Bernier Supposed to Have Caused the Death of J.Roy.ST.CLAIRE PARISH SCENE OF TRAGEDY.A Herald Reporter Secures From Bernier His Story.STRUCK HIM WITH A SHOVEL Whisky Had a Share in the Alleged Crime.The Matter Hushed Up, and Bernier, Says He Did Not Intend to Injure His Cousin, Quebec, Jan.13.\u2014The report that a murder has been committed in the quiet parish of St.Claire, County of Dorches- ter has created a great sensation in Quebec.No newspapers have yet Lcen No.10.able to furnish any clear information of the tragedy, and at the Police Court nothing has been heard of it, although the tragedy took place on New Year's Day and in a place situated but some twenty-five miles from the city.Yesterday the reporter of The Herald drove that distance through lonely country roads, partly covered with snow, and under a temperature of 15 below zero.Away in the back woods he went to seek an interview with Narcisse Bernier, jr., who on the lst inst., it is alleged, killed his cousin Joseph Roy, a well-to-do farmer, of Ste.Marguerite.Strange to say, the report of this alleged tragedy is better known amongst the Quebeckers than by the majority of the people of Ste.Claire, Some farmers of the vicinity are ignorant even of the name of the supposed murderer.They know that Roy died while on a spree, but they seem to be ignorant how it happened.When the reporter of The Herald walked into Narcissa Bernier's house he wag met by an old woman, who, with a sobbing voice, asked him if he had come to take her son away from her and throw him in gaol.Young Bernier, who was working in the stable when the carriage stopped in front of the house, ran to the visitors, and before being addressed, asked if this was the police who were coming to arrest him.Bernier gave the following story of the whole affair :\u2014 \u201cIn the afternoon of New Year's Day last five young fellows, amongst whom was Joseph Roy, came to my house, and asked me to take my horse and rig out and drive with them to one of my uncles, Mr.Elzeard Bernier, some three miles distance.I consented.Before leaving, Roy who was already pretty drunk, took a couple of drinks out of a bottle of whiskey which he exhibited from under his cout, I took my cousin Roy with me in my carriage.Before we had gone half a mile Roy tried to take the reins from my hands.He was shouting and cursing and wanted me to let him drive.\u201cI felt ashamed of my cousin, and went to put my rig up at Edouard Bernier\u2019s, another one of my uncles, residing two bundred yards from the place where we all intended to spend the evening.There 8gain Roy tried to become the master to my horse.Just as I was busy unbuckling the harness off the animal, Roy grabbed pe by the throat and hit me.In one Tal and the reins, and with my right cima] 'ron shovel, placed near hy, and Ply gave him a blow to make him y again took my whip out of wy Pleigh, and slashed my horse.M8 made me refuse to driv him to my Uncle Elzear where the party had already arrived, I stepped In my sleigh and gr.I ov.ing Rov running to join the sero\" Joseph Roy was afterwards found in Mr.Elzear Bernier\u2019 shed, lying down and making efforts to vomit.Some one earried him inside ang put bim to bed Where he died at 1,8 am., after haying been over five hours unconscious _Bernier claims that he was sober on New Year's Day.but his father confessed to your correspondent that, to nis knowledge, his son had taken a \"glass of mixed wine and whiskey in the morning.AN INQUEST HELD.Dr.Genest of St.Bernard, a Puty -coroner in the district, w diately summoned and held over Roy's body, the result dict of \u201cdeath caused by a blow on the head.\u201d This inquest may be qualified as pro forma, as they sav that there were only the six following jurymen: Alexander and Napoleon (Gagnon, Ferdi.rand Duquet.David Lapointe.Joseph and Theo, Berner.Nouc of them knew anything of the tragedy and no witness Was called.Bernier and his family were cting de- as imme- an inquest being a ver- Messrs, 3, e 3 eva ll Last mon told the next day of the result of the in- inquest.It appears that the family of the deceased does aot wish to make any \u2018trouble for their relative Bernier, so that some one told the men on the jury that Roy had been a vietun of his passion for liquor, but in order that the body might be buried in the Catholic cemetery, they should return such a verdict §0 as to permit the burial in the family ground.Roy had returned just three weeks from working in Berlin Falls, and had been drinking hard until his\u2019 death, while it is claimed that Bernier enjoys a good reputation as a sober and peaceful young man.The Rev.Mr.Couture, Curate of Ste.Claire, is one of the few residents of the place, who has an exact idea of what à murder is.With the help of some other kind people it is said he suc ceeded in keeping it away from the general public.{un the meantime, knowing that Bernier had committed a murder the curate was urged to communicate with Attorney-General Pelletier, M.L.A for Dorchester and requested him not to get Bernier arrested as the family were willing to leave things as they were.So far as can be ascertained no action has vet been taken- Quebec, Que.Jan.13.\u2014{Special) \u2014Last evening L\u2019Evenement published \u2018a letter from Dr.J.L.M.Genest of St.Bernard, in which the doctor savs that he believes the death of Roy was purely ac cidental.Tt may be said here that Dr.Genests\u2019s statement does not affect the verdict of the jury.Again this afternoon the reporter of The Herald was informed that Coroner Belleau of this city and district has not heard anything official and feels very uneasy over the affair.Attorney-General Pelletier could not be sren at his office to-day.Some farmers from Dorchester who came to town this morning said that Bernier\u2019s friends were trying to help him to leave the country in order to avoid trouble, but as long as the Government remains inactive he is safe and need not leave.This case is somewhat similar to the Morin-Rov tragedy which took place some vears ago at Montmagny.For having killed, while on a spree, lng friend and partner Rov, Morin had been condemned to be hanged, which sentence \u201cwas committed to impri- ronment for life The recent Rioux- Belanger tragedv at Sherbrook also resembles the one at St.Claire.THEIR YEAR'S BUSINESS, Harbor Commissioners\u2019 Receipts Show a Decrease as Compared with Last Year.The following members of the Harbor Board were present at the monthly meeting yesterday, Mr.Robert Mackay, president, in the chair and others presdgt being Messrs.J.Hodgson, R.Bickerdike, A.Racine, E.H.Lemay, W.Farrell, Hugh McLennan, John Torrance, L.E.Morin and Andrew Allan.A comparative statement of the revenue of the commission for the years 1895 and 1896 was presented as follows :\u2014 1895.1898, Difference From Customs\u2014 Imports.$129,054.22 $103.278.21 Dcc.$25,776.01 Exports.104,143.90 117,499.49 Inc, 13,355.59 Total.233,198.12 7.70 220.777.70 Dec.12.420.42 From local traffic.30,687.95 27,317,19 Dec.3,370.04 For rental of railw\u2019y tracks,ete,

the 22nd of June last a reduced wharfage tarift (twenty per cent.or one-fifth less than that of 1895) was put into effect ; and, had the old tariff rates been collected for the season of 1896, the total revenue would have been from $43,000 to 45,000 more than it actually is.It is worthy of remark that, notwithstanding the twenty per cent.reduction, the receipts from exports show an increase of nearly thirteen per cent.and also that for the first time in the history of the trust the revenue from exports exceeded that derived from imports.Mr.John Kennedy, the Chief Engineer, reported that the expenditure during the month of December on cribwork construe- tion was $1828, and for filling and back- filling $2,153.The expenditure on harbor repairs and maintenance during the month was $2,142.About 2,166 cubic yards of such stuff has been brought in during the month, free of expense to the commissioners, and deposited in embankment, The Chief Engineer also reports that the usual tection of the dredging fleet from fire while in winter quarters.An application received from Mr.T.I.Jobin, for permission to erect a skating rink opposite Jacques Cartier Square, was referred to the Harbor Master.A copy of the bill for incorporating the pilots holding branches to pilot ships between Quebec and Montreal was referred to the board\u2019s Pilot Committee.atresia MR.MULOCK HONORED.The Postmaster-General Presented With an Address\u2014He Promises Large Reforms.Toronto, Jan.13.\u2014(Special).\u2014Hon, William Mulock was on Tuesday evening presented by the St.George's Ward Reform Association with an iluminatea address, congratulating him upon the rerponsible position with which he had been honored by the Premier.In returning thanks Mr.Mulock referred to the possibility that had been hinted at that England might become a protectionist country.le believed that no greater calamity could happen to Canada than such an event.He believed, however, that the great mass of English people were in favor of free trade.The enactment of protection in England would perhaps compel us to throw ourselves in with the United States.But that calamity was not going to happen, or, at all events, it would not receive encouragement so long as the Liberal party were in power.Mr.Mulock spoke at some length of his own department, which he was overhauling from top to bottom, aud a more astounding state of affairs than he had found there had never disgraced a department, as he would show when he came to make his report to Parliament.On the matter of stage mail carrying alone he had already saved over £20,060, and as the contracts extended over four years he believed that a saving of £80,000 for the four years could be effected.He thought that he could establish a service creating no deficit for the country and affording better facilities than the onc now in force.MONTREAL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1897.FATAL CATASTROPHES REPORTED IN TO-DAY'S DESPATCHES.Old Lady Burned

