[" rm N on D Cana 91ST YEAR.Ne¥%,198, THE CONFERENCE MAY ADJOURN, Probabilities Are That Some of the Business Will be Disposed of First, However.THE MICHIGAN LUMBERMEN Their Representative Protests Vigorously Against the Action of the Ontario Government, Smtt\u2014re\u2014 HON.MR.HARDY WILL BE THERE \u2014\u2014 To Tell Why the Legislature Took the Action That it Did.A S\u2014 Quebec, August 24.\u2014 (Special.) \u2014 The members of the International Commission are having a well-deserved rest after yesterday's proceedings.Although there was only a formal meeting held yesterday, the commissioners, and particularly the American representatives, were kept pretty busy with delegations.In the afternoon Hon.Don M.Dick- enson, ex-Postmaster-General, who has been here for several days past, called upon the American commissioners, with whom he had a lengthy interview.As previously stated, Mr.Dickenson is here in the interests of the Michigan lumbermen, who desire the repeal of the Ontario regulation which requires the sawing in Canada of all logs cut in that province, This is a question of the greatest importance to the Ontario lumbermen, and Sir Wilfrid has already been requested to use his influence with the Ontario Government to have the regulation repealed, as the Michigan lumbermen consider it very unfair, Suggests Abrogation.Mr.Dickenson, as representing the Detroit and Cleveland shipbuilders, also suggests the abrogation of the Rush-Bagot convention of 1817 regarding the building and maintaining of war vessels on the Great Lakes.The American shipbuilders request that the question of building of such ships be struck out.Hon.Mr.Dickenson left for Ottawa this morning, but will return here shortly.Ogdensburg Delegation.An important delegation from Ogdens- burg is also here, and had an interview with the American commissioners.They request the abolition of tolls on the Welland and St.Lawrence canals.Mr.Dingley in Demand.Mr.Dingley arrived here yesterday afternoon, and when he made his appearance in the rotunda of the Chateau Frontenac last evening he was immediately surrounded by the newspaper men, to whom he spoke for some time on \u2018differ ent topics, but at the same time avoiding any reference to matters which will probably be discussed before the confer ence.Referring to the alien labor law, he remarked that the act was never intended for Canadians, but to keep out some undesirable immigrants from Europe and Asia.This same opinion has also been expressed by several of Mr.Dingley\u2019s distinguished colleagues.Although the commissioners meet again tomorrow, it is impossible to say what they intend to do\u2014in fact, there is a rumor that they may adjourn for a few weeks, but one certainty is that they intend keeping their deliberations very private, and: they will refuse to give any information whatever as to what goes on in the Council chamber to the press.Will Sit for Two Weeks.was a rumor in circulation this monn that on Thursday next the Commissioners would take a recess and he reagons given for such a move were that a number of American interests desired to be heard befrre the American Commissioners aud 1t would be wmch Torre convenient to meet their representatives in the United States.Another reason was that Mr.Dingley had an election on hand for the second Monday in September, and as he had not yet attended to it he desired to back as soon as possible.From pretty reliable sources it is stated to-day that the Commissioners would sit for two weeks here and then adjourn for a time, so that parties wishing to be heard before the American Commissioners could do 60 without coming to Quebec.Sir Wilfrid's Di nner.Sir Wilfrid Laurier will entertain the following gentlemen at dinner at the Garrison Club this evening :\u2014Lord Herschell, Senator Fairbanks, Mr.Dingley, Sir R.Cartwright, Sir L.Davies, Senator Gray, General Foster, Mr.Charlton, Mr.Kas- son, Sir James Winter, Mr.Coolidge,

Quebec, the Mayor of Quebec, Hon.Mr.Dobell, Mr.W.F.King, and Mr.Venning.Oommissioners Speak.Quebec, Que, Aug.24.\u2014(Special.)\u2014A?ter the reading of the Mayor\u2019s address in both languages on Tuesday by Mayor Parent, Senator Fairbanks was requested to reply, and said the American Commissioners were deeply sensible of the high honor done them by the Council of the historic city of Quebec.Quebec was full of historical memories.It\u2019s soil had been enriched by English, American and French blood, had been madë& glorious by the deeds of heroes, deeds that were our common heritage.It was to be hoped that this city would know no further strife save that of the wholesome and elevating contests which are the rich fruits of peace.It was a source of gratification to Americans that the narrow, traditional prejudices which so long divided the two countries have disappeared.Recent events ave but served to emphasize our kinship, to increase the bonds of affection which should exist between the two great Eng.lish-speaking nations.They indulged in the hope that the labors of the Commission would tend to further promote that feeling of .amity between the kingdom of Great Britain and the republic of The United tates.or erschell then r lied, and remarked that on behalf of the British Coma.Biongrs he wished to associate themselves / MONTREAL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST

relations completely satisfactory to both countries, Mayor Parent, Hon.Marchand, Hon.James Tessier and several American ladies and gentlemen were then introduced to the Commissioners, who retired shortly after 1 0\u2019clock.At the meeting of the Commissioners in the morning Lord Herschell was appointed president, on motion of Senator Fairbanks.The Commissioners Have appointed the following as secretaries: Messrs.W.for the United States, and H.Bourassa, M.P., for Canada.committee of four was named to prepare a programme of procedure and the Commissioners adjourned to Thursday morning next at 11 o\u2019clock, THE BOUNDARY DISPUTE.An Interesting Letter From The Heralds Washington Correspondent Dealing With the Subject.(Special Correspondence of The Herald.) Washington, D.C., August 23,\u2014(Special.) \u2014Even the grave responsibilites of a foreign war and the negotiations for peace have not engaged the attention of the Administration officials to the exclusion of the important boundary questfon to be considered in a few days, by the joint High Commission which is to meet in Quebec.As it is, the news of almost daily victories of the American arms and the subsequent assurance that peace with great advantage to the Washington Government is aboul to be concluded, has been about all the American people could give their minds to.It was not forgotten, however, that the disputed boundary line was formerly considered as of the most interesting importance and there is no danger that great popular interest will not be evinced now that the joint \u2018High Commission has commenced its sessions in Quebec.Interesting discussion is heard among efficials of the State Department in Washington concerning the questions to be considered at the Quebec meeting although there is a reluctance to express opinions in an official capacity.Citizens of the Unifed States who have owned timber lands in northern Minnesota, have been warned by the Canadian authorities from cutting timber, on the ground that the land belonged to the Dominion Government.American miners in the Rainy Lake region have been restrained from operating on similar grounds, and fishermen from this country and Lake Erie have been arrested, although they believed they were fishing in American waters.When the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the 54th Congress investigated these matters and reported with a favorable recommendation on the joint resolution for the appointment of a commission on the part of the United States to act in co-operation with a similar commission on the part of Great Britain to define and map out the boundary as determined by the treaty of Ghent and the Webster-Ashburton treay of 1842 no action was taken on the joint resolution.An exceedingly interesting report was among the papers submitted on that occasion, prepared by Secretary Adee, of the State Department.Mr.Adee said in relation to that portion of the boundary which crosses Lake Erie: \u201cThe Ghent map of Lake Erie is extraordinarily imperfect in contour and inacu- rate in dimensions as to that part lying between the entrance to the Niagara River and Point Pelee.} note thereon that the part west of Point Pelee and Sandusky, including all the islands, was reduced from the actual survey made by order of the commissioners, and a separate chart of the Lake, westward of Point Pelee, showing the triangulations, and duly signed, is embraced by the Ghent series.The same footnote further states that the other parts of the lake (except the entrance into the Niagara River) are reduced from such printed maps as were supposed to be the most accurate.That the commissioners were misled in their estimate of the accuracy of the sources from which their map was compiled, is evident upon simple measurement.For example, in that part opposite Long Point, referred to in the committee\u2019s letter of January 17 as a probable field for dispute, the distance from he Northwesterly point of Presque Island, near Erie, Penn., to the southerh extremity of Long Point is found by the scale drawn upon the map itself to be about 37 1-4 geographical miles, while upon the accurate modern maps, reduced from surveys made by the army corps of engineers and published by the Hydrographic office, the same distance is in fact a trifle less than 23 miles.This circumstance makes determination by measurement from either shore to the delineated boundary of the Ghent map impossible, for the distance so measured would overlap some fourteen miles in the middle of the lake.Neither is an approximate reproduction of the Ghent line upon a modern map is feasible, owing to the variations in the contours of the shores between which it must be drawn.This circumstance alone makes the exact determination of the charted treaty boundary in Lake Erie at either end only an approximation yet to be determined.The original chart of Lake Irie, like that of Ontario, is unsigned by the commissioners.lt may, therefore, be properly said that as to the main body of these two lakes there does not exist a charting of the boundary having the force and value of treaty.\u201d Under the treaty of Ghent the commissioners who were appointed did not undertake to mark or define that part of the boundary between the Lake of the Woods and the St.Mary's River, and a part of it has never been charted at all.Mr Adee wrote as follows in regard to this subject: \u201cWestward of the Isle Royale in Lake Superior, no reproduction of the work.Ing maps of the Ghent commisisoners has been made, but as above said they only drew the extreme westerly portion of the northerly boundary from Chaudiere Falls to the northwesterly shore of the Lake lof the Woods.As to that part between Isle Royale and Chaudiere Falls where no line has as yet been charted by joint agreement of the two countries they are dependent upon the discretion given in article JI.of the treaty of 1842.\u201cIt is in this part of the line that Hunter\u2019s Island, mentioned in the committee's letter of January 16, is found.The part of the boundary skirting Hunter's Island as described in Article II.of the treaty of 1842, begins wih Lake Akisaginaga, and runs through that lake thence to and through Cypress Lake, Lac du Bois Blane, Lac a la Croix, and through the several smaller lakes, straits, or streams connecting the lakes mentioned.It is to be observed that Lac du Bois Blane, named in the treaty, is indifferently called Basswood Lake, a simple translation of the French name \u2018Bois Blanc,\u201d being of the same species of tree as the basswood of the United States.\u201d On the maps which have been examined in this department this small body of water thus indifferently denoted as Basswood Lake or Lae du Bois Blane, lies south of a large tract of land which on some maps is marked Hunter's Island and tite.au.tite.M.Ee ae It appears from a She stated that Susie had\u201dtold her of her C.Cartwright, for England; C.P.Anderson, | bounded on the north by Pimenanekok, a second Saisaginaga, Sturgeon and Tanners Lakes, which are apparently joined by water courses forming the continuous communication to which the committees letter of January 16 refers.The circumstance that continuous water communication may exist in fact north of the tract known as Hunter's Island appears, however to be immaterial, in view of the precise mention made of Lac du Bois Blanc, as one of the bodies of water through which the boundary rums, according to Article II of the treaty of 1842.Cypress Lake mentioned in the treaty has not been satisfactorily located on any of the maps.Walter BE.Clark.Premier Hardy Will {Go.Toronto, Aug.24.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The statement that Premier Hardy would go to , Quebec to present the case for Ontario in repiy to the demand of the Michigan lumbermen for the repeal of the provincial enactment prohupiting the exportation of saw logs to the United States, was officially confirmed last night.It has not yet been settled whether the Premier will argue the question alone, or whether counsel will be engaged to assist him.If Mr.Hardy deems that the interests of the province require it, he will no doubt call to his aid eminent legal advice, but it is not possible to say what steps will be taken until something definite is known as to the shape in which the matter will come before the conference.The Premier will no doubt be able to make a strong presentation of the province\u2019s case, owing to his lengthy administration of the Crown Lands Department.\u2026e is thoroughly conversant with the nature and scope of the regulations affecting timber limits, and moreover, is responsivie for the present legislation on the statute books.The premier will not be able to leave for Quebec for a few days, as his presence here is required in connection with matters arising out of the meeting of the Legislature.But it is thought he may start for the east towards the latter part of next week.B.0.is Too Poor.Victoria, B.C., August 24.\u2014The Provin- ciai Government has decided not to send any representative to Quebec to watch British Columbia interests at the international conference.The cost would be too great in the present depleted state of ths treasury.The new Government will, however, prepare a memorandum for submission to the British members of the conference setting out clearly the views of the Gcvernment on all these questions and points on which it asks for action for the preservation of provincial interests.Even were an accredited agent sent from here, he would, of course, have no standing before the conference, and could only urge on the British members the views entertained by his Government.It is, therefore, a question whether these could not be clearly set out in a memorandum so as to enable Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his colleagues to underdtand them, and be shown that any disregard of them would seriously prejudice British Columbia\u2019s interests, SEXTON MURDER CASE.| Minnie Sexton Has Been Sent Up For Trial For Killing Her Sister With a

