you stay there.\u201d Packer pointed out that Marks was breaking the law, but the latter\u2019s one reply was \u201cPay us what is due us, and we will vacate, whether or not the law is brcken we do not know or care.\u201d There was nothing left to do but consult a lawyer, and arrange for warrants, sn Captain Pacher went to Prefontaine, Archer and Perron.The latter took the case in hand, and on his advice, Packer swore out warrants in Valleyfield on Friday morning.\u2018They read: \u2018\u2018\u2019lhat George Marks, sr, George Marks, jr, and Jennie Mitchell, wife of George Marks, sr., did hold possession of the schooner Helvetia contrary to law, and thereby preventing Captain Willlam Packer from executing his duties on the said schooner, and \u2018\u2019lhat by so doing they are acting against the peace of Her Majesty\u2019s Crown and dignity.\u201d The ValleytieM police claimed that it would be unsafe for them to serve the warrants, so Captain Packer came back to Montreal, This was at one o'clock on Saturday, and in a few moments the warrants were in the hands of Detective Kellert.Taking four of his best men, he started for Val- levtield and was soon at the ship's side.It was evident that he was expected.Fight Commences in Earnest.\u2018Who claims to be the captain on this vessel?\u201d sung out five-foot-six Kellert, to which a six-foot-one giant roared: *1 do.\u201d Captain Marks is a magnificent specimen of manhood.He is built as shapely as an Apollo, and with the strength of a Samson.His son, George Marks, .jr, 1s a hero of San Juan and bears a record for bravery.\u2018l'hese were the two men at the head of a crew of twenty determined fellows, who said in chorus: \u201cPay us our money or we don\u2019t leave the ship alive.Said Kellert: \u201cIl have some business with you.I am Deaective Kellert, of Montreal, and 1 have warrants here for the arrest of yourself, your son and your wife.| expect you to give yourselves up quietly.\u201d *l am awfully glad to meet you,\u201d replied the big skipper, \u2018but we are not going to ge ourselves up, and do not intend to let you come aboard this ship to take us.I am the captain and the boss of this shop, and am standing by my just rights.The first man who steps on this deck to interfere with me as the lawful captain of this ship will not go over the side alive.\u201d \"This looked decidedly serious, and Kel- lert carefully avoided saying anything that wculd lead to trouble.He explained to the captain that he had the papers for the arrest, and that if the parties considered themselves aggrieved, they could get Justice in the courts.\u201cI'he courts be hanged,\u201d yelled the captain; \u201cme and my men won't get off this ship, and that settles it.Get up here it you dare, and we'll kill you.\u201d \u201cThe law must be satisfied whether we take you déad or alive,\u201d said Kellert.Then, with an oath, the giant shouted at the top of his voice : \u201cCome on and take them, and we will see what your own people and the United States will cy about it.Of course, you think you cin do what you like because my own Government and my own consul have zone back on me and treated me about as meanly as they could.Mr.Gorman, the vica-consul of the United States, had been called upon by Marks, and had advised him that he aad nu right to be on the ship, and that Captain Packer could demand possession.Kellert saw that extreme, measures were Lecessary, but another trouble now confronted the officers.: During the winter\u2019s stay Marks and his men had made many sympathizers ana friends in the Factory Town, and scores had given their word that they would pro- lect the crew against what all termed an injustice.On arriving in town Kellert called at the police station to get the chief, but he was not there.This resul*- ed in the news spreading like lightning al) over town, and by the time lkellert get through the parley just veferred to a crowd of 500 to 8U0 men had gathered.It had been decided to zet ladders aud bcard the ship.One ladder was borrowed from a woman, and two others from the fire station.But as Kellert's yen were carrying them to the ship they were forcibly taken from them by Marks\u2019 sympathizers.At this point the chief of the tecal police appeared on the scene, and advised Kellert to desist from trying to serve the warrants.He was sure that such an attempt without the assistance of troops cculd only result in bloodshed.All the people of the town sympathized \u201cwith Marks, and many men would back him up, as they considered he was being badly treated.Another feature of the fight now made itself apparent.Friends of Marks, at the other end of the ship, were preparing to board it so as to reinforce the crew in case the detectives once got over the bulwarks.Kellert saw them, and he shouted to Captain Packer, \u201cThat's your ship, captain; don't let those men get on her.\u201d Captain Packer caught one man by the arm, but hardly had he done so than a crowd surrounded him, and in a moment Packer's coat was torp to ribbons.It would have fared badly with him had Kellert not jumped into the melee and threatened wholesale arrests.Packer\u2019s sailors and Kellert\u2019s men now decided to make a desperate effort to beard the ship, but the crowd hustled and jostled them around until it was evident to Kellert that only bloodshed would fcllow if he persisted.\u201cT had no desire that anyone should he killed.\u201d he said this morning.\u201cI knew that having the warrants in mv possession, gave me the right to taïe the neople by force, but I thought it far hetter to return and see the lawyers before going anv further in the matter.Anywav.what\u2019s That speech about it's being \u201cbeter to he a live lobster than a dead hero\u201d ?While Kellert and Packer were dieruss- ing what was best to do, a man drove un in a bugav, and in a most eveited manner shouted to Confain Marks, \u201cDan\u2019t give in.eantain: vouw're on the right side, and all Vallevfield is with vou.