[" Ce, New a Vv) a 2X .FRAY ie RE er pe Œle Fferald.To-morrow\u2014Fair and Cold.Yesterday's Weather\u2014Steady at 33 above, The Opinions of Men of all Shades of Politics Collected by The Herald\u2014DMany Different Views.The proposal for the reform of the Senate, which Sir Wilfrid Laurier made at the Monument National meeting, is the subject of much general discussion in Montreal.The proposition is that in cases of disagreement between the two Houses of Parliament there shall be held a joint session, and the disagreement shall be determined by a majority vote of the members of the House voting as one body.Here are some opinions :\u2014 BOWELL SEES NO GOOD.Conservative Leader in the Senate Opposes Sir Wilfrid's Plan of Senate Reform.Sir Mackenzie Bowell, of Belleville, ex- Prenrier of Canada, ex-Minister of Cus- tems, and now leader of the Conservatives in the Senate, was in Toronto yesterday, and when interviewed expressed himself quite freely concerning Sir Wilfrid's proposition regarding the reformation of the Senate and other matters before the public.Sir Mackenzie, of course, had little that vias good to say about the Laurier administration.He scoffed at the proposal for Senate reform, objected to the two cent postage rate, and threw cold water on the hopes for a treaty with tle United States.He was hard at work at the speech of the Premier when I began questioning him concerning the sins of the Senate, and how to remedy them, \u201cReally,\u201d said he, \u201cuntil I learn more about what the Premier intends to do, .what his suggestions practically are, 1 can say little about this Senate proposal of his.It does seem absurd, though.I take it that he intends under certain circumstances, such as when the Senate tales objection to any wrongdoing of the Commons, to have a joint vote of the Commons and Senate.\u201cIt would certainly be a very easy and certain mothod of destroying the value of the Senate.There is little difference between his proposal and abolition.\u201cWhat would become of Ministerial responsibility under that system ?\u201d continued the ex-Premier.\u201cIf the representative chamber in a British Government defeats a Government measure the Government resigns.If the appointed chamber defeats 1t the Government does not resign.What if this combination should defeat the measure ¥ Would the Cabinet resign ?\u201d \u201cThe proposition is un-British, Not in Great Britain nor in any colony under British rule, is there such a mixed- up combination of governing bodies.It cannot be.\"The Senate of Canada, ue- cording to Sir Wilfrid Laurier, is an anomaly.I do not understand what is meant by that.We are a bit different from the House of Lords, but our position is not anomalous.\u201d \u201cWhat do you think™ about two cent postage ?\u201d 1 asked.\u201cThe country is not ripe for if vet,\u201d replied Sir Mackenzie.\u2018The Government is forcing the newspaper publisher, now charged postage, to pay for the reduction on the letter of the private citizen, who is receiving a gift.\u201d \u201cDo vou object to postage on news- pavers ?\u201d I enquired.\u201cNo, I do not,\u201d replied Sir Mackenzie.\u201cThough I was in the Government when newspaners were permitted to be sent free, still T see no reason why newspapers should not pay postage.\u201d \u201cNot until the revenue from a two cent stamp will justify a two cent Tate should the reduction be made,\u201d concluded Sir Mackenzie.\u201cOf course.\u201d he added, \u201ci es to come to be consistent with the United States rate and the British penny postage.\u201d \u201cWhat do you think about a tariff treaty with the United States ?\u201d I ask- \u20ac \u201cI can say very little about that,\u201d answered Sir Mackenzie.\u201cI would rather wait until I saw the treaty which Sir Wilfrid Laurier brings back with him.The Anglo-American idea, perhaps, has re- suited in changing our neighbors very much.I cannot say as to that.If it has completely converted them, and unless their attitude has been entirely reversed since I was a party to negotiations with them, there need be no hope of a treaty unless we are prepared to sacrifice everything.\u201d ' \u2014_\u2014 HON, MR.MILLS OPINION.He Thinks That Sir Mackenzie Bowell Is Laboring Under a Misapprehension.Ottawa, Ont., Jan.5.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Hon.David Mills is of opinion that Sir Mackenzie Bowell\u2019s criticism of the proposal to reform the Senate on the lines suggested by Sir Wilfrid Laurier is founded upon a misapprehension of the scheme.\u201cSir Mackenzie,\u201d said the Minister of Justice, \u201craises the point that under our constitutional system a Government is supposed to resign upon defeat in the elective chamber, but is not considered as being chliged to resign upon an adverse vote of the appointed, or Upper Chamber, so that in the event of an adverse joint vote of both Houses this sound principle would be violated by any course that would be taken.Now there is no intention of disturbing the existing system in that respect.\u2019 .\u201cIf a Government measure were rejeat- ed by the House of Commons there would be no resort to the joint vote of both Houses at all; the Government would be considered as defeated.If, however, a Government measure were passed by the Commons and defeated in the Senate, then, and then only, would the issue b.submitted to a joint vote of both Houses.A decision adverse to the Government would then be treated simply as an adverse decision by the Upper House, not necessitating the resignation of the Government.\u201d In an interview in to-day\u2019s Citizen a Toronto University student says that Hon.David Mills delivered a lecture recently before them on the weakness of the Can- \u2018adian Senate, and suggesting that it should be reformed on the lines now suggested by the Premier.CONSERVATIVE CRITICS.| Opposition Newspapers Waturally Do Not Fall in With the Proposal of the Premier, Quebec, Jan.5.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Comment- ing upon Sir Wilfrid's speech in Montreal the Unronicle says :\u2014Sir Wilfrid Laurier gave his views regarding the Senate at Montreal more detiniteiy than he usually speaks on public matters.According to the Premier, the Senate is not to be abolished, as the Patrie and the Giobe, following Mr.Tarte\u2019s lead, have been demanding.It is, on the contrary, now of- ficiably recognized as a necessity in the machinery of government, but a necessity which the administration of the day, if its majority is large enough, is to have the | privilege of dispensing with.Referring to the proposal that the Senate and House : of Commons meet as one body, it says :\u2014 To a superficial statesman.this would seem an easy way out of the ditticulty that now exists.Under this plan, a Government having a majority in the Commons sufficient to make up for its deficiency in the Senate would be subjected to no check whatever from that body.On the other hand, a Government whose followers it: the popular chamber did not compen- i sate for any shortage it might have in the Senate would be unable to carry any de- batakie legistation through Parliament if it divided upon party lines, and the weakness of the proposal is that it would have the effeat of making the Senate more of a political chamber.\u2018lo a believer in de- mceratie institutions it has special objections.The joint body as proposed would practically determine the legislation of Canada.Before the scheme can be inaugurated the different provinces should be consulted, the Senate will have to become a consenting party, and the Imperial Parliament will have to give its sanction.of the joint Parliament superceding Brit- i:h institutions as we have them in this country.St.John, N.B., Jan.5.\u2014(Special.)\u2014 The Sun, Conservative, says the course which Sir Wilfrid Laurier proposes will not make the Senate, or any member of it, more responsible than it is now, but it may relieve the Government of some of its responsibility.The country is probably prepared to hear with attention and to seriously consider a well-considered scheme of Senate reform.Many people Lelieve that the present system does not provide an altogether satisfactory legislative organization.Objections to life ap- \u2018pointment may be made and supported by strong arguments.But Sir Wilfrid, though the talks of Senate reform, has no Senate reform to propose.lle proposed no change in the constitution of the Chamber, but only some limitation of its power.He has no scheme of Senate reform.He produces ouly a recipe for a parliamentary cocktail.ee MANY DIFFERENT V1IEWS- People at St.Juhn Look at the Question from Various Standpoints \u2014 The Premier Commended.St.John, N.B., Jan.5.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The Globe, Liberal, says Sir Mackenzie Bowell in stating his objection to Sir Wilfril lLaurier\u2019s plan for reforming the Senate, shows his smartness, but not his wisdoin.\u201cHis plan, we should think at first sight, will appeal by its very moderation to the good sense of the people.At any rate it is worth considering upon its merits.l\u2019erhaps the greatest trouble is not in the measure itself, but in the difii- culty of elfecting any reform if the subject is not approached in a somewhat broader way than that which Sir Mackenzie Howell appears to have approached it.\u201d Senator Lewis thought the proposition for joint meetings a fair and reasonable one.Col.Domville, JL.P., said everybody was agreed that the Senate needed reforming.For his part he favored an elective body, but the scheme proposed by the Premier was worthy of a trial, but he feared the results it would accomplish would not be very great.J.D.Hazen, ex-M.P., considered the proposition an absurd one.He thought Sir Mackenzie Bowell had asked a very pertinent question, and said it appeared that the Premier had overlookel the fact that the Government at all times had the right to appeal to the pesple on questions wn which it was opposed by the Senate.No doubt some Senate reform was needed, but it was difficult to say just how this should be effected.Perhaps it was not wise \u2018to have life appointees.Mr.Ellis, M.P., saad: \u2018\u2018Personally I am in favor of the abolition of the Senate entirely.\u2018The idea of two bodies pre-sup- poses the existence of two orders in the state, one of which requires more care than the other.Failing its abolition L would \u2018have an elective body chosen for the same term as was the ILouse and dis- solvable by the Governor-General.As regards Sir Wilfrid\u2019s scfieme it is good as far \u2018as it goes, very moderate, and a fair effort to grapple in a reasonable way with an evil of considerable magnitude.\u201d Dr.Silas Alward, M.P.P., said the Senate does not meed reforming.OPINIONS IN TORONTO.Globe for Abolition, While the World and Mail Say There is Lots of Trouble Ahead.Toronto, Jan.5\u2014(Special.)\u2014The World to-day says: \u201cSir Wilfrid, if he is in earnest, is embarking in plunging the country into an unnecessary struggle that may draggle over ten

