Ottawa, June 5\u2014Last week The Herald published 1 statement of the opin- jon of the insurance managers and actuaries who waited upon the Minister of IS OFF, Finance and the Minister of Trade and Commerce concerning the amendments to the Insurance Act contemplated in Hon.Mr.Fielding's bill.The statement set forth in detail the sliding scale arrangement by which it is proposed to bring into operation the changes demanded %v new financial conditions, without preju- dicially affecting existing business.In order to present more clearly the considerations which have led to the move.The Herald correspondent has secure\u201d from one of the leading actuaries the following carefully prepared statement concerning this important Tife insurance legislation : Nature of the Change.\u201cThe Honorable Minister of Finance Mas introduced into the House of Commons a bill \u201camending the Insurance Act.\u201d This bill touches upon several matters affecting life insurance interests, but especially upon two, viz: \u201c1.Expansion of the powers of investment of funds, and \u201c2.The basis upon which policy re- sérves shall be maintained.\u201cThe matter of investments is one of great concern to life insurance companies, inasmuch as when the choice on investments is restricted, it is with difficulty that securities can be obtained to yield a satisfactory rate of interest, combined with the maximum of security.\u2018Ihe increasing of the limits of investment will tend to assist the companies a larger rate of irrterest th and, consequently, their business upon standard_than L.© existing Insurance in the year 1877.Fall in Interest Rate.\u201cWhen the Insurance Act of 1877 was passed, the life insurance companies were earning approximately 7 per cent.interest on their investments, and the rate which it was stipulated the companies should reserve at was 4 1-2 per cent.Since that time it is a well known fact that the average rate of interest realized has declined materially.In 1897 the average rate of interest earned by the companies was 4 3-1 per cent., or but one-quarter of 1 per cent.more than the legal rate at which reserves are being held.It is claimed by nearly all authorities on the subject of \u2018n- surance finance that a margin of irom 1-2 to 1 per cent.should exist between the rate of interest earned by the assets and the rate at which the reserves are caleu- lated, and following this sound doctrine, the act now introduced by the Government proposes that all new business on and after the 1st of January, 1900, shall Le maintained on a 3 1-2 per cent.basis, and after 1907 all old business shall be brought up to that standard.The rate of 3 1-2 per cent.does not appear to be too low, when 1t is considered that the life insurance companies\u2019 contracts extend sometimes for twenty to fifty years into the future, and that it is impossible to change the pre- mum rates.herefore, at the inception of the contract, the premium should be based upon such a conservative rate of interest as will te well maintained throuzh- out the history of the policy.The period of seven years proposed to be allowed by the Government for bringing the old business to the 3 1-2 per cent.standard.appears to be abundantly ample, for in Great Britain the life insurance companies have repeatedly brought their reserves from one standard to another in a much less period; sometimes in three and sometimes in Hve years.The large American insurance companies bave done likewise, while one of our largest Canadian life companies chan ged the interest basis of its reserves from 4 1-2 per cent.to 4 per cent.in a single year.Nome of the best British insurance companies are now basing their reserves on a 2 1-2 per cent.basis, while it is the exception for a high grade office to have ts reserves based upon a higher interest basis than 3 per cent.Already some o! our Canadian insurance companies have adopted a 3 1-2 per cent.interest basis, while no less than twelve out oi fifteen have adopted a severer standard than that prescribed in the present act, by adopting a 4 per cent.or 3 1-2 per cent.standard, for the whole or a part of their business.In realizing an In the past - .\u2019 aid them in placing à more conservative referred to in the, Act which was passed Views of Insurance Men.\u201cThe Equitable Life Assurance Society recently asked the opinions of the leadinz financiers ot the United States of America, wnat they would consider to be a sate tate OL interest for a life insurance company to employ on the calculation of premiums, ete., tor contracts extending into the tu- ture many years, and the concensus vi opinion was 3 per cent.\u201cThe etfect of using a lower rate of interest in the calculation of reserves rn respect of old business wil likely be tu reduce temporarily the protits to policyholders, although this has not always toliowed.In some ot the best British offices the rate of profits was maintained, while a reduced rate of interest was employed in the valuation of reserves, and probably the mox noted instance of this is to be found in :ne .case of that excellently managed and somewhat remarkable institution, the Austra- ilan Mutual Provident, whose Jubilee Report has ju-t come to hand.The following is an extract taken from the Actuaries\u2019 report: \u201cIt 1s a matter of Mmstory that a financial crisis of unexamplcd intensity occurred in these colonies in the year 15)3, involving among matters a serious fall in the rates of interest yielded by investment.The tendency to the fall of rates of interest has not escaped the attention of the board, for more than a year betere the crisis the question of reduction in the rate emploved in the valuation of the society\u2019s policy liabilities was considered.In 1892 I had instructions from the board to prepare the case for the opinion, for submission to three English actuaries, and as a matter of fact I was on my way to | 1 submited the case for opinion to Messrs.A.H.Bauley, A.Hendnk and A.1 Hardy.\u2018lhese gentlemen adv.sed ne change should be made from die rate ot | per «ent.to 3 1-2 per cent, but in order te ævu.d injuslLee La exislng members, that process should be a gradual one ur: Ing about five years.No great were the resucves ol the sovety, however, that | was enabled t> c mjlete the process Tu three years, and by 187 the whole of the poilues (except a lew under the nun-par- LIGPAlIng xales; were valued on a 312 per cent.buas.The change was mide wrthout any material reduction in the rate oi bonuses allutited.\u201d Mr.Frelding's Bill Approved.\u201cThe opinion of the best authorities in Canada 1s that the change can be made by our Canadian companies without appre- cisbly disturbing existing conditions.[he effect of the change, of course, will be 10 matecually strengthen the companies\u2019 ae curty tw policyholders.Even if the me.fits of some of the companies decline iu consequence of the change in the interest basis of valuation, that is a matter of little moment compared with the securing of unquestioned soundnes in the valuation of the companies\u2019 policies, and great- Iv increasing the security of the contracts of the thousands who have entrusted their funds to these corporations.\u201cThe Government is to be congratulated | upon taking this wise, prudent and con- srvative step\u2014a sten which we under.\u2018stand finds hearty sympathy and support ; from many of the best-mana-zed life insur- - aNce companies in Canada.\u201d The Combination Off.Speaking of insurance, The Ilerald correspondent has learned upon the best authority that the proposed amalgamation of several of the Canadian companies has been definitely declared off.It will be rcmembered that the proposal involved the absorption by the Canada Life of two of the smaller Canadian life insurance companies, in each of which Senator Cox held ,A controlling interest, as well as in the Canada Life.After due consideration, it was decided that the common interests would be best served by allowing the old crder to continue, and this course has been followed.FROM THE OLD CAPITAL.A Suicide- An Address-Thes Races\u2014 Colonization \u2014Qusb:c Bank Changes.Quebe.\u2026, June 4\u2014 (Special) \u2014William Goudrelluw, a farmer vs St.Jeachun, (Lhatcausuay, aged 20 years, and a bach- cor, haugeu hanselt on disday List in ns farm Rouse.An injuest was held, toe verdict LuINZ sultid: IN à MOMENL ol men: tul aberratuon.Yesterday the employes of the Quarain- tine station, of Grosse 1sle, prescnted an address to Dr.Montizambert on Lhe occa: sion of lus departure.The anpuual trotting and pacinZ races take place in Savard Park on fuesday, Wednesday and Lhursday next.Tnerc 1s a large number of entries and local horsemen expect a goud meeting.At St.Cyriac de Lhicouumi last week the farm houses and other buildings cf Mr.Lazare Vaillancourt were completely destroyed by tire.Forest fires are still raging.Last week the little village of St.Urbain was in gro.o danger, as great ravages were made vy Lue fire in the neighboring woods.Much difficulty was experienced in saving Girard's mill, amd as it is, the grouna and the roofs of the houses are covered with a thick coating of cinders.That the whole village was not wiped out seerns almost a miracle.T'mis year extraordinary efforts ave to be made in the colonization of the canion of Port Daniel, Bonaventure county.Mr.A.Bedard, one of the most active colomisa- tion officers in the service of the Federal Government, has bought fer a powerful syndicate of French capitalists a large amount of land, on waicn he wishes io place a number of the families of the counties of Rimouski and Matane.The following changes in the staff of the Quebec Bank are announced: Mr.1.C.Coflin to be manager at Ottawa brancu, Mr.B.B.Stevenson is appointed superintendent of commercial loans at Montreal branch, Mr.J.M.Johnston to be manager at Quebec, Mr.C.15.Godwin to be manager at St.Roch, Mr.P.D.Strickland to | be manager at Pembroke, Mz.C.C.Smith to be manager at Upper Town, Mr.Allan McDougall to be a ing manager at Three Rivers, Mr.B.O'R.Sioane has been appointed accountant at Montreal to sue- ceed Mr.C.C.Smith.- SETTLERS FOR CANADA.Seven Hundred and Seventy-two Gal- icians Arrived in Halifax This Morning En Route to the Northwest.Halifax, N.S., June 5.-\u2014(Special.)\u2014~Tie Hamburg-American liner Bulgaria, one of the largest steawcrs that ever entere:l Halifax harbor, reached this port to-day with 772 ualicians, who are bound vo ihe Northwest.She steamed at once to her dock, an evidence that her big cargo of lnumigrants were in safe condition for landing, and their disembarkation began at once.The crowd will be all ashore this \u2018afternoon and most, if not all, of them will have started on their long land journey belore the day is ended.NEW BARRISTERS.Called on Friday at Osgoode Hall.Toron to\u2014Results of Second Year Exams Given Out.Toronto, June 3.\u2014The following gentlemen were yesterday called to the bar at Osgoode Hall: A.R.Clute, R.F.Me- MW uliams, with honors;

