bring about a restoration of the system of doing the work by private contract which gave rise to so nich complaint be- twcen 1888 and 1893.There is every reason to believe that a strong, and possibly a successful, fizht will be waged at the meeting of Council on Friday next to secure the contract for Mr.Arcade Depatie, whose friends have already managed to scoure a favorable vote from the Finance lommittee.By the Finance Committee the proposal to award the contract has been sent on to Council, and the whole scheme is now in excellent shape to be curried through Council at any time a bare majority can be secured in its favor.That there would be grave danger fo the commamity in allowing the service to puss out of the directm anagement and control of the city there can be no doubt.No» one who knows what were the conditions during the five years prior to the taking over of the work by the municipal authorities has any desire to witness a return to a similar state of things, for the streets and lanes at that time were a cry- fnz disgrace to the first city of Canada.Nowhere was the work done in the way the citizens had the right to expect.The lanes were left to fill up all winter long, end in the spring the scavengers simply plied rakes and shovels, leveliing the refuse and raising the surface of the lanes untik they \u2018were almost as high as, and in some cases higher than, the sills of the doors near by.Helo * & ] © 7 A >\u2014mkds LO) el T0 0H NV and that we do most emphatically being detrimental to the interests At a meeting held on January Council passed the

road-cieaning department liad meantime removed it.lhe assertion is made that under the contract system the Koads Department removed at east one-fourth of the gavbage.Notwithstanding that there was believed to be a reguiar corruption tund wherewith to ofiset in the minds of aldermen the influence exerted by ind.gnant electors, the iailure of the contra.tur to keep the city clean, publie opinion uitimateiy became so aroused that in spite of them- seives the aldermen were obliged to make au end of the contract work and to take over the service by a city department.It is true that department has not been managed so \u2018econom.cally as it might be, a.thougih there are plenty of signs that the white light of criticism has had a purifying effect, and that this year will show a better service at a lower cost than has formerly Leen had.But even allowing for the parcial faiiure of the department because of the mal gn influence oi venal and patronage hunting aldermen, the city has been much better served, as is indicated by the following comparisons in the list of complaints received, those iu the first column being for five years under the contract system, those in the sccond

the manner in which it \u2018s done now.1 would advise Montreal to take a leaf from the book of Westmount in this matter.A Real Estate Man's Views.Mr.M.Nolan Delisle, manager of the estate Delisle, said: \u201cI have not tne sught- est hesitation in saying that the city -hould do the scavenging itse.f, and not sive it out to contractors.1t was a great stake ever to have let it out of the hands of the Health Department.Tne work can be done more economically and more satisfactori.y\u2014especially more econ- omically\u2014by the city.No matter how good your contractor 1s, how binding you may make your contract, or however gocd the guarantees, you cannot be free from trouble.Some question arises, Or a dispute as to what the contractor should do, and it may take the courts to settie it, Meanwhile the garbage a\u201ccumulates, and the city can do nothing.Cilzeus inay make complaints to the Heaith Department, which then have to be sent on to the contractors, and if they are not attended to there is no speedy way of having the contractors do so.If the work was in the hands of the city, and complaint was made in regard to inattention in any particular district, all that would have to be done would be to put new men in place of those who are careless, and no risk would be run of having the whole service dislccated, and the mischief continued, by trouble with the contractor.It wou'd be just as sensible to give out the work of the Fire Department by contract, and have houses burned down while the contractor was discussing with the city whether or not his contract covered this particular work.During the epidemic of 1885 I was on the Board of Heaith, and I know how the contract system works.It was of the utmost importance that the scavenging should be properly done, and we had to give an extra contract to the contractor at a large sum for what the city wou'd have done in the ordinary course by day\u2019s work if it had been doing the scavenging itself.but they had us by the throat, and in the interests of the city\u2019s health we had to give in to them.\u201d AFTER SEPARATE SCHOOLS The Catholics of Winnipeg Make a Proposition to the Beard Which Practically Means That.Winnipeg, Man, Feb.7\u2014(Special.J\u2014A private meeting of the School Board was {held last night, at which certain propositions wcre made to the board by cer tain of the Catholic authorities.Since the present Manitoba School Act was passed the Catholics ot the city have maintained Catholic schools as private institutions.8.D.Bertrand has been working dligently with a view to bringing about some arrangement by which the Catholic schools vould be brought under the control of the School Board.The fcllowing, it iz understood, are the principal terms asked by the Cathlics: That Catholic children in the city be congregated in special buildings.That none but Catholic teachers be engaged to teach in such schools set apart for children of Catholic persuasion.That all teachers at present engaged in Catholic schools be permitted to retain their positions until such time as they have a reasonable opportunitv of qualifying as required by the Publi¢ Schools Act of 1890 ard amendments thereto.The Laurier-Greenway agreement provides for religious teaching after 3.30 of each school day.By granting the concessions asked for a system of separate schools would practically he established.Reporters were excluded from the meeting.Tt is believed, however, that no steps were taken by the Board for the present, but the strictest secrecy is maintained as to what transpired in the meeting.i CONNAUGHT'S CHOICE Lies Between Remaining an Englishman and Becoming a Small German Sovereign\u2014His Great Ambition.(Globe Cables.) London, Feb.7\u2014The death of young Duke Alfred, eldest son of the Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Cobourg, and Queen Vie- toria\u2019s grandson, whicl occurred yesterday at Meran, carries with it consequences wh ch may not be immediately appreciated in America.Through his death the Duke of Connaught becomes heir to the reigning dukedom of Saxe-Cobourg.Not only tv heredity is this so, but also by a special succession act arranged during the Tife- time of the late Duke Ernest, of Saxe- Cobourg.lt is well known that the Duke of Connaught\u2019s ambition is to become Commander-in-Chief of the British That cost the city, I think.$40,000 or so, | army.Now he will have to choose between this and reigning as a German sovereign.If he ciects to remain un lng- lishman he will renounce the Saxe-Cobourg succession in favor of his eldest son, Prince Arthur.1t is possible, however, that the Duchess cË Cunnaught, who is a daughter of Prince Frederick Charles, the ted Prince, may Hud the ambition of becorying a reigning sovereign in her own country irresistible.The present Duke Alfred of Saxe-Uobourg is Enown to be in very bad heaith.Thercforc the ne- fessier for a choice may not be long de- ayed.AN EDITOR COMES HIGH.Mr.Dansereau Said to Get $6,000 and a Paid-up Insurance Policy tor $20,000, .The following despatch was sent to The Toronto World by its Montreal corres pondent:\u2014\"\u201c1he French Canadians of Montreal must be à reading peopie, when one of their papers is av.e to pay an editor vhe salary of the Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals, La Presse newspaper has just centered into a contract with C.A.Dansereau, by which the ex-poastmaster becomes editor of La Presse at a saary of $0,000 a year, with a paid up life insurance policy of $20,000 thrown into the bargain.,_ lis deal may mean a great deal to the Conservative party.It is understood, in the first place, that Mr.Danse reaus position in the postoflice has not n pleasant since the Liberals came to power, and La Presse having made him such a good offer, he has decided to enter the Journalistic ranks, where he shone so brightly in the past.La Presse is fairiy® Conservative, and it would, no doubt under Mr.Dansereau\u2019s direction become more pronounced if a competitor did not appear in tie field.This, however, is what might happen, as Hon.Senator Forget and others have subscribed some where near $100,000 to start a new French evening daily, and, should this proposed venture take definite shape, La Presse, with such an able man at its head as Mr.ansereau, might do a great deal of harm to the Conservative cause.The cost of a $20,000 life policy for a man 50 years of age as Mr.Dansereau 19, would be $11,811.ST.LAMBERT COUNCIL.Several Items of Business Disposed of

