The bleus pretend that they received from heaven the divine art of Government, that they have the science of Government in- \u2018used into them.I have always said that if we could not govern better than they did, it was pot worth while making any change.I boasted during the last general election campaign that if we were given power, in six months we would do what they had not been able to do in six years.THE REMEDIAL BILL.\u201cYou know that in 1806 there was an trritating question which disturbed the whole country.It was a question in which religion mixed with politics.It was a question the solution of which called for the highest qualities of statesmanship.The late Government pretended to have settled that question by introducing a measure which they called a remedial bill, but which had nothing of a remedial charae- ter about it.It was, on the other hand, calculated to irritate the people of a sister province.The measure failed to pass, and we were returned to power.We had promised to settle the question in six months.You are witness that that pro mise was literaly fulfilled, NO LONGER EXISTS, \u201c\u201cThe school question no longer exists, though our friends the bleus try to re vive it.Every time they open their mouths it is to attack our school policy, SROPODDDDDD DP TODS OVO © © \u2018Let us all, English and French but © Canadians ever, let us stand by the @ rights of the minorities everywhere.\u201d 000000000000 900060000008 when therd is no one present to reply to them: but they dare not open thelr mouths to attack it when anyone is present to defend it.They have spoken of It at their meetings at Beauharnois and elsewhere, but not one of them has dared to raise the question on the floor of the House of Commons.MORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS, \u2018There are more serious problems which confronted the Government on its arrival to power.We had to develop the country.That was a practical problem; it was not a theoretical question.We haa to bring the counfry up to the stage of development which it has reached to-day, and to that condition of prosperity which not only keeps our own people in the country, but attracts immigration to the Northwest and other now unsettled portions of Canada.We have effected various reforms, and among others one which the County of Drummond in particular should appreciate.We have extended the Inter.coloniel Railway to Montreal, and we effected that by purchasing the Drum- mond County Railway, which was created by the genius of one of your fel- OOS © + tA.siti.cl, low-citizens, Mr.Mitchell.(Cheers) We solved the Crow's Nest Pass difliculty, and thus provided facilities for the development of the great mineral regions of the far West.We have developed the dairy industry and arranged for the proper transportation of Lutter and: cheese in cold storage to the English market, In fact we have caused progress in every branch of trade and Industry, and achieved more than had been achleved in the past thirty STEEL ICICID OG GCOOTLOOCOOD v \u201cThe past is past: $ = there may be » © French Canadians and English Cana- © © dians, but above all, we are Cana- © ®© dians, and Canadians only.\u201d e HHHH6S0000 04 90000H0-0000$ years.There is more prosperity, there Is more trade, there is more Industry, there is more activity in Canada to-day than there has been in any other epocn of its history.In face of that resuit, bave we not reason to rejoice?TYPICAL OF THE COUNTRY.\u201cI am glad for my part to be with you this evening to say that i regard the County of Drummond as an image of the country in general.I see all about me men of two races, of two religions, So it is throughout the country.Providence has not assembled us in this part of the world to be enemies to each other.Providence has placed us here together that we may walk hand in haud in the path of progress.The past is past; there may be French Canadians and English Canadians, but above all we are Canadians, and Canadians only.The fights of the past are over.You have here among you men of all nationalities: I have known the days when disputes based on differences of race and religion were frequent.I have known them in the counties of Drummond and Arthabaska, but I am glad for my part to have veen able to contribute, or at least to have tried to con:ri- bute, to a new era.BANISH RACE DIFFERENCES.\u201cI have done my best to banish differences of race; I have trled to banish re- leigious animosities; I have done my best to establish an era of peace and harmony.That is the gospel I preach here, and everywhere, whether in the province of Quebec or In the province of Ontario.I am not the Ptime Minister of Quebee; I am the Prime Minister of Canada altogether.If 1 have a preference it is certainly for my own race and my own blood \u2014(oud cheers)\u2014and I have no hesitation In saying so, nor have I any hesitation, on the other hand, in saying that the rights of the other races In Canada are as dear to me as those of my own people.I shall defend them with as much vigor.I shall defend them with as much respect.I shall defend them with as much enthusiasm, as I would the rights gf my own people, just as if our rights were menaced I would appeal to our English brethren for justice, for we are brothers after all.There is a common sentiment in the hearts of men, a sentiment of justice, a sentiment of forbearance to the weak, a sentiment of respect for all creeds.That is the sentiment which predominates in the Liberal party\u2014(cheers)\u2014 and will predominate when Canada becomes a nation, as ft will become I have no doubt; or rather as it is already, for you have made immense progress in the opinion of the world.Three years ago Canada was a conglomeration of scattered colonies; but to-day she exists in the eyes of the civilized world as a distinct and united natlon.\u201d A Voice\u2014\u201cThanks to you.\u201d ON JUST PRINCIPLES.Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2014*\u2018If we are to become stronger still, we must found our nation on the principles I have laid down \u2014equal rights, equal justice for all.I do not desire thal you should sacrifice any of 3000000000000 906000000000 \u201cI see all about me men of two races, of two religions.So it is \u2018throughout the country.Providence has not assembled us in this part of the world to be enemies to each other.Providence has placed us here together that we may walk hand in band in the path of progress.\u201d PHGHÈSÉTHOHS © © V'OHHHHHHHH the souvenirs that you cherish.I am satis- ficd that the English, Scotch, Irish and French should preserve their history and souvenirs, but I desire that we should live not only for the past, but for the future, and if we are proud of the memory of the great deeds of our fathers, let us act so that our children mdy be proud of our achievements.In any case, gentlemen, that is the programme I have traced.That Is the programme I follow, and with your support I hope it will be carried out.I hope more.1 am confident that on the 23rd of June, 1896, a new day dawned in the history of Canada, a new day, which marked the disappearance forever of the old dissensions, and saw the new sun arise that shines on us to-day.Gentlemen, it was you who opejied the doors of political life to me.I sev old friends around me.I recall my first contest, and know it is to them I owe my earliest success, circun.stances have separated me from you.I do not blame anybody, but the county is still dear to me, and my residence is still among you.The time may come when I shall return to private life, and then I would gladly seek a refuge among my fel.low-citizens of Drummond and Arthabaska.(Loud cheers.) SPEAKS IN ENGLISH, : PAOD OODOC OCOD OOE OE The chairman was \u2018about to call for the next speaker when a gentleman asked that Sir Wilfrid say a few words in English.Sir Wilfrid spoke in that

it is not that you do not understand French, you know it perfectly well, but you wish to hear your own language, and it is perfectly natural and legitimate that you should.But I would remind my

Refuses to Allow His Secretary to Show the Minutes.Who comes under the code, Is what people want to know since the publication of the remarks made by Judge Choquet in the Tremblay case, referring to a liability incurred under the criminal code by those who were partles to administering the oath required of constables.Section 1337 of the code, referred to by Judge Choquet, reads thus: \u201cEvery justice of the peace or other person who administers, or causes or allows to be administered, or receives or causes or allows to be received any oath touching any matter or thing whercof such justice or other person has not jurisdiction or cognizance, by some law in force at the time being, or authorized or required by any such law, is guilty of an indictable offcnce and liable to a fine not exceading fifty dollars, or to imprisonment for any tern not exceeding three months.\u201d Mr.DeMontigny, who administered the oath in the Tremblay case, is dead and out of reach of the \u2018even-handed justice\u2019 polt- cy if it should ever be enforced, and the new Recorders have only taken a few of the declarations and these only as a part of the work of getting settled in their now positions.But a close reading of the clause reveals that there is a liability on the part of those who authorized and required the oath and caused it to be taken.The chief point of interest is the position of Colonel Hughes, Chief of Police, fin the matter.A week ago, when The Herald was Investigating the question of whether there was authority for demanding that the oath be exacted of candidates for tne force, it was stated that Chief Hughes had gone to several New York cities, and had brought back from New York the schedule now in use and had himself incorporated in the regulations.thus causing the oath to be taken.Asked about this Col.Hughes sald the scheme had received the authorization of his commit- WAR CLOUDS AGAIN.MULES BOUGHT \u2014\u2014\u2014 Transvaal

Sept.26\u2014(Special.)\u2014Sir John Bourinot, clerk of the House of Commons and the eminen authority upon the procedure of public bodies, was called upon by The Herald correspondent at noon to-day