and if we observe this in our innovations we will be safe.The pioneer preacher had no auxiliary agen- cles to help him in his church work us choir leagues, ete., and he went out depending on God only.We, in desp.te of the fact that we have many external helps, need God just as truly.Let us maintain the sacredness and attractiveness of the Lord\u2019s Day.We are moving for ward as a nation.Shall our nation be exalted for righteousness ?The missionary activity of the present century surpasses that of the first century.One branch of the Protestant (Turch, viz, Methodism, has done more this century for missions than was done by the apostolic church.Methodism has now 35,- 000,000 of adherents.With two hundred vears of history and one hundred years of missionary cnterprise behind us, we can move forward to the twentieth century with confidence, and we hope the ushering in of this period will be a blessing to our people both spiritually and financially.Rev.Dr.Crothers moved a resolution mended his fidelity, his moral courage and great ability as an editor of our connex- ional paper.;

perhaps of both.a LABOR MEN ORGANIZE.= Thep Hope to Take an Active Part in Provincial and Dominion Politics.ve Toronto, Ont., June 5.\u2014(Special.)\u2014A new Canadian political party has been organized in Toronto, which hopes to take an active part in provincial and Dominion politics The name of the new organization is \u201cThe Independent Labor party of Canada.\u201d The initial steps toward the organization were taken on Wednesday evening last, when about a score of labor leaders.nearly all of whom were members of the local Trades and Labor Council, assembled at Richmond Hall The project was thoroughly and favorably discussed, and it was finally decided to launch the party under the name mentioned above.It was then decided to hold an open meeting for the formal organization on Wednesday, June 14th.As the title would suggest, the principal object of the proposed party is to advance the interests of the laboring classes.The Independent Labor party of Canada, which is intended to a certain extenc tu take the place of the Patrons of Industry, will not confine its membershin; as, that organization did.to the labor or farming classes alone, but will admit any worthy person regardless of position cr rank, provided he is independent in his political views.&o\u2014 A Poet's Prophecy.Some wonder has been expressed as tq what particular thing Walt Whitman had in mind in his \u201cSong of the Exposition\u201d when he wrote: \u201cmaning and pleased with palpable intent to say, She's here installed amid the kitchenware.\u201d Whatever he may have meant, his words are an unconscious prophecy of the advent of the gas range into the modern kitchen.Nothing in these wide-awake times is more seriously installed amid the kitchenware than the gas range.The reasons are not far to seek.With every argument of economy, convenience and comfort in its favor, it is not surprising that the gas range is installed amid the kitchenware of over 9,000 Montreal residences.ee pe : TOWN CLERK IN TROUBLE, Gravenhurst Civic Employee is Said to be $3,700 Short in His Accounts.Orillia, Ont., June 5 \u2014(Special.)\u2014 There is trouble in municipal matters in Gravenhurst.Friday ithe town clerk was arrested at the instance of the town council on a charge of being 33,700 short in the funds of the mu- ricipality.He was released on $4,000 bail until to-day, when the matter will Le further considered.Tha shortage Seems a mystery.ee One of the most interesting lectures of the Season\u2014\u201cOliver CromweH\u201d\u2014by Dr.REPUBLIC, B.C., BURNED._T Business Portion of the Little Camp Was Wiped Out of Existence.Republic, B.C., June 5.\u2014The business centre of this mining camp was burned out ty a fire that started in the Sp'egle building at an early hour Sa:- urday morning.A brisk wind was blowing at the time and the flimsily constructed buildings were swept away like tinder.The flames were oniv got under control by the use of dynamite.The losses were as follows: Republic Trading Company, $17,600;

MONTREAL, MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1890.REV.B.F.AUSTIN AND SPIRITUALISM.The Views Which Resulted in Deposing Him from the Methodist University\u2014His Future Plans Unsettled.Toronto, June 3.\u2014The World has the foliowing interview with Rev.Dr.Austin, lately expelled from the Methodist min- .istry on account of his belief in spiritualism : \u201cIt has been the history from all time that a man who dared To have views and express them contra to the ordinary opinion, was persecuted.\u201d Such were the words of kev.benjamin Fish Austin, ex- principal of Alma College, St.Thomas, \u2018addressed to The World when seen last night at 31 O'Hara avenue, Mr.Austin 12 no average Methodist.He is the descendant \u2018ot four generations of strict Methodists.His education was obtained in Albert College (Methodist), Belleville, where he obtained the degrees of B.A.B.D.He was ordained a Methodist minister in 1877 and preached on various Methodist circuits, for a time as pastor of the Metropolitan Methodist Church, Ottawa.In 1881 he became principal of Alma College (Methodist) at St.1 pomas, und retained the position till de A Senator of Victoria.He is a Senator of Victoria Universit {Methodist), and was made a Methodist doctor of divinity in 189%.For a time he was editor of The Methodist Episcopal Pulpit, and has frequently had articles in The Methodist Christian Guardian.Mr.Austin is a kindly-countenanced man of 50, with a clear eye and a thinking: mind.I Tigh \u201cIl met Inspector Hughes to-d an he said he sympathize with mp, I told him I needed no sympathy,\u201d said Mr.Austin.\u201cAt the conference \u2018n \u2018Windsor, they declared I was the coolest man present,\u201d he added.Not a Sudden Whim.\u201cWas this acceptance of spiritualism a sudden whim of yours ?\u201d was asked.\u201cBy no means.That's where the reports have been wrong.When I was principal of Alma College, one of the subjects taught by me was psychology.1 collected many out-of-the-way facts and investigated them.For eight years I have been a close student of psychics.Some time ago I fell in with several spiritualists and had ocular demonstration of their phenomena.During the last two years have been convinced that the theory of spirits\u2019 return would explain the phenomena.\u201d \u201cWhat phenomena ?\u201d Those presented by psychology, tele- rathy and clairvoyance\u2014the phenomena of mind and spirit.\u201d bi * How They See the Devil.I Mr.Austin stated that these phenomen were explained by three different theories.The first was that they were the product - of the devil.\u201cThis,\u201d said he, \u201cis the popular theory among church people.But then people are prone to see the devil n what they don\u2019t understand.~The second theory was that the phe- nemena were seen by the uncohscious mind, that every person had two brains a conscious and an unconscious one.This was bis, view till recently.e Theory of Spiritualism.The third theory, the one he now held to, was taken by him after reading much testimony and after receiving indisputable self-evidence.THIS theory was spir- itvalism.\u2019 \u201cYesterday was the first time I announced myself a spiritualist,\u201d Mr.Austin declared.: \u201cWhat do you mean by spiritualism?\" Well, it is & ward that has a bad name, because of the deception that has teen practised under its cloak.I mean that the spirits of those departed do come to one and hold converse.They do not come whenever one wishes it, but under certain conditions they aprear.A psychie must be present.A psychic is an abnormally developed person who can ccmmune with departed spirits.The prophets of old were psycliics.Joan of Are and Socrates were psvchics.\u201d \u201cThen Christ was the greatest psychic?\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s -what they say, though I have never declared it.He was the perfect man and in that was abnormal.\u201d \\ What Converted Him.I \u201cWhat converted you to spiritualism?\u201d \u201cThe writing of Sir William Crooks, president of the British Association, those of Alfred R.Wallace, those of Prof.Zoll- ner, of Germany, those of Dr.Joscph Cook, those of Dr.George Sexton and other able men in science.