Briiish Columbia Legislature Gives Him a Lot of Trouble.Victoria, B.C., Aug.24 \u2014(Special.)\u2014 A sensational incident in connection with the petitions transpired to-day.Mr.S.N.Smith, the member-elect for.Wot Lillooet, was served at his home in Lill- noet with notice of a petition said to have been filed against him by one Joseph H.Johnston, together with a copy of the alleged petition and of the receipt of tha registrar of the Supreme Court for $2,000 deposited as security.Mr.Smith, in con- Sequence, came to Victoria to look after his Interests in the matter and put the papers in the hands of his solicitor, Mr.Gordon Hunter.On taking up the case Mr.Hunter found that no petition had been filed and that the registrar had not received such money or issued the receipt, the alleged copy of which was served on Mr.Smith.The proceedings set out in the bogus Papers are in the name of D.8.Wallbridge, solicitor for the petitioner, whose address is given as Vancouver, and they bear what purports to be his signature.They were served on Mr.Smith by Mr.Samuel Gibbs, a notary public of Lillooet.The affair ig to be rigidly investigated, especially the origin of the receipt for

Order for That Station, eee T THE INQUEST WAS ADJOURNED, Sherbrooke, Aug.24.\u2014(Special.)\u2014 Last night at the American House an inquest was held on the body of the unfortunate fireman, Albert Laroche, who was the only victim of the collision of the two freight trains yesterday morning on the G.T.R.between Lennoxville and Wa- terville.The body was lodged in the debris of the two engines, and was mangled beyond recegnition.The deceased was, of middle age, and leaves a widow and three children.The coroner gave instructions to have the remains taken to Laroche\u2019s home and family at Richmond.The injured, whose names appeared in yesterday\u2019s Herald, are reported as doing well.Mr.Irwin is more seriously injur ed than it was at first thought, though he is not fatally burt.Both legs are bros ken, besides the body is badly bruised.The damage is great.Both engines are completely destroyed, and the first ve or six cars of each train are broken to pieces.The contents of three cars were spilled about the track.Barrels of fiour, lard and other merchandise were scattered in all directions.The freight, No.94, was going up-grade at about fifteen miles an hour, while No.93 was travelling at double that speed.As they met at the curve, the engine of train 94 rose its full length and turned over on its side.Both trains remained on the track, and the untouched cars at each end of the trains were taken to Lennoxville and Water- ville.The big gang of men of the wreckage train were not long in clearing the track for regular traffic.The bend where the trains met is called \u201cWashout curve,\u201d and is considered a dangerous point.Already several accidents have occurred thera.i \u2019 Men Have Too Much Work.It was stated by the witnesses at tha inquest that the train hands on the G.T.R., as well as the station agents in small places, had more work impae-?upon them than they could successfully do.Many men were doing the work of two, and where so much responsibility was thrown upon them, it was not to be wondered at that such accidents as occurred to-day would happen.The jury was composed of the following: Foreman, C.F.Oliver; H.J.Duffet, Louis Oliver, W.J.Leonard, Charles Pierce, Henry Velleaux, Jos.Frechette, P.A.Hovey, R.Price, James McDonnell, James Johnson, John Lowe.Mr.Marchand, conductor on the east- oing freight, was the first witness.He eft Richmond at 5.35 in charge of train 94 for Island Pond, with the deceased, Albert Laroche, as fireman, and McCourt, brakeman.He knew, by instructions, that he had to cross 93 at Waterville.He had no counter-orders, so he proceeded as usual.On schedule time both 93 and 94 cross at Waterville at 5.15.He received a clearance order at Lennoxville to cross at Waterville.He had 17 cars with a van, and was going up-grade about two and a half miles west of Waterville at a bend called \u201cWash-out curve.\u201d This was about 8.40 o\u2019clock.He knew nothing of the train coming, and when they met he was knocked senseless for a few moments.When he recovered he at once began to assist in helping the woundzd.He missed his fireman, but continued searching untu he found him pinned in the debris of the two engines.He obeyed orders, and was running about the regular speed.He left Lennoxville at 8.15, and was then three hours and forty minutes late, but was trying to gain time, though at the point where the trains met he was going at regular speed.The Other Conductor.Herbert Begin, conductor of freight 93, going west, was the second witness.Nine- ty-three is a daily except on Mondays.The schedule time to leave Island Pond is 2.31 a.m.He left at 5.25, reaching Waterville at 8.15, but was due there at 515.He left Waterville at 8.30, schedule time, without orders from the operator at Waterville.He was not aware that he had to cross 94 at Waterville.If he had known it he would not have left the yard.Here the witness was asked several questions about his duty regarding instructions to proceed, to which he answered : \u201cTo tell the truth, I did not think about having to cross 94°\u2019 When the trains met he was in the van, and had seventeen cats.He got no clearance order, nor did he ask for one.He told the station agent at Waterville his orders and the signals he was under, and the agent told him to go on.His fireman was Joe Kerr, driver J.Kelley, and Chas.Bellows brakeman.The coroner\u2014 \u2018Were you obliged, according to the new G.T.R.schedule system, to get a clearance order to proceed, and where were you expected to cross 94 that morning ?Witness\u2014\u201cOur old time-table shows that we can cross 94 at any station, though Waterville is the point scheduled to cross, and that is of course with dispatcher\u2019s order.I got no orders from Water- ville.I did not ask for any.The thought never entered my mind, so for that I suppose I am in fault.The semaphore was all right to go.There is no switchman at Waterville, and the agent has that work to do.\u201d Juryman\u2014\u201cDo you consider the agent to blame for not keeping the semaphore up ?Witness\u2014 \u201cWe would not have proceeded if the semaphore was not drop- red.There was nothing to indicate that we had no right of way, and the agent said nothing about 94.\u201d Mr.Fraser, juryman\u2014*\u201cWas it the duty of the agent under such circumstances that morning at Waterville to turn the board or drop the semaphore 27 Witness\u2014\u201cIt is the duty of any agent or any of the staff to protect any train or train hands arriving in the yard.\u201d

train Kelley shouted, \u201cJump for your life.Kelley Jumped first, followed by witness, who Was only slightly injured.The train was Tunning at the usual speed.Both trains were late, and it is customary to get orders, but in this case they did not get orders.He knew nothing of having to fross 94.Kelley applied the Westing- flouse brake and reversed the engine and Jumped.At Coaticook the engineer spoke to him about crossing the \u201cScoot,\u201d but said nothing about 94.The semaphore had not been dropped; if it had the train Would not have passed it, for it is almost Impossible to

CAUGHNAWAGA.A Large Number Take in the Annual Pilgrimage to Oka\u2014A New Hardship.Caughnawaga, August 24.\u2014(Bpecial.)\u2014 The annual pilgrimage of the Caughna- waga Indians to Oka took place yesterday under the direction of Rev.J.G.Forbes, missionary of Caughnawaga.Over seven hundred people, with a number of clergy- wen, left in the morning on the steamer Duchess of York.The neighboring locali- lies supplied their quota of pilgrims.For some unknown reason, the C.P.R.officials have issued strict orders to forbid anyone to cross afoot on their bridge between here and Lachine.Three\u201c police- nen are detailed to carry out the order.Since the bridge was built about thirteen years ago, Indians crossed every day without any hindrance, and find the closing ot the bridge a great hardship.Many are employed in Lachine, and crossed on the ridge to go to their place of work.For the present they use boats, but cannot do so in winter, when through the act of the C.P.R.officials they will be compelled to remain in idleness at home.There being no factory here, nor any work for laborers, except in Lachine, this new order will be the cause of severe hardship to a large number of Indian families.Indians are much exercised over this act of the C.P.R., and claim that there was no necessity for such severity.The Indian boys\u2019 school house, on the Reserve, has undergone a change for the better.A new belfry, with a bell, has been placed in the centre of the building.The belfry is the gift of our member, 5 P, Brown, M.P.for Chateaugua >, who in this Wise expresses his gratitude to the Indians for having given him in Caughna- waga a majority at the last elections, and the bell was given by Hiram A.Calvin, of Calvin & Co, of Garden Island, near Kingston, and ex-M.P.for Frontenac.Numerous thefts of horses from the Ceughnawaga Commons are reported.Tramps, who this summer are more numerous, are suspected of being the guilty var- ties.Those Indians of St.Regis who, like their fellow-agitators of Caughnawaga, want to return to the system of chiefs, of the kind in vogue hundreds of years ago, have received notice from the Federa Government that it will not tolerate an system which will impede the progress and welfare of its wards.In the meantime until the Government system is accepted by the St.Regis Indians, Indian Agent Geo.Long, with the local missionary, is carrying on the local Indian government.TO HONOR THE MAYOR, St.Lambert Citizens Will Celebrate the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of His Hntry Into Public Life.The friends of Mr.Raymond Prefontaine, Q.C., Mayor of Montreal, and ex-M.P.for the County of Chambly, are organizing a demonstration in his favor on the occasion of the twenty-tifth anniversary of his entry into public life.At a large meeting of the cltizens of St.Lambert, held at the Town Hall on Tuesday evening, the 23rd einst., a committee was named, composed of: President, Mayor A.J.Whimby; vice-presidents, James Wright and E.Perras; secretary-treasurer, Dr.Merrill Desaulnieres ; committee, Messrs.Joseph Horsfall, A.Patenaud, Jas.Beatty, Joseph Trudeau, A.E.Harvey, L.Betournay, Harry Williams, Predhomme and V.Trudeau, to act with the committees in Montreal and the dif ferent parishes of the Counfy of Chambly in making a success of the demonstration.It was moved by A.E.Harvey, advocate, seconded by A.Patenaud, and resolved: That the citizens of St.Lambert are happy to participate in this demonstration in honor of Mr.Raymond Prefontaine in order to show their appreciation of his high intellectual qualities and to give testimony to his devotedness to the interests of Chambly County, which\" He represented for so long a period.Resolved, That the president and secretary forward a copy of these resolufions and a copy of tM minutes of this meeting to the central committee of organization in Montreal and to wait upon the officers of said committee in order to perfect plans for the demonstration.ALMOST A MURDER, ' \u2014\u2014 Two Valleyfield Residents Get Into a.Fight and One Is Renderéd Uncon scivus.Valleyfield, August 24.\u2014(Special.)\u2014 Monday afternoon the people of Valley- field were thrown into a state of excitement over a reported murder case.A man of the name of Alexandre Delarande keeps a boarding-house in Bellerive, Amongst those who boarded with him was one Ovila Gaulry, an employe in the stone quarry.It appears that Delarande had heard something detrimental to Gaulry, and asked him to find a fresh boarding place.They got to words, and Gaulry refused to leave.Delarande then went out and got a warrant for Gaulry\u2019s arrest.On coming home he was met by the latter, who attacked him.Gaulry pummelled Delarande to such an extent that

