriptions of the actual condition of the road, as seen from an English\u2019 stand-point, that we remember to have read.It will be noticed that while the Econ- omvist calls attention to the Jingo policy of Sir Henry Tyler and Mr.Hickson in attempting to put down all competition by the absorption or persecution of all other Canadian railways in behalf of \u201ca great system,\u201d the Bullionist is at pains to show that gross mismanagement of the road itself has steadily prevailed.THE HERALD has laid stress on all the points raised in those journals, and it has also advocated the residence of the Company\u2019s board in Canada which the Bullionist now favors.We could fill columns with the comments of the English press on the great collapse.It is enough to say that we have not read anywhere a line indicative of confidence in the Board or the management, or any hopeful view of the Company\u2019s future while the management remains in present hands, In .fact, there appears to be a general agreement on the advisability and the absolute necessity of \u201csweeping reforms\u201d which will relieve the enterprise of the incubus of the Tyler- Hickson regime.There can no longer be auy doubt in regard to the sweeping changes in store for this road, and the country is to be congratulated on the fact.Any change must be for the better.\u2014 THE C.P.R.TRACR.\u2014Mr.Abbott has completed track-laying on his (eastern) division, north of Lake Superior, and is now laying track on the western division west of Dog Lake, say 675 miles from Montreal and 320 miles from Port Arthur.The whole of the grading on the western division is completed, there remaining only about 45 miles of track to lay on that division to give complete connection with Winnipeg and the country west.This piece of track-laying will be completed on the 15th of April, The trip from Montreal to Winnipeg, it is expected, will for the first few months take about 65 hours, but, when the road has been well opened and fully ballasted, it will be made in 50 hours.A LATE TELEGRAM from the North- West informs us that the ice is moving out of

-Great Britain and Russia, a short enquiry into the strength of the latter country may not be out of place.Looking atthe Russian Empire on the map one would naturally conclude that it is a very strong country and a very formidable au taronist to any nation that might venture to try conclusions with it.But it will be observed that the Czar\u2019s dominion extends over a very wide afee, that some parts of it are thinly peopled and that the inhahi- tants of other parts are not likely to ke very well affected towards his rule.Po- Jand, for instance, is not likely willingly to make many sacrifices to extend its Imperial master\u2019s dominion in Southern Asia, The inhabitants of Corsica have not been under Russian rule long enough to become completely Russianized, Their loyalty would not bear any very great strain, The same may be said of the people who inhabit Russia\u2019s latest acquisitions in Central Asia, They have been conquered by the superior intelligence, organization, and discipline of the Russians, and it is but natural that they should feel the new yoke to be galling and that they would eagerly embrace any opportunity that might seem to them favorable of throwing it off.Then there are included under Russian rule many alien races who even in the piping times of peace are not enthusiastically loyal, and who, in time of war, could not be depended upon 4s an element of strength.Russia then is not a compact country, and its population is not homogeneous, Of the one hundred and two millions .that inhabit that vast empire there are not more than forty millions of pure Russians, The other sixty-two millions are Poles, Jews, Roumanians, Turks, Finns, Caucasians, Cossacks, and other Tartar tribes.The fighting capacity of Russia cannot be correctly estimated without taking into consideration the strength of her immediate neighbors and her relations with them, When it is known that it requires 900,000 men to garrison Russia\u2019s German and Austro-Hungarian frontier, and it is not considered safe to reduce the garrisons below that number, it can readily be seen that the part of Ruseia\u2019s immense army that is available for a foreign war is comparatively small.But Austria and Germany are only two of Russia\u2019s neighbors.The others are Turkey, Persia, Afghanistan, China on the south, and Sweden on the northwest.Some of these countries have no great reason to love their big neighbor, and if they found her engaged in a deadly struggle with a formidable antagonist they might regard the opportunity as a favorable one for putting in old claims and for settling old scores, In this way they might, and probably would, embarrass Russia.In order to conduet à war with any chance of ultimate success, a nation must have money as well as men.This is so emphatically the case that money has been called from ancient times ¢ the sinews bf war.