\u201d Continuing, in a manner calm, thouzh enthusiastic, as if he were talking or a subject long à reality to him.Mr.Austin said that he began to examine spiritualism in its relation to religion, the churen and the interpretation of the Bible.He found the Bible was full of spiritual teaching, full of the phenomena of spirit- valism.He had often told his friends that he was an investigator of spiritual- * ism and believed in its phenofhena.Where the Difference Came First.\u201cWhere did your difference with the Conference originate?\u201d \u201cRight here in the city on Sunday, Jan- vary Sth, 1898.At the request of Rew.Mr.Rankin, of Dunn avenue Methodist church, I preached in his church.I chose as my text, \u2018Buy the truth and sell it not, Prov.xxiii., 23.That sermon caused the present trouble.\u201d The introduction to the sermon told of the character of truth and its value to Fumanity.Man's chief business was to find out and live the truth.That was religion.There were many hindrances to the finding of truth.Among them was the idea, taught from the pulpit, that men were to get truth from the preacher, and were not to seek it themselves.Mr.Austin lield that every man should examine spiritual truth for himself.Another hindrance was the belief that all truth came to the world over 1800 years ago in a complete system, and from then till now there was no revelation.This Mr.Austin stoutly opposed in the sermon.He declared there were revelations to-day in spiritual things, just as there were 1800 years ago.lis idea was, \u201cWhatever has been, is and will be.\u201d ways of getting at truth were stated.Great stress was laid upon the cultivation of the spiritual powers.These powers, - when developed, made a man able to come in contact with the spirit world arcund him.\u201cThere\u2019s a spirit world all round about us, and tnrough the spirit faculties men see without eyes and hear without ears.\u201d Stand of the Church To-day.The sermon showed that the church of to-day was taking a stand in opposition to truth by opposing scientific men and the deductions of science.\u2018The church should take in truth as soon as it were demonstrated.The caurch should assume a sympathetic attftude to the deductions of science.The truths of psychology were instanced.The church should welcome them, but, instead, it ostracized a man who clung to them.As was natural, the sermon excited much ccmment, favorable and otherwise.A synopsis of it was published by a friend of Dr.Austin in an Ohio paper, copies of which were widely circulated among Canadian ministers.Where Mr.Going Comes In.Now this is where the Rev.Mr.Going of Port Stanley comes into the story.Ie saw the report of the sermons and wrote to Dr.Austin, asking if it was correct.He was answered in the affirmative and replied that the matter would have to be taken back, or Ur.Austin would be called upon to stand his trial tor heterodoxy- .On April 1, 1899, a notice of charges was preferred to Conference.mer and Dr.Austin was not present, but he sent a short defence.The Charges Laid.The charges against him, laid by Rev.Mr.Going, were: 1.He denied the doctrine of eternal vi nishment.2.He denied the divinity of Christ and disparaged the atonenient.3.He preached a doctrine contra the finality of revelation.4.He upheld modern spiritualism.The charges were based on the sermon preached in Toronto.This committee found Dr.Austin guilty cn charges 2, 3 and 4 and suspended him to the Conference.At the Conference at Windsor the matter was discussed for the better part ot two days.The friends.of Dr.Austin asked him to say nothing in his defence, but he desired to make Conference and the church to qu) 4 i / § SR eu 4 a) RSA SENS rer TN VEINE REV.DR.AUSTIN.acquainted with the reasons of his ad- vecating spiritualism.He desired to be honest.The result was that Dr.Austin was found guilty of the charges and deposed fron: the ministry.Told His Sermon was Guiltless.Dr.Austin told the World that he had the authority of an eminent Methodist divine, whose opinion would count much in Methodism, that his sermon was guiltless of three of the charges.\u2018 Catechised by The World.The Vi orld turned Catechiser and asked Dr.Austin if he denied eternal punishment.: \u201cI nover denied it,\u201d he said, \u201cDo yoa deny the divinity of Christ aud dirparage the atonement.\u201d \u201cXa.\u201cDo you deny the doctrine of the finality of revelation?\u201d \u201cI never heard of the doctrine, but IT certainly believe there are revelations to-day, as there were 2,000 years ago.\u201d He Upholds Spiritualism.\u201cDo you uphold modern spiritualism?\u201d \u201c1 certainly do.\u2019 The deposed minister said he had no hard feelings azainst the members of the Conference yet he thought they had not been very liberal in their views.He declared that sooner or later all men would come to view matters a he did.Is was merely a question of time.As to his future movements Dr.Austin had little to say.At present he is under contract to a publishing firm.He thought he would shortly preach and lecture in Winninez.throughout the country.His home is now \u201cWill you appeal to the Genera} Conference?\u2019 was asked.\u201cI am not decided about that.It js expensive to trave! from Winnipeg.My defence and sermon will be published and circulated.\u201d When the World Quit.The World rose to go, and asked, in a half bantering way, \u201cDo you believe in ghosts, Doctor?\u201d With a face as grave as an owl's the Doctor replied, \u201cWhy that belief is at the very root of spirituaiism.\u201d The World came away.mas Toward the close of the sermon the BUTTER CARS.PC The Iced Car for the Transportation of Butter on the O.P.R.Starts This Week, The Oanadian Pacific has sent out the following circular: \u201cCommencing Wednes day, June 7th and weekly thereafter until Further notice, an iced car for the tran- eportation

Managing Director, MONDAY, JUNE 5.OUT-OF-TOWN SUBSCRIBERS.Subscribers to The Herald going out of town for the summer may have the paper sent tothem by mail for twenty-five cents per month, PROPOSALS FOR ARBITRATION.The official report of the proposals, made while the Joint High Commission was in session, for a reference of the Alaskan boundary dispute to arbitration, justifies the confidence felt by Canadians, ever since the adjournment of the Commission in the stand taken by Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the other British commissioners.The proposals submitted by the British side appeal at once to the reader as being eminently reasonable and fair to both parties.The counter proposals made by the Americans can scarcely fail to suggest that they are founded on the desire to secure for the United States their claims before the arbitration should commence its labors.Nothing could well be fairer than the proposition of the British delegates to ascertain by an arbitration, which should be decisive, the boundary intended by the Anglo-Russian agreement of 1825, especially when the proposition was accompanied by @ direction to the arbitrators fo allow fifty years\u2019 occupation of settlements to constitute an absolute right in face of documentary rights\u2014a condition of the arbitration which could be of advantage to the United States only, seeing that all the disputed settlements are under American occupation.The appointment of arbitrators was also to be on lines laid down by the Venezuelan precedent, one to be appointed by each Government, and the third to be chosen by these two appointees.The American counter proposals cannot be said to have Leen dictated by fairness \u2019 to such an extent that any sympathy need De expended on the United States by English public men because of their not having been accepted.It was proposed to tiave the arbitration board consist of three judges on each side, without an umnire.The question that inevitably suggests Itself on reading this proposition is as to why there should be more probability of six judges agreeing upon a scttlement than there was of the commissioners themselves reaching an agreement.I'he decision of some outsider, one not in any way interested in the success of either party, was and is absolutely essential to a final settlement of the dispute.The American proposition made it altogether probable that there would mot be finality.When this view of the case had been presented, the Americans apparently gave in a partial acquiescence, and immediately suggested a South Am- enjcan umpire.To this the British com- lssioners wera obliged to object, reluctantly we may be sure, but, owing to the peculiar attitude assumed by the United States towards other American states, notably in the Venezuela incident, an American umpire could not be looked upon as necessarily and assuredly neutral.It is surely not too much to believe that Lord Herschell and Lord Salisbury were in thorough agreement with the (Canadian delegates us to the impossibility of accepting the American proposals, which on their face indicated a desire to get a good deal more than even-handed justice.For not only did the American proposition provide for an indecisive, or ¢lse unacceptable, board of arbitration, but the terms of the reference, as proposed by them, were such as to settle beforehand a vital part of the dispute, for they proposed to withdraw from the arbitrators the right of saymg what constitutes the coast line from which the boundary is to be determined.Mr.Asquith is quoted as saying, \u201che is not sure our Canadian brethren have approached tha question with the calmness of the United States\u201d and again, that \u201cthe Canadians have shown a tremendous tenacity, which, however, is necessary in dcaling with the sharpest-witted business people in the world.