Sherman Prospective U.S.Secretary of State Satisfied.How the Vote Will Stand in the Senate \u2014Favorable Comment From the New York Press.London, Jan.13.\u2014The Chronicle publishes an interview with Hon.Richard Lieid Dobell, the member of the Canadian Cabinet who is now in London, in which h> says that Canada will rejoice at the completion of the arbitration treaty between Great Britain and the United States and he is confident that the Laurier Cabinet will leave no stone unturned to complete the good work, so that Canadians as well as Englishmen wil live with the United States as friends and not as enemies.HOW THE SENATE STANDS, New York, Jan.13.\u2014A special to the Herald.from its Washington correspondent says: \u201cThe ratification during the present session by the Senate of the new general arbitration treaty between ithe United | States and Great Britain, the full text of which was published in the Herald of Tuesday morning, is extremely doubtful.The ratification of a treaty requires a two- thirds vote in the Senate.The canvass which was made to-day indicated that this two-third vote may probably be \u2018secured by slight modifications in the treaty which would not destroy its essential character.The great obstacle in the way of ratification is the difficulty in reaching a vote be- fcre March 4.The opposition is sufficiently strong to prevent a vote being reached.Ag the treaty is pending in the secret sessions of the Senate few Senators were willing to express an opinion for publication, and some of them even declined to speak of it at all.But from private talks had with them and with those whom Senators have talked with on the subject this is believed to be an approximately correct analysis of the vote in the Senate: Favorable to the treaty, 42: against ratification, 18.SHERMAN IS JUBILANT.New York, Jan.12.\u2014The following signed statement was handed to the World's special correspondent in Washington by Éenator Sherman.It gains added

details of the treaty sent to the Senate relating to the arbitration of controversies beween Great Britain and the United States.But if it is, as I understand it to be, the securing of pacific settlement of all the usual questions that may arise to disturb our relations with Great Britain, it is probably the most remarkable treaty ever made by this country.1t will bring together one hundred million people\u2014the seventy millions of our own people and.the thirty or thirty-five millions of Great! Britain\u2014who are kindred in stock, in language, and in tradition.\u201cAs I understand it, the treatymgoverns | all* the controversies incident to the usual | international dealings, excepting

the United States and Great Britain signed the General Arbitration Treaty.Upon the concurrence of the Senate the two most powerful and most enightened nations of the earth will have entered into n solemn compact of peace.Haste, pus- sion and prejudice will no lenger threaten them with the miseries and catastrophes of War.It is the beginning of the realization of the once seemingly hopeless dream of the ages.It is the first great formal recognition of the truth that \u201ccivilization means that disputes and differences, whether individual or national, shall be aettled by reason, by some judicial process, and not by force.\u201d It is becoming and inenmbent upon us to celebrate the advent of this light which has burst through the darkness of the Venezuelan war-cloud.Let us mot leave

Association Shown to be in the Combine.AMERICANS QUIT CANADA.Extract From a Letter to a Canadian Importer, An Admission that an Arrangement was Made at a Meeting in New York, The action of Canadian manufacturers of spades and shovels, by which the prices continue to be materially advanced, has, since the recent letter in The Herald, been the subject of much comment.lt is now learned, on authority that is undoubted, that the Canadian Shovel Association has entered into an arrangeinent with the American manufacturers\u2019 combina by which the latter receives from the for- wer sums of money during the year which aggregate an enormous amount, One sum known to have been handed over to the Americans in a roundabout manner was not less than $17,500.For all this the Americans bind themselves not to interfere with the trade in Canada, the result being that prices are rlaged at whatever suits the Canadian manufacturers and there is no help for it.Here is an extract from a letter dated January 11t h,triwt thm arf January 11th, written by an American spade and shovel manufacturer to a Cau- adian importer :\u2014 \u201cReplying to your favor of the Cth inst., at the last meeting of the Shovel Association in New York.the Canadian manufacturers mdde an arrangement win American makers not to interfera with Canadian trade.We are, therefore, mot in a positon to quote you prices.A well-known importer in talking with a Herald reporter this morning, said:\u2014 \u201cThe impression must be that such an arrangement coyld only be established with American makers by paying to them as bounty or royalty a part of the excessive duty which is now levied on imported spades and shovels.The Canadian consumer and farmer is therefore taxed 2% per cent.ad valorem and specific duty of §0c a dozen apparently for the joint benefit of the American and Canadian manufae- turer, as tdte of things which it is hoped will be changed under the expected revised tariff.\u201d P PRISONERS ASSISTED,

use for the present, it is expected that the school will be opened next week.Two or three new teachers will be required, and the chances are that the whole building, comprising nine rooms, will be used before the year is up, so great is the continual increase in school population.The anticipated movement for a new separate school in Westmount is working quietly with the Commissioners.At the next meeting some action in the matter of dissenting is \u201cexpected from the Catholic trustees.The C.P.R.depot has proven a great ronvenience to Westmount, and residents notice particularly the

LACHINE ELECTION, Mr.Thornloe\u2019s Letter Declining to Run for Councillorship\u2014It Might Result in Race Struggle.Lachine, Jan.13.\u2014A deputation of eiti~ zens from the Kast Ward waited on Mr.R.C.Thornloe, Monday evening requesting him to become the candidate for Councillor forsthat ward.Mr.Thornloe promised to consider the matter, and this morning handed in the following letter which speaks for itself: : To G.H.Horslall, D.II.Gilbert, William Beadie and others: Gentlemen\u2014I feel very greatly honored by the large and influential requisition you huvo presented to me to become a candidate for the Municipal Council of the East Ward of Lachine, and I am assured that your su.» port and assistance would easily have carried the seat.\"There are, however, considerations that make me hesitate, the principal one being the earnest desire on the part of the French-speaking people of the town to have a man of their own to represent them in the Council, and the danger that any other candidate would create a race struggle and bad feeling between the French and English speaking people of Lachine, For myself, I am a Canadian above all and desire, when called.upon to fill any position of this kind, to represent all and to command the confidence of those of every race.I have friends\u2014mauy good fuiends\u2014 among the French in Lachine, and do not wish to do anything that mightdisturbthose harmonious relations which have existe: in the past, and which I trust will be maintained and strengthened inthe future, With these feelings, then, I trust you will nuder-* stand me when I say that, as it does not appear that 1 am the choice of the French people of the East Ward, it would be unwise for me to raise the cry of French and English, and that it is better to decline your request than to\u201d have an election on such issues.Again thanking you, gentlemen, for the honor you have done me, and hoping to se- sure your approval of my decision, I am, yours respectfully, RALPH C.THORNLOE, SUCCESSFUL OPERATION.Lieut.-Governor Kirkpatrick, of On tario, on the Road te Recovery.\u2018 London.Jan.13.\u2014The \u2018Hon.George A.Kirkpatrick,