There is, therefore, no immediate danger | MONTREAL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 1899.Help the Intercolonial.A very significant part of the speech delivered by Hon.J.I.Tarte at the Monument National on Tuesday evening was that in which he referred to the railway policy he has in view and to the negotiations which he has in hand.He would not, he said, lift the entire vel, but only a corner of it, to show what was going on behind the scenes.He was at the present moment, he said, in negotiation- with the Grand Trunk Railway Company, with the object of having a direct line of railway between the west of Ontario and Montreal, so that this port would in the near {future ccmpete with the great harbors of the United States.What the Minister of Public Works is believed to have in view is the acquisition by the Government of the Ottawa and Parry Sound Raïlway and its partner on this forms a junction with the Grand Trunk The Intercolonial runs into Montreal, and by obtaining running pow-

hand, and Paspebiac on the other.This traffic from the lake steamers to Atlantic ports; for to reach Atlantic ports both verse portions of the state of Maine.The scheme is of a striking character, as it would practically mean the establishment side of Ottawa\u2014the Canada Atlantic, which of a third great railway system from the would be the only all-Fanadian route for \u2018 the Grand Trunk and

the Intercolonial and the Canada Atlantic, and thus with the Farry Sound but it would be by a roundabout and ess satisfactory route.The Grand Trunk would prabably be prepared to give running powers upon certain terms and conditions.How far the negotiations havo been carried it is impossible to say, but Mr.\u2018Tarte rather indicated that they were almcst completed.In any case they are understood to be in progress.The Intercolonial, should the scheme be canried through, would be able to tap the sources of traffie, would share a part of the commerce of the Far West, would com: mand the Richelieu valley and command several feeders in the lower provinces.\u2014_\u2014 x \u2014\u2014 them so for a purpose.A Senate reformed be 1m every way a worthless chamber.\u201d he replied, \u201cit 1s a red herring hurriedly drawn across tlre tract to cover up une failure of his Washington mission.If it isn't a red herring it is a political lobster.\u201d \u201cWhat's that?\u201d \u201cAsk the New York Sun.\u201d \u201cRevision,\u201d Says the Globe.The Globe says: \u201cStrictly speaking, it is not a reform of tne Senate that is pro: posed, but a provision for minimizing the danger of conflict between Senate and Commons.lt leaves untouched the essen which Senators are appointed, namely, selection by the dominant party of the day.It lessens the power of the Senate to obstruct: but 1t does nothing, so far as is indicated, to make the Senate useful.We have no objection to tue change so rar as it goes, but we think it does not gu tar enough.We adhere to our opinion that the only thorough remedy is abolition.\u201d The Mail Hysterical.The Mail and Empire says: \u201cWe are not surprised at the Laurier compromise between abolition and continued existence That