\u201d In the light of this official publication Mr.Asquith will sec that his solicitude is not justified.It must puzzle him or any other student of aftairs to see how the Canadians could have been anything but tenacious under the circumstances, and a little reflection must also show him that the only indications of lack of calmness have come from Washington and New York, Canadian discussion of the question being practically confined to the dignified utterances of the Premier, which have tended to allay the excitement both in England and the United States.regret GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.The Provincial Government has taken steps to encourage the building of good roads in this province as much as the burdened condition of the provincial exchequer will permit.There can be no question as to the wisdom of this policy.Good roads may be said to be essential to the prosperity of agriculture, and everything that the provincial adminjs- tration can do in that direction, we are glad to know, will be done.There should be no misunderstanding, however, regarding the Government\u2019s duty in the matter.There is already too great a disposition to look to the Government for everything.The construction and maintenance of roads is distinctly a municipal \u201cwork; the Government can only act as a friend and ad- Viser.It is for the municipal authorities to study the question and to demonstrate to the ratepavers the importance of doing permanent work.1f they go about it nightly they will have no trouble in convincing the people that the best is the cheapest; that with good roads the farm- ¢r can haul heavier loads faster and at less expen-e for wagon and harness repairs; and that a good road once made needs little attention.The practice has prevailed too long and too generally of regarding the money raised for highway purposes as strictly for the repair of the roads.The work of establishing the highways in the beginning was most crudely done, at a time when it was not felt the tommunity should bear the burden of making a thorough roadway as we now scientifically understand the public needs; and the work since has been patching up the makeshift thus laid out.The rural municipalities should adopt t®e example set by the urban bodies, and make an effort to build a permanent road which can be cheaply maintained.Until that idea prevails highway expenditure may properly be described as largely useless.Not that every rod of road in the province should be macadamized, but the roads should be, as soon as possible, put into a permanent, enduring state, such as the conditions and uses warrant.A practical way of reaching such an end is for each municipality to _use a portion of its morey for systematic, enduring road-building every year, expending the balance in such sums only as is needed to make the other roads safely passable for the time being.The township that carries out such a plan will be making practical strides towards lower taxes, fewer accidents and greater prosperity.Macadam is not everything in the ma%- ing of good roads.Even where it cannot be laid proper construction and drainage will prevent the roads from turning into quagmires.The State of New York last year had an experience which shows that a great deal of money may be expended with unsatisfactory results, while with care, knowledge and commonsense, good roads can be had at a reasonable cost.The State Legislature having appropriated $50,000 for roads, five contracts were let as Iollows: Schenectady County, two miles, $7,295 per mile; Oneida County, 2 3-4 miles, $6,136 per mile; Columbia County, 6,000 feet, $5,863 per mile; Erie County, 6.54 miles, $3,784 per mile; Monroe County, 2.45 miles, $4,- 285.71 per mile.These were stone roads, and they proved to be, after a year, worse than the earth highway.On the other hand, the report of the Public Works Department of Elmira for last year showed that during the year there had been built in various sfreets of that city 14.43 miles of gravel roads.The average cost was $502.75 a mile, and the people of so large a city as Elmira were satisfied.In Pennsylvania they also have earth roads which are kept dry and hard the year around.It is true that there they can afford to sprinkle \u2018them with crude petroleum.This should be a hint to each municipality to take advantage of every circumstance, and to use the material nearest home.To do this, investigation and judgment are required.Many muni®ipal councillors can make a reputation for ; themselves as well as become pubiic bene- | factors by turning their attention in this direction.> THE BREAD QUESTION.\u201cI do not understand what the fight is about; what is good for one baker should be good for the other,\u201d Ald.Ames is reported to have said at the Police Committee the other day, when a delegation of bakers appeared to ask for a change in the by-law regulating the size of loaves.That all honest men engaged in the same business should have.interests in common is indeed clear enough, but in all trades there are men who rely on some form of deceit or sharp practice to make money, and the bakers would be, an exception if some such had not crept into their ranks.The position at present is this: The city of Montreal has had for over thirty years a by-law which states that the loaf of brown bread shall weigh six pounds and the loaf of white bread four pounds.If it was wise to enaat such a by-law, if it is wise to allow it to remain on the statute book, it certainly shpuld be enforced.But since the present agitation for a change has been started we have had admissions from the bakers themselves\u2014as well from those who oppose a change as from those who favor it\u2014that the by-law is not observed; that it is on the books practically only to deceive the people, and make them believe they are protected as to the weight of their loaf, when they ars not.It is admitted that, under the construe- tion put upon the by-law by the inspector, all the bakers are allowed to make and to sell loaves smaller than the regulation weight, because, forsooth, they have classed these light loaves as \u201cfancy bread.\u201d Fancy bread, indeed, made of the same flour as the regulation loaf, baked in the same oven, and having no other distinguishing mark than, sometimes, its shape, and always its lack of weight.The baker says: \u201cYou know that this fancy bread weighs less; it is not stamped.\u201d That is very well for the initiated; but how many people in Montreal know the contents of the book of civic by-laws?They only know in a vague way that there is a by-law regulating the weight of bread, that there is an inspector to protect them.Now they learn that the by-law is a farce, that loaves of any weight can be foisted upon them by an artifice of nomenclature, with the sanction of an inspector, who is no doubt guided by some precedent laid down in the Recorder\u2019s Court! Is such a system, by which hundreds of dollars can every day be taken from the pockets of the unwary, to be tolerated?Certainly not.A change being needed, there are two alternatives.The first is to abolish the bylaw altogether, and to \u2018let the people know that they must not rely for protection on the official inspector; that the loaf of bread is not of standard weight, but a thing of any size which it may please the baker to make it.We do not believe that this is what the people want.They do not want to be put to the trouble of weighing their bread to ascertain whether the baker who makes a twelve-cent loaf is really selling cheaper per pound than the one who makes a fourteen-cent loaf.They would not want the quant nor the pound to become variable measures of quantity in the grocery, so that there would he the smail - LL - THE HERALD, MONTREAL, MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1899, quart and the light pound as well as the large and long ones.That could only lead to confusion and deceit.In the same way, the loaf has always been looked upon as a standard of quantity in bread, and such it should remain.And the first quality of a standard is to be general and uniform.Uniformity means a simple, easy way of calculating the price in proportion to the quantity sold; diversity leads only to confusion without corresponding advantages.There is no more reason why the standard loaf should be larger when it is brown bread than when it is white, than there should be a long yard for calico and a short one for silk\u2014and the only reason for the latter would be to deceive the cts- tomer as to the price he is really paying for the more expensive article.Let us say the standard loaf, white and brown bread, is fixed at four pounds.The customer will know at once whether he is asked one or two cents more per pound for the white bread, without having to enter into any calculation, and he will be able more readily to decide whether the difference in quality is worth the difference in price.And night here we have the reason why some bakers object to a uniform standard ioaf.We (had heard from on@ of our correspondents that a change would mean some expense to some bakers, by necessitating new baking tins.Of course, this reason should not be allowed to stand in the way of public interest.The fact of brirging it forward indicated a dearth of good arguments.Now we are informed that a more important motive for the opposition is that some bakers have built up a business by making small loaves which look very well and sell at a comparatively high price; they are afraid that if the customer knew really what he is paying per pound for this bread he might seriously object.I: that be true, it is a very strong argument for a change; and we have no doubt that it is true in many cases.A standard loaf, with efficient inspection, will, at all events, put an end to the possibility of such things and can do no harm.It will not in the least interfere with the Diberty of the baker, who will be free to make a double loaf, a haif loaf or a quarter loaf; but the fraction will at once be an indication to the purchaser of the quantity the is getting.Some of the aldermen have asked time to consult their electors, and seem to consider the question lightly.As a matter of fact, there has perhaps not been a rrore important issue raised for a long time.There are perhaps some fifty thousand loaves of bread sold in the city every day.A few ounces off each will represent a large sum at the end of the year; and the loss will bear heaviest upon the poor, who are least able to stand it.