\u201d A wild shout cf ammroval fram hundreds -conformity with the law.of throats helned_ materiallv to hrine ahont a mick decision, and the officers returned to the city.Who is Responsible, \u2018 When Captain Marks and his men said \u2018Pay us our money,\u201d it seemed to those untamiliar with the facts that the new owners, H.J.Johnson & Co, of Clure- land, were indebted to the crew.but it now appears that in November last, acting under a law passed by the American Congress, the men and Mrs.Marks were all paid off, leaving only the captain to be settled with.His account was 700, and 1t was disputed by the Atlantic Seaboard Company, whose manager promised to return to Valleyfield later on in the winter and settle up.He never came back.By and bye Captain Marks engaged local men to act as his crew, and alter this his son arrived and lived on the vessel, the tather having broken up their home when he became captain of the llel- vetia._ Johnson & Co.have all winter long paid for provisions for Captain Marks, but they declined absolutely to pay salary, claim- Ing that they had no contract with him.They say they are not responsible, and therelore will not pay.When the firm found that Marks would not give up the ship, they, like Marks, got the advice of Vice-Consul Gorman, and he pointed out that nothing could be done until the case was laid belore the State Department at \\Vashington.This was done, and Mr.Gorman was advised to instruct the two parties to proceed in The statutes of the United States provide that when a vessel reaches foreign waters the captain shall place his papers with the consul, and no one shall be paid off or engaged\u2019 without the consent of the consul, the latier being responsible for the payment to | the men discharged if he does not see that the captain or owners settle with them.Hence Mr.Gorman has a record of the payment of wages to the crew of the : Helvetia, but the captain remains unpaid, and it would scem that much litigation must follow.Are the Warrants Illegal.Article 525 of the Criminal Code of Canada olearly defines the charge of whicn it is claimed Capt.Marks is guilty.It 1s as follows: \u201c325.Every one is guilty of an indictable offence and liable, on indictment or on summary conviction before two justices of the peace, to a fine not exceedinz one hundred dollars, or to three months\u2019 imprisonment with or without hard labor, who, by force or threats or violence, or by any form of intimidation whatsoever, hinders or prevents or attempts to hinder or prevent any seaman, sievedore, shin carpenter, ship laborer, or other person employed to work at or on board any ship or vessel, or to do any work connected \u2018with the loading or unloading thereof,from working at or exercising any lawful trade, business, calling or occupation in or for which he is so emploved; or with intent tc so hinder or prevent, besets or watches such ship, vessel or employe.\u201d But Capt.Marks is not a subject of Her Majesty and herein there is a probability that the warrants now in Detective Kellert's hands are illegal.Article 542, C.C., reads: \u201c542.Proceedings for the.trial and punishment of a person who is not a subject of Her Majesty, and who is charged with any offence committed within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England.shall not be instituted in any court in Canada except with the leave of the Governor: General and on h.s certificate that it in expedient that such proceedings should Le instituted.\u201d Capt.Marks\u2019 lawyers at Valleyfield will doubtlens take cognizance of this tact and continue to fight against the arrests.Muat Have the Vessel, The Helvetia is worth about $20,000.Her Services just now are invaluable to the Johnson firm, and she is to be taken from Velleytield no matter what the cos.Mr.F.S.Maston, of the law firm ot Geulder, Holding & Maston, who represents Messrs.Johnson, arrived in town this morning, and is spending ihis aifter- ncon in consultation with Mr.Charles Archer.Mr.Maston has come here to take back or send vack the shin, and he 1s gc.nz to stay until his mission 8 a22om- pLshed.How long he will be a citizen of Montreal remains to be seen.When 1 showed the two gentlemen the Criminal Code article referring to the issue of the warrant solely by the Govern>-tG-nerul they declined to express any op:n:on for the time being.Mr.Archer has not vet had time to go into the matter thoroughly, so that for a few hours at least Caj.tlain Marks may rest in peace.Washington Notifiel.Vice-Consul Gorman sent a lensthy tele- :gram to Washinzton yesterday, in whch he re ted the facts of Saturday = troutle and asked for instructions, So iar the reply has not been received.Ready at Vallexfield.Valleyfield, May 22.\u2014(Special.) \u2014There 18 no doubt as to the great svmpaihy felt here for Captain Marks, and until they se» it in another lizht the neople will re:xer him every assistance in his effort to stay on the vessel until he iecenves his morey.Fearing that the Montreal detec tives would arrive in the night time, and take him by surprise, a number of the captain's friends formed themselves in\u2018n a grard and watched by the ship until day hight.The captain declines to discuss the situ ation with newspaper men.He merely says : \u201cMy lawyer is handlinz iny case, and all I have to say is that [ will stay on the ship until I get my monay.\u201d de - LONGUEUIL PROTESTANTS, They Consider the Question of Having à Resident Pastor for St.Mark's Church.Longueml, May 20.\u2014The adjourned vestry meeting of St.Mark\u2019s Church, Longueuil, was held in the parish school house on Saturday evening, May 20th, and was 4 most satisfactory meeting both in regard to the number present and the amount of business transacted.After receiving the wardens\u2019 report and statement, which were found highly satisfactory, the business of election of wardens and sidesmen \u2018for the ensuing year Was proceeded with, and resulted as follows: Nector\u2019s warden, Mr.E.'I'.Brunn;

ipreme power, dimmed as suddenly and unexpectedly by the tragedy of an irretrievable fall, comes to a melancholy close | in the death of Eugenie Marie de Montijo, Countess-Duchess of \u2018I'eba, in her own tight, and by her marriage with Napoleon UI, former Empress of the French.Rorn on May 5, 1825, she was descended on her father's side from a Spanish family of high nobility, the head of which, in 1452, received the title of Count de Teba at the hands of Ferdinand and Isabella.A remote ancestor was the immortal Alonzo de Guzman, who defended Tarifa in 1292.Her father, Ci- prano l\u2019alafax, Count de Teba, subsequent- iv created Marquis de Montijo, was at one time an ollicer in the Napoleonic army under Murat, and later served with distinction in the Peninsular wars, whence he emerged with the loss of an eye and a badly wounded leg and hand.This gentlernan married a Scotch woman, the daughter of William Kirkpatrick, a merchant in Malaga, Spain, who for a period had acted as British and also as American (Consul in that city.It 1s said that the preliminary consent of the King of Spain had to be obtained to the union of 2 Spanish grandee with a commoner.