and considerable interesting business was put through quietly, the council adjourning shortly after ten o'clock.The building by-law was put through and the by-laws regarding the extension of Lansdowne avenua and West- mount avenue were laid over until the next meeting, the Mayor reporting with regard to the former that the property- owners on the street were considering the matter.The building areas by-law evoked considerable discussion.As proposed, it states that no building shall be erected in the town to cover more than 60 per cent.| of the ground arca, theidea being to prevent irregularity in the building line on any street.Councillor Lawton held that the by-law would not prevent what was intended, and it was finally referred 10 the Road Committee with a reconmenda- tion to them to secure à report from n- gineer Booth as to the probability of its ; working out.On account of the increase in the nuin- ber of voters at many of the sub-divisions in Westmount, it was found necessary to repeal by-law 76 re voting sub-divisions.The propesed Selby street extension was taken up and the Council decided to homol- gate the extension irom Greene avenue to the Gien road.; The Roads, Parks, Water and Drainage Committee recommended that.Mr.G.À.Robertson be appointed superintendent of works, the work to be the same as at present, and the one title to embrace the present ones of roadmaster, inspector of plumb- at the waterworks.! Back Last Night It Transacted a Great Deal of Business\u2014Buildiny Areas \u2014Mr.G.A.Robinson's Appointment: ing and building inspector.The Counal ratified this.lt was also recommended and decided that the Montreal Street Railway be charged with one fourth of the expense of repairs to Greene avenue, it being thought that such improvements were necessitated to some extent by the raising of the tracks on that street.The Montreal Strect Railway bill now b.fore the Legisaiure eaime in tor ils shure of discussion.No very serious objection was tuken, although a seeming ambiguity in the wording of the petition will be looked into, no desire being felt to extend to the company any further rights than they have at present.With regard to the School Commission's proposed bill for the right to levy taxation, it was thought that it would be well to limit the rate.Jt was resolved to ask the commission to call a public meeting of the property owners to discuss the matter.Re the Boulevard extension by-law, the Counei! decided that 13¢ per foot be taken as a basis for land required for the carrying on of the work.\\.C.Hutchinson wus appointed arbitrator in this matter.The Council talked over the probability of additional pumping power being put in The \u2018future source of supply was not known, and Couneillor Evans was asked to enquire whether the Waterworks Company intended to go to River or draw their water as at present.It was thought that a long continuance of the present source Was not desirable, owing to possible contamination of the water bv sewage, and the opinion was that the intake pipes shoald be placed in deep water outside Nun\u2019s Island.VICIOUS AND OPPRESSIVE.Terms Applied by Mr.Stephens to the Bill to Extend Street Railway Through the Village of Verdun, Quebec, Feb.7.\u2014(Special.)\u2014It was daf- ficult to get a quorum for the Montreal City Bill this morning, the members being busy in attendance at other committees.However, some uncontested clauses, including those relative to the holding of elec: tions, were adopted before the committee | adjourned until to-morrow morning when hearing will be given to interested parties from Montreal.The private bills committee this morning adopted the bill transferring the registry headquarters of Labelle county from Buckingham to Papineauville.wonsiderable opposition to the Verdun bill was made in the private bills committee, Mr.Stephens being the principal objector.The clause imposing a tax for the carrying on of cach different branch or kind of business even when carried on by the same person, firm, or company, was withdrawn by the promoter of the bill, Mr.Gouin, after some discussion.Clauses authorizizg une Ccuuuen w prevent any, person residing beyond the limits of the municipality, from carrying; on hi» trde or business within the municipality without being authorized thereto, mad taking out a license and number for each and every vehicle used iu the municipality for the purpose of such trade or business; provided that there be no unjust discrimination against such person and to prevent all persons resid ing outside of the municipality from either personally or through his employes, solicit ing or taking orders for the delivery of oods, or offering such good for sale without waving previously obtained from the cor poration the license requived for that kind | of business.were adopted after discussion.The big fight, however, was on the clause to ratify the agreement between the municipality and the Montreal Street Railway concerning the extension of the railway through Verdun.By this agreement the municipality gives the company a thirty years exclusive franchise, with exemption irom taxation.lt aiso provides that the right of way for all Lines shall be provided by the virage of Verdun by which aiso ail necessary grading shail be done to the full width of the streets as homologatei, and the village shall aiso provide all neces gary bridges, drains and cuiverts in order to ensure the protection of the company's tracks against Hoods, or washouts.Mr.Stephens characterized the agrec- ment as vicious and oppressive and moved its rejection.The Hon.Dr.Guerin thought that, as it had been approved by an overwhelming wajority of the ratepayers of Verdun, to whom railway communication with the city had become an imperative necessity, the Legislature might accept it, but with the addition of a proviso that ~ \u201clie event of Verdun becoming annexed\u2019 ° Montreal, the company should be bound only by its contract with that city.Dr.Guerin also 1oved to protect vested rights.R.Gouin pleaded for the bill, of which he was the promoter, and he was assisted, outside the committee, by Mr.N.}, Rielle, advecate for the village of Verdun, with Mr.Rodolphe Lemieux, M.P., as counsel, and Mr.F.E.Meredith, advocate, \u2018who represented the Montreal Street Railway Company.No decision was reached and the cou- sideration of the bill was adjourned -o Thursday.Tha Hon.Mr, Robidoux presided at the meeting of the legislation committee this morning to consider the Pharmacy Bill.I'he grocers were represented by Mr.J.1.Cardinal, and the druggists by Mr.Toussaint Brosseau, Messrs.Ray and Garneau spoke in favor of the bill.The grocers merely asked to be allowed to sell pro- prieetary medicines that were not scheduled as poisonous.\u2018The conuuittee will sit again.BREAK ON ST.LAMBERT ICE-ROAD.There was a cuartling break in the St - Lambert river moad Tat evenimz, beiwesn six and seven p.m.Tue road was cut through by water, leaving an open space about one hundred feet wide and extending seven nun- dred feat below the road.A Herald reporter happened to be walking across shortly bofore six 0\u2019 clock with an cl] resident, Farmer! Charron.They were considerably startied by the unusual uproar, which caused them to halt, and listen, as it sounded like a batiery of artillery near at hand.In \u2018thirty years\u2019 experience of crossing they had never heard the like before.The ncise waz no doubt caused by the breaking of the ice further underneath, and forced by the swift current up ithe river towards the bridge, which passed | at this poini, was pounding up against the ice, making it tremble.They crossed safely, and the first intimation of the serious break that had taken place was brought back to the city by a fapmer crossing on his way to the market, ais horse having gone so far as to put his forelegs in the water.The St.Lambert end was ai once blocked and a watchman placed do stop all crossing, and in the meantime word was tclephoned to the city, with the result that that end wgs likes wise blocked.The break is over one hundred feet wide hy live hundred feet below the road, extending from the bridge down to Bonsecours market, which will necessitate a detour, as the ice below is firm.BIRTHS.(For wither notices see Page 3.)