Has been brought forward in strict accordance with the rules of order governing the Council, but which the Mayor thinks infringes some outside law or exreeds the powers of the council to pass; or where a majority of council is of a mind to pass a resolution regularly before it, can the presiding officer step in and say \u2018I think there is a risk of its being illegal and therefore 1 strike

the Mayor having legal authority to stop the progress of a resolution he should be in the position to state his opinion, as on the advice of the legal counsel of the corporation, and not to be influenced by a mere vague opinion of his own.Under the common law of Parliament and publie bodies generally the presiding officer de-: cides questions of order and procedure, and not of law.That is a

follows: \u201cI am consoled for the unfavorahle weather hecause I have seen what bad roads vou have got (laughter, and how much you need a railway In the County of Lothiniere.(Cheers.) I am not making any promise now, the thing has already been done.Last session we voted a suhsidy for the Sorth Shore Railway.as there is n North Shore Railwar.Mr.Beauchemin, the president.Is at work.and already a hundred men are engaged at Sorel, (Fresh cheers.) INCREASE OF TRADE.\u201cLowering the tariff, we have increasad the trade of the country.You have often In ihe past heard people say money 1s scarce, but you hear that no longer.During eighteen years of Conservative administration the trade of the country Increased ninety-three millions.In three years of Liberal administration It iu creased ninety-five millions.That has been brought about by our reducing the tariff and facilitating exchange.3} spoke of lowering the tariff.We have reduced the duties on English goods by twenty- five per ceut.Why have we done so?It is because England buys more of our products than any country in the woria.By reducing the duties on English goods we have led Ingland to purchase more ot our products, Since we introduced the preferential system England has been purchasing more of our products than she had ever done.ONE OTHER REASON.\u201cThere is another reason why we reduced the tariif on goods from the Mother Country, and 1 am happy to state it before French-Canadians like you.England has treated us well during the last fifty years.I do not conceal the fact that I love EEng- land, I love France, the country of my ancestors, but 1 claim no merit in that; it is but natural.But if it is natural to love one\u2019s country, I also belong to a race that never forgets a benefit and that can retarn kindness for kindness.It England has treated, and treats, us well, thin It 18 our duty to be loyal and faithful subjects, That is not all, gentlemen.Al- lusiou has been made just now to what my Government has done.Reference was made to the Manitoba school question.That question exists no longer in the Province of Quebec.It should never have existed here, and we have relegated it to the Frovince of Manitoba, and what have we done?We have simply appealed to the equity and justice of Manitoba.That appeal has been heard, and if the rights which existed not in 1896 for the Catholics of Manitoba exist to-day, it is due to our efforts.MUCH YET TO DO.\u201cWe are at the commencement of our work.We have much yet to do.We have to complete the canals we have undertaken and the railways.We have undertaken this, and in order to at- taiu that end we must have peace, union and concord among all the elements of this nation.I am like you, a French-Canadian, but I repeat here, on the soil of my native Province, that I am not Prime Minister of Quebec only.1 am the Prime Minister of Canada.The rights of my compatriots are dear to me, no doubt, but the rights of the other nationalities are equally dear.The gospel 1 preach is that all be placed upon the same footing, that there be equality among all, and that we be Canadians above everything.I Have no more to add but to reply to the address you have Deen good enough to present to me.I wish I deserved all that has been said in jt.\u201d Sir Wilfrid concluded by urging his hearers to work loyally together for Mr.Boisseau.The Hon.Mr.Dechene, Provinelal Min- {ster of Agriculture, delivered an exhaustive review of the provincial situation, exposing the insincerity of the criticism which declared the Marchand Government too economical and the Laurier Government not economical enough, He pointed to the real reforms that the Hon.M-.Marchand had effectod, particularly in education, Other speakers were the Hon.Charles Langelier and Messrs, Boisvert, Bourassa, M.P., Talbot, M.P., Robitaille, M.P.P., Stensen, M.P., and others.A STABBING AFFRAY Patrick Dootan a Laborer Now Laid in Hospital, James Brown Alleged to Have Used a Razor in a Quarrel at Wissman\u2019s Hotel Last Night.Cries of \u201cMurder\u201d and \u201cPolice\u201d collected 2 crowd of several hundred people near Wiseman\u2019s saloon, on St.James Street, about half-past eleven o'clock last night, where a stabbing affray took place.Patrick Doolan,a laborer, employed by the C.P.R., the victim of the stabbing, now fies at the General Hospital with a cut across his forehead and several gashes in the face.Detectives Cote and Richard and Constable Choufn, of No.6 police station, answered the .cries of police, and arrested a man named Leroy, and James Brown, of Latour Street, after an exciting chase.Brown ran away as the police officers approached, but Constable Chouin gave chase up St.Genevieve Street and along Latour Brown, seeing that the constable was gain ing on him, is alleged to have attempted to slash him with a razor.The policeman drew his revolver and fired, and finally cap- turcd his man on Lagauchetiere St.Brown and Leroy were locked up in No.6 police station.Just héw the affray started is not known.Doolan and a number of friends were in Wiseman's saloon.They were quietly chatting together when James Brown and Leroy entered, and it appears a quarrel began.In the course of the fight Brown, it is alleged, drew a razor and slashed Doolan ahout the head.When arrested Brown had thrown the razor away, but Captain Charbonneau and Constable Chonin, with the aid of a lantern, found It later on Latour Street.Doolan\u2019s wounds are not, considered dangerous.TO SEE NO MANŒUVRES.Marquis de Gallifet Instructs all French Officers to Keep at a Safe Distance From Foreign Armies.Paris, Sept.26\u2014The Minister of War, General de Gallifet, has sent a circular to the commanders of all army corps, forbid- Ging all officers fravelling in Germany.Italy and Austria to attend the manoeuvres of the troops or to go to the grounds where the manoeuvres are being held without the consent of the authorities of the respective countries.At the same time It 1s distinctly stated that no army officer of any of the countries referred to will be allowed to witness the French manoeuvres.teeter WARMER AND WET.Montreal, Sept.27, 1899.Readings by Hearn & Harrison's standard barometer at noon yesterday, 29.73;

26.\u2014(Special.)\u2014 A large an enthusiastic meeting was held recently in the Town Hall here, for the purpose of discussing the proposed by-law to take over the electric light plant and Inaugurate municipal electric lighting in this town.Mayor Drynan opened the meeting by a short speech explaining why the meeting had been called and said that the matter had been under discussion for some time, and that Council had been approached several times, in reference to the matter and as a result the Council had decided to test the feeling of the ratepayers who were now in a position to control or not the electric lighting of Almonte.Mr.Bennett Rosamond, M.I\u2019., chairman of the meeting, then called Mr.Parke, engineer of Toronto.Mr.FParke said he came wholly independent, that he represented no company of any kind, and was therefore in a position to give a fair, and impartial statement on the matter.He believed that a new plant including water power and equipment could be installed for ghout $23,000.He also quoted figures and gave estimates to show that cheaper light rould be furnished the town, than that pow given by the present electric com- any.pans DEFENDS LOCAL COMPANY.Mr.M.Patterson, roplied in favor of the local company.and stated that the price of electric lighting in Almonte was as cheap as could be done by any one else.Under the circumstances, if they could get a new contract for a number of years they would put in new machinery and would reduce the price of light if they could depend on the support of the people.They had already made considerable reduction in the price of light during the past and would still further reduce it on and after October 1, next.He showed that it was impossible for municipal ownership to he a success as it could not be run with the same degree of cconomy as a private company and he said his contention was borne out by the rates charged in places where municipal ownership prevailed.IN LIKE STRAIN.Mr.W.Shaw, foilowed and showed that the present company were charging a reasonable rate.and that it would be unwise to pass the by-law and let the town in for something that was largely experiment.Mr.B.Rosamond.M.I\"., followed, extorting his hearers to vote against the by-law, \u201cFor,\u201d said Mr.Rosamond, \u201cthere are other affairs, that need our attention and money.\u201d and he spoke strongly in favor of leaving matters as they were.Mr.BE.W.Smith took the platform, and spoke strongly in favor of the by-law.He was followed by Mr.Jas.Simpson.who in an cloquent speech, strongly put forth the claims of the present company.He review- cd the negotiations between the Council and company.and stated that the by-law was prepared and \u2018submitted because no satisfactory arrangements could he made with the company.And he had nn doubt but that the present agitation would result in reduced rates being given the town.The meeting lasted without interruption until midnight.On the vote which was taken on Monday, the proposed by-law was defeated by a majority of 38.[I THROUGR SAULT CANAL, Statistics Regarding Shipments This Year and Last\u2014Navigation Late in