Season.Mr.J.B.Sparrow will devote his personal attention to the management of the Queen\u2019s Theatre, which is at present in possession of a corps of mechanics and artists preparing the interior anew for the opening of the regular season, which takes place on Monday afternoon, September 5th (Labor Day).Many alterations and additions will be made in the interior, ail tending towards the comfort and convenience of its patrons.One of the most important of these is a new system of electric lighting.While the Queen\u2019s has ever been especially bright and safe in this respect.Manager Sparrow concluded to make this change with others, which will bring the Queen\u2019s up to the latest improved model of 1900.The new electrical system has been thoroughly reconstructed and approved by the electrical inspection department, the actual work being done under the supervision of Mr.W.J.Piews.Mr.Sparrow has added the Queen\u2019s Assembly hall and parlors, and the \u2018arm arches between these and the lobby wil be thrown open, that these commodious rooms may he used by the patrons of the theatre befrre the play and between acts, lt is the intention to cater to their every want, and in this part will be located reading and writing rooms, where nearly all the local and papers from other cities will be kept on file.There will be entle- men\u2019s smoking and toilet rooms, while pri- vue retiring rooms for the ladies will be in charge of the matron of the theatre.Mr.W.A.Edwards, who represents Mr.Sparrow in his several theatres, wus seen by a reporter yesterday.Mr.Edwards is at all times a very busy man.Still he found time to say : Tt is true! we are spending considerable money on the Queen\u2019s, and we expect great things ! from it this year.The attractions at pre-| sent booked are far above those of former | seasons, and it is safe to say that no other theatre on the American continent offers as good a list at the moderate prices asked for the best seats.It must be understood that in the Academy we will play only the very largest companies travelling, and many which were formerly booked there have been placed at the \u201cQueen's, where the top price will be only ffty cents for the best seats.| À The regular fall and winter season wil open on Monday, September 5th, with a special matinee.The entertainment will consist of an excellent presenfation of Broadhurst\u2019s very funny comedy, \u201cWhat Happened to Jones.\u201d This comedy was seen and greatly enjoyed by hundreds in this city last season, when the demand for teats was so great that we were obliged to extend the engagement from one to two weeks, an unusual thing in Montreal theatricals.lt is the intention to play as many of the current comedy successes as possible, and it is only by dealing in a liberal manner with the New York managers that we are now in a position to say that ia all its history Montreal has never had d fine a ot of attractions as will be put on the boards this coming season,\u201d and the Wueen\u2019s has by far the best of it.We have already thirty weeks booked at the Queen\u2019s, and we have booked \u201cWhat Happened to Jones,\u201d \u201cBlack Patti,\u201d \u201cThe Oft Brothers,\u201d \u201cBobby Gaylor,\u201d \u201cShore Acres\u201d (first time in Montreal of this great play), John E.Toole, the great English comedian; Robert Mantell, \u201cThe Vie- toria Cross,\u201d Marie Wainwright, \u201cThe Enemy to the King,\u201d Isham\u2019s \u201cOctor.oons,\u201d Lillian Kennedy, \u201cHogan\u2019s Alley,\u201d \u201cThe Circus Clown,\u201d Joe Ott, Donnelly & Girard in \u201cNatural Gas,\u201d \u201cHigh Old Time,\u201d \u201cNancy Hanks,\u201d the famous scorcher, \u201cEddie Ball,\u201d in his new comedy, Hoyt\u2019s \u201cTexas Steer,\u201d and many others of equal merit.You will observe from those I have mentioned that we are sticking close to comedy and will boom drama bnly of great merit.We will make of the Queens just what the uptown portion of Montreal demands, and that is a first class theatre with every modern conveai- ence, where the current successes may be seen without danger of bankruptey to the purchaser of tickets.Ever since its erection the Queen\u2019s Theatre has been the prettiest theatre in Canada.It is bright, cosy, well lighted and heated, while the ventilation is perfect; but, asids trom these facts and its sp'en- did location, it is on the liberal and up-to- date lines upon which it will be conducted that its success depends.In adding the halls and rooms so long used by A.Roy Macdonald, jr., we are in a better position to cater successfully to our patrons.\u2014\u2014\u2014 Letter Thief Caught.Brantford, August 24.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Fred, Pollard, a porter employed dt the Belmont Hotel, was arrested upon the serious charge of stealing some money from a letter addressed to a guest at the hotel.Pollard brought the mails from the post- office, and for some time it was suspected that the lad had been confiscating money letters, and a decoy letter was sent through the post-office containing three twenty-five-cent pieces, and addressed to a traveller.This disappeared also, and led to Pollard\u2019s arrest.He was remanded for a week.Prosperous Galicians.Winnipeg, August 24.\u2014(Special.)\u2014E.H.Taylor, of the Immigration Department, hea zeturaed after an inspection of the | land Galician settlements at Crooked Lakes and Beaver Hills.They made a minute inspection of 1,200 people in these settlements, and their report is entirely favorable to this class of settlers.They found only one case of infectious disease.The houses are built of logs, provided with furniture of their own construction, and all have good gardens, ranging from one-half to two acres in size, and are making efforts to secure cattle.When they have cattle they show by the good stables they put up and the amount of hay they secure, even though they have to cut it with a scythe and carry it home on their backs, that they know how to take care of the stock.Most of the men are away wollg ing for farmers or on the railway, and with the money thus earned they are enabled to purchase stock.TAKING IN HAWAII, The Raising of the American Flag Was a Sad Spectacle, Says the New York Sun.New York, Aug.24.\u2014The Post says: The actual raising of our flag over the Hawaiian Islands was not, writes the vl Honolulu correspondent of the Sun, \u201cas joyous an occasion as far-off America may imagine.\u201d The natives disappeared from the streets, not being able to bear the sight of their own flag hauled down and their \u201cnationality snuffed out like a spent candle.\u201d There was no music, for the native band had thrown away their instruments, and would not play.There was as little spcech-making as possible, and only dismal attempts at cheering.Admi- val Miller, in charge of the ceremonies, perceived that the whcle thing was in- tenscly distasteful to \u2018the natives, and had the good sense to eut it short.\u201cIt was but arcther roll of the Juggernaut car in which the lordly Anglc-Saxon rides to his dream of universal crapire.\u201d\u201d When

Jubilee Victoria Bridge was put in its place yesterday, and thus preetically completed the work on the superstrue- ture proper of the bridge.Work will be at once commenced on the placing of the roadways at the side, but the most important part of the business is to get the double tracks down before the heavy travel commences in the autumn.In order to do that it will be necessary to rush with all possible speed the work of removing the old tube.Pneumatic machines are being made to expedite the work, which would otherwise have.to be done by hand, which naturally would con- -sume a lot of time.Night and day gange of men will be kept at work on the dril- ing out of the thousands of rivets in the old structure, and it is hoped in about sixty days to have the double tracks in operation.Now that the tubing has been removed from one span of the bridge both light and air is admitted and it gives a pleasing idea of what the bridge will be when completed.Tenders for Torpedo Boats.Washington, D.C., Aug.24\u2014The Navy Department opened bids at noon yesterday for sixteen torpedo boat destroyers and twelve torpedo boats, to cost in the aggregate not exceeding $6,900,000, as provided in the last naval appropriation act.The destroyers are to be completed within eighteen months, and the torpedo boats within twelve months.The destroyers cre to be about 400 tons, and are to cost not more than $295,000 each, while the torpedo boats are to be about 150 tons and to cost not more than $170,- 060 each.Representatives of all the great shipbuilding firm were present when the bids were opened.'The bids, plans, etc, were piled several fcet high, and there promised to be muah delay and confusion.Some of the department officials thought it would take two weeks to get the bids fully tabulated, as they took a wide range, because of the department\u2019s call for two classes of propositions, one based strictly on the department\u2019s plans and others based on individual ideas of the builders, all essential requirements being followed.Two Ontario Fires.Lakefield, Ont, Aug.24\u2014The steamer Golden City was burned to the water's edge at the Government dock Tere Monday

the Manitoba school question has been settled.He has just returned from Rome, and in an interview said : \u201cThe Pope is exceedingly reasonable in reference to the school question, and if our authorities would only consider the attitude of His Holiness, they would willingly agree to concede what he asks, \u201cIt would be an excellent move,\u201d continued His Grace, \u201cif some of our legislators could personally interview His Holiness on the question.\u201d Questioned as to the statement of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, during the last sessions of Parliament, to the effect that negotiations had resulted in a final adjustment of the differences between the Roman Catholic minority and the educational authorities of Manitoba, Archbishop Lange- vin gave it an emphatic denial.\u201cWhile I do not wish to be understood as reflecting any discredit on the statement of Sir Wilfrid personally,\u201d said His Grace, \u201cor in any way connecting his name with the question, I wish to state emphatically that anyone who says there has been a satisfactory adjustment of the difficulty says that which is not in conformity with the truth.\u201cIf,\u201d continued His Grace, \u201cthe Lau- rier-Sifton conference at Rat Portage has resulted in any settlement, it is news to me.The school question will only be settled when the minority receives a full and adequate restoration of the rights of which they have been deprived, and then, and not till then, will the agitation cease.\u201d As to the result of the audience between His Holiness and himself, His Grace declined to give any information, other than emphasizing the great interest manifested by the head of the Church in reference to the matter, and his desire to see peace restored.The Roman Catholic schools in Manitoba, though impoverished financially, are making satisfactory progress.Questioned as to the health of the Pope, His Grace states that His High ness still possesses to a wonderful de: gree his mental faculties, although he pny- sically is very feeble.Only those who visit the Vatican on the most urgent business™ are received in audience, and then om]y for as brief a time as possible.THE FLOWER SHOW.Gardeners\u2019 and Florists\u2019 Society Have Their Monthly Exhibition \u2014 The Prize List.The monthly flower show of the Gardeners\u2019 and Florists\u2019 Society was

having had to sit I had consulted physicians both in England and Canada without obtaining any permanent relief and tried many remedies with the same result.A friend who had been cured by Dr.Clarke's Kola Compound advised me to try it.And three bottles bave entirely cured me.It is now nearly two years since my recovery, and asthma has not troubled me since.I feel very grateful to Dr.Clarke for introducing this remedy.I have frequently recommended it to those suffering as I was,.and do not know of a single case where the required number of bottles have been taken See that you get | Free