Col.Stevenson, Wnhq : proposed*the abolition of tobacco as one of | the great reforms which the Knights | should undertake, and by Mr.Trenholme, who dwelt on the importance of commer ciel education, and practical science, No | nation, he said, has a more important resource thap that of the mental cquipment of its citizens.In the franchise, the working men had the power to compel either partly to give them that education as freely and as easily as the son of the wealthiest man can get it.Mr, H, B.Ames, in answer to the same | toast, maintained the right of labor to : combine for mutual support and he spoko ; of his efforts to give honest working- ' wen decent dwellings at a low price, In St.Ann\u2019s Ward and Point St.Charles, he raid that to his own knowledge F8 families were trying to live on less than $5 a week this winter.The average wage of the working men of that district was only a little above %7 a week.He did not think these wages could be much increased, but they could be made to purchase more.He held that it was the duty of the City Council to expend, in the | different districts of the city for improvement, not according to the amount which | each contributed to the civic revenue, but | according to the needs of each.The ! rookeries unfit for habitation should be 1 + 1 La 00e AA Gens er 06 A ta (rit + mitt legislated out of existence, and it could | be done if

his annual message to the Legislature yesterday, touched upon the adverse criticisms of Kansas made on the part of States in the Last, and compared the degree of prosperity ia his State with that of the States that indulged in the criticisms.He said: \u201cWith profound regret at the misfortunes of our more pretentious sisters of the East, we congratulate the State of Kansas upon the many simple blessings that have fallen tous in these adverse times.While those.who clamor for alms in the streets of the crowded cities are many, those who seek assistance from our ready public bounty are few.While the failure of great commercial institutions brings sad calamity to the chief capitals whose misfortunes accumulate, the less imposing and useful depositors of Kansas savings give gratify ing evidence of stability.While, accord: ing to the press of the nation\u2019s most popu lous metropolis, her children linger in the strect untaught, except im the lore of the pavement, unfed except at the hand of charity, unhoused except in the kennels they dispute with creatures scarcely less miserable, the Commonwealth of Kansas is rejoicing in a public poor system which is the most grateful heritage we received from our fathers and the best legacy we can leave our children, finds ample home room and school room for every Kansas child, and for such straggling waifs as come to us for aid in Kansas, except those birds of passage which flit by us, grim remind- cig of old communities.\u201cWith a cheorful audacity that almost challenges admiration Grub street scribblers on a venal press, which panders to the most vicious instincts of semi-civilized foreign colonies like New York City and (Chicago.with semi-barbaric splendor at the apex and semi-barbaric squalor at the base of their social.life, have come puny and presumptuous criticism of those whose shoestrings they are not worthy to unloose.The dogs of Egypt have barked at the pyramids ubanswered for fifty cen: ,THE HERALD,

immediately to have a number of mendicants, particularly those suffering from horrible defermities, re moved from the streets .Tt is not improbable that steps will be taken by a member of the society to regulate morals in theatres and other places of public en tertainment in the city.The secretary presented a report cover ing the work for the first month, whizi demonstrated that relief had been

13.£ \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 WHY MANITOBA WENT WRONG.When at the last Dominion general election it was learned that the people of Manitoba had voluntarily declared for the coercion of their Province by the Federal authority and for the destruction of their system of national schools, the people of pr the rest of the country were not a little disheartened.and their surprise was not removed when They were surprised too, they were reminded that in Federal poli: tics the Manitobana had always been strongly Conservative.Nor did question: ing cease when it was suggested that the people of the Prairie Province had not taken the Tupperites in Parliament seri ously, that they had been privately as sured that in the event of a Conservative victory at the polls, the policy of coercion would be abandoned, and that they wero really convinced that from Mr.Laurier they had more to fear than from Sie Charles Tupper.These explanations were not sufficient.Better explanations were required.\\ They have been provided in the election courts.An excellent resume of the evi dence taken in the trials of the contests tion of Winnipeg and Macdonald is made by a special correspondent of the Toronto Globe.From this it appears that the electors of Manitoba did not declare fo» their own coercion and humiliation; that as a result of a Conservative conspiracy they were gagged at the polls; that their voice was choked by methods so shame ful as to find no parallel in Canadian politics.In the constituency of Macdonald an organized stuffing of the ballot-boges was p'anned and carried into effect by deputy returning officers in many parts of the ecnstituency.In Winnipeg the ballot pa pers were allowed to run out in several polling booths, and while the shortage lasted many voters were turned away from the polls\u2014a fact in itself sufficient to have voided the had the Liberal .been returned.Less subtle and probably methods were Ordinary brib- practised, and in Winnipeg beer was free to Conservative election less effective employed also.ery was freely electors for several days prior to the closing of the polls.These are simply samples of the corrupt actions revealed in the elce- tion courts.In Macdonald the Conservative member, Mr.Boyd, has confessed to corruption by agents, and resigned the seat.The Winnipeg trial is still in progress.What was the object?Had the policy of coercion prevailed in Quebec and had the representatives of this Province insisted on the fulfilment of that policy a Conservative Government would have been in a position to argue that since the people of Manitoba had themselves declared their acquiescence, there was no good reason why their school system thould not be destroyed.The plot failed in Quebec.In its immediate object, it succeeded in Manitoba.But though the people of Manitoba may not be able to state their views in Parliament with such force as they doubtless hoped, they stand partially vindicated in the eyes of their fellow Canadians, The agents of the men who worked their wrongs are still in the toils.Several of the deputy returning officers in Macdonald are under arrest for ballot box stuffing and there is every indication that the charges against them will be prosecuted to the end.In the event of conviction, a sig- ral example should be made of them and it is a pity that the masters in the plot are not beside their wretched agents in the dock.| al.= THE FAST SERVICE.Mr.James Huddart re-appears as a possible factor in the settlement of the Atlantic steamship question.The Montreal Gazette yesterday reproduced from the London Times an article to show that the worthy Australian still hopes to persuade the Canadian people that Canadian steamship men would not be able to handle so big a thing as a fast service on the Atlantic.The Canadian people probably have a different opinion, but let us hear what Mr.Huddart says.The matter : which the Gazette publishes is headed in the Times \u201cFrom a Correspondent\u201d and | it starts out by saying that Mr, J.F.Hogan, M.P.bas returned from a visit ! to Canada primarily undertaken with a view to eliciting the views and intencions of the new Liberal Government of the Dominion on the subject of the proposed fast Atlantic service.\u201d After stating the result of Mr.Hogan\u2019s anquiries, the Times\u2019 corespondent states Mr.Hogan\u2019s opinion as follows :\u2014 \u201cSo far as at present can be judged, Mr.Laurier and his colleagues will take one of two courses.They will either defer \u2018that nation and ours.Dominion revenue is mot sutficiently buoyant to justify the expenditure of $750, 000 per annum on this new service, or they will resume negotiations with Mr.James Huddart, to whom the project was first proposed by the late Sir Jobn Thompson, when Premier of the Dominion, and who the past three years to carry it to a successful issue.\u201d .Hogan was in this country some months ago, he frankly avowed himself, or, at least.he was reported as having frankly avowed himself, a representative of Mr Huddart's interests, and it is not difficult, therefore, to imagine that the Times\u2019 \u2018\u201ccorrespondence\u201d\u2019 quoted by the Gazette may have emanated from a source not far from Mr.Huddart\u2019s own hand.Now one of the chief grounds upon which opposition to the Huddart scheme was based was the fact that it set aside the strong claims of the Canadian steams ship proprietors to generous treatment in respect of so valuable a privilege as that which the Canadian Parliament had at ite disposal.Here was £750,000 a year of good Canadian money to be paid to an Austra: lian, who, as it was subsequently developed, was a gentleman of limited experience and even more limited holdings in steam: ship enterprises on the Pacific.It was proposed that the Allons afd the Tor rances and the other pioneers of the Canadian steamship industry, with all their experience in the navigation of the St.Lawrence and the Northern Atlantic route, and with their substantial invest: ments in Canadian steamship securities, should Le refused an opportunity to ten: der for such advantages as might accrue from the successful operation of the service proposed.As it was subsequently proved, it was on this very rock that the Huddart scheme came to shipwreck, and without any spegial knowledge as to the opinions or intentions of the Liberal Government The Herald ventures the prediec- tion that while the Government may postpone the matter, it will not resume negotiations with Mr.James Huddart, or, at least, that it will not resume negotiations with Mr.Huddart in such manner as to exclude from its calculations the claims ot the Canadian steamship owners.And it would probably consult the inclinations of the Canadian people if it did not resume negotiations with Mr.Huddart at all.If the Canadian people are to pay £750,000 a year for a fast steamship service on the Atlantic they will probably prefer that the money go to a Canadian firm.OUR BUTTHR EXPORTS.In the list of Canada\u2019s achievements for the year 1896 the progress made by the export butter trade warrants conspicu- - ous mention.Estimates coming from a very reliable source indicate that in the increase made by the colonies, Canada\u2019s gain easily heads the list.Entering into figures it is shown that the total imports into the United King dom from the.beginning of September to December 26th (17 weeks) increased 57,263 cwts., of which 37,040 cwts.were colonial.Here is where Canada figures.Her increase for the- period mentioned was 34,350 cwts, leaving Australia only the small gain of 2,690 cwts, The 20,223 cwts.increase from foreign countries is pointed out to be only 24 say Canada\u2019s increase is 38 per cent., Compared with the States, Canada also comes out on top.The increase from the Continent of America during the 17 weeks was 49,443 cwts., and this country contributed 34,350 cwts.to that amount.This is a showing that any country might well be proud of.The Herald quotes with much gratification the following suggestion by the Philadelphia Ledger: \u201cThe celebration of Queen Victoria's sixtieth year on the throne is to be known officially as the Diamond Jubilee, that being the title given it by the Prince of Wales.Great preparations are being made in England for an impressive demonstration, and the American colony in London suggests that our Government send a special embassy to England to congratulate Her Majesty in the name of the United States.The suggestion does not savor of fierce democracy, but it isn\u2019t such a bad one as might seem at first glance.It would be an act of courtesy and would be well received in England, and would probably bear valuable fruit in the strengthening of the new bonds of amity between Quite likely such a demonstration, if properly carried out by entrusting it to men of international prominence, would bring English and Americans nearer in sentiment than anything else that could be done at present, and would be to the mutual advantage of the two countries.\u201d As The Herald has several times remarked, the Philadelphia Ledger represents in many regards the most highly enlightened classes in the United States and it represents the elements which are usually dominant in American politics.Such an expression of good will from such a source is valuable, In the discussion of the Cuban question, Senator Mills of Texas has referred with warmth to the suggested interference by the European Powers and in the process of twisting the joint and individual tails of those Powers he derides Italy as a nation whose symbol of greatness is a monkey and an organ grinder.Good, Mr, Mills ; go ahead on the same line.Des- scribe the sons of Garibaldi and Victor Emanuel as monkeys and organ grinders and see how soon your blackguard jingoism will kill the cause of which you are the most conspicuous representative and give decent and intelligent Americans their proper place in the councils of the United States.Within the past few weeks there have been in the Province of Quebec twa affrays in which Italians have used the knife with mortal results.That is two too many.Ordinarily the Italian resi dents of Canada have been distinguished 1 immediate action on the ground that the 1t will be remembered that when Mr.| per cent., while the Colonial, or we may | THE HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1897.as inoffensive law-abiding and useful members of the community ; but among the Italians, as in other races, there are bad men and the Italian bad man is given to the inconsiderate hand- \u201cling of cold steel.If the perpetrators of the Chambly and the Linteau murders are i ever convicted, such an example should be has been laboring energetically throughout ! wade of them as to put a stop for all time ! to the practice of Mafia methods in Can- .ada.The preliminary objections in the \\Vest ; Assiniboia election case have again | been discussed before the registrar of the Supreme Court, with the result that they must go before the full court in February.In the meantime the trial is postponed and Mr.' Davin sits easy.He holds his seat by vir tue of the Returning Oflicer\u2019s casting vote, but in the circumstances which have arisen, there may be so much delay that he may be permitted to enjoy another session of Parliament.It is a pity, since, except in his capacity as Parliamentary jester Mr.Davin would not be missed from the House.The award of the Dominion note contract to an American firm should please the Canadian protectionist.The tariff enquiry has revealed the existence in Canada of many American concerns whose goods the National Policy would have excluded from the country if the American manufacturers had not established their works on this side of the border.Under its contract with the Canadian Government the American Bank Note Company of New York must do the work in Ottawa.Thus a°new and extensive business is set up in Canada.What could better satisfy the protectionist idea?When the esteemed Gazette gets off polities it occasionally says a good thing; such for example as the following: \u201cThere is one thing to be entered to the credit of the City Council in connection with its last year\u2019s work.There was no money spent on account of the present year\u2019s appropriations.It is a geod while since such a record has been made and now that it has been made it should be adhered to.It is business,\u201d The aldermen would do well to follow the Gazette\u2019s advice.The petition against the election of Mr.E.F.Clarke, the Conservative member for West Toronto has been dismissed and Mr.Clarke\u2019s right to his seat in Parliament is confirmed.It is well.Mr.Clarke is of the class of men from whose prominence in the councils of the nation, the nation reaps a distinct gain.ha SOMERVILLE LECTURES, The Winter Course Will Be Begun To-morrow Hvening-\u2014-Subjects to be Discussed.One of the things which Montreal may be proud of is the yearly course of Somer- villa lectures, which are delivered under the auspices of the Natural History So- cietv.It is many years now since the late Rev.Mr.Somerville left the funds to provide for a cburse of free lectures in scientific subjects, with a view to popularizing the study of the natural sciences.Every year since then some eight lectures have been delivered during the winter months, and these have done much in the direction aimed at by their founder.The council ot the Natural History Society arranges the subjects and the iecturers.They have just published the syllabus for the present winter, including eight lectures on the humanthody by doctors who are specialists in their different lines.In addition to these there will be a special illustrated lecture at a date to be given Jater by Dr.H.M.Ami, of the Geological Survey, Ottawa, on \u201cExtinct Monsters.\u201d The lectures are free, and will be given on Thursday evenings, commencing to-mor- row, in the Natural History Hall, ut eight o'clock, and the subjectg will be as fol lows