\u201d But Russia\u2019s sinews are at this present moment in an exceedingly attenuated condition, She is known fo be in a condition not very far removed from bank- ruptey.To begin war with an empty treasury and a credit well-nigh exhausted is not the part of wisdom and does not bode much for its success.And such is the state of public morals in Russia that the Government ig never sure that the money which it orders to be expended upoa war material will be honestly applied to that purpose.Corruption is rampant in Russia, and the thieves of all grades would hail a foreign war, with its profuse expenditure and its many opportunities of plundering the tax-payers, with delight.It is said that Russia has upwards of 90,000 men ready at a very short notice to invade Afghanistan.These men must be fed and provided with the munitions of war.The country in which the war is to be carried on is poor, and the Russian territory near is sparsely peopled, and capable of contributing but little to the support of an army.Al supplies must therefore be brought to the invading army from an immense distance and at a great expense.If the invading force is increased, as no doubt it will have to be, the expense of keeping it in the field will be a tremendous drain on the Russian exchequer, which, as we have said, is already nearly depleted, The war will not, of course, be confined to Afghanistan.Every ssaport in the Russian domains will be in danger, and the Russian merchant marine will be in all likelihood driven from the seas.This will cripple Russian resources still more, and what is worse, will make the war unpopular with the classes on which the Government must depend for the means to carry it on.When all things are considered, it will be seen that, although the Russian Empire is of immense extent, its population large and its resources greaf, the Czar, if he goes to war with England, will find that he has his hands full The Government and people of Great Britain evidently take this view of the situation, for they are preparing for war with cheerful alacrity, and seem to have no misgivings Russia is forced upon them, \u2014_\u2014\u2014 INsIDE PAGES.\u2014On page 2, financial and commercial news, markets, etc.; page 3, report of

Canada commit offences against the spirit of the railway laws by discriminating unjustly as between shippers, giving special advantages to favored localities and arranging their tariff as against the interests of other localities, charging excessive rates, ete.Such charges, no doubt, frequently rest upon no solid foundation, but in other cases it is to be regretted that good cause exists for such complaints.It would be well for railways to remember that ther have an interest in common with the public, and, quite apart from their legal obligations, their permanent interest is best secured by a due regard for the welfare.of their patrons, the public, The railway system of Canada may be divided into two great classes, one consisting of the main trunk lines carrying the wealth of the country to the sea-board on its way to the European market, the other consisting of those branch lines which serve the back country.The former will always have to encounter, as competitors, the great water system and the American trunk lines, whilst the branch lines, having no such rivals, will always enjoy amongst themselves a monopoly of the carrying trade for the country served by them.+ Now, the development of this portion of the country and the welfare of the inhabitants in such districts are of vital importance to the whole Dominion, and any railway policy that militates against either of such desirable objects operates against our national prosperity.® These remarks are specially appropriate in view of a bill introduced into the House of Commons by Mr.Mulock on Thursday to amend the Railway Acts, and of his remarks explaining its provisions, In the course of his observations the honorable gentleman shewed the necessity for legislation on the subject by mentioning some of the practices of the Northern Railway: system, and if it should turn out that such charges are well founded, and that no remedies at present exist, Parliament cannot too soon address itself to a removal of all foundation for such grievances.It does seem to us most unjust that, for example, a railway should, by virtue of its powers, direct traffic from its natural and shortest route to market in order that this traffic may be thereby compelled fo pass over more railway mileage and pay a corresponding increase of rates, If such traffic is to be diverted, it certainly shoull be at no cost to the shipper in excess of the rates payable for the shorter haulage.To come to particulars, it appears that the Northern Railway carries grain shipped at Cookstown for Toronto northerly several miles, to Allandale, in order to meet its main