Mr, A.S Baker, of Southampton, Bng., Who Has Come Over to Work Up Trade, Thinks U, 8.Will Take England's Business.Mr.A.S.Baker, Managing Director of the Southampton (England) Cold Storage and Lairage Co., is in the city, investigating into the possibilities of creating a trade in Canadian products via Southampton, where his company 18 erecting what will be the largest cold storage warehouse in Great Britain.It will have more than two million cubic feet of storage space, and in conjunction, will possess ten acres cf land to be devoted to storing and slaughtering cattle.The regulation that all imported cattle must be killed within ten days of landing, is often the cause of serious logs to cattle owners, owing to the necessity of disposing of the meat immediately, no matter how depressed the market may be.It is the belief of Mr.Baker's company that cold storage will give the looked- tor relief to cattle owners, by enabling them to hold meat until the market is satisfactory, and for this trade ample facilities are being provided in the new warehouse.On account of the comparatively small number of live cattle being shipped from Canada, Mr.Baker is of opinion that it will not be presently pcssible to secure business from this country for his warehouse.The butter, cheese and poultry trade has cut deep channels in other directions, but Mr.Eaker firmly believes that Scuthampton must in time become the great seaport for the importation of food products into Great Britain.There's a difference, he says, of ten shillings per ton in favor of Southampton freight rates between London and Liverpool, and London and Southampton.London is the great consuming centre of England, and the cheapest route to it is certainly ultimately to contract the trade.The cockneys, Mr.Baker says, eat more meat than any other community in the world, and London offers an almost endless market for all Canadian food products.WHY CANADIANS GET MORE MONEY.Mr.Baker makes a statement of peculiar interest to Canadians, in referring to the butter trade.He could not understand.he said, why Canadian butter commands two shillings more per case in England than United States butter.Since coming to Canada, it has become clear to him that the 10 EXHIBIT AT PARIS \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Plans and Photographs of Montreal Harbor to Be Sent.PROGRESS ON WORKS A Nu:iaber of Itenis of Routine Business Disposed of at Yesterday's Meeting of Harbor Board.One uf the exhibits at the Paris Exhibition will be a map of Montreal harbor and photographs of the new works In course of construction.This was unanimously decided at the Harbor Board meeting yesterday.The estimated cost is $250 for the map and plans and $50 for the photographs.The harbor improvement committee recommended the advertising for tenders for tbe materials required for the flood protection whart to be built along Common Street from Prince to McGill Streets.As to what part of the harbor improvement works could Lest be constructed next year, It was recommended that the shore whart next the Lachine canal and the first pier next the canal be proceeded with, and that tenders for materials be advertised for forthwith.It was also recommended that application be made to the Minister of I'ublic Works that the uppermost, or nore south-westerly, pier be about Afty feet further up stream than shown on tle plan, so as to make It about 150 feet from the islana wharf, In order that the upstream side of the latter wharf might be Died during the construction of the new \u2018the report was adopted, with the exception of the last recommendation.A question of raising the height of the guard pler, rounding off the top, ete., was on the motion of Mr.Racine, referred to the Improvement committee, the harbor en- glneer and the City Surveyor to present a Joint report on the cost of the work.The Harbor Engineer reported the progress of the new works.The report was satisfactory.John Wilcox wrote offering $8.50 per gross ton for old engines at Sorel.The Ingineer will report on the value of the engines.The draft agreement with the Grand Trunk Railway Company respecting the track they desire to have constructed at Windmill Point basin, was approved, and the president and secretary were author Ized to sign the same.Messrs.Carrier, Laine & Co, wrote that

\u201cThe acquittal of Aram Tremblay did not surprise us; qwe had even foreseen it.At the time of Tremblay's arrest we refrained from making the comments suggested to us by this coup de theatre on the part ¢f Chiel Hnghes, because we respect the law: bul now that the tribunal has disposed of the charges brought, against Tremblay we are free to say that the action of Chief Hughes against this ex-con- stabie was iil-considered, and in our opin- lon, could have no other result than to impede and block the investigation.\u201cWe disapprove entirely of the traffic in positions at the City Hall, and we contend that if there Lac been an honest wish to throw light on the manner 13 which constables have obtained their positions and ou the price they have paid, they should not have Leen tlueatened.at the start with criminal prosecotion and a few years imprisonment.Chief Hughes and the Police Committee must not believe that Tremblay\u2019s acquittal clears the situation or causes the lmputations to disappear.On the contrary, everybody still says that po- sitlons are bought and sold at.the City Hall, and principally the positions of constables.\u201cWe are absolutely disinterested in the present case, and we speak but for the publie good.All men who are disinterested agrec in saying that sufliclent account has not been taken of the accusations made recently, and that the Police Committee should take the trouble to gO to the bottom of things, when facts of such gravity as those recently revealed are brought to its knowledge.The public 18 far from being satisfied with the manner in which the committee has faced the situation and with the incomplete inves- gations that have been made.At all events from the examination which took place (in the Tremblay case), it would appear that positions are sold at the City Ha'i.and the committee does not seem to be much concerned about it.\u201d (La Presse.) a half of session! majority of \u201cThree Why?hours and To declare

tactics were employed to delay the inves tigation and to gain the necessary time to set up some arrangement which will cause to fall through this proposed investigation, which at present occupies the pub lie mind and which will play a more important part in the approaching election than some candidates may destre.\u201cOne of the incidents of the discussion, and not the least.was the letter addressed to the Mayor by the City Attorneys in reply to the one which our first marisirate had sent them to know if the motiou of Ald.Laporte, granting Immun ity to sworn constables, were legal.1n- stead of answering by a simple yes or no, the City Attorneys replied quoting to the Mayor an amendment which rendered the secret is entirely in the complete system of cold storage, from creamery to English dock, which now prevails.Mr.Baker says the agriculturists of Canada have to thank the Canadian Minister of Agriculture, Hon.Sydney Fisher, for the extra two shillings which they receive for their butter.THINKS A CHANGE IS COMING.Although domiciled in England, Mr.Baker is a New Yorker, and in a position to compare the industrial and commercial development of the two countries.He gives, as the result of his observations, an opinion that must be deeply repugnant to the ideas and hcpes of all admirers of England's manufacturing greatness, albeit he offers some compensating consolation.It is Mr.Baker's conviction that England is fast losing her manufacturing supremacy; that the business ie passing into the hands of the people of the United States, who have greater mechanical skill, greater genius in adopting means to ends, and greater quantities of raw materials.But England, he argues, will continue to be the market of the world.What the United States make, England will sell.Her bankers stretch their arms everywhere.It matters not where an American sells hig wares, he is paid for them in London.England will more and more become the distributor of the products of all the

and sincerity of which were questionable.The re ply of the City Attorneys will nevertheless be received with approval by the public as well as by La Presse.In answer ing as they did, the City Attorneys have at least assumed their true role of counsel of the aldermen and of the citizens instead of that of sheer obstructionists which they have been made to fill for too long a time.\u201cThey were asked: \u2018Was Ald.Laporte'\u2019s motion legal\u201d Why was that question put to them if not to recelve a useful reply?If they had simply answered no, their reply would have been useless to dis cussion, and inaccurate, since one part of the motion was legal.In lieu of this they sent to the Mayor a text of a motion which said in a legal form all that Ald.Laporte had said in a form more or less correct, In acting thus the City Attorneys have fulfilled their duties both of counsel and of public functionaries.They placed the Council in a position to pronounce itself.without losing time, on the strength of the whole question; which tne Council could have fone but for the incomprehensible opposition of Ald.Beau- Soleil, ' \u201cWhile the Council thus sat in useless session the police magistrate acquitted Aram Tremblay, and deiivered a judgment which showed Ald.Laporte\u2019s motion to be quite legal.Judge Choquet has in fact decided that the oath administered to policemen on their induction into the force had no value, the Recorder having no authority to administer it.That is to say that this oath Is nnil and void, that it 1s as though it had not heen taken, and that the members of the force who will depose under oath before the Police Com- miltee will be bound by this last oath ly.\u201cThe motion of Ald.Laporte now hecomes legal, since it.is no more a question of protection from prosecution before the courts, but simply a question of assurance.Albeit we believe that this motion is too vague and would need to be modified, its wording assures immunity to all men on the force, while it would be necessary to distinguish between the exploiter and his victim; between those who have paid and those who have made others ay.\u201d (The Star.) \u201cBut, atwany rate, the Mayor ruled Ald.Laporte\u2019s motion out of order; and would not permit it to be amended so as to meet either the opinion of the City Attorneys or his own objections.In doing so, he assumed a tremendous responsibility.The people want to know the facts about these police scandals.Have most of our constables paid a toll-gate fee for their places on the force?Is there a Tammany frying These questions should be answered authoritatively; ana the man who assumes the responsibility of preventing such an answer, has no light burden to carry.\u201cThe public want to know the truth.\"They want the constables encouraged, and not discouraged to tell the truth.They want the system exposed and crushed, if it exists; and they want the falr name of the city cleared, either by such drastie action or by a free and untrammeled examination resulting in a \u2018clean bill of health.\u2019 \u2019\u2019 on the new dredge, and $4.482 balance due on the new tug, to the People's !