Report that His Home Has Been Discovered.HIS WONDERFUL CAREER.e Inflicted on Tortures Which He Himself.\u2018How He Left the World and Entered Upon a Life of Piety \u2014 His Strange Death.' An event of quite exceptional importance has just been chronicled in a three-line despatch from India to London.According \u2018to the despatch, the birthplace of the great Buddha has just been discovered, in Nepal- Teral.This much we learn, and no more.We do not as yet know either how the birthplace was discovered or what marks, external or internal, it bears, proving'it to be the birthplace of the great Gautama.A discovery of this kind, if authenticated, will prove of world-wide interest, if only because no two scholars agree as to the time or place of Buddha\u2019s birth.Seven cities claimed the honor of being Homer's birthplace, and there has hitherto been quite as much uncertainty regarding Bud- dba's birthplace.Again, twenty-seven different dates, with a variation of more than two thousand years between them, are given as the time of his birth.Some authorities indeed claim that the story of Buddha was founded upon a solar myth, and Professor Wilson doubts whether any such man as Buddha ever existed.Buddha was born probably about five centuries before Christ, and the general opinion hitherto has been that Kosala, about one hundred miles north-west of Benares, was hig birthplace.His father was named Suddhodana, and he was either a chieftain or king of the Sakya tribe.His mother\u2019s name was Maya, and she was the legitimate wife of Suddhodana.The continual sight of death and disease had disgusted him with the things of this world, and the result was that in the prime of his manhood he left his home and loving family and sat for a season at the feet of two Brahmans, who taught him | their creed.But their doctrinal system did rot satisfy him, and therefore he sought for comfort in the doctrine that those who inflict bodily pain upon themselves are the most certain to obtain the benefits of true religion.In company with five other men, inured to asceticism, he resolved to torture his body by starving it.Seated all day in the full glare of the sun, he punished himself thus, gradually reducing his +laily supply of food, until finally he tried to subsist on a single grain of rice.This ordeal over, he scourged and tormented himself in many other ways, but all in vain, for the peace which he longed \u2018for did not come to him.The manhood in him__reasserted itself, and he ate and drank as before, much to the disgust of the five as- petics whq had fasted and suffered with im, To them his backsliding was painful, and they expressed: their disapproval by tor menting themselves even more severely meditated there until the divine light that he had so long prayed for illumined him.FOUR GREAT TRUTHS.Aye, here under this fig tree, he evolved the fascinating doctrine of transmigration of souls, the doctrine that this life is only one of countlessf lives, that life of any kind means suffering, that freedom from suffering can only be obtained by extino- tion of all desire, and especially of all desire for life\u2014in a word, that the measurable peace obtainable in this life is only to be secured by breaking all the ties ani renouncing all the affections that bind one to life\u2014a pessimistic doctrine, and yet ono with an invincible attraction for thou sands, nay millions, of human beings.Since Buddha\u2019s time how many generations have clung fast to this doctrine of contempt for life and life\u2019s enjoyments ! Gautama went forth to preach this doc trine, and his first audience consisted of five mendicants, who had met at the Deer | Forest, in Benares.To them Gautama, or Buddha, said : \u201cThere are two extremes, O monks, to be avoided by one who has given up the world\u2014a life of sensual pleasures, which is degratling, and a life of self-mortification, which is profitless There is a middle path, the noble eight-fold path, discovered by the Buddha, which leads to wisdom, to perfect enlightenment, to final extinction, of desire and suffering.\u201d He then revealed to them the four great truths : \u2018First, all existence, whether on earth or in heaven, involves pain and suffering.Second, all suffering is caused by desire of three kinds, either for sensual pleasures, for wealth or for existence.Third, suffering ceases as soon as lust, craving and desire are extinguished.tion of lust, craving and desire and cessation of suffering are accomplished by perseverance in the eight-fold path\u2014namely, by right belief or views, right resolve, right speech, right work, right livelihood, right exercise or training, right mindfulness and right mental concentration.\u201d In a later sermon, delivered at Bhanda- gama, before an immense congregation of his disciples, he spoke more clearly about these four truths, which are, indeed, the key-note of the Buddhistic oreed.\u201cThey are,\u201d he said, \u201cthe noble conduct of life, the noble earnestness of meditation, the noble kind of wisdom and the ( ncble salvation of freedom.But when noble conduct is realized and known, when noble wisdom is realized and known, when noble meditation is realized and known, when noble freedom is realized and known, then the craving for new existence, which boxes | leads to renewed existence, is destroyed, paper bags and twine: Chaput Flls & Cie.| and there is no more birth !\u201d Such was his belief, and when his own death was at hand he spoke of the event as \u2018the final extinction of the Buddha,\u201d as \u201can, utter passing away, in which nothing whatever remains behind!\" He died in a strange fashion.He, \u201cThe Blessed One,\u201d had gone to Pana and was sojourning in the mango grove of Kunda, who was a smith.And Kunda one evening invited him and his disciples to dinner on the following day, and he made ready for turkeys.2 roasts beef;