the partial performance at least of what was a public as well as a private duty.d\u2019Orford, County of Sherbrooke, into a separate municipality wus the subject of some discussion.Mr, Panneton, the promoter of the bill, spoke in support of the measure as giving effect to a canonical decree.The Hon.Mr.Dpfly pointed out that the Sherbrooke County Council had opposed the bill, and that the inhabitants of the township in general were unfavorable.The erection of the parish for religious purposes was desirable cnough.Mr.Geo.VW.Stephens thought the bill objectionable, as it tended to create a parish in the centre of a townsh p, with the rest of the townships, under a differ- eut administration, surrounding it on every side.He held that such an arrangement would be most inconvenient.| 2 to such gifts as had been made in good Of course, the House had nothing to do with the canonical erection of the parish.! Dr.De Grosbois moved to change the : roposed limits so as to exc'ude certain ots from the proposed mew parish.This was lost on division.Ultimately the bill was mittee, and reported tor third reading.The House next went into committee ou the Di] to admit Mr.Henri Bourassa to the Bar.The Hon.Mr.Pelletier moved that the bill be amended so as to oblige Mr.Bourassa to complete his term of apprenticeship.Ile alto took exception to a clause in the preambie stating that the biil had the approval of the council of the adopted in com- À Snow Balling.About one young woman AK.in ten nowadays

Explains What He Meant in the Interview Given to the London Outlook, \\ Ottawa, Feb.7\u2014(Special.)\u2014Mr.Mills, in a brief interview cabled to the London Qutlook, expressed the hope that in view | of the proof Canada has given of her devotion to British connection, the Mother Country will not make the mistalse of com- | promising our rights in the expectation of better securing the friendship of other people.It has been assumed in some quarters that the Minister of Justige, in this statement, hes reference to the negotiations now proceeding at Washington and to the suggestion that Lord Herscheil's chief mission is to cement the friendship of Great Britain and the United States.Mr.Mills was asked if there was any ground for the assumption that he feared a sacrifice of Canadian interests at Wash- ingten that good-will between Great Britain and the United States might be established.i \u201ci had not Tord Herschell in my mind at all,\u201d he replied, \u201cin expressing the hope to which you refer.Great Britain has dealt very generously with Canada so far as the High Commission is concerned.l'our out of five of the Brtish representatives ave Canadians, and if any undue concessions are made, it will be wholly our own fault.What f had in my mind was tbe recommendation of some London journals to Great Britain that for the sake of in- fernational good feeling she should agree to the denunciation of the Clayton-Bulwer treatv, and in this way put Canada in a position of inferiority to the United States in respect to the use of any Central American canal that may be coustructed.\u201cAt the time the Clavton-Buiwer treaty was negotiated, Great Briain owned con- p\u2014 siderable islands upon the coast of Honduras, which she gave up./lhere was no corresponding concess.om made by the United States, because the United States had nothing to concede.Great Britain, by surrendering these islands to Honduras, ag put herseif on a footing of equality with the United States in that quarter of the globe.\u201cThe treaty recognizes their equality as to the protection and use of any canal which may be constructed, and in my op.nion it is of immense consequence to the future of this country that the rights thus secured by the treaty to the Empire should be maintained._ Those who regard Canada as an insignificant country capable of maintaining a large population, and without any great future before it, may be ready to make a sacrifice of that kind.There may be statesmen in England who think that the Suez canal woud answer the purposes of the United Kingdom for trade with India and the East, andthey may not be disposed to give due consideration to the interest of Canada as a very important portion of the Empire.Canada is a portion ot the Empire whose commercial interests must become very important at no distant day, and hereafter they must be a factor in international negot'ations in which the British Empire is concerned._ \u201cThe Spectator and some other British journa's are too apt to ignore every portion of the Kunpire but the United Kingdom in treaty transactions, but against that kind of \u2018little England\u2019 view I desire to make protest, for if the Empire is disintegrated it will be by narrow consideration of that kind which disregard the rights and the interest of those who must hercafter be reckoned with in all-import- ant questions of imperial policy.\u201d THE GROCERS ARE MAKING A FIGHT.Quebec, Feb.7.\u2014(Special.)\u2014A deputa- | tion of Montreal grocers reached here this | morning to use their efforts to secure