Criminal Court at Bry- son, Que.It was the Sparling trial that caused such interest last spring, For three weeks the lawyers fought over the case.At times it seemed that nothing could save the woman, at other times it would seem that she was plainly innocent.The trial was one of the longest and most bitterly fought murder trials in the history of the country.Finally the jury disagreed, and a new trial was ordered.At the time {1 was stated that no evidence, however strong, could convict a woman in Pontiac, and there was a discussion as to change of venue.Nothing, however, was done.{eterna

DIET DISPENSARY h ere Food to Tempt All Invalid\u2019s Appetite May Be Ob- tained\u2014Dainties for the Sick Poor, Almost twenty-one years ago a few ladies, with the bodily needs of the sick poor plainly before them, started the Diet Dispensary.A small corner of the Y.M.C.A.dining room, a little gas stove, and $18, were the foundation stones of what Is now one of the most useful charl- tiles Im the city.Miss De Witt, who is the able, greathearted president, told me that the ladies began Ly cooking the food themselves over the above-mentioned gas stove, and that the work for the first year did not assume very large proportions.The number of visits pald numbered a very few hundreds as compared with 17,336 applicants last year, of which 16,338 were free.9735 paid and 38 half-price.The Dlet Dispensary has headquarters in a red brick hcuse on Osborne Street, No.\u201c9, near Mountain Street.Here Mrs.Calder, who has been connected with the Dispensary for some years, assisted by her sister, prepares the excellent beef tea, chicken broth, jellies, etc., which go to the homies of the poor.There are two regular nurses employed by the Dispensary to go about caring for the sick in the poor parts of the city.Nurse F rlzzell and Nurse Boyd are doing splendid work caring for the neglected and aursing back to health those who are in want and weakness.The names of applicants in need of nurs- Ing and help are given by many people.All frée and half-priced orders are signed by the physician, clergyman or city mis- siouary, and any other person wishing to recommend an applicant must obtain a written order from a member of the committee.The nurse then visits the place and finds out the needs of the sick person.In many cases, Miss DeWitt said, there will be scarcely anything in the house; perhaps not even sheets and pillowcases.The Dispensary supplies bed linen, which must be washed and returned, but blankers and quilts given are kept by the patients.The nurses who go about tending the poor sick people have no set hours for work; they \u2018do the work that\u2019s nearest,\u201d And stay as long as they are wanted.Sometimes they go at night just as thev happen to be sent for.Besides the two regular nurses last year, when there was an epidemic of grippe, a friend of the soclely paid for the services of an extra nurse.Miss Macdougall, n graduate of Grace Hospital, Toronto, came down and was of great assistance.This year the same kind friend bas promised that, If necessary, he will repeat this generous offer.\u2018Are many of them able to pay for what they get?1 asked.\u201cFor the most part they are free patients, but in many cases they pay half- price or what they can.In one case we had, the woman said she could not pay anything.She was too poor.1 think she paid the nurse's cat fare, but I am not sure.However, sometime later we received $1 from this same woman, who pald when she could, so you see the poor aren't always ungrateful as people say,\u201d smiled Miss DeWitt.\u201cDo the nurses take the bottle and jely to the people?\u201d \u201cNot unless it îs absolutely impossibie for the patient to send for the things.In most cases they have someone to send, And the nurses are not supposed to carry supplies unless it is necessary.\u201d Miss DeWitt spoke highly of the two nurses.Nurse Frizzell has heen with the Dispensary for twelve years, and is a most relinble woman and great help.These women are doing a noble work among the poor.and the Diet Dispensary deserves all the help one_can give.\u201cWhat shall 1 tell need.Miss DeWitt?\"

FOR NEXT MONTH'S BRIDE.New Idea to Help the Worried Shopper Looking For Wedding Presents\u2014Odd Chairs and Clocks.Tall clocks are in great demand this sea- sou, and wedding present buyers are already leaving orders at the shôps where these costly timekeepers are sold.The prices range from $50 to many hundreds of dollars, and for $1,500 a fairly handsome, carved or inlaid, \u2018\u2018grandfather\u2019\u201d can be purchased, with a face of porcelain, gold and silver, showing the planets as well as the flying hours.Carved teakwood, inlaid mahogany and gnarled and blackened oak can all be made to look \u2018\u2018ancestral,\u201d and the taller the clock, the slower its gk and the more ancient and solemn \u2018ifs mbanor,\u201cthé greater Îts valut from evert point of view.The beauty and the decorative value of these clocks are undeniable, but the bridal! pair who are presented with one of these costly gifts are sometimes about as happy as was the old lady whose nephew in India sent her an elephant for a birthday present.Like many other desirable possessions, they entail luxuries which many people manage to live without, For instance, a broad hall or a roomy staircase niche Is almost essential to the comfort and self-respect of the grandfather * lock.The modern house-hullder grudges every inch of space, and the apartment house landlord would wax hilarious at the idea of a broad hall or an entrance spacious enough to accommodate anything more cumbersome than a hat rack.The tal! clock, planted unceremoniously in a corner of the dining room, loses half its dignity and betrays a hopeless want of reverence on the part of its owners.A dim corner of a foyer hall, the bow of the staircase window, a niche made espec- fally for it on the landing, are places wor- - \u201cthy of this majestic piece of furniture.Odd chalrs are also wedding presents which the most fastidious of brides would appreciate, as there are very novel and beautiful ones to be had, and they are not at all apt to be duplicated.A high seat of Flemish oak, with carved and fluted legs, and arms and back ornamented with winged dragons with women\u2019s faces, Is vp- holstered in bright green leather, er:bossed with gold.Another armchair of ancient Flemish design is carved with grotesque figures of men and animals and upbolster- ed with smooth, dull suede in mellow brown, relieved by painted coats-of-arms on seat and back.Such a chair as cither of these would add dignity to the too-new home and delight the eve of the bride cr bridegroom who loves interesting furniture.Herald Goupens Good as Gold.The Herald will offer many valuable premiums this fall, in return for Herald Cou- 8.Pesue of SATURDAY, SEPT.23, announces Dominion Gook Book 300