and, seating himself under a sacred fig tree, he Fourth, extine- then he died.The offering of food, ' through which, wben a Buddha has eaten, he attains to supreme and perfect 1n- sight, and the offering of food, through which, when a Buddha has eaten, he passes away, utterly passing away, so that ao.thing whatever remains behind.* * these two offerings of food are of equal fruit and equal profit and of much greater fruit and much greater profit than any others.\u201d So, after forty-five years of labor, the Buddha passed away.In accordance with custom, his body was cremated, after which the ashes were divided into eight parts and distributed among those who had a claim on them.Over each of these relics a mound was built and a great feast was held.Everything so far set down about the life of Buddha is credible.Here now are further details, some of which certainly verge on the marvellous and impos: gible.When Gautama, suy these legends, was born the angels received him \\n golden net and handed him to four kings, who received him in a cloth of antelope skins.On his body were all the signs of eminence.Thus the soles of his feet were full-fleshed and perfectly flat, like golden sandals.On each foot was the figure of a \u2018wheel and each heel was extraordinarily long.His arms, too, were so long that | he could without stooping touch his { knees with his hands.When the time came for Guatama to marry, the loveliest girls in the kingdom were assembled for his inspection, and he chose a beautiful maiden named Copa, and loaded her with thousands of rings and bracelets.But Gopa\u2019s father refused to give her to any man who could not | prove himself a champion wrestler, archer and swordsman.So a tournament Was held, and Guatama vanquished all opponents and won a lovely bride.THE WONDERFUL KAU HAKRKA.Many other wives Guatama had and he enjoyed himself exceedingly until one day when the angels showed him the atter barrenness of life.Then he went to kis palace, and his women danced and sang, to him until he fell asleep.On awaking he found all the women asleep \u201cand in dis: order, some grinding their tecth and some yawning and muttering.\u201d i Unlovely they looked, and seeiug them so changed, he became greatly disgusted.\u201cTruly, I .am in a graveyard,\u201d he ex claimed, and straightway he resolved jo renounce the world and its temptations.First; he kissed his sleeping wife and child, and then he mounted his horse Kauthaka \u2014Kauthaka, the splendid, *\u2018thirty feet in length,\u201d his coat white and lustrous as a well-polished conch shell, and his head black as the black sapphire.\u201d Forth he rode, guarded on all sides by angels, who lighted his path with sixty thousand torches.For thirty leagues he rode, until he arrived at the bank of a stream, and there he was stopped by a mass of flowers, of winged creatures, of snakes, that were showered down from heaven in his honor.They impeded the horse for awhile, hut finally the great Kauthaka, at his master\u2019s behest, leaped in the air and landed safely on the opposite bank, five or six hundred i yards away.There Gautama dismissed the servant, who had accompanied him hanging on to th® horse\u2019s tail, and bade him veturn- with Kauthaka to the palace.Then began the season of temptation for Gautama.He had vowed to become a : Buddha, and the Wicked One had vowed | that he should not.But though globes of fire and huge ! masses of iron and terrible javelins Were i hurled at him, and though lovely maidens tempted him to sin, he game unscathed through all trials.Gradually his fame spread, and at last his father heard where he was and begged him to come home.Gautama obeyed.At the mead of twenty thousand converts he returned to the paternal city.There his kinsfolk did him reverence, and he revealed to them snd many others the true path of righteousness.Can it be true that his birthplace has been found?°° After all these centuries are we at last to obtain some positive information as to the earthly career of this marvellous being?Who knows?One thing is certain\u2014 namely, that scholars in aif lands and all others who have even a faint knowledge .of Gautama and his life work and of the \"wide spreading influence of the Buddhist religion will be on the qui vive until they know whether the story of the discovery of Buddha\u2019s birthplace is true or false.SHEAR NONSENSH.Mrs.De Styles\u2014Our debating club bas decided to take up the leading questions i of the day, for discussion this year.Mr.de Styles\u2014Um!