line, and thence southerly to Toronto, a distance in all of seventy- nine miles, charging eleven cents per hundred pounds on grain, whilst a mach shorter route exists, but which unfortunately is not available, owing to the fast that a small portion of such shorter route is controlled by the Northern Railway.Several other abuses were pointed out, all of which, it is hoped, will, at an early date, be considered and remedied.We cannot too strongly impress upon the railways of Canada and upon Parliament that the development of the country may be largely promoted or retarded by the action of the varfous railways ; that whatever adds to our population and business adds to the volume of the carrying trade ; that railways derive their powers solely from Parliament, and which must be exercised with some regard to the public interest.lf AN OPPOSITION BLUNDER.The opinion of the country will be that the Opposition in Parliament has been too eager to make party capital of the North- West troubles.Whatever latent discon- ctent has existed in the North-West has been cultivated and encouraged by the Toronto Globe during the past two years, greatly to the disgust of all who are prepared to place country before party ; and quarter the movements of party men are jealously scanned to see how far party feeling and party desirss will carry our public men in opposition to the public well, being.If Riel is a disturber of the peace, if his conduct is calculated to dishonor Canada and heap expense upon the tax-payers, he ought not to find encouragement, intentional or otherwise, in a Canadian Parliament.As a matter of fact, however, he is receiving encouragement from the tactics of the Opposition.The speeches of the leading members of the Opposition, when Riel has learned of them, will stiffen his back and increase his pretensions, He will justly reason that since the Opposition were thus brought to take advantage of his movements in order to embarrass the Government, his interests will be served by giving all possible trouble to the Government, trusting to the latter coming to terms with him in order to close the mouths of the Opposition.The temptation to prolong his mischievous acts is therefore increased by what most persons will regard as a wholly uncalled for Parliamentary demonstration.No public interest would have suffered by the Opposition\u2019s silence, or their withholding their hands from attacking the Government until after the \u201crising\u201d had beensup- pressed.It is easy enough for party leaders to assume to be caring for the public interests in their party manoeuvres, but the public are more intelligent than party manipulators believe them to be ; and the demonstration by the Opposition in the Commons now that there is actual trouble in that.on Thuriday night will be treated as a capital even at the expense of playing into Riel\u2019s hands, If the Government bave unduly delayed the settlement of certain grievances, or did not take the necessary steps to deprive Riel of.combustible material for creating a blaze in the North-West, the country will deal wihthem in due time.Their offence, however, gives the Opposition no right to cummit quite as great an offence against the public good by bringing the subject up in Parliament prematurelysand taking action which Riel will hail with delight as playing into his hands, Hen AdneyFonuents.PARTNER WANTED, Rarechance for Person worlh from Ten to Twenty Thousand Dollars to go into an established Whol.sale Business in the City of

Last week we referred to the geveral feeling of disappointment at.the meagre result shown by the January working statement of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada.It is almost unnecessary to state that this feeling was considerably accentuated by the announcement, on Saturday last, of the miserable dividend, at the rate of 14 per cent.per annum for the past six months, on the first preference stock.Bearing in mind the working statements to the end of November and the traffic returns for December, this was as good a result LY WAY TO SAVE THE GRAND TRUN expect.ss far as we can judge by the figures already published, we fear the worst is not yet disglosed ; and we await, with no very hopeful feeling, the publication of the full accounts, to which we shall refer in order to discover the disposal cf the Suspense Account which figured for £100,800 in the e balance sheet, June eng that this account, as then brought forward,represented the proportion \u2018to that date of the special renewal expendi- ure chargeable to revenue, us foreshadowed vy the Chairman at the general meeting in March, 1883, it appears to us that, if it has uot been already written off to revenue \u2014of which there is no evidence in the firmres thus far made public\u2014it will have 10 be so disposed of before the auditors can ass the accounts for 1884.We see no other way of dealing with this formidable