\u2018The services of Scotch genealog- tsts Were accordingly eniisted in the search for à pedigres.They proved to the King's satisfaction that Mr.Kirkpatrick was on the maternal side a member of the cadet branch of the Stuarts, and consequently a distant kinsman of Queen Victoria herself, and that his ancestors on the paternal side had borne the tiie of Baron.Thereupon the King exclaimed : \u201cYes, let the son of Guzman wed the aaughter of Fingal.\u201d After their marriage, the Count and Countess de Teba removed to Granade, and later to Madrid.Two daughters were born to them.The eldest of these.Fran- cescafi subsequently married the Duke of Alba and Berwick.the inheritor 2f the ducal honors of Linares.The vounger was Eugenie.On.March 15, 1839, the Count de Teba died, leaving his widow and children in comfortable circumstances.The Dowager Countess, who seems to have inherited all the Scotch love for wandering, look her small family first to one capital of Europe and then to another.In some ways the life was beneficial to the future Empress, as it gave her opportunities of acquiring a knowledge of the world, which she turned to good account when called upon to fill an exceptionally difficult and trying osition.Tt also gave her a mas tery of French, English and Italian, be: sides Spanish.Curiously enough, she was never able to learn German.Returning to Madrid, the Countess de Montijo was appointed first lady of honor to the Queen of Spain, and became one of the most prominent figures in the society of the gayest capital in Europe.After the marriage of the elder aaugh- residence with Eugenie in Paris.the young lady became celebrated for her | beauty, her amiability and her rare meu- | tal gifts.She was likewise a daring i horsewoman at a time when very few i French ladies even learned to ride.The son of the then American Minister to | Paris, William C.Rives, fell madly in love with her.His family would not | agree to the match, except on condition | that the issue of the union should be | brought un Protestants.This condition { the bride-elect refused.Young Mr.Rives \u2018 returned a bachelor to his ancestral home lin Virginia, but eventually married and ! became the father of Amelia Rives.Ergenie made the acquaintance ot Prince Louis Napoleon.as he was then called, when he was living at the Elysee in his character of President of the French Republic.They sometimes met at Fontainebleau, where the Montijo family al- waps spent a few weeks during the hunting season.From the first he was attracted to the brilliant younz Spanish girl.But when he became Emperor, in 1\u20ac52, his mind was set on an alliance with some European royalty.At that time, however, his throne was considered so un- stabla that first one and then another princess refused his advances.Finally, he determined to follow the dictates of his heart.Early in January, 1853, he startled his Ministers by announcing that he had determined on an alliance with Mlle.de Montiio.The news was published in the official Moniteur next morning.It excited much opposition.not onlv in the Cabinet, but among the French public.An alien FEm- press, not of royal blood, was distastefui to them.But the Emperor stood firm.In a formal communication made at the Palace of the Tuileries, in the presence ot the highest French diznitaries and the representative members of his own fam- ilv.ke described his future bride as \u201cFrench at heart, by eduration, and by the memory of the blood shed by her father in defence of the First Empire.\u201d The royal marriage was thereunon fixed tn taxe place on January 29 and 30, the civil celebration being performed on the first day and the ecclesiastical ceremony in Notre Dame on the second.The first act of the new Fmpress was full of grace and tact.The municipal council of Paris had voted her a wedding present of a diadem of the value cf 600.000 francs.but the refused the gift, with the recommendation that the snm be devoted to the founding of a charitable institulicn.This bit of self-sacrifice went far to ingratiate her with her subjects The first good impression was deemened by her many unostentatious charities to the rcor of Paris.In Farnborough she lived in complete retirement, receiving only those old friends who had retained a peculiar right to her affection and ratitude.Her household consisted of ou!y

Government Assisting to Float Her.20e CREW BROUGHT TO THE CITY Prunm The Gallia is still fast in the mud at Stone Island.She is now practicaliy deserted, Mesers.H.and A.Allan having removed the crew.It is understood that they are to all intents and purposes done with her, and il remains to be seen whether the owners, Messrs.McIver & Co., will go to the expense of dredging her off the mud.Once the cargo and passengers were removed the Allans became legally irce of all responsibility.\u2018Ihe Hon.Mr.Tarte, Minister of Public Works, visited the Gallia yesterday.It was not an ofhcial visit, but as Mr.Tarte was going to Sorel on private business, advantage was taken of the opportunity to examine the stranded steamer.Mr.Tarte lett the city on the Government tug Pratt at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, returning at hive in the evening.A thorough examination was made of the boat and her surroundings.As he was not there offi cially, Mr.Tarte had no statement to make as to the possibility of the Govern- nent co-eperating with the owners in floating her.Personally, however, he thought it was a great pity that such a magnificent boat should be subjected to what appears to have been gross carelessness on the part of somebody.That such an accident should have happened in broad day hight, Mr.Tarte considers remarkable, and he thinks that an immediate and searching enquiry should be made so as Lo discover who is to blame.The harbormaster and the harbor en- gimeer, Mr.Keunedy, could not say anything in regard to the matter this morns ing.Mr.Mchay, chairinan of the harbor commissioners, said that it was now open for complainants to ask for an enquiry if they feel so inclined.It seems the master of the ship, v'aptain Stewart, has asked tor an investigation.However, this cannot be held uniil after the meeting oi the board to-morrow.The Nincennes-MoNaughton tugs, Sin- cennes and Ethel, reached the Galha eariy this morning, and, as already stated, re moved the crew, bringing them to this ST.JEAN BAPTISTE DAY.The Preliminary Arrangements Made at a Meeting Held Yesterday Afters noon.Dr.Larocque, president of the St.Jean Baptiste Nociety of Plattsburg, and Mr.Girard, the secretary, were in town yes- terduy and attended a meeting of the locul St.Jean Baptiste Society yesterday afternoon Their visit was made for the purpose of inviting the members of the Nt.Jean Baptiste of Montreal to take part in the celebration of the 24th of June in Plattyburg.They were assured by the different sections of the society here that representatives would go to Plattsburg for the occasion.The regular meeting in connection with the proposed celebration of the St.Jean Baptiste Society in the city on June 24 was then held, under the presidency of Mr.J.K.Gerrault.It was decided that one band only would attend each section, Next Sunday the organization committee will announce the various societies which will take part iu the celebration, also the kind and number of allegorical cars and a definite programme will be arranged.Mr.D.McDonald, superintendent of the Montreal Street Railway, offered to put fifteen cars at the disposal of the society.Monsignor Racicot will officiate at high mass, and the sermon will be preached by Canon Gauthier.