\u201cTha question demands immediate and intelligent consideration.a \u2014_\u2014\u2014,\u2014\u2014\u2014 à NO ORDINARY BOTCH, The Health Committee has decided to repair the civic hospital.It will do well to look after the work closely.It is proverbially hard to make anything satisfactory out of an old building that was not properly built, but the civic hospital is no ordinary botch.1t cost some thirty- eight thousand dollars in the first place, yet it seems to have been built with odds and ends of lumber and old brick.Foundations are conspicuous by their absence.In 1895 the building had become uninhabitable, and workmen were put at work to repair it.Just who gave the order no one ever knew, but the city finally had to pay $12,672 for this job, plus $375 for the experts who decided that the account was all right.After less than five years, the building is again declared to be in the same condition, and we are starting on a job which will undoubtedly run up to the ten thousand mark.We are inclined to think that Ald.Roy was right in saying that if is throwing good money after bad.ere THF GUILTY PARTY.The New York Post, in discussing Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2019s first statement on the Alaskan boundary dispute, says: \u201cIt is evident that somebody has been misrepresenting.The guilty party to the boundary dispute is the one who refuses to submit it to unconditional arbitration.We have been led to suppose that Canada was that party.\u201d The Post, which from time to time expresses itself pretty vigorously concerning doings at Washington, will find much that is instructive in the published details of the negotiations before the Joint Commission.If will find from this oflicial account that the Canadians made no conditions except one or two that would have been fairly sure to result to the advantage of the Americans, whose occupation of parts of the disputed strip would give them under the preposals of the Canadian commissioners rights not derivable from the Anglo- Russian treaty of 1825.The American conunissioners proposed three or four conditions, one of which begged nearly the whole question.The Post should not have much difficulty in finding \u2018The guilty party.\u201d - .-.» \u2014 am GRAVENHURST\u2019S PERIL.The Town With the Big Sanitarium for Consumptives Takes Precautionary Measures, Toronto,June

They Acted as Part of An Attacking Force.\u2014 MADE GOOD SHOWING.Tho\u2019 Individuals Made a Good Many Mistakes During the Advance.\u2014\u2014 MOUNT ST, LOUIS \u2014{}rmnu CADETS The Victoria Rifles\u2019 passed their annual inspection on Saturday, and passed it very creditably.They introduced as part of the inspection pitching and striking of tents, and battalion in attack, two features of practical work which is the very best work which a battalion can do.This is the first time such an inspection has been passed, notwithstanding what a certain paper has said a year or two ago.The Scots had a little extended order work, but it was practically nothing to the full development of an attack such as was done at the Vics \u2019inspection.In devoting their time this yea: to extended order work the Victoria Rifles have given away a good part of their chance for holding the Sir Donald Smith cup.In this competition only five per cent.of the total points is given for this work.But in giving their time to practical work the Vies, whether they lose the cup or not, are sure to meet with the approval of the department and the public generally.The money which the public expend on military equipment is better spent when the militia do the kind of work | which fits them for active service.To come back to the inspection itself.The non-coms., who have been in camp on the exhibition grounds for a week, awaited the battalion at the camp.The remainder fell in at the armory and marched! up to the camp, where they formed up in line on the left of the camp company.In this way they received the inspecting officer, Lieut.-Col.Roy, with the general salute.The battalion, with the exception of the camp company, then advanced and retired in fours from the centre, and when near the line of camp wereb turned to the rear.This movement cleared the ground so that the crowd could see the striking of tents.To a military man this movement was more of an inspection than any march-past could be.It was not a battalion movement, and had never been done before.Yet when the commands were given the men acted smartly on the word of command, and did the movement well.Doing a movement which they had never seen before was a better test of efficiency than performing some cut and dried movement.Then the camp company struck tents.On the bugle sounding the call, all the tents went down together as if parts of one machine.\u2018Then came the struggle between tent squads for who would be the first to get their tents packed, and the honor fell to one tent of No.1 company.When this was complete the camp company fell in with their respective companies, and the battalion marched past in column.Owing to the rough nature of the ground this was not done as well as on the Champ de Mars.The usual routine of inspection was left out.Aftet the manual and firing, which were only fair, the battilion marched up Mount Royal Cemetery road, sending out No.1 company as an advance guard, and turned south along the side of the mountain.The Incline Railway station was the ob- Ject in point of attack.The regular battalion formation for attack was followed, ending in a bayonet charge.On the whole the attack was satisfactory The direction was fairly well perserved and that is one of the most important things in an attack.Other battalions Were supposed, of course, to be on the left and right and that the advantageous grcund outside of certain limits could not be used as it was supposed to be held dy flank battalions.But just as long as every man in the ranks is in command of his section, company or whole battalion and howls out the commands he considers should be given, but which the captain has thought not fit to give, so leng will any movement be performed in a ragged manner.And so on Saturday, while in general the attack was good it was marred by a constant talking in the ranks which caused inattention and a consequent hesitancy in obeying commands.This applies also to certain sec tion commanders.In the march past and in the marching in four a noticeable fault was the un- soldierly way a grea\u2019 Ynany anen carried their rifles.In the march past especially, every rifle is supposed to be horizontal, but, there were at about as many angles as it is possible to have wath that number of men.This is no doubt due to hurried recruiting, but it might be cbviated if, at \u20acach march out the section commanders corrected any fault in their direction.Possibly some of the section commanders are unable to do this As said, when taking everything into censideration, the Vies passed on Saturday one of the most creditable military evolu- ticns they have passed in years.The parade state was 343.MOUNT ST.LOUIS CADETS.The Mount St.Louis Cadets passed

Win Out.~ \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 NOT CHAMPIONSHIP LACROSSE.\u2014 The lacrosse season has fairly opened, and judging by the game played on the Shamrock grounds on Saturday afternoon there is every reason to believe that the long defeated and almost disheartened l'o- rontos will at least be near the top of the ladder\u2014ft is even betling that they will be the champions of the 1899 season.On Saturday they defeated the Shamrocks by seven goals to three.Admirers of the boys in green find some solace in the belief that it play had lasted a short time longer they would have pulled out of the hole; that the Toronto colts had lost their wind and were rapidly tiring.But this is poor consolation.The To- rontos did show signs of fatigue at the end of the match, but it must be remembered that they had been playing a rattling hard game from beginning to end, and, it is to be presumed, they had not prepared themselves for any greater length of time of play than the rules of the game, called for.The fact remains that they beat the Shamrocks fairly and squarely, leaving not a chance for explanation other than that they were the better team of the two.It was in many respects good lacrosse.Altogether free from that hafeful spite which frequently manifested itself in recent years, the match was as pretty an exhibition of the national game as we have seen for some seasons past.Tt cannot be denied, however, that it is not the same lacrosse as that which used to enthuse us to a degree that knew no bounds: it is not of th2 old-time Shamrock- Toronto, Montreal-Shamrock, Montreal- Toronto style of games which brought eight thousand people to their feet and forced wild hurrahs skywards; when Ross McKenzie, Coulson, Patterson, Schofield, Tckart, the Garvins, McNaughton, et al, used to play as though their Tives depended upon it.Not that they tried for each other\u2019s lives, as too often appears to be the case nowadays, but played because heart and soul were in the game.