LA LUE: Re-Elected Mayor.At the regular meeting of the Council of the parish of Lachine, held yesterday, Mr.John Parker was unanimously reelected mayor for the fifth time.BRIBERS SUSPENDED FROM CITY'S EMPLOY.Ald.Roy Writes a Letter to the Mayor, and the Council Decides There is No Necessity for an Investigation.Ald.Roy yesterday informed the Mayor and Ci.y Council that the persons who were implicated in the alleged attempt to bribe him were Louis Leduc, veterinary surgeon of the Health Department, and J.A.Bousquet, road inspector in the Roads Department.These are the names given to the public by The Herald on Friday last.The Mayor and Council were informed of the mames in a earefully written letter from Ald.Roy addressed io the Mayor.As a result of the exposure, both men will be suspended from the civic service.The Mayor first spoke of leaving it in the hands of the Health and Roads Committees, but as it seemed to be the opinion of Council that investigation was unnecessary, and that both men should be suspended at once, he said he would | act accordingly.Ald.Roy\u2019s letter did not contain the name of the alderman who sent Bousquet | to Ald.Roy with the money, and as no investigation will be hed, that gart of the story, which charged a prominent Roads Committee alderman with engineering the deal, will not be verified.Ald.Roy\u2019s letter, which was read as soon as Council opened, was as follows: \u201cMontreal, February 4, 1899.\u201cTo His Worship the Mayor, Mr.Raymond Prefontaine: Sir,\u2014On Monday, January 30th, at the mect.ng of the Council, I stated {rom my seat that certain persons, with the view of pressing me in the discharge of my offices and duties as alderman, had forwarded to me the sum of $G00, in twelve $50 notes; and that if I could legally give the names of those people, I should do so, after consulting with my attorney, at the next meeting of the Council.After con- suiting with my attorney, I believe it in the interest of the honest administration of our affairs, for the henor of the aldermen, as well as the protection of the employes, to indicate the names of those who are guilty of the action I disclosed in the Council on the 30th of January last.\u201cThe following are the facts: On Fri day, January 27th, about five o\u2019clock p.m, J.Auguste Bousquet, an employe of the Roads Department, took to my prigate residence, Mount Royal avenue, a sealed letter, which was not addressed.Upon the bearer\u2019s request, I opened tnat letter and found in it twelve promissory notes, each fcr $50, signed by Louis Ledue, veterinary surgeon of the Health Department.Those notes were payable at the Hochelaga Bank, one per month for twelve months.That same Louis Ledue whose signature appeared on those notes had previously asked me three or four times to propose him as milk inspector, in the place of Dr.Raymond.On the next morning, T sent for Louis Leduc and asked him if he had signed those notes, and why he had acted in that manner towards me.Ile acknowledged that he had signed those notes, and that, in doing so, he believed it was the best means of obtaining the position I then told him that he made a great mistake, and I returned his notes.\u201cHere, Mr.Mayor, ate the facts as they took place, and I leave it to your wisdom to decide what should be done under the circumstances.\u201cKindly believe me, with eration.yours devotediy, «Ep, &e-Roy.\u201d Ald.Stevenson asked if His Worship ha¢ done anything in the matter.The Mayor replied that he had not acted in the matter because he only received the letter that had just been read about ten minutes before he arrived at the Council meeting.Under the circumstances, it would be better that the Council should decide the matter, as be did not think, without some direction from the Council, it would now be proper for him to act.If the Health Committee were to take action in the matter as regards investigating the facts alleged, he was ready to leave it in the hands of that committee.Ile could not omit to say that there was a duty which he ought to perform in connection with the subject, which he must and should - perform without hesitation.Ald.Prenoveau said that he saw no necessity for investigation.The members of the Council were all ready to accept the statements made by Ald.Roy, and action should be taken at once without reference to committees.Ald.Jacques also spoke to the same ef- great consid- fect.Ald.Ames thought there was no necessity for any investigation, for they had not the slightest doubt that the facts as adduced in the letter of Ald.Roy were the exact facts of the case.That gentleman had drawn the attention of the Council to them in order that the corporation might take steps to punish the offenders in this instance, and to prevent a repetition of such acts in the future, or when thev occurred.to adequately punish t'eir authors.He understood the Mayor intended to susvend those gentlemen at orce.and to refer the matter to the va- rinus committees, so that thev could deal with them as they thought fit.Unless there were very strong extenuating circumstances that did not now appear.he

couple of evenings ago, as Ls laid dewn his paper, after having read one of the testimonials.\u201cHow is that?\u2019 queried his friend.\u201cWell, no matter what paper you take up, you find in it the narrative of a cure of Kidney Disease, by Dodd\u2019s Kidney Pills.And, mind you, every time Mt is à new case that\u2019s talked about.They don\u2019t harp on the one case all the time, so, if they are all true.Dodd\u2019s Kidney Pills must be curing people by thousands.\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t you think the testimonials are true?\u201d questioned his friend._ ; \u201cOh, yes, I know they are.Now here\u2019s a case that I\u2019ve investigated :\u2014 \u201cMr, C.S.Griggs, a carpenter.who lives at 151 Queen street south, Hami'ton, says he was told, eight years ago, that he had Bright\u2019s Disease.He couldn\u2019t get any relief, let alome a cure, till he tried Dodd\u2019s Kidney Pills.He used three boxes of that remedy, and was completely cured by them.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t know how many Hamilton people have been cured of Kidney Diseases by Dodd\u2019s Kidney Pi'ls, but the number must be enormous, for hardly a week passes that I don\u2019t see a testimonial from one of our citizens in the papers.\u201d \u201cDodd\u2019s Kidnev Pills are a great medi- dne\u2014the only Kidney Cure under the sun.\u2019 thought the offenders should be at once : discharged, and that they should never! again be allowed to enter the service of | the Council.(\u2018Hear, hear\u2019) He had no! objection to the matter going to a committee, but he thouzht there was not any necessity for it.As the opinions of Ald.Ames appeared to be the opinions of Council, the Mayor said that he would act accordingly.Claims Committee\u2019a Report.The report of the Claims\u2019 Committee, which was published in yesterday\u2019s Herald, was read.Without discussion, the Council ordered that it be printed, and it will be discussed at another meeting.More Plans Wanted., À report was read from a special meeting of the Health Committee, asking for a grant of $230 to be spent in premiums for competitive plans and designs for a new civie hospital.The Mayor thought this report ought to be taken cognizance of, owing to the urgency of the case.He understood it was the intention of the members of the Council to adjourn that meeting until Friday out of respect to the death of the mother of one of their aldermen.If, therefore, the Council woud now approve of the special report, it coud be sent to the Finance Committee, and come up again before the Council on Friday next.The report was then agreed to.The Water Committee\u2019s report that Mr.Janin be appointed acting-superintendent for a further period of twenty-eight days ' was altered so that Mr.Janin\u2019s period of service shall continue until Mr.Laforest is able to resume his duties.The report of the Market Committee recommending the extension of Bonsecours market, accompanied by a scheme for expropriation, was referred to the Finance Committee.The report of the Finance Committee recommending a grant of $25,000 for providing new uniforms for the police was unanimously agreed to.The Finance Committee recommended, on the application of the Water Committee, a grant of $6900 for the purchase of a new boiler of 200 horsepower, at the high-level pumping station.After some discussion the report was agreed to.To a number of questions by Ald.Stevenson, the Mayor and Ald.Ames replied that the Charter Committee had made no changes in the draft of the new charter since it passed the Counail.The members of the committee laid aside their personal views at Quebec, and sought to have the exnressed wishes of Council put into legislation.A vote of codolence was then passed with Ald.Archamban't on