Authority.Boston, Mass, Aug.23.\u2014A Boston Jour- mal reporter interviewed Rear Admiral Sampson on the train to Washington.Admiral Sampson was reminded that Admiral Colomb, the English naval authority, had said that this war had taught no lessons in naval architecture or naval strategy.\u201cIf he said that,\u201d was the comment, \u201cI do not agree with him, for the war has taught a great many things.For one thing, it has shown the necessity of making ships in war fireproof.It won\u2019t suffice merely to make the woodwork fireproof, in my opinion, for there are objections to the process, and it involves unnecessary expense.Ships ougut to be built practically without woodwork at all.and there is no good reason why this cannot be done.After the way in which the woodwork of the Spanish ships caught tire, causing the destruction of the ships, there can be no question about the importance of this change.\u2018The trouble with Colomb may be tnat he has always been an advocate of torpedo boats.We are not hkely to hear so much about torpedo-boats as we used to hear before the war.At the same time, it must be remembered that torpedo boats have never had a really fair test.They have always been faulty in (From Toronto Globe.) THIS CERTIFICATE Brings Forth a Story.BOwMANVILLE, ONT., We, the undersigned, certify that the health of the Rev.R.A.Bilkey has for months jl been deteriorating, and that he is now suffering from severe nervous prostration, and urgently requires immediate and prolonged rest.J.W.McLaughlin, M.D., A.Beith, M.D.,, L.Holland Reid, M.R.C.8,, etc.THIS INTERVIEW TELLS IT.A reporter called on the Rev.R.A.Bilkey, rector St.John's (Episcopal) Church, Bowmanville, Ontario, during a church funotion, and on congratulating him on the great change for the better in his appearance, the reverend gentleman said, \u201cIt is due entirely to Dr.Ward's Blood and Nerve Pills.\u201c1 suffered for over three years from extreme nervousness, weakness and prostration, and could not obtain relief, A few months ago it became only too apparent that extreme nervous prostration ad set in, as I lost flesh and appetite rapidly.Three of our four medical men pronounced me in urgent need of immediate and prolonged rest in order to build up my nervous system, giving me a certificate to that effect.About this time, by ure accident, Dr.Ward's Blood and erve Pills were brought to my notice.I decided to try them, and on doing so a decided change for the better took place at onte, the pills, with continued and marked bené- fit and improvement.My appetite has returned.I am gaining in flesh steadily, and my general health is now good, Further, I am sure that these results are due to the action of Dr.Ward's Blood and Nerve Pills, and I have every confidence that they will do for others ail that they have done for me.\u201d Dr.Ward's Blood and Nerve Pills are sold at 50c.per box, 5 boxes for $2, at Pacs or railed on receipt of price by e Dr, Ward Co.74 Vic , , .PAR a Cou toria Btxoet, Toronto.Book of in I have since continued taking on; necessary qualities have been sac i to speed.Lhere is no good reason \u2026\u2026, a torpedo-boat should have a Speea or more than 24 or25 miles an hour, but it is thought so important to have them speedy that they have been made too light, and in some instances they are little better than egg-shells.The torpedo- boat has its uses, but it ought to be built according to right ideas.\u201d Admiral Sampson, asked about the nig guns, replied :\u2014*\u201cThe big guns will always be needed.There is work which they can do, and which is out of the question for the smaller calibre.\u201cWhen it comes to mor the high calibre guns must be brought into action.The armor-piercing capacity of a gun is almost exactly pro- Fortioned to its calibre.For instance, an 8-inch gun can pierce 8-inch armor, a 12- inch gun 12-inch armor, and so on, Yes the big guns are needed.\u2019 \u201cthen there is the question of smokeless powder.Our ships ought to be supplied with smokeless powder for several rea- crs.First and most important is the great advantage in velocity.Ships using blast powder are at a disadvantage, too, from the fact that when one gun has been discharged, the gun next to it must wait until the smoke has cleared away before the target can be sighted.These are among the reasons why smokeless powder ls to be preferred to any other.\u201d A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.Senseless Practical Joke May Result in a Young Lady's Death, cons Piercing heavy ar- A very serious incident occurred on Friday evening last, which up to now has been carefully kept back from the knowledge of the public.It would not be published now but that the authorities hope through the medium of the press to obtain a clue to the perpetrators of an outrage which may result in the death of a highly respected young lady.been a common It has : practice of late, particularly in the north end of the city, for certain persons mischievously inclined to place cartridges on the street railway track, to the great annoyance of the employees and alarm of nervous passengers, The company has tried everything to stop this practice without success.On Friday evening, Miss Kennedy, daughter of Mr.Kennedy, of Dorchester Street, the well-known horse-owner, was travelling on an Amherst street car, when after passing DeMontigny Street, the car struck a number of these small cartridges placed at short distances on each side of the rails.The car was going at a high rate of speed, but the young lady was go alarmed at the loudness and continuity of e reports that she ju: 1 to thy is th Jumped from the car She struck the pavement on the back of her head, and with such terrific force that the skull was fractured.The unfortunate voung lady was unconscious for more than twelve hours, and her condition to-day is such as to cause the greatest fears as to her recovery.Meanwhile every effort is being made to bring the people who caused this sad a : eople flair to justice in order to make such an example that the idiotic practice will be put a stop to for good and all.rs Ottawa Case Adjcurned.Ottawa, August 24.\u2014The motion to commit for contempt of court the Warren- Scharf Company, the corporation of O+- tawa, and Mayor Bingham, of Ottawa, for alleged breach of the injunetion restricting them from continuing the work of laying an asphalt pavement on Queen street, Ottawa, was made before Justice Falcon- bridge yesterday by Barrister W.Wyld, of Ottawa.The case was sent over to Jus- | | we tice Rose, who adjourned the case for a Fast Black Hose.| THE HERALD, MONTREAL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1898.ZECDOOCOOO00 VIO © POOGOIPOOE DAILY HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS- | THURSDAY\u2014AUGUST 25.We live also by love.He who loves no one and is loved by no one, is only half alive.We need the daily bread of human affection.BREAKFAST, Fruit.Steamed Cracked Wheat, Ham, Toast and Eggs.Broiled Tomatoes.Bistuits.Coffee.DINNBR.Baked Calf\u2019s Head.Stewed Tomatoes.Mashed Ppatoes.Vegetable Salad.Bread.Pudding.Sauce.Wafers.Coffee.SUPPER.Cream Toast.Baked Apples and Pears.Gingerbread.Cold Biscuits.Jelly.Chooolate.Baked Calf\u2019s Head\u2014Clean thoroughly and cut in two.This divides the chop from the skull.Take out the tongue and the brains, Boil both halves, skimming well.Lift out the best half before too well done.Spread butter over, dredge on flour and dust a little pepper;

enabled them to furnish the most convenient station owned by the company.A Receiver Appointed.Vancouver, B.C., Aug.24.\u2014In regard to i the receivership for the Boston & Alaska Transportation Company, it must not be supposed that there is anything serious.The delay at St.Michael has caused delay in delivering the Dominion Government supplies, and, therefore, the company has not yet received payment irom (the Canadian authorities.A receiver was \u2018appointed to save unnecessary legal expense, as the following statement by Capt, James Carroll, the recevier, will show: Capt.Carroll, who has been appointed receiver and who was formerly general manager, claims that it was necessitated by the action of a number of small claim holders, who intended to libel the com- any\u2019s vessels and hold up the business I'he company\u2019s present assets exceed the liabilities by $395,966.40.A cash payment of $94,000 is soon due from the Canadian Government.The officials of the company say that the receivership will have no effect on their proposed line to Honolulu or on any of their Alaskan arrangements.The steamer Brixham on her ar- \u2018rival in Seattle last week was libelled by the North American Transportation Com- any.The libel was lifted on Tuesday, tbut had it not been for the receivership !several more plasters would have been put on.It was the intention of other parties to libel the other ocean vessels of the line, the Laurada and South Portland, jon their arrival at Seattle from St.Mich- \u2018tel, This would have tied up the whole ocean fleet and made their river fleet practically valueless.The company was without any ready cash to meet all bills that might be presented, and the receivership was the only way out of it.Receiver Carroll said that he thought the business affairs of the company would be straightened out in from sixty to ninety days.\u201cI saw that my ships were going to be tied up unless the step was taken and proposed to keep my fleet running.\u201d ra Cabled \u2018rom London.Toronto, Ont., \"Aug.23.\u2014(Speciäl.)\u2014Fol- lowing 18\u2019 special cable fo the Evening : Telegram.The Times and the Morning Standard both have editorials on the Quebec conference.Hope is expressed that the best results may follow; and that there may be a settlement of all disputes be- \u201ctween Canada and the United States.The Globe trusts that the British representatives at Quebec will not, for the sake nf propitiating the United States, agree to any | sacrifice of Canada's just demañds.The St.James Gazette concludes a column editorial on the same theme by saying: Canada is the mistress of her own destinies, and her capacity to guide them will largely depend upon her attitude at the present juncture., The Westminster Gazette curtly remarks it would be well not to expect too much.Sir John Bramston, K.C.M.G.who was Assistant Under Secretary of State for the Colonies from 1876 to 1897, and years ear- | lier Attorney-General for Queensland, has sailed for Newfoundland to attend the Royal Commission to enquire into and regulate certain difficulties in connection with the shore disputes and other matters affecting that colony.This commission was applied for and granted to Sir .John Winter during his recent visit to London.Killed by An Express.St.John, N.B., August 24\u2014The Halifax express yesterday afternoon killed Miss Josie Styles, daughter of Mr.Arthur Styles, of Dorchester Cape, and Capt.Alfred Bishop, at Coft crossing, one mile east of Dorchester station on the Inter- colonial.They were driving.The horse escaped, but the waggon was badly dam aged.Miss Styles\u2019 grandfather was kiiled in a similar way at the same crossing twenty-two years ago.The Prince the Same.London, Aug.24.\u2014The Lancet, referring to the recent injury to the Prince of Wales\u2019 knee, discourages the fear that the Prince will be permanently lame, and says: \u2018It will not be long before the Prince will be able to walk.Then his knee will be fitteu with a check splint, by which flexion will be actually controlled and a spring apparatus will perform the function of the extensor.With the leg thus cquipped short excursions will be made on crutches, but it will be many weeks before His Royal Highness will walk unaided.THE CONST \"TAB B EY'S Effervescent Salt Keeps you in excellent health the year \"round.It will be remembered that when the city !