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Cadieu Against the City Ottawa, May 22.\u2014In the Supreme Court this morning the appeal was heard in the case of the city of Montreal and Cadieux.The plaintiff, Cadieux, recovered $3,805.60 for balance of fees as expert witness as to valuations for expropriations for widening streets in 1894.The appeal is from the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench, which affirmed the trial court verdict, on the grounds that the charges are excessive and that the whole of the work charged for had not been perform: ed.Atwater, Q.C., and Ethier, Q.C., for appellant; Beaudin, Q.C., for respondent.REGARDING MR.LAFOREST Why should Mr.Laforest be I have written to the two re-

xtafi of The llerald, has Just been appointed dramatic critic of the Brooklyn £ag.c.In speaking or Maude Adamg\u2019 great per:simance of Juliet quile recently, he says: 1t is easy wo speak in approval of departure froin trad.tion, but Miss Adams\u2019 reading of the pra 13 something more than this; ic 1s a degariure from the eter- ral verities, The actress who, being specially adapted both by nuture and by art for the experiment, undercakes to portray the dawn and gradual growth of first love in the inno.ent heart or à pure young giri, deserves well ox any audience if she sue- ceeds emphatically and unnustakably.But she should not ckecse \u2018Romeo and Juliet\u201d as the vehicle of her art.There is no gradual uniolding of the tender mystery to Juliet.The scul which a: the second meeting challenges farcry and fate by its passionate: | \u201cO, Romeo,Romeo! wherefore art thou,to- meo ?Deny thy father and refuse thy name, Or, if thou wilt not, ve but sworn my love And I'l no longer be a Caupie:.\u201d\u201d has been stirred alreadv to tha depths.I'urther developments are tue developments of ruthless tragedy defied by con suming love.Tbe sunet wno uppeared last evening was the Juliet of Miss Adams, not the grand conception of Shakespeare.True, she was more youthtul in appearance and more pmruideniy in manner than was the Juliet of thuée many who have essayed the part in, the jasc; buc even in this rerpect it is doubuful if Lhe per formance as a whole wus greatly benetited.Shakespeare's Juiiet was not vom in St Lawrence County in the early part of the nineteenth century; nor did she grow up in a society circle which prided itselr on ita strict respectability and rieuy ct speech.The Juliet of Verona wi.o hved und loved and died in an age when love was sung by trouhadours often as the motive for the shedding of blood, '» vac Shakespearean Juliet, in fact as Well as In tradition.It would be easy for any actress of attractive appearance and moderate ability to say to the theatre-going public: \u201cI wiil show vou what I wsuld have done had I been Juliet,\u201d and some interesting studies of individual character mignt result, but it

meeting in Halifax in July la:t year.In September last the Protestant Committee of Public Tn- struction of the Province passed a resolution stronzly recommending that commis- sicners, trustees and teachers of the Protestant schools of the Province should specially observe the day preceding the birthday of Her Majesty the Queen by patri- ctic exercises and recitations, and that the day be called Empire Dav.As the mih- tary tattoo had been arranged for the evening of May 23rd, it was decided to held the school concert on the evening before Empire Day.\u2014\u2014\u2014 CROSSLEY-HUNTER

assembled in St.Matthew's Preshyterian Church, comprising representatives of all the churcnes in the Point.Many young pecple of both sexes were present, and to them the speakers addressed themselves, Mr.Hunter chose as his theme the teachinz of Christ as to the law.Matthew Xix, 16-22, gave point to his remarks \u201cMaster, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?\u201d ete.This he said was beautiful and pertinent ques.ton for every young man and Young wo- man to ask.The Saviour\u2019s reply, \u201cKeep the commandments,\u201d and the further question, \u201cWhich?\u201d opened up the question of our own times, und the neglert ot this great code of moral teaching.How often do people read over the ten Commandments?Let us read them.Referring to those mentioned in the Lord\u2019s reply.\u201cThou shalt not kill,\u201d Rev.Mr.Hunter deprecated the unwise action ot the press in publishing in detail all ihe circumstances attending the trial and punishment of those guilty of the crime ot murder, and referring to the hanging oft peg-leg Brown, remarked on the fact of a little child being sent of (ind to this man with a message of love which effect- ew a change in his life.From beinx delivered to the care of the prison warder as one of the most desperate and dangerous ten, to his surprise he found Tan the quietest and humblest of any of tne prisoners under his care.Honor thy father and mother.\u201d greatly was this commandment Tec and discbeyed by the younz of both se in the present day.\u201cThou shalt love thy neighbor as thvself,\u201d a command not