I flush up hot.even now, when I think of it.So IT talked a great deal and fonnd myself infinitely pleased with Brandon\u2019s conversational powers, which were rare: being no less than the capacity for saying nothing, and listening politely to an infinite deal of the same thing, in another form.from me.I remember that I told him I had known the Princess Mary from a time when she REWRITTEN AND RENDERED INTO MODERN ENGLISH FROM SIR EDWIN CASKODEN\u2019S MEMOIR Br EDWIN CASKODEN [CHARLES MAJOR] Copyrighted by the BowEN-MERRILL COMPANY in 1899, and for the first time in serial form by The Montreal Herald by special arrangement.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000008 3 _ yd 000000008000000080000000000000000000000000000¢¢ \u201cThe Love Story of the Year,\u2019 \u201cWhen Knighthood Was in Flower,\u201d OR THE LOVE STORY OF CHARLES BRANDON AND MARY TUDOR (THE KING\u2019S SISTER, AND HAPPENING IN THE RRIGN OF HIS KING HENRY VIII.ublished 0000600080005 000300000000000000000009000 was twelve years old, and how 1 had nade a fool of myself about her.1 fear I tried to convey the impression that it was her exalted rank only which made her look unfavorably upon my passion, and suppressed the fact that she had laughed at me good humoredly, and put me off as she would have thrust a poodle from her lap.The truth is, she had always been kind and courteous to me, and had admitted me to a degree of intimacy much greater than I deserved.This, partly at least, grew out of the fact that I helped her along the thorny path to knowledge; a road she travelled at an eager gallop, for she dearly loved to learn\u2014from curlosity perhaps.I am sure she held me in her light, gentle heart as a dear friend, but while her heart was filled with this mild warmth for me, mine began to burn with the flame that discolors everything, and I saw\u2019 her friendliness in a very distorting light.She was much kinder to me than to most men.but T did not see that it was by reason of my absolute harmlessness: and, I suppose, because I was a vain fool, I\u2019 gradually began to gather hope \u2014 which goes with every vain man\u2019s love\u2014and,what is more, actually climbed to the very apex of Idiocy and declared myself.I well knew the infinite distance betweer us, but like\u2019 every other man who came within the circle of this charming loadstoile I lost my head, and, in short, made a greater fool of myself than I uaturally was\u2014which is L saving a good deal for that time in my life, God knows ! I knew vaguely but did not fairly realize how utterly beyond my reach in every way she was until I opened the flood-gates: of my passior\u2014as I thought it\u2014and saw her\u2019 smile, and try to check the coming laugh.\u2019 Then came a look of offended dignity, followed by a quick softening glance.\u2018Leave me oue friend, I pray you, Ed-; win.I value you too highly to lose, and esteem you too much to torment.Do not) make of yourself one of those fools who feel.or pretend to feel, I care not which, : such preference for me.You can not know in what contempt a woman holds 4 man who follows her though she despises him.No man can beg a woman's love; he must command it; do not join their ranks, but let us be good friends.I will tell you the plain truth; it would be no different were we both of the same degree; even then I could not fec! toward you as you think you wish, but I can be your friend.and will promise to be that always, if you will promise never again to speak of this to me.\u2019 I promised solemnly and have always kept my word, as this true, gracious woman, so full of faults and beauties, virtues and failings, has, ever since that day and moment.kept hers.It seemed that my love, or what supposed was love, left my heart at once, frozen in the cold glint of her eves as she smiled upon my first avowal; somewhat as disease may leave the sickened body upon a great shock.And in its place came the restful flame of a friend's love, which so softly warms without burning.But the burning! There is nothing in life worth having compared with it for all its pains and agonies.Is there ?\u2018Now if you must love somebody.\u201d continued the princess, \u2018\u2018there is Lady Jane Bolingbroke, who is beautiful and good, and admires you, and, I think, could learn to -\u2014\u2019 but here the lady In question ran out from behind the draperies, where.I believe.she had been listening to it all, and put her hand over her mistress\u2019 mouth to silence her.\u201cDon't believe one word she says, Sir Edwin,\u201d eried Ladv Jane: Tif you do I never will like you.\u201d The emphasis on the \u201cwill\u201d held out such involuntary promise in case I did not believe the princess, that I at once protested total want of faith in a single syllable she had said about her, and vowed that I knew it could not be true; that I dared not hope for such hapi- ness, You sce, T had begun to make love to Jane almost before IT was off my knees to Mary, and, therefore, I had not heen much hurt in Mary\u2019s case.I had suffered merely a touch of the general epide- mie.not the lingering, chronic disease that tills.Then T knew that tha best eure for the sting which lies in a luekless love is to love elsewhere, and Jone.as she stood \u201cthere, so petite.so nlushing and =o fair.struek me as quite the most nleasing antidote I covld possibly find, ço T began at once to administer to myself the delightful covn- tor irritant.Tt was n happy thought for mr: one of those which come to a man now and then.and for whieh he thantg his wits In every hour of his after lifé.(Fo be continued.)