item, even should the effect of this course be to nullify the dividend announcement made lust Saturday, subject to audit, by reducing the balance available for dividends to a sum insufficient to pay \u201c guaranteed\u201d stock more than 10s.per cent.for the half - year ; the adjustment rendered necessary by what would thus appear to have been a wrongful payment to Firat Preference at June being fleft for some future date.At what date this necessary adjustment will be made it is at present difficult to A couniog to the subject of the dividend for the \u201cfat\u201d half of the year 1884, we cannot refrain from saying it appears to us that under the Tyler-Hickson regime the affairs of this Company ARE DRIFTING FROM BAD TO WORSE, and are, in fact, arriving rapidly at that stage which can be described by no milder term than \u2018\u2018 desperate.\u201d The promises held-out by Sir Henry Tyler to the proprietors from time to time have lead only to disappointment, and whereas we remember tuat only a vear ago the chairman was explaining why the Third Preference Stock could only receive a dividend of 3} per cent., the question is now rapidly coming to the fronf whether the Debentures are entirely safe.The roevof the evil undoubtedly is the tremendously heavy expense at which the railway is worked.atterly the percentage of expenditure to revenue has become heavier and heavier, This is clearly shown by the following tables which we bave prepared from the company\u2019s own statistics.It would, perhaps, be unfair to prese, by way of comparison, that well- managed Knglish railways are worked at 53 to 55 per cent, of their gross receipts.In the case of the Grand Trunk Railway, working expenses have ag steadily increased as revenue hag declined, This is certainly peculiar, but 1t is nevertheless {rue as exemplified by the subjoined data.PERCENTAGE OF WORKING EXPENSES TO TRAFFIC RECEIPTS.1883, 1884, Toni 818) July.69-22 72:56 January.75\" 33 TULY.000 22 72° r.80°75 7489 August.68'79 73-09 February.807% Tost Bopiomber.6420 68-64 7318 October.63:83 68-94 7111 November .66°11 77°60 64-42 December,*about 81.00 73:04 | Average of .5months.65:16 Average of 6 months about 73\u20185 Ai the general meeting ot the proprietors in April last Sir Henry Tyler admitted that in 1883 Mr.Hickson had been *¢ dealing with expenses in a too liberal manner,\u201d he said, make Averageofô months.7209 possible A CORRESPONDING REDUCTION in the expenses of 1884 ; and he announced a saving of 25,0007 inthe coal contracts made for that year, and of 72,0002.in the estimate for maintenance of permanent way.Turing tothe «ccounts of June 30, 1884, we find 1n the half-year a saving of 20,0004.in fuel, of 21,5007.in other locomotive expenses, and of 75,0004.in permanent way charges ; and yet in all these, excepting the last, so fur from a saving in proportion to the trafies, the per centage was actually higher.In other words, notwithstanding the previous liberal outlay, and in the face of the chairman\u2019s promiees, the reduction 1n expenses did not keep pace with the falling off in receipte.With regard to the socalled economy in charges for permanent way, It would be interesting to learn how far this was effected by carrying expenditure to the Suspense Account\u2014an account which we recommend proprietors to insist upon having clearly and thoroughly explained.The reference made thereto by the chaur- man at the last general meeting was too hazy to convey & definite idea of its purge., The great consideration, however, which the proprietors should bear in mind, and which we have from time to time urged upon their notice, and also upon that of the directors, is the enormous cost of working the railway.The concern is being eaten up with expenses, and these, as we bave shown, get heavier every month, despite the monthly decrease in re venue.THE PROBLEM which requires solution, therefore, is this : \u2014\u201c Can the ratlway be more economically | administered 2 If so, and if Mr.Hickson, upon whom the onus of responsibility w pears to rest, will not, or cannot, adapt his policy to the requirements of the case, then let the Board appoint a man better fitted for the post.If the fault, however, is with the Board in failing to exercise proper control over their manager, then in the interests of the whole body of propriclors, Jrom debenture-holders downwards, lei a more efficient Board take their place, competent and determined to save the finest and most important railway properly in the Dominion.The interest which * debenture-holders have in placing the management of the railway on a more satisfactory basis is obvious.Because it is only necessary to point out\u2014even supposing there are no .more decreases in traffic, and no more increases in expenses, during the remaining four months of the current half-year\u2014that it is doubtful whether the net result of the sixmonths\u2019 working will be sufficient to meet the usual fixed charges.The following Sgures point to this uncertainty :\u2014 TEE Fixed charges (rentals, interest on subsidiary lines and debenture interest), samo ag last half-year 1,87 ; 37,405 Hali-years\u2019 proportion of special renewal expenditure, as announced by thechairman in Mareh, 1883.vv inne) Balance remaining for dividends, provided traffies and expenses for Maich, April, May and June equal those of the corresponding months OË 1884 assoc sacs ass ua 0ce 0000 £3,455 With expenses month after montun at more than 80 per ceut.;