against a projected rascality the lower house would be called in to swamp it.courage to join with the bad element in the call for abolition, but he wants to help that faction all the same.Ilis plan chops down our defence, opens the treasury to the exploiters, and yet continues to charge us for the services of the police.\u201d LOCAL OPINIONS.What Montreal Business and Professional Men Think of the Premier's Policy.Mr.J.M.Ferguson's opinion was as follows: \u201cThe plan of reform proposed by the Premier is, 1 think, a splendid one, and should work out admirably.In the United States there is a provision for a joint conference between the two houses where there is a deadlock, although there, of course, the Senate 1s more amenable to the will of the people.That scems to work to a great deal of advantage.Sir Wilfrid\u2019s plan has the merit of not being existing conditions and institutions, which should render them more workable and serviceable.\u201d It Needs Much Attention.Mr.I.St.Germain: \u201cI have long hoped that a statesman capable of doing the thing properly would take hold of this important question.Were it not that you would decline to publish my opinion of vou.lt is not printable.Yes, there is need for reform.Regarding a combined vote on important matters, that 1s for those in authority to decide.One thing is sure: 'L'he Senate needs as much attention as our City Council, and that\u2019s as strong as 1 can put it.\u201d A Statesmanlike Job.Mr.Daniel Ford\u2014\u201cI can see the work of a statesman in the Premier's action.While it seems to me that the Senate cannot be abolished altogether, yet it is well that a reformation should take place.Just how it is to be done remains to be seen, but it is evident that the time has arrived for a commencement.Sir Wilfrid 8 speech was certainly to the point.Not Drastic Enough.Mr.Henry Miles, treasurer of the Board of Trade, did not think the plan propos- od would meet the main objection to the Senate, that of its non-representative choracter.He said : \u201c\u201cThe Scnate should be clective, and for a term of years.The life appointments are bound to carry with them disadvantage to public interests in the long run.It matters not which political party is in power, cither, at one period or another, is surely met by the antagonism of the Upper House.The Liberal Administration is liable to have valuable legislation blocked at any moment now, and in ten or fifteen years hence the Conservatives may find a similar opposition to the will of the people\u2019s representatives.I do not think the voting together of the two Houses will relieve the situation.In some cases it might, but with \u2018such an adverse majority as the Government have against them to-day in the Senate, it would be useless.It would lead to bad feeling, doubtless, and it can- pot be said that to the public mind it would place the Senate in any more representative character than it possesses to-day.Let the legislatures of the provinces elect the Senators every five years and the Upper House will more closely represent the people.\u201d Senate the Product of Fraud.Mr.W.A.Weir, M.P.P.:\u2014\u201cThe Sen- pte as at present constituted is the product of fraud upon the people of Canada.Confederation was first proposed in tle old Legislative Assembly of Upper ap! Lower Canada by the Hon.George Brown, and the Liberal party earnestly dependent one of the other, and made as Sir Wilfrid proposcg to reform it wouid | W.i.Maclean, M.P., was asked what he thought of Sir Wilfrid's proposal.\u201cOh,\u201d .tially vicious character of the method by Sir Wilfrid has not the: 3.radical change, but a modification of the Senate as it is to-day, 1 would tell su ledders entering into a coalition government for the purpose.At that time the i pledge was publicly given to the people of the country that all interests would be afforded a fair representation in the Senate, and both parties treated equitably.This pledge was cynically broken, and the Senate became, in the main, a house of refuge for broken-down Lory hacks, who had been rejected by the constituencies.It harassed and impeded the administra- tron of Dominion affairs by the Mackenzie Government, and relapsed into servile docility when Tory Governments ruled the helm of state.Its majority is now led by the Hon.Sir Mackenzie Bowell, one of the most bitter partisans in the Dominion, and at his dictation has blocked and defeated measures of great importance to Canada, apparently only because they emanated from the Laurier Govern- \u201cment.Can a great country like ours be content with such a constitutional system ?Evidently not.It must be reformed sooner or later.As at present constituted, the Senate is a serious block to free constitutional government.The whole country, irrespective of party lira, should desire a change.The great age | of very many of the present Senators makes it quite possible that before long the Liberals may control a majority timre, and then the Conservatives may desire the change.If both parties unite now, there is no doubt the British Parliament would pass the necessary amendment to cur Constitutional Act.Unless there is a strong popular demand in Canada for the change, the *Brii\u2019s!y Parliament will not interfere.refused the Mackenzie Cabinet the power of naming six extra.Senators, as provided by szction 26 of the British North America Act, on the.ground that it seemed a move in the interest of a party.Their statesmen respect our political indepen- \u201cdence, and it seems to me that a general demand for the constitutional amendment will have to be made before there is any possibility of it being considered.The suggestion of Sir Wilfrid Laurier is simple, moderate and effective.I have no doubt it would be satisfactory and con- sonamt both with the dignity of the Senate and the rights of the people.At all events, it is high time that the power of a nominated and irresponsible body should have some check put upon its ability to impede the will of the elected representatives of the people.\u201d Should Be Endorsed.Mr.BE.J.Elliet: \u201cI think Sir Wilfrid\u2019s plan is one which we Liberals should en- dians.The Senate has needed some reform for a lomg time now, and the Government is pledged to do something in that direction.The plan of having the two Houses vote together on matters on which they are at odds is a good one, and I think it ought to prove very successful if ; put into force.There would be some ( chance then that the people\u2019s elected representatives would not bé out-voted by | men who represent no one.\u201d Out Against It.Mr.H.V.Truell, advocate: \u201cThe Sen- nate cannot be said to be as at present oonstituted an irresponsible body; it is amenable to public opinion and to the sense of justice that all men hold, and not least, men holding positions of dig- enity and honor like that of a Senator.The Senate has vinideated its position in our constitution on several occasions, recently, which most people will recollect.It has acted in the interest of the country and the public are grateful for its action, whatever the House of Commons ot the present administration may think.The system of a joint vobe, and the proposal that the majori tv should carry, would en- y deprive the Sen i eps e the Senate of its present CE com rm er Would Be An Improvement.subject of \u2018Senate reform\u2019 is by no means à new one.lf is one which becomes of first importance whenever the conflict between the upper and lower houses becomes so critical as to hamper the Government in its administration of the affairs of the country.The value of | a chamber uninfluenced by the exigencies of party political warfare is recognized by most economists, ; the difficulty being to obtain a body so constituted.doubtless only another of the innumerable difficulties arising from the \u2018limitations of human nature.\u201d The Premier has just made à suggestion with a view to prevent, for the future, the exerting of undue influence by the Senate upon legislation hav- ng its inception in the House of Con- mons, which, as directly representative of the people, should of necessity be emancipated from such influence to the greatest extent consistent with the principles of sound popular government.When one political party has been in power for a considerable time, the Senate, the appointments to which are made by the Government, has a distinct tendency to become overwhelmingly partisan in its composition.In this lies the danger it is sought to evade.As has been pointed out by the press, the Premier\u2019s idea is not exactly a new one, the practice of joint voting by the two chambers obtaining in Switzerland, Sweden and Brazil, I believe.The principle is also embodied in the scheme for the confederation of the Australian colonies.I'he idea underlying the projected reform is that, without destroying the influence for good of the irresponsible upper house, the responsible Commons will be freed from the humiliation of seeing its measures made of no effect _ owing to the Senate's veto.If this can be effected through the operation of Sir | Mr.Robert M.Harper, advocate: \u201cThe ugported the idea of confederation, its ' The English Government 4