Director.WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER, 27, 188.MONTREAL'S COUNTERPART.\u201cThe affairs of the City of Philade)- phia have fallen into a most deplorable condition.The streets of the city have been allowed to fall into such a state as to be areproach and disgrace.Philadelphia 18 now recognized as the worst paved and worst cleaned city in the world.The effort to clean the streets was abandoned for months and no attempt was made to that end until some public-spirited citizens at thelr own pxpense, cleaned a number of the principal thoroughfares.Public work has been s0 badly done that structures have had to be renewed almost as soon as finished.Inefficiency, waste, badlv- paved and flithy streets and slovenly and costly management have been the rule for years past throughout the city government.\u201d From a Memorial in 1883 to Legislature of Pennsylvania.ye THE MAYOR'S APPEAL TO IRISH CATHOLIOS.We read in a contemporary on February 13th last, that the Mayor, replying to the suggestion by some of his friends that he should stand for a second term, \u201cSaid he desired specifically and emphatically to announce that he had fully made up his mind not to accept nomination for a second term.Nothing could alter his determination.He would always insist upon the observance of the tacit understanding between the various sections of the community under which representatives of the various nationalities filled the office of mayor in rotation.It was the turn of the Irish people to elect a mayor after his term had expired.\u201d On the same date in another contempor ary it was said \u201cThe mayor stated this morning that under no circumstances would he consent to be a candidate for the mayoralty next year.\u201d There is thus no doubt about the position in which the Mayor stood In the middle of February of this year.But now there is a change.He told the Star yesterday that he had \u2018\u2018fully made up his mind to have a second term.\u201d He said he thought himself entitled to ft \u2018because of the vast preponder- nerance of French-Canadians in the city.\u201d Froin this we are probably to infer that His Worship considers the English-speaking Ca- lholies not entitled to their turn because they are numericaily weak.He told the Star he was not aware of any understanding which would necessitate his mak- Yet he has boasted of having been largely responsible for the arrangement which he now proposes to break.Moreover, in the letter announc- Ing way for an Irish Catholic.Ing his candidature for Mayor two years ago, he distinctly promised that at the end of two years he would make way for a successor in accordance with the tacit agreement.He then said in a letter to the press, \u201cIf, after fifteen years of faithful service in the Council, I am permitted to assist the new Council in carrying out these important measures during the next two years, I shall then retire into private life.\u201d If, therefore, as he now says, there is no anderstanding that there should be a change in the nationality of the clty\u2019s chief magistrate every two years, there was a very clear understanding between him and the public that he at least should cease to be chief magistrate on the first of February next.If he would live up to the terms of the agreement drawn up by himself, the community might easily be left to say whether the tacit understanding is in force or not.For our part we have not the least doubt that if Mr.Prefontaine would withdraw from the field the selection of the next Mayor would be left with one accord to the leading English-speaking Catholics of Montreal and that they would have little difficulty in presenting one or more candidates in every way acceptable.We venture to believe that the Irish Catholics of Montreal were not prepared for the treatment they have received at They were entitled to believe, under the terms the hands of Mayor Prefontaine.of the peculiar arrangement, of which so much has been made, that the Mayor of Montreal in 1900 would be one of themselves.There have only been three of them in the Mayor\u2019s chair in the sixty years of the city\u2019s history, Messrs.Cassidy, Hingston and McShane, and Mr.Cassidy was identified rather with the French than the Irish section.The Mayor cannot fairly argue, therefore, that the Irish Catholics are unduly clamorous in demanding that the arrangement, as it affects them, shall be lived up to.They may not be able to protect themselves against his high-minded methods, and may not entertain the idea of meeting the issue he has raised, for they are necessarily keenly sensitive of the difficulties of their position in a community so constituted as this one.We shall be very much surprised, however, if the affront fg taken with a good grace.It is true the Irish Catholics, who are only about one in seven of the population, could not nowmi- nate and elect a mayor, in spite of all opposition, any more than could the English Protestants, whe are of about the same numerical strength.Nelther have they been able as yet to elect more than two aldermen, about half what they clalm thelr numbers in the community entitle them to.But it was just because of this that the was made through which Mayor Prefontaine has contemptuously put his foot.At the same time, the arrangement was not altogether based on charl- table considerations, for the voting power of fifty thousand people ls considerable, as may be made to appear if the Irish Catholics take to heart the Mayor's affront to The Mayor had better reconsider his decision and make another an- good arrangement thelr race.nouncement that he will maintain faith, \u2014\u2014 BOURINOT VBRSUS THE MAYOR.when he declared Laporte's motien out of order on The Mayor's ruling, Ald.Monday, was the recourse of a man driven He had applied to the City expecting to have tie resolution declared illegal.If that move had been successful he would, with an easier mind, have usurped the right to strike it from the order paper.But the Attorneys, to thelr credit be it sald, refused to make of their department a donkey engine for the Mayor and the ring, The Mayor therefore, without that relnforce- ment.As a matter of right, if he had had it, it would have been none the less out of his province to declare the resolu- into a corner.Attorneys was, tion out of order.terday, the resolution As we pointed out yes- being before the Council in accordance with tlie rules of the the Mayor had absolutely no authority over it procedure governing Council, or over the Council's action regarding it.For him to say, \u2018because the resolution, In my opinion, is illegal I declare it must be struck off the order paper,\u201d was an usurpation of authority utterly unjustitia- ble.It would have been none the less unjustifiable had he had the Attorneys\u2019 opinion behind him.We publish ia another column to-day the opinion of Sir John Bourinot, the highest authority in Canada, who supports this view.There Is noth- Ing specially difficult in the point thus raised.It is elementary that the Mayor sitting in Council is merely the presiding officer, bound by the rules of order and by the decisions of the Councll; that it Council is in the mind to decide upon an illegal course, though its decision is in direct defiance of the advice of its law officers and the presiding officer, the latter has ne authority to withdraw the matter from discussion and prevent the resolution from being dealt with.Of this we do not doubt the Mayor is quite well aware.We do not doubt the Mayor's knowledge and competency in these matters.1f, therefore, he took a course which is sub- and if he trampled on the rights of aldermen, he did versive of sound procedure, so because these things are nothing to him when he has an end to attain.The matter is too important to be allowed to drop; the Mayor\u2019s action must not be allowed to become a precedent, and it should, therefore, be brought up at the next meeting of Council and the question set straight.mt A MATHEMATICAL OPPOSITION, The Cornwall Standard is disgusted with the apathy of the big Conservative papers as shown by their failure to see that last session was a seventy-five million dollar session.It says: \u2018The big papers may not have had the time to go into the matter thoroughly.When they do they will find that the statement published in the Stan dard is correct in every particular.\u201d It Is to be hoped the Mail and Empire, which is five millions behind the Standard in the race, and the Gazette, nearly nine millions behind, will quickly catch up, and that the Star will come out in hearty acknowledgment of the Standard\u2019s acumen, instead of merely printing its conclusions in a part of the paper which indicates endorsation.The Standard\u2019s seventy-five million calculation is a good thing, fit to enter the company of \u201cthe nucleus,\u201d \u2018the magnetie thrill,\u201d ana \u2018the wad.\u201d For the information of the big papers, which must be very Jealous of the Standard, The Herald will explain how the thing is done.First you take as much as possible of last year's expenditure.If the last ses sion betrayed any increase In it, that te enough.The Standard gets nearly three millions of a start in this way.Add all {tho estimates that can be got hold of, whether the sums voted are likely to be spent in one Year or twenty.This constitutes the basis.For seasoning, take a payment of $140,000 a year to the Grand Trunk Railway and calculate that if it were paid in one year Instead of in ninety-nine it would be not $140,000 at all but $4,666,666.Next take the $60,000 given to Ottawa towards making it the Washington of the north.Put this on a basis of ten years, discounted for cash, and $386,295 is at once at hand.Any decent Conservative must at once see that in these two items alone the Government is spending over five millions this year Instead of a bare $200,000.But that is easy beside what follows.There are 1,648 miles of railway under subsidy, and the men having the charters will, naturally, draw the subsidies.This runs away with another six millions.Of course, a that the able to raise ali the neces- antecedent is shall be private capital they want and build every sary promoters mile of the road before the first of Juiy, 1900, which is about as likely as that there will be a railway to the moon by then, but the Standard sweeps all that aside as being It does 1,428 miles of tiiese roads are subsidized at only $3,200 a mile because they will cost less than $15,000 a mile.Br tha aimola fit only for the sleepy bLIg papers.niore.\u2014 expedient of making every mile of Ît cost $41,400 instead of perhaps half that, the Standard adds a clean four and a half ml.lious to the authorized expenditure.It as eary as rolling off a log.Nu wonder the Standard holds the record.We suspect, moreover, that if really pushed to it the Standard might still show that Why, for example, stop working the capitalizing pro- Nobody is going to say that it has a little left up its sleeve.cess 80 soon\u2019 all the rallway subsidies have now been granted and that there will be no more.The system will probably continue, at least a zealous calculator might assume it for Why not, therefore, add the present worth of eleven millions of

electors is small the Mayor thinks thelr rights are small.In the matter of the mayoralty, \u2018No Irish need apply\u2019 till I've had enough.\u2014R.Pre- fontaine, Mayor.\u201cThe Mayor sald he has \u201cfully made up his mind to have a second term.\u201d The electors must unmake his mind.Toronto people saw a snake yesterday that measured over nine feet.There is nothing for this complaint like water.The meeting of the city\u2019s unemployed called for Monday last was a fizzle.The unemployed were too busy working to attend.The Mayor's understanding of the tacit agreement Is that the Irish Catholics can afford to walt till he Is through with the office.The Mayor\u2019s opinion seems to be that he is good enough to pass for the Irish Mayor.But he omitted to consult the Irish Catho- lies about it.If it had been an English Protestant's turn, would the Mayor have ventured to scoop it in for himself without so much as \u2018\u2018by your leave?\u201d Of course, our Irish fellow-citizens will accept the Mayor's statement that they were mistaken and will go home and say nothing about it.Just watch them.We would be sorry to offend against the Mayor's vanity, but there are at least a dozen English-speaking Catholics who would fill his position as well as he fills it.Montreal is the one city in the Dominion where Irishmen have flattered themselves they have some municipal privileges.The Mayor notifies them that they are mistaken, Irish Catholics will please take notice that they are not to aspire to the Mayoralty.The present mayor has considered the question and thinks their claim not strong enough for him to respeqt.The Conservative papers have decided on bringing on the general electic at an early date.Unless sone Influence is brought to bear upon the Toronto Mail and Empire, it will have them in January.The Irish Catholics have put up with a representation in the Council that does them little credit and with a representation that is less than they claim, in the belief that at least they could elect a Mayor.Now that is off.The next amendment to the civie charter should be to make the City Attorneys members of the Council.If the practice of referring things to the law department continues this will be the only way to get anything done.The Mayor says there is no arrangement that he is bound to respect.But it is odd that he should hasten to announce his candidature just before the meeting, spoken of by the True Witness, to select an Irish Catholic Mayor.Rossland\u2019s pay roll last month was somu- thing like $138.000.The saying that more gold is put in the ground than is taken out of it does not apply to Rossland.The pay roll is large, but the returns from th» smelters are larger.The Mayor Is busy with a revision of Bourinot\u2019's volume, \u201cProcedure in the Conduct of City Councils and Other Publie Meetings.\u201d The new volume will he published immediately, as after next February he will have no further need of it.The Michipicoten mining district is showing up splendidly.New discoveries have been made and the district is found to De rich on free gold.The Sault Ste Marie News devotes an interesting supplement to the section and what has been accomplisn- ed in it.When it was the turn of a French-Cana- dian, Mr.Prefontaine deferred the formal announcement of his candidature until within two weeks of election day.Now, when it is the turn of an Irish- Catholic, he takes time by the forelock.thinking to scare opponents out of the field.When Ald.Prefontalne offered himself for Mayor, many citizens who do not approve of his municipal course said, \u201cOh, wel] let him have his term and at the end of two years the city will he rid of him.\u201d The Herald told them their hopes were vain.As well try to separate Epliralin from his idols as the Mayor from office.It will be Intrresting to note the length of time that will elapse between the publication in certain Conservative papers of the statement that Mr.Tarte said it was \u201cwrong to buy votes\u2014when they are not required,\u201d and Mr.Tarte's denial of the same.A lie is said to travel seven leagues while the truth is getting on its