Potatoes\u2014Other Gossip From the Capital.On Saturday morning last Mr.Justice Routhier gave judgment in the case of Dinan et al.vs.Ward et al.This case is really one against the Ship- Laborers\u2019 Association of Quebec.Dinan and his four brothers, with some others, were excluded from the society, and hence sued the said society.Considering that the plaintiffs have failed to prove the essential allegations of their action; considering that the plaintifis have not established the fact that they contributed or confided the amounts of money mentioned in the action to the defendants in this case, nor tat the defendants be account- abis for those sums to them; considering tha! the society wnown under the name of \u201cThe Quebec Shiplaborers\u2019 Beneveicnl Society\u201d was created by a statuta of 18bz, and that it was qissolved and suppressed by another statuie in 1895, to wit.,»by 59 Vic, Ch.¢, Quebec statutes; considering that the members since 1895 nave conlin- ue¢ to maintain said association, in defiance of iaw; and in thus acting contrary to law, and by putting into practice byelaws, which are illicit and contrary to law, they have failed to constitute a de jude or de facto; concidering that the moneys collected by the officers of the said association belong in common to all the members, and that the plaintiffs had uhe right to claim the division t\u2018iereor and their share therein, but not without bringing into the case all the membrs of {lie said association; considering that the defendants 1id not prove the allegations of their plsas, by whicn they pretend to maintain the existence de jure :nd de facto of the said association: the court dismisses the plaintiffs\u2019 action, but without costs.Considerable intere=t was shown in the cise and many of the most prominent of the shipping people here were represented in court.Saturday morning Mr.X.Belanger was working on a house on St.Andre street, when in some way he lost his hold and fell to the street, a distance of about thirty feet.His wrist and shoulder were broken and his head severely cut.\u2018The man was removed to his home, and is in a somewhat critical condition.News comes from Isle aux Condres that a man has swindled the farmers there out of a large sum of money.}H= went aroun! buying potatoes and after making a small deposit took the tubers away without paying for them.He is about $1,000 ahead.A large party of excursion'sis, consist- mg of a part of the railroad conductors from the Detroit convention, arrived in town to-day.-\u2014_ The Bread Question.The Journevmen Bakers met Saturdav afternoon to discuss the weights of bread.They decided it would be more beneficial to themselves and the public at large to have the bread remain at its present | weight, six and four pounds.It was also | decided that the inspector shall be more careful and that all bread shall be confiscated which does not stand the weight.Italy Now.T.ondon, May 22.\u2014(Special.)\u2014A despatch to the Chronicle from Rome says that (hina has consented to Italy\u2019s occupation of San-Mun Bay on condition *hat the place be regarded as a purely commercial port.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 Alexandr a Egypt, Quarantined.Cairo, May 22.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The quaran- tire board has declared the city of Alexan- | dria to be infected with the plague.Two cases have occurred there.Tete-a-Tete.mee Hon.Mr.Mason, ex-Lieut.-Governor of Quebec, arrived here on Saturday from Atlantic City, where he has been staying for some time for the benetit of his health.He was accompanied by Mrs.Mason.* * * Miss Mabel Murray, a member of the British aristocracy, and a cousin of the Duke of Athol, has just horrified society by marrying an attache of the Chinese legation in London, being the first English lady of birth and breeding who has become the wife of a Chinaman.The union has shocked all her family and society at large, for it is well known that her position out of England will be de- piorable, if not dangerous, :fiould she return to China with her husband.What possessed the young woman to do such a thing, or why her guardians did not shut her up until she recovered her senses, nobedy knows.When Lady Ann Coventry wedded the Prince Dhuleep Singh there was a terrible outery; but he was, if an Indian, as English as education and association could make him, while this Mr.Tseng Kwung glories in his race and is Chinese to the very tips of his long finger nails.The white wives of Chinamen, when they sail for China, find their troubles begin.A writer says thev are subjected, on arriving in their husbands\u2019 land, to the most cruel ostra- ciem and contempt by all the white folks in the Orient, and are foreed to put up with hardships and discomforts which only those who have seen what native life in China is can imagine.Perhaps {he most unpleasant feature is the food.for what that can be may be guessed when Chinese gourmets prefer both their cggs and fish stale and in that odoriferous condition that makes the air even shriek with agony.Few white women of birth have ever allied their fate with orientals, and they have been exceptional characters, quite carable of taking the whip hand.Tadv Hester Stanhope\u2019s experiences are well known history; but ber Arab sheik had \u201cto stand \u2019round,\u201d we may safely wager.* * * Mr.and Mrs.E.Fiske, who are spending a few davs in town from Joliette, are staying at the St.Lawrence Hall.Mrs.Alex.Molson and Miss Molson have left town for their country house at Georgeville, where they will spend the next four months.+ * Miss Fleet.Mountain street.who has heen spending the winter in the south, has returned to town after a most enjoyable visit.+ .Mr.and Mrs.Hodge and family, who have left town, have taken up their residence at Lachine for the summer.+ Mrs.Jas.Coristine, University street, will.according to her usual custom.spend the summer months at her delirhtful house at St.Patrick\u2019s Jvith her family.Mr.and Mrs.Arthur Weir and family have taken up their residence for the summer at Pointe Claire, in the handsome cottage on the river front known as \u201cSummer Rest.\u201d * * The Hon.J.K.Ward and family will as usual ocenpy their charming seaside residence at St.Patrick this season, and will be surrounded by a large family circle during the summer.\u2014 MILITIA GENERAL

EVENTS.\u2014\u2014\u2014#- _ Toronto, May 20.\u2014The wealth and fash- lon of Canada were in evidence at the Woodbine this afternoon at the opening oi the Ontario Jockey Club\u2019s spring races.dord Minto was in attendance, as he said, for \u2018\u2019pure love of the sport.\u201d As is well known, His Excellency has a great fancy for the gallopers, and this is the first time since he came to Canada that he has had the opportunity to gratify his love for good horse-racing.Among the fashion- ables present were a number of Montreal ers, including Mr.Colin Campbeil, Mr.and Mrs, Gates, Mr.D.A.Davis, Mr.{zeorge Davis Mr.Jas.Carruthers, Mr.Fred.Beardmore, Mr.and Mrs.1.GG.Shaughnessy, Mr.R.B.Angus and Miss Angus, Mr.and Mrs.J.P.B.Cas gran, Mr.Gordon Strathy and Miss Guathy, Mr.and Mrs,