Mattawamkeag Wednesday was a simple head-on collision between the express and freight train No.36, a case of two trains trying to pass on the same track.The accident occurred about four hundred yards west of Matta- wamkeag station.The speed of the express had doubtless been somewhat slowed down, but as it was the engines crashed together with much; force.Both were partially derailed.The postal car of the express was thrown off the irons, and the body of the car jumped the trucks and landed safely in the snow, but considerably splintered.| Fortunately the postal clerks, Jack Max- ; well and Peck, were uninjured.The second-class coadh left the rails, and suffered more or less, while the buffers of the first-class car were damaged.In the dining car and sleeper the shock was severely felt.In the first-named all the chinaware was demolished.Steward .Levessay was thrown violently against the , corner of a table, and a quantity of glass- | ware, etc., fell on top of him.He complained of considerable pain in his back, and was left under the care of a physician.In the sleeper most of the passengers were iin bed when the collision occurred, although some were dressing.None were hurt, although one or two were tossed about considerably, and will be sore for a day or two.To-day some of the passengers are complaining of stiff necks.The freight train fared little better than | the express, the locomotive receiving equal damage with the engine that hauled the express, and both i sume tune to come.The engineer and fireman jumped after doing all they could to avert the collision, and escaped unhurt.A flat car next the tender was broken almost in two, and thrown completely out of the train, the car back of it closing up to the tender.A train from McAdam, consisting of a postal and baggage, two colonist and a firist-class car, arrived about four thours after the accident, and the baggage and other stuff was transferred.This train arrived in St.John shortly before eight o'clock last evening.The passengers for points east and for England by the Vancouver were sent forward to Halifax without further delay.To-day the wrecking crews got the road clear, and the express due at noon is only about an hour late.It is understood Engineer McClusky, of the express, was struck in the face with a piece of iron and considerably bruised.Both McClus- ky and Tevessay are still at Mattawam- ceag, and it 1s impossible to get particulars of their condition.Gp The cause of the accident will not be known until an investigation is held.One report here says the freight train was partly on the main line and partly on the siding, and that the semaphore was not properly placed.Another report declares that Engineer McClusky is color-blind, and did not properly read the signals.Mr.A.H.Notman, district passenger agent, was on board, but declines to talk.He says the truth about the semaphore will be told at the enquiry.The passengers all praise the C.P.R.for the kindness and consideration shown them.Supt.Timmerman, who was in Montreal, left last night, and was at the scene of the wreck to-day.\u2014_\u2014 TO-NIGHT, Academy\u2014\u201c\u201cThe Circus

in ks at the Kee Club Honor of It.What may possibly prove only the first round in the contest between Mr.Fred.W.Johnson, the champion of the colored race, and the proprietors of the Academy of Music, was given this morning by Mr.Justice Archibald in favor of the former.Mr.Johnson is awarded fifty dollars damages, and there will be high jinks at the Kee Club to-night.A monster cakewalk will be a feature of the proceedings, and other means will also be employed to mark the satisfaction of our fellow-citizens of sable complexion to this distinet triumph.Judge Archibald\u2019s judgment commenced by reviewing the facts of the case.Mr.Johnson alleged that on March 11, 1898, he bought two seats, known as Nos.1 and 3, in row IX of the orchestra chairs of the public theatre kept by Messrs.Sparrow and Jacobs, known as the Academy of Music, said seats being for a representation io take place in said theatre on the evening of March 12th, 1898; that he (Mr.Johnson) presented himself, with a lady, on the evening of the said 12th March, to occupy said seats, but was forcibly ejected and forbidden to occupy said seats, and was greatly humiliated in the presence of a large number of persons; that, IN addition, he was obliged to expend money in go.ng to another theatre, and ne asked damages in the sum of $503.20.i Messrs.Sparrow and: Jacobs pleaded in substance, denying Mr.Johnson\u2019s allegations, and further alleging that that gen- tieman was a colored person, or negro; that it was a regulation of the Academy of Music, well known to Mr.Johnson, that no colored persons should be per- mwtted to occupy seats in the orchestra chairs, and that the coupons for seats in that part of the theatre, delivered to Mr.Johnson by Messrs.Sparrow and Jacob's employes, were so delivered under the influence of Mr.Johnson's false representation that such seats were required for a guest at the Queen\u2019s Hotel; that no violence was used, and no scene created with Mr.Johnson; that that gentleman was offered a seat in seats equally good in the dress circle, which Mr.Johnson refused, and if he spent any money in going to another theatre Messrs.Sparrow and Jaccbs were not responsible therefor.\u2018 1t appeared from the evidence that on the 11th of March Mr.Johnson, \u201choider of a pass for valuable consideration,\u201d presented the same at the office of the Academy and