with a heavy balance of suspense account (representing current expenditure) ranking amongst the assets ; and with debenture interest in jeopardy, surely no further evidence cau be required of THE NECESSITY FOR A SWEEPING REFORM in the adminietration of all branches of the Company?s affairs and in the regulation of its accounts.That such a reform is necessary no one will deny.The shrinkage in the value in the market price of the property, and the loss of income which has proceeded from the lamentable results of the past two years\u2019 working call for it.What the shrinkage of value alone has been is evident by the following comparison of the highest prices of the various atocks in 1883, with those current at the time when we write :\u2014 33,750 Grand Trunk 1883 1885 First preferetco.coe vivareen 00e 1084 52 Second ditto .99% .33 Third dilto .62% 1 Ordinary stock 23% 7 The lesson of these tell-tale figures, to put matters plainly, is simply terrible.And whence the cause?We admit that it is in sore measure attributable to the depression of railway business, and also to competition.Ample allowance can be made for this, but even then it should not bring us within measurable distance of the almost hopeless coliapze which now threatens this grand property.The only way to save the Grand Trunk Railway is, as we have stated, to institute a THOROUGH REFORM, ROOT AND BRANCH, in the administration of the company.As at present constituted, it is at once autocratic and bureaucratic.Sir Henry Tyler and Mr.Renton in London, and Mr.Hick- son in Canada, virtually hold the reins of office, and comport themselves as if the many millions which are sunk in the railway have been subscribed for no other reason than their own personal aggrandizement, It may be argued that the administration.of the \u2018company is not entirely vested in the hands of Sir Henry Tyler and Mr.Hickson, and that the remaining members of the hoard may, or should be, responsible for what the proprietors have now now to face.We admit both propositions, but we demur to the conclusion, Sir Henry Tyler has evidently no power over Mr.Hickson, or he would have exercised it long ago, and the members of the London Board are apparently in the hands of Sir Henry.Amongst them they have undertaken far too much on the boards of other companies to render the discharge of their duties possible.This the following list of the various directorial engagements of the board will show :\u2014 Numb r of Boards on which each director serves :\u2014 Sir W.H.Tyler, M.P.\u20260cosonersonesunc00 Sir C.L.LONG.\u2026.\u2026.10cr00san0srereecaac vie J.CHAFIES.\u2026ccasan 000000 Major Dickson, M.P Hoa, J.Ferrier.R.Gillespie Lord Claud Hamilton .W.Heygate.cer J.MArnham.\u2026\u2026\u2026sssrsrersoonesssove senc couse Ra YOUNE.0vssovarensouven sado trous Os uns Amongst them these gentlemen endeavour to administer sixty-nine companies.How they manage sixty-eight of them it is not our business to'inquire?We, writin on behalf of the hundreds of impoverishe and distressed proprietors of the Grand Trunk Railway, are entitled to judge them by their work ; and we assert that the present directors HAYE IGNOMINIOUSLY FAILED in their office, and that it is time that they should be removed, The day is past for experiment, and also for sentiment.The proprietors owe the board no gratitude, and if they are alive to their own interests they will at the meeting in April next insist on the undermentioned reforme :\u2014 (1.) A thorough reconstitution of the board, the members of which should be reduced in number, but each a practical railway man, paid well, on the pledge that his whole time should be devoted to the interest of the proprietors.(2.) Part of the board to reside in Canada, and direct and restrain the ambition of their manager, which is at present apparently impossible.As affairs now exist, the will of one man, in Canada deranges the Intentions and plans of ten men in Lor- on.Whether the proprietors will combine for these ends remains to be seen.= .10.HAMA AI OD ceive * The returns for December, 1883, including subsidiary