appreciated was well evidenced last evening by the large and fashionable au- dieuce that assembled in the Y.M.C.A.Hali to hear her speak on \u201cOld and Present India.\u201d Mr.Robert Turnbull, in a few well-chosen words, introduced the gpcaker.Mrs.Tytler commenced by tell ing how she had arrived in Montreal.In the first instance she left India four years age with a valuable collection of East Indian curios and works of art, to exhibit at the Chicago World's Fair.Space could not be obtained, and the goods remained in bond at New York.A very heavy duty was charged, on some things as much as 75 per cent., and they remained in bond.At the end of three years notice was given that if the duty was not paid the goods swculd be confiscated; and so it came to pass that they were sent to Montreal as being the nearest and most gonvenient place to bring them, and circumstances over which Mrs.Tytler had no control brought her to Montreal.A song was then given by Miss Henn Fetherston, \u201cForget.Forgive,\u201d by Well ings, with piano accompaniment by Miss Brown and violin by Miss Lgtta Fether- ston.The effect wag very pretty and greatly enjoyed.Mrs.Tytler then commenced her talk on \u201cOld and Present India.\u201d Hindoostan, nreaning literally \u201cHindoo of country,\u201d 1s the proper name for India.In pre-historic times India was ruled by people from Central Asia, who conquered the whole of the country.The descendents of these people formed three high castes, the Brahmins, tre Brahmin-Pootras and the Raj- pools.The Ayrians were afterwards con: quered by the Turks.Mrs.Tytler then described in a thrililng and forcible manner the seven different invasions of India, which took place before the country became possessed by the English.The seventh and last invasion was in 1805, about thirty years before the English became masters.Mrs.Tvtler described the customs and habits of the people of India, some of tliem quite ludicrous and others very terrible.Such cruel practices as killing the girl babies at birth by throwing them into the Ganges, where they were immediately swallowed up by the crocidiles, had been put a stop to by the English Government.This custom was followed by the Hindoos.if, after consulting the horoscope, evil was predicted for the child, they choosing to do this rather than that the girl should fall into the hands of the Mohammedane.Then another fearful custem which had beerr abolished was the cremation of widows at the death of their husbands: also the practice followed by the natives HOW TO REACH THE POLE, Lieutenant Peary Wants $150,000 and Ten Years.er me Small Expeditions are Better Than Large Ones \u2014 Only One Route Left to Be Taken, New York, Jan.12.\u2014Lieut.R.E.Peary, U.S.Navy, who gained fame as an Arctic explorer, was the recipient to-night in Chickering Hall of the Cullum Geographical medal.The medal was bestowed upon Lieut.Peary by the American Geographical Scciety in recognition of his services in Polar seas in 1891 and 1895.The medal is the institution of the late vice-president of the society, Gen.Cullum, and will henceforth be awarded by the society to American Arctic explorers whose achieve: wents make them worthy of it.Referring to future expeditions, Lieut.Peary said :\u2014Results of various expeditions have shown that there is left.but one practicable route by which to attain the North Pole, and that route 18 the one that has been known as the American, viz., the route through Smith Sound, Kane Basin, Robeson Channel, and along the ncerth-west coast of Greenland.The Pole is certain to be reached soon; it is only a question of time and money, and mot so very much of the latter, and unless we are on the alert we shall be left in the Tear.Arctic exploration may be regarded as safe.This is shown by the experience ot the last ten years.Nothing Is to be galn- ed by numbers; in fact, numbers are a distinct danger, and the frightful calas- trophes of previous work are, in opinion, directly traceable to that cause.The entire animus of the Arctic regions Is against large parties.Where three men will get along in satety and comfort, six would inerely exist on half rations, and twelve would die of starvation.The two men party is the ideal one; both Nansen and myself have proved this.The leaders of the expedition must be at the head of the advance party; no successful Arctic party can be led from the rear.The lat: tud of Lockwood and Brainard\u2019s farthest north is 83 degrees 24 minutes.The distance from this point up to which we know there is land, to the Pole and return, is less than the distance from Whale Jeland to Independence Bay, which I have twice covered, once with a single com panion, and again under the heaviest handicap.In a nutshell, my project means :\u2014 First\u2014The raising of a sum ($150,000) suflicient to insure persistent, continued efforts (continuing ten years), so that if the attempt faila the first year it can be repeated the next and the next, until it 1s dene.®econd\u2014The establishment of a party of picked Eskimo families, a surgeon and an experienced leader, at the highest prae- ticable point on the north-west coast of colony to sustain itself until its work is accomplished and with a practicable line of retreat entirely independent of the ship.GOT SOME DAMAGES.Vancouver, B.C., Jan.12.\u2014The case of Farl Cranston vs.the Canadian-Australian Steamship Company, for damages tor forcible deportation from Honolulu during the last uprising in the Hawaiian Islands, took place on Monday before Justice McColl and a speciai jury.The juryawarded the plain- til $1,000 damages; $50,000 was sued fos.my in their fanatic religious zeal of throwing themselves before the great Juggernaut car and being crushed to death.The Hindoos, Mrs.Tytler said, were great people to undertake pilgrimages, and for this object would give up their family and all they possessed.They go immense distances, and it is very rarely they re turn, their skeletons being found on the wayside.\u2018Then the various forms of -elf- inflicted torture to appease the wrath of the gods were graphically described.Mrs.Tytler has already founded an orphanage for native and Furopean children in Simla, India, and it is now the one aim of her life to found a convalescent home at the same place for poor luropeans.This remarkable lady has been working for this object for the last ten years, and has succeeded in getting sufficient funds to endow three beds up to the present time.Mrs.Tytler hoped to succeed in getting a Montreal bed for her home.Mrs.Frank FE.McKyes then favored the audience with a song The Toilers, by Piccolimini, which was sung with exruisite taste and feeling.At the close of Mrs.Tytler\u2019s lecture, Mrs.F.E.MeKyes also gave a charming dramatie sketch, entitled Stage Struck, by special request.This was a most enjovable feature of the evening.as Mrs, McKyes\u2019 rendering was perfect in every particular.Miss Henri Fetherston also kindly consented to give another son, If I but Knew, by Wilson Smith, which was much anpreciated.WOMEN IN POLITICS.the secture Delivered Before Philosophical Society on This Subject.The subject of the lecture delivered before the Philosophical Society of Canada Sunday afternoon by Mrs.Marie Walshe was \u201cWoman's Place in Politics.\u201d On the two previous Sundays, viz., the one immediately after Christmas Day and the one following New Year's Day, the Scciety indulged in a happy innovation, \u201con the former occasion providing a programme entirely occupied by songs, hymns, recitations and thoughts relevant to the sacred festival of Christmastide, and on the second apcasion devoting its attention entirely to New Year reflections, songs and readings, mixed with old year thoughts, regrets and joys.But last Sunday the meetings resumed their wonted tenor, and Mrs.Walshe\u2019s excellent paper upon this very important phase of the \u2018New Woman\u201d question was received with an almost universal approval.The lecture contained nothing | & followed was taken up by other ladies who were divided in their opinions.The chairman, in the course of his closing remarks, extended a very hearty invitation to the, enlightened ladies of this city to join the society and help forward its earpest endeavors to foster the intel lectual side of our people.During the afternoon Mr.A.©.Jones sang two songs, in very fine style, and to his own accompaniment, \u2018The Battle Prayer\u201d and \u201cRuth.\u201d Next Sunday the treasurer of the society, Mr.George Dawson, will lecture on \u2018\u2018An- | gels and Demons, or Evil Spirits.\u201d CUMS DECIDED.Finance Committee Transacts Routine Business.A Large Number of Subjects Dealt With at Their Meeting Yesterday.The Finance Committee of the City Council held a rather interesting meeting to discuss claims and damages.Incrden- tally Ald.Savignac asked how the :ity stood with the Montreal Water and Power Company.Tie company is supplying city water to the inhabitants of Maison.neuve and collecting from them, but the City Treasurer never sees the color of the company\u2019s money.It now owes the city over $100,000.last year an action was taken by the city against the com- peny, but the progress which has been made with it is not so far visible to the naked eye.City Attorney Ethier, in answer to Ald.Rainville, said that the case was inscribed for hearing and that it would come up in its turn.He was instructed to prepara a report of the sums in the hands of the sequestrator appointed to collect the sums due to the company in St.Denis Ward and Mile End, pending the law suit, The Committee considered a letter ef Mr.U.Lafontaine, who has been manag: ing the Municipal Employment Bureau, asking for a remittance of part of the $600 voted for that bureau, and also a letter from the Laber Club, recommending Mr.Francois Laisne for the position oo.cupied by Mr.Lafontaine.However, Mr.Lafontaine was maintained in his posit- Lion, and given $120, representing the | amount earned to date, and the burean was placed under the supervision of Aldermen Beausoleil, Connaughton and Marso is.Ald.Rainville said that there were a number of claims against the city result: ing from failure to proceed with expropriations; was there a fund for the payment of those claims ?Mr.Ethier said there was $20,000 available, besides the reserve.It was decided to postpone judgnient until the City Council had the issue of the $20,000 of bonds specially

on Charlevoix and Centre Streets last spring.He said the interested parties were ready to accept the offers of the experts, amounting in all to $870.The committee decided to recommend the granting of the amounts subject to the approval of the city attorney.Ald Jacques also presented the claim of the widow of fireman Blanchet, who died from the consequences of wounds received on duty.If that fact was proved ne would be entitled to 31,000, but to avoid litigation she would accept $500.The committee awarded her $300, reserving all her rights.Mr.Riopel, who has peen awarded $3,50) for the damages