Now a Convict.eer \u2018Woodstock, Ont., Jan.5.\u2014(Special.)\u2014 Rider Haggard, the novelist, would like very much to obtain possession of the let- tiers he wrote to Alex.Macdonald, alias iieginald Launceict Willoughby Middleton, swindler, bigamist and convict.The letters are still in Wocdstock, and W.F.Ho:and, a private detective of Toronto, is desirous of obtaining them and sending them back to the author.Holland has been corresponding with Mr.Haggard, and an interesting letter to him from the celebrated novelist appears below.1t 1s written on identically the same notepaper as the missives to Macdonald and Middleton were, and il the same handwriting frem Ditochingham House, Norfolk, and there is the crest of peculiar hieroglyphies.It reads :\u2014\u201cMy Dear Sir,\u2014I am much obliged by your kind letter.In the Ve- ginning of the year I did extend a day\u2019s hospitality to a man, who passed in London for Mr.Alexander Macdonald, a very well-known gentleman in Canada.Afterwards the person, who had deceived many, including the Times newspaper and my triends who had introduced him to me, was discovered to be a wicked imposter, and I am glad to hear that he has fallen into the hands of the law.As regards the letters spoken of, it is impossible to say anything about them unless I see them.I do not, however, understand what they have to do with the case, or why the police have handed them to the press without the permission of their alleged author.Thanking you very much for so kindly writing, believe me, yours truly, H.Rider | Haggard.P.S.\u2014DPlease consider this note as confidential.The whole affair is disagreeable, and I wish to have as little\u2019 connection with it as possible.Unfortunately people like myself are

Promoters, Returns to Settle in Montreal.1 Canadians in the United States Are Well Off, and Retain Their British Allegiance.Dr.George A.Baynes, one of the prime movers in the formation of the Canadian regiment in Chicago at the outbreak of the Spanish-American war, and its lieutenant-colonel, has returned to Montreal after an absence of some years, and will in future practise here.In conversation told how the regiment came to be raised, and said that the main idea underlying it was to give a practical example of Anglo- American unity and a tangible expression of sympathy with the United States.\u201cThe former antagonism shown to England by Americans is passing away,\u201d said Dr.Baynes.\u201cIn the past any little setback England got was hailed with plea- gure in the States, but now, on the contrary, such occurrences would be received with expressions of regret.This was plainly shown duning the Fashoda inci dent.The action of the Canadians in raising a regiment will not soon be forgotten, and will aid materially in bringing about a better understanding between the two ccuntries.That is the feeling of politi cians of all classes who have spoken to me, and several have expressed their conviction that there should be closer business relations between the countries.We had nice letters from the President and Secretary Alger thanking us for our offer of a regiment, and assuring us that our generous response when men were needed would not be forgotten.Canada is now being Jooked upon in the States as a factor in the world\u2019s affairs, thanks to the vigor and businesslike spirit of its Government.\u201d .Dr.Baynes .s an old Canadian militiaman, and is on the reserve of officers.He served in the Garrison Artillery during the Fenian raid, and after graduating in medicine at McGill he joined the Victoria it up on being called to England on business.While resident in the Old Country he was instrumental in securing a great number of emigrants for Canada.After | his removal to the Western States he car- i ried on the same good work.Speaking , of, Canadians in the States, Dr.Baynes | said :\u2014 \u201cCanadians are treated fairly and well | in the United States.They are preferred i in posts of trust to Americans, and all of them do well wherever they are found.They retains a strongly patriotic feeling tcwards Canada, and the most of them do Let give up their allegiance.I was never asked to surrender my British citizenship Or take the oath of allegiance, During the Venezuela controversy I was at the Lead of a movement and had a list of 200,000 Canadians, who, although they had lived in the United States for years, were prepared, if there was an open rupture, tu cross the border and shoulder a musket in defence of Canada.I believe all Canadians earning a living in the United States would be prepared at a moment\u2019s notice to return to defend their native land.All fair-minded prominent politicians | exert their influence in

little common sense attention to his health when he has it, and when he gèts a little out of sorts, take the right remedy.Many of the diseases that afflict mankind are traceable directly to indigestion, torpidity of the liver and impurities in the blood.Dr.Pierce\u2019s Golden Medical Discovery is the greatest medicine for disorders of this nature.It strengthens a weak stomach, corrects all disorders of the digestion, gives edge to the appetite, invigorated the liver, purifies and enriches the blood and tones up and invigorates the nerves.It searches out disease germs, kills them and carries them out of the system.It is the great blood-maker, flesh-builder and nerve-tonic and restorative.It makes strong, healthy men out of weak, sickly invalids.Medicine dealers sell it and no