24, 1898.and if anything were required to dem- monstrate this it ought to be seen in the appointment of four Canadians and one Englishman to adjust disputes which some perverse American journals insist on believing are between Great Britain and the United States alone.At the same time, it is pleasant to note that there is confidence amongst Americans in the good will and sincerity of the Canadian Commissioners.The Chicago Record expresses this view in the following terms: \u201cThe renewed friendship between Great Britain and the United States itself justifies the hope that the commissioners will undertake their work in the broadest spirit, safeguarding the interests of their respective countries, but endeavoring in each case to get a fair and honest decision.The fact that on the British side of the controversy the services of such men as Lord Herschel, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Richard Cartwright and Sir Louis H.Davies have been enlisted should be a guaranty of Great Britain's geod intentions.\u201d A new phase has entered into the situation since the peace protocol with Spain was signed.The maritime boards of trade have asked Sir Louis Davies to secure for Canadian fishermen free access to Cuba and Porto Rico.The Chicago Chronicle thus explains the situation : \u201cIn Cuba and Porto Rico we control the seat of a lucrative colonial Canadian trade in fish, which tariff regulation may destroy, just as the sugar of Cuba and Porto Rico promises to raise serious questions for the English West Indies.Canada prevented us from ratifying reciprveity treaties with Newfoundland and Jamaica; but this will be a more difficult task with the United States in control of two tropical islands which want the fish of Newfoundland and can ruin trade in the tropical products of Jamaica, Trinidad and the rest.\u201d Evidently it is high time something was done to get rid of all the old \"scores if new ones like this are to keep cropping up.Che

interesting circumstance, and one which will be looked to for an endless amount of argument in the near future, that the United States entered up- ou the somewhat costly luxury of a high protective tariff just at the time when Canada came under the administration of a party committed to tariff reduction.Tkere will be a period of five or ten years, perhaps, during which the two policies will be tested by results, and the lessons to be drawn therefrom can hardly fail to have a great influence in the economic policy of the future.Already there are some signs that variation in trade has been caused by this difference in policy.Both Canada and the United States have been favored with a good productive season during the fiscal year just ended, and good prices for products have resulted in large increases in txport trade.In seven months the exporte of the United States increased no less than 133 millions.Canada\u2019s exports in the fiscal year increased by twenty-two millions over 1897, and by more shan thirty-eight millions over 1806.So far, A =mmmmemnenun The trade of Great Britain with Canada and the United States, as presented by the latest returns, shows a ver: + , 7 herefore, a8 good crops and good prices peculiar condition, \u2018one which would crcoûraged the movement of the great strike terror into the hearts of staples of production, both countries had those who believe that a sur- the same pleasant experience.When, however, we turn to the import trade a different set of figures is forthcoming.Caa- ada\u2019s trade returns for the year show a gain of no less than twenty-one millions, or about sixteen per cent, while for the \u2018seven months the American import trade shows a falling off of nearly 130 millions.plus of exports over imports is the only reiiable sign of prosperity.The publica- ticn of the Canadian returns the other day irdicated that while Great Britain had 1m- ported goods to the value of 105 million dollars from Canada, we took in return only thirty-three millions.Disproportionate as these figures are, they are not The Canedian revenues, even With so bad as the figures for Anglo-American the lowered duties, are in the trade, for while Great Britain bouglit best condition, the Minister of Fi- from the United States goods to the value of 615 millions, the Americans took in re- tum only seventy-three millions.Cana- cians are a little inclined to reproach themselves with ingratitude when they find that only two-sevenths of our sales to Britain are paid for \u201cin trade,\u201d Lut we can go about with a placid smile and a wail-developed \u201cholier than thou\" feeling when we find that the Americans\u2019 prcportion, instead of being two in seven, is only about two in seventeen.This ti:ne next year, after the preferential tariff has really been operating in favor of Great Britain, and not in favor of all the kingdoms and principalities that could lay claim to favored nation privileges, we may find the proportion to be about two in five.In the same connection it is interesting to note that our aggregate trade with Great Britain amounts to about twenty-five dollars a head of our population, estimating the latter at five and a Lalf millions, while the trade of the States with Britain, on a basis of seventy- five millions of population, is only nine dollars a head.If the Americans are shutting us out of their market, we are returning the compliment across the water.Again, it is worth the while of Great Britain to reflect that Canada already takes almost half as much of British rance being able to present the country with a surplus of revenue over expendi ture of rather more than a million dollars, The American revenues, on the other hand, have shown a sad falling off, and the authoritles are now face to face with the necessity of continuing the emergency taxes imposed during the war.Thus while Canadians are experiencing a lowered taxation, the Americans are bearing a much- increased taxation in the shape of higher prices for articles of home production, .nd, in addition, a tax upon industry and business great enough to sustain a war.Which of these conditions is most likely to conduce to the national prosperity there is no need just now to speculate.There is plenty of money circulating in both countries, enough in the United States to pay even a war tax in time of peace without causing a panic.But when the reaction comes, when money is scarce, us it was in 1893, when banks are ready to fail and factories on the point of closing their doors, when crops are small and prices low, then the test will come.At present it is only necessary to say for Canada that with a lower tariff our business conditions are better than they bave been for very many years, and that while American manufacturers are threat- cning reductions of wages and even closing down, ours are busier than ever and in- «reasing their plant.The North-West, the hope of Canada, is filling up with hardy settlers, and what is even more encouraging than either increase in population or in volume of exports, public opinion in Canada is being raised to a higher plane, and there is more marked intolerance of anything like corrupting and corrupted classes.The London Chronicle diagnosed the case very well when it pointed out that under an enlightened Government (Canada had sprung forward on the path of progress, and that one of the first fruits of the new policy was the getting rid of the worst evils of protection, \u201cthat parent of corruption.\u201d It remains to be seen whether lower tariff in Canada or higher tariff in_the United States is the change that, head for head, we take six dollars worth of goods to their one.Comment is naturally excited by the fact that while Canada\u2019s exports to Britain exceed the exports to the United States by nearly sixty-four millions, or more than 150 per cent., the imports from the United States exceed those from Great Britain by more than fifty-three millions, or about 170 per cent., an absolute reversal, The disparity appears less glaring, however, when comparison is instituted between dutiable imports alone, when it is found that we imported $22,458,000 from Britain, as against $37,674,000 from the United States.The tendency is now for dutiable imports from Britain to increase, and for for the better.At present the indications the imports of those American favor Canada\u2019s choice.articles which have to compete \u2014 against British rivalry to decrease.This has already been very no- HOW THERE CONFERENCE IS REGARDED.If the American press fails to take a just view of the Quebec Conference it is largely because the behavior of former Canadian governments has not been such as to excite confidence in Canadian good will.This is indicated in the comment of the Philadelphia Ledger, à paper which gives much consi leration to Canadian affairs but which has unfortunately ben schooled into the idea that Canada is bent upon keeping the Trited States and Great itain at odds.Tr \"the past generation,\u201d the Ledger says, \u2018there has not been a serious contention, except the Venezuelan boundary dispute, between this couniry and England which has not had its origin in Canada or Newfoundland.Canada, whiz scemed ruled by the spirit of obstinacy and perverseness, has been a constant sour:e of irritation betwcen the United States and \u2018reat Britain.Every attiempt on the part of the two governments to arrive at an ~nderstanding on any Canadian question Tes been met, until the present, with \u2018the Pgply churlish,\u201d and every move has en- eountered the \u2018counter check quarrclrome on the part of Canada.We augur the best results from the character of the Canadian Commissioners, WO have always been promoters of more liberal intercourse with this country.\u201d This plain expression of the hope that a more reasonable policy 18 to be expec: cd of the Liberal administration 1s not ill founded.Our American contemporary will probably learn, however, that Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his colleagues have a very definite and @& very firm opinion of the right of Canada to have the commanding ticeable in the case of cotton.The largest item of difference between American and British imports into Canada appears in the duty-free class, of which we had from the States some forty-one millions ard from Britain less than ten millions.Much of this, of course, represents raw materials for Canadian manufactures, raw cotton, for example, proving a large item of importation from the United States.It is to be noticed also, in passing, that while our exports to Great Britain consisted for the most part of live stock and other ag- vicultural produce\u2014to a value of more than seventy-seven millions \u2014 the chief item of export to the United States was ot mining products, about fourteen millions, Forest products came next, but even they were under ten millions in value, as against nearly sixteen millions to Britain.Admiral Schley, Captain Evans, of the [owa, and Captain Clark, of the Oregon, the three cfficers who gained most distinction in the naval battle at Santiago, sre now on sick beds.Admiral Schley is suffering from nervous exhaustion, and the other two have this complaint and fever besides.This is one of the expected incidents of the war, for an English admiral some time ago expressed the opinion that the officers directing modern battleships must almost certainly break down after an hours fighting.The first exemplification of the truth of the prophecy was the fate of poor Captain Me- Giffen, the Amerfcan officer who commanded a Chinese battleship in the bat- tie of Yau.77: «tm sustained Bo severe a shock that he know netther \"oaîth nor rest aiter the engagement \u2018ras over.goods as does the United States, and .McGiffin, it is true, was badly \u2018wounded, and the present commanders are not, but it was admitted that what made his chance of recovery so precarious was the shock suffered from the incessant gun fire and the terrible strain of the conflict as he directed his own guns and watched the effect of those of the enemy as they went home upon his ship.One of the Spanish commanders in the Santiago engagement committed suicide, and an American captain at Manila died after the battle.It is to be hoped that a season of rest, with proper care and a northern climate, will restore the American officers to complete health.The rumor comes from British Columbia that Sir Hibbert Tupper will at once enter local politics, becoming \u2018leader of tac Conservative party in that Province, and make the contest in the coming elec tions on strictly party lines.It is not easy to believe that Sir Hibbert is prepared to relinquish his grip on Dominion politics, but there are those who will not be surprised should the report prove true.The prestige of the Tuppers has undoubtedly been greatly impaired by the return of Sir Charles to the leadership.Once when his recall wis mentioned a member of \u201che then Cabinet said it was not desirable it for no ther reason than that the services of Sir Hibbert would have to be dispensed with.Later on, when the disaffection against Sir Mackenzie Bowell was rife, Sir Hibbert was credited with entertaining the opinion that it would do no harm to put the Conservatives out of office for a term, as that would probably lead to a reorganization of the party and the cutting away of a lot of dead wood.In such a reorganization Sir Hibbert might reasonably hope to come to the front.In many ways he is the best qualified for leadership of all those who profess to lead the Opposition.He has much ability and much more courage than has ever been shown by Mr.Foster, his only possible rival.People like a good fighter, even though he be a trifle cocksure and somewhat of a superior person.But since Sir Charles came back people have come to think there has,been a surfeit of Tuppers, and the younger man may have to suffer in consequence.It will be a painful close of Lin career if Sir Charles finds that b, lingering uselessly on the stage he is re- terding Sir Hibbert\u2019s prospects and gaining neither thanks nor honor for himself.W.J.PALMER, Practical Watchmaker and Jeweller, 372 ST.ANTOINE STREET.Fine Watch Repairing, LIVERPOOL, LONDON & GLOBE Insurance

notice, The cause of the trouble is a long story.The management of the mill has for several years been working with a view of reducing the number of knots in the yarn, and to this end has increased the size of the bobbin.The girls in the spool room are paid so much per box for setting the bobbins and splicing the thread on the spool.The replacing of the small bobbins by the larger ones has been in progress for about a year, being put in gradually.It is claimed that the large bobbins, which furnish the same result, will not affect the wages of the girls, as they handle as many large bobbing as small ones.They went out on strike this morning, however, and as other hands could not be got at a moment's notice, the mill may remain closed down for some time.Three Rivers.Three Rivers, Aug.23.\u2014(Special.)\u2014If is probable that very few cities in Canada, if any, have their laboring class as fully employed as are the laborers of Three Rivers during the present season.Three large sawmills employ many, many hundreds of hands, To this number a fourth has been added recently, which will give employment to several scores.In addition to this the corporätion are carrying on extensive work in macadamizing several of the streets, affording steady work to a large number of men and horses.Besides this, quite a number of new houses are in course of erection, some old ones are undergoing extensive repairs, and the corporation is building an extensive shed on the T.R.A.A.A.skating rink ground, for housing their carts, wagons, etc.On these carpenters, plasterers, etc, find work.Because of all this there should not be pinching want in this city during the coming winter, A Government dredge is being built at Grandes Piles for operations on the St.Maurice river.he river is navigable from the Piles to La Tuque, a distance of about eighty miles.At present only small craft can go up, and at this time of the year much difficulty is experienced on account of lowness of the water at three or four points.It is intended to deepen the channel where required.When that is done it is likely that boats affording more accommodation than the resent ones will be found on the St.à