shorthand report will see, some little progress has been made with THE GOVERNMENT BILL TO AMEND THE INSURANCE ACT oF 1877.When the many advocates, professional and otherwise, of either principle had ceased and the discussion became limited to members of the committee, the question in its naked truthfulness was presented.Should foreign assessment companies (that is, for the moment, the New York Mutual) be allowed to carry on business in Canada or should they not?All the rest is leather and prunella.The several motions of Mr.Dalton McCarthy, though fair to the eye, were Dead Sea apples to-the Finance Minister and the assessment companies\u2019 supporters.Nearly the whole morning was spent in determining whether a preamble proposed by him or one pre- sed by Mr.Curran should be accepted.either the lay members of the committee nor the lawyers themselves could for a long time discover that there was any essential difference between them, but as it was known that Mr.McCarthy was advocating the interests of the old line insurance companies, while Mr, Curran was on the opposite side, it was felt that a gentleman of color was secreted in some portion of the divigional paling, and that it was desirable to have him out.Mr.Mitchell, who seems to bea strong supporter of the assessment companies, and others, who disliked being mystified, wrestled with the question until the fact was disclosed that these two gentlemen, learned and artful in the law, did not at all mean the same thisg, and that Mr.Dalton McCarthy\u2019s preamble was the sharpening of the spear, while Mr.Cur- ran\u2019s was a strengthening of the shield.The feeling of the committee being that the assessment companies\u2019 of the United States should be allowed to carry on business in Canada,Mr.Curran\u2019s preamble was adopted.This is practically the only point yet definitely established by the committee, but it will meet again to-morrow and proceed to the consideration of the conditions under which such corporations shall be allowed to range in Canadian fields.OrrawA, March 27.The Committee on Banking and Commerce had before them the amended Iusur- ance Bill and made some progress on the lines favorable to the assessment corb- panies.Upon Mr.Curran\u2019s amendment that the Finance Minister might call for further deposits from mutual companies \u201cas might be in the interest of Canadian policy holders,\u201d Mr.Macmaster moved, as an amendment to the amendment, seconded by Hon.Peter Mitchell, that these words be struck out as misleading and tending to the committee and the amendment to the amendment was carried unanimously.The librarian appointment resolutions have not yet been moved, but in the meantime Senator Plumb is, and for a long time has been, reading the Forinighily - Review, which will be returned to the library by and by.THE RIEL DERATE.When, after recess last night, the Finance Minister moved that the House do go into Committee of the Whole to consider ways and means, Mr.Blake rose, and, as he said, using his constitutional right, moved an amendment fo1 the bringing before the notice of Parliament that had brought about the present difficulties.His object was to show that, by Sir John\u2019s admissions, the French half- breeds of the North-West had for a length of time suffered from official neglect, and for in view of its possible results they ha settlement at St.Albert.deliveries, he caused some amusement b enquiring what Sir John would do wit the House of he might catch Riel while at the time he was providing means for his escape.The main poifits that Mr.Blake insisted upon were\u2014that the Government had evidently known of this smouldering disquiet, and had allowed the sense\u2019 of injury to grow without taking proper means of ascertaining the requirements of these half-breede, and that having taken such an extreme step as calling out the militia and despatching all three arms of the service to the scene of what he had told the House was a mere local riot, he was bound to lay before Parliament the reports of officials and other correspondence on thesubject.Sir John,who had heard sentence after sentence with gathering discontent, rose immediately after Mr.Blake had sat down, and replied in_a speech delivered with more vigor and in more declamatory style than any I have yet heard from him.It was in marked contrast with his usual conversational style; perhaps in the circumstances it was necessary to be indignant and denunciatory ot his chief opponent; but though of tha order that commands the demonstrative support of the party, it was less convincing to listeners than others he sometimes makes, and inferior a8 a work of art to those exphuiatory conversational efforts that, since Palmerston, he has no equal in making, in which the most awkward appearances are given new features, and the sharpest angles turned with apparent ease, and a degree of candour presented that warrants the party in voting straight, which, after all, is what is chiefly desired.Still it was persuasive, for although tolerably familiar with the his- tory of the Red River insurrection, I was beginning to get dreadfully puzzled last PARLIAMENTARY NOTES.give applicants for policies a false sense of security.This removed the objections of urpose of the state of affairs in the North-West Territories, and the action or want of it that the Government were not ignorant of the serious discontent they were creating last year garrisoned Fort Carlton with mounted police, with the avowed object of being within striking distance of the French In the course of his speech, which, though prepared at this short notice, was one of his most effective Riel if he caught him, and then reminded ic John\u2019s