fast.The steeplechase course could not be improved upon.\u2018The turf was sof: and springy, but there was not a single bad spot in the entire course.The officials were as follows :\u2014 Judge\u2014Mr.À.S.Post, of New York.Steward\u2014Mr.Francis Trevelyan, of New ork.Starter\u2014Mr.C.H.Pettingill, of Mem- pkis.Clerk of the Scales \u2014Mr.J.W.Russ- common, of Nashville.THE QUEENS PLATE RACE.While the first three races on the card attracted a certain amount of attention, the general public were waiting expectantly for the main event on the card, the Queen\u2019s Plate race of 1899.So soon as the winner had been deciared in the third 1ace there was an unusual buzz of excitement in the paddock, on \u2018the lawns and in :ne stands, and a topic that had been almost worn thread-bare during the past six or eight weeks was suddenty revived as if by the magic of a wizard or a necromancer.Lvery move on the track was noted vith the closest scrutiny by the 10,000 spectators, and there were many cranings of necks, many references to progranunes, and many muttered ejaculations as the different candidates, blanketed and numbered, were given their warming-up gallops in preparation for the great contest that was soon to follow.The general impression was that Mr.Seagranr#s continued guccess would remain unbroken, and that one of the four entries would be first pust the wire for the ninth consecutive tune.1t was conceded that the most dangerous competitor Mr.Seagram had came from the stable of the Waterloo distilier\u2019s great rival, Wim, Hendrie, of Hamilion.here were but few, however, who auti- cipated the result, and although they were closely attached to the MHanalton horsemen, their belief was more in tiie nature of a yearning hope than anything csc.The first bugle call sent many liearis a flutter, and the fifteen minute intermission between that and the final call, gave vast opportunity for a series of nervous transformations among the thousands present.\u201cTa-ra-da, ta-ra-da, tava-da-da-da,\u201d rang out the bugle in the saddling paddock and the jockeys mounted and \u2018were given their final instructions by the trainers.Meanwhile the excitement in the crowd had reached that acute silage wliere absolute silence and stillness con stitute the only relief for human 1eelings.There was not a hand-clap, nor the suspicion of a cheer as the horses paraded in front of the stand on their way to the starting point.Even in the (betting paddock where men crowd aud jostle each other ahout in a most undignified manner, for the privilege of losing their money, there was a singular lack of noise andd tumnlt.As a matter of fact, the betting had been very slack on the race, the bookmakers holding the Seagram horses at prombitive odds, and very few of the bettors seemed to want to back anything else.All eves were turned toward the top of the stretch where Starter Pettingill and his assistant stood waiting with their flag and wiiip.The candidates for the Guineas cantered un to the post slowly and majestically as it they realized the importance it the oe- casion.They lined up in the following order, counting from the inside rail: Horse.Jockey.Play.Tun, 101.JMcDermott Dalliance, 123.Valentine Werralta, 10L .2000 .Blair Nick White, 106 .Flint Dalmoor, 126.Williams Toddy Ladle, 103.dJames Butter Scotch, 101.Mason Curfew Bell, 105.\u2026 .Tartan, 103 .«oo.Belleourt, 101.Sullivan .Hailton .Kiitey Dr.Jack, 106.ee ee «oo Janner Sardonyx, 119.McGlone Cocoaunt, 103.Hulett Spring Blossom, 101.Bastien There was only a short delay at the ost.Twice did the horses make false breaks, but these incidents only served t&o increase the nervous tension of tie vast throng of beholders.Presently the wellknown cry, \u201cThey're off !\u201d\u201d was raised, and the sound echoed through the stands in a confused babel.The start was magnificent.Mr.Pettingill had caught the horses almost in a straight line as he dropped his flag, and sent them away on their journey.On toward the stand came the flying steeds, with the jockeys pulling hard to keep them in check.Deil- court, once fancied as a winner, faltered at the eighth pole, and dropped back hopelessly beaten before ihe race had hardly begun.At the sixteenth pole there was another snlit, and the horses, apparently by common consent, ran into two divisions.Passing the stand 'Kerralta, on the extreme outside, led the first lot, which also included Toddy Ladle, Dalmoor, Sardonyx, Butter Scotch and Nick White.Dalliance, fighting hard for his head, was half a length in front of the second division, and appeared to be their pacemaker.\u201cKasy money for Seagram,\u201d observed a man who had a bet on the stable, and this slang expression was pardoned by other supporters of the black and yellow who were near at hand.] The Waterloo candidates were certainly running nicely, and previous experiences had taught race-goers that Queen\u2019s Plate races were won in that exact manner.As the horses rounded the club-house corner Nick White showed in front with the leading Seagram and Hendrie horses in close attendance.Ed.'Clancey\u2019s gamg little cold proved a rare good horse to fcllow, and \u201cBunt\u201d Wlint rated him along perfectly.Younz Nick held his field gafe for over half of the journey, and then, having performed his duty well, dropped back into the ruck.Sardonvx took command of the leaders as they tore down the lakeside of the course, but the advantage was not more than half a length.\u2018Ihe bend was reached without incident, the multitude of onlookers breathless with suppressed excitement.The horses neared the final turn, and everybody stood on their tip-toes and strained their eyes towards the head of the stretch.\u201cDalmoor wins,\u201d shrieked a little chap with a big pair of eve-glasscs as the Waterloo colors flashed round the bend.The brown and yellow of the Hendrie stable showed almost at the same instant, but the bearer was closer to the rail, and was, as a matter of fact, in front of the Seagram horse.A blanket wold have covered Butter Scotch, who was on the inside, Dalmcor, Toddy Ladle and Ter- ralta, Sardonyx having dropp:d back.Wil- hams made his effort as they straightened away for home, and the heavilv-weizhted Dalmoor responded to his rider's urging.Mason leaned forward on Putter Scotch, and rode for all he was worth.The filly cculd not be shaken off.Gradually she wore down the small lead of the biz horse, and a sixteenth of a mile from the wire sie was running him head to head.The crowd looked on in blank amazement.Another shake by Jockey Mason, and the little Hendrie filly showed her courage and speed with every effort.Each jump she gained some advantage, and it was apparent that the Seagram horse was beaten.The pent-up excitement of the immense gathering broke loose in a succession ot wild cheers, and amidst it all Butter Scotch shot past the wire a winner by a length and a half from Da!mooz, who was kept going long enough to get sezond place from the big Hendrie filly.