of any incriminating evidence against him, Louis Riopelle was honorably acquitted yesterday afternoon.In discharging the prisoner, the Recorder said it was much to be regretted that the accused had been kept in custody for two weeks under the Ban of such a grave accusation as that of ntur- der, when there was a total absence of any damaging evidence against him.The court further stated that when the charge was laid he had cautioned the complainant, but the latter had insisted on setting the machinery of the law in motion.Considering that from the evidence the prosecution had failed to make a case he would discharge the prisoner.The officers of The Crown were in no manner to blame for the regrettable circumstance.This morning the case of Andre Riopelle, counsel for the prosecution and defence will be heard in argument and judgment afterwards delivered.DRY DOCK SITE TENDERS.They Were Handed Over to the Chie?Engineer to Report on Before Being Considered by the Board.All the mebers of

| nenimous in their approval of the acon of the Royal St.Lawrence Yacht ong in returning the Seawanhaka chal- Chu p to the Seawanhaka-Corinthian Jub, and also in their denunciation of the latter club for the peculiar manner in which it exhibited its ideas of what is Proper and gentlemanly in sport.Where it has been a case in the past of an Am- CTICAN Versus anyone th States seemed to be particularly Pics to take the American side, no matter what the merits of the case might be.The present action of the American press signifies that \u2018there can be only one pos- «ible view of the case, and, as that is our view, we feel gratified.The Reawanhzka Club is placed in a most embarrassing position, and how it will extricate itself and still preserve itg dignity, is a problem which presents mo apparent solu- \u201con at present.Even if the remarkable ued which its members seem to possess of the manner in which a gentleman should act, has blinded their eyes to the -act that they behaved shamefully, the press of their own country surely has impressed it upon them ere this, and even if they disagree with the findings of the Papers, they must perceive that public feeling is against them, and that a full and complete apology to the Canadians is ia order.It is therefore surprising that such an action has been so long delayed, 4s the matter grows more serious with procrastination.No one envies them thelr position.Those Hamiltonians ere an ambitious lot of sportsmen, and are to be commended for the more than generous manner \u2018in which, they support anything that partakes , the nature of manly and fair sport.But that perfectly justifiable desire to add fresh laurels to their record 1s apt to lead them into places where they would perhaps not tread were they to give u little more deliberation to the matter before they set out.Their present avowed intention to challenge for the Sea.wanhaka Cup as soon as it returns to its worshippers at Oyster Bay is a case in point.A Canadian club has been grossly insulted, and to resent that insult, 1s returning to its original owners a trophy over which the ill-feeling was caused.Phis is un intimation that it is desirable to end gi intercourse between the clubs.Would it not look better if other Canadian yacht clubs held aloof also, and refused to make any move until the last of the trouble was heard of ?Hamilton should not be in too great a hurry in « pening negotiations with a club that hita not yet apologised for a mrost disgrace- f*l action.It_was an international race, and the affront was international also, and I think all will agree that Canada should refusc to recognize the cup in any way until the breach has been closed.It is a dignified course to adopt, and now is the time for all Canadian yachtsmen to preserve the same dignity as have the members of the Royal St.Lawrence Yacht Club.It is to be hoped that the return of the cap will have the effect of improving the class of boats that the members of the «club will turn their attention to.The raters are failures as anything else than mere racing machines, and with the constant duty of defending the Seawanhaka Cup before the club only the raters were encouraged.The club has a fleeË of these cxpensive and unserviceable boats on hand, and as long as it holds the cup the fleet will increase, whereas with the cup out of the way the members of the club can devote their attention to boats of a more desirable and comfortable de- sim, The youmger members of the club can be encouraged if nil kinds of boats receive attention.The most practical safeguard against the construction of bouts in which everything is sacrificed is the adoption of one design, such as the Seawanhaka Club has done.Jt has thirty or forty serviceable boats all built from the same design, and races in them are trials of skill between the different dkippers.To drop the raters and adopt a class of comfortable boats, all of the same design, might infuse much more interest in sailing in the members of the Royal St.Lawrence Club.The tome of the old country press and the reports that travel over the water seem to clearly indicate that the leading yachtgmen of Great Britain do not view with favor the challenge of Sir Thomas Lipton for the America\u2019s Cup.There are two reasons for this.linglishmen have not yet forgotten the Dunraven incident of a few years ago, nor have they altered their opinion that the Americans were in the wrong.Under the circumstances they would rather have seen something done to smooth over the Dunraven affair before another challenge was sent for the cup.It is much the same way now with the Hamilton Club, as stated above.Americans cannot lose, and the last troupie would indicate that the London Graphic is right when it predicts more harm than good from the Lipton challenge.\u2018The other reason is that Sir Thomas is not & yachtsman.lt seems Le has been telling an interviewer phat he has been cruising frequently, which makes it appear that he is aware he has been objected to as being no yachtsman, and is anxious to prove his status.But \u201c the members of the Royal Yacht Squad- on never heard of him as a yachtsman, they say, and that it would have looked Letter if the challenger hed been one that had long been prominent in the vachting world.However, Sir Thomas has the solid approval of the masses, and everyone on the tight little island across the water wishes him success.Especially does every Irish heart beat the faster when the announcement is made that the oat will be Irish from bowsprit to rudder.With Shamrock for a name, sons of Ireland for a crew, \u201cErin go Braugh !\u201d fer à war cry, and potatoes as the chief article of diet, there will be no resist- ine the onward sweep of the great cat as she will run her nose through \u2018he green waves of the Atlantic seaboard.More power to Sir Thomas\u2019 el- LOW.The annual race for the Lake of Two \u2018fountains challenge cup takes place next Saturday afternoon.Local yachtsmen al- wavs look forward to this event, and it is always successful from both a sporting and social standpoint.The beautiful erounds of the summer residents along the lake will be thrown open to visitors, und every facility for making it an en- jovable afternoon afforded.The race for \u201cle challenge cup will be called as soon ns possible after one o\u2019clock, and will be followed by the annual race for cruising vachts.Both will be over a triangular course, four and a half miles around, two circuits being the distance the yachts will so.The challenge race is open to any Toat, whether it has one or a dozen hulls.The 1.30 train from the city will be the niost convenient for those going out.A tug will leave the Royal St.Lawrence Yacht Club at nine o'clock in the morning with the yachts in tow.Entries can be made with Mr.À.E.James atreet.|, Abbott, 202 St.| RHE HERALD, MONTREAL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUSIL 24, iu.[TWAS A GREAT VICTORY FOR THE CANADIAN TURF, Martimas, Owned by Wm.Hendrie, of Hamilton.Captured the $35,000 Futurity Stake Yesterday.h BETTING WAS FORTY TO ONE.a mm The Tartan and Yellow Showed a Very Big Field the Way to the Wire, as\u201d the Noble Martimas Won as He Pleased.New York, Aug.23.\u2014Fifteen thousand people witnessed Martimas, at the long odds of 40 to 1, win the great Futurity Stakes at Sheepshead Bay to-day, High Degree coming in second, while the public choices were nowhere.The day was excessively hot.The delay at the post was the longest on record in this country, even beating Pettingills Chicago Derby, which was an hour and thirty minutes, Rey El Santa Anita then upsetting all calculations and winning just as an outsider did to-day.The hordes, the starter said, were wall behaved, and so he proceeded to administer fines ad libitum, and set down for a week four of the jockeys, ingluding Sloan, the idol of so many race-goers.The track was in excellent condition, and notwithstanding the extremely hot weather, the attendance was large, probably over 15,000.At the opening of the betting Autumn was à favorite over the Fleischman stable, Dr, Fichberg and Sir Hubert, and at the end was really the favorite, although his price was a little higher, but then it was one horse against two.The Madden string, Ulenuneim, Rhinelander and Scan- nél, were next in favoritism, and down in the ring, where it was like a furnace, the men tumbled over each other in their eagerness to put up their money on their choice, The parade to the post began at five minutes past four, and the twenty-three youngsters cantered up the track.They reached the post in short order and were soon lined up, waiting for the word with no starti ig uiachine to frighten them into fits.For fifteen minutes they cavorted around, and then the starter thought he had them in line and called them.It was a very rrgged line that came down to him, and he would not let them go.At 430 they had another trial, but Rusher and Armament were not ready, and they had to go back again for another trial.ve minutes later another break came, but tne lot was in bad shape, and so again they went back.Only three minutes clapsed before the fourth .bad break came, with Degree chief offender this time.The fifth and sixth breaks came in quick succession, the latter being at a quarter to five.The twentieth and last break came at 5.37, exactly one hour and thirty-two minutes after they reached the pest.and for so many young- isters it was really a good start.They were practically in line, the only one really out of it being Duke of Mid- dieburg, who was, to all intents and purposes, left at the post.High Degree was the first away, with a little the better of Prestidigitatrice, Rusher, Sir Hubert, His Lordship, Scannel and Martimas, the others being close enough to have a dhance.Maher, the quick-witted lightweight, saw very plainly that in such a large bunch of horses the further he got away and the better position he had when it came to swinging into the main track was his chance to get the big stake for his employer.So he dug his heels into High Degree, that beautiful little daughter of His Highness, and set sail for the pole.In a few strides the filly had her nos¢ in front of Rusher, W.C.Daly\u2019s colt.Inch by inch at first, then foot by foot, and when the first furlong had been covered High Degree was half a length in front of Rusher, while he was a couple of lengths in front of Autumn, on whom Taral was struggling hard in the deep going on the outside of the chute.Prestidigitatrice, the smart little filly of the Morris string, was only a neck \u201cbehind, with Scannel, Martimas, His Lordship and Sir Hubert following, and all the others well up.It was anybody\u2019s race then, for many knew that the two leaders were not sure.The chute was narrowing now, and all were seeking a good place in which to round the bend into the main track, for crowding was almost sure to come in a big field, and woe betide the jockey who got his horse into a pocket.Maher wanted the hard going on the rail, but Rusher clung to High Degree like a leech and would not be shaken off.Stride for stride they swung together, James apparently not wanting the rail and the shortest course, but he was in the wav of Maher, and the clever lightweight had to stay in the deep going.Two furlongs had been covered, and High Degree was still balf a length in front of Rusher, who was then only a neck in front of the favorite, Autumn, who was a nose in front of the Canadian Martimas, whom the astute jockey Lewis was working towards the rail, the spot little Danny Maher wanted also, and could not get, so persistently did Rusher hang on his flank.Prestidigitatrice was falling out of it, and Armament was getting prominent.Now came a hustle, for the turn was at hand, and it was high time for the winner to be in front.All the boys were working like demons to get to the front, for the judges\u2019 stand was in sight, and a straight course was ahead.Rusher £topped as if he had been shot, and then Maher did ride.Crouching low on the filly\u2019s neck, he drove her with hands and heels, and when there was but a quarter of a mile to go he was a good length and a half in front, but he did not dare to swing over against the rail now, as he was far out in the track.Lewis, however, had gradually worked to the rail, and as they turned into the home stretch he was in the coveted hard ground, and now Martimas was flying.He was already in second place at the quarter, two lengths in front of Rusher, who was a neck in front of Mr.Clay, who was in a bunch with Dr.Eichberg, Sir Hubert and His Lordship.Now the last furlong pole was reached, and little Maher saw Martimas rush by on the firm, hard footing against the rail, while the tired filly under him was stopping in the deep dust, and Autumn, Mr.Clay and Dr.Eichberg, 5 with Sloan on the latter, finishing in his best style, were trying to wrest the second place from him.For an instant Autumn had his nose in front of the filly, and then stopped and finished away back, Then Maher worked harder than ever, and although he could not catch the Canadian in front, who won easily by a cous ple of lengths, he could and did get the second money by half a length.There was a pretty struggle for third place between Williams on Mr.Clay and Sloan on Dr.Eichberg, and the former got it by a head.The remainder of the bunch was so close together that it was impossible to separate the horses.At the conclusion of the great race the starter appeared, and said that there | was nothing the matter with the horses, { and that the boys caused all the delay at the start, for which he had fined most \u201cof them $2C0 apiece, and had suspended | Rloan, Clawson, Peun and Murphy for a ( week.Summary: First space, 5 furlongs\u2014Clarobal, 110, J.McDonald, 15 to 1 and 5 to 1, won by half