and then hand it to Sir Richard Cartwright, When Sir John sat down, Sir Richard arose, and it is prob- \u2018able that the party felt that there had been some weak point in Sir John\u2019s discourse because they endeavored to drown his voice with discordant noises.And the weakness was quickly made ap- evidence of Archbishop Tache which showed clearly enough that the old verdict of the country was correct enough, and that Sir John was not the injured individual I had been in danger of taking lim for.While on the subject of last nights debate, it may be as well to remind Dr.Fortin and other playful members on both aides that the interruption by de-k_ creaking and other noises of leading speakers on either side is a game that two can play at, and when adopted in retaliation is likely to be carried a great deal further than is pleasant or ccnveoient.DOMINION PARLIAMENT Third Session\u2014Fifth Parliament.\u2014\u2014 HOUSE OF COMMONS.\" Orrawa, March 27, 1885.The Speaker took the chair at 3.o\"clock, Sir John Macdonald moved concurrence in the message from the Senate requesting the Commons to unite with them in the formation of a Joint Committee to examine the report of the Consolidation Commis- gioners.Mr.Blake objected to the appointment of a Joint Commission for this purpose, because there was no precedent for it, He contended, further, that thé motion was brought up to late in the session, and that there was not sufficient time for a Committee to properly perform the work before the close of the session.; Sir John A.Macdonald eaid the question was not whether there was zny precedent for the course proposed but whether there was any against it.They were without precedent from England in regard to this subject, because England had not for many years required to consolidate her laws.After some remarks by Messre.Mills and Davies the motion was carried.Sir John À.Macdonald, replying to an enquiry previously made by Mr.Blake, said that the total area of land within the 48 mile belt exdmined by the Canadian Pacific Railway beiween Winnipeg and Calgary between Red River and Dirt Hills was 7,315,200 acres, of which eighty-nine and four-fifths per cent., or 6,561,920 acres have been accepted by the Company.Whether the remaining ten and one-fifth were justly rejected or not, was a matter of adjustment between the Government and the Company.Mr.Blake at this stage put a question in regard to calling out the artillery militia, which, with Sir John\u2019s reply, appears in another column.| .The House went into Committee of Ways and Means, and took up the first item in the resolution relating to woolen rags.At six o'clock the Spesker left the chair, } AFTER RECHSS, #~ Sir John Macdonald made a lengthy statement in regard to the half-breed troubles,

consists of coquelicots.These wild red poppies are clustered together near the.top of the bonnet, while from: their centre rises a bunch of poppies and green leaves, The long wide strings are of red velvet, satin faced.: The next imported bonnet that particu larly attracted me was the box-plaited straw poke, olive brown in tone, The face trimming is of box-plaited red velvet to fit in this box-plaited straw.The full crown is ot brown embroidered net over a gilt lining.The top trimming is composed of a large cluster of wallflowers and grasses for aigrettes.The strings are of olive brown velvet.À golden brown capote is composed of golden brown embroidery arranged in form of two box-plaits for the crown.Same color net forms the bonnet.A wreath of yellow daisies forms the face trimming.The pompon arrangement is made of yellowish brown ostrich plumes encircled with bright yellow velvet ribbon icons, The strings are of golden bronze.An English Round Has ia dotted with straw buttons, and is of pale tan \u2018straw The brim is faced with tinsel and a fringe of dangling straw buttons.The trimming is a scarf of shaded gilt net, including in lig shading the colors of the cultivated English double butter-cups, and tender green leaves.The Scoteh Turban is made of velvet and crepe de Ghine.The full front is of greenish brown, trimming of crepe de Chine scarf, with embroidery of some beige color and tinsel and green.On the side of this Scotch turban, is a bird perched upon a variety of plumage, that seemingly natural melts\u2014so to speak\u2014 in harmony with above described