Murderer.ARRESTED LAST NIGHT TO BREAK THE COMBINE.TWO MONTREAL GENTLEMEN WILL GO TO NEW YORK, Where They Will See What Can Be Done to Burst the Cigarette Trust.Mr.J.N.St.Jean, advocate, will leave for New York in a few days, with Mr.J.M.Fortier, the tobacco man.Both are going to see what means can be taken.in law, to break up tbe tobacco, or rather At Maisonneuve, and Brought Back to the City.One of the Men Who Are Accused, Quite a sensation was caused in the detective bureau this morning when Chief O'Farrell.of Maisonneuve, telephoned that he had every reason to believe that one of the murderers of Frederick Linteau who was fatally stabbed by a party of Italians on Montcalm Street, on the night of New Year\u2019s day, the Italians being held responsible by the coroner\u2019s jury, was in his hands.Up to this morning the police had only one prisoner to answer to the charge.Pasquale Ciarlo has been in the hands of the authorities several days, and was sent | before the Police Magistrate yesterday to plead to the charge of having taken a fellow being\u2019s life.But justice was not satisfied.It was wot at all certain that Ciarlo was the guilty party, and three other Italians had been indicted on the same charge by the : Coroner\u2019s jury.They had all threc dis | appeared from the cily; every search was in vain.They could rot be found any where, so it was decided to send out a circular containing a description as com: plete as could be obtained of the three men who were wanted.This printed circular called for the arrest of Leonardo Calucchi, Leonardo Va- nelli, and Dominico Firoiti for murder.The description of Leonardo Calucchi was as follows :\u2014\u201cA lad of 17, light brown complexion and light brown hair.Smooth shaven face and alightly built.\u201d This cir cular was sent to all the chiefs of police of the Provinee of Quebee, and of the principal cities of the United States.Chief O\u2019Farrel, of Maisonneuve, received one this morning, and on reading the description of Calucchi, he was struck by the resemblance to a prisoner whom he had arrested last night for loitering., He telephoned the detectives\u2019 office, and immediately Detective Trempe went to Maisonneuve and brought the man to the Detective\u2019s Office where he was put through a close examination.The prisoner\u2019s appearance tallies with that furnished by those who knew Ca- luechi, and his demeanor justified the belief that the police have caught one of the trio.The prisoner's coat was ripped up the back, as if it had been done in a fight.He was nearly starved to death and virtually devoured the food which was set before him by the police.Although an interpreter was engaged, absolutely no information could be obtained from him as to his name, address and connections.He once said that he was a nephew of the Calucchi who was wanted by the police, and the next instant he denied having said that much.Altogether his answers were very unsatisfactory, and only tended to strengthen the authorities\u2019 suspicions that they have the right man.It was decided to keep the prisoner until to-morrow upon the charge of vagrancy, and in the interval efforts will be made to have him identified.THEY WILL NOT SPEAK, O.P.R.Officials Dumb Concerning the Building of the Crow's Nest Pass Railway.The regular monthly meeting of the directors of the Canadian Pacific Railway was held last Monday, and somehow or other a rumor to the effect that important action was taken regarding the Crow\u2019 Nest Pass Railway has gained credence in local railway circles.has been taken, or in what position the Canadian Pacific now stands toward the Federal Government and toward that of British Columbia is of course the prime interest, and a Herald reporter was sent to see the president, Sir William Van Horne, on the subject this morning.The reporter saw Sir William, or, at legst, he saw so much of Sir William's generously proportioned frame as could be distinguished through the opening of a door for three inches, and then Mr.Alez- ander, the president\u2019s secretary, politely referred the enquirer to Mr.Drinkwater, secretary of the company.Mr.Drinkwater, while customarily urbane, could not in the wildest dreams of imagination have been considered jo quacious.He did not even say that the Crow\u2019s Nest Pass matter had ever been whispered by the directors.In fact, he did not care to say anything begond stating the fact that the regular meeting of the directors had been held.When com pared with this, the average oyster is po- gitively garrulous.It was Sir William Van Horne's busv day, as General Superintendents Abbot of the Pacific Division, Whyte of the Western Division, and leonard of the O.and Q.Division are all in the city to discuss their appropriations with him.HON.MR.TARTE ILL.He is Suffering From Inflammation of the Liver\u2014Will Come to Montreal.Ottawa, Jan.13.\u2014Yesterdav Hon.Ja Israel Tarte was suddenly

Property Which is Attracting Much Attention.Grennwood City, B.C., Jan.13.\u2014(Special.) \u2014A property which is beginning to attract attention is the Old lronsides of Greenwood Camp.À contract has just been completed for the sinking of a fifty- foot shaft, and work is to be continued in this shaft all winter by the company owning the property.A whim has been | purchased, a shaft-house and cabins are D.! | | à | | ta be built, and all necessary improvements made for permanent development.Other work already done consists of an open cut 150 feet across the ledge about the centre of the claim, and a cross-cut tunnel about 100 feet from the north end line.The showing of ore is very large.The shaft is being sunk in the ledge and has been in solid ore all the way down.The cross-cut tunnel also shows ore, and so does the open cut.The vein seems to be from 100 to 150 feet wide.It is such a mass of ore that it has not yet been fairly explored, even on the surface, and much remains yet to be determined.It now geems to be one of the largest ore bodies in the boundary country.The ore has a heavy excess of iron and | carries both gold and copper.The copper is shot through in a manner peculiar to the Old Ironsides and Knob Hill, these two claims being on the same ledge.The ore now being taken from the shaft runs from $3 to $50 in gold.It is proposed to gink the shaft 100 fet and then the crosscut.In this \u201cmanner, it is believed, the proper character and etxent of the mine can be determined., The claim is crown grnated, and the ofli- cers of the company owning it are: S.E.Rigg of the Spokane Drug Company, president: J.P.Graves of Spokane ,vice-presi- dent; J.W.Penfield, secretary and treasurer, and the trustees are J.P.Graves, W.A.Ritchie and O.G.Laberee.Mr.Henry White of White\u2019s Camp is in immediate charge of the development work.The company is well equipped financially, and the property is very certainly a promising one.WAS ROBBHD OF $800.Sault Ste.ment

The referee was W.C.Young, caplain of the Ottawas, who won such golden .opin- icns for his work in the Winnipeg match.He had a nice new crease down the front of his brown trousers, but he hadn\u2019t any umpires.Michael Polan, of the Shamrocks, was readily agreed upon to act at one end of the rink, and then the referee, with Captains James and Grant, started out to find another.It took them a vexa- ticusly long time, so at any rate the on- Tookers thought, but at last W.A.Aird.the old-time M.A.A.A.lacrosse min, was selected, and the band played on.Meanwhile, the crowd yelled itself black in the face.Montreal sympathisers were so largely in the majority that cheers for \u201cVictoria\u201d were utterly lost in stentorian shouts for \u201cMontreal! Montreal! Rah! Rah! Rah!\u201d and by the time the referee\u2019s whistle had blown for the commencement of the game, there was enough incipient laryngitis in the rink to give a throat specialist a thrill of pleasure.To attempt to criticize the game would be rash indeed, but without doing injustice to anyone it may be said that the victory of the champions, snatched as it was from the jaws of defeat, can be fairly credited ts the work of Captain Mike Grant of the Victorias.Not merely because he scored the game which won the contest, but for the reason that throughout the whole match he gave an exhibition of defenca work which has seldom been equalled and never excelled.conclusion that the result of the match depended on the Victoria defence rather than on the attack, and that such was the case can hardly be denied.Comparr- sons between two forward lines such as those that appeared on the ice last night cannot be made at all.They were both so geod that the most captious critic would find himself in a quandary, but it remains that the Victoria point and cover-point were called upon to relieve far more often than were the Montrealers occupying simi: lar positions, and yet there were many more shots on the Montreal goal than on the Victorias.Collins was simply a won- er.Baird at cover point put up the game of his life and James filled points posi tion to perfection.Barioy, McKerrow, Horsfall and Howard were the terrible four whose onslaughts kept the Victoria defence so busy and their work could not have been improved upon.McKerrow's quick and acurate shooting was one of the features of the match.The Victorias were similarly well-bal- anced.Lewis proved a veritable stonewall.Henderson played with coolness And judgment throughout.Grant\u2019s work bas already been referred to and had the forward line followed his lifts with their customary dash the chances in Victorias\u2019 favor would have been materially increased.Between Drinkwater, Me- Lea, Davidson and MacDougall it would be difficult to distinguish.Their combination work and shooting on goal deserved every bit of the enthusiastic applause with which it was greeted.St was particularly gratifying in a match of such great importance to have & conclusion reached with no loss of temper on either side.Only once did the referee have to impose a penalty end then for a minor offence.Mr.Young discharged his onerous duties with perfect satisfaction to both sides.The only regrettable feature of the evening was the hooting and hissing in which too large a proportion of the on- fookers joined from time to time.It fs remarkable that some people, otherwise respectable.can behave at hockey matches in a manner which would not be tolerated at a dog-fight.The players were putting up a clean, though hard game and to judge from advice shouted from the sides some of the spectators wanted them to go in for a \u201cscrap.\u201d It was a great plty.The teams took their places thus: Victorias.Montreal.Lewis.Goal.otlins Henderson.Point.James (Capt.) Grant (Capt.).Cover.,.Bnird Drinkwater.Forwards.Barlow McDougall, .\u2026.\u2026 \u201c «+o ee.McKerrow McLea.\u201c ee + .Fownrd Davidson.\u201c +.Horsfall Referee, W.C, Young, Ottawa: umpires, Michael Polan, Shamrocks; WW.Aird, M.AÀ.À.A.The Match.From the face the Victorias gained a momentary advantage but Baird relieved with a long lift down the rink and the puck went off the ice at the Victoria goal.McLea got it, out from the face and passed to Drinkwater who made a sensational run down the whole length of the rink and sent in a shot which Collins stopped and returned.There was an exchanre of long lifts by Grant and James which gave the forwards a breathing spell and then Barlow and This would lead to the Howard got past the Victoria captain and Howard sent in a shot which Henderson turned aside.Davidson securing made a fine dodging run with Drink water as his partner.Macdougall lending an occasional hand.The Montreal de: fence was passed and Drinkwater scored with a swift shot from straight in front.The Montreal goal was endangered early in the second game, but Collins, Baird, and James were able to look after everything that came their way.Barlow made one of his beautiful runs, and with Horsfall and Howard went the full length of the rink, but the shot went wide.The play was remarkably even now.First it would be a Victoria rush, and next a Montreal man would have the puck in front of the Vic- tcria citadel.Once things looked bad for | Montreal, for the puck hovered right in front of goal, and in the scrimmage both pcsts were knocked down.Grant broke his skate, and a wait ensued.The Vics took the aggressive again, and twice Collins was called on to save, when Barlow | gecured from Baird\u2019s pass and ran through the Victoria line, passed to Horsfall, who, to elude Henderson, turned the puck over to Mackerrow, who sent in a hot one and evened up the score after 17 minutes\u2019 play.There was no further scoring in athe first half.The Vics were on the defensive, and once the puck was put through by Montreal, though the goal was disallowed for an off-side play.Barlow made another of hia dangerous at- facks at the very commencement of the second half, but Grant relieved.Drink- water followed quickly, and secured the puck, but was unable to shoot before Baird was on him.The game was tamer than it had been, but the excitement was raised by a wonderful lift by Grant clean into the Montreal goal, and just as won derful a\u2019save by Collins.The Vies took the aggréssive, and MacDougall scored by a remarkably long shot from the side.The puck struck the pole, and bounded through.The Vices\u2019 crowd went wild with joy, and the Montreal sympathizers were correspondingly dolelul when, two minutes later, McLea scored again from a pass by Davidson, Montreal \u2018relaxed not a whit, though the score was 3 to 1 against them.Baird's great work at cover and that of James at peint stopped rush after rush of the Vics, who seldom were given a chance to annoy Collins.Then Montreal began a long attack.Try as they would, the Vies could not get the puck away.Horsfall and Howard were playing like demons, and every now and again Barlow or MeKer- row would send in a shot for luck.Bar- lcw had a splendid chance once right in front, but he lifted too high, and the puck struck the gallery.But this could not go on for ever, and after over a quarter- hour\u2019s play, MeKerrow eluded the vigilance of Lewis.Things looked better for Montreal, and thev looked still better when the blue and white took the aggressive again, and Hors- fall scored after three minutes.Now things were even up, and the excitement was tremendous.McKerrow\u2019s wrist was hurt in a melee, and MeLea was stunned by a heavy fall, but both were able to continue, The Vies bucked up, and started a desperate attack.Tt was too desperate, for Davidson and Collins got tangled up in an embrace, and the referee, by way of discouraging such enthusiasm, ruled them both off.Then Montreal made a grand rush, which Henderson stopped.Maedougall secured, and :by playing the \u201ccushion\u201d along the side, reached the Montreal end and scored again.Only a minute remained, but in that minute Barlow and McKerrow took the puck down, and the former evened the gccre once more, Time was up, and the teams changed erds to play the deciding game.The excitement was intense, and the roars of a] plause continuous.Davidson opened with a clever run and pass to Drinkwater, who skated over the puck.Barlow secured and sent in a shot which made the Vic torias\u2019 teeth chatter, but Lewis saved and Grant securing, lifted.It was a beautiful lift, for it struck right in front of Collins\u2019 feet.It was impossible for him to sec it, and to the astonishment of everybody, the puck bounded through the goal and the match was over.There was a gasp of amazement, and then the Victoria crowd swarmed on the ice, and yelled itself into an \u2018apoplectic state.Summary: » Game.Won by.Scored by.Time.1st Half.¥ 1 Victorias.Drinkwater.9 min, 2 Montreal.McKerrow., .17 min.2nd Half.3 Victorias.MacDougall.4 min.4 Victorias.McLea.> Min.5 Montreal.|