Toronto, Aug.2¢.\u2014Toronto has some Big ideas, and the latest is to secure a Na- tionai League ball team.The News says: | \u201cA project is on foot in Toronto for the ! purchase of the Cleveland franchise in the National League.The parties interested are throwing out \u2018feelers\u2019 as to the chance of forming a joint stock company in the city to buy the club and transfer it here.The capital required is in the neighborhood of $75,000, and {the Cleveland franchise and club are cheap at the price.Éhould the deal by any chance go through, Toronto, as a matter of course, would drop out of the Eastern League.It is an open secret that \u2018The Little Magnate\u2019 has a longing eye on the Cleveland club, and even if the joint stock company idea falls through there is a remote possibility of Sir.| with every club in the union R.MH.E.| f \u2018the \u201c25 cents.i this year.FOOTBALL TALK IS BECOMING LIVELY It Will Soon Be Time for the Young Men to Chase the Pigskin.A Toronto Paper Makes Some Funny Remarks\u2014Somebody Wants Ottawa Back in the Fold.Football gossip is stirring the west considerably already, and the papers are devoting considerable space to the game.The Toronto Telegram says: \u2014 \u201cThis season things are in a quandary so far as the leagues and clubs are concerned.The Quebec and Ontario Unjons are not now as strong as of old.First of all, the Quebec Union is ' suffering from the internal disorders brought on last year by its officers, who lacked both tact and judgment, and whose narrow-minded partisaship did the game incalculable harm.However, things in the Quebec Union may come out on top again.Although McGill is now a member of the College League, it is believed it will still place a team in the Quebeo Union, and have the games in the two unions dove-tailed.\u201cThings in the Ontario Union are by no means lovely either.TAst year\u2019s executive came into almost deadly warfare rom London to Brockville, ending up with the final startling act by suspending Varsity and Granites, two of the oldest clubs in the union, for trifles which only needed the skill of a ninth-class politician to .straighten out.The result is that Var- | sity and Granites are no longer members of the O U., and it would take | very little (even the mere calling of Hamilton \u2018Lonesomehurst\u2019 by the R.F.U.executive), to make the champions retire from the O.R.F.U.also.Then again Brockville is openly dissatisfied with the way the union\u2019s affairs have been mismanaged, and they have been making other arrangements, having sent delegates to Montreal to discuss getting into the Quebec Union.Charlie Webster, of the Granites, has also visited Montreal to try and get his team in the Quebec UBSon.WHERE\u2019S THE NIGGER?A well-known Gitawa College footballer has written to ex-Captain Jack Savage, of the Montreal team, suggesting that College and Montreal should make a joint effort to get Ottawa back into the union.He points out that without Ottawa in the union the senior series will be very weak, and that in the interests of football in the east such action should be taken.2; The writer believes that a majority of the College team are anxious to see Ottawa back, and are willing to bury the hatchet with Ottawa as far as last year\u2019s trouble is concerned.It is believed that | Ottawa will be asked to go back by the College and Montreal teams.AS WAS EXPECTED LONG AGO.Ottawa Journal: Last spring it was announced with a considerable display of interest that the Senior Lacrosse League would be developed into an all-round athletic league and that Rugby football and hockey would be included in the branches of sport that the league would tak care It appears now that this arrangement may fall through.The football season is rapidly approaching and nothing is heard of the lacrosse clubs putting a team in the league.; ; President James Davidson, of the Capital Amateur Athletic Association, says that the Capitals will not put a team in the league.He says the Capitals will not run an opposition team to the Ottawas and College.Here it ig generally considered unlikely that there will be a football league among the lacrosse men.ATHLETICS.SPORTS ON SEPTEMBER 17TH.The annual handicap sports of the Ottawa A.A.C.will likely be held on September 17th, not the 10th, as first announced.The M.A.A.A.handicaps will be \u2018held on September 10th, with the O.A.A.C.\u2018sports a week later.The M.A.A.A.Tias bignified jte intention of sending up quite a strong team do the O.A.A.C.sports.SWIMMING.The Annual Races of the Montreal Swimming Club Will Take Place on Saturday Afternoon Next.The twenty-third annual races of the Montreal Swimming Club will be held at the Island bath on August 27.The programme is as follows :\u2014 1.Race, 50 yards (boys under 12 years only), two prizes.;

I also note the many prominent French-Canadian players on the Nationals, zs Foley, Kavanagh, Murphy, Brown, Wells, McKeown, White, Brennan, Welsh, and cannot help but ask \u201cWhat's in a name?\u201d In conclusion, Mr.Editor, let me say to you that the National aggregation will want to learn more about the game of lacrosse and your sporting writer more about fair play \u2019ere the saw- off takes place.You will learn before the end of the season that the \u201cboys\u201d in garnet and grev are the true exponents of manly, up-to-date modern lacrosse.J.G.Kil Ottawa, August 23rd.th Kit, TENNIS- WHITMAN IS CHAMPION.Newport, R.I, Aug.23\u2014Malcolm PB.Whitman won the National lawn tennis championship here to-day by defeating Davis.eee The Club Laurier, The Club Laurier met last evening under the presidency of Mr.L.A.Lefebvre, The treasurer\u2019s report of the picnic was adopted.The president spoke strougly against the little interest that certain members seemed to take in the success of the club.The roll had 1,400 names.Out of this large number only a few took an active interest in the club.If each member had bought a ticket to the picnic the club would have realized mearly $700.He thought it would be a good move to only admit those who could be depended upon when occasion demanded.The annual elections will be held about the first of October.A Wise Man looks ahead.Next month the weather will be much cooler, and a Fall Overcoat is indispensable.We are showing a splendid lot of new fall goods suitable for the season.Call and see them.Hugh Ross, 206 St.James Street.Fire and Then Burglary.An unusual case was that brought to the Police Court yesterday by Mr.P.O.Pelletier, of 829 Charlevoix street.After fire had caused damage to his house, robbers entered and deported almost its entire furnishings.On August 15th, the house took fire and since then the case has been in the hands of the Fire Commissioners for investigation.As the circumstances were of a suspicious nature, incendiarism was Suspected.Wednesday, however, while Mr.Pelletier was at work thieves broke into his place and stripped the house of about $300 worth of furniture.A partial description of the men was placed in the hands of the detectives and fenders.Ponton is Out on Bail.Napanee, Ont., Aug.24.\u2014Barrister Porter, accompanied by James Cummings and Thomas McGuiness, of Belleville, came here yesterday forenoon, and the latter two gentlemen gave bail for W.H.Ponton to the extent of $5,000 each, and Ponton\u2019s own bu being accepted for $10,000, he was released at noon yesterday by Magistrate Daly.| The New Hotel Carslake ls the largest i and best European House in Canada.Ad- ! joining both Grand Trunk and C.P.R.Depots.Rooms from $1.00 upwards.Blectric light.| Cuisine and service unsurpassed by any i hotel on the American continent.All meals \u201cA la carte.Dining room open from 6 a.m.to 12 p.m.To Clean Up at Hong Kong.{ Washington, D.C., Aug.24.\u2014Ambassador Hay, in a cablegram to the State Department yesterday, says that the British Government has directed the Governor of Hong Kong to accept Admiral Dewey's they arte now on the lookout for the of- ;

\u2018ontinuing, Mr.Harcourt denied that the Government is bound up in any way to any person.There are yet, he reminded the House, four and a half months before the contract expires, and ample time to take the matter up, and have specifications prepared in the most advantageous manner, as has been done in the past.Mr.Whitney pressed for an answer to his question whether or not an investigation has been going on.\u2018 i Hon.Mr.Harcourt\u2014There is no investigation at all.Mr.Matheson, while admitting that the present prices for presswork, folding, and stitching might be low, attacked the Government for having so drawn the specifi cetions that the extras upon the work of putting covers upon the statutes for 1897 had, under the contract allowing extra pay of three cents per section for all over 600 pages, so increased the amount pail the contractor that instead of getting $1,- 275 for the work, he received about $5,000.There had bene a fraud perpetrated upon the Province in this respect.Under the same clause the cost of the revised statutes would have been $75,000 instead of about $45,000, but the Attorney-General had insisted that the contract did not in- ments with respect to it by which the work was done for $35,000.The Government had, he admitted, done their duty in this matter, and the: Government supporters applauded this candid admission of facts.Hon.Mr.Harcourt said the revised statutes are only issued once in ten years, and, therefore, were not included in the contract.There is no large schedule of work in the contract, he explained, and while some of it is done at a loss there |mav be profit on other items.\"The House then went into committee of supply, and there was a little passage at arms between Opposition members and the Provincial Treasurer.Mr.Kribs, of South -Waterloo, asked how the item for | $60,000 was to be expended, to which Mr.{ Harcourt replied that if the questioner had | paid a little attention to the last copy of the public accounts he would see for himself.Mr.Whitney said the Government was voting sufficient supply for the first three months of 1899, which virtually made it unnecessary to call the House again till \u2018next spring.He defended Mr.Kribs in tasking information, and the latter, indig- , nant at the reply he had got, said the \u2018next time he asked a question he wanted & civil answer.Mr.McLaughlin, of Stormont, said that the Opposition intended watching what was being done with the people\u2019s money, and Mr.Wardell, of North Wentworth, asked why, if in January last, estimates were passed for the present year, the Government at this time was asking for a vote for more money.Mr.Harcourt said that the present session was an introductory of the session of 1899.The House adopted the estimates as a whole and then went into committee on the Constable Bill.A clause was added making it possible for a party holding a fishing license to become a member of the Legislature.After some discussion, Mr.Hardy proposed to meet a contention raised by Mr.Whitney to increase the number of counsel who shall be heard before the Court of Appeal from two to three.There was a discussion as to the finality of the decision of the Court of Appeal on the election cases.Mr.Whitney and Mr.Foy Held that the cases could be carried to the Supreme Court in spite of the wording of the act.Mr.Whitney quoted the decision of Mr.Justice Teschereau, who laid down the principle of the right to ap- ! peal under the statute while to the same extent denying the-power of the Legislature to compel delivery of a decision of the Court of Appeal being binding on the vota judges and on any other court, and also the Court of Appeal.Mr.Whitney argued that the condition of affairs would be still more confusing after the passage of the act.Mr.Fov, Q.C., South Toronto, contended that while submitting the question to the Court of Appeals that court was really not a court of appeal in the matter, but a court which gave its judgment after argument, like any other court.The diffizul- \u2018 ] ! ! 008 Eo ties amounted to this: That although thi PTT SA A 9 ing\u2014Hat Wilson (102), 15 to 1, won;