colors.The aigrettes are of gilt.Imagine the garish effect! The above examples, kind kinsmen, may be employed in a variety of combinations, I do not tell you who manufactured this artistic head-gear because it would be of no avail.I know they are genuine.Tve positive proof.Any milliner well posted in her trade ought to be able to combine from the description, any amount of beau- tif2l \u2018bonnets.Later shall vou have more crews on this subject Colored straw hats are fine and glossy like satin.Straw efamine is to be among the novelties.1t is an exquisite shade of cafe au lait, embroidered in the varying colors, each design being mixed with tinsel of gold bronze or silver.This fabric is used for the soft crowns of the capote, not close-fitting poke just spoken of.Plain crepe for bonnets, and in all colors, is among the spring novelties.This is combined with straw or velvet.The latest bonnet-pins for the bow in front are an inch and a.half long, and represent tiny flowers in enamel.The daisy aud larger violét are among the favorites.Dutterflies-of all sorts and sizes, made of gold or silver ; filagree and colored chenille, look well placed on the bow of a lady\u2019s cap, and can be worn on theatre bonnets with, pleasing effect.THEATRICAL GOSSIP.On Tuesday evening \u2018last, Herr Adolf Sonnenthal bade an affectionate farewell Claire\u201d This news somewhat surprises .Papercevant, vint la saluer et lui parler, THE MONTREAL HERALD, .AND .filled to overflowing the Thalia Theatre.The piece presented was an adaptation of George Sand\u2019s \u2018\u2018 Marquis de Villemur.\u201d The great actor showed all his skill, and by his graceful bearing, great naturalness, vividness and force, added another leaf to the laurel \u2018crown so deservedly worn during his too short stay in this city.I had had the pleasure of witnessing Herr Sonnenthal\u2019s impersonations of three roles, Kun, Hamlet, and the one just referred to, and can but confirm the popular verdict tlfat à great actor has given us more than the promised reat.New methods are open tous.Conceptions of bygone dramatists that ought to be enrolled in the plays of to-day.For it-is by what we feel and breathe of our present that we can properly measure the heights and depths of 80 brilliant an intellect as that of the accomplished Austrian who has just left our shores.Mr.Gustav Amberg, aud the entire management of the Thalia Theatre, deserve the individual thanks of a community for inducing Herr Sounenthal to visit us for even soshort a time.© Nanon,\u201d thet charming comic opera, will be nightly produced, dressed in gay costumes, and set with new ecenes, : Mr.Irving continues at the Star, ¢ Diplomacy\u2019\u201d\u2019 at Wallack\u2019s, ¢ A Prisoner for Life\u201d at the Union Square, \u201c The Private Secretary\u201d at the Madison Square, \u2018\u2018 Gas- parone\u201d at the Stendard, and side shows\u2014 so to spealk\u2014at a dozen other places of amusement.The great theatrical event of the coming.spring season is to be the opening of Steele Mackayes Lyceum Theatre.This is promised us on Easter Monday.It is the cyuosure of all eyes, and as\u2019 imarvellous stories are being circulated as to the luxurioueness and richness of its many appointments, the talent of its actors, etec., etc, etc.we may reasonably expect something excellentissimo.I hope to give this new temple a thorough inspection, and will inform you of the digest whenever the open sesame may be submitted to ordinary clay.The first drama will be Dakolar, another version of George Ohnet\u2019s * Lady me, for I fancied that Mr.Mackaye would have given us something entirely novel: Moral\u2014See what an idea well worked out is worth.: LITERARY NOTE I stepped into G.P.Putnam\u2019s Sous, yes terday, and saw an epitome of what these publishers are getting ready for spring.It would seem that there was a great demand for books upon political economy, as well as for history and theology.: The first volume of the complete works of Alexander Hamilton was shown me.Besides its historical value, the book is a model of printing and binding, and is a praiseworthy example of the Messrs, Putnamn\u2019s work in that specialty, The portrait of Alexander Hamilion adorns the first page of the volume, a fine lithograph from a portrait owned by the mother of Mr.Henry Cabot Lodge, of Boston.The set will comprise nine volumes, limited to 500 copies.\u201cThe Story of the Nations\u201d is to consist of a series of graphic historica studies, intended to present to the young the stories of different nations that have attained prominence in history.They begin with Egypt and thus far determined upon include Aesyria, Greece, the Jews, Rome, Carthage, Gaul, Byzantium, Early Britain, Scandinavia, the Goths, the Normans, the Saracens, the Italian Republics, Spain, Germany, Holland, The first volume in readiness will be \u201c Greece,\u201d by Prof.James A.Hamilton;