\u2018The others were strung out in Indian fashion, with Bellcourt brinzing up the rear.Renewed cheering greeted the return of Butter Scotch to the saddling paddock, and fair hands stretched over the fence and patted and stroked the heroine of the occasion, while she took it all with the complacency and self-possession of a real queen.Meanwhile a pleasing ceremony was going on in the judge\u2019s stand.Mr.Hendrie was presented with a piece of plate by the Governor-General, who added his pec- sonal congratulations on the victory.Mr.Seagram, who was naturally much disappointed at the outcome, exiended his compliments to Mr.Hendrie, an took his defeat like a true sportsman.The Hamilton delegation went into ecstacies over the event, and in their jubilation they did not forzet to shake hands with Trainer Eddy Whyte, to whom {he

20.\u2014The Cornwall Football team defeated Valleyfield\u2019s crackerjack aggregation here to-day by a sore of 5 goals to 0, and it is a matter of wonder to these who witnessed the game that the score was not 10 or 12 to 0.The Valley- field team defeated Point St.Charles, the Canadian champions, last Saturday, and came here confident or an casy victory.Cornwall rushed the game from the start and virtually had their opponents beaten after fifteen minutes\u2019 play, as the eastern men went to pieces, and in the second balf were on the defensive nearly all the time.\"Tobin, the oid Uttawa

Lasted Only One Minute and Forty-two Seconds When Montreal Landed a Knockout.Ccernwall, May 20.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Quite a crowd of Cornwall sports took in the mocnlight excursion to Hogansburz last night, and witnessed an exciting sparring contest held in that village.The first bout was between Jimmy May and MM.Caul, of Cornwall, who fought siv rounds, at the conclusion of which the referec Ce- clared it a draw.The event of the nizht was a twenty-round contest between H.Walsh, of Montreal, and J.Dowling, ct Ficgansburg, but formerly of Birmingham, England.Walsh went at his man like a whirlwind, found his opportunity and took advantage of it, and Dowling was knocked out in one minute and forty-two seconds.o\u2014\u2014\u2014 GOLE.THE METROPOLITAN CLUB.The Metropolitans were out in such large numbers on Fleicher ¢ field cn Saturday that they had, according to rule, to wait at the teeing ground ull those gcing before had played off their second shot.They did not yet the scheduled game, Old Country vs.Canada, which they met to play otf, tell through, owing to the unavoidable absence of the vice-president, the Canada captain.Two pairs, however, C.H.Alves vs.J.L.Hoerner and J.Fairie va.Rev J.R.Dobson, put through their matches in the second round in the Club Trophy competition.Messrs.Hoerner and Dobscn were the victors in these.All the others played friendly matches.The course was dry and in very good order.The inside of the club house has taken on a new appearance since lockors for clubs have been fixed around the large room.The other thirteen matches in the second round trophy competition must be rlayed off on or before Saturday, this week.Among the players on Saturday were: Chas.H.Alves, J.L.Hoerner, J.A.Faire, Rev.J.R.Dobson, \u2014.Braid- wecod,

there are at least five golf clubs in active existence, the Metropolitan on Fletcher\u2019s field, with 109 members; Royal Montreal G.C., at Dixie, with about twice that number; the other three at Baywiew, Beaconsfield and Seneville, are private or semi-private, but one of them Las lately purchased two new ficlds, which with the old ground gives a fourteen-hole cevrse.This has a membership of somewhere near fifty.AT DIXIE.Compared with previous Sidey medal match days, there was bul a small attendance.of golfers at Dixie on Saturday, though a few of the -old golfers were at this annual meeting.\u2014e INTERCOLLEGIATE SPORTS Oxford and Cambridge Have Chal lenged Yale and Harvard to an Athletic Contest.London, May 20\u2014The American line steainer l\u2019aris, which sails for New York from Southampton, takes a challenge trom Ux£ord and Cambridge Universities to the Universities of Yale and Harvard for an athletic contest to take place on the geuunds of the Queen\u2019s Club, Loudon, during the last week 1n July.The prograuune consists of the follow: ing events: One hundred yards dash.One hundred «na tnoavy yards hurdle race.Quarter of a mile run.Half a mile run.One mile run.Three niles run.Hammer throwing.High jump.Long jump.This is the regular Oxford and Cambridge programme, with a haif mile run substituted for putting the weight, to the ! new rules of which event the English university men are not yet accustomed.The challenge rigidly insists that every American opponent must, like themselves, be ahsolutely a student and absolutely an amateur athlete.From the communications already exchanged between the representatives of Oxford and Cambridge and parties in America, there is little \"doubt that the challenge will be accepted.The meeting will he a great attraction at the'close of the London season, more esnecially ii the presence of the Prince of Wales, United States Ambassador Choates and Lord Rosehery is secured, as is already slated to be the case.Look for a Good Contest.The university men here who have the matter chiefly at heart, including members of both teams, are most anxious IOK the match.They feel that the proposal sent to the United States is a very gportsraanlike offer, and they are confident it will be welcome.The Englishmen point out that so far as the Americans are concerned they know their own strength and the strength of their rivals, as revealed by the Oxford and Cambridge reports in March, but that they, the challengers, are ignorant of what their opponents may have succeded in accomplishing in inter-collegiate sports.This, they say, bodes nothing but good, and a most genuine match, with the most genuine desire that the best side mav win.The feeling of both the lEng- lilsh universities was expressed in an in- {erview to-day by one to whom more than others, is due the present chalienge.He said: .hundred entries made.