Director, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7.DEPARTMENT STORIES.The members of the Charter Committee of the City Council, for vne reason or another, allowed some very iunproper proposals for excessive taxation of department stores to creep into the bill they have drafted for the acceptance of the Legis: lature, It would be idle to deny that these objectionable clauses wera inserted in response to an expression of public opinion admittedly based upon the interests of those most active in demanding (his obstructive legislation.It were equu'ly 1dle to deny that, from the point of view of their own immediate interests, tn: small storekeepers and wholesuers, who zomn- bine to demand that restrictions be placed upon these great retail stores, have a cause that at first blush appeals strongly to the sympathy of nearly all superficial So much is this latter the case that those who composed the Charter Committee, though they were all men who might be supposed to be able to have an enlightened understanding of the cireum- stances which make such distributing agencies as the department store every day observers.more and more necessary, yet allowed themselves to be put on record as in favor of a tax which, if it were permitted to become operative, would become a most serious burden on every such establishment in the city.This course having been pursued by the Charter Committee anil assented to by the City Council, the heals of the be biamed if they have become apprehensive great retail establishments cannot of a similar reception for the proposals at the hands of the Quebec Legislature, or if they have on that account delayed the investment of further large amounts of capital until the danger has beuvn satisfactorily removed.It will perhaps be easier to arrive at a right understanding ot the problem, that has thus been presented to the legislators fer sttlement, through tirst bestowing a reasonable consideration upon the claims of those who demand the obstructive leg's- lation.They are for the most part proprietors of stores the size of whose stocks is regulated in part by the small capital at command, and in part by the purchasing power of the community in the vicinity.To these are added men and women who began the active business of life with the firm conviction that the acquirement of a trade meant the provision, with reasonable certainty, of independence always thereafter.Tailors, tinsmiths, blacksmiths, printers, shoemakers and others with like occupations are included in this class, and there can be nothing gained by denying that the progress of invention and organization have wrought muep misery in their ranks.It is not long | since no one would think of ordering a suit of clothes except from a merchant tailor, who either made the suit himself or gave it out to others cqually skilled.But now almost any morning one may see wagon loads of clothes that serve the purpose of a large portion of the peuple equally well, coming in from farm houses anywhere within twenty-five miles of Montreal, where they are made by women glad of the chance of adding a little to the meagre earnings of the household.The blacksmith no longer makes His own horse shoes; he can buy them cheaper ready-made.Probably not a twentieth of one per cent.of the shoes now made in Canada, the United States or England are made in all parts by the same hand.\u2018The American shoe factories can turn out enough product in six or eight months to do the population of that country for a year, and every three or four years | there is à stock accumulated in advance | où demand, with results which need not be discussed here.One printer operating a linotype machine now sets as much type as four or five could in the old way.And so through all the list.The result 18 à great cheapening of the product in all cases, but that does not soothe the vexation of those who are displaced by the innovations or enable them immediately to recover from the loss occasioned by enforced idleness due to a lessened demand for the services they have been accustomed to reuder in the general work of production.\"they do not now make onslaughts upon the machines by which they have been displaced, as a hundred years ago or less in England they did, although we happen to know of the case of a Cana- cian inventor who barely escaped being mobbed in the strects of a southern city à few years ago for having displaced the later of over two hundred girls by an esccedingly simple mechanical contrivance, were it nob for which the price of every car of peas now sold on this continent weuld be two or three cents higher.While this has been the rule in regard to all the processes of production, and it has been the mle ag to every product, from the growing of wheat to the making of woollen or silken fabrics, it woud be surprising indeed if similar cheapening agencics were not at work in the processes | of distribution.Men live upon the bounty drawn from the great storehouse of nature in recurring periods of four seasons each.There is nothing wherewith to be saved as a permanent addition to the werld\u2019s capital.The richest state in the American Union has been found to be, by careful computation, within one year of starvation, two years of nakedness, and three years of homelessness, supposing all preduction te suddenly cease.All that has been produced has therefore to be expeditiously distributed and consumed, and in order to the greater physical, moral and intellectual wellbeing of the human race, every available means of cheapening the process of distribution and cf preventing waste in the consumption of the products so distributed is eagerly made use of.The principal material agencies in this work of cheapening distribution have been the railway and the gigantic steamship.Fifty years ago a bushel of grain could not have peen moved a hundred miles without exhausting its value.Now a bushel of grain can be moved from Duluth to Buffalo for one cent.or less.A ton of coal can be moved from Buffalo to Duluth for less than a man would take to pitch it from the sidewalk into a cellar.It was Vanderbilt, who is best known for the millions he accumulated, who made it possible for a common laborer in New York to pay for the haulage of enough flour to last him a year from the centre of the continent to Liz home on the sea coast for the price of haf a day\u2019s work and to obtain the flour itself for three or four days\u2019 work.But it was not to be supposed the proce-s of cheapening wou'd stop at the railways.For a long time it swag \u2018found to be the most advantageous system for the manufacturer to sell to the wholesaler, the wholesaler to the small retailer, the small retailer to the people in the immediate vicinity, But gradually the retailers, gaining financial strength and business intelligence, began to deal with the iranufacturers direct.The telegraph, the submarine cable, the giant steamships and the railways have placed the rctail stores at the gates of the manufactories of the world, and cottons ordered from Montreal to-morrow morning could, if need were, leave Liverpool before to-morrow night, and be on the counters in Montfeal in less than ten days\u2019 time.There is no longer the same neces- gity there was twenty or even five years ago for the holding of large stocks in great warehouses in the principal cities In England they have eliminated the middleman by means of co-operative societies, the joint capital or the joint credit of the members enabling them to buy direct from the manufacturers, and their very numbers enabling them to distribute the products so obtained at the minimum of cost.On this continent the same work has been undertaken by private or by corporate capital, acting upon the established business principle that the greatest aggregate profit can be made by selling in the largest quantities and on the smallest margin.No charter committee, no city council, no legislature would be likely to place legislative obstructions in the way of a co-operative society.But, because of the jealousy that for one reason or another has been excited against the possessors or users of considerable amounts of capital, there is always a formidable support for plans to obstruct the equally beneficent operation of their counterparts on this continent.Without attempting to enumerate all ihe influences which operate in the direction of a possible cheapening of distribution through the agency of the department store, an almost sufficient explanation of the phenomenon may be found in the excellent systems of tramways now to be found in all large cities, which obliterate considerations of time and distance by making it possiblé for a resident of any part of the city to reach any other part within a few minutes and at a cost which forms an inconsiderable fraction of the weekly expenditure of an average household.Dies not the very existence of such a system necessarily force upon the attent'on of any merchant with common business instincts the desirability of