But money is not the only consideration,\u201d continued Sir Thomas, \u201cas brains are needed, and there will be more brains | put into this boat than some people are \u2018aware of.Everything that money and \u2018brains can devise will be done to make her the most perfect yacht that ever sailed.I know the difficulties in front of us, and by no means underestimate the task, but lift that cup we will if skilful designing, good workmanship and seamanship on our side is not overmatched by our rivals.I may say, to show the enthusiasm with which everyane connected with the challenge is approaching the matter, that \u2018Messrs.Harland & Wolff, who have al- \u2018ready shipbuilding orders in hand to keep them busy for the next three years, have agreed to take the contract for the building of the challenger at considerable inconvenience to themselves.The Hon.W.+ J.Pirrie will personally supervise the construction of.the boat.\u201d | \u201cDid you consider the claims of other reprosentative designers before you decid- \u2018ed to imptrust the lines ot the new boat to Fife?\u201cYes.It was only after very careful consideration that we decided to give the order to Fife.We have every confidence in him, and he thinks he can justify it.\u2018Fife thinks that hitherto the best boat hag won in the sup contests.\u201d 1s 18 your first essay in y cin Sir Thomas! 7\u201d yin yacht racing, | Yes, but I have always been very fond \u2018of cruising in Scottish and American waters.A few months ago I was in treaty for one of the largest steam yachts afloat;

rangements to the holders of the cup.I Snow the States well, and, as I have said before, a fairer or more sportsmanlike ; body of men never lived than American yachtsmen.I am sure I shall get fair play from them.\u201d The Champlain Monument.Quebec, Aug.24.\u2014The president and members of the Champlain monument have issued invitations to leading citizens for the inauguration ceremonies which are to take place on Thursday, the 15th September, at 2 o'clock p.m.Mr.W.J.Miss Galletly, late principal of the School of Cookery, Y.W.C.A., will on Septem: ber 5th open the Montreal School of Cookery at 166 Peel street.mt ann HUNDREDS OF THEM.Hundreds throughout Canada are talking the cent ELM for tender, sweaty feet.250 gives suinedipio relief and all druggists sell it at 5 ., or A RP TUT, Bowmanville, Ose went so far er of Parlia-' \u2014 Wr rel YS ~~ = M9 PAUVRE TETE VAT VEER VAMMVEVAY MM TETHER 11 le 3 or er qe 16 la C- (= n8 18 rid ce a INVESTMENT THE HERALD, MONTREAL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1808.Municipal and SECURITIES.Oeher Firat R.WILSON SMITH, Financial Agent, STANDARD CHAMBERS, 151 St.Jnmes St, MONTREAL, First-class Investments always on hand.Dominion Bank.Capital paid up.$1,500,000, Rest $1,500,000.HEAD OFFICE\u2014Toronto.Hon.Sir Frank Smith, President, E.B.Osler, M.P., Vice-President.R.D.Gamble, General Manager.MONTREAL BRANCH.i Cor.Notre Dame and St, Francois XawvieB streets, A General Banking Business trans: acted.Collections promptly made.Exchange bought and so!d.Domestic and Foreign Credits issued.Savings Bank Department\u2014In- terests allowed on highest current rates.CLARENCE A.BOGERT, Manager.cettgrsascennesanene MARKET WISÀ VERY DULL ONE There Was Little Activity on the Stock Exchange This Morning.TONE A LITTLE WEAKER.Canadian Pacific Declines a Fraction on Both London and Local Markets.fmol a JACQUES CARTIER BANK FIRM.re permet The dull and spiritless appearance of the stock market this morning matched the weather outside.There was almost a stagnation in trading, although prices were firm.Street Railway declined a fraction of a point, but only ten shares changed hands, and twice as many new Street Railway also sold at a trifle lower than yesterday.Co ;

he didn\u2019t know anything.It was the cleanest case of knockout that has yet been scen in the series of \u201cbouts\u201d that the city has been treated to during the past few years, and for it Mike Conway got Sixteen dollars and fifty cents, out of which he paid his backers six dollars.Jimmy Mulhearn got six dollars and thirty cents as the result of a collection in a hat, which was passed round.while jas trying to recollect w - pened to him, what had hap The fight was arranged within a few hours.Both men were visitors to the city and unknown to each other.The sporty inclined were given the tip dur.Ing the afternoon that the rendezvous had been fixed on Ontario street, near the market, at 8.20 P.m.À start was made for a barn in Lachine, used on many former occasions, but the proprietor said he had been warned by a friend that the authorities would interfere, and as he kept an hotel, he was afraid of his license.He gave the leaders of the outing a drink, others bought one for themselves, and a start was made for a place half way to the city.It was no use, however; the story of the intended fight had preceded the crowd, and gradually, towards two o'clock, many of the followers dropped off.Jn a drizzling rain the party was told to drive to a spot half a mile from the old Roberts half way house, on the Back River road.It was a pretty long journey; upper Westmount and round the mountain the partially disgusted sports cade their way as quickly as horse flesh could pull them.At a quarter to three the spot was reached.man carrying a lantern seemed to have been expecting them, for he at once commenced to get the place in shape.\u201c Never mind de ropes,\u201d said Jimmy, we scrap fur money, not fur rules.\u201d \u201cWhat's the purse?\u2019 asked Mike, and on being told that it was over 812, he threw up his hands and declared the scra off.After the many vicissitudes through which the party had passed, it was decided to add a little more coin, and finally about $17 was raised.The men were quickly undressed, and the referee-a prominent hotelkeeper\u2014was in the act of giving the men instructions when some one said \u201cpolice.\u201d Talk about a scramble.It was one of the liveliest exits ever known.When hiding places had been found, a doubting whisper went around as to the whereabouts of the police.It was proved to be a false alarm, but a dozen of the thirty who had braved the night had left for home when Conway and Mulhearn againi faced each other.The rest of the story is short.Conway rushed at his opponent like a mad bull, and had pounded him fearfully when the bell rang announcing the end of the first round.Mulhearn braced up wonderfully, however, and made a brave attempt to make a good showing when he again came up.He was totally unfit to meet such a man ag Conway.The latter smashed him right and left, and in a minute and a half knocked him senseless, with a right- hand swing on the temple.Conway says He will mow look for Tommy Boyle\u2019s wonder.As he drove down St.Lawrence street at five this morning.he shouted: .\u201cI can lick Boyle and his man wit me one arm, see!

The president of the Canadian Jockey Club has bought and bred many thoroughbreds, and' his opinion certainly ought to be a good one.Nor in this case was he carried away by every owner's natural partiality for his own.Martimas made his first appearance in a race when he started on July 4 for the Welland stakes of $1,000 at Tort Erie, which he won.Fight days later he won the Niagara stakes of $1,000 also at Fort Erie.Then he went to Montreal, where at the Bel Air meeting he won the St.Lawrence stakes of $1,000.From Montreal he was sent to Saratoga.At the Springs he started twice, in both parts of the Grand Union Hotel stakes.On the first occasion he was beaten by Kentucky Colonel, who had a flying start and could not he caught.Last Saturday, in muddy going, he finished fourth to Matanza, Kinley Mack and Manuel.Füur others finished hehind Martimas, among them being Kentucky Colonel.But yesterday saw his crowning performance, for he made good his owner's prediction and won the Futurity in a field of twenty-nine starters.The prize\u2014$35,000\u2014to the first horse is the richest of the American turf.The Futurity winner comes from the celebrated Bet Bosley family, whidk gave to the American _turf Madstone, Cricklore, Joe Hooker, Xentigema, Knight Templar, Lolly McCarthy, Alta, Hidalgo, Fits James, Uncle Bob, Blackburn, Ambulance, Once Again and many other famous horses.He has not been overdone as a two-year-old, and is likely to be still better in his three-year-old form.\u2014_\u2014 Catholie Poresters: Brantford, Ont., Aug.24.\u2014(S ecial.)\u2014 The fourth annual convention Gp the \u20ac tholic Ordér of Foresters opened here.After the presentation of credentials the High Court proceeded to St.Basil\u2019s Church.High Secretary Arthur Morel\u2019g report showed that the total membershin during the year has increased br the addition of 464 members to the roll.Provincial Treasurer G.A, Sequin, of Ottawa, submitted a report, showing receipts of £3.829.15, with an expenditure of $2.074.68.The Brantford firemen gave the delegates an exhibition, and an address of welcome was in order from Mayor Rav.mond.' 0 4 \u2014 ASK your grocer for For Table LAKE OF THE W00DS MILLING CO.LIMITED.The Most Perfect Mills in Canada.Keewatin, 2,250 bbls.per day;

Aug.24\u2014Reveiewing the western crop situation, the Free Press says this morning: \u201cThe general business outlook remains good, owing to the favorable weather for the harvesting of the crops.Fear of damage is now practically over, as a great deal of the crop has been cut, and the temperature remains high.Another cold dip after the one threatened a week ago, is not likely to occur until next month.The sample of the new crop promises to be exceptionally good, plump in berry and very hard.The yield is estimated at an average for the province of 18 bushels.In some parts not more than ten bushels ig expected, while in others it will not fall below 25 to the acre.This is on the estimate of gentlemen of many years\u2019 experience, and who have not been more than a couple of bushels out in their previous estimates.The heavy rains of Monday night and the night before will retard threshing from the stook, but will not hinder general harvesting operations.Business, on account of the pressure of harvesting operations, has, during the week, been quiet, but a heavy fall trade is anticipated.The arrival of several farm hands\u2019 excursions from the east has provided plenty of labor, and no trouble will \u2018arise in getting the crop handled.It was thought at one time that there might be a twine famine, but, though the crop was heavier than expected, there will be lenty of twine to bind it.Building operations are being carried on en a large scale in the city, and the demand for skilled labor is strong.It is feared that some of the larger buildings will not completed before frost puts an end to the operations for the season \u2014_\u2014 Bishop of Delaware to Preach.The Right Reverend Leighton Coleman, D.D., Bishop of Delaware, who is the chief speaker

Apostle.Bishop Coleman is endowed with a vofce which, for richness, is seldom equalled, and when to this you add an earnestness and eloquence far beyond the average, you have one of the most attractive preachers of that noted body\u2014the Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church.The Bishop, although not a stranger in Montreal, has not been here for some years, therefore many will no doubt avail themselves of this opportunity of hearing him.Sr Winnineg Grain Hxchange.Winnipeg, Aug.24 \u2014Samples of excellent threshed wheat are on the table at the Grain Exchange from Neepawa.The