\u2019 Doubtless many of the players of the teams that form the sepior league of today are just as personally honestly interested in winning the matches they play, vet taking the season\u2019s struggles in their entirety they are not of the calibre of the early eighties.The personnel of the Shamrock team this year is not much changed.It still has such splendid players as Munn, Mec- Kenna, Hinton, Nolan, Dade and Tucker to depend upon as the foundation of home Perhaps it was because it was the first match of the season and their legs and arms were not yet limbered up; perhaps thev had underestimated their opponents and so were not ready for such a fast and often brillant game as the young Blues put up.There is a \u201cper- Laps\u201d comimg in somewhere, for certainly they were outplayed.They were not embarrassed by stage fright; they have faced thousands of enthusiasts too often to feel any bashfulness, and so size up the situation how you will, the conelu- sion cannot be but that they were beaten by better players\u2014at least better players for the day.Maybe we shall see a change that wil put ¢hem into championship form.It is to be hoped so, because Montreal has a warm spot in its great big heart for the boys who have so often brought the championship banner to its doers.The Toronto {eam must not get what is commonly termed a swelled Lead.The season is very young indeed, and old and strong opponents have yet to be met and defeated many times before the Queen City can lcok for an express parcel containing the coveted trophy.It is true, they gave the Nationals a walloping a week or two ago that must have taken | the shine out of last year\u2019s champions; it was the result of a quick.formidable attack that took the French-Canadians by surprise\u2014a surprise from which they never recovered.But it is just such attacks as these; just such generalship as that which Captain Knowles displayed that wins battles in every walk of life, and so they must be given all credit.Their chief stronghold is the excellent field, which on Saturday never lost an opportunity to feed the home and give Snell, Lillie and Peaker chances to score.The two Morans are a rare find.They are not of the class which anpeals to the Grand Stand by occasional brilliant play but rather with clock like regularity they do the work assigned them and have absolutely no room for fault finding.Allan\u2019s goal keeping has been a feature of the Torontos\u2019 game for several vears and it was fully wp to the standard on Saturday.When the rubber gets past Allan you may make tp vour mind that his opponents deserve the game.There was not a big crowd present, probably 1,500 in all, and it was not a very enthusiastic crowd.There was one thing about it it was fair and divided in its ap- phuse.Individual or team play on either side was rewarded but the handclappihe and shouts of applause were of a very mild character.Referee Cox had little to do.Tt reminded one of the old St.Gabriel davs tn see him flitting over the field.My.Cox very wisely sent Stmson to the fence for misbehaving himeelf.Stinson\u2019s temper got the best of him and he clearly forzot that lacrosse is a gentleman\u2019s game.When the teams went to their places they faced each other as follows: Toronto Goal.f Allan.\u2014À Wheeler, *

order.Whatever the final result mizht be there was a belief that Toronto would pass the rubber through first, and quite a fow bets were made accordingly.Cooper and the two Morans fed their home in an admirable manner.Stinson, and McKenna repeated- lv stopped the hot shots that were pour ed in by Snell, Lillie and Peaker.The doctor made some very strong attempts.Robertson cleared beautifully and the Shamrock home had an opportunity which they took advantage of.From the scuffle Tucker got the ball and it went through the goals amid considerable shouting.There was nothing of note happened in the second game until five and a half minutes had gone by.Lillie made a shot on the Shamrock goals and McKenna was away from them.The shot was weak and no one thought the ball would reach the pcles.But it did and it rolled through them, too.Both sides worked very hard in the third game and honors were quite easy all the way through.It was anybody\u2019s vie- tory until the actual scoring was done, as it finally was by Mciean.Snell and Lillie assisted and Quinn and Stinson resisted but the visitors got the best of it.So they did in the fourth game.Toronto was far the livelier of the two teams.They were.in fact, extremely fast and sel a pace that Shamrock could not follow.It was here that the Toronto\u2019s excellent home field got in its work and gave Peaker and Lillie every opportunity This made it three to one in fuvor of the blues.Then followed a three minute game during which the Shamrock \u2018home only once had a good chance to score.Tucker, Brennan and Henry tried hard but failed and Torontos\u2019 home men were again shooting hard on the flags.A shot from Pea- ker made the score four to one and the 6th game was hardly started when Snell made a hockey swipe which brought the score uj to 5 to 1 with the one on the Shamrocks\u2019 end.It took nine and a half minutes for Toronto to win the seventh game.Quinn was rather badly thurt by a cut on the head but he was soon allright.The hearts of the local men were nearly broken by this time but they went at it again in fairly good shape though the play was not good on either side.No- bcdy seems to know just how it happened but Dade gets the éredit for scoring the game for the Shamrocks.Tucker did a similar trick after half a minute's scuffle in the ninth.; It took seventeen long minutes to decide the tenth game.People were tired of the performance and many left for Lome.The Toromtds scored making it seven games to three in their favor.CAPITALS BEAT SHERBROOKE.Sherbrooke, «June 8.\u2014The first senior lacrosse match in Sherbrooke, between the Capitals, of Ottawa, and the home team, took place this afternoon, and was witnessed by a very large number of people, special trains having been run in from Co- aticooke and Richmond.The home men again suffered defeat.Both teams gave a fine exhibition of lacrosse, and although the visitors scored the first six games straight, they had not by any means the best of the play.Sherbrooke put up a desperate effort to hold the score down, but luek was against them.The visitors started out with the evident intention of doing the home boys up at the start by hard and sharp checking, and rough play was very much in evidence.Several of the local men were badly cut up in the first fifteen minutes, and Ralph, of the Capitals had to view the game from the fence for dirty play.Nineteen minutes and a half had elapsed before first blood was drawn, and that by Capitals.It was an easy one, too.Play during this game had to be suspended twice to allow Roberts and Hall of Sherbrooke, get their laces patched up as a result of scraps.| Beautiful lacrosse was engaged in by both teams on resuming, but the visitors seemed to be superior to the local mew in this respect.The second game was scored in seven minutes and a half.Sherbrooke had several tries, but they were met by a defence that seemed to be impregnable.The next four games were scored by Capitals in seven minutes.The home boys were standing the hard usage well and started out in ibe seventh with their old-time vigor, while the hard play which Capitals had indulged in at the start was beginning to tell on them.Sherbrooke kept the sphere pretty well around their opponent\u2019s goal, and Witty landed a beauty after eleven minutes\u2019 hard play.This semed to arouse the boys, and they settled down and kept the visitors pretty much on the defence, and they succeeded in scoring two other goals in nineteen m:in- utes.The tenth game was started with only one minute to play, but no more goals were scored, and Sherbrooke was agam turned down by 6 to 3.The visitors were a strong combination, and had not a weak spot.They indulged, as stated, in rather rough play, and as a consequence four of their men were ruied off at various periods.Two of the Sherbrooke men were also sent to the fence as a result of a set-to.At on time it looked as if there would be a free fight hetween the spectators and the visitors, and play was suspended until the mix-un was cleared.Mr.J.Reddy made an efficient referee, and his actions were thoroughly endorsed by the spectators.The