being able to offer such a passenger the choice of the largest quantities and the greatest variety of products that can profitably be gathered under one roof?influence, in some measure accidental, is added the neverrelaxed pressure upon the providers, the men ard women at the head of their households in cities and out of the cities, to sustain life, to preserve appearances, and to share to some slight extent in the comforts and the influences of civilization, and all on a daily sum per head of the population that is ridiculously small, the case against obstructing the operation or interfering with the development of this important agency in cheap- ; ening distribution becomes so strong as to make one marvel that any proposers of legislation or any legislative body shou'd seriously entertain such a proposition.It is fair to state that the advocates of such legislation dispute the claim of the larger Stores on this question of relative cheapness.The average woman, however, knows when she is getting value for her money, just as Mr.John Morley knows a \u201cjingo\u201d when he sees one, although she might be quite as cautious about giving compete .1easons for the faith that is in her as Mr.Morley is about answering the request to give a definition of a \u201c\u201cjingo\u201d within the compass of bwelve words of a telegram.The consideration of how much money the average woman of the house has to spend and how far her preferences in the manner of spending it should be interfered with by legislation may be reserved for another article.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014___, HOME RULE FOR MONTREAL.The St.Antoine street widening bill\u2014 sister to the Notre Dame street widening bill-has also made its reappearance at Quebec.In both these measures certain property- owners, whos: property would be benefii- ed.ask the Legislature to impose upon the City of Montreal a heavy expenditure for improvements which the City Couneil has expressly and emphatically declined to make./ Here is proposed a new principle of government.It is one as dangerous as new.If it be adopted and acted upoa by the Legislature, it will transfer the administration of the city from the City Hall to Quebec.It will put upon the guardians of the taxpayers\u2019 interests, whose hands are already full enough, the necessity of fighting a second battle a: fed or clothed or sheltered except what Quebec, every time they defeat a lobby at comes from the earth, the sea and the air, and in the average year not more than about one per cent.of the uroduct is | the City Hall.It is, it appears to us, a fundamentm principle that the Legislature should not When to this 1.! interfere, to impose new burdens, in a purely civie question where the city has de- : clined to expend money upon an improve: | ment which it believes is beyond its pre- | sent means.Upon this sound and essential principle the bills of St.Antoine and Nctre Dame street property-owners should both receive a short shrift.mr CITY HALL BRIBERS.Two officials offered Ald.Roy a bribe and both are to be instantly dismissed.Two officials \u201capproached\u201d the Mayor\u2014 he himself told Council so\u2014and they were ¢nly suspended.Is it not as serious an offence to offer a bribe to the Mayor as to offer one to an alderman?Council should call upon the Mayor to name his delinquents and dismiss them.NOTES AND COMMENTS, A Conservat've famine fund will be one of the first means to be adopted by the \u201cnucleus.\u201d [RLY The City Council meeting yesterday proved that you haven\u2019t all the news until vou have The Herald.\u2014\u2014t ra Conservatives, t.ke notice! This is the fifth day of the first month of the first ycar of \u201cthe new movement.\u201d ard The history of the Conservative party in Montreal is dated from Friday, 3rd February, 1899.On that day was inaugurated \u201cthe new movement.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 There was no word about \u201cthe new movement\u201d in the Gazette this morning.We are afraid the Gazette did mot como under \u2018the magnetit power.\u201d eee The Conservative party having assigned to the Star, some Old Movement Conserv.tives have been converted to support the bill which is before the Legislature requiring curators of estates to give security.manera The Star has historical precedent for dating the history of the Conservative party from its assumption of conmand.One of the Caesars, we believe, dated the history of the world from the beginning of his reign, en, ofr It was not zeal for the public service that inspired all the aldermen who cried \u201cHear, hear\u201d to Ald.Ames\u2019 suggestion that there be no investigation into the bri- business, but that instant dismissal be visited upon the bribers, retreive Yesterday's City Council meeting would have contained two most interesting surprises if The Herald had not already, days ago, published the report af the claims committee and the names of the officials who offered Ald.Roy the bribe.mamta When the Marchand Government cuts down the expenditures, increases the re venues and reduces the debt, the Gazettu explains that it is at its predecessors\u2019 expense.- Of course it is.Its predecessors must necessarily suffer by such a comparison.\u2014 The Gazette persists in publishing rumors, or pretended rumors, that Mr.Marchand may retire from the Premiership, The only people who want him fo retire are those who find that he stands on guard against the exploiters of the treasury.erm An old Conservative thinks Sir Charles Tupper must have written that article in the Star referring to the \u201cmaster hand,\u201d \u201cthe thrill,\u201d \u201cthe amazement of the oldest politicians,\u201d \u2018the magnetic power,\u201d \u201cthe War Horse of Cumberland,\u201d and so forth, But this is an injustice to the Star.Such articles come easy to it.pr In a published interview about the Montreal organization Sir Charles Tupper savs Mr.Dalby, the new organizer, has severed : his connection with the Montreal Star.This is a mistake.Sir Charles goes farther with the bluff than Mr.Graham himself.The latter merely says Mr.Dalby has tendered his resignation.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 comments upon the complaints which Mr.John Patterson, just returned from the Yukon, made on behalf of Mr.Aulay Morrison, M.P.It will now, of course, hasten to tell its readers about Myr.Mor- : rison\u2019s disclaimer that the gentleman spoke his mind or spoke by his authority.remet From a nows article which was published on Saturday ir The Herald, the reader might obtain the impression that the members of the Protestant School Board of Montreal were going to Quebec to protest against certain provisions embodied in the government's Education Bill.Ax | a'matter of fact, the opposition is to cer- : tain propositions regarding a new distribution of taxes which have been made by certain members of the Legislature and newspapers.Ths Education Bill pro- : poses no change touching the proportion of taxes now received by the respective school boards.\u2014# \u201cAld.Clearthue said this morning to a Star reporter that he was very much pleased with the way the Star on Saturday gave to the public the inner facia concerning the return of 44 tons of coal dust, or slack, to Cohen & Sons.\u201d\u2019\u2014I'he Star The Herald is also very much pleased.The Star neglects city affairs so greatly that we, like the aldermen who are un- carthing civic scandals, welcome the publicity which it gave to this particular case.All the \u201cinner facts\u201d were given to the public by The Herald, to the extent of a couple of columns, on the day befors the Star published them; but this does not diminish our pleasure.+ Will Be Deported.Chicago, Feb.7.\u2014A special from Omaha, Neb., says :\u2014There is trouble in sight for au the Chinese in the United States resulting from the total disappearanze of the Chinese who were admitted to the country in ordar to take part in the Trans-Mississippi Exposition.Inspector Jarres Stoue, of the Government service, is in Omaha investigating the situation.He says the Government has determined as the only means of locating the Omaha fugitives, to round up the Ohinese in every city in the country, and those that canot produce their certificates of residence will be deported.semer { da The Gazette the other day based some - NOTARIES HOLD THEIR ANNUAL BANQUET \u2014\u2014 merically strong as well as prosperous an\u201d liourishing body was demonstrated las evening by the brilliant success of the thir.annual banquet of the profession, which took place at the Place Viger Hotel.The company was large, the banquet was unim- peachabie, the oratory was of a high order, and the general arrangements were excellent Nothing in fact was wanting to ren- largest part of the credit ror uals happy coumbinawon of favorabie circuan- stances was .unquesilonabiy due to the cnergetic comuuttee où organizution, WwWhä.uh cous.sted of mMessrs.JL.Beuanger, pres dent;