Republicans to Join With Democrats in Pushing The Issue.mt Chicago, Jan.5\u2014William J.Bryan will have his own way, and in a very short time will sound the keynote of the national Democratic campaign of 1900, which will be silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.The fight against trusts and monopolies and opposition to imperialism, colonization and expansion will be issues, but subsidiary to that of silver.Silver Democrats, silver Republicans and Populists are to join together in the contest, and, as in 1896, Mr.Bryan will be the leader.This was settled upon at a meeting of the Ways and Means Committee of the National Democratic Comittee, which began yesterday, and lasted until far into the night.Those present were National Chairman James K.Jones, Senator Allen, of Nebraska, former Governor Altgeld, of Illinois, and W.H.(\u201cCoin\u201d) Harvey, representing ithe National Democratic Cola mittee; Senator Telier, of Colorado; former Congressman Towne, of Minnesoid, and former Senator Dubois, of Idaho.After the meeting, which took piace in Senator Jones\u2019 voom, at the Auditorium Annex, Senator Jones said: \u201cl am profoundly convinced the platform of 1930 will be essentially the same as that of 1896.The free silver plank will be as strong as ever, and the ratio will undoubtedly be the same, though the question of ratio is mot the question of silver.In my opinion the outlook could not be brighter or more encouraging.The Republicans have failed completely to carry out their promises, and are depending on the war for issues.They seek any sort of a subterfuge to keep the people away from the thougnts that they have made a total failure of all promises made.Dut the people are thinking.They will not forget the campaign of 1896.\u201d \u201cDio you think there is any tendency on the part of the Democracy to shelve the question ?\u201d \u201cI know there is not.All of this talk comes from the Republicans and from Republican newspapers.Eventually they fear the issue.\u201d - \u2018 \u201cOur meeting was harmonious from beginning to end,\u201d said former United States Renator Dubois, \u2018and silver Republicans and Democrats alike will bé\u2018intéhsely gratified at its outcome.\u201cThe %ilvé# Republicans will hold a great national convention and, I believe, it will be composed of tne best and most influential men.in gur party.\u201cIt will, in all probability, pe hgld at the same time and in combination with the silver Democratic convention, and the Populists.By the time these conventions are held we believe that {he money question will have again become dominant as the issue of the next Presidential campaign.We have absolutely no doubt nf this.It is a foregone conclusion.The silver men of ithe country of all political parties are now united, and from this time until the election will work together.Time must show the direction of to-day\u2019s meeting.For my part, I believe there is but one issue before us\u2014silver at sixteen to one.\u201d Senator Teller did not remain in the meeting very long, and former Governor Stone, of Missouri, telegraphed that he could nct be present.These gentlemen are not anti-expansionists, and Senator Teller is not inclined to think that Mr.Bryan is the strongest candidate the silver people could have, as he has been favorable to putting forward anti-imperialism as a strong issue.However this may be, Mr.Bryan has gone back \u2018to his first love, but just \u2018when he -will sound the expected keynote is not known.It may be at the Jackson banquet here on Saturday nicht next.He left for Nebraska at a late hour to-nighit, after refusing to say what the result of the meeting was.Springfield, Is, Jan.5\u2014The Democratic State Central Committee to-night declared itself for the Chicago platform and for William J.Bryan.Mr.Bryan was present and made an address, thant.ing the committee for the personal compliment, and congratulating the organization on its declaration in favor of free and unlimited coinage.\u2018The adoption of the resolutions endorsing silver and Mr.Bryan by unanimous vote was something of a surprise for it was expected that several of the members of the committee with leanings to the gold standard would oppose anv declaration in favor of the platform of 1896.NEWS FROM CORNWALL.St.Columban\u2019's Court, C.O.F., Elects Officers for

Will Not Be His Own Manager \u2014 A Proposed American Tour.London, Jan.5.\u2014The future of the foremost actor and of the leading playhouse in England has been the principal subject of talk since Sir Henry Irving's illness at Glasgow has cut short his tour and compelled him to take à winter\u2019s rest, and to abandon his season at the Lyceum Theatre, which is now occupied by the old Carl Resa Opera Company, and which ie sing- inz to a \u201ccorporal\u2019s guard.\u201d There are rumors that Irving may retire from the stage and sell the house.À number of papers report that George Edwardes will acquire the Lyceum and establish a brilliant comedy company.A representative of the Associated Press has been informed from the best source that Irving\u2019s plans are not to retire from the stage, but to abandon his career as an actor-manager.His physician has imperatively advised him to drop the cares of management, and as tha distinguished actor is feeling this age, it is impressed upon him that he is entitled to lighter la- Ors.When these suggestions were made he promptly acquiesced in them, and soon after approached Mr.Charles Frohman with a proposal to take the Lyceum, stipulating that he ¢hou'd himsdlf continue to play there, but for shorter seasons.suggested an American tour under Mr.Frohman\u2019s management.Mr.Charles Frohman replied that, after carefully

thanking Sir Henry for the com- piiment, the felt compelled to decline the proposal.The question of an American under consideration.The Lyceum seems to be a white elephant.Mr.Edwardes is anxious for fewer enterprises instead of more, and if he wins his suit for the control of Daly\u2019s Theatre in London, he intends to sell.Sir Henry is passing the winter at Bournemouth, on the south coast, and is steadily improving.He will start on his provincial tour at Easter, and go to the United States in the autumn to revive some of his most famous successes.Miss Ellen Terry is organizing a com-

been an extensive traveller, and has fanikiarized himsesf with the condition of the various sections of the Empire\u2014India, Cape Colony and wili complete a very thorough and useiul knowledge of all the more important sec tions of Britain beyond the sea.When the Liberal party last came to grief he was the only new member who held his seat in the Midbands.Mr.Shaw is a keen political student, but

will rally the forces of Liberavism and lead them to a glorious victory.lt is impossible, he says, to look for a Liberal leader in the House of Coun- mons at the present time.Sir William Marcourt\u2019s political force 18 spent and he has not personal influence sufficient to secure the enthusiasm, loyalty and zeal ot the younger members.Sir Henry Fowler commands great respect and in one of the great secrotawysinps woud render ws tinguished service.Mr.Moriey\u2019s path lies m the direction of literature rather than of statesmanship.Mr.Asquith\u2019s mind is too forensic, but no doubt he has a great future before him, and Sir Edward Grey is too young for the premiership.Mr.Her: bert (Gladstone, devpite the great intu- ence of his father\u2019s mame, has to win his way in the great departments of statesmanship.Phe conclusion to be drawn from a chat with Mr.Shaw is that Lord Rosebery is the only possible Prewnier, and he is gratified to think that under a Gov ernment of which he would be the head thinks that the great work England bas done in Egypt, the splemdid victory ot Lord Kitchener at Omdurman, the av- rangements for the future government ot fit to humanity.The