by giving exhibition matches.The evening was speut inost happily and no one to have looked at the party would have imagined that a few minutes before the players had been tangled in one of the

three o'clock Monday morning, gad thir- tcen valuable racing horses, including John Mariner's $10,000 Tiddleywinks, were cremated.The.fidelity of \u201cTony\u201d Brown, a hostler, te this horse will probably cost him his life.In attempting to lead the horse from tbe burning building he was {rightfully THE HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1397 burned about the face and back, and his recovery is extremely doubtful.The loss will be about $30,000, on which there is barely £2,500 insurance.William Hurett, a watchman, was at first supposed to have been burned, but he was later scen in the city, and was arrested, charged with having fired the building.A north: cast gale which prevailed saved the large grand stand from destruction.CANADIAN ANNOUNCEMENTS.It's about time the Cunadian jockey

meetings, but unless a limit is fixed by law there 1s a danger that if a fifteen days\u2019 meeting is a success financially the clubs are liable o extend the meetings and increase their earnings.While it has been rumored that a hill to limit racing will be introduced at the next session of Parliament, it 1s not pos itively known that such iz the case.The bill introduced last year by

Orchardson, took place last wuek at Ment Boron, and ended in favor of the Zacitic Coast champion.It must not for a moment be thought that there was any collusion between the shooters.On the contrary, unfortunately, there was bad blood between the rivals from the commencement, for no souner did Robinson arrive on the ground than he asked to see the birds, and remained in the pigeon room alone with the employes fully ten minutes.Coming out, he proposed to M.Bertrand, the directeur of the Tir, to usk Orchard- son to allow two strangers, in the shape of two street boys who never trapped pigeons in their lives, to take the place of the ordinary trappers.To this the Englishman, a splendid speci men of the British sportsmen, replied, al thcugh evidertly nettled: \u201cAnything yon like, so long as we begin the match.Have two ladies to trap if it pleases you,\u201d and, after a pause, he added: \u201cSay, would you like two boys to retrieve, instead of dogs?\u201d Here the incident closed.not exchange a word until they shook hands when all was over.The light was dull and gray, with not a breath of air to help the birds.This was considered by the betting division to be worth fully £150 in wagers over the result in favor of the American.Orchardson won the toss and led off, but first bird.Then the game went merrily on until eighteen pigeons had been grassed ir: succession, and at the end of the first twenty the score stood: Robinson, 18.Orchardson, 17.When twenty-eight birds had been trap- : red Robinson had tweuty-five to his credit.At the conclusion of the second twenty the American

Authority Speaks of the \u2018Recent Showing.Regarding Grand Trunk Railway earnings the London Statist says: \u201cPartly In consequence of the one working day less in November this vear than last year, the earnings of the Grand Trunk of Canada Company for the month show the small increase of £303 on its combined] system.The contrast will, however, be reversed in Devember, when there will be one working day more this year than from 114 to 20.last.The expenses of the month «ere veduced £3,438, and the net earnings increased £3,741.For the five months to the end of November gross earnings increased £74,484, expenses increased only £20,010, and net earnings gained £351,174, In December for the first three weeks there was an increase in traffic of about £9,000, and it is possible that the increase in net results may possibly reach £15,000 or £20,000.Assuming the larger incra2ise for December, the total increase in net earnings for the half-year would be some £74,000.While this is a considerable recovery in the net results of the company, fn further very considerable increase is necessary for the system to earn its fixed charges.Tor the year 1895 its net earnings fell short of fixed charges by £150,000.For the first half of 1895 there was an improvement in the net results of some £26,000.If net earnings for the current half-year increase £74,000, the results of 1896 would be some £100, 000 better than for 1895, but still leaving a deficiency of £50,000 in meeting fixed charges.Were trade in the United States to improve, and Canadian trade thereby be stimulated, the Grand Trunk would sooh be in a position to pay its fixed charges.The outlook is certainly more hopeful than it has been.\u201d FUTURE OF STOCKS, Immediate Outlook Regarded as Quite ° Uncertain.The Wall Street outlook is thus referred to by Dimock & Co., \u201cThe immediate future of the \u2018stock market is uncertain, I*ut it is reasonably sure that the opening prices of 1897 will be lowered, probably twenty per cent.during the year.Take five typical stocks, Gas, Sugar, Burlington, Paul, and Rock Island.Such a devline would only bring them to the average low quotations of the last tour years.To reach ; the average high quotations of these years woull require an advance of cleven per cent.This may also occur, but there is a chance of loss in buying which is euzgcsted Ly the course of another group of stocks during the safe period.At.declined from 36 to 3.B.O.frog 98 tc 10.ix 15.N.P.Pr.from 50 to J and U.P.from 43 to 4.58 railroads with %1.- 159,000,000 stock and bonds were sold

1897.The plethora of money which is expected to boom stocks, consisits, of the paper tokcné of a redundant currency, which must be retired, less they renew their deadly work of driving gold from the country.The public have no surplus, and the protected plutoerats will not buy decoy stocks which promise dividends, but levy assessments.\u201d MONTREAL STOCK EXCHANGE.The noon prices en the local