The Magistracy and Bar.tracy and the Bar, referred to the privileges which the profession enjoyed and remarked that they rejoiced to think that they had the good will of those who ruled over the courts.The court had been happily in the possession of men who had been famous for their wise administration of justice, and they were glad to think that the people here were as law abiding a3 ary in the Dominion.Sir M.M.Tan in acknow.edging the toast remarked that as a judge he had been given many opportunities of appreciating the value of the notarial profession.The good feeling of the judges towards the notaries was reciprocated by the notaries, as was evidenced by the cordiality with which the had been received.He was sure they ful ly recognized how much the civil and religious liberty which they enjoyed was based upon the upright administration of Justice, certainly they had no reason to e ashamed of the by the judges of the province and of the Dominion in securing the rights of the per- ple.Ir honoring the judges to-night they were honoring the legal profession.When he was a lawyer he realized how often they made mistakes, but he could assure them that the mistakes would have been much more numerous but for the excellent work done by the notaries.That work he felt sures would bear comparison witii that done by the attorneys of the Old Country.Mr.Justice Mathieu, who followed observed that the life of a judge was rather monotonous; and the dispensers of justice was beset with many troubles and ! not the least of them was in being called unon to condemn his fellow-citizens, A very effective response on behalf of the Bar ceme from Mr.C.Carter.The distinguished judge who preceded him had given them to understand that he was not satisfied with the positon he ' now had, and that he looked to something higher.He was himself afraid that he had no chance of getting anv higher than Le stood td-day; for that reason he meant to hold on to everything he had.(Laughter.) The professions he said, were being overcrowded to-day.In Montreal alone there were about 500 law- art that had been played! That the motaries of Quebec are a nu-! yers and over 200 notaries.der the funcuon a ne:mnorable event.\u2018Lhe! { At the Place Viger Hotel Last Evening\u2014There Were Many Good Speeches\u2014Mr.Hart on the Profession.à The conse- juence was that they met with.great disappointment.The Universities.The toast of the Universities was proposed by Mr.H, P.Pepin, and acknowledged by Mr.W.de M.Marzer.Lhe latter, on behalf of McGill, returned sincere thanks for the manner in which the toast had been honored.The Notarial Profession.Mr.P.C.Lacro.x proposed the toast of the notarial prolession.Mr.Lewis A.Hart in responding delivered the most effective and most practica: speech of the even.ng.He said : \u201clt has always been & matter of regret to me to see the frequency with wuich acts are passed by the Provincial Legislature for the purpose of rendering valid certain notarial deeds.Now, sir, 1 am not gomg to admit that curr profcesionat work is of so inferior a quality as to require such medicine.Holding this opinion, 1 consider that these acts cast a reflection upon us and upon the character of our professional wok; for they inply that there is something wrong with our work, and that it is to save ourselves from the cons:quences of our errors, and to avert the losses to which our m stakes have exposed our clients, that we are ob.iged, year after pear, to ask for the passing of special eg sation on bebu f of ourse ves and our chents.These acts of validation are anything but comp.mentary to us, and 1 tiust that the board will soon be able to see Its way clear to discountenance and oppose them.The time for the board to da this Las, perhaps, not vet arrived; for 1 am afraid that there exists a real tecessity for some more acts of walida- tion.This statement I wil exp am : , \u2018In our deeds it is customary for us all, so far as I know, to take the qua\u201cty oi notaries public for the province, and to aituch to names, as part of our official §gnatures, the letters \u2018N.P.\u2019 siguifring Notary Public\u2019 Now, there is not, under the law governing the no\u2018ar'a\u2019 pro- fcssion, any such publie officer as a notary public, nor is there any such profession as that of a no.ary puble.The notarial code makes use, simply, of the expressions \u2018notary\u2019 and \u2018notaries,\u2019 the \u2018profession of a notary,\u201d and to\u2018 practice as a notary.\u2019 Gong as far back as the time of the Consolidated Statutes of Lower Canada\u2014a pericd of neary forty years\u2014 which is probably sufficient'v remote to cover the commissions of the oldest amongst us\u2014the same expressions regarding the office were made use of, and the expression of \u2018notary public,\u201d was there only to be found in the schedule to the act giving a form oi the certificate ot adm.ssion to pract.ce as a notary.This form makes use of the expression \u2018Notary Public in Lower Canada.\u2019 \u201d Mr.Hart, after elaborating this point, - said : \u201cIn this connection, sir, a very se- ricus and important question arises, Are thc deeds that we have being receiving during so many years in our assumed quality of notaries publie, authentic and valid as authentic documents?That, sir, Is a question that I do not propose 5 discuss this evening.I will merely ek out that it is a very serious and important question, and one that cannot be neslect- ed.Many years ago, before Confe-lera- tion, but after the union between the Pro- virces of Upper and Lower Canada\u2014it happened that some of the notaries then In practice described themselves in the deeds passed before them as being \u2018natar- ies for the Province of Quebee,\u2019\u2014at that time there was no Province of Qurihee \u2014 or \u2018notaries for the Province of Canada; which they were not.ar \u2018notaries for the town and distriet of Montreal,\u201d or made In their deeds other wrong descriptions of their true quality, which was that of notaries for that part of the Province of Canada.which formerly constituted the Province of Tower Canada: and the deeds that contrinel those errors of style were adjvdzed by the raurts of that time tn be by reason of such informal\u2018ties, unanthen.tic.invalid and of no effect.Arts of validation had to be passed in order to ron- der those deeds authentic and to sive them effect; and I think that our own deeds wil\u2019 require a similar cure.ence my statement of a few moments ago, that however much we mov dislike these acts of validation\u2014and they are really most cibiectionaihle\u2014the time for the board tn oppose then altozether has perhaps not vel coms, et us y\" i pos come, hope, however, that it Mr.Hart went on to ray that notaries had \u201creason to comp\u2019ain that.in this Pro- vil ce the notarial office has not met with a sufficient recnomition of ita importance and nf \u2018he place it \u20182 to orennv în fur judicia! system.We know that our aws.in civil matters.are