framing, if possible, a treaty of conciliation and of amity between the United States and the Dominion\u2014a treaty that will remove out of the way the ob- etacles to a good understanding between the countries that have too long existed, and will, it is hoped, mark the beginning of à new and better era in the relations cf the two peoples.It is not easy to overestimate the far-reaching importance to Canada of sudh a treaty, and the efforts of the Canadian Commissioners should therefore receive the most sympathetic consideration by all classes of Canadians.The dangers that lie in a failure bo consummate a treaty should impel all right- thinking citizens ito hope for a favorable conclusion of the negotiations now in progress.It should not be forgotten that a very brief \u2018time has elapsed since the States and Canada were literally growling in each other\u2019s faces.An alien labor law in the ' United States had provoked the passage of a similar measure through the Canadian Parliament.High duties imposed by Congress on Canadian lumber had led to a strident demand in Canada for am export duty on logs.The question of pelagic scal-fishing promised to develop into an international quarrel.Other open questions, suoh as the Alaska the At- luntic fisheries, threatened danger to the peace of the two countries.There was, on every hand, material for a most serious disagreement.And.this condition of affairs, be it remembered, may return boundary, and if the negotiations now in progress fail.The importance of a treaty that will place the friendship of the two countries on a firm and lasting foundation is evident.To accomplish this end concessions must needs be made by both sides, but there is no occasion for apprenension that the Canadian Commissioners will go one whit further than the dignity, honor and highest interests of the Dominion will permit.The impossibility of framing a treaty without conceding something that we would rather not concede is suggesting to certain Conservative journals that there is party capital to be made by charging that the Canadian Commissioners are paving the way to an abandonment of Canada\u2019s rights in this, that, or the other particular.The value of each anticipated concession is magnified, to the end that, if made, it can be shown to constitute a base surrender of the rights of the Dominion.Particular stress, for instance, is being laid on the value to Canada of the agreement by which the two countries bind themselves to refrain fram placing war vessels on the upper lakes.No one, in Canada at least, denies that this afree- ment is wise and salutary.But its continuance does not hinge on the pleasure only of the Dominion.Either party to it can break it, after sufficient notice, and there are signs that the United States Government may be forced to give such notice if a satisfactory arrangement be not soon arrived at.The ship-builders at the lake ports are clamoring for a share of the money being expended in the States on naval equipment, and it is probable that the Government cannot long withstand their demands.If, in order to Avoid the dangers end the expense that would follow the abrogation of the agreement, the Canadian Commissioners consent to a modification of it, they will have gained an important point.It surely shou'd be possible to meet the views of the lake ship-builders without forcing the two countries into a rivalry as to which could maintain the strongest fleet on the lakes.Any treaty that may be framed will be subject to the approval of the Ira- perial authorities, and it may be assumed that any propositions by the Canadian Commissioners, looking to a modification of an agreement bearing on the question of defence, will have had the previous approval of the.Imperial Defence Committee, members of which have lately been in Canada.Canadians, we believe, may rest content in the conviction that their representatives in Washington will safeguard every Canadian interest, at the same time doing all in their power to bring about a new and better understanding with the great Republic, + THE MISSISQUOI RECOUNT.The reduction in Dr.Cotton\u2019s majority ty the recount of the ballats is not to be in any wise construed as an indication thas popular sentiment was less favorable to dhe successful candidate than it appearcd \u2014 \u2018nection with an Irish Parliament.been remiss, and to have neglected to initial a considerable number of ballots.The objections to counting these ballots may or may not be properly taken, but Dr.Cotton may console himself with the reflection that there was not a sufficient display of incapacity to lose him his elez- tion or place the seat in danger.At the same time he has the satisfaction of knowing that he has carried the banner of the Liberal party in a bard fought contest in an old Conservative constituency, and that according to the votes actually poMed he has won by a substantial majority.It is unfortunate that technical errors should occur, but fallible humanity thas never been 1 roof against then, and it is well that in the present case the mischief was not more serious.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 SECOND CHAMBERS.The usefulness of a second chamber\u2014 apart from any purpose it may have, es in Canada, to protect the smaller members of a confederation\u2014is in its furnishing by delay of legislation an opportunity for the sober second thought of the country to nake its influence felt.Ft is not necessary to argue that hasty legislation is bad.It is seldom good.And it is not less bad, though it be passed with the sanction, or by the force of public sentiment.It is no derogation of ithe right of the people ta govern to say that their government is all the more likely to be along right lines if they adopt such safeguards as may be possible against their own hasty judgment, and against those sudden cbullitions of sentiment to which all peoples are subject.Checks and delays are therefore, an essential and necessary part of all legislative systems.The President of the United States has a velo power.A veto power, vested in the mayor, i8 a part of nearly every municipal reform scheme, Alike in large and small legislative spheres a delay power is considered to be a salutary feature.Not an absolute veto power which may continue to defy public opinion expressed through elected representatives, The United States President has not that.The measure to which he objects can be passed over his objection.His veto amounts only to a delay-power.The Pritish House of Lords has a veto power Which in its practical working is now nothing more than a power of delay\u2014a clumsy one it is true.It is herein the fatal defect of the Canadian Senate lies.Whereas in other representative systems supreme power is, in the last stage, in the hands of the people\u2019s clected representatives, it is not so in Canada.The veto of the Senate is final and irreversible.It can not only call a halt and review \u2014it has it in its power to terminate the plans and disband the forces organized by the men elected by the people to govern.Against its action there is A ik no recourse.This is a fatal defect.It is | one which must lead to the abolition of the chamber unless it will consent to adjust itself to what can be clearly shown to be the genius and practical necessities of representative institutions, The Senate\u2019s proper functions are to delay legislation, whether because it con siders a measure either merely impolitic or corrupt in its purpose, and by delay to give an opportunity fer the operation.of public opinion.Beyond public opinion there is no higher political court.To try to give to a second chamber, whose members are appointed for life, the character of an over-ruling political providence is both impracticable and ridiculous, The true purpose of à second chamber is to delay and review such legislation as it may consider objectionable and to focus public opinion.upon such measures as may be the better for a searchlight.Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2019s proposition proposes to give the Sénate this delay power and nothing more.There are no difficulties in the way arising from our constitution, Sir Mackenzie Bowell\u2019s fears to the contrary, notwithstanding, A Government would still be required to possess the confidence of a majority of the elected chamber and would not be required to resign office except upon an adverse vots there.Sir Wilfrid's proposal was emibodied in the Australian federation plan, and a similar scheme was also.advanced by Mr.Gladstone in con- The principle, moreover, is working in several European countries.To those who desire the abolition of the Senate the plan should commend itself as a practicable reform, while to believers in a Senate the plan will be aceptable as a reform rendered absolutely necessary by the present anomalous and unendurable state \\of affairs and by a condition of public sentiment which threatens the very existence of the Upper House, \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE PREMIER AND THE SENATE 1t is generally admitted that Sir Wilfrid Laurier dealt gently by the Senate in his speech of \u2018l'uesday night, and that the reform he proposed is framed in the hope rather of removing practical difficulties in the way of legislation than with the purpose of lessening whatever of genuine usefulness there may be in the second chamber itself.It is not to be forgotten thas when the Senate was made a part of our legislative machinery, its principal purpose was to guard in an especial manner the interests of the several provinces which were then entering upon the experiment of Cunfoderation.By a section of the community in every province it was much doubted whether there was sufficient identity of interests to hold confederation together on terms that would be endurable to all the members of it.Neither, at that time, had all parties in the United Can- adas thoroughly agreed as to the fairness bitter struggles was to be embodied in the constitution of the new House of Commons, that there should be preserved in another legislative body a nearer approach to the principle of provincial equality.In ihe first place, Onitanio, Quebec, and the grouped Maritime Provinces were accorded equal representation in the Senate.Subsequent additions have been made to its membership which have been dictated by consideration for the rights of the new western provinces, lt is undoubtedly true that to-day there is a new spirit pervading the Dominion from one end to the other, and that there is every year a fuller contidence in the future of the Dominion, and every year less and less tendency to distinguish the interests of one province from the interests of all.But, as the Manitoba school case proved, it is by no means certain that differences between provinces are at an end.At the same time we hear very little nowadays about the Senate as a guardian of the rights of provinces and minorities; we hear much of what is by one side called blocking hasty legislation, by the other side, partisan interference in legislation.\"The Senate has been its own most severe critic in this regard by ibs flagrant and consistent subservience to the needs of one political party during the whole thirty-one years of confederation.With the Conservatives in power, it has been meek and docile, do- Ing nothing more serious than now and again, at the instigation of Conservative leaders in the House of Commons, killing or emasculating legislation which they had put through the Lower House to serve their own party ends.No really momentous legislation, nothing as to which the Liberal opposition felt bound to make the country ring with protests, was ever checked or retarded in any way by the chamber of sober second thought.When the Liberals were in power, in the seveu- ties and now again at the present time, the same consistent partisanship has been observable.When Mr.Mackenzie was in office the Senators killed measure after me: sure for no other reason than that it suited the policy of the House of Commons opposition.Since Sir Wilfrid Laurier has come to oflice they have done the same.In two years they have been more active than in the preceding eighteen.Whether they were right or wrong is not to the purpose.The outstanding fact is that whatever the theoretical divisions in the Senate, in point of fact there has been only one line of division that is worthy of notice, namely, a division on party lines.Insomuch as we have in Canada agreed to make the best we can of the attempt to manage the affairs of the country by means of political parties and through the executive agencies therefrom evolved, and as the only hope of securing good government rests in the ability of the people to replace one party by another, there is something manifestly wrong about a system which works as we now see our legislative machinery for the Dominion working.One party in office does as it wills; out of office it can still rule, at least partially, by preventing the other party from ruling.This is what happened in the Nanaimo railway case in Mr.Mackenzie\u2019s regime; it is what has happened in the Yukon Railway case in Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2019s regime.Now the Yukon Railway project might have been good or bad for the country, just as the preferential tariff to Britain might have turned out badly instead of as well as has been the case.But the Liberal party asked nc more in either case than to meet the judgment of the country at the polls.Regarding the former, the Senate has «denied them the pnivi- lege of meeting the people with any chance of justifying their conduct by results.The Senate killed the Yukon bill outright, and however devoted the Liberals might be to the work to whioh they had set their hand, there is no appeal from the act of the Senate, and the Senate is responsible to no one for its act.It is to mitigate this anomalous condition that Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2019s amendment is proposed.What the outcome of such an amendment to the constitution would be ig fairly clear.Tt will tend to lessen the audacity of an opposing majority in the Senate, and so prevent their wantonly challenging measures forwarded by their political opponents for the mere wake of helping their political friends.Such utility as they may have in keeping with the purpose of their house will be conserved, and only the abuse of their power in ways never expected will be attacked.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 NOTES AND COMMENTS, The amendment will leave the Senate nothing but its power to delay legislation, The senators will be made into halters.lf Sir Mackenzie Bowell does not approve of the Senate reform scheme.That is sufficient proof that it is a good scheme.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 After the Liberals have had one more parliamentary term besides the present one the majority in the Senate one way or the other will not be very large.foams The New York Sun says it cannot find out where North Hastings is, or what dif ference it makes where it is.Perhaps that is what has excited Sir Mackenzie Bowell\u2019s anger?rere If the candidates\u2019 mames upon a ballot paper be changed from their rightful alphabetical order, it is just as likely to mislead the supporters of one candidate as the other.fern Dr.Cetton\u2019s majority of 13 cannot be called unlucky.The luck was in the fact that the damage done by neglectful depn- ties stopped there instead of losing him the constituency.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 If Sir Mackenzie does not like the joint vote how would he like an over-riding vote, a vote by specified majority, a vote after a session or an election?Or does he think the Canadian Senate ought to be the only second chamber in the world to be absolutely irresponsible?\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 It is said that Sir Wilfrid Laurier got his plan of Senate reform from the Hon.David Mills.Also it is said he got it from the Hon.Mr.Tarte.It is more likely that he got it from the written his- tery of second chambers and the experiences of other countries with regard to them.Joint sessions and voting is the outlet from deadlocks, which is in effect in a number of countries.M.A.A A.Open Air Rink