CANOEING.PROPOSED CANADIAN ASSOCIATION A committee meeting of the Lachine Boat Club took place at the club house last Monday evening, and after discussing a few minor matters pertaining to the business of the club, the election of new members was proceeded with, when the following new members were elected: A.y.Paxton, J.G.Young, \u2014.Blinkhorn, H.J.Chard.A communication from the Ottawa Canoe Club relative to the formation of a Canadian Canoe Association on the lines of the American Canoe Association was discussed at some length.It has long been felt that the cost of transportation and general expenses connected with the attendance of the A.C.A.meet on the part of Canadian paddlers has presented them from making as good a show Ing as they might otherwise have done had the place of the meet not been so far removed from the Canadian paddiing centres.It was decided to appoint Messre.Baby and Bickerdike delegates to the meeting of the warious canoe clubs to be held shortly in Montreal, and instructions were given these gentlemen to endeavor fo obtain for Lachine the honor of the first meet of the new association.\u2014\u2014e\u2014 2\" FOOTBALL.FINCH AND first point might be accepted by both parties and that the fifty Years valid title clause may be made the ase of negotiations in which erase they would rractically proceed on the Venezuela lines, New York, June 4.\u2014The London correspondent of the Tribune savs: \u201cThere has been a further exchange of views between Lord Salisbury and the American limbassy, without decisive result.The Ænglish press has little to say about the Anglo-American negotiations.There is no denial of the essential fact that Canada prevented the settlement of the Alaska trentier, when both the Foreign Office and the State Department were on the pomt of azrerinr on terms of arbitration.The pretext on which this interference was based is purely artificial, since the American title to Dyea and Skaz- way has never Teen questioned whereas Pyramid Harbor has never been claimed by Canada until recently, and never occupied at any time.While the situation has not been changed Dy any negotiations ecnducted this week, it cannot be doubted that public opinion would welcome a sel- tlement which would relieve British di- rloinacy from the reproach of being entirely at the mercy of Canadian pique and caprice in Anglo-American affairs.\u201d What London Says.London, June 4\u2014The Marquis of Salis- tury\u2019s handling of the British end of the negotiations of the Anglo-American Commission 1s regarded with confidence nol cnly by his supporters, but by his political opponents, and there is reason to believe that in informal communications with the leaders of the Opposition, the Government was able to assure themselves of the sympathy of the Liberals in a coming arrangement satisfactory both to the United States and Great Britain.À representative of the Associated Press had a taik with Herbert

adjusted without the sem- United States.He said: \u201cThey consider Lord Naiisbury is conducting the negotiations tactfully.1 am not sure our Canadian brethren have approached the question with the calmness of the United Slates.The feeling on oar side of the House of Commons undoubtedly is that the question is in capable hands, that no impediment will be raised by Lord Sal- shury, and that a via media will be fcund.The difficulty is the tendency which is beginning to assert itself both m Canada and the United States to restrict the area open to compromise, which mereases the ditliculties of dixiymacy.1 save nothing but praise for the spirit which the Washmgton authorities have shown throughout, while the Canadians nave shown à tremendous ténacity, which, However, is necessary in dealing

this city, and would benefit the small, insignificant, short-time.in-business, low-price bakers, who have had the audacity to sell bread at a reasonable price, to the detriment of the oid-estah- lished bakers.As I have not advocated a fivemound loaf, our friend \u201cOnlooker's\u201d quotation on that is superfluous, but 1 do advocate some standard by which all bread shall be sold, no matter what the quality.The question of selling three or jour ounce rolls by weight is an imagination of our friend's; no one has suggested anything of the kind, but the larger rolls could, and should, be sold by weight.From the great interest taken by \u201cOnlooker\u201d in this question, I presume he is one of the old-established bakers, who a few years ago were charging the people cg this city from 18 cents to 22 cents for the six-pound loaf.until myself and many others, threatened to start a co-operative bakery, with the result, that the balers discovered they could reduce the price of HOME EVI

Afternoon.\u2014 HAPPENED AT RACE COURSE The League of Patriots Are Supposed to be at the Bottom of the Trouble.re een MANY ASSAULTERS ARRESTED.a Paris, June 4\u2014Prasident Loubet, accompanied by the l'remier, M.Dupuy, and the chieË of the military household, Gen.M.(.Bailloud, drove to the Auteuil races this afternoon, closely followed by Mme.Loubet in a second landau.As they drove along the Avenue des Champs Elysee, the crowd bowed respectfully, but on arriving at Auteuil, they were met by violent demonstration, evidently organized, and directed against the President.There was a storm of hooks, yells and cries of \u201cPanama,\u201d \u201cA bas Loubet,\u201d and \u201cVive 'armee.\u201d À few shouts of \u2018Vive Loubet\u201d were drowned in the clamor.À strong force of police kept order and arregÿed many of the distuibers, including a man who tried to force his way to the IPresi- dent's carriage.During the second race the clamor increased in violence and was plainly directed by a committee of the League of Patriots, colleated with their supperters both before and behind the Presidential stand, around which a form'd- able affray proceeded.During the grand steeplechase many blows were struck and reveral policemen were injured in their endeavors to prevent an invasion of ile Presidential stand.At the crisis of the excitement, while shouts of \u201cVive l\u2019armee\u201d and \u201cVive Deroulede,\u201d were heard on all sides, Count Christ\u2019ani rushed towards the President, brandishing a stick, and directed a blow against him, striking his hat.The crewd rushed upon Christiani, who only escap:d severe handling by being taken under police proteution.President Loubet remained all the while quite unmoved, talking to the Premicr, while the officers of his military houschold were defending him against violence.d'inally, after thirty arrests had been made, the prefect of police ordered the Repubhcan Guards to surround the Presidential stand.The principal leaders of the demonstration were (M.Joseph Lasies, anti- Semite and Nationalist, deputy for Gers, and M.Firmin Faure, anti Semite and Nationalist, deputy for Oram, Algeria.Police Inspeator Grilliere had his head seriously wounded in the melee, and President Loa- bet has since decorated him with the Cross of the Legion of Honor, in recognition of his devotion to duty.On returning to the Elysee Palace, M.Loubet received many sympathizing callers.Demonstration Was Organized.It seems certain that the demonstration was organized by \u2018the Jeunesse Royalists, the Ligue des Patriotes, and the Anti- Semites, the rallying sign being a carnation in the buttonhole, Count Christiani 1s a member of the Steeplechuse Society, a very select body, and his conduct has produced the greatest indignation.The whole Tacecourse, particularly the enclo- | sure, witnessed scenes of the wildest -ex- citement.Comtesse Boni de Castellune who was Miss Anna Gould, of New York, city, placed herself at the head of the Jeunesse Royaliste and marched up and down the lawn, shouting \u201cVive I'armee,\u201d Cemte Boni de Castellane and his brother Jean were arrested, but soon liberat- eu.Comte de Dion, when arrested, resisted and fought with his cane, smashing It on a policeman\u2019s head and causing the jewelled top to fly off, striking a journaliste was detained in custody.Altogether about 130 arrests were made, one being tliat of M.Dansette, deputy mayor of Armentieres.Demonstrations and count- er-demonstrations continued until M.Lon- bet left the racecourse at 4.20 p.m., the arrival of his carriage being the signal for | an indescribable tumult.The mounted guards with difliculty opened a passare through the crowd, the president being pursued to the last with hoots and yells.Even eggs were thrown.lt was noteworthy, however, that the people general- Iv cheered him, loudly, the cheers increas: | ing as he drove towards the Elysee, which | he reached safely at 4.45 p.m.During the Demonstration a number of hats labelled \u201cResignation\u201d were picked up.Comte Christian was thrown, trampled upon and severely bruised 11 the melee.He is a grandson of a gemeral who was well known during the Empire.It seems it was intended to give the | Marchand mission a biz ovation.The | Government got wind of the affair, and kept Marchand ous of the way, althouxh | Captain Baratiere and lhe other members | of the expedition were there.The }erou- ! ledists balked of their opportunity, evident- | ly vented their spite upon the President.! The racecourse committee anolozized to M.Loubet, who replied that he could not think of holding them responsible.He remarked to an important personave that ; he did not intend being intimidated into resignation.During the demonstration | M.Rochefort, editer of Intransigeant, was seen, and an attempt was made to.induce him to lead the manifestation, but he discreetly slipped away.A special cabinet conneil wus summoned at nine o'clock this evening to consider ' the situation; and important measures were concerted to he submitted to the President at another council to-morrow for the preservation of order.The ministers, who were in session until eleven o\u2019clock, maintain strict zeserve as to the nature of these measures.but a semi-ofli- : cial note bas Deen issued which says: \u201cThe Government will act with the great- | est energy, and will impose respect for the President and for the state.\u201d It is reported that a number of fresh arrests will be made to-morrow morning.The events of the day will lead to an important discussion in the Chamber of Dopu- ties, where the Government will demand a vote of confidence.There is some fear of a renewal of the disturbances, although the police precautions are of the most thorough character: and, at at late hour this evening.more or less excitement is still observable on tle | | | | | carried away imeensible, and now lies in a dangerous condition.It is asserted that the President's hat was pressed down over his face by Christigni's stick and that the occupants of the carriaze were hit with ezzs while returning to the Elysee.fence THE SECOND TRIAL.