Iale\u2019s brigades advanced and took the waterworks at Singalon.Four companies of Nabraska regiments and a part of the Utah battery, with two ficld guns and two Hotchkiss guns, met the enemy om the hill a haf mile out, and a sharp engagement took place, in which the Nebraskans lost one dead and three wounded, Dr.Young, formerly quartermaster-ser- geant in the Third Artil.ery, was wounded, captured and \u2018brutally murdered, and his body, when recovered, was found to have been horidbly mutilated.\u2018The Filipinos were diuven back, retiring in bad order, and carrying with them valves and heads of the steam chest and cy inder of the pumping machinery.General Overshine\u2019s biigade advanced ani took Paranque, capturing two teld guns.They met with no opposition.General MoArthur\u2019s division advanced beyond Gagalangin without loss, the enemy retreating upon Caloocan.The Americans now have the steamer line to Malabon, and 600 marines, with four Maxims, have been landed at Fleet Be:ch, north of the city.The Third Artillery, on the main road, and the Utah Battery, in a cemetery, covered the advance of the Kanm-as troons.Among the important points captured was a strong embrasure earthwork within sieht of Caloocan.There was considerab'e firing from the upper windows of the house in the native quérter of the city last might, but no casualties have been reported

to the Herald says :\u2014 Rear-Admirai Dewey has notified the Nevy Dupartment that he has seized another schooner, loaded with arms and aiumunition intended for Aguinaldo and his foliowers.Information in the possession of the authorities 1s to the effect that the German corsul at Hong Kong was concerned in the sale of the arms to the Filipinos, and this fact may account for their action in keeping the matter secret, There is rea on to believe, however, that the matter has b en brought, unoflicially at least, to the attention of the German authorities, and that a representative of the Berlin Government has declared his convietion that it was wholly unaware of the conduct of its representative.The anthorities feel satisfied that the German consul will not be permitted to continue his unfriendly course.friendliness of the German consul for the United States.The State Department recent'y received information that this officer had been instrumental in the purchase by agents of Aguinaldo from a Ger- mat firm in\u201d Hong Kong of something like 30.000 stand which were safely delivered to the Philip- pires.It seems, therefore, that throuzh German agencies the Filipinos are quite well armed.It is expected that Great Britain will take stops to prevent the shinment of arms and amumnition to the Philippines from Hong Kong.Aguinaldo\u2019s Claims.Manila, Feb.7.\u20143.40 p.m.\u2014Aguinaldo, the rebel leader, issued two proc'ama- ticns on Saturday and Sunday.The first declares the Americans opened the fight, and calls upon the Filipino Congress to suspend the constitution.The second says : \u201cWe have fought our ancient oppressors without arms, and we nenv trust to God to defend us against the foreign invaders.\u201d The Nebraskans have recovered the lost parts of the pumping machinery of the water works, which assures a speedy resumption of the water supply of the city.Despatch from Gen.Otis.Washington,

c.uns:l contaued, that as the cutceme of a wager of $2,500 with General Owen Williams, Mr.Astor braught the trunk of a Catifornian redwoal tree here end gave a dinner party at Cliveden around it.A fictitious list of guests, counsel further remarked, was Tubl:eHed, and, imde:d, the whole details, except the mere fact that Mr.Astor brought the tree to England, was en effort of imagination, and Mr.Asor claimed he was thereby held up to the public as \u2018\u2018 a foolish and riij>ulous person.\u201d Mr.Astor then took the etand and confirmed Sir Edward Clarke's statements.He added that many

recently she was asked whether this isclation would not at last end in her being unable to find houses in which to play.Her reply was, and it is typical of the woman as she appexrs on the staze, that if she were driven fiom all the theatres in the United States she woud ati.l ccntinue acting, merely going to some other country for the purpose.It is this strenuous undismayed spirit that has carried the delicate- \"ooking little firancial failures in the theatrical profession to her present unique position.Her \u201cTess\u201d is of precisely the same order, so far as her part in the performance is concerned, as every other play she has essayed.Not the s'ightest fraction of a step, not the s'izhtest movement of a hand, not a shade of vocal or facial ox- pression is left to aocident or to the dis- prsition of the moment.Her sareams, for they are screams, coming after the stwain- ed and subdued monotone of the preceding fow minutes.are a reve'ation in the portrayal of intense emotion.ler silences are as vocal as the spoken score.Her Cevotion to the art has carried her through failure to high success, and, s'ow as is the process by which appreciation for such talent is developed in this city, there 15 every appearance that th's time Mrs.Fiske is to receive a triumph even in Montreal.The advance sales last week are said to have been the larzest of the season.the house was erowded

introduced in his office a car ticker much on the same principle as the Stock Exchange ticker, by which the pussing of cars at Sherbrooke and St.Lawrence streets will be registered at his office.The ticker will show the numiber of cars parsing a given point every five minutes.The registration is made by the marker being placed in contact with the trolley wire, and the pasdng cf a car makes a dot on the tape.The register gives out eight inches of paper to the hour.1Itis Mr.MeDonald\u2019s intention to place these registers or tickers on all the lines in the very near future.At present there is but one.which is placed in the superintendent\u2019s office and is connected with the tro\\ey wire at the cern.r of Sherbrooke and St.Lawrence Main streets.The accuracy of these registers cannot be questioned.Yesterday morning the following were the readings at the street intersection mentioned from s\u2019x o'clock to twelve :\u2014From six to seven 31 cars passed; from seven to cizht o'clock, 32; from eight to nine o\u2019clock, 28; from nine to ten o\u2019clock, 18; from ten to eleven o\u2019clock, 13: from eeven to twelve o\u2019c.ock, 19.This morning the ticker gave the following readings between six and ten o\u2019clock : From six to seven o'clock, 29; from seven to eight o'clock, 27; Irom eight to nine o\u2019c.ock, 23; from nine to ten o'clock, 20.It will thus be seen that an accurate and positive record of the running of cars can be made to the entire satisfaction of the public and to the satisfaction of the cfi>ce.The ticker was made on Mr.McDonald\u2019s suggestion.By this method of controlling the running of cars the emp'oyes can easily be checked and made to run on time.In speaking of the new machine this .morning, Mr, MeDona!d said that he regretted very much that the ticker had nct been connected with the St.Denis street route this morning.A gentleman came to his office, he said, and complained that four cars only had passed down St.Denis street in thirty minutes.\u201cWa .heve there a two and a-ha!f minute ser- F vice on thait line.and I would like to look into his comp'aint.If we had the tirker there would be no difficulty,\u201d he said.LITTLE GIRL BURNED TO DEATH.About eleven o'clock yesterday morning Sarah, the littl: davghier of Mr.Francis Sanschagrin, of 150 Dufresne street, was the victim of a cruel

accounts the Shamrocks are a trifle fine, had just a shade too much work.If so ihe prophets who say that if Montreal can keep on the agressive during the first half they will surely win, are not far out.The Shamrocks play the same old victorious team.Montreal has Mackerrow back to lead the forwards, and their team will be Collins (Capt.) in goals; Elliott, point; Charlton, cover; Mackerrow, Howard, Horsfall and Locke, with Christinas and Tough spare.Not a bad lot if they will play together and stick to the puck from start to finish.But Shamrock supporters say their favorites are just in

game of the season played here.In fact, it was the best game since the 1897 scason, I when Ottawa had its strong team.\u201cThe Victorias won by 7 to 5, and the score just about represents the play.\u201cThe game was fast and clean nearly all the time.Faster and better hockey than that put up in the first half Las seldom been seen on Ottawa ice.\u20193\u2014Ottawa Journal.\u201cIn a brilliant and grandly contested game the Victoria hockey team, of Montreal, champions of Canada, defeated the Ottawa seven at Dey\u2019s rink Saturday night by a score of seven goals to five.The match was the best seen here this season, and superior to any played in Ottawa in the senior series for several years.\u201cThe Vics played a brilliant game, but their style was more showy than effective.The men performed many fancy plays and handled their sticks as if they didn\u2019t care whether they won or not.The defence scemed careless, and even big genial Mike Grant put up a listless game at times.The forwards skated well and on several occasions performed pieces cof combination play that were fairly daz- zing.\u201d\u2014Ottawa Free Press.MONTREAL JUNIORS, The Montreal Juniors