Wilfrid was a leader beloved by the whole of Canada, French and English alike.In his recent visit to England his eloquent speeches and statesmanlike grasp of Canada\u2019s necessities had won the

of the bay, a storm moved north today, giving heavy rain in Calcutta, Dina- japur, Bangpur and Jalpaiguri, and falling with the greatest fury at Darjeeling.Simultaneously another storin gathered at Baugpur and passed westward from Purnea to Monghyr.The usual weekly reports have not been received by the Government, and there is reason to fear that the district named is flooded and commuui- cation interrunted.It is estimated that between Darjeeling and Kurseong alone 300 persons have lost their lives.The line between Darjeeling and Sonada will be blocked probably for two months.Both the upper and lower Puglajhoras have been carried away.A number of bodies have been recovered on the Happy Valiey estate.The soldiers of the Munster regiment are searching for bodies and cleariug the roads.A VETE RAN'S DEATH.Funeral of the Late John Doyle, Who Was One of the Hevoes of Sebas- topol.The Montreal members of the Imperial Army and Navy Veterans\u2019 Association last night paid their last respects to the memory of the late John Doyle.The deceased was a private in the 30th Regiment, which saw service at the fall of Sebastopol.He served under Lord Wolse- ley, and never tired of telling of the great- yess of his general.While conversing with friends he was fond of going back to days of active service, but was never known to seek notoriety or discuss his actions while wearing the Queen\u2019s uniform with anyone who was likely to give him any publicity.Among his fellows of the Imperial Army and Navy Veterans\u2019 Association he was much beloved.The body was taken to Hamilton

National, Shamrock and Cornwall.But had Cornwall won the protest it would practically have given Cornwall the championship.It was to the interest of Shamrock and National to oppose the protest.That is what they did, regardless of the rules.And it is whispered the gates had more to do with it than Had the pennant.As far as the point at dispute is concerned, the rule is plain.The rules and the decision of the League at the last meeting agree that there are two alternatives for a referee in case of a minor foul\u2014to wagn the man or to put him off for the game (not watch).No one can for a moment suspect Mr.Carson of doing anything but what he thdught right, but that does not affect the rule, which is in black and white.Most people favor Mr.Carson's method, but the fact remains that the rules of the game as they stand do not allow the referee the power exercised on the occasion an dispute.; Mr.Lamarche claimed the decision was in favor of Cornwall, and that they should not kick, though this is not in accordance with the facts.The game lasted, according to Mr.Carson, about sixteen minutes, Five of this had gone when Feaker.was put off, leaving eleven more, which was played.Peaker should have been off for the game or all the eleven.Instead he was off only five minutes, and his strong play on the home was\u2019 instrumental in.winning the game for Toronto.It was sald that he ought simply have been warned.Oh.no; he had already been warned and actually put off for one game, Those present at the meeting were: Chairman\u2014Mr.W.P.Lunny.Shamrocks\u2014Mr.W.P.Lunny.Toronto\u2014-Mr.W.P.Lunny.Cornwall\u2014Mr.J.E.MePhee.National\u2014Mr.Jos.Lamarche.Capital\u2014Mr.J.P.Dunn.Sherbrooke\u2014Mr.T.Magulre, The meeting was a special one called to decide the protest of Cornwall against the decision of Referee Hugh Carson in the Toronto match on September 9th.and that was the only business taken up, and that was left unfinished.Mr.McPhee explained that the ground of protest was that Dr.Peaker had been pnt off Tor five minutes, whereas, the rules said the penalty.if any imposeed.was to rut the man off for the game, (not mateh).The section under which the foul comes reads \u2014 \u201cExcept in cases already provided fer, the penalty for fouling shall be discretionary with the referee.For ordinary fouls which In no way affect the result of the game he shall caution the offender for the first offence: if repeated the referee may suspend him for the rest of the game not match din which sueh font takes place without stopping the play.\u201d Mr.McPlice held that the referee, by this clause, had discretionary power as to whether he would penalize the offeader or not.If he did penalize him the penalty was to put him off for the game (not match).He had no discretionary nower which allowed him to put a wan off for five minutes.ir.McPhee referred to the National-Capital protest.In that protest the league decided that the referee had ower to put an offender off for the game not match).and that he had no discretion as regarded the time the offender was to be put off.This was a similar case, and the declsion should be the same.Mr.McPhee then moved that the match be declared null and void, and be ordered to be played over on a date decided on by the League.The Chairman then gave his Interpretation of the rule.He said the referce had the right to use his discretion and put a man off for any length of time he saw ft.Mr.Lamarche said he could see no similarity between the National protest aad this one.He sald the decision was in favor of Cornwall.Mr.Dunn seconded Mr.McPhee's motion, saying he wished to hear the rule discussed.Mr.Hugh Carson, whose decision was In dispute, was asked to make a statement.He said that he had put Dr.Peaker off in the last game.The score stood 2 ta 2.There was still 14 minutes to play.After playing 5 minutes there was a mix-up aud Peaker threatened to strike a Cornwail man.He put him off for 5 minutes.Peak- er then went on again and played till Te- ronto scored a goal a couple of minutes after time was up.Mr, Carson said that as it was a minor offence and was in the deciding game, 5 minutes was a sufficient penalty.He was strongly in favor of penalizing by time in this way.FOR OR AGAINST THE PROTESTA vote for or against the

Louisville\u2014 Quebec Horse Won at Halifax - Gravesend Races.Tororto, Sept.26,\u2014The racing at the Woodbine to-day was done amid pouring raln and in presence of a gathering composed of very few in addifion to those whose official duties required them to be rresent.The wind was cold and the day quite wintry, but curiously enough the time in the various events was but little short of the opening day's record, tne track being in fairly good condition, despite the rain.The big event of the day, the Autumn Handicap, of $700, was won by Lamp Globe, after the horses had entered the stretch, Dally Report leading till then.An unfortunate incident occuv- red in the 3-4 mile selling race.Yo No See was leading at the finish, and A.Weber, the boy, passed what he took for the winning post about two lengths ahead of Annie Lauretta.He pulled up just as the real post .was reached, and Annie Lauretta got home first by a neck.The boy had never won a race before, and there is no suspicion of wrongdoing.Following are the details of the racing: First race, 3-4 mile, purse $300, selling, all ages\u2014Rey Salazar, 96, McQuade, 3 to 1, won; Branch, 102, Joe Weber, 8 to 5, second;

Different Man.New York, Sept.26.\u2014If the four members of the B.J.Kenney Association had only tackled Tom Sharkey in the ring\u2014whist ! philaloo ! what a difference there'd have been.Dut they tackled him darkly at dead of night and made him howl and run.Poor Tom went driving with Fred Koe- nig Sunday evening from Felix Boehm's hotel at New Dorp, Staten Island, where he is training to fight Jim Jeffries for the caampionship of the world.The four members of the B.J.Kenney Association, of New York city, were exceeding merry, for they had fully enjoyed their annual onting, chowder, games, and so forth.They heard that Sailor Tom was out for a drive.They left Greenwaldt's Hotel, which is near Boehm's, and ambled off in the dark, chuckling.Koenig and Sharkey were rattling along New Dorp lane when four sturdy knaves with their hats pulled down over their eyes, and with terrible voices, leaped out from under a clump of black trees, and roared \u201cHalt !\u201d Boehm's horse reared and stood stock- still.One man held him while three of the awful villains approached the waggon.Fred Koenig jumped down and ran, Ob, how he did run ! \u201cCome down, now,\u201d a deep, voice bellowed to Sharkey.\u2018\u2018No-0-0-0-0-ah !\u201d said Sailor Tom in as steady tones as he could find.He sat like a galvanized man, holding the reins and teeming to push very hard on them fin rome vague hope of making the horse run.The three men grabbed Sharkey ald pulled him from the seat.He flumped down, shaking, rolling, trying his best to break out of the grasp of the three desperate ruffians.Were the desperate murderers gurgling from the awful strain of wrestling with the would-be champion, or were they choking back their laughter?Queer chuckling sounds came from their throats.Shar- key used his 16-inch biceps and his 23%- Inch thighs and 13-inch calves in a last mighty effort.He broke away.New Dorp lane has never seen such speed.Tom passed Koenig as if he was nailed to the earth.The Sailor burst into Boehm\u2019s Hotel saving he had narrowly escaped assassination at the hands of betting men\u2019s hired thugs.When he heard yesterday that the four members of the B.J.Kenney Association were boasting of scaring hing, he denied the whole story.ttt vier ae 11 ee ee 2 2 d rumbling 4 WHEEL.VICTORIA RIFLES CYCLE CLUB.The club will ride to Cote St.Luc road to hold a coasting competition on