\u2014\u2014_\u2014 Decision Well Received in Paris-Zola Will Soon Return.Paris, June 3.\u2014When the doors of the Court of Cassation were opened an int mense crowd ot people attempted to rush through the entrance, and tor a time there was great confusion and uproar.I'he session opened at 3 o'clock, when the president of the court, M.Mazu, atter reminding the audience that all demonstrations were interdicted, gave judgment in the following tenor: rhe Court after hearing the report of the premier president of the civil chamber, the prosecutor-gen- eral's finding, and the application of Mai- tre Mornard (counsel for Madame Dreyfus), to the effect that a revision of judg- nent can be demanded when new facts are produced or unknown documents showing the innocence of the cordemned, and in view of the preserrtation to the court martial of a secret dogument bearing \u2018he words, \u201cLe Canaille de D,\u201d which was eap- able of influencing their minds.and which is not now regarded as applicable to Dreyfus, constitves a new fact calevdated to establish the innocence of Dreyfus; and seeing that two authenticated letters, written on the identical paper, da con- temporaneouglv with the bordereau, were discovered in the house of Esterhazy, the writing upon which experts have declared to be the same as that of the bordereau, which facts are unknown to the court martial, and tend to establish the innocence of Dreyfus: and seeing that the alleced confessions of Dreyfus to Captain Le Brun Renaud are disproved\u2014in view of those arguments and without submitting others, the court quashes and annuls the verdict of condemnation of December, 1894, avainst Alfred Drevfus, by the first court martial of the military government of Paris and sends the accused before a court martial at Rennes, to be specially appointed tc conduct the new trial.This judgment is to be printed and transcribed on the docket of the first court martial, alongside the decision which is annulled.The court then adjourned.; Premier Dupuy has summoned the ministers of the Interior, Justice, War and Navy and the Colonies to meet to-morrow morning in order to confer unon the measures to be taken to bring Dreyfus back to France.Decision Well Received.Paris, June 4.\u2014Jt is rumored that the Government will ask the postponement until Friday of all interpellations in the Chamber of Deputies on the Dreyfus case in order to allow the ministry to deliberate on its course of action.Mme.Dreyfus is overjoyed at the deci sion of the Court of Cassation.She has received messages of congratulation from all parts of the country and abroad.Of the forty-seven daily newspapers which appear to-day in Paris, only six oppose revision.The consensus of the press and conversations with representative men like Ribot, Rouvier, Jules Roche, Hebrard.| Waldeck-Rousseau, Tirman, the Due D'Audifret, and Pacquier prove that the nuhlie mind is prepared for the return to France and re-trial of Drevfus.Even De- roulede is reported to be open to doubt.Emile Drumont, Lucien Millevoye, and Henri Rochefort still continue to launch broadsides of invective against President Loubet, and against the \u201csyndicate of Jews and foreigners who are compassing the ruin of Trance.\u201d An amusing incident is reported by a Paris paper, illustrating the struezle between the Militarists and Anti-Militar- ists.A little boy, five or six years old, accompanied by a nurse maid.was walking en the Boulevard de Clichy.dressed in the sky-blue uniform of the Hussars.Four dirty street arabs, meeting him, cried, \u201cAh, a forger.Are you to be transported?Assassin, when shall you be shot General?\u201d The boy and the nurse girl were res- cred by the police from their tormentors.A more serious incident occurred at Perpignan, where the public hissed and hcoted a military band.Similar disagreeable incidents have occurred at Marseilles, Grenoble and Amiens.Zola Talks.London, June 3.\u2014A representative of the Associated Press secured a brief interview with M.Kmile Zola, who 1s now living in strict retirement near the Crystal Palace, but who proposes to return to l'aris early next week.A.Zola was naturally overjoyed at the outcome of the Dreyfus revision proceedings and in the course of the interview said: \u201cI knew the light was finally bound to break through the mass of falsehood, calumny and forgery and that Dreyfus would be restored to liberty and honor and myself no longer forced to live in exile.\u201d Ile was greatly pleased at the prospect of a speedy return to France and declared he felt assured all would acknow- lcdge that his actions were justified by events.\u201cArmed with the truth,\u201d said M.Zola \u201cI knew all must come right.\u201d Paris, June 4\u2014M.Emile Zola, who has returned to Paris, has written asking the public prosecutor to send to his residence a notification of the sentence which the Versailles court passed upon him in the libel action growing out of the charges he brought against- the oificers who conducted the listerhazy court-martial.The Return of Dreyfus.Paris, June 4.\u2014The cabinet council this morning decided that the French second- class cruiser Sifax, now at Fort de France, Martinique, should proceed immediately and bring Dreyfus from the Isle of Devils to France.\u2018he cruiser 15 Expected to arrive at Brest about June 26, when Dreyfus will be handed to the military authorities and lodged in the military prison at Rennes.His conviction having \u2018been annulled by the united chambers of the Court of Cassation, his military rank and title are restored to him.He will occupy an oflicer\u2019s cabin on board the Sfax and will be allowed on deck from one to four o'cicek every afternoon.The decree of the court was communicated to Madame Dreyfus at the house of M.Hadamard, her father.She immediately sent the fol- lcwing despatch to her husband: \u201cThe Court of Cassation proclaims revision, with a new trial by court-martial.Our hearts and thoughts are with you.Let us share your immense happiness.Tenderest kisses from all.\u201d \u2018The Figaro says that throughout the day congratulatory telegrams have been ficwing in upon \u2018Madame Dreyfus, M.Mathieu Ureytus and Maitre Menard, treir counsel.Lieut.-Col.Picquart, on being intormed of the court's decision, said: \u201cThere is nothing better to be hoped for.\u201d a \u2014_ A Spring Song.What magic do the days impart When green buds first begin to swell!

The days of the honeymoon are often the sirange-t and hardest time of the married lite.Nit because lowes grow cold, or be- \u201c cause \\nfimaæcy brings disappoimntment, but because it is the nature of things to seem a litile flat, when all the excitement of waiting and striving is ower, and there is \u201c nothing to look forward to, nothing leit to struggle for.But 1£ these first days are hard to live through, it must rever be forgotten that they set the standamd for alk future of the vie-a-deux, and that what ome hopes for, dreams of.plans for, in the honeymoon : is generally the best of what the outlook upon life is to be.Yet, if fate is kind to the young people, if they live long enough, they will grow eld together, and thus \u201ccome to a time when a second honeymoon Js theirs\u2014and they will find it a better one, with few of .the drawbacks of'the first.\"their children are married, and when or gone, in some fashion, to take a place in the busy Before old age bas come, .world, and not one necd stay behind be- : couse the parents are feeble or in want \"of daily care, then there are still years «f their honeymoon tlmt any one might £nvy.Once more the couple are alone, and all in all to each other\u2014the world forgetting and by the world forgot.If the honeymoon has lost the charm of novelty which the first possessed, it has gained immensely in the joy which springs {from long sympathy an: fellowship.Kome one has said that it is always more delightful to say,,\u201cdo you remember,\u201d than, \u2018do yon know,\u201d and this well ex- ; presses the happiness of the second honeymoon.Characters are known, dangzets to the common peace have long been overcome, virtues have been tested und strengthened \u201can the years which were so busy with the rearing of and the caring for the children \u2014in which the day's work has been done, and honor kept bright.Even the sorrows amd trials that have come, as they must, have in the enl proved bonds of union, and some of the most cherished memories which neither would willingly part with are of the help and consolation which suffering made necessary from one to the other.The same cares and ordeals now are met with a mn- tual understanding and trust which robs them of most of their sting.Why is it, then, that poets sing only Enithalamiums and the world looks with indulgence\u2014if not with envy\u2014only on the first honeymoon, for it 1s true that the sec- end has not found many to celebrate its 3fvs in verse or hike, and here are few poems devoted to the old age of married Ufe\u2014John Anderson, my Joe, John, being, perhaps, king of them all.) It may be because the conditions are too sacred for words\u2014for when husband and wife find themselves alone and at lei- gure to think only.or most, of each other to have in common many active interests outside of their cherished privacy safely guarded for each other, when they lave acquired the ripe experience and broad charity which was lacking to the fiat boneymoon, and join all these things to the love which has only changed to strengthen, they have come into a state of happiness which has no poet and needs none, for its pleasures are bevond his song.+ ire HERE AND THERE.Said an