\u201cHeretofore many attempts have been made to bring about an international match between the American universities and Oxford and Cambridge, but the latter have steadily declined for the very sufficient reason that Oxford and Cambridge have always felt that the state of affairs in athletics in the United States was in a vicious state, corresponding more exactly with the conditions of professional footballl in England.The Fnglish universities, being the leaders in English athleticism, did not care to be responsible for reintroducing the resret- table state of affairs which prevailed when the New York Athletic Club encountered and defeated the Londone Athletic Club, an occasionn when paid athleticism in both ranks was.all too thinly veiled to the infinte diseredit of hoth parties.b That our criticism was true was proved bv the course of events subsequent to that meeting.Several of the so-called amatene athletes on both sides have since been disanalified as professionals.This is as it should be.But, surely it was never right, fin the opinion of right-minded men, that these same professionals should have heen known for a long tine before to have been anvthing but amateurs and should have been conveniently _whitewashed by the process of unscientific opportunism to parade.as selected amateurs.All Difficulties Removed.«Further difficulties arose from the am- biguons statns cf American students.who wore known to be neither reallv students nor reallv amateurs, but who were mere- lv valuable articles imported for the oc casions required into certain American unwersities and were there maintained in ses THE HERALD, MONTREAL, MONDAY, MAY puhlico sumpto.But good heads and hearts bave been hard at work, and in the most important quarters an amelioration has set in.Consequently the English universities, Oxford and Cambridge, have felt that they may now safely challenge the picked universities of America and, in accordance with that feeling, which is based on authoritative assurances, 1rom across the Atlantic the challenge has been sent.For Oxford and Cambridge, the leading universities of Great Brit ain to challenge Harvard and Yale, the leading universities of America, is one thing and a very desirable thing.Dut for Oxford and Cambridge to accept a challenge from the multiple universities of the Inter-collegiate Association of America, ie a very different thing, and one which the Oxonions and Cantabs, for various reasons, are quite justitied in declining.YALE AND HARVARD PLEASED.New Haven, Conn., May 20.\u2014Yale today received the news of the Oxford-Cam- bridge track challenge with undiszuised pleasure.The college has alwavs considered that she profits by the experience ot her visits to England to try her skill on the cinder path and on the water.Yale is therefore anxious to accept the challenge of Oxford and Cambridze, and so far as sh2 is concerned the challenge is as good as accepted.Cambridze, Mass, May 20.\u2014ITarvard attletes to-nizht are talkinz of nothing but the challenge from Oxford and Cam- br.dze for an athletic meet.Nothing is heard but the most favorable comment, as it is believed that the project will bind Harvard and Yale more firmly together, while, above all, English and American college life will be more closely associated.TWO NEW CLUBS.Mr.Louis Rubenstein Spent Saturday in Huntingdon and Valleyfield and Formed Clubs.Mr.Louis Rubenstein returned this morning from

Department Will Enforce the Law to the Letter From Now On.Every non-resident of the Province of Quebec wishing to fish and hunt on our territory is clliged by the law to first take a license.ln the interest of the Province, the Department of Lands, Iorests and Fisheries has thought that so far it was better not to apply that law to clubs and individual lessees of hunting and fi hing territory, nor to their invited guests and honorary members of clubs.So many abuses, however, have been the conse quence of this toleration that it has ba- come necessary to apply the law in certain cases.\u201cThe department has quite lately addressed to all the lessees and to all secretaries of clubs the following circular, which explains itsef: Sir,\u2014Hitherto the law compelling all non-residents of the Prevince of Quebec to take out licenses for fishing and hunting, has not been applied to non-residents invited by lessees of hunting and ush ng territorias, or the honcrary membetvs ot incorporated clubs.have the honor to inform you that with the view.of putting an end to numerous abuses, the department has decided that in future the bona fide active members of an incorporated club and the lessees of hunting and fishing territories in the Province of Quebec, shall alone be exempt from obtaining an extra license to fish and hunt in this Province.Therefore, honorary members of a club and guests who are not residents of the Province must, in future, obtain a license, the fee for which shall be as follows: #10 for a fishing license and $25 for a hunting license or $1.50 per diem for the right to hunt and $1 per diem for the right to fisn when a license is required for three or four days only.Please take note of this decision and notify the members of your club for you will be held responsible for all infringements of the law in this respect, and any such infringement might entail the cancelling of your lease, To facilitate the obtaining of licenses, secretaries of clubs can, on application, have sent to them a certain number of blanks, which they can fill up for the convenience of their members and remit the fees to the department.I have the honor to be, sir, vour obedient servant, S.N.Parent, \u2018Commissioner of Lands, Forests and Fisheries.JOCKEY HORTON DEAD.He Was Injured at Morris Park When Riding in the Grand National

shares selling at the opening at 312, and at 504 at the close.A similar decline is recorded on New Street, which sold at 308 and then at 300 1-4 A fair idea of the full extent of the slump in Street may be had when it is seen that just two weeks ago to-day the stock sold at 336, a drop of no less than 32 points.The loss within the week has also been important, and to-day\u2019s price is just 18 points below the figure quoted last Monday.A decline like this does not come without theories and rumors, and these were to be had to-day by the bushel.There are a number of factors which, of course, loom up more or less prominently in the movement, but the idea that the deal is largely a speculative one finds about as many friends as any other.The Montreal Strect Railway earnings for the past

at the opening proved to be somewhaf in the direction of lower prices.\u2018Traction stocks were particularly weak on the prospects that the Ford bill will become law in its present form.The decline in them brought selling of other stocks, and there was some pressure on Grangers, apparent- lv from the trade in shorts.The steel stocks were also heavy on realizing.There were no indications of large