Infinite Amount of Speculations ON TRANSVAAL TROUBLE.Parliament, it 1s Believed, Will Meet About the Middle of October\u2014 Reports From South Africa.London, Sept.27.\u2014The Transvaal crisis has few fresh features.It is increasing!y probable thut Parliament will meet about the middle of October, aud it is agaîn asserted that General Sir Redvers Buller, Whu is to have supreme command of the British forces in South Africa in the event of hostilities, will start for the Cape on Uctaber 7th.Nothing, however, has been vilicially made known on elther point.Tue indications at the agency of the Trunsvuui Government in this city point to the belief that war Is Inevitable.Preparations are being made for removing the furniture from the headquarters, and the gloomlest impression in regard to the outcome of the crisis appears to prevail.Mr.Montague White, the consul-general of the South African Republic in London, wished to return to Pretoria, but was informed by his Government that in the event of war he would be more_useful at Brussels.The Transvaal Government wis in con- staut .telegraphic communication with Bloemfon: ein Yesterday, on the reply to Mr.Chamberlain\u2019s despatch.It is belilev- ed that the reply will protest against the continued despatch of Dritish troops as a menace to the Transvaal, The Pretoria Yolkstein, the official organ of the Transvaal Government, declares that the Transvaal executive ought to give Great Britain at the most forty-eight hours to reply to the Transvaal's demand that no further troops be landed, pending the receipt of the British proposals.The Times has a despatch from Johannesburg which asserts that the delay is creating the worst possible impression in the minds of the burghers, who taunting!y boast that while Great Britain deprecates delay on the part of the Boers, she intentionally and unnecessarily prolongs the controversy because she is afraid to follow up her own game of bluff, with the argument of force.Reports are heard on all sides of the eagerness of the Boers to start hostilities, and their postponement is said to be solely due to the restraining influence of General Joubert.It is added that it is believed that this Influence cannot be exercised much longer.There is a circumstantial rumor that General Joubert has re-' ceived Imperative orders from the armed burghers that unless he is prepared to take the initiative within a brief period, he must relinquish his command of the army.This is looked upon as an instruct- Ive indication of Boer feeling.WILL NOT PRESS SUZERAINTY.London, Sept.26.\u2014The Secretary of State for the Home Department, Sir Matthew White Ridley, speaking this evening at Blackpool, indicated that the question of suzerainty would not be used to force an issue in the Transvaal.He said, however, that the British Government would fnsist upon a redress of the gricvances of the Uitlanders, under the convention of 3861 and 1884.If these conventions had been adhered to, he declared, the present quarrel would never have been heard of.London, Sept.26.\u2014The Times to-day has a despatch from Pietermaritzburg, Natal, reporting that a meeting which has aroused a strong feeling among the loyalists, has been held by the Afrikanders.A strongly- worded resolution was passed asking the Government to recall the colonial forces on the border as their presence there Is inl- mical to peace, And is calculated to cause trouble with \u2018their fellow-Afrikanders.A telegram from Premier Schreiner was rend.saying the Government was working fo- pence.The meeting, notwithstanding.passed the resolution, which was supported by two justices of the peace.SIR WM.VERNON HARCOURT.London, Sept.27.\u2014Sir William Vernon Harcourt writes to the Times denying that the controversy regarding suzerainty was introduced by the Transvaal Government.He says it was originated by Mr.Chamber- Iain in his despatch of September 16th, 1897.\u201cThe Transvaal independence,\u201d says Sir William, \u201cis complete.Even in foreign affairs, the only thing reserved is the final approval of the Queen to tregties negot*- ated.Tt is unfortunate that the suzerainty question was ever raised, and the sooner the whole dispute is dismissed, the better; nothing but mischief can come from the employment of vague terms like suzerainty and paramountey.Beyond doubt.the relations of Great Britain with the Transvaa) rest upon the terms of the convention of 1884, and upon nothing else.What we have to do is to get the franchise question settled as quickly as possible, without the importation of extraneous matter.If, as the Government is understood to desire, both parties can take a new departure, there can be no obstacle to an amicable solution.\u201d London, Sept.27.\u2014The Cape Town cor respondent of the Daily News says: \u201cThe Boers have begun looting on the western border of the Transvaal.A house at Lich- tenherg, belonging to a British subject, was looted in his absence, everything portabie being carried off.\u201d A despateh to the Daily Mall from Pleter- maritzburg.Natal, says that the colored muleteers at Ladysmith mutinied and declined to go to the front with the artillery.* PERSONNEL OF TSH FORCE.Troops and Officers on Their Way to South Africa Are Already There- The Indian Contingent.London, September 25.\u2014The force

it.Those who desire a permanent cure of dyspepsia\u2014who want their stomach made right so that their food will give them strength, should take Burdock Blood Bitters.Miss Emily Howard, Port Hope,

be held, in which it is expected Bishop Dumoulin, Bishop \u2018Bond, Dean Carmichael, and Archdeacon Mills, will take part.On November 1.1874, divine service was held for the first time in the basement of the present cdifice, the Rev.Dr.Dumoulin (now Bishop of Niagara), being the preacher.On December 20th of the same year the épening services were held in the church, the preachers heing Bishop Oxenden, Dean (now Bishop) Bond.and the late Bishop Willinme, of Quebec.On the Christmas Nay following, ninety communicants gather- ST.MARTIN'S ed with the reet:r £r the firsi time in the new

Premium will be Developed in the Next Few Days.There is a large outstanding short interest in September corn, small stocks, and a concentrated long line.This is just the combination to make possible a squeeze in the final days of the month.Whether there is or not will depend on the moud of the longs, who are seaboard people.People close to the situation believe that there will be an unusual September premium developed in the next tew days.The sentiment is becoming ratlier more contdentiy bullish on the deferred corn futures.The Government figures on the crop make tle aggregate about 2,060,)00,000 bushels.The private estimates, so high early in the season, have all been reduced.There is no claim now that the yield will be a record- breaking one.The total supply reserve and new yield will he more or less under the total of last year at this time\u2014?00,000.- 000 to 300,000,009 bushels less.The enormous export movement sinee July suggests unusval foreign necessities, The feeding bas begun early beeause of the August drought.The uneven hay supply should make the home corn requirements more than ordinarily heavy.\u2018This sort of situation is illustrated by the premium for the September and the eomparatively small supplies in spite of extraordinary receipts.Pcople who are in the corn trade coutinu- ally, and who have no special predilections for the bull side.believe that the May cora some time this season will reach 40c.They are not altogether confident as in the immediate futnre, however, he- cause there is every incentive at present for a very heavy movemont to market.The &urplus corn states have the great yielde- Kanszs, Nebraska.Illinois and Iowa.The rremiums at Chicagy will deter cribhing and incite marketing.Un*il these premiums disanpear ard cribbing begins the movement from the West may he co heavy as to keep prices of the deferred futures ow.The oats prospects is similar to the corn.The vield, while liberal.has not heen the record-breaking one talked early in the season, but the premiums are incentives for very liberal western offerings.It is expected that the corn and oats will move up or down together.ft NEW ORGAN FOR ST.PAUL'S.Messrs, Cassavant Bros., of St.Hyacinthe, have completed the construction of a handsome new organ in St.Paul's Presbyterian Chvreh, the gift of Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, on the occasion of his visit to this city in December last.The task of constructing the instrument was euntrast- ed by the church authorities to Messrs.Cassavant Dros.in April last, and it has now been in use for three Sundays, and Is giving perfect satisfaction.The tone 18 rich and powerful, and when the full organ is in use its volume is splendid and sonorous.Many of the solo stops are of exceeding softness and delicacy, and these have been employed to good advantage by Mr.J.H.Robinson, the organist of the church, in the offertory solos, since the Instrument has been in use.The organ was originally built by Messrs.S.R.Warren & Son, and it has been in constant use since 1869.In deference to the wishes of Lord Strathcona, ag much of the old instrument as was available has been utilized in the construction of the new.The organ is regarded as a decided acquisition to St.Paul's Church, and, indeed.as regards the number of stops, the multiplicity and variety of its mechanical accessories, tone, volume, rweetn- ss and purity, as well as the beauty of its combination, it will take a leading place beside the great organs of Canada.A THE NATIONAL HOME